| reisio | told you about AIDE ages ago | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| schnuffle | dr3mro: but only checking the installed files won't help yo much. What about al those files that are suposed to change? | 00:00 |
| dr3mro | schnuffle, reisio iceroot .. i use now debsums , md5sum , sed , awk to do that i'll try aide and see | 00:01 |
| schnuffle | dr3mro: and checking a compromised system should be done with a clean system | 00:01 |
| marcmarc | hi, what's a good 17inch laptop that's ubuntu friendly? | 00:01 |
| iceroot | !hardware | marcmarc | 00:01 |
| ubottu | marcmarc: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 00:01 |
| reisio | dr3mro: it sounds like you'd like AIDE | 00:01 |
| iceroot | marcmarc: maybe there are some listed | 00:02 |
| mneptok | marcmarc: http://system76.com || http://zareason.com | 00:02 |
| marcmarc | mneptok: thanks | 00:02 |
| bekks | dr3mro: And take a look at tools like chkrootkit and rkhunter too. | 00:02 |
| schnuffle | dr3mro: check bekks suggestion. a good point | 00:02 |
| reisio | if you use AIDE correctly, you won't need any other tools | 00:02 |
| dr3mro | bekks, thnx already have those | 00:03 |
| reisio | AIDE is something you'd implement on a known clean system, though | 00:03 |
| cracker | hi | 00:03 |
| schnuffle | reisio: i have a different opinion | 00:03 |
| reisio | and rootkit hunting apps are what you'd use on an already-suspected-to-be-compromised system | 00:03 |
| reisio | cracker: hi | 00:04 |
| reisio | schnuffle: most people have | 00:04 |
| schnuffle | :) | 00:04 |
| hellogoodbye | I wonder if I should attempt to single boot my macbook to only use Ubuntu. Anyone with that experience? | 00:04 |
| reisio | if you can boot it now you can probably already single boot it | 00:05 |
| reisio | technically you'd just remove Mac OS and then it'd be single booting | 00:06 |
| reisio | maybe you're talking about some crazy refit boot loader nonsense, though | 00:06 |
| maestrojed | I removed the top menu. Now I can't launch applications. I don't know how to get that menu bar back (I think its called the gnome panel). How can I launch the system preferences app? I can get to CLI. | 00:06 |
| hellogoodbye | reisio: Yea something like that. I wish it would be easier to leave mac but its not :P | 00:07 |
| reisio | hellogoodbye: AIUI you can use GRUB2 alone, but apparently there are tricks you need to be aware of... that the internet knows about | 00:07 |
| robin0800 | maestrojed, is this in unity or gnome classic | 00:07 |
| NixGeek | I have an ubuntu 11.10 server that I want to send the output from VLC to the input of teamspeak so I can use it as a Teamspeak DJ/Music bot, usign the webinterface of VLC to control the bot. The server DOES NOT have a sound card, and I don't have access to it (it's in a datacenter), any iea how I can do this? | 00:07 |
| s0nee | maestrojed: gnome-control-center | 00:08 |
| hellogoodbye | reisio: I will check that up | 00:08 |
| maestrojed | robin0800 its 10.04 I don't think its unity. I think its gnome2 | 00:08 |
| velcroshooz | hellogoodbye: i keep a minimal osx partition for updates .. every once in awhile apple will release firmware updates, and you are not gonna be able to install them via linux. ie for older machines they released firmware updates for touchpads to enable multitouch. | 00:09 |
| hellogoodbye | velcroshooz: Well that's good to know. I thought they didn't release many firmware updates. Looks like I will be stuck with osx :( | 00:11 |
| maestrojed | s0nee Thx! | 00:11 |
| SetiAmon | i'm having a problem with update manager | 00:11 |
| velcroshooz | hellogoodbye: they dont release many, but your going to have to have osx to install them. decision is up to you. | 00:11 |
| SetiAmon | had a power outage yesterday,anyhow now when i try and download anything i get some message about unable to close a gzip file then update manager closes instantly | 00:11 |
| hellogoodbye | velcroshooz: I can always switch back from singlebooting? | 00:12 |
| velcroshooz | hellogoodbye: yeah, repartition and reinstall osx | 00:12 |
| spray_ | So I think i'm losing my mind, trying to get this B43/fwcutter to actually do its job with ndisgtk | 00:13 |

| rod | Hi, I have a general linux question .. not very good at command line. I just installed a package and it installed the following: /usr/bin/gem1.8 , how can I make it so I can use the command 'gem' straight from the commandline now? (do I need to link something together?) | 00:14 |
| spray_ | rod, ln -s /usr/bin/gem1.8 /usr/bin/gem | 00:14 |
| rod | by install a package, i don't mean i used synaptic | 00:14 |
| rod | oh spray_ thanks | 00:14 |

| SetiAmon | I get a error tjiggi_fo says it can't fix it | 00:16 |
| bekks | SetiAmon: Which error? | 00:17 |
| SetiAmon | Well i broke your commands up because there is something wrong with the display | 00:17 |
| tjiggi_fo | !apt-fix | SetiAmon try this one | 00:17 |

| spray_ | elz89, it's useless to ask new people to read manpages. Even I have to do a double-take when I see "ln [OPTION]... [-T] TARGET LINK_NAME (1st form)" | 00:18 |
| SetiAmon | same | 00:18 |
| SetiAmon | i get a message that can't open status file or close | 00:19 |
| elz89 | spray_: change the record, manpages are the one! | 00:19 |
| basix | elz89, I did NOT ask to ask a question. Stop spamming me if you dont have an answer to my question. | 00:19 |
| rod | hmmm here's another question, If the command 'gem' is already symlinked to something i manually installed, then I use apt-get and install 'gem', is the old symlink erased? | 00:19 |
| tjiggi_fo | SetiAmon, let me google some, see if I can help | 00:19 |
| spray_ | Boy, that's a good question. I don't know if apt overwrites symlinks like that. | 00:19 |
| SetiAmon | yeah thats what i been doing | 00:20 |
| spray_ | As long as what you install has the same name as what you linked to, I don't think it should erase it | 00:20 |
| spray_ | Let me test quick | 00:20 |
| hhhzzzarn | who wants to change their grub menu order right now. | 00:20 |
| spray_ | I swore off IRC in 2002 and now I think i'm back, ARGH. | 00:20 |

| hhhzzzarn | spray, which irc client you are using? | 00:21 |
| SetiAmon | seems to be working | 00:21 |
| SetiAmon | Erk nope,didn't work | 00:21 |
| SetiAmon | this is the error i keep getting btw | 00:21 |

| spray_ | No problem, rod | 00:22 |
| hhhzzzarn | on my other laptop, I am having choppy slow video in fullscreen, might be due to flash. | 00:22 |
| hhhzzzarn | anyone can comment? | 00:22 |
| tjiggi_fo | SetiAmon, http://askubuntu.com/questions/32939/i-cant-run-update-manager-or-software-center-or-synaptic | 00:22 |
| spray_ | hhhzzzarn, what are you using for a video player? | 00:23 |
| hhhzzzarn | spray, youtube, all the website using flash. | 00:23 |
| hhhzzzarn | the video starts to get laggy after some time. | 00:23 |
| hhhzzzarn | could this be due to latest flash? | 00:23 |
| spray_ | I have those problems too, it always seems like a RAM issue for me | 00:23 |
| hhhzzzarn | spray, i have 4gb of ram plus swap. | 00:24 |
| spray_ | Yeah, I have 3gb and it still does it | 00:24 |
| hhhzzzarn | when i went to ubuntu software center, little and bad reviews of the newest flash | 00:24 |
| spray_ | I have to kill off the flash process with htop SIGKILL, restart it within the browser, and it seems to help | 00:25 |
| bz0b | so i just booted up ubuntu 11.10 on my hp g6, which has a intel hd graphics card, and at boot up the screen goes black, and i have to ctrl alt f1 and then ctrl alt f7 to get video, why is that? | 00:25 |
| spray_ | It's actually one of the reasons I don't watch things on youtube fullscreen lately | 00:25 |
| bagels | re | 00:26 |
| hhhzzzarn | bzob, woudn't know | 00:26 |
| SetiAmon | btw i'm trying to install a new usb wifi adapter and it isn't working out of the box for me,is this ndis walkthrews the only thing i can do even in oneiric? | 00:26 |
| bz0b | anyone have any idea? | 00:26 |
| fellayaboy | what exactly is a header | 00:27 |
| hhhzzzarn | bzob, my other laptop has intel graphics as well but seems fine, it is sony. | 00:27 |
| LarsN | using gnome-session-failsafe, how do i add additional types to the gnome online accounts system? | 00:27 |
| spray_ | SetiAmon, ndisgtk is fairly straightforward, but I actually came here to get help with some dumb parts of it | 00:27 |
| spray_ | You can apt-get install ndisgtk, download the Windows drivers, and use the .inf file from the Windows drivers, that is assuming you can connect over hardline ethernet first | 00:27 |
| SetiAmon | i have wnda3100 v2 broadcom chip 4323 | 00:28 |
| SetiAmon | I'm using old wifi right now | 00:28 |
| SetiAmon | Yeah i already installed via wine and have moved the .inf file over to a folder.i just havn't installed winwifi or whatever it is i'm supposed to use ndisgtk | 00:28 |
| SetiAmon | is ndisgtk the best thing for oneiric? | 00:29 |
| spray_ | I gotta tell you, I am having some serious issues with it | 00:29 |
| spray_ | So i'm not the best guy to ask. | 00:29 |
| spray_ | Talk to me when I get an IP address that's actually assigned by my router's DHCP server... | 00:29 |

| hhhzzzarn | kandisnki, i wouldn't know. | 00:35 |

| ania | grub rescue help me | 00:38 |
| katyl | do i need to get a different card? | 00:38 |
| hhhzzzarn | ania: what happened? | 00:38 |
| DudeFace | jiohdi, guake has that? | 00:38 |
| kandinski | pdk, I don't know what I did in between, but I would like to get transparency back. | 00:38 |
| jiohdi | DudeFace, guake has a lot of things including key mappings | 00:38 |
| DudeFace | jiohdi: i could have sworn i tried that. | 00:39 |
| kandinski | for quick-and-dirty terminal work, it's actually useful to see what's underneath | 00:39 |
| kandinski | not just eyecandy, but a feature | 00:39 |
| jiohdi | DudeFace, what kind of key mapping you lookin for? | 00:39 |
| pdq | kandinski, hmm i can move the slider option here to make it fully transparent to not transparent at all, you sure it's only guake thats lost transparency? | 00:39 |
| hhhzzzarn | ania: still there? | 00:39 |
| DudeFace | jiohdi: looking to be able to map my F12 key to send something like CTRL+^ | 00:39 |
| DudeFace | and other F keys to similar | 00:40 |

| jiohdi | DudeFace, no, it only has the ability to map its own functions to keys | 00:40 |
| Gunz4MiPPle | katyl: you can look on launchpad | 00:41 |
| DudeFace | jiohdi, that's what I thought. I need something that will allow me to map the keys to what I want to send to the terminal | 00:41 |
| DudeFace | I haven't been able to find anything free | 00:41 |

| sil3nt|warri0r | i tried the file cmd | 01:07 |
| EvilResistance | velvet_: call your system manufacturer | 01:07 |
| EvilResistance | velvet_: it sounds like you fubar'd your board | 01:08 |
| hhhzzzarn | velvet: doesn't you BIOS have the option to change boot ordeR? | 01:08 |
| seven | hey, I'm having connection issues on my new install of 10.04. let me get it open and tell you the exact issue | 01:08 |
| skilz | checking for GTK... no | 01:08 |
| Tech-1 | heh | 01:08 |
| skilz | configure: error: Package requirements (gtk+-2.0 >= 2.16) were not met: | 01:08 |
| sil3nt|warri0r | it says " x86 boot sector; partition 1: ID=0x6, starthead 1, startsector 32, 1003488 sectors, extended partition table (last)\011, code offset 0x0 " | 01:08 |
| velvet_ | EvilResistance: Damn, would they be any help if I'm eons beyond warranty? | 01:08 |
| velvet_ | hhhzzzarn: Yes it does, why? | 01:08 |
| skilz | How do I fix this? | 01:08 |
| BatteryState | So, fresh install of Ubuntu 11.10. Won't boot - gets stuck at "Checking battery state...". What do? | 01:09 |
| EvilResistance | velvet_: unlikely. not without some type of payment. | 01:09 |
| kandinski | BatteryState: try to run it without the battery plugged in | 01:09 |
| hhhzzzarn | velvet: press the keys to go into your BIOS and change the order of boot so external drives are booted before HD | 01:09 |
| kandinski | just on grid power | 01:09 |
| BatteryState | kandinski: it's a Desktop. The only battery is the cmos. | 01:09 |
| velvet_ | hhhzzzarn: Alright I'll try it in a second, how would that help though if I'm making it boot from usb? | 01:10 |
| kandinski | BatteryState: maybe change that? | 01:10 |
| velvet_ | EvilResistance: Safe to assume this is beyond the computer repair people at best buy? | 01:10 |
| hhhzzzarn | because, on my laptop, booting from external devices was disabled and the boot order was after hd | 01:10 |
| hhhzzzarn | so the usb was never booted | 01:10 |
| BatteryState | kandinski: you want me to pop out the mobo battery and see if it boots? | 01:10 |
| hhhzzzarn | i changed it and installed ubuntu on my netbook. | 01:10 |
| kandinski | BatteryState: it's what I would do | 01:11 |
| EvilResistance | velvet_: pretty much, they'd likely recommend hardware replacement, if it is indeed your board. | 01:11 |
| EvilResistance | velvet_: did you get the BIOS update from the system manufacture? | 01:11 |
| EvilResistance | manufacturer* | 01:11 |
| EvilResistance | or board manufacturer? | 01:11 |
| velvet_ | Ah no I don't have that problem, hhhzzzarn I'm able to boot from the USB, it's just I'm unable to install the OS to my hard-drive | 01:11 |
| velvet_ | EvilResistance: system. Got it from Lenovo | 01:11 |
| EvilResistance | velvet_: read my last questions | 01:11 |
| hhhzzzarn | velvet : oh i see. | 01:11 |
| EvilResistance | velvet_: ah. | 01:11 |
| seven | before I type all of this out, can someone help me with my network connection issue? | 01:11 |
| BatteryState | any other takers on what to do when booting always gets stuck at "Checking battery state..."? I have a feeling it's got next to nothing to do with the battery - just whatever comes next hasn't printed yet. | 01:12 |
| hhhzzzarn | velvet: so you can see the live cd os? | 01:12 |
| velvet_ | hhhzzzarn: Right now I'm booted up from the usb | 01:12 |
| velvet_ | I can see it, not installing it | 01:12 |
| hhhzzzarn | so what happens when you click install? | 01:12 |
| seven | so I want to connect to an internet connection, but nothing to connect to is even showing up. | 01:13 |
| Jordan_U | velvet_: Can you pastebin the output of "dmesg"? | 01:13 |
| seven | like, there is nothing to connect to at all. | 01:13 |
| seven | wired/wireless/EVERYTHIng is blank | 01:13 |
| hhhzzzarn | seven, driver maybe? | 01:13 |
| velvet_ | hhhzzzarn: I select language, click next on the "Basic Storage Drives" part, and then it hangs. Jordan_U Sure thing give me a second | 01:14 |

| EvilResistance | vladimirsanchez: can we help you? | 01:23 |
| vladimirsanchez | awesome! | 01:23 |
| seven | hhhzzzarn: Were you asking me if I was running ubuntu 10 with the CD at this very moment? | 01:23 |
| vladimirsanchez | EvilResistance: setting up Ubuntu on PPC powerbook | 01:23 |
| vladimirsanchez | all is fine but wlan0 | 01:23 |
| Gooses | hhhzzzarn >> giving that a shot | 01:24 |
| vladimirsanchez | cant figure howto find my wireless router to get a DHCP IP | 01:24 |
| hhhzzzarn | seven, I was asking if you tried ubuntu 11 cd on that computer that had no internet connection? | 01:24 |
| vladimirsanchez | EvilResistance: sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "MYNETWORK" | 01:24 |
| vladimirsanchez | EvilResistance: did that | 01:25 |
| seven | hhhzzarn, I hadn't yet. It's downloading now. But I had looked up this problem before and it said it could be fixed through commands. | 01:25 |
| EvilResistance | vladimirsanchez: you're free to address your statements to the *channel* and not me :/ | 01:25 |
| seven | something like auto eth0 or something | 01:25 |
| vladimirsanchez | EvilResistance: but dont know how to spec the password and howto get an IP | 01:25 |
| hhhzzzarn | it always can. i wound;t know. | 01:25 |
| vladimirsanchez | ok | 01:25 |
| hhhzzzarn | i had this problem where my wireless was off and I had to find the command to turn it on through the hardware. | 01:26 |
| Gooses | hhhzzzarn >> Installed but get an alert when loading that says, "You are running a Silverlight 4 application, you may experience incompatibilities as Moonlight does not have full support for this runtime yet." | 01:26 |
| hhhzzzarn | gooses, I don't use silverlight/moonlight so wouldn't know. | 01:26 |
| Jordan_U | Gooses: That message is not reffering to Firefox, it's reffering to the Moonlight application (the one on the website). | 01:27 |
| hhhzzzarn | btw, i am leaving now. I think there should more specialist channels instead of one big channel. | 01:27 |
| Gooses | hhhzzzarn >> they have a channel, heading over there to ask | 01:27 |
| seven | hhhzzzarn, I fear that is my problem. My wireless connection light normally shows white when on, but it shows red (off) only in ubuntu. | 01:27 |
| vladimirsanchez | i refuse to decommission my PB17-G4 and instead decided to install Ubuntu10 to continue using it.. | 01:27 |
| puff | Hm, I followed the ubottu cloning instructions and dumped my package list. | 01:27 |
| hhhzzzarn | seven, that command was hard to find. | 01:28 |
| Gooses | Jordan_U >> Yes, ic, it's a moonlight issue, I get the same in Chrome, so not a browser issue. | 01:28 |
| vladimirsanchez | but now that all installed I need to setup the network to get updates and new packages.. | 01:28 |
| vladimirsanchez | also to access Git | 01:28 |
| hhhzzzarn | but it is on the internet, | 01:28 |
| puff | Hm, I followed the ubottu cloning instructions and dumped my package list. Now I just did the first step (--schedule-only install) of the package list and I'm getting a *bunch* of "No candidate version found for libfoo" messages. My old systen was 10.4 LTS, the new is 11.10, maybe I'd be better off just reinstalling the apps one by one. | 01:29 |
| seven | hhhzzzarn, what should I do in the meantime? if this truly is the issue putting U11 in likely won't work. | 01:29 |
| puff | How do I undo the "sudo aptitude --schedule-only install" step? | 01:29 |
| Jordan_U | puff: Indeed, it's not meant for cross version stuffs. | 01:29 |
| Jordan_U | puff: My guess is that "sudo apt-get -f install" would do it but I'm not sure. | 01:30 |
| puff | Jordan_U: well, what if I just want to back out the step I just did, and clear any of the scheduled-but-not-installed packages? | 01:30 |

| LnxSlck | fellayaboy, don't think so | 02:06 |
| fellayaboy | LnxSlck, is their a program that can do that? | 02:06 |
| LnxSlck | fellayaboy, linux program? don't think so | 02:06 |
| fellayaboy | ok thanks | 02:07 |
| LnxSlck | fellayaboy, you can boot whit a windows repair dvd or something | 02:07 |
| LnxSlck | fellayaboy, hirenboot might help you with that | 02:07 |
| fellayaboy | is thier a command to pm someone directly from this chatline box | 02:07 |

| mukti | I'm running 10.04, how do I enable multitouch (two finger scrolling) for my touchpad? | 02:09 |
| minsikcho | mukti: you can change it in mouse settings | 02:09 |
| minsikcho | mukti: the default should be edge scrolling, as i remember | 02:10 |
| kalle3 | windows xp is rad | 02:10 |
| minsikcho | mukti: changing it to two-finger scroll will enable that | 02:10 |
| mukti | minsikcho: it is grayed out | 02:10 |
| SetiAmon | hey | 02:10 |
| minsikcho | mukti: what do you mean by gray out? do you mean that you can't select that? | 02:11 |
| mukti | yes | 02:11 |
| SetiAmon | whats up with ndisgtk I did what it said and it says 'hardware found' but i can't see/log into any wireless networks?I tried rebooting | 02:11 |
| mukti | minsikcho: yes | 02:11 |
| minsikcho | mukti: then it might be a touchpad that ubuntu driver doesn't support right.... | 02:11 |
| borisd | sheeps_: network manager should try to get the dns from your dhcp server. Maybe this is not working anymore | 02:11 |
| soreau | SetiAmon: Why are you trying to use ndiswrapper? | 02:12 |
| mukti | I used to have 10.10 on this machine, and it had two finger support. | 02:12 |
| Faqtotum | LnxSlck: well, how? | 02:12 |
| minsikcho | mukti: is your laptop made after 10.04 was made? | 02:12 |
| borisd | anyway, you can force the conf by adding a file in your /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/ dir | 02:12 |
| LnxSlck | Faqtotum, well download it, burn it into a cd and try it | 02:13 |
| usr13_ | soreau: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/ndisgtk | 02:13 |
| soreau | usr13_: I'm not the one that's having trouble | 02:13 |
| Faqtotum | LnxSlck: burn the dvd to a cd? is that even possible? | 02:13 |
| usr13_ | soreau: Me neither :) | 02:13 |
| SetiAmon | yeah | 02:13 |
| SetiAmon | ndisgtk | 02:13 |
| minsikcho | mukti: after 2010 April? | 02:13 |
| soreau | SetiAmon: Why are you trying to use ndiswrapper? | 02:13 |
| SetiAmon | I am going by the walkthrew for my usb driver | 02:13 |
| SetiAmon | if i use the 32bit driver(on x64 linux btw) it says 'hardware found" but doesn't work.if i use the x64 .inf it says no hardware found | 02:14 |
| SetiAmon | lsusb see's it fine | 02:14 |
| soreau | -_- | 02:14 |
| soreau | Guess it's that time of the week again | 02:15 |
| usr13_ | SetiAmon: You can only use 32bit software if you have 32bit libraries. | 02:15 |
| minsikcho | mukti: what's your laptop's name or model? | 02:15 |
| soreau | Where people can't understand or convey anything useful | 02:15 |
| SetiAmon | I want to use the x64 drivers | 02:15 |
| fellayaboy | when it comes to chmod 007: world...does that affect ssh clients? | 02:16 |
| usr13_ | SetiAmon: What does lspci say about your wireless card? | 02:16 |
| fellayaboy | who does world 007 affect? | 02:16 |
| usr13_ | soreau: You seem to be doing ok at it. | 02:16 |
| LnxSlck | does anyone have the default grub image for ubuntu 11.10 ?? | 02:16 |
| soreau | usr13_: I'm not you're average person but I'm about to join the crowd | 02:17 |
| LargePrime | ubuntu 11.10 I am trying to configure a SSH server to accept my RSA key. | 02:17 |
| usr13_ | LnxSlck: What do you mean "the default grub image"? | 02:17 |
| soreau | usr13_: lspci says nothing about his usb device | 02:17 |
| LnxSlck | usr13_, when grub boots up it has an image on the background. mine got changed to a debian image | 02:18 |
| LnxSlck | usr13_, i want the one that comes with ubuntu by default | 02:18 |
| Jordan_U | LnxSlck: sudo apt-get remove deskto-base | 02:18 |
| SetiAmon | lspci i don't have a pci card only a usb wifi | 02:18 |
| Jordan_U | LnxSlck: s/deskto/desktop/ | 02:18 |
| Faqtotum | so i ask again: | 02:18 |
| Faqtotum | is it possible to upgrade from natty to oneiric from the dvd? | 02:18 |
| LnxSlck | Jordan_U, what will that remove? | 02:18 |
| LnxSlck | Faqtotum, i believe so | 02:18 |
| Faqtotum | LnxSlck: well, how? | 02:18 |
| LnxSlck | Faqtotum, adding the sources to the dvd | 02:18 |
| Faqtotum | LnxSlck: tried that. it sees only 12 pkgs | 02:19 |
| LnxSlck | Faqtotum, i mean,put the dvd as a source instead of http... | 02:19 |
| Faqtotum | the upgrader never asks http or dvd | 02:19 |
| seven | hi, my "network manager" icon has disappeared. D: | 02:19 |
| seven | how do I get it back where it was? | 02:19 |
| Faqtotum | it just assumes http | 02:19 |
| Jordan_U | LnxSlck: "apt-cache show desktop-base" has a good description. Among other Debian (and not Ubuntu) things it has the Debian Desktop background which is configured to be used if it exists. | 02:19 |
| Jordan_U | LnxSlck: s/Desktop background/grub background/ | 02:20 |
| LnxSlck | Jordan_U, so removing desktop-base will remove gnome? | 02:21 |
| LnxSlck | Jordan_U, how come? | 02:21 |
| seven | anyone? can someone help me? | 02:21 |
| Jordan_U | LnxSlck: No. Did you read the output of "apt-cache show desktop-base"? | 02:21 |
| Faqtotum | seven: are you on the first created account? | 02:21 |
| LnxSlck | seven, run it again | 02:21 |
| LnxSlck | seven, nm-applet or something | 02:21 |
| usr13_ | LnxSlck: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#GRUB_2_Splash_Images | 02:22 |
| LnxSlck | Jordan_U, yes | 02:22 |
| LnxSlck | generic stuff for debian desktops | 02:22 |
| Jordan_U | LnxSlck: Why do you think removing desktop-base would remove GNOME then? | 02:22 |
| Faqtotum | seven: if you create a new user acct, or use the guest user, you might not get the icon | 02:22 |
| LnxSlck | Jordan_U, but when i type apt-get remove desktop-base it says it's going to remove gnome and gnome-core | 02:23 |
| seven | I just installed ubuntu on my computer. the icon was there beforehand. I don't know what I did to make it go away. | 02:23 |
| seven | but it's disabled, and I need to re-enable it again. | 02:23 |
| seven | I have nm-applet open right now, and I see no way to enable networking. | 02:23 |
| LnxSlck | seven, you need to set it to run whenever you login | 02:23 |
| Jordan_U | LnxSlck: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo apt-get -f install" and "sudo apt-get remove desktop-base"? (You don't need to select "yes" when prompted if you want to remove, just the output up to that point is enough) | 02:24 |
| LnxSlck | Jordan_U, i got it :) the gnome and gnome-core where themes | 02:24 |

| urlin2u | lauratika, that is why the swap is to. | 02:29 |
| SetiAmon | so anyhow about ndisgtk.I fallowed the instructions.after loading up the inf it says 'hardware present,YES" so shouldn't it just work from there on? | 02:29 |
| SetiAmon | i'm in 11.10 in gnome shell btw | 02:29 |
| lauratika | which means?... that everything is working as expected? | 02:29 |
| urlin2u | lauratika, the free m is for access gparted reads differently. | 02:29 |
| urlin2u | lauratika, yep all good as far as I know. :D | 02:30 |
| minsikcho | hi anyone know how to change the font of gnome-shell? | 02:30 |
| minsikcho | i'm at ubuntu oneiric. | 02:30 |
| lauratika | ok thanx | 02:31 |
| urlin2u | minsikcho, the gnome tweak tool aka advanced settings will do that. May need to be installed as gnome tweak tool. | 02:31 |
| urlin2u | minsikcho, I know sounds counter do to the gnome name but it is the basic font controller. | 02:33 |
| mukti | How do I get Nvidia graphics drivers? In Arch, I was able to just get them by installing nvidia and nvidia-utils | 02:34 |
| _Faqtotum | mukti: nvidia-glx | 02:35 |
| Jordan_U | mukti: Use the "Additional Drivers" tool, which will not only install the driver packages, but also configure X to use them. | 02:36 |
| Jordan_U | mukti: Along with selecting the right driver package for your card. | 02:36 |

| mukti | usr13_: thanks | 02:38 |
| Jordan_U | mukti: That doesn't bode well. Usually when jockey doesn't present any drivers there is a reason. Are you saying that Arch worked with Nvidia drivers with this exact same hardware? | 02:38 |
| amvie | it says could not find the main class | 02:38 |
| mukti | Yes, and the drivers showed when I was running 10.10 | 02:38 |

| teaparty4lyf | Hello. When I play mkv files on mplayer the audio is out of sync. | 02:51 |
| teaparty4lyf | How do I fix this? | 02:51 |
| bubbles| | i have evnery entry in aptitude twice, why is that? | 02:52 |
| edbian | teaparty4lyf, use vlc player, it allows you to bump the audio forward and backward in time | 02:52 |
| teaparty4lyf | edbian, VLC cannot adequately play mkv files so I have to use mplayer | 02:52 |
| edbian | teaparty4lyf, really? I'm pretty sure VLC can play anything | 02:52 |

| horse | im familiar with acronis universal universal restore / true image echo, where u can do just that with windows OS and it will switrch out the drivers whilst it restores and image of said hdd. the newest version has explizit linux support but unfortunately im only in hold of the 2010 version which doesnt have the support for linux (afaik?).

| Random832 | back in the old days when you compiled a kernel with specific drivers maybe not | 03:37 |

The computer itself turns on, but the monitor does not come on, and it does not respond to keyboard commands. I'm also not able to pick it up with a network scan. What's the best way to debug this? | 03:37 |
| savid | Is there any way to get a log of when the computer crashed? | 03:38 |
| horse | i just fear it possibly could do more damage than good.. | 03:38 |
| Random832 | i'm not sure how - if it doesn't boot, it doesn't boot | 03:39 |
| Ruzu | Hello gents... I'm having an issue, presumably with the Unity env. Whenever I minimize Google Chrome it "disappears" and Unity seems to stop tracking it, and whenever I launch it from the dock I just get a new process. I then have to killall in bash to get rid of all the processes... anyone know what's up? :] | 03:39 |
| lazboy1000 | pnorman: Ok. Thank you so much! (I've been trying to figure this out for the last few hours, and, of course, nothing. :/ ) | 03:39 |
| pnorman | lazboy1000: I can't find a 11.10 image. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCDownloads has links to a 10.10 PPC image | 03:39 |
| pnorman | Ruzu: You want to look at logs for what happened before you hard-restarted it. try in /var/log | 03:40 |
| horse | im not very keen with those things, i just thought it would somehow reconfigiure things, or tried to and messes up in tghe process. anyway ill just try it. | 03:40 |
| horse | thanks again | 03:41 |
| conntrack | hmm, i must have overwritten the create_mysql file that creates the scheme for the snort database. doh! | 03:41 |
| pnorman | lazboy1000: If you read over that as well as https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ it might get you started. My old macs are *very* old macs | 03:41 |
| SetiAmon | hey i'm rather confused | 03:41 |
| SetiAmon | I did the whole ndiswrapper thing for my new wifi adapter | 03:41 |
| SetiAmon | it see's it,i mean it says hardware is present etc but i get no wifi,since i have never done this before i might just be missing something can anyone help me | 03:42 |
| pnorman | I wonder if ubuntu can run on a Mac Plus. :D | 03:42 |
| SetiAmon | I mean after ndiswrapper -i and its installed,what else do i do?how do i get it to work? iwconfig see's no wlan0 | 03:42 |
| Random832 | pnorman: lolno. I don't think linux-m68k has _ever_ been made to work on something _that_ old/small | 03:43 |

| gasull | Hi. I have used BackInTime to back up my system: /etc, /home, /usr, /var and some other directories. I installed a new hard, installed Ubuntu, then tried to restore old system with BackInTime. I get errors after rebooting and system is unusable. How do I properly restore the old system in a new hard drive? | 03:43 |
| lazboy1000_ | oops sorry | 03:44 |
| pnorman | Random832: I also have a Color Classic, IIfx and a couple clones | 03:44 |
| Random832 | http://www.jagshouse.com/Linuxm68k.html indicates debian works on an SE/30 | 03:44 |
| Random832 | a plus isn't a _huge_ stretch from there | 03:45 |
| Random832 | http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/linux-on-a-mac-plus-28831/ | 03:45 |
| pnorman | Random832: SE/30 has an 030 chip - plus has 68000 | 03:46 |
| urlin2u | gasull, so does back in time save just files or the whole OS? | 03:46 |
| Random832 | pnorman: ok, apparently you need at least an 020 according to the last post in that link | 03:46 |
| pnorman | Random832: Also, you need the add-on FPU | 03:46 |
| Random832 | problem is lack of an MMU | 03:46 |
| skilz_ | whats a really light weight mp3 player? | 03:46 |
| Random832 | linux ran fine on 386 systems with no FPU. the deal-breaker is the MMU. | 03:47 |
| gasull | urlin2u: BackInTime saves the directories and files you tell it to | 03:48 |
| pnorman | Random832: But it's calling for a FPU and PMMU. It looks like the FPU is needed because of a processor bug, but that might only impact 040s | 03:48 |
| gasull | urlin2u: I guess the right question is: does anybody know how to restore an old system in a new hard drive? | 03:48 |
| urlin2u | gasull, it also does the full OS so you just saved the files not the OS. | 03:48 |
| pnorman | Random832: The SE/30 is oddly named. /30 normally refers to hard drive size, they used x to denote an 030. So it should properly be called the SEx | 03:49 |
| lazboy1000_ | pnorman: could you send me that link again? My laptop's power died unexpectedly. :/ | 03:49 |
| Random832 | pnorman: I can't imagine why they didn't. | 03:49 |
| pnorman | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCDownloads and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ | 03:50 |
| gasull | urlin2u: I installed Ubuntu from a USB drive, then tried the restore the old system over it | 03:50 |
| JZApples | After upgrading to 11.10 after awhile my audio gets all garbled and I need to restart pulseaudio. Is this a known issue? I had trouble in 11.04 too. | 03:50 |
| urlin2u | gasull, okay it is a rysync based back up which is okay, did you just save the home, and is that accessible from the back up it sounds like you sort of just assumed a lot here. When doing this you want to save a list of all the installs, and the apt/sources.list so that you have the same basic setup to slide the saved home in. Otherwise you do a full OS back up which clonezilla is really good at. | 03:53 |
| lazboy1000_ | pnorman: Thank you so much! | 03:53 |
| SetiAmon | hmm | 03:53 |
| pnorman | lazboy1000_: I run a PPC mac for my old server | 03:53 |
| SetiAmon | nothing i can do seems to work | 03:53 |
| SetiAmon | Does anyone know how to get my wnda3100 v2 bcm4323 wifi usb adapter to work | 03:53 |
| urlin2u | gasull, in other words just saving home wont make the same system without some other tools. | 03:54 |
| gasull | urlin2u: I know. I saved /home, /etc, /var, /usr, /boot and some other stuff. It's the list of recommended things to backup in #debian. | 03:55 |
| gasull | urlin2u: my hard drives are encrypted, BTW | 03:55 |
| urlin2u | gasull, well I'm really just familiar with saving home or just cloning just trying to see where your at hopefuly somebody will know more. | 03:56 |
| gasull | urlin2u: How do people do when their hard drive crashes? | 03:56 |
| pnorman | gasull: backups! (ya right) | 03:56 |
| gasull | urlin2u: OK. Thank you for your help. | 03:56 |
| gasull | backups! | 03:57 |
| gasull | !backups | 03:57 |
| ubottu | There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 03:57 |
| pnorman | I should set up automatic backups on my server. only problem is the amount of data | 03:57 |
| urlin2u | gasull, I just clone my HD every so often with clonezilla deal done then and have everything also saved off the HD on a external with grsync home that is and everything else I want to save media....etc | 03:57 |

| JZApples | urlin2u, yes | 04:22 |
| MaximLevitsky | I am 100% sure it won't compile on modern gcc | 04:23 |
| zlati | guys can i ask you something ? | 04:23 |
| urlin2u | JZApples, so the unity panel does not recess or it comes out on top off vlc? | 04:23 |
| JZApples | urlin2u, it recesses, but the video doesn't cover the blank space | 04:24 |
| Jordan_U | MaximLevitsky: Why are you compiling a 2.4 kernel? A 2.4 kernel will not work with any version of Ubuntu. | 04:26 |

| csdserver | is there a way to get ubunut to stop nagging me for administrative passwords without removing passwords altogether? | 04:26 |
| JZApples | i was not expecting all these problems when upgrading from 11.04 to 11.10 | 04:26 |
| JZApples | i went though all this when I first installed 11.04 | 04:27 |
| urlin2u | csdserver, when are you speaking of the nagging? | 04:27 |
| JZApples | is there an easy way to restore back to before the 11.10 upgrade? | 04:27 |
| csdserver | urlin2u, updates & new software installs | 04:27 |
| urlin2u | JZApples, you can't downgrade, you don't remember the fixes since this has happened before. | 04:27 |
| csdserver | you can downgrade, just back up your information, stick a 11.04 disk in and reinstall ;) | 04:28 |
| urlin2u | csdserver, that is the nature of the distro, and what makes it safer, your not a super user without a password. | 04:28 |
| JZApples | urlin2u, what if I use simple backup? can i do a restore? | 04:28 |
| JaymesKeller | Hi, I'm having some trouble with installing x86 packages on 11.10. When I try to install one, it wants to remove almost everything. Is that normal? | 04:29 |
| urlin2u | JZApples, not really you could save the home the important files like media...etc but not sure about actually putting home back in with success. | 04:30 |
| tauren | I had Ubuntu 11.10 running properly with Unity. Then I ran "compizconfig-settings-manager". When I clicked onto "Preferences" on the right side, everything when crazy and I lost Unity. | 04:30 |
| tauren | Now rebooting, I still don't have unity. Just a blank desktop. It seems like nautilus is running. | 04:30 |
| urlin2u | JZApples, if you had these problems with natty and fixed them I suspect you will again on a reinstall. | 04:30 |
| JZApples | urlin2u, it took forever, i'm just learning linux | 04:31 |
| tauren | I didn't change any preferences. I simply clicked onto "Preferences". | 04:31 |
| tauren | any usggestions on how to get unity back? | 04:31 |
| Klojum | Sounds familiar, tauren ... It seems the compiz-manager still needs alot of debugging and fixing. The quickest thing i did was to reinstall, and NOT use compiz-manager after that. | 04:32 |
| === jason is now known as Guest38057 | ||
| urlin2u | tauren, sounds like you turned off unity plugin, boot to the 2d unity or thhe classic if it is there from the login and re tick the plugin, or if you can get a terminal run compiz -reset | 04:32 |
| JZApples | do i have to use pulseaudio? from what I can tell, it doesn't like me | 04:32 |
| === Guest38057 is now known as jasef | ||
| Klojum | You can also try unity --reset , but that didnt work at well also for me... | 04:33 |

| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| urlin2u | tauren, yeah my flub | 04:33 |
| tauren | urlin2u: where do I "tick the plugin"? | 04:34 |
| urlin2u | tauren, compiz --reset wil just restart compiz that works as well though sometimes. | 04:34 |
| urlin2u | tauren, in compizconfig is the unity-plugin I'm assuming it got unticked. | 04:35 |
| Jordan_U | urlin2u: It doesn't just restart compiz, it also resets unity *and compiz* settings. | 04:35 |
| tauren | urlin2u: ok, i'll check that. did unity --reset and am rebooting to see if it fixes it. | 04:35 |
| tauren | urlin2u: unity --reset didn't fix it | 04:36 |
| tauren | logging in again still has nautilus as the shell | 04:36 |
| urlin2u | Jordan_U, cool thanks I just have the fusion-icon on the desktop in natty for when I loose the window headers I have the cube setup. | 04:36 |
| JZApples | can someone help me troubleshoot sound problems in 11.10? | 04:37 |

| JaymesKeller | Hi all, I want to install a 32-bit version of a libary on 11.10. When I try to do so, it wants to break the system. What is the safest way to accomplish the task? | 04:38 |
| tauren | Klojum: yes, I'm in in 2D | 04:38 |
| Jordan_U | JaymesKeller: What is your end goal? | 04:39 |
| Klojum | JaymesKeller: Define "wants to break the system". Does it have a hammer? | 04:39 |
| tauren | Klojum: urlin2u : Running compiz settings manager again | 04:39 |
| tauren | should I enable "Ubuntu Unity Plugin"? | 04:40 |
| JaymesKeller | Jordan_U: I want to install a x86 package through apt-get, but it wants to remove all the packages on the system for some reason. | 04:40 |
| tauren | it gives a warning about conflicts | 04:40 |
| tauren | i can ignore conflicts or resolve them | 04:40 |
| JaymesKeller | tauren: What do I need to do to resolve the conflicts in this case? | 04:40 |
| Klojum | To me, it shows that the compiz-manager is still a work-in-progress... | 04:41 |
| Jordan_U | JaymesKeller: What package? Please give your *end goal*. Also not that vegue references to error messages are not generally useful. Please give the full error messages (using http://pastebin.ubuntu.com for anything more than one line). | 04:41 |
| tauren | Klojum: i agree | 04:41 |

| Klojum | I burnt myself once with the compiz-manager in 11.10, but now I'm gonna wait at least some 6 months so the biggest flukes and bugs can be resolved. | 04:43 |
| tauren | Klojum: urlin2u: solved, thanks! | 04:44 |
| tauren | however, i'm not sure if my key bindings are correct anymore. | 04:44 |
| urlin2u | Klojum, funny works fine here it is just knowing how to use it. | 04:44 |
| urlin2u | tauren, cool | 04:44 |
| tauren | I tried to resolve conflicts, and it complained of several key binding problems. | 04:44 |
| Jordan_U | JaymesKeller: Why are you trying to install the 32 bit version of gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg? This is the last time I ask you for your *end goal* before I ignore you completely. If you're not sure what an end goal is please read http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#goal . | 04:44 |
| Klojum | It's not about knowing how to use it if the darn thing corrupts your Unity-shell for no reason. | 04:45 |
| tauren | urlin2u: I simply ran compiz settings manager and didn't change anything. | 04:46 |
| tauren | urlin2u: when I clicked "preferences" on the left, if fucked everything up | 04:46 |
| tauren | /if/it/ | 04:46 |
| Klojum | So, compiz-manager requires the Ubuntu-unity plugin? Why doesn't it install it itself by default? | 04:47 |
| Klojum | It can see which version of Ubuntu it's running on, right? | 04:48 |
| === ZeitFight is now known as info | ||
| urlin2u | tauren, strange that shoudn't happen I have had virtually no problems other than loosing the window header on occasion which is fixed with a compiz restart, but I originally used a web link to set up the cube and followed the directions, and customized the set up more and jusat save that script it has run from natty to the precise in develpment now. | 04:49 |
| tauren | urlin2u: this is the 2nd time this same problem happened to me. the first time, i didn't know how to fix it. so i created a new user and am now using the new user. | 04:50 |
| ian_mac2 | is there anything obvious I could be missing if my upstart job doesn't start after boot is finished? | 04:50 |
| tauren | but this time I didn't want to deal with that again, and now I realized what caused teh problem. | 04:50 |

Mangled English is hard for non-native English speakers. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/abbreviations/ for more information. | 04:56 |
| Klojum | There you can specify sizes and boot partition settings | 04:56 |
| Guest55635 | okay. but then I'm not sure how to configure stuff like LVM and encryption | 04:57 |
| Klojum | Geez.. it's 5.56am here. Give me a break.. lol | 04:57 |
| Guest55635 | sorry | 04:57 |
| mouser | I don't get ANY sound at all - no static, no hiss, no pops, no clicks.. dead silence only.... any ideas? (yes, the speakers are working and turned on) | 04:57 |
| Guest55635 | it's onyl 12 here | 04:57 |
| kg | 12:57 here | 04:57 |
| Klojum | Don't worry, I was talking to jasef/ubottu ... | 04:57 |
| jasef | jasef/ubottu apologizes :P | 04:58 |
| Guest55635 | so the thing is, when i tried to do it manually, it made me encrypt each partition separately | 04:58 |
| Guest55635 | that is, i had to enter the password like 3 or 4 times (x2), once for each partition | 04:58 |
| Guest55635 | because i set them to primary partitions | 04:58 |
| Guest55635 | and i didn't know how to create a separate /boot partition either | 04:59 |
| Klojum | I don't remember the partitioner encrypt every partition by default.. | 04:59 |
| Guest55635 | if i wanted to set up 1 primary partition for /boot, and one logical partition for /, /home and /swap, and then encrypt the entire logical partion once, what is the sequence of the config i have to run? | 05:00 |
| urlin2u | Guest55635, so why do you need a separate boot partition, actually you should just use the home and root=/ method the separate home and root is not really advised anymore. | 05:01 |
| Guest55635 | well.. firstly, i need a separate boot partition because i can't encrypt the boot partition. I'm told I can't boot from an encrypted partition | 05:02 |
| Guest55635 | secondly, when I say /home, i just mean a separate partition for my data | 05:02 |
| Guest55635 | i could technically just put /home in /, but what i really want is another partition for my data which i don't have to delete should i wipe / | 05:03 |
| Klojum | Create the / , /boot and /swap partitions as primary, the /home as secondary/extended partition | 05:03 |
| urlin2u | Guest55635, hehe it helps to say what you mean if you want actual help, a regular encrypted ? will have the swap encrypted and boots with grub in the mbr, you can have the personal partition encrypted with truecrypt or probably some ubu tu type. | 05:04 |
| Guest55635 | right.. that's what i tried to do originally, but then I was forced to encrypt each one separately (except the /boot) | 05:04 |
| urlin2u | ?=/ Guest55635 | 05:05 |
| Guest55635 | sorry. i guess i'm just using whatever encryption software they're offering in this install | 05:06 |
| jasef | Guest55635, what are you trying to achieve by the encryption? Just protecting your own data? If so, then wouldn't encrypting /home be enough? | 05:06 |
| mouser | I am getting no sound from sound card 01:07.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10k1 (rev 08) - any ideas? | 05:06 |
| Klojum | Which Ubuntu version forces you to encrypt all partitions? | 05:06 |
| theadmin | Klojum: There's no such version... | 05:07 |
| Guest55635 | i read somewhere that data can be left on swap even after you shut down. also, if i keep passwords, it'll be in the user settings somewhere on / | 05:07 |
| Klojum | Yeah, i was scratching my head already | 05:07 |
| Guest55635 | so i was told i should encrypt everything (except boot | 05:07 |
| Klojum | Must be all dangerous information that you want to store on that pc.. hehe | 05:09 |
| Guest55635 | (or maybe i'm wrong... I'm pretty noob at this sort of stuff. So if I'm saying something crazy, please let me know) | 05:09 |
| Guest55635 | yeah.. =] | 05:09 |
| theadmin | Guest55635: You shouldn't encrypt boot-essential folders. | 05:09 |
| theadmin | Guest55635: i.e. /boot, /bin, /lib, /etc | 05:09 |
| mouser | what is the probability that upgrading from ubuntu 10.10 to 11.04 will fix my audio problem? | 05:10 |
| mouser | very slim? | 05:10 |
| theadmin | mouser: Slim. Whereas the possibility of the upgrade breaking something is rather high. | 05:10 |
| Klojum | mouser: you can always try the live version first, and see if it works | 05:10 |
| Guest55635 | so in that case, would you guys recommend just encrypting /home and /swap, and leaving / unencrypted? | 05:11 |
| Klojum | would encrypting /swap, if possible at all, not slow down your machine a lot? | 05:12 |
| urlin2u | Guest55635, so who told you all this is this a class thing? | 05:12 |
| Cyborg | encrypting slowed down my machine, but not swap. | 05:12 |
| Guest55635 | i just read this stuff off the internets | 05:13 |
| Guest55635 | i can't really give you a link per se. I've read so many different website about partitioning and encrypting already. it's like knowledge of this stuff accumulated over the last 24 hours. | 05:14 |
| JustMozzy | hi guys | 05:14 |
| Klojum | So if there are 'things' you can read in the newspaper, they are all true? | 05:14 |
| JustMozzy | I have questin on ubuntu 11.10. is there any way to replace gcc-4.x with gcc-3.4? | 05:14 |
| urlin2u | Guest55635, nice cover so nothing to due with the Princeton.edu address your using? If your advised on the web generally there are full instructions. | 05:14 |
| bubbles| | how can i check the contents of packages in the command line` | 05:15 |
| Guest55635 | wait. i'm confused | 05:15 |
| mouser | my tooth hurts | 05:15 |
| Guest55635 | so you guys think i'm somehow trying to cheat for a class by asking how to partition an hard drive? and whether i should encrypt /home /swap etc??/ | 05:16 |
| urlin2u | Guest55635, no just curious, no biggie. | 05:16 |
| Guest55635 | okay.. so right now, is the recommendation to not encrypt anything but /home? | 05:18 |
| Klojum | i think it's a good start | 05:18 |
| jose__ | hola | 05:18 |
| shaheenery | Ummm, I don't see a channel topic, okay to just ask a question in here? | 05:18 |

| jose__ | si (yes) | 05:21 |
| Guest55635 | true true.. okay.. I'll go and try it. just encrypt /home and nothing else | 05:21 |

| Geoffrey2 | when I boot up the computer from the hard drive, Xubuntu loads up, and instead of a desktop screen filling the whole screen, I get one copy in the upper left, filling about 60% of the screen, with a duplicate of it painted right below, and the righ side of the screen is completely blank, plus the screen keeps flashing white.....when i boot from the live cd installed on a usb stick, it's fine....but only if I hit F6 for Alternate O | 06:52 |
| Geoffrey2 | ptions, and immediately exit that menu..... | 06:52 |
| bubbles| | theadmin i know, but i mean have you heard anything about this ppa or the person/group behind it? | 06:53 |

| thesuperdudedude | klojum, i made the usb like u said, using XBoot, but the same thing happened. It worked on this computer when i tested it with qemu which came with XBoot | 06:56 |

| Geoffrey2 | Fatal server error: Server is already active for display 0 | 07:00 |
| Klojum | Actual syncing while "on the road", c0ldz3r0 ? | 07:00 |
| theadmin | Geoffrey2: Well, yes, you kinda have to stop X first. | 07:00 |
| c0ldz3r0 | no when im home | 07:00 |
| os_ | Geoffrey2, which tty are using? | 07:01 |
| c0ldz3r0 | is a "home server" | 07:01 |
| Klojum | You could try FreeFileSync, which also has a background syncer | 07:01 |
| c0ldz3r0 | u now if he maintain a list of changes ? | 07:02 |
| Klojum | c0ldz3r0: Not really, it's a fairly basic tool | 07:03 |
| c0ldz3r0 | hmmmm | 07:04 |
| theadmin | c0ldz3r0: How about the good old Git? | 07:04 |
| c0ldz3r0 | git is an ideia but he duplicate the space | 07:04 |
| Klojum | c0ldz3r0: FYI, http://sourceforge.net/projects/freefilesync/ | 07:04 |
| Geoffrey2 | apparently terminal emulator isn't the one I should be doing this in..... | 07:05 |
| c0ldz3r0 | for small library is good but i have 120 gb of music | 07:05 |
| Klojum | you dont move around all 120GB each time... | 07:05 |
| Geoffrey2 | os_, what's the F combo to drop to the tty? | 07:06 |
| theadmin | Geoffrey2: Ctrl-Alt-F2, but stop X anyway, it won't work otherwise | 07:06 |
| jita | How can i make ubuntu 11.10 remember my laptop's brightness? It always resets back to maximum upon rebooting | 07:06 |

| c0ldz3r0 | i will check this freesync | 07:07 |
| Geoffrey2 | ok, the service lightdm stop command? | 07:07 |
| c0ldz3r0 | the most important thing is propagate deletions | 07:07 |

| Ruzu | :( i don't believe you! | 07:12 |
| Naeblis | My Ubuntu is pretty messed up right now. I wanted to change my user account name, and I ran some commands to do it.

| Naeblis | so far, the solutions I've found online haven't worked. | 07:12 |
| Geoffrey2 | this is a new copy of Xubuntu that I installed, since the amount of memory on the laptop was going to make a full blown copy of Ubuntu problematic at best.... | 07:12 |
| Klojum | perhaps the video memory is too small? | 07:13 |

| patatas | Hi. I'm having some trouble with ATI's propietary driver. I installed it from the "Additional drivers" screen. Then when I rebooted and put my username and password in lightdm nothing happens. It's like it tries to open Unity but it can't, so it gets back to lightdm. I took a look at the logs and the only interestng thing I see is a message that says "fglrx: No matching Device section for instance ...". Any ideas? | 07:29 |
| Geoffrey2 | Jordan_U, when i got to the boot menu, I edited the boot options, and completely stripped out one that said gfxpayload=$linux_gfx_mode | 07:29 |

| Evilkiss | My question is: Is somebody here use ubuntu 10.04 and sound through receiver via optical output? | 07:38 |
| zykotick9 | csdserver, "load" isn't a percentage | 07:39 |
| zykotick9 | csdserver, use "top" or "uptime" to see load values | 07:40 |
| csdserver | like 20% of clock cycles being used should be called 20% uptime? | 07:41 |
| theadmin | csdserver: No, "uptime" is how long your computer is running without being powered off, e. g. "2 days, 3 hours, 4 minutes and 5 seconds" | 07:42 |
| Klojum | uptime = length of time that computer is running | 07:42 |

| csdserver | i once went skydiving after transferring some tunes to my ipod. i used nautilus to do this. is that extreme enough? | 07:49 |
| van7hu | I've installed proftpd from source, where would the configuration be? | 07:50 |
| stephni | i move a file to trash and i want to restore it but i can't find trash | 07:50 |
| theadmin | stephni: There's normally an icon for it at the unity dock on the left (the very bottom one) | 07:51 |
| hulaka | When I do "apt-get upgrade" it eventually says that Kadu packages (kadu, kadu-common, kadu-external-modules) have been stopped. Plus Kadu looks shitty ... there's no icon on the dock (only empty space), no icons next to my friends nicknames ... what the hell? | 07:51 |
| stephni | i see the icon but is not opening | 07:51 |
| Klojum | right-click doesn't work, stephni? | 07:51 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Klojum: seems like my nautilus package might be broken. like problems are: can't sftp, can't view trash/computer, nothing "automounts" such as iphone & usb drives. Granted I still just fix this by using cli to mount and sftp and such but nautilus isn't fixed. Problems | 07:52 |
| dc5ala | stephni, open nautilus and look if trash is working there | 07:52 |
| stephni | i right click the only option is 'Empty trash' | 07:52 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | stephni: ls -RA ~/.local/share/Trash/ | 07:52 |
| Klojum | what more option do you want/need? | 07:53 |
| stephni | i need to open it and see the files inside | 07:53 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | stephni: mv -fv ~/.local/share/Trash/* ~/Desktop | 07:54 |
| theadmin | Us3r_Unfriendly: Sounds to me gvfs is freaked up | 07:54 |
| theadmin | Us3r_Unfriendly: Maybe reinstall that, I dunno | 07:54 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | stephni: think we have the same problem lol | 07:55 |
| Klojum | Sometimes it's better to re-install, because it takes up less time than investigating and solving the problem | 07:55 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Klojum: not a good answer. yeah to me that's not an answer but a work around. I want this to be fixed. Maybe like some editing with gconftool | 07:56 |
| aman | yo | 07:57 |
| Klojum | Like i said: sometimes... | 07:57 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | yo aman | 07:57 |
| zykotick9 | theadmin, i wish gvfs was sill in charge of mounting with nautilus -- it's something else now (not sure what it's replacement is called), you have to install non-default packages to get gvfs support - i miss ~/.gvfs mount :( | 07:58 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Klojum: now if my system was completely useless, then I might reinstall. If I reinstall, I'll regret it later. It would be the problem I couldn't fix for the rest of my life. I don't want that lol | 07:58 |
| theadmin | zykotick9: Oh... | 07:58 |
| jita | Does anybody believe that unity is an improvement over gnome? I heard stuff on the contrary all over the internet . | 07:58 |
| theadmin | jita: Over Gnome2? No. But it's better than gnome3, imo | 07:59 |
| jita | theadmin: gnome 2 | 07:59 |
| Klojum | Us3r_Unfriendly: Okay, it's your party. I only made a suggestion :-) | 07:59 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | jita: I still am on 10.10. I have tinkered in unity but I really don't think they offer as many options as gnome 2.32 . But they're still new and someday it will be boss if they keep up on the development | 07:59 |
| * zykotick9 still enjoys a couple more years of gnome2 using debian stable | 08:00 | |
| jita | Us3r_Unfriendly: what sort of issues did you face in unity ? | 08:00 |
| * theadmin enjoys xfce4 :P | 08:00 | |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | you'd think they would have the source code for gnome 2.32 somewhere | 08:00 |
| * Klojum made a leap of faith and is using Unity on the desktop and laptop machines | 08:01 | |
| theadmin | Us3r_Unfriendly: There actually is a fanmade fork of gnome2 called mate-desktop-environment, try googling it | 08:01 |
| jita | Klojum: so what are you impressions about it ? | 08:01 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Unity isn't that bad...it's just not my favorite right now. Someday though | 08:01 |
| rabbi1 | how to search for a hidden file ? | 08:02 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Unity needs more options to the ui. More customization and tweeks | 08:02 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | rabbi1: in nautilus or cli? | 08:02 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | rabbi1: terminal: sudo find ~/ -iname ".*" | 08:02 |
| rabbi1 | nautilus will do ? os sudo nautilus ? | 08:03 |
| rabbi1 | *or | 08:03 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | rabbi1: what's the file name? | 08:03 |
| rabbi1 | ".htaccess " | 08:03 |
| theadmin | rabbi1: You need to hit ctrl-h in nautilus to see hidden files | 08:03 |
| zykotick9 | rabbi1, Us3r_Unfriendly's find command is going to match everything with a . in the name. Is that what you're looking for? | 08:03 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | rabbi1: sudo find / -iname "*.htaccess*" | 08:04 |
| zykotick9 | Us3r_Unfriendly, my bad - hidden file in home dir | 08:04 |
| jita | Unity looks good though | 08:04 |
| rabbi1 | Us3r_Unfriendly: thank you | 08:04 |
| jita | I may try lubuntu too | 08:04 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | rabbi1: no problem | 08:04 |
| jita | has anybody tried lubuntu ? | 08:04 |
| rabbi1 | theadmin: yeah, i can do that when i know the folder where the file is ;) | 08:04 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | zykotick9: rabbi1: I've always had more success with find | 08:04 |
| theadmin | rabbi1: Well, do what they said | 08:04 |
| zykotick9 | Us3r_Unfriendly, but sudo isn't required ;) | 08:04 |
| theadmin | Hamsters. | 08:05 |
| Kadest | Hi. How do I print a cmd like this to file (the output exceeds what xterm will show): find /home/ -name '*.avi' -a -mtime -15 | 08:05 |
| zykotick9 | Kadest, same command then ".. > filenameyouwant.txt" type thing | 08:06 |
| theadmin | Kadest: whatever | tee file (or whatever | sudo tee file) | 08:06 |
| theadmin | Kadest: Or what zykotick9 said. Not as universal though | 08:06 |
| theadmin | Won't work with sudo | 08:06 |
| zykotick9 | theadmin, sudo tee - where does that play into a find command of home (unless it's another user's home dir)? | 08:07 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | "Find" is awesome, when jumping on different os's or different distros that use different environments. Find is still find no matter what. Gui Search changes from environment to environment | 08:07 |
| theadmin | zykotick9: Well, indeed it CAN be another user's home dir :P... But, yeah, it all depends where the file will be located anyway | 08:07 |
| Klojum | Hmmm... "Banshee, Tomboy And Mono Dropped from Ubuntu 12.04 CD. Banshee will be replaced by Rhythmbox for Ubuntu 12.04." according to OMGubuntu. Good, I never did like Banshee... Too many unexplicable freezes. | 08:07 |
| Kadest | if it's me yer talkin bout, I do have to sudo. | 08:07 |
| grendal-prime | hows things? | 08:08 |
| Sidewinder1 | rabbi1, The proper command is gksudo, not sudo, for GUI applications such as nautilus; please see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo for further explanation. :D | 08:08 |
| zykotick9 | use sudo for everything - makes life easier | 08:08 |
| grendal-prime | use sudo -s | 08:08 |
| grendal-prime | onetime | 08:08 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | gksudo vs sudo. permission issues? chmod it! | 08:08 |
| grendal-prime | bam | 08:08 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | I love unix | 08:09 |
| grendal-prime | its like being root...all the time | 08:09 |
| grendal-prime | ya but unix is sooooo 10 years ago | 08:09 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | hey how about this??? su -c "nautilus /home/$USER" ??? | 08:09 |
| Kadest | theadmin, sorry mate I'm all too new to this. can you type it exactly as I would do in the terminal? | 08:09 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | grendal-prime: never goes out of style | 08:09 |
| grendal-prime | sortof it does ... | 08:10 |
| grendal-prime | seriously | 08:10 |
| grendal-prime | just call it all nix...it is what it is | 08:10 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | when your X goes out, then we'll see lol | 08:10 |
| grendal-prime | whats X | 08:11 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | grendal-prime: X?? seriously?? | 08:11 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | xorg | 08:11 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | or are you wayland | 08:11 |
| theadmin | Kadest: It's pretty much... command | tee filename | 08:11 |
| theadmin | Kadest: Or sudo command | tee filename if command requires sudo | 08:12 |
| grendal-prime | xorg would be a desktop thang right? | 08:12 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | grendal-prime: right | 08:12 |
| theadmin | Kadest: Or command | sudo tee filename if access to "filename" requires sudo. | 08:12 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | grendal-prime: well you could install it on a server and have a graphical server interface, but where would be the fun in that anyways? | 08:12 |
| grendal-prime | Us3r_Unfriendly, i fail to see a problem with a windowing system and a os | 08:13 |
| grendal-prime | it is late though | 08:14 |
| grendal-prime | and i am tired | 08:14 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | night night then | 08:14 |
| grendal-prime | i didnt say i was done..just tired | 08:14 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | no problem | 08:15 |
| grendal-prime | we are good then | 08:16 |
| Kadest | theadmin, thank you very much :) | 08:16 |
| theadmin | Hamsters, you two are, seriously. Us3r_Unfriendly: su will not work for GUI apps, nor will sudo -- they will fail to find the X display. use gksudo. | 08:16 |
| grendal-prime | theadmin, is right | 08:17 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | theadmin: i didn't know, never had to | 08:17 |
| theadmin | Us3r_Unfriendly: Also, su won't work on Ubuntu at all, because there is no root password | 08:17 |
| grendal-prime | if you want stuff to run under root in the graphical enviro..just ru with gksudo after all ..someone whent through all the effort to write it. | 08:17 |
| grendal-prime | and it does work | 08:18 |
| theadmin | Or kdesudo if you use KDE | 08:18 |
| grendal-prime | so does ozo though | 08:18 |
| grendal-prime | again he is right | 08:18 |
| grendal-prime | theadmin, your on a roll | 08:19 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | yeah i'm a gksudo guy and a sudo guy for cli | 08:19 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | never tried anything else | 08:19 |
| grendal-prime | must be how you got that nic? | 08:19 |
| === zz_M4rc3l is now known as M4rc3l | ||
| ejv | if you set a root pass, su should work | 08:19 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | i only use su -c when first no access to the /etc/sudoers | 08:19 |

| Us3r_Unfriendly | ejv: agreed. chrooting is fun | 08:28 |
| neo84 | any help is appriciated | 08:28 |
| grendal-prime | his cub scout leader sent him home with one..(wich really kinda bothers me ) | 08:28 |
| tenX | grendal-prime: wife2.0 is not supported on ms rocket home premium systems. you'll have to downgrade to 1.75c before upgrading to 2.1 | 08:28 |
| jita | which irc client is well integerated with unity? | 08:29 |
| ejv | also if you guys noticed, he said he installed ubuntu *after* windows; so all the comments about windows stomping others' bootloaders is a non-sequiter | 08:29 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | ejv: i just had to the other day when I thought it would be funny to set the time out of my /etc/default/grub to 0 seconds lol. after that it always booted into windows since i moved my os-prober to: /etc/grub.d/08_os-prober | 08:30 |
| tenX | grendal-prime: nra here? | 08:30 |
| grendal-prime | tenX, of course. but my understanding is...its a database problem and i can get around the issue if i configure sybase drivers to point to the postgress server i have running on my kvm server in the launch bay. | 08:30 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | jita: irssi or weechat or centerim or xchat, all are good | 08:30 |

I tried the command "boot", it says "no loaded kernel". I... | 08:38 |

| tx9099 | I am getting an error while installing bluez-utils "E: Unable to locate package bluez-pin". I am using linux mint 11 | 08:50 |
| Name141 | Will the next version release already be a LTS? | 08:50 |
| Klojum | Yes, Name141 | 08:50 |
| soreau | ! mint | tx9099 | 08:50 |
| ubottu | tx9099: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 08:50 |
| soreau | ! lts | Name141 | 08:50 |
| ubottu | Name141: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) | 08:50 |
| Name141 | Klojum/ soreau: my point exactly. Why so soon ? | 08:51 |
| tx9099 | I am getting the same problem in ubuntu 11.04 as well so need assistance ubottu | 08:51 |
| soreau | Name141: I believe lts is released every two years, and supported for the following three | 08:51 |
| Stanley00 | Taure: you still there? | 08:51 |
| tx9099 | I am trying to create a bluetooth dialup connection | 08:51 |
| Klojum | Name141: Better hardware support? I dont know, ask Mr. Shuttleworth. | 08:52 |
| xub | Viva Xubuntu ! (test) | 08:52 |
| Name141 | soreau: I see. So generally I could stay on the latest LTS for another year or twoish without risking any security holes ? | 08:52 |
| Name141 | soreau: If I didn't want to mess with the next release | 08:52 |
| grendal-prime | soreau, sounds about right | 08:53 |
| soreau | Name141: Should be fine I presume | 08:53 |
| grendal-prime | im going to bed..i think my wife is naked | 08:53 |
| Taure | I am | 08:53 |
| Name141 | soreau: What about FireFox ending 3 support however soon? Will the LTS upgrade to 7 (or whatever line at that time) ? | 08:53 |
| Klojum | Yes she is, grendal-prime | 08:53 |
| === DemonicData is now known as SetiAmon | ||
| Stanley00 | Taure: first, boot to that "DOS like" screen | 08:53 |
| soreau | Name141: No idea. You probably can get latest firefox from their site though | 08:54 |
| Stanley00 | Taure: then run three commands follow | 08:54 |
| SetiAmon | hmm did userfriendly change his name | 08:54 |
| Stanley00 | Taure: linux /vmlinuz | 08:54 |
| Shirakawasuna | Name141: I think the LTS releases have at least a year of overlap in support | 08:54 |
| Shirakawasuna | yup | 08:54 |
| Stanley00 | Taure: initrd /initrd.img | 08:55 |
| Shirakawasuna | Name141: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS | 08:55 |
| Stanley00 | Taure: boot | 08:55 |
| Name141 | soreau/Shirakawasuna : Ah, I'm just wondering if I should go ahead with a LTS install or current. | 08:55 |
| Taure | I got "file not found" after the first one. | 08:55 |
| Taure | Wait, no, it was a typo | 08:55 |
| Taure | Lol | 08:55 |
| Shirakawasuna | Name141: oh, sorry. Didn't mean to jump into a convo without knowing what's up. | 08:55 |
| Shirakawasuna | Name141: it depends on the purpose of the computer, of course | 08:56 |
| Stanley00 | Taure: you installed ubuntu on Virtual machine? | 08:56 |
| Name141 | soreau/Shirakawasuna : Well, I'm thinking I might as well use a current release if I'm going to try to get off of XP. (or dual boot atleast) since the next release is already going to be a LTS anyway. | 08:56 |
| soreau | Name141: If you're using desktop, you will be affected by unity. Whether that is good or bad may be entirely up to your perception | 08:56 |
| tenX | hey guys, how can you prevent certain packages from being updated via apt (like masking on gentoo) | 08:56 |
| Taure | No, it's on my laptop | 08:56 |
| Name141 | soreau: I don't like unity. | 08:56 |
| Taure | I'm on desktop atm | 08:56 |
| Shirakawasuna | Name141: Is this for a home computer, basic desktop/internet browsing stuff? | 08:56 |
| Sidewinder1 | Name141, Please see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_%28operating_system%29 about half way down the page. And yes, I'm an lts kinda' guy, am currently running 10.04 and it works great! | 08:56 |
| Taure | Okay, I did the three commands | 08:56 |
| Stanley00 | Taure: oh, I see. does it booting now? | 08:57 |
| Stanley00 | s/does/is | 08:57 |
| Name141 | Shirakawasuna: yeah, Steam is on the other/newer machine now | 08:57 |
| soreau | Name141: So you'd need to take into consideration that 11.04 and later has unity by default. 11.10 and later, gnome3 underlying too which means no more legacy gnome-panel | 08:57 |
| Taure | I'm now at another screen. BusyBox v1.18.4 built-in shell | 08:57 |
| tx9099 | I am getting an error while installing bluez-utils "E: Unable to locate package bluez-pin". | 08:57 |
| Shirakawasuna | Name141: OK. Why do you prefer an LTS release over the standard releases? | 08:57 |
| Name141 | soreau: Perhaps I should convert to Xubuntu then? | 08:57 |
| soreau | ! info bluez-pin | tx9099 | 08:58 |
| soreau | !info bluez-pin | tx9099 | 08:58 |
| ubottu | tx9099: Package bluez-pin does not exist in oneiric | 08:58 |
| Stanley00 | Taure: hmm, just a min, maybe I forgot the root option :)) | 08:58 |
| Shirakawasuna | +1 xubuntu | 08:58 |
| Taure | kk | 08:58 |
| soreau | Namachieli: Entirely up to your preference. Try some live sessions to get a feel | 08:58 |
| ajah | how to stop adding entries in my arp table i need only single one for the gw | 08:58 |
| Name141 | Shirakawasuna: Just thought I'd save a few months/years on a distro upgrade hassel. | 08:58 |
| tx9099 | does it "exist" in natty? | 08:58 |
| soreau | tx9099: check packages.ubuntu.com | 08:59 |
| soreau | !info bluez-pin natty | 08:59 |
| Stanley00 | Taure: haha, you also need the root option too, my bad | 08:59 |
| ubottu | Package bluez-pin does not exist in natty | 08:59 |
| === avernos__ is now known as avernos | ||
| Shirakawasuna | Name141: ah. Well each ubuntu release is supported for 18 months, so at worst you'd need to reinstall every 1.5 years if you want to avoid the 6-month release schedule entirely. | 08:59 |
| Stanley00 | Taure: where did you install your ubuntu? sda1 or what else? | 08:59 |
| Taure | sda1, yeah | 08:59 |
| tx9099 | its not there in packages.ubuntu.com | 08:59 |
| simion314 | hi all, i have amacbook, i want to format it clean and dual boot mac osx with kubuntu , i need some pointers now, should i install first ubuntu or mac? how to partition the disk? | 09:00 |
| Shirakawasuna | Name141: Or you can install 11.10 right now, then stick with 12.04 for a long time, as it's LTS. I guess that's what you were planning, yeah? | 09:00 |
| tx9099 | I am referring https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothDialup and I am stuck before even getting started | 09:00 |
| Stanley00 | Taure: now, you need reboot, retype the three commands before, just change thee first command to linux /vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1 | 09:00 |
| Name141 | Shirakawasuna: Ah I dunno. I'm just trying to figure out how to get off of XP without a hassel. And it seems a lot of distros are rolling out Unity with Gnome3. | 09:01 |
| Shirakawasuna | Name141: got it. I suppose it depends on what you consider a hassle, though. I mean, initially installing ubuntu will be pretty simple. | 09:02 |
| Name141 | Shirakawasuna Yeah but I hate the GUI now. | 09:02 |
| Shirakawasuna | Name141: you don't have to use it, you can easily switch to other DEs | 09:02 |
| Shirakawasuna | Name141: lots of choices - GNOME, XFCE, KDE, LXDE, etc. | 09:02 |
| tenX | fluxbox :> | 09:03 |
| Shirakawasuna | yeah, flux | 09:03 |
| Shirakawasuna | I installed plain ubuntu first, then switched to xubuntu (xfce) | 09:03 |
| Taure | Success! | 09:03 |
| asdjaputra | Yay | 09:03 |
| Taure | Thanks very much, Stanley00. | 09:03 |
| Name141 | Shirakawasuna: I was more thinking of the Xubuntu option. Since XFCE isn't all that 'min'. | 09:03 |
| Taure | Will I have to enter those commands every time I turn the computer on? Or is it fixed from now on? | 09:03 |
| Taure | Lol | 09:03 |
| Shirakawasuna | it was as easy as sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop, logging out/logging in to xfce, then sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop && sudo apt-get autoremove | 09:04 |
| Stanley00 | Taure: not yet, after log in, you must run the following command to update grub, "sudo update-grub" | 09:04 |
| dc5ala | simion314, i would start with Mac, install refit, then Ubuntu, partition it with Mac as i had some odd looking partition table when tried with gparted | 09:04 |
| Stanley00 | Taure: that's all ;) | 09:04 |
| Shirakawasuna | Name141: xubuntu is ubuntu + xfce ... ? | 09:04 |
| asdjaputra | Shirakawasuna, yes | 09:04 |
| Name141 | Shirakawasuna: yes. I have neither ISOs downloaded yet, so I think I might as well just start with the Xubuntu ISO ? lol. | 09:04 |
| tx9099 | i want to use my phone as a bluetooth dialup modem and dont have a DUN profile on my phone but I do have SPP profile and I want to use that for dialup purpose | 09:04 |
| Shirakawasuna | Name141: oh yes, definitely. | 09:04 |
| Shirakawasuna | Name141: I recommend xubuntu, since I use it :) | 09:05 |
| Shirakawasuna | it's a pretty straightforward desktop environment | 09:05 |
| Shirakawasuna | and if you eventually want the special desktop effects, you can install compiz to get them | 09:05 |
| tenX | tx9099: DUN? | 09:05 |
| Taure | Okay, grub update done. Time to restart and see if it loads XD | 09:05 |
| Name141 | Shirakawasuna: The down side to that is there is a lot less people in #xubuntu that are alert usually. | 09:05 |
| Name141 | (if I have a question) | 09:05 |
| Shirakawasuna | Name141: yeah but there also aren't very many xubuntu-only problems | 09:05 |
| Stanley00 | Taure: good luck! kk | 09:05 |
| Name141 | True. I guess I'll get to downloading :p | 09:06 |
| tx9099 | Dialup networking, TenX | 09:06 |
| tenX | tx9099: ah shortly before i kind of figured | 09:06 |
| Shirakawasuna | Name141: basically unless it's XFCE or the Indicator applet stuff, it's on-topic for this channel. | 09:06 |
| Taure | It loads! Excellent. It's a thing of beauty. Thanks very much. | 09:06 |
| Shirakawasuna | and even then it's mostly on-topic as well, actually | 09:06 |
| Stanley00 | Taure: you are welcome :) | 09:07 |
| tx9099 | tenX, am referring to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothDialup but its not working, I am stuck at the beginning, I am getting an error "E: Unable to locate package bluez-pin" | 09:07 |
| Shirakawasuna | Name141: so yeah, I would download the xubuntu installation CD for 11.10/oneiric, 64-bit if your computer supports it. Then in April there will be the update to the LTS, which hopefully shouldn't be too painful - just a few dialogs and downloads. Then you can stay with it for another 3 years without updating the core of the OS, just the few apps that get backported (like firefox, chrome, etc) | 09:08 |
| Shirakawasuna | hmm | 09:10 |
| Shirakawasuna | I guess I don't know how LTS upgrades work | 09:10 |
| Shirakawasuna | are the LTS releases designed to be safely upgradeable, e.g. 10.04 -> 12.04, then 12.04 -> 14.04? | 09:10 |
| SetiAmon | hey anyone have wine crash with everything since last update | 09:10 |
| auronandace | Shirakawasuna: yes | 09:11 |
| Shirakawasuna | auronandace: cool | 09:11 |
| kandinski | hi, I have guake configured to use f12 as a trigger, but when I press it nothing happens. Instead, the application that has focus gets the keypress. | 09:12 |
| kandinski | for instance, if I press f12 while in this terminal, this is what I get: 4~4~4~ | 09:12 |
| Shirakawasuna | Name141: so cool. After the update to 12.04, you shouldn't really need to update again until 14.04 if you don't want to. | 09:12 |
| kandinski | can anybody help me to diagnose and fix this? thanks | 09:12 |
| Name141 | Shirakawasuna: I'm still wondering if I should try Wubi or go on with an actual instal too. | 09:12 |
| Shirakawasuna | kandinski: have you logged out since installing guake? | 09:13 |
| Shirakawasuna | Name141: I don't really understand how Wubi works, but I recommend doing the actual install. | 09:13 |
| kandinski | Shirakawasuna: I have. In fact I have copied my info over, deleted my user, and created a new user. I forgot to add that it worked out of the box, but yesterday some bug with gnome panel made me reconfigure everything, and that's when I lost f12 | 09:14 |
| NeuroSerpens | Bored... Someone entertain meh lol. | 09:14 |
| Shirakawasuna | kandinski: ah, shoot. I don't really have any ideas then. | 09:15 |
| gloehoe | Hi, I have a compatible sdhc card reader but when i insert it it doesnt work and get error messages in dmesg. i tried it on windows pc's that are quite old and works on all of them. | 09:15 |
| gloehoe | sdhci: Switching to 1.8V signalling voltage failed, retrying with S18R set to 0 mmc0: Timeout waiting for hardware interrupt | 09:15 |
| Shirakawasuna | kandinski: so you make a new user and guake still won't launch w/ f12? | 09:15 |
| kandinski | Shirakawasuna: yes | 09:15 |
| Shirakawasuna | ouch | 09:15 |
| kandinski | but the terminal gets it | 09:16 |
| Shirakawasuna | kandinski: have you tried changing keys to see if it's some kind of conflict? | 09:17 |
| Shirakawasuna | maybe ctrl+shift+f12 or something | 09:17 |
| kandinski | I have, it didin-t work | 09:17 |
| kandinski | oh, not to ctrl/shift | 09:17 |
| * kandinski tries | 09:17 | |
| kandinski | Shirakawasuna: no dice | 09:20 |
| kandinski | now 4;6~4;6~ | 09:20 |
| kandinski | this is the output I see on the terminal when I hit ctrl-shift-f12 | 09:20 |
| gloehoe | Hi, I have a compatible sdhc card reader but when i insert it it doesnt work and get error messages in dmesg. i tried it on windows pc's that are quite old and works on all of them. | 09:21 |
| gloehoe | sdhci: Switching to 1.8V signalling voltage failed, retrying with S18R set to 0 mmc0: Timeout waiting for hardware interrupt | 09:21 |
| Shirakawasuna | kandinski: so I guess it's just not capturing it | 09:21 |
| kandinski | Shirakawasuna: there is a gnome setting somewhere that's flipped away | 09:22 |
| Shirakawasuna | kandinski: do any other hotkeys work? | 09:23 |
| Shirakawasuna | for example f11 should maximize an open terminal | 09:23 |
| kandinski | f11 does | 09:23 |
| Shirakawasuna | full-screen it, actually | 09:23 |
| Shirakawasuna | k | 09:23 |
| kandinski | so does f10 | 09:23 |
| kandinski | f1 launches help | 09:23 |
| Shirakawasuna | hmm | 09:23 |
| kandinski | ~~~~0~4~ | 09:24 |
| Shirakawasuna | what happens when you launch guake itself from a terminal? | 09:24 |
| Shirakawasuna | does it report any errors? | 09:24 |
| Antonis | Hello folks. I run crontab -e and type "a" to be able to insert text. how do I save and close it then? I type ESC and then :q! but it won't save | 09:24 |
| kandinski | shit | 09:24 |
| kandinski | sorry | 09:24 |
| kandinski | it was not running for some reason | 09:24 |
| kandinski | gah | 09:24 |
| kandinski | Shirakawasuna: thanks a lot | 09:25 |
| kandinski | Shirakawasuna: damn embarrassing, it just wasn't toggled on in the Startup Applications | 09:26 |
| Shirakawasuna | lol | 09:27 |
| Shirakawasuna | that's really funny, kandinski :D | 09:27 |
| glebihan | Antonis, :q! quits without saving, that's the point. To save, use :wa then :q to quit | 09:27 |
| Shirakawasuna | good to see that it's working! | 09:27 |
| kandinski | Shirakawasuna: glad to be of amusement | 09:27 |
| kandinski | thanks | 09:27 |
| Shirakawasuna | I go crazy without guake | 09:27 |
| Antonis | glebihan, thanks | 09:27 |
| glebihan | Antonis, you're welcome | 09:28 |
| SetiAmon | I stoped using quake because it opens up on my secondary monitor which is behind me | 09:28 |
| SetiAmon | stupid thing should open up on primary | 09:28 |
| spot_ | i'm back , i reinstalled grub2 , fix it and still nothing happend at startup when hdd is loaded | 09:32 |
| Antonis | I have another problem too. I run pure-ftpd but every file/folder I upload won't be shown on the server. I mean it gives it wrong permissions and in the browser it says forbidden. I use -U 027:027 (-U for umask) but how do I know what umask to use..? | 09:32 |
| spot_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/729800/ here is what reboot fixer says | 09:32 |
| spot_ | why i'm still geting the black screen and why the grub doesent show up !? | 09:38 |
| Shirakawasuna | spot_: you may need to reinstall grub | 09:40 |
| Shirakawasuna | spot_: so you used this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | 09:41 |
| Shirakawasuna | spot_: from a liveCD? | 09:41 |
| spot_ | yes | 09:41 |
| Shirakawasuna | k | 09:41 |
| Shirakawasuna | that's weird | 09:42 |
| Shirakawasuna | spot_: is this on a fresh installation of ubuntu, or has it worked before? | 09:43 |
| spot_ | i dind't installed any other linuxes before | 09:44 |
| spot_ | this is the first one | 09:44 |
| spot_ | oh wait , i tried first with wubi | 09:44 |
| spot_ | but it didn't work | 09:44 |
| spot_ | so i made a bootable cd | 09:44 |
| spot_ | when i installed wubi there was a selection between windows xp and ubuntu | 09:45 |
| spot_ | but the i select ubuntu there was an error (something like prefix not set) so i didnt succeed installing it | 09:46 |
| Shirakawasuna | spot_: ok | 09:47 |
| Shirakawasuna | spot_: your partition table seems strange to me | 09:47 |
| spot_ | yes , is a bit messed up | 09:47 |
| shreyansh | i am unable to detect my MMC card through my inbuilt Memory card reader.. however i am able to read another MMC card of different company make. please help | 09:48 |
| Name141 | Hm, well I installed Xubuntu LTS on Wubi for a test run. And it's not letting me double tap scroll lock to use my KVM switch to switch back to this computer. Any ideas ? | 09:48 |
| Shirakawasuna | spot_: basically... unless something big has changed that I don't know about (always a possibility), you shouldn't be able to use five partitions with none of them being the 'extended' type. | 09:48 |
| Shirakawasuna | spot_: your partition table should ideally be: sda1, sda2, sda3 the same as on that log. Then sda4 should be the extended type, then sda5 and sda6 should be what your computer now calls sda4 and sda5. | 09:49 |
| Name141 | Is there some specific download I could use in linux so I don't have to use the hardware button maybe ? | 09:49 |
| shreyansh | please help | 09:50 |
| Shirakawasuna | spot_: I think you might need to reinstall ubuntu and make sure the partition table isn't messed up. Also, are you using 10.04 because you want the LTS? Things might work a little bit better with 11.10 simply because it's more up to date. | 09:50 |
| shreyansh | though windows detect that memory card | 09:50 |
| Shirakawasuna | shreyansh: what does dmesg say ? | 09:51 |
| Name141 | http://www.trendnet.com/products/proddetail.asp?prod=185_TK-214i&cat=106 I'm not seeing any 'linux software/drivers' for it :/ | 09:52 |
| Shirakawasuna | spot_: I think your windows partition will be fine, if that's any consolation. | 09:54 |
| shreyansh | shirkawasuna : it says http://pastebin.com/StXqa5pZ | 09:56 |

| usuario | xaoo | 10:02 |
| nikolam | Sidewinder1, As I know, one can not report bugs directly on launchpad. ubuntu-bug reporting is mandatory. | 10:02 |
| nikolam | Question is how to report bug about ubuntu-bug itself | 10:03 |
| nikolam | 10.04 LTS 64bit | 10:03 |
| glebihan | Tuncay-fu, any particular reason your are compiling it instead of installing from the repos ? | 10:03 |
| tx9099_ | hello, i connected my phone as a serial port with blueman, can you tell me how to configure pppd? | 10:04 |
| glebihan | nikolam, you can report bugs directly on launchpad. ubuntu-bug is only a tool to make it easier | 10:04 |
| Tuncay-fu | glebihan, the official repo does have an outdated version. I would install if i would have precompiled version. | 10:05 |
| nikolam | glebihan, As I know that is not the case, I were reporting bugs for years untill once they forbided it without ubuntu-bug. Ok, I will try. | 10:05 |
| glebihan | Tuncay-fu, which version of ubuntu are you running ? | 10:05 |

| Tuncay-fu | about compiling f-spot | 10:14 |
| glebihan | Tuncay-fu, not for the make command | 10:14 |
| Ouranos727 | I have a little question | 10:14 |
| Ouranos727 | why ubuntu/linux is better than windows? | 10:14 |
| Myrtti | !zentyal > mousii | 10:14 |
| ubottu | mousii, please see my private message | 10:14 |
| Tuncay-fu | none is better | 10:14 |
| Myrtti | Ouranos727: your question is a bit offtopic to this channel, this is strictly for Ubuntu support. If you wish to continue the discussion elsewhere, may I suggest #ubuntu-offtopic | 10:15 |
| Shirakawasuna | why are you compiling it, Tuncay-fu ? | 10:16 |
| Tuncay-fu | I want have a newer version than the old official one from Ubuntu 10.04 repo. | 10:16 |
| Tuncay-fu | Is there any repo "address" which can I add to the repository list of my Ubuntu? | 10:17 |
| glebihan | Tuncay-fu, I don't think there's been a more recent build for lucid (though you may want to have a look at ppas on launchpad) | 10:18 |
| Tuncay-fu | I would avoid compiling, if there would be a precompiled f-spot. | 10:18 |
| Halabund | Can anyone help with this question? --> http://askubuntu.com/questions/76009/avoiding-installation-of-certain-dependency-packages-texlive --> tl;dr I have texlive installed manually. How can I install a package that depend on Ubuntu's texlive packages without installing Ubuntu's version of texlive? How can I disable the installation of Ubuntu's texlive for good? | 10:18 |
| Tuncay-fu | ppas on launchpad? Was never there. Can you give me the link please? | 10:18 |
| Shirakawasuna | Tuncay-fu: you could try installing the natty package by itself and hoping | 10:18 |
| glebihan | Tuncay-fu, as for the error you're getting, I'm getting the same one here, so you should probably contact thre f-spot team or file a bug against it | 10:18 |
| Myrtti | Shirakawasuna: er, please don't suggest that | 10:18 |
| Tuncay-fu | gelbihan, I am not comfortable bugs filing. | 10:19 |
| Ruzu | anyone know how to associate .py files with python? i tried chmod+x , but there seems to be another step :] | 10:19 |
| Shirakawasuna | it often works, Myrtti | 10:19 |
| Shirakawasuna | Tuncay-fu: there's also this, if you're OK with a 0.7 version: https://launchpad.net/~f-spot/+archive/f-spot-ppa | 10:19 |
| Tuncay-fu | hm thanks you all | 10:19 |
| Tuncay-fu | I try that version. | 10:19 |
| glebihan | Tuncay-fu, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas but there doesn't seem to be a ppa with a more recent version for lucid | 10:20 |
| Ruzu | doh, forgot the line to tell bash where it is | 10:20 |
| Tuncay-fu | or maybe I change to shotwell... but it did not handled my RAW files. | 10:20 |
| Shirakawasuna | Tuncay-fu: because it's at 0.7 while the maverick one is at 0.8.2, it might (might!) be that 0.8 isn't compatible with the lucid versions of its dependencies | 10:20 |
| Shirakawasuna | aha | 10:22 |
| Shirakawasuna | Tuncay-fu: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/09/download-f-spot-080-ubuntu-deb-with.html | 10:22 |
| kandinski | what happens if one installs a package for the previous release? | 10:24 |
| pucko- | Halabund: dpkg -i --ignore depends might work. | 10:24 |
| kandinski | I want to install fluxus, but the ppa doesn't have oneiric packages yet | 10:24 |
| chute | Ruzu: try adding "#!/usr/bin/env python" as the first line of your .py file | 10:24 |
| Tuncay-fu | I installed from ppa:f-spot/f-spot-ppa and got newer version than 0.6. its 0.7 something now. | 10:24 |
| kandinski | ppa:fluxus-maintainers/stable | 10:24 |
| Tuncay-fu | Better than nothing, thank you!! | 10:25 |
| pucko- | Halabund: but it's probably easier to either stick to ubuntu packages or ctan packages completely | 10:25 |
| tx9099_ | chute, i connected my phone as a serial port with blueman, can you tell me how to configure pppd? | 10:25 |
| Shirakawasuna | Tuncay-fu: cool | 10:25 |
| Shirakawasuna | Tuncay-fu: if you absolutely need 0.8, that last page has it for lucid. But it's compiled by some random guy and linked by omgubuntu, so... use at your own risk. | 10:25 |
| Halabund | pucko-, I want to use CTAN packages only but a lot of non-tex stuff depends on tex packages in ubuntu | 10:25 |
| pucko- | Halabund: ah, I see. | 10:26 |
| Shirakawasuna | kandinski: it will depend on the package itself, but I use old packages in repos on a regular basis. | 10:26 |
| kandinski | Shirakawasuna: do you have to do anything special to install? | 10:26 |
| Tuncay-fu | Shirakawasuna, no I would install from official repos or compile myself only. | 10:26 |
| Tuncay-fu | its too risky (learned from old win days) | 10:26 |
| kandinski | I am getting 404 when I update after apt-add-repository'ing the ppa | 10:26 |
| pucko- | Halabund: are text updated in the development version? in that case you could use those instead with apt | 10:26 |
| pucko- | Halabund: are the tex packages updated..., I meant to say | 10:27 |
| Shirakawasuna | kandinski: that's because it's looking for the oneiric (or whatever version you have) release, and it doesn't exist. | 10:28 |
| kandinski | Shirakawasuna: hmm | 10:28 |
| Shirakawasuna | kandinski: I use packages that simply don't have an oneiric (or even natty, sometimes) release and they're fine | 10:28 |
| Shirakawasuna | e.g. aegisub | 10:28 |
| zetrotrack | hi | 10:28 |
| kandinski | Shirakawasuna: so I need to edit the sources how? | 10:28 |
| Shirakawasuna | kandinski: you can edit the entry in /etc/apt/sources.list.d and change 'oneiric' (or whatever) to natty or maverick, or whatever the latest is on the ppa | 10:28 |
| kandinski | Shirakawasuna: thanks | 10:29 |
| Shirakawasuna | then sudo apt-get update and try installing | 10:29 |
| Shirakawasuna | np | 10:29 |
| zetrotrack | i hate unity to i have installed gnome fallback session, but there are few questions, now i am not able to make changes to toolbars (top and bottom both), they seemed to be locked | 10:29 |
| Tuncay-fu | the ppa:f-spot/f-spot-ppa was a great help. bye for now. thank you again! | 10:29 |
| tx9099_ | anyone got ideas to setup rfcomm and bluetooth dialup?? | 10:30 |
| Halabund | pucko-, they aren't. Ubuntu is always lagging behind terribly with tex. I don't know why. I was trying to move my tex stuff from windows/miktex and found that some packages I was using are simply not available in ubuntu. After some googling I found that all latex gurus recommend using the ctan packages instead of ubuntu's, so I installed that, but of course that doesn't integrate with ubuntu's package management, so now I find that when I try | 10:30 |
| Halabund | all certain stuff, the package manager wants to install ubuntu's texlive again | 10:30 |
| kandinski | Shirakawasuna: nice! Installing like a champ. | 10:31 |

| pucko- | Halabund: perhaps it's adequate to only install ctan packages locally and use the standard base packages of texlive in ubuntu. I usually get away with that for my own purposes | 10:33 |
| usr13_ | tx9099_: /join #blueman | 10:33 |

| TheHackOps | leafan, Join the android irc this is ubuntu | 10:56 |
| chute | usr13_: in 10.04, when rescaling with xrandr, all worked fine. In 11.10, the screen scaling works fine, but the mouse is restricted to the original resolution (boxed). | 10:58 |

| dokg | hi | 11:48 |
| dokg | how can I check if a program is running ? | 11:48 |
| jrib | dokg: top, ps, pgrep | 11:48 |
| dokg | thank you | 11:50 |
| dokg | when I use top I cannot find "asterisk" server, though I launched it. maybe it has another name ? | 11:52 |
| SetiAmon | back | 11:52 |
| SetiAmon | anyhow guys as i said before it is a USB wifi adapter | 11:52 |
| SetiAmon | USB as in not pci | 11:52 |
| bekks | dokg: Maybe it isnt causing that much cpu load to show up in the top results in "top"? | 11:52 |
| bekks | dokg: Use ps -aux instead. | 11:53 |
| gry | Hi! I updated from 11.04 to 11.10 and switched to fallback mode; the input locale indicator is not available any longer. How do I enable the indication of the currently active input locale in the top panel? | 11:54 |

| dc5ala | astropirate, at what place you did that? | 11:59 |
| astropirate | jrgp, i was setting a new path via terminal PATH=/........ | 12:00 |
| gry | Myrtti, yes. I can type in different locales and it switches fine - it's just the indicator which is absent. | 12:00 |
| jrib | astropirate: close your terminal and open a new one | 12:00 |
| astropirate | :D thanks | 12:00 |

| starlon | Well it's plugged directly into the motherboard, so no I haven't yet. I think if I did and plugged it back in, then the kernel would take it over again. | 12:16 |
| bekks | starlon: How do you checked wether it is connect to /dev/fb0 ? | 12:17 |

| upstairs | hi, is there any easy way to undo a copy? I just accidentally cp'ed a load of files into /usr/ and need a command that will read the original directory and remove those files from the corresponding locations in /usr/ | 12:32 |
| crypt666 | My question is: Do I only have to chroot into the boot partition or do I have to luksopen the LVM in order to repair the installation? | 12:32 |
| * DarkG waits | 12:33 | |
| usr13_ | ironhalik: Ubuntu should automatically load drivers for your Video Card. | 12:33 |
| bekks | crypt666: You have to open the luks-encrypted data, since there is the grub config, to generate a new config. | 12:34 |
| bekks | upstairs: there is no undo. | 12:34 |
| jacek1988 | I've just installed GNOME at Ubuntu 11.10. Unfortunately at the task bar I cant find my running application. Is there any way to sort it out ? Thanks | 12:34 |
| ironhalik | usr13_: yeah, but gnome system info shows the card as unknown, and unity feels much choppier then gnome shell in arch linux | 12:34 |
| bekks | upstairs: And you had been working with the root account - which is not recommended. | 12:34 |

| upstairs | @bekks - I'm not stupid. I'm looking for a bash command. | 12:36 |
| bekks | upstairs: There is no such command. | 12:36 |

| anonissimus | yes | 12:37 |
| cablop | wait... sorry | 12:37 |
| usr13_ | ironhalik: Do you have an xorg.conf file? If so, try renaming it. | 12:37 |
| anonissimus | I guess it is the amd driver then | 12:37 |
| bekks | upstairs: you have to script it yourself. there is no predefined command/script for doing so. | 12:37 |
| upstairs | yeah, I guess that's what I'm asking for | 12:37 |

| cablop | I have this scenario: dual boot computer (Windows 7, Ubuntu). to share files between both i plan to use a VM with Ubuntu as a file operative system for files only, is 256 RAM too few for it? | 12:43 |
| cablop | dokg: ifconfig -a | 12:45 |
| anonissimus | I keep being thrown out of my session when I log in with my regular user | 12:45 |
| cablop | is 256 MB of ram too few for an ubuntu 11.10 running xfce? | 12:45 |

| dokg | cablop, it didn't help | 12:45 |
| bekks | cablop: Yes, it is pretty feew. | 12:45 |
| cablop | no bekks because i am asking if 256 MB is enough for ubuntu | 12:45 |
| cablop | 512 should be a better solution? | 12:46 |

| liram | goodday all, I was wondering if I could get any assistance with mdadm setting up a raid0 raid | 12:47 |
| lordjj | 256 was enough for 10.04 live CD. Dnt knw if anything changed | 12:47 |
| lordjj | Btw, What happens when I connect to my Wifi network using 2 wlan devices (internal laptop device wlan0 and external usb adapter on wlan1)? | 12:47 |
| cablop | milen8204: everyone is in the same wagn xD tell us your prolem | 12:47 |
| cablop | problem | 12:47 |
| milen8204 | cablop, I couldnt start it | 12:47 |
| airtonix | lordjj: one gets assigned as the default route, check which one with $ routes | 12:47 |
| milen8204 | becouse the problem whit my mounted /dev/sda2 to /home/millen appeared | 12:48 |
| lexflex | hello ubuntu crowd | 12:48 |
| cablop | milen8204: did it show you the grub menu? if not then press esc after bios screen before ubuntu screen and you should see it... if you get grub tell us when it stops loading | 12:48 |
| milen8204 | alsa .... | 12:48 |
| milen8204 | after alsa draiver | 12:49 |
| milen8204 | or something like this :D | 12:49 |
| cablop | hmmm | 12:49 |
| lexflex | I have a question: i installed emacs and i would like to use the keyboard shortcuts. but i dont understand them. it sais for example: Quit C-x C-c. What the hell is this? | 12:49 |
| milen8204 | I have started when I coused a Previeews versions but all is mess up | 12:49 |
| liram | goodday all, I was wondering if I could get any assistance with mdadm setting up a raid0 raid | 12:50 |
| milen8204 | my windows have no menu-butons (minimize, aximize and close) | 12:50 |
| cablop | liram: do you have that raid already enabled? | 12:50 |
| liram | yes I do ( I think ) cablop | 12:50 |
| milen8204 | I have no aplets | 12:50 |
| milen8204 | and no menu | 12:50 |
| crypt666 | hi | 12:50 |
| cablop | milen8204: ah, but you can start the system | 12:51 |
| milen8204 | cablop, yes I am whit Ubuntu 11.10 now | 12:51 |
| milen8204 | :D | 12:51 |
| lordjj | Can I get some insight on what happens when I connect to my Wifi network using 2 wlan devices (internal laptop device wlan0 and external usb adapter on wlan1)? | 12:51 |
| cablop | milen8204: this is not a bug, but a design flaw instead, ubutnu 11.10 uses gnome 3 and unity, if you used the old gnome 2.x then you can say good bye to that... you can install gnome-shell and use it in legacy mode, but... it is still not the same | 12:52 |
| CobraKhan007 | milen8204, ubuntu upgade? | 12:52 |
| crypt666 | Could anybody please tell me how I can mount my encrypted LVM to the dir /mnt/unenc on my livesystem? | 12:52 |
| milen8204 | CobraKhan007, infortunetly YES | 12:52 |
| CobraKhan007 | milen8204, if so did you use compiz as wm mangare? | 12:52 |
| cablop | milen8204: gnome3 is another usage design paradigm, and unity is... i never understand that thing... that was the proposed netbook UI but they decided to bring it to desktops... sigh | 12:52 |
| BluesKaj | Hey all | 12:53 |
| anonissimus | airtonix: what should I be looking for, plenty of errors and warnings there | 12:53 |
| cablop | crypt666: LVM are not filesystems, so they don't mount | 12:53 |
| milen8204 | CobraKhan007, yes I use Copiz | 12:53 |
| cablop | liram: i mean, do you have that raid0 in use now? any files copied into it? | 12:53 |
| CobraKhan007 | milen8204, compiz doen't satrt by default | 12:53 |
| milen8204 | CobraKhan007, how to start it | 12:54 |
| liram | I just mounted the file system cablop, I just have to change permissions | 12:54 |
| milen8204 | I have noting on my desctop | 12:54 |
| CobraKhan007 | milen8204, had to install and run compiz-fusion-icon. | 12:54 |
| cablop | liram, but you said your problem as related to raid not to permissions, they're different things | 12:54 |
| anonissimus | airtonix: fatal IO error for unity, gdk | 12:54 |
| milen8204 | cablop, You say to install gnom3 | 12:54 |
| jacek1988 | exit | 12:54 |
| CobraKhan007 | milen8204, and put it in strup items of gnome. | 12:55 |
| airtonix | anonissimus: sounds relevant | 12:55 |
| CobraKhan007 | *startup items | 12:55 |
| milen8204 | CobraKhan007, How can I do this | 12:55 |
| airtonix | anonissimus: does the problem occur for all users ? | 12:55 |
| cablop | milen8204: anyway unity on 11.10 used gnome3 but it is not complete, go and install gnome-shell, you can do it on terminal by `sudo apt-get install gnome-shell` wo quotes of course | 12:55 |
| milen8204 | cablop, ok I will try I have to quit to ru a terminal whit Doky :D | 12:56 |
| anonissimus | airtonix: only have one user on this box so yeah | 12:56 |
| milen8204 | bye for now | 12:56 |
| anonissimus | guest user does load but it is really botched, all the dynamic stuff is black | 12:56 |
| cablop | milen8204: but compiz is not going to run the same way on unity nor gnome3, if you had cube, say bye to it and so on, you can install xfce if you want an experience closer to the old gnome, and play around to make it works with compiz... if not then embrace the new paradigm usage and ditch compiz... :( | 12:57 |
| liram | cablop, this is my first time with mdadm I recently learned about it and have 2 identical drives, and ( as far as I can tell works ) im still relativly new to linux in general but learning, I would like some assistance futher ive followed a tutorial and the raid works I can access it propperly now but dont I need to edit fstab to make it mount on boot? | 12:58 |
| christian__ | hey guys | 12:58 |
| CobraKhan007 | cablop, hmmm got it running. but dont use unity that much Cairo dock here | 12:58 |
| christian__ | does anybod know "inetsim" ?? a honeypot | 12:58 |
| cablop | liram: if you want to create a larger block device, by merging other block devices (aka disks or partitions) into just one, then i suggest you to use LVM instead, butthat LVM is only going to work on *nix OSs... | 12:58 |
| christian__ | i start honeypot as root, but on every service it says it failed to start it: | 12:59 |
| christian__ | * dns 53/udp/tcp - failed! | 12:59 |
| christian__ | * discard 9/udp - failed! and os on... | 12:59 |
| cablop | CobraKhan007: then you should be better on a Gnome3 shell rather than unity and using the Cairo dock | 12:59 |
| christian__ | i really dont know why he cant start them... any tipps ? please | 12:59 |
| christian__ | Couldn't create TCP socket: Cannot assign requested address at /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.1/Net/DNS/Nameserver.pm line 90 | 12:59 |
| christian__ | its a perl program | 12:59 |
| christian__ | why cant perl create a tcp socket nor asign an address to it ? i am not familiar with perl | 13:00 |
| milen8204 | cablop, I have instaled the shell | 13:00 |
| milen8204 | :) now is better :D | 13:00 |
| bekks | christian__: Because the address/port is already in use, most likely. | 13:00 |
| cablop | liram: ah, yes, but to mount it is another different thing... mmm that raid device sould have a partition on top, right? then you just ad the uuids or other good reference to them on te fstab and you are done | 13:00 |
| anonissimus | airtonix: never mind, reintalling this, it already took too much time | 13:01 |
| christian__ | bekks: inetsm is a honeypot, it creates all the fake services (e.g. port < 1024) | 13:01 |
| milen8204 | cablop, how to get standart appearance not a 10.04 lock | 13:01 |
| bugsaid | hi guys, need some help. anyone here knows how to use rsync or grsync??? do anyone knows how to upload a file to source forge using rsync or grsync?? | 13:01 |
| airtonix | anonissimus: it's ok i was never worried | 13:01 |
| cablop | milen8204: nice, if what you need is a good panel at the bottom, then i suggest you to use AWN for it, and you use the full gnome3 with a panel replacement in the bottom, AWN is so good, you are not going to regret | 13:01 |
| bekks | christian__: You said that before. That does not change a word about what I said. | 13:01 |
| christian__ | of course these ports are already in use, but inetsim uses an other ip adress to bind the services to | 13:01 |
| christian__ | no bekks you unerstood me wrong | 13:01 |
| cablop | milen8204: my best suggestion is, use the gnome3 the way it is, but install AWN and set it at the bottom and play with it to make it looks like a taskbar with windows minimized to it and so on, it wil be a god experience for you | 13:02 |
| anonissimus | airtonix: thank you for your lack of worrying ;) | 13:02 |
| christian__ | inetsim uses 192.102.1.205 to bind the serivces too, there shouldn be any ports listeing | 13:02 |
| christian__ | *shouldn't | 13:02 |
| cablop | if you want the old look and feel selec classic gnomeorlegacy, i forgot the name before login | 13:02 |
| cablop | milen8204: if you want the old look and feel selec classic gnomeorlegacy, i forgot the name before login | 13:03 |
| mix22891 | why Steam not work currcntly? | 13:03 |
| CobraKhan007 | login is gnome-classic | 13:03 |
| cablop | CobraKhan007, milen8204 but in the end it is just a mask on top of gnome3 so you will end feeling it is not as good as expected :( | 13:04 |
| bugsaid | sorry everyone. need some help or irc here. how do i join another forum?? | 13:04 |

| norbert_ | hey all, I'm currently using ffmpeg to record stuff and it's constantly changing my "Capture" setting in the alsa mixer controls | 13:24 |
| amin` | I am using ICEWM and i have a problem. and it is the nm-applet icon . after a while if i disconnect the icon changes whit an X on the icon which means it is disconnected and when i connect again the icon remains. if I connect to a vpn connection that X icon again remains and after somethime te icon just shows it self in half (horizontal bottom). Could some one tell me what is the reason for this kind of behavior? | 13:24 |
| norbert_ | is there a way to force ffmpeg to stop touching my audio settings, when recording? | 13:24 |
| Jonii | Left-hand side docky-like thing does not allow choosing which window, out of many, you are gonna focus on. alt+tab does kinda work, but it requires you to have both hands on keyboard for it to work. windows-button + w does not allow zooming into it, so on a small screen like mine you have hard time figuring out what window is which | 13:25 |
| pangolin | researcher123: still the same error? | 13:26 |

| sasori | question: what could be the possible problem if i typed "30i-" on vi editor and hit "esc", and it didn't do anything?, it says at the bottom, "recording" and the cursor blinks at the "-" part | 14:00 |
| bekks | lalakis: Calculate yourself please. 24MB/s*1024*8=xyz kBit/s. | 14:00 |
| iceroot | sasori: you are in command-mode | 14:00 |
| dr_willis | TrollsALot: data worth keeping - is worth backing up.. i suggest you make backups anyway. | 14:01 |
| th0r | Lalakis: if you have the same service at both ends only 1Mbps | 14:01 |
| iceroot | sasori: so everything is handled as a command. type "i" to reach the "insert" mode | 14:01 |
| TrollsALot | dr_willis: Can't afford backups .... life is hard at the moment | 14:01 |
| sasori | iceroot: i was on insert mode...after typing 30i- on insert mode..i hit esc and it went to command mode and nothing happened | 14:01 |
| dr_willis | TrollsALot: throw your data away then... | 14:01 |
| dr_willis | hard drives can die at any time. | 14:01 |
| iceroot | sasori: and what should happen? | 14:02 |
| TrollsALot | dr_willis: how do I backup ? | 14:02 |
| lalakis | bekks the type you wrote 24*1024*8 gives 1996608 kbit/sec | 14:02 |
| sasori | it should have typed "-" 30 times , @ iceroot | 14:02 |
| lalakis | your maths are not good :) | 14:02 |
| lucas-arg | im having randomly freezes on boot, caps locks led lights blinking, dont know what it is... any suggestion where to start????? Ubuntu 11.10 | 14:02 |

| TrollsALot | is deja dup any good ? | 14:02 |
| dr_willis | !backup | 14:02 |

| iceroot | sasori: #vim i guess is the better place | 14:03 |
| sasori | i don't see letter "s" typed 30 times :( | 14:03 |
| * TrollsALot is only going to gain 5gb by doing this :/ | 14:04 | |
| dr_willis | Try (in Normal mode) 80i#<Esc>, where <Esc> means pressing the Escape key | 14:05 |
| dr_willis | your i is in the wrong place... perhaps? | 14:05 |
| sasori | iceroot: same thing happened, i opened a new terminal, typed vim, pressed "i" for insert mode, typed "30i-" and hit "esc", it didn't do anything :| why? | 14:05 |
| TrollsALot | dr_willis: deja dup doesn't backup the whole system ? | 14:05 |
| dr_willis | you dont hit i for insert mode first sasori | 14:06 |
| dr_willis | TrollsALot: no idea. I dont use it.. i backup everything via dd to a external usb | 14:06 |
| dr_willis | with cloud backup for some stuff | 14:06 |
| dr_willis | nuther way | 14:07 |
| dr_willis | i#<ESC>79. | 14:07 |
| dr_willis | Where magic dot is the essential bit!! | 14:07 |
| dr_willis | the 79 . in the last way.. repeates the prev. command 79 times. | 14:07 |
| TrollsALot | dr_willis: via dd ? That sounds inefficient - no incrementals and a **** load to dump everytime | 14:07 |
| dr_willis | TrollsALot: you were the one not going to make backups at all. | 14:07 |
| TrollsALot | dr_willis: but you have shown me the light ! Just taking up your advice | 14:08 |
| TrollsALot | dr_willis: Just tell how :) | 14:08 |
| dr_willis | I dd the first setup/install of a system, for easyer recovery, then keep the data elsewhere. normally | 14:08 |

| TrollsALot | dr_willis: :/ Not really good as both bubba directories exist | 14:28 |
| Guest9231 | hi, i'm having problem installing nvidia. i'm running ubuntu 11.04 | 14:29 |
| dr_willis | TrollsALot: you have 2 identical users in both homes.. you got some work to do then. | 14:29 |
| escott | milen8204, ok. and do you have /home on a different partition? have you fscked it? is your fstab entry correct? | 14:29 |
| milen8204 | escott, yes | 14:29 |
| TrollsALot | dr_willis: Can't you use some trickery like fuse ? The ids fortunately are the same | 14:29 |
| milen8204 | I had no problem whit ubuntu 11.04 | 14:29 |
| TrollsALot | !fuse | 14:30 |
| ubottu | FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) is a !kernel driver that allows non-root users to create their own filesystems. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace for more on FUSE. Some examples of filesystems that use FUSE are !ntfs-3g, sshfs and isofs. A full list of Filesystems that use FUSE is here: http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FileSystems | 14:30 |
| escott | TrollsALot, there are some overlay partitioning things where the underlying partition is read-only but its bit weird | 14:30 |
| faLUCE | hi, is there a clean and tested procedure for making work the onboard wireless network card on dell d610 on ubuntu 11.04 ? the wireless card is a broadcom bcm4312 | 14:30 |
| dr_willis | and if the users have identical named files... well.. whats the point of all this weirdness anyway.. | 14:30 |
| escott | dr_willis, mostly used by people who want to run different vms off a common base system image | 14:31 |
| TrollsALot | escott: Yeah I tried using fuse years ago when it was beta on redhat ... It didn't half screw with my brain -LOL | 14:31 |

| dr_willis | !info unionfs | 14:32 |
| ubottu | Package unionfs does not exist in oneiric | 14:32 |
| dr_willis | theres most likely a few alternatives | 14:32 |
| scottj | is "sudo echo foo | sudo bar" the same as "sudo -s; echo foo | bar; C-d"? | 14:32 |
| TrollsALot | dr_willis: thanks :) | 14:32 |

| Guest12952 | Q: do any know gconfmm , ? | 14:33 |
| escott | scottj, techinically the first pipes the output through your shell, the second creates a new shell, but it should have the same result | 14:33 |
| guy__ | hi, i'm having problem installing nvidia. i'm running ubuntu 11.04 . can anybody help me with this??here is my x.org log http://pastebin.com/KH77AySL | 14:35 |
| scottj | escott: what is the proper way to sudo a series of commands without repeating the sudo and without having a separate command to start the sudo or leave a new shell? | 14:35 |
| scottj | I mean is "sudo -s; echo foo | bar; exit" as good as it gets, or is there a better way that also doesn't involve repeating sudo? | 14:36 |
| TrollsALot | scottj: why don't you just use a sudo shell ? - sudo -s | 14:36 |
| escott | scottj, for interactive use sudo -i or you can run stuff in a subshell with () so something like sudo (foo | bar) should work, but its more about what works for you | 14:37 |
| scottj | sudo () sounds interesting. | 14:38 |
| scottj | TrollsALot: oh I just prefer not having to type ;exit :) | 14:38 |
| === jason is now known as jasef | ||
| TrollsALot | scottj: What's wrong with hitting ctrl-d ? | 14:38 |
| scottj | actually sudo -s ; ls; exit doesn't even work | 14:38 |
| scottj | TrollsALot: because I'll be putting this command in a script | 14:39 |
| dr_willis | sudo -s is making a new shell.... | 14:39 |
| dr_willis | so its not seeing the ls untill it exists.. (is my guess) | 14:39 |
| scottj | sudo (ls) doesn't work | 14:40 |
| jasef | Wouldn't sudo ls work? | 14:40 |
| scottj | jasef: yeah sudo (ls) was just a test though to see if sudo (echo foo|bar) would work | 14:41 |
| jasef | scottj, if I want to run multiple commands, I do this: sudo su -c 'command1 | more ; command2' | 14:42 |
| scottj | jasef: thanks | 14:42 |

| Dark_Apostrophe | Hello, how do I change DNS servers in Ubuntu without it reverting the settings after the next reboot, which it did whenI tried to merely change resolv.conf? | 15:55 |
| sven_ | Dark_Apostrophe, are you using network-manager, the applet in the top bar? just right-click, edit connections... | 15:56 |
| xangua | Dark_Apostrophe: you can put wich dns you want to use on the network icon | 15:56 |
| xangua | thru* | 15:56 |
| Dark_Apostrophe | sven_: DNS doesn't appear anywhere there, it seems | 15:57 |
| llutz | LargePrime: http://linux.die.net/man/1/puttygen you have to convert those files into public-openssh format it seems | 15:57 |
| sven_ | Dark_Apostrophe, maybe its not compatible with dhcp.... | 15:58 |
| sven_ | Dark_Apostrophe, but it is within the IPv4 settings of every connection | 15:58 |
| Dark_Apostrophe | So I can't have DHCP -and- custom DNS on? :/ | 15:59 |
| LargePrime | thanks llutz I was thinking i was crazy, cause 60 people here doing it, and i cant | 15:59 |

| spot_ | yes | 16:17 |

| spot_ | so i can't fix the grub and i can access any os installed | 16:19 |
| dr_willis | Most likely spot_ you could fix the grub.. | 16:20 |
| Abhijit | where can is gnome3 documentation? how can we get the compiz style animations etc on gnome3? | 16:20 |
| dr_willis | spot_: so you want to remove allof linux and have just a xp system? | 16:20 |
| spot_ | i tried and it doesent work | 16:20 |
| spot_ | yes | 16:20 |
| dr_willis | spot_: so you are planning on reinstalling xp also? | 16:20 |
| tapirath | BluesKaj: I can't drop to tty I think it's because the display drivers are fubar'd. I used grub and booted to a root shell from the recovery. And I did what you said but when I restart I still don't have an image after the bootsplash. | 16:20 |
| spot_ | if i can boot my windows again no | 16:21 |
| Barrak | hey whats up guys? | 16:21 |
| dr_willis | spot_: you will want to use a windows cd/restore cd. to reinstall teh windows bootloader to get windows booting first. then i would go about deleteing the linux setup. | 16:21 |
| === [Sanyi] is now known as [sanyi] | ||
| Abhijit | noooo help? :-( | 16:21 |
| dr_willis | gnome3 animations are working here with compiz by default Abhijit ... so im not sure what you mean | 16:22 |
| tapirath | does anybody know how to enter to the grub menu while booting. it currently hidden. (so far I did it with pressing every key on the keyboard I'm feeling it's not an efficient method :)) | 16:22 |
| escott | Abhijit, compiz doesnt work with gnome3 it uses mutter and has less compatibility | 16:22 |
| Abhijit | dr_willis, amm e.g. that stack of windows when we press alt tab how to change this behaviour? | 16:22 |
| dr_willis | at least i thought gnome3 was using compiz.. i may be confused. | 16:22 |
| escott | Abhijit, rather less capabilities to customize | 16:22 |
| bekks | tapirath: Press esc or shift. | 16:22 |
| spot_ | the windows cd got block at the instalation so i need to delete the grub first , i think | 16:22 |

| bekks | spot_: Windows will overwrote everything it needs to repair its installation. | 16:23 |
| BluesKaj | tapirath, which nvidia card ? You said it was broken ,,what happens ? IMO you're better off with nvidia , there's better driver support. | 16:23 |
| bekks | *overwrite even | 16:23 |
| dr_willis | spot_: you said you dident want to reinstall windows.. you just need to get to the windows recovery console and reinstall the windows bootloader. | 16:23 |
| dr_willis | #windows will be able to walk you through that. | 16:24 |
| tapirath | BluesKaj: it was an old 6600gt and it doesn't work anymore :/ so until I can find another card I need to use the integrated ati which is I thin something like x2000? | 16:24 |
| bekks | spot_: dr_willis: The most easy way is to insert the windows cd and start the repair option. Everything else is a job for ##windows | 16:24 |
| spot_ | ow when the system boots up, you get the "Press any key to boot from CD..." prompt, you press any key, you see for a brief moment, "Setup is inspecting your hardware configuration" and then the screen goes black. | 16:24 |
| dr_willis | spot_: you have any impiorntant stuff on the disks you want to keep? if so - id syggest using a live cd and backing them up. | 16:24 |
| tapirath | bekks: should I press it and hold? it doesn't seem to work | 16:24 |
| BluesKaj | 6600gts still work , with the nvidia-current driver , but you may have a nomodeset issue which alot of nvidias have ,both old and new . | 16:25 |

| BluesKaj | tali , im just curious , because my other box has an ati 200m express on board, and after installing the default driver , the pc doesn't boot at all | 16:33 |

| spot_ | yes , it didn't work | 16:34 |
| tapirath | BluesKaj: I think those are older than x1200 might be that drivers are not mature? | 16:34 |
| bekks | You didnt even try. | 16:34 |
| spot_ | i tried all | 16:34 |
| bekks | spot_: Did you insert a windows cd and chose the repair option? | 16:35 |

| BluesKaj | tapirath, yeah the pc is 2005 vintage | 16:35 |

| spot_ | i boot from windows cd | 16:36 |
| spot_ | when the system boots up, i get the "Press any key to boot from CD..." prompt, i press any key, i see for a brief moment, "Setup is inspecting your hardware configuration" and then the screen goes black | 16:36 |

| Gentoo64 | thats not linux or grubs causing that though | 16:36 |
| spot_ | it's 3d time i write this | 16:36 |
| spot_ | then why is not working? | 16:36 |
| Gentoo64 | who knows | 16:37 |
| spot_ | i find answers on internet | 16:37 |
| bekks | Ask in ##windows please | 16:37 |

| spot_ | why i get just a cursor on a black screen when booting my hdd | 16:38 |
| spot_ | ? | 16:38 |
| auronandace | spot_: because it isn't a grub or ubuntu issue (if you can't boot a windows cd ask for help in ##windows) | 16:38 |
| Gentoo64 | spot_, because it sounds like its trying to boot from hdd | 16:38 |
| tzanger | spot_: that is a VERY generic question. Grub can fail to boot for many, many reasons, and the grub "rescue shell" is an abomination | 16:39 |

| spot_ | if i say what is my final goal here you will send me to #windows | 16:54 |
| spot_ | i have ubuntu | 16:54 |
| llutz | spot_: quit gparted, "sudo umount /dev/sda3 && sudo mkfs.ext4 -m0 /dev/sda3" | 16:54 |
| spot_ | installed and now i'm with livecd | 16:54 |
| escott | mint, please dont waste our time. you've been given the answer. if you dont like it complain to apple | 16:55 |
| urlin2u | spot_, not on that HD you have no ubuntu. | 16:55 |
| spot_ | what?? | 16:55 |
| iceroot | how to find the maintainer of a kernel-modul? (in this case rt2800pci) | 16:56 |
| mint | escott , sorry if i make u mad it is just i am so desperate | 16:56 |
| llutz | modinfo rt2800pci|grep author iceroot | 16:56 |
| urlin2u | spot_, the sda3 has not enough data on it, go to a appropriatte channel. | 16:56 |
| spot_ | llutz umount: /dev/sda3: not mounted | 16:56 |
| spot_ | what are you talking about? | 16:57 |
| spot_ | i just installed ubuntu on it | 16:57 |
| urlin2u | spot_, is it a wubi? | 16:57 |
| spot_ | nope | 16:57 |
| iceroot | llutz: great, thank you | 16:57 |
| mint | escott , at least tell me how i can mount it so as to save my file from my i pod | 16:58 |
| llutz | spot_: "sudo mkfs.ext4 -m0 /dev/sda3" | 16:58 |
| escott | mint, if banshee doesnt work you will have to use itunes. it is not a usb mass storage device | 16:58 |
| urlin2u | spot_, than you have no ubuntu on that had the sda3 has to little data and the other 2 partitions are ntfs ubuntu wont instal in a ntfs unless it is a wubi. | 16:58 |
| urlin2u | hd* | 16:59 |
| mint | escott , tnx for your time | 16:59 |
| spot_ | the ntfs partitions are from windows | 16:59 |
| spot_ | i tried a dual boot | 16:59 |
| llutz | spot_: maybe just a wrong partition-id | 16:59 |
| ParadigmUltra | Is there a music player that supports sharing a library across multiple computers, so that the library info stays in snyc between all computers? | 16:59 |
| spot_ | but grub doesent load any system | 16:59 |
| urlin2u | spot_, you want the windows boot back is tha the problem? | 17:00 |

| auronandace | spot_: do you understand what is meant when you say format? do you want to make it blank space or a different partition type (ext4, ntfs, fat32) | 17:00 |
| spot_ | i want something to boot | 17:00 |
| escott | ParadigmUltra, its probably just easier to rsync the files. i dont know of any music player that has that as a built in feature | 17:00 |
| twitchnln | why do i get the feeling that noone else has played cepstral with natty successfully? | 17:00 |
| spot_ | anything , but boooot | 17:00 |
| llutz | spot_: boot windows cd, restore MBR, fix your partition-layout | 17:00 |
| llutz | spot_: formatting sda3 won't help you in any way | 17:01 |
| urlin2u | spot_, do you know the out of the bios bot menu key prompt try booting the windows, when you power on hit f12, we can get you the boot back from a terminal on that disc | 17:01 |
| auronandace | spot_: then based on that screenshot you've likely formatted the ext4 partition, if you want to boot ubuntu, you'll need to install it there | 17:01 |
| spot_ | llutz , i cant boot windows cd because i got black screen after the booting | 17:01 |
| === deckard_mc_ is now known as deckard_mc | ||
| escott | spot_, we understand your frustration, but your not expressing anything well. you complain that it gives you a warning about data existing and don't send a screenshot. you complain that it doesnt say format but dont give a screenshot. you say it doesnt boot but dont give the contents of any error messages, and you are unclear on your goal | 17:02 |
| spot_ | i dont get any error , is just a black screen with a cursor | 17:02 |

| prueba_ | alguien que hable español | 17:03 |
| escott | spot_, it overwrites the mbr | 17:03 |

| Phane | Bonsoir | 17:03 |
| llutz | spot_: it overwrites MBR + partition-table of your 1st HDD | 17:03 |
| spot_ | llutz , can i use dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1 instead of windows cd? because the windows cd doesent boot write , it just stop at a moment | 17:03 |
| Spartakus | good evening everybody :D | 17:04 |
| llutz | spot_: it overwrites your partition-table, you shouldn't do it if you neeed any data from that drive | 17:04 |
| spot_ | uff , then how can i do it? | 17:04 |
| llutz | spot_: fix your computer, its nothing OS-related | 17:04 |
| urlin2u | spot_, if you had a copy of what was there before you overwrote is you could, you can also just install lilo in the mbr from a ubuntu disc and boot windows. | 17:04 |
| urlin2u | spot_, can you bopt a ubuntu disc to a desktop? | 17:05 |
| urlin2u | boot* | 17:05 |
| spot_ | what is lilo? | 17:05 |
| spot_ | i can boot an ubuntu cd | 17:05 |
| auronandace | !info lilo | spot_ | 17:05 |
| spot_ | i am now on ubuntu try | 17:05 |
| ubottu | spot_: lilo (source: lilo): LInux LOader - the classic OS boot loader. In component main, is optional. Version 1:23.2-2 (oneiric), package size 270 kB, installed size 808 kB (Only available for amd64 i386 all) | 17:06 |
| llutz | spot_: download and start http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/, fix MBR | 17:06 |
| theMAVERICK | so...I was in the middle of recording some music tracks, and my whole /home switched to read-only, and I cannot switch it back | 17:06 |
| urlin2u | spot_, it is a bootloader that will boot windows just the same you will never see it, and windows will boot straight in. | 17:06 |
| theMAVERICK | has anyone heard of this problem? | 17:06 |
| spot_ | why didn't you told me that from the start :) | 17:06 |
| escott | theMAVERICK, is /home on its own partition? | 17:06 |
| pleiotropy | hello. it seems I have a problem with pulseaudio on an asus N43SL. This seems in part due to the acpi (using experimental asus_nb_wmi now). On the sound settings no hardware is recognized. Audio is not working. Anyone willing to help? Thanks | 17:07 |
| theMAVERICK | escott: oh boy, my partition table just flipped over to GPT...again | 17:08 |
| twitchnln | theMAVERICK: sounds like system found error on /home partition and remounted read only, reboot from cd and fsck your drive | 17:08 |
| spot_ | now , how can i install this lilo? | 17:08 |
| urlin2u | spot_, what is the release of the ubuntu cd you have? | 17:08 |
| theMAVERICK | twitchnln: crap, this is the second time this has happened after wiping the disks | 17:08 |
| iceroot | spot_: there is no need for lil | 17:08 |
| spot_ | i've downloaded lilo-22.8.src.tar.gz | 17:08 |
| theMAVERICK | twitchnln: so, they are pretty much fried, huh? | 17:08 |
| theMAVERICK | greeeaaat | 17:08 |
| escott | theMAVERICK, you probably have a hybird partition table. use gdisk to fix it | 17:08 |
| iceroot | spot_: use grub instead | 17:08 |
| spot_ | grub doesent work , i tried to fix it and doesent work | 17:09 |
| spot_ | i want lilo instead | 17:09 |
| spot_ | how can i install and use it? | 17:09 |
| greennumbers | what is the command to move/copy a directory with the contents intact? | 17:09 |
| theMAVERICK | escott: I did standard partitioning via install ext4 I believe, if I try to reboot, I will lose the entire shell and everything | 17:09 |
| urlin2u | iceroot, he has no linux none of the grub files in ubuntu. | 17:09 |
| arkaniad_elsewhe | greennumbers: just mv them. | 17:09 |
| greennumbers | thanks | 17:09 |
| theMAVERICK | escott: is there a way to atleast save/export my current project before I mess with the hard drive partitions? | 17:09 |
| urlin2u | iceroot, a failed install with less the 500mb | 17:09 |
| escott | theMAVERICK, if you have a screwed up gpt/dos hybrid you need to boot the liveusb install gdisk and fix it | 17:09 |
| twitchnln | theMAVERICK: I have a usb drive here that does the same thing from time to time, but it happens when drive is reading and usb polls another device, causing drive to pause. could be hardware, could be something to do with running processes | 17:10 |
| iceroot | urlin2u: and why installing lilo but not grub? | 17:10 |
| iceroot | urlin2u: i dont get why lilo should be better | 17:10 |
| theMAVERICK | twitchnln: so, can I atleast recover my data that I currently have before the reboot | 17:10 |
| urlin2u | iceroot, there is no ubuntu or linux grub works when you have a OS that uses it. | 17:11 |
| theMAVERICK | twitchnln: because a reboot will not even give me a shell, and a livecd will not allow me to tweak the partitions, I have tried numerous times | 17:11 |
| meoblast001 | hi | 17:11 |
| twitchnln | theMAVERICK: you should be able to, like i said boot from live cd, ie: knoppix and fsck the /home partition | 17:11 |
| meoblast001 | what should i do when i was doing a dist upgrade, it locked up, and i killed it | 17:11 |
| meoblast001 | now i get E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages. | 17:11 |
| urlin2u | spot_, what is the ubuntu cd you have | 17:11 |
| iceroot | urlin2u: and how is this question releated to ubuntu? | 17:11 |
| theMAVERICK | twitchnln: I promise it won't work, I tried for the last two weeks | 17:11 |
| twitchnln | theMAVERICK: whatever you do, don't fsck mounted partition | 17:11 |
| lh | list | 17:11 |
| iceroot | spot_: you want a booloader for window/mac without installing linux? | 17:11 |
| twitchnln | theMAVERICK: bad things happen if you do | 17:12 |
| spot_ | i have installed linux | 17:12 |
| spot_ | ubuntu | 17:12 |
| theMAVERICK | twitchnln: agreed, so...then it is impossible to get this data off, or what? | 17:12 |
| urlin2u | iceroot it isn't but the user wont go away so personally I was trying to get them booted so they would. :D | 17:12 |
| spot_ | but the grub doesent load my operating systems | 17:12 |
| theMAVERICK | twitchnln: this is a re-recording of a track I lost last week because of the same problem | 17:12 |
| iceroot | spot_: can you write in one line what is the issue and what you want? | 17:12 |
| theMAVERICK | twitchnln: I REALLY don't want to redo it a third time | 17:12 |
| iceroot | spot_: and why not fixing grub? | 17:12 |
| urlin2u | iceroot, we have been trying that for awhile god luck. | 17:13 |
| spot_ | i tried to fix grub in every way | 17:13 |
| urlin2u | good* | 17:13 |
| twitchnln | theMAVERICK: after fsck the partition from knoppix, reboot and see if it mounts correctly, if so i don't see why you couldn't recover it | 17:13 |
| iceroot | spot_: what is the error from grub? | 17:13 |
| escott | spot_, you are not doing yourself a service constantly changing your objective whenever you run into the slightest difficulty. if you keep doing this you will at some point find yourself reading some advanced documentation which will suggest a command that will wipe out your entire system | 17:13 |
| meoblast001 | how do i break all locks in APT? | 17:13 |
| iceroot | spot_: you are using an ubuntu-installation which installed grub on your system? | 17:13 |
| theMAVERICK | twitchnln: here is the problem, knoppix and livecds crash when I try to use fdisk or gdisk after this GPT error | 17:13 |
| spot_ | there is no error , i just got a black screen with a cliping cursor and after this nothing happens | 17:13 |
| theMAVERICK | twitchnln: I tried a couple different versions, basically as soon as I shutdown, this is done, I lose it all | 17:14 |
| twitchnln | theMAVERICK: don't use fdisk, use fsck | 17:14 |
| iceroot | spot_: and you are booting the drive where grub is installed? | 17:14 |
| urlin2u | iceroot, here is what they have 2 ntfs and a failed ubuntu install nothing booting. http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/8859/screenshotnxd.png | 17:14 |
| theMAVERICK | twitchnln: that is what I meant | 17:14 |

| spot_ | yes | 17:14 |

| spot_ | my harddisk | 17:14 |
| mint | can i install ubuntu on usb but not as live | 17:15 |
| iceroot | spot_: when you are booting your system, can you press "SHIFT" to open the grub-menu? | 17:15 |
| theMAVERICK | twitchnln: before I tinker, it is impossible to get the data off of the computer? | 17:15 |
| spot_ | nope | 17:15 |

| iceroot | mint: yes | 17:16 |
| theMAVERICK | twitchnln: because last time I rebooted with a livecd, fsck, fdisk, gparted everything i tried would not deal with this mystery GPT partition that appears out of nowhere | 17:16 |
| mint | how can i do it | 17:16 |
| escott | theMAVERICK, if you have any reason to believe that you have a gpt and msdos partition you MUST use gdisk FIRST | 17:16 |
| spot_ | iceroot:i tried hold shift, f6 ,ins ,e , nothing works | 17:16 |
| twitchnln | theMAVERICK: doubtful, but then i'm not at console so i can't say for sure, more than likely the data will be recoverable | 17:16 |
| iceroot | mint: there is no difference as in the normal installation | 17:16 |
| theMAVERICK | twitchnln: definitely not | 17:17 |
| iceroot | mint: just choose your usb-drive instead of the hardsic as target | 17:17 |
| theMAVERICK | escott: why gdisk first? | 17:17 |
| iceroot | mint: also install grub on the usb-drive instead of your harddisc | 17:17 |
| spot_ | iceroot i reinstaled grub2 , fixed it , still nothing | 17:17 |
| escott | theMAVERICK, its the only tool that can understand/allow you to modify a hybrid partition table. and without a correct partition table there is no valid partition to fsck | 17:17 |
| iceroot | spot_: press shift (imo only left-shift) is working while your pc is booting (press it very often to hit the right time) | 17:17 |
| spot_ | iceroot , yes i tried i tell you , nothing works | 17:18 |
| mint | iceroot it does not allow me to partition my usb | 17:18 |
| theMAVERICK | escott: how can I run it if it is not installed? is it standard in a livecd? | 17:19 |
| Penth | What is the little text box that pops up in the bottom right when you type in the Unity desktop? It doesn't seem to do anything. | 17:19 |
| spot_ | iceroot please just tell me how to install lilo | 17:19 |
| theMAVERICK | escott: because I just lost write privileges, I cannot install gdisk | 17:19 |
| iceroot | spot_: you cant use lilo to boot windows | 17:19 |
| iceroot | spot_: imo, because lilo cant do the chainloader-part | 17:19 |
| iceroot | spot_: and there is no reason to install lilo | 17:20 |
| escott | theMAVERICK, you have to do this from the livecd/liveusb you cant do anything with the partitions mounted | 17:20 |
| iceroot | spot_: have you used a live-cd to reinstall grub on /dev/sda? | 17:20 |
| spot_ | iceroot : so what should i do so i can boot linux or windows or windows cd ?? | 17:20 |
| BluesKaj | spot_,, holding the shift key down immediately after the bios scrn til grub appears | 17:20 |

| iceroot | ph8: it makes it hard to follow your question | 17:30 |

| ubottu | ViaNocturna85: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. | 17:30 |
| Barrak | marvell wireless? whats that | 17:31 |
| JayJSE21 | how do I do that? | 17:31 |
| ViaNocturna85 | right, Installed ndiswrapper and installed a Marvell wireless driver and its recognised and working, but it wont scan or connect | 17:31 |
| ph8 | two further questions, a) can you get the task bar back? not the menus but the 'running apps' list and b) how do i open two copies of something! I read ctrl+click in launcher but that's not working | 17:32 |
| MonkeyDust | ph8: you mean gnome-panel? | 17:33 |
| ph8 | i guess so | 17:33 |
| ph8 | the gnome panel that shows currently running apps | 17:33 |
| MonkeyDust | sudo apt-get install gnome-panel, then, i guess | 17:34 |
| spot_ | iceroot ok ,i tried with shif before it boots the drive , and nothing | 17:34 |

| lunitik | robert___: unless you need help with the hardware of the printer, there is ##hardware but idk if that is relevant either to the actual printer | 17:51 |
| pleiotropy | lunitik, yeah there is a bunch of different snd_ lines | 17:52 |
| puff | I just installed 11.10 last night and have encountered a bug. The screensaver does not un-screen save. Instead, I get a white screen. Typing my password blindly doesn't unlock things. If I close the lid so the laptop suspends and then open it to unsuspend, I get the normal unlock screen. | 17:52 |

| === Mud is now known as Guest58430 | ||
| tash | my OS is on /dev/sda | 17:54 |
| lunitik | pleiotropy: also prolly /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart | 17:55 |
| tash | escott: oh? which do you recomment? | 17:55 |
| tash | recommend* | 17:55 |
| lunitik | puff: If you are using 11.x and you didn't select something else, you are... | 17:55 |
| escott | tash, then you mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb#; mount /dev/sdb# /data where # is the partition number you want (and make sure there is no data on sdb# first | 17:55 |
| robert___ | the laptop shows it printed but no document on decktop. | 17:55 |
| spot_ | iceroot are you still here? | 17:55 |
| puff | lunitik: So it defaults to unity2d? | 17:56 |
| escott | ymer, evolution address book | 17:56 |
| pleiotropy | lunitik, pulseaudio restarted fine, alsa gives back "bash: /etc/init.d/alsa: No such file or directory" | 17:56 |
| escott | tash, parted is a cli, gparted is a gui | 17:56 |
| lunitik | puff: it falls back to unity2D if 3D doesn't work with your drivers in 11.10 | 17:56 |
| tash | I'll do parted then | 17:56 |
| tash | i'll check man page | 17:56 |
| ymer | lunitik: dpkg -S /usr/lib/evolution/e-addressbook-factory | 17:56 |

| ymer | lunitik: I don't used evolution so how to stop that, I would rather free up that memory | 17:58 |

| lunitik | AndyUbuntu: I do not think remote controls work system wide... you can try installing lirc-x to see though since it is for x in general | 18:01 |
| escott | tash, changing a partition table results in the loss of any data on that device | 18:01 |
| AndyUbuntu | oh ok | 18:01 |
| lunitik | AndyUbuntu: (X is the desktop system) | 18:02 |
| tash | yeah, so that's fine | 18:02 |
| AndyUbuntu | when i install lirc on its own though i thought you could still configure it | 18:02 |
| AndyUbuntu | yeah thats ok | 18:02 |
| tash | so, when I boot and I do fdisk -l and it lists it as /dev/sdb ... couldn't I just do fdisk /dev/sdb ? | 18:02 |
| AndyUbuntu | I would like to test if my keys are working | 18:02 |
| lunitik | AndyUbuntu: dpkg -L lirc to see what it installed... there should be something in /etc/ which can be used to configure | 18:02 |
| lunitik | AndyUbuntu: X might just set it up automagically though | 18:02 |
| AndyUbuntu | thats ok | 18:03 |

| === derp is now known as [You | ||

| nicofs | bekks, current, 11.10 | 18:11 |
| lolalololabot | Hi I'm thinking of upgrading 10.10 straight to 12.04 and leaving it for years, what do you guys think ? | 18:11 |
| EvilResistance | lolalololabot: you'd need to upgrade to 11,04 and then 11.10 first | 18:12 |
| bekks | nicofs: And according to your article, you have to download some additional firmware. No word about some "do you want to download something" upon plugin it in. | 18:12 |
| EvilResistance | lolalololabot: you can only direct-upgrade from LTS to LTS (10.04 to 12.04) | 18:12 |
| lolalololabot | EvilResistance: You're kidding me ?! | 18:12 |
| bekks | nicofs: If that doesnt work in 11.10, you have to take a look at linuxtv.org and you may find a solution there. | 18:12 |
| EvilResistance | lolalololabot: nope | 18:12 |
| lolalololabot | I'm sure I did an upgrade via a cd ? | 18:13 |
| EvilResistance | lolalololabot: from 10.04 to 10.10\ | 18:13 |
| EvilResistance | lolalololabot: that works for single-release jumps | 18:13 |
| EvilResistance | lolalololabot: but not from a non-LTS to an LTS | 18:13 |
| THE_GFR|WORK | hey everyone I have a problem I can't ssh into my ubuntu 11.10 box, and the screen is black but I can move the mouse pointer around, and the screen comes out of power saving mode ideas? | 18:13 |

| EvilResistance | lolalololabot: except if you have the version just before LTS (like 11.10 before 12.04) | 18:14 |
| lolalololabot | no - I'm sure I've skipped releases ... like edgy to miss a few | 18:14 |
| lolalololabot | Hmmmmm | 18:14 |
| Xeneth | I got a interesting questing. Writing a paper and trying to think of a way to describe the /dev folder. Would it be accurate to compare it to Windows device manager? | 18:14 |
| lolalololabot | That REALLY sux | 18:14 |
| EvilResistance | Xeneth: no it wouldnt. | 18:14 |
| raven | how to poweroff the system by command? | 18:14 |
| EvilResistance | raven: sudo shutdown -h now | 18:14 |
| escott | raven, shutdown -h now | 18:14 |
| lolalololabot | So what do I upgrade to from 10.10 if I want to remain on gtk2 ? | 18:15 |
| Chiel92 | raven: or just sudo halt | 18:15 |
| raven | escott, EvilResistance that only "halts" the system like halt, like poweroff, like anything | 18:15 |
| escott | Xeneth, no. its better to say that in unix everything is a file and dev is where the files for devices reside | 18:15 |
| EvilResistance | raven: that's what you asked for. :/ | 18:15 |
| Xeneth | EvilResistance, then how should it be described? I only have a mild understanding and the paper is a comparison of Windows and Linux | 18:15 |
| EvilResistance | Xeneth: read escott's command. | 18:15 |
| EvilResistance | er | 18:16 |
| bekks | nicofs: You have to download the archive, unpack it, and compile the driver. On details about that, you might contact the author or consult the readme of the driver. | 18:16 |
| EvilResistance | message even | 18:16 |
| lolalololabot | EvilResistance: So what do I upgrade to from 10.10 if I want to remain on gtk2 ? | 18:16 |
| raven | EvilResistance, "poweroff" is not "halt" - i asked for the first one | 18:16 |
| tash | does this sound right to do if I want to make a new hard drive 1 partition....fdisk /dev/sdb, choose "n" for new partition, choose "p" for primary partition, enter "1" so it will be /dev/sdb1, then do mkfs -t ext4 /dev/sdb1 | 18:16 |
| EvilResistance | raven: that's how you power down the system - using the halt command. | 18:16 |
| nicofs | bekks, the archive can't be opened... | 18:16 |
| EvilResistance | raven: shutdown turns off the system, but sometimes it wont actually power down. -h (halt) forces that. | 18:16 |
| tash | escott: ^ that is different than what you suggested but I found those steps here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingANewHardDrive | 18:17 |
| lolalololabot | tash: Use disk manager it's easier | 18:17 |
| EvilResistance | raven: its the same as if you hit "Shutdown" with the GUI | 18:17 |
| puff | Is "screen saver" the right phrase to us when searching for bugs related to the screen going blank and failing to unblank? | 18:17 |
| Xeneth | escott, I keep wanting to think of /dev as where the device drivers are housed. I know it's an over simplification of it so I am trying to get some detail. | 18:17 |

I recently burned Ubuntu to a CD so I could try and scan my Windows hard drive with the boot CD because I have had some recurring problems that have not been resolved with a virus scan in Windows.

| Teethbrush | Thank you again. | 18:42 |
| THE_GFR|WORK | lolalololabot: yea I don't want to start backing up a 500GB very very very bad hard drive all over again | 18:42 |
| escott | Habstinat, hfsplus is not supported in r/w mode. | 18:42 |
| Abhijit | escott, it says /home/abhijit/.Private on /home/abhijit/Private what that mean? is my whole /home is encrypted? | 18:42 |
| THE_GFR|WORK | also, ubuntu 11.10 sucks, no screen saver and no way that I could find to turn off putting the screen to sleep | 18:42 |
| escott | Abhijit, no it means the folder /home/abhijit/Private is encrypted. not the entire /home/abhijit | 18:43 |
| Abhijit | okies | 18:43 |
| Abhijit | Thank you for the clarification escott :-) | 18:43 |
| escott | Abhijit, the ciphertext is /home/abhijit/.Private | 18:43 |

| THE_GFR|WORK | lolalololabot: are you saying that ddrescue isn't as good as rsync? | 18:44 |

| escott | lolalololabot, really. in that case i guess explain to Habstinat how to do so. i always thought it wasnt | 18:44 |
| Habstinat | lolalololabot: Please explain. | 18:45 |
| lolalololabot | escott: I was rsyncing data for the lame mac users .. So I remember HFS+ being supported | 18:45 |
| escott | THE_GFR|WORK, ddrescue is a low level copy. rsync is a fast high level copy. usually rsync is used for backups | 18:46 |
| lolalololabot | escott: Copied from stupiduser.com 'Ubuntu only has support for writing to non-journaled HFS+ volumes.' | 18:46 |

| asdf- | I screwed up my ubuntu desktop/unity... i've tried reinstalling compiz/unity/etc by following guides via google... anyone have any suggestions? | 18:50 |
| urlin2u | Teethbrush, the thing to remember is that most people just reinstall it takes a pro to get some of those cleaned out so if you do end up with a reinstall clone it for future needs before infected, and always have backups of stuff you can't loose. | 18:50 |
| escott | Habstinat, it sounds like you need to boot a mac and turn off the journaling on your hfs drive. but journaling is a good feature to have. i would probably try to find another way to do things over disabling journaling | 18:50 |

| asdf- | my desktop is completely broken. I have tried reinstalling unity, ubuntu-desktop and compiz but nothing work. After logging in, I get a terminal... anyone have any suggestions? | 19:13 |
| matlock | so | 19:13 |
| escott | matlock, you must be running gdm or kdm try to stop one of those services | 19:13 |
| matlock | instead of telling me to install the drivers from nvidia.com | 19:13 |
| matlock | how about suggesting something that won't fail | 19:14 |
| matlock | cause the install didn't take | 19:14 |
| Shirakawasuna | asdf-: when you login is it from lightdm? Does it have the purple graphics screen, etc, or is it all black? | 19:14 |
| lolalololabot | matlock: you'll need to disable all your nvidia / novoeau drivers before attempting to install 285 | 19:14 |
| asdf- | Shirakawasuna, there is a purple screen and the terminal takes up the 1/4 of the top left part of the screen | 19:14 |

| Shirakawasuna | asdf-: does it look like this? http://www.muktware.com/sites/default/files/images/os/Ubuntu-lightdm-1.jpg | 19:16 |

| escott | Boontoo, you can | 19:17 |

| asdf- | Shirakawasuna, !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 19:18 |
| escott | Boontoo, what happens when you sudo apt-get install gdisk | 19:19 |
| asdf- | Shirakawasuna, it was set to "Recovery Console"... switched to Ubuntu and now it works | 19:19 |
| asdf- | Shirakawasuna, THANK YOU!!! | 19:19 |

| zelrik | 2 wallpapers that is | 19:20 |
| escott | Boontoo, add this to /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric universe | 19:20 |
| Shirakawasuna | asdf-: have fun ubuntu-ing | 19:20 |
| lolalololabot | zelrik: no can do... May I suggest windows 7 ! It rox | 19:20 |
| escott | Boontoo, assuming you are using oneiric, if you are using a different version change the codename | 19:20 |
| zelrik | lolalololabot: you re not helpful | 19:20 |
| asdf- | Shirakawasuna, i've been using ubuntu for a couple years and it was getting slow and i just started uninstalling stuff without really looking into what they did... i think that is how i screwed it up in the first place | 19:20 |
| lolalololabot | zelrik: Unless of course you want to run seperate x servers but you dont wanna do that | 19:21 |
| lolalololabot | hey zelrik - Thanks for the compliment | 19:21 |
| escott | zelrik, easiest way is create one in gimp that is the size you want | 19:21 |
| brianherman | under ubuntu can you run different video cards on the same motherboard | 19:21 |
| zelrik | I remember being able to load 2 wallpapers | 19:21 |

| Perni | hi | 19:22 |
| Shirakawasuna | asdf-: yeah, that can be a bit tricky | 19:22 |
| escott | Boontoo, run apt-get update first | 19:23 |
| escott | Boontoo, or just download the deb directly http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/gdisk | 19:24 |
| zelrik | maybe I should use a separate x screen? | 19:24 |

| dmsdms | hi guys, does 10.10 liveCD automount drives at startup? | 19:24 |
| lolalololabot | zelrik: lol your choice... You'll soon see why that's a bad idea | 19:24 |
| Darkasakerionz | the* | 19:24 |
| escott | zelrik, thats going to make your life miserable as you wont be able to drag windows from one screen to the other. one challenge is that nautilus draws the root window, and I dont know that nautilus supports multiple backgrounds | 19:24 |
| brianherman | dmsdms: it should | 19:24 |
| brianherman | dmsdms: whats the problem | 19:25 |
| Christoffer | Is there any channel for unity developmenT? | 19:25 |
| zelrik | escott: oh I had that problem before, so that s why | 19:25 |
| escott | zelrik, you could disable nautilus on the root window and use a different tool to set the background, or just make a script with imagemagick to create a properly sized image with your two backgrounds | 19:25 |
| lolalololabot | Darkasakerionz: your route has changed to your vpn .... Check your routing table | 19:25 |
| Darkasakerionz | lolalololabot, can you tell me some info for making the routes?. Thank you. | 19:26 |
| dmsdms | ergh. its long and retarded from me. i managed to rm a whole home directory. (i meant the latest offering, 11 isnt it?) and so now want to attempt to recover it. but obviously dont want the drive automounting till i can dd it. | 19:26 |
| zelrik | escott: hmm I think I ll leave it as it is for now... | 19:27 |
| dmsdms | @brianherman btw | 19:27 |
| lolalololabot | lolalololabot: what happens is that when your client connects it tries to use the default route on the remote VPN network.. When you disconnect you have internet again, right ? | 19:27 |

| diamonds | I'm having trouble copying videos from my iphone | 19:28 |
| diamonds | using a Nokia it encodes/copies fine | 19:28 |
| diamonds | but the iphone videos come thru messed up (choppy, not moving at all, etc) | 19:28 |
| diamonds | is there some little "linux trick" I need to know about to get this working, or is this a "spend half a day fixing it" thing? | 19:29 |
| escott | dmsdms, so what is the question | 19:29 |
| diamonds | for example, with DVDs it was "Install mediubuntu repos" so that was a quick fix | 19:29 |
| diamonds | I hope it's just a small thing.... | 19:30 |
| dmsdms | escott: whether liveCD automounts drives? | 19:30 |

| lolalololabot | dluzius: what happens when you unplug the power cable ? | 19:31 |
| escott | dmsdms, and its not the end of the world if it gets mounted for a second, just as long as nothing is written to it | 19:31 |
| urlin2u | diamonds, no idea I don't have a Iphone you will have to research a bit I suspect. :D | 19:31 |

| === bblbitches is now known as derp | ||
| Boontoo | it has been unpacking gdisk for like 10min | 19:37 |
| escott | Boontoo, if your system has very little free ram that could be a problem | 19:37 |
| Boontoo | I was setup for RT audio, but I have 8g | 19:38 |
| Boontoo | I should be fine | 19:38 |
| Boontoo | escott: it is totally locked up | 19:39 |
| escott | Boontoo, im not sure what to do then. I've never had trouble installing gdisk to RAM inside a livecd. is the livecd locked up? | 19:39 |
| iceroot | how to change the fontsize in tty? | 19:39 |
| urlin2u | dluzius, this a upgrade or fresh install? | 19:40 |
| Boontoo | escott: I got the shell back, I will try again | 19:40 |
| Boontoo | escott: no go, the other process is still using dpkg trying to install gdisk. It is going super slow. maybe I should eat lunch in the meantime | 19:41 |
| seanh | Ah, found the answer here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook2-1/Lucid/ | 19:41 |
| diamonds | I already installed the medibuntu non-free codecs package.... | 19:41 |
| seanh | thanks | 19:41 |
| diamonds | not sure why it's not handling a .mov | 19:41 |
| escott | Boontoo, that doesn't make sense it should be faster. everything is in ram. honestly i think you could just take the executable out of the deb and drop it into /usr/bin | 19:42 |

| spot_ | can someone help me to install grub ? i have lots of problems with it and i can't find a solution | 19:42 |
| escott | spot_, i think grub stage 1 means you are running grub 1 and not grub 1.99 AKA grub 2. that could be a problem | 19:42 |
| spot_ | how can i set what grub should run? | 19:43 |
| raptor67682 | hello world | 19:44 |
| escott | spot_, I would go through the instructions on reinstalling grub | 19:44 |
| escott | !grub | spot_ | 19:44 |
| ubottu | spot_: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

| escott | spot_, and ask questions if you have any during that process | 19:44 |
| diamonds | Medibuntu's repository is deactivated by upgrading to a newer Ubuntu release, so you should run this command again after the release upgrade. | 19:44 |

| diamonds | sorry | 19:44 |
| Boontoo | escott: then it continues with the unpacking | 19:45 |
| diamonds | why in the name of pete doesn't Ubuntu give you a flopping heads-up when it deactivates a bunch of codecs?? | 19:45 |
| diamonds | it already broke my touchpad on update... | 19:45 |
| diamonds | I feel sometimes like the Ubuntu core team dgaf about the average user's experience | 19:46 |
| Boontoo | diamonds: yeah, me too...but it's not like they get paid. I mean they are building to fit the average user | 19:46 |
| urlin2u | diamonds, it does,you have to know where, unless ypur using the dreaded software center synaptic or the terminal does. | 19:46 |
| diamonds | Boontoo: fair enough on the first point, don't see eye to eye on the second | 19:46 |
| Boontoo | diamonds: I can't use the newer versions because I have a specific setup for recording studio equipment | 19:47 |
| diamonds | urlin2u: what? I updated using the "ubuntu wants to update" dialog | 19:47 |
| diamonds | "so you should run this command again after the release upgrade. " < I mean, is this a ###ing joke? | 19:47 |
| diamonds | why not just poke a stick in my eye when I install ubuntu | 19:47 |
| Boontoo | diamonds: but if I were using a generic laptop without all sorts of specific configs, it usually works fine for me | 19:47 |
| urlin2u | diamonds, generally it tells you or you can watch the terminal for stuff being removed the terminal does for sure. | 19:48 |
| diamonds | is there some legal reason ubuntu can't preserve my old settings? | 19:48 |
| globee | Ubuntu has made it ultra easy for me to use Linux, so major kudo to the team | 19:48 |
| Boontoo | diamonds: you can always freeze your version, so as not to update except for security | 19:48 |
| diamonds | Boontoo: that's a not-very-good workaround imo :/ | 19:48 |
| Boontoo | diamonds: that should save most of your old codecs, provided you dodge the dist-upgrade | 19:48 |
| diamonds | urlin2u: I'd like a button at the end that says "Click to reenable your non-free stuff we disabled" | 19:49 |
| Boontoo | diamonds: *shrug* I dunno then | 19:49 |
| diamonds | yeah... well thanks for talking to me about it anyway! | 19:49 |
| diamonds | just my $.02 | 19:49 |
| Boontoo | diamonds: oh yeah, I understand...right now I am staring at an inoperable shell | 19:50 |
| Boontoo | wheeee | 19:50 |
| escott | diamonds, thats a support nightmare. all the workarounds for bugs in the old version get reenabled and do god knows what in the new version | 19:50 |
| rocket16 | How may I restore Ubuntu 11.10's unity 3d to default settings? | 19:50 |
| urlin2u | diamonds, hehe sure but it is a matter of using the OS long enough to understand how it works, wishes are for love . | 19:50 |
| diamonds | I REALLY want to see a *good*, easy to use, win/mac alternative OS, that's why I complain :) If I didn't care about it I'd just reinstall XP | 19:51 |
| Boontoo | urlin2u: so, do you just resolve yourself to accept system crashes? | 19:51 |
| urlin2u | Boontoo, I'm a exsperienced user that never happens. | 19:51 |
| Boontoo | urlin2u: but how long does that take? | 19:51 |
| diamonds | urlin2u: yeah... I think "there are a TON of quirks, you just have to learn to remember the series of steps to bring your computer back to how it was after an update, or just don't update at all" is *not* a good solution | 19:52 |
| escott | Boontoo, im sorry i dont know what is going on with this package, but you can probably skip using apt/dpkg and just extract the binary directly to /sbin, and look at the manual online | 19:52 |
| Boontoo | urlin2u: I have run variations of ubuntu and debian for 6 yrs | 19:52 |
| diamonds | it qualifies as "it'll do for now..." but you can't call it "good" | 19:52 |
| urlin2u | Boontoo, I have using Ubuntu and open source about 4 years never used windows before that took me about a year to figure it out. | 19:52 |
| diamonds | I mean, UI differences, I agree you just have to give it time | 19:52 |
| spot_ | i think i will buy new pc because ubuntu have broken this one , i'm tring from 3 days to fix a stupid **** | 19:52 |
| Boontoo | urlin2u: yeah, I mean when it works...I love it. But I CONSTANTLY have system crashes. Even with different distros | 19:53 |
| diamonds | but for "break a bunch of stuff on OS update," that's not something I plan on ever "getting used to" | 19:53 |
| diamonds | I assume it's a problem that will improve in time | 19:53 |
| ProxXy | Is it possible to install windows from ubuntu. By that i mean using the windows installation disc and running it FROM ubuntu, rather than installing it from fresh? | 19:53 |
| diamonds | thanks for the pointer! I think reinstalling medibuntu will fix it, I'll let you know | 19:53 |
| Boontoo | urlin2u: this is the 2nd time I have lost read/write privileges on my machine during operation and then on restart it fails to boot | 19:53 |
| Boontoo | urlin2u: on a FRESH install | 19:54 |
| Boontoo | ugh | 19:54 |
| escott | ProxXy, no. you could install to a vm, but you would have to run it out of a vm as well | 19:54 |
| Boontoo | escott: I cannt cancel the original process | 19:54 |
| diamonds | I DO like how it recognized my media keys (vol+/- pause etc.) out of the box, that was pretty impressive. | 19:54 |
| urlin2u | Boontoo, hard to say why could be hardware or technique, really what you learn is what not to do as well as correct technique. | 19:54 |
| spot_ | why ubuntu 2 instaletion stopped at Processing triggers for man-db ... Setting up grub-pc (1.98-1ubuntu12) ... ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ ? | 19:54 |
| mkanyicy | ProxXy, use virtualbox | 19:54 |
| Jordan_U | spot_: You're trying to use steps that would restore grub legacy. Ubuntu uses grub2. If you want to re-install grub2 see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#ChRoot | 19:54 |
| Boontoo | escott: plus, how do I extract the binary...if I can't dl it? | 19:54 |
| escott | Boontoo, you could just reboot and try again. not sure what is going on with the livecd | 19:54 |
| Boontoo | urlin2u: I have definitely made progress over time | 19:55 |
| Boontoo | urlin2u: but jeeez, I have lost maybe 10hrs of recorded music in the last 2 yrs | 19:55 |
| ProxXy | escott: vm? | 19:55 |
| Boontoo | escott: will do | 19:55 |
| escott | Boontoo, dpkg-deb -x gdisk-whatever.deb / ? | 19:55 |
| escott | Boontoo, it would just bypass the whole package archive which on a livecd you dont care about | 19:56 |
| Boontoo | escott: I am waiting for restart...also extremely slow. Time to manually kill it | 19:56 |
| urlin2u | Boontoo, always make copies of your stuff you can't loose, and clone the OS when it is working. | 19:56 |
| escott | ProxXy, virtual machine, runs inside another operating system | 19:56 |
| user | ubuntu server with gnome or ubuntu desktop with server | 19:56 |
| Boontoo | urlin2u: I ran a RAID 5, everything was automated backup | 19:56 |
| Boontoo | urlin2u: worked great | 19:57 |
| urlin2u | Boontoo, until it breaks. | 19:57 |
| Boontoo | urlin2u: yep | 19:57 |
| diamonds | aaargh! it didn't work :( | 19:57 |
| urlin2u | Boontoo, gotta go good luck .:D | 19:57 |
| diamonds | maybe it's not importing properly | 19:57 |

| Boontoo | yeah, but it isn't even a year old. I have gone through 5 hds!!! | 20:10 |
| escott | Boontoo, what may be happening is: (a) you have a bad disk (b) the dos partition table is being corrupted (c) its looking for a partition table and finding a valid backup gpt partition at the end of the desk | 20:11 |

| piero | Hi! I'm installing just the command line system from 11.10 alternate install and, after a dist-upgrade, I want to install a gnome3 system. But since I have not a 3d compatible video adapter I'll use the "2d rescue mode" as default. Can you tell my which packages I should install? Do I have to isntall gnome-shell, since I will not use it? (or the 2d safe mode are in gnome-shell package too?) | 20:11 |
| escott | Boontoo, that could explain the sudden switch to gpt as well as the switch to ro mode | 20:11 |
| Boontoo | escott: does ext4 write that GPT backup if it detects failure? | 20:12 |
| escott | Boontoo, make sure the disks are not being exposed to vibration and or high temperature | 20:12 |
| Boontoo | escott: I mean, this happened last week too | 20:12 |
| NickValentine | Hey all...can anyone please tell me how to import a "public key" | 20:12 |
| Boontoo | escott: I will open it up and look, but there are a ton of fans | 20:12 |
| escott | Boontoo, no GPT is a different partition scheme from dos. at this point mostly used by macs, but required for disks >3TB | 20:12 |
| escott | Boontoo, its possible to have dos and GPT on the same drive but some older tools when partitioning with dos scheme will not notice (because they dont understand) a GPT partition and won't erase the backup GPT partition | 20:13 |
| escott | Boontoo, thats why people should not be using fdisk these days | 20:13 |

| KrazyKrivda | MeQuerSat: I am aware.. hence asking for some information on how to fix it. | 21:03 |
| KrazyKrivda | :-) | 21:03 |
| escott | MeQuerSat, so grub2 is probably the wrong choice, you need one of the efi bootloaders and you need to put it into the efi partition in some special way | 21:03 |

| Lehthanis | Ok, another question. I've got an external hard drive that has a bunch of duplicate files spread all over...is there a command or series of commands (or even a script) that can find all the duplicates and list them by location? | 21:04 |
| xangua | hughissuper_: don't know, that is uo to you if you want to try 'unstable' versions | 21:04 |
| KrazyKrivda | chaos_: no.. but I believe it is NTFS to FAT32 | 21:05 |
| escott | MeQuerSat, there is a grub efi project as well as refit and a few others. some uefi systems can support bios fallback boots and you can use normal grub. i'm not familiar with all the different kinds as I don't have an efi machine | 21:05 |
| MeQuerSat | Lehthanis, I know a tool for windows that does that | 21:05 |
| hughissuper_ | xangua i mean if i want to install 2.3.1 | 21:05 |

| osrec | Hi, I have a question regarding firefox7. I had been using 3.6 but it seemed to be leaking (a lot of) memory so I tried to upgrade to 7. I downloaded the tar.bz2 available from the firefox website and extracted it to ~/Applications/firefox (it is a folder I use to keep my apps in). For some reason as soon as I ran the firefox-bin executable from that location, the upgrade seems to have... | 21:09 |
| osrec | ...happened automatically... I mean, all my icons, when clicked now load up the new version of firefox. I am not sure how this happened since I had been working with the original installation of firefox on lucid... Also, my $PATH is "/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games". Can anyone offer me an explanation? Thanks | 21:09 |

| Jonii | There was this System settings -> System info -> Default programs -path where settings don't seem to have any effect whatsoever | 21:10 |
| Jonii | So I'm guessing I'm supposed to look elsewhere, but I can't think of where. Google gives unusually many unrelated hits, too :| | 21:11 |
| guntbert | osrec: a possible explanation: FF7 might have altered your nautilus config files to insert itself (with complete path of course) | 21:12 |

| hzilla | hi having a small problem. i have some environment variables eg. PATH set in /etc/environment but when i run some commands in rc.local on boot (presumably as root) the commands are logged as not found because i think the PATH is different for that user.

| strange | i really dislike how ubuntu is moving towards catering to the mentally challenged | 21:35 |
| jclbrt | but when trying to access other machines on my LAN it cant resolve them by name only by IP | 21:35 |
| MeQuerSat | Jordan_U, I installed it via usb (ubuntu-server 11.10 amd64) | 21:35 |
| guntbert | Jonii: it is "open with other application" | 21:35 |
| Jonii | guntbert: oh, right | 21:35 |
| histo | hzilla: set them in rc.local then | 21:35 |
| jclbrt | i'd like to not set my clients with a static IP but i'd like to use DNS | 21:35 |

| Jordan_U | MeQuerSat: You don't need to do a complete re-install, you can just re-install grub-efi. | 21:35 |
| histo | jclbrt: you mean use dhcp | 21:35 |
| jclbrt | huh? | 21:35 |
| histo | jclbrt: are the other machines windows boxes? | 21:35 |
| hzilla | histo: would they then be available system wide? | 21:35 |

| histo | hzilla: i don't know | 21:36 |
| texaswriter | strange: Ubuntu (main-stay) is catering to a broader base of devices (notably phone and tablet). Also, this is to beat Microsoft to a tablet-style interface (Metro and all). | 21:36 |
| MeQuerSat | Jordan_U, I booted the server cd and selected rescue and then reinstall grub | 21:36 |
| histo | jclbrt: you need winbind to resolve by hostname on the linux machine or you have to add the windows boxess by name and ip to /etc/hosts | 21:36 |
| alexxio | hi, i am wondering if it's better to use open source ati drivers or proprietary ones. what have the best performances? | 21:36 |
| MeQuerSat | Jordan_U, that didnt help | 21:36 |
| jclbrt | ohhh i see | 21:36 |
| jclbrt | do'h | 21:37 |
| Jordan_U | MeQuerSat: With EFI, the firmware stores the default bootloader, and grub-install sets itself as the default bootloader. I think that adding the --removable option to grub-install might allow it to be detected after a CMOS reset but I'm not sure. #grub would know better. | 21:37 |
| texaswriter | strange: If you don't like these changes, Xubuntu is going to result in a similar experience to Gnome 2. Otherwise, Kubuntu, Lubuntu, etc | 21:37 |
| jclbrt | i cant believe i forgot winbind | 21:37 |
| jclbrt | i did know about the /etc/hosts file, but i was trying to avoid setting static ips | 21:37 |
| histo | jclbrt: if you want to use the winbind method you also have to edit /etc/resolv.conf and add wins to the resolve line i believe | 21:37 |
| strange | texaswriter, i cant disable it not maximizing when i move up? | 21:37 |
| strange | ? lubuntu | 21:37 |
| Jordan_U | MeQuerSat: Did you explicitly install grub-efi? If not, then you've likely been using grub-pc via BIOS (which is perfectly fine). | 21:37 |
| histo | jclbrt: Keep in mind the last time I used winbind I had issues with browsing on that box. | 21:37 |
| histo | jclbrt: if you just want to network browse them by hostname you just need samba stuff installed | 21:38 |

| jclbrt | cant hurt to try it i suppose jakemp-laptop | 22:09 |
| Thelmaria | SomeoneWeirdTAFE: It might not be setting variables system wide (ie, not for whatever user you're running apt as). You could try exporting as root, if you're comfortable doing that. | 22:09 |
| jclbrt | tarball is compressed tho | 22:09 |
| jclbrt | so it either contains the source or the packages for different distros | 22:10 |

| jclbrt | if it's a fresh install it should've been i think | 22:19 |
| Thelmaria | hughissuper_: open a file called something.sh, then basically copy the script I linked you except change the package names. Needs to start with #!/bin/bash. Then just run 'sh something.sh' to run it. | 22:19 |
| Thelmaria | hughissuper_: oops. 'sudo sh something.sh' because it's got apt- in it, and you'd want to run that as admin. | 22:19 |
| hughissuper_ | ok standby | 22:19 |
| escott | squires, using device ids is the wrong way to document this. the kernel cannot guarantee the names across boot, and a future user may swap disks around | 22:19 |
| hughissuper_ | Thelmaria, ^ | 22:19 |

If nothing is being held back due to dependency issues (which nothing should be if everything is working correctly) "apt-get dist-upgrade" is equivalent to "apt-get upgrade". | 22:29 |

| Jordan_U | pcg: Why do you need the latest version of gcc and gdb? | 22:31 |
| carl_ | lu | 22:31 |
| Jordan_U | zivester: Add "timeout=5" to /boot/grub/custom.cfg (creating that file if it doesn't already exist). | 22:32 |
| pcg | Jordan_U: because some changes were made involving forward declarations and typedefs such that my code requires something newer (confirmed working on gcc 4.6). | 22:32 |

| pcg | Jordan_U: Thank you for your help. | 22:34 |
| zivester | i dont think its the timeout variable.. because on a sucessful reboot the timeout does happen, and it boots... im thinking its a feature of ubuntu server in that if you power off your machine, something is probably wrong, so it wants you to confirm before botting | 22:34 |
| Jordan_U | pcg: You're welcome. | 22:34 |

| kenichi | jclbrt, got it. thx. | 22:35 |

| escott | goddard, if its not in debug1 try -vv to see debug2 you should get a message that it was refused/invalid | 23:16 |

| matlock | that and the fact that it worked before i installed the nvidia driver? | 23:27 |
| escott | pnorman, making backups to something smaller is a bit odd. rsync can keep your backups from blowing up by using hard links, but if you backup everything its still going to be bigger | 23:27 |
| rallias | pnorman you can have it backup root and exclude anything other then /home and /srv | 23:27 |
| escott | pnorman, maybe setup and LVM JBOD and plan to expand later | 23:28 |
| matlock | hello? | 23:28 |
| matlock | I run gl-dock and absolutely nothing happens | 23:28 |
| pnorman | escott: My / volume is 3 TB and I'm planning on increasing it to 4 TB. Some of that won't be backed up, but I'm still over 1 TB of data | 23:28 |

| matlock | no | 23:32 |
| brontosaurusrex | matlock, try to rename the cairo conf | 23:32 |
| escott | matlock, then check your /var/log/Xorg.0.log and make sure you are on the nv driver (assuming thats what you want to be running) | 23:32 |
| escott | pnorman, well it sounds like LVM JBOD is what you need if you have enough ports to keep all these drives plugged in | 23:33 |

Running ubuntu 10.04 | 23:42 |
| * conntrack castles | 23:42 | |
| TimothyA | 11% [1 zip 38.1kB/334kB 11%] it has been stuck there for TWO HOURS | 23:42 |
| pnorman | The problem I'm having is writing the scripts to do all of the backup work from a few command line commands | 23:42 |
| drewls | squires: i just want all files of a certain directory named in a .txt file | 23:43 |
| bastidrazor | TimothyA: use a different mirror | 23:43 |
| blsh0p | bastidrazor theres like 14 options or things with libpoco | 23:43 |
| blsh0p | which do i want? | 23:43 |
| TimothyA | bastidrazor: *which* mirror? | 23:43 |
| bastidrazor | blsh0p: pick one and install. | 23:43 |
| bastidrazor | TimothyA: software sources can find the best ping to the server and you use that. | 23:43 |
| blsh0p | how do i know its the right one? | 23:43 |
| squires | drewls: ok, what is it about find that doesn't meet your needs? | 23:44 |
| matlock | allright | 23:44 |
| matlock | thanks for not helping room | 23:44 |
| matlock | i got it fixed on my own | 23:44 |

| TimothyA | that's the mirror I use as well: INVALID | 23:46 |
| blsh0p | what is libpoco exactly? | 23:46 |

| CrOnOs2000 | warfaren, have you check your memory ? | 23:47 |
| warfaren | memtest86? | 23:47 |
| JosephHarretha | blsh0p, Its a development Library related to C++ development | 23:48 |
| blsh0p | how do i use it? | 23:48 |
| warfaren | guess i should do that.. thanks. bbl | 23:48 |
| JosephHarretha | blsh0p, Are you a C++ programmer? | 23:48 |
| blsh0p | no | 23:48 |
| JosephHarretha | blsh0p, Then you don't need to know how. | 23:48 |
| blsh0p | but apparently i need it to use a multitouchpad | 23:48 |
| blsh0p | i found this thing online shows how to make a multi touchpad with a webcam | 23:48 |
| JosephHarretha | blsh0p, Install it, an application that uses it will use it. All you have to do is install it. | 23:49 |
| blsh0p | but it says i need libpoco | 23:49 |
| blsh0p | which do i install? | 23:49 |
| urist_ | hello everyone... I'm wondering if anyone else is having slow internet connections since Ubuntu 11.10 updates? | 23:49 |
| JosephHarretha | sudo apt-get install libpoco ... | 23:49 |
| zruty | How do I set my automatic update servers to something else? The current servers are no longer operational. | 23:49 |
| CrOnOs2000 | warfaren, yea memtest will work memory problems some times makes problems like yours | 23:49 |
| JosephHarretha | urist_, I had someone say they did yesterday, I wasen't able to help them. Can you do lspci | grep -i net, and put the output on paste bin, sending me a link to it? | 23:50 |
| bastidrazor | zruty: software sources > Download from > Other > Select Best Server | 23:50 |
| blsh0p | josephharretha where is it located? | 23:50 |
| warfaren | thx CrOnOs2000 i am running it now | 23:50 |
| pnorman | It looks like my best bet might be to backup /home to one drive and /srv to another so they both fit on a single drive | 23:50 |
| urist_ | JosephHarretha, sure let me try that | 23:50 |
| blsh0p | it says unable to locate package | 23:50 |
| JosephHarretha | blsh0p, Just go to the terminal, and install it. Simple, sudo apt-get install libpoco. | 23:50 |
| * R3db3ard 's trusty macbuntu is sexier than your wife... argh!! | 23:50 | |
| JZApples | Is there a way to change Dragon Player so that the scroll wheel changes volume instead of seeking the video? | 23:50 |
| TimothyA | okay, NONE of those mirrors work | 23:51 |
| blsh0p | i did that | 23:51 |
| TimothyA | they're all moving at 1 byte per second | 23:51 |
| blsh0p | it says unable to locate package | 23:51 |
| JosephHarretha | TimothyA, Then its not the mirror, its your connection. | 23:51 |
| tolmun | how is right way to deal with fan control on laptop with lucid? | 23:51 |
| JosephHarretha | blsh0p, *Sigh*, alright gimme a second. | 23:51 |
| blsh0p | k | 23:51 |
| JosephHarretha | blsh0p,Try libpoco-dev , failing that, do "dpkg --get-selections | grep -i libpoco" to make sure its not alredy in there | 23:52 |
| kostasa | Hi I have a problem with java code | 23:52 |
| kostasa | can anyone help me?:) | 23:52 |
| tomodachi | kostasa: this is an ubuntu channel , not really a java channel | 23:52 |
| JosephHarretha | kostasa, Shouldnt you ask that in the Java coders IRC channel? | 23:52 |
| dluzius | how do I gety a battery indicator in ocelot | 23:52 |
| JosephHarretha | kostasa, try #java , just a guess haha | 23:53 |
| kostasa | thanksssss | 23:53 |
| kostasa | haha | 23:53 |
| itaylor57 | kostasa, ##java | 23:53 |
| blsh0p | it showed a list of libpoco items | 23:53 |
| blsh0p | with install right next to them | 23:53 |
| blsh0p | libpoco-devinstall | 23:53 |
| blsh0p | libpococrypto9install | 23:53 |
| blsh0p | thats what showed up | 23:53 |
| zruty | bastidrazor: Thanks! That si doing something... I enevr even knew about that. That I had to go to sources.list or something... | 23:54 |
| blsh0p | but with like 10 others | 23:54 |
| JosephHarretha | blsh0p, okay, that means you alredy have it., see libpoco-dev in there ? | 23:54 |
| blsh0p | yes | 23:54 |
| blsh0p | but how do i use it with an application? | 23:54 |
| tolmun | /usr/sbin/pwmconfig: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed | 23:54 |
| tolmun | what? i need | 23:54 |
| bastidrazor | zruty: software sources makes changes to your sources.list for you. there is a GUI way to almost everything now. | 23:54 |
| ironhalik | anyone knows if power managment is supported on b43 driver? | 23:55 |
| JosephHarretha | blsh0p, You alredy have it installed. You don't need to, the developer programs his application to use functions in that library. So the application will use it, you just worry about using whatever application that's using it. | 23:55 |
| dluzius | how do I gety a battery indicator in ocelot | 23:55 |
| szal | bastidrazor: with the stress on 'almost' ;) | 23:55 |
| blsh0p | ok thanks josephharretha | 23:55 |
| JosephHarretha | blsh0p, No problem :) | 23:55 |
| bastidrazor | szal: :) | 23:56 |
| gravytrane | i loaded the kde desktop on 11.10, went back to unity but splash screen before login is still kubuntu, how i put back to default splash? | 23:56 |
| szal | and even so, sometimes editing config files is the better way to do things :) | 23:56 |
| JosephHarretha | gravytrane, Dang it, I know how to do this one, gimme a seccond to look it up. | 23:57 |
| dluzius | how do I get a battery indicator in ocelot | 23:57 |
| JosephHarretha | gravytrane, sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth | 23:58 |
| escott | dluzius, there should be one, but it may be hidden if you are running off ac | 23:58 |
| JosephHarretha | dluzius, If you have a battery, It should be in the top left corner. I am running on AC and its there, little chargy icon. | 23:58 |
| gravytrane | k ill try it | 23:58 |
| zruty | bastidrazor: So I notice.... I would have been okay to do it in sources.list directly except that I do not know the names of all those servers. The GUI has that list, I see. And can test which one works best. Cool! | 23:59 |
| JosephHarretha | Actually.... Mine says battary not present -.- ... but thats because my battery is lucky to last 15 minutes. | 23:59 |
| bastidrazor | zruty: correct. software sources will ping each server and offer you the fastest ping. | 23:59 |
| JosephHarretha | gravytrane, Alright, :) | 23:59 |
