| Stelpa | ActionParsnip? | 00:04 |
| friskd | iceroot: vs just having the name server domains in it? | 00:04 |
| iceroot | friskd: because that is the way dhcp is working | 00:05 |

| iceroot | friskd: dont provide dns through dhcp or use static ip configs | 00:06 |
| iceroot | friskd: or not using network-manager | 00:06 |

| SmJ | quixotedon: also, how do I start that from console? | 02:31 |
| bjorkintosh | robinsh, you might be better off designating a special space for sharing. | 02:31 |
| quixotedon | dash (windows button) type "disk usage analyzer" | 02:31 |
| quixotedon | smj: you can also try "disk utility" to check your hard disk | 02:32 |
| dr-willis | robinsh: i link videos to /media/eindows/videos yes.. | 02:32 |
| bjorkintosh | ActionParsnip, and then rerun pulseaudio? | 02:33 |
| SmJ | quixotedon: you're not being very helpful, or maybe I'm just too tired | 02:33 |
| robinsh | bjorkintosh: i see what you mean but special spaces are a pain to deal with on windows | 02:33 |
| napalm54 | Why does it seem so hard to get the cursor in the right spot to change the size of a window? | 02:33 |

| bjorkintosh | what wasn't working, was sound from firefox. | 02:36 |
| etzerd | how can I install drivers to play dvd, flash player etc | 02:36 |
| ActionParsnip | bjorkintosh: in flash you mean? | 02:36 |
| pnorman_desktop | tentative theory on my crashes: they occur on heavy io on drives connected to the sata card. any thoughts on how to test this? | 02:36 |

| bjorkintosh | ActionParsnip, yeah. your fix worked though. | 02:37 |
| bjorkintosh | thanks a bunch. | 02:37 |
| ActionParsnip | etzerd: if you enable the partner repo you can install adobe-flashplugin | 02:37 |
| bjorkintosh | so i guess it's a similar solution with unity... i need to get rid of the configs and restart it. | 02:37 |
| ActionParsnip | bjorkintosh: np man | 02:37 |
| quixotedon | etzerd: the simplest way is (if you have internet connection), try playing the file then ubuntu will search for the right codec/missing plugin for playing it | 02:37 |

| edbian | bjorkintosh, ok thanks | 02:46 |
| bjorkintosh | edbian, it takes some getting used to. | 02:46 |
| edbian | Mr_Whiskey, does gnome-shell do this? | 02:46 |
| Mr_Whiskey | edbian: Do what? | 02:46 |
| ActionParsnip | JokesOnYou77: did you safetly remove the device before you pulled it out? | 02:46 |
| edbian | bjorkintosh, I use arch with awesome on my other system | 02:46 |
| bjorkintosh | ah i see. | 02:46 |
| * Mr_Whiskey is an Arch user as well | 02:46 | |
| edbian | Mr_Whiskey, mac quicksilver functionality | 02:46 |
| edbian | :D | 02:46 |
| JokesOnYou77 | edbian: Gnome-Do might be able to do that. You may also be able to configure Launchy to do that for you, Launchy can do almost anything | 02:46 |
| jmcantrell | is there some way to remove the status portion of the message menu? | 02:46 |
| bjorkintosh | i had an arch setup once. | 02:46 |
| don_quixote | edbian: i guess 'dash' button really works the same but might be only limited to apps and files | 02:46 |
| Mr_Whiskey | edbian: I am not sure if it does or not. | 02:46 |
| edbian | JokesOnYou77, Thanks :) | 02:47 |
| JokesOnYou77 | ActionParsnip: ...probably not. But I have Safely Removed it and re-plugged it since... | 02:47 |
| don_quixote | Don_Rad: good luck! | 02:47 |
| ActionParsnip | JokesOnYou77: what does dmesg say when you plug it in? | 02:47 |
| don_quixote | JokesOnYou77: try rebooting | 02:47 |
| sanjid | For some reason, banshee cannot play aac files. I've tested it with AAC's that are for songs released a month ago, and consequently without DRM, and there's no luck. I have installed the ubuntu-restricted-extras package. It worked while in 11.04, and ceased working upon upgrade to 11.10. I searched the documentation, and the only instructions are for ubuntu 6.10 and thus unlikely to help. Any ideas on how to fix this? | 02:48 |
| === l is now known as Guest82342 | ||
| ActionParsnip | JokesOnYou77: please remember to ALWAYS use the safetly remove feature. It is there for a reason | 02:48 |
| JokesOnYou77 | ActionParsnip: dmesg? | 02:48 |
| ActionParsnip | JokesOnYou77: its a terminal command. run: dmesg | tail -n 10 after inserting the stick | 02:48 |
| don_quixote | ActionParsnip: what's the difference between 'eject' and safely remove?? | 02:48 |
| ActionParsnip | JokesOnYou77: have you also tried manually mounting the partition | 02:48 |
| ActionParsnip | don_quixote: I believe saftely remove unmounts stuff as well. Not sure tbh | 02:49 |
| JokesOnYou77 | ActionParsnip: dmseg is just giving a bunch of messages from the g15daemon, nothing else | 02:49 |
| bjorkintosh | my waste basket, home, and folder icons went missing the other day. | 02:50 |
| SynJu | hey all.. i know this is the wrong place to ask.. but i dont know where else to ask.. i need a free dedicated host to run a small script continuously which runs a script on another server.. can anyone help a guy out? | 02:50 |
| bjorkintosh | also the toolbar died. | 02:50 |
| bjorkintosh | any way to restore the icons? | 02:50 |
| t2mahesh | can some one tell me a best laptop for ubuntu with i5 processor | 02:51 |
| bjorkintosh | SynJu, free? why don't you run it yourself? | 02:51 |
| pcg | I have a process that opens a tcp listening socket, accepts a connection, and then the process is forcably killed, obviously not gracefully terminating the connection. At this point if I try to restablish a listening socket on the same port it fails. Is there a way to forcably clear the zombie connections on that port, and free the port for listening again? (aside from waiting a couple or so minutes after which it works again) | 02:51 |
| bjorkintosh | t2mahesh, a laptop with i5 processor which you like very much. | 02:51 |
| SynJu | my computer isnt always on.. was kinda hoping someone had a dedicated host i could use.. its a really small script.. | 02:51 |
| t2mahesh | not all laptops are listed on ubuntu tested hardware area | 02:52 |
| bjorkintosh | SynJu, why not run the script on the 'another' server itself? | 02:52 |
| Thelmaria | SynJu: Any reason you can't just run cron on the other server? | 02:52 |
| ActionParsnip | JokesOnYou77: does the device and its partitions show in the output of: sudo fdisk -l | 02:52 |
| JokesOnYou77 | ok, going to try a reboot. Lesson learned, always Safely Remove :P | 02:52 |
| bjorkintosh | why does it have to be executed outside of it? | 02:52 |
| bjorkintosh | JokesOnYou77, JokesOnYou. | 02:52 |
| t2mahesh | and the system configs are not listed, m interested in VAIO. if any one can suggest a good model | 02:53 |
| SynJu | the other server is as much as i can afford.. i cant afford dedicated hosting in south africa and i dont have a credit card either... | 02:53 |
| SynJu | :/ | 02:53 |
| bjorkintosh | t2mahesh, it shouldn't matter too much i think. | 02:53 |
| ActionParsnip | t2mahesh: the ones from system76 come preloaded with it :) | 02:53 |
| JokesOnYou77 | ActionParsnip: /dev/sdb does show up there | 02:53 |
| bjorkintosh | SynJu, what precisely is the nature of the task? | 02:53 |
| qin | t2mahesh: vgn-fw11m (all vgn family) 64bit, maverick, flawless. | 02:53 |
| JokesOnYou77 | bjorkintosh: hahaha... | 02:53 |
| bjorkintosh | can't the original server's processes be modified? | 02:53 |
| ActionParsnip | JokesOnYou77: try a reboot with the device inserted | 02:53 |

| edbian | Android_The_Grea, It will only wipe the home partition if you tell ubuntu to 'partition' the home partition | 03:20 |
| dr_willis | ypu can twll the installer to not format /home | 03:20 |
| AndroidLoverInSF | good | 03:20 |
| edbian | Android_The_Grea, What you're trying to do (use an existing home) is quite common | 03:20 |

| djslim | EPops, I used ext3 | 04:14 |
| CarlFK | EPops: the default (ext4 I think) | 04:14 |
| djslim | or that | 04:14 |
| qin | EPops: ext4 or ext3 | 04:14 |
| EPops | I am new to Ubuntu and Linux in general and want to set up a home server, and read about XFS vs ext3, I read XFS is for larger files. Should I consider that as well for using bittorrent and streaming videos to a PS3, or ext3/4 will be sufficient? | 04:16 |
| djslim | hardware has a big factor in that | 04:17 |
| jeaton | i have an older iphone that doesnt mount itself like my newer ones do | 04:17 |
| djslim | not just the filiing system | 04:17 |
| jeaton | any idea how I go about doing it? | 04:17 |

| koala` | hi, I tried to get xchat from http://www.uplinklabs.net/projects/xchat-aqua/ | 04:18 |
| koala` | but got an error 404 | 04:18 |
| koala` | anyone know where to get Xchat Aqua? | 04:18 |
| ActionParsnip | EPops: I'd use ext4 or btrfs | 04:18 |
| xangua | koala`: sudo apt-get install xchat | 04:18 |
| EPops | Thanks for the tips thus far. I actually am repurposing an old laptop with Core 2 Duo, 2GB Ram. | 04:18 |
| koala` | xangua I'm not using linux | 04:18 |
| koala` | xangua I need a website | 04:19 |
| xangua | koala`: and you ask here becaouse... | 04:19 |
| xangua | because* | 04:19 |
| bobweaver | Oo | 04:19 |
| ActionParsnip | koala`: looks like its down, try again later. Why not just use xchat? | 04:19 |
| CarlFK | koala`: we can help with that :) | 04:19 |
| koala` | xangua for the reason I just gave, the website appears down | 04:19 |
| koala` | CarlFK I need an xchat for mac | 04:19 |
| === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log | ||
| bobweaver | ummm.... site is not down for xchat | 04:20 |
| CarlFK | koala`: first you need to install ubuntu .. then xchat, no problem :) | 04:20 |
| ActionParsnip | koala`: then why ask in here for mac support? | 04:20 |
| koala` | CarlFK It doesn't have to be aqua, and it's for a friend with a mac who won't be installing ubuntu | 04:20 |
| koala` | He is old and sick | 04:20 |
| EPops | Also, will LVM be necessary for a single HDD laptop, or if I plan on adding an external HDD should I consider LVM? I want the drives to be separate, not a single drive. | 04:20 |
| ActionParsnip | koala`: i suggest you ask in a mac channel | 04:21 |
| koala` | ActionParsnip not in freenode? | 04:21 |
| CarlFK | EPops: best to just go with the defaults. lots of though has gone into them to make sure they work. | 04:21 |
| ActionParsnip | koala`: #mac or #apple may help | 04:22 |
| bobweaver | svn is also up | 04:22 |
| CarlFK | koala`: #homebew maybe. (guessing there is such a place) | 04:22 |
| EPops | CarlFK: Thanks, I am new so maybe later when I learn more I will play around with LVM. | 04:23 |
| pnorman_desktop | I'm not sure if I'm hoping I've found the problem or not. If I have, I know what I have to fix and can stop looking. But if it's this, then it's going to be a pain to fix. | 04:24 |

| crassus | Hi, I have this flash drive labeled floppy0 that's stuck on my filesystem somehow. It's always listed and never leaves. It first came on when I accidently removed the installation flash drive when I was first installing ubuntu without safely removing or ejecting it. Is there a way I can remove it from being listed in Nautilus or something? Is there a way I can dismount it? | 04:28 |
| photodata | actionparship ok i will try that app | 04:28 |
| photodata | thank you | 04:29 |
| cablop | is there any good alternative to acls? | 04:29 |
| ActionParsnip | crassus: if you run: mount do you see it listed? | 04:30 |
| crassus | no ActionParsnip | 04:31 |
| crassus | clicking on it via Nautilus says it's /dev/sdb | 04:31 |

| justdave | is there a way to block a specific package from being installed from a specific repo? Same package is available from two different third-party repos, and one of them has a - in the middle of the version number and the other has a ~. Because of that character, apt-get/synaptic is finding the older version instead of the newer one. | 04:32 |
| justdave | I tried setting a pin on that package for that repo and dropping the pin weight, but that doesn't seem to help, it's still selecting the older version | 04:32 |
| crassus | really bizarre | 04:33 |
| crassus | I've tried everything | 04:33 |

| quixotedon | hi all, what's the difference between 'eject' and 'safely remove' a device? | 04:33 |
| chiggins | Hey I need help installing Ubuntu Server 11.04... I'm using a USB to install, used UNetBootin to get the image on the drive. Though when I try to install, it complains it can't install because there is no CD drive. Any solutions? | 04:34 |
| pnorman_desktop | chiggins: What OS are you using to set up the USB drive? | 04:35 |
| sskniranjan | chiggins : there will be a option for the boot from usb device try choosing that | 04:35 |
| chiggins | pnorman_desktop: I'm using Arch linux. | 04:36 |
| pnorman_desktop | Oh - are you having problems installing from your computer to the USB, or installing from USB to where you want to install ubuntu server? | 04:36 |
| crassus | ActionParsnip: any clue how to get this thing off ? | 04:36 |
| crassus | how does nautilus keep it's listings on the side pane ? | 04:36 |
| chiggins | Installing from the USB to my server | 04:37 |
| tlm | Synaptic spits out this error: E: postfix: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 75 | 04:37 |
| tlm | E: bsd-mailx: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured | 04:37 |
| tlm | E: cardstories: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 | 04:37 |
| pnorman_desktop | Ah. Is it booting from the USB drive at all, or is it failing before that? | 04:37 |
| justdave | oh, think I figured it out. I tried to drop the priority on the repo with the older package only for that package... which had a side effect of telling it to always use that repo for that package apparently | 04:38 |
| chiggins | It's booting from the USB, but fails. The wiki is tellign me to add 'cdrom-detect/try-usb=true' to the boot line, so I'm gonna try that | 04:38 |
| genii-around | quixotedon: safely remove - closes all open files to the device, syncs it, then ejects. eject just ejects | 04:38 |
| quixotedon | genii-around: thanks!! | 04:39 |
| chiggins | pnorman_desktop: yeah added 'cdrom-detect/try-usb=true' to the boot line, but I'm getting "there was a problem reading data from the cd-rom drive" ... o_O | 04:40 |
| six88six | hello, using ubuntu to copy 140.4GB directory from one internal SATA drive to a 2nd internal SATA drive, it started out at 50.0 MB/sec and now is at 9.0 MB/sec | 04:43 |
| Ahmuck | what java is now used in ubuntu? | 04:43 |
| six88six | it has been constantly going slower and slower, is this because of heat orrr whats going on here | 04:43 |
| techhelper1 | dcc | 04:44 |
| CarlFK | six88six: what is the fs type on the target ? | 04:44 |
| CarlFK | six88six: I seem to remember something like that copying to ntfs | 04:45 |
| johnnyzero | I have an issue. Its complex so I will just link you guys to the forum post I made in the Ubuntu Forums that nobody answered: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11415914#post11415914 | 04:45 |
| six88six | yeah its ntfs, using a live cd | 04:45 |
| six88six | i had no other choice on how to copy it i guess | 04:46 |
| CarlFK | six88six: guessing you need to read it with win or mac? | 04:46 |
| pnorman_desktop | Even 50 MB/s seems slow for internal to internal | 04:47 |
| CarlFK | pnorman_desktop: that's about as fast as my drives go.. maybe 80 on a good day :) | 04:48 |
| pnorman_desktop | Although I guess when you've spent a couple of days debugging a subtle intermittent potentially drive related problem you start to see them everywhere | 04:48 |
| CarlFK | six88six: http://clonezilla.org/ if the source is also ntfs, it should be as fast as your drives can go | 04:49 |
| six88six | CarlFK, it was a win2k8 DC with 2 db's on it, 1 was only 1GB the other 140GB | 04:49 |
| six88six | just being safe before putting an old image back on | 04:49 |
| pnorman_desktop | http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/1485315 implies that copying to/from NTFS volumes can slow down | 04:49 |
| ActionParsnip | johnnyzero: 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 | 04:49 |
| ActionParsnip | johnnyzero: the images aren't hugely useful | 04:50 |
| CarlFK | six88six: http://clonezilla.org/ check it out. maybe not for this time, but have it ready for next time | 04:50 |
| johnnyzero | Alright I will. I am on 10.10 so it should be maybe able to tell why it works. | 04:50 |
| six88six | thnks | 04:50 |
| johnnyzero | http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=694d14ec5aa53d87538f05bd9aa7895c3a2acd63 | 04:51 |
| johnnyzero | ActionParsnip, that is the output from my current set up which works. | 04:52 |
| ActionParsnip | johnnyzero: so why is there an issue if it works ok? | 04:52 |
| johnnyzero | Because it works on what I'm using now which is 10.10. It does not work on 11.10. | 04:53 |
| six88six | pnorman_desktop, interesting thanks | 04:53 |
| ActionParsnip | johnnyzero: then run it in Oneiric and give the output | 04:53 |
| johnnyzero | Alright, let me just get a Live Download | 04:53 |
| lasindi | Hi all, I recently installed Ubuntu 11.10. I would like to make Adobe Reader as my default PDF viewer. When I right click on files I can choose to "Open with Adobe Reader", but if I go to Properties -> Open With, I can't select Adobe Reader anywhere (nor can I add it through a terminal command option as I used to). Any ideas? | 04:53 |
| pnorman_desktop | six88six: I use windows on my desktop and ubuntu on my server, I found samba was fast to the point of saturating my gigabit connection. Don't know if that's an option for your case | 04:54 |
| six88six | the OS is toast currently | 04:54 |
| six88six | used a live cd, perhaps i couldve tried hirens | 04:55 |
| six88six | minixp | 04:55 |
| pnorman_desktop | Having done restores on both windows and ubuntu, I can say that ubuntu is a lot easier to restore from | 04:55 |
| johnnyzero | ActionParsnip, I will brb. I have Lubuntu on a USB | 04:56 |

| grateful | so im setting up my mailserver | 05:02 |
| grateful | and i can receive emails, but i keep getting relay access denied erorrs when i try and send an email | 05:02 |
| Resistance | grateful: sounds like you misconfigured the relay stuff | 05:03 |
| stephni | i need help but in private not related to ubuntu | 05:04 |
| johnnyzero | ActionParsnip, there is no way of telling from a Live Boot. For some reason the newer Live Boots don't seem to include alsa-info. | 05:04 |
| ActionParsnip | johnnyzero: redownload the script, or copy the one from the internal partition | 05:05 |
| ActionParsnip | johnnyzero: ubuntu doesn't come with alsa-info the script is downloaded from the alsa site | 05:06 |
| johnnyzero | Ahh Yeah I put that script into the live boot of Lubuntu and it popped up as can't find | 05:06 |
| grateful | Resistance, got a minute to help me out? | 05:06 |
| johnnyzero | Perhaps I should go onto IRC in Lubuntu 11.10 so I could tell you exactly my findings | 05:07 |
| tlm | What does this Synaptic error mean? http://pastebin.com/7ZGJeFWs | 05:07 |
| ActionParsnip | johnnyzero: same difference, the underlying sound system is identical | 05:08 |
| johnnyzero | Hmm yet I can get Microphone support on 10.10 but not 11.10 | 05:08 |
| johnnyzero | Thats really strange | 05:08 |
| ActionParsnip | johnnyzero: you can mount the partition using the file browser | 05:08 |
| Resistance | grateful: unfortunately no, but i can't really help you anyways - i dont use my own mail servers, so i've never had to configuire a relay server - but the error its triggering suggests a configuration error if you arent able to use the relay | 05:08 |
| johnnyzero | ok | 05:08 |
| alvin2_ | how can i check what version am i running? | 05:09 |
| aeon-ltd | alvin2_: version of what? | 05:09 |
| Mr_Whiskey | johnnyzero: 11.10 was the first Ubuntu (since 8.04, my first Ubuntu) I have encountered that did not work perfectly out-of-the-box. My monitor, keyboard, and synaptic touchpad all had to be configured manually. | 05:10 |
| alvin2_ | of my ubuntu | 05:10 |
| Mr_Whiskey | !version | alvin2_ | 05:10 |
| ubottu | alvin2_: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> » | 05:10 |

| Cheap_Scotsman | Another N00b question for you folks: I just installed Ubuntu 11.10 on my desktop and I've been trying in vain for two days to get the wireless working. I have a pci wireless card that ubuntu recognizes and seems to have firmware for, but it claims the device is 'disconnected' | 05:21 |
| johnnyzero | ooh ok ActionParsnip | 05:21 |
| ModusPwnens | Can someone tell me what the difference is between an S script and a K script in the /etc/rc.0 directory? | 05:21 |
| Cheap_Scotsman | The device works fine in Win7 so I figure it is a driver issue...any ideas or am I missing something very basic in wireless networking? | 05:21 |
| r000t_mlt | Cheap_Scotsman, I've had this issue before, let me google it again. It's a config file you have to change one line in | 05:21 |
| ModusPwnens | It seems like K scripts are for stopping things? And S scripts are for starting things? But why is there a distinction? | 05:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Cheap_Scotsman: what is the output of: sudo lshw -C network; sudo rfkill list; lsb_release -a | 05:22 |
| Cheap_Scotsman | r000t_mlt: Appreciate it, Ubuntu does recognize my MB wireless device | 05:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Cheap_Scotsman: use a pastebin to hold the output | 05:22 |

| lindolo | for audio problems I installed Pulse Audio Volume Control and was able to use my devices | 05:26 |
| Cheap_Scotsman | actionparsnip, I am surprised that it recognizes the driver (realtek RTL8187) yet does not seem to recognize the device. | 05:26 |
| johnnyzero | ActionParsnip: it saved the file but didn't upload anything. | 05:27 |
| johnnyzero | Like the last one did | 05:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Cheap_Scotsman: if the driver is in the system then it will be used. Just because it detects the hardware correctly doesn't mean the driver files are available | 05:27 |
| Cheap_Scotsman | It also recognizes exactly zero of my proprietary drivers in the system overall | 05:27 |
| ActionParsnip | johnnyzero: run the script yourself, then upload | 05:28 |
| johnnyzero | ok | 05:28 |
| linuxuz3r | how do i upgrade ubuntu from lynx to ocelot | 05:28 |
| linuxuz3r | !upgrade | 05:28 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 05:28 |
| Cheap_Scotsman | actionparsnip: Im thinking perhaps I should try to reinstall, as during the install I think I mistakingly pointed Ubuntu towards my onboard wireless, which doesn't work, rather than my PCI device | 05:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Cheap_Scotsman: doesn't matter, the drivers aren't installed so it won't be used. | 05:29 |
| johnnyzero | ActionParsnip: it isn't executing | 05:29 |
| urlin2u | linux4u, you have to go relese by release, wait for 12.04 for a firect upgrade | 05:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Cheap_Scotsman: a clean install won't do anything new | 05:29 |
| johnnyzero | I typed sh alsa-info.sh | 05:29 |
| johnnyzero | Nothing happened | 05:29 |
| johnnyzero | also tried double clicking the file. It is set to executable. | 05:29 |
| Cheap_Scotsman | actionparsnip: So most people have to fumble through looking for compatible drivers after a clean install then? Or is this an error specific to certian compatibility issues? | 05:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Cheap_Scotsman: sometimes yes, if you think about the vast array of possible wireless cards, the install media would be hundreds of DVDs to accommodate | 05:31 |
| johnnyzero | ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/EyxCyYbC | 05:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Cheap_Scotsman: some wifis work out of the box, some take a tiny bit of work. | 05:31 |
| Cheap_Scotsman | actionparsnip: Yeah. So my best bet then would be to try to find a driver, slap that on a USB and install? I assume installing drivers involves some code | 05:32 |
| ActionParsnip | johnnyzero: then you need to download the file to that folder | 05:32 |
| katyl | how do you activate drivers? | 05:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Cheap_Scotsman: it can sometimes. Sometimes a simple update makes it work. Is the system a laptop? | 05:32 |
| johnnyzero | ActionParsnip: it is in the home folder. So I am running it from there. | 05:33 |
| urlin2u | katyl, look in additional drivers first. | 05:33 |
| ActionParsnip | johnnyzero: if you run: ls do you see the file? | 05:33 |
| Cheap_Scotsman | actionparsnip: Desktop, PCI wireless device. I looked it up and Linksys doesn't make Linux drivers for this model | 05:33 |

| ActionParsnip | johnnyzero: then run: ./alsa-info.sh | 05:34 |
| johnnyzero | alright | 05:34 |
| johnnyzero | ActionParsnip: it still just went to the next line. Nothing happened. | 05:34 |
| Cheap_Scotsman | actionparsnip: I would have to look it up unless you mean Realtek (listed under Ubuntu's network recognition) | 05:34 |
| HoNgOuRu | how do I force a swap format? | 05:34 |
| HoNgOuRu | I have my swap partition disabled and not doing any swapping at all... | 05:35 |
| urlin2u | HoNgOuRu, open gparted and turn it on,. | 05:35 |
| johnnyzero | http://pastebin.com/BBGN9BjX | 05:35 |
| katyl | there are no drivers shown | 05:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Cheap_Scotsman: sudo lshw -C network will state the cheap | 05:36 |
| HoNgOuRu | urlin2u, gparted throw an error when trying to format the partition as swap | 05:36 |
| HoNgOuRu | urlin2u, something like "mkswap "" /dev/sda6" failed or something | 05:37 |
| ActionParsnip | johnnyzero: does: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh; chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh; ./alsa-info.sh still say access denied? | 05:37 |

| Cheap_Scotsman | actionparsnip, Under configuration? | 05:38 |
| HoNgOuRu | urlin2u, I get an resource busy when trying to do a mkswap on the partition, how can I force it? also it is not mounted | 05:39 |
| Cheap_Scotsman | actionparsnip, Under configuration one is b43 driverversion 3.0.0-12 generic, another comes up as rtl8187 driverversion = 3.0.0-12 generic | 05:40 |
| johnnyzero | ActionParsnip: I believe Alsa isn't the problem though. I think it might actually be Pulse Audio. | 05:40 |
| === Dom_Kitty is now known as Feline_Sapient | ||
| urlin2u | HoNgOuRu, I think I would figure out why it will not build or gon rather then forcing it. | 05:40 |
| urlin2u | go on* | 05:40 |
| johnnyzero | ActionParsnip: I knew Alsa was recognizing it because in Alsamixer in 11.10 it shows up. | 05:40 |

| HoNgOuRu | urlin2u, how? | 05:41 |
| urlin2u | HoNgOuRu, a swap is a partition as well yoiu can't make one in one unless you kake one as a file. | 05:41 |
| urlin2u | make* | 05:42 |
| HoNgOuRu | I know, I want to reformat it as swap, cause in gparted its listed as "unknown" or filesystem "none" one of those | 05:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Cheap_Scotsman: so its a broadcom 43xx ? | 05:42 |
| urlin2u | HoNgOuRu, take a screen c=shot of gparted and imagebin it. | 05:43 |
| HoNgOuRu | roger.... | 05:43 |
| ActionParsnip | johnnyzero: is the camera set as the output device? | 05:43 |

| Cheap_Scotsman | actionparsnip, one is Broadcom one is Realtek, I think the realtek is my PCI device but not entirely sure | 05:44 |
| Cheap_Scotsman | actionparsnip, Wait just saw "Bus info: PCI" under the broadcom so I assume that is it. | 05:45 |
| katyl | how can i activate drivers that dont show up in additional drivers? | 05:45 |
| johnnyzero | ActionParsnip: When you put in a mixer it shows no input devices at all. As for Output Devices, all I can see is the ATI Radeon HD Sound Drivers. | 05:46 |
| urlin2u | katyl, drivers are not my area but posting details like what drivers and cards will be helpful. | 05:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Cheap_Scotsman: the guide shows how to enable it using the install CD | 05:46 |

| Snowie | cant find lampp, lamp, xampp or xamp in the repos for oneiric. whats the best packaged web server? | 05:47 |
| ActionParsnip | johnnyzero: is the webcam part of the system or is it a usb device? | 05:47 |
| johnnyzero | ActionParsnip: It is a USB device. I am on a Desktop PC. | 05:48 |
| johnnyzero | The device is the Playstation Eye. | 05:48 |
| ActionParsnip | johnnyzero: unplug the device and reboot, may help | 05:48 |
| johnnyzero | ActionParsnip: Tried that a couple of times when I had it. | 05:48 |
| costre__ | when in doubt, reboot | 05:48 |
| costre__ | when in more doubt, reformat | 05:49 |
| urlin2u | HoNgOuRu, if you delete it then you should be fine, but it will change the partitions above it to a lower number. | 05:49 |
| HoNgOuRu | urlin2u, that will hit the grub and other configs I have | 05:49 |
| HoNgOuRu | isn't there another way? | 05:49 |
| urlin2u | HoNgOuRu, just run sudo update-grub | 05:49 |
| HoNgOuRu | mmm....ok | 05:50 |
| tdignan | What does amdcccle do behind the scenes to change screen positioning and such? | 05:51 |
| HoNgOuRu | urlin2u, cant do it, my SO is installed on a partition below it... | 05:51 |
| katyl | urlin2u: i have a SiS 661 card. in my system info it currently says vesa though | 05:51 |
| tdignan | Right now, amdcccle is segfaulting when I try to set multiple desktop. | 05:51 |
| HoNgOuRu | got a restart for that | 05:51 |
| urlin2u | HoNgOuRu, SO? | 05:51 |
| HoNgOuRu | OS | 05:51 |
| HoNgOuRu | Operating System | 05:51 |
| HoNgOuRu | ubuntu btw | 05:51 |
| urlin2u | your in ubuntu sda7 right now right? | 05:52 |
| _r00t_ | can you do a generic grub-install from a live cd without ubuntu installed ? | 05:52 |
| HoNgOuRu | yes | 05:52 |
| _r00t_ | HoNgOuRu: are you sure ? | 05:53 |
| HoNgOuRu | yeap, mounted here.. "/" | 05:53 |
| _r00t_ | is not sure | 05:53 |
| urlin2u | HoNgOuRu, if you delete the sda6 and put a swap there and run sudo update-grub you will be fine. | 05:53 |
| HoNgOuRu | ok | 05:53 |
| Snowie | anyone, similar to lamp server in the repos. is it possible desktop edition doesnt have a source enabled, had a look and couldnt see anything. oneiric | 05:53 |
| HoNgOuRu | just don't let me delete it | 05:54 |
| HoNgOuRu | it stops with a popup alert message | 05:54 |
| urlin2u | HoNgOuRu, you might have to put the swap uuid in fstab though is all for it to mount on boot. | 05:54 |
| _r00t_ | can you do a generic grub-install from a live cd without ubuntu installed ? | 05:54 |
| urlin2u | _r00t_, for what? | 05:54 |
| _r00t_ | urlin2u: for other operating systems like windows / kfreebsd | 05:55 |
| urlin2u | HoNgOuRu, you running live fedora? | 05:55 |
| urlin2u | _r00t_, wont work you need a OS with grub | 05:55 |
| HoNgOuRu | nop, Im running ubuntu 11.10 | 05:56 |
| _r00t_ | urlin2u: the only os with grub installed on that system is kfreebsd | 05:56 |
| urlin2u | HoNgOuRu, I mean fedora, but you said it was ubuntu, not sure really, try a live cd. | 05:56 |
| fattire | does anyone have problems with unity's "rollup" on doubleclick of menu bars leaving behind an outline w/shadow of the window you just closed? | 05:56 |
| HoNgOuRu | ok, thank you urlin2u | 05:57 |
| urlin2u | _r00t_, hehe freebsd is fun but booting another OS with it is a chore I believ not sure, have you tried easybcd from windows to buut the bsde | 05:58 |
| urlin2u | boot* | 05:58 |
| _r00t_ | urlin2u: I installed it but it only gives me the option to boot debian only dispite other OSs being in the system... update-grub detects nothing else ;/ So I have 2 options 1- install grub from live cd or 2 - update grub.cfg | 05:59 |
| urlin2u | _r00t_, I would ask at ##freebsd | 06:00 |
| === dkannan|away is now known as dkannan | ||
| Cheap_scotsman | actionparsnip, so I tried the instructions for installing from the CD, but when I navigate through the install CD to the designated spots I can't install any packages in the software centre | 06:01 |
| Cheap_scotsman | actionparsnip, it simply opens up the program and doesn't allow me to install. I also have no clue how to do this via the terminal | 06:01 |
| Parsi | I installed opencv 2.2 on ubuntu 11.04, how can I upgrade opencv to 2.3 ? | 06:02 |
| _r00t_ | thanks urlin2u | 06:02 |
| urlin2u | _r00t_, no problem, ope you get it working. | 06:02 |
| urlin2u | hope* | 06:02 |
| rockband | anyone got experience fast-cgi n lighttpd on 11.10 | 06:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Parsi: there may be a ppa | 06:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Cheap_scotsman: a wired link makes it easier :( | 06:05 |
| Cheap_scotsman | actionparsnip: I can see that. It looks as though certain drivers are all but impossible to get going without a wired connection or extensive code work. | 06:06 |
| Parsi | what's ppa ActionParsnip? I'm beginer | 06:06 |
| fattire | rockband, I've got a lighttpd w/php server if that's what you're doing... | 06:06 |
| Parsi | beginner * | 06:06 |
| fattire | can't remember which cgi module it uses... | 06:06 |
| fattire | I can check i guess | 06:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Cheap_scotsman: its not code, you simply use the install CD as a repo and install the packages there | 06:06 |
| rockband | I have spent so many hours now..and Lamp doesnt configure properly...do you have 11.10 running?? | 06:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Cheap_scotsman: the driver you need uses the firmware in your system, the packages used to get it are on the install CD | 06:07 |
| ModusPwnens | if a script does an echo when there isn't a terminal open, does it open a terminal? | 06:07 |
| Cheap_scotsman | actionparsnip, I have the install CD in, I can navigate through the files, but when I go to install the packages software centre will not let me. There is supposedly another means of doing this via a terminal but I have no idea how to do that, which is why I assume this would be easier for those familiar with "code" | 06:08 |
| fattire | rockband, yeah I'm using fastcgi | 06:08 |
| fattire | and w/11.10 | 06:08 |
| fattire | rockband, what's your issue exactly? | 06:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Cheap_scotsman: Note: Systems installed from CDROM can simply add the install CD as a package source and install bcmwl-kernel-source, automatically installing the required dependencies. | 06:08 |
| rockband | 403 then 500, now unable to cnnect on http port | 06:08 |
| fattire | btw anyone know how to adjust screen dpi? | 06:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Cheap_scotsman: just enable the install CD as a source and then it will be used as an offline repo | 06:09 |
| fattire | rockband 403 is forbidden | 06:09 |
| fattire | 403 looks like permissions | 06:09 |
| Cheap_scotsman | actionparsnip: How do I go about enabling it as a source? | 06:09 |
| rockband | 403 was path error | 06:09 |
| rockband | 500 was permission | 06:10 |
| rockband | but now there is no response | 06:10 |
| fattire | rockband msged you | 06:10 |
| fattire | I'll try to help in /msg | 06:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Cheap_scotsman: in software centre | 06:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Cheap_scotsman: that's why I don't see why you are looking through the CD... | 06:11 |
| Cheap_scotsman | actionparsnip, When I follow the first instruction in the guide for no internet installs, it instructs: If you do not have any other means of Internet access on your computer, you will have to install the bcmwl-kernel-source package from the restricted folder under ../pool/restricted/b/bcmwl on the Ubuntu install media. " | 06:11 |
| * phlak_user is standing by | 06:12 | |
| Cheap_scotsman | actionparsnip, My understanding here is that I should navigate through the CD to that point, double click on the pack (which pulls up the software centre) and install... but I cannot do this as the install button is not clickable. | 06:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Cheap_scotsman: I pasted that text from the page I linked you. | 06:13 |
| Cheap_scotsman | actionparsnip, Regarding using the CD as a package source? I would love to, but I dont know how to enable such hah. | 06:14 |
| harsh343 | I am not able to login on my ubuntu 11.10 | 06:15 |

| ActionParsnip | Cheap_scotsman: notice the CD bit at the bottom? | 06:16 |
| harsh343 | urlin2u, they do not take my pass | 06:16 |
| Cheap_scotsman | actionparsnip, yes, not sure where to find this window, though. | 06:17 |
| harsh343 | while i enter my right password | 06:17 |
| Cheap_scotsman | actionparsnip, ah it's an application, found it | 06:17 |
| urlin2u | harsh343, you can reset the password would you like a link? | 06:17 |
| harsh343 | from where i reset the password ? | 06:17 |
| Parsi | how can I remove installed opencv 2.2 from 11.04 ? | 06:17 |
| urlin2u | harsh343, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword | 06:18 |

| Blue1 | Parsi: sudo dpkg --purge <packagename> | 06:18 |
| urlin2u | harsh343, if your password was working then is not now it may be more then a reset option. | 06:19 |
| Parsi | Blue1, I compiled it myself, does it matter? It's opencv | 06:20 |
| Blue1 | Parsi: how did you install it? make file? | 06:20 |
| Parsi | yes, Blue1 | 06:20 |
| Cheap_scotsman | actionparsnip, my internet for the chat keeps dying out, just to make things more interesting. | 06:20 |
| * Blue1 has no clue what opencv is | 06:21 | |
| Cheap_scotsman | actionparsnip, So I enabled it as a source, I'm not yet noticing a difference when I try to install the bcmwl-kernal from the CD, though perhaps I'm still not doing this correctly. | 06:21 |
| Parsi | Blue1: CV: computer vision | 06:21 |
| Blue1 | Parsi: if you do a dpkg -l | grep <packagename> does it show up> | 06:21 |
| Parsi | Blue1: let me try | 06:22 |
| Parsi | Blue1: it shows nothing | 06:23 |
| Blue1 | Parsi: what does which opencv | 06:23 |
| Blue1 | Parsi: say? | 06:23 |
| Cheap_scotsman | Anyone familiar with sourcing software from the Ubuntu 11.10 install CD? I'm trying to get a wireless card's drivers without a connection and can't figure out how to install the required packages. | 06:24 |

| Blue1 | Parsi: yeah I didn't think the dpkg would work after you told me it was in a make file. so where is it installed, in your own directory? | 06:25 |

| urlin2u | harsh343, for example if you nic was the user name passwd harsh343 | 06:32 |
| urlin2u | your* | 06:32 |
| harsh343 | for ecxample passwd susan i am using this after that they aske me fir new passwod but not able to change | 06:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Cheap_scotsman: if you have the file browser in the path of the CD then it will be busy | 06:36 |
| phlak_user | harsh343, easier way for you is to use the GUI - if on 11.10, type users in dash search bar, click on Users and change password there | 06:36 |
| Cheap_scotsman | actionparsnip, I restarted so I could see the DVD in the sidebar again. Once again navigated through to the bcmwl restricted install pack and I cannot figure out how to install it. | 06:37 |

| ActionParsnip | extor: I suggest a clean install. You will get a much cleaner OS and you will get there faster | 06:45 |
| harsh343 | phlak_user, got it or not ???? | 06:45 |
| extor | ActionParsnip, problem with a clean install is that this is an openvz template we are talking about that is configured to run Xvnc and I'm not sure I can configure xvnc in a fresh install since I'm not vnc savvy | 06:46 |
| phlak_user | harsh343, did you install likewise-open by any chance? | 06:47 |
| Cheap_scotsman | actionparsnip: I put "sudo dpkg -i/home/bcmwl-kernel-etc) in a terminal and this didnt seem to work...wrong path? | 06:47 |
| harsh343 | I don't no what is this | 06:47 |
| Christopher | I am looking for a gratis lossless sound byte like the THX sound but to test my system | 06:47 |
| phlak_user | Cheap_scotsman, just type sudo dpkg -i bcmwl-kernel-etc | 06:48 |
| r000t_mlt | Thought you guys would like to know Ubuntu has actually physically damaged my $3,000 graphics card | 06:48 |
| * r000t_mlt claps | 06:48 | |
| ActionParsnip | Cheap_scotsman: it will be: sudo dpkg -i /home/$USER/bcmwl*.deb | 06:48 |
| r000t_mlt | Now there are blue lines at the edges when certain colors are on screen, no matter what OS is loaded | 06:48 |
| r000t_mlt | does it on all monitors | 06:48 |
| ActionParsnip | r000t_mlt: doubt it very much | 06:48 |
| Christopher | r000t_mlt, what card? | 06:49 |
| ActionParsnip | r000t_mlt: which video card is it? | 06:49 |
| harsh343 | what can i do ? phlak_user please help me | 06:49 |
| r000t_mlt | Nvidia Quadro FX 4500 X2 | 06:49 |
| Cheap_scotsman | phlak_user: tried that, actually had a percentage unloading for half a second, then got a dependency problem error. | 06:49 |
| Christopher | is it EVGA by chance? | 06:49 |
| r000t_mlt | Not at all | 06:49 |
| phlak_user | Cheap_scotsman, thats a start, whats the error? | 06:49 |
| Christopher | that sucks | 06:49 |
| r000t_mlt | Why? | 06:49 |
| Christopher | EVGA has lifetime no questions asked warranty | 06:50 |
| r000t_mlt | Why would the board maker matter? | 06:50 |
| diplocat | $3000 video card? wtf are you doing? modelling nuclear explosions? | 06:50 |
| r000t_mlt | diplocat: Video editing | 06:50 |
| r000t_mlt | And my dad's going to f*cking kill me | 06:50 |
| Christopher | you can smash it in the street and run over it then set it on fire and evga will take it and replace it | 06:50 |
| diplocat | ahh, ok, fair enough | 06:50 |
| ActionParsnip | r000t_mlt: curious of the price. Just found it in nextag for 900 USD | 06:50 |
| r000t_mlt | ActionParsnip, we bought it in 2007 | 06:50 |
| r000t_mlt | It's successor is $3,000 | 06:50 |
| ActionParsnip | r000t_mlt: ubuntu will still not damage it | 06:50 |
| urlin2u | r000t_mlt, its 5 years old | 06:51 |
| r000t_mlt | Then why is it doing this garbage in BIOS too? | 06:51 |
| phlak_user | harsh343, what did you do after which you couldnt login? | 06:51 |
| r000t_mlt | On a slightly related note, the system drive (not the redundant array I expect to fail) is clicking like a geiger counter. | 06:51 |
| r000t_mlt | murphey's law, anyone? | 06:51 |
| harsh343 | right now i am in recovery mode | 06:51 |
| r000t_mlt | Hopefully when my dad comes home for thanksgiving he won't ask about the edit suite... | 06:51 |
| harsh343 | and trying for ligin | 06:51 |
| harsh343 | but now able | 06:52 |
| harsh343 | to login | 06:52 |
| grateful | anybody really wise with postfix? | 06:52 |
| r000t_mlt | Check this, 42 year old man in college | 06:52 |
| [_J-B_] | hola | 06:52 |
| diplocat | r000t_mlt, if the problem's happening in BIOS as well, it's definitely a hardware issue | 06:52 |
| r000t_mlt | Going to frat parties | 06:52 |
| harsh343 | I there any command on recovery | 06:52 |
| harsh343 | mode | 06:52 |
| Cheap_scotsman | phlak_user: There is so much bloody text that is hard to find. | 06:52 |
| ActionParsnip | r000t_mlt: sweet, more power to him | 06:52 |
| r000t_mlt | When I reboot it next I'm switching out the DVI cables and throwing in some new monitors | 06:52 |
| ActionParsnip | harsh343: hold shift at boot and select recovery mode then select root | 06:52 |
| Cheap_scotsman | phlak_user: "error processing bcmwl-kernel-source, dependency problems - leaving unconfigured | 06:52 |
| r000t_mlt | again it's only when certain things are on screen | 06:52 |
| Christopher | if the card is 5 years old I highly doubt it was Ubuntu, dust maybe | 06:53 |
| ActionParsnip | r000t_mlt: tried a different screen? | 06:53 |
| r000t_mlt | They're all the same screen | 06:53 |
| Cheap_scotsman | phlak_user: it was an error while unpacking the source. | 06:53 |
| r000t_mlt | we have like 534902348234 Samsung Syncmasters | 06:53 |
| phlak_user | harsh343, other than passwd username theres nothing im afraid | 06:53 |
| ActionParsnip | r000t_mlt: might be the screen then... | 06:53 |
| r000t_mlt | Tax deduction, every last one of them | 06:53 |
| r000t_mlt | What I'm pissed at the most is the failing drive | 06:53 |
| xxen0nxx | hey r00t whats the quadro like | 06:53 |
| xxen0nxx | it good? | 06:53 |
| Christopher | its a 5 year old card, how long did you expect it to last? | 06:53 |
| diplocat | r000t_mlt, do you have an onboard video card? try booting up using that and see if the screen has the same prob | 06:53 |
| harsh343 | huhhhhh | 06:53 |
| Christopher | check the card in another system | 06:54 |
| ActionParsnip | r000t_mlt: if you boot to liveCD it will remove the drive from the equation | 06:54 |
| Cheap_scotsman | phlak_user: It would be nice if one could simply install from the CD by double clicking packs... This seems little to demand. | 06:54 |
| r000t_mlt | xxen0nxx, when it runs games, the underside of your desk becomes coated in semen, because the graphics are just that good | 06:54 |
| phlak_user | Cheap_scotsman, what exactly are you attempting here again? installing broadcom drivers? | 06:54 |
| xxen0nxx | LMAO | 06:54 |
| r000t_mlt | This card is the only one with 4 DVI outputs | 06:54 |
| xxen0nxx | LOL | 06:54 |
| xxen0nxx | LMFAO | 06:54 |
| r000t_mlt | so you can surround yourself with monitors | 06:54 |
| xxen0nxx | that was halarips | 06:54 |
| Cheap_scotsman | phlak_user: yes, and I have no connection, and am trying to source them from the install CD | 06:54 |
| Christopher | r000t_mlt, my EVGA GTX 590 can out perform it | 06:54 |
| xxen0nxx | sweet | 06:54 |
| FloodBot1 | xxen0nxx: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 06:54 |
| Christopher | and its 2000 less | 06:54 |
| r000t_mlt | Christopher, we only got it for the 4 monitor thing. We use it primarily for video editing | 06:54 |
| Cheap_scotsman | phlak_user: and when I navigate through the install CD itself I get to the install packs, try to double click and simply get the software centre popping up with no option to install | 06:55 |
| Christopher | test the card on another mobo | 06:55 |
| r000t_mlt | We're going to upgrade to a 4700 X2 soon. | 06:55 |
| r000t_mlt | Police took the only other computer with this kind of slot | 06:55 |
| Christopher | why 4700? when the 500 series is so much better and so much easier on the wallet | 06:55 |
| phlak_user | Cheap_scotsman, so you could just type sudo apt-get install bcml-kernel-source | 06:55 |
| r000t_mlt | We need the 4 DVI outputs | 06:55 |
| r000t_mlt | that was a major selling point | 06:55 |
| phlak_user | Cheap_scotsman, if its on the installation DVD | 06:55 |
| Christopher | welcome to 2011 | 06:55 |
| r000t_mlt | here lemme get a picture | 06:56 |

| phlak_user | ActionParsnip, i asked him about likewise-open but he isnt aware whether its installed | 07:02 |

| advanz_ | it's showes buffering | 07:30 |
| ralph_ | fattire what are you talking about man | 07:30 |
| ralph_ | ;) | 07:30 |
| Cheap_Scotsman | phlak_user: could this be an install error in any way? That is, could re-installing do anything to make double clicking the install CD workable? | 07:30 |
| advanz_ | it's showing buffering on the webbrowser | 07:31 |
| fattire | ralph_, you know the "scroll up" feature- clicking on the menubar to scroll up in unity....? It works, but starting in 11.10 it leaves behind a frame with the widnow's shadow | 07:31 |
| Cheap_Scotsman | phlak_user: Downloading packages via the CD rather than terminal paths/errors, that is | 07:31 |
| phlak_user | Cheap_Scotsman, not sure; did you install the system off this DVD? | 07:33 |
| phlak_user | truepurple, is the DVD region locked? | 07:33 |
| Cheap_Scotsman | phlak_user: Yeah. Everything seemingly installed without issue except drivers. I am now getting an error concerning my "package system" being broken. | 07:34 |
| Cheap_Scotsman | phlak_user: in the OS rather than a terminal | 07:34 |

| Lysandius | Hello everyone. I've had a problem since Ubuntu 10.04 (I think). When I enter my password at the login screen I get a black screen and I get the nvidia logo and then I return to the login screen. | 07:37 |
| === avernos_ is now known as avernos | ||
| Lysandius | I have been able to get around this by entering recovery mode and booting in a console and then logging in and starting X. But I just upgraded to 11.10 and this doesn't work anymore. | 07:38 |
| truepurple | phlak_user, So can you help? | 07:38 |
| Lysandius | So now I'm stuck... | 07:38 |
| phlak_user | Cheap_Scotsman, a re-install would probably help fix the packaging system but you would still need to install the broadcom drivers the recommended way | 07:38 |
| phlak_user | truepurple, have you tried with any other player like VLC or mplayer? | 07:39 |
| dc5ala | Lysandius, have you tried with selecting other sessions at the login? | 07:39 |
| nut_guy | can anyone here help me about samba?? | 07:39 |
| nut_guy | can anyone here help me about samba?? | 07:39 |

| Lysandius | Yes, I am on a guest session atm. This seems to work (although I've lost pretty much all settings and such). | 07:39 |
| === guntbert is now known as Guest11057 | ||
| truepurple | phlak_user, yes but what does it matter if ubuntu itself isn't seeing the drive | 07:40 |
| nut_guy | I want to put password on every folder on my samba folder can any one provide me with the solution,.... | 07:40 |
| Lysandius | dc5ala, If I remember correctly I removed Evolution before the troubles started. Reinstalling didn't work. But I've read other people have problems when they remove Evolution. | 07:40 |
| phlak_user | truepurple, that can be checked by popping in a normal data cd/dvd in the drive and seeing if it gets recognized | 07:41 |
| dc5ala | Lysandius, you sure you had this on 10.04? | 07:41 |
| nut_guy | I want to put password on every folder on my samba folder can any one provide me with the solution,.... | 07:41 |
| phlak_user | nut_guy, look here -> http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/samba-password-protected-shared-folder-347324/ | 07:42 |
| Lysandius | dc5ala, No... I had it on the previous release and I'm almost sure I had it on the release before that. | 07:42 |
| xerzaz | anyone with good gpu who wants to help me out crack this hash -> 29443ec4b988d60e53bfdb7f3f87d0be ? | 07:42 |
| phlak_user | xerzaz, is that a ubuntu support question? | 07:42 |
| xerzaz | no, but I soon give up I would do it myself but my gpu isn't supported :/ | 07:43 |
| dc5ala | Lysandius, you could try doing a recursive chown to your home folder of the user first | 07:43 |
| dc5ala | Lysandius, do you know how to switch to a console and back to X? | 07:44 |
| indu | i install the Tomcat server | 07:45 |
| Lysandius | dc5ala, I think so. So I should switch to my regular user in a console? And make sure its home folder is owned by that user? | 07:45 |
| xerzaz | phlak_user: I'm guessing there are lots of users here who have done it before aswell | 07:45 |
| truepurple | phlak_user, I put in a old windows game in there, drive still didn't show up | 07:45 |
| indu | i install the Tomcat server | 07:46 |
| dc5ala | Lysandius, i would give that a try: sudo -R lysandius: /home/lysandius | 07:46 |
| Lysandius | dc5ala, I looked through some records and I've had this computer right before the 10.10 release. | 07:46 |
| indu | run rhe command | 07:46 |
| phlak_user | truepurple, dmesg would complain of errors | 07:46 |
| indu | sudo apt-get install tomcat6 | 07:46 |
| dc5ala | Lysandius, and change the username and home of course in that command :) | 07:46 |
| Lysandius | dc5ala, Thanks, I'll brb. | 07:47 |
| phlak_user | dc5ala, did you mean sudo chown -R in that previous command of yours | 07:47 |
| ralph_ | yeah install the java ee sdk,tomcat is something like #include over there, ;) | 07:47 |
| truepurple | phlak_user, not sure what you are talking about, but I got no errors. | 07:47 |
| TL-kay | phlak_user: do you have any advice or direction for me? the thing is I cannot "seperate" system beeps from ordinary sound output, so I cannot mute them :( | 07:47 |
| dc5ala | phlak_user, ops, you are right! | 07:47 |
| phlak_user | TL-kay, did you mute sound effects? | 07:48 |
| dc5ala | Lysandius, missed the chown in that command, sorry, not enough coffee yet, so it's: sudo chown -R username: /home/username | 07:48 |
| TL-kay | phlak_user: I have no such option, only "System Sounds" - It was muted by default already | 07:49 |
| phlak_user | TL-kay, are you on 11.10? | 07:49 |
| indu | 11.04 | 07:50 |
| Lysandius | dc5ala, Done :) Shall I try logging in again now? Can I do that without closing this session so I stay in here? | 07:50 |
| phlak_user | truepurple, looks like your drive is faulty or the cable is not connected properly | 07:50 |
| indu | ok thanks | 07:50 |
| Evilkiss | HI | 07:50 |
| Evilkiss | need help | 07:50 |
| TL-kay | phlak_user: nope, I'm on a backtrack 5 actually - the distribution is based on 10.04 IIRC | 07:50 |
| xerzaz | 100 bucks to the first that cracks this pass, direct on paypal | 07:50 |
| Cheap_Scotsman | Anyone have solutions for downloading packages from a CD (no internet connection) when double clicking isn't working? | 07:50 |
| xerzaz | 29443ec4b988d60e53bfdb7f3f87d0be | 07:51 |
| Evilkiss | How i can solve these errors? http://paste.ubuntu.com/726073/ | 07:51 |
| dc5ala | Lysandius, with chown? Is easier to logout and then try it | 07:51 |
| truepurple | phlak_user, I uses this drive to burn a DVD before | 07:51 |
| Evilkiss | When i sudo make install.... pavucontrol 1.0 i got these errors | 07:51 |
| Lysandius | dc5ala, Yes, with chown. Well, I'll brb then. :) | 07:52 |
| phlak_user | truepurple, but you're saying that it didnt detect *any* cd/dvd now | 07:52 |
| truepurple | Well I don't know about then, but it isn't showing in nautilus | 07:53 |
| phlak_user | truepurple, is it a laptop or a desktop? | 07:53 |
| Lysandius | dc5ala, The problem persists :( | 07:54 |
| truepurple | phlak_user, DIY desktop | 07:54 |
| Calinou | xerzaz: lol | 07:54 |
| dc5ala | Lysandius, which session are you running on that user? | 07:54 |
| phlak_user | truepurple, you should definitely check the cable that connects to the drive in that case | 07:55 |
| Lysandius | dc5ala, I think the first one? :) | 07:55 |
| Lysandius | dc5ala, Not entirely sure what you meant :) | 07:55 |
| truepurple | phlak_user, and if they are fine? | 07:55 |
| Peddy | I accidentally changed my only user account from Administrator to Standard, how can I get it back? | 07:56 |
| dc5ala | Lysandius, on the login screen you can select what session (or desktop environment) that user wants to use. | 07:56 |
| phlak_user | truepurple, boot off a livecd; the idea is to isolate the issue | 07:56 |
| ralph_ | why not use vmware?? | 07:57 |
| Sav1or | i like pie | 07:57 |
| ralph_ | ;) | 07:57 |
| bps | same | 07:57 |
| Lysandius | dc5ala, Ahh, I chose 'Ubuntu'. But 'Ubuntu 2d' and the others have the same problem when I try them. | 07:57 |
| Hdale85_ | I thought you couldn't make a user account an admin | 07:57 |
| Hdale85_ | that's why sudo and SU exist | 07:57 |
| ralph_ | 11.10 is rocking i guess | 07:58 |
| phlak_user | Hdale85_, basically means that the user is part of the sudoers | 07:58 |
| Hdale85_ | hmm | 07:58 |

| dc5ala | Lysandius, guest user is running unity now? | 07:59 |
| Lysandius | Could it have something to do with me removing Evolution since that's quite tightly integrated with Ubuntu? | 07:59 |
| xerzaz | I'm not joking around | 07:59 |
| Calinou | ... | 07:59 |
| Lysandius | dc5ala, Yes it is. | 07:59 |
| Calinou | !ops there is troll over there! | 07:59 |
| xerzaz | just pm, if you manage to get it decrypted | 08:00 |
| Calinou | no, I won't. :P | 08:00 |
| ralph_ | hacking eeewwwwuuuuuuuu | 08:00 |
| dc5ala | Lysandius, could take a look if there is a hint in your .xsession-errors from that user | 08:01 |
| Lysandius | dc5ala, Yesterday (11.04) I chose recovery in the bootloader and then I started in a console. There I could log in and startx. Then I got into gnome and I could work normally. But that no longer works. I can no longer boot into console it seems. | 08:01 |
| ralph_ | well use hashcat i suggest ,it cracks all the hashes even with salts included>>>>> ;) | 08:01 |

| beasty | is it possible to change the amount of workspaces in gnome ? | 08:01 |
| xerzaz | Myrtti: yes I won't ask anymore just thought it would be worth the try not any luck else where this time of day | 08:01 |
| Peddy | I get the error "cannot lock /etc/passwd" when trying to add my user back to Admin group through the recovery shell, how can I avoid this? | 08:01 |
| phlak_user | Peddy, can you do usermod -G admin | 08:02 |
| === krabbe_ is now known as krabbe | ||
| Peddy | phlak_user, haha that's what I just tried to do, I get "cannot lock /etc/passwd; try again later" | 08:02 |
| beasty | Peddy: you root filesystem is mounted as readonly | 08:02 |
| dc5ala | Lysandius, evolution is no more the default mail client for 11.10, so can't imagine it has something to do with your problem at the moment | 08:03 |
| Lysandius | dc5ala, There was indeed an error. Something wrong in .profile. I've fixed it and I'll try relogging again... | 08:03 |
| Lysandius | dc5ala, Brb :) | 08:03 |
| Peddy | beasty, what is the command to mount it rw? | 08:03 |
| xerzaz | just to sort this out it was not hash I was asking for but how to decrypt a user password hash | 08:04 |

| anonissimus | I just installed the latest version of ubuntu server, I installed gdm, but when I try to log in I get failed to load session "ubuntu", I reinstalled and purged gdm and gnome-sessions but the prolem persists | 08:08 |
| phlak_user | anonissimus, did you install ubuntu-desktop also? | 08:08 |
| Lysandius | dc5ala, I'm a python user and I use pip to install python packages. There was some code in there to enable tab completion that had an error in it. So apparently X would abort and drop back to the login screen. | 08:09 |
| anonissimus | phlak_user: let me check | 08:09 |
| dc5ala | Lysandius, okay then, was just curious ;) have fun! | 08:09 |
| Lysandius | dc5ala, I've learned alot from this and I can now log in like grownups do. Thanks again! | 08:09 |

| leo2007 | I am using 11.10 | 08:16 |
| phlak_user | !nounity| leo2007 | 08:16 |
| ubottu | leo2007: 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 | 08:16 |
| andrewh192 | phlak_user: gotcha | 08:18 |

| jeax | it should work in just mine | 08:19 |
| jeax | its a link to a compiler | 08:19 |
| jeax | i also tried doing export PATH="$HOME/go/bin:$PATH" and then . .bashrc, that didn't work either | 08:20 |
| Black_Panter | hi :) | 08:20 |
| Lysandius | Ccsm doesn't seem to do much anymore in 11.10. I changed my number of desktops but it does not update. | 08:20 |
| Shirakawasuna | jeax: in .bashrc, add PATH="$PATH:/more/entries:/like/this" | 08:20 |
| jeax | ah, so I was just adding it to the wrong file | 08:20 |
| Shirakawasuna | jeax: most likely | 08:21 |
| jeax | how would I add it for all users? bash_completion? | 08:21 |
| Shirakawasuna | jeax: I used to put it in a shell script in /etc/profile.d/ . Any executable scripts in /etc/profile.d get sourced if /etc/profile is sourced (.bashrc should do this) | 08:21 |
| Black_Panter | i've got a question about uniq | 08:21 |
| Black_Panter | i use it with "-d" and "-c" but i am searching for a possibility to say that only entrys which exists more than "x" times will be shown...is it possible with uniq or do i have to look on another command? | 08:21 |

| Shirakawasuna | ok now I'm unsure | 08:25 |

| theadmin | dr_willis: s/mor/more/; | 08:44 |
| nongfushui | hi | 08:44 |
| Shirakawasuna | evmunro: excellent :D | 08:44 |
| dr_willis | but he just asked how to disable it... | 08:44 |
| theadmin | dr_willis: menu != menu bar | 08:44 |
| nongfushui | if i change the default policies to drop for each table, will i be locked out? | 08:44 |
| nongfushui | http://pastebin.com/CBNWdF5R | 08:44 |
| dr_willis | so im confused | 08:44 |
| nongfushui | just want to make sure i'll have access via ssh still | 08:44 |
| usr13 | newbee: Is it sun-java6-jdk (Sun Java(TM) Development Kit (JDK) 6) that you are wanting to install? | 08:45 |
| dr_willis | ff dies have a plugin to make it usw the global menu | 08:45 |
| theadmin | dr_willis: This is what I want: http://i.imm.io/b44t.png | 08:45 |
| dr_willis | no plugin.. it should go back to how ff defaults. i think | 08:46 |
| phlak_user | nongfushui, its better to use a frontend like ufw to do this | 08:46 |
| phlak_user | !ufw | nongfushui | 08:46 |
| ubottu | nongfushui: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE Lucid and Maverick) also exist. | 08:46 |
| theadmin | dr_willis: Oh, cool, I guess it's something in the repos then, will search for it | 08:47 |
| dr_willis | theadmin: disable it in the ff settings perhaps | 08:47 |
| === geek is now known as Guest4615 | ||
| nongfushui | i'm unaware of anyone ever saying iptables is bad | 08:48 |
| theadmin | dr_willis: The only thing there apparently related to it is called something like "Ubuntu Firefox Extensions", and it's not that | 08:48 |
| theadmin | !info firefox-globalmenu | dr_willis: This is it | 08:49 |

| opticlove | so does anyone know what would happen if i encrypted my / directory with truecrypt? | 08:49 |
| opticlove | its a partition, sda1 | 08:50 |
| theadmin | opticlove: Well, you wouldn't be able to boot. | 08:50 |
| opticlove | damn | 08:50 |
| phlak_user | nongfushui, its not bad; its easy to lock yourself out; ufw is a front-end to it | 08:50 |
| theadmin | opticlove: GRUB has no support for TrueCrypt'ed devices whatsoever, nor does the kernel | 08:50 |
| phlak_user | nongfushui, in fact its a front-end to netfilter | 08:51 |
| opticlove | the admin: well i have sda5 which i'm assuming has all the boot loader files | 08:51 |
| evmunro | yay | 08:51 |
| evmunro | :D | 08:51 |
| theadmin | opticlove: /boot? That's not enough, the kernel will be unable to mount / and will fail to boot further | 08:52 |
| darth_tux71 | hey anyone know about Bumblebee for NV optimas | 08:52 |
| darth_tux71 | that means I have an onboard intel GPU and a 1GB NV gpu | 08:52 |
| usr13 | opticlove: You assume? What does df say about it? Have you looked at the output of, sudo fdisk -l ? | 08:52 |
| dr_willis | darth_tux71: its a work in progress.. and unstable i hear. | 08:53 |
| usr13 | opticlove: Why do you want to encrypt your root filesystem? Wouldn't your /home/ partition be what you really want to encrypt? | 08:53 |
| darth_tux71 | really? so the question is will Ubuntu just failboat due to my 2 GPU's | 08:54 |
| dr_willis | no idea | 08:54 |
| darth_tux71 | guess ill live boot to see if it spazs | 08:54 |
| phlak_user | opticlove, this is how fdisk sees my trucrypt partition -> /dev/mapper/cryptswap1: unrecognized partition table type | 08:54 |
| dr_willis | seen some blog postiong on how support for that stuff may be rough for some time | 08:55 |
| darth_tux71 | yeah im still stunnded that NV wont support it in linux that seems so stupid | 08:55 |
| nomada | hello... | 08:56 |
| darth_tux71 | hi | 08:56 |
| darth_tux71 | brb need coffee | 08:56 |
| nomada | I have a question NOT related to ubuntu, but related to free culture... | 08:57 |
| nomada | is it p2p related un some way to free software? | 08:57 |
| theadmin | nomada: Well, Linux often uses Bittorrent to distribute distros | 08:58 |
| ikonia | nomada: not for this channel | 08:58 |
| ikonia | nomada: try #fsf | 08:58 |
| theadmin | nomada: This eliminates the need for a central server, and... | 08:58 |
| opticlove | usr13: yes i tried to migrate my home directory over with ecryptfs-migrate-home but it says command not found | 08:58 |
| nomada | ikonia :S thanks anyway... :P | 08:58 |
| opticlove | i was able to use ecrypt for my swap space too, so i know its installed and working | 08:59 |
| opticlove | oh i also use it as root | 09:00 |
| usr13 | opticlove: What does man encryptfs-migrate tell you? | 09:01 |
| nelson8874 | hello, i'm in my first steps on linux and wanna install a game called teeworld. It's in a tar.gz file. Now how do i install it? | 09:01 |
| Slartibart | Where do I put sound theme files in 11.10? /usr/share/sounds/folder? It's some "pure" sound files, wav, ogg etc, no config files or anything? Haven't changed the sounds in Ubuntu before.. | 09:02 |
| diplocat | nelson8874, find the file in your home folder (probably downloads) and extract it. tar.gz. is like a .zip | 09:02 |
| opticlove | usr13: sudo: ecryptfs-migrate: command not found | 09:03 |
| Stanley00 | nelson8874: if you are using ubuntu, use Ubuntu Software Center instead | 09:03 |
| nelson8874 | diplocat ok | 09:03 |
| usr13 | opticlove: did you put -u opticlove after it? But first off, is your /home partition separate from the root ( / ) partition? | 09:03 |
| usr13 | opticlove: df | pastebinit | 09:03 |
| nelson8874 | diplocat done. I choosed extract here. | 09:03 |
| diplocat | actually, listen to Stanley00 instead. It's in the repository | 09:03 |
| usr13 | opticlove: Do you have a separate partition for /home ? | 09:03 |
| nomada | nelson8874: sudo apt-get install teeworlds | 09:04 |
| opticlove | usr13: no i do not | 09:04 |
| opticlove | and yes i put my username after it | 09:04 |
| opticlove | it looks like i have to be logged out though for it to migrate.. surely it would tell me that instead of command not found | 09:05 |
| nelson8874 | diplocat ok | 09:05 |
| diplocat | nelson8874, find Ubuntu Software Center in the main menu | 09:05 |
| nelson8874 | stanley00 yes, i found it. Just had to search it... :) | 09:05 |
| usr13 | opticlove: Unless you have /home on a separate partition [from / (the root partition)], you will not be able to encrypt it. | 09:06 |
| nelson8874 | diplocat yes i found it. | 09:06 |
| nelson8874 | thank you guys | 09:06 |
| opticlove | usr13: i see. is there an easy way to go about doing that? i'll follow a link | 09:06 |
| opticlove | usr13: if i did that, then could i use truecrypt? | 09:07 |
| newbee | what scanner software comes with ubuntu 11 by default? | 09:08 |
| dmb__ | hello | 09:10 |
| Stanley00 | !info simple-scan | newbee | 09:10 |
| ubottu | newbee: simple-scan (source: simple-scan): Simple Scanning Utility. In component main, is optional. Version 3.2.0-0ubuntu1 (oneiric), package size 113 kB, installed size 556 kB | 09:10 |
| dmb__ | how can I add launchers to a visible panel? i.e. the Dash keeps hideing itself | 09:10 |
| dmb__ | Stanley00: scan networks? | 09:10 |
| dmb__ | how do I configure the dash? | 09:11 |
| Stanley00 | dmb__: nope, scan documents. | 09:11 |
| dmb__ | Stanley00: ty | 09:11 |
| dr_willis | dmb__: the ccsm tool has some settings | 09:12 |
| dr_willis | !ccsm | 09:12 |
| ubottu | To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' (or 'simple-ccsm' for pre-Oneiric). If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz | 09:12 |
| dmb__ | dr_willis: ty | 09:12 |
| MonkeyDust | dmb__: in ccsm, choose desktop, unity plugin, show launcher > yes | 09:12 |
| dmb__ | ok, so the dash is always compiz? | 09:12 |
| dmb__ | I wasn't sure if I was running it or not (Ubuntu 2d) | 09:12 |
| dr_willis | theres blog sites with other unity tweaks and askubuntu.com | 09:13 |
| japro | so yesterday i went through a total install nightmare because i wasn't aware of the difference between uefi and bios boot stuff etc. so i then decided to nuke the whole thing an redo it. now i figured out how to do "non uefi" installs, but apparently all my partitions are now gpt and windows won't install to thos in non-uefi-mode | 09:13 |
| dmb__ | wow... I wish I could have a launcher | 09:13 |
| dmb__ | in a panel | 09:13 |
| japro | so how can i ensure that my HDs are formatted as mbr and not gpt? | 09:13 |
| dr_willis | dmb__: unity2d is not using compiz i think | 09:13 |
| nomada | newbee Simple Scan, i guess | 09:13 |
| dmb__ | dr_willis: so is cssm for me then? | 09:13 |
| dr_willis | dmb__: ccsm for nnormal unity | 09:14 |
| dmb__ | I just want another terminal... clicking the term icon I locked to the dash doesn't work | 09:14 |
| dmb__ | dr_willis: ty | 09:14 |
| dmb__ | how do I stop focus follows mouse from auto raising? | 09:15 |
| dr_willis | dmb__: install terminator or xfterm, ir others perhaps | 09:15 |
| angelete2 | hi | 09:15 |
| dmb__ | dr_willis: sorry, in response to which question? | 09:15 |
| angelete2 | i have this configuration in my crontab file: 47 3 * * 1 root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.weekly ) | 09:15 |
| angelete2 | but it executes on tuesday instead monday | 09:15 |
| angelete2 | can anyone tell me why? | 09:16 |
| dmb__ | angelete2: sunday is 0 right? | 09:16 |
| angelete2 | yes | 09:16 |
| dmb__ | how long does it take to run? | 09:16 |
| dr_willis | i dont use focus follows. ;) | 09:17 |
| dmb__ | I can't find ccsm | 09:17 |
| MonkeyDust | i don 't use unity ;) | 09:17 |
| dr_willis | !ccsm | 09:17 |
| angelete2 | not more than a couple of hours | 09:17 |
| dmb__ | dr_willis: I'm just annoyed that gnome just seems to be going in the wrong direction | 09:17 |
| dmb__ | MonkeyDust: what do you use? | 09:17 |
| japro | i can only find stuff that tells me how to go TO gpt formatting but i want it NOT to do that :( | 09:17 |
| dmb__ | angelete2: weird... | 09:17 |
| dr_willis | binary name is compiz....somthing | 09:17 |
| angelete2 | but i've added the start date at the begining of a script in /etc/cron.weekly, so i can show that it starts on tuesday | 09:18 |
| dmb__ | dr_willis: oh... I'm still not clear if it will do anything on ubuntu2d | 09:18 |
| MonkeyDust | dmb__: a different ubuntu fork, i open ubuntu oneiric in a virtual machine for support reasons | 09:18 |
| lazymanc | hi, has anyone seen an issue in 11.10 where the first login attempt doesn't seem to do anything other than return you to the login prompt? 2nd attempt always works fine, definitely typing the correct password | 09:18 |
| dmb__ | where is the regular 'configure stuff' icon? | 09:18 |
| dr_willis | dmb__: its not for unity2d | 09:18 |
| newbee | but i still need to install driver before i can use | 09:18 |
| dmb__ | MonkeyDust: I think I'm going to have to build gnome2 | 09:18 |
| dmb__ | dr_willis: ok | 09:18 |
| dmb__ | how do I configure onerism? | 09:18 |
| * darth_tux71 lurks | 09:19 | |
| theadmin | dmb__: Use XFCE, you can't really use gnome2 with modern libs and everything | 09:19 |
| dr_willis | dmb__: check out the webupd8 blog site for unuty2d tweaks | 09:19 |
| newbee | i have a scanner device plustek OpticSlim M12 i want to use on Ubiuntu | 09:19 |
| newbee | i dont like this Ubuntu | 09:19 |
| dr_willis | newbee: theres other desktops | 09:19 |
| dmb__ | but then XFCE annoys me for not being gnome | 09:19 |
| newbee | dr_willis: i mean i prefer the gnome. | 09:20 |
| dr_willis | nome2 is dead.. time to move on | 09:20 |
| * dmb__ is in denial | 09:20 | |
| dr_willis | lubuntu. xfce | 09:20 |
| dr_willis | try them | 09:20 |
| dmb__ | libuntu? | 09:20 |
| newbee | i dont know of an easy intuitive way of reaching my desktop and reaching my app folder | 09:20 |
| dr_willis | !lubuntu | 09:20 |
| ubottu | lubuntu is a project to create a derivative of Ubuntu using the LXDE desktop environment. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu . /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. | 09:20 |
| newbee | anyways do i have to install scanner driver to use? | 09:21 |
| dr_willis | app folder? | 09:21 |
| newbee | simple scan doesnt work with my scanner | 09:21 |
| dmb__ | the main annoyance I had with xfce is the tiny window borders - I couldn't work out how to make them bigger | 09:21 |
| dmb__ | lxde eh | 09:21 |
| newbee | Application folders => where all the apps are installed | 09:21 |
| dr_willis | dmb__: it uses gtk2 themes i think | 09:21 |
| dmb__ | onanism keeps deciding to tile my windows | 09:21 |
| dmb__ | ok | 09:21 |
| theadmin | dmb__: "tiny window borders"? Seems to sound like a bug, mine are about the same size as they were in gnome2 | 09:22 |
| dr_willis | newbee: linux dosent really do that. unuty has somthing similer as does gnomeshell with uts apps area | 09:22 |
| theadmin | dmb__: I'm not sure which xfce version are you talking about, cause I mean the latest, 4.8.something | 09:22 |
| dmb__ | theadmin: I'm using xbuntu and also the xfce pakcage part of desktop-base | 09:23 |
| dmb__ | trying everything out to excape the sin on onan | 09:23 |
| theadmin | dmb__: Also, nothing stops you from using an xfce+metacity combo, therefore running the gnome window manager and xfce at the same time | 09:23 |
| dmb__ | theadmin: I've done that in the past | 09:23 |
| dmb__ | theadmin: but I never worked out how to configure it properly | 09:23 |
| dr_willis | i thought xfwm ysed gnome themes | 09:23 |
| theadmin | dr_willis: It does | 09:23 |
| * theadmin sees Adwaita in their xfwm theme list | 09:24 | |
| theadmin | Definetly nothing from XFCE | 09:24 |
| dmb__ | perhaps, but I couldnt work out how to get a style with decent window borders (for resizing) without getting some 'dusky' madness | 09:24 |
| dr_willis | now mixx in gnome3 :-) that may get weird | 09:24 |
| envygeeks | Perhaps somebody can elaborate something for me (that I've just noticed since I've never really used FGLRX) in Jockey should I be installing FGLXR then FGLXR updates (post-release updates) since Jockey logs seem to indicate errors that imply so | 09:24 |
| newbee | dr_willis: do i need to install sane to use scanner? | 09:24 |
| === X_ is now known as FreeNET | ||
| dmb__ | dr_willis: in sead of lxde I just use ubuntu 9.04 | 09:25 |

| dr_willis | newbee: sane is the core of the scanning system. so id say yes | 09:25 |
| sasori | hi, is it feasible to put two different bootable linux distro in one flash drive ? | 09:25 |
| dmb__ | its a crazy world when the latest version of tools remove lots of functionality, and then new projects are started to get it back | 09:25 |
| theadmin | dmb__: How about Arch+Mate-Desktop-Environment (the last one being a fork of gnome2, done specifically for Arch, however)? | 09:26 |
| dr_willis | sasori: yes | 09:26 |
| sasori | ok thanks :) | 09:26 |
| dmb__ | ubottu: it works, so I don't upgrade it... | 09:26 |
| ubottu | dmb__: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 09:26 |
| dmb__ | no idea why I upgraded this box... sigh | 09:26 |
| darth_tux71 | the bot is prolly smarter then me | 09:26 |
| dmb__ | iceroot: ^^ sorry | 09:26 |
| dmb__ | prolly smarter than us all | 09:26 |
| theadmin | dmb__: She's only smart when it comes to ubuntu stuff tho, and never does anything herself | 09:27 |
| dmb__ | I can only find info on how to turn off metacity in xfce ;-) | 09:27 |
| esc | is there a way to get more verbose output from the distribution upgrade? | 09:28 |
| dr_willis | i got unity with some nice indicator applets and quicklists.. works well for me. nwxt to add some lenses | 09:28 |
| dmb__ | theadmin: you keep telling your self that ;-) | 09:28 |
| theadmin | dmb__: To enable it you can just put "metacity --replace" in your startup apps, what's the big deal with that -___- | 09:28 |
| dmb__ | dr_willis: how do you add cpu usage indicator for example? | 09:28 |
| dmb__ | theadmin: the big deal is, you know that, I dont | 09:28 |
| darth_tux71 | or you can create a icon to do that that is how i get emerald to work right on my tower | 09:29 |
| Mrokii | Hello. It seems that Ubuntu sometimes doesn't show the window to enter my password after it went into sleep-mode or whatever the name is. Is there a way to log out via a tty or any other way I could get back to the OS? | 09:29 |
| dr_willis | dmb__: theres all sorts of indicator applets out that are not in the repos yet | 09:29 |
| dmb__ | theadmin: so I just literally write that string somewhere in a 'startup apps' dialog? | 09:29 |
| theadmin | Mrokii: "sudo service lightdm restart" or whatnot | 09:29 |
| theadmin | dmb__: Yes, as a command :D | 09:29 |
| dr_willis | dmb__: see askubuntu.com lists | 09:29 |
| theadmin | dmb__: That dialog in XFCE is called "Session and startup" | 09:29 |
| newbee | it seems i have to install sane to use scanner | 09:29 |
| Mrokii | theadmin: I'll try, thanks. | 09:30 |
| dmb__ | dr_willis: I'm used to right clicking the panel and clicking 'add app', but that's obviously soo last milenium | 09:30 |
| dr_willis | newbee: nakes sence to me. | 09:30 |
| dmb__ | theadmin: thanks | 09:30 |
| dmb__ | newbee: yes | 09:30 |

| dr_willis | dmb__: for unity or the gnome fallback or classic? | 09:31 |
| drizt | so old ... | 09:31 |
| theadmin | drizt: Apparently not. | 09:31 |
| drizt | hm ... is there hplip ppa? I can't found it. | 09:31 |
| newbee | dr_willis: simple scanner detects scanner but cant scan. checking online sane lists my device as supported. | 09:32 |

| esc | i'm trying to upgrade to oneric, but i get an error message from the distribution upgrader | 09:32 |
| dmb__ | newbee: sanescan? | 09:32 |
| esc | it says i have packages on hold, but i have no packages on hold | 09:33 |
| theadmin | esc: Tell us the error message, huh? | 09:33 |
| dmb__ | esc: you may want to try onan before upgrading | 09:33 |
| q_a_z_steve | Hey, can anyone help me get one specific line out of 158 email? | 09:33 |
| theadmin | dmb__: Oh, interesting | 09:33 |
| theadmin | esc: That was for you, sorry, misclicked | 09:33 |
| newbee | dmb__: sane and xsane. | 09:33 |
| theadmin | esc: Try doing "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" first. | 09:33 |
| dmb__ | newbee: there is a sane command to find scanners iirc | 09:34 |
| esc | theadmin: one sec, i'll get exact error message again | 09:34 |

| dmb__ | theadmin: ++ | 09:34 |
| esc | theadmin: all my packages are up to date | 09:35 |
| esc | i upgraded to natty yesterday | 09:35 |
| newbee | dmb__: finds scanner alright but cant open it | 09:35 |
| theadmin | esc: Oh, hm, well, multiple upgrades on Ubuntu aren't really a good idea, even a single upgrade can break a lot | 09:35 |
| esc | it worked fine last night, to my amazement | 09:36 |
| dmb__ | newbee: certain sane commands need to be run as root | 09:36 |
| dmb__ | (sorry, I'm not reading any specific advice, just going from memory) | 09:36 |
| deej1976 | newbee: "simple scan" should be install by default, nice scanning program | 09:37 |
| esc | theadmin: is there a way to do an upgrade to a newer version using command line | 09:37 |
| theadmin | esc: Sure, it's "sudo do-release-upgrade" | 09:37 |
| theadmin | esc: But it won't be any different most likely | 09:37 |
| esc | i'll try that, maybe the output will be more verbose | 09:38 |
| dmb__ | ok, gnome windows in xfce... looks nice | 09:38 |
| dmb__ | now... how do I disable autoraise on focus follows mouse? | 09:38 |
| newbee | deej1976: installed by default doesnt read my scanner | 09:39 |

| lharwood | malemauritius: you for real? | 09:39 |
| chingser | yeahhh | 09:39 |
| newbee | i also wonder the webcam worked during installation. it uses my pix for user profile log in pictures, but i cant seem to launch it on its own. i had to install cheese for that. | 09:40 |
| theadmin | newbee: Well, yeah, you kinda need some app to use the webcam | 09:40 |
| theadmin | newbee: Cheese or kamoso or whatever | 09:40 |
| skandee | d | 09:40 |
| newbee | deej1976: its a plustek OpticSlim m12 scanner. my research online has it listed under sane supported devices | 09:41 |
| dmb__ | oh wow this really sucsk.. I must be too old | 09:41 |
| dmb__ | right click on 'workspaces' icon in pannel -> settings -> number of workspaces -> 4 ... nothing ... no new workspaces | 09:41 |
| dmb__ | I guess 1 is the number of workspaces xbuntu suggests... forever | 09:42 |
| jaketb | Hi all, having trouble getting the Ubuntu CD I burned to work, it loads up alright and I get the loading screen with 5 dots then all of a sudden it switches to CLI and goes no further. :/ Any ideas what I might be doing wrong? V-11.10 btw | 09:42 |
| dmb__ | jaketb: could be your hardware | 09:42 |
| dmb__ | can I have 2 workspaces? | 09:43 |
| cablop | i attempted to install the ATI drivers of my board, but they failed, then i disabled them, now, the system is not loading the hardware acceleration that it loaded before! what can i do? | 09:43 |
| dmb__ | is this because I'm running metacity? | 09:43 |
| dmb__ | I realize this seems like I'm doing nothing but complaining, but everything is broken | 09:43 |
| * dmb__ tries logging out and back in again | 09:43 | |
| esc | here is the error message: http://dpaste.com/645974/ | 09:44 |
| jaketb | dmb_ : Thanks, this is what I am thinking, though it is all fairly new HW and I wouldn't have thought there would be an issue. Also, I have ran other versions of Ubuntu before. Maybe I will try burning to a different brand of CD, or even a DVD haha, you never know, | 09:44 |
| dmb__ | I like 8.04 | 09:44 |
| dmb__ | still only 1 workspace, after setting 'number of workspaces = 4' | 09:45 |
| Hapz | what was the command, like `uniq` that would parse a file and remove duplicates | 09:45 |
| Hapz | like if some line occures 10 times, only leave 1 instance of it | 09:45 |
| lukicat | hey guys | 09:45 |
| deej1976 | newbee: have you got libsane-extras installed ? | 09:45 |
| dmb__ | Hapz: uniq | 09:45 |
| Hapz | dmb__ no.. | 09:45 |
| dmb__ | Hapz: 'cus uniq needs sort? | 09:46 |
| newbee | deej1976: nope. i only did apt-get install sane and xsane | 09:46 |
| lukicat | trying to install ubuntu 11.10 but while booting it stops at "Stopping System V runlevel compatibility". any idea what causes this? | 09:46 |
| jaketb | lukicat : I'm having the same issue :/ | 09:46 |
| === SomeoneWeirdAFK is now known as SomeoneWeird | ||
| jaketb | Although I get a few more lines of text after that | 09:46 |
| lukicat | hmm | 09:47 |
| Hapz | dmb__ found it, its sort -u | 09:47 |
| dmb__ | Hapz: what does uniq do then? | 09:47 |
| lukicat | on the most machines it worked straight through but on this f.... sony vaio notebook nothing will happen =( | 09:47 |
| Hapz | dmb__ "report or omit repeated lines" ? | 09:47 |
| dmb__ | isn't that what you want? | 09:48 |
| jaketb | I installed it on a computer that was 10 years old yesterday, but on my 2 year old lappy, nothing haha | 09:48 |
| * dmb__ disables metacity to see if it gives him more workspaces... | 09:48 | |
| Hapz | dmb__ not exactly. | 09:48 |
| newbee | deej1976: same error | 09:48 |
| Hapz | i dont care which lines are repeated. i just need to remove duplicates | 09:48 |
| * dmb__ starts hyper-ventilating | 09:49 | |
| jaketb | lukicat : the only thing I can think of is to use a USB instead, if that doesn't work, install an older version and update(is that possible?) | 09:49 |
| benjick | Hello. I'm trying to set a static IP in 11.10. But it says not all variables set. See http://gyazo.com/c98eebb1a40014c6802f9c415eab22c8.png | 09:49 |
| lukicat | already tried to boot from usb | 09:50 |
| dmb__ | OK, when I login to xfce without 'metacity --replace' I can bump the number of workspaces using the workspaces app in the xfce panel, however, when I then hit metacity --replace, it jumps back to 1 workspace | 09:50 |
| lukicat | jaketb, yeah i think about the solution of the earlier version and then upgrade | 09:50 |
| deej1976 | http://www.fishandcross.com/blog/?p=844newbee: | 09:50 |
| dmb__ | do I need to bring in the metacity configuration apps into xfce? | 09:50 |
| deej1976 | newbee: http://www.fishandcross.com/blog/?p=844 | 09:50 |
| dmb__ | and how painfull is that? | 09:50 |
| lukicat | but from the installed 10.04 i get an update error :D | 09:50 |
| jaketb | damnit | 09:50 |
| lukicat | so maybe i'll install 11.04 | 09:50 |

| dmb__ | soreau: although the xfce panel contains a workspace configuration applet, it configures the xfce wm (but displays the metacity workspace config) | 09:53 |

| cablop | how can i manually load glx? | 09:55 |
| soreau | cablop: glx is loaded by X. What are you trying to do exactly? | 09:56 |
| cablop | ah, i did it... dunno how | 09:56 |
| deej1976 | devi: which directory? | 09:56 |
| cablop | the propietary driver was causing me issues then i moved to the free one again | 09:56 |
| devi | i just need cpy one folder in to anthore folder using command lin | 09:57 |
| soreau | cablop: Are you having trouble with your graphics driver? | 09:57 |
| cablop | it is unveliebable that the proprietary driver was worse tha the oss one | 09:57 |

| soreau | caplink811_log: So what's your problem? | 09:57 |

| === corsair is now known as Guest48762 | ||

| devi | i will tery | 09:58 |
| dmb__ | soreau: since I'm in gconf-editor... how do I turn off 'autoraise' with focus follows mouse? | 09:59 |
| cablop | then i remoed that driver using the additionaldrivers thingy, and then i restarted faling into gnome 2d and unable to enable the acceleration features again | 09:59 |
| dmb__ | I've got focus follows mouse set to sloppy, which is how I like it | 09:59 |

| dmb__ | so I'm often left looking at a half invisible window | 10:02 |

| phlak_user | sarthor, that doesnt look like the driver is loaded | 10:30 |
| sarthor | phlak_user: OK. what to do for this now? | 10:30 |
| dmb_ | sorry, network issue | 10:31 |
| phlak_user | sarthor, can you do a sudo modprobe -v b43 | 10:31 |
| dmb_ | didn't see replies... I wonder if you saw my ranting | 10:31 |
| dmb_ | so... what happened to all the nice gnome-panel apps that I have grown acustomed to reading subconsciously? | 10:31 |
| shadowhate | hello there, i've just performed an upgrade from 10.04.3 to 11.10, but why does my previous apps didn't show up, and also the wireless LED isn't working but i've already installed its driver | 10:31 |
| sarthor | phlak_user: http://paste.ubuntu.com/726173/ | 10:32 |
| shadowhate | hope someone can help me, or else i may have had to return to lucid :( | 10:32 |
| phlak_user | sarthor, ok now it should work ; check network-manager | 10:32 |
| soreau | shadowhate: What's wrong? | 10:32 |
| shadowhate | hello there, i've just performed an upgrade from 10.04.3 to 11.10, but why does my previous apps didn't show up, and also the wireless LED isn't working but i've already installed its driver | 10:33 |
| soreau | shadowhate: Can you repeat again? | 10:33 |
| sarthor | phlak_user: I removed and reinstalled netwrok manager, but no change | 10:33 |
| MonkeyDust | shadowhate: did you upgrade or fresh install? | 10:34 |
| soreau | sarthor: You don't need to mess with network-manager. It works fine if your network drivers are working | 10:34 |
| phlak_user | sarthor, can you pastebin last few lines of /var/log/syslog after you loaded the driver | 10:34 |
| phlak_user | sarthor, yes, dont reinstall network manager | 10:34 |
| shadowhate | i performed an UPGRADE only from 10.04.3 to 11.10 | 10:34 |
| shadowhate | but my previous apps failed to showed up or restore, also the wireless LED indicator isnt working | 10:35 |
| sarthor | phlak_user: http://paste.ubuntu.com/726176/ I pressed "fn+F5" also once. that is Wireless card switch too | 10:35 |

| devi | i try this link wget http://apache.hoxt.com/tomcat/tomcat-7/v7.0.20/bin/apache-tomcat-7.0.20-fulldocs.tar.gz | 10:37 |

| sarthor | again | 10:38 |
| shadowhate | i thought 11.10 would be friendly to my notebook :( | 10:38 |
| etfb | dmb_: I'm using 11.10. | 10:38 |
| soreau | sarthor: Is it an HP laptop with a switch by chance? | 10:38 |
| dmb_ | etfb: there is a program to set the default apps somewhere | 10:38 |

| phlak_user | sarthor, as per this, its loaded -> Broadcom 43xx driver loaded [ Features: PNL, Firmware-ID: FW13 ] | 10:39 |

| sarthor | phlak_user: http://paste.ubuntu.com/726182/ | 10:39 |
| kamiccolo | eww broadcom | 10:40 |
| etfb | dmb_: Ah, it's in System Settings | System Info | Default Applications... but it doesn't include the option for "Open Folder", only for a smattering of common file types. | 10:40 |
| skoef | h | 10:40 |
| phlak_user | sarthor output of sudo iwlist eth1 scan | 10:40 |
| dmb_ | etfb: hmm... when you say 'open' you mean double click it in the.. what? | 10:40 |
| sarthor | phlak_user: http://paste.ubuntu.com/726183/ | 10:41 |
| phlak_user | sarthor, so its working :) | 10:41 |
| sarthor | phlak_user: how? i can not see any available network. alot arround. | 10:41 |
| etfb | dmb_: Any other program. For example, download a file using Firefox, then use the Download window, select the downloaded file and click "Open Containing Folder". It should run nautilus as the current user, but instead it runs it using gksudo as root. | 10:41 |
| phlak_user | sarthor, is this the ssid of your ap/router -> 0544430701 | 10:41 |
| sarthor | yes. | 10:42 |
| dr_willis | etfb: you somehow set the default open folder.. tobe sudo nautilus? | 10:42 |
| etfb | Anything that used to run Nautilus now runs gksudo | 10:42 |
| dr_willis | thats..weird | 10:42 |
| etfb | dr_willis: I don't believe I did. It seems to be a side effect of upgrading from Natty to Oneiric. | 10:42 |
| * dmb_ makes a new rule... never upgrade... ever | 10:43 | |
| cablop | does cp by default preserve permissions? | 10:43 |
| etfb | But yes, Doctor, I am in complete agreement with your medical diagnosis. "Weird" is the word. | 10:43 |
| etfb | dmb_: This is the first time I haven't followed that rule. Last time, too. | 10:43 |
| dr_willis | i know how to fix it useing that ubuntu-tweak tool. not sure of any other easy way | 10:43 |
| Stanley00 | cablop: no, afaik | 10:43 |
| soreau | !ping | 10:43 |
| ubottu | another contentless ping... sigh... | 10:43 |
| dmb_ | etfb: me too, forced to upgrade for a repo at work | 10:43 |
| soreau | dr_willis: How to use apt-file search with ubottu ? | 10:44 |
| cablop | hey ubotu, hard toget up this morning xD | 10:44 |
| sarthor | phlak_user: network manager can not see any network. and also that says, device is not Managed. | 10:44 |
| dr_willis | !find geany | 10:44 |
| ubottu | Found: geany, geany-plugin-addons, geany-plugin-codenav, geany-plugin-doc, geany-plugin-extrasel, geany-plugin-gdb, geany-plugin-gendoc, geany-plugin-insertnum, geany-plugin-latex, geany-plugin-lipsum (and 12 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=geany&searchon=names&suite=oneiric§ion=all | 10:44 |
| etfb | You'd think that Canonical could get upgrading to work, given that even Microsoft have finally managed it... Admittedly, MS only upgrades their OS once a decade... | 10:44 |
| dr_willis | like that you mean? | 10:44 |
| soreau | dr_willis: I think that's similar to apt-cache search | 10:44 |
| cablop | i meant ubottu | 10:44 |
| soreau | dr_willis: I mean apt-file, to find what file a package belongs to | 10:45 |
| dr_willis | etfb: i tend to reibstall windiws without upgradeing.. :-) | 10:45 |
| soreau | or what package provides a file | 10:45 |
| phlak_user | sarthor, can you show me output of sudo lshw -C network again (with the new driver) | 10:45 |
| dr_willis | i just use apt file on the cli. ;-) | 10:45 |
| dr_willis | !find /bin/vi | 10:46 |
| soreau | dr_willis: Well there's a way to do it with ubottu, I just can't remember how | 10:46 |
| etfb | dr_willis: I don't even upgrade my toaster. Every morning it's the same: reformat, install the new OS, put the bread in, toast it, butter it... | 10:46 |
| ubottu | File /bin/vi found in argyll, argyll-dbg, autodock-vina, axiom-graphics, crystalspace, elvis-tiny, ginac-tools, glew-utils, graphviz, hugin-tools (and 67 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=/bin/vi&mode=&suite=oneiric&arch=any | 10:46 |

| sarthor | phlak_user: output, http://paste.ubuntu.com/726188/ and also if it is working, we can try via dhcpclient, I do not know that command in txt mode | 10:47 |
| sarthor | phlak_user: this out put says. network Dislabled. | 10:48 |
| dr_willis | bbl. | 10:48 |
| phlak_user | sarthor, in fact, it looks the same as the last one | 10:48 |

| phlak_user | sarthor, yes i saw that earlier | 10:50 |
| soreau | sarthor: What does 'service network-manager status' show? | 10:50 |
| indira | hi frnds | 10:50 |
| phlak_user | indira, devi hi | 10:50 |
| indira | i try this link wget http://apache.hoxt.com/tomcat/tomcat-7/v7.0.20/bin/apache-tomcat-7.0.20-fulldocs.tar.gz | 10:50 |
| sarthor | phlak_user: network-manager start/running, process 1162 | 10:50 |
| indira | but i got ERROR 404: Not Found | 10:51 |
| etfb | Aha! Fixed it, dmb_, dr_willis! Open Nautilus, select a folder anywhere, Open With Other Application and choose "Files" instead of "gksudo". Well duh! I wonder why it got set like that... | 10:51 |
| etfb | Now when I Open Folder in Firefox, it Just Works. | 10:51 |
| soreau | sarthor: What's telling you 'network Dislabled.'? | 10:51 |
| newbee | ...what gui based svn is advocated in linux.? | 10:51 |
| sarthor | soreau: lshw -c network says that | 10:51 |
| cablop | !ubottu root password | 10:51 |
| ubottu | cablop: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 10:51 |
| soreau | sarthor: Does it work if you click on the network icon? | 10:51 |
| cablop | hm | 10:52 |
| soreau | ! root | cablop | 10:52 |
| ubottu | cablop: 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 | 10:52 |
| etfb | newbee: I looked at a bunch a while ago and they were all genuinely awful. | 10:52 |
| Kingsy | anyone know a ppa that has truecrypt in it? | 10:52 |
| sarthor | soreau: there, Wirless networks. .. and under that, "Device is not managed" | 10:52 |
| cablop | why ubuntupeople does insist that root pwd is a bad idea? | 10:52 |
| soreau | newbee: Why do you want a gui for subversion? | 10:52 |
| soreau | sarthor: Can you pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces file to pastebin.com? | 10:52 |
| phlak_user | Kingsy, install it from site | 10:53 |
| Kingsy | I have heard that there are .deb truecrypt files around but I cant find one, I don't really want to install it from source.. well mostly cos I don't know how :P | 10:53 |
| cablop | soreau: use tortoisesvn on windows and you'll realize why a subversion gui | 10:53 |
| Kingsy | phlak_user: you mean just download the tar.gz ? | 10:53 |
| etfb | cablop: That's the Debian way. It's a philosophical thing. Neither way is clearly better, but Debian and hence Ubuntu do it this way. | 10:53 |
| soreau | cablop: I don't think I will | 10:53 |
| deej1976 | newbee: rapidsvn | 10:53 |
| soreau | cablop: CLI is superior.. I'd want to use svn CLI even in windows | 10:53 |
| shadowhate | is it not advisable to run 11.10 on netbooks? | 10:53 |
| phlak_user | Kingsy, yes, its a binary | 10:53 |
| indira | i got error 404 | 10:53 |
| silidan | hi, what ways are there if i need to install ubuntu on a harddrive that is connected via usb to the pc but is intended to be used as a internal drive on a different computer? | 10:53 |
| Kingsy | phlak_user: I am not really sure what you do with that.. | 10:53 |
| cablop | soreau: no way, i used the tortoisesvn thing, it is one of the best open source pieces of software ever | 10:53 |
| indira | pls tell phlak_user | 10:54 |
| phlak_user | Kingsy, the instructions are very clear | 10:54 |
| soreau | cablop: Maybe if you're stuck in gui windoze | 10:54 |
| sarthor | soreau: http://paste.ubuntu.com/726191/ | 10:54 |
| cablop | soreau: not for that, because it handles a lot of things ate the same time in an elegant and efficient way | 10:54 |
| newbee | Tortoise SVN gui app on windows is sweet | 10:54 |
| indira | i didn't get | 10:54 |
| etfb | cablop, soreau: I second the praise for Tortoise. It's a shame there's no native Linux port. RapidSVN was among the ones I tried and laughed at. | 10:54 |
| shadowhate | i'm already starting to hate ubuntu :( | 10:55 |
| Thor8561 | Hi room | 10:55 |
| soreau | sarthor: Comment out the last two lines in that file, save it then restart network-manager with 'sudo service network-manager restart' | 10:55 |
| newbee | my work right now involves too much pressure and i dont want to be bothered on the syntax of svn. | 10:55 |
| etfb | shadowhate: We all hate Ubuntu. The ideal is to hate it less than we hate OS-X, Windows, BeOS, GEOS, TRS-80 DOS, VMS, etc... | 10:55 |
| soreau | shadowhate: What's the problem? | 10:55 |
| sarthor | soreau: I did that already. And i can see networks now. | 10:55 |
| cablop | rapidsvn IS - i guess 40% - of what tortoisesvn is AND it is not well developen PLUS it is made in python... so... | 10:56 |
| soreau | newbee: Then run it in wine? | 10:56 |
| Kingsy | phlak_user: I don't see any instructions | 10:56 |
| sarthor | Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.. Thanks to All of you, and to phlak_user , I love you Man. you given a lot of your time. Thanks. | 10:56 |
| soreau | sarthor: cool.. so does it work now? | 10:56 |
| phlak_user | Kingsy, once you explode the tar ball you will :) | 10:56 |
| shadowhate | it's almost a year i'm advocating linux/ubuntu to my friends and classmates :D | 10:56 |
| newbee | soreau: run it in wine and check into my linux directories? | 10:56 |
| cablop | soreau: imposible tortoisesvn integrates with the file explorer | 10:56 |
| sarthor | soreau: Yea. fine. | 10:56 |
| soreau | sarthor: awesome :-) | 10:56 |
| phlak_user | sarthor, gr8; and thanks to soreau | 10:56 |
| MonkeyDust | or run windows apps in a virtual machine, it's what i do | 10:56 |
| sarthor | soreau: people consider me Network Engg. | 10:56 |
| sarthor | haha | 10:56 |
| newbee | right now am hating my mgt for forcing me to port an app that works fine on windows to linux. | 10:56 |
| lapion | shadowhate, hate not, dislike and install gnome-session-fallback this gives a gnome2 lookalike possibility | 10:56 |
| cablop | the closest thing you are gong to get is RapidSVN, or install an Eclipse and use subclipse on it, no other good solution | 10:57 |
| etfb | soreau: I looked up the instructions for integrating TortoiseSVN with WINE. They scared me. I've been a programmer for thirty years. Make of that what you will. | 10:57 |
| newbee | an app that has lot of driver dependencies. | 10:57 |
| cablop | newbee: or a standalone client, maybe RabbitVCS | 10:57 |
| newbee | I "hate" my job right now. | 10:57 |
| soreau | etfb: I make of that you're old ;) | 10:57 |
| shadowhate | i'm having trouble with Fn keys not working for bluetooth and WiFi | 10:57 |
| cablop | ah, hen i was talking about rapidsvn i was willing to say RabbitVCS | 10:57 |
| deej1976 | newbee: nautilus-script-collection-svn | 10:57 |
| etfb | soreau: You wait until you're 514 years old, young whippersnapper! | 10:57 |
| soreau | shadowhate: Did you try sudo rfkill unblock all? | 10:57 |
| Kingsy | phlak_user: nope.. there is just a file in there, you get an installer if you run it with ./truecrypt-7.1.blah but after you agree to various things the installer just says "press enter to exit" ... | 10:57 |
| soreau | etfb: heh | 10:58 |
| cablop | newbee: anyway RabbitVCS integrates with nautilus same way tortoisesvn does in windows | 10:58 |
| shadowhate | soreau: wait :D | 10:58 |

| indira | 404 Not Found | 11:03 |
| indira | plz tell | 11:04 |

| Kingsy | I don't beleive that.. there must be a way | 11:04 |
| Kingsy | ok I will check that otu | 11:04 |
| cablop | Kingsy: but there's no tool that encrypts the full usb and ask for a password, all are apps in the stick and an encrypted container in the same usb stick | 11:05 |
| indira | how to solve the error | 11:05 |
| cablop | Kingsy: or use two USB, one encrypted and other with the loader, maybe FreeOTFE should work | 11:05 |

| soreau | crackup: You're asking your question in the wrong channel then | 11:09 |
| Kingsy | cablop: I would disagree, there is always need for portable mode, if someone steels your stick, goes home, they plug it into a machine.. they would have admin rights on the machine but they wouldnt have the password to the stick | 11:09 |
| crackup | What channel do i need? | 11:09 |

| Kingsy | steals* | 11:10 |
| Kingsy | cablop: you know what I mean ? | 11:10 |
| cablop | Kingsy: i agree with you, but whati mean is no reason for a portable + truecrypt... because it is not going to work with ease... anyway, my solution to that was to carry two USB sticks, one with some programs and the encrypted one, so i plugged both in the computer i use and use one to decrypt the other | 11:10 |
| cablop | but, if you don't have admin rights it is useless because you cannot *mount* things | 11:11 |
| cablop | so, i used to carry the installer yoo and install it on other computers i used to have access to | 11:11 |
| lapion | pruebaefectos, si pero no ese canal no se permite chatear en otros lenguajes | 11:11 |
| indira | i install apt-get install tomcat6 | 11:12 |

| lapion | simplemente de el commando /j ubuntu-es | 11:13 |
| cablop | Kingsy: but the best solution was to getmy own netbook and use it wherever i go and keeping the USB and the netbook both encrypted | 11:13 |
| lapion | simplemente de el commando /j #ubuntu-es | 11:14 |

| cablop | Kingsy: but you are not going to be able to plug it everywhere, because th problem is with the portable program | 11:17 |
| deej1976 | indira: updated for 11.10: https://help.ubuntu.com/11.10/serverguide/C/tomcat.html | 11:17 |
| Kingsy | cablop: how do the commericial solutions do it? | 11:17 |
| Kingsy | companies like iron key etc | 11:17 |
| cablop | Kingsy: same problem, you need admin rights to open them | 11:18 |
| Kingsy | I still don't see why thats a problem | 11:18 |
| cablop | Kingsy: but it is more like plugging an ipone or other usb device with some intelligence inside | 11:18 |
| Kingsy | and what is the problem with that? | 11:18 |
| cablop | Kingsy with no admin right no mounting | 11:19 |
| indira | deej1976: i follow that links tomcat is start but it's nt opening web browser | 11:19 |
| cablop | Kingsy: wait... afaik, truecrypt installs on /opt... so maybe by copy/paste iles on a folder on your usb stick will do the trick | 11:19 |
| cablop | *files | 11:19 |
| BennyBoy | In empathy, how do I hide join/part messages? | 11:20 |
| CriSSti | what's with the lag? | 11:20 |
| Kingsy | cablop: naa my opt folder is empty. | 11:20 |
| Kingsy | but tbh I don't mind about needing admin rights to mount.. that really isnt my concern | 11:20 |
| Kingsy | so if you can get it working with linux / windows but it needs admin rights then thats a solution.. | 11:20 |
| deej1976 | indira: Have you read all the documentation on the link provided. | 11:21 |
| indira | yes i red | 11:21 |

| indira | deej1976: from mrng onwards i red that page | 11:22 |
| Kingsy | cablop: but I am still unsure as to how it works? I don't see an option for portable mode in truecrypt I am assuming by that you have to do it manually? | 11:22 |
| cablop | Kingsy: lol, what i mean is if you have a local truecryypt installed, then you have that files there | 11:22 |
| cablop | Kingsy: yep, i think you have to do it manually | 11:23 |
| indira | deej1976: tomcat is start but it continously web browser loading | 11:23 |

| indira | deej1976: plz help | 11:23 |
| deej1976 | indira: can you confirm tomcat is running ? | 11:24 |
| cablop | Kingsy: not for linux, i used truecryp for a long time but mostly in Windows, in linux i installed it to access my windows partitions and so on | 11:24 |

| indira | deej1976: im using this command sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat6 start | 11:27 |
| cablop | Kingsy, my ideal solution is, encrypt it with truecrypt, the whole device, use another usb stick to hold truecrypt for windows and for linux and the installers, try to install them on computers you frequently use on other places, like work or office or a customer client that trust you, and it is going to work nicelly, as an extra you can installit on your netbook o laptop and you are able to open that USB even in the worst scenario | 11:27 |

| cablop | Kingsy: and using truecrypt for windows in portable mode in one of them, never used the linux one | 11:30 |

| jeax | szal: FloodBot3 is over 9000! | 12:56 |
| wunnle | hello all | 12:56 |
| szal | jeax: 9000 what? | 12:57 |
| phlak_user | latha, that line means that your tomcat server is listening to ipv6 addresses; reconfigure it to listen to ipv4 (the tcp6 should be tcp) | 12:57 |
| jeax | szal: google it. 'it's over 9000!' you'll see. | 12:57 |
| wunnle | how can i change startup sound of Ubuntu 11.10 ? | 12:57 |

| truepurple | is there a way to give unity, gnomes menu tree? | 12:58 |
| dr_willis | sdfds: not trying to use a cd+r in an older machine that can only use cd-r? perhaps? | 12:58 |
| posix | anyone knows an IDE for shell script (syntax formatting, auto completion...)? | 12:59 |
| sdfds | dr_willis good question, im running now to check if thats the case | 12:59 |
| jeax | posix: bash scripts? | 12:59 |
| dr_willis | truepurple: theres several ways to add a 'classic gnome' type menu to unity or gnome shell. theres several indicator applets that can do it. (list at askubuntu.com) or some other apps. mentioned at the webupd8 blog site. I might have them bookmarked at http://delicious.com/dr_willis | 12:59 |
| dr_willis | sdfds: it would have to be an old machine for that to be an issue.. but it happened to me once.. | 13:00 |
| phlak_user | latha, now you need to specify address in server.xml as 0.0.0.0 so that it binds to an ipv4 address | 13:00 |
| szal | dr_willis: what's a CD+R? | 13:00 |
| faint545 | so how do i replace alsa with pulseaudio? | 13:00 |

| roracle | hey guys, i had something going in Transmission and now when i go to delete the files from Transmission it crashes the program. I can't find where it keeps temporary files | 13:01 |
| faint545 | szal, ohhh | 13:01 |
| latha | phlak_user: ok i wil try | 13:01 |
| dr_willis | szal: ages ago you had cd+r and cd-r disks.. same goes for dvd's.. then there was the rw disks... | 13:01 |
| szal | dr_willis: guess you're confusing something there.. CD+R never existed | 13:02 |
| dr_willis | szal: i may be thinking of + and - rw | 13:02 |
| szal | dr_willis: DVD+R and DVD-R, otoh, did (and still do) | 13:02 |
| dr_willis | i definatly had an old sony that only took one type. | 13:02 |
| drake01 | truepurple, you may give a try to cairo dock.. it has a default icon for application menu.. which opens applications arranged in the old alacarte (the old menu you are talking about)... Other than that.. I don't think the panels with unity are flexible enough to configure it to show application icon.. | 13:02 |
| * MisterMom has a stack of CR+R sitting in front of him | 13:03 | |
| szal | dr_willis: yeah, for DVDs such drives existed | 13:03 |

| * phlak_user CR+R ? | 13:03 | |
| MisterMom | szal, sorry no cam | 13:03 |
| truepurple | drake01, so you mean it shows the menu tree, but not the icons/pictures next each menu option? | 13:04 |
| MisterMom | my mistake DVD+R | 13:04 |

| truepurple | phlak_user, I Have been having lots of of trouble with getting my radeon 6850 to work with ubuntu. I was told by someone who sounded certain of what he was talking about, that if I were to update the drivers in unity 2d mode, I could get my video card working under linux right and then be able to do such things as use unity 3d mode | 13:31 |
| phlak_user | compdoc, the system will prompt you if it requires a restart | 13:31 |
| compdoc | zetui, try: sudo apt-get upgrade | 13:31 |
| compdoc | zetu, is that what you mean? | 13:31 |
| phlak_user | truepurple, thats not the same as saying updates are not available in different sessions | 13:31 |
| zetui | unfortuanately not | 13:32 |
| zetui | i need kind of apt cli | 13:32 |
| compdoc | phlak_user, does apt-get always prompt? sometimes when it installs a new kernel, apt-get doesnt mention reboots | 13:32 |
| phlak_user | truepurple, what that means is that once your radeon is configured properly in *safe* mode, you can use it for 3d | 13:32 |
| phlak_user | compdoc, apt-get never prompts, the package-manager does | 13:32 |

| solars | is there a built in equalizer in ubuntu/gnome? can't find one | 13:34 |
| truepurple | phlak_user, No, I was expressly instructed in installing 2d unity so I could go into unity, not safe mode, and get the needed drives so that I can use unity 3d and have other things work right with my video card. I was specifically told that the reason I was having trouble was because I was trying to do it in "classic mode" | 13:34 |
| zetui | in the same way i want to do for apt | 13:34 |
| zetui | possible ? | 13:34 |
| phlak_user | zetui, you mean does apt have a shell of its own? no | 13:34 |
| MonkeyDust | zetui: you want a permanent apt prompt? | 13:35 |
| zetui | something like apt-cli connect | 13:35 |
| phlak_user | truepurple, ok cool | 13:35 |
| sysadamin | phlak_user: zetui try aptitude | 13:35 |
| zetui | then you just only have to choose the package | 13:35 |
| MonkeyDust | there dpkg | 13:35 |
| szal | aptitude doesn't have a built-in shell either, at least not that I know of.. it does have a ncurses UI though | 13:35 |
| zetui | something like apt-get install connect | 13:35 |
| phlak_user | sysadamin, thats curses based; better try dselect | 13:35 |
| zetui | to connect to cli | 13:35 |
| zetui | the enter the name of the packet | 13:36 |
| truepurple | phlak_user, But I forgot this persons name so I can't ask them more. If I knew how to look into xchats logs, I could perhaps find our old conversation and know the name too, but I don't know how to do that either. | 13:36 |
| sysadamin | zetui: why add confusion? | 13:36 |

| solars | soreau, thanks a lot | 13:38 |
| truepurple | phlak_user, Didn't you say the drivers etc gotten under unity were the same as the ones under gnome? So why would I need to be in unity to get the drivers working? | 13:38 |

| phlak_user | truepurple, you have started with an assumption which i cant validate; for example if i needed to install drivers for my wireless, it wouldnt matter what wm i was using | 13:39 |
| zetui | use install | 13:39 |
| zetui | package | 13:39 |
| Someguy2 | i really want to install Ubuntu in my Pentium III | 13:39 |
| zetui | in the same Way of myqsl | 13:39 |

| zetui | that would be better | 13:39 |

| zetui | what you think ppl ? | 13:39 |

| phlak_user | jbwiv__, just a way of tweaking system resources (on my laptop it helps me change performance mode from max performance to high performance to power saver | 13:40 |

| truepurple | phlak_user, But I asked you "So this goes against your understanding of things anyway?" And you replied "Not really" | 13:41 |

| jbwiv__ | guys, I have a very strange issue on Ubuntu 11.10 on a new Dell Latitude. Everything works fine when the laptop is on batter power. However, as soon as I plug it in, the mouse pointer movement drags to a crawl and is almost unusable. After unplugging and going back to battery, everything works great. Any ideas what might cause this? | 13:49 |

| D_Russ | ok 5 months | 14:04 |
| linuxuz3r | next year april | 14:04 |
| linuxuz3r | ok | 14:04 |
| edbian | xangua: probably april 2012 | 14:04 |
| linuxuz3r | are they going to keep the unity theme | 14:05 |

| KG | I'm using 11.10. Both of my scanners were working, but now the system does not detect them. What has happened? | 14:05 |
| edbian | xangua: and that's what the numbering means (12 = 20112, .04 = april the fourth month) | 14:05 |
| D_Russ | they need to just stop with this 6 month release crap and just realease them when they are rock solid within a reasonable timeline. | 14:05 |

| xangua | edbian: and you tell this to me instead of linuxuz3r because... | 14:06 |

| mneptok | thrope: sorry, not going to be much help. when i was learning to code in the early 1980s i was told Fortran was not something that would be around for much longer. uhhhh .... ;) | 14:22 |
| deeman | i just need a sorta hello world program tutorial for gui | 14:22 |
| jrib | deeman: depends on language. If you want to stick to shell scripts, use zenity | 14:22 |
| deeman | ok zenity ....say i wanted to use perl | 14:22 |
| jrib | deeman: pick a toolkit... maybe gtk | 14:22 |
| thrope | mneptok: that isn't much help! :) but for mixed language it is really nice because no other language has first class array objects... can seamless mix with matlab without copying/reallocation and use openmp and vectorised algorithms easily translated from matlab | 14:22 |

| chris215 | hi, is there some command like aptitude add repository ass opposed to apt-add-repository? i have been switching to aptitude when dealing with software and would like to know.. | 14:23 |
| jrib | deeman: do you already know perl? | 14:23 |
| thrope | soreau: I use it to extend matlab or python for speed (numerics)... vectorised notatino and arrays work very well, and openmp is nice (can do somethings can't do in c++ liek reductioin on arrays and so on) | 14:24 |
| jrib | chris215: no, use apt-add-repository. It just modifies your sources.list | 14:24 |
| deeman | jrib ooh channel perl..sorry i just woke up...no i dont really know perl i mainly use bash shell | 14:24 |
| thrope | soreau: I wouldn't like to rwrite a big app in it but when I want to make a loop faster and parallelise without paying matlab $10,000 it is the quickest and easiest way | 14:24 |

| quixotedon | jbwiv__: have you updated dell bios on your computer? | 14:26 |
| jrib | deeman: well look up a hello world example for zenity and see if that's good enough. If not, then look one up for perl (and I'll suggest python to you as well). Once you pick a language, pick a toolkit (I would just go with gtk, but ask the #perl or #python people for options) | 14:26 |

| dr_willis | gulzar: ubuntu uses compiz also | 15:04 |
| gulzar | dr_willis: right but how to set my top left corner to mouse to show all the working apps? | 15:05 |
| gulzar | dr_willis: I installed compiz and is using it with cairo-dock on XFCE but this binding is the thing I want to know. | 15:05 |
| mathgirl | I am able to login by safemode, and to things at the CLI. | 15:06 |
| mathgirl | I can also ssh into the machine while it sits frozen at ubuntu... so it's easy to tell what's going on if that's helpful. | 15:06 |
| ceej | hi, is there anyway to not show this screen http://screencast.com/t/ilnJZobX and just always do the option selected? | 15:07 |
| dr_willis | gulzar: no idea. some setting in ccsm i imagine | 15:07 |
| ceej | so I see http://screencast.com/t/BJwCRqQM | 15:08 |
| ceej | can I set a timeout ? | 15:08 |
| gulzar | dr_willis: right but not getting them. Expo shows workspaces similarly there must be something to show all apps.. but don't know what is it.. i will ask knoppix people | 15:08 |

| mathgirl | Should I restart even though I got that weird error? | 15:26 |
| theadmin | !upstart | d4gg3r: Read this | 15:26 |
| ubottu | d4gg3r: Read this: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 15:26 |

| dmb_ | denny: yeah, I'm not good with backup is all | 16:27 |

| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 16:38 |

| hrolf | It's like I type "Docu" for getting into the Documents folder and then I type "Eboo" to get into my Ebooks folder, but the previous buffer "Docu" is still there, so it becomes "DocuEboo" | 16:39 |

| viliny | calamity, partition your linux drive into 2 separate partitions, make sure the one you are making for windows is large enough to accomodate the installation and then use disk ghosting software to copy over the other HD into that partition you just made for windows | 16:54 |
| niranjan | xangua: that helped - now at least I know which application I am switching to when I do alt-tab | 16:54 |

| calamity | viliny, fair enough. and to actually create this second partition, I assume I"ll most likely need a live cd? | 16:55 |

| mathgirl | I also added something like noprobe to grub but that didn't work. | 17:11 |
| viliny | azriel, anything you can help me with? | 17:11 |
| mathgirl | I'm able to ssh into the machine, so I can provide any information about it that would be useful. | 17:11 |
| Spartakus | mathgirl, startx | 17:11 |
| azriel | viliny: well the first problem i see is you're using ubuntu 11.10 (joke), on a more serious note are you using out of the box version or did you modify anything | 17:11 |
| mathgirl | Spartakus, | 17:11 |
| Spartakus | I have the same problem, but, I switch into other terminal, and type startx | 17:11 |
| viliny | azriel, should be pretty much out of the box | 17:11 |
| Spartakus | it will start X and gnome | 17:11 |
| him | :( | 17:11 |
| methods | is it not possible to login to the old school desktop anymore ? | 17:12 |
| mathgirl | Spartakus, it's actually frozen at the ubuntu..... startup screen. I can't switch to another terminal via Ctrl-Alt F3 | 17:12 |
| mathgirl | I can run it from the ssh terminal | 17:12 |
| Spartakus | mathgirl, oh, i see, then it is a different problem with mine | 17:12 |
| mathgirl | Spartakus: X: user not authorized to run the X server, aborting. | 17:12 |
| mathgirl | xinit: giving up | 17:12 |
| viliny | mathgirl, that sounds like a problem | 17:13 |
| mathgirl | viliny: Which kind of problem? | 17:13 |
| mathgirl | The people helping me an hour ago seemed to think it was about my video card. | 17:13 |
| Spartakus | mathgirl, I am sorry, I can not help you, because I am also a Linux beginner user :D | 17:13 |
| viliny | mathgirl, well the if you aren't allowed to run the x server... but that aside, i don't think i know how to help you there | 17:13 |
| azriel | viliny: I'm sorry, i was hoping it was a installation problem, i have those al the time, but your alsa says that's not the problem | 17:13 |
| mathgirl | Spartakus, that's okay. | 17:13 |
| mathgirl | Everything was fine before I upgraded to oneiric. | 17:14 |
| azriel | now see never uprade | 17:14 |
| mathgirl | I started at Lucid, then upgraded to Meerkat no problme. | 17:14 |
| === BROLIENATU is now known as aliengypsy | ||
| viliny | azriel, yeah im peewed, everything seems fine but either theres no sound or i've gone deaf | 17:14 |
| mathgirl | Then I upgraded to Natty no problem. | 17:14 |
| viliny | the first one being more likely | 17:14 |
| azriel | always download the new version back up everything and re install | 17:14 |
| mathgirl | But when i went from Natty to Oneiric I got this problem. | 17:14 |
| Spartakus | azriel, I also stay on Lucid, never upgrade :D | 17:14 |
| Spartakus | I mean distribution upgrade | 17:14 |
| thebishop | in-place upgrading from maverick to natty leaves you with the old Grub, right? | 17:15 |
| mathgirl | If I wanted that much bother, I'd be using Debian. I thought this was Linux for humans. | 17:15 |
| azriel | spartikus: *high five* | 17:15 |
| mathgirl | thebishop: is that true? | 17:15 |
| thebishop | might be worth doing a re-format from pre-unity version | 17:15 |
| thebishop | mathgirl, thought so | 17:15 |
| azriel | mathgirl: linux for humans is like saying free money, it never works in the end | 17:15 |
| auronandace | thebishop: i don't think so, i think karmic was the last to use grub legacy | 17:15 |
| mathgirl | thebishop, so it might be a grub problem? | 17:15 |
| azriel | the huma aspect is the effort you have to put into it | 17:15 |
| auronandace | !grub1 | thebishop | 17:15 |
| ubottu | thebishop: grub 1 is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub for Karmic onwards | 17:15 |
| vishwas | how to use microphone in ubuntu 10.04 | 17:16 |
| thebishop | mathgirl, i didn't see your original post but if you can ssh, it's probably not a grub issue | 17:16 |
| mathgirl | thebishop, that's what makes it so mysterious. | 17:17 |
| anuz | problem with installing android sdk in ubuntu 11.10 for development | 17:17 |
| mathgirl | The machine's screen is frozen at ubuntu..... but I can ssh and do anything I want. | 17:17 |
| mathgirl | would something from dmesg help? | 17:17 |
| thebishop | mathgirl, if you can ssh, you might try changing the runlevel so you can at least log into console locally | 17:17 |
| bobweaver | Hi there I have a live cd from UBUNTU I also9 have ones that I have burned. on the one that I have from ubuntu I installed because I got a busybox on that last partition. afer install I started to upgrade and as soon as I hit sudo apt-get upgrde my mouse will not work on that partition at all anymore. I can get to the terminl and all the hot keys work. it is just the mouse that will not work. I alsoknow that the mouse is good because I am using | 17:18 |
| bobweaver | it right not on a different partition that is also ubuntu. Any suggestions ? | 17:18 |
| Spartakus | vishwas, I am using Lucid too, but it seems that microphone works just fine because in the sound preferences, when I am talking something, the input level follow my voice | 17:18 |
| azriel | seriously mathgirl just back everything up and reinstall the new version, upgrading comes with ALOT of problems | 17:18 |
| mathgirl | I can login to the console locally by starting in recovery mode. Is that any different? | 17:18 |
| urlin2u | bobweaver, is it a p2p mouse | 17:18 |
| bobweaver | dmesg also sees mouse | 17:18 |
| bobweaver | urlin2u: nope interneal pad | 17:18 |

| neurochrome | hi all, can anyone tell me if this is normal... when I change things in gnome-shell, (say, install a shell-extension), I have to logout and back in again for it to take effect. even alt+f2 'r' doesn't show the newly install extension in tweak tool | 17:19 |
| mathgirl | azriel, I can always perform a fresh install (with all the time and prep it takes). I'm trying to see if that can be avoided. | 17:19 |
| bobweaver | I find it funny that the cd is from ubuntu and mine work great :>) | 17:19 |
| mathgirl | Especially considering everything works except X. | 17:19 |
| neurochrome | I shouldn't have to logout to see most UI changes take effect | 17:19 |
| neurochrome | I shouldn't have to logout to install an extension | 17:19 |
| Spartakus | vishwas, Ah, yes, I have just recorded my singing in 10.04, and it works good :D | 17:20 |
| neurochrome | this is a step backwards IMO | 17:20 |
| k_89 | anyone has any idea about this : http://scrp.at/aGr ... its not completely a php thing .. sessions stopped working after my laptop crashed and i backed up its hard-disk in another PC, and then when things were fine, i put it back in | 17:20 |

| jakubo | im still having trouble resetting sound to its former loudness. | 17:21 |
| jakubo | is there a way to do it without alsamixer? (and without reinstallation?) | 17:21 |
| urlin2u | neurochrome, its as if you think we care anything of your opinion or that canonical does as well | 17:21 |
| mathgirl | thebishop, should I really change the runlevel, or is logging in via recovery mode the same? | 17:21 |
| bobweaver | I love ubuntu 11.10 !! It is awesome and seems to work great but the mouse ... on the other hand ...\ | 17:21 |
| szal | mathgirl: did you pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log already (or have a look in it yourself)? | 17:21 |
| thebishop | mathgirl, if you can log in via recovery, do that | 17:21 |

| Spartakus | bobweaver, just like metacity or window maker | 17:25 |
| szal | mathgirl: one of your previous pastes seemed to suggest that you have packages to update; I'd suggest you run 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade' | 17:25 |

| bobweaver | Spartakus: how to make it so it will not happen anymore to me ?? | 17:26 |
| Spartakus | bobweaver, if you want a simple GUI, you can choose window manager instead of a full blown desktop environment | 17:26 |

| Loptr | How can i change the default taskbar music control from Banshee to some other player? | 18:43 |
| bobweaver | theadmin: look here is tar http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/oneiric/man4/bce.4freebsd.html | 18:43 |
| mathgirl | !!!!!! | 18:43 |
| riffautae | friskd: vnc is prolly the only optio | 18:43 |
| bobweaver | mathgirl: \0/ ??? | 18:43 |
| riffautae | friskd: or x forwarding possibly | 18:43 |
| mathgirl | startx flashed a screen that said "NVidia" with a logo then stopped | 18:43 |
| neriko | scarleo: Yes, it's been verified | 18:43 |
| riffautae | friskd: but then if you close the ssh connection it will stop the test | 18:43 |
| mathgirl | I'll try properly restarting. | 18:44 |
| friskd | riffautae: could it not just execute a command and then dissconnect? | 18:44 |
| friskd | letting the command run on its own. | 18:44 |
| bobweaver | mathgirl: please let us see a lsmod when you get a chance :>) | 18:44 |
| mathgirl | bobweaver: Not quite, but it's progress. | 18:44 |
| albert | teamview is perfect, thanks very much | 18:44 |

| andi2342346 | hi, i need helü to fix my ubuntu installation. i try to remove all fglrx stuff. apt-get purge fglrx* displays "E: Couldn't find package fglrx_8.902-0ubuntu1_i386.deb" ... i installed this package with dpkg -i , but it is not longer installed i think | 18:44 |
| friskd | riffautae: do i have to install ubuntu desktop to use vnc (assuming i want to run firefox on the server)? | 18:44 |
| riffautae | friskd: you'll need X and a basic window manager | 18:45 |
| riffautae | friskd: ubuntu server can run x and this will prevent a heavy desktop enviro from being installed | 18:45 |
| matrix3000 | bobweaver: sorry was tied up, and no the module did not load | 18:45 |
| wildbat | is there a way to set up the PATH so that. it will look for current directly when execute commands as $ babababa, instead of $ ./babababa ? | 18:45 |

| bobweaver | matrix3000: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/oneiric/man4/bce.4freebsd.html | 18:46 |
| matrix3000 | bobweaver: the module was not found so it gave a fatal error | 18:46 |
| mathgirl | First I get the Ubuntu splash. | 18:46 |
| friskd | riffautae: that is what i want. So i just need to figure out how to instal "X"? | 18:46 |
| mathgirl | Then a quick NVidia splash. | 18:46 |
| bobweaver | matrix3000: read that page real good | 18:46 |
| mathgirl | Then a spinning wheel and gdm has started. | 18:46 |
| friskd | What is a basic window manager you recommend? | 18:46 |
| theadmin | mathgirl: Congratulations :) Glad you solved it! | 18:46 |
| theadmin | friskd: openbox | 18:46 |
| riffautae | friskd: if your remote system has plenty of power ubuntu desktop will be easier. other wise yes install X | 18:46 |
| bobweaver | matrix3000: \0/ | 18:46 |
| bobweaver | sorry | 18:46 |
| bobweaver | mathgirl: \o/ ??? | 18:47 |

| matrix3000 | bobwever: were is loader.conf? | 18:47 |
| friskd | riffautae: is it just called "X" | 18:47 |
| mathgirl | bobweaver: Yes, I believ so. Though, let's see what happens when I try logging in. | 18:47 |
| riffautae | friskd: xfce is simular to gnome, but something like fluxbox or openbox will use less resources and only take a tiny learning | 18:47 |

| ubottu | 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 | 18:57 |

| ActionParsnip | AbuMaia: have you asked in #compiz too. You may want to make your compiz settings default then rebuild | 19:23 |
| lapion | reisio, paravirtualisation does not virtualize hardware | 19:23 |
| iceroot | reisio: specially for the speed of io-devices | 19:23 |
| reisio | lapion: so what | 19:23 |
| AbuMaia | ActionParsnip: Haven't tried #compiz yet, thanks. | 19:23 |

| os__ | iceroot, sorry but how to create that file? | 19:24 |
| iceroot | os__: with an editor, imo there is nothing for helping to create it | 19:24 |
| urlin2u | DRDD, you would have to modify what used to be gconf-editor not sure you can unless you install gconf which is considered deprecated | 19:24 |

| iceroot | tawtaw: replace it with the kernel you want to get the source-package | 19:27 |
| _platypus_ | Is there any tool that will allow me to tweak Unity? (The icons are huge.) | 19:27 |

| DRDD | Sorry, but just the opposite. I want to shut down, not suspend. | 19:28 |

| tawtaw | iceroot: that is not the kernel | 19:30 |
| tawtaw | :) | 19:30 |
| DRDD | It used to be but with the new version it seems not. | 19:30 |
| iceroot | tawtaw: 99mb is the 3.0.0-12-generic source-package | 19:30 |
| lapion | dmz the top bar is grabable | 19:30 |
| sianhulo | DRDD, let me search a little | 19:30 |
| iceroot | tawtaw: Es müssen 99,5 MB an Quellarchiven heruntergeladen werden. | 19:30 |
| limitgb | thank you | 19:30 |
| dmz | the top bar of the window is not grabbable; it is covered by the top status bar of the window manager (panel) | 19:30 |
| dmz | the window opens to position 0x0; so any panels I have cover up the top portion of the windows | 19:31 |
| urlin2u | DRDD, did you look in gnome-tweak-tool shell? | 19:31 |
| iceroot | tawtaw: ah as it seems you can use "apt-get source linux" to always get the current source-package | 19:31 |
| tawtaw | iceroot: ok my bad, the lowlatency package my cousin uses is not getting that | 19:31 |
| DRDD | As I said, I'm new to this. What is the gnome-tweak tool? | 19:32 |
| lapion | dmz the panel is the topbar if the window is maximised' | 19:32 |
| iceroot | tawtaw: that command is pulling from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git-repos/ubuntu/ubuntu-oneiric.git | 19:32 |
| cousin_luigi | DRDD: a tool to make the gnome-shell experience somewhat more tolerable | 19:32 |
| dmz | lapion the window isn't maximized | 19:32 |
| dmz | lapion this only happened on my 11.10 upgrade; was good before then | 19:32 |
| urlin2u | DRDD, you install it and then run gnome-tweak-tool in the terminal to get a gui yiou will see. | 19:32 |
| urlin2u | you* | 19:32 |
| lapion | dmz what application ? | 19:32 |
| dmz | lapion when i open a window (any window) it puts the top (draggable) bar behind the top notices panel on top of screen - for anything i open | 19:33 |
| DRDD | Thanks for the information. I'll try to look it up. | 19:33 |
| dmz | for firefox/thunderbird/terminal window/..... | 19:33 |
| lapion | dmz that only happens when window is maximised | 19:33 |
| tawtaw | apt-get source linux-image-3.0.0-13-lowlatency-pae is not installing the source, i dont get it :/ should i download the source seperatly and then apply the lowlatency files when i build it? | 19:33 |
| dmz | sorry but it is happening with all windows i open | 19:33 |
| dmz | i'm happy to give you a screenshot | 19:33 |
| dmz | i've been using linux since 0.5; so i am not misunderstanding what i see | 19:34 |
| iceroot | tawtaw: where should this "lowlatency" came from? | 19:34 |
| friskd | riffautae: I got the new server setup, and I have x installed as well as openbox. Now i need to choose a vnc server. My person is such that i just need to login and see what is running.

Here it looks like they recommend against tightvnc: | 19:35 |
| friskd | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC/Servers | 19:35 |
| iceroot | tawtaw: sounds like very strange gaming-server-kernels | 19:35 |
| dmz | lapion i wouldn't be asking if it wasn't happening; and i don't maximize all my windows as i have 4 monitors & each is 1920x1080 so i've got lots of realestate | 19:35 |

| iceroot | tawtaw: ask the maintainer of that ppa for the sourcecode | 19:35 |
| tawtaw | ok i will thanks iceroot | 19:35 |
| iceroot | tawtaw: also that package is "headers" and not "image" | 19:36 |
| tawtaw | iceroot: one last question, how do i find out which ppa a package came out of ? | 19:36 |
| iceroot | tawtaw: apt-cache policy packagename | 19:36 |
| dmz | hmm compiz window-placement...seems to help a little | 19:38 |
| riffautae | friskd: looks like x11vnc will do what you want | 19:39 |
| riffautae | friskd: tightvnc will require more work to make the script show firefox on the vnc display | 19:39 |

| zteam | reisio, I also tried to chroot to my old system and did perform update-grub it went smooth with no errors | 20:20 |
| reisio | r3b00tx: some other options you might want to use with dd, but that's the basic | 20:20 |
| x0r | what i can to do, to solve this problem? | 20:20 |
| r3b00tx | reisio, ye i was aware of those options. have to go with tat since i got no choice | 20:21 |
| reisio | r3b00tx: well I think have you have got choices, as I already said, but suit yourself :p | 20:21 |
| r3b00tx | reisio, hey this backing up thing is cool instead of installing bios under linux | 20:21 |
| trism | Kartagis: for the second problem, launchers just point to desktop files, so if you save the .desktop file to ~/.local/share/applications, you can edit it with a text editor and then drag and drop it back to the launcher | 20:21 |
| r3b00tx | but wot exactly is tat dd? | 20:21 |
| r3b00tx | :D | 20:21 |
| reisio | r3b00tx: it makes copies of data | 20:22 |
| r3b00tx | reisio, any backup tool like rsync | 20:22 |
| reisio | r3b00tx: what about rsync? | 20:22 |
| x0r | so, what i should to do, men) | 20:22 |
| raven | how to rescue deleted files on an encrypted ext3 volume? | 20:22 |
| zteam | reisio, I orginally tried to restore my system using a 32-bit ubuntu usb-stick, maybe that did screw something up? | 20:22 |
| trism | Kartagis: or if you install gnome-panel, you can use: gnome-desktop-item-edit ~/.local/share/applications/launcher_name.desktop; to use the old gui dialog to edit one | 20:22 |
| reisio | zteam: I don't see how | 20:22 |
| reisio | zteam: but again, if it worked in the past and it doesn't now, clearly something has changed | 20:22 |
| zteam | reisio, my system is 64-bit | 20:22 |
| reisio | zteam: yeah but dd shouldn't care about that, I don't think | 20:23 |
| zteam | yes, but I don't know | 20:23 |
| r3b00tx | reisio, got it. asked is it something like rsync. never mind. l | 20:23 |
| zteam | what | 20:23 |
| r3b00tx | reisio thanks buddy | 20:23 |
| Kartagis | trism: hmm, I don't need unity launcher editor then | 20:23 |
| reisio | raven: how'd you delete them? | 20:23 |
| Anon42 | i think i got a trojan on my pc | 20:23 |
| Anon42 | how can i get rid of it? | 20:23 |
| cheako | daemon -- udisks --inhibit-polling /dev/sr1 -- tail -f /dev/null; hal-disable-polling --device /dev/sr1; | 20:24 |
| zteam | reisio, I did cancel dd once too, but as far as I know it should just overwrite that next time it's run right? | 20:24 |

| thoeger | Hi channel, I have a sorta specialised question. I'm trying to build some software for reduction of astronomical data from a certain observatory, but the build process breaks down saying I need a certain GSL library. However, on my work desktop that runs Lucid Lynx, I have the exact same GSL-related packages installed (one less, in fact), and the same software package installs without a glitch. Has Ubuntu shipped a mod | 20:24 |
| thoeger | ified version of GSL with Oneiric? | 20:24 |
| reisio | zteam: AFAIK yes | 20:24 |
| zteam | raven: try photorec | 20:25 |
| Kartagis | trism: where do I find the .desktop file? /usr/share/applications/? | 20:25 |
| reisio | raven: so the FS is failing, you didn't actually delete them? | 20:25 |
| raven | reisio, i moved from an encrypted ext3 to an ntfs | 20:25 |

| cosming | what distro do you guys recommend for a server for django (apache and postgres)? Thanks | 20:26 |
| trism | Kartagis: yes, they are usually there | 20:26 |
| zteam | raven, Like I said try with photorec, it should be able to recover your files | 20:26 |
| zteam | raven, maybe Testdisk is able to undelete them as well | 20:27 |
| raven | zteam, from the ntfs or the ext3? | 20:27 |
| leo_ | hello i want to try a distro that works out of the box and doesnt have too much hardware requirements | 20:27 |
| reisio | leo_: what's too much | 20:27 |
| zteam | raven, photorec is able to handle both | 20:28 |
| leo_ | i only have 512mb of ram | 20:28 |
| raven | ok | 20:28 |
| leo_ | and a p4 | 20:28 |
| reisio | leo_: you might try Lubuntu | 20:28 |
| riffautae | cosming: ubuntu-server would work fine | 20:28 |
| leo_ | is it official? | 20:28 |
| reisio | leo_: yes | 20:28 |
| riffautae | leo_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems | 20:28 |
| leo_ | because i heard that unofficial varieties of distros dont work well | 20:29 |
| leo_ | since they dont pay much attention to them | 20:29 |
| reisio | leo_: there's no regulatory entity for Linux distributions | 20:29 |
| Pici | leo_: its is official as of 11.10 | 20:29 |
| reisio | Lubuntu is an official derivative of Ubuntu, according to Canonical, who runs Ubuntu | 20:29 |
| Kartagis | trism: can you give me a /me to test? | 20:29 |
| thoeger | leo_, you can always try and run it from a live medium, and see how it works for you. That's the best way to find out. | 20:29 |
| cosming | riffautae: thanks ... would debian stable be better in any way than ubuntu lts server? | 20:29 |
| === derp is now known as PatarSymonds | ||
| reisio | leo_: for the most part Ubuntu's derivative distros only differ in what desktop environment is preinstalled | 20:30 |

| reisio | leo_: can try it | 20:30 |
| WanderingEnder | cosming: That's a $car_maker vs. $car_maker debate right there. | 20:30 |
| riffautae | cosming: sorry i have no experience with debian stable, but i do run ubuntu-lts on several servers | 20:30 |
| reisio | 512MB is definitely pushing it for GNOME, though | 20:30 |
| === PatarSymonds is now known as derp | ||
| thoeger | leo_, Xubuntu isn't all that light weight anymore. | 20:30 |
| zteam | reisio, is there any way to reinstall grub? | 20:31 |
| reisio | zteam: yup | 20:31 |

| leo_ | oh really? | 20:31 |
| reisio | zteam: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 20:31 |
| leo_ | how much more does it need? | 20:31 |
| leo_ | memory? | 20:31 |
| reisio | leo_: if you got up to 1GB or 2GB you could use whatever you want really | 20:31 |
| reisio | might check http://www.crucial.com/ for a deal | 20:31 |
| * trism wonders what Kartagis is doing. | 20:31 | |

| cosming | :D | 20:31 |
| thoeger | leo_, Don't know, haven't seen any benchmarks, but it is closer to Gnome than to LXDE | 20:32 |
| leo_ | dont have money for adding memmory | 20:32 |
| === Mud is now known as Guest34566 | ||
| thoeger | As far as I am informed | 20:32 |
| leo_ | what about gnome... will it work on my cpu? | 20:32 |
| WanderingEnder | cosming: I have a little experience from about 2 years ago. I have run CentOS and Ubuntu mixed, and now just run Ubuntu. | 20:32 |
| thoeger | leo_, also, I guess you'd prefer having a distro that also leaves some memory for, you know, your productivity software :-) | 20:33 |
| Kartagis | it didn't work :S | 20:33 |
| thoeger | leo_, gnome is definitely the heavier of the three | 20:33 |
| mongy | Can someone remind me, I forgot what the package is called that does similar to what ntpasswd bootdisc does. | 20:33 |
| cosming | and witch would be more stabel: centos or ubuntu from your experience? | 20:33 |
| reisio | leo_: it'll work, personally I'd probably find it too slow | 20:34 |
| trism | Kartagis: what are you trying to do? | 20:34 |
| reisio | leo_: easy way to find out, though: install it | 20:34 |
| WanderingEnder | CentOS has a longer lag time for packages. I have done commercial web hosting, cosming, and we had issues from our clients about lacking 5.3 PHP support. | 20:34 |
| WanderingEnder | cosming: That's why we run Ubuntu now. We get features sometime this year to roll out, not whenever RHEL feels like it. | 20:34 |
| reisio | what did they need PHP 5.3 for? | 20:34 |
| Kartagis | trism: unless I start kvirc with en_US.UTF-8, I get weird stuff | 20:35 |
| WanderingEnder | Some Joomla thing, Reisio. | 20:35 |
| reisio | sounds like some unstable nonsense :p | 20:35 |
| jajajajaj | xD | 20:35 |
| reisio | you could've installed PHP 5.3 on CentOS :p | 20:35 |
| WanderingEnder | reisio: I did that once, it lacks some things like mbstring in yum. | 20:35 |
| cosming | WanderingEnder: thanks for the share | 20:35 |
| WanderingEnder | I'm sure CentOS 6 has support. | 20:35 |
| reisio | if you can't install packages that don't exist in the repos, I'm not sure you should be running a server | 20:36 |
| WanderingEnder | I look at it like this: Do I really need Red Hat Enterprise Linux, minus the 5k a month support? | 20:36 |
| reisio | also if you can't say no to clients who want frivolous unstable software | 20:36 |
| reisio | well, what you benefit from even without the paid support is all the Fedora and RHEL testing leading to more stable software | 20:37 |
| reisio | part of the point of servers being, arguably, to stay online | 20:37 |
| WanderingEnder | reisio: Their application required something, so we gave it to them. And I've never had downtime issues with Ubuntu Server. | 20:37 |
| * pnorman_desktop found out he has a defective SATA card | 20:37 | |
| trism | Kartagis: in natty, I often had to change the name of a launcher if I edited it in ~/.local/share/applications, otherwise the version in /usr/share/applications would override it (the Name= key in the .desktop file) | 20:37 |
| trism | Kartagis: I haven't used unity enough in oneiric to know if that is still an issue | 20:38 |
| reisio | WanderingEnder: how about issues | 20:38 |
| jpds | WanderingEnder: You can always get Ubuntu support: http://www.canonical.com/enterprise-services/ubuntu-advantage/server | 20:38 |
| WanderingEnder | jpds: >.> Yeah, I'm a canonical partner/reseller/whatever. Never needed it myself. :) | 20:38 |
| zteam | reisio, thanks, I'm trying Boot Repair now | 20:39 |
| Kartagis | trism: do I need to copy it to ~/.local/share/applications? | 20:39 |
| gary_inNYC | how would one mount an ipod touch in rhythmbox using an openbox session instead of gnome in ubuntu | 20:39 |
| WanderingEnder | reisio: I haven't had an issue with Ubuntu Server. I had one issue on a VPS, but that was the data center blowing up. On VM, Xen, and real boxes, no issues. | 20:39 |
| trism | Kartagis: it is usually a good idea if you are editing it, otherwise updates can wipe out your changes (after editing, drag and drop it back to the panel, or you won't get the new version) | 20:39 |
| reisio | WanderingEnder: that's impressive, how long? | 20:40 |
| Kartagis | trism: editing in /usr/share/applications/ didn't do it | 20:40 |
| Kartagis | anyway, I'm off | 20:40 |
| Kartagis | later | 20:41 |
| trism | Kartagis: good luck | 20:41 |
| WanderingEnder | Latest VMWare images are 8 months, the VPS was about 1 year, then a restart to get more RAM, then back up. Then... DC exploded, so... that was some downtime... | 20:41 |

| Phlunk3 | hi guys, the bar at the top of the screen which in 11.10 shows the file edit etc menu's for maximized items, can anyone tell me what this is officially called? I have an issue with it not displaying on one monitor after upgrading to 11.10 and need to google lol | 21:38 |
| pooky | I can't seem to get thunderbird to launch. I constantly recieve an error of failed to create drawable. | 21:38 |
| pooky | The unity panel? | 21:39 |
| Phlunk3 | at the top pooky, not the unity panel as that works fine. but I am unable for example to access the menu's in xchat or minimize etc atm as it is on my screen without the top menu lol. | 21:39 |
| guntbert | Phlunk3: that thing on the left side is called "launcher", the one on the top is still "panel" (I believe) | 21:41 |
| cyphase | if i want to change the hostname on an ubuntu machine, the only places i have to worry about is /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts, right? | 21:41 |
| cyphase | are* | 21:41 |
| Phlunk3 | thanks guntbert | 21:41 |
| AbuMaia | Discovered an interesting bug. I accidentally logged in under Ubuntu 2D, instead of 3D like I was expecting. While trying to get Unity to not ignore the Compiz settings, I was able to start Unity 3D on top of Unity 2D. This gave me two launcher bars, one on top of the other. | 21:41 |
| guntbert | !hostname | cyphase | 21:41 |
| ubottu | cyphase: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hosts to include BOTH the old and new hostname and then change /etc/hostname to the new one. WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. | 21:41 |
| guntbert | Phlunk3: you're welcome :-) | 21:41 |
| cyphase | guntbert, yea, just checking if there's anywhere else. but i guess not :). thanks | 21:42 |
| Technicus | Hello . . . I have introduced many people to Linux, and in most cases they have adopted Ubuntu. The transition is in generaly seemless, and fundamentaly astonishing as the case generaly stems from Linux breathing life into what was mistaken as a dead machine. | 21:42 |
| tomodachi | AbuMaia: sounds like a bug. If you would like to help out. You could check launchpad.net to see if there are any duplicates. If not register it as a new bug | 21:42 |
| AbuMaia | tomodachi: Will do, friend | 21:42 |
| guntbert | cyphase: no worries, I was just too lazy to properly read and sent you the factoid instead :) | 21:43 |
| hanasaki | reisio: why is that qemu last and kvm best? will qemu-kvm be the same as kvm and supported in ubuntu? | 21:43 |
| guntbert | !ot | Technicus | 21:43 |
| ubottu | Technicus: #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! | 21:43 |
| reisio | hanasaki: qemu-kvm is kvm | 21:43 |
| hanasaki | ah | 21:43 |
| reisio | hanasaki: kvm is basically qemu remade to be part of the kernel and have hardware virtualization extensions support | 21:43 |
| hanasaki | what ist he best disk format to use reisio | 21:43 |
| calamity | Alright, I'm stumped. I have windows 7 sitting in an ntfs partition, next to ubuntu, grub can see both of them, but for some reason, trying to boot to windows just drops me back to grub | 21:43 |
| Technicus | People praise what the new operating system awards them with. One of the questions I get a lot is: "Where is the undue button?" So I ask, is there a global undue button? | 21:43 |
| reisio | hanasaki: their capabilities should be about the same, only kvm will be much faster | 21:44 |
| reisio | hanasaki: I assume whatever kvm uses will be fine | 21:44 |
| reisio | hanasaki: qcow? | 21:44 |
| hanasaki | reisio: does kvm require any guest additions like vmware / vbox? | 21:44 |
| pooky | "undue" lolz | 21:44 |
| reisio | hanasaki: I don't think so, it might be a little behind vbox & vmware in that regard | 21:44 |
| Technicus | pooky: It is a question I get asked a lot. | 21:44 |
| reisio | hanasaki: but I'm sure in time it won't be | 21:45 |
| reisio | hanasaki: for a kvm GUI frontend checkout virt-manager | 21:45 |
| hanasaki | reisio: well as you say it will perform best and not need guest additions.. best of both worlds :) | 21:45 |
| pooky | I'm also running Komodo and Firefox on the same install. But I do not recieve the same "failed to create drawable" error. I heard Thunderbird was to be the default mail clinet, so I'm trying to just check it out. | 21:45 |
| pooky | Technicus: "undo" | 21:45 |
| reisio | hanasaki: well I don't think it _has_ a guest additions, so for things like automatic screen resizing, you will probably have to just do without for now | 21:46 |
| hanasaki | hmmm | 21:46 |
| reisio | hanasaki: since kvm is newer, it will take time for things like that to be made available | 21:46 |
| pooky | Technicus: "undue" would crudely mean "un owe", where as "undo" would mean "un action" | 21:47 |
| reisio | hanasaki: but since it should perform in general better than the others, I assume those features will come | 21:47 |
| hanasaki | reisio: I do like the full screen and resize | 21:47 |
| reisio | hanasaki: yes VirtualBox is handy for that, and seemless mode | 21:47 |
| Phlunk3 | okay guys sorry but I can't seem to find an answer online thus far. I have just done a fresh installation of ubuntu and have to use ubuntu 2d due to my graphics card not supporting enough resolution otherwise for both my monitors. My issue is that on my monitor with the unity panel the top menu is not displaying, can anyone point me in the right direction to get this solved? | 21:47 |
| reisio | seamless* | 21:47 |
| hanasaki | reisio: kvm is linux only.. that is one thing that will keep some vm's in the other tools | 21:47 |
| reisio | hanasaki: I would ignore vmware altogether, it only has a few things it can do that kvm and VirtualBox cannot, AIUI | 21:48 |
| reisio | hanasaki: yes, for those poor souls who can't use Linux :p | 21:48 |
| robin0800 | Phlunk3, how are you trying to make the menu appear? | 21:49 |

| smartadam12years | and patch skype for asterisk | 22:48 |
| glebihan | Nahibelg, no you have to reinstall | 22:49 |
| smartadam12years | <Malgorath> ? | 22:49 |
| smartadam12years | i can? | 22:49 |
| manhunter | hi | 22:50 |
| OttifantSir | luca: Another option might be that you have enabled too many effects. Are you using proprietary drivers or open source for your graphics card? I saw a marked improvement in speed with nVidia's drivers over the nouveau drivers. | 22:50 |
| manhunter | what's the default irc client for ubuntu ? | 22:50 |
| manhunter | MSG nickserv info | 22:51 |
| lordjj | Hello. How do I set up an Ntfs partition to Mount on startup? | 22:51 |
| Malgorath | think its pidgeon manhunter | 22:51 |
| OttifantSir | manhunter: Empathy is the default IRC client | 22:51 |
| Malgorath | lordjj, one sec i'll google that for you and point you at one of about 800 guides.. brb | 22:51 |
| DrManhattan | YOu know what, with the last nvidia drivers and video in firefox/flash, my video looked like crap too | 22:51 |
| manhunter | i mean irc client to connect irc.freenode.net | 22:51 |
| DrManhattan | across a couple of different distros on the same hardware | 22:51 |
| lordjj | heh | 22:51 |
| DrManhattan | ubuntu, fedora, opensuse, and mint | 22:52 |
| Nahibelg | glebihan: rats... thx anyway | 22:52 |
| DrManhattan | quite disappointing | 22:52 |
| Malgorath | lordjj, http://www.google.com/cse?cx=partner-pub-9300639326172081%3A5191442144&ie=UTF-8&sa=Search&q=how+to+setup+ntfs+partition+on+boot+ubuntu&hl=en#gsc.tab=0&gsc.q=how%20to%20setup%20ntfs%20partition%20on%20boot%20ubuntu&gsc.page=1 | 22:52 |
| Malgorath | take your pick | 22:53 |
| DrManhattan | when I intalled chromium flash worked MUCH better. I don't know what the deal was, or what was responsible, but that particular combination of drivers/programs/versions really was not too positive | 22:53 |
| smartadam12years | 'Hi all! I want make my own OS! Can I remove copyrights, logos symbolism of Ubuntu in .iso and rename OS? | 22:53 |
| OttifantSir | manhunter: So do I. You have to set up an IRC account in Empathy. Maybe you have to install some packages. Always switch back to Pidgin on every new release, so I don't remember. | 22:53 |
| Malgorath | smartadam12years, troll elsewhere, or learn LFS and make your own OS. | 22:54 |
| lordjj | DrManhattan that's because chromium integrats flash | 22:54 |
| Gentoo64 | Malgorath: i dont think hes trolling | 22:54 |
| Gentoo64 | think he just means a custom cd | 22:54 |
| DrManhattan | yeah well, flash video is just much better in it lordjj. They do a very good job | 22:54 |
| smartadam12years | im not trol just help me please make my own OS | 22:55 |
| smartadam12years | on base Ubuntu | 22:55 |
| Malgorath | smartadam12years, go google: linux from scratch | 22:55 |
| glebihan | smartadam12years, you already asked and have already been answered about that | 22:55 |
| Shdwdrgn | is there a flag I can set in apt so it does NOT prune older deb files unless I tell it to? I would like to share /var/cache/apt/archives across multiple servers while I'm doing a version upgrade, and don't want anything removed until all the machines are done | 22:55 |
| === BaNz is now known as Alex`aw | ||
| smartadam12years | what that? | 22:57 |
| DrManhattan | generally any time I see people say "flash just wont work in my firefox no matter what I do" I tell them to try out chromium | 22:57 |
| Trioke | smartadam12years: ... What is it you want *exactly*? | 22:57 |
| OttifantSir | Anyone have an idea why this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DellBIOS didn't work? Everything up until the start of the GRUB-choice went flawlessly, then "error, you must load kernel first, press ENTER to continue", then it returns to GRUB, no harm OR good done. | 22:57 |
| qin | !remastersys | smartadam12years | 22:57 |
| smartadam12years | not! me not sked | 22:57 |
| qin | No | 22:57 |
| smartadam12years | exactly? own OS | 22:58 |
| mal|lappy | Anyone have any ideas on this: I'm running Ubuntu 10.04LTS, and whenever I do a file transfer from any machine to my linux box, either via SCP or SFTP, sshd spins at 100% cpu, and the transfer runs at a crawl of 5mbytes/second. | 22:58 |
| Gentoo64 | smartadam12years: just use ubuntu normally | 22:58 |
| glebihan | Shdwdrgn, I may be wrong but I think that's the default behavior, nothing gets deleted until you run "apt-get clean" | 22:58 |
| bobweaver | !live-debian | smartadam12years | 22:58 |
| smartadam12years | nope | 22:58 |
| Trioke | smartadam12years: Are you asking how to create your own OS from scratch? Haha, that's *way* out of the scope of this channel, not to mention (apologies in advance) your intellect. | 22:59 |
| smartadam12years | help plz | 22:59 |
| Gentoo64 | whats the point taking out the logos, you wouldnt heve even done anything | 22:59 |
| Malgorath | smartadam12years is a troll guys, he has been anwered many times | 22:59 |
| qin | Trioke: <£ | 22:59 |
| bobweaver | lb configure .... lb build ????? smartadam12years | 22:59 |
| smartadam12years | <Trioke> u bad | 22:59 |
| ikonia | enough please. | 23:00 |
| DrManhattan | OttifantSir, hell, i'd try the wine/winflash version | 23:00 |
| Shdwdrgn | glebihan, hmm ok. From what I can see, it looks like there is only one version of each package after running a do-release-upgrade... Maybe that command is running a clean afterwards. | 23:00 |
| DrManhattan | if the dell was stock, thats how they'd want you to update the bios | 23:00 |
| smartadam12years | <Malgorath> no me not! see on IP! | 23:00 |
| DrManhattan | even with those old-as-balls dimension 2400s | 23:01 |
| Shdwdrgn | glebihan, guess I'll give it a run and see what happens | 23:01 |
| ikonia | smartadam12years: ENOUGH | 23:01 |
| curfont | so I had ubuntu on a netbook, and my wife shut it down as it was updating (probably dist upgrading). I managed to get it into console mode and force update and now the boot sequence gets stuck while loading X, but I can manually Alt-F1 and startx. manually starting gdm / whatever doesn't work. tried removing grub and gdm and reinstalling, doesn't work (Works but doesn't fix it) | 23:01 |
| glebihan | Shdwdrgn, you may be right, it's possible that it only keeps the most recent version of each package | 23:01 |
| curfont | s/grub/gnome | 23:01 |
| OttifantSir | smartadam12years: I'd suggest you step back and ask yourself: What do I want to take with me from Ubuntu, and what do I want to change? Do I want another window manager? Do I want another graphic program, etc etc. Then use remastersys or LFS (if it's possible) or Ubuntu Alternate and just use a minimal install (CLI only) for your base. | 23:01 |
| smartadam12years | what ENOUGH? | 23:01 |
| bobweaver | what is debian-live smartadam12years | 23:02 |
| ikonia | please stop discussing building your own os - it's been said, it's nothing to do with this channel | 23:02 |
| DrManhattan | curfont, oh that's easy - apt-get remove wife | 23:02 |
| curfont | DrManhattan: wish it was that easy :D | 23:02 |
| Gentoo64 | remastersys, or lfs. lol | 23:02 |
| DrManhattan | :D | 23:02 |
| DrManhattan | im j/k anyhow | 23:02 |
| mal|lappy | smartadam12years: look up UCK. Ubuntu Customization Kit | 23:02 |
| mal|lappy | it will do what you want | 23:02 |
| curfont | when installing ubuntu to eeepc, does it do any special things? | 23:02 |
| smartadam12years | debian is not ubuntu | 23:02 |
| curfont | (I selected netbook or something in the install) | 23:02 |
| OttifantSir | DrManhattan: Are you seriously telling me to run the .exe from within Wine? Or to look up a special addon to, or version of Wine for flashing BIOS? | 23:02 |
| bobweaver | lb -config --mode ubuntu | 23:02 |
| bobweaver | trool | 23:03 |
| smartadam12years | <bobweaver> | 23:03 |

| smartadam12years | old version of programms | 23:04 |
| DrManhattan | How are you going to come in here, post a link saying "this doesn't work" and not read the link | 23:04 |
| ikonia | smartadam12years: we will not support you building your own ubuntu build. stop asking | 23:04 |
| smartadam12years | <ikonia> no | 23:04 |
| smartadam12years | hepl plz | 23:04 |

| alberto | Hello everyone | 23:04 |
| OttifantSir | DrManhattan: If you're talking about the Winphlash option, I don't have that option. | 23:04 |
| DrManhattan | OttifantSir, what dell system is this? | 23:04 |
| bobweaver | ubuntu uses live debian ? | 23:04 |
| ikonia | smartadam12years: it is not the topic of this channel - please stop asking. | 23:04 |

| ikonia | smartadam12years: I won't ask again - stop asking | 23:05 |
| sociopath | can u tell me please! why i can can't hear sound from my laptop speakers ????? | 23:06 |
| smartadam12years | <ikonia> why stop? | 23:06 |
| ikonia | bobweaver: no | 23:06 |
| curfont | "GNOME display manager" is "fail" | 23:06 |
| sociopath | can u tell me please! why i can can't hear sound from my laptop speakers ????? | 23:06 |
| curfont | where are the logs for that? | 23:06 |
| Gentoo64 | curfont: nice monitor | 23:06 |
| DrManhattan | curfont, bummer! maybe just knock her around a little bit | 23:06 |
| bobweaver | ikonia, what does ubuntu use ? THEN | 23:06 |
| ikonia | smartadam12years: because this channel is not here to make you make your own ubuntu build. | 23:06 |
| bobweaver | ikonia, sorry about caps :>) | 23:06 |
| curfont | Gentoo64: It's my wife's "disney" netbook | 23:06 |
| sociopath | guys help me please | 23:06 |
| Gentoo64 | yea yea | 23:06 |
| ikonia | bobweaver: the ubuntu packages it builds, | 23:06 |
| curfont | lol | 23:06 |
| sociopath | i can't hear the sound from my laptop speakers | 23:07 |
| smartadam12years | <ikonia> i can make my own channel? | 23:07 |
| antnash | I take it you don't know, Gentoo64 | 23:07 |
| ikonia | smartadam12years: make your own channel then | 23:07 |
| Trioke | OttifantSir: A quick google showed me this, not sure how outdated/relevant it may still be: http://www.linuxscrew.com/2007/12/09/update-bios-of-dell-laptop-with-ubuntu/ | 23:07 |
| bobweaver | ikonia, what is the ubuntu package ? got a link > | 23:07 |
| bobweaver | ?* | 23:07 |
| Gentoo64 | antnash: know what? | 23:07 |
| smartadam12years | how? | 23:07 |
| soreau | ! sound | sociopath | 23:07 |
| ubottu | sociopath: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 23:07 |
| OttifantSir | Trioke: I read it earlier today, but will read it again... Thanks | 23:07 |
| ikonia | bobweaver: apologies if I'm not understaning what you're asking | 23:07 |
| Gentoo64 | antnash: no i dont know | 23:07 |
| ikonia | smartadam12years: ask in #freenode channel | 23:07 |
| luca | i HAVE A PROBLEM WITH VIDEO ON UBUNTU 11.10 i SEE THE SCREEN GREEN | 23:07 |
| soreau | smartadam12years: ASk in #freenode | 23:07 |
| antnash | damn | 23:07 |
| Gentoo64 | sorry | 23:07 |
| bobweaver | ikonia, it is cool | 23:07 |
| soreau | ! caps | luca | 23:07 |
| ubottu | luca: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. | 23:07 |
| antnash | np | 23:07 |
| smartadam12years | Why Super OS rename Ubuntu and i cant do it? | 23:08 |
| bobweaver | ikonia, I am asking if ubuntu uses debian live to make there distro | 23:08 |
| DrManhattan | OttifantSir, at the dell site theres an exe package for your bios | 23:08 |
| Trioke | ubottu: I think he has Caps lock on. | 23:08 |
| ubottu | Trioke: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 23:08 |
| luca | sorry | 23:08 |
| DrManhattan | latest bios for your system is a10 | 23:08 |
| vacho | please help, I followed this guide and installed OCI8, but it's not enabled after install..how can I reconfigure it?? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PHPOracle | 23:08 |
| soreau | smartadam12years: You can, you just can't discuss it here | 23:08 |
| Gentoo64 | smartadam12years: why do you care so much about renaming ubuntu and calling it yours | 23:08 |
| OttifantSir | Trioke: I tried that first, no luck for my system | 23:08 |
| dalton2345 | well i'm back on 11.04 | 23:08 |
| ikonia | bobweaver: it doesn't use debian live, it makes it's own distro, the packages it uses are based on the debian ones though | 23:08 |
| azert | hello there | 23:08 |
| DrManhattan | OttifantSir, what bios version are you on now? | 23:08 |
| bobweaver | !sed | smartadam12years | 23:08 |
| ubottu | smartadam12years: 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 | 23:08 |
| azert | can anyone explain what does this command ? tar -C /overlay -cvf - . | tar -C /mnt/sda1 -xf - | 23:08 |
| gluonman | In ubuntu 11.10, I installed gnome 3. A few days ago I rebooted and it automatically launched in the fallback mode. Even when I select the normal boot option, it is now consistently stuck in fallback. I don't even know what the problem is, so my googling hasn't lead me anywhere yet. How can I even begin to investigate what broke? | 23:09 |
| Trioke | OttifantSir: aww darn. I'm afraid you seem to be in an edge case scenario where most of us won't have the expertise or experience to know how to help. I personally run a dell and updated the BIOS while running Windows... If that's an option, it may be worth a shot. | 23:09 |
| bobweaver | what does the terminal have to do with sed bot >? | 23:09 |
| smartadam12years | <ubottu> whta sorry? | 23:09 |
| smartadam12years | what? | 23:09 |
| OttifantSir | DrManhattan: I have that file, and I have made a GRUB option loading an image of a (supposedly) boot disk with that file loaded. My current BIOS is A06. | 23:09 |
| DrManhattan | Trioke, they recommend on the link he posted to run the exe for bios update via WINE | 23:09 |
| glebihan | gluonman, try opening a terminal and running "gnome-shell --replace" in it to see if you get any error message that might help you identify the problem | 23:10 |
| ikonia | I would not run any bios program in wine | 23:10 |
| azert | tar -C /overlay -cvf - . | tar -C /mnt/sda1 -xf - | 23:10 |
| ikonia | that is a terrible idea | 23:10 |
| smartadam12years | I can rename Super oS and make own OS? | 23:10 |
| DrManhattan | OttifantSir, well, looks like Dell gives you an exe for updating to a10 - so I'd use wine | 23:10 |
| luca | i have a problem with videos on ubuntu 11.10 how can i do? | 23:10 |
| gluonman | glebihan, thanks | 23:10 |
| alberto | I'm having some problems with my tv card and Ubuntu 11.10 | 23:10 |
| linuxuz3r | how do i set the theme back to the default in 11.10 | 23:10 |
| ikonia | smartadam12years: stop asking - this is your final warning | 23:10 |
| bobweaver | !awk | 23:10 |
| ubottu | 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 | 23:10 |
| Trioke | DrManhattan: Actually, no. They say to use WINE to extract the archive if the BIOS came in a WinPhlash.exe format. Update itself still has to go through the GRUB method. | 23:10 |
| bobweaver | !thanks | bobweaver | 23:10 |
| ubottu | bobweaver, please see my private message | 23:10 |
| stevecam | !nounity | 23:11 |
| ubottu | 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 | 23:11 |
| smartadam12years | <ikonia> and your... | 23:11 |
| ikonia | smartadam12years: pardon ? | 23:11 |
| bobweaver | ubottu, learn sed and awk | 23:11 |
| ubottu | bobweaver: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 23:11 |
| DrManhattan | Then extract and attempt to run the updater, which will fail, but place a file named BIOS.ROM in C:\Windows\Temp\WINPHLASH\. Now download the phlash16.exe utility, which will actually perform the flash using BIOS.ROM. | 23:11 |
| ikonia | bobweaver: please stop messing with the bot | 23:11 |
| bobweaver | ikonia, :>) | 23:11 |
| OttifantSir | DrManhattan: Yeah, I knew that was an option, not a very appealing one though, as WINE is not complete, and I don't want to brick my machine with such a perfect setup and sentimental value. But, it seems that is what I have to (try to) do.... | 23:11 |
| smartadam12years | <ikonia> i know Mark :P | 23:11 |
| smartadam12years | personally | 23:12 |
| Trioke | OttifantSir: Just curious, what feature are you lacking in your current BIOS that compels you to upgrade? | 23:12 |
| soreau | smartadam12years: Please leave | 23:12 |
| glebihan | smartadam12years, we don't care | 23:12 |
| bobweaver | smartadam12years, then aask him :>) | 23:12 |
| DrManhattan | OttifantSir, well, you could always use gparted to give yourself a 10g partition, put windows on it, update your bios, then remove windows | 23:12 |
| alberto | Will you please help me out? | 23:12 |
| soreau | ikonia: n1 xD | 23:12 |
| DrManhattan | at least that method is supported and wont brick your box, although it IS a pita | 23:12 |
| Trioke | DrManhattan: Yes, easiest course of action, at this point it would seem. | 23:13 |
| ldlework | I upgrade Ubuntu after it spams me for a month. What do I have to show for it? CERTAINLY NO SHADER SUPPORT. God, why haven't I learned my lessons after the last three Ubuntu """"upgrades"""" | 23:13 |
| ldlework | for fucks sake | 23:13 |
| * ldlework fumes. | 23:13 | |
| FloodBot1 | ldlework: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 23:13 |
| OttifantSir | Trioke: Honestly, I don't remember anymore. I just want to use this machine as a testbed to see what problems I will encounter when flashing the BIOS of my HTPC. | 23:13 |
| Trioke | OttifantSir: Ah, okay. | 23:13 |
| soreau | ! language | ldlework | 23:13 |
| ubottu | ldlework: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 23:13 |
| ldlework | ! competent_os_progression | soreau | 23:13 |
| mal|lappy | Anyone have a clue why sshd on ubuntu 10.04LTS would spin at 100% during large file transfers? | 23:13 |
| ikonia | ldlework: take the hint - he's trying to help you | 23:14 |
| mal|lappy | It slows down my transfers to 5mbytes/sec | 23:14 |
| DrManhattan | Trioke, as much as it pains me to say in a linux channel of any sort, I'd probably give myself a 10g xp partition to update the bios and maybe just hide it/leave it there just in case there were some kind of firmware / bios updates I couldn't do in linux | 23:14 |
| curfont | I wonder if I can put ubuntu on the new Tegra 3 based Asus Transformer | 23:14 |
| soreau | ldlework: What gpu do you have? | 23:14 |
| DrManhattan | thats just because dell is REALLY picky about that, and they probably wont honor a warranty if you brick your box trying to update your bios in linux | 23:14 |
| OttifantSir | DrManhattan: Yeah..... Too bad though. Haven't had a single Windows program or media in my apartment for the last five years, and now I have to resign... | 23:14 |
| bobweaver | ikonia, so ubuntu uses scripts then ? to make distro ? the reason I ask is this would be a great way to backup . | 23:14 |
| linuxuz3r | how can you use gnome 2.x in 11.10? | 23:14 |
| reisio | linuxuz3r: not so much | 23:15 |
| soreau | linuxuz3r: I'm not sure you can, easily | 23:15 |
| glebihan | linuxuz3r, you can't | 23:15 |
| soreau | ! nounity | linuxuz3r | 23:15 |
| ubottu | linuxuz3r: 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 | 23:15 |
| reisio | linuxuz3r: you might try gnome-shell / gnome-tweak-tool / gnome-panel / gnome-fallback-session for starters | 23:15 |
| ikonia | bobweaver: ubuntu is a distro, the same as redhat/suse/debian/whatever, it's made of packages the same as those | 23:15 |
| curfont | Here is another problem, the wifi on the eeepc under ubuntu is extremely slow (works fine on windows) | 23:15 |
| reisio | linuxuz3r: ahem: gnome-session-fallback | 23:15 |
| curfont | I think the driver is bad | 23:15 |
| DrManhattan | OttifantSir, you can thank dell for that. it isnt like you have to keep it on there though, and its legal to install for 45 days without violating any kind of licenses | 23:15 |
| soreau | curfont: What wifi chip? | 23:15 |
| bobweaver | ikonia, I know what a distro is what I am asking is if they use scripts then they should be on launchpad which I can not find | 23:16 |
| linuxuz3r | all that trouble | 23:16 |
| bobweaver | many distros use live-debian | 23:16 |
| curfont | soreau: AR9285 | 23:16 |
| curfont | Atheros | 23:16 |
| DrManhattan | a lot of companies have win only bios updates now though | 23:16 |
| soreau | curfont: Should work fine with the ath9k driver then, I'd imagine | 23:16 |
| ikonia | bobweaver: ubuntu does not, it it's own distro | 23:16 |
| OttifantSir | DrManhattan: Trioke: Thanks for your help though. Too bad my machine is too old to have EVER been shipped with Ubuntu. Going to look for some Windows now..... | 23:16 |
| bobweaver | ikonia, do you knpow what live-debian is ? | 23:16 |
| curfont | soreau: You would think, I am using ath9k but "speeds" are very very slow | 23:16 |
| ikonia | bobweaver: yes | 23:17 |
| Trioke | DrManhattan: Yep... Although Dell did/does sell machines with *nix OS's, so you'd think they'd have BIOS for them too... | 23:17 |
| keri | hello I need some help. I have Iphone 4 iso 5.0 and have ubuntu 10.04 on computer. I need to jailbreak the phone. I need some help with this. Anyone? | 23:17 |
| curfont | soreau: I have seen similar forum posts for some Atheros models (newer ones) | 23:17 |
| DrManhattan | OttifantSir, just go download a clean win7 iso | 23:17 |
| Trioke | OttifantSir: Np, and best of luck :). | 23:17 |
| DrManhattan | you don't have to punch in a serial number or anything | 23:17 |
| curfont | No solution yet though | 23:17 |
| bobweaver | ikonia, so what does ubuntu use ? I thought that this is open source where is that code ? | 23:17 |
| ikonia | keri: can't do it on linux | 23:17 |
| DrManhattan | its legal to have as a trial for 45 or90 days or something | 23:17 |
| ikonia | bobweaver: what do you mean "what does it use" - it uses it's own packages | 23:17 |
| linuxuz3r | how do i view my mounted file systems in 11.10 | 23:18 |
| bobweaver | ikonia, you have to build spaufs | 23:18 |
| bobweaver | or how ever you spell it | 23:18 |
| ikonia | bobweaver: spaufs ? | 23:18 |
| bobweaver | ^^ | 23:18 |
| reisio | linuxuz3r: open the file manager, Nautilus | 23:18 |
| linuxuz3r | its open | 23:18 |
| reisio | linuxuz3r: should be on the left | 23:18 |
| keri | ikonia: why not? you are suppost to be able to download your music and you can use ubunut but i can't get that to work either. | 23:18 |
| linuxuz3r | but there are no mounted filesystem | 23:18 |
| reisio | linuxuz3r: maybe there are none, then | 23:18 |
| reisio | linuxuz3r: if you want more verbose output, open a terminal and run 'mount' | 23:19 |
| ikonia | keri: the applications used to jailbreak it are not designed for linux | 23:19 |
| ikonia | keri: you can use the iphone with ubuntu - you just can't use the jailbreak software | 23:19 |
| keri | crap i need it jailbreak so i can get my pic message | 23:19 |
| reisio | better to consult #iphone or ##ios | 23:19 |
| alberto | I can't make my tv card to work under Ubuntu 11.10 | 23:20 |
| grant_ | Hello im new to linux... Just installed xubuntu and it seems really nice! | 23:20 |
| javier_ | Hi! Someone has Virtualbox indicator in ubuntu 11.10? can't find it in the repository that is everywhere in google and don't know how to install it from launchpad... Thanks! | 23:20 |
| bobweaver | ikonia, this is what lubuntu uses or use too https://code.launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop/+junk/buildscript now I talk to some people and they say they use live-debian | 23:20 |
| reisio | javier_: what is it? | 23:20 |
| * bobweaver is real confused | 23:20 | |
| keri | how do i get my iphone to work on ubuntu | 23:20 |
| ikonia | bobweaver: lubuntu is not ubuntu | 23:21 |
| ikonia | !iphone | keri | 23:21 |
| ubottu | keri: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod | 23:21 |
| javier_ | is an indicator that allows you to connect you virtual machine from the indicator in the right top of your screen | 23:21 |
| javier_ | reisio: is an indicator that allows you to connect you virtual machine from the indicator in the right top of your screen | 23:21 |
| reisio | javier_: ...connect? | 23:22 |
| * bobweaver thinks that opensource means open thought that ubuntu stood by that and that they have noothing to hide | 23:22 | |
| ikonia | bobweaver: no-one is hiding anything. Stop making things up | 23:22 |
| reisio | bobweaver: ? | 23:22 |
| Pici | bobweaver: What are you trying to figure out? | 23:22 |
| glebihan | ikonia, what do you mean ? lubuntu is one of the official ubuntu versions | 23:22 |
| ikonia | glebihan: I didn't say it wasn't | 23:22 |
| javier_ | reisio: if you have virtualbox, you can use it to virtualize another SO. This indicator let's you do the same from the indicator, what is very confortable as I have used it before | 23:23 |
| bobweaver | Pici, what ubuntu uses to build distro | 23:23 |
| Pici | bobweaver: You mean spin the CD images? or what? | 23:23 |
| curfont | Is there a good media server solution that transcodes videos into smaller resolutions before streaming to devices (DLNA?) | 23:23 |
| glebihan | ikonia, ok misunderstood you then | 23:23 |
| bobweaver | Pici brb 2 sec | 23:23 |
| curfont | So I can stream a bluray to my phone for example | 23:23 |
| Somelauw | What is the window manager and desktop environment independent command that always works to change the background? | 23:24 |
| linuxuz3r | what is the difference between ppa and non ppa repository | 23:25 |
| bobweaver | Pici, ok certian distros use certian things to make live dvd like live-debian remastersys ect.. what does ubuntu use also thanks :>) | 23:25 |
| ikonia | linuxuz3r: PPA is someones personal project that's not supported by the ubuntu project | 23:25 |
| linuxuz3r | can you uninstall and purge ppa packages | 23:25 |
| ikonia | linuxuz3r: same as any other package, however installing them can often do damage due to the dependencies it brings in with it | 23:26 |
| === ejv_ is now known as ejv | ||
| linuxuz3r | oh like unresolve dependencies | 23:26 |
| ikonia | no | 23:26 |
| Pici | bobweaver: I'm confused. Do you want to know how we make our live cds, or how we build Ubuntu off of Debian or what? | 23:27 |

| bobweaver | Pici, I have to use bzr checkout <url> ? <- wrong syntax ? | 23:36 |
| DEdesigns57 | Can someone help me with a problem that I am having? | 23:36 |
| zaheen_ | What's the problem? | 23:37 |
| Pici | bobweaver: Do you have bzr installed? | 23:37 |
| bobweaver | Pici;yup | 23:37 |

| Scunizi | do we still have the nvidia bug in 11.10 that needs some special syntax on the kernel line at boot? | 23:38 |
| bobweaver | Pici, PM ? ? | 23:38 |
| Pici | bobweaver: huh? What are you trying to do with bzr? | 23:38 |
| DEdesigns57 | Well cant login in under my admin user name anymore and I tried Unity --reset in the terminal but that didnt work. So I would like to know how to reinstall Ubuntu on my current HDD without losing my current data? | 23:38 |
| Pici | bobweaver: I'd prefer to keep it in-channel. | 23:38 |
| bobweaver | Pici, cool that is why I asked | 23:38 |
| bobweaver | Pici, I am trying to get this bzr get | 23:39 |
| bobweaver | http://people.ubuntu.com/~cjwatson/bzr/cdimage/mainline' | 23:39 |
| Scunizi | DEdesigns57: if you created a separate partition for your /home (where you personal date lives) then simply reinstall and set the partitions manually.. *DON'T* tic the format box for the /home partition. Outside of that it gets more problematic. | 23:40 |
| Pici | bobweaver: this works fine for me: bzr checkout http://people.canonical.com/~cjwatson/bzr/cdimage/mainline/ cdimage | 23:41 |
| bobweaver | Pici, \o/ | 23:41 |
| datakid | hola, if I'm using smbldap-useradd and I forget to use the -a switch to make the account a samba account, how can I mod the account to be samba friendly? | 23:41 |
| DEdesigns57 | I Did not do any partition as I didnt understand it at the time I first installed Ubuntu so I found an old HDD from 2007 and installed Ubuntu on that HDD. | 23:42 |
| bobweaver | ls -al && cd /bzr/trunk | 23:42 |
| bobweaver | opps | 23:42 |
| bobweaver | Wrong window | 23:42 |
| DEdesigns57 | What would you recommend in this case, considering I am new to all this? | 23:43 |
| Deltatash | Is there anyone here who is good with "conky" i need some help with it on Ubuntu 10.4 please | 23:43 |
| Scunizi | DEdesigns57: how much data do you have? and do you have an external usb drive you can copy it too? | 23:44 |
| bobweaver | Pici, this is so so so frekin cO_ol | 23:45 |
| bobweaver | thank you so much | 23:45 |
| Deltatash | anyone here who can help with conky lol ? | 23:45 |
| DEdesigns57 | When you say data do you mean HDD space being taken up? | 23:45 |
| Scunizi | DEdesigns57: no .. you said you wanted to reinstall without loosing everything.. I assumed you ment data.. docs, spreadsheets, music etc. | 23:46 |
| Younder | THIS IS A HORROR STORY. I call it permissions gone wrong. I hated that Guest account. It allowd anyone to peek into and change my computer. I thought I had the remedy. I did find ./etc -exec chmod o-rw {} \; | 23:47 |
| Younder | I WAS WRONG everything stopped working. | 23:47 |
| dasy2k1 | hi everyone... Bit of a daft question but where do I get to the gnome system panel in Unity? Skype is running in the background but i cant seem to access it as its not on the dock launcher nor on the notification area | 23:47 |
| ZeitFight | Hello! How can I make my "apple-cmd-key" to get the same function as the "ctrl-key"? | 23:47 |
| Younder | ZeitFight, what is wrong with freeBSD? | 23:48 |
| jpmh | how do I return to Gnome? | 23:48 |
| mal|lappy | Lol | 23:49 |
| Scunizi | jpmh: gnome 2 or 3? | 23:49 |
| Younder | ZeitFight, I mean Linux on a mac is queer! | 23:49 |
| Deltatash | no one here is good at conky on ubuntu ?? xD | 23:49 |
| DEdesigns57 | yes that is what I mean. Honestry If I have to lose this data it would not be the end of the world since I have most of my things in windows, but Applications I guess applications like xchat, and my applications would have to be reinstalled huh? Or can I keep them somehow? | 23:49 |
| bobweaver | !conduct | Younder | 23:49 |
| ubottu | Younder: The Ubuntu Code of Conduct is a community etiquette document to which we ask all Ubuntu users to adhere, and can be found at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct/ | For information on how to electronically sign the CoC, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SigningCodeofConduct | 23:49 |
| Deltatash | ZeitFight mac itself is queer, linux makes it bareable atleast lol | 23:49 |
| jpmh | Scunizi: whatever I had till I :upgraded" | 23:49 |
| Deltatash | "Younder" even xD | 23:49 |
| Younder | bobweaver, It is a valid question. | 23:50 |
| Scunizi | DEdesigns57: they're easy enough to reinstall.. | 23:50 |
| === don is now known as Guest47489 | ||
| welandB | I'm trying to install a package that requires gcc (or cc or cl) and can't seem to get KPackageKit to install it. It's saying check my network connection. | 23:50 |
| Younder | s/queer/stange( | 23:50 |
| bobweaver | Younder, the word "queer" did not have to be used that is a slam on the gay community | 23:50 |
| === SJrX is now known as SJr | ||
| DEdesigns57 | true mabey a fresh boot is what I need. So then should I burn another iso image from Ubuntu.com and reinstall as If I never had Ubuntu? | 23:51 |
| Scunizi | jpmh: that would be gnome 2 most likely.. it's gone and even gnome has moved to gnome 3 which is quite different from gnome 2.. however if you want to try it you can load it up from the software center then log out.. change desktop selection and log in.. you'll be just as lost I think.. but worth comparing. | 23:51 |
| bobweaver | sed -i s/queer/stange/g' *.please :>) | 23:51 |
| dasy2k1 | bobweaver: queer == strange queer != gay | 23:51 |
| Scunizi | DEdesigns57: yep.. | 23:51 |
| ZeitFight | Deltatash: Yea maybe it is. I've had too many problems running linux on it. I have to live with it. Now is there a way to remap the cmd key to get the same function as the control key? | 23:52 |
| Scunizi | DEdesigns57: make a separate /home partition this time.. it will also hold your config files for the programs you install. | 23:52 |
| Younder | bobweaver, ok, wrong word sorry.. I was just perplexed that he would install ubuntu on on a machine that already has a form of Unix that the unity interface tries (wrongly in my mind) to emulate | 23:52 |
| Deltatash | ZeitFight, im not sure ive not ever needed or tried to remap keys :s | 23:53 |
| DEdesigns57 | I never done that before, is it hard>? | 23:53 |
| === M4rc3l is now known as zz_M4rc3l | ||
| === bryan is now known as Guest89711 | ||
| dasy2k1 | ZeitFight: I knew how to do it on the old ubuntu with the old interface where it diddnt used to hide the settings from you, on the new version .... no Idea | 23:54 |
| welandB | Does anyone know why my attempt to install gcc from KPackageKit would give me an error saying to check my network connection? | 23:54 |
| reisio | welandB: possibly because your network connection is unstable | 23:55 |
| ZeitFight | dasy2k1: Alright I guess I have to keep on looking then. Thanks for the answer | 23:55 |
| welandB | reisio: I've installed other packages tonight. I don't think it's unstable. | 23:55 |
| === Guest89711 is now known as SonneKonig | ||
| Scunizi | DEdesigns57: is what hard? Installing? no.. burning an iso.. no not with the right program..ubuntu.com has suggestions for that. | 23:56 |
| Nfisher | Hi all! | 23:56 |
| Nfisher | what does the "&" at the end of a command do? | 23:57 |
| Nfisher | for example: when i enter "ushare -x &" | 23:57 |
| dasy2k1 | ZeitFight: it used to be in the keyboard settings under System --> Administration slightly deeper under keyboard map (with options like using right alt as compose etc) but the new keyboard manager in settings dosent have any of those options | 23:57 |
| SonneKonig | ok, I have a weird issue here.... | 23:57 |
| iceroot | Nfisher: put it in the background | 23:57 |
| dasy2k1 | Nfisher: runs the command in the background | 23:57 |
| bobweaver | Nfisher, `it makes it so things can still run | 23:57 |
| iceroot | Nfisher: to pull it back in the foreground type "fg" | 23:57 |
| SonneKonig | everytime i log into my laptop with 11.10 it says you are now disconnected form the network ont he bottom of the screen | 23:57 |
| SonneKonig | even now... and i am obviously online lol | 23:58 |
| welandB | Nfisher Runs in the background. It shows you the process ID immediately after you hit enter. | 23:58 |
| DEdesigns57 | Okay one last thing, I know that Ubuntu is no longer a simple OS to run on older machines. As mention before the only old thing about my machine would be my HDD that Ubuntu will be store on. I have noticed ubuntu running slower than windows. I know my other specs are fine but can HDD be the cause of such an issue in general? | 23:58 |
| s0nee | SonneKonig: it auto reconnects | 23:58 |
| dasy2k1 | Nfisher: and to make it so it keeps running even if you close the terminal window you need to type disown | 23:58 |
| Nfisher | oh i see.. so when i close the terminal it still runs? | 23:58 |
| s0nee | SonneKonig: but the msg doesnt auto disappears. thats why | 23:58 |
| iceroot | DEdesigns57: have a look at lubuntu | 23:58 |
| Scunizi | DEdesigns57: that happened to me when my drive started to fail.. | 23:58 |
| dasy2k1 | Nfisher: only if you disown it | 23:58 |
| Nfisher | dasy2k1, iceroot bobweaver iceroot Thanks!!! | 23:59 |
| SonneKonig | thanks | 23:59 |
| SonneKonig | they should fix that lol | 23:59 |
| Nfisher | dasy2k1, how do i disown it? | 23:59 |
| iceroot | DEdesigns57: to see if the hdd is the bottleneck, use top and see the "%wa" value, which means "waiting for io" | 23:59 |
| dasy2k1 | Nfisher: otherwise you just get back to the command prompt which is usefull if you are wanting to do somthing else and cant be bothered to open a new terminal or use somthing like screen | 23:59 |
| Scunizi | iceroot: that's a good tip.. thanks. | 23:59 |
