[00:00] <pooltable> _rod2k please list a program
[00:01] <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.
[00:02] <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
[00:03] <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
[00:04] <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?
[00:05] <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
[00:06] <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).
[00:07] <_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
[00:08] <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] <Pumpkin-> my troll detector is going off
[00:09] <SIFTU> Pumpkin-: lol
[00:09] <glioros> apwbdjp:  I provide to companies a service such as dropbox
[00:09] <bindi> lol
[00:09] <apwbdjp> Hum.. then yeah, you could go for it, but to answer your original question, you WILL need a good upload speed.
[00:09] <LoganKrane> Thanks to all of you guys that helped me out! It took a little maneuvering, but I got it installed. Just have to figure out how to use it and get my wireless to work.
[00:09] <SIFTU> glioros: just do it!!
[00:10] <glioros> thats my concern... guys.. what it gonna happen with the upload speed...
[00:10] <airtonix_> i'm looking to remove window decorations from the window switcher in compiz on 11.04, (i just need to know the window matching rule that would apply to the alt+tab window switcher)
[00:10] <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] <glioros> are there different isps?
[00:10] <glioros> i cant find something///
[00:11] <crass> hmm, but I already have libc-bin installed
[00:12] <Guest54027> dedicated to all the many many love myself more thank you : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdxgUhSWImc
[00:13] <klemax> Hello, How to print cpu usage in 1 minute intervals per user?
[00:14] <_Rod2k> apwbbdjp By "0. Make sure you have an appropriate data plan with your phone contract " do they mean that I must have an internet-based-service with the operator?
[00:14] <glioros> anybody can suggest me a good ISP for my server in United Kingdom ?
[00:14] <aetas-dk> So I have installed Ubuntu server, jay…its connected to the tv and I have a black screen - any clue to what to do next? I would like to be able to see what I write =)
[00:14] <glioros> apw: do you think this is good http://shop.virginmedia.com/broadband/up-to-100mb.html ??
[00:15] <klemax> glioros: uk2
[00:15] <apwbdjp> _Rod2k, I guess it just means your phone can connect to the internet.
[00:16] <klemax> glioros: maybe rapidswitch too
[00:16] <LoganKrane> Question, do I need certain drivers for certain things on my computer with Ubuntu? My wireless card does not seem to be working.
[00:17] <pac1> LoganKrane, what does the system log say about it?
[00:17] <glioros> klemax: these are web hosting companies... I need a good ISP so to establish a server at my home.//
[00:17] <LoganKrane> Where do I find that in Ubuntu?
[00:17] <pac1> dmesg
[00:17] <klemax> glioros: ah sorry
[00:17] <pac1> or dmesg|less
[00:18] <pac1> to page through it
[00:18] <LoganKrane> Where do I type that in?
[00:18] <aetas-dk> So I have installed Ubuntu server, jay! its connected to the tv and I have a black screen - any clue to what to do next? I would like to be able to see what I write.
[00:18] <pac1> start a terminal
[00:18] <_Rod2k> I'm gonna make my dinner. A huge thank you to apwbdjp for the tip =)
[00:19] <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
[00:20] <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
[00:21] <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.
[00:22] <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.
[00:23] <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> LoganKrane, I'd google linux makerofwirelesscard model
[00:23] <pac1> If its common, someone else has been down that road.
[00:24] <leo> is it ok to install the plugins-bad?
[00:24] <pac1> glioros, enough for what?
[00:24] <LoganKrane> pacl, Thanks for the help. :P
[00:24] <moonunitzappa> is their a limt on the size of a file i can copy/paste to a external USB HDD?
[00:24] <Guest15209> I can't get xfburn to see a blank disk in my dvd drive any help?
[00:24] <leo> is it ok to install the plugins-bad?
[00:24] <moonunitzappa> im trying to move a 5 gig file and it keeps saying its to large
[00:25] <moonunitzappa> anyone have any ideas?
[00:25] <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] <moonunitzappa> ah
[00:25] <pac1> someone might.
[00:26] <moonunitzappa> what filesystem can i use to move something from  my ubuntu desktop to my windows dual boot?
[00:26] <Bartzy> Hi
[00:26] <leo> anyone?
[00:26] <apwbdjp> moonunitzappa, NTFS, I believe.
[00:26] <baaaac> ?
[00:26] <Bartzy> with gnome-terminal, opening new terminals (tabs) is a bit slow. Takes 1-2 seconds. Any idea?
[00:26] <leo> can anyone help? is it safe to install plugins-bad package?
[00:26] <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
[00:27] <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
[00:28] <Driiper> Hello! I'
[00:28] <moonunitzappa> the file is an ISO apwbdjp
[00:28] <stevejb> does anyone have a momennt to help figure out an getting HDMI video out to work on a laptop with ATI graphics
[00:28] <moonunitzappa> ok ty
[00:28] <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?
[00:28] <hammommah> anyone here?
[00:28] <hammommah> lag soz
[00:29] <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*
[00:30] <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
[00:31] <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] <hammommah> drwxrwxr-x this is permissions for folder i cant see?
[00:31] <pac1> apwbdjp great answer.
[00:33] <hammommah> stevejb, dont those perm say i should have full access?
[00:33] <apwbdjp> pac1, thanks ^^
[00:36] <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?
[00:37] <stevejb> if you want a file to have fully open permissions
[00:37] <stevejb> you can say chmod 777 somefile
[00:37] <tibo_> hi, how can I disable the automatic window maximize when switching workspace ? (11.10) thx
[00:38] <stevejb> then it is readable, writible, and executable by everyone
[00:39] <hammommah> lovely do i use -Rv to apply to all folders and files within media drive?
[00:39] <stevejb> I think that that would work
[00:39] <hammommah> and do i need 0777 like when setting up samba?
[00:39] <Josesordo> how is the command to test the 3D rendering ?
 glxinfo ?
[00:40] <Josesordo> tibo_, mm.. I guest..let me see
[00:40] <hammommah> stevejb, thanks for the help chief.... found tutorial on chmod time for some quick learning :)
[00:40] <stevejb> I haven't messed with samba in a while
[00:40] <Josesordo> tibo_, no, is another.. glx something.. appear a window with a cube..and tell you the frame/second.. of your graphic card
[00:41] <stevejb> good luck
[00:41] <tibo_> glxgears
[00:41] <stevejb> anyone able to help with an ATI hdmi video problem?
[00:41] <Technicus> Hello . . . 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] <Josesordo> tibo_, yeah =) .. 60 FPS .. is bad =/
  depends... which platform ?
[00:42] <lilrubyprog> Hey, can anybody help me integrate my thunderbird (calender, mail, etc) with gnome 3?
[00:43] <Josesordo> tibo_, Ubuntu 11.10
[00:43] <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.
[00:43] <Josesordo> tibo_, I just did a fresh install .. I guess this version is using the native driver for my ATI
[00:43] <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?
[00:44] <ich_> hi
 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
[00:45] <Josesordo> tibo_, well is a laptop .. old ASUS hehe
[00:46] <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
[00:47] <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?
[00:48] <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?
[00:49] <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
 ok... maybe that's all your card can provide :/
[00:50] <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.
 if it's an integrated GPU, they are supposed to be slow, especially on an old laptop...
[00:51] <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.
[00:52] <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
[00:53] <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
[00:54] <escott> dr_willis, its not a binary its a library
[00:54] <Johnnychimpo> anyone know how to make my ubuntu partition dual boot bigger so i dont get the out of space issue
[00:54] <gantry> dr_willis I appreciate you telling me to "go google it" after I have been doing so for the last couple days
[00:54] <dr_willis> somthing seems... odd about that escott  ;)
[00:54] <Johnnychimpo> nice
[00:54] <bodom> HI there. I have a problem with the system console: it is too long and scrolls out of the monitor. Any ideas on how to solve it?
[00:54] <escott> dr_willis, ldd `which gnome-shell` | grep mutter
[00:54] <CharminTheMoose> I'm running fbpanel with aewm and fbpanel refuses to hide/unhide windows when clicking them from the taskbar, but right-clicking and selecting iconify/raise works. What's up with this behaviour?
[00:54] <dr_willis> gantry:  have you specifically gone to askubuntu.com ?
[00:54] <bjrohan> First My network is SLOW. speedtest.net shows .5MBps. If I do a network stop, (which causes all my icons to change colors) and o a restart, then reboot to get my icons back to normal I can then get 7 MBps download
[00:55] <apwbdjp> Johnnychimpo, gparted will do fine, for resizing partitions, I believe
[00:55] <Johnnychimpo> thanks
[00:55] <gantry> I'm in ask#ubuntu now
[00:55] <gantry> I can't imagine that google would not index askubuntu.com
[00:55] <Josesordo> In ubuntu 11.10, I should install driver from ATI for my graphic card? or use the native one?
[00:55] <bjrohan> About an hour later, slow internet again.  When I get slow internet ALL of my audio is also garbled, be it playing a CD, testing the speakers etc. When I restart network, audio is fine as well, then gradually degrades
[00:55] <dr_willis> gantry:  so you havent tried the site...
[00:56] <robin0800> psusi, you can move it to the bottom using a hack
[00:56] <gantry> I'm looking there now
[00:56] <gantry> so far no luck
[00:56] <Dan_E> They don't show up in flie system either.
[00:56] <Johnnychimpo> failed to download package files
[00:56] <Johnnychimpo> wtf
[00:56] <Dan_E> sorry file system
[00:57] <apwbdjp> Dan_E, do non-blank CDs work fine?
[00:57] <atari2600a> is there a way to disable onboard from the lock screen?
[00:57] <gantry> I haven't found anything in the FAQ
[00:57] <atari2600a> I ran it from shell once to see what it was & now it's there every time I lock
[00:57] <apwbdjp> Johnnychimpo, what did you type?
[00:57] <Dan_E> they did but i will check
[00:57] <gantry> OK, so out of 1567 users, the best answer I have is "go google it"
[00:58] <Johnnychimpo> i just clicked on gparted in the app installer and thats what it said
[00:58] <apwbdjp> Hum.. try it from cli: sudo apt-get install gparted
[00:58] <Dan_E> yes they do.
[00:59] <Johnnychimpo> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[00:59] <dr_willis> gantry:  i belive the answer is 'its not setable that way at this time' but have no proof of that
[00:59] <apwbdjp> Johnnychimpo, do so
[00:59] <dr_willis> gantry:  ive seen this question asked befor in here and never seen a way to do it mentioned
[01:00] <apwbdjp> bjrohan, what's the machine with the problem? Laptop? old?
[01:00] <dr_willis> gantry:  it might be doable with a combo of compiz settings
[01:00] <bjrohan> laptop, it has a broadcom 4400 wireless modem
[01:00] <Johnnychimpo> E: Unable to synchronize mmap - msync (28: No space left on device)
[01:00] <Johnnychimpo> E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
[01:00] <bjrohan> Dell inspiron 6400
[01:01] <gantry> I no longer use Unity
[01:01] <gantry> Unity is worse than gnome-shell
[01:01] <greentech> hi has anyone tried running ebox and ispconfig on the same ubuntu server?
[01:01] <dr_willis> whatever....
[01:01] <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
[01:02] <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?!
[01:03] <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?
[01:04] <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.
[01:05] <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] <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.
[01:06] <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
[01:07] <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?
[01:08] <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
[01:09] <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
[01:10] <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.. ;)
[01:11] <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
[01:12] <KillaByte> anyone have an alienware m17X running ubuntu?
[01:14] <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.
[01:15] <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
[01:16] <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?
[01:17] <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] <flopex> Dan_E: no, it's an ubuntu package
[01:17] <dr_willis> !nomodeset | KillaByte
[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
[01:18] <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?
[01:19] <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
[01:20] <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
[01:21] <apwbdjp> WHAT?! Over 9000!
[01:22] <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?
[01:23] <dr_willis> theres a check box during istall that installs a lot of this by default.
[01:23] <dr_willis> !cli
[01:23] <|Anthony|> why doesn't that suggest ctrl+alt+t
[01:24] <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
[01:25] <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?
[01:26] <flopex> nimbiotics: a folder starting with a period means that it is hidden, press ctrl+h
[01:26] <dr_willis> bbl
[01:27] <nimbiotics> flopex: I've got "Show hidden and backup files" ON by default
[01:28] <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
[01:29] <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
[01:30] <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
[01:31] <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
[01:32] <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
[01:33] <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
[01:34] <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
[01:35] <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
[01:36] <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".
[01:37] <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)
[01:38] <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
[01:39] <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"
[01:40] <JZApples> szal, that's silly
[01:40] <webPragmatist> I tried - ** /var /etc /home but no luck
[01:40] <webPragmatist> please?
[01:40] <capeta> how can i install pcre package?
[01:40] <apwbdjp> nimbiotics, did locate work?
[01:40] <Johnnychimpo> how can i check how much room i have on my ubuntu install
[01:41] <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?
[01:42] <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] <dr_willis> Johnnychimpo:  df -h    is common
[01:43] <capeta> szal: no, ty :)
[01:43] <bonhoffer> anyone know what i should search to see what that icon (Alt+tab) icon is called?
[01:43] <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
[01:44] <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] <bodom> anybody knows how to resize the system console?
[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
[01:45] <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] <dr_willis> !flash
[01:46] <dr_willis> i just use what the repo tool installs..
[01:46] <irreverant> what's the command for updating my librariers?
[01:46] <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] <flopex> irreverant: sudo apt-get update
[01:46] <Jordan_U> nimbiotics: Has "sudo updatedb" completed yet?
[01:46] <szal> dr_willis: also I think I already told you that the above page is outdated
[01:47] <irreverant> that's right
[01:47] <dr_willis> Johnnychimpo:  check  the partition mamager tool  perhaps.
[01:47] <Jordan_U> irreverant: What do you mean by "librariers"?
[01:47] <Johnnychimpo> do i allocate is as linux swap
[01:47] <hammommah> in a bash script how do i get info outputted to screen to get written to file?
[01:47] <dr_willis> Johnnychimpo:  clarify whats going on.
[01:47] <irreverant> the libraries from cononical
[01:47] <Johnnychimpo> trying to make my dual boot disk have more room for ubuntu
[01:48] <irreverant> Jordan_U to update
[01:48] <apwbdjp> hammommah, use the > operator. ex: ps -ef > myfile.txt
[01:48] <Johnnychimpo> trying to split drive for w7 and half for ubuntu
[01:48] <bodom> hammommah: >
[01:48] <Johnnychimpo> i have got 432 unallocated from ubuntu live/ gparted
[01:48] <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
[01:49] <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
[01:50] <apwbdjp> Johnnychimpo, right click on the ubuntu partition, resize, and grow it
[01:50] <bodom> anybody?
[01:50] <dr_willis> Johnnychimpo:  you got ubuntu installed allready?
[01:50] <Johnnychimpo> yes
[01:50] <irreverant> I can't update the software sources to download the newest version of Ubuntu
[01:51] <Johnnychimpo> i think
[01:51] <flopex> irreverant: how have you been updating them?
[01:51] <Johnnychimpo> host and win7 are same
[01:51] <Jordan_U> nimbiotics: What application has the file open?
[01:51] <hammommah> apwbdjp, would this work? http://pastebin.com/G0MAQQKa
[01:51] <irreverant> No, to be honest it's been a while...
[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?
[01:52] <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] <irreverant> flopex: No, to be honest it's been a while...Maybe six months
[01:52] <Johnnychimpo> its along side w7
[01:52] <flopex> irreverant: go to the software center > click edit > software sources and then update from there
[01:52] <apwbdjp> hammommah, the ex: I said was an example ^^, the operator is > thefile, only
[01:52] <Steak> W:  Failed to fetch cdrom://Ubuntu [filenames]
[01:52] <Johnnychimpo> installed of unbunto.com
[01:52] <Johnnychimpo> side by side
[01:52] <dr_willis> Johnnychimpo:  if you mean INSIDE windows via wubi.. you are doing all this wrong
[01:52] <hammommah> apwbdjp, ahhhh is see
[01:52] <Johnnychimpo> damn it.  i got to start over then
[01:53] <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] <Johnnychimpo> ok, so i should shrink the w7 drive to half. then should i make the other half a primary partition?
[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?
[01:54] <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.
[01:55] <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
[01:56] <hammommah> :)
[01:56] <urlin2u> Johnnychimpo, here is a link if you want to move the wubi to a partition. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1519354
[01:56] <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..
[01:57] <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?
[01:58] <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] <dr_willis> Steak:  correct..       install it if you want
[01:59] <[PanzeR]DzaDze> hello..
[01:59] <samuel> hello guys
[01:59] <[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.
[02:00] <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.
[02:01] <dr_willis> Steak:  self installing executalbes like windows usesx have a whole host of other issues..
[02:02] <k3n> qt sdk package name?
[02:02] <dr_willis> Steak:  and windows is movine towards a package manager/market type setup bit by bit also over time
[02:02] <[PanzeR]DzaDze> does someone here knows something about gtk theming ?
[02:02] <Weedout> Im 8:07pm 11.11.11
[02:02] <dr_willis> [PanzeR]DzaDze:  thats a large topic.
[02:02] <r4y> OK, I get it. I just have to remember not to do sudo apt-get autoclean and sudo apt-get clean
[02:03] <apwbdjp> r4y, you can autoclean and clean, once you made your iso ^^
[02:03] <antnash_> alright guys. What am I doing wrong in this bash script...     if [! -e filename]; then
[02:03] <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? 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] <r4y> Right
[02:03] <[PanzeR]DzaDze> i need someone who know it,  i need to change right click menu selection color
[02:04] <MagicJ> I have a planar touch screen running on 11.04 - works VERY well.  How do I change the touch sensitivity
[02:04] <Steak_> flash installed just fine with the Software Center... thanks guys
[02:04] <apwbdjp> ygor, someone today tried logging out with ctrl+alt+delete, could that work with you?
[02:05] <dr_willis> Steak_:  theres a check box during install that would have auto installed it i think.
[02:05] <darthindy> heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
[02:05] <r4y> Alright, thank you.
[02:05] <darthindy> wasup guys
[02:05] <k3n> qt sdk package name so I can install it?
[02:05] <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.
[02:06] <k3n> is qt already on ubuntu?
[02:06] <escott> MagicJ, you don't
[02:06] <Jordan_U> !notunity | MagicJ
[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.
[02:07] <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?
[02:08] <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?
[02:09] <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?
[02:10] <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
[02:11] <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
[02:12] <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.
[02:13] <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
[02:14] <k3n> nope still broken packages
[02:15] <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?
[02:16] <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] <miadbahrami> help me for connect vpn ,pptp in ubunt
[02:17] <admiralshlorky> is there a way to start a process as a background process with a script?
[02:17] <apwbdjp> k3n, it'll just open the synaptic package manager, which might say something about the broken depencencies
[02:17] <admiralshlorky> through the terminal, specifically transmission-cli
[02:17] <k3n> it didn't... i'm in the same shell is the one i've been using sudo
[02:17] <pfifo> I use a diskless node, i have a USBlive image customized and have aprox 1200mb of disk space available, I would like suggestions on running a vbox machine with windows xp. It it possible?
[02:17] <k3n> apwbdjp, oh it dude... i'm on dual screen.... couldn't see it
[02:17] <skegeek> Someone in #VirtualMin said it works pretty well with 10.04 and/or earlier releases. Is this true or do some people do custom "hacks" to -make- it work?
[02:18] <Khayyam> Does anyone have any reccomendations for ubuntu 11.10 as far as 64-bit or 32-bit? I noticed 32-bit is reccomended on the download website.
[02:19] <dr_willis> Khayyam:  go 64bit of your hardware supports it.
[02:19] <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] <eHAPPY> Its nearly 2012...why is anyone using 32bit on modern hardware ^_^
[02:19] <pfifo> i have 27 32 bit laptops
[02:20] <apwbdjp> eHAPPY, on netbooks
[02:20] <dr_willis> arm cpus are 32bit at this time i hear. 64bit ones comming soon
[02:20] <dr_willis> but thats not quite the same ;)
[02:20] <apwbdjp> eHAPPY, I'm running on a Intel Atom processor (1.6Ghz..) with 1gig of ram
[02:20] <cryptodira> escott, thanks.
[02:20] <jost_> how to reconnect to a broken pipe?
[02:20] <admiralshlorky> my home media server has a atom processor
[02:21] <dr_willis> some atoms are 64bit i thought
[02:21] <apwbdjp> admiralshlorky, yeah I think it's to keep it fanless, right?
[02:21] <etandel> Need some help: How do I change my DM from lightdm to GDM? Or better, where is the file that has the script that starts ligthtdm on boot?
[02:21] <robin0800> Steak, you can do it from the adobi site which will then open the software centre
[02:21] <admiralshlorky> apwbdjp: nah, it's because it's a netbook
[02:21] <dr_willis> etandel:  sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm
[02:21] <admiralshlorky> with external storage attached
[02:21] <psusi> jost_, if it is an anonymous pipe, you don't...
[02:21] <escott> etandel, uninstall gdm and install lightdm
[02:22] <pfifo> dr_willis, Hello, good to see you
[02:22] <apwbdjp> admiralshlorky, oh, I thought. 'cuz I read somewhere that some nettops have atom to be fanless
[02:22] <jost_> psusi, this is what happened: I connected via ssh to my server and ran an update with apt-get
[02:22] <dr_willis> pfifo:  moo! ;)
[02:22] <etandel> Thx. Its for a friend's pc and i don't use ubuntu, just arch =( .
[02:23] <dr_willis> some nettops are fanless..
[02:23] <admiralshlorky> apwbdjp: some do, but this is a linux channel, and linux people have boners for repurposing old hardware
[02:23] <zorobabel> okay I'm stupid, how do I resume an operation after pressing ctl + z in terminal
[02:23] <jost_> this update prompted me, but by the time i notices the prompt i got a "broken pipe"-Error
[02:23] <admiralshlorky> apwbdjp quite frankly, i can't blame them
[02:23] <dr_willis> zorobabel:  'bg/fg' commands
[02:23] <jost_> now the apache is down and nothing works anymore... how to recover this?
[02:23] <kang_> helo
[02:23] <apwbdjp> admiralshlorky, actually, it's what I spend my days doing. Buying antique machines and making them run again.
[02:24] <kang_> hello
[02:24] <dr_willis> !hello
[02:24] <psusi> jost_, restart the upgrade?
[02:24] <pfifo> kang_, hi
[02:24] <D_Russ> anyone know how to do changing wallpapers in unity?
[02:24] <robin0800> Steak, thats not right you just have to select which one you want on the adobe site
[02:25] <jost_> psusi: The apt-get process is still running (and probably waiting for input)
[02:26] <apwbdjp> jost_, kill it, restart the upgrade
[02:27] <jost___> psusi: The apt-get process is still running (and probably waiting for input). I don't want to kill it, as this might break something.
[02:27] <apwbdjp> psusi, It has pretty good crash recovery, I believe
[02:27] <Josesordo> how I can see the system tray icons on Ubuntu 11.10? .. Please
[02:27] <apwbdjp> psusi, i interupted many upgrades, before
[02:27] <robin0800> Johnnychimpo, then you create a new partition in the unused space
[02:27] <zorobabel> dr_willis, 'no such job' is the reply
[02:28] <zorobabel> and no jobs listed after 'jobs'
[02:28] <jost___> apwbdjp, i'm the one having that problem :-)
[02:28] <dr_willis> zorobabel:  what did you do exactly?  you may want to check some bash guides on 'job control'
[02:28] <Steak> robin0800: I got it figured out, thanks
[02:28] <apwbdjp> ^^ jost_ you'll have to excuse me it's 2:30 AM in here ^^
[02:29] <zorobabel> just paused via ctrl+z during a sudo apt-get
[02:29] <zorobabel> but okay
[02:29] <dr_willis> the sudo may be the key. its running as the root user perhaps?
[02:29] <jost___> apwbdjp: no problem - 3:30 AM here :-)
[02:30] <apwbdjp> jost_, I believe it's not much of a risk. And keep this in mind for further ssh: http://mattiasgeniar.be/2008/06/04/screen-a-must-for-ssh/
[02:31] <apwbdjp> jost___, you could've gone back exactly where you left it.
[02:31] <dr_willis> screen, byobu, tmux, and i think theres another one or 2 similer apps...
[02:32] <jost___> ok, thanks for the hint
[02:32] <D_Russ> can someone help me out with nautilis?
[02:33] <apwbdjp> dr_willis, I find byobu not so suitable for small terminals (netbook again). Never tried tmux really
[02:33] <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
[02:34] <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!
[02:35] <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
[02:36] <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.
[02:37] <KSHawkEye> I'm looking for a command prompt way to create an iso, any ideas?
[02:37] <dr_willis> !info mkisofs
[02:37] <apwbdjp> KSHawkEye, from a CD, or build it from files?
[02:37] <dr_willis> hmm.. what was that command.
[02:38] <apwbdjp> !info genisoimage
[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
[02:39] <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?
[02:40] <Jim__> hello?
[02:41] <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/
[02:42] <r4y> I am going to install Ubuntu 10.04
[02:42] <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
[02:43] <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?
[02:44] <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
[02:45] <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
[02:46] <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..
[02:47] <[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] <dr_willis> theres dozens of tools to burn an iso to cd in windows. ;)
[02:48] <r4y> Name some for Jim
[02:48] <dr_willis> !burn
[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!
[02:49] <r4y> Jim__: you are running Windows, right?
[02:50] <r4y> Nice, Jim can go here to download it: http://www.imgburn.com/
[02:51] <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.
[02:52] <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
[02:53] <robin0800> MagicJ  gnome3 classic is alright
[02:53] <D_Russ> i guess thats always an option i am just not used to doing it that way.
[02:53] <BrianXP7_> hellohello?
[02:53] <r4y> I didn't see jim leave, O well.
[02:53] <BrianXP7_> lag
[02:53] <BrianXP7_> ...
[02:53] <BrianXP7_> hi
[02:54] <dr_willis> i found gnome3 classic a crutch that shold have been left out. ;)
[02:54] <BrianXP7_> can someone help me with a problem
[02:54] <apwbdjp> BrianXP7_, please, do ask.

[02:54] <bonhoffer> what diff tools are the most polished / easy for ubuntu?
[02:54] <r4y> or with the live cd of Ubuntu?, or both?

[02:57] <apwbdjp> BrianXP7_, did you check the Additional Driver list?
[02:57] <BrianXP7_> CAN SOMEONE HELP ME!!!
[02:57] <BrianXP7_> Yes
[02:57] <BrianXP7_> I did
[02:57] <FloodBot1> BrianXP7_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:57] <BrianXP7_> It's an Intel 82865g
[02:57] <apwbdjp> BrianXP7_, System -> Administration -> Install Additional Driver.
[02:58] <BrianXP7_> Did that... Nothing comes out
[02:58] <webPragmatist> Zenoss looks most promising
[02:59] <BrianXP7_> apwbdjp, compiz and everything worked on 10.10
[02:59] <insano> Can anyone help me with an error in my Ubuntu 11.10 guest on OSX 10.7.2 Host? Here is an ls of a shared folder from within my guest.-rwxrwx--- 1 root vboxsf   138 2011-11-01 18:26 sess.php
[02:59] <insano> ?????????? ? ?    ?          ?                ? test4.php
[02:59] <apwbdjp> BrianXP7_, http://askubuntu.com/questions/38144/video-not-working-properly-on-an-integrated-intel-82865g-card
[03:00] <apwbdjp> BrianXP7_, there seems to be a few solutions to try, here. Try that first.
[03:01] <BrianXP7_> thanks
[03:02] <dr_willis> insano:  looks like file system curruption. time for a  fsck
[03:02] <insano> Here is how I am able to create the behavior seen in my test4.php file….
[03:02] <insano> 1) Attempt to access a file that does not exist in the guest via Apache running on the guest
[03:03] <insano> 2) Create the file via the host
[03:03] <BrianXP7_> apwbdjp, does reverting that driver in natty back to 2.4 work?
[03:04] <apwbdjp> BrianXP7_, I have no idea. Come on, you're a Linux user, you should learn to try things yourself.
[03:04] <BrianXP7_> apwbdjp, i'm a 13-year-old linux user who knows how to use aptitude
[03:05] <apwbdjp> BrianXP7_, we all started like that. You're a brain connected to the internet, you can learn how to do anything ^^
[03:05] <dr_willis> internet brains taking oveer th3 world... sounds like a good movie..
[03:06] <BrianXP7_> apwbdjp, k i'll try that
[03:06] <guerrilha>  hello guys! after iv used gparted to resize an windows partition, i cant boot it. windows recovery tools as bootrec fixes wont work. Is there a way via gparted or some linux alike to fix up the windows partition handling so the tools  could work, or even set up the booting partition via such tool ?
[03:06] <whateverelse2> hirens boot cd
[03:06] <dr_willis>   #windows may know other tools also
[03:08] <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
[03:09] <BrianXP7> apwbdjp, another thing. my unity 2d launcher gets a spasm when i drag it up and down
[03:09] <whateverelse2> vista wont recognize it
[03:09] <dr_willis> windows7 can resize its own  filesysetm while its in use....
[03:10] <apwbdjp> BrianXP7, I'm not exactly aquainted with unity. Did the fixes I sent you improve anything?
[03:10] <BrianXP7> apwbdjp, i'm still upgrading... o.O
[03:10] <dr_willis> !mount | truth63
[03:11] <dr_willis> truth63:  no need to msg me. i may have to leave at any time
[03:11] <truth63> ok
[03:11] <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?
[03:12] <truth63> yes under peripheral drives
[03:13] <apwbdjp> Then clic on it, and clic Mount
[03:13] <truth63> theres no place to do so
[03:14] <truth63> It says volumes unknown
[03:15] <apwbdjp> Hum.. unformatted hard drive?
[03:17] <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] <EvilResistance> not when mounting but when viewing it
[03:17] <EvilResistance> ah
[03:17] <truth63> format benchmark safe removal
[03:18] <dr_willis> truth63:  what fs was it using? what sort of hd/case is it?
[03:18] <dr_willis> ive seen those 'green hd's' that dont work ol older machines

[03:20] <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] <Consty> Anyone also having issues with that on 11.10?
[03:20] <pdkl> im using ATI's driver
[03:21] <pdkl> was it a new install or an upgrade?
[03:21] <Consty> pdkl: New install, but I did not enable it through the Additional Drivers application. Instead I downloaded it direct from the site and attempted to install. It says it's successful and everything but doesn't work when I reboot.
[03:22] <Consty> pdkl: If I use Additional Drivers and select the proprietary FGLRX driver it works, but if i select the post-release updates one it always fails. That's why I tried downloading it from the site, but that also fails.
[03:23] <pdkl> Consty: i did this... http://askubuntu.com/questions/62808/ati-incompatible-with-gnome-shell
[03:23] <pdkl> to get  it working right in unity and gnome shell
[03:24] <[PanzeR]DzaDze> how to make this spacing from the selected area to be 0 ?! ----> http://pic.mk/images/screenrtr.png
[03:24] <Consty> pdkl:  hmm.. it looks like there's a bunch of packages that he gets before he installs
[03:25] <apwbdjp> 3:24 in casablanca, time to go to bed
[03:25] <Consty> pdkl: wonder if that's the problem.
[03:25] <pdkl> suppose so
[03:25] <pdkl> Its how i got my drivers working
[03:25] <Consty> ok I'll give it a shot
[03:25] <Consty> thanks
[03:25] <aeon-ltd> [PanzeR]DzaDze: GTK? it will probably be defined in the config file /usr/share/themes somewhere
[03:25] <apwbdjp> I'll see you guys! Keep rocking, you're awesome!
[03:25] <GooeY> hi, all. I want to reinstall ubuntu. I found this as one of the options: sudo apt-get install -f. What will that do exactly?
[03:27] <plouffe> GooeY, man apt-get
[03:27] <GooeY> plouffe, is that a command?
[03:27] <[PanzeR]DzaDze> aeon-ltd,  i changed the menu x and y padding to 0 in the gtkrc file, and this i what i got.. it's has empty space
[03:28] <plouffe> GooeY, it's the command to view the manual for apt-get
[03:28] <GooeY> oh ok
[03:28] <plouffe> -f Fix; attempt to correct a system with broken dependencies in place. This option, when used with install/remove, can omit  ..
[03:29] <Consty> pdkl: If you don't mind me asking, how are you liking Unity in 11.10? After spending a day with it, I actually really like it now.
[03:29] <Consty> pdkl: Simple enough to operate, gets out of your way when you're doing stuff. At first I was very against it in 11.04, but it's grown on me.
[03:30] <webPragmatist> typically how is ldap authentication used in linux? just trying to not have to manage users if they already exist in active directory
[03:30] <aeon-ltd> [PanzeR]DzaDze: have you killed and restarted X after changing it?
[03:30] <webPragmatist> 4she
[03:33] <Crazy> hey~
[03:33] <webPragmatist> HI
[03:33] <Crazy> i just say something then go to play basketball~
[03:34] <[PanzeR]DzaDze> aeon-ltd,  yes i've killed, i have tried some others values, like 3,4.. and there was a change, but on 0, there's still a 1px space
[03:36] <rhizmoe> how come alt-tabbing doesn't bring applications to the front anymore? this has changed since i installed 11.10.
[03:36] <rhizmoe> all i get is a wiggling icon
[03:36] <[PanzeR]DzaDze> i want from this: http://pic.mk/images/screenrtr.png, to make it like this: http://pic.mk/images/screenqxq.png
[03:38] <hammoommah> anyone know how to force a 852 x 480 resolution?
[03:38] <mazda01> what does it mean to mount the image file to replay the logfile. I used ddrescue to save a dieing partition and it's xfs FS. when I try to run xfs_check, it says: Mount the filesystem to replay the log, and unmount it before
[03:38] <mazda01> re-running xfs_check.
[03:38] <Neldogz> Hey guys, something happend on my system with Pithos, i cant seem to run it without sudo. If i launch it without sudo its completely blank. I have tried reinstalling but still the same problem. Can anyone steer me in the right direction?
[03:39] <Neldogz> should i just go to the install folder for pithos and overwrite the perms?
[03:40] <mazda01> xfs filesystem people out here?
[03:41] <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
[03:42] <Neldogz> mazda01: if i were to reset the perms on the pithos folder would this satisfy sudo?
[03:42] <mazda01> no idea
[03:43] <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] <Neldogz> thank you
[03:43] <black_13> I get the message "Skipping X configuration because X drivers are not included"
[03:44] <mazda01> Neldogz,  the quick fix woiuld be to just add gksudo to the front of the normally run command BUT that's not a proper solution IMO
[03:44] <aeon-ltd> [PanzeR]DzaDze: what theme is this? there may be other parameters that control this
[03:44] <Consty> so the fglx driver seems to be working now, but it's slow as balls and no GL apps run. Unity appears to be operating in 2D mode
[03:45] <Consty> so strange
[03:45] <rhizmoe> meh
[03:45] <ddelony> Hi. I think a recent update broke AIM connectivity in Empathy.
[03:46] <robin0800> [PanzeR]DzaDze, use gnome-tweak-tool
[03:47] <mazda01> how do you mount an image file from ddrescue so it "replays" the logfile?
[03:49] <MagicJ> ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
[03:51] <aeon-ltd> no one got problems?
[03:53] <hammoommah> how do i force a resolution of 852 x 480?
[03:53] <truth63_> any one good with hdds?
[03:53] <hammoommah> changed xorg.conf but doesnt seem to change anything
[03:53] <urlin2u> hammoommah, will the computer support that resolution?
[03:54] <hammoommah> its plasma tv native resolution
[03:54] <urlin2u> hammoommah, try xrandr -s 852x480
[03:54] <hammoommah> kk brb
[03:54] <webPragmatist> hey guys i installed ldap-auth-client … can i run through the configuration again somehow?
[03:56] <hammoommah> urlin2u: size not avaliable in supported modes
[03:56] <urlin2u> hammoommah, I figure as such, thatis why I askeed
[03:57] <mao> I turn my wireless NIC in 64-bit system,then i can not turn on wireless NIC  in 32-bit system,anyone knows why?
[03:57] <mao> I turn off my wireless NIC in 64-bit system,then i can not turn on wireless NIC  in 32-bit system,anyone knows why?
[03:58] <truth63_> How do i get a HDD to get to where i can at least create an image of it to recover the data?
[04:00] <rhizmoe> erf. how much are floppies these days?
[04:00] <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.
[04:01] <aeon-ltd> rhizmoe: offtopic, but i doubt a lot even for 'hipster vintage' type value
[04:02] <truth63_> no os at all it was an external in a case now due to breaking usb 2.0 which happens alot with these vi had to remove it from the case
[04:03] <Alastair1> can anyone advise the easiest way to check a remote imap inbox and have it populate a MySQL db? it's for a web interface but i'm hoping there's a better way than php's imap functions to retrieve the messages. =/
[04:03] <urlin2u> truth63_, you have a way to plug it in?
[04:04] <truth63_> urlin2u yea sata to usb and is currently plugged in
[04:04] <urlin2u> truth63_, computer should see it, in does not?
[04:04] <urlin2u> it*
[04:05] <truth63_> urlin2u it does but wont allow me too open it
[04:05] <urlin2u> truth63_, what happens when yo try?
[04:05] <urlin2u> you*
[04:05] <hammoommah> how do i edit available resolutions?
[04:06] <truth63_> urlin2u it only shows in the disk utility
[04:08] <truth63_> urlin2u how would i get it to show up under devices and stuff?
[04:08] <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.
[04:10] <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
[04:11] <truth63_> urlin2u how do i put in fstab?
[04:11] <urlin2u> !fstab
[04:13] <urlin2u> !mount
[04:14] <urlin2u> truth63_, check the bots mount info as well for mounting the hd
[04:15] <truth63_> i am thanks i hope it works
[04:15] <truth63_> urlin2u it wont delete info will it?
[04:16] <urlin2u> truth63_, what, you would have to run a command made to delete, your question basically no
[04:17] <truth63_> urlin2u how do i find out the file sys?
[04:18] <urlin2u> truth63_, run sudo fdisk -l in the terminal it will list the partitions.
[04:20] <mordof> is there any software that will monitor my development files and refresh a firefox tab appropriately?
[04:20] <truth63_> urlin2u doesnt contain valid partition table
[04:20] <mordof> i know there are a few for win/os x.. but i can't find any for linux
[04:21] <urlin2u> truth63_, so that is what the whole fdisk readout says what is the whole context?
[04:22] <truth63_> Disk /dev/sdb doesn't contain contain a valid partition table
[04:23] <truth63_> urlin2u Disk /dev/sdb: 1000.2GB,
[04:23] <urlin2u> truth63_, not sure then really this is outside of my area of knowledge but that helps for you to mention, so we got farther ahead.
[04:24] <truth63_> Disk /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 doesnt contain a valid partition table.
[04:25] <truth63_> u know where i can get help?
[04:25] <urlin2u> truth63_, ah it is encrypted what encryption?
[04:26] <urlin2u> truth63_, actually that is a swap you sure that is the HD you want to access
[04:26] <truth63_> yes its got a 256 bit encryption
[04:26] <urlin2u> truth63_, haow were you getting in before?
[04:27] <truth63_> when it was in its case
[04:27] <truth63_> urlin2u it would jus let me on
[04:28] <urlin2u> truth63_, so how did it get encrypted?
[04:28] <truth63_> bc its now out of the case i assume
[04:28] <truth63_> and thats what i was told
[04:29] <urlin2u> truth63_, not sure myself this channel probably isn't the one or at least in a quiet time like now, what is the format of the partitons NTFS or ext
[04:30] <truth63_> umm i was using microsoft at the time but cant access it with microsoft
[04:30] <thorn> anyone have any tips on changing the scan dimensions with xsane?
[04:30] <urlin2u> truth63_, if the case3 is te key I nwouldn't know really can you look at the manufacturers website or contact them?
[04:31] <urlin2u> thr key*
[04:31] <urlin2u> the*
[04:31] <truth63_> urlin2u yea ill look it up rite quick
[04:33] <truth63_> AES encryption
[04:34] <truth63_> urlin2u
[04:34] <urlin2u> truth63_, yeah
[04:35] <peepsalot> anyone able to use pandora in firefox in gnome 3?  mine is locking up when it tries to advance to the second song.  with a message box that is outside the edge of the screen, and clicking Cancel or OK doesn't do anything.  I have to kill the process.  http://i.imgur.com/OdHuE.png
[04:36] <truth63_> WDBAAF0010HBK-01 the partition type?
[04:36] <peepsalot> i tried alt-click and drag to move the popup alert box window, but it only moves the entire firefox window
[04:37] <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.
[04:38] <peepsalot> well, it's probably flash's fault, but i think firefox should probably handle flash errors better
[04:39] <black_13> i am trying to install ubuntu as vmware disk

[04:40] <black_13> when i install the vmware tools i get errors with x drivers
[04:40] <crshbndct> hey is this the right channel to ask questions about installing ubuntu?
[04:40] <w30>                                                   /part
[04:41] <crshbndct> i am trying to install 10.04.3 lts on my machine. i cannot get any other version to work, so i thought maybe a LTS would work. but it wont boot from usb. i just get a blank screen after the plymouth loading screen is finished
[04:42] <urlin2u> crshbndct, do you know the graphics card?
[04:43] <crshbndct> yeah. its a radeon hd 6970
[04:43] <crshbndct> 2gb
[04:44] <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
[04:45] <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] <danub> hey all. what is some good software for packet analysis? on windows, I use capsa software (pretty graphs, easy breakdown of info, etc), but it looks like the best think for linux is just the default wireshark analysis. is there anything better?
[04:46] <crshbndct> i tried adding nomodeset to the grub command didnt work
[04:46] <bastian_> ss
[04:47] <urlin2u> crshbndct, what grub are you installed?
[04:48] <urlin2u> crshbndct, I don't do PM
[04:49] <danub> anyone?
[04:49] <thorn> so why do you have to run the scanner with root?
[04:49] <crshbndct> okay then. it is the default grub that unetbootin installs. i think its just plain old grub, not grub2
[04:50] <thorn> goodnight!
[04:51] <urlin2u> crshbndct, ah unetbootin that complicates things UI don't think you can get the real gui you normally see, what computer OS did you load the usb with?
[04:51] <urlin2u> UI=I*
[04:53] <crshbndct> urlin2u: i used windows to load it. i dont have a working linux install atm
[04:55] <urlin2u> crshbndct, you can probably load a alternate cd and just do a text install then use the installed grub menu to run with nomodeset if m=needed.
[04:56] <crshbndct> yeah i will probably have to do that
[04:57] <Jimmy_Kash> General question, which is better (if any) for hosting sites? Ubuntu or Centos?
[04:59] <tensorpudding> !best | Jimmy_Kash
[05:06] <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?
[05:07] <khayyam> all I see is a quick launch bar
[05:08] <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?
[05:09] <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
[05:10] <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
[05:11] <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
[05:12] <khayyam> did you try restarting?
[05:13] <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] <K`zan> Ok, just me apparently.  Thanks folks!
[05:14] <grandy> khayyam: yeah you can put an icon on the bar that essentially does that
[05:14] <grandy> what would you type into the terminal to start the program?
[05:21] <vinnie48> how do you lower the volume of the welcome tune of ubuntu?
[05:23] <urlin2u> vinnie48, you can turn it off in the startup applications.
[05:29] <J2ME-novice> hello
[05:31] <RudyValencia> Hi, I'm trying to set up WebDAV access based on Linux users with mod_auth_pam, but I can't access it from Windows, and I don't know why it isn't working. Any suggestions? (I want to be able to transfer files to my server without using SCP or FTP.)
[05:34] <Lesterwood> does ubuntu 10.04 use x.org or x11
[05:36] <J2ME-novice> Lesterwood: my guess would be x.org
[05:36] <ssfdre38> its xorg
[05:36] <glioros> guys plesk with ubuntu how can i increase the number of the imap connections?
[05:37] <ssfdre38> X11 is part of x.org
[05:38] <glioros> i opened the /etc/courier-imap/imapd but i cant find the maxperip
[05:38] <glioros> strange?
[05:39] <Trent0r> .
[05:41] <glioros> its /etc/courier-imap/imapd is found it
[05:43] <thetentmaker> how do I get rid of the ubuntu 11.10 unity desktop and go back to what i had in 10.10 ?
[05:43] <urlin2u> !nounity | thetentmaker
[05:43] <glioros> also gnome connection manager seems to not work on the latest version ubuntu guys
[05:43] <glioros> any ideas?
[05:44] <thetentmaker> which does ubuntu 10.10 use? is that gnome 2 ?
[05:45] <somsip> wiki cypress hilll
[05:45] <somsip> doh
[05:45] <Pici> thetentmaker: yes.
[05:45] <sidd_mak> how to integrate some other player then banshee in sound panel....??
[05:46] <glioros> pici any ideas why i cant run gnome connection manager?
[05:46] <r0gue> good morning, I want to install windows on a seperate partition, what are the options?
[05:46] <glioros> maybe is not supported on the new version ?
[05:46] <Pici> glioros: You mean network manager?
[05:46] <urlin2u> thetentmaker, I think so but natty and oneiric have a DE call classic not really exactly the same.
[05:47] <glioros> Yes I need to connect to my dedicated server..
[05:47] <urlin2u> called*
[05:47] <Pici> glioros: oh.. Uh... You may be able to get to that from a nautilus window, from the bookmarks.
[05:47] <glioros> like putty for windows for ubuntu is gnome connection manager
[05:47] <glioros> and it is not working for me
[05:48] <r0gue> good morning, I want to install windows on a seperate partition, what are the options?
[05:48] <glioros> rogue go to ubuntu website eveything is expained in detail
[05:48] <urlin2u> r0gue, the #windows channel hehe.
[05:48] <urlin2u> ##windows
[05:49] <r0gue> is boot repair already on the live cd?
[05:50] <urlin2u> r0gue, I would just reload drub using the wikis instructions.
[05:50] <urlin2u> !grub
[05:50] <r0gue> thanks ubottu
[05:50] <glioros> Pici still not working.. any other way to connect to another server?
[05:50] <chaospsychex> how do i install games from 'games.kde.org' i can't seem to find the download link?
[05:51] <chaospsychex> also i have downloaded a widget and it's not showing up in the 'add widget' menu
[05:51] <chaospsychex> i am using Kubuntu
[05:51] <chaospsychex> 11.10
[05:54] <r0gue> well, I went through the details and they say you need gparted to make a seperate partition for windows,I installed gparted, but there is only the unmount option, what will happen if I unmount?will my pc shutdown?I only have 1 harddisk
[05:54] <Lesterwood> can someone explain to me the relationship between xorg x11 gnome/kde/desktopenviornments and ssh x11 switch guys
[05:56] <r0gue> ??
[05:56] <urlin2u> r0gue, you can't change the partition your using, if you want to use a gparted disc, or a live ubuntu cd
[05:57] <r0gue> hmm, but the gparted I will be using from flash drive, is it text based or GUI?
[05:57] <urlin2u> gui r0gue
[05:57] <Lesterwood> someone explain to me what a filesystem in userspace is
[05:58] <urlin2u> Lesterwood, kind of slow here you have a while to wait?
[05:58] <Lesterwood> no problem
[05:58] <Lesterwood> sorry if i come accross as hasty
[05:59] <urlin2u> Lesterwood, nah but being that it is slow you might have some luck with looking on the web.
[05:59] <r0gue> which file should I download from gparted website in order to make a bootable flash drive?zip or iso?
[05:59] <Lesterwood> urlin2u, i understand, i have tried online, but the concept is confusing to me
[06:00] <thetentmaker> what do I do after sudo apt-get install gnome-panel to get rid of this unity desktop?
[06:00] <ezrafree> hello
[06:00] <glioros> guys urgent.. i restarted the server i am paying for.. the sites are working properly but the email not.. could not connect to mail server.. whats went wrong ?
[06:00] <ezrafree> can anyone tell me where i find system preferences in unity?
[06:00] <glioros> do i need to do something after the restart ?
[06:01] <r0gue> ???
[06:01] <urlin2u> r0gue, just the ISO and load it to a usb withe unetbootin or the startup disc creator.
[06:01] <r0gue> which file should I download from gparted website in order to make a bootable flash drive?zip or iso?
[06:01] <Flynn> I migrated my wubi install to it's own partition by following the following instructions:http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1519354  .  Is that any different from a "normal install?"
[06:01] <urlin2u> Flynn, nope
[06:02] <Flynn> urlin2u:  sweet thanx,
[06:02] <urlin2u> Flynn, is there a install grub part to it?
[06:02] <ezrafree> hello, how come i can't choose gnome in gdm? i don't see any options during the login screen
[06:02] <urlin2u> Flynn, or does the script do that for you?
[06:02] <Flynn> urlin2u:  grub-install --version
[06:03] <urlin2u> ezrafree, have you installed the shell is that what you want ggnome 3
[06:03] <r0gue> thanks, just an opinion, which iso is useful?gparted, system rescue cd or ubuntu rescue remix?
[06:03] <urlin2u> Flynn, your in like well Flynn
[06:03] <WarDekar> hey I have ~70 web crawlers running on one machine, and when they're all retrieving stuff it shoots the load average to ~15... what's the best way to figure out why and how to lower it?
[06:04] <urlin2u> r0gue, you want to resize or bulild partitionss you want gparted ISO
[06:04] <r0gue> and what about others?do they also contain gparted?
[06:04] <Flynn> urlin2u:  Sweet.  just wanted to make sure.  Thank you.
[06:04] <ezrafree> urlin2u: i am stil running gnome 2.32.0 how can i install gnome 3?
[06:05] <urlin2u> r0gue, I forget you will have to look closer, a regular ubuntu cd has it installed.
[06:05] <ezrafree> my goal is to run compiz and gnome together can i still do that in gnome 3?
[06:05] <glioros> how can i restart courier-imap ?
[06:05] <urlin2u> ezrafree, what is the release your using gnome 3 is for onerirc really.
[06:06] <urlin2u> oneiric*
[06:06] <ezrafree> urlin2u: i run ubuntu 10.10 and gnome 2.32.0 and compiz 0.8.6
[06:06] <urlin2u> ezrafree, compiz and gnome 3 in ubuntu I think is not really setup I think you can in fedora, and a few others.
[06:06] <r0gue> dont think its there in ubuntu 11.10 live cd
[06:07] <urlin2u> ezrafree, maverick has some web stuff on gnome3 for maverick but I wouldn't try it is a hack and may break it altogether do it at your own risk, gnome 3 run fine in oneriric thouggh.
[06:08] <urlin2u> r0gue, gpartedis on every ubuntu live cd it is staock.
[06:08] <glioros> how can i restart courier-imap ?
[06:10] <urlin2u> glioros, it involves restarting a daemon from looking at the web, pretty slow here can you just reboot or is it a server.
[06:10] <bhavesh> Even after I plug my earphones in, I still get sound from my monitor speakers
[06:10] <glioros> it is an ubuntu server.. i restart the whole server it the emails still not working
[06:11] <glioros> i am losing money now... ;p
[06:11] <glioros> i changed the settings
[06:11] <glioros> so thats why i think it need to be restarted
[06:11] <chaospsychex> does anyone in here use conky ?
[06:11] <urlin2u> glioros, try #ubuntu-server
[06:12] <urlin2u> chaospsychex, yes
[06:12] <chaospsychex> urlin2u: can you paste your 'conky.conf' file ?
[06:12] <urlin2u> chaospsychex, sure hold on
[06:13] <chaospsychex> urlin2u: k
[06:14] <urlin2u> chaospsychex, this is the conkyrc I assume that is what you want http://paste.ubuntu.com/734949/
[06:15] <chaospsychex> k
[06:18] <Juggernaut> So if I understand correctly, its NOT possible to move the Unity sidebar thats on the left? It keeps opening up every time I move my mouse to my browser's back button.
[06:19] <somsip> Juggernaut: you understand correctly. It's n the left and there it will stay
[06:19] <Juggernaut> somsip: Do you know why?
[06:20] <somsip> Juggernaut: there was a recent discussion about this somewhere. end of story - because Mark S stays so
[06:20] <Juggernaut> "somewhere" = on the ubuntu forums?
[06:21] <somsip> Juggernaut: Some posted a link here a couple of days ago. Big thread on a bug tracker about 'Ubuntu isn't involving the community' and it was alink on there. someone raiosed the same point. It got discussed. Last comment was, basically, it stays where it is
[06:22] <Juggernaut> I'll search for it, thanks.
[06:23] <krux> i found a link that shows you can move it ?.. hold up see if this works or not
[06:24] <krux> http://askubuntu.com/questions/29553/how-can-i-configure-unity
[06:24] <eHAPPY> When I do showmount -a does that show a current list? because one of the mounts isnt even avaliable anymore
[06:24] <Juggernaut> krux: I'll take a loot
[06:25] <Juggernaut> Uhh
[06:25] <Juggernaut> look.
[06:25] <Juggernaut> Oh. Thats a third party download I think
[06:25] <Juggernaut> But its 32 bit only.
[06:25] <ridinvintage> Can anyone help me get my xbox to have an open Nat?
[06:26] <ridinvintage> Anyone?
[06:27] <urlin2u> ridinvintage, if it isn't ubuntu it's not supported.
[06:28] <ridinvintage> no i'm using my laptop for ics and i need to port forward to allow connection to be open
[06:28] <somsip> Juggernaut: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/668415
[06:29] <Juggernaut> Awesome, thank you
[06:29] <ridinvintage> i have tried using iptables but it doesn't seem to work.
[06:30] <urlin2u> ridinvintage, out of my knowledge area, just be real specific, it is really slow here right now as well.
[06:31] <hangingclowns> upgraded ubuntu to 11.04 with vmware fusion 4.0.2
[06:31] <wildc4rd> is there any reason why I am having trouble playing streamed flash style video (jumpy/low frame rate) since changing to 11.10?
[06:31] <Juggernaut> Damn that just sucks. Now I have to download gnome or something.
[06:31] <hangingclowns> getting the grub command line prompt saying that it has an unknown command named humatch when it point it to grub config
[06:31] <hangingclowns> any solutions?
[06:32] <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] <The_Misfit> im trying to upgrade to Firefox 8 but it wont because of broken packages
[06:33] <vivekg> how to get audio exported to remote computer using XDMCP ?
[06:35] <urlin2u> The_Misfit, what distro are you running
[06:36] <urlin2u> what release actually The_Misfit
[06:38] <urlin2u> bjrohan, I inadvertantly copied my Linux partition to the unallocated space.  Can you explain what this means; cloned, made another partion...etc
[06:39] <Tomasso> is tehre some way to block porn from myself ?
[06:40] <urlin2u> Tomasso, lol seek professional help.
[06:41] <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
[06:42] <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
[06:44] <urlin2u> bjrohan, take a screen shot of gparted and imagebin it.
[06:44] <urlin2u> bjrohan, gparted gives the amount if data in partitions as well.
[06:44] <urlin2u> !imagebin
[06:45] <The_Misfit> oneric
[06:45] <bjrohan> how do I imagebin it? I have the pic already
[06:45] <The_Misfit> The_Misfit: Oneric
[06:45] <The_Misfit> err
[06:45] <The_Misfit> urlin2u: Oneric
[06:46] <bjrohan> here is the image urlin2u http://imagebin.org/index.php?mode=image&id=183590

[06:46] <urlin2u> The_Misfit, I believe FF 8 was just released I upgraded my oneiric to precise but if it is not there it should be soon without any special installation, I would think.
[06:46] <Juggernaut> This is such baloney
[06:46] <Juggernaut> Mine jumps out every time I approach anywhere near the left edge
[06:46] <The_Misfit> urlin2u: i misspoke, natty
[06:47] <The_BROS> How to update Firefox to 8th?
[06:47] <somsip> The_BROS: it seems to be taken 'a few days' to propogate into the repos

[06:51] <malina> no shit
[06:51] <malina> let me ask again: *where* can I locate the *source* files of the ubuntu installer ui?
[06:51] <Guest81421> are all these chat clients the same server
[06:52] <malina> god, urlin2u : "src is source" as an answer can only be found in places like these I guess :/
[06:52] <urlin2u> bjrohan, in the left panel should be all of your partions.

[06:53] <Guest81421> thanks
[06:53] <The_Misfit> http://paste.ubuntu.com/734964/
[06:53] <malina> well sinc eyou obviously are not capable of answering somethign simple as wher eis the src, then don't attempt ot answer me
[06:53] <urlin2u> malina, if your so smart why are you here.
[06:53] <Guest81421> : /nick IMTHECOOLEST
[06:53] <malina> and I am perfectly aware of th level here: "how do I make a name", "src is source" in 20 secs
[06:53] <urlin2u> malina, lol take your meds .

[06:54] <IMTHECOOLESTAGAI> haha
[06:54] <malina> nubuntu .. christ, I thought one could get at least somethign resembling a 'linux' question in here but obviously not
[06:55] <urlin2u> bjrohan, It looks kinda n=messed up and to be honest I don't want to ask tons of questions to figure out what you have done, since you are not sure, sorry.
[06:55] <cinnabar12> have done a wubi install from an oneiric beta 2 dvd, sys info says ubuntu v11.10 but the update channels are precise-updates?
[06:55] <malina> do you have an ubuntu-dev channel or something? where one can avoid this kind of tardedness?
[06:55] <bjrohan> urlin2u I know the steps I took, just not sure what I ended up with.
[06:56] <OliveGreen> I just added a repository to my sources.list, and I started receiving a "hash sum mismatch" error. How do I fix it?
[06:56] <Juggernaut> malina: #ubuntu-devel
[06:56] <Newguy> yay
[06:57] <Newguy> thanks malina
[06:57] <urlin2u> bjrohan, gparted is not showing the data amount to sda5 just sda3 so I can't tell if you just cloned it or dd it you don't know.
[06:58] <Juggernaut> malina: You know the location of your castle, you can go away now.
[06:58] <Juggernaut> No one likes you. You were adopted.
[06:58] <cinnabar12> ^+1
[06:58] <bjrohan> urlin2u how can I tell which partition I am currently booted on?
[06:59] <abem> I now have a sh :grub>  error on rebooting how do i sort this one out
[06:59] <FacultiesOfMind> hello
[06:59] <FacultiesOfMind> anybody here?
[06:59] <cinnabar12> oohhhhh my, there's a whole load of packages being updated in my terminal...
[07:00] <mcc> bjrohan: hm. would "df" help you because it at least says what's mounted where?
[07:00] <FacultiesOfMind> anybody here knows how to change bantypes?
[07:00] <FacultiesOfMind> in x-chat
[07:00] <surial> I'm a bit confused; when I apt-get install znc and znc-extra, I run into a known ubuntu bug where znc's current version is 0.074-1 but extras is 0.070-1 and these are mostly not compatible. 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?
[07:01] <bjrohan> mcc what is "df"
[07:01] <surial> ... and separate from that, how do I fix the ZNC issue? I'm guessing adding unstable would be a start; 0.074-1 for znc-extra is out there.
[07:03] <bjrohan> urlin2u, in Nautlius if I go to filesystem on the left, and in a blank area hit properties, it says I have 51GB of free space, letting me know that I boot into /dev/SDA3
[07:04] <bjrohan> which was the target of my Move To operation earlier today, leading me to believe that /DEV/SDA5 can have done to it whatever is necessary urlin2u
[07:04] <OliveGreen> Can someone please help solve a hash sum mismatch error?
[07:04] <OliveGreen> help *me*
[07:05] <glioros> i change the imapd settings in particular the MAXDAEMONS and MAXPERIP. and as a result the email are not working. any ideas?
[07:05] <OliveGreen> Younder, Hi.
[07:05] <bjrohan> urlin2u, with storage device manager I can see that /dev/sda5 has errors. Can I have Ubuntu fix the errors, or should I try reformatting?
[07:06] <prophet> is it possible to put the swap on a logicAL PARTITION?
[07:07] <Squeeze> Hi all.
[07:08] <chaospsychex> is it possible to create a 'symlink' to a folder on a ntfs partition ?
[07:09] <OliveGreen> Hi all.
[07:09] <Metal_Raptor> hi all
[07:10] <mmax8e> I'm trying to install ubuntu server 11.10 64 bit using the CD, but my installation hangs right after choosing "Install Ubuntu Server" option from the installation menu. Can anybody help me?
[07:10] <gluesniffmonkey> When I right click on 'Edit Menu's nothing happens Ubuntu 10.04. What to do?
[07:12] <captaincalamity> Hiya all, sorry to be a pain, if anyone can see this, please let me know.

[07:12] <OliveGreen> somsip, Hi.
[07:13] <Besogon> Hey!! Guys, My ATI X1200 works very very freezing with Gallium default driver! Any idea how to fix 3D problem?
[07:13]  * phlak_user is wondering whether Oneiric latest update should be numbered 11.11 :)
[07:14] <Besogon> And another problem! Google Chrome don't use system proxy settings
[07:14] <Besogon> At all
[07:15] <gluesniffmonkey> okay. figured it out. alacarte
[07:15] <phlak_user> Besogon: chrome or chromium?
[07:15] <Besogon> Chrome
[07:15] <OliveGreen> Hi all.
[07:16] <Besogon> phlak_user: I think I should have Chrome as it is used by many.
[07:16] <Besogon> phlak_user: Does Chromium work well with proxy???
[07:17] <phlak_user> Besogon: yes
[07:18] <calamity> are they not effectively identical?
[07:18] <phlak_user> Besogon: but chrome should also work well
[07:18] <Besogon> I thought about iptables and it's ability to implement system proxy settings. And someone have told me it is not possible
[07:19] <phlak_user> Besogon: do you have the proxy server also on the same machine?
[07:19] <abem> Yesterday I upgraded and I got a grub rescue> error and then I was told to follow the instruction hear http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1580752. But now on reboot I am getting the sh :grub> how do I continue?
[07:19] <Newguy> hello
[07:19] <Besogon> phlak_user: It works in strange way...only automatically without specify the PROXY server. NO. I'm a client
[07:20] <phlak_user> abem: did you type exactly this command -> sudo mount /dev/sdXY /mnt
[07:21] <Newguy> i have a question how do i use my dvd drive in ubuntu in a vbox?

[07:21] <The_Misfit> So this is the unmet dependencies error in synaptic firefox 8 -> properties: http://ubuntuone.com/05tEY7umotP9QCdA4J39Kv
[07:21] <Newguy> how do i mount the drive
[07:21] <phlak_user> Besogon: that could be because your proxy is not configured as a "transparent proxy"
[07:21] <Besogon> phlak_user Nonetheless I bother more about slow 3D graphic with  my ATI x1200 :)
[07:22] <phlak_user> abem: that wont work; you need to substitute XY for your hard disk number (eg it could be /dev/sda1
[07:22] <Besogon> may be
[07:22] <abem> phlak yes I did
[07:22] <phlak_user> Newguy: mount it via the menu option on vboc
[07:22] <phlak_user> Newguy: vbox
[07:23] <Newguy> do i mount a dvd drive in a vertual box?
[07:23] <phlak_user> Newguy: yes

[07:48] <TheElusiveTool> hi

[07:57] <Milos|Netbook> How can I just disable ufw.
[07:57] <Milos|Netbook> I don't want it.
[07:57] <Milos|Netbook> It won't let me disable it.
[07:57] <Milos|Netbook> ._.
[07:57] <FloodBot1> Milos|Netbook: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:57] <Milos|Netbook> Those were three sentences.
[07:57] <abem> I have a problem, can you assist please: Yesterday I upgraded and I got a grub rescue> error and then I was told to follow the instruction hear http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1580752. But now on reboot I am getting the sh :grub> how do I continue?
[07:58] <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?
[07:59] <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?
[08:00] <shashi-kant> this is better
[08:00] <Lasers> Milos|Netbook: Try "sudo ufw disable" ?
[08:00] <TheElusiveTool> ???
[08:01] <Lasers> TheElusiveTool: Upgrading always blows for some reason. Something always go wrong. :(
[08:01] <TheElusiveTool> tell me about it
[08:02] <TheElusiveTool> was just curious about kubuntu
[08:02] <TheElusiveTool> now i'm stuck with the kdm login
[08:02] <Lasers> TheElusiveTool: Try this. It may be slightly outdated. http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome
[08:03] <shashi-kant> hi
[08:03] <TheElusiveTool> okay lasers it's removing
[08:03] <TheElusiveTool> that's alot of packages
[08:04] <Lasers> TheElusiveTool: What packages? o.O
[08:04] <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).
[08:05] <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
[08:06] <Lasers> Milos|Netbook: I don't use ufw much. I'm already behind the router.
[08:06] <Lasers> Milos|Netbook: We should wait and see what your friend have to say.
[08:06] <Milos|Netbook> Lasers, likewise with hem...
[08:06] <Milos|Netbook> s/hem/them/
[08:06] <Milos|Netbook> Lasers, cool thanks.
[08:06] <barecracker> hi i am using webchat.freenode.net, how do i set all the in and out messages to ignore? thx
[08:07] <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] <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!
[08:08] <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.
[08:09] <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
[08:11] <antonio_> just a question: i have tried to run an application from the dash of my oneiric, and i've realized that most frequently used applications have disappeared. Is it right, or is it a bug in my ubuntu? Thank you from Spain!
[08:11] <Guest8314> testing
[08:11] <Guest8314> hello everyone
[08:12] <TheElusiveTool> okay it's done
[08:12] <TheElusiveTool> all kubuntu packages removed
[08:13] <Lasers> TheElusiveTool: Cool. Gdm then? :)
[08:13] <TheElusiveTool> should i restart, or just logoff?
[08:13] <Lasers> TheElusiveTool: It's your call.
[08:13] <TheElusiveTool> ok brb
[08:16] <rem> hello)
[08:16] <TheElusiveTool> still kdm login
[08:16] <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)
[08:17] <wink888> hi all i am actually looking at using ubuntu running as a live OS running 3g and recording information back to centeral server
[08:18] <wink888> can anyone give me some initial thoughts to if this will work
[08:18] <TheElusiveTool> no luck lasers
[08:18] <TheElusiveTool> still kdm
[08:19] <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?
[08:20] <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!
[08:21] <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?
[08:22] <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
[08:24] <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/
[08:25] <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?
[08:26] <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
[08:27] <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] <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
[08:28] <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
[08:29] <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] <JapyDooge> gnome3 is worse
[08:29] <JapyDooge> :D
[08:29] <FloodBot1> JapyDooge: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:29] <chaospsychex> bs
[08:29] <TheElusiveTool> Reading state information... Done
[08:29] <TheElusiveTool> lightdm is already the newest version.
[08:29] <chaospsychex> then go to #windows and flatter them about how awesome the win7 gui is
[08:29] <TheElusiveTool> dpkg-maintscript-helper: warning: environment variable DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_NAME missing
[08:29] <TheElusiveTool> dpkg-maintscript-helper: warning: environment variable DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_PACKAGE missing
[08:29] <Lasers> TheElusiveTool: Meh.
[08:29] <szal> !language | chaospsychex
[08:29] <JapyDooge> i find the workflow of Gnome3 nice, but the userinterface is far from being consistent
[08:30] <chaospsychex> !windows
[08:30] <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?
[08:31] <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] <barecracker> but they didn't come up with a better one
[08:31] <TheElusiveTool> no i can select both
[08:31] <Lasers> TheElusiveTool: Select lightdm only.
[08:32] <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
[08:33] <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] <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 :-)
[08:34] <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
[08:35] <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
[08:36] <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 >.<
[08:37] <TheElusiveTool> besides the kdm issue it's running great. even got conky working
[08:38] <szal> what's lightdm got to do w/ kdm now?
[08:39] <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.
[08:40] <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
[08:41] <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'
[08:42] <Lasers> !notunity | JapyDooge
[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
[08:43] <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 =)
[08:46] <qbitza> Hello
[08:46] <qbitza> How do I change my Date display settings in Unity?
[08:46] <TheElusiveTool> Lasers: thanks for taking the time to help
[08:47] <rumpe1> JapyDooge, then install aptitude or use "apt-cache search <term>"
[08:47] <qbitza> Under Language Support, I can only select regions
[08:48] <Lasers> TheElusiveTool: No problem.
[08:48] <JapyDooge> yea rumpe1 was fixed already :) but ty
[08:48] <TheElusiveTool> i'll just put up with it til the next upgrade
[08:50] <chaospsychex> is there a pkg available in the repos that will allow Audacious to play .psf files?
[08:51] <oddy_> CJKay , r u here??
[08:51] <Fever_> Morning
[08:51] <linuxuz3r> hello fever_
[08:52] <linuxuz3r> hi BlauskaerM
[08:52] <BlauskaerM> hehe
[08:52] <BlauskaerM> Need to fix that so that I change Nick everytime I connect to freenode
[08:53] <oddy_> hi everybody, I have a problem with ubuntu 10.04 on my desktop pc, it was working fine for a long time, but recently on openning it stops loading and display this http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/64/p0911111830.jpg/
[08:53] <qbitza> oddy_: nasty
[08:54] <oddy_> qbitza : what?
[08:54] <qbitza> oddy_: Boot with a LiveCD, go into recovery mode and see if you can still mount / fix your disk
[08:55] <oddy_> I tried boot with a liveCD but it doesn't permit me to access /
[08:55] <oddy_> qbitza
[08:56] <qbitza> What message does it give?
[08:57] <oddy_> qbitza : the message in this photo http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/64/p0911111830.jpg/
[08:57] <oddy_> qbitza: you mean the message when mounting / on the liveCD ?
[08:57] <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
[08:58] <Lasers> oddy_: Did you do anything before that happen? o.O
[08:58] <Lasers> oddy_: You need LiveCD. Listen to qbitza. :)
[08:58] <oddy_> qbitza: it alert me "you have no permission to access this"
[08:59] <oddy_> Lasers: the last time I used this computer I unplugged the power cable instead of turning off
[09:00] <BlauskaerM> oddy_: Not really the best way to power donw
[09:00] <qbitza> oddy_: You trashed your drive
[09:00] <qbitza> I haven't seent hat happen in a couple of years now
[09:00] <oddy_> qbitza: so, what to do?
[09:00] <BlauskaerM> Isnt there a disktest on the live CD?
[09:00] <qbitza> Should be
[09:01] <BlauskaerM> oddy_: Try that fist so that you can confirm that the disk is still alive
[09:01] <BlauskaerM> of the test checks out
[09:01] <BlauskaerM> if*
[09:01] <chaospsychex> why isn't the 'audacious-plugins-extra' in the repo?
[09:03] <oddy_> BlauskaerM: try what dude, the liveCD?
[09:03] <Vustom> For some reason Java isn't setting the CWD to the folder that a .jar file is in which is causing an error to occurred when I try and install something, anyone know how to fix this?
[09:03] <BlauskaerM> oddy_: Not to talk down to you but then you tried to mount the disk in the live CD, did you do it as root?
[09:03] <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
[09:05] <oddy_> BlauskaerM: I'm trying the liveCD now, wait a min
[09:06] <szal> BlauskaerM: the live CD doesn't even have smartmontools
[09:06] <oddy_> BlauskaerM:  it is opened, now what to do?
[09:08] <oddy_> Lasers, qbitza, BlauskaerM : the liveCD is running now, what to do next??
[09:09] <BlauskaerM> oddy_: I have never used the HDD test in ubuntu so I dont know
[09:12] <glenn> hi
[09:12] <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
[09:13] <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?
[09:14] <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?
[09:15] <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] <BlauskaerM> It might also mean that you need to get a new disk
[09:16] <abem> Yesterday I upgraded and I got a grub rescue> error and then I was told to follow the instruction hear http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1580752. But now on reboot I am getting the sh :grub> how do I continue?
[09:16] <BlauskaerM> n1mda: Try to remove firefox, then apt-get tries to remove gnome aswell
[09:16] <glda19> when can i upgrade to thunderbird 8
[09:16] <BlauskaerM> n1mda: dont know why
[09:16] <oddy_> BlauskaerM: so, no way I can fix it and reuse the current system ?
[09:16] <n1mda> weird
[09:16] <Lasers> oddy_: You can if you're fully resolved in hanging out in this channel until you fixed it.
[09:17] <BlauskaerM> oddy_: I dont know =/
[09:17] <quiescens> i don't recall any issue with removing firefox causing gnome to be removed
[09:17] <Lasers> oddy_: It's easier to backup everything (/home/ and /etc) and reinstall.
[09:17]  * quiescens shrugs
[09:17] <glda19> when can i upgrade to thunderbird 8
[09:17] <szal> !repeat | glda19
[09:18] <oddy_> Lasers: I don't have no internet connection on this computer, so I'll lose all the Apps
[09:18] <caesar_> svn download got interrupted.. when i go to resume it says "locked" anyone know why this is happening?
[09:18] <oddy_> Lasers: I have no *
[09:19] <Lasers> oddy_: I see.
[09:19] <deej1976> glda19: I would say when the ubuntu Thunderbird maintainers are happy with their packaging
[09:19] <Lasers> oddy_: Why not?
[09:20] <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??
[09:21] <deej1976> glda19: It's out now for linux if you download and install manually
[09:21] <Lasers> !latest | glda19
[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?
[09:22] <glda19> djee1976 but how can i install it on the same place where the ppa does it
[09:23] <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] <glda19> thnx djee1976
[09:24]  * deej1976 checking nick spelling deej1976, hmmm
[09:25] <oddy_> Lasers: no< i mean fix the problem without reinstallation
[09:25] <ksx4system> Unity collapsed just after I installed compizconfig-settings-manager
[09:25] <ksx4system> I logged out and logged back in - problem persists
[09:25] <Dex7> when i connect to mpd server (music player daemon) from another mashine - it dont play anything. how can i solve it?
[09:25] <_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.
[09:26] <oddy_> Lasers: then tell me what to search about, and I'll do it
[09:27] <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?
[09:28] <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.
[09:29] <_Rod2k> Lasers, not the other way.
[09:29] <Lasers> _Rod2k: Ah I see. I have no clue.
[09:31] <_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?
[09:32] <Lasers> _Rod2k: Well. Do you even know if your phone can use Internet through BT (from computer?)
[09:33] <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.
[09:34] <rykka> hi everyone. mupdf ,anyone knows how to make j/k to view next page?
[09:35] <_Rod2k> Lasers the only thing that kinda makes it impossible or hard to set is, when setting up a new Access point, it only supports Data Packet connection type instead of Data Call.
[09:36] <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.
[09:37] <_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)
[09:38] <Lasers> _Rod2k: I have Nokia X2. I'll try it.
[09:38] <deej1976> ironhalik: which feature is missing ?
[09:39] <Lasers> _Rod2k: Gotta find my phone first.
[09:39] <tbf> how can i get back the old alt-tab switcher in unity?
[09:39] <tbf> this application grouping in oneiric drives me nuts
[09:39] <oddy_> Lasers BlauskaerM : I fixed it guys :)
[09:40] <_Rod2k> Lasers: Are you going to try it on Ubuntu or windows?
[09:41] <Vustom> I just installed 7zip from the Ubuntu Software Center but I can't figure out how to extra this .zip file with 7zip, can someone help?
[09:42] <JapyDooge> 7zip != zip
[09:42] <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
[09:43] <JapyDooge> 7zip is for the 7z format
[09:43] <ironhalik> deej1976: also something that would speed up the repo update process, after a while Ive got lots of repos, some of them timing out and it takes a while, not that yum was any faster :P
[09:43] <Vustom> Is there anything else I can use besides the default Zip program? As I keep getting an error when extracting
[09:44] <Vustom> I've redownloaded, same problem, and I'm the only one having it
[09:44] <szal> define 'an error'
[09:44] <JapyDooge> Vustom: what is the error? is the archive damaged? did you clear the browser cache before redownloading?
[09:44] <Vustom> http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/180159-181ac-zelda-adventure-v095-309710-dls/page__view__findpost__p__10118777
[09:44] <Vustom> I posted the error there
[09:45] <_Rod2k> Lasers: Is this for computer sharing internet connection with cellphone or the other way around? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothDialup
[09:45] <deej1976> ironhalik: Have you read through the man page?
[09:46] <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> Vustom: try 'unzip -t \*.zip'
[09:46] <ironhalik> deej1976: im looking through it now
[09:46] <JapyDooge> k
[09:46] <JapyDooge> :)
[09:47] <Lasers> _Rod2k: "Make sure you have appropriate data plan" -- I think it's using the phone to get Internet on PC.
[09:47] <Vustom> JapyDooge: http://i.snag.gy/2AHcS.jpg
[09:48] <Lasers> _Rod2k: http://www.stolk.org/debian/bluetooth.html
[09:48] <Lasers> _Rod2k: Do you really need it?
[09:50] <_Rod2k> Lasers: Unfortunately I REALLY need it. For work and for my sister, She needs it inside her bedroom and doesn't want to try the operator's data plan contract. Catch.
[09:51] <Lasers> _Rod2k: I'll try it now.
[09:51] <Vustom> JapyDooge: Any ideas? :c
[09:52] <_Rod2k> Lasers, Great so we can share the experience (if you want).
[09:55] <chroot> hi, is there anyone who ever installed cloud on ubuntu, give me some advice
[09:55] <KNUBBIG> Hey, I'm having a problem with hosting mercurial with apache on ubuntu, and there's none at #mercurial, so I try my luck here: Hosting itself is fine but when I try nested subrepos, I get a 404 on checkout and the logs say sth about no acceptable variant HTTP_UNAUTHORIZED. Anyone got any idea?
[09:56] <Vustom> JapyDooge: I did a cd to the folder where the .zip is then unzip -t Zelda.zip (renamed it to Zelda.zip so it's easier) and now I can't find where it extracted it too.. but here's the log http://paste.ubuntu.com/735058/
[09:56] <JapyDooge> Vustom: sorry was afk for a sec :) cehcking screenshot now
[09:57] <JapyDooge> hmm it looks like the one who packaged it uses some creative codepage
[09:58] <Vustom> Should I just go on Windows to extract it?
[09:58] <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] <Vustom> I dunno where it unzipped it too though :/
[09:59] <quiescens> -t is test
[09:59] <JapyDooge> testing: Zelda Adventure V0.9.5/music/Fontaine F??es.ogg   OK
[09:59] <JapyDooge> i see it there also
[09:59] <quiescens> it only extracts to memory
[09:59] <JapyDooge> the file itself is okay, but it has unknown characters in it
[09:59] <JapyDooge> quiescens: i asked him to do that :) he tried it normally before
[10:00] <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] <JapyDooge> so you dont have to reboot
[10:00] <JapyDooge> =)
[10:00] <Vustom> It's 80 MB's :p
[10:01] <JapyDooge> ahh
[10:01] <JapyDooge> nvm then :+ wont be a quick fix
[10:01] <JapyDooge> hehe
[10:01] <Vustom> Thanks for the help though :D
[10:01] <JapyDooge> im at 2/2MB sdsl lol
[10:01] <JapyDooge> np and good luck :)
[10:02] <Vustom> What happens if I were to extract it on Windows, then view the files in Ubuntu. o.O
[10:02] <Vustom> Will it just come up with ?? again
[10:02] <JapyDooge> don't think so Vustom
[10:02] <Vustom> k, brb :D
[10:03] <JapyDooge> you will either have the same problem on Windows, or windows will 'translate' it
[10:03] <glioros> in shh i change this file using vi /etc/courier-imap/imapd
[10:03] <glioros> how can i safe it now ?
[10:03] <schnuffle> glioros: :w
[10:03] <JapyDooge> glioros: press 'esc' then type :wq!
[10:04] <JapyDooge> w = write
[10:04] <JapyDooge> q = quit
[10:04] <JapyDooge> ! = force
[10:04] <glennd> where can i set the workgroup
[10:04] <vinnie48> if you want to donate money to the ubuntu developers, how goes?
[10:04] <JapyDooge> glioros: or install 'nano' as an userfriendly alternative to vi :) but thats personal choice, some will scream 'blasphemy!' now after me suggesting this
[10:04] <Guest42555> are you working with backtrack
[10:05] <Lasers> _Rod2k: Try blueman. It have more options, but yeah, I'm not getting it yet.
[10:05] <KNUBBIG> JapyDooge: <3 ;D
[10:05] <JapyDooge> vinnie48: http://www.ubuntu.com/community/get-involved
[10:06] <szal> Guest42555: (1) don't IRC as root (unless there's no other way); (2) we don't support BackTrack here
[10:06] <_Rod2k> Lasers Interesting, that was what I was thinking just now o_O
[10:06] <Guest42555> thank you szal
[10:08] <_Rod2k> Lasers Do you think this might work http://fedoranews.org/contributors/muhammad_al_ismail/bluetooth/ ?
[10:08] <VincentB> Installing ubuntu now, hope I get it to work
[10:08] <Lasers> _Rod2k: Dunno. Not likely. 2004.
[10:09] <Lasers> _Rod2k: But that looks similar to the link I sent you earlier.
[10:10] <JapyDooge> 1:05 <KNUBBIG> JapyDooge: <3 ;D << sup? :P was afk for a sec
[10:10] <glennd> where can i set the domain name
[10:11] <_Rod2k> Lasers: thanks for the tip. At least I now have a new direction to go. Can't give up on this.
[10:13] <_Rod2k> Lasers, about the link you sent, it's not really necessary to download and install a new copy of Debian, since Ubuntu is Debian-based so assuming that all described there will work out is OK right?
[10:14] <Lasers> _Rod2k: Correct.
[10:14] <Lasers> _Rod2k: Good luck! BTW!
[10:15] <_Rod2k> Lasers, Okay I'm gonna face the pain :-P
[10:15] <_Rod2k> Lasers, Yeah I will need it.
[10:15] <Lasers> _Rod2k: It is much easier to wait until you get on the computer to check stuffs instead of phones. :)
[10:15] <charged> anyone to help me adding the right privilege to smmsp user?
[10:15] <glennd> where can i set my domainname
[10:15] <Lasers> _Rod2k: And Twitter/FB have text-only messages. Not sure what you need Internet for. :)
[10:16] <deej1976> !repeat | glennd
[10:17] <_Rod2k> Hmm, Lasers, if you got anything lighter and preferably for the Ubuntu-side (or even windows-side) just let me know - rodolfo.inec@gmail.com :)
[10:17] <balooo> hi everyone.  Does anyone know how I can reference my ubuntu machine on a windows network by hostname?  For some reason I can only do it by IP.  I don't have access to the DHCP or DNS / WINS server.  My only goal is to be able to reference my machine by hostname from another computer on the same network.
[10:18] <SubNormal> I just replaced my secondary ethernet card, after I did that I have no internet connection, the secondary card was for local connection not internet,  i'm using 10.04 and ebox. any one that could assist me?
[10:18] <Lasers> _Rod2k: I'm not pursing this challenge Sorry. And you really really shouldn't post emails in here.
[10:18] <dr_willis> balooo:  set it to a static ip and edit the hosts file is one way
[10:19] <glioros> guys  Starting imapd/etc/init.d/courier-imap: /usr/lib/courier-imap/imapd.rc: /bin/sh^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
[10:19] <glioros>  failed
[10:19] <glioros> anybody knows why ?
[10:20] <balooo> dr_wills: yeah, but that won't work for me, because my use cases is bring several VMs up/down.   So it won't be practical or to get ~20 people to update their hosts files anytime that happens.  Also they don't have permissions to edit their host files :(
[10:20] <llutz> glioros: dos2unix <yourscript>
[10:20] <dr_willis> glioros:  how did you make that imapd.rc file
[10:20] <gianluca_> is there any way to remove unity
[10:20] <gianluca_> and use gnome?
[10:20] <deej1976> !notunity | gianluca_
[10:21] <dr_willis> unity uses gnome 3
[10:21] <llutz> glioros: or: recode ibmpc..lat1  <yourfile>             reason for that error are bad lineendings in a file imapd.rc calls
[10:21] <gianluca_> investigate..?
[10:21] <glioros> llutz so vi /etc/courier-imap/imapd.rc
[10:21] <glioros> to amend it ?
[10:22] <phlak_user> balooo, you could always set up a small and fast dns server/forwarder like dnsmasq that would serve the needs of your internal LAN as well as forward external requests
[10:22] <llutz> glioros: however, you have to recode the linebreaks
[10:23] <phlak_user> balooo, http://thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/doc.html
[10:23] <dr3mro> can any one help me what is the problem here ?http://pastebin.com/Xh272MSD
[10:23] <schreber> Is there a way to force/double-check why nautilus is not displaying a mounted drive?
[10:23] <ljl_> h8ya9
[10:23] <llutz> !pm | glioros
[10:24] <glioros> what do you mean by recode the linebreaks ?
[10:24] <balooo> phlak_user: the problem is that I'm ona managed network and the pc's that will need access are also managed.  I can't point them at any other dns server.  I thought their would be a way to make ubuntu work within a windows network enviorment?  Can't the vms just register with the dns somehow?
[10:24] <llutz> glioros: or: recode ibmpc..lat1  <yourfile>             reason for that error are bad lineendings in a file imapd.rc calls
[10:24] <phlak_user> balooo, which dns?
[10:24] <balooo> the WINS server? (I'm assuming their is a wins server)
[10:24] <llutz> glioros: you file has CR/LF  but is has to be just LF   as lineending. change that, pick the tool you want
[10:25] <deej1976> !dos2unix
[10:25] <llutz> !info dos2unix
[10:25] <szal> every better text editor should be able to convert between Unix, DOS and IBM standard
[10:26] <glioros> dos2unix='recode ibmpc:lat1' ?
[10:26] <llutz> glioros: its the  same, yes
[10:26] <llutz> or "tr -d '\r' ..."  or or or
[10:27] <phlak_user> balooo, maybe winbind would help you -> http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-88206.html
[10:27] <glioros> ok did that and still    Stopping imap-ssl/etc/init.d/courier-imap: /usr/lib/courier-imap/imapd-ssl.rc: /bin/sh^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
[10:28] <llutz> glioros: more than one file corrupted
[10:28] <phlak_user> !info winbindd
[10:28] <deej1976> glioros: This is the hint "/bin/sh^M"
[10:28] <Dex7> hello please help. how can i install driver (00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio (rev 06)) on ubuntu server?
[10:28] <phlak_user> !info winbind | baloo
[10:28] <glioros> deej1976 you mean that the corrupted files are in bin folders ?
[10:29] <deej1976> No the ^M at the end of the line
[10:29] <glioros> so what i do know ?
[10:29] <llutz> glioros: recode all broken files
[10:29] <phlak_user> glioros, its a dos end-of-line format which is different from unix eol
[10:29] <deej1976> glioros: As llutz said dos2unix all the broken files
[10:29] <SubNormal> I just replaced my secondary ethernet card, after I did that I have no internet connection, the secondary card was for local connection not internet,  i'm using 10.04 and ebox. any one that could assist me?
[10:30] <llutz> glioros: apearantly  /usr/lib/courier-imap/*
[10:30] <phlak_user> SubNormal, can you paste the output of sudo lshw -C network
[10:30] <glioros> is there a command to dos2unix all the files together?
[10:30] <phlak_user> !pastebinit | SubNormal
[10:30] <phlak_user> glioros, use a wildcard * maybe
[10:30] <styluss> Hi, I installed xmonad on ubuntu 11.10, created xmonad.hs file but when I use it, it hangs :S how do I debug it?
[10:31] <glioros> llutz?
 glioros, use a wildcard * maybe
[10:32] <SubNormal> phlak_user i'm sorry but I have no internet connection on it and I tried to setup samba but I cant get it to work, so I have no idea on how to make a paste :-/ any idea?
[10:32] <cablop> hello
[10:32] <phlak_user> SubNormal, is it a server or a desktop installation?
[10:32] <cablop> how good is ubuntu for real servers?
[10:32]  * phlak_user shouldnt have said "maybe"
[10:33] <llutz> cablop: as good as any other distro, depends on the admin
[10:33] <phlak_user> cablop, its good also for "unreal" read "virtual" servers
[10:33] <SubNormal> phlak_user it's server
[10:33] <ActionParsnip> cablop: its fine
[10:33] <JapyDooge> cablop: i have used Ubuntu Server a lot for my webservers and mailservers, it's okay i guess :)
[10:33] <cablop> some people decided to run a server to dedicate it to MySQL only
[10:33] <JapyDooge> but you have to keep it up to date
 <phlak_user> glioros, use a wildcard * maybe
[10:33] <ActionParsnip> cablop: thats fine too
[10:33] <glioros> i cant understand guys....
[10:33] <SubNormal> phlak_user I can access it's ebox from this computer though
[10:33] <glioros> can you explain it more ?
[10:34] <glioros> i am gonna appreciate it
[10:34] <llutz> glioros: try: dos2unix  /usr/lib/courier-imap/*
[10:34] <phlak_user> SubNormal, ok, can you tell me how many interfaces show up in sudo ifconfig
[10:34] <ActionParsnip> SubNormal: can you ping the IP?
[10:34] <cablop> they have two issues, one is they believe Ubuntu is not a good distro for production servers, and the other is they tried a debian with no luck in that server, the debian was unable to detect the hardware, as ubuntu was based on debian, they believe ubuntu is going to fail too
[10:34] <daurnimator> how can I "Browse Network" (samba) as a certain user?
[10:34] <JapyDooge> cablop: nowadays my servers run FreeBSD, but Ubuntu Server is nice :)
[10:34] <glioros> -bash: dos2unix: command not found
[10:34] <ActionParsnip> glioros: install it then ;)
[10:35] <ActionParsnip> !info dos2unix
[10:35] <llutz> glioros: why are you administrating a mail-server when you don't even know some bash-basics?
[10:35] <cablop> any hardware isues, not recognized drivers, hard to install drivers or so with ubuntu server?
[10:35] <JapyDooge> cablop: Ubuntu supports more hardware than Debian, as it's more up to date - but it's tested very well and there is a huge community supporting/testing/using it.
[10:35] <ActionParsnip> cablop: depends on the hardware
[10:35] <glioros> i tried to install it but E: Couldn't find package dos2unix
[10:35] <deej1976> glioros: sudo apt-get install dos2unix
[10:35] <SubNormal> phlak_user I get eth1 eth2 and loopback
[10:35] <glioros> i did that guys and i am getting E: Couldn't find package dos2unix
[10:35] <ActionParsnip> glioros: do you have universe repo enabled?
[10:35] <llutz> glioros: try: recode ibmpc:lat1  /usr/lib/courier-imap/*
[10:36] <SubNormal> ActionParsnip from what machine and what IP?
[10:36] <phlak_user> SubNormal, ok great so you have both interfaces recognized; now you need to edit /etc/network/interfaces and add the second card details
[10:36] <ActionParsnip> SubNormal: I thought you were trying to hit an ebox page...?
[10:36] <glioros> recode: Syntax is deprecated, please prefer `ibmpc..lat1'
[10:36] <glioros> recode: fopen (/usr/lib/courier-imap/authlib): Is a directory
[10:36] <phlak_user> SubNormal, before that, what are the IPs of the two interfaces?
[10:37] <cablop> thanks for your opinions :)
[10:37] <SubNormal> ActionParsnip ah, I can access the servers ebox from this machine allready, I just told that I could access the server's ebox
[10:37] <JapyDooge> good luck cablop
[10:37] <daurnimator> re: unity; how can I move the application menu thing? (where you pick programs to launch)
[10:37]  * phlak_user there is a command called recode?
[10:37] <ActionParsnip> daurnimator: ahh I found this today
[10:37] <llutz> phlak_user: sure
[10:37] <daurnimator> I have a tri screen stup; and going all the way to the left (small+shit) screen to open a program/switch programs is annoying as hell
[10:37] <deej1976> !info recode
[10:38] <phlak_user> llutz, thanks, didnt know that :)
[10:38] <ActionParsnip> daurnimator: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/10/how-to-move-unity-launcher-to-bottom-of.html    It may break things
[10:38] <glioros> llutz what i do now my friend?
[10:38] <SubNormal> phlak_user "eth1 192.168.111.199" and "eth2 should be 192.168.1.1 but shows no ip address"
[10:39] <daurnimator> so how about browsing network shares as a different user?
[10:39] <daurnimator> ActionParsnip: thx
[10:39] <phlak_user> SubNormal, ok which is the iface connected to the Internet?
[10:39] <llutz> glioros: find  /usr/lib/courier-imap/ -type f -exex recode ibmpc..lat1 {} \;
[10:39] <phlak_user> glioros: -exec
[10:39] <SubNormal> phlak_user eth1 should connect to the internet
[10:39] <llutz> !commands
[10:39] <glioros>  recode ibmpc..lat1 {} \;
[10:39] <glioros> find: unknown predicate `-exex'
[10:39] <llutz> -exec, sry
[10:40] <llutz> phlak_user: thx
[10:40] <phlak_user> SubNormal, was it eth0 and eth1 before you replaced the card?
[10:40] <phlak_user> llutz, yw
[10:40] <wanghelong> what
[10:41] <glioros>    Starting imapd done
[10:41] <glioros>    Starting imap-ssl done
[10:41] <glioros>    Starting pop3 done
[10:41] <glioros>    Starting pop3-ssl done
[10:41] <FloodBot1> glioros: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:41] <phlak_user> SubNormal, i think thats why you've lost Internet cos the iface renumbering has broken your firewall rules etc
[10:42] <llutz> glioros: you're done :)
[10:42] <SubNormal> phlak_user eth0 was for the localnet and eth1 was for the internet
[10:42] <glioros> llutz: yes thank you very much my friend ;p but the strange is my company emails asking for password and not synchronise properly
[10:42] <wanghelong> konw
[10:43] <llutz> glioros: if the same guy copying those files set up your mailserver, i'd suggest to fire him and reinstall all from scratch :)
[10:43] <llutz> glioros: check logs for more info
[10:44] <phlak_user> SubNormal, you need to edit this file to get the interface numbering proper again -> /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
[10:44] <llutz> just rm /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules   and restart udev or reboot
[10:45] <ActionParsnip> /quit
[10:46] <glioros> llutz a last question and sorry about all this... now the courier imap working email why the emails are still now working ?
[10:46] <llutz> glioros: check logs for more info
[10:46] <llutz> glioros: "not working" is no error somebody can help you

[10:48] <phlak_user> glioros, the logs are your friends
[10:48] <SubNormal> phlak_user should I delete the file?
[10:48] <phlak_user> SubNormal, that would be the simplest thing to do :)

[11:03] <simion314> hi, i  have a strange problem, i got a new wireless router i installed it(i am using it on LAN), it worked fine with the default settings, now the problem is that sometimes my mail application will not work, KMail or Thunderbird ,also a plasmoid that connects to gmail , restarting my kubuntu 11.10 has no effect restarting the router no effect, the only thing that works is to reboot in an other partition where i have a previos version of kubuntu 11.04 ,
[11:03] <simion314> this is realy strange , i had no update that coincided with the new router
[11:03] <harsh343> ActionParsnip, how can i find what file system does the device's partition use? can You give me the command after i wil tell you
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> harsh343: sudo fdisk -l   will say
[11:05] <SubNormal> phlak_user I just wrote this up, http://pastebin.com/At0vL2EY this is the current interfaces I have
[11:05] <phlak_user> simion314, did the new router come with any default firewall /content filter settings
[11:06] <phlak_user> SubNormal, ok; are you able to ping 192.168.111.1
[11:06] <SubNormal> phlak_user gate way is 192.168.111.1 but by doing route -n I get 0.0.0.0 as gateway
[11:06] <Myth17> can anyone helpe me out with wifi issues in ubuntu forums--> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1879175
[11:06] <SubNormal> phlak_user yes
[11:07] <phlak_user> SubNormal, whats the IP of the WAN interface of the gateway?
[11:08] <soreau> Myth17: Have you tried rfkill unblock all?
[11:08] <bonhoffer> how do i set default browser to chromium?
[11:09] <SubNormal> phlak_user I belive 10.168.103.188
[11:09] <Myth17> soreau, yes dosent seem  to work :|
[11:09] <Alives> how can i tell which configure options a binary in a .deb was compiled with?
[11:09] <soreau> ! work | Myth17
[11:09] <harsh343>    ActionParsnip this is the output http://pastebin.com/474vBjxp
[11:10] <soreau> Alives: You'd have to review the log for the package using packages.ubuntu.com
[11:10] <Alives> ok thanks
[11:10] <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?
[11:11] <Alives> irssi, lucid, amd64
[11:11] <Alives> soreau: ^
[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?
[11:12] <daurnimator> ActionParsnip: eventually got it working with file->connect to server
[11:12] <bonhoffer> hmm . . . 11.10 -- is different mosdef100200
[11:12] <mosdef100200> sorry preferences > preferred applications
[11:12] <natrixnatrix89> !sshd
[11:12] <Alives> soreau: so, http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/irssi , but where do i find the log?
[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
[11:13] <phlak_user> SubNormal, does the route command show default route 0.0.0.0 as 192.168.111.1 ?
[11:14] <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
[11:15] <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
[11:16] <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?
[11:17] <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?
[11:18] <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?
[11:19] <[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)
[11:20] <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
[11:21] <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
[11:22] <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] <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
[11:23] <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
[11:24] <ActionParsnip> simion314: that isn't a full question
[11:25] <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
[11:26] <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
[11:27] <soreau> Myth17: I'm not really sure then
[11:28] <dyd> someone can tell me a good mail client for ubuntu?
[11:29] <soreau> dyd: evolution or thunderbird to name a couple
[11:29] <ActionParsnip> !email
[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
[11:30] <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> $sudo make install [11:30] <Nertskull> Does anyone know if VNC clients can connect to the freenx protocol? Just like they would w/ VNC?
[11:31] <usuario> what?
[11:31] <phlak_user> Nertskull, they dont; but the remote desktop tool does
[11:31] <soreau> daurnimator: You're probably not in the right directory. What are you trying to install?
[11:31] <deej1976> dyd: mutt, used all the time until force to use M$ exchange
[11:31] <usuario> was a hiff+
[11:31] <Nertskull> phlak_user: thanks
[11:31] <soreau> ! freenx | Nertskull
[11:31] <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?
[11:32] <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
[11:33] <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?
[11:34] <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)
[11:35] <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 :)
[11:36] <daurnimator> ActionParsnip: apparently No such file or directory
[11:37] <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
[11:38] <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
[11:39] <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?
[11:40] <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
[11:41] <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
[11:42] <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] <Milos> Can we do screen through two users?

[11:43] <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] <ActionParsnip> Nertskull: use googletalk, or spawn a new chanel here on freenode and both join
[11:43] <deej1976> Milos: need to read up on permissions
[11:44] <ActionParsnip> Nertskull: andchat is awesome :)
[11:44] <Nertskull> ActionParsnip: does andchat support otr? or other?
[11:45] <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
[11:46] <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 !

[11:47] <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 ?

[11:49] <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
[11:50] <ActionParsnip> dr_willis: ps -ef | grep -i naut | grep -v grep
[11:50] <phlak_user> SubNormal, like so , on  a line by itself -> up route add -net 0.0.0.0 gw 192.168.111.1 dev eth1

[11:50] <pr3d4t0r> Greetings.
[11:52] <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
[11:53] <phlak_user> pr3d4t0r, look into /var/log/syslog - looks like a disk error
[11:54] <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
[11:55] <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
[11:56] <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
[11:57] <dr_willis> !info gcc
[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 -
[11:58] <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)
[11:59] <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
[12:00] <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
[12:01] <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.
[12:02] <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
[12:03] <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.
[12:04] <phlak_user> pr3d4t0r, just type sudo -i

[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?
[12:06] <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> '(
[12:07] <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.
[12:08] <KNUBBIG> Any opinions on a good xml editor?
[12:08] <BrixSat> KNUBBIG:  vim :)
[12:09] <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 :)
[12:10] <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
[12:11] <Nertskull> lucian: k, thanks, I'll look into that
[12:11] <Jimmy_Hendrix> KNUBBIG, choose emacs22-gtk, it is better bot than vim-gtk :))

[12:13] <deej1976> !offtopic
[12:13] <KNUBBIG> I'd have asked in #ubuntu-bots but BestBot is missing :(
[12:15] <apwbdjp> Does anyone know why /dev/mem is locked past the first 1.1MB, even to privileged users? (only on ubuntu)
[12:16] <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
[12:17] <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
[12:18] <ironhalik> zagibu: hmm, I need to check it out
[12:18] <pr3d4t0r> Ahg,.

[12:20] <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

[12:21] <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] <ActionParsnip> noWay: ok so when you access a folder, what happens when it goes wrong?

[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?
[12:23] <noWay> apwbdjp: indeed

[12:37] <jtr__> ActionParsnip: but still it'll work , i hve gnome3 also ( crap it is)
[12:37] <ActionParsnip> jtr__: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh; chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh; ./alsa-info.sh
[12:38] <jtr__> ActionParsnip: in a min
[12:38] <deej1976> thrope: Download and compile yourself ?
[12:39] <thrope> deej1976: yep im doing that except it takes many hours
[12:39] <schnuffle> mathi_:  okay checked a bit and the common advice seems to be to keep it under at least 32K files per folder
[12:39] <deej1976> thrope: true
[12:39] <jtr__> ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/735167/
[12:39] <deej1976> thrope: Try disabling the parts you don't need
[12:40] <mathi_> schnuffle, the question was about the number of folders, but in Linux a folder is a file ?
[12:41] <ActionParsnip> jtr__: are you trying to use the HDMI?
[12:41] <ActionParsnip> mathi_: everything is a file in Linux
[12:41] <jam__> yes
[12:41] <jtr__> ActionParsnip: anything that works , sound is a priority here , i have to test my game engine code ( panda3d ) which has sound
[12:42] <jtr__> ActionParsnip: basically i dont know
[12:42] <schnuffle> mathi_:  mathi_:  schnuffle, what would be a reasonable number of files ?
[12:42] <daurnimator> anyone want to help me get my touchpad working?
[12:42] <daurnimator> it doesn't seem to be detected at ALL
[12:42] <ActionParsnip> jtr__: do you want to use the inbuilt speakers or send the audio to a TV?
[12:42] <jtr__> ActionParsnip: no
[12:42] <mathi_> schnuffle, sorry I meant folder:( are you angry?
[12:42] <chicago5> hey guys, have a problem with installing from an USB stick
[12:42] <jam__> Which Version are you using ?
[12:42] <ActionParsnip> daurnimator: what is the make and model of the system?
[12:42] <daurnimator> ActionParsnip: gigabyte t1125n
[12:43] <ActionParsnip> jtr__: thenm where will the sound come from if its not a TV or the laptop speakers?
[12:43] <chicago5> 11.10, my USB stick is mounted at /dev/sda1 and when installing grub, the installer always wants to install grub on /dev/sda1, but my HD is at /dev/sdb1
[12:43] <schnuffle> mathi_:  no
[12:43] <chicago5> any way to tell the installer where to install grub to?
[12:44] <ActionParsnip> daurnimator: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/786830
[12:44] <daurnimator> ActionParsnip: yeah; I filed it :)
[12:44] <luca_bi> dear friends I would like to install on my uubuntu the database MySQL but i'm not able
[12:44] <luca_bi> how can i do?
[12:44] <ActionParsnip> daurnimator: cool
[12:44] <luca_bi> please help me
[12:44] <KNUBBIG> chicago5: skip the installation of grub, boot from a live CD/the USB stick into a live system, mount your HDD and grub-install /dev/sdb1
[12:44] <schnuffle> mathi_:  the number of folders shouldn`t be important to you. It costs time if you have a nested tree with  a lot of dirs and you traverse them.
[12:44] <oldschool> hi anyone here installed ubuntu 11.10 on windows 7 useing wubi that can help me out i keep getting at the end of the installation permission denied
[12:44] <KNUBBIG> !grub > chicago5
[12:44] <mathi_> schnuffle, well anyway everything is a file is Linux. 1000 folders compared to a an adiced limit of 32K seems very little
[12:44] <ActionParsnip> daurnimator: can you give the output of:  lsmod | grep mous
[12:45] <xangua> oldschool: i would suggest you to make a real install better ;)
[12:45] <chicago5> thanks @ KNUBBIG
[12:45] <KNUBBIG> np
[12:45] <jtr__> ActionParsnip: laptop speakers , i want to use the analog stereo
[12:45] <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?
[12:46] <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] <oldschool> xangua on way i need my windows also am not to good with ubuntu just want to try it out and see how it works for me
[12:46] <ActionParsnip> jtr__: not seem one here, in sound prefs, is the right output device selected?
[12:46] <mathi_> schnuffle, ok, thanks for the help!:)
[12:47] <LogicallyDashing> oldschool: lots of tutorials awailable, what use-case do you have?
[12:47] <KNUBBIG> chicago5: if not, try chrooting into your installation and run sudo update-grub
[12:47] <jtr__> ActionParsnip: iwant to use the laptop speakers , not the hdmi - tv
[12:47] <jtr__> ActionParsnip: netsplit just happened i think ?
[12:47] <ActionParsnip> jtr__:  not seem one here, in sound prefs, is the right
[12:47] <ActionParsnip>                        output device selected?
[12:48] <jtr__> ActionParsnip: master channel set to analog stereo , not the other hdmi
[12:48] <daurnimator> ActionParsnip: pastebin.com/hh7jzg7Y
[12:48] <ActionParsnip> jtr__: are there more levels to the right in alsamixer?
[12:48] <jtr__> ActionParsnip: let me see
[12:49] <jtr__> ActionParsnip: 6 levels , master, headph, speaker ,pcm , mick jack in , beep
[12:49] <jtr__> ActionParsnip: none muted
[12:49] <Yagwit> gm all
[12:49] <ActionParsnip> daurnimator: try:  sudo modprobe psmouse     does it start to work?
[12:50] <ActionParsnip> jtr__: all I can recommend then is:  killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse; rm ~/.pulse    wait a little while then try sound apps
[12:50] <daurnimator> ActionParsnip: no
[12:51] <jtr__> ActionParsnip: rm: cannot remove `/home/jtr/.pulse': No such file or directory
[12:52] <ActionParsnip> jtr__: hmm, that is interesting
[12:52] <jtr__> ActionParsnip: i dont feel the same way :P
[12:53] <jtr__> ActionParsnip: i had changed something in the alsa config file wait i'll tell u which file
[12:53] <jtr__> ActionParsnip: i had altered /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
[12:53] <ActionParsnip> jtr__: try: http://www.pastie.org/2847110
[12:53] <ActionParsnip> jtr__: what did you add to the file?
[12:53] <glioros> qmail-queue-handlers[16331]: hook_dir = '/opt/psa/handlers/before-queue'
[12:53] <quiescens> ActionParsnip: technically, that is the expected output of the line you gave jtr
[12:54] <jtr__> ActionParsnip: i commented what i had added - but still i'll pastebin the file
[12:54] <glioros> maybe is that the reason my emails are not working ?
[12:54] <quiescens> ActionParsnip: since you have rm -r ~/.pulse; rm ~/.pulse
[12:54] <quiescens> ActionParsnip: the first one should have no output, and the second would complain about .pulse not existing
[12:54] <ActionParsnip> quiescens: d'oh
[12:54]  * quiescens hides
[12:55] <tjader> How do I allow a default user to configure the network?
[12:55] <jtr__> ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/735185/
[12:56] <jtr__> ActionParsnip: do i need to give it a restart ?
[12:56] <jtr__> ActionParsnip: or should i want for the ppa u told me to get ?
[12:57] <lucian> any idea on why a Ubuntu live usb would drop to busybox after the splash screen, on a Thinkpad E325
[12:57] <daurnimator> ActionParsnip: anything more/
[12:57] <luca_bi> how can I install mySQL on ubuntu??
[12:58] <jtr__> luca_bi: try apt-get mysql
[12:58] <apwbdjp> luca_bi, sudo apt-get install myqsl-server
[12:58] <skiter11> luca_bi: ubuntu software centre
[12:58] <ActionParsnip> jtr__: sure, reboot can't hurt :)
[12:59] <admiralshlorky> hey luca-bi
[12:59] <admiralshlorky> luca_bi that is
[12:59] <ActionParsnip> daurnimator: not sure, doesn't seem to be a module loaded for it
[12:59] <daurnimator> ActionParsnip: :(
[12:59] <admiralshlorky> if you're going to make an ubuntu webserver, it's really easy to do it through the task sel way
[12:59] <admiralshlorky> sudo apt-get install tasksell
[12:59] <daurnimator> well it seems as if linux just hates this laptop
[12:59] <jtr__> ActionParsnip: i started the ppa thing :(
[13:00] <jtr__> ActionParsnip: reboot after that :)
[13:00] <admiralshlorky> then find the packages(in the case of my sql, apache and whatnot, choose lamp), choose them and install
[13:00] <ActionParsnip> jtr__: indeed
[13:00] <luca_bi> http://pastebin.com/ySVEwtym
[13:00] <admiralshlorky> they are chosen by highlighting and subsequently pressing space/tab on the items you want
[13:01] <luca_bi> on software centre there is mySQL administratore is it correct?
[13:02] <KNUBBIG> luca_bi: you'd want mysql server I think
[13:02] <luca_bi> Server MySQL is already installed
[13:03] <luca_bi> can you help me?
[13:03] <KNUBBIG> well then you've already got it
[13:03] <deej1976> luca_bi: mysql -h localhost -p -u root mysql
[13:03] <lucian> luca_bi: if you want a UI for it, look in the software centre
[13:03] <BluesKaj> Howdy all
[13:04] <deej1976> !info mysql-admin
[13:04] <apwbdjp> deej1976, I think the -h localhost isn't needed, is it?
[13:04] <skiter11> luca_bi: in ubuntu software centre install MYSQL CLIENT and MYSQL SERVER
[13:04] <deej1976> apwbdjp: doens't hurt
[13:04] <luca_bi> deej1976: It requires me a password but i don't have any password
[13:04] <deej1976> luca_bi: Hit return
[13:04] <apwbdjp> luca_bi, you have been asked to give one, when you installed mysql-server
[13:05] <luca_bi> skiter11: I have already installed both server and client
[13:06] <ActionParsnip> luca_bi: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MysqlPasswordReset
[13:06] <cablop> i want an ubuntu as server but with gui tools
[13:06] <cablop> i was thiking to install an ubuntu-server ant then on top install the ubuntu-desktop
[13:06] <deej1976> cablop: that works
[13:06] <jrib> cablop: that's fine
[13:06] <cablop> or install the ubuntu-desktop then the server kernel... but i think the second is not going to set up things correctly
[13:07] <jrib> cablop: either method is fine
[13:07] <lucian> cablop: i did it both ways some time ago, and it was fine
[13:07] <cablop> but if i want for things to work by default for server environment maybe the first one is the best, right?
[13:08] <luca_bi> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/ibg2nmsk
[13:08] <deej1976> cablop: What are you trying to archive?
[13:08] <harsh343> how can i install PHP PDO package through ubuntu 11.10
[13:09] <harsh343> deej1976, hello
[13:09] <cablop> setup a server, but to leave gui environment on it to administer it remotelly using nx, vnc or ssh -X
[13:09] <ActionParsnip> luca_bi: that link is all I know. I don't use mysql

[13:10] <ActionParsnip> cablop: most server stuff is administered at cli
[13:11] <deej1976> cablop: I'm with ActionParsnip cli admin is easy
[13:11] <cablop> ActionParsnip: yes i know, but for some tasks we prefer some guis
[13:11] <admiralshlorky> ^
[13:11] <chymist> When I use any apt-based command, I am told that I should use -f to fix unmet dependencies. However, doing so causes a huge number of essential packages to be removed. How can I get around this? http://pastebin.com/AARmaPw9
[13:11] <admiralshlorky> erp
[13:12] <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.
[13:13] <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] <admiralshlorky> specifically scheduling download up/down times
[13:14] <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.
[13:15] <admiralshlorky> specifically for that reason
[13:15] <chymist> When I use any apt-based command, I am told that I should use -f to fix unmet dependencies. However, doing so causes a huge number of essential packages to be removed. How can I get around this? http://pastebin.com/AARmaPw9
[13:15] <admiralshlorky> i add them through the command line
[13:15] <luca_bi> skiter11: If you want to use joomla you need a second class database
[13:15] <admiralshlorky> but i configure it through the gui
[13:15] <ActionParsnip> admiralshlorky: the web UI can set the speeds as you wish too :)
[13:15] <admiralshlorky> oh?
[13:15] <luca_bi> skiter11: second class database is not free you have to pay it
[13:16] <jrib> chymist: do you have any idea why this would be happening?
[13:16] <admiralshlorky> action, gah
[13:16] <admiralshlorky> it's too easy to make things easy these days
[13:16] <chymist> jrib: I attempted to use dpkg -i to install an updated version of libc
[13:16] <admiralshlorky> i turned my old comp into a torrenting box for the house
[13:16] <jrib> chymist: this is not a good idea
[13:16] <chymist> jrib: So I see. How can I resolve my present situation?
[13:16] <tjader> How can I allow non-administrator accounts to manage the network?
[13:16] <admiralshlorky> but i refuse to let people download things with the gui
[13:17] <ActionParsnip> admiralshlorky: same, with samba share, ssh and backup :)
[13:17] <jrib> chymist: use version of libc in the repositories
[13:17] <admiralshlorky> they have to use the cli
[13:17] <admiralshlorky> or it's a bust.
[13:17] <luca_bi> skiter11: when I write localhost I see it works so apache2 is installed I have a problem with mySQL
[13:17] <JapyDooge> lol
[13:17] <skiter11> sorry luca_bi i can't help =/
[13:17] <iExist> chymist : downgrade
[13:17] <admiralshlorky> changed the permissions on vnc lol, so nobody else can use it
[13:17] <admiralshlorky> without root access
[13:17] <apwbdjp> luca_bi, is mysqld up?
[13:17] <chymist> iExist: How?
[13:17] <deej1976> luca_bi: What's problem with mysql
[13:17] <admiralshlorky> just because i'm spiteful
[13:18] <luca_bi> deej1976: I can't connect to it
[13:18] <admiralshlorky> but if i was going to use a web interface, i'd like to write it myself at least.
[13:18] <iExist> chymist : i don't know :(
[13:18] <deej1976> Is is running, did you run sudo service start mysql ?
[13:18] <iExist> chymist : maybe apt-get -?(some flag) libc
[13:19] <iExist> chymist : man apt-get
[13:19] <luca_bi> deej1976: I don't know if it is running which is the command? The first you gave to me required a password
[13:19] <chymist> iExist: Hitting me with a man page isn't helpful at this stage. I've already gone through it and can't find anything relevant.
[13:19] <apwbdjp> chymist, apt-get remove, then apt-get install, maybe?
[13:19] <iExist> chymist : i see
[13:19] <admiralshlorky> speaking of which, how would you go about writing a shell based service that would check a folder every 30s for new files?
[13:20] <ActionParsnip> admiralshlorky: fatrat is great for non torrent downloads too and has a web UI. Lets you pull stuff down and lets you turn off the client PC :)
[13:20] <ActionParsnip> admiralshlorky: could cron a job
[13:20] <chymist> apwbdjp: It won't allow me to do anything without first using -f, which breaks *everything*, including apt.
[13:20] <deej1976> luca_bi: service mysql status
[13:20] <admiralshlorky> cron?
[13:20] <iExist> chymist : aptitude install libc=(version before 11.1 ;)
[13:21] <apwbdjp> admiralshlorky, watch ls? with --interval=30 and --diferences?
[13:21] <luca_bi> deej1976: luca@luca-Satellite-A200:~$ service mysql status
[13:21] <luca_bi> mysql respawn/post-start, (post-start) process 9625
[13:21] <admiralshlorky> apwbdjp something along the lines of that
[13:21] <apwbdjp> admiralshlorky, man watch, you'll find everything you need I believe
[13:22] <apwbdjp> chymist, that'd be weird, you mean apt actually tries to remove itself?
[13:22] <chymist> iExist: It worked! Thank you so much!
[13:22] <deej1976> sudo service mysql start
[13:22] <iExist> chymist : :D
[13:22] <chymist> apwbdjp: Yes, seriously.
[13:22] <chymist> iExist: Thanks a lot. :)
[13:23] <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
[13:24] <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
[13:25] <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
[13:26] <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
[13:27] <admiralshlorky> i feel the watch solution would be more true to the unix spirit
[13:27] <ActionParsnip> admiralshlorky: there is tripwire if memory serves
[13:28] <cablop> i wonder if a live 10.04 CD would run on a server
[13:28] <ActionParsnip> cablop: sure, why wouldnt it
[13:29] <cablop> hardware issues? like not detecting the server hardware?>
[13:29] <admiralshlorky> what kind of server?
[13:29] <admiralshlorky> x86? some cracked out beowulf cluster?
[13:29] <cablop> hp proliant dl360 g6
[13:29] <admiralshlorky> oh yeah
[13:29] <admiralshlorky> i bet it would run on it like a charm
[13:29] <ActionParsnip> cablop: the server is pretty much the same as desktop just without the X server and such, same drivers and all that
[13:30] <cablop> my customer told me the debian installer was unable to even start... so they don't want to test and fail
[13:30] <admiralshlorky> and sometimes they run hpux
[13:30] <cablop> hpux?
[13:30] <cablop> what's hpux?
[13:30] <admiralshlorky> which is, imo, just about as cool as ubuntu
[13:30] <admiralshlorky> it's unix
[13:30] <admiralshlorky> rather than linux
[13:31] <admiralshlorky> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP-UX
[13:32] <admiralshlorky> it's the most super retardedly awesome proprietary os out there
[13:33] <cablop> you said awesome and rtardly in the same sentence... so i guess it is a bad os
[13:33] <admiralshlorky> nah
[13:33] <lucian> bah. (initramfs) unable to find a medium containing a live file system
[13:33] <lucian> any ideas?
[13:33] <admiralshlorky> it's pretty fucking awesome
[13:33] <cablop> does it support mysql?
[13:33] <ActionParsnip> lucian: installing from liveCD?
[13:33] <cablop> afaik mysql is not going to support unix anymore
[13:33] <admiralshlorky> and by retardedly awesome, i mean so awesome that it would blow so much of your mind that it would make you retarded
[13:33] <admiralshlorky> yes
[13:33] <deej1976> !language | admiralshlorky
[13:33] <admiralshlorky> gah
[13:33] <admiralshlorky> sorry deej1976
[13:33] <lucian> ActionParsnip: live usb, on that Thinkpad E325
[13:33] <admiralshlorky> i'm just really excited about unix
[13:34] <deej1976> cablop| time to install mariaDB :D
[13:34] <admiralshlorky> cablop, it wouldn't make any sense from mysql's perspective to stop supporting unix
[13:35] <ActionParsnip> lucian: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[13:35] <lucian> ActionParsnip: yep
[13:35] <thrope> how to add setenv option to sudoers to get sudo -E to work?
[13:35] <deej1976> admiralshlorky: MySQL is under Oracles wings now
[13:35] <admiralshlorky> oh?
[13:35] <clipartcat> admiralshlorky, do you live in a tin can?
[13:36] <LjL> !ot
[13:36] <admiralshlorky> clipartcat something like that, but i like it very much. no need to be rude
[13:37] <clipartcat> admiralshlorky, well it was intended to be a friendly joke, if you haven't noticed that mysql ownership change :)
[13:37] <admiralshlorky> sorry, i'm relatively new to servers
[13:37] <admiralshlorky> and mysql hasn't really been anything of much focus to me
[13:38] <admiralshlorky> i'm just recently set it up on a machine to play around with, but other than that, i don't really have any experience with it
[13:38] <clipartcat> as it's been quite much discussed in nerd media. monty leaving oracle and writing open letters and such :)
[13:38] <admiralshlorky> yep, don't really subscribe to the nerd media
[13:39] <admiralshlorky> unfortunately, my time is divided fairly equally between getting drunk, learning about unix and working
[13:39] <admiralshlorky> not much spare time between the three of those
[13:40] <schnuffle> admiralshlorky: this is a support channel use #ubuntu-offtopic for talkgin
[13:40] <admiralshlorky> Sir.
[13:40] <admiralshlorky> i was defending my honor. i'd prefer to joust than to go off topic, but by all means understand the context.
[13:41] <viks> hi
[13:41] <viks> to all
[13:41] <viks> :)
[13:41] <RaTTuS|BIG> viks just ask your question
[13:41] <reisi> hi there, just started kubuntu installation on asus 1215b laptop, mouse/trackpad driver doesn't seem to be loaded automatically, any tips?
[13:42] <apwbdjp> reisi, what you say not loaded automatically, you mean you found out a way to load them manually?
[13:42] <Um_cara_qualquer> does anybdody knows where do I extract this file to fix emesene conection problem? https://github.com/emesene/emesene/zipball/master
[13:43] <xangua> Um_cara_qualquer: extract it anywhere and run it, like the emesene blog says
[13:43] <viks> any one can plz help about web print
[13:43] <Um_cara_qualquer> ok
[13:43] <schnuffle> !ask | viks
[13:44] <admiralshlorky> he did ask
[13:44] <reisi> apwbdjp: i didn't find; just wondering if someone had guessed which kernel modules isn't loading automatically
[13:44] <Um_cara_qualquer> xangua, hehe how do I run it? :P
[13:44] <reisi> usb mouse works
[13:44] <admiralshlorky> oh, nvm, that also refers to question syntax
[13:44] <schnuffle> admiralshlorky:  OKay my car is broken, can you help me? :)
[13:44] <xangua> Um_cara_qualquer: double clic¿
[13:44] <admiralshlorky> sure, is it making any sounds?
[13:45] <admiralshlorky> other than the normal variety?
[13:45] <Um_cara_qualquer> xangua,  it has manu archives in it
[13:45] <Um_cara_qualquer> and none of them is an executable
[13:46] <xangua> Um_cara_qualquer: i just run it
[13:46] <xangua> right now, now gone ;) preffer pidgin
[13:46] <viks> how to install dropbox in kubuntu 11.10
[13:47] <Um_cara_qualquer> xangua, o_O it's a rar file... how do you run it?
[13:47] <Um_cara_qualquer> ops, zip file
[13:47] <Um_cara_qualquer> with lots of directorys in it...
[13:47] <Um_cara_qualquer> o_O what's the command?
[13:47] <admiralshlorky> viks: http://www.dropbox.com/install?os=lnx
[13:47] <schnuffle> Um_cara_qualquer: it's a python installer for windows, so it won't run on Linux
[13:47] <admiralshlorky> click the .deb version
[13:47] <lucian> does hibernation require a swap partition, or can it work with a swap file?
[13:48] <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] <viks> thank you guys
[13:48] <apwbdjp> lucian, it does.
[13:48] <admiralshlorky> np
[13:48] <xangua> Um_cara_qualquer: extract it, enter the emesene directory and run the 'emesene' file
[13:49] <lucian> apwbdjp: thanks
[13:49] <marsfligth> Do you know an equivalent for *'autotras'*?
[13:49] <schnuffle> Um_cara_qualquer: There's aPPA to install emesene under Ubuntu: http://blog.emesene.org/p/downloads.html
[13:50] <xangua> marsfligth: and whar does autotras do¿ if we can know...
[13:50] <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
[13:51] <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.
[13:52] <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
[13:53] <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] <viks> best colour :)
[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
[13:54] <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
[13:55] <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 :(
[13:56] <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
[13:57] <admiralshlorky> but based on what i've seen on a combination of csi/wikipedia, data is ALWAYS recoverable.
[13:57] <admiralshlorky> har.
[13:57] <schnuffle> admiralshlorky: Then trust ActionParsnip, overwrite your data and it's gone!!
[13:57] <ActionParsnip> admiralshlorky: the citations are 10 years out of date, newer stuff is used
[13:58] <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
[13:59] <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 ?
[14:00] <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] <admiralshlorky> that was my favorite parsnip.
[14:00] <sevenearths> apwbdjp: cool. cheers!
[14:01] <Um_cara_qualquer> xangua, plz don't get mad... I'm new on ubuntu, and I don't have a clue witch might be the executable of emesene :P... in the extracted directory
[14:01] <CharminTheMoose> Are there any applications out there that displays windows in a box, similar to twm/ctwm's window box?
[14:01] <Nertskull> what can I use to monitor which port a program is using?
[14:02] <RaTTuS|BIG> Nertskull netstat
[14:02] <admiralshlorky> charminthemoose based on a quick google, twm runs on linux
[14:02] <null`> anyone ?:/
[14:03] <CharminTheMoose> admiralshlorky: so you're suggesting I just run twm then?
[14:03] <admiralshlorky> charminthemoose i'm not really suggesting anything here, i have no experience with it as far as i know
[14:03] <sevenearths> anyone know how I can get the following as just a number: 'cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THM0/temperature'?
[14:03] <admiralshlorky> but it looks to be part of the gnome2 package
[14:04] <shomon> hi, does anyone know how to diagnose tinny audio on ubuntu? http://askubuntu.com/questions/75395/poor-sound-quality-on-ubuntu-compared-to-winxp-why
[14:04] <shomon> like that question.. but how can I tell if there's a setting out of place?
[14:04] <schnuffle> Um_cara_qualquer: if you extract the package cd into it, then you run python setup.py build. You'll have the binaries under ./build
[14:04] <admiralshlorky> so, my guess is that it's probably something that runs on linux, which leads me to suggest that it may instead of being a viable alternative, a direct port
[14:04] <undream> Hello there
[14:04] <admiralshlorky> or possibly originally written for linux
[14:04] <undream> I am going to install ubuntu on a machine
[14:04] <admiralshlorky> ^easiest os install ever
[14:05] <undream> I want to ask this simple question: 32bit or 64bit ?
[14:05] <admiralshlorky> what type of processor do you have?
[14:05] <Nertskull> RaTTuS|BIG: I'm not sure how to use netstat for that, because it only gives me a current snapshot, but my program only uses the port when I type in it, so I can't to both at the same time
[14:05] <Nertskull> is there a way to continually refresh netsat?
[14:05] <mathi_> hi
[14:05] <schnuffle> undream: more then 4GB RAM 64Bit, less 32Bit is alright
[14:05] <undream> I have 12 gigs of ram, 64 seems lile my first pick at this point, but I would like to ask if there are any problems about going for the 64 bit release
[14:05] <RaTTuS|BIG> undream - if you have more than 4GB RAm then 64bit otherise 32bit
[14:05] <admiralshlorky> derp
[14:05] <RaTTuS|BIG> no problems with 64bit software
[14:05] <Um_cara_qualquer> schnuffle, just to be clear, this is the command: "python setup.py build" ... and than ./build?
[14:05] <JapyDooge> Ubuntu Server is still my favorite build environment, it's awesome for that <3
[14:06] <JapyDooge> never had an easier OS to set it up
[14:06] <undream> Thank you :) what about flash for 64 bit ?
[14:06] <undream> I'm reading a lot of problems about it
[14:06] <henkye> undream: take also this in consideration: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/153/capturadetelaie.png/
[14:06] <RaTTuS|BIG> no worries for flash - seem to work ok
[14:06] <undream> Thank you vey much
[14:06] <undream> I'll go for 64
[14:06] <henkye> undream: sry, this one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension
[14:06] <Um_cara_qualquer> ?

[14:10] <schnuffle> Um_cara_qualquer: That is clear but how do you want to solve this problem? Install from the sources?
[14:10] <deej1976> !gnome-tweak-tool?
[14:10] <schnuffle> Um_cara_qualquer: MAybe it's a good solution to sort out what the connection problem is?
[14:10] <admiralshlorky> installing from source might be a pain in the ass, if you can install from repos, you probably should
[14:10] <Um_cara_qualquer> hmmm... it was conecting few days ago...
[14:11] <xangua> omg you like to do everything harder....

[14:30] <qxt> Just installed a clients machine with Ubuntu. Recommended Arch Linux but they wanted Ubuntu. I am about to compile a new kernel "Linux 3.0.8". Since this machine using AES256 with a 512 Whirlpool hash digest for full disk encryption I need to make sure AES-NI of the SB 2600 is enabled. The kernel flags should be CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES=y
[14:30] <qxt> CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES_X86_64=m
[14:30] <qxt> CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES_NI_INTEL=m in .config ... is that right?
[14:30] <deej1976> !pastebin | qxt
[14:30] <shomon> cool OliveGreen
[14:30] <shomon> yw
[14:30] <jesus_> schnuffle am new to ubuntu and going to be messing around with its setting like compiz if i do anything wrong i would like to be able to go back to the one it was befor
[14:31] <qxt> CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES_NI_INTEL=m is what I am wondering about
[14:31] <qxt> Also need to know about VT-d.
[14:31] <schnuffle> jesus_:  what you can do is using LVM. With that you can set a snapshot and recover to it later
[14:31] <OliveGreen> shomon, Now I can enjoy me favorite Soma FM streams on Rhythmbox. Thanks again! ;)
[14:32] <shomon> excellent! I'm still stuck with my tinny audio problem :'(
[14:32] <qxt> This desktop looks like a bad joke of a Windows 7 pimped out smart phone!
[14:32] <deej1976> !notunity | qxt
[14:33] <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?
[14:34] <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
[14:35] <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.
[14:36] <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.
[14:37] <henkye> qxt: there are more alternatives than Gnome3 or Unity ...
[14:37] <jesus_> schnuffle thanks
[14:38] <adi11> anyone any idea? thanks
[14:38] <be01850> RaTTuS|BIG: (sorry if I do not follow the etiquette, I'm not used to IRC) Are you still there?
[14:39] <schnuffle> jesus_:  another option is to use virtualization, you setup a system, save it so that you can always restart at the beginning
[14:40] <be01850> schnuffle: I'd just need the output of the following command to repair my system: find /usr /etc -ls
[14:40] <jesus_> schnuffle how would i do that
[14:41] <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] <kandinski> I have an old USB wireless adapter, where should I start to see if it works in the latest ubuntu? I plug it and it doesn appear under Internet Connections. It has no label.
[14:41] <jesus_> virtualization
[14:41]  * RaTTuS|BIG going for coffee back in 5 mins
[14:42] <iExist> where can som1 see the messages when a usb connect?
[14:42] <iExist> /var/log/dmesg?
[14:42] <be01850> RaTTuS|BIG: ok, thx for you answers anyway
[14:42] <edbian> iExist: yep
[14:42] <iExist> ok
[14:42] <be01850> RaTTuS|BIG: please ping me when you're back
[14:44] <schnuffle> jesus_:  you use KVM or VirtualBox ... to setup a virtual machine. Those tools have a snapshot function as well. In that way you can play around and when the system is broken you can just restart from scratch
[14:47] <Dark_Apostrophe> Hello, does anyone know how long it's likely to take for the new Firefox update to hit the main Ubuntu repositories?
[14:47] <jesus_> schnuffle ok
[14:48] <qxt> What exactly is the ideology/metaphor behind the GUI in Unity. The Traditional Desktop Metaphor has been mainstream since the Xerox Alto 1973.
[14:48] <deej1976> !ff | Dark_Apostrophe
[14:48] <tensorpudding> !ot | qxt
[14:49] <qxt> tensorpudding, I SAID Unity. That is Ubuntu right?
[14:49] <tensorpudding> not all discussion about unity is support
[14:49] <riffautae> qxt: thats not really a support question
[14:50] <tensorpudding> it's also to stem a pointless debate from taking up time in this busy channel
[14:50] <Dark_Apostrophe> deej1976: Thanks
[14:51] <madmachine> ubuntu! Proudly South African!
[14:51] <madmachine> hehehehe
[14:53] <madmachine> would you guys rather run FreeNAS or SAMBA on Ubuntu?
[14:54] <tensorpudding> madmachine, freenas is not ubuntu
[14:54] <tensorpudding> nor is it software which runs in ubuntu
[14:56] <be01850> RaTTuS|BIG: I'll install a fresh ubuntu 11.4 in a virtual box and I'll get my informations there.  Thanks for your answers
[14:56] <lolzer>  hi i have installed kde desktop on ubuntu 11.04
[14:56] <be01850> RaTTuS|BIG: bye
[14:56] <lolzer> but i am facing problems with the  headphone output
[14:56] <lolzer>  its not balanced and also very low
[14:57] <henkye> lolzer: run alsamixer in terminal for more options
[14:58] <qxt> riffautae, I need some support understanding what this desktop is all about. Should I go buy a book to find out? 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] <SunTzu> heh
[14:58] <SunTzu> qxt is there a trinity of that unholy? ;]
[14:58] <jesus_> schnuffle would this also work looks easyer http://beginlinux.wordpress.com/2010/03/24/back-in-time-system-restore-on-ubuntu/
[14:58] <lx_gr> is there any place to find information on when firefox 8 will be available in updates? or the flash player updates?
[14:59] <deej1976> qxt: trying in channel #gnome
[14:59] <riffautae> qxt: they may be tutorials and such but I doubt there are books yet. Personally I use gnome2+i3 and avoid the whole mess
[14:59] <SunTzu> overdub !!
[14:59] <riffautae> qxt: when i upgrade to a distro with unity or gnome3 as the default i'll prolly switch to xfce+i3
[14:59] <schnuffle> jesus_:  don't know about but sounds nice
[15:00] <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).
[15:00] <henkye> one long term shame in ubuntu: watching flash videos triggers screensaver    any solution ?
[15:00] <riffautae> madmachine: i just use samba and ssh, you can use scp, rsync and git through that so its pretty easy to backup and access files from any comp
[15:02] <qxt> riffautae, Wow, now I know why Mint Linux is most likely going to outgrow Ubuntu. Personally I use Debian Wheezy with xfce.
[15:02] <Crazy> hello everyone,can i creat different file systems under one  partition ,and the partition was separated by me under the whole disks
[15:02] <SunTzu> crazy que loca ;]
[15:02] <Crazy> SunTzu: what?
[15:02] <SunTzu> 'no'
[15:03] <riffautae> Crazy: do you mean, make one partition for ubuntu on the hard drive and then have linux break that into multiple in a higher layer??
[15:03] <riffautae> Crazy: sorry about the extra '?' there
[15:03] <vishal> How to fix these -- 'Shell user-theme extension not enabled' and 'unknown extension error' in `gnome-tweak-tool` under natty?
[15:03] <Klunk> Hi guys, how can I stop the Input Signal Out of Range error on Ubuntu 11.04. I upgraded my son's PC and every since I cannot get a UI, I have just wiped with a new download and that didnt help, although the live CD booted fine
[15:04] <SunTzu> Klunk run Xorg with its reconfig option
[15:04] <riffautae> Klunk: that means ubuntu is trying to display a video signal that is too high of a resolution or refresh rate.
[15:04] <riffautae> SunTzu: control-alt-f2 will get you a terminal
[15:04] <SunTzu> so?
[15:04] <Crazy> riffautae: i mean that the partition was just a part of the whole disks ,and i want install another linux system in that partition
[15:04] <riffautae> SunTzu: sorry meant Klunk ^^^
[15:04] <SunTzu> k
[15:04] <gulzar>  I am using custom cursor. When pointer is on some app like firefox or terminal it is acoording to the theme but when it is on wallpaper area it turns back to default black.. How to cure it? Using LXDE
[15:05] <madmachine> tensorpudding: i know.. i was asking, which disto would you choose to setup your own NAS system... rather FreeNAS or Ubutu with Samba and rsync, for instance...
[15:05] <SunTzu> crazy specify size of part then, not wholedisk
[15:05] <Klunk> I realise that riffautae, tried several things but cant change setup if I cant actually get a window in the first place
[15:05] <tensorpudding> madmachine, not a poll channel
[15:05] <riffautae> Crazy: sorrry i dont know what 'whole disks' is
[15:05] <Klunk> I will try getting a terminal but I tried that before with no luck
[15:05] <SunTzu> riffautae the whole disk, like dos used to use
[15:05] <Crazy> SunTzu: you are right
[15:05] <SunTzu> k
[15:05] <madmachine> tensorpudding, thx...
[15:06] <riffautae> SunTzu: ? you mean a single partition taking up the whole drive?
[15:06] <SunTzu> yes
[15:06] <Crazy> riffautae: yes
[15:06] <aconbere> slightly odd question, I'm not running in Gnome, I have an external monitor connected through a laptop dock. If I undock, and redock the external monitor doesn't come out of power savings mode. XRANDR shows it as connected, but I can't wake it.
[15:06] <Crazy> riffautae: thats it
[15:06] <aconbere> Any thoughts on ways to force an external montitor to wake :)
[15:07] <riffautae> Crazy: so you want to install linux on one big partition?
[15:07] <SunTzu> aconbere is a module used to access it?
[15:07] <Crazy> riffautae: yes thats it
[15:07] <Klunk> riffautae - ctrl-alt-f2 does nothing. How can I tell if I have actually got a booting system. I have tried using the numpad keys to change resolution as well and that didnt work
[15:07] <aconbere> SunTzu: a module? (sorry not sure what that means)
[15:07] <SunTzu> aconbere kernel module loaded
[15:07] <Crazy> riffautae: can i?
[15:07] <riffautae> Klunk: do you get a 'grub' screen on boot that lets you select which kernel/os?
[15:08] <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
[15:09] <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] <learner> is there any good GUI download accelerator other than Axel for ubuntu 10.10?
[15:09] <aconbere> SunTzu: I've recently moved off of gnome and been doing a bunch of hand power management in acpi so still learning
[15:09] <SunTzu> aconbere k...
[15:09] <riffautae> Klunk: check the boot order in your bios and make sure it is set up to look at the hdd with ubuntu on it first
[15:10] <SunTzu> aconbere ##Xorg or #Xorg
[15:10] <aconbere> SunTzu: roger
[15:10] <SunTzu> k
[15:10] <Klunk> there is only one hdd, I had it hdd then cd before, changed to cdrom -> hdd so I could boot a live cd
[15:10] <gulzar>  Please help .I am using custom cursor. When pointer is on some app like firefox or terminal it is acoording to the theme but when it is on wallpaper area it turns back to default black.. How to cure it? Using LXDE
[15:10] <Klunk> and the hdd has a single partition
[15:12] <Crazy> riffautae: when i mount it as '/', how can i create a swap file system
[15:12] <adi11> hi guys. what is the name of that app that lets you install so many other apps in ubuntu
[15:12] <SunTzu> crazy read the docs
[15:12] <dcherniv> adi11, synaptic
[15:12] <RaTTuS|BIG> adi11 sudo apt-get
[15:12] <adi11> its not from canonical. its a third party
[15:12] <adi11> no
[15:12] <riffautae> adi11: synaptic?
[15:12] <adi11> it have some repos and you can find all propietary apps
[15:12] <Crazy> SunTzu: the help of ubuntu ?
[15:12] <riffautae> adi11: oops late to the party
[15:12] <deej1976> adi11: ubuntu-tweak
[15:13] <SunTzu> crazy on your hd
[15:13] <learner> is there any good GUI download accelerator other than Axel for ubuntu 10.10
[15:13] <adi11> and the winner is : deej1976
[15:13] <SunTzu> learner there are alternatives, ie, wget
[15:13] <adi11> thank you very much
[15:13] <riffautae> Crazy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq this has a section talking about swap as a file, its not a header item so youll have to look through to find it
[15:14] <learner> SunTsu, any GUI ??
[15:14] <Crazy> riffautae: thank you
[15:14] <jost_> can anybody point me to a reference of cifs return codes? I get a -22, and don't know what that means.
[15:14] <SunTzu> learner for which brower?
[15:14] <SunTsu> learner: watch the difference ;)
[15:14] <henkye> learner: maybe jDownloader will suit your needs ?
[15:14] <SunTzu> jost_ google `cifs error -22'
[15:15] <gulzar> learner: use Kget
[15:15] <learner> SunTsu, for mozilla
[15:15] <SunTzu> learner get flashgot for that
[15:15] <SunTsu> learner: again: SunTsu != SunTzu
[15:15] <gulzar> learner: can also use aria2.. though command line but very simple with resuem and continue download
[15:15] <SunTzu> suntsu oopsie
[15:16] <gulzar> learner: for that flashgot will be a good option
[15:16] <magma> If I have a user that it is not admin, it cannot do network modifications (as in change the wireless network)... Why does this happen
[15:16] <SunTsu> SunTzu: yeah, a little bit confusing ;)
[15:16] <SunTzu> a bit ;]
[15:16] <daviddoria> My Software Center is missing the search box in the top right: http://daviddoria.com/Uploads/SoftwareCenter.png - Is there a way to get it to be displayed?
[15:17] <Klunk> riffautae. Tried making hdd first boot device, now I get the message 'Loading Operating System' followed by the screen go blank and input signal out of range
[15:17] <jost_> SunTzu, I already did that. I've also read man mount.cifs...
[15:17] <apwbdjp> davidcalle, I think it's not part of 11.10 anymore, or something, you can install it manually
[15:17] <luca_bi> Dear friends, I'm using phpmyadmin I'm studying the types of data one can put in a table. I think it depends on what you want to create isn't?? Is there a discussion about that??
[15:17] <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?
[15:17] <apwbdjp> daviddoria* I meant! My appologies to davidcalle.
[15:17] <Free-man> jost_ read the src then
[15:17] <magma> How can I make that normal users can change the wireless network??
[15:18] <deej1976> luca_bi try #mysql
[15:18] <dcherniv> jost_, try mounting with --verbose flag
[15:19] <daviddoria> apwbdjp, how would I install it?
[15:19] <dcherniv> blind, what does your dmesg say?
[15:20] <blind> From what I can see, nothing out of the ordinary, here it is: http://pastebin.com/hAyYSeFp
[15:20] <jost_> dcherniv, i've done that too, nothing than the generic error message (wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock, missing codepage,...)
[15:20] <apwbdjp> daviddoria, sudo apt-get install software-center
[15:20] <n3glv> Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/l/linux/linux-image-2.6.35-31-generic_2.6.35-31.62_i386.deb 404  Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.183 80]
[15:20] <daviddoria> but I have the software center right? just not the search box?
[15:20] <dcherniv> jost_, whats the command you're using to mount?
[15:20] <jost_> and in the syslog only "CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code =-22
[15:20] <jost_> "
[15:20] <apwbdjp> daviddoria, oh.. that's is weird..
[15:20] <daviddoria> apwbdjp, yea - "software-center is already the newest version."

[15:21] <magma> How can I make normal users to change the wireless network without needing to introduce root password??
[15:22] <lvidal> hello
[15:22] <blind> magma: with network-manager or wicd ?
[15:22] <n3glv> Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/l/linux/linux-image-2.6.35-31-generic_2.6.35-31.62_i386.deb 404  Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.183 80]
[15:22] <n3glv> again
[15:22] <magma> blind: with the icon that appears in unity near the clock
[15:22] <blind> yeah.. any user should be able to use that
[15:23] <magma> blind: but in the last ubuntu, it asks for sudo authentication
[15:23] <lvidal> I have a virtual machine with ubuntu server 10.11 and I'm trying to connect to mysql from another machine in the LAN but it seems that 3306 port is closed, how can I open it?
[15:23] <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
[15:24] <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
[15:25] <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.
[15:26] <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] <Tausen> I posted on the ubuntu forums with details, here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1878993
[15:27] <magma> and it says "insert authentication for network modifications"

What can I do? - dmesg http://pastebin.com/cRiAXAcT
[15:30] <n3glv> Tausen: kubuntu?
[15:30] <Tausen> n3glv: Just ubuntu desktop 11.04
[15:32] <jost_> dcherniv, i found the problem. CIFS was not installed... :(
[15:32] <WhuazGoodYo> hey hou, can someone tell me how to remove the password from my user account?
[15:33] <riffautae> WhuazGoodYo: do you want the gui to auto login or is this ssh related?
[15:33] <Oogabooga> help. When installing a motherboard, does it matter if you don't use all the screws to screw it into the case?
[15:34] <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> oh, the thing that the mobo screws into?
[15:34] <needhelp> Hello, when I try to run a .php file from localhost, I get a popup errormessage saying that it couldnt save /tmp/somefile because the source couldnt be read. Any idea?
[15:34] <riffautae> Oogabooga: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Toennchen_IMGP5029_wp.jpg
[15:35] <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> fml
[15:35] <riffautae> Oogabooga: might be the psu
[15:36] <szal> !language | Oogabooga
[15:36] <riffautae> Oogabooga: if you have a pooppy psu nothing on the computer is going to wok right
[15:36] <dpb|> Overheated?
[15:36] <Oogabooga> dpb|: yeah
[15:36] <overdub> Oogabooga: sounds like power supply problem
[15:36] <Oogabooga> but overheating shouldn't fry the mobo so easily
[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] <dpb|> If ur gaming its probably the gpu
[15:37] <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)
[15:38] <Oogabooga> riffautae: already on my second PSU, this one is from Best Buy
[15:38] <riffautae> Oogabooga: hm so prolly antec or corsair i think
[15:38] <Oogabooga> Thermaltake
[15:38] <Oogabooga> 450W, should be plenty i think
[15:39] <kaushal> Hi
[15:39] <kaushal> can partner repos be integrated with local ubuntu mirror using deb mirror ?
[15:39] <ccmonster> hey guys, how do I get guake to show up on the bigger screen of my dual monitor setup?
[15:40] <Oogabooga> ccmonster: try rubbing your pen0r on the bigger screen
[15:40] <riffautae> ccmonster: set it as the primary or run it with DISPLAY=:0.1 quake
[15:40] <ccmonster> not quake, GUAKE
[15:40] <apwbdjp> ccmonster, DISPLAY=:0.1 guake, I believe
[15:40] <ccmonster> hm.
[15:40] <ccmonster> where do I set that?
[15:40] <riffautae> ccmonster: oh no idea what that is but what i said should still work
[15:40] <ccmonster>  i have nvidia drivers
[15:41] <riffautae> ccmonster: nvidia-settings-manager or something
[15:41] <apwbdjp> ccmonster, the nvidia manager should tell which display is which. Just do DISPLAY=:[display] guake (in a terminal)
[15:42] <ccmonster> what do i put in the [DISPLAY]
[15:42] <riffautae> ccmonster: 0.1    i bet
[15:42] <apwbdjp> the display number of the bigger screen, probably 0.1
[15:43] <riffautae> ccmonster: so it will look like    DISPLAY=:0.1
[15:43] <ccmonster> when i type display i get
[15:43] <ccmonster> display: unable to open X server `:[0.1]' @ error/display.c/DisplayImageCommand/424.
[15:44] <riffautae> ccmonster: dont put in the []'s
[15:44] <apwbdjp> ccmonster, my bad, without the [].
[15:45] <ccmonster> when i type display=:0.1 nothign happens really
[15:45] <ccmonster> no feedback in the terminal
[15:45] <apwbdjp> DISPLAY=:0.1 guake
[15:45] <lvidal> hi
[15:46] <ccmonster> caps for DISPLAY?
[15:46] <riffautae> ccmonster: exactly like that, display in all caps
[15:46] <Tausen> Hey everyone - I've got a major issue with my ubuntu 11.04. (let me know if I'm asking this to frequently!)
[15:46] <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

[15:49] <xuser1> hi
[15:49] <riffautae> Crazy: no need for a separate boot if you make your one big partition /
[15:49] <apwbdjp> ccmonster, open a terminal (not guake, any terminal) on the bigger screen, and do this: echo $DISPLAY

[15:53] <badapple> noobody can help ? :(
[15:53] <riffautae> drapedup: 100mbit is in bits not bytes so its 8 times slower then it sounds
[15:53] <koskoz> deej1976, I don't have default application in system settings...
[15:54] <deej1976> system settings Than System Info
[15:54] <kandinski> Tausend, no worries, and thanks a lot

[15:56] <Klunk> I am very disappointed with Ubuntu 11.10. It just fails to work on my PC, but the Live CD works fine. I have managed to get a responding system, but it is not a complete install. I have just set the grub resolution to 640x480, the machine starts, shows a splash screen and the switches to text mode, displaying a load of service started then stopped messages. I can now get a terminal but it does not start the UI
[15:56] <riffautae> janisozaur: http://jonathanwagner.net/2007/04/zero-padding-in-bash/
[15:56] <Hjax> hi
[15:56] <riffautae> Klunk: are you using a crt?
[15:57] <janisozaur> riffautae, ah, the "printf" command. totally forgot about that one. thanks a lot
[15:57] <koskoz> deej1976, it's strange because when I click on the mail icon on the top right of the desktop it's evolution which is set, not thunderbird
[15:57] <Klunk> no, but a 4:3 panel
[15:57] <riffautae> Klunk: hm what is the model num and such
[15:57] <deej1976> koskoz: Have you Gone into System Settings -> System Info -> Default Applications ?
[15:57] <reisi> does anyone have working accelerated video using vlc and fglrx drivers? i have fglrx and xvba-va backedn installed, but still no vlc output named vaapi or something like that
[15:58] <koskoz> deej1976, yes, and it's thunderbird which is set
[15:58] <dcherniv> janisozaur, same way as in C
[15:58] <dcherniv> janisozaur, printf %.3d 5
[15:58] <deej1976> koskoz: Is evolution still running?
[15:59] <koskoz> deej1976, it's not even launched
[15:59] <needhelp> deej1976: no diff. Btw, it sais its the source files that couldnt be read. That happens to any php-files inside www-directory
[15:59] <deej1976> needhelp: What the permissions on the php files?
[15:59] <riffautae> Klunk: what you prolly need to do is make a screen entry in /etc/X11/xorg.conf and set the horiz and vert scan rates. the monitor EDID data [tells the comp what it can do] must not be working
[16:00] <deej1976> koskoz: On my fresh install clicking Mail brings up Thunderbird
[16:00] <adrian> hello
[16:00] <koskoz> deej1976, that's really weird, I just made the upgrade from 10.10 to 11.10
[16:00] <Guest81788> hola
[16:00] <Klunk> so it just wipes away what was working on the old install and gives me a non-working system. Well done Canonical, great job
[16:01] <Guest81788> hola
[16:02] <deej1976> koskoz: What happens if you run Thunderbird, it should complain about not being default app
[16:02] <Klunk> I should not have to go through all this to do an upgrade, I am sorely tempted to use another distro, what with all the move to Unity, a major step backwards IMO, what was good about Ubuntu was I could choose what I wanted, Unity is horrible
[16:03] <deej1976> !notunity | Klunk
[16:03] <dr_willis> Unity is not Horrible.. but theres Lubuntu (lxde) or xububntu (xfce) if you perfer Klunk
[16:03] <koskoz> deej1976, it shouldn't considering it's already the default mail client
[16:03] <apwbdjp> Klunk, I believe you can still chose what you want. I'm using lxde on Ubuntu.
[16:03] <dr_willis> Or theres the Gnome-shell route.
[16:03] <deej1976> koskoz: Have you tried it?
[16:03] <deej1976> !info xubuntu-desktop
[16:04] <needhelp> deej1976: I just did: /var/www$ sudo chmod -R 755 *
[16:04] <koskoz> deej1976, yes
[16:05] <Klunk> I know lots of people that are looking at other distros because unity is the default in Ubuntu, its a shame really because a lot of peole are goingt o move away from a distro they have used for years. I started back with 4.01
[16:05] <mengesb> I have a three monitor display system, and Ubuntu with NVIDIA drivers recognizes the monitors in 2-display pairs (2880x900 +1440+0 in my three display scenario). This makes 'maximizing' on my left two displays expand to both, whereas the right display is treated independent, and expands to only the one. Is there a way to constrict them without doing seperate x displays?
[16:05] <BrianXP7> I'm back!
[16:06] <BrianXP7> So, how do I force 16:9 on an Intel 82865g chip?
[16:06] <deej1976> koskoz: Have you tried un-installing evolution
[16:06] <dr_willis> mengesb:  ive never did manage to get 3 monitors working totally right.   You are using a single card with 3 video outs? or 2 cards?
[16:06] <koskoz> deej1976, not yet
[16:06] <xuser1> hi
[16:07] <xuser1> can you recommend me a good alternative for gnome 3 panrl?
[16:07] <mengesb> dr_willis: I'm using a single card with support for 4xDVI heads; Galaxy MDTx4
[16:07] <koskoz> deej1976, I think I'll just reboot because VLC is set as the default video app and it still not launching as the default one
[16:07] <dr_willis> xuser1:  any of the various docks can work.  it depends on what you want  the alternative to do
[16:08] <xuser1> i like gnome , cause it has the best aplications  but i hate that panel
[16:08] <dr_willis> mengesb:  you must have a large desk. :) not seen that card..
[16:08] <BrianXP7> So, how do I force 16:9 on an Intel 82865g chip?
[16:08] <dr_willis> xuser1:  you refering to gnome2 or the gnome-3 stuff?
[16:08] <deej1976> !repeat | BrianXP7
[16:08] <BrianXP7> help me...?
[16:08] <xuser1> can you recommend me something?
[16:08] <compdoc> xuser1, log on with the gnome-classic option. thats a decent, no frills desktop
[16:08] <dr_willis> !dock
[16:08] <xuser1> im refering to g 3
[16:08] <mengesb> dr_willis: It works well ultimately... but every time I maximize on either of the left two monitors... I get a giant 2880x900 application, versus the right monitor it treats it like 1440x900 added...
[16:08] <BrianXP7> thx
[16:08] <dr_willis> xuser1:  any of the docks can work.. depending omn your needs..
[16:09] <dr_willis> mengesb:  you have restarted X since enabling all 3? ive noticed oddities if i dont resart X after setting my twin monitors up.
[16:09] <mengesb> dr_willis: I've rebooted several times actually
[16:10] <mengesb> dr_willis: but it appears to show only 2 displays... with it merging the left two
[16:10] <mengesb> dr_willis: I guess that's more of a nvidia issue?
[16:10] <mengesb> dr_willis: well, I haven't looked at my xorg.conf lately
[16:11] <Error404NotFound> What are the devices files that are available on linux for hard disks? /dev/sd* /dev/hd* ?
[16:11] <fgro> hi folks. trying to resume from pm-suspend I get stuck on blank screen? how to debug? this is thinkpad edge 13
[16:11] <genii-around> Error404NotFound: /dev/sd*
[16:12] <mengesb> dr_willis: wow, just one monitor defined, one device defined, and one screen defined
[16:12] <apwbdjp> Error404NotFound, I think it's only these two..
[16:12] <Error404NotFound> genii-around: just that? i have an old box, very old and its hard disks are /dev/hda and /dev/hdb
[16:12] <[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
[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>?
[16:13] <Error404NotFound> genii-around: hmmm, and in /dev/sd i can only have 26 disks at max?
[16:13] <mengesb> dr_willis: yeah, one display shows 1440x900, the other shows 2880x900
[16:14] <mengesb> DFP-2 shows the normal one monitor resolution; the DFP-3 shows it as two combined monitors
[16:14] <genii-around> Error404NotFound: No, after sdz goes sdaa sdab, etc
[16:15] <Error404NotFound> genii-around: aaahhh, so i can add quite a lot :)
[16:15] <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] <mengesb> dr_willis:  i guess that's my issue, it combines two monitors and the hardware reports one display
[16:16] <apwbdjp> Error404NotFound, if it's limited to sdaa -> sdzz, It's more around 26²
[16:16] <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
[16:17] <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] <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
[16:18] <mengesb> dr_willis: it would appear so
[16:18] <bjrohan> Can anyone help me with changing the UUID of a drive? While trying to grow a partition, I accidently copied it, now I have 2 partitions with same UUID, NOT a good thing
[16:18] <xuser1> incant use kdocker on gnome
[16:18] <dr_willis> bjrohan:  the tune2fs command can change the uuid.
[16:18] <Error404NotFound> apwbdjp: nothing is infinite :D we reach a kernel panic before that
[16:18] <mengesb> dr_willis: unfortunately.... maybe I can see if galaxy can help, or perhaps nvidia
[16:18] <dr_willis> bjrohan:  the uuid of a filesystem technicaly.
[16:18] <bjrohan> I tried tune2fs /dev/sda5 -U 2634bab9-a5d0-42f9-9c6d-0afeec72a37b but received the msg can't find superblock dr_willis
[16:19] <dr_willis> bjrohan:  what fs is the drive>?
[16:19] <apwbdjp> Error404NotFound, maybe filename lenght limit?
[16:19] <Error404NotFound> apwbdjp: yes.
[16:19] <bjrohan> dr_willis /dev/sda5
[16:19] <bjrohan> dr_willis ext4
[16:19] <dr_willis> bjrohan:  Hmm.. ive used that command all the time to change mine. You may want to pastebin 'sudo fdisk -l' output for referance.
[16:20] <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?
[16:21] <mengesb> dmesg output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/735384/
[16:22] <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
[16:23] <bjrohan> pastebinit
[16:23] <bjrohan> dr_willis how to use pastebinit command. I have been using linux all of 3 weeks :-)
[16:24] <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
[16:25] <RaTTuS|BIG> bjrohan - sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[16:25] <Oins> Click at Nautilus
[16:25] <bruderbell> permissions on the albums directory shown in the pastebin
[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
[16:26] <bjrohan> thank you raTTus|BIG I thought pastebinit may have been an IRC thing
[16:26] <bruderbell> compdoc: albums directory is 777
[16:27] <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
[16:28] <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?
[16:29] <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
[16:30] <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
[16:31] <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
[16:32] <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?
[16:33] <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] <dcherniv> [  628.164872] exe (2025): /proc/2025/oom_adj is deprecated, please use /proc/2025/oom_score_adj instead.
[16:33] <bruderbell> compdoc: sounds fair enough.  So my primary concern is just getting the share to allow creating directories and writing files
[16:34] <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
[16:35] <blind> dcherniv: i don't know how i didn't notice that... what does that mean?
[16:35] <bjrohan> dr_willis also I have a pic of gparted here: http://imagebin.org/183590
[16:35] <compdoc> bruderbell, www-data would need a password, which it might have, but do you know what it is?
[16:35] <dcherniv> blind, is your "/" partition on sda1?
[16:35] <blind> it should be.
[16:36] <bruderbell> compdoc: i do not.  But the share directory is 777 permissions.  shouldn't even anonymous users be able to write to that?
[16:37] <compdoc> bruderbell, its easy enough to test
[16:38] <bruderbell> compdoc: do I need to restart a service or anything after editing the conf file?
[16:38] <compdoc> bruderbell, I think, but not sure, that samba might require and username, password, and permissions
[16:39] <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..
[16:40] <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?
[16:41] <MaryF\cknPop\ns> I ran apt-get remove apache2 and I still see it under /etc/init.d/
[16:41] <RaTTuS|BIG> MaryF\cknPop\ns - see apt-get purge
[16:41] <dr_willis> bjrohan:  if you are just using 4 partitions total. you could make them all primaries. and not mess with the  extended/logicls also.
[16:41] <MaryF\cknPop\ns> I want to reinstall it as it were from a fresh ubuntu installation.  FreeSwitch butchered my set up with vhosts and I want the original settings to restore.
[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.
[16:42] <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] <dr_willis> bjrohan:  well im off to bed. I will be back on in about 12 hrs..
[16:42] <bruderbell> compdoc: roger that
[16:43] <bjrohan> dr_willis my original intent had been to shrink sda1 as it is windows, and add that extra 60 GB to my 37 GB Linux
[16:43] <bjrohan> That is still what I would like to do. I appreciate the help dr_willis
[16:43] <zmbmartin> I had installed fglrx but since remove it. How can I restore default boot splash settings. When I installed fglrx it messed up my boot splash and I want to restore that now.
[16:43] <loculinux> hola
[16:44] <bjrohan> Anyone else know about partitions and can help me figure mine out, and correct them?
[16:44] <MaryF\cknPop\ns> is /var/www not the webdir for apache?  I ran apt-get purge apache2; apt-get install apache2
[16:44] <idefix> what is a good app for m4a files?
[16:44] <idefix> (what does it stand for btw?)
[16:45] <koskoz> I've got an issue with the interface since ubuntu 10.11. The bar with the 3 icons (reduce, minimize and close) is not showing
[16:45] <bruderbell> Is there a switch for the ls command to get it to list permissions with numerals vs rwx?
[16:45] <compdoc> bruderbell, if you added your username to the same group as www-data, and give the group permissions to write to the folder, that might be an alternative
[16:45] <MaryF\cknPop\ns> apt-get purge apache2 did not clear /var/www/
[16:45] <mxed> bjrohan, if you have winxp then rezice it with gparted or a ubuntu live cd and use gparted... if you have win7 then  you have inbuilt tool to recize partitions in the diskmanager
[16:45] <dcherniv> MaryF\cknPop\ns, its not supposed to /var/www is user data
[16:46] <bruderbell> compdoc: after restarting the service, I'm getting good write permissions.  It was my stupidity
[16:46] <mxed> bjrohan, meant xp and imagemagic
[16:46] <compdoc> cool
[16:46] <dcherniv> MaryF\cknPop\ns, how would you like it if when you removed a packaged it killed your $HOME/Music for example
[16:46] <bjrohan> mxed everything is resized, I just messed up with the unallocated blocks by copying my original Linux part to unallocated space, which is what my computer is booting into, now I have a bastard partition
[16:46] <MaryF\cknPop\ns> dcherniv: why is /etc/apache2/apache2.conf still here ?
[16:47] <bjrohan> mxed take a look at these:  http://imagebin.org/183590 and http://paste.ubuntu.com/735389/
[16:47] <dcherniv> MaryF\cknPop\ns, after --purge or after you reinstalled apache?
[16:47] <MaryF\cknPop\ns> dcherniv: after apt-get purge apache2
[16:48] <robertogitano> hola
[16:48] <robertogitano> hola alguien por aqui
[16:48] <MaryF\cknPop\ns> purge failed.
[16:48] <MaryF\cknPop\ns> linux fail.
[16:48] <dcherniv> hah
[16:48] <robertogitano> hola mary
[16:49] <dcherniv> MaryF\cknPop\ns, just move /etc/apache2 out of the way, mv /etc/apache2/ /etc/apache2.old and reinstall.
[16:49] <mneptok> MaryF\cknPop\ns: did you stop the apache process before trying to purge everything related to apache?
[16:49] <bjrohan> OR how about this, how do I "grow" a Linux partition with gparted live cd
[16:49] <sburjan> hello. how can I find out which is the device name of my sound card ? I mean the file from /dev
[16:49] <shida> exit
[16:50] <MaryF\cknPop\ns> mneptok: no
[16:50] <mneptok> MaryF\cknPop\ns: can't purge what's in use.
[16:50] <vinnie48> do you know stuff about ANDROID as well?
[16:50] <MaryF\cknPop\ns> mneptok: well I stopped the service, then purged it.  purge fail.
[16:51] <mxed> bjrohan, cant you delete that partion and make a new install and use sda2 to linux?
[16:51] <mneptok> MaryF\cknPop\ns: sudo invoke-rc.d apache2 stop && sudo apt-get purge apache2
[16:51] <MaryF\cknPop\ns> do I have to apt get it again just to purge it again?
[16:51] <vinnie48> I put some music on my mobile phone
[16:51] <mneptok> MaryF\cknPop\ns: yes. but there's not much point.
[16:52] <mneptok> MaryF\cknPop\ns: just move config files aside
[16:52] <vinnie48> but the phone displays it with unknown author, where in the properties of the file can I edit that?
[16:52] <mneptok> MaryF\cknPop\ns: and the obfuscated profanity in the nick is not really welcome.
[16:53] <mxed> bjrohan, and i think you can make sda2 as primary partition instead of extended
[16:53] <thiebaude> mneptok, it should be against code of conduct, just saying
[16:53] <bjrohan> mxed, I am 3 weeks new to Linux, I am not sure what you mean :-( I would prefer not to do any reinstall
[16:53] <raven> lvm pvcreate - neverending problem "cannot open /dev/sdx#  exclusively.  Mounted filesystem?"
[16:53] <bhavesh> Why isnt my Ubuntu software Center wine1.3 progress bar moving..?
[16:53] <mneptok> thiebaude: working on it without waving rules around (yet)
[16:53] <thiebaude> hmm, ok
[16:53] <MaryF\cknPop\ns>  sudo apt-get install apache2 ;    sudo invoke-rc.d apache2 stop && sudo apt-get purge apache2 ; cat /etc/apache2/apache2.conf   # FAILS
[16:54] <bjrohan> mxed, could you explain how my system is set up now exactly as the computer is seeing it?
[16:54] <MaryF\cknPop\ns> why can I still cat apache2.conf
[16:54] <blind> Okay, so I thought I was having wireless issues, and looking in dmesg, I see that /dev/sda1 (where / is) remounted itself - is this why my wireless stops working? Why does this happen? How can I fix it? Running 11.10
[16:54] <mneptok> MaryF\cknPop\ns: really, could you do something about that nick?
[16:54] <MaryF\cknPop\ns> mneptok: huh?
[16:54] <MaryF\cknPop\ns> what'
[16:54] <henkye> MaryF\cknPop\ns: try to fking delete it
[16:54] <henkye> >_<
[16:55] <mneptok> 09:52 < mneptok> MaryF\cknPop\ns: and the obfuscated profanity in the nick is not really welcome.
[16:55] <MaryF\cknPop\ns> mneptok: can you do something about  purging this damn thing?  Linux epic fails, so you change the subject.
[16:55] <MaryF\cknPop\ns> AND WINDOWS DOMINATES THE FREE MARKET!
[16:55] <thiebaude> !attitude
[16:55] <raven> lvm pvcreate - neverending problem "cannot open /dev/sdx#  exclusively.  Mounted filesystem?" any ideas?
[16:55] <vinnie48> WHAT?
[16:55] <sipior> MaryF\cknPop\ns: run along outside and play.
[16:56] <vinnie48> who cares about windows?
[16:56] <blind> ##windows
[16:56] <dcherniv> true that
[16:56] <webPragmatist> alright i need a vote for a backup machine running rdiff-backup should i put this in /home/rdiff-backup
[16:56] <MaryF\cknPop\ns> uhh i stopped the apache service, purged it and it's still running
[16:56] <webPragmatist> or /backups
[16:56] <MaryF\cknPop\ns> I even stopped the service
[16:56] <vsingh165> is anyone experiencing intermittent wifi connection issues on oneiric 64-bit?  I have an rt61pci-based linksys card on wpa-psk personal
[16:56] <raven> lvm pvcreate - neverending problem "cannot open /dev/sdx#  exclusively.  Mounted filesystem?" any ideas?
[16:56] <webPragmatist> (these are backups of other machines
[16:57] <blind> vsingh165: I am indeed ! but I'm 32 bit. any chance one of your partitions is remounting itself?
[16:57] <mxed> bjrohan, oh, you have 3 primary partitions  on the hd, it means you can use it to put in mbr and boot on these partiitons the fourth one and the rest will allways be extended ones, so you can use as example sda1 as primary one that boot up your linux on an extended  partition.
[16:57] <vsingh165> usually my connection is good, but sometimes it drops out and firefox keeps trying to "look up" a URL rather than just go to it
[16:57] <vsingh165> and sometimes I have to try my WPA-PSK passkey several times b4 I get an IP
[16:57] <ccmonster> my apche web root @ /var/www/folders are all owned by root/root and I wanted to change the ownership. i want to make it so I can manage those folders and be able to move items in there without root permissions.
[16:57] <ccmonster> whats the best route
[16:57] <vsingh165> blind: do you use WPA, WEP, or any other security on your wifi
[16:58] <blind> vsingh165: yes, yes, and yes. i have the same issues. sometimes i have to turn off wireless and then back on before it works again
[16:58] <blind> WPA2
[16:58] <deej1976> ccmonster: chown -R ccmonster:ccmonster /var/www
[16:58] <bjrohan> mxed can I delete the 37GB partition, and add that space to the 58GB partition?
[16:58] <deej1976> ccmonster: sudo of cause
[16:58] <ccmonster> is that advised for my web directory?
[16:58] <ccmonster> or is there a preferred solution
[16:58] <vsingh165> blind: the only thing I ever see in the log files when my connection fails is along the lines of "deauthentication (reason 6)"
[16:59] <deej1976> ccmonster: simply way
[16:59] <vsingh165> blind:  I'm not sure what reason 6 means when it comes to failed authentication
[16:59] <blind> vsingh165: mine's either reason 1 or 3
[16:59] <bjrohan> mxed OR just fix the 37GB partition and use it for storage space?
[16:59] <vsingh165> blind:  maybe it's different for different wireless drivers/cards?
[16:59] <blind> possible.. honestly don't know. it's actually why I'm here right now
[16:59] <mxed> bjrohan, yes i think so, delete the one you dont ned and resize the other
[17:00] <vsingh165> blind:  I wish there was some way to contact the people that code the kernel modules for wifi cards.
[17:00] <vsingh165> maybe they would know
[17:00] <mxed> bjrohan, thats is beter formate that partion with a filsesystem that you like
[17:00] <bhavesh> My Wine installer progress bar is not moving since a long time..
[17:01] <vsingh165> blind:  what module does your card use?
[17:01] <bjrohan> mxed, that is what I was trying to do in the first place, was to grow my original 37 GB part to included 58GB of unallocated space, BUT in Gparted I could not figure how to grow a partition, it only let me resize it
[17:01] <raven> lvm pvcreate - neverending problem "cannot open /dev/sdx#  exclusively.  Mounted filesystem?" any ideas?
[17:01] <blind> vsingh165: b43 - it's a broadcom
[17:01] <vsingh165> blind:  I have fond memories of using ndiswrapper for getting broadcoms to work under Ubuntu lol
[17:02] <blind> vsingh165: funny.. i have memories, but they're not fond :P
[17:02]  * RaTTuS|BIG agress with blind
[17:03] <vsingh165> RaTTus|BIG: have you had similar problems like blind and I have been having
[17:03] <natty7> #archlinux
[17:04] <RaTTuS|BIG> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1878827 M- is what I have
[17:05] <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] <alcoheca> the keyboard layout option "make caps lock toggle shift" doesn't seem to work. a program I'm using which uses wxwidget library doesn't recieve the shift key if I have this option set.
[17:06] <webPragmatist> what's reiserfs typically used for?
[17:06] <luca> filibertobiolca.altervista.org
[17:06] <mxed> bjrohan, i do se you dont store anything at the other partitions is that correct ?
[17:06] <vsingh165> RaTTuS|BIG: I've seen in some bug reports that it may be NetworkManager's fault
[17:06] <luca> what do you think of my website?
[17:07] <RaTTuS|BIG> reiserfs is mostly depreciated now - ext4 is better
[17:07] <MaZ-> anyone able to tell me offhand how important ginn is? (hoping it only matters for things where touchscreen gestures are important)

[17:07] <cih997> hi, in 11.04 in tilda I could move between tabs with SHIFT+LEFT/RIGHT arrow. In 11.10 when I press SHIFT+LEFT ARROW I get 'D' letter :/ Anyone know WTF?
[17:07] <blind> cih997: try ctrl+tab / ctrl+shift+tab ?
[17:08] <cih997> blind: doesn't work :/
[17:08] <cih997> blind: nothing happen
[17:08] <blind> i also get ABCD for shift+arrow keys
[17:08] <blind> that's interesting.
[17:08] <bjrohan> mxed I don't only have about 7GB of used space on any Linux partitions. I have a 500GB USD drive I can back up to, then yes reformat
[17:09] <cih997> blind: i tried modify some layout settings but without success
[17:09] <mxed> bjrohan, you dont need to refomate sda1
[17:09] <mxed> its your windows system right ?
[17:10] <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] <mxed> bjrohan, keep sda1 and delete the oterh ones. and make sda2 as primary sda3 as primary and the rest as extended ones'
[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
[17:11] <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] <bjrohan> My other drives I would back up to are NTFS, does that matter?
[17:12] <bjrohan> mxed My other drives I would back up to are NTFS, does that matter?

[17:13] <|Anthony|> anyone here have a link to a good thorough tutorial on setting up a dual boot win7 and ubuntu
[17:14] <|Anthony|> NOT wubi
[17:14] <sipior> raven: well, i'll ask the obvious :-) is part of the volume mounted elsewhere?
[17:14] <|Anthony|> olderish hardware
[17:14] <RaTTuS|BIG> |Anthony| -  install win7 , install ubuntu - job done
[17:14] <sipior> raven: does lsof find processes holding a device open?
[17:14] <raven> sipior, noooooooooo
[17:14] <|Anthony|> RaTTuS|BIG, no need to setup partitions and a bootloader
[17:15] <raven> wiping with zero possible, changing, erasing, creating partition table possible, formatting/pvcreate IMpossible
[17:15] <bjrohan> mxed okay.  My plan is this, copy my entire Linux partition (7GB in use) to another drive, boot into Live CD, use gparted to reformat all non NTFS area, make 1 Linux and 1 swap partition, reinstall Ubuntu, then copy all files back from NTFS to Ubuntu part?
[17:15] <|Anthony|> and link folders and firefox profiles?
[17:15] <mxed> bjrohan, i backupp my files with dd to an iso  not sure how linux permisions is used on ntfs. maybe it will work good
[17:15] <RaTTuS|BIG> |Anthony| - well yes - use win7 to setup half disk and install on that , then uyse the rest under the ubuntu install - or use a seperate disk
[17:16] <mxed> bjrohan, sounds good
[17:16] <raven> sipior,
[17:16] <|Anthony|> It's a laptop with only 1 hdd.
[17:16] <prophet> help, my unity desktop has disappeared
[17:16] <bjrohan> Gotcha mxed make an iso :-)
[17:17] <RaTTuS|BIG> |Anthony| - if it's fresh then ubuntu can resize the windows partaion for you I think
[17:17] <diotima> |Anthony| ;; what about using an external usb drive?
[17:17] <|Anthony|> nah... bout to sell the laptop to my uncle... he's compute retarded
[17:17] <mxed> bjrohan, and when done then pizza heheh
[17:18] <|Anthony|> i want a simple way for him to pick which os he like best
[17:18] <ccmonster> ok so now that I changed the permissions to me:me in my /var/www folder, when i go to a php file in my browser from my apache dir, it downloads the file, not runs it
[17:18] <diotima> |Anthony|; having ubuntu on a usb drive would be a perfect way to demo it for him
[17:19] <RobinJ> damn damn damn! I accidentially started `sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a` from the terminal! is it safe to press ctrl+c?
[17:20] <|Anthony|> i put ubuntu 11.04 on a 2GB usb... didn't really like the live usb experience

[17:22] <Guest76221> ive been trying to create a liveusb to reinstall ubuntu in 64 bits. but it gets stuck at the boot, and says boot error
[17:22] <RaTTuS|BIG> RobinJ - backup your data to a safe place while you can
[17:22] <sipior> RobinJ: canceling it should be fine. if a package gets broken, just reconfigure it again.
[17:22] <RobinJ> ... the fact that ctrl+c has been blocked sais something
[17:23] <MTecknology> I'm on 11.04, when I run do-release-upgrade it tells me that there's no new releases found.. any ideas why?
[17:23] <diotima> RobinJ, you can use "top" to kill the process
[17:23] <ActionParsnip> Guest76221: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[17:23] <RobinJ> pkill -9'ed it. i hope my system still boots up tomorrow xd
[17:23] <apwbdjp> MTecknology, I think you have the LTS version of 11.04
[17:23] <diotima> RobinJ, then time to back up important files now, just in case
[17:24] <Klojum> there is no LTS 11.04 version...
[17:24] <sipior> gym_jane: you have postfix installed?
[17:24] <RobinJ> diotima: is there a need to do it? i've got everything on a seperate partion
[17:24] <gym_jane> sipior yes
[17:24] <MTecknology> OOH! Sorry... proxy was blocking it
[17:24] <diotima> maybe, depends on how sure and safe you want to be
[17:25] <sipior> gym_jane: and "sudo service postfix start" isn't cutting it?
[17:25] <denny> Can anybody tell me how to configure the auto-raise delay for focus-follows-mouse in Ubuntu 11.10 running the fallback WM/DE?
[17:25] <gym_jane> sipior here http://imageshack.us/f/26/captureals.png/

[17:26] <dichtbijzee> my unity has major problems starting up, where do i find the startup script again. google isn't giving me any good answers...
[17:26] <Guest76221> ActionParsnip yep i just did and it checks out
[17:26] <roler> dnsmasq is used (even when the package is not installed) for internet sharing in ubuntu 11.04. I need to change the command line that is ran to start this program. The problem is, I don't know where this command line is coming from!
[17:26] <sipior> gym_jane: what is the result of "service postfix restart"?
[17:27] <gym_jane> no errors nothing
[17:27] <gym_jane> looks like it goes through
[17:27] <ActionParsnip> Guest76221: cool, please check before in future. Ok, how did you create the USB device?
[17:27] <gym_jane> but when i do sudo mailq -f
[17:27] <gym_jane> same error
[17:27] <sipior> gym_jane: nothing at all? that's not right.
[17:27] <gym_jane> let me do it and show you a screen shot
[17:28] <Guest76221> using the startup disk creator
[17:28] <Olson_> anyone tried playing Baldur's gate 2 through Wine?
[17:28] <RaTTuS|BIG> gym_jane - use pastebinit
[17:28] <sipior> gym_jane: yes, pastebin is rather easier :-)
[17:28] <gym_jane> yeh gawd i am so frustrated, why didnt i think o fthat :(
[17:28] <Guest76221> ActionParsnip i used the startup disk creator
[17:29] <gym_jane> http://pastebin.com/eMeFBcc7 here
[17:29] <ccmonster> what should be the owner of /var/www?
[17:29] <ccmonster> its root right now, but I think its probably by default suppose to be something else
[17:29] <linda> ... emm did they forget to install Openvpn in Ubuntu? Yeah I just picked it up with apt ...
[17:30] <sipior> gym_jane: (you can drop the "sudo" if you are already at a root prompt, btw :-)
[17:30] <Olson_> anyone good with Wine?
[17:30] <linda> Olson_, what do you need to know?
[17:31] <ActionParsnip> Guest76221: try unetbotin, may help. It's in the repos
[17:31] <Olson_> hi linda. Im having trouble with Baldur's Gate 2 starting up
[17:31] <sipior> gym_jane: is a qmgr process now running?
[17:31] <linda> Olson_, have you looked in wineHQ? If you dont find anything there then look on the site unixmen.
[17:32] <Olson_> thanks linda :)
[17:32] <Olson_> i'll take a look
[17:32] <linda> Olson_, btw PlayOnLinux is wine but makes things a lot cleaner to install when it comes to games.
[17:32] <Olson_> linda, thanks. i'm pretty new to ubuntu
[17:33] <diotima> Baldur's gate 2 being a win95 game, old win95 games were often not purely windows-programming but had dos code included in them too
[17:33] <gym_jane> sipior how can i check?
[17:33] <sipior> gym_jane: "ps aux | grep -i qmgr". also "ps aux | grep -i postfix"
[17:33] <ccmonster> i cannot seem to execute any effing php scripts now.
[17:34] <gym_jane> grep: aux: No such file or directory
[17:34] <ccmonster> how do I debug this
[17:34] <gym_jane> duh
[17:34] <gym_jane> wait wrong command
[17:34] <sipior> gym_jane: another thing: i don't know exactly how you got to this point, but you might find the following guide extremely helpful, if you haven't seen it already: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix
[17:34] <gym_jane> [root@ip-10-120-67-75 ec2-user]# ps aux | grep -i qmgr
[17:34] <sipior> gym_jane: it's fairly comprehensive.

[17:35] <gym_jane> [root@ip-10-120-67-75 ec2-user]# ps aux | grep -i postfix
[17:35] <gym_jane> root     28017  0.0  0.4  78592  3036 ?        Ss   17:32   0:00 /usr/libexec/postfix/master
[17:35] <gym_jane> root     28135  0.0  0.1 103268   860 pts/0    S+   17:35   0:00 grep -i postfix
[17:36] <gym_jane> what does /usr/libexec/postfix/master do?
[17:36] <gym_jane> is that the master.cs?
[17:36] <gym_jane> master.cf*
[17:37] <corretico_> somebody knows about GRE tunnels between Cisco and Linux?
[17:37] <ssta> it's the master process.  It's the one that spawn postfix instances on demand
[17:37] <sipior> gym_jane: "man 8 master" should give some further information..

[17:38] <Linuxlainen> hi all, I'm trying to get my IR remote control with ubuntu 11.04 box. few of the button do work but not the rest
[17:38] <wildc4rd> good evening all
[17:38] <ActionParsnip> binni: or install guake then you can hide or show terminal with a shortcut key
[17:38] <ActionParsnip> !shortcut | Linuxlainen
[17:38] <Linuxlainen> irw command for some reason gives nothing for most keys and only @^
[17:39] <sipior> gym_jane: if you haven't already, i'd say go back and follow along that guide i posted earlier. if nothing else, it would serve as a useful checklist for things you might have missed.
[17:39] <binni> ActionParsnip: I mean open a gnome-terminal window that doesn't have metacity or whatever ubuntu uses around it
[17:39] <zmall88> i had a question about partitions when installing ubuntu: if I designate the installer to use a partition, does it just mean it will show up in ubuntu and not necessarily format/install on that partition? i ask because it seems i can designate multiple partitions to be "used"
[17:39] <Linuxlainen> ActionParsnip: the problem is not here
[17:40] <panfist> i'm sharing an ext4 fs via samba to an ubuntu client, and on the client i'd like to create a symlink on that share that points to another file on that share,
[17:40] <panfist> but it says that the target doesn't support symlinks
[17:40] <Linuxlainen> ActionParsnip: my trouble is with irw and irrecord command
[17:40] <Linuxlainen> as they don't work
[17:40] <zmall88> any help please?
[17:41] <zmall88> i had a question about partitions when installing ubuntu: if I designate the installer to use a partition, does it just mean it will show up in ubuntu and not necessarily format/install on that partition? i ask because it seems i can designate multiple partitions to be "used"
[17:41] <Linuxlainen> I tried to run this command: irrecord --driver=irman --device=/dev/ttyS0 MyRemote
[17:41] <Linuxlainen> but end up with the following error
[17:41] <Linuxlainen> irrecord: could not init hardware (lircd running ? --> close it, check permissions)
[17:42] <Linuxlainen> even though the remote is working for some keys and the command was run with sudo
[17:42] <ssta> panfist: why share via samba if both systems are ubuntu?  Samba is (largely) CIFS based...it doesn't know about symlinks.  nfs maybe better?  or sshfs?
[17:42] <Linuxlainen> any idea why am I doing wrong?
[17:42] <panfist> ssta: there are other windows clients on the networks that i need to support but i'm trying to do this on a linux client
[17:43] <panfist> ssta: or do you think it would be better to share the same dir two different ways to specialize for linux clients and windows clients
[17:44] <Linuxlainen> please help
[17:44] <dichtbijzee> my unity has major problems starting up, where do i find the startup script again. google isn't giving me any good answers...
[17:44] <truepurple> Can anyone help me fix indexing on mkv files please? A simple google search will not do it, most of the results are for avi only, or don't work.
[17:44] <ssta> panfist: either way, you can't do symlinks over smb/cifs.  If you want symlinks then you need to share in some other way.
[17:45] <raven> lvm pvcreate - neverending problem "cannot open /dev/sdx#  exclusively.  Mounted filesystem?" any ideas?
[17:45] <zmall88> What is a mount point in the context of partitions?
[17:45] <bytesaber_work>  /dev/blonde
[17:45] <panfist> ssta: so samba supports the ability to follow symlinks but not create them, even if the filesystem being shared supports symlinks?
[17:47] <ssta> panfist: samba doesn't know it's a symlink...it sees a file.
[17:47] <Guest35280> hello all together, I'm new to linux and now i have a problem. I use Ubuntu 11.10 x64. I updated it from 11.04 a while ago. I installed Gnome 3. Yesterday i installed some updates requiring a restart. After this restart, the machine was not able to power down, it restarted instead. I switched off the machine in the BIOS. Today I have the system running in the terminal but I don't know how to fix the
[17:47] <ssta> well, that's a bit simplistic, but close enough
[17:47] <Guest35280> problem to get the GUI back. Thanks in advance.
[17:47] <ssta> panfist: basically the guest doesn't know it's a symlink
[17:47] <rhizmoe> i'm getting some very weird alt-tab behavior. now it's not working at all sometimes.
[17:48] <panfist> ssta: then what do you mean by "can't do"...if a symlink is just a file why can't i write a file that's a symlink. sorry if this is a basic question or ot
[17:48] <rhizmoe> the alt-tab switcher pops up, but the chosen app is not brought to the foreground
[17:49] <ssta> panfist: a symlink is not just a file.  It's a feature of the fileystem.  smb as a filesystem doesn't support it
[17:49] <rhizmoe> Guest35280: does sudo shutdown -P work?
[17:51] <Guest35280> rhizmoe:i did a shutdown -h and that worked but i couldn't pause the machine in gnome shell
[17:52] <surjendu> hi
[17:53] <surjendu> can u all here me?
[17:53] <panfist> ssta i think i understand but one thing that confuses me is the nix concept that "everything is a file", so what makes symlinks special
[17:53] <wildc4rd> is there any reason why I am having trouble playing streamed flash style video (jumpy/low frame rate) since changing to 11.10?
[17:55] <marsfligth> Please, do you know an equivalent for *'autotrash'*? On my Ubutu 10.10 64bit don't work (autotrash: purges files from your trash based on age and/or filename) https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/autotrash
[17:55] <toki> hi I have problems with Nvidia drivers and twinview
[17:55] <raven> lvm pvcreate - neverending problem "cannot open /dev/sdx#  exclusively.  Mounted filesystem?" any ideas?
[17:55] <truepurple> Can anyone help me fix indexing on mkv files please? A simple google search will not do it, most of the results are for avi only, or don't work.
[17:55] <surjendu> he? raven
[17:56] <milen8204> How can I connect Internet whit my PC trough GSM ?
[17:56] <ssta> panfist: a "file" in unix has two parts.  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] <jaequery> hi guys
[17:56] <jaequery> anyone here tried, mint? how does it compare to ubuntu? good or bad?
[17:57] <toki> Unable to load X Server Display Configuration page:
[17:57] <panfist> ssta: thank you for taking the time to explain
[17:57] <marsfligth> Please, do you know an equivalent for *'autotrash'*? (AutoTrash: Automatically purge GNOME trash) http://www.logfish.net/pr/autotrash/
[17:57] <blind> jaequery: it's nice, but not as polished imo
[17:58] <jaequery> does it use apt?
[17:58] <blind> yes
[17:58] <Baribal> Hi. I've updated my system a few hours ago. I just rebooted the computer and can't log in. According to /var/log/gdm/:1-greeter.log DBuS isn't working (says gnome-power-manager), which is maybe why I get lines like "Window manager warning: meta_window_active called by a pager with a 0 timestamp". Bottom line: I can't log in via gdm. What can I do to fix that?
[18:00] <Ellipsis_> After an getting an Ubuntu update, Ubuntu has because unbootible. Luckily I duel boot Gentoo and Ubuntu and am on Gentoo at the moment but I was wondering if someone could help me get Ubuntu to boot again? It boots a little but then freezes part way though booting and never finishes. I cannot use Ctl+Alt+f2 to get to a shell. What can I do?
[18:00] <wildc4rd> is there any reason why I am having trouble playing streamed flash style video (jumpy/low frame rate) since changing to 11.10?
[18:00] <dougl> ubuntu sox
[18:00] <gym_jane> can any one setup postfix on a server for me?
[18:00] <gym_jane> I will pay
[18:00] <dougl> err... ubuntu rox?
[18:02] <raven> lvm pvcreate - neverending problem "cannot open /dev/sdx#  exclusively.  Mounted filesystem?" any ideas?
[18:02] <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
[18:03] <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
[18:04] <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?
[18:05] <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
[18:06] <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
[18:07] <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?
[18:08] <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.
[18:09] <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?
[18:10] <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?
[18:11] <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
[18:12] <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.
[18:13] <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...
[18:14] <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.
[18:15] <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?
[18:16] <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] <ssta> bjrohan: resize2fs
[18:16] <dcherniv> Linuxlainen, lsusb
[18:17] <Linuxlainen> it is not listed there
[18:17] <k3n> Don't all ubuntu users have free cloud space?
[18:17] <alabala> hey boys, how to install pppoe ?
[18:17] <Gentoo64> bjrohan: whats the problem?
[18:17] <Linuxlainen> I get only these from tehre
[18:17] <dcherniv> Linuxlainen, disconnect/connect it while running dmesg
[18:18] <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/
[18:19] <Gentoo64> Archangels2: but ls is affected by the terminals color scheme

[18:19] <Linuxlainen> dcherniv: any specific parameter to add for this to work?
[18:19] <Gentoo64> bjrohan: gparted is easy to use, just delete the partition and drag the slider to extend it
[18:20] <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
[18:20] <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
[18:20] <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
[18:21] <bjrohan> ssta did you look at the links? What should I do with the 37GB part, is there a way to "unformat"?

[18:21] <Gentoo64> :)
[18:21] <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.
[18:21] <Gentoo64> trinimoses: not sure if the "minimal" one is a net install or not
[18:22] <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] <trinimoses> thank gent00
[18:22] <urlin2u> sap=swap  bjrohan
[18:22] <alabala>  how to install pppoe ? on ubuntu 11.10 ? any idea
[18:23] <ssta> alabala: apt-get install pppoe ?
[18:23] <bjrohan> urlin2u, do this from live cd?
[18:24] <alabala> i don't download pppoe package (3.8)
[18:26] <urlin2u> bjblaz, live cd yes
[18:27] <NoReGreT> seriously, wth is wrong with battery reading in 11.10? battery is 80% and system saw it otherwise...
[18:27] <urlin2u> NoReGreT, how fresh is the 11.10
[18:27] <riffautae> NoReGreT: the battery level reader has to calibrate by watching several cycles
[18:28] <Elliot05> Hello
[18:29] <Elliot05> Jii
[18:29] <denny> Can anybody tell me how to configure the auto-raise delay for focus-follows-mouse in Ubuntu 11.10 running the fallback WM/DE?
[18:29] <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.
[18:32] <moo-> hey you motherfuckers
[18:32] <urlin2u> katurio, that is really confusing can you state that more clearly. Is is you want to recover a broken partition?
[18:32] <moo-> why didnt you put firefox 8 in ubuntu?
[18:32] <emocan> ehuehe
[18:33] <katurio> but it is not formatted
[18:33]  * T3CHKOMMIE really needs some help with quickly. anyone got some time?
[18:34] <NoReGreT> urlin2u: fresh?
[18:34] <NoReGreT> riffautae: i see, how many cycles are those?
[18:35] <riffautae> NoReGreT: hm?
[18:35] <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.
[18:36] <urlin2u> ezrafree, you have only one OS it is part of the design tap shift if you want to se it.
[18:36] <hercules59> hi all
[18:37] <hercules59> anybody there?
[18:37] <urlin2u> ezrafree, sorry I read that wrong nevermind
[18:37] <katurio> so that part is dead?
[18:37] <urlin2u> ezrafree, you click in the star and see no gnome?
[18:38] <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> moo-, add the repo if needed.
[18:38] <urlin2u> http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Install-Firefox-8-in-Ubuntu-10-04-and-10-10-232859.shtml
[18:40] <freegeek> hey
[18:40] <NoReGreT> urlin2u: 3 days aren't enough ?
[18:41] <NX-serveruser> Is it by any chance possible to use an "NX server" to use a remote desktop (Like VNC) without people physically there being able to "just watch the monitor"?
[18:41] <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 .
[18:42] <urlin2u> NoReGreT, if you go full OCD on it you will just get frustrated really. :D
[18:43] <hercules59> hi

[18:48] <hercules59> can i help u?
[18:48] <newguy> urlin2u does it have to be usb
[18:49] <truepurple> Anyone on who knows about mplayer?

[18:50] <hercules59> truepurple: what the problem in mplayer?
[18:50] <tamer> ?
[18:50] <urlin2u> newguy, hmm I have a usb and just have to set the settings-usb to read it nopt sure with a internal I haven't been in that situation.
[18:50] <mieso-miszcz> is irssi best irc client for bash?
[18:51] <newguy> how do you mount a usb dvd in a vertual box
[18:51] <urlin2u> abhishek, not very often and I doubt you would get much from them it is like a surgeon trying to teach a styudent technique it is the cart before the horse basically.

[18:52] <mieso-miszcz> sb from Poland?
[18:53] <urlin2u> newguy, in settings
[18:53] <rypervenche> mieso-miszcz: I use weechat as my IRC client. I think it's prettier and easier to configure.
[18:53] <mieso-miszcz> ill try
[18:53] <urlin2u> newguy, you click on the green plus sign to see the usb devices.
[18:53] <mieso-miszcz> thank you :)
[18:54] <newguy> it shows it checked in setting on the boot but i still dont see it in the list of usb devices urlin2u
[18:54] <newguy> maybe it has to be pluged in during the boot
[18:54] <bekks> No.
[18:54] <Squidy>  I'm trying to use Ubuntu Customization Kit (UCK) GUI in Kubuntu.. but it's not working.. When I try to open UCK I see the Welcom window but after clicking the OK buttom the program closes...
[18:55] <newguy> or would that matter
[18:55] <bekks> newguy: What exactly do you want to do with the usb device? Booting up your vbox guest?
[18:55] <Squidy> I'm getting this message: QPixmap::handle(): Pixmap is not an X11 class pixmap
[18:55] <Squidy> May you help me?
[18:55] <urlin2u> newguy, does it work on the regular OS and what is that OS in other words do you know if that usb dvd will work in ubuntu
[18:56] <newguy> no i want to use the burner programs in ubuntu but its not mounting the dvd rom
[18:56] <bekks> newguy: So Ubuntu is the vbox guest, and you have a USB dvd rom?
[18:56] <olotila> hello
[18:56] <newguy> ya
[18:57] <bekks> newguy: Is your user running vbox a member of the vbox users group?
[18:57] <newguy> what does that mean
[18:59] <newguy> i just know that im running ubuntu in a vbox and when it loads the dvd rom internel or external never show up and i cant select it from the usb devices because its not listed and i would like to know why?
[18:59] <bekks> newguy: There are user groups on your system - and one of them is called "vboxuser" and your user running vbox has to be a member of it. Just run the following command - if it returns a line containing your username, thats fine -: grep vboxuser /etc/group
[18:59] <blind> okay, so my wireless cutting in and out is actually my harddrive remounting itself. from dmesg: EXT4-fs (sda1): re-mounted. Opts: errors=remount-ro,user_xattr  - how can i find out more information and stop this?
[19:00] <newguy> where in terminal?
[19:00] <bekks> newguy: yes.
[19:01] <Corey> j #freenode-christmas
[19:01] <blind> hi bekks, you helped me yesterday. after the reboot it took quite some time to act up again, but i think i narrowed it down..
[19:01] <Corey> ER, disregard.
[19:02] <bobweaver> newguy:  you have also install "guest-additions" under devices  in virtual-box ?
[19:02] <marw> hello. is it true that tomboy will not be in the next version of ubuntu? have you got any links confirming that? thanks!
[19:02] <bekks> bobweaver: You dont need the guest additions for using USB, but you need the extension pack to be installed on the host.
[19:03] <bobweaver> bekks:  can you explian more ? so you re saying that you need extension pack what is this ?   thanks :>)
[19:04] <bekks> bobweaver: https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch01.html#intro-installing
[19:04] <urlin2u> bobweaver, part of several builds not now I believe
[19:05] <mkanyicy> i cannot change the mode of my wifi device to 'ad-hoc', please help
[19:05] <bobweaver> bekks:  Sweet thanks urlin2u thanks also ! you two Rock
[19:05] <kelvin0000> hi, there
[19:06] <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
[19:07] <bobweaver>   #slax    ?
[19:08] <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/
[19:09] <urlin2u> Folklore, a true power user will know how to manipulate the DE.
[19:10] <urlin2u> Folklore, the posers are not power users by definition.
[19:11] <blind> urlin2u: regardless, he has a point.
[19:11] <bobweaver> I have a question about the program" quickly " are there any power users here that use it ?
[19:11] <rycho> hi
[19:11] <urlin2u> blind, not really there is no true data the just opinions.
[19:11] <mrdeb> hi rycho
[19:11] <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. IMHO Canonical has a choice, they can ignore their users and do what they want, and watch they defect, or they can listen to them and work on giving them what they want
[19:11] <mrdeb> folklore, unity is good
[19:12] <bazhang> !ot | Folklore
[19:12] <mrdeb> do u thin when ppl thought world was flat they were right?
[19:12] <mrdeb> most did but no
[19:12] <blind> urlin2u: there's no true data of people leaving ubuntu for mint? lol
[19:12] <bobweaver> +1 mrdeb
[19:12] <ssta> I stuck with 10.10...11.04 and 11.10 have trouble driving enough monitors on my systems (probably the nvidia driver's fault)...no worries, I can wait
[19:12] <Folklore> mrdeb there was no market in that, there's a market in Ubuntu
[19:12] <blind> there's no true data for people not liking unity?
[19:12] <Folklore> consumers to please
[19:12] <mrdeb> what
[19:12] <mrdeb> world is round not flat
[19:13] <ssta> mrdeb: are you sure? :P
[19:13] <bazhang> lets move this to #ubuntu-offtopic
[19:13] <Folklore> blind i'm sure theres plenty of data out there
[19:13] <mrdeb> no but the books say it
[19:13] <mrdeb> ok
[19:13] <urlin2u> Folklore, you using phrases like "so many users" which is not provable, you using information you see as a confirmation of your own bias psychologists call it confirmation bias.
[19:13] <samuel> hello guys
[19:13] <bobweaver> future is here now phones need to cary all os for all docking purposes
[19:13] <Folklore> "I dearly want to love Ubuntu on the desktop, but after 9.10 they switched to Unity and it makes me sick to my stomach to use that crap interface. Gnome 2 was rock solid and a very functional interface. I might look at Ubuntu again once they solve all the problems with Unity, or Gnome3 is fully usable."
[19:14] <Folklore> just google, it's no secret unity has upset many
[19:14] <bazhang> Folklore, please move it to the appropriate channel, this is not the one
[19:14] <mrdeb> folklore please talk in offtopic
[19:14] <urlin2u> Folklore, even if true who cares anyway really, I know canonical does not care.
[19:14] <Folklore> bazhang i'm done now, I apologize for being offtopic
[19:15] <blind_> okay guys, i'd really like some help with my intermittent wifi connection now
[19:15] <mkanyicy> i cannot change the mode of my wifi device to 'ad-hoc', please help
[19:15] <korokos> guys
[19:15] <korokos> firefox 8 is out
[19:15] <blind_> this time was different from all the others though, dmesg kept repeating: MAC suspend failed
[19:15] <korokos> how can i upgrade?
[19:15] <bobweaver> korokos:  aurora ?
[19:16] <blind_> firefox 9 is aurora i thought?
[19:16] <korokos> should i use stable ppa channel or daily
[19:16] <samuel> I put a { for i in list do $s="$s $i" done } in a bash script, but it seems to think that $i is a command to execute, anyone know why this might be?
[19:16] <marw> urlin2u: but that piece of news does not say anything about who said than mono was to be excluded, and i found no other confirmaiton
[19:16] <blind_> for i in list; do $s="$s $i"; done     is how i would write it
[19:17] <bekks> blind_: Thats how it would work ;)
[19:17] <mkanyicy> samuel,  s="$s $i" not $s="$s $i"
[19:18] <urlin2u> marw, I just looked for something on your topic you can do the same I don't think the answers are on the support channel.
[19:18] <samuel> mkanyicy, thanks very much... i feel a little silly now........
[19:18] <marw> urlin2u: oh, i did.
[19:19] <mkanyicy> no prob, samuel, also remember using those braces {} you need to put the colon at the end of done
[19:19] <mkanyicy> samuel, i mean a semi-colon
[19:19] <mrdeb> how will lts be different from 1110
[19:19] <blind> Would very much like some help.. wireless keeps cutting out, I can only assume because /dev/sda1 (where / is) is remounting itself. At that point, my wireless says it's connected, but no internet connection, I have to turn wireless off/on for it to work.
[19:19] <kaddi>  hi, i just upgraded flashplugin in 64bit 11.04 through the offered updates and now i have no more sound in flash. How to fix?
[19:20] <samuel> mkanyicy, thanks... the braces I just put in to differentiate it from the text I was writing, not the actual code though
[19:20] <urlin2u> marw, your missing the point several actually first it is off topic to continue this second all that stuff will be in repos, and third who cares. :D
[19:20] <mkanyicy> samuel, ok forget what i said anyway :)
[19:20] <samuel> mkanyicy, no, i am actually looking it up right now, its useful information, thanks!
[19:21] <mkanyicy> samuel, if you say { echo 2 } it is not gonna work, but { echo 2; } will work
[19:21] <bobweaver> I have a script that uses lsof to grab flash that is left in browser I want to save like this ./script  -dest ~/Videos/$(date %Y %m/%d %H:%m)   but this does not work so I want it to save like this    2011 11/11 2:21        is this possible ?
[19:22] <mkanyicy> samuel, thats what i meant by a semicolon
[19:22] <samuel> mkanyicy, ah, yes. thanks. since you need to exit out no?
[19:22] <urlin2u> marw
[19:22] <mkanyicy> samuel, its mandatory for bash code inside {} but not the bash code inside ()
[19:23] <Industrial> I am using Compiz on Ubuntu2d instead of metacity. How do I disable the keybindings for the left bar? windows key and windowskey + 1 / 2 / 3 / t / s ?
[19:23] <samuel> mkanyicy, thanks im still just learning how to bash!
[19:23] <mkanyicy> samuel, me too
[19:24] <ssta> bobweaver: $(date +"%Y %m/%d %H:%m")
[19:24] <|Anthony|> what bootloader does 11.10 use?
[19:24] <mkanyicy> |Anthony|, grub 2
[19:24] <|Anthony|> ty
[19:25] <|Anthony|> i can customize it too look nicer than ncurses right?
[19:25] <|Anthony|> for a dual boot
[19:25] <|Anthony|> i should mention
[19:25] <mkanyicy> |Anthony|, yes
[19:26] <|Anthony|> good
[19:26] <mrdeb> does nvidia user xrandr for changing monitor
[19:26] <mrdeb> ?
[19:27] <brohan> HELP! I resized my partitions, and now when I reboot I get put into Grub Rescue, how do I fix this? In live CD now. I can mount the partition that I resized and made bigger
[19:28] <klj613> where should i manually install programs?
[19:28] <urlin2u> !grub | brohan
[19:28] <klj613> the fiels itself
[19:28] <klj613> files*
[19:28] <brohan> urlin2u are you still on here?
[19:28] <urlin2u> brohan, yes
[19:29] <brohan> urlin2u, any suggestions. I sorted my partitions out just fine in gparted from live CD, but on reboot, ,I get a grub rescue command. I am now in Live CD again. i can mount my Linux partition just fine in the HDD, how do I fix grub?
[19:29] <urlin2u> brohan, you using the same cd as the install?
[19:29] <brohan> urlin2u, yes Ubuntu 11.10
[19:30] <damianfrancis> I would like to remove Ubuntu One for good but using Remove from the Software Center does not work
[19:30] <damianfrancis> how can I do it
[19:31] <urlin2u> brohan, cool I figured this wh=ould happen the sda5 actually had te grub boot since the sda3 your using now was a copy hehe it happens follow this wiki for installing form the live cd read carefully. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Copy_LiveCD_Files
[19:33] <brohan> urlin2u, thanks, have that site up on another computer to read while doing it
[19:34] <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.
[19:35] <brohan> urlin2u doing the steps outlined, will that install grub2 to the MBR?
[19:36] <raptor67782> hello world
[19:37] <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] <umutuygar> hi guys! I'm trying to figure out how glade 3 works. In gtk3 documentation there is a GtkTable widget, but I can't find it in glade. Any ideas?
[19:37] <blind> Running 11.10 wireless keeps cutting out, I can only assume because /dev/sda1 (where / is) is remounting itself. At that point, my wireless says it's connected, but no internet connection, I have to turn wireless off/on for it to work.. dmesg: http://pastebin.com/cRiAXAcT
[19:37] <brohan> urlin2u, yep, read the lines for Natty and newer, and using that one
[19:38] <urlin2u> brohan, cool many miss that although the one above works generally.
[19:38] <brohan> urlin2u, when it says reboot, then refresh grub2 menu, do you reboot into live cd, or ubuntu on hdd?
[19:39] <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
[19:40] <rhizmoe> (hence my complaint just now)
[19:40] <clarkthehardy910> ubuntu sound recorder and gtalk plugin chromium/firefox are not picking up my internal mic, skype is really bad quality, but I can hear through the speakers when I blow into it
[19:40] <brohan> urlin2u One last thing before I pull the trigger, my Ubuntu part is sda3 in the line I am about to execute I have this:
[19:40] <brohan> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt
[19:40] <brohan> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt /dev/sda3
[19:40] <clarkthehardy910> any ideas what I need to do?
[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 ?
[19:41] <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.
[19:42] <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 :-)
[19:43] <inz> claushetzer, is your libglib2.0-0 up to date?
[19:43] <inz> oops, he left already
[19:43] <urlin2u> brohan, no problem if this does not work it should there are two other methods below this one on the same page.
[19:43] <brohan> urlin2u, when I executed that command gave error message and as options says to use root-directory, not boot-directory odd
[19:43] <sammy> anyon eusing psad?

[19:45] <clarkthehardy910> hardy heron
[19:45] <linxeh> A2Sheds: .bashprofile ?
[19:45] <sammy> Bushman: security updates, I'd guess. in which case, your beef is with adobe.
[19:45] <linxeh> A2Sheds: .bash_profile even

[19:46] <Bushman> sammy: security? there was a fire-fox stuff on the top of the list for heaven sake!
[19:46] <adi11> and than after some time trying it fails
[19:46] <oCean> clarkthehardy910: 8.04 desktop is no longer supported
[19:46] <adi11> anyone any idea?
[19:46] <Bushman> how can a security update reduce a video performance?!
[19:47] <bekks> adi11: sounds like a hardware issue.
[19:47] <adi11> is this the hdd issue
[19:47] <rhizmoe> clarkthehardy910: hardy? really?
[19:47] <bekks> Bushman: because adobe placed a security update for flash.
[19:47] <cliff-hm> most likely - yes - adi11
[19:47] <clarkthehardy910> its a netbook
[19:47] <Bushman> ok....
[19:47] <clarkthehardy910> and I'm traveling
[19:47] <madbro> hi everyone
[19:48] <rhizmoe> clarkthehardy910: kinda irrelevant
[19:48] <madbro> does anyone know
[19:48] <adi11> it hang my os every time
[19:48] <madbro> how long does it take to format a dvd+rw?
[19:48] <Bushman> then why does the video performance droped for TOTEM (some time ago) too after update?!
[19:48] <oCean> clarkthehardy910: I mean the "desktop version". Support ended may 2011. Only server edition is supported 5 years
[19:48] <rhizmoe> madbro: probably a while
[19:48] <ActionParsnip> clarkthehardy910: you can upgrade to lucid in one jump :-)
[19:48] <rhizmoe> 30min? maybe more maybe less
[19:48] <adi11> cliff-hm: do you thing is a hardware issue or partition issue inside this hdd
[19:48] <Bushman> seriously, why the things get to work worse insted of better after those updates?
[19:48] <clarkthehardy910> rhizmoe: well I'm just too busy to back up all my files and upgrade with the usb
[19:48] <madbro> I have left the process to run for 24 hours now
[19:48] <adi11> i am dualbooting with win7
[19:49] <urlin2u> brohan, you had that command wrong I missed it you left out the second boot command ,  Copy and paste is easiest        sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/boot /dev/sdX
[19:49] <madbro> and I am very sceptical
[19:49] <clarkthehardy910> its only got 200 MB of free space left
[19:49] <rhizmoe> clarkthehardy910: i understand, but your mic doesn't care
[19:49] <ActionParsnip> clarkthehardy910: why do you not have a regular backup?
[19:49] <_0xFF_> Hello all
[19:49] <rhizmoe> madbro: that seems like a long time. is the drive doing anything?
[19:49] <brontosaurusrex> madbro, id say 10 minutes max
[19:50] <madbro> the drive is working for the first 10 minutes
[19:50] <Lobosque> I'd like to take a look at ubuntu's terminal source code. how do I do that?
[19:50] <ActionParsnip> clarkthehardy910: removing old unused kernels frees lots of space
[19:50] <clarkthehardy910> ActionParsnip: I guess because I have a hectic lifestyle and not enough SD cards
[19:50] <madbro> then the counter of progress resets many times in my software
[19:50] <Bushman> how do i undo the today's update?
[19:50] <Lobosque> to be more specific, the parser.
[19:50] <Bushman> i want my video playback back to normal
[19:50] <urlin2u> brohan, you had in your post  sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt /dev/sda3  it should be sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/boot /dev/sda
[19:50] <adi11> now on kernel log file  i can see this: ata5: SRST failed (errno=-16)  ata5: reset failed, giving up
[19:50] <rhizmoe> Lobosque: http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=gnome-terminal+source
[19:50] <clarkthehardy910> ActionParsnip: removing kernels? you mean apt-get clean?
[19:51] <ActionParsnip> clarkthehardy910: if the drive fails or you loose the system you will wish you had a backup
[19:51] <ezrafree> can anyone tell me why i would see "1.0" over and over again in my .xsession-errors file?
[19:51] <glioros> how to copy a directory to another directory ?
[19:51] <glioros> mv directory directory ?
[19:51] <urlin2u> brohan, sorry left out the partition numberer in the last post
[19:51] <rhizmoe> cp dir parent_dir

[19:51] <ezrafree> glioros: cp -Rvax dir otherdir
[19:52] <Bushman> glioros: directory as whole or only the vontent?
[19:52] <Bushman> *content
[19:52] <_0xFF_> Can somebody tell me how to lower the crit value?
[19:52] <ActionParsnip> clarkthehardy910: dpkg -l | grep linux-image-2       shows the installed kernels
[19:52] <cliff-hm> not certain, typically I'd try fysking the drives and/or cracking open hardware to reset cables and/or swapping OS to see if any other errors reported in different OS.
[19:52] <Bushman> glioros: if only the content the cp -r dir/* new_dir
[19:52] <clarkthehardy910> ActionParsnip: so if this computer came with 8.04 and I've never upgraded or changed it, then it only has one kernel
[19:52] <ActionParsnip> clarkthehardy910: you can remove any i

[19:54] <NX-serveruser> Is it by any chance possible to use an "NX server" to use a remote desktop (Like VNC) without people physically there being able to "just watch the monitor"?
[19:54] <_0xFF_> My laptop powers off at +90C
[19:54] <denny> Can anybody tell me how to configure the auto-raise delay for focus-follows-mouse in Ubuntu 11.10 running the fallback WM/DE?
[19:54] <glioros> Bushman content
[19:55] <NX-serveruser> I want to use my computer from somewhere else, and no one can see what happens on my monitor.
[19:55] <urlin2u> brohan, haold on all the questions are out side of my general areas of help no sda1 look aththe commands the first has the partition number it would be 3 the second one has no partition number just sda copy and paste them and backspace the X and put the correct partition letter number in the first and just the letter in the second.
[19:56] <ccmonster> ok so now that I changed the permissions to me:me in my /var/www folder, when i go to a php file in my browser from my apache dir, it downloads the file, not runs it
[19:56] <Linuksakias> vnc usually refuses to start if X is not up...
[19:56] <zmbmartin> Anyone that can help me get my boot splash working with fglrx?
[19:57] <denny> ccmonster: are you opening http://.../file.php or file://.../file.php ?
[19:57] <blind> Running 11.10 and my wireless keeps cutting out, I can only assume because /dev/sda1 (where / is) is remounting itself. At that point, my wireless says it's connected, but no internet connection, I have to turn wireless off/on for it to work.. dmesg: http://pastebin.com/cRiAXAcT
[19:58] <rhizmoe> oh good, Xorg is taking up 60% cpu again
[19:58] <denny> blind: wow, that's special.
[19:58] <urlin2u> brohan, does that make sense the first set you posted had the second command missing part of the correct caommand and a partion numer that the instructions do not show.
[19:58] <blind> tell me about it.
[19:58] <denny> rhizmoe: mine eats 100% quite regularly.  Glad I have multiple cores these days.
[19:58] <rhizmoe> it's ridiculous
[19:58] <JeanValjean> I'm upgrading my ubuntu kernel. So I ran git clone git://kernel.ubuntu/ubuntu/ubunto-orneric.git. I have download . Terminal is  showing resolving deltas 100%  for about  10 minutes. Is it normal?
[19:58] <ezrafree> why would i see "1.0" over and over again in my .xsession-errors log?
[19:58] <fscannav> hi, someone is using ubuntu 64 bit? how much memory used your system?
[19:58] <rhizmoe> i'm sure nvidia is to blame for at least some of it
[19:59] <rhizmoe> JeanValjean: "ubunto?"
[19:59] <denny> fscannav: about 150MB at the minute
[19:59] <urlin2u> blind, assuming that does not make sense
[19:59] <JeanValjean> rhizmoe: ubuntu
[19:59] <Bushman> aparently adobe is trying to tell me my laptop is to old ;/
[19:59] <denny> oops, no
[19:59] <fscannav> only 150MB?
[19:59] <denny> fscannav: sorry, no  :)  1.5GB
[20:00] <blind> urlin2u: well, everytime my internet stops working, i run a dmesg, and see that /dev/sda1 is recently remounted.. so it's the only thing that makes sense to me. maybe you can shed some light on the situation?
[20:00] <denny> mis-counted the digits in the output from free  :)
[20:00] <fscannav> ahh ok...it is a lot don't you think?
[20:00] <denny> fscannav: *shrug*  I have 6GB, I'm not too worried
[20:00] <urlin2u> blind, not any light but the partition your running if unmounted would crash.
[20:00] <rhizmoe> is there something to be done to speed up HD scans when opening my home folder (for instance)
[20:00] <blind> it's not unmounted.
[20:00] <blind> it's remounting
[20:00] <JeanValjean> rhizmoe: Do u know if is it normal?
[20:01] <fscannav> I have 8 GB but....
[20:01] <denny> is it remounting read-only?
[20:01] <rhizmoe> i get the pink pane for 10-15 secs
[20:01] <rhizmoe> JeanValjean: cancel it and try again
[20:01] <madbro> guys
[20:01] <rhizmoe> don't say "guys"
[20:01] <madbro> this dvd+rw is taking 31 minutes already
[20:01] <madbro> okay ladies and gentlemen
[20:01] <rhizmoe> madbro
[20:01] <JeanValjean> rhizmoe: I have done it. It is the 2 time.
[20:01] <rhizmoe> is
[20:01] <blind> denny: no, mount still lists it as rw
[20:01] <rhizmoe> hey madbro
[20:01] <rhizmoe> this
[20:01] <rhizmoe> after trying
[20:01] <rhizmoe> madbro
[20:02] <rhizmoe> again?
[20:02] <madbro> yes
[20:02] <FloodBot1> rhizmoe: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:02] <denny> blind: oddness.  Nothing to suggest, sorry!
[20:02] <madbro> try what?
[20:02] <rhizmoe> madbro: what are you trying to do?
[20:02] <JeanValjean> rhizmoe: Do u know a parameter to avoid this delta checking?
[20:02] <rhizmoe> JeanValjean: no
[20:02] <madbro> rhizmoe: I am trying to format a new, fresh dvd+rw
[20:02] <rhizmoe> madbro: then that
[20:02] <rhizmoe> do try to keep up
[20:03] <madbro> then what rhizmoe? I gave it 24 hours 2 days ago
[20:04] <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
[20:05] <ccmonster> denny, the last

[20:05] <Deathpote> Hey! :)
[20:05] <ccmonster> i guess thats whats wrong
[20:06] <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
[20:07] <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] <truepurple>  I am trying to get it so I can fastward and rewind in video files with broken indexing. I was told to try aviemux. There are two versions of avidemux in the software center,  gtk and qt, which version do I want?

[20:22] <BluesKaj> KittyBunny, if you have pulseaudio installed then you;re using it , whether you like it or not
[20:23] <blind> Running Ubuntu 11.10 - Wireless keeps losing internet... says it's still connected, but can't ping router or visit any sites. Have to turn wireless off and on to fix. I need a solution for this or I can't run Ubuntu. here's my dmesg for the latest "disconnect" http://pastebin.com/G2k7Gp8n
[20:23] <KittyBunny> BluesKaj: Then i'd like to carry on using PulseAudio.
[20:23] <iExist> xapel you may start by running the command in the terminal to see what errors produces
[20:24] <siegen> help with resolv.conf no such file
[20:24] <xapel> iExist: what command?
[20:24] <siegen> i am trying to share internet to a pc with static ip
[20:24] <BluesKaj> KittyBunny, that's your call , but try without pulse and see if amarok works , if not you can always install pulse again
[20:24] <siegen> when i cannot assign nameserver no resolv.conf
[20:25] <iExist> xapel, the one for the video
[20:25] <iExist> xapel, vlc file.avi
[20:25] <iExist> xapel, you use the program name to open the program from the terminal
[20:25] <KittyBunny> BluesKaj: But if I uninstall PulseAudio i'll have no sound at all, no?
[20:26] <BluesKaj> siegen, alt+f2 , gksudo /etc/resolv.conf , then add your nameserver IPs
[20:26] <BluesKaj> KittyBunny, of course , you still have alsa , pulse is sound server that rides on top of alsa
[20:27] <siegen> BluesKaj: i dont have /etc/resolv.conf
[20:27] <KittyBunny> oh ok
[20:27] <xapel> iExist: no errors on command line
[20:27] <narfanator> does anyone know the command line for the USB startup disk creator in 11.10?
[20:27] <BluesKaj> siegen, you will if do what i told you
[20:27] <scarleo_> Is there no photo handler that can sync with Picasa and actually keep track of which photos are uploaded and not?
[20:27] <BluesKaj> BBL, stuff to do
[20:28] <iExist> xapel, any debug flags? like -vvv
[20:29] <bullgard6> narfanator: In my computer Ubuntu 11.10 gnome-shell, just type "creator", and this application icon will apppear.
 it doesn't work
[20:30] <narfanator> bullgard6: thanks!
[20:30] <xapel> totem --debug, gives me nothing
[20:30] <siegen> it asks for administrative pass but nothing happens
[20:30] <narfanator> bullgard6: nothing happens, `which creator` gives nothing
[20:30] <iExist> blind, i do not believe this is : multiple network managers? like wicd and network-manager
[20:30] <haunt_house> hi how do I set a filetype to open with an application which isnt installed. I try to run blender from a folder, but the right click on file solution doesnt work

[20:31] <narfanator> bullgard6: I don't know how to tell
[20:31] <bkerensa> anyone know what the argument for netstat that is that makes hostnames not be truncated?
[20:31] <blind> I've pinged out in this channel at least 3 times in the last 3 or so hours
[20:31] <bullgard6> narfanator: Hm.
[20:32] <iExist> blind, what about changing kernels
[20:32] <penguin> hello
[20:32] <iExist> hi
[20:33] <blind> iExist: I haven't tried that.. I'm just using the stock one.. I've never changed my kernel before (except when upgrading)
[20:33] <penguin> I have Ubuntu 11.10 installed and am using Chromium web browser... My Java applets are not working... How can I fix this problem?
[20:33] <KittyBunny> BluesKaj: Ok so I did sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio then relogged and Amarok is still using PulseAudio.
[20:33] <iExist> blind, i see
[20:34] <plytheman> anyone in here good with gnumeric?  I've got a question on setting the axes of plots which googling has not availed
[20:34] <blind> I did just change my mtu to 1500 instead of auto as per some intructions i found on google.. but i have to wait to see if that did any good
[20:34] <Tausen> bullgard6: Thank you.
[20:34] <thorn__> Hey guys, can anyone suggest an easy way to merge folders containing pictures that may be duplicates but that may not have the same names? I was hoping to sort by size, but I think the size is only being as specific as that listed, ie 1.2 MB as opposed to sorting by bytes. This means that identical files won't be next to each other. Any suggestions?
[20:35] <penguin> I have Ubuntu 11.10 and I am using the Chromium web browser... My Java applets are not working in the browser... How can I fix this problem?
[20:35] <siegen> BluesKaj:  Ok solved but i need to add to your command a editor  command alt+f2 , gksudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf  thanks!
[20:36] <BluesKaj> KittyBunny, was amarok open when you removed pulseaudio ?
[20:36] <KittyBunny> BluesKaj: Yes.
[20:36] <Gentoo64> penguin, check java is allowed in the config
[20:36] <BluesKaj> siegen, yes , sorry , forgot to mention gedit or your fav text editor
[20:36] <KittyBunny> BluesKaj: Should I close it?
[20:37] <penguin> Gentoo64: like where is this config located and how tocheck this? please guide me
[20:37] <Gentoo64> penguin, do you see a little sign to the right of the address bar?
[20:37] <BluesKaj> if pulse is being used when you remove it , or any app for that matter then it won't uninstall , KittyBunny
[20:37] <siegen> BluesKaj: no problem like this i had to think a bit  :) now i have networking with both pc and internet shared thanks
[20:37] <KittyBunny> k
[20:38] <penguin> what sign?
[20:38] <KittyBunny> BluesKaj: Package pulseaudio is not installed, so not removed
[20:38] <KittyBunny> That's what APT reported.
[20:38] <Gentoo64> sometimes theres a little icon. does java work in other browsers?
[20:39] <BluesKaj> KittyBunny, ok amarok should work if you close then oprn it
[20:39] <Matt223460> I have ubuntu 10.10 and I am using the Chromium Browser... My PDF files don't open in the browser window.
[20:39] <BluesKaj> amarok doesn't need pulse , btw, KittyBunny
[20:39] <KittyBunny> BluesKaj: But it's still using PulseAudio.
[20:40] <penguin> no, java does not work in other browsers
[20:40] <penguin> not even in firefox
[20:40] <BluesKaj> KittyBunny, how do you know ?
[20:40] <KittyBunny> BluesKaj: I'll take a screenshot to show you.
[20:40] <BlaDe^> somehow there's a funny character in my /etc/passwd file: blade@spooshi:~$ cat /etc/passwd --> √root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
[20:40] <Gentoo64> penguin, have you installed icedtea
[20:40] <BlaDe^> and i'm getting sudo unknown user root... is there anything I can do?
[20:40] <BlaDe^> there's a bunch of sites running on this server and I ahve no idea who even broke it
[20:40] <Gentoo64> square root, lol
[20:40] <BlaDe^> indeed
[20:41] <penguin> yes icedtea is installed
[20:41] <penguin> also the icedtea plugin is installed
[20:41] <Gentoo64> hmm not sure then
[20:41] <BluesKaj> KittyBunny, I used amarok for yrs without pulse
[20:42] <penguin> where is this config you were talkig  about?
[20:42] <Gentoo64> penguin, if its happening in both browsers i doubt its the config
[20:42] <Gentoo64> unless you happen to have java blacklisted in chromium AND using noscript in firefox
[20:42] <Gentoo64> or another blacklist
[20:43] <penguin> nothing is blacklisted
[20:43] <Gentoo64> thats what i mean
[20:43] <Gentoo64> i dont know why it isnt working
[20:43] <penguin> i have installed ubuntu 11.10 5 hours ago
[20:43] <penguin> nothing was altered
[20:43] <milen8204> hello, all how to make my copiz-setings and Docky run properly on  Ubuntu 11.10 whit gnome3?
[20:43] <penguin> Gentoo64: any other ideas?
[20:43] <thorn__> Hey guys, can anyone suggest an easy way to merge folders containing pictures that may be duplicates but that may not have the same names? I was hoping to sort by size, but I think the size is only being as specific as that listed, ie 1.2 MB as opposed to sorting by bytes. This means that identical files won't be next to each other. Any suggestions?
[20:43] <Gentoo64> penguin, nope :(
[20:44] <KittyBunny> BluesKaj: http://euronetworking.co.cc/images/pulseaudio.png
[20:44] <Gentoo64> penguin, hope someone else can help. i dont use java or have it installed so im not much use!
[20:45] <charminthemoose> thorn__, a workaround would be to use fslint-gui to find files that are the same (on a byte-by-byte basis, so if they're the same size, it'll detect them)
[20:45] <catcher> Having trouble with the gnome-rdp remote desktop client, is there a better one out there?
[20:45] <narfanator> hello, Unity is malfunctioning and I don't know how to diagnose, can anyone help?
[20:45] <charminthemoose> and then just use the gui to delete the duplicates. Then merge the folder contents
[20:46] <KittyBunny> BluesKaj: http://euronetworking.co.cc/images/pulseaudio.png
[20:47] <BluesKaj> KittyBunny, run pulseaudio from the terminal
[20:48] <bytesoup> Hi folks, I was trying to boot a Packard Bell Desktop PC, AMD Athlon 3800+ CPU with 1GB RAM, but I just get a blank screen after the Ubuntu splash screen, its likely a kernel boot paramter, which ones could I try on the Live CD?
[20:48] <KittyBunny> BluesKaj: The program 'pulseaudio' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
[20:48] <KittyBunny> sudo apt-get install pulseaudio
[20:48] <eviltoaster> What does "networking restart is deprecated..." mean?
[20:48] <BluesKaj> KittyBunny, you probly need to reboot , then check your sound configuration settings again
[20:48]  * KittyBunny sighs
[20:48] <KittyBunny> k :(
[20:49] <carl_> lu
[20:51] <scythefwd> any one know if kernel 3.x is in the works for 11.10
[20:52] <glioros> Guys I rebuild my server and my emails still now working.. any ideas?
[20:52] <Resistance> scythefwd:  i doubt it.  at the earliest it might show up in 12.04, but i dont believe it will either...
[20:52] <Resistance> scythefwd:  we wont know until the Ubuntu Devs state something about it.  until then i'd assume "No"
[20:53] <zmbmartin> Can someone do me a favor and paste there /etc/default/grub file for me. Please I deleted mine by accident
[20:53] <Resistance> zmbmartin:  i would, but i have tweaked mine ;lP
[20:54] <KittyBunny> BluesKaj: Ok now it's using HDA NVidia (ALC1200 Analog)
[20:54] <KittyBunny> I tested it...
[20:54] <KittyBunny> It worked like PulseAudio did...
[20:54] <KittyBunny> but i still can't play any music.
[20:54] <zmbmartin> Resistance: I can still use that.
[20:54] <undream> Hello everyone,
[20:55] <Resistance> zmbmartin:  you wont get the graphical splash screen, and you'll see all the kernel crap that normal users dont want to see :P
[20:55] <BluesKaj> KittyBunny, did you check your alsamixer ctrls , are they unmuted and turned up ?
[20:55] <undream> I just installed ubuntu on a core2duo machine (32 bit version). Everything was fine until I downloaded and enabled the 3d cube in compizconfig. Now when I log back in, I just see the wallpaper.
[20:55] <KittyBunny> BluesKaj: It's definately not that.
[20:55] <riffautae> zmbmartin: grub-update might regenerate it for you
[20:55] <KittyBunny> The whole system sound is working fine.
[20:56] <BluesKaj> KittyBunny, well ,did you ?
[20:56] <KittyBunny> but Amarok fails to play music.
[20:56] <undream> That was a fresh installation of ubuntu and I'm a total stranger of ubuntu so I need your help to know whatto do
[20:56] <KittyBunny> BluesKaj: I have to check those after an OS install.
[20:56] <KittyBunny> I have surround sound.
[20:56] <phonix88> hi, i have a problem with grub, can i ask here?
[20:56] <KittyBunny> and surround is normally turned down in Ubuntu.
[20:57] <undream> I just installed ubuntu on a core2duo machine (32 bit version). Everything was fine until I downloaded and enabled the 3d cube in compizconfig. Now when I log back in, I just see the wallpaper. That was a fresh installation of ubuntu and I'm a total stranger of ubuntu so I need your help to know whatto do
[20:57] <riffautae> phonix88: sure
[20:57] <zmbmartin> riffautae: I do not have a grub-update command
[20:57] <Resistance> zmbmartin:  if you REALLY WANT my text-only, kernel-displaying-crap, http://pastebin.com/W6L2MYnb
[20:57] <Resistance> zmbmartin:  its update-grub
[20:57] <Resistance> but it depends on /etc/default/grub
[20:57] <Resistance> so you'd still need that
[20:58] <BluesKaj> that doesn't matter , so do i but the surround vs normal stereo is immaterial if amarok has no sound output . Try amarok from the terminal , see what errors you get , KittyBunny
[20:58] <riffautae> zmbmartin: you can also do apt-get reinstall grub
[20:58] <riffautae> zmbmartin: and it should redo tha file
[20:58] <Resistance> zmbmartin:  fwiw, you should probably reinstall grub as riffautae says
[20:58] <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] <Resistance> zmbmartin:  because most users dont want to see the kernel crap and the non-graphical loading screen
[20:58] <Resistance> (which includes all sorts of other crap xD)
[20:59] <kermit> wow ive lost count of the all the reasons ubuntu desktop fails to boot without console access.. i guess i should ubuntu-server ?
[21:01] <KittyBunny> BluesKaj: http://pastebin.com/kfB5vNPB
[21:01] <phonix88> thanks, when i start the pc after a power-down grub don't start the countdown and it need of a manual input for start ubuntu why? can I disable this feature?
[21:03] <KittyBunny> BluesKaj: http://pastebin.com/kfB5vNPB
[21:03] <zmbmartin> Thanks guys
[21:03] <BluesKaj> KittyBunny, close all instances of amarok , then start it from the terminal
[21:03] <KittyBunny> BluesKaj: It is closed.
[21:03] <japro> hmm, i have a install with / on a ssd and /home on the hd, once in a while during boot i get a message "serious problems were encountered while trying to find /home" or similar
[21:04] <charminthemoose> Where in ubuntu 11.04 can I find the bash file that contains the system wide $PATH?
[21:04] <BluesKaj> KittyBunny, in the terminal, amarok --debug
[21:05] <riffautae> charminthemoose: /etc/profile*
[21:06] <charminthemoose> riffautae, profile.d/ only seems to contain bashcompletion.sh.. :/
[21:06] <bullgard6> charminthemoose: Do you mean /etc/bash.bashrc ?
[21:06] <milen8204> hello, all how to make my copiz-setings and Docky run properly on  Ubuntu 11.10 whit gnome3?
[21:06] <Squidy> Hi there.. I'm trying to use preseed to instal a ubuntu server here.. However when the installer is installing the base system I'm getting the error to install the kernel.. the installer said it's not able to find a adequate kernel to install
[21:06] <Squidy> may you help me?
[21:06] <riffautae> charminthemoose: if you want to add to the path just put a script in profile.d that does it
[21:07] <Squidy> I have it in my file.seed: d-i     base-installer/kernel/override-image    string linux-server
[21:07] <KittyBunny> BluesKaj: http://pastebin.com/u3Y91v9e
[21:08] <kuba_> poland
[21:08] <Squidy> where to pass the correct kernel to installer?

[21:09] <KittyBunny> BluesKaj: http://pastebin.com/u3Y91v9e
[21:10] <glioros> is that means that the port 25 is now working?
[21:10] <riffautae> glioros: port 22
[21:10] <riffautae> glioros: err sorry misread
[21:10] <riffautae> glioros: i means its listening, but a firewall could be blocking it from the outside still
[21:10] <BluesKaj> KittyBunny, that does not look good , I think you'd better do this , apt-get install --reinstall amarok
[21:11] <KittyBunny> BluesKaj: Seriously?
[21:11] <glioros> riffautae can i pastbin you all the results so to find out why my emails are not working?

[21:20] <chaospsychex> hi i am having trouble finding 'audacious-plugins-xtra' ?
[21:21] <Guest39393> I installed the latest ubuntu version on a 2 GB USB stick (live version) and started my computer up with it. And on that computer i've got an old HDD wich i use IDE on. anyways, when i choosed to install ubuntu on that hard drive it told me that it had to remove all the partitions to continue, i selected OK. An error popped up saying that it couldnt delete it, and everything froze.. i waited
[21:21] <Guest39393> a few minutes, but then i restarted my computer. Now it cant find my hard drive anymore. Not in BIOS, from an old XP-CD i've got OR ubuntu. Did ubuntu destroy my hard drive?
[21:21] <Guest39393> sorry my english :(
[21:21] <chaospsychex> join #kubuntu
[21:21] <riffautae> Guest39393: prolly a coincidence and the drive just happened to die right then
[21:21] <moo-> riffautae, where is dev channel?
[21:22] <riffautae> Guest39393: but check the cables just in case it got bumped loose
[21:22] <Guest39393> but i can still hear the hdd start up when i start my computer "/
[21:22] <h00k> Guest39393: Check your cables, but if the BIOS can't find it, there's a hardware issue
[21:22] <webPragmatist> can a drive be mounted as read only?
[21:22] <Guest39393> i've checked my cables.. four times :(
[21:22] <Resistance> webPragmatist:  only time i've' seen that is when you try and use NTFS without the ntfs-3g package
[21:23] <Resistance> webPragmatist:  why?
[21:23] <moo-> webPragmatist, yes
[21:23] <moo-> webPragmatist, check /etc/fstab
[21:23] <riffautae> Guest39393: ): hdd can break in weird ways, try the hdd in a diff comp
[21:23] <Guest39393> i think that HDD is FAT32
[21:23] <h00k> Guest39393: it sounds like you had a hard drive failure. Does it make any noise or spin up when you get power to it?
[21:23] <Resistance> oh wait, yeah it can be done *forgot he did that with 10.10*
[21:23] <Guest39393> yes, it do spin up!
[21:23] <h00k> Guest39393: but if your BIOS doesn't see it, there's a hardware issue
[21:23] <Guest39393> so.. it's dead? :(
[21:23] <KittyBunny> Hoover! Hoover! Hoover! Hoover!
[21:24] <riffautae> Guest39393: try it in a diff computer
[21:24] <riffautae> Guest39393: coudl be the bios being silly

[21:30] <piranah> worse Vino only intermit works
[21:30] <BluesKaj> KittyBunny, reset your pulseaudio in sound and video configuration
[21:30] <Guest39393> no :P
[21:30] <haylo_> is ther a temp gauge for ubuntu or do i have to install lmsensors?
[21:30] <haylo_> i am trying to keep my os slim as possibl
[21:31] <riffautae> haylo_: have to have lmsensors
[21:31] <keis_> I am trying to install MANDVD but I downloaded a TZ file?
[21:31] <keis_> WHat do I do with it
[21:31] <haylo_> kk thanks:)
[21:31] <chaospsychex> Guest39393: what happens when you turn on the pc with the hdd attached ? what message does it output ?
[21:31] <keis_> obviously its not like an exe file
[21:32] <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] <keis_> riffautae: mandvd was in the repo
[21:32] <Offlein> butterspeet: I really don't know what I'm doing, but are your gtk packages installed?
[21:32] <keis_> they removed it after
[21:32] <keis_> I dont know why
[21:33] <keis_> because now I cannot locate it
[21:33] <ButtersPEET> Offlein: one second, I'll check
[21:33] <riffautae> keis_: may need to enable universe or multiverse
[21:33] <riffautae> !repo | keis_
[21:34] <Geralt_> Hi, is the user@host part at the end of an ssh public key used during authentication? I need to use that key pair from two different accounts
[21:34] <Offlein> ButtersPEET: Okay, I don't know if Gnome3 requires GTK 3 .. I would assume it does. You could probably "sudo apt-get install libgtk3-common" to get it?
[21:34] <Offlein> I guess it couldn't hurt to pick up libgtk2.0-common as well
[21:34] <keis_> riffautae: do you know of anotehr software than converts avi to dvd?
[21:34] <keis_> that is in the reop
[21:34] <riffautae> haylo_: are you resquesting lmsensors be isntalled by default? yea i kinda wish it was too, with a watchdog app
[21:34] <moo-> i hope unity sucks less in upcoming 12.04
[21:35] <piranah> moo-: i'll second that
[21:35] <moo-> i hope you can disable all the useless lenses and scopes
[21:35] <Offlein> ButtersPEET: and also, it's never the perfect advice, but you may want to try killing your xorg.conf if you haven't yet. Probably in "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" .. I'd mv it somewhere, and then reboot and, uh, hope it gets rebuilt.
[21:35] <moo-> i hate the repository integration with app suggestions
[21:35] <KittyBunny> Hoover! Hoover! Hoover! Hoover!
[21:35] <KittyBunny> BluesKaj: k
[21:35] <Offlein> moo- I just switched to Fedora, actually, for just that reason.
[21:35] <scar3crow> Ubuntu 11.10 does not recognize my video card, (ATI Radeon 5xxx) and there are no proprietary drivers listed when I go to system settings--> Additional drivers. Please help I want o play opengl games
[21:36] <riffautae> keis_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DVDAuthoring
[21:36] <h00k> KittyBunny: can you please stop that :)
[21:36] <piranah> Offlein: fedora rocks but I still have faith the Ubuntu well get thier act together
[21:36] <yeats> !ati | scar3crow
[21:36] <KittyBunny> h00k: Huh? Stop what?
[21:36] <gsr> Hi all.  Trying to add an icon to the launcher at the top of the screen.   I'm using Ubuntu 11.10, Gnome Classic.  When I right or left click, nothing happens.  If I hold down ALT and right click I also get nothing.
[21:36] <moo-> Offlein, i cant stand unity, i use gnome-session-fallback with gnome-classic
[21:36] <Offlein> piranah: that makes one of us. I mean, eh, I just don't get Unity. It's just awful. But Fedora is kind of a big difference.
[21:36] <Offlein> Not a BIG BIG difference. But I had to get my bearings.
[21:37] <area51pilot> .
[21:37] <Offlein> I am really liking Gnome 3 on it, though. (After like a week of use.)
[21:37] <ButtersPEET> Offlein: over apt-get, it can't find the package
[21:37] <Bragex9> I ran sudo apt-get update and got this error message in return: http://ppa.launchpad.net/tualatrix/ppa/ubuntu/dists/oneiric/main/source/Sources  404  Not Found. What is wrong here, and how do I fix it?
[21:37] <piranah> Offlein: ya for sure :) Like moo- i have disabled unity and run gnome instead but its still not perfect. Fedora is sweet once ya get your bearings
[21:37] <no-name-> what's a good undelete program?
[21:38] <lukas_> Hello, I want to ask, is the unity window manager opensource?
[21:38] <Offlein> ButtersPEET your apt packages up-to-date? "sudo apt-get update" "sudo apt-get upgrade" ? Do you have actual sources in your "/etc/apt/sources.list"? (If that got dumped, that could be bad!)
[21:38] <moo-> piranah, i didnt like gnome-shell either in gnome3, but gnome-session-fallback with gnome-panel (gnome 2.x style) is nice
[21:38] <piranah> moo-: agreed
[21:38] <Offlein> hear hear.
[21:39] <ButtersPEET> i did update and upgrade about 2 hours ago, I'll check the sources.list now. i moved the file
[21:39] <mang0> Is there a way I can skip the "Unlock login keyring" at startup? It's really irratating....
[21:40] <KittyBunny> BluesKaj: I can't be bothered with this anymore.
[21:40] <Offlein> ButtersPEET: Okay. I'm sorry I'm not super helpful.
[21:40] <KittyBunny> Do you know of another media library?
[21:40] <KittyBunny> Please don't say Rythmebox.
[21:40] <KittyBunny> It's bugged.
[21:40] <piranah> mang0 dont use autologin
[21:41] <ButtersPEET> no it's great. I have this problem sind maybe 15 hours and still no solution but your the first to help me. thanks
[21:41] <KittyBunny> Hoover! Hoover! Hoover! Hoover!
[21:41] <mang0> piranah: Same problem though, I've still got to enter my password to login
[21:42] <Offlein> ButtersPEET: Understood.. and sorry about that too. For what it's worth, I saw you asked for a help a few times, but you will get better results if you just kind of re-say your question each time you give it another go around. Because people are lazy and often won't scroll back to see the original question. :)

[21:42] <ButtersPEET> Offlein: in the sources.list there are many sources.
[21:42] <Dark_Apostrophe> May already have been posted, but I guess it doesn't hurt to do so: http://linux.slashdot.org/story/11/11/11/2036245/linux-kernel-power-bug-is-fixed
[21:42] <riffautae> Dark_Apostrophe: nice!!
[21:43] <KittyBunny> BluesKaj: I can't be bothered with this anymore.
[21:43] <KittyBunny> It's bugged.
[21:43] <Offlein> ButtersPEET: Sounds like your sources is not the issue. :( Would it be enough to just get back to any GUI at this point? (You're stuck at a command line, right?)
[21:43] <KittyBunny> Do you know of another media library?
[21:43] <KittyBunny> Please don't say Rythmebox.
[21:43] <KittyBunny> It's bugged.
[21:43] <Dark_Apostrophe> KittyBunny: Songbird
[21:43] <piranah> mang0 http://askubuntu.com/questions/68292/how-to-auto-unlock-keyring-manager
[21:43] <KittyBunny> :O
[21:43] <BluesKaj> KittyBunny, try vlc , smplayer  or other players
[21:43] <riffautae> ButtersPEET: that url you pasted doesnt look like a standard mirror, can you pastebin your /etc/sources.lst ?
[21:44] <Dark_Apostrophe> KittyBunny: Though to get it working, you need to install ia32-libs.
[21:44] <riffautae> ButtersPEET: you can use pastebinit to do that
[21:44] <Dark_Apostrophe> If you're on 64-bit, that is.
[21:44] <KittyBunny> BluesKaj: Nah... Songbirt sounds AWESOME!
[21:44] <KittyBunny> *songbird
[21:44] <ButtersPEET> Offlein: yeah, i have black and white and a textbrowser and everything, but i learned very much by that.
[21:44] <ButtersPEET> Offlein: I would be happy with everything else.
[21:44] <pooltable> http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/l/linux/linux-image-2.6.38-13-generic_2.6.38-13.52_i386.deb 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.181 80]
[21:44] <Dark_Apostrophe> KittyBunny: Songbird used to have an official Linux release, but they stopped a few years ago, too little manpower. There is an unofficial port on their wiki.
[21:44] <BluesKaj> ok , go for it , KittyBunny ..I've never tried it so good luck
[21:45] <yeats> pooltable: what's your question?
[21:45] <Offlein> ButtersPEET congrats there. Hey I dunno if it works this way in Oneiric, but I once got stuck there and I just had to type "gdm"
[21:45] <glioros> how to Rebuild the Email configuration ?
[21:45] <Offlein> and then the Gnome Desktop Manager opened
[21:45] <Offlein> ButtersPEET you could try "sudo apt-get install gdm gnome-desktop-environment"  and see if that helps
[21:45] <riffautae> glioros: that will depend on your email server, youll have to read the docs
[21:45] <Offlein> KittyBunny I used to use Songbird but I found it really frustrating
[21:46] <pooltable> how to fit it i try to up grade it
[21:46] <KittyBunny> Offlein: Oh.
[21:46] <Offlein> Also it moved all my effing music without asking
[21:46] <Offlein> KittyBunny: and it was slower than I was happy with.
[21:46] <KittyBunny> Offlein: :O
[21:46] <Offlein> Kittybunny: Banshee's no good?
[21:46] <Dark_Apostrophe> KittyBunny: http://wiki.songbirdnest.com/Developer/Articles/Builds/Contributed_Builds <-- Songbird
[21:46] <KittyBunny> Oshit!
[21:46] <yeats> pooltable: try 'sudo apt-get update'
[21:46] <KittyBunny> I'll try smplayer then. :)
[21:46] <pooltable> but it can not be found
[21:46] <ironhalik> if today was a kernel parch published on kernel mailing list, when can it be expected in ubuntu repos?
[21:46] <Offlein> I really like banshee.
[21:47] <ButtersPEET> Offlein: org.gnome.displayDisplayManager connection is not allowed. could not aquire name bailing out.
[21:47] <KittyBunny> Dark_Apostrophe: No thanks.
[21:47] <Dark_Apostrophe> ironhalik: The power regression fix? I'd like to know that, too.
[21:47] <KittyBunny> I'm not going to bother.
[21:47] <ironhalik> yeah
[21:47] <KittyBunny> It will move my music without asking.
[21:47] <ironhalik> Dark_Apostrophe: you tried applying it from git?
[21:47] <Offlein> KittyBunny: Haha, I can't guarantee it will. It just did. Maybe 2 years ago this was.
[21:47] <Dark_Apostrophe> Nope
[21:47] <KittyBunny> And it will act slow like hell.
[21:48] <Offlein> That's a fact.
[21:48] <KittyBunny> Offlein: Well...
[21:48] <KittyBunny> I can't risk it.
[21:48] <Dark_Apostrophe> ironhalik: If you find out, mind telling me?
[21:48] <pooltable> yeats i did it but did not fine any thing but the update manager has 12 update?
[21:48] <Offlein> understood. But, what of Banshee, kittybunny?
[21:48] <Offlein> ButtersPEET Did you google this? Do you have a web browser available to you?
[21:48] <ironhalik> Dark_Apostrophe: Ill will honestly try, but i dont promise ;>
[21:48] <ButtersPEET> Offlein: at the moment it's installing, it might take a moment
[21:48] <KittyBunny> Bluelight: NICE!
[21:49] <KittyBunny> Smplayer is like Windows Media Player!
[21:49] <Offlein> ButtersPEET: You can try your hand at Lynx (sudo apt-get install lynx), the text-only web browser if you want.
[21:49] <Dark_Apostrophe> ironhalik: Well, thanks in advance if you do :)
[21:49] <Bluelight> ?
[21:49] <ironhalik> ;>
[21:49] <ButtersPEET> Offlein:  i use links2 as browser
[21:49] <KittyBunny> OMG!
[21:49] <Bluelight> What is it?
[21:49] <Offlein> ButtersPEET: I also might try: "sudo apt-get remove gdm --purge" and then when that's done, install it again
[21:49] <Dark_Apostrophe> ironhalik: Btw, halik (hallik, actually) is Norwegian for pimp. The iron pimp :P
[21:50] <yeats> pooltable: click "Check" on Update Manager - see if it refreshes
[21:51] <ironhalik> Dark_Apostrophe: The nick is after famous polish traveler, Tony Halik - but pimp is nice too ;>
[21:51] <Offlein> Butterspeet: This one to try too, once it's installed again "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart"
[21:51] <KittyBunny> OMFG!
[21:51] <yeats> !ot | KittyBunny
[21:51] <KittyBunny> VLC it is then.

[21:55] <Offlein> ButtersPEET Hooray! Which one? The /etc/init.d/gdm restart? Or purging it and reinstalling it?
[21:55] <Offlein> ButtersPEET: And did it load Gnome 2 or Gnome 3?
[21:56] <ButtersPEET> Offlein: after gdm restart, it loaded gnome 3. Thank you very much it's working now. thank you. after that all, i think i'll get a beer now. Cheers Offlein.
[21:57] <Johnnychimpo26> ok just did a new install of ubuntu on my second hard drive to run along side windows 7.  i dont get the option at start up to select ubuntu or windows it just boots into windows

[21:58] <Johnnychimpo26> thanks
[21:58] <ButtersPEET> Offlein: I'm german, and yeah, you say it out, when you are happy about something or smthing went out well. but it's not so usually used.
[21:59] <Offlein> ButtersPEET Ahh! Hahah. Got it! I thought you were French for some reason, so I asked my french friend and she didn't know.
[22:00] <ButtersPEET> hehe, thank you very much, you really helped me great. i'll leave now, enough stuff done today, thanks and goodbye

[22:17] <yeats> moo-: no idea ;-)
[22:17] <moo-> zmbmartin, linux kernel 2.6.38 up to 3.2 contains a power regression, will be fixed in 3.2 or 3.3
[22:17] <yeats> KittyBunny: you're welcome
[22:17] <zmbmartin> moo-: can I install 2.6.37 then on 11.10?
[22:17] <moo-> guntbert, but i remember in 11.04 i had ff6 then i got ff7
[22:18] <moo-> zmbmartin, unsure...
[22:18] <guntbert> moo-: I don't remember exactly to be honest, but the general policy is "security updates only"
[22:19] <moo-> guntbert, wasnt it decicded that firefox would always get updated?
[22:20] <guntbert> moo-: not to my knowledge - but I *may* err :)
[22:20] <yeats> moo-: if you really want to be ahead of your friends, enable the mozilla-daily PPA ;-)
[22:20] <genii-around> moo-: If you want the latest and greatest version of Firefox, the PPA is the way to go. Current nightly version is at 10
[22:23] <ChibiTan> I'm getting random reboots, both in the middle of doing something and just overnight (sometimes but not always). Already ruled out overheating, RAM, and power. What logs should I be looking at, and what should I be looking for in them to try to nail this down?
[22:24] <yeats> ChibiTan: start with /var/log/syslog
[22:27] <Technicus> How can I encourage KDE applications to comply with Gnome color schemes?
[22:29] <ChibiTan> yeats: Last thing in syslog before most recent reboot is "Nov 11 13:17:01 Lime CRON[3254]: (root) CMD (   cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly)". That's about 15-20 minutes before it rebooted (at which point I put it into memtest for a couple hours)
[22:30] <landau> hello..i have this problem Could not update ICEauthority file /home/ciccio/.ICEauthority
[22:31] <landau> after that i deleted .ICEauthority but i not fixed it!! how to fix it?
[22:31] <yeats> ChibiTan: that's a normal line - almost certainly not related to a crash
[22:32] <yeats> Technicus: KDE & Gnome are built using different graphics libraries so it's nigh impossible to get KDE apps to look good in Gnome and vice versa
[22:34] <yeats> landau: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=949750 - though there's nothing there about what to do if you delete the file

[22:36] <landau> oh noo!!
[22:36] <yeats> Technicus: understood - well there may be some sites out there that tell you how to hack it to make it better
[22:37] <ChibiTan> yeats: So where else should I be looking?

[22:48] <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.

[22:49] <Rya_n> cool, thanks.
[22:49] <bobweaver> !remaster pfifo:
[22:49] <pfifo> bobweaver, that isnt what i asked

[22:51] <Rya_n> Another question: When running programs through terminal, how can I run them independent of the terminal? (so that I can continue using the terminal)
[22:51] <fellayaboy> Theres no way to resize ubunuts partition without having to create a cd
[22:51] <pfifo> bobweaver, yes, im familiar (its !remaster | pfifo) but Im not trying to set a password on the livecd but rather have the CD ask for a password upon booting
[22:52] <bobweaver> that is just the thing then
[22:52] <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
[22:52] <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.
[22:53] <schreber> can someone tell me why drives that are mounted would not show up in nautilus?
[22:53] <oldschool> hi i was setting up compiz on ubuntu 11.10 and all my desktop icons and taskbar disappeared i was just left with the wallpaper anyone know how can i get all this back
[22:53] <Rya_n> When running programs through terminal, how can I run them independent of the terminal? (so that I can continue using the terminal)
[22:53] <bobweaver> pfifo:  you are talking about Removing the (Casper) Autologin ?
[22:53] <dcherniv> Rya_n, nohup program &
[22:54] <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?
[22:55] <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
[22:56] <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] <bobweaver> pfifo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization     section Removing  Autologin    might help
[22:56] <bobweaver> pfifo:  i missed what you said above sorry
[22:56] <Rya_n> dcherniv: What does & do?
[22:56] <ChibiTan> yeats: Not seeing anything that sticks out. What should I be looking for? Or should I just toss it up on pastebin?
[22:57] <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
[22:58] <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] <pfifo> bobweaver, no, the autologin section does the opposite of what i want
[22:58] <eron> trying to install a game with wine, when I click on the setup.exe file mes the msg that it is not marked as executable I can not find an option in properties>permissions to change, where should I look
[22:58] <dcherniv> Rya_n, relative to terminal
[22:59] <bobweaver> pfifo:  I dont understand what you mean by session please elaborate .
[22:59] <pfifo> bobweaver, what im askig for is simpler that your making it, I want a GUI program the can set/change your password
[22:59] <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.

[22:59] <Rya_n> dcherniv: But I just tried "nohup firefox" and "firefox &". They seem to do what I want.
[22:59] <bobweaver> pfifo:  ever think about making one with quickly ?
[23:00] <pfifo> bobweaver, I am a programmer, I could make one. Im hoping I wont have to :)
[23:01] <bobweaver> pfifo: check out quickly if you dont know what it is http://developer.ubuntu.com/get-started/    just trying to spread the word ;>)
[23:01] <aetas-dk> Can some one tell me why I cannot start applications in ubuntu server gui?
[23:01] <pfifo> bobweaver, Ill look into it
[23:02] <bobweaver> pfifo:  glade also accepts bash as the handeler :>)
[23:02] <fellayaboy> is there a multi usb booter for linux?
[23:02] <eron> Anyone able to tell me how to change permission on an .exe file so I can runit with wine?
[23:03] <bobweaver> !permissions | eron
[23:03] <pfifo> bobweaver, i dont know python, but i can use gtk with C. not sure if quickly would be much use to me
[23:03] <bobweaver> pfifo:  :>)
[23:03] <eron> ty
[23:04] <bobweaver> pfifo:  I will make what you want right now brb
[23:05] <pfifo> bobweaver, ok, if it works out ill put it in my ppa
[23:07] <eron> i opened up the properties>permissions and it only says thet the permissions of "Setup.exe" could not be determined that means I have to use the comand line to uncover whats going on?
[23:07] <eron> I'm on day 2 of using linux
[23:08] <yeats> ChibiTan: sorry - up and down ;-) - I don't know.  Your system should have messages about going down for reboot or halt.
[23:09] <jayar> is it black friday?
[23:09] <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
[23:10] <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
[23:11] <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.

[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.
[23:13] <Frederycho> hai
[23:19] <OliveGreen> Hi all.
[23:19] <bit0> hi!, Why Ubuntu hasn't trademark problems with Mozilla? (as Debian has it)
[23:20] <OliveGreen> What's the name of the JRE included in the Ubuntu repos?
[23:21] <KittyBunny> OliveGreen: OpenJRE
[23:22] <OliveGreen> KittyBunny, The package name?
[23:23] <KittyBunny> OliveGreen: Go to the Software Center and do a search for openjre. :)
[23:23] <KittyBunny> It's there.
[23:24] <OliveGreen> KittyBunny, Oh, yeah. That's right. It's just that I'm used to installing stuff from the terminal that's all. :P
[23:25] <dalek_> NEW INFO for my problem -[ I found I can get some audio if I start shifting the playback progress scrubber forwards and backwards... but still no audio if I just let the file play through without touching it] I was running Ubuntu 10.10, and ALL video players were working fine.

[23:25] <Calinou> !pastebin
[23:25] <OliveGreen> KittyBunny, You meant OpenJDK, right?
[23:26] <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
[23:27] <bit0> m4v, thank you :)
[23:28] <aaroninfidel> anyone know of a good place to get a server? I want to ssh into a box and use it to build websites on remotely.
[23:30] <KittyBunny> OliveGreen: Nope
[23:30] <KittyBunny> I meant OpenJRE
[23:30] <KittyBunny> I even use it to play Minecraft. lol
[23:31] <dalek_> I have video playback problem. Read this - http://paste.ubuntu.com/735768/   - - too big to fit in channel.
[23:34] <alienjon> Something with the window manager in my 11.10 box just crashed
[23:34] <alienjon> anyone have a problem where unity doesn't seem to load/work?
[23:35] <alienjon> I did have the compiz settings open and I was making edits and my computer froze so I reboot.  I'm wondering if I can reset the settings somewhere?
[23:37] <apwbdjp> alienjon, can you access a terminal?
[23:37] <apwbdjp> alienjon, just try this: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubuntu-tip-how-to-reset-compiz-settings-to-default-system-settings-from-command-line.html
[23:37] <rypervenche> KittyBunny: It's not OpenJDK's jre?
[23:37] <atruno> when i boot ubuntu grub2 is never displayed my monitor instead gives me a message saying d-sub is out of range.  it used to display drub2 information.  is it a bios setting that is perhaps wrong ?

[23:39] <KittyBunny> rypervenche: Now i'm confused.
[23:40] <alienjon> fixed mine
[23:40] <alienjon> sudo unity --reset did the trick
