qin | Stereocaulon: That it is pusleaudio issue, btw, do pulse see wine alsa plugin? | 00:00 |
jellow | I do not have sound when I install pulse audio , How can I enable sound + pulse audio | 00:00 |
Majere_Draven | I love Reisio | 00:00 |
reisio | he's okay | 00:01 |
kamiccolo | Lauratika, very sorry :S | 00:01 |
kamiccolo | jxshxx, have You added DNS servers to Connection Properties? Are You sure, that those DNS servers are not down? Have You tried pinging 173.194.32.16 (google) or other ip? | 00:01 |
Stereocaulon | qin, I'm not sure how to check that, in winecf I see winealsa.drv as loaded driver if you mean that. | 00:01 |
lauratika | anybody eles? | 00:01 |
qin | _rep_: man zip, man rar | 00:02 |
Ibis | What does chroot command does exactly in Ubuntu? Does it actually "switch" operating system installed to a certain directory? | 00:02 |
lloyd | Trying to get multimedia working on 10.04 One issue is that FF tells me " | 00:02 |
lloyd | Microsoft Media Server (MMS) protocol source" | 00:02 |
reisio | Ibis: nope | 00:02 |
reisio | Ibis: man chroot knows, though | 00:02 |
dddbmt_ | Hi guys. I just updated my Chromium browser as on http://www.ubuntu-corner.com/2011/06/chromium-12-available-in-stable-ppa/ and now it wont start. Any great ideas? | 00:03 |
qin | Stereocaulon: more: pacmd list-sink-inputs | 00:03 |
lloyd | And so http://viewers.multicastmedia.com/asx_files/EWTN_Channel55_English_DomesticEnglish_100k.asx just leaves me with black screen. | 00:03 |
reisio | dddbmt_: use something that's in the repos instead? | 00:03 |
sasori | hi, is it possible to downgrade 11.10 -> 11.04 ? | 00:03 |
mkultra | probably not | 00:04 |
sasori | is it a delicate process ? | 00:04 |
orp | lol for what ? | 00:04 |
reisio | sasori: it'll probably take you more time than backing up and doing a fresh install is all | 00:04 |
sasori | me wants ubuntu SE, it's not compatible with ubuntu 11.10 T_T | 00:04 |
lloyd | So how do I get FF to play .asx video streams? | 00:04 |
reisio | sasori: what's ubuntu se? | 00:04 |
reisio | lloyd: install gecko-mediaplayer | 00:04 |
sasori | satanic edition XD | 00:04 |
lloyd | reisio: tnx | 00:04 |
mkultra | lol | 00:04 |
reisio | sasori: isn't that a whole separate distro? | 00:04 |
dddbmt_ | reisio, I was trying to install V12 for CSS purposes. Is that possible from repos? | 00:05 |
sasori | according to their site, it can be installed over an existing ubuntu..i didn't saw it's not compatible with oneiric :S | 00:05 |
mkultra | satan would probably build linux from scratch | 00:05 |
mkultra | build it in a virtual machine sasori | 00:05 |
reisio | dddbmt_: what's wrong with 14 or 15 that chromium-browser gives? | 00:05 |
qin | mkultra: Rather bsd | 00:05 |
fade_ | anyone here major in computer science? | 00:06 |
mkultra | me | 00:06 |
_rep_ | <-- | 00:06 |
reisio | sasori: I guess it's mostly a GNOME 2 theme/set, then | 00:06 |
mkultra | 11.10 is gnome 3 | 00:06 |
reisio | fade_: #supernerds | 00:06 |
mkultra | gnome 3 trickle down | 00:06 |
sasori | i dunno i dunno http://www.ubuntusatanic.org/installation.php | 00:06 |
Stereocaulon | qin, no as far as I can see it does not. I only see a sink for my VBOX process, not wine. care for a pastebin? | 00:06 |
jxshxx | kamiccolo, I've got 2 other computer running fine, and the one I'm on now is also Lucid. Where do I look for connection properties? | 00:06 |
sasori | http://www.ubuntusatanic.org/releases.php here's the list of their compatibility | 00:07 |
Ibis | reisio: At the moment, I'm following this tutorial: http://forum.ovh.co.uk/showthread.php?t=3787 I can't chroot from a 32bit set up to a 64bit set up. (the /ubuntu). I'm trying t to understand what's going on here. | 00:07 |
fade_ | what server is that channel on | 00:07 |
Ibis | reisio: I done this before, yea on a real 64bit machine, but I'm working on a virtual machine that supports 54. | 00:07 |
Ibis | 64bit* | 00:07 |
dddbmt_ | reisio, even better - didn't know that is was that high. I suppose that is available? How should I update it as it seems now? | 00:07 |
qin | Stereocaulon: So you know why it is not playing. I am not keen with pulse. | 00:07 |
reisio | Ibis: you still need a 64-bit environment to chroot into a 64-bit environment | 00:08 |
kamiccolo | jxshxx, right click network manager applet -> Edit Connection | 00:08 |
reisio | dddbmt_: is it even installed? | 00:08 |
reisio | dddbmt_: sudo apt-get install chromium-browser | 00:08 |
Stereocaulon | qin, here you are : http://pastebin.com/T1cA0Q8B | 00:09 |
jellow | Why would pulse audio break sound ? | 00:09 |
mkultra | pulse audio is a bitch, thats why | 00:09 |
dddbmt_ | reisio, yes it is. | 00:09 |
mkultra | pulse audio broke my sound on slackware for the longest time, crackling effects | 00:10 |
OerHeks | jellow, after upgrade, all i had to do is remove ~/.pulse and sound was back | 00:10 |
Ibis | reisio: But it's not offered on the server I'm working on. So I wonder if theres a work around. Like if I can apt-get install some packages to a different directory, as though it's the root directory orsomething (Basically, using apt-get to install for another system that is mounted in a different directory). | 00:10 |
Stereocaulon | mkultra, Oh, my the crackling. Yes I know that one all too well. | 00:10 |
mikodo | So, for my /home, would this be the proper settings: http://imagebin.org/181786 | 00:10 |
reisio | Ibis: you can yes | 00:10 |
=== sm1 is now known as Guest8468 | ||
jxshxx | kamiccolo, Got it. Can you tell me how to add DSN? Don't see that option, poking around. | 00:11 |
Stereocaulon | OerHeks, did you have any sound outside of wine?, because I do. Everything works, except wine | 00:11 |
mkultra | nothing worse than making a beautiful hand build distribution and pule audio crackling everything up | 00:11 |
Ibis | reisio: So that's what I'm looking for. If this works out pretty well, I can happy dance and know what to do in the near future and not stand around looking "dumb". | 00:11 |
reisio | mkultra: you hand built Ubuntu, did you? | 00:11 |
=== Guest8468 is now known as sm1 | ||
reisio | Ibis: debootstrap is probably what you want | 00:12 |
jellow | OerHeks: Will try that thank you. | 00:12 |
Simon___ | Hi, I started a program on over a ssh connection and now i want to close my ssh connection without killin the process. I didn't use nohup when I started it.. is there anway for me to safely move it to the background without it hanging up? | 00:12 |
kamiccolo | jxshxx. Wireless -> Click Your Wireless Network -> Edit -> IPv4Settings -> Add | 00:12 |
Stereocaulon | reisio, I believe mkultra meant Slackware, not Ubuntu... | 00:12 |
mkultra | yes slackware pulse audio problems | 00:13 |
OerHeks | Stereocaulon, did you check alsamixer ? | 00:13 |
kamiccolo | jxshxx. no no no, not add. Just write those dns ip's on their input. | 00:13 |
mkultra | and linux from scratch also | 00:13 |
reisio | Stereocaulon: still begs the question | 00:13 |
Stereocaulon | OerHeks, yes of course, all channels are there and reacting beautifully | 00:13 |
dr_willis | Simon___: This is when its a good time to learn to start using screen or byobu by default over ssh. | 00:13 |
mkultra | yes screens a good idea to learn | 00:14 |
dr_willis | Simon___: i think theres a way you can ctrl-z then some how detatch it .. but ive not had to do it in ages... | 00:14 |
dr_willis | !info byobu | 00:14 |
Simon___ | dr_willis: If I had planned to shut down my connection i would have used nohup.. | 00:14 |
ubottu | byobu (source: byobu): powerful, text based window manager and shell multiplexer. In component main, is optional. Version 4.37-0ubuntu1 (oneiric), package size 74 kB, installed size 700 kB | 00:14 |
qin | Simon___: if it is 32bit, there is retty, to attack process to tmux or screen, fail rate 50% | 00:14 |
Simon___ | :/ | 00:15 |
dr_willis | set up byobu to be the default shell... then it wont be an issue again. | 00:15 |
qin | *attach | 00:15 |
dr_willis | !info retty | 00:15 |
ubottu | retty (source: retty): attach processes running on other terminals. In component universe, is extra. Version 1.0-2ubuntu1 (oneiric), package size 10 kB, installed size 76 kB (Only available for i386) | 00:15 |
Simon___ | i'm ~70% through a process | 00:15 |
reisio | you'd use um... dupx or reptyr | 00:15 |
dr_willis | !info dupx | 00:15 |
ubottu | Package dupx does not exist in oneiric | 00:15 |
reisio | or retty apparently, seem to be so many these days | 00:15 |
dr_willis | L() | 00:15 |
dr_willis | I alwyas have weechat running in a screen session. :) so im always using screen | 00:16 |
jellow | Simon___: Can't you use fg bg look at man pages ? | 00:16 |
reisio | doesn't work that way | 00:16 |
dr_willis | I think oncve you logout fg/bg would be killed.. | 00:16 |
Simon___ | jellow: i think bg will still hangup the process | 00:16 |
reisio | you want to bring it back in a screen | 00:17 |
Simon___ | no it can go to the background until it's finished | 00:17 |
Simon___ | would fg, bg, diswon work? i've never used disown.. | 00:18 |
Stereocaulon | qin, I already tried pasuspender, to disable pulse for that session. It did not work, still no audio. | 00:18 |
oldschool | hi does anyone know how to install crashplan on ubuntu i just download it the CrashPlan_3.0.3_Linux.tgzand i dont know how to install new to ubuntu | 00:18 |
jxshxx | kamiccolo, I must be trying to do the wrong thing because I have nothing to write. I just need to connect to the net. It says the wireless is there, but Chrome and FF disagree ... | 00:19 |
reisio | you'd lose the output, though | 00:19 |
reisio | oldschool: there're probably instructions inside the tarball | 00:19 |
kamiccolo | jxshxx, does it ping 173.194.32.16 ? | 00:20 |
qin | Stereocaulon: I do not know, onestly, my adice isto run wine in plain x (with or withuot pulseaudio running), form time to time to can spot sinks blocking each other, but again, i do not cope with pulseaudio, it is magic to me. | 00:20 |
reisio | fade_: why do you ask | 00:21 |
Stereocaulon | qin, black magic that does not work properly in wine... | 00:21 |
jxshxx | kamiccolo, 5 packets transmitted and received | 00:21 |
fade_ | trying to get advice from someone with a cs degree | 00:21 |
vadi2 | Are there any workarounds to the software centre taking 2mins to start and eating all CPU resources while doing so? | 00:22 |
pnorman | So, I've confirmed it - the partitioner on the ubuntu 11.10 server installer is hanging at 70% | 00:22 |
kamiccolo | jxshxx, so i think, that there are no DNS servers set. | 00:22 |
jxshxx | kamiccolo, I've put Lucid on several computers and never had to do anything manually. Where to start? | 00:24 |
oldschool | would crashplan run with wine? | 00:25 |
reisio | oldschool: if there's a win32 version, maybe, yeah | 00:25 |
reisio | oldschool: but if you have a .tgz, that'd probably be better | 00:26 |

kamiccolo | jxshxx, try these google public dns servers: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 | 00:28 |
pnorman | Does anyone know where the hashes for the ubuntu server download .isos are? I want to verify that this has correctly downloaded | 00:28 |
Guest11554 | Question - I have two admin users on my Ubuntu box. User, and HTPC. When I'm in User and I try to unlock a system setting that requires root, "HTPC" shows up in the override box, NOT User. Why? | 00:28 |

dsnyders | !visor | 00:28 |
dr_willis | !hash | 00:28 |

ubottu | 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 | 00:29 |
scribus12 | whooa. just learned that ACER removes windows and gives you 60-65$ refund for IT if you use Linux. IMHo- more people should know about tis. | 00:29 |

pnorman | reisio: Thanks. | 00:29 |

dr_willis | the md5 files are also at the ftp/download server i recall | 00:30 |

jxshxx | kamiccolo, So I haven't done ANYTHING as far as I know, but suddenly it's working .... | 00:30 |
reisio | pnorman: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+cdmirrors FFR | 00:30 |
reisio | the checksum files are kept in the same dirs as the ISO images | 00:30 |
kamiccolo | jxshxx, he he :) maybe Your default DNS servers there just down... | 00:32 |
roasted | Question - I have two admin users on my system. Let's say it's Bob, and Fred. I'm logged in as Bob, but when I need to run as sudo, the dialog box that comes up has Fred's name in it. Why is it not Bob, who's currently logged in? | 00:32 |
kamiccolo | jxshxx, or some kind of magic button... :) | 00:32 |
reisio | roasted: what's the actual command you run? | 00:32 |
gskellig | 64bit 11.10, flash player is not working on any browser, using the install file from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/completion/?installer=Flash_Player_11_for_Ubuntu_(apt) | 00:32 |
roasted | reisio, I'm not running a command. I'm trying the "unlock" setting in system settings. | 00:33 |
reisio | gskellig: if you're getting it from adobe.com you're already doing it wrong | 00:33 |
roasted | reisio, in particular I was in to add a new user, so I hit unlock to override and I noticed the wrong name. | 00:33 |
gskellig | where should i be getting it from | 00:33 |
reisio | roasted: it's probably whatever one you used during instlal | 00:33 |
reisio | install* | 00:33 |
dr_willis | !flash | 00:34 |
ubottu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 00:34 |
dr_willis | Flash installer in the repos. i belive. | 00:34 |
Tech-1 | Haing a hard time w/flash...it plays but wont fast forward or reverse the video portion....what exactly has to be installed and uninstalled for this to work properly ? ubuntu 10.10 | 00:34 |
dr_willis | I alwyas check enable 3rd party/restricted/updates during install. :) | 00:34 |
roasted | reisio, negative. However, the 2nd user I think claimed the 1st user spot, because I have deleted the user that once resided in spot 1. | 00:34 |
roasted | reisio, if tha tmakes sense? | 00:34 |
Stereocaulon | qin, thank you for putting me on the right track. It seems that in my current config, pulseaudio won't make a pulseaudio sink. | 00:34 |
reisio | roasted: seems likely enough | 00:34 |
roasted | reisio, User1 was created during install. User2 created after. I deleted User1 while logged in as User 2. Then, I created User3. When I'm in as User3, it doesn't come up as User3 to override - it comes up as User2. | 00:35 |
reisio | I suppose this is what happens when you destroy the root paradigm | 00:35 |
* Tech-1 looks | 00:35 | |
jdread | people living off free software only get to outspace by abusing dust in the GPU (LTS) : | 00:35 |

reisio | roasted: you didn't, Ubuntu did :p | 00:36 |

jobalcaen2 | can anyone help me setup a fixed ip on a wireless interface? | 00:37 |
reisio | normally there are normal users and root, and if you want to to admin-y things you become root | 00:37 |

roasted | jrib, through the user accounts system setting | 00:39 |
Ibis | djjonex_: Reset your router so it can then be assigned a new IP perhaps? (Are you running a remote server, or is this a desktop computer in your home?) | 00:39 |

jobalcaen2 | how do I copy text that spans more than one page? I'm ssh'd into my ubuntu server | 00:48 |
jrib | roasted: and both show username incorrectly? | 00:49 |
jobalcaen2 | I want to copy and pastebin it | 00:49 |
dr_willis | jobalcaen2: theres the pastebinit command you could try to use.. somehow | 00:49 |
dr_willis | command | pastebinit | 00:49 |

dr_willis | command thatmakesoutput | pastebinit :) | 00:52 |
jdread | did u know that the gnu "dir" command on ubuntu doesn't show u file sizes? NOW thats crazy | 00:52 |
Tech-1 | trust me, i'm no expert either. | 00:52 |
_r00t_ | jobalcaen2: cat interfaces | pastebinit | 00:52 |
dr_willis | jdread: the dir command as far as i know was an alias to ls. | 00:52 |
jdread | try it urself ... open a terminal and typ dir | 00:52 |
dr_willis | but i guess thats changeable.. | 00:52 |
jdread | ubuntu doesnt want you to see file sizes | 00:52 |
dr_willis | $ alias dir | 00:52 |
dr_willis | alias dir='dir --color=auto' | 00:52 |
_r00t_ | ps thanks for the pastebinit heads up .... very neat | 00:52 |
dr_willis | jdread: most people should be using ls.. not dir | 00:52 |

mikodo | Hi, is this correct for /home (755 root:root): http://paste.ubuntu.com/724837/ | 01:06 |
SupaYoshi | Hi, I made my startup delay 0 seconds, at grub menu tried some guides on the internet using the live cd | 01:06 |
bekks | mikodo: Yes. | 01:06 |
SupaYoshi | how to get it back without reinstalling? | 01:06 |
mikodo | bekks, Thank you :) | 01:06 |
bekks | mikodo: /home should be owned by root, while /home/user should be owned by user. | 01:07 |
mikodo | bekks, I check my /home/user too | 01:07 |
_r00t_ | SupaYoshi: keep hitting tab or esc whilst you're booting up ... you'll get into the menu | 01:08 |
SupaYoshi | really? Oh ok | 01:09 |
mikodo | bekks, should /home/user be 777 | 01:09 |
SupaYoshi | :D lemme try | 01:09 |
bekks | mikodo: In ubuntu, thats default. Personally, disregarding the ubuntu way of life, I am setting /home/user to 0750. | 01:09 |
sasori | is it possible to triple boot a machine? ..like e.g win7,ubuntu 11.10, ubuntu 11.04 ? | 01:09 |
bekks | sasori: Sure. | 01:09 |
mikodo | bekks, thanks | 01:10 |
fictive | can anyone help me determine which gpu is actually running under ubuntu on my laptop? I'm having problems with battery consumption in ubuntu vs windows | 01:10 |
bekks | mikodo: Caution: DONT set it like that if you dont now what you are doing there and what it implies _exactly_. | 01:10 |
SupaYoshi | r00t: not working | 01:10 |
dsnyders | sasori, absolutely. You just add another entry in grub. | 01:11 |
sasori | hmmn ok thanks | 01:11 |
Ibis | Is there a way to apt-get install packages for ANOTHER filesystem? You would have a system normally installed in: /, But to install FOR /anothersystemDirectory <--- Where that is actually a mounted harddrive. | 01:11 |
SupaYoshi | i made it 0 with startupmanager... | 01:11 |
qin | bekks: Default is 755 for /home/user | 01:11 |
FrankJameso | is there anyone here that has experience doing a raid setup with ubuntu/ | 01:11 |
bekks | qin: ack. | 01:11 |
mikodo | bekks, Then being a noob, maybe best to stay with the Ubuntu default for /home/user, yes? | 01:11 |
FrankJameso | and is it possible to use hardware controllers for it with linux, or only software? | 01:11 |
xangua | !anyone | FrankJameso | 01:11 |
ubottu | FrankJameso: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. | 01:11 |
bekks | mikodo: Yes. | 01:11 |
TheHackOps | Hey guys if anyone is on from last night i fixed my sound problem when i updated to 10.10 im happy larry now | 01:12 |
mikodo | bekks, :) | 01:12 |
dsnyders | FrankJameso, I think you're going to get more info from Google than you will here, unless you have specific issues. But as a quick answer, yes, ubuntu can run both hardware and software RAID | 01:14 |
syoma | reisio, Klojum , vino service only listed on localhost.. | 01:14 |
FrankJameso | thanks d | 01:14 |
theborger | hey guys question. just installed 10.04 on a dual Opteron. and cpu usage is high on one. low on other, and they keep switching. | 01:14 |
Ibis | TheHackOps: Can you post exactly how you did that? | 01:14 |
Ibis | IT may help someone with your problem. | 01:14 |
TheHackOps | Ibis, Fixed my sound? | 01:14 |
Ibis | Yea that problem. | 01:15 |
TheHackOps | Ibis, Sure | 01:15 |
Ibis | And it wasn't me who assisted you. xD | 01:15 |
theborger | xorg is using a crap load of cpu | 01:15 |
TheHackOps | No BluesKaj helped me | 01:15 |

Ibis | Lol @ lapdance. | 01:17 |
yigal | rumpe1: I like this application I don't know why it randomly fails | 01:17 |
theborger | anyone? 32percent cpu usage for Xorg? | 01:17 |
yigal | theborger: are you playing games, what is your graphics card? | 01:18 |
TheHackOps | No your not color blind i would have said red | 01:18 |
theborger | yigal fresh install. noting running but gnome | 01:18 |
yigal | TheHackOps: red is a real dark red | 01:18 |
yigal | theborger: which games? | 01:19 |
TheHackOps | theborger, I would have said red also i had AC II running fine on my old install | 01:19 |
rumpe1 | yigal, maybe check the RGB-Values with gimp? | 01:19 |
yigal | rumpe1: I dig that | 01:19 |
TheHackOps | yigal, No its not the word "red" is yellow | 01:19 |

theborger | yigal, i am not playing games | 01:19 |
theborger | onced again, fresh install, as i just installed it now | 01:19 |
yigal | theborger: ah, no it sounds then that you aren't using the right driver | 01:20 |
yigal | theborger: probably vesa | 01:20 |
delac | it seems "Ubuntu One -> Hide Ribbon" doesn't have any effect. Is there a workaround? | 01:20 |

Gopher`` | okay, so installing 11 on a netbook, over external dvd drive connection(USB), and my netbook doesn't have a startup session where i can choose to boot from CD..rebooting with cd in drive doesn't show ubuntu on startup.. | 01:21 |
theborger | how do i get to run level 3? | 01:21 |
theborger | does init 3 work in term? | 01:22 |
yigal | theborger: sounds like safety mode safe mode, eg the second boot option | 01:23 |
theborger | yigal: how do you get out of x? | 01:23 |
theborger | just to a terminal window? | 01:24 |

theborger | no xorg runnig | 01:24 |
mikodo | bekks, Might, this still be OK for /home/user: http://paste.ubuntu.com/724848/ | 01:24 |

zykotick9 | !runlevels | theborger | 01:24 |
ubottu | theborger: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. | 01:24 |
TheHackOps | I wish skype would push an update for linux like maybe up to 5.0 at least | 01:24 |
bekks | mikodo: Yes - but I still do not advise to change the default. | 01:24 |
zykotick9 | theborger, stop your DM of choice - "sudo service lightdm stop" for new ubuntu | 01:25 |
yigal | zykotick9: yes but in general init 3 is console mode only | 01:25 |
yigal | right | 01:25 |
zykotick9 | yigal, not in ubuntu / debian | 01:25 |
pnorman | Partial success - I'm into the partitioner now, I had to make another USB flash with partition magic and wipe the partitions on one of the drives | 01:25 |
mikodo | bekks, I will try to set to default of 777 for home/user | 01:25 |
yigal | zykotick9: they still emulate these levels | 01:25 |
AleXstX | someone? | 01:25 |
yigal | zykotick9: and they still have some baring on actual usage | 01:25 |
bekks | mikodo: 777 is NOT the default - the default is 755. | 01:26 |
zykotick9 | !runlevels > yigal | 01:26 |
ubottu | yigal, please see my private message | 01:26 |
bekks | mikodo: And dont change it unless you know what you are doing. | 01:26 |
yigal | zykotick9: oh stop that | 01:26 |
yigal | zykotick9: of course upstart is used | 01:26 |
mikodo | bekks, 755 OK. Thanks! | 01:26 |
yigal | zykotick9: it has to do with the init scripts used | 01:27 |
yigal | zykotick9: they still are | 01:27 |
bekks | mikodo: Again: dont touch it at all unless you know what you are doing. | 01:27 |

jeeves_moss | how can I get my bluetooth headset to stop only accepting mono sound and use the A2DP protocol? | 01:35 |
yigal | jeeves_moss: go to sound preferences | 01:35 |
=== carlos is now known as Guest74561 | ||
yigal | jeeves_moss: are you using 11.10? | 01:35 |
jeeves_moss | yigal, I can see the option to select it, but when I do, nothing happens. | 01:35 |
jeeves_moss | yigal, yes, I'm using 10.10 | 01:35 |
yigal | jeeves_moss: so no you're not :) | 01:36 |
jeeves_moss | yigal, ?? | 01:36 |
yigal | jeeves_moss: interesting, what headset are you using? | 01:36 |
jeeves_moss | Moto A805 | 01:36 |
sasori | help..i installed ubuntu 10.10 on a virtual machine...after installation/reboot all i can see is a pure terminal..how to view the gnome ? T_T | 01:37 |
jeeves_moss | yigal, Make that a Moto S805 | 01:37 |
Guest74561 | does anybody knows why I can't able visual effects? | 01:37 |
twirm | sasori, try running "startx" | 01:37 |

jeeves_moss | yigal, ok, thanks. I have sound, but it sounds like crap. LOL | 01:38 |
sasori | twirm: now that works, thanks man :D | 01:38 |
yigal | jeeves_moss: I know, this has happened to quite a lot | 01:38 |
jeeves_moss | yigal, yea. don't even get me started on Windows 7! | 01:39 |
TheHackOps | yigal, Sucks mna | 01:39 |
TheHackOps | yigal, Sucks man | 01:39 |
yigal | TheHackOps: no worries, it's a bit odd | 01:39 |
yigal | TheHackOps: I should watch a movie and see what's like to see green men :) | 01:40 |
TheHackOps | yigal, Yeh go for it | 01:40 |
yigal | :D | 01:40 |
dr_willis | what if its a show about green men from mars.... | 01:40 |
yigal | dr_willis: then they'll prob. look red | 01:41 |
dr_willis | Pink. | 01:41 |
TheHackOps | Speaking of which does anyone know any codec packs that can playback 1080p lag free | 01:41 |
yigal | dr_willis: right : | 01:41 |
dr_willis | TheHackOps: it would depend on the codec the video is encoded in. and your system specs.. | 01:41 |
yigal | TheHackOps: not sure, I'm playing with an i5 and with a bug in the current kernal it handles flash as well as my atom notebook | 01:42 |
dr_willis | TheHackOps: in general.. the bigger thefile is due to the codec.. the less compresison.. thus less cpu needed to play it back | 01:42 |
sasori | hi, i went to system->administration-> and i found no "software sources" under ubuntu 10.10 , what's the alternative or where can i find that place ? | 01:42 |
dr_willis | for my netbook - i always reencoded stuff to be xvid, and reduced the res tobe what the netbook could do natively. | 01:42 |
TheHackOps | dr_willis, i know i should never make comparison but im talking about something like k-lite codec pack plays 1080p fine on my laptop on windows | 01:42 |
xangua | sasori: software centre-edit-sources | 01:43 |
dr_willis | a codec pac is just a collection of codecs.. it depends on the actual codec being used by the video | 01:43 |
yigal | dr_willis: sounds reasonable I usually would just crank up the CPU and throw in all the mplayer switches I could | 01:43 |
yigal | dr_willis: usually worked | 01:43 |
TheHackOps | dr_willis, I now use ubuntu as my main os (windows was just on here when i got it) | 01:43 |
cobalt237 | Has anyone had issues with the Unity panel not accepting mouse clicks? | 01:43 |
bsmith093 | possible noob question but, does everything always accept wildcards or can that cause wierd behavior? ( specifically ebook-convert from calibre) | 01:43 |
sasori | xangua: is that a command on the terminal ? | 01:43 |
sasori | i tried , it says command not found | 01:43 |
dr_willis | that h.686 or whatver its called.. is more cpu intensive.. but makes smaller files. :) | 01:43 |
yigal | bsmith093: everything? | 01:44 |
xangua | sasori: go to software centre and clic on the edit menu | 01:44 |
yigal | bsmith093: could you be more specific? | 01:44 |
TheHackOps | dr_willis, I find it a bit odd that its so much harder to playback media on linux distros | 01:44 |
bsmith093 | the ubuntu cli stuff? | 01:44 |
dr_willis | bsmith093: the 'wildcards' on the command line are normally parsed by the shell. not the app. try 'echo *' for example | 01:44 |
dr_willis | TheHackOps: i find it easier to play stuff on linux.. :) | 01:44 |
cobalt237 | on open applications, I can click on an icon and it will go to it | 01:44 |
sasori | xangua: there's no software centre option under the system->administration menu | 01:44 |
TheHackOps | dr_willis, Yes and no, getting stuff not to lag is hard | 01:44 |
cobalt237 | However, for other icons like "Lock Screen" it does nothing | 01:44 |
xangua | sasori: there is on the app menu | 01:45 |
xangua | ...... | 01:45 |
dr_willis | TheHackOps: cant say i really notice any lag. | 01:45 |
dr_willis | vlc + that vpadu stuff for the nvidia systems i guess.. :) | 01:45 |
TheHackOps | dr_willis, sounds like your setup is ace maybe i should copy it | 01:45 |
yigal | I still like the mplayer and it's keyboard use | 01:45 |
yigal | its | 01:45 |
Pilif12p | stupid question - When I cp -R /home/tanner/ /media/ehdd, it'll copy the dotfiles too right? | 01:45 |
bsmith093 | so wildcards for input all these files would'nt necessarily always return those files as input ( ex. ebook-convert *.cbz .pdf) | 01:46 |
dr_willis | only pc i got with any real tweaking needed to play things - is my netbook. | 01:46 |
reisio | Gopher``: you need to install GRUB to sda, or from inside Windows use EasyBCD to setup Windows' loader to know where GRUB is on sdb | 01:46 |
yigal | Pilif12p: yes in /home/tanner | 01:46 |
sasori | xangua: are you referring to the ubuntu one? | 01:46 |
Pilif12p | that's what I thought | 01:46 |
dr_willis | bsmith093: test with echo. see exactly what the * gets expanded to. | 01:46 |
reisio | Pilif12p: but /home/tanner/* would not | 01:46 |
yigal | Pilif12p: you are Correct! | 01:46 |
reisio | Pilif12p: not from the top directory /tanner/ anyways | 01:46 |
dr_willis | bsmith093: the shell expands the * and sends the expanded list to the app. | 01:47 |
Pilif12p | reisio: well, i actually did ~, not /home/tanner | 01:47 |
TheHackOps | dr_willis, Thats what im talking about on my desktop with a good graphics card i cant make it lag if i try | 01:47 |
reisio | Pilif12p: the difference being ~/ and ~/* | 01:47 |
TheHackOps | except flash | 01:47 |
reisio | Pilif12p: if you copy the directory, the . files are in it, and copied | 01:47 |
reisio | Pilif12p: if you copy * that doesn't match . files | 01:47 |
Pilif12p | reisio: So doing it without the *, it will copy dotfiles | 01:47 |
Pilif12p | ah | 01:47 |
reisio | will not, for the first directory | 01:47 |
dr_willis | bbl | 01:47 |
Pilif12p | but *.* will do that | 01:48 |

Pilif12p | unless I can figure out how to fix the incredibly annoying issues I have run into the past week | 01:52 |
yigal | Pilif12p: like what? | 01:52 |
karaguellek | yigal: Well i want to install my graphic card from ati i read the whole wiki but i cant find the xorg.conf i looked in /etc/X11 but its not there .. i have to add the driver | 01:53 |
yigal | karaguellek: cool, ya by default an xorg.conf won't exist | 01:53 |
Pilif12p | yigal: When I unplug my laptop it thinks that the battery is critically low and shuts down, touchpad doesn't work when mousing over a link and typing when moused over link, very short (10 seconds or less) before it shuts down with a critically low battery... | 01:54 |
Pilif12p | those are the 3 most annoying issues, there are more though | 01:54 |
Pilif12p | 11.10 was not ready to be released imo | 01:54 |
yigal | Pilif12p: sounds rough | 01:54 |
karaguellek | yigal: i am on ubuntu 11.10 when i make one on my desktop and put the lines in i had to and when i drag it to X11 and restart it won't boot | 01:54 |
Pilif12p | None of this happened on earlier versions of Ubuntu | 01:54 |
yigal | Pilif12p: ya I'm primarily an Arch user but I enjoy playing 11.10 every once in a while | 01:54 |
yigal | Pilif12p: see how the latest version is like | 01:55 |
karaguellek | yigal: any ida? | 01:55 |

Pilif12p | yigal: and not supporting GNOME2 pissed me off a bit. Gnome-panel on 3 is pretty horrible | 01:55 |
yigal | karaguellek: don't reboot | 01:55 |
yigal | karaguellek: just restart X right | 01:55 |

badbandit | how do I change to classic mode in 11.11? | 02:06 |
zykotick9 | !nounity | badbandit | 02:07 |
ubottu | badbandit: 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 | 02:07 |

MrPocketz | So, i had this laptop with Ubuntu on it. It was an HP Compaq nx6110 , kinda busted keyboard, and the CPU fan died. I happened to have a nicer Compaw nx6325 without the aforementioned flaws. | 02:17 |
TheHackOps | MrPocketz, Ok | 02:18 |
MrPocketz | pulled the HDD out of the old one, threw it in the new. Boots, runs better, everythign is great, but the resolution seems worse on this one, and it's as high as i can set it | 02:18 |
joljam | urlin2u, seems that my hard disk has some problems with GRUB2.. I have hold down SHIFT key for some time for my ubuntu11.10 to boot | 02:18 |
TheHackOps | MrPocketz, Did you install the correct graphics dirvers | 02:18 |
zykotick9 | MrPocketz, what graphics card? In terminal "lspci | grep -i vga" | 02:18 |
TheHackOps | zykotick9, Reckon skype will ever update again for linux | 02:19 |
MrPocketz | TheHackOps, I installed no graphics drivers. I checked the "hardware drivers' in System but it only installed the WiFi drivers | 02:19 |
MrPocketz | zykotick9, 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS482 [Radeon Xpress 200M] | 02:19 |
TheHackOps | MrPocketz, same as mine, except i have 400 | 02:19 |
Ibis | Is there a way to apt-get install packages for ANOTHER filesystem? You would have a system normally installed in: /, But to install FOR /anothersystemDirectory <--- Where that is actually a mounted harddrive. | 02:19 |
karaguellek | yigal: I can't make a .conf data | 02:19 |
zykotick9 | TheHackOps, doubt it, but maybe? It's proprietary MS garbage now (always was proprietary mind you). | 02:20 |
MrPocketz | yeah, i can only set this to 1024x768 | 02:20 |
TheHackOps | MrPocketz, Go and install flgrx or go to the ati website and download the mobility drivers | 02:20 |

MrPocketz | TheHackOps, will do! Thankyuh | 02:20 |
TheHackOps | MrPocketz, My max res is 1366x768 | 02:21 |
urlin2u | joljam, I doubt changing from grub 2 to grub legacy is the fix both are just a bunch of code. Have you tried just giving a detailed description on the Ubuntu Forums or here? | 02:21 |
TheHackOps | MrPocketz, I am on the one you want though because of flash but 1336 looks amazing | 02:21 |
MrPocketz | I believe it! | 02:22 |
joljam | urlin2u, I think its the problem with the way my 640 GB hard disk is configured. | 02:22 |
MrPocketz | i don't really care about graphical quality, i spend most of my time in CLi | 02:22 |
MrPocketz | i just want the physical space | 02:22 |
TheHackOps | MrPocketz, want a link to your drivers? | 02:23 |
MrPocketz | TheHackOps, i can probably track it down, but if you've got it handy It'd be much appreciated. | 02:23 |

TheHackOps | MrPocketz, 64bit or 32 | 02:24 |

TheHackOps | No problem | 02:26 |
TheHackOps | Is about 79 mb so yeh | 02:26 |
brandel | I know you can easily do this using compizsettings with unity3d, unity2d is a bit more mysterious | 02:26 |
urlin2u | joljam, show the command run as well try agail the l is a small L | 02:27 |
urlin2u | again* | 02:27 |
TheHackOps | I feel that amd is setting the mark by allways keeping their drivers up to date for linux and windows | 02:27 |

roter1337 | because anything below 10.04 is not supported | 02:36 |
Luminary | i dont know about all that, but im still stuck in 2004 | 02:36 |
bekks | Luminary: You ages too late. You can update to 5.04, then 5.10 ... | 02:36 |
Luminary | bekks, dist upgrade doesnt work though | 02:36 |
bekks | And since nothing else less 10.04 is supported anymore, you have to reinstall. | 02:36 |
bekks | No chance to update. | 02:36 |
Luminary | omg | 02:36 |
Luminary | rly | 02:36 |
roter1337 | yup | 02:36 |

psingh | Luminary, if you're concerned about your data, you can install from the iso and keep your files and data. Going from 4.10 will mean your application settings/preferences will be useless in 11.10, any way. | 02:37 |

dageriv | when I run tar -czf, it creates a tar with /home/user/Documents/files, so when I extract I get all those folders. how can I "just" tar the "files" folder? | 02:45 |

dageriv | reisio: i want to extract everything, but i dont want all those folders when i extract, i only want the "files" folder | 02:47 |
reisio | h00k: this is how they get it | 02:47 |
quixotedon | hi | 02:47 |
dageriv | or rather, i dont want all those folders when i tar, i simply want to tar the "files" folder | 02:47 |
reisio | dageriv: ah | 02:47 |

reisio | h00k: I made no such statement | 02:48 |
reisio | dageriv: heh, okay | 02:48 |
dageriv | no, wait, im not clearly explaining what i want | 02:48 |

reisio | dageriv: no you are | 02:48 |
MrPocketz | SOH | 02:50 |
dageriv | reisio: when i run tar -czf files.tar.gz ~/Documents/files, the tar contains all those folders /home/user/Documents/files, but i simply want the tarbaøø to contain the folder "files" | 02:51 |

warriorforGod | I am running ubuntu 11.10 on a dell e6320 laptop. I can run unity just fine, however when I log into gnome-shell I get only a desktop and the file menu. The normal gnome-shell top bar appears for about a second and then disappears. Anybody seen this? | 02:57 |
Ibis | Hey reisio, I didn't understood you when you mentioned debootstrap. I've already installed a system to a directory. I can't chroot to it. And I do not know if I can apt-get install things to another directory and know it will work when I actually boot into that new system. | 02:57 |
Ibis | warriorforGod: Nope. Mines works fine, jsut a little bit of graphic related issues though. | 02:58 |
reisio | Ibis: should, if you do it right | 02:58 |
MrPocketz | yeah man | 02:58 |
Ibis | reisio: But I do not know if it's installing FOR my "current system" I'm running commands from. OR if it's installing FOR a system that's in /anotherDirectory. | 02:59 |
reisio | Ibis: that's what chroot is for | 03:00 |
MrPocketz | So, ATI graphics card | 03:00 |
MrPocketz | resolution is way horrible. "Display manger" says it's 1024X768, but it looks more like 800x600 | 03:00 |
fatboy21007 | Hello, can some1 assits me in installed Nvidia drivers inside Ubuntu 10.04? (and no their not in the additional drivers) | 03:00 |
ChrisRJersey | has anyone gotten a DisplayLink USB to DVI card working under ubuntu?? | 03:00 |
fatboy21007 | installing* | 03:00 |
Ibis | But I can't chroot, it's archetechture mixmatch, and from what I was told, theres no available 64bit version of "rescue mode" That I can use to chroot FROM. | 03:00 |
ChrisRJersey | i have an EVGA UV-16 Plus+ and all I get is a green screen | 03:01 |
preecher | ordering a new laptop tomorrow between radeon 6570m and nvidia gt555m would there be a better of the two for ubuntu/linux | 03:01 |
Ibis | I would simply ask someone to mount their 64bit to my remote server and chroot it, but I can't trust anyone. | 03:01 |
dageriv | look at this tarball: http://folk.ntnu.no/dageriv/s.png why is home/dlinku there? i only want to tar the scripts folder | 03:02 |
bekks | Ibis: Since you have an architecture mismatch, you cannot do what you want. | 03:02 |
reisio | Ibis: you could do it from a VM | 03:02 |
fatboy21007 | ive tried every command and even did the killin x server way, nothin i do allows me to install the nvidia drivers i downloaded, Can some1 assist me in manually installing them? | 03:02 |
reisio | Ibis: but other ways would be simpler | 03:02 |
reisio | like doing it from a liveOS | 03:02 |
aeon-ltd | preecher: nvidia, for now. the gpu performance is greater than amd cards at the moment; though really either would be fine then just use windows for graphic heavy applications (games, heavy image editing, rendering) | 03:03 |
Ibis | Problem is, in my current situation, I can't do that. :( | 03:03 |
dageriv | reisio: -C is not what im looking for. i want tar -czf lal.tar.gz files to NOT include the whole folder hierarchy | 03:03 |
preecher | aeon-ltd, thank you | 03:03 |
dageriv | only files directory | 03:03 |
fatboy21007 | i need my driver installed, the system is not picking up the settings, and isnt allowing me to update to current, i have the driverm i just need to know wat im doin wrong, as everytime i try to install from root, it tells me it doesnt exist | 03:04 |
Ibis | So I was hoping for some magic hack for "installing FOR another filesystem". | 03:04 |
reisio | dageriv: well then you need a shell script and an alias, have fun | 03:04 |
reisio | tar simply does not work that way | 03:04 |
reisio | dageriv: perhaps you could use 7z instead, it supports the same formats, AIUI | 03:04 |
aeon-ltd | preecher: if you have time i'd google around for relevant problems with those cards compatibility with linux, some may have outstanding bugs that are unresolved | 03:04 |
fatboy21007 | googles not my friend today, all the tricks i seen has not worked >< | 03:05 |
preecher | aeon-ltd, doing now thks | 03:05 |
fatboy21007 | Can anyone, please help me manually install my nvidia drivers on ubuntu 10.04? | 03:08 |
reisio | fatboy21007: should be explained here somewhere: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia | 03:08 |

reisio | ah, learning by random blog post | 03:10 |
reisio | I wonder if it will be the doom of this century | 03:10 |
SrPx | are there any text editors in ubuntu with level folding like notepad++? | 03:12 |
reisio | SrPx: heh | 03:12 |
reisio | SrPx: yes, try geany | 03:13 |
Luminary | LOL adding debian 5 sources to ubuntu 4.10 worked | 03:15 |
SrPx | reisio: he has syntax lightning for the common languages and level folding just like notepad++ where you can collapse/expand by level with hotkeys | 03:16 |
reisio | lol | 03:16 |
dageriv | reisio: but i have seen other tarballs which does not contain the home folder neither the user folder. they simply contain the folder which was tarballed. how can i do this? each time i tar something, my /home and my user folder, and all other directories leading to the folder i want to tar | 03:16 |
reisio | SrPx: probably | 03:16 |
reisio | SrPx: notepad++ isn't exactly amazing, except compared to notepad | 03:16 |
reisio | dageriv: I already told you | 03:17 |
reisio | in fact I gave you two different solutions | 03:17 |
reisio | actually I gave you at least two and a half | 03:17 |
somsip | dageriv: http://www.unix.com/unix-dummies-questions-answers/15182-extract-tar-files-without-creating-directory.html | 03:17 |
SrPx | reisio: I just need that feature to work. its beautiful to have every function definition aligned with 1 click. | 03:17 |
reisio | SrPx: my guess is it's something you can manage with geany, but I don't personally use that program enough to tell you for sure | 03:18 |
reisio | SrPx: #geany might know for sure, or you could just take a chance and find out on your own | 03:18 |
SrPx | ill try it, this really frustrated me | 03:18 |
SrPx | and thank you reisio | 03:19 |
reisio | SrPx: if not there are tons of other GUI text editors that do code folding | 03:19 |
Acoustyk | Haven't used Ubuntu since Karmic. Things have really changed. | 03:19 |
SrPx | unfortunatelly i found none that has level folding by hotkeys | 03:19 |
reisio | Acoustyk: that is what she articulated | 03:19 |
bekks | SrPx: even vim does that. | 03:19 |
reisio | SrPx: which did you check? | 03:19 |
reisio | what do you mean 'even vim'? :p | 03:20 |
reisio | Vim is arguably the most advanced text editor known | 03:20 |
bekks | vim does code folding | 03:20 |
reisio | of course it does, Vim does everything | 03:20 |
dageriv | reisio: are you sure you understand what i am trying to do? it seems to me, that you think, that i want to extract parts of a tarball. i only want to create a tarball containg onlt the folder which i tarballed, not a tarball containg home/user/folder_to_be_tarballed | 03:20 |
dr_willis | vim cured my dogs mange. | 03:20 |
reisio | dageriv: that was somsip not me | 03:20 |
reisio | dageriv: I already told you how to get what you want, in various ways | 03:21 |
reisio | Vim did my laundry and baked me a pie | 03:21 |
* babble does laundry in emacs. | 03:21 | |
dr_willis | reisio: but the cake is a lie. | 03:22 |

SrPx | i mean folding enables me to visualize every function of a class one per line. i cant figure out how to live without it. is there a replacement for that? | 03:26 |
osubuck_ | so hows the reception to unity been these days? haven't tried it since 11.04 | 03:27 |
bekks | SrPx: Using vim, I'll just type esc : /foo enter | 03:27 |
reisio | SrPx: folding doesn't help you find something unless you're using a mouse to find it | 03:27 |
reisio | SrPx: which is the slow way | 03:27 |
Majere_Draven | Best thing about unity? You can use it till Gnome shell is done downloading | 03:27 |

Toph2 | i still can't get my sound functioning after upgrading to 11.10.. Any ideas? | 03:28 |
osubuck_ | hmm, guess i'll install virtualbox and put it in VM and test it myself | 03:28 |
reisio | randomusr: easy way to find out | 03:28 |
Majere_Draven | i used to know all the tricks back in the dapperdrake thing, but not anymore, sorry Toph2 | 03:28 |
randomusr | right | 03:28 |
reisio | osubuck_: might not get the hardware acceleration in a VM | 03:28 |
SrPx | reisio: not exactly finding but visualizing. you can have an overview of the entire source. at any moment you can see every namespace 1 per line. then every object of a namespace. when every function of any given object. but ok nvm :/ | 03:30 |
Majere_Draven | Still unable to get progress quest working | 03:30 |
osubuck_ | just curious to try it, ubuntu has still seemed to keep its popularity, whether it be marketing or just a good product | 03:30 |

osubuck_ | hmm well maybe i'll boot the live cd then | 03:32 |
reisio | SrPx: you sound like a Python guy | 03:32 |
SrPx | why | 03:32 |
osubuck_ | just wondering if it would be worth it to install on here, upgrading every 6 months and all | 03:33 |

The software I'm using is fairly simple, I can list files/directories to include and exclude and it will back them up for me (those details aren't important). My question is... what is what should I be backing up and what should I omit? My first run through, the backup got hung up with /proc, so I ecluded /proc and /tmp Next time it had problems... | 03:44 |
nplus | ...with /dev | 03:44 |

reisio | nplus: it's virtual, it doesn't really exist | 03:47 |

Majere_Draven | thats unity seidell | 03:55 |

iam8up | zykotick9, what do you mean? | 04:06 |
zykotick9 | iam8up, desktop and the server version are basically the same, just install services onto the desktop version. | 04:07 |
alazare619 | im looking for a program that will make a usb install of windows seven that will work under linux via wine or something similar | 04:08 |
zykotick9 | iam8up, check out "sudo tasksel" to get some general server type options | 04:08 |

iam8up | didn't realize the server distro was on a totally different set of mirrors as the desktop os...been a while since i've touched ubuntu | 04:10 |
quixotedon | ubottu: thanks a bunch!!! | 04:10 |
ubottu | quixotedon: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 04:10 |
zykotick9 | quixotedon, FYI fstab is a file, not an application | 04:11 |
Majere_Draven | Ubottu: You rock! | 04:11 |
iam8up | is there any command line in the GUI or do i have to switch with ctrl/alt/fX? | 04:11 |
quixotedon | aarh?? so what do we do to activate it?? just like startup boot file on windows?? | 04:12 |
zykotick9 | !terminal | iam8up | 04:12 |
ubottu | iam8up: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 04:12 |
Majere_Draven | theres no fx button | 04:12 |
rabbi1 | #gnome is in which node? | 04:12 |
iam8up | where the hell is applications? | 04:12 |
iam8up | i just installed the latest ubuntu, no idea if this is gnome or kde..or something else | 04:13 |
evil_server | if ur on kde try under the main menu icon. | 04:13 |
zykotick9 | iam8up, guess the direction haven't been updated for Unity | 04:13 |
iam8up | got it, click "dash home" | 04:13 |

dalton2345 | is it safe to do an upgrade 11.04> 11.10 | 04:14 |
=== tum is now known as Guest98230 | ||
quixotedon | daiton2345: anything to do with upgrade is safe | 04:14 |
zykotick9 | quixotedon, lol | 04:14 |
dalton2345 | quixotedon, are you being sarcastic? | 04:15 |
zykotick9 | dalton2345, it is a safe as it will ever be | 04:16 |
somsip | dalton2345: a recent GoUbuntu poll put safe upgrades at about 90%. Doesn't mean you won't be one of the 10% who has prblems... | 04:16 |
dalton2345 | ok thank you...i remember people were warning me over doing updates | 04:16 |
dalton2345 | they were advising me to do fresh install | 04:16 |
quixotedon | dalton: i mean, everything i do is just upgrade when necessary, every time the update manager pops up, i'll immediately update without unchecking any update listed.. this is what i've been doing :) | 04:17 |
dalton2345 | ok great | 04:17 |
dalton2345 | i just installed 11.04 a week ago | 04:17 |
dalton2345 | i dont mind upgrade it to 11.10...how long does it take? | 04:17 |
iam8up | depends on your downstream bandwidth and processing power of the machine | 04:18 |
dalton2345 | ok | 04:19 |
dalton2345 | i'll do it while i sleep ;) | 04:19 |
SeaPhor | and how many repos you've enabled, and how many 3rd party apps you've installed | 04:19 |
quixotedon | dalton: my own made upgrade problem was i turned the computer off when it was in the middle of the progress and when i turned it on again, it turned out that it was unable to log in, but then i downloaded the iso, burned it to a cd and did an upgrade through the cd and done! | 04:20 |
quixotedon | for the upgrade, most of my apps are deleted, so i have to reinstall them | 04:20 |
dalton2345 | why you turned it off? | 04:21 |
dalton2345 | it doesn't upgrade the apps??? | 04:22 |
quixotedon | dalton: just for a matter of curiousity.. :) | 04:22 |
quixotedon | the core apps are upgraded whenever possible, but 3rd apps are deleted | 04:22 |
dalton2345 | haha quixo...curiosity can hurt :) | 04:22 |
zykotick9 | !tab | 04:23 |
ubottu | You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 04:23 |
dalton2345 | 3rd apps is like vlc? | 04:23 |
quixotedon | that time i also tried wubi (ubuntu on windows) | 04:23 |
zykotick9 | dalton2345, thing in the ubuntu repo will be updated | 04:23 |
quixotedon | dalton: yeah | 04:23 |
quixotedon | ubottu: you ROCK! SHEN SEI! | 04:23 |
ubottu | quixotedon: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 04:23 |
quixotedon | :) | 04:24 |
quixotedon | ubottu: yet you repeat the same humble reply | 04:24 |
ubottu | quixotedon: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 04:24 |
dalton2345 | i'm scared of one thing | 04:24 |
quixotedon | wubi on windows takes about 5 GB on your hard disk | 04:24 |
somsip | dalton2345: it will upgrade any app that has an entry in the Oneiric repo. You may have problems with apps that do not have an Oneiric package. VLC was fine for me. It was not deleted. | 04:24 |
dalton2345 | i have a usb tuner...didn't work in lucid but actually works great in 11.04 | 04:25 |
dalton2345 | i'm scared to jump to 11.10 for that...if it stop working :o | 04:25 |
bcohen | Is it possible to download compiz fusion from one PC and install it on another? As opposed to downloading from the command line (ubuntu) | 04:26 |
quixotedon | dalton2345: prepare for a backup, but i think 11.10 works better than 11.04 | 04:26 |
ChogyDan | bcohen: what exactly are you trying to do? | 04:26 |
zykotick9 | bcohen, you could copy the DEBs from /var/cache/apt/archive or see "/msg ubottu aptoncd" | 04:26 |
dalton2345 | true quixo | 04:27 |
quixotedon | all: any ebooks available for download to learn Terminal/bash command line from the very basic?? I'm still a newbie on terminal stuff.. thanks | 04:27 |
dalton2345 | i think its time i try an upgrade lol it will save me a cd ;) | 04:28 |
somsip | quixotedon: the ubuntu manual might be a place to start | 04:28 |
quixotedon | somsip: where can i find it? | 04:28 |
bcohen | ChogyDan, my internet at home is very slow currently and I want to download all the files I need while Im at my girl's place | 04:28 |
zykotick9 | !manual | quixotedon | 04:28 |
dalton2345 | will it keep my setting? | 04:28 |
ubottu | quixotedon: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ | 04:28 |
bcohen | and then copy the files to USB and install on ubuntu on my home PC | 04:28 |
somsip | zykotick9: thanks | 04:28 |
quixotedon | hey guys, i found out 11.10 dash responses bit second latter than 11.04 | 04:29 |
quixotedon | thanks ubottu and somsip, this chat is surely next thing to hang out to learn things.. :) | 04:30 |
dalton2345 | quixo you using gnome classic? | 04:30 |
quixotedon | unity i supposed | 04:30 |
dalton2345 | i use gnome classic :) | 04:30 |
iam8up | is unity another desktop manager like gnome or kde? | 04:30 |
zykotick9 | !nounity | dalton2345 | 04:31 |
ubottu | dalton2345: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 04:31 |
dalton2345 | so the upgrade keep my setting? | 04:31 |
quixotedon | i started using ubuntu since 10.10 | 04:31 |
zykotick9 | dalton2345, consider your gnome2 settings useless | 04:31 |
flynn | Is there an Ubuntu desktop room? | 04:31 |
somsip | dalton2345: I found it forced Unity3d on me, but it was a simple case of changing the default session back again | 04:31 |
arooni-mobile | hi folks; it seems on ubuntu 11.10; the wireless icon causes the computer to temporarily lock up a bit. anyway to fix that? | 04:31 |
dalton2345 | ohhhhhhh zykotick...you got me scarred now | 04:31 |
zykotick9 | flynn, you're there ;) | 04:31 |
dalton2345 | i'll have to do some reading about that...i'll wait for the upgrade | 04:32 |
MrCartel | So I have a dir A which contains a symlink B that points back to A. When I try to rm B, it says it is a dir. When I do an ls it says its a symlink. Any idea why? | 04:32 |
zykotick9 | !tab > dalton2345 | 04:32 |
ubottu | dalton2345, please see my private message | 04:32 |
ejv | MrCartel: why not remove A | 04:32 |
dalton2345 | thanks ubottu :) | 04:32 |
flynn | zykotick9: My bad it says Ubuntu Servers" | 04:32 |
quixotedon | the problem i found was the ghost like of the menu when you click on the top right corner icons | 04:32 |
MrCartel | ejv: because it contains my data | 04:33 |
MrCartel | I just dont understand why I cant delete the symlink | 04:33 |
ejv | MrCartel: if you wanna kill just the symlink, a simple rm should suffice | 04:33 |
quixotedon | (menus are unreadable or i can say gone, but still with the transparent box right there) | 04:33 |
dalton2345 | so i have to install gnome classic in 11.10 :( | 04:33 |
flynn | Will a genuine dual boot "non-wubi" install give me less trouble? | 04:34 |
MrCartel | ejv: Right, however it claims it is a directory. What would/could cause this? | 04:34 |
ejv | MrCartel: rm B/ != rm B | 04:34 |
ejv | understand? | 04:34 |
zykotick9 | flynn, wubi is a terrible idea | 04:34 |
dalton2345 | do it with a cd flynn | 04:34 |
dalton2345 | its the best way | 04:34 |
MrCartel | ejv: arg that would be it | 04:34 |
flynn | dalton2345, I don't have a drive. | 04:35 |
quixotedon | zykotick9: are u sure?? then i gotta delete wubi on my hard disk | 04:35 |
zykotick9 | dalton2345, gnome2 is done, you can't install it - there is a gnome3 fallback that is similar to gnome2, but not the same | 04:35 |
ejv | MrCartel: and knowing is half the battle ;) | 04:35 |
zykotick9 | quixotedon, use wubi if you wish! | 04:35 |
MrCartel | ejv: thanks for help | 04:35 |
ejv | np | 04:35 |
quixotedon | dalton2345: why not give gnome3 a shot??? | 04:35 |
dalton2345 | ouch flynn | 04:35 |
test | can someone tell me what the difference between ubuntu and xubuntu is? | 04:35 |
zykotick9 | test desktop environments used: ubuntu = unity, xubuntu = xfce | 04:36 |
quixotedon | zykotick9: i just tried installing it for an addition, now i'm using ubuntu | 04:36 |
dalton2345 | i dont want all the gadget quixo...i want it simple and fast | 04:36 |
flynn | test, less 'fancy dancyness | 04:36 |
x_ | xfce is much faster than unity ;-) | 04:36 |
test | okay thanks | 04:37 |
flynn | dalton2345 is there a flash drive install | 04:38 |
dalton2345 | yes there is flynn...but i never done it | 04:38 |
=== doraemon is now known as Guest94852 | ||
zykotick9 | flynn, yes, the 11.10 is a hybrid iso/flash image to begin with - you can dd or cat it to a USB | 04:38 |
x_ | or use the startup disk creator so he doesn't kill his whole machine with dd ;-) | 04:39 |
pnorman | my ubuntu raid resync seems to be going at sync_action_min even though iostat reports no other sigificant IO activity on the box, and I"m not running anything. Any suggestions as to causes? | 04:39 |
zykotick9 | flynn, see x_'s comment above | 04:39 |
flynn | zykotick9, dd or cat? What's that? I'm such a newb. | 04:39 |
lvidal | hi | 04:40 |
pnorman | I upped _min from 1 MB/s to 10 MB/s and it increased, so it wasn't limited by drive speed. | 04:40 |
x_ | someone quick get me an lsd iv drip | 04:40 |
zykotick9 | flynn, the answer is yes - and Startup Disk Creator (as x_ recommended) is a GUI tool to create the USB | 04:40 |
flynn | OK, but I'm having trouble file sharing. Do you think it could be just a bad install? | 04:41 |
x_ | flynn, define file sharing | 04:41 |
x_ | samba or nfs? | 04:41 |
flynn | x_, samba. I can't mount shared windows folders. | 04:42 |
lvidal | ho can I get the uptime from terminal | 04:42 |
pnorman | Got it - for some reason it wasn't picking up the system-wide defaults | 04:42 |
zykotick9 | lvidal, type "uptime" | 04:42 |
pnorman | ivixor: "uptime" | 04:42 |
l1nuxman | I'm using metasploit console but I'm having trouble because when I list exploits the list is so long that I can only see the bottom last page. I don't know how to do a 'more' or some other method? | 04:42 |
lvidal | zykotick9, pnorman thanks | 04:43 |
lvidal | the top command can give me the uptime too? | 04:43 |
ultrixx | yes | 04:43 |
ultrixx | and htop is even nicer | 04:43 |
lvidal | how it is don with top? | 04:44 |
ultrixx | type top in the terminal | 04:44 |
lvidal | *done sorry | 04:44 |
x_ | flynn, got smbclient installed ? | 04:45 |
zykotick9 | lvidal, the 1st line of top should be like "top - 00:44:50 up 6 days, 3:58, 16 users, load average: 6.13, 6.22, 6.19" | 04:45 |

guddu | hi somebody tell me how to setup proxy server in ubuntu | 04:48 |
w30 | what the he......! I have 0 users in top. Don't I count? | 04:48 |
ScottE | lvidal: that's uptime | 04:48 |
zykotick9 | ScottE, actually - that's the output i get with top (not using ubuntu though) | 04:49 |
flynn | x_, I don't want to mount the shares permanently. | 04:49 |
lvidal | ScottE: hmmm. | 04:49 |
ScottE | zykotick9: but everything wanted there is available via uptime | 04:49 |
lvidal | here' the thing guys, for you to clear me some doubts I have... | 04:49 |
x_ | flynn, then can you just browse them through the file manager under network? | 04:50 |
zykotick9 | ScottE, i agree, and lvidal already knows about uptime | 04:50 |
lvidal | I have a technical support for some web servers I have... | 04:50 |

flynn | x_, Nope | 04:51 |
zykotick9 | !patience | guddu | 04:51 |

lvidal | today we had a 503 MySQL connect error and the website didn't load for some time | 04:51 |
x_ | flynn, some problem on the windows side then i'd guess. folders not shared correctly some how. | 04:51 |
sasori | how to launch the ccsm via terminal? :S | 04:51 |
zykotick9 | sasori, type "ccsm" | 04:52 |
lvidal | when I asked him about the MySQL server he told me that the server was always online and show me this "top - 20:33:57 up 13 days" line | 04:53 |
lvidal | but, | 04:53 |
flynn | x_, they share fine if I use windows. I'm trying to phase windows off my machine. | 04:53 |
lvidal | for me, that's just the linux uptime, that doesn't show me nothing about MySQL server | 04:53 |
lvidal | am I wrong? | 04:53 |
x_ | flynn, wait... are the shared folders your trying to access on a windows machine or ? | 04:54 |
zykotick9 | x_, i think you should perhaps ask "remove windows machine" ;) | 04:55 |
zykotick9 | s/remove/remote/ | 04:55 |
lvidal | MySQL it's just a software on the machine, so… I think the top uptime doesn't help a lot | 04:55 |
x_ | zykotick9, always the best option of course ;-P | 04:55 |
lvidal | am I right or this guy is kidding with me? | 04:56 |
flynn | Yeah, on this machine I can use windows or Ubuntu. But, I'm trying to share files (browse files) on another machine that just has windows on it. | 04:56 |
x_ | lvidal, yea, just cause the machine is powered on doesn;t mean mysql is running correctly. | 04:57 |
ScottE | lvidal: yes, the top uptime is useless for monitoring mysql | 04:57 |
x_ | flynn, the SERVER (shared files) are on a windows machine, or the files are on a linux machine your answer is confusing me. | 04:57 |
somsip | lvidal: in that format, top is displaying total uptime of the server. Top also shows uptime of particular process, such as "1260 mysql 20 0 236m 28m 3672 S 1 0.7 1:44.17 mysqld " | 04:58 |
lvidal | x_, ScottE: ok, just as I though. | 04:58 |

SrPx | browse* | 05:12 |
zykotick9 | SrPx, how are you opening nautilus with su exactly? are you using gksu? (it's not the greatest idea anyways, but don't use su or sudo with graphical apps!) | 05:13 |
srjang | hi | 05:14 |
zykotick9 | SrPx, users only have read/write permission to there home folder (and /tmp) by default, so elevated privileges are required for modifying files outside of /home/USERNAME - but should only RARELY be required. | 05:15 |

fubar | Yes, I am. The issue I am having is really strange it just started today after a system update. I have a LUKS encrypted LVM that no longer unlocks on boot. | 05:19 |

zykotick9 | SrPx, correct. I understood what you where doing. My question was how did you start nautilus to make it work? | 05:22 |
SrPx | sudo nautilus but you said i shouldnt do this way? | 05:23 |
fubar | The exact error message I get on boot is "No key available with this passphrase" | 05:23 |
zykotick9 | SrPx, ya, use "gksu nautilus" if you have to | 05:23 |
zykotick9 | !gksu | SrPx | 05:23 |
ubottu | SrPx: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 05:23 |
iam8up | i have this package that has all of these dependencies, including java - it keeps saying these have dependencies of their own - is there any easy arguement to install them with apt-get or do i have to specify it to install every last one? | 05:24 |
zykotick9 | iam8up, if your talking command line, and a DEB file, you might want to check out gdebi (never used it myself, but i believe it can do dependency downloading) | 05:25 |
SrPx | zykotick9: hmm okay, I'll do that, thanks. but is this the right way to do this (move things around to install a plugin?) because its kinda worky if I have to do this everytime | 05:25 |

zykotick9 | SrPx, technically "not really". Using your home folder was the "proper" way to do it actually. | 05:26 |
iam8up | zykotick9, http://pastebin.com/CfJMFFXb | 05:26 |
iam8up | see what i mean? | 05:26 |
zykotick9 | iam8up, i don't think gdebi will help. java6-runtime-headless might be an issue. | 05:27 |
zykotick9 | !info java6-runtime-headless | 05:27 |
ubottu | Package java6-runtime-headless does not exist in oneiric | 05:27 |
iam8up | i'm very unfamiliar with debian and hence its package management, i'm much more familiar with rhel | 05:27 |
iam8up | unfortunately...this airvision software only has a deb | 05:27 |
SrPx | zykotick9: but arent things usually installed outside my home folder? im still lost on how ubuntu organizes its folders. | 05:28 |
zykotick9 | SrPx, when you use a package manager (as you should), yes it will install outside home dir - and that's fine. "technically" YOU shouldn't be playing with those folders however. | 05:29 |
SrPx | for instance the lib and include folders are outside my home folder and il usually have to move files around those | 05:29 |
zykotick9 | SrPx, you really shouldn't be manually altering those folders at all | 05:30 |
iam8up | zykotick9, apt-get install -f apparantly makes it do its thing... | 05:31 |
SrPx | how not . i should install my libs there souldnt I? also xampp and thus apache were installed outside my home folder. all my web work go under there in a folder called htdocs. | 05:32 |
zykotick9 | iam8up, good call! | 05:32 |
zykotick9 | !xampp | SrPx | 05:32 |
ubottu | SrPx: We do not support XAMPP installs here. Please use the LAMP stack that is in our repositories; see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP for more information. | 05:32 |
zykotick9 | SrPx, you should try to stick to using software from ubuntu repos | 05:33 |
SrPx | wasnt aware of lamp, okay | 05:33 |
SrPx | by the way is its 'htdocs' folder installed on my home folder? | 05:33 |
zykotick9 | SrPx, nope | 05:33 |
SrPx | ... | 05:34 |
SrPx | so how i am supposed to work on it if i cant move files there | 05:34 |
SrPx | :/ | 05:34 |
zykotick9 | SrPx, there are obviously 1000+ exceptions to the rule ;) | 05:34 |
zykotick9 | SrPx, but for libraries it's not a good idea | 05:35 |
grateful | is there a program similar maybe to EasyTAG that automatically fetches album art? | 05:35 |
SrPx | okay seriously isnt there just a way to login as su? i wont really mess things up and if I do its okay as my work is backupped... | 05:36 |
zykotick9 | SrPx, that's FAR more likely to mess things up | 05:36 |
zykotick9 | !noroot | SrPx | 05:36 |
ubottu | SrPx: We do not support setting a root password. You're free to do it on your own machine, but please don't offer instructions on how to set a root password or ask for help with setting it. See !root and !wfm for more information. | 05:36 |
SrPx | !root | 05:37 |
ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 05:37 |
zykotick9 | SrPx, fyi you can use "/msg ubottu FACTOIDNAME" to get messages privately from ubottu. She's very helpful ;) | 05:37 |
SrPx | wops sry. | 05:38 |
pnorman | zykotick9: How was ubottu's gender determined? | 05:38 |
zykotick9 | SrPx, no need to be sorry ;) | 05:38 |
zykotick9 | !gender | 05:38 |
ubottu | yes, I can confirm I am a female bot :) | 05:38 |
grateful | is there a program similar maybe to EasyTAG that automatically fetches album art? | 05:38 |

Operaist2 | blender | 05:41 |
Operaist2 | heroes of newerth | 05:41 |
Operaist2 | wine | 05:41 |
quixotedon | have you reinstall them? | 05:42 |
Operaist2 | blender doesnt have install | 05:42 |
zykotick9 | grateful, try waiting 15-30 minutes before repeating questions. I'm unaware of one BTW, but i love EasyTag (album art downloads would be a nice feature). | 05:42 |
quixotedon | Operaattori: indeed you should reinstall it through ubuntu software centre | 05:43 |
zykotick9 | Operaist2, are you sure your 3D is still working? | 05:43 |
iam8up | so what is ubuntu orchestra? | 05:43 |
Operaist2 | zykotick9: im not sure, | 05:44 |
Operaist2 | zykotick9: how do i check? | 05:45 |
zykotick9 | Operaist2, does "glxinfo | grep direct" report YES? | 05:45 |

zykotick9 | Operaist2, open nvidia-settings what driver does it report using? (i'm just interested if it's nvidia or not) | 05:46 |

KnownSQASHED | Hey guys - I'm having trouble enabling usb support for virtualbox. Should I move to the vbox channel, or can someone here help me? | 05:47 |
Operaist2 | zykotick9: command not found... | 05:47 |
Madpilot | grateful, muine is a very, very simple little album player. It's great, none of the clutter Rhythmbox and others have. It just plays music. | 05:47 |
zykotick9 | Operaist2, install the nvidia driver then | 05:47 |
Operaist2 | zykotick9: how? i cant find the additional driver program any more | 05:48 |
zykotick9 | Madpilot, to bad it's mono infected ;) | 05:48 |
zykotick9 | Operaist2, you'd have to ask someone using 11.10 then. sorry i don't know. | 05:48 |
somsip | grateful: I like deadbeef which apparently supports album art though I don't use it myself. | 05:48 |
grateful | deadbeef never heard of it | 05:49 |
Madpilot | zykotick9, meh. I'll pick other fights, that's one that has never bothered me. | 05:49 |
zykotick9 | KnownSQASHED, are you using vbox from ubuntu repo? | 05:49 |
zykotick9 | KnownSQASHED, oh ignore my question (if you're using 11.10) | 05:50 |
SrPx | okay, the plugin didnt work because my version of gedit was too old | 05:50 |
SrPx | trying to install gedit 3.2. have to build. got error libxml2.0, glib2.0, gthread2.0 and 6 others not found. solution is to install each one? | 05:51 |

=== khyati is now known as Khyati | ||
KnownSQASHED | I am running 11.10. | 05:52 |
Majere_Draven | I was thinking floodbot was something else at first | 05:52 |
zykotick9 | KnownSQASHED, then VBox from the repo will support USB (the old VBox-OSE didn't, thus my question). If no one else answers, you could ask in #vbox | 05:53 |
Madpilot | it's not *actually* a bot that floods. it just acts that way sometimes. :) | 05:53 |
Operaist2 | how do i install nvidia driver with 11.10?? | 05:53 |
KnownSQASHED | Okay. I've asked in vbox as well, and the entire channel is pretty much silent. I believe my issue my be usergroup related. | 05:54 |

KnownSQASHED | I'm not sure if my account is even in the vboxusergroup. I ran "getent group vboxusers" and it returned "vboxusers:x:125:". The example online had a username following the rest of that. | 05:55 |
zykotick9 | KnownSQASHED, as your user type "groups". and you're right, vboxusers group doesn't currently have any members. | 05:56 |
KnownSQASHED | Could that be my issue? | 05:57 |
zykotick9 | KnownSQASHED, i'm not sure if that is your issue or not however | 05:57 |
KnownSQASHED | Okay. I'll do a little more research. Last time I tried to figure this out, I seem to remember that it was necessary to be in that group in order to get usb input. I'll see if I can find a reference to it online somewhere. | 05:57 |

KamikazeAndy | Im trying to install Enlightenment E17 on 11.11, and apt-get returns that there are unmet dependencies and "E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages." | 05:58 |
SrPx | even after installing libxml-2.0 the ./configure command of gedit tells me libxml2.0 is missing. please help. :/ | 05:59 |
zykotick9 | KamikazeAndy, broken packages... you could try running "sudo apt-get -f install" to fix those - or provide pastebin of what's failing. Sorry, I've never personally used E17 so can't help there. | 05:59 |
Planetic | Hey all! I've got a problem with apt-get. While trying doing anything with apt-get I constantly have the same error. I can't google any sollution. Details are here: ~$ sudo apt-get remove mc | 06:00 |

KnownSQASHED | This article seems to indicate that it's necessary to be in that usergroup, however I don't think it tells how to join it within 11.10. Any thoughts?https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox/USB | 06:00 |
SrPx | zykotick9: you dont know the answer for that do you :/ | 06:00 |
zykotick9 | SrPx, you might need the -dev version? | 06:00 |
Planetic | I am sorry details are here: http://www.friendpaste.com/4ZvYLixMPPLXfNq6o7gn4W | 06:01 |
KamikazeAndy | Zykotick9, I'll try apt-get -f. If that doesn't work, I'll use pastebin | 06:01 |
SrPx | got both libxml2 and libxml2-dev | 06:01 |
zykotick9 | SrPx, sorry, no idea then. | 06:01 |
SrPx | perhaps its being installed in a folder gedit isnt aware of? | 06:01 |
zykotick9 | SrPx, what verion of gedit are you trying to install BTW? | 06:01 |
SrPx | 3.2 the latest | 06:02 |

KnownSQASHED | Is my username case sensitive? | 06:09 |
KamikazeAndy | Zykotick9, what do you mean? | 06:09 |
zykotick9 | KnownSQASHED, FYI you need to log out/in for group changes to take effect. | 06:09 |
zykotick9 | KnownSQASHED, i don't think usernames can have upper case can they? If your user does, then yes assume case sensitive. | 06:10 |
zykotick9 | KamikazeAndy, did you add some e17 repo to your system? | 06:10 |

zykotick9 | pnorman, humm, i have both a syslog and a messages? (not ubuntu though) | 06:18 |

ActionParsnip | !notunity | stephni | 06:32 |
ubottu | stephni: 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 | 06:32 |

digitaldrown | hmm | 06:52 |
digitaldrown | does it save files tho | 06:52 |
ActionParsnip | dalton2345: using a light DE in the virtual system like LXDE will free up more resources | 06:52 |

dalton2345 | iyes digital but you got only 1gb | 06:54 |
digitaldrown | i know | 06:55 |
dalton2345 | ubuntu hardly run on a 1gb...so on virtualbox | 06:55 |
dalton2345 | use a light linux | 06:55 |
dalton2345 | i'm just saying ;) | 06:55 |
zykotick9 | Raac, are apples better then oranges? | 06:55 |
Raac | yes | 06:55 |
zykotick9 | Raac, some might disagree ;) | 06:56 |
dalton2345 | raac....its 20x better :) | 06:56 |
Raac | haha :) | 06:56 |
ActionParsnip | Raac: it depends on situation entirely | 06:56 |
Raac | I was joking.. but my point was that.. it is simply the customization | 06:56 |
Raac | linux lets users customize more widely and windows doesn't. | 06:57 |
dalton2345 | linux is so much faster | 06:57 |
Raac | that is my take | 06:57 |

dalton2345 | i really appreciate it | 06:57 |

digitaldrown | i'll be back in BSD later | 07:05 |
dirkle | I can't find any good documents through google that fit this | 07:05 |
phlak_user | dirkle, use bridge-utils ; commands like brctl help you control on the fly | 07:05 |
phlak_user | !info bridge-utils | dirkle | 07:05 |
chaospsychex | digitaldrown: why was it so awesome | 07:05 |
ubottu | dirkle: bridge-utils (source: bridge-utils): Utilities for configuring the Linux Ethernet bridge. In component main, is optional. Version 1.5-2ubuntu1 (oneiric), package size 30 kB, installed size 204 kB | 07:05 |
dirkle | phlak_user, thanks, I'll take a look into that | 07:06 |
ActionParsnip | dirkle: if its in virtualbox, you can set the interface to be bridged in the config | 07:06 |
dirkle | well, we tried just setting up the bridge, but it borked the network card such that we could no longer send or receive anything through the card | 07:07 |
Operaist2 | how do i check my nvidia driver version with 11.10? | 07:07 |
dirkle | so we haven't gotten to setting the interface in virt-manager | 07:07 |
zykotick9 | Operaist2, open nvidia-settings is one method | 07:07 |
harsh343 | I am not able to copy or create an file in www directory in ubantu ???? | 07:07 |
Operaist2 | zykotick9: there is no such thing as nvidia-settings for me | 07:08 |
phlak_user | harsh343, use sudo | 07:08 |
harsh343 | phlak_user, hows ? | 07:08 |
zykotick9 | Operaist2, then my guess is you don't have the proprietary nvidia driver installed (unless it's become a separate package) | 07:08 |
ActionParsnip | Operaist2: nvidia-settings tells you on the first screen | 07:09 |

chaospsychex | hard343: from the terminal as root, you can use 'sudo gedit <foo.file>' | 07:12 |
dr_willis | i never need to do it. but i see that www questiin asked a lot | 07:12 |
stephni | an app i want to run as root after adding gksu it won't save what should i do | 07:12 |

zykotick9 | !gksudo | chaospsychex | 07:12 |
ubottu | chaospsychex: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 07:12 |
chaospsychex | ahhh | 07:12 |
pnorman | I was too slow to say that | 07:12 |

ndairou | hi all | 07:55 |
chaospsychex | then resize the extended partition | 07:55 |
Sterist | chaospsychex so that i can format sda4 and have it consolidated with that space in question | 07:55 |
chaospsychex | yeah | 07:56 |
ndairou | i need a help | 07:56 |
chaospsychex | can u even resize a extended partition that has logical containers in it? | 07:56 |
chaospsychex | i've never done it | 07:56 |
zykotick9 | chaospsychex, i believe it's the logical inside the extended that needs resizing. Sterist | 07:56 |
chaospsychex | no | 07:56 |
chaospsychex | he wants sda4 to have that space to use | 07:56 |
phlak_user | WeberEInc, have you done this -> sudo apt-get install libimobiledevice-utils;idevicepair unpair && idevicepair pair | 07:56 |
Sterist | chaosphsychex zykotick9 well technically unallocated isnt logical or primary lol | 07:56 |
chaospsychex | and you would have to resize the extended to do that | 07:56 |
Sterist | chaosphsychex zykotick9 correct me if im wrong | 07:57 |
ActionParsnip | ndairou: ask away | 07:57 |
phlak_user | suse_newbee, and how are you connecting to the mobile broadband? | 07:57 |
chaospsychex | resizing the partitions INSIDE the extended does not change the size of the extended partition | 07:57 |
zykotick9 | Sterist, sda3 is the extended - and both unallocated bits are inside that | 07:57 |

zykotick9 | Sterist, i don't think that makes sense, just increase the logical inside to take up the entire extended (unless you're after something else?) | 08:01 |
ActionParsnip | pipalo: those are arrnged by how you order the apps on the unity launcher | 08:01 |
harsh343 | phlak_user, can u plz give me the command for this | 08:01 |
chaospsychex | zykotick9: he is after something else, he wants sda4 to have that little gray block to the left of sda5 | 08:01 |
pipalo | ActionParnsip: The menu where you can see the open programs, not Dash home | 08:01 |
Sterist | zykotick9, what he said lol | 08:02 |
chaospsychex | and to do that he has to resize sda3 | 08:02 |
Sterist | bingo! | 08:02 |
pipalo | ActionParsnip: How can I edit a shortcut ? | 08:02 |
pipalo | like to change the link in it. | 08:02 |
phlak_user | harsh343, its simple; if you backed up your files to say /media/backup; you run this command sudo cp /media/backup /var/www | 08:02 |
ActionParsnip | pipalo: the only way I personally know is to edit the .desktop file /usr/share/applications | 08:02 |
chaospsychex | even though that space is unallocated it is only avilable to sda3 | 08:03 |
chaospsychex | because it is INSIDE sda3 | 08:03 |
zykotick9 | harsh343, there is no undelete from "rm" | 08:03 |
pipalo | ActionParnsip: CHeers I will give it a try | 08:03 |
WeberEInc | phlak_user, I tried re-installing all of the libmobiledevice pkgs and libipod - anything else you can think of? | 08:03 |

Right now it contains address=/dev/127.0.0.1 , can I just add a similar line for the 192.168.* address? Extra: My 192.168.* changes as I'm connected to different wireless networks, can I use ranges somehow? | 08:41 |

dspstv | hi all, i upgraded to 11.10 but the theme seems to inherit settings i had from before, it makes my menus unreadable | 08:55 |
taraduffy | dr-willis: can you help? | 08:55 |
dspstv | sorush20: are you new to irc? | 08:55 |
Kartagis | ikonia: so? do I need my syslog when I first book my PC? | 08:55 |
Kartagis | boot* | 08:56 |
sorush20 | dspstv: no just a little impatient today | 08:56 |
dr_willis | taraduffy: with what? | 08:56 |
ikonia | Kartagis: no, I'd look (use ifconfig) to see if the eth0 device has an IP | 08:56 |
* dr_willis is on his break also.. so nit a lot if time | 08:57 | |
taraduffy | dr_willis: sorry, I thought you were answering me: "hi, anyone know how to run siggen in after install?" | 08:57 |
dspstv | is anyone aware of a way to customize the appereance under 11.10? the themes seem to keep that old background color i had for the menus.. i cant read anything | 08:57 |
dr_willis | taraduffy: not all apps have menus.. so have you explored siggins docs and clu commands? | 08:57 |
dspstv | i dont see a way to cstomize that under unity | 08:57 |
dspstv | the user evva is sending private messages with sex spam | 08:58 |

taraduffy | dr_willis: OK, looking thanks. | 09:00 |
dr_willis | all i did was loik for its docs ;) | 09:00 |
dspstv | really sucks this user interface | 09:02 |
dr_willis | got unity working fine here. | 09:03 |
dr_willis | been playing with gnome shell also | 09:04 |
dspstv | dr_willis: this is the second machine where it makes the user completely lost | 09:04 |
dspstv | i cant read the name of the dirs in the desktop | 09:04 |
systemparadox | how do I set a static IP address in 11.04? I've set it in /etc/network/interfaces, which works when I manually do ifup eth0, but on boot eth0 isn't even up | 09:05 |
dspstv | the font color is to close to the desktop background | 09:05 |
dspstv | but theres no way to choose font color | 09:05 |
dspstv | before it was | 09:05 |
dr_willis | dspstv: havent noticed. using dfferent bg ane themes here nit the defaults. | 09:06 |
dspstv | i dont understand why it inherits from before this settings if one cant tweak them anymore | 09:06 |
dr_willis | gnome tweak has some settings also. | 09:06 |
dspstv | in the Appereance panel one cant do customize | 09:06 |
ActionParsnip | dspstv: then use a different UI. Gnome isn't the only desktop | 09:06 |
dspstv | ActionParsnip: of course, i will go back to awesome | 09:07 |
dspstv | but this is just none-sense | 09:07 |
ActionParsnip | dspstv: problem solved | 09:07 |
dr_willis | settings and thems have bwen revamped in gnome3 | 09:07 |
dspstv | revamped or impaired | 09:07 |
ActionParsnip | dspstv: I've been using LXDE for the last 4 releases, no issues here | 09:07 |
sam595 | Hello all. | 09:07 |
dr_willis | howdys | 09:08 |
dspstv | ActionParsnip: is not about the issues with LXDE, is about removing thinsgand making it difficult for the user | 09:08 |
dspstv | but, i guess you arealso just a user | 09:08 |
sam595 | I have a question. I am installing Ubuntu for the first time now but I think it's hanging. I'm at the point that it says "doelsysteem install" (set target disk) and I see no progress | 09:08 |

systemparadox | ifup -a doesn't start eth0 either, but ifup eth0 does | 09:12 |
ActionParsnip | sam595: until we know the ISO is good we cannot really move on. Get it tested and see what you get | 09:12 |
systemparadox | oh found it. Yey for man pages (ifup) - I forgot to add the auto keyword | 09:12 |
sam595 | ok ActionParsnip Is it safe to just get out the install now? How do I cancel or do I just push the on/off button for a few seconds? | 09:13 |
ActionParsnip | sam595: did the installation start? | 09:14 |
sam595 | yes | 09:14 |
ActionParsnip | sam595: ah, let me search | 09:14 |
sam595 | I got quite far I think. But now it hangs on "doelsysteem instellen" | 09:14 |
sam595 | ActionParsnip: sure. great | 09:14 |
systemparadox | on boot, the KDE wallet and the gnome keyring both ask for my password at the same time- they both try and grab the keyboard and this causes things to get stuck. How can I fix this? | 09:15 |
ActionParsnip | sam595: did you partition the disk and setup a user? | 09:15 |
sam595 | ActionParsnip: yes | 09:15 |
ActionParsnip | sam595: is this to be a dual boot? | 09:15 |

sam595 | ActionParsnip: no it's on a usb I made from the ubuntu website | 09:16 |
Slartibart | Is it possible to use environment variables in config files? Like, export computer's current 192.168.* ip address to a variable, and then use it in a dnsmasq.d config file that dnsmasq loads when it starts? | 09:16 |
ActionParsnip | sam595: yes but did you keep the ISO you downloaded from the site? | 09:16 |
sam595 | ActionParsnip: I think it should be in downloads in Windows still yes | 09:16 |
ActionParsnip | sam595: cool, then you can md5 test that. Ubuntu can access NTFS partitions | 09:17 |

ActionParsnip | dani288: run: gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and add the line: options snd-hda-intel position-fix=1 reboot to test. If that is no good, change it to: options snd-hda-intel model=laptop | 09:40 |

ActionParsnip | dani288: if that is no good, try: options snd-hda-intel position-fix=1 model=laptop | 09:40 |
Klojum | dani288: that could also be a mechanical problem, the socket should disconnect the internal speakers via the headphone plug. If that doesn't work, the socket may be faulty, not the software..? | 09:40 |

phlak_user | vyciook, cant you use network manager if you're new to Ubuntu? | 10:15 |

sarthor | phlak_user: OK. | 10:19 |
karaguellek | vyciook: there is no detected card | 10:19 |
phlak_user | vyciook, that isnt a logical way of reasoning. you need to find out the reason for wifi not to work and im sure it is not due to your key combination. that is only to turn on+off the wifi interface. | 10:20 |
phlak_user | vyciook, can you pastebin the output of sudo lshw -C network | 10:20 |

Ycarene | Is there a way to set the kernel so that after an amount of total time used the kernel shuts down or halts? | 10:38 |
phlak_user | Ycarene, by that do you mean the PC itself? | 10:38 |
stimpie | Ycarene, man shutdown | 10:38 |
Ycarene | phlak_user - Yes | 10:38 |
phlak_user | Ycarene, you can pass a time to the shutdown command like stimpie pointed out | 10:39 |
Ycarene | phlak_user - so that, after say, two weeks of use the kernel will shut down or halt the system and subsequent reboots halt or shut down. | 10:39 |
phlak_user | Ycarene, you mean it should never start again after 2 weeks? | 10:40 |
Ycarene | phlak_user - right | 10:40 |
phlak_user | Ycarene, why? | 10:40 |
tyska | guys, how i do a umount in the root partition??? | 10:40 |
histo | vyciook: cool you should be good to go then | 10:40 |
Ycarene | phlak_user - can it be done within the kernel without using a helper application? | 10:40 |
Ycarene | tyska - you don't | 10:41 |
histo | vyciook: man rfkill if you want to learn about it. I found it doing a google search for your problem and wireless chipset. | 10:41 |
vyciook | ok thank you ;) | 10:41 |
histo | tyska: are you trying to remount it? | 10:41 |
private_meta | so, when using fdisk and using "l" to list the known file systems supported by fdisk, how can I show some sort of long name of these support file system names? | 10:41 |
phlak_user | Ycarene, not sure i understand; | 10:41 |
tyska | =( i need to recover my files that was deleted in the root partition | 10:41 |

Ycarene | phlak_user - suppose I want to make a distribution that expires after a certain amount of time. | 10:42 |
histo | tyska: hard poweroff the machine and boot a live cd | 10:42 |
tyska | histo: great, i will do this | 10:42 |
histo | tyska: I would just pull the plug to prevent the files from being over written | 10:42 |
stimpie | Ycarene, then you should modify the kernel | 10:42 |

histo | vyciook: I don't know you'll have to try and see. If so you can write a script that will execute it for you on boot. | 10:44 |
phlak_user | Ycarene, hmm; you could issue a timed format or some such command that destroys the OS ; I dont think its in the scope of this channel | 10:44 |

kornez | anybody knows which controls availiable there? | 12:21 |
jasonpft | is unity the same as compiz? | 12:21 |
Myrtti | jasonpft: no | 12:21 |
crizzy | jasonpft: unity is a compiz plugin | 12:21 |
jasonpft | does it require compiz? | 12:21 |
jasonpft | ah | 12:21 |
jasonpft | so removing compiz won't help | 12:21 |
iceroot | crizzy: even for gnome3? | 12:21 |
crizzy | iceroot: yes | 12:22 |
jasonpft | I want to get back to my standard ubuntu unity desktop | 12:22 |
iceroot | crizzy: i thought its just compiz on gnome2 | 12:22 |
jasonpft | as I bought the pc | 12:22 |
jasonpft | can u help? | 12:22 |
kornez | iceroot - well, i'm using one..... it's actually from that link: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java | 12:22 |
scarleo | Also, to what should I target my bug report? | 12:22 |
crizzy | gnome2/3 doesn't have anything to do with compiz, really | 12:22 |
crizzy | compiz is a window/composite manager | 12:22 |
kornez | i've added a repo location sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner" | 12:22 |
iceroot | kornez: hm, normally that is not allowed, dont know why it is still in the repos for lucid | 12:22 |
jasonpft | ok so how do I get back to default unity desktop? | 12:23 |
iceroot | !info sun-java6-jdk lucid | 12:23 |

jasonpft | well I managed to install compiz and then uninstall it | 12:25 |
jasonpft | should I just purge compiz and unity and install unity? | 12:26 |
jasonpft | :P | 12:26 |
jasonpft | to start over? | 12:26 |
kornez | tabs work | 12:26 |
kornez | )) | 12:26 |
crizzy | jasonpft: you probably managed to remove 'ubuntu-desktop' package too, so install that back, it should install all the required stuff back | 12:26 |
jasonpft | crizzy: ubuntu-desktop will over write whatever I have on there now? | 12:26 |
jasonpft | and also use unity? | 12:26 |
crizzy | it will install all default packages back | 12:26 |

Guest21654 | hi. I upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 and then install gnome-shell to get back to Gnome2. But GRID plugin on CCSM doesn't work anymore. Not catching key combo Ctrl-Alt-KB9. It does capture Ctrl-Alt-rarrow to switch workspaces. What's up? | 12:32 |
harsh343 | I am using filezilla ftp but not able to download any file, error display: file transfer failed | 12:34 |
glebihan | Guest21654, 1) gnome-shell is not gnome2, 2) gnome-shell does not use compiz so ccsm is useless | 12:34 |
aaa_ | before upgrading to 11.10, i had 3 menus on the top of the screen (applications, locations, system) and a bar at the bottom that showed me what windows are open (similar to windows XP). now i have a sidebar on auto-hide instead. how can i get back (especially to the open windows bar)? | 12:34 |

=== sammy is now known as Guest31839 | ||
glebihan | Guest21654, you could install gnome-panel and gnome-fallback-session, that will give you a gnome2-like environment in which you'll be able to use compiz if you want | 12:38 |

Loptr | How to change the permissions of automount HDD on ubuntu, i tried with chmod but it doesnt work | 12:39 |
Guest21654 | glebihan: if that's the only way to get back to sane windows then I'm in. moving windows to sections of the screen was everything I needed. thanks, I try now | 12:39 |
aaa_ | <kornez>, headless usually means that the computer have no screen/keyboard/mouse attached. it should only be used on servers that you want to manage from another computer (mostly using web-interface) | 12:41 |
Guest21654 | pocata: closing lid was a problem with my mom's laptop. she had to shutdown and wait for it to shutdown before closing, otherwise it would stay and you'd have to open it again and click button (shuts down immediately) and close again. it was just that last step ubuntu got stuck on | 12:41 |
aaa_ | before upgrading to 11.10, i had 3 menus on the top of the screen (applications, locations, system) and a bar at the bottom that showed me what windows are open (similar to windows XP). now i have a sidebar on auto-hide instead. how can i get back (especially to the open windows bar)? | 12:41 |
Guest21654 | glebihan: E: Unable to locate package gnome-fallback-session | 12:42 |
glebihan | aaa_, on unity I don't think you can. The way to switch between opened windows is to use the sidebar | 12:42 |

phlak_user | qmanjr5, did you mount an iso? | 12:44 |
qmanjr5 | Yeah | 12:45 |
glebihan | aaa_, just as I said to Guest21654, you can install gnome-panel and gnome-session-fallback to get a gnome2-like environment. Otherwise you could try another desktop environment (such as kde, xfce, lxde...) | 12:45 |
Guest21654 | Gnome3 also has the same thing. Only reasonable option is Gnome2 in my opinion. Other interfaces like XFCD L... aren't mature enough. aaa_ | 12:45 |
aaa_ | thanks guys | 12:46 |
glebihan | Guest21654, keep in mind that it's not gnome2 anyway. It looks like gnome2 but it's still gnome3 and gnome-panel in gnome-session-fallback has less functionalities than in gnome2 | 12:46 |
phlak_user | qmanjr5, typically loop devices are mounted on /mnt | 12:46 |
Guest21654 | glebihan: right. ok, well it seems I already have it all in front of me. Not what I was hoping for. | 12:47 |

I've worked around THAT by copying dists and pool from a livecd - apt runs as it needs to and everything works, *sort of* but Ubiquity now crashes at the END of the install.

glebihan | dp, you can install both versions at the same time | 13:06 |
dp | glebihan: right, but the default points to 2.7 | 13:06 |
pbt | scwizard: ah ha. thats it. | 13:06 |

digitalfiz | hey guys I have a remote VM I need to resize the partitions on how can I do this? | 13:14 |
digitalfiz | I don't have access to console but I had the IT department make the drive larger in VMWare | 13:14 |
glebihan | dp, not that I know of. But replacing the symlink will do the exact same thing | 13:14 |
digitalfiz | they refuse to work on linux so I have to resize it myself | 13:14 |
dp | ok, apparently, I was wrong. gcalcli against 2.6 *or* 2.7 is broken | 13:15 |
histo | digitalfiz: you'd have to unmount the partitions and grow them somehow | 13:16 |
digitalfiz | histo, I can't do that from SSH though can I? | 13:16 |
guntbert | digitalfiz: did you employ LVM? | 13:16 |
digitalfiz | no I didn't do LVM | 13:16 |
iceroot | raptor67682: best would be md5 the file on the server, md5 the file localy, check if different then download | 13:16 |
histo | digitalfiz: hrm.... | 13:16 |
raptor67682 | I was thinking either : wget -nc or wget -N, but it seems that it does not work | 13:16 |
amisotis | What makes people use Ubuntu, I mean, why use something that's basically a ripoff of Debian sid | 13:16 |
dp | but it works under debian python | 13:16 |
iceroot | raptor67682: files can have the same size but may be different | 13:17 |
amisotis | just because some rich coon gives discs through the mail for free | 13:17 |
raptor67682 | iceroot> I have no chances to get md5 :( | 13:17 |

histo | digitalfiz: how'd you install the distro on the vm? | 13:18 |
amisotis | histo: Yes it is. It uses aptitude, it has packages that end in .deb, and it works almost exactly like debian | 13:18 |
amisotis | the only difference is that there is a different configuartion utility and that there are more packages | 13:18 |
digitalfiz | histo I built it locally and sent the vm files to my support department and they booted it | 13:19 |

cgrs | oh, i know, but how can i return to gnome2 in 11.10?? | 13:32 |
histo | !notunity | cgrs | 13:32 |
ubottu | cgrs: 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 | 13:32 |
bindi | Tricen: unless you can confirm it working in another system | 13:32 |
cgrs | ok!!! | 13:32 |

rj_ | hi | 13:34 |
Tricen | histo: randomly after some time | 13:34 |
rj_ | hw aaare pyyu? | 13:34 |
histo | Tricen: i'd first look at the vga cable and or the dvi/vga adapter as maybe being the issue first. | 13:34 |
cgrs | gnome 3 "gnome-shell" is like gnome2 ui?? | 13:34 |
bekks | cgrs: No. | 13:34 |
histo | Tricen: if it happens after say 5min of inactivity everytime then i'd look at power management maybe blanking the monitor then bringing it back etc... | 13:35 |
cgrs | oh, then its like unity 2d, right? | 13:35 |
histo | cgrs: no you wan the classic look then | 13:35 |
histo | !classic | cgrs | 13:35 |
ubottu | cgrs: 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 | 13:35 |
Tricen | histo: I'll look into that. thanks | 13:35 |
histo | cgrs: which I believe in 11.10 to enable classic mode you have to go to preferences and login manager then enable classic as the session. | 13:35 |
SrPx | bekks: i almost managed to compile the version 3.0.3, i could install every dependency using the package manager, but when i try to build i get the error *** No rule to make target `Gedit-3.0.typelib'. Do you have an idea what that could be? | 13:36 |
histo | cgrs: that will make it look like the previous version of ubuntu at the top with applications > sytem > etc... | 13:36 |
cgrs | but in my version it shows only "Unity" and "Unity 2d" | 13:36 |
cgrs | there is no classic mode :( | 13:37 |
glebihan | cgrs, gnome-shell is very different from both gnome2 and unity. The only way to get a gnome2-like interface on oneiric is to use gnome-panel+gnome-session-fallback (but it won't have as many functionalities as gnome-panel in gnome2 and is only intended as a fallback) | 13:37 |

iceroot | histo: but if possible, reinstall with amd64 instead of installing pae-kernel | 13:47 |
undefined_infini | Hello everyone! I am planning to set up a home file server. Is it ok to use core i5 processor for my server? If not what is your recommended processor. | 13:47 |
BluesKaj | albert__, do your "desktop effects" work? | 13:47 |
iceroot | undefined_infini: overkill | 13:47 |
iceroot | undefined_infini: intel atom is enough | 13:47 |
histo | iceroot: i'm not the one with the issue | 13:47 |
Gentoo64 | undefined_infini, any cpu | 13:47 |
SrPx | ikonia: yes i need gedit 3+ but on software manager the latest version is 2.3. how can i configure it properly? i ran ./configure and seemed like everything went allright | 13:47 |
chroot | lloyd, ok , i know that , with it os will search more address space | 13:47 |
iceroot | histo: sorry | 13:47 |
undefined_infini | iceroot, woah why? | 13:48 |
histo | chroot: just use 64bit instead of 32bit trust me | 13:48 |
Pici | SrPx: Your're probably not going to be able to get gedit 3.x in anything before 11.10, as it likely requires gnome3 things. | 13:48 |
ikonia | SrPx: did you read the compile instructions and dependencies | 13:48 |
histo | chroot: there is absolutely no reason to use 32bit server | 13:48 |
iceroot | undefined_infini: because a file-server doesnt need a cou like i5 | 13:48 |
windparadise | hello, pls can someone tell me what does this command do ? getent passwd. any use >= UID 1000 | 13:48 |
Gentoo64 | undefined_infini, you wont need a powerful cpu for just getting files | 13:48 |
ikonia | SrPx: why do you "need" gedit3 | 13:48 |
iceroot | undefined_infini: wasted ressources | 13:48 |
cbfarrand | did the update to 11.10, now printer printing blank pages? | 13:48 |
lapion | In a virtualbox, I just tried to convert my home fs to btrfs, only to find out there is no tool to change the uuid of btrfs-fses | 13:48 |
ikonia | windparadise: nothing of any value | 13:48 |
=== max is now known as Guest99032 | ||
SrPx | ikonia: because source browser plugin is only compatible for 3.0.0+ | 13:48 |
chroot | histo, lloyd just remind there is pae , but i will use 64bit too. for this will be faster | 13:48 |
windparadise | ok,I want to list number of users in my account | 13:48 |
windparadise | I mean list users | 13:49 |
Gentoo64 | chroot, just use 64 bit | 13:49 |
windparadise | apart from root, | 13:49 |
scottj | best service for seeing pictures people have taken at a specific location (or range) with a better UI than google maps photos? | 13:49 |
windparadise | how do i check? | 13:49 |
undefined_infini | iceroot & Gentoo64, ah i see.. so how much RAM is recommended for my server? | 13:49 |
iceroot | scottj: #ubuntu-offtopic | 13:49 |
Gentoo64 | undefined_infini, anything | 13:49 |
iceroot | undefined_infini: depending what you want to do | 13:49 |
SrPx | ikonia: yes they just tell me to type ./configure, make and make install.. | 13:49 |
Gentoo64 | undefined_infini, for stuff like that you can use like 50mb ram if the os can boot it | 13:49 |
ikonia | SrPx: pastebin the output of ./configure | 13:50 |
Gentoo64 | most people use junk boxes for that | 13:50 |
cbfarrand | did the upgrade to 11.10, now printing blank sheets? | 13:50 |
_r00t_ | lapion: why do yo need btrfs ? | 13:50 |
lapion | does anyone know which tool can be used to change uuid of btrfs | 13:51 |
=== stefuNz_ is now known as stefuNz | ||
histo | windparadise: check your /etc/passwd file | 13:51 |
iceroot | undefined_infini: i am running a fileserver with xmbc, sabnzbplusd, lxde and i need 230mb (most is eaten by xbmc) so i guess 128mb is a very very igh value for something you want to do | 13:51 |
Gentoo64 | lapion, i wouldnt use btfs for important data btw | 13:51 |
lapion | _r00t_, it's for experimenting.. | 13:51 |
Gentoo64 | its very dodgy | 13:51 |
iceroot | undefined_infini: cpu is the first intel atom | 13:51 |
undefined_infini | Gentoo64, maybe 1gb will do.. it is hard to find 50mb nowadays | 13:51 |
* _r00t_ agrees with Gentoo64 | 13:51 | |
lapion | it's in a virtuaslbox on top of ubuntu | 13:51 |
Gentoo64 | undefined_infini, yeah.. just saying i wouldnt go spending out for it | 13:51 |
=== Mud is now known as Guest71414 | ||
cbfarrand | updated to 11.10 now printing blank sheets? | 13:52 |
histo | undefined_infini: what do you plan on doing with the server? | 13:52 |
Loptr | I added my ntfs partition to fstab but on restart ubuntu itself add them to another location and use fuseblk | 13:52 |
undefined_infini | histo, just a file server :) | 13:52 |
asrskz | What channel is best for getting help with Unity | 13:52 |
lloyd | histo: windparadise Maybe a little simplier to look at /home/ | 13:52 |
Loptr | it just ignores my settings in the fstab | 13:52 |
histo | undefined_infini: minimal ram then | 13:52 |
lapion | since in place conversion is possible I want to try it, however if the uuid cannot be changed this cannot be done on a "working boot" | 13:52 |
SrPx | ikonia: http://pastebin.com/rKPkxBKk | 13:52 |
Gentoo64 | asrskz, here | 13:52 |
Gentoo64 | probably | 13:52 |
asrskz | thanks | 13:53 |
histo | lloyd: true lol | 13:53 |
_r00t_ | lol ... probably we all hate unity in here | 13:53 |
lloyd | _r00t_: DOn't count on it. | 13:53 |
undefined_infini | histo, Gentoo64 & iceroot, thanks for the replies | 13:53 |
lapion | Gentoo64, it's in a virtuaslbox on top of ubuntu | 13:53 |
ikonia | SrPx: looks pretty reasonable, did it create a makefile | 13:53 |
lapion | lloyd, exception to the r00le | 13:53 |
cbfarrand | printing blank pages after 11.10 update? | 13:54 |
asrskz | It is taking me a lot longer to do the things I used to do. Maybe it is just a new paradigm. | 13:54 |
lloyd | cbfarrand: What printer? | 13:54 |
cbfarrand | Brother laser | 13:54 |
undefined_infini | histo, Gentoo64 & iceroot, I'll go for atom with 1gb ram :) | 13:54 |
lloyd | cbfarrand: What model? | 13:54 |
SrPx | ikonia: this is the output http://pastebin.com/H3wb4c3Y | 13:54 |
lloyd | cbfarrand: Check toner. | 13:54 |
cbfarrand | HL-5340D, was working fine with previous version | 13:54 |
ikonia | SrPx: ok - so the key there is not the last lime | 13:55 |
_r00t_ | undefined_infini: I run xbmc on a dual core SU2300 / ION and it flys | 13:55 |
ikonia | line | 13:55 |
asrskz | For instance I ssh to several computers in my home network. I used to have a separate launcher on the top panel for each. Each has it's own profile the color is different on each so when I see the terminal I know which computer I am on. | 13:55 |
asrskz | How do I do that in Unity. | 13:55 |
SrPx | ikonia: ? | 13:55 |
undefined_infini | _r00t_, wow cool! | 13:55 |
cbfarrand | lloyd: printer working fine with other computers | 13:55 |
ikonia | SrPx: the makefile is there and has valid entries, but because something is failing to build (typlib plugin by the looks of it) it's complaining about the target defined in the makefile, or lack of it | 13:56 |
windparadise | how do I add a new user to my system? | 13:56 |
windparadise | using command line | 13:56 |
bekks | windparadise: By using "adduser", for instance. | 13:56 |
ikonia | SrPx: it probably wasn't created at configure due to a lack of typelib support | 13:56 |
_r00t_ | undefined_infini: Here she is http://goo.gl/AEAfR | 13:56 |

ikonia | bindi: why do you want something graphical | 13:58 |
ikonia | bindi: all it does is display a list of IP's in the route | 13:58 |
SrPx | ikonia: so theres nothing i can do? its weird for it to be a bug as its happening with all 3.0.x versions | 13:58 |
bindi | ikonia: i mean uh | 13:58 |
bindi | ikonia: geographical :p | 13:58 |

undefined_infini | _r00t_, wow nice! you're using low-powered processor.. I like it! :D | 14:00 |

lloyd | bindi: You will just need to look up the IP addresses to see who/where they are assigned. | 14:01 |
bindi | lloyd: or use a program that likely exists, you're not really helping :f | 14:01 |
SrPx | ikonia: im really sad with all this . i just spent 2 days trying to make something as trivial as finding a good text editor with a feature to navigate though the functions of my source code as i got huge files. so this is necessary. this is all i need. do you know if theres another editor or something that has this? | 14:01 |
bindi | lloyd: i know i could manually geoip them, cba | 14:01 |
iceroot | SrPx: you not use a real editor instead of fighting with gedit? learning vim/emacs is much easier then fighting with the compile-process of gedit3 | 14:01 |
ikonia | SrPx: why not ask the gnome developers ? | 14:01 |
ikonia | SrPx: it's there development project that's not building/working for you | 14:02 |
SrPx | iceroot: really? im using gedit because they said it was the best editor available in ubuntu | 14:02 |
iceroot | SrPx: depending which person you ask | 14:02 |
iceroot | SrPx: for development and profi-stuff of course vim/emacs are way better | 14:02 |
cgrs | hey! please!! | 14:03 |
iceroot | SrPx: if you need something like notepad use gedit, if you want a real editor use vim/emacs (and i suggest vim) | 14:03 |
SrPx | iceroot: good to hear that. of the 2 what has a good feature to browsing large source codes? could be level folding function listing etc? | 14:03 |
SrPx | hmm | 14:03 |
iceroot | SrPx: vim can do everything (like emacs) | 14:03 |
histo | seconds vim | 14:04 |
tensorpudding | SrPx, you can consider geany, i think it has code-folding | 14:04 |
deej1976 | SrPx: vim, geany for GUI | 14:04 |
iceroot | SrPx: e.g. a standard joke is, that emacs is an os with a buildin editor :) | 14:04 |
forloop | did I walk into an IDE discussion? :D | 14:04 |
iceroot | SrPx: ah sorry, "emacs is a os without a good editor" that was the joke :) | 14:04 |
windparadise | hello, pls I made adduser username | 14:05 |
windparadise | how do I add a password to it ? | 14:05 |
tensorpudding | passwd username | 14:05 |
forloop | passwd <username> | 14:05 |
tensorpudding | as root | 14:05 |
iceroot | windparadise: useradd username | 14:05 |
tensorpudding | well | 14:05 |
SrPx | iceroot: haha allright ll try vim | 14:05 |
deej1976 | sudo passwd userid | 14:05 |
iceroot | SrPx: try vim, also have a look at the command "vimtutor" | 14:06 |
windparadise | ok | 14:06 |
josephseraos | Doesn't anybody have the same problem? | 14:06 |
iceroot | SrPx: and remeber, vim is not installed by default on ubuntu so run "sudo apt-get install vim" | 14:06 |
cgrs | i have a wireless pcmcia card (Linksys Wireless-G Notebook Adapter WPC54G V3) which oneiric (11.10) doesn't recognize, even with windows drivers (ndiswrapper)! how can i connect internet with this ?? plz help | 14:06 |
lloyd | bindi: apt-cache search traceroute | 14:06 |
iceroot | cgrs: does "dmesg" show the card when you plug it into the system? | 14:07 |
SrPx | iceroot: allright thank you very much (: lets see | 14:07 |
iceroot | SrPx: trust me, with some learning vim/emacs are the most powerfull editors out there | 14:08 |
cgrs | i don't know, but it shows "firmware it's not installed" or something like that in the top panel | 14:08 |
iceroot | cgrs: because the firmware is not free and because of that not part of the standard ubuntu system | 14:08 |
iceroot | cgrs: seems like you need to download the firmware | 14:09 |
cgrs | where? | 14:09 |
lloyd | cgrs: lspci #Look to see if anything about it shows there. | 14:09 |
SrPx | iceroot: is vim the same as Gvim | 14:09 |
iceroot | SrPx: gvim is a gui for vim | 14:09 |
iceroot | SrPx: vim is text based | 14:09 |
binta1 | hello | 14:09 |
tensorpudding | SrPx, you want gvim probably | 14:09 |
Kolt | Hi! I'm running ubuntu. I have dual monitors. One of the monitors have a wrong display. Its right side is blank and the left ofthe image is out of the display area. What can I do about it? | 14:10 |

BangBusRUs | hi i just installed ubuntu 11.10 lastnight, on my thinkpad t61, just need help with the touchpad and mouse buttons.. | 14:10 |
bindi | lloyd: nothing there.. there's xtraceroute but it's dropped since hardy | 14:10 |
lake | Is there a program/heuristic for identifying the className of windows in X? | 14:10 |
SrPx | iceroot: tensorpudding: what do you mean with a text editor being text based? it doesnt have a gui? what? | 14:10 |
cgrs | ok i'll try it, cuz i'm not on ubuntu | 14:10 |
iceroot | SrPx: vim doesnt have a gui, its for the shell | 14:11 |
halomom | hey all. I have a problem with a dx8 application in wine | 14:11 |
lake | How would one find the className of the window running "gnome-terminal"? | 14:11 |
tensorpudding | SrPx, it has a gui, it doesn't run in the terminal | 14:11 |
iceroot | SrPx: gvim is a gui for vim | 14:11 |
cablop | ok | 14:11 |
tensorpudding | SrPx, it'll have an icon that you can click, in the applications | 14:11 |
cablop | then 50 GB would be ok for a root partition? | 14:11 |
tensorpudding | SrPx, the interface is similar though | 14:11 |
cablop | or in better words | 14:11 |
cablop | more than enough | 14:11 |
bekks | cablop: About 30GB wasted ;) 20GB will be more than enough. | 14:11 |
iceroot | cgrs: more then enough | 14:12 |
lloyd | cgrs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsLinksys#WPC54G | 14:12 |
cgrs | thanx! i'll try! | 14:12 |
iceroot | cgrs: wrong nick, sorry | 14:12 |
lloyd | bindi: You could still probably find xtraceroute | 14:12 |
cablop | ok i am reading that dm-crypt has multithreading | 14:12 |
Loptr | I mounted a ntfs drive with ntfs-3g with options auto,users,uid=1000,gid=100,dmask=027,fmask=137,utf8 0 0 | 14:12 |
iceroot | cablop: yes, more then enough and maybe a waste like bekks said | 14:12 |
Loptr | but it still doesnt allow me to change chmods on files and folders | 14:12 |
cablop | for kernels above 2.6.30 | 14:12 |
iceroot | Loptr: ntfs doesnt support unix-acls | 14:12 |
bindi | lloyd: trying to | 14:13 |
cablop | so i can use LVM on top of that | 14:13 |
bekks | Loptr: Because ntfs doesnt support it at all. | 14:13 |
cablop | and then play with the root size | 14:13 |
Loptr | bekks, i need to change permission on folder to 750 so i can add it as vhost on apache | 14:13 |
Loptr | isn't there some way? | 14:13 |
bekks | No. | 14:13 |
lloyd | cgrs: From: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsLinksys#WPC54G "open the restricted drivers management and enable bcm43xx." | 14:14 |
cablop | ok | 14:14 |
SrPx | tensorpudding: iceroot no, but i mean... without gvim it has no gui? so what does it do at all? are there people developing using the shell? you do? | 14:14 |
cablop | if i plan to have 8GB of RAM, then is a swap of 16 GB a bad idea? | 14:14 |
tensorpudding | SrPx, some people do | 14:14 |
cablop | consider that swap is used to store the RAM when hibernating | 14:14 |
tensorpudding | SrPx, you don't have to | 14:14 |
bekks | cablop: Yes. It is unneeded nowadays. Even for suspend you need just 8GB swap maximum. | 14:14 |
lloyd | cablop: No, but 8 is prolly all you need | 14:15 |
tensorpudding | SrPx, having both is useful, because you can use shell vim over an ssh session | 14:15 |
cgrs | @lloyd thanx! | 14:15 |
tensorpudding | SrPx, so you can use it to do remote admin | 14:15 |
cablop | well disk is 1 TB so i prefer to waste a few GBs and not to fix it a lot | 14:15 |
bekks | cablop: Even 30GB will be more than enough. | 14:16 |
compdoc | 30GB? | 14:16 |
iceroot | SrPx: of course i am developing using vim on the shell | 14:16 |
cablop | ok, then 12GB swap and 30 GB root is a good idea | 14:16 |
cablop | mmm | 14:16 |
mario_ | Hi, anyone can help me with an ATI card on Ubuntu 11.10? | 14:16 |
lloyd | bekks: 30G is definately MORE than enough. | 14:16 |
bekks | cablop: 8GB swap. 30GB /. | 14:16 |
cablop | compdoc: i think he refers to the root partition | 14:16 |
drake01 | cablop, swap twice that of available RAM was an approximation used when RAMs more than 1 GB was rare. | 14:16 |
iceroot | SrPx: no need for a gui or a mouse, much faster with real vim then any mouse-movers out there | 14:16 |
bekks | lloyd: I know. But I dont knwow what he is going to install ;) | 14:17 |
tensorpudding | SrPx, the power of vim is overstated, i recommend using geany | 14:17 |
SrPx | oh my.. | 14:17 |
cablop | bekks: i 'll attempt to use some extra swap due to a virtual machine i use so i don't want to be unable to hibernate for a few mbs in use on swap | 14:17 |
bekks | drake01: That time is gone for 15y now. | 14:17 |
tensorpudding | SrPx, or probably better, try several things and pick the one that you like most | 14:17 |
Can | how difficult is it to switch from ubuntu to kubuntu? and will it screw up grub? | 14:17 |
SrPx | thats what im doing | 14:17 |
jpds | !kde | Can | 14:17 |
ubottu | Can: KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . See http://kubuntu.org for more information. | 14:17 |
cablop | Can no grub affected | 14:17 |
tensorpudding | SrPx, real development is easier with emacs than vim | 14:17 |
bekks | cablop: That has nothing to do with vms at all. You cannot use more RAM than you have. So 8GB will be enough for swap. | 14:17 |
cablop | Can: but you are going to adjust the GDM to KDM | 14:18 |
Sandbro | ? | 14:18 |
drake01 | bekks, Exactly that's what my point... | 14:18 |
SrPx | i serioulsy only need a way to browse large source codes without having to scroll them all, both folding or class listing does it | 14:18 |
tensorpudding | SrPx, you asked about code folding, i doubt that vim supports it, and it surely wouldn't support it in the shell | 14:18 |
SrPx | ill try both | 14:18 |
SrPx | and iceroot are you serious? why that ? how do you do a ctrl+f for instance | 14:18 |
cablop | bekks: yes, but if swap has, let's say 512 MB in use then there's not enough to save the RAM when hibernating | 14:18 |
tensorpudding | SrPx, geany would be the most logical first though, since it's less of a stretch | 14:18 |
Can | i should rephrase i think, i want to completely remove unbuntu and install kubuntu instead, ub just runs way to slow on my old lappy and ive read kub is alot more forgiving on older machines | 14:18 |
iceroot | SrPx: what should ctrl +f do? | 14:18 |
bekks | tensorpudding: Dont tell things that are entirely wrong please. http://smartic.us/2009/04/06/code-folding-in-vim/ | 14:18 |
iceroot | SrPx: searching? do /string | 14:19 |
nDuff | tensorpudding, vim certainly does support code folding7 | 14:19 |
nDuff | ...oh, bekks already got there | 14:19 |
cablop | can wrong, the one for old machines is xubuntu | 14:19 |
tensorpudding | that's gvim | 14:19 |
Can | cablop: yes thank you thats what i meant | 14:19 |
bekks | tensorpudding: No. | 14:19 |
SrPx | iceroot: o.o | 14:19 |
nDuff | tensorpudding, it's not limited to gvim | 14:19 |
iceroot | tensorpudding: of course vim is supporting it | 14:19 |
iceroot | SrPx: /foobar | 14:19 |
iceroot | SrPx: so search for foobar | 14:20 |
kylealbrecht | . | 14:20 |
nDuff | tensorpudding, it _is_ limited to vim as opposed to vi emulation mode, but so are most of the useful features. | 14:20 |
iceroot | SrPx: much easier then ctrl + f | 14:20 |
tensorpudding | SrPx, just go geany, it's simpler and iirc is available by default | 14:20 |
Can | cablop: any ideas on how to go about doing that without screwing up my laptop? | 14:20 |
SrPx | im liking the idea actually | 14:20 |
cablop | can, then same thing, install it, then switch to xdm and done, but it is gtk too, so speed is the same, what you are going to get as an improvement is less ram usage | 14:20 |

kylealbrecht | i recently installed ubuntu on my laptop, got an intel graphics card and i got no graphics acceleration. | 14:20 |
kylealbrecht | if i remember correctly i got it in an earlier version of ubuntu | 14:21 |
SrPx | but iceroot you dont really care about syntax lightning? | 14:21 |
iceroot | SrPx: look at youtube for "vim videos" to see the power of that editor | 14:21 |
SrPx | hmm | 14:21 |
SrPx | i will | 14:21 |
iceroot | SrPx: of course vim has syntax-highlighting | 14:21 |
iceroot | SrPx: as i said, vim is the most powerfull editor out there | 14:21 |
SrPx | hmm | 14:21 |
iceroot | SrPx: it has 10000000000000 more features then gedit | 14:22 |
Jimmio | Could someone explain to me why sticking the output of "yes" into the input of ls causes.. I don't even know what to call it? I figure it's a race condition that uses up all memory.. but I'm not sure, and I won't type the command here as someone will surely run it >.> | 14:22 |
tensorpudding | SrPx, take what they say with a big grain of salt | 14:22 |
mario_ | Hi, anyone can help me with an ATI card on Ubuntu 11.10? | 14:22 |
iceroot | SrPx: syntax highlight is not worth to mention as a vim feature | 14:22 |
SrPx | tensorpudding: pardon? | 14:22 |
halomom | hey all. I have a problem with a dx8 application in wine | 14:22 |

tensorpudding | SrPx, regarding vim being "the most powerful" | 14:22 |
iceroot | tensorpudding: vim and emacs | 14:22 |

share | :) | 14:23 |
iceroot | tensorpudding: but maybe you know an editor which is more powerfull then vim/emacs? i would be really interested in something like that | 14:23 |
tensorpudding | nDuff, i used vim for quite a while, and i know how disingenuous recommending vim to people just looking for an IDE is | 14:23 |
nDuff | tensorpudding, the major thing I see vim missing is refactoring functionality and strong subprocess-buffer support, both things which emacs does better; aside from those, it's up with the best of them | 14:23 |
Loptr | Is there a way to change ntfs to ext3 without formating it? | 14:24 |
SrPx | iceroot: ok then waht are some of the features that makes it so powerfull? and again, about source code browsing, large file, thousands of functions and classes, having to browse though them very far from each other, and needing to have a good visualization of them, how can vim help me with that? | 14:24 |
tensorpudding | they got caught up in having to memorize backwards keybindings | 14:24 |
iceroot | SrPx: what about trying vim? it can all you mentioned | 14:24 |
mario_ | ati drivers installed but system reports VESA. How to know which driver is in use? | 14:24 |
nDuff | tensorpudding, SrPx isn't asking for an IDE, but for a "more powerful" editor. | 14:25 |
nDuff | tensorpudding, ...and that's exactly what vim is. | 14:25 |
tensorpudding | nDuff, depends what you mean by powerful | 14:25 |
kylealbrecht | does anybody know how to fix no acceleration with an intel graphics card on ubuntu 11.10? | 14:25 |
SrPx | iceroot: but id like to hear from someone who likes it what are the key features that makes it so powerful so i can time them | 14:25 |
iceroot | SrPx: also you can use vim-script, load plugins, interacte directly with the shell and its programs, svn and gut integration, syntax highlight, auto complete, syntax check, compile directly, use as a file browser, write markos, call it from the shell with commands, regex and so on and so on | 14:25 |
nDuff | tensorpudding, ...I think that's pretty well-defined -- amount of utility readily available through the tool to a user who has already learned it exhaustively. | 14:25 |
iceroot | SrPx: #vim, youtube and type in there "vim", vim.org | 14:26 |
SrPx | hm ok ok | 14:26 |
nDuff | tensorpudding, ...certainly not the same thing as having a tool with an easy learning curve, but such is the nature of going for tools optimized to be useful to experts rather than easy to learn | 14:26 |
iceroot | SrPx: just trust me, you can do so powerfull (and sometimes crazy) things with vim/emacs | 14:26 |
aaa_ | on user account settings, it tells me password:none, but when i want to unlock the settings, it still asks me to authenticate, and doesn't accept blank password (your authentication attempt was unsuccessful). how can i authenticate? do i really need to set a password? how can i do that (again, it need a password to authenticate..)? | 14:27 |
tensorpudding | nDuff, i used vim for years and could never remember how to do anything complicated, because of how unintuitive it was | 14:27 |
Can | cablop: what would be the best linux environment for a 6 year old laptop with 1.4 ghz single core celeron with 768 ram and a 60gig hard drive? | 14:27 |
nDuff | tensorpudding, *shrug* -- you get out what effort you're willing to put in. | 14:27 |
tensorpudding | nDuff, yeah, there doesn't seem any value in more effort | 14:27 |
cablop | can i will go for xubuntu | 14:27 |
nDuff | tensorpudding, ...says the person who cares about code folding but never bothered to learn how to use it. | 14:27 |
iceroot | SrPx: just type in the shell "vimtutor" after installing vim. its a tutorial for the vim basics | 14:28 |
elgaton | Hi everyone, I have noticed that the page <https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes> is missing the hashes for the latest Ubuntu release (11.04). I cannot edit it as I haven't got the necessary permissions. I asked for help on #ubuntu-doc but received no reply. Should I try again on that channel, file a bug in Launchpad or ask on #ubuntu-devel? Thanks. | 14:28 |
iceroot | SrPx: best way to learn vim (imo) | 14:28 |
cablop | can but i was able to run a full gnome with 3d acceleration in a netbook with 1 GB of RAM and 1.8GHz Atom cpu | 14:28 |
tensorpudding | nDuff, cold-folding in vim is probably newer than my last vim experience | 14:28 |
aaa_ | anyone on? | 14:28 |
tensorpudding | SrPx, if you are really going to try vim, you should try emacs too | 14:28 |
Can | cablop: it runs ubuntu right now its just REALLY slow | 14:28 |
cablop | can i heard that l ldxe or something like that is ok | 14:28 |
tensorpudding | SrPx, i regretted not trying emacs and saving myself the trouble of learning vim | 14:28 |
Loptr | Is there a way to change ntfs to ext3 without formating it? | 14:28 |
iceroot | cablop: i like it much and its worth a look | 14:28 |
cablop | lxde... i guess it is the name, and its distro is, of course, lubuntu | 14:29 |
iceroot | tensorpudding: as it seems you never learned vim | 14:29 |
iceroot | cablop: correct | 14:29 |
cablop | iceroot: like what of ll? lxde? | 14:29 |
nDuff | tensorpudding, folding support dates to 2001 | 14:29 |
tensorpudding | iceroot, i learned it well enough to write code in it | 14:29 |
elgaton | aaa_: Currently, Ubuntu seems not to accept empty passwords (anyway, it's a bad security practice). There is a Launchpad bug about that, if you give me a second I'll tell you the workaround. | 14:29 |

cablop | can, yep, afaik, some people use lubuntu even in arm netbooks (i think the arm processor is a joke xD) | 14:29 |
tensorpudding | iceroot, i learned more than that | 14:30 |
tensorpudding | iceroot, basically everything you can do with gedit plus some extra | 14:30 |
Can | cablop: alright that sounds like it might work so whats the route i take to switch over? | 14:30 |
brontosaurusrex | Can, possibly cruncbang or something openbox based, unless you just love lxde that is | 14:30 |
godbod | Hay everybody anyone familiar with modelio here | 14:30 |
drake01 | tensorpudding, U shud have tried learning editing a codebase too using vim.. then you'd have realised what vim really is!!! | 14:30 |
cablop | can what i'll do is install lxde and xfce and use both depending on the task at hand | 14:31 |
tensorpudding | drake01, a pain? confusing? not as good as emacs? | 14:31 |
Can | sudo apt-get install ? | 14:31 |
nDuff | Heh. | 14:31 |
tensorpudding | i know vim/emacs is a matter of taste | 14:31 |
iceroot | tensorpudding: no need for an editor-flamewar | 14:31 |
tensorpudding | i just don't like vim | 14:31 |
* nDuff has been on both sides of the vim-vs-emacs debate; each for its purpose | 14:31 | |

Calinou | vim sux. :P | 14:31 |
brontosaurusrex | Can and xubuntu-desktop | 14:31 |
nDuff | ...personally, I reach for emacs every time I'm writing code in a LISP variant, vim otherwise | 14:31 |
Can | so lubuntu-desktop and xubuntu-desktop? | 14:31 |

Can | ok brb firing up the lappy | 14:32 |
tensorpudding | i used to relegate vim to quick edits | 14:32 |
SrPx | tensorpudding: of course ill try the 3 mentioned here | 14:32 |
tensorpudding | but i switched to emacs for that too | 14:32 |
devilevil | so | 14:32 |
iceroot | tensorpudding: and it doesnt matter if you like vim or emacs more but my sentecne "vim/emacs are the most powerfull editors" should be true | 14:32 |
tensorpudding | vim starts faster | 14:32 |
devilevil | http://www.astronautica.com/nearprev.jpg <-- What X3D plugin is this | 14:32 |
iceroot | tensorpudding: depending on your .vimrc :) | 14:32 |

drake01 | U BluesKaj, Ha ha!! | 14:33 |
devilevil | http://www.astronautica.com/stars.wrl How do I view it | 14:33 |
tensorpudding | devilevil, we have no idea | 14:33 |

tensorpudding | devilevil, also you get better results not spamming channels | 14:33 |
aaa_ | on user account settings, it tells me password:none, but when i want to unlock the settings, it still asks me to authenticate, and doesn't accept blank password (your authentication attempt was unsuccessful). how can i authenticate? do i really need to set a password? how can i do that (again, it need a password to authenticate..)? | 14:33 |

godbod | up | 14:35 |
godbod | I need to use modelio | 14:35 |
brontosaurusrex | so what is the correct answer if anybody ask if vim or emacs is better? (i never really use any of those) | 14:35 |
tensorpudding | devilevil, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FreeWRL | 14:35 |
Can | cablop, brontosaurus: so once there installed how do i go about switching between them? or will it update my grub with the different desktops? | 14:35 |
tensorpudding | devilevil, claims to be able to browse VRML/X3D | 14:35 |
* drake01 thinks, its good to have a correction troll.. | 14:35 | |
brontosaurusrex | Can, at the login screen you can select | 14:35 |
tensorpudding | brontosaurusrex, the polite answer is to say that it's a matter of taste and off-topic | 14:36 |
cablop | can, it is managed by the graphic daemon, either gdm, ldm or xdm | 14:36 |
brontosaurusrex | tensorpudding, ok :) | 14:36 |
elgaton | aaa_: sorry for the late reply. The bug report is this: <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pam/+bug/104957>. | 14:36 |

brontosaurusrex | grub* | 14:36 |
cablop | can, so don't worry about the grub, the grub just launch the system and then the system takes the control and it depends from that point | 14:36 |
BluesKaj | drake01, we have too many,..they lurk without helping unless a helper gives some mistaken advice , then they correct the helper rather trying to help the person who's asking | 14:36 |
Can | can i install both at once with sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop lubuntu-desktop or should i do them one at a time? | 14:37 |
elgaton | aaa_: At present, the only "stable" fix is to set a password. You may want to try logging in from a terminal (press Ctrl+Alt+F1), login as usual and type "passwd" to set your new password. | 14:37 |
cablop | can it doesn't matter | 14:37 |
elgaton | aaa_: Then press Ctrl+Alt+F7 to switch to the graphic mode again. | 14:37 |
Can | cablop: ill do one at a time just to be safe | 14:37 |
cablop | can, yep | 14:38 |
jerware | moin. | 14:38 |
iceroot | i dont see why this "no login without a password" should be a bug, for me its a security-featu | 14:38 |

deej1976 | Why no setup with autologin? | 14:40 |
SrPx | iceroot: didnt see emacs yet but vim is wonderful, from yt videos. | 14:41 |

iceroot | cablop: instead of a real user | 14:42 |
cablop | iceroot: mmm nope, guest is tooooo limited | 14:42 |
cablop | iceroot: the first problem guest has is that it is nooooo customizable | 14:42 |
SrPx | iceroot: but why you ingnore that question? do it have a plugin to visualize the symbols on a file. like the command ls, but for listing classes, functions etc | 14:42 |

iceroot | SrPx: if you mean syntax-highlight on classes and functions | 14:43 |
glebihan | sevith, because the file system on the flash drive probably doesn't support linux permissions | 14:43 |
iceroot | cablop: hm but i dont think it should be enabled by default in ubuntu | 14:43 |
sevith | glebihan, re format with ext4 should fix? | 14:44 |
glebihan | sevith, ie if the flash is partitioned as fat or ntfs, you can't change permissions on it | 14:44 |
glebihan | sevith, yes | 14:44 |

=== Jinxed-- is now known as Jinxed- | ||
glebihan | sevith, I don't think windows handles ext4, so afaik there is no filesystem that both windows and linux will handle and that'll let you use linux permissions | 14:46 |
sevith | glebihan, Lame. :( | 14:47 |
iceroot | SrPx: below your input but not as default | 14:47 |
cablop | glebihan: uniue solution afaik is to use a linux on top of windows or maybe just cygwin | 14:47 |
iceroot | SrPx: i think its possible without an extra plugin but dont know the function needed to enable it | 14:47 |
cablop | and access that file system from it | 14:47 |
cablop | xD | 14:47 |
glebihan | sevith, there used to be a way to mount ext3 partitions on windows. I'm not sure whether it still exists and I wouldn't trust it | 14:48 |
brontosaurusrex | there are ext2 drivers for windows | 14:48 |
iceroot | SrPx: have a look at #vim, also you can place your config in ~/.vimrc to have it for the future | 14:48 |
sevith | glebihan, Yeah. Im not too worried. I can always use another flashdrive I guess. Thinking about the issue. I need the perms on this drive because I have TONS of homebrewed scripts on there.....Its a * to run em constantly having to move the fils ha | 14:49 |

sevith | Sweeet. Only gonna take an hour to move my files! | 14:49 |
brontosaurusrex | sevith, check http://www.fs-driver.org/ | 14:49 |
iceroot | SrPx: also have a look at "vimdiff" a very nice diffviewer | 14:49 |
glebihan | sevith, well if the files you want to execute are scripts you can also run "sh filename" rather than directly executing the file, that way you don't have to worry about permissions | 14:49 |

cablop | SrPx: meaning you programmed in windows xD | 14:51 |
SrPx | cablop: yep, new to ubuntu | 14:51 |
SrPx | to linux* | 14:51 |
iceroot | SrPx: create a file, write some text, save it, edit it on some places, save it to another file and call "vimdiff file1 file2" to see | 14:51 |
cablop | SrPx afaik a diff is a file holding the differences between two versions of a text file | 14:51 |
soreau | SrPx: If you want to know the differences between two files, you can use 'diff file1 file2' | 14:52 |
iceroot | SrPx: use vimdiff instead of diff (because its much easier to read) | 14:52 |
soreau | SrPx: It compares the files line by line | 14:52 |
deej1976 | SrPx: meld is a good graphical diff program | 14:52 |

ubottu | Leao: Unity is the default UI since Ubuntu 11.04. Unity is a shell for GNOME. see http://unity.ubuntu.com. For a GNOME 2-like experience, see !notunity | 15:10 |
zykotick9 | !nounity | Leao | 15:10 |
ubottu | Leao: 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 |

sevith | philwong, Which is why you should use ubuntu. No one likes windows ;) | 15:48 |
philwong | sevith: hahahahaa | 15:48 |
brontosaurusrex | Wavesonics, no idea, maybe Squid or similar | 15:48 |
bluenemo | philwong, if you're new to linux you should use ubuntu. | 15:48 |
philwong | I am very new | 15:48 |
bluenemo | (imho) | 15:48 |
philwong | Is ubuntu the easiest linux? | 15:49 |
philwong | or is debian | 15:49 |
dsirijus | should i find ubuntu server support on som eother channel? | 15:49 |
zykotick9 | philwong, debian is NOT | 15:49 |

dsirijus | thanks | 15:49 |
sevith | philwong, Try slackware ;) | 15:49 |
philwong | haha | 15:49 |
philwong | good one | 15:50 |
bluenemo | hm linux is basicly not what you're asking for at the moment :) i think what you want is an easy to use graphical system so far. when you got that, get into the command line | 15:50 |
bluenemo | debian is ok too but you want a non professional distribution (like ubuntu) | 15:50 |
philwong | Actually i dont like graphical environment | 15:50 |
philwong | Even now I am using a win2000 theme on XP | 15:50 |
brontosaurusrex | mint main edition is good at this point (imho), since it lags behind ubuntu and doesnt use gnome-shell or unity, so id go with that philwong | 15:51 |
bluenemo | if you want to use the command line only i'd recommend debian | 15:51 |
sevith | philwong, Try slackware then...I learned alot when I started using it.. | 15:51 |
doki_pen | philwong: slackware is easiest to understand | 15:51 |
p1ruj3 | I removed an entry from hosts.deny, restarted denyhosts, and the removed entry still cannot connect, what am I missing? If I reboot it will work.... How can I rehash this entry removal without rebooting? | 15:51 |
bluenemo | is slack debian based? | 15:51 |
bluenemo | or slack based :) ? | 15:51 |
philwong | slackware I heard was one of the hardest | 15:51 |
doki_pen | bluenemo: no, it predates debian | 15:51 |
philwong | You have to build everything.... :(] | 15:51 |
doki_pen | philwong: it's the simplest system | 15:51 |
philwong | Yes, after youi have learned it | 15:51 |
doki_pen | philwong: what is your goal? | 15:51 |
bluenemo | well there is no hard, just distributions for special requirements | 15:52 |
philwong | nothin really just a solid operating system that can do what windows does | 15:52 |
doki_pen | philwong: people think slackware is hard because it doesn't have GUIs | 15:52 |
bluenemo | as you are an beginner you should choose a beginners distribution. if you want to get right into linux's internals, you should use a professional distribution for servers (like slack or deb)( | 15:52 |

sevith | Grr Gparted wont let me format this USB. | 15:53 |
sevith | ! | 15:53 |
philwong | I had mint.. but wine works horrible on it | 15:53 |
bluenemo | sevith, try dd'ing it first with random or zeros | 15:53 |
philwong | also no supoprt for it | 15:53 |
sevith | bluenemo, Alright. | 15:53 |
bluenemo | if that doesnt work, maybe it is to old and it cant be written to anymore (some usb sticks get that..) | 15:53 |
conntrack | Hi | 15:54 |
doki_pen | philwong: why don't you use windows if you want the windows experience? | 15:54 |
bluenemo | :) | 15:54 |
sevith | Question: Somone told me a HDD is limited to 4 partitions. I dont believe this. Am I wrong? | 15:54 |
sbarcteam | hi. | 15:54 |
bluenemo | sevith, 4 primary partitions | 15:54 |
philwong | Linux was faster | 15:54 |
sevith | bluenemo, Only 4 primary but as many others as youd like? | 15:54 |
glebihan | philwong, wine will work the exact same way on ubuntu and mint | 15:54 |
bluenemo | you can declare an extended partition in one of those 4, which then basicly is a partitionable partition | 15:54 |
philwong | ran far more smoother than windows | 15:54 |
doki_pen | philwong: it's not going to be faster if you are running windows programs on linux | 15:54 |
sbarcteam | I am on lucid. and its driver of e1000e is too old for my NIC. | 15:54 |
bluenemo | extremly simple said yes sevith | 15:54 |
area51pilot | philwong... I agree that ubuntu is prob one of the best beginner distro's to work with...my pref is 10.10 | 15:54 |

area51pilot | philwong: 11.04 is out, but i have instability issue in the office environment | 15:55 |
bluenemo | or just install another gui.. | 15:55 |

philwong | will it recognize quad core i5? | 15:57 |
sevith | The real question is: Who does like unity? | 15:57 |
glebihan | area51pilot, 10.10 is not a good choice right IMO. it's either 10.04, 11.04 or 11.10 | 15:57 |
area51pilot | bluenemo: I dont care for unity and I had some printing issues on the network | 15:57 |

randy2009 | if i ping it pings every 5 seconds, or is this an ubuntu feature? (centons pings every1 second) | 16:02 |
glebihan | area51pilot, I can understand that, but in that case I'd go with 10.04 rather than 10.10 for a new install | 16:02 |

jacquesdupontd | it makes now 3 days i'm on it , and i'm getting crazy | 16:45 |

oiiii | glebihan: but it still requires sudo? | 16:45 |
glebihan | oiiii, you still need to use the sudo command each time you want to run a command as root | 16:45 |

deej1976 | jacquesdupontd: no luck with gconf-editor | 16:58 |
dmb__ | basically, I liked gnome the way I had it... I've added it to the install, but as I said, I can't seem to add launchers to the gnome pannel | 16:58 |
dmb__ | right mouse click on teh pannel has no effect | 16:58 |
jacquesdupontd | deej1976, don't think so | 16:58 |
dmb__ | is this intentional, or is something borked? | 16:58 |
jacquesdupontd | deej1976, gconf-editor is applying things on the user home dir right ? | 16:58 |
dmb__ | ok, here goes... can anyone hear me? (please say 'no' if you can't) | 16:58 |
brontosaurusrex | jacquesdupontd, so i guess the default templates are borken somehow, so find where are those stored and somehow compare to official ones | 16:59 |
Guest61811 | dmb__, no, i can't... | 16:59 |

lotus | I'm trying to install 2.6.38.8 kernel in ubuntu 11.10 -- it's installed and I can pick it from the grub boot menu. However, my OS freezes before I get to the Ubuntu Loading screen (with the dots) -- I need wireless and 2.6.38.8 is apparently the latest kernel that works. I've tried 2.6.38.11 which does boot, but I still have no wireless functionality | 17:02 |
dmb__ | sorry... can't right click it | 17:02 |
glebihan | dmb__, in that case you didn't install gnome2 (it's incompatible with oneiric) | 17:02 |
osubuck_ | his own vision that almost nobody else shares :) | 17:02 |
dmb__ | glebihan: ok | 17:02 |
jacquesdupontd | deej1976, what do you mean by the mandatory windows ? | 17:02 |
dmb__ | glebihan: should I be able to see a menu when right clicking the 'gnome-pannel' started in xfce? | 17:02 |
dmb__ | or how about in the regular 'ubuntu' desktop? | 17:03 |
jacquesdupontd | deej1976, i'm doing this in the upper part of the tree right deej1976 ? | 17:03 |
glebihan | dmb__, not sure about gnome-panel in xfce never tried it | 17:03 |
Chelsea_ | osubuck_, Maybe in about a year we'll be wondering why we didn't see it... | 17:03 |
glebihan | dmb__, the "regular" ubuntu desktop is unity | 17:03 |
dmb__ | glebihan: it behaves like in gnome, as far as I can tell | 17:03 |
sileni | mneptok: the wierd part is my windows guest on virtualbox on same machine is able to putty into that host | 17:03 |
mneptok | sileni: it looks like the connection actually fails. is port 22 open to the outside? do you need to forward that port in your router? does your ISP allow port 22? | 17:03 |
deej1976 | jacquesdupontd: Look under the File menu should new three option one defaults one mandatory defaults that the user can/can't change ( can never remember which ) | 17:03 |
dmb__ | glebihan: is unity not based on gnome then? | 17:03 |
dmb__ | (sorry for ignorance) | 17:03 |
sileni | mneptok: i"m pretty sure it is open..i can ssh into other systems | 17:04 |
glebihan | dmb__, yes it is, but it's based on gnome3 not gnome2 | 17:04 |
jacquesdupontd | ho right | 17:04 |
mneptok | sileni: "same machine" which? the one you are using as a client, or V-box on the ssh server box? | 17:04 |
harsh343 | whenever I m trying to install anything in ubuntu 10.04 i got an error like this Errors were encountered while processing: | 17:04 |

harsh343 | crossplatformui | 17:04 |
deej1976 | jacquesdupontd: yes Delete the right settings should be a subset of all options | 17:04 |
dmb__ | ok, in the gnome arena, I've got gnome, gnome-classic, gnome-classic-no-effects, ubunut, ubuntu-3d | 17:04 |
deej1976 | jacquesdupontd: Good luck got to leave now. | 17:04 |

jacquesdupontd | deej1976, it created a new conf window with only gnome in the tree | 17:04 |
dmb__ | I can't add launchers to the pannel in any of them... | 17:04 |
jacquesdupontd | deej1976, is that what i had to do ? | 17:04 |
mneptok | sileni: ah, OK. did you install fail2ban or anything that would monitor and disallow ssh connections? | 17:05 |
glebihan | dmb__, gnome-panel is the same in all of them | 17:05 |
japro | how would i enumerate the physical HDs/SSDs in the system? | 17:05 |
deej1976 | jacquesdupontd: See what settings are under gnome | 17:05 |
jacquesdupontd | deej1976, got / desktop and gnome | 17:05 |
sileni | mneptok: nope | 17:05 |
dmb__ | glebihan: ok, is my gnome-pannel broken then? I can't right click on it | 17:05 |
sileni | mneptok: i added the server to /etc/hosts too | 17:05 |

dmb__ | JasonGriffee: no idea, installed under the previous version and now it still works | 17:29 |
dmb__ | my camera is borked though... not sure why | 17:29 |
dmb__ | it was working 'out of the box' but when I tried to kill unity and get a sensible wm, it died | 17:29 |
haploid | so, after installing 11.10, I no longer have access to the system settings I used to. in appearance, for instance, I can alter baxkground and theme - that's it. not fonts or animations, or effects, or anything. why was configurability REDUCED ? | 17:30 |

bekks | haploid: You have to ask the gnome devs ;) | 17:30 |
dmb__ | haploid: you don't want to do that | 17:30 |
dmb__ | unity has decided what you want | 17:30 |
devian | zykotick9 found a way http://ubuntugenius.wordpress.com/2011/01/08/ubuntu-cleanup-how-to-remove-all-unused-linux-kernel-headers-images-and-modules/ | 17:31 |
brontosaurusrex | dmb__, haploid thats actually a gnome part of the story i think | 17:31 |
* dmb__ blames whoever is at hand ;-) | 17:31 | |
haploid | damn, ok | 17:32 |

JasonGriffee | dmb_, It just is that I couldn't get it to work in 11.04 and 11.10, which is why i dont use ubuntu at the moment. I would love to use it, but skype is the one "mission critical" app that I need. | 17:32 |
dmb__ | JasonGriffee: what did you try, tbh I forgot how I got it working | 17:32 |
dmb__ | but I don't remember it being a big problem | 17:33 |
JasonGriffee | dmb_, what? | 17:33 |
dmb__ | JasonGriffee: how have you tried to install Skype? | 17:33 |

dmb__ | JasonGriffee: and what error did you see? | 17:34 |
dAnjou | hi, i use xfce (previously gnome 2). in gnome 2 i had chromium as default browser, now i switched over to firefox. although i set "x-www-browser" and "gnome-www-browser" and the setting in this fancy GUI dialog to firefox, guake still opens links in chromium. any ideas? | 17:34 |
dmb__ | skype --version # Skype 2.2.0.35 | 17:35 |
JasonGriffee | dmb_, it wasn't a error problem, the GUI refused to respond | 17:35 |
dmb__ | JasonGriffee: the skype gui? hrm... what wm? | 17:35 |
JasonGriffee | dmb_, wm? | 17:36 |
dmb__ | JasonGriffee: can I try calling you now? | 17:36 |
dmb__ | what windows manager? Ubuntu 3D? | 17:36 |
RiXtEr-Home | JasonGriffee, window manager... default is unity | 17:36 |
dmb__ | try Ubuntu 2D | 17:36 |
RiXtEr-Home | 2d or 3d ;) | 17:36 |
RiXtEr-Home | dmb__, on your camera issue, have you tried to go back a kernel? | 17:37 |
dmb__ | RiXtEr-Home: no I haven't | 17:37 |
dmb__ | I'm amazed its 3.0 already | 17:37 |
lacrymology | I'm trying to restore grub, but my old install is 64bits and the livecd I have is 32 bits, and I cannot chroot into it, can someone give me a hand | 17:37 |
RiXtEr-Home | dmb__, I am trying that right now to see if it helps my 3d issues | 17:37 |
lacrymology | ? | 17:37 |
dmb__ | It's like we're living in the future! | 17:37 |
RiXtEr-Home | dmb__, i remember 2.2 still.. | 17:37 |
dmb__ | RiXtEr-Home: let me know if your camera starts working | 17:38 |
dmb__ | Could it have been 1.8 when I started linuxing? | 17:38 |
JasonGriffee | dmb_, I don't have ubuntu atm, I was hoping to see if there was a easy fix. I need skype on saturday so i can't have massive downtime. | 17:38 |
dmb__ | I guess 1997 | 17:38 |
dmb__ | JasonGriffee: sorry, I can't really help. It works here on 11.10 for me | 17:38 |
RiXtEr-Home | dmb__, I don't have a cam, I am downgrading to see if compiz keeps taking quite a bit of cpu, and see if my opengl games work any better. | 17:38 |
dmb__ | RiXtEr-Home: yeah, just killed compiz here | 17:39 |
dmb__ | vowed away from 3D ;-) | 17:39 |
japro | so i want a dual boot setup with windows and ubuntu and have a fresh system with an SSD and a HD... is the preferred route still to first install windows and then repartition in the ubuntu install? | 17:39 |
RiXtEr-Home | heh | 17:39 |
dmb__ | vowed away from unity... but seems I've been bashed with a digital cudgil | 17:39 |
RiXtEr-Home | dmb__, I am more doing it to see if my games start working again. | 17:39 |
dmb__ | RiXtEr-Home: did you look into getting your drivers working? | 17:39 |
dmb__ | RiXtEr-Home: I'ts been ages since I compiled a kern, but it's fun | 17:40 |
RiXtEr-Home | dmb__, they work, the 3d stuff is just VERY choppy | 17:40 |
dmb__ | hrm | 17:40 |
urlin2u | japro, do a custom install with windows you wont have to resize it, otherwise resize it with its partitioner. | 17:40 |
RiXtEr-Home | dmb__, I am grabbing the deb from natty for the kernel | 17:40 |
fosburg | Is there an application to check the Ubuntu OS for problems and fix the problem(s)? | 17:40 |
JasonGriffee | dmb_, do you know anyone that installed it on a fresh install of ubuntu 11.10 and it worked out of the box? | 17:40 |
RiXtEr-Home | dmb__, http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty-updates/amd64/linux-image-2.6.38-12-generic/download | 17:40 |
dmb__ | fosburg: not that I know of | 17:40 |
dmb__ | JasonGriffee: I'm willing to try uninstalling it now | 17:41 |
dmb__ | JasonGriffee: if you like | 17:41 |
RiXtEr-Home | JasonGriffee, don't be misled, 11.10 is a HUGE step in the right direction | 17:41 |
urlin2u | japro, W7 has a partitioner, if that's is your install | 17:41 |
RiXtEr-Home | JasonGriffee, They may have jumpped the gun a bit on releasing it though. | 17:41 |
Deformative | For some reason my entire synaptic now has duplicates with the suffix :i386. | 17:41 |
Deformative | Why? | 17:41 |
fosburg | dmb--thanks for the good news | 17:41 |
dmb__ | Removing skype ... | 17:42 |
arooni-mobile | for gnome-shell; how do i switch the number of workplaces | 17:42 |
urlin2u | arooni-mobile, they exspand as you fill them. | 17:42 |
dmb__ | fosburg: about the 'fix any problem' app ;-) | 17:42 |
dmb__ | fosburg: you should write it, it would be great | 17:43 |
urlin2u | arooni-mobile, fill 4 and a 5th will appear | 17:43 |
dmb__ | JasonGriffee: works | 17:43 |
JasonGriffee | RiXtEr-Home, i'm not arguing, I played with it on release day i those it was neat. I just have to ensure that skype will function | 17:43 |
JasonGriffee | dmb_, ty | 17:43 |
BangBusRUs | hi i just installed ubuntu 11.10 on my thinkpad t61, but the touchpad isnt working, what should i do? | 17:43 |

dmb__ | BangBusRUs: go for a less bleating edge release, you may have better look | 17:45 |
dmb__ | BangBusRUs: but seriously, someone here should be able to help you get your hardware working | 17:45 |
dmb__ | how do I start a gnome-shell session? | 17:45 |
urlin2u | dmb, you have it installed? | 17:46 |

BangBusRUs | brb | 17:46 |
dmb__ | urlin2u: yes | 17:46 |
dmb__ | I don't see it listed at login though... | 17:46 |
JasonGriffee | dmb_, my main issue though was not it loading, but rather i couldn't make or receive calls. chatting was impossible | 17:46 |
urlin2u | dmb__, at the login you have a desktop choice. | 17:46 |
dmb__ | urlin2u: what is it called? | 17:47 |
urlin2u | dmb__, it look like a big asterix | 17:47 |
Chofoteddy | Puro idioma inglés xD en Ubuntu existe algún programa de apoyo ? | 17:47 |

KNUBBIG | Is there any way to disable the splash screen and see the textual output? | 18:01 |
zykotick9 | tobi_, what graphics card are you using? "lspci | grep -i vga" if you aren't sure. | 18:01 |
japro | EuroNerd, it always worked flawlessly for me | 18:02 |
japro | well apart from some applications behaving slightly weird with multiple x-screens | 18:02 |
xrdodrx | EuroNerd, of course it did, you're now asking your GPU to do double what it did before, how old is it? | 18:02 |
zykotick9 | KNUBBIG, remove "quiet splash" from /etc/default/grub then run "sudo update-grub" | 18:02 |

halomom | anyone know how to make an ISO and turn it into a directory? | 18:05 |
tobi_ | japro: I've installed the driver version 173.14.30 | 18:06 |
zykotick9 | halomom, mount the iso then copy the files to a directory you create (to mount ISO see "/msg ubottu iso") | 18:06 |
Can | halomom: you can extract it with a program like power iso | 18:06 |
jwtiyar | its possible to run .dmg file in ubuntu? | 18:06 |
japro | i think that is pretty old (285 is current or so) | 18:06 |
bekks | jwtiyar: No. | 18:06 |
japro | tobi_, do you use unity/compiz? | 18:06 |
ForXDoY | halomom: you can also make an ISO using Brasero Disc Burner | 18:06 |
wxl | brontosaurusrex: you mean your HOST os is win or os x? | 18:07 |
tobi_ | japro: yes | 18:07 |
jwtiyar | bekks, why? they both based on linux/FreeBSD | 18:07 |
brontosaurusrex | wxl, yes | 18:07 |
bekks | jwtiyar: Why not? It is an Apple Inc. proprietary format nowadays. | 18:07 |
brontosaurusrex | wxl, guest is 11.10 of course (64 bit) | 18:07 |
halomom | ForXDoY, and to make it a directory? | 18:08 |
wxl | brontosaurusrex: technically i'm trying to run a lubuntu guest | 18:08 |
xrdodrx | jwtiyar, :| FreeBSD has absolutely nothing to do with dmg (Apple's Disk Image), and Linux is not BSD... | 18:08 |
japro | tobi_, i use metacity, since compiz tends to mess with my opengl stuff | 18:08 |
xrdodrx | And OS X is hardly BSD either :P | 18:08 |
wxl | brontosaurusrex: alloted 512mb to it which should be sufficient | 18:08 |
japro | also it makes my netbook WAY more responsive | 18:08 |
jwtiyar | bekks, its not Apple its FreeBSD | 18:08 |
tobi_ | japro: how can I change it? | 18:08 |
bekks | jwtiyar: And BSD isnt Linux. | 18:08 |
zykotick9 | xrdodrx, oh OSX is an offical BSD | 18:08 |
brontosaurusrex | wxl, also disable 3d and 2d acceleration | 18:09 |
japro | tobi_, try logging with classic - no effects or so to try it | 18:09 |
wxl | brontosaurusrex: there's a though | 18:09 |
zykotick9 | xrdodrx, darwin i think they call it | 18:09 |
ForXDoY | halomom: you mean mounting it to a directory? Just try what zykotick9 said | 18:09 |

perlsaiyan | I have pam_check_host_attr set to yes, but it does not seem to matter -- any ldap user can login to any host | 18:09 |
wxl | brontosaurusrex: they're both disabled | 18:10 |
bekks | nww: That is called an "open relay" and you are adviced to NOT do so. | 18:10 |

ubottu | halomom: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 18:11 |
reisio | hdon-: oh, um, wmctrl or xdpyinfo or something | 18:11 |
salah | !minimal | 18:11 |
ubottu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 18:11 |

wxl | brontosaurusrex: what bekks said (he's the #vbox person) :D | 18:11 |
EuroNerd | another multi-monitor question: When I watch a movie on screen A and start doing something on screen B, on screen A the top Ubuntu bar appears (the one with clock and off switch etc.), obstructing part of the image. Can I prevent it? | 18:11 |
reisio | hdon-: xdpyinfo | grep -i focus | 18:11 |
=== jan247_ is now known as jan247 | ||
reisio | hdon-: what're you up to? | 18:12 |
hdon- | reisio, thanks :) | 18:12 |
EuroNerd | (on screen A the movie is in full-screen) | 18:12 |
brontosaurusrex | bekks, wxl ok. | 18:12 |
skoreme | hi ppl. any idea how can i boost my graphic card i think it doesnt works fine. i got radeon 9600 with 128mb and even small games i freezes | 18:12 |
reisio | skoreme: what driver are you using | 18:12 |
hdon- | reisio, i am using Firebug, and it open a sort of tool tip window, and steals focus, which makes my mouse hovers not be detected anymore (the window is essentially a tool tip related to what i am mousing over, and it is seriously cramping my style right now) | 18:12 |
hdon- | reisio, so i want to configure compiz to never focus on the window | 18:12 |
skoreme | i downloaded some ati tools and opengl tools | 18:13 |
reisio | hdon-: I thought firebug only ran in Firefox | 18:13 |
[_miT_] | hmm, just started getting a "could not call home" info msg in my console | 18:13 |
skoreme | referendet by ubuntu | 18:13 |
[_miT_] | er, wrong chan! | 18:13 |
[_miT_] | lol | 18:13 |
bekks | nww: Please dont open unasked private chats. Ask in this room. | 18:13 |
wxl | brontosaurusrex, bekks it is interesting that there are other ubuntu users with the same problem in 11.10 .. something in the change from 11.04 for them. mine was a fresh 11.10 install so can't make a connection there. | 18:13 |
skoreme | i cant find any info in sysytem setting | 18:13 |
reisio | skoreme: run sudo lspci -k | less, then type '/VGA' and hit enter | 18:13 |
skoreme | thank iam fresh thx for help | 18:13 |
zykotick9 | reisio, FYI lspci doesn't need sudo | 18:14 |
thomas__ | any idea about this -> http://postimage.org/image/a3isjuro7/ | 18:14 |
hdon- | reisio, yes i am running firefox | 18:14 |
halomom | ForXDoY, I just figured I'd grab the both of you at once. thanks guys (I've never mounted an ISO o linux, just windows) | 18:14 |
hdon- | reisio, but it does create other windows sometimes | 18:14 |
ForXDoY | halomom: you're welcome :) | 18:14 |
reisio | zykotick9: I try not to store all the Ubuntu irregularities in my head | 18:14 |
skoreme | GA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 AQ [Radeon 9600] | 18:14 |
skoreme | Subsystem: C.P. Technology Co. Ltd Device 2075 | 18:14 |
skoreme | Kernel driver in use: radeon | 18:14 |
skoreme | Kernel modules: radeon, radeonfb | 18:14 |
reisio | hdon-: huh | 18:14 |
reisio | skoreme: okay, radeon | 18:14 |
zykotick9 | reisio, well, try not to suggest sudo unless it's needed | 18:15 |
reisio | skoreme: you could try fglrx instead, possibly | 18:15 |
reisio | zykotick9: what does it matter? | 18:15 |
skoreme | reisio mind if i pm? | 18:15 |
zykotick9 | reisio, you should learn to use the system properly (and you should give proper advice) | 18:15 |
reisio | skoreme: why would I | 18:15 |
hdon- | reisio, want to hear something even stranger? i just really looked at that window for the first time and realized it had all the information i wanted to see, and was doing it a stupider way. not doing it that way anymore, this problem is 99% less annoying. good day! | 18:15 |
reisio | zykotick9: there's nothing improper about sudo lspci | 18:15 |
EuroNerd | what do you call the top bar in ubuntu - the one with clock, the off switch etc. ? | 18:16 |
reisio | hdon-: :D | 18:16 |
zykotick9 | reisio, expect for the fact that you are using sudo unnecessarily | 18:16 |
ForXDoY | In case of a system freeze, where xkill doesn't help, is there any difference to using Ctrl+Alt+SysRq+K instead of plain old Ctrl+Alt+Backspace? Which is preferred? | 18:16 |
wxl | sudo luke i am your father | 18:16 |
reisio | zykotick9: the end result being nothing bad | 18:16 |
zykotick9 | ForXDoY, it's just ALT+SYSRQ+K | 18:16 |
zykotick9 | ForXDoY, and xkill is to kill an app - not all Xorg... you can sometimes use kill/killall when xkill fails | 18:17 |
ForXDoY | zykotick9: I sometimes have to use Ctrl as well. But anyway, which of the two would be preferred or are they the same? | 18:17 |
wxl | just make sure you disconnect your computer frmo the network before you start sudoing everything under the sun, reisio .. at least if you value it | 18:17 |
reisio | ForXDoY: backspace is disabled by default these days is all | 18:17 |
reisio | ForXDoY: stopping gdm would probably be simplest/kindest | 18:17 |
zykotick9 | ForXDoY, same difference | 18:17 |
reisio | wxl: lspci is not everything under the sun | 18:18 |
ForXDoY | zykotick9 and reisio: thank you guys :) | 18:18 |
wxl | reisio: by extension you might as well sudo ls and sudo cd, too | 18:18 |
reisio | wxl: not really | 18:18 |
salah | is there any way to install a minimal Unity? (without shotwell, libreoffice, 100 000 unused drivers etc) | 18:18 |
xrdodrx | ForXDoY, You can do `sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration` to make ctrl-alt-backspace kill the X server again [it's the last question] :) | 18:19 |
wxl | oh i know! sudo login! | 18:19 |
reisio | wxl: ls and cd do not require root in other distros, lspci does | 18:19 |
Jinxed- | whats the best guide to follow for a lamp install on ubuntu 11.04 | 18:19 |
reisio | salah: if you install from the alternate install image, I think you might have the option of installing without the preinstalled desktop stuff | 18:19 |
wxl | reisio: oh get really fancy and start sudoing gui apps; that's always fun | 18:19 |
zykotick9 | Jinxed-, you could check https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP | 18:20 |
halomom | ForXDoY, it doesn't work, it ees it as a USB drive, not a CD | 18:20 |
halomom | sees* | 18:20 |
reisio | wxl: what's funny about this conversation is that between us I'm the only one who's used more than one distro | 18:20 |
ForXDoY | xrdodrx: thanks, I already found the GUI for enabling it though :) | 18:20 |
carl_ | lu | 18:20 |
wxl | reisio: that's interesting. your psychic abilitities are failing you, unfortunately. | 18:20 |
salah | reisio, I have already done that, but now I want to install Unity. And I am not interested in installing so much drivers and applications I never will need :) | 18:20 |
reisio | wxl: psychic abilities don't factor into it | 18:20 |
reisio | salah: which ones don't you want, exactly? | 18:21 |
reisio | salah: I doubt unity itself deps in libreoffice... | 18:21 |
ForXDoY | halomom: I thought you wanted to see it as a directory? | 18:21 |
lordjj | Any drawbacks to using Ubuntu 64-bit? | 18:21 |
halomom | ForXDoY, oh, sorry, no I want it mounted like a CD, in a dirctory | 18:21 |
reisio | lordjj: nope | 18:21 |
salah | for example: installing unity gives you xorg, xorg gives you... I don't know how many, but drivers for intel, nvidia etc etc I never will need | 18:22 |
lordjj | Why does the Ubuntu website recommend 32-bit to 64 bit? | 18:22 |
Leao | Help me please, i installed new Radeon graphics drivers and my ubuntu is not starting up (writing from win 7) | 18:22 |
zykotick9 | salah, does installing the "unity" package pull in the stuff you don't want? | 18:22 |
reisio | lordjj: so they don't have to explain the difference | 18:22 |
zykotick9 | lordjj, easier for most people | 18:22 |
Leao | i can only switch to CTRL F1 | 18:22 |
Leao | at startup | 18:22 |
wxl | reisio: well then you've just assumed incorrectly | 18:22 |
reisio | lordjj: so people don't ask which to use | 18:22 |
salah | zykotick9, I am installing it now, i'll see :) | 18:22 |
reisio | wxl: it's important to you for me to think that, isn't it :p | 18:22 |
zykotick9 | Leao, ctrl+alt+f1 while in X | 18:22 |
ForXDoY | halomom: I would try the command: sudo mount isoimage.iso /media/cdrom0 -o loop | 18:23 |
Leao | and then ? | 18:23 |
ForXDoY | where isoimage.iso is the name of your ISO file | 18:23 |
zykotick9 | halomom, /media/cdrom0 would have to exist for ForXDoY's command to work | 18:23 |
wxl | reisio: i think it's important that you don't lead people towards insecure systems-- that's the point | 18:23 |
reisio | wxl: there's nothing insecure about sudo lspci | 18:23 |
zykotick9 | reisio, it's NOT needed - so don't use sudo there | 18:24 |
Leao | Oh I get it, i have to debug the problem myself. But I'm not good with system commands. | 18:24 |
Leao | How can i fix this ? | 18:24 |
pcpower | I'm trying to boot the ubuntu installer off a USB drive but after the kernel messages go by, the display goes blank and nothing happens after that. what can I do? | 18:24 |
Leao | There is obviously a problem with graphics drivers. | 18:24 |
reisio | zykotick9: if I remember it | 18:24 |
pcpower | I've tried changing the vga= kernel parameter to different values but it hasn't helped so far | 18:24 |
reisio | otherwise I'll continue to put sudo before things most distros need root for | 18:24 |
wxl | reisio: how many minutes is a sudo good for? i.e. how long do you retain superuser privs after one command? | 18:24 |
zykotick9 | pcpower, vga= is actually deprecated | 18:24 |
wxl | reisio: for that matter, what is sudo? | 18:25 |
halomom | zykotick9, so cd media && mkdir cdrom0 ? | 18:25 |
reisio | wxl: you tell me what sudo is | 18:25 |
pcpower | zykotick9: then this page should be updated: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions | 18:25 |
halomom | zykotick9, or could I use another number, like cdrom2 | 18:25 |
pcpower | that's where I saw it | 18:25 |
zykotick9 | halomom, i'd just use " sudo mount isoimage.iso /mnt -o loop" instead | 18:25 |
iceroot | reisio: wxl man sudo says 15 minutes | 18:25 |
wxl | reisio: super user do, baby. ultimate power. | 18:25 |
reisio | heh | 18:26 |
wxl | exactly 15 minutes.. a big 15 minute security hole. good on ya, reisio | 18:26 |
halomom | zykotick9, it's for use in wine, not for linux itself. and it's being picky | 18:26 |
iceroot | wxl: change it in sudoers (see man sudo) | 18:26 |
reisio | iceroot: ha | 18:26 |
wxl | yep! | 18:26 |
pcpower | zykotick9: any ideas? | 18:26 |
wxl | which your average user who accepts sudo lspci won't do.. | 18:26 |
reisio | wxl: and if Ubuntu users weren't constantly running sudo, I'm sure that'd matter | 18:26 |
wxl | so let's perpetuate the notion | 18:26 |
pcpower | I cannot find any help on the ubuntu website for how to fix it | 18:26 |
halomom | pcpower, what's the ssue? | 18:27 |
halomom | issue* | 18:27 |
reisio | pcpower: no CD/DVD drive? | 18:27 |
pcpower | halomom: I lose video when the installer boots, using USB | 18:27 |
zykotick9 | pcpower, have you tried nomodeset yet? | 18:27 |
pcpower | zykotick9: no, how do I do that? | 18:27 |
zykotick9 | !nomodeset | pcpower | 18:27 |
ubottu | pcpower: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 18:27 |
pcpower | oh it's just a kernel parameter | 18:27 |
pcpower | ok | 18:27 |
mfaroukg | I have many problems in the network connections in all the VPN, PROXY and the wireless ? what is going on with ubuntu 11.10??? | 18:27 |
halomom | zykotick9, do you think wine will accept that directory? | 18:28 |
halomom | it didn't accept ~/cdmount | 18:29 |
zykotick9 | halomom, don't know. I don't do wine stuff, good luck. | 18:29 |
_platypus_ | Could someone possibly point me in the direction of a good Unity users manual? It will be much nicer when I figure out how to use it properly. | 18:29 |
mfaroukg | there are many missing packages in ubuntu 11.10 | 18:29 |
reisio | halomom: can change those in winecfg | 18:29 |
pcpower | zykotick9: that worked, thanks | 18:29 |
pcpower | just wish it was on that BootOptions page on the website | 18:30 |
pcpower | I wouldn't have to ask here :) | 18:30 |
halomom | reisio, I did, still wouldn't accept it, that's what the problem was | 18:30 |
zykotick9 | pcpower, as you've already noticed - that page needs updating | 18:30 |
reisio | halomom: #winehq | 18:30 |
x3qt0r | hello | 18:32 |
reisio | hi | 18:32 |
x3qt0r | I am not able to get my dual monitors to run | 18:32 |
x3qt0r | in separate X screen mode | 18:32 |
xrdodrx | _platypus_, https://help.ubuntu.com/11.10/ubuntu-help/index.html is the offical documentation, also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity and http://fridge.ubuntu.com/2011/04/21/the-power-user%E2%80%99s-guide-to-unity/ | 18:32 |
reisio | x3qt0r: with nvidia-settings? | 18:32 |
x3qt0r | yes | 18:33 |
=== r00t_ is now known as rast0 | ||
x3qt0r | I adjust it like I did in 10.04 | 18:33 |
x3qt0r | but in 11.10 | 18:33 |
x3qt0r | it seems impossible | 18:33 |
x3qt0r | one of the monitor stays black | 18:33 |
x3qt0r | with a cross as a mouse pointer | 18:33 |
lordjj | what's the difference between Ubuntu-alternate and Ubuntu-desktop? | 18:33 |
reisio | fair amount of people have been having dual monitor issues with 11.10 | 18:33 |
halomom | 11.10 is natty, right? | 18:33 |
x3qt0r | hmm | 18:34 |
x3qt0r | is it unsolvable? | 18:34 |
ForXDoY | halomom: no, it's oneiric | 18:34 |
reisio | lordjj: less graphical, slightly more options exposed | 18:34 |
Pici | lordjj: Just the installer. | 18:34 |
reisio | x3qt0r: nothing's unsolvable | 18:34 |
halomom | ForXDoY, ten why didn't update manager request it? *blinks* | 18:34 |
x3qt0r | So whats the solution | 18:35 |
reisio | x3qt0r: I'd check ubuntuforums.org first | 18:35 |
x3qt0r | i did! | 18:35 |
x3qt0r | I am on about it | 18:35 |
halomom | x3qt0r, patience and perserverence? | 18:35 |
x3qt0r | since the reslease | 18:35 |
x3qt0r | release | 18:35 |
x3qt0r | I know I know | 18:35 |
x3qt0r | ! | 18:35 |
FloodBot1 | x3qt0r: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 18:35 |
mfaroukg | x3qt0r, I PRESSS CTL+F4 THEN CTL+F7 AS workaround | 18:35 |
ForXDoY | halomom: request what? The update to 11.10? | 18:35 |
x3qt0r | been on ubuntu since 6. 04 | 18:35 |
halomom | ForXDoY, yes | 18:35 |
mads | question: do i need to have "enter" of new line after inserting a command or module to be loaded en config files like "/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf" or "/etc/modules" | 18:35 |
h00k | if I were to file a bug against the 'process' of using the user-switcher in the upper right corner, would I file it against one of the indicators? | 18:36 |
reisio | mads: doubt it | 18:36 |
salah | zykotick9, installing unity-package did not install lightdm. installing lightdm gives me xorg and all of the unnecessary package. is there any ways to skip all the drivers and just install the required vesa package? | 18:36 |
x3qt0r | mfaroukg, ? | 18:36 |
x3qt0r | nothing happened | 18:36 |
mads | reisio i the old days it was... | 18:36 |
ForXDoY | if you're not using the latest buntu, then it should be offered up in the Update Manager | 18:36 |
ForXDoY | halomom: ^ | 18:36 |
reisio | mads: if you used vim it'd add a newline on its own | 18:36 |
mfaroukg | x3qt0r, try it when screen gets blank | 18:37 |
halomom | now it tells me.. when was it released? | 18:37 |
mads | reisio i just use gedit | 18:37 |
zykotick9 | salah, doubt it. Is storage space some a HUGE concern for you or something? I doubt Xorg drivers will take up to much room. | 18:37 |
reisio | mads: :p | 18:37 |
x3qt0r | mfaroukg, it is blank | 18:37 |
x3qt0r | one of my screen IS blank | 18:37 |
zykotick9 | mads, i highly doubt it would matter | 18:38 |
mfaroukg | x3qt0r, press ctl+F4 then ctl+F7 it will get back working | 18:38 |
x3qt0r | it isnt | 18:38 |
x3qt0r | =/ | 18:38 |
Leao | im using ubuntu 11.10 and i was trying to get my Gnome 3 shell working, i switched from unity to it but graphics were glitchy. So I uninstalled it and tried to install opensource graphics drivers. But now the OS isnt starting up. Gives [failed] loading errors on gnome display manager and a few other processes. I only have access to terminal (to everything :P) | 18:38 |
Leao | Any idea on how to fix ? | 18:38 |
halomom | salah, you can always rm the ones you don't need after they download | 18:38 |
ForXDoY | halomom: somewhere in the middle of October, I think | 18:38 |
Somelauw | Hi, I am using evince, but I usually displays pdf's black on white (high contrast) since this hurts my eyes I wonder if there is a way to make the colors easier on my eyes. | 18:39 |
mads | zykotick9 thanks trying to help somebody by mailt with something that should have worked | 18:39 |
* nDuff notes that when in X, it can need to be ctrl+alt+F4, not just alt+F4 as when already in a text console | 18:39 | |
reisio | Leao: which driver? | 18:39 |
halomom | ForXDoY, odd.. cause I just installed this PC with natty last night from LTS | 18:39 |
Somelauw | I only have this problem since I use this computer a lot. | 18:39 |
reisio | Somelauw: evince can invert the colors | 18:39 |
Leao | hmm im looking it up reisio one second | 18:40 |
reisio | Somelauw: CTRL+i, or View > Inverted Colors | 18:40 |
ForXDoY | halomom: might be by design, if some packages needed to be transitionally updated (in my lack of better words for it), but I'm just guessing here | 18:40 |
reisio | Somelauw: also if you install the program 'xcalib', the command xcalib -i -a should toggle color inversion for your entire X | 18:40 |
dikidera | Hi all | 18:40 |
lordjj | I've been hearing about some motherboards overheating with newer kernel versions, can someone provide a list of affected models and tell me more about it? | 18:41 |
reisio | dikidera: hiyo | 18:41 |
dikidera | can anyone tell me in 11.10 how i can enable hidden files? | 18:41 |
halomom | ForXDoY, eh.. no big deal I'll get around to t later then | 18:41 |
halomom | dikidera, CTRL + H ? | 18:41 |
lordjj | dikidera cntrl+h ?? | 18:41 |
reisio | lordjj: probably where ever you heard about it... | 18:41 |
Somelauw | reisio: I would prefer grey on black, but maybe that is not possible yet. | 18:41 |
aarkerio | hi! what is the MTA by default in Ubuntu 11.10? Exim4? | 18:41 |
Somelauw | White on black is slightly better, I think. | 18:41 |
reisio | Somelauw: oh I'm sure some app can do that | 18:41 |
slinzex | why eye of gnome fails to remove pic? It says Cannot access to trash. Help please | 18:41 |
dikidera | thanks guys, it works | 18:41 |
reisio | Somelauw: if you decrease gamma with xgamma, it will become gray on black eventually | 18:42 |
mfaroukg | I have many problems in the network connections in all the VPN, PROXY and the wireless ? what is going on with ubuntu 11.10??? and there are many missing packages in ubuntu 11.10 ??? and the flash blugins are missing | 18:42 |
reisio | Somelauw: hrmm, no actually that doesn't seem to work | 18:42 |
halomom | mfaroukg, 1: wait for people to get to you. 2: gnash works well for flash | 18:43 |
lordjj | So no one's heard of the overheating problem in the new kernel... | 18:44 |
reisio | I'm not sure even you have | 18:44 |
lordjj | Was mentioned in an article | 18:45 |
reisio | what article? | 18:45 |
mfaroukg | halomom, please try http://live.sis.gov.eg/live if you have that gnash | 18:45 |
lordjj | Don't recall | 18:45 |
Somelauw | I just figured out pdftotext /tmp/srw11_2_solutions.pdf - | less works nice. | 18:45 |
reisio | Somelauw: heh | 18:45 |
ForXDoY | speaking of new kernel, are there serious known issues with Virtualbox and linux kernel 3? | 18:45 |
ForXDoY | I heard of the linux devs marking VBox drivers as "crap", but don't know if there are any real issues with it | 18:46 |
halomom | zykotick9, no luck, still wants the cd in the drive (mounted to cdrom1 as a cd-rom) | 18:46 |
mfaroukg | halomom, it works with VLC no problem. | 18:46 |
zykotick9 | halomom, sorry, i don't/won't help with wine issues. Good luck. | 18:47 |
halomom | mfaroukg, video on the link? | 18:47 |
Somelauw | Actually it has some problems. Nevermind I will continue reading it in inverted colors. | 18:47 |
mfaroukg | halomom, it is streaming with voice only | 18:47 |
Somelauw | I am too much spoiled anyway. | 18:47 |
Somelauw | :P | 18:47 |
halomom | mfaroukg, I heard the voice no problem | 18:47 |
reisio | ForXDoY: Linux 3 is basically Linux 2.6.40 | 18:47 |

reisio | ForXDoY: it's not magically unstable because they call it 3 | 18:48 |
ForXDoY | oh | 18:48 |
R_____ | When I scan for available wireless connections, nothing shows up | 18:48 |
ForXDoY | I'll show the link of the article if I can find it | 18:48 |
reisio | they're usually pretty concerned with stability regardless | 18:48 |
R_____ | But when I was at home it was able to connect to the wireless at my house | 18:48 |

halomom | mfaroukg, where is that from? | 18:49 |
mfaroukg | halomom, are you using ubuntu 11.10? and are you having the restricted packages installed for ubuntu 11.10 | 18:49 |
halomom | (I don't recognise the eg region) | 18:49 |
mfaroukg | halomom, it is EGYPT | 18:49 |
reisio | ForXDoY: that doesn't surprise me | 18:49 |
ForXDoY | since that happened around the time linux 3 came out, I assumed it was related to that | 18:49 |
reisio | ForXDoY: we have kvm now anyways, VirtualBox isn't going to last outside of win32 and osx | 18:49 |
ForXDoY | reisio: I haven't tried kvm, but other's suggested it's a hell of a bother to get it working | 18:50 |
reisio | nah | 18:50 |

halomom | mfaroukg, linux is not my area of expertiese, I'm learning still | 19:01 |
xangua | !latest | Leao | 19:01 |
ubottu | Leao: 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. | 19:02 |
mfaroukg | halomom, all releases were awesome till I get this 11.10 it looks nice but lots of bugs | 19:02 |
halomom | mfaroukg, then try natty | 19:02 |
Leao | well except for Gnome 3.0 shell everything is perfectly fine | 19:02 |
lauratika | does any body knows where is language support in 11.10 under gnome? | 19:02 |

mfaroukg | halomom, my configurations :(( | 19:03 |

ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 19:07 |
dikidera | this has never happened before | 19:07 |

reisio | deper29: what's your processor? | 19:08 |

ActionParsnip | deper29: what GPU do you use? | 19:09 |
skomorokh | EFI partitioning help? I've got Win7 installed w/EFI and am setting up 11.10 with LUKS. Do I need to create an EFIboot partition or will it use the one from Windows somehow? I'm not clear if it replaces /boot or it's just for the bootloader---if I do need a second one, does that mean I don | 19:09 |
skomorokh | t need /boot? | 19:09 |

mfaroukg | ActionParsnip, how about the new packages I installed ? shall I select them one by one ? | 19:10 |

iceroot | danub: no but why change something if there is everything fine? | 19:32 |
sskniranjan | obert u can install compiz from software centre to customise ur launcer | 19:32 |
Pici | RiXtEr-home: fglrx does not support the x1300 | 19:32 |
sskniranjan | lil bit | 19:32 |
danub | latest and greatest i suppose | 19:32 |
obert | sskniranjan: i'll try that way then. thanks for clarifications | 19:32 |
RiXtEr-home | Pici, ah... then radeon drivers. | 19:32 |
obert | sskniranjan: this sounds a freakky setting anyway | 19:32 |
obert | i dont like this default setting | 19:33 |
RiXtEr-home | I am getting better performance overall with the 2.6.x kernel here (IMO) | 19:33 |
japro | hmm, ok i dont really get this, i now have partitions for / and /usr on the SSD and i want all the rest including /var and /tmp on the hd right? do i have to make extra partitions for those or can i just have som catchall partitions? and how do i set that up in the partitining tool | 19:33 |

=== Guest62256 is now known as slashuer | ||
zykotick9 | IsmAvatar, actually that "might" be matching your display refresh some how. glxgears is a terrible benchmark - do you have working compiz or 3d games? | 19:34 |
IsmAvatar | zykotick9: I was also benchmarking by fullscreen videos on youtube, which slowed to a crawl | 19:35 |

brontosaurusrex | Um_cara_qualquer, !ask | 19:37 |
japro | should i have separate partitions for /var and /tmp ? | 19:37 |
riffautae | japro: mount --bind will let you map one directory to another accross partitions, I dont know how to do that in the installer or from a gui | 19:37 |
IsmAvatar | RiXtEr-home: trying that now | 19:37 |
japro | riffautae, ok, so i can just create one big partition and then sort that out later | 19:37 |
RiXtEr-home | IsmAvatar, scroll up and read that big red box. | 19:38 |
riffautae | japro: yes though you'll prolly want to do it before yo urestart into the system | 19:38 |
riffautae | japro: copy everything over to the catcll partition from inside the live cd then put the bind in your fstab | 19:38 |
nww | rrr | 19:39 |
IsmAvatar | RiXtEr-home: don't think that pertains to me. I didn't go to the Radeon website or anything. This is essentially a fresh install of Oneiric | 19:39 |
zykotick9 | japro, i don't have an SSD, but "personally" i'd but / on the SSD and SWAP and /home on your HD - a little easier. | 19:39 |

RiXtEr-home | IsmAvatar, alright, just be aware that if your card won't run with the fglrx driver, you may end up with a cli system only | 19:39 |
riffautae | japro: yea it would prolly be easier the other way around / on the ssd and then take /home and /var out onto the hdd | 19:39 |
riffautae | japro: perhaps just make tmp a 'tmpfs' so its in ram | 19:40 |
riffautae | japro: also you might set noatime or relatime on the ssd partitions | 19:40 |
japro | so do i need the distinction between / and /usr on the ssd? | 19:40 |
RiXtEr-home | japro, not if you do it the way riffautae suggests. | 19:40 |
Travis-42_ | after some period of time it seems like my notification area crashes and new app icons don't show up there. has anyone experienced this? | 19:41 |
zykotick9 | japro, that's up to you (and the different advice you've been given) | 19:41 |
IsmAvatar | v_v | 19:41 |
riffautae | japro: prolly not, if you make / on the ssd that will catch /usr /lib and others | 19:41 |
slashuer | japro i would just do / and /home | 19:41 |
riffautae | japro: be aware if you want /usr on the ssd you might as well put /lib there too | 19:41 |
DrGamut2 | why | 19:41 |
DrGamut2 | so stuff runs faster? | 19:41 |
RiXtEr-home | i'd put /lib on there... nothing wrong with faster loading libraries | 19:41 |
slashuer | japro do you have a ssd and an hdd | 19:42 |
riffautae | DrGamut2: yes usr and lib are both important for the loading speed of programs | 19:42 |
DrGamut2 | k | 19:42 |
japro | just that i get this right, if i put / on the ssd and /home on the hd, everything that isn't in home will end up on the SSD? | 19:42 |
japro | slashuer, yes | 19:42 |
riffautae | japro: yes | 19:42 |
RiXtEr-home | japro, yep | 19:42 |
zykotick9 | japro, be sure to put SWAP on the HD! | 19:42 |
riffautae | japro: yes listen to zykotick9 about swap | 19:42 |
japro | zykotick9, that i already did | 19:42 |
RiXtEr-home | indeed. :) | 19:42 |
RiXtEr-home | longer life of your ssd | 19:43 |
japro | so i guess i'll put / on the ssd, /home and /var on the hd | 19:43 |
slashuer | japro if you want the solid state to last i would put /var /tmp and swap on the hdd | 19:43 |
japro | what a reasonable sizes for var and tmp? | 19:43 |
IsmAvatar | RiXtEr-home: if that happens, I'm doing a fresh install of oneiric and we'll be right back to where we started, minus a couple hours lost, so no biggy | 19:44 |
RiXtEr-home | tmp normally doesn't require much hdd, var on the otherhand... | 19:44 |
zykotick9 | slashuer, i doubt there is a huge mount of write to /var and /tmp? Why bother relocating those? | 19:44 |
RiXtEr-home | IsmAvatar, just letting you know you may end up with a hosed system ;) | 19:44 |
riffautae | zykotick9: logs are in /var | 19:44 |
slashuer | yeah i guess | 19:44 |
zykotick9 | riffautae, good point! sorry slashuer - you make a good point ;) | 19:45 |
RiXtEr-home | zykotick9, yeah constant writing there. | 19:45 |
riffautae | zykotick9: caches and such as well | 19:45 |
IsmAvatar | you'd think I'd be used to it by now v_v | 19:45 |

saintbasil | Excuse me, anyone good with SED? | 19:46 |
IsmAvatar | RiXtEr-home: I got stuck. "sudo: aticonfig: command not found" | 19:46 |
riffautae | /var is for long term runtime data, /tmp is for short term | 19:46 |
japro | /var on my laptop is like 500mb | 19:46 |
zykotick9 | saintbasil_, i know the #bash people ususally are ;) | 19:46 |
slashuer | my /var is 4gb | 19:46 |
brontosaurusrex | var can also hold /www, which can be huge, but i guess that wont happen | 19:46 |
riffautae | japro: you could just make /tmp a tmpfs, ubuntu clears /tmp every boot anyway | 19:46 |
saintbasil_ | zykotick9: ty | 19:47 |
riffautae | japro: that means it is not a disk partition but instead in ram | 19:47 |
japro | well, since it's on the hdd i guess i can make it like 20gb and not worry about it | 19:47 |
japro | /var i mean | 19:47 |
riffautae | japro: haha that is a bit exessive let me check all the machines i have access to to see how much they use | 19:47 |
brontosaurusrex | japro, id go with about 2 gigs (blindly) | 19:48 |
slashuer | well you should not have much problems insept on updates becausse /var/apt/cache | 19:48 |
slashuer | all the software on your computer downloads to here | 19:48 |
JetBoyJetGirl | how does one disable auto-connecting to wireless networks on ubuntu 10.10 without actually disabling wireless? | 19:48 |
riffautae | brontosaurusrex: right now on this machine i am using i have 1gb and on an ubuntu server there is 512mb | 19:49 |
riffautae | brontosaurusrex: used | 19:49 |
brontosaurusrex | riffautae, so 2 gigs is reasonable i guess | 19:49 |
cablop | riffautae: what is your question? | 19:50 |
riffautae | japro: yea so 2->4gb is prolly fine | 19:50 |
slashuer | jetboyjetgirl right click network and click on your connt¥ection type and then click edit and unselect auto connect | 19:50 |
riffautae | cablop: ? i dont have one | 19:50 |
cablop | lol | 19:50 |
zykotick9 | japro, until you try to upgrade to the next release ;) | 19:50 |
cablop | then what is 2 gb enough | 19:50 |
riffautae | cablop: well sorta, we are trying to figure out how big to make /var | 19:50 |
brontosaurusrex | cablop, the question is how to partition a new install with ssd and normal hd disks | 19:51 |
cablop | riffautae: it depends, var holds things like webpages if you use apache and tomcat servers and also databases,so for web development 2 gb is probably too few | 19:51 |
japro | i use it for desktop stuff and non-web-development | 19:52 |
brontosaurusrex | cablop, yes, but the www can be set somewhere else as well | 19:52 |
cablop | did anyone tested that btrfs? | 19:52 |
bdrewery | anyone know a workaround for this? https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/803943 | 19:52 |
ubottu | Launchpad bug 803943 in unity "compiz consuming a lot of cpu" [High,Confirmed] | 19:52 |
riffautae | cablop: however that can all be relocated | 19:52 |
cablop | brontosaurusrex: not that true, because security is managed by aparmor to move things like mysql databases is aPITA | 19:52 |
zykotick9 | bdrewery, don't use unity ;) | 19:52 |
riffautae | cablop: especially if he has a catch all partition for data on the hdd | 19:52 |
japro | right now i have / on ssd, /var on hdd and /home on hdd | 19:53 |
riffautae | cablop: just make a www and db folder on his hd partition and tell them to use that | 19:53 |
cablop | riffautae: or partition the thing using LVM | 19:53 |
cablop | by the way | 19:54 |
brontosaurusrex | cablop, your cms or whatever databases are over a gig ? | 19:54 |
riffautae | japro: another option for the hdd is make a partition and mount it to like /space then make a var and home subfolder | 19:54 |
riffautae | japro: then use a bind to map them to root | 19:54 |
riffautae | japro: then you have tons of space and dont have to worry | 19:54 |
japro | i guess i'll try like this, nothing too fancy :D | 19:55 |
cablop | nope, but if you are using the machine for webdevelopment you are going to need things like a subversion|git|bazaar repository, plus dev, test, user acceptance environments, and so on | 19:55 |
cablop | and if you develop in thins like tomcat, you are going to reach the 1GB SO fast | 19:55 |
riffautae | japro: are you going to tmpfs /tmp ? | 19:55 |
riffautae | japro: you might be able to do that in the installer | 19:55 |
japro | yep, but i'll first have to google how to do that | 19:55 |
brontosaurusrex | cablop, he will not | 19:56 |
cablop | anyone using btrfs? | 19:56 |
japro | in the partitioning tool I don't see an option for tmpfs | 19:56 |
riffautae | japro: ok i wasnt sure | 19:56 |
slashuer | any one here a software developer? | 19:56 |
riffautae | slashuer: i imagine there are a few around >.> | 19:56 |

riffautae | cablop: they will pile up | 20:06 |
cablop | sigh | 20:06 |
brontosaurusrex | go8765, yours, provider should have all ports open (i think) | 20:06 |
cablop | ok, then 256 | 20:06 |
japro | darius, you can pretty much just set the exec bit and doubleclick them | 20:06 |
cablop | and manual clean up from time to time | 20:06 |
go8765 | brontosaurusrex: and what about NAT ? | 20:07 |
brontosaurusrex | go8765, it might be a router set to certain other machine in your network? | 20:07 |
go8765 | brontosaurusrex: I am under NAT | 20:07 |
cablop | in your opinion what is best | 20:07 |
riffautae | go8765: you probably have a device at your house that directs internet from your provider into your computers, that is what may have open ports | 20:07 |
darius | japro, it attempts to open, it shows it trying to on the unity dock, then it just goes away and nothing happens. This with ALL .exe files. | 20:07 |
slashuer | 地用なら | 20:07 |
cablop | ext3 on top of LVM on top of dm-crypt | 20:08 |
brontosaurusrex | go8765, yes, then it might be some other machine returning xyz port request | 20:08 |

=== Guest70913 is now known as MarcosAraujo | ||
brontosaurusrex | riffautae, why do you need lvm on laptop ? (just courious) | 20:21 |
cablop | i had that on a netbook, i had to use many partitions... to spawn a process per block device, vitual machines and swap were making of it a real bottleneck | 20:21 |
riffautae | cablop: i didnt notice any drops but i didnt get to play with it much. compiles and such never had an issue | 20:21 |

go8765 | dikidera: or try cardapio. if I right understood you | 20:34 |
riffautae | Hapz: sorry you have to replace ALL instances of the first string with the second one in the file yourself. its not just one line | 20:34 |
llutz | cablop: mount -o bind /existing/derectory /newmountpoint | 20:34 |

Hapz | and i replaced its content. | 20:36 |
lauratika | trism: but im using uinity | 20:36 |
riffautae | Hapz: if you did that, then run apt-get update and it should pull down the new repo info | 20:36 |

japro | and the asus bios shows me these uefi things one is called ubuntu the other windows boot manager, but putting the "ubuntu" one first will still boot windows | 20:54 |

meowsus | ... i assume | 20:54 |
riffautae | meowsus: sync will reduce the chances of disconnect while mounted corrupting | 20:54 |

occupant | So I'm in a three monitor setup and I can't seem to specify the position of the launcher. Everything I read says that it's supposed to follow whatever the primary display is, but mine is staying on the leftmost display (whatever display I configure to be left) instead of the primary. anyone know if I can override this somehow? | 20:58 |

gigastress_ | hello guys | 20:58 |
friskd | Hey all i just installed ubuntu desktop and gdb on a rackspace cloud server and am now trying to run Firefox, and it can't connect to the internet. | 20:58 |
friskd | Why might that be | 20:58 |
gigastress_ | is there anyone who can help me with lvm and lucid | 20:59 |
riffautae | occupant: are you on gnome2 or unity | 20:59 |
riffautae | friskd: does it have a static ip? if so you need to set the default gatewayu | 20:59 |
sasori | riffautae: here it is http://i.imgur.com/26nOt.png what to do next ? | 20:59 |
occupant | riffautae: unity | 20:59 |
friskd | riffautae: yes it has a static ip. | 20:59 |
riffautae | sasori: the thing on the right is how much space for ubuntu, the thing on the left is how mouch it leaves for windows | 21:00 |
friskd | riffautae: i can't ping from the server either... | 21:00 |
friskd | or wget | 21:00 |
riffautae | sasori: ubuntu will make all its partitions in that 86.2gb space area | 21:00 |
riffautae | friskd: can you ping things on the same subnet? | 21:00 |
riffautae | the gateway will let you out of the subnet | 21:00 |
sasori | how to alter the space ? because, when I clicked the "advancedpartitioning tool" link at the bottom, nothing is happening | 21:00 |

friskd | riffautae: not sure what to test pinging . | 21:01 |
riffautae | sasori: if you drag the line between the two areas it will let you adjust it | 21:01 |
gigastress_ | cant login on full disk encryption | 21:01 |
friskd | riffautae: its just a rackspace cloud server. | 21:01 |
sasori | riffautae: lol..awesome :D | 21:01 |
viliny | Hello! | 21:01 |
hilarie | sup | 21:01 |
riffautae | friskd: you might send them an email and ask what network settings to use so that you server can access the internet. other wise you have to guess what the gateway IP is | 21:01 |
gigastress_ | hello! | 21:01 |
sasori | riffautae: what's the usual size of an ubuntu distro ? | 21:02 |
occupant | riffautae: thinking I should try something other than unity? | 21:02 |

viliny | i just installed amd64 version of the ubuntu server software, i installed ubuntu-desktop and startx:ed myself to a desktop. Now im having trouble with mounting a internal 2TB HD thats on this machine, it tells me: Unable to mount 2.0 TB Filesystem Not authorized | 21:02 |
NvrBst | Another Question: Is there a method/program to let a x11 app run, but, also be able to exit SSH? VNC best/only option? | 21:02 |
MonkeyDust | occupant: or a differnet ubuntu fork | 21:03 |
viliny | any ideas? | 21:03 |
riffautae | sasori: you can go as small as 20 prolly but that wont leave much for your own files | 21:03 |
sasori | ok cool...thanks riffautae :) | 21:03 |
bekks | viliny: Then try mounting it manually. | 21:03 |
IRsee | viliny: by what method are you mounting the device? | 21:03 |
riffautae | sasori: you could figure ou what the minimum you need for windows fiels in the future will be and give the rest to ubuntu if you reallyt like linux :) | 21:03 |
sasori | i gave it 80GB :D | 21:03 |
riffautae | sasori: nice | 21:04 |
viliny | IRsee, not in any particular manner, trying to access it on what i believe is nautilus on this abomination that is unity | 21:04 |
gigastress_ | is there anyone who can help me with lvm and lucid, > cant login on full disk encryption | 21:05 |
friskd | riffautae: could it be something more simple. I can't even do pings or wget and that stuff normally just works after a basic rackspace install. | 21:05 |
friskd | could installing ubuntu desktop and gdb have caused something to stop this. | 21:05 |
IRsee | gigastress: Do you know the password to unlock the disk? | 21:05 |
riffautae | friskd: run ifconfig and see if eth# has an ip | 21:05 |
grampass0 | 2 | 21:05 |
gigastress_ | riffautee> yez I have I even see the pw prompt after mz upgrade to lucid, but i wont accept | 21:06 |
friskd | riffautae: it does | 21:06 |
viliny | also, why is the user accounts utility completely useless with everything greyed out here in unity? | 21:06 |
friskd | and i can ping the server from the outside. | 21:06 |
friskd | riffautae: both eth0 and eth1 have ipts. | 21:06 |
friskd | *ip;s. | 21:07 |
friskd | ! ip's. | 21:07 |
bekks | friskd: "ips". | 21:07 |
spacebug- | in oneiric when trying to use a keyboard sortcut to run "soffice mydocument.ods" it sometimes (like 50%) of the times does not appear in the dock and there for is not in my alt+tab list. This worked perfectly in natty. (the program always launched though with my file as expected). | 21:07 |
riffautae | friskd: run 'route' there should be an entry with 0.0.0.0 as the gen mask | 21:07 |
friskd | riffautae: there is | 21:08 |
riffautae | friskd: huh, weird | 21:08 |
japro | ok, i looks like grub still doesn't see my windows install | 21:08 |
riffautae | friskd: try pinging 8.8.8.8 [thats a google dns server\ | 21:08 |
japro | can i manually tell it how to boot to windows? | 21:08 |
friskd | riffautae: that works. | 21:08 |
riffautae | japro: did you reboot after the install to see this | 21:08 |
riffautae | friskd: its a dns issue | 21:09 |
gigastress_ | IRsee====yes I have I even see the pw prompt after my upgrade to lucid, but i wont accept | 21:09 |
friskd | rfolco: pingin google.com doesn't work | 21:09 |
japro | riffautae, yep, rebooted multiple times | 21:09 |
friskd | but the ips do work. | 21:09 |
japro | also "update-grub" doesn't mention windows | 21:09 |
riffautae | japro: does the ubuntu one work? if so you might have to manually put in the entry | 21:09 |
kraken | friskd:try ping -c 5 8.8.8.8 | 21:09 |
=== go8765_off|away is now known as go8765 | ||
friskd | kraken: that works. | 21:10 |
japro | yes i sorted that out, i get the list and see the linux kernels and the usual memtest stuff | 21:10 |
friskd | i just pinged the actuall address of another server and that works. | 21:10 |
friskd | it appears doing the actual names doesn't work. | 21:10 |
kraken | friskd: now ifconfig -a | 21:10 |
friskd | kraken: then what? | 21:10 |
riffautae | friskd: the windows thing is in grub but the entry doesnt work? | 21:10 |
japro | riffautae, nono, it isn't there in the first place | 21:11 |
friskd | if i ping 8.8.8.8 it works. if i ping google.com it doesn't. | 21:11 |
riffautae | japro: ok just making sure | 21:11 |
riffautae | friskd: you need to set up your name server | 21:11 |

wayne | I have a question, I installed xubuntu on a pc thats from 2003 was this the best idea. | 21:13 |
riffautae | wayne: i dont see why not | 21:13 |
wayne | Linux mint doesn't run correctly on this machine, I thought xubuntu was the best | 21:13 |
wayne | I tried puppy dog linux but didn't like it... | 21:13 |
go8765_off_away | wayne, you may try crunchbanglinux.org too | 21:13 |
riffautae | wayne: if thats too slow as well you might try pure debian or something | 21:13 |
reisio | why would you | 21:13 |
cablop | wayne: xubuntu or lubuntu, but a full ubuntu is very good for that, even kubuntu works on it | 21:14 |
gigastress_ | IRsee, did you see my message? | 21:14 |
redlion | hello | 21:14 |
wayne | I have the debian iso but.. It doesn't seem setup for wifi so I took it off and went to xubuntu 10.4 or something I hope this is correct | 21:14 |

reisio | wayne: free -m, under total | 21:17 |
reisio | viliny: from what? | 21:18 |
riffautae | friskd: not if you have iptables set up ;) | 21:18 |
viliny | from unity i guess | 21:18 |
viliny | this is cumbersome | 21:18 |
reisio | viliny: you're using unity on 10.10? | 21:18 |
riffautae | friskd: add 'nameserver 8.8.8.8' to it and see if you can ping google | 21:18 |
viliny | yes reisio | 21:18 |
friskd | riffautae: that worked! | 21:18 |
wayne | http://pastebin.com/j9REYeX4 | 21:18 |
friskd | So what do i need to do. get the rackspace name servers? | 21:18 |
friskd | or can i just use googles? | 21:19 |
riffautae | friskd: :D ok so you can just use that or you can ask rackspace if they have a local nameserver for you to use | 21:19 |
friskd | any reason not to use googles? | 21:19 |
riffautae | friskd: no not really, but remember google is under no obligation to keep them running | 21:19 |
friskd | gotcha | 21:19 |

cablop | wayne, i was using this computer, pretty old too, 2GB RAM DDR, Athlon XP 1.9 GHz 32 bit, and 160 GB disk using Gnome or Kubuntu it was ok, i used a nVidia graphics card, to cope with graphics, and it was pretty ok, better than xubuntu or lubuntu | 21:20 |
riffautae | friskd: you can add 8.8.4.4 as well for their other one | 21:20 |
riffautae | friskd: if one goes down it will use the other | 21:20 |

viliny | so please, if anyone can give any tips on how to get gnome back on this thing i'd be more than greatful | 21:20 |
cablop | wayne: it was able to run compiz and the common stable effects of it, so, i think ubuntu or xubuntu would be ok on that machine | 21:20 |
wayne | It only plays resident evil 2 and 3 | 21:21 |
wayne | Its really old, I wanna new one but I have too many bills so I must use this | 21:21 |
lauratika | anyone? | 21:21 |
reisio | wayne: pretty decent, though, you could probably take your pick, but if you like Xubuntu there's no particularly reason to stop using it | 21:21 |
templet | viliny, simple run 11.04 and choose gnome instead of unity -- i think that works ? | 21:21 |
reisio | lauratika: I'm a one | 21:21 |
wayne | Sweet. For some reason Linux Mint wasn't stable on this machine. | 21:21 |

adrellias | i edited the file but will have to look which one i edited | 21:32 |
adrellias | to get my windows partition to boot | 21:32 |
reisio | well, Ubuntu uses GRUB2 is all | 21:32 |
adrellias | 2 seconds | 21:32 |
reisio | and GRUB2 is a little less straightforward than 1 | 21:33 |
adrellias | reisio: with non standard config files | 21:33 |
reisio | adrellias: no they're standard | 21:33 |
adrellias | doesnt look standard in the sense off my centos or gentoo server | 21:33 |
adrellias | but in anycase | 21:33 |
reisio | adrellias: how is your Gentoo different? | 21:33 |
adrellias | will look for which ones i edited | 21:33 |
adrellias | /boot/grub.conf or menu.lst is all i needed to edit with ubuntu that was not the case | 21:33 |
reisio | that's because that's GRUB1 | 21:34 |

adrellias | ahhhhh | 21:34 |

japro | but now it again just boots straight to ubuntu | 21:36 |
japro | argh | 21:36 |
reisio | adrellias: be a little less confusing in Gentoo, because nothing automagickally runs the commands that update the config files, you do it yourself | 21:36 |

adrellias | reisio: yep i had to edit the file myself | 21:37 |

jsstn | question : is there a way to configure three monitors on ubuntu using a display card and uv++ | 21:37 |
reisio | adrellias: I mean for GRUB2, you'll still have to do that, basically, in Gentoo | 21:37 |
japro | do i have to run grub-mkconfig or update-grub to "upload" the config file? | 21:37 |

riffautae | bbbbbbbb: is there a line in dmesg giving it a /dev/sd* ? | 21:45 |
bbbbbbbb | riffautae: no, then i wouldn't ask ^^ | 21:46 |
riffautae | bbbbbbbb: hey you never know, many people here are pretty new | 21:46 |
zykotick9 | jsstn, are you "sure" about that? | 21:46 |
kusznir | Hi all: Can anyone tell me how to force ubuntu 11.04 to to use the intel driver instead of vesa on X? | 21:47 |
kusznir | (preferably the "ubuntu way") | 21:47 |
jsstn | @ Gskellig : Gnome-paint | 21:47 |
Gskellig | thankyou | 21:47 |
vick | how do I get my ubuntu web server to stop swapping? | 21:48 |
bekks | vick: By bying more RAM. | 21:48 |
vick | bekks, I have 768 mb of ram, should be enough for a web server no? | 21:48 |
bekks | vick: Depending on the load - maybe. Maybe not. In your case, it isnt enough, right? :) | 21:49 |
templet | vick, may i pm you ? | 21:49 |
vick | bekks, almost no load, maybe 100 visitors a day in total. | 21:49 |
vick | templet, sure | 21:49 |
[conrad] | vick: That's a pretty loose statement. You have load, the potential for other processes like SQL servers to be using the memory, and others that could be getting in the way. | 21:49 |
bbbbbbbb | here, this is what dmesg tells me: http://paste.ubuntu.com/725770/ | 21:50 |
zykotick9 | cablop, i know it's possible to chroot from 64to32, but i don't think 32to64 is possible (i could be wrong) | 21:50 |
riffautae | vick: what other software do you have running on your server | 21:50 |
t_pol | hey there, i need to make a partial installation but i am getting errors, lots "failed to fetch ... "deb packets, and then i am asked to check my "installation media" could somebody help me through that? | 21:51 |
bekks | zykotick9: cablop: chrooting into 32bit from 64bit is possible. Vice versa isnt. | 21:51 |
[conrad] | Hello everyone. I'm using the latest Ubuntu ( 11.10 )'s OMAP port. I'm trying to change the resolution at the boot level from the default 1280x720, to 1024x768. I've tried issuing what seems to be the proper setenv commands and running mkimage, but the next boot is still at 1280x720. Does anyone have any other suggestions for getting this change in place? | 21:51 |
zykotick9 | bekks, ya - that was my understanding as well | 21:51 |
savid | Is there a way to trigger a script to be executed when a new monitor is plugged in? | 21:51 |
vick | riffautae, just the lamp stack, didn't install anything else. | 21:52 |
savid | I currently don't have a way to make my LCD display the primary screen by default. I always have to set it with XRandr. I'm hoping there's a way to automate that. | 21:52 |
gigastress_ | anyone who can help with luks lvm and lucid???? | 21:52 |
riffautae | vick: X or anything? how do you knwo it is swapping? linux always uses a litle | 21:52 |
vick | no X | 21:53 |
vick | just a pure install on linode VPS | 21:53 |
vick | pure install of ubuntu 10.04 and then lamp stack on top | 21:53 |
riffautae | vick: k how do you know it is swapping? bad performance or is top listing some swap used? | 21:54 |
vick | I get notifications on high IO | 21:54 |
riffautae | vick: from linode? or is this the system logging that | 21:54 |
vick | disk IO rate high | 21:54 |
vick | linode sends automatic notifcations when the disk IO is high | 21:54 |
bobweaver | Hello there I am trying "key word" to make a gtl interface for some perl that I have modified. I am using Glade to do this there is only one button. that is it that needs to react when pressed. I have entered in the command when clicked. and I have run it with glade-preview -f <filename> and it is still not working any tips or hints ? | 21:54 |
bobweaver | gtk * | 21:54 |
vick | and high IO comes from swapping right? | 21:55 |
riffautae | vick: not necissarily though it can | 21:55 |
bbbbbbbb | i don't get my card reader working. this is what dmesg tells me: http://paste.ubuntu.com/725776/ | 21:55 |
Uns0b1ll | how can i install advanced utlities software for my adaptec nic cards on ubuntu ? thanks ! | 21:55 |
vick | riffautae, I think in this case it is ... when I reboot it goes back to being normal. | 21:55 |
=== icon2561 is now known as icon256 | ||
vick | this server used to be 256 and was running fine!! now it's 768. | 21:55 |
vick | should be enough | 21:55 |
riffautae | vick: check top to see if your mem is full and swap has a lot | 21:55 |
vick | riffautae, I just restarted, so I can't do that now. | 21:55 |
Dark_Apostrophe | Hello, how does one disable NotifyOSD notifications? | 21:56 |
Xbert | Apparmor is not showing Firefox as enforced when it running, Firefox is set to be enforced, can anyone help me? | 21:56 |
riffautae | vick: you'll have to monitor the system to see whats doing it then. it might also be a bug in some script you are running on the web server | 21:56 |
vick | riffautae, ok, how do I monitor? I run top and see what processses are consuming most ram? | 21:57 |
riffautae | vick: the correct way to fix trashing on something like that is to find out whats using all your ram and tell it to cut it out | 21:57 |
riffautae | vick: yea | 21:57 |
vick | im gonna try jmeter :) | 21:57 |
riffautae | vick: thrashing* | 21:57 |
B0g4r7 | I ran Update Manager on my one Lucid vm that hasn't been updated in a while, and it downloaded like 280 updated packages, but 9 of the downloads failed with 404 errors. | 21:57 |
riffautae | vick: thats fine i assume, i think there are io watchers but i dont know any | 21:57 |
augustl | hi. How do I create a bootable USB stick when I don't already have ubuntu...? | 21:57 |
B0g4r7 | Is it OK to let it "continue" or will those missing packages cause a problem? | 21:57 |
cablop | what is that ahci thing on a SATA port? | 21:57 |
theshadow | Ubuntu Natty, Dell Vostro 3750, Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) | 21:58 |
Xbert | augustl, use unetbootin on withdows | 21:58 |
theshadow | ack sorry, it's freezing randomly | 21:58 |
riffautae | B0g4r7: no dont force it | 21:58 |
augustl | Xbert: I only have Linux, though | 21:58 |
reisio | augustl: you can use unetbootin in Linux, too | 21:58 |
Xbert | augustl, there is a linux version as well | 21:58 |
olewolf | I've created a Debian package that I'd like to propose for inclusion in one of the Ubuntu repository, probably multiverse. Where do I find information on how to propose a package for Ubuntu? | 21:58 |
augustl | ah, cool | 21:58 |
riffautae | cablop: a replacement protocol thingy over ide style | 21:58 |
B0g4r7 | It says "Some of the packages could not be retrieved from the server(s). Do you want to continue, ignoring these packages?" | 21:58 |
Dark_Apostrophe | How does one disable NotifyOSD notifications? | 21:59 |
skyball | Is there a channel for Ubuntu One ? | 21:59 |
reisio | skyball: #ubuntuone | 21:59 |
B0g4r7 | It's looking for things that don't exist on the server | 21:59 |
B0g4r7 | For instance, http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/e/empathy/empathy_2.30.3-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb | 21:59 |
reisio | skyball: ffr: /msg alis list *ubun*one* | 21:59 |

bobweaver | no one uses Glade areound here ? | 21:59 |
gigastress_ | is there someone who has expereince with lvm fulldiskencryption and lucid 10.4? | 21:59 |
bobweaver | around *( | 21:59 |
riffautae | B0g4r7: I dont know that its a good idea to do that, you might try again later or change which mirror you are using | 22:00 |
lauratika | help a sis... | 22:00 |
bobweaver | gigastress_, I have nbothing on that but would true crypt work ? | 22:00 |
riffautae | bobweaver: true crypt is slower | 22:00 |
jsebean | hello | 22:00 |
B0g4r7 | Well, I had let it run overnight when it initially failed. Now 16h later it's still failing. | 22:00 |
reisio | jsebean: hi | 22:01 |
riffautae | gigastress_: i have done it on arch linux | 22:01 |
bobweaver | riffautae, like I said I have nothing on that :>) | 22:01 |
jsebean | I'm having a problem installing ubuntu 11.10 and it's getting to be frustrating. I've installed Ubuntu (successfully) but when I boot my monitor says the resolution is bad and to use 1440x900 so I can't even see anything. How can I fix this? | 22:01 |
theshadow | Alright, let's try again. I'm having an issue where the laptop will randomly hang. It completely locks up can't even ssh in to look at logs/state http://paste.ubuntu.com/725779/ Can anyone help me figure it out? It started recently, exactly? I don't know but within the last two weeks. | 22:02 |
cablop | how can i install the gnome3 full on ubuntu via cli? | 22:02 |
B0g4r7 | I think I'll take a VM snapshot and then let it proceed. If it dies I can roll back. | 22:02 |
reisio | cablop: what version | 22:02 |
cablop | ubuntu 11.10, gnome 3 | 22:02 |
jsebean | I'm having a problem installing ubuntu 11.10. I've installed Ubuntu (successfully) but when I boot my monitor says the resolution is bad and to use 1440x900 so I can't even see anything. How can I fix this? | 22:02 |
zykotick9 | !nounity | cablop | 22:03 |
ubottu | cablop: 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 | 22:03 |
kusznir | Hi all: Can anyone tell me how to force ubuntu 11.04 to to use the intel xorg driver instead of vesa? | 22:03 |
jsebean | I'm having a problem installing ubuntu 11.10. I've installed Ubuntu (successfully) but when I boot my monitor says the resolution is bad and to use 1440x900 so I can't even see anything. How can I fix this? | 22:03 |
cablop | thanks zykotick9 | 22:03 |
zykotick9 | !patience | jsebean | 22:04 |
ubottu | jsebean: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 22:04 |
bobweaver | I will put togeather a source package maybe some one will look at it for me :>) http://www.mediafire.com/?ac8efsylw4k9b7p | 22:04 |
cablop | for some stupid reason it is not recognizing the swap on the encrypted device, sigh | 22:04 |
jsebean | I'm having a problem installing ubuntu 11.10. I've installed Ubuntu (successfully) but when I boot my monitor says the resolution is bad and to use 1440x900 so I can't even see anything. How can I fix this? | 22:05 |
j3n5 | exit | 22:06 |
zykotick9 | jsebean, stop it. Wait 15-30 minutes before repeating your question | 22:06 |
cablop | anyone here liking gnome 3? | 22:06 |
bobweaver | what the program does is look for flash still in browser and puts it in your Videos folder | 22:06 |
jsebean | @zykotick9 i have been waiting | 22:06 |
reisio | jsebean: hit CTRL+ALT+F2, run DISPLAY=:0 xrandr | 22:07 |
reisio | jsebean: DISPLAY=:0 xrandr -s # to change | 22:07 |
reisio | jsebean: CTRL+ALT+F7 to get back to X | 22:07 |
bbbbbbbb | i don't get my card reader working. this is what dmesg tells me: http://paste.ubuntu.com/725776/ | 22:07 |
augustl | unetbootin doesn't seem to be able to install the bootloader on Arch Linux | 22:08 |
augustl | why aren't there hybrid and/or plain imgs for ubuntu? Kinda strange. | 22:08 |
reisio | augustl: ? | 22:08 |
B0g4r7 | jsebean, How is the monitor connected? vga? dvi? hdmi? | 22:08 |
augustl | reisio: the files on ubuntu.com are only for CDs | 22:09 |
jsebean | B0g4r7: VGA | 22:09 |
cablop | think things this way, i am on Gnome 2.x and moving ahead to another GUI, what is the best option, Gnome3, KDE or XFCE? | 22:09 |
reisio | augustl: no they aren't | 22:09 |
augustl | unetbootin is currently stuck at 33% on "Installing Bootloader" | 22:09 |
zykotick9 | augustl, 11.10 is hybrid | 22:09 |
augustl | ah! | 22:09 |
reisio | augustl: give it time | 22:09 |
augustl | if they're hybrid then I'm all good :) | 22:09 |
augustl | dd happy time | 22:09 |
jsebean | the Ctrl+alt+f2 not working for me either | 22:09 |
augustl | thanks folks | 22:09 |
wayne | Hey I can't get my sound to work on xubuntu | 22:09 |
B0g4r7 | jsebean, is it possible to use DVI or HDMI, or is VGA the only option? | 22:10 |
reisio | jsebean: how about CTRL+ALT+PrntScrn+k | 22:10 |
jsebean | B0g4r7: hi afraid not | 22:10 |
jsebean | reisio: sorry | 22:10 |
wayne | Anybody know anything about xubuntu | 22:10 |
reisio | wayne: yes | 22:11 |
xdhausx | anybody has been tried bodhi linux here? | 22:11 |
zykotick9 | wayne, i'd bet the people in #xubuntu do | 22:11 |
wayne | Its not muted I dunno whats going on | 22:11 |
bbbbbbbb | i don't get my CF card mounted. this is what dmesg tells me about the reader: http://paste.ubuntu.com/725776/ | 22:11 |
zykotick9 | !ot > xdhausx | 22:11 |
ubottu | xdhausx, please see my private message | 22:11 |
bobweaver | Is there something that I can use to make a gui applications that is wrintin in bash ? | 22:11 |
augustl | who's responsible for the web page on http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download ? That site doesn't say they're hybrid images | 22:11 |
bobweaver | or made for bash I should say | 22:12 |
jsebean | im not sure what's going on :S | 22:12 |
windparadise | hello, pls I am in trouble, can you please assist? I am trying to set up a control panel which requires a valid fqdn. meanwhile when I typed hostname --fqdn I had berylhost.com instead of expecting to have mx.berylhost.com what should I do please ? | 22:12 |
wayne | Doesn't seem possible to use sound | 22:12 |
B0g4r7 | jsebean, it sounds like the monitor is being driven wrong by the video card. What kind of monitor is it, and what kind of video card? | 22:12 |
cablop | wayne: xubuntu uses xfce that is based on gtk like gnome is, so if your poor performance is due to graphics it is not going to help too much, run gnome with metacity instead of other things and it will be the same in your machine | 22:12 |
nsl | hi | 22:12 |
cablop | wayne: anyway if you insist on moving to a lihter GUI then try LXDE instead | 22:13 |
jsebean | B0g4r7: Dell monitor and Nvidia | 22:13 |
ActionParsnip | wayne: can you give the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh; chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh; ./alsa-info.sh | 22:13 |
reisio | bobweaver: #bash would know | 22:13 |
chaospsychex | what is the package name of ubuntu 3? | 22:13 |
Dark_Apostrophe | How does one disable NotifyOSD notifications? | 22:13 |
zykotick9 | !nounity | chaospsychex | 22:13 |
ubottu | chaospsychex: 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 | 22:13 |
[_miT_] | Dark_Apostrophe: why would you want to do that? lol | 22:14 |
glebihan | bobweaver, depends on what you need exactly | 22:14 |
ActionParsnip | chaospsychex: there is no ubuntu 3 | 22:14 |
ActionParsnip | Dark_Apostrophe: for what app? | 22:14 |
Dark_Apostrophe | mit: because they're annoying :P | 22:14 |
nsl | i just installed ubuntu 11.10 and im reading guide how to move x, minimise and maximise buttons to the right like on wihdows... it says to press alt+f2 and to write gconf-editor, but i cant open it :S | 22:14 |
[_miT_] | Dark_Apostrophe: awwww | 22:14 |
zykotick9 | ActionParsnip, i assumed chaospsychex must mean gnome3 | 22:14 |
B0g4r7 | jsebean, if you can switch it to a lower resolution it may become happy. ...I don't know how to do that myself, blind. | 22:14 |
Dark_Apostrophe | Across the board, the lot. Though if there is an app I can adjust them selectively, that might work, too | 22:14 |
ActionParsnip | nsl: try dconf-editor | 22:14 |
jsebean | B0g4r7: I'm not even sure if it's booting | 22:15 |
wayne | http://pastebin.com/CMvY2dyK <<< | 22:15 |
[_miT_] | i just hit my knee so hard on the desk > < | 22:15 |
jsebean | B0g4r7: ive been searching around | 22:15 |
ActionParsnip | Dark_Apostrophe: you may be able to remove notify-osd package, not sure what else it will remove | 22:15 |
nsl | still nothing | 22:15 |
Tunix | How do I boot into a gnome enviroment in . instead of unity???\ | 22:15 |
B0g4r7 | jsebean, what if you use crtl-alt-f1 to switch to text mode? | 22:15 |
reisio | Tunix: what version | 22:15 |
=== jbuchanan__ is now known as jbuchanan | ||
=== jbuchanan is now known as jbuchanan09 | ||
=== jbuchanan09 is now known as jbuchanan_ | ||
Tunix | 11.10 | 22:15 |
Tunix | reisio | 22:15 |
=== jbuchanan_ is now known as jbuchanan | ||
nsl | it's like run application isn't working for me | 22:16 |
reisio | Tunix: you have to install gnome-shell / gnome-tweak-tool / gnome-panel | 22:16 |
ActionParsnip | chaospsychex: did you mean Gnome3? If so, what is the outut of: lsb_release -sc | 22:16 |
=== geek is now known as Guest2685 | ||
reisio | Tunix: then it'll be an option from the cog next to your name on the login screen | 22:16 |
jsebean | B0g4r7: computer acts dead, no hdd activity, nothing, simple message on monitor Cannot display this video mode use 1440x900 60hz and no buttons does everything | 22:16 |
Tunix | thank you ill dpo that now | 22:16 |
Tunix | do* | 22:16 |
jsebean | B0g4r7: anything*/everything | 22:16 |
glebihan | Tunix, if by gnome you mean gnome2, you can't | 22:16 |
Tunix | sooo | 22:17 |
Tunix | Gnome 3? | 22:17 |
reisio | Tunix: what I said | 22:17 |
reisio | Tunix: you might feel the same way about it as you do about Unity, though | 22:17 |
Tunix | got it ill open snaptic now | 22:17 |
wayne | Should I install another linux ? | 22:17 |
reisio | wayne: why? | 22:17 |
pp7 | NO!! | 22:17 |
Tunix | reisio: Should I just stick with unity then? | 22:17 |
Tunix | I really dont like it | 22:17 |
wayne | why ? What? | 22:18 |
reisio | Tunix: I'm personally not a big fan of using things I don't like | 22:18 |
pp7 | Tunix: what's wrong with unity? | 22:18 |
glebihan | Tunix, try gnome-shell then you'll see if you like it better | 22:18 |
B0g4r7 | jsebean, you can try changing the boot options to boot into verbose text mode to see what's going on. Hold the shift key on boot to get to the GRUB menu. Edit the options there and remove the "quiet" and "splash" options. | 22:18 |
nsl | shit now i did something and i dont see x, minimise buttons if window isn't maximised lol :S | 22:18 |
reisio | Tunix: if it's old GNOME you want, your options are these: install an older version of Ubuntu and hope that before it hits EOL GNOME 2 will be maintained again, or GNOME 3 will be transformable into being like GNOME 2, or use Xfce | 22:19 |
reisio | Tunix: or you could personally take on making GNOME 3 be like GNOME 2, of course | 22:19 |
ActionParsnip | wayne: if you give the output of the command I gave, we may be able to resolve your sound issue | 22:19 |
Tunix | reisio: Can I install Xfce like I would Gnome-shell? | 22:19 |
reisio | Tunix: yes: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce | 22:19 |
wayne | http://pastebin.com/CMvY2dyK | 22:19 |
ActionParsnip | Tunix: yes | 22:19 |
reisio | Tunix: technically it's just the xubuntu-desktop package, but if you don't remove the other things your menus and the like end up being confusing | 22:20 |
wayne | ^ I did the pastebin thing | 22:20 |
IsmAvatar | Hey guys, can I get a little sound help? I'm trying to copy over the LiveCD sound settings to my working install, because my working install plays static, but the LiveCD doesn't. Where do I find these settings? | 22:20 |
reisio | wayne: sound isn't working? | 22:20 |
Tunix | reisio: It looks like the commands you sent me do all that | 22:20 |
reisio | IsmAvatar: did you try lowering PCM? | 22:20 |
ActionParsnip | wayne: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/ppa; sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ricotz/unstable; sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 22:20 |
reisio | Tunix: yes precisely | 22:20 |
ActionParsnip | wayne: source: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure | 22:21 |
ActionParsnip | wayne: did you ever see that page? | 22:21 |
daniel_ | i have just installed ubuntu (dual boot, i also have an arch install) and my bootloader is all messed up | 22:21 |
IsmAvatar | reisio: yes. It lowered the volume, but the speaker volume knob couldn't compensate sufficiently. LiveCD, however, works perfectly, even with PCM at 100%. | 22:21 |
wayne | I think so | 22:22 |
daniel_ | should be on its own partition /dev/sda1 (/boot) | 22:22 |
daniel_ | i have ubuntu /dev/sda5 and arch /dev/sda3 | 22:22 |
ActionParsnip | wayne: then you would have added the PPA and got a significantly later Alsa version which can help lots | 22:22 |
daniel_ | can someone tell me how to reinstall grub so that it detects these two and brings up the menu? i managed to boot this time from the grub command prompt | 22:22 |
chaospsychex | i meant the gnome 3 desktop-standard | 22:22 |
wayne | still no sounds, I think I'll just pick another linux | 22:23 |
chaospsychex | how do i install it | 22:23 |
chaospsychex | not gnome 2 | 22:23 |
chaospsychex | gnome 3 | 22:23 |
wayne | What linux is the best for this 2003 pc | 22:23 |
reisio | wayne: any | 22:23 |
reisio | chaospsychex: gnome-shell / gnome-tweak-tool / gnome-panel | 22:23 |
reisio | Tunix: oh and there's | 22:23 |
wayne | Not really I've found Mint to be rather slow | 22:24 |
wayne | and unstable | 22:24 |
Tunix | reisio: Getting errors with that command | 22:24 |
glebihan | reisio, no need for gnome-panel | 22:24 |
reisio | Tunix: gnome-session-fallback | 22:24 |
Tunix | whats that? | 22:24 |
chaospsychex | i installed gnome-shell how do i boot into it | 22:24 |
Tunix | A window management system? | 22:24 |
reisio | glebihan: no need for a lot of things | 22:24 |
reisio | chaospsychex: log out, hit the cog next to your name | 22:24 |
glebihan | reisio, I meant that gnome3 does not use gnome-panel | 22:24 |
BetaArc | Hi... questionm, my Intel N570 Dual core cpu is getting hot.. like 76C.. I have watched some streams, etc. | 22:24 |
reisio | Tunix: supposed to make GNOME 3 more like GNOME 2, or something | 22:24 |
BetaArc | Is this normal | 22:24 |
chaospsychex | reisio: and choose which one? | 22:24 |
chaospsychex | gnome? | 22:24 |
chaospsychex | that is gnome 2 | 22:25 |
reisio | glebihan: and I meant that there's no need for a lot of things | 22:25 |
reisio | chaospsychex: what Ubuntu version? | 22:25 |
glebihan | reisio, but why telling him to install a package he surely won't need ? | 22:25 |
napalm54 | Has anyone tried out bumblebee on ubuntu for nvidia optimus laptops? | 22:25 |
IsmAvatar | So, where do I find the sound settings to copy over from LiveCD to working install? | 22:25 |
reisio | glebihan: he doesn't need any of them | 22:25 |

Tunix | reisio: Im not seeing Gnome Panel | 22:26 |
BetaArc | napalm54: yes on Archlinux | 22:26 |
ActionParsnip | chaospsychex: press ALT+F2 and run: gnome-shell --replace | 22:26 |
reisio | Tunix: where? | 22:26 |
napalm54 | Ok cool, I been having some issues with using the Intel HD 3000 gpu, or atleast that is what I think the problem lies | 22:26 |
Tunix | reisio: You told me to install Gnome shell / gnome tweak tool and gnome-panel im only seeing the first two in the package manager | 22:27 |
Tunix | or "software center" | 22:27 |
napalm54 | Many things programs that use OpenGL say that I do not have opengl | 22:27 |
BetaArc | napalm54: what is the problem? | 22:27 |

reisio | Tunix: what version of Ubuntu? | 22:27 |
Tunix | 11.10 | 22:27 |
napalm54 | I was wondering if using Bumblebee would help any | 22:27 |
BetaArc | you mean on wine? | 22:27 |
Tunix | Gnome shell and tweak tool are now installed | 22:27 |
reisio | Tunix: well it's there, perhaps use apt-get install instead | 22:27 |
reisio | Tunix: can try those first | 22:27 |
napalm54 | Like launching Stellarium | 22:28 |

iceroot | !nounity | chaospsychex | 22:36 |
ubottu | chaospsychex: 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 | 22:36 |

the3nigm4 | Guest25995: why? | 22:49 |
azert | or are you selling your ext4 ? | 22:49 |
azert | i m just a simple user | 22:49 |
histo | the3nigm4: netbook people might like unity | 22:49 |
iceroot | azert: there is no reason to not use ext4 | 22:49 |
histo | azert: use what you want. | 22:49 |
azert | don't tell that i lie w/o | 22:49 |
stevecam | does anyone else think ubuntu 11.10 is buggy? | 22:49 |
histo | !best | azert | 22:49 |
ubottu | azert: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 22:49 |
azert | knowing what i try explaing | 22:49 |
chaospsychex | do any of those derivitaes use the gnome 3 shell by default? | 22:50 |
ActionParsnip | Guest25995: you are also running your IRC client as root which is a REALLY bad idea | 22:50 |
iceroot | azert: saying "dont use ext4 because its taking much more space" is a lie | 22:50 |
the3nigm4 | histo: i only know one guy that has a netbook and uses unity, and thats because hes to ignorant to know how to remove it | 22:50 |
IsmAvatar | Hey, quick sound question: Where do I find the sound settings to copy over from LiveCD to working install? | 22:50 |
histo | ActionParsnip: not on a live cd it's not | 22:50 |
azert | i just made a test | 22:50 |
ActionParsnip | azert: any journalized file system will waste space for the journal. The jounal is no bigger size for size over ext3 | 22:50 |
chaospsychex | is unity going to be used on 12.04 ? | 22:50 |
histo | ActionParsnip: he's booted bt5 from a live cd and joined irc | 22:50 |
iceroot | chaospsychex: yes | 22:50 |
histo | chaospsychex: yes | 22:50 |
chaospsychex | omg | 22:50 |
the3nigm4 | chaospsychex: probably, but i hope not | 22:51 |
histo | chaospsychex: just use fall back or install gnome-shell | 22:51 |
ActionParsnip | histo: sure, the root account could be infiltrated and the local partitions accessed ;) | 22:51 |
azert | hey do a test right now | 22:51 |
azert | you will see the difference | 22:51 |
iceroot | chaospsychex: feel free to use gnome3, kde, xfce4, lxde | 22:51 |
chaospsychex | gnome classic is better than unity | 22:51 |
Daekdroom | It seems Ubuntu doesn't recognize my monitor's EDID, so I can't change its resolution through xrandr and passing video=1920x1080 to the boot only changes the terminal resolution. Any tips? | 22:51 |
pycoderf | hey all how would i route traffic on ubuntu server from one nic to the other | 22:51 |
iceroot | !who | azert | 22:51 |
ubottu | azert: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 22:51 |
Grundoko | I'm actually kind of glad I screwed my system. Been looking for an excuse to try out Xubuntu 11.10 | 22:51 |
azert | what is the gain for me liying here iceroot | 22:51 |
glebihan | chaospsychex, it will be the default but you can use whatever desktop environment you want | 22:51 |
logo | hello guys | 22:51 |
bekks | pycoderf: By setting up a router. | 22:51 |
histo | Daekdroom: what video card? | 22:51 |
ActionParsnip | azert: can you give a link to backup your claim? | 22:51 |
iceroot | azert: you dont know the technical details, so your statement is wrong | 22:52 |
histo | !ot | azert iceroot | 22:52 |
ubottu | azert iceroot: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 22:52 |
Daekdroom | histo, ATI HD5430 | 22:52 |
pycoderf | bekks: cant a route be setup since its a server between the two or use the gateway of one interface for the second nic | 22:52 |
iceroot | histo: no need for that | 22:52 |
azert | okay i m not an expert | 22:52 |
histo | Daekdroom: did you install ati drivers? | 22:52 |
azert | i m agree | 22:52 |

bekks | pycoderf: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Router | 22:52 |
chaospsychex | where is 'synaptic' in 11.10 ? | 22:52 |
azert | but can do a demo | 22:52 |
iceroot | azert: so the statement about ext4 is wrong | 22:52 |
histo | iceroot: yes there is you guys arguing over ext4 vs. ext3 is offtopic | 22:52 |
Daekdroom | histo, It's not about the drivers. The issue is not limited to linux, however I can work around it on Windows. | 22:52 |
azert | very simple format your pen drive from fat32 to ext4 8GB | 22:53 |
iceroot | histo: ext4 is of course not offtopic here | 22:53 |
histo | Daekdroom: I would gander that it maybe driver related in linux. | 22:53 |
ActionParsnip | chaospsychex: its not default installed, it is in the repos though | 22:53 |
azert | you can see the difference | 22:53 |
iceroot | azert: and should we know use fat32 to install ubuntu on it? | 22:53 |
logo | how i start loic on bt5? | 22:53 |
Daekdroom | histo, it is not. Drivers are alright. It's a cable/monitor problem, but I can't test them, so I prefer setting my resolution manually for the meantime. | 22:53 |
ActionParsnip | azert: yes, that's the journal. Which you will get with Ext3 as well | 22:53 |
histo | !backtrack > logo | 22:53 |
ubottu | logo, please see my private message | 22:53 |
iceroot | azert: and what about files bigger then 4gb on fat32? (or was it 2gb?) | 22:53 |
Dark_Apostrophe | How would I set up 4 different Firefox profiles to all have their own separate icon in the dock? | 22:53 |
ActionParsnip | azert: fat32 doesn't have a journal but is slower and not nearly as robust as ext4 | 22:53 |
geomaster | logo: you may want to consider something less lame than loic | 22:53 |
gundy | iceroot, 4G | 22:54 |
azert | but for ext4 it taking 2GB | 22:54 |
Squiffy | lost_the_game <3 | 22:54 |
azert | that's too much | 22:54 |
lost_the_game | Squiffy: i <3 u moar | 22:54 |
the3nigm4 | so how difficult is it to set up your own irc channel? would it be worth the time if there were never going to be more than 10 people? | 22:54 |
ActionParsnip | azert: then make the journal smaller... not hard | 22:54 |
azert | comparing others | 22:54 |
iceroot | Dark_Apostrophe: create 4 launchers which will call firefox -P profile | 22:54 |
Squiffy | kick niles|iPod! HE SPAMS | 22:54 |
lordjj | the executables Code::blocks is producing are denying permission to be run. I have to manually do chmod +x to be able to run them in a terminal. The result is that I can't easily debug programs in code::blocks. Why is this happening? | 22:54 |
histo | Daekdroom: the opensource drivers may not support the resolution you are trying. | 22:54 |
Daekdroom | histo, they do. | 22:54 |
iceroot | azert: the journal is of course not 2gb when your drive is 8gb | 22:54 |
azert | my question is simply why by default acting like that ? taking more space ? | 22:55 |
Dark_Apostrophe | iceroot: How do I create a launcher? (Sorry, while I have used Linux for ages, I'm new to Unity) | 22:55 |
ActionParsnip | azert: format it ext2 and the space will be usable as Ext2 doesn't have a journal. But the device storage will fragment | 22:55 |
stevecam | IIRC, firefox will be removing the profile function and enabling it through a plugin | 22:55 |
iceroot | Dark_Apostrophe: sorry i am not using unity | 22:55 |
ActionParsnip | azert: its the journal | 22:55 |
Dark_Apostrophe | Oh, then what were you referring to? | 22:55 |
iceroot | azert: you can disable journal on ext3/4 | 22:55 |
pycoderf | why dont i have a /etc/default/dhcp3-server file when i freshly installed dhcp3-server | 22:55 |
iceroot | azert: but there is a good reason for the journal | 22:55 |
chaospsychex | Dark_Apostrophe: remove unity is first thing | 22:55 |
glebihan | the3nigm4, it takes no more than a few minutes, but you should ask on #freenode about that | 22:55 |
Daekdroom | histo, it's 1920x1080@60hz. It used to work alright until this EDID issue, and reinstalling didn't fix it, so I have to set the resolution manually and xrandr doesn't let me. | 22:55 |
logo | any can help me ? | 22:55 |
ActionParsnip | azert: the journal is what stops linux file systems fragmenting and slowing | 22:56 |
azert | the maximum capacity for ext2 AFAIK is 4GB | 22:56 |
iceroot | pycoderf: is "dpkg -L dhcp3-server" showing that there must a file like that | 22:56 |
Dark_Apostrophe | chaospsychex: Nah.. it's either that or KDE (GNOME is out of the question), and I'm fine with either. | 22:56 |
iceroot | azert: stop it please | 22:56 |
Squiffy | My friend said he got arrested using Ubuntu? | 22:56 |
iceroot | azert: you dont know anything about what you are talking | 22:56 |

Squiffy | Can someone tell me why? | 22:56 |
pycoderf | iceroot: no | 22:56 |

stevecam | bekks, how do i change all the fonts? | 23:13 |
geomaster | lordjj: hmm, i don't know what can that be. what permissions does the file have when compiled (do a `stat your-executable-file`) | 23:13 |

IsmAvatar | ActionParsnip: first thing I notice is that the filenames differ. They all start with some hex - the same for all files on the LiveCD, and the same for all files on the install, but different between the two. LiveCD starts with f4a1, install starts with 0982 | 23:18 |
iceroot | Dark_Apostrophe: just look if the first address is your nameserver you normally use | 23:18 |
Dark_Apostrophe | http://pastebin.ca/2092835 | 23:18 |
IsmAvatar | I guess I could back them up, copy over the liveCD counterparts, and see if it fixes it | 23:18 |
iceroot | Dark_Apostrophe: invalid | 23:19 |
Dark_Apostrophe | iceroot: I usually don't tinker with nameservers on my own, leave that up to the OS (if there were reasons to do so, such as subverting DNS censorship attempts, I might, but there aren't to my knowledge) | 23:19 |
Dark_Apostrophe | iceroot: Alright... the nameserver's entry is outdated? | 23:19 |

iceroot | Dark_Apostrophe: you just have to look if it is the default dns you are using | 23:21 |
Dark_Apostrophe | So, what do you suggest? I switch to OpenDNS or something like that? | 23:21 |
iceroot | Dark_Apostrophe: can you try a different browser? | 23:22 |
Dark_Apostrophe | Have no others installed that the moment | 23:22 |

iceroot | Dark_Apostrophe: and you are using https://facebook.com directly? | 23:23 |
Dark_Apostrophe | yes | 23:23 |

Dark_Apostrophe | yes | 23:24 |
Dark_Apostrophe | Serial no. ending in DB:E6 | 23:24 |
iceroot | Dark_Apostrophe: then it seems that "https://facebook.com" is not using the real facebook-servers, maybe a wrong/old dns-entry | 23:25 |
Dark_Apostrophe | Hum... so I should try switching DNS servers, then | 23:25 |
iceroot | Dark_Apostrophe: is nslookup www.facebook.com 69.171.228.13 as ip? | 23:25 |
Dark_Apostrophe | Address: 69.171.229.16 | 23:26 |
iceroot | Dark_Apostrophe: my dns is offering me a different ip with the correct cert | 23:26 |
iceroot | Dark_Apostrophe: so i guess your dns is directing you to a wrong/faked facebook-server | 23:27 |
Dark_Apostrophe | Alright... Does Ubuntu have its own nameserver configuration system of some kind? | 23:27 |
iceroot | Dark_Apostrophe: you are using dhcp? | 23:27 |
Dark_Apostrophe | Yep | 23:27 |
iceroot | Dark_Apostrophe: then its just reading the dns from your router/isp | 23:28 |
iceroot | Dark_Apostrophe: cat /etc/resolv.conf | 23:28 |

MeXTuX | I have a GeForce 8400 GS and Ubuntu 11.04 installed. I just installed 2.6.38-12 and the pc hangs during splash screen. If I choose 2.6.38-11 the Pc boots normally. I installed the nvidia propietary driver (NVIDIA-Linux-x86-285.05.09.run). Any idea?? | 23:28 |
Dark_Apostrophe | nameserver 192.168.0.1 <-- Yep, router. | 23:28 |
escott | MeXTuX, did you manually install it or was it installed by jockey | 23:29 |
Zoohouse | Hello guys | 23:29 |
Loptr | Dark_Apostrophe, looks like someome dns spoofed you | 23:29 |
MeXTuX | The driver or the kernel??? | 23:29 |
Zoohouse | What would happen if I were to completely remove python 2.7? | 23:29 |
escott | MeXTuX, the driver | 23:29 |
iceroot | Dark_Apostrophe: and "nslookup www.facebook.com" is showing 192.168.0.1 as dns? | 23:29 |
escott | MeXTuX, presumably you arent building your own kernels and that is coming from apt | 23:30 |
Dark_Apostrophe | yes | 23:30 |
iceroot | Zoohouse: if there is no other python installed i guess a broken system | 23:30 |
Zoohouse | What would happen if I were to completely remove python 2.7 from Ubuntu 11.10? Would Unity stop working on reboot? | 23:30 |
histo | MeXTuX: reinstall the nvidia driver on .12 | 23:30 |
ActionParsnip | MeXTuX: uninstall the driver then reboot to use the open driver | 23:30 |
Zoohouse | ekk | 23:30 |
Loptr | Dark_Apostrophe, is the problem only with facebook? | 23:30 |
Hamder | Anyone got the time to help out with installing Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900 drivers? | 23:30 |

ActionParsnip | MeXTuX: you can get the 285 driver using the xorg edgers updates ppa | 23:30 |
iceroot | Zoohouse: yes, not removing python | 23:30 |
Dark_Apostrophe | Loptr: Haven't tried any others | 23:30 |
Zoohouse | What if I already did? | 23:31 |
ActionParsnip | MeXTuX: not the xorg edgers ppa itself, they have a slightly stabler branch | 23:31 |
iceroot | Zoohouse: reinstall python | 23:31 |
iceroot | Zoohouse: and dont reboot | 23:31 |
MeXTuX | So everytime a install a new kernel I will need to reinstall the driver?? | 23:31 |
iceroot | Zoohouse: before it is fixed | 23:31 |
arooni-mobile__ | hi folks; running 11.10 on lenovo t420. suspend will bring the computer back; but all programs will have closed!!! how can i fix? | 23:31 |
Dark_Apostrophe | Loptr: Just tried a different site on both computers, this time they got the same cert | 23:31 |

Hamder | Help Pls. I need to run WoW on ubuntu but can't due to generic weak drivers. | 23:32 |
ActionParsnip | MeXTuX: no, if you use the packages instead of the driver from the nvidia site it will do it for you | 23:32 |
iceroot | Zoohouse: how you removed python? | 23:32 |
iceroot | Zoohouse: with apt-get? | 23:33 |
Zoohouse | Synaptic iceroot | 23:33 |
ActionParsnip | MeXTuX: you will need to do it each time with the manual install as you have done | 23:33 |
iceroot | Zoohouse: ok then just reinstalling python is enough | 23:33 |
Zoohouse | ok | 23:33 |
martian | My /boot is at 90%. Is there any potential harm in simply destroying old vmlinuz, vmcoreinfo, System.map, initrd.img, config, and abi's? | 23:33 |
iceroot | Zoohouse: it will pull everything back needed | 23:33 |
ActionParsnip | MeXTuX: the packages add dkms data which will generate the module each time, you have bypassed this | 23:33 |
iceroot | martian: remove old kernels with apt-get | 23:33 |
Dark_Apostrophe | I'll be back soon, gonna try something - thanks for your help so far, folks :) | 23:33 |

martian | iceroot: nifty! thanks | 23:34 |
iceroot | martian: just dont remove the metapackage only old kernels (packages with versions) | 23:34 |
ActionParsnip | MeXTuX: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install nvidia-current and you'll be fine and have no issues. Why did you use the manual method in the first place?? | 23:35 |

iceroot | theMAVERICK: both | 23:49 |
iceroot | theMAVERICK: doesnt matter if you use synaptic, software-center,apt-get or aptitude, all of them are only installing sec-updates (but asking if you want 11.04) | 23:50 |
iceroot | theMAVERICK: so a normal "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" will NOT change your ubuntu-version and is recommend for the security updates | 23:51 |
