[00:00] <dasy2k1> any unity experts out there know where i can find the gnome system tray ?
[00:00] <iceroot> Nfisher: if you close the terminal, the program will not run anymore, even with &
[00:01] <dasy2k1> iceroot:  but if you follow the command with the disown command it will
[00:01] <iceroot> dasy2k1: yes
[00:01] <magn3ts> how the hell do i get shotwell to not open when I plug my phone in. most infuriating "feature" I've ever seen
[00:01] <iceroot> dasy2k1: Nfisher or using "screen"
[00:01] <Nfisher> iceroot, uhm.. it does Oo.. i issued "ushare -x &" and closed the gnome-terminal i issued it in.. and still runs..
[00:01] <iceroot> Nfisher: because "ushare" is handling that
[00:02] <Nfisher> iceroot, k..
[00:02] <dasy2k1> magn3ts: try settings then removable media and turn open shotwell off
[00:02] <iceroot> Nfisher: but normal apps will close
[00:02] <ZeitFight> dasy2k1: I think I found something in the Mac-keyboard-layout. Thanks! :)
[00:02] <Nfisher> iceroot, i see..
[00:03] <magn3ts> dasy2k1, "Photos: Do Nothing"
[00:03] <magn3ts> dasy2k1, :/
[00:03]  * dasy2k1 shrugs
[00:03] <Nfisher> iceroot, how do i run commands to not close after closing gnome-terminal-window then?
[00:03] <magn3ts> dasy2k1, haha, thanks anyway
[00:04] <dasy2k1> Nfisher:  run the command with an & then type disown
[00:04] <dasy2k1> or just hit alt+f2 and run it from there
[00:04] <Nfisher> dasy2k1, k, thx!!
[00:04] <Nfisher> thx all!
[00:05] <iceroot> i prefer screen instead of & and disown
[00:05] <dasy2k1> I take it you detach your screen iceroot
[00:06] <cyphase> anyone else noticed that in the software center, the history has an entry for october 12th that looks like every default package being installed?
[00:06] <logicallkill> or use the nohup command
[00:06] <dasy2k1> i suppose thats better for simpler apps that cant seem to survive on their own , like xeyes
[00:06] <iceroot> dasy2k1: no, just using screen then starting foobar and "ctrl + a + c"
[00:07] <dasy2k1> cyphase:  let me guess... you installed or upgraded to 10.10 on october 12th?
[00:07] <iceroot> dasy2k1: but thats because normally i am running everything in screen, to often i forgot screen and closing the terminal was not a good idea :)
[00:07] <cyphase> dasy2k1, 11.10*. no, just today
[00:09] <cyphase> dasy2k1, 11.10 was released october 13th
[00:10] <dasy2k1> that would probbably explain it, on the system that the official iso was built from everything probbably was installed on oct 12th
[00:10] <logicallkill> i have a browsing problem, obviously i can connect via wireless or i wouldnt be here, and any program i run that uses an internet connection will run fine, except for firefox of course. i get the standard "cant connect" error.
[00:11] <Younder> And a bautius release it was. Least probems yet.. Cudos to the boys who made the upgrade to gnome 3 so painless.. I KNOW that was difficult..
[00:11] <quidnunc> Is there a way to see what files are being accessed in realtime?
[00:12] <reisio> quidnunc: lsof
[00:13] <qcode> You can buy apps for Ubuntu 11.10 now, cool.
[00:13] <reisio> yes isn't it cool
[00:13] <reisio> I can't wait until it costs $150
[00:14] <qcode> Developers deserve it
[00:14] <qcode> I like $1 apps
[00:14] <reisio> which app?
[00:14] <iceroot> quidnunc: iotop
[00:14] <quidnunc> reisio: Do you have the flags that would perform realtime file I/O monitoring?
[00:14] <qcode> just saying
[00:14] <reisio> heh
[00:14] <iceroot> quidnunc: or maybe "inotify"
[00:14] <Younder> I thhink is cool that you can.
[00:14] <bobweaver> qcode,  I agree
[00:15] <qcode> I paid apps for Android phone, why not on Ubuntu.
[00:15] <Younder> before a flamewar starts. let's stop. There are people here with legitimate problems
[00:16] <reisio> qcode: because they're all free already?
[00:16] <bobweaver> qcode,  not all of us have money :>)
[00:16] <iceroot> quidnunc: if it is still free software (as in free speech) there is no problem for paying money for software
[00:16] <quidnunc> iceroot: Sorry?
[00:16] <reisio> iceroot: y'know, except that you could get it for free...
[00:17] <Scunizi> logicallkill: does chrome connect?
[00:17] <iceroot> !free
[00:17] <iceroot> that is what "free" means
[00:18] <Guest7688> How do I mount an SD card?
[00:18] <reisio> Guest7688: insert it
[00:18] <iceroot> Guest7688: sudo mount /dev/sdX1 /where/to/mount
[00:18] <Scunizi> Guest7688: it typically auto mounts.. if not in a terminal you could try sudo mount -a
[00:18] <iceroot> Guest7688: and if using a gui on the system that step is done automaticly
[00:18] <Guest7688> It does not auto mount. Otherwise I would not be asking.
[00:18] <ruser> i've got an old laptop runnig 9.10 is there an wasy way upgrading to latest version?
[00:19] <iceroot> !eol
[00:19] <iceroot> ruser: last link
[00:19] <CyborgSmurf> I need help with the dash... Please!!!
[00:19] <iceroot> ruser: but you have to go 9.10 - 10.04 - 10.10 - 11.04 - 11.10
[00:19] <iceroot> CyborgSmurf: what exactly?
[00:19] <ruser> iceroot: thanks,  will do.  i guess lots of packaged to DL :)
[00:19] <logicallkill> anytime i open firefox it gives me the server cannot be found page. its not a connection problem...
[00:20] <iceroot> ruser: and making a backup first is always a good idea
[00:20] <Younder> ruser, well given enough download speed the easiest way is to upgrade and then upgrade again. not missing any bug updates
[00:20] <CyborgSmurf> iceroot: the buttons after Ive pressed the dash, you know the small buttons above, they just arent there
[00:20] <ruser> iceroot: looks like only up to 9.10 is outline in last link
[00:20] <Scunizi> Ok.. just reinstalled again.. on initial reboot screen is stuck at "Checking Battery state..." - this is a desktop.. any hints tips direction to go?
[00:21] <iceroot> CyborgSmurf: ah ok, something in unity is called dash, is though you mean the login shell
[00:21] <D_Russ> is anyone having issues today with firefox?
[00:21] <iceroot> !anyone | D_Russ
[00:21] <logicallkill> D_russ: yeah, i am.
[00:21] <shafiq_> Can someone please tell me how to prevent Ubuntu-Restricted-Extras from installing its version of Flash?  (I already have a version installed that I want to maintain).  Thank you.
[00:22] <D_Russ> logicalkill: whats your issue?
[00:22] <CyborgSmurf> iceroot: everyone seems to have them except me
[00:22] <iceroot> CyborgSmurf: sorry cant help you i am not using unity and dont know what dash is
[00:22] <logicallkill> D_russ: anytime i try to visit a page it gives me the server not found page. its not a connection issue...
[00:22] <CyborgSmurf> iceroot: thanks anyway
[00:23] <CyborgSmurf> anyone else having the same problem with the dash or know the solution for it???
[00:23] <D_Russ> logicalkill: mine is different, when i open FF it does not show on my unity taskbar.
[00:23] <spartan7> Hey guys I have ubuntu installed on a server with raid  5 I want to clone it on to a usb drive and restore it to 1 WD VR. Issue Im having is the raid 5 is firmware raid from the motherboard. Any tools I can use to clone the drive?
[00:24] <Scunizi> spartan7: dd will do it for sure.. but I don't know the command
[00:24] <D_Russ> i just said eff it and switched to chrome
[00:24] <iceroot> Scunizi: sudo dd if=/dev/sdX of=/path/for/the/image
[00:24] <iceroot> spartan7: see above
[00:24] <ruser> hrm when i'm doing dist-upgrade it claims some packets can not be authenticated
[00:25] <logicallkill> D_russ: odd... im not sure. saorry.
[00:25] <magn3ts> Does anyone elses EOG refuse to open?
[00:25] <ruser> nvm, figured it out
[00:25] <D_Russ> i just wish i could get chrome to automatically open xchat when i click on an irc link. Does anyone know how to do that.
[00:25] <magn3ts> I just get more and more impressed every day. strace has it stopping in the middle of a futex.
[00:25] <D_Russ> logicalkill: have you checked to see if your proxy settings may have been enabled
[00:26] <iceroot> spartan7: also clonezilla can handle it if you are not familiar with dd
[00:26] <logicallkill> D_Russ: yeah, i disabled all proxies.
[00:26] <shafiq_> Can someone please tell me how to prevent Ubuntu-Restricted-Extras from installing its version of Flash?  (I already have a version installed that I want to maintain).  Thank you.
[00:26] <spartan7> I tried clonzilla and it sees it as 4 seperate drives RAID5
[00:27] <Scunizi> I've eliminated "quiet splash" from the kernel line on boot to see what's happening.. no indication why the system won't boot.. gets to "Running /scripts/init-bottom ... done" and sits there stupid.. How do I fix this?
[00:27] <D_Russ> logicalkill: have you tried to uninstall or see if there is an update for it maybe?
[00:27] <emmanuel_> ayudaaaaaaaaaa
[00:27] <spartan7> iceroot: the problem with clonzilla is that it doesn not support fakeraid
[00:27] <nene> preciso de ajuda
[00:27] <iceroot> spartan7: fakeraid is ALWAYS bad
[00:27] <spartan7> thats why Im here
[00:27] <ruser> iceroot: how so?
[00:27] <emmanuel_> alquien me puede ayuda
[00:28] <meyreuth> hi
[00:28] <iceroot> ruser: there is nothing a software-raid cant do better
[00:28] <sandr8> what do i need to apt-get install for isolinux?
[00:28] <nene> instalei o ubuntu 11.10  e agora não funciona o leitor de cd
[00:28] <iceroot> ruser: and fakeraid is just a software-raid, no better performance, only working with your board/controller
[00:28] <logicallkill> D_Russ: yeah i just updated too. ill just use chrome/opera.
[00:28] <gluonman> I'm trying to install the latest nvidia driver for my card, but it fails because an nvidia module is in use by the kernel even after stopping X. If I do sudo apt-get purge nvidia-*, it wants to remove ubuntu-desktop.  If I do this, reinstall ubuntu-desktop and install the nvidia driver before restarting, will that cause problems?
[00:28] <iceroot> spartan7: but clonezilla should see /dev/mapper/foobar which should be your raid-array
[00:29] <rodhash> Hello guys, is there any way to change the wallpaper for the login screen??
[00:29] <iceroot> ruser: real software-raid should always be the better idea instead of fakeraid
[00:29] <kilopopo> hi
[00:29] <kilopopo> is there a way to resize the launcher
[00:29] <ruser> iceroot: cool, thanks
[00:30] <spartan7> iceroot: is that under advanced settings? I dont know the command to check for a raid array. I ran clonzilla never saw it as a raid array.
[00:30] <Younder> Is there a easy way to restore permissions  to of all  files in a  directory tree to that they used to be. say using the dpkm system
[00:30] <Younder> ?
[00:30] <reisio> Younder: using the Ubuntu installer
[00:30] <spartan7> iceroot: I thought fakeraid was software raid?
[00:31] <spartan7> iceroot: so fakeraid and firmware raid are not one and the same?
[00:31] <iceroot> spartan7: it is but forced with your controller
[00:31] <iceroot> spartan7: firmware-raid is not an official name
[00:31] <Scunizi> Younder: if you know what the permissions were.. then sudo chown -R <permissions> .. would do it..
[00:31] <Younder> reisio, if it had been that easy
[00:32] <spartan7> iceroot: I know but it should be. What would be the command for clonzilla to recognize the raid array?
[00:32] <mosno> spartan7, see md for Linux software RAID
[00:32] <mosno> spartan7, works rather well for me so far
[00:32] <iceroot> spartan7: fakeraid (cheap onboard-raid-controller on desktop-pc) is using software-raid but the raid is only workiing with your specific hardware, its using the cpu like software-raid
[00:32] <reisio> Scunizi: heh
[00:32] <whatsaHacker> is there a way to reset the user/pass on a fresh install?
[00:32] <iceroot> spartan7: there is "hardware-raid", "software-raid" and "fakeraid"
[00:33] <Scunizi> Younder: sorry.. not chown but chmod
[00:33] <spartan7> mosno: I did. I know intel matrix supports it on kernal 2.6.26 right? can you clone from something like clonezilla?
[00:33] <Scunizi> reisio: you made me re-read my post.. oops.
[00:33] <iceroot> spartan7: never used clonezilla, sorry
[00:33] <mosno> spartan7, i have cloned an nForce RAID1 fakeraid with Clonezilla, IIRC -- not that i tested the restore
[00:34] <iceroot> spartan7: but i dont think, cloning the raid-array from fakeraid will work on later systems
[00:34] <spartan7> iceroot: your right from what I read online.
[00:34] <shawn186> why is ubunto so different from 10.10?
[00:34] <Scunizi> Nice to know when the gui fails the cmd line still works.
[00:34] <iceroot> shawn186: its not
[00:34] <shawn186> theres no menus
[00:34] <spartan7> iceroot: so you would recommend either hardware raid or md?
[00:35] <shawn186> only wahts open
[00:35] <shawn186> status bar
[00:35] <iceroot> spartan7: yes
[00:35] <iceroot> spartan7: hardware-raid is the best (but costs the most)
[00:35] <Scunizi> what's the command to restart the gui.. sudo service (not gdm anymore I think).. or is it sudo /etc/init.d/<something here>
[00:36] <iceroot> spartan7: on hw-raid your system only see you raid-array, on sw-raid and fakeraid you system see the raid-array and also each drive, on hw-raid there is only one drive (which is the raid-array)
[00:36] <spartan7> iceroot, mosno: thanks guys. before I go. Does Haveing a raid provide performance boost?
[00:36] <gluonman> In ubuntu 11.10, I'm trying to reinstall my nvidia graphics card driver.  I hit Ctrl+Alt+F1, log in, do sudo service lightdm stop to kill X, and then sudo sh *.run.  It complains that an nvidia module is still in use by the kernel.  Can I do sudo apt-get purge nvidia-*, even though it removes ubuntu-desktop, to solve this problem?
[00:36] <iceroot> spartan7: but a hw-raid-controller is starting at 150€
[00:36] <iceroot> spartan7: depending which raid you are using, yes
[00:36] <shawn186> where can I get nvidia video drivers for ubuntu?
[00:36] <shawn186> 7600GS
[00:36] <spartan7> iceroot: gonna see if there is an afflrdable HW raid card.
[00:36] <reisio> shawn186: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[00:36] <ruser> hrm.  the documantioatn links to page that does not exist https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades/Karmic
[00:36] <shawn186> ah ty
[00:36] <iceroot> spartan7: but remeber, raid is NOT a backup-replacement
[00:37] <spartan7> iceroot: thats expensive. gonna try md
[00:37] <robin0800> Scunizi, sudo service lightdm stop/start
[00:37] <iceroot> spartan7: most people thing raid has something to do with a backup which is not true
[00:37] <Scunizi> shawn186: hit the "windows" button and in the search box type hardware.. what shows should be something like hardware drivers.. click and wait for a selection.
[00:37] <spartan7> iceroot: yea gonna use rsync to another location for backup
[00:37] <iceroot> spartan7: the nes for 150€ are cheap with not so mayn features, the good ones starting at 300€
[00:37] <Scunizi> robin0800: thanks.. I was beginning to think nobody was around :)
[00:37] <iceroot> spartan7: s/nes/ones
[00:37] <Scott0> hello i have a 9.10 installation i need to dist-upgrade whats the safest way?
[00:38] <Scott0> never done an upgrade this far back
[00:38] <iceroot> !eol | Scott0
[00:38] <iceroot> Scott0: last link
[00:38] <Scott0> so im screwed as far as that goes
[00:38] <iceroot> Scott0: also having a backup is a good idea
[00:38] <luist> hey guys… is there any other way to get the IP that TOR gave me other than using CURL like this:? http://pastie.org/2801986
[00:38] <spartan7> iceroot: thanks for the info.
[00:38] <Scott0> its not important so im not worried
[00:38] <iceroot> Scott0: ok, then just follow that link
[00:38] <shawn186> ooh, will after updates finish
[00:39] <Scunizi> robin0800: I'm beginning to think that my pc has a polterguist.. fresh install and gui won't start. live cd works fine. nvidia card installed on mthr board. etc..
[00:40] <reisio> luist: tnx.nl/ip
[00:40] <nixnine> hey guys, I want to dual boot two linux OS.  I have one installed now.  I understand that I can partion the HD during installation of second os.  I'm just wondering if I will have any grub problems.  Any suggestions/comments?
[00:40] <reisio> nixnine: if you do they will be easily fixed
[00:41] <reisio> nixnine: from either OS
[00:41] <Scunizi> nixnine: second install will take over grub or install what it uses.. might try virtual box as an alternative.. run both at the same time :)
[00:41] <ruser> Scott0: i'm doing the same thing here.
[00:41] <ubuntu> sup all
[00:41] <digitaldrowning> sup all
[00:41] <Scott0> nice
[00:41] <Scott0> ruser: good luck
[00:41] <Scott0> ruser: wanna race?
[00:41] <Scott0> :P
[00:42] <ruser> Scott0: lol, internet is slow
[00:42] <ruser> Scott0: so, nah :)
[00:42] <robin0800> Scunizi, tried nomodeset at the grub start up
[00:42] <Scott0> its ok, im on a 600Mhz 256 RAM
[00:42] <nixnine> Not too keen on using VM.  So if i set up for dual boot, there might be a prob using the initial system?
[00:43] <digitaldrowning> i luv vm i am running ubuntu in windows 7 right now
[00:43] <digitaldrowning> actually on oracle virtualbox
[00:43] <reisio> nixnine: no, there's a chance you might have to run an extra step merely to boot the initial system
[00:43] <digitaldrowning> and i only have 1 gb ram
[00:44] <Scunizi> robin0800: I asked about that command earlier with no respone.. I couldn't remember it.. I did try pci=nomsi which has worked for the last several years on this motherboard.. I'll give it a go and see.
[00:44] <reisio> nixnine: if you have any problems just boot into whichever OS you can and come back here, we'll sort it all out
[00:44] <akSeya> hi folks.. after upgrade to 11.10 i got this errors when I try to install any package http://pastebin.com/VBSXC0qf ... I assume it's a problem with python2.7 is that correct? how can I fix it?
[00:44] <shawn186> 11.10 is weird
[00:44] <shawn186> its all bulging
[00:44] <nixnine> Cool.  But is there a chance that I might lose everything/anything in the initial OS?
[00:45] <digitaldrowning> nixnine u trying to dual boot windows and ubuntu?
[00:45] <Scott0> shawn186: bulging?
[00:45] <nixnine> no.  mint and ubuntu, mint the primary OS
[00:45] <dr_willis> when in doubt... backup
[00:45] <digitaldrowning> hmm never heard of mint
[00:46] <nixnine> ?????
[00:46] <Scunizi> robin0800: lightdm fails on start with that too.. I also eliminated quiet splash to see what was happening..
[00:46] <nixnine> No?
[00:46] <ruser> nixnine: it's nice to have a backup to be safe. but i don't think so, maybe the grub config or w/e bootloader you are going to use
[00:46] <dr_willis> i dont really see the point in dualbootint mint and ubuntu ;-)
[00:47] <ruser> nixnine: i'm not familiar with mint, just heard of it
[00:47] <shawn186> yea, icons are ovesized
[00:47] <ruser> dr_willis: people have their reasons
[00:47] <nixnine> I want to install ubuntu 11.10 with gnome shell
[00:47] <skr1ll3x> hey! :D
[00:47] <Scunizi> robin0800: is the pae kernel for those with more than 3 gigs of ram? and would that possibly be part of the problem?
[00:47] <dr_willis> people often do silly things
[00:47] <Scott0> why is it telling me to install the update manager?
[00:47] <skr1ll3x> nixnine you pretty wouln't have any problems with the grub
[00:47] <Scott0> im on a cli version of ubuntu
[00:47] <skr1ll3x> Mint is actually based on Ubuntu :P
[00:47] <nixnine> yes
[00:48] <ruser> Scott0: pae leads to occasinal problems
[00:48] <Scott0> pae?
[00:48] <nixnine> I just love that gnome shell
[00:48] <ruser> Scunizi: pae leads to occasinal problems
[00:48] <ruser> Scott0:  wrong person, sorry
[00:48] <Scott0> the version im updating is pae
[00:48] <nixnine> been running from live usb and i really like it
[00:48] <calamity> Okay. I'm stuck. Gnome is refusing to boot into windows 7 even though it can CLEARLY see it there. I've tried reinstalling grub, but it doesn't even look like boot repair did anything.
[00:48] <Scunizi> ruser: thanks.. I might need to burn a 64 bit live cd and try again.. :(
[00:49] <robin0800> Scunizi, don't know
[00:49] <badbandit> hello, I am using 11.11 and dual monitor with nvidia graphics card... when I open a movie using movie player, suddenly I am confined to just one monitor (the laptop screen in this case), I can still see the other monitor however I cannot move the mouse there and the only way to resolve it is to disable the 2nd screen in nvidia-settings and renable
[00:49] <ruser> Scunizi: what is the problem are you having?
[00:49] <Scunizi> robin0800: ok.. thanks.
[00:49] <Scunizi> ruser: lightdm fails on boot
[00:49] <badbandit> any suggestions?
[00:49] <Scunizi> ruser: after a fresh install on a desktop
[00:49] <ruser> Scunizi: what's in the log?
[00:49] <Scunizi> ruser: in /var/log? which file?
[00:50] <templet> is there a command i can run from terminal to check filesystem integrity on a backup drive upon next reboot ?
[00:50] <ruser> Scunizi: the X11 log should contain EE error lines that can point you in right direction
[00:51] <ruser> Scunizi: or Xfree, w/e server you are using
[00:51] <iceroot> what is responsible that ~/Desktop is called ~/Arbeitsfläche and ~/public is ~/Öffentlich on my system? cant find anything in /etc/skel/ (using lubuntu 11.10)
[00:51] <iceroot> even on bash
[00:51] <ruser> Scunizi:  sorry,  i meanat Xorg :)
[00:52] <wad> I need to make some slides for a presentation. What's a good linux app for such things?
[00:52] <dr_willis> iceroot:  i recall some startup tool that changes names based on locale
[00:52] <ruser> Scunizi: there is also gdm log in there
[00:52] <iceroot> dr_willis: for me this is the biggest bug ever....
[00:52] <ruser> Scunizi: you can also try running gdm start  and see what comes up
[00:52] <Scunizi> ruser: looks like in the lightdm directory there's two files.. lightdm.log which points to x-0.log.. I'll look there.  there's no X11 log.. brb.. looking
[00:52] <shawn186> i put my cursor in the upper left corner of the screen, theres no menus D:
[00:52] <iceroot> dr_willis: making scripting very hard
[00:53] <shawn186> where did it go
[00:53] <shawn186> or they
[00:53] <ruser> Scunizi: check xorg log
[00:53] <Dark_Apostrophe> Hello, how do I see which video driver Xorg is using? I have a laptop with Nvidia Optimus; I have both an Intel and an nVidia graphics card. I want to be able to select which to use.
[00:53] <dr_willis> iceroot:  i always yse english. so never notice. i do recall disableing the startup item in the past
[00:54] <ruser> Scunizi: also you can try running startx and see what comes up :)
[00:54] <iceroot> dr_willis: you know something like a wrapper for scripting instead of chaning the locale-settings in a script?
[00:54] <shawn186> i click on this ubuntu symbol, and there are 2 inch big icons
[00:54] <shawn186> bigger than my finger
[00:54] <D_Russ> Is there a better music player than banshee? it locks up on me sometimes, and my PC is not slouch on power and resources
[00:54] <ruser> shawn186: why dont' you configure how it looks like
[00:54] <shawn186> is their a way to change it:?
[00:54] <shawn186> i'm still a noob
[00:54] <Dark_Apostrophe> D_Russ: Songbird, but I think they dropped Linux support :/
[00:54] <iceroot> dr_willis: using a different language is good for finding translation-bugs and missing translations :)
[00:54] <shawn186> stuck on windows
[00:55] <dr_willis> !media
[00:55] <ruser> shawn186: i'm pretty sure there is, i havne't used X  in a while mostly hang around console, but there is appearance and theme configuration
[00:55] <iceroot> dr_willis: but thanks for the hint, i will have a look
[00:55] <shawn186> x?
[00:55] <D_Russ> thanks Dark_apostrophe
[00:55] <Scunizi> ruser: check this out.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/726865/
[00:55] <Dark_Apostrophe> D_Russ: If you find an up to date Linux version (community maintained, for example), tell me, ok?
[00:56] <D_Russ> ok
[00:56] <shawn186> i can't even find terminal in the new interface
[00:56] <Scunizi> ruser: here's the xorg log.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/726866/
[00:56] <ruser> Scunizi: yeah, issues with your nvidia driver,  personally i haven't touched X server in a while.  try switching for a generic video driver, to get basic X going.  maybe  also try (nvidia) instead of nv
[00:57] <ruser> Scunizi: aha, looks like some nvidia options are enabled that the current driver isn't supporting.
[00:57] <Scunizi> ruser: could it be because I have 2 monitors plugged in.. ?? if I eliminate one maybe it will start.. As I remember that has been an issue since 6.06.. errg.. memory failing me.
[00:57] <r_1za> I Russia user,I love Linux,Linux forever
[00:57] <ruser> Scunizi: try disabling glx
[00:57] <luist> reisio: problem is: im getting curl: (52) Empty reply from server   as response sometimes when i access these IP sites with curl.. dont know why
[00:58] <Scunizi> ruser: in /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
[00:58] <johnkn63> Does anyone know the Debian Import Freeze date for Pangolin?
[00:58] <ruser> Scunizi: yeah.  aslo read up on nvidia and x. As i said i havne't used setup with X11 in a while.  sorry i'm super rusty :)
[00:58] <Scott0> can i make upgrade skip a package?
[00:59] <ruser> Scott0: probably with pinning but i wouldn't recommend it
[00:59] <Scott0> its zoneminder
[00:59] <Scott0> i dont need to deal with that atm
[00:59] <ruser> Scott0: no idea what is zoneminder
[01:00] <Scott0> security camera server
[01:00] <ruser> Scott0: you can disable install of suggested packages
[01:00] <Scott0> how?
[01:00] <Scott0> hey rchavik
[01:00] <Dark_Apostrophe> Hello, how do I see which video driver Xorg is using? I have a laptop with Nvidia Optimus; I have both an Intel and an nVidia graphics card. I want to be able to select which to use.
[01:00] <ruser> Scott0: apt-get --no-install-recommends
[01:01] <ruser> Scott0: if you want to make this permanent, set APT::Install-Recommends "false"; in /etc/apt/apt.conf. Be aware that this may result in missing features in some programs.
[01:01] <templet> is anyone aware of any networking speed tweaks that can be applied to 11.04 ?
[01:01] <ruser> Dark_Apostrophe: try seeing which lkms are loaded and are in use?
[01:01] <ActionParsnip> Dark_Apostrophe: sudo lshw -C display    look at driver=
[01:02] <dr_willis> optimus support is still a work in progress. :-(
[01:02] <Dark_Apostrophe> ruser: Care to remind me how to check which modules are loaded? I've just gone back to using Linux after 3 years alternating between OS X and Win7, am a bit rusty :P
[01:02] <Dark_Apostrophe> ActionParsnip: ok
[01:02] <ActionParsnip> templet: how much RAM do you have?
[01:02] <templet> ActionParsnip, 8GB
[01:02] <ActionParsnip> templet: yikes, ok we can make your network a lot faster
[01:02] <ruser> Dark_Apostrophe: sudo lsmod
[01:03] <templet> ActionParsnip, is that a joke ?  i'm simply aware that there were such speed tweaks to earlier versions of ubuntu
[01:03] <Dark_Apostrophe> ActionParsnip: It shows both nVidia and Intel
[01:03] <Scott0> ruser: apparently thats not an option in apt
[01:03] <ActionParsnip> templet: no you can male the OS use RAM to make the LAN faster
[01:03] <Dark_Apostrophe> ruser: nvidia              11713772  0
[01:03] <ActionParsnip> templet: run:  gksudo gedit /etc/sysctl.conf   and add thses lines: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/sysctl
[01:03] <templet> ActionParsnip, i've never heard of that.  would love to know about it
[01:03] <ruser> templet: i don't believe, there were some mtu tweaks for windows but i'm not aware of that in ubuntu, but default it
[01:04] <ruser> templet: i don't believe, there were some mtu tweaks for windows but i'm not aware of that in ubuntu, but default it's already "tweaked"
[01:04] <Dark_Apostrophe> Not sure what the Intel module is called
[01:04] <templet> ActionParsnip, thank you so much
[01:04] <ActionParsnip> templet: save the new file and close gedit, then run:  sudo sysctl -p
[01:04] <ruser> Dark_Apostrophe: that means probably that your intel card is used :)
[01:04] <ActionParsnip> templet: I have 2Gb here and use the same
[01:04] <ruser> Dark_Apostrophe:  try glxinfo as well.  maybe will tell you the driver
[01:05] <ruser> Scott0: which ubuntu version again?
[01:05] <ruser> Scott0: that options hsould be there since 8.x
[01:05] <ActionParsnip> templet: using dnsmasq as a local dns cache on your system can also make internet faster as you are not querying the internet for every resolution if the service has already learned the IP
[01:05] <Scott0> nm i had to give it another command
[01:05] <shawn186> unity looks like its for tablets
[01:05] <Scott0> :P
[01:05] <ruser> Scott0: 8.10 rather
[01:05] <Scott0> shawn186: i h8 unity
[01:05] <Scott0> ruser: its 9.10
[01:05] <ActionParsnip> shawn186: can use it on either really
[01:05] <Dark_Apostrophe> ruser: Hmm...Ok. See, my real problem is that the fan is constantly running and spewing out heat without any real CPU usage being shown in the system monitor. My theory was that the Nvidia card was being used for no good reason, and that it was the reason for the fan and heat... seems like that isn't the case.
[01:05] <Scott0> ruser: when installing the headers, its tryign to upgrade zoneminder
[01:06] <ruser> ActionParsnip: let's not forget squid :) or any other caching proxy :)
[01:06] <Scott0> even with that flag set
[01:06] <Dark_Apostrophe> What might be, though? I have Windows on a separate partition, and the fan is nowhere near as active on it
[01:06] <ActionParsnip> ruser: same deal, makes name resolution take 0ms rather than 30ms
[01:06] <shawn186> how do I close unity, and have the original and sweet desktop?
[01:06] <ActionParsnip> ruser: I've noticed speed increases by moving the browser cache to tempfs too
[01:06] <Dark_Apostrophe> ruser: Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0".  Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig
[01:06] <ruser> Dark_Apostrophe: see what your temperature sensors are showing.
[01:07] <ActionParsnip> !notunity | shawn186
[01:07] <ruser> Dark_Apostrophe: are you in X?
[01:07] <Dark_Apostrophe> Yes
[01:07] <ActionParsnip> !away > dtigue_away
[01:07] <ruser> Dark_Apostrophe: oh wait, i didn't read the message.
[01:07] <shawn186> ..how do i even access terminal?
[01:08] <Scott0> shawn186: on the logon csreen you can select ubuntu classic
[01:08] <ruser> Dark_Apostrophe: and it proably would be called intel_agp or something like that.  but to be honest, not sure.  i have archaic laptop :)
[01:08] <shawn186> huh
[01:08] <shawn186> i am at the main screen
[01:08] <Scott0> shawn186: google it, you arent the first to dislike unity for the desktop
[01:08] <Dark_Apostrophe> ruser: AGP? :O
[01:09] <ruser> Dark_Apostrophe: but we know it's using intel because nvidial module had 0 users,  did you try the lshw method?
[01:09] <Scott0> shawn186: before logging in
[01:09] <shawn186> yes
[01:09] <shawn186> main=logon part
[01:09] <Scott0> on the bar there are some options
[01:09] <ruser> Dark_Apostrophe: agp = accelerated graphics port
[01:09] <shawn186> logged in=desktop
[01:09] <Scott0> shawn186: did you make those up?
[01:09] <Dark_Apostrophe> ruser: Hold on, I'll upload it and lsmod to a pastebin
[01:09] <shawn186> no
[01:09] <Scott0> :P
[01:09] <shawn186> its truth
[01:10] <shawn186> oh they call it ubuntu 2d
[01:10] <shawn186> stilll ugly
[01:10] <Scott0> shawn186: eh? its Ubuntu classic on mine
[01:10] <shawn186> i see no difference in 2d
[01:10] <Scott0> shawn186: i think you are loading unity in 2d
[01:10] <shawn186> exactly the same o.o
[01:10] <Scott0> this is why i said classic
[01:10] <Scott0> google it
[01:10] <shawn186> ok
[01:10] <ruser> shawn186: Scott0  i'd probably agree that the 3d acceleration is turned off
[01:11] <templet> ActionParsnip, thank you again
[01:11] <ActionParsnip> shawn186: could install xfce4 and use xfce session :)
[01:11] <shawn186> you can switch between accounts while logged in?
[01:11] <itaylor57> Scott0, clasic is available only in 10,94
[01:11] <ActionParsnip> templet: np man, seems weird but it can help
[01:11] <ruser> ActionParsnip: lol
[01:11] <shawn186> what is xfce?
[01:11] <Scott0> itaylor57: really?
[01:11] <ActionParsnip> !info xfce
[01:11] <reisio> shawn186: it's like a lighter version of GNOME (2)
[01:11] <ActionParsnip> !info xfce4
[01:11] <Scott0> itaylor57: so no option other than unity for the new one?
[01:11] <bsmith093> im trying to burn a disc and does windws still have a 64 char file name limit
[01:11] <ActionParsnip> shawn186: its an alternate desktop
[01:11] <shawn186> oh
[01:11] <reisio> Scott0: there's gnome-shell, gnome-panel, gnome-session-fallback
[01:12] <ruser> shawn186: it's a little difficult to learn
[01:12] <itaylor57> Scott0, !nounity
[01:12] <Scott0> if thats the case i will be finding a new distro soon
[01:12] <ruser> !nounity
[01:12] <Dark_Apostrophe> ruser: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/A2TCLlCzDoUhHPvLY7Ml/
[01:12] <Scott0> so they renamed classic to something else?
[01:12] <ruser> Dark_Apostrophe: what's your non-nvidia card again?
[01:12] <Scott0> epic mistake moving away from gnome
[01:13] <ruser> Dark_Apostrophe: intel 915?
[01:13] <Scott0> seems like trying to lure apple users with unity
[01:13] <Scott0> its silly
[01:13] <Dark_Apostrophe> ruser: I'm not sure which model, exactly - hold on, I'll google for the laptop model
[01:13] <ruser> Scott0: which verison comes with unity? i'll know to avoid :)
[01:13] <Scott0> ruser: ?
[01:13] <ruser> Dark_Apostrophe: you can also lspci -V
[01:13] <urlin2u> Scott0, you get the golden star for being the millionth person to say that. :D
[01:13] <ImDoT> hey guys. little prob: I have two xservers running on on the same machine(due to a optimus setup) but for an unknown reason I can only type into the main one, how would I switch to the other one ?
[01:13] <ActionParsnip> Scott0: unity runs on gnome
[01:14] <Scott0> well the interace is fail
[01:14] <Scott0> i guess i want metacity?
[01:14] <ActionParsnip> Scott0: then use a different DE, or install the fallback
[01:14] <ruser> Scott0: i'm upgrading my laptop from 9.10 to latest. in steps ofcourse.  so i just need to know how to avoid unity and in which ubuntu verison it comes
[01:14] <Scott0> which one is the Ubuntu classic equivalent?
[01:14] <urlin2u> ruser, starts in natty, but you have the classic gnome there.
[01:14] <urlin2u> as well
[01:14] <Dark_Apostrophe> ruser: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/p8XTDiuzEoFh5AZ7aXaq/
[01:14] <ruser> urlin2u: thanks
[01:15] <Scott0> ActionParsnip: how am i going to suffer by using fallback?
[01:15] <Scott0> any caveats?
[01:15] <whatsaHacker> Who knows alot about wireless laptop usage...specifically the 4315 chipset...there are so many 3 and 4 year old how to's that I'm not sure what applies to me now lol :|
[01:15] <ruser> Dark_Apostrophe: looks like some sort of asus card
[01:15] <ruser> whatsaHacker: just ask your question
[01:15] <ActionParsnip> Scott0: not really, you can manually a startup item to run compiz --replace     just untick the unity plugin
[01:16] <urlin2u> Scott0, ruser unity cab ve tweaked though with compiz and other tools it is not bad imo, but some have a problem adapting.
[01:16] <whatsaHacker> ruser: It doesn't work. How do I? :)
[01:16] <Scott0> urlin2u: if im the millionth, then why do they persist with pushing unity on people?
[01:16] <urlin2u> s/can be*
[01:16] <Scott0> i dont want to use compiz, its a complete waste of resources
[01:16] <Dark_Apostrophe> ruser: Hmm... Whenever I search for specifications, it's listed as "Intel HD Graphics", not the specific model number :/
[01:17] <ActionParsnip> Scott0: then use the fallback and you'll use metacity
[01:17] <Scott0> ActionParsnip: thats equivalent to classic?
[01:17] <urlin2u> Scott0, sorry I left out the sarcasm clause, as to the validity of that claim, kinda silly don't you think, all OS's resemble each other in some way.
[01:17] <ruser> whatsaHacker: no idea, don't use that chipset,   try using network manager
[01:17] <Scott0> urlin2u: in some way? you mean that we use them?
[01:17] <Scott0> lol
[01:17] <Scott0> urlin2u: it was silly to default to the most resource intensive overly simplistic DE
[01:18] <ruser> urlin2u: hwo do i avoid unity all together in process of upgrading from 9.10 to latest?
[01:18] <szal> ruser: by using either one of Kubuntu, Xubuntu or Lubuntu
[01:18] <urlin2u> Scott0, unity os part of making ubuntu.com or canonical able to provide for more platforms.
[01:18] <urlin2u> is*
[01:18] <Dark_Apostrophe> ruser: Found it, Intel GMA 4500MHD
[01:19] <ImDoT> urlin2: you might also want to to look at the mint project, incredibly ubuntu but offer a few alternativeslinux mint
[01:19] <ruser> szal: that's not really the answer.  i already have kde and gnome on the same machine.  i'm upgrading the current distro,  what you are telling me  i need to reinstall with w/e latest netinstall
[01:20] <ruser> szal: what's Xubuntu and Lubuntu?
[01:20] <urlin2u> ruser, unity does not appear till natty, and you have a classic desktop available in natty, a classic that is a little different maverick is the last gnome 2 really.
[01:20] <KM0201> ruser: distros designed for hardware that maybe a little older/slower... than what the standard Ubuntu distro is capable of supporting
[01:20] <szal> ruser: Xubuntu -> XFCE4, Lubuntu -> LXDE
[01:20] <PCPDCG> if you just upgrade(not reinstall) you will still have gnome
[01:21] <ruser> szal: oh, never heard of lxde.  What package list does it have?
[01:21] <ImDoT> anyone know how to handle several xservers on one machine ?
[01:21] <ruser> szal: nvm i'll figure it out.
[01:21] <reisio> ImDoT: for what purpose
[01:21] <lord_enzo> hi, I have a little problem installing ubuntu, who I have to ask?
[01:21] <ruser> KM0201:  you know the real difference is the default "suggusted" package lists.  for people who don't want to pick packages manually
[01:22] <szal> correct me if I'm wrong, but afaik Lubuntu is officially supported now (from Oneiric on)
[01:22] <reisio> it is
[01:22] <ImDoT> a multiple screen screen setup running on a sandy bridge laptop. I can start  the nvidia server but not type in it
[01:22] <ruser> szal: still, though,  which version is natty?  10.x?  still not clear on how to avoid  unity when upgrading.
[01:22] <KM0201> ruser: well, there's also GUI differences.. but... yes, of course there's suggested package differences also.
[01:22] <szal> !natty | ruser
[01:22] <shawn186> oh thanks
[01:22] <ruser> KM0201:  GUI difference comes via different packages
[01:23] <ruser> szal: thnx
[01:23] <KM0201> ruser: if you know so much, why did you ask what Xubuntu and Lubuntu are?
[01:23] <urlin2u> lord_enzo, whats the problem?
[01:23] <urlin2u> 's*
[01:23] <lord_enzo> hi urlin2u!
[01:23] <ruser> KM0201: because it's the same concept as Kubuntu and ubuntu with gnome
[01:23] <KM0201> ruser: i gave you a basic rundown of what they were designed for, i didn't intend to go nto great detail about them.
[01:23] <KM0201> ruser: no its not.
[01:23] <ruser> KM0201:  okay, than i stand corrected.  how are htey not?
[01:24] <urlin2u> lord_enzo, hello, give us a little info on your problem.
[01:24] <DrManhattan> well, the lamp server setup was very, very easy
[01:24] <DrManhattan> gotta give props for that
[01:24] <KM0201> ruser: i'm not gonna bother carrying this conversation on w/ you further, cuz i can tell its pointless.. i'd just suggest you do some googling
[01:24] <DrManhattan> I wonder why rhel/scientific doesn't have that option
[01:24] <shawn186> classic restored
[01:24] <ruser> KM0201: ok, i'm going to say you are wrong, i'm not going to explain why, i will suggest some googling, thanks for nothing :)
[01:24] <Dark_Apostrophe> ruser: So, do you have any suggestions for what I can do? This fan noise is getting annoying... just installed lm-sensors, it only shows a single sensor (at 87*C)
[01:24] <KM0201> ruser: you're welcome
[01:25] <lord_enzo> well, I'm a newbie with linux, it's the first time I'm installing it anywhere, so I'm pretty confused… I installed a copy of 11.10 64 bits in a computer I have laying around. When I connect the Live USB or the CD it all starts Ok, it ask me what I want to do, either install, try, etc…
[01:25] <ruser> Dark_Apostrophe: check your proc filesystem  for other sesors data
[01:25] <Scott0> shawn186: that easy?
[01:25] <lord_enzo> If I choose straight away to try, or install, the system just freezes after the ubuntu logo, either on black or in a purple background
[01:25] <lord_enzo> but, if in the menu that is asking me what I want to do I press f6 and check ACPI=OFF
[01:25] <urlin2u> !nomodeset | lord_enzo
[01:26] <Dark_Apostrophe> ruser: Not sure which of the "files" might contain sensor readouts
[01:26] <lord_enzo> the live cd starts ok, but after the installation, none
[01:26] <urlin2u> lord_enzo, take a look at getting nomodeset in the start to boot in low graphics.
[01:26] <shawn186> besides the administration menu..
[01:27] <lord_enzo> I'll try that right now, thanks
[01:27] <ruser> Dark_Apostrophe: /proc/acpi/ check in tehre problbly in thermal zone
[01:28] <urlin2u> lord_enzo, y9ou can put nomodeset in the kernel at the grub menu, to get the grub menu if your not seeing it tap the shift key I believe at powering on hit e the intsert nomodeset at the splash notation in the kernel, use the arrow keys to navigate there.
[01:28] <ruser> KM0201: i'm looking at wiki page for Lubuntu i'm not seeing any difference between  Kubuntu and Gubuntu if you will.
[01:28] <Ferris_Bueller> !list
[01:28] <Dark_Apostrophe> ruser: nothing there containing temperature info
[01:28] <lord_enzo> thanks
[01:28] <Dark_Apostrophe> ac_adapter, battery, button, etc. only
[01:29] <lord_enzo> i'm trying right now...
[01:29] <urlin2u> lord_enzo, sorry for this misspelling ask any questions if needed. :D
[01:29] <ruser> Dark_Apostrophe: is there fan folder?  man i'm sorry super rusty here.  but you should be able to control the fan. is it always running and is hot, or just always on and isn't hot
[01:29] <KM0201> ruser: ok... like i said, i'm not gonna spend my day discussing this with you, when you already know everything.... but your google-foo obviously sucks
[01:30] <ActionParsnip> Scott0: pretty much, yeah
[01:30] <lord_enzo> well… I'm editing the booting options (with the E in the GRUB menu… ) where do I have to put the nomodeset?
[01:30] <ruser> KM0201: please correct me, where i'm wrong, by all means. or atleast link me
[01:32] <ruser> KM0201: are packages built with different options in them?  and thus
[01:32] <ruser> KM0201: are packages built with different options in them?  and thus "optimized"?
[01:32] <lord_enzo> I found it!
[01:33] <Scott0> ruser: couldnt get past the whole zonemdiner thing during the headers  install, so i just started a regular upgrade
[01:33] <zmiq> hi. trying ubuntu on a new macboook air; when booting from usb, I get "boot error" message. Any hints?
[01:33] <reisio> zmiq: how'd you image to USB?
[01:33] <urlin2u> lord_enzo, you will see no splash or ro splash in that area, it will get you in with low graphics hopefully then when in run the update manager then check additional drivers for any graphics drivers.
[01:33] <Scott0> zmiq: did you get the mac version of ubuntu?
[01:33] <zmiq> used the setup_mac_usb_boot.sh script
[01:34] <ruser> zmiq: iirc, you need to make sure the usb driver is in the kernel.  i might be way off
[01:34] <shawn186> whats the name of the 10.10 shell?
[01:34] <Dark_Apostrophe_> ruser: Aaand the craptop just completely shut down. Maybe overheat or something. It's happened before, but in Win7... :/
[01:34] <lord_enzo> now it has started, but my screen says that the signal is out of range!
[01:34] <urlin2u> lord_enzo, I believe it is crtl-x to boot from there it should be indicated on the screen at some point
[01:34] <Scott0> booting from usb because of the external drive?
[01:34] <ruser> Dark_Apostrophe_: how how is does the box feel?
[01:34] <bsmith093> will a zip extract fail on a long filename in xp
[01:35] <urlin2u> lord_enzo, did you crtl-x?
[01:35] <lord_enzo> yes, I did that already, I'm also following the link you sent me :-D
[01:35] <ruser> Dark_Apostrophe_: s/how how/how hot/
[01:35] <Dark_Apostrophe_> ruser: It's warm
[01:35] <bsmith093> becasue im buring a zip for a non techie from ubuntu to winxp
[01:35] <zmiq> ruser: I used ubuntu-11.10-desktop-amd64+mac.iso
[01:36] <reisio> zmiq: some stuff here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/How%20to%20install%20Ubuntu%20on%20MacBook%20using%20USB%20Stick
[01:36] <shawn186> ?\
[01:36] <ruser> Dark_Apostrophe: is there fan folder?  man i'm sorry super rusty here.  but you should be able to control the fan. is it always running and is hot, or just always on and isn't hot
[01:37] <zmiq> reisio: I'm using instructions located at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookAir4-2
[01:37] <quixotedon> hi all, how can i mount my hard disk drive (partitioned using windows) automatically on start up?
[01:38] <ruser> quixotedon: add an entry to fstab
[01:38] <zmiq> reisio: my link seems more up-to-date, form macbbok 4.2
[01:38] <reisio> it does indeed
[01:38] <lord_enzo> urlin2u, it is "working" now… If i connect the vga cable to my usual screen (the one that doesn't belong to the computer with ubuntu but my usual one) it works with a very sloppy graphics… You know what can I do to make the graphic card work? The system didn't recognize any special driver for the card
[01:38] <quixotedon> ruser: where to find the fstab?
[01:38] <shawn186> anyone know?
[01:38] <zmiq> quixotedon: /etc/fstab
[01:38] <ruser> !fstab | quixotedon
[01:38] <quixotedon> ruser: i'm a newbie on command line things.. :)
[01:39] <urlin2u> lord_enzo, have you run the update manger to get the update and upgrades?
[01:39] <ruser> quixotedon: there is an example in the first link, on hor to mount ntfs
[01:39] <ruser> s/hor/how
[01:39] <reisio> shawn186: GNOME 2 AFAIK
[01:39] <shawn186> it actually had the system tab
[01:39] <zmiq> ruser: can the problem be I'm using a 2GB usb stick? is it too big?
[01:39] <shawn186> is their a way to get that in 11.10?
[01:39] <shawn186> \
[01:40] <urlin2u> quixotedon, sudo gedit/etc/fstab
[01:40] <reisio> shawn186: the system tab?
[01:40] <shawn186> yes
[01:40] <shawn186> the bar in 11.4 is still big
[01:40] <shawn186> i like the classic from 10.10
[01:41] <lord_enzo> urlin2u, yes, now it has detected NVIDIA based card… Thank you very much for the help, I've been wandering for hours around this, because I knew it was from the graphic card, but I thought that ACPI was involved, without your help I would neve have found the info about nomodeset!
[01:41] <reisio> shawn186: if you install gnome-shell or gnome-panel and log out, hit the cog next to your name to change, log back in, maybe
[01:42] <urlin2u> lord_enzo, no problem hopefully thats it, enjoy.
[01:42] <lord_enzo> thank you very much again… Have a good night/day depending where you are!
[01:43] <urlin2u> lord_enzo, you to. :D
[01:43] <ruser> !classic | shawn186
[01:43] <shawn186> reisio i did
[01:43] <ruser> shawn186: i guess you want no unity
[01:43] <shawn186> yea, I have gnome classic
[01:43] <ruser> ah, sorry i'm too late, someone is already helping @ shawn186
[01:43] <reisio> shawn186: how about gnome-session-fallback
[01:44] <shawn186> comeagain?
[01:45] <Banch> How do I do shell accounts for irssi for couple of my mates in kubuntu. cant find where to add how much storage they got
[01:45] <ActionParsnip> Banch: so you want to enforce disk quotas
[01:45] <ruser> Banch: do they have accounts on the box already?  if not you need to add new users to the system and if you want to limit their usage look into quota
[01:46] <ruser> !quota | Banch
[01:46] <ruser> bah, unkonnw factoid :)
[01:46] <Banch> _:)
[01:46] <Banch> damn and my mate says he cant even connect ( even thou he's irssin thru my box lol
[01:46] <ActionParsnip> Banch: is that what you want?
[01:47] <Banch> I want to add users with 250mb disk quotas
[01:47] <Banch> or maybe 1 gig
[01:47] <ruser> Banch: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-setup-disk-quotas-in-ubuntu.html
[01:47] <shawn186> whats session fallback?
[01:47] <Banch> Thank you ruser
[01:47] <reisio> shawn186: gnome-session-fallback
[01:47] <shawn186> what is that...
[01:47] <reisio> it's a package
[01:48] <ruser> Banch: that article is pretty old, id' check for something newer
[01:48] <shawn186> do I sudo apt-get install?
[01:48] <reisio> shawn186: yup
[01:48] <shawn186> ok
[01:49] <shawn186> gnome session fallback is already the newwest version
[01:50] <shawn186> *newest
[01:51] <Banch> Maybe I just let them rally my all 40gb of HDD to their porn
[01:51] <robin0800> shawn186, try gnome-panel
[01:52] <r4> is there any guide on how to use synchronous with hints when sending notifications via notify-send?
[01:52] <shawn186> that is installed too
[01:52] <reisio> shawn186: try Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
[01:52] <shawn186> ?
[01:52] <shawn186> 10.10 had the good interface
[01:52] <reisio> so did 10.04, but it's supported longer
[01:52] <shawn186> i just want that same style
[01:53] <reisio> yes we know
[01:53] <robin0800> shawn186, well you can log into gnome classic or gnome classic fallback
[01:54] <shawn186> i don't see gnome fallback
[01:54] <parabyte> hiya
[01:54] <shawn186> i am only in gnome classic with effects
[01:54] <parabyte> is make defconfig the command i want when building a new kernel to just have modules my system uses?
[01:54] <parabyte> i cant remember
[01:54] <cyphase> is there any way to get back the same gnome as is available in 11.04? gnome-session-fallback is not that
[01:55] <robin0800> shawn186, gnome classic no effects
[01:55] <ActionParsnip> !notunity
[01:55] <ActionParsnip> robin0800: or install xfce4 and use xfce
[01:55] <shawn186> i like effects though
[01:55] <kadal> test
[01:55] <Scott0> oh so i can try gnome 3? is this the first time gnome 3 is being used in ubuntu?
[01:56] <cyphase> JapaniansUnited
[01:56] <robin0800> shawn186, gnome classic needs a hack to run compiz
[01:56] <DeviceZer0> does 11.10 have the old gnome?
[01:56] <DeviceZer0> or only unity?
[01:56] <Scott0> japanians?
[01:56] <d3n1z> balke
[01:56] <d3n1z> blake
[01:56] <cyphase> lol, stupid friend
[01:56] <Scott0> DeviceZer0: apparently you can get any of the 3
[01:57] <shawn186> robin0800 the gnome classic package looks nothing like 10l10
[01:57] <shawn186> *10.10
[01:57] <DeviceZer0> !classic
[01:57] <Scott0> ruser: omg it worked!
[01:57] <urlin2u> shawn186, it's not exactly gnome 2
[01:57] <DeviceZer0> !gnome
[01:57] <ruser> Scott0: what did?
[01:57] <shawn186> bull
[01:58] <Scott0> just apt-get upgrade with the old release sources
[01:58] <CrazyT> I.m running gnome classic with compiz just installed cairo-dock and it created a session the added gnome -panel to it
[01:58] <Scott0> im gonna then try to dist upgrade to the next LTS
[01:58] <robin0800> shawn186, you can configure it though use alt click
[01:58] <ruser> Scott0: that's what i'm doing right now
[01:58] <Scott0> should i include non LTS releases in my upgrades or just skip over them?
[01:58] <urlin2u> Scott0, are you on 9.10?
[01:59] <Scott0> yes
[01:59] <urlin2u> the next lts is 10.04 and the one after is 5 1/2 months from release 12.04
[02:00] <ruser> Scott0: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LucidUpgrades
[02:00] <Scott0> wow gnome 3 even looks like mac
[02:00] <shawn186> the date wasn't in the center of the task bar in 10.10
[02:00] <shawn186> there wasn't a chat balloon by the user's name
[02:00] <shawn186> the bar is still a size bigger
[02:01] <Scott0> ruser: i love that these all assume theres a DE
[02:01] <urlin2u> Scott0, if you want to upgrade at all from 9.10 you need to see this link it has the instructions. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades
[02:02] <shawn186> there was an elegant gear taking the space of both the name and balloon
[02:02] <ruser> Scott0: lol, use the  "server" setup
[02:02] <j72x> even this is still usable
[02:02] <j72x> it runs linux
[02:03] <j72x>  but not ubuntu
[02:03] <Scott0> are the lucid sources still active?
[02:04] <Scott0> ruser: and servers still assume theres a DE, im using cli only server
[02:04] <ruser> Scott0: no
[02:05] <ruser> Scott0: i am running a few dedicated boxes without DE and used the core package to update
[02:05] <Scott0> installing update-manager-core on a cli server?
[02:05] <Scott0> weird
[02:05] <Malgorath> Can someone help me out with this problem.  My network seems to have like a 15 second delay on anything it does. this computer dual boots win7 and has no issues in win7. I just did a ping -c 1 www.google.ca and was giving a 18.7ms response but it required 20 seconds to complete
[02:05] <Scott0> ive only ever done apt-get
[02:05] <urlin2u> Scott0, lucid is a lts
[02:05] <Scott0> why wont apt-get dist-upgrade after changing the soruces to lucid work?
[02:06] <ruser> urlin2u: how bad if i didn't change my update mnanger settings to lts and left it at normal and now peforming a release upgrade?
[02:06] <fiddle> I want to optimize some logging that is done in an application. The app consists of many CGI scripts which run under Tomcat. Is it a good idea to use some MessageQueue and everytime I want to LOG something I put it in the MessageQueue and then some daemon takes care of writing the MessageQueue to the disk ?
[02:06] <Scott0> ruser: your doing what i just mentioned already?
[02:06] <Scott0> lol
[02:06] <urlin2u> ruser, what is the OS right now what release?
[02:06] <Scott0> lemme know how that works out :P
[02:06] <ruser> urlin2u:  9.10 :(
[02:06] <ruser> Scott0: yes
[02:07] <urlin2u> ruser, not good you have to follow a end of life process follow this link as I have told Scott0 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades
[02:07] <Scott0> why?
[02:08] <Scott0> why do you have to follow and end of life process instead of upgrading like i normally would?
[02:08] <urlin2u> ruser, really I would just back up the stuff needed like media etc and just fresh install, the upgrades can take a while.
[02:08] <ruser> urlin2u: yeah i'm going udpate to the closest LTS and actually i jsut read the comments in the file it's only  changes the prompt option.  so not an issue
[02:08] <urlin2u> Scott0, because the repos are closed on end of life OS
[02:08] <Scott0> which repos?
[02:08] <Scott0> 9.10 or 10.10?
[02:08] <pnorman_desktop> I'm copying stuff off of an external HD formatted as ext4. Is there a way to mount it so I can copy stuff off, ignoring permissions? I'd rather not have to sudo cp then change permissions. (mounting as ro)
[02:09] <urlin2u> Scott0, 9.10 is end of life read the link please.
[02:09] <Scott0> urlin2u: i switched to the old release repos and upgraded
[02:09] <ruser> urlin2u: the page that documetnation links to is broken :)
[02:09] <sianhulo> fellows, I need your help, I'm trying boot using an iso from grub2(because i cannot boot from usb)but I cannot, I've tried with some entries but when I try to boot i alwasy get 3 errors, " the disk cannot get C/H/S values","such disk doesn't exist" and "the kernel have to be loaded first"(or something like that). the only way i can boot with an iso iss by unetbootin(putting the iso on the hard dive) but that way I'm unable to install
[02:09] <Scott0> urlin2u: now im going to take my upgraded 9.10 and dist-upgrade to lucid
[02:09] <Scott0> im guessing you dint know i did the old-release thing from the EOL page
[02:09] <hope> personally crossed over from the dark side since hardy herron, but still really just a user.  now looking for help w/ multiple displays in ubuntu studio 11.10 install
[02:10] <lord_enzo> Hi, let's see who can help me
[02:10] <sianhulo> these are my entries http://pastebin.com/L8SGh08u
[02:10] <lord_enzo> I installed a 11.10 today, and I have problems with my graphics (or at least I think is that)
[02:11] <sianhulo> (btw, the iso es on my pendrive, sdb1)
[02:11] <lord_enzo> I started the live CD by selection NOACPI option, and after the installation was done, urlin2u showed me the way to boot the system with the nomodeset option, which worked and I could start the system. Then, an update prompt told me to upgrade mi Nvidia derived graphics drivers, and I did so
[02:12] <urlin2u> ruser, read carefully that link I don't just espouse this to please my self it is basically what has to be done for a stable upgrade, besides going to grub 2. Look for this line in the link for what I'm saying as proof to reading the link correctly and understanding it. We will do the following upgrades, 8.10 to 9.04 to 9.10 to 10.04 LTS.
[02:12] <Scott0> this is why i stopped using ubuntu for servers 2 years ago...
[02:12] <Scott0> never had to deal with update-manager stuff in cli
[02:12] <lord_enzo> right now I'm where I begin: I cannot launch the system, because I get a black screen (and the monitor just go to sleep) even if I choose nomodeset option at the grub
[02:12] <reisio> and yet here you are
[02:12] <ruser> urlin2u: that's whati'm doing right now.    9.10 to 10.04  that is
[02:13] <Scott0> reisio: pulled a computer out of my closet
[02:13] <ruser> reisio: he just came in to ask :)
[02:13] <urlin2u> Scott0, you let yourself get caught here by not staying updated it is your fdault, and you are not following a standard process.
[02:13] <reisio> Scott0: sure sure :p
[02:13] <Scott0> lol right
[02:13] <Scott0> i use plain debian for my servers
[02:13] <Scott0> ubuntu only for desktop
[02:13] <reisio> I use striped debian
[02:13] <Scott0> striped?
[02:13] <Scott0> ....
[02:13] <reisio> no those are dots
[02:14] <reisio> stripes are more like | || | || |
[02:14] <Scott0> reisio: are you trolling me?
[02:14] <ruser> lol, i was about to say that
[02:14] <shawn186> theres not even a lot of the apps I was using in 10.10 in 11.04
[02:14] <reisio> ruser: too slow :p
[02:14] <shawn186> like the palmos thing
[02:14] <randomseed> agemoi100
[02:14] <lord_enzo> hello! can somebody help me please?
[02:14] <ruser> shawn186: i'm sure yoiu can install them using the package manager
[02:15] <reisio> Scott0: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMEe7JqBgvg
[02:15] <reisio> lord_enzo: with?
[02:15] <sianhulo> someone who know about gub2?
[02:15] <shawn186> i liked the natural way of installing a proportion
[02:15] <whatsaHacker> How do I force close Muon?
[02:15] <reisio> sianhulo: what about it
[02:16] <sianhulo> "fellows, I need your help, I'm trying boot using an iso from grub2(because i cannot boot from usb)but I cannot, I've tried with some entries but when I try to boot i alwasy get 3 errors, " the disk cannot get C/H/S values","such disk doesn't exist" and "the kernel have to be loaded first"(or something like that). the only way i can boot with an iso iss by unetbootin(putting the iso on the hard dive) but that way I'm unable to install. these are my entrie
[02:16] <sianhulo> s http://pastebin.com/L8SGh08u"
[02:16] <Scott0> reisio: LOL
[02:16] <whatsaHacker> Anobody? Force closing Muon?
[02:16] <shawn186> it seems ubuntu is getting worse like windows
[02:16] <whatsaHacker> ^
[02:16] <ruser> whatsaHacker: find the corresponding process and kill it?
[02:16] <lord_enzo> I explained it before! well, i have been having problems with the installation of ubuntu and my graphics, I got the black screen. urlin2u told me to do the nomodeset option from the grub. After doing that, the system started OK, but when doing the upgrades for the nvidia drivers, at restarting it won't go again, not even with nomodeset
[02:16] <ruser> whatsaHacker:  no idiea what is muon
[02:17] <whatsaHacker> package manager
[02:17] <celltech> Must completly remove libreoffice. However. Libreoffice does not show up in software center. How must remove?
[02:17] <parabyte> anyone know what the command is to build a new kernel and detect running modules and place that in .config
[02:17] <parabyte> make something
[02:17] <parabyte> to detect the running modules
[02:17] <parabyte> the command was introduced with kernel 2.6
[02:18] <parabyte> any help be apreciated
[02:18] <ruser> parabyte: sudo lsmod?
[02:18] <sianhulo> lord_enzo, I haven't used nvidia in a while, but as far as i remember, ubuntu wasn't up to date with it's driver, yous hould look for a way to obatin the newer
[02:18] <parabyte> no its a make something
[02:18] <ruser> parabyte: lsmod will show you the modules loaded
[02:18] <parabyte> it detects and makes a .config file for building new kernel
[02:18] <parabyte> ruser, its like make something
[02:18] <lord_enzo> how can I uninstall the drivers the system has just updated? because with those, I cannot start
[02:18] <celltech> Nevermind. Forgot about Sudo apt-get remove -Item-
[02:18] <parabyte> i been for hours scratching my head googaling it even make help
[02:19] <ActionParsnip> celltech: run:  dpkg -l | grep office   it will show you package names, you can thenremove the libreoffice ones
[02:19] <lord_enzo> sianhulo, how can I uninstall the drivers the system has just updated? because with those, I cannot start
[02:19] <ruser> parabyte:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile ?
[02:19] <celltech> ActionParsnip  How do I remove from terminal once opened
[02:20] <hope> lord_enzo: while running, did you try a third-party driver for nvidia?
[02:20] <sianhulo> lord_enzo, newer drivers are supossed to replace old ones
[02:20] <parabyte> ruser, thanks
[02:20] <parabyte> ruser, make localmodconfig
[02:21] <ruser> parabyte: yep, it's all there
[02:21] <parabyte> dunno why its not in make help
[02:21] <sianhulo> lord_enzo, the other option is to use apt-get remove and later install the one who comes with the cd
[02:21] <parabyte> ruser, what annoys me about linux they sometimes miss certain details
[02:21] <lord_enzo> no, when started after the installation, (with nomodeset option at GURB) the automatic updates just told me to activate some nvidia drivers, and I told it to do so…
[02:22] <ruser> parabyte: agreed. usually they are really good with details though :)
[02:22] <lord_enzo> sniahulo, how do I use the apt-get remove command to do so?
[02:22] <ruser> parabyte: atleast  libc man pages are awesome :)
[02:22] <Scott0> ruser: still doing the dist-upgrade?
[02:22] <Scott0> ruser: i went ahead with it :P
[02:23] <ruser> Scott0:  i'm already on 10.04.03 :)
[02:23] <Scott0> so it worked
[02:23] <shawn186> why can't ubuntu look like this anymore? http://design.canonical.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/ambiance-maverick-preview_update.png
[02:23] <Scott0> then whats with the update-manager-core stuff
[02:23] <benlebovitz> hi guys, I just installed 10.04 (64 bit) on a new HP Pavilion... I'm having some trouble with wireless and an extended monitor.  Can anyone point me in the right direction for drivers?
[02:23] <ruser> Scott0: i did do-release-upgrade that is
[02:23] <Scott0> ruser: ah so you did
[02:23] <ruser> Scott0:  that comes writh core
[02:23] <Scott0> im not :P
[02:23] <ruser> Scott0: that's the "proper" way though
[02:24] <lord_enzo> sianhulo, how do I use the apt-get remove command to do so?
[02:24] <Scott0> ruser: did you switch to the lucid sources first?
[02:24] <ruser> benlebovitz: you will need to be a bit more specific as to which wifi chipset and gfx card(s)
[02:24] <ruser> Scott0: nope it does it on it's own
[02:24] <ruser> Scott0: that's the beauty
[02:24] <ruser> lord_enzo: what pacakge are you trying to remove?
[02:24] <Scott0> wish i could do what it needs manually
[02:24] <urlin2u> shawn186, it is not part of the overall development plan basically, but I believe you can install in oneiric a gnome 2 like DE not sure how though, butI think there is a gnome classic
[02:24] <Scott0> not a fan of magic stuff
[02:25] <lord_enzo> ruser: the last one installed, its a nvidia driver package that installed automatically
[02:25] <cyphase> the 'gnome classic' sucks
[02:25] <cyphase> if you mean gnome-session-fallback
[02:25] <shawn186> i have gnome classic installed
[02:25] <multipass> .changelog
[02:25] <Scott0> cyphase: compared to what?
[02:25] <sianhulo> lord_enzo, sudo apt-get remove "name of the package"
[02:25] <shawn186> but it still looks like 11.04 shit
[02:25] <ruser> lord_enzo:  do you know the package name?
[02:25] <lord_enzo> I don't remember…
[02:25] <cyphase> Scott0, compared to what i have now on my 11.04 machine
[02:25] <shawn186> nothing like maverick
[02:25] <shawn186> it is annoying
[02:25] <Scott0> cyphase: are you rich?
[02:25] <lord_enzo> I've been hours with this, and I'm kind of "soft-brained"
[02:26] <sianhulo> but i cat remember the command you use for install packages from a cd
[02:26] <Scott0> cyphase: my hardware cant support the pretty crap
[02:26] <_r00t_> gpu benchmarking under ubuntu ?
[02:26] <cyphase> Scott0, i think you misunderstand. on 11.04 i'm using gnome2, with gnome-panel
[02:26] <cyphase> Scott0, and it looks like it always has
[02:26] <Scott0> cyphase: oooh
[02:26] <cyphase> Scott0, but in 11.10 gnome-session-fallback's gnome-panel is crap
[02:27] <Scott0> cyphase: im on 11.04 using "Ubuntu Classic no effects"
[02:27] <sianhulo> grub2, someone knows about it?
[02:27] <cyphase> Scott0, i'm using classic with effects
[02:27] <Scott0> cyphase: whats the alrternative with 11.10?
[02:27] <dr_willis> ive heard the next big thing for compz will some how makeing it work on non3d acell hardware
[02:27] <Scott0> id like to upgrade but not if im gonna be stuck with unity or a broken gnome2
[02:27] <cyphase> Scott0, i don't know, but i'm gonna take a look at kde now. never though i'd say that
[02:28] <Scott0> and gnome 3 looks too pretty
[02:28] <cyphase> Scott0, i'll give gnome-shell and unity a chance
[02:28] <cyphase> and maybe they'll be better next release
[02:28] <Scott0> eh
[02:28] <j72x>  omfg
[02:28] <Scott0> prob not
[02:28] <cyphase> but i'm pessimistic on them right now
[02:28] <Scott0> everyone is trying to make computing "easy"
[02:29] <cyphase> though really, i'm not sure i want to install 11.10 on my main machine until i sort this out
[02:29] <Scott0> so catering to a generation that wants to avoid having to think to do anything is a mistake
[02:29] <dr_willis> unity will see big imprivements in the next release
[02:29] <ruser> lord_enzo:  you need to track that package name down  try finding it in  here sudo apt-cache search nvidia
[02:29] <spacebug-> dr_willis: but gnome will still be the same version as now right?
[02:30] <dr_willis> spacebug-:  ask the gnome devs. :-)
[02:30] <cyphase> The Next Unity! Even More Babying!
[02:30] <Scott0> when making it looks nice takes second place to functionality, im upset
[02:30] <Scott0> cyphase: lol
[02:30] <spacebug-> dr_willis: heh just read somethign about that in a few blogs
[02:31] <Scott0> cyphase: have you tried gnome3?
[02:31] <urlin2u> Scott0, to be honest I'm surprised you have opposable thumbs at all with your and probably your heredity unable to adapt. :D
[02:31] <sianhulo> I'm upset because they quit screensaver and a way for personalizing the themes you have(i don't like gnome tweak tool)
[02:31] <Scott0> urlin2u: unable to adapt?
[02:31] <cyphase> Scott0, i've given it a cursory try. i dont think i like it, but im gonna give it a chance
[02:31] <Scott0> you seem to be confusing adaptation with encouraging laziness
[02:31] <shawn186> anyone here at all know what I am asking about?
[02:31] <lord_enzo> ruser: it gives me a lot of results…. and I don't remember the right one.
[02:32] <sianhulo> and, i'm upset because i haven't been able to install ubuntu with my pendrive either
[02:32] <Scott0> i dont like encouraging laziness
[02:32] <Scott0> but whatever thats why there are other distros
[02:32] <dr_willis> back to ubuntu support now...
[02:32] <lord_enzo> what I can do is reinstall the system, as it doesn't take long, and I have nothing in the computer, start it again with the nomodeset option, but I would like to know what to do after that… where can I get some proper drivers, or not…
[02:32] <dr_willis> lord_enzo:  what chipset
[02:33] <vishwas> Anbody using tweetdeck?
[02:33] <dibs> I need some help with a vb install of oneric, I had a powerdown during upgrade and now have a blue console screen that is unreadable, how can I get past it?
[02:33] <urlin2u> Scott0, adapt yes ethier use the DE or find another using a circular thinking/complain process on the irc instead of just moving on is rather inefficient.
[02:33] <sianhulo> vishwas, linux lost support of tweetdeck
[02:33] <lord_enzo> amd
[02:33] <Scott0> urlin2u: discussions are not inefficient
[02:33] <Scott0> urlin2u: are you trying to stamp out opposition?
[02:33] <quixotedon> dibs: maybe you need an install CD
[02:34] <lord_enzo> dr_willis. I'm with an AMD Athlon, and the graphic card is a zotac
[02:34] <dr_willis> !text | dibs
[02:34] <urlin2u> Scott0, so tell me then how is this discussion helping you then.
[02:34] <Scott0> i lvoe when people think that discussion about topics they dont agree with are a waste of time
[02:34] <Scott0> its so one sided
[02:34] <dr_willis> lord_enzo: nvudia or ati chipset? not the brand.
[02:34] <dibs> dr_willis: I can get to term that way and managed to get upgrade and update etc finished but still no graphics
[02:34] <Scott0> urlin2u: im obligated to discuss things only to help myself?
[02:35] <lord_enzo> nvidia
[02:35] <lord_enzo> sorry
[02:35] <Scott0> urlin2u: that doesnt sound right
[02:35] <_r00t_> What's a good gpu benchmarking under ubuntu ?
[02:35] <urlin2u> Scott0, lol no gop ahead I am just suggesting you wasting your time canonical will not change, it is you that has to.
[02:35] <Scott0> urlin2u: i know
[02:36] <Scott0> im just upset about the direction all of a sudden
[02:36] <Scott0> being a user since 6.10
[02:36] <dr_willis> lord_enzo:  install with nomodeset, boot with nomodeset, install nvudia drivers, reboot with out nomodeset
[02:36] <Scott0> it makes me sad
[02:36] <dibs> Scott0: what is wrong with direction?
[02:36] <ActionParsnip> _r00t_: some games will allow you to show fps
[02:37] <PhantomPhreak53> I have setup UFW for my ubuntu box. I set default incoming to deny all. Besides my http, ftp, sshd, and mysql are there any ports I should open?
[02:37] <urlin2u> Scott0, cool thing is the 100's of choices you have as far as open source setup.
[02:37] <lord_enzo> dr_willis: that's what I have almost done, I started with ACPI off, then, booted with nomodeset, and Installed one of the two packages the system prompted me to activate, and then, I cannot start with or without nomodeset
[02:37] <_r00t_> thanks ActionParsnip - any suggestions ? I've never played on linux :o
[02:37] <ActionParsnip> _r00t_: http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=486495
[02:37] <RD> is anyone around that can tell me what file to change, i just upgraded a couple days ago, and my desktop is enourmous, i am in my comp with live cd, was hoping there was a configuration file somewhere that i can manually enter my resolution?
[02:38] <lord_enzo> should I start from scratch again?  :(
[02:38] <Scott0> dibs: catering to people who have no desire to learn about computers in order to use them
[02:38] <ActionParsnip> _r00t_: doom3, urban terror, alien arena
[02:38] <Scott0> when they are fully capable of learning
[02:38] <_r00t_> ActionParsnip: Cool and thanks
[02:38] <ActionParsnip> _r00t_: http://www.techdrivein.com/2011/07/top-10-fps-games-for-linux.html
[02:38] <ActionParsnip> _r00t_: urban terror is sweet if you like countersrike
[02:38] <dr_willis> lord_enzo:  with 11.10 for me i dont evenneed nomodeset at all.... on my 4 nvudia nqchines
[02:39] <dibs> Scott0: you don't need to be leet to need to use a computer. You can chose to just use terminal to do everything if you object to user friendly ui?
[02:39] <Scott0> dibs: i didnt think ubuntu would go that way
[02:39] <Scott0> there was no prior indication to me that it would
[02:39] <Scott0> kind of blindsided by it
[02:39] <_r00t_> nope dont like gaming.
[02:39] <dibs> Scott0: it's "linux for human beings"
[02:39] <Scott0> dibs: im not human?
[02:39] <ojs> hey guys… vote for my band please, just have to open the link: http://tinyurl.com/3k2bwgb  thanks *-*
[02:40] <ActionParsnip> _r00t_: i dont game much. I used to a lot. the forst link I gave has a lot of benchmarking stuffs
[02:40] <dibs> Scott0: Can't be sure
[02:40] <Scott0> dibs: being human has nothing to do with having the desire to learn
[02:40] <Scott0> they can learn, they just dont want to
[02:40] <dibs> Scott0: learn what?
[02:40] <lord_enzo> dr_willis, don't know, it's my first time with a linux, and it's being a nightmare! I don't know what happens… In my Mac laptop (with nvidia also) it works perfectly.. being a mac! but with the AMD/nvidia one it's crazy
[02:40] <_r00t_> Thanks ActionParsnip - Yes I'm going to use that lost
[02:40] <Scott0> the ins and outs of computers
[02:40] <dibs> not everyone is wanting to know this htough
[02:41] <hope> just installed 11.10 ubuntu studio and cannot setup a 2nd display like i can in ubuntu.  need some help...:-(
[02:41] <sianhulo> Scott0,  there are people who aren't "capable" to learn. I personally use the console the most i can, it's faster than a GUI
[02:41] <dibs> I like to know, you do too obviously but it should not be mandated
[02:41] <Scott0> great, gonn have ubuntu users that dont know the difference between the power button and the one to iopen the optical drive
[02:41] <Scott0> its sad, i have proof that such individuals exist
[02:41] <dr_willis> lord_enzo:  the mac works but nirmal pc has ussues hmm..
[02:41] <sianhulo> however, people may choice
[02:41] <cyphase> Scott0, Alt+right-click lets you add things to the panel
[02:41] <cyphase> Scott0, in gnome-classic
[02:41] <Scott0> cyphase: is that good?
[02:41] <dibs> Scott0:  it sound slike you need to get a windows machine, very complicated, lots of challenges, good times
[02:41] <emery> How do I add one single song to Banshee? Without rescanning everything.
[02:42] <Scott0> dibs: umm what you are explaining is supposed to be linux
[02:42] <hope> scott0: i thought that was a cup-holder!
[02:42] <cyphase> Scott0, at least you *can* add things to the panel. i thought it wast possible after i tried before
[02:42] <Scott0> dibs: and besides, why would i pay for an operating system?
[02:42] <dr_willis> emery drag and drop perhaps
[02:42] <dibs> because you like to make it difficult?
[02:42] <emery> dr willis.......... trying
[02:42] <dibs> to learn from the experience?
[02:43] <lord_enzo> dr_willis, what I meant, is that mac starts with EFI and all the stuff, and they have all that proprietary hardware/software, and it doesn't give me problems, but the other, which should work straight away doesn't… i don't have problems assuming it's my fault, but I keep frustrating
[02:43] <Scott0> dibs: linux is historically been an OS that encourages learning through difficulty
[02:43] <Scott0> its fun!
[02:43] <dr_willis> lord_enzo: what exact nvudia chipset?
[02:44] <ActionParsnip> Scott0: I found Win7 hard and I've use Windows and inux for years
[02:44] <dibs> Scott0: Ubuntu is about accessability isn't it?
[02:44] <sianhulo> so, if you have an enterprise and you want to upgrade computers hardware, you'll lost baluable time to amek it works properly?
[02:44] <Scott0> ActionParsnip: windows 7 is easy
[02:44] <dibs> So who can tell me how to get graphical mode working in ocelt from term?
[02:44] <PhantomPhreak53> Should I block these with UFW, 139/tcp  open  netbios-ssn and 445/tcp  open  microsoft-ds
[02:44] <dibs> ActionParsnip: Scott0 is very skilled
[02:44] <Scott0> dibs: accessability? meaning for the disabled?
[02:44] <sianhulo> Scott0, ia have an hp pavilion, i find w7 difficult there are options that i dont know where are
[02:44] <ActionParsnip> Scott0: took me 2 hours to find sound drivers and crank page file on my asus p1-ah2 pundit
[02:45] <Scott0> sianhulo: then research and learn
[02:45] <emery> Drag and drop is a negative
[02:45] <lord_enzo> dr_willis, zotac gts250 1gb tells you something?
[02:45] <sianhulo> i'm not going to buy another laptop hp, it comes with 4 primary partition
[02:45] <sianhulo> so i cannot install linux
[02:45] <ActionParsnip> Scott0: everything works out of the box (even my wireless) in Ubuntu and any other linux distro I have thrown at it
[02:45] <Scott0> sianhulo: i would never buy and hp
[02:45] <robin0800> emm
[02:45] <Scott0> ActionParsnip: thats a fairly new concept in ubuntu :P
[02:45] <ActionParsnip> Scott0: I had to use websearching and finding drivers from 3rd party sources to make my hardwae work
[02:45] <sianhulo> Scott0,  but it's difficult because they want, it's an organization problem
[02:45] <dr_willis> lord_enzo: gts250 is the exact chipset im guessing
[02:45] <ActionParsnip> Scott0: It's been that way since Gutsy back in 2007
[02:46] <robin0800> emery, double click works
[02:46] <cyphase> i think i'm just gonna stay on 11.04 for now
[02:46] <hope> sianhulo: gparted, wipe the other partitions and go full linux.
[02:46] <lord_enzo> dr_willis: that means I'm screwed?
[02:46] <cyphase> maybe try other distros/DEs
[02:46] <sianhulo> hope, yep, i would lost the guarantee
[02:46] <Scott0> cyphase: we need to share experiences as it seems as we are looking for the same thing
[02:47] <ActionParsnip> Scott0: Win7 has everything moved around, like add remove programs is now programs and features. I had to use the web to find that out, sometthing so basic
[02:47] <hope> sianhulo: make a restore disc first if you're not sure.
[02:47] <ActionParsnip> Scott0: in ubuntu it's a lot clearer
[02:47] <Scott0> ActionParsnip: its not that bad, its actually more stable, and besides youc an search for things int he control panel using the search box
[02:47] <cyphase> Scott0, sure. PM me so we don't annoy the rest of the channel :P
[02:47] <Scott0> lol
[02:48] <dr_willis> lord_enzo:  no idea.  i think my desktop has a gts230 that works fine.
[02:48] <sianhulo> furthermore i'm not going to unistall windows(4gb ddr3,  i7 and 1gb vram, it's meantfor playing)
[02:48] <sianhulo> and windows on it's own uses 2 partitions
[02:48] <ActionParsnip> Scott0: I wasnt aware of tht. I've used from 3.1 all the way up to Vista and it's always changing, throwing established users off
[02:48] <Scott0> ActionParsnip: so have i, but ive admnistered them, not just use
[02:49] <sianhulo> right now would be ebtter to isntall wit wubi, but it doesn't work
[02:49] <ActionParsnip> Scott0: me too. I'm a noc engineer by trade
[02:49] <goldjian> hi there
[02:49] <Malgorath> i really am stuck on this problem. I have my eth0 link up ever 30 to 45 seconds
[02:49] <whatsaHacker> Does the stock kubuntu networking widget just fucking suck or something?? I finally got my wireless working with bmcwl-kernel-source but now the POS won't let me connect to any of the access points it shows
[02:49] <dr_willis> bbl
[02:49] <emery> robin0800 double click didn't work ..unless I have to restart my computer.
[02:50] <goldjian> we have wifi driver issue with a dell inspiron 640m .... trying to find where bcmwl-modaliases get installed
[02:50] <lord_enzo> dr_willis: well, I'm resintalling it again, starting with nomodeset from the beginning and not using acpi off), after that I will boot with nomodeset again (if necessary, which I think it will be) and I'll ask again which package of drivers I should install of the ones that the system let me choose. By the way, I chose 64bit system, not the 32… i don't know if this can come from there…
[02:50] <goldjian> not able to find them
[02:50] <ActionParsnip> whatsaHacker: if you run:  dmesg | grep -i firm
[02:50] <ActionParsnip> whatsaHacker: does it show missing firmware files at all
[02:50] <sianhulo> someone knows about grub2?I'm trying to install from an iso
[02:51] <whatsaHacker> ActionParsnip: Shows 2 Firmware Bugs: ACPI: BIOS_OSI(Linux) query ignored .... && .... Duplicate ACPT video vus devices for the same VGA controller..blah blah blah
[02:52] <ActionParsnip> whatsaHacker: what bout the new exchange interface, and the new citrix console. I had to relearn a whole slew of stuff I already knew because they jumbled it up. Its nonesense
[02:52] <ActionParsnip> whatsaHacker: sorry wrong target
[02:52] <ActionParsnip> Scott0:  what bout the new exchange interface, and
[02:52] <ActionParsnip>                        the new citrix console. I had to relearn a whole slew of
[02:52] <ActionParsnip>                        stuff I already knew because they jumbled it up. Its
[02:52] <ActionParsnip>                        nonesense
[02:52] <Scott0> ActionParsnip: i havent gotten to use 2008 yet
[02:52] <whatsaHacker> what target should i use?
[02:52] <Scott0> still on 2003
[02:52] <i3luefire> about how long should an fsck take on a 3.7TB lvm
[02:54] <lord_enzo> dr_willis: reinstalled, now I'm trying to boot for the fist time
[02:54] <luist> http://tinyurl.com/3k2bwgb  <--- just click to vote on my band ^^ thanks!
[02:54] <i3luefire> and does it really need to be done at all?
[02:55] <goldjian> . trying to find where wifi drivers (in my case bcmwl-modaliases) get installed
[02:55] <goldjian> any idea ?
[02:56] <whatsaHacker> lol
[02:56] <sianhulo> i'm trying(again)to install linux, propably i will come in a while
[02:56] <whatsaHacker> ima bout ready to just delete kubuntu and try suse on this laptop
[02:56] <whatsaHacker> lol
[02:56] <whatsaHacker> >_<
[02:57] <ActionParsnip> Scott0: its all different, again
[02:57] <Broschi> how can  i alter my macbook pros firmware if i only have linux on here?
[02:57] <cdubya> I just updated to 11.10 and am trying to install virtualbox guest additions from the regular virtualbox package in the repos but the source url is bad. any ideas?
[02:57] <ActionParsnip> Scott0: just to throw you off
[02:57] <Scott0> ActionParsnip: i heard of improvments to exchange
[02:57] <ActionParsnip> cdubya: can you give the output of:  sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose
[02:58] <ActionParsnip> Scott0: there are some extra features but the exchange interface is all over and its frustrating
[02:58] <Broschi> any geniuses on here tonight?
[02:59] <Broschi> ugh.. all n00bs i take it.. bye
[03:00] <xangua> Broschi: drop that attitude, all here are volunteer
[03:00] <cdubya> ActionParsnip, it installed fine, but I already had virtualbox installed, not the ose version
[03:00] <hope> any help with multiple display settings in 11.10 studio?
[03:00] <ActionParsnip> cdubya: I see, so what is the issue again please?
[03:01] <cdubya> ActionParsnip, the guest additions install fails from the net with a bad url....
[03:02] <ActionParsnip> cdubya: can you pastebin the error you are seeing please
[03:02] <dibs> How do I check if graphics are working from terminal and then try to launch desktop?
[03:03] <sianhulo> as i though, it didn't help
[03:03] <sianhulo> fellows, I need your help, I'm trying boot using an iso from grub2(because i cannot boot from usb)but I cannot, I've tried with some entries but when I try to boot i alwasy get 3 errors, " the disk cannot get C/H/S values","such disk doesn't exist" and "the kernel have to be loaded first"(or something like that). the only way i can boot with an iso iss by unetbootin(putting the iso on the hard dive) but that way I'm unable to install. these are my entries
[03:03] <cdubya> ActionParsnip, I have a screenshot.....
[03:03] <sianhulo>  http://pastebin.com/L8SGh08u
[03:05] <dr_willis> sianhulo:  i have some bookmarks at delicious.com/dr_willis  on iso booting with grub2
[03:06] <sianhulo> dr_willis, I'll check it out, thanks
[03:07] <ActionParsnip> cdubya: cool, use imageshack or similar to host
[03:07] <dr_willis> sianhulo: im not sure your loopback loop paths are right
[03:07] <sianhulo> dr_willis, i'm not either
[03:08] <dr_willis> sianhulo:  wont want wheres uts mounted at now.. but the actual location. hd0/foo.iso  i think..
[03:08] <sianhulo> one of the links no longer exist and the other one means to use plop,and it's necesary because some time ago I was helped here without installing further packages
[03:09] <dr_willis> sianhulo:  check my links fir examples
[03:09] <sianhulo> dr_willis, i'm checking them, one is down, two are for http, one for use plop and the last one is multicd
[03:09] <dr_willis> each distro has its own options it seems also
[03:10] <dr_willis> multicd gurb1
[03:10] <sianhulo> multicd if for grub legacy?
[03:10] <dr_willis> gurb2 may work
[03:11] <dr_willis> been ages sunce i messed with iso grub2
[03:11] <sianhulo> well, i really didn't want to install nothing, i'm already tired, but i will try
[03:12] <dr_willis> im very sure your loopback loop paths are wrong
[03:12] <sianhulo> i wasn't paying attention, i have to burn an cd, my cdrom is not working any longer
[03:13] <sianhulo> dr_willis, yes, but i didn't get wat you wanted to say in there(english isn't my mother tongue)
[03:13] <TheCowboy> How do you add more walls to the desktop wall?
[03:14] <dr_willis> www.dangibbs.co.uk/journal/how-to-boot-live-cd-iso-with-grub2-ubuntu
[03:15] <sianhulo> dr_willis, if i'm understanding you, you're telling me to put the path of the .iso, and that what i put in there :S, that's confusing me
[03:15] <dr_willis> sianhulo:  check that url how they guve the path to the iso
[03:16] <sianhulo> dr_willis, i can boot from iso if i put it in my "/", but that way i'm not able to install
[03:16] <dr_willis> its not a normal linux path
[03:16] <cdubya> ActionParsnip, http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/521/vboxerror.png/
[03:16] <dr_willis> i put mine in its own /boot partitiin
[03:17] <dr_willis> or a vfat partition
[03:17] <hanasaki> why does the openjdk7 bring in the openjdk6 also?
[03:17] <sianhulo> dr_willis, but, were you able to format you "7" partition while installing?
[03:18] <dr_willis> sianhulo: i biited the iso and reinstalled yes
[03:18] <dibs> how to start ocelot graphics from terminal?
[03:18] <dr_willis> 7? what? 7?
[03:19] <sianhulo> sorry, "/"*. btw, bited?
[03:19] <dr_willis> dibs:  try startx
[03:19] <valorin> Anyone having issues with the latest 11.10 update? Unity won't start any more for me...
[03:19] <dibs> dr_willis: I thought this might be it, I try and I have to install, should it not be already installed? was worried something else is afoot.
[03:20] <dr_willis> sianhulo:  /boot is uts iwn partition fow me. i boot the iso and can reinstall the whole os
[03:20] <cdubya> hanasaki, been along time since I've seen you around....
[03:20] <hanasaki> I fly by at times... hi ya cdubya
[03:20] <sianhulo> dr_willis, but i only have "/" and "/hoe" partitions
[03:20] <dibs> oohlala I have graphics again, great success. Thank you all
[03:20] <sianhulo> "/home"*
[03:20] <cdubya> you still bangin away with java?
[03:20] <dr_willis> my /boot is 5 gb :-)
[03:21] <hanasaki> how ya been cdubya
[03:21] <sianhulo> but you check /boot as it will be going to be used by the system?
[03:21] <dr_willis> sianhulo: you coyld put it on /home if you wanted. and do not want to reformat home
[03:21] <cdubya> hanasaki, good...don't write code as much as I used to...kinda miss it. You?
[03:22] <sianhulo> iin that case i might be able to load from my /home, right?
[03:22] <dr_willis> backup any custome grub changes you do.
[03:22] <sianhulo> dr_willis, i've got a little lag
[03:22] <thesheff17> I have a laptop that has two batteries attached.  When the first one reaches the shutdown/hibernate threshold it turns off and then I can't get it back on....I have popped out the dead battery...and started it back up and it continues to work...anyway to disable this?
[03:22] <hanasaki> just seems odd that openjdk7 brings in openjdk6 also and then javac is the v6!
[03:23] <thesheff17> This is Ubuntu 11.10 using gnome3
[03:23] <sianhulo> dr_willis, sorry for being so annoying, but i don't understand that root: (hd0,msdos5). how do i know about the second term?because i always used numbers
[03:25] <dr_willis> id suggest the grub docs.  i  cant recall how its determined
[03:25] <indieross> im trying to get a list of all the mp3s in a directory and output it to a file with ls -R | grep *mp3 > output.txt
[03:25] <indieross> but it does not work, what ami doing wrong?
[03:26] <hanasaki> is there a fix for this? http://askubuntu.com/questions/64329/how-to-replace-openjdk-6-with-openjdk-7
[03:26] <yaboo> trying to reassemble a raid array have four of the five disks and recreates the array, but cannot mount the array
[03:26] <pnorman> indieross: try ls *.mp3
[03:27] <indieross> ahh for sure
[03:27] <xangua> hanasaki: isn't openjdk 7 on oneiric¿
[03:27] <dr_willis> grep *mp3 may be wrong also
[03:27] <indieross> it is
[03:27] <pnorman> I think the technical reason it didn't work was that *mp3 isn't a valid regexp, you'd want .*mp3 I think
[03:27] <pnorman> But my first suggestion is the easier way
[03:28] <hanasaki> xangua: yes. read the URL... installing it also brings in v6 :(
[03:28] <indieross> pnorman .*mp3 is what i needed
[03:28] <indieross> thanks much
[03:29] <Arcademan> Is there a way to get back the old scroll bars in Ubuntu?
[03:29] <pnorman> * operates on the previous character or sub-expression. . represents any character
[03:29] <xangua> Arcademan: saw it on webupd8 tweak post of oneiric

[03:29] <Toidi> Does anyone have an issue with the new UI not showing the menu if using a dual monitor setup and the application is in full screen?
[03:30] <Toidi> Not even pressing the windows key will bring it up till I unmaximize the window on the screen with the menu bar
[03:30] <JustBecauseYouAr> someone with  a brain help me out real quick
[03:31] <JustBecauseYouAr> can i update my macbook pros firmware using linux or no?
[03:31] <sianhulo> dr_willis, i think it may be dependind on sdax(taking x)
[03:31] <sianhulo> i'm gonna try
[03:31] <Toidi> JustBecauseYouAr, Did you look on the forums?
[03:31] <JustBecauseYouAr> im here in this chat asking
[03:31] <roasted> Question - if I want to dual boot my macbook and ubuntu, can I downsize OSX and install Ubuntu or do I need to do a fresh install with a fresh partition table?
[03:31] <sianhulo> if i'm not here within 10 minutes, it worked
[03:31] <JustBecauseYouAr> thanks for a unhelpful reply
[03:32] <sianhulo> JustBecauseYouAr, thanks for your impolite treatment ;)
[03:32] <sianhulo> well, there i go
[03:32] <JustBecauseYouAr> Anyone in here need help? just ask me and ill give the "did you check the forums" for an answer and act like i know computers
[03:33] <Toidi> JustBecauseYouAr, I don't own a mac and I am trying to get my own work done.
[03:33] <JustBecauseYouAr> k then dont reply to my question
[03:33] <Toidi> JustBecauseYouAr, Also the forums are very helpful and there is no need to be flat out rude. 90% of the questions asked here are also on the forums.
[03:33] <Arcademan> ty xangua
[03:33] <JustBecauseYouAr> why are you in here toidi
[03:34] <Toidi> JustBecauseYouAr, Because the forums didn't answer my question/bug
[03:34] <JustBecauseYouAr> im sure you are using linux on a pos acer computer or something
[03:34] <ActionParsnip> roasted: you may be able to resize the mac filesystem
[03:34] <ActionParsnip> JustBecauseYouAr: acer have got a lot better recently
[03:34] <roasted> ActionParsnip, can gparted do that or do I need a mac utility?
[03:34] <JustBecauseYouAr> yeah im sure they did
[03:35] <JustBecauseYouAr> so did asus too right
[03:35] <ActionParsnip> roasted: not sure, I don't buy mac rubbish
[03:35] <JustBecauseYouAr> i know.. anything that cost 1800 bucks is rubbish
[03:35] <roasted> ActionParsnip, nor do I. It's a work laptop and I want to liberate it. :P
[03:35] <pnorman> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1594759 says to use disk utility
[03:35] <roasted> ActionParsnip, besides, we're moving to ubuntu, but we're not there full bore just yet. takes time!
[03:35] <JustBecauseYouAr> you are all tools for using ubuntu anyway
[03:35] <JustBecauseYouAr> liniuxmint11 is available
[03:36] <JustBecauseYouAr> go use that like a smart person would
[03:36] <pnorman> roasted: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1594759 was for you. but, as it notes, *back up*
[03:36] <pnorman> a crash or power blink while resizing a partition stands a very good chance of causing you to lose your data.
[03:37] <roasted> pnorman, maybe I should worry about downsizing my OSX partition on the mac side before I even worry about linux
[03:37] <ActionParsnip> JustBecauseYouAr: its based on ubuntu so will be near identical. Mint is also offtopic here
[03:37] <JustBecauseYouAr> its actually NOT based off ubuntu lol
[03:37] <ActionParsnip> JustBecauseYouAr: its still not discussed here
[03:38] <JustBecauseYouAr> its another distro of linux bruh
[03:38] <emery> How do I add one single song to Banshee? Without rescanning everything.
[03:38] <JustBecauseYouAr> also a lot more stable and reliable
[03:38] <roasted> JustBecauseYouAr, can't say I've ever had a stability problem on ubuntu, and i use it for some core server uses as well.
[03:39] <cdubya> roasted, won't disk utility let you rsize a partition?
[03:39] <pnorman> roasted: http://www.dailyblogged.com/1076/resizing-hfs-partitions/ suggests using a gparted live CD todo it but calls for some steps in disk utility. but ya, shrinking the partition is the first step.
[03:39] <roasted> JustBecauseYouAr, I do recommend seizing the trolling though, as it's incredibly irritating.
[03:39] <roasted> cdubya, yeah,  but I'm concerned about linux's ability to handle OSX partitions with HFS+ file system
[03:39] <ActionParsnip> JustBecauseYouAr: "Based on Debian and Ubuntu, it provides about 30,000 packages and one of the best software managers." from http://www.linuxmint.com/about.php
[03:39] <ActionParsnip> JustBecauseYouAr: just to educate
[03:39] <JustBecauseYouAr> educate yourself
[03:39] <JustBecauseYouAr> UNIX bruh
[03:40] <danbeam> Anybody that wants slick download progress bars for Chromium in Unity, star this bug - http://crbug.com/102792
[03:40] <i_is_broke> dont feed the troll
[03:40] <JustBecauseYouAr> feed me im hungry
[03:40] <cdubya> roasted, I guess I was thinking of resizing your partitioned and then having some unpartitioned space available that you could use gparted to handle
[03:40] <ActionParsnip> JustBecauseYouAr: ok, you go and tell the mint devs what their product is. Let me know how that goes for you
[03:40] <JustBecauseYouAr> ANYWAYS
[03:40] <i3luefire> what is the best way to create an RSA key pair in windows?
[03:40] <jgornick> join #symfony
[03:40] <jgornick> meh
[03:41] <JustBecauseYouAr> partitioning in linux is pretty easy.. someone give the poor kid a straight answer
[03:41] <JustBecauseYouAr> doesnt take a lot of effort
[03:41] <roasted> JustBecauseYouAr, in regard to resizing HFS+. That's the key. Now piss off.
[03:41] <ActionParsnip> JustBecauseYouAr: it involves HFS which may cause issues, not sure myself so I cannot really comment
[03:41] <JustBecauseYouAr> so refer this kid to google.com like always then eh?>
[03:41] <ActionParsnip> roasted: nice but be civil pleas
[03:42] <roasted> ban first. civil later.
[03:42] <ActionParsnip> JustBecauseYouAr: no, wait for someone to advise
[03:42] <JustBecauseYouAr> ban is for fags
[03:42] <JustBecauseYouAr> i allowed u to say piss off to me
[03:42] <xangua> !ops | JustBecauseYouAr

[03:44] <sianhulo> now the first one changed to file not found, but the rest remains
[03:45] <ActionParsnip> Sterist: do you mean gnome-terminal ?
[03:45] <Sterist> ActionParsnip actually the one used under xubuntu but i think it's the same. maybe it's just xfce4-terminal
[03:46] <Sterist> ActionParsnip i know theres an xubuntu channel but there's like 80 or fewer people and they're usually idle lol
[03:47] <sianhulo> someone who knows about grub2?
[03:47] <domingo> hello
[03:47] <neo_> my problem is i cannot connect to a adhoc network in ubuntu
[03:47] <ActionParsnip> Sterist: possibly xterm

[03:50] <sianhulo> what do you need?
[03:51] <domingo> sianhulo aqui se puede hablar en privado ?
[03:52] <Sterist> ActionParsnip aah there IS an xfce4-terminal

[03:53] <_sivanov> how i install ubuntu 11.10 server on intel matrix raid, the text instal cannot find any disks to install, however, dmraid shows a mirror davice
[03:54] <sianhulo> people, i need help with grub2, i wanna boot with an iso(and install it)someone knows what to do?
[03:55] <dannnnn> i changed the owner of a dir to a user called 'dan'
[03:56] <dannnnn> and chmod that dir to 700
[03:56] <dannnnn> however, even after that i can still open that dir when logged into winscp as root
[03:56] <dannnnn> that should not be possible!
[03:56] <qin> dannnnn: root is uber
[03:57] <dannnnn> but when logged in as root via ssh i can't access that dir as root
[03:57] <dannnnn> it should not be possible to access it unless logged in as dan
[03:57] <qin> dannnnn: In other hand...
[03:58] <dannnnn> whats the point of being able to change ownership if root can always log in
[03:58] <dannnnn> and open it
[04:00] <dr_willis> root is special
[04:00] <dr_willis> other users however would be locked out
[04:00] <qin> dannnnn: One think for sure, neither ssh or any other service sould allow root login (unless really have to).
[04:00] <qin> *nor
[04:02] <dr_willis> normally you dont ssh in directly as root
[04:02] <dr_willis> its a security setting of sshd
[04:03] <dannnnn> ok
[04:03] <wankdanker_> if you do allow root ssh login you should only allow with certificates, not with password auth
[04:03] <dannnnn> i always shh as root
[04:03] <wankdanker_> from my understanding
[04:03] <dannnnn> can i deny root login via some config file ?
[04:03] <qin> dannnnn: /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[04:04] <dannnnn> thanks
[04:04] <katyl> hi is there anyway i can get desktop effects with a sis graphics card?
[04:04] <dr_willis> the default is allready to deny..
[04:04] <dannnnn> well im able to get in just fine
[04:05] <dr_willis> of course the default ubuntu has no root password either
[04:05] <ActionParsnip> katyl: I don't believe they do 3D stuff under Linux
[04:05] <danbeam> anybody know where I'd be able to find a guide to developing native apps that integrate with Unity?
[04:05] <danbeam> or is there a different channel I should ask?
[04:05] <qin> dr_willis: Brutal logic.
[04:05] <katyl> does that mean no cube etc?
[04:05] <dr_willis> katyl:  with sis be happy it works at all
[04:05] <ActionParsnip> katyl: correct, that requires 3D accelleration
[04:06] <dr_willis> katyl:  sis it about the worse video maker out..
[04:06] <katyl> im happy it works! i just wanted to show other ppl and the effects help...
[04:07] <katyl> do you know how easy it is to upgrade the graphics card?
[04:07] <neo_> hello
[04:07] <neo_> can any one seemee
[04:07] <aeon-ltd> katyl: laptop?
[04:07] <wankdanker_> katyl: easy on desktop
[04:07] <katyl> desktop-acer (sa60)
[04:07] <aeon-ltd> wankdanker_: unless it's a 'nettop' for factor
[04:08] <wankdanker_> aeon-ltd: right on
[04:08] <dr_willis> katyl:  do a little research on what will fit also and the kind of card
[04:09] <dr_willis> agp, pcie so on..
[04:09] <aeon-ltd> katyl: easy, if you have a pci-e slot (99.99999999% you will) all you have to do is insert it, move the vga cable to the card and that's it. the only hard part is researching your pc's limit on power
[04:09] <JokesOnYou77> Hi all, how do I print the output of a command to a text file and suppress the output in the terminal? (the output is thousands of lines)
[04:10] <zykotick9> JokesOnYou77, using something like "ls > file.txt"
[04:10] <wankdanker_> do you guys feel that nvidia is the way to go? i haven't tried an amd card or whatever they used to be called in years
[04:11] <JokesOnYou77> zykotick9: That's exactly what I'm doing now: "ls -h -R -l /path/tofile > name.txt" but it floods the terminal window
[04:11] <aeon-ltd> wankdanker_: yes, until the drivers catch up; but i assume most amd/ati users dual boot to make the most of it
[04:11] <Naqut> Quick, hopefully easy question: How can I install 11.10 to a USB flash drive? (Not LiveUSB, but an actual installation)
[04:12] <aeon-ltd> !persustent | Naqut
[04:12] <TheCowboy> How do you add more walls to the desktop wall?
[04:12] <aeon-ltd> !persistent | NAQUT
[04:12] <wankdanker_> aeon-ltd: that's what i figured. didn't know if they had actually caught up yet. too bad.
[04:12] <zykotick9> JokesOnYou77, is the output you are seeing error messages?
[04:12] <katyl> how do i know if i have pci-e slot?
[04:13] <JokesOnYou77> Naqut: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/installing-ubuntu-to-a-usb-hard-drive/ You can basically install it exactly as you would to a normal hdd, just be careful not to overwrite your actual hard drives
[04:13] <katyl> e for expansion or express?
[04:13] <aeon-ltd> express
[04:13] <JokesOnYou77> zykotick9: no just a really massive amount of information.
[04:13] <Naqut> Doing the install in a VM with no HD, forwarding the usb device to the VM
[04:14] <JokesOnYou77> zykotick9: I also can't tell if my scrollback limits are cutting the output either
[04:14] <LinoSP> Naqut: I use the liveCD and  point GRUB to the USB flash drive  for that ;) (as a normal HDD)
[04:14] <Naqut> JokesOnYou77, I don't get the option on 11.10 to select the partitions
[04:14] <katyl> and if i dont have an express slot? the only ones a can see are pci 2.2 slots
[04:14] <zykotick9> JokesOnYou77, um, there is a variable i'm not seeing (thinking of) here.  When i use your command i get no output in my terminal.  Sorry i don't have an answer.  Good luck.
[04:17] <JokesOnYou77> zykotick9: really? but the text file has the listing?  I'm trying to map the permissions for files on a large shared system because the old sysadmin was really inconsistant in the way he set things up so I'm trying to see how far the file permission descrepancies go into individual user's directories
[04:17] <zykotick9> katyl, seem acer's page for your computer is at http://support.acer.com/acerpanam/desktop/0000/Acer/AspireSA60/AspireSA60sp2.shtml i have no idea what a VGA slot is, i'm guessing they meant AGP?
[04:18] <JokesOnYou77> Naqut: Really? What do you mean, slect the partitions?  That guide is real old...
[04:18] <urlin2u> TheCowboy, generally the compiz-configuration-manager is where you do this are you using the alt-tab to switch?
[04:18] <Naqut> Basically, it just comes up with a window with no partitions show, and the add/remove/edit etc. buttons are greyed
[04:19] <TheCowboy> urlin2u, I didn't see an option to add more walls, I'm using ctrl-alt and the arrow keys to slide between walls
[04:20] <zykotick9> JokesOnYou77, i'm testing with "ls -h -R -l /usr/ > test.txt" and no output to terminal, ended up with a 8.5M file
[04:21] <JokesOnYou77> zykotick9: You were right!  The output was errors for files I don't have permissions on.  Thank you :)
[04:21] <katyl> think vga is video graphics array
[04:22] <wankdanker_> yeah, it was before agp, me thinks
[04:22] <zykotick9> wankdanker_, before AGP was PCI
[04:22] <noonday> hi everyone, I really need dictionary programs (word translation from one lang to another)
[04:22] <zenrox> katyl, vga = video grafx adapter
[04:22] <urlin2u> TheCowboy, general-desktopsize the adding thigh may not be easy not sure sense with 4 it is a flat cube without the cube which is actually easy to setup, which can have lots of sizes
[04:22] <noonday> it' s like the one feature that makes me yearn for Windows
[04:22] <JokesOnYou77> Naqut: You can't select the device to install to?  I haven't done this with 11.10, I've only tried it with BackTrack5 and only had moderate success, but I have been able to start the process.  You may need to reformat the USB you want to use.  How big is it?
[04:22] <wankdanker_> zykotick9: right. beer.
[04:23] <Naqut> 16GB. No worries, I think I found a way to do it another wya
[04:23] <zykotick9> katyl, VGA is a port, not a slot - that page is just wrong...
[04:24] <JokesOnYou77> Naqut: Cool.  good luck
[04:24] <TheCowboy> urlin2u, didn't know about that, will give it a try, thank you
[04:24] <BentSpace> Since I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 11.10 on my Toshiba Satellite Laptop, I have been experiencing a lot of crashes, spontaneous log offs and spontaneous shut downs.  Any ideas what's cause it or how fix?  Didn't have this many problems with 11.04, though it did crash as well.  The spontaneous shut downs worry me a little cause that could damage something, right?
[04:24] <urlin2u> TheCowboy, no problem.
[04:24] <JokesOnYou77> Naqut: Actually, what way is that?  I've only had limited success doing this myself and alternatives wouls be appreciated lol
[04:26] <Naqut> basically, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent
[04:27] <boxbeatsy> hi, i'm trying to run the following line via command line 'echo "cd public_html\nmput -r /var/www/foldername" | ncftp -umy_un -pmy_pass domain.com > ftp.log 2>&1 &', but the only command being piped into ncftp is "cd ".  does anyone know what i'm doing wrong?
[04:27] <boxbeatsy> when i dont include '> ftp.log 2>&1 &' it works ifne
[04:27] <JokesOnYou77> Naqut: Ahh, yeah, I've been trying to get away from the persistent install because flash drives just cause so many disk errors, but it works really well most of the time
[04:28] <katyl> hey-thanks you're right that page is wrong i have got  an agp slot
[04:28] <zykotick9> katyl, that makes sense ;)
[04:29] <katyl> d:) can i get a new card easily then?
[04:29] <wankdanker_> do they still make agp cards?
[04:30] <i_is_broke> ebay
[04:30] <zenrox> craiglist
[04:30] <zenrox> screw ebay
[04:30] <katyl> what are the best cards to look for?
[04:30] <zenrox> any thang with more than 128mbs of ram
[04:30] <katyl> for pci or agp slot?
[04:31] <zenrox> agp
[04:31] <zenrox> and posabley nvidia or ati cards
[04:31] <zenrox> i would say nvidia
[04:31] <wankdanker_> nvidia++
[04:32] <zenrox> just cause i ant ever had a prob setting it up
[04:32] <Fraak87> hello
[04:32] <BentSpace> Is there any way to look at a log of what caused the spontaneous shut down?
[04:33] <katyl> so if i get a nvidia (or ati) card with an agi slot then everything should work ok?
[04:33] <katyl> (agp)
[04:33] <zenrox> if you have a agp slot yep that is what you want
[04:34] <katyl> would have to do anything funny with the power?
[04:34] <zykotick9> katyl, i won't recommend nvidia (non-free driver), BUT i'd recommend against ATI (also non-free)
[04:34] <LinoSP> Naqut: maybe this is what r you looking for   http://www.twm-kd.com/software/boot-virtualbox-machine-from-a-usb-flash-drive/
[04:34] <katyl> anything you would recommend?
[04:34] <thesheff17_> anyone know how to disable the shutdown when a battery is low?
[04:35] <zykotick9> katyl, nvidia over ati was my point ;)
[04:35] <wankdanker_> zykotick9: is that your phylisophical position?
[04:35] <urlin2u> thesheff17, what do you want to happen?
[04:35] <thesheff17_> I have a laptop with two batteries and when one reaches a low level it powers off the laptop even though the other battery is full.
[04:35] <zenrox> zykotick9,  you confized me
[04:35] <zenrox> be more clear
[04:35] <zenrox> lol
[04:35] <katyl> ahh d:) that makes more sense!
[04:35] <zykotick9> zenrox, nvidia over ati was my point ;)
[04:36] <katyl> would i take the other card out?
[04:36] <thesheff17_> urlin2u, any ideas? This is ubuntu 11.10
[04:36] <zenrox> zykotick9, i noticed that after i reread what you had type
[04:36] <zenrox> katyl, yes
[04:37] <thesheff17_> Might have to go back to 11.04 until this is fixed
[04:37] <katyl> so then the power usage would be about the same?
[04:37] <zenrox> ya
[04:37] <urlin2u> thesheff17, not really I only have one battery, there probably is a way though, just make sure your clear when you explain what you need.
[04:37] <thesheff17_> sure will do
[04:38] <katyl> cool ill get hunting- any suggestions of where to look other than ebay?
[04:38] <zenrox> tigerdirect.com / newegg.com
[04:38] <zykotick9> katyl, you're getting a bit offtopic with that question ;)
[04:38] <BentSpace> Can anyone hear me?  Using Xchat for first time, not sure if I got it set up right.
[04:38] <zykotick9> BentSpace, nope ;)
[04:38] <zenrox> BentSpace, tast passed
[04:39] <urlin2u> BentSpace, we see you what else do you need?
[04:39] <wankdanker_> BentSpace: you are very quiet, please turn up the gain
[04:39] <Fraak87> anyone know what the deal with the unity bar in 11.10 is? Mine acts ghetto, will not pop up when I goto the top right like it did in 11.04.. Does some other werid stuff can not remember..
[04:40] <BentSpace> wankdanker_,  HOW ABOUT NOW?
[04:40] <urlin2u> Fraak87, you can change the activation in the unity-plugin in compiz-configuration-manager
[04:40] <wankdanker_> BentSpace: lol. perfect!
[04:40] <pruebaefectos> jahshaka anyone knows the program and how I can download?
[04:40] <urlin2u> BentSpace, and turn off your web caM. :d
[04:40] <Fraak87> is that a GUI thing, or something done in command line..? Sorry, new to Linux.
[04:41] <boxbeatsy> hi, i'm trying to run the following line via command line 'echo "cd public_html\nmput -r /var/www/foldername" | ncftp -umy_un -pmy_pass domain.com > ftp.log 2>&1 &', but the only command being piped into ncftp is "cd ".  does anyone know what i'm doing wrong?
[04:41] <norway> ok i can access my windows network when i switch to ubuntu classic why cant i in 11.10 an how do you change your workgroup?  please help ty in advance
[04:41] <urlin2u> Fraak87, the compiz-configuration-manager is s gui that adjusts the window manager you need to install it.
[04:42] <urlin2u> s=a*
[04:42] <Fraak87> ahh. so apt-get install compiz-configuration-manager? thanks! I'll try that.
[04:42] <katyl> ha cheeky! anyway just one more non technically ubuntu thing to say then...
[04:42] <pruebaefectos> hi all
[04:43] <katyl> thanks for your help!
[04:43] <pruebaefectos> jahshaka anyone knows the program and how I can download?
[04:43] <urlin2u> Fraak87, apt-get install compiz-configuration-manager
[04:43] <urlin2u> Fraak87, inside is te unity-plugin I am assuming that you need to adjust the trigger point.
[04:43] <pruebaefectos> jahshaka anyone knows the program and how I can download?
[04:43] <Fraak87> ok. thanks.
[04:43] <HypothesisFrog> is there an ubuntu tablet version?
[04:44] <zykotick9> urlin2u, is that something different then compizconfig-settings-manager (ccsm)?
[04:44] <zykotick9> !repeat | pruebaefectos
[04:45] <urlin2u> zykotick9, no I wasn't sure if ccsm in the terminal brings that up, I went to precise.
[04:45] <bottiger> Is it possible to install gcc-4.3 on 11.10 ?
[04:45] <bottiger> and if yes - how?
[04:45] <BentSpace> How to find out what causes a crash?
[04:46] <pruebaefectos> jahshaka anyone knows the program and how I can download?
[04:46] <urlin2u> zykotick9, I'm running on debian right now i could not check exactly.
[04:46] <norway> zyko you always here please help ok i can access my windows network when i switch to ubuntu classic why cant i in 11.10 an how do you change your workgroup?  please help ty in advance
[04:46] <zykotick9> urlin2u, it's the same name in debian?
[04:47] <urlin2u> zykotick9, yeah your right, hehe I jus automatically install it without thinking.
[04:47] <zykotick9> norway, if that was to me - you're asking the wrong person.  I don't help with windows (in this case Samba) issues.  Good luck.
[04:47] <urlin2u> Fraak87, you get that apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
[04:48] <norway> k thanx
[04:48] <Flynn> I'm using ubuntu 10.10 desktop.  I'm trying to install a driver for my network card using "additional drivers."   It keeps giving me error "SystemError: installArchives() failed."
[04:49] <bobweaver> Flynn, what is the driver ?
[04:49] <Flynn> bobweaver, broadcom sta wireless driver
[04:50] <bobweaver> Flynn,  could we see a lspci -nn | grep 14e4
[04:50] <BentSpace> I thought linux was supposed to be way stable, what's with all the crashing?
[04:50] <bobweaver> Flynn, please open terminal and enter
[04:50] <noisewaterphd> BentSpace: user error?
[04:51] <zykotick9> BentSpace, ubuntu is not about stability - it's about cutting edge features ;)
[04:51] <bobweaver> Flynn, lspci -nn | grep 14e4
[04:51] <noisewaterphd> BentSpace: at least I know I usually cause my own problems
[04:51] <smw_> BentSpace, linux, the kernel, is stable.
[04:51] <urlin2u> BentSpace, it has always been for me maybe your setup=hardware or the install is broken,or you have tweaked something.
[04:51] <noisewaterphd> BentSpace: certain hardware can cause problems too
[04:51] <pnorman> Hardware problems suck.
[04:52] <Flynn> bobweaver, 01:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY [14e4:4315] (rev 01)
[04:52] <urlin2u> BentSpace, running a memory test from a live cd would be my first choice.
[04:53] <bobweaver> Flynn,  greaat job thanks
[04:53] <Flynn> bobweaver, ??
[04:54] <bobweaver> Flynn, I am putting togeather script for you
[04:55] <bobweaver> Flynn,  do you see the part that says                " LP-PHY [14e4:4315]"
[04:55] <Flynn> bobweaver, yeah.
[04:56] <bobweaver> Flynn, LP-PHY means that it is a low power card
[04:56] <bobweaver> Flynn, [14e4:4315] is model number
[04:56] <Flynn> bobweaver, ok that makes sense its a cheap netboook.
[04:57] <bobweaver> Flynn, so we look at this page    http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43
[04:57] <boxbeatsy> hi, i'm trying to run the following line via command line 'echo "cd public_html\nmput -r /var/www/foldername" | ncftp -umy_un -pmy_pass domain.com > ftp.log 2>&1 &', but the only command being piped into ncftp is "cd ".  does anyone know what's wrong with that command?
[04:57] <bobweaver> Flynn, 14e4:4315
[04:57] <bobweaver> 	
[04:57] <bobweaver> yes (2.6.33+)
[04:57] <zykotick9> boxbeatsy, as you've asked without an answer several times, i'd suggest asking in #bash - they'll probably know
[04:57] <bobweaver> Flynn,  in terminal   -> uname -a
[04:58] <s0nee> how do i determine which version of kernel is running ?
[04:58] <boxbeatsy> zykotick9: ok thanks!
[04:58] <zykotick9> s0nee, uname -r
[04:58] <pruebaefectos> jahshaka anyone knows the program and how I can download?
[04:58] <somsip> boxbeatsy: you tried using backticks instead of double quotes?
[04:58] <s0nee> zykotick9: works. thanks
[04:59] <Flynn> bobweaver, -: command not found
[04:59] <somsip> boxbeatsy: actually, shouldn't that be cp rather than cd?
[04:59] <bobweaver> Oo
[04:59] <bobweaver> Flynn,  uname -a
[05:00] <pruebaefectos> alguien conoce el  programa jahshaka ?

[05:01] <Toidi> Is it possible to make the menu bar not collapse/hide or be always on top?
[05:01] <bobweaver> Flynn, sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-lpphy-installer bcmwl-kernel-source
[05:02] <Fraak87> Anyone know about using VNC on ubuntu 10.10? I can sometimes get remote connections to work, and sometimes not. Fairly randomly by unchecking and checking the boxes under remote connection under settings... Searched the net, no real answers. Tried port forwarding the router, same exact results.
[05:02] <Fraak87> sorry, 11.10
[05:02] <Toidi> Oddly enough if I click on a menu item with an app on top it still accepts the input on the menu without showing me the actual menu
[05:03] <bobweaver> Flynn, also could we all see these commands
[05:04] <BentSpace> urlin2u, I ran a memory test before install and it passed.
[05:04] <bobweaver> Flynn,  rfkill list all ;lsmod ;

[05:06] <bobweaver> Flynn,  cool
[05:07] <jaysern> i'm on oneiric 11.10. Does apache2 handle php straight out of the box?
[05:07] <TheCowboy> BentSpace, if you tried 11.10 and really want to emphasize stability, you could go with 11.04
[05:07] <pnorman> BentSpace: I imagine it could make recovery more difficult, but I've not tried it myself
[05:07] <jaysern> apache2 tries to serve me up php files as a download application/x-httpd-php
[05:08] <bobweaver> Flynn,  you can open a new tab in the terminal by right clicking  it or the keys Shift+ctrl+t
[05:08] <pnorman> !lamp | jaysern
[05:09] <Flynn> bobweaver, ok you want to see all that?
[05:09] <venluckey> need help, lost sound in xubuntu 10.04

[05:09] <bobweaver> Flynn,  Yes but PLEASE use   paste.ubuntu.com
[05:10]  * phlak_user is standing by
[05:10] <BentSpace> Says I'm using 0 bytes of 0 bytes.
[05:10] <venluckey> anyone got ideas to fix sound?
[05:10] <flknefw> hey
[05:11] <phlak_user> !details | venluckey
[05:11] <flknefw> can i burn a macintosh disk image via linux?
[05:11] <aeon-ltd> venluckey: go to a terminal, type alsamixer
[05:11] <Flynn> http://paste.ubuntu.com/726967/
[05:11] <bobweaver> Flynn,  You are a ROCK STAR !!!
[05:12] <phlak_user> flknefw, sure, if its a raw image then you can just use a cd burner like brasero
[05:12] <flknefw> its a .dmg file
[05:12] <Flynn> bobweaver,  please don't patronize me.
[05:12] <bobweaver> Flynn,  sudo rmmod wl
[05:12] <venluckey> Hello I have xubuntu 10.04m Running on Dell 910, I have no sound and are updated.
[05:13] <flknefw> basically im trying to put osx back onto my macbook pro so i can make it a dual boot
[05:13] <venluckey> all sound bars are up, none muted
[05:13] <bobweaver> Flynn,  that is not my intentions
[05:13] <bobweaver> Flynn,  sudo modprobe b43
[05:14] <aeon-ltd> venluckey: did you recently use headphones?
[05:14] <bottiger> Is it possible to install gcc-4.3 on 11.10 ?
[05:14] <venluckey> nope
[05:14] <flknefw> so if i use brasero to burn a dmg file it will be bootable via mac?
[05:14] <Flynn> bobweaver,  ok
[05:14] <aeon-ltd> venluckey: tried multiple sources?
[05:14] <zykotick9> flknefw, i don't think you'll be successful in burning that dmg - good luck though
[05:14] <flknefw> why do you say that zyk?
[05:14] <bobweaver> Flynn, lsmod again please
[05:15] <bobweaver> Flynn, and rfkill list all
[05:15] <khem_> if I want to install Ubuntu but have a previous installation (archlinux), with ecryptfs for my /home folders, will ecryptfs work out of the box if I just keep that partition and dont reformat it?
[05:15] <zykotick9> flknefw, it's not a linux native format - my googling just turned up converting to ISOs (i certainly could be wrong)
[05:15] <venluckey> Yes, tied the realtek card, the alsa
[05:15] <flknefw> i dont want it to be an iso
[05:15] <flknefw> im using a macbook
[05:16] <zykotick9> flknefw, ya, i know - thus my origional statement ;)
[05:16] <flknefw> i paid 30 bucks for a osx 10.6.3 cd that doesnt even work because of firmware so i downloaded a newer version of osx
[05:16] <aeon-ltd> venluckey: i meant sources of sound, youtube, local media player, non-flash streams
[05:17] <flknefw> so you are saying brasero does NOT burn .dmg files like the other guy said?
[05:17] <BentSpace> Is it unity that causes stability problems?
[05:17] <zykotick9> flknefw, try and see
[05:18] <venluckey> no sound local, no sound in youtube, no sound in flash
[05:18] <zykotick9> BentSpace, unity has a lot of issues... but could be other things as well
[05:18] <Flynn> bobweaver, http://paste.ubuntu.com/726970/
[05:18] <aeon-ltd> venluckey: got another device that can test the speakers?
[05:19] <venluckey> speakers built tinto they laptop
[05:19] <bobweaver> Flynn,  rfkill list all
[05:19] <bobweaver> Flynn, just tell me if all no or all yes
[05:19] <zykotick9> flknefw, this poster converted to iso to burn with brasero http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=926410
[05:19] <aeon-ltd> venluckey: dualbooting?
[05:19] <KaosMcRage> hey all, on 64-bit Oneiric, I'm noticing some packages require a ton of dependencies with ":i386" after the package name - is this new in 11.10? I don't recall that in 11.04 and below.
[05:20] <appi_uppi> how to convert from text file to csv format?
[05:20] <Novae> does anyone know how to maximize a window over multiple monitors under openbox?
[05:20] <zykotick9> KaosMcRage, it's new - multiarch, it's from debian
[05:20] <venluckey> nope stright boot into xubunto 10.04
[05:20] <flknefw> i dont think its going to be bootable on a mac if its an ISO
[05:20] <aeon-ltd> venluckey: when was the last time it worked?
[05:20] <zykotick9> flknefw, me neither
[05:20] <KaosMcRage> zykotick9: okay, thanks - wasn't sure if I should install all those, smelled like conflict city to me
[05:20] <venluckey> about 1 week ago
[05:21] <flknefw> i wish companies would just hurry up and write everything to be compatible with linux
[05:21] <flknefw> i refuse to use crappy microsoft
[05:21] <Flynn> bobweaver, all no
[05:21] <zykotick9> KaosMcRage, actually, i saw an issue with multiarch last night in this channel (i was very disappointed)
[05:21] <bobweaver> Flynn,  you got wireless ?
[05:21] <venluckey> last time i rember i had to add something to a file that is read at boot up
[05:21] <Flynn> bobweaver, yes.
[05:21] <aeon-ltd> venluckey: what was it? were you following a guide?
[05:22] <flknefw> kinda says something when you're using a $2800 macbook pro with ONLY linux on it
[05:22] <bobweaver> Flynn, \0/
[05:22] <zykotick9> flknefw, microsoft is crappy, but apple is ok - i don't see a difference there ;)
[05:22] <escx> hiya all
[05:22] <KaosMcRage> zykotick9: :(
[05:22] <venluckey> yeah, but unable to find it again, i had to reinstall
[05:22] <Flynn> bobweaver, ??
[05:22] <windparadise> hello, pls which apache module is responsible for enabling subdomains, ?
[05:23] <_sivanov> i just installed 11.10 on intel fakeRAID, however, the computer does not boot (GRUB does not boot), do i need to install GRUB manually?
[05:23] <escx> Updated from 11.04 to 11.10, but still old kernel 2.8.36, cannot update to kernel 3.0, anybody have hints?
[05:23] <Flynn> bobweaver, additional driver applet froze on me though
[05:23] <aeon-ltd> venluckey: reinstall completely?
[05:23] <flknefw> zyk
[05:24] <flknefw> if i just use a command line in the terminal to burn a dmg file to output optical device as a dmg will it do it?
[05:24] <venluckey> yes, fresh install, now sound dont work, but i have 2 sound icons on top bar
[05:24] <bobweaver> oh flynn interminal       ps aux | grep jockey-gtk
[05:24] <bobweaver> oh flynn in terminal       ps aux | grep jockey-gtk
[05:24] <aeon-ltd> venluckey: is this the first boot?
[05:24] <jaysern> thanks pnorman.
[05:24] <venluckey> nope had it up and down for about a week
[05:24] <zykotick9> flknefw, i doubt it - it's not a gnu/linux native format, period.
[05:24] <bobweaver> Flynn,  what is the PID # ?
[05:24] <venluckey> like the 25th boot
[05:25] <escx> hello, how can i update from old kernel 2.8.36 to 3.0 in 11.10 ??
[05:25] <flknefw> i have a feeling its gonna be one of those nights i burn 30 dvds that are entirely useless.. fml
[05:25] <venluckey> i think what i need to do is start from square one
[05:25] <zykotick9> flknefw, probably... i'm afraid.
[05:26] <flknefw> youve never heard of any MAC Disk Utility for linux?
[05:26] <zykotick9> flknefw, have a friend with an apple?
[05:26] <flknefw> no man
[05:26] <flknefw> noone i know has an apple
[05:26] <aeon-ltd> venluckey: maybe, tried reinstalling alsa and pulseaudio?
[05:26] <flknefw> everyone has a pc..
[05:26] <venluckey> can do, hold on
[05:26] <flknefw> im the only one i know who even uses Linux
[05:26]  * zykotick9 thinks flknefw must have smart friends ;)
[05:26] <Flynn> bobweaver, http://paste.ubuntu.com/726974/
[05:26] <flknefw> smart.. or BROKE
[05:27] <bobweaver> Flynn,  sudo kill 1641
[05:27] <flknefw> i only have this for the hardware.. its definitly a nice laptop
[05:27] <flknefw> but apple really loves to annoy customers by messing up firmware
[05:28] <Flynn> bobweaver, thank you
[05:28] <bobweaver> Flynn,  you did great
[05:28] <bobweaver> Flynn,  you are using what ubuntu ?
[05:28] <flknefw> and from what ive been reading there is no way i can update my firmware via linux so i can just use an older version of osx
[05:28] <Flynn> bobweaver, 10.10
[05:29] <bobweaver> Flynn,  one more thing
[05:29] <bobweaver> Flynn,  sudo -i     then       echo b43 >> /etc/modules/               then         exit
[05:30] <linuxuz3r> when i click on the folder on my desktop all the folders that is opened suddenly closes
[05:30] <linuxuz3r> does anyone knows why
[05:31]  * KaosMcRage hates Unity.
[05:31] <zykotick9> linuxuz3r, not really an answer, but the explanation is Nautilus is crashing.  Why, I have no idea, would require a crystal ball.
[05:31] <flknefw> alright check this... if i cant create a bootable cd via linux with dmg files
[05:32] <flknefw> can i convert the dmg to an img to iso and install osx from WITHIN linux?
[05:32] <venluckey> brb, need reboot
[05:32] <linuxuz3r> upgrading my stuff
[05:32] <bobweaver>   O_o
[05:32] <bobweaver> !wodim
[05:35] <Flynn> got disconnected somehow
[05:36] <bobweaver> Flynn,  sudo -i     then       echo b43 >> /etc/modules/               then         exit
[05:37] <bobweaver> Flynn,  then reboot
[05:37] <judh> three broken packages on my system
[05:37] <bobweaver> judh,  what are the packages ?
[05:38] <judh> use broken filter to locate them ?
[05:38] <zykotick9> judh, from command line "sudo apt-get -f install" to try to auto-fix them
[05:38] <judh> leme try
[05:38] <judh> thanks for the suggestion
[05:39] <venluckey> ok, so reboot, no sound still, aplay -l shows i have the sound card
[05:39] <Flynn> bobweaver, OK thanx again, bye.

[05:40] <khem_> if I want to install Ubuntu but have a previous installation (archlinux), with ecryptfs for my /home folders, will ecryptfs work out of the box if I just keep that partition and dont reformat it?
[05:40] <ActionParsnip> judh: and also run:  sudo apt-get clean
[05:41] <bobweaver> venluckey,  please open terminal and enter   lspci  -nn     and paste for us to see please
[05:41] <zykotick9> khem_, FYI mixing your home folder settings from Arch "could" cause issues.
[05:41] <ActionParsnip> khem_: you will need to mess around with the encryptfs some. I only knw that. I don't use encryptfs, too many headaches

[05:42] <bobweaver> lol
[05:43] <venluckey> its all good, no harm done
[05:44] <ActionParsnip> Encryptfs options should have a little sidenote saying "Warning if you want to reinstall then you will have to do a LOT of messing around to get your data. Is it really worth it?"

[05:45] <judh> could you help me how to free up some space in my system parttion"
[05:46] <ActionParsnip> judh: remove old kernels
[05:46] <venluckey> well i tried to run aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav, but still have no sound
[05:46] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip, have you noticed, has tzdata been updated several times in ubuntu recently?
[05:46] <judh> where do i find the old kernel files

[05:46] <bobweaver> venluckey,  please open terminal and enter   lspci  -nn     and pastebin   it
[05:47] <judh> ActionParsnip: where do i find the old kernel files
[05:47] <mintsoup> Would someone mind taking a look at this? http://pastebin.com/aQxdPgPV I'm having some difficulty building a C and C++ project on Ubuntu 11.10; I'm not sure if I'm running into some issue with the libc6-dev package in 11.10 or if I'm hitting something else..
[05:47] <flknefw> is there a virtual machine for linux so i can install osx in it for the disk utility so i can burn that dmg file?
[05:47] <fatboy21007> is their any other program to make windows games run besides wine/winetricks and playonlinux?
[05:48] <naught101> I pluggen mu phone in to USB, and mounted the SD card as an external USB storage device, I then safely removed it, and unplugged the phone, but the drive still shows in the removable media widget and I still have /dev/sdb an /dev/sdb1 on my system. Anyone know what I need to do to remove those?
[05:48] <judh> ActionParsnip: have i had to clear the usr/var
[05:48] <venluckey> http://paste.ubuntu.com/726977/
[05:48] <zykotick9> flknefw, installing OSX into a VM is a violation of apple policy

[05:48] <aeon-ltd> fatboy21007: use a vm? but that would take insane processing power
[05:48] <ActionParsnip> judh: they are installed using packages, so if you remove the excess packages it will remove the files

[05:48] <flknefw> me getting robbed of 30 bucks by apple is against my policy
[05:48] <ActionParsnip> judh: you don't remove them manually, it will break things
[05:49] <rockband> hi all, anyone wants to help me fix my DNS error
[05:49] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: not hugely, I kinda have updates to autorun every few hours so its all in the background for me
[05:49] <zykotick9> fatboy21007, there is a proprietary alternative crossover-games (or similar name), no idea how it compares
[05:49] <venluckey> should i try to reinstall restriced modules?
[05:49] <bobweaver> venluckey,   what ubuntu is this ?
[05:49] <naught101> it appears to be screwing up my upgrade process (grub config is hanging)
[05:49] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip, just curious - as it seems to be a common in debian-stable the last couple of weeks
[05:50] <mebigfatguy> anyone have a link to doing what 'main menu' does manually, as it's currently busted? Trying to add app to launcher that ubuntu doesn't know about (yet).
[05:50] <judh> ActionParsnip: then how could i remove them without any breakage?
[05:50] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: it runs this: http://pastebin.com/unWfhXWq
[05:50] <venluckey> its xubuntu 10.04
[05:51] <ActionParsnip> judh: if you run:  uname -a   you will see the CURRENT kernel. if you run:  dpkg -l | grep linux-image-      you will see the INSTALLED kernels. You can remove any installed kernel but NOT the RUNNING kernel. Yuo will get about 120Mb per kernel
[05:51] <bobweaver> venluckey,  ActionParsnip  wrote this look at post #3      https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+question/156210
[05:52] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip, very nice.  certainly more thorough then my "aptitude safe-upgrade" ;)
[05:52] <ActionParsnip> judh: there are countless guides on how to do this stuff
[05:52] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: I like apt-fast ;)
[05:52] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: plus if I run the script and pass it r or s as an arg it will restart or shutdown after the updates
[05:53]  * zykotick9 goes to research what apt-fast even is 
[05:53] <bobweaver> venluckey,  I would also study my alsa file
[05:53]  * ActionParsnip thinks apt-fast should be default
[05:53] <bobweaver> ActionParsnip,  alais to the rescue  ?
[05:54] <flknefw> will i be able to burn a disk using virtualbox ?
[05:54] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcREvLe_zecZphUozMTFDJx7aiBEUS6GPsWNX5VRleB85BBKF75rCWinG1BldQ   imagine if apt-get grabbed debs from 3 places :)
[05:55] <ActionParsnip> bobweaver: there was a script to make software centre and such use it too but I don't use that thing now
[05:55] <bobweaver> cO_o|
[05:55] <bobweaver> ActionParsnip, like adept ?
[05:55]  * bobweaver is off to google 
[05:55] <ActionParsnip> bobweaver: I've not used adept
[05:56] <venluckey> brb, have to reboot

[05:56] <bobweaver> ActionParsnip,  good if you use kde and gnome at same time
[05:56] <ActionParsnip> judh: ok and what is the output of:  uname -a
[05:57] <judh> Linux judhistir-desktop 2.6.32-34-generic #77-Ubuntu SMP Tue Sep 13 19:40:53 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux
[05:57] <ActionParsnip> bobweaver: I use KDE on one rig and LXDE on another, the others are X-less :)
[05:58] <ActionParsnip> judh: then run:  sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-image-2.6.32-21-generic            I suggest you reboot so that the newest kernel is loaded. I'm guessing your uptime is quite large
[05:59] <ActionParsnip> judh: once the 32-26 kernel is running, you can remove the other 2 kernels and get even more space
[06:00] <bobweaver> I have a awk question     ps aux |awk '/bash/'  {print2}       <-- what is wrong I am trying to only output the PID #
[06:00] <ActionParsnip> bobweaver: why not use pidof ?
[06:01] <bobweaver> ActionParsnip,  trying to learn and use awk more
[06:01] <bobweaver> nore about learning then purpose
[06:01] <ActionParsnip> bobweaver: gotcha, let me try
[06:02] <npat> bobweaver, you should have said: ps aux | awk  '/bash/  {print $2}'
[06:02] <bobweaver> npat,  SWEET
[06:02] <bobweaver> it was the $ before and the placement of ''
[06:03] <ActionParsnip> bobweaver: ps -ef | grep bash | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}'      works here
[06:03] <pipalo>  I use 'ps -A | grep PIDHERE'. any better way to do ?
[06:03] <npat> bobweaver, yes and a space after the "print"
[06:03] <judh> just rebooting the system....once i get back I will discuss with you soon
[06:03] <pipalo> How you get Process name by PID ?
[06:03] <bobweaver> npat,  ActionParsnip  thanks you guys are AWESOME
[06:04] <ActionParsnip> bobweaver: the grep -v grep  is so that the grep itself doesn't show a PID
[06:05] <bobweaver> ActionParsnip,  I see
[06:06]  * bobweaver is in a love triangle with sed and awk :>) 
[06:07] <pipalo> I know its annoying to ask again and again, but I think my question just got lost in that convo.
[06:07] <pipalo> How can I get the process name by PID ?
[06:07] <ActionParsnip> bobweaver: try it.  ps -ef | grep bash     see how the grep itself shows and also has a pid
[06:07] <pipalo> I am using 'ps -A | grep PIDHERE' but I am sure there must be a better way.
[06:08] <bobweaver> pipalo,  funny we are talking about that
[06:09] <bobweaver> pipalo,     ps aux | awk '/NAMEHERE/  {print $2}
[06:09] <bobweaver> pipalo,     ps aux | awk '/NAMEHERE/  {print $2}'
[06:09] <pipalo> bobweaver: haha, odd. when killing defunc process sometimes you just want to know what is the parrent before killing it !
[06:09] <whatsaHacker> Has anybody been having problems with wireless on ubuntu 11.10 ...i keep having to uninstall bcmwl-kernel-source and reinstall with reboot
[06:09] <_sivanov> i just installed 11.10, dont need GUI, how to disable graphical logon?
[06:10] <ActionParsnip> pipalo: ps -ef | grep 2126 | grep -v grep | awk '{print $8}'
[06:10] <ActionParsnip> pipalo: obv change 2126 to the PID you want
[06:10] <ultrixx> _sivanov: why do you want to work without gui?
[06:10] <pipalo> ActionParsnip:looks good, will give it a try
[06:11] <_sivanov> ultrixx, its for bitcoin mining/iscsi server for other miners
[06:12] <ultrixx> _sivanov: don't you need an x-server for bitcoin mining?
[06:12] <ultrixx> i mean an x-server actually running
[06:12] <_sivanov> running just just /usr/bin/X is ok
[06:12] <zykotick9> _sivanov, prior to 11.10, you could move the gdm file in /etc/init/ to a gdm.disabled - not sure if the same would work for lightdm
[06:13] <judh> i run: sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-image-2.6.32-21-generic
[06:13] <bobweaver> /etc/init.d/ zykotick9  ??
[06:13] <npat> pipalo: cat /proc/<PIDHERE>
[06:13] <_sivanov> zykotick9, my current miners rinning 11.04 are set up like you said
[06:13] <zykotick9> bobweaver, NO!!!

[06:14] <npat> pipalo, but don't really do this. better go with ps / grep / awk etc
[06:15] <judh> ActionParsnip: i get that above message
[06:15] <pipalo> npat: looks cool, but why not ?
[06:15] <ActionParsnip> judh: try:  sudo apt-get -f install      as it says
[06:15] <npat> too system specific. with ps you have a chance of it working on something that is not linux
[06:16] <pipalo> npat: makes sense, cheers man.

[06:18] <npat> bobweaver, wait
[06:19] <hashbrowncipher> I tried doing drop_caches, but nothing happens to the amount of memory cached.  Is there something that would give the kernel an undue affection for 1.7GB of cached mem?

[06:20] <bobweaver> npat I see pipe it in there

[06:26] <mint> hi all, wondering if anyone has had this problem before, i updated my system rebooted and it goes to the black screen of death, coudn't get to grub, also couldnt' boot a live cd after selecting in the boot menu until i removed my hard drive so now i'm sitting in a linux mint live cd (only one i had at work) and i've tried to run boot-repair several times but it hasn't done the trick
[06:26] <npat> bobweaver, i guess... assuming that there's greatness in having an ascii-art cow recite shell pid numbers (smth quite dubious)
[06:26] <flknefw> redownload and burn a new cd
[06:26] <zykotick9> !mint | mint
[06:26] <bobweaver> loil
[06:26] <mint> after i reinstall the hard-drive and reboot still goes back to a blinking cursor on the black screen
[06:27] <bobweaver> npat,  ps aux |awk '/bash/ {print $2}' | cowsay -f vader
[06:27] <flknefw> mint they are gonna give u crap in here cuz this is an ubuntu forum
[06:27] <pipalo> thanks for help everyone
[06:27] <flknefw> ur using linix mint
[06:27] <flknefw> just go to linuxmint.com and download mint 11 with gnome.. burn to a dvd and re-install u should be good
[06:28] <flknefw> u can also use the linux pendrive utility
[06:28] <Doyle> mint, boot to live cd, go to /boot/grub/ and see if you have a grub.cfg backup file. If you do, restore it by renaming it to grub.cfg.
[06:28] <ActionParsnip> mint support in the mint channel only please
[06:29] <flknefw> by default he wouldve ended up on the mint server
[06:29] <flknefw> hence his nickname being mint

[06:30] <mint> i have ubuntu installed, just don't have access to a ubuntu live cd
[06:30] <zykotick9> judh, your /usr at 4GB is the issue i think
[06:30] <ActionParsnip> judh: looks ok, run:  sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
[06:30] <somsip> mint: just wanted to clarify as others are pushing you towards mint and I didn't think they should
[06:31] <ActionParsnip> judh: all you had to do was copy the text
[06:31] <flknefw> yeah mint is terrible because it works so good
[06:31] <mint> thanks i'm just running a mint live cd right now as i can't boot into ubuntu

[06:31] <venluckey> Dear bobweaver, taking your advice i looked at my alsa-base conf file, and i had no entry for my sound card so i added one and BOOM I have sound, Thnaks to all who helped
[06:31] <flknefw> 10.10 = exactly why youd rather have ubuntu
[06:31] <bobweaver> mint,  sudo fdisk -l

[06:38] <mint> anybody have any ideas, trying not to reinstall as it's my work computer
[06:38] <costre_> yay, my laptop's stopped overheating! The heatsink on the GPU needed a firm push back into place. Im ashamed I ever blamed ubuntu's graphics drivers for the problem :)
[06:38] <flknefw> mint
[06:38] <flknefw> they made it clear
[06:38] <Doyle> grub2 is annoying. Every update I have to reapply my changes.
[06:38] <flknefw> itll take you 15 mins to re-install ubuntu
[06:39] <zykotick9> Doyle, are you editing grub.cfg?
[06:39] <flknefw> your grub isnt working according to you
[06:39] <flknefw> so i suggest you just take the easy route and burn a new cd or usb drive and boot off of it
[06:39] <mint> ok
[06:39] <mint> thanks
[06:39] <flknefw> good chance it was a bad install
[06:39] <flknefw> its happened to me in the past more than once
[06:40] <mint> it was an update
[06:40] <smw_> Doyle, I suggest you look at /etc/grub.d/40_custom
[06:40] <Doyle> thanks smw_
[06:41] <mint> thanks flknewfw
[06:41] <gbear14275> Backup location ‘/https:/one.ubuntu.com/api/file_storage/v1/volumes/~/deja-dup/pencil’ does not exist.
[06:41] <gbear14275> Anyone seen an error like that yet?  Tried to google but didn't see much
[06:42] <zykotick9> gbear14275, is it just http:// that you need to fix?
[06:42] <judh> zykotick9:  what should i have to do next and see my screenshot after sudo apt-get -f install : http://imagebin.org/182216
[06:42] <gbear14275> zykotick9, Thats an error output from the new backup client in oneric.  I pushed "backup now" and I got that
[06:42] <zykotick9> judh, your /usr is full - that's your problem
[06:43] <zykotick9> gbear14275, interesting - but that does appear like a typo for the URL
[06:43] <judh> zykotick9: how to remove some files without any breakage to the system
[06:43] <zykotick9> judh, ? good luck
[06:44] <gbear14275> zykotick9, I don't think so.  I don't think you'd want your backup data going over a clear line
[06:44] <smw_> judh, the only way is to uninstall programs.
[06:44] <zykotick9> gbear14275, i mean https://
[06:44] <smw_> judh, or check out if /usr/local is too big
[06:45] <zykotick9> gbear14275, vs "/https:/one..."
[06:45] <gbear14275> zykotick9, ah, yeah, I wonder if that is just an error message thing... not sure
[06:46] <zachera> wow
[06:46] <zachera> upgrading to 11.10...
[06:46] <zachera> this is pathetic.. unity and all..
[06:46] <zykotick9> judh, having /usr so small is going to lead to BIG issues come upgrade time (already you've maxed it out).  You should consider making it bigger.  This is why a single / is easier for most people.
[06:46] <zachera> can't even access 'advanced settings'
[06:46] <zachera> gnome classic looks terrible, can't even modify panels or anything..
[06:47] <zykotick9> zachera, do you have a support question?
[06:47] <zachera> how do i remove all this crap on 11.10
[06:48] <ActionParsnip> zachera: install xfce4 and use xfce, looks and smells like gnome2
[06:48] <zachera> yeah i think i'm gonna do that :P
[06:48] <zachera> thanks
[06:48] <zachera> xubuntu, right?
[06:48] <bobweaver> !purexfce
[06:48] <flknefw> mm purple kool aid
[06:49] <pnorman> Maintiaining multiple partitions for /, /usr, /, etc is a pain. My view is that unless you have multiple drives, it's not worth the bother
[06:50] <ActionParsnip> zachera: No, just a new desktop, you can use the same gnome apps in XFCE
[06:50] <zykotick9> zachera, installing the xubuntu-desktop should take care of it on ubuntu
[06:51] <zachera> ok
[06:51] <ActionParsnip> pnorman: if you use SSD drives its good to put /var and /tmp on a platter based drive to reduce wear
[06:51] <zachera> thanks
[06:51] <smw_> pnorman, it is a good idea for servers or computers with multiple drives.
[06:53] <gbear14275> zykotick9, I logged into my ubuntu one account a few times and then tried the backup... seemed to work from there.  Looked like there were some authentication problems
[06:53] <ActionParsnip> also moving internet browser cache to tmpfs is a great way to speed up the browser and use your drive less as well (if you have enough RAM to do so)
[06:54] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: did you like apt-fast
[06:54] <flknefw> anyone in here good with virtual box?
[06:54] <smw_> !anyone | flknefw
[06:54] <smw_> ActionParsnip, that is a great idea :-)
[06:54] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip, looks like a neat script - not something i'll be using though
[06:54] <Shirakawasuna> flknefw: I don't know what 'good' means, but I can get it barely working
[06:54] <ActionParsnip> zacharydenton: xfce4 wil give a bare xfce desktop, xubuntu-desktop will install lots of apps that come with xfce which you already have the functionality of ;)
[06:54] <Shirakawasuna> does that count?
[06:54] <Doyle> flknefw: what you ant to know?
[06:55] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: fair play
[06:55] <flknefw> well im trying to run osx in it on here and it just keeps saying "still waiting for root device"
[06:55] <ActionParsnip> flknefw: does the license permit virtualization?
[06:55] <Shirakawasuna> zacharydenton: I recommend xubuntu as a gnome 2 + ubuntu replacement. It's very similar in feel with all the ubuntu stuff
[06:56] <zykotick9> flknefw, it's not going to work - and it's certainly not supported in #vbox (i'd recommend against asking there, they don't approve of violating apples licenses)
[06:56] <flknefw> its not going to work yet it works for everyone else?
[06:56] <flknefw> dont gimme stupid answers
[06:56] <ActionParsnip> interesting http://thetechjournal.com/electronics/computer/software/mac-software-computer/mac-os-x-lion-allows-license-free-virtualization.xhtml
[06:57] <Shirakawasuna> zacharydenton: install xubuntu-desktop (sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop), then get everything set up how you like in the session (log out, set default to xfce, etc).
[06:57] <Shirakawasuna> zacharydenton: once everything is good, you can then remove ubuntu-desktop, which includes all the unity stuff you no longer need. Then autoremove
[06:57] <zykotick9> flknefw, wow, you're right.  looks like the new version of vbox can run OSX.  sorry for the bad info.
[06:58] <Shirakawasuna> err
[06:58] <Shirakawasuna> lol I failed there
[06:58] <ActionParsnip> flknefw: seems its ok with the license. Is the CD you have ok? Is there a checker on the CD at all?
[06:58] <flknefw> first of all  there is no osx lion cds
[06:58] <flknefw> its download only
[06:59] <Doyle> flknefw: y ou set the iso up in the instance settings, right?
[06:59] <flknefw> 2nd  all the prior versions of osx  dont need to allow it to be run for them to work
[06:59] <Doyle> flknefw: you also have to setup the boot order if I remember correctly.
[06:59] <Doyle> if you do those 2 things, it should work.
[07:00] <flknefw> actually i know why it might not work
[07:00] <flknefw> efi is enabled
[07:01] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip, "The end user license agreement of Mac OS X does not permit the operating system to run on non-Apple hardware"
[07:02] <dr_willis> that artical mentions that also.. sort of..
[07:02] <ActionParsnip> flknefw: its not download only, you can get it in apple stores on USB stick for 70 USD
[07:02] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip, but flknefw does have apple hardware, just not sure it's been used for the vbox
[07:02] <dr_willis> in vms on osx
[07:03] <flknefw> you wont find it at apple stores
[07:03] <ActionParsnip> flknefw: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Os_x_lion
[07:03] <ActionParsnip> flknefw: your witnes
[07:03] <flknefw> just like you wont find a copy of osx snow leaopard at apple stores
[07:03] <flknefw> you gotta buy it online
[07:03] <flknefw> idc what that says
[07:03] <flknefw> go to any apple store around your home
[07:04] <sethek> morgen
[07:04] <Doyle> flknefw: you've selected a 64bit OS when setting up the instance, right?
[07:05] <ActionParsnip> flknefw: I don't go ni those places. They always try and tell me their overpriced hardware is awesome
[07:05] <flknefw> no clue man
[07:05] <flknefw> im not familair with virtual box
[07:05] <Shirakawasuna> they do have some very pretty hardware
[07:05] <zykotick9> Shirakawasuna, looks are only skin deep ;)
[07:06] <Shirakawasuna> I have to admit that my thinkpad is ugly as sin. Anti-theft protection, it looks like it's from 1995.
[07:06] <gunztunz> how do i get rid of upstart in ubuntu and replace it with something saner?
[07:06] <Doyle> flknefw: google "efi virtualbox" there have been several people running down this issue in the forums.
[07:07] <ActionParsnip> flknefw: tried VMWare too?
[07:07] <zykotick9> gunztunz, you must be joking.  That would require re-writing the distro, more or less.  If you don't wan't upstart, use another distro.
[07:08] <gunztunz> zykotick9: at my fucking job they forced ubuntu on us as an embedded distro. it's being ruining my life
[07:08] <gunztunz> fucking retards
[07:08] <iceroot> gunztunz: stop it
[07:09] <gunztunz> i am not saying anything bad about ubuntu
[07:09] <gunztunz> sorry for my language
[07:09] <Doyle> hahaha, your life will conform to the popular vote
[07:09] <gunztunz> but you can just imagine from the fact that i have been working on an embedded system built on top of a desktop distro how frustrated i must be
[07:10] <iceroot> gunztunz: thats not the fault of ubuntu or any other distro
[07:10] <gunztunz> i have never said that
[07:10] <gunztunz> it's the fault of a braindead choice
[07:11] <gunztunz> do you think i can put some other init, given we have no real upstart conf files but just invoke a bash script from there?
[07:11] <iceroot> gunztunz: sure you can but that is not a good/clean solution i think
[07:12] <gunztunz> or is there a *quick* way of having upstart throw some debugging info instead of hanging there without printing anything?
[07:12] <gunztunz> i can assure nothing is clean in this stuff
[07:12] <iceroot> gunztunz: there was a bug for that
[07:12] <iceroot> gunztunz: let me have a look
[07:12] <gunztunz> thank you iceroot
[07:12] <flknefw> im doing exactly what this guy is doing in this tutorial
[07:13] <flknefw> and it just says no bootable medium found! system halted
[07:13] <ActionParsnip> flknefw: did you download the ISO or whatever it is?
[07:13] <flknefw> dmg file yes
[07:13] <ActionParsnip> flknefw: did you MD5 test it as ok (assuming MD5 sum is available)
[07:14] <ActionParsnip> flknefw: can virtualbox boot dmg?
[07:14] <whatsaHacker> I'm trying to ndiswapper....when i run sudo modprobe ndiswrapper i get: WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, it will be ignored in a future release.
[07:14] <whatsaHacker> ^What does that mean?
[07:14] <iceroot> gunztunz: hm at the morning my search-foo is very bad but i am 100% sure there is a bug for exactly that issue
[07:15] <ActionParsnip> flknefw: http://www.sysprobs.com/video-create-bootable-lion-os-iso-file-dmg   seems you need to convert it into an ISO
[07:15] <iceroot> gunztunz: and if i am correct it was the result that it would be fixed in 12.04
[07:15] <gunztunz> i think we are in 10.01
[07:15] <gunztunz> :(
[07:15] <iceroot> gunztunz: or better, it would be checked to integrate that feature in 12.04
[07:15] <zykotick9> flknefw, ActionParsnip according to https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/6760 vbox 4 has dmg support
[07:15] <iceroot> gunztunz: 10.04 is (imo) not using upstart
[07:15] <iceroot> !upstart
[07:15] <ActionParsnip> whatsaHacker: you need to rename /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist   so that it has a .conf extension. There is already a blacklist.conf in there so I suggest you run: sudo mv /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist /etc/modprobe.d/myblacklist.conf
[07:16] <iceroot> gunztunz: or a misc between both methods
[07:16] <zykotick9> iceroot, i seem to remember lucid as being the first that used upstart (i could be wrong)
[07:16] <ActionParsnip> whatsaHacker: all the files in that folder need a .conf extension for some reason or they get ignored
[07:16] <gunztunz> iceroot: are you talking about this? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/ifupdown/+bug/497299
[07:16] <iceroot> zykotick9: it was in there but i dont know if everything was changed completly to 10.04
[07:16] <whatsaHacker> Thank you
[07:17] <BostonBruh> accidently shut my machine down
[07:17] <BostonBruh> back to the virtual machine issue
[07:17] <iceroot> gunztunz: hm, i know i was adding me as a affected person (but the search is not showing it under my bugs) that is not the bug i mean
[07:18] <BostonBruh> kk how do i get this thing working
[07:19] <iceroot> gunztunz: launchpad is down now :(
[07:19] <gunztunz> that link is opening for me
[07:19] <iceroot> gunztunz: but the topic was a debug-system for upstart
[07:19] <gunztunz> or you mean the search is down?
[07:19] <iceroot> gunztunz: search is giving me timeouts atm
[07:20] <gunztunz> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/474792 ?
[07:20] <gunztunz> is there a way to modify upstart scripts so as to echo something directly to the console?
[07:21] <BostonBruh> ugh the one dude who was gonna help me is gone isnt he
[07:23] <iceroot> gunztunz: yes that should be possible now, the bug i mean was a default-debug-system for upstart and controlling on failed events
[07:23] <BostonBruh> if i have Enable EFI special OSes only checked virtual box will atleast load up
[07:23] <iceroot> gunztunz: e.g. apparmor should be using upstart at the moment and its spawning my tty1 completly with error-messages, so using tty1 should be possible for other scripts too
[07:23] <BostonBruh> but fails to find boot device
[07:24] <GeorgeJ> Hello folks. I've got a fresh instalation of Ubuntu 11.10 on my Asus 5750G. I'm trying to dim the screen's brightness, Fn+Left/Right gets recognized by the OS, but the brightness does not change. `ls /sys/class/backlight/` outputs "acpi_video0  intel_backlight", changeing the brightness of intel_backlight works, but for acpi_video0 it does not. How can I tell Ubuntu which card to set the brightness for?
[07:24] <BostonBruh> just keeps saying "still waiting"
[07:24] <BostonBruh> if i have it unchecked . it just doesnt work at all
[07:26] <s0nee> i have a process called "upowerd" using 100% cpu and i cant kill it using whatever pkill, kill, killall -9. ideas ?
[07:26] <Nikki__> Hi!
[07:26] <gunztunz> iceroot: ?
[07:26] <Starminn> I keep getting "unhandled lockdown error (-5)" when I try to mount a device. What is this and how can I fix it?
[07:26] <gunztunz> where can i see the upstart conf file for apparmor?
[07:27] <iceroot> gunztunz: your issue is that upstart is not showing the status at boot? or that your scripts are not able to write to the shell at boot?
[07:27] <magocite> 8
[07:27] <gunztunz> upstart not showing the status at boot
[07:27] <gunztunz> the last thing i see is kernel freed 200kB memory
[07:27] <gunztunz> which is the same as with our system image that works
[07:27] <iceroot> gunztunz: ok, to change that there is the bug i mentioned (and not found at the moment)
[07:27] <gunztunz> when things work the next thing is the login prompt
[07:28] <gunztunz> i see :(
[07:28] <gunztunz> but anyways not in our old version of ubuntu
[07:29] <iceroot> gunztunz: yes, that would be a fix for 11.10 or 12.04 (maybe a backport is possible)
[07:29] <iceroot> gunztunz: maybe #ubuntu-devel is better for that
[07:30] <Nikki__> I can't hear the login Sound. In the Terminal I see >>Failed to play sound: File or data not found<<
[07:30] <BostonBruh> ugh wth
[07:30] <BostonBruh> spent how many hours on this
[07:30] <Nikki__> The command is: /usr/bin/canberra-gtk-play --id="desktop-login" --description="GNOME Login"
[07:30] <BostonBruh> and of course virtual box wont work for me
[07:35] <heoyea> yawn
[07:35] <Stava> Since I upgraded ubuntu to 11.10, xchats system tray icon is gone. Do you know what might be the cause of this?
[07:36] <zykotick9> s0nee, did you try "sudo killall upowerd"?
[07:36] <Stava> Or rather, how do I fix it
[07:36] <semitones> Stava: yeah, it's not supported by unity
[07:36] <calamity> mine is...
[07:36] <s0nee> zykotick9: im tried logging in as root
[07:36] <calamity> I am on xchat with a unity icon right now
[07:36] <zetui> hello
[07:36] <owner> someone help me with virtual box
[07:36] <heoyea> nop
[07:37] <zetui> i would like to understand what this command do :
[07:37] <semitones> i thought unity used a different sytsem for ntoificiations
[07:37] <zetui> tar -C /overlay -cvf - . | tar -C /mnt/sda1 -xf -
[07:37] <Stava> calamity, Did it just work out of the box for you? I've tried reinstalling to no avail :(
[07:37] <Guest18987> hy
[07:37] <Guest18987> anyone playing cs?
[07:38] <s0nee> zykotick9: ok nvm. i found a workaround. but it was interesting that i couldnt kill it no matter what i tried ...
[07:38] <heoyea> gnome chess only
[07:39] <zykotick9> s0nee, my guess would be that udev would just keep spawning it
[07:39] <calamity> stava - yes this is a brand new install
[07:40] <calamity> Apologies to anyone who has been here all day, but I've still found no real solution.
[07:40] <heoyea> ?
[07:40] <s0nee> zykotick9: idk but it didnt even disappear from 'top'. its not a zombie process. the parent is init so of course there was no way i could kill init ...
[07:40] <calamity> I have windows 7 and ubuntu side by side and windows 7 will not boot from grub
[07:40] <Stava> How do I know if i have "plain xchat" or "xchat gnome"? I'm reading step 3 of the first answer here http://askubuntu.com/questions/45793/xchat-disappearing-after-minimize-to-tray
[07:40] <Guest18987> www.cs-pl.com
[07:40] <Guest18987> www.cs-pgl.com
[07:41] <owner> why wont virtualbox on linux work!

[07:41] <Guest18987> fesfe
[07:41] <heoyea> calamity: boot into Ubuntu and run sudo update-grub
[07:42] <Stava> I installed "xchat-indicator", it works and it's awesome :)
[07:42] <gunztunz> thanks iceroot
[07:42] <calamity> heoyea, alright, reboot now?
[07:43] <heoyea> calamity: sure

[07:52] <Starminn> I keep getting "unhandled lockdown error (-5)" when I try to mount a device. What is this and how can I fix it?
[07:53] <Yeahhhhhhh> ubuntu off tiopic didnt help

[07:54] <Kapoeira> Hmmm ... i just installed libcurl with sudo apt-get install php-curl ... but apt gives me a list of packets « that have been automatically installed and are no longer necessary » .... Is it really SAFE to remove them ?
[07:54] <virtualint> alt+f2 does not run
[07:54] <jussi> Kapoeira: just leave them imho
[07:54] <Yeahhhhhhh> ubuntu people really are the most unhelpful people in the world
[07:54] <Kapoeira> Those are python packets for the most
[07:55] <heoyea> Yeahhhhhhh: u came to the right place then
[07:55] <dr_willis> !info apt-mirror
[07:55] <soreau> Kapoeira: You can remove them with apt-get autoremove. If it removes anything you happened to need, you can simply reinstall the package
[07:55] <soreau> Kapoeira: Typically it's always safe to remove them
[07:56] <xerzaz> what's the easiest way to install wine on a box?
[07:56] <soreau> xerzaz: If the wine came in a box, you're already done
[07:56] <dr_willis> apt-get indtall wine
[07:56] <xerzaz> soreau: I'm not sure if it did
[07:57] <xerzaz> ok thx I'll check
[07:57] <dr_willis> !wine

[07:59] <xerzaz> :/
[07:59] <soreau> xerzaz: Well then you need to add your user to the sudoers file
[07:59] <dr_willis> no you were not root.  :-)

[08:07] <dr_willis> !info gparted
[08:07] <heoyea> pixolin: think is called notify-osd
[08:08] <phil93> yup, notify-osd manages those notifications
[08:08] <pixolin> heoyea: do you know by chance if I can change the settings to shorten the time it displays messages?
[08:08] <rockband> hi guys, im having dns issues. server not found..can someone direct me to a path or guide to find why its causing this
[08:08] <pixolin> don't want to disable it but it's somewhat annoying if it shows up too long
[08:08] <heoyea> pixolin: i believe there was a tool to customize it, if u google a bit on that
[08:09] <_sivanov> installed ubuntu to fakeRAID, booted few times, then powered off machine, then it hang during the boot, on next boot after grub menu it shows only blinking cursor
[08:10] <pixolin> heoyea: thanks anyway, will google for that
[08:10] <MeanEYE> In 11.04 when installed apache followed symlinks without problem. In 11.10 although option is turned on it still complains that I don't have enough permissions.
[08:10] <_sivanov> failsafe mode boot also fails, it complains about uncompression error and panics
[08:11] <Malgorath> anyone know a good tutorial for setting up a secure authenticating smtp server?
[08:11] <heoyea> nop
[08:11] <tonyyarusso> rockband: First, what do you have set as your DNS server?  Clicking the network manager and selecting "Connection Information" will tell you.
[08:11] <tonyyarusso> Malgorath: "The Book of Postfix"
[08:12] <tonyyarusso> Malgorath: also https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/postfix.html
[08:12] <rockband> sorry, im on ssh
[08:12] <jasef> :/ I'm having a problem with my ~/.ssh/config, it's giving me an error when I try to use SSH now, if I pastebin the error and the scripts involved, would someone be able to help maybe?
[08:12] <rockband> installed bind9
[08:12] <heoyea> nop
[08:12] <Malgorath> thanks tonyyarusso
[08:12] <tonyyarusso> rockband: so you're trying to diagnose your own BIND configuration, not a client using it?
[08:13] <tonyyarusso> rockband: do you have forwarding addresses defined?
[08:13] <rockband> i think thats where the issue is..i spent a few hours and no luck
[08:14] <tonyyarusso> rockband: is the failing lookup for a domain hosted on your server or not?
[08:14] <ubuntu> how do i like boot in rescue mode?
[08:14] <Malgorath> tonyyarusso, i'm wanting to setup an outgoing only mail server(dreamhost smtp craps out ALOT) is there away to setup that? Like i'd have smtp.mydomain.com?
[08:14] <rockband> yes
[08:14] <tonyyarusso> ubuntu: Do you want to know how to like boot, or actually boot?
[08:15] <heoyea> boots with the fur
[08:15] <tonyyarusso> Malgorath: Yes - it's all in the book and in the online docs.
[08:15] <tonyyarusso> rockband: What's in your forwarders section, likely in named.conf.options?
[08:15] <tonyyarusso> bah, ignore that
[08:16] <Malgorath> okay i'll google around on setting up smtp only
[08:16] <tonyyarusso> rockband: can you pastebin the configs relevant to that zone?
[08:16] <ubuntu> boot in "rescue mode"
[08:16] <rockband> ok,one sec
[08:17] <tonyyarusso> rockband: Actually, are you sure you're even configured to ask the right machine?  It might be worth specifying localhost and the DNS server for the host lookup your testing.
[08:17] <Jordan_U> ubuntu: What is your end goal? (also, it would be easier to follow conversations with you if you changed your nick to something other than "ubuntu").
[08:17] <tonyyarusso> ubuntu: it should be an option on your grub menu during the boot sequence - just arrow down to it.
[08:17] <heoyea> lols
[08:17] <rockband> i have specified both, also specified forwarder, ip:..
[08:18] <comp83276> it just stopped booting for some reason.
[08:19] <comp83276> then i have to reinstall all over
[08:19] <html> hi
[08:20] <evan_> hello all
[08:21] <evan_> my speakers don't mute when i plug in my headphones, but the headphones work. Any fixes?
[08:22] <theadmin> html, evan_: Hello, and, again, welcome to the Aperture Science computer-aided... errr... Ubuntu support channel.
[08:22] <comp83276> so there is not something similar to "rescue mode" in ubuntu?
[08:22] <theadmin> evan_: Mute your speakers manually? I mean, hey, it's not that big of a deal.
[08:22] <theadmin> comp83276: There is the "recovery mode" in the boot menu, that not good enough?
[08:22] <comp83276> or "fix a broken boot" type of thing?
[08:22] <evan_> well its on a laptop, so muting my speakers all sound
[08:23] <evan_> *mutes all sound
[08:23] <comp83276> how do i get to t hat boot menu?
[08:23] <html> lol theadmin   thanks for the warm welcome
[08:23] <theadmin> evan_: No, use a thing like pavucontrol or even the standard mixer and just mute the "PCM" channel
[08:23] <theadmin> comp83276: I think you need to hold Left Shift during boot
[08:24] <lapion> evan_, there usually are 2 3.5mm audio outputs on laptops besides speakers..
[08:24] <comp83276> ok i can try that, anyone else?
[08:24] <html> any one good at tell me whats better for my hardware needs ?
[08:24] <theadmin> html: Just one serious advice: No friggin' ATI graphic cards.
[08:25] <html> any one good at tell me whats better for my hardware needs ? as in which motherboard ,
[08:25] <html> really?
[08:25] <evan_> theadmin: that's the simplest idea yet, thanks
[08:26] <theadmin> html: Yeah, they're always a huge problem somehow, anything else usually works... Well, there are some issues with some Bluetooth/Wi-Fi chipsets, but idk which exactly
[08:26] <html>  why so ? is the  ati  better with the software part?
[08:26] <comp83276> ok i will try, thanks!
[08:26] <theadmin> html: NVidia is much more supported
[08:26] <html> theadmin,  ok what about this carrd?
[08:27] <theadmin> html: "this" being?
[08:27] <html> http://www.compusa.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=6680894&sku=G458-0450
[08:28] <theadmin> html: I think that should work fine
[08:29] <html> so what brand do i have ?
[08:29] <html> http://www.compusa.com/cgi-bin/shoppingcart.asp    my cart
[08:29] <theadmin> html: "GeForce" makes me think it's an NVidia...
[08:29] <theadmin> html: And that's not your cart at all, I can't look at your purchases just from that link, they are only visible to you -_-
[08:30] <html> oh ,  well do you want to ?
[08:30] <theadmin> html: Not really.
[08:31] <Slartibart> Why "screen locked, enter password.." when I select Hibernate in the upper right corner menu?
[08:31] <theadmin> html: Again, well, Linux is quite hardware-friendly out of the box, there are rare issues with specific devices
[08:31] <Slartibart> *Why do I get
[08:31] <rabbi1> How to recover data from a laptop hardisk ?
[08:31] <theadmin> Slartibart: Well, after the PC wakes up, the screen is locked, that's normal
[08:32] <theadmin> rabbi1: Difficult. You may try using PhotoRec (a part of Testdisk as of now), but I can't really say how well that would work
[08:32] <rabbi1> theadmin: :(
[08:33] <rabbi1> how can i connect this HDD. I got a new one now, which i am using. The vendor said it's not possible.
[08:33] <stanman246> hi, i've got a h.264 avi from my digital camera and want to edit it to upload to youtube. Never done this before, anyone knows how the heck i could do that? (1st time, obviously...)
[08:33] <scriptwarlock> rabbi1, is your laptop dead?
[08:33] <rabbi1> scriptwarlock: yeap...
[08:34] <html> theadmin,  i am being picky  cuz i amd doing this for a customer  and said that i cuz make a semi -future proof computer,  in which i can mess up ..... and now im stuck  at which motherbaord to pick
[08:34] <rabbi1> scriptwarlock: i got a now one, working well with my laptop. what can i do with the old one for data ?
[08:34] <theadmin> html: Any, seriously... Linux doesn't care what your motherboard is. I just suggest you pick one with BIOS rather than EFI.
[08:35] <r000t_mlt> Guys, remember that clicking noise yesterday? Mobo reports the drives failing. Ubuntu confirms. So I have here a 4TB external, and I need to back up a failing 328GB partition. What's the best way to do this?
[08:35] <scriptwarlock> rabbi1, detach the hard drive
[08:35] <jasef> :) fixed my .ssh problem
[08:35] <rabbi1> scriptwarlock: yeah, it;s on my table now
[08:35] <scriptwarlock> rabbi1, you have an enclosure for that?
[08:35] <html> theadmin,  really????!!!!  i was about to get one ,  !               so why not efi ?
[08:36] <rabbi1> scriptwarlock: nope
[08:36] <theadmin> html: Well, it requires a specific kernel iirc, I'm not sure if Ubuntu has one supporting that
[08:36] <scriptwarlock> rabbi1, nothing you can do if you wont connect it using some enclosures with a usb
[08:37] <Slartibart> theadmin: Yeah, but this happens before the pc goes to sleep. It never really hibernates, just switches to screen locked mode.
[08:37] <theadmin> html: Besides, if your customers decide to install Windows, and specifically a pre-Windows 8 version, it won't work
[08:37] <theadmin> Slartibart: Do you have a swap partition? Is it mounted?
[08:37] <rabbi1> scriptwarlock: o got to buy then, what should i buy? its called and enclosure?
[08:37] <azerty> azerty
[08:37] <html> will EFI  ever be supported?
[08:38] <scriptwarlock> rabbi1, http://www.google.com.ph/search?gcx=w&q=laptop+hard+drive+enclosure&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&biw=1139&bih=695&sei=%20yFKyTqyAN4ufiAe3ocScAg
[08:38] <Slartibart> theadmin: swapon -s and free -m seem to say so, yes.
[08:38] <theadmin> html: It is, again, but requires a special kernel configuration thing. Since EFI is not a major deal right now... I see no need to support it, honestly.
[08:38] <theadmin> Slartibart: Okay, weird.
[08:38] <JapyDooge> o/ good morning =)
[08:38] <Slartibart> theadmin: Word ;-7..
[08:39] <theadmin> Slartibart: ...?
[08:39] <html> theadmin,  THANKS!
[08:39] <Slartibart> theadmin: I agree with what you were saying
[08:39] <rabbi1> scriptwarlock: ok, got it. will buy one, what next? which software to use for recovery?
[08:40] <theadmin> html: No problems
[08:40] <dddbmt> tonyyarusso, Sorry someone wanted to talk to me. But I don't know about lightning. I might very well fix my problem with getting google calendar into thundebird
[08:40] <tonyyarusso> dddbmt: it's the only way of getting any calendar into Thunderbird as far as I know
[08:41] <stanman246> rabbil: look into ddrescue
[08:41] <dddbmt> Okay - I'll give it a try then. Thank you very much! :) tonyyarusso
[08:42] <stanman246> dddbmt, i'm using a google cal with thunderbird and lightning
[08:42] <stanman246> works like a charm
[08:42] <scriptwarlock> rabbi1, just plug the enclosure to your new laptop and ubuntu will detect it for you
[08:42] <dddbmt> sounds great stanman246 :)
[08:42] <MeanEYE> Anyone knows why my apache2 won't follow symlinks although in configuration it is turned on?
[08:42] <stanman246> dddbmt, using it with tb7.01
[08:42] <stanman246> you could also use sunbird, which is the full calendar app
[08:43] <JapyDooge> MeanEYE: maybe wrong rights on the destination file?
[08:43] <html> MeanEYE,  i geuss restart it , or pc running it
[08:43] <MeanEYE> JapyDooge: Am linking directory.
[08:43] <dddbmt> stanman246, same as I got! (7.01). It's a little important that it's google calendar as it's for work.
[08:43] <tak_> สวัสดี
[08:43] <JapyDooge> then rights on the destination folder MeanEYE? :)
[08:43] <MeanEYE> html: tried restarting apache itself. Don't see the point in restarting computer.
[08:43] <MeanEYE> JapyDooge: 0775 on all files.
[08:44] <JapyDooge> also on the folder itself?
[08:44] <MeanEYE> JapyDooge: Yes.
[08:44] <JapyDooge> hmmm
[08:44] <JapyDooge> what error you get?
[08:44] <JapyDooge> in the errors.log
[08:44] <MeanEYE> JapyDooge: drwxrwxr-x 10 meaneye meaneye 4096 2011-11-03 09:31 Web
[08:44] <MeanEYE> Give me a moment
[08:44] <JapyDooge> k :)
[08:44] <html> MeanEYE,  it cuz be the sever got to hot ? or some thing hardware wise is not right
[08:44] <MeanEYE> JapyDooge: You don't have permission to access /shenkin on this server.
[08:44] <JapyDooge> ah
[08:45] <JapyDooge> MeanEYE: on what user runs your apache? (i think default is www-data)
[08:45] <MeanEYE> JapyDooge: default one... www-data
[08:45] <JapyDooge> i think you might want to try a 'chown -R www-data:www-data /shenkin'
[08:45] <MeanEYE> html: this is linux. Not windows.
[08:46] <MeanEYE> JapyDooge: Tried, not working. But I'll try again.
[08:46] <JapyDooge> because it's set 7 for user, but the user is you and not www-data
[08:46] <MeanEYE> JapyDooge: Same.
[08:46] <JapyDooge> hmmm
[08:46] <JapyDooge> thats strange
[08:46] <html> MeanEYE,  lol oh  yeahhh("kool aid man")
[08:46] <MeanEYE> JapyDooge: Yeah. I've been hitting my head with this for an hour now.
[08:47] <JapyDooge> lol
[08:47] <MeanEYE> html: I can restart it but it wont help.
[08:47] <JapyDooge> lemme think for a sec xD
[08:47] <MeanEYE> JapyDooge: Okies.
[08:48] <JapyDooge> MeanEYE: how did you enable the symlinks?
[08:48] <JapyDooge> Options FollowSymLinks in the directory directive?
[08:48] <MeanEYE> JapyDooge: They should be enabled by default... but yes... that's the way they are enabled.
[08:48] <html> MeanEYE,  its just thinking about the basics , which for servers cooling is a big one , but  its a though
[08:48] <MeanEYE> html: Not a server. :D My development machine. :D
[08:48] <JapyDooge> ahh i'm not sure if its enabled by default for all vhosts
[08:49] <JapyDooge> but yea
[08:49] <MeanEYE> JapyDooge: not a vhost, just default /var/www site.
[08:49] <JapyDooge> should work then
[08:49] <JapyDooge> ah
[08:49] <JapyDooge> wtf :P
[08:49] <FloodBot1> JapyDooge: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:49] <html> MeanEYE,  whats that?
[08:49] <MeanEYE> html: A normal PC which has no problems with heating :D
[08:49] <ubuntu> -
[08:49] <MeanEYE> JapyDooge: Weird, I know. And usually it worked out of the box... Now it doesn't.
[08:50]  * JapyDooge boots ubuntu server vm, try to have the same problem :p
[08:50] <MeanEYE> JapyDooge: Hm, I could create vhost. The same way phpmyadmin is doing. That would solve my problem I guess.
[08:50] <JapyDooge> probely yea
[08:51] <MeanEYE> JapyDooge: I'll do it that way. Thank you anyway :D
[08:51] <JapyDooge> gl :)
[08:51] <MeanEYE> JapyDooge: Thanks. :D
[08:51] <JapyDooge> i'll try anyway, want to see what goes wrong lol
[08:51] <JapyDooge> ^^
[08:51] <MeanEYE> html: Thanks for suggestions though :D
[08:52]  * JapyDooge steals bastidrazor's crazy chicken
[08:52] <Slartibart> I get "snapshot_ioctl: ioctl '4004330a' is deprecated and will be removed soon, update your suspend-to-disk utilities" when I try to hibernate. But how to update that??
[08:53] <Slartibart> I'm running 11.10, and update-manager says it is all updated..
[08:54] <html> MeanEYE,  if your like me  i take i  6core 32 gb of ram  and 2tb  and turn it in to a beast , gaming, server , video, making 30 web tabs open, and like 5 more thing  at the same time
[08:54] <MeanEYE> html: :D well, I don't have powerful computers... but this laptop is fairly strong. I use my machines for development only. Thenk software is deployed elsewhere.
[08:55] <html> and linux can do it all, picky at times  but yeah  MeanEYE
[08:56] <JapyDooge> Slartibart: seems to be a kernel issue when i look around a bit
[08:56] <JapyDooge> i'm not too much into that sadly, but i hope it gets updated soon
[08:56] <MeanEYE> JapyDooge: Weird. Even with alias I get the same error. It's deffinately problem with permissions but I fail to see what.
[08:56] <html> MeanEYE,  well i do either but if i did  have the money , which is bout 890$   i  might
[08:56] <JapyDooge> hm wtf :p
[08:57] <JapyDooge> MeanEYE: can u compare permissions of the phpmyadmin folder and yours?
[08:57] <JapyDooge> or set it 777 :P
[08:57]  * JapyDooge runs
[08:57] <Loptr> Heelo
[08:57] <MeanEYE> html: Agree. But still I like playing with a weaker machines because then I get to see how site behaves "under load"
[08:57] <Loptr> after login in, the there are small loading dots everywhere on the screem (the ubuntu loading)
[08:57] <Loptr> anyone know how to fix that?
[08:58] <Slartibart> JapyDooge: Oh, ok =/. Well, I have never messed with the kernel before so I guess I shouldn't do it now. Thanks.
[08:58] <r000t__mlt> I want to use dd_rescue to save a drive, but I'm not sure if it will wipe the destination drive. The goal is to write to a file on the destination drive. Is this the default behavior?
[08:59] <theadmin> r000t__mlt: Um, depends -- if you specify the destination like "/media/your_drive/file.img" it will write to the file, if you specify it like "/dev/sda1" it will write to the drive itself
[08:59] <JapyDooge> might be fixed in the next update Slartibart :)
[08:59] <JapyDooge> not sure if there is a bug report out
[08:59] <r000t__mlt> Now, here's the kicker. I just got done backing up a RAID I just blew up onto this external, so a lot is at risk here. Have you used dd_rescue in the past?
[09:00] <theadmin> r000t__mlt: You know, reading the manual and understanding the basics is enough.
[09:00] <r000t__mlt> I've been reading the manual but I want to be 100% sure it won't overwrite the partition like what is implied.
[09:01] <theadmin> r000t__mlt: Read my message again.
[09:01] <chandru_in> my wireless has been working fine since 10.04 untill 11.10. With 11.10, the network menu says "device not ready". Doesn't say "missing firmware" though.
[09:01] <r000t__mlt> So you're 100% positive it will write to a file?
[09:01] <theadmin> r000t__mlt: The partition is also a file, under /dev. So if you specify that as an output file, it WILL overwrite it.
[09:01] <theadmin> r000t__mlt: If you specify a place on the partition's mountpoint, e.g. /media/whatever/backup.img, it will write to that.
[09:01] <r000t__mlt> Okay
[09:01] <r000t__mlt> thanks :D
[09:02] <chandru_in> has anyone else had problem with wireless in 11.10
[09:02] <html> MeanEYE,  very agree  , i just add that i hope you can put it on a scale  , like google mail  when your pc cant or is to slow put an option   to fix the page to load faster, (please moble cell and netbook friendly )  and it is nice it write a app so it can tell whats going on and it auto optimzed itself,
[09:03] <bhavesh> I should not move Windows C partition with /boot flag?

[09:05] <ubuntubhoy> Morning guys, can anyone help remove/reset the config files for OnBoard keyboard ?
[09:05] <Slartibart> Is there a logical explanation for why I get "cryptsetup: WARNING: failed to detect canonical device of /dev/sda3"? None of my partitions are supposed to be encrypted.
[09:05] <JapyDooge> haha gl Slartibart, if you want to see if there is a bugreport on that issue, check the trackers on launchpad.net :)
[09:06] <RobinJ> Help? My cursor keeps spinning and it's driving me nuts >.< I can't see where I'm clicking if it's always  round
[09:07] <MeanEYE> JapyDooge: Any luck?
[09:07] <JapyDooge> yea
[09:08] <JapyDooge> firing up the test machine, forgot to connect network and keyboard
[09:08] <JapyDooge> lol
[09:09] <bhavesh> theadmin, but isnt MBR another space of memory in CPU other than Hard drive? So why does it affect if I move a partition? I guess grub2 does not store boot information on mbr while win7 does?
[09:10] <theadmin> bhavesh: err... No, MBR is the first few sectors of the hard drive
[09:10] <bhavesh> ok
[09:13] <shadowhate> why doesn't my all desktop have the netbook-launcher-efl ?
[09:13] <perlzoc>  hi there is anybody able to configure TSOCKS?
[09:14] <perlzoc> hello
[09:14] <xerzaz> what is the cmd to download through cmd line?
[09:14] <theadmin> xerzaz: wget
[09:14] <odb|fidel> xerzaz: wget is 1 option
[09:14] <xerzaz> thx
[09:14] <bhavesh> theadmin, my first partition is empty (30GB). I want to use that space so should I change my boot flag to first partition or keep 30GB empty? By default the boot flag was on C drive

[09:14] <linda_> wget  URL
[09:15] <perlzoc>  hi there is anybody able to configure TSOCKS?
[09:15] <xerzaz> and how to unpack it in cmd?
[09:15] <theadmin> bhavesh: That is not a partition
[09:15] <xerzaz> it's a tar.gz file
[09:15] <theadmin> xerzaz: tar xf whatever.tar.gz
[09:15] <xerzaz> oki thx
[09:15] <bhavesh> boot flag should always be at first partition?
[09:15] <linda_> en
[09:15] <theadmin> bhavesh: boot flag should be wherever the bootloader is, OR at the Windows partition if you have one
[09:15] <bhavesh> I wanted to make it a partition.. it is unused
[09:16] <bhavesh> ok
[09:16] <babilen> bhavesh: The bootflag is irrelevant when you use linux
[09:16] <bhavesh> ok
[09:16] <Mitchell_> Is it possible to use gnome 2 on the latest version of ubuntu?
[09:16] <shadowhate> anybody can help about netbook-launcher-efl?

[09:16] <kints> hi i'm having trouble starting Xserver in ubuntu since i upgraded to 11.10, i have an nvidia quadra nvs295 anyone can help me about what can i do to make it work again (i'm a newbie in linux)?
[09:16] <theadmin> Mitchell_: No, you can use the Gnome3 fallback, though. Or XFCE ^_^
[09:17] <jasef> !anyone | shadowhate
[09:17] <babilen> theadmin: Yes, hence the "when you use linux" :)
[09:17] <ultrav1olet> Or run a few tests for me.
[09:17] <jasef> ultrav1olet, you're right, it does sound crazy :3
[09:18] <shadowhate> not all my desktop has the netbook-launcher-efl interface, and at start i need to xkill and point it to the desktop to reveal the netbook-launcher-efl :(
[09:18] <Mitchell_> theadmin: do i just download the normal version for gnome 3? also, if i wanted to change it i could just install another one right?
[09:18] <ultrav1olet> jasef: I have no problems letting anyone on my computer
[09:18] <bhavesh> is fat32 better than ntfs?
[09:18] <ultrav1olet> if it's really necessary
[09:18] <chaospsychex> bhavesh: yes!
[09:18] <ultrav1olet> bhavesh: no
[09:18] <jasef> ultrav1olet, lol. I understand that, it's just a rather specific request.
[09:18] <odb|fidel> bhavesh: define better
[09:18] <rumpel> bhavesh, depends
[09:19] <theadmin> Mitchell_: You can apt-get install gnome-shell to use the traditional GNOME3 interface, gnome-panel to use the old-style gnome2-like one (note that you can not add or remove applets) or xfce4 in order to use XFCE (which is VERY gnome2-like)
[09:19] <chaospsychex> yes its better
[09:19] <bhavesh> betteR: faster file copying
[09:19] <odb|fidel> asking for better usually smeels like a wrong question ;)
[09:19] <bhavesh> yes..
[09:19] <perlzoc>  hi there is anybody able to configure TSOCKS?
[09:19] <phlak_user> perlzoc, what is TSOCKS
[09:19] <deej1976> !info tsocks
[09:20] <jasef> I wonder what the version in precise is lol.
[09:20]  * phlak_user someone is trying to bypass the school firewall
[09:20] <kints> hi i'm having trouble starting Xserver in ubuntu since i upgraded to 11.10, i have an nvidia quadra nvs295 anyone can help me to figure out what do i need to do to make it work again?
[09:20] <jasef> Lol, I've successfully bypassed my school firewall.
[09:20] <jasef> So easy.
[09:20] <perlzoc> ANYBODY able to help me with TSOCKS configuration?
[09:21] <jasef> *host SSH on port 443, use domain name pointing at home computer, kgo.*
[09:21] <rumpel> perlzoc, you could ask a little bit more specific. tsocks.conf is really not that complicated.
[09:21] <CobraKhan007> kints hat to install the new nvidia drivers and blacklist the nouveau driver
[09:22] <perlzoc> rumpel:  i need to proxify an application and i have the proxy server url that i want to use but i'm unable to configure tsocks.conf can u help me?
[09:22] <jasef> Installing tsocks 1.8beta5-9.2 to see if I get any complications.
[09:22] <CobraKhan007> for my 8800gt.
[09:22] <rumpel> perlzoc, again: whats the problem? you just have to set the server(ip), the port and maybe the type...
[09:22] <kints> CobraKhan007: how can i blacklist noveau driver, from live cd ? (sorry i'm kind of newbie)
[09:23] <jasef> perlzoc, don't you just have to change 'server' to your server IP, and 'server_port' to the port?
[09:23] <snille> How can I disable the "snap window to fullscreen/halfscreen" function in Ubuntu 11.10?
[09:23] <jasef> perlzoc, looks like some proxies need 'server_type' as well though
[09:24] <perlzoc> http://pastebin.com/TihWHFe4
[09:24] <perlzoc> here is my configuration
[09:24] <perlzoc> http://pastebin.com/TihWHFe4
[09:24] <jasef> perlzoc, what's the problem with that?
[09:25] <Anon356> testing xchat client
[09:25] <perlzoc> jasef:  this is the problem http://pastebin.com/PkjUqfF2
[09:26] <jasef> perlzoc, Hmm... seems like it's saying it only wants to play with hosts that are on a local network.
[09:27] <perlzoc> .(
[09:27] <jasef> perlzoc, I'm looking to see if it's possible to change this behaviour
[09:27] <phlak_user> perlzoc, whats on line 18 of your config file?
[09:27] <jasef> phlak_user, local = 192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0 <- line 18
[09:27] <jasef> Got it from the pastebin he posted earlier.
[09:28] <perlzoc> Is anybody here that use TSOCKS ??
[09:28] <jasef> It might be possible to just tell it that the socks address is local, but that might cause weird behaviour, I don't know.
[09:28] <perlzoc> jasef:  take a look here http://tsocks.sourceforge.net/faq.php#local
[09:28] <perlzoc> jasef:  i didn't understand what means
[09:29] <phlak_user> perlzoc, is your paths configured properly?
[09:29] <perlzoc> phlak_user:  what means? do you have experience about Tsocks ?
[09:29] <jasef> You could try settings that to 'local = 31.7.60.5/255.255.255.255'
[09:30] <phlak_user> perlzoc, none at all; just learning along with you
[09:30] <perlzoc> phlak_user: thanks for helping
[09:30] <jasef> perlzoc, if you make the change I suggested, tell me how it works?
[09:31] <perlzoc> wait
[09:31] <Mitchell_> Ive got a 64 bit cpu and 2gb ram, should i get the 64 bit or 32?
[09:32] <perlzoc> jasef: Gtk-Message: (for origin information, set GTK_DEBUG): failed to retrieve property `GtkTreeView::odd-row-color' of type `GdkColor' from rc file value "((GString*) 0x95c3050)" of type `GString'
[09:32] <perlzoc> jasef:  and the zattoo player stay blanck
[09:32] <perlzoc> blank
[09:32] <ultrav1olet> Mitchell_: anything you like, I prefer 32bit even with my 8GB of RAM
[09:33] <phlak_user> jasef, that might not work - Local subnets - Networks that can be accessed directly without assistance from a socks server
[09:33] <jasef> phlak_user, exactly - the socks server shouldn't need a socks server to help access it.
[09:33] <_sivanov> is there any good tutorial how to convert current ubuntu installation to software raid (no fakeraid)
[09:34] <jasef> perlzoc, hold on a moment, I'm trying to see what happens when I use the settings, or does your server need authentication?
[09:34] <perlzoc> no no no is a free proxy swiss server
[09:35] <jasef> Do you know if it's SOCKS4 or SOCKS5?
[09:35] <phlak_user> perlzoc, you havent changed any thing inside paths except for the server ip
[09:35] <jasef> phlak_user, that shouldn't matter - paths only takes effect when accessing the specified IP.
[09:35] <perlzoc> jasef: free swiss proxy server 31.7.60.5:8080
[09:35] <perlzoc> jasef:  on my browser works properly setted as proxy 5
[09:36] <phlak_user> jasef, perlzoc why does he need tsocks again?
[09:36] <jasef> phlak_user, don't really know. it wasn't explained that I saw
[09:36] <perlzoc> phlak_user:  i have changed also other stuff as my machine IP
[09:36] <perlzoc> phlak_user:  i need tsocks to proxify and applications so it will use a proxy
[09:37] <phlak_user> perlzoc, ok you will setup tsocks as a proxy server for your applications?
[09:38] <perlzoc> phlak_user:  yes then i will laung tsocks + app name to make it works with that
[09:39] <jasef> perlzoc, funny thing. With my configuration set to your proxy server - I get no errors, but using tsocks on firefox for example doesn't change anything
[09:39] <jasef> It still connects via my main internet connection.
[09:39] <perlzoc> jasef:  can u pastebin your configuration ?
[09:41] <phlak_user> perlzoc, jasef inspectsocks 31.7.60.5 8080 takes forever
[09:41] <jasef> I'm aware - using tsocks on bash makes my internet simply stop lol.
[09:41] <ronin___> Hi
[09:42] <ronin___> anybody knows how I can connect to a vpn connect?
[09:42] <makara> trying to get help on a phpmyadmin issue. no-one in forum, and php is invite only. ideas?
[09:42] <jasef> However, my configuration seems solid.
[09:42] <phlak_user> jasef, perlzoc now it says this -> inspectsocks: Server disconnected, probably not a socks server
[09:42] <perlzoc> phlak_user:  ???????????
[09:43] <phlak_user> perlzoc, there is a utility called inspectsocks which gives some info about the socks server (eg v5 or 4 etc)
[09:43] <perlzoc> ok
[09:43] <MartinYu> mobibot: weather ZBAA
[09:43] <phlak_user> !details| ronin___
[09:43] <phlak_user> makara, ask away; we'll try
[09:43] <jasef> perlzoc, the socks server doesn't seem to be responding at all. I will still paste my configuration however, as it does work. You would still have to change the IP to a working server though, as the one you provided doesn't seem to work. http://paste.ubuntu.com/727085/
[09:44] <jasef> phlak_user, is inspectsocks in the repositories?
[09:44] <phlak_user> jasef, it gets installed along with tsocks
[09:44] <Spartakus> !id
[09:45] <phlak_user> jasef, also validateconf, a useful utility to check config
[09:45] <perlzoc> jasef:  this server works 100% using firefox and foxyproxy s
[09:46] <jasef> perlzoc, Are you sure that it's the same IP? And is definitely a SOCKS proxy and not a HTTP proxy?
[09:46] <jatt> how do I tell google chrome to use libreoffice to open .docx files?
[09:46] <phlak_user> perlzoc, doesnt work for me in firefox
[09:47] <jasef> perlzoc, phlak_user, perhaps it's region restricted.
[09:47] <jasef> phlak_user, perlzoc, I can telnet into it, but it instantly disconnects me
[09:47] <phlak_user> jasef, could be
[09:47] <Spartakus> This morning, my Lucid Lynx suddenly used GNOME Shell. After a while, she told me that she wants a cigarette. After I gave her the cigarette, she wanted to get rid the shell and my lovely classic GNOME back!
[09:47] <jatt> when I try to open a .docx file, chrome opens the Archive Manager.
[09:47] <jatt> is there a way to configure it to open libreoffice instead?
[09:47] <Lantizia> Hey can I have something that can watch what files are made/edited before I run a script?  I've seen 'inotify' but I'm looking for something that implements inotify maybe as a service?
[09:47] <Lantizia> i just wanna see what a script has meddled with
[09:48] <jasef> perlzoc, try the config I linked you too, see if it works for you. Could you also paste the results of inspectsocks 31.7.60.5 8080 ?
[09:48] <Spartakus> jatt, yes, you can use ubuntu tweak. it is very easy to do rather than manually
[09:48] <windparadise> after my recent configuration, when i ping my mx record, ping mx.berylhost.com it gives a reply meanwhile in my terminal, hostname --fqdn returns hostname: Name or service not known     also when I tried restarting apache, I have this error. root@berylhost:~# /etc/init.d/apache2 restartRestarting web server: apache2apache2: apr_sockaddr_info_get() failed for berylhostapache2: Could not...
[09:48] <windparadise> ...reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerNamewhat do I do ?
[09:49] <html> ubnutu tweak is very nice,
[09:49] <xerzaz> is it possible to unpack a .zip file in ubuntu from cmd?
[09:49] <jatt> Spartakus: I could try ubuntu teak, but I am using ubuntu 11.10 and ubuntu teak's page says it is only available as alpha version for 11.10
[09:49] <phlak_user> jatt, go to "under the hood"  and set helper applications
[09:49] <jatt> Spartakus: so how can I do it manually?
[09:50] <phlak_user> xerzaz, yes, unzip file.zip
[09:50] <jasef> xerzaz, yes, using 'unzip filename.zip'
[09:50] <xerzaz> oki thx
[09:50] <phlak_user> !info unzip | xerzaz
[09:50] <sludge> can someone please give me the backtrack channel name
[09:50] <jatt> phlak_user: thanks but I don't see set helper applications in Under the Hood
[09:51] <sludge> i cant list from here

[09:51] <Math^> hello, does anyone know where I can get the Revolution OS movie in high quality?
[09:51] <Spartakus> jatt, just right click the docx file, then choose properties. Choose open with tab. Delete everything inside it and add libreoffice
[09:51] <phlak_user> jatt, ok just found out; chrome uses mozplugger to figure out helper apps
[09:51] <Spartakus> jatt, after that, when you want to open docx file, it will opened with libreoffice
[09:51] <sludge> hello
[09:52] <sludge> the name of the backtrack channel?
[09:52] <Math^> or maybe it's not open-source? I can buy the DVD somewere?

[09:57] <lazymanc> hi - I want to add aptana to the launcher bar in unity, but it seems adding apps that weren't installed is a pain
[09:57] <lazymanc> I've tried creating an aptana.desktop file and dragging it to the launcher but nothing happens
[09:58] <lazymanc> is there a way to get custom apps to appear in the launcher?
[09:58] <windparadise> at first, my default hostname is berylhost.com but while trying to install gplhost, I am asked to change my host to mx.berylhost.com   which I did
[09:58] <jatt> !op
[09:58] <Myrtti> jatt: yes?
[09:59] <deej1976> lazymanc: If you launch the app from terminal, does an icon appear int the launcher?
[09:59] <jatt> /say Myrtti could you please ban sludge? he is being rude. he wrote the following:
 anybody in here want to suck my cock?
[09:59] <Myrtti> jatt: a) why repeat it b) he left
[09:59] <jatt> alright thanks
[09:59] <lazymanc> deej1976: yes, but if you tick keep in launcher and then close the app, it won't open again from that icon
[10:00] <deej1976> lazymanc: grrr
[10:00] <lazymanc> the icon stays in the launcher but it doesn't do anything

As of now, I'm running on the card that's plugged into some slot (I don't know the slot type, and cba to open the box). Ubuntu doesn't detect both displays. Does that mean I cannot run two monitors on this comp ?
[10:22] <Mitchell_> plug in 2 displays and it should recognise both
[10:22] <Mitchell_> if not, get drivers
[10:23] <milligan_> It doesn't :(

[10:31] <scotty^> jeus: U still there?
[10:32] <scotty^> jeus: Click on the little cog symbol in the top right corner and then click Displays
[10:34] <milligan_> scotty^, any idea ?
[10:34] <beancurdracer> another answerless question i've had
[10:34] <chaospsychex> ?
[10:35] <chaospsychex> ur ? is?
[10:36] <Mitchell_> do you have to be using kde to run audacity? or judt have it installed
[10:36] <vani> hi
[10:37] <rani> hi
[10:37] <MonkeyDust> Mitchell_: audacity can be used in gnome
[10:37] <rani> i want to install the openbravo on ubuntu
[10:37] <Guest48839> hi ho)
[10:37] <scotty^> milligan: hold on a moment
[10:37] <rani> but i don't know
[10:37] <MonkeyDust> rani: what's keeping you?
[10:38] <deej1976> Mitchell_: Just sudi apt-get install audacity
[10:38] <rani> which command using
[10:38] <deej1976> sudi = sudo
[10:38] <Mitchell_> so you dont need kde?
[10:38] <rani> monkeyDust:hi
[10:38] <deej1976> Mitchell_: nope
[10:38] <MonkeyDust> rani: if it's in the repos: apt-get install openbravo
[10:38] <Mitchell_> or will it sort it out
[10:39] <rani> monkeyDust: ok i wil try
[10:39] <deej1976> Mitchell_: kde is not required
[10:40] <scotty^> milligan: which is supposed to be connected?  DFP1 (your LCD flatscreen) or CRT1 (your big cathode ray tube monitor)?
[10:40] <milligan_> scotty^, an LCD for sure.
[10:41] <MissingPerson> ok, so can anyone help me figure out what part i need?  the lcd on my laptop is only showing half the screen.  when i first turn it on, the right side shows white and yellow lines then goes black, the middle of the screen has nothing but white and red
[10:41] <rani> monkeyDust: output Couldn't find package openbravo
[10:41] <MissingPerson> and for about a year or two i have had red and yellow vertical lines going down the left side
[10:41] <chaospsychex> da screen is done dude
[10:41] <scotty^> milligan:  So you want to connect two LCD's, but it only recognises one?
[10:42] <Mitchell_> i judt realised i didnt mean audacity. i meant want amarok
[10:42] <dr_willis> MissingPerson:  they even in the bios/post screens?
[10:42] <MonkeyDust> rani: it means it is not in the repos
[10:42] <scotty^> milligan:  Are you sure the ATI card is being used and not your Sandy Bridge graphics?
[10:42] <MissingPerson> dr_willis: yes
[10:42] <milligan_> scotty^, pretty sure. Ubuntu suggested to install the fglrx driver etc..
[10:42] <rani> MonkeyDust: yes
[10:43] <dr_willis> MissingPerson:  so is the screen useable at all?
[10:43] <MonkeyDust> rani, openbravo is something commercial, is what i read here
[10:43] <MissingPerson> dr_willis: no, half the screen shows nothing but black, looks like the pac man kill screen
[10:44] <scotty^> milligan: It sounds like you might be one of the lucky people who can switch between the integratged Sandy Bridge graphics and the discrete ATI graphics in your BIOS.  AFAIK, using both at the same time is not supported.
[10:44] <MonkeyDust> rani: openbravo is the name of a company
[10:45] <dr_willis> MissingPerson:  guven the cost of parts... and the dificulty of fixing the things..  better to invest in a new laptop.
[10:45] <MonkeyDust> it is not a program
[10:45] <deej1976> Mitchell_: sudo apt-get install amarok , and this will pull down all the required libraries
[10:45] <MissingPerson> don't have the money for a new laptop
[10:45] <Mitchell_> i was thinking of amarok, so really my question is do i need to be using kde for amarok or just have it installed?
[10:45] <milligan_> scotty^, wohoo :) Alright, that just confirms my suspicion. I'll go hunting for a proper GFX card.
[10:46] <dr_willis> i doubt if you have the money for parts then. it may cost more than a new laptop
[10:46] <deej1976> Mitchell_: No you can use kde under gnome, but some might not look correct.
[10:46] <Mitchell_> ok
[10:47] <deej1976> MissingPerson: How much of the screen is visible if you go into the bios?
[10:47] <dr_willis> MissingPerson:  check on ebay perhaps for a used one.
[10:48] <scotty^> milligan:  U have an ATI Radeon HD5450, correct?
[10:48] <MissingPerson> I'm in China, cost of shipping even a used one to me now is prohibitive.  same amount of the screen is visible, like half or a 3rd
[10:48] <MissingPerson> and it's an acer laptop, checked on ebay, and if i could get the screen, it's like $100
[10:49] <chaospsychex> what the hell are you doing in china?

[10:53] <stormz> hi guys, I have just updated from ubuntu 11.04 to 11.10 and I don't have a network or internet. I received a message during the upgrade that samba4 had a problem installing
[10:53] <Guest1329> anyone who knows how to set up irssi w/ TOR
[10:53] <JapyDooge> samba cant cause you to have no netwerk at all i think
[10:53] <stormz> I am wanting to know if there is a way to apt-get install to a mounted drive from the live cd?
[10:54] <MonkeyDust> rani: openbravo erp is a commercial product, www.openbravo.com
[10:54] <Ebosh3r> anyone who knows how to set up irssi w/ TOR???
[10:54] <Spartakus> MonkeyDust, but there is the open source version of the openbrave
[10:55] <jasef> Does anyone know if Samba in Ubuntu can mount a folder that I have access to on the network if I don't have read access to the directory list of the parent folder? That's how my shared drives work at my college, and they work fine in Windows, but I can't make it work in linux
[10:55] <qmr> jasef: ask #samba
[10:55] <stormz> Japy, thanks for responding.. It is the only thing I have changed, network worked in 11.04 prior to 11.11 upgrade.
[10:55] <jasef> qmr, thanks. I wasn't aware there was a #samba channel :)
[10:55] <deej1976>  rani: http://www.openbravo.com/downloads/files/ -> Ubuntu installation
[10:56] <qmr> [themoreyouknow]
[10:56] <odb|fidel> jasef: there is a channel for almost everything in freenode ;)
[10:56] <JapyDooge> Ebosh3r: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/TorifyHOWTO#Abouttorsocks
[10:56] <deej1976> rani: does refer to 10.04 though
[10:56] <stormz> I may have uninstalled samba4 completely including all dependencies from synaptic though? This worked from 10.10 to 11..04 as I had the same samba4 error appear
[10:57] <MonkeyDust> Spartakus: rani : it is opensource, but not free
[10:57] <Ebosh3r> JopyDooge I want to know how to use it w/ Irssi :( pidgin is g4y
[10:57] <Spartakus> MonkeyDust, it is free, but, there is also a commercial version
[10:57] <deej1976> rani: and it not in the 11.10 partner repo
[10:57] <stormz> so there is no way to apt-get to a mounted drive from live cd?
[10:58] <Ebosh3r> JopyDooge oh thnx I got it.
[10:58] <MonkeyDust> rani: kindly ask Spartakus for advice :)
[10:58] <Mitchell_> stormz, not that i know of
[10:58] <rani> monkeudus: im using ubuntu 11.04
[10:59] <JapyDooge> gl Ebosh3r :)
[10:59] <Spartakus> MonkeyDust, I am sorry bro, but I do not know the package. I only have ever read an article about it :D
[10:59] <rani> Spartakus: hi
[10:59] <deej1976> rani: http://wiki.openbravo.com/wiki/ERP_2.50:Openbravo_ERP_Installation/Ubuntu_Installation
[11:00] <stormz> okay, the 11.11 install exited about 75% through due to the samba error and said it would clean up, which it didn't, it just closed. Maybe the last updates had to do with the network? Is my last option just to reinstall?
[11:00] <X-tonic> is there a channel to UDS?
[11:00] <X-tonic> to post in recommendations and suggestions?
[11:00] <X-tonic> or to follow it live?
[11:00] <rani> deej1976: im using $ sudo apt-get update
[11:00] <rani> $ sudo apt-get install openbravo-erp
[11:01] <deej1976> Try apt-cache search openbravo
[11:02] <rani> deej1976:install process is going on
[11:02] <MonkeyDust> rani: follow the link that deej1976 showed you, you'll learn how to install openbravo erp
[11:02] <Spartakus> rani, please read this http://wiki.openbravo.com/wiki/ERP_2.50:Openbravo_ERP_Installation/Ubuntu_Installation
[11:03] <rani> spartakus: ok
[11:03] <MonkeyDust> Spartakus: the link shows how to add the repo :)
[11:03] <rani> monkeyDust:ok
[11:03] <Spartakus> MonkeyDust, yes, I suppose once the repo has been added, he can installed it directly
[11:04] <dAnjou> hi, has anyone ever seen something like that? https://studi.f4.htw-berlin.de/~s0521788/tmp/strange_bug.mkv [oneiic]
[11:04] <MonkeyDust> we're here to learn
[11:04] <dAnjou> *oneiric
[11:05] <stormz> does anyone have a good guide for DOWNGRAIND ubuntu versions? and how suceessful is the process?
[11:05] <stormz> *downgrading
[11:05] <DJones> !downgrade | stormz
[11:05] <stormz> its already broken, not really much harm
[11:05] <dAnjou> stormz: just reinstall
[11:05] <DJones> stormz: As far as I know, the only way to downgrade is to reinstall with an older version after taking backups
[11:06] <stormz> djones yeah thanks, backing up now.... does anyone actually like the new bar in 11.04+ i think i'll go back to 10.10
[11:06] <dAnjou> gnome 3 here and kind of happy
[11:07] <Spartakus> by the way, OpenBravo 3 is available in my Lucid. I can see it in the software center in the section of canonical partners :D
[11:08] <dAnjou> stormz: actually ... pick one: http://danjou.de/static/desktops.png
[11:08] <dAnjou> except gnome2
[11:11] <stormz> danjou gnome3 looks okay, no bottom bar though, that's why i like gnome2 :P
[11:12] <stevecam> stormz, gnome3 has a bottem bar, you must be thinking of unity
[11:12] <Spartakus> stormz, classic gnome is great, I love it too, although of course gnome 3 is also great
[11:12] <JapyDooge> fluxbox \o/
[11:12]  * JapyDooge runs
[11:13] <dAnjou> stormz: gnome3's bottom bar is hidden and appears when you hover in the bottom right corner
[11:13] <scotty^> Can anybody help with a fix for https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/869239
[11:13] <scotty^> ?
[11:14] <stevecam> ive noticed that there has been much confusion with the release of unity and gnome 3
[11:15] <ZeitFight> When I typed vim in my terminal it tells me "The program vim can be found in the following packages: vim, vim-gnome, vim-tiny, vim-athena, vim-gtk, vim-nox." Which one should I download?
[11:15] <jrib> ZeitFight: the one you want ;)
[11:16] <ZeitFight> jrib: I'm looking for a less GUI-based editor. Which one would that be in this case?
[11:16] <deej1976> ZeitFight: vim is console based
[11:16] <JapyDooge> i love nano, but if you like vi-style then i should go for the vim package indeed
[11:16] <jrib> ZeitFight: all of them... Do you want gvim (vim outside of terminal as a gui window)?
[11:16] <dc5ala> ZeitFight, for command line just vim, more "graphical" version is gvim -> vim-gnome
[11:16] <ZeitFight> Alright
[11:16] <clipartcat> nano argh
[11:17] <JapyDooge> xD
[11:17] <JapyDooge> editor war in 3..2..1..

[11:17] <clipartcat> textmate!
[11:17] <JapyDooge> :D
[11:17] <rzec> is there a repository that has more updated php (like 5.3.8) and mysql (like 5.5.x) for ubuntu.  I know CentOS has IUS Repository but can't find anything got ubuntu/debian.
[11:18]  * JapyDooge runs
[11:19] <Spartakus> yes, download emacs :D it's nice ;))
[11:20] <Bakku> use gedit :)
[11:20] <SystemParadox> the latest version of unetbootin won't run because it can't find the 32bit version of libpng12. Any ideas how to fix this? Is there a 32bit version of libpng somewhere or is this a bug in unetbootin?
[11:20] <Spartakus> emacs is rock! ;))
[11:20] <deej1976> make gedit look like TextMate :)) http://blog.sudobits.com/2011/04/02/textmate-for-ubuntu-linux/
[11:21] <Bakku> what are the advantages of emacs compared to gedit ?
[11:21] <Spartakus> Bakku, well, emacs can make an injury into my fingers :D
[11:21] <Pumpkin-> editor choice is totally personal preference, but somehow it is a super emotive subject
[11:21] <Spartakus> gedit can not do that!
[11:22] <dc5ala> you can put the discussion about text editors to #ubuntu-offtopic ;)
[11:23] <JapyDooge> or #editorwars :P
[11:24] <scotty^> Can anybody help with a fix for https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/869239

[11:27] <ZenMaster> So I have a funny question. I havce tried two usb sticks and a cd. And the install of Ubuntu Server fails randomly every time on different files or stages of the install? Could this be because the version of Server I have is to new for the hardware? :D
[11:28] <JapyDooge> html: i've read about it a while ago but thats all
[11:28] <ZenMaster> I would imagine a p4 3.0ghz(Single Core) 2gb ram would be pretty modern. I also though *nix was generally more apprecititive of older hardware also.
[11:28] <html> whats it about and do you have one ?
[11:29] <JapyDooge> ZenMaster: try a check in the memory of the system :) you can do that from the cd boot menu if i'm right, or download the membest86+ iso image :)
[11:29] <}[o0]{> upgraded to 11.10. i use the hda intel driver. all appears loaded via lsmod. no sound. no card in the settings dialogs.
[11:29] <ZenMaster> JapyDooge: Thank you for the response. I have tried both memory and cd test.
[11:29] <JapyDooge> nope html but i's a kinda mediaserver/nas for external harddisks (the device) and included mediaserveralike software
[11:29] <JapyDooge> hmm
[11:29] <scotty^> Zenmaster: And check the md5sum of your Ubuntu download.
[11:29] <JapyDooge> did you try to test the hdd ZenMaster ?
[11:29] <ZenMaster> Well I am trying 10.04 now.
[11:29] <TheHackOps> anyone know how to fix flash player flickering in full screen mode
[11:30] <JapyDooge> oh also what scotty^ says indeed
[11:30] <ZenMaster> JapyDooge, That is the last thing I have not done yet.
[11:30] <ZenMaster> Might just swap the 200gb for the 500gb.
[11:30] <html> JapyDooge,  do you thing its worth it ?
[11:30] <JapyDooge> ZenMaster: i've seen the behaviour before, was a fried harddisk then :)
[11:30] <clipartcat> ZenMaster, well you don't get anything into console?-)
[11:30] <jatt> with google-chrome if I download foo.txt and then foo.txt again it is saved as foo.txt(1). is there a way to configure chrome to overwrite the original foo.txt instead?
[11:30] <ZenMaster> I need this machine to just run one website that is all! I am very framiliar with linux. My operating system of choice is really BSD> :)
[11:30] <JapyDooge> dunno html in the 'modern world' (the device exists for quite some years) almost every normal NAS has a mediaserver function in it :) i wouldnt buy it
[11:30] <jatt> I am using chrome on ubuntu 11.10
[11:31] <TheHackOps> anyone know how to fix flash player flickering in full screen mode
[11:31] <ZenMaster> Ok, going to try to use the 500gb, see if that makes a difference.
[11:31] <JapyDooge> hehe ZenMaster get freebsd on it? :P
[11:31]  * JapyDooge runs
[11:31] <ZenMaster> By the way this machine is a HP DFF 530.
[11:31] <JapyDooge> good luck tho :)

[11:32] <clipartcat> ZenMaster, .jpg or we don't believe you have a girlfriend
[11:32] <JapyDooge> TheHackOps: you can try some different video drivers if possible (upgraded ones, those from manufacturer instead of repository's, etc)
[11:32] <JapyDooge> lol clipartcat
[11:32] <TheHackOps> Grrrrrr i want to watch my show soo bad
[11:32] <Spartakus> clipartcat, I think 3gp is more acceptable

[11:32] <clipartcat> write "ZenMaster 420" into postit and include it in the pic
[11:33] <scotty^> TheHackOps - which version of Flash?  What version of Ubuntu are you running?  Which graphics card/chip do you have?  Are you using the open or closed source graphics drivers?
[11:33] <dc5ala> TheHackOps, you could check flash player options via context menu. But may need to do that on a normal flash application which does not hide this menu.
[11:33] <JapyDooge> use flash ZenMaster xD
[11:33] <ZenMaster> clipartcat: How about I  just hold up a jar of weed? :D

[11:37] <G-H0st> she doesn't even know her password. x)
[11:37] <dr_willis> G-H0st:  you could clarify the question. not everyone is going to go to look at a screen shot to  gry to figure out what you mean
[11:37] <G-H0st> dr_willis, <G-H0st> Hi fellas - where do i find the command prompt in 11.10...
[11:38] <JapyDooge> dr_willis: he is looking for the search option in unity gui
[11:38] <G-H0st> command prompt, terminal, BASH term, whatever
[11:38] <scotty^> TheHackOps: there are some nice performance gains in the open-source drivers for ATI hardware in Natty 11.04 and in Oneiric 11.10.
[11:38] <dr_willis> G-H0st:  alt-f2 terminal is what i normally use..
[11:38] <dr_willis> or alt-f2 gnome-terminal    then i pin it to the panel
[11:38] <G-H0st> lovely
[11:38] <G-H0st> lemme tell how to do it :P
[11:39] <html> JapyDooge,  i like the idea of what pogoplug  so something simular   ,
[11:39] <dr_willis> or i click on teh appliations lense amd type in term in the entry box i belive..
[11:39] <G-H0st> 9_o
[11:39] <dr_willis> or i use my classic-gnome indicator-applet :)
[11:39] <ZenMaster> Swapping drives. 200 and 60 for 400 and 160.
[11:39] <TheHackOps> scotty^, 11.04/11.10 are SOOOO Lagy on my laptop
[11:40] <ellipsis> Everything was happy with my Ubuntu until I installed an update, now it no longer boots. Any idea what I should do? Can I "repair" an install? I'm on gentoo at the moment and have access to the harddrive used for the broken ubuntu install.
[11:40] <TheHackOps> scotty^, Im rly happy with 10.10 except flash flickers which is anoying
[11:40] <scotty^> G-Host - click on the Ubuntu symbol on the top left, then click on the second icon from the left (the one that looks like a bookcase) at the bottom of the window, then search for "terminal".  Or hold down Super (the Windows key) and press A, then search for "terminal".
[11:40] <ZenMaster> See if this makesa  difference. Also noticed the cdrom was also on master. But I was getting the same results with the cdrom unplugged going off of usb discs.
[11:40] <JapyDooge> not sure html, i use dropbox for most 'cloud' stuff that i allways want to have with me and i have a vps that i can access from everywhere - didnt really think about different ways lol
[11:40] <TheHackOps> ellipsis, Like me
[11:40] <dr_willis> ellipsis:  clarify what it does do.. oftem people say things 'dont boot' meaning very differnt things
[11:40] <TheHackOps> ellipsis_, Like me allways breaks my system when i update
[11:42] <Ellipsis_> ^^ I didn't even do anything 0.o
[11:42] <}[o0]{> why is an 'upgrade' to pulseaudio forced?
[11:42] <Guest56240> Hi, can someone help me with an Evolution problem?
[11:42] <wizonesolutions> Uhh, so MySQLTuner just said that "none of my MyISAM tables are indexed" (D6). Is it malfunctioning? The DB on this site *does* seem to be a ridiculous bottleneck in comparison to another, but at the same time nothing is showing up in the slow query log so I dunno.
[11:43] <TheHackOps> Lol, forgot i never installed any drivers on this laptop. Silly thing to do since its "ubuntu compatible" meaning all the hardware was built with drivers
[11:43] <html> JapyDooge,  well thats nice , i too have dropbox  but i cant pay for it ,  so is there  way i can make a my own cloud?
[11:43] <JapyDooge> html open port on pc for filesharing and leave it running 24/7? :D
[11:44] <wizonesolutions> html: My friend was looking into this the other day. Let me find the name of the thing he mentioned
[11:44] <dr_willis> html:  ive seen gpl cloud type servers/apps  mentioned on blog sites.. but never tried any.
[11:44] <html> JapyDooge,  to risky
[11:44] <JapyDooge> maybe something is possible using freenas and plugins html, it's nice :) http://www.freenas.org/
[11:44] <dr_willis> html:  theres always ssh and sshfs  which is all i use.
[11:44] <Guest56240> When I try to install Evolution, I get: evolution : Depends: evolution-common (= 3.2.0-0ubuntu2) but 2.32.2-0ubuntu7 is to be installed.  How can I fix this?
[11:45] <wizonesolutions> html: Tonido
[11:45] <wizonesolutions> http://www.tonido.com/
[11:45] <TheHackOps> dr_willis, I forgot to thank you for the other day i got everything all sorted a ok
[11:45] <JapyDooge> Guest56240: you can try a --force switch :) not sure if that will break stuff
[11:45] <taruti> Has anyone got a deb of a backported version of grub2 to 10.04 fixing https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/grub2/+bug/717445 ?
[11:45] <dr_willis> TheHackOps:  :)  i dont even rember the problem.. then again. im not even sure what day of teh week this is...
[11:45] <scotty^> TheHackOps: 11.04 and 11.10 will have a laggy desktop if you are using fglrx drivers.  There is a fix on the way for that.
[11:45] <html> dr_willis,  gpl cloud? means?
[11:46] <dr_willis> html:  open sourced cloud server
[11:46] <TheHackOps> dr_willis, i had no sound
[11:46] <}[o0]{> hey. your upgrade banged my running system. where is my sound? modules are loaded. what happened?
[11:46] <Guest56240> JapyDooge, the --force option doesn't seem to work
[11:47] <TheHackOps> scotty^, Although i would consider my self a nutjob i need this computer to work on call and ubuntu is doing that for me 100% so i will stick to what i have
[11:47] <dr_willis> html:  a quick searcg for gpl dropbox - finds what i was thiniibng of ---> http://downloadsquad.switched.com/2010/06/11/sparkleshare-open-source-dropbox/
[11:47] <html> wizonesolutions,  thanks
[11:47] <TheHackOps> brb gotta restart people just installed atis new driver
[11:48] <JapyDooge> Guest56240 did you upgrade to 11.10?
[11:48] <wizonesolutions> html: dr_willis One thing to keep in mind about SparkleShare, at least last time I checked it, is that it's Git-based, so it may struggle with large/non-text-based files or not be optimal. I think it's under active development though.
[11:48] <Guest56240> JapyDooge, yes
[11:48] <JapyDooge> ahh
[11:48] <JapyDooge> then some old stuff is left behind
[11:48] <JapyDooge> try 'sudo apt-get remove evolution-*'
[11:49] <JapyDooge> and then 'apt-get install evolution' again
[11:49] <dr_willis> wizonesolutions:  never used any of them. :) http://www.tonido.com/  looks interesting however.
[11:49] <Guest56240> JapyDooge, that won't erase my email, will it?
[11:50] <dr_willis> for my needs - i just use dropbox, or ubuntu one. or minux
[11:50] <JapyDooge> nope Guest56240
[11:50] <dr_willis> for my needs - i just use dropbox, or ubuntu one. or minus
[11:50] <JapyDooge> will leave the users personal stuff intact :)
[11:50] <}[o0]{> some other guy: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11332877 <<< needs an answer too.
[11:50] <kints> hey i've just installed ubuntu 11.10 and i'm trying to blacklist nouveau how can i boot in single mode? i've tried to add Single to the line where the kernel seems to be loaded ("linux /boot/vmlinuz....")
[11:50] <kints> but it doesn't work at all
[11:50] <scotty^> kints:  What do you mean by single mode?
[11:51] <JapyDooge> single user mode i guess
[11:51] <dr_willis> UbuntOne really needs to  be marketed more like Tonido is.. :) they are just letting it sort of languish.. :(
[11:51] <kints> JapyDooge: yes, command line
[11:51] <JapyDooge> you have to do it in the grub(2) bootloader kints
[11:51] <israel> server of ubuntu??? his talks english???
[11:51] <ZenMaster> Newer used drives in the rig, cross your fingers. Already the 400gb is not showing up....
[11:51] <JapyDooge> so while booting
[11:51] <kints> scotty^: i need a shell to blacklist nouveau and try to install new nvidia drivers
[11:52] <dr_willis> kints:  theres the 'text' option, or i recall  some special option to not load a specific module like nouveau, but i cant recall how its syntax is.
[11:52] <kints> JapyDooge: i can do it from grub directly ?
[11:52] <JapyDooge> afaik yes
[11:52] <dr_willis> kints:  the  options 'text nosplash noquiet nofb' should be enough to get you toa console at least. :)
[11:52] <JapyDooge> but i'm not sure what the hotkey is to break out of the grub gui into an edit of the boot command
[11:52] <JapyDooge> :/
[11:52] <JapyDooge> everything changed with grub2 lol
[11:53] <dr_willis> JapyDooge:  i think it says at the bottom.. e i belive..
[11:53] <JapyDooge> as an alternative you can try to edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-custom file from a bootable cd/usbstick kints :)
[11:53] <boena> Has anyone got Gmate to work on Ubuntu 11.10? I can't find any of the plugins when I installed and now it doesn't even start anymore?
[11:53] <JapyDooge> there you can just add 'blacklist nouveau'
[11:53] <kints> dr_willis, JapyDooge: thanks. i'll try it out.
[11:53] <JapyDooge> good luck
[11:53] <JapyDooge> i'm afk for a while :)
[11:54] <MrCyberElephant> Hello
[11:55] <Guest56240> JapyDooge, thank you!

[11:56] <Guest37307> r u ther
[11:56] <Guest37307> ???
[11:56] <scotty^> kints: try some of the options described at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions
[11:56] <ZenMaster> Funny one barracuda for another one.
[11:57] <honey> just iam using SMART ups when it charges it works for some time  when the power is gone it works for some hour but when the light is coming it swich of it self is there any solution
[11:58] <ZenMaster> honey: Your English is so broken I have no idea what you are saying. :&*(
[11:58] <dnjaramba> what flavour of linux would be best for an internet startup?
[11:59] <dr_willis> 'internet startup' meaning what exactly?
[11:59] <ZenMaster> RedHat, Ubuntum Suse. Ehehehe. SlakWare.
[11:59] <kints> scotty^: ty i'm checking it
[11:59] <ZenMaster> Solaris, FreeBSD, BSD, Netbsd maybe?
[11:59] <rzec> is there a way to install php 5.3.8 without having to compile it manually?
[11:59] <scotty^> kints: specifically, after pressing any key when the small logo appears at the bottom of your screen, press F4 for modes or F6 for nomodeset and to edit the boot options line which JapyDooge referred to.
[11:59] <dnjaramba> an internet company...
[11:59] <io> !info php5
[12:00] <dr_willis> dnjaramba:  and thats still a bit vague as to what the company is really going to be doing...
[12:00] <root__> Amit
[12:00] <rzec> io: when I try to install php5 on ubuntu 10.04 server I get version 5.3.2
[12:00] <root__> AISH1812
[12:00] <root__> Amit
[12:01] <root__> hi
[12:01] <io> rzec: you should get version 5.3.6, what version of Ubuntu are you using?
[12:01] <html> so is there software or a link, or anything that i can get my hands on  ,in the name of a "cloud"   cuz im tired of waiting for these slow pokes to get a stable version out.  which companies are alread useing , so wheres   it at?
[12:01] <rzec> io: 10.04
[12:01] <dr_willis> html:  perhaps clariufy what you are wanting to do with this cloud exactly?
[12:01] <ZenMaster> Going for a older version of Server.
[12:01] <kints> scotty^: i had to install with nomodeset and noapic cos the cd wouldn't boot. i've set nomodeset and noapic on grub and it loaded.. i've managed now to blacklist nouveau and i'll try to install the newest nvidia drivers
[12:01] <ZenMaster> Still getting the same problems.
[12:02] <honey> ZenMaster: iam sory for my english but what iam saying is i have Smart ups and iam using ubuntu 10.04 but when iam plugin to my ups it shutdown by it self is tehre any configration need in my ubuntu?
[12:02] <ZenMaster> First boot nothingm second boot first time it read the usb stick ran into problems.
[12:03] <kints> do i need to reconfigure compiz  or lightDM ?
[12:03] <ellipsis> can I make a symbolic link to a folder and somehow get the files in dir a to show up in dir b?
[12:03] <dr_willis> bbl
[12:03] <CobraKhan007> compiz kinda broke for me with the upgrade of 11.04 to 11.10
[12:04] <scotty^> kints: not sure about that, but I don't think so.
[12:04] <reinsen> hello everybody, my problem: im running the ubuntu setup and im at the point where it states that ubuntu need 4,4gb free space and optionally an internet connection. i connected an usb wlan stick to my computer but cant find the menu to connect to my wifi
[12:05] <CobraKhan007> kints it broke for me atleast.
[12:05] <rzec> io: I tried using the dotdeb repository but I get a bunch of dependency errors
[12:06] <html> dr_willis,  i want to  do something like pogo plug ,ubuntu one , and dropbox to make something new,
[12:06] <dc5ala> reinsen, that's for downloading updates while installing, you can do that later too
[12:06] <reinsen> but there has to be a possibility to that now, right?
[12:07] <reinsen> *do
[12:07] <boena> exit
[12:07] <kints> hmm. CobraKhan007: ok. i'll try it just like this
[12:07] <glebihan> rzec, dotdeb is for debian not ubuntu, that's why. I don't think you'll find a built package of php 5.3.8 for ubuntu yet (and particularly not for lucid)
[12:08] <dc5ala> reinsen, haven't really done that yet with a wifi stick, but is not something i would worry about :)
[12:08] <reinsen> ok thank you
[12:08] <rzec> well that sucks
[12:08] <glebihan> rzec, any particular reason you need version 5.3.8 ?
[12:08] <CobraKhan007> kints got compiz working with "compiz fusion icon" package
[12:09] <ellipsis> I'd quite like to have two folders on my computer sort of transparently share files, is this possible?
[12:09] <RaTTuS|BIG> ellipsis - ln -s source_dir dest dir
[12:09] <rzec> glebihan: well I want something close to the latest version, 5.3.6 would be fine, 5.3.2 is just really old at this point.
[12:09] <theadmin> ellipsis: Read up on "unionfs"
[12:10] <kints> CobraKhan007: thumbs up. checking it.
[12:10] <joshuau> is there a channel for the developer conference ???
[12:10] <theadmin> joshuau: #ubuntu-devel
[12:10] <rzec> glebihan: I am also looking for mysql 5.5 too (lucid has 5.1)
[12:10] <glebihan> rzec, it's not that old
[12:10] <joshuau> thanx
[12:10] <MonkeyDust> rzec: you need the latest verion for develepment reasons?
[12:10] <MonkeyDust> o
[12:11] <rzec> MonkeyDust: yea, production will have the latest version compiled by hand but I don't know how to do that
[12:12] <rzec> glebihan: 18 old is not that old to you?
[12:12] <rzec> 18  months*
[12:12] <glebihan> rzec, for a server, no it's not
[12:13] <ZenMaster> Here we go Ubuntu 10.04. Lets see if this works. :D
[12:13] <Japy`afk> lol
[12:13] <Japy`afk> ZenMaster: it's good you are a zen master
[12:13]  * Japy`afk runs
[12:13] <theadmin> rzec: Switch to Arch for bleedin' edge ;)
[12:13] <ZenMaster> Not the first time I have seen that one.
[12:13] <ZenMaster> Not the first time I have also had silly problems in *nix. :D
[12:13] <html> dr_willis,  i want to  do something like pogo plug  software , but a better version  , i want to make my own app
[12:13] <JapyDooge> lol
[12:13] <rzec> theadmin: how do I do that?
[12:14] <glebihan> rzec, if you want more recent version of the packages, then don't stick with the LTS release (though IMO it's the best choice for a server)
[12:14] <ZenMaster> Perseverence is what wins in the end. :D
[12:14] <JapyDooge> now thats true ZenMaster
[12:14] <theadmin> rzec: lol, you download Arch and install it -- it's another distro. Not even closely Ubuntu-related, but it's one of the first that gets all the latest software (e.g.: we had gnome3 on the day it was released :P)
[12:14] <ZenMaster> There is a reason also this rig is called TinCan5.
[12:14] <html> 10.04  is  far better then unity!!
[12:14] <JapyDooge> but i'm not so zen.. usually :P back in the day i did destroy quite some hardware because i got too heat up at it not working :P
[12:14] <ZenMaster> The first version had like 8 20-40gig hard drives and two PSU's in a old Packad Bell machine.
[12:14] <rzec> theadmin: oh
[12:15] <JapyDooge> Arch linux is nice :) but i wouldnt use it on production systems - but thats a choice
[12:15] <JapyDooge> on production systems i run freebsd nowadays
[12:15] <ZenMaster> Yeah.
[12:15] <ZenMaster> Same here.
[12:15] <ZenMaster> Or Open, or Net pending on what fer. :D
[12:16] <kints> ffs, lightdm is not beeing able to load "fallback graphic devices" does someone knows where can i see logs?
[12:16] <JapyDooge> yea i like open because of its security stuff, but the package selection is very outdated ^^
[12:16] <ZenMaster> However, I think I may have to chalk this poor machine up to faulty hardware. I think it is about done.
[12:16] <JapyDooge> poor machine :9
[12:16] <JapyDooge> :(
[12:16] <theadmin> lol, freeBSD... Was unable to install it, sysinstall is *weird*
[12:16] <JapyDooge> thats true
[12:16] <ZenMaster> Last thing I could really do is try the USB on the back of the machine I guess.
[12:17] <JapyDooge> i also take the full version download also, netinstall doesnt work most of the time lol
[12:17] <JapyDooge> lol ZenMaster
[12:17] <ZenMaster> I have two other machines but they are half of the system that this one is. This would be my fastest personal server at 3.0ghz.
[12:17] <JapyDooge> combine them
[12:17] <JapyDooge> :D
[12:17] <ZenMaster> The other two machines are sempron 1.5ghz 1gb memory. :&*(
[12:17] <JapyDooge> with ductape
[12:18] <ZenMaster> Uhhh, I need cigs. I am about to walk this one off the 1\4 mile to the store.
[12:18] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[12:18] <scotty^> rzec: Oneiric has php 5.3.6-13ubuntu3.2  and Precise already has php 5.3.8-2ubuntu1
[12:18] <ZenMaster> This machine was running 11.04 with 2d Unity. Then all of the sudden started becoming unstable.
[12:19] <kints> CobraKhan007: X server doesn't seem to start, i've blacklisted nouveau already and i tried to apt-get nvidia-current.
[12:20] <kints> i'm getting "no display devices found for this X screen / screen found but no usable configuration".
[12:20] <html> ZenMaster,  whats your ram?
[12:20] <CobraKhan007> kints hmm, maybe check at nvidia site which driver you need.
[12:20] <BluesKaj> kints, . sudo apt-get install nvidia-current ?
[12:21] <MonkeyDust> kints: what's the output of glxinfo|grep render?
[12:21] <html> ZenMaster,  did u update recently?
[12:21] <kints> <BluesKaj: that's what i've done but when i type nvidia-detector i get the answer "none"
[12:21] <starlon> how can I resize /dev/loop0? I have plenty of drive space, but /dev/loop0 is only 29gb
[12:22] <kints> MonkeyDust : i dont have glxinfo isntalled
[12:22] <MonkeyDust> ok
[12:22] <CobraKhan007> as far as i know there's a driver for consumer cards and 1 for professional cards(like the Quadtro vid cards.
[12:22] <kints> CobraKhan007: should i wget the driver ?
[12:22] <BluesKaj> kints, that nvidia-detector command doesn't work
[12:22] <MonkeyDust> kints: sudo apt-get install glxinfo; glxinfo|grep renderer
[12:22] <CobraKhan007> sry idk, no experience with those
[12:23] <scotty^> kints: open /var/log/dmesg in a text editor
[12:23] <kints> MonkeyDust: unable to locate package
[12:23] <kints> i've apt-get upgrade / update already
[12:24] <ellipsis> RaTTuS|BIG, I tried  ln -s source_dir dest dir, however it just lists a bunch of files in the two locations. I've never got this to work :/
[12:24] <JapyDooge> starlon: maybe with the Gparted boot cd :) i use that one a lot
[12:24] <glebihan> kints, that command is actually in the meas-utils package
[12:24] <ellipsis> theadmin, I'll look into it, it just seems very tricky to set up for such a "simple" thing.
[12:24] <glebihan> mesa-utils
[12:24] <cabpa> hi, i want to ask what to do when linux or unix hangs? or is there a key combination to raise top in terminal to see and kill which processess are hanging?
[12:25] <kints> glebihan: thanks
[12:25] <BluesKaj> kints have donr the nomodeset line in /etc/default/grub ?
[12:25] <ellipsis> cabpa, you can try pressing ctl+alt+f1-F10, these are terminals. Press ctl+alt+f7 to get back to normal.
[12:25] <ellipsis> it dosn't always work though.
[12:26] <kints> scotty^: what can i see with those logs? i've tried to open another terminal and tail -f the file to see what happens when i startx but nothing goes to that log
[12:26] <ellipsis> when the computer really freezes the ctl+alt+f trick dosn't always work.
[12:26] <BluesKaj> !nomodeset | kints
[12:27] <kints> BluesKaj: should i add it ? i've loaded with nomodeset
[12:28] <kints> BlueKaj: when i loaded i've added nomodeset to the kernel boot options
[12:28] <ellipsis> RaTTuS|BIG, Sorry, ln does work to link them. However when I link folders I get a link inside the folder to the other, I'd like the all the files to be "in the same place" so as to let programs find the files for either place checking just the one folder.
[12:28] <cabpa> thank u ellipsis, so by pressing clt+alt+f1 to F10 will to another terminal. how will you see your processes in your first terminal session
[12:28] <kints> MonkeyDust: it goes Error: Unable to open display
[12:29] <cabpa> thank u ellipsis, so by pressing clt+alt+f1 to F10 will to another terminal. how will you see your processes in your first terminal session/
[12:29] <bzrk> hi everyone, does anybody happen to know how to install kde(kubuntu) via preseed command instead of the standard ubuntu gnome desktop?
[12:29] <cabpa> thank u ellipsis, so by pressing clt+alt+f1 to F10 will to another terminal. how will you see your processes in your first terminal session?
[12:29] <ellipsis> cablop, You just said that 3 times.
[12:29] <JapyDooge> he made two typo's
[12:29] <JapyDooge> xD
[12:29] <ellipsis> ah ^^
[12:29] <scotty^> kints: There is all sorts of stuff in dmesg, including stuff about graphics.  But you seem to be saying that dmesg is not being created.  So just give us the basic graphics info for now - to concatenate what a few other folk said - "sudo apt-get install mesa-utils" then "glxinfo |grep render"
[12:30] <ellipsis> I didn't notice
[12:30] <BluesKaj> kernel boot options kints , how ?
[12:30] <ellipsis> cablop, You will do ctl+alt+f1 to get a terminal then from their you can log in and kill the process messing stuff up. To return to normal you then press ctl+alt+f7
[12:30] <kints> BlueKaj: i've edited grub on the line /boot/linux .... i've added nomodeset and noapic
[12:31] <cablop> wait wait, about what?
[12:31] <kints> scotty^: yes i've installed it and run glxinfo with grep render and got an error "Unable to open display"
[12:31] <kints> btw, thanks in advance for all the help
[12:31] <cablop> no, cabpa is nother user ellipsis
[12:31] <robjensen82> Hi there, how would I see what is currently being downloaded by my machine from a terminal?
[12:32] <BluesKaj> kints, it's gotta be in /etc/default/grub,  afiak , then you have to run sudo update-grub to make it stick
[12:32] <cabpa> thank you ellipsis, i will try that
[12:33] <kints> BluesKaj: i just add nomodeset in the eof ?
[12:33] <glebihan> BluesKaj, it's also possible to do that at boot time, which seems to be what kints did
[12:34] <ellipsis> cabpa, I'm not sure how good you are with terminal but I'd like to point out that it's worth writing down or learning how to kill a process before your computer crashes.
[12:34] <BluesKaj> glebihan, it's not the same , but if you think what he did works then fine , I'll leave it alone
[12:34] <ellipsis> cabpa, do you know how?
[12:34] <tresorine> hello
[12:35] <glebihan> BluesKaj, it's not the same as it doesn't make it permanent, apart from that it should have the same behavior
[12:35] <tresorine> i have just install ubuntu 10.04 on my old macintosh
[12:35] <tresorine> fine
[12:35] <starlon> Should this be larger? 30G -rwxrwxrwx 2 root root 30G 2011-11-03 07:35 /host/ubuntu/disks/root.disk
[12:35] <kandinski> my wacom tablet is detected beautifully except for the pressure sensing, how can I diagnose it? Thanks!
[12:36] <starlon> Meaning normally. Something's got me squished into 28gb and my disk is much larger.
[12:36] <kints> BluesKaj: if i add it in the end of file when i update grub i get an error
[12:37] <cabpa> yes ellipsis, i just tried now with ctl+alt+F1. i see all the processes of my first session
[12:37] <scotty^> kints: OK, so no drivers are loading at all.  Sounds like you need to persist with the "sudo apt-get install nvidia-current" command and get that working.  I've also heard that an alternative way is to run jockey in text mode by typing jockey-text at the command prompt, but I've not tried this.
[12:37] <cabpa> then ctl+al+F7 to go back to my first session
[12:37] <BluesKaj> kint's it has to be with the qoutes and also removing quiet splash works in some cases too.
[12:37] <cabpa> thank you very much ellipsis
[12:39] <judh> how can i uninstall an installed software through terminal of ubuntu?
[12:39] <lubuntu214> Is there a command that lists all software you installed after fresh install?
[12:39] <JapyDooge> judh: aptitude install <packagename> or aptitude remove <packagename>
[12:39] <cablop> judh: sudo apt-get install|remove
[12:39] <BluesKaj> judh, sudo apt-get remove nameofpackge
[12:40] <reval> I have an odd question, in ubuntu when I record something, and hit stop after I am done talking, the recordings tend to cut out the last bit of what I said, is this common?
[12:41] <Guest85706> hello everyone, where could I get support for my integrated webcam?
[12:42] <scotty^> kints:  If it does nothing except print "Searching for available drivers..." then try jockey-text --update-db to Query driver databases for newly available or updated drivers.
[12:42] <kints> scotty^: if i apt-get again nvidia current i get that i already have the newest version
[12:42] <vani> hi everyone , ant is compiling but build fail plz any body tell that problem
[12:43] <Leon_32> hello everybody
[12:43] <Leon_32> where can I get support for my integrated webcam?
[12:43] <reval> vani: people would need more information than that to solve your problem, you should take the output from it failing, put it in pastebin.com, and perhaps give a link to that.
[12:43] <pongo> query \pongo
[12:44] <starlon> Oh seems my problem of 30gb for loop0 is I installed with wubi. Will replace this with a real install.
[12:44]  * starlon sighs.

[12:44] <ryann> i have an ubuntu box that, only recently (twice), has just completely frozen up overnight.  the next morning, the keyboard is unresponsive, nothing on screen, but the hardware is powered.  i don't see signs of a kernel panic, and nothing in syslog.  anyplace else i can investigate?
[12:44] <cabpa> ellipsis, i want to ask again if there is no graphical top software that is currently under development where you can invoke inside your session?
[12:44] <JapyDooge> wibu can cause nasty problems with upgrades
[12:44] <kints> scotty^: it was only searching i've tried to update-db and it remains the same i've tried also with -a
[12:44] <starlon> yeah I upgraded the other day
[12:45] <CobraKhan007> scotty kints said he has the nvidia quadro nvs295 gfx card.

[12:58] <Tech-1> ok bluesjKaj, ill give that a shot
[12:59] <Tech-1> html-  are you ok over there ?
[13:00] <html> Tech-1,  because of amd , they though of making so you can run full 32 bit and 64 bit next toeach other so your ok
[13:00] <BluesKaj> Tech-1, open your package manager , type multiarch to see if it's available
[13:01] <jbwiv___> guys, I have a brand new dell latitude e5420. 11.10 runs fine on it when it's on battery power, but when I plug it into ac power, kworker processes go crazy and eat lots of cpu, essentially dragging the system to its knees. I've tried 3.0 and 3.1 kernels and both exhibit this behavior. I only have access to this machine for a limited time, but want to do everything I can to troubleshoot while I have it to help others. any ideas wha
[13:01] <html> Tech-1,  im tired but i will try to finish ,  your my last ppl of the day
[13:01] <ajah> i run 11.10 in ubuntu 2d session from Displays i can change resolution why i that
[13:01] <Tech-1> BluesKaj-  the 'binutils' package ?
[13:01] <qmr> lolwut
[13:01] <qmr> jbwiv___: try old kernel?
[13:02] <BluesKaj> Tech-1, dunno what it would be for 10.10 , because it's default on 11.10
[13:02] <Tech-1> ya, probably not
[13:02] <jbwiv___> qmr: no, i haven't. should i? where can I  find old kernel builds for 11.10?
[13:02] <Tech-1> its a binutils multiarch pkge here
[13:03] <Tech-1> BluesKaj-  lemme give you a skinny of what happened
[13:03] <ajah> can someone what is call the side pade with live search on 11.10

[13:04] <html> Tech-1,  are you ready
[13:05] <Tech-1> flash was working just fine..then.like an idiot i installed 'flash-aid' in ff to try adobe beta..thats when it broke, so, i uninstalled all thr proper pkg's and re installed them, flash works, but when i fast foward, the sound goes but the video portion stays stuck in place.
[13:05] <BluesKaj> Tech-1, ok that makes sense, a bin utils optional pkg ..I would try it , if it doesn't work you can always remove it
[13:05] <JapyDooge> lol wtf Tech-1 :P @ fast forward bug
[13:05] <M0TRN_th1> does anyone know a software+gateway to send SMS messages from Ubuntu? It doesn't have to be a free gateway but the software should be free..
[13:06] <Tech-1> ok BluesKaj  , will do, thanks.
[13:06] <html> Tech-1,  im guessing you need to uninstall everything  of flash related
[13:06] <jason___> SWEET. gparted isnt opening.
[13:06] <BluesKaj> Tech-1, flash can help some cases , but lately it's hit or miss
[13:06] <BluesKaj> flash -aid that is
[13:07] <Tech-1> BluesKaj-  ya, its pretty picky and unstable some times..
[13:08] <jason___> guys. why is gparted such a brat.
[13:08] <jason___> SO many releases now gparted has been farting around to open properly
[13:08] <BluesKaj> jason___, the app or the livecd?
[13:08] <jason___> the app
[13:08] <scotty^> ajah: I believe it's called the launcher
[13:08] <scotty^> \
[13:08] <jason___> whether I open via gui, terminal, you name it.
[13:08] <BluesKaj> jason___, what are you trying to do ?
[13:08] <jason___> BluesKaj: well, I'm trying to open gparted......
[13:08] <jason___> that;s it. just open it.
[13:09] <jason___> I want to launch gparted and utilize it.
[13:09] <JapyDooge> lol
[13:09] <html> Tech-1,  http://www.techdrivein.com/2010/10/9-things-i-did-after-installing-brand.html   read this ,  while you wait ,
[13:09] <JapyDooge> hm never had problems with gparted but didnt play around with the latest ubuntu versions
[13:09] <JapyDooge> livecd allways does the job for me
[13:09] <jason___> it seems to be random
[13:09] <jason___> I shouldnt have to use a livecd to format a flash drive
[13:09] <jason___> I just shouldnt
[13:09] <BluesKaj> you can't resize or do much with it on the drive you're using , jason___
[13:09] <scotty^> M0TRN_th1 - there are a few web-based ones, such as SMSpup
[13:10] <Tech-1> thanks for the help html
[13:10] <jason___> BluesKaj: I really hate to sound like this, but what is it thats misunderstood? I'm trying to OPEN gparted. Period.
[13:10] <jason___> BluesKaj: I know what I'm doing from there. I just need to open it.

[13:14] <Zedd_> Hello.
[13:14] <IZA> hi, i tried to bring over my ubuntu install to another laptop by just copying the data to the same partition layout (+editing fstab and grub.cfg). for some reason i only get an grub rescue prompt, no menus or ability to type in the grub commands manually. can anyone tell how to fix that problem resp. how to recreate the whole /boot-grub environment including kernel and initrds? thx
[13:14] <BluesKaj> jason___, didn't mean to insult your knowledge , but we get lots of ppl trying partiton a mounted disc. maybe purge gparted and reinstall it
[13:15] <Zedd_> I ust installed 11.10 and i can't access system settings, or software center.
[13:15] <Zedd_> And my wireless network, but that's another story.
[13:15] <Zedd_> Is there a trick to opening settings?
[13:15] <jason___> BluesKaj: I did purge it :(
[13:16] <jason___> BluesKaj: for some reason my mac isnt liking the fat flash drive I formatted with ubuntu's disk utility, so I wanted to try gparted for comparative reasons.
[13:16] <juril> Zedd_, click on top right edge of the screen.. then System Settings..
[13:16] <Zedd_> juril, that's what i did.
[13:16] <jason___> BluesKaj: it opens fine on my other laptop. both are 11.10
[13:16] <Zedd_> It "thinks", hdd goes lit, and.. nothing.
[13:18] <BluesKaj> jason___, ok, I'm not up to date on mac/ubuntu installs
[13:19] <jason___> BluesKaj: I'm dealing with 3 laptops here, 1 mac 2 ubuntu. of the 2 ubuntu, one opens gparted, one does not.
[13:19] <phaidros> how do I set an env variable in an upstart script?
[13:19] <Zedd_> Oh, also, how do you open system settings from console?
[13:19] <pflores> join #sugar
[13:21] <html> Tech-1,  are you still there?
[13:21] <BluesKaj> jason___, do they have cdroms? seems the flash drive versions of partition managers are clunky vs their livecd counterparts
[13:21] <juril> Zedd_, gnome-control-center
[13:22] <BluesKaj> especially gparted, jason___
[13:22] <Zedd_> juril,  thanks
[13:23] <Akiraa> I am trying to output to a timestamp folder, like so: TIMESTAMP=`cat last_timestamp.txt` , where last_timestamp.txt is a file containing some text and then: cat hello world > logs/"${TIMESTAMP}"/hello.txt gives me "/hello.txt: No such file or directory6"
[13:23] <Akiraa> the folder 'logs' exists and so does the folder $TIMESTAMP
[13:23] <phlak_user> Zed`, gnome-control-center
[13:23] <phlak_user> IZA, you need to run grub-install
[13:23] <phlak_user> IZA, copy /etc/default/grub from the old laptop
[13:24] <hhlp> hi... how i can know if i'm running ubuntu server or desktop uname -a and lsb_release are too similar
[13:24] <Zedd_> phlak_user, yeah, already got that. Didn't do anything either.
[13:25] <[_margoo_]> hi
[13:25] <lubuntu214> ubuntu
[13:25] <lubuntu214> best distro around
[13:26] <omegalimit> i agree
[13:26] <lubuntu214> Lubuntu best lightweight redistribution around!
[13:26] <lubuntu214> :)
[13:26] <lubuntu214> LXDE lightening FAST!
[13:27] <viliny> Hello! Third day of trying to make my audio work in ubuntu. Im currently on amd64 10.04 LTS server edition ubuntu and everything seems ok in options and according to troubleshooting seems fine... just can't get any audio out of the box.
[13:27] <viliny> Any ubuntu pros here today?
[13:27] <[_margoo_]> yes
[13:27] <viliny> yesterday i had 11.10 but i switched to this one in hopes that it would work
[13:28] <viliny> i installed  the server, then gnome-core and after realizing i don't know what half the packages i usually use in gnome are called i also installed ubuntu-desktop
[13:28] <lubuntu214> viliny I'd use the commands to list your audio hardware then search for it in repository and the web for install files or fixes.
[13:28] <Pumpkin-> hhlp: there are very few differences between server/desktop. use dpkg -l and check which of linux-image-server or linux-image-generic is installed. That said, you can easily turn desktop into server by just installing the correct packages
[13:28] <jason___> BluesKaj: not sure I understand. I'm using gparted on the actual laptop...
[13:29] <viliny> lubuntu214, i apparently have a ALC887-VD on this thing, exhausted google trying to find help for my problem
[13:29] <lubuntu214> viliny you only need ubuntu server if you intend to do websites, ftp, email...etc.. hosting from your PC
[13:29] <zedd_> can't open user accounts either... i has a sad.
[13:29] <viliny> lubuntu214, i intend to do just that
[13:29] <lubuntu214> okay then your good
[13:29] <viliny> lubuntu214, my old box did that for 3 years and also acted as a router and dhcp for the rest of the house
[13:30] <lubuntu214> cool
[13:30] <zedd_> and no sound settings either... so basically i can't open anything related to any setting.
[13:30] <zedd_> ever
[13:30] <viliny> this one however is placed conveniently next to a 42" screen in the living room as seeing as it's also acting as our file server i thought it'd work as a media center in a pinch
[13:30] <lubuntu214> yeah pc hardwared router always best option
[13:30] <lubuntu214> that's what old pcs are good for
[13:30] <lubuntu214> always about recycling!
[13:31] <[_margoo_]> I use ubuntu 11.04
[13:31] <[_margoo_]> and it work
[13:31] <[_margoo_]> works*
[13:31] <Tech-1> i'm ok now html   thank you.
[13:31] <viliny> this is quite new, amd phenom x2 on a microatx mobo and junk, 8gb of ram and this is all placed in a tupperware box that has fan holes and fans carved along the sides ;)
[13:31] <m477> how to evaluate what windows manager do i use?
[13:31] <lubuntu214> sorry viliny I can't help you with your audio problem hopes someone else can!
[13:31] <deej1976> dender: uname -r server gave me: 2.6.35-30-server desktop gave me 2.6.38-12-generic
[13:32] <viliny> i would really like my sound to start working today
[13:32] <html> did you  fix it
[13:32] <viliny> seeing as i already wasted 2 days on it :(
[13:32] <viliny> just hoping that one semigod who knows everything will show up and fix my life for me
[13:32] <html> Tech-1, did you fix it. and did my help get u there
[13:32] <Tech-1> somewhat
[13:34] <[_margoo_]> maybe do you update for ubuntu 11.04?
[13:34] <viliny> id probably give a pci sound card a try if it werent that this was a microatx and im out of slots due to the extra network card for routing
[13:34] <Tech-1> html- , just a word of wisdom.. try not to send people to sites w/ppa installs, new beginners don't have enough experience with non ubuntu files.
[13:35] <viliny> so if someone here is an expert in linux alsa please help me :p
[13:35] <Sidewinder1> m477, You may wish to look here: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/xfce
[13:36] <morsnowski> anyone helping me with permissions ?
[13:36] <Sidewinder1> m477, That site contains a look at many different desktops.
[13:36] <milligan_> Got an nvidia geforce G210 in my comp now. It has a DMI, HDMI and a VGA port. It detects two connected monitors, but when I try to enable the second one, it claims to be OK,but the monitor doesn't detect a connection. I've connected monitors to the VGA and the DVI port. Could it be that it's trying to use the monitor via the HDMI slot? and if so, how can I fix it so that it uses the DVI and the VGA port ?
[13:37] <morsnowski> why would "sudo chmod -R a=rw /media/truecrypt4/" not change permissions for that folder and it's children
[13:37] <WaltherFI> What kind of devices will be supported by the Ubuntu ARM builds? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11421007#post11421007
[13:37] <m477> Sidewinder1: i want to check which i use
[13:38] <Sidewinder1> m477, Please, be my guest. :D
[13:38] <m477> ?
[13:39] <Sidewinder1> m477, That site also contains many "how-to"s..
[13:39] <ZenMaster> Could it be that there is really something wrong with all the hardware in this machine that I am trying to use? Two different USB sticks, a Cd and different USB ports.
[13:39] <m477> brilliant
[13:39] <Sidewinder1> m477, Actually, the entire site is dedicated to: How-To!
[13:39] <ZenMaster> And each install of server I try, random files do not work. And it is different with each attempt. :*(
[13:40] <ZenMaster> Quite frustrating, I'm about to put Windows 8 on this machine just to see if that works......
[13:40] <ZenMaster> Don't let me do that.
[13:40] <m477> Sidewinder1: you gave me tutorial how to instal Xfce ...
[13:41] <ZenMaster> Oh yeah, I failed to mention that I have tried different hard drives also.
[13:41] <Sidewinder1> m477, I thought you were asking about various desktops? If I misunderstood (not that unusual, these days), I apologize.
[13:42] <ZenMaster> I think Ubuntu truly truly does not like this hardware. And I think that I am done for the night. This has been a fun 8hr ordeal with no results.
[13:42] <m477> Sidewinder1: no, i want to check if i use compiz or something else right now
[13:42] <ZenMaster> The funny thing is? I had the desktop installed on there fine before it started getting unstable due to a update.
[13:42] <saff> hello
[13:42] <compdoc> ZenMaster, there are things to look for on the motherboard and inside the PSU, as well as the hard drive itself
[13:43] <Toph2> zendeavor,,, i'm about done with 11.10 myself,,, my sound doesn't work, often on boot, my mouse is froze, etc
[13:43] <Sidewinder1> m477, My humblest apologies. :)
[13:43] <zendeavor> ZenMaster: ^^
[13:43] <zendeavor> i assume you meant ZenMaster and not zendeavor
[13:43] <ZenMaster> I tried almost every version of Ubuntu server tonight. :*(
[13:43] <ZenMaster> Ehehe.
[13:43] <wangyunbing> 1631
[13:44] <zendeavor> ZenMaster: windows version anything is not the answer you're looking for
[13:44] <ZenMaster> For instance, right now I booted the machine right off the cdrom. And it has crashed on the first screen.
[13:44] <m477> Sidewinder1: no problem, however do you know that?
[13:44] <ZenMaster> I might do it again, and it will get to the part were grub installs, but won't install it.
[13:44] <zendeavor> ZenMaster: anyway, what is it going on
[13:44] <ZenMaster> Short of changing the memory, and motherboard I ahve no idea.
[13:45] <ZenMaster> I can't get a version of Ubuntu server on my machine.
[13:45] <zendeavor> have you tried a memtest, sorted the power supply?
[13:45] <zendeavor> you don't want ubuntu server anyway, if you can avoid it :)
[13:45] <ZenMaster> Tried Memtest, Cd Test, HDD TEST.
[13:45] <ZenMaster> Well I'm trying to keep things simple for some other admins.
[13:45] <ZenMaster> And I like to try new things every now and then,.
[13:46] <zendeavor> i'm biased so i'll keep my mouth shut
[13:46] <ZenMaster> Swapped hard drives out. Really personally if I have to change any more hardware out I might as well put it on another machine.
[13:46] <ZenMaster> I even turned Hyper Threading off.
[13:46] <Sidewinder1> m477, If you're on 11.10 or Natty, I can't help very much; 10.04, here.. :-(
[13:47] <phlak_user> ZenMaster, did you do an md5sum of the image
[13:47] <m477> Sidewinder1: im on 10.04
[13:47] <Sidewinder1> m477, OK, please state again, exactly what you're trying to do.
[13:47] <ZenMaster> No, but I would assume that straight from the Ubuntu WebSite the files would be ok.
[13:48] <m477> Sidewinder1: ehh i want to check which window manager im using right now
[13:48] <ZenMaster> phlak_user: Is this to confirm that my files are not corrupt?
[13:48] <phlak_user> ZenMaster, yes
[13:48] <zendeavor> ZenMaster: never assume the image is okay
[13:48] <m477> Sidewinder1: if is it compiz or whatever
[13:48] <zendeavor> downloads can get corrupted too easily
[13:49] <Sidewinder1> m477, Desktop or server?
[13:49] <ZenMaster> If this is true, I will be kicking myself in the ass.
[13:49] <ZenMaster> How do I go about doing this? :D
[13:49] <m477> Sidewinder1: desktop...
[13:50] <zendeavor> in fact i downloaded an image of crunchbang for a job i was doing on a netbook and the sha256sum checked out, but when i dd it to the external hdd the hash was wrong there
[13:50] <zendeavor> ZenMaster: md5sum /path/to/iso
[13:50] <ajah> how is called this side bar on 11.10
[13:51] <evfool> unity
[13:51] <evfool> ajah: unity
[13:51] <predat0r> hi
[13:51] <ZenMaster> zendeavor I am in Windows. :D
[13:51] <zendeavor> ZenMaster: i'm sorry for your misfortunes
[13:51] <phlak_user> ZenMaster, and compare it to the one on the website
[13:51] <jasef> !md5 | ZenMaster
[13:51] <Sidewinder1> m477, If you go to System -->Preferences--> Control Center and look under "Look and Feel" you may find a clue there; sorry, I'm certain there's an easier/quicker way, via CLI, but I stink at CLI. :-(
[13:51] <jasef> ZenMaster, the last link says how to md5sum in Windows
[13:52] <Sidewinder1> m477, BRB, more coffee..
[13:52] <ZenMaster> zendeavor: That is a almost E|itest attitude. This install of Windows has brought me lots of pleasure via games, and made me lots of money via recording and video editing.
[13:52] <ZenMaster> But yeah, my misfortune, I guess those things are evil. :D
[13:53] <zendeavor> just read the link you were given
[13:53] <zendeavor> i'm back to my other channels now
[13:53] <predat0r> some "is not in sudoers file" posts advice to boot in recovery mode and run visudo.. but it says read-only file system. Any idea?
[13:53] <b0ot> Could I use a live version of ubuntu to safetly resize my harddrive (currently fully used for centos6) and then add a new partition ?
[13:53] <sanity> a process on my server was automatically killed, possibly due to excessive memory usage.  is there a log that will confirm why it was killed and when?
[13:53] <ZenMaster> I am reading the link I was given.
[13:54] <phlak_user> sanity, the most common messages are under /var/log/syslog
[13:55] <sanity> phlak_user: k, i'll check - thanks
[13:55] <m477> Sidewinder1:  i dont see something like Control Center
[13:55] <phlak_user> sanity, if the process was part of an application, that app might have its own log (eg mysql, apache etc etc)
[13:55] <sanity> phlak_user: nah, it was my own java process
[13:56] <phlak_user> predat0r, you need to remount the root filesystem as rw
[13:56] <jason___> Anybody have any idea why I can't open GParted on 11.10? I have two 11.10 laptops but 1 can open gparted, 1 cannot. The one that cannot I updated and upgraded everything. Still it won't work. It also doesn't work from terminal either. Any ideas?
[13:56] <phlak_user> b0ot, yes, but first back all important data up to an external media
[13:57] <phlak_user> jason___, if you try running gparted from terminal it might show some messages
[13:58] <viliny> still no sound... i tried the desktop version off a usb real quick with no difference
[13:58] <jason___> phlak_user: what messages are you looking for?
[13:58] <viliny> anyone here good at fixing sound in linux?
[13:59] <predat0r> phlak_user: thx, why went to read only mode, some sercurity issue?
[13:59] <phlak_user> jason___, anything that the program throws up to the stderr
[13:59] <phlak_user> predat0r, thats the default behavior
[13:59] <predat0r> i see
[13:59] <jason___> phlak_user: when I run gksudo gparted, it just never opens, and it returns my prompt. I get no error message. Ia lso get no error message in syslog.
[13:59] <navabi_> i have error in scorby setup ... http://pastebin.com/EwtPj0Eq see this error, i use  ubuntu 11.10 / also i check debian live disk but i have same problem
[14:00] <predat0r> see ya
[14:00] <Sidewinder1> m477, Well, it's certainly in my Preferences; perhaps it's a "left-over from my upgrade from Hardy to Lucid; either that or, it was installed automatically when I installed compiz; which might be a clue for you, in and of itself.
[14:00] <jasef> jason___, what happens when you run 'sudo gparted &' ?
[14:00] <phlak_user> navabi_, you need to ask in #ruby
[14:01] <jason___> phlak_user: [1] 2111
[14:01] <navabi_> thanks phlak_user
[14:01] <navabi_> ;?)
[14:01] <navabi_> ;)
[14:01] <zagibu> jasef: it runs gparted with root rights and the console is not blocked
[14:01] <ZenMaster> Well. Just did the md5sum.
[14:01] <ZenMaster> To no avail. They are the same.
[14:01] <zagibu> jasef: if you omit the & at the end, the console is blocked until gparted is closed
[14:01] <phlak_user> jason___, dont add the & at the end; the idea is to run it in foreground and catch any messages
[14:02] <ZenMaster> I think Ubuntu does not like this hardware. :&*(
[14:02] <Sidewinder1> m477, IE: if it was an addon to compiz, perhaps you're not running compiz, sorry to be so cryptic.
[14:02] <ZenMaster> Bed time now good night.
[14:02] <jasef> zagibu, -.- I know what the command does, that's why I said to run it.
[14:02] <jason___> phlak_user: k, got an error.
[14:02] <phlak_user> jason___, ok
[14:02] <zagibu> ah, sorry
[14:02] <m477> Sidewinder1: i have installed compiz
[14:02] <jason___> phlak_user: /usr/bin/gpartedbin: error while loading shared libraries. libgtkmm-2.4.so.1: cannot open shared object file. no such file or directory
[14:02] <zagibu> it was the first line in my chat window :)
[14:02] <jasef> zagibu, lol, okay :P
[14:03] <jasef> zagibu, either way. I'm sleepy, and might go back to bed
[14:03] <zagibu> go back to sleep
[14:03] <Sidewinder1> m477, Now I really don't understand; if you installed compiz, that's probably what you're running, no?
[14:03] <phlak_user> jason___, now you know what to do; just install libgtkmm
[14:04] <phlak_user> !info libgtkmm-2.4-1c2a
[14:04] <m477> Sidewinder1: i turned  it off in tweak ubuntu, but i dont see difference so that's why i want to check it
[14:04] <jason___> phlak_user: shouldnt that be a dependency thats automatically pulled down?
[14:04] <phlak_user> jason___, that also shows you prbably just copied gparted over and didnt really install it?
[14:04] <jason___> phlak_user: sudo apt-get install gparted.....
[14:04] <jason___> phlak_user: I also did an apt-get remove --purge gparted and reinstalled it to try and correct it
[14:05] <Sidewinder1> m477, Shows you what I know (or actually what I don't), I thought tweak was for 11.04 and 11.10..
[14:05] <ajah> when i set in ccsm reveal mode of unity on bottom doesn`t work whats wrong
[14:05] <phlak_user> jason___, curious!, wonder what you would get if you ran a sudo apt-get install on that package libgtkmm
[14:06] <jason___> phlak_user: well, I was going to try that, but it couldnt find it when I typed it in exactly as the error put out. So I searched synaptic for libgtkmm, I'm searching through the files right now.
[14:06] <jason___> phlak_user: I have about 10 packages listed. two are installed. libgtkmm 3.0.1, and 2.4.1c2a
[14:06] <urlin2u> ajah, you can't move the unity panel.
[14:06] <jason___> phlak_user: I'm not sure what to install...
[14:06] <Stava> When buying a laptop for use with ubuntu, does it matter whether it has nvidia or ati gfx?
[14:06] <phlak_user> jason___, 2.4-1c2a
[14:07] <milligan_> Stava, get nvidia if you can.
[14:07] <ajah> urlin2u, doesnt show at all only when i click windows key it show up on left side
[14:07] <Stava> milligan_, alright, thanks
[14:07] <jason___> Stava: normally not. normally graphics drivers are decent for both companies. I tend to stick with nvidia, though. I have a newer laptop with an ati hd 6250 in it and I had trouble getting hdmi to show to the tv on it, but I'm also on 11.10, where some ati bugs surfaced, so theyre still being fixed.
[14:07] <B0g4r7_> Do any of you know how I can access the menus in Chromium?  They don't appear at the top of the window like in other apps.  I'm running natty with Classic Desktop.
[14:07] <urlin2u> ajah, there is a trigger point that is controlled in the unity plugin.
[14:07] <jason___> phlak_user: but that's already installed. I'll do a reinstall of it...
[14:07] <phlak_user> jason___, somethings broken there
[14:08] <Stava> jason_, I've never used ati before, and nvidia has worked without problems, so I'll stick with that
[14:08] <jason___> phlak_user: going to do a reinstall of it. if it doesnt work, I'll purge it and re-add it.
[14:08] <ajah> urlin2u, where to find this
[14:08] <phlak_user> jason___, ok
[14:08] <jason___> Stava: honestly, that'd be the safest bet. I hate to cut out ATI's legs by not suggesting them because they DO do a good job. but given the choice, nvidia has been a little less headache infatuated in my experience. Not to say ATI isn't a good choice, but they also haven't been 100% perfect either. (then again, what company is?)
[14:09] <urlin2u> ajah, I have found the unity panel to be as irritating as any other autohide panel you have to tweak it to your liking. The unity-plugin is in the compizconfig manager ccsm
[14:09] <jason___> Stava: I did a recent build for an Ubuntu 11.10 based HTPC, and I went Nvidia. I heavily considered ATI but I'm very happy with my choice.
[14:09] <Stava> jason_, thanks for the input
[14:10] <IZA> phlak_user: thx, i overlooked the answer
[14:10] <jason___> phlak_user: bam. works now.
[14:10] <Stava> Also, I heard that Lenovo is works great with linux, is there any truth to that?
[14:10] <phlak_user> jason___, ok
[14:10] <Stava> Or perhaps there is a website where I can check compatibility with wireless cards and such
[14:10] <IZA> install-grub alone doesnt recreate the initrds, right?
[14:10] <urlin2u> !wireless | Stava
[14:10] <jason___> Stava: yes, traditionally linux has worked very well on lenovos.
[14:11] <tensorpudding> Stava, you can check the HCL for individual bits
[14:11] <tensorpudding> !hcl
[14:11] <Stava> awesome, thanks
[14:11] <jason___> Stava: I've used it on lenovo r61, r500, and at this very moment Im on an x120. all worked well.
[14:11] <tensorpudding> it worked fine on the T30 i had several years ago
[14:11] <tensorpudding> 7.10 i think i ran
[14:11] <jason___> Stava: only company I'd stay away from on ANY platform, including Linux, is broadcom wireless. Broadcom wired ethernet has been okay in my experience, but their wireless is a real fail.
[14:11] <viliny> sig... still no sound
[14:11] <Sidewinder1> m477, Poland, huh? Cool. :D
[14:11] <viliny> nothing seems to work
[14:11] <jason___> Stava: but wireless cards are often easily swappable. If you can replace RAM, you can do a wireless card. Just a thought.
[14:12] <tensorpudding> but lenovo has probably taken to using the same parts as everyone else
[14:12] <Aleo> hi all
[14:12] <tensorpudding> unless they *promise* linux compatibility, nothing can be said regarding whether it supports it or not
[14:12] <Stava> jason_, Alright, i'll keep that in mind, thanks
[14:12] <tensorpudding> lenovo had a flirtation with having suse on their laptops
[14:12] <Sidewinder1> m477, Gotta' love the net/ubuntu/irc.
[14:12] <tensorpudding> the t41's
[14:12] <tensorpudding> but that was a while ago
[14:12] <viliny> i now tried finding my driver on alsa matrix but i can't figure out which driver to use... no sound and been going on at this for 2 days now, anyone here good at alsa?
[14:12] <tensorpudding> and only one model
[14:13] <viliny> Asus M5A78L-M LX is my motherboard and as far as i know ALC887 is the chipset...
[14:13] <urlin2u> !sound | viliny
[14:13] <riffautae> Stava: i have a t510 and it ran linux with absolutly no problems. everything works
[14:13] <viliny> urlin2u, i have exhausted those and many other guides several times now
[14:14] <riffautae> Stava: using it right now
[14:14] <tensorpudding> i know people who ran linux on thinkpads and had endless problems with them
[14:14] <Stava> I'm looking at Lenovi ideapad B570, if that means anything to anyone :p
[14:14] <Stava> lenovo*
[14:14] <riffautae> Stava: oh i dont know anything about the idea pads
[14:14] <tensorpudding> the ideapads are a whole 'nother pod
[14:14] <Guest70598> Afternoon everyone
[14:14] <ggoZ> Hi
[14:14] <tensorpudding> there's not much distinguishing them from the machines made by any other OEM
[14:15] <Fleck> in what year was first ubuntu release?
[14:15] <urlin2u> viliny, there is a command that gives a full read of everything, don't know it but it is in tat link spread posted by the bot have that info ready for somebody who knopws this area.
[14:15] <Pici> Stava: http://thinkwiki.org might be helpful if you're interested in a thinkpad.
[14:15] <Stava> Are they bad? :o
[14:15] <urlin2u> that*
[14:15] <Guest70598> does anyone know how to install virtualbox guest additions on 11.10?
[14:15] <Pici> !4.10 | Fleck 2004
[14:15] <tensorpudding> 4.10 was a rebadged debian sarge
[14:16] <viliny> urlin2u, http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=3b8c40afa79233c6d45033245d98bdf6a9b4c86b
[14:16] <X-tonic> @ Guest70598: you dont need to install Guest Additions. You just have that iso file mounted in your vbox
[14:16] <urlin2u> Guest70598, click the top panel of the host mounting the guest additions and run them from the guest
[14:16] <MonkeyDust> Guest70598: they are in the repos
[14:16] <Sidewinder1> Fleck, You may wish to have a look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_%28operating_system%29
[14:16] <Guest70598> Thanks for all your responses
[14:17] <urlin2u> viliny, cool I know nothing about sound but you have the idea.
[14:17] <viliny> urlin2u, yeah been going at it for a while now, just need someone smarter than me to figure this one out
[14:17] <Guest70598> I went to devices install guest additions and it should be installed now
[14:18] <Guest70598> I am just unable to change my screen resolution now
[14:18] <urlin2u> Guest70598, did you reboot?
[14:18] <Guest70598> yeah i have rebooted my machine
[14:19] <Guest70598> do you have to install it in safe mode?
[14:19] <urlin2u> Guest70598, did you get a terminal that ran the additions and a confirmed install at the end?
[14:20] <urlin2u> Guest70598, at least for a linux guest, what is the guest OS?
[14:20] <Guest70598> the guest os is wondows
[14:20] <html> night yall
[14:20] <Guest70598> i think i have finally installed it now thanks :)
[14:21] <Guest70598> thanks for you help
[14:21] <compdoc> you never install any program in safe mode
[14:21] <urlin2u> Guest70598, little different but did you get a install gui? in windows
[14:21] <Guest70598> yeah i got a gui install
[14:21] <urlin2u> compdoc, not true you want 3d in windows it is from safe mode
[14:22] <compdoc> urlin2u, nonsense
[14:22] <html> Guest70598,  please change ur name so we know u out of the 40 some other "guests
[14:22] <Guest70598> lol ok
[14:22] <urlin2u> compdoc, yes that what your espousing. :D
[14:22] <urlin2u> that's*
[14:22] <JapyDooge> when using virtualbox and you want to enable the experimental 3d mode in a windows guest, you need to install the guest additions in windows safe mode indeed
[14:22] <JapyDooge> that's because the drivers are not signed
[14:23] <rob3r7> Hi, Im trying to download and Install Ubuntu on my Windows computer with Wubi Installer.. But my question is does it autimaticly download the 64bit version? I dont see anything if its 32 or 64 it gona install

[14:25] <b0ot> How do you resize a lvm2?
[14:25] <urlin2u> rob3r7, never used wine it does not just run any windows program.
[14:26] <b0ot> I booted into a live version of ubuntu to resize my centos6 disk, and the majority of the space is used with a lvm2 partition, and gparted won't let me resize it... whyis this?
[14:26] <urlin2u> rob3r7, I wouldn't bother with wine really I have windows dual booted I never use it but for word but would not bother with wine but that is a o=personal choice.
[14:26] <xgt001> hello I can't boot into gui, please help I tried to install ati catalyst 11.10 drivers, when I give the --buildpkg , it fails to create packages, when I ran sh ./ati----.run file it installed succesfully but on rebooting its not giving the gui

[14:28] <lucas_> hola?
[14:28] <AndyUbuntu> the gnome3 bar at the top covered everything
[14:28] <rob3r7> Cogito446: Nice

[14:28] <kraftwer1> How did Ubuntu manage to boot without rEFIt? (Mac)
[14:28] <xgt001> help me please, I am getting the error lbGL.so.1 missing when I run amdconfig.....
[14:29] <AndyUbuntu> thanks for all the help guys
[14:29] <AndyUbuntu> great to get it working
[14:29] <lucas_> I need some help, Im pretty new at ubuntu
[14:29] <Bizlinx> what do you want
[14:29] <urlin2u> lucas_, welcome, ask away.
[14:30] <Cogito446> rob3r7: Just follow this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft
[14:30] <AndyUbuntu> p.s. just to let you know I never really use windozzzzzz as its rubbish though there are some tools i need that i cant use on ubuntu
[14:30] <AndyUbuntu> i wish developers would build web apps for ubuntu :s
[14:30] <lucas_> I instaled ubuntu n already had windows 7, but now I can get in to windows n I have very important files there
[14:30] <AndyUbuntu> grrr :)
[14:30] <urlin2u> lucas_, is it a dualboot or a wubi?
[14:31] <Aleo> what is seemless mode ?
[14:31] <lucas_> I made a partition of the hard disk
[14:31] <urlin2u> Aleo, virtualbox look itr up.
[14:31] <urlin2u> lucas_, run sudo update-grub in ubuntu .
[14:31] <Aleo> thks
[14:32] <Aleo> urlin2u, and hello :)
[14:32] <urlin2u> Aleo, hello explaing seemless takes as lond=g as looking it up. :D
[14:32] <lucas_> hum I do that n asks me the password but dont let me write it :P
[14:33] <urlin2u> lucas_, you wont see the password just type it and hit enter.
[14:33] <Aleo> I tried opensuse 12.1 RC1 today, with Gnome 3,. did not liked, Ubuntu with Unity is much easy to use
[14:33] <Aleo> urlin2u, :)
[14:34] <urlin2u> lucas_, you figure out the password?
[14:35] <lucas_> yes so now?
[14:35] <urlin2u> lucas_, that command rewrites the grub menu windows should boot if you used the ubuntu installndisc to resize windows it will probably run a disc check let it do that.
[14:36] <urlin2u> lucas_, should boot if you did not overwrite anything or break windows in some manner.
[14:37] <Database> I'm trying to flash new firmware on a radio dongle: I have a spceial kernel module (a variant of radio-si470x-usb.c) that I need to compile and get into my system somehow. How might I do that?
[14:37] <urlin2u> lucas_, I have to go but there is good help here with others.
[14:37] <lucas_> ok hum should I do something else or restart the computer?
[14:38] <lucas_> thanks mate
[14:46] <viliny> this is getting ridiculous, i just installed a gtx460 with hdmi sound and im not getting any sound via this card either
[14:46] <viliny> getting so frustrated over here
[14:47] <riffautae> viliny: if you have multiple sound cards [such as a built in on the mother board] it may be using that one isntead
[14:47] <viliny> i see the new hdmi sound in the options and its selected and all, but no sound
[14:47] <viliny> well that one hasn't worked for 2 days now so
[14:47] <viliny> also it's connected to a different set of speakers
[14:47] <viliny> so i should hear it working
[14:47] <Sevith> If i install xfce on ubuntu 11 when i have gnome installed...how many problems will i have lol
[14:48] <viliny> well i guess i'll install debian and see if that works better, im quite done with this bs now
[14:48] <Sevith> lol
[14:48] <mudu> hi all
[14:48] <mudu> how to crack game in linux installed with playonlinux/wine

[14:49] <nuborn> hi, how come I have 8 swap partitions, each 8GB  in size, after standard installation? I have a quad core Intel with Hyper Trhreading (8 threads) and 8GB RAM, but is this really normal?

[14:52] <Sevith> Hmm
[14:54] <nuborn> Is it safe to remove swap partitions? I have 8 swap partitions, each 8GB, but I only need one since I have 8GB ram, right? Any tips on how I do this?
[14:55] <sputnick> swapoff /dev/xxx
[14:55] <sputnick> nuborn.
[14:55] <riffautae> nuborn: as long as you activate the last one you should be fine. can you take a screen shot of the screen telling you that you have 8? thats pretty weird that it would d othat
[14:55] <mneptok> nuborn: is this a laptop or desktop?
[14:55] <riffautae> nuborn: swapon /dev/lastone

[14:59] <net> i want to connect to internet via terminal. how?
[14:59] <zaurav> somsip: thank you!
[15:00] <somsip> zaurav: you should have 'export EC2_HOME=...' 'export EC2_PRIVATE_KEY..' and 'export EC2_CERT. And add the ec2-tools/bin to your path: export PATH=$PATH:$EC2_HOME/bin
[15:00] <baaaac> use wlink

[15:03] <net> its a wireless modem...7.2 mbps
[15:03] <SilfenX> hello - looking at the local screen of my 10.04 server booting I can see errors appearing and then the screen clears and the prompt is displyed. How can I access this somewhere? Is there a start up sequence log that I can read afterwards to find out whats going wrong?
[15:04] <JapyDooge> SilfenX: type dmesg
[15:04] <JapyDooge> :)
[15:04] <judh> openoffice draw saves the diagram with .odg format, but i need it in the jpeg format?
[15:04] <Sidewinder1> net, Was the wireless "on" when you installed? If so it should've seen it..

[15:06] <JapyDooge> b0ot_: have u tried using gparted?
[15:06] <b0ot_> gparted doesn't deal with lvm2
[15:06] <nuborn> riffautae: ok, sure, 2 sec

[15:06] <JapyDooge> ahhh

[15:10] <net> just some wireless usb modem 7.2 mbps. it use acess point to connect. i need it to proceed with a coustom server. :)
[15:10] <JapyDooge> ahhh
[15:11] <JapyDooge> so you need a dialup number (*09*# or something like that to activate those and an APN name) and put those in an application
[15:11] <JapyDooge> hsdpa?
[15:11] <Catachan> hey, does anyone know the command to force my comp to go to sleep from the terminal?
[15:12] <nuborn> JapyDooge: Yes, I always wondered about this. Especially since this was the standard installation from the Ubuntu Cd.
[15:12] <stephni> after using ffmpeg to convert avi to 3gp the memory sky rockets what should i do to bring it down
[15:12] <jrib> Catachan: look at pm-suspend
[15:12] <Catachan> thanks
[15:12] <riffautae> nuborn: yea so delete sda6->10 and expand 5 to take up the space. make sure to swapoff all the partitions you delte
[15:12] <Javid_> How do I make this thing recognize my ipod?
[15:12] <riffautae> nuborn: before yo udo it
[15:12] <JapyDooge> nuborn: afaik it is possible (never tried it tho, but i'm planning on doing that myself one day) but i'll google around a bit
[15:13] <stephni> or what should i do so the memory of the av video remains same after conversion to 3gp?
[15:13] <JapyDooge> nuborn: do you know a device name/model?
[15:13] <Dougdogg> Guys, what's the best os for a vps?
[15:13] <nuborn> riffautae: thanks, Ill try that
[15:14] <nuborn> JapyDooge: you mean computer model?
[15:14] <JapyDooge> ehh wups
[15:14] <JapyDooge> i started talking to nuborn
[15:14] <JapyDooge> but i ment net :P
[15:14] <riffautae> nuborn: and once that is all done swapon /dev/sda11   just to be sure
[15:14] <nuborn> ah, ok
[15:14] <net> yeah something like that. i just need to work
[15:14] <JapyDooge> net: afaik it is possible (never tried it tho, but i'm planning on doing that myself one day)
[15:14] <JapyDooge> net: do you know a device name/model?
[15:14] <Catachan> hmm okay, that worked (and fast too) but it didn't actually let me do what I had hoped it would. . . :(
[15:15] <Catachan> here's my issue: I was playing DwarfFortress in full screen mode
[15:15] <net> HUAEI
[15:15] <Catachan> last night, I was about to fall asleep and I closed my laptop, thereby making it go to sleep itself.
[15:16] <Catachan> Apparently, it locked the screen and then started a login attempt before suspending last night.
[15:16] <muffinii> what graphical program can I use to open password protected winzip and winrar files?
[15:17] <jrib> muffinii: file-roller, you should already have it
[15:17] <Catachan> as a result, when I tried to login this morning, the unlock window said that time had expired and would not let me sign back in.
[15:17] <JapyDooge> lawl
[15:18] <riffautae> Catachan: i have had that happen before, i just tried again later and it let me in
[15:18] <jrib> Catachan: you should probably file a bug if one does not exist
[15:18] <Catachan> after a few seconds, that window disapeared, however it looks like DF still has complete control over my input devices.
[15:19] <Catachan> as a result, the unlock screen window will not appear, and my mouse (which is visible and white, as it appears on my desktop) will not move from the center of my screen.
[15:20] <Catachan> at the moment, I am actually on IRC using irssi in tty6, and I am hoping someone might have an idea as to how to force control of the keyboard back to gnome or X or whatever needs it to wake the computer up.
[15:20] <Catachan> oh, actually, tty5
[15:20] <riffautae> Catachan: killall dwarffortress
[15:21] <Catachan> uhm. . . I could, but then I would lose my progress.
[15:21] <Catachan> so, I would prefer that to be my last resort
[15:21] <riffautae> Catachan: killall gnome-screensaver ?
[15:21] <Catachan> hmm
[15:21] <Catachan> let me try that
[15:21] <matrix3000> on the ubuntu-desktop what key combo brings up the termal window
[15:22] <mlerchl> crtl+alt+t
[15:22] <Catachan> wow, that worked.
[15:23] <EgyParadox> Catachan, startx
[15:23] <riffautae> Catachan: be aware you screensaver no longer works :P
[15:23] <Catachan> <.< >.> uhm, possible security flaw?
[15:23] <riffautae> Catachan: only if they are logged in as you or root
[15:23] <Catachan> well, the screen saver should be started again when the computer reboots later, yes?
[15:23] <riffautae> EgyParadox: x is already started
[15:23] <riffautae> Catachan: yes or you can run gnome screensaver yourself
[15:24] <Catachan> okay cool
[15:24] <Catachan> thanks all
[15:24] <Catachan> anyway, I am going to head off now, see you all around perhaps in the future!
[15:25] <forrest_> quit
[15:26] <matrix3000> thank you!

[15:47] <xgt001> :exit
[15:47] <khem_> Korlanthius: FVWM crystal sounds interesting.
[15:47] <Korlanthius> It's very much Fluxbox-y
[15:47] <Korlanthius> With a little bit of differences
[15:48] <Korlanthius> For some reason I'm in love with it though
[15:48] <sevith> Xfce is the shiznit  compared to G4
[15:48] <sevith> G3
[15:52] <Korlanthius> I really like G3. I hear complaints about it for certain reasons, though the reasons I hear I don't really use anyways
[15:52] <share> Is there something similar to pastebinit but for Images?

[15:56] <BloodyMarthy> hi
[15:56] <SilfenX> I m not sure 'dmesg' will display what I m looking for -  I m not having hardware issues, I suspect it to to be some service or program ran at boot time that has a config file that has obsolete/erroneus entries. Does that information also get logged at startup by dmesg?
[15:58] <sianhulo> someone knows if there's a way my usb could be detected as it should be?
[15:59] <user_> when I change xorg input mouse to NetScroll, that does not reflect in xinput -list. Why?
[15:59] <EgyParadox> sianhulo, run in terminal

[16:00] <EgyParadox> it should list USB connected devices
[16:00] <azert> hello there

[16:01] <sianhulo> EgyParadox, yes, it's listed in there, the problem is my bios
[16:02] <jrib> sorry.
[16:02] <EgyParadox> sianhulo: What is the problem?

[16:13] <ubuntunoob> do i just use sudo update alternatives ??
[16:15] <Malgorath> jre and jdk are different packages.
[16:15] <ubuntunoob> i meant the opensource jre and the sun jre
[16:15] <Malgorath> one should run both requirements.
[16:17] <ubuntunoob> how would i switch between them?
[16:17] <ubuntunoob> if i installed the sun java alongside the open source one?

[16:41] <petn-randall> Hi, what was the old note taking application called in older ubuntu releases? not tomboy, not gnotes
[16:41] <reisio> xournal?
[16:41] <FreeWilly> riffautae: do u know the samba command which check the config file?
[16:42] <Tekk_> oh great....
[16:42] <petn-randall> I'm asking because my old notes didn't quite get imported into gnotes, and I can't remember the name
[16:42] <Tekk_> apparently pdflatex doesn't know what includegraphics is
[16:42] <deej1976> petn-randall: Tomboy
[16:42] <riffautae> FreeWilly: testparm
[16:42] <compdoc> FreeWilly, pastebin your /etc/samba/smb.conf
[16:43] <petn-randall> It was really minimalistic, and you could only resize notes by dragging the bottom left corner
[16:43] <riffautae> FreeWilly: this section talks about it http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/install.html#id2553078

[16:44] <petn-randall> deej1976: Unfortunately it's neither tomboy nor gnotes
[16:44] <riffautae> Um_cara_qualquer: http://paste.ubuntu.com/
[16:44] <petn-randall> however, I'm rather sure it was a GTK/gnome app

[16:45] <windparadise>  any answer please ?
[16:46] <[AI]> riffautae: my external drive isnt cryptet
[16:46] <llutz> windparadise: users actually logged in? "who or w"   all uses on system?"getent passwd"
[16:46] <[AI]> riffautae: just my homedir is crypted
[16:46] <petn-randall> avinashhm: You can set them as environment variables
[16:46] <fling> what is the name of the song at the end of the video? 2:44 > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvDlIhb16Dc
[16:46] <llutz> fling: how is that ubuntu-support related?
[16:46] <petn-randall> avinashhm: in bash it is: export http_proxy=<proxy_ip_port>
[16:47] <avinashhm> petn-randall,thanks ... just 1 more doubt just setting via export does this work ...
[16:47] <windparadise> llutz: thanks how do I add a user permission to an entire specfic folder ?
[16:47] <monstaRtruck> i got a gtx560 and installed the driver from nvidia and now my themes are messed up
[16:47] <llutz> !permissions| windparadise:
[16:47] <theadmin> windparadise: Either add that user to the group the folder belongs to, or use ACL
[16:48] <monstaRtruck> my old gt220 was not doing that
[16:48] <monstaRtruck> i got a gtx560 and installed the driver from nvidia and now my themes are messed up my old gt220 was not doing that

[16:48] <superlinux> hi. my friend wants to run xen, and his grub does not show a corresponding kernel for xen. I am a debian user btw. what I know there is a pkg named linux-image-xen-*.
[16:49] <theadmin> superlinux: We don't support Debian.
[16:49] <FreeWilly> compdoc: http://paste.ubuntu.com/727403/
[16:49] <foolove> for cronjobs......what do you do for seconds   like  * /30 * * * * is in minutes is    30 /30 * * * *   30 minutes and 30 seconds
[16:49] <FreeWilly> compdoc: sorry took so long
[16:49] <petn-randall> superlinux: There's also #debian
[16:49] <monstaRtruck> debian has so many issues
[16:49] <llutz> foolove: nothing, minimal every minute or use tricks
[16:49] <theadmin> monstaRtruck: Ubuntu has more :P
[16:49] <riffautae> [AI]: you could make a copy of the home dir partition as backup or see if rdiff-backup works on block devices
[16:49] <monstaRtruck> not really
[16:49] <monstaRtruck> debian has nothing in it
[16:50] <superlinux> petn-randall, no he has bad english and is ubuntu user
[16:50] <monstaRtruck> its a server
[16:50] <theadmin> monstaRtruck: Sooo? How is that an issue?
[16:50] <superlinux> I am a debian-er
[16:50] <monstaRtruck> dood
[16:50] <monstaRtruck> if u dont install anything ur not gona have problems
[16:50] <riffautae> [AI]: other wise you'll have to have an encrypted area on your external that you jsut copy the data to
[16:50] <foolove> llutz oh thanks for the heads up i seen where you could do sleep 10; for 10 seconds so ill do this
[16:50] <theadmin> monstaRtruck: You can't scare an Arch (and ex-Gentoo) user with "has nothing in it"
[16:50] <jayar> cant get this usb formatted... says its read only :(
[16:50] <monstaRtruck> more money more problems
[16:51] <monstaRtruck> then go play with dos
[16:51] <riffautae> [AI]: truecrtype and encfs would be worth looking into. they can be used within an unencrypted partition
[16:51] <[AI]> riffautae: isnt it possible to copy the data unencryptet to another harddrive?
[16:51] <kints> anyone with experience configuring X server to run on a professional graphic card (ex. nvidia quadra nvs 295)?
[16:51] <llutz> foolove: yes, youll need some scripting around to make cronjobs running faster than every minute. cron itself can't do it
[16:51] <monstaRtruck> stop wasting ppl who actualy do stuffs time
[16:51] <kints> anyone knows some suitable drivers that will install and make unbutu recognize the graphics card ?
[16:51] <windparadise> theadmin: I am still stuck,
[16:51] <riffautae> [AI]: yes if the partition is mounted and unlocked you can just copy the data like normal
[16:51] <kints> pls pm me (i got disconnected before)
[16:51] <windparadise> how do i add the user to the group the folder belongs to ?
[16:51] <h00k> !nvidia | kints
[16:51] <riffautae> [AI]: however it will not be encrypted on the external unless you do it yourself
[16:51] <monstaRtruck> debian is as empty as ur brain
[16:52] <Myrtti> !offtopic
[16:52] <Myrtti> can you please move back to the topic of Ubuntu supporty
[16:52] <[AI]> riffautae: ah okay, so maybe i did a mistake last time. i will try it again
[16:52] <[AI]> riffautae: thank you!
[16:52] <monstaRtruck> is any1 here using gtx560
[16:52] <llutz> windparadise: sudo adduser user group
[16:52] <monstaRtruck> is any1 here using gtx560
[16:52] <deej1976> windparadise: adduser userid group
[16:52] <EvilResistance> is it wrong to add additional swap on an external USB hard drive if you need the extra swap?
[16:52] <BluesKaj> kints, did you change default graphics in your BIOS from onboard to pci(e) ?

[16:53] <EvilResistance> !repeat | monstaRtruck
[16:53] <windparadise> a user already exists
[16:53] <windparadise> but I want to add a permission to it
[16:53] <llutz> windparadise: sudo adduser user group       only works if that user exists. man adduser
[16:53] <windparadise> www-data to access and control the www folder
[16:53] <windparadise> www-data already exists
[16:53] <llutz> windparadise: read:# man adduser
[16:54] <kints> BluesKaj: nope but i suppose it's working the pci-express
[16:54] <kints> can i check it somehow from terminal ?
[16:54] <BluesKaj> kints, don't suppose , you had better check
[16:54] <superlinux> looks like no one is willing to help!
[16:54]  * reisio helps
[16:54] <reisio> superlinux: there, happy?
[16:54] <deej1976> windparadise: sudo addgroup windparadise www-data
[16:54] <theadmin> monstaRtruck: Seriously, building your own system works great and you end up having just what you want. Whatever though.
[16:54] <unknown_> how to change default users specific infomation on ubuntu 11.10
[16:54] <unknown_> ?
[16:55] <foolove> llutz do you know if this will work for every 3 minutes and 10 seconds     * /3 * * * * sleep 10;/usr/bin/mycommand
[16:55] <windparadise> ok
[16:55] <superlinux> reisio, thanks mate..

[16:55] <monstaRtruck> theadmin: beat it
[16:55] <monstaRtruck> nerd
[16:55] <deej1976> windparadise: then type groups to check group affiliation
[16:55] <superlinux> i just want the name of the linux-image in ubuntu that can run xen
[16:55] <llutz> foolove: that runs every 3 minutes and waits for 10sec then

[16:55] <superlinux> that's all

[16:55] <theadmin> Ah, superlinux, in Ubuntu... You said Debian.
[16:55] <BluesKaj> kints, lspci | grep VGA will tell which card the BIOS is using
[16:55] <monstaRtruck> nerd
[16:55] <windparadise> ok
[16:56] <reisio> superlinux: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen
[16:56] <BluesKaj> kints, everyone has an onboard video card , it's bulkt in to the motherboard

[16:56] <foolove> gotcha that is fine so the cron will run every three minutes i create the sleep it will be a work around
[16:56] <riffautae> BluesKaj: only on laptops
[16:56] <theadmin> superlinux: Okay, I see... I can't really find such a kernel in the repos, probably have to compile yourself?
[16:56] <kints> BluesKaj: some years ago it wasn't like that
[16:57] <kints> as far as i know
[16:57] <riffautae> kints: today too
[16:57] <superlinux> theadmin, can't he use the one from debian?

[17:19] <Pici> monstaRtruck: Please behave this time, or you will find yourself unable to join again.
[17:20] <monstaRtruck> its the other guys
[17:20] <riffautae> Linds: the login screen? did you forget your login information or is there something wrong with the screen
[17:20] <Guest90204> Gnome screen?
[17:20] <phox_> Has  anybody have any problem with updating to oncelot without burning a new cd? Is it safe to use the internal updater?
[17:20] <Linds> The gnome screen. I get the gnome screen and can't get past it.
[17:20] <Linds> I can't get to the login screen.
[17:21] <RaTTuS|BIG> Linds what does it look like : - does ctrl-alt-f1 do anything
[17:21] <chico> why cant get ? to the login screen
[17:21] <CounterPillow> Linds: u have to login first im pro i know dat
[17:21] <Linds> It's the black screen with the block of text at the top and on the left hand side it says gnome>
[17:21] <Linds> I can't get to the login screen to do that.
[17:22] <Linds> That's the problem
[17:22] <chico> did you try  the command startx ?
[17:22] <Linds> Yes
[17:22] <chico> and nothing happens?
[17:23] <Linds> Nothing happens.
[17:23] <riffautae> Linds: i am not familiar with that screen, what else does it say?
[17:24] <Linds> Just a second.
[17:24] <fission6> i am trying to clear up space and looking for things to delete, it looks like there are lots of X things even though i am running a server, i see things for gnome and icons and crap - is there a way to quickly remove packages around this in a safe manor
[17:24] <reisio> fission6: run baobab
[17:25] <riffautae> reisio: fission6 that is a gui application
[17:26] <reisio> fission6: you want a command?
[17:26] <tjingboem> where can i find sun-java for 11.10?
[17:26] <albert> trying to play fifa 2003 via wine, my gamecontroller acts ingame as two seperate. anybody familiar with this?
[17:26] <riffautae> fission6: you could try sudo apt-get uninstall xserver-xorg
[17:26] <pangolin> albert: #winehq should be able to help
[17:27] <albert> ty
[17:27] <ubuntu_> http://paste2.org/p/1756475
[17:27] <Linds> I don't know how else to describe it. When i start my computer up it takes me to a back screen with white letters on it, like a terminal and in the center there is a bock of text tha ti don't remember what it says but i've read it a gazillion times, and then on the left hand side it says GNOME>
[17:27] <monstaRtruck> i told u it wasnt me
[17:27] <PubLiic> I'm having some issues with Gnome 3. When I first install it everything works fine until I shutdown or reboot. When I boot back up, I go into the login screen and it goes straight into unity. I can log back out and change it back to gnome, but nothing happens when I log back in. Sorry, if this is a noob question, this is literally my 3rd day using linux.
[17:28] <riffautae> Linds: does it say gnome or GRUB
[17:28] <reisio> :D
[17:28] <Linds> gnome
[17:28] <riffautae> Linds: that would make more sense
[17:28] <reisio> Linds: it just says GRUB> and nothing happens?
[17:28] <chico> linds did u try to reset or reinstall gnome ?
[17:28] <riffautae> Linds: would you please double check for me? that sounds exactly like the grub prompt
[17:28] <pangolin> f4ggot: Please change your nick to something not offensive
[17:28] <Linds> Okay. I'll go check and come back.
[17:29] <reisio> Linds: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows is probably your solution regardless
[17:29] <notlistening> Hi when i start my printer driver it should spawn two processes instread it spawns about 30 any ideas?
[17:29] <f4ggot> how do I change my nick?
[17:29] <pangolin> /nick newnick
[17:29] <pangolin> Thank you
[17:30] <benedict> Unity - like or dislike?
[17:31] <pangolin> !polls
[17:31] <reisio> usually there is, actually, but it's still a silly question
[17:31] <hidensoft> what is hostname ?
[17:31] <reisio> hidensoft: echo $HOSTNAME
[17:32] <reisio> hidensoft: it's purely cosmetic unless you have a properly configured server
[17:32] <reisio> hidensoft: or LAN
[17:32] <hidensoft> reisio, output : localhost.localdomain
[17:33] <reisio> hidensoft: you could change it to something cuter, but again, short of having a server or several boxes on a LAN, it's only going to be cosmetic
[17:33] <riffautae> hidensoft: what is your particular question about host names?
[17:34] <SilfenX> my router firewall port forwarding section displayes a start port and an end port for a service. However, I would want to define a public port and a private port for a given service to make it possible to forward a custom port from the public interface to the services defualt port on the privade interface, ie for example make HTTPS calls from WAN to custom port 23654 to be directed to  HTTPS default service port of 443.
[17:34] <hidensoft> riffautae, i don't know what is hostname , if i change hostname , what happened ?
[17:34] <reisio> hidensoft: it takes the place of IP addresses, if you have everything configured
[17:34] <reisio> hidensoft: nothing for most people
[17:34] <Linds> Okay, so it says grub>
[17:34] <riffautae> hidensoft: if no other computer is configured to contact yours with that hostname, nothing
[17:35] <reisio> on a LAN you could ssh user@host instead of user@ip.ip.ip.ip
[17:35] <Linds> At the top it says GNU Grub version 1.99-12ubuntu5
[17:35] <reisio> Linds: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[17:35] <reisio> Linds: your GRUB in your MBR might be confused as to where its config file is
[17:35] <riffautae> Linds: ok thats before linux boots at all. look at reisio's link for assistance
[17:35] <reisio> or your config file might be lost
[17:36] <llutz> SilfenX: and your question is? how is ubuntu involved there?
[17:36] <Linds> Okay. Why would it do that out of no where though? I had been using it fine for like two weeks and then all of a sudden it did that.
[17:36] <riffautae> SilfenX: most software can be configured to listen on more then one port at a time
[17:36] <reisio> Linds: it wouldn't, you changed something or your hardware has failed
[17:36] <reisio> Linds: or, I guess your filesystem could have failed, too
[17:36] <hidensoft> riffautae, reisio thanks
[17:36] <riffautae> SilfenX: alternativily you can configure your router to forward the external port to a lower internal one
[17:36] <reisio> Linds: but probably you changed something and everything is fine
[17:37] <Linds> I haven't changed anything. And my computer has a new harddrive, it shouldn't of failed.
[17:37] <reisio> Linds: did you change... the harddrive? :p
[17:37] <Linds> That was three months ago.
[17:37] <reisio> okay
[17:37] <reisio> Linds: I'm not accusing you of anything I'm just saing
[17:37] <Linds> I know. :P
[17:37] <reisio> there's no such thing as magic in this regard
[17:37] <riffautae> did you run an update? do you have any other os's installed?
[17:37] <reisio> either something has changed, or something has failed
[17:37] <reisio> hopefully it's the former, because the latter costs money
[17:38] <Linds> I have no way to recover using a CD as i'm on a netbook and i don't have a CD drive.
[17:38] <reisio> Linds: USB then
[17:38] <Linds> Sorry to be a total noob. Still learnign the ropes. :P
[17:38] <kroete> hi guys, does someone knows a good irc server? i want to setup my own one.
[17:38] <reisio> Linds: you can use unetbootin.sf.net to put an Ubuntu live image onto a USB stick
[17:38] <reisio> Linds: if you have one
[17:39] <reisio> kroete: InspIRCd
[17:39] <pangolin> kroete: apt-cache search ircd
[17:39] <pangolin> there are a few in the repos
[17:39] <riffautae> kroete: i dont know of one, but be aware public irc servers are against the terms of service for some ISPs and web hosts
[17:39] <faint545> does anyone have problems with Banshee? mine keeps crashing
[17:40] <reisio> banshee's a mono app :p
[17:40] <reisio> might try using rhythmbox or exaile instead
[17:40] <riffautae> faint545: i am not aware of any issues with banshee right now, can you post ~/.config/banshee-1/log to a pastebin site?
[17:40] <tensorpudding> my problem with banshee was fixed by switching to quodlibet
[17:41] <ralph_> which version of bash is in there with ubuntu 11.10
[17:41] <ralph_> >>
[17:41] <reisio> tensorpudding: heh
[17:41] <llutz> !info bash
[17:41] <llutz> ralph_: ^^
[17:41] <Linds> Again, sorry for being such a noob but how do i set up the USB repair disk?
[17:41] <reisio> Linds: download an Ubuntu ISO image, use http://unetbootin.sf.net/ to put it onto a USB stick
[17:42] <faint545> riffautae, http://pastebin.com/C6e0Jxcs
[17:42] <llutz> !pm  | ralph_
[17:42] <reisio> Linds: then you boot the GRUB>'d box from the USB stick
[17:43] <ralph_> so may i have a permission to chat with llutz,,;)
[17:43] <llutz> ralph_: keep it in the channe pls
[17:43] <llutz> channel*
[17:45] <Friar> I want to get the sound from a little video that is online...is there a way for me to do it? It is the intro to a strongbad email. I want to make it my ring tone on my phone when i get an email...http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail44.html is the link to it.
[17:45] <riffautae> faint545: oh thats a strange error, you might contact the banshee guys http://banshee.fm/about/contact/  or post a bug report https://encrypted.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=banshee%20log%20file&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CB0QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fbanshee.fm%2Fcontribute%2Ffile-bugs%2F&ei=F9OyTrL5G4nu0gGOnvm9BA&usg=AFQjCNFgrgsdij0KCY0fyGC8T8rT_qdMTQ
[17:45] <llutz> ralph_: i don't read any PMs, keep it in the channel, pls
[17:46] <riffautae> aw stupid google
[17:46] <PapSmear> how do i change the behaviour of my mouse (allocate the extra buttons, change how many lines the mousewheel scrolls in firefox etc)?
[17:46] <riffautae> faint545: sorry that last link is http://banshee.fm/contribute/file-bugs/
[17:46] <ralph_> google indeed is stupid ,
[17:46] <reisio> PapSmear: firefox has its own pref for that, IIRC, if it's just Firefox's behavior you want to change
[17:46] <ralph_> i mean half stupid and half intelligent ,so long as its spider programs are concerned,and those indexing
[17:47] <reisio> for lines to scroll, I mean
[17:47] <llutz> !ot | ralph_
[17:47] <PapSmear> reisio: OK tnx
[17:47] <him> can any buddy tell me how to know about the battery cell of my laptop from inside os?
[17:48] <scwizard> is there any way to configure sshd such that only users with a certain IP address can log in as a certain user?
[17:48] <ralph_> hey man just freaking with google's indexing and its pegion programs ha ha
[17:48] <ordicollege> bjr
[17:48] <ralph_> nothing freaky so far,
[17:48] <scwizard> for instance only users on the local LAN can log in as a sudoer, but users can log in as less privlaged users from outside
[17:48] <llutz> him: cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT?/info
[17:48] <ralph_> hey anyone got some security related bugs in ubuntu 11.10
[17:49] <PapSmear> reisio, is it in about:config?
[17:49] <iamtony> hey all... i have a a crontab line '@reboot /path/to/my/task' ... how do I make that run as a specific user?
[17:49] <llutz> iamtony: use users personal crontab or sudo
[17:50] <ralph_> kernel panic etc,i need someone to throw some lights on kernel panic in the current version of ubuntu
[17:50] <riffautae> iamtony: if you log in as that user and use crontab -e you can edit that users specific cron
[17:50] <llutz> iamtony: system crontab has a "user" field
[17:50] <him> llutz: thanks buddy
[17:50] <b0ot> Anyone know why a pvresize (shrinking) might fail if you are sure you arent shrinking it too much
[17:51] <iamtony> llutz: What's the syntax for adding the 'user' field?
[17:51] <iamtony> i'd like to keep it in system crontab
[17:51] <hcaley> problem with Thunderbird address books.  I recently changed my Windows password, and now whenever I open thunderbird I get the following message:There was a problem opening the address book "Global Address List" - the message returned was: Cannot connect: MapiLogonEx: Failed to login into the server
[17:51] <riffautae> b0ot: the file system may not support shrinking
[17:52] <ralph_> llutz rocks ,lol ;)
[17:52] <hcaley> I get the same error with an address book called "Contacts"
[17:52] <llutz> iamtony: *  *  *  *  *   user command
[17:52] <b0ot> I was able to shrink the filesystem sucessfully before hand
[17:52] <ralph_> hey anyone programmer here,
[17:52] <llutz> iamtony: "man 5 crontab"
[17:52] <riffautae> hcaley: if you are using exchange for mail your password for email may have changed as well
[17:53] <iamtony> llutz: Yeah I found that, but I don't want to specify the date, just the '@reboot' - ah do I just do '@reboot user command'? I think I'm being stupid :-)
[17:53] <hcaley> @riffautae: understood, but I don't see a place to fix this.   These seem to be automatically generated address books.
[17:53] <llutz> iamtony: @reboot   user command
[17:53] <llutz> iamtony: "man 5 crontab"
[17:53] <hcaley> @riffautae: they have no properties to change
[17:53] <iamtony> llutz: Yep thanks
[17:53] <ralph_> is there anyway to use IDM in ubuntu ,i mean i tried it with those emulations to run exe but it fails
[17:53] <Pumpkin-> scwizard: I'm pretty sure you can, have a look at "man sshd_config" and "man 5 ssh_config".
[17:53] <riffautae> hcaley: thunderbird might be dumb about it and is tring to access your other accoutns when you look at that one
[17:53] <ralph_> anyone done it
[17:54] <riffautae> ralph_: what is IDM
[17:54] <scwizard> Pumpkin-: while I hvaen't read the whole man page, I have had a look
[17:54] <scwizard> ctrl+f IP address didn't turn up anything
[17:54] <Amdpc> ralph_> I installed Windows Xp in VIrtualbox and then installed idm in it..Its working :)
[17:54] <Bastian_b> Hello every body
[17:55] <hcaley> @riffautae: I'd assumed that these were some kind of auto feature associated with the Evolution Data Server.  Evolution itself has no such problems ;)
[17:55] <ralph_> internet download manager ;)
[17:56] <ralph_> i tried to run an exe in ubuntu ,via some emulation  but it worked with 7zip etc but failed with idm
[17:56] <cyphase> anything i need to know about before mounting my root drive read-only to clone it? /home is on it's own drive. only thing i can think of is logs and /tmp
[17:56] <ralph_> no no virtual box or vm ware etc need something else
[17:56] <hcaley> @ralph_ : have you checked at winehq to see if it is possible to run it?
[17:56] <glebihan> ralph_, there's  about no chance it's going to work
[17:56] <Bastian_b> I have a quick question -Its about installation of applications in Ubuntu. I heard that creating a new user for each new application is a good way to do, what do you think about that? Is it safe and useful to do that ?
[17:56] <ralph_> like cygwin for windows then is there something for ubuntu
[17:57] <archy> hi, when i run eththool eth0 it says speed 1000 howerver when i copy files over lan, i only have max 15MiB/s. all my network devices are working with gbit whats the problem?
[17:57] <glebihan> ralph_, you may want to have a look there however : http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=8202
[17:58] <riffautae> archy: 1000Gib is the max speed, if you have slow or busy hard drives it will be much slower
[17:58] <glebihan> !pm > ralph_
[17:59] <sianhulo> fellows, there's a way to boot and isntall ubuntu from an iso?i can boot using unetbootin and putting the so in the "/" partitio, but i'm not able to install
[17:59] <ralph_> why speed matters do you have to steal million of credentials via some wimax crap
[17:59] <ralph_> ;;))
[17:59] <hcaley> @Bastian_b: users are often created for servers that run in the background, such as the apache user for http.  I'm not sure I see a purpose in doing it for an "Application", by which I guess you mean something that a user would interact with.
[17:59] <riffautae> ralph_: when backing up files 15MB vs 150 is a big deal
[17:59] <riffautae> ralph_: thats 10 minutes virsus two hours
[18:00] <archy> riffautae: no its the only taks my computer is doing, and i copy from a windows pc to my ubuntu raid5
[18:00] <Bastian_b> @hcaley: Thank you
[18:00] <riffautae> archy: that is pretty slow, are they both connected to the same switch?
[18:01] <bobweaver> Hi there are there any live streams UDS   ?    thanks
[18:01] <ralph_> lol
[18:01] <ralph_> yeah the cluster things i know,lol then y don't you make some file system of your own
[18:01] <r3b00tx> hi, i was looking to partition and reinstall my linux box. i have a 320 gig hdd with 2 primary partitions occupied by dell recovery. now i need partition some space for windows install, say some 10gb. Remaining space would be occupied by ubuntu including home and root partitions. Should i create a primary partition for windows and install linux under extended partition? will tat work?
[18:01] <riffautae> ralph_: hm?
[18:01] <archy> riffautae: no there are 2 switches, both switches are connectec with a cat7 cable, and on both switches there is only 1 pc
[18:01] <ralph_> hey sianhulo what you did exactly ,i mean you done all correct so what the hell happened
[18:02] <nixmaniack> hey! I'm sometimes getting 1 cpu and sometimes 8 cpus,  Ubuntu Oneiric on Core i7 2670QM
[18:02] <riffautae> r3b00tx: yes linux will work in an extended partition unless you have a mac
[18:02] <r3b00tx> By this way ther will be 3 primary partitions and one extended partition comprising linux
[18:02] <riffautae> r3b00tx: sorry i missed where you said dell
[18:03] <bobweaver> What is the UDS ?
[18:03] <r3b00tx> riffautae, i have a dell machine which comes with 2 primary paritions for recovery by default. i dont want to touch this. i was trying to partition the remaining space
[18:03] <cyphase> bobweaver, Ubuntu Developer Summit
[18:03] <pangolin> !uds > bobweaver
[18:03] <riffautae> archy: in that case both pc;s can validly claim 1000 while the two switches communicate via 100 or something. double check that the switches are setup for a Gib Link between each other
[18:04] <bobweaver> tha ks cyphase  LIVE STEEAMS ???
[18:04] <ralph_> anyone programmer here ,i want to talk to him,PM
[18:04] <cyphase> *half the channel PM's ralph_*
[18:04] <riffautae> r3b00tx: you can also use lvm and just have 4 primary partitions and then all the linux stuff in the lvm on the 4th primary
[18:04] <archy> riffautae: yes they are, i copied much faster when on the now linux pc was still windows
[18:04] <r3b00tx> riffautae, so i could add another primary partition for windows and then the extended partition comprising linux mounts. am i right?
[18:04] <sianhulo> ralph_, i don't know
[18:04] <riffautae> archy: perhaps there is somethiung wrong with the network river on windows
[18:04] <riffautae> archy: driver
[18:04] <archy> well
[18:05] <him> nixmaniack: try dmidecode
[18:05] <riffautae> r3b00tx: yes that will work
[18:05] <sianhulo> when i try to install it tells that /cdrom is mounted and cannot be umounted su i cannot install
[18:05] <ralph_> sianhulo ,PM me
[18:05] <ralph_> ;)
[18:05] <nixmaniack> him, well what is it? and how to use it?
[18:05] <archy> riffautae: i didnt change the windows system, all i did is changing on my server from windows to linux, and now its slow, so i doubt it depends on the windows driver
[18:05] <riffautae> archy: if you put the linux box on the same switch does it go full speed? how about try hooking another pc to the linux switch to see which computer has the slow down
[18:05] <ralph_> there is no sufficient room here ;)
[18:05] <riffautae> archy: oh i see, sorry i mis read
[18:05] <bobweaver> pangolin,  Thanks  I knew what the summit was I just figured that alot of people would be wanting to watch some of the speeches and what not
[18:06] <him> nixmaniack: use terminal as root then type it... what is the bit of ur os 32/64?

[18:08] <ezeql> hi
[18:09] <bobweaver> what is antigua ?
[18:09] <ezeql> Ubuntu keeps freezing, its far away from being smooth
[18:09] <ezeql> what can i do?
[18:09] <bobweaver> bonaire ?
[18:09] <moonunitzappa> are you using unity ezeql?
[18:09] <ezeql> y
[18:09] <bobweaver> these are rooms at the resort ?
[18:09] <r3b00tx> riffautae, is there any performance improvement i could achieve if i used lvm scheme
[18:10] <moonunitzappa> I had the same problem, among a bunch of others when i upgraed to 11.10 and started using unity
[18:10] <moonunitzappa> so i went back to 1010
[18:10] <moonunitzappa> and everythign works flawlessly
[18:10] <tresorine> hello
[18:10] <moonunitzappa> like how it use to
[18:10] <nixmaniack> him, can you take a look? http://paste.ubuntu.com/727457/
[18:10] <tresorine> http://tresorine.hd.free.fr   does it works ?
[18:10] <ezeql> moonunitzappa,  u downgraded to 11.04?
[18:11] <lakom> i get this error when shuting down (dbus is installed, and the symlinks are right): Unable to connect to the system bus: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/...
[18:11] <riffautae> r3b00tx: no it wont be faster, it will just make changint the linux partitions easier later
[18:11] <moonunitzappa> I freshinstalled ezeql
[18:11] <archy> riffautae:  any ideas?
[18:11] <moonunitzappa> but yea i went from 11.10 to 10.10
[18:12] <r3b00tx> riffautae, will look into it, thanks for the time  dude :)
[18:12] <_jmp_> arges: :) works
[18:12] <arges> _jmp_, i'm back woo hoo
[18:13] <_jmp_> \o/
[18:13] <riffautae> archy: hdparm has a benchmarking mode, you could see if the raid is slwo for some reason
[18:14] <nixmaniack> him, only three lines with CPU, and only one is displaying it's model number. Now what should I do?
[18:15] <boxbeatsy> hi, when i log into a tightvnc session, my keyboard mapping is all off (arrow keys correspond to ABCD).  does anyone know what my problem might be?
[18:17] <him> nixmaniack: buddy as i know and seeing ur link i think u should try another distro,, ! as per my suggestion...
[18:17] <rilson> hi, I'm left handed, does anybody knows how can I enable Super_R key to act as Super_L key?
[18:18] <Dark_Apostrophe> Hello, I'm on 11.10 AMD64, and I want a 32-bit binary application to be able to load MP3 libraries, and it seems for that to work, they have to be 32-bit. Can I just manually install 32-bit debs of them, or... what would you suggest?
[18:18] <nixmaniack> him, why? is this issue related to kernel?
[18:19] <damiano> hi
[18:19] <nixmaniack> him, it was working fine in 11.04 but after upgrading this issue has started. and I guess it must be kernel related.
[18:19] <damiano> i have a prob here... i've installed Xubuntu, and i'm experiencing some probs with internet connection... i mean mainly from browsers. Tested only on Firefox and Chromium so far..
[18:19] <damiano> any clues?
[18:19] <damiano> sometimes it's on, sometimes off... i dont't get it
[18:20] <damiano> Xubuntu 11.10 amd64.
[18:20] <aeon-ltd> damiano: faulty ethernet cable?
[18:20] <damiano> don't think so.
[18:20] <damiano> Xchat works perfectly as you see.
[18:20] <damiano> and so as Software manager and other things.
[18:20] <damiano> something's fishy here...
[18:21] <Dark_Apostrophe> I'm on 11.10 AMD64, and I want a 32-bit binary application to be able to load MP3 libraries, and it seems for that to work, they have to be 32-bit. Can I just manually install 32-bit debs of them, or... what would you suggest?
[18:21] <adamkiscool> hey guys im running windows and i would like to migrate over to a linux OS , i thought Ubuntu would be the best choice
[18:21] <riffautae> adamkiscool: its a pretty good one
[18:21] <adamkiscool> hmm
[18:21] <damiano> at the moment it's working.
[18:21] <him> nixmaniack: buddy its not clear to me why the core of ur system is not equals to core enable !!!
[18:22] <riffautae> adamkiscool: of course this is the ubuntu room so we might be biased :)
[18:22] <adamkiscool> haha :D
[18:22] <adamkiscool> well
[18:22] <adamkiscool> ubuntu certainly looks the best out of them
[18:22] <Dark_Apostrophe> Anyone?
[18:23] <alexGlasgow> is "Power shell" on windows support linux shell commands?
[18:23] <riffautae> alexGlasgow: if its not close enough you could install cygwin
[18:23] <Dark_Apostrophe> alexGlasgow: AFAIK if you want Bash, you can install 32-bit GNU apps on Windows.
[18:23] <MonkeyDust> Dark_Apostrophe: look for ia32-lib something
[18:23] <bobweaver> For Real now opne knows where I can find a stream od UDS ???
[18:23] <Dark_Apostrophe> MonkeyDust: Would that include the MP3 decoder libraries? Seems unlikely
[18:23] <bobweaver> one *
[18:24] <bobweaver> !uds
[18:24] <nixmaniack> him, yeah, I just noticed that. there are four cores and only one is enabled, and there are 2 threads on that one core,
[18:24] <him> nixmaniack: but in my case its not
[18:24] <nixmaniack> him, actually all four core should be enabled and hyperthreading will make it 8
[18:25] <him> niaxmaniack: i think so..
[18:25] <nixmaniack> him, i'll try compiling new kernel
[18:26] <nixmaniack> him, btw thanks for trying to help ( atleast i learned of new utility ;) )
[18:26] <him> nixmaniack: if u can u may try... but its too cool job man!!!!
[18:27] <adamkiscool> is there anyone here who has recently moved over to Ubuntu from Windows?
[18:27] <him> adamkiscool: whats up man!
[18:27] <trism> bobweaver: the audio streams are here http://icecast.ubuntu.com:8000/status.xsl
[18:28] <adamkiscool> him: yeah ?
[18:28] <bobweaver> trism thanks

[18:28] <bobweaver> trism,  IS AWESOME     !!!!!!!!
[18:28] <adamkiscool> i need to know why i should use ubuntu
[18:29] <adamkiscool> why its so epic , as they say
[18:29] <bobweaver> video here it looks http://video.ubuntu.com/live/
[18:29] <adamkiscool> okay ill havea look
[18:29] <zykotick9> adamkiscool, a more appropriate question for #ubuntu-offtopic
[18:31] <adamkiscool> cool
[18:31] <adamkiscool> thanks
[18:32] <Dark_Apostrophe> MonkeyDust: ia32-libs did the trick, thanks :D
[18:33] <MonkeyDust> Dark_Apostrophe: we're here to learn :)
[18:33] <zykotick9> Dark_Apostrophe, (i didn't see your issue) but are you on 11.10?
[18:34] <Dark_Apostrophe> zykotick9: Yeah. My issue was that I couldn't get Songbird (which is not officially supported by developers, but some build 32-bit binaries for Linux) to play MP3s.
[18:35] <zykotick9> MonkeyDust, do you know are ia32-libs actually required with multi-arch compatible 11.10?  I though multi-arch did away with ia32libs?
[18:35] <ActionParsnip> Dark_Apostrophe: there are hundreds of MP3 players. Why choose a dead one?
[18:35] <MonkeyDust> zykotick9: can't, ia32-lib is just a trick I know of ;)
[18:36] <zykotick9> Dark_Apostrophe, i miss Songbird (was my favourite, but once they dropped gnu/linux support, i dropped it)
[18:36] <MonkeyDust> can't say*
[18:36] <zykotick9> MonkeyDust, ok, i know that's the old-school way of doing it.
[18:38] <ActionParsnip> There is a songbird fork called nightingale
[18:38] <alexGlasgow> how to edit panels on Ubuntu Unity? mouse right click doesn`t work :\
[18:39] <Dark_Apostrophe> zykotick9: Well, you can still get it, but in a binary form
[18:40] <zykotick9> Dark_Apostrophe, no thanks ;)
[18:40] <him> alexglasgow: which panel do u wana to edit? if the left sider  then it should to work...
[18:40] <|||||||||> hello ubuntu people
[18:40] <Dark_Apostrophe> zykotick9: http://wiki.songbirdnest.com/Developer/Articles/Builds/Contributed_Builds
[18:40] <Dark_Apostrophe> Oh, okay.
[18:40] <Beret> I have an app that unity is refusing to acknowledge it's running
[18:40] <Beret> is there a way to have unity "forget" a state of an app
[18:40] <alexGlasgow> him, upper one. and I want to get rid of this one the left. I wanna make my upper transparent
[18:41] <Dark_Apostrophe> Well, I tried a bunch of music players now on Ubuntu, and I found I don't like a single one (the one I dislike the least was Amarok, but it was poorly integrated into the Unity UI), so I decided to go for Songbird again, which has always been reliable
[18:41] <|||||||||> audacious looks real nice and works very well
[18:41] <ActionParsnip> Dark_Apostrophe: tried deadbeef?
[18:41] <Dark_Apostrophe> ActionParsnip: Not heard about it
[18:42] <Dark_Apostrophe> But now I got Songbird up and running, so I'm happy. :)
[18:42] <|||||||||> ActionParsnip, is that in the repositories?
[18:42] <ActionParsnip> Dark_Apostrophe: i suggest you do :-D there is a PPA
[18:43] <ActionParsnip> Deadbeef is super light too
[18:45] <Dark_Apostrophe> ActionParsnip: know its homepage (if it has one)? I might check out screenshots
[18:46] <ActionParsnip> http://deadbeef.sourceforge.net/screenshots.html
[18:46] <KoltMaesta> Hi! Is it possible to install pubuntu (or any other linux distro) on an asus windows mobile?
[18:47] <Dark_Apostrophe> ActionParsnip: Seems to abuse tabs.. :/   My favourite thing about Songbird is the filter panes
[18:48] <LuiCal1> hi, my mouse and keyboards are constantly freezing. I have an i5, 8gb ddr3, 1terra of hd, 4gb of swap. Please help
[18:49] <Toph2> how do I tell which gnome i'm running?
[18:49] <Dark_Apostrophe> I have a touchpad which supports multitouch, would it be possible to use Mac OS X-type multi-finger clicks? Like, two fingers clicking on a link opens it in a new tab? If so, how would I go about setting this up?
[18:49] <{reko}> hi to all

[18:52] <thegladiator> I dont have any Flash slowness problems , what flash player do you use
[18:52] <afeijo> thegladiator, there are more than one?
[18:53] <thegladiator> yes , adbobe , icedtea , and few more
[18:53] <afeijo> thegladiator, my ubuntu 11.04 is 64 bits

[18:54] <afeijo> I'm running adobe flash 11.0.1
[18:54] <Gentoo64_> afeijo: flash is slower in linux, but im not sure why
[18:54] <DarkG> not slow for me.
[18:54] <polardude1983> I can't install libglib2.0-0 because it breaks existing package libglib2.0-dev. Will uninstalling libglib2.0-dev cause problems?
[18:54] <Gentoo64_> if you have nvidia, it will be faster (it uses vdpau)
[18:55] <Gentoo64_> flash doesnt go slow for me, but on slower pcs, tit runs slower than windows
[18:55] <Gentoo64_> it* :p
[18:55] <afeijo> Gentoo64_, yes, nvidia here but with an old machine, near 3 years
[18:55] <thegladiator> Probably , my 5 year old laptop was fine with flash though it heats up
[18:55] <thegladiator> is the Adbobe flash player good on Linux as opposed to GNU alternatives
[18:55] <Gentoo64_> yes
[18:56] <Bomber_> Can anyone help me? Having an issue with 11.10 with flash not stretching to my full screen: http://i.imgur.com/Mxu7Z.jpg

[18:56] <thegladiator> hmmmm

[19:04] <ActionParsnip> coleix: is there no ppa?

[19:05] <LuiCal> hello, i need some help. Can anyone help me with my freezing keyboar/mouse problem?
[19:05] <nDuff> thegladiator, dpkg -l
[19:06] <him> Luical: try usb
[19:06] <nDuff> thegladiator, (that's listing, not searching, but rpm -qa is the same)
[19:06] <thegladiator> thanks , afeijo please verify your flash version 11 is having some bug update
[19:06] <trism> Dark_Apostrophe: unity has a whitelist of what system tray icons will show up, dconf-editor, desktop/unity/panel, add Pidgin to the systray-whitelist
[19:06] <coleix> is not in the software center and i try with the apt-get install and it doesnt work, suggestions?
[19:06] <thegladiator> yes , nDuff ofcourse I can grep it
[19:06] <Dark_Apostrophe> trism: Oh, thanks :D I'll see if I can find it
[19:06] <llutz> thegladiator: apt-cache search
[19:06] <FreeWilly> hi guys im a noob to linux but can work my way around
[19:06] <ActionParsnip> Dark_Apostrophe: the panel only shows some icons. You can tweak it to show more
[19:06] <boxbeatsy> hi, does anyone know how i can force ncftp to transfer files in binary mode?  the man page says it's binary by default, but that doesn't seem to be hte case
[19:06] <nDuff> llutz, rpm -qa is listing _installed_ packages, not _available_ packages
[19:06] <LuiCal> but sometimes the whole system freezes
[19:06] <nDuff> llutz, ...so dpkg -l really is the equivalent
[19:06] <FreeWilly> i have an samba service running on my linux box
[19:06] <FreeWilly> its been working fine for weeks
[19:07] <ActionParsnip> !ppa | coleix
[19:07] <FreeWilly> all of a sudden stopped working
[19:07] <thegladiator> yes nduff ids right
[19:07] <llutz> nDuff: sry, misread it
[19:07] <Dark_Apostrophe> trism: Is this pre-installed or do I need to find it myself?
[19:07] <Dark_Apostrophe> ActionParsnip: How?
[19:07] <FreeWilly> i pulled the log after cleaning the log, stopping and restarting: http://paste.ubuntu.com/727512/
[19:07] <him> Lucical: whats ur confg.?
[19:07] <FreeWilly> any helpo would be appreciated
[19:07] <ActionParsnip> coleix: searching software centre isn't going to make the system find you a ppa

[19:08] <kasztan85> hi
[19:08] <him> what os bit is 32/64?
[19:09] <trism> Dark_Apostrophe: dconf-editor is part of the dconf-tools package, you can use gsettings too, which is installed by default, but you need to: gsettings get com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist; edit the results and use gsettings set to set the value
[19:09] <thegladiator> for the first time in years distrowatch has mint almost 3 points near ubuntu ...
[19:09] <FreeWilly> ive check the configuration file its fine
[19:09] <thegladiator> I think it has a lot to do with the Unity experiment ?
[19:09] <LuiCal> 64 bit, but the same issue happenned with 32 bit ubuntu
[19:09] <him> luical: os 32/64?
[19:09] <LuiCal> 64
[19:09] <Dark_Apostrophe> trism: Thanks, I'll try :D
[19:09] <_numbers> is there a way to keep an ssh tunnel persistent across reboots, and auto-reconnect if down (e.g. remote site reboots)?
[19:09] <LuiCal> him: 64
[19:10] <him> luical: u new to linux?
[19:10] <riffautae> _numbers: ssh can survive short term network disconnects on its own. what in particular are you trying to tunnel?
[19:10] <tduke> should I resize partitions under ubuntu or windows on dual system
[19:10] <LuiCal> him: i used to have linux a few years ago, but i really forgot many things
[19:10] <Python13> oh this is an english irc channel?
[19:10] <riffautae> _numbers: there may be a specific tool for this situation
[19:10] <ActionParsnip> Dark_Apostrophe: http://m.zimbio.com/Ubuntu+Linux/articles/p-KINCKegNK/Ubuntu+11+10+Oneiric+Ocelot+Tips+Tweaks
[19:11] <coleix> ActionParsnip: im trying google but no luck.
[19:11] <_numbers> riffautae: well generally i'd like to tunnel any port i like and have that behavior enabled. specifically mysql and redis for now
[19:11] <him> luical: i think try diff. distro.
[19:11] <ActionParsnip> coleix: the link ubottu gave is all you need. You don't need to websearch
[19:12] <LuiCal> him: thanks
[19:12] <Dark_Apostrophe> trism:  gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist pidgin?
[19:12] <Dark_Apostrophe> trism: Or, how would I add it?
[19:12] <coleix> ActionParsnip: wunderlist doesnt show as a package apparently.
[19:14] <donavan01> does anyone know of a program that will let me use 2 or more generic webcams to send images to an FTP server or something like that I know about zoneminder but I think it may be a little more complaex than I need im trying to set up motion catpure for a securty system and I have to do it on the cheap so webcams rather than CCTV cameras
[19:15] <coleix> the .tgz have a couple of that i think work as installer but it wont do anything when opening with mouse, and gives an error when doing it through terminal
[19:15] <trism> Dark_Apostrophe: it needs to be a list, so you either need to see what the values already are (using gsettings get), then copy that list and append pidgin to the end, it will look something like this: ['JavaEmbeddedFrame', 'Mumble', 'Wine', 'Skype', 'hp-systray', 'Pidgin', 'update-notifier']
[19:15] <ActionParsnip> coleix: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/10/wunderlist-ubuntu-software-centre/
[19:15] <trism> Dark_Apostrophe: or you could use ['all'] and nothing will be blocked
[19:16] <thegladiator> right thanks
[19:16] <coleix> ActionParsnip: It doesnt apperar on ubuntu oneiric
[19:17] <riffautae> _numbers: you could put you ssh tunnel in init tab like this guy did http://www.deer-run.com/~hal/sysadmin/SSH-SyslogNG.html
[19:17] <ActionParsnip> coleix: its a paid for app, so may be elsewhere. That post is less than a month old. Try reading the WHOLE page
[19:18] <_numbers> riffautae: looking at autossh http://www.debianadmin.com/autossh-automatically-restart-ssh-sessions-and-tunnels.html
[19:18] <_numbers> and this init script https://gist.github.com/1337499
[19:18] <Dark_Apostrophe> trism: Ok, and then log out and log in again?
[19:19] <myk_robinson> ActionParsnip: afternoon. FIxed my window size issue by making a new user account and just moving my important stuff over...
[19:19] <tash> is this the appropriate channel to ask ubuntu-server questions?
[19:19] <trism> Dark_Apostrophe: yes
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> coleix: its free to download but you need to go through.the pay process to get it. Is what it says right there on the page....
[19:19] <Dark_Apostrophe> trism: Thanks :D I'll do it a bit later since I got some stuff I don't want to close right now
[19:20] <ActionParsnip> myk_robinson: its one way I guess :-)
[19:20] <myk_robinson> ActionParsnip: I wish I could have figured out how to properly fix it. Other users with the same issue.. But after this long, I just wanted results.. Made the user account to test, and found that the problem didn't occur in the new one..
[19:21] <riffautae> _numbers: that looks pretty good actually
[19:21] <coleix> ActionParsnip: But is not available in oneiric, there is a linux download on their home page and the file is a .tgz and i though would work, maybe i was wrong?
[19:22] <ActionParsnip> myk_robinson: you could have renamed or deleted the gnome config folders and rebooted to get vanilla settings there.
[19:22] <myk_robinson> ActionParsnip: trying to share my Music directory from the new account, I get this error     'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare add: failed to add share music. Error was Operation not permitted    Ideas?
[19:22] <myk_robinson> ActionParsnip: Dang... That is what I had been trying to find out was how to in effect reset the account..
[19:23] <ActionParsnip> coleix: the file will have install instructions inside

[19:23] <sileni> i'm trying to get vsftpd running on ubuntu
[19:23] <sileni> i do sudo apt-get install vsftpd
[19:23] <tash> haven't attempted this yet, but I have 2 hard drives, 1 80GB, 1 1TB.  I'd like to use the TB drive for data storage ( app and mysql db ).  Will it be easy to install Ubuntu Server on the 80GB and use the 1TB for data?
[19:23] <dkim1987> I am either not here or distracted by my Java codes
[19:24] <coleix> it has an executable but it gives me an error on terminal
[19:24] <sileni> I'am then able to connect locally but if i try to ftp into my computer from outside .. it fails to connect
[19:24] <riffautae> tash: by two hard drives, do you mean two computers with hdd of that size?
[19:24] <sileni> I beleive it could be firewall problem... what are some firewalls that are running on ubuntu
[19:24] <dkim1987> help
[19:24] <tash> riffautae: I mean twe separate hard disks ... 1 computer, 2 disks
[19:24] <tash> two*
[19:25] <ActionParsnip> myk_robinson: run:  sudo smbpasswd -a $USER    and make a credential. You can now connect as your username with the password you set.
[19:25] <riffautae> tash: if you just want to be able to access the 1tb drive from the os installed on the first one you can partition it and then mount it in /space or something and make it so your user can write to it, no server needed
[19:26] <riffautae> tash: if you want to be able to share all the data accross the network and install ubuntu on the 80gb drive ubuntu server would work for that. look into samba and ssh
[19:26] <sileni> or could it be some vsftpd config problem?
[19:26] <tash> riffautae: I mean, I am going to install the Ubuntu Server edition on a server computer.  I was wondering if the setup will walk me through partitioning
[19:26] <riffautae> tash: yes
[19:26] <tash> I want the first hard drive to have the OS, and I want the second hard drive to be accessible from the OS
[19:26] <myk_robinson> ActionParsnip: just out of curiosity, why on earth would anyone have guess at that to be able to share? I assume this isnt necessary with the first user...
[19:26] <llutz> sileni: "sudo lsof -i :21" does vsftpd listen on localhost only or all ifaces?
[19:26] <tash> and yeah, could mount it in something like /data or something
[19:27] <riffautae> tash: tell it to install to the first drive and then set up the other one separate
[19:27] <tash> riffautae: do you know which option I should choose when I get to the partioning section of setup?
[19:27] <sileni> llutz: doesn't seem to return anything when i run that command
[19:27] <ActionParsnip> myk_robinson: what OS is the client?
[19:27] <sileni> llutz: wait curlftps seems to come when i run that command
[19:27] <tash> riffaute: setup the other one separate later? like after the OS is installed?
[19:27] <myk_robinson> ActionParsnip: let me clarify, I am trying to setup a share within Ubuntu and getting the error. Screenshot coming, this should help
[19:28] <riffautae> tash: yea, if nothing jumps out at you during the install its pretty easy to partition and mount the other one later
[19:28] <tash> yeah, that makes sense
[19:28] <coleix> ActionParsnip: i tried ./Wunderlist wich is the executable but it has a problem with libcurl.so.4 and another executable in /Wunderlist/installer gives me the same error
[19:28] <myk_robinson> ActionParsnip: here ya go, and thanks again for answering     http://img7.imagebanana.com/img/jx2ar3z3/FolderSharing_001.png
[19:28] <ActionParsnip> myk_robinson: im about to hit work. Plus my web speed is dog slow
[19:28] <tash> riffautae: fdisk -l, right?
[19:28] <sileni> llutz: is that the problem? curlftps is listening where vsftpd should be?
[19:29] <myk_robinson> ActionParsnip: have fun at work. What do you do, by the way? I figured you were a dev or something.. Always knowledgable
[19:29] <w30> sileni, Windows computers want passive ftp which wants some ports in the 1024 range opened too. So check out that also or try an active ftp client
[19:29] <tash> riffautae: this looks like a good guide for me to follow http://www.ghacks.net/2009/09/10/add-a-second-drive-to-your-ubuntu-server/ what do you think?
[19:29] <llutz> sileni: you cannot have 2 services listening on one port at the same time
[19:29] <sileni> curlftpfs 4490 root    4u  IPv4 2790290      0t0  TCP 10.52.79.10:47388->10.52.65.35:ftp (CLOSE_WAIT) curlftpfs 4490 root    6u  IPv4 3445260      0t0  TCP 10.52.79.10:38792->10.52.65.35:ftp (CLOSE_WAIT)
[19:29] <sileni> that is the output of that lsof
[19:29] <ActionParsnip> myk_robinson: noc engineer
[19:29] <sileni> it is in closewait mode so that should not be problem
[19:29] <jnns> hey, I upgraded to oneiric and since then my keyboard is not working after logging in via lightdm. any idea what could cause this?
[19:29] <llutz> sileni: thats  client connection to ftp
[19:30] <llutz> sileni: your vsftpd doesn't run at all
[19:30] <myk_robinson> Need some help with a sharing problem in 11.10   Screenshot here:  http://img7.imagebanana.com/img/jx2ar3z3/FolderSharing_001.png
[19:30] <gigastress> hi guys and gals, can someone help me setting up lvm on lucid for a whole disc encryption?
[19:30] <coleix> anyone else can help me out with wunderlist for oneiric? "it gives me an error error while loading shared libraries: libcurl.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
[19:31] <Master69> Hello Guys
[19:31] <riffautae> tash: that would be reasonable, however instead of chmod -R 777 you could chown :users /data  then   chmod -R g+s /data    to be a little more secure
[19:31] <sileni> llutz: sorry forgot to bring it back up
[19:31] <sileni> llutz: vsftpd    24977 root    3u  IPv4 3513256      0t0  TCP *:ftp (LISTEN)
[19:31] <sileni> so it is listing
[19:32] <llutz> sileni: sudo iptables -vL
[19:32] <sileni> llutz: listening*
[19:32] <riffautae> tash: this would make it so anyone in the 'users' group can write to the dir and anything they add will be modifiable by anyone in the group automaticly
[19:32] <sileni> llutz: what should i look for ?
[19:32] <llutz> sileni: rules affecting ftp
[19:32] <riffautae> tash: but protect them from any system processes like apache
[19:32] <gigastress> hi guys and gals, can someone help me setting up lvm on lucid for a whole disc encryption?
[19:33] <llutz> sileni: are you behind a router? you need portforwarding if you want to connect from outside then
[19:33] <riffautae> tash: also you might use ext4 instead of ext3, but any file system will work
[19:33] <riffautae> tash: these settings are what i use on my personal file server
[19:34] <sileni> llutz: http://pastebin.com/qHU8yz8K
[19:34] <aaronh5> does anyone know why gedit saves my file, along with a file with the same name and appending a ~ to the end
[19:34] <tash> riffautae: just curious, why ext4 as opposed to ext3
[19:34] <riffautae> tash: it is a newer file system with more features
[19:35] <riffautae> tash: also in the comments on that page someone reccommends using UUID, you might look into that
[19:36] <sileni> llutz: not behind router...
[19:36] <sileni> llutz: the other computer is on the same network
[19:36] <llutz> sileni: checked logs?
[19:36] <sileni> llutz: of?
[19:37] <w0_> when I was using 11.04, I could ctrl-alt-numpad to resize windows and arrange them on the screen.  with 11.10 I can't repeatedly type the keycombo to use different sizes..  anyone know what's up with that?
[19:37] <llutz> sileni:  /var/log/vsftpd.log
[19:37] <VileFumes> so my mouse clicks are not making it through the 2d gui.
[19:38] <sileni> llutz: log doesn't show anything
[19:38] <VileFumes> i can move through with the keyboard, hit enter, tab...but 11.10? sound issues, mousepad issues, the same old intel hardware issues, the same network manager issues...
[19:38] <VileFumes> crack some heads.
[19:38] <sileni> llutz: on the other computer, it keeps saying host rejected the connection
[19:40] <{reko}> hi too all y have a big probrem with my server ipcop is not worling the VPN outside from network but inside is working
[19:41] <w0_> ctrl+alt+numpad doesn't do nearly as much in 11.10 as it did in 11.04 -- am I missing something?
[19:41] <geomaster> w0_: i've noticed it too, don't know why tho. could be unity.
[19:41] <{reko}> don't want to help me :(
[19:41] <FreeWIlly_> {reko}: plz pvt me, i got dc
[19:41] <tash> riffautae: thanks
[19:43] <w0_> geomaster: I dono why they would ruin such a nice feature!! =|
[19:43] <sileni> llutz: any other ideas :(?
[19:44] <geomaster> w0_: they ruined so much nice features that i'm now downloading fedora with kde... i feel sorry for ubuntu which i have been using for a long time but what the hell. they really effed it up.
[19:44] <llutz> sileni: aynthing in /etc/hosts.[allow|deny]?
[19:44] <sileni> llutz: no :\
[19:45] <w0_> geomaster: i know it, eh?  tho I have to admit, unity is kinda refreshing compared to kde and gnome
[19:47] <ezeql> Unity works like hell on ubuntu 11.10 , what can i do?
[19:47] <geomaster> ezeql: you can install gnome 3 (sudo apt-get install gnome-shell), but I can't decide which of the two is worse.
[19:47] <w0_> eaeql:  can't get the different placement-widths when using ctrl-alt-numpad .. hope that makes sense
[19:47] <w0_> ezeql:  can't get the different placement-widths when using ctrl-alt-numpad .. hope that makes sense
[19:48] <geomaster> w0_: unity would have been a great thing if it didn't have so many bugs.
[19:48] <TheLastPoet> is ther ea while to scan the contents of all files on a server for a specific term
[19:48] <TheLastPoet> ?
[19:48] <w0_> so far, this is the only bug that really affects how I use my computer..
[19:48] <causative> The background image doesn't seem to work for Terminal anymore... it used to
[19:49] <w0_> course I oupgraded only two days ago. ahahah
[19:49] <causative> I just upgraded to 10.04
[19:49] <themoebius> hey, I just deleted some huge log files to clear some space, but df i still reporting 100% disk usage. How can I get it to refresh?
[19:49] <w0_> what does 'repro' mean? -- found it on a bug reporting site.
[19:49] <causative> and the terminal background image I had set is gone and in the profile for terminal if I set it, it has no effect
[19:49] <causative> w0_, maybe "reproduced"?
[19:49] <causative> they could reproduce the bug?
[19:50] <w0_> causative: ahh gracias
[19:50] <gdiazc> Hello, the following command: "sudo aptitude install libapr1-dev" gives me the following error: "E: Failed to fetch http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/p/postgresql-9.1/libpq5_9.1.1-2_amd64.deb: 404  Not Found"... Help, please! :D
[19:50] <bindi> How can I get automatic updates (for everything, not just security)? I'd like them to be installed every sunday at 4 am and then reboot if necessary
[19:50] <w30> causative, make sure you have opacity set right
[19:50] <causative> o that works now thanks w30
[19:51] <w0_> it IS a bug .. not a removed feature .. there's no diff between ctrl-alt-9 and ctrl-alt-8 !!
[19:51] <geomaster> themoebius: this might sound stupid, but if you used nautilus to delete them, did you clean the trash?
[19:51] <w0_> if only I were a super hacker I would fix it
[19:52] <themoebius> geomaster: I'm running ubuntu server so everything is by command line - I just used rm
[19:52] <causative> w0_, if they are saying they couldn't reproduce it, that means they aren't denying it's a bug, they are denying it happens at all
[19:52] <causative> or they can't figure out how to make it happen on their machine
[19:52] <w0_> well they're saying that CAN reproduce it ..  here's the link I found:
[19:52] <sileni> hmm
[19:52] <geomaster> themoebius: hmm, no idea then. how big were the logfiles?
[19:52] <w0_> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/878513
[19:52] <themoebius> geomaster: a little over 3GB
[19:53] <ActionParsnip> bindi: you can cron a script to run when you wish (you can use gnome-schedule if you have a desktop UI) and use a script like this one: http://pastebin.com/4X6z8QA4
[19:53] <w0_> ty, ubottu =P
[19:53] <ActionParsnip> bindi: I have similar but mine's a bit more complex and uses apt-fast :)
[19:53] <bindi> ActionParsnip: what's that? :>
[19:54] <cesurasean1> Bus 003 Device 109: ID 046d:089d Logitech, Inc. QuickCam E2500 series  - having trouble installing this webcam to work with skype!! please help!
[19:54] <gdiazc> Hello, the following command: "sudo aptitude install libapr1-dev" gives me the following error: "E: Failed to fetch http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/p/postgresql-9.1/libpq5_9.1.1-2_amd64.deb: 404 Not Found"... Help, please :D
[19:55] <pangolin> gdiazc: you are running debian?
[19:55] <gdiazc> no, it's Ubuntu 11.04...
[19:55] <gdiazc> not sure why it tries to download from debian
[19:55] <selma_ter> I use Ubuntu 11.10. Toda after updates, my nautilus can not search any folder from "network shared folders". When i try with gksudo nautilus it gives this error when i click to network folders: "Nautilus cannot handle "network" locations." . Can someone help me please? Thank you!
[19:55] <ActionParsnip> bindi: a script to run updates but saying yes to all options so that it just installs without prompts
[19:56] <hax> 7'
[19:56] <w0_> FYI, the ctrl-alt-numpad bug is not present after a fresh install, but after updates after a fresh install.  freaky
[19:56] <bindi> ActionParsnip: alright, but that script you gave me, it will install all updates available and reboot if needed?
[19:56] <myk_robinson> Need help with a share. I can share my Templates, but not my Music folder. Permissions appear to be the same. Screenshot of the error here   http://img6.imagebanana.com/img/p4jiskk5/FolderSharing_004.jpeg
[19:57] <ActionParsnip> bindi: it won't reboot but will install updates
[19:57] <w0_> "Found out that reverting "compiz-plugins-main-default" from version 0.9.6-0ubuntu4 to 0.9.6-0ubuntu2 solves this particular problem." --- how do I do that?
[19:57] <selma_ter> I use Ubuntu 11.10. Toda after updates, my nautilus can not search any folder from "network shared folders". When i try with gksudo nautilus it gives this error when i click to network folders: "Nautilus cannot handle "network" locations." . Can someone help me please? Thank you!
[19:57] <bindi> ActionParsnip: well i need to reboot if needed :p don't want to reboot for nothing
[19:58] <glioros> How can I install the "Greek" locales in Ubuntu?
[19:58] <ActionParsnip> bindi: There may be a variable or file which is set when a reboot is needed. If you can find that out you can query it in the script and reboot if necessary
[19:58] <crazydip> Xorg totally broke after update 1h ago! Compiz no longer works, says Xlib extension "GLX" missing. Using Intel chip i915 - compiz has always worked before.
[19:58] <glioros> How can I install the "Greek" locales in Ubuntu?
[19:59] <crazydip> Any ideas? Weird that update had no packages linked to Xorg, compiz or xlib :(
[19:59] <gdiazc> The following: "sudo aptitude install libapr1-dev" gives me the following error: "E: Failed to fetch http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/p/postgresql-9.1/libpq5_9.1.1-2_amd64.deb: 404 Not Found"... I'm on Ubuntu 11.04. Help :D
[20:00] <crazydip> gdiazc, I don't think you should be using debian archives with ubuntu :/
[20:00] <crazydip> gdiazc, but, it looks like apt-get update failed.. try it again
[20:00] <selma_ter> I use Ubuntu 11.10. Today after updates, my nautilus can not search any folder from "network shared folders". When i try with gksudo nautilus it gives this error when i click to network folders: "Nautilus cannot handle "network" locations." . Can someone help me please? Thank you!
[20:00] <gdiazc> crazydip: Yeah, I'm not the administrator but I have admin privileges... how can I change this?
[20:01] <zykotick9> gdiazc, very bad idea to mix debian/ubuntu repos
[20:01] <sileni> guys http://pastebin.com/SQCKGSZA that is my vsftpd config file
[20:01] <sileni> is something amiss?
[20:01] <ActionParsnip> bindi: may help: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1012637.html
[20:01] <crazydip> gdiazc, remove the debian repo :)
[20:01] <sileni> linux channel member states that usually vsftpd config would be amiss before some firewall is blocking
[20:01] <gdiazc> crazydip: I'm on ssh.. how do i do that with command-line?
[20:02] <crazydip> gdiazc, btw,  libapr1-dev exists in the regular ubuntu repos
[20:02] <myk_robinson> ActionParsnip: got my sharing problem solved. I was trying to use a share name that already existed. Figured that one out by accident..
[20:02] <ActionParsnip> bindi: seemif you check for the file /var/run/reboot-required   then a reboot is required
[20:02] <gdiazc> crazydip: Can I tell aptitude to install that library from the ubuntu repo without removing the debian repo?
[20:03] <bindi> ActionParsnip: yeah just found that :p
[20:03] <ActionParsnip> myk_robinson: d'oh
[20:03] <Panagiotis13> help guys!
[20:03] <crazydip> gdiazc, yeah, but the whole thing having a debian repo is a super bad idea
[20:03] <bindi> ActionParsnip: it says "*** System restart required ***" but the top right shutdown button isnt red
[20:03] <crazydip> gdiazc, because it will mix packages
[20:03] <myk_robinson> ActionParsnip: got a quick command to list all shares? I need to terminate that other one, but the user no longer exists.. I guess I could just remove the old directory, and the share should die with it?
[20:03] <Panagiotis13> anyone knows how to fix my SUPER+W key combo?
[20:03] <gdiazc> crazydip: Or, can I remove the debian repo without messing up all the packages that have been installed with the debian repo?
[20:03] <ActionParsnip> bindi: that just looks for the file, you can add the check to the script and reboot if it is needed
[20:04] <gdiazc> crazydip: I can imagine.. but I recently started working on this machine and I didn't add that repo myself../
[20:04] <bindi> ActionParsnip: I mean shouldn't I see a red button in ubuntu 11.10 when a restart is required?
[20:04] <crazydip> gdiazc, go to /etc/apt/sources.list and comment out debian repo if they exist, then go to /etc/apt/sources.d and find if there are any debian repos there
[20:04] <selma_ter> I use Ubuntu 11.10. Today after updates, my nautilus can not search any folder from "network shared folders". When i try with gksudo nautilus it gives this error when i click to network folders: "Nautilus cannot handle "network" locations." . Can someone help me please? Thank you!
[20:04] <Panagiotis13> anyone? my super+w isnt working
[20:05] <bindi> ActionParsnip: the file is there right now and inside it is "*** System restart required ***". I don't see it on the shutdown menu though
[20:05] <gdiazc> crazydip: Ok, but packages downloaded from debian will remain or will they be erased?
[20:05] <crazydip> gdiazc, your playing with fire right now... if you already have debian packages installed you have a big problem, BUT so long as your system works right now it'll probably be ok
[20:06] <crazydip> gdiazc, debian packages will remain - you just wont have access to new ones
[20:06] <Panagiotis13> anyone willing to help? pls msg me
[20:06] <gdiazc> crazydip: ok great.. I can't imagine why the added the debian repo
[20:06] <bekks> Panagiotis13: No. Just ask in here.
[20:06] <crazydip> gdiazc, no one can tell you if everything will be fine in the future because you may have some package conflit down the road
[20:06] <zaurav> can I view man pages with yelp? if so how?
[20:06] <Panagiotis13> okey, so my super+w key is not working
[20:06] <Panagiotis13> anyone knows how to fix it?
[20:06] <crazydip> gdiazc, try to find out why that repo is there in the first place... maybe that'll give you a clue
[20:07] <dibs> can anyone tell me how to rebuild my boot sequence on ubuntu as I don't get gui at the moment but can launch it if I open in recovery mode
[20:07] <gdiazc> crazydip: I'm trying "sudo synaptic"
[20:07] <crazydip> gdiazc, i thought you were on a server.... synaptic is a gui program
[20:08] <black__> ATI prop driver: When I click to make changes with it, the changes will not apply for dual monitors... anyone know what the deal is 11.10
[20:08] <gdiazc> crazydip: I did "ssh -XY" to send the gui...
[20:08] <kyan> Hello! How can I use parted to convert a gpt disk to mbr?
[20:08] <crazydip> gdiazc, anyway, i suggest you don't delete the debian repo's just comment them out to disable them just in case you have to re-enable them if something goes wrong
[20:08] <escott> kyan, use gdisk
[20:09] <gdiazc> crazydip: ok, i'll just do it as you say
[20:09] <Panagiotis13> how can i restore my super+w key combo? can i do it using CompizConfig?
[20:09] <julian_> any person talk spanish?
[20:09] <crazydip> gdiazc, then after disabling all debian repos apt-get update and then apt-get upgrade to see if anything comes up
[20:09] <mr_daniel> I have a server running Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS and want to run Ubuntu 11.10 guests. So I thought using vmbuilder is a good idea, but when I try to create a gueast I get an error:http://pastebin.com/592dAWVt
[20:09] <zykotick9> !es | julian_
[20:09] <crazydip> gdiazc, good luck!
[20:09] <mr_daniel> Basically what I try it:
[20:09] <mr_daniel> $ vmbuilder kvm ubuntu --suite oneiric --flavour virtual --addpkg acpid --user test --pass test123
[20:10] <julian_> zykotick9, are you talk spanish? i have a problem.. :S
[20:10] <kyan> escott: gdisk isn't on the machine.
[20:10] <julian_> with parent proxy...
[20:10] <mr_daniel> I don't know, but is vmbuilder only able to generate a 10.04 guest on a 10.04 host? That would be bad, because I want to run a 11.10 guest
[20:10] <zykotick9> julian_, i don't speak spanish no, "/join #ubuntu-es"
[20:10] <kyan> escott: I'm using mondorestore with a mac.
[20:10] <escott> kyan, then install it but its much safer to use gdisk which can create a hybrid partition
[20:10] <crazydip> GLX no longer works after updating today! On intel i915. Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0". Can anyone help?
[20:10] <sileni> any other ideas guys?
[20:10] <gdiazc> gdiazc: Thanks! I found "deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free" in sources.list
[20:10] <kyan> escott: I'll try then.
[20:10] <dmart> whois marcules
[20:11] <kyan> escott: thanks!
[20:11] <gdiazc> crazydip: Thanks! I found "deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free" in sources.list, and nothing that says debian in sources.list.d
[20:12] <semitones> How do you gksu in KDE?
[20:12] <ActionParsnip> bindi: the file is how the system knows it needs a reboot. So in the script which will run every day you can have it see if that file is present and reboot if it is, otherwise it is not needed due to reboots and can be left running til the next time the script runs
[20:12] <crazydip> gdiazc, ok, just comment that line out with a # and then apt-get update and then apt-get upgrade
[20:12] <gdiazc> crazydip: Should I run "aptitude update" and "aptitude install libapr1-dev" now?
[20:12] <ActionParsnip> bindi: I don't know about the Gnome button being red, never noticed and I stopped using gnome desktop a long time ago
[20:12] <usuario_> hellow
[20:12] <bindi> ActionParsnip: yeah i was just confused... i see the file, but ubuntu itself isnt telling me it needs to reboot
[20:12] <gdiazc> crazydip: ok, what does upgrade do?
[20:12] <usuario_> how are you
[20:13] <gdiazc> crazydip: it doesn't give me ubuntu 11.10 right?
[20:13] <usuario_> mada facker
[20:13] <crazydip> no... it just updates the current packages you have to the newest version in the current version of ubuntu... man apt-get to find out :)
[20:13] <Drone4four> Ubuntu LiveCDs fail to boot.  full problem discussed in my thread on the forums here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1874714
[20:13] <usuario_> what what
[20:14] <usuario_> mada facker
[20:14] <bindi> ActionParsnip: what's the correct way to reboot then?
[20:14] <bindi> ActionParsnip: i mean like.. theres reboot and reboot now (i think) and shutdown -r now
[20:14] <usuario_> me the Mexico
[20:14] <usuario_> no speck english
[20:14] <ActionParsnip> bindi: in a script you can use:  shutdown -r now    If you cron as root (as the updates need the extra access) it will happen just fine
[20:15] <ezeql> wow, im now on gnome3... Unity really worked like HELL
[20:15] <bindi> ActionParsnip: already doing that ;) seems it's all set then

[20:26] <scwizard> so I do: sed -i s/a/b\\\/c/g file
[20:26] <scwizard> why do I need three \?
[20:27] <scwizard> (I just added backslashes until it worked)
[20:27] <marcules> [21:10:58] <dmart> whois marcules
[20:27] <marcules> I Am what I Am
[20:28] <dAnjou> scwizard: use : or something else as seperator
[20:28] <gdiazc> crazydip: Are you still available?
[20:28] <dAnjou> *separator
[20:29] <scwizard> dAnjou: oh yeah, that would probably be prudent
[20:29] <dAnjou> this doesn't answer the question
[20:29] <scwizard> I'm still curious why 3 though, and not like 1 or 2 or 4
[20:29] <dAnjou> i know :P

[20:31] <kyan> Hello! How can I mount a flashdrive from busybox?
[20:31] <usuario_> what
[20:31] <usuario_> way
[20:32] <kyan> !es | usuario
[20:32] <usuario_> what
[20:32] <gdiazc> Hello, "sudo aptitude install apache2-prefork-dev" gives me the following error: "unmet dependencies:" ... "...resolve these dependencies: Keep the following packages at their current version: 1) apache2-prefork-dev [Not Installed] 2) libaprutil1-dev [Not Installed]"... Help, please!
[20:35] <kyan> How can I find the dev file for a flashdrive, and then mount it?
[20:36] <mrdeb> kyan, u can do umount /dev/sdb1 or c depends
[20:36] <Dark_Apostrophe> trism: The Pidgin tray icon works now, following your advice. Thank you! :)
[20:36] <kyan> mrdeb: thanks!
[20:37] <mrdeb> i mean umount --mount /dev/sdb1
[20:37] <mrdeb> no udisks, sorry
[20:37] <ArmyMan007> hello... i have synaptic installed on ubuntu 11.10 but i can't seem to find it.. where is it at?
[20:37] <chilla> hi, does the busybox of ubuntu support mounting squashfs?
[20:38] <trism> Dark_Apostrophe: you're welcome, glad it works
[20:38] <gdiazc> Hi! "sudo aptitude install apache2-prefork-dev" gives me the following error: "unmet dependencies:" ... "...resolve these dependencies: Keep the following packages at their current version: 1) apache2-prefork-dev [Not Installed] 2) libaprutil1-dev [Not Installed]"... Help, please!
[20:39] <glioros> what is the command to delete a file ?
[20:39] <kyan> mrdeb: Ah, thanks.
[20:39] <ArmyMan007> hello... i have synaptic installed on ubuntu 11.10 but i can't seem to find it.. where is it at?
[20:39] <gdiazc> rm filename
[20:39] <mrdeb> ok
[20:39] <kyan> mrdeb: I was getting an invalid argument error (I used fdisk to check the dev file)
[20:40] <kyan> so I'll try it with --mount.
[20:40] <mrdeb> kyan, what do you mean. you have to install udisks and then go 'udisks --mount /dev/sdb1 if b is the usb drive
[20:40] <glioros> gdiazc cannot remove is a directory
[20:41] <kyan> mrdeb: Ohhh. Ok.
[20:41] <gdiazc> glioros: for the directory do "rm -r directoryname"
[20:41] <mrdeb> from terminal
[20:41] <kyan> mrdeb: I thought I could type umount --mount /dev/sdb1 like in the example.
[20:41] <mrdeb> sorry it is udisks --mount
[20:41] <kyan> mrdeb: Ok I'll try udisks.
[20:41] <ArmyMan007> where can i find update manager and synaptic in ubuntu 11.10?
[20:42] <bakarat> i'm looking for conference call software that does not require a central server, any ideas?
[20:42] <kyan> mrdeb: udisk isn't installed.
[20:42] <gdiazc> Hi! "sudo aptitude install apache2-prefork-dev" gives me the following error: "unmet dependencies:" ... "...resolve these dependencies: Keep the following packages at their current version: 1) apache2-prefork-dev [Not Installed] 2) libaprutil1-dev [Not Installed]"... Any tips?
[20:42] <mrdeb> yes so you can go apt-get install udisks
[20:42] <Guinness2702> Anybody know how I can tell the resolver to try the other servers, if the first entry in resolv.conf returns "not found" ???
[20:42] <kyan> mrdeb: the purpose of the flash drive was to install some partition management software (the machine isn't online).
[20:43] <ArmyMan007> where can i find update manager and synaptic in ubuntu 11.10?
[20:43] <mrdeb> ok
[20:43] <kyan> mrdeb: so I can't install anything without the flash drive, and I can't use the flash drive without installing something.
[20:43] <riffautae> Guinness2702: it should automaticcly do that
[20:43] <kyan> mrdeb: :-P
[20:44] <Guinness2702> riffautae, no, it only tries the next one if it fails to connect to the DN Server.  If it *successfully* connects, but that returns "not found" it doesn't look at the others
[20:44] <kyan> mrdeb: what should I do about that?
[20:44] <escott> Guinness2702, your local dns neeeds to be first
[20:45] <mrdeb> im not sure. maybe yo can install it offline with deb file
[20:45] <riffautae> Guinness2702: i see, odd
[20:45] <bjrohan> Hello, first time on this channel haven't used IRC for about a decade :-)
[20:45] <mrdeb> hi bj, welcome
[20:45] <riffautae> Guinness2702: well I guess not that odd, is there a particular domain name it is having issues with?
[20:45] <kyan> mrdeb: well I couldn't get the deb file without using the flash drive.
[20:45] <bjrohan> thanks
[20:45] <guntbert> Guinness2702: thats the way it is - sorry
[20:45] <ArmyMan007> where can i find update manager and synaptic in ubuntu 11.10?
[20:45] <riffautae> Guinness2702: the hosts file or a local dns server might help with that
[20:46] <Guinness2702> escott it's on a vpn, and I only want it got go to vpn's dns if it fails in the real world - e.g. if myhost.work.net, I want it to try the vpn, only after the real world returns not found
[20:46] <mrdeb> ArmyMan007: you can use apt-get to install in terminal
[20:46] <fhtagn> howdy! any idea on how I can extract a .psarc file ? (compressed)
[20:46] <kyan> mrdeb: I could burn a cd with the software on it, but the system is running from a cd.
[20:46] <ArmyMan007> mrdeb: what exactly does it do? synaptic or update manager?
[20:46] <ActionParsnip> ArmyMan007: synaptic can be installed using software centre or apt-get it isn't in a default install but is available
[20:47] <mrdeb> ArmyMan007: it can install or remove of find files but u do it with commands
[20:47] <Guinness2702> riffautae, yeah, I could do that, but I don't want to duplicate the vpn's entire dns locally, and then keep it up to date :(
[20:47] <ArmyMan007> ActionParsnip: i already installed it via software center, can't find it in applications
[20:47] <Guinness2702> guntbert, so, there's no way I can get resolver to behave this way (without hacking the code myself) ??
[20:47] <bjrohan> I just recently installed Ubuntu 11.10 on a laptop, and I am using a wireless connection to get online. It seems my connection is slow though on Ubuntu, a lot slower than on Windoze
[20:47] <bjrohan> I have it set up as a WPA2, and hidden SSID
[20:48] <riffautae> Guinness2702: you might be able to get the local dns server to just cache and load from both dns servers rather then manually copy the dns
[20:48] <bjrohan> any thoughts to help it run better?
[20:48] <gdiazc> Hello! "sudo aptitude install apache2-prefork-dev" gives me the following error: "unmet dependencies:" ... "...resolve these dependencies: Keep the following packages at their current version: 1) apache2-prefork-dev [Not Installed] 2) libaprutil1-dev [Not Installed]"... Any tips?
[20:48] <ActionParsnip> ArmyMan007: hmm, possibly try pressing ALT+F2 and run:  unity --replace    it may update dash
[20:48] <mrdeb> ArmyMan007: go alt+f2 and type in synaptic
[20:48] <jackson> exit
[20:48] <Guest94355> #exit
[20:48] <Guinness2702> riffautae, yeah, but if the cache got a miss, it would still go to the vpn first
[20:49] <ArmyMan007> mrdeb: but how do i get it to show on my menu? note that i'm using classis GNOME version
[20:49] <kyan> mrdeb: should I try burning a cd (can you say overkill for burning an 81k executable to a cd) and using that anyway?
[20:49] <riffautae> Guinness2702: i'm just imagining that the dns cacher might be more configurable
[20:49] <guntbert> Guinness2702: not to my knowledge, because the  behavior you want would normally only increase answer times for non existant domains
[20:50] <mrdeb> kyan, ok you can try
[20:50] <kyan> mrdeb: ok thanks… :-P
[20:50] <mrdeb> army no, it will show up after reboot sometim thou
[20:50] <meron> Is it possible to hibernate from the terminal?
[20:50] <RxDx> whats the shortcut key to show desktop? super+D isnt working anymore
[20:51] <ArmyMan007> mrdeb: i rebooted 2 times, and it still doesn't show up... stupid 11.10, never trust a .10 upgrade..
[20:51] <sodiumnitrate> gnome?
[20:51] <mrdeb> rxdx, try ctrl alt d
[20:51] <mrdeb> army did you reboot or add manual
[20:51] <mrdeb> i mean log out
[20:51] <Guinness2702> guntbert, yep, makes sense for default configuration, totally, but I want to customise.  I can't be the only person in the world who doesn't want work to have access to every dns query I make, only the ones on the vpn.  I don't suppose there's any way to redirect queries on a domain basis.....hmm, I wonder if I could set up a fake mywork.com record locally, with the work NS for that domain, and everything else to the world....hmm,
[20:51] <Guinness2702>  sounds like a lotta work :(
[20:51] <ArmyMan007> mrdeb: like i wrote, i rebooted at leaset 2 times after installing synaptic
[20:52] <RxDx> mrdeb, works, thanks :)
[20:52] <mrdeb> well you can add shortcut manually to unity
[20:52] <mrdeb> ok rx
[20:52] <escott> Guinness2702, or tell your employer to provide you a machine for work
[20:52] <riffautae> Guinness2702: if its only one top level domain you could make the local dns server claim to be the master dns server for that domain and have it cache from the one on the vpn
[20:53] <riffautae> Guinness2702: such as example.com
[20:53] <Guinness2702> escott, lol, I won't be accessing work from home that much - just wondering if I can have it set up all the time
[20:53] <Guinness2702> riffautae, yeah, that's sorta what I was thinking...but that means setting up a local DNS lol
[20:54] <guntbert> Guinness2702: my way: I use my standard NS for the world and my brain (or /etc/hosts) for the VPN
[20:54] <ArmyMan007> mrdeb: like i wrote, i rebooted at leaset 2 times after installing synaptic
[20:54] <gdiazc> Hello! "sudo aptitude install apache2-prefork-dev" gives me the following error: "unmet dependencies:" ... "...resolve these dependencies: Keep the following packages at their current version: 1) apache2-prefork-dev [Not Installed] 2) libaprutil1-dev [Not Installed]"... Any tips?
[20:54] <mrdeb> well army u can try to add it with gconf for the shortcut
[20:55] <ArmyMan007> mrdeb: how do i do that?
[20:55] <Guinness2702> guntbert, yeah, but in theory, there's something like 100 VM's I can access for work + other stuff.  don't want to copy all that out.
[20:55] <mrdeb> i think it is gconf-editor
[20:55] <Guinness2702> was hoping I could just get the resolver to do it for me
[20:55] <Guinness2702> ahh well, if it doesn't, it doesn't
[20:55] <kuchiku> whta app can i use to edit pdf in ubuntu?
[20:56] <riffautae> Guinness2702: you could also use a socks proxy and set your software to send dns through it
[20:56] <riffautae> Guinness2702: firefox supports this
[20:56] <mrdeb> kuchi, pdf edit
[20:56] <guntbert> Guinness2702: understandable - but I never took a look into that part of DNS config - so no more ideas here
[20:56] <Guinness2702> riffautae, I probably ssh as much as http
[20:57] <Guinness2702> guntbert, yeah, I guess if I wanna do it, I'm gonna have to set up a DNS - done it before when I had dial up to save bandwidth, but barely worth the effort for this lol
[20:57] <Atreus> hokay, so, when i click on "Add an account" in evolution's account assistant, it quits and nothing happens. :(
[20:57] <kuchiku> whta app can i use to edit pdf in ubuntu?
[20:57] <Guest13784> I did upgrade 10.04 to 11.04. my postgres 8.4 doesn't work anymore, so the upgrade install postgres 9.1. now i cannot use my application with postgres 9.1. database connection error. any help? thanks

[21:10] <fatninja> Why gedit doesn't work ? Just sudo gedit , on the last version of ubuntu ?
[21:11] <gdiazc> do you have gedit? what does "which gedit" return?
[21:11] <ActionParsnip> fatninja: use gksudo for gedit, not sudo
[21:12] <ActionParsnip> fatninja: what happens if you run gedit in terminal without gk/sudo
[21:12] <fatninja> ok, I don't know what I did, how I did it , but now gedit works.
[21:13] <guntbert> gdiazc: please run sudo aptitude update before anything else
[21:13] <fatninja> it doesn't work when I try : edit file.
[21:13] <fatninja> *gedit file
[21:13] <fatninja> from within the terminal, ofcourse
[21:13] <ActionParsnip> fatninja: what does the terminal output when you try?
[21:13] <fatninja> nothing, it just hangs
[21:14] <fatninja> and no window appears
[21:14] <fatninja> if I type gedit, the window appears without a problem
[21:14] <darius_> I'm getting this error after attempting an apt-get upgrade dpkg: error: unable to access dpkg status area: Read-only file system
[21:15] <ActionParsnip> fatninja: any output in the terminal after you run the command that doesn't work?
[21:15] <fatninja> now gedit stopped working as well, sorry for making all this confusing, but I'm very confused myself.
[21:15] <ActionParsnip> darius_: boot to liveCD and fsck the system partition
[21:15] <Xano> This is the second time my audio settings (no audio output through onboard coax anymore) are screwed up after updating Ubuntu. What may have caused there problems?

[21:16] <tanath> anyone else getting 100% CPU with pidgin now?
[21:16] <fatninja> ActionParsnip: nothing , I have to ctrl+c to use the terminal again.
[21:16] <gdiazc> guntbert: update gave me some errors: "W: GPG error: http://packages.ubuntu.com natty InRelease: File /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/packages.ubuntu.com_oneiric_dists_natty_InRelease doesn't start with a clearsigned message"
[21:16] <ActionParsnip> tanath: not here, have you used the pidgin ppa or the on e from the repos?
[21:17] <tanath> ActionParsnip, nope.
[21:17] <fatninja> ActionParsnip: also opening Text Editor from Dash Home, doesn't work as well, let me try to do a restart.
[21:17] <Xano> ActionParsnip: Well I managed to fix things with pavucontrol (again), but I'd like to know why this happens every time I apply OS updates
[21:17] <ActionParsnip> gdiazc: try http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/fixpackage
[21:17] <ActionParsnip> Xano: possibly a bug?
[21:17] <tanath> ActionParsnip, just started today. suddenly started maxing cpu. so i restarted it. now it does it any time i open a chat window, and stays that way. tried toggling all the enabled plugins too.
[21:18] <guntbert> gdiazc: I haven't seen that error before, but ... that mixture natty/oneiric sounds a bit strange - try to disable most/all ppa for now and retry
[21:20] <ActionParsnip> tanath: try closing pidgn and rename ~/.purple then rerun. You will need to resetup your accounts but may help
[21:21] <tanath> ActionParsnip, i hate doing that. >_<
[21:21] <tanath> will test
[21:22] <Guest13784> hi, database connection error, help please
[21:22] <fatninja> ActionParsnip: now gedit works after restart..
[21:22] <chrisgeorge> when double clicking on a launcher icon, it shows the windows of that application that are open in 11.10. Where can I bind that action to a keyboard command?

[21:24] <tanath> ActionParsnip, oneiric

[21:25] <Guest13784> I have a problem with database connection. I receive a message database connection error. This message happen when I try to install Moodle 2.1. Ubuntu 11.10
[21:25] <ActionParsnip> tanath: the pidgin dev ppa has 1.9 which is older than oneiric
[21:25] <tanath> ActionParsnip, Version: 1:2.10.0-0ubuntu2
[21:26] <tanath> ActionParsnip, (is what i have)
[21:26] <gdiazc> how do i list the ppa's currently installed?
[21:27] <tanath> gdiazc, if you have gnome-do you can type 'software sources'
[21:27] <sveinse> If I use debootstrap to install a chroot, a small, but not too few packages are installed. Is this the bare minimum needed for apt-get/dpkg to work, or can I strip it even further down?
[21:28] <gdiazc> tanath: and a command-line equivalent? (i'm on ssh)
[21:28] <tanath> gdiazc, gdiazc i have no idea... i always use gnome-do.
[21:28] <armando> hy my friend
[21:29] <tanath> gdiazc, you can get there via synaptic actually

[21:29] <wolfmitchell> Desktop enviroment
[21:29] <tanath> in that case...
[21:30] <tanath> gdiazc, check /etc/apt/sources.list but there can be others listed elsewhere. don't recall the path
[21:31] <guntbert> gdiazc: the rest: ls -l /etc/sources.list.d
[21:31] <guntbert> */etc/apt/sources.list.d
[21:31] <gdiazc> thanks, both!
[21:32] <tanath> guntbert, i have ones not listed in sources.list and they're not there
[21:32] <tanath> guntbert, wait, my bad. there they are

[21:33] <paul_uk> i want to start in vga mode
[21:34] <escott> paul_uk, what do you mean vga mode
[21:35] <pozican> In 11.10 how do you get to the windows preferences? Is there a pkg I need to install to get the windows packages?
[21:35] <paul_uk> escott:  i have a fresh install of 11.10.  I chose to run with nvidia drivers, now I get a blank screen on startup.  I want to be able to update files and choose another nvidia option.
[21:35] <guntbert> paul_uk: press <shift> while booting
[21:35] <paul_uk> guntbert: cool will try thanks
[21:35] <thegladiator> i installed xfce and few other packages , i need to remove them
[21:35] <pozican> windows prefs*
[21:35] <thegladiator> is it possible
[21:36] <ActionParsnip> paul_uk: press CTRL+ALT+F1 and you can run:  less /var/log/Xorg.0.log     to see what is going on
[21:36] <thegladiator> i dont want any of the packages coming with XFCE
[21:36] <cindy_> what are the exe files dressed up as video rars tryin to do?
[21:36] <ActionParsnip> paul_uk: you may need to run:  sudo nvidia-xconfig     then reboot to make it work
[21:36] <cindy_> clamtk seems to like em
[21:37] <paul_uk> ActionParsnip: ok will try thanks
[21:37] <guntbert> cindy_: exe? they won't do anything in linux
[21:37] <cindy_> i wonder what they do to a windows machine
[21:37] <thegladiator> I gave sudo apt-get remove but I think need to do more
[21:38] <pozican> I'm missing the windows preferences from the system settings menu; is there anything I need to do to get it there?
[21:38] <guntbert> cindy_: thats certainly off topic here
[21:40] <dtigue> cindy_: its probably a virus
[21:41] <kyan> Hello! How can I mount a cd from the command line?
[21:41] <pozican> kyan: mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
[21:41] <escott> kyan, mount /dev/dvd /media/dvd (perhaps /dev/cdrw /dev/cdrom)
[21:41] <dtigue> pozican: you beat me to it......argh
[21:41] <kyan> escott, pozican: thanks! :-)
[21:42] <paul_uk> ActionParsnip: CTRL+ALT+F1 doesn't seem to do anything, any other key combo?
[21:42] <pozican> kyan: escott's is probably best, ubuntu seems to use /media instead of /mnt
[21:42] <dtigue> shouldn't the bot automagically answer common questions such as, how to mount a cdrom on the CLI
[21:42] <ActionParsnip> paul_uk: try ESC when the boot splash loads, you'll see the boot messages
[21:42] <ikonia> dtigue: the bot is not auto - you have to trigger it
[21:42] <ActionParsnip> dtigue: no, she must be triggered
[21:42] <ikonia> !cli | dtigue
[21:42] <escott> paul_uk, it that is not working it could be modeset related add nomodeset to the boot options
[21:42] <paul_uk> ActionParsnip: I press shift on booting and I select boot in recovery mode but there is no boot with vga option
[21:43] <paul_uk> escott: ok will try
[21:43] <dtigue> ubottu: you should answer questions automagically, but send them as a msg to the asker
[21:43] <ActionParsnip> paul_uk: use that menu and boot to root recovery mod, then run:  nvidia-xconfig; reboot
[21:43] <dtigue> lol
[21:43] <ikonia> dtigue: again - it's a bot, no point talking to it, you can get it to pm users
[21:43] <ikonia> !cli > dtigue
[21:43] <ikonia> dtigue: like that
[21:44] <dtigue> ikonia: yea i know all that but its much more fun to talk directly to the bot
[21:44] <ikonia> dtigue: it wastes peoples time and is pointless, please don't do it in the channel
[21:45] <Chamunks> I'm sorry, to ask this but can someone point me to a fix for FGLRX in gnome shell?
[21:45] <dtigue> ikonia: i will refrain but only because you asked so kindly
[21:45] <Chamunks> Documentation on it is too fresh for google to come up with decent results for me.
[21:45] <ActionParsnip> Chamunks: fix for what?
[21:45] <paul_uk> escott: do i add nomodeset to the last line?  because whatever I do, I keep on getting this blank screen!
[21:46] <whallz> why in /media my sdb has an id and not a label? how can i change that?
[21:46] <ActionParsnip> !label | whallz
[21:46] <dtigue> whallz: gparted will let you add labels i believe
[21:46] <whallz> ty
[21:47] <escott> paul_uk, linux /vmlinuz line at the end
[21:47] <Chamunks> ActionParsnip, The fglrx driver mangles gnome-shell..  And I need fglrx
[21:48] <Chamunks> ActionParsnip, I'll find a link with a good screenshot of the problem.
[21:48] <paul_uk> ActionParsnip: the recovery menu is frozen, it doesn't allow me to make any choices
[21:48] <dumbnewbie> hello guys
[21:49] <dumbnewbie> does anyone know external hard drives that will work with linux, i mean right away?
[21:50] <riffautae> dumbnewbie: all of them should. and if they dont its super easy to partition it
[21:50] <Chamunks> ActionParsnip, http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=11339681&postcount=3 Related screenshots to the issue.
[21:50] <dr_willis> every external hd ive ever had - has worked with linux.. right away....
[21:51] <dr_willis> bbl
[21:51] <Prothon>  I have a question for any experienced Sysadmins here. When making a LDAP+Kerberos+Samaba PDC which should first be set up? And is it required to have an internal DNS server?
[21:51] <paul_uk> escott: nomodeset doesn't do anything.  I keep on getting just a blankscreen on startup
[21:51] <Chamunks> Has no one else had this problem installing gnome-shell?
[21:51] <ActionParsnip> Chamunks: same in all DEs?
[21:52] <ActionParsnip> paul_uk: not a good sign, have you tested your RAM?
[21:52] <paul_uk> ActionParsnip: I was just running with XFCE using experimental drivers
[21:53] <Chamunks> ActionParsnip, no unity works fine but Gnome-shell supports screencasting native and I get unbarable graphics performance without fglrx
[21:53] <paul_uk> ActionParsnip: it's not my ram, it's the Nvidia drivers :\
[21:53] <Chamunks> ActionParsnip, also I have dual monitors and video cards and I cannot enable my second monitor using the default driver as Xorg.conf has never Ever worked well for me.
[21:53] <paul_uk> is it CTRL+x to save amendments in grub ?
[21:54] <ActionParsnip> paul_uk: in the recovery menu there isn't even an X server running so the nvidia drivers aren't loaded.
[21:55] <paul_uk> hmm, I had this very same problem with 11.04 which forced me to use XFCE and I don't like it.  So that;s why im trying 11.10.  Ok, I'm gonna do an install, then upgrade drivers and see where I'm at.
[21:55] <ActionParsnip> paul_uk: if you are editting in nano then you can save and exit with CTRL+X, Y, ENTER
[21:55] <paul_uk> *re-install
[21:55] <paul_uk> ActionParsnip: problem is, I get zip, nada, nothing and system is unresponsive
[21:56] <ActionParsnip> paul_uk: which nvidia gpu do you have?
[21:56] <ActionParsnip> paul_uk: and is it one of those hybrid monstrosities?
[21:56] <paul_uk> ActionParsnip: GTS 450
[21:56] <Chamunks> ActionParsnip, any ideas, I hate to poke as you're obviously in the middle of a few conversations.
[21:56] <ActionParsnip> paul_uk: you may need the xorg edgers updates PPA for that
[21:57] <ActionParsnip> paul_uk: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[21:57] <ActionParsnip> Chamunks: not sure. I don't use ATi stuff
[21:58] <wad> So, I'm on my command prompt.
[21:58] <paul_uk> ActionParsnip: ok will do
[21:59] <wad> Way deep down in some subdirectly. And there's a file here that I want to open. I just want to double-click on it. But I'm in my command prompt....
[21:59] <wad> Is there an easier way than to launch the home folder app, click forty times to get to the directory, then double-click the blasted icon?
[22:00] <Chamunks> Anyone here had any luck with setting up the ATI driver with Gnome shell yet or have they still not released the fix?
[22:00] <kyan> wad: make a launcher that runs nautilus /home/kyan
[22:00] <Chamunks> ActionParsnip, thanks anyways.  I wonder if there are any other distros of linux that will solve this issue.
[22:00] <ActionParsnip> wad: you can run:  nautilus    and see your home folder in the file browser
[22:00] <wad> But I don't want my home folder.
[22:00] <wad> Like I said, I'm forty directories deep.
[22:00] <ActionParsnip> Chamunks: there are plenty to go at, have a try of a few
[22:01] <escott> !info alacarte | wad
[22:01] <dannnnn> i went into sshd_config and set enablerootlogin to no
[22:01] <aaronh5> when writing a bash script, how can i make a place that i can go back to in my script? say i asked a question, they answered, and i want it to ask it again.
[22:01] <dannnnn> then restarted sshd, but i can still login as root... why?
[22:01] <ActionParsnip> wad: you can make a symlink to the directory in your home fodler
[22:01] <ActionParsnip> *folder
[22:01] <wad> But I'm jumping all over the place on my command line.
[22:01] <wad> *sigh* I guess this just doesn't work.
[22:01] <escott> dannnnn, do you mean you can sudo after logging in as your user
[22:02] <wad> Maybe I'll write something, an app called "doubleclick", where I specify the filename. And it simulates having double-clicked it from X.
[22:02] <ActionParsnip> wad: if you make a symlink, you can open the link and jump straight to the location
[22:02] <Chamunks> ActionParsnip, :) well I just need something to not break today to bring up my spirits a bit.
[22:02] <ActionParsnip> wad: why would you have to write anything..?
[22:02] <wad> Okay, you're in this directory:
[22:02] <ezeql> anyone using evoluent mouse ?
[22:02] <screenLog> Has anyone ever set up a ubuntu server?
[22:03] <ActionParsnip> wad: what is the full directory path and I'll give a command to make a link
[22:03] <_spt_> screenLog : yes
[22:03] <wad> /home/ActionParsnip/Docuemnts/dsfg45/df3434/6534/234/fds/5.34/f43/gfgh4/323/fdgff/t4 and you want to view the file blah.pdf. What do you do? Open your home folder, and browse down into that directory, click at a time, among thousands of others?
[22:03] <screenLog> _spt_: how do I set up the DNS settings
[22:03] <wad> ln -s makes symbolic links, I don't see how that helps. I don't want to persist a link. Just open my document.
[22:04] <_spt_> I let the router do that
[22:04] <ActionParsnip> wad: run:  ln -s ~/Docuemnts/dsfg45/df3434/6534/234/fds/5.34/f43/gfgh4/323/fdgff/t4 ~/t4
[22:04] <wad> I don't want to alter the filesystem.
[22:04] <wad> And when you're done, you have to rm ~//Docuemnts/dsfg45/df3434/6534/234/fds/5.34/f43/gfgh4/323/fdgff/t4
[22:04] <ActionParsnip> wad: now when you doble click the 't4' folder in $HOME you will go straight to the folder
[22:04] <screenLog> _spt_: ahh, I can't im doing it for work and can't figure out how to get it on our network
[22:04] <wad> Either that, or spam your filesystem with symbolic links
[22:04] <causative> between version 9 and 10 did Ubuntu put the X_[] buttons to close a window on the left side instead of the right side?
[22:04] <ActionParsnip> wad: no need to remove it if you don't want. You can keep it for later
[22:04] <wad> I guess you just delete the symbolic link from your home folder.
[22:04] <causative> it seems different
[22:05] <ActionParsnip> causative: it's changable
[22:05] <wad> But I don't want to keep a big pile of symbolic links, and I don't want to have to delete them. I don't need a symbolic link, I just want to launch the application that consumes this file type, just like the doubleclick action.
[22:05] <doc__> join #dokuwiki
[22:06] <chrisgeorge> What is the plugin/command called for single clicking a launcher shortcut and it shows all the open windows associated with it?
[22:06] <wad> ActionParsnip, but thanks for your suggestion anyway. ;) I'm just annoyed. Been doing this all day long.
[22:06] <escott> wad, then start that application  for pdfs its called evince also known as the document viewer
[22:06] <wad> escott, but when I double-click something, I don't know what the application is called that launches. Why do I have to know it when I'm on the command prompt?
[22:07] <escott> wad, for the command line you don't there is a mime type helper command line util
[22:07] <wad> How does X know what it is? Can't I call a command to simulate the double-click action?
[22:07] <wad> Ah!
[22:07] <escott> wad, mimeopen i think
[22:07] <wad> ah!!
[22:08] <wad> That's it!
[22:08] <wad> mimeopen does EXACTLY what I need! Thanks so much!
[22:09] <Squarepy> hi I want to boot a usb with gparted and I think grub doesn't support that, any suggestions?
[22:10] <escott> Squarepy, some bioses may not like it, but if you cant get it to work try unetbootin or uinnetboot whatever its called
[22:10] <AzoteLogiko_> -es
[22:10] <escott> !es | AzoteLogiko_
[22:12] <Squarepy> escott: I imaged the .iso with  unetbootin, do have to do more with it?
[22:13] <escott> Squarepy, if you are working with an ubuntu iso you might just want to use the usb-creator-gtk gui
[22:13] <willo> guys im getting this error= http://imagebin.org/182333
[22:13] <AzoteLogiko_> thankx escott :)
[22:13] <willo> i cant upgrade or anything
[22:13] <yoshi9099> I can't access my server after boot until I've run /etc/init.d/networking restart
[22:14] <causative> ActionParsnip, where can you change it?
[22:14] <causative> I don't see anything in System->Preferences->Appearance
[22:14] <willo> im using 10.4
[22:17] <Squarepy> escott: not sure what you mean, it's an iso of gparted, but I can check whether i have the app
[22:17] <escott> Squarepy, well gparted is an application. do you mean an iso of a rescue distro with gparted?
[22:17] <exthd> Hi Guys, Can you help me finding a big external HD that will SURELY work with linux?
[22:18] <yoshi9099> Anyone have any experience with networking in ubuntu?
[22:18] <escott> exthd, any disk will work
[22:18] <luis_> exthd: all hdd will work
[22:19] <rixter__> yoshi9099, yes, but you will need to be a little bit more specific.
[22:19] <luis_> yoshi9099: What is your question?
[22:19] <Squarepy> escott: yes its the live iso
[22:19] <yoshi9099> When I reboot my server, I have to run /etc/init.d/networking restart to make it net-accessible
[22:19] <exthd> escott, luis: i had problems with the one i bought , the pc told me that i will have problems with any ubuntu distro
[22:19] <yoshi9099> The server gets an IP fine, but I can't ping out or in until I restart networking.
[22:20] <rixter__> yoshi9099, dhcp?
[22:20] <yoshi9099> rixter__: yes
[22:20] <luis_> exthd: What problems did you have?
[22:21] <ActionParsnip> !controls | causative
[22:21] <causative> ok thanks ActionParsnip
[22:21] <thinkpadthink> hello all!
[22:21] <rixter__> !aa-logprof
[22:22] <raw> trying to dual ubuntu on top of windows 7
[22:22] <raw> i ran the installer from the live cd
[22:22] <raw> now it boots into grub rescue :\
[22:22] <rixter__> yoshi9099, have you seen if aa-logprof is complaining about something?
[22:22] <exthd> luis, it took a hell lot of time till it worked, and when it did, i unmounted it to see, and it wouldnt work again... i gave it back, at the other pc store the guy told me i will encounter problems until i will find one taht works with ubuntu. i wand one that i plug ...
[22:23] <luis_> raw use Wubi to dual boot on a windows machine
[22:23] <raw> i have a raid0
[22:23] <exthd> luis, plug in and works right away...
[22:23] <raw> luis, i tried that first and it didnt work either
[22:23] <raw> i think raid0 is my problem
[22:23] <thinkpadthink> does MySQL Workbench  work for anyone on 11.10
[22:24] <yoshi9099> rixter__: how do I check that? I last booted a week ago.
[22:24] <rixter__> sudo aa-logprof
[22:24] <rixter__> you may have to get apparmor-utils
[22:25] <yoshi9099> rixter__: I've got it. only ntpd is in 'complain mode'. interesting, i've never used this apparmour thing, just browsed logs
[22:25] <exthd> bobweaver, i think thats the howto of the old 8.04 aproved encryption
[22:26] <bobweaver> exthd,    What Oo
[22:26] <rixter__> yoshi9099, just a guess, but I'd bet if you reboot and type 'route' you'd be missing your gateway under default
[22:26] <rixter__> yoshi9099, when you aren't working does 'ip a' show an ip address?
[22:27] <yoshi9099> rixter__: ifconfig shows an ip address when it isnt' working
[22:27] <rixter__> yoshi9099, can you ping locally?
[22:27] <yoshi9099> rixter__: no
[22:28] <rixter__> hrm.
[22:28] <rixter__> yoshi9099, are you pinging locally by ip or name?
[22:28] <exthd> luis, escott any clues?
[22:28] <yoshi9099> rixter__: by name
[22:28] <kyan> I'm trying to install Ubuntu alongside Mac OS as described at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MactelSupportTeam/AppleIntelInstallation#Dual-Boot%3a%20Mac%20OSX%20and%20Ubuntu .
[22:29] <kyan> I can't change the GPT to MBR though.
[22:29] <kyan> What should I do about that?
[22:29] <yoshi9099> rixter__: I don't know why I typed that, I meant by ip. I can't ping the gateway or any other host
[22:29] <kyan> I'm getting the error: WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sdb'! The util fdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted.
[22:29] <rixter__> yoshi9099, I had an issue like this once, but I was using static ip's and i had set it both inside of gnome desktop and /etc/network/interfaces
[22:29] <kyan> Oops, /dev/sda. Sorry.
[22:30] <rixter__> yoshi9099, I think it was a conflict between the WM and the networking service.
[22:31] <quaff> i tried changing my gtk theme and it crashed my x server. now i can't login at all, i'm running ubuntu 11.10, and using unity, anyone have any ideas how i can fix this?
[22:31] <yoshi9099> rixter__: I don't have a display hooked up to the box at present. What command can I run on CLI with an exported X display?
[22:31] <RD> is there a way to get to a terminal before 11.04 loads ?

[22:32] <nachox> anyone familiar with upstart's respawn?
[22:33] <escott> exthd, you never really stated what your problem before was
[22:33] <escott> kyan, you should use gparted
[22:33] <nachox> i have a service that keeps dying every now and then
[22:33] <nachox> and i'de love for upstart to notice it dying and respawn it
[22:33] <kyan> escott: Hmm. It's mondorescue's interface that's giving the error.
[22:34] <kyan> escott: I mean mondorestore. sorry :-P
[22:34] <kyan> escott: I'm using a customised Ubuntu version backed up to a dvd using mondo.
[22:35] <kyan> escott: So I can't configure the program it uses. I'm thinking that I ought to convert the GPT partition to MBR format to let fdisk use it but I'm not sure how. Gdisk didn't seem to work.
[22:35] <escott> kyan, you could try and manually restore your partition with dd
[22:36] <escott> kyan, you cannot convert a mac to mbr
[22:36] <kyan> escott: well, Mac OS and rEFIt are still both working fine.
[22:37] <martin___> Where can I find the wireless driver for Broadcom BCM4313 802.11b/g/n to ubuntu 11.10? My wireless is dead like a stone.
[22:37] <kyan> escott: I just can't get mondorestore to restore to the partition I created using Disk Utility.
[22:37] <RD> thank you
[22:37] <escott> kyan, it may set up some kind of hybrid, but you cant blow away the gpt and expect osx to work
[22:37] <kyan> escott: Ok. How can I set up the hybrid?
[22:38] <escott> kyan, with gdisk
[22:38] <kyan> escott: Thanks!

[22:38] <kirk_> hi guys, i need one command to run exactly one minute. how to do it?
[22:38] <escott> kirk_, cron
[22:38] <heoyea> sleep?
[22:39] <somsip> kirk_: you want to do the same thing over and over for 60 seconds?
[22:39] <dr_willis> how exact..?
[22:39] <exthd> luis, escott: Hi Guys, Can you help me finding a big external HD that will SURELY work with linux? i had problems with the one i bought , the pc store guy told me that i will have problems with any ubuntu distro
[22:39] <kirk_> i want to run command and that command should run only for 60 seconds
[22:40] <exthd> luis, escott: luis, it took a hell lot of time till it worked, and when it did, i unmounted it to see, and it wouldnt work again... i gave it back, at the other pc store the guy told me i will encounter problems until i will find one taht works with ubuntu. i want one that i plug ...
[22:40] <escott> kyan, i think the problem is really with mondorescue. what are you trying to restore
[22:40] <kirk_> i dont know if cron can do this
[22:40] <exthd> luis, escott, plug in and works right away
[22:40] <heoyea> exthd: just format it to ext4
[22:40] <paul_uk> is there anyway of installing the experiemental or open source nvidia drivers ?
[22:41] <dr_willis> exthd:  i have literaly dozens if external usb hds and they all worked.. what did nit work for it?
[22:41] <paul_uk> as soon as I enable nvidia drivers, my system no longer works :/
[22:41] <kyan> escott: I'm trying to restore a customised Ubuntu installation made on a standard Ubuntu single-boot PC.
[22:41] <Laurenceb_> hi
[22:41] <escott> !clone | kyan
[22:41] <escott> !xy | kyan
[22:41] <Laurenceb_> is there a way to get packages from 11.x on 10.x?
[22:41] <Laurenceb_> i need the latest nemiver
[22:42] <dr_willis> !backports | Laurenceb_
[22:42] <ubuntuman> :-S hello to everyone !
[22:42] <kyan> escott: I did it in a VM to make sure the DVD worked fine. It did. I don't just want to clone it because there's a lot that isn't stored in traditional packages. (I went into some depth with changing config etc.)
[22:42] <exthd> dr_willis: it took a hell lot of time, with a terrabite-one, and when i unmounted it woluldnt recognize it again, plugguin in pluggin out, had no result
[22:42] <dr_willis> Laurenceb_:  or find a ppa
[22:42] <kyan> escott: You have a very good point about the XY thing :-D
[22:42] <kyan> escott: I'll go try making the hybrid MBR using gdisk.
[22:43] <dr_willis> exthd:  my wd 3 tbs all work fine
[22:43] <kirk_> i need to run tcpdump for 60 and then print the count of tcp and udp packets. any idea?
[22:43] <heoyea> exthd: format to ext4 ...
[22:43] <kirk_> *for 60 seconds
[22:43] <Wb_Lack> Hei, is there someone who wanna make a pen-test on my site?
[22:43] <thoeger> Hello channel - I have some trouble: latest regular update killed my system (it suddenly wouldn't boot into X and I could not figure out why). I booted a live USB stick, opened Ubiquity and ran "upgrade". It went fine, apparently, but now, my touchpad is not detected and no wireless connections are found at all! What can I do, short of a wipe-all-and-reinstall?
[22:44] <dr_willis> kirk_: use 2 commands. one being "sleep 60 && killall tcpdump"
[22:44] <exthd> heoyea: can i do this from a live cd with gparted?, sry dumb question. and do you think it will work on plug-in afterwards?
[22:44] <dr_willis> kirk_:  or similer
[22:44] <heoyea> exthd: yes u can
[22:45] <ubuntuman> Anybody Known if Ubuntu training will be available in western Canada any time soon?
[22:45] <kirk_> dr_willis: oh good idea, ty
[22:45] <heoyea> exthd: yes it will work
[22:45] <escott> kirk_, man tcpdump | egrep -C3 -- "(-G|-W)"
[22:45] <dr_willis> exthd:  siunds to me like the hd may be flakey
[22:45] <somsip> kirk_: check -G on man tcpdump
[22:45] <pimpmaneaton> hey gents having trouble setting a profile in thunderbird with 11.10, get no access to file
[22:45] <yoshi9099> Is there a log that I can check that would indicate why dhclient is grabbing an IP but I can't ping?
[22:45] <rixter__> yoshi9099, "rixter__: I don't have a display hooked up to the box at present. What command can I run on CLI with an exported X display?" I honestly don't remember.
[22:46] <dr_willis> rixter__: like vncserver?
[22:46] <yoshi9099> rixter__: I just opened up xfce4_panel and opened networking from in there, but there doesn't look like there is much in there.
[22:46] <exthd> heoyea. plug in and work right away?
[22:46] <aaronh5> how can i make a bash script return to a certain point in my script?
[22:46] <escott> aaronh5, goto
[22:46] <exthd> dr_willis: what is flakey?
[22:46] <dr_willis> exthd:  your hd.
[22:46] <rixter__> dr_willis, no there is a way to make X display over the network (I used to do it) but I don't remember.
[22:46] <paulw_> hello..in 11.10 how are people connecting to Google calendar?
[22:47] <dr_willis> rixter__: xdmcp or ssh x forwarding
[22:47] <yoshi9099> dr_willis: I'm using ssh x forwarding
[22:47] <rixter__> dr_willis, yeah xdmcp was what I used, I am not needing it, but yoshi was asking about it.
[22:47] <heoyea> exthd: yes it should, if not u can use pySDM app
[22:47] <kirk_> somsip: ty, i missed this option.
[22:48] <exthd> dr_willis: for i am a foreigner i didnt know what flakey means
[22:48] <somsip> kirk_: and escott rightly says to combine this with -W
[22:48] <rixter__> yoshi9099, I honestly don't know why the network must be restarted before it starts up correctly.
[22:48] <ubuntuman> :-/I guess nobody knows ?
[22:48] <heoyea> exthd: windows key aka superkey
[22:48] <dr_willis> all 3 ways can work. depends on your needs.
[22:48] <exthd> heoyea what is pySDM app
[22:48] <thoeger> Okay I'll bump it. Ubuntu doesn't detect my trackpad. When running from live USB, no problem. When runing in Windows, no problem. What can be wrong?
[22:48] <yoshi9099> Me neither. Is there a way to find out?
[22:48] <dr_willis> exthd:  your hd is broken. try a different one
[22:48] <heoyea> exthd: it lets u mount HD, u can set it up to mount auto it u like
[22:49] <exthd> dr_willis, it was new
[22:49] <rixter__> yoshi9099, have you checked the system logs to see if its erroring on startup?
[22:49] <dr_willis> exthd:  so? new can be broken
[22:50] <dr_willis> bbl
[22:50] <yoshi9099> syslog shows nothing useful. dhclient requests an IP and one is given.
[22:50] <exthd> heoya i have to remeber that name, i hope i can install that on a live cd session
[22:50] <Guest49334> is this the ubuntu help channel?
[22:50] <EvilResistance> Guest49334:  yes
[22:50] <SilfenX> how can determine if a specific program was installed using a repository or  downloaded and installed manually?
[22:50] <EvilResistance> Guest49334:  how can we help you
[22:50] <paulw_> what application is best to connect to Google Calendar?
[22:51] <rixter__> Guest49334, you should check with #gentoo for help for your ubuntu distro ;)
[22:51] <Uns0b1ll> anyone with dynamips opened ine topology right now ? i need help with dynamips
[22:51] <kyan> escott: I tried it with a GPT partition with hybrid MBR (http://www.rodsbooks.com/gdisk/hybrid.html), but mondorestore is still treating it as a GPT partition.
[22:51] <heoyea> exthd: yea u can install it if u like from livecd
[22:51] <EvilResistance> rixter__:  please dont spread disinformation in this channel, even jokingly.
[22:51] <felon> can someone help me please, i was running ubuntu off my external hd cause my sata was down, the board was toast. well i replaced the board, now i got my hd and dvdrom back on sata, and i was hooking up the external to get info off it, but it dosent show under my computer as a drive or letter. under disk management its there? how i get it to show under my computer to access it to get info off
[22:51] <felon> it.
[22:51] <pozican> SilfenX: try dpkg --get-selections
[22:51] <windparadise> hello, pls I am trying to turn php_safe mode off, in /etc/php5/apache2 it shows safe_mode is off, but in http://www.berylhost.com/estates/info.php  I am seeing safe_mode being on, where else can I check ?
[22:51] <Guest49334> can I add accounts other than google to the online accounts?
[22:51] <aaronh5> escott, how do i use goto?
[22:52] <pozican> windparadise: did you /etc/init.d/httpd graceful?
[22:52] <rixter__> EvilResistance, the ;) was there, letting him know I was kidding, but I will refrain from doing that again ;)
[22:52] <escott> kyan, because mondorestore intends to restore the partition table, but doesnt know how. mondo is trying to do TOO much.
[22:52] <thoeger> How can I make Ubuntu see my trackpad?
[22:52] <pozican> windparadise: php -i will show you your config from php.ini NOT the config that running... IE restart / graceful after changes
[22:52] <glebihan> windparadise, did you restart apache after modifying the configuration ?
[22:52] <ubuntuman> can someone please answer my question regarding training in Canada or point me in the right direction?
[22:52] <amya> how can I stop all the messages about upgrading to 11.10 perminantly system-wide? This machine is used by at least two kids and if they should click on that it could fundamentally break the system
[22:52] <escott> kyan, if !clone doesnt work for you (and I would strongly encourage cloning and then diffing your /etc) you can see if mondo has a switch to only restore the partiton but not the partition table
[22:52] <pozican> I'm missing the windows preferences from the system settings menu; is there anything I need to do to get it there?
[22:52] <kyan> escott: Hmm. It is suggesting overwriting my current partition layout with a new one (which I do NOT want to do!).
[22:53] <rixter__> thoeger, on the liveusb, have you done lsmod and seen what modules are loading, maybe there is a switch they are using... dmesg | grep trackpad or dmesg | grep ps2 may give you something useful.
[22:53] <paul_uk> does anyone know of any options other than nomodeset?  At this point I want anything to try and troubleshoot my linux install
[22:53] <exthd> heoya, thanks for your help, i think ill buy a western digital one and try that.
[22:53] <amya> I had already turned off updates entirely which I didnt want to do, I just dont want to upgrade from  11.04 because I use gnome on here and gnome is horribly broken in 11.10
[22:53] <SilfenX> pozican: I get a long list of applications - of all only 2 says deinstall while all others say install in the right column
[22:53] <amya> yet the messages about upgrading to 11.10 still come up
[22:53] <kyan> escott: Ah hmm, it's discussed here: http://www.mondorescue.org/docs/mondorescue-howto.html#AEN951
[22:53] <rixter__> paul_uk, what is the issue you are having?
[22:53] <windparadise> glebihan: in fact, safe mode is turned off lonng ago, I didn't do any setting
[22:53] <exthd> heoya, is that in pySDM in the lucisd repos?
[22:54] <paul_uk> rixter__: I have enabled nvidia drivers and now when my system boots, I just get a blank screen and the monitor shuts off
[22:54] <ubuntuman> O.K Goodbye See all another time.
[22:54] <heoyea> exthd: yea it should be, is been there from 8.04
[22:54] <exthd> heoyea, is that in pySDM in the lucisd repos? do you think a western digital will be a solution?
[22:54] <paulw_> how are people connecting to Google Calendar in 11.10?
[22:54] <rixter__> paul_uk, can you ctrl-alt-f1 or is the kernel even booting?
[22:54] <paul_uk> rixter__: nope can't do ctrl-alt-f1
[22:54] <SkiOne> anyone have an ETA on when PHP 5.3.3 will be available via apt?
[22:54] <heoyea> exthd: any HD will work, u just gotta format it
[22:55] <heoyea> exthd: i got about 6 HDs all works
[22:55] <olof_> I really need some help quick. I am on my first time ubuntu. I had on hard drive with Windows 7 installed. I booted up my downloaded ubuntu11 CD. But how do I boot in to windows 7? I saw no alternatives on boot menu. Now I am missing a really important file that was on my desktop on my Win7 installation!!
[22:55] <kyan> escott: Unfortunately the mountlist editor that it mentions uses fdisk, so I'm not sure how to bypass the mountlist editor and simply restore it to a chosen existing partition
[22:55] <Pici> SkiOne: in what release?
[22:55] <amya> paul_uk: I noticed that as well if ya gimme a sec I'll tell ya how I fixed it
[22:55] <SkiOne> 10.04
[22:55] <exthd> heoyea, thanks for your help, i am just thinking, beacause the pc store is a bit nazi about taking back hds
[22:56] <paul_uk> amya: awesome i am all ears :)
[22:56] <heoyea> exthd: most of those PC are idiots really cant trust them all
[22:56] <Pici> SkiOne: Is there something that 5.3.3 brings that you need in lucid?
[22:56] <rixter__> paul_uk, check and see if 'nomodeset noapic acpi=off' helps any
[22:56] <heoyea> exthd: PC tech*
[22:56] <paul_uk> amya: the other way I fixed this, with 11.04 was moving to XFCE, but that is so crappy.  I don't want to go there again
[22:56] <SkiOne> yeah there is a bug fix I need
[22:56] <amya> paul_uk: changed /etc/default/grub adding vga=normal to this line as so: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="splash quiet vga=normal"
[22:57] <bluesceada> hi
[22:57] <Pici> SkiOne: Was it a CVE or just some other bug?
[22:57] <bluesceada> how can i get vdpau running with fglrx?
[22:57] <glebihan> windparadise, in that case, you may want to have a look at the other ini files parsed (also mentioned on the info page)
[22:57] <bluesceada> the cpu is too slow to decode 1080p it seems
[22:57] <exthd> heoyea, i am an idiot myself beacause i cant install an ect. hd. on my live cd sesseion
[22:57] <exthd> heoya, external hd
[22:57] <amya> paul_uk: pretty sure thats just a framebuffer issue and should have nothing to do with X or the DE used.. its about the kernel framebuffer
[22:57] <windparadise> ok
[22:57] <thoeger> olof_, did you choose "install side by side" when you installed Ubuntu?
[22:57] <SkiOne> it was a filter_var problem, it does not properly dedect valid URLs Pici
[22:57] <felon> i was running ubuntu off my external hd cause my sata was down, the board was toast. well i replaced the board, now i got my hd and dvdrom back on sata, and i was hooking up the external to get info off it, but it dosent show under my computer as a drive or letter. under disk management its there. but i cant assign it anything i need the info off the drive, how i get it to show under my computer
[22:57] <felon> to access it to get info off it?
[22:57] <bluesceada> didnt find anything directly useful
[22:58] <heoyea> exthd: well is find because ur not a tech so ur learning, they are getting paid and they donno what they are doing
[22:58] <amya> paul_uk: the vga=normal kernel perameter solved it here with an nvidia 5200fx card
[22:58] <paul_uk> amya, ok will try
[22:58] <SkiOne> Pici: I've tried a few methods and ended up really borking the server, so I was wonder if 5.3.3 will be added
[22:58] <amya> paul_uk: you need to run update-grub after saving that file
[22:58] <Pici> SkiOne: I only ask becuase CVE (security fixes) may have been patched into the version of 5.3.2 that is in lucid.
[22:59] <amya> paul_uk: that assures your kernels always boot with normal vga mode rather than an advanced framebuffer mode
[22:59] <SkiOne> Its not a security bug
[22:59] <olof_> thoeger, yes I did. And now I cant find it :S
[22:59] <exthd> heoyea, it sounded like this guy was knowledged, because he told me about that usb adapter IN the ext. HDs, that would nver work with linux
[22:59] <Pici> SkiOne: Otherwise, It doesn't look like 5.3.3 will be available in 10.04, as it has been available in 10.10 and there was no backport to lucid for that.
[22:59] <olof_> thoeger, all I need to do is find the Windows 7 desktop folder so I can backup that specific file and I can start all over again
[23:00] <indieross> i have a text file that i need to delete a bunch of text starting with " - SF somenumbers.mp3" how can i do this?
[23:00] <thoeger> olof, you can try and open a terminal and run 'df -h' (are you experienced with a terminal?)
[23:00] <SilfenX> is it possible remove  broken user installed program? I got one that refuses to uninstall or reinstall
[23:00] <Pici> indieross: you need to delete the entire line? or just that text at the start of a line or what?
[23:00] <olof_> thoeger, not really, what does that command o?
[23:01] <olof_> do*
[23:01] <heoyea> exthd: he probally just knows Windows, not really any linux, therefor he lies, if u by any regular HDD it should work
[23:01] <indieross> not the entire line just the text starting and ending with  " - SF somenumbers.mp3"
[23:01] <julian_> who to check squid status?
[23:01] <exthd> heoyea, does "regular" include external usb-ones?
[23:02] <escott> indieross, sed -e "s/  - SF [0-9]*.mp3//" filename
[23:02] <heoyea> exthd: will i have a external docking for my HDD
[23:02] <indieross> escott thanks ill give it a try
[23:02] <Pici> indieross: what escott said, but that will just print out the changes, use -i to make it change the file.
[23:02] <heoyea> exthd: it pops in and out like Super Nintendo style
[23:03] <rickb06> Hello, goofy I know, I have a directory tree with a bunch of CSS files randomly throughout. I need to remember how to recurrsively apply to a certain file extension in any folder of any given child folder within the root
[23:03] <rickb06> does that make sense?
[23:03] <indieross> Pici thanks
[23:03] <kyan> escott: how can I bypass the mondorestore mountlist editor and simply restore to an existing partition?
[23:03] <exthd> heoyea dont understand "will i have a external docking for my HDD" do you maen will it  ahve a usb plug??
[23:04] <amya> exthd: are you suggesting that linux will not work with a linux filesystem because its USB? because that is absurd and 100% wrong
[23:04] <escott> kyan, don't know, check the mondo manual. but again mondo is not the right too for what you want to do
[23:04] <heoyea> exthd: one of these http://gadgetgrid.gadgetgridllc.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/thermal_take_black_ice.gif
[23:04] <kyan> escott: Hmm, thanks
[23:04] <exthd> heoyea, i was never thinking about sth. like that
[23:04] <paul_uk> jesus wept, nomodeset noapic vga=normal gives me a blank screen monitor shuts off, ok how can i just get a command line only lol
[23:04] <indieross> Pici the -i is not working
[23:05] <exthd> amya, sry i think you got that wrong
[23:05] <wayne_> Is there any software for ubuntu that can back up owned dvds?
[23:06] <amya> exthd: no I certainly do not.. filesystems do not matter.. the only downside to any specific filesystem on USB is that if its a flash device a journaled fileststem will wear the media out faster
[23:06] <heoyea> wayne_: K9copy
[23:06] <class24> ciaoo
[23:06] <class24> !list
[23:06] <indieross> wayne_ handbrake
[23:06] <wayne_> I don't know how to install handbrake, I wanna copy dvd to dvd if possible
[23:07] <wayne_> no encoding is wanted
[23:07] <class24> !bot
[23:07] <thoeger> olof_, it tells you which partitions are visible to your system, what they are called and how large they are.
[23:07] <wayne_> well "encoding" to avi or anything like that
[23:07] <wayne_> Isn't wanted
[23:07] <thoeger> doesn't alter anything, just displays the information
[23:07] <indieross> then use k9copy
[23:07] <exthd> amya, i was reproducing information from the pc store there. can you explain this in simple words again?
[23:08] <wayne_> How does k9copy work, I'm installing it
[23:08] <heoyea> wayne_: handbrake only backup to mp4 i believe
[23:08] <wayne_> Nahh. Converting and encoding to a container is too much work
[23:09] <amya> exthd: I don't really know what you're talking about but it sounded to me like you were saying an EXT filesystem would not work via usb.. and I assure you via USB, via a 30ft parallel cable hooked through a coffee machine to an ice maker.. it doesnt matter.. any filesystem the kernel supports it supports period
[23:09] <paul_uk> is there a way of bypassing the recovery menu and going direcltly into a root shell prompt ?
[23:09] <indieross> escott the sed command is not working
[23:09] <SilfenX> is it possible remove a broken user installed program? I got one that refuses to either uninstall or reinstall
[23:09] <amya> paul_uk: there are many ways one is init=/bin/sh which is the most direct way
[23:10] <escott> indieross, make sure the spaces are correct, and there arent tabs and such
[23:10] <amya> paul_uk: that will leave your filesystem mounted read-only so you would need to remount rw if you need to make any changes
[23:10] <paul_uk> amya and I can do this from pressing shift and getting to change the boot options?
[23:10] <exthd> amya, but i should format it as ext3 or ext4?
[23:10] <amya> paul_uk: that is correct
[23:10] <wayne_> Will linux ubuntu ever get Video Game support?
[23:10] <twilight0> hi to all, how can I compile a source deb package
[23:10] <exthd> amya, to work properly?
[23:10] <heoyea> SilfenX: u can open synaptic, under custom filters theres a broken section
[23:10] <kirk_> when let tcpdump to write into a file, it is in a raw forman. is it possible to write it in the same format which is printed on standard output?
[23:10] <wayne_> I'd like to play games on here
[23:11] <twilight0> I mean I got the package from the Ubuntu repos but its still source
[23:11] <_spt_> paul_uk : I had an issue with an ATI card and Ubuntu 11.10 boot issue witha blank screen I fixed it with the info here http://askubuntu.com/questions/38780/how-to-set-nomodeset-for-installation
[23:11] <twilight0> I like to compile this package
[23:11] <indieross> escott there are no tabs and i put the command in exactly as shown one more time i need to delete the test " - SF somenumbers .mp3"
[23:11] <amya> exthd: if it is a flash media, ext2 is safest.. but a journalizing filesystem like ext3 or ext4 could in theory wear the media out more quickly as it does extra writes that would not be required for a non journalizing filesystem and flash media is written to by breaking down a dielectric barrier and has a limited lifetime
[23:11] <twilight0> I dont have any source repos enabled
[23:12] <amya> exthd: but technically speaking any would work.. just some may wear out a flash device faster than others... if its a regular hard disk it makes absolutely no difference at all
[23:12] <paul_uk> _spt_: thanks for that, checking
[23:12] <escott> indieross, i mean spaces inside the regex. "1234 .mp3" does not match "1234.mp3"
[23:12] <kirk_> when i let tcpdump to write into a file, it is in a raw format. is it possible to write it in the same format which is printed on standard output?
[23:12] <exthd> amya, its going to be  a 100gb extrnal hd for media library kinda storage, what filesystem do you suggest, i will apply encryption as well
[23:13] <exthd> amya, sorry 1000 GB, 1 tb
[23:13] <La5eR> Does anyone own an M3A770DE Asrock motherboard?
[23:13] <demeter> Hi, I have a problem with the bluetooth with ubuntu 11.04. It does export to send and receive files from other bluetooth device such as Mobile
[23:13] <escott> exthd, for media used ext4
[23:13] <escott> exthd, use not used
[23:13] <demeter> help me please :(
[23:13] <agoole> I installed ubuntu from within windows...can I give ubuntu more HD space ?
[23:14] <SilfenX> when ubuntu server 1et logged to somewhere and if so how can I access it?0.04 stats up, the text it echoes to the screen during boot , does that g
[23:14] <La5eR> if anyone has an M3A770DE motherboard pls /msg me :D
[23:14] <SilfenX> et logged to somewhere
[23:14] <amya> exthd: if its a hard disk then you probably want ext3... unless you think you will hit a limitation of the ext3 filesystem then use ext4.. you can see the limitations of ext3 on wikipedia.. they are ridiculously high.. but if it were say a whole TB worth of small picture files it may reach the maximum files limit
[23:14] <yoshi9099> this just in. when I plug in my other network interface, the system all the sudden becomes network addressable on both interfaces
[23:14] <yoshi9099> I suppose I could cheat and have a cronjob that just restarts the networking init script
[23:15] <paul_uk> _spt_: thanks for the link.  unfortunately nomodeset really doesn't do anything for me.  I still get a blank screen after bootup
[23:15] <amya> exthd: the only reason I say use ext3 if you wont hit a limit is because there are still systems out there that may not yet have ext4 support in their kernel and since its a usb drive you may want to use it on other systems and be sure it'll work
[23:15] <wayne_> This k9copy doens't work
[23:15] <wayne_> doesn
[23:16] <exthd> amya, so these are the limits with ext3, thats it?
[23:16] <wayne_> K9copy just crashes
[23:16] <amya> exthd: this is why using a windows filesystem is often recommended just for wider compatibility.. but personally I rather use ext3 than NTFS, and FAT is out of the question on a drive that large.. you'd have to split it into small partitions to use FAT
[23:16] <escott> exthd, ext4 has extents
[23:16] <paul_uk> this is ridiculous, im gonna have to run 11.10 with video hardware acceleration turned off lol, no dual screens for me :/
[23:16] <BangBusRUs> Hi there I just finished installing Ubuntu 11.10 on my Thinkpad T61, I need some help with the bat on the top...
[23:16] <ActionParsnip> wayne_: its an abandoned projct too
[23:17] <exthd> escott, what extents?
[23:17] <heoyea> wayne_: probally need to install libdvdcss2 1st b4 u can rip/play any protect stuff
[23:17] <escott> exthd, good for larger files, slightly more efficient
[23:17] <La5eR> if anyone has an M3A770DE motherboard pls /msg me :D
[23:17] <amya> yeah I'm not extremely familiar with ext4 yet myself I follow the staying with the well tested stuff as long as possible philosophy.. and I personally wouldnt use ext4 without reaching a limitation in ext3
[23:17] <BangBusRUs> All the links I found were for 10.4
[23:18] <exthd> escott, but working with ubuntu 9.19 and later?
[23:18] <exthd> escott 9.10..

[23:19] <escott> !dvd | wayne_
[23:19] <heoyea> wayne_: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video-dvd.html

[23:20] <Scunizi> Sometimes my android phone mount via USB and sometimes it doesn't.. Right now it won't.. How do I get it to mount and look at the sdcard?
[23:20] <escott> indieross, do what? if you want to !paste an example line from the file and what your command was we can look at it
[23:20] <heoyea> Anom01y_: crontab -e
[23:20] <indieross> escott http://www.megaupload.com/?d=60RIE383
[23:20] <amya> Scunizi: I had that problem a lot with my phone too.. it seems to be the phone in my case.. usually have to reboot my phone when it fails to connect
[23:20] <seyfarth_> Looks like the link on ubuntu.com is busted. I get a drupal error
[23:21] <seyfarth_> to download
[23:21] <escott> indieross, can you please use !paste
[23:21] <ActionParsnip> Scunizi: there is an app to automount sd card, may help
[23:21] <escott> !paste
[23:21] <amya> Scunizi: somtimes going into settings and turning usb debugging on then off will reset the usb part of the phone without a full reboot
[23:21] <wayne_> Didn't help looks like I have to boot windows
[23:21] <Scunizi> amya, I'll give that a go..
[23:21] <Scunizi> ActionParsnip, which app?
[23:21] <heoyea> Anom01y_: or u can use the gui called gnome-schedule
[23:21] <escott> Anom01y, have you tried rc.local
[23:21] <Guest71732> Hi all. I've just got Ubuntu installed and trying to get something simple working. I want to use the BFD library in C but #include "bfd.h" is not being found. Am I supposed to download some sort of library first?
[23:21] <qin> seyfarth_: Apparently offline
[23:21] <ActionParsnip> Scunizi: its called auto mount  here, also be sure to safetly remove and eject the device when you are done with the storage
[23:22] <indieross> !paste
[23:22] <exthd> escott, can gparted format my 1tb western digital ext hd over usb on a 10.4 live session, can you tell this?^^
[23:22] <escott> exthd, yes
[23:22] <indieross> escott http://paste.ubuntu.com/727708/
[23:22] <Scunizi> ActionParsnip, is that an android app or in the repos?
[23:22] <indieross> escott a  bunch of the lines end in that text ive been tryning to delete
[23:22] <Anom01y_> heoyea, ok well I used crontab -e, select 'ed' to edit the file, and removed the entry that was in that file (backintime was in there)
[23:23] <exthd> escott, thx (newbnewb), in the case the system will recoginze it, i hope it will this time
[23:23] <Warum> hey why i can't access some files on Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS \n \l ? anybody knows? zsh: no such file or directory: ./z
[23:23] <Anom01y_> then hit ctrl O to write out (save)
[23:23] <escott> indieross, (a) im assuming you later want to rename so you may want to install the rename application (actually a perl script) which takes the same kind of regexs
[23:23] <Anom01y_> heoyea, should that fix my problem ?
[23:23] <ActionParsnip> Scunizi: Auto Mout Your SD  by JRTStudio
[23:23] <escott> indieross, (b) do you want just the SF ### - ## .mp3 or also the SFPT ### - ## .mp3
[23:23] <amya> android tends to do fancy autodetection of what kind of connection you may want to make rather than older phones that you have to manually set.. and sometimes it just gets confused and will not even show "usb connected" in the status bar and comes up in linux as failed to enumerate device on port.. usually a reboot is the surest way to fix it, reboot the phone that is
[23:23] <heoyea> Anom01y_: yea just get rid of the line u dont want to use, or u can comment it out with the # sign in front
[23:24] <BarkingFish> Guys, hello :)
[23:24] <ben_q> could anyone help me out with dumping a portion of my disk? I know the start/end cylinder/head/sector number and also the start/end block number. how can I do that? (dd manual doesn't enlighten me...)
[23:24] <Scunizi> ActionParsnip, so an android app.. I'll look
[23:24] <Anom01y_> ok thanks heoyea  :)
[23:24] <heoyea> Anom01y_: no probs
[23:24] <indieross> escott i want the " - SF somenumber .mp3" gone
[23:24] <indieross> most lines end in them
[23:24] <BarkingFish> I have a user in #kubuntu wanting to know why netbeans wasn't released with 11.10 - apparently the last set was with natty - can someone tell me why it was dropped or doesn't exist anymore please?
[23:24] <ActionParsnip> amya: never had an issue here on android 2.1
[23:25] <BarkingFish> I asked our -devel channel, and it was suggested that you'd be more likely to know :)
[23:25] <amya> ActionParsnip: I have a crappy samsung moment that I mostly use with usb debugging for tethering and it does it all the time..
[23:25] <indieross> escott " - SF*mp3"
[23:26] <amya> anywho my question went ignored the last 20 minutes and I got other things to do.. so.. I'm leaving ;)
[23:27] <escott> indieross, so you could do basically that "s/\s*-\s*SF.*mp3//"
[23:28] <awc> I'm having some difficulty with my GPU folding client. I've run into this before, I just for get the necessary commands to fix the problem: http://pastebin.com/aLhNfV6Q
[23:28] <i3luefire> why does putty keep giving me the error "server refused our key"?
[23:28] <ngc0202> Hi
[23:29] <indieross> escott thats exactly what i needed thanks soooo much
[23:29] <ngc0202> I was installing 11.10 today
[23:29] <ultrixx> when I play back xvid movies i get blueish colors. what's the reason for that?
[23:29] <Scunizi> ActionParsnip, I still had to tell it to connect as usb storage but it opened this time.  I think the error was because I tried to copy 3 video files off at the same time and it auto disconnected for some reason.
[23:29] <ngc0202> And I force shutdown my laptop during the installation, and now it won't boot D: What do I do?
[23:30] <Papabrvo> Is anyone here familiar with Rythmbox and Musicbrainz?
[23:30] <ngc0202> Please help D:
[23:30] <exthd> is here someone who i can call the "LVM-Guru" or has approximate skills, i need someone with such skills here
[23:30] <heoyea> ngc0202: might be able to continue, if not reinstall
[23:31] <ngc0202> will I lose all my data?
[23:31] <heoyea> Papabrvo: Musicbrainz is good
[23:31] <huayra> I had trouble with my microphone
[23:31] <bobweaver> exthd,  Uwe Hermann ??\
[23:31] <huayra> it does work with gnome recorder, but it is not recognized in skype or ekiga
[23:32] <Papabrvo> heoyea: IRythmbox doesnt seem to be able to get info from Musicbrainz
[23:32] <huayra> been having this issue since 10.10 and even now that I am on 11.10
[23:32] <heoyea> Papabrvo: Musicbrainz is for ID3tags, not sure what u mean with rythmbox
[23:32] <huayra> really odd. IF someone has some advice Iam truly thankful. I can go in the terminal and do some ALSA chasing tricks if needed be
[23:33] <Papabrvo> heoyea: It should pick up CD info and input track info and etc
[23:33] <exthd> bobweaver, thx again
[23:33] <melvin> heeelp
[23:34] <awc> I have an API mismatch between my NVIDIA kernel module and the driver. How can I fix this?  http://pastebin.com/aLhNfV6Q
[23:34] <heoyea> Papabrvo: u have to do that 1st in Musicbrainz then it saves those tags, then those tags will show up in Rthymbox
[23:34] <Papabrvo> heoyea: I'm sorry what do I do at Musicbrainz?
[23:35] <rickb06> anyone help me out with permissions?
[23:35] <KeNg> مرحبا
[23:35] <rickb06> so i chmod files in a dir 777.. then i sudo su - to the user and they are all unwritable.
[23:35] <rickb06> any ideas?
[23:36] <heoyea> Papabrvo: Musicbrainz only search for tags then u can apply those tags to ur mp3, then rythmbox will read these tags
[23:36] <qin> rickb06: Do not "sudo su"
[23:37] <KM0201> rickb06: learn to use sudo?
[23:37] <Papabrvo> heoyea: When I out a CD in the drive I get a blank bow in Rythmbox and a note that says not found at Musicbrainz, help by inputting CD info
[23:38] <bobweaver> rickb06, I would read up on permissions
[23:38] <olof_> I cant seem to install ATI driver. I tried both drivers (post release updates too)
[23:38] <olof_> FGLRX driver
[23:38] <olof_> from "Additional Drivers"
[23:38] <heoyea> Papabrvo: is basically trying to find out the tags for the CD using MusicBrainz Database online, if it cant find any then u get no tags
[23:38] <_spt_> Guest71732 : bfd.h you need to install libcwd-dev
[23:39] <Papabrvo> heoyea: OK. I'll look further into it to see if I can get it to work. Thanks for the start.
[23:40] <Warum> Hi anybody can help me.. Why I can't run an executable file on my server?:S
[23:41] <mindoms> is it possible to set routes automaticaly when using the GUI to connect to a VPN server?
[23:41] <ActionParsnip> Warum: is it marked as executable and does your user have execute access to it
[23:41] <Warum> it has access
[23:41] <Warum> it just says not found
[23:41] <Warum> and I can see the file there, is just that I can't execute it
[23:41] <ActionParsnip> Warum: using the right case?
[23:41] <qin> Warum: ./file (from directory where file is)
[23:42] <Warum> for example my psy client
[23:42] <Warum> zsh: no such file or directory: ./psybnc
[23:42] <ActionParsnip> Warum: if the binary is in the pwd then use the ./ as qin says
[23:42] <Warum> the file is there and chmoded ..
[23:42] <Warum> -rwx--x--x  1 4686 4650 210248 Jan  6  2006 psybnc*
[23:43] <heoyea> maybe missing header like #!/bin/bash?
[23:43] <Warum> oh it's not that kind of file :D
[23:43] <qin> Warum: chown it
[23:43] <ActionParsnip> Warum: if you use ls -la ./psybnc    what is output ?
[23:43] <Warum> i have been reading on google about this issue
[23:43] <Warum> "try to run an executable file... : no such file... ??"
[23:44] <WanderingEnder> Every few minutes, battery meter in 11.10 reports I have 3 minutes of battery life left. I have 92% battery remaining. Is this Ubuntu or my HP Mini 1110?
[23:44] <Warum> And they are talking about 32 bit and 64 bit systems
[23:44] <Warum> mines is 64's
[23:44] <Warum> ActionParsnip -rwx--x--x 1 4686 4650 210248 Jan  6  2006 ./psybnc*
[23:44] <ActionParsnip> Warum: also what is the output of:  file ./psybnc
[23:44] <Warum> zsh: no such file or directory: ./psybnc
[23:45] <Warum> this
[23:45] <heoyea> Warum: maybe u need to install zsh
[23:45] <qin> Warum: You missing +r for others
[23:45] <Warum> i`m using Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS \n \l
[23:45] <heoyea> Warum: for it to work
[23:45] <Warum> It has zsh
[23:45] <thoeger> Okay, this install has messed up my hardware setup massively on my laptop. Isn't there a way to re'detect hardware etc, that is, basically reconfigure X?
[23:45] <ActionParsnip> Warum: try:  sudo chown $USER:$USER ./psybnc
[23:45] <Warum> zsh is already the newest version.
[23:46] <paul_uk> hey all, on my 4th 11.10 installation.  Is there anyway of installing the FREE nvidia drivers?
[23:46] <bobweaver> thoeger, services lightdm restart ?
[23:46] <i3luefire> nevermind fuckers
[23:46] <WanderingEnder> !language | i3luefire
[23:46] <thoeger> bobweaver, that restarts X, as far as I know it doesn't reconfigure?
[23:46] <heoyea> Warum: is it a program or a script?
[23:46] <Warum> It's a psyBNC file
[23:47] <Warum> have you ever heard of a psyBNC client?
[23:47] <bobweaver> thoeger,  dpkg-reconfigure lightdm
[23:47] <thoeger> bobweaver, I wasn't aware such a reconfiguration would touch much else than the actual display manager?
[23:48] <ActionParsnip> !find psy
[23:48] <Warum> ActionParsnip when I do that sudo chown the error doesnt apper anymore but the file is still not loaded :D
[23:48] <awc> I have an API mismatch between my NVIDIA kernel module and the driver. How can I fix this?  http://pastebin.com/aLhNfV6Q
[23:48] <ActionParsnip> !find psybnc
[23:48] <Warum> psybnc.at
[23:48] <Warum> there are tons of sources..
[23:49] <thoeger> hmm, it says environment variable DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_NAME missing...
[23:49] <BangBusRUs> Hey I need some help here. http://www.howtogeek.com/55985/how-to-make-ubuntu-linux-look-like-windows-7/
[23:49] <ActionParsnip> awc: uninstall both the 280 and 285 driver, then install just the 285 driver
[23:49] <awc> ActionParsnip thanks
[23:50] <setre> is it possible to install ubuntu from debian without the use of a Compact Disc or usb boot, if so please let me know how
[23:50] <bobweaver> !ftp | setre
[23:50] <Warum> psyBNC2.3.2-7-cBtITLdDMSNpE started (PID 9293)
[23:50] <ActionParsnip> HA http://www.askvg.com/transform-windows-7-into-ubuntu-11-04-natty-narwhal-using-ubuntu-skin-pack/
[23:50] <Warum> oh oh i fixed ^^
[23:51] <Warum> it needed to be compiled again on my 64 bytes
[23:51] <Warum> it was made for 32 I think...
[23:51] <Warum> :-)
[23:51] <Warum> thanks !!
[23:51] <setre> bobweaver: ftp what?
[23:52] <randomusr> I have a desktop with a ralink 2500 chip. It's a linksys. Installed 10.04 prior to install the card. How to I enable the driver as I understand it's included in the mainline kernel?
[23:53] <ActionParsnip> setre: you can pxe boot if you have a pxe server around
[23:53] <fishhead> http://linuxdistroteamspeakcommunity.blogspot.com/
[23:53] <monstaRtruck> any1 have gtx560
[23:53] <monstaRtruck> or am i the only nuub here
[23:54] <ActionParsnip> BangBusRUs: what is your issue, giving a link with no details is meaningless
[23:55] <ActionParsnip> monstaRtruck: use the https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates PPA to get the later nvidia driver
[23:55] <monstaRtruck> i got the drivers from nvidia
[23:55] <monstaRtruck> and now my theme is broke
[23:55] <bobweaver> ActionParsnip,  could you if you had debian installed   add repo then add ubuntu-desktop ?
[23:57] <mindoms> sorry, i got disconnected. and solved my problem. local routes go to the wifi tab, not the vpn tab.
[23:58] <mohawkjohn> For some reason every once in a while Unity decides that it needs to be behind all my other applications, whether I press  alt+tab or try to access the taskbar. Really obnoxious. Anyone found a workaround?
[23:59] <randomusr> if I install 10.10  x86_64, will my Linksys card work out of the box?
 my theme broke
