| cyphase | the teminal is awesome. i split a multi-gb file earlier, and am now combining it and sending the result to two different drives | 00:01 |
| cyphase | with cat and tee | 00:01 |
| bekks | would be much more nice if just dumping the output to stdout and piping it to different targets. | 00:02 |
| BlouBlou | and, second question; is it recommendable having my country's server as default (for updates, ...), or should I use the main one? | 00:02 |
| bekks | BlouBlou: the next server (geopgraphically) is ok. | 00:02 |
| Gentoo64 | BlouBlou: use a local one | 00:02 |

| kg | How do I enlarge the xchat window? | 00:03 |
| JViz | splnet: it looks like bitbake itself doesn't have the gcc-3 dependency, just this particular build i'm looking at | 00:03 |
| Gentoo64 | kg: same as usual... | 00:03 |
| splnet | JViz: C or c++? if its C, its probably easy to fix the code | 00:04 |

| Glitchy | anyone out here know much about setting up a vm on ubuntu 11? | 00:05 |
| Gentoo64 | Glitchy: virtualbox? | 00:05 |
| pooltable | i have it installed it where does the file go ? | 00:06 |
| Glitchy | yeah virtual machine/virtual box. never messed with them before, was advised to learn, but the tuts online are just confusing me... | 00:06 |
| Gentoo64 | Glitchy: its very easy. just ask as you go | 00:06 |
| Glitchy | What will I need to get started? | 00:07 |
| Gentoo64 | virtualbox | 00:07 |
| Gentoo64 | and some hdd space | 00:07 |
| Glitchy | I was going to use vmserver, but passed on that | 00:07 |
| Gentoo64 | i would use virtualbox | 00:07 |
| Glitchy | alright bb in a secf | 00:07 |
| akm22562 | hi all. i just upgraded to 11.10. when my screensaver kicks in i can wake it up but screen stays blank. can anybody offer any tips? | 00:08 |
| Glitchy | Gentoo64 is virtualbox ose what I should use? | 00:09 |
| Gentoo64 | Glitchy: whats the other one? (if there is one) | 00:09 |
| pooltable | save a url to pdf format | 00:09 |
| Glitchy | akm22562 try messing with the power save options and screen saver options | 00:09 |
| Glitchy | no other option via ubuntu software manager | 00:09 |
| Gentoo64 | ok use ose then | 00:09 |
| brightspark | pooltable: on my machine it is in ~/PDF | 00:10 |
| Gentoo64 | im not sure if youll manually need to install things like the guest additions, or extension pack | 00:10 |
| Glitchy | Will I need a copy of XP on disc? | 00:10 |
| Gentoo64 | Glitchy: or an iso | 00:10 |
| Gentoo64 | isos are better (faster) | 00:10 |
| zykotick9 | Glitchy, what version of ubuntu are you using? VBox-OSE doesn't have USB support. The new free Virtualbox does. | 00:10 |
| Glitchy | k, that's something I may struggle with, because I need to slipstream the iso in order to add the laptop drivers | 00:10 |
| Gentoo64 | zykotick9: you can download the extensions from the website cant you | 00:11 |
| pooltable | brightspark ok what do i need to do ? | 00:11 |
| zykotick9 | Gentoo64, i don't know? Certainly VBox will download them for you. | 00:11 |
| splnet | Glitchy: you can also download vmplayer for free | 00:11 |
| Gentoo64 | zykotick9: i mean for the ose version | 00:12 |
| JViz | splnet: i don't know, i'm going to try to figure out | 00:12 |
| zykotick9 | Gentoo64, not sure man | 00:12 |
| zykotick9 | splnet, why recommend proprietary software? | 00:12 |
| Glitchy | create new hard disk or use existing one? | 00:13 |
| Gentoo64 | Glitchy: create new | 00:13 |
| Glitchy | dynamic or fixed | 00:13 |
| Gentoo64 | Glitchy: up to you | 00:13 |
| Glitchy | storage lol | 00:13 |
| Gentoo64 | i make mine fixed | 00:13 |
| Glitchy | right on | 00:13 |
| Gentoo64 | its faster than dynamically expanding | 00:13 |
| splnet | zykotick9: because I found vmplayer to work well. Plus its free | 00:14 |
| brightspark | pooltable: don't know, I installed it a while back. I would open my home folder and look to see a folder called pdf, if it isnt there I can't help | 00:14 |
| Andrewx | Hello, I got the GUI for upgrading my ubuntu install to 11.10 and I accidently cancelled it, how do i resume the upgrade of 11.04 to 11.10? | 00:14 |
| brightspark | JViz: http://debian.speedblue.org/packages/gcc-3.4-x86-64_3.4.6-1_i386.deb | 00:14 |
| zykotick9 | Glitchy, the downsize is that fixed allocates all the space to begin with. | 00:14 |
| Glitchy | I've done this once before, but it always stalls out at creating the fixed storage device | 00:14 |
| Gentoo64 | hmm should be ok... | 00:14 |
| Gentoo64 | check in the main settings windows under preferences if theres anything under extensions also | 00:15 |

| Gentoo64 | to see if it comes with them preinstalled | 00:15 |
| Gentoo64 | Glitchy: takes me about 1-2 mins for 15gb | 00:15 |
| Glitchy | k it's still sitting at 0% | 00:15 |
| Andrewx | [20:14] <Andrewx> Hello, I got the GUI for upgrading my ubuntu install to 11.10 and I accidently cancelled it, how do i resume the upgrade of 11.04 to 11.10? | 00:15 |
| Gentoo64 | it depends on the drive speed | 00:15 |
| zykotick9 | splnet, it may be "free" as in cost, but it's certainly not free as in freedom. VBox as well as KVM/libvirt have some technical advantages over VMWare as well. | 00:16 |
| cousteau | "Print to PDF file" isn't working on gedit (ubuntu 10.10, installed from ubuntu minimal). No error message; the pdf file just doesn't get generated. | 00:16 |
| pooltable | brightspark ok got it thanks been at this for hours to get to work for free thanks | 00:16 |
| cousteau | it works on other programs such as geany, though | 00:16 |
| Glitchy | what is KVM? | 00:16 |
| brightspark | pooltable: glad to hear it | 00:16 |

| brightspark | When I try to use totem to play youtube videos, I get an error message "Gstreamer encountered a general supporting library error." I have never been able to use this feature, so I don't suspect a recent update as the cause. Can anyone help me troubleshoot this? | 00:17 |
| Andrewx | I cancelled in the middle of an upgrade via GUI. | 00:17 |
| zykotick9 | Glitchy, KVM is more for servers then desktop VMs (i wouldn't recommend it for your use) | 00:17 |
| Andrewx | I need to resue the GUI upgrade. | 00:17 |
| Glitchy | right on | 00:17 |
| Andrewx | How can I do so> | 00:17 |
| Andrewx | ? | 00:17 |
| Glitchy | ...Gentoo64...should it still be sitting at 0%? | 00:17 |
| cousteau | it works on evince too... but not on gedit. Why could this be happening? | 00:18 |
| Glitchy | zykotick9 can you help me any? I think VirtualBox OSE stalls out on me during storage medium creation...can you help me? | 00:20 |
| zykotick9 | Glitchy, you could try asking in the #vbox channel perhaps? good luck. | 00:21 |
| pooltable | need help on picking out grafix card under $300 it 2 betterer then one? | 00:22 |

| seven | hi, I'm having connection issues on 10.04. | 00:24 |
| bekks | seven: define "connection issues" please | 00:24 |
| bekks | !explain seven | 00:24 |
| cyphase | hmm, nautilus doesn't warn you when moving a file bigger than 4GB to a fat32 partition | 00:26 |
| bekks | cyphase: Why should it? | 00:26 |
| seven | I checked "enable networking" and it says "wired network - disconnected." there is no option to connect to any network connections. | 00:26 |
| seven | I'm kind of new to this, sorry. | 00:26 |
| cyphase | bekks, because fat32 can only have files up to 4GB | 00:27 |
| bekks | cyphase: I know, yes. | 00:28 |
| An-iSociaL | fat32 goes to 32gb | 00:28 |
| cyphase | bekks, i dont get it | 00:28 |
| bekks | cyphase: I still dont see the point why your file manage should warn you about whatever. | 00:28 |
| cousteau | An-iSociaL, never saw that... using some sort of PAE or something? | 00:28 |
| lambo_man_r2 | can someone please help me? | 00:29 |
| cyphase | bekks, seems fairly obvious to me | 00:29 |
| philwong | Hello | 00:29 |
| An-iSociaL | which are we talking about | 00:29 |
| bekks | cyphase: I dont think so. | 00:29 |
| An-iSociaL | the file size cant exceed 3gb | 00:29 |
| An-iSociaL | the filesystem cant exceed 32gb | 00:29 |
| philwong | Mint is a prettier version of Ubuntu | 00:29 |

| philwong | do they have a seperate support channel? | 00:30 |
| bekks | philwong: yes. | 00:30 |

| An-iSociaL | yea im going to shutup | 00:30 |
| cyphase | bekks, so why not just corrupt the fs? it shouldnt baby people, right? | 00:30 |
| philwong | whats it callde | 00:30 |
| cyphase | lol | 00:30 |
| bekks | cyphase: because the fs wont corrupt. | 00:30 |

| chaospsychex | lol | 00:32 |
| lambo_man_r2 | whats the diff tween 11.04 amd 11.10? | 00:32 |
| An-iSociaL | uhm | 00:32 |
| cousteau | about 0.06 | 00:32 |
| An-iSociaL | software updates? | 00:32 |
| zykotick9 | cyphase, nautilus is probably not aware you're using a crappy filesystem (why should it) | 00:32 |
| bekks | cyphase: Yes. Because those kinds of limitations are not part of the responsibility of your user-space user-driven file manager, but these are limitations of a filesystem. | 00:32 |
| cousteau | oh, and 11.10 uses unity under gnome3 | 00:32 |
| lambo_man_r2 | actually | 00:32 |
| An-iSociaL | you should find a changelog | 00:33 |
| okee | I am experiencing difficulty in booting from a DVDRW that has Ubuntu. I did an md5 checksum and it comes back ok. I get error indicating that ata4, ata5, ata6 SATA link down. What does that mean? Is there a way to boot from the internet and download ubuntu that way? I have the disk in the laptop now. | 00:33 |
| An-iSociaL | its not going to be a simple answer | 00:33 |
| cyphase | zykotick9, first, i must defend my honor. this is not my flashdrive :) | 00:33 |
| brightspark | When I try to use totem to play youtube videos, I get an error message "Gstreamer encountered a general supporting library error." I have never been able to use this feature, so I don't suspect a recent update as the cause. Can anyone help me troubleshoot this? | 00:33 |
| chaos_ | anyone send me in the direction of disabling the avahi-daemon. i went through everything i know dealing with init and rc etc files | 00:33 |
| zykotick9 | cyphase, honour restored ;) | 00:33 |
| lambo_man_r2 | i vame here to get answers. not be redirected | 00:33 |
| chaospsychex | how do i set a new pass using nickserv? | 00:33 |
| okee | This channel is too busy. We need an Ubuntu2 channel. | 00:33 |
| An-iSociaL | okee: what operating systems do you have access to? | 00:34 |
| bekks | chaospsychex: thats an issue for #freenode | 00:34 |
| cousteau | there's ubuntu+1 if that's what you're looking for | 00:34 |
| cyphase | zykotick9, second of all, why shouldn't it? it's a simple check. it checks if there's space on the drive. it could just not bother and give you an error when the drive is full | 00:34 |
| chaospsychex | can someone tell me why my transfer speeds from my ubuntu ftp server are so damn slow? less than 300kb/sec | 00:34 |
| cousteau | also there are other ubuntu locale channels | 00:34 |
| An-iSociaL | okee: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ | 00:34 |
| cousteau | chaospsychex, slow internet connection? | 00:34 |
| chaos_ | or rewrite over "old" data would be cooler!! | 00:34 |
| An-iSociaL | if you can get onto a windows machine you can use that to make a bootable usb | 00:34 |
| okee | The computer that I am communicating from now has Win XP 32-bit. The laptop that I am trying to install Ubuntu on has Win 7 64-bit. The HP Elitebook 8360w was checked by a technician and the DVDRW player/writer works. | 00:35 |
| cyphase | zykotick9, and, if there's no space, it gives you the option to continue. so it doesn't have to take away your choice, if that's the issue | 00:35 |
| An-iSociaL | so use that utility to make a bootable usb | 00:35 |
| An-iSociaL | cds are so 2000 | 00:35 |
| zykotick9 | cyphase, you want to put checks in nautilus if it's using MS file systems, and if so to warn the user they're using a crappy FS? Personally i user Nautilus for file management, not user management. | 00:35 |
| chaospsychex | cousteau: no, i am transferring over the local network. my speed should be megabytes per second, not kb/sec | 00:35 |
| cousteau | oh, local network... ok, it's slow then | 00:35 |
| chaospsychex | ? | 00:36 |
| chaos_ | anyone send me in the direction of disabling the avahi-daemon. i went through everything i know dealing with init and rc etc files | 00:36 |
| chaospsychex | theres no reason for it to be this slow | 00:36 |
| chaospsychex | should be above 1MB/sec at al times | 00:36 |
| cyphase | zykotick9, so it should honor ext# file-size limitations? | 00:37 |
| bekks | cyphase: The check wont be wether there is enough space on the drive. the check would be like this "which fs are we copying to? are there limitations? will we get to those limitations? what to do now?" | 00:37 |
| chromaticwt | how can I do normal alt-tab behavior with the new unity desktop? | 00:37 |
| An-iSociaL | http://en.kioskea.net/faq/739-disabling-the-avahi-daemon | 00:37 |
| An-iSociaL | whoever asked | 00:37 |
| An-iSociaL | i lost tracking | 00:37 |
| cousteau | what does that daemon do? maybe I can kill it? | 00:37 |
| lambo_man_r2 | did uou guys upgrade to 11.10? | 00:38 |
| chaospsychex | it's going to take a hour to download a 700mb file, i can download it off the internet faster than i can off my local network?? | 00:38 |
| * cousteau is on 10.10 | 00:38 | |
| An-iSociaL | The Avahi daemon is present as default and allows you to discover network resources and get connected to them | 00:38 |
| cyphase | bekks, if fs == 'fat32' and filesize > 4*GB: print FAT32_WARNING | 00:38 |
| cyphase | bekks, abstractly :) | 00:38 |
| chaospsychex | this is baffling | 00:38 |
| bekks | cyphase: It is all OSS. Implement it. | 00:38 |
| cousteau | An-iSociaL, ok, so no use on a desktop? or ethernet also counts? | 00:38 |
| cyphase | bekks, that is not the issue. you said it should not be implemented | 00:39 |
| chaospsychex | how is it that i can download off the net faster than i can from a server on my local network ? | 00:39 |
| mateolargo | i'm (trying to) manage a PPA for our company and have hit a bit of a snag | 00:39 |
| An-iSociaL | discovering network resources means finding other devices on the network | 00:39 |
| okee | Question: Will I loose everything on the USB Stick if i install an ISO? Can it share a memory stick? Ubuntu is only 32mb. It is tiny. I have a 32gb memory stick. | 00:39 |
| philwong | Whats a better all around OS in terms of fuctionality and suport Ubuntu or Linux Mint? | 00:39 |
| chaos_ | <chaospsychex>: whats ur network looking like? | 00:39 |
| bekks | cyphase: Yes. Because there are about - to my knowledge - about 30+ filesystems out there which devs would have to care about. about 20 of those are heavily changing or are implemented using FUSE. | 00:40 |
| An-iSociaL | you will lose everything because it will need to be formatted to be bootable okee | 00:40 |
| chaos_ | ubuntu = support | 00:40 |
| okee | I am wondering whether or not the DVDs are bad, or whether or not there is an issue with the laptop. The repair technician things there is an issue with the DVDRWs..... | 00:40 |

| dorr | ubuntu server 11.10, was mucking about with apache2, didnt really know what i was doing, things didnt turn out quite right, so i deleted /etc/apache2. i thought i could remove apache and install again and it would create /etc/apache2 again , but it did not. how can i get it back | 00:40 |
| philwong | chaos_: and os? | 00:40 |
| bekks | If you dare to hit fs limits, then dont owe it to your file manager. | 00:40 |
| chaospsychex | chaos_: looking like? i have a router/gateway. ftp server is on the router and so are the 3 clients | 00:40 |
| An-iSociaL | okee: likely you have an older drive which doesnt support the bootloader for some reason | 00:40 |
| chaospsychex | chaos_: only one client is connected to the ftp server | 00:40 |
| An-iSociaL | ive seen that happen with many different things over the years | 00:40 |
| cyphase | bekks, fat32 is not heavily changing or using fuse (not sure why fuse matters) | 00:41 |
| === BaNz is now known as Alex`aw | ||
| chaospsychex | chaos_: i should be getting way better transfer speeds than this | 00:41 |
| chaos_ | <chaospsychex>: have you listened to all the traffic to see if your dos'n yourself with a rougue procees or such | 00:41 |
| chaospsychex | what? | 00:41 |
| bekks | cyphase: We are not talking about a FAT32 only check. If implementing checks like these, you would have to implement them on all filesystems. | 00:41 |
| okee | Hmm. It gives you the option to format. What happens if I don't select the option to format? I think I should transfer the contents of the DVD to the main drive, and the add the contents after ubuntu is burned on there. | 00:41 |
| An-iSociaL | chaospsychex: how fast are you transferring? | 00:41 |
| chaospsychex | less than 300kb/sec | 00:42 |
| An-iSociaL | it will likely fail to boot if you do not format okee | 00:42 |
| cyphase | bekks, what's wrong with that? | 00:42 |
| chaospsychex | An-iSocial: what could be limited the transfer speed? | 00:42 |
| An-iSociaL | what mediums are you transferring from and to chaospsychex ? | 00:43 |
| osvaldo | hola | 00:43 |
| bekks | cyphase: The intention. Implementing a check for a single filesystem is just work without a real profit. | 00:43 |
| An-iSociaL | hola osvaldo | 00:43 |
| beaconfield | Hello! | 00:43 |
| chaos_ | <chaospsychex>: distance matters too. i had a setup (wireless) where i was getting 30kbs and moved ten feet closer and got close to 1mb | 00:43 |
| osvaldo | que tal de donde sos | 00:43 |
| pangolin | !es | 00:43 |

| chaospsychex | An-iSocial: from a mounted ntfs partition on the ftp server, to a ext4 partition on the client | 00:43 |
| bekks | cyphase: But still. It is all OSS. You are free to implement it. | 00:43 |
| chaospsychex | i am 15ft away from the server | 00:43 |
| Reidy | Sorry to ask it again but, I got a little problem with my ubuntu 11.10, running on a lenovo ideapad U460 (and installed via netinstall). When I start the distro, it show me that : http://pastebin.com/aB1KQafs in a black background. I updated the system with the latest update and so, and I don't know how to correct it, I can access to the console mode, but nothing else. | 00:44 |
| chaos_ | <chaospsychex>: are you wireless? | 00:44 |
| chaospsychex | i get download speeds off the internet several MB/sec | 00:44 |
| dorr | ubuntu server 11.10, was mucking about with apache2, didnt really know what i was doing, things didnt turn out quite right, so i deleted /etc/apache2. i thought i could remove apache and install again and it would create /etc/apache2 again , but it did not. how can i get it back? | 00:44 |
| chaospsychex | the server is wired to the router | 00:44 |
| okee | ok. I will clear off the USB stick. I suspect there is a compatibility issue with Fuji DVDRWs. I did telephone them, and they requested that I send the disk back to them. Ironically the disk seem to work with my Lighton drive, but they won't work with several other laptops. The repair store told me they tested them on three different laptops besides mine. | 00:44 |
| cyphase | bekks, that's beside the point. what do you mean work without profit? | 00:44 |
| chaospsychex | the client is wirelessly, yes | 00:44 |
| chaospsychex | doesn't explain this slow transfer speed though | 00:44 |
| chaos_ | is the client or server the one your on and complainging about? | 00:44 |
| cyphase | bekks, is your whole argument based on time spent by the developers to implement it? | 00:45 |
| An-iSociaL | sounds pretty common actually okee | 00:45 |
| chaospsychex | i'm complaining about the slooooooooow transfer speed and the fact that i can download files off the internet faster than this | 00:45 |
| chaos_ | well wireless technology can have issues such as same freq as a neighbor much people using the same freq | 00:45 |
| chaospsychex | no thats not it | 00:45 |
| chaospsychex | i can download this same file over the internet in 10mins | 00:46 |
| chaos_ | try changing the routers wireless channel to say 1,6 or 11 | 00:46 |
| bekks | cyphase: There are a LOT of exception to a general behaviour of a file manager. Implementing checks without a "big picture" on how to handle those exceptions, requirements, exception with a workaround, will result in a pretty unmaintainable software solution. | 00:46 |
| cyphase | bekks, how is it different from checking for available space? do you support that check? | 00:46 |
| An-iSociaL | chaospsychex: it could be ftp slowing it down, if you can try another method, perhaps cifs, it may be faster, otherwise it could have to do with the network | 00:47 |
| An-iSociaL | gigabit networks i get 40MB/s | 00:47 |
| An-iSociaL | 100mbit i get like 10MB/s | 00:47 |
| LarsN | did the new Open source GMA 500 driver make it into 11.11? | 00:47 |
| An-iSociaL | there's also the processor consideration | 00:47 |
| chaospsychex | thats what i am saying | 00:47 |
| bekks | cyphase: the check is being done when trying to copy a file. you cannot assume to get the "true" result before copying, because there may be changes (file deletions) while copying. | 00:47 |
| zykotick9 | cyphase, the merits of your argument are offtopic for this support channel. bekks | 00:47 |
| An-iSociaL | check to see if either processor is pegged | 00:47 |
| bekks | zykotick9: ack. | 00:47 |
| chaospsychex | An-iSocial: how ? | 00:48 |
| chaos_ | <chaospsychex>: you obviously have a bottleneck on you network. if your runnnig samba improperly misconfigured it can do that. you should monitor the local traffic with say wireshark and see where all this traffic is comming from. i mean you could be hacked and acting in a botnet and not know it.. | 00:48 |
| chaospsychex | ok i will install wireshark | 00:48 |
| okee | I see some potential problems with the USB installer. The installer formats to 32-bit, and I am running a 64-bit program. | 00:48 |
| cyphase | bekks, sure. i have had that situation, which i'm sure is the reaosn nautilus gives you the option to copy anyway. but it lets you know | 00:48 |
| An-iSociaL | try the command "top" in a shell chaospsychex | 00:48 |
| cyphase | reason* | 00:48 |
| chaospsychex | An-iSocial: ok what am i looking for in the output of 'top' | 00:49 |
| cyphase | zykotick9, sorry, momentum kept me in here :) | 00:49 |
| An-iSociaL | Cpu(s) chaospsychex | 00:49 |
| chaos_ | avahi-daemon ->die.forever ? please | 00:49 |
| An-iSociaL | the percentage | 00:49 |
| bekks | cyphase: Ok, not going to discuss this any further with you. EOD. | 00:50 |
| chaos_ | suppose i will just dissemble Johny 5 | 00:50 |
| === Bry8Star2g is now known as Bry8Star{GB | ||
| chaospsychex | An-iSocial: should i be running that cmd on the server or the client ? | 00:50 |
| cyphase | bekks, alright. no hard feelings :) | 00:51 |
| An-iSociaL | i would check both chaospsychex | 00:51 |
| An-iSociaL | if either are pegged then it will cause an issue | 00:51 |
| chaos_ | all this modern technology and no one knows what to do with it.. i love this game | 00:51 |
| chaospsychex | An-iSocial: cpu load on server is less than 15%, what do you mean 'pegged' ? | 00:52 |
| An-iSociaL | pegged >= 98% | 00:52 |
| chaos_ | pegged = 100% | 00:52 |
| chaos_ | haha | 00:52 |
| chaospsychex | nah it's not pegged, ftp server is using 7% of cpu | 00:52 |
| An-iSociaL | and the client? | 00:53 |
| philwong | can someone guide me to the linux mint room? I cannot find it anywhere | 00:53 |
| An-iSociaL | !mint | 00:53 |
| ubottu | Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 00:53 |
| philwong | does not work | 00:53 |
| pangolin | philwong: /server irc.spotchat.org | 00:53 |
| chaos_ | philwong, your on the ubuntu server.. duh! | 00:53 |
| chaospsychex | vinagre is using 50% on the client? what is vinagre ? | 00:53 |
| philwong | pangolin: its in german | 00:53 |
| An-iSociaL | http://projects.gnome.org/vinagre/ | 00:54 |
| cyphase | chaospsychex, remote desktop viewer | 00:54 |
| An-iSociaL | vnc client | 00:54 |
| philwong | spotchat is in german | 00:54 |
| pangolin | philwong: so? the channel users probably speak in English, did you join the channel? | 00:54 |
| chaospsychex | thats not it, i disconnected from the server and transfer speed is still slow | 00:54 |
| chaospsychex | could ssh be doing this? | 00:55 |
| chaospsychex | ssh server is running on both machines but no one is connected | 00:55 |
| philwong | pangolin: where do I log in from? | 00:55 |
| An-iSociaL | its likely its the transfer method | 00:55 |
| chaospsychex | what do you mean? because i am pulling the file from a mounted ntfs partition ? | 00:55 |
| pangolin | philwong: /server irc.spotchat.org and once you are connected you type /join #linuxmint-help | 00:55 |
| LarsN | chaospsychex: how fast are the machines, on what kind of link, and how big are the files? | 00:55 |
| An-iSociaL | disk speeds seem fine, cpu is not pegged, the transfer medium is having issues decoding and recoding the file on either end of the transfer | 00:56 |
| pangolin | philwong: if you need more help with connecting to a server ask in #freenode | 00:56 |
| philwong | pangolin: ok | 00:56 |
| chaospsychex | the server is a p4 2gb ram using cat5e to the router | 00:56 |
| philwong | ok mate | 00:56 |
| chaospsychex | the client is a amd turion dual core 4gb ram wireless to router | 00:56 |
| LarsN | chaospsychex: and the client? | 00:56 |
| pnorman | chaospsychex: I've heard there a speed problems with large files and ntfs in ubuntu - not sure how reliable the reports are, since I don't ever use ntfs connected to my server | 00:56 |
| LarsN | chaospsychex: and how fast is the transfer going? | 00:56 |
| chaospsychex | LarsN: currently, 225kb/sec | 00:57 |
| An-iSociaL | 300kb/s | 00:57 |
| chaospsychex | 750mb file | 00:57 |
| An-iSociaL | only 750mb | 00:57 |
| An-iSociaL | hell i would use a usb stick | 00:57 |
| chaospsychex | been transfering for 30mins already | 00:57 |
| chaospsychex | 30mins left | 00:57 |
| chaospsychex | i need to figure this out, i have hundreds of files i need to transfer that are close to 1gb | 00:58 |
| An-iSociaL | i would choose a different transfer method | 00:58 |
| An-iSociaL | smb/cifs seems to still be the best | 00:58 |
| chaospsychex | i can't use a usb stick | 00:58 |
| LarsN | chaospsychex: for the sake of comparison, how fast does rsync copy from one machine to the next | 00:58 |
| chaospsychex | LarsN: rsync ? | 00:59 |
| LarsN | rsync -avz -e user@server:/path/to/files/ /path/to/where/you/want/them | 00:59 |
| LarsN | from the client. | 00:59 |
| chaospsychex | ok let me check.... | 00:59 |
| philwong | mint is a very quiet room | 01:01 |
| okee | HP Elitebook 8360w will not boot from a USB 3.0 memory stick. I did change the boot order in the bios, so I don't know what to think. | 01:02 |
| An-iSociaL | if there an F12 boot option? | 01:02 |
| Bomba | Hi ubuntu experts. I'm having a problem that i thought you might be able to help me with: I just loaded 11.1 onto my new computer, but it wont recognize my wired ethernet-type internet connection. | 01:03 |
| Bomba | Rather, it seems to recognize it but says 'wired network disconected: you are now offline' | 01:03 |
| Crisco | 11.1? | 01:03 |
| Crisco | oh 11.10 | 01:03 |
| chaospsychex | LarsN: speedup is 51316.20 ??? what did that do? it listed files | 01:03 |
| cousteau | Crisco, that's 11.10 with the decimals trimmed | 01:03 |
| chaospsychex | LarsN: it was instant | 01:03 |
| philwong | a question.... why does ubuntu say it comes with anti-virus and windows does not | 01:04 |
| Bomba | any thoughts? Ive been trying at this for hours -_- | 01:04 |
| philwong | when windows viruses dont effect ubuntu | 01:04 |
| Crisco | cousteau: I figured that a moment after I typed that | 01:04 |
| chaospsychex | LarsN: want me to past output ? | 01:04 |
| LarsN | chaospsychex: rsync by default moves directories full of files. | 01:04 |
| chaospsychex | LarsN: it didn't move anything, just listed | 01:04 |
| cousteau | philwong, no idea... well, ubuntu (linux in general) doesn't need an antivirus | 01:04 |
| chromaticwt | anyone know how to get normal alt-tab behavior with ubuntu 11.10? | 01:04 |
| cousteau | unless you want to put a mail server or something like that | 01:04 |
| philwong | cousteau: why? | 01:04 |
| cousteau | or scan other partitions | 01:04 |
| philwong | when on the internet | 01:04 |
| LarsN | chaospsychex use a pastebin and sure. | 01:04 |
| chromaticwt | I want to make alt-tab switch between every window not just between apps. | 01:05 |
| zykotick9 | !virus | philwong | 01:05 |
| ubottu | philwong: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 01:05 |
| An-iSociaL | okee: i was trying to find an actual answer for you laptop but i cannot find anything on "HP Elitebook 8360w" | 01:05 |
| An-iSociaL | asin, zero results for even the laptop itself | 01:05 |
| philwong | I see | 01:06 |
| Bomba | i read that enterering ivp6 (?) settings could help, but i cant figure out how to get the comp's IP address. | 01:06 |
| Bomba | for one thing | 01:06 |
| bandit5432 | any one having issues with laptop lcd not blanking or blanking with the backlite still on? | 01:07 |
| LarsN | anyone know if this made it into 11.11? http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=OTE0NQ | 01:07 |
| An-iSociaL | Bomba: are there additional drivers for your network card? | 01:07 |
| okee | hP support has gone to the dogs. Ever sine Meg Whitman took control there is no support. I tried logging into the chat area over a week ago, and received an error code indicating there was no support for my product. | 01:07 |
| === zork_ is now known as zorklat | ||
| An-iSociaL | im using lxde, from the preferences menu theres an option "Additional Drivers", within there they have drivers which require special care to be loaded as they are 3rd party | 01:08 |
| An-iSociaL | Bomba: ^ | 01:08 |
| bandit5432 | LarsN, its 11.10 and that was added to the kernel tree in 2.6.39 so it should be in 11.10 | 01:08 |
| Bomba | ok. sorry so dumb,but what is lxde? | 01:09 |
| An-iSociaL | okee: you sure its an 8360w? | 01:09 |
| philwong | Ubuntu 32-bit (reommended) | 01:09 |
| philwong | huh? | 01:09 |
| An-iSociaL | Bomba: just the desktop | 01:09 |
| philwong | Will it work on 64 bit machine | 01:09 |
| bandit5432 | philwong, yes | 01:09 |
| tensorpudding | philwong, 32-bit works on 64-bit machines | 01:09 |
| philwong | ok | 01:09 |
| An-iSociaL | locate "Additional Drivers" in your start menu somewhere, Bomba | 01:09 |
| tensorpudding | it's just that 64-bit won't work on 32-bit machines | 01:09 |
| philwong | why in heavens name does it not suggest 64 bit | 01:10 |
| bandit5432 | if you need to ask if it works then most people then shold stick to 32bit ;) | 01:10 |
| Bomba | ok, working on that.a thousand thank yous anisocial | 01:10 |
| bandit5432 | should' | 01:10 |
| tensorpudding | philwong, because 64-bit won't work on 32-bit machines | 01:10 |
| philwong | ok | 01:10 |
| chaospsychex | LarsN: http://pastie.org/2813036 | 01:10 |
| LarsN | I'm a big fan of 32bit | 01:10 |
| tensorpudding | philwong, because until recently there was notable software that didn't work on 64-bit | 01:11 |
| tpe | Isn't 64-bit going to be the recommended release from precise onwards? | 01:11 |
| An-iSociaL | indeed bandit5432, i could seriously utilize 64-bit but im nervous of its driver support | 01:11 |
| philwong | But if you HAVE a 64 bit machine... is it ok to use 64 bit or is 32 better for some reason | 01:11 |
| philwong | tensorpudding: ahh | 01:11 |
| tensorpudding | philwong, you won't miss out on hardly anything | 01:11 |
| LarsN | philwong: 6 to 1, half a dozen to another. | 01:11 |
| bandit5432 | An-iSociaL, what driver are you worried about? | 01:11 |
| An-iSociaL | specifically video drivers | 01:11 |
| An-iSociaL | radeon hd4200 | 01:12 |
| LarsN | philwong: I tend to run 32bit most of the time if I have 4gb or less ram. | 01:12 |
| tensorpudding | philwong, i can think of one program that doesn't work in 64-bit | 01:12 |
| bandit5432 | i am using nvidia running on 64 bit typing this | 01:12 |
| === revolver is now known as Ruzu | ||
| philwong | tensorpudding: which one is that | 01:12 |
| An-iSociaL | what card bandit5432 ? | 01:12 |
| tensorpudding | philwong, zsnes | 01:12 |
| bandit5432 | tensorpudding, and it does not work with ia32libs? | 01:12 |
| An-iSociaL | im in the market for a new one, would be helpful to know which ones work | 01:12 |
| philwong | tensorpudding: hahaahahaa EPIC!! ;o | 01:12 |
| philwong | emulator? | 01:12 |
| bandit5432 | so wrong :P | 01:12 |
| bandit5432 | An-iSociaL, gtx 9800 | 01:13 |
| Bomba | i really must apologize for being totally green, but what is the start menu on ubuntu? the thing you get by pressing the windows key? | 01:13 |
| tensorpudding | and that's not even accurate anymore, because the version in debian unstable that will soon be making its way into ubuntu can compile on 32-bit with ia32libs | 01:13 |
| bandit5432 | its old i know | 01:13 |
| LarsN | chaospsychex: leave off the c#howto.7z and it will move the entire contents of the Downloads folder | 01:13 |
| chaospsychex | LarsN: it took 1min to transfer 15mb using rsync | 01:13 |
| LarsN | chaospsychex: that's slow. | 01:13 |
| Ruzu | bomba, yes, i think so, but i'm a newbie too :] | 01:13 |
| LarsN | how fast is the disk in the dv4? | 01:13 |
| An-iSociaL | mines older bandit5432 lol | 01:13 |
| LarsN | 5400rpm? | 01:13 |
| csdserver | I recently did a switch from unity desktop to a kubuntu desktop manager and things have been slight buggy: main issue is Muon Software Center won't prompt for password but complains about priveleges if I try to install anything. Anyone know how I can sort this? | 01:13 |
| An-iSociaL | Bomba: yes the windows button | 01:14 |
| bandit5432 | An-iSociaL, i think it would work then just look up the 64-bit drivers and see it will be listed or not | 01:14 |
| chaospsychex | LarsN: i don't know | 01:14 |
| zorklat | I recently installed a radeon video card, and I have no sound. | 01:14 |
| chaospsychex | i can download 15mb off the internet in 3 secs | 01:14 |
| LarsN | chaospsychex: It sounds like either the wireless, or the disk in the dv4 is the shortfall. | 01:14 |
| chaospsychex | i can download 15mb off the internet in 3 secs, using wireless | 01:14 |
| LarsN | chaospsychex: can you hook the DV4 into the switch/router and test again for good measure? | 01:14 |
| Bomba | ok. ive got browse the web,view photos, check email, listen to music. typing preferences into the sarch bar shows Broadcast Preferences? | 01:15 |
| bandit5432 | hmm maybe i need to ask my questions else where | 01:15 |
| chaospsychex | sure | 01:15 |
| bandit5432 | is there an advanced #ubuntu room? | 01:15 |
| An-iSociaL | bandit5432: i have no clue what your question was, sorry | 01:15 |
| An-iSociaL | theres alot of action in here | 01:15 |
| okee | well I get the exact same problem with the USB install as I do with the cd install, so this raises the issue of what is wrong. Previously the DVD did come back clean with an MD5 checksum, but I am still getting the error messages that ata4, ata5, ata6, SATA Link down. What is going on? Is there something wrong with the install ISO? A conflict with HP? | 01:15 |
| ActionParsnip | csdserver: if you change the .desktop in /usr/share/applications to run: kdesudo software-center it should be ok | 01:16 |
| bandit5432 | An-iSociaL, its something that is going to be a pain i can for see | 01:16 |
| An-iSociaL | okee sounds like it doesnt understand your computer | 01:16 |
| ActionParsnip | okee: What is the model? | 01:16 |
| Ruzu | <-- spent weeks trying to install ubuntu, until a random google result gave me the secret sauce: residual raid information was on my disks, and the installer went bonkers because of it (there wasn't a raid any more) | 01:17 |
| philwong | ubuntu needs 15 gig of HD space?? | 01:17 |
| skumara | I'm trying to install this source code from here http://live.gnome.org/GPointingDeviceSettings . first i do ./configure than when I do make I get this error make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. please help | 01:17 |
| philwong | good gosh,lol | 01:17 |
| okee | I have an HP Elitebook 8360w | 01:18 |
| zorklat | philwong, never in my experience. you can certainly install that much or more, but not by default. | 01:18 |
| csdserver | thanks ActionParsnip | 01:18 |
| okee | There is an error message indicating that DOE doesn't suppuport DPO or FUA. What does that mean? | 01:18 |
| philwong | zorklat: its showing that on the system requiremtns for 11.10 | 01:18 |
| bandit5432 | skumara, why are you not using the version in the repos? | 01:18 |
| bandit5432 | skumara, apt-get install gpointing-device-settings | 01:19 |
| skumara | just want to try latest version. | 01:19 |
| okee | I think I need to hire a sorcerer in order to install Ubuntu. No ordinary disk is going to work. WE need deep magic :) | 01:19 |
| zorklat | philwong, admittedly, these days I prefer lubuntu. | 01:19 |
| bandit5432 | the one in the repos is the latest version | 01:19 |
| Ruzu | where in the filesystem does apt-get put things when you use install? | 01:19 |
| philwong | zorklat: oh really | 01:19 |
| philwong | zorklat: why is that | 01:19 |
| okee | I am going to do a search for the error messages, and see what they mean. | 01:20 |
| pnorman | Ruzu: I had weird problems on my install until I made a gparted boot drive and wiped out all my raid volumes | 01:20 |
| okee | Also, it might be worth checking to see if any linux version will work. I already have a burned version of Sabayon.... | 01:20 |
| skumara | im using 10.04 LTS. the one in repo is version 1.3 and the latest version is 1.5. | 01:20 |
| ActionParsnip | okee: isit a recent model by HP? | 01:20 |
| zorklat | philwong, I got into lxde when I was playing WoW -- got like +1 to 2 fps vs gnome 2.x | 01:20 |
| bandit5432 | skumara, sorry i assumed you where using the latest 11.10 | 01:20 |
| zorklat | and now I prefer it, esp to unity, which just doesn't work for me | 01:20 |
| philwong | zorklat: on wine? | 01:20 |
| An-iSociaL | okee: final suggestion, check for emulation modes for sata in the bios | 01:21 |
| bandit5432 | gnome 3 fallback mode here | 01:21 |
| puff | I'm trying to back up my laptop. I ran into some weird problems iwth rsync, earlier, so I booted into 11.10 liveCD, thinking that maybe the problems were because I was backing up the system while live. How do I get the partitions mounted? | 01:21 |
| ActionParsnip | zorklat: lxde uses fewer resources to exist | 01:21 |
| An-iSociaL | if there are settings, toggle them around and see if you get results | 01:21 |
| skumara | bandit5432, any idea why the error | 01:21 |
| bandit5432 | skumara, i am looking | 01:21 |
| zorklat | philwong, yes. I didn't have XP, and couldn't afford it. | 01:21 |
| puff | In unity, where's the eqiuvalent of the old Administration menu? | 01:21 |
| philwong | zorklat: oh I see | 01:21 |
| zorklat | ActionParsnip, that's why I went to it. | 01:21 |
| philwong | so anyone can just use windows free | 01:22 |
| An-iSociaL | indeed ActionParsnip, <3 lubuntu | 01:22 |
| philwong | but using wine | 01:22 |
| philwong | lol | 01:22 |
| chromaticwt | so holding alt after alt-tab switches between windows within a currently selected app. | 01:22 |
| puff | Hm, found Disk Manager, it won't let me mount the drives, says "the daemon is being inhibited". | 01:22 |
| zorklat | philwong, it worked fine. I was getting around 25 fps when I started going to school and gave up on WoW entirely. and given I used an Nvidia GeForce 7100 w/ 128Mb, that was pretty good. | 01:23 |
| ActionParsnip | philwong: its not windows, wine translates the directx calls to native linux calls | 01:23 |
| puff | help? | 01:23 |
| puff | Sigh. | 01:23 |
| okee | I have done some checking online, and one of the posts suggests that the controller is the problem and doesn't support the OS. http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-984157.html Anyone have an idea as to what is going on? Or how i can get this to work? | 01:23 |
| philwong | ActionParsnip: thats all? | 01:23 |
| philwong | it has a program files... system files | 01:23 |
| An-iSociaL | okee: final suggestion, check for emulation modes for sata in the bios | 01:23 |
| philwong | it looks pretty windows to me | 01:23 |
| An-iSociaL | (repost) | 01:24 |
| zorklat | philwong, yes, that's how wine works. And it works pretty well. | 01:24 |
| ActionParsnip | philwong: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wine_%28software%29 | 01:24 |
| okee | Yes, this is a recent model of HP. Supposedly this is supposed to run Linux, but the online postings give me some doubts. The postings suggest it isn't compatible with the controller http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-984157.html | 01:24 |
| bandit5432 | skumara, i dont know | 01:24 |
| skilz_ | what do I need to install to watch youtube flash videos? | 01:24 |
| skilz_ | Says im missing a plugin | 01:24 |
| skumara | bandit5432, its ok. | 01:24 |
| ActionParsnip | philwong: it only gives part of the functionality just in a similar fashion. It's not windows | 01:24 |
| skumara | thanks' | 01:24 |
| chromaticwt | ubuntu needs better documentation | 01:24 |
| bandit5432 | skumara, let me download the source real quick and see what i get | 01:25 |

| An-iSociaL | they have a games database so you can check for the game you intend to run | 01:27 |
| bandit5432 | did some one dos or hack it? | 01:27 |
| okee | ok. The options for the SATA device mode are AHCI, IDE, and RAID. It is currently set to AHCI. Is that what I should have? | 01:27 |
| An-iSociaL | try IDE okee | 01:27 |
| An-iSociaL | if the controller is emulating it may have a better chance of being compatible | 01:28 |

| okee | Also during the bootup it says ATA2 failed. And here an HP authorized service center supposedly checked this thing out. I think something goofy is going on. | 01:32 |

| okee | HP did send out an advisory, but I wanted a tech to look at it so that it wouldn't avoid my warranty. I am having trouble believing that just a bios would stop an Ubuntu installation. ubuntu is supposed to be one of the more tolerant linux installations, and usually will setup most anywhere. | 01:34 |
| An-iSociaL | but if it cant access a disk theres nothing you can do | 01:35 |

| Taek | i would very much like to solve this without a fresh install | 02:19 |

| pnorman | Taek: You could try switching it then booting off of a USB flash drive | 02:20 |

| pnorman | Taek: I don't know, but if it crashes with a LiveCD or other install on a USB flash drive it's more likely to be hardware | 02:24 |
| bandit5432 | _r00t_, always nice when something gets fixed | 02:24 |
| rallf | Taek: more likely a linux hacker has screwed up because concurrency ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrency_%28computer_science%29 ) is hard. re-installing the same software won't change it. be thankful that single-processor hides the bug. | 02:24 |
| _r00t_ | velcroshooz: 915 should be straight forward dpms set in xorg.conf ? | 02:24 |
| bandit5432 | i am hating dpms right now!! | 02:25 |
| velcroshooz | _r00t_: ive not touched anything in xorg.conf, should it be set there by default or no? | 02:25 |

| jen__ | anyone know how to connect the skype to just one window instead of a bajillion | 02:41 |
| jen__ | :D | 02:41 |
| fusion271 | I have a home server running ubuntu 10.04. I'm samba sharing a 2tb usb drive so my wife can copy her photos to location outside of her notebook. She uploads folders of images from her photography biz to this USB drive. in each of these folders buried within somewhere, there's gonna be a zip file that I'd like to FTP or SSH up to my webserver. Can rsync do that? | 02:43 |
| _r00t_ | velcroshooz: that doesn't look nice ? Is it just the DPMS problem that you're having or does STR also not work ? | 02:43 |
| jen__ | anyone?? | 02:43 |
| starlon | soreau: thanks | 02:44 |
| fusion271 | jen__: repeat your question, I just got here | 02:44 |
| velcroshooz | _r00t_: STR? | 02:44 |
| _r00t_ | velcroshooz: suspend to ram | 02:44 |
| jen__ | i dont know how to get skype in just ONE window not three or four and a bajillion | 02:44 |
| nixxofugi | quick question. during ubuntu install, i'm not seeing my hard drives to be able to select which partition i need to install to. I know i need to install a package to see them, but i cant remember which one... can anyone help? | 02:44 |
| velcroshooz | _r00t_: not sure about that, i dont use it. biggest issue is i have to have my screen set to never turn off right now, because i cant get it back once it does :/ | 02:45 |
| tauren | So I fucked up my new 11.10 upgrade by running "sudo apt-get install gnome-tweak-tool" | 02:45 |
| fusion271 | nixxofugi: I think you want gparted | 02:45 |
| tauren | no longer boots into unity | 02:45 |
| bandit5432 | tauren, just choose unity at the login screen | 02:45 |
| tauren | did this because I wanted to change the color of text on bacground icons | 02:45 |
| nixxofugi | no that's not it. | 02:46 |
| soreau | nixxofugi: You don't need to install anything. It depends on which partitioning method you choose. Manual Partitioning will allow full control | 02:46 |
| bandit5432 | the little gog wheel next to name at the login screen lets you change back to unity | 02:46 |
| tauren | bandit5432: there isn't a unity option. I've tried Gnome and Ubuntu | 02:46 |
| nixxofugi | i went to manual, and it literally doesnt detect my partitions | 02:46 |
| bandit5432 | ubuntu shuold be unity | 02:46 |
| bandit5432 | are you running 11.04 or 11.10? | 02:46 |
| tauren | l11.10 | 02:47 |
| tauren | bandit5432: ok, i'm logging out to check again. | 02:47 |
| bandit5432 | you can always apt-get install unity | 02:47 |
| tauren | but last time i logged in with Ubuntu, I didn't get the menu bar across the top, just desktop icons. | 02:47 |
| bandit5432 | if you did to much damage | 02:47 |
| nixxofugi | does anyone know what i mean? | 02:48 |
| bandit5432 | nixxofugi, it does not see the partitions or the drive? | 02:48 |
| tauren | bandit5432: across the top is the menu bar for nautilus i think. | 02:48 |
| nixxofugi | bandit: both | 02:48 |
| bandit5432 | tauren, thats gnome 3 fallback | 02:48 |
| nixxofugi | bandit5432: it | 02:48 |
| tauren | so I should apt-get install unity? | 02:48 |
| bandit5432 | tauren, i would then open gnome-tweak and make sure you dont have fallback set to force | 02:49 |
| An-iSociaL | i think ive just lost my mind | 02:49 |
| nixxofugi | bandit5432: it's 64bit version. i click on install ubuntu from the livecd and it takes me to the language, then after that the screen where i can select drive/partition but its blank | 02:49 |
| tauren | bandit5432: how do i even open gnome-tweak without a launcher? i don't even know how to open a terminal | 02:49 |
| An-iSociaL | i cant remember the route add command | 02:49 |
| bandit5432 | tauren, hit alt+f2 type gnome-tweak | 02:50 |

| _r00t_ | wonders how you auto select a kernel under the 'old kernels' menu in grub | 02:50 |
| bandit5432 | you select it and hit enter _r00t_ | 02:50 |
| bandit5432 | tauren, you get it ? | 02:51 |
| _r00t_ | bandit5432: ROFL ! I meant within grub.cfg via the default="foobar" parameter | 02:51 |
| bandit5432 | _r00t_, i use startup manager and i dont worry about it :P | 02:51 |
| _r00t_ | bandit5432: GOOD TIP ! | 02:51 |
| jen__ | does anyone know how to get skype to be in just ONE window??? | 02:52 |
| bandit5432 | hmm i had a better grub editor where did it go!! | 02:52 |
| tauren | bandit5432: somethings not right. i understand what you are saying, but i'm going to have to reboot before trying it. i'll ping you back. | 02:52 |
| bandit5432 | _r00t_, bootup manager works better imho | 02:53 |
| bandit5432 | no thats not it :| | 02:53 |
| nixxofugi | how can it be this difficult to install an os that claims to be superior to the rest? | 02:53 |
| fusion271 | I'm running an ubuntu server at home here and am interacting with it via terminal only… when it's complaining at me about updates, what apt command am I looking for take care of these updates | 02:53 |
| fusion271 | ?19 packages can be updated. | 02:53 |
| fusion271 | 17 updates are security updates. | 02:53 |
| bandit5432 | nixxofugi, whats it do again | 02:53 |
| _r00t_ | bandit5432: :/ I'm apt getting startup-manager ... I'll try bootup manager too then :p | 02:53 |
| bandit5432 | _r00t_, dont use bootup manager its for services | 02:54 |
| bandit5432 | fusion271, apt-get upgrade | 02:54 |
| ActionParsnip | fusion271: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade | 02:54 |

| no1 | hello? | 02:56 |
| nixxofugi | i click install ubuntu 11.10 from the live cd. select my language. it asks me if i want to install packages during the install and also asks me to install third party software. then it takes me to the screen where i can select a hard drive/partition to install to but it's empty! no drives or partitions to select from. i know i need to install a package from the software center but i cant remember the package name | 02:56 |
| greg3000 | hey fellas, I'm running the latest distro.. actually upgrading now to the very newest. I changed around some video drivers and xorg.conf and my ubuntu unity seems to have reverted back to regular gnome.. how to change back? | 02:56 |
| no1 | nixxofugi, make sure you hard drives are mounted | 02:56 |
| tauren | bandit5432: hitting alt-f2 doesn't do anythting. I think i'm just running nautilus as my shell or something. | 02:56 |
| bandit5432 | nixxofugi, try booting into the live cd and openinf up gparted | 02:57 |
| nixxofugi | gparted shows the drives/partitions | 02:58 |
| no1 | is anyone there? | 02:58 |
| bandit5432 | tauren, ctrl + alt + t | 02:58 |
| bandit5432 | nixxofugi, good at least they are showing up | 02:58 |
| tauren | bandit5432: nope, doesn't do anything either | 02:59 |
| bandit5432 | tauren, you have no menus at all? | 02:59 |
| ActionParsnip | nixxofugi: if you run: sudo fdisk -l do you see the drive and/or partitions | 02:59 |
| tauren | bandit5432: across the top of the screen is the following menu: File Edit View Go Bookmarks Help | 03:00 |

| Evanescence | no1: no /var/log path in output | 03:01 |
| no1 | does it have send mail? | 03:01 |

| bandit5432 | tauren, you see that its called advanced tools | 03:05 |
| tauren | bandit5432: I installed gnome-tweak-tool. but i then removed it trying to get things back. I also did a apt-get autoremove and removed a ton of stuff. | 03:05 |
| urlin2u | doh advanced setting* | 03:05 |

| okee | Well this is the verdict. I think the Ubuntu disk is good because I was able to boot from it on my desktop. I tried the same disk again on the HP Elitebook 8560w, and it wouldn't install, not even running it from DVD. Also, I did try SAbayon 64-bit on the HP, and it would install, so there is some type of incompatibility going on with the HP laptop and the Ubuntu disk. The question is whether | 03:07 |
| okee | or not something can be done about it? | 03:07 |
| okee | Also, I switched bach to the AHSE mode in the bios. I don't think the IDE mode is the correct one. | 03:07 |
| bandit5432 | okee, did you try the fix i mentioned? | 03:07 |
| okee | I didn't notice. What is fix i? | 03:08 |

| tauren | should i log in as ubuntu, or ubuntu 2d? | 03:08 |
| bandit5432 | okee, I had the same issue. However I was able to start the live-cd/usb by adding the following grub boot parameter (using F6): nouveau.modeset=0 | 03:08 |
| bandit5432 | tauren, dont logout | 03:09 |
| bandit5432 | run gnome-tweak | 03:09 |
| tauren | ok, well already did. but will log back in. | 03:09 |
| okee | So at what poin do I use the F6 nouveau.modeset=0? | 03:09 |
| bandit5432 | from the terminal run gnome-tweak-tool | 03:09 |
| bandit5432 | okee, at the start | 03:09 |
| okee | I had the same result from DVD and USB, so I will probably use the DVDW. | 03:10 |
| bandit5432 | hit f6 and add the nouve part at the end | 03:10 |
| velcroshooz | 11.10 on my laptop, whenever the screen turns off, it refuses to turn back on - touchpad or key presses do nothing. Anyone else experienced this? Suggestions? | 03:10 |
| okee | ok. I iwll try it and see what happens. | 03:10 |
| tauren | bandit5432: its running | 03:10 |
| bandit5432 | tauren, under desktop tab what does it show for file manger handle desktop? | 03:11 |
| tauren | bandit5432: should I turn off "Have the file manager handle the desktop"? | 03:11 |
| bandit5432 | yes | 03:11 |
| tauren | it says on | 03:11 |
| tauren | ok | 03:11 |
| tauren | done | 03:11 |
| tauren | bandit5432: should i try logging out and back in with "Ubuntu"? | 03:12 |
| bandit5432 | yes | 03:12 |
| tauren | bandit5432: would you say the recommendations at this link are reasonable? I'm wary now because the first one screwed things up. http://www.webupd8.org/2011/10/things-to-tweak-after-installing-ubuntu.html | 03:14 |
| francisvgarcia | hey guys why ubuntu freezes when I play a movie | 03:14 |
| bandit5432 | tauren, i use several of them | 03:14 |
| francisvgarcia | and restart the session | 03:14 |
| okee | I don't have the nouveau.modeset=0? option at start. I selected the F6 and now I am presented with the following options: 1) acpi=off, 2)noapic, 3) nolapic, 4) edd=on, 5) nodmiraid, 6) nomodeset, 7) Free software only | 03:14 |
| rallf | velcroshooz: i'd disable the screensaver | 03:14 |
| okee | These are the only options I found after selecting F6. | 03:14 |
| bandit5432 | hmm whats the key for custom | 03:15 |
| velcroshooz | rallf: its not the screensaver .. its the power saving option to turn off the screen. | 03:15 |
| okee | Are you sure it isn't something like nomodeset? | 03:15 |
| tauren | bandit5432: ok. So logging in with "Ubuntu" now gives me just my desktop with no icons, no menu bar, nothing. | 03:15 |
| okee | I regret I didn't buy the Macbook Pro. Would have been a lot less trouble. | 03:15 |
| bandit5432 | turen log back into the other one that worked | 03:15 |
| bandit5432 | tauren, ' | 03:15 |
| bandit5432 | okee you need to get to custom and add the line that was posted | 03:16 |
| _r00t_ | google 0000:00:1a.70000:00:1d.7ls: cannot access /sys/bus/pci/drivers/xhci_hcd: No such file or directory - or is #ubuntu my friend ? | 03:16 |
| velcroshooz | should be 'e' to edit the line | 03:16 |
| rallf | velcroshooz: mmh. then i guess disabling _that_ isn't good enough for you, because you want to save power. | 03:16 |
| velcroshooz | rallf: yeah .. ive got it set to never turn off now, because otherwise its a reboot to get back .. but ultimately id like to fix it ;) | 03:17 |
| starlon | I have a CrystalFontz CFA634 model character LCD, and when Linux starts up it prints ]:[] characters randomly covering almost 2 rows. It should start with a greeting display mentioning CyrstalFontz and CFA634, plus a logo and I think firmware vs. | 03:17 |
| starlon | I'm pretty sure it's in the Linux kernel itself. | 03:18 |
| w0_ | anyone know of a good site where I can find themes for 11.10? much thx! | 03:18 |
| starlon | I could fix it if I knew how to build and install a custom kernel. | 03:18 |
| bandit5432 | okee, choose the install ubuntu but dont hit enter | 03:18 |
| okee | I don't have a custom option. | 03:18 |
| bandit5432 | okee, choose the install ubuntu but dont hit enter | 03:19 |
| _r00t_ | w0_: Install ubuntu tweak and look at additional repositories - There's a heap of good ones via ppa | 03:19 |
| w0_ | _r00t_ : sweet -- I appreciate it! | 03:19 |
| w0_ | =) | 03:19 |
| tauren | bandit5432: ok, logged back in. what's the diff between "Ubuntu" and "Ubuntu 2d"? | 03:19 |
| rallf | francisvgarcia: i don't know what causes it. but i avoid this problem by using mplayer -vo x11 (not as good as -vo xv, but doen't trigger the problem) | 03:19 |
| bandit5432 | type the nouveau.modeset=0 at the end and hit enter | 03:19 |
| tauren | bandit5432: know how to fix the "ubuntu" lone? | 03:20 |
| bandit5432 | tauren, open up system settings | 03:20 |
| okee | I have selected "install Ubuntu", but have not selected the enter button. No what? I still don't see a custom option when selecting F6, or anywhere else in the menu? Were you thinking of Knome? or KDE? | 03:21 |
| tauren | one thing i notice in 2D is that clicking a top menu icon doesn't keep the dropdown menu open. I have to hold my mouse button down to see and use the dropdown menu. | 03:21 |
| okee | Again I tried running it from disk, and it errors out indicating various ATA were down. | 03:21 |
| starlon | How do I build a custom kernel in Ubuntu? | 03:21 |
| starlon | Hmm never googled :) | 03:21 |
| okee | Where do you find the custom menu? Is this available in both KDE? Or just Gnome? | 03:22 |
| _r00t_ | w0_: enable the bisigi and Faenza themes for a start ... Now I can't see where the others came from but there are a lot in synaptic or tweak | 03:22 |
| bandit5432 | okee, hit f6 then hit escape | 03:22 |
| bandit5432 | okee, then scroll up to install ubuntu | 03:22 |
| tauren | bandit5432: what should i do in system settings? | 03:22 |
| okee | ok. Not it says I am leaving the graphical boot menu and starting the text mode interface. Is that what I am supposed to do? | 03:22 |
| bandit5432 | okee, no i didnt say hit enter :P | 03:23 |
| bandit5432 | tauren, click on system info at the bottom | 03:23 |
| _r00t_ | starlon: it's simple ... untar && make config && make -j5 && make modules_install && update_initramd && make install; done | 03:23 |
| okee | I didn't hit enter. | 03:23 |
| w0_ | _r00t_ : will-do. thanks! | 03:23 |
| Lance_ | hello guys | 03:23 |
| okee | I think the option you want me to select, isn't available in the version of Ubuntu that is on my DVDRW. | 03:23 |

| starlon | _r00t_: Thanks. :) | 03:25 |
| bandit5432 | so are you running unity? | 03:25 |
| kints | hey how can i boot linux from usb ? i just stick the ISO on a usb drive? | 03:25 |
| Guest65704 | kints, no | 03:25 |
| okee | WEll it started installing from disk in text mode, and again it stopped with errors. However, the error messages were different this time. | 03:25 |
| Guest65704 | you have to run | 03:25 |
| bandit5432 | KingPin, unetbootin google it | 03:25 |
| Guest65704 | startup disk creater | 03:25 |
| tauren | bandit5432: well, i have the icons down the left and the menu bar with the icons across the top. it looks the same as when I first upgraded to 11.10. | 03:25 |
| _r00t_ | starlon: That was the condensed version ;) Good luck .... lots of HOWTOs on the net | 03:25 |
| bandit5432 | tauren, i would say you are in unity | 03:26 |
| tauren | bandit5432: i agree | 03:26 |
| kints | Guest65704: i think i putted the question wrong. I mean i want to install ubuntu from a usb stick | 03:26 |
| kints | so i need to boot the install from usb | 03:26 |
| kints | is there any startup disk creator for osx ? | 03:26 |
| bandit5432 | kints, did you install to the usb drive like guest said with the startup disk creator? | 03:26 |
| bandit5432 | kints use unetbootin | 03:27 |
| okee | I have returned to the Ubuntu install menu. Currently the "install Ubuntu" is selected, but I haven't selected return. | 03:27 |
| okee | So what now? | 03:27 |
| tauren | bandit5432: but it doesn't behave the same... like i said, I have to hold my mouse button down for the dropdown menus to stay visible. | 03:27 |
| kints | bandit5432: thanks! i'll give it a try | 03:27 |
| starlon | _r00t_: kk | 03:27 |
| bandit5432 | tauren, you need to change the theme back to default in gnome-tweak | 03:27 |

| peeps[lappy] | in previous versions xchat had a tray icon that would blink when my nick was highlighted, this was visible in the gnome panel at the top by default. now in gnome 3, there is a xchat icon in some bottom autohiding bar that only shows when you mouse to the lower right of the screen. this makes visual alerts useless when i have to go searching for it in the first place | 04:06 |

| Mesto | hi world | 04:08 |
| ooph | retarded and/or flamebait question, i know... but is there a quick and easy way to get rid of Unity and get a desktop that looks and feels like "Ubuntu Classic"? I've grown quite found of a desktop interface that doesn't make me fight my system to get anything useful accomplished. | 04:08 |
| weirdpercent | ooph, try linux mint | 04:09 |
| peeps[lappy] | hmm, i have "xchat" installed, maybe the xchat-gnome is better integrated in gnome3, i will try that and see if it's any better | 04:09 |
| aeon-ltd | ooph: using classic? | 04:09 |
| aeon-ltd | !classic | ooph | 04:09 |
| ubottu | ooph: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". For 11.10, see !notunity | 04:09 |
| ooph | aeon-ltd: not available in 11.10 ? | 04:09 |
| ooph | !notunity | 04:10 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 04:10 |
| aeon-ltd | pp7: not the greatest solution but if there is really something you need from gnome-terminal you could just use another term | 04:10 |
| pp7 | hah | 04:10 |
| _r00t_ | !notubuntu | 04:11 |
| csdserver | !spoon | 04:11 |
| ubottu | There is no spoon. | 04:11 |
| _r00t_ | :( disappointing | 04:11 |
| ooph | hmm. that might be just the thing. I mostly miss being able to have system monitor in the panel, but i also hate the new applications interface and dock-style whatever-it-is that is always getting in my way - unless i'm looking for something, in which case it's *useless* and getting in my way. | 04:11 |
| ooph | _r00t_: what would you recommend, sir? | 04:11 |
| _r00t_ | ooph: pinguy OS 11.04 - perfect for gnome 2 + compiz | 04:12 |
| * _r00t_ is using it at the moment on my laptop pingEEE 32bit with PAE on my notebook rips. Desktop 64bit pinguy os | 04:13 | |
| ooph | pinguy looks like it still has the dock thingies, and the "menu bar from the current application is the one at the top of the screen" retardedness. those are (mainly) what i'm trying to avoid... | 04:14 |
| ooph | I would also like to point out that I'm not stuck on an ubuntu-based distro, or even a debian-based one. | 04:14 |
| Mesto | anyone had trouble with voiping from empathy to google voice plugin? | 04:15 |

| ooph | i guess pretty much every distro is stuck on some sort of user-hating vendetta against normalcy and sanity, then. | 04:16 |
| weirdpercent | I settled on mint | 04:16 |

| Sypher | true | 04:42 |
| ubuntu64bit | jiltdil: exactly what i was gonna say some people want to see if it works and what bugs are | 04:42 |
| ooph | Sypher: switching to LTS would simply delay the inevitable craptastic change for another 6 months - what do I do then? It seems to me to be more useful to figure out how to force Ubuntu to act the way I want it to, the way it *used* to, so that I can make that change to each upgrade (assuming I stick with Canonical, despite it feeling like they want to kick me in the face all the time). | 04:42 |
| ActionParsnip | ooph: LTS is supported 3 years on the desktop | 04:42 |
| Sypher | ooph: the next update for LTS is in 2 years. | 04:42 |
| Sypher | or 3 | 04:42 |
| ActionParsnip | next LTS is next year in April | 04:43 |
| ooph | next year, in april... so, 12.04 ? | 04:43 |
| Sypher | i dont think they will reject gnome2 though, or will they? | 04:43 |
| ActionParsnip | yes | 04:43 |
| Auckla | Well gentlemen. I am ZenMaster Also. | 04:43 |
| weirdpercent | I installed linux mint because I had to many problems with the 11.1 classic | 04:43 |
| Auckla | I tossed that old machine. | 04:43 |
| ooph | in other words, in 5 months. | 04:43 |
| Auckla | And built a new one. I don't know what it was that was not making it take a install of anything, | 04:43 |
| _r00t_ | starlon: heh :) | 04:43 |
| Auckla | So this machine is currently half the hardware but three times the storage. | 04:43 |
| ActionParsnip | weirdpercent: mint has a tiny community compared to Ubuntu's | 04:44 |
| _r00t_ | starlon: or it could be bad sensor readings | 04:44 |
| Auckla | Runs quiet, and best of all, it runs., | 04:44 |
| amatuer | how to flood IRC on Linux ??? | 04:44 |
| Sypher | amatuer: lol. | 04:44 |
| Sypher | Linus Torvalds said he hates Unity. | 04:45 |
| Sypher | or maybe that is a rumor | 04:45 |
| ||||||||| | Is there a flooding program forLinux yet int he repositories? or an easy deb? | 04:45 |
| Stanley00 | Sypher: where đi you hear about that? | 04:46 |
| Sypher | on google. | 04:46 |
| Sypher | but, dont hold me against it. it might be a rumor. | 04:46 |
| amatuer | what's keyword :D | 04:46 |
| Auckla | amatuer: ? | 04:46 |
| ooph | linus uses xfce | 04:46 |
| ooph | http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/linus-ditches-kde-and-gnome-so-what | 04:46 |
| Auckla | Anyone read what linus had to say about c++? | 04:47 |
| Sypher | No. if you know then share. | 04:47 |
| weirdpercent | ActionParsnip: if you compare mint to ubuntu yes , ubuntu dwarfs the linux mint community | 04:48 |
| pdkl | Auckla: yeah, c++ sucks, ever since the mad meta programmers taken over, its been made into a damn mess | 04:48 |
| Sypher | i like Python for its simplicity. | 04:48 |
| Auckla | pdkl: Just took the cake. :) | 04:48 |
| ActionParsnip | weirdpercent: could install LXDE or XFCE and use your Gnome apps there and get the great support from the Ubuntu community :) | 04:48 |
| Sypher | but i do not program. | 04:48 |
| _r00t_ | weirdpercent: ubuntu has the biggest community so why is let down by poor quality builds / | 04:48 |
| Sypher | Toyota gave the linux foundation $100,000 | 04:49 |
| Sypher | very big help. | 04:49 |
| An-iSociaL | can anyone help with iptables? | 04:50 |
| An-iSociaL | i dont understand a single thing about it | 04:50 |
| An-iSociaL | i want to configure inside and outside | 04:50 |
| _r00t_ | An-iSociaL: shoot | 04:50 |
| urlin2u | _r00t_, can you name one thing in the world that any group is happy with? | 04:50 |
| ||||||||| | An-iSociaL, yes just use MoBlocker | 04:50 |
| An-iSociaL | "if network is not 10.1.10.0 and connection is incoming and port not equal to 80 then deny" | 04:50 |
| _r00t_ | urlin2u: pornhub :) | 04:50 |
| Sypher | What do you guys think about CentOS? | 04:50 |
| weirdpercent | ActionParsnip: I tried lubuntu, xubuntu, neither of those were right for me. linux mint's repositories can blend with ubuntu's without too much trouble | 04:51 |
| _r00t_ | Sypher: liek | 04:51 |
| urlin2u | _r00t_, that is an answer that shows thta it is not possible eh. :D | 04:51 |
| urlin2u | that* | 04:51 |
| _r00t_ | urlin2u: ;) | 04:51 |
| msqrdstr | hey all. i set a keybinding in metacity via gconf-editor to Ctrl-p, and later set it to something else. now Ctrl-p fails to do anything (e.g. doesn't open a print window in chrome, doesn't flip to the previous window in irssi). | 04:51 |
| ||||||||| | "Mintuntu" | 04:51 |
| msqrdstr | for the life of me, i can't figure out what to _un_set to make ctrl-p functional again. | 04:51 |
| msqrdstr | i have tried resetting others keys -- i've only changed the one keybinding -- and googling for default bindings... but no luck. | 04:52 |
| msqrdstr | any ideas? | 04:52 |
| ooph | Sypher: CEntOS 6 may be where I am headed to get out of Unity/Gnome3 hell. | 04:52 |
| An-iSociaL | MoBlocker | 04:53 |
| An-iSociaL | i have no such | 04:53 |
| _r00t_ | msqrdstr: what windows manager are you using ? | 04:53 |
| pdkl | ooph: try slackware | 04:53 |
| pdkl | its been here since day one almost | 04:53 |
| weirdpercent | Moboloquer | 04:53 |
| Sypher | slackware is very advanced. i am too noob for slackware at the moment. | 04:53 |
| ooph | yeah, i started hating slackware 14 years ago. | 04:53 |
| msqrdstr | _r00t_: default; gnome | 04:53 |
| _r00t_ | ooph: Come to pinguy OS you'll be warmly welcomed :) | 04:53 |
| szal | pdkl: Slackware has officially dropped Gnome support long time ago | 04:53 |
| pdkl | szal, yeah, made me happy. | 04:54 |
| _r00t_ | msqrdstr: do you have compiz running too ? | 04:54 |
| ooph | pdkl: I want to find something that will let me STOP fighting with my machine to do basic things :) | 04:54 |
| jiltdil | Sypher: ubuntu is also for beginners | 04:54 |
| Sypher | i use ubuntu. | 04:54 |
| weirdpercent | pinguy was pretty good | 04:54 |
| pnorman | Anyone know how I'd go about setting up a printer that prints to file on my server and sharing it to my windows machine? | 04:54 |
| ||||||||| | Moblocker is automatic, runs great, and looks *real* sharp. | 04:54 |
| pdkl | ooph: try a mac? | 04:54 |
| _r00t_ | jiltdil: ubuntu is also for very lazy sys admins like me | 04:54 |
| An-iSociaL | sigh | 04:54 |
| An-iSociaL | well atleast i feel better im not the only one who doesnt understand iptables | 04:55 |
| jiltdil | _r00t_ Right :) I bascially use fedora nd BT | 04:55 |
| An-iSociaL | tried webwin | 04:55 |
| ooph | pdkl: soory, no. I'm not scheduled for my lobotomy until end of next year... maybe at that point i'll reconsider. | 04:55 |
| An-iSociaL | its just as confusing | 04:55 |
| ||||||||| | i am only a good user of Ubuntu | 04:55 |
| ooph | webmin is awful | 04:55 |
| An-iSociaL | also tried fwbuilder | 04:55 |
| jiltdil | _r00t_ But using ubuntu is a fun | 04:55 |
| msqrdstr | _r00t_: i've never messed with my wm, so if it's running by default, yes; how can i check? | 04:55 |
| An-iSociaL | still dont get it | 04:55 |
| _r00t_ | An-iSociaL: what have you got so far ? - pastebin your iptables -L | 04:56 |
| An-iSociaL | where is the flag "incoming connection"? | 04:56 |
| An-iSociaL | i have nothing so far | 04:56 |
| weirdpercent | what about ailurus and ubuntutweak? | 04:56 |
| An-iSociaL | every time i add something its wrong and blocks all traffic | 04:56 |
| ooph | An-iSociaL: try using http://easyfwgen.morizot.net/gen/ | 04:56 |
| pdkl | ooph: i dont like unity either | 04:57 |
| Sypher | I have used Ubuntu for a long time and thinking of switching to CentOS just to try something new for a while. | 04:57 |
| _r00t_ | nice one ooph - now that is iptables for the lazy | 04:57 |
| ooph | An-iSociaL: It comments the heck out of what it's doing, making a secure start and making modificiation easier than trying to use the man pages and start from scratch | 04:57 |
| pdkl | Sypher: try slackware ;) | 04:57 |
| weirdpercent | There's Mobloquer, Firestarer, Gufw, all IPTables frontends | 04:57 |
| ||||||||| | I feel it should be Linux law that *all* programs be easily available as deb files. | 04:57 |
| ooph | modification* . bleh, my typoist needs slapped. | 04:58 |
| Geoffrey2 | I'm running ubuntu in command line on a laptop, I installed a usb multi-card reader, and lsusb shows it, how do I determine if it's mounted, or what I would need to mount in order to gain access to it? | 04:58 |
| jiltdil | <An-iSociaL> Study ufw from ubuntu documentation. It is better to study first | 04:58 |
| Sypher | is slackware for advanced linux users? | 04:58 |
| Sypher | i am not that advanced to be honest. | 04:58 |
| ooph | Sypher: no, slackware is for masochists | 04:58 |
| pdkl | dunno, its all basic to me | 04:58 |
| An-iSociaL | thanks ooph, im reading the output script | 04:58 |
| Sypher | lol | 04:58 |
| msqrdstr | anyone have a clue re: keybindings? | 04:58 |
| An-iSociaL | thats the backup plan jiltdil, i really just need to know what determines "incoming connection" | 04:58 |
| An-iSociaL | or "service" | 04:58 |
| An-iSociaL | or w./e | 04:58 |
| _r00t_ | ok guys .... name the best distro you've used which lasted you the longest .... Mines Redhat 6.2 zoot which is still running today | 04:59 |
| ||||||||| | If you goto the Moblocker page, and just copy and paste everything into thte terminal, it will work. I have no idea what I am copying and pasting. | 04:59 |
| pdkl | Sypher: you can always go on the web and read | 04:59 |
| ooph | _r00t_: I've been using Ubuntu for the last 4 years. | 04:59 |
| Sypher | I like ubuntu, works well and i never had a problem with it. and i learned many things using it. | 04:59 |
| Sypher | i did not know what a GUI truly was until i installed ubuntu. | 05:00 |
| Sypher | and CLI | 05:00 |
| ooph | i liked ubuntu... it worked well out of the box, and made my life easy in the "getting things to run" department. Unity changed all that, and made my life hell. | 05:00 |
| msqrdstr | _r00t_, have any ideas? | 05:00 |
| ooph | I'm currently running XP64 while looking for a new *nix distro | 05:00 |
| jiltdil | <An-iSociaL> Did u look at this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | 05:00 |
| _r00t_ | Sypher: PMSL ! so true ! | 05:00 |
| Sypher | when ubuntu 11.11 came out i switched to 10.04 lts and so far so good | 05:01 |
| Sypher | hope it remains this way | 05:01 |
| weirdpercent | Geoffrey2: There's a project called libusb | 05:01 |
| ||||||||| | For anyone interested in seeing a Linux broadcast, I have "Webcamstudio" running right now at Blogtv.com/people/analyzingfunny. Really nice program and I am currently broadcasting my desktop and this chat. | 05:01 |

| ||||||||| | yup | 05:01 |
| Sypher | i will check it out | 05:01 |
| ||||||||| | all green on black too! | 05:01 |
| jiltdil | Guys use ubuntu 11.10 and helps the community to fix bugs, report bugs. Don't switch back to previos versions | 05:02 |
| An-iSociaL | yea the how to is worse than the man page for iptables | 05:02 |
| weirdpercent | Geoffrey2: It's cross platform and you can use it to connect to just about any usb device | 05:02 |
| An-iSociaL | i just simply dont get it | 05:02 |
| _r00t_ | msqrdstr: sorry dude ... I was thinking along the lines of compiz bindings eg gconftool-2 --set /apps/compiz/plugins/scale/allscreens/options/initiate_all_k | 05:02 |
| _r00t_ | ey --type string Super_L | 05:02 |
| pdkl | ooph: it was really gnome 3 + unity. gnome 3 has been a disappointment | 05:02 |
| pdkl | but on the other hand | 05:02 |
| pdkl | xfce is lovely | 05:02 |
| ooph | ugh.... how can you read like that? too much transparency | 05:02 |
| _r00t_ | nawww my first ubuntu I used fluxbox on it and loved it | 05:02 |
| Sypher | unity is very heavy, on 10.04 i boot up at 130mb on UNity i was over 300 | 05:03 |
| jiltdil | Sypher: They are moving to more graphical so going heavy | 05:04 |
| An-iSociaL | well thanks atleast for making me feel better | 05:04 |
| Stanley00 | mine is over 1G now, and about 800MB before :)) | 05:04 |
| An-iSociaL | laters | 05:04 |
| ooph | Funny you should mention that... I swiched to Linux because Windows was getting too bloated... now Linux is just as bad... | 05:04 |
| Sypher | not exactly Ooph, have you heard of Bodhi Linux? | 05:04 |
| Sypher | it seems like your style. | 05:05 |
| Sypher | www.bodhilinux.com | 05:05 |
| Sypher | give it a look | 05:05 |
| ooph | their website is unreadable without javascript enabled - immediate fail. | 05:05 |

| Sypher | i tried it, and booted up at 80 mb | 05:05 |
| ubuntu | Hi guys, I'm on a dual boot system. Win 7 repair crushed grub in the boot sector. I'm currently running ubuntu on a live CD. Please help on how to get grub to recognize all my previous systems installed... thanks | 05:05 |
| _r00t_ | wow bodhi looks nice ... can you use compositing with it ? | 05:05 |
| Don_Rad | hi all, im using ubuntu 11.10 gnome shell on a dell inspiron 1545 laptop, i like to enable alt+tab key to switch windows and i think is disable on gnome shell, any idea to make it work? thanks :D | 05:06 |
| Sypher | yes root. | 05:06 |
| Sypher | u can | 05:06 |
| Sypher | super lightweight, but at the same time very stylish. | 05:06 |
| _r00t_ | Sypher: you got to be kidding me ? I thought enlightenment did like compiz | 05:07 |
| jiltdil | Wht not u guys prefer Arch Linux? | 05:07 |
| celltech | gnome 2d how do I get rid of this annoying slide side bar feature? or do I have to revert back to orniginal | 05:07 |
| _r00t_ | jiltdil: PMSL Arch linux is for snobs who THINK they know linux | 05:07 |

| ubottu | jiltdil: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 05:08 |
| ooph | ubuntu: you will need to reinstall grub. I recommend a lot of reading before playing with your bootsector. | 05:08 |
| starlon | Does the live CD happen to have an MBR repair utility? | 05:08 |
| ubuntu | ooph, I found this page. Please let me know if it makes sense http://ubuntuguide.net/how-to-restore-grub-2-after-reinstalling-windows-xpvistawin7 | 05:09 |
| Auckla | Wow I am on a 100mbit network. And I just trahsfered 28megs at like 350k's a second. | 05:09 |
| _r00t_ | starlon: you could try to do a grub-install from the livecd | 05:09 |
| Auckla | That is not right, via samba. Windows Seven to Ubuntu Linux. | 05:09 |
| starlon | _r00t_: k | 05:09 |
| ActionParsnip | starlon: sure, you can chroot from the liveCD and fix grub on the installed OS | 05:09 |
| ooph | ubuntu: what version of Ubuntu were you running before reinstalling Windows? | 05:09 |
| johnnyzero | ActionParsnip, there is clearly a large difference | 05:09 |

| johnnyzero | ActionParsnip, I googled it. Came up with nothing. | 05:13 |
| ooph | ActionParsnip: don't be a jerkwad, the whole point of linux is to be free and open. if ubuntu can't tolerate a little competition, then there's obviously something wrong with it, no? | 05:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Sypher: ask in #bodhilinux right here no freenode | 05:14 |
| okee | ok. I now have an error message indicating that the bootloader install failed, and I am being given some options: 1) continue without a bootloader, 2) cancel the installation, 3) chose a different device to install the bootloader on. What do I do? | 05:14 |

| ubuntu | ooph, did you get my message? | 05:14 |
| johnnyzero | ActionParsnip, At least we do know somewhat, the problem. In 11.10 there is an issue with how the devices are being found. The probing is faulty for some reason. | 05:14 |

| ActionParsnip | ooph: none of the ubuntu spinoffs are supported here, they have their own channels for support | 05:15 |

| ActionParsnip | johnnyzero: what you have is valuable though, maybe others can help but definately paste the text in your bug (not the pastebin link as they eventually expire) | 05:16 |
| ooph | ActionParsnip: I didn't say you needed to support it. Getting cheesed because someone mentioned a distro other than vanilla ubuntu indicates a problem with ubuntu. if you're paranoid about your distro's perceived issues, then your distro sucks. | 05:16 |
| johnnyzero | ActionParsnip, Understood. I was actually already told to "wait for a fix" though waiting for me is annoying. I am rather impatient. | 05:16 |
| johnnyzero | Though ok I will submit this to launchpad? | 05:16 |

| gr0uch | okee: try a different device to install boot loader | 05:19 |

| okee | Dr. Willis.> I am a first time installer. | 05:19 |
| ActionParsnip | johnnyzero: its probably the alsa stuff, or the kernel detecting the hardware | 05:19 |
| johnnyzero | Ahh understood | 05:19 |
| Aleo | try a different device yes | 05:19 |
| Sypher | ooph: Lol. | 05:19 |
| Aleo | if it fails cancel | 05:19 |
| okee | I don't know which device to install to. Win 7 came installed by default, and I am trying to dual boot. I was hoping to avoid damaging the Win 7 installation. | 05:20 |

| ooph | okee: be careful with adjusting partitions, but installing "side by side" should do what you want it to. | 05:20 |
| Sypher | there is an option at boot up to install along side with win7 | 05:20 |
| ActionParsnip | okee: I'd continue without, then boot to live CD and you can install the boot loader there, you could take the option to install the bootloader to a different drive (assuming yuo have more than one) | 05:20 |
| okee | Ubuntu's installer is a bit primitive. Sambayon and Gentoo allow you a sliding partition installer, so you don't have to worry about damaging something already installed. | 05:21 |
| ubuntu | okee, are you trying to install ubuntu alongside windows on same hard drive? | 05:22 |
| ooph | gentoo allows you to spend a full day on the installation process before getting to use your "optimized" system. I don't see the point in gaining a fraction of a percent of performance by spending hours and hours on any software install. | 05:22 |
| ooph | Sabayon was nice, a few years ago. Is it still around? | 05:22 |
| zmy_ | hello | 05:22 |

| Rrandy | Hello, thanks for any help in advance. I'm trying to use evolution to connect to my work 2010 exchange server - Is there a way to connect with activesync? | 05:23 |
| _r00t_ | OMG Rrandy ... buy a new phone ! | 05:24 |
| Aleo | by the way, any clue why the print screen only captures the background ? | 05:24 |
| ooph | Rrandy: exchange is actively hostile to non-microsoft clients. use OWA or skip the whole thing and pick a better email server. | 05:24 |
| ubuntu | ActionParsnip, would you kindly mind checking this http://paste.ubuntu.com/728805/ and let me know if this looks good to restore my grub configuration please? It was overwritten by windows' restore option by mistake. | 05:24 |
| Aleo | I used the printscreen key and the screenshot program both do the same | 05:24 |
| Rrandy | d'oh. My atrix connects just fine. I want desktop access too r00t. OWA is not working, and I don't have a choice of a different email server ooph. | 05:24 |
| johnnyzero | ActionParsnip, the bug has been submitted. Hopefully there is a fix for this. | 05:25 |
| Rrandy | Web access works well in mozilla for 2010, but I really prefer a client rather than a web browser. | 05:25 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntu: I'm not conversant with grub like that, sorry | 05:25 |
| ActionParsnip | johnnyzero: I think it will :) | 05:26 |
| ubuntu | okee, if you want more careful, download a free partition magic for windows at download.com such as easeus partition manager | 05:26 |
| Aleo | why partition magic if I can use the Windows 7 native disk management | 05:27 |

| okee | Will windows 7 native disk manager allow me to partition for Ubuntu Linux? | 05:32 |
| StepNjump | lol | 05:33 |
| ooph | ubuntu: because you're running from a livecd, and/or you didn't edit your preferences in your irc client? | 05:33 |
| melvincv | nixxofugi: can u post the output of 'sudo fdisk -l' | 05:33 |
| Aleo | okee: do the resize on partition, then maybe you have to shrink first | 05:34 |
| Aleo | than linux will format that new partition | 05:34 |
| Aleo | then | 05:34 |
| dr_willis | okee: it can resize and leave space unallocated for linux to use | 05:35 |
| Aleo | shrink and create a new one with disk manager, after point the linux installation to the new partition | 05:35 |

| ooph | ActionParsnip: i don't care if it's not being developed... there wasn't anything wrong with it to start with. This policy of "change it because it hasn't become drastically different recently" is what's tearing Ubuntu apart, and alienating the users. | 05:46 |
| ActionParsnip | ooph: Its affecting all gnome based distros, not just ubuntu. Think about it | 05:46 |
| _r00t_ | An-iSociaL: As I mentioned previously please post iptables -L to pastebin | 05:46 |
| ooph | An-iSociaL: source and destination (-s and -d) should be helpful parameters. | 05:46 |

| An-iSociaL | as i said there are no rules, because when i try to make one, all traffic dies | 05:48 |
| AndrewIRC | no one knows if unity will even touch it. | 05:48 |
| AndrewIRC | but, i doubt it. | 05:48 |
| AndrewIRC | all the negative feed back theyre getting now | 05:48 |
| _r00t_ | An-iSociaL: :/ | 05:48 |
| ooph | An-iSociaL: give us an example of a rule you want to make? | 05:48 |
| AndrewIRC | i dont think theyll bother | 05:48 |

| _r00t_ | brb restarting in E17 | 05:49 |

| ActionParsnip | ooph: xfce has 2 panels by default or dock, it also has the Apps / System menu stuff | 05:50 |
| An-iSociaL | basically services other than web are available only to the LAN | 05:50 |
| harsh343 | output is unknown instance | 05:51 |
| ooph | An-iSociaL: did you look at the firewall that gets built when you walk through all the steps at http://easyfwgen.morizot.net/gen ? | 05:51 |
| An-iSociaL | i tried... the script makes as little sense as iptables itself | 05:51 |
| Geoffrey2 | theres probably not much hope of Ubuntu 11.10 doing a proper startup with only a half gig of RAM, is there? | 05:51 |
| harsh343 | Stop unknown instance | 05:52 |
| harsh343 | is the output | 05:52 |
| ooph | An-iSociaL: try thinking of it as less of a script, and more of a sequence of commands. iptables is a program, and everything that follows it on the same line are parameters. | 05:52 |
| ActionParsnip | ooph: if you install xfce4-xfapplet-plugin you can run gnome panel applets in the XFCE panel | 05:52 |

| ooph | duplicate functionality? | 05:54 |
| ooph | i don't understand what you mean by that. Ubuntu 11.10 is not functional. | 05:55 |

| _r00t_ | Geoffrey2: why not turn the machine in to a thin client | 05:58 |

| ooph | SianaGearz: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11406188 indicates that this is an unknown issue, probably related to the Ubuntu devs congratulating themselves for Unity's success at removing intelligent Ubuntu users. The recommendation appears to be to turn your PC off. | 06:10 |
| eristikophiles | i'm not sure whether my error here is putting grub2 on sdb in the first place and not sda (windows drive), or whether i should leave some space in /dev/sdb itself prefixed to the partitions | 06:10 |

| eristikophiles | that ubuntu install was messed up, so i'm reinstalling.. only can't manage to boot at all now, after installing | 06:12 |
| eristikophiles | but i picked /dev/sdb as where grub goes | 06:12 |
| eristikophiles | or rather, where the "boot loader" goes according to the installer | 06:12 |
| ooph | eristikophiles: i would check your BIOS to see which drive your system considers to be primary. If the issue you are having is that your machine is not asking what OS to boot into, and simply going straight to Windows, then you want to install grub to your Windows drive. | 06:12 |
| eristikophiles | no, it doesn't go to windows either now | 06:13 |
| eristikophiles | it just fails to boot, goes into grub rescue mode | 06:13 |
| ooph | If Windows gets upset about that, you can boot from a Windows disk and use FDISK /FIXMBR to fix it. | 06:13 |
| lauratika | cant see cryptkeeper in unity ubuntu 11.10, did some one had any luck making it work? | 06:13 |
| ooph | hmm | 06:13 |
| ooph | if you're not getting it to boot at all, then you may need to double-check to see if your grub menu isn't getting its wires crossed. | 06:13 |
| eristikophiles | yeah that's what i thought might be it. i found a reference saying to be sure and change the linux line to add a / in front of the kernel name, because /boot and / are mounted as different partitions | 06:14 |
| eristikophiles | i feel like this may be related | 06:14 |
| ooph | i recommend a google search for "broken grub" and fixing your menu - then reinstall the bootloader to the correct disk. | 06:14 |
| pangolin | !grub | 06:15 |
| ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 06:15 |
| eristikophiles | i still haven't managed to mess with grub2 files directly.. kinda hard to find a decent doc online, each one assumes slightly different systems | 06:15 |
| ooph | pangolin and ubottu: thanks. | 06:15 |
| eristikophiles | yeah except i lost windows after installing ubuntu, so :) | 06:15 |
| ooph | ouch. | 06:15 |
| ooph | are you wanting to dual-boot? | 06:15 |
| eristikophiles | yeah | 06:16 |
| ooph | is windows actually gone, or it's just not booting any more? | 06:17 |
| eristikophiles | hm. it occurs to me: is there any decent way to r/w to an ext4 partition from windows? (it doesn't even *see* the ubuntu drive in windows!) | 06:17 |
| eristikophiles | ..no, it can't be messed up since i did nothing to that drive in the installer | 06:17 |
| eristikophiles | unless the installer lied or something :) | 06:17 |
| NiDoubleKi | Hi all | 06:18 |
| ooph | eristikophiles: there is a way to see ext* partitions in windows, but I don't trust Windows not to corrupt *itself*, nevermind a separate OS, so I never bothered to use that driver. besides, your issue appears to be with the boot sector, not with the data on the drive | 06:18 |

| harsh343 | how can i remove mysql from my ubuntu | 06:19 |
| harsh343 | ? | 06:19 |
| eristikophiles | no, i was just wondering about that. it's interesting for other reasons. | 06:19 |
| === TheCaptain007120 is now known as TheCaptain891203 | ||
| ooph | harsh343: apt-get uninstall mysql ? | 06:19 |
| eristikophiles | harsh343- run a package manager | 06:19 |
| ooph | eristikophiles: back to my original line of questioning: does windows boot, or no? | 06:19 |
| eristikophiles | synaptic, or whatever you have installed | 06:19 |
| eristikophiles | no, it doesn't | 06:20 |
| eristikophiles | only grub rescue | 06:20 |
| ooph | ok, so your system is completely non-functional at the moment. | 06:20 |
| ooph | correct? | 06:20 |
| eristikophiles | so i mean, it seems to have successfully done *something* in the install process lol | 06:20 |
| eristikophiles | yeah | 06:20 |
| eristikophiles | i'm assuming that the windows drive is the same, maybe the MBR messed up at most | 06:20 |
| harsh343 | ooph, E: Invalid operation uninstall | 06:20 |
| eristikophiles | try remove | 06:20 |
| eristikophiles | also sudo it | 06:21 |
| ooph | yeah, i may be too tired to be helpful any more. | 06:21 |
| harsh343 | eristikophiles, E: Unable to locate package mysql | 06:21 |
| eristikophiles | (this is why people asking like "how do i uninstall x" i tell, use synaptic. | 06:21 |
| eristikophiles | it's gui. easier | 06:21 |
| SianaGearz | ooph: the issue was perhaps kde specific and i don't have a full solution yet, but at least i can see what has been causing the symptoms. | 06:21 |
| eristikophiles | ok in that case the package name is like mysql##.##.## or something | 06:22 |
| ooph | now that i think of it, where is the ubuntu software center in the unity interface? | 06:22 |
| eristikophiles | just run a gui package manager instead :) | 06:22 |
| eristikophiles | harsh343- you have synaptic? | 06:22 |
| harsh343 | what is this eristikophiles | 06:22 |
| eristikophiles | hm. i'm assuming your gui works, but it's ubuntu.. so it probably does | 06:22 |
| harsh343 | ?? | 06:22 |
| eristikophiles | it's a program that manages your installed programs | 06:22 |
| eristikophiles | a gui wrapper for apt-get (the cli app) | 06:22 |
| ooph | harsh343: gksudo synaptic | 06:22 |
| harsh343 | boot manager ???? | 06:23 |
| llutz_ | eristikophiles: a frontend to apt, not apt-get (which also is just a frontend to apt) | 06:23 |
| eristikophiles | harsh343- ?? no, i'm the one having boot manager issues :) | 06:23 |
| eristikophiles | llutz_- ah, right. :) | 06:23 |
| harsh343 | ooph, what next ? | 06:24 |
| ooph | eristikophiles: to make sure i have your configuration properly in my mind: you have 2 physical disks; one is windows, the other is (attempting to be) Ubuntu. yes? | 06:24 |
| eristikophiles | SianaGearz- wait, you had an issue with the kubuntu livecd crashing during drive mounts? | 06:24 |
| ooph | harsh: search for "mysql" | 06:24 |
| eristikophiles | ..was it the CD or the DVD? | 06:24 |
| harsh343 | ooph, i m very much tired now from ubuntu now i think to go with windows again | 06:25 |
| === gci is now known as ganimede | ||
| eristikophiles | ooph- yeah | 06:25 |
| Geoffrey2 | can someone tell me if there's a command line option to force Ubuntu to redect the appropriate screen resolution? | 06:25 |
| harsh343 | ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) | 06:25 |
| harsh343 | I want to remove but not able to remove what the hell is this | 06:25 |
| ooph | if you didn't change anything in the BIOS, then you would want to install Ubuntu on the blank disk, then make sure grub gets put in the bootsector of the first disk - that's the one your system should be trying to boot from. | 06:25 |
| eristikophiles | harsh343- are you sure that nothing depends on mysql? | 06:26 |
| eristikophiles | that none of your other programs are using it? | 06:26 |
| harsh343 | apache2 of php myadmin may use i think so | 06:26 |
| harsh343 | or* | 06:26 |
| eristikophiles | uh, yeah | 06:26 |
| eristikophiles | it does | 06:26 |
| najamsa | harsh343: I think mysql.conf my default tries connecting to this socket. This can be overriden from cmdline or updating mysql.conf | 06:26 |
| eristikophiles | if you're running an XAMP stack, then it uses mysql most likely | 06:26 |
| ooph | harsh: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-server-73/cant-connect-to-local-mysql-server-through-socket-var-run-mysqld-mysqld-sock-753632/ | 06:26 |
| eristikophiles | XAMMP does | 06:26 |
| ooph | you're not running mysql, that's why it can't talk to it. | 06:27 |
| najamsa | its easy. I have done it, but sometime back... | 06:27 |
| eristikophiles | ooph- ok, i guess i'll go mess with BIOS a bit | 06:27 |
| eristikophiles | if that doesn't help back to messing with grub2 | 06:27 |
| urlin2u | eristikophiles, you ubuntu now? | 06:28 |
| urlin2u | in* | 06:28 |
| eristikophiles | this is another box | 06:28 |
| urlin2u | eristikophiles, you can boot ubuntu right? | 06:28 |
| eristikophiles | i was just using the liveDVD on that one | 06:28 |
| eristikophiles | no | 06:28 |
| SianaGearz | eristikophiles: yes, i have had ubuntu livecd unable to mount anything because it claimed the directories in the root filesystem weren't writeable. to crash it, a little bit more hand-pokery was needed, don't remember what. nothing evil anyway. | 06:28 |
| urlin2u | eristikophiles, reloading grub to the mbr is easy 2 commands you night use the bootscript to see if everything is in order though. | 06:29 |
| Geoffrey2 | it's booted, but the screen is only going about 60% across the monitor, I'm getting two copies of the desktop, one on top of the other, and the flicker is killing my eyes....any way to make Ubuntu redetect the correct monitor and video settings for this thing? | 06:29 |
| urlin2u | might* | 06:29 |
| SianaGearz | eristikophiles: ehr, Kubuntu, not ubuntu, and 11.10 specifically | 06:29 |
| ooph | Geoffrey2: try adding "nomodeset" to the boot line. | 06:30 |
| SianaGearz | eristikophiles: and oh it was a live-cd written to USB stick with unetbootin, so maybe it did something differently from what it does when booting from a CD (though that'd be silly) | 06:30 |
| eristikophiles | oh, nm SianaGearz .. i was having a similar issue with the kubuntu 11.10 liveCD but it had to do with the partition editor in the installer | 06:30 |
| eristikophiles | (kept crashing during any drive-related edits) | 06:31 |
| eristikophiles | the liveDVD didn't | 06:31 |
| SianaGearz | eristikophiles: ah yes exactly, parted crashed :) | 06:31 |
| eristikophiles | yeah, it sounded similar. i just d/led the DVD instead, that seemed to work | 06:31 |
| eristikophiles | it might be a bug in the disk image they have | 06:32 |
| SianaGearz | eristikophiles: well my decision over that was to ditch kubuntu and try Fedora for a change :) | 06:32 |
| SianaGearz | though only on one of my computers. | 06:32 |
| SianaGearz | eristikophiles: and oh there was another livecd bug, maybe related, unable to write in home directory. that'd crash dolphin in minutes. | 06:34 |
| Auckla | So to keep syslog from displaying to a terminal. Is that controlled via syslog.conf? | 06:35 |
| Auckla | Err echo'n. Mess me up while I"m working. | 06:35 |
| eristikophiles | SianaGearz- i didn't try that myself.. but ok | 06:37 |
| eristikophiles | well, BIOS sees both drives. it's actually kinda funny, since they're the same model, they have the same identifier number lol | 06:40 |
| eristikophiles | ooph- there doesn't seem to be any BIOS issues then i guess | 06:40 |
| eristikophiles | except for how ridiculously short a span of time you can press F2 on this box for at the start of boot (took me a few tries) | 06:41 |
| Auckla | eristikophiles: This rig is the same way. | 06:42 |
| edison__ | .... | 06:44 |
| eristikophiles | huh, just found another issue i might be having | 06:45 |
| eristikophiles | perhaps it's the UUIDs that's broken | 06:45 |
| eristikophiles | one forum post says that the UUIDs can change causing this issue, maybe that's what it is | 06:45 |
| eristikophiles | ;p so many ways it can break! lol | 06:45 |
| ooph | eristikophiles: i ran into that with 9.10 - not sure what caused it, but it did break things. the fix was to edit fstab to either reflect the new UUID or to not use UUIDs | 06:46 |
| Auckla | Hmmm, there is one command that will make my theme for joomla work. And I don't remember what it is anymore. And the IRC support sucks for them. :&*( | 06:47 |
| eristikophiles | yeah, apparently UUIDs aren't stable with liveCDs? or something? not sure how they'd change. i use a UUID in my fstab on this box for a specific external usb hd | 06:47 |
| llutz_ | eristikophiles: UUIDs only change when you create a new instance of a filesystem | 06:47 |
| eristikophiles | what do you mean by 'instance' here? | 06:48 |
| ooph | llutz_: there is/was a bug that caused them to change between installation and first boot of Ubuntu | 06:48 |
| llutz_ | eristikophiles: "reformat" | 06:48 |
| eristikophiles | oh i see | 06:48 |
| eristikophiles | hm | 06:48 |
| eristikophiles | i haven't reformatted that drive in a bit though. i repartitioned it in the liveCD with a partition editor, then installed over those same partitions in the installer with no edits (just typed in mount points) | 06:48 |
| harsh343 | I got an error like this what i can do ? harsh@harsh-3000:~$ mysql -u root -p | 06:53 |

| soidexe | Hi I upgraded my 11.04 to 11.10 and my gnome 2.32 desktop doesn't show System menu and I can't right click on panels also. What would you do to fix that? I can't use unity... | 06:59 |
| najamsa | harsh343: can you do netstat -a | grep mysql | 06:59 |
| === fred_ is now known as Guest4351 | ||
| ooph | jakes: apt-get install wine | 06:59 |
| FishFace | 11.04. Top panel is blank. Cannot add to it. Right click does nothing. What did I miss? | 06:59 |
| jakes | i have wine | 06:59 |
| dc5ala | soidexe, the system menu is under application -> other i think, to get context menu there hold alt | 06:59 |
| ksork | I'm following the instructions at http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download to create a bootable USB stick on a Mac. When step 9 finishes, I get a message saying that my USB stick is "not readable by this computer." Any help? | 07:00 |
| harsh343 | najamsa, my problem is not solve | 07:00 |
| ooph | soidexe: the apparently official answer is "reinstall 10.04 (LTS) and use that until it becomes unsupported; at that point, either choose a new distro, or sit and cry because Canonical has decided we're not allowed to choose what we do with our own machines. | 07:00 |
| najamsa | harsh343: can you run this and copy the o/p here: netstat -a | grep mysql | 07:01 |
| FishFace | soidexe: Hope you get it fixed. My right click on the panel also does nothing | 07:01 |
| pnorman | ksork: Reading the instructions it looks like that may be expected - did you try booting from it? | 07:01 |
| soidexe | ooph, I'll rather install debian in that case... | 07:01 |
| ooph | soidexe: moving to a different distro has "solved" that issue for a large number of users. | 07:01 |
| ksork | Yes. It the USB stick is not recognized as bootable. | 07:02 |
| harsh343 | najamsa, no any output | 07:02 |
| soidexe | FishFace, yeah, it works. but I can't get how to enable system menu | 07:02 |
| harsh343 | for this command | 07:02 |
| ooph | harsh343: that indicates that mysql is not running. did you install the server, or just the client? | 07:02 |
| FishFace | soidexe: The only useful thing I can find is the top right where you go to shut down. The gear. System Settings. Even that is minimal. | 07:03 |
| ooph | harsh343: sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start | 07:03 |

| harsh343 | sudo apt-get install mysql-server ooph i install this | 07:03 |
| ksork | pnorman: any suggestions? | 07:04 |
| Abhijit | jakes, mark it as executable and then double click or in terminal do wine file.exe | 07:04 |
| ooph | jakes: files ending in .exe are windows-specific files. I would suggest you google for "wine <your program's name here>" | 07:04 |
| pnorman | ksork: did you md5sum the .iso? | 07:04 |
| ooph | oh, yeah... marking it as executable can help ;) | 07:04 |
| soidexe | FishFace, is that gnome 2.32 settings or unity? | 07:04 |
| harsh343 | harsh@harsh-3000:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start | 07:04 |
| harsh343 | Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8) | 07:04 |

| harsh343 | Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an | 07:04 |

| eristikophiles | harsh343- i think your best bet is to use a gui package manager | 07:09 |
| ksork | pnorman: again, i apologize, but i'm not even familiar with the terminal, so i'm not sure what you're asking me to do. sorry... i was relying on the step-by-step instructions on the ubuntu website, which were working until step 9 finished | 07:09 |
| eristikophiles | if you're not comfortable with the command line, just go gui | 07:09 |
| harsh343 | E: Unable to locate package mysql | 07:09 |
| eristikophiles | that's why we're on ubuntu and not like, freebsd. we can do that :) | 07:09 |
| harsh343 | I am not able to remove and all | 07:09 |
| pnorman | ksork: Is doing a CD an option? | 07:09 |
| ooph | harsh343: did you add the * at the end? it's used as a wild-card, in this case. | 07:09 |
| harsh343 | no | 07:09 |
| ooph | try those commands again, but this time end them with mysql*\ | 07:10 |
| ooph | gah | 07:10 |
| ksork | pnorman: i don't have any with me, but if i can't figure out how to solve this problem, i guess i'll have to go buy some | 07:10 |
| ooph | mysql* | 07:10 |
| ooph | ksork: do you have access to a windows machine? i've found the USB storage device option to work better when creating your boot device in windows. | 07:11 |
| ksork | ooph: yes, i do. | 07:11 |
| ooph | ksork: try following the instructions for making a bootable usb drive via windows, see if it helps | 07:11 |
| ksork | ooph: will do. thanks! | 07:12 |
| harsh343 | ooph, what next ? i run this command | 07:12 |
| ooph | harsh343: you asked how to remove all of mysql. that should have done the trick. | 07:12 |
| ooph | to put it back, "sudo apt-get install mysql-server" | 07:13 |
| ooph | follow the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/mysql.html | 07:13 |
| ooph | they're a bit out of date, being for 8.04, but they shouldn't be inaccurate. | 07:14 |
| ooph | and i suspect you installed the client, but not the server, in the first place. the error messages you were receiving indicated that you were trying to access a service that didn't exist. | 07:15 |

| ubottu | zjo: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first). Also read !checkinstall | 07:18 |
| FishFace | soidexe: This is maddening. But I am trying something as a last effort. | 07:19 |
| ooph | zjo: try pulling the ubuntu tarball from http://www.math.pitt.edu/~bard/bardware/binary/latest/ | 07:19 |
| wildc4rd | I have noticed this PC slowing down a little lately, though I did blame Gnome3, is there any benefit to a clean reinstall, as this box has just been upgraded every release since Dapper Drake | 07:20 |
| soidexe | what system do you use? | 07:20 |
| soidexe | FishFace, what system do you use? | 07:20 |
| ooph | wildc4rd: not really. linux systems don't seem to acquire cruft in the same way that windows systems do. if it's your browsing that is slowing down, you might try emptying your cache files | 07:20 |
| zjo | ooph: How would I install that? | 07:21 |
| zjo | I'm a first time user. Installing stuff on linux is a damn pain. :( | 07:21 |
| ooph | zjo: follow the same instructions, but use http://www.math.pitt.edu/~bard/bardware/binary/latest/xppaut6.11-ubuntu.tgz as your .tgz file instead of the one you used the first time | 07:21 |
| FishFace | soidexe: Its 11.04 64 bit with a old vid card | 07:22 |
| maxus | well, thanx 4 response, but, what about apps installed, it can all works in LXDE ? or I need to install Apps 4 LXDE ? | 07:22 |
| ooph | and i'm currently on a windows box, so i don't know if xpp has an entry in the software center... but if it did, i would use that instead. | 07:22 |
| soidexe | FishFace, and 2.32.x gnome? | 07:22 |
| FishFace | soidexe: Well, that is what it says when I go to gnome-about. But I have tried booting two different options. 2D is what I have now. So, who knows? | 07:24 |
| ooph | FishFace: log out. on the bottom of the login screen (where you select your username and enter your password), there is an option to select your desktop. select "Ubuntu Classic" there, see if that helps. Also, do NOT upgrade to 11.10 if that fixes you. | 07:24 |
| ooph | "Ubuntu Classic" is not an option in 11.10 :P | 07:24 |
| FishFace | ooph: I'll give that a try. I looked for the classic and didnt see it. Might have missed it. Will try now. Ty again. | 07:24 |
| tdn | How do I set up the ubuntu iso to be served through dhcp/tftp so that clients can do a network boot of the iso and install via network? | 07:26 |
| ooph | tdn: google "LTSP" | 07:26 |
| ooph | or "BOOTP" | 07:27 |
| ooph | oooh... | 07:28 |
| ooph | tdn: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LocalNet | 07:28 |
| tdn | ooph, thanks. | 07:28 |
| ooph | LTSP + multi-head = 16 simultaneous users with only 5 PCs :D | 07:29 |
| ooph | ... and only one HDD | 07:29 |
| ooph | heh | 07:29 |
| FishFace | ooph: The only options for the login screen are Ubuntu, Ubuntu 2D and User Defined. | 07:30 |
| ooph | FishFace: hmm. you sure you haven't upgraded to 11.10? | 07:31 |
| FishFace | Hrmmmmmm | 07:31 |
| FishFace | Ya know what? Its been a while. I did :( | 07:31 |
| FishFace | So now I am beat I guess. No bottom panel. And the top one does nothing. | 07:32 |
| ooph | gnome-fallback may be helpful... but the best thing I have found so far is to install 10.04 so i have a usable system while I decide which distro to install from here. | 07:32 |
| ooph | centos6 still uses gnome2 | 07:33 |
| ooph | rock-solid, but it's rpm-based instead of deb-based | 07:33 |
| FishFace | I dred changing because of the dual boot with Win and taking a chance of creating another problem | 07:34 |
| ndrwc | Can anyone help me getting grub installed with either RAID or LVM? | 07:35 |
| ooph | FishFace: if you're currently dual-booting, then you shouldn't have any issues caused by dual-booting. if you have access to another hard drive, you might be able to instruct the BIOS which drive is the "primary" or "first" drive, and thus side-step the issue completely. | 07:36 |
| FishFace | ooph: When in a more brave mood I will give it a shot. | 07:37 |
| ooph | for instance, I have a machine that has windows on a RAID1 array, and Ubuntu didn't want to interact with it properly... so I installed another drive, and installed ubuntu to that one. admittedly, to switch back and forth i have to go in and change a BIOS setting, but it's worth it to not harf my windows install. | 07:37 |
| ksork | ooph: I created a bootable USB stick using a Windows machine and following the instructions on the Ubuntu website. However, by doing this, didn't I create a bootable USB stick that works with Windows, not Mac OS X? | 07:38 |
| eristikophiles | ooph- btw, i don't think i can do that (what you just said about BIOS) to my drives. they have the same identifier in BIOS, both are SATA. no jumpers, both apparently tied to the same booter | 07:38 |
| ooph | ksork: if you followed the instructions, you should have created a bootable device that works with UBUNTU. /grin | 07:39 |
| eristikophiles | ooph- does it matter if your hardware raid is turned off / not being used? | 07:39 |
| eristikophiles | this thing has built-in raid but it isn't being used | 07:39 |
| eristikophiles | seriously though, the prior ubuntu install was able to boot fine. ;p | 07:39 |
| eristikophiles | even if it didn't know what to do once it got there | 07:39 |
| bekks | ooph: Do you even have a real hardware raid controller or just some sort of fakeraid controller requiring windows drivers? | 07:39 |
| ksork | ooph: I created the bootable USB using the instructions for Windows. Was that correct to do? | 07:39 |
| ooph | eristikophiles: check serial numbers on the drives, that may give you an idea which is which (i'm assuming you have a "matched pair" of drives, there) | 07:40 |
| ooph | ksork: yes, if you followed the instructions, you should now have a USB stick that will boot Ubuntu. | 07:40 |
| eristikophiles | yeah i do | 07:40 |
| ksork | ooph: My Mac doesn't recognize it as a bootable disk. | 07:41 |
| eristikophiles | sadly, serials appear the same to the BIOS lol | 07:41 |
| eristikophiles | like i said, same identifier | 07:41 |
| ooph | bekks: it's a "real" raid controllwer, although it's integrated to my Gigabyte motherboard. | 07:41 |
| eristikophiles | ..i could switch by just pressing a key and assuming it worked though | 07:41 |
| eristikophiles | just have to be careful | 07:41 |
| bekks | ooph: So whoch mainboard is it exactly? | 07:41 |
| ooph | eristikophiles: better to remove the windows drive while installing linux | 07:41 |
| ooph | safer, anyway | 07:41 |
| ooph | bekks: sec, checking... | 07:41 |
| eristikophiles | that just sounds nuts | 07:41 |
| eristikophiles | i tried adjusting a setting in the 'grub' file | 07:42 |
| ooph | oops... correction: ASUS motherboard. M4A78LT-MLE | 07:42 |
| ooph | eristikophiles: if you want to make sure not to harsh your windows, is it more nuts to "make a change and hope", or to "pull a cable and know for sure that you won't be killing windows"? | 07:43 |
| ooph | bekks: did you get the designation? | 07:44 |
| ooph | bekks: and why did you want the info in the first place? | 07:44 |
| eristikophiles | i suppose that's true | 07:44 |
| eristikophiles | it's just kind of hard to get at the box | 07:44 |
| ksork | ooph: I appreciate your attempts to help me. I guess I'll try looking elsewhere online. If I can't find help (which I haven't been able to), I might just have to try burning a CD. | 07:44 |
| bekks | ooph: To verify wether it has a hardware raif controller or not. | 07:44 |
| eristikophiles | things in here are kind of hard to move around | 07:44 |
| ooph | yeah, there's a reason I buy a couple dozen thumbscrews for each machine I build :) | 07:45 |
| paranoid_ndroid | hi, where can I find help with gettext? | 07:45 |
| ooph | bekks: it has its own BIOS, which I used to create the array before this box ever saw an OS. | 07:45 |
| eristikophiles | i can open the case easily, but i would need to move the box a couple feet. that requires stretching several cables | 07:45 |
| bekks | And thats a very cheapo mainboard, it has no hardware raid controller. thats just a software raid controller. | 07:46 |
| pnorman | I have that motherboard (or one in the same line). It's fakeraid | 07:46 |
| ooph | the RAID controller is OS-agnostic. don't go getting all uber-geek high-and-mighty on me. | 07:46 |
| bekks | since you need windows drivers for it - thats a fakeraid controller. | 07:47 |
| pnorman | ooph: It requires special drivers to use. I know - I have it | 07:47 |
| ooph | hmm. now you're making me want to boot a few different LiveCDs to see if they can interact with it. | 07:48 |
| ooph | when i bought it, i was told the raid controller didn't care what OS was used. | 07:48 |
| maestrojed | I think I have a graphics card that is nice enough to require specific drivers. It is a EVGA GeForce 450GTS. When I run "Hardware Drivers" is says "no proprietary drivers are in use on this system. I download the drivers but its a .run file. I don't know what to do | 07:49 |
| bekks | ooph: Someone told you a lie then. | 07:49 |
| ooph | bekks: it happens. was there a point you were trying to make, or are you just being ad hominem for no good reason? | 07:49 |
| bloopletech | I'm trying to upgrade from natty to oneiric, I'm doing sudo do-release-upgrade but it's giving me the "An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade: E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks," error. when I grep the apt log for broken, there's no results | 07:49 |
| zjo | I'm getting sys/types.h: no such file or directory found after typing 'make' when trying to install www.math.pitt.edu/~bard/bardware/xppaut_latest.tar.gz. Any ideas? | 07:49 |
| ActionParsnip | maestrojed: run: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current | 07:50 |
| bekks | ooph: I am trying to make the point that you do not have a hardware raid controller. | 07:50 |
| bloopletech | zjo: do you have gcc etc. installed? | 07:50 |
| zjo | gcc? not sure. | 07:50 |
| bloopletech | sorry you obiously have make it's a silly question... one sec | 07:50 |
| ActionParsnip | maestrojed: you may want the xorg edgers updates ppa to get the 285 driver | 07:50 |
| ooph | bekks: and again, I ask what your point in attacking me is. that point is not valid for any discussion that is/was taking place. | 07:51 |
| bekks | ooph: I am sorry if you take that as an attack or insult. | 07:51 |
| bloopletech | zjo: try sudo apt-get install build-essential | 07:51 |
| ooph | was there a point to saying it, or was it just a chance to point your finger at me and chant "neener neener, you got suckered"? | 07:51 |
| bekks | ooph: Lets just stop this discussion in here, ok? | 07:52 |
| jtannenbaum | http://i.imgur.com/UuRKC.png any easy way to fix this? | 07:52 |
| ooph | bekks: good idea. try "/part #ubuntu" | 07:52 |
| zjo | bloop: I did that and still getting the same error. In file included from main.h:6:0, from main.c:1:/usr/include/X11/Xlib.h:38:21: fatal error: sys/types.h: no such file or directory. | 07:53 |

| gaodechen | Hi,everyone | 07:54 |
| gaodechen | i want to ask onr question | 07:54 |
| bloopletech | zjo: try reinstalling libc6-dev | 07:54 |
| gaodechen | hoe to install gtk+ | 07:54 |
| ActionParsnip | maestrojed: nvidia-current installs the 280 driver. You have quite a new chip which may need the 285 driver which is in a 3rd party repo. | 07:54 |
| KillaByte | i am trying to record my desktop with desktop recorder but when i select encode on the fly its way to fast and if i uncheck it it is pixeled | 07:55 |
| zjo | bloopletech: I'm a new user. I dont think I ever installed libc6-dev. How would I do that? | 07:55 |
| bloopletech | gaodechen: to do development with gtk, or what other reason? | 07:55 |
| maestrojed | ActionParsnip ahh, Ok. I will see what happens after this package comes down. If it doesn't work I will look into that | 07:55 |
| bloopletech | zjo: sudo apt-get install libc6-dev | 07:55 |
| ActionParsnip | jtannenbaum: what language are the filenames? | 07:55 |
| jtannenbaum | ActionParsnip: japanese I believe | 07:55 |
| bloopletech | zjo: rather sudo apt-get install --reinstall libc6-dev | 07:56 |
| KillaByte | anyone know a decent desktop recorder for ubuntu 11.10 | 07:56 |
| ActionParsnip | maestrojed: you'll need to reboot to enable the driver (easiest way) | 07:56 |
| maestrojed | ActionParsnip will do, thank you | 07:56 |
| bloopletech | jtannenbaum: where did you get the files from? were they correct before | 07:56 |
| jtannenbaum | from a zip file from a japanese band website | 07:57 |
| zjo | bloopletech: Same error :( .. I'm trying to install www.math.pitt.edu/~bard/bardware/xppaut_latest.tar.gz. | 07:57 |
| gaodechen | i want to write gtk program.and use glade.but glade3 does not match with gtk version | 07:57 |
| bloopletech | jtannenbaum: ah the filenames are most likely shift-jis encoded, you want to look for a | 07:57 |
| ActionParsnip | KillaByte: recordmydesktop or xvidcap | 07:57 |
| bloopletech | jtannenbaum: 'mp3 filename encoding fix tool' or somesuch | 07:57 |
| ActionParsnip | !info xvidcap | 07:57 |
| ubottu | xvidcap (source: xvidcap): Screen video capture for X. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1.1.7-0.2ubuntu12 (oneiric), package size 1145 kB, installed size 2808 kB | 07:57 |
| jtannenbaum | eh this band isn't good enough to warrant. thanks though | 07:58 |

| zjo | bloopletech: Thank you. | 07:58 |
| KillaByte | thanks actionparsnip | 07:59 |
| zjo | bloopletech: Does it matter what directory I'm in when I type 'sudo apt-get ... ' | 07:59 |
| Thelmaria | zjo: Nope. | 07:59 |
| gaodechen | i want to write gtk program.and use glade.but glade3 does not match with gtk version.who can help me?thanks | 07:59 |
| aguilat | i cant use wireless on a lenovo v460, rfkill shows acermodule loaded, any pointers? | 08:00 |
| pnorman | I want to compile a package from source by hand and then install another package that depends on the first one. Is there a way to make it use my version of the first package instead of getting it again? | 08:01 |
| ooph | gaodechen: unless you're wanting the plugin, febreeze might do the trick | 08:01 |
| ooph | sorry, couldn't resist. | 08:01 |
| gaodechen | One question:how to install gnome 11? | 08:02 |
| gaodechen | In ubuntu11 | 08:02 |
| ooph | gaodechen: use an earlier version of Ubuntu. Canonical decided we shouldn't have the option of using the old gnome, it doesn't fit with their policy of making us learn a new OS every 6 months. | 08:03 |
| gaodechen | oh,thanks very much | 08:04 |
| bloopletech | ooph: sorry, you're the same one who was attacking someone before for being ad hominem | 08:04 |
| bloopletech | make up your mind | 08:04 |
| zjo | bloopletech: Find anything? | 08:04 |
| bloopletech | zjo: I' trying to edit the makefile, will be a little bit | 08:05 |
| ooph | aguilat: http://askubuntu.com/questions/43529/my-lenovo-ideapad-u165-wireless-doesnt-work | 08:05 |
| ooph | aguilat: the problem is apparently the acer driver getting in the way, if i am reading this correctly | 08:05 |
| zjo | Oh okay thanks. I googled my issue and everyone is saying libc6-dev fixed their problem. Not mine unfortunately :( | 08:05 |
| ooph | aguilat: the comments (answers) on that page seem to have a solution | 08:06 |
| tapout | so unity != gnome shell 3 eh? | 08:06 |
| aguilat | ooph, thanks! will look into it now | 08:06 |
| ooph | unity = ubuntu-specific. gnome3/gnome-shell = platform-independent. | 08:06 |
| ooph | gnome2 = gone. ooph = sad. | 08:07 |
| Auckla | :*( | 08:07 |
| bloopletech | zjo: do sudo apt-get install g++-multilib, then run make again | 08:09 |
| bloopletech | i just tried it and it built successfully for me | 08:09 |
| zjo | bloopletech: Okay one second. | 08:11 |
| bloopletech | I've got the 'Resolve generated breaks,this may be caused by held packages' on upgrade natty => oneiric, but grepping the apt log shows no broken packages, what should I look at to try and fix it? | 08:11 |
| zjo | bloopletech: I got a bunch of scrolling warnings, then 'ld returned 1 exit status' | 08:12 |
| cirwin | hi, I'm looking to get myself a new SSD — and I'd like to find out what SATA version my chipset supports, what should I do? | 08:12 |
| tonyyarusso | cirwin: Google your motherboard. | 08:13 |
| metalforever | ^ | 08:13 |
| zjo | bloopletech: usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lX11 | 08:13 |
| zjo | that was the last line of all the warnings. | 08:13 |
| cirwin | tonyyarusso: ok, I'll try google — that seems like a boring answer :) | 08:13 |
| tonyyarusso | indeed | 08:14 |
| cirwin | I also noticed that disks don't show up in lspci, do they appear some place else? | 08:14 |
| bekks | disks never show up in lspci, they do in sudo fdisk -l | 08:14 |
| bloopletech | zjo: you also need to install the x11 dev libraries - you' | 08:15 |
| bloopletech | ll need to goole the package name | 08:15 |

| KillaByte | was trying to get desktop recorder to work but rather it was pixeled out or video plays to fast | 08:20 |
| KillaByte | thinking of going to ubuntu 10.04 | 08:20 |
| zjo | bloopletech: Did you find the correct package name? | 08:21 |
| ooph | KillaByte: Ubuntu 11.04 seems to be just as functional as 11.10, and you can select "Ubuntu Classic" as your desktop environment from the login screen. 10.04 is the LTS (Long Term Support) release, and is also a viable option. | 08:21 |
| ooph | 11.10, unfortunately, removed the ability to use "Ubuntu Classic" | 08:22 |
| huttan | Unity just take some gettin used to and it's pretty damn nice =) | 08:22 |
| KillaByte | ok last question i had win7 64 bit on here should i also install a 64 bit version of ubuntu being i have 4gb of ram? | 08:23 |
| llutz_ | KillaByte: yes | 08:23 |
| ooph | huttan: "it just takes some getting used to" was the reason I was able to convert many of my friends from Windows Vista/7 to Ubuntu in the first place. | 08:23 |

| metalforever | ooph: lol | 08:26 |
| metalforever | my problem with the distro is that it feels "slow" | 08:26 |

| scriptwarlock | do we need to rant here? | 08:28 |
| ooph | it was bad enough when they moved the buttons to the wrong (left) side of the windows... but that was "easily" fixable with gconf-edit. now they've broken a good thing, with no more reason than wanting to make a tablet OS. My PC is a PC, not a tablet, not a smartphone. I have a right mouse-button, I intend to be able to right-click. I don't want icons that are an inch and a half across on my | 08:28 |
| ooph | 23" 1080p display. | 08:28 |
| metalforever | did they figure that out yet? | 08:28 |
| * metalforever is using slack | 08:28 | |
| metalforever | >_> | 08:28 |
| bekks | metalforever: the amount of ram is more than enough if having 4GB. | 08:28 |
| metalforever | i cant deal with the new gnome | 08:28 |
| metalforever | then its just slow.. | 08:28 |
| metalforever | its not like I had a lot installed, just the usual | 08:29 |
| scriptwarlock | we can talk/rant a lot in ubuntu-offtopic | 08:29 |
| ooph | scriptwarlock: yes, we need to rant here. we need to rant on every forum, in every channel, and everywhere we think we can get Canonical's attention. they're losing users in droves because they decided they knew better than their users what their users want to do. | 08:29 |

| ooph | I'm about to switch to CEntOS 6 because it's the only distro I can find that still uses Gnome2. Apparently, CEntOS cares more about being "rock-solid stable" than about being "the latest flavor-of-the-week". | 08:32 |

| ooph | huttan: try putting gnome2 back on ubuntu 11.10. let me know if you succeed. this is not sarcasm. | 08:33 |
| HulkHogan | ooph: why not just use 10.10 | 08:33 |
| strix_ | zjo: try sudo apt-get install libx11-dev | 08:34 |
| ooph | HulkHogan: because I want to know that my distro is supported? | 08:34 |
| huttan | 10.10 is LTS... | 08:35 |
| tonyyarusso | huttan: No it's not - 10.04 is | 08:35 |
| llutz_ | huttan: it's not, 10.04 is | 08:35 |
| huttan | thats right, sorry =( | 08:35 |
| HulkHogan | ooph: well 10.04 then it got another year of support | 08:35 |

| vooze | Is it just me or is the gnome-shell in ubuntu 11.10 really bad? I used gnome-shell in Archlinux without bugs or anyyhing.. but it keeps crashing in ubuntu, filezilla drag n' drop etc. dont work.. Is it really that buggy or just me ?: ( | 08:36 |
| ooph | HulkHogan: maybe you should join us in #ubuntu-offtopic | 08:37 |
| eristikophiles | ok, here's perhaps an odd question. how do i invoke grub-mkconfig from a liveDVD to run based on values not in the /etc/default/grub of the liveDVD's /etc but from a mounted other /etc on the actual hard disk? | 08:38 |

| eristikophiles | you know i've used KDE for like, 6 years now, and i never really sank the concept of ctrl-alt-F# into my head? | 08:48 |
| bekks | zjo: line 208 | 08:48 |
| eristikophiles | i knew you could get into terminals that way, but i never figured out how to get back to the gui | 08:48 |
| eristikophiles | i just searched and found it | 08:48 |
| eristikophiles | ..strange | 08:48 |
| llutz_ | eristikophiles: alt-f7 | 08:48 |
| zjo | bekks: How do I fix that? | 08:49 |
| HulkHogan | eristikophiles: not sure what ur talking about | 08:49 |
| eristikophiles | llutz_- yeah i just saw | 08:49 |
| llutz_ | eristikophiles: and that has nothing to do with the DE/WM you use | 08:49 |
| eristikophiles | it's amazing. i'm wondering why i run terminals in gui now lol | 08:49 |
| eristikophiles | though i guess, i can still see my clocks and stuff when i do | 08:49 |
| eristikophiles | hm. i think when i started using kde, this feature broke my box at the time. | 08:50 |
| eristikophiles | must be why i forgot about it | 08:50 |
| eristikophiles | llutz_- really? it's kernel-specific? | 08:50 |
| ooph | eristikophiles: yakuake for KDE, Guake for Gnome. one-button access to toggle the terminal | 08:50 |
| ooph | GUI-mode only, of course. | 08:51 |
| metalforever | i just put a terminal button on my gnome 2 panel. | 08:51 |
| HulkHogan | tty screen? | 08:51 |
| llutz_ | eristikophiles: X starts on the 1st console not occupied by a tty. for some historical reasons, most distros run 6 tty, so X runs on 7 | 08:51 |
| ooph | metalforever: why use the mouse to open an app you're going to be using secifically with the keyboard? | 08:51 |
| bekks | zjo: Try installing libx11-dev | 08:51 |
| ooph | F12, type, enter, F12, terminal slides back up into the top of the screen... | 08:52 |
| * metalforever uses slack | 08:52 | |
| metalforever | so.. | 08:52 |
| metalforever | If i want command line only. | 08:52 |
| metalforever | i just dont start x. | 08:52 |
| metalforever | simple as | 08:52 |
| zjo | bekks: I've already done that. Any other suggestions? | 08:52 |
| eristikophiles | llutz_- i was just reading xorg docs.. i realized it must be there.. also know why on bsd it didn't let me get back: bsd uses all 12 f-keys | 08:53 |
| llutz_ | eristikophiles "ls -l /etc/init/tty*" disable tty6.conf and restart. your X will start on tty6 then | 08:53 |
| eristikophiles | so there's not one to press to get back lol | 08:53 |
| bekks | zjo: Did you install libX11-dev, too? Caution, xaps are intended. | 08:53 |
| === Leao is now known as Qualia | ||
| eristikophiles | llutz_- i see now. cool | 08:54 |
| ooph | metalforever: well yeah, but that's like stepping back into the dark ages of DOS 5.0/Windows 3.0 - boot, play around on the command line, then type "win" or "startx" and get your GUI on. | 08:55 |
| eristikophiles | still, i also see now why i didn't learn that trick 6 years ago- freebsd uses all of F1 to F12 for tty so there was no f-key leftover to press to get back | 08:55 |
| zjo | bekks: yes. | 08:55 |

| HulkHogan | F1-F6 = tty, F7-F12 = gui | 08:56 |
| eristikophiles | huh. on the liveDVD, f7 is just blank. f8 is needed to get back | 08:59 |
| eristikophiles | ..and on this box, f8+ are blank | 09:00 |
| eristikophiles | ..and i do recall trying in freebsd. all 12 were cli terminals | 09:00 |

| frogoscar | #linuxembedded | 09:06 |
| eristikophiles | man grub-probe doesn't help. i mean, i get how grub-probe works now, but i don't suppose i can get grub-mkconfig do what i want so easily | 09:06 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | eristikophiles: sudo mount --bind /mnt/dev/ /dev/ or where ever | 09:06 |
| frogoscar | #linuxembedded | 09:06 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | i'm better at cli than I am with gui lol | 09:06 |
| eristikophiles | hm. so i use --bind to remap the hd's partitions for / and /boot over where the liveDVD thinks they are? then i can just run grub-mkconfig as i please? | 09:07 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | eristikophiles: you mount it with the --bind flag and mount your dev off your harddrive to your dev in your live environment | 09:07 |
| eristikophiles | hm wait. i can't unmount /boot though can i? | 09:07 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | eristikophiles: yeah | 09:07 |

| Us3r_Unfriendly | luca: what's the problem? | 09:10 |
| Ycarene | us3r_unfriendly - Well, I had apache for testing purposes and even after uninstalling it, it somehow starts on boot. I know it has to do with /etc/default and /etc/init but I can't really figure it out as its so different than using runlevels. | 09:10 |
| luca | it doesn't work | 09:10 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Ycarene: so "sudo service apache stop" ,does this work?? | 09:10 |
| luca | I am on youdem tv | 09:10 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | luca: sorry i don't know what that is | 09:11 |
| ooph | Ycarene: i *think* you can get to "Startup Programs" via the "system control" menu under your name on the top-right, but I'm not certain that's where Canonical moved it to when they decided we all needed "PlaySchool's My first Tablet" on our desktop PCs. | 09:11 |
| luca | it is the television of Partito Democratico | 09:11 |
| eristikophiles | huh, seems to have worked | 09:11 |
| Ycarene | ooph - that's more for sessions I think. | 09:11 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | eristikophiles: thanks for your thanks i guess | 09:11 |
| eristikophiles | time to reboot | 09:11 |

| eristikophiles | Us3r_Unfriendly- if it does work, i will thank you formally :) | 09:12 |
| Ycarene | us3r_unfriendly - that works, but how do I get it so I don't have to do that after rebooting. (had to use apache2) | 09:12 |

| HulkHogan | zjo: probally an old version or a new one, best if u symlink it to an existing file | 09:13 |

| eristikophiles | nope. grub rescue is all that boots ;p | 09:13 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Ycarene: this should work for the /etc/ part: sudo find /etc/ -iname "*apache*" -exec rm -frv {} \; | 09:13 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Ycarene: try that | 09:13 |

| HulkHogan | zjo: so u can fix that by using symlink | 09:20 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Ycarene: I agree with lluts by not removing files from /etc/, but apache is the exception. BUT in this case I would rather have you install: "bum"...lluts: do you agree this would be a good solution?? | 09:21 |
| zjo | HulkHogan: I'm a first day user of Ubuntu / Linux, no Idea what that means. | 09:21 |
| llutz_ | Us3r_Unfriendly: i don't since i don't know what "bum" is | 09:21 |

| Us3r_Unfriendly | Ycarene: which one? | 09:23 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Ycarene: avahi? | 09:23 |
| HulkHogan | zjo: what program is this for | 09:23 |
| Ycarene | us3r_unfriendly - yes | 09:23 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Avahi is a free zeroconf implementation, including a system for multicast DNS/DNS-SD service discovery. It is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License | 09:23 |
| llutz_ | Us3r_Unfriendly: i'd prefer sysv-rc-conf but anyways. use whatever works for you. upstart still lacks tools/documentation | 09:23 |
| Ycarene | us3r-unfriendly - or zeitgeist | 09:23 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Ycarene: ? | 09:25 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Ycarene: I'd keep it running | 09:25 |
| DigitalNinja | the setting in fstab allow me to set group? | 09:25 |
| Ycarene | us3r_unfriendly - yes, avahi, zeitgeist, some others, can I uninstall them? | 09:25 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Ycarene: I'd do some google-ing before removing certain services. Might turn you might need these and some you don't | 09:26 |
| llutz_ | DigitalNinja: you use chown/chmod/chgrp if you don't have user-squash enabled on your nfs-server | 09:26 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | llutz_: i think that might be my problem | 09:27 |
| Ycarene | us3r_unfriendly - removed avahi, zeitgeist and tracker. | 09:27 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Ycarene: okay from synaptic or from bum???? | 09:27 |
| Ycarene | synaptic | 09:27 |
| eristikophiles | ok no, i didn't have the command option enabled. it's commented out | 09:28 |
| eristikophiles | ;p | 09:28 |
| Ycarene | us3r_unfriendly - synaptic | 09:28 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Ycarene: i would have used bum, that way you could re-enable it if you need it | 09:28 |
| llutz_ | DigitalNinja: if your group "dev" on client needs write-permission, the group has to have writeaccess on server. if the groups are identical on both systems, you have to map them. have fun... | 09:28 |
| Ycarene | us3r_unfriendly - I didn't see anything that would be explicitly broken by removing them, so they're gone. | 09:28 |

| DigitalNinja | our users and groups are identical, ah kk i was trying to do it on the client...pretty sure i have made this exact mistake 20 times now | 09:29 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Ycarene: that's like removing all kernel files in your machine and then rebooting to find out you have a problem | 09:30 |
| Ycarene | us3r_unfriendly - I don't see what, avahi seemed to be for automatic network discovery, which I don't use, zeitgeist is a logger which didn't seem relevant and tracker was a dependency of unity which I'm not using either. | 09:30 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Ycarene: cool, like i said, some people might need it and some might not | 09:31 |
| Ycarene | We'll see on the reboot I guess | 09:31 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | eristikophiles: is it cool if i private message you to work on your problem?? | 09:31 |
| llutz_ | Ycarene: if those packages were really needed, you couldn't just remove them. so either you're fine now without them, or the packages are heavily broken if something won't run after reboot | 09:32 |
| eristikophiles | yeah sure | 09:32 |
| Ycarene | llutz_ - Nothing of note was removed, parts of unity(I run xfce) and it re-installed wine, that was it. | 09:33 |
| llutz_ | Ycarene: so you should be fine. avahi etc are useless in most cases imho | 09:34 |

Despite keytouch editor recognizes the keys on the fly and its natural features, some keys captured codes identify codes different from those associated with the same keys captured by xev. The system then, when you press these buttons, instead of using | 09:43 |
| cristian_c | the keytouch codes, enables the xev codes, and thus the keytouch configuration is wrong and these keys do not work. Then the problem is as follows: disabling xev into the system and replacing it with keytouch or other alternative software. I was told that it should be necessary to work with udev. What I am asking you is: what should I touch? | 09:43 |
| cristian_c | I searched long and hard on google about how to disable xev, but I found nothing :( | 09:44 |
| bekks | cristian_c: xev is just an app. Stop it, and it isnt there :) | 09:45 |
| cristian_c | bekks, thanks for the answer :) | 09:45 |
| cristian_c | bekks, how can I stop xev? | 09:46 |
| llutz_ | chitragupt: xev just shows you x-events. it does not affect them/change them | 09:47 |
| llutz_ | cristian_c: ^^ | 09:47 |
| Ycarene | Everything seems fine here. | 09:48 |
| eristikophiles | you have been eaten by a grue | 09:48 |
| cristian_c | llutz_, So what should I disable? | 09:48 |
| eristikophiles | (just when everything seems fine..) | 09:48 |
| Ycarene | This might be outside the scope of this channel, but I've got issues with ipv6, it takes forever to make a connection, though once connected, seems to run fine. | 09:48 |

| soreau | koshieFinalReliz: Have you tried xrandr? | 09:57 |
| aaa_ | koshieFinalReliz, yes, the file is listed when i use dir | 09:58 |
| koshieFinalReliz | On GNOME 2-3 (Untiy / GNOME-SHELL) / KDE 4 that work well | 09:58 |

| koshieFinalReliz | soreau, There is no graphical interface ? | 09:58 |

| aaa_ | the command to list files from windows seams to work here too... | 09:58 |
| koshieFinalReliz | er | 09:58 |

| soreau | koshieFinalReliz: I don't know about for xfce but xrandr is a sure fire method. Otherwise, you could configure xorg.conf | 09:58 |

| koshieFinalReliz | aaa_, ok, do you have the script ? | 09:59 |
| koshieFinalReliz | soreau, grmph, I will try that again, thank you :p | 09:59 |

| koshieFinalReliz | peterdawson, you're new so ? | 10:01 |

| ooph | many of them coincide with having a bot on an IRC channel, to be honest. | 11:13 |

| NixGeek | ooph: I already explained this to root, it will STAY in the music channel, and JUST play music | 11:13 |
| ooph | perhaps #vlc or #teamspeak would be better places? | 11:13 |
| ooph | ohhhh. | 11:14 |
| NixGeek | And it is because I want to route music on our server, without a sound card, from VLC to teamspeak | 11:14 |
| _r00t_ | NixGeek: and google can't tell you this ? | 11:14 |

| _r00t_ | NixGeek: you have week google fu - look again | 11:15 |
| brontosaurusrex | NixGeek, maybe there is some sort of virtual audio hardware for ubuntu that you can use, other way would be to run everything virtualized (like in virtualbox) or the the teamspeak api | 11:15 |
| Daghdha | mixgeek: perhaps a vmachine with virtual soundcard would be a solution | 11:15 |
| _r00t_ | NixGeek: the answers are out there.... I didn't get my problems solved from this channel | 11:16 |
| szal | _r00t_: which is the exact reason why pointing people to Google is discouraged in this channel | 11:16 |
| NixGeek | brontosaurusrex: I've tried looking for an ubuntu virtualaudio cable but haven't really found much... | 11:16 |
| szal | at least without a hint as to what to look for, that is | 11:16 |

| Sidewinder1 | Nick recognition fail; @ szal. ;-) | 11:18 |
| Dave-Maydew | So, is this a bug in 11.10 for nVidia cards or just some freak bug a few Ubuntu users have found? | 11:18 |
| szal | Sidewinder1: no, tab completion fail ;) | 11:18 |
| NixGeek | ooph: I really have to ask, is this an ubuntu support channel or a windows support channel? Did you even READ IT! I've looked at that exact page before | 11:18 |
| szal | Dave-Maydew: define 'this' | 11:18 |
| Sidewinder1 | szal, A poor workman always blames his/her tools. :D | 11:18 |

| _r00t_ | allu2: if the community is great - let me troll - let me enjoy my time | 11:20 |
| Dave-Maydew | on both LiveCD and upgrade to 11.10 the desktop is total grey and where the terrible thing called unity is supposed to be, it's a cut out, and I cannot see anything on the desktop at all | 11:20 |
| _r00t_ | lol | 11:20 |
| allu2 | _r00t_: :P like going to your work for vacation? :P | 11:20 |
| Dave-Maydew | and I'm apparently not the only one that has this issue | 11:20 |
| NixGeek | ooph: Okay, I think I'll leave no, no one is being even slighly helpful. | 11:20 |
| allu2 | missed it :( | 11:20 |
| allu2 | anyone need help? | 11:20 |
| odedkarp | I upgraded my ubuntu to 11.10 and my vba express gone mad | 11:21 |
| Dave-Maydew | Yeah I would like to get Ubuntu 11.10 to work with the Nvidia drivers | 11:21 |
| Dave-Maydew | but it's not having it | 11:21 |
| odedkarp | I upgraded my ubuntu to 11.10 and my vba express graphic gone mad | 11:22 |
| szal | Dave-Maydew: is that using the nouveau driver? if so, try the proprietary driver -> sudo apt-get install nvidia-173 && sudo nvidia-xconfig <- then reboot.. but honestly I don't have too much hope for that w/ your gfx card; the 173 driver required for the GeForce FX series has a shader bug that e.g. causes the screen on KDE to stay black with desktop effects enabled | 11:22 |
| Dave-Maydew | tried it | 11:22 |
| ooph | Nixgeek: http://forum.teamspeak.com/showthread.php/54646-Music-Bot-on-Linux-Dedi-V-Server-available | 11:22 |

| === Caveman_ is now known as Caveman | ||
| allu2 | ooph: they so often are :( | 11:23 |
| szal | Dave-Maydew: and that bug is nothing the *buntu devs can do anything about, you'd have to poke nVidia to have that fixed, and they're unlikely to do that unless that involves a security risk | 11:23 |
| odedkarp | I upgraded my ubuntu to 11.10 and my vba express graphic gone mad | 11:23 |
| Thelmaria | !repeat | odedkarp | 11:23 |

| szal | Dave-Maydew: because the FX series is classified as legacy | 11:23 |
| Dave-Maydew | so when you mean legacy?? | 11:24 |
| szal | odedkarp: how about providing some details? | 11:24 |
| Dave-Maydew | do I download the driver from Nvidia? | 11:24 |
| Dave-Maydew | or throw my only Desktop in the bin or go back to Winblow? | 11:24 |
| allu2 | Dave-Maydew: am i missing something or doesn't jockey-gtk work? | 11:25 |
| szal | Dave-Maydew: the proprietary nVidia driver is in the standard installation sources; I told you the name | 11:25 |
| Dave-Maydew | nope, I see nothing other than a grey screen and a cut out where Unity is supposed to be | 11:25 |
| szal | Dave-Maydew: if you want better performance, upgrade your graphics card to a GF6 or newer | 11:25 |
| allu2 | Dave-Maydew: what kind of card you have?, unity doesn't work? how about unity 2d? | 11:26 |
| Dave-Maydew | I can't upgrade the GFX Card, it's a All-In-One Sony Vaio VGC-V2M | 11:26 |
| szal | Dave-Maydew: then you're s*** out of luck | 11:26 |
| ooph | Dave-Maydew: try adding nomodeset to the boot line. gimme a sec, i'll find you a tutorial | 11:26 |
| szal | ooph: that won't fix anything | 11:26 |
| tdn | Where do I get the ubuntu netboot image? | 11:27 |
| tdn | Install via PXE boot. | 11:27 |
| allu2 | szal: i got image he doesn't even have working desktop now | 11:27 |
| allu2 | szal: nomodeset can fix that and ease up fixing things | 11:27 |
| szal | allu2: he doesn't have a working Unity, but, as I understand it, can see graphics | 11:27 |
| ooph | szal: if you aren't using the accelerated graphics drivers, then you won't encounter the "black box" bug, eh? | 11:28 |
| Dave-Maydew | I can see something | 11:28 |
| allu2 | Dave-Maydew: you tried installing drivers via the GUI tool jockey-gtk | 11:28 |
| Dave-Maydew | can't see anything on the grey screen | 11:29 |
| szal | ooph: I suppose so, on my other machine I just disabled desktop effects in KDE | 11:29 |
| ooph | Dave-Maydew: try http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11398153 for a permanent solution, if my next sentence resolves your issue | 11:29 |
| allu2 | Dave-Maydew: so i would go with the nomodeset thingy | 11:29 |
| ooph | boot from the livecd and press F6. select the "nomodeset" option | 11:30 |
| ooph | alternatively... | 11:30 |
| ooph | at the grub prompt, press "e"... then add "nomodeset" to the line that starts with "linux /boot/vmlinuz..." | 11:31 |
| ooph | press ctrl-X to boot | 11:31 |
| Dave-Maydew | so nomodeset how to I set it? | 11:31 |
| szal | ooph: on the live CD you can select 'nomodeset' by ticking a box (w/ the space bar) | 11:31 |
| ooph | zomg. i just told you. | 11:32 |

| Dave-Maydew | I shall give it a try this afternoon, and keep fingers crossed | 11:33 |
| ooph | good luck, dave | 11:33 |

| sram | BluesKaj, nope, I thought the running dhclient needed the modprobe command to succeed | 13:37 |
| BluesKaj | sram, run it anyway | 13:38 |
| ooph | m4k: if you want to add your own web pages, they will need to be in /var/www | 13:38 |
| BluesKaj | sram, without the modprobe command | 13:39 |
| sram | BluesKaj, says "cannot find device "wlan0"" | 13:39 |
| dokg | hi I just installed Ubuntu, can anyone tell me how to open a console to enter commands ? | 13:39 |
| ooph | m4k: if you need more configuration help than that, you might want to try http://lmgtfy.com/?q=ubuntu+apache+configuration | 13:40 |

| zoLevDotCom | hi! | 13:49 |
| ooph | to clarify: szal, you told the bot to tell me not to repeat myself, when the user requesting information ignored my perfectly valid answer. your bot request generated additional traffic in the channel, thus increasing the likelyhood that the user would not be able to see my response. you not only generated extra traffic, but told the bot that i was asking a question repeatedly, rather than | 13:51 |
| ooph | asking me not to repeat my *answer*. bad user, no cookie. | 13:51 |

| ooph | as another alternative, Yakuake and Guake are awesome drop-down terminals tied to F12 - although you'll need to install them with "sudo apt-get install guake" or "sudo apt-get install yakuake" | 14:02 |

| procrastuabtor | Guys so I think I messed up my hard drive somehow. I reinstalled 10.10 because I was always seeing "Networking Disabled" from the boot os though a live usb was able to see wireless networks properly. Ran the Live USB, went to Disk Util and formatted my hard drive clean. Tried to reinstall Ubuntu 10.10 and Fedora 10 but they both failed. Both installations hanged at the same place: Examining Stroage Devices | 15:14 |

For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 15:52 |

| Jordan_U | kevin_takeshi: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME3 by default, it just doesn't use GNOME shell, or GNOME2 like pannels, by default. I wouldn't expect Unity to use more power than GNOME shell and if you have good graphics drivers then it probably is on par with plain panels as well, though that's just a guess. | 15:59 |
| hrolf | How can I view what is the name of my wireless driver? | 15:59 |
| jasef | Lokesh, if you want to know if a name is registered, you can just type /ns info namehere | 15:59 |
| Lokesh | hrolf google it | 15:59 |

| HashNuke | hey guys, how do i check the log to see if one of my init scripts has failed? | 16:01 |
| badr | salut | 16:01 |
| jasef | Lokesh, it's kind of inconsiderate when you're being helped here, then you go and tell someone else to google instead of getting help here too. | 16:01 |
| jasef | Lokesh, most people have googled before they come here anyway. | 16:01 |
| remote | hello | 16:01 |
| HashNuke | is there any log file where i can find the boot stuff? | 16:01 |
| remote | recently my mother upgraded her ubuntu laptop and it broke the X installation | 16:01 |
| meadhikari | dmesg | 16:01 |
| Jordan_U | kevin_takeshi: A graphics driver is not a physical device, it's the code used to handle your graphics hardware (which, if your netbook has a screen, does exist). | 16:01 |
| Lokesh | jasef my sincere apologies, i am new to this place and hence i have said that sorry! | 16:02 |
| remote | "Stopping System V runlevel compatibility" | 16:02 |
| meadhikari | HashNuke, r u searching for dmesg? | 16:02 |
| Lokesh | HashNuke im guessing you can write --debug-init | 16:02 |
| bekks | meadhikari: dmesg doesnt list any errors from booting, but just from the kernel ring buffer. | 16:02 |

| jasef | Eh... I'm sleepy. | 16:02 |
| jasef | I'll help more tomorrow. | 16:02 |
| Lokesh | slike wat do u mean? | 16:02 |
| Jordan_U | !u | Lokesh | 16:03 |
| ubottu | Lokesh: U is the 21st letter of the modern latin alphabet. Neither 'U' nor 'Ur' are words in the English language. Neither are 'R', 'Y', 'l8', 'ryt', 'Ne1' nor 'Bcuz'. Mangled English is hard for non-native English speakers. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/abbreviations/ for more information. | 16:03 |
| Qualia | When browsing files, if i type something to select a file/folder to access it faster, how do i delete what i typed when i enter in that folder and wanna do the same thing again | 16:03 |
| Lokesh | ok I will not use "u" | 16:03 |
| remote | what a hunk of **** | 16:03 |
| HashNuke | bekks: ya thats what i need. whatever happened while booting. | 16:03 |

| kg | After installing 11.10 my cannon scanner worked. Now after updating the system, it doesn't. What should I do? | 16:03 |
| kevin_takeshi | Jordan_U: shall i go with Ubuntu 11.10? | 16:04 |
| Qualia | i hope you get the question ... | 16:04 |
| bekks | HashNuke: You wont see any init scripts messages in there. | 16:04 |
| HashNuke | bekks: oh | 16:04 |
| Jordan_U | kevin_takeshi: That's what I would recommend. | 16:04 |
| Lokesh | kevin_takeshi I think that is your best bet. :) | 16:04 |
| req^ | upgrading seems to often bring a lot of problems :) | 16:04 |
| bekks | HashNuke: dmesg just shows you the kernel ring buffer. | 16:04 |
| HashNuke | ah. ok | 16:04 |
| Lokesh | HashNuke: exactly what are you trying to achieve? | 16:04 |
| HashNuke | Lokesh: one of my init scripts is erroring out, i just want to find out what the errors are. | 16:05 |
| bekks | HashNuke: then insert "set -xv" as second line, and start it manually. | 16:05 |
| HashNuke | bekks: k. thanks! | 16:06 |
| Lokesh | HashNuke: since you mentioned init, im going to assume you meant "init.d" which is the booting aspect of the Kernal | 16:06 |

| Ash-Loydon | since upgrading to 11.4 my printer is ouputting each color below where it should be on the page. I've google searched and cant find a solution. Printer is epson sx200. Any ideas? | 16:07 |
| Jordan_U | kevin_takeshi: Yes. All supported versions of Ubuntu will. | 16:07 |
| kevin_takeshi | But once i had a problem after installing 10.04 along with windows 7 and wubi installtion did not go well | 16:08 |
| Lokesh | after the battery charges to a 100%, you want to remove the charger, wait for it to become critically low then again connect the charger. | 16:08 |
| auronandace | kevin_takeshi: wubi is always a bad idea | 16:08 |

| grkblood | is bluray playback supported yet? | 16:16 |
| johnyB1 | does anybody know how to change default file association in 10.04? | 16:16 |
| auronandace | Lokesh: that isn't general linux, thats chromium os specific | 16:17 |

| auronandace | Lokesh: i don't see why not, ask the chromium devs | 16:17 |

| anonissimus | nothing too particular | 16:27 |
| anonissimus | meh | 16:27 |
| anonissimus | might as well switch back to win7 | 16:28 |
| Lokesh | then i may suggest that you not upgrade in the near future, as your hardware is probably not supported | 16:28 |

| urlin2u | ubidoobi2, it is on the sda1 that is correct I suspect you need a chkdsk look in gparted for any errors on the two NTFS partitions | 16:57 |
| ubidoobi2 | urlin2u : boot flag points to ntfs system reserved partition | 16:57 |
| BluesKaj | Sidewinder1, :) | 16:58 |
| ubidoobi2 | urlin2u : .. so just do a check and repair on each win part? | 16:58 |
| urlin2u | ubidoobi2, that is where the boot files are if you look at the bootscript, you can move the flag to sda2 and install the /bootmgr /Boot/BCD to sda2 a auto repiar will probably not due thios I have the commands if you like. | 16:58 |
| ubidoobi2 | urlin2u : ... sure that would be appreciated .. thanks | 16:59 |
| kronoman | hello | 17:01 |
| urlin2u | ubidoobi2, should be booting W7, the update-grub should be picking up the sda1 it is a boot partition. So before we bypass the regular W7 boot partition look at those two NTFS in gparted right click each partition then info for any errors info. | 17:01 |
| urlin2u | ubidoobi2, to load those boot files to the sda2 NTFS you need a W7 repair or install disc as well. | 17:02 |

| llutz | LemonAid: rightclick on channel-tab, settings | 17:06 |
| urlin2u | ubidoobi2, so before we tr6y to bypass lets make sure that the long install time for grub originally isn't part of the problem can you describe that, was it during the actual ubuntu install and how did you determine it was hanging? | 17:07 |
| LemonAid | llutz: got it, thank you ! | 17:07 |
| urlin2u | ubidoobi2, I hate to bypass and be in the same place basically when grub can be purged and reinstalled easily fro the live running Ubuntu. | 17:08 |
| ubidoobi2 | urlin2u : I used the alternate CD to install ... Desktop CD would not pick up the HDD at all no matter what I tried .. the install was going great .. said it was installing grub ... then it paused around 66% for a long time ... but finally got moving ... booted the computer after the install .. booted into ubuntu ... with no sign of grub during boot. | 17:09 |

| ||arifaX | ubidoobi2: you should check the drive eg. with SpinRite or similar software. Mine drove me nuts but after Spinrite Level 4 over night it worked. Could be the hard drive maybe! | 17:11 |
| meadhikari | llutz, i means something like html to pdf | 17:11 |
| urlin2u | ubidoobi2, due you have W7 encrypted as well? | 17:12 |

| petedunham | Does anybody know about this problem? Did anybody experience it before? Ubuntu 11.10, XUbuntu Desktop, Kernel 3. | 17:16 |
| urlin2u | ubidoobi2, kind of a strange situation I think if we bypass the boot partition we will be in the same place but loading the W7 bootloader back to the mbr is easy with the W7 disc, and reloading grub to the mbr is easy as well I would reload the W7u bootloader boot the disc go to the repair terminal and run bootrec.exe /fixboot this should have W7 booting correctly by itself again, this wil confirm that it is still working. If you resized the W7 pa | 17:16 |
| urlin2u | rtitions with the ubuntu install you will get a auto chkdsk as well the chkdskz may all that ios needed, easier run knowing if W7 boots. | 17:16 |
| api984 | did anyone have a problem like : "turned off pc. not bootable again. grub rescue, gparted shows unknown filesystem" - my setup mdraid+lvm? | 17:16 |

| === HashNuke_ is now known as HashNuke | ||
| foidle | _Mark321_, yes that'll work. | 17:18 |
| _Mark321_ | foidle, I think it is just a virtual shell, when the boot hangs I hit ctrl+alt+F1 | 17:18 |
| urlin2u | ubidoobi2, that is what I would do it should be booting the script does not really show any errors other then W7 is not in the os-prober which is the app that should find W7 | 17:19 |

| urlin2u | ubidoobi2, cool the only other thing is that you were not able to install from the live cd becasue the HD didn't show or something I wonder if the partition table for the W7 isn't messed up or as suggested the HD has some problems hard to say I'mj ust guessing. | 17:21 |

| urlin2u | ubidoobi3, you might check on line for any problems in general with those HD's and linux/ubuntu once in a while there are ones that are not friendly, although Ubuntu is running, so it is a bit strange. | 17:25 |

| kapo | you can't see your desktop?? | 17:44 |
| lalakis_ | i dont know about filter rules in iptables. the only fact is that i go in the network tool-> port scanner and returns in result that port 80, and two other ports are open | 17:44 |

| kapo | there are a simbol right your name | 17:45 |
| kapo | click there and select ubuntu 2d or ubuntu | 17:45 |
| urlin2u | ubidoobi3, the chkdsk if run from the repair would need the boot flag on the partition you want checked in the windows live environment it is the same command both will ask if you want it run at restart, the repair though I reiterate the boot flag on the partition though chkdsk /f/r is the command | 17:45 |
| lbw | kapo: aaah ok wait | 17:45 |
| lalakis_ | open port means that ports can be accesed from other compouters in internet, right ? | 17:45 |
| llutz | lalakis_: WoL only works if your machine is down, so there are not filters active in that state | 17:45 |

| kapo | wow!! | 17:47 |
| llutz | foidle: how should an iptables rule affect a machine powered down? | 17:47 |
| foidle | llutz, he said that he never powered it down. so that has nothing to do with it, right? | 17:48 |
| llutz | foidle: WoL works without any active OS, so setting up iptables-rules is nonsense | 17:48 |

| Niya | GraemeLion: So I'm sort of looking for some way to see if there are other people who are actually interested in it, somehow. | 18:09 |
| urlin2u | ubidoobi3, that is the boot partition it has the boot files per the bootscipt you posted yes the flag is correct to be read for booting W7. If you wanted to run the actual chkdsk on the sda2 C partion from that repair disc you would put the boot flag on the sda2 partirtion and run chkdsk /f/r if on the live W7 system the flag is not specific for getting the chkdksk on C as you would be initiating it form a live ri=unning W7. | 18:09 |
| snoeman | Where is the hard drive usage analyzer on ubuntu 11.10 | 18:09 |
| GraemeLion | Niya: Yeah, I can see the frustration there. I'd go with pidgin in your case. I'm not honestly interested in it, but I think you should reg a launchpad account and put in a feature request.. or sign on to it as "affecting me" | 18:09 |

| surgy | when i try to browse files on the device my blackberry isnt in the list | 18:25 |
| urlin2u | ubidoobi3, hmm so that command did not work, did you initiate getting the C in that command prompt or that is what it showed, it should have not shown being that the bootflag was not on the C partition. | 18:25 |
| reisio | saulotoledo: KDE uses a different toolkit, Qt | 18:25 |
| lalakis | still no network connections | 18:25 |
| saulotoledo | reisio: I know, but GTK2 applications can load his themes correctily | 18:25 |

| llutz | lalakis: check cable/connection | 18:26 |
| lalakis | its ok.. i didnt change anything | 18:26 |
| urlin2u | ubidoobi3, no grub now but booting to Ubuntu? | 18:26 |
| ubidoobi3 | urlin2u : that's correct | 18:26 |
| saulotoledo | reisio: but if I open a gtk3 application, the theme isn't loaded.. :( | 18:26 |

| urlin2u | uograde* | 18:38 |
| urlin2u | upgrade* Doh | 18:39 |
| delerium | urlin2u: sort of both. I booted from the iso and it gave me the choice. Wipe everything or install over, so I installed over | 18:39 |
| iha | hello all, is there a way to install the grub into other partition head instead of mbr? | 18:39 |

| urlin2u | delerium, you might just change the apt source download server I suspect that is the problem. | 18:40 |
| ubidoobi3 | urlin2u: had to take a little break myself lol .. can get a little frustrating after the first 100 boots ... I will get it to work no worries :) ... at worst I will learn the guts of grub myself :) | 18:41 |

| jasox | Hi ppl, I have problem with registration openPGP keys. I imported key 4 days ago but It still says "Keys pending validation" on Launcpad.net | 18:42 |
| urlin2u | ubidoobi3, I don't think it is a grub problem it seems to be in the windows setup, the not seen HD from the live cd is the first clue, as the partitioning set is is a standard one. | 18:42 |
| gry | hi, do I /need/ the 'previous linux versions' which I see in Grub if the latest kernel booted successfully several times? | 18:42 |
| llutz | MeanEYE: why do you encrypt your data if you want to give a webserver access to it (including all security-risks)? | 18:42 |
| lalakis | i booted into windows 7 now | 18:43 |
| MeanEYE | llutz: Well, local apache server is used for development and it's on my laptop which I used when traveling. So in the end I need to work but in case of loosing it no one should have access to files. | 18:43 |
| lalakis | and internet is working ok llutz | 18:43 |
| llutz | lalakis: so what? | 18:43 |
| lalakis | ubuntu still has probles after flushing the iptables | 18:43 |
| MeanEYE | llutz: Would changing user under which apache runs allow me to do that. | 18:44 |
| lalakis | with ubuntu i dont have internet.. with windows 7 i have | 18:44 |
| urlin2u | ubidoobi3, I always have everything backed up, and I have the W7 install discs, and never use a Windows boot partition, basically because it is a extra partition only needed if using the W7 encryption, but I have a upgrade W7 install not the OEM. | 18:44 |
| ubidoobi3 | urlin2u : ... i'm in win channel now asking questions :) | 18:44 |

| reisio | dejavou42: ah | 19:25 |
| reisio | JosephHarrietha: it's impossible to say until you spit the question out | 19:26 |
| reisio | danes: is there one for any OS? | 19:26 |
| JosephHarrietha | reisio, sorry, I am only trying to stay on-topic and not impose. Thank you :) | 19:26 |
| reisio | JosephHarrietha: so? | 19:27 |
| JosephHarrietha | I would like to ask that since there is no official Ubuntu distribution containing an official version of the Gnome project, only a fork built on the gnome 2 stack, and ported to the gnome 3 stack, if there will be an offical "Gubuntu", or a Ubuntu sporting a Default Gnome 3 desktop, akin to the other *Buntu projects where the only difference is a desktop enviroment. | 19:28 |
| reisio | JosephHarrietha: Ubuntu does use official GNOME, GNOME 3 in recent versions | 19:28 |
| reisio | though it comes by default with a special configuration, Unity, which you can replace by installing gnome-shell | 19:28 |
| === d7o2 is now known as vtm2 | ||
| reisio | AFAIK there has been no committment to continue supporting GNOME 2 | 19:29 |
| JosephHarrietha | But i've been told that it's not officially supported. | 19:29 |
| tweakkkkk | hallo, ich wollte mal einen anderen dns server nutzen als den von kabel deutschland. wenn ich einen anderen in /etc/resolv.conf eintragen wird trotzdem der von kabel benutzt :( Ich habe keinen Router zwischen geschaltet, also direkt ans modem. | 19:29 |
| reisio | if any of the GNOME 2 forks endure, however, I see no reason why they won't support those | 19:29 |
| reisio | JosephHarrietha: what isn't? | 19:29 |
| tweakkkkk | sorry, wrong channel | 19:29 |

| JosephHarrietha | reisio, Gnome-shell, replacing unity | 19:29 |
| reisio | JosephHarrietha: ...what about it? | 19:29 |
| reisio | you said something about official | 19:29 |
| llutz | tweakkkkk: add you dns to the connection in networkmanager | 19:30 |
| JosephHarrietha | reisio. Yes, when I asked about using gnome 3 instead of unity, I was told that it was "unsupported" | 19:30 |
| reisio | JosephHarrietha: someone probably though you meant version 2, not 3 | 19:30 |
| reisio | JosephHarrietha: for ordinary 3 you need only install gnome-shell, log out, hit the cog next to your user to change to it, log in | 19:30 |
| reisio | JosephHarrietha: you might also want to install gnome-tweak-tool, gnome-panel, gnome-session-fallback | 19:31 |
| JosephHarrietha | reisio. So I came here asking about an offical support of gnome3 on Ubuntu. I asked that question in mid-july and the reply I recived was that I would be unable to ask questions in this IRC about Ubuntu if I used the gnome-shell instead of ubuntu-unity | 19:31 |
| reisio | JosephHarrietha: that sounds like nonsense to me | 19:31 |
| hanasaki | what is a good (prefer webbrower based) tool for editing ldap entries of users/groups/services? that will also make the home directories when a new user is created | 19:31 |
| reisio | Ubuntu supports both Unity and ordinary GNOME 3 | 19:31 |
| reisio | Unity runs on top of ordinary GNOME 3 | 19:31 |
| JosephHarrietha | reisio, I know. I currently run Gnome 3 on an ArchLinux base. | 19:31 |
| AleXstX | How can i convert plain text to .lst or .wpa? i have a dictionary list i wrote and i need to properly convert it... | 19:31 |
| reisio | AleXstX: not heard of those formats, what are they | 19:32 |
| === vtm2 is now known as vtm | ||
| JosephHarrietha | reisio, Thats what I had thought, I was appalled when support was not given, I had attribted it to the decline in the status of canonicals relationship with the GNOME project. | 19:32 |
| reisio | JosephHarrietha: it's likely, again, they thought you meant GNOME 2 | 19:32 |
| tweakkkkk | llutz; it doesn't work :( | 19:33 |
| JosephHarrietha | reisio, Thank you sir. Do you mind If i keep a log of our conversation to show to any people who may say to me that it is "unsupported" | 19:33 |
| Gblue | Can anyone help me? | 19:33 |
| AleXstX | someone help? | 19:33 |
| JosephHarrietha | Gblue, Well, whats your problem | 19:34 |
| Gblue | In ubuntu server, when i try to run firestarter it says: Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: | 19:34 |
| reisio | JosephHarrietha: not at all, but you need only show them gnome-shell in Ubuntu's repos to prove that | 19:34 |
| reisio | JosephHarrietha: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?&searchon=names&suite=all§ion=all&keywords=gnome-shell | 19:34 |
| Gblue | In ubuntu server, when i try to run firestarter it says: Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: | 19:35 |
| reisio | JosephHarrietha: or explain to them that it's impossible to support Unity without supporting GNOME 3, as the former runs on top of the latter | 19:35 |
| ZeitFight | Hello! I'm trying to make a bootable pendrive with slax on it. I've downloaded the tar file from the webpage slax.org and I have extracted the two files in it to the pendrive. Inside the pendrive boot-folder theres a file I need to run to finalize the installation. Whenever I try to run this file bootinst.sh I get the message >>>sudo: ./bootinst.sh: command not found | 19:35 |
| reisio | Gblue: and the application doesn't start? | 19:35 |
| Gblue | uhu | 19:35 |

| reisio | ZeitFight: #slax ? or use unetbootin | 19:35 |
| JosephHarrietha | reisio, thank you. I like the unity desktop, and I think that it is a simply wonderful endeavour.... But I have taken a liking to gnome 3. Are the shell-extensions on the repo aswell? Some are officially supported by the Gnome project. | 19:36 |
| reisio | JosephHarrietha: named? | 19:37 |
| llutz | tweakkkkk: or you edit "/etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf" and set your dns in "prepend domain-name-servers 8.8.8.8 " and restart networkmanager | 19:38 |
| marw | why can't i select any option in lash settings, nor close the window (yt video > right click > settings)? | 19:38 |

| JosephHarrietha | reisio, The reason for providing the other repo is that the nomenclature should be similar. I am looking to use Ubuntu as my only operating system instead of the Arch/Ubuntu dual boot because, as nice as arch is... Its more trouble that I have time for now-a-days | 19:40 |
| JosephHarrietha | than* | 19:40 |
| reisio | JosephHarrietha: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=11338056&postcount=5 might have to install them manually | 19:41 |
| ShawnRisk | ChibiTan: you should tell us the error | 19:41 |
| JosephHarrietha | doritoDan, Please don't set your IRC to autojoin a channel, it shows your hostname , logs you out and then logs you back in with your cloak. | 19:41 |
| reisio | JosephHarrietha: or via a "PPA" | 19:41 |
| Maccer | Gr... the Marvell drivers don't work for Ubuntu. Ubuntu still doesn't detect my ethernet connection. :( | 19:41 |
| doritoDan | JosephHarrietha: Thanks, but why is that a problem | 19:42 |
| reisio | Maccer: you ever say what device it is you've got? | 19:42 |

| === Pilif|meeting is now known as Pilif12p | ||
| JosephHarrietha | reisio, I feared that, but I will ask if they can support some of them, and simultaneously seek out a PPA :) | 19:42 |
| Maccer | reisio: Yeah, Marvell 88E8057 | 19:42 |
| hanasaki | how usable is the samba4 stuff? | 19:42 |
| JosephHarrietha | doritoDan, Well, the point of your cloak is to hide your hostname right? Well, its out for the world to see. | 19:43 |
| Maccer | Sounds like a lot of people from Ubuntu and CentOS are having problems with this. | 19:43 |
| reisio | JosephHarrietha: I'm sure they'll be in the official repo eventually | 19:43 |
| Maccer | There's a PPA repo to fix it, problem is, there's no internet! | 19:43 |
| Maccer | So I tried to compile my own but I don't know how to get ubuntu to load it | 19:43 |
| JosephHarrietha | doritoDan, see, http://pastebin.com/puM3BKyC | 19:43 |
| Maccer | ( reisio ) | 19:44 |
| JosephHarrietha | reisio, Hmm, well if not I can always pick up debian packaging Ubuntu style. I manage a cydia repo alredy, which uses debian-style aswell. | 19:44 |
| reisio | Maccer: you can't just sudo modprobe sky2 ? | 19:45 |
| Pilif12p | yeah i know don't change nicks. it's one line. not that big of a deal. if someone doesn't know how to scroll up they probably shouldn't be using irc | 19:45 |
| reisio | Maccer: and/or skge | 19:45 |
| ShawnRisk | ChibiTan: http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=125 | 19:46 |
| JosephHarrietha | Well, Thank you reisio, I'll stay in IRC for a while and see if anybody needs help while I install Gnome3.... I'll probably have to switch into a tty and irssi though haha :P | 19:46 |
| reisio | JosephHarrietha: why's that | 19:46 |
| Maccer | reisio: No output on either sky2, skge, or sk98lin (apparently the one I compiled) | 19:46 |
| Maccer | This is a fresh install of ubuntu btw | 19:47 |
| reisio | Maccer: there isn't normally output, lsmod | egrep -i 'sky2|skge' to see if they're loaded | 19:47 |
| reisio | Maccer: then tell your network to start | 19:47 |
| reisio | if it works remember to add the module/s to your auto load list | 19:47 |
| JosephHarrietha | reisio, I figured out the fallancy in what I said only after I said it. Ill just install and logout/login :P | 19:47 |
| reisio | JosephHarrietha: ah :D | 19:47 |
| ShawnRisk | any ideas on my question? | 19:48 |
| JosephHarrietha | reisio, Is there a single meta package that I can uninstall to remove the unity interface? | 19:49 |
| reisio | ShawnRisk: it seems to allude to another question | 19:49 |
| Maccer | reisio: They're all loaded apparently, but used by nothing. What do you mean tell my network to start it? Also sky2 might conflict with sk98lin so I dunno | 19:49 |
| doritoDan | JosephHarrietha: I'm happy if people don't see it upon whois. I don't really care if they can see it in an isolated instance. | 19:49 |
| doritoDan | But thanks. | 19:49 |
| reisio | JosephHarrietha: probably, but I couldn't tell you which | 19:49 |
| JosephHarrietha | doritoDan, Alright :P, no problem | 19:50 |
| doritoDan | :) | 19:50 |
| reisio | Maccer: sudo /etc/init.d/network start or something like that | 19:50 |
| ShawnRisk | reisio: no before that | 19:50 |
| ChibiTan | ShawnRisk: "E: Unable to locate package libperl5.10" "E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'libperl5.10'". It doesn't exist because the newer version 5.12 does, which I already have installed. | 19:50 |

| reisio | ShawnRisk: eh? | 19:50 |
| JosephHarrietha | Alright, Now I have an issue... I seem to have pressed a keyboard combination that now causes my writing to be in "overwrite" mode instead of insert.... | 19:50 |
| javier_ | Hi! I have problems with internet in Ubuntu. It goes very slow, an with windows is normal. it's a serious problems, I use my computer specially for internet. Someone knows what can help? I tried changing to Google DNS, but is not a big difference (if I did it well). Thanks! | 19:50 |
| JosephHarrietha | Nvm, found it. Stupid insert key. | 19:50 |

| ChibiTan | ShawnRisk: So it doesn't work. | 19:52 |
| ShawnRisk | reisio: I will look | 19:53 |
| ShawnRisk | ChibiTan: why is it asking you for 5.10? | 19:53 |
| Galvatron | javier_: Any details, like how are you connected? | 19:53 |
| ChibiTan | ShawnRisk: I have no idea why. | 19:54 |
| javier_ | Galvatron: I'm with wireless conection, in ubuntu 11.10. It happens with all internet, not just flash. Also in several programs: firefox, chromium, jdownloader... All my flatmates with windows have normal speed, and I get very low one with the best laptop | 19:54 |
| ShawnRisk | ChibiTan: not sure but best bet is to search internet for answer and if nothing come back here | 19:55 |
| Galvatron | javier_: How about 11.04? | 19:56 |
| ChibiTan | ShawnRisk: I've already googled. No luck. I always google before I ask for help. | 19:56 |
| LnxSlck | hello guys | 19:56 |
| LnxSlck | quick question | 19:56 |
| JosephHarrietha | Theres something odd about this gnome 3... but I can't place my finger on it. | 19:56 |
| LnxSlck | i had ubuntu 11.10 installed with grub and ubuntu theme | 19:56 |
| LnxSlck | now i have grub with debian theme | 19:56 |
| javier_ | Galvatron: I recently moved here and I had already 11.10, so I haven't tried with 11.04 | 19:56 |
| JosephHarrietha | Oh... windows are still using the theme from unity... *sigh* | 19:56 |
| LnxSlck | how i restore grub to ubuntu theme? | 19:56 |
| ShawnRisk | ChibiTan: okay I have to go but ask again in a few mins if no one else seems to be helping you. | 19:57 |
| === vtm2 is now known as vtm | ||
| ShawnRisk | reisio: That helped out, I believe what I searched for last time didn't help me at all | 19:57 |
| Galvatron | LnxSlck: sudo aptitude reinstall grub-pc | 19:57 |
| reisio | ShawnRisk: that'd explain why you were still searching | 19:57 |
| LnxSlck | Galvatron, does it have to be with aptitude? | 19:58 |
| Maccer | Forever networkless. <_> | 19:58 |
| Galvatron | javier_: 11.10 is very fresh and needs time to get into a fully usable state, so trying 11.04, even as a LiveCD, could tell us something. | 19:58 |
| Galvatron | LnxSlck: The command for apt-xxx should be "sudo apt-get install --reinstall grub-pc | 19:59 |
| JosephHarrietha | Much better... | 19:59 |
| LnxSlck | Galvatron, going to try it thanks | 19:59 |
| javier_ | Galvatron: but I remember, in my previous house, it was also slow in 11.04. I don't think the prblem is there | 20:00 |
| Galvatron | javier_: What wireless card do you have? | 20:00 |
| javier_ | Galvatron: How can I check that? | 20:01 |
| JosephHarrietha | javier_, lscpi | grep net | 20:01 |
| DarezGhost | guys, I need to install 64bit ubuntu but I'm already on a 32bit. my system doesn't have any optical drives. is it possible to initiate a 64bit os install from within my current 32bit installation | 20:02 |
| NlessKnight | Darez: Looking to reformat, I'm assuming? | 20:02 |
| JosephHarrietha | javier_, lscpi | grep -i net , sorry, forgot to do incase sensitive | 20:03 |
| DarezGhost | it doesn't matter either way, just need the OS | 20:03 |
| DarezGhost | reinstall would be fine | 20:03 |
| DarezGhost | reformat* | 20:03 |
| pnorman | DarezGhost: Can't answer your question, but have you considered installing from a USB drive? | 20:03 |
| tarelerulz | I use my ntfs partition on windows 7 for storing movie and I found couple had been deleted . Have any of you had this happen to you ? | 20:03 |
| reisio | tarelerulz: yup, after deleting things | 20:03 |
| DarezGhost | i don't have a usb drive either. well i do but its a tiny 512mb one | 20:03 |
| AdhamSabry | hi | 20:03 |
| Besnikk | Where can I fund Ubuntu 10.10 ? | 20:03 |
| javier_ | JosephHarrietha, I'm afraid it doesnt do anything with that. Lscpi is wrong, termnial says | 20:03 |
| JosephHarrietha | javier_, lspci * | 20:04 |
| Galvatron | DarezGhost: No. | 20:04 |
| AdhamSabry | I have a problem with ubuntu 11.10, sometimes it just logs me out or suddenly it goes to login screen, whats with that? | 20:04 |
| NlessKnight | Darez: What pnorman's suggesting would be your best bet. Transfer the ISO onto a USB drive, SD card (if your system has a reader for it, of course), etc. | 20:04 |
| JosephHarrietha | javier_, Gah, sorry , thats was two mistakes on my part in one command. I'm terribly sorry. | 20:04 |
| pnorman | DarezGhost: THe alternate installer might be small enough to fit on there - I'm not sure | 20:04 |
| javier_ | JosephHarrietha, it's ok :) | 20:04 |
| AdhamSabry | when I'm in the middle of work or something, it just shows me the login screen suddenly and I get to login from the start | 20:04 |

| JosephHarrietha | javier_, What laptop are you using, out of curiosity? | 20:05 |
| tarelerulz | So reisio , you write to your ntfs partition a lot ? | 20:05 |
| Besnikk | Galvatron: I need the LiveCD | 20:05 |
| reisio | every time I have to | 20:05 |
| javier_ | JosephHarrietha, it's an ACER Aspire 5742 | 20:06 |
| JosephHarrietha | javier_, I'm using a gateway md73 and our hardware is similar, Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR928X Wireless Network Adapter and Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8057 PCI-E | 20:06 |
| Galvatron | Besnikk: 10.10 is supported only until 12.04 is released, so it would be better to go for 11.04, especially that it also has classic GNOME2 (altogether with Unity) and there is a PPA for stble Compiz 0.8.6.;) | 20:06 |
| === jsurfer_ is now known as jsurfer | ||

| gry2 | hi, is it safe to remove old kernel versions by "completely uninstalling" the old linux-image entries in synaptic? | 20:07 |
| Galvatron | Besnikk: That's what I gave you. Evert Ubuntu CD/DVD is "live". | 20:07 |
| JosephHarrietha | javier_, Just a random tidbit, your wireless card supports packet injection... anyway, Offtopic. Are you using ethernet? If you are, I may have your solution | 20:07 |
| jrib | gry2: yes, though you should keep one around | 20:07 |
| Galvatron | Besnikk: And so I say it also has normal GNOME. | 20:08 |
| gry2 | jrib, is it ok to 'completely' uninstall them or to 'uninstall' them? what's the difference? | 20:08 |
| ChibiTan | Just upgraded to 11.10 and can't run Kildclient. Running in Terminal brings up "error while loading shared libraries: libperl.so.5.10: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" Checked Synaptic, I have libperl 5.12 installed. Tried reinstalling Kildclient from the software center, same error. Any ideas? | 20:08 |
| Felix72 | unity is likely to be one of the first things, i'm going to delete when upgrading | 20:08 |
| jrib | gry2: both are safe. Completely uninstall removes configuration files but I don't think there are any for the linux-image packages | 20:08 |
| javier_ | JosephHarrietha, I see. And do you have similar problems? | 20:08 |
| MonkeyDust | Felix72: try Mint 12 | 20:08 |
| JosephHarrietha | javier_, No I don't.. But I know that there is an issue with broadcom ethernet cards and Ubuntu. I can solve that one, as for Atheros wireless cards.... I've never had an issue. ever. | 20:09 |
| Galvatron | MonkeyDust:Nah - Mint 12 = Ubuntu 11.10 (i.e. no GNOME2/Mate) | 20:09 |
| w30 | gry2, the advantage of using synaptic is that it also updates your grub config and doesn't show the old kernel choices any more | 20:10 |
| Galvatron | MonkeyDust: They've just officially confirmed it. | 20:10 |
| javier_ | JosephHarrietha, but mine is broadcom or atheros? | 20:10 |
| Felix72 | hi monkey, am pretty fine with 10.04, am just afraid of getting uncomfortable with newer releases. thanks for the tip | 20:10 |
| bkerensa | Any idea what package handles system wide proxy settings in Ubuntu 11.10? | 20:10 |
| MonkeyDust | Galvatron: that's not what i've read | 20:10 |
| JosephHarrietha | javier_, Are you having your problems on ethernet (pluged in) or wireless | 20:10 |
| Galvatron | MonkeyDust: I've read it just today (compatibility and dependency issues). | 20:11 |
| Felix72 | I already miss the option to chance GDM themes | 20:11 |
| reisio | you can change lightdm themes too :p | 20:11 |
| reisio | and they should be easier to make | 20:11 |
| MonkeyDust | ah, idd, it's MGSE | 20:11 |
| gry2 | Felix72, pretty sure you can install something to bring that option back again | 20:11 |
| JosephHarrietha | reisio, is that what the new login manager is? Lightdm? My god, its quite amazing. | 20:11 |
| javier_ | JosephHarrietha, on wireless | 20:12 |
| reisio | JosephHarrietha: it has its perks | 20:12 |
| reisio | anything that depends less on GNOME is good | 20:12 |
| JosephHarrietha | javier_, Alright, so my idea wasen't the right one. What is your issue with it again? | 20:12 |
| javier_ | JosephHarrietha, I see, with atheros | 20:12 |

| guntbert | bkerensa: any "system settings" will be only valid for apps that decide to adhere by them, so I suppose the answer must be "there is no such app" | 20:13 |
| zelrik | hello | 20:13 |
| javier_ | JosephHarrietha, just internet is slow in all my machine, but not in windows. The problem is there in firefox, chromium, jdownloader, terminal if I install something from internet source... | 20:13 |
| gry2 | How do I switch from the new Gnome2 scrollbars to the "classic" ones? | 20:13 |
| JosephHarrietha | reisio, Haha in someways. it is nice to have a very large community back gnome though. gdm may (once they can decide on something) end up being beter. | 20:13 |
| reisio | Maccer: ah misunderstood you I think | 20:13 |
| gry2 | Gnome3, even. | 20:13 |
| reisio | Maccer: just find it and download it | 20:13 |
| reisio | JosephHarrietha: I guess I should say as a person who doesn't use GNOME, I like it when things don't depend on it | 20:14 |
| elgaton | Maccer: the best way is to use Synaptic to create a download script, copy the URLs from there and then use them to download the packages from the other machine. | 20:14 |
| JosephHarrietha | javier_, Wait, okay this kinda jarred something... are you using btrfs? | 20:14 |
| Maccer | elgaton: I don't have ubuntu to download this on. | 20:14 |
| JosephHarrietha | reisio, What DE do you use? Personally I prefer GNOME and Openbox | 20:14 |
| Maccer | https://launchpad.net/~foresto/+archive/extradrivers This for instance, how would one download this package on windows and execute it off-line on ubuntu? | 20:14 |
| elgaton | Maccer: you use Ubuntu just to get the URLs. You can then use them on ANY machine. | 20:14 |
| trism | Maccer: on the ppa page, click 'View package details', then expand the package you want to download and they are listed at the bottom | 20:14 |
| reisio | JosephHarrietha: Xfce | 20:15 |
| reisio | JosephHarrietha: but I don't use Ubuntu | 20:15 |
| JosephHarrietha | reisio, xubuntu? Or? | 20:15 |
| reisio | JosephHarrietha: or | 20:15 |
| JosephHarrietha | reisio, Lmao, which one? | 20:15 |
| Maccer | I assume the .deb already includes the files, trism? | 20:15 |
| javier_ | JosephHarrietha, what is btrfs? | 20:16 |
| trism | Maccer: the debs are generally what you want unless you are rebuilding the package | 20:16 |
| JosephHarrietha | Maccer, Most times yes.. but the can also contain downloads to git repositories. | 20:16 |
| * Maccer crosses his fingers | 20:16 | |
| reisio | javier_: it's a fancy new FS that isn't quite ready yet but _should be_ the FS to beat very soon | 20:16 |

| JosephHarrietha | javier_, Okay, can you do the command "blkid" and look for any with TYPE="btrfs" | 20:17 |

| reisio | yeah Arch and Gentoo have a kinship I s'pose | 20:17 |
| zelrik | how to set 2 wallpapers on a dual screen | 20:18 |
| bkerensa | guntbert: Ok better question.... Since I have Tor/Polipo with Vidalia and I set all traffic under proxy settings to go to 127.0.0.0.1:8050 via Socks why is those settings being ignored in 11.10 yet it worked fine in 11.04 | 20:18 |
| === Mud is now known as Guest26643 | ||
| JosephHarrietha | reisio, In ideals yes, I find arch copies gentoo alot. Port > AUR, Alot of the wiki contains links to gentoo wiki pages and such. | 20:18 |
| JosephHarrietha | ports* | 20:18 |

| ZeitFight | Im trying to boot from a live-cd. At startup when I choose to boot the live cd it starts up my Ubuntu os that is on my harddrive instead of booting the cd. hmm im confused.. | 20:18 |
| reisio | well it's more recent, only natural | 20:19 |
| reisio | Arch has a better wiki, though, because Gentoo still doesn't have an official one | 20:19 |
| * reisio rolls eyes | 20:19 | |
| Maccer | Bah, what the hell is this dkms bunk that I have to download? | 20:19 |
| bekks | reisio: Gentoo has. | 20:19 |
| reisio | bekks: nope | 20:19 |
| Felix72 | ZeitFight, did u check your BIOS bootup settings? | 20:20 |
| bekks | reisio: Dont lie please. http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Main_Page | 20:20 |
| bekks | There it is. | 20:20 |
| trism | Maccer: dkms automatically rebuilds kernel modules when a new kernel is installed | 20:20 |
| javier_ | JosephHarrietha, not btrfs. I do have windows partitions, but they are ntfs | 20:20 |
| JosephHarrietha | resisio, When I was a gentoo user... I remember other distro's would always talk about the great gentoo wiki... But now alot of it is out-of=date. | 20:20 |
| reisio | bekks: that domain has nothing to do with the Gentoo foundation | 20:20 |
| JosephHarrietha | javier_, whats your ubuntu partition? | 20:20 |
| guntbert | bkerensa: sorry, I know nothing about Vidalia or Polipo - with which programs do the proxy settings work? and with which not? | 20:20 |
| grkblood | is there a way to arrange buttons in gxmessage? | 20:20 |
| reisio | JosephHarrietha: yeah, it'd be more up to date if it were official, I'm sure | 20:20 |
| bekks | gentoo.org IS the official gentoo domain... | 20:20 |
| javier_ | JosephHarrietha, /dev/sda1: UUID="a588e4e5-5ded-4209-9fe9-5c4c001702b2" TYPE="ext4 | 20:20 |
| reisio | bekks: and gentoo-wiki.com != gentoo.org | 20:20 |
| bekks | reisio: Then read my link again. | 20:20 |
| bekks | And THEN start the discussion... | 20:21 |
| reisio | oh neat | 20:21 |
| Galvatron | ZeitFight: First chceck the boot settings in BIOS, then try another bootable CD. | 20:21 |
| reisio | now it just needs content | 20:21 |
| NlessKnight | Darn. I was about to make a joke about having to compile the gentoo wiki yourself. | 20:22 |
| JosephHarrietha | reisio, Yea, Unfortunately I don't have time anymore... Arch, Gentoo even slack and chakra are simply too time consuming. I need a system I can depend on... and here I am *sigh* | 20:22 |
| reisio | JosephHarrietha: nobody forces you to compile all the time with Gentoo | 20:22 |
| ZeitFight | Galvatron: Felix72: I have EFI | 20:23 |
| JosephHarrietha | javier_, Hmm... okay, well to the best of my knowledge... I'm stumpted. Maybe someone else has a better idea. | 20:23 |
| guntbert | reisio: please stop that gentoo talk here | 20:23 |
| Zoloka | Hu all | 20:23 |
| LemonAid | Does anyone have any alternative to Unetbootin ? Something with a command line interface. Think similarly to "mplayer". | 20:23 |
| Zoloka | *Hi | 20:23 |
| reisio | guntbert: I merely respond to what is put to me | 20:23 |
| Maccer | Where could I download dkms 2.1 or higher as an offline package?\ | 20:23 |
| danes | ello, how can I add a task bar in the new ubuntu distribution? I kinda like the look but if I could have a task bar it would be better | 20:24 |
| robin0800 | Felix72, there is this simple-lightdm-manager_0.2-public7_all.deb | 20:24 |
| javier_ | JosephHarrietha, jeje, ok :) Thanks anyway | 20:24 |
| elgaton | Maccer: use en.archive.ubuntu.com | 20:25 |
| JosephHarrietha | reisio, In arch its all binaries... Still setting up the system, keeping it updates, dealing with little issues and general entrophy build-up just lead me to spend 2 hours fixing arch before I could even use it. | 20:25 |
| LemonAid | danes: choose a classic interface at login. Last i checked that worked best. | 20:25 |
| reisio | JosephHarrietha: there's no fixing in Gentoo IME, only waiting for compiles to finish, compiles that you can delay starting for as long as you like | 20:25 |
| trism | Maccer: packages.ubuntu.com , you'll also want to get the linux-headers package for your running kernel, since dkms will need it to build the module | 20:25 |
| llutz | LemonAid: newer *buntu-iso are hybrid-iso, so you can just use cat/dd to transfer them from cli | 20:26 |

| llutz | Zoloka: sure they can, but they won't flood the channel :) | 20:31 |
| trism | Maccer: it means you'll need to download the deb for the patch package too, and I'll find the linux-headers package if you give me: uname -a; | 20:31 |

| maestrojed | reisio thank you. I just looked at that but thought it was OSX only. | 20:54 |
| xangua | (14:50:26) Besnikk: reisio: I like the Ubuntu fonts and 10.04 doesn't have them right ? - you can google ubuntu fonts and download them reisio | 20:54 |
| reisio | maestrojed: runs on everything | 20:54 |
| reisio | maestrojed: makes it that much more neat, no? | 20:54 |
| jstoone | eSoul: Really? That easy?... I must be kidding myself ;) hehe, thanks a lot, I'll try it out! | 20:54 |
| reisio | xangua: I considered telling him that, but invariably getting the same setup as 10.10 would be quite complex | 20:54 |
| eSoul | and make sure ~/Downloads doesnt exist already | 20:54 |
| eSoul | Yeah, it should be that straight forwared | 20:55 |
| eSoul | *forward | 20:55 |
| jstoone | eSoul: ~/Downloads is there by default ;) | 20:55 |
| eSoul | but delete it before you try to make the symbolic link | 20:55 |
| jstoone | oh.. | 20:56 |
| Maccer | trism: I'm sorry for bugging you, and thanks for all the help by the way, but where the hell do I find a proper dkms .deb? This one depends on some patch. Being ethernet and ssh-less is a bitch | 20:56 |
| jstoone | Yea.. it just made the SymLink inside of the Folder ;) | 20:56 |
| eSoul | haha, yup | 20:56 |
| trism | Maccer: it depends on the ubuntu package called patch: http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/patch | 20:57 |
| jstoone | eSoul: You saved my day! | 20:58 |
| Maccer | Oh, it literally depends on something called 'patch', heh. | 20:58 |
| eSoul | good to know jstoone, thanks, heh | 20:59 |
| Kosova | Hello guys which one should I choose 10.04 or 10.10 I don't want the new ones, 10.10 has newer software than 10.04 right ? | 21:00 |

| Kosova | bekks: I need it for my laptop LTS are more for servers I think | 21:02 |
| bekks | Kosova: Depends on how lobng you want to use it... 10.10 is supported until April 2012. | 21:02 |

| cbart | or records using the webcam and records the desktop simultaneously? | 21:10 |
| jstoone | cbart: You could use recordMyDesktop-gtk and Cheese | 21:11 |
| jstoone | cbart: So you record your desktop (it also capures sound) and then have a webcam program open as well (maybe on another workspace). | 21:12 |

| Amphoras | I'm trying to change the size of my main partition. Tried to use gparted from ubuntu, but it wouldn't let me unmount the partition. I tried creating a usb drive with it on it following the first method here http://gparted.sourceforge.net/liveusb.php but it just boots to ubuntu. I looked in the bios and it showed removable disks as the first option. are there any guides on other methods I could try? | 21:13 |
| jstoone | cbart: OR if you're very structured then record your desktop and samutaniously use Cheese or whatever (google it) and then cut it together? | 21:13 |
| bekks | Amphoras: removable devices are different from USB devices. Unless your BIOS does not support that, you have no chance. | 21:13 |
| jstoone | There is some way in "OpenShot" I think it's called (featured in Software Center) that can put your webcam video in the corner of your video? | 21:14 |

| DJredstar | hi, i was having trouble scrobbling with Last.fm in banshee | 21:29 |
| mattylovesyou | Hey everybody I have an annoying problem | 21:30 |
| DJredstar | i know the streaming feature costs money, but i didnt think scrobbling did | 21:30 |
| mattylovesyou | I installed xfce on 11.10, so when i log out and choose to use it, everytime i shut down and restart i am back in unity | 21:30 |
| mattylovesyou | how do i make xfce my default desktop session? | 21:31 |
| macram | Guest34922, so the trouble is with your user profile | 21:31 |
| jsebean | I have an Ubuntu 10.04 server (VPS) it has two cores. When I open top (using command), two or three times per minute one of the CPUs will show 100% us usage. I am noticing nothing wrong and the website i'm hosting is not that active. Also none of the "top" processes show more usage than 2% at a time. I installed htop and it never shows 100% CPU usage. Any ideas whats going on? Am i using a lot of CPU or is top lieing and why? | 21:31 |
| Guest34922 | macram, that plugin is enabled and I can login via unity-3d but there is no panel ,dash like stuffs was not showind when I click the position of the status menu I can see the status menu | 21:31 |
| tauren | Guest34922: i'm having the exact problem | 21:32 |
| DJredstar | hi, i cant figure out how to scrobble with Last.fm in banshee. The help guides werent helpful | 21:32 |
| macram | Guest34922, if you know where Unity configuration is stored you can try deleting it, so you would force Unity to create a new profile | 21:32 |

| DJredstar | can anyone help DJ? | 21:33 |
| sandertje | i use Spotify, for which wine is required | 21:33 |
| Pumpkin- | jsebean: CPU use on top and the like on VM's can be wildly inaccurate, if some other VM runs off with the CPU. I only trust relative values in virtualised environments. | 21:33 |
| bark | i can't see any wireless networks from nm-applet even though i have installed the linux drivers for my RTL8192E and rebooted | 21:33 |
| jsebean | Pumpkin-: relative values? | 21:33 |

| maestrojed | sandertje there is a linux version of spotify, you don't need wine | 21:34 |
| Pumpkin- | yeah, like if some process is using twice as much CPU as something else, averaged over a long period of time, I'll trust that to be true. | 21:34 |
| Pumpkin- | but even then ... | 21:34 |
| macram | steinjakob, run in a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) the following command: sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list | 21:35 |

| ubottu | steinjakob: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 21:38 |
| |Anthony| | guntbert, he should do that IF he uses F2 instead of terminal | 21:38 |
| macram | steinjakob, gksudo is graphic, sudo is terminal-only. gksudo is better :) | 21:38 |

| macram | DJredstar, what do you mean 'scrobble'? | 21:55 |
| macram | scrobbling is sending to last.fm (in this case) the songs you listen as you're listening it | 21:55 |

| puff | mneptok: you around? | 22:28 |
| Guest97440 | hi | 22:28 |
| noahnoah | anyone? | 22:29 |
| Guest97440 | ?? | 22:29 |
| Guest97440 | i'm rirght here | 22:29 |
| jen_ | can someone walk me through how to make a virtualbox? I have the iso and I tried to make one myself but failed D: | 22:29 |
| Guest97440 | welcome | 22:29 |
| fellayaboy | llutz it makes sense to me now | 22:29 |
| Guest97440 | lol | 22:29 |
| === andy_ is now known as Guest80021 | ||
| eoly | noahnoah it is recoverable probably | 22:29 |
| bekks | jen_: Thats perfectly documented on www.virtualbox.org - the do have a pretty good manual. | 22:30 |
| noahnoah | @eoly. I agree. Just not sure where to start. Since I can SSH in, should be able to fix the drivers/config but don't know what to look for | 22:30 |
| maestrojed | alright, I messed things up. Using an app call Cairo Dock, I removed the gnome panel. I have been trying to add it back. I followed this tip http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubuntu-tip-howto-recover-gnome-panel.html which says to delete .gconf, .gconfd,.gnome (I moved them instead of deleting them). But now the GUI is broke/locks up. I put the originals files back but the problem persists | 22:30 |
| Guest80021 | Can anyone help me with my ASUS PCE-N15 on ubuntu 10.04? it isn't detected | 22:30 |
| macram | Guest80021, what is not detected? | 22:31 |
| eoly | noahnoah: You should start by booting into recover mode | 22:31 |
| Guest80021 | <macram> the card itself | 22:31 |
| fellayaboy | but just as if my pc was connected with no router....isnt that info within the router and isnt their a command to retrieve that fromt he router??? | 22:31 |
| eoly | noahnoah: Befor grub menu appears hold down shift key | 22:31 |
| bekks | fellayaboy: No. | 22:31 |
| noahnoah | @eoly, will try now. | 22:31 |
| llutz | fellayaboy: depends on your router. | 22:32 |
| macram | Guest80021, I thought it was a laptop ;) | 22:32 |
| fellayaboy | my router doesnt know its own ip address from the isp? | 22:32 |
| bekks | fellayaboy: You have to script it yourself, since there are zillions of different routers out there. | 22:32 |
| jen_ | bekks, thanks maybe I can figure it out | 22:32 |
| eoly | noahnoah: holding shift will actually bring up grub menu. then choose recovery mode. | 22:32 |
| fellayaboy | i see | 22:32 |
| noahnoah | got it | 22:32 |
| Guest97440 | welcome | 22:32 |
| eoly | noahnoah: should get you into a working root prompt where you can revert drivers | 22:32 |
| macram | Guest80021, try lspci | 22:32 |
| GooeY | hi, all. If i installed Ubuntu using the Wubi, is it possible to access my windows files from Ubuntu? | 22:32 |
| noahnoah | rebooting now... | 22:32 |
| uid069-42-31-41- | macram: i am having trouble getting that to work | 22:32 |
| Guest97440 | what? | 22:32 |
| eoly | ok | 22:32 |
| fellayaboy | i guess theirs no universal protocol for that feature | 22:32 |
| Guest97440 | sudo apt-get install | 22:32 |
| llutz | fellayaboy: thats why asking whatismyip.com is easier in most cases :) | 22:32 |
| bekks | fellayaboy: No, there isnt. | 22:32 |
| fellayaboy | right llutz | 22:33 |
| Guest80021 | <macram> how do I use that? | 22:33 |
| Guest97440 | use what | 22:33 |
| eoly | noahnoah: what nvidia card do you have? | 22:33 |
| Guest97440 | nvidia sucks | 22:33 |
| Guest97440 | get an ATI | 22:33 |
| bekks | LOL | 22:33 |
| Guest97440 | (sucks for linux) | 22:33 |
| noahnoah | Geoforce with 260 | 22:33 |
| eoly | Guest97440: that will solve everything... | 22:33 |
| Guest97440 | not for overall development | 22:33 |
| noahnoah | Need to eventually do some CUDA work | 22:33 |
| macram | Guest80021, Applications -> Accesories -> Terminal | 22:33 |
| maestrojed | fellayaboy http://www.whatismyip.org/ (instead of .com) returns only the IP. No html markup. You could easily write a script to query it | 22:33 |
| ardian | Can I change the mirror list of 10.10 to 11.10 ? at /etc/apt/source.list ? | 22:33 |
| Guest80021 | <macram> got it | 22:34 |
| bekks | ardian: Thats not supported so far. You have to update to 11.04 first. | 22:34 |
| noahnoah | OK. Booted into recovery. Just a black screen :( | 22:34 |
| jen_ | ....I need someone to walk me through virtualbox | 22:34 |
| uid069-42-31-41- | macram: I am getting a vlc: unknown option or missing mandatory argument `--v4l-vdev=/dev/video' | 22:34 |
| fellayaboy | iright maestrojed ive seen a bunch of scripts but it just boogles me... | 22:34 |
| noahnoah | Can't ssh :( | 22:34 |
| eoly | noahnoah: hmmm | 22:34 |
| noahnoah | I do have install CD. | 22:34 |
| bekks | jen_: The vbox manual does that very good. Even with pictures. | 22:34 |
| macram | uid069-42-31-41-, i can't help you because i don't own a webcam in my computer :S | 22:34 |
| eoly | noahnoah: ok maybe you will have to do this via ssh then | 22:35 |
| Guest80021 | <macram> http://paste.ubuntu.com/729505/ | 22:35 |
| noahnoah | Worst case, I could just re-install OS, but would hate to. | 22:35 |
| ardian | bekks: I don't want to upgrade the system only the software packages | 22:35 |
| fellayaboy | confuses me really...makes me feel a bit powerless that i cant find my own external ip address...the router should have that info and their should be a command but i guess its some kind of properitary system holding it back | 22:35 |
| macram | *facepalm* | 22:35 |
| bekks | ardian: Thats not possible. | 22:35 |
| noahnoah | In a perfect world, I'd love to get the correct NVidia driver working so I can use Cuda, etc.. But for now, just happy to get box back up. | 22:35 |
| uid069-42-31-41- | ok when i run vlc "v4l2://" --v4l-vdev="/dev/video" --v4l-adev="/dev/null" --sout #transcode{vcodec=theo,vb=256}:standard{access=http,mux=ogg,dst=:1234}" -I dummy it blows up... HELP!? | 22:35 |
| fellayaboy | thanks guys | 22:35 |
| bekks | ardian: Either you update the system (kernel, etc.) and all packages - or you dont. | 22:35 |
| noahnoah | So, what do I do at the SSH prompt. | 22:35 |
| eoly | noahnoah: what i would recommend trying is sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-96 && sudo apt-get install nvidia-current | 22:35 |
| ardian | bekks: ahh :\ | 22:35 |
| ardian | thanks | 22:35 |
| puff | Anybody know about doing dual-boot installs? | 22:36 |
| eoly | noahnoah: helped me out at least | 22:36 |
| noahnoah | @eoly. Nice! Will try that as soon as I reboot | 22:36 |
| eoly | noahnoah: had a very similar problem | 22:36 |
| macram | puff, google does | 22:36 |
| eoly | noahnoah: good luck | 22:36 |
| puff | I'm installing 11.10 alongside 10.4 LTS, I have two 20GB root partitions and I want them to share /home partition. | 22:36 |
| fellayaboy | so would a hacker attack one specific pc within a NAT router | 22:36 |
| noahnoah | Nvidia had a command line driver install that I used. Hope apt recognizes it. Will let you guys know in a few minutes. | 22:36 |
| noahnoah | @fellaboy: Do you have a port forwarded to that machine? | 22:36 |
| bekks | fellayaboy: If he/she has a good reason - yes. But thats totally offtopic to ubuntu. | 22:37 |
| fellayaboy | say i wanted to hack my laptop thru my external ip address and then hack at my pc rather than my laptop, ipod android etc | 22:37 |
| fellayaboy | bekks right i was just wondering sorry about that | 22:37 |
| iceroot | fellayaboy: please do a research what "hacking" means | 22:37 |
| Guest80021 | Can anyone help me with my ASUS PCE-N15 on ubuntu 10.04? it isn't detected | 22:38 |
| macram | Guest80021, did you do the lspci? | 22:38 |
| fellayaboy | iceroot exploitation | 22:38 |
| noahnoah | @eoly: remove says that driver not installed. install nvidia-current is already newest version. | 22:38 |
| chris_is_me | fellayaboy: you ever figure out your ip | 22:38 |
| fellayaboy | what channel could i discuss networking | 22:38 |
| noahnoah | @felaboy. It is also possible that you have a trojan that opened a reverse port to your laptop. (Common technique to get through NAT, etc.) | 22:38 |
| Guest80021 | <macram> yes, i posted it http://paste.ubuntu.com/729505/ | 22:38 |
| fellayaboy | chris_is_me i know my ip address | 22:39 |
| bigone | i am having an issue with drivers .... i am vming backtrack 5 and using a usb wifi card. when I ifconfig wlan0 down and bring it back up i have an error | 22:39 |
| iceroot | !backtrack | bigone | 22:39 |
| ubottu | bigone: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition | 22:39 |
| bigone | o ok | 22:39 |
| macram | Guest80021, well, you're right, your card is not detected :) | 22:39 |
| bigone | well then i have a question about blacklist.conf file .... can you explain that to me | 22:40 |
| Guest80021 | <macram> any idea on how to fix that? | 22:40 |
| Guest97440 | what thhe.. | 22:40 |
| macram | Guest80021, perhaps it's not connected as it must be | 22:40 |
| Guest97440 | how old are you guys? | 22:40 |
| Guest80021 | <macram> it defanatly is, i did a live boot with 11.10 and it worked | 22:41 |
| chris_is_me | Guest80021: 192 | 22:41 |
| puff | I'm using the alternate install CD, with advanced manual partitioning. It displays all of the existing partitions (incluidng the extra 20GB root partition I created earlier) with no mount point. Do I specify a mount point for the existing /home partition or do I only specify the mount point for the new / partition? | 22:41 |
| macram | Guest80021, and your installed version is...? | 22:41 |
| Guest80021 | <macram> 10.04 | 22:41 |
| bekks | puff: You have to decide that on your own. | 22:41 |
| puff | bekks: ? | 22:42 |
| puff | bekks: That answer makes no sense. | 22:42 |
| bekks | puff: If you want to use your old /home, you have to define a mountpoint, and mount it there | 22:42 |
| bekks | puff: I'm sorry for writing that slow ;) | 22:42 |
| puff | bekks: Yeah, but do I do that _during_ the install, or do it later? | 22:43 |
| GooeY | hi, all. If i installed Ubuntu using the Wubi, is it possible to access my windows files from Ubuntu? | 22:43 |

| bekks | fellayaboy: ssh username@hostname. | 22:45 |
| bekks | fellayaboy: There is no question at that point anymore. | 22:45 |
| GooeY | guest80021, how do i do it? I'm a beginner at this | 22:45 |
| Guest80021 | <Goooey> what version of ubuntu? | 22:45 |
| fellayaboy | hostname? | 22:45 |
| GooeY | 11.10 | 22:45 |
| bekks | fellayaboy: The "name" of your computer. | 22:45 |
| llutz | fellayaboy: you use different ports to connect | 22:46 |

| sheeps_ | hi, I ran update-manager and now one of my machines is refusing DNS over its wired network config, I assume it's a package conflict problem, but I'm not sure where to start looking? | 22:48 |
| jen_ | bekks, okay so I have it set, but I need to go into settings for something and pick my iso, but when I try that it isnt there | 22:48 |
| Guest80021 | Gooey, no problem... but you cant acsess ubuntu from windows without a seprate partition or using a usb | 22:48 |
| bekks | jen_: "settings for something"? Be more precise. | 22:49 |

| Guest80021 | Can anyone help me compile a wireless driver? (ubuntu 10.04 | 22:52 |

| scottj | what does "The following packages have bene kept back" mean in apt? | 22:54 |
| maestrojed | My box is not booting to a screen that is a default ubuntu background, I see the mouse cursor. But nothing works. This happened when playing around with gnome settings. Any debug suggestions. | 22:55 |
| sheeps_ | llutz: I have it set manually to 192.168.2.1 (my router), I also set the ip address to 192.168.2.3 (which works) | 22:55 |

| heyou | hello | 22:56 |
| guest-9flqLG | how can i do login root in tty between login username | 22:56 |
| reisio | m477: why do you ask | 22:56 |
| reisio | guest-9flqLG: you're meant to login as a user and use sudo | 22:56 |
| bekks | guest-9flqLG: root isnt supposed to log in. Use sudo. | 22:57 |
| usr13_ | guest-9flqLG: What exactly are you trying to do? | 22:57 |
| usr13_ | guest-9flqLG: In ubuntu, we use sudo instead of initiating an actual root login. | 22:57 |
| fellayaboy | so then using username@hostname will not work if i have 2 machines with the same username and passwords | 22:58 |
| fellayaboy | or is it username@hostname@externalipaddress? | 22:58 |
| guest-9flqLG | FloatingBot1, ???????????????????????????????? | 22:58 |
| EvilResistance | guest-9flqLG: please dont abuse the question mark. | 22:58 |
| EvilResistance | !root | guest-9flqLG | 22:58 |
| reisio | fellayaboy: the hostname takes the place of the IP, when all is configured to do so | 22:58 |
| bekks | fellayaboy: No. | 22:58 |
| ubottu | guest-9flqLG: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 22:58 |
| heyou | i am having trouble getting the latest version image file to make a bootable cd. tried 3 times and it no work. anyone experience this? | 22:58 |
| sheeps_ | llutz: if I go to system settings and click on the network icon I get a list of wired and wireless settings, but I can't edit anything with it | 22:58 |
| reisio | fellayaboy: having the same user on two boxes shouldn't matter | 22:58 |
| llutz | fellayaboy: use externalip or setup a dyndns-account to use an hostname from extern | 22:58 |
| bekks | fellayaboy: ssh user@hostname still applies. whatever hostname might be from an external location. | 22:58 |
| m477 | reisio: i want to check if i turned off compiz | 22:58 |
| reisio | m477: pgrep -l compiz | 22:59 |
| usr13_ | guest-9flqLG: Works fine. (you'll get used to it) | 22:59 |
| usr13_ | guest-9flqLG: It's a pretty good system. You'll see. | 22:59 |
| Guest80021 | Can anyone help me compile a driver? | 22:59 |
| fellayaboy | right well so far i see that usign dyndns and changing the port will work | 22:59 |
| m477 | reisio: 1661 compiz thats mean not | 22:59 |
| reisio | Guest80021: what driver | 22:59 |
| reisio | m477: that means compiz is running | 22:59 |
