[00:00] Anyone able to tell me how to switch the repository to Oneric to get Steel Storm operating? [00:00] So, I'll ask again: What's going on? Is Ubuntu simply wildly inferior compared to Windows in terms of energy comsumption, or is there something I could do to even this out? [00:01] does anyone know how to get sound working over an HDMI link with Ubuntu 11.10 amd64> [00:01] Google is not being all that helpful [00:01] Jonii: is it a new laptop? [00:02] I'm guessing silence means no one knows... === corey_ is now known as Guest22527 [00:04] Seeing as how I've been all over Google to try to figure out how to switch a dang repository which happens to be a "commercial" one and there's nothing on google, that left this as my last option... anyone at all know how to fix this, its an actual bug that can be fixed by switching a repository is all... If someone cna tell me how to do it, I'll be all set [00:04] yeah, I get that silence a lot anders_office [00:04] Hello! My halt button desapeared from my KDE menu, and if I put, wih root, at terminal "halt", my system freezes at halt screen :-S [00:04] woops [00:04] a [00:04] AndrewEMT: [00:04] havent tried xbmc auto ligin yet. but you could put xbmc in the autostart folder im guessing [00:05] dr_willis: yeah I could, but that kind of defeats the point - I'm trying to get XBMC to load on it's own as a standalone [00:05] I feel for ya willwork4foo [00:05] in order to waste minimal resources [00:05] newb: sure you dont want shutdown, to power off. [00:06] if I let my system load unity / whatever, THEN load XBMC - total waste of resources. And this box is an Atom-based 2GB RAM system that I want to put behind my TV [00:06] dr_willis: ah, yes! thanks [00:06] I'm installing gnome now so that I can use gdmsetup - perhaps that'll fix it!!! [00:06] dr_willis: I want poweroff my machine [00:06] Other question I've got - does anyone know how to get sound working properly over an HDMI link with Ubuntu? [00:07] willwork4foo: i can test it later. you could see if starting via startx gives errors. [00:07] or see if it works with gdm instead of lightdm [00:07] hello, anyone from canonical here? i work for rightscale and we need a set of aki+ari in the new aws region to support our platform [00:08] dr_willis: good tip, I'm switching to gdm and seeing if that works. [00:08] ciao [00:08] nevermind, I figured it'd be a simple answer, nice how people just get ignored in here... Guess Ubuntu isn't really for the masses after all, maybe back to Windows for me. I see what my friends were talking about about these rooms and the rudeness! [00:09] willwork4foo: you could setup a lighter desktop if your own to just run xbmc also. [00:09] dr_willis: how? [00:09] Is it possible to send packets with non-ascii glyphs? [00:09] lol @ willwork4foo, nice handle [00:09] I've been trying to work that one out [00:09] thanks Cyberspaceloa [00:09] how can I reset my password for freenode?

[01:10] oh [01:10] <|izzie> thanks, bobweaver! [01:11] vladimirsanchez: in linux it is called a modual and then there is firmware and that is what makes up a wireless driver well kinda [01:11] Cyberspaceloa, i've read the thread and no... it's not my case :/ the unam -a shapes well the grub kernel options [01:11] i thought b43 has been replaced by the sta driver/module in most cases? or am i confused again [01:12] bobweaver: np, rebooted already.... do i need 'iwconfig key ' ? and that sort of stuff? [01:12] vladimirsanchez: no just select the wireless symbol [01:12] Cyberspaceloa, by the way ... another thing (don't know if it's relevant or not) but «cat /dev/psaux» gives me a Permission Denied erro [01:13] dr_willis: the wl does also work for some chipsets that use the b43 see http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 [01:13] bobweaver: ok, it says "no network connection" [01:13] vladimirsanchez: the wireless symbol in the top right hand side ? in the panel ? [01:14] wbBlueDave, right now I'm googling the error you get for synclient [01:14] bobweaver: yep [01:14] dr_willis: how about the suggestion of making a separate partition for root that's around 150mb in size? [01:14] vladimirsanchez: in terminal iwlist scan [01:14] bobweaver: didnt load? [01:15] vladimirsanchez: might need sudo iwlist scan [01:15] wbBlueDave, do you have a section in your xorg.conf for the touchpad? [01:15] Jonii: 150mb for /? i make mine at least 10 to 30 gb.

[01:17] Cyberspaceloa, the second ugly thing is that i've tryed to configure the touchpad in the xorg.conf file ... boot after rebooting ... X don't start anymore :/ [01:17] |izzie: unity uses gnome also....

[01:24] Cyberspaceloa, ok done but seemed like nothing happened [01:24] Jonii: huh? / is different then /root. i dont see a need for /root/ on its own partition [01:24] shawn186: Which do you need? === jsurfer_ is now known as jsurfer [01:24] try the synclient [01:25] synclient -l [01:25] Nvidia geforce 7600 GS [01:25] dr_willis: okay. That's kinda what I thought, but ubuntu installation guide for 11.10 recommends you to make your own partition for root [01:25] bobweaver: BlueToothed it! :D [01:25] Cyberspaceloa, same error ... drivers not loaded... [01:25] :( [01:25] bobweaver: its in my home folder [01:25] Jonii: sure its not a typo for /boot [01:25] vladimirsanchez: now put that .tar into the Wireless folder [01:26] I have absolutely no idea :/ [01:26] vladimirsanchez: the folder we just made [01:26] done [01:26] ?

[01:26] 32 [01:26] vladimirsanchez: cd /lib/firmware [01:27] Jonii: common setup /boot / /home and swap. 4 partitions [01:27] you'll most likely get the same results, but it might be worthwhile [01:27] vladimirsanchez: sudo -i [01:27] Cyberspaceloa, ok ... what exactly should i reinstall? synaptic? [01:27] k [01:27] vladimirsanchez: you are in firmware right ?> [01:27] untar [01:27] yep [01:27] vladimirsanchez: tar -xzf b43-all-fw.tar_.gz [01:28] shawn186: Here you go: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-ia32-285.05.09-driver.html [01:28] bbl [01:28] dr_willis: oh, maybe I misunderstoof that, then [01:28] wbBlueDave, the same package you used with dpkg-reinstall === mfisch is now known as Guest83317 [01:28] wbBlueDave, are you running unity?

[01:33] same damn error Cyberspaceloa :( [01:33] vladimirsanchez: it is the firmware that gets hung up [01:33] how do i open it luis_ ? [01:33] shoot [01:33] next tactic [01:33] vladimirsanchez: that is also patched for injection and monitor [01:33] bobweaver: Ubuntu should fix this... [01:33] wbBlueDave, fire up gconf-editor [01:34] Cyberspaceloa, :) i have both dconf/gconf editors [01:34] ok [01:34] bobweaver: it would get tons more following if fixed... [01:34] vladimirsanchez: that is propratary software for you [01:34] bobweaver: true [01:34] ok im ok Cyberspaceloa [01:34] wbBlueDave, desktop->gnome->peripherals [01:34] im on [01:34] shawn186: go to the folder you downloaded it to and cd to that directory then type the file name exactly as it appears it should run [01:34] then touchpad [01:34] any settings you can see there? [01:34] ok im on [01:35] "horiz_scroll_enabled" is what mine says [01:35] mine not [01:35] no keys at all? === ericm-Zzz is now known as ericm [01:35] Ubuntu software center is not letting me install from a .deb file.....I click "Install" and the button lags a minute and resets. [01:35] yes eys there are keys ... but not the horizontal scrolling Cyberspaceloa [01:36] Just use the command [01:36] are there any relevant keys, wbBlueDave? [01:36] For installing worlfmichael [01:36] What command? [01:36] sudo dpkg -i something.deb [01:36] I need to install from a .deb [01:36] Ik, thats the command [01:36] shawn186: I forgot type sh before the file [01:36] Ok [01:36] bobweaver: Words cannot express my gratitude... you're awesome and now made me continue enjoying my 8 year old powerbook now with Ubunty 10 [01:36] Cyberspaceloa, i see scroll method - edge scrolling which is good [01:37] does fiddling with the keys actually change the touchpad behavior? [01:37] bobweaver: should I be concerned about upgrading to 11? [01:37] Dont do it if you have slow comp [01:37] vladimirsanchez: No you did :>) upgrading ? you might want to save that tar file. [01:37] what no Cyberspaceloa actualy not :/ [01:37] shawn186: Here is an example:.... sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-285.05.09.run [01:38] it [01:38] its in my DropBox [01:38] :D [01:38] dang it [01:38] Is there any reliable way to convert a gpt partition disk to mbr? [01:38] bobweaver: how did u figure the b43 file was missing, from the settings.txt ? [01:39] hey guys, i need some help :( I am already compiled my own kernel. how do i get it to a livecd or something so that i can install it on another machine? ive spent almost 20 hours researching this and cant figure out how to do it. please help . === Logan_ is now known as Eating [01:40] shawn186: Did it work? [01:41] Cyberspaceloa, do you think that a reboot may be necessary? [01:41] hello, i'm trying to do a minimal install using the ubuntu 11.10 mini.iso, i;ve installed just fine via virtualbox but when i try to install to my laptop from my usb i can't seem to get the network working [01:41] wbBlueDave, don't think so [01:41] I'm researching, I'll be back in a few seconds === KIAaze is now known as KIAaze_away [01:42] ok Cyberspaceloa [01:42] vladimirsanchez: wireless is kinda like this check to make sure hardware is seen and mods are working and up to date. if so look in dmesg | grep if no error then search googlubuntu using the number from the lspci -nn in your case lspci -nn | grep 14e4 do you see the part in red that is the main part that you want to look at . hopes this helps and enjoy :>) [01:42] bobweaver: never mind... I appreciate your help. Truly. Now Updating my installation.. [01:42] i have an eht0 interface, i have tryed just hooking up the ethernet cable from my modem but that didn't work either [01:42] wbBlueDave, have you tried modprobing any drivers for this problem? [01:42] On a Dell Inspiron 1501, I get absolutely NO network at all. lspci shows NO network interfaces, and I've only managed to get wireless to say it is unclaimed after following the STA (No internet access) installation here: http://goo.gl/XtQeQ [01:42] no Cyberspaceloa never tryed... and i don't even know how to do it [01:42] bobweaver: :D Love you man! [01:43] lol [01:43] wbBlueDave, let me explain a bit [01:43] I'm sure you are familiar with the concept of a driver. Linux has the ability to plug or unplug in driver files during runtime in order to run various hardware [01:44] the modprobe command either loads or removes a driver file for you [01:44] you don't have a true install from the mini.iso either so you don't have access to iwlist or iwconfig either [01:44] the lsmod command shows a list of all running drivers [01:44] bobweaver: would you please repeat that last message so I can save it to my transcript? [01:44] anyone have any advice? [01:44] I accidentally closed my session... === KIAaze_away is now known as KIAaze [01:44] Is there a way to browse my home folder from via http? I've never used httpd, but I want to know if it's plausible. [01:44] wbBlueDave, try: lsmod | grep mouse [01:45] what__ [01:45] Cyberspaceloa, ok then ... i think i did modprobed something [01:45] shawn186: Hows the progress? [01:45] i have psmouse on my lsmod output [01:46] hey everyone. I think i have a better /easier idea. How do i change the default install filesystem for ubuntu iso? [01:46] do you remember what you used modprobe with? [01:46] Cyberspaceloa, it's the file that i've created in /etc/modprobe.d/ [01:46] yes [01:46] Cyberspaceloa, options psmouse proto=imps [01:46] that's alla [01:46] ah [01:46] the command is different from that settings file [01:46] did you try: lsmod | grep mouse [01:47] oh yes, I see now [01:47] yes [01:47] does anyone have any experience installing the ubuntu mini.iso or the server edition and configuring the network ? dhcpd doesn't seem to work for me [01:47] i get psmuse [01:47] ? [01:47] k, hold on [01:47] and the id of the process [01:47] number19: card is good and mods are loaded ? [01:48] wbBlueDave, try: egrep -i 'synap|alps|etps' /proc/bus/input/devices [01:48] i dunno if the mods are loaded, i can't find a wireless interface only the eth0, and yes the card is good [01:48] Okay I just bought an Asus P5G41T-M LX motherboard, it has an atheros AR8131 on it but I cannot get it to work === Generalcamo is now known as Generalcamo|lapt === Generalcamo|lapt is now known as Generalcamolinux [01:49] Cyberspaceloa, nothing hapopened [01:49] happened * [01:49] hmm [01:49] how do I remove something in ubuntu? [01:50] number19: could we see the out put of lspci -nn && lsmod in paste.ubuntu.com please [01:50] shawn186: define 'something' [01:50] what is the name of the settings file in /etc/modprobe.d/ ? [01:50] any program [01:50] why is their so little system settings [01:50] I have NO network interfaces on a Dell Inspiron 1501. After following STA (No internet access) here: http://goo.gl/XtQeQ the wifi shows up after lspci, and lshw -C network says it's unclaimed. I would like to have both ethernet and wifi working, but ONE (pref. wifi) would be good... [01:50] not even half of 10.10 [01:50] Cyberspaceloa, the name of the file is psmouse.conf [01:51] okay [01:51] wbBlueDave, this is about the last thing I know to try [01:51] it's advice from this page: http://wiki.debian.org/SynapticsTouchpad [01:51] shawn186: whatever you install programs with is as good for removing programs [01:51] i cross my fingers Cyberspaceloa [01:51] OttifantSir: do you have a picture phone with internet or some way to upload some commands ? [01:51] at the moment i'm on my installed system, would it still be helpful? i can't try to boot from the usb and irc with no internet at the same time [01:52] how do I remove NVIDIA X server? [01:52] we will try to remove the psmouse driver, send an option, and then see if it works properly [01:52] shawn186: there is no such thing as 'NVIDIA X server' [01:52] number19: do you have a picture phone with internet or some way to upload some commands ? [01:52] yea there is [01:52] ok Cyberspaceloa im ready ! ... this is war!! :) [01:52] I want to uninstall the app [01:52] bobweaver: I'm on one of my other computers at the moment, so I guess, yes [01:52] hehe [01:52] no, there isn't.. theres the X server, and there's the Nvidia driver, if you installed it [01:53] okay the first command is: sudo modprobe -r psmouse [01:53] bobweaver: what do you mean? [01:53] the second command is: sudo modprobe psmouse proto=imps [01:53] ok.. I have a window open with the title NVIDIA X Server Settings === jsurfer_ is now known as jsurfer [01:53] OttifantSir: please open terminal and type in lspci -nn && lsmod then somehow upload that so I can see thanks [01:53] http://paste.ubuntu.com/733773/ [01:54] ok Cyberspaceloa [01:54] done [01:54] there is the lspci -nn output [01:54] did it halp? [01:54] shawn186: that's the X server settings as set by the Nvidia driver [01:54] ehm no.. :( Cyberspaceloa [01:54] shoot [01:54] how do I uninstall all nvidia drivers [01:55] shawn186: i don't think you can remove that without removing the drivers also [01:55] that earlier command should have shown the name of the synaptics touchpad [01:55] http://paste.ubuntu.com/733774/ there is the lsmod output [01:55] since yours didn't output anything, I have no idea [01:55] I'm kind of shocked it works at all [01:55] that didn't really answer my question [01:55] shawn186: open your favourite package management application, search for 'nvidia' & remove everything that shows as installed [01:55] ah [01:55] bobweaver: Which parts are you interested in? It would take half the night writing down the entire output [01:56] hi guys. i have a blocked tcp connection from myself outgoing on port 8093. i'm wondering what this is for? is it anything necessary and if not how can i make it go away? [01:56] is their one that comes default with ubuntu? [01:56] one what? [01:56] Cyberspaceloa, :( i'm shocked that it's so wierd [01:56] what you just mentioned [01:56] Hello all [01:56] I guess sony likes to do things different than everyone else [01:56] i smell a trace of short term loss [01:56] sry I couldn't help! === fling is now known as Guest98801 [01:56] OttifantSir: try lspci -nn | grep Network [01:56] I feel like I learned a bit more [01:57] OttifantSir: 1st please [01:57] number19: lsmod please [01:57] My LAN connection just randomly stopped working an hour and a bit ago. The physical connection is fine. I now have it plugged into a laptop and it's working great. How do I fix this? Helllllllllp! [01:57] bobweaver: i only have a busybox shell in the mini.iso install, i don't have access to the commands i'm used to having to configure networking [01:57] Cyberspaceloa, thank you very very very much for the time and the constructive and interactive support ! [01:57] http://paste.ubuntu.com/733774/ there is the lsmod output [01:57] Running 11.10 with all the updates, gradually putting up with Unity. [01:57] shawn186: if you're looking for a graphical one, most probably PackageKit or muon [01:57] np wbBlueDave, hopefully you have some extra research ideas. I hope you get it running soon [01:57] Any ideas? [01:57] number19: ohh that is different [01:58] * szal uses aptitude almost exclusively [01:58] Even someone just pointing me in the direction of a really good troubleshooting guide for LAN internet connections would be great. [01:58] yeah, its not an fully installed system, it downloads alot of the install from the net, the mini.iso is only 26mb [01:58] its similar to the server edition [01:58] Cyberspaceloa, i hope that too :) [01:58] my plan is just to install a minimal gnome shell enviroment of ubuntu [01:58] number19: yeah I thought you where installed [01:58] well how to install snort on ubuntu 10.04 with mysql and apache? [01:59] thank you szal [01:59] Hello? [01:59] Any ideas people? [01:59] anyone who can help me? [01:59] hi guys. i have a blocked tcp connection from myself outgoing on port 8093. i'm wondering what this is for? is it anything necessary and if not how can i make it go away? [01:59] number19: md5sum is good ? [01:59] nope, can't install without configuring the network first, i should be able to just plug up the ethernet cable from my modem to my computer and it should work because the eth0 interface is there [01:59] but for some reason it doesn't [01:59] bobweaver: yep [02:00] ;( [02:00] number19: try to look for the mods and the firmware and see if they need to be added . also no error ? [02:00] bobweaver: lsmod output - http://paste.ubuntu.com/733778/ lspci output - http://paste.ubuntu.com/733780/ [02:00] how do I close an x server? [02:00] nope, no error [02:01] i'm pretty sure they do because i can't find a wireless interface like wlan0 [02:01] number19: type into the terminal iwconfig [02:01] Hi, I am considering buying a Kobo eReader, however I don't know how easy it'll be to sync with Ubuntu. I've done some searching, and their isn't a dedicated client yet, though it wouldn't be hard to make. I'm wondering if it'll function like a normal MP3 player though, where I can just drag files over in Nautilus or mv them in gnome-terminal [02:01] number19: does anything come up? [02:01] ~ereader [02:01] OttifantSir: sudo rmmod wl then sudo modprobe b43 [02:02] evilresistance, thats the fisrt thing i tryed but i only have a busybox shell its not a fully installed system yet so i don't have access to iwconfig === Eating is now known as Logan_ [02:02] upgrayeddd: that wont help you - there's no bot factoid about ereaders [02:02] hi. no fglrx 8.902/catalyst 11.10 on oneiric? [02:02] what would be an accepted way to create the /run/lvm directory after booting? It's needed for clvm. [02:02] apparently EvilResistance [02:03] bobweaver: even if i did figure out the firmware i needed i'm not sure i can put that on the usb along with the mini.iso [02:03] *sigh* i just want a minimal install of ubuntu 11.10 [02:03] number19: bingo I just had to do that with a old dell box [02:03] sweet, so its possible [02:03] well that gives me hope [02:03] bobweaver: Network Manager now says that the firmware is missing, instead of No Network. Still no network though. Restart the offending machine? Or restart the network? [02:03] http://www.dawning.ca/2010/kobo-ereader-unboxed-linux/ this helps [02:04] looks like it runs fine under wine with my distro version (10.04) [02:05] bobweaver: how did you do it? [02:05] OttifantSir: please download this file http://www.omattos.com/sites/default/files/b43-all-fw.tar_.gz [02:05] number19: It would not connect with out the e100 .dll or something like that [02:06] so I moved it over [02:06] word, now i need to figure out what firmware i need and drop it in an accessible folder on the usb === jsurfer_ is now known as jsurfer [02:06] OttifantSir: after downloading file please move it over to your ubuntu box [02:06] bobweaver: Done. Now what? [02:06] OttifantSir: after downloading file please move it over to your ubuntu box [02:07] bobweaver: Yeah, already did that. [02:07] OttifantSir: cool [02:08] bobweaver: how would i figure out what firmware i need, is there a site i can put my lspci or lsmod output and find out? [02:08] is there a way to launch a terminal from a lucid USB? [02:08] OttifantSir: in your home folder please make a dir called Wireless and put the tar doc in there [02:08] the same laptop i'm trying to get online has kubuntu on it and networking configured itself [02:08] bobweaver: another one bites the dust :D Like me... [02:08] i've also had the ubuntu 11.04 and 11.10 full installs on them several times and networking sets itself up just fine [02:09] vladimirsanchez: same thing [02:09] bobweaver: PPC? [02:09] vladimirsanchez: nope but same b43 mod needed [02:09] bobweaver: The .gz-file is in "wireless" in my home folder [02:09] firware sorry [02:10] OttifantSir: sudo cp -r ~/wireless/* /lib/firmware/ [02:10] i need to run a terminal from the usb without booting, i can do it with an edgy usb, but how do i do it with lucid? [02:10] Is anyone by any chance having problems relating to this-> cyrus-sasl2, a sasl thing. Which is giving me problems with postfix for my ubuntu server (11.10). [02:10] bobweaver: Done. After copying...? [02:10] OttifantSir: cd /lib/firmware/ [02:11] bobweaver: OK [02:11] OttifantSir: sudo -i [02:11] hey [02:11] just updated to onery [02:11] bobweaver: OK [02:11] wtf is this mac like dock [02:11] OttifantSir: tar -xzf b43-all-fw.tar_.gz [02:11] how do I remove this shit [02:12] lol [02:12] hey guys does anyone like techno? [02:12] no [02:13] one likes techno [02:13] alright [02:13] how do I remove this shitty dock [02:13] shadaloo: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:13] seriously [02:13] who's idea was it to put this shitty dock, worst ubuntu idea in a long time [02:13] bobweaver: Did you root me with sudo -i? I ran the extraction and got an error "No such file or directory" and ls shows absolutely NO files [02:13] !language | shadaloo [02:13] shadaloo: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [02:13] OttifantSir: ok [02:13] !retard | pangolin [02:13] OttifantSir: try [02:13] if you like techno you should watch this livestream http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/10-college-majors-lowest-unemployment-rates-163049193.html [02:14] OttifantSir: sudo cp -r ~/Wireless/* /lib/firmware/ [02:14] bobweaver: it looks like i need iwlagn firmware? [02:14] hi guys. i have a blocked tcp connection from myself outgoing on port 8093. i'm wondering what this is for? is it anything necessary and if not how can i make it go away? [02:14] bobweaver: I just needed to cd back into /lib/firmware. Extract worked then [02:14] OttifantSir: good [02:15] im really in a bind here, IS there a way to run a terminal off the lucid usb? [02:15] Newrad2: alt+f2, type in gnome-terminal [02:15] does that sound right? [02:15] Newrad2, ctrl + alt +t [02:15] OttifantSir: now sudo rmmod b43 then sudo modprobe b43 then echo b43 >> /etc/moduals [02:15] the problem is i cant boot [02:16] OttifantSir: now sudo rmmod b43 then sudo modprobe b43 then echo b43 >> /etc/modules [02:16] my hdd is corrupt [02:16] OttifantSir: sorry about the spelling [02:16] number19: I am going to look at that paste again [02:16] alright, thanks [02:16] i really do appreciate it [02:17] i dunno if i have a modprobe command to install the thing though [02:17] bah! [02:17] bobweaver: Why did I need to echo b43 into modules? I got networks after the modprobe. Just want to understand what I'm doing... [02:17] OttifantSir: that makes it so it starts on reboot [02:18] OttifantSir: ssb is lazy and not doing its job :>) [02:18] bobweaver: let me know if you can follow up now that network is up.. [02:18] bobweaver: tried to update but nothing came down. [02:19] bobweaver: I kinda figured that. Thanks for the help.

When using Unity on 11.10, is there a way to bring all instances of windows to the foreground without the selection window after clicking the icon on the left? I have about 4 terminal instances open, it's impossible to tell which one I want when using the unity window selection [02:21] bobweaver: no clue what issue is now..

So each terminal window has about 10 tabs in it, each one tailing logs for each role. Cassandra, Jetty, Backend, Zookeeper etc. I need both multiple windows and Tabs [02:24] how do i fix bootmgr missing? [02:24] Ottifantsir: thanks buddy im gonna check this out.

[02:47] or is something just not liking me [02:47] bobweaver: networking stop/waiting [02:48] bobweaver: Thanks to seeing number19's comment on networking, I took a look at my BIOS, and I didn't have network because it was disabled in BIOS. After your help, and a quick check in BIOS, I now have both interfaces up and running again. So, my fault, not Ubuntu. Still, thank you. [02:50] anyone use a intel 6230 with ubuntu? [02:51] SoulShadow - I just know that the latest Debian had network drivers that the latest Ubuntu did not... [02:51] i know there is a insmod? is there a command to remove mods as well? [02:51] Is "apt-get update" the same as running Ubuntu's Update Manager? [02:51] number19: I think it's rmmod [02:51] So it isn't out of the question that your device wouldn't work out of the box. [02:51] number19: rmmod [02:51] funnyfingers: well i'm running 11.10 fully updated and bluetooth app doesn't see my 6230 [02:51] I'm having troubing installing a driver for my sound card. Does anyone here have a Creative X-Fi card? [02:52] lspci sees it, wifi works, but nothing sees the bt, rfkill or bluetooth app [02:52] maestrojed: kinda but like apt-get update && apt-get upgrade [02:52] thanks [02:52] SoulShadow - So the device is installed then it seems? [02:52] maestrojed: That updates the list of programs and updates, but does not install it. "sudo apt-get upgrade" installs the updates after an "apt-get update" [02:52] yeah, i have wireless so i assume it's installed :P [02:52] bobweaver OttifantSir awesome, thanks! I am learning :) [02:53] !apt | maestrojed [02:53] maestrojed: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit.

[02:54] I am building a media center so I am going for a little more pizazz over utilitarian. I'd love to have my desktop show the weather and a cool clock. Suggestions? I have tried screenlets and kde superkarama but they aren't really working well. Any other suggestions? [02:54] bobweaver: my apology.. [02:55] funnyfingers: i can try debian [02:55] maestrojed: xbmc [02:55] !conky | maestrojed [02:55] conky ftw <3 [02:56] soreau I am using xbmc and I do like its UI. But I am not always using XBMC which is why I wanted it on my desktop [02:56] bobweaver soreau checking it out, thx [02:56] maestrojed: ah ok [02:57] when i try to connect to the net i'm getting "ethtool-lite: eth0 is disconnected." [02:57] not in the terminal but in the logs === vladimirsanchez_ is now known as vladimirsanchez [02:57] if anyone has other suggestions of cool things to add to a media center I am all ears. So far boxee, xbmc, spotify, banshee, hulu, cairo, [02:58] maestrojed: try using clementine to play songs [02:59] quixotedon I will check it out. Thx! [02:59] all, how to disable autoplay when we plug in a removable device in 11.10? [02:59] bobweaver: SoulShadow: Can conky do weather with flashy icons? [02:59] soreau: not really [02:59] maestrojed: I haven't had time to check it, but Software Center also has Enna (EFL Mediacenter). MPD (Music Player Daemon) might be something to look at. [02:59] @Sh3r1ff how do you find out where your cd rom drive is mounted? [02:59] soreau not really no [03:00] maestrojed: i deleted banshee due to many crashes it has [03:00] I will check them out. Thanks OttifantSir [03:00] quixotedon I like banshee because of its integration with Internet Archive (I am an ole school dead head) [03:01] I'm on a VPS hosted server running 10.04, and when I run do-release-upgrade I get no release found, how do I upgrade to 11.10? [03:01] where is the cd rom drive mounted in ubuntu? something like /dev/fstab? [03:01] hogu: you do not upgrade from 10.04 to 11.10 [03:01] is the command correct sudo chown -R $user:$user $home [03:01] maestrojed: ow, you can also find the internet link, like jatumendo, last.fm, internetcast and so on, but yes, you can't find internet archive.. banshee is good but too prone on 11.10 :( [03:02] hogu: you can upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 or from lts to lts - 10.04 to 12.04 - [03:02] quixotedon awesome ideas. [03:02] quixotedon yeah I tried 11.x for a few months but when back to LTS [03:02] quixotedon: About autoplay, System Settings -> Removable Media should give you what you want. [03:02] hansg01: No. env are usually capital: echo $HOME; echo $home [03:02] @xangua, if I go to 10.10, after that can I go to 11.10? [03:03] hogu: no, from 10.10 you have to go to 11.04 [03:03] 11.04 [03:03] where is the cd rom drive mounted in ubuntu? something like /dev/fstab? [03:03] 11.10 [03:03] bah [03:03] qin: can u please rewrite the complete corrrect command [03:03] maestrojed: for sure, if you like singing the song along with the lyric appears to you and some info on the artist you are listening to, then clementine is a good choice [03:03] how do I make changes to /etc/hosts take effect? [03:03] thanks for the help bob, i'm gonna call it quits for tonight' [03:04] binni: Should take effect immediately afaik but you could try restarting network-manager service I guess [03:04] Anyone around think they could give me some help installing a driver? [03:04] hansg01: Maybe say that do you intend, since -R in chown tend to be too powerful to be used blindly. [03:04] hogu - just curious since 10.04 has a lot of life left, what do you need in 11.10? [03:04] OttifantSir: thanks [03:04] sumpter: My CD/DVD-drive is mounted at /dev/sr0, but that might not be the case for you [03:04] @xangua ok thats fine, but the point is how do I do that I always get no release found, and if I do it with -d, it upgrades me to 12.04 [03:04] hogu: I'd highly recommend cleanly installing the version of ubuntu you want and avoiding upgrades [03:04] @ottifansir thank you [03:05] @ottifantsir thank you [03:05] @funnyfingers 10.04 is still on python2.6 and i like 2.7 [03:05] maestrojed: so LTS is much better than the last os upgrade (w/o LTS)? [03:05] hogu: you have to enable normal upgrades on Software Sources, LTS are set to upgrade only to LTS as default [03:05] qin: i used this command earlier too to de encrypt my data that is not under my mermission but is in root's permission [03:05] quixotedon: define better [03:05] @xangua, I do that by altering sources.list? [03:05] maestrojed: 10.10 is my first ubuntu use [03:05] hogu: no, open software center - edit - software sources [03:06] it's VPS, no X [03:06] I could install X [03:06] but i'd rather not [03:06] xangua: i mean, 10.10 is LTS but 11.04 and 11.10 are not yet.. does that mean LTS (long term support) OS version comes more reliable?? [03:06] quixotedon: 10.10 is not lts, 10.04 is [03:06] all, when i log in using guess, it appears that the display is gone.. [03:07] xangua: oops, sorry, miss the number :d [03:07] hansg01: So you have to decrypt, and chown then? [03:07] quixotedon 11.x is shiny. I never made it to 11.10. I was fine with 11.04 as an OS but a lot of programs just aren't ready for it [03:07] qin: yep [03:07] quixotedon - of course long term support is more reliable:) [03:07] I cannot launch gdm: failed to acquire org.gnome.DisplayManager [03:07] quixotedon: LTS does not inherently mean more stable or reliable. It just means it will be officially supported longer with security updates and such [03:07] funnyfingers: so, should i downgrade my os?? now 11.10 [03:08] qin: chown is user to change the ownership of the file na??? [03:08] soreau: this is what i understood though, without the term of more reliable/stable [03:08] :) [03:08] to be more informative, I'm trying to dualboot Archlinux and Ubuntu off of the grub install located in Ubuntu's partition (sda1). Arch is located at (sda7:/, sda6:/boot). Would I need to configure Ubuntu to point at the boot partition (sda6) or the root partiton (sda7), or is it archlinux's problem [03:08] hansg01: Strange... sudo chown -R $USER:$USER $HOME [03:08] Hi, I have a small problem .. I accidentally chmod 0755 foldername -R done on my domain in www folder .. Does anyone know how I can undo? [03:08] quixotedon - Are you running a server that can't have any downtime? [03:09] quixotedon: I'm sure this behooves the ubuntu team to strive for LTS to be as reliable as possible but that's not particularly different from any other release [03:09] hansg01: chown -- CHange OWNership [03:09] funnyfingers: i'm runing my own laptop computer [03:09] qin: no offences but isnt it the ryt way? [03:09] funnyfingers: though i'm interested to try ubuntu on a server.. :) [03:09] hello [03:10] can you guys read me? [03:10] quixotedon - I see no other choice but LTS for a server. [03:10] JGAN: nope [03:10] Loud and clear. [03:10] haha [03:10] well i have a question for webmin/apache users? [03:10] ! ask | JGAN [03:10] JGAN: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience === james is now known as Guest26243 [03:10] funnyfingers: okay, noted down for more information.. :) [03:10] How can i undo chmod 0775 -R? [03:11] Se7eN http://movabletripe.com/archive/recursively-chmod-directories-only/ This shows you how to change permission for all dirs or all files. [03:11] funnyfingers: are you using oneiric as well? [03:11] hansg01: Hm? Not it is not right way, since your encripted data in home, should not requre chown after decripting. [03:11] does anybody know how to access logs of visitor ip addresses? [03:11] Se7eN you can't undo but you can change them back [03:11] Okay, let's see [03:11] quixotedon - 10.04 LTS is fully supported until mid 2015 for example... [03:11] Se7eN 0755 is pretty standard for directories and 0644 for files [03:11] Se7eN: There's no 'back button' for that, you'd have to set the permissions back to what they were before you changed them [03:11] JGAN: Apache, ssh. telnet, ftp, or what? [03:11] apache web server [03:11] Can anyone else get the following site to work? http://www.virtualapple.org/lemonadestanddisk.html [03:11] funnyfingers: quixotedon desktop is until 2013 [03:11] !permissions [03:11] An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [03:12] when somebody accesses your website, is their ip logged somewhere?

[03:13] *encript [03:13] keithclark: I get a message saying the ActiveGS plugin isn't supported if that's what you were asking about... [03:13] i was using fedora and den i transferred that data which was there to ubuntu [03:14] xangua: funnyfingers: so what do you think is the best version? [03:14] qin: the data got encrypted automatically [03:14] quixotedon: that depends of what do You want [03:14] how can i adjust my network manager or what ever controls my usb network card from overclocking i guess would be the term... it causes it to shut down [03:15] What is a good multi-platform chat client? [03:15] hansg01: Ah, thought that your setup is bad... yes, just chown it, but maybe not in home directory directly. mkdir stuff_from_fed ? [03:15] salty I have heard of networkmanager causing problems and some people disable it... [03:15] then what would i use to connect [03:15] not sure if you need it for what you do though... [03:15] OttifantSir, yes [03:15] How to use usb dac in ubuntu 11.04? [03:15] qin: ok thanks! [03:16] salty - sorry that is all I know of that:) [03:16] Rameneglion: Personally, I prefer Pidgin for use on other platforms/OSes. [03:16] xangua: i'm learning to use ubuntu on dual boot along with windows7 but i mostly use ubuntu, and i have a big hope that i'm going to use it at the most.. there are many reasons to love using ubuntu :) [03:16] oh ok thnx funnyfingers [03:16] GDM will not launch after update to 11.10 [03:16] OttifantSir: Does Pidgin support Skype as well as Facebook? I had used Empathy previously, but I didn't really care for it. [03:17] sudo gdm produces a display of 0.66 seconds [03:17] weems: It is now lightdm... [03:17] ok thanks qin [03:17] Rameneglion: for pidgin you can use xmpp to connect to facebook, i dont think you can use skype though [03:17] then it hasnt launched either [03:17] I chose gdm when the gconf screen came... [03:17] didn't know... [03:18] I guess Skype works well enough for Skype. [03:18] Rameneglion: Yes. At least it does when installing a few plugins (I don't remember if Skype-plugin is in the repos though), and Facebook can be flaky when updates happen from Zuckerberg & co. [03:18] Hm. Alright. Is there a way I can change my default Package Manager? [03:19] Paypal not accepted when purchasing software? [03:19] Unreal [03:20] keithclark - what are you talking about? [03:20] Rameneglion: Do you mean when double-clicking a .deb-file? If so, right-click and choose Open with.../Open with other program and choose gdebi or synaptic (if they're installed) [03:20] xangua: for my laptop computer, dell inspiron 14, 4030 , with 2GB ram, Intel® Pentium(R) CPU P6000 @ 1.87GHz × 2 , graphic is supposed to be ati radeon v534(can't really remember the number/series) with the system info stating driver vesa: m92, on intel architecture i386 [03:21] funnyfingers, in the software application, paypal is not accepted???? [03:22] OttifantSir: Well, my distro came with Muon, but I prefer Synaptic. Every time I launch Synaptic, though, it asks for my password. Something that Muon didn't do. Is this part of Synaptic's functionality or is it a setting I can play with? === Granis` is now known as Granis [03:22] OttifantSir: It becomes an issue when rebooting with Synaptic open. Synaptic then opens without a password being given, so it won't have access to install packages. [03:23] Rameneglion, what distro had muon? [03:24] Rameneglion: I see the password-on-open as a feature, but I agree that it can be frustrating. You're also asking for more than I can help with. I haven't tried switching from Muon to Synaptic myself. Sorry. [03:24] Is a system is installed on an XVDA device (xen) once installation is complete how can I get it to boot if I change the device to sda? CentOS throws all the drivers at it I guess which is why it doesn't have that problem. [03:25] So not possible to buy software with the [03:25] urlin2u: Kubuntu. [03:26] software manager with paypal? [03:26] OttifantSir: That's alright. It's a minor annoyance at most. [03:26] I'm more concerned with getting my sound drivers to work than worrying about a little extra password typing [03:26] Hello all. I am re-purposing an old Laptop drive into a usb drive. I got it formated ext3 but permissions are Root and I can't save files on it. Any ideas? [03:27] Rameneglion, ah I saw that in synaptic so in kubuntu you didn't use a password to install packages, that sounds strange as ubuntu needs super user access to do these things, I would think kubuntu as well. [03:27] Papabrvoa chown -R user:user [03:27] maybe [03:28] er user:group [03:28] sorry I usually do that with user and group names that match... [03:28] Rameneglion: My workaround would've been: Make a script with the commands to install from the package list generated by Synaptic in user-mode and make a shortcut on the desktop to run the script. Doesn't solve your basic problem though. [03:29] hi, my audio does not work and it freezes all apps that try to play audio... alsa mixer plays the test beeps but ubuntu system -> sounds doesnt have any audio hardware listed [03:29] pulseaudio is installed [03:29] funnyfingers: just type that out? "chown -R user:group" Is that right? [03:29] I think I'm going to worry about it after this sound driver thing pans out. [03:30] I'll ask again 'cause I'm desparate. Anyone here have a Creative X-Fi card? [03:30] no Papabrvo you would replace user with a real user. [03:31] and then be sure you put the proper path... [03:31] hi, why would ubuntu remote desktop's password prompt hang if I try to connect from outside my local network? what ports do I need to forward exactly? [03:31] Funnyfingers: I assume were talking Terminal, how doe it know what drive I'm talking about [03:32] I don't know the GUI from the terminal the mount command should help [03:35] OttifantSir: Thank you for suggesting Pidgin, I rather like it. [03:35] i'm trying thunderbird with gmail client, and had problems sending emails [03:36] hi folks. I'm having some trouble with my media server. It's running a bit slow, I went to test flash, but now I can't install flashplugin-downloader [03:36] Rameneglion: You're welcome. [03:36] the error is of unmet dependencies: flashplugin-downloader:i386 : Depends: libcurl3:i386 but it is not going to be installed [03:36] my system is amd64 [03:37] error on thunderbird is network connection timeout though i can still use the browser.. :( [03:37] !partner [03:37] Shirakawasuna: install adobe-flashplugin , from partner repos [03:37] Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » [03:37] xangua: so the flashplugin-installer package is just broken? [03:38] hello , I have just created a deb file http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8828739/packages/nautilus_actions_etxra/nautilus_actions_extra_0.1.2.deb and i need to upload it to ppa but it's not s ource code but some scripts and desktop files can any one help me ? [03:38] dr3mro, create a source package [03:38] upload that [03:39] wait... [03:39] that's version 10, xangua [03:39] I have to use an outdated flash version? [03:39] tensorpudding, can you tell me how ? please can you inspect the package http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8828739/packages/nautilus_actions_etxra/nautilus_actions_extra_0.1.2.deb ?? [03:39] Papabrvo any luck? [03:39] dr3mro, you get the source, and run debuild -S [03:39] Shirakawasuna: are you using an outdated ubuntu version¿ :P [03:40] dr3mro, the source package has the orig.tar.gz, a .dsc and a source.changes [03:40] if you used debuild to create a .deb, it probably created them for you [03:41] tensorpudding, this is not an application source code this is some scripts ? [03:41] dr3mro, same difference [03:43] dr3mro, how did you build the package [03:43] tensorpudding, I have crested the deb file manually .. [03:43] dr3mro, how did you do that [03:43] bobweaver: thanks again for your help. G'nite! Stay Hungry! :) [03:43] xangua: no, but I think my installation may be having some issues [03:44] xangua: I've noticed that it doesn't seem to think it needs updates as often as my laptop, so something's probably wrong [03:44] create debian/control .. put the files in dirs /usr/bin * .... then dpkg-deb --build - [03:44] dr3mro, instead of doing dpkg-deb --build [03:44] dr3mro, do debuild -S [03:44] that'll create the files you need [03:45] tensorpudding, cannot find readable debian/changelog anywhere! [03:45] xangua: lsb_release -sc returns oneiric [03:45] dr3mro, are you in the right directory [03:45] you need to be in the root of the package [03:46] and now I don't have any sound [03:46] I'm so confused :/ [03:46] tensorpudding, [03:46] tensorpudding, yes [03:46] exit [03:46] hi [03:46] tensorpudding, can you plz get the package and extract it http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8828739/packages/nautilus_actions_etxra/nautilus_actions_extra_0.1.2.deb [03:47] tensorpudding, then tell me how to do it [03:47] no [03:47] you don't understand [03:47] you can't make a source package from a .deb [03:47] you need the source [03:47] which you have [03:47] and i told you want to do [03:47] tensorpudding: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. === KIAaze is now known as KIAaze_away [03:48] go to the directory that contains debian/ and run debuild -S === KIAaze_away is now known as KIAaze [03:50] ssh installed by default?

[03:51] ssh [03:51] apt-get install ssh [03:51] tensorpudding, this is the source pkg i created how to make it like a source package http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8828739/usr.tar.gz [03:52] thanks mxed [03:52] np ;) [03:52] tensorpudding, this is the files i have just bah scripts and desktop files http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8828739/usr.tar.gz [03:53] dr3mro, i don't see why i need to look at it, if you can use dpkg to create a deb file, you can use debuild to make a source package [03:55] tensorpudding, i manully edited control file and put the scripts in files like that i want it to be extracted into system .. this is the files i did it for .. but i cant put it into launchpad as it fails to build .. i dont want to build as there is no code to compile [03:55] packages don't need code in order to build correctly [03:56] tensorpudding, just take alook at it and you will understand [03:56] dr3mro, the hell [03:57] dr3mro, why are the paths prefixed by usr/bin [03:57] tensorpudding, can you tell me how to start a plain source package [03:57] tensorpudding, this is how i did make it manually [03:57] tensorpudding, it was a tutorial found it online [03:58] you need to read the guide on packaging [03:58] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide [03:59] tensorpudding, i have read it but failed to found how to create a package from sctarcth [03:59] Those that suggested conky forecast to me, do you pay for the XML feed? Is there an alternative solution to weather.com? [04:00] dr3mro, first off, why are you trying to create a source package [04:00] maestrojed: no paying - it;s just a simple page scrape [04:00] somsip I must be following the wrong directions. :) I will keep googling [04:00] dr3mro, why are you trying to package this pile of unrelated files [04:01] tensorpudding, to put it on launchpad and create a PPA [04:01] tensorpudding, this files are scripts i made for nautilus actions [04:01] maestrojed: or you could try http://rss.accuweather.com/rss/liveweather_rss.asp\?metric\=${METRIC}\&locCode\=$1 [04:02] dr3mro, first, you should organize them better [04:02] dr3mro, strip out the usr/bin part [04:02] dr3mro, what is all that junk in usr/share [04:02] you have a bunch of files with garbage names [04:03] tensorpudding, this is the *.desktop files that contains the settings of nautilus actions [04:03] Hi there, when I run the command "ssh -R0:laptop.dyndns.org:22 workstation.university.edu" the following is printed to stderr: "Allocated port 53393 for remote forward to laptop.dyndns.org:22" . I would really like the number "53393" to be printed to a file on workstation.university.edu. Is this possible? [04:03] delete that path then hehe and you will see [04:04] dr3mro, it makes no sense to have .desktop files for shell scripts [04:04] dr3mro, in any case, they should have the same names as the scripts they represent [04:04] tensorpudding, this is how nautilus-actions-config-tool works! [04:04] it works by creating files with names as UUIDs? [04:04] tensorpudding, they don't .. wait a sec I will show you [04:06] tensorpudding, this is how it looks after install http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/4668/screenshotat20111110060.jpg [04:08] hiall ,is ubuntu's easycam2 is useful in debian+xfce4 to a webcam? [04:08] [04:08] dr3mro, are you sure they need to be named those ridiculous names? [04:08] dr3mro, show me the debian/rules you wrote [04:08] tensorpudding, yes this is how the developer made it [04:09] wait, did *you* make this package or did someone else?

Reinstalling 10.04.3 After install (new download, new burn), the pc boots to a "blank" purple screen (the default desktop background) with nothing else. If I try to run the intsall again, it shows ubuntu 10.04.3 being installed, but everytime I boot its back to this blank screen. How can I fix this plz? [04:11] can someone tell me how to change the window border theme in ubuntu? [04:11] obert-, perhaps it needs some partitioning/formatting? [04:12] skpl, settings -> settings manager -> appearance [04:12] dr3mro, this is all probably irrelevant, if you built a .deb from it, that means that you can build a source package [04:12] costre: no idea, shouldnt ask for formatting it before that step? (but after Install Ubuntu instead Try it) [04:12] but im on kubuntu ... :) [04:12] dr3mro, you just run debuild -S [04:13] skandranon: she hates it? [04:13] tensorpudding, no i didn't [04:13] !nomodeset | skandranon [04:13] dr3mro, you do it from the directory containing debian/ [04:13] skandranon: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [04:13] dr3mro, you didn't? [04:13] dr3mro, wait, someone else made that .deb?

[04:38] it's not going to be more stable or less stable [04:38] kulus: what you use is going to change more than a kernel that's been extensively tested [04:39] kulus: It's never been a question of stability, but compatibility for random third-party software, most notably Adobe Flash. [04:40] i find a lot of programs ie Banshee turn darker and either shutdown or become unresponsive on two of my computers [04:40] klml [04:40] one is a desktop the other a netbook [04:41] kulus, that means that they have bugs that caused them to become unresponsive [04:41] or that your computer is slow enough that they lag significantly [04:41] they work sometimes but slowly and then later crash [04:41] excuse me! [04:42] I am a new user of ubuntu [04:42] I have a dual core amd and an Atom N550 [04:42] especially a new user of lunix based OS [04:42] kulus, you need to clarify which programs do this [04:43] ubuntu is going to be someone strained on an atom [04:43] especially if your RAM is a gigabyte [04:43] tensorpudding - Banshee, Update Manager, File Manager, quite a few [04:43] I have 1gb [04:43] And I want to get some help about how to Install a new software in Ubuntu [04:43] ddr3 [04:43] banshee is not very stable, it's a resource hog [04:44] it's unfortunate that it's the default music player [04:44] good to know [04:44] the others are probably due to bugs [04:44] which version of ubuntu? [04:44] 11.10 [04:44] can you reproduce the behavior? [04:44] other than the annoying crasher I like Banshee [04:44] 11.10 [04:44] help_seeker, open the Ubuntu Software Center, and you'll find a lot of software you can install [04:45] No through tetrminal [04:45] help_seeker, do you really want to use the terminal? [04:45] not from soft center [04:45] help_seeker, to install software from the terminal, use apt-get [04:45] yes. I am given this task [04:45] I'm using 11.10 [04:45] help_seeker, the manual is at 'man apt-get' [04:45] kulus, okay [04:45] unity [04:46] kulus, can you reproduce the crash of file manager? [04:46] I'm willing to go to lubuntu if it would help [04:46] I have installed two software which According to me was succesfully installed in Ubuntu. [04:46] kulus, does this crash come with a popup saying that it has crashed? [04:46] But I can not fined them in side my PC any where [04:47] sorry find [04:47] i'm trying to check something out and i need someone willing to run a Grep command for me, and tell me what result they get. grep '\(^.\).\{1,15}\1' testfile.txt and then try grep '\(^.\)*\{1,15}\1' testfile.txt and pastie the output of the latter command for me [04:47] i am trying to decide if it's a bug or not with grep [04:47] I can't reproduce it right now, the pop up comes up occasionally but not consistently sometimes it just gets darker and then I can't use it for a while [04:48] help_seeker, what did you install, did it install successfully, and have you checked that the files from the package are on your computer, and that apt knows they are installed? [04:49] kulus, the "getting darker" means that it is unresponsive due to either getting frozen or just being overloaded [04:49] kulus, usually it should go away if you leave it alone for a bit [04:49] tensorpudding - would lubuntu help me with the overload? [04:49] kulus, getting this a lot usually means that your hardware is overtaxed [04:49] yes the package was successfully installed. [04:49] kulus, which would make somse sense on a netbook [04:49] help_seeker, how do you know that you can't find them [04:50] ./congfigure then make then make install [04:50] lubuntu 32-bit then? [04:50] help_seeker, don't install software that way [04:50] help_seeker, unless you know what you're doing [04:50] these were the command used as told in manual [04:50] help_seeker, install software using apt [04:51] kulus, lubuntu uses different tools than regular ubuntu, they use less resources, for your netbook it might be a good idea to try it [04:51] it is a 64-bit machine [04:51] but what if I only have the source code not the binary files? [04:51] kulus, you can use lubuntu with 64-bit [04:51] can it utilize 64-bit with lubuntu [04:52] will apt-get work with them [04:52] help_seeker, you should check to see if what you tried to install is in the apt repositories [04:52] or use the software center or synaptic (you need to install synaptic from apt or the center [04:52] help_seeker, by searching for it [04:52] help_seeker, on http://packages.ubuntu.com/ [04:52] thank you tensorpudding [04:52] I'll grab my usb [04:52] Ok thanks! [04:52] One more question [04:52] help_seeker, without knowing what it is you installed using make, we have no idea how to help you [04:53] help_seeker, there's no guarantee it'll work at all [04:53] Why does banshee not support MP3 format [04:53] help_seeker, the apt repos package up the software, make sure it works with ubuntu, so it's almost always better to get it from there [04:54] help_seeker: because you haven't installed codecs¿ [04:54] help_seeker, it's due to you not having the codecs installed for it [04:54] nouveau cant get it to reinstall after installing nvidia-current [04:54] help_seeker, the codecs are the decoders that "read" the files so that banshee can play them [04:54] Hi, Is it possible to take a running ubuntu box and convert it to virtual machine in vmware "as is" ?

My sound works fine in Ubuntu, until I play certain games on Facebook in Chrome, then from that point on my wireless gets painfully slow, and any and all audio is garbled.

I'm trying to diagnose the problem with DVD rom is not working [05:39] pr0tocoldan, what is not working with the dvd? [05:39] skandranon, at the grub menu not booting make the change by adding nomodeset then boot with crtl-x.

I recall a website that walked you through updating a linux install to make it useful (installing media players, updating repository lists, etc). Is there such a site for Ubuntu? My firefox is way out of date (3.x) and apt-get update doesn't update it. [05:42] bandit5432, feel free to jump in I was just trying to help someone while I was waiting for someone to help me with my cursor problem. [05:43] aschool, i am exhausted i will let you help :) [05:43] ok [05:43] dsnyders: it would be hard to make a site like that to fit everyone's definition of "useful," however it's really easy to install the up to date firefox ppa's [05:45] skandranon, in other words it is not the installs that will fix this but what you do with it so finish the install, kowing that reinstalling is not the fix and ask for help if this nomodeset addition to the kernel in the grub menu escapes you. [05:46] aschool, https://sites.google.com/site/protocoldan/linux [05:47] semitones, they had their own definition. Something to do with installing media players that were excluded because they might be illegal in certain countries.

Anyways, they walked you through adding a few repositories to allow that. Livna? maybe?

You have to look for each program you want to risk separately [05:55] aschool, is there a way to enable it? [05:56] pr0tocoldan, Is it disabled in the bios? [05:56] dsnyders: the ubuntu repos are pretty up to date compared to debian -- updated with every release, and tested [05:56] semitones, pity. BTW, livna was a "super-repository" for Fedora. [05:56] pr0tocoldan, How did you install linux on it in the first place? Did the drive work under windows? [05:56] aschool, I used a live USB, But the drive worked with linux before i format it the pc [05:57] dsnyders: sometimes the new software is held back because of compatibility problems -- so be careful when you install the ppas [05:57] pr0tocoldan, It must be a driver/module issue.

[06:47] i have tested many dist s on my 901 but normal desktop ubuntu with xfce is the best one i have tested, even faster than ubuntu 9 [06:48] 11 ,10 xubuntu is very good === root is now known as Guest63098 [06:48] opera is nice too [06:51] how can I do window color inversions in ubuntu 11.10 ? [06:51] this is an capture of my xfce and eeepc http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/5444/vcsy.png [06:54] Damn.. I really hate imageshack these days.. [06:55] why? [06:55] osmosis, not sure really but there is a color filter in compiz you might look there. [06:55] Hi, I'm still using 11.04 and I can't get empathy to connect to MSN anymore (kopete has the same problem, but that's due to a protocol change), does anyone know why this has happened ? [06:56] urlin2u, used to work by default in the older ubuntus. Not sure how to activate it in the new version. [06:56] Well... whenever you forgot to log-in on their site (or visiting as an anonymous), once someone links you an image, youll always get this lovely "http://imageshack.us/img/blocked_login.jpg". [06:56] osmosis, was the old methos the super key and n [06:57] method* [06:57] urlin2u, yes [06:58] Your_Dog, oh didnt knew that [06:58] osmosis, the keys are set different look at the compiz color filter I think thats the place [06:58] urlin2u, i tried, cant make any sense of the config options [06:59] yep, ever since they got hacked.. they went great lengths to security.. but that's just too far.. :\ [07:01] hello, i don't know what privileges for chroot directory ... for example : /etc/openvpn/jail ... chroot jail ... i create user and group for processus ... openvpn:openvpn ... after ls /etc/openvpn/jail drwxr-xr-x 2 root root is it good? thank you for help [07:02] :q [07:02] :q:q [07:03] :q [07:03] unity is poo [07:03] that is all [07:04] True [07:04] osmosis, I tried it but all I coild get is a restart of compiz every time even withchanging assigned keys. [07:04] wait... that isn't all... how do I revert to simple old vanilla-ish gnome? [07:04] could* [07:05] !nounity [07:05] Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [07:05] I acidently installed the 64 bit flash its just forever installing in the software center [07:05] what proccess do I kill? [07:05] is there a video of ubuntu 11.10 with gnome shell? [07:05] and after I kill it what's the best way to remove? [07:06] ps aux | grep flash [07:06] killall $name_of_process [07:06] osmosis, probably all over youtube, at least the gnome shell it is pretty much the same on other didtros [07:06] distros* [07:07] urlin2u: installing gnome-shell === o0o0 is now known as iExist [07:07] If I had a womb I would bare your babies. [07:08] If anyone still has Ubuntu 9.10 just reinstall and you will be okay. [07:08] bear === iExist is now known as o0o0 [07:08] rar [07:09] man I used to just use my keyboard to navigate GNOME now I don't know what to do [07:09] Unity is kind of a step backwards [07:10] Revolt against UNITY now! [07:10] I used to be all like Alt-F1 -> -> \|/ preferences etc [07:11] now I am clicking the little cog thing and there still isn't what i wanted [07:11] wtf Mark Shuttleworth [07:11] osmosis, I haven' [07:11] *haven [07:11] wtf keyboard [07:12] *I haven't seen a video, but I use gnome-shell with 11.10 and it's great [07:13] I think the idea of unity was nice but the implementation not so much, maybe after it's been worked on a bit it will be better, maybe it was added to the distro too soon [07:13] hello [07:13] I think it is a good idea for things like touchpads [07:13] when I use shotwell, it will alter my photos folder? [07:13] but not for things with keyboards [07:13] I want just to see my photos, but not touch the order of my folders [07:14] sion, with the support dropped on gnome 2 before unity was implemented what should have been put in? [07:14] nootnoot, probably. things where screen space is more important than efficiency of use. In the time I used it I found that things required too many more clicks to get done in unity compared to other DEs. [07:15] urlin2u, good point, but I think if you had to compare, for example, Unity and Gnome3 that Gnome is the more polished one [07:15] true... frustrating [07:15] Hey, can I get some help with PulseAudio? I set up a null sink with two loopbacks so I could set one to the mic and the other to the internal monitor, but pavucontrol won't let me set a loopback to a monitor. :( [07:16] !ot | sion urlin2u nootnoot [07:16] sion urlin2u nootnoot: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [07:16] Debating shells would be better suited to #ubuntu-offtopic [07:16] sion, when unity was started in natty gname 3 was pretty rough [07:16] kronoman, you can drag & drop all your photos to shotwell, that way you can look at them all / organise by date / whatever regardless of the directory (folder) the photos are in [07:16] HI can any one help me with a small problem ? [07:16] Or is there a specific channel for PulseAudio (or general audio) questions I should be going to? [07:17] thanks Jordan_U [07:17] Jordan_U, no problem the anti unity is hardly ever thought through just describing the obvious. :D [07:17] sion, thanks [07:17] and if I import them to the library? something bad will hapen? like moving the photos? [07:17] kronoman, nope, afaik they will stay where they, like importing music to Rhythmbox [07:18] sion : great, thanks! [07:18] kronoman, wait that might not be true [07:18] too late [07:18] Im importing them [07:18] :o [07:18] * kronoman keeps backup at hand [07:19] zizoo, you might like to try #lau (Linux Audio Users) when they're active they're extremely helpful [07:19] Any help with my pulseaudio problem? Also, @root__, what is your problem? Idk if I can help, but I will try. [07:19] Hi please help with a probelm... [07:19] Oh, thanks. [07:19] sion === [sanyi] is now known as [Sanyi] [07:19] every py script that i am running i get [07:20] permission denied [07:20] but i am login as a root ! [07:20] Hi, I'm having trouble upgrading to Ubuntu, first it wasn't installing, now it downloaded packages but then stated that there is an error, and that the system may be broken. However it seems like the system is still functional, I can use the terminal, but I'd like any help so that I don't end up screwing this install over...thnx. Will put up pasts of my apt.log in a sec... [07:20] what can be the problem ? [07:20] kronoman, I have a feeling shotwell might organise imported photos by date... [07:21] http://paste.ubuntu.com/733935/ [07:22] urlin2u: Are the scripts executable? [07:22] kronoman, the organising by date is when it copies from a camera, if you already had the photos on your hard drive then nothing bad happens [07:22] Would appreciate help upgrading if anyone knows how to decipher said logfile. [07:22] tonyyarusso what scripts? [07:22] great, thakns [07:23] thanks [07:23] I use a year / month / photos scheme on my folders [07:23] or [07:23] I use a year / month / event / photos scheme on my folders [07:23] ie 1984/dec/birthday/photos [07:23] urlin2u: Sorry, bad complete - was aiming for uurrii1122, but he quit [07:24] tonyyarusso, it happens :D [07:24] Real quick y'all, may I ask a question? [07:24] sln45: You just did. [07:24] tonyyarusso: So silly, you are [07:24] sln45: ask your question :) [07:25] Does anybody know of some kind of swf codec to allow me to play .swf files? [07:26] sln45: swf isn't a video format, it's a flash animation. .flv files are simple video files and can be played in any video player. For .swf files your best bet is to open it using a browser and the flash plugin. [07:27] Jordan_U: I know it's a flash extension. Is it not readable by video players? [07:28] Jordan_U: Basically, I'm playing with Miro and I wanted to see how effectively it could see Hulu videos. But it just downloaded this silly swift thing, it can't play it. [07:29] Jordan_U: Sorry, swf thing. I imagine the word "swift" when I read it. === dkannan|away is now known as dkannan [07:30] where can i find deb package for pulseaudio 1.1 as only pulseaudio 1.0 is available via synaptic. im using ubuntu 11.10 64bit [07:30] Jordan_U: Chromium can't play the file, evidently. You still there? [07:32] sln45: I play my .swf in gnash swf player [07:32] bobweaver: Oh hey, you're still here. [07:32] bobweaver: Holy cannoli, it's been like 12 hours. Do you work? [07:33] sln45: that is a little of topic but no [07:33] bobweaver: As if I've been so great at being on topic [07:34] bobweaver: In any case, thanks. I will take a look at it. [07:35] first time using irssi [07:35] oh hey look it works === ericm is now known as ericm-Zzz === ericm-Zzz is now known as ericm-afk [07:36] bobweaver: Eh, as cool as Miro seems it's a little unusable for me. I guess I'm outtie [07:37] How would I install a .deb without Ubuntu Software Center (as it's not working currently so I've been using the command line)? dpkg or something entirely different? [07:37] bobweaver: Oh, sorry. i don't know why I directed that comment at you specifically. [07:37] Anyways, g'bye y'all [07:38] * Starminn will need a *little* hand-holding depending on the difficulty. ;) [07:38] I'm using Ubuntu 11.10, why is the Update Manager trying to send me plugins for Gwibber when I don't have it installed??? [07:38] JZApples, Did you remove or purge it? [07:38] Hi, I'm still using 11.04 and I can't get empathy to connect to MSN anymore (kopete has the same problem, but that's due to a protocol change), does anyone know why this has happened ? === ian_ is now known as Captain_Mustard [07:38] Starminn, I think I uninstalled it via the Software Center. [07:39] JZApples, When you uninstall through the Software Center it simply removes the core program, but many extra settings (profile data, logs, preferences, etc.) still remain. [07:39] looking for a script or package to use that will give audio notifiactions when usb devices are plugged in/out [07:39] JZApples, Try running "sudo apt-get purge gwibber" [07:40] notifications [07:41] JZApples, If it says it's not installed just "sudo apt-get install gwibber && sudo apt-get purge gwibber". Anyway, after the purge runs fine, just "sudo apt-get update" and check the updates again [07:42] Is there a way to record in Gnome3 with ffmpeg successfully without messing up? [07:43] webcam display and audio freezes horribly when going through the menusand zoom out effects [07:43] *menus and [07:43] robertzaccour, Actually isn't there a default keyboard shortcut? [07:44] shortcut for what? [07:44] I'm talking about webcam display and audio freeze-ups while recording with ffmpeg [07:44] a keyboard shortcut for recording the desktop? [07:44] robertzaccour, Oh. Forget that then. For some reason I thought you were talking about desktop, which is CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+R [07:44] Starminn, thanks dawg [07:45] HI [07:45] Starminn, but they're still there [07:45] I'm trying to make a new partition table on a USB HD but I get an error from gparted [07:45] Starminn, i just had a similar issue with removing deluge [07:45] Starminn, just wouldn't go away [07:46] I've yet to find a distro or DE in Linux in which desktop recording workas well as it does in windows === Me is now known as Guest18833 [07:46] JZApples, Hmm... One sec. I don't use Gwibber anyway so I'll try to delete and reproduce it. [07:46] still searching === KIAaze is now known as KIAaze_away [07:46] Hi [07:46] anyone know if there is a fix for the new unity thing? [07:47] I'd sure like to use the classic unbuntu I had in 11.4 [07:47] !details | Guest18833 [07:47] !notunity | Guest18833 [07:47] Guest18833: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [07:47] Guest18833: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [07:47] Guest18833 disregard the first ubottu message [07:47] I get : input/output error during write on /dev/sdb [07:47] sounds bad [07:48] Bert_2, I believe you're hitting this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/papyon/+bug/887349 [07:48] zagibu, the HD works alright [07:48] Launchpad bug 887349 in papyon (Ubuntu Maverick) "Can't login in Windows live acount using empathy" [Undecided,Confirmed] [07:48] uuuummmmmm, yeahhh, I gave plenty of details.... I just upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10..... 11.04 had a selection for classic unbuntu....... we're stuck with the unity crap in 11.10 [07:48] CaptainQuirk: doesn't seem like it [07:48] It mounts properly [07:49] JZApples, I'm not being asked for upgrades. But then, it may have been fully upgraded anyway. Run "sudo apt-get upgrade" and what package names are in "The following packages will be upgraded:"? [07:49] Starminn, it's also trying to install evolution. I uninstalled evolution when I had 11.04. [07:49] so, basically, I have to tweak and settle with 2nd best or downgrade to 11.4 natty....... that sucks [07:49] #opensolaris [07:49] zagibu, I tried with the HD unmounted but it wouldn't work [07:49] so I tried to mount it just to check [07:49] Starminn, evolution evolution-common evolution-plugins gconf-defaults-service gconf2 gconf2-common gir1.2-gconf-2.0 gnome-settings-daemon gwibber-service-facebook gwibber-service-identica gwibber-service-twitter indicator-session libevolution [07:49] libgconf2-4 libmodplug1 libpulse-mainloop-glib0 libpulse0 libtorrent-rasterbar6 pulseaudio pulseaudio-dbg pulseaudio-esound-compat pulseaudio-esound-compat-dbg pulseaudio-module-bluetooth pulseaudio-module-bluetooth-dbg [07:49] pulseaudio-module-gconf pulseaudio-module-gconf-dbg pulseaudio-module-jack pulseaudio-module-jack-dbg pulseaudio-module-lirc pulseaudio-module-lirc-dbg pulseaudio-module-raop pulseaudio-module-raop-dbg pulseaudio-module-x11 [07:49] JZApples: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:50] maybe its time for a new distro...... [07:50] CaptainQuirk: well, there might be some damaged sectors [07:50] my launcher bar has turned into a solid black stripe [07:50] 11.04 [07:50] zagibu, how can I check that ? [07:50] clicking on it does nothing [07:50] Starminn, http://paste.ubuntu.com/733951/ [07:50] what can I do besides reboot? [07:50] CaptainQuirk: need a low-level disk check tool, like spinrite or similar [07:50] 6 weeks trying to get the upgrade to work just to find out that I don't even want it -- what a waste -- upgrades are supposed to be better, not worse!!! [07:51] Can someone tell me why this happens; after I installed Ubuntu 11.10 dual boot with W7 I have noticed a considerable drop in speed within the W7 environment. I have noticed this before as well when I had an older RedHat version setup as a dual boot machine. [07:51] zagibu, before doing this, some details : my HD had 5 partitions ( silly ) : 3 linux and 2 ntfs [07:51] JZApples, Person had the same problem here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/11-10-with-ubuntu1-and-gwibber-removed-still-getting-gwibber-updates-912325/ The fix was "sudo apt-get purge "gwibber.*"" [07:52] zagibu, I managed to make the first operation in gparted : creating a new partition table [07:52] anyone know how I can move the notification area of gnome shell to the right? [07:52] I created two partitions, a big linux one and a small ntfs one [07:52] CaptainQuirk: having 5 partitions is not silly [07:52] so no true fixes? Like a way to get the packages 11.4 used to do that? [07:52] my launcher bar has gone black [07:52] what can I try (other than reboot)? [07:52] ? [07:53] I tried to apply the changes but It wouldn't and ask me to reboot, which I did [07:53] JZApples, As for Evolution, I'd suggest something similar. "sudo apt-get purge evolution "evolution.*" "evolution-*"" should be overkill but fix it. :) [07:53] Starminn, thanks man, i'm off to bed [07:53] Now, I only have one big ntfs partition the size of the linux one I was trying to create [07:53] have to read it tomorrow [07:53] JZApples, Sure thing. :) [07:53] ? [07:53] And the remaining 10go are unallocated [07:54] CaptainQuirk: you can create only the linux partition and leave space unallocated, then create the ntfs partition in windows [07:54] ? [07:55] ? [07:55] addomi [07:55] adam [07:55] ? [07:56] Guest18833: stop that [07:56] anyone? [07:56] Guest18833: Anyone what? [07:56] zagibu, doesn't work either : now I try to unmount and I get this [07:56] Can someone tell me why this happens; after I installed Ubuntu 11.10 dual boot with W7 I have noticed a considerable drop in speed within the W7 environment. I have noticed this before as well when I had an older RedHat version setup as a dual boot machine.

[07:56] know how to get rid of this unity crap they forced on us in 11.10 and replace with the classic ubuntu desktop from 11.4 [07:56] Guest18833: GNOME 2 is not supported by GNOME anymore and thus it is not present in 11.10. [07:57] Guest18833: ubottu already gave you instructions. [07:57] Hello, everyone. [07:57] CaptainQuirk: that's strange...is it automounted when you reboot? [07:57] no, he gave me instructions for second best with 1/3rd functionallity -- i've tried that already... [07:57] hi waterDrop! [07:57] Guest18833: just install gnome-shell [07:57] How is your day? [07:57] zagibu, yes [07:58] CaptainQuirk: then remove the entries from /etc/fstab....or is it an external drive? [07:58] tried that zagibu -- doesn't give you the ubuntu tweaks, shortcuts, or functionality i will downgrade before I go that route [07:58] zagibu, it's an external drive yes [07:58] Guest18833: well, then switch to a distro that fits you better [07:59] sorry to hear that, Guest18833 [07:59] CaptainQuirk: can't you eject it via the GUI? [07:59] nope [07:59] zagibu, the message originated from a gui attempt [07:59] I didn't try the command line === root is now known as Guest50564 [07:59] can any1 help me increase the screen resolution? [07:59] what if you use the force parameter with umount? [07:59] zagibu, I'll try that [08:00] if that's the general attitude at Ubuntu, then yo will lose about 30-40% of your users. a LOT of us are really burnt by this crap... just google "how to remove unity from ubuntu 11.10"..... bad move if you want to keep subscriber base...... [08:00] ?????????????any1? [08:01] Guest18833: You have choices. If you don't like what Ubuntu is doing, then you can test-drive different distro. Isn't that why you're using linux? Freedom. [08:01] Guest50564: install drivers, google for ubuntu restricted drivers [08:02] Can someone tell me why this happens; after I installed Ubuntu 11.10 dual boot with W7 I have noticed a considerable drop in speed within the W7 environment. I have noticed this before as well when I had an older RedHat version setup as a dual boot machine. AMD x3 425 proc. 2.75 ghz w/ 5 gb ram [08:02] what freedom? Freedom means NOT being forced to something WORSE than what I had.... Ubuntu 11.4 was great.... Yall have wrecked it with this unity crap.... FREEDOM would be having a way to add the parts of 11.4 that made that happen to 11.10 with a simple command line... [08:03] keep in mind I speak for MANY that have used this distro for YEARS.. see tomsbuntu.com and many others for 1000's of complaints about this [08:03] Guest18833: Mind your attitude here. We are are all volunteers here. [08:03] kk [08:03] zagibu, I unmounted the drive but gparted is still issuing the same error message [08:04] volunteers understood -- but a total overhaul with no fallback? [08:04] Guest18833: I do see your point, but please bear in mind that you are using a free distro without warranty or expectations [08:04] Gues18833: only users in here, no canonical dudes [08:04] Guest18833, None of us have any say in what they decide, so the "general attitude" of not caring should be expected. ;) [08:04] again, google for THOUSANDS of complaints....... [08:04] Guest18833: That's not really an Ubuntu decision. That's everyone's no longer catering to the old desktop. Including GNOME. [08:04] Guest18833: again. If you didn't have Unity, you'd have GNOME 3. [08:04] Guest18833: Instead of complaining help make it better and stop whining [08:05] CaptainQuirk: i'm running out of ideas...you might want to try writing /dev/zero to your device with dd for a few seconds, to remove the partition table [08:05] Can someone tell me why this happens; after I installed Ubuntu 11.10 dual boot with W7 I have noticed a considerable drop in speed within the W7 environment. I have noticed this before as well when I had an older RedHat version setup as a dual boot machine. AMD x3 425 proc. 2.75 ghz w/ 5 gb ram [08:05] Guest18833, Unfortunately, GNOME Shell and Unity are very new so you should expect not to have all the same customization options of the old way that were developed over MANY years [08:05] Guest18833: You said YEARS. You should be quite understanding of how things usually work. [08:05] zagibu, I'm not sure of what you are talking about [08:06] ubidoobi2: it shouldn't. faster is a relative term so until you measure response time before and after Ubuntu install then its relative [08:06] UUMMMM, IT WAS BETTER --- the idea with improvement is to make it BETTER, not WORSE........ This was a DRASTIC FORCED CHANGE from 1 release to the next......... with no fall back or choice..... [08:06] you can low-level write directly to devices with dd [08:06] CaptainQuirk: this way, you can erase the partition table, because it is stored in the first bytes of the disk [08:06] zagibu, what does it mean writing /dev/zero ? [08:07] you mean writing inside the first sector then ? [08:07] jgeli: i think it has to do with the hd space time continuum. lol ... i just feel it's slower. then ... perhaps it is because i had windows tweaked pretty good before the installation ... not sure . [08:07] Guest18833: can you please take your whining to the #Ubuntu-offtopic and leave this channel open [08:07] CaptainQuirk: the command is dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/whatever, but make EXTRA SURE you are using the proper "whatever", or a stream of tears will erupt from your eyes...and you can ctrl+c the command after a few seconds, should be enough to erase the partition table [08:08] NO -- I am speaking for THOUSANDS of VERY DISSAPOINTED LONG TERM USERS [08:08] Guest18833: That have nothing to do with Ubuntu. Gnome wanted to abandon Gnome2 and start writing Gnome3 from scratch. Ubuntu wish to preserve GTK2 and decided to go with a different direction. We don't sit and plan on upsetting everyone. What upsets everybody is CHANGES. Changes are inevitable. [08:08] Guest18833, Tell some people who can do something about it -- or better yet, do it yourself. [08:09] Guest18833, you've been asked nicely to take this to a more appropriate place. right now you're disrupting the technical support channel [08:09] zagibu, sounds pretty risky to me ... [08:09] How do I boot into grub from 11.10? [08:09] It used to be tab key/down key together or something [08:09] #Ubuntu-offtopic please. You can start helping Guest18833 by following the rules [08:09] That isn't working [08:09] ??? I thought telling someone who could do something about it was why I was here?.... [08:09] Guest18833: the gnome foundation stopped supporting gnome2, deal with it. use another desktop environment that you like (i enjoy xfce best) [08:09] CaptainQuirk: it is...if you get the wrong device, you are screwed [08:09] Guest18833, This is general support. not development. [08:10] CaptainQuirk: because it directly writes zeroes on the device, destroying all data that might be there [08:10] do you guys know of an irc channel where i can get some hepl with ldap client authentication? [08:10] maybe ##linux can help? [08:11] hmmmm even so, seems like they could have left it in and just put a note saying "unsupported"........ [08:11] please move the discussion about Unity vs Gnome3 vs Gnome2 to #ubuntu-offtopic [08:11] Guest18833, i suggest if you want to contact the developers that you find appropriate discussion lists at lists.ubuntu.com for that. I recommend you don't use caps, or swear, and please don't hijack other threads. [08:11] zagibu, I don't really understand the example command you give [08:12] I didn't hijack anything [08:12] Guest18833, yet. i'm recommending you don't start. [08:12] i have a problem with my laptop and I and completely lost [08:12] zagibu, what is the if part ? [08:12] zapper_, if you explain your problem then people will know whether they can help or not [08:12] o ok -- good advice -- you don't get too many favorable responses that way... thx [08:12] it randomly freezes on boot [08:13] sometimes it would boot correctly [08:13] others it would boot to desktop withou loading the nvidia drivers [08:13] if is input file...it means the source of the data for the dd command [08:13] I need help, i don't have sound on rhythmbox, banshee, totem player, but i have sound on xbmc, vlc, youtube [08:13] what can be wrong/ [08:13] and sometimes it would simply just freeze at startup [08:13] hello all [08:13] it happened to me on natty, but i have freshly installed oneiric and it continues to o the same [08:13] zagibu, and /dev/zero is an empty container, is that it ? [08:13] if you set if=/dev/zero, it will use a constant stream of zeroes as input file [08:14] zapper_, what does the screen look like when it's freezing? [08:14] ok ... well, I only have to HD, and I think I will try that [08:14] gparted gives me the name quite unmistakebly [08:14] I have a strange issue: I connected external tv via HDMI. works well, even with audio. however, strangely the active window always is very dark (??) [08:14] it stays blue (im using kubuntu) with no text [08:15] in my case it would be dd if="/dev/zero" of="/dev/sdb" [08:15] CaptainQuirk: without the quotes, yes [08:15] i tryed entering in recovery mode when it freezes, but it just freezes while starting recovery too [08:15] zagibu, But maybe I'm supposed to indicate the partition in the of ? [08:15] Even this chat window is dark when i am writing. when i switch to terminal with alt-tab, then this chat window is bright in the background. wtf? [08:15] CaptainQuirk: not if you want to erase the partition table [08:15] ok [08:16] then I'll be able to create a new one with gparted, right ? [08:16] theonly difference being that on recovery mode it starts showing text until it reaches something related to the chipset (but its not an error though) [08:16] then it just freezes [08:16] zapper_, have you tested your ram memory ? [08:16] CaptainQuirk: that's the goal [08:17] zagibu, I'll try that, thanks [08:17] CaptainQuirk: if it works...we'll see [08:17] CaptainQuirk: no [08:17] zapper_, I'm no specialist, but maybe you can try that with a live cd [08:17] If you have an error, you'll see it from the start === Fiddich_ is now known as Fiddich [08:18] CaptainQuirk: all the times i booted from a live cd it worked just fine [08:18] Is nobody help me? [08:18] Hello all [08:19] how can i remove various os from boot time [08:19] <[Sanyi]> volition_, edit grub.cfg [08:19] how ? [08:20] [Sanyi]: that file shouldn't be edited directly [08:20] <[Sanyi]> why? [08:20] <[Sanyi]> :P [08:20] zapper, I got no other ideas, sorry [08:20] <[Sanyi]> i only edit directly, works perfect [08:20] <[Sanyi]> :) [08:20] volition_: you are meant to edit the files in /etc/grub.d/ and then run sudo update-grub [08:20] hi everyone, I hope someone can help me with a problem. For some reason whenever I unplug and plug my laptop charger my computer slows down, CPU usuage goes to 100 percent for no aparent reason. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem? === KIAaze is now known as KIAaze_away [08:21] zagibu, the partition table has been erased but gparted stilll won't create the new partitions [08:21] I am installing ubuntu 11.10, ubuntu 10.04 and windows 7, now when i start my system at boot time these options occur not i want to remove ubuntu 10.04 from boot time [08:21] still input/output error [08:21] now* [08:21] CaptainQuirk: that sounds really bad [08:22] zagibu, In gparted, I have a warning notice on the allocated space saying "unrecognized label" [08:22] [Sanyi]: grub.cfg is generated by update-grub. if you edit it directly your changes will be lost every time grub updates [08:22] in the information window === tfilipczuk is now known as makak [08:23] CaptainQuirk: I'm kind of out of ideas...except you might want to try to remove it from the enclosure and connect it internally, this will avoid the automount [08:23] zagibu, enclosure ?

[08:26] CaptainQuirk: as I said, I'm out of other ideas [08:26] or did you try fdisk? [08:26] it's the partition tool for the command line [08:27] haha [08:27] auronandace, Actually i have more than 4 os installed in my system, and now i want to remove the names of 2 os [08:27] from boot time [08:27] hi everyone, I hope someone can help me with a problem. For some reason whenever I unplug and plug my laptop charger my computer slows down, CPU usuage goes to 100 percent for no aparent reason. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem? === saboo is now known as register [08:27] hi can i get some help related with ubuntu assistance?

[08:29] auronandace, if possible then sure can u please explain me how [08:29] ? [08:29] zagibu, well, it doesn't crash right from the start, so a good sign I bet [08:29] CaptainQuirk where can i get gparted? can i used without rebooting?

[09:00] flopex: ah, that would be the problem :) [09:00] +1 to partedmagic [09:01] you can also download bootable gparted cds [09:01] or just install gparted [09:01] does anybody know how to get thumbnail support for RAW image files? (specifically nikon .NEF) [09:02] dr_willis, not able to install through sudo install gparted [09:03] that's no surprise [09:03] because it's not how you install software [09:03] odd. i installed gparted in the past.

[09:15] flopex, i think my problem is gone. thank you. [09:15] How can I have the rights to write to a usb hard drive ? [09:16] is it by creating a folder named like the device and owning it ? [09:17] is there any known issues about the battery reporting false info in 11.10 ? [09:18] CaptainQuirk: i didn't have to do anything with my usb harddrive, it mounts just like any other removable media (with full rw) [09:19] #python [09:19] auronandace, well, it worked like this for me too but I created a new partition table and the partition is mounted as root [09:19] well, one of the two partitions [09:20] CaptainQuirk: so change ownership [09:21] phlak_user, can I change it with the device mounted or should I unmount and change it on the directory ? [09:21] so that it is persistent [09:22] CaptainQuirk: unmount it, change the ownership of the mount-point and mount it back [09:23] CaptainQuirk: or better still, make your user a member of the plugdev group [09:23] phlak_user : I haven't created any mount-point for now. The prerequisite is that it bear the label of the partition, right ? [09:24] CaptainQuirk: how are you mounting it without one? anyways, it doesnt matter what it is called [09:24] phlak_user, since it mounts automatically throuh usb, how can it now where to mount ? [09:25] phlak_user, plus from what I can see in terms of rights on the device, write operation isn't allowed for group members [09:25] and the device doesn't belong to the plugdev group but to the root group [09:25] CaptainQuirk: automount generally creates a mountpoint in /media [09:26] phlak_user, exactly, but I think I need to use the label of the partition for it to mount where I want it to [09:27] hello, all of a sudden I cannot connect with my msn account using empathy, any one else having these problems ? [09:27] lapion: do you have telepathy-butterfly installed? [09:28] hii [09:28] can anyone help me with ubuntu [09:28] yes phlak_user hence the reason I said all of a sudden [09:28] ??

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [09:28] CaptainQuirk: what makes you think that? you can always change the label to whatever you want [09:29] how do i change the port number of http in ubuntu? [09:29] phlak_user : the point is, how can I tell the partition to mount at a mountpoint I'm owning ? [09:29] laluls212, too vague a question for me [09:30] phlak_user, you can connect to your msn account ? [09:30] lapion: i dont have an msn account [09:30] CaptainQuirk: by adding an entry in fstab [09:30] !mount | CaptainQuirk [09:30] CaptainQuirk: mount is used to attach devices to directories.

[09:31] laluls212, are you asking in the context of running an http server or in the context of trying to access the internet through a proxy?

[09:36] let me check deej1976 [09:36] my laptop doesn't boot and when i checl the log file there is one line that says "Dazed and confused, but trying to continue" [09:36] lapion: It's not a great fix for the faint hearted [09:37] any ideas on what todo to fix it? [09:38] deej1976, this happens every so many months, I was just checking if anyone else was experiencing this.. [09:38] flopex, I got the reason... I'm playing youtube not mpd...XD [09:38] lapion: I'm using pidgin and that connects correctly still [09:39] where should i ask questions related to app development in ubuntu? [09:39] given the fact that it is a very common problem and googling for msn not connecting would probably find a gazilion hits most of which would be not related to current problems.. I prefer to ask in a location where I know I can get a current experience [09:39] !ubuntu-dev [09:39] deej1976, ok.. [09:40] deej1976, can you connect with multiple accounts ? [09:40] When Ubuntu comes for smartphones it will have GPU accelerated UI unlike Android which delayed this till ICS? [09:40] Is it a good way to put "defaults" a the options in fstab since it means nouser [09:40] that's probably the reason why only root can mount ? [09:40] lapion: Have msn,yahoo,gtalk [09:41] Hmm, anyone tried using "deb http://user:pass@repourl.net/ /" in sources.list where the username is urlencoded due to containing an "@" ? Works well with curl cmdline but not in sources.list [09:41] deej1976: was that for me? ubuntu-dev is for the core developers, right? but i'll still check it. [09:42] rigved: Yes, bot did know anyhing about it [09:43] erbo: try wrapping the url with quotes. [09:43] deej1976: ok. thanks. i'll check the official IRC list of channels on the net.

It's been my default for years [09:46] I would like to be able to mount the disk as the owner to be able to write to it. How can I do that ?

[11:20] marko try installing the command-not-found package === M4rc3l is now known as zz_M4rc3l [11:21] lng: so by "ubuntu architecture" you really meant "does my CPU handle 64bit" ? [11:21] SwedeMike: uname -m is the arch of the kernel, not the cpu [11:21] SwedeMike: no [11:21] SwedeMike: my cpu is 64bit [11:21] StompinBroknGlas, Well, I am sorry. I am clueless. It should just work [11:21] SwedeMike: not sure about os [11:21] SwedeMike: you can install 32bit ubuntu on 64bit CPU, then run: uname -m and it will return: i686 [11:22] ActionParsnip: yes, I am aware of that. I'm still trying to figure out what he's after. [11:22] lng: uname -i [11:22] lng: usually your kernel will follow the ubuntu installed arch, or do you believe you might have installed a 64bit kernel on your 32bit system? [11:23] lng: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep model | grep name will show the CPU, you can then use the web to see what it is [11:23] Younder, it's ok, could it be a bug or something ? [11:23] * szal doesn't think that that is possible [11:23] deej1976: output of uname -im [11:24] hi [11:24] all i have made an upgrade from ubuntu 11.04 to 11.10 [11:24] ActionParsnip: man [11:24] I know my cpu [11:24] I know what is proc fs [11:25] lng: so what is the issue? [11:25] I'm not sure if my Ubuntu 64bit [11:25] lng: output of uname -im [11:25] i686 i386 [11:25] lng: then uname -m will tell you. i686 = 32bit x86_64 = 64bit [11:25] and i have an error could'nt download and install flash player for some network reasons [11:25] lng: Your on 32bit [11:26] yes [11:26] thanks [11:26] a lot === as456fgt is now known as dury [11:26] it aborts the update it has'nt make an clean up :s , and i have rebooted the machine [11:27] then now i don't see the network button the top bar , so i can't connect to a network * [11:27] :s [11:27] how does one get the new "titlebar vanishes into upper bar" bug/feature reset to gnome 2 version? [11:27] plz help me in this upgrade error [11:28] should i search for this bug "titlebar vanishes into upper bar" ?? [11:28] maximize window, 3 buttons disappear in some kind of bar [11:29] gnome3 bugfeature [11:29] not nice [11:29] the minimize, maximize, close buttons [11:29] and theres no more titlebar with menu bar [11:29] sucks [11:29] quarlog: do you mean the global menu? [11:29] and the sidebar sucks too [11:29] !notunity [11:29] Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [11:29] the menu on top [11:30] quarlog: Do you want to remove the global-menu so the apps have there own bars? [11:30] oh [11:30] just like it was in gnome2, with the new changes that make sense, no hardware compatibility modes please [11:30] quarlog: the gnome fallback is similar to old gnome [11:31] its slower [11:31] supposedly [11:31] oh, so ubuntus shell is unity [11:31] nice [11:31] can anyone help me for displaying network button [11:31] Could somebody take a look at this log http://paste.ubuntu.com/734107/ and tell me what is wrong? My laptop won't boot an this is driving me nuts!! [11:31] quarlog: yes, there is gnome-shell too [11:32] zapper1: at what poingt does it stop? [11:33] zapper1: don't crosspost please [11:34] got everything installed [11:34] still, not even in the tweak menu [11:34] dont want no stinking sidebar or that bugfeature with maximized windows [11:34] everything else is fine [11:34] ActionParsnip: at boot it leaves me with a black screen doing normal boot, and shows some text if i boot in recovery, but it would freeze either [11:35] * Younder just got carpenters 'I won't last a day without you' [11:35] just a taskbar with tasks and when maximized, well, maximized windows [11:35] quarlog: xfce? [11:35] nautilus and everything else like it was in gnome2 [11:35] no xfce [11:35] zapper1: what gpu do you use? [11:35] just the damn taskbar applet [11:35] none of the fancy stuff [11:36] quarlog: gnome fallback I believe does that [11:36] supposedly it also fallsback on the hardware and 3d dont work? [11:36] quarlog: a few are moving to xfce tbh, looks and smells like gnome2 [11:36] !classic | quarlog [11:36] quarlog: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". For 11.10, see !notunity [11:36] i can't see the network select button in the top bar in ubuntu after upgrade [11:36] !notunity [11:36] Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default.

Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [11:36] quarlog: sure, just add a startup item to run: compiz --rplace [11:36] compiz --replace [11:37] nvidia 8600M GT [11:37] My GPU is good for 1 Terra flop (a 2050 Tesla) [11:37] zapper1: did you upgrade from Natty to Oneiric? [11:37] anyone for help ? [11:37] no, i did a clean install [11:38] The NVIDEA 5000 is recommended [11:38] zapper1: you may need to drop to root recovery console and run: nvidia-xconfig [11:38] zero issue install [11:38] Younder: never heard of it ;) [11:38] my 6150 runs perfectly too, even with the 285 driver :) [11:39] ActionParsnip: the problem is that i can't get into recovery mode [11:39] ActionParsnip, http://www.nvidia.com/object/product-quadro-5000-us.html [11:39] zapper1: sure you can, hold shift at boot, select recovery mode, select root [11:39] Hello! I'm currently thinking of changing from Win 2008 server to Ubuntu and was wondering which of the releases are the most stable one? is there any diffrence at all ? [11:39] ActionParsnip, well be educated :) [11:40] Younder: it won't go in any of my systems, nor do I intend to spend that on a video card [11:40] ActionParsnip, one sinister power plug. [11:40] Younder: how is a power plug sinister? [11:40] ActionParsnip: no way, the laptop would freeze after i select that entry on grub, it would not get to the ncurses dialog where you select what kind of recovery task you want to do [11:40] ActionParsnip,It works fine with linux [11:41] Do anyone know? :) [11:41] Younder: great, still not buying it myself [11:41] driiper: releases are stable by definition (see ubottu's !sru factoid). Your main decision is if you want to use 10.04 LTS (supported for 5 years after release on server) or the latest stable: 11.10 (supported for 18 months after release). When support runs out, you simply upgrade release. 10.04 will not have software as new as 11.10 [11:41] driiper: I'd wait til april and install Perfect in a clean install (if you can), or install Lucid server and get lots of support for a long time [11:41] driiper, I have one! And it works just fine [11:42] ActionParsnip: the pastebin i posted earlier cotains the logs of two boots, the first through normal mode and the second in recovery mode [11:42] zapper1: then boot to liveCD and you can chroot [11:43] ActionParsnip: i'm on livecd now, what should i do? [11:43] But like, for example i need to install Rtorrent. in oneiric the version of RTORRENT is 8.7.7 and i need 8.6.6 in order to get the WEB ui to work. is there any possibility to use OLD repo's to get the required package (8.6.6) === Jens is now known as Guest71164 [11:44] Or should i just go for LTS and play it "safe" [11:44] driiper: maybe with a ppa. But if you have this requirement, I would recommend just using 11.10 [11:44] they removed the webui? how odd [11:44] They broke the API that most of the web UIs use, I believe [11:44] can anyone tell me how to setup gwibber streams? [11:44] They broke the xmlrpc API enough to break the web UI I wrote for it, anyway :P [11:45] yeh they broke it in 8.7.7 i guess. i'm using RUTorrent. [11:45] Why did they break it anyways? :P [11:45] I'm not sure, but it was annoying [11:45] because they could. [11:45] :-) [11:45] Just because we can ;D [11:45] I think I manually downloaded an old rtorrent + libtorrent package and installed it on this server, then pinned it [11:46] Which release are you using? oneiric? [11:46] zapper1: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/09/live-usb-sticking-grub-2-video/ instead of the grub install stuff run: sudo nvidia-xconfig [11:46] Yup [11:46] hello community [11:47] Good day tonydeneline [11:47] I just buyed a dell with a (dammit) Radeon graphic card [11:47] tonydeneline: which gpu? [11:47] which card? [11:47] I installed the ubuntu [11:47] so the fallback is for graphics fallback dont want [11:48] dont want compiz, want mutter [11:48] Yeaah, I apparently installed the natty packages for rtorrent/libtorrent. I wouldn't necessarily recommend it though, but it works for me :P [11:48] just want panels as they were [11:48] rest can stay [11:48] especially nautilus [11:48] want them damn panels [11:48] Exopaladin: How do you do that?, like how do you set it up in sources.list ? [11:48] is not microsoft windows with internet exploder in 98 [11:48] is ubuntu [11:48] driiper: I grabbed the two packages manually and ran dpkg -i [11:48] quarlog: then install mutter and in the fallback run: mutter --replace [11:49] quarlog: gnome-failback-session is not a downgrade of graphics [11:49] how do you install packages for R in ubuntu? [11:49] !info r [11:49] Package r does not exist in oneiric [11:49] !help [11:49] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [11:49] !help [11:49] lesshaste: can you expand the question please [11:50] Exopaladin: If i remember correctly i tried that aswell. but i was missing libtorrent 11 from the repo. [11:50] in some screenshots I've seen of gwibber there is a streams dropdown on the right of the title bar, but I dont see it in version 3.2.0.1 ubuntu 11.10 [11:50] lesshaste: aren't many of them in the repositories? For ones that aren't, there's probably a general place in your home that R will look for packages, no? [11:50] ActionParsnip, R is a major stats package but it has it's own way of installing packages within it which I was worried might conflict with the ubuntu way [11:50] installed mutter, will run fallback [11:50] and that magic command [11:50] but I can find drivers for "AMD Radeon HD 6470M 512MB,BCC" [11:50] hopefully there will be panels and great rejoicement then [11:50] and still hardware acceleration [11:51] ActionParsnip, Yes i Have a seriously bad dude.

[12:19] it looks like you signed the changes but not the .dsc file which you'd get out of debbuild [12:19] omar: I think one off your add repositiries is causing the problem, you should try disabling them to install gnome-shell [12:19] brondy: no, it all depends on what your needs are. [12:19] deej1976, now the error has changed to "gnome-shell has no installation candidate". [12:19] any good info around about the differences? [12:20] brondy, i do 64bit on servers and 32bit on desktops/laptops, mostly because of flash issues [12:20] omar: which repositires did you disable [12:20] deej1976, haven't disabled anything yet. [12:20] chowmeined: Flash issues are a thing of the past since Flash 11 [12:21] szal, lol [12:21] thanks [12:21] omar: sounds like your repositires are in a mess [12:21] brondy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/32bit_and_64bit [12:21] szal, its probably better, but i doubt there will ever be no issues, theres even issues with flash on windows [12:21] cool thanks [12:21] chowmeined, how ? [12:21] chowmeined: I didn't say it's flawless, but native 64bit is way better than 32bit w/ a wrapper [12:22] chowmeined, this is my 1st package? [12:22] deej1976, I don't think so.. I haven't tinkered with them much. All I did was add one repository. That's all. :\ [12:22] szal, thats good to hear [12:22] i havent tried 64bit ubuntu desktop lately though so I can't vouch for it [12:22] for some reason, I can no longer copy to my remote pc, are there any known/common ftp issues? http://imagebin.org/183474 [12:23] dr3mro, how did you build the package? debuild? [12:23] chowmeined, yes [12:23] as for 64bit and Flash, I recommend installing Firefox (even if you use some other browser) and the FlashAid plugin to pull the latest Flash version [12:23] Hi.

[13:47] if anything too catastrophic happens, i don't feel bad about formatting [13:48] admiralshlorky: If you have to shorten or censor a word, just don't use it [13:48] weeb: seems like it does, you just add the drive to the array and it will rebuild [13:48] ActionParsnip, is there any drawbacks from getting the latest vlc? Where a version is buggy because it is beta or something? [13:48] deej1976: i cant use ppa-purge, it needs install and i cant install anything [13:48] truepurple: its not officially supported here is all I can say.

Can you please add one, I don't care if it doesn't work but it leaves me with a sense of accomplishment when I have used it.

Wouldn't bet my lung on it ;) [14:09] truepurple: i never said it was a feature of newer versions only. [14:09] jstoone: ok i won't deal with that :) thank you [14:09] alex88: Have you tried to compile the pkg? [14:10] alex88: Just want to make sure it works properly ;) [14:10] truepurple: you could also try reencoding the video files with arista or winff, or ffmpeg or mencoder. [14:10] truepurple: http://www.kahunaburger.com/2010/01/30/fixing-an-avi-index-with-mencoder/ [14:10] jstoone: i've done the ./configure for now and it says yes, i think it will work, btw, compiling :) [14:11] truepurple: when it comes to encoding i've had the best results with ffmpeg or mencoder, that dr_willis mentioned. [14:11] truepurple: handbrake (available via a ppa) has a great gui for doing transcoding of video. [14:11] $ mencoder -idx in.avi -ovc copy -oac copy -o out.avi [14:11] alex88: Glad to hear! Have a good one. [14:12] for Just fixing the index.. i imagine that mencoder line above would be faster then reencoding. :) === sysadamin|away is now known as sysadamin [14:14] dr_willis, how do I get 1.2? and how do I get vlc to fix broken indexs?

The video is integrated into the motherboard(ECS EliteGroup 761GX-M754 V3.0c). I've properly configured my xorg.conf file and everything is going well except the flickering lines. They appear to happen more when I click and drag things around the screen. Please help! [15:22] thiebaude, the (post-release updates) dont finish the instalation [15:23] tonydeneline: You need to install the actual driver first, and then the updates [15:23] umm thats strange [15:23] and with just one... the efects dont apears [15:23] er, hi all? [15:23] tonydeneline: Did you reboot after installing it? Did you run "sudo aticonfig ---initial"? [15:23] hi [15:23] MrJW: is that screen tearing youve got? [15:24] is this a place to just 'dump my issue'? [15:24] markus: Sort of [15:24] sort of? [15:24] well, I tryed, but it says some thing dont founded [15:24] warfaren, it looks very similair tp tearing yes. [15:24] I have a problem with finding a suitable GUI for hamachi === Alex`aw is now known as BaNz [15:24] horrible stuff [15:25] I will wait again for this installation to end, and tell you the intire message [15:25] but can you see it if nothing is moving? [15:25] hello i finally managed to upload a package to ppa but it fails to build here is the log http://pastebin.com/jwDSfVX6 === famine is now known as famgod [15:25] warfaren yes but it is not as noticable [15:25] theadmin, using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS - the Lucid Lynx ... [15:26] Aldus: Oh, that doesn't group indeed, I'm not sure how to do it with gnome2 [15:26] theadmin, is there a (not painful) quick way to switch to a newer version without losing stuff? === max is now known as Visionaire [15:26] Aldus: No, not really. [15:26] Evening guys! I am running 11.10 on a laptop. I've attached a seperate monitor through VGA and everything works perfectly. But is there a way to get a "Global menu bar" on both screens? Each only representing the programs running on the same screen. [15:26] theadmin, hah ok [15:26] thanks [15:26] My Haguichi configure button doesn work because of: You do not have permission to control the hamachid daemon. [15:27] hm strange.. [15:27] thats what debug says when I run haguichi --debug [15:27] dddbmt, weirdly, it just works for me [15:27] it says a load more, but I think this causes the problem [15:27] dddbmt: haha, yeah good luck with that on unity :P :P [15:27] * conntrack back flips [15:27] markus: Try it with sudo? [15:27] proxx, I take that as a no? ;) [15:27] warfaren, sould it be my integrated SiS video? [15:27] KrisDouglas, What works? [15:27] dddbmt, how did you configure the addition of the external display and on which card is it? [15:27] I tried but it throws an exception [15:28] dddbmt, panel on each screen [15:28] on Haguichiś Main [15:28] i have the last version, is my first time in linux so i didn't now about security in xubuntu. i now i can to modified the firewall in windows. but i don't now anything about security in xubuntu. [15:28] You do not have permission to control the hamachid daemon. [15:28] Unhandled Exception: System.Exception: Unable to open the session message bus [15:28] dddbmt: you could check out compiz and hack around it, but uhm not i wouldnt know any other way, anyone else ? [15:28] !ufw | david_1 [15:28] david_1: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE Lucid and Maverick) also exist. [15:29] KrisDouglas, Geforce GT 550M. I configured the display with System Settings -> Displays ? [15:29] proxx, I allready got compiz installed (for exposé) but I'd like a "native" solution if there is one. [15:30] david_1: Just don't worry about that stuff, you don't need it [15:30] david_1: theadmin is right, the defaults are fine, the biggest security risk is the user [15:31] david_1: you just need to know what you are doing [15:31] so I would try to remove the need of having root privs from the hamachi daemon, but I dont know where to start with that [15:31] dddbmt, Try enabling twinview with the nvidia settings tool. Thats how I did it and it worked. It didn't work when I used the Ubuntu monitors settings [15:31] KrisDouglas, dddbmt >> hes using randr [15:31] or I should find another way to give Haguichi root privs [15:31] he cant use nvidia settings, hes using ironhide right ? [15:32] ok thanks you [15:32] proxx, honestly - I am not sure what I'm using. How do I check that? [15:32] does anybody knows a good delphi compiler? [15:33] dddbmt can you use nvidia-settings ? [15:33] can you access nvidia-settings? [15:33] lol. [15:33] i made the assumtion that you ahve switched settings [15:33] settings = graphics [15:33] proxx, when I open it, it tells me I am not using nvidia x driver. [15:33] theadmin: any ideas? [15:33] Oh well, Will just stick with KDE anything [15:33] anyhow* [15:33] ^ for KrisDouglas [15:33] dddbmt: and you can use monitors right ? [15:33] markus: Nay [15:34] proxx, I am using both monitors right now? [15:34] dddbmt, sounds like you're using the open source driver [15:34] I tried Hamachi-GUI too, but that hangs on 'starting hamachi' [15:34] dddbmt: lol i meant the tool :P [15:34] This site https://launchpad.net/~handbrake-ubuntu/+archive/ppa, says "You'll see that the text-box directly below reads something like this ...Copy those lines." copy, as in input them into terminal too? [15:34] Hello [15:35] KrisDouglas, are you running twin view - with same image on both screens? [15:36] dddbmt: you have a new laptop right ? [15:36] proxx, yes. a few weeks old. Asus N43S [15:37] dddbmt, twinview is the nvidia version of having two screens you can move stuff between [15:37] How do I force gettext to be installed with version gettext-0.18.1 ? [15:37] uh uh, and it's "Windows 7 optimized" :P [15:37] (I'm on lucid) [15:37] dddbmt: exactly, based on your card i assumed so, you should install ironhide, to use your full graphic acceleration , [15:37] !ironhide [15:37] dddbmt: but thats a bit off topic :P [15:38] does anybody knows a good delphi compiler for ubuntu? [15:38] proxx, ironhide does what for me? Compared to the nvidia drivers? [15:39] proxx, dddbmt, I was thinking that, never herd of ironhide [15:39] I just used the driver from the nvidia website [15:39] dddbmt: wont really help your menu problem :P, for that i dont have an awnser sorry, uhm well ironhide allows you to use ur nvidia card. coz its not suported by nvidia itself [15:39] Hey everyone [15:40] Um_cara_qualquer, I am not sure if it is still functional, but I have used Lazarus in the past. lazarus.freepascal.org [15:40] KrisDouglas, I heard bad stuff will happen to you if you install from the website. What happens I don't know though ;) Something with kernel updates [15:40] dddbmt, that is fixed by installing DKMS (Dynamic Kernel Module Support) seems to solve the problem for me [15:40] dddbmt: the whole optimus techonology that ur machine uses basically says, screw linux users, thats why you really should check it out, i think its in the repos [15:40] I've been trying, for a while, to make a mobile broadband usb modem work on Ubuntu 11.04 [15:40] I can install a new kernel with these drivers from update manager and my graphics don't break [15:40] KrisDouglas, okay - again I don't know why it's a bad thing - just been told it is. (In here actually) [15:41] apwbdjp: You likely need usb_modeswitch [15:41] anyone know if there are logs from fsck when it runs during boot? google suggests /var/log/fsck, but those files were last updated in 2009 [15:41] This site https://launchpad.net/~handbrake-ubuntu/+archive/ppa, says "You'll see that the text-box directly below reads something like this ...Copy those lines." copy, as in input them into terminal too? [15:41] It's working from wvdial (which is pretty primitive, needs sudo privileges, and loses connexions every once in a while) [15:41] proxx, okay - I'll definitly do that :) [15:41] apwbdjp: Soo... What is the problem? [15:41] Hello [15:42] apwbdjp: If wvdial works you can as well install gnome-ppp and use that [15:42] you guys lied to me yesterday! *pout* [15:42] Hum.. when I plug it in, nm-applet says it recognises it, and tries to connect with it [15:42] dddbmt: solved a problem you didnt know existed :P hehe , check software center, or synaptic for that [15:42] dddbmt: it at least saves you battery power [15:42] You said there's no way to install Ubuntu from Windows without rebooting; what the heck is WUBI for, then... [15:42] SinusPi: Wubi is for idiots. [15:42] SinusPi: ;) [15:42] no matter. [15:43] SinusPi: Seriously? All it gives you is a broken system. [15:43] SinusPi: Do you want? Doubt it. [15:43] no matter really. [15:43] proxx, it sounds great! And it should be pretty easy to get running? [15:43] yes, I do want, actually. :> [15:43] i know someone that uses WUBI actually [15:43] KrisDouglas, thx [15:43] I'm running ubuntu 10.04 (lucid) server and i installed clamav, but the freshclam command doesn't do anything. how can I manually update the virus database? [15:43] appears to work fine for them, a tiny bit slow however [15:43] dddbmt: yeah pretty straight forward through gui menus [15:43] but it does no more than try, the green led keeps flashing on it, and nothing [15:44] proxx, fantastic! Thanks for enlighten me! :P [15:44] But it's not what I'm asking for, actually, here's the true thing [15:44] question: how should I _manually_ edit XP boot files, so that a HDD boots into Ubuntu? I have an XP drive pulled from a laptop and connected via USB to my desktop here; I need to install Ubuntu on THAT drive, without breaking my own MBR on my W7 box here. [15:44] dddbmt: most welcome, iam hope to give back to the community [15:44] proxx++ [15:44] On a friend's computer (who was using 10.xx), it always worked fine [15:44] dddbmt meant happy [15:44] By worked fine, I mean worked right from the network manager [15:45] anybody using xfce? [15:45] Reading through WUBI docs, I see it'll modify my CURRENT boot sequence, on the desktop, that is. I don't want that. I want to edit the boot sequence for drive E: (the USB enclosure) so that I can put it back into the laptop and have it friggin' boot. [15:45] He backed up his home folder, zeroed his hardrive, and installed 11.04 [15:45] hi, I have just bought a laptop with ubuntu. It has ubuntu 10.10! I want to upgrade but I'm afraid if the drivers wouldn't be available after the upgrade. How can I get sure that i will not have such a problem? [15:45] The modem stopped working. [15:45] proxx, that's how it should be! Unfortunately you'll bump into people who think otherwise, from time to time. === uranellus is now known as Uranellus [15:45] He copied his home folder back to its place: It worked again! [15:45] So, does network-manager keep some config files, device rules, or something, on the home folder? [15:46] :) [15:46] Jay_Jay: Me. [15:46] Just so I can see what's the difference between his config and mine [15:46] 折呢 [15:46] soroush: why would that be ? === matt_ is now known as Guest2322 [15:46] 你们好啊 [15:46] quit [15:46] apwbdjp: "his"? So girls are not welcome? :P [15:46] anqi: English please [15:47] .... [15:47] no [15:47] anqi: dupa [15:47] anqi: What is your native language? [15:47] anqi: I can't tell from those glyphs... Japanese? [15:47] hey peoples [15:47] chinese, likely. [15:47] no kana. [15:47] so, I have been trying for 3 days now to get 11.10 to see my ipod touch [15:47] theadmin, sure they are ^^ [15:47] !cn | anqi [15:47] anqi: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [15:48] SinusPi: Oh, yeah... Kanji and chinese are too alike though [15:48] umm... Chinese USE Kanji... [15:48] SinusPi: Oh lol [15:48] I'm running 10.04 LTS. Is there an additional repo to get newer nvidia drivers than 185? [15:48] SinusPi: I'm not too into all that (unless countless anime counts xD) [15:48] both Japanese and Chinese use kanji, they just interpret some signs differently. [15:49] however, Japanese have kana and Chinese don't. End of difference ;P [15:49] theadmin, don't mention anime, I am supposed to be working and you're distracting me :) [15:49] KrisDouglas: lol :P [15:50] So, again... how would I use WUBI to have it work on a USB drive and make THAT bootable into Ubuntu, not even touching my current main HDD setup? [15:50] anyone here have an ipod with ios5 working with ubuntu? [15:51] Sorry , I can't speak Englis [15:51] SinusPi: You can't use wubi for that, but you can use unetbootin... [15:51] theadmin: what's that..? [15:51] SinusPi: A tool to install Ubuntu onto USB drives and such [15:51] bummer. [15:52] the lappy can't boot from usb.

hello im trying to get my data from a hitachi harddrive formated in mac OS [15:52] SinusPi, Can you not use a disk? [15:52] proxx: before I had a dell and whenever I upgraded I had to find the drivers on line to install them but I don't have access to non wireless internet so if it will be serious problem to upgrade and I would perfer not to upgraede up to april [15:52] KrisDouglas: no CD booting, either. It's some SNAFU, but I can only boot it from its own HDD. [15:52] No one [15:52] So, I need to make THAT HDD bootable into Ubuntu... or into ANYTHING really >_< [15:53] soroush: and how about using a seperate partition to test it out ? [15:53] hello [15:54] Why should [15:54] anqi: make sense or stop it please [15:54] anyone úsed fedora 16 , can give me a review ? [15:54] monitor_superman: wrong channel [15:55] hehehe! [15:55]

[15:58] h4: there is sold hfs read capabilities [15:58] who sells HFS read capabilities? [15:58] no-one sells it [15:58] :) [15:58] it's part of the linux kernel [15:58] solid [15:58] not sold === basti2 is now known as basti [15:59] proxx: It has only one partition that couldn-t be un mounted. but i think It would be a good Idea if i try ubuntu on usb! [15:59] it means you can read data, but not modify / delete etc. [15:59] I have a multi monitor system. It's set up so that each monitor isnt mirrored and has its own space. However, I want the monitor on the right to be the primary monitor while the one on the left will be the extra workspace. So far i can only get the monitor on the left to be the primary display [16:00] anyone know how to change it or have a link which explains it [16:00] joe_: what chipset [16:00] soroush: yeah, it runs fine of usb , good idea, you could also resize the partition from a live cd , allthough you could brick your partition, ive done it multiple time with succes. [16:00] dr_willis, ati [16:00] Why here to speak more English [16:01] its the HD 3450 video card [16:01] anqi what is your ubuntu question [16:01] job_: try that ati controllpanel program? [16:01] hey! [16:02] hello [16:02] proxx: thanks! [16:02] dr_willis, i did. Like i said, i can get both displays working with their own desktop but the monitor on the left is always the primary. I don't see an option to set which monitor is the primary [16:02] soroush: your welcome :) [16:03] 我英语很差 [16:03] i know nvidia has the setting. joe_ i dont use ati.

[16:04] maybe i will throw the gt240 card kicking around in to the computer [16:04] przemek_pl, can't. One is hooked up via DVI while the other is VGA [16:04] is this the place to find linux support and maybe learn some more...? [16:04] hmm [16:04] actually [16:04] qui-gon: this channel is specific for Ubuntu [16:04] qui-gon: for ubuntu [16:05] lol [16:05] i might be able to switch the cables on the monitor [16:05] s [16:05] !jp | anqi [16:05] anqi: 日本語の場合は /join #ubuntu-jp または /join #kubuntu-jp を入力して下さい。 [16:05] qui-gon: yes [16:05] Hi , there is no sound in smplayer ,i have ubuntu 10.10 .any help please . [16:05] yeah i'm on Jaunty [16:05] for years now [16:05] qui-gon: but i think a little general linux question wouldnt be that bad :P [16:05] no support though [16:05] qui-gon: high time to upgrade, /me thinks [16:05] wissam: what about other apps? [16:05] I got a third monitor coming today. Maybe I'll wait until it shows up so i can configure everything at once [16:05] This site https://launchpad.net/~handbrake-ubuntu/+archive/ppa, says "You'll see that the text-box directly below reads something like this ...Copy those lines." copy, as in input them into terminal too? [16:06] proxx: in fact it would, it distracts from the topic. [16:06] przemek_pl: movie player is ok [16:06] oke sorry [16:07] can't upgrade without puttin in some serious hours cause my machine can't take newer distros [16:07] wissam: you mast go and change some options. most likely wrong output method / plugin is in use. or perhaps your volume is set to zero. ubuntu is using pulse audio. you can set alsa as output as well. [16:07] qui-gon: your not making any sense [16:08] does anyone happen to know of a great alternative to vlc that is gtk or even a frontend to vlc thats gtk? [16:08] hi. I am new to this chat usually on linux mint, just wanted to ask if Ubuntu 11.10 should be a bit more CPU intensive than linux Julia ?

[16:22] Laurenceb: Don't know if this is anything to do with that error, I struggled getting bluetooth running on my laptop, the solution was to boot into windows, switch the adapter off in windows & then reboot into ubuntu, that reset the on/off status of the adapter [16:23] Jordan_U: szal I have an issue with the Clock applet.

I have an ubuntu installation / UNetbootin question: I've used the same USB stick for eeebuntu 8.10, xubuntu 11.10, and lubuntu 11.10. Will this cause problems, or is the installer smart enough to avoid choking on the extra files? [17:04] my first bet would be that it would overwrite others, but its not that hard to setup grub on a usb key [17:04] woah sorry i dropped out, accidentaly started compiz and had to restart X [17:04] gage_bw: should be fine but 8.10 is EOL and eeebuntu isn't supported here [17:05] okay so I have an ATI HD3850, using the open sourceATI drivers [17:05] does glxgears run [17:05] Hello [17:05] or glxspheres ? [17:05] ActionParsnip: Right, that's why I'm upgrading from eeebuntu 8.10. I haven't successfully installed either xu- or lu-, though [17:06] gage_bw: sweet [17:06] Can anyone help with enabling desktop sharing on a fresh fully updated 11.10 ubuntu install? [17:06] I'm considering heading to walmart and buying a brand new USB stick for this purpose [17:07] okay glxgears just opens a black window with nothing inside [17:07] oke then ur video card is not working [17:07] fix that first === Corsair is now known as Guest91215 [17:08] Aynone have experience with desktop sharing on 11.10 I tried just about everything to get it working [17:08] Anyone knowledgeable about preseeding a RAID config?

Now I can no longer login as that user (screen flashes to black and drops straight back to login screen). I've created a new user and can login fine with it and then su to the other user, when I logout of that I get a 'Sessions still open, not unmounting' is there anyway to recover that user? [17:09] gage_bw: Why would you need a new USB drive? [17:09] Yeah I did, I have a fresh install of ubuntu desktop and went to "desktop sharing" enabled what I needed and -- nothing === nils- is now known as nils_ [17:09] I had it working since 6.10 no problems [17:10] thanks proxx, any idea where to start? the ATI open source drivers should "just work" right [17:10] bozleh: yeah sorry i never used ati, propriatary drivers ? [17:10] proxx: It broke on 11.04->11.10 update so I did a fresh install but that didnt help [17:10] Early in the preseed process, I have this line: [17:10] d-i preseed/early_command string /usr/bin/wget -O ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/p/partman-auto-raid/partman-auto-raid_7_all.udeb && udpkg -i /tmp/raid.udeb [17:10] That's where it's failing.

I'm going to try to install *anyway* before I buy another stick, though. [17:11] Haeks: pff yeah kinda hard to debug , as i dont have any details. [17:11] Hi, how can I permanently change hostname in Ubuntu? [17:11] !hostname | nyuszika7h [17:11] nyuszika7h: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hosts to include BOTH the old and new hostname and then change /etc/hostname to the new one. WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. [17:11] thanks [17:12] bozleh: that sux dude, cant help you with that :S search for your specific card on google i guess [17:12] proxx: cheers anyway [17:12] gage_bw: If the integrity check fails then don't install from it. Even if installation succeeds whatever was corrupted might cause unexpected problems in the future. [17:12] gage_bw: Also, check the md5sum of the iso you created the USB from to ensure it wasn't just a bad download rather than a bad drive. [17:12] proxx: what details do you need? Fresh install with all updates. tried connecting with remote desktop on mac and with VNC via windows. I get connection refused (61) on VNC . I did a bit of googling an see lots of others had same problem, but no fixes listed [17:13] heaks is your port open ? [17:13] Jordan_U: I'll check the md5 now, assuming it's straightforward enough to check it. If it's good, what do you recommend that I do? [17:13] proxx: yep [17:13] !md5 [17:13] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [17:13] proxx: port 5900 is open [17:14] Herp derp, think I fixed my problem [17:14] proxx: firewall ect is not enabled. just a fresh install with desktop sharing enabled [17:14] haeks: oke and you have set the usename etc, can you login from localhost ? [17:14] nyuszika7h: change /etc/hostname AND /etc/hosts at the same time (open both with gksudo gedit, then change both, otherwise gksudo will fail) [17:15] Haeks: is it over the web? [17:15] proxx: well, no I didnt set any username. It never asks for that in VNC? I just went to desktop sharing dialog and enabled sharing, never tried localhost [17:16] haeks , can you connect to it 127.0.0.1 ? try that first [17:16] ActionParsnip: No not oever web, internal ip currently [17:16] Haeks: good, vnc has zero security :) [17:16] if thats not working then the config is wrong [17:17] Haeks: also try ping the IP of the server [17:17] proxx: I will try connecting that way, and check if vino-server is running properly [17:18] ActionParsnip: pinging the server works fine [17:18] I can SSH to it ect [17:18] ActionParsnip: 64 bytes from 192.168.0.195: icmp_seq=30 ttl=64 time=3.878 ms [17:19] ActionParsnip: looks good [17:19] Haeks: nicewhat do you need vnc for?

[17:19] gage_bw: md5sum ./lubuntu-11.10-alternate-i386.iso [17:20] Can you please help me? Where I can config shortcuts for terminal, that by default is 'CTRL+ALT+Fx' ? [17:20] Haeks: what's vine? [17:20] haeks , if you can confirm, that it is or isnt working, i advice you to install vncviewer , and run it on localhost with a verbose flag [17:20] ActionParsnip: windows emulator ? [17:20] ActionParsnip: isn't \ the windows standard? They *both* seem to work [17:20] Haeks: ohh WINE [17:21] haeks: we need some additional connection info [17:21] ActionParsnip: hah Wine vine vino.. eventually it would mess up [17:21] proxx: I will try that, Ill return in 5 mins [17:21] aight [17:21] ActionParsnip: Same huge list of errors, anyway, plus I have to ctrl-c to kill the process [17:21] i need to get gcc / gfortran 4.3 running on ubuntu 11.04 - is there any binary package?

I tried getting along with GIMP for months. It's just not gonna right for me. [17:50] lordjj: What type of work are you trying to do? [17:50] I've verified that the download was good. This could mean that 1) UNetbootin didn't do its job correctly, and something on the USB stick is corrupt; or 2) Lubuntu 11.10 'alternate' can't actually be checked for defects with that unetbootin option. [17:50] ActionParsnip: im sorry, i really dont know what you are talking about, have you mistaken me for someone? [17:51] I need to crop, work with shapes, layers, resize images, add drop shadows... [17:52] Mostly I need to be able to put stuff togethers for ads, icons, and logos. Jordan_U [17:52] Let's be honest, Gimp is far from being half as good as photoshop [17:52] RandomRoger: http://forum.open-xchange.com/archive/index.php/t-112.html should help [17:52] lordjj: For icons and logos inkscape (a vector graphics application) might be better. [17:52] Simple posters, with drop shadow test... [17:52] especially if you are a professional [17:52] moystard: many use it with great success [17:53] Thanks [17:53] lovre: yeah seems so, tab spazz [17:53] Jordan_U it's not only icons and logos though. There are posters and large page backgrounds too. [17:55] hi [17:55] Is there soundmenu extention for Rhythmbox like the one for Banshee? [17:55] moystard: many really do use it with awesome results, but i understand where you're coming from. my main machine runs win7 with photoshop and i *have* to use it if i'm wanting to do something more serious. [17:56] Hey all [17:56] could anyone tell me where i can gte cheap laptop ubuntu online [17:56] I'm not saying anything about GIMP. I realize it is a powerful tool. To me, it's just not a FAST enough tool. [17:56] *get [17:56] nasrullah [17:56] Just get something with like 2GB ram [17:56] and a decent CPU [17:56] what you guys think of seamonkey, worth using ? [17:56] Really it's the only thing I miss from my ancient Windows days... [17:56] then take of windows [17:56] lordjj: when you say "fast", what's that related to? [17:56] Jordan_U: The downloaded .iso passed the md5 check. Would you now recommend that I redo the unetbootin process and 'check disc for defects' again? === Mud is now known as Guest7275 [17:57] i do use seamonkey it is nice in a way === Fusionite is now known as Ultimate === Ultimate is now known as Fusionite [17:57] lordjj: someone who might know all the keyboard shortcuts on GIMP but none on PS would obviously be able to use GIMP a whole lot "fast"er than PS. so it depends what you mean... [17:57] nasrullah: nice in a way? :) [17:57] Can I expand the partition that I'm currently in? [17:57] nasrullah: system76 do preinstalled ubuntu :) [17:57] pompeii I mean easy to use. Like, magic wand, new layer from cut, right click add drop shadow, done. That kind of fast. [17:57] while it's mounted? [17:57] thank you [17:58] rabbi1: sure, give it a whirl, see what you reckon :) [17:58] b0ot: no you will need it unmounted [17:58] b0ot: use a liveCD if it is your system partition [17:58] hmm [17:58] lordjj: then from your perspective, PS is just more intuitive to use. *I AGREE*, but i will say that it's only that way because we've used PS before GIMP. how about those who use Paint Shop Pro or Corel Draw and things of the like? they'll come to PS and think it's junk or less-than, similar to how we may view GIMP. [17:58] dang I can't use a live cd [17:59] no usb or cd drive [17:59] Dudes, How would I go about using a vHost here? [17:59] thanks, will goahead, guess not much people user seamonkey, at the most people are happy with thunderbird... will give it a try [17:59] pompeii I agree. But I must say, I've given GIMP a very large amount of time. [18:00] pompeii: probably find PS more intuitive because you have use it for so long... [18:00] seamonkey is becoming robust nowadays.. [18:00] ActionParsnip: that's my point indeed [18:00] ActionParsnip: Jordan_U: Thank you for your help. I'm rescuing the data now. [18:00] when I plug in something to my usb drive... it shows up when I do an lsusb but it doesn't ever seem to show up in the filesystem [18:00] <3 being able to use Linux to fix people's computers at work :P [18:00] Hello. I have a launcher on gnome-panel, is there a way to change it's icon on the fly? [18:00] rypervenche: You're welcome. [18:01] pompeii I just can not come to terms with it. [18:01] have anyone use pardus linux [18:01] lordjj: and as a professional, if you had to choose one, it would have to be PS for the pure reason that most of the industry uses it. it will make you more relevant and more compatible in the sense that if you were to ever have a conversation about graphics editing, you would be on the same page as the next guy. #truth [18:01] Antonis: you can edi the file in /usr/share/applications but it will change the item for ALL === SkiOne_ is now known as SkiOne [18:02] Antonis: i assume there is a gconf entry for each item in the panel, you could adjust the settings there programaticly [18:02] ActionParsnip, you mean the .desktop file? I made a python script that changes the Icon=/path/to/icon.png but it doesn't change on the panel.. I have to kill gnome-panel in order to see the changes [18:02] jtr__ :) [18:02] Antonis: not sure then man, sorry [18:02] Anyone know why my usbdrives won't mount even though I have automounting enabled [18:02] riffautae, oh where do I find those changes?? [18:02] dear friends is there a channel about Content Management Software? [18:02] b0ot: did you safetly remove last time you ejected the device? [18:02] Fusionite: a li'l busy man but , hi :) [18:02] nasrullah: that is offtopic here [18:02] Okay bro [18:03] ok bro [18:03] Antonis: I believe you will need to run: unity --replace to apply [18:03] i want to know how to dual boot pardus with ubuntu [18:04] ActionParsnip, Probably not, but I have tried multiple usb drives [18:04] Antonis: you can look around with gconf-editor [18:04] ActionParsnip, it doesn't even show up with a fdisk -l [18:04] Antonis: try /apps/panel/applets [18:05] luca: you can go to there own chanel what particular cms are do you want to ask? [18:05] i am talking about dual booting [18:05] not off topic issue === deusr is now known as deusr-off [18:05] I'd like to know which is better between joomla, wordpress and drupal [18:05] thank you [18:06] !best | luca [18:06] Antonis: also /apps/panel/objects [18:06] ActionParsnip, I'm able to plug in my mouse into that usb port, but I can't get any usb drive to show up [18:06] luca: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [18:06] Antonis: that last one is where my app launchers seem to be [18:06] which is the best [18:06] #ubuntu-ru [18:07] luca: it depends what your intentions are. obviously drupal and joomla would require a little bit more knowledge but will give you more control. [18:07] riffautae, thank you found it!! I just have to find a way to identify which of the objects is the right one :P [18:07] luca: #joomla [18:07] pompeii: I'd like to realize a site on nanotechnology [18:08] ActionParsnip, I do have an error message dahdi-dkms failed to install or upgrade if that means anything? [18:08] but for me it's the first time i use this cms [18:08] what do you think of? [18:08] i've already realized something [18:08] i'd like to know your opinion [18:08] How do I fix hibernation in Ubuntu? [18:08] I installed uswsusp, uncommented the swap space in /etc/fstab and now it does says that it is hibernating but when I power on the machine again I get a new fresh start rather than the hibernated session. [18:09] http://filibertobiolca.altervista.org/ [18:09] have a look to it please [18:09] luca: for the most ease-of-use, i say wordpress. publishing is fast, you can create pages on top of your main page, having it emulate an actual normal website versus a blog. [18:09] lordjj: if you don't mind trying other stuff, you might perhaps want to experiment w/ CinePaint [18:09] luca: but again, it wouldn't hurt just to try everyone you're thinking about and then stick with the best. it wouldn't take that long to realize which one you like the most, i think. [18:09] luca: also check drupal (harder, but more customization) and joomla [18:10] Okay, another question. All the *buntus I looked at recommended 4.3GB. The target hdd is 4.0GB. Will the installation work at all? [18:10] (4.3 gigs during installation, that is) [18:10] !lowmem | gage_bw [18:10] gage_bw: For installing on low memory systems, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems.

[18:11] I don't know if the graphics method is available on macbook pro as all the graphic cards are not listed [18:12] pompeii: have you seen my site? What do you think of?

While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [18:13] ronin___: did you set up a ppa or download the deb from some place? [18:13] sorry and thx [18:13] ActionParsnip http://paste2.org/p/1770207 [18:13] luca: no, i haven't. and again, my opinion is only an opinion. there's not much else that i can give to you- your personal experience will be your best bet to trust. we're getting really offtopic in this channel now, sorry. PM me if you really wanted to talk more. [18:13] twocarlo: thank you very much so do you think I am able to use joomlia? [18:13] riffautae: pidgin [18:13] riffautae: Weird, those reqs seem higher than all the others I've seen. [18:14] luca: yes you can [18:15] gage_bw: it also shows requirements for server and lightweight installs [18:15] b0ot: are other ports ok? [18:15] ActionParsnip, [78006.348064] usb 2-5: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 8 ?

[18:17] b0ot: when you last used it ok and unplugged it, what steps did you take? or did you just pul it from the system? [18:17] ActionParsnip, It never has worked on my linux system [18:17] it works fine in windows [18:17] riffautae: My earlier research indicated that lubuntu would take up around 2GB once installed. [18:18] ActionParsnip, it actually has a live version of ubuntu on it [18:18] b0ot: are the USB ports enabled in BIOS? Have you tried the BIOS in failsafe settings [18:18] riffautae: It still seems to want 4.3 during installation. But, is that a requirement or a suggestion? [18:18] gage_bw: my server with no gui takes 1.8g === as456fgt is now known as dury [18:20] gage_bw: it might copy files over before extracting so that the operation is faster [18:20] which ppa do I need for xulrunner since it isn't in 11.10? [18:20] gage_bw: you could try installing with the alternative cd or server cd and then manually install the lxde or whatever after [18:20] !find xulrunner [18:20] File xulrunner found in bibledit-data, gxineplugin, libnspr4-dev, libnss3-dev, mozilla-devscripts, mozilla-plugin-vlc, openvas-plugins-dfsg [18:21] :S none of those sound like "mozillateam-stable" or any sort of ongoing likely to work next year type situation...?

Two is there a way to set the "home page " of unity to the page umm.. at the bottom there is 4 options I like the 2nd one with the filter results on. So I was wondering if changing anything under /etc/xdg/menu would do this? thanks you so much for your time [18:22] !help [18:22] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily).

[18:24] theadmin: yes but deb implies a specific structure, bz2 does not [18:24] ActionParsnip: I saw that... but that's about Ubuntu and not the PPAs, or is this mozillateam saying that they will no longer package xulrunner in any form? [18:24] Edisto: that is a good question I guess to follow up on it. How o make a .deb package out of something that you have installed [18:24] riffautae: True enough [18:24] to not o [18:24] bobweaver: You can use checkinstall to create them (instead of "make install") [18:24] skomorokh: not sure, I don't listen to mozilla stuff any more [18:25] skomorokh: the guys in #mozilla may be able to advise [18:25] theadmin: Sweet thanks ! [18:25] .. === sergio_ is now known as Guest19816 [18:26] theadmin: I guess after you make a .deb you would then want to use bzr to upload to you ppa ? then it is just a apt-get away ? [18:26] bobweaver: ...You don't really need a ppa there, just install the package [18:27] bobweaver: sudo dpkg -i whatever-ubuntu1-i686.deb [18:27] bobweaver: if youre going to use a ppa, its a slightly different procedure, though very well documented, and the folks in #ubuntu-packaging will be happy to walk you through it. and we would all appreciate teh package you took the time to build :D [18:28] bobweaver: what is the file name you have? [18:28] sammy: You are awesome thanks ! [18:29] ActionParsnip: I am not trying to install anything but lets look at the change from 5.10 perl to 5.12 I had to install and find all thouse packages all over again after upgraading to 11.10 would have been great if I could have just apt-get them :>) [18:30] do any of the tiling wms have transition/graphical effects ala compiz when switching between windows (frames) or desktops (tags/groups)? [18:30] scottj: no [18:31] scottj: however you can add a compositer to most of them [18:31] ActionParsnip, doesn't seem to work [18:32] riffautae: does that (xcompmgr?) just give you shadows or also allow creation/destroy effects? does it allow say sliding transition between workgroups? [18:33] does anyone know of a patch for kopete to fix the MSN login problems that occured after the server move?

[18:46] riffautae, not yet, could i just install it [18:46] wont it conflict?

I hate to put non-free (not money) software on my box but ehh I guess that that is life :>) [18:53] pyther, none, use unetbootin or the available tool in your ubuntu installation. [18:53] OerHeks: that isn't feesible for me [18:53] how long does it take for this command to finish -- dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda -- for a 320gb hard drive [18:53] and I don't have a ubuntu install [18:54] gr33n7007h: A while [18:54] TheExplorer: excelsior cant get on line with your brothers computer ? I may be able to help out . [18:54] what, over an hour ? [18:54] gr33n7007h: forever, specify a block size of at least a meg [18:54] gr33n7007h: Easily [18:54] bs=1M [18:55] will it notify me?

[18:55] gr33n7007h: according to my calculations with a desktop drive it will take 53 minutes [18:55] Does the Ubuntu dev only update through updates, or do they also update for instance the Ubuntu 10.04 for download?, If so does that include the torrent links for 10.04 [18:56] I already have Ubuntu 10.04 on CD [18:56] I wouldn't want to do this for no reason [18:56] r4y: they only update the cd on point releases like 10.04.1 [18:56] ok thanks alot [18:56] The Computer just spins on "Auto eth0" for a while before taking a poopie and saying "meeeh *beep* it" [18:56] TheExplorer: please open terminal and put this in lspci -nn && lsmod && rfkill list all ; then use paste.ubuntu.com PLEASE [18:56] OK [18:57] stand by... [18:57] That really helped me. Thank you bye [18:59] on my server apparently iptables service doesn exist [18:59] zulax: that seems unlikely, how did you check? [18:59] /etc/init.t/ip [18:59] nothing [18:59] zulax: sudo iptables -L [19:00] I have one last question [19:00] oops, that works [19:00] zulax: its part of the kernel, not a daemon [19:00] What's the difference with the alt download and desktop? [19:00] hello [19:00] does any one know how to choose another language in the lightdm login? there used to be a drop down menu (up to 11.04) and there is still one if I change to lxdm... [19:00] thanks riffautae [19:00] girish: sup?? [19:00] iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 8080 -j ACCEPT [19:00] r4y: alt uses a cli to install and by default will install very little [19:00] has anyone here used CVS? (probably off-topic) [19:00] zulax: 'which iptables' [19:00] r4y: alt is text based [19:00] doesnt that look right ? iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 8080 -j ACCEPT [19:00] i tried with -A also [19:00] doesnt work [19:01] zulax: looks right, but you will have to make sure it ends up before the deny all that is usually the last entry in the INPUT [19:01] r4y: the alt download will have a textual instalation process... not graphic... that uses less memory [19:01] Woe, OK, thank you, I am glad I didn't pick that one [19:01] zulax: i assume that is why -A didnt work [19:01] riffautae, is there an actual iptables file? [19:01] where i can manually edit stuff [19:01] r4y: you could also try minor tweaks to adjust to your needs a little easier [19:02] Like if I don't want empathy and Evolution? [19:02] how can I autohide upper aplet of the Desktop on Ubuntu 11.10 ? [19:02] zulax: sorta, i think there is a script someplace that loads or unloads iptables on if up and down, you'll have to look it up [19:02] ok, I did what it says but I can't connect to the internet, I have two wireless wlan0 which is connected to thei nternet and wlan1 which is not, so I created a new adhoc connection with no password and selected in method shared connection, but my iphone is not connecting to the internet I mean, my laptop does and I see the wifi ap in the iphone, but does not connect, any idea? === zz_M4rc3l is now known as M4rc3l === n-iCe_ is now known as n-iCe [19:03] ok, I did what it says but I can't connect to the internet, I have two wireless wlan0 which is connected to thei nternet and wlan1 which is not, so I created a new adhoc connection with no password and selected in method shared connection, but my iphone is not connecting to the internet I mean, my laptop does and I see the wifi ap in the iphone, but does not connect, any idea?

[20:00] JosephHarretha, Duh! [20:01] apwbdjp, You can write programs to not use the library... BUT, they have to use another system of notification.

[20:05] !atemyram | moonunitzappa [20:05] moonunitzappa: If you are wondering why some tools report your system has very little free memory, have a look at http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ | A short primer on Linux memory management can be found here: http://sourcefrog.net/weblog/software/linux-kernel/free-mem.html [20:05] ty [20:05] but my pc seems to be running sluggishly aswell? [20:05] moonunitzappa, Yes, very normal, just consider it almost-free space [20:06] exit [20:06] riffautae, Yup, I though they were talking about inhibiting a library haha. [20:06] Why are the floodbots so active today? [20:07] They seem to be switching modes a lot... :P [20:07] moonunitzappa, BTW, I always change the color for the "cache", in the ressource manager to something darker ^^ [20:07] apwbdjp, well... iv booted to the grub cd and entered ubuntu. iv followed the steps on this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1851164 using the sdb device, wich now is on the new drive, and pointed bios to boot from this disk now on. after rebooting i went to the same error didnt entered ubuntu, booted up via cd again and again update-grub, the systems showed fine, but yet still i get grub error, no such ... [20:07] ActionParsnip : I can't understand . I'm Beginner . now what ?? waht am i doing ??? [20:07] i only have 246 free ram, and 3714 used. and im only running tranmisson firefox and xchat [20:07] !atemyram | moonunitzappa [20:07] moonunitzappa: If you are wondering why some tools report your system has very little free memory, have a look at http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ | A short primer on Linux memory management can be found here: http://sourcefrog.net/weblog/software/linux-kernel/free-mem.html [20:07] but 3900 free swap [20:07] is t hat normal? [20:08] KB-UB405-A DVB USB stick can someone help me out with this?? [20:08] apwbdjp: Hi. I'm back. And nope.. xinit didn't work.. unfortunately. :( [20:08] guerrilha: Boot into your installed Ubuntu system and run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc". [20:08] thats from free -m [20:08] OliveGreen, What's the error message? [20:08] moonunitzappa, Ram being used it a good thing, it makes your PC faster actually. The less swap being used, the better. [20:08] guerrilha, I read you, just hold on a second [20:08] apwbdjp: None. [20:08] o/ [20:08] JosephHarretha, but my pc keeeps locking up on me [20:08] could it not be a ram problem? [20:09] OliveGreen, You do sudo xinit, and the shell comes back to prompt? [20:09] moonunitzappa: if most of you ram is cache its prolly not an out of mem situation, linux will prioritise your apps over cache [20:09] I am trying to hel these people [20:09] moonunitzappa, That could be another issues, thats most likley locking up when it commits things to swap. So, try running the "htop" command to see whats taking up your memory. [20:09] apwbdjp: No error messages. Unless I try to start again which would say that it's already running.

[20:10] !firewire [20:10] moonunitzappa, It has a simple enough interface, The top few listings are using the most memory and stuff like that, It should give you an idea of whats going on. if htop dosent work, try just "top" [20:10] moonunitzappa: have you tested the RAM with memtest in the grub menu? [20:10] Younder: It doesn't show me any GUI of any kind so what's the point? [20:11] ActionParsnip, Lets rule out the OS before you assume hardware :P [20:11] OliveGreen, It doesn't? [20:11] <`juice> join my channel #irc2net :) thanx [amsg sorry] [20:11] Younder: Nope. [20:11] OliveGreen: can you pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? [20:11] hm [20:12] OliveGreen, hmmm oh fu... [20:12] JosephHarretha: well the OS and apps run in RAM so bad RAM will directly affect the OS. [20:12] apwbdjp: I think I did.. Nothing happened.. [20:12] OliveGreen, did you see if the display was up on Ctrl+Alt+F8 and F9? [20:12] riffautae: I wish that was an option.. :( [20:12] You mean there was only black, on F8 and F9? Even AFTER you threw xinit? [20:12] OliveGreen: install pastebinit lets you pastebin from the command line [20:13] OliveGreen: in the repo [20:13] hm [20:13] moonunitzappa, Oh, and to see if this is a hardware issue,... Do you have any idea if this happends under windows or any other OS? [20:13] moonunitzappa: can you pastebin your dmesg output? might be some hints in there [20:13] any file i can run on a live cd that can go in and read product key of a windows 7 machine ? >> this current pc may be changed back to windows <> [20:14] hello guys anyone here using php5.3 with mariadb? [20:14] well OliveGreen I'm stumped again... [20:14] I installed Windows and it crashed my bootloader, now I cannot boot Ubuntu any more. How can I restore it? [20:14] ilearnz: there is software that can do that but recall any of it [20:14] Jordan_U, that did the trick. thanks! thanks apwbdjp for the attention. you all rock [20:14] ilearnz: * i cant [20:14] guerrilha: You're welcome. [20:14] fgrqrr [20:14] uh [20:14] systemclient, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [20:14] hey guys [20:15] i'm a new ubutu user [20:15] apwbdjp: ty, that looks good [20:15] riffautae, Younder, apwbdjp: Well, It's alright. I'm not gonna loose much if I just reinstall the whole system. I'm just too lazy to do it, that's all. :-) [20:15] Cy: welcome abort [20:15] Cy: aboard :) [20:15] i just installed it on my old dell inspiron [20:15] apwbdjp, can you help OliveGreen ? [20:15] 512 mb ram computer [20:15] systemclient: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#ChRoot [20:15] the system is running hellllla slow [20:16] !lowmem | Cy [20:16] Cy: For installing on low memory systems, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements. [20:16] wow [20:16] nice [20:16] thanks [20:16] OliveGreen, Well.. just wished there was a quicker way. Any idea of what you were doing right before the crash? [20:16] riffautae, Younder, apwbdjp: It's probably my fault because I prefer gnome-shell over unity.. :\ [20:16] apwbdjp: can I restore 11.10 bootloader with an 11.04 CD? [20:16] OliveGreen, I use gnome shell, too [20:16] OliveGreen, yeah that would do it [20:16] systemclient: Yes. [20:17] Cy: install lxde or xfce4, log off then choose the new session. It will be a lot nippier :-) [20:17] Jordan_U: thank you, that is awesome news [20:17] systemclient: yes, both use grub2 [20:17] those are names og GUIs amirite? [20:17] apwbdjp: I Installed a couple gnome-shell extentions, browsing the web, a couple more ordinary things. [20:18] systemclient: You're welcome. [20:18] Guys, if i am running Gnome 3 shell on Ubuntu 11.10 can I completely remove Unity & Compiz from the software panel? [20:18] sudo apt-get install xfce4 <-- will that work? [20:18] Cy, if you have time for the LowMemorySystems tutorial, and a firewire connexion, you can do that. It's what I'm using on my netbook, boots up in under a minut, and runs like a charm [20:18] so theres no support for kworld tv decoder in ubuntu?? [20:18] bhjk [20:18] Jordan_U: (and people say linux does not work … ;-)) [20:18] Neldogz: Yes. [20:18] nui [20:18] Neldogz, Yup. sudo apt-get remove unity [20:18] awesome [20:18] ji [20:18] Cy: yes :-) [20:18] i'll read that tuts then [20:18] Thank you guys! [20:18] thanks for the help [20:18] nklj [20:18] ubuntu: Please stop. [20:18] apwbdjp: then all of a sudden, gnome shell crashed, and I made reboot.. Then it never allowed me in again. [20:18] sry [20:18] Jordan_U: Can i also remove compiz? [20:19] Neldogz: Yes. [20:19] absolutely not [20:19] OliveGreen, could be the extentions, reinstalling will give you less headache, I believe [20:19] great thanks! [20:19] Neldogz: are you low on space? [20:19] apwbdjp: Yup. It seems gnome-shell isn't very stable yet, right? [20:20] ActionParsnip: i find unity to be a bit slow on my system. The gnome shell runs really well and stable [20:20] any1 know the exact size of ubuntu 11.10 in MB/s ? [20:20] apwbdjp, it's what I'm using, never let me down (never installed any extention for it, though) [20:20] Younder: this is the final warning, please stop being unhelpul, or you will be prohibited from "helping" [20:20] OliveGreen, I meant (geeks, talking to myself..) [20:20] I don't agree with any of this! nothing! [20:20] Neldogz: sure but gnome shell replaces unity, so its not running... [20:21] Younder, are you okkay buddy? [20:22] Anyway, OliveGreen: I'm using LXDE on my netbook, and Gnome (as Ubuntu Classic, on Natty) on the desktop, for long time, always been fine [20:23] apwbdjp: I just replaced Banshee with Rhythmbox, then install an extention which would allow me to control it through the sound menu. [20:23] LXDE rocks :-) [20:23] oliveGreen [20:23] can u help me do that with Vlc ? [20:23] i am using Xfce on my netbok, rox [20:23] OliveGreen, I don't think Rythmbox needed an extention to be able to do that.. [20:23] ActionParsnip : It doesn't work :9 [20:24] << Looking for guide to change the sound menu option to VLC media player [20:24] apwbdjp: Really? It doesn't? [20:24] ActionParsnip : It doesn't work :( [20:24] nicola2011: did you try empathy too? [20:24] ilearnz: you mean VLC as a jukebox? [20:24] OliveGreen, I've done the change too, a few months ago, I don't remember installing anything for that [20:24] how can I install gcc-4.3 on ubuntu 11.10 ? [20:24] apwdjp, no my father just died today. I am definitely not ok [20:24] ActionParsnip : yes . but it doesn't work too [20:24] vbajpai: the regular gcc package is not what you want? [20:24] Megnmm [20:24] !info gcc [20:24] gcc (source: gcc-defaults (1.107ubuntu5)): GNU C compiler. In component main, is optional. Version 4:4.6.1-2ubuntu5 (oneiric), package size 4 kB, installed size 64 kB [20:25] Ubunto Oneiec [20:25] typo [20:25] vbajpai: you could do a "apt-cache search gcc" and see whether it has 43 [20:25] systemclient: I don't see it in the repository, the oldest one is 4.4 [20:25] systemclient: okay, let me check again [20:25] vbajpai: if you can find a deb you could install it and pin the version. Could get messy. [20:25] vbajpai: well, maybe there is no old version of it [20:25] so i issued the sudo apt-get remove unity however within Ubuntu Software Center i still see Unity 2D, Unity 2D places, Unity 2d launcher and Unity 2d panel [20:26] can i just remove all of these also? [20:26] vbajpai: ActionParsnip backporting is a pain indeed [20:26] Neldogz: you can, but they should not hurt either [20:26] apwbdjp: Well, if it was an extentions problem, then I believe the folks at Gnome have a serious issue to deal with. Untrusted, unstable extentions can do some huge mess (if that was the case).. [20:26] systemclient: I read online that people get broken dependencies trying to install gcc-4.3 from deb [20:26] nicola2011: are there any bugs reported? [20:26] Why every time after boot a need to "sudo ifup eth0"? [20:26] thank you systemclient [20:27] vbajpai: yes, as ActionParsnip pointed out, it is messy [20:27] Hello? Can I get Ubuntu help here? [20:27] OliveGreen, Maybe.. anyway, it shouldn't make X and gdm unable to run at all.. Weird. [20:27] Guest1: add it in /etc/rc.local above the exit 0 line and it will run each boot. [20:27] would it make sense to put the swap onto an SSD as opposed to a HDD [20:27] guest1: no "auto eth0" in /etc/network/interfaces? [20:27] Guest34945: if you ask a question, you will ;-) [20:28] I'll try to change my name, to make it easier. :P [20:28] systemclient, it will give faster swap, but very little lifetime for the SSD. [20:28] apwbdjp: I agree. It doesn't make sense at all. :( [20:28] ActionParsnip: I guess, but why? I was offline for 3 monthes. May be i deleted smth. === Guest34945 is now known as LoganKrane [20:28] hi everybody [20:28] apwbdjp: that is what I fear, so I will just leave that to the HDD === james is now known as Guest33912 [20:29] running 10.10 My Firefox is still version 3. Shouldn't it of been updated by now?? [20:29] what? [20:29] uhmm my name was change [20:29] systemclient: it will wear the ssd quicker. Put it on a platter based drive as well as /var and put your /home there too. [20:29] Guest33912: was it gues before? [20:29] llutz: No. Only "iface eth0 inet dhcp" [20:29] ActionParsnip: I have my home on my HDD [20:30] james [20:30] ActionParsnip: good call on var, I did not think about that … [20:30] !ff8 | bytesaber_work [20:30] llutz: This is the key? [20:30] guest1: there you have the reason [20:30] apwbdjp: If only I could at least know what is really causing this issue.. :S [20:30] anyone knows any program similar to docky which work nice on Ubuntu 11.10? [20:30] !ff7 [20:30] Okay, so I am trying to install Ubuntu on a HP dv4-1225dx. This is my first time trying it. I have it on a usb and the installation prompt comes up but when I hit "Run ubuntu from this usb" it simply makes a small dinging sound and restarts the countdown. [20:30] !ff8 [20:30] !ff7 [20:30] guest1: just add that line above the iface eth0... [20:31] LoganKrane: did you enable USB boot in bios? [20:31] bytesaber_work: there is the firefox stable ppa which should give firefox 8 or " [20:31] 7 [20:31] I did, otherwise it wouldn't show up. [20:31] llutz: (hard to tab yor name) You're a good adviser. Thanks. [20:31] ppa? [20:31] is there someplace I can go to see what version my installed software will be updated to when doing a do-release-upgrade ? [20:31] anyone knows any program similar to docky which work nice on Ubuntu 11.10? [20:31] milen8204, docky should work, check that dock x something thought [20:31] !ff6 | bytesaber_work [20:31] bytesaber_work: Firefox 6 has been released as a security update for 11.04. For 10.04 and 10.10, you can use the unofficial and unsupported PPA at https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-stable [20:32] LoganKrane: did you md5 test the ISO you downloaded? [20:32] is there a ppa for mod_mp4_streaming, or how should i go about that? [20:32] ActionParsnip: anything else that should not be on the SSD (other than /var and /home)? [20:32] No, how do I do that? [20:32] LoganKrane: md5sum filename [20:33] systemclient, /tmp, if you burn CDs regularly, and stuffs, I guess [20:33] milen8204: sure you can use a dock if you wish [20:33] milen8204: cairo docks should work , i haven't tried though [20:33] apwbdjp: that makes sense as well … [20:33] Well, I got it from the ubuntu website, it's the 11.10 [20:33] brontosaurusrex, i didnt understand you , what should I do to turn on all docky settings and to be transperant on the windows [20:33] Why I can't "nick nick_new" there? [20:33] ActionParsnip, jtr__ thanks [20:33] guest1: did you prepend it with a slash? [20:34] guest1 /nick newnick [20:34] guest1: /nick newlick [20:34] milen8204: thanks :) [20:34] !ping [20:34] pong! [20:34] another contentless ping... sigh... [20:34] systemclient: swap and browser cache can be put in tempfs to speed things up as well as remove the need to clear web cache [20:34] milen8204, the correct acceleration layer must be working for docky, like compiz [20:34] "Slash" doesn't help. smth with pidgin %) [20:34] I'm trying to perform an unattended install using a preseed file. I need a software RAID 1 between two drives, split into five partitions for /, /usr, /home, etc. Everything goes smoothly until partway into the partitioning. When I drop to the second terminal, I get this all throughout the syslog: "can't open /var/lib/partman/outfifo: no such file" [20:35] ActionParsnip, swap into tempfs? Wouldn't that be looping ram back? [20:35] And where do I input that md5sum ? [20:35] brontosaurusrex, doesn`t work for me :( [20:35] systemclient: basically stuff that changes a lot === Hiz is now known as Guest48645 [20:35] LoganKrane: you check it against the one that was shown on the webpage [20:35] apwbdjp: browser cache in tempfs [20:35] milen8204, dunno then, i make it work in vbox, so .... http://brontosaurusrex.69.mu/2011/10/ubuntu-11-10-is-out/ [20:35] ActionParsnip: well, I am not too savy what changes what often [20:35] ActionParsnip: I mean the SSD gives aptitude with /var/apt/lists a real boost [20:35] ActionParsnip, I mean, swap is from ram, and tmpfs is ramdisk [20:35] I did, it is that one./ [20:36] ActionParsnip, Oh, it's just that you said swap and browser cache, I though you meant put swap into tmpfs [20:36] What the main idea ubuntu is living with now? [20:36] brontosaurusrex, ok thanks I will see what can do [20:36] guest1: copy OS X and be user friendly, become #1 OS [20:37] guest1: be a Linux Distro which can be operated by "normal" people [20:37] systemclient: sorry but Tango Icons -lt OS X icons [20:37] systemclient: sure but how much of a hurry can you be to get updates? [20:37] ActionParsnip: it is just awesome to see aptitude fly away :-) [20:37] ActionParsnip: if I do not use the SSD at all, it will not wear off, but it will not do any good [20:37] A little more info on the comp, it was running Vista until I tried to upgrade it to win 7 when it first came out. It would not install and went into this loop of turning on, attempting to update, rebooting, etc, etc. [20:38] systemclient: hm without videocard i can't look at new ubuntu for the second release [20:38] guest1: do you run headless? [20:38] guest1: or just with small graphics card [20:38] systemclient: mmmm, debian from console [20:38] systemclient: wears the drive though for something that can be put elsewhere and make the drive last longer. Your call dude [20:38] systemclient: 32 m [20:39] ActionParsnip: putting /var on the HDD sounds so grown up ;-) [20:39] brb guys [20:39] Also, being the first time I did that, I did not set up a system restore. [20:39] guest1: what is 32 m? [20:39] So that is why I'm trying to install Ubuntu. [20:39] LoganKrane: does it boot with a live CD? [20:39] I think he means a 32MiB video card [20:39] hi [20:39] I don't have any CDs with Ubuntu on it, just the usb. [20:39] sskalnik: oh, I had that in my iBook G4, and it works [20:39] how do I play a sound in Linux ? (via command line) [20:39] systemclient: nvidia Ti on a friend's computer -- it doesn't fit ubuntu [20:40] ubuntu need to be lightweihter [20:40] Всем привет. Есть люди, которым не нравится новый default 2D интерфейс Ubuntu? [20:40] mathi: with mplayer¿ [20:40] guest1: isn't that super old?

[20:45] xangua: ha [20:46] Or somewhere I can get more help?... [20:46] LoganKrane: what's up? [20:48] Well, as I said before, I am trying to install Ubuntu on a laptop. It won't install from the usb for some reason. When I press enter on "Run Ubuntu from this usb" , it beeps twice, wipes the options and brings them back up. [20:48] LoganKrane: that means that it boots the bootloader again [20:48] i was here earlier with asking how to disable notifications popup and was told that it was impossible (lol), so just that you know yes it can be done [20:48] LoganKrane: tried a cd¿ what ubuntu version¿ [20:48] 11.10 [20:48] xangua: he has no CD [20:48] And I don't have a cd. [20:49] what is up with that bot? [20:49] LoganKrane, why's that? Can't burn one, or no CD drive? [20:49] Can't burn one at the moment. [20:49] I am burned at the moment [20:50] But why would a CD make a difference over a usb? [20:50] krasnozer: did you stop the notify-osd process? [20:50] LoganKrane: what netbook? [20:50] krasnozer: as the fix? [20:50] But I will be back [20:50] It is a HP dv4-1225dx notebook. [20:51] I love you all [20:51] Younder: stop being offtopic [20:51] Hi all, there is a program I used to use; ubuntuupdates.org says Latest version: *DELETED* - is there any general way of finding out why it was deleted, or what has replaced it (if anything)? [20:51] Some machines won't boot from USB, ergo a CD is a safer bet. [20:51] riffautae: i unchecked the "notification daemon" in the startup options, maybe it's the same thing [20:51] LoganKrane, USBs aren't as reliable as CD [20:51] krasnozer: sounds like it is :) [20:51] Hello. Can anybody please help me with LO-impress? I have in one slide many essects and have 1 effect(moving) that dont work. How I can solve this ? [20:51] LoganKrane: same reason some BIOS only like PS/2 keyboards === jlebar_ is now known as jlebar|irccloud [20:52] go8765: switch off the effect? [20:52] Hmm, okay. I'll go grab some I guess. Any certain CDs you guys would recommend? (again, very new at this) [20:52] LoganKrane: minimalCD? [20:53] xangua, what player do I need to play WAV files ? [20:53] mathi: vlc¿ [20:53] mathi: ubuntu-restricted-addons [20:53] guest1: Not sure what that is, lol. [20:53] guest1 what is this ? [20:53] LoganKrane: double check BIOS settings, check disc for defects? [20:53] guest1, the same effect in this slide good work 3 times/ but in 4 - they stopped.... and I need it. [20:53] mathi: codecs [20:53] LoganKrane, if you mean the disks, any empty CD would work fine (even though a DVD would be faster), if you mean the image, just get the classic ISO file from the Ubuntu website [20:53] LoganKrane: regular ubuntu 11.10 is what I'duse [20:54] go8765: ask on runtu - the know the decision ;) [20:54] is it normal for a partition resize revert to take over half an hour? [20:54] LoganKrane: any old CD should work. Sony and Memorex and Verbatim are relatively nice, but in this case just about anything is fine. [20:54] hi [20:55] guest1, sorry... what you mean? (I dont fully understand...) [20:55] systemclient: if it has to move a lot of data around, yes [20:55] Alright, how do I write it to install right off of the CD? [20:55] go8765: ne yuzat' effect [20:55] Requesting some assistance with installing Ubuntu on Mac, thanks. PM please [20:55] LoganKrane, just burn it; it's good out of the box [20:55] guest1, andrex ?

Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [20:55] LoganKrane, just boot from the CD, it'll give you a clear installer, you can't get lost [20:55] Yeah, sorry. Forgot there are instructions online. [20:56] go8765: Chilentanno? [20:56] sskalnik: but it was only 1:30 into the resize … so I figured that it would take around the same time to revert this … [20:56] LoganKrane: boot from livecd , open brasero, burn, reboot and install [20:56] Guys I gotta go for now! See you later! [20:56] Keep rockin' people, you're awesome! === davro is now known as chillierdavro [20:56] Does anyone know a terminal command to set the screen brightness to full (or know how to fix the screen being on lowest brightness when first booted up)? [20:57] can anybody help me with LO-impress please? [20:57] go8765, you could try #libreoffice [20:58] captainjamie: xset? [20:58] is there really no other way to make desktop shortcuts than to use gnome-panel and then gnome-desktop-item-edit? [20:58] guest1 : what do I put in tab sorry? [20:58] sorry in 11.10 [20:58] captainjamie: man xset [20:58] guest1 :fair point [20:59] geoffmcc: make textfiles -- learn on gnome docs site [20:59] guest1: not familiar, will look into, thanks [21:00] Im trying to install ubuntu on a mac from a cd. I created a partition to install it on to. In the installer it says I should make a new partition for swap memory. Question 1: How large should it be? Question 2: When I make another partition for the swap memory, how do I assign it as being for swap? Many thanks [21:00] hello [21:00] zykotick9, thanks, I try, but no-one answer there :( so I asked here... [21:00] Gunzo: swap = 2*RAM [21:00] i want to stop the cdrom from getting automounted, how can i find its UUID? [21:00] how can I install my tv-card on ubuntu 10.10? [21:00] xangua, I installed VLC, now I do I play the WAV file ? [21:00] mathi: vlc asdf.wav [21:00] Gunzo: you tell it in the installer to use it as swap === M4rc3l is now known as zz_M4rc3l [21:01] blawiz: from a shell, you could ls -la /dev/disks/by-uuid/ [21:01] thank you === agliodbs_ is now known as agliodbs [21:02] jaybee_, looks like only hdd's are listed there [21:02] I have problem restart and shutting down computer after i upgraded to 11.10, both action hangs at the ubuntu shutdown splash. [21:02] do CDs have uuids? [21:02] thanks bro [21:03] jaybee_, i doubt it [21:03] I just tried a CD, and it didn't have a UUID [21:03] jaybee_, i have disabled one cdrom using UUID, so yes. (actually its a virtual cdrom on a external hdd) === nick_ is now known as dmesger [21:04] hi, can someone tell me how can I install my tv-card on ubuntu 10.10? [21:04] captainjamie: xrandr --help [21:04] hello i cant get a umts dongle working dont know what to do can anyone please help me out [21:04] it is a Huawei E1780 [21:05] captainjamie: xrandr --brightness [21:05] I just tried a CD, and it didn't have a UUID [21:05] Perhaps UUIDs are optional for CDs, depending on the filesystem? [21:06] jaybee_, hmm.. dont know.. but how else can you assure that a particular cdrom is mounted at a particular dir? [21:06] jaybee_: No. [21:06] jaybee_: cd's are always iso9660 or something, which only has labels [21:06] blawiz: mount [21:07] UUIDs are for the identification of a filesystem, regardless of the filesystem type. [21:07] guest1 but you can know which cdrom is which, if its external [21:07] blawiz: /media/sr0 or smth [21:08] blawiz: lspci [21:08] blawiz: lsusb -t [21:08] jaybee_, just tested here no a CD, it doesn't have a UUID [21:08] So cannot mount a CD? [21:08] hello everyone :> i'm experiencing choppy sound now and again in all sorts of applications in the 64 bit 11.10 (minecraft/java 7, dosbox, a few others), and inevitably when the sound is choppy i'm getting this error message in the console: ALSA lib pcm.c:7316:(snd_pcm_recover) underrun occurred ...has anyone else seen this, or know what might be going on? [21:08] a cd or cd drive should have uuid? [21:09] guest1, no need for a UUID to mount a device [21:09] guest1: you cannot specify a cd by UUID [21:09] brontosaurusrex: no. [21:09] guest1, so of course you can mount a CD [21:09] You can refer to it as /dev/sr0 (for example) [21:09] brontosaurusrex: uuid is not for cd [21:09] or as /dev/disks/by-label/(disk label) === chillierdavro is now known as SageMan [21:10] jaybee_, actually you could use "sudo mount LABEL=foo ..." if the CD has a label [21:11] but the question is not "mounting", it's "not mounting" - stopping the automounter. [21:11] jaybee_: /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0 [21:11] Guest66465: well from the sound of it, it cant get data out to your sound card fast enough, not sure why that would be though [21:12] jaybee_: sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /mnt [21:12] hello once again it seems an update has killed my headphone jack. Its an Intel HDMI system [21:13] riffautae: it's certainly a strange one...didn't happen in 11.04 either :< now as an experiment i tried switching out libsdl1.2-debian-alsa (which is the default) for the -pulseaudio one instead, since most of the things i was trying to use worked with sdl, and that seems to have fixed it...so far [21:13] Is there a way to end a users session via terminal? [21:14] Has anyone gotten bcm5974 driver to work on 11.10? [21:14] qmanjr5: pkill gdm [21:14] jaybee_, the automounting is handled by the file manager (nautilus), not sure whether there is a way to prevent i [21:14] t [21:14] hi, can someone tell me how can I install my tv-card on ubuntu 10.10? [21:14] (I didn't ask the initial question) [21:14] guest1: Hilarious. [21:14] glebihan: man fstab [21:14] Is there a way to end a users session via terminal? [21:15] guest1, nothing to do with fstab [21:15] qmanjr5: in english? [21:15] Hey, I've got a bug to report against the ubuntu 11.04 installer. Where on earth do I go to do that? [21:15] guest1, if you don't know what user session means, don't bother answering my question. [21:15] Or even responding to it. [21:16] /dev/shm is automounted here, but not in fstab, how can I prevent it from beeing mounted? [21:16] !bug | LinuxMercedes [21:16] LinuxMercedes: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs.

[21:17] genii-around: It's a bug against the installer...which package is that? [21:17] any special reason why the ubuntu 64 bit version is not the recommended one? [21:17] LinuxMercedes: ubiquity is the installer name [21:17] hmm on ubuntu /etc/init.d/mysqld I have set basedir=/usr/local/mysql but Couldn't find MySQL server (/usr/bin/mysqld_safe [21:17] gebbione: in case peopel get confused [21:18] I'm running fbpanel with aewm and fbpanel refuses to hide/unhide windows when clicking them from the taskbar, but right-clicking and selecting iconify/raise works. What's up with this behaviour? [21:18] genii-around: well duh...let me go do that now =P [21:18] Gentoo64: so i should still go for 64bit rather? [21:18] tziOm, wouldn't that break your system? /dev/shm is tmpfs. Why do you want to prevent this? i'd guess it's probably a udev rule BTW [21:18] gebbione: yeah [21:18] does the desktop edition have an SSh installer? [21:18] dont think devshm is needed [21:19] qmanjr5: kill -s SIGKILL `pgrep -u $no_this_user bash` -- is to clever to you, ain't it? [21:19] tziOm: Why do you think so? [21:20] Mysterytrain: define "ssh installer" [21:20] EvilResistance: able to install ubuntu remotely [21:21] bekks: works just fine without it mounted [21:21] how can i see what is going wrong with the network there was something like dmesg [21:21] guest1: No, I was just wondering whether or not there is a less-complex command to do it. [21:21] oi [21:21] hi [21:21] codeshah: /usr/sbin/mysqld --basedir=/usr --datadir=/var/lib/mysql --user=mysql --pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid --socket=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock --port=3306 [21:21] tudo beim [21:21] Mysterytrain: no, there's no way to install ubuntu remotely afaik. you can *upgrade* remotely, but i dont hink you can install remotely, as you actually need the installation medium at the system [21:21] Is there a way to install ubuntu on a http://amzn.to/AsusEEEPad-Transformer ? [21:21] i have run into this before, but i am trying to upgrade a netbook running lucid, and i am getting desk full errors.... the disk is not full. i cannot remember what i did the last time this happened. would anyone have a suggestion? [21:21] guest1: basedir is usr?? [21:22] qmanjr5: press on the power buTton? [21:22] oooooo [21:22] codeshah: this from my htop [21:22] jmichaelx: Maybe you are out of inodes. Check it with df -i [21:22] You're bloody hilarious, guest1 [21:22] codeshah: mysql is workin [21:22] qmanjr5: hilarios i guess is ? [21:22] jmichaelx, do you have multiple partitions? could you pastebin "df -h" [21:22] bekks: yes, that is it... thanks. now what to do abut that [21:23] hi, can someone tell me how can I install my tv-card on ubuntu 10.10? [21:23] codeshah: where to look at config ? [21:23] jmichaelx: Free up some space :) [21:23] running Ubuntu live right now [21:23] just downloaded & installed updates [21:23] zykotick9: df -h showed everything as being fine... inode usage is at 99% [21:23] it says "restart to complete updates" .... very funny === X_ is now known as FreeNET [21:23] jmichaelx: you could clear your apt-cache to free some space [21:23] I am trying to work out why I don't have a working SSH Agent type setup in xfce like I used to in gnome. "Session and Startup" tab "Application Autostart" shows that "SSH Key Agent (Gnome Keyring: SSH Agent)" should be loaded at startup, and ps shows I have "/usr/bin/ssh-agent /usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session startxfce4" running, and my env variable SSH_AGENT_PID is set to that pid ? [21:24] jmichaelx: none of the old packages will be needed once you upgrade [21:24] bekks: i dunno, t has seemed to me that the inode usage is pretty radical, considering all the things i do not have installed.. and anyways, it does not even let me remove things right now [21:24] codeshah: basedir = /usr <- in my.cnf by default on my box [21:24] jmichaelx: "it seems"? [21:24] bekks: yes, it "seems" [21:25] or actually "has seemed" [21:25] I can just ssh-add it, but with gnome it prompted for it on first use. If the best I can do is ssh-add it on startup, I can live with that [21:25] type, that would be better. [21:25] jmichaelx, i have several partitions that are over 90% full, yet the highest inode usage is only 5%. Do you have a million+ small files somewhere? [21:26] zykotick9: no, i don't [21:26] which is why i said that the inode usage seems more than a lttle radical [21:26] is the amd64 right for intel based pcs? [21:26] each time i upgrade this thing, i remoeve more apps to free up space, but the inode usage keeps climbing [21:26] gebbione, if you want 64bit then yes [21:27] zykotick9: but why is it called amd ? [21:27] any compatibility issues with intel cpus? [21:27] gebbione: They invented 64? [21:27] gebbione, because that's what AMD called their 64 bit architecture, and they where first [21:28] ok cool thanks [21:28] what was de dmesg for networks?

[22:00] blz i'm not sure, it just does not conect... ever [22:00] hmm [22:00] Um_cara_qualquer: find ~ type f -iname "*emesene*" [22:00] Um_cara_qualquer, does it give you any sort of error? [22:00] no [22:00] Um_cara_qualquer, a good start would be to run it from the terminal and pastebin the terminal output for us [22:00] if it does it's an hour later... when i already lost the hope hehe [22:01] ok [22:01] hang on [22:01] guest1: there are no such rc files you mention. Did you manage to disable the auto login? [22:01] Forage_, already told you that's not possible [22:01] Forage_: in kderc yeah, in gdm also [22:02] * kdmrc [22:02] but there must be some way for me to get the login screen, isn't there? I don't care if it's after the boot [22:03] Forage_: man -k login [22:04] I'm running fbpanel with aewm and fbpanel refuses to hide/unhide windows when clicking them from the taskbar, but right-clicking and selecting iconify/raise works. What's up with this behaviour? [22:04] hey room, has anyone been having trouble connecting via VNC connection 11.10 [22:05] Forage_, only way I can think of (and I really don't think it's going to work) is to run "killall gnome-session" in a terminal [22:05] blz, http://paste.ubuntu.com/734691/ [22:06] Um_cara_qualquer, is this the entire output? [22:06] anyone else noticed that Chrome brings Oneiric's alt-tab switcher to its knees? [22:06] blz, it doesn't go further [22:06] yes [22:06] it stays like this forever [22:06] Forage_, I'm sure I've read about ways to throw gdm manually, but I never thought to dig, you might have to google. [22:06] Um_cara_qualquer, I ask because I don't see where you issued the command [22:07] Forage_, you can log out and then choose but you will need to know the username and the password for the live cd [22:07] Um_cara_qualquer, are you on your home network? [22:07] robin0800: how can I logout without the menu item? [22:08] blz, yes [22:08] Um_cara_qualquer, I'd start by making sure that you don't have any relevant ports blocked [22:08] apwbdjp: the way I found was http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1219099 but it does not work [22:08] beyond that I'm not sure what the problem is =/ I don't see any obvious error [22:08] have you tried another client? [22:08] apwbdjp: at least not for 11.10 [22:08] Forage_, you can log out and then choose but you will need to know the username and the password for the live cd [22:08] blz, it was conecting normally few days ago [22:08] Forage_, is it okkay if you restate your original problem? I came a bit late.. [22:08] hello all how to dismiss cairo-Dock from starting whit the Ubuntu starting ? [22:08] I have a machine booted to a Ubuntu Live USB stick. How do I get to a command prompt? [22:09] Um_cara_qualquer, yeah that sounds like a firewall issue then. Check that first [22:09] blz, hmmmm [22:09] robin0800: how can I logout? The user/shutdown menu has no logout option [22:09] nosmelc, either Ctrl+Alt+T to open gnome-terminal, or Ctrl+Alt+F1 to go to the console. [22:09] apwbdjp: thanks [22:09] hey guys, if I installed a rpm with alien how do I uninstall it [22:10] Hi, is there a "mount cache" I can purge? I mounted a disk, then unmounted it, but the shortcut to remount it is stuck on my desktop... [22:10] nosmelc, from the console, don't forget to do Ctrl+Alt+F7 to get back to Display [22:10] hey, got a question about connecting two computers, via serial ports. i have them connected and working {ubuntu using minicom on one, winxp with hyperterminal on ther other). I can type between the two, but here's what iam looking for! I want to type commands into the winxpbix, and have the ubuntu box repeat back to me what ever it is i type. [22:10] blz, I'm not sure how to open firewall on linux :P [22:10] Gremuchnik: No, there is no mount cache. [22:10] apwbdjp: I'd like to either disable auto login of the livecd, or force login to unity 2d or 3d in any other way [22:10] Um_cara_qualquer, then it's not the linux firewall [22:10] Um_cara_qualquer, check your router's NAT [22:10] bekks, so what is the icon of the device which I removed still there? [22:11] I have a projector at church that is connected to a winxp box, via old school cable with db9 connectors, using the harware com port on the back of the computer. I can send specially formated plain text commands to it, example *pow=on# or *sour=hdmi# and it will power on an off, or switch sources! i am trying to write a simple VB program to send these commands at the push of a button. because [22:11] i don't have 24/7 access to the projector and computer, i am trying to simulate this with two machines connected. [22:11] Gremuchnik: I have no clue. [22:11] bekks, ok :-) same here... [22:11] Forage_, the first solution suggested on the thread you mentioned cannot work, the second one maybe but that would mean rebuilding the live cd yourself, I don't think that's what you want to do [22:11] blz, I'm not that expert yet... how do I check that? [22:11] Forage_, ctl + alt + delete [22:11] Forage_, ctl + alt + delete [22:11] Um_cara_qualquer, that will depend on your router [22:12] glebihan: indeed, rebuilding is beyond the purpose of testing [22:12] Um_cara_qualquer, if you haven't changed anything it's probably not that. Just try another client like pidgin [22:12] hmm... [22:12] have a null modem cable between the two, and using Hyperterminal on the winxpbox, and minicom on the ubuntu, i can open the com ports and type back and forth. now i am trying to get the ubuntu box to repeat back to me, what i type from the windows box, [22:12] have googled the hell out of it [22:13] robin0800, that might be a good idea, Forage_, tried it? [22:13] help? [22:13] how to remove some programe from start up menu ? (to start whit the system) [22:13] ? [22:13] robin0800: muchas gracias! Strangely enough the del button on the numpad does not work but the actual delete key does :-S [22:13] in ubuntu 11.10 [22:13] How do I give the GRUB menu a background? [22:14] apwbdjp: will try that, I'll be back in a sec if it did not work out as expected ;-) [22:14] wolfmitchell, I don't think that's possible.. === sergio_ is now known as Guest1656 [22:15] I think it is [22:15] wolfmitchell, actually I googled, and found this: http://hacktux.com/grub/background [22:15] splashimage=(hd0,4)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz or similar for grub1 [22:15] http://quadpoint.org/articles/irssisplit [22:15] there is a similar option for grub2 [22:16] blz, pidgin is working [22:16] Um_cara_qualquer, then either use that or try to figure out why your client is not. Google is your friend =) [22:16] apwbdjp, robin0800: works like a charm! cheers [22:17] Forage_, all credit goes to robin0800, I didn't think of it ^^ [22:17] apwbdjp: though I still find it weird that it's not posible to simply disable the auto login [22:18] Hey guys [22:18] apwbdjp: yeah, but just to let you know in case of any one else comes with a similar question [22:18] How do you change chat window in Irssi?? [22:18] The Ubuntu live CD hasn't exactly been designed for much more than trying, and a few repairs and stuffs, I think [22:19] Yeah [22:19] Fusionite: alt+number [22:19] Fusionite: by asking in the Irssi channel? :-S [22:19] hello [22:19] blz, i found this file https://github.com/emesene/emesene/zipball/master ... but it does not say where extract and run it... [22:19] Thanks lol [22:19] Forage__: I am new to freenode, Alot of chans here lmao [22:19] Forage__, to be able to disable auto login, you would need to be able to write some configuration files on the CD itself, which is impossible [22:19] Um_cara_qualquer, you shouldn't have to compile anything from source [22:19] maybe you're missing a dependency? [22:19] glebihan: I"m on usb ;-) [22:20] and I need to fill out a bug reort [22:20] Report * [22:20] i am running compiz and gnome toghether and whenever i boot i must manually type "gnome-panel" in the terminal. can anyone tell me how i could get gnome-panel to start automatically? [22:20] Hey, is there any point in pressing ctrl+alt+f1? [22:20] 1 [22:21] You get to text-terminal that way. I'm kinda wondering if there are reasons to try to use your computer that way [22:21] glebihan: sorry, I of the assumption that all or putting the livecd on usb, though I should have mentioned it [22:21] Can anyone help me with my choppy audio playback? (ubuntu 10.04LTS) [22:21] Forage__, well the live CD has been designed to be burnt to a CD not a USB [22:21] The idea seems pretty neat === DrM is now known as DrManhattan [22:21] glebihan: does it make it possible now in usb by any chance? ;-) [22:21] I need to do a find command with an ignore case build a list of files and pass that list to a gzcat?? hoping someone can help :-) [22:21] Forage__, I don't think so [22:22] darn [22:22] foolove: not sure what you are asking... [22:22] Anyone? Can anyone point me to a tutorial that explains the point behind text-terminals in this day of guis? [22:22] ow well, loging out first after boot is acceptable. Thanks for your help [22:22] glebihan, someone just today told me that the iso from the website is now hybrid that can be dd'ed into a USB too [22:23] apwbdjp: 11.10, yes [22:23] i have files that are case sensitive that i need to find build a list off that and then pass that list to a gzcat the flies are compressed proxy logs use gzcat with grep to grep through the list of files [22:23] I'm running fbpanel with aewm and fbpanel refuses to hide/unhide windows when clicking them from the taskbar, but right-clicking and selecting iconify/raise works. What's up with this behaviour? [22:23] i need to use find to potentially ignore case [22:23] bc gzcat does not have an ignore case [22:23] where does the optical drive mount at? [22:23] thanks for responding jrib [22:23] Jonii: terminals allow you to enter any command options you wish, allowing for greater control of specific functionality to your own personal needs sometimes. some ppl need the extra control and some don't, so it all just depends on your needs. [22:23] i can't access it from /media/(disk name) [22:24] foolove: give an example... [22:24] apwbdjp, that's true, but I don't think it changes anything about that issue [22:24] someone told me it was something like: /dev/fstab [22:24] foolove: why don't you just do gzcat FILES [22:24] ezrafree, that I understand, but there's a difference between ctrl+alt+f1 and ctrl+alt+t. [22:24] glebihan, right. [22:24] apwbdjp, glebihan: the fact that I can install other packages as well when booting the livecd on usb made me think I could change much more [22:24] Jonii: some people are more efficient using just the keyboard. [22:24] Jonii: What about administrating remote machines (Which may have no Desktop installed)? Efficience in achieving some goal? Lack of good GUI? === andref__ is now known as crash82 [22:24] bc trust me i need a way to ignore case [22:24] where does the optical drive mount at? [22:24] foolove: that's fine, so do that [22:25] i have a script that generates a HUGE command using another program [22:25] Jonii: well if X isn't set up properly you may need to use ctrl-alt-f1 to get back to the command line and fix things [22:25] sumpter: /mnt [22:25] go [22:25] ok [22:25] foolove: mbaybe I can ask this way... how are you finding the files [22:25] @guest1 theres nothing there [22:25] Forage__, you can ? [22:25] sumpter: is it mounted? [22:25] ezrafree: and that is all? I thought I could try some sort of a "Hey, I'll try to figure out how to do stuff on my computer without using GUI" [22:25] In case it would be educational or something [22:26] @guest1 how do i mount it? [22:26] Jonii: and? [22:26] glebihan: ow yeah! It's persistent, settings, documents and packages all remain available after boot [22:26] sumpter: ls /dev [22:26] Jonii: no that's just one example of why you would need ctrl-alt-f1 [22:26] I have no method yet traditionally just gzcat filename.gz | grep string1 | grep string2 | grep string3 > /searchdirectory/filename.log [22:26] Forage__, then I guess there must be a way to prevent autologin [22:26] sumpter: mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /mnt [22:26] glebihan: thought so [22:26] foolove: "man zgrep" :) [22:26] Hello all. [22:26] @guest1 now which one is the cd drive [22:26] guest1: well, I'm kinda trying to understand this linux-thing [22:27] foolove: and "zcat" [22:27] guest1: zcat isnt needed at that point. [22:27] But google only gives me seriously lacking and outdated ubuntu wiki pages and stuff tangentially related [22:27] sumpter: smth like /dev/sr0 [22:27] Jonii: automating things is another reason for using command lines. This is also true in Windows and other operation systems. [22:27] i know zgrep but i do zgrep -i pattern1 pattern2 pattern3 filename.gz > outputfile.log [22:28] foolove: ok, so what's the issue? [22:28] i get not love the thing i need to bypass with my command [22:28] htop reports half ram is used, swap is barely touched. Is that a sign I need to increase swappiness?? [22:28] I am i need of a bit of help from someone who knows how to build custom ubuntu packages. Is there anyone willing to help me? [22:28] is the case sensitivity of the filename [22:28] filename.gz [22:28] hi [22:28] i need to bypass case sensitivity of the input ifle [22:28] I have tried google, but its not helping 100% [22:28] file [22:28] @guest1 i think that worked, it said something about read only mounting [22:28] sumpter: mount -ro [22:28] zgrep -i jus tdoes ignore case on pattern [22:28] foolove: how are you generating the list of filenames... [22:29] I'm kinda asking is that if there are any neat things you could do with that, that would result in deeper understanding of ubuntu and linux in general [22:29] glebihan: and by the looks of it /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/casper-bottom/15autologin must be the part that causes the auto login. Maybe something is going wrong with updating initramfs after removing that file [22:29] foolove: the sensitivity the input filename is totally irrelevant to the command. [22:29] Re, I have a few question: How remove the trash from the dock? how to add a shorcut to show the desktop / hide all windows ? [22:29] bekks i get a file not file [22:29] Forage__, edit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf and try modifiying the autologin parameters in there [22:29] file not found [22:29] so it is case sensitive [22:29] how can i get gnome-panel to start automatically when i log in? i always have to type gnome-panel in the terminal manually [22:29] foolove, yes it is, Linux is. What are you trying to accomplish exactly? [22:29] through hash key value pairs in my code the 200 plus list i was sent the wrong filenames i do not want to go back through these [22:30] foolove: Then use the correct filename? [22:30] I'm not exactly sure what I'm asking for. I don't know enough about this linux-mindset to be able to form good questions about it just yet, but it seems most linux-oriented people are also seriously cli-oriented [22:30] that is a lot of redoing im trying to come up with a work around the code generates a long command based on variables i parse in another program in my code [22:30] ezrafree: in ~/.bashrc for example [22:30] then the end output is a long command if i can pass parameters in my command to overlook case sensitivity of the filename for the command im good to go [22:31] Jonii: it's easier to expalin cli commands over irc than it is gui clicks [22:31] Jonii: it's also easier to automate tasks with cli [22:31] ezrafree, add it to the startup application...for example ( in systeme -> app at startup) [22:31] hey guys, so rather curious, how exactly is it that ubuntu survives with the notion that there is only amd 64 bit? the only download that is 64 bit is flat out named amd, which of course uses a different set of instructions and optimizations than say an intel core i5... sooo what the heck does someone with a core i5 download to have 64 bit support on an INTEL machine === anthony is now known as Guest18600 [22:32] @guest1 its still not working [22:32] Hello, i am using 2 Servers with ubuntu 10.04 LTS. And i try to sync a folder on each of the servers. The folder has 160GB on server A, 270GB on server B. Server A is the unison server and accesses Server B via SSH. Once Unison starts the scan everything works fine. Server A finishes its scan and says " Waiting for changes from server ". Then after some time Server B hangs and is no longer responsive (neither ping or anyhting). I can' [22:32] foolove, whoa.. I guess you do have a bit of an issue here.. it's pretty tricky [22:32] Any suggestions? [22:32] mmercer: use amd64 [22:32] mmercer, there is a 32bit and a 64 bit iso in the download section [22:32] .... [22:32] sumpter: cd is usb or in rack? [22:32] hi everyone [22:32] 11.10 is giving all sort of problems when installing [22:32] @guest1 its a dvdrw drive [22:32] foolove: you can use find -iname I suppose [22:32] danely: tried rsync? [22:32] apwbdjp indeed i do :) .....I am glad you understand my issue though and at least sense some of my pain [22:32] mmercer, amd64 is fully compatible with intel proc [22:32] @guest1 built in [22:32] Basically, if there's a web resource which explains what cli is for, explains how to operate it and gives interesting ideas about how to use it, I'd be all ears [22:32] melon: and again, the 64 bit is labelled specifically *amd*, which implies that it is optimized for AMDs architecture... which is rather oxymoronic [22:33] gebbione: negative, negative. Please specify. [22:33] sumpter: pastebin "ls /dev" [22:33] danely: why not just rsync? [22:33] KageMusha: no, since unison uses the rsync protocol and i want it to work 2 ways [22:33] mmercer: is just a generic name for 64bit [22:33] mmercer, or not, it's a norm, see wikipedia [22:33] SIFTU: rsync is pretty much just one way [22:33] 11.10 is giving all sort of problems when installing, kernel panic and more ..... bekks not sure what i can specify [22:33] guest1: placing a line that says "gnome-panel" in .bashrc makes me see "Cannot register the panel shell: there is already one running." every time i start a terminal [22:33] Jonii: sudo ifdown -a && man man [22:33] so find -iname filname.gz then how would i pass gzcat to that just pipe it jrib? i need to build a list off of find [22:33] i wonder if i need to try with 11.04 instead? [22:34] danely: so you want to to sync changes on both sides? [22:34] foolove: execdir {} + [22:34] gebbione: "all sorts of problems" isnt very specific. start with the first problem you are encountering? [22:34] ezrafree, so you can kill gnome-panel and lauch another [22:34] foolove: you can use -exec or xargs [22:34] danely: then do it in 2 jobs.. or do you mean each filesystem is mirrored and changes can happen at either end? [22:34] KageMusha: Yes. but what worries me more is that not only unison crashes but the whole server. no ssh, ping or anything [22:34] i just start install and it gives me kernel panics ... and exits the install [22:34] okies :) [22:34] tnx guys [22:34] melon: is there a way to just check if it's running or not and only start it if it's not running? [22:34] mmercer: the 32bit version is labelled "i386", but it won't run in a 386 [22:34] SIFTU: i could try that. that wouldn't solve the problem that unison is able to crash an entire server though [22:34] @guest1 http://pastebin.com/6NRn7L8X [22:35] foolove: find ~/Documents/TXT -maxdepth 1 -type f -execdir basename {} + | sort [22:35] guest1: man is indiscrimating, it contains everything, not highlighting anything in particular. [22:35] Which is not what I'm looking for [22:35] foolove, know about the `command` syntax? [22:35] danely: can still be done with rsync over ssh.. but it is strange that unison crashes. [22:35] jonii: help --help ;) [22:35] ezrafree, hummm...i think yes, you can make a "ps -a | grep gnome-panel" and if it return something, gnome-panel is running [22:35] foolove: note you may have the issue that you have 'a' in your list but both 'a' and 'A' exist. What do you do then? [22:35] man im getting confused and for this I apologize I am trying to still yet figure out the full command I like the ideas [22:35] glebihan: that must be the one, too bad the possible options aren't included in the man [22:36] melon: yes but how to write that in bash for the .bashrc file? [22:36] SIFTU, KageMusha: actually i want to find out why unison and the whole server crashes. i suspect a kernel panic since no logs are written or anything. Any hints on how i can trace the crash? the log just stops at some point and starts again at reboot. also, the crashing server is off site [22:36] Forage__, I think that if you remove the value from autologin-user, it should be ok === tMH- is now known as tMH [22:36] i have a bunch of mp3 files, in subfolders, is there something to merge them together one mp3 to each subfolder without doing the merge by hand for every folder? [22:36] bekks: my machine is one of the latest i7 based systems ... any idea why the install panics and exits? suggestions on how to get it installed? [22:36] @guest1 http://pastebin.com/6NRn7L8X [22:37] bekks: i am using unetbootin [22:37] glebihan: there's also autologin-user-timeout and autologin-session [22:37] danely: do you use a vanilla kernel or homemade? [22:37] bsmith093: there is unionFS === tMH is now known as tMH1234 === tMH1234 is now known as tMH [22:37] So there's nothing? [22:37] bsmith093: probably ffmpeg [22:37] Forage__, afaik those won't be used if autologin-user is not set [22:37] glebihan: especially autologin-session=lightdm-autologin [22:37] could i just do something like: if [ -x "ps -a | grep gnome-panel" == "" ] gnome-panel; fi [22:37] KageMusha: vanilla: 2.6.32-35-server #78-Ubuntu SMP Tue Oct 11 [22:37] danely: and when you use rsync do you use the syntax: rsync -avz -e ssh remoteuser@remotehost:/remote/dir /this/dir/ [22:37] ezrafree, i don't know, sorry, you have to learn a bit of bash (if / endif ) and a command to analyse the output (or you can fix your problemen in a more beautiful way ^^) [22:37] glebihan: ah, ok [22:37] gebbione: What is the first error you are expecting? [22:38] KageMusha: right now i use unison with a profile. [22:38] I'm running ddrescue from a live CD and I want to install a deb package onto it. However, it says there is no space left on my device. Is there anyway to free up space on the live session? [22:38] KageMusha: i haven't tried rsync yet, since that wasn't the way i was going for in the first place [22:39] how do I report a bug that occurs during boot? [22:39] danely: ok, I haven't worked with unison that much, use rsync for all that type of stuff. [22:39] pac1: verbose/text boot then you can see the error [22:39] what do you mean? [22:40] danely: do you happen to know how to build custom ubuntu packages? =P [22:40] I mounted a file share from a Windows machine, but I'm only getting read-only access to it. Why is that?

In other words, I would like to automatically login to Gnome Classic when I turn on my computer. Can this be done relatively easily? [22:43] murpl: there is no gnome2 on oneiric [22:43] I'm running fbpanel with aewm and fbpanel refuses to hide/unhide windows when clicking them from the taskbar, but right-clicking and selecting iconify/raise works. What's up with this behaviour? [22:43] guest1: I used sudo. Isn't that the same? [22:43] bekks: this is the screenshot http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15482613/IMG_0784.JPG ... you cant really read it but essentially the install exits with a generic fault error [22:43] nosmelc: use ntfs-3g command [22:43] KageMusha: i think the best i can help you with is this link: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/index.en.html [22:43] gebbione: So Gnome 3 I suppose? [22:43] KageMusha: but i'm pretty sure you know that already ;) [22:43] xangua: So Gnome 3 I suppose? [22:44] murpl: i guess i just used the GUI installer [22:44] murpl: set gnome fallback as default on the login screen [22:44] xangua: how do I do that? [22:44] gebbione: Try using the "nosmp" kernel option for booting the install cd. [22:44] is there an ubuntu dev channel? [22:44] KageMusha: the last time i've done that is 2+ years ago. i don't really remember anything, sorry [22:44] murpl: go to the login screen first, and then set gnome fallback mode as default [22:44] bekks i ll try thanks ... [22:45] danely: yes, have been looking at a lot of those pages, problem is that what I want to do seems to be too simple to be included. [22:45] KageMusha: try this http://www.webupd8.org/2010/01/how-to-create-deb-package-ubuntu-debian.html [22:45] guest1: will I be able to use ntfs-3g booting from a USB stick? [22:45] nosmelc: also, you should have in fstab something like these options : username=USERNAME,pass=PASSWORD,rw,noauto,users [22:46] xangua: That sounds almost too easy. I can't remember seeing an option to make anything the default, but I'll give it a try. If I don't get back into the channel in 5 minutes you solved my problem and I'm very thankful! [22:46] danely: basically I have a standard firewall script. and want to install some standard packages since I install a alot of servers. like lsof, ntpdate and so on. I get the installations but the firewall script doesnt go anywere. [22:46] after that, you should be able to mount as a regular user (no sudo) and be able to write it (assuming permissions are ok on the windows side of course) [22:47] flopex: thx, I'll check it out. [22:47] glebihan: that's it!

[22:49] xangua: In the login screen there is no option to set the default, at least none that I can see. [22:49] glebihan: thanks again for helping. Off to continue testing now [22:49] sumpter: eject -t [22:49] Forage_, you're welcome. Have fun ! [22:50] @guest1 it was my mistake. I was trying to install a game, and i thought i needed to have the correct dir but i just needed an additional file [22:50] Jonii: nothing about what?

[22:51] mmmm sorry then murpl :/ [22:51] murpl: install this sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback [22:51] @guest1 thanks that worked [22:51] flopex: I know how to click on the gear and select GNOME Classic, my question is how can I avoid having to logout, click the gear, select GNOME Classic and login again.

[22:52] @guest1 idk it works now though [22:52] murpl: by automaticaly you mean to boot and enter inmediatly without enter a password¿¿ [22:52] xangua: Yes, I hit the power button and after about 30 seconds, the computer is ready for action. [22:53] can u read me? :S [22:53] murpl: in http://www.webupd8.org/2011/10/things-to-tweak-after-installing-ubuntu.html says that for gnome shell automatic login: [22:53] sudo /usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm-set-defaults -s gnome-shell [22:53] try to replace "gnome-shell" with: "gnome-session-fallback" [22:53] xangua: I don't need any security, I don't need to have to type a password every time I turn on the computer. I really appreciate this feature, but the problem now is that I actually have to logout and login again to be able to change to GNOME Classic. [22:54] xangua: Thanks a lot, I believe I have actually read that article already, but I'll give it another look. === KIAaze is now known as KIAaze_away === KIAaze_away is now known as KIAaze [22:54] Hi all [22:54] How can I install my Genius tvgo a11mce on ubuntu 10.10?

I want to store the firmware in the packge but how to call for the firmware to be moved to /lib/firmware in the script if the .fw files are in the .deb package ? [23:00] arsenic: nothing is coming up atm that I can see. for the TVGo A12, they have OS Support as all Windows crap. I might email them and see if they have support for the card, and if not, if and when they expect to put out some drivers? [23:01] gebbione: is it overclocked?

[23:02] yea i just got a new hardisk replaced [23:02] Hey all, [23:02] arsenic: so your system def sees it. but my guess is that it doesn't know what to do with it? im not sure i def dont have experience with this. [23:02] memory should not be a problem [23:02] anyone know how to use the Xubuntu VPN client to connect to an existing hamachi network? [23:02] arsenic: something I might try as a last ditch effort would to be to boot up the latest knoppix live cd... knoppix seems to do some pretty badd azz things that a regular default ubuntu 10.10 probably wont do. so you can see if you can do aynthing using the knoppix os? [23:03] arsenic, have you found any linux drivers for your card? [23:03] markus: as far as i know, you must be using the hamachi client. [23:03] blz no... [23:03] bekks: thnx, I am currently using Haguichi because hamachi-gui won install, does hamachi-gui have a chat instance? [23:04] just with modconf [23:04] arsenic, just an FYI - but Debian doesn't support that device (perhaps Ubuntu does?) [9131:7130] is 'Unknown device' from 'Unknown vendor' with no known kernel module in squeeze or in sid [23:04] arsenic, then it's not going to run under linux [23:04] gebbione: usually hang like that suggests hardware, but not always === KIAaze is now known as KIAaze_away [23:04] markus: I am not using hamachi on my own, but I know i needs his own client to connect to.

I didn't know if it is a specific redhat question, hence posting here b/c I am mainly an Ubuntu guy. What is drbd0? I'm used to /dev/sda1, etc. [23:09] I guess the real question is can I have the script call to the .fw to mv them to /lib/firmware/ well the .deb is still there. kinda confusing sorry. I will sart over again 1) build script that installed b43 ect 2) add script to build folder with icon and .desktop and test.txt 3) make tar 4) put tar in folder 5) run db_make 6 ) get rid of old tar and go into new debian folder and work on config and what not rules beeing the most important. [23:09] this is the part that I am confused about. if the firmare is in the package can I tell it under rulles to put in /lib/firmware/ or do I make so it makes new folder that then script (.desktop) then calles to that folder and then mvs all the stuff. I guess I have never had a .deb package that works that way or that I have seen. so I guess the real question is how to get the firmware files to the /lib/firmware/ for the end user. thanks so much [23:09] for your time and reading this :>) [23:09] bobweaver: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
