| apwbdjp | yosefu, I honestly have no idea, it has given me days of headache, then I decided reinstall will take me less time. | 00:01 |
| crass | anyone know why trying to install wine from x86_64 ubuntu prompts to remove a bunch of packages? | 00:01 |
| bekks | crass: Which packages? Please show us a nopaste. | 00:01 |
| apwbdjp | yosefu, backup your home folder entirely, use aptoncd to backup the big packages, and do it. That is if you find no better solution. | 00:01 |
| yosefu | apwbdjp, thanks for the attention! | 00:02 |
| apwbdjp | _Rod2k, actually no, but I've given the same tutorial to a friend of mine and it worked for him | 00:02 |
| leo | is there any way to install all multimedia codecs available? Im using ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS | 00:02 |
| yosefu | a headache it is | 00:02 |
| glioros | Guys, I am thinking to stop pay for hosting and start my own server. In doing so, if i establish a server from home running ubuntu do i need a fast connection? because most of the ISPs here in London have not good upload speed... | 00:03 |
| apwbdjp | yosefu, anytime. | 00:03 |
| apwbdjp | glioros, what are you hosting? | 00:03 |
| glioros | 158 websites | 00:03 |
| Pumpkin- | does anyone ever look at any of them ? | 00:04 |
| Josesordo | hello | 00:04 |
| SIFTU | glioros: do not do that from your house | 00:04 |
| glioros | SIFTU why? | 00:04 |
| Josesordo | It possible to change GRUB background image in ubuntu 11.10? | 00:04 |
| SIFTU | glioros: well I guess if you have UPS and a top notch security system you could.. but why? | 00:05 |
| apwbdjp | glioros, do you know how much trafic you have, through your websites? | 00:05 |
| glioros | paying for a dedicated server to another company is quite expensive | 00:05 |
| SIFTU | glioros: also if anyone uses the sites you probably wont have enough bandwidth.. how much are you using now? | 00:05 |
| _jay | Hey all, there is a little app that you can run from the terminal that displays what key or input is executed, anyone know what it is? | 00:05 |
| space_lawyer | grep | 00:05 |
| glioros | approximately 1million users per month | 00:06 |
| Tausen | FYI - disabling ACPI didnt fix the "network causes kworker to use 100% CPU" issue | 00:06 |
| apwbdjp | glioros, yeah, but they also save you the pain of buying optical fiber, UPS, a machine with enough horsepower and RAID, and stuffs. | 00:06 |
| SIFTU | glioros: oh is that all.. then you are fine.. go for it | 00:06 |
| Jordan_U | _jay: There is "xev" for simple things in a GUI environment and "showkey" for low level (needs to be run in a non-X tty). | 00:06 |
| _jay | that's it Jordan_U thanks | 00:07 |
| Jordan_U | _jay: You're welcome. | 00:07 |
| glioros | guys it gonna be cheaper i think.. I pay 1000 dollars a month for that server | 00:07 |
| glioros | thats why i am thinking to switch everything home | 00:07 |
| glioros | and at home i am gonna have the server next to me... | 00:08 |
| apwbdjp | Or switch to a cheaper host | 00:08 |
| glioros | how do i know what they are doing with the server i am paying at the moment in another country ? | 00:08 |
| apwbdjp | You don't need a 1000 dollars server for 1 million visits a month | 00:08 |

| crass | bekks: its hard to paste that in from aptitude, but for instance it wants to remove libc6 and replace it with libc-bin (which seems to be causing a cascade effect) | 00:10 |
| glioros | i checked virgin media internet connections here in london and the upload them is not good | 00:10 |

| _Rod2k | I'm gonna make my dinner. A huge thank you to apwbdjp for the tip =) | 00:18 |
| apwbdjp | glioros, they give no info about upload speed, guess you might have to make some calls, or move to the agencies, to ask. | 00:19 |
| LoganKrane | I'm so new to Ubuntu, it's crazy, sorry but I don't know what you're talking about. | 00:19 |
| glioros | Okay guys thanks for the info | 00:19 |
| pac1 | press alt and f2 then type term | 00:19 |
| pac1 | press return and the terminal application will start. | 00:20 |
| LoganKrane | Okay got that. | 00:20 |
| pac1 | terminal is the command prompt in linux | 00:20 |
| LoganKrane | Ah I see. Mkay, it says something about the firmware file not found. | 00:21 |
| pac1 | aha! | 00:21 |
| pac1 | so welcome to the wonderful world of doing your own technical support. | 00:21 |
| LoganKrane | Lol so I just need to find the firmware for it. | 00:22 |
| pac1 | and know what to do with it in linux. | 00:22 |
| glioros | ok just found out the upload speed is 1.361Mbps | 00:22 |
| glioros | do you think is enough? | 00:22 |
| hammommah | question. i have whole heap of media in mounted @ /media/media/... i have chowned all perm to me owner and mythtv group but for some reason i cant see half the folders. when i ls in terminal the ones i can see are highlghted green and other which i cant see are purple? | 00:22 |
| pac1 | If linux is telling you the firmware is the problem, that's a good sign. | 00:22 |
| LoganKrane | IIt actually gave me a website to go to as well. | 00:23 |
| psusi | does anyone know if it is possible to either add another unity bar, or move the existing one to somewhere OTHER than the left side of the screen? | 00:23 |

| pac1 | leo, we can't advise you on that but if you keep repeating a question you'll get the boot. | 00:25 |
| apwbdjp | moonunitzappa, what's the filesystem used on the hdd? | 00:25 |
| psusi | moonunitzappa, it is probably formatted with fat32, which can only handle files up to 4gb in size | 00:25 |
| leo | sorry | 00:25 |
| leo | why cant you guys advise me on that? | 00:25 |
| moonunitzappa | fat32 i think | 00:25 |

| pac1 | My solution was to install windows in virtualbox and use that. | 00:26 |
| hammommah | anyone here know how to change other permissions with chown? | 00:26 |
| apwbdjp | moonunitzappa, if you can't reformat your drive right now, you can bypass that issue by spliting your file in two. | 00:26 |
| psusi | moonunitzappa, windows only understands fat and ntfs | 00:26 |
| stevejb | @hammomah you may way chmod | 00:27 |
| stevejb | chown is ownership | 00:27 |
| stevejb | chmod is permissions | 00:27 |
| Felix72 | moonunitzappa: i used ntfs for that. might not be really recommended but worked for me over the past years without any problems | 00:27 |

| hammommah | anyone here? | 00:28 |
| hammommah | lag soz | 00:28 |
| stevejb | hammomah I think you want chmod | 00:29 |
| apwbdjp | moonunitzappa, you can still zip-split it, I think. It's far away from being the best solution, only do that if reformating is not a solution at the moment. | 00:29 |
| LoganKrane | pacl, is there a way to find out the manufacturer and product through Ubuntu? | 00:29 |
| moonunitzappa | i have a USB thumb drive that i could use. but when itry to format says its inuse | 00:29 |
| pac1 | sometimes you can see it in the log | 00:29 |
| pac1 | there's a second log | 00:29 |
| moonunitzappa | or device is busy | 00:29 |
| pac1 | ls /var/log/sys* | 00:29 |
| LoganKrane | include the asterisk? | 00:30 |
| Driiper | I'm trying to set up PPTP on my server (11.10) but i cant seem to get Default gateway on the client. do anyone have any idea what the problem may be? | 00:30 |
| apwbdjp | moonunitzappa, you have to unmount it first. sudo umount /media/[mydrive] | 00:30 |
| pac1 | use the command: less /var/log/syslog | 00:30 |
| Dan_E | I can't get any burning program to see blank disks in my drives ubuntu 11.10 they do see the drives. Help Please. | 00:31 |
| pac1 | moonunitzappa, its mounted. | 00:31 |
| pac1 | unmount it | 00:31 |
| apwbdjp | moonunitzappa, or just use the disk utility (system -> administration -> disk utility, if I'm right) to both unmount, and format. | 00:31 |

I have installed Uubuntu 11.04 and was displeased with the Unity desktop, so I tried installing KDE, and ended up installing the whole Kubuntu Desktop, I am fine with that, it is kust that when I boot in verbose mode I do not want the screen to flash blue . . . how can I configure the boot so that does not happen? | 00:41 |

| gantry | How do I change the window behavoir in gnome-shell so that it doesn't to have a mouse focus, but not raise the window? | 00:43 |
| ich_ | hi | 00:44 |
| tibo_ | <Josesordo> if it's a desktop, yeah, that's slow... for a recent machine, it should be 1000. for embedded platform, 60fps is not bad | 00:44 |
| apwbdjp | Dan_E, the blank disks are supposed to show on Nautilus (the file explorer) first, with the drives, does it not? | 00:44 |
| Dan_E | I will look | 00:44 |
| Josesordo | tibo_, well is a laptop .. old ASUS hehe | 00:45 |
| gantry | The dialog boxes emerging from the title bar, is that a feature that Ubuntu added or is that a GNOME3-shell thing? | 00:46 |
| tibo_ | g<Josesordo> try that: glxinfo | grep rendering | 00:46 |
| gantry | hello <tap><tap> is this thing on? | 00:47 |
| tibo_ | if it's disabled, that'd explain why it's slow. you'll have to install the latest drivers | 00:47 |
| escott | gantry, do you mean focus follows mouse? | 00:47 |
| gantry | my focus already follows the mouse | 00:48 |
| gantry | I just want it to not raise the window when it gets the focus | 00:48 |
| dr_willis | its a unity ubuntu. 10 thing | 00:48 |
| gantry | dr_willis, how do I turn this off? | 00:48 |
| Josesordo | tibo_, well said: direct rendering --> YES | 00:49 |
| gantry | dr_willis, I don't even know what it is called | 00:49 |
| dr_willis | whixh thing.. you are asking about 2 differebt things | 00:49 |
| tibo_ | <Josesordo> ok... maybe that's all your card can provide :/ | 00:49 |
| dr_willis | the auto raise of focus. not seen a settig to disable that. may not be setable at this time. | 00:50 |
| escott | gantry, i was under the impression that focus follows mouse was completely disabled in gnome3. so i dont know how you can have it at all. | 00:50 |
| tibo_ | <Josesordo> if it's an integrated GPU, they are supposed to be slow, especially on an old laptop... | 00:50 |
| gantry | two things: first, I want to config my wm so that the focused window is not raised; second I want to have normal dialog boxes, not ones that drop down from the title bar....I would appreciate any config help the community can offer me | 00:51 |
| dr_willis | the dialogs slideing down from the titlebars is a new feature of 11.10 and most likely is a compiz plugin | 00:51 |
| escott | gantry, http://blog.bodhizazen.net/linux/gnome-3-focus-follows-mouse/ | 00:51 |
| escott | gantry, although that doesn't make any sense as gnome3 doesn't use mutter | 00:51 |
| Josesordo | tibo_, mm.. well is dedicated.. 512MB of VRAM .. but in old times this card give more FPS .. | 00:51 |
| dr_willis | i like the dialogs pinned into the windows. they worked hard to make it work well. | 00:51 |
| gantry | escott, if you use the gnome-tweak tool you can have mouse focus | 00:52 |
| antnash_ | Has anyone here set up tvheadend before? | 00:52 |
| dr_willis | mutter as far as i know is not usecd any more. its all compiz | 00:52 |
| bjrohan | I could use some serious help. If I had hair I would tear it out by now. I have a couple of problems that I can not seem to resolve after trying multiple ways to fix (I am new to Linux however so I am only implmenting what others have said) Can anyone help? | 00:52 |
| escott | dr_willis, mutter is the gnome3 wm | 00:52 |
| dr_willis | a search of askubuntu.com may show some answerw gantry | 00:53 |
| apwbdjp | bjrohan, we might. Go on, please. | 00:53 |
| dr_willis | escott: i did not see any mutter binary on my 11.10 system when i looked for it yesterday, while usig gnime shell | 00:53 |
| escott | gantry, dr_willis sorry if my previous was confusing meant to say gnome3 doesnt use metacity (it uses mutter) and the blog i found was suggestion changing metacity stuff | 00:53 |
| escott | dr_willis, its not a binary its a library | 00:54 |

| atari2600a | anyone? | 01:01 |
| apwbdjp | Johnnychimpo, ironic ^^ Because you have no space, you'll have troubles installing it | 01:01 |
| greentech | I'm having problems with ebox and ssl | 01:01 |
| bjrohan | apwbdjp Dell Inspiron 6400 with Broadcom 4400 wireless modem. I did see that 4300 Broadcom had issues | 01:01 |
| Johnnychimpo | i have a 1tb hard drive | 01:01 |
| apwbdjp | Johnnychimpo, anyway, use the Ubuntu Live CD (if you have it), or a Knoppix Live CD | 01:01 |
| Johnnychimpo | its got plenty of space | 01:01 |
| apwbdjp | Johnnychimpo, not in the root partition, apparently | 01:02 |
| Johnnychimpo | im on a dual boot w7 bx | 01:02 |
| greentech | I tried running it using port 442 instead of 443 as it said 443 was already in use | 01:02 |
| LoganKrane | Another question, why won't Ubuntu run .exe files such as driver installers? | 01:02 |
| atari2600a | you guys are all terrible | 01:02 |
| lara_94 | helo, i installed openssh-server on a server today and once i logged out i was unable to login again using ssh.. what can be the reason?! | 01:02 |
| Johnnychimpo | hmm any other way to fix it? | 01:03 |
| apwbdjp | Johnnychimpo, use the Ubuntu Live CD, you'll find gparted already on it, use it to give more of the space to the Ubuntu partition | 01:03 |
| Johnnychimpo | i have the ubuntu studio | 01:03 |
| Johnnychimpo | will that have it | 01:03 |
| apwbdjp | Johnnychimpo, no, you can't resize the Ubuntu partition from withing Ubuntu | 01:03 |
| dFence | hi guys - you probably get this a lot, but google couldn't get me a proper solution: I'm using 11.10 and when trying to compile a menuconfig-target I get "[...]/lxdialog/checklist.c:62: undefined reference to `wmove'" – I already tried reinstalling libncurses-dev and libncursesw-dev, but so far no cookie. Linking / Copying /usr/lib/libncurses[w].so to libncurses[w].so.5 didn't work either – any hints? | 01:03 |
| rhizmoe | ubuntu - gdm = ? debian? | 01:04 |
| Johnnychimpo | can i do it from windows 7 how i made it dual boot? | 01:04 |
| Dan_E | apwbdjp, yes they are there. | 01:04 |
| nesoi | anyone have any tips on how to keep my dell xps m-1330 touchpad from freezing all the time with 11.10? | 01:05 |
| === KIAaze is now known as KIAaze_away | ||
| Johnnychimpo | is live just the iso burned to dvd? | 01:05 |
| stevejb | nesoi could it be a temperature issue? | 01:05 |
| apwbdjp | Johnnychimpo, yep yep | 01:05 |
| nesoi | stevejb: I don't think so, because rebooting with no cooldown fixes it at least temporarily | 01:05 |
| apwbdjp | Johnnychimpo, but from Windows I don't think you can resize an EXT4 partition. | 01:05 |
| crass | where is the default architecture that apt-get looks for set? | 01:06 |
| Johnnychimpo | ahh | 01:06 |
| KillaByte | trying to install ubuntu on a alienware m17x but when i try to install 10.10 or 11.04 i have what looks like video issues? | 01:06 |
| nesoi | it seems to be a known issue, but the bug happens a bit differently from the description here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/868400 | 01:06 |
| Johnnychimpo | every other time i connect a usb hard drive i get error creating moint point: no space left on device | 01:06 |

| robin0800 | moonunitzappa, fat 32 is limited to 4 gb | 01:06 |
| nesoi | in this one, the touchpad goes wild, but in my case it just freezes | 01:07 |
| apwbdjp | Dan_E, this is weird.. tried different blank cds? | 01:07 |
| luca | http://filibertobiolca.altervista.org/ | 01:07 |
| eron | So is this the second stop when looking for answers after I read through the support pages? | 01:07 |
| nesoi | wondering if there's an alternate driver which might work | 01:07 |
| nesoi | or something | 01:07 |
| Dan_E | yes i tried 8 different dvd's | 01:07 |
| KillaByte | Is anyone using a alienware to run ubuntu? | 01:07 |
| bodom | anybody? | 01:07 |
| dr_willis | eron: i tend to hit askubuntu.com first. then googlr, then here. | 01:07 |
| Johnnychimpo | so what do i do when im in the live cd on boot up? | 01:07 |
| Dan_E | all blank and all programs say no disk in drive | 01:08 |
| Johnnychimpo | i dont want to wipe my w7 installation | 01:08 |
| eron | are the red names admins here? | 01:08 |
| eron | I havnt use IRC in ages | 01:08 |
| dr_willis | eron: would depend on the irc client | 01:08 |
| dr_willis | i see no red names at all | 01:08 |
| Dan_E | these are rewriteable | 01:09 |
| theborger | anyone suggest a good media center remote that works out of the box and is about 40 to 50 bucks with the receiver? | 01:09 |
| eron | you were poping up as red in Xchat dr | 01:09 |
| apwbdjp | Dan_E, did you try with simple CDR disks? | 01:09 |
| Dan_E | i will now | 01:09 |
| dr_willis | theborger: the mythtv channel guys would know more about those then here. | 01:09 |
| nesoi | no ideas? | 01:09 |
| jim__ | hey can is this ubuntu support | 01:09 |
| jim__ | ? | 01:10 |
| dr_willis | eron: most likely its because i said your nick | 01:10 |
| pdkl | is there an honest unbiased review of unity vs gnome shell? | 01:10 |
| eron | so are you an admin here? | 01:10 |
| eron | or just helpful? | 01:10 |
| dr_willis | pdkl: both are works in progress.. and improveing all the time.. ;) | 01:10 |
| dr_willis | eron: im not an op. | 01:11 |
| dr_willis | pdkl: best advice play with them both, learn how to tweak them both how you want | 01:11 |
| KillaByte | anyone have an alienware m17X running ubuntu? | 01:12 |
| dr_willis | KillaByte: most of ther time any issues would depend on the chipset of the pc, not the brand. | 01:14 |
| lystra | Anyone here with knowledge about LACP? | 01:14 |
| Josesordo | mm.. guys, where I can see the icons (guake, compiz, etc) in Unity with ubuntu 11.10?.. in bottom I can only see the time, my name, message, volume | 01:14 |
| dr_willis | KillaByte: so state the actual problem and see who czn help. | 01:14 |
| reo | Would anyone consider openbox more configurable vs XFCE in terms of themes? | 01:14 |
| Dan_E | regular CDR's blanks show up, blank DVD's don't. | 01:14 |
| dr_willis | xfce uses xfwm i think reo . both are minimal window managers | 01:15 |
| dr_willis | openboc i think hax more built in features | 01:15 |
| KillaByte | i think its video issues | 01:15 |
| KillaByte | says my hardware dont support unity?? | 01:16 |
| flopex | Dan_E: have you installed the restricted extras? | 01:16 |
| Dan_E | drivers? | 01:16 |
| dr_willis | KillaByte: installed the proper 3d drivers yet? | 01:16 |
| KillaByte | thats the problem i cant get to the login screen | 01:17 |
| dr_willis | !info ubuntu-restricted-extras | 01:17 |
| KillaByte | just a black screen | 01:17 |
| ubottu | ubuntu-restricted-extras (source: ubuntu-restricted-extras): Commonly used restricted packages for Ubuntu. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 56 (oneiric), package size 2 kB, installed size 36 kB | 01:17 |
| flopex | Dan_E: no, it's an ubuntu package | 01:17 |
| dr_willis | !nomodeset | KillaByte | 01:17 |
| ubottu | KillaByte: 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 | 01:17 |
| Dan_E | no i didn't | 01:17 |
| apwbdjp | KillaByte, boot into graphic failsafe? | 01:17 |
| flopex | Dan_E: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 01:17 |
| Dan_E | thanks | 01:18 |
| eron | system>admin>hardware drivers....this will auto search for all missing drivers after a new install? | 01:18 |
| dr_willis | eron: yep | 01:18 |
| KillaByte | ok i press shift to get to the screen then edit | 01:18 |
| KillaByte | right? | 01:18 |
| dr_willis | the nomodeset url shows how. | 01:19 |
| apwbdjp | KillaByte, You would edit, or just boot into recovery mode -> graphic failsafe | 01:19 |
| dr_willis | but thats right.. ;) | 01:19 |
| apwbdjp | dr_willis, wouldn't that work too? | 01:19 |
| KillaByte | thank you very much | 01:19 |
| dr_willis | i always edit the grub menu. | 01:20 |
| eron | and can i use the software center to install that codex package or should I learn command line from the get go re: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 01:20 |
| * dr_willis has grub-fu skill of over 9000 | 01:20 | |
| apwbdjp | WHAT?! Over 9000! | 01:21 |
| apwbdjp | eron, never checked if restricted-extras shows in the software center, you could do a search. | 01:22 |
| dr_willis | eron: yes to both. | 01:22 |
| flopex | eron: you could use either. | 01:22 |
| dr_willis | eron: cli is faster and easier to show how on irc ;) | 01:22 |
| eron | cli comand line interface? | 01:22 |
| dr_willis | theres a check box during istall that installs a lot of this by default. | 01:23 |
| dr_willis | !cli | 01:23 |
| ubottu | The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal or type in it: man intro | 01:23 |
| |Anthony| | why doesn't that suggest ctrl+alt+t | 01:23 |
| dr_willis | thats new for 11.10 | 01:24 |
| apwbdjp | What is? | 01:24 |
| |Anthony| | the !cli response? | 01:24 |
| dr_willis | ctrl alt t i think was added in 11.10. i never use that combo | 01:24 |
| |Anthony| | 10.04 | 01:24 |
| apwbdjp | I've been using it since 10.04 | 01:25 |
| apwbdjp | On GNOME, and lxde | 01:25 |
| dr_willis | i alwsys got a shell open since 1980+ | 01:25 |
| dr_willis | ;) | 01:25 |
| nimbiotics | using nautilus in ubuntu 11.10, im trying to search for a file that resides in a folder whose name begins with dot ('."), but neither nautilus nor the "search for files" accesory sem to be able to do search in such folders. Is ther a way around this? | 01:25 |
| flopex | nimbiotics: a folder starting with a period means that it is hidden, press ctrl+h | 01:26 |
| dr_willis | bbl | 01:26 |
| nimbiotics | flopex: I've got "Show hidden and backup files" ON by default | 01:27 |
| Dan_E | do I need to reboot after installing restricted-extras? | 01:28 |
| apwbdjp | nimbiotics, do you know the full filename? | 01:28 |
| flopex | Dan_E: I'm not sure. | 01:28 |
| nimbiotics | apwbdjp: yes, but full name does not work either | 01:28 |
| bastidrazor | Dan_E: no | 01:29 |
| apwbdjp | Then you could use terminal command | 01:29 |
| bastidrazor | Dan_E: all you need to do is restart any applications you're using.. banshee for mp3's or chrome/firefox for flash | 01:29 |
| nimbiotics | apwbdjp: ?? | 01:29 |
| flopex | nimbiotics: Try using the terminal to cd into the directory you want. | 01:29 |
| apwbdjp | ls -aR .*/youfilename | 01:29 |
| apwbdjp | nimbiotics, that will give you the path to the file, wherever it is, as long as it's in a hidden directory | 01:30 |
| eron | ctr-c will not copy from the commandl line? | 01:30 |
| Dan_E | still does not see my blank dvd's in file system | 01:30 |
| apwbdjp | eron, no, use ctrl+shift+c | 01:30 |
| nimbiotics | flopex, apwbdjp: The problem is that, this time I know the full name and location of this file, but that is not always the case | 01:31 |
| eron | ty | 01:31 |
| r4y | I want to know, can I make an iso out of my current install of Ubuntu? | 01:31 |
| apwbdjp | nimbiotics, if you're not sure it's in a hidden folder, just delete the .*/ | 01:31 |
| apwbdjp | r4y, you mean a bootable CD, or a backup? | 01:31 |
| eron | if i did sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras and the last few lines that poped up were 1 upgraded, 50 newly installed, 2 to remove and 184 not upgraded. | 01:31 |
| eron | E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) | 01:31 |
| eron | E: Unable to lock the download directory | 01:31 |
| nimbiotics | flopex, apwbdjp: Let me restate the question: How do I make a search for a file that might be in a hidden folder? | 01:31 |
| r4y | bootable cd I can install from | 01:31 |
| apwbdjp | eron, close the software center, and synaptic, and any other apt instance | 01:32 |
| eron | k | 01:32 |
| r4y | Not for any mp3s and so on | 01:32 |
| apwbdjp | nimbiotics, ls -aR yourfilename | 01:32 |
| Jordan_U | Dan_E: Non-blank DVDs are visible though? (blank CDs/DVDs should never show up in "Filesystem") | 01:32 |
| hammommah | how do i add umask option to chmod -Rv a=wrx /media/media so all new files created have permissions as shown applied? | 01:32 |
| apwbdjp | nimbiotics, this will look recursively for the file, even if it's in a hidden folder. | 01:32 |
| scottj | how do I change what the system background (not the same as gnome selected bg, it's the one cairo-compmgr uses and I think gdm) | 01:32 |
| r4y | I have a blank drive I am thinking of doing this from | 01:32 |
| === cantonic_ is now known as cantonic | ||
| Dan_E | ok will try burning again | 01:33 |
| eron | that would include the system>admin>hardware drivers windows? | 01:33 |
| Jordan_U | nimbiotics: "locate search_pattern_here". | 01:33 |
| nimbiotics | apwbdjp: but do i need to have the full name of the file? can I use placeholders? | 01:33 |
| nesoi | Asking again: anyone have any tips on how to keep my dell xps m-1330 touchpad from freezing all the time with 11.10? | 01:33 |
| apwbdjp | nimbiotics, yes, ls can take * and ? | 01:33 |
| nimbiotics | apwbdjp: THX! | 01:33 |
| r4y | I am going to install 10.04 first then install what I want and hopefully I can make a cd out of that | 01:33 |
| Jordan_U | nimbiotics: I don't think can ls is what you want for searching for files unless you're working with shallow directory trees with few files in them. | 01:34 |
| apwbdjp | r4y, the method I would use would be to install what you want, then save the packages (not the entire install) with APTonCD | 01:34 |
| r4y | I wish this computer had a DVD writer and reader | 01:34 |
| r4y | I will check that out ty | 01:34 |
| nimbiotics | Jordan_U: I | 01:35 |
| slike | Hi. I bougtht my laptop 3months ago but I haave a little problem. In fact it's noisy and I do not use it for video editing | 01:35 |
| apwbdjp | r4y, APTonCD outputs an ISO that you can move somewhere else, burn, or just keep like that. | 01:35 |
| flopex | nimbiotics: ls -al | 01:35 |
| nimbiotics | Jordan_U: I'll never know | 01:35 |
| Jimmyk_ | Is this a good place to ask about pptp VPN server setup? | 01:35 |
| r4y | Cool, ty for the help | 01:35 |
| slike | It's also noisy when I'm on the internet, open firefox with word | 01:35 |
| Dan_E | nope xfburn says drive is empty | 01:36 |
| Jordan_U | nimbiotics: What do you mean? | 01:36 |
| nimbiotics | apwbdjp, Jordan_U: ls -aR *peaceful* returns error "ls: cannot access peaceful*: No such file or directory" | 01:36 |
| Dan_E | and there is a blank dvd in it | 01:36 |
| Kalidarn | is security.ubuntu.com down? | 01:36 |
| Kalidarn | Unable to connect to security.ubuntu.com:http: [IP: 91.189.92.166 80] that concerns me :P | 01:36 |
| Jordan_U | nimbiotics: Try just "locate peaceful". | 01:36 |
| apwbdjp | Jordan_U was right. | 01:37 |
| flopex | Kalidarn: it works for me. | 01:37 |
| apwbdjp | I got stupid on this one. find -iname, and locate are a lot better. | 01:37 |
| JZApples | Prior to my 11.10 upgrade I uninstalled Evolution Mail via the software center and installed Thunderbird but there appears to be a lot of Evolution left on my system. What is the best way to clean all this up? Search "Evolution" in the synaptic package manager and remove everything that way?????? | 01:37 |
| nimbiotics | Jordan_U: I get not response at all | 01:37 |
| bonhoffer | anyone know how i can make an icon show up when i hit alt-tab (i get a ? now for an app) | 01:37 |
| Kalidarn | flopex: try to update now | 01:38 |
| Kalidarn | it may have worked in the past | 01:38 |
| Jordan_U | nimbiotics: If it's a recently added file try "sudo updatedb" (will take a while to run and should give no output), then "locate peaceful" again. | 01:38 |
| Kalidarn | flopex: cannot even ping it | 01:38 |
| Jimmyk_ | Spinkzeit: Finish your work | 01:39 |
| apwbdjp | nimbiotics, try find -iname *peaceful* | 01:39 |
| nimbiotics | Jordan_U: THX, will do | 01:39 |
| szal | JZApples: as integrated as I hear that Evolution is into Gnome, I suspect it highly likely that you cannot remove it all w/o uninstalling Gnome | 01:39 |
| flopex | Kalidarn: it's working perfectly! | 01:39 |
| Dan_E | how do you get to a terminal in 11.10 | 01:39 |
| webPragmatist | any of oyu use rdiff-backup? | 01:39 |
| Johnnychimpo | ok i shrunk my w7 partition to 500 leaving 500 for ubuntu | 01:39 |
| flopex | Dan_E: ctrl+alt+t | 01:39 |
| nimbiotics | apwbdjp: same thing; no feedback at all | 01:39 |
| apwbdjp | Dan_E, just Ctrl+Alt+T | 01:39 |
| webPragmatist | i'm trying to figure out how to make a dang include list that says "exclude all but /var /etc and /home" | 01:39 |
| JZApples | szal, that's silly | 01:40 |

| nimbiotics | apwbdjp: cant tell as i get no feedback | 01:41 |
| capeta | i have libpcre3 package installed but when i try to compile nginx, it says that i didn't have pcre | 01:41 |
| flopex | nimbiotics: did you try ls -al | 01:41 |
| apwbdjp | nimbiotics, peaceful exists, somewhere in the filetree? | 01:41 |
| o0splitpaw0o | webPragmatist: http://wiki.rdiff-backup.org/wiki/index.php/GraphicalUserInterfaces | 01:41 |
| Jordan_U | apwbdjp: nimbiotics is still probably waiting for "sudo updatedb" to finish. | 01:41 |
| szal | capeta: did you also install the respective -dev package? | 01:41 |
| Jordan_U | flopex: nimbiotics doesn't even know what directory the file is in as far as I can tell. | 01:42 |
| Jordan_U | flopex: So ls is rather useless. | 01:42 |
| flopex | Jordan_U: yes, that is what I though as well. | 01:42 |
| flopex | thought | 01:42 |
| Dan_E | hmm still not working | 01:42 |
| Kalidarn | flopex: must be an singtel routing failure because it stops there when trying to traceroute | 01:42 |

| Johnnychimpo | ok, gparted says i still have 432 unallocated | 01:43 |
| nimbiotics | Jordan_U: I was testing with a known file, but the fact is I need to find a file that might be in a hidden folder so, no; I dont know the location of the file; I only know the name contains "Peaceful" | 01:43 |
| flopex | Kalidarn: traceroute works fine. | 01:43 |
| r4y | JZApples, I remember once I unstalled evolution because I didn't want it and some other thing like it and my install of Ubuntu got messed up. Instead now I open alacarte known also as the main menu and take evolution off of applications, Internet then I do sudo apt-get remove indicator-messages then I do killall gnome-panel | 01:43 |
| Kalidarn | yes from australia though | 01:43 |
| Steak | does anyone here know how I can install Flash for ubuntu 11.10? I have a 64-bit machine, but I'm rather indifferent to the 32-bit flash client vs. the 64-bit native | 01:43 |
| flopex | nimbiotics: ls -al |grep Peaceful | 01:44 |
| RudyValencia | What is the "lecture" sudo refers to when I first run a privileged command? | 01:44 |
| Kalidarn | obviously it's going to take a different path from where i am in australia rather than from wherever you are flopex | 01:44 |

| webPragmatist | anyone else know rdiff-backup? | 01:44 |
| dr_willis | Steak: i just use the installer in the repos | 01:44 |
| Johnnychimpo | is this good | 01:44 |
| Johnnychimpo | /dev/sda2 489G 296G 193G 61% /host | 01:44 |
| Steak | got a download from Adobe but it only has two folders 'pki' and 'yum.repos.d' and no readme or instructions | 01:44 |
| Jordan_U | Steak: What are you trying to install? | 01:45 |
| szal | Steak: use the FlashAid plugin for Firefox & have it install the "development version" (don't remember the exact wording), that'll pull in 64bit Flash | 01:45 |
| nimbiotics | Jordan_U: find did work for thye test file, but the one I', looking for is not show. I know is there cause I've got an application opening it, but I cannot sdee the location from this application | 01:45 |
| dr_willis | Steak: dont use the download like that use the repos/package manager | 01:45 |
| Steak | Jordan_U: just the flash player, eg for youtube | 01:45 |
| szal | dr_willis: what is the exact package name for 64bit Flash then? | 01:45 |
| Jordan_U | Steak: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer | 01:45 |

| ubottu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 01:45 |

| Johnnychimpo | how can i allocate the 432 that is not being used for ubuntu | 01:46 |
| apwbdjp | nimbiotics, if so, then it's probably not in the ~ folder, you'll have to cd back to / (just do cd /), and do the find again, it'll take a while | 01:46 |

| nimbiotics | Jordan_U: it didnt take long to refresh; this is a rather fresh install | 01:48 |
| dr_willis | Johnnychimpo: use gparted from a live cd. is a common tool for that task | 01:48 |
| Abisu | hi | 01:48 |
| Johnnychimpo | ok, im confused what to do with gparted when i get in there | 01:49 |
| apwbdjp | nimbiotics, are you trying it from / now? | 01:49 |
| dr_willis | Johnnychimpo: resize the fs's as needed | 01:49 |
| Johnnychimpo | i shrank my w7 to half | 01:49 |
| Johnnychimpo | now i have 432 unallocated | 01:49 |
| Jordan_U | nimbiotics: Try "locate -i peaceful" in case it's something like "Peaceful" (capital 'P'). | 01:49 |
| dr_willis | Johnnychimpo: so grow ubuntu fs next. | 01:49 |
| Johnnychimpo | ok, where is that at | 01:49 |
| apwbdjp | Johnnychimpo, right click on the ubuntu partition, resize, and grow it | 01:50 |
| bodom | anybody? | 01:50 |

| hammommah | apwbdjp, would this work? http://pastebin.com/G0MAQQKa | 01:51 |

| irreverant | Maybe six monthgs | 01:51 |
| Johnnychimpo | creat as file system ext2 ? | 01:51 |
| dr_willis | Johnnychimpo: huh? you booted a cd, and installed ubuntu to its own partition? | 01:51 |
| Steak | (I'm on a Live CD for what difference it makes) "sudo apt-get update" says some index files failed to download | 01:52 |
| Johnnychimpo | no | 01:52 |

| Johnnychimpo | damn it. i got to start over then | 01:52 |
| nimbiotics | apwbdjp: last command u gave DID return what I expected; but the file I was looking for is not there, guess it has something to do with the application. THANKS A LOT | 01:53 |
| dr_willis | wubi installs to a file on the windows drive | 01:53 |
| irreverant | I dont' have that option! | 01:53 |

| r4y | How do I know what extra packages I have add so I know what to add to the CDs I am going to make APTonCD?, including updates? | 01:53 |
| apwbdjp | hammommah, that would be a bit different because I think chmod and chown output to stderr, not stdout | 01:53 |
| popsch | what does gnome do in the sound panel when I go beyond 100% in the output volume? | 01:53 |
| r4y | I meant added, sorry | 01:54 |
| Steak | just to be clear, what is the "Software Center"? Is that something accessed through the Dash Home? | 01:54 |
| dr_willis | Johnnychimpo: if doing a install.. leave it unallocated and let the installer partion the unallocated pace as it wants | 01:54 |
| Johnnychimpo | is there any way to move my install to another disk? | 01:54 |
| szal | r4y: extra packages for what? | 01:54 |
| r4y | aptoncd | 01:54 |
| dr_willis | moving a wubi install is doable.. i hear.. i dont use wubi. | 01:54 |
| robin0800 | apwbdjp, they do all flavourers | 01:55 |
| r4y | Like for instance hydrogen, updates, flash and what ever I have added to an install of Ubuntu to put onto CDs using APTonCD | 01:55 |
| dr_willis | Steak: theres an icon for it in the panel by default. | 01:55 |
| hammommah | apwbdjp, it worked with sudo chmod -Rv a=wrx /media/media > chmod.txt | 01:55 |

| apwbdjp | hammommah, Nice ^^ | 01:56 |
| Johnnychimpo | thanks | 01:56 |
| dr_willis | Steak: software center = the main new fancy package manager tool for ubuntu now a days. there are alteratives | 01:56 |
| apwbdjp | Johnnychimpo, you were on Wubi?! My bad I didn't catch that.. | 01:56 |
| Steak | thanks dr_willis, I must have missed that somehow | 01:57 |
| dr_willis | Steak: i rarely use it. i perfer synaptic ;) | 01:57 |
| Steak | how do I get synaptic? is it a download? | 01:57 |
| dr_willis | yes... | 01:58 |
| hammommah | finally a way to have all media accessable by everyone :) if i set system umask to 000 will all files dropped on to media server then be accesable by everyone or do i have to still run bash script everytime? | 01:58 |
| dr_willis | ;) | 01:58 |
| Steak | says it's not included by default in ubuntu 11.10 | 01:58 |
| leo2007 | when I run `xdg-open .' to open current dir in file-browser. It is opened but not brought to the front. Any ideas? | 01:58 |

| [PanzeR]DzaDze | does someone here knows something about gtk theming ? | 01:59 |
| samuel | anyone know of a program sort of like bittorrent (peer2peer) that keeps files in sync between computers yet does not require a server computer? | 01:59 |
| manikou | hello | 01:59 |
| ygor | Hello Guys..im running Ubuntu 11.10 by a flash drive, and to do that i used the universal-usb-installer.well, it works fine but, how can i change the language from english to something else running a live-cd, or a live-flash-drive? | 01:59 |
| r4y | OK, I am confused APTonCD doesn't have the packages listed like Synaptic Package Manager and Ubuntu Software Center. Instead I have to download them, right?, I don't see why this is any better then putting the files on CD myself. | 01:59 |
| Steak | I'll give it a shot.... I really like downloading a file, having the file, then executing it.... none of this "click here in the Center" hocus pocus | 02:00 |
| r4y | I must be missing how this works. I need to Google this first I guess. | 02:00 |
| dr_willis | Steak: self installing executalbes like windows usesx have a whole host of other issues.. | 02:01 |

Let me explain better, i cant log-off to change the language because im using a live-cd, and if i do so, its asks me user name and password, which i dont have. | 02:03 |

| MagicJ | how do I upgrade to 11.10 and stay with Gnome? | 02:05 |
| Jordan_U | ygor: I would generally recommend a standard install (which will work fine on a flash drive, even on multiple computers) if you have enough space. | 02:05 |
| k3n | is qt already on ubuntu? | 02:06 |
| escott | MagicJ, you don't | 02:06 |
| Jordan_U | !notunity | MagicJ | 02:06 |
| ubottu | MagicJ: 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 | 02:06 |
| interlude2011 | Regarding firefox: the firefox-bin process does not shutdown when I exit firefox. Could this be a sign of a trojan? | 02:06 |
| dr_willis | MagicJ: you mean stay with gnome-2? | 02:06 |
| mattiekins | hey guys... how do I setup smuxi to get to channel #witp? | 02:06 |
| MagicJ | escott: what do you mean | 02:06 |
| MagicJ | dr_willis: yes | 02:06 |
| dr_willis | MagicJ: simple... you dont. | 02:06 |
| escott | MagicJ, if you want gnome2 you don't upgrade, or you pick another distribution | 02:06 |
| ygor | apwbdjp? yeah i tried this but the live-cd asks for this user name and password, someone told me ubuntu and ubuntu, but did not work out. | 02:06 |
| apwbdjp | k3n, try sudo apt-get install qt[tab][tab], you'll get a list. | 02:06 |
| Steak | dr_willis: during the OS install or on opening Firefox? | 02:07 |
| dr_willis | gnome2 is dead time to move on.. ;) | 02:07 |
| jost__ | i've got a problem here... i run a package update on my Server via SSH. Usually, the update runs on its own, so I didn't watch it. Now this update prompted me (for a passphrase), but upon noticing this the ssh connection was already broken. The update process is still waiting. My question is: How do I get the system back without causing damage? | 02:07 |
| dr_willis | Steak: install of the os. | 02:07 |
| Jordan_U | interlude2011: No. It's probably just a bug or a firefox window that you aren't noticing is still open. | 02:07 |
| MagicJ | yuck - so this is the end of the line for me? | 02:07 |
| apwbdjp | ygor, find your username with the whoami command, and change your password with sudo passwd yourusername | 02:07 |
| jost__ | is there a way to simply send the process the passphrase? | 02:07 |
| ygor | Jordan_U? how? i dont understand whats a standard install.. i mean i just told the software to install ubuntu in this flash drive and no parameters were asked... | 02:08 |
| cryptodira | running 10.10 amd/64 toshiba notebook here...... does anyone know if/when the keyboard backlight problem will be fixed??? it never works beyond POST.... :( | 02:08 |
| dr_willis | MagicJ: gnome2 is dead... officially.. at least | 02:08 |
| Steak | dr_willis: ok I'm on a Live CD, didn't give many options | 02:08 |
| Jordan_U | MagicJ: As the factoid states, GNOME's "fallback" session is similar to GNOME-2, and in addition XFCE is similar to GNOME2 and the developers have stated that they don't intend to make any major shifts like GNOME has. | 02:08 |
| MagicJ | what are other distros doing? | 02:08 |
| dr_willis | MagicJ: using gnime 3 | 02:09 |
| mattiekins | anyone here using smuxi? | 02:09 |
| Jordan_U | ygor: I mean to boot from a different CD / USB and run the Ubuntu installer. What you have right now is more accurately described as a "LiveUSB" than an Ubuntu installation and has many drawbacks. | 02:09 |
| MagicJ | ok - is gnome 3 like gnome 2 - it is this unity thing that I don't like | 02:09 |
| mattiekins | or is ther a better irc client for linux? | 02:09 |
| MagicJ | mattiekins: I use chatzilla | 02:10 |
| dr_willis | MagicJ: and you have actually tried unity for how long? | 02:10 |
| interlude2011 | Thanks Jordan_U. I ran chkrootkit but it didn't come up with anything except a false positive. | 02:10 |
| mattiekins | does it work well on ubuntu? | 02:10 |
| ygor | apwbdjp ok...its done..hope it works..thanks. | 02:10 |
| apwbdjp | mattiekins, for gui I use xchat, when on low power I use irssi. | 02:10 |
| Jordan_U | interlude2011: You're welcome. | 02:10 |
| escott | MagicJ, its conceptually similar to unity, but you should try it on a liveusb | 02:10 |
| MagicJ | dr_willis: about a month - tere are some things that I like about it - but there is too much I don't | 02:10 |
| mattiekins | xchat never wants to connect to my server | 02:10 |
| dr_willis | MagicJ: gnome3 is not like gnome2. the fallback mode is a crutch also | 02:10 |
| MagicJ | dr_willis: is gnome 3 an option for 11.10 | 02:11 |
| mattiekins | dr_willis: yes | 02:11 |
| ygor | Jordan_U yeah maybe i could give a try and try to reinstall somehow..thanks | 02:11 |
| dr_willis | its in the repos yes... MagicJ | 02:11 |
| k3n | is there an option on sudo apt-get install that gets dependencies included? | 02:12 |
| Jordan_U | ygor: You're welcome. | 02:12 |
| apwbdjp | k3n, actually, I think it does it without the need to tell it to | 02:12 |
| flopex | k3n: sudo apt-get -f install | 02:12 |
| Jordan_U | k3n: apt-get always installs any dependencies. | 02:12 |
| k3n | I'm getting a lot of broken packages | 02:13 |
| k3n | I'm on 10.04 | 02:13 |
| flopex | k3n: maybe you just need to update | 02:13 |
| apwbdjp | k3n, that's usually because of removing, more than from installing | 02:13 |
| k3n | possibly | 02:13 |
| k3n | nope still broken packages | 02:14 |
| k3n | unmet dependencies... | 02:15 |
| k3n | qt doesn't already come on ubuntu? | 02:15 |
| apwbdjp | k3n, gksu synaptic, and see if it proposes anything? | 02:15 |
| cryptodira | running 10.10 amd/64 toshiba notebook here...... does anyone know if/when the keyboard backlight problem will be fixed??? it never works beyond POST.... :( | 02:16 |
| k3n | apwbdjp, what's that suppose to do? | 02:16 |
| k3n | It gives blank prompt | 02:16 |
| apwbdjp | k3n, gksu sill prompt you for your password (the way sudo does) | 02:16 |
| escott | cryptodira, you need to check launchpad for your hardware and see if there is a bug report and what the status is | 02:16 |

| apwbdjp | Khayyam, use 32 bits if you have a 32 bits machine, with no more than 3 gigs of ram. | 02:19 |
| pfifo | Khayyam, go 64, it only recommends 32 in case you dont know what your bus size is | 02:19 |

| jost___ | thanks for the hints - simply sending the apt-get process a TERM signal and using "dpkg --configure -a" worked | 02:33 |
| apwbdjp | D_Russ, ask your question | 02:33 |
| D_Russ | is there a way to make the images larger for selecting images in applications such as gimp, so that i dont have to manually prview every image in the folder to find the correct one | 02:33 |
| dr_willis | apwbdjp: oh? i use it over ssh on my android phone. smaller then a netbook... | 02:34 |
| jost___ | good night everyone | 02:34 |
| apwbdjp | jost___, good night! | 02:34 |
| apwbdjp | dr_willis, ^^ got used to spaced terminals and large fonts, I believe ^^ | 02:35 |
| dr_willis | i got a mini-netbook like setup here. android phone and a mini bluetooth keybord+touchpad | 02:35 |
| apwbdjp | dr_willis, I'd kill for something like that.. | 02:36 |
| apwbdjp | dr_willis, I heard lxde runs fine on rooted android? | 02:36 |
| dr_willis | whole setup about the size of 2 cellphones. made a custome stand also. | 02:36 |
| KSHawkEye | I'm looking for a command prompt way to create an iso, any ideas? | 02:37 |
| dr_willis | !info mkisofs | 02:37 |
| ubottu | Package mkisofs does not exist in oneiric | 02:37 |
| apwbdjp | KSHawkEye, from a CD, or build it from files? | 02:37 |
| dr_willis | hmm.. what was that command. | 02:37 |
| apwbdjp | !info genisoimage | 02:38 |
| ubottu | genisoimage (source: cdrkit): Creates ISO-9660 CD-ROM filesystem images. In component main, is optional. Version 9:1.1.11-1ubuntu2 (oneiric), package size 519 kB, installed size 1400 kB | 02:38 |
| zorobabel | just had to do a kill-all | 02:38 |
| dr_willis | !info wodim | 02:38 |

| zorobabel | kinda annoying | 02:38 |
| D_Russ | is there a way to get thumbnail preview in apps that require me to find images, so that i dont have to go through hundreds of images to find the correct one that i need? | 02:38 |
| KSHawkEye | apwbdjp: from files, it's important that I can preserve the file structure though, I don't care about the standards as long as it works on ubuntu again. I need it to follow system links, and allow for executing | 02:38 |
| dr_willis | file selection dialog i thought had a show thumbnail/icon option | 02:39 |
| Nertskull | Does anyone have a suggestion for a good command line LAN chat system? ytalk is all I know of, but I'm wondering if there are others? | 02:39 |
| Jim__ | hello? | 02:40 |
| dr_willis | jello. | 02:41 |
| Jim__ | what do you think of ubuntu? | 02:41 |
| KSHawkEye | basically, i need to create an iso which keeps file structure as close as possible. I need the iso to keep the system links and the file permissions so I can run the programs latter from the disc. Any ideas? | 02:41 |
| dr_willis | Jim__: i use it.. what more is there to say.. | 02:41 |
| r4y | Hello again. I want to mark the bad sectors of my hard drive I just wiped with DBAN. My hard drive has this link to go to: http://support.wdc.com/ | 02:41 |

| Jim__ | cool | 02:42 |
| apwbdjp | KSHawkEye, http://linuxcommand.org/man_pages/mkisofs8.html <- Look at the example section. | 02:42 |
| Jim__ | i have this problem with my system | 02:42 |
| r4y | Ubuntu opened a whole new world to me | 02:42 |
| apwbdjp | BRB | 02:43 |
| webPragmatist | what are some monitoring tools for ubuntu? | 02:43 |
| r4y | Can I suggest you get an extra hard drive to try Ubuntu on?, but not as a dual boot. | 02:43 |
| webPragmatist | like service monitoring | 02:43 |
| Jim__ | whenever i adjust the brightness it goes into a flashing fit.. any help? | 02:43 |
| webPragmatist | canonical? | 02:44 |
| taladon | webPragmatist, what are you wanting to monitor? like apache or mysql? | 02:44 |
| r4y | Hmm, it maybe a monitor problem, but I wouldn't know | 02:44 |
| r4y | If it is a monitor problem then trying Ubuntu on another hard drive would be one way to tell | 02:44 |
| webPragmatist | taladon: yea | 02:44 |
| webPragmatist | disk usage and such | 02:45 |
| Jim__ | ya maybe | 02:45 |
| Jim__ | ill see | 02:45 |
| webPragmatist | nagios ? | 02:45 |
| r4y | Funny they are using another definition of the word monitor | 02:45 |
| webPragmatist | I think i've tried zabbix | 02:45 |
| taladon | I've used nagios at work... it's not too bad.. there's also zabbix and zenoss | 02:45 |
| * dr_willis is confused also | 02:45 | |
| robin0800 | [PanzeR]DzaDze, you need to change the theme | 02:46 |
| r4y | Do you have Nero jim? | 02:46 |
| D_Russ | so i guess there is no thumbnail feature when selecting images within an application? | 02:46 |
| KSHawkEye | apwbdjp: Much appreciated. I'm not seeing anything that keeps the permissions though, I need to be able to run the programs off the cd, I have tried several of these examples but the permissions seem to always get lost. | 02:46 |
| dr_willis | D_Russ: i thought the normal file dialog box had that option | 02:46 |
| [PanzeR]DzaDze | robin0800, no, i need to change the selection on right click menu to be 0.. | 02:46 |
| [PanzeR]DzaDze | i'll post screenshout | 02:47 |
| r4y | Nero is what use to burn Ubuntu onto CD, but the first time I had Ubuntu I requested for Ubuntu on CD and they sent it to me for free | 02:47 |
| * dr_willis checks | 02:47 | |
| robin0800 | !nounity | MagicJ | 02:47 |
| ubottu | MagicJ: 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 | 02:47 |
| dr_willis | theres dozens of tools to burn an iso to cd in windows. ;) | 02:47 |
| r4y | Name some for Jim | 02:48 |
| dr_willis | !burn | 02:48 |
| ubottu | CD/DVD burning software: k3b (KDE), brasero (GNOME), gnomebaker, xcdroast, wodim (command-line) | To burn ISO files, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto | 02:48 |
| D_Russ | if you selecting an image in an application such as gimp, you have to manually select each image file to see a preview vs having all images in that folder be displayed with a thumbnail so you can find the file easily. | 02:48 |
| r4y | Jim is using Windows, right? | 02:48 |
| D_Russ | works this way for other apps also | 02:48 |
| webPragmatist | taladon: what types of things did you monitor with nagios? | 02:48 |
| apwbdjp | imgburn is what I always use. Does.. everything. | 02:48 |
| apwbdjp | and is free! | 02:48 |
| r4y | Jim__: you are running Windows, right? | 02:49 |
| r4y | Nice, Jim can go here to download it: http://www.imgburn.com/ | 02:50 |
| dr_willis | D_Russ: normally i just drag/drop from nautilis onto the apps. been ages sinc2d ive used gimp. | 02:51 |
| r4y | bookmarked | 02:51 |
| r4y | TY | 02:51 |
| dr_willis | imgburn - what i tend to use also | 02:51 |
| D_Russ | not just gimp dr_willis, but almost any other app that requires you to select an image. | 02:51 |
| r4y | jim__: do you have a flash drive? | 02:52 |
| dr_willis | D_Russ: i drag/drop 99% of the time | 02:52 |
| r4y | I think jim is gone | 02:52 |

| truth63 | hey can sum1 help me or give me sum info on how i can get my comp too recognize my hdd | 03:08 |
| apwbdjp | I love the flexibility of Windows.. I've copied an entire install into an .img file, split it in two and put it in two usb sticks, zeroed the hard drive, repartitionned, the system could work again. | 03:08 |
| whateverelse2 | is it external? | 03:08 |
| apwbdjp | That is on Linux. On windows, you resize a partition, you break the installation. | 03:08 |
| dr_willis | truth63: start with the basics. try mounting it by hand yet? what kind of hd is it? | 03:08 |
| BrianXP7 | apwbdjp, I'm back | 03:08 |
| truth63 | yes but no longer in a case | 03:08 |

| truth63 | is that an app? | 03:11 |
| dr_willis | mount is the core comand to mount filesystems.... | 03:11 |
| apwbdjp | truth63, it's a command. Does the hard drive appear in the disk utility (System -> Administration -> Disk Utility) when you plug it in? | 03:11 |
| truth63 | yes under peripheral drives | 03:12 |
| apwbdjp | Then clic on it, and clic Mount | 03:13 |
| truth63 | theres no place to do so | 03:13 |
| truth63 | It says volumes unknown | 03:14 |
| apwbdjp | Hum.. unformatted hard drive? | 03:15 |
| EvilResistance | truth63: does anything show up whne you use the disk utility to view the drive? | 03:17 |
| truth63 | no it was working prior to having to remove from external case | 03:17 |

| Consty | I'm having an issue with the current version of the ATI proprietary driver. When I attempt to install it, unity completely fails to start because libGL.so.1 isn't found. I'm assuming this is some kind of a weird issue on 64-bit platforms since the file does exist in /usr/lib64 for example. Even making a symbolic link to it though in /usr/lib seems to still cause Unity to fail. | 03:20 |

| Neldogz | should i just go to the install folder for pithos and overwrite the perms? | 03:39 |
| mazda01 | xfs filesystem people out here? | 03:40 |
| mazda01 | Neldogz, not sure what repurcutions running pithos as root has but you can also edit the command that's run within the menu by adding gksudo in front of it if it's a GUI app | 03:41 |
| Neldogz | mazda01: if i were to reset the perms on the pithos folder would this satisfy sudo? | 03:42 |
| mazda01 | no idea | 03:42 |
| Neldogz | gonna give it a try | 03:43 |
| mazda01 | Neldogz, i was just trying to help fast. not sure what your real issue is | 03:43 |
| mazda01 | i would investigate how pithos is normally run | 03:43 |
| black_13 | i am am trying to install ubunut as vmware guest but am having problem install the vmware tools | 03:43 |

| black_13 | I get the message "Skipping X configuration because X drivers are not included" | 03:43 |

| urlin2u | truth63_, you can access the Hd with a booted ubuntu disc and pull what you want and many other open source, you need to be more desciptive of what you want to save and if there is a OS. | 04:00 |
| aeon-ltd | rhizmoe: offtopic, but i doubt a lot even for 'hipster vintage' type value | 04:01 |

| CrazyThinker | Is there any way to hibernate ubuntu? | 04:08 |
| urlin2u | truth63_, not really sure here since it sounds like the internal sata this is out of my area of knowledge really, I assume you have rebooted though, and you could put that HD in fstab or maybe somethings there blocking it just guessing really. | 04:08 |
| urlin2u | CrazyThinker, the is a hibernate in the shutdown menu, you have to have at least a equal swap to ram to have it works if it does. | 04:10 |
| domo | question.. why does ubuntu server use .bashrc instead of .bash_profile? | 04:10 |
| domo | in my home dir | 04:10 |
| CrazyThinker | urlin2u, Thanks | 04:10 |
| truth63_ | urlin2u how do i put in fstab? | 04:11 |
| urlin2u | !fstab | 04:11 |
| ubottu | The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 04:11 |

| truth63_ | i am thanks i hope it works | 04:15 |
| truth63_ | urlin2u it wont delete info will it? | 04:15 |
| urlin2u | truth63_, what, you would have to run a command made to delete, your question basically no | 04:16 |

| peepsalot | i tried alt-click and drag to move the popup alert box window, but it only moves the entire firefox window | 04:36 |
| peepsalot | not sure if this is a firefox, gnome 3, or flash issue | 04:37 |
| urlin2u | truth63_, I find this on the web but I think you need to ask a professional, I would call a computer repair I guess, they should know much more and can ask the right questions or contact the manufacturer maybe there is a way to get in. http://betanews.com/2009/11/05/is-aes-encryption-crackable/ | 04:37 |
| thorn | ok, it reset properly when I switched options from multipage to copy and back. | 04:37 |
| peepsalot | well, it's probably flash's fault, but i think firefox should probably handle flash errors better | 04:38 |

| crshbndct | yeah. its a radeon hd 6970 | 04:43 |
| crshbndct | 2gb | 04:43 |
| urlin2u | crshbndct, try tapping the shift key on powering on and at the gui hit f6 then choose nomodeset for a low grapphic boot boot in from the nomodeset choice | 04:44 |
| crshbndct | i created a bootable usb with unetbootin. it works with every other deb/ubuntu distro. but it doesnt give me the ubuntu boot screen. just a generic grub boot screen | 04:45 |

| khayyam | is there a program/app list somewhere off of the ubuntu 11.10 desktop? | 05:06 |
| grandy | hello, i installed 11.1 and when I move the mouse to the left side of the screen, a giant organge, semi-opaque box appears over the left 50% of the screen -- could someone tell me what it's doing? | 05:06 |
| khayyam | all I see is a quick launch bar | 05:07 |
| grandy | khayyam: hmm, on mine this orange area appears some of the time and i can't figure out what it's doing... it's unlike any UI I've seen | 05:08 |
| K`zan | Hi folks, is is just me or is something funky with the firefox update today? Within about 5 minutes of doing the update everything hung up and it looks like my /boot went away. | 05:08 |
| khayyam | grandy that sounds kinda like uhmm.... your mouse key is activated? | 05:08 |
| khayyam | like when you move windows to the left and right of the desktop something like that appears usually | 05:09 |
| khayyam | grandy, do you have a mousepad? maybe it's clicked in | 05:09 |
| khayyam | does ubuntu 11.10 have a programs list ? | 05:10 |
| grandy | khayyam: oh maybe that's it, but that isn't doing anything, it doesn't let me slide windows to the next desktop | 05:10 |
| grandy | yeah that's exactly what the thing looks like | 05:10 |
| grandy | so something must be triggering it | 05:10 |
| khayyam | i don't believe that's what it's for grandy, its for putting a window on the right or left half of your current desktop | 05:10 |
| khayyam | displaying* | 05:11 |
| khayyam | this must be a bad time for support :P | 05:11 |
| grandy | it looks like the regular way that the screen highligts when you want to drag a window, but it just doesn't go away | 05:11 |
| khayyam | did you try restarting? | 05:12 |
| khayyam | is there a way to start a program with the terminal but have the terminal close? | 05:13 |
| khayyam | w/out closing the program | 05:13 |

| urlin2u | !nounity | thetentmaker | 05:43 |
| ubottu | thetentmaker: 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 | 05:43 |
| glioros | also gnome connection manager seems to not work on the latest version ubuntu guys | 05:43 |

| bjrohan | I am a Linux newbie. I am running a dual boot laptop. As I migrate from Windows to Ubunto I have cleaned off more of my windows partition. Today I repartitioned my windows drive, giving me unallocated space. While trying to increase my Linux partition (via live CD) I inadvertantly copied my Linux partition to the unallocated space. My question is, now what do I do? Where is that new partition mounted inside Ubuntu, and what is the best way | 06:32 |
| bjrohan | to use it? | 06:32 |
| ridinvintage | Alright, what I have is my laptop connected to my wireless and I am sharing the connection with my xbox using the Network Manager. What I need to do is have the ports on eth0 be open so my xbox will have an open NAT. | 06:32 |

| urlin2u | Tomasso, lol seek professional help. | 06:40 |
| bjrohan | urlin2u in Gparted I right clicked the original Linux partion, and an option of move/resize was presented. It wouldn't let me increase the size, only decrease, so I selected move. it asked where I wanted to move to, I clicked the unallocated spot, and it appears to have copied it. Now running gparted while in Ubuntu, it shows /dev/SDA1 /dev/sda3 (was unallocated and 60GB)/dev/sda5 and /dev/sda6. right now /dev/sda5 is locked | 06:41 |
| Tomasso | mm i did .. but anyway i get tempted.. xvideos is driving me mad | 06:41 |
| bjrohan | urlin2u mounted rather than locked. Where would /dev/sda3 me mounted if at all, so I can see if original partition was copied to it, or if it was just formatted | 06:42 |
| urlin2u | bjrohan, take a screen shot of gparted and imagebin it. | 06:44 |

However, if I search the debian package search, I see 0.094, i.e. a much higher version. This got me wondering: my /etc/apt/sources.list still has entries for jaunty and karmic. Does apt-get dist-upgrade upgrade me to Ocelot? | 07:00 |
| bjrohan | mcc what is "df" | 07:01 |

| kke | i'm not sure if i want a full blown mysterious cloud thing. what i would like to have is something a bit like ESXi, one quite simple host os with some ui/webui for deploying vm's (perhaps to multiple servers).. should i go with openstack, try my luck with ganeti or eucalyptus or what not, or is there something else? | 07:58 |
| Lasers | Milos|Netbook: How did you attempt to disable it? | 07:59 |
| Milos|Netbook | Lasers, /etc/init.d/uwf stop to stop which didn't work so I tried sudo service ufw disable | 07:59 |
| TheElusiveTool | any other way to go back the the gdm login? | 07:59 |
| shashi-kant | this is better | 08:00 |
| Lasers | Milos|Netbook: Try "sudo ufw disable" ? | 08:00 |
| TheElusiveTool | ??? | 08:00 |
| Lasers | TheElusiveTool: Upgrading always blows for some reason. Something always go wrong. :( | 08:01 |
| TheElusiveTool | tell me about it | 08:01 |
| TheElusiveTool | was just curious about kubuntu | 08:02 |
| TheElusiveTool | now i'm stuck with the kdm login | 08:02 |

| shashi-kant | hi | 08:03 |
| TheElusiveTool | okay lasers it's removing | 08:03 |
| TheElusiveTool | that's alot of packages | 08:03 |
| Lasers | TheElusiveTool: What packages? o.O | 08:04 |
| === jason is now known as Guest15520 | ||
| Lasers | TheElusiveTool: All KPackages? | 08:04 |
| TheElusiveTool | yeah | 08:04 |
| TheElusiveTool | well i hope so | 08:04 |
| TheElusiveTool | ;) | 08:04 |
| Lasers | TheElusiveTool: Cool. I hope so too. You could do "sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm" and select gdm (if you have more than one display manager installed). | 08:04 |
| antonio_ | Good morning from spain | 08:05 |
| TheElusiveTool | i tried that | 08:05 |
| TheElusiveTool | every time i choose gdm | 08:05 |
| TheElusiveTool | i log out and log in | 08:05 |
| Milos|Netbook | Lasers, I'm just waiting on my friend who needs the help. Will that remove it from startup also or do I need to use update-rc.d to do that? | 08:05 |
| TheElusiveTool | or restart | 08:05 |
| TheElusiveTool | the kdm login always comes back | 08:05 |
| TheElusiveTool | even after removing kdm | 08:05 |
| TheElusiveTool | and there's no kdm to select | 08:05 |
| TheElusiveTool | kdm login is still there | 08:05 |
| Lasers | Milos|Netbook: I don't use ufw much. I'm already behind the router. | 08:06 |

| barecracker | hi i am using webchat.freenode.net, how do i set all the in and out messages to ignore? thx | 08:06 |
| Milos|Netbook | Lasers, I just wish ubuntu came with nothing pre-installed. I could probably find such an install | 08:07 |
| Lasers | barecracker: What IRC client? | 08:07 |
| Lasers | !minimal | Milos|Netbook | 08:07 |
| ubottu | Milos|Netbook: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 08:07 |
| barecracker | lasers: webchat.freenode.net | 08:07 |
| barecracker | it's jus a webpage | 08:07 |
| barecracker | not client | 08:07 |
| Lasers | barecracker: Well, that's not a real client. The features are there only if they added it. | 08:07 |
| Milos|Netbook | :O | 08:07 |
| Milos|Netbook | Thanks for the Lasers! | 08:07 |
| antonio_ | just a question: i have tried tu run an application from the dash of my oneiric, and i've realized taht most frecuently used applications have disappeared. Is it right, or is it a bug in my ubuntu? Thank you! | 08:08 |
| Lasers | Milos|Netbook: I haven't used that for long time, but yeah, avoid the metapackages (ie ubuntu-desktop) and install things as you go from scratch. | 08:08 |
| barecracker | more than half of the message on my screen are joining and quitting messages | 08:08 |
| Milos|Netbook | Lasers, thankies. | 08:08 |
| Milos|Netbook | Lasers, that's exactly what he'd need. Superb. | 08:08 |
| Lasers | barecracker: I understand. You shouldn't use webchat.freenode.net (web) as a permanent solution to IRC. :) | 08:09 |
| barecracker | lasers: okay thanks | 08:09 |
| barecracker | exit | 08:09 |

| solofight | the new ubuntu sucks. i liked the old menu, dashboard, desktop very much than this side bar thing. How do i revert it back without changing the os version ? i am currently having (11.10) | 08:16 |
| wink888 | hi all i am actually looking at using ubuntu running as a live OS running 3g and recording information back to centeral server | 08:17 |
| wink888 | can anyone give me some initial thoughts to if this will work | 08:18 |
| TheElusiveTool | no luck lasers | 08:18 |
| TheElusiveTool | still kdm | 08:18 |
| wink888 | also is it possible ot have the OS just boot directly to my application using the live OS from USB install? | 08:19 |
| barecracker | Q: under the new ubuntu, how can i browser file folders with a "detailed" view, not just icons? | 08:19 |
| Lasers | TheElusiveTool: lasers didn't trigger me. People kept killing each others with lasers. :( Can't you go with a clean installation? | 08:19 |
| solofight | an for the worst part the synaptic crashes in the latest version and has been reported as a bug | 08:20 |
| solofight | :( | 08:20 |
| TheElusiveTool | Lasers: reinstall from scratch? | 08:20 |
| barecracker | i want to be able to see the file size/extension type/modification date etc | 08:20 |
| r0sk | Hey, morning all! | 08:20 |
| r0sk | anyone has ubuntu running on macbook 2.1? | 08:21 |
| Lasers | TheElusiveTool: If it's bothering you that much, yeah. Well, try running "sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm" again. Also. Try a forced reinstallation of the package 'gdm' | 08:21 |
| TheElusiveTool | i used apt-get remove gdm, then reinstalled it | 08:21 |
| Lasers | TheElusiveTool: Wait. You're on latest Ubuntu? You surely mean lightdm? | 08:21 |
| wink888 | is there a limitation to running ubuntu from a USB drive? Can I save my customisations for the next time it runs? | 08:21 |
| TheElusiveTool | no i chose gdm in the reconfigure-gdm | 08:22 |
| TheElusiveTool | there were two options, gdm, and lightdm | 08:22 |
| TheElusiveTool | i read something about a gdm2 | 08:22 |
| TheElusiveTool | online | 08:22 |
| barecracker | hi, how can i browser file folders with a "detailed list" view under 11.10 ? | 08:24 |
| barecracker | not just icons | 08:24 |
| dalek_ | I am getting choppy/jerk-o-vision playback of ALL video formats on Totem movie player... However this worked fine before I had to do a major re-install... so I must be missing something which I still need to install. Any ideas? | 08:24 |
| JapyDooge | i guess they removed the buttons for that in 11.10 to make it look 'cleaner'? :P graphics over usability \o/ | 08:24 |
| TheElusiveTool | Lasers: what did you mean by lightdm | 08:25 |
| JapyDooge | dalek_: mpeg/mp3 codecs? are also used for audio decoding | 08:25 |
| Newbeeans | does anyone have the proper wiki/help page on how to uninstall Ubuntu? It takes me 12-15 seconds for all programs to respond to ticks. My pc doesn't seem to be able to handle it. | 08:25 |
| barecracker | japy: were u answering? but the graphics are still much to be desired | 08:25 |
| barecracker | answering me .. | 08:25 |
| SunTzu | Newbeeans what's the cpu speed? | 08:25 |
| wink888 | anyone running ubuntu from live USB? can you configure changes and install apps on it and then it will be there on the next run? | 08:25 |
| JapyDooge | yea well just talking random about your question barecracker :) i have no idea tbh, didnt try 11.10 that well yet | 08:26 |
| SunTzu | Newbeeans how much real ram is installed? | 08:26 |
| Lasers | TheElusiveTool: What version are you on? | 08:26 |
| TheElusiveTool | 11.10 | 08:26 |
| JapyDooge | but i'll check my VM with 11.10 :) | 08:26 |
| dalek_ | JapyDooge, Is there a list somewhere of every codec/package I should have installed to get video playback working 100%? | 08:26 |
| Newbeeans | SunTzu: I'm not sure. I don't have it fired up right now. 2GB ram | 08:26 |
| JapyDooge | not that i'm aware of dalek_ | 08:26 |
| JapyDooge | there might be some information on a wiki / forum | 08:26 |
| TheElusiveTool | coneiric | 08:27 |
| Lasers | TheElusiveTool: Then you have been using lightdm. gdm is not used in 11.10 | 08:27 |
| Lasers | !lightdm | TheElusiveTool | 08:27 |
| TheElusiveTool | when i first upgraded to 11.10 i had a nice gdm login | 08:27 |
| Lasers | !info lightdm | TheElusiveTool | 08:27 |
| ubottu | TheElusiveTool: lightdm (source: lightdm): Display Manager. In component main, is optional. Version 1.0.6-0ubuntu1 (oneiric), package size 94 kB, installed size 428 kB | 08:27 |
| Lasers | TheElusiveTool: That's lightdm. | 08:27 |
| Lasers | TheElusiveTool: Install that. | 08:27 |
| barecracker | in terms of graphics interface, it's such's a let down for windows 7 users when swtiching to 11.10 | 08:27 |
| SunTzu | Newbeeans get a PM | 08:28 |
| JapyDooge | barecracker: :) move your mouse over the top bar and go to the View -> List option there | 08:28 |
| chaospsychex | barecracker: ? are you saying the interface is worse in 11.10 ? | 08:28 |
| TheElusiveTool | Reading state information... Done | 08:28 |
| TheElusiveTool | lightdm is already the newest version. | 08:28 |
| chaospsychex | the win7 interface is crap | 08:28 |
| chaospsychex | file explorer is crap | 08:28 |
| barecracker | it's never any good | 08:28 |
| Lasers | TheElusiveTool: Try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm" and see if anything came up. | 08:28 |
| barecracker | japy: thx | 08:28 |
| JapyDooge | well its a matter of taste imo :-) but i like Windows 7 GUI more than Unity | 08:28 |
| chaospsychex | your crazy as hell, unity may suck yes, but you haven't seen gnome3 | 08:29 |
| JapyDooge | np bare | 08:29 |
| JapyDooge | lol | 08:29 |
| JapyDooge | thats true | 08:29 |
| chaospsychex | the regular gnome3 blows win7 gui away | 08:29 |

| barecracker | win7 interface is sleek and stable | 08:30 |
| chaospsychex | ;-P | 08:30 |
| JapyDooge | chaospsychex: don't take it that personal, i'm only saying that its a matter of taste :) you dont have to start getting personal :P | 08:30 |
| barecracker | i honestly say it rocks | 08:30 |
| chaospsychex | lol | 08:30 |
| TheElusiveTool | Lasers: it came up with the same menu as reconfigure gdm | 08:30 |
| TheElusiveTool | i chose gdm again | 08:30 |
| TheElusiveTool | try logoff again? | 08:30 |
| danub | hey all. i got apache installed, but for some reason it is reading the /etc/apache2/apache2.conf.dpkg-dist instead of /etc/apache2/apache.conf. why is it doing that? | 08:31 |
| barecracker | what bugs me is that when unbuntu did the unity swtich, they had all the time to learn from win7 | 08:31 |
| Lasers | TheElusiveTool: You can't select lightdm? Just gdm? | 08:31 |
| === JimmyJ_ is now known as JimmyJ | ||
| barecracker | but they didn't come up with a better one | 08:31 |
| TheElusiveTool | no i can select both | 08:31 |

| TheElusiveTool | when i select lightdm i get :dpkg-maintscript-helper: warning: environment variable DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_NAME missing | 08:32 |
| TheElusiveTool | dpkg-maintscript-helper: warning: environment variable DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_PACKAGE missing | 08:32 |
| Lasers | TheElusiveTool: I think it's a confirmed bug. | 08:33 |
| JapyDooge | is it possible to move the unity-bar to the bottom? | 08:33 |
| barecracker | japy: i got it .. the menu bar only shows up when i mouse over it at top | 08:33 |
| Lasers | TheElusiveTool: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/706354 (with debconf or dpkg package) | 08:33 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 706354 in ntp (Ubuntu) "dpkg-maintscript-helper: warning: environment variable DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_PACKAGE missing" [Low,Confirmed] | 08:33 |
| barecracker | i was searching all over for it and almost wanted to smash my laptop in frustraction | 08:33 |
| JapyDooge | yep barecracker thats a way to make the userinterface more minimalistic, but i have the feeling that they might have looked a little bit at Mac OS X with this new GUI design :-) | 08:33 |
| Newbeeans | Do I need a certain uninstall procedure to go to a lighter distro? | 08:34 |
| Lasers | TheElusiveTool: Therefore it affects lightdm too. Don't worry about it. That's norm for using somewhat-latest of Ubuntu. | 08:34 |
| Gentoo64 | Newbeeans, you dont uninstall | 08:34 |
| barecracker | japy: they want it to be all interface for all, pc and tablets etc | 08:34 |
| Lasers | Newbeeans: You install it from scratch. Not the other way. | 08:34 |
| JapyDooge | Newbeeans: if you want to move to another distro, usually you just install it over this one and choose to format the drive during installation of that distro. You will loose personal data then tho, except when /home is in a different partition and you choose to not reformat that one | 08:34 |
| Newbeeans | I see. | 08:35 |
| TheElusiveTool | Lasers: so there is no apparent fix yet | 08:35 |
| JapyDooge | barecracker: yea that doesnt work. i'm afraid Microsoft is making the same fault with Windows 8 tho, the 'one interface for all' is unpossible | 08:35 |
| JapyDooge | i don't see myself developing on a touchscreen :D | 08:35 |
| Lasers | TheElusiveTool: Right. It was reported and confirmed not long ago. | 08:35 |
| JapyDooge | Newbeeans: the alternative is to make Ubuntu lighter | 08:35 |
| Newbeeans | Thanks...I'm going to play with that for awhile...good info as always | 08:35 |
| TheElusiveTool | well that sucks | 08:35 |
| JapyDooge | for example switch to another WM. | 08:36 |
| TheElusiveTool | i'm not reinstalling! | 08:36 |
| szal | TheElusiveTool: is there anything about lightdm that doesn't work? if there isn't, just ignore the warning, perhaps file a bug to have that fixed for 12.04 | 08:36 |
| Newbeeans | :) | 08:36 |
| Lasers | TheElusiveTool: Also, lightdm, gdm, kdm, etc. You only see them for few seconds. You can ignore it. | 08:36 |
| JapyDooge | if you want real light ones, you might want to look at fluxbox, xfce, icewm, etc | 08:36 |
| JapyDooge | too late >.< | 08:36 |
| TheElusiveTool | besides the kdm issue it's running great. even got conky working | 08:37 |
| szal | what's lightdm got to do w/ kdm now? | 08:38 |
| TheElusiveTool | no i was trying to use the gdm login instead of kdm login | 08:39 |
| Lasers | szal: He tried KDE. Does not like it. Uninstalled everything. KDM is still there for some reason. | 08:39 |
| maum | what is ctrl+t for on ubuntu 11.10 | 08:40 |
| szal | then he forgot to uninstall it.. simple | 08:40 |
| Lasers | szal: Feel free to help him. :) | 08:40 |
| TheElusiveTool | lol | 08:40 |
| TheElusiveTool | i uninstalled all kde packages | 08:41 |
| JapyDooge | hm how do i install gnome classic on 11.10? :) | 08:41 |
| JapyDooge | looks like aptitude is gone and apt-get doesnt support 'search' | 08:41 |
| Lasers | !notunity | JapyDooge | 08:42 |
| ubottu | JapyDooge: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 08:42 |
| quiescens | JapyDooge: the traditional search for apt is apt-cache search (pattern here) | 08:42 |
| szal | JapyDooge: aptitude is alive & kicking, and for apt it's 'apt-cache search' | 08:42 |
| JapyDooge | thank you Lasers :) | 08:42 |
| quiescens | JapyDooge: there is of course also probably nothing stopping you from apt-get install aptitude | 08:42 |
| JapyDooge | quiescens: aptitude isnt installed by default on 11.10 | 08:42 |
| JapyDooge | true | 08:43 |
| quiescens | JapyDooge: i know, i'm saying you can search with apt-cache search (stuff) | 08:43 |
| quiescens | JapyDooge: or just choose to install aptitude if you want | 08:43 |
| Lasers | Or make aliases! | 08:43 |
| JapyDooge | bah, Canonical should make up their mind on this one :P before i had to switch from apt-get to aptitude (or i was getting messages that this method of installing stuff was depricated) and now aptitude is gone :P argl | 08:43 |
| JapyDooge | but thanks for all that information =) | 08:43 |

| qbitza | That's not booting from a live cd - booting from the live cd should allow you to run Ubuntu without any installation | 08:57 |
| qbitza | Yes | 08:57 |
| Lasers | oddy_: Did you do anything before that happen? o.O | 08:58 |

| BlauskaerM | Isnt there a disktest on the live CD? | 09:00 |
| qbitza | Should be | 09:00 |

| Vustom | to occur* | 09:03 |
| BlauskaerM | oddy_: There should be a HDD test on the live cd, use that test to config that the disk is not damaged | 09:03 |
| oddy_ | BlauskaerM: I'm trying the liveCD now, wait a min | 09:05 |
| szal | BlauskaerM: the live CD doesn't even have smartmontools | 09:06 |

| n1mda | Ubuntu 11.10. I ran apt-get remove compiz, but after a restart my desktop does not show up. What do I do to fix it? Other than installing compiz again, I don't want it | 09:12 |
| oddy_ | BlauskaerM:I'm trying to access /, but it tells me "unable to mount, Error mounting: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda5" | 09:13 |
| BlauskaerM | n1mda: Did apt-get also remove gnome when you removed compiz? | 09:13 |
| ksx4system | it's not possible to move from left side to right side of screen, am I right? | 09:14 |
| BlauskaerM | oddy_: Then your disk is broken, the super block is the block in the disk that stores the partiotiontable | 09:14 |
| caesar_ | anyone know how to unlock svn folder? | 09:14 |
| n1mda | ah yes it seems so BlauskaerM. Should i install the package "gnome" again? | 09:14 |
| BlauskaerM | n1mda: you can try, or just use KDE :P | 09:15 |
| oddy_ | BlauskaerM: does that mean I have to install a new system ? | 09:15 |
| BlauskaerM | oddy_: I think so =/ | 09:15 |
| n1mda | why would compiz remove gnome? that makes no sense | 09:15 |

| quiescens | i don't recall any issue with removing firefox causing gnome to be removed | 09:17 |

| deej1976 | glda19: I would say when the ubuntu Thunderbird maintainers are happy with their packaging | 09:19 |
| Lasers | oddy_: Why not? | 09:19 |
| deej1976 | glda19: You could always download from mozilla and run. | 09:20 |
| oddy_ | Lasers: do you mean, I can save everything even the my programs? | 09:20 |
| glda19 | deej1976, it's out now for windows | 09:20 |
| Lasers | oddy_: You can rescue personal file, documents, etc. But as for programs, you can reinstall them from Internet. | 09:20 |
| oddy_ | Lasers: don't reinstall would remove all the installed software?? | 09:20 |
| deej1976 | glda19: It's out now for linux if you download and install manually | 09:21 |
| Lasers | !latest | glda19 | 09:21 |
| ubottu | glda19: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. | 09:21 |
| oddy_ | Lasers: aha | 09:21 |
| oddy_ | Lasers: don't you have any idea how can i fix it, or even find the way to fix it? | 09:21 |
| glda19 | djee1976 but how can i install it on the same place where the ppa does it | 09:22 |
| deej1976 | glda19: You can extract in your homearea and run from they while waiting for the official upgrade in the repo | 09:23 |
| Lasers | oddy_: It require an Internet conncetion (or 10.04.3 LTS Disc). You can recover your personal/important files. Move them to different/secondary hard drive. Install a fresh copy of Ubuntu on the first hard drive. | 09:23 |

| _Rod2k | Hi guys. I want to set up a new connection on Ubuntu. I'm trying to make my cellphone to use the internet connection from my computer. Looking for it on Ubuntu help and this is all I came up with: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/internet/C/connecting-mobile.html | 09:25 |
| Lasers | oddy_: It is possible. Yes. I just don't want to get into it because it would enable me to search forums and archives for hours. | 09:25 |
| oddy_ | Lasers: then tell me what to search about, and I'll do it | 09:26 |
| Lasers | oddy_: ubuntu busybox recovery, for starters. | 09:27 |
| _Rod2k | My question is, is it possible to use bluetooth or USB internet from my computer on the cellphone using Ubuntu? Anyone tried it already? | 09:27 |
| ksx4system | one more time: what happened to Unity after installing and running compizconfig-settings-manager? | 09:27 |
| oddy_ | Lasers: ok, thank you | 09:28 |
| Lasers | _Rod2k: It is possible but my BT phone does not have Internet plan. :) | 09:28 |
| ksx4system | and how to fix it? | 09:28 |
| crocket | Does ubuntu have a kernel patch that enables mdf support in mount? | 09:28 |
| ksx4system | Unity's 3D dashboard and launcher doesn't start with X session | 09:28 |
| _Rod2k | Lasers, you got me wrong. I mean for the cellphone to use the PC's internet. | 09:28 |
| _Rod2k | Lasers, not the other way. | 09:29 |
| Lasers | _Rod2k: Ah I see. I have no clue. | 09:29 |
| _Rod2k | Isn't there a way to set up a bridge connection between Ubuntu and the phone in order to let the phone to use the pc-internet-connection? Or at least a program...anything? | 09:31 |
| Lasers | _Rod2k: Well. Do you even know if your phone can use Internet through BT (from computer?) | 09:32 |
| Lasers | _Rod2k: Some smartphones can do Wifi. It really varies on phone models (and linux/Windows/Mac). | 09:33 |
| _Rod2k | Lasers Yeah but my phone lacks Wi-fi. All I got is BT. And AFAIK it does use the pc's COM port to use dial-up network and PAN. | 09:33 |
| rykka | hi everyone. mupdf ,anyone knows how to make j/k to view next page? | 09:34 |

| ironhalik | are there any aptitude extensions? Something that would give it some yum or emerge features? | 09:36 |
| _Rod2k | Lasers, On windows I tried GnuBox and M-Router. After that I tried Bluesoleil and Hiisi Suite. Nothing worked. | 09:36 |
| _Rod2k | I mean, they did work out-of-the-box for me, but in the end I got no internet running on my phone (Nokia 5233) | 09:37 |
| Lasers | _Rod2k: I have Nokia X2. I'll try it. | 09:38 |

| ironhalik | deej1976: Im thinking about more readable output like in yum, and nice package summaries in search, like in gentoo :> | 09:42 |
| JapyDooge | install zip or unzip | 09:42 |
| JapyDooge | 7zip is for the 7z format | 09:43 |

| Vustom | JapyDooge: That's odd.. the file is listed in the .zip but it's got an odd name; I'll take a screenshot to show you | 09:46 |

| JapyDooge | you can give that a try indeed, do you have a download link? | 09:58 |
| quiescens | technically unzip will probably extract it fine | 09:58 |
| quiescens | but you did use unzip -t | 09:58 |

| JapyDooge | quiescens: i asked him to do that :) he tried it normally before | 09:59 |
| Vustom | hmm | 10:00 |
| Vustom | I will go on Windows to extract it :) | 10:00 |
| JapyDooge | Vustom: if you like i can download, extract, repackage on an US system | 10:00 |

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 | 10:20 |

| Alives | how can i tell which configure options a binary in a .deb was compiled with? | 11:09 |
| soreau | ! work | Myth17 | 11:09 |
| ubottu | Myth17: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 11:09 |

| soreau | Alives: You'd have to review the log for the package using packages.ubuntu.com | 11:10 |

| Alives | ok thanks | 11:10 |
| === theia is now known as tomaw | ||
| Myth17 | soreau, ahh, i mean has no effect! :| | 11:10 |
| soreau | Alives: What package on what distro and arch? | 11:10 |
| soreau | Myth17: Do you have any bios settings related to wifi? | 11:10 |
| Alives | irssi, lucid, amd64 | 11:11 |

| mosdef100200 | Hi Bonhoffer I use in 10.10 of Ubuntu Administration > Preferred applications > | 11:11 |
| bonhoffer | mosdef100200, thanks! | 11:11 |
| Alives | soreau: i just switched to xterm and the irssi colors are a bit off... trying to see what the issue is... apparently there is a configure switch you need to pass so irssi knows to use 256 colors | 11:11 |
| phlak_user | SubNormal, can you ping that? | 11:11 |
| daurnimator | ActionParsnip: eventually got it working with file->connect to server | 11:12 |
| bonhoffer | hmm . . . 11.10 -- is different mosdef100200 | 11:12 |

| mosdef100200 | oh well sorry mate! good luck | 11:12 |
| bonhoffer | thanks to you | 11:12 |
| soreau | Alives: Hang on, let me try to remember where it's hiding | 11:12 |
| SubNormal | phlak_user nope | 11:12 |
| phlak_user | SubNormal, does the route command show default route 0.0.0.0 as 192.168.111.1 ? | 11:13 |
| Alives | soreau: here is the problem i am having, illustrated in the screenshots: http://screenshots.debian.net/package/irssi ... notice how the statusbar on one is darkblue and light blue on the other? mine is light blue now and hard to read since switching to xterm color profile instead of linux-console... im trying to get it to be dark blue again | 11:14 |
| phlak_user | SubNormal, it should look like this -> 0.0.0.0 192.168.111.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 | 11:14 |
| soreau | Alives: In that case, you might try #irssi | 11:14 |
| jrib | Alives: change the color profile back? | 11:15 |
| Alives | soreau: yeah im there too... they asked me what configure options irssi was compiled with, so thats why im here | 11:15 |
| soreau | Alives: ok, still looking | 11:15 |
| lucian | hello. my thinkpad e325 doesn't seem to want to boot from my ubuntu usb drive, what else could I do? | 11:15 |
| Alives | jrib: xterm color profile is much more preferred for all other progs, vim, bash, etc... it accurately reports the colors | 11:15 |
| Alives | lucian: how did you build the usb drive to make it bootable? | 11:16 |
| phlak_user | lucian, check with another usb drive | 11:16 |
| Myth17 | soreau, BIOS settings.hmm I will have to check. :| | 11:16 |
| lazbig | hi | 11:16 |
| jrib | Alives: well presumably irssi uses color X and you've changed color X. Either don't use color X for that part of irssi (i.e. modify your irssi theme) or change color X | 11:16 |
| Alives | jrib: yeah i know... i cant get it to display colors properly in xterm... which term do you use? | 11:16 |
| jrib | Alives: rxvt-unicode but I use weechat | 11:17 |
| simion314 | phlak_user: hi, yes it has a firewall, but why it would work some times and why work on my old kubuntyu(kmail is other version there), anyway i do not have many options in that firewall, i enabled allowed all packets to get to the internet | 11:17 |
| Alives | yeah i just tried rxvt and ti works! | 11:17 |
| SubNormal | phlak_user here http://pastebin.com/N4Cexnmx just wrote it up | 11:17 |
| lazbig | how to allow it? | 11:17 |
| mario12 | hallo | 11:18 |
| phlak_user | SubNormal, ok that shows you dont have a default route setup; | 11:18 |
| [PanzeR]DzaDze | i want from this: http://pic.mk/images/screenrtr.png, to make it like this: http://pic.mk/images/screenqxq.png | 11:18 |
| SubNormal | phlak_user hm ok, what should I do then? | 11:18 |
| [PanzeR]DzaDze | i want to make the menu from this: http://pic.mk/images/screenrtr.png, to be like this: http://pic.mk/images/screenqxq.png | 11:19 |
| [PanzeR]DzaDze | how to do that ? | 11:19 |
| Myth17 | soreau, couldnt find anything relevant in bios | 11:19 |
| phlak_user | SubNormal, for now you can use the route command to add the default route like so -> sudo route add -n 0.0.0.0 gw 192.168.111.1 | 11:19 |
| simion314 | is there a command that can list the firewall on the router open/closed ports?(i am not sure if the pc could have access to firewall in the router) | 11:19 |
| soreau | Myth17: Is it an hp laptop by chance? | 11:20 |
| lucian | Alives: with http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3, as the website suggested | 11:20 |
| lucian | it's one of those UEFI laptops | 11:20 |
| ActionParsnip | simion314: could use nmap and scan the interface | 11:20 |
| Myth17 | soreau, no a sony vaio | 11:20 |
| soreau | Myth17: Not really sure then. What happens when you try rfkill? | 11:20 |
| Alives | lucian: ah so it hasnt ever worked | 11:20 |
| Alives | lucian: try the ubuntu startup disk creator under system -> administration | 11:21 |
| Alives | see if that works | 11:21 |
| lucian | Alives: no, it hasn't suddenly stopped working | 11:21 |
| phlak_user | SubNormal, you need to add the route command in the /etc/network/interfaces file like so -> up route add -net 0.0.0.0 gw 192.168.111.1 dev eth1 | 11:21 |
| ActionParsnip | lucian: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? | 11:21 |
| lucian | ActionParsnip: nope | 11:21 |
| phlak_user | SubNormal, oops the route add command is -net not -n | 11:21 |
| ActionParsnip | lucian: then how do you know it was complete and consistant? | 11:22 |
| phlak_user | SubNormal, sudo route add -net 0.0.0.0 gw 192.168.111.1 | 11:22 |
| Alives | lucian: i assume it uses grub... you could try to re-install grub on it, not with apt-get, but with grub-install | 11:22 |
| lucian | ActionParsnip: i don't | 11:22 |
| ActionParsnip | !md5 | lucian | 11:22 |
| ubottu | lucian: 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 | 11:22 |
| lucian | Alives: but i can't boot anything other than windows, how could i install grub on it in the first place? | 11:22 |
| Alives | ActionParsnip: hes not doing that though he says it used to work and all of a sudden stopped... im assuming due to a new kernel being installed and a re-run of grub-install | 11:22 |
| Myth17 | soreau, its just executes with no effect | 11:23 |
| Myth17 | :| | 11:23 |
| simion314 | ActionParsnip: what should i scan with nmap the router IP? | 11:23 |
| Alives | lucian: everything needs a bootloader though, so it has to have grub, lilo, or ntldr | 11:23 |
| lucian | Alives: no, i'm saying it hasn't suddenly stopped. I'm just trying now, on a brand new laptop | 11:23 |
| Alives | lucian: oh, well try startup disk creator first then | 11:23 |
| lucian | but yeah, i'll check the image too | 11:23 |
| Alives | if that works then you know you can boot off usb and all that | 11:23 |
| soreau | Myth17: After that, did you try enabling the physical switch? | 11:23 |
| Alives | you might be able to even boot off usb and reinstall to usb with that | 11:23 |
| ActionParsnip | simion314: that isn't a full question | 11:24 |
| lucian | Alives: as i said, i used the windows util from pendrivelinux. I'll try the ubuntu one as soon as i have an image on an ubuntu machine | 11:25 |
| Alives | ah i see now | 11:25 |
| simion314 | ActionParsnip: i installed nmap ,looked at man and i see an example nmap -A -T4 scanme.nmap.org , my question is how to use it for my case? see the router open ports | 11:25 |
| ActionParsnip | simion314: if you scan the router for open ports you can see what is open and closed | 11:25 |
| soreau | Alives: No wonder, it's on launchpad https://launchpadlibrarian.net/44546172/buildlog_ubuntu-lucid-amd64.irssi_0.8.14-1ubuntu4_FULLYBUILT.txt.gz | 11:25 |
| ActionParsnip | simion314: use your routers WAN IP | 11:26 |
| go8765 | Hello. Can anybody please help me with LO-impress? I have in one slide many effects that work good(and 3 mowing too) and have 1 effect(moving) that dоnt work. And when I make the same slide - moving dont work in all times | 11:26 |
| soreau | ugh | 11:26 |
| Myth17 | soreau, yeah, I did. it shows phy0 and sony-wifi softblocked no but acer-wireless softblock yes | 11:26 |
| soreau | Myth17: I'm not really sure then | 11:27 |
| dyd | someone can tell me a good mail client for ubuntu? | 11:28 |
| soreau | dyd: evolution or thunderbird to name a couple | 11:29 |
| ActionParsnip | 11:29 | |
| daurnimator | how can I do a make install? | 11:29 |
| ActionParsnip | dyd: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/list-of-email-clients-available-in-ubuntu-linux.html | 11:29 |
| phlak_user | daurnimator, by typing sudo make install | 11:29 |
| daurnimator | ==> I tried sudo make install; but apparently I have permission denied | 11:29 |
| deej1976 | dyd: claws-mail for something different | 11:30 |
| dyd | soreau: i am using evolution, but i don't like the way it organizes mail, i just don't want "groups" of mails, but just the last one on the top | 11:30 |
| phlak_user | dyd, you can turn off threaded view in evolution; i use it too | 11:30 |
| soreau | dyd: Yea, claws-mail is another one | 11:30 |
| ActionParsnip | dyd: thunderbird is fairly simple, claws is good too :) | 11:30 |
| daurnimator | $sudo make install ===> make: stat: makefile: Permission denied ====> make: *** No rule to make target install. Stop. | 11:30 |
| Nertskull | Does anyone know if VNC clients can connect to the freenx protocol? Just like they would w/ VNC? | 11:30 |
| usuario | what? | 11:31 |
| phlak_user | Nertskull, they dont; but the remote desktop tool does | 11:31 |
| soreau | daurnimator: You're probably not in the right directory. What are you trying to install? | 11:31 |
| deej1976 | dyd: mutt, used all the time until force to use M$ exchange | 11:31 |
| usuario | was a hiff+ | 11:31 |
| Nertskull | phlak_user: thanks | 11:31 |
| soreau | ! freenx | Nertskull | 11:31 |
| ubottu | Nertskull: FreeNX is advanced remote desktop technology. For more information and install instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX | 11:31 |
| dyd | thanks | 11:31 |
| daurnimator | soreau: the problem is that root doesn't have permission to the dir I'm in | 11:31 |
| soreau | daurnimator: What are you trying to install? | 11:31 |
| phlak_user | daurnimator, thats a new one :) | 11:32 |
| daurnimator | soreau: doesn't matter; root can't cd or ls the dir | 11:32 |
| soreau | daurnimator: then you're screwed | 11:32 |
| daurnimator | phlak_user: its under /home/<me>/.gvfs | 11:32 |
| lucian | ActionParsnip: image hash matches, that wasn't it | 11:32 |
| [PanzeR]DzaDze | anyone ? | 11:32 |
| phlak_user | daurnimator, can you copy it to somewhere like /usr/src or /usr/local/src | 11:32 |
| ActionParsnip | lucian: cool, please check in future. Makes sure the download wasn't corrupted in transit | 11:33 |
| chabi | please save me I have an application which is crashing all timee | 11:33 |
| ActionParsnip | chabi: which app? | 11:33 |
| chabi | kile | 11:33 |
| daurnimator | phlak_user: I'd rather not; but I can.. | 11:33 |
| phlak_user | daurnimator, why? | 11:33 |
| daurnimator | the problem seems to be that root can't access the .gvfs dir | 11:34 |
| lazbig | hi | 11:34 |
| chabi | so what can I do? | 11:34 |
| ActionParsnip | daurnimator: whom is the owner of the folder? | 11:34 |
| lazbig | i want some help | 11:34 |
| daurnimator | phlak_user: cause then I have to copy it all off my network drive each time I want to install | 11:34 |
| chabi | which? | 11:34 |
| phlak_user | daurnimator, why do you want to install it each time? | 11:34 |
| daurnimator | ActionParsnip: ? | 11:34 |
| ActionParsnip | chabi: if you run it in a terminal, what is output (pastebin the output if any isgenerated) | 11:34 |
| daurnimator | as in, the owner in la -la is actually ? | 11:35 |
| chabi | ok i will report you the error | 11:35 |
| daurnimator | *ls -la | 11:35 |
| phlak_user | daurnimator, and i wouldnt try to compile anything off a network drive | 11:35 |
| chabi | no problem | 11:35 |
| chabi | just give me one minute | 11:35 |
| ActionParsnip | daurnimator: what is the output of: ls -l ~/.gvfs | 11:35 |
| daurnimator | phlak_user: its already compiled. I just want to install it :) | 11:35 |
| daurnimator | ActionParsnip: apparently No such file or directory | 11:36 |
| ActionParsnip | daurnimator: that will be why then ;) do you use KDE? | 11:37 |
| daurnimator | ActionParsnip: thats as root | 11:37 |
| daurnimator | as myself; I'm the owner | 11:37 |
| Nertskull | Does anyone know a good command line LAN chat program? All I know of is ytalk, but it seems to not be used much, anything else? | 11:38 |
| ActionParsnip | daurnimator: does the folder exist as your user and are you using KDE? | 11:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Nertskull: irssi | 11:38 |
| lucian | Nertskull: finch might work | 11:38 |
| SubNormal | phlak_user allright I changed that, and I was able to ping google, but it felt alittle slow | 11:38 |
| phlak_user | SubNormal, felt? | 11:38 |
| dr_willis | Jabber :) | 11:38 |
| ActionParsnip | jabber routed through irssi | 11:38 |
| daurnimator | ActionParsnip: no I'm in unity | 11:39 |
| phlak_user | SubNormal, you seem to have double -NATted your network | 11:39 |
| SubNormal | phlak_user erm... soon as I hit enter on ping it took about 5 sec to ping | 11:39 |
| daurnimator | see: http://pastebin.ca/2093780 | 11:39 |
| lucian | Nertskull: if it's lan, you can use bonjour with finch or similar | 11:39 |
| daurnimator | VERY strange | 11:39 |
| Nertskull | Aren't both irssi and finch to connect to network protocols? I want something that I can keep within my own LAN for security? | 11:39 |
| dr_willis | I've seen simple clients written in peel and ruby | 11:39 |

| ActionParsnip | daurnimator: ok, that's gnome desktop. Unity is only a shell :) | 11:39 |
| phlak_user | SubNormal, did the RTT show 5 secs or in ms? | 11:39 |
| lucian | Nertskull: you could run an xmpp/irc server somewhere on your network. but bonjour requires no server | 11:40 |
| dr_willis | Nertskull: run your own server | 11:40 |
| Nertskull | dr_willis: yeah, that's the answer I keep coming back to, some sort of IRC server or something akin to that | 11:40 |
| SubNormal | phlak_user no I mean, it took about 5 sec for the command to kick in, I had then about 70ms ping | 11:40 |
| phlak_user | SubNormal, ok | 11:40 |
| lucian | Nertskull: but try bonjour first. at work, that's what we use | 11:40 |
| dr_willis | Nertskull: they got simple ones. | 11:41 |
| Nertskull | lucian: k, thanks, I'm going to look into that right now, see what I can find out | 11:41 |
| SubNormal | phlak_user damn it, I just restarted and I cant ping now | 11:41 |
| deej1976 | Nertskull: openfires a good xampp protocal server | 11:41 |
| luca | I have this problem Connessione fallita: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) | 11:41 |
| phlak_user | SubNormal, did you add that route to the /etc/network/interfaces file? else it wont be persistent | 11:41 |
| SubNormal | phlak_user route -n is exactly the same as before now | 11:42 |
| dr_willis | Nertskull: i imagine the best to use depends on the size and features you need | 11:42 |
| luca | How can I do? | 11:42 |
| ActionParsnip | daurnimator: looks ok the folder is a special folder | 11:42 |
| ActionParsnip | chabi: use a pastebin as I clearly said. Thanks | 11:42 |
| deej1976 | luca: is mysql installed/running ? | 11:42 |
| phlak_user | SubNormal, does it have the default route? | 11:42 |
| luca | it should be | 11:42 |
| daurnimator | ActionParsnip: so how can I let root see it | 11:42 |
| luca | do you know the command? | 11:42 |
| Nertskull | dr_willis: I just want to be able to ssh into one machine, and talk to my wife on her computer - normally I use pidgin/otr but android doesn't support that well yet (i hate gibberbot) | 11:42 |
| deej1976 | luca : should? | 11:42 |

| deej1976 | luca: ps -ef | grep mysql | 11:43 |
| === joe75_ is now known as joe75 | ||
| Milos | i.e. can I join another user's screen? | 11:43 |
| phlak_user | SubNormal, just add this line to the WAN interface in /etc/network/interfaces : gateway 192.168.111.1 | 11:43 |
| phlak_user | Milos, on another PC? | 11:43 |
| deej1976 | Milos: Yes | 11:43 |
| Milos | phlak_user, nono same PC | 11:43 |
| Milos | deej1976, oh sweet | 11:43 |

| deej1976 | Milos: need to read up on permissions | 11:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Nertskull: andchat is awesome :) | 11:44 |
| Nertskull | ActionParsnip: does andchat support otr? or other? | 11:44 |
| lucian | Nertskull: nope | 11:45 |
| liwish | can I create a USB "live cd" from the guest account? | 11:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Nertskull: what is otr? | 11:45 |
| dr_willis | Using andchat right now.. | 11:45 |
| glioros | deej1976: the email is still now working despite the fact we fix courier imap... any suggestions in which log i need to check ? | 11:45 |
| lucian | if you want a local xmpp server, ejabberd is very lightweight. you can even run it on a router | 11:45 |
| liwish | using the startup disk creator there is a permission error within /tmp | 11:45 |
| luca | deej1976: http://ideone.com/8rPCh | 11:45 |
| SubNormal | phlak_user wan interface? is that the eth1 wich connects to the internet? if so it allready has the 192.168.111.1 as gateway | 11:46 |
| liwish | and sudo is disabled within the terminal... | 11:46 |
| deej1976 | glioros: not me | 11:46 |
| dr_willis | Znc and irc clients could be local only. :) | 11:46 |
| deej1976 | luca | not ! | 11:46 |
| glioros | deej1976 y? | 11:46 |
| deej1976 | glioros: I wasn't helping you with your problem, with configuring imap, only the ^M converting | 11:47 |
| phlak_user | SubNormal, do you have the default route in route -n ? | 11:47 |
| SubNormal | phlak_user this is my current /etc/network/interfaces http://pastebin.com/At0vL2EY | 11:48 |

| SubNormal | phlak_user same as before http://pastebin.com/N4Cexnmx | 11:49 |
| dr_willis | Gotta love greping ps and finding your grep line.. | 11:49 |
| deej1976 | sudo service start mysql | 11:49 |
| phlak_user | SubNormal, somehow your default route isnt getting set | 11:49 |
| ActionParsnip | dr_willis: pipe the result to: grep -v grep | 11:49 |
| phlak_user | SubNormal, you can add a static route to the interfaces file too | 11:49 |
| ActionParsnip | dr_willis: ps -ef | grep -i naut | grep -v grep | 11:50 |

| pr3d4t0r | Greetings. | 11:50 |
| pr3d4t0r | Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS patched and up-to-date. About 3 hours ago I stopped being able to create new processes. Everything I try from the shell gives bash: /path/to/executable: Input/Output Error. I can't even sudo -u root so that I could re-start the server. The server is about 9,000 miles from me and I'd prefer to restart it ASAP rather than wait for the morning staff to come in, about 5 hours from now. Can you recommend any actions? Thanks in a | 11:52 |
| phlak_user | pr3d4t0r, look into /var/log/syslog - looks like a disk error | 11:53 |
| deej1976 | pr3d4t0r: look like your losing the disk | 11:54 |
| pr3d4t0r | phlak_user: I don't think I can even cat it. | 11:54 |
| schnuffle | pr3d4t0r: or it's 100% full | 11:54 |
| thrope | how to completely disable unity on 11.10? just upgraded and its unusuable (only use the machine headless with nomachine nx which doesnt run unity at all) | 11:54 |
| dr_willis | if you reboot ut may not come back up | 11:54 |
| Fudge | whats the gnome file browser that comes up when attaching emails or burning with bresaro called | 11:54 |
| dr_willis | thrope: use some other wm or desktop. | 11:55 |
| deej1976 | thrope: you might want to look at xubuntu/xfce | 11:55 |
| deej1976 | !notunity | 11:55 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 11:56 |
| schnuffle | thrope: I settled for LXDE using Lubuntu | 11:56 |
| thrope | what happened to the release process? upgrades used to be so smooth but with removing gcc 4.3 and this unity rubbish its a complete disaster | 11:56 |
| SubNormal | phlak_user I could not write that command with up like you wrote but I could make it work with out up | 11:56 |
| phlak_user | pr3d4t0r, is it on elastic storage or discrete disk | 11:56 |
| thrope | ok thanks willl try gnome shell | 11:56 |
| ActionParsnip | thrope: what CPU are you using and how much RAM do you have? | 11:56 |
| phlak_user | SubNormal, ok | 11:56 |
| dr_willis | unity works well for me. | 11:56 |
| thrope | ActionParsnip: dual i7 3.2Ghz 12GB ram | 11:56 |
| dr_willis | !info gcc | 11:57 |
| ubottu | 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 | 11:57 |

| thrope | it works on the machine, but it doesnt work at all connecting through nomachine nx | 11:57 |
| glioros | anybody i can pay fix something on my server? | 11:57 |
| thrope | this machine is headless so I use it exclusively through nx | 11:57 |
| thrope | unity doesnt work at all there - | 11:57 |
| dr_willis | thrope: gnome shell might nit work either then | 11:58 |
| pr3d4t0r | phlak_user: Physical disk. | 11:58 |
| SubNormal | phlak_user I checked route -n and there is a extra line at the bottom now this is my new route -n http://pastebin.com/jmaj8dkk | 11:58 |
| pr3d4t0r | phlak_user: It may be some log that went crazy; single partition. | 11:58 |
| phlak_user | pr3d4t0r, ouch! time to go on the cloud? | 11:58 |
| dr_willis | i never did get nx workung right. :( | 11:58 |
| pr3d4t0r | phlak_user: Do yhou know of some bash way of opening a file? I don't think I can even run cat :( | 11:58 |
| deej1976 | dr_willis: Q, How do you find multiply terminals sessions under unity, I've got 17 open at the moment under gnome2 (grouped) | 11:58 |
| phlak_user | pr3d4t0r, other than cat or less or more | 11:59 |
| dr_willis | deej1976: i just use terminator | 11:59 |
| pr3d4t0r | phlak_user: Hah! Yeah. And I'm a big cloud advocate. This particular server is cheaper to run physically since the DC, power, air, and network are free :) | 11:59 |
| thrope | how do i set the default session for a user | 11:59 |
| thrope | when i log in from nx I dont go through gdm | 12:00 |
| pr3d4t0r | phlak_user: I can start a new shell. I can't start anything else. And the web server is still sort of running. Processes eventually lock up. | 12:00 |
| dr_willis | thrope: you could edit their. .dmrc | 12:00 |
| deej1976 | dr_willis: Cheers | 12:00 |
| pr3d4t0r | phlak_user: That's consistent with running out of disk or file descriptors. | 12:00 |
| ActionParsnip | thrope: the last session is remembered for each user so will set the default | 12:00 |
| raven | hi need some help with openvpn server.conf please | 12:01 |
| pr3d4t0r | phlak_user: The servrer gets huge traffic spikes occasionally; I'm guessing file descriptors before physical disk. And you just gave me an idea. | 12:01 |
| pr3d4t0r | phlak_user: The user I'm using may be out of ulimit resources... but maybe others are still OKi. | 12:02 |
| glioros | anybody i can pay fix something on my server? | 12:02 |
| johan^izi | Lo all. I have this weird problem. I hope someone can help met out. I am running 11.10 in Gnome-Classic mode with effects enabled. But there seems to be something weird with the workspaces/virtual desktops. When i set the virtual desktops to a single row of 4 and i use the panel desktop switcher, it flicks me to an empty desktop without any panels or icons. The only way to get back is to start some program with a key binding.. that redraws the o | 12:02 |
| johan^izi | riginal desktop. | 12:02 |
| phlak_user | pr3d4t0r, thats a thought; can you become root? | 12:02 |
| pr3d4t0r | phlak_user: It's only that user :D | 12:02 |
| pr3d4t0r | phlak_user: I'm checking /group to see if anyh of my other user names there is in wheel. | 12:03 |
| SubNormal | phlak_user what am I doing wrong? :-( I restarted again and it's back to "normal" the routing erased | 12:03 |
| schnuffle | glioros: ask a question and you might get the solution forfree | 12:03 |
| phlak_user | pr3d4t0r, can you shutdown the web server? and then delete some apache logs? | 12:03 |
| pr3d4t0r | phlak_user: Yup, it's only that one user. | 12:03 |
| pr3d4t0r | phlak_user: I don't know. I need to first figure out if I can sudo -u root :) One moment. | 12:03 |
| phlak_user | pr3d4t0r, just type sudo -i | 12:04 |

| KNUBBIG | I need a quick help on #ubuntu-bots, what was the command to view the best tool for sth? Thanks! | 12:04 |
| phlak_user | KNUBBIG, whats sth | 12:05 |
| zykes- | i keep getting a error when it's booting about some watershed problem and a /dev/dm-x device | 12:05 |
| KNUBBIG | phlak_user: something | 12:05 |
| Jimmy_Hendrix | It would be great to play AOE in Lucid | 12:05 |
| johan^izi | As an addition to my problem. When switch from the desktop wall to the desktop cube, the problem goed away, but every time i switch desktop, it redraws.. And i cant move windows from desktop x to y using ctrl-alt-shift-arrow. When i use the windows context menu, it works fine | 12:05 |
| schnuffle | glioros: that's a rather simple description of your problem. What has been fixed and what is not working? | 12:05 |
| apwbdjp | Jimmy_Hendrix, checked at winehq? | 12:05 |
| phlak_user | SubNormal, cant say; i would go to /var/log and start deleting all the rotated logs .1 .2 .3 etc | 12:06 |
| phlak_user | SubNormal, also what is the output of df -h | 12:06 |
| phlak_user | SubNormal, pastebin it please | 12:06 |
| Jimmy_Hendrix | apwbdjp, yes, I have checked it, and it is possible, but, I want to know if there is someone here ever go to the trouble | 12:06 |
| KNUBBIG | where is the BestBot in #ubuntu-bots : | 12:06 |
| KNUBBIG | '( | 12:06 |
| zykes- | noone knows ? | 12:07 |
| apwbdjp | Jimmy_Hendrix, I tried AOM, it said some missing ddls but I didn't go looking to download them. You let me know if you have any success with AOE. | 12:07 |
| KNUBBIG | Any opinions on a good xml editor? | 12:08 |
| BrixSat | KNUBBIG: vim :) | 12:08 |
| KNUBBIG | Why'd I even ask :D:D Any graphical ones? | 12:09 |
| Jimmy_Hendrix | apwbdjp, ok then, I will install it now. I hope heaven give me success installing AOE in Lucid :( | 12:09 |
| apwbdjp | KNUBBIG, gvim :) | 12:09 |
| Nertskull | lucian: how do you access bonjour from the command line? I'm not familiar, but I see things about using mDNS, is that right? | 12:10 |
| Jimmy_Hendrix | apwbdjp, is there no bots with name gemacs? :D | 12:10 |
| lucian | Nertskull: use finch | 12:10 |
| KNUBBIG | ok, vim-gtk .. I'll look into it ;p ty | 12:10 |
| Nertskull | lucian: k, thanks, I'll look into that | 12:11 |
| Jimmy_Hendrix | KNUBBIG, choose emacs22-gtk, it is better bot than vim-gtk :)) | 12:11 |

| apwbdjp | Does anyone know why /dev/mem is locked past the first 1.1MB, even to privileged users? (only on ubuntu) | 12:15 |
| apwbdjp | I checked on other distros, it is readable. But on ubuntu it gives operation not permitted, after the first 1.1MB read. | 12:16 |
| ironhalik | is there anything I can do to make my battery indicator more accurate? | 12:16 |
| apwbdjp | It's pretty sad, you can't recover stuffs straight from the ram, if an application crashes | 12:16 |
| ironhalik | is has a spread of +- 1 hour, and the battery shuts off with the indicator claiming theres still 30 mins worth of juice | 12:17 |
| raven | hi need some help with openvpn server.conf please | 12:17 |
| pr3d4t0r | phlak_user: OKi, more information: I can log on as a non-wheel user. When I try to su as a user in the wheel group I get a Bus Error. | 12:17 |
| zagibu | ironhalik: maybe there's a calibrate battery function in the bios | 12:17 |
| ironhalik | oh, and the battery was formatted and calibrated couple of times | 12:17 |
| ironhalik | zagibu: hmm, I need to check it out | 12:18 |
| pr3d4t0r | Ahg,. | 12:18 |
| zagibu | ironhalik: ubuntu can't do a lot if the battery controller reports wrong values | 12:18 |
| fmauro | ironhalik: what kind of laptop are you using? | 12:19 |
| ironhalik | its a Dell latitude d420 | 12:19 |

| noWay | p.s ( after restart everything works great ) | 12:19 |
| fmauro | ironhalik: pity, I had a similar problem with my ThinkPad, there's a recalibrating/powermanagement suite fÃor thinkpads | 12:19 |
| ActionParsnip | noWay: what are you trying to access and with what app? | 12:20 |
| noWay | ActionParsnip: via terminal , files on desktop or anything | 12:20 |
| apwbdjp | noWay, what do you mean can't access anything? What do you do, and what do you have as answer? | 12:20 |
| fmauro | ironhalik: it's called tlp, but I doubt it works with others. | 12:20 |
| noWay | apwbdjp: as answer I got : read only =)) | 12:20 |
| ActionParsnip | noWay: is your $HOME owned by your user? | 12:20 |
| noWay | yep ActionParsnip | 12:20 |
| ironhalik | fmauro: the manual says the battery will callibrate itself after formatting it, charging it to full, then draining it all the way down | 12:20 |
| noWay | as I said , after restart it comes back to normal | 12:21 |
| lucian | I've managed to boot from usb on that Thinkpad E325 (by enabling UEFI legacy boot), but after the ubuntu splash screen it drops me in busybox | 12:21 |

| ActionParsnip | noWay: covers all bases :) | 12:21 |
| apwbdjp | ActionParsnip, he said he can't do anything even as root.. | 12:21 |

| noWay | even as I root I can't do anything | 12:21 |
| noWay | and I have to restart , lolz | 12:21 |
| ActionParsnip | noWay: ok so when you access a folder, what happens when it goes wrong? | 12:21 |
| noWay | ActionParsnip: I get "can't access , read mode only" | 12:22 |
| ActionParsnip | noWay: is the partition healthy? | 12:22 |
| noWay | ActionParsnip: I just checked , Yes | 12:22 |
| apwbdjp | noWay, you reboot, it works fine until..? it just starts messing up, just like that? | 12:22 |
| ActionParsnip | noWay: and is your RAM healthy? | 12:22 |

| jtr__ | ActionParsnip: i think that would mean the analog stereo ? | 12:45 |
| jtr__ | ActionParsnip: hdmi and the analog stereo are the only two options i have | 12:45 |
| jtr__ | ActionParsnip: in the master channel selection | 12:45 |
| ActionParsnip | jtr__: I asked if you wanted to use the speakers and you said no... | 12:45 |
| chicago5 | KNUBBIG: I did that partially already, but at boot time, it does not have any menu entries, I guess I "just" have to populate the menu.lst? | 12:45 |
| daurnimator | ActionParsnip: nothing | 12:46 |
| jtr__ | ActionParsnip: netsplit ? | 12:46 |
| schnuffle | mathi_: If your PHP sctipts just store the cached file on the disk and reload it when needed. You don't ave to search for them. So I guess the layout shouldn't matter for you | 12:46 |
| ActionParsnip | daurnimator: ok can you run: lsmod; lsb_release -a and pastebin the output please | 12:46 |
| KNUBBIG | chicago5: If you're using grub2, no, all os should be detected automagically | 12:46 |

| admiralshlorky | erp | 13:11 |
| admiralshlorky | i was agreeing with deej1976 | 13:12 |
| cablop | ie manage a LVM using the LVM gui tol is easier than using commands | 13:12 |
| admiralshlorky | there's only a few things that i prefer a gui for | 13:12 |
| admiralshlorky | and that's primarily torrenting | 13:12 |
| cablop | i ant to use both | 13:12 |
| deej1976 | hi admiralshlorky, harsh343 | 13:12 |
| admiralshlorky | simply because all the cli-based torrent clients i've used are pretty lame | 13:12 |
| cablop | so my intention is to leave a gui for some users and access the server either mode | 13:12 |
| skiter11 | luca_bi: i used mysql some time ago, i can't remeber what you do to start use. I know it's by command line. | 13:12 |
| ActionParsnip | admiralshlorky: you can use web UIs for torrents. transmission has a web UI. There are apps on various mobile phone OSes to talk to it too | 13:13 |
| admiralshlorky | ^yes, i'm aware of this | 13:13 |
| cablop | i am going to disable the gdm server so no useless gui on the server, anyway, just remote gui or startx by hand | 13:13 |
| ActionParsnip | admiralshlorky: so why use a gui.. | 13:13 |
| admiralshlorky | but i've run into issues with advanced configuration | 13:13 |
| ActionParsnip | i see | 13:13 |

| luca_bi | skiter11: I want to use PHP on a linux system with apache I have an host with altervista I want to staru using PHP | 13:14 |
| ActionParsnip | admiralshlorky: transmission has a window where you can specify a different speed, you can then set the normal speed as you wish | 13:14 |
| luca_bi | skiter11: On Altervista you can use phpmyadmin which is free | 13:14 |
| admiralshlorky | actionparsnip that's why i use the gui for torrents. | 13:14 |
| admiralshlorky | specifically for that reason | 13:15 |

| admiralshlorky | out of curiosity, with one of those, would you write the shell script and just start the watch process? | 13:23 |
| prophet | i just installed ubuntu 11.10, then installed compizmanager and now my unity has gone | 13:23 |
| admiralshlorky | or would the watch part actually be part of the shell script? | 13:23 |
| prophet | i did ctrl-alt-backspace in the meantime | 13:23 |
| prophet | due to a freeze | 13:24 |
| apwbdjp | admiralshlorky, watch doesn't need to be a part of a shell script. You can use shell script if you actually wanna do something different with the output (send to file, or something) | 13:24 |
| admiralshlorky | yeah | 13:24 |
| admiralshlorky | so, i could do watch -n 30 ./shellscript | 13:24 |
| apwbdjp | Yeah | 13:25 |
| apwbdjp | admiralshlorky, you'd have the same effect with while true do ...; sleep xx; done; | 13:25 |
| admiralshlorky | and the shell script could essentially be if [ -e "torrent file output" ] or whatever | 13:25 |
| apwbdjp | admiralshlorky, you'll have to check for changes yourself, but gives more flexibility | 13:25 |
| admiralshlorky | well | 13:25 |
| admiralshlorky | i like the modular aspect of watch | 13:26 |
| admiralshlorky | being able to invoke a single instance of the script would be rather nice if there's already a function to loop stuff around every once in a while | 13:26 |
| admiralshlorky | as opposed to being only able to invoke the looped version of the script | 13:26 |
| apwbdjp | admiralshlorky, right | 13:26 |
| admiralshlorky | i feel the watch solution would be more true to the unix spirit | 13:27 |

| admiralshlorky | click the .deb version | 13:47 |
| lucian | does hibernation require a swap partition, or can it work with a swap file? | 13:47 |
| JapyDooge | viks: download the deb from the dropbox webpage | 13:48 |
| JapyDooge | ... what admiralshlorky says :P | 13:48 |
| admiralshlorky | **viks: the .deb version that matches with your system, i.e. 32 bits for a 32 bit system, 64 for a 64 bit system | 13:48 |

| Um_cara_qualquer | I don't think we are speaking about the same file... this is the file: https://github.com/emesene/emesene/zipball/master there is no possibility of running it... it is a zip file, with directorys in it... if I'm missing something please be more clear :( I'm not that expert on linux yet | 13:50 |
| viks | best c++ ide for kubuntu | 13:50 |
| RaTTuS|BIG | zip files can be extracrted in ubuntu | 13:50 |
| ActionParsnip | viks: there isn't a best anything | 13:50 |
| admiralshlorky | um_cara_qualquer: try using the git tool, might be a cloned install of something | 13:51 |
| deej1976 | viks: kdevelop | 13:51 |
| ggarri_ | is there any one who knows good tomcat6? | 13:51 |
| ActionParsnip | viks: what is the best colour? | 13:51 |
| admiralshlorky | viks: vim with modifications! | 13:51 |
| henkye | Um_cara_qualquer: i must be missing something archives are meant to be extracted right ? extract it | 13:51 |
| admiralshlorky | actionparsnip: trick question, best color is rainbow. | 13:51 |
| Um_cara_qualquer | I did... now what? | 13:51 |
| schnuffle | Um_cara_qualquer: If you want to install emesene on your system use the PPA repository. Then you can install it with aptitude install emesene | 13:51 |
| ActionParsnip | admiralshlorky: technically white ;) | 13:51 |
| admiralshlorky | i definitely prefer rainbow. | 13:51 |
| ActionParsnip | admiralshlorky: but stil, its as nonesense a question as was asked | 13:52 |
| admiralshlorky | weeeell | 13:52 |
| shomon | hi, my sound has gone really bad quality from one day to the next.. levels seem right.. and it's on any player I use... | 13:52 |
| ActionParsnip | viks: in short, best is an opinion, so is never concrete | 13:52 |
| Um_cara_qualquer | schnuffle, I installed emesene with apt-get | 13:52 |
| shomon | how can I check up sound generally - debug what might be causing it to sound so bad? | 13:52 |
| admiralshlorky | viks: i would look around for c++ vim configs | 13:52 |
| sevenearths | is there any way I can get 'hddtemp' to return a temp to me without having to do 'sudo hddtemp' all the time? | 13:52 |
| viks | black | 13:52 |
| admiralshlorky | ^nope, rainbow | 13:53 |
| henkye | Um_cara_qualquer: search for executable file, if none present, search for "setup", "install" something like that make it executable & run it | 13:53 |
| marsfligth | xangua: From producer: 'Autotrash is a simple Python script which will purge files from your trash based on their age or the amount of free space ...' http://www.logfish.net/pr/autotrash/ | 13:53 |

| Um_cara_qualquer | hmm | 13:53 |
| admiralshlorky | nope, definitely rainbow | 13:53 |
| admiralshlorky | oh, marsfligth, don't even worry about that | 13:53 |
| ActionParsnip | viks: I like orange, but one is not absolutely better than the other. Its an opinion only | 13:53 |
| admiralshlorky | unix is above trash cans | 13:53 |
| schnuffle | Um_cara_qualquer: okay and it has a problem with connecting? How do you want sove this problem? Got a hint from somwhere? | 13:53 |
| admiralshlorky | it'll just delete your stuff irrecoverably | 13:53 |
| admiralshlorky | but you could always set up your delete button to move to a folder named trash | 13:53 |
| apwbdjp | sevenearths, sensors applet can display the hdd temperature on gnome pannel, it's what I use to avoid that issue | 13:54 |
| marsfligth | xangua: I'm asking for equivalent because on my 10.10 64-Bit doesn' work | 13:54 |
| ActionParsnip | admiralshlorky: its not really gone til you overwrite the data | 13:54 |
| viks | i will try out kdevlop and vim | 13:54 |
| admiralshlorky | and then set up another script with watch to delete stuff | 13:54 |
| ActionParsnip | !compile | viks | 13:54 |

| sevenearths | apwbdjp: I'm using conky with the 'exec' line | 13:54 |
| deej1976 | viks: give kdevelop a look, reportedly very good, vim,emacs,nano,gedit,geany,leafpad etc.... | 13:54 |
| Um_cara_qualquer | schnuffle, just that file... but it does not say where extract or how run it | 13:54 |
| viks | ok. let me try | 13:55 |
| admiralshlorky | actionparsnip: and even then if you rewrite the data you can tell with an electron microscope and trace levels of magnetism | 13:55 |
| apwbdjp | sevenearths, when I installed hddtemp, it told me something about if I want it to run as daemon.. isn't there a way to use that? | 13:55 |
| Um_cara_qualquer | http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/153/capturadetelaie.png/ -> in the extracted directory of the file | 13:55 |
| Um_cara_qualquer | no executable | 13:55 |
| admiralshlorky | actionparsnip: and if you shred the hard drive, you can rebuild it and go through the rigamarole | 13:55 |
| admiralshlorky | actionparsnip: it just depends on how far you're willing to go to get your data back | 13:55 |
| schnuffle | Um_cara_qualquer: Which file? To build from the sources you need to enter: python setup.py install | 13:55 |
| sevenearths | apwbdjp: not to sure :( | 13:55 |
| Um_cara_qualquer | hmmm | 13:56 |
| ActionParsnip | admiralshlorky: i've had this discussion before with others, overwrite = gone | 13:56 |
| apwbdjp | admiralshlorky, if you microwave the hard drive, I don't think that's recoverable ^^ | 13:56 |
| admiralshlorky | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_recovery | 13:56 |
| xangua | Um_cara_qualquer: enter the emesene directory, and then run the emesene file | 13:56 |
| xangua | easiere imposible | 13:56 |
| xangua | easier* | 13:56 |
| Um_cara_qualquer | ok hang on | 13:56 |
| admiralshlorky | there's a chunk in there about it | 13:56 |
| apwbdjp | sevenearths, I mean if it runs as daemon, you won't need sudo privileges to ask it for temprature, right? the question is how to ask it.. hddtemps documentation says something about this? | 13:56 |
| admiralshlorky | i'm no expert, so i don't claim to have an opinion of my own | 13:56 |
| admiralshlorky | but based on what i've seen on a combination of csi/wikipedia, data is ALWAYS recoverable. | 13:57 |

| admiralshlorky | gah | 13:58 |
| admiralshlorky | oy vey. | 13:58 |
| ActionParsnip | admiralshlorky: the same dude said the bits needed to be flipped about 100 times to be truly gone, its nonesense | 13:58 |
| sevenearths | apwbdjp: 'sudo chmod +s /usr/sbin/hddtemp' turned out to be th solution | 13:59 |
| admiralshlorky | hell dude, i don't know, it was just something i read. i don't claim to be an expert of magnetism or the magic of hard drives | 13:59 |
| apwbdjp | sevenearths, there's the hddtemp deamon way too, I just found it | 13:59 |
| null` | I'm trying to PTRACE_ATTACH to a process, but whenever I manage to attach the process quits, anyone has any idea why this behavior occurs ? | 13:59 |
| ActionParsnip | admiralshlorky: its cool :) | 14:00 |
| apwbdjp | sevenearths, just make hddtemp run as deamon (sudo dkpg reconfigure hddtemp, to tell it to run at every startup), and ask it with netcat localhost 7634 | 14:00 |
| admiralshlorky | WHAT?! | 14:00 |

| deej1976 | !notunity | qxt | 14:32 |
| ubottu | qxt: 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 | 14:32 |
| DarsVaeda | if you use ALT+TAB and navigate to "show desktop" and choose that, then use STR+ALT+ARROW right or left - do you get all empty workspaces too? | 14:33 |
| adi11 | hi all. i installed ubuntu 11.10 on my hp dv 7600. this is dual boot with win7. after grub screen it starts the loading the os, so the ubuntu logo and the dots are loading. than it hangs on a black screen for about one minute. after that it load the OS ok. than on shut down it takes like a min or more. its like in the times of feisty fawn. what possibly causes the hangover ? is there a log text file to see what causes this? thanks | 14:34 |
| jesus_ | schnuffle ok thanks how would i do that useing the terminal | 14:35 |
| qxt | deej1976 Even in Gnome 3 the traditional desktop metaphor is been trashed. | 14:35 |
| schnuffle | jesus_: check http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_lvm | 14:36 |
| adi11 | i installed nvidia 285 drivers and i like this but its just that it takes so long to load and shutdown. | 14:36 |
| henkye | qxt: there are more alternatives than Gnome3 or Unity ... | 14:37 |

| be01850 | RaTTuS|BIG: (sorry if I do not follow the etiquette, I'm not used to IRC) Are you still there? | 14:38 |
| schnuffle | jesus_: another option is to use virtualization, you setup a system, save it so that you can always restart at the beginning | 14:39 |

| RaTTuS|BIG | be01850 - sorry been afk - if you have been fiddling with a startup script and broken your system then boot from a livecd and try and fix it that way - if it is something else - explain in more detail - someone should be able to help | 14:41 |

As a software engineer one of our biggest tasks to to interface humans with their machines. I agree with Linus Torvalds accusation that Gnome 3 (and the like) are "a unholy mess" | 14:58 |

| riffautae | SunTzu: control-alt-f2 will get you a terminal | 15:04 |
| SunTzu | so? | 15:04 |

| SunTzu | aconbere is a module used to access it? | 15:07 |
| Crazy | riffautae: yes thats it | 15:07 |

| riffautae | Klunk: do you get a 'grub' screen on boot that lets you select which kernel/os? | 15:07 |
| vishal | where can I discuss about new gnome shell (gnome3) on ubuntu 11.04? On #gnome or else other recommendations? | 15:08 |
| riffautae | Crazy: yes when installing choose custom partitions and make one large one, then tell it to mount it as '/'. later you will have to look up how to make swap a file intead of a partition | 15:08 |
| Klunk | No I get nothing. I get the PC showing that it is not finding a CD to boot from, then the screen goes blank and I get the sugnal out of range error | 15:08 |
| aconbere | SunTzu: hmmm I'm not sure honestly. I | 15:08 |
| riffautae | Crazy: the other option is to make one large partition and install lvm on top, then you can change and resize partitions how ever you want and other os's will just see it as one mystery partition | 15:09 |

| dcherniv | jost_, can you run smbtree and check if your mount is listed | 15:23 |
| haylo | maybe it asks you for the keyring password magma | 15:23 |
| blind | magma: I've been through like 6 or 7 versions of ubuntu and network-manager has never asked me for password | 15:23 |
| magma | because you are part of the admins group | 15:24 |
| blind | also... with sudo, don't you type in YOUR password, not the root password? | 15:24 |
| haylo | magma if you leave that keyring blank and change desktops you can end up with sudo being the only way to unlock it | 15:24 |
| n3glv | I get same on web browser , 404 | 15:25 |
| jost_ | dcherniv, done. It show the share, and i've also tried some other shares. | 15:25 |
| n3glv | The requested URL /ubuntu/pool/universe/l/linux/linux-image-2.6.35-31-generic_2.6.35-31.62_i386.deb was not found on this server. | 15:25 |
| haylo | you need to get comfortable with the fdifference between your sudo passwd and the password you set for you keyring in the network manager | 15:26 |
| riffautae | Klunk: hmm and the live cd worked? | 15:26 |
| magma | blind: If I do it with my account it does not ask me anything. If I change the account to a user that does not belong to admins, it asks for the password of the first account | 15:26 |
| Tausen | Hey everyone - I've got a major issue with my ubuntu 11.04. | 15:26 |
| Tausen | Whenever I connect to a wireless network or plug in a network cable, a kworker process uses 100% of one core of the CPU in spikes, causing the entire system to lag horribly :( | 15:26 |

| blind | Hi, running 11.10, wireless keeps disconnecting randomly.. did not have the issue in 10.10 or Mint 11 - someone yesterday suggested I reboot.. so I did.. and it took a little longer than normal, but I did get disconnected in the same fashion (I have to turn wireless off/on before I can connect again). What can I do? - dmesg http://pastebin.com/cRiAXAcT | 15:29 |

| Oogabooga | help. When installing a motherboard, does it matter if you don't use all the screws to screw it into the case? | 15:33 |
| riffautae | Oogabooga: no just make sure none of the standoffs under the mobo are touching anything they should not be | 15:34 |
| Oogabooga | my motherboards keep frying | 15:34 |
| WhuazGoodYo | I want it to have no password anymore at all, I know that makes no sense from a security point of view, but this is a public computer in a hostel so everzone should have full access and if the PC is fucked up I can just set it up newly. | 15:34 |
| Oogabooga | what is a standoff, riffautae ? | 15:34 |

| Oogabooga | thanks :) | 15:35 |
| riffautae | Oogabooga: most cases have multiple locations for those and you have to match them to the holes on your mobo | 15:35 |
| BluesKaj | Oogabooga, don't tighten the screws too much or you 'll crack the board | 15:35 |
| riffautae | Oogabooga: also check to see if another component or your psu is causing the issue | 15:35 |
| Oogabooga | so the second time in two weeks, i was playing a game and my computer turned itself off and now it won't boot | 15:35 |
| Oogabooga | i just replaced the mobo now it's fucking pwned again | 15:35 |

| Oogabooga | dpb|: yeah | 15:36 |
| overdub | Oogabooga: sounds like power supply problem | 15:36 |

| riffautae | Oogabooga: define 'fry the mobo' | 15:36 |
| Oogabooga | no POST | 15:36 |
| riffautae | Oogabooga: ever again? does it have any burn marks on it, that can indicate a short | 15:36 |

| Oogabooga | dpb|: the GPU? I have a separate video card | 15:37 |
| Oogabooga | i thought the GPU isn't used if you have a video card | 15:37 |
| riffautae | Oogabooga: swap some of the other parts out for extras to see if they are messing things up | 15:37 |
| riffautae | Oogabooga: also make sure you have a good psu and not a weird off brand that came with the case | 15:37 |
| Oogabooga | riffautae: same problem last week, swapped mobo and it worked again (for 2 days) | 15:37 |
| Oogabooga | riffautae: already on my second PSU, this one is from Best Buy | 15:38 |

| Error404NotFound | genii-around: just that? i have an old box, very old and its hard disks are /dev/hda and /dev/hdb | 16:12 |

| genii-around | Error404NotFound: If it's 6.06 (Dapper) it might have hd* | 16:12 |
| [PanzeR]DzaDze | how to do that ? | 16:12 |
| dr_willis | mengesb: the nvidia settings tool just shows 2 displays>? | 16:12 |

| holyghetto | hi i want some help about installing emerald and compiz | 16:15 |
| Error404NotFound | thats 26^26 or something, i am weak in maths | 16:15 |
| === flipp_ is now known as flipp | ||
| mengesb | dr_willis: i guess that's my issue, it combines two monitors and the hardware reports one display | 16:15 |
| === matt_ is now known as Guest74842 | ||
| apwbdjp | Error404NotFound, if it's limited to sdaa -> sdzz, It's more around 26² | 16:16 |
| === milind is now known as abyss42 | ||
| dr_willis | mengesb: i wonder if its not a limit of the card.. id be curious.. if you moved the 3rd monitor over to the other port if it would start getting 'merged' with the Other display... | 16:16 |
| Error404NotFound | apwbdjp: is it limited? i though i could also do sdaaa -> sdzzz and more, if yes then 26^26 if i am not wrong | 16:16 |
| dr_willis | holyghetto: compiz is installed by default normally. and emerald is basically a dead project.. whats your specific issues? | 16:17 |
| mengesb | dr_willis: yeah, when i have two ports of the display port occupied, it merges them into one display... | 16:17 |
| mengesb | shoot... | 16:17 |
| deej1976 | !emerald | holyghetto | 16:17 |
| ubottu | holyghetto: emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives. | 16:17 |
| apwbdjp | Error404NotFound, it would be 26^26 if it was limited to sd followed by 26 letters | 16:17 |
| holyghetto | oh ok guys thanks | 16:17 |
| dr_willis | mengesb: so its sort of shareing 2 ports per gpu in the card perhaps? | 16:17 |
| apwbdjp | Error404NotFound, if it's not limited, means you can do as many letters as you can, it would 26^infinity | 16:17 |
| genii-around | Error404NotFound: Additionally after sdzz it goes to sdaaa-sdzzz | 16:17 |
| mengesb | dr_willis: it would appear so | 16:18 |

| mengesb | I have a second question: I have a LaCie FastKey usb3.0 usb/ssd device (http://www.lacie.com/us/products/product.htm?id=10533) - Ubuntu won't let me mount it, or work with it on any USB port... I have the dmesg output | 16:20 |
| b0n1 | hey, i am trying a container virtualization with lxc but i cant do mount -t cgroup none /dev/cgroup | 16:20 |
| dr_willis | bjrohan: it is formated? has data on it? | 16:20 |
| xuser1 | i like awn | 16:20 |
| b0n1 | because none is already mounted. when i do umount none, i get /run/shm device is busy. how can i mount none ? | 16:20 |
| xuser1 | but cann i disable or delete gnome 3 panel? | 16:20 |
| mengesb | dmesg output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/735384/ | 16:21 |
| bjrohan | dr_willis how do I paste the output without flooding? It should be formatted, this was the only partition that had Ubuntu on it. I shrunk my Windows partition, tried to extend the Ubuntu partition to the unallocated space, but instead I think I copied original part to unallocated. If there is data I do not need it, so I am okay with formatting it | 16:22 |
| dr_willis | bjrohan: the pastebinit command. | 16:22 |
| dr_willis | bjrohan: it might be easier to just use gparted to repartion the drive as needed. | 16:22 |
| bruderbell | I'm having a heck of a time getting my ubuntu samba share to be writable from my windows machine. http://pastebin.com/c9NBwfST | 16:22 |
| bjrohan | pastebinit | 16:23 |
| bjrohan | dr_willis how to use pastebinit command. I have been using linux all of 3 weeks :-) | 16:23 |
| compdoc | bruderbell, dont use that user or group | 16:24 |
| compdoc | bruderbell, what are the permissions on the directory: /var/www/pix/var/albums/ | 16:24 |
| bjrohan | dr_willis Also I used gparted to try and partition originally, and this was my outcome :-) a little gunshy. Can I use gparted to format that partition to resolve my problem? | 16:24 |
| Oins | Hi. The click at "Browse Network -> Windows Network" drops me: "Unable to mount location, Failed to retrieve share list from server". Any ideas how to solve this or how to find the problem? | 16:24 |
| bruderbell | My share directory is in my webserver directory, so I guess I thought I needed to use www-data so the website would sstill beable to work with the files | 16:24 |
| RaTTuS|BIG | bjrohan - sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 16:25 |
| Oins | Click at Nautilus | 16:25 |

| gurjeet | is `poweroff -f` equivalent of an abrupt crash? or do I have to resort to /proc/sysrq to simulate a crash? | 16:25 |
| |Slacker| | all right...what's with software center? I just can't install any ppa I add there | 16:25 |
| bjrohan | thank you raTTus|BIG I thought pastebinit may have been an IRC thing | 16:26 |
| bruderbell | compdoc: albums directory is 777 | 16:26 |
| ccmonster | apwbdjp, you around man? | 16:27 |
| compdoc | bruderbell, and the owner is www-data? | 16:27 |
| RaTTuS|BIG | bjrohan - np then anything you pipe to it will give you a link like sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit | 16:27 |
| milen8204 | Hello all, How can I set the app windows to appear in the center of the screen? | 16:27 |
| bruderbell | compdoc: mm. no, the owner is root | 16:27 |
| apwbdjp | ccmonster, yup, sorry for the absence. | 16:27 |
| compdoc | bruderbell, thats the problem | 16:27 |
| compdoc | bruderbell, I specify myself as the owner, but if you have serveral ppl accessing, I think you should use Nobody as the owner | 16:28 |
| apwbdjp | ccmonster, still no success, even after killing guake? | 16:28 |
| bruderbell | compdoc: I see the discrepancy. I have several folders in there that the website created via the web interface, so they show www-data as owner and group | 16:29 |
| dr_willis | bjrohan: 'sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit' if you have pastebinit installed.. and gparted can do most eerything.. | 16:29 |
| bruderbell | compdoc: so my goal is to have my samba share assign the same permissions and owner as the website would have done | 16:29 |
| blind | Hi, running 11.10, wireless keeps disconnecting randomly.. did not have the issue in 10.10 or Mint 11 - someone yesterday suggested I reboot.. so I did.. and it took a little longer than normal, but I did get disconnected in the same fashion (I have to turn wireless off/on before I can connect again). What can I do? - dmesg http://pastebin.com/cRiAXAcT | 16:30 |
| bjrohan | dr_willis that is the problem, gparted does LOTS, and I don't understand it all yet :-). | 16:31 |
| compdoc | bruderbell, this is all shared thru the website? why does it even need samba? | 16:31 |
| mang0 | Is there any way I can bypass the "Unlock login keyring" crap at startup? | 16:31 |
| bjrohan | dr_willis the fdisk -l is this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/735389/ | 16:31 |
| milen8204 | hello all, how can I start whit command composite-manager which is in cairo-dock? | 16:31 |
| bruderbell | compdoc: i'd like to get a network share working so that I can do a mass transfer and not use the web interface. Too clunky via the website | 16:31 |
| compdoc | bruderbell, ahh, ok | 16:32 |
| bruderbell | compdoc: so given that the albums directory has root owner, is there a way for me to get the share to give newly created directories the www-data owner? | 16:32 |
| compdoc | bruderbell, that Im not sure of. I do it manually | 16:33 |
| dcherniv | [ 49.686405] EXT4-fs (sda1): re-mounted. Opts: errors=remount-ro,commit=0 | 16:33 |

| bruderbell | compdoc: sounds fair enough. So my primary concern is just getting the share to allow creating directories and writing files | 16:33 |
| bjrohan | dr_willis my best guess, /dev/sda3 is what I boot into as I go to filesystem in Nautlis right click and I get 51 GB free. /dev/sda5 is my original Linux partition at 37GB | 16:34 |
| compdoc | bruderbell, I would say so | 16:34 |
| bruderbell | compdoc: so for that, I just need to match the samba.conf user and group to the permissions of the shared directory? | 16:34 |
| dcherniv | blind, ^ seems weird, looks like sda1 was remounted | 16:34 |
| compdoc | bruderbell, if you use the same owner as the user who logs on, its all very easy | 16:34 |

| dcherniv | blind, is your "/" partition on sda1? | 16:35 |
| blind | it should be. | 16:35 |

| === jthomas_ is now known as TheDracle | ||
| compdoc | bruderbell, its easy enough to test | 16:37 |

| compdoc | bruderbell, I think, but not sure, that samba might require and username, password, and permissions | 16:38 |
| compdoc | bruderbell, yes, I think you need to restart smbd after changes | 16:39 |
| dr_willis | bjrohan: somthing seems odd with your partition start/end numhbers... looking at them again.. | 16:39 |
| MaryF\cknPop\ns | moin. | 16:40 |
| dr_willis | bjrohan: sda3 is befor sda2. wich is a little odd. Might be causing issues.. im not sure about that. | 16:40 |
| bruderbell | compdoc: strange that you mention a password. should I have a line in my conf file to give the pass? | 16:40 |

| RaTTuS|BIG | MaryF\cknPop\ns - see apt-get purge | 16:41 |

| bruderbell | compdoc: oh for the love. I made all those changes to the conf file all this while, but never restarted the service. | 16:41 |
| dr_willis | MaryF\cknPop\ns: thats the 'purge' option, to remove all configs. | 16:42 |
| compdoc | bruderbell, no, you enable 'security = user' in /etc/samba/smb.conf, and it works with the user's password automatically. | 16:42 |
| compdoc | dont enter a passowrd into the conf file | 16:42 |

| mxed | bjrohan, it is a mess when partions is in bad order. i would myself make a backup and remove all partions and start al over again i had let sda1 be untouched and i guess you store your stuff on that one | 17:05 |

| mxed | its your windows system right ? | 17:09 |
| bjrohan | mxed, I get that, just back up my Linux drive in use, boot into Live CD, reformat all partitions except for windows part, then reinstall Linux, or just copy my backup to new partition? | 17:10 |
| panfist | i'm sharing an ext4 fs via samba to another linux client, and on the linux client i'd like to create a symlink on that share that points to another file on that share, | 17:10 |

| panfist | but it says that the target doesn't support symlinks | 17:10 |
| mxed | bjrohan, right hehe | 17:10 |
| panfist | i have configured samba to follow symlinks, but google searching for creating symlinks on a samba share has turned up mixed results | 17:10 |
| panfist | a couple of sites said that you can't, and other sites said you can as long as samba is sharing a fs that supports symlinks, and as far as i know that is true since it's an ext4 fs | 17:11 |

A directory entry (the filename/path, permissions, some flags and a pointer to an inode) and the data contained IN the file (which is referenced by the inode). SMB as a filesystem has a much different directory entry structure, and so it doesn't know what a symlink is. | 17:56 |

| Whitor | Hi, how do I open synaptic package manager in 11.10 ? has it been replaced ? | 18:02 |
| Petskull | Whitor, yeah, it's gone | 18:02 |
| * Whitor hangs head | 18:02 | |
| ssta | raven: you can't create a pvm on something that's mounted. Is it mounted? | 18:02 |
| Klojum | Whitor: you can download it separately | 18:02 |
| Resistance | Petskull: gone as in not in the repos or gone as in just not installed by default? | 18:02 |
| Petskull | try this? apt-get install synaptic | 18:02 |
| bjrohan | As I have messed up my partitions. I am looking to backup/clone my current partition (7GB total used), remove, my linux partitions (leaving windows alone) then restore Ubuntu as it is right now. What it the best way for me to do this? Clonezilla? | 18:03 |
| raven | ssta NO! | 18:03 |
| Petskull | no idea, try installing it | 18:03 |
| ssta | raven: permissions issue maybe? | 18:03 |
| Whitor | heh, thanks... but I'm trying to do things the 11.10 'approved' way .. just for contrast | 18:03 |
| Whitor | so I guess I'm using Ubuntu Software Center | 18:03 |
| raven | ssta, for example? | 18:04 |
| iannis | hello | 18:04 |
| Klojum | Whitor: apt-get install is still very much 11.10 approved... | 18:04 |
| Whitor | was just looking to install some compiz extras .... Ubuntu Software Center doesn't breakout packages like synaptic does | 18:04 |
| iannis | someone from france here? | 18:04 |
| blind | Whitor: yeah, but synaptic doesn't use half the resources software center does... | 18:05 |
| Whitor | blind, and this is a bad thing ? | 18:05 |
| Whitor | unless you mean something else by resources ... than what I am thinking | 18:05 |
| blind | maybe i just didn't understand your line of breakout packages | 18:05 |
| blind | i rather dislike the software center personally. | 18:06 |
| Whitor | I want to install compiz-fusion-plugins-extra | 18:06 |
| iannis | help | 18:06 |
| Whitor | All that I have the option to install is Compiz ... Compiz fusion icon, and Compiz config settings manager | 18:06 |
| iannis | help | 18:06 |
| iannis | need french people | 18:07 |
| Whitor | iannis, you need to state a question | 18:07 |
| blind | 99% of things i install i do via command line with apt-get | 18:07 |
| Gentoo64 | whats the difference between apt-get install and software centre? | 18:07 |
| Gentoo64 | apart from gui | 18:07 |
| Ellipsis_ | Where should I ask to find out how to get my ubuntu to boot up? | 18:07 |
| iannis | yes, i need to understand how to deal with the terminal (first day on linux)! | 18:08 |
| Linuxlainen | Gentoo64: they are the same then | 18:08 |
| Gentoo64 | someone once told me they were different in some way | 18:08 |
| Linuxlainen | only gui and some description you get in software center | 18:08 |
| Gentoo64 | i thought so | 18:08 |
| blind | software center runs my CPU usage to 100% anytime it's installing things, and uses tons of memory on my machine. | 18:08 |
| Linuxlainen | and of course nice searching tool | 18:09 |
| blind | I do just find with apt-cache search :P | 18:09 |
| Gentoo64 | i thought software centre just used apt-get install and used the same base stuff | 18:09 |
| iannis | i need to find some irc with french peoples! nobody on linux-fr # and ## ! | 18:09 |
| Gentoo64 | ubuntu-fr? | 18:09 |
| blind | switching tabs in the software center is like a 30-45 second ordeal for me. :| | 18:10 |
| rrossi | Hello | 18:10 |
| Gentoo64 | blind: thats bad | 18:10 |
| urlin2u | Gentoo64, apt-get you can string a lot of installs together it is fater in thise cases. | 18:10 |
| urlin2u | faster | 18:10 |
| Gentoo64 | yeah i suppose | 18:10 |
| CharminTheMoose | Is there an app that does for GUIs what screen does for text mode apps? | 18:10 |
| Gentoo64 | i was only asking, because ages ago i said they were the same thing. and some told me theyre not | 18:11 |
| Gentoo64 | CharminTheMoose: not afaik | 18:11 |
| Gentoo64 | apart from virtual desktops | 18:11 |
| Archangels2 | hello, I was just looking into the color coding system used by the ls command and found the LS_COLORS env variable. But I didn't recognize the format the colors were written in, does anyone know where I can read up on this? | 18:11 |
| iannis | thanks there was desert land yesterday on it | 18:11 |
| Guest35280 | hello, I use ubuntu 11.10 x64 with gnome 3. After an update yesterday, i came to the shell and i can't start gnome-shell. It says 'unable to open x-display'. And when i try to start gnome-settings-deamon it says 'unable to initialize GTK+'. Would be great if you have an idea. Thanks. | 18:12 |
| Gentoo64 | CharminTheMoose: you could use a tiling wm, but thats not an "app" exactly | 18:13 |
| airtonix | CharminTheMoose: yes there is. | 18:13 |
| Archangels2 | or if someone knows a better channel to ask on... | 18:13 |
| urlin2u | Gentoo64, one the ways I use apt-get is to reinstall everything load on one distro in another by saving th installed in a list. | 18:14 |
| Gentoo64 | Archangels2: google ls colors | 18:14 |
| Gentoo64 | or maybe try bash | 18:14 |
| airtonix | CharminTheMoose: apt-cache search xnest | 18:14 |
| airtonix | CharminTheMoose: or you use freenx | 18:14 |
| ssta | CharminTheMoose: you can run multiple X servers and switch between them with ctrl-alt-F7, ctrl-alt-F8 etc. That's quite resource intensive though...and for some desktops (gnome for example) tricky to do unless they're all owned by different users. | 18:14 |
| Archangels2 | Gentoo64, no not bash, the colors are controlled by the terminal itself | 18:15 |
| Gentoo64 | yeah, i noticed | 18:15 |
| bjrohan | I need DRASTIC help. Is it possible to enlarge my Ubuntu partition using unallocated space at the end of the exisitng partition? | 18:15 |
| Gentoo64 | bjrohan: yes | 18:16 |
| Gentoo64 | thats the easiest way to do it too | 18:16 |
| dcherniv | indeed | 18:16 |
| bjrohan | Gentoo64, mind if I share with you my problem? | 18:16 |
| Linuxlainen | how can I figure out to what USB my IR receiver is connected? | 18:16 |

| Gentoo64 | bjrohan: whats the problem? | 18:17 |
| Linuxlainen | I get only these from tehre | 18:17 |
| dcherniv | Linuxlainen, disconnect/connect it while running dmesg | 18:17 |
| Archangels2 | Gentoo64, but the search turned up what I was looking for thakns. I guess I need to refine my google skills. | 18:18 |
| Linuxlainen | what is dmesg? | 18:18 |
| Gentoo64 | Archangels2: yeah sorry for suggesting google. i dont know the answer to that myself | 18:18 |
| bjrohan | ssta and Gentoo64 I have my main Linux part of 58GB, beside it is another partition of 37GB that has the same UUID. I wish to delete the 37 GB and expand the 58GB to include the 37. Here are some pics of what I have: http://imagebin.org/183590 and http://paste.ubuntu.com/735389/ | 18:18 |

| trinimoses | hi all | 18:20 |
| trinimoses | is it possible to do a net install for ubuntu 11.10 ? | 18:20 |
| alabala | hey boys, how to install pppoe ? | 18:20 |
| dcherniv | Linuxlainen, no. just run dmesg once it is connected | 18:20 |
| ssta | bjrohan: I don't know of a GUI tool to do it (there probabky is one somewhere...I just don't know of it). resize2fs is gthe cli tool to do it | 18:20 |
| Gentoo64 | ssta: never heard of gparted? :s | 18:20 |
| bjrohan | ssta did you look at the links? What should I do with the 37GB part, is there a way to "unformat"? | 18:21 |

And when i try to start gnome-settings-deamon it says 'unable to initialize GTK+'. Would be great if you have an idea. | 18:21 |
| Gentoo64 | trinimoses: not sure if the "minimal" one is a net install or not | 18:21 |
| trinimoses | k | 18:22 |
| Gentoo64 | id guess it is, but it might pull data off the dvd | 18:22 |
| urlin2u | bjrohan, turn off the swap delete the sda5 right click the extended shrink it to the right to encompass just the sap then right click sda and expand it. | 18:22 |
| Gentoo64 | you could prob tell by the size of the iso itself if its net install | 18:22 |

| katurio | In general this trouble. When you install a set of windows swap logical partition. Once can not find it neither in Ubuntu nor in Windows. Gparted shows the section as a Linux-swap. This section is not formatted it possible to revive him? For him to important data. | 18:29 |

| ezrafree | can anyone tell me why i no longer see the option to boot into gnome during login screen? | 18:35 |
| urlin2u | NoReGreT, how old the response below mine was the next bit of info you needed basically, cycles mean how fresh how old the install is. | 18:35 |

| katurio | so that part is dead? | 18:37 |
| urlin2u | ezrafree, you click in the star and see no gnome? | 18:37 |
| ssta | moo-: because Ubuntu releases every 6 months. last release was a month ago (give or take). firefox 8 has only been released 3 or 4 days ago. | 18:38 |
| ssta | moo-: it will probably be in the next ubuntu released | 18:38 |
| NoReGreT | urlin2u: i think tuesday | 18:38 |
| osse | The 'cache' that is searched when executing 'apt-cache search ...' is not the same cache as the one that is cleaned with 'apt-get clean', right? And the 'cache' in 'apt-cache' means the local copy of the database of available packages? | 18:38 |

| urlin2u | NoReGreT, I think this has always been a part of some peoples install I never use my battery so I have not experienced this, it just takes a few cyles or days otr time for the battery system to get orientated. So since nobody ever really has a problem here there are no hard numbers on this . | 18:41 |

| kelvin0000 | hi, there | 19:05 |
| Folklore | Canonical and its baby seemed poised to take over the Linux desktop/laptop market completely — until it released Unity. Unity has caused an uproar in the Linux community — especially amongst the power users who decry its lack of customizability and inability to scale on big- and multi-monitor setups — and users are defecting in droves to Linux Mint, now the second most popular Debian-based | 19:06 |
| Folklore | distro and gaining fast on Ubuntu. | 19:06 |
| Folklore | somethin to think ubuntu staff | 19:06 |
| kelvin0000 | some one could point me to slackware please..irc | 19:06 |
| bobweaver | #slax ? | 19:07 |
| kelvin0000 | thanks going there | 19:08 |
| ssta | Folklore: meh...either unity will eventually mature enough to be useful for real work, or they'll abandon it. No big deal either way... | 19:08 |
| korokos | ubuntu 10.04 is the best for me | 19:08 |
| urlin2u | marw, not on the cd, I'm will be in the repos though http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/11/banshee-tomboy-and-mono-dropped-from-ubuntu-12-04-cd/ | 19:08 |
| urlin2u | Folklore, a true power user will know how to manipulate the DE. | 19:09 |

| urlin2u | there* | 19:11 |
| mrdeb | wow firefox 8 isout | 19:11 |
| Folklore | i'm not disagreeing with you, but I think the fact there are so many users who don't like unity speaks volumes.

| brohan | urlin2u, thanks, have that site up on another computer to read while doing it | 19:33 |
| urlin2u | brohan, your last install always has the grub control unless you put grub in the partition rather then the master boot record. You can change this by running in the ubuntu you want to have the grub control sudo grub-install /dev/sda if the hd is sda sdb if sdb. | 19:34 |
| brohan | urlin2u doing the steps outlined, will that install grub2 to the MBR? | 19:35 |
| raptor67782 | hello world | 19:36 |
| urlin2u | brohan, 3 commands the fdisk-l to confirm the partition as when you boot a cd or thumb it can get changed then the next two commands yes the mbr will be reloaded. NOtice this one as it is for Natty and releses afterwards that was why I said read carefully. sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/boot /dev/sdX | 19:37 |

| urlin2u | brohan, cool many miss that although the one above works generally. | 19:38 |

| claushetzer | hey all, first time here so please forgive any lapses of etiquette. i just upgraded from natty to oneiric on my 64-bit machine, and I can log into unity just fine, but none of my GUI programs are working now. Starting, say, Chromium from the command line returns the error message: "symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_datalist_get_data". Apt-get says that my libgtk2.0 is up to date | 19:39 |
| rhizmoe | aprops of nothing, i think this weekend is when i downrev or install mint or something | 19:39 |
| rhizmoe | claushetzer: reinstall. oneiric is gtk3 | 19:39 |

| brohan | ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt | 19:40 |
| brohan | ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt /dev/sda3 | 19:40 |

| claushetzer | rhismoe: i also have gtk3.0 u to date according to dpkg-query. still reinstall? | 19:40 |
| clarkthehardy910 | to get my mic to work correctly | 19:40 |
| brohan | urlin2u is the above correct for the last placement of /dev/sda3, or should it be /dev/sda1 ? | 19:40 |
| rhizmoe | claushetzer: yep | 19:41 |
| claushetzer | rhizmoe: ok, thanks. was hoping to avoid this but when there's no choice there's no choice. appreciate your help. | 19:41 |
| rhizmoe | happy to help when possible :) | 19:42 |
| urlin2u | brohan, if sda3 is showing in the fdsik -l cammand as it has in your gparted screen shots it looks good. What happens is that on cd and usb boot the reading may be sdb, you always mount the actual ubuntu partition not the sda1 which was vista. | 19:42 |
| brohan | urlin2u thank you :-) | 19:42 |
| inz | claushetzer, is your libglib2.0-0 up to date? | 19:43 |

| kharloss | hi there. i have a strange problem. 3 days ago i encountered a big problem. at 12 ( i`m GMT + 2) PM my webserver stop responding / extremly slow conection using ssh. I see there is a large amount of data copied ( backup something maybe, or i don`t know) - i see this on hdd led, and harddisk sound like verry busy one. i`m not a power user, i`m more a webdesigner. somebody can help ? ( i | 20:04 |
| kharloss | mention, if i restart my webserver, everything it`s ok after) but restarting my server every night, ofcourse isn`t a solution. thanks in advance | 20:04 |
| ccmonster | denny, the last | 20:05 |
| denny | kharloss: take a look in your crontabs? | 20:05 |
| Deathpote | Hey! :) | 20:05 |
| ccmonster | i guess thats whats wrong | 20:05 |
| urlin2u | brohan, I have to get to some math homework hope thigs get working just read the stuff really carefully on that grub page, there are others on that are familiar with this area. | 20:06 |
| denny | ccmonster: yeah, it needs to be served through a webserver for the PHP to get interpreted | 20:06 |
| genii-around | kharloss: Also maybe check /var/log/apache2/access.log for the time period it was at | 20:06 |
| denny | ccmonster: try http://localhost/file.php (or wherever you put it under your apache root dir) | 20:07 |
| kharloss | ebery night at the same hour - at midnight the same thing happened | 20:07 |

| pfifo | is there a way to make a password change dialog pop up when a user logs in? The goal is to set a password on a livecd when it boots. | 20:58 |

| keis_ | obviously its not like an exe file | 21:31 |
| Akiraa | riffuatae, thanks... apparently, I can't put two keys in the known_hosts file. I have two servers accessed through port forwarding. so 192.168.x.y:1234 is one machine and 192.168.x.y:4567 another, while the downstream router knows to forward port 1234 to the first and 4657 to the other | 21:32 |
| riffautae | keis_: tz is like zip, you have to extract it. but that prolly means you also have to compile it, you should try to find a program that is in the repo unless you want to find out how to compile software | 21:32 |
| Guest39393 | no messages at all, everything sounds fine, and my computer boots to the usb stick. If my usb stick is not inserted it just says no boot device is connected | 21:32 |
| Akiraa | riffuatae, the workaround in this case is simply to delete the known_hosts file | 21:32 |
| haylo_ | would you guys please include these sensors if possible they seem indispensible :) | 21:32 |

| pfifo | bobweaver, can you explain a bit further? I dont recall that page giving instructions for creating a password at boot time (I do know however that you can HARD CODE a password into the livesystem itself) | 22:54 |
| haylo_ | & Rya_n sounds right | 22:54 |
| fellayaboy | thats one thing windows 7 has over linux currently right now..is the ability to repartition while your still using the operating system | 22:54 |
| qin | Rya_n: screen, tmux? | 22:54 |
| pfifo | bobweaver, no casper stays, it should autologin, and then ask for a password for the session, so you can lock screen and use sudo witth a password | 22:54 |
| Rya_n | dchernic: huh? | 22:54 |
| Rya_n | qin: huh? lol | 22:55 |
| dcherniv | Rya_n, nohup firefox & for example will run firefox and detach from terminal so you can type commands in the terminal again | 22:55 |
| dtigue | fellayaboy: being able to repartition while still using the OS is not exactly a feature and can actually cause alot of problems, probably more so for inexperienced users though | 22:56 |
| qin | Rya_n: either run program in background, as dcherniv shown you, or use multiplexer like tmux | 22:56 |

| fellayaboy | dtigue i see..i personally never had a problem with it on windows..i dont really support windows but that feature was extremely convenient and windows does a fast job at it to | 22:57 |
| dcherniv | Rya_n, puts a process in the background | 22:57 |
| dcherniv | Rya_n, nohup = no hang up, meaning even if terminal is closed program will still keep running | 22:57 |
| fellayaboy | dtigue, but i do agree. it might not be safe | 22:57 |
| bobweaver | pfifo: do you know how to use remastersys there is a option to make with your files or not one makes with password other is auto login | 22:58 |
| Rya_n | dcherniv: Cool. Still don't get the & though. Background, relative to what? | 22:58 |

| symb0l__ | I really dig unity, but I'm wondering if there is a way to disable the top bar and have the side panel extend to the top of the screen. anyone done this? | 23:09 |
| symb0l__ | historically I would just remove the gnome-panel executable | 23:09 |
| charminthemoose | Can anyone point me to a website that has generic icons for apps? like, web browser, IRC, etc etc. | 23:10 |
| jayar | symb0l__: i autohide the sidebar, and use docky. its like the OS X dock | 23:10 |
| dalek_ | ok.. here's my problem. I was running Ubuntu 10.10, and ALL video players were working fine. I had to do a fresh re-install from scratch since my backup drive failed. Now ONLY VLC media player works and every other player is slow choppy video and no audio. The video files I am trying to play look normal and indeed played perfectly pre-reinstall. Video properties are vid codec XVID MPEG-4 and audio codec MPEG 1 Audio, Layer 3 | 23:11 |
| dalek_ | (MP3). Obviously I have failed to install something which I had installed previously, but I can't work out what that component (or components) is. Please help! Can anyone suggest what I may be missing? VLC works perfectly, but I can't use my remote with that, so I want to use totem. | 23:11 |
| symb0l__ | jayar: yes I like docky also. I used docky/gnome do for a long time, but I really want to give unity a chance. | 23:11 |
| ChibiTan | yeats: Doesn't look like it. | 23:11 |

| m4v | bit0: that is offtopic here, but is Debian the one that has problems with Mozilla. Since their trademarks aren't free enough for be included in Debian. You can ask futher in #ubuntu-offtopic | 23:26 |
