[00:01] <antnash> Aha!
[00:02] <antnash> I'm in. Ta
[00:03] <ActionParsnip> Aric-: did you run the 2 modprobe commands listed?
[00:03] <lapion> ksbalaji, of course if you removed obsolete packages at the end of the upgrad you will never know.. you can however check the upgrader's log
[00:03] <ksbalaji> antnash, Please check up packages.debian.org  -Ta?
[00:03] <antnash> Ta==thanks
[00:03] <ksbalaji> lapion, Thanks.
[00:03] <lapion> ta = thanks all or thanks again..
[00:04] <ksbalaji> antnash, ok. good you got it.
[00:04] <antnash> yeah, on the ubuntu site
[00:05] <annoyingspore> Does anyone know of issues with older PCI video cards or similar problems, with ubuntu server 10.10 or 11.10. right after grub, the characters look all whited out and wierd shapes, then no video. I can go into recovery mode on 11.11.
[00:05] <annoyingspore> i mean 11.10
[00:06] <lapion> annoyingspore, try to startup with the option nosplash
[00:06] <annoyingspore> ok
[00:07] <lapion> annoyingspore, if that doesn't help try using nomodeset..
[00:07] <ActionParsnip> annoyingspore: may help http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/lucidubuntu-10-04-high-resolution-plymouth-virtual-terminal-for-atinvidia-cards-with-proprietaryrestricted-driver/
[00:07] <lapion> annoyingspore, the system only contains pci graphics ? no on-board/pcie or agp ?
[00:08] <Aric-> ActionParsnip: yes
[00:09] <Roasted> Anybody running Ubuntu 11.10 in an environment with Meru backend wireless gear? I'm having an issue where Ubuntu doesn't show wireless networks in Unity. In Gnome Shell, IF they pop up, they show up as "unknown"
[00:10] <Taser> Could anyone attempt to help me answer a question?
[00:10] <smw> Taser, I don't even know the question
[00:11] <annoyingspore> the nosplash worked! there is no onboard video, it is older Pentium III board
[00:11] <Taser> smw: What command can be used to find the version number of ftp?
[00:11] <ActionParsnip> Taser: apt-cache policy ftp
[00:12] <Taser> ActionParsnip:  Where is the version in their?
[00:12] <ActionParsnip> Taser: how do you mean?
[00:12] <genii-around> !info ftp
[00:13] <Taser> Im working on my homework for my operating systems class which is based on ubuntu. One questions is "what command will display the version number of ftp" but im having a hard time figuring it out.
[00:13] <lorddelta1> ftp --version?
[00:14] <hallman> meh
[00:14] <Taser> of course i tried that
[00:14] <Taser> the response is just unkown option
[00:14] <Artemis3> ftp version of what? ftp client? which client? your homework is badly written
[00:15] <ActionParsnip> Taser: apt-cache policy ftp | head -n 2 | tail -n 1
[00:15] <Taser> Im well aware  its poorly written.
[00:15] <Ghost1227> so on 11.10, with a dualscreen setup my notifications show up on the wrong monitor... is there any way to change this?
[00:15] <Taser> Installed: 0.17-19build1 does that sound right?
[00:16] <ActionParsnip> Taser: yes that is the installed version number
[00:16] <Flannel> Taser: that's the version of the package named 'ftp', yes.
[00:16] <smw> Taser, 0.17 is the answer then
[00:16] <antnash> ActionParsnip, how would I pass the results of   'dpkg --get-selections | grep firefox'  to   'apt-get purge' ?
[00:17] <Nambi_> hello all
[00:17] <Taser> Sweet thanks. He is going to take a look at my answer and well probably be puzzled. But all I care about is it works and after taking a look at it I understand whats being done i belive.
[00:17] <lorddelta1> Taser: I'm wondering if it meant a client server response for the ftp...in which case you'd just connect...
[00:17] <Artemis3> or protocol version lol
[00:17] <ActionParsnip> antnash: I believe its:   | apt-get purge -
[00:17] <Nambi_> guys sorry i'm in the wrong channel but I looking for some ideas, anyone here use ddwrt?
[00:18] <antnash> that simple?! Excellent!
[00:18] <ActionParsnip> antnash: could ask in #bash
[00:18] <sachetto> antnash, try dpkg --get-selections | grep firefox | xargs apt-get purge
[00:18] <Ghost1227> Nambi_: yes
[00:19] <antnash> cheers guys. I'll give it a shot now
[00:19] <bugweed> hi, is there an IRC for avant window manager or something
[00:19] <Taser> lorddelta1: thats what I thought in the first place but the question is asking for a command. I guess ill write both. I had written just connect before but it seems odd that would even be an answer.
[00:20] <Squarism> i uppgrade my 10.04 to 10.10.. now i get kernel panic on boot
[00:20] <Taser> vsFtpd 2.2.2 would be the servers ftp version correct?
[00:21] <bugweed> how do i install hddtemp,ACPI and lm-sensors on ubuntu
[00:23] <ActionParsnip> !info hddtemp
[00:23] <ActionParsnip> !info lm-sensors
[00:23] <Squarism> should one run 32 o 64 bit ubuntu?
[00:24] <Squarism> why NOT 64?
[00:24] <haylo_> sudo apt-get install lm-sensors
[00:25] <zykotick9> Squarism, you can run 64bit if you want (and have the CPU that supports it), but many people find 32bit easier
[00:25] <itaylor57> Squarism, use 32 bit on 32 bit  machines and 64 bit on 64 bity machines
[00:25] <Oer> Squarism, with 12.04 64 bit will be recommended.
[00:27] <jarubyh>  /clear
[00:27] <Roasted> Anybody running Ubuntu 11.10 in an environment with Meru backend wireless gear? I'm having an issue where Ubuntu doesn't show wireless networks in Unity. In Gnome Shell, IF they pop up, they show up as "unknown"

[00:31] <sln45> I have a question which may be inapplicable to this channel, but does anybody know if there is a nice native client for RSS feeds?
[00:32] <LjL> sln45: gpodder, yarssr, firefox-sage, canto, xpn  —  GNOME: liferea, straw, evolution-rss  —  GNUstep: rssreader.app  —  KDE: knode, akregator  —  console: snownews, newsbeuter, rsstail, olive, nrss
[00:32] <sachetto> sln45, thunderbird
[00:32]  * jbrks think NateHiggers < should leave with a name like that. Not good for the rest of us.
[00:32] <sln45> Or maybe something that can pick up feeds in my Google Reader or  notify me when I get a new item
[00:32] <sln45> sachetto: I thought that was for e-mail!
[00:33] <sln45> sachetto: Does it have a standalone program for feeds? I don't want an e-mail client.
[00:33] <jbrks> sln45, what you mean by "native" here?
[00:33] <sln45> jbrks: Runs on Ubuntu,
[00:33] <jbrks> sln45, did you try searching rss with your package manageR?
[00:34] <sachetto> sln45, thunderbird can manage feeds
[00:34] <jbrks> sln45, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_feed_aggregators
[00:34] <sln45> sachetto: I know that, but is it bundled with the e-mail?
[00:34] <sln45> Oh
[00:34] <sln45> Thanks for that link
[00:34] <bugweed> anyone here using AWN? anyone got problem cannot edit the notification area? anyone got a fix for that???
[00:34] <sln45> I'll look at that and cease to bother yall

[00:35] <sln45> ActionParsnip: I'm a FOSS kinda gal
[00:35] <fellayaboy> how can i see the names of my cd drivers in ubuntu
[00:36] <ActionParsnip> sln45: gotcha

[00:36] <sln45> jbrks: I can use google, I was mostly asking about google reader in general.
[00:36] <jbrks> sln45, i'm guessing you want a notification on the desktop applet or something like that.. i'm betting there is many of them
[00:37] <sln45> jbrks: I would like having both, but I would like the feed list to be synced. Or a notifier, like you said, but I can't find one
[00:37] <fellayaboy> how can i see the name of the CD's in linux...like the name and manufacter
[00:37] <xsan-lahci> zz
[00:37] <jbrks> sln45, there's some listed on one of the top links by using those google terms
[00:38] <hellomoto> Hello! Is there a way on Ubuntu to find out if your computer's been hacked or not?
[00:38] <sln45> jbrks: No need for a condescending tone. I found them.
[00:38] <sln45> Goodbye.
[00:38] <ActionParsnip> hellomoto: check firewall logs and/or run rkhunter
[00:38] <jandrusk> Take a look at your /etc/passwd to see if there is anything suspicious along with Syslog.
[00:38] <Squarism> can one create a bootable usb disc (with ubuntu 11.10 installation on it) from command line... my gtk version doesnt start
[00:39] <jandrusk> Should be running something like Aide for file-integrity.
[00:39] <jarubyh> Check /var/log/messages and look for anything suspicious, as well.
[00:39] <jarubyh> Any activity in /dev/shm?
[00:39] <Artemis3> its supposed to work with dd nowdays... as in, you can actually dd the iso into the usb stick
[00:39] <jbrks> he left?
[00:39] <jbrks> lol
[00:39] <jbrks> joker -- http://www.rssowl.org/overview2
[00:39] <jbrks> someone doesn't know how to use the google.
[00:39] <Squarism> Artemis3,im on 10.04 here
[00:39] <hellomoto> ActionParsnip: I just turned on my firewall. Will there still be a log to find?
[00:40] <ActionParsnip> hellomoto: the firewall always runs from the day it is installed
[00:40] <Artemis3> Squarism, ah, i don't know if you can do that with that image version...
[00:40] <ActionParsnip> hellomoto: so there should be logs
[00:41] <hellomoto> ActionParsnip: Ok. Can you please take a look at this? These permissions made me suspicious. http://pastebin.com/kK1a34nJ

[00:45] <tonydeneline> riffautae: thats is my doubt.. what could break any time? the driver radeonhd or the intire support for radeon graphics cards?
[00:45] <riffautae> tonydeneline: that one driver, there are other drivers people work on
[00:45] <yagoo> Scunizi, maybe it doesnt like da windows key
[00:46] <Scunizi> yagoo: you mean if I think of it as a "super Key" it might make a difference in Dash?  DOH!  why didn't I think of that..
[00:46] <tonydeneline> I tried to get and install the driver from the official amd support site

[00:47] <ActionParsnip> yakc: i cant, as i don't use it. what are you seeing/
[00:47] <tonydeneline> all*
[00:47] <weside> my question.... Basically the honeymoon is over for Ubuntu 11.10 for me, so I am switching to 10.04 LTS, would it help if I used the server edition so i get even longer support out of it?, and would this create an problems?...
[00:47] <dominicdinada> how to find all my installed packages in one area to remove them ?
[00:47] <yakc> ActionParsnip, well. it doesnt connect to msn
[00:48] <ActionParsnip> weside: the server + desktop UI will be supported as long as the desktop is not eol
[00:48] <ActionParsnip> yakc: OK, what messages do you get when you try?
[00:48] <yakc> it keeps trying but nothing will happen
[00:49] <ActionParsnip> yakc: are there any bugs reported?
[00:49] <yakc> nothing, it just keeps trying to make connection
[00:49] <yakc> yes there are and also some fixes that didn't work for me
[00:49] <pepee> I get a blank screen after suspend/resume . I'm using fglrx: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer-updates/2:8.902-0ubuntu0.1

[00:50] <nes> Yes yes noobs
[00:50] <Scunizi> yakc: try aMSN for connection to msn..
[00:50] <ActionParsnip> yakc: or emesene
[00:50] <weside> Well the server edition gets support until 2015 and the desktop 10.04 lts 2013... https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS
[00:50] <Scunizi> that is if it's still around
[00:50] <guest-nPfpWY> Im new to ubuntu. how do i change my account password with out knowing the old one or how can retrieve the old one?
[00:50] <savannah> Too many icons in my gnome2 toolbar. I like the all little tools and notifiers , but I can't have them all on my small netbook screen. Is there a solution?
[00:51] <yagoo> guest-nPfpWY, hahahha.. you forgot your password?
[00:51] <yagoo> plfffflpffpp!! lol
[00:52] <ActionParsnip> guest-nPfpWY: boot to root recovery mode and you can change any user password there with:  passwd name
[00:52] <guest-nPfpWY> no not really i sware its the one i put in when i was installing it. but when i enter it it says it wrong.
[00:52] <Scunizi> savannah: in gnome 2 there is a way to add a 'file drawer' to the tool bar.. then drop some of your icons into it.. when you click it, it will drop down showing the icons inside.. right mouse click tool bar and "Add" ..
[00:53] <yagoo> guest-nPfpWY, are you using it now with the root account, how are you connected to this irc?
[00:53] <savannah> Scunizi: I always wondered what that "file drawer" could do! Is there anything else handy it does? I dropped a picture into it once and it literally filled with a display of the picture.
[00:53] <guest-nPfpWY> i had to use a guest account
[00:53] <Roasted> Anybody running Ubuntu 11.10 in an environment with Meru backend wireless gear? I'm having an issue where Ubuntu doesn't show wireless networks in Unity. In Gnome Shell, IF they pop up, they show up as "unknown"

[00:54] <guest-nPfpWY> im connected with chatzilla
[00:54] <yagoo> guest-nPfpWY, see if the correct charactesr are entered... try a text login (ctl-alt-f1, ctl-alt-f7->brings u back to gui)
[00:54] <hellomoto> This is what rkhunter found: http://pastebin.com/d9LrGFmU. Does that mean my computer is infected?
[00:54] <savannah> Scunizi: But it can only handle icons? Anyway, I won't ask you things I can look up. Thanks so much!
[00:55] <yagoo> guest-nPfpWY, you need root access like someone said.. i'm skeptical.. i think you're using someone else's machine and want to mess around with it..
[00:55] <tonydeneline> ok.. some one can help me to understand what this site is saying? http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Oneiric_Installation_Guide#The_Options

[00:55] <jarubyh>                /clear
[00:55] <tonydeneline> just a part that I m not understanding
[00:56] <tonydeneline> in the Installing Proprietary Drivers a.k.a. Catalyst/fglrx  section
[00:56] <yagoo> tonydeneline, that's not ubuntu stock.. but it is a ubuntu community drive site.. it mentions PPA
[00:57] <guest-nPfpWY> yagoo: no im using mine.
[00:57] <digdeep> Hi, I am running ubuntu 11.10 on core i7, the laptop's fan is running crazy recently. I notice one cpu core is at 90%
[00:57] <yagoo> tonydeneline, try using "ubuntu wiki <keyterms>> .. see if there's better results with ubuntu wiki with google..
[00:57]  * yagoo tends to use "ubuntu wiki" with google
[00:58] <ActionParsnip> digdeep: does the system have a make and model?
[00:58] <tonydeneline> yagoo: thanks, can you confirm if Im understanding this? over there is saying: "If you enter your card information on AMD/ATI's driver page, it will offer you the Catalyst 9-3 driver to download. However, the Catalyst 9-3 driver doesn't support X servers past 1.5, and it will not work with Oneiric (or anything later than Lucid/10,04)! !!!SO BE CAREFUL!!! If you tried to install Catalyst on a system with one of these cards, see 
[00:58] <yagoo> tonydeneline, you using ubuntu 10 ?
[00:58] <tonydeneline> that means...I cant use the catalyst?
[00:58] <tonydeneline> ubuntu 11.10
[00:59] <yagoo> tonydeneline, so that site says 10.. so try looking up something with ubuntu wiki.. there's definitely some update
[00:59] <yagoo> guest-nPfpWY, i think we told you how to solve it..
[00:59] <yagoo> guest-nPfpWY, you need root access.. boot up with a rescue cd, and use chroot
[00:59] <savannah> Scunizi: Wait, most of these icons are attached. Like, say, the wifi. Or jupiter.
[01:00] <yagoo> guest-nPfpWY, a better way.. if you know how to do it is to append ->init=/bin/bash at the end of the bootline
[01:00] <yagoo> guest-nPfpWY, that way you dont need to use a cd..
[01:00] <savannah> Scunizi: IE they're fixed together or they won't move at all, or they just aren't listed in the "Add to Panel" thing.
[01:01] <yagoo> guest-nPfpWY, then it's simply "passwd <username>" for that user..

[01:08] <phunyguy> vitor, understood.  I get that error as well.

[01:20] <usr13> dante123: What exactly are you wanting to do?  Change the screensize?
[01:20] <jaybee_> Gskellig: ln -s /media/sdcard/ /home/sdcard
[01:21] <antnash> oh. It's that easy. Bugger. Cheers riffautae and qin!
[01:21] <Gskellig> jay_, how about automatically mounting that on boot?
[01:21] <usr13> dante123: Do you have proprietary video card driver installed?
[01:21] <dante123> okay, you are going to force me to tell the long convaluted story.....i switched hd from one pc to another....and it would not load on second pc....so i went back to first and upgraded to newere ubuntu....kernel thing with second pc...
[01:22] <dante123> now it won't boot into x....thinks i have amd card and i really have nvidia on second pc....need to reconfigure x
[01:22] <usr13> dante123: sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[01:22] <jaybee_> oh, ahem :) gnome-open works :)
[01:22] <dante123> so i am at command prompt....and want to configure x....and i would prefer renaming rather than deleting old xorg.conf
[01:23] <dante123> what is command for renaming xorg.conf
[01:23] <usr13> dante123: sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[01:23] <dante123> wont that remove it
[01:23] <jaybee_> yes it wil
[01:23] <jaybee_> dont do that
[01:23] <usr13> dante123: But if you insist:  mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak
[01:23] <jarubyh>  /clear
[01:23] <dante123> i dont want to remove it for reasons too numerous to enumerate
[01:23] <usr13> dante123: But, why would you want to save it?
[01:24] <usr13> dante123: Ok, welll there you go.
[01:24] <ron_frown> can somone please give me any ideas about how I can install ubuntu 10.04 on this box? No boot options help it do anything regarding the black screen on boot
[01:24] <ron_frown> its a dell optiplex 990
[01:24] <ron_frown> supposedly has some new ati radeon board
[01:24] <Gskellig> okay basically i want a neat, tidy way to have my 32GB sdcard mounted as my /home/downloads folder
[01:24] <dante123> because of monitor issues where edid is wrong...and I MAY have to put resolution details in there
[01:24] <Gskellig> basically use it as an internal hard drive
[01:24] <ron_frown> acpi=off and radeon.modeset=0
[01:24] <dante123>  mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak ....will try that thanks
[01:24] <ron_frown> didnt help at all
[01:25] <dante123> then just reboot so it makes new config?
[01:25] <usr13> yep
[01:25] <ron_frown> alternative installer did get it installed but ends up with exactly the same problem
[01:25] <ron_frown> black screen with a garbled blinking cursor
[01:26] <w30> anybody running anything besides Gnome or KDE? I'm trying out gnome3 with gnome-panel and gnome-shell and enlightenment and xfce4. What's next, LXDE?
[01:27] <Aric> Ubuntu 11.10 / iMac Late 2006 / BCM4311 Wireless --- Not working after trying the solutions on the wifi forum, 2 ask ubuntu threads, and a blog post that was for an HP with the same card, including using synaptic, removing firmware, enabling and also disabling the STA driver.. stuck without wireles...
[01:27] <OffbeatAdam> 18
[01:28] <riffautae> w30: i use i3
[01:29] <w30> riffautae, thats new to me, got a url to look at that on?
[01:29] <riffautae> http://i3wm.org/
[01:29] <Gskellig> is xfce pretty much the standard "lightweight" gui?
[01:30] <dante123> okay guys...system rebooted....and I have desktop...but mouse does not work...and menu bar at top is missing (10.10)
[01:30] <riffautae> Gskellig: lightweight DE yes, but you can dump the DE and just use a wm as well
[01:31] <Mneumonic> Gskellig XFCE is lightweight and really good.  You should also check out LXDE, it's more lightweight and just as good.  They are just two different ways of doing a lightweight DE
[01:32] <ryuguns> Hello, I heard if I got two graphics cards, it would take work off the CPU, is that true, if so how? Please be patient with me, I'm a hardware noob.
[01:32] <ryuguns> Is there another room for hardware questions?
[01:32] <riffautae> ##hardware
[01:32] <Gskellig> ##hardware
[01:32] <riffautae> ryuguns: as a side note, dual gpu [crossfire/sli] just makes rendering and physics faster
[01:33] <ryuguns> Okay, thank you. :)
[01:33] <NotJimCarrey> anyone fluent in pgp? trying to take ownership of my old keys i found on the server
[01:34] <w30> riffautae, Google found it for me, thanks. Is it in the ubuntu repos or did you gt it another way?
[01:34] <riffautae> an old version is in the rpo so i built it myself
[01:34] <riffautae> repo* w30 ^^
[01:35] <localg0d> is there anyway to pull the video drivers from the 11.10 iso file or disc and use them on my current install ?
[01:35] <riffautae> w30: he provides repos for it it looks like actually
[01:36] <w30> what do I search for in the rpo*
[01:36] <riffautae> localg0d: if you are on 11.10 possibly, otherwise you will have dependancy issues
[01:36] <guest-MbOtNu> What is GRUB?
[01:37] <riffautae> guest-MbOtNu: the software that the computer runs that then runs ubuntu/other oses
[01:37] <zykotick9> !grub | guest-MbOtNu
[01:37] <localg0d> riffautae: is it possible to upgrade packages but not the entire version of ubuntu rif ?
[01:37] <riffautae> localg0d: only if the package dependancies are satisfied by what you already have, with video drivers that is unlikely
[01:38] <riffautae> localg0d: if it is nvidia or amd you can try compiling them yourself if you cant find a package
[01:39] <localg0d> well i need to find the video driver on the disc .. is there a file branch i need to look in ?
[01:39] <localg0d> from there i can easily download and track down the dependencies
[01:39] <riffautae> localg0d: there will be a standard repo layout some where on the disk but i am not familiar with the disc layout
[01:39] <localg0d> ahh yeah .. riffautae i wasn't thinking repo haha
[01:39] <guest-MbOtNu> I wanting to replace windows vista with ubuntu. the only thing i see when i boot my machine is windows boot manager and the ubuntu loading.
[01:40] <zykotick9> guest-MbOtNu, did you install Ubuntu from inside Windows, or did you boot an Ubuntu CD?
[01:41] <guest-MbOtNu> inside windows
[01:41] <zykotick9> guest-MbOtNu, then ubuntu is actually "inside" windows then.
[01:42] <localg0d> .join #irssi
[01:43] <phunyguy> ahheaheh
[01:45] <w30> riffautae, ahh, aewm:i386 I found it.
[01:45] <valo> test
[01:48] <ron_frown> how could an install fail ui stuff with xforcevesa
[01:48] <ziggyfish> does anyone know how to change what happens when you press F1 in gnome 3.0 (classic mode) in ubuntu 11.10?
[01:48] <ziggyfish> Every time I accedently press F1 it, it displays a help dialog I can't get rid of. The only way to close it is by restarting the whole system
[01:48] <SiDi> After upgrading my system from 11.10 original packages to whatever there is now, my system wont boot: gdm keeps crashing and launching again, and theres nothing i can do to take control of the system. What shall i do?
[01:49] <dante123> what is the command from console to reconfigure x
[01:49] <ziggyfish> what do you want to reconfigure?
[01:50] <xangua> SiDi: upgrade from 11.10 to whatever¿¿ 12.04 devepment¿¿
[01:50] <xangua> development*
[01:50] <SiDi> xangua: nope, i meant i did an upgrade of packages from 11.10 as it was in october to whatever exists now in 11.10 repositories
[01:50] <dante123> okay, without having to explain everything again.....when I boot i get to desktop, mouse is frozen, screen is not quite right...top menu bar is missing....safe mode gives me reconfigure x as an option...but that doesnt work either....so I want to run from command line
[01:51] <usr13> SiDi: Ctrl-Alt-F6  Login and turn off service gdm and then see if you can reconfigure Xorg
[01:51] <dante123> everytime i choose reconfigure x from the safe mode dialog...it just gives me the same dialog again....i want command line to do it
[01:51] <zykotick9> usr13, 11.10 doesn't use gdm - lightdm maybe?
[01:52] <ziggyfish> dante123: it looks like a driver problem
[01:52] <SiDi> usr13: i cant get a shell opened, if i boot in recovery, i dont get any relevant error messages in Xorg.0.log when launching Xorg, just a totally black screen. Same if i directly run startxfce4, and gdm just won't boot (exiting with error code 1, nothing in syslog)
[01:52] <ziggyfish> dante123: what is your graphics card?
[01:52] <SiDi> zykotick9: then its lightdm that doesnt work :D
[01:52] <icarious> whats the main difference between the regular release and LTS apart from 4-5 years support and updates.. are the packages more tested and stable ?
[01:52] <dante123> yeah probably fact that hd was in computer with amd gpu...and this one has nividia....okay so someone give me command to reconfigure...i already got rid of xorg.conf
[01:52] <Haya> v
[01:53] <zykotick9> icarious, not really - it's mainly the support duration that is different
[01:53] <icarious> zykotick9: ahoy mate
[01:53] <dante123> dpkg -reconfigure or something like that
[01:53] <dante123> ???
[01:53] <dante123> i want to force ubuntu to reconfigure everything
[01:53] <usr13> SiDi: sudo Xorg -configure
[01:53] <Caseyor> Does anyone know if all ubuntu applications run on demian?
[01:54] <zykotick9> dante123, do you even have an xorg.conf file?  you shouldn't (unless you're using proprietary drivers)
[01:54] <SiDi> usr13: cant reach shell from normal boot, cant get rw partitions from recovery... but im gonna try in recovery anyway sec
[01:54] <icarious> is there an option to use a free software only installation? and if so. does it include a blob free kernel ? free from binary blobs ?
[01:54] <dante123> okay ran that and I get an error....says something about no adm controllers found
[01:54] <usr13> SiDi: Yes, just try it in recovery mode.
[01:54] <dante123> how can i get rid of it even looking for them
[01:54] <zykotick9> icarious, not with ubuntu no.
[01:54] <SiDi> icarious: its called chicken something,, its a derivative with only FOSS
[01:54] <ziggyfish> dante123: reconfiguring want do you any good
[01:54] <xangua> icarious: you are looking for the gnu distros that the free software foundation recomends¿
[01:54] <ziggyfish> *wont
[01:54] <dante123> okay so how to remove amd driver
[01:55] <zykotick9> icarious, ubuntu is not exactly free software friendly.  see debian.
[01:55] <icarious> xangua: i am already on trisquel.. was wondering if ubuntu freed it kernel
[01:55] <dante123> says failed to load module vmwgfx
[01:55] <ziggyfish> dante123: did you install the driver that comes with ubuntu or did you download it from the nvidia site?
[01:56] <dante123> havent done anything because i cant get to desktop
[01:56] <usr13> icarious: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS
[01:56] <xangua> icarious: there is a 100% free software based ubuntu distro, gnewsence
[01:56] <icarious> usr13: thanks mate
[01:56] <ziggyfish> dante123: so it's a fresh install?
[01:56] <dante123> should have uninstalled amd one obviously...but didnt...so is there a work around
[01:56] <zykotick9> dante123, are you using vmware?
[01:56] <icarious> xangua: i am on trisquel. it has regular release. gnewsense is stalled since sometime
[01:56] <dante123> NOT an option.  I need to get stuff off there
[01:56] <icarious> ubuntu based again
[01:56] <zykotick9> xangua, trisquel is a better option then gnewsense (in my opinion)
[01:57] <ziggyfish> dante123: what I mean have you ever been able to get into the desktop?
[01:57] <dante123> and it is an upgrade of 10.04 to 10.10
[01:57] <dante123> yes, back in 10.04
[01:57] <ziggyfish> ok.
[01:57] <dante123> but only if hd was put back into first machine that did have amd card
[01:58] <dante123> i can get to desktop now...but mouse is frozen
[01:58] <dante123> cant do anything
[01:58] <ziggyfish> dante123: is a VMware driver.
[01:58] <xangua> zykotick9: icarious ok, didn't know about it ;)
[01:58] <icarious> xangua: ;)
[01:58] <dante123> i had virtualbox on there...not vmware
[01:59] <SiDi> cool it looks like dbus is totally broken. usr13 i only had errors about fb0 and vmware drivers when configuring Xorg and theres no improvement
[01:59] <ziggyfish> dante123: I am looking for the way to uninstall the driver
[01:59] <dante123> thanks ziggyfish
[01:59] <ziggyfish> dante123: do you know much about the command line?
[02:00] <dante123> enough to make me dangerous
[02:00] <ziggyfish> dante123: lol
[02:00] <dante123> but go ahead
[02:00] <Brighty> Hi all, can anyone help me out with a touchpad issue?
[02:01] <ziggyfish> goto the directory /etc/X11 (cd /etc/X11
[02:01] <dante123>  ziggyfish what you want me to try
[02:01] <dante123> I suspect amd driver stuff is getting in the way
[02:01] <ziggyfish> type nano xorg.conf
[02:01] <dante123> ok getting there
[02:02] <Gergov> guys i file name.iso and it shows "data" .. how can i extract the content? i tried dd if=file.iso of=/dir/Name.. and now i got file Name with no extention. what to do with it?
[02:02] <ziggyfish> hang on, exit out of nano, and rename that file to xorg.conf.old
[02:02] <ziggyfish> and reboot
[02:02] <dante123> actually deleted xorg.conf earlier or thought i did
[02:03] <ziggyfish> just remembered that xorg.conf will regenerate again when doesn't exists
[02:03] <SiDi> usr13: actually there IS a change. now when i startx, my mouse doesnt work.
[02:03] <Brighty> My touchpad dosnt work at all - I have a synaptics touchpand but In Ubuntu 10.04 if i do an 'xinput --list' my touchpad displays as a "Macintosh mouse button emulator"
[02:03] <JoeyA> I'm on Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit and am trying to install ies4linux.  However, the 'wineprefixcreate' program is missing.  I've already installed the wine package.
[02:03] <zykotick9> ziggyfish, no it won't (xorg.conf doesn't regenerate automatically, it's not even required usually)
[02:04] <dante123> there is no xorg.conf in /etc/X11/
[02:04] <dante123> just backups etc.
[02:04] <xangua> !appdb | JoeyA
[02:04] <dante123> okay i have command line ziggyfish
[02:04] <w30> Wow! Ubuntu has every window manager there is except for OSX-Pussycat and Vicesta.
[02:05] <JoeyA> xangua: I think this is more of a packaging issue.  The wineprefixcreate program should be in the wine package, as I get a "You can install it by typing:" when I try to run it.
[02:05] <dante123> ziggyfish ???? now what?
[02:06] <ziggyfish> dante123: hang on
[02:07] <dante123> checking out other ones there backups etc....have ati all through them
[02:07] <dante123> hoping there is an earlier one
[02:08] <Brighty> My touchpad dosnt work at all - I have a synaptics touchpand but In Ubuntu 10.04 if i do an 'xinput --list' my touchpad displays as a "Macintosh mouse button emulator" and If i do a 'modrpobe --list | grep input' i get the following related to the mouse "kernel/drivers/input/mouse/appletouch.ko" should that be there or is this causing my issue? And if it shouldnt be there how do i remove it??
[02:08] <Brighty> i have trued a modprobe -r appletouch but it dosnt remove the moduel..
[02:08] <ziggyfish> dante123: remove vmware-tools
[02:09] <dante123> how
[02:09] <dante123> what is command to remove that
[02:10] <dante123> ziggyfish how?
[02:13] <dante123> ziggyfish made it to desktop, took xorg.conf.failsafe and renamed it xorg.conf and then rebooted
[02:13] <SiDi> ok fine
[02:13] <SiDi> reinstalling
[02:13] <dante123> mouse is not frozen....yet
[02:13]  * SiDi feels like he'll be running gentoo by the end of the night
[02:13] <dante123> spoke too soon....mouse just froze...maybe should try generic one instead of fancy ms one

[02:30] <Brighty> @ psychx - is it gimpshop_2.2.11-1_i386.deb?
[02:30] <Gergov> any idea how to extract data from .iso ? i tried mount it but now i found out that when i write "file file.iso" i get "data".. and actually i dont know what that means
[02:30] <sln45> May I ask a question about the gnome panel?
[02:30] <GraemeLion> sln45,  Go ahead and ask :)
[02:30] <psychx-> Brighty: That sounds like it, thank you!
[02:31] <psychx-> Brighty: To get that I would just apt-get install gimpshop_2.2.11-1_i386.deb
[02:31] <Brighty> @ psychx - http://www.gimpshop.com/download.shtml
[02:31] <Brighty> @ psychx - there is a link to download the .deb file
[02:31] <psychx-> Brighty: But from Terminal, that would be the correct format, right?
[02:31] <phunyguy> I am having a weird issue with all flavors of Ubuntu on this machine.  Browsing stops working every 5 minutes or so, then comes back about a minute later.  It looks like a DNS resolution issue, and no other PCs on my network have this issue.  I have replaced the network cable, switch, router, and network card in this machine, still doing the same thing.
[02:32] <GraemeLion> phunyguy: Are you on wifi?
[02:32] <sln45> I've got a tablet netbook and I have trouble with the panels when I rotate the screen. There simply isn't enough room on them for basic indicators and menus, so I'm trying to improve my icon economy. Is there a way to change "applications, places, system" to three icons?
[02:32] <phunyguy> GraemeLion, nope.  Wired.
[02:32] <GraemeLion> Hmm.  okay.
[02:32] <phunyguy> my wifi workstations work 10x better
[02:32] <phunyguy> 100x*
[02:32] <Brighty> @ psychx - "if" its available from the terminal it might be 'sudo apt-get install gimpshop*"
[02:33] <Brighty> @ psychx - "if" try 'sudo apt-get install gimpshop_2.2.11-1" first
[02:34] <psychx-> Brighty: Ok, thank you. I just like to do things differently sometimes to learn a little more.
[02:34] <phunyguy> I can't even ping websites in the terminal
[02:34] <phunyguy> google for example says "unknown host"
[02:34] <Brighty> @ psychx - if that dosnt work, download the .deb file from the website i gave you
[02:34] <trilhadera> hi all
[02:35] <phunyguy> hai trilhadera
[02:35] <trilhadera> where can i get some help about driver installation?
[02:35] <psychx-> Brighty: Gotcha
[02:35] <sln45> I guess I should ask about it on the forums.
[02:35] <GraemeLion> phunyguy: I asked because MINE disconnects every few minutes because Networkmanager sucks :)
[02:35] <robin0800> sln45, think you can choose a different menu type with just an icon in the add applets
[02:36] <phunyguy> yeah it seems to stay connected.  And everything else works.  It seems to be purely DNS related.
[02:36] <sln45> robin0800: I can, but I hate it. I prefer fewer clicks, and I can fit everything if I had three icons instead of three words.
[02:36] <GraemeLion> phunyguy: Possibly change DNS's ?
[02:36] <GraemeLion> Maybe to opendns or something similar?
[02:37] <sln45> robin0800: If I could change the panel's behavior when it was out of room, that would be better.
[02:37] <phunyguy> have.
[02:37] <phunyguy> same thing.
[02:37] <Brighty> can anyone help me with a touch pad issue???? origonal poast was 20 minutes ago if someone could look
[02:37] <laog> lol
[02:38] <psychx-> phunyguy_work: Or Google's which is I believe: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 to name a few.
[02:38] <phunyguy> I have tried several.  4.2.2.2 included.
[02:38] <phunyguy> it's not a downstream issue.
[02:38] <mxed> phunyguy, have you reboted your router
[02:38] <phunyguy> mxed. yes.
[02:38] <GraemeLion> Yeah, I'm out of guesses ..
[02:38] <phunyguy> as well as replaced it.
[02:38] <mxed> ok i see
[02:38] <GraemeLion> (Kinda funny, I do L4 developer support for a living :)  )
[02:38] <phunyguy> as well as everything else hardware related.
[02:39] <trilhadera> my usb wireless card (chipset RT2870) is wrong detected (as a chipset AR9001/9002) what can i do?
[02:39] <phunyguy> GraemeLion, I hear ya.  Desktop Engineer here.
[02:39] <mxed> does it have same problem with wired conection
[02:39] <phunyguy> mxed it is pure wired.
[02:39] <mxed> oh
[02:39] <robin0800> sln45, well I like unity on my laptop with the launcher reduced in size and set to auto hide
[02:39] <mxed> i se
[02:40] <trilhadera> no wired connection is fine
[02:40] <sln45> robin0800: I can't use unity. The funny thing about unity is that it's really only appropriate for this kind of computer, but it's too heavy for me to even try.
[02:40] <robin0800> sln45, unity 2d perhaps
[02:41] <mxed> phunyguy, to exclude that system cause your problem, try to use a livecd and se if you got same problems
[02:41] <sln45> robin0800: I've thought about trying it, but I like gnome panels too much.
[02:41] <phunyguy> mxed. I did that.  and reinstalled several times.  It works great until I run updates on a fresh install.
[02:42] <sln45> robin0800: I appreciate your suggestions, but I think I will go ahead and see if it's possible to change it's behavior when it's out of room.
[02:42] <mxed> phunyguy, ahaa. i have not yet made any updates on my ubuntu. it works nice so why should i make updates
[02:43] <phunyguy> mxed, it's my style.  As I said I am a desktop engineer and tend to run updates and keep stuff current out of habit
[02:44] <mxed> phunyguy, yep, but ubuntu is prety unstable these days so i wait a couple of months
[02:44] <Artemis3> mxed, do install security updates...
[02:44] <phunyguy> I even tried the newer kernel version 3.0.0.14-generic
[02:44] <phunyguy> no go.
[02:45] <GraemeLion> I am absolutely in love myself with the gnome shell and oneric
[02:45] <GraemeLion> But this wireless issue is annoying :P
[02:45] <phunyguy> you're tellin me.
[02:45] <mxed> Artemis3,  maybe later, i am not that worried to be haced on this eeepc
[02:45] <phunyguy> my other PCs run circles around this one with browsing
[02:46] <phunyguy> has to be hardware/kernel related.
[02:46] <GraemeLion> phunyguy: Oh, on wired, my system flies.
[02:46] <phunyguy> maybe I should try to downgrade the kernel
[02:46] <phunyguy> is that even possible>
[02:46] <phunyguy> >
[02:46] <GraemeLion> On wireless, there's a bug in 80211 that disconnects on occasion
[02:46] <phunyguy> ?*
[02:46] <FloodBot1> phunyguy: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:47] <phunyguy> wheeee, thank you FloodBot1
[02:47] <mxed> anyway, one of my dist upgrades caused me so much trouble so i reinstaled ubuntu again
[02:47] <icarious> mxed: perform a safe upgrade always
[02:47] <johnjohn101> what do i do if unity crashes and I don't get my desktop back?
[02:47] <mxed> normaly i do
[02:47] <Artemis3> mxed, don't do dist-upgrades with ubuntu, stick to update-manager or do-release-upgrade
[02:48] <rumpel> johnjohn101, switch to another console and restart unity manually
[02:48] <johnjohn101> how do i do that?
[02:48] <zykotick9> Artemis3, dist-upgrade is the equivalent of what update-manager does
[02:48] <phunyguy> johnjohn101, ctrl-alt-f1
[02:49] <phunyguy> to get back is ctrl-alt-f7
[02:49] <Artemis3> zykotick9, not exactly...
[02:49] <johnjohn101> ok,  now how do I start unity
[02:49] <johnjohn101> i never lost firefox
[02:49] <rumpel> johnjohn101, which display manager do you use? Or which ubuntu?
[02:49] <Artemis3> zykotick9, at least not during an actual dist upgrade (not simply minor updating system libs
[02:50] <johnjohn101> rumpel: 11.10  and unity
[02:50] <Firefishe> icarious  what does aptitude/safe upgrade do that apt-get/upgrade/dist-upgrade does not?
[02:50] <zykotick9> Artemis3, update-manager can install new files, same as dist-upgrade
[02:50] <zykotick9> Firefishe, not break your system
[02:50] <rumpel> johnjohn101, then try "sudo service lightdm restart" (maybe try with typing "light" and then pressing <tab> key)
[02:50] <Artemis3> aptitude was removed to avoid system breakage...
[02:51] <johnjohn101> rumpel thanks
[02:51] <johnjohn101> i rebooted as I didn't have pidgin up so I'll make a not for this next time
[02:51] <mxed> thogut aptitude was remobed because they needed the space to fit one cd ?
[02:52] <Firefishe> zoktick9: yes, but how? Artemis3 when did that happen?
[02:52] <sanity> so something keeps killing a java process on my Ubuntu box, how can I figure out why it is being killed?
[02:52] <zykotick9> Artemis3, you've obviously never ran an ubuntu system during development
[02:52] <elz89> I have just added a PPA, however I added the wrong distro version name and I have already run an update. What would be the proper way to remove this mistake and anything that might have been downloaded that is not required?
[02:52] <Artemis3> Firefishe, i think it was in 11.04 can't remember exactly
[02:53] <zykotick9> !tab > Firefishe
[02:53] <Artemis3> zykotick9, ppl here should not be running ubuntu during development... maybe #ubuntu+1
[02:53] <zykotick9> Firefishe, aptitude has a lot more complex resolution handling then apt-get
[02:53] <xangua> elz89: go to software center, edit, sources
[02:54] <xangua> remove it from there
[02:54] <zykotick9> Artemis3, i was commenting on your "aptitude was remove to prevent breakages" comment.  Aptitude can work, when apt-get fails miserably.
[02:55] <elz89> xangua: would that not just been the same as removing the 'deb *' line in '/etc/apt/sources.list' ?
[02:56] <hugenumbers> how do I mount ubuntu from a live disk
[02:56] <bhermz> sanity visualVM may show why your process terminates. It's included with the JDK.
[02:56] <Firefishe> zykotick: I'm not on a computer. I'm using mirggi on symbian.
[02:56] <hugenumbers> I mean mount harddisk from live disk
[02:57] <zykotick9> Firefishe, i sent you !tab because you're not highlighting my nic - if your IRC client can't do TAB, get a better IRC client ;)  (perhaps not possible in your case?)
[02:58] <Firefishe> zykotick9: better now?
[02:59] <zykotick9> Firefishe, there you go - highlighted, nice (i appreciate it)
[03:01] <Firefishe> zykotick9: it has to do with my manually using the correct syntax. Not much I can do on a nokia E71.
[03:01] <molgrum> i'm trying to run warsow but then this happens: http://paste.ubuntu.com/739882/
[03:01] <zykotick9> molgrum, what graphics card are you using?
[03:03] <tanath> ubuntu keeps warning me my laptop battery is critically low even when it's not. and it doesn't matter if i hit ok or cancel, it shuts it down anyway. doesn't matter if i plug it in first. doesn't matter what percentage it's at.
[03:03] <tanath> really hampers file transfers >_<
[03:03] <molgrum> zykotick9, not sure what brand of ATI radeon it is, how can i check?
[03:04] <hugenumbers> nvm think i got it
[03:04] <zykotick9> molgrum, sorry I can't help then (ATI), good luck.  warsow is a fun game.  "lscpi | grep -i vga"
[03:05] <elz89> tanath: have you tried recalibrating in the bios?
[03:05] <mikeru> hey there
[03:05] <mikeru> how can I compile a new hid-apple module and replace the one provided by ubuntu?
[03:05] <tanath> elz89, havent' seen such a thing in the bios...
[03:05] <tanath> elz89, guess i should have a look. brb
[03:06] <mikeru> I have a 2011 apple aluminum keyboard and there's no support for the fn-keys in the 3.0 kernel provided by 11.10
[03:07] <mikeru> support was added in the 4a4c879904aa0cc64629e14a49b64fb3d149bf1a kernel commit; I don't want a new kernel, I only want to recompile that module
[03:12] <tanath> elz89, there's nothing in the bios about the battery
[03:12] <dominicdinada> ettercap -Tq -i wlan0 isnt working why not on 10.04
[03:13] <dominicdinada> SSL dissection needs a valid 'redir_command_on' script in the etter.conf file
[03:13] <dominicdinada> Privileges dropped to UID 65534 GID 65534
[03:13] <dominicdinada> i get this error ?
[03:14] <tanath> ubuntu keeps warning me my laptop battery is critically low even when it's not. and it doesn't matter if i hit ok or cancel, it shuts it down anyway. doesn't matter if i plug it in first. doesn't matter what percentage it's at.
[03:22] <rumaging_pinz> Hello people from the internet
[03:26] <reo__> Hey, is there a terminal command that can start my laptop fan?
[03:26] <reo__> lsmod returned that there is a fan module
[03:26] <smw> anyone know how to add a podcast to banshee that requires auth?
[03:27] <garden92> need help. videos have no sound.
[03:28] <zykotick9> garden92, videos online?  so flash has no sound?
[03:29] <tanath> garden92, what kind of videos? what player? what about other audio?
[03:29] <garden92> yes
[03:29] <garden92> online
[03:30] <garden92> gnash swf player
[03:31] <naked89tt> What's the difference between 32bit and 64bit?
[03:31] <escott> naked89tt, its for different kinds of processors. 64bit processors can run the 32bit version
[03:31] <xangua> garden92: uninstall gnash and swf player and install adobe flashplugin
[03:32] <w30> naked89tt, 64-32=32 ?
[03:32] <naked89tt> escott, Is 64bit faster than 32bit?
[03:32] <zykotick9> naked89tt, for something yes
[03:33] <escott> naked89tt, it depends on the application. in some cases it can be slower
[03:33] <zykotick9> naked89tt, the biggest difference is that you can address more memory (>3.2GB)
[03:33] <w30> naked89tt, it's 2011. It's time to go 64 bit even though Ballmer isn't in any hurry. Linux is ready.
[03:34] <escott> naked89tt, but even that isn't really true as you can have >4gb in 32bit, but a single process can only use 4gb
[03:34] <naked89tt> zykotick9, oh,I have only 2G RAM,can I run 64bit system
[03:34] <rumpel> naked89tt, yes
[03:35] <escott> naked89tt, if you have the livecd run "cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep flags | grep lm" if it prints something out you can install 64bit
[03:35] <rumpel> naked89tt, if your hardware is 64bit, use 64bit.
[03:35] <tanath> naked89tt, but you don't need 64-bit 'til you get more than 3gb ram
[03:35] <zykotick9> naked89tt, you can (i do on my netbook) but i'd recommend 32bit you you're not planning on upgrading you RAM
[03:35] <w30> naked89tt, there is a way with get-libs to run a 32bit program that's not available in 64 bit. But even flash is 64bit now
[03:36] <zykotick9> naked89tt, s/you/if/
[03:37] <theborger> hey i got a startup file in /etc/init.d/ and i can start it by hand, but it is not starting on starup
[03:37] <escott> theborger, you might need to use rc.update
[03:37] <naked89tt> I don't want to upgrade RAM to >2G,so isn't 64bit good for me?
[03:37] <zykotick9> naked89tt, because of the increase in address space programs take up more space then there 32bit counterparts
[03:37] <MoMo> when i type mail -- i see my mail, but what is the name of the 'mailbox'?
[03:37] <escott> theborger, rather update-rc.d
[03:37] <garden92> im running ubuntu in windows vista is there a way i can transfer files from vista to ubuntu?
[03:38] <urlin2u> garden92, yes hold on.
[03:38] <escott> garden92, install the guest extensions
[03:38] <Lasers> Interesting question: Anyone use VLC to watch TV? (Assuming you have proper TV Tuner or whatever?)
[03:38] <bobweaver> garden92: remotely
[03:39] <urlin2u> garden92, is it a wubi or a virtual install?
[03:39] <garden92> wubi
[03:39] <theborger> escott: you are the Man
[03:39] <theborger> escott++
[03:39] <tanath> Lasers, can't wait 'til it's online? :P
[03:39] <urlin2u> garden92, I think vista is in media in ubuntu, and the wubi has its own file in Vista.
[03:40] <Lasers> tanath: I want to reduce stuffs. If I can do that, I'll sell my TV. :3
[03:40] <tanath> Lasers, you know you can get tv shows online, yes?
[03:40] <escott> garden92, that wubi loopback nonsense makes things harder. check if the windows partition is listed in the output of "mount" if it is not, then it is not safe for you to access the windows partition
[03:41] <tpyo> anyone know if ntop has a channel?
[03:41] <xangua> !alis | tpyo
[03:41] <Lasers> tanath: Yah. I think I prefer it on the monitor. Small-sized window. Instead of huge 40 TV as a background noise. :o
[03:41] <theborger> anyone in here an alsa guy?  I have my hdmi audio card setup for audio to come out of it. Upon a reboot it defaults back to the wrong one. anyone have an idea on this?
[03:41] <zykotick9> escott, i don't think "mount" will show it - but the menus used to have a "host system" or something entry
[03:41] <xangua> escott: the easier would be make a real ubuntu install, with it's own partiton
[03:41] <theborger> that is the last problem i have to fix
[03:42] <xangua> escott: you can then use one of those program to make windows able to read and write ext4 filesystem
[03:42] <garden92> urlin2u: where is media?
[03:42] <tanath> Lasers, i sold my tv a while back :P
[03:42] <escott> xangua, garden92 had the question
[03:43] <xangua> sorry, read the above i said garden92 ;)
[03:43] <tanath> Lasers, if you want to watch something big, you can hook comp up to tv and play it...
[03:44] <w30> Lasers, you can use vlc for tv or any video stuff. mplayer too. or something like the tvtime application
[03:44] <RageSith> lo everyone, i have a simple but not ubuntu only related question: how may i force a shellscript to execute itself from a special dir?
[03:44] <naked89tt> DOes this channel support ipv6
[03:45] <w30> Lasers with a tv tuner card that is.
[03:45] <escott> RageSith, why not just add a "cd" command at the start of the script
[03:45] <urlin2u> garden92, I'm not sure if that is where its at but look in file from home, as others have suggested a partitioned install is better, you might want to know the Wubi designers Agostino Rossi's opinion, basically it is for trying out ubuntu not a long term install.
[03:46] <tanath> example: my battery is at 68%. i just unplugged and it immediately decided battery was critically low and supsended on me. >_<
[03:46] <theborger> is there no /etc/asound.conf on 10.04 ?
[03:46] <Lasers> w30: Thank you for tvtime. I'm looking at cards. Do you use a card in particular?
[03:46] <urlin2u> garden92, here is an interview with him. http://howsoftwareisbuilt.com/2009/03/12/interview-with-agostino-russo-wubi-ubuntu/
[03:47] <RageSith> thanks :) havent expected to be really that simple
[03:47] <w30> Haupage 350 I think if I remember right
[03:48] <tanath> and it now thinks there's an hour remaining
[03:48] <w30> Lasers, conexant CX8801 chip anyway
[03:48] <escott> theborger, the alsa settings should be saved by the alsa-store/restore scripts. I don't know if they save the selected device setting though
[03:49] <RageSith> escott: how i may now say init.d to start those 2 manually added shellscripts on boot automaticly?
[03:49] <tanath> ubuntu keeps warning me my laptop battery is critically low even when it's not. and it doesn't matter if i hit ok or cancel, it shuts it down anyway. doesn't matter if i plug it in first. doesn't matter what percentage it's at.
[03:49] <theborger> escott: yea alsa-store etc does not work. keeps defaulting back to the other card
[03:49] <zykotick9> w30, hauppauge 350 is an analogue tuner - not sure how much use that would be these days (at least in North America)
[03:49] <escott> tanath, it may just have bad statistics. you could let it run down and get better statistics to replace the old ones, or try and find the stats database and remove it
[03:50] <tanath> escott, i suspect it does. i had it on charger for extended period
[03:50] <escott> RageSith, /etc/rc.local
[03:50] <tanath> escott, letting it run down is bad for battery though
[03:51] <garden92> to the people talking about tv. if you have a PS3 or bluray player, tversity is great at streaming media to TV.
[03:51] <RageSith> escott: do i have to enter the fullpath or only the name and params? all both scripts already stored in /etc/init.d/
[03:51] <escott> RageSith, its good practice to include the full path
[03:51] <theborger> escott: what file are the sound preferences saved in? what .conf controlls this?
[03:52] <escott> theborger, i don't know. i just know the alsa-*store scripts handle it. you might want to read them
[03:52] <w30> Lasers, put this in /e/tc/tvtime/tvtime.xml:    <option name="MixerDevice" value="hw:0/Line"/>   for volume control
[03:52] <SnoStorm> Hi mounted my external using fstab correctly and it is identified. The problem I'm having is when i open it there are no files.
[03:53] <SnoStorm> btw i'm a ubuntu noob
[03:53] <Lasers> w30: Back. Do you know if you can view closed captions with TVtime? You can try that right now?
[03:53] <theborger> escott: yea it is kind of an odd problem. and it would take me a while to describe the whole thing to you
[03:53] <Scunizi> How do I configure my network on unity for gigabit?
[03:54] <w30> Lasers,options are available by rt clicking on the screen
[03:54] <w30> Lasers, it's in there
[03:54] <D00dleCakez420> hello
[03:54] <urlin2u> SnoStorm, fstab open the partion put there automatically, you rebooted since adding it?
[03:54] <Lasers> w30: I see it. I don't have the card. That's why I'm asking. Also, new to tvtime. :)
[03:55] <w30> Lasers, under input configuration
[03:55] <D00dleCakez420> what are yall talking about
[03:55] <SnoStorm> I rebooted a few times
[03:55] <D00dleCakez420> y'all@
[03:55] <urlin2u> s/opens/partition
[03:56] <garden92> urlin2u: and xangua: im on a shared computer and just want a few folders from vista. is a full install the only way?
[03:56] <urlin2u> SnoStorm, if you right click the icon showing and properties does it show a data amount?
[03:56] <Guest83821> Is there any way when I'm editing a theme that I can select an area (such as Chrome - inspect elements) and have it show me which CSS file that selected area is utilizing? I CANNOT find out how to change the text color entry in this theme and it is driving me insane.
[03:56] <Lasers> w30: Thank you. I'll look into cards now. What would you recommend (for the card?)
[03:56] <SnoStorm> urlin2u, yes it does.... shows i have 125 of my ~250gb left
[03:57] <urlin2u> garden92, you can access ubuntu wubi from vista and vice versa, most on here don't use wubi I think you will have to figure it out.
[03:58] <SnoStorm> I've had it show the files and then it just randomly stops doing so.
[03:58] <SnoStorm> fresh reboot it shows them
[03:58] <D00dleCakez420> i dont like cornbread
[03:59] <urlin2u> SnoStorm, hmm sounds like something is amiss, not sure what myself.
[04:02] <tanath> i'm suddenly getting this after every terminal command i run: http://pastebin.com/e4YMCXWS
[04:02] <D00dleCakez420> dsf
[04:03] <SnoStorm> urlin2u, it is working now.... adding to my mediatomb but lets see how long it holds up
[04:04] <urlin2u> SnoStorm, sure personally I don't put my externals in fstab, I want to have control without the terminal, not auto mounted.
[04:04] <urlin2u> and*
[04:04] <tpyo> how do i find out my ip on ubuntu?
[04:04] <tanath> tpyo, ifconfig
[04:05] <Affi-Davit> @ tpyo - ifconfig
[04:05] <tanath> tpyo, for local ip. ifconfig.me for public
[04:05] <SnoStorm> urlin2u, it was the easiest way i found for permissions to be relaxed on the drive so i could scan the files off it for mediatomb
[04:05] <Scunizi> How do I configure my network connection on unity for gigabit?  Router is already gigbit and network card in the computer is capable but defaults at 10/100
[04:06] <diabolical_> how to bridge from wlan0 to eth0
[04:06] <diabolical_> i keep cant bridge
[04:06] <tpyo> thank you tanath and Affi-Davit! :)
[04:07] <tanath> can anyone help me with this? i get it after every terminal command: http://pastebin.com/e4YMCXWS
[04:07] <w30> Lasers, check out http://linuxhcl.com  (linux hardware compatibility list)
[04:08] <escott> tanath, what terminal emulator are you using? and what shell?
[04:08] <tanath> escott, guake/zsh
[04:09] <escott> tanath, its probably a bug in guake then. if it doesnt happen in gnome-terminal with zsh that would confirm it
[04:10] <tanath> escott, hm, yeah. not in GT
[04:11] <tanath> escott, restarting guake doesn't help. :-/
[04:11] <tpyo> anyone know much about ntop in here?
[04:11] <jincreator> Has anyone know why there's no update about Firefox 8 for over the week?
[04:11] <tpyo> im wondering if it is suitable to collect information on an entire network
[04:11] <tpyo> or if it only collects information from the client it is installed upon
[04:12] <tanath> escott, reinstalling doesn't help either...
[04:15] <Affi-Davit> man is there any way to turn of login/logoff irc chatter?
[04:15] <Affi-Davit> its been awhile
[04:15] <Affi-Davit> off*
[04:16] <Logan_> Affi-Davit: Which client are you using?
[04:16] <Affi-Davit> mIRC
[04:16] <Logan_> !windows | Affi-Davit
[04:16] <tanath> um, my battery stats chart has the line go back in time and overlap itself at one point... o_O
[04:17] <Affi-Davit> thanks
[04:18] <tonyyarusso> Affi-Davit: Any decent IRC client should have an ignore feature - you just have to find out how to use yours.
[04:19] <Affi-Davit> @tony - im sure there is... its just been awhile since ive used this
[04:20] <Icehawk78> I've got a fresh install of 11.10, but when I run sudo apt-get update, I get a number of GPG BADSIG errors from various sources

[04:23] <Affi-Davit> @diabol - how are you bridging them?
[04:24] <diabolical_> device wlan0 is not a slave of br0

[04:31] <Affi-Davit> thankies
[04:31] <urlin2u> no problem Affi-Davit
[04:31] <vey> Greetings. New here just flushing the taint of m$ from my harddrive
[04:33] <urlin2u> !m$
[04:33] <diabolical_> Affi-Davit: ok i am getting my network access via wireless going into a wired network hmmm i have no ath0 not using master mode
[04:33] <vey> Alrighty then
[04:33] <diabolical_> like wireless internet to a wired network
[04:34] <urlin2u> vey, not all open source users like to wank on the others it's cool. :D
[04:35] <walruscode> Hey, I just started to get this error: "cannot access *.sh: No such file or directory" when using a wildcard in Terminal. This hasn't happened before, could someone tell me what might be causing this?
[04:35] <vey> urlin2u, been using that microsoft contraction for a long time. hehe
[04:36] <aaronrgod> Does any one know what the deal with the Gnome IRC server is?
[04:37] <xangua> aaronrgod: the deal¿
[04:37] <urlin2u> aarcane, heard it was made by martians what do you mean?
[04:37] <aaronrgod> XChat can't locate irc.gnome.org as a host name. :/
[04:38] <JGAN> hey again
[04:38] <JGAN> is my crontab format correct?
[04:38] <JGAN> i want a shell script i wrote to run every five minutes, so i did
[04:39] <JGAN> */5 * * * * /bin/sh /home/user/Desktop/script
[04:39] <yoaino3v> I'm not sure whats "really" going on with my computer, it seems my desktop is locking up fully.  And the only way to "un-freeze" the desktop is press the power button to make it ask if (I would like to shutdown or restart) and it will stop hanging up.  Could this be a power issue, or hardware issue ? I haven't nuked anything or removed anything by "cleaning".  Just wondering what could  be going on.
[04:39] <JGAN> and half the time i dont think it works
[04:39] <JGAN> is it ok?

[04:41] <ac_slater> My system is crashing when ubuntu is calling `efibootmgr` any known solutions??
[04:41] <urlin2u> yoaino3v, are you running a lot of stuff overdriving the ram, or is it random.
[04:41] <escott> walruscode, can you !paste the actual shell command
[04:42] <yoaino3v> Not running hardly anything, it seems to happen when the pc is let alone.  I have the screen saver set for 50 mins.
[04:42] <escott> JGAN, that looks correct, but you could make the script log when it runs to verify for yourself
[04:42] <walruscode> escott, It's just "chmod +x *.sh", must I !paste it?
[04:42] <yoaino3v> It happens in about 3 mins
[04:42] <JGAN> escott how do i do that?
[04:43] <urlin2u> yoaino3v, what the cpu and memory amounts?
[04:43] <escott> walruscode, so there are no .sh files in that folder. the shell doesn't match anything and passes *.sh unexpanded as an argument to chmod which gives the error
[04:43] <urlin2u> of your computer yoaino3v
[04:44] <escott> JGAN, at the beginning of the script you could do echo "started `date`" >> logfile.txt
[04:44] <JGAN> thats all?
[04:45] <escott> JGAN, that would log when it gets started, you may also want to log when it stops
[04:45] <JGAN> ok i think i can go from here
[04:45] <JGAN> thanks escott :)
[04:45] <JGAN> night all
[04:45] <selite> Hello, my machine is overheating with Ubuntu and I couldn't find any solution for it. Can anyone help me?
[04:46] <yoaino3v> @ URLIN2U > http://pastebin.com/UrdMqX3V
[04:46] <tpyo> wow i thought id just build and make ntop..... 7 dependancies later.... i need like 5 more
[04:46] <tpyo> i guess i'll leave this till tomorrow
[04:46] <walruscode> escott, you are correct, I'm an idiot. I thought I extracted several bash scripts to that folder but I guess I didn't. D:
[04:46] <tpyo> i wish apt-get got everything
[04:46] <walruscode> I'll just show myself the door. :P
[04:46] <tpyo> but ntop doesn't appear to be supported on it D:
[04:47] <tpyo> im guessing that apt-get is the "newer" mechanism of installing stuffs?
[04:47] <tpyo> (im relatively newish to linux)
[04:48] <dejavou42> I'm having a problem with gdm/xserver
[04:48] <tpyo> whereas ./configure make make install is the more old school mechanism of installing stuff
[04:48] <dejavou42> I have installed a new motherboard and installed the intel drivers
[04:48] <escott> tpyo, you should not be building stuff by hand
[04:49] <dejavou42> gdm starts and the login screen looks normal, but when gnome loads, the window is flipped (upside down) and mirrored
[04:49] <tpyo> escott, really? i couldn't seem to find another mechanism to get ntop
[04:49] <vey> Can someone point me out to a tutorial on the graphical interface? I don't know how you call them, shells ? I just know I have unity and I'd like to have the one I had in 10.11
[04:49] <escott> tpyo, you should install everything through apt-get. if you dont do that you can mess up your system
[04:49] <tpyo> they only offer a demo compilation for windows system and then thats limited, otherwise one has to grab their latest source code
[04:49] <dariushall21> Hello everyone. I just installed Windows onto my computer and I'm trying to reinstall 11.10 along side it, and it won't load the installer.
[04:49] <escott> tpyo, have you already done a ./configure; make; make install?
[04:49] <tpyo> and to build that i've had to install a crap ton of libs
[04:49] <tpyo> several times now
[04:50] <tpyo> but still not there
[04:50] <tpyo> i have more dependancies to work through :D
[04:50] <dejavou42> I have tried running Xorg -configure and copying the xorg.conf.new to /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:50] <escott> tpyo, ntop is in the repositories you should just apt-get install ntop
[04:50] <yoaino3v> hello?
[04:51] <tpyo> shit
[04:51] <tpyo> :D
[04:51] <escott> dariushall21, what happens before it fails to load?
[04:51] <tpyo> i must have typed it wrong
[04:51] <dejavou42> anyone?
[04:51] <tpyo> where can i see the list?
[04:51] <tpyo> so i can clarify
[04:51] <tpyo> if i mess up like this again
[04:52] <escott> tpyo, if you have done a make install already you have placed files into system libraries that apt knows nothing about, and they may be incompatible with the libraries that apt would want to put there. you should audit the files in /usr against the dpkg database of files
[04:52] <escott> tpyo, you can use a gui like synaptic to browse the full list of available software
[04:53] <dariushall21> escott, it opens up the little menu it goes to when it attempts to install then it goes black and doesn't do anything else.
[04:53]  * ejv misses the wild wild west days of no package management whatsoever
[04:53] <escott> tpyo, but in almost every case installing outside of apt is the wrong thing to do. the universe of available software should cover almost any need you have
[04:53] <tpyo> thanks esccott, how do i audit?
[04:53] <tpyo> just to double check when i checked out linux like.... er... mebbe a decade ago apt-get wasn't about?
[04:54] <escott> tpyo, so if you know what you make installed, and you still have the build directory you can make uninstall
[04:54] <escott> tpyo, other versions of linux use other tools. so redhat uses rpm and yum, but the same principles hold
[04:54] <escott> dariushall21, what does that menu say
[04:55] <tpyo> okay but if i make uninstall now, after i apt-getted ntop might that make uninstall of the items i previously installed ruin my apt-get of ntop?
[04:55] <tpyo> if that makes sense
[04:55] <dariushall21> escott, it's the menu that has the symbols down the bottom, I don't know how to explain it.
[04:56] <escott> tpyo, yes it probably would which is why doing things outside of apt is discouraged
[04:56] <sirjake> Hi all. Newb here...  I have a Thinkpad T60. I can't adjust the eraser head mouse speed. The built in mouse settings only seem to affect the touchpad. Where do I go to change that?
[04:56] <tpyo> escott, thanks for informing me thusly, I appreciate it :)
[04:56] <escott> dariushall21, like the keyboard symbol and the human davinci symbol?
[04:57] <tpyo> luckily this is mostly a test box so I can easily re-install should things be faulty
[04:57] <yoaino3v> Was I forgot about?
[04:57] <escott> tpyo, depending on how critical the programs you were manually installing are (and how many there were) you can perhaps safely ignore the issue. a few files won't be the apt version, and some programs may crash from time to time, but hopefully its not critical
[04:57] <bullgard4_> How can I determine the modification time of  'man 1 gnome-desktop-item-edit'?
[04:58] <dejavou42> ok, so when compiz is on, my screen becomes mirrored and flipped upside down
[04:58] <dariushall21> Escott, yes I think that would be the most accurate description
[04:58] <escott> tpyo, otherwise you have to dig through the list of installed programs with dpkg --get-selections, and for each of them dig through the files with dpkg -L and then diff that with what is on your hard drive
[04:59] <escott> dariushall21, sounds like plymouth, and you say it goes black
[04:59] <yoaino3v> guess so I'm leaving
[04:59] <escott> dariushall21, i think that is after modeset so nomodeset in the boot options probably won't help (but you could try it)
[05:00] <escott> dariushall21, you could also try to hit the up arrow when the plymouth screen first appears and see if you can see any text prior to the black screen
[05:00] <tpyo> escott, that sounds horrible, I think if I have problems i'll just restall
[05:01] <tpyo> going back to ntop... does anyone know how it captures data so that I might trawl the data to represent it in a friendlier fashion?
[05:01] <escott> sirjake, you could see if it is adjustable in the xinput command line tool
[05:03] <escott> sirjake, xinput list; find your device; xinput list-props ##; find the property xinput set-int-prop ...
[05:03] <sirjake> escott, how do I do that? When I type xinput in the terminal, it just gives me a lot of lists that require the device name...
[05:03] <sirjake> Ahh...
[05:04] <dariushall21> escott, so what would you suggest I do?
[05:04] <escott> sirjake, the xinput can be a bit unforgiving about the "format" specifier for integer properties, and the proper width never seems to be listed. so i just try them all
[05:04] <escott> dariushall21, start with the up arrow, and if thats not working try the nomodeset
[05:04] <escott> !modeset | dariushall21
[05:04] <escott> !nomodeset | dariushall21
[05:06] <Roasted> Is there a way to search all context of all of my text files for a certain phrase?
[05:07] <escott> Roasted, grep
[05:07] <Roasted> escott, I want to search for what files have F7A145 in them (looking for a hex code) how would I do that exactly?
[05:07] <escott> Roasted, if the phrase is particularly long, and might span lines grep may not be appropriate
[05:07] <dariushall21> Oh, okay. So escott, my computer isn't running the stock on board graphics card, should I put it onto that and see if that helps?
[05:08] <escott> Roasted, so if it is exactly typed like that grep "F7A145" *.txt
[05:08] <Roasted> escott, it might be more than just .txt. could I do *.*?
[05:09] <escott> dariushall21, if you have a laptop with two graphics cards, you will find things much easier to work with if you change the bios setting to embedded
[05:09] <escott> Roasted, sure grep pattern *
[05:09] <Roasted> escott, what am I forgetting? > grep "F7A145" *.*
[05:09] <sirjake> escott, thanks for your help. I'm on the right track now. Found a Thinkpad specific tutorial for editing xinput with the keywords you gave. Much appreciated.
[05:10] <pipalo> How can I upgrade libraries ? say babl.
[05:11] <escott> pipalo, apt will upgrade them when the newer versions are required/released for your ubuntu version
[05:11] <pipalo> what if I want to get dev version ?
[05:12] <pipalo> I want to compile gimp and I did 'apt-get build-dep gimp' but I get configure: error: Package requirements (babl >= 0.1.4) were not met:
[05:12] <pipalo> Requested 'babl >= 0.1.4' but version of babl is 0.0.22
[05:13] <escott> pipalo, then you should manually install it to /usr/local, and recompile any programs that reference the library or do library path things to have two versions
[05:14] <escott> Roasted, so that command will search any file in your current folder for that text string (exact matches only)
[05:15] <dejavou42> I need a bit of help, when I turn compiz on my screen appears flipped like this http://img94.imageshack.us/img94/7263/ohgodo.png
[05:16] <pipalo> escott: aight, cheers.
[05:17] <dejavou42> with compiz off everything looks fine
[05:17] <escott> dejavou42, awesome!!! do you happen to know if you have some kind of rotation configured with xrandr prior to starting compiz?
[05:17] <dejavou42> http://pastebin.com/awBDgxdC
[05:17] <dejavou42> ^ my xorg.conf
[05:18] <dejavou42> escott: don't believe so
[05:18] <escott> dejavou42, it seems like some kind of bug in your glx/compiz stack, because no plugin should allow each subwindow to be drawn upside down
[05:18] <ImTheDude> thats weird
[05:19] <escott> dejavou42, if you run glxgears (when compiz is off) what color gear is on top?
[05:19] <ImTheDude> what command does that where you can turn the screen upside down i cant remember it?
[05:19] <dariushall21> escott no, im on a desktop with a stock onboard and an upgraded one.
[05:20] <dejavou42> blue
[05:20] <scrote> moin.
[05:20] <scrote> I'm looking for a program like watch but a more precise interval finer than seconds.  Also it would be nice if it would log the changes (or keep displayed on stdout) incase they occur faster than the eye can notice.
[05:20] <escott> ImTheDude, xrandr, but his screen is not upside down, each window (and each subwindow) is upside down
[05:20] <escott> dariushall21, well thats correct
[05:20] <orlok> I'm looking for a way to re-enable ufw if it has been disabled for a set period of time.. Any suggestions?
[05:20] <escott> dejavou42, ^^^ not dariushall21
[05:20] <dejavou42> escott: right and the mouse works correctly too
[05:21] <bb916> scrote: Don't think there is one but it's easy in bash
[05:21] <ImTheDude> no im saying in general
[05:21] <ImTheDude> my friends used to do it to me when i was in school
[05:22] <scrote> bb916: just keep looping it ?
[05:22] <Ghost1227> I just wrote a .desktop file for Unity, and while the default action works, alternate actions don't. However, a similar one I based it on works fine. Can someone take a look and see if I'm missing something obvious? The .desktop is posted here -> http://pastebin.com/1FBXeTVF
[05:22] <escott> dejavou42, i would nuke your .compiz and .compiz-1 folders just in case there is something screwy there, and maybe also do a unity --reset
[05:22] <bb916> scrote: it's been a while, but yes I think just a normal while loop will work
[05:22] <cbilljones> Im trying to stream 1080p over wireless N, ubuntu 11.10 on both machines; using Apache2 webserver and totem to play; get the odd stutter - i notice bandwith seems to be capping at 2 MB/s, can anyone point me in the right direction?
[05:23] <dejavou42> escott: let me give it a try
[05:23] <escott> dariushall21, its hard to say what exactly the problem is without some text to describe the error. modesetting is a possibility
[05:23] <scrote> bb916: yes while loop, and the diff command comparing previous results with current output.  thanks for the tip.
[05:23] <sirjake> Ah, eraserhead mouse settings fixed. Thanks again, escott! I'm out.
[05:24] <CodeWar> Is there a way to create partitions for packages created using apt-get such that at runtime I can choose between two separate versions
[05:24] <dejavou42> escott: not finding a .compiz-1 folder
[05:24] <dejavou42> should it be in home as well?
[05:24] <CodeWar> for e.g., I use my Ubuntu 11.10 for building kernel and for regular usage and I d rather packages from one didn't interfere with the other, a virtual machine just for this seemed overkill
[05:24] <escott> dejavou42, it would if it exists, you might not have one
[05:25] <cbilljones> Im trying to stream 1080p over wireless N, ubuntu 11.10 on both machines; using Apache2 webserver and totem to play; get the odd stutter - i notice bandwith seems to be capping at 2 MB/s, can anyone point me in the right direction?  I am using a USB wireless card on server as a secong net connection, it connects to a DD-WRT router that doesnt have internet access; just for media streaming
[05:25] <escott> CodeWar, chroot
[05:25] <dejavou42> escott: and unity is not installed
[05:25] <bullgard4_> How can I determine the modification time of  'man 1 gnome-desktop-item-edit'?
[05:25] <passwordtryit> wow
[05:26] <CodeWar> escott, thanks it does look like hwat I want let me read up more on it
[05:26] <dejavou42> escott: Ok, I renamed .compiz to .comp_old
[05:27] <xc0ffee> hey.. is there a shortcut in ubuntu unity to switch between tabs in current workspace?
[05:27] <dejavou42> and I still have the same thing
[05:27] <escott> bullgard4_, ls -l `locate gnome-desktop-item-edit | grep man`
[05:28] <escott> dejavou42, you could file a bug, but since you dont have unity, you clearly have an older version of ubuntu. it may have already been fixed in newer versions and just not pushed back to your release
[05:29] <myron> escott: nope newest version
[05:30] <escott> dejavou42, ok... are you running xubuntu or something? how do you have compiz but no unity?
[05:31] <lorddelta> escott: I run compiz with no Unity, 11.10 (well, its mostly gnome shell anyhow). There's a little checkbox in the settings panel. >_>
[05:31] <escott> dejavou42_term, in any case its definitely a bug, and it doesnt seem to be in your glx drivers, so it must be compiz that is flipping the images before drawing them
[05:31] <Ghost1227> no ideas?
[05:32] <escott> lorddelta, gnome-shell doesnt use compiz... thats why im confused
[05:32] <dejavou42_term> escott: I'm running 10.04,
[05:33] <lorddelta> escott: Whatever this stuff on top/bottom is, I just assumed (come to think of it probably incorrectly) that it was gnome-shell, since I heard they changed it all to gnome3? Anyways the crappy dock is gone.
[05:33] <cbilljones> ghost1227 im no expert on that, but i can try; can you pastebin the file that works
[05:33] <lorddelta> escott: if that's not unity, then I've learned something useful :)
[05:33] <Ghost1227> cbilljones: sure
[05:34] <daleharvey> can I have emacs not open as a new gtk window when I start it from the terminal
[05:34] <lorddelta> escott: And I keep most of the effects turned off, about the only 3D thing my desktop does is the ring switcher.
[05:34] <dejavou42> escott: when I run unity --reset it tells me command not found
[05:34] <escott> lorddelta, if you are using gnome-shell then mutter is your compositor, if you use unity it is compiz
[05:34] <daleharvey> I just have export EDITOR=emacs and every time I commit a new window flies up
[05:35] <dimm> dabear, yes, you can!
[05:35] <lorddelta> escott: Ah, so I'll understand Unity is no longer just a compiz plugin then.
[05:35] <Ghost1227> cbilljones: http://pastebin.com/6htKUxXY
[05:36] <Roasted> escott, sorry, I was here in another name a fewm inutes ago about the grep thing with the hex value. I never did get it working. It kept returning an error.
[05:36] <escott> Roasted, what error
[05:36] <lorddelta> escott: I thought they'd done something like just used the shell and stuck compiz+unity plugin, but I haven't bothered looking at the source.
[05:36] <tonyalmeida> I'm coming?
[05:37] <escott> lorddelta, well unity does have a compiz plugin component, but its more than a compiz plugin.
[05:37] <tonyalmeida> yes!
[05:37] <Roasted> escott, just no such file or dir. I want to search my ENTIRE system though
[05:38] <dejavou42> escott: I was wrong, I am using 10.04,  unity didn't come out till 11 correct?
[05:38] <Roasted> dejavou42, 11.04
[05:38] <escott> Roasted, so grepping the entire system will be slow. usually you want an indexing system to scan, but that kind of system will skip hex patterns like the one you described so its grep or nothing grep -r pattern /
[05:38] <Roasted> escott, I'm looking for a hex value within a certain folder. It's just a theme folder.
[05:38] <tonyalmeida> ?
[05:38] <escott> dejavou42, right so the compiz support is a lot better from 10.04 -> 11.10 and its probably fixed by now
[05:39] <escott> dejavou42, you could see if anyone else reported it in launchpad by searching for any closed bugs or try a live cd
[05:39] <lorddelta> Roasted: I'm not a grep expert, but couldn't you just index the system, do a folder, grep, and pipe that through a hex grep?
[05:39] <lorddelta> (assuming its already indexed)
[05:40] <Roasted> lorddelta, trying the grep -r now on the specific theme folder... been running for a bit now...
[05:40] <Roasted> lorddelta, already indexed? how would I have indexed it? *shrug*
[05:40] <cbilljones> ghost1227 can i PM you?
[05:40] <dejavou42> escott: I'm going to hate this in a few minutes but I'll try an upgrade to 11.10
[05:40] <lorddelta> Roasted: good question. I hang out in here to learn things about my system I usually wouldn't know.
[05:41] <escott> dejavou42, before blindly jumping into an upgrade do check the release notes. its a very different desktop system
[05:41] <Ghost1227> cbilljones: of course
[05:42] <lorddelta> Roasted: I know there are several processes that seem to like reading files on my computer, one of them being updatedb.mlocate, I suspect this is an indexer.
[05:42] <Roasted> man this is taking forever
[05:42] <dejavou42> escott: that's fine, I've played with 11.10 on another box, but everytime I upgrade, something gets broken
[05:42] <dejavou42> escott: I should be able to work through whatever the upgrade throws my way. I've been with ubuntu since 8.04 :)
[05:43] <urlin2u> dejavou42, why would you upgrade then when fresh installs are much faster.
[05:44] <lorddelta> Roasted: I feel for you. Google + better organization usually == less time to find shit, for me.
[05:44] <dejavou42> urlin2u: not for me, I have a lot of stuff customized, and it would take a while to get it all back
[05:45] <urlin2u> dejavou42, probably not your just used to doing it that way, only so many customozations follow a upgrade.
[05:45] <ice_> hello
[05:46] <stevecam> i have my screen hooked up to my PC through a DVI to HDMI cable, i am now missing the edges of my screen
[05:46] <urlin2u> dejavou42, if it works for you cool i would not put up with broken stuff is all.
[05:47] <dejavou42> urlin2u: you're probably right, but I like to fix the broken stuff rather than put up with it :)
[05:47] <urlin2u> lol gives you something to do.
[05:47] <urlin2u> :D
[05:48] <dejavou42> I know it's more headache than its worth, but I just don't like to start "fresh" unless I absolutely have to
[05:48] <lorddelta> dejavou42: hear hear!
[05:48] <lorddelta> You learn more that way too.
[05:48] <dejavou42> yup
[05:49] <ryan_46> Does anyone know how to get bluetile window manager to run? I can only do it via a work around.
[05:49] <dejavou42> brb going to restart
[05:49] <lorddelta> Which is part of the reason I'm running Linux, not Windows; I like to be able to do more shit with my OS rather than less, relying on other people for my updates/customization is not why I switched.
[05:50] <pangolin> lorddelta: Please mind your language
[05:50] <lorddelta> pangolin: Sorry! Just how I speak. But I will make more of an effort.
[05:50] <urlin2u> stevecam, does the monitor have a auto resize?
[05:51] <stevecam> no, that option is not available
[05:55] <shaxs> Hello everyone!
[05:56] <dejavou42> what did they replace plymoth with?
[05:58] <shaxs> Quick question. I am getting some pretty horrid performance on Ubuntu 11.10. The mouse movement is super choppy. It reminds me as if I am remoting into the desktop over an internet connection. Keyboard input lags a little too
[05:58] <shaxs> I am running on pretty old hardware. AMD Athlon 64 3000+, 2 gb ram, and a 40 gb IDE (Yes IDE) hard drive.
[05:59] <shaxs> Do you think replacing the CPU with a dual core would help?
[06:00] <bullgard4_> shaxs: I have heard similar complaints recently. Please file a bug report in Launchpad against gnome-shell. --  I myself have a powerful Thnkpad notebook computer and cannot complain.
[06:01] <neronin> Is there a simple way to disable gdm/gnome so i start right away at CLI. I still want to have the opportunity to start gnome later though
[06:02] <somsip_> !text | neronin
[06:02] <tonyalmeida> ?
[06:02] <cbilljones> Im trying to stream 1080p over wireless N, ubuntu 11.10 on both machines; using Apache2 webserver and totem to play; get the odd stutter - i notice bandwith seems to be capping at 2 MB/s, can anyone point me in the right direction?  I am using a USB wireless card on server as a secong net connection, it connects to a DD-WRT router that doesnt have internet access; just for media streaming
[06:02] <neronin> somsip_:  ok i will try that out, thanks
[06:03] <shaxs> bullgard4, I am just building a media server for my XBMC htpcs, so I dont need a fancy box. Should I switch over to 10.4?
[06:03] <lng> hi! I have mysql client issue: # mysql >>> The program 'mysql' can be found in the following packages: * mysql-client-core-5.1; * mysql-cluster-client-5.1; Try: apt-get install <selected package>. But when I try to install it, I have: mysql-client is already the newest version.
[06:04] <lng> I cleaned my sustem of mysql after purge / delete to compile mysql from source
[06:04] <lng> I used rm
[06:04] <tonyyarusso> lng: So you're attempting to run the one you compiled then?
[06:05] <lng> tonyyarusso: I compiled the server, not mysql client
[06:06] <tonyyarusso> lng: Okay, so where do you think you have the client installed from?
[06:06] <Lasers> cbilljones: 1080p over WiFi? .__.
[06:06] <cbilljones> Lasers i almost got it, just the odd stutter
[06:06] <lng> tonyyarusso: client was installed long before
[06:07] <lng> tonyyarusso: then I rmoved it with apt-get delete / purge
[06:07] <tonyyarusso> lng: delete, or remove?
[06:07] <lng> tonyyarusso: both
[06:07] <bullgard4_> shaxs: You can use Ubuntu 10.04 instead, yes. --  An alternative solution would be to refrain from a graphical user interface in your media server, if you are content with the command-line onloy.
[06:08] <shaxs> bullgard4 me = linux n00b!
[06:08] <bullgard4_> s/onloy/only
[06:08] <shaxs> But I will say I am impressed. I am building a software raid 1 right now
[06:08] <neronin> somsip_:  can i add that "text" in a conf file somewhere? I cant access my grub menu at boot (broken monitor..)
[06:08] <shaxs> doing my resync right now
[06:08] <tonyyarusso> lng: So you're running 'apt-get install mysql-client-5.1' and getting an error?
[06:09] <lng> tonyyarusso: exactly as I wrote
[06:09] <bullgard4_> shaxs: If you are a Linux neophyte then probably it is easier for you to use Ubuntu 10.04 for your purpose.
[06:09] <tonyyarusso> lng: You didn't write how you were trying to install it.
[06:10] <shaxs> bullgard4 so this software raid I built, can I transition it over to 10.4 easily?
[06:10] <lng> tonyyarusso: I did
[06:10] <shaxs> Or will I need to start the raid from scratch?
[06:10] <tonyyarusso> lng: um, where?
[06:10] <lng> apt-get install ...
[06:10] <tonyyarusso> lng: apt-get install WHAT?
[06:10] <iceroot> shaxs: rsync for building a raid?
[06:10] <lng> mysql-client
[06:11] <bullgard4_> shaxs: I do not know. Please ask others.
[06:11] <iceroot> lng: what is the output of "apt-cache policy mysql-client"
[06:11] <tonyyarusso> lng: Yeah, the mysql-client package is installed, exactly as it told you.  It's a metapackage.  Install mysql-client-5.1, or do a re-install of mysql-client.
[06:11] <shaxs> iceroot: I installed 11.10 on a 40 GB ide drive and have 2x2 TB drives for software raid 1. Right now I am building the array for the first time or doign the first resync. If I wipe and install 10.4 instead, can I keep my raid intact or do I need to redo the whole raid thing again?
[06:12] <iceroot> shaxs: easiest would e to use the alternate-disc from 10.04 and recreate the raid there
[06:12] <lapion> shaxs, it is possible to convert a linux fs into raid...
[06:13] <lng> iceroot: http://paste.ubuntu.com/739938/
[06:13] <lng> tonyyarusso: same thing
[06:13] <lng> tonyyarusso: mysql-client-5.1 is already the newest version. mysql-client-5.1 set to manually installed.
[06:13] <tonyyarusso> lng: How about mysql-client-core-5.1?
[06:13] <lapion> shaxs, do you have any data on the 2x2 raid drives ?
[06:13] <shaxs> lapion nope
[06:13] <iceroot> lng: so mysql-client 5.1.54 is installed, what is your issue?
[06:13] <shaxs> so I guess it doesnt matter
[06:14] <lng> iceroot: I cannot use it
[06:14] <iceroot> lng: please post usefull details
[06:14] <lng> iceroot: The program 'mysql' can be found in the following packages:..
[06:14] <lapion> shaxs, are the 2x2 raid drives on a raid-cpntroller ?
[06:14] <shaxs> well, on my motherboards "raid controller"
[06:14] <shaxs> but I guess that is fake raid
[06:14] <iceroot> shaxs: dont use the raid-controller from your motherboard
[06:15] <iceroot> shaxs: its fake-raid, use software-raid instead
[06:15] <lapion> shaxs, check out the bios raid program
[06:15] <shaxs> iceroot, yes I know, i am doing mdadm raid because the crap/fake raid in the mobo
[06:15] <lapion> iceroot, depends on chipset...
[06:15] <iceroot> lapion: no
[06:15] <iceroot> lapion: every desktop-motherboard uses only fakeraid
[06:16] <tonyyarusso> iceroot: It sounds like he did an incomplete removal of things before, and stranded metapackages while just ripping out the lowermost dependency, or something like that.  He hasn't really said how he "deleted" it before yet.
[06:16] <lapion> iceroot, yes that I know but there are people that buy the good stuff.. which in this case is probably not so....
[06:16] <shaxs> lapion this is not the good stuff
[06:17] <shaxs> lapion iceroot If you had a choice over a decent dedicated raid card or software raid, which would you do?
[06:18] <iceroot> shaxs: of course software-raid, a hardware-raid-controller (a good one) is starting at 200€
[06:18] <shaxs> iceroot yeah that I will do then
[06:18] <lapion> well if the decent dedicated raid controller has battery backed caching... hardware raid..
[06:18] <iceroot> shaxs: is there a special reason you need raid1? (please dont say backup)
[06:19] <shaxs> iceroot I am building a media server to serve tv shows to my xbmc htpcs. So I figured raid 1 would be a good fail safe in case of one hd failure
[06:20] <iceroot> shaxs: a backup is a good fail safe
[06:20] <lapion> shaxs, however I did run a system with a software raid system (2x4.5G) for 5 years without a hitch...
[06:21] <iceroot> shaxs: normally you only need raid on important servers which needs to be available 24/7
[06:21] <lapion> shaxs, but that was to interleave both drives to gain performance and space..
[06:21] <shaxs> so
[06:21] <shaxs> unraid
[06:22] <Coder_> yo
[06:22] <Coder_> whats up
[06:22] <shaxs> use one file for storing/serving files off and use software to sync to another drive?
[06:22] <lng> iceroot: PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs/mysql.so' - libmysqlclient_r.so.16: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0
[06:22] <iceroot> shaxs: e.g. if you do stupid things and delete a file, the file is missing on both drives, so raid is not a backup
[06:22] <lng> iceroot: you see, something wrong with client
[06:22] <Coder_> whats the best apps for ubuntu?
[06:22] <lng> iceroot: I cannot reinstall it
[06:22] <iceroot> lng: sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient16
[06:23] <iceroot> !best | Coder_
[06:23] <lng> iceroot: strange but - /usr/lib/libmysqlclient_r.so.16
[06:23] <lng> iceroot: it exists
[06:23] <iceroot> lng: dpkg -l libmysqlclient16
[06:23] <lng> iceroot: libmysqlclient16 is already the newest version.
[06:23] <haylo_> Coder_, audacity for recording sound, clementine for mp3, virtualbox for virtual machines
[06:23] <shaxs> iceroot so if I jsut want a copy of my media files if one drive fails, dont use raid, but just use a sync program to backup data to the other hardrive?
[06:24] <lng> iceroot: http://paste.ubuntu.com/739941/
[06:24] <haylo_> Coder_, yeah there are no best apps
[06:24] <iceroot> shaxs: correct
[06:24] <shaxs> iceroot into recommendations for syncing software?
[06:24] <shaxs> *any
[06:24] <iceroot> shaxs: raid is not a backup-solution, its just a high available solution
[06:24] <iceroot> shaxs: rsync
[06:24] <iceroot> !backup | shaxs
[06:25] <tonyyarusso> lng: So what happened when you tried installing mysql-client-core-5.1 and doing a reinstall of mysql-client like I said?
[06:25] <shaxs> iceroot: okay. I think you have me convinced. Im going to stop building this raid, donwgrade to 10.4 and setup rysnc
[06:25] <ntr0py> Which identd do I need to enable postgresql ident method?
[06:26] <shaxs> iceroot: thanks for the sage wisdom
[06:26] <iceroot> lng: dpkg -l | grep -v ^ii
[06:26] <lng> FIXED!
[06:27] <lng> I have removed libmysqlclient16 and reinstalled required packages after that
[06:27] <lng> now mysql client is working again
[06:27] <lng> thanks

[06:56] <silv3r_m00n> ?
[06:57] <pnorman> silv3r_m00n: could it be your ISP? many do.
[06:57] <silv3r_m00n> no , its my LAN
[06:57] <silv3r_m00n> I can connect to other 192.168.1.* ips , but my peers are unable to connect to me
[06:57] <silv3r_m00n> somekind of firewall running on my machine ?
[06:57] <pnorman> You've got apache or something running that you expect to respond on port 80?
[06:57] <silv3r_m00n> ofcource
[06:58] <pnorman> What about connecting to localhost, does it work then?
[06:58] <RudyValencia> The security-updates service is slow tonight... any reason why"
[06:58] <RudyValencia> *why?
[06:58] <silv3r_m00n> yes , http://localhost and http://mylanip both work
[06:59] <pnorman> silv3r_m00n: ubuntu or ubuntu server?
[06:59] <silv3r_m00n> my pc , ubuntu desktop 11.04
[06:59] <silv3r_m00n> I remember fiddling with firestarter sometime back , can that have caused this ?
[07:00] <pnorman> sounds likely
[07:00] <silv3r_m00n> then what file shud I edit to revert
[07:00] <silv3r_m00n> in firestarter I don't find any preferences for that
[07:01] <pnorman> not sure - never used firestarter. did you just want to uninstall it?
[07:01] <silv3r_m00n> yes I can do that , but I better learn how to tackle it , since I play with such tools often
[07:01] <orated> Are linux kernel released every 2-3 months?
[07:02] <hsbjyjb> hello
[07:02] <RudyValencia> hm
[07:02] <pnorman> All I can suggest is look at the firestarter docs since I've never used it. Maybe someone else here has used it
[07:02] <hsbjyjb> nice to
[07:03] <RudyValencia> I can't seem to connect to the Ubuntu security repo
[07:03] <RudyValencia> and I'm trying to do setup
[07:03] <lathiat> RudyValencia: yes i am having the same issue
[07:03] <RudyValencia> hm
[07:03] <RudyValencia> what do I do?
[07:04] <lathiat> RudyValencia: you could reconfigure apt to use a mirror
[07:04] <lathiat> RudyValencia: most mirrors actaully have the security archives on them
[07:04] <RudyValencia> not during setup
[07:04] <lathiat> RudyValencia: true
[07:04] <lathiat> RudyValencia: it seems intermittent.. try again
[07:04] <RudyValencia> during setup it uses security.ubuntu.com
[07:04] <lathiat> its working a bit better for me now than 5 minutes ago
[07:04] <lathiat> still a bit slow
[07:05] <RudyValencia> ah
[07:05] <RudyValencia> now I have a 599
[07:05] <RudyValencia> *500
[07:05] <lathiat> fun.. its working here
[07:06] <RudyValencia> anyone know how I can get the installer to use a different repo for security updates?
[07:06] <RudyValencia> (installing over PXE)
[07:07] <tonyyarusso> RudyValencia: You'd probably need a preseed file for that
[07:07] <RudyValencia> oh
[07:07] <RudyValencia> and how do I make one?wha
[07:07] <RudyValencia> *one
[07:08] <RudyValencia> grr, on my android typing
[07:08] <RudyValencia> :/
[07:08] <RudyValencia> it's working a little now
[07:09] <RudyValencia> I have a local package cache using apt-cacher-ng
[07:10] <RudyValencia> so if there haven't been any recent updates I should get local copies
[07:10] <ktwo> anyone knows how i can change the firmware for my wifi driver? it says im using wifi/rtl8192cufw.bin, but my card is 8188CUS
[07:10] <ktwo> and its always disconnecting after 5-10minutes
[07:10] <RudyValencia> wow 304 bytes/sec :(
[07:12] <RudyValencia> it probably takes time for a repo to gear up I bet
[07:12] <RudyValencia> I think the shift key on my phone is not working
[07:15] <interlude> when I run screen -x user/ it give me this message: "Must run suid root for multiuser support." when i run the same command as sudo, I get "Access to session denied." Any ideas on how I could get this working?
[07:18] <lathiat> RudyValencia: I checked in with the devs and have been told its apparently fixed now
[07:18] <RudyValencia> ah
[07:18] <RudyValencia> good
[07:18] <lathiat> RudyValencia: have fun!
[07:18] <wolfman3k5> how can I jail a user in his ~home account without having to install jailkit? I know how to do it for ftp, but how do I do it for ssh? thank you.
[07:18] <lathiat> im out of here
[07:18] <lathiat> wolfman3k5: it is much harder to do for SSH
[07:18] <Jordan_U> interlude: "su username" then screen -x
[07:18] <lathiat> wolfman3k5: because basically you have to install a whole operating system under his chroot.. otherwise they cant run any programs
[07:18] <lathiat> worstadmin: i would class this as "very difficult"
[07:18] <lathiat> er
[07:19] <lathiat> wolfman3k5: i would class this as "very difficult"
[07:19] <lathiat> wolfman3k5: if all you want is SFTP accesss there are easier solutions
 so basically I should just install a jailkit and configure it?
[07:19] <orated> When can one expect to get Sandy Bridge support with linux kernel?
[07:19] <rumpe1> interlude, try http://blog.wilcoxd.com/wiki/Screen
[07:19] <lathiat> wolfman3k5: probably ive never used jailkit but if it purports to do what you want then that sounds like a good plan
 it's for security reasons, in case someone hacks into one of my website accounts
[07:20] <lathiat> wolfman3k5: jailkit looks like the way to go
[07:20] <lathiat> wolfman3k5: do you provide shell access or is SFTP more what you are ater?
[07:21] <interlude> Thanks Jordan_U, rumpe1. I'll try your suggestions.
 No one but me has access to the accounts. I'm just being extra careful
[07:21] <Jordan_U> interlude: You're welcome.
 I log into each account to make changes to the website it hosts, but that's it.

[07:52] <psypher246> hello all, I have an issue with oneiric which must have been caused by carrying over my home folder from natty. when i click the home icon in the launcher it opens a new nautilus icon at the bottom of the launcher. any subsequent nautilus windows now all open under that icon instead. does anyone know how I can restore the launcher to properly only open new windows under one icon, the home one right at the top?
[07:53] <Natecat> is it possible to install ubuntu without booting from a CD
[07:53] <Natecat> other then USB
[07:53] <click170> buggedmedusa: I remember having the log message appear, and having to configure the vpn to automatically reconnect.. perhaps we were having the same problem.  I don't know how to troubleshoot it further aside from browsing the source.
[07:56] <buggedmedusa> click170: means is it unsolved yet and there is no known way till this moment :-/ anyone solved this issue here? : log[decaps_gre:pptp_gre.c:414]: buffering packet 20301 (expecting 20300, lost or reordered)
[07:57] <click170> buggedmedusa: It reads like it's complaining about a lost packet, or that a packet arrived out of order. If that's the case, I'd suspect packet loss.
[07:59] <buggedmedusa> click170: I checked that with mtr and ping but I am not observing any packet loss and I wonder if that so it also should not work with windows either :-/ I am running clueless
[08:00] <poya> er
[08:00] <click170> Good point. Perhaps the windows implementation is better at dealing with out of order packets than the nix versions? I'm guessing now though.
[08:01] <Natecat> is it possible to install ubuntu manually(without disk/usb)?
[08:01] <somsip> Natecat: from what starting point?
[08:01] <localg0d> yaaaay
[08:01] <Tonius> how can i quit from MC with F10 key ? When I press F10, I see the menu on top of window ((( (sorry for my broken Englesh)
[08:01] <localg0d> Is theadmin here ?
[08:01] <Natecat> from the ISO and a blank partition
[08:01] <jasef> click170, Windows version of what? I'm coming in a little late
[08:02] <click170> PPTP, and I suspect MPPE and the compression component is being used as well.
[08:02] <buggedmedusa> click170: I dont want to give up with ubuntu for small issues.. I will try to get it working
[08:02] <Natecat> stupid slow partitioner
[08:03] <somsip> Natecat: You're wanting to somehow run the installer from another OS?
[08:03] <Natecat> yes or manually unzip and copy
[08:04] <buggedmedusa> click170: you suggesting me use --compression as well? but its not showing anything related to compression
[08:04] <somsip> Natecat: I suppose it's feasible. not supported though
[08:04] <Natecat> is it possible to run installer on blank partiton or do i have to do it manually
[08:05] <Natecat> what format does ubuntu need?
[08:05] <click170> buggedmedusa: I was guessing, but "pptp_gre" to me implies encryption so.. *shrugs*
[08:06] <Natecat> inside the disk is wubi...
[08:07] <bugweed> hi guys, wondering, is open-jdk7 good? is it compatible with sun java needs. installed it last time but not so satisfying
[08:08] <click170> buggedmedusa: Ah I was wrong, gre == generic routing encapsulation, not synonymous with encryption.
[08:08] <click170> gre != generic routing encapsulation*
[08:09] <dariushall21> Click170 can you help me, I'm having issues with installation, I can't get past the Ubuntu splash
[08:10] <click170> dariushall21: I had the same problem with the latest version of Ubuntu and wasn't able to get past it, I'm using an old version.
[08:10] <dariushall21> I'm using 11.10 and I've installed it about 5 times, this is the first time this has happened.
[08:11] <buggedmedusa> dariushall21: 6th time also you are installing it over the same machine?
[08:11] <Natecat> anybody know where on ubuntu website to download kernel?
[08:11] <click170> dariushall21: I'd suspect a difference in hardware. I tried a VM and got that result.
[08:12] <buggedmedusa> dariushall21: agree with click170 suggestion in your case
[08:12] <dariushall21> No, this is the second time on this machine because I installed windows I'm trying to install this along side it.
[08:14] <click170> dariushall21: Hmm, very interesting. I don't know what to suggest now though, aside from various Google phrases.
[08:15] <dariushall21> The disc is on a disc with lightscribe on the other side, that's falling off already could that cause the disk not to read right?
[08:15] <dariushall21> disc*
[08:15] <localg0d> hmm
[08:15] <localg0d> can anyone see my typing ?
[08:15] <localg0d> because i can't see anyone elses
[08:15] <buggedmedusa> dariushall21: does hardware supports 64bit OS? please check the hardware as issue rises normally with hardware compatibility or if the installation source is corrupted / damaged / under issues
[08:16] <dariushall21> The computer is x86. 32 bit.
[08:16] <click170> dariushall21: There should be an option somewhere in the installer to verify the integrity of the disk (and memory, but you don't want that option), but I don't know where Ubuntu hides it these days.
[08:16] <conntrack> mornin
[08:16] <dariushall21> I dont want that option?
[08:16] <click170> dariushall21: You want to check the integrity of the disk, not the integrity of your RAM memory.
[08:18] <MagicJ> what is the parameter to apt-get so that I can upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 at the command line?
[08:18] <dariushall21> Check disc for defects, test memory
[08:18] <dariushall21> either of those?
[08:18] <click170> MagicJ: Are you looking for 'apt-get dist-upgrade' ? (IIRC)
[08:19] <click170> dariushall21: The first one, you want to Check disc for defects
[08:19] <MagicJ> click170:  that does not do it - I thought it would but that still keeps me at 10.04 because that is a LTS version
[08:19] <dariushall21> Okay, it's running.
[08:19] <click170> dariushall21: grab a cuppa tea, this while take awhile.
[08:19] <bugweed> hi, what package installs the right click compress option on ubuntu?
[08:21] <onikk> MagicJ: my 10.04 LTS suggests running do-release-upgrade, try that
[08:22] <click170> MagicJ: A brief (very brief) google search would suggest the way to upgrade is with update manager, the gui program.
[08:22] <buggedmedusa> MagicJ: onikk: do-release-upgrade will upgrade the OS to newest version released 11:10
[08:22] <dariushall21> Its stopped at checking ./casper/intrz/dlz, I think I can't see from right here. And the disc has spooled down so I imagine that means its bad
[08:22] <dariushall21> wait it went onto another file
[08:22] <buggedmedusa> dariushall21: change the disc, create new and try installing with that
[08:23] <dariushall21> I don't have any dvds laying around to waste and my flash drive just stopped working.
[08:23] <click170> dariushall21: I'd say wait for a conclusive 'pass' or 'fail' indicator from the program. I've seen it pause like that, then continue.
[08:23] <my_openerp> How can I uninstall ubuntu from a windows-xp box?
[08:24] <lotrpy> hello, after change setting of bonding (/etc/network/interfaces), how to enable the change without reboot?
[08:24] <buggedmedusa> lotrpy: /etc/init.d/networking restart
[08:24] <dariushall21> Does anyone here know anything about windows and flash drives? All I get is "windows could not format (F:)"
[08:24] <lotrpy> buggedmedusa, letme try, thanks
[08:25] <dariushall21> check finished error found in 1 files.
[08:26] <click170> dariushall21: Well then I have good news. We now know your disk has cancer, the terminal kind. ;)
[08:26] <MagicJ> bugged
[08:26] <MagicJ> buggedmedusa:  I do not want to go to 11.10 - it has unity - I want to go from 10.4 to 10,10
[08:26] <dariushall21> Great, I don't have any discs or a working flash drive. No computer for me.
[08:27] <lotrpy> buggedmedusa, it works, thanks~
[08:27] <click170> dariushall21: What about netboot installing from the network? Boot from PXE straight to the installer.  Complicated, but possible.
[08:27] <bugweed> how do  use open-jdk after installing it? my web java applet is not running even after in installed open-jdk7
[08:28] <dariushall21> Explain?
[08:30] <click170> dariushall21: It requires an additional computer with wich to install from, https://wiki.koeln.ccc.de/index.php/Ubuntu_PXE_Install

[08:52] <ok_wait> hi all! i'm looking for help with a frugal install to an old laptop that can't boot from anything but the internal hd (i pull the internal hd out and attach it to this machine via usb for installation)
[08:53] <ok_wait> during the install the disk is recognized as sda1 (also no other disks are attached but the cd device) and while it's in the laptop, it's recognized as hda1

[09:14] <ikonia> triplc: what happens ?
[09:14] <triplc> is that i need another virtualization software other than virtualbox?
[09:14] <ikonia> triplc: what happens ?
[09:14] <triplc> ikonia: i open virtualbox but cannot "enable" 64 bit processor

[09:15] <ikonia> sorry the 64bit guest
[09:16] <triplc> ikonia: in virtualbox (ver 4.1) i do not see 64-bit option at all (in processor tab)
[09:16] <ikonia> triplc: I rarley use virtualbox so I'm not %100 on the gui, however http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch03.html details how to do it, I've just read it
[09:17] <triplc> ikonia: when i try to install a 64-bit OS and it failed claiming 32-bit processor found
[09:17] <kevinyoung> hi all
[09:18] <triplc> ikonia: just read ch03.html too... it sounds to me that even with 64-bit host, virtualbox still require a VT-x processor of the host
[09:18] <triplc> which i do not have (i am using an HP laptop)
[09:18] <ikonia> triplc: yes, it does require VT
[09:19] <triplc> ikonia: hmm...can you recommend an alternative to virtualbox that does not requit VTx

[09:33] <olewolf> Hi. My girlfriend is running Ubuntu (with the Unity desktop). An application seems to be running somewhere in the background so she can't start it from the Alt-F2 menu. I can easily find and kill the application from the terminal, but she prefers the desktop GUI. Which kind of "Task Manager" is there in Ubuntu, if any?
[09:33] <localg0d> just curious , but does anyone here know where to change the treble and bass on the soundcard's output in ubuntu ?
[09:34] <localg0d> olewolf: click the app finder and type " login " put in your password and then change to ubuntu classic login and from there you can put a system monitor on the taskbar and click it and bring up the task manager easier ;)

[09:35] <olewolf> localg0d: I could go with Fedora, too. That is, I know I can change to non-unity, but that's not an option.
[09:36] <localg0d> hmm .. well ... i think ubuntu is better than any penguin or red/hatted community operating system ... those which have gone commercial only to turn their back on their greatest asset aka the community itself ;)
[09:36] <m3kk> Hello mates
[09:36] <ikonia> localg0d: please stop talking nonsense.
[09:37] <localg0d> lol @ ikonia .. ok .. a little tired so i'll shut the spout off ..
[09:38] <m3kk> im having issues running ubuntu on my PC, it runs slow like im running it in a virtual enveiorment, something must be up! im running with a i7 870 or 920 cant remember and double gtx 460 SLI having windows 7 on a ssd disk and ubuntu on a seperate partition on another disk. IS there more information you want?
[09:38] <ikonia> m3kk: define "having issues"
[09:38] <m3kk> Starting something from "places" could really take long time etc, old vista ran better lol :S i expect ubuntu to run circles around my win7 installation
[09:39] <Driiper> why cant everything just work :D [warn] proxy: No protocol handler was valid for the URL /webmin/. If you are using a DSO version of mod_proxy, make sure the proxy submodules are included in the configuration using LoadModule. My dear ubuntu aint in the working mood today
[09:39] <m3kk> ikonia, i think i did..::S
[09:39] <ikonia> Driiper: webmin is not supported.
[09:39] <m3kk> ikonia, you didnt read the rest of my message?:S
[09:39] <ikonia> m3kk: when you say starting something from places, do you mean on the virutal guest, or the host ?
[09:40] <m3kk> ikonia, oh no, im not running virtual. im mean open a folder from the menu "places"
[09:40] <Driiper> ikonia: is there any other way of doing this then? i need it to go via port 80 because my school likes to block everything
[09:40] <m3kk> ikonia, as an example of the slugginesh, that could take a minute to bring "pictures" open.. alldou the folder is empty anyway..
[09:40] <ikonia> m3kk: ok, I suspect what you are seeing is "visual" lag, rather than actual poor performance
[09:41] <m3kk> ikonia,  the programs and folders isnt opening until a minute later or something
[09:41] <ikonia> m3kk: this is normally caused by your graphics cards not been configured/working correctly
[09:41] <m3kk> webbbrowsing is sluggish like old magic phone with android
[09:42] <ikonia> m3kk: please listen to what I'm telling you
[09:42] <m3kk> ikonia, ah.. i see
[09:42] <ikonia> m3kk: you said you had nvidia cards in the machine ?
[09:42] <antnash> Hi guys. I've got a problem with an fstab mounted partition. Some directories in it are giving me permission denied when I try to cd into them
[09:42] <m3kk> ikonia, yes! two of them!
[09:42] <ikonia> antnash: look at the permissions on them
[09:42] <ikonia> m3kk: have you enabled the nvidia hardware drier module ?
[09:43] <m3kk> ikonia, yes i have enabled that restriction driver..
[09:43] <antnash> ikonia, I have. Shouldn't 666 give me rw access?
[09:43] <m3kk> ikonia, if that is what you meant..
[09:43] <ikonia> m3kk: do you have a files called /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:43] <ikonia> antnash: sounds good
[09:43] <ikonia> antnash: can you show me the output of ls -la $directory in a pastebin please.
[09:43] <m3kk> i should have, im not running inside ubuntu right now
[09:43] <ikonia> m3kk: I need to know if you do or not
[09:44] <deej1976> antnash: Directory should be 700 at least
[09:44] <mmh_> hi. can anyone recommend a notebook manufacturer where things usually just work with ubuntu?
[09:44] <jianchen> Hi, guys, i've a probelm with can't find eth0 in ubuntu 10.04.
[09:44] <deej1976> mmh_: system76
[09:44] <m3kk> ikonia, i will come back here later when im inside ubuntu. thank you so much for your help.. now i know where to focus my problemsolving =)
[09:44] <ikonia> !hcl | mmh_
[09:44] <jianchen> thx
[09:44] <reisio> mmh_: http://linux-laptop.net/ http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/
[09:45] <antnash> ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/740032/
[09:45] <m3kk> has anyone tried Elementary OS Jupiter? based on ubuntu?
[09:45] <deej1976> antnash: chmod 777 /var/www
[09:45] <reisio> m3kk: I'm sure someone has, or why would it exist
[09:45] <ikonia> m3kk: nothing to do with this channel
[09:46] <m3kk> Okok im sorry just chattin. bye
[09:46] <antnash> deej1976: But shouldn't 666 give everyone rw access?
[09:46] <olewolf> jianchen: how many network cards do you have (I'm assuming just one)?
[09:46] <ikonia> antnash: which direcotry is casuing you the problem
[09:46] <jianchen> just one
[09:46] <deej1976> antnash: Read/Write but directories need executable bit as well
[09:46] <antnash> ikonia: it's var
[09:46] <jianchen> olewolf: just one
[09:46] <antnash> oh right. Fair enough
[09:46] <ikonia> antnash: which one are you getting permissions denied
[09:47] <olewolf> jianchen: have you tried to list "ifconfig" in a terminal? It could be the network card is simply named "eth1" or so.
[09:47] <deej1976> antnash: Your permissions are a little messed up
[09:47] <jianchen> olewolf: ifconfig list only lo
[09:47] <olewolf> Oh.
[09:47] <antnash> ikonia: var, and all subdirs.
[09:48] <antnash> deej1976: Should everything really have x permissions?
[09:48] <deej1976> antnash: only directories
[09:48] <antnash> ok, ta
[09:48] <deej1976> antnash: would chmod 700 /var
[09:49] <antnash> ok, thanks deej1975
[09:50] <eshlox> how to manage upstart services? i know how start and stop but maybe is a tool to add/remove from startup?
[09:50] <m3kk> ikonia: ok im in ubuntu now
[09:51] <RaTTuS|BIG> eshlox - change the permissions in /etc/init.d
[09:51] <m3kk> ikonia: where is the file you where talking about xorg.conf?
[09:51] <m3kk> found it
[09:51] <ikonia> m3kk: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:51] <deej1976> antnash: Then for directories: find /var/www -type d -exec chmod 777 {} \;
[09:51] <eshlox> RaTTuS|BIG: init.d? not init?
[09:51] <deej1976> antnash: Then for files: find /var/www -type f -exec chmod 666 {} \;
[09:51] <ikonia> antnash: I would not advise that
[09:51] <jianchen> olewolf: my pc is ThinkCentre M8300t,  i think ubuntu 10.04 can't support ntel G840 2.8ghz
[09:52] <m3kk> ikonia: yeah thanks i found it, should i paste whats inside?
[09:52] <ikonia> antnash: changing all directories to 7777 is a security risk
[09:52] <ikonia> m3kk: no
[09:52] <antnash> I'll change them all to 700
[09:52] <ikonia> m3kk: look for a line inside it that says "Driver nvidia"
[09:52] <antnash> or 770
[09:52] <m3kk> ikonia: it has none,
[09:52] <m3kk> ikonia: yes it has im sorry
[09:52] <olewolf> jianchen: does "dmesg" list anything about an eth interface?
[09:52] <Barbarian> antnash, If I know my permissions, that means everyone can read, everyone can write, no-one can execute?
[09:53] <ikonia> m3kk: ok, so that should be using the nvidia module, so it narrows it down to a.) if those cards are supported with the module b.) SLI is causing a problem (it used to)
[09:53] <antnash> Morning Barbarian. The 666? yeah, I think so
[09:53] <Barbarian> antnash, morning :D
[09:53] <deej1976> ikonia: I would agree as well :D, but very easy for someone that just wants to develop, not that I know their intent.
[09:54] <m3kk> ikonia: ok!
[09:54] <antnash> Barbarian: Another long day of helping people out?
[09:54] <m3kk> ikonia: would a update to some non-stable release of drivers possible help?
[09:55] <olewolf> jianchen: it could be that 10.04 doesn't support that network card. Someone seems to have made a work-around here: http://www.restricted.co.za/?p=152
[09:55] <Barbarian> antnash, nah, just thought I'd lurk a bit before heading off. Got a presentation to do about BI >.<
[09:55] <jianchen> olewolf : ok
[09:55] <antnash> BI?
[09:55] <Barbarian> antnash, business intelligence systems
[09:55] <antnash> O.O
[09:55] <ikonia> m3kk: no
[09:55] <m3kk> ikonia: ok
[09:55] <RaTTuS|BIG> eshlox - yeah init
[09:55] <ubuntu_> sounds geeky and complex
[09:56] <ikonia> m3kk: randomly updating things with no reason is bad, doing so to unstable components is worse
[09:56] <m3kk> ikonia: affirmative
[09:56] <Barbarian> ubuntu_, Less so than you might imagine. It's basically putting random unrelated info into charts/graphs/stuff
[09:56] <Barbarian> ubuntu_, Business types always gotta have the fancy names though
[09:56] <ubuntu_> hehe
[09:56] <eshlox> RaTTuS|BIG: isnt better idea? it doesnt make sense ;-/
[09:57] <m3kk> ikonia: you might have been right about visibile lag, when i set my "effects" in themes to EXTRA so you get all wobbleness to windows, the system seems to run ALOT faster..
[09:57] <ikonia> m3kk: the symptoms you describe against the hardware you list would suggest visual lag
[09:58] <ikonia> m3kk: type lsmod | grep -i nvidia , do you get any output
[09:58] <scarleo> Hi, I can't launch gufw (FW config gui) from dash, it also has no real icon. Launching it from Terminal works fine. Tried reinstalling. Does anyone have any tips on what to try?
[09:58] <m3kk> ill try
[09:58] <Barbarian> General question. How would you pitch ubuntu to someone who thinks linux OSes are crazy complex?
[09:58] <m3kk> ikonia: nvidia 10221046 70
[09:59] <scarleo> Barbarian: Depends on what they need to do. Let them try first hand if it's only abt surfing the web they will find it's easy :)
[09:59] <ikonia> m3kk: so that suggests the module is being used, which takes us back to a. and b.
[09:59] <Barbarian> scarleo, Fair enough. Basically, it consists of libreoffice, chrome, and a custom database which I think I can get working on wine. I'll see if the OS can speak for itself :P
[09:59] <m3kk> ikonia: ok
[09:59] <Rods_Tiger> Barbarian: let them ask a question on freenode. Oh wait, on second thoughts, that's the last thing you want them to do.
[10:00] <Barbarian> Rods_Tiger, :D
[10:01] <DJones> Barbarian: Is a quick private message ok?
[10:01] <m3kk> ikonia: i think i have an idea...
[10:02] <Driiper> Do anyone have any suggestions on how to run Webmin via say Apache2? i tried the proxy way, but that didnt seem to work. The university i'm studying on is blocking all ports except port 80.
[10:02] <m3kk> ikonia: i have the same syndrome as im in a game without vsync on, i see screentearing etc and its feeling really laggy. So maybe its my monitor?
[10:02] <ikonia> !webmin | Driiper
[10:02] <ikonia> m3kk: no,
[10:03] <Driiper> ikonia: Is there any free web interface which is supported by Ubuntu/Debian these days?
[10:03] <ikonia> not sure on the current satus of ebox
[10:03] <m3kk> ikonia: what is "sync to vblank" in nvidia settings?
[10:04] <ikonia> m3kk: no idea, don't have the option list infront of me
[10:04] <m3kk> ikonia: thanks for trying to help
[10:04] <RaTTuS|BIG> m3kk - force the refesh to be the same as the screen
[10:05] <m3kk> RaTTuS|BIG: thank you, i think that would solve some of the tearing? :P
[10:05] <RaTTuS|BIG> yes
[10:05]  * jiltdil Why windows Suck?
[10:05] <ikonia> m3kk: you are ignoring the root cause
[10:05] <Driiper> ikonia: ill try it out. Thanks
[10:05] <ikonia> jiltdil: nothing to do with this channel - please don't troll
[10:06] <m3kk> ikonia: okey
[10:06] <Rods_Tiger> it's the air pressure differential - when you open a window in the house and there's already a door open, the air rushes out.
[10:06] <jiltdil> ikonia ok cool
[10:06] <ikonia> Rods_Tiger: please don't feed sillyness
[10:06] <jiltdil> Rods_Tiger, Good one +1
[10:08] <m3kk> ikonia:  can i do some test to see if the cards is running fine? should i install a game? glxgears etc?
[10:08] <ikonia> !nvidia | m3kk
[10:08] <m3kk> ikonia: ty
[10:08] <Kim4x> Hi
[10:09] <JWillians> Hi Kim4x!
[10:11] <m3kk> RaTTuS|BIG: i have enabled sync to vblank but when i move windows around there is still very visible screentearing. when i run glxgears its actually showing i have 60fps
[10:11] <ikonia> m3kk: I've told you the problem
[10:11] <m3kk> ikonia: what is my problem ?:S im sorry if i missed it im cooking dinner at the same time
[10:12] <ikonia> m3kk: the card is either not supported by the nvidia propitary modules or the SLI is causing a problem,
[10:13] <RaTTuS|BIG> m3kk - ikonia has it right - probably sli - my bet - try it with sli switched off and see what happens
[10:13] <m3kk> RaTTuS|BIG: cant find SLI button in the settings for nvidia
[10:14] <ikonia> it's not a software setting
[10:14] <hacker> hey how r u?
[10:15] <SURFkees> I've recently upgraded from 10.08 -> 11.04 -> 11.10 and now both Unity and Gnome3 are not working at all for me. When I start them, it logs me in normally, but none of the desktop buttons, icons, menu's are responsive.
[10:15] <Guest36164> bomber 45
[10:15] <SURFkees> Any idea where to start looking?
[10:15] <recentlydeceased> is there any way to stop the activities dash in gnome-shell from opening when triggering the top-left of the screen?
[10:15] <m3kk> ikonia: i dont belive there is an off switch for SLI in ubuntu
[10:15] <ikonia> m3kk: I've just told you there is no software button - it's not a software setting
[10:17] <m3kk> ikonia: it should be easy to just disable one card via software wouldnt you agree?
[10:17] <haylo_> SURFkees, 10.08 where did you download that?
[10:17] <ikonia> m3kk: no, as it's not a software technology
[10:17] <RaTTuS|BIG> m3kk - do you have 2 cards that you have sli'ed or are they sli'ed onboard. - are you running 2 monitors ?
[10:17] <SURFkees> or 10.10, whatever was the last version in 2010
[10:18] <m3kk> ikonia: no but, nevermind SLI a hardware could be disabled by the system
[10:18] <ikonia> m3kk: it can't
[10:18] <m3kk> RaTTuS|BIG: one monitor two cards
[10:18] <m3kk> ikonia: sounds pretty weird
[10:18] <george__> if I am upgrading a hard drive, what would be the best way to transfer all the data?
[10:18] <george__> I already have partitions and filesystems set
[10:19] <iceroot> george__: same size?
[10:19] <rhin0> george put it onto a cd or a dvd or a usb drive
[10:19] <george__> no, no the same size
[10:19] <deej1976> george__: homearea or complete system?
[10:19] <george__> complete system
[10:19] <george__> i only have sawp and /
[10:19] <RaTTuS|BIG> m3kk lshw -class display  | pastebinit
[10:19] <george__> partitions
[10:19] <ikonia> m3kk: it's not weird in the slightest,
[10:19] <m3kk> ikonia: in windows etc , i can disable whatever hardware i want? with linux being so open and customizable im sure you just missunderstood me
[10:19] <RaTTuS|BIG> back in 10 mins - need a CON
[10:19] <ikonia> m3kk: you're not using windows
[10:19] <iceroot> george__: for the complete system i would do this (maybe not the best way) dd the old hdd onto the new hdd and resize the partitons with gparted
[10:20] <rhin0> you can install a copy of ubuntu beside an older version on the same drive and you will be able to reference the partition george
[10:20] <ikonia> m3kk: the drivers you use are not "open" they are closed so only people at nvidia can decide what to enable/disable support/not-support
[10:20] <rhin0> george__
[10:20] <george__> is it possible to just use cp to copy everything on there?
[10:20] <m3kk> ikonia: im aware of that :P
[10:20] <ikonia> m3kk: then why are you talking nonsense about it being "open and customisable" if you know it's not
[10:20]  * rhin0 would back the lot up onto a DVD
[10:20] <m3kk> ikonia: nevermind what manuifactor the hardware has, you should be able to disable the hardware or even the port the hardware is plugged intto so the OS doesnt see the hardware, you see?
[10:21] <george__> im worried dd will mess something up
[10:21] <haylo_> dd is the only way i think like ikonia said
[10:21] <rhin0> you can make a complete tar archive of a system also -- crunched down george
[10:21] <ikonia> m3kk: no, you're just not making sense or you don't understand how the hardware / software interaction works
[10:21] <m3kk> ikonia: ok
[10:21] <livingdaylight> greetings ubunteros
[10:21] <deej1976> george__: sudo into root ; find / -devx -print -depth | cpio -pvdum /mnt/new/hd/root partition
[10:22] <livingdaylight> can someone tell me how i can find out whether I installed [a long time ago, hence don't remember] 32bit or 4bit version of ubuntu?
[10:22] <deej1976> george__: edit /etc/fstab update uuid labels, reinstall grub
[10:22] <ikonia> livingdaylight: uname -a please
[10:22] <m3kk> ikonia: i can disable the hardware in bios
[10:22] <ikonia> m3kk: correct
[10:23] <rhin0> uname -a livingdaylight tells you what you have -- if you have a 64 bit system uname -a will have 64 bit in the thing it says otherwise its 32 bit i'm not sure about 4 bit what are you running it on a calculator?
[10:23] <livingdaylight> ikonia, thx
[10:23] <livingdaylight> rhin0, got it - thanks
[10:23] <ikonia> rhin0: he made a typo
[10:23] <ikonia> 4 bit = 64bit without the 6
[10:23] <haylo_> i think it was a joke
[10:24] <george__> find / -devx
[10:24] <george__> find: unknown predicate `-devx'
[10:25] <deej1976> george__: sorry -xdev
[10:26] <george__> so it will just list every file in / and the cpio will copy?
[10:27] <deej1976> george__: yes, I've done this with redhat 6 :), so it might be a little hit or miss
[10:28] <danielsouzat> I installed something at Synaptic, and the grub theme changed to something about Debian. How I revert this?
[10:28] <george__> will cp -a work?
[10:29] <george__> cp -a / /mnt/disk ?
[10:29] <deej1976> george__: not sure would go with cpio -pvdum

[10:33] <george__> hmm
[10:33] <k_bx> Hi everyone! I have this feature proposal for Ubuntu: when someone renames a file (like from odt to doc, from png to jpg) it should somehow be able to ask "convert?". I know it's not so easy to implement, but it's a win in a long run. So is there a place where to put a feature-proposal like this? Thanks.
[10:33] <george__> ill try copying everything except proc and sys
[10:33] <david> hola
[10:34] <david> my name s david
[10:34] <david> i live in new york
[10:34] <newnoise> hi there. got some probs with ubuntu server 10.04 and a raid system
[10:34] <deej1976> george__: the -xdev should avoid those filesystems
[10:35] <newnoise> it says "no more space on device available" even though "df" outputs that just 50% of space are used
[10:35] <Guest77500> i saw my dick in the cam
[10:35] <Kamiccolo> df? Dwarf Fortress?
[10:35] <george__> you had all of / in one partition?
[10:35] <newnoise> no i have 4 partitions
[10:35] <Guest77500> but you saw me your boobs
[10:36] <Guest2138> Kamiccolo, df is a tool to report file system usage
[10:36] <Kamiccolo> Guest2130, oh, right.. sorry..
[10:36] <Kamiccolo> *crawls back gaming*
[10:36] <Guest2138> Wait... I'm guest? D:
[10:36] <Guest77500> are you eat my dick ?
[10:36] <deej1976> george__: It was a label install with just / and swap, /home was mount via nfs
[10:36] <newnoise> one for /, one for tmp, one for boot and one for var
[10:36] <jasef> Guest77500, please take non family-friendly talk OUT of #ubuntu.
[10:37] <deej1976> !offtopic: Guest77500
[10:37] <george__> it will avoid symbolic links and stuff like that i hope
[10:37] <jasef> !offtopic | Guest77500
[10:38] <deej1976> newnoise: Can you paste output of df -lk into pastebin
[10:39] <newnoise> deej1976: http://pastebin.com/YBKzz2UD
[10:40] <deej1976> george__: run the first part "find / -xdev -print -depth" and direct to a file ( > /tmp/findfilelist )
[10:40] <newnoise> when I try to write into /var it says: "no more space available" (or something similiar ;) )
[10:40] <george__> gonna go init 1
[10:41] <deej1976> newnoise: Can you explain what your trying to write to /var
[10:42] <newnoise> deej1976: I'm using mapnik (a tool to render maps) to draw pictures which are saved to /var
[10:43] <newnoise> but anything else doesnt work as well
[10:43] <chroot> hi, have you ever used UEC?
[10:43] <newnoise> just tried to download a big file using wget and the same error
[10:44] <deej1976> newnoise: Where under /var does it try and save?
[10:44] <newnoise> in this case under /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/
[10:45] <newnoise> but the same happens if i try saving directly into /var
[10:45] <SK1> hi
[10:45] <iceroot> newnoise: can you paste the output of "df -h"
[10:45] <deej1976> iceroot: http://pastebin.com/YBKzz2UD
[10:46] <newnoise> i guess that it has to do something with the software-raid
[10:46] <newnoise> because of the 50% ...
[10:46] <newnoise> but I dont know too much about it ...
[10:46] <FR> HI
[10:46] <iceroot> newnoise: can you paste "cat /proc/mdstat"
[10:47] <SK1> how ya

[10:55] <newnoise> here is the raid output: http://pastebin.com/b9FpMP0S
[10:55] <ncopa> hi
[10:56] <ncopa> how can i set NIC speed hard and disable auto-negotiation and make the change persistent to next reboot?
[10:56] <deej1976> newnoise: Can you download anything to your homearea?
[10:57] <newnoise> deej1976: yes. its just a problem in /var
[10:57] <deej1976> newnoise: Which directory under /var ?
[10:57] <newnoise> everything
[10:58] <deej1976> newnoise: Have you got permissions to write to /var ?
[10:58] <newnoise> deej1976: i tried it as root as well -> doenst work
[11:00] <almoxarife> newnoise: did you make permission changes?
[11:01] <__jonathan> Hi all, I moved from unity to gnome 3 with my ubuntu 11.04 but I've a small problem with the empathy notification icon
[11:01] <deej1976> newnoise:  cat you pastebin ls -lart /var
[11:01] <newnoise> almoxarife: yes. I tried to change permissions of one big folder (containing thousands of pictures) but aborted it because it took too long
[11:01] <__jonathan> when the icon blinks, it seems that one icon is missing. Don't know if I'm clear in my explanations
[11:01] <__jonathan> do you know how to solve it ?
[11:02] <newnoise> deej1976: http://pastebin.com/yWEi27GZ
[11:02] <newnoise> I just stumbled upon an article suggesting it might be because im dont have any free inodes available anymore?
[11:03] <newnoise> ha
[11:03] <newnoise> thats it
[11:03] <newnoise> df -i says 100% use of inodes in /var
[11:04] <deej1976> newnoise: Excellent, I've learnt something new
[11:04] <newnoise> deej1976: me too ;)
[11:04] <newnoise> but how can i solve the problen ;)
[11:05] <deej1976> newnoise: Would probably need to find what's taking all the inodes
[11:06] <gsd_> hello
[11:07] <newnoise> deej1976: so i have to delete files? no way too increase number of inodes?
[11:07] <deej1976> newnoise: No, unless a filesystem expert is here and can tell you.
[11:09] <newnoise> deej1976: because I know that its the pictures i draw
[11:12] <milligan> Can I tail a file and send each line to a script for parsing ?

[11:25] <tnm> deej1976, filezilla client yes, but no filezilla server
[11:26] <mirrakor_> tnm: there's tons of ftp servers for linux
[11:26] <deej1976> tnm: install openssh-server and use sftp
[11:27] <newnoise> mirrakor_: think its ext3, but im not quite sure :-\
[11:27] <tnm> deej1976, what about  vsftpd. Is it Ok?
[11:27] <mirrakor_> newnoise: cfdisk will tell you

[11:28] <Narc> Hello everyone. Anyone using Gnome Shell on 11.10 having issues with a slow search box ? Everything is just smooth and snappy except the application search taking a few long seconds to take my typing into account. I'm using the current nvidia drivers, no other issues. Thanks.
[11:28] <deej1976> blackshirt: wrong nick, I'm and ssh person
[11:29] <almoxarife> Narc: same here, lags just enough to annoy
[11:29] <mirrakor_> newnoise: actually sudo blkid /dev/<your disk here> will tell you the same :) (don't know if both are preinstalled)
[11:30] <Narc> almoxarife: Ah, yeah, I tried to ignore it but it makes it annoying to use...
[11:31] <Narc> almoxarife: Are you using the nvidia drivers too ?
[11:31] <newnoise> almoxarife: both say: linux raid member
[11:31] <newnoise> ...
[11:33] <almoxarife> Narc: not using nvidia, try this , I keep a link to /user/share/applications handy
[11:36] <mirrakor_> newnoise: I guess you ment me. Would you also do me the favor and run df -i  and post me the result?
[11:36] <DysonReturns> Greets. I've got vsftp loaded, i want the user to be able to ftp in but not via ssh.  usermod -s /usr/sbin/nologin  or /bin/false results in FTP failing. Help please?
[11:36] <hdon> hi all :) i have three systems. Foo is running "ssh -N -R127.0.0.1:12345:127.0.0.1:12345 bar" and baz is running "ssh -N -R127.0.0.1:12345:127.0.0.1:12345 bar" but no success. any advise greatly appreciated :)
[11:38] <newnoise> mirrakor_: right, I meant you ;) here is the output: http://pastebin.com/TXbnEkpA
[11:38] <hdon> DysonReturns: if i understand you correctly, you want users to be able to sftp, but not use the shell
[11:38] <DysonReturns> hdon, I want users to ftp but not ssh
[11:38] <hdon> DysonReturns: well it sounds like you're using sftp, which is ssh, but not necessarily giving them shell access
[11:38] <DysonReturns> hdon, or sftp, even for that matter. the problem is restricting the ssh user to his own folder, trying to work around that.
[11:39] <DysonReturns> hdon, just ftp.
[11:39] <hdon> DysonReturns: well i think you've got the right idea, though another possibility to restrict someone to a single root directory would be a chroot jail
[11:39] <hdon> i think your idea is the best way to do this
[11:39] <hdon> DysonReturns: check sftp-related options in your /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[11:40] <hdon> DysonReturns: also login/shell related options. it's possible sshd notices that the user doesn't have a real shell and then doesn't let them do anything
[11:40] <hdon> if that's happening then there's probably an option in there for that
[11:40] <DysonReturns> cool - i'll dig some. thank you.
[11:41] <SoulRaven> hi
[11:41] <SoulRaven> plase help me with something
[11:41] <SoulRaven> i have an notebook Compaq NX7400
[11:41] <hdon> regarding my problem... i have a reverse tunnel and a forward tunnel (ssh -R and -L respectively) to the same system, but am unable to connect through both tunnels. channel 2: open failed: connect failed: Connection refused
[11:41] <SoulRaven> and i just install the Xorg-edgers fresh X crack ppa
[11:41] <mirrakor_> newnoise: ok, this tells us your /var partition (how big is it actually?) has run out of inodes - var is a directory that tends to contain a lot of small files. So we basicly have two choices: find and remove a lot of small (unused) files or, move the stuff on it somewhere else,  reformat the partition and move everything back on it again (unfortunately there's no way to increase the amount of inodes online)
[11:42] <SoulRaven> and now i have only the desktop and the mouse cursor after restart, any ideea how i bring back the interface?
[11:42] <hdon> mirrakor_: /var has a lot of log files, too. you could tar them up
[11:42] <hdon> SoulRaven: are you still logging in via gdm?
[11:42] <newnoise> mirrakor_: ok, thats what i was afraid of. I created all the files ;) because its used as a tile server for an online web-app. so i gotta reformat the server ... too bad. thanks a lot for your help!
[11:43] <Breakable> a library asks for c++ compiler c98 standard compatible ...  what should I instsall ?
[11:43] <SoulRaven> hdon: i have tryed to restart lightgdm but nothing
[11:43] <SoulRaven> n change
[11:44] <hdon> SoulRaven: are you getting to the gdm login screen?
[11:44] <mirrakor_> newnoise: an osm server by any chance? I'd suggest you delete the tiles before you move the stuff - makes it easier/faster ;)
[11:44] <Breakable> a library asks for c++ compiler c98 standard compatible ...  what should I install ?
[11:45] <hdon> Breakable: gcc
[11:45] <SoulRaven> hdon yes, and after i login, i get only the background and the mouse cursor
[11:45] <qirk> Is it possible to adjust "lines per twofingervertscroll" somehow? Would like a smooth scroll as on mac
[11:45] <Tixos> why is the ubuntu fglrx driver useless?
[11:45] <hdon> SoulRaven: ok try instead something like startx (if that command is even still around, been a while for me) from the vt. do you know how to work with .xinitrc ?
[11:45] <mirrakor_> newnoise: when you're running mkfs.ext{your favorite version goes here} you can add the parameter -N <number of inodes> to explicitly create more inodes
[11:46] <Breakable> hdon:  I installed it already
[11:46] <SoulRaven> hdon, no, i don't know .xinitrc
[11:46] <Breakable> hdon: but still asks for a c++ compiler
[11:47] <Breakable> hdon: in config.log  , it tries gcc++ command
[11:47] <hdon> Breakable: whoops sorry wasn't reading. install g++
[11:47] <SoulRaven> hdon: is not working startx, /root/.Xauthority does not exist
[11:48] <zykotick9> SoulRaven, are you trying to startx as root?  or using sudo?
[11:49] <SoulRaven> as root
[11:49] <hdon> SoulRaven: yeah sorry if you don't know how to .xinitrc i am afraid i am rather useless to you unless i had more time on my hands than i do at this moment. good luck in fixing your problem :)
[11:50] <qirk> isn't the gtk scroll rate customizable? It's a about 3 lines with touchpad

[12:00] <mo0n_sniper> hello all
[12:01] <Arpit60> http://paste.ubuntu.com/740118/
[12:01] <newnoise> mirrakor_: yes, an osm server
[12:01] <nixmaniack> hi, I'm compiling linux kernel, now when i executed 'sudo make modules_install install' I've got error http://paste.ubuntu.com/740111/. I'm stuck at this
[12:02] <newnoise> mirrakor_: but i dont want to format the drive. I think I try to handle it by changing partition size and moving the tiles to a different partition
[12:03] <mirrakor_> newnoise: no need to format the whole disk, just the partition (or as you said, you move the tiles somewhere else like /opt/ )
[12:03] <RaTTuS|BIG> Arpit60 - use the usb stick to boot from the 1st HD i.e. your 500Gb one that should have linux on it
[12:04] <newnoise> mirrakor_: ok. so I could move all the stuff from /var to somewhere, reformat the partition and copy the stuff back on?
[12:04] <mirrakor_> newnoise: exactly
[12:05] <Arpit60> rattus|big can i pm you ?
[12:05] <newnoise> mirrakor_: but I cant do this while the system is running, can I?
[12:05] <RaTTuS|BIG> Arpit60 - proably nopt worth it TBH - I'm snowed under
[12:05] <Arpit60> okay
[12:06] <mirrakor_> newnoise: uhm, I think you could do this with a very small interruption or using a live cd
[12:06] <Arpit60> btw there is no restart also only hibernate and shitdown !!!! :(
[12:06] <Arpit60> shutdown
[12:06] <newnoise> mirrakor_: well its a remote server, so I cant use a live cd, but I could do it from rescue system
[12:07] <Arpit60> thanks for the help !
[12:07] <mirrakor_> newnoise: using the rescue system would probably be cleaner
[12:08] <mirrakor_> (otherwise we could hick up some running applications)
[12:13] <mirrakor_> procedure is like this: 1) creating a new dir anywhere you like [i.e. /opt/newvar/] 2.) use cp -a to recursivly copy all the files  from /var/ to /opt/newvar/ (-a keeps stuff like ownership etc.), 3.) umount /var/ 4.)reformat var ith mkfs.ext3 (as sai, you should use -N to set a higher inode count, probably 3 or 4 times the suggestes amount, but this really depends on how much files the tile server will produce - every file needs an
[12:13] <mirrakor_>  inode), 5.) mount the freshly formated partition to /var/ and the last step would be 6.) use cp -a again to copy the files from /opt/newvar/ to /var/ again
[12:14] <LeniOO> anyone know how can I force format on a read-only usb drive?
[12:14] <mirrakor_> LeniOO: specify read only
[12:15] <LeniOO> in a sec
[12:15] <SoulRaven> ther is any oficial drivers for intel 945gm?
[12:16] <mirrakor_> SoulRaven: tried the Intel website?
[12:16] <LeniOO> that's what I get when I try to format this drive in gparted: Error creating file system: helper exited with exit code 1: cannot open /dev/sdb1: Read-only file system
[12:16] <SoulRaven> or what drivers ar recomandet, because i have try with xorg-edgers fresh X crack and i get only debsktop background and cursor mouse
[12:16] <newnoise> mirrakor_: thanks. how would I use the mkfs.ext3 command with -N to create 4 times of the suggested amount?
[12:16] <Pitel> how is oneiric friendly with sandy bridge?
[12:17] <mirrakor_> Pitel: runs here
[12:17] <mirrakor_> newnoise: uhm, I think if you try to run mkfs.ext3 on the partition it should calculate a value and prints it, then you have to enter y or so to proceed with the formating, if you abort here you can take the calculated value and multiply it as you with
[12:18] <LeniOO> mirrakor_: and that's what I get when I try to delete partition: http://pastebin.com/CTWavJus
[12:18] <SoulRaven> mirrakor_: what is you sugestion, oficial drivers or xorg-edgers fresh X crack
[12:19] <newnoise> mirrakor_: what do you think of this: the / partition doesnt use its space at all
[12:19] <mirrakor_> SoulRaven: I really can't tell you that (did you check the ubuntu wiki?) since I don't own this hardware, but if there's nothing in the wiki, I'd try the official intel driver (http://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Internet+Devices&ProductLine=Netbooks&ProductProduct=Mobile+Intel%c2%ae+945GM+Express+Chipset+Family)
[12:19] <newnoise> what about cutting 200gb from it and mounting it to /var/lib/tomcat/mytiles and formatting this drive with a lot of inodes?
[12:19] <mirrakor_> LeniOO: is there some switch on the usb drive to mechanicly set it to read only?
[12:20] <Holden> Hello people :) any news about Firefox 8 reaching the official repos for natty/oneiric?
[12:20] <LeniOO> nope, I don't see anything
[12:21] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[12:21] <mirrakor_> newnoise: if you don't need the space otherwise it's also a working solution - keep in mind that the more i nodes you create the less actual storage you have (it's not that bad, but the inodes which are like metatags attached to the files need storage too, so maybe it would even be interesting to see if there's another filesystem that's better suited for your needs (if you have the free disc space and you're going to use it for the
[12:21] <mirrakor_> server exclusively)
[12:22] <newnoise> mirrakor_: that sounds reasonable. do you maybe have any suggestions?
[12:23] <mirrakor_> oh well, to be honest it's been a while since I looked into that field, you'd have to give me a few minutes (there are in fact fs that are better suited for lots of small files)
[12:25] <newnoise> mirrakor_: and is there a chance to do the repartitioning online?
[12:26] <AbstractBeliefs> hey guys. i installed ubuntu onto my laptop last night, and its all fine until i ran the update manager. let it install what it wanted, but now i have two kernal versions, and neither boot
[12:26] <AbstractBeliefs> any ideas?
[12:26] <mirrakor_> LeniOO: in the meantime could you paste me the following comands to pastebin: sudo fdisk -l ; sudo cat /etc/fstab ; ls -l /media*
[12:27] <stefan___> AbstractBeliefs: What about error output?
[12:27] <MonkeyDust> AbstractBeliefs: in GRUB, can you choose Recovery Mode?
[12:28] <Thelmaria> I ran nvidia-settings, and it informed me I wasn't using the nvidia driver, please run nvidia-xconfig as root to fix and restart x-server. Did that, and on reboot I'm informed the same issue. cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep nvidia returns "Driver "nvidia"".
[12:28] <mirrakor_> newnoise: could you give me a housenumber of the filesize the tiles have?
[12:29] <AbstractBeliefs> stefan___, MonkeyDust: from grub, i have both kernel 32-33 and 32-35, but neither boot (they hang, hitting the power button brings it to the loading screen but powers off). trying the recovery modes now
[12:29] <AbstractBeliefs> screen is blank when hung, too
[12:30] <LeniOO> mirrakor_: in a sec, need to restart, brb
[12:31] <newnoise> mirrakor_: well mapnik stopped working while drawing the 17th of 18 zoom-scales. until then it were about 23M tiles. I think in the end it will at least be around 50M.
[12:31] <mirrakor_> newnoise: you can take a look at e2fsprogs, I think they should be able to resize ext2/3  online
[12:31] <AbstractBeliefs> MonkeyDust, stefan___: recovery modes dont boot. last is see is "/init/bottom \n done"
[12:32] <mirrakor_> newnoise: I mean the size of one actual tiles
[12:32] <mirrakor_> cause if we're using the fs only for tiles, then it might be worth adjusting the blocksize to fit the tiles
[12:32] <Arpit60> hi
[12:32] <mirrakor_> hi
[12:33] <Arpit60> so i booted from usb and selected boot from first hard disk,but nothing,it shows same screen again
[12:33] <Arpit60> so i booted normally and than when i go to home folder it shows my hdd partitions for a second or two and after that they disappear
[12:34] <Arpit60> i cant mount them
[12:34] <Arpit60> problems related to file system ?
[12:35] <Arpit60> so anyone can help me ?

[12:40] <localg0d> AbstractBeliefs: you should reformat and clear out your entire drive intended for your install and proceed to install windows before you reinstall ubuntu or else windows will knock out your boot manager for linux ;) and it should be fine if u do it in that order when you whipe your drive .. goodnight ;)
[12:40] <Hans_Henrik> stefan__: thanks
[12:40] <hrw> hi
[12:40] <hrw> someone here is using gwibber with twitter?
[12:41] <AbstractBeliefs> localg0d, i dont think ill need to go that far xD
[12:41] <localg0d> ok .. now i'm going to sleep ... cause nobody can tell me where i can get a day to date calculator ;o
[12:41] <Invitado34> i changed gforce for ati driver card and now i m having problmes with a java game anything about ?
[12:41] <AbstractBeliefs> localg0d, google, or hit the software centre forit
[12:42] <VEndiX> hello, where can i find full themes for ubuntu 11.10? any ideas suggestions?
[12:42] <localg0d> AbstractBeliefs: looked on google and only found online free versions on websites ... and the software repo got jack for it ;)
[12:43] <AbstractBeliefs> localg0d, im sure if you hit the osftware center, youll be able to find a calendar or diary or journal program that includes a count down option
[12:43] <AbstractBeliefs> especially with xmas a new year so close
[12:43] <MisterMom> VEndiX,  gnome-look.org
[12:44] <Hans_Henrik> why is ubuntu repo's of firefox 5 major release versions out of date?
[12:45] <Thelmaria> Hans_Henrik: Because firefox releases every second day, and the ubuntu release schedule is rather slower then that. Would be my guess.
[12:46] <Random892> Q). can anyone recommend a VPS for 10.04 server ? 256mb 10gb
[12:46] <Thelmaria> Hans_Henrik: You can use a ppa to install whatever firefox you wish, though - see here for some details: (http://www.techdrivein.com/2011/07/firefox-8-is-20-faster-than-firefox-5.html). Or Lady Google.
[12:47] <qwer> add "ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable" to Software Sources if you want the last firefox
[12:48] <hrw> bug 891116 is irritating - did someone got hit by that?
[12:50] <BluesKaj> Hey all
[12:53] <Guest80567> lol
[12:53] <Hans_Henrik> is the default apache2 install single-threaded, and using just 1 core no matter how many connections it has to handle at once?
[12:54] <iceroot> Hans_Henrik: single thread, mutli-process
[12:54] <iceroot> Hans_Henrik: each reqeust has an own process
[12:54] <Hans_Henrik> iceroot: oh, ok.. smart i guess
[12:55] <bullgard4> [Ubuntu 11.10 GNOME Shell 3.2] I wonder what the text means "You are currently on the update channel" that appears if I press in Firefox 7.0.1 > Help > About Firefox?
[12:55] <Hans_Henrik> iceroot: so, if i have 10,000 simultaneous connections, i will see at least 10,000 apache2 processes running, if i get a list of running processes?
[12:55] <FusionX> During installation, how do I know what's happening behind the scenes?
[12:56] <iceroot> Hans_Henrik: no, you system will die before
[12:56] <iceroot> Hans_Henrik: but yes
[12:56] <iceroot> Hans_Henrik: ps aux | grep apache2  will show multiple processes, each is an own connection
[12:57] <Dan_E> Can anyone direct me to some simple instructions to change the grub screen for ubuntu 11.10 I don't like the purple screen.
[12:57] <leotr> hi! my unity is loaded in 2d mode. what can be a problem?
[12:58] <hrw> Dan_E: edit /etc/default/grub?
[12:59] <Dan_E> thanks will look there
[13:00] <Hans_Henrik> iceroot: btw i tried syn-flood testing against an ubuntu+apache2 and xp+xampp's apache2 (with xp unlimited connections patched); and the apache2 server crashed after ~300 connections, but on linux with the exact same hardware (same computer, multi-boot), i cancled the attack after ~2000 connections and the server still loaded quickly, unable to crash or freeze it
[13:00] <FusionX> During installation, how do I know what's happening behind the scenes?
[13:00] <FusionX> The dropdown provides no information
[13:00] <X-tonic> why no firefox 8 yet on apt-get?
[13:00] <iceroot> Hans_Henrik: dont use xampp and/or winxp for servers :)
[13:00] <deej1976> !ff
[13:01] <Hans_Henrik> iceroot: and my friends at tibiafun.eu tried the same against windows 2008 server+xampp's apache, stil crashed after ~300 connections :p
[13:02] <Dan_E> So I am a bit of a noob and I am there but still need instructions on how to do it!
[13:02] <Hans_Henrik> (that was considderably better hardware also iirc)
[13:03] <MonkeyDust> Dan_E: open gedit and there go to /etc/default/grub
[13:03] <dr_willis> Dan_E:  you may want to learn some linux fundamentals befor messing with the bootloader.
[13:05] <FusionX> During installation, how do I know what's happening behind the scenes? The dropdown provides no information
[13:05] <RaTTuS|BIG> FusionX - open a terminal window and type tail -f /var/log/syslog
[13:06] <Dan_E> I just want to add an image to the screen instead of the blank purple screen
[13:06] <IppatsuMan> Hi all. I have a problem with fglrx. I have a ATI Radeon HD 4500 and I use the fglrx-updates driver on Ubuntu Oneiric. Occasionally, my system crashes with a blue screen with stripes. The sys rq key does not work, so I guess that the kernel is dead. I tried googling for my problem but I was not able to find any solution or hint on how to fix it.
[13:06] <IppatsuMan> Xorg.0.log and syslog have no interesting lines. Any hint? Does anybody know this bug? A fix would be great, but even a bugreport on launchpad would be fine.
[13:07] <FusionX> RaTTuS|BIG: I'm in the middle of an installation, how do I open the terminal?
[13:08] <RaTTuS|BIG> FusionX - ctrl-alt-t
[13:09] <Hans_Henrik> basically just did equalent of: apt-get install gcc g++ build-essential apache2 php5 php-pear php5-dev mysql-server         ; now when i try to run pecl install apd; i get  running: phpize \n Cannot find config.m4. \n Make sure that you run '/usr/bin/phpize' in the top level source directory of the module \n\n ERROR: 'phpize' failed \n
[13:09] <Hans_Henrik> any1 know what im missing/doing wrong?
[13:09] <FusionX> RaTTuS|BIG: nothing :/
[13:09] <FusionX> RaTTuS|BIG: Is this a gnome shortcut?
[13:10] <X-tonic> shouldn't eye of gnome be dropped from ubuntu, since it already ships Shotwell? given that cd space is a constraint?
[13:10] <RaTTuS|BIG> FusionX - maybe if you have gone for an install that is not avaialble - you could try ctrl-alt-f1 and open a new terminal window -
[13:10] <RaTTuS|BIG> back in 15
[13:11] <FusionX> RaTTuS|BIG: ah thanks, I'm in xubuntu btw, maybe that's why the shortcut didn't work
[13:11] <ActionParsnip> FusionX: you can install guake and have one that drops down with a shortcut
[13:11] <FusionX> ActionParsnip: I'm in the middle of an installation
[13:12] <z3r0c007> how to remove ppa on 11.10
[13:12] <ActionParsnip> FusionX: gotcha
[13:12] <ActionParsnip> z3r0c007: you can use ppa-purge or software centre
[13:13] <z3r0c007> ok tnxs
[13:16] <bullgard4> [Ubuntu 11.10 GNOME Shell 3.2] I wonder what the text means "You are currently on the update channel" that appears if I press in Firefox 7.0.1 > Help > About Firefox?
[13:16] <gnomerlocker> Why isn't my Firefox updating on Ubuntu 11.10? Does anyone have a similar problem?
[13:17] <ActionParsnip> bullgard4: how did you install the browser?
[13:17] <crizzy> bullgard4: it should say "on the <stable/nightly/whatever" update channel, so basically it means ubuntu has disabled updating firefox from official sources
[13:17] <ActionParsnip> gnomerlocker: which version are you on and which release?
[13:17] <X-tonic> @ gnomerlocker: !ff
[13:17] <X-tonic> !ff
[13:17] <ActionParsnip> X-tonic: you can use:    !ff | gnomerlocker     :)
[13:17] <z3r0c007> i have a problm also about firefox
[13:18] <X-tonic> !thanks | ActionParsnip :P
[13:18] <bullgard4> ActionParsnip: I installed it automatically when dist-upgrading from Ubuntu 11.04.
[13:18] <z3r0c007> the firefox 7.0.1 have error upgrade your firefox into firefox8
[13:19] <Dan_E> is this the line i edit? GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
[13:19] <ActionParsnip> z3r0c007: there is a PPA with firefox stable builds
[13:19] <dr_willis> Dan_E:  depends on whatg you are wanting to do.
[13:19] <ActionParsnip> Dan_E: to add bootoptios, yes
[13:19] <z3r0c007> yap
[13:19] <bullgard4> crizzy: Thank you for commenting.
[13:20] <ActionParsnip> Dan_E: after adding it you will need to run:  sudo update-grub   to apply

[13:22] <gnomerlocker> ActionParsnip: So, what should I do?
[13:22] <z3r0c007> PPA doesn't support but you can install the PPA

[13:25] <Lunar_Lander> hello everyone, I got a short question
[13:25] <Lunar_Lander> I wanted to download ubuntu from the ubuntu site and where are the checksums for the ISO files?
[13:25] <RaTTuS|BIG> ask it then Lunar_Lamp
[13:26] <bullgard4> What programs are using the environment variable DESKTOP_SESSION?
[13:27] <ActionParsnip> gnomerlocker: you can get ver 11 from the daily build ppa if you are feeling brave
[13:27] <aguitel> Lunar_Lamp, http://releases.ubuntu.com/11.10/ see there
[13:27] <Lunar_Lander> cool, thanks!
[13:28] <gnomerlocker> ActionParsnip: Thanks. Works now.. Not up for 11 though. :P
[13:28] <ActionParsnip> gnomerlocker: sweet, not tried 11 myself, but I don't use firefox
[13:29] <Lunar_Lander> OK, have a nice day then! :)
[13:30] <gnomerlocker> ActionParsnip: Me neither, but it should bring some new features (http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/11/firefox-11-alpha-to-land-december-20th-will-bring-speed-dial-chrome-migration/)
[13:30] <puwei> hello , everyone, could you tell me how can i  rotate my term screen ( ctrl+alt+1)   90 degree
[13:30] <ActionParsnip> gnomerlocker: you can install speed dial as an addon
[13:30] <bakhtiyor> hi everybody
[13:30] <gnomerlocker> ActionParsnip: Really?
[13:31] <puwei> hello , everyone, could you tell me how can i  rotate my term screen ( ctrl+alt+1)   90 degree
[13:31] <ActionParsnip> gnomerlocker: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/speed-dial/    Opera has had speed dial for AGES
[13:32] <gnomerlocker> ActionParsnip: Yeah, I know about Opero. Had no idea you could have that in Firefox as well :P
[13:32] <dr_willis> puwei:  you refering to the console display? or the X sessions display?
[13:32] <ActionParsnip> gnomerlocker: Chrome has speed dial 2 which has a real nice text based export/import feature
[13:33] <ActionParsnip> gnomerlocker: opera had speed dial in 2007 :)
[13:33] <lokidervish> speed dial is boss
[13:33] <dr_willis> puwei:  the consoles an use the framebuffer, so it might be doable with the various fbset or other fb settings..
[13:33] <dr_willis> Using Opera on my PC and Phone. :)
[13:33] <ActionParsnip> Funny how firefox only just introduced it...

[13:44] <elz89> speedy139: have you tried asking in #jack?
[13:45] <mutante> ActionParsnip: ok thanks, this was also meant as a test if this is "known problem" on recent upgrades
[13:45] <speedy139> sorry how can i ask in the termina if jack was started
[13:45] <rootux> is it possible to send picture through the irc net?
[13:46] <mutante> rootux: yes, using DCC file transfer
[13:46] <MonkeyDust> idd
[13:46] <ActionParsnip> mutante: the package manager doesn't like overlapping files which is why you get the error
[13:46] <MonkeyDust> mutante was faster ;)
[13:46] <RaTTuS|BIG> rootux yes but you probably dont want to
[13:46] <Dice-Man> hi

[14:01] <ubidoobi2> also was wondering - since i'm obviously running without a swap here how much this will slow down the system.  or will it with 5 gb of ram.
[14:02] <adi11>  hi all. i have some problems with my laptop hp dv 6700. installed latest ubuntu. when i boot after grub screen i choose ubuntu. but it fails to load the os one out of two times. anyone any idea what that might be? thanks
[14:02] <ActionParsnip> ubidoobi2: probably none at all unless you start running a LOT of apps
[14:02] <oogabooga> anyone have a broken AMD CPU they would like to sell?
[14:02] <ActionParsnip> !ot | oogabooga
[14:03] <ActionParsnip> prashant_123456: you can pastebin that text, no need for an image
[14:03] <ubidoobi2> ActionParsnip - takes about 10 seconds to load Chrome after fresh boot .. seems like a long time to me.  It is next to instant in win7 on the same machine
[14:03] <prashant_123456> ActionParsnip, how to pastebin pls explain the simple way
[14:03] <RaTTuS|BIG> ls -l | pastebinit
[14:03] <RaTTuS|BIG> or whatever command
[14:04] <bullgard4> ubidoobi2: Take am Ubuntu live CD and use GParted to repair the swap partition.
[14:04] <bullgard4> ubidoobi2: Take an Ubuntu live CD and use GParted to repair the swap partition.
[14:04] <ActionParsnip> prashant_123456: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit
[14:04] <ActionParsnip> ubidoobi2: different OS with different mechanisms
[14:05] <ubidoobi2> bullgar4: can i do it from within ubuntu? .. i don't have a live cd .. i did this install from the alternative cd because the live would not recognize the drive at all
[14:05] <_Boot> It's kind of funny, without the ATI proprietary driver everything works quite nicely
[14:05] <ActionParsnip> ubidoobi2: swap is only used if you fill your RAM up, like swap space in Windows
[14:05] <prashant_123456> ActionParsnip, it says need to install pastebinit
[14:05] <ActionParsnip> prashant_123456: yes, install it.Its a fantastic app
[14:05] <RaTTuS|BIG> prashant_123456 sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[14:05] <prashant_123456> ActionParsnip, ok
[14:05] <bullgard4> ubidoobi2: No. You'll need a live CD.
[14:05] <Gorkyman> hey guys... how do I limit the command output by page? :)
[14:05] <ActionParsnip> pastebinit should be default installed imho
[14:05] <xananax> Sorry to be a bother but I really need the help, I have a lot of work and my pc is simply not usable, re-install is not an option (no time!) please can anyone point me in the right direction? Nautilus is frozen, desktop is frozen, and of course everything related to nautilus freezes too
[14:06] <ActionParsnip> Gorkyman: could pipe into less
[14:06] <_Boot> One thing that has changed since installing/uninstalling the driver is my tty font has gone back to the chunky one rather than the default
[14:06] <_Boot> How do I revert the tty font?
[14:06] <ActionParsnip> _Boot: change the font rendering level
[14:06] <_Boot> How do I do that?
[14:06] <bullgard4> Gorkyman: Append '| more' to your command.
[14:07] <Gorkyman> yeah thats what I was after
[14:07] <Gorkyman> thanks
[14:07] <rootux> what can u do with pastebinit?
[14:07] <ActionParsnip> _Boot: system settings
[14:07] <ubidoobi2> bullgard4 : any idea what would happen if i tried doing this from within ubuntu? ... this is how the swap was setup at install ... so not like i would be changing any data on it .
[14:07] <ActionParsnip> rootux: pipe command outputs and files to it and it will make a URL
[14:08] <ActionParsnip> rootux: saves having to use a browser to pastebin files, waaaaaay faster
[14:08] <prashant_123456> ActionParsnip, http://paste.ubuntu.com/740237/
[14:08] <lokidervish> would there be any obvious concerns with installing win7/ubuntu/backtrack5r1 on single machine? my concern is mainly with the two flavors of linux on the same machine, thanks in advance
[14:08] <_Boot> ...new system settings... can't find anything related to font rendering
[14:09] <adi11> hi all. i have some problems with my laptop hp dv 6700. installed latest ubuntu. when i boot after grub screen i choose ubuntu. but it fails to load the os one out of two times. anyone any idea what that might be? thanks
[14:09] <bullgard4> ubidoobi2: You do not want to change data on a swap partition? I believe that you do not know the proper use of a swap partiton yet. Get informed about the basic functionality of a swap partition.
[14:09] <ActionParsnip> _Boot: http://www.techotopia.com/index.php/Configuring_Ubuntu_Desktop_Fonts
[14:09] <prashant_123456> ActionParsnip, http://paste.ubuntu.com/740237/
[14:10] <_Boot> its the tty fonts i mean, like when you ctrlaltF1
[14:10] <Bhavesh_> ActionParsnip: Well if you have used a Nokia phone before, how would I boot from MicroSD like I do on my PC?
[14:10] <ubidoobi2> bullgard4: .. i know what the swap is for .. but obviously there is something within that partition telling the partition what it actually is ... isn't there? LOL
[14:10] <ActionParsnip> Bhavesh_: no idea, sorry
[14:10] <ActionParsnip> prashant_123456: use bleachbit, it will clean a lot of space out
[14:11] <_Boot> and 11.10's appearance settings are a little cut down now anyway :/
[14:11] <Menthane> Guys I'm making a bootable USB but unetbootin' has done 5% of the unarchiving in like 12-15 minutes. Apart from unetbootin' what could I use instead?
[14:12] <rootux> what is the command to scent wirless networks?
[14:12] <bullgard4> ubidoobi2: The formatting of this partition determines in this case the basic functionality of this partition.
[14:12] <edbian> rootux: sudo iwlist scan
[14:12] <ubidoobi2> bullgard4 ... i'll give it a whirl and hope for the best.
[14:12] <bullgard4> rootux: 'scent'? please explain what you mean.
[14:13] <_Boot> can anyone tell me what the default FONTFACE/FONTSIZE settings are in /etc/default/console-setup ?
[14:14] <rootux> sry bullgard4 i thought it's the same  as tracking
[14:14] <prashant_123456> ActionParsnip, thanks
[14:14] <ubidoobi2> bullgard4: .. it gave me an error .. would not format to swap.
[14:15] <rootux> what is the sense of this red line?
[14:15] <afrodeity> I am looking for a bulk email verifier, anybody?
[14:16] <ActionParsnip> _Boot: 16 here in Precise
[14:16] <bullgard4> ubidoobi2: I have never had this error message. Please google for it.
[14:16] <_Boot> ah okay thanks, something has changed mine to 16 in Fixed
[14:16] <rootux> how can i quit irssi in the terminal? (i try q and "exit")
[14:17] <ActionParsnip> _Boot: mine is fixed too: http://paste.ubuntu.com/740245/
[14:17] <somsip> rootux:  type /quit
[14:17] <ActionParsnip> rootux:type;   /quit
[14:17] <_Boot> Hmm what.
[14:17] <ubidoobi2> bullgard .. yeah something is wrong there .. i manage to get it unallocated ... but when i go to format ... none of the options highlight - swap, ext4 etc.
[14:17] <_Boot> Since the ati driver it's gone into a smaller DOS-style font
[14:17] <_Boot> is all i can describe it as anyway
[14:17] <_Boot> instead of the nice sharp one before
[14:18] <_Boot> maybe it was terminus before
[14:18] <_Boot> well I'll try terminus on next boot :D
[14:19] <bullgard4> ubidoobi2: I don't know why.
[14:19] <ZePwincessPearl> hey
[14:20] <ZePwincessPearl> i want to know how to check in on facebook places using a diffrent location as my current one
[14:20] <blackshirt> hey
[14:20] <rootux> if i typ "sudo iwlist scan" it shows the network card. How can I list the wirless networks in my area?
[14:20] <scriptwarlock> let me try here: FXComposeContext: illegal window parameter: aborted in libfox1.6 oneiric, any ideas?
[14:21] <ZePwincessPearl> ooh sorry can anyone suggest me a channel to talk on facebook stuff kinda new here
[14:22] <ActionParsnip> _Boot: try gnome-tweak-tool
[14:22] <rootux> how can i list wirless networks in the termianl?
[14:22] <_Boot> hmm?
[14:22] <llutz> rootux: iwlist s
[14:23] <_Boot> will give it a try if my console-setup config doesnt work :V
[14:25] <scriptwarlock> let me try here: FXComposeContext: illegal window parameter: aborted in libfox1.6 oneiric, any ideas?
[14:26] <Snicksie> scriptwarlock, have you reported a bug about this?
[14:27] <ActionParsnip> _Boot: yep, gnome-tweak-tool has a fonts section
[14:27] <scriptwarlock> Snicksie, yes but very desperate to have the solution since my software is very important for my cyber cafe shop
[14:28] <afrodeity> ok, found a solution, I need to install vrfy

[14:42] <vooze> I just did somthing "bad" I guess. I used the tool in ubuntu (start disc somthing) to create a USB to have iso's on it.. but after i plugged in the WD external harddrive i just clicked "delete drive" like ubuntuforums or somthing said, but now i cant see the drive
[14:42] <vooze> any ideas?
[14:43] <RedArmy> Is Ubuntu One uninstallable in 11.10?
[14:43] <vooze> RedArmy: sure, just go to software center and remove
[14:43] <AdvoWork> if i have /var/www/dir/dir/images/NEWcompleted -> /home/NEWcompleted   what is the original source of the files?
[14:44] <|Slacker|> RedArmy, guess so...check the software center
[14:44] <RedArmy> I assume removing it will also remove the annoying 'avaialble for purchase' stuff when searching in unity
[14:45] <dyd> how can i list the software i have installed?
[14:46] <zmbmartin> Is I switch from workspace 1 to workspace 4 google chrome closes. I can switch to workspace 2 or 3 but once I switch to 4 it closes. Anyone else seeing this?
[14:47] <BluesKaj> dyd,  dpkg --list | grep ^ii.* | cut -d ' ' -f 3 | sort | less
[14:48] <dyd> BluesKaj: thanks
[14:49] <zmbmartin> nevermind it is a keybinding issue.
[14:50] <X-tonic> shouldn't eye of gnome be dropped from ubuntu, since it already ships Shotwell? given that cd space is a constraint?
[14:50] <zmbmartin> how come gwibber will run in the background not in my alt-tab running apps, but I still get notifications and updates... but thunderbird does not?

[15:25] <elz89> vooze: use unetbootin.
[15:25] <ActionParsnip> elz89: xpud is decent too
[15:25] <vooze> elz89: gparted cant see it :/
[15:25] <compdoc> vooze, you might unplug the external and plug it in again
[15:25] <elz89> ActionParsnip: xpud is news to me, thank mate.
[15:25] <panv> hi, I am trying to disable my laptop touchpad when i have a normal mouse plugged in... but I don't know how to do that... please i need some help... I use ubuntu 11.10
[15:25] <vooze> compdoc: done it like 10 times :)
[15:25] <KittyBunny> ActionParsnip: Then help me upgrade.
[15:25] <compdoc> vooze, then nm
[15:25] <KittyBunny> Everytime I upgrade my sound fails to work.
[15:25] <KittyBunny> and nobody in here seems to know how to fix it.
[15:26] <kanhiya> ActionParsnip: Thanks
[15:26] <ActionParsnip> KittyBunny: I'd install Oneiric clean, alternatively you can sit on Maverick til April next year and install Precise Pangolin which is LTS
[15:26] <KittyBunny> ActionParsnip: Oneiric?
[15:27] <ActionParsnip> !oneiric | KittyBunny
[15:27] <vooze> elz89: unetbootin cant see the drive either
[15:27] <LogicallyDashing> There are a bunch of fuser processes making my computer slow. I want to find out why they're starting. So I guess I want to know what process launched some other process. How do I do this?

[15:28] <burgerillo> Hi.. in ubuntu 11.04 and now 11.10 ubuntu could not install grub loader to /dev/sda... now my computer wont even boot to the ubuntu usb disk!
[15:28] <KittyBunny> ActionParsnip: I can only seem to upgrade to 11.04
[15:28] <burgerillo> Does anyone recognize this well known bug and know the fix?
[15:28] <elz89> burgerillo: what can you boot to?
[15:28] <burgerillo> I remember many people had the same issue when I had it with 11.04
[15:28] <ActionParsnip> KittyBunny: you will need to upgrade to Natty (11.04) first, then to Oneiric (11.10)
[15:28] <burgerillo> elz89: nothing
[15:29] <xsl> Does anyone use istanbul with Oneiric?
[15:29] <elz89> ok got a rescue medium?
[15:29] <iceroot> !anyone | xsl
[15:29] <burgerillo> nope.
[15:29] <KittyBunny> ActionParsnip: brb booting into test partition.
[15:29] <kanhiya> I usually disable my touch pad by double tapping  near a LED provided at the edge & LED start glowing in Windows, in Ubuntu 11.10 touchpad is working but i am not able to disable it by tapping near LED, which software to download for that
[15:29] <vooze> elz89: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/508707/
[15:29] <BluesKaj> burgerillo, why not just upgrade via the 'net
[15:29] <xsl> Wen i start istanbul i dont see any output or place to click .. im missing a tray or something
[15:29] <LogicallyDashing> kanhiya: you can disable the doubletap in system settings
[15:30] <burgerillo> Because i prefer wiping and doing a clean install
[15:30] <ActionParsnip> kanhiya: does it make an evernt in xev?
[15:31] <lockergnomer> Can someone tell me why this is happening to me on Ubuntu 11.10? http://i43.tinypic.com/2v9rak0.png
[15:31] <kanhiya> LogicallyDashing: I am saying to disable touch pad entirely when i tap twice near LED provided on touchpad
[15:31] <xsl> What desktop session record tool should i use in oneiric ?
[15:31] <ActionParsnip> lockergnomer: thats the grid plugin
[15:31] <rozaq> haii
[15:31] <kanhiya> ActionParsnip: I don't understand
[15:31] <imbezol_> lockergnomer: virtual machine?
[15:31] <ActionParsnip> lockergnomer: if you grab a window and drag it to the left that will happen
[15:31] <rozaq> i want to get yahoo messngger..
[15:31] <BluesKaj> burgerillo, well, good luck
[15:32] <ActionParsnip> kanhiya: xev is a terminal command
[15:32] <rozaq> how to get installer ?
[15:32] <kanhiya> oh!
[15:32] <LogicallyDashing> kanhiya: oh, well, it's really just a workaround but there's a panel applet to lock the mouse pointer
[15:32] <lockergnomer> ActionParsnip: I knew that already, but I haven't dragged anything. It just appears out of nowhere.
[15:32] <newnoise> hum. I dont know what to do know. i changed partition size with resize2fs but if i look now with "df -h" it still has the same size
[15:32] <lockergnomer> imbezol_: No.
[15:32] <vooze> rozaq: i think pidgin can do yahoo
[15:32] <elz89> vooze: can you not just do what I asked?
[15:32] <ActionParsnip> lockergnomer: drag something there, it may make it go away
[15:32] <vooze> elz89: what did i miss ? :/
[15:32] <KittyBunny> ActionParsnip: Ok i'm booted into natty now.
[15:32] <ActionParsnip> rozaq: there use to be gyahe
[15:33] <ActionParsnip> *gyache
[15:33] <kanhiya> LogicallyDashing: Tell me about the app & how to add that to taskbar
[15:33] <KittyBunny> I've launched the Update Manager.
[15:33] <lockergnomer> ActionParsnip: I know about that too, but the thing is that it's really annoying me since it happens like very time I go to the left.
[15:33] <KittyBunny> Guess what?
[15:33] <KittyBunny> Theres no upgrades
[15:33] <ActionParsnip> lockergnomer: do you use the snap feature?
[15:33] <KittyBunny> How do I upgrade?
[15:33] <ActionParsnip> !upgrade  | KittyBunny
[15:33] <lockergnomer> ActionParsnip: No.
[15:33] <KittyBunny> k
[15:33] <ActionParsnip> lockergnomer: then disable the plugin. It will make the WM use fewer resources too
[15:33] <elz89> vooze: why not just do what you were asked to do?
[15:34] <lockergnomer> ActionParsnip: What's the plugin's name in CompizConfig?
[15:34] <ActionParsnip> lockergnomer: you can disable stuff in ccsm, you don't have to keep the default stuff enabled
[15:34] <ActionParsnip> lockergnomer: its called: grid
[15:34] <elz89> vooze: lsusb | pastebinit
[15:35] <AdvoWork> if i have /var/www/dir/dir/images/NEWcompleted -> /home/NEWcompleted   what is the original source of the files?

[15:36] <lockergnomer> ActionParsnip: Ah, what a relief! Thanks.
[15:36] <newnoise> hum. I dont know what to do know. i changed partition size with resize2fs but if i look now with "df -h" it still has the same size
[15:37] <LogicallyDashing> kanhiya: it appears I was remembering something from xfce and not unity or gnome. sorry
[15:37] <blackshirt> p
[15:37] <LogicallyDashing> anyway the answer to my previous question was pstree
[15:38] <kanhiya> ActionParsnip: It doesnot make a event when i try to disable touchpad by tapping near end
[15:38] <kanhiya> i am using a synaptic touchpad
[15:39] <elz89> vooze: is the drive plugged in?
[15:39] <vooze> elz89: yes, just tryed to plug it in another usb, was outcome

[15:42] <Alphahunter> hello
[15:43] <Alphahunter> This is a cool irc
[15:43] <rootux> does anybody know a good python tutorial ?
[15:43] <auronandace> rootux: they would in #python
[15:43] <elz89> !google | rootux
[15:43] <Alphahunter> theres one called a byte of pythin
[15:44] <elz89> well... that told me.
[15:44] <lgp171188> Hi, in my oneiric installation, sounds in pidgin alone suddenly stopped working after upgrades. Any ways I can debug and fix the issue? I can hear the sounds in pidgin preferences menu when I trigger the preview .
[15:45] <rootux> still waiting for a useful tip...
[15:45] <auronandace> rootux: have you asked in #python?
[15:46] <rootux> i will thx
[15:48] <xsl> !video editor
[15:49] <auronandace> xsl: you could try openshot
[15:50] <xsl> auronandace : i was googling and found a name - cinelerra
[15:50] <xsl> but will give openshot a try
[15:51] <somsip> rootux: Python The Hard Way could be worth a try
[15:52] <rootux> somsip: :)
[15:52] <newnoise> is it possible to run gparted from terminal?
[15:53] <newnoise> !info gparted
[15:53] <zykotick9> xsl, cinelerra is sorta pro-grade (i don't find it very stable however), openshot and pitivi are more consumer oriented video editors
[15:53] <auronandace> newnoise: you can launch it yes, but if you want a cli partitioner you may want to try fdisk
[15:54] <xsl> zykotick9 : as long i can put some sound on the video and cut some frames, im happy
[15:54] <newnoise> auronandace: can i shrink a partition with fdisk?
[15:54] <zykotick9> xsl, try openshot and/or pitivi then
[15:54] <auronandace> newnoise: don't know sorry, man fdisk and find out
[15:55] <rumpe1> newnoise, no
[15:55] <zykotick9> newnoise, parted is the cli version of gparted
[15:55] <rumpe1> newnoise, for shrinking you would need to adapt the filesystem on the partition. fdisk only manages the sizes and location of the partitions.
[15:56] <newnoise> rumpe1: can i shrink a partition with parted?

[15:56] <bugweed> hi, may i know what is the name of the screen before the login?
[15:56] <pedrosans> Hi all, have anyone experienced a bad substitution problem while using maven in ubuntu?
[15:56] <newnoise> zykotick9: sounds good :)
[15:56] <somsip> bugweed: Plymouth?
[15:57] <auronandace> bugweed: you mean during boot? plymouth
[15:57] <bugweed> somsip: ok, then how do i edit them in ubuntu 11.10?
[15:57] <somsip> bugweed: <shrugs>
[15:57] <bugweed> anyone know how to edit plymouth on ubuntu
[15:58] <Ghost1227> anyone know how to change the libnotify display location?
[15:58] <Spikes> hi all, If i'm using ssh key with passphrase to connect to remote server should ssh ask for passphrase every time i log in?
[15:58] <zykotick9> bugweed, this is from 10.04 but might still work http://ubuntuguide.net/howto-change-plymouth-themes-initial-splash-screen-in-ubuntu-10-04
[15:59] <MonkeyDust> Spikes  no
[15:59] <Spikes> MonkeyDust, damn, any ideas why it keeps asking for it?
[15:59] <somsip> Spikes: depends if you've set up gnome-keyring to remmeber it
[16:00] <pedrosans> clear
[16:00] <MonkeyDust> Spikes  it should be stored somewhere, known_hosts or so
[16:00] <gwb_> Hi -- Sometimes when I'm using ubuntu 11.10, a friend wants to check email.  I let her use the guest account.  at that point, two users are logged in (me and guest).  Also, CPU util. goes crazy, concentrated in Xorg.  Is this a bug or something I have to live with?
[16:00] <newnoise> but can i use parted to resize the partition without losing the data?
[16:01] <Spikes> MonkeyDust, ok, thanks
[16:01] <zykotick9> newnoise, there is always a risk resizing partitions - i'd have a backup if i where you
[16:01] <Juser23> hi
[16:01] <Spikes> somasin, i don't think i did
[16:01] <scriptwarlock> Ghost1227, try this trick http://www.webupd8.org/2010/07/patched-notifyosd-updates-option-to.html
[16:01] <Spikes> somasin, it's a server, after all
[16:01] <newnoise> zykotick9: i did a backup. but theoretically if everything goes well parted resizes without losing data, correct?
[16:02] <zykotick9> newnoise, that's the plan ;)
[16:02] <somsip> Spikes: I have previously seen people who have problems gettin keyring to startup properly. Someone sent me a webpage recently with some interesting info on it...
[16:02] <RaTTuS|BIG> newnoise - best bet really - make a backup of all your data elsewhere - then fiddle as your going to trash your partition table anyway -
[16:02] <auronandace> gwb_: don't you have to log out for your friend to login as guest
[16:02] <auronandace> ?
[16:03] <newnoise> I'm scared ...
[16:04] <tapas> on a system with automatic logon, how do you restart the user session?
[16:04] <tapas> i trief sudo stop gdm && sudo start gdm
[16:04] <tapas> but that doesnät really work
[16:04] <tapas> desktop doesnt show
[16:04] <tapas> so i have no X atm to check the web :(
[16:05] <auronandace> tapas: are you using 11.10?
[16:05] <tapas> i think its 11.04
[16:05] <tapas> let me check (not my computer)
[16:05] <tapas> yep
[16:05] <tapas>  /etc/issue says 11.04
[16:06] <idefix> can you receive dutch tv with linux?
[16:06] <newnoise> well I cant use parted anyway as my drives use some incompatible features
[16:06] <MonkeyDust> idefix  wij zitten ook op #ubuntu-nl
[16:06] <newnoise> jeeez. a whole working day blown for like nothing up to now ...
[16:07] <gwb_> auronandace: nope
[16:07] <Ghost1227> scriptwarlock: nope... and i actually want to change the monitor it's displayed on
[16:07] <Ghost1227> good try though
[16:07] <flourish> hi, quick question about system beep. now i cannot disable system beep. When i do shutdown -h xxx, it beeps very minute
[16:08] <flourish> modprobe -r pcspkr doesn't work
[16:08] <gwb_> auronandace: just click on my name and choose the guest account from the dropdown
[16:08] <tapas> aah, sudo killall Xorg did the trick
[16:08] <auronandace> gwb_: oh, fast user switching
[16:09] <newnoise> can anyone guide me through repartitioning my server. Im lost
[16:09] <alteregod> hi
[16:09] <alteregod> i need those file rtl8168f-1.fw - where can i get them?
[16:09] <gwb_> auronandace: yep, but slower performance (much slower)
[16:10] <leotr> hi! when i select "restart" in unity system menu it's not restarted but throws me to user selection screen. What can cause that?
[16:10] <tapas> it seems playing with the compiz setttings manager destroyed the new gnome shell
[16:10] <tapas> classic mode works..
[16:11] <puff> I've been using skype chat on this windows machine to chat with people at work.  Is it possible to chat via linux?
[16:11] <puff> I'm already using empathy with googletalk for non-work stuff...
[16:12] <johnm> puff: there is a skype client for linux.
[16:12] <auronandace> !skype | puff
[16:12] <puff> Cool.
[16:12] <scriptwarlock> Ghost1227, oh i thought it was the notify location
[16:15] <Spikes> somsip, fixed the proble. If you're interested, apparently my ssh-agent was not bahaving as it's supposed to , so i had to use command 'exec ssh-agent bash' and then ssh-add to add passphrase so it'll be used automatically while sshing
[16:16] <tjader> How can I make it so that non-admin users can connect to networks?
[16:16] <tjader> In 11.10 it always tries to save the network configuration system-wide, therefore requiring admin credentials
[16:16] <tjader> In 11.04 and before it saved the configuration for the current user only by default, that was much better
[16:19] <bugweed> after installing sun java 6, how do i make sure it is running and not open jdk
[16:19] <bugweed> second, how do i remove open jdk completely
[16:20] <snikker> hi i've got nvidia and intel graphics card on my notebook. how can i use nvidia card with full 3d support?
[16:21] <puff> Hm, okay, so I followed the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype and added the canonical partners repo, "sudo aptitude search skype" shows the skype package...
[16:21] <newnoise> can anyone explain my what resize2fs does exactly? it just changes the filesystem-size, but not the partition size, correct?
[16:21] <puff> ... but "sudo aptitude install skype" gets:  Couldn't find package "skype".  However, the following packages contain "skype" in their name: pidgin-skype pidgin-skype pidgin-skype-dbg pidgin-skype-dbg skype skype4pidgin skype4pidgin
[16:21] <dtigue> snikker: i would disable the onboard video in the bios first
[16:21] <puff> And I see skype right in the middle of that list...
[16:22] <tjader> newnoise: yes
[16:22] <dtigue> snikker: then reboot and run additional drivers to install the nvidia drivers
[16:22] <snikker> dtigue: i can't disable the onboard in the bios, no option available
[16:22] <tjader> You have to adjust the partition size accordingly before/later if you are growing/shrinking.
[16:24] <gaurav_sood91> hello all
[16:24] <__vincent> How would I install grub to the MBR of a new hard disk?
[16:24] <KittyBunny> anyway.....................................
[16:24] <KittyBunny> Hi!
[16:24] <__vincent> Grub is already installed on the disk, i just need to put it in MBR
[16:24] <KittyBunny> OUCh
[16:24] <__vincent> i cant find the exact command
[16:24] <KittyBunny> I wanted to thank him. :(
[16:25] <gaurav_sood91> i am using ubuntu oneric on an amd radeon hd 6470m card and i am unable to successfully install it. i tried #ati but they were unhelpful there. any ideas on how to accomplish that. also, is my card compatible with gnome-shell?
[16:25] <DaSkySkyLineB> does anyone know how i can find the anonops server again?? sry that i ask but i was in the hospital for 3 weeks and now i can't find it :/
[16:25] <gaurav_sood91> i run gnome-shell on fallback mode
[16:25] <newnoise> tjader: ok. how do I do this?
[16:25] <gaurav_sood91> what i did to install the driver was to enable the driver from additional drivers. but i get an error when i run fglrxinfo
[16:26] <KittyBunny> DaSkySkyLineB: Offtopic but feel free to PM me and i'll tell you where it is there. :)
[16:26] <dtigue> snikker: then just only use the nvidia port and run additional drivers
[16:26] <archenom> mmm nvidia drivers
[16:27] <snikker> dtigue: i've aleady installed nvidia drives from repo, but doesn't work
[16:27] <snikker> *drivers
[16:27] <Ghost1227> scriptwarlock: what you sent should allow adjusting location, but only within the set screen
[16:27] <Ghost1227> for me it's displaying on the wrong monitor altogether
[16:29] <__vincent> how do i know my my harddisk + boot partition number is grub?
[16:29] <dtigue> snikker: what doesn't work ?
[16:29] <__vincent> mine is /dev/sdb1 the boot partition
[16:29] <barcef> Is there any way to mute the speakers on my laptop when i plug in my headphones? I have to keep going into the sound preferences and changing the audio output.
[16:30] <gaurav_sood91> barcef: should they not automatically get muted? this is actually what happens in mine
[16:30] <snikker> dtigue: i don't have 3d support and glx...
[16:30] <Tech-1> just installed DEVEDE and it quits after 2 mins, is there something missing ?
[16:31] <barcef> gaurav_sood91,  There is no fix for this? When I boot into windows they mute automatically when I plug in my headphones. In ubuntu they don't. There has to be CONF file somewhere I can edit this behaviour.
[16:32] <gaurav_sood91> barcef: i dont know. let me check if there is, cos i did not have to change anything and they automatically get muted
[16:33] <gwb_> Hi -- Sometimes when I'm using ubuntu 11.10, a friend wants to check email.  I let her use the guest account.  at that point, two users are logged in (me and guest).  Also, CPU util. goes crazy, concentrated in Xorg.  Is this a bug or something I have to live with?
[16:33] <zykotick9> Tech-1, when you say "quits" do you mean the program crashes?  If so, try starting devede from a terminal to see if you get any useful output.
[16:34] <KittyBunny> k
[16:34] <Tech-1> zykotick9-  no, it finalizes like its done, but only gives 2 mins of iso
[16:34] <zykotick9> !tab > Tech-1
[16:35] <zykotick9> Tech-1, sorry I don't have any suggestions then.  I haven't used devede in quite a while.  Good luck.
[16:35] <Tech-1> why give be the ubotto mssg, i tab all the time
[16:36] <aar> Hi, how can I stop someone from resetting my root password by booting in rescue mode (when they have physical access to the computer)?
[16:36] <Tech-1> that made no sense
[16:36] <DaGeek247> eir is a bot, why is he allowed here?
[16:36] <zykotick9> Tech-1, you tried "zykotick9-" which is NOT my nick - so i didn't get highlighted, wouldn't happen if you used TAB
[16:36] <Tech-1> o ic
[16:36] <DJones> aar: You may be able to disable usb & cd booting in bios and then set a password on the bios to somebody re-enabling them
[16:37] <Tech-1> the - is what i use on all the tabs i tab
[16:37] <Tech-1> instead of a ,
[16:37] <DJones> *so somebody can't reanable
[16:37] <genii-around> aar: Consider uncommenting #GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_RECOVERY="true" in /etc/default/grub   and updating grub. Then you need to boot from livecd
[16:37] <zykotick9> Tech-1, xchat isn't smart enough to see it as the proper nick
[16:37] <aar> DJones, genii-around, thank you
[16:38] <Tech-1> im on xchat and never had any issues,
[16:38] <genii-around> aar: You're welcome
[16:38] <zykotick9> Tech-1- did that highlight you?
[16:38] <Tech-1> i c now
[16:38] <Tech-1> ok
[16:39] <ringberar> hey could someone help me with a hard drive partition problem?
[16:39] <Tech-1> zykotick9,
[16:39] <ringberar> it would be much appreciated
[16:39] <Tech-1> better ?
[16:39] <zykotick9> Tech-1, much better ;)
[16:40] <Tech-1> k
[16:40] <ringberar> is there any way you guys could point me in the right direction to get some help?
[16:40] <dury> hi there channel :)
[16:41] <Tech-1> zykotick9,  before i go, can i change mencoder to ffmpeg in devede ?
[16:41] <zykotick9> Tech-1, no idea?
[16:41] <Tech-1> heh]
[16:41] <Tech-1> ok
[16:41] <dury> is it worth to upgrade to 11.04
[16:41] <alazare619> !best bot
[16:42] <alazare619> !bestbot
[16:42] <zykotick9> ringberar, could you ask a more specific question?  perhaps someone can help you but "hd partition problem" is very broad.
[16:42] <ringberar> i understand
[16:42] <ringberar> well
[16:42] <Tech-1> seems like faster these linux oss;s spit sht out, its getting to be like american made cars, 4 wheels and half a motor.
[16:43] <ringberar> im not EXTREMELY experienced with using linux and i want to install windows 7 as a seperate os on my system
[16:43] <ringberar> when i try to install it from the cd rom boot
[16:43] <ringberar> it says i need an ntsc partition
[16:43] <ringberar> i have no idea how to make that nor anything to do with partitions on a linux system
[16:43] <ringberar> i only know how to on win
[16:43] <dury> sorry I'm to 11.10
[16:43] <zykotick9> ringberar, it's NTFS BTW ;)
[16:44] <ringberar> thanks :l
[16:44] <nbf> does anyone have any good documentation on making Ubuntu 11.10 less horribad
[16:44] <dury> is it worth to upgrade to 11.10?
[16:44] <nbf> dury: god no
[16:44] <Tech-1> lol
[16:44]  * Tech-1 snickers
[16:44] <zykotick9> ringberar, assuming your current linux install takes your entire disk, you'd need to resize it to leave blank space for Windows to install into.  gparted from a LiveCD might help.  Good luck.
[16:45] <neronin> for 24 hours now i have tried to understand why this happens: When i log on to my ubuntu machine via ssh, the connection from that machine to my router brakes (both machines are behind the same router). I have a third ubuntu machine, with, as far as i can see, identical settings, with which i have no problems. Can any one shed some light on this?
[16:45] <Lasers> nbf: Using Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS or different distros. :)
[16:45] <Tech-1> ubuntu better straighten up or they will soon be out of the ball park
[16:45] <dury> nbf: what u mean?
[16:45] <nbf> dury: the desktop in 11.10 is completely different
[16:45] <nbf> and it's different in a bad way
[16:45] <nbf> if you mean server, it might be worth it if you want newer packages
[16:45] <Barbarian> !nounity | nbf
[16:46] <Pumpkin-> being an xfce user has made all this pain kinda easy to avoid. I'm not saying that is a solution for you, but it works for me.
[16:46] <dury> nbf: I guess you can put it in a classic gnome desktop
[16:47] <zykotick9> Tech-1, check Distrowatches' 7 day popularity - Ubuntu is plummeting, currently 5th most popular
[16:47] <dury> nbf: there must be that choice
[16:47] <Tech-1> ya, i was gonna say that, but some diehards may not have liked it
[16:48] <Tech-1> but its the truth'
[16:48] <bakhtiyor> hi. I have iptables with a rule -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 3306 -j DROP
[16:48] <Barbarian> To be honest, I think the new interface is a lot easier for newbies to use.
[16:48] <Tech-1> im almost considering going back to gentoo
[16:48] <bakhtiyor> I need to allow connection to 3306 from localhost
[16:48] <bakhtiyor> how do I do that_
[16:49] <eukreign> is there a way to get the windows aero snap in unity 2d?
[16:49] <harovali1> hi, a blackout left ubuntu system at booting, like this: http://bpaste.net/show/20294/ , how can I resolve this ?
[16:49] <Tech-1> you cant put a cell phone on a desktop and say  "here it is new and improved"
[16:49] <AdvoWork> if i have /var/www/dir/dir/images/NEWcompleted -> /home/NEWcompleted   what is the original source of the files?
[16:52] <zykotick9> harovali1, assuming no changes where made prior to the power loss - i'd boot a livecd and try to fsck your partitions.  Grub isn't seeing a / partition, is my interpretation of your pastebin.
[16:52] <harovali1> zykotick9: thanks
[16:53] <nbf> bakhtiyor: one way would be to add a -J ACCEPT in before the DROP rule but only for localhost
[16:53] <white_magic> is there some app in ubuntu which sets up Windows-like keyboard shortcuts? I'd just rather not do this myself
[16:53] <bakhtiyor> nbf: could you pls tell me how
[16:54] <bakhtiyor> sudo iptables -A INPUT -s localhost -d localhost -p TCP -dport 3306 -j ACCEPT
[16:54] <bakhtiyor> i am doing that but it says error
[16:55] <Wi1d> --dport
[17:01] <nbf> bakhtiyor: you need to insert it before the other rule
[17:01] <nbf> -A appends the rule to the end
[17:01] <nbf> -I 1 puts the rule in the first spot in the table
[17:02] <yacc> Any hints how to install Ubuntu onto an USB Flash stick best?
[17:02] <MonkeyDust> unetbootin
[17:03] <om26er> yacc, you want to install ubuntu on it?
[17:03] <bakhtiyor> nbf: but  sudo iptables -A INPUT -s localhost -d localhost -p TCP -dport 3306 -j ACCEPT giving error and not letting me to add this rule
[17:03] <RaTTuS|BIG> yacc http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ if you have windows
[17:03] <om26er> yacc, or want to make it bootable?
[17:04] <yacc> om26er, yeah, basically my "laptop-on-a-stick" workplace => >90% places were I might end up away from the office have a PC, and in the worst case, I do have an Acer One (the one with the really sad SSD inside) that I can use for the seldom cases that I'm somewhere without a PC.
[17:05] <yacc> RaTTuS|BIG, well, I've got explicitely no Windows, I need to "borrow" a Windows Box for any Windows-only stuff :)
[17:05] <om26er> yacc, just install on it as a normal drive
[17:06] <yacc> om26er, grub installed to the mbr of the USB stick, that's it? And how to handle hardware autodetection?
[17:06] <om26er> yacc, it should just work
[17:07] <om26er> yacc, you must have a faster drive ;)
[17:07] <zykotick9> yacc, don't expect "great" performance from a USB install
[17:09] <sledges> hello
[17:09] <yof> hi
[17:09] <yof> someone there?
[17:09] <dury> nbf: are u there?
[17:10] <RaTTuS|BIG> yacc - I've got ubuntu runing on an 8GB pendrive - I've formatter as ext2 with a few options to hepl the speed - also see putting /tmp on a ram disk
[17:11] <RaTTuS|BIG> [I'veually had it running OK on  a 4GB drive ]
[17:11] <sledges> Can I just install Ubuntu 11.10 to USB Stick instead of a hardrive, choose /dev/sdb for GRUB and hope it will work? I tried LiveLinux with Persistence, but after having activated restricted drivers for my wi-fi, system could no longer boot normally after restart. Thanks!
[17:11] <RaTTuS|BIG> sledges yes
[17:11] <zykotick9> RaTTuS|BIG, 4GB isn't even recommended HD size for modern Ubuntu installs - it's too small
[17:12] <RaTTuS|BIG> zykotick9 - you can do it but you ahve to trim - 8GB is ok though
[17:12] <ezee> i just installed ubuntu server 11.10, and open ssh...how do i check to see if  open ssh is running?
[17:12] <RaTTuS|BIG> zykotick9 I've got 11.04 running on an eeepc 701
[17:12] <sledges> RaTTuS|BIG: thanks, in the failed LiveLinux case I tried it with Linux Mint (so it was an Ubuntu 11.04 fork)
[17:13] <RaTTuS|BIG> ezee ssh localhost
[17:13] <newnoise> so after all i managed to shrink the size of one of my partitions in a software raid 1
[17:13] <zykotick9> RaTTuS|BIG, lol - i've owned 3 eeepc 701s - i know how cramped 4GB is ;)
[17:13] <newnoise> now i want to create a new partition with the new unused space
[17:13] <newnoise> can anyone tell me how to do that
[17:13] <RaTTuS|BIG> zykotick9 ;-P
[17:14] <zykotick9> newnoise, so long as it's blank space, i think the windows installer should be able to handle it
[17:14] <ayman> hello
[17:15] <newnoise> zykotick9: well its on a remote server, so i have to use linux terminal commands
[17:15] <RaTTuS|BIG> newnoise - sudo fdisk /dev/sda ,- or whatever it is
[17:15] <zykotick9> newnoise, for making an NTFS partition?  good luck.
[17:15] <newnoise> I dont want no NTFS partition
[17:16] <zykotick9> newnoise, i thought you wanted to install windows - sorry, perhaps i'm confusing you with someone else.  sorry.
[17:16] <newnoise> RaTTuS|BIG: the problem is that it is a raid, when I use fdisk /dev/md it says "unable to open"
[17:16] <mattalexx> How can I set up samba server so that it uses system logins instead of its own login database?
[17:16] <newnoise> zykotick9: no problem ;)
[17:17] <flea> anyone available to help with midi (usb midi) setup?  TIA - i am exhausted from contradictory search results

[17:23] <luis_> Running 11.04 can anyone tell me the advantages of upgrading to 11.10?
[17:24] <Goollash> a little better on the interface side
[17:24] <llutz_> luis_: do you miss something? if not, stay with 11.04
[17:24] <Goollash> less buggy
[17:25] <dragomir> hi everyone - i would like to know how to set docky moved up above the bottom panel. ubuntu 10.04
[17:25] <Goollash> of course, I wouldn't know as much as I'd like to—I can't get the darn thing working on my Macbook air 4-2
[17:25] <luis_> llutz: don't miss anything But being on this channel I sure have noticed people having a lot of problems with 11.10
[17:27] <llutz_> luis_: people always have trouble after upgrading. but simple thing: if your system works and you don't miss anything then don't touch it.
[17:27] <skpl> ew burnt toast
[17:27] <luis_> llutz: very true Thaks

[17:44] <adi11> hi. why is it that i boot on my gnu/linux os successfully once every two times? anyone can help.. thanks
[17:45] <RobinJ> help! this has killed my X server it seems! http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/24670/choose-at-grub-menu-whether-nvidia-driver-should-be-used/24671#24671
[17:45] <Goollash> @ adi11: is it exactly every other time or just about 50%?
[17:46] <adi11> after grub selection it goes on and tries to load ubuntu. but it fails every two times
[17:46] <adi11> Gollash : once in two.
[17:47] <adi11> after it fails it goes in initramfs. after that only ctrl +alt+del
[17:47]  * AKQJ10 porra de equipe
[17:49] <adi11> than i restart and it loads the os but it seems that some hangs are there too.
[17:50] <Goollash> sorry in lecture hold on
[17:57] <CaptainPlanet> So is this the technical support channel or the off-topic/open discussion channel?
[17:58] <igetroot> CaptainPlanet, hard to tell all ive seen is alot of joins-parts lol
[17:58] <CaptainPlanet> Haha.
[17:58] <igetroot> theres few other channels too, ubuntu-devel ubuntu-hardened ubuntu-one
[17:58] <igetroot> etc
[17:59] <trijntje> Hi all, i'm trying to get my laptop to use apt-cacher on local network, but I keep getting timeout errors. What can I do to fix this?
[17:59] <CaptainPlanet> Hmmm... I just installed X-Chat, so I'm new to the program. Seems easy though.
[18:00] <CaptainPlanet> apt-cacher? hmmm.... I'm not too familiar with that. Is it like apt-get?
[18:00] <lotuspsychje> im looking for an xvidcap equivalent
[18:01] <nispaur> hi
[18:01] <nispaur> It's an english channel here, right ?
[18:01] <trijntje> CaptainPlanet: no, its a caching server for debian packages, so when you have multiple ubuntu machines on the network you only have to download updates once
[18:01] <trijntje> nispaur: yes
[18:01] <nispaur> ok, thanks trijntje
[18:01] <CaptainPlanet> Ahh, I see.
[18:03] <CaptainPlanet> Anybody know a good PPA for games? I'm looking for MMORPG's to play.
[18:03] <jutnux> I dislike pre-12 year olds on the Ubuntu facebook :'(
[18:04] <jutnux> CaptainPlanet, Have you tried Googling? I'd help but I'm no games person (other than Xbox).
[18:04] <saymoo> i dislike ubuntu for being on facebook :P
[18:04] <lorddelta> CaptainPlanet: Games, on linux? Don't you know you you're on the wrong OS? :P
[18:04] <jutnux> saymoo, Me too. I have them on G+ but you can't wall psot.
[18:04] <jutnux> lorddelta, There are games.
[18:04] <saymoo> lorddelta: Don´t you know you have wine?
[18:05] <saymoo> :P
[18:05] <lorddelta> CaptainLinux: Though I found a link buried in my bookmarks the other day with some games for linux in it.
[18:05] <CaptainPlanet> Yeah, I have. And Google is just crap. I get really specific with Google's search, and it still gives me crappy links. =/
[18:05] <lorddelta> saymoo: haha yes, doesn't work with everything.
[18:05] <jutnux> CaptainPlanet, Works fine for me!
[18:05] <jutnux> Chrome is amazing too.
[18:05] <CaptainPlanet> Hahaha! That is funny, lorddelta.
[18:06] <CaptainPlanet> I've got Wine, it's just that I don't have any games on Windows. And I kinda shrunk Windows down a little too much. Lol
[18:06] <lorddelta> Indeed. But, still, I bet you won't find Skyrim running on *nix for a couple years to come....
[18:06] <lotuspsychje> whats a good flv stream recorder for ubuntu
[18:08] <lorddelta> And its not that Linux is incapable of running skyrim. Just that it really is still the wrong os for "serious" gamers.
[18:08] <lorddelta> Me, I play flash games. :P
[18:08] <lotuspsychje> lol
[18:10] <CaptainPlanet> I use Jolicloud for regular use, but Ubuntu when I want to do a lot of stuffs.
[18:10] <CaptainPlanet> Like play Final Fantasy 7. ^^,
[18:11] <lokidervish> grr i need a new laptop bag - any suggestions? (i know off topic)

[18:14] <Jonii> I thought if I could make a new user that I could log in instantly that only could access emacs+necessary files
[18:14] <Jonii> Without password needed for login

[18:19] <John> Can someone please help with my wireless connection: I am missing the firmware for  dell inspiron 1750 for wireless
[18:20] <CaptainPlanet> Crud.  I can't get my launch bar and menu bar to show.  =/   John, have you tried looking in Synaptic to find the drivers n' software for your Dell in there?
[18:21] <CaptainPlanet> There's always something in Synaptic that I find helpful.
[18:21] <John> What is synaptic
[18:22] <CaptainPlanet> Synaptic Package Manager
[18:22] <SadlyMistaken> synaptic is the application to look for programs to install or uninstall
[18:22] <Gnea> !synaptic
[18:22] <geoffmcc> John: have you gone into additional drivers and see if all you have to do is activate it?
[18:22] <CaptainPlanet> if you don't have it, get it from the Ubuntu Software Center.
[18:22] <danileigh79> Is there a specific way to change my sudo password or is it associated with my login password?
[18:22] <CaptainPlanet> Login password I believe.
[18:22] <CaptainPlanet> Assuming your the administrator, of course.
[18:23] <John> I have been into additional drivers but nothing comes up
[18:23] <rumpe1> danileigh79, same thing
[18:23] <danileigh79> rumpe1: thx
[18:24] <iceroot> danileigh79: its your user-password
[18:24] <danileigh79> If someone hacked my windows partition, they should not be able to see anything about Ubuntu, right?
[18:24] <CaptainPlanet> Keep in mind that some proprietary hardware/drivers isn't available for Linux.
[18:24] <John> I am downloading the synaptic package manager. WHat is the next step please
[18:25] <iceroot> danileigh79: if you are using ext3/4 drivers on windows, you can access the ubuntu-partitions
[18:25] <CaptainPlanet> I don't know too much about your problem, John, but try typing "Dell" into your search bar in Synaptic
[18:25] <John> okay thanks
[18:26] <danileigh79> iceroot: I'm not, it's using FAT32 and NTFS on my windows partition, I'm just worried because I keep some pretty sensitive info on Ubuntu, stuff that I don't want on WinXP
[18:26] <iceroot> danileigh79: i am talkin about your ubuntu-partiton which is ext3/4
[18:26] <CaptainPlanet> Okay, this is getting annoying:  does anybody know how to refresh or reset the desktop?  I can't get my launch and menu bars to show.  >.<
[18:26] <geoffmcc> John: run lspci -v from command, and tell us what it says your wifi card is
[18:26] <Dany0> hey guys does anyone have an idea how can I  enable user-themes extension in gnome3? I love the way it works, I find it very productive, but they default theme is disgusting and I'm losing it you know, and I can't get user themes to work, yellow triangle in gnome-tweak tool =/ anyone, please?
[18:26] <rootux>  a mate have a problem: he got windows 7 as OS if he start a video (adobe flashplayer) --> he can't move the courser or make anything --> then he have to shoutdown the pcs by pushing the power bottom ... what can we do? (i already ask in the windows channel)
[18:26] <danileigh79> CaptainPlanet: are you using unity or gnome?
[18:26] <Dany0> tried everything, it's just not enabled
[18:26] <iceroot> danileigh79: if it is sensitiv stuff, encryption is a good start
[18:27] <iceroot> CaptainPlanet: unity --reset
[18:27] <danileigh79> iceroot: i thought by putting it on ubuntu instead of winxp, it would be encrypted
[18:27] <iceroot> danileigh79: no not by default, ubuntu is not using encryption by default
[18:27] <Dany0> CaptainPlanet, what shell?

[18:28] <danileigh79> iceroot: is there a way to fully encrypt ubuntu then, I have it set by password, and so far, my winxp part has not been able to detect ubuntu, I want to keep it that way
[18:28] <CaptainPlanet> And i'm using the bash shell

[18:28] <ryuguns> Hello
[18:28] <Dany0> can anyone help me with the themes extension in gnome3?
[18:28] <iceroot> danileigh79: xp cant detect ubuntu because you need ext3/4 drivers as already said
[18:29] <geoffmcc> John: im not seeing your network card listed. scroll threw the output and find the network card
[18:29] <CaptainPlanet> Gotcha.  Thanks Dany
[18:29] <ryuguns> Is  it possible to play TF2 on WINE?
[18:29] <geoffmcc> copy and paste only that - or copy paste whole thing to pastebin and post url to it here
[18:29] <Dany0> CaptainPlanet, you should thank iceroot
[18:29] <iceroot> danileigh79: but with installed drivers you can eaisly access ubuntu-partitons from windows
[18:29] <John> geoffmcc:00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Memory Controller Hub (rev 07) 	Subsystem: Dell Device 0406 	Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0 	Capabilities: <access denied> 	Kernel driver in use: agpgart-intel  00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) 	Subsystem: Dell Device 0406 	Flags: bus master, f
[18:29] <CaptainPlanet> Woot!  Thanks Dany8.
[18:29] <danileigh79> iceroot: ok thx I just want to make ubuntu as secure as possible
[18:29] <iceroot> !appdb | ryuguns
[18:30] <Dany0> CaptainPlanet, also I'm not Dany8
[18:30] <ryuguns> ty
[18:30] <CaptainPlanet> ryuguns, I would assume so....
[18:31] <geoffmcc> John: ok, i think that one is your ethernet port (wired)
[18:31] <iceroot> danileigh79: i am not sure if it is possible to encrypt a partition which is already in use but maybe someone here knows it
[18:31] <CaptainPlanet> Well, I'll just go by your username/nickname that shows up on my screen.  Lol
[18:31] <geoffmcc> John: lemme look something up
[18:31] <rumpe1> danileigh79, a full encryption of ubuntu is usually not necessary (enrypting all the free software packages, manuals, wallpapers, ... ?). Encrypting your user folder in home might be a better idea though, if you want to protect your software profiles, logs, bookmarks.
[18:31] <John> geoffmcc: thanks. is there a way to go into private chat?
[18:32] <Dany0> hey, does anyone have an idea how can I  enable the themes extension in ubuntu? I've tried everything, yellow triangle in gnome tweak tool =/
[18:32] <bjpenn> how do i make ubuntu console resolution bigger?
[18:32] <bjpenn> im not using a gui
[18:32] <CaptainPlanet> Are you talking about stuff like Compiz?
[18:33] <Dany0> bjpenn, zoom
[18:33] <robo> hello: I'm trying to find this key. Any ideas how I can obtain it? I guess I don't understand what's being passed to --recv. apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 7F0CEB10
[18:33] <bjpenn> Dany0, what do you mean by zoom
[18:33] <geoffmcc> John: I sent you a msg check for it, i will be in there
[18:33] <bjpenn> is that a function?
[18:33] <CaptainPlanet> Just a CLI?? Yikes! Keep me away from your computer! Lol
[18:34] <bjpenn> thought it would be a simple question, nobody knwos for real?
[18:35] <xkogex> Go on www.otakustate.com Game, Anime and Manga News and Reviews!
[18:35] <bjpenn> how do i make ubuntu console resolution bigger? im not using gui
[18:35] <TrentonDAdams> Are there any known issues with ubuntu 10.10 regarding memory leaks that simply show up in kernel AnonPages?
[18:35] <llutz> bjpenn: set your resolution in /etc/default/grub, like: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="vga=791"
[18:35] <TrentonDAdams> I've got 8G of memory, and my used AnonPages just keeps going up and up, and I close programs, and it does not go back down.
[18:35] <andygraybeal> what program can recommend which channel i should set my wifi router?
[18:36] <X-tonic> if i want to file a bug about the the default software shipped in ubuntu, under what category in launchpad should i file it?
[18:36] <iceroot> X-tonic: ubuntu-desktop
[18:36] <iceroot> X-tonic: !ubuntu-bug ubuntu-desktop
[18:37] <CaptainPlanet> andy, isn't your router set to WPA2 by default?
[18:37] <iceroot> X-tonic: without the ! of course. just type "ubuntu-bug ubuntu-desktop"
[18:37] <X-tonic> iceroot: k.. thanks, ill do that. :)
[18:38] <mirrakor_> what does one have to do to get a package into the default repository of ubuntu?
[18:38] <falconumber1> ciao!
[18:38] <falconumber1> !list
[18:38] <mirrakor_> (debian policy compliant)
[18:38] <falconumber1> scoregge
[18:39] <popey> mirrakor_: easiest thing to do is get your package into debian, then we sync from there
[18:39] <mirrakor_> hm.. okay, that does sound a little bit complicated but I'm going to pretend ubuntu is just a branch of debian :D
[18:39] <popey> mirrakor_: it is ☺
[18:40] <mirrakor_> popey: yeah, but I'd still have to repackage it I guess (or do the accept packages like flashqard_0.15.0-1ubuntu2?)
[18:40] <popey> mirrakor_: repackage why?
[18:40] <popey> mirrakor_: if you package something for Debian, we sync from debian so we get it (eventually)
[18:41] <mirrakor_> popey: because I already put it in an PPA
[18:41] <popey> mirrakor_: if you want to package something specifically for ubuntu then you can do that of course, but it's nice for everyone to benefit
[18:41] <iceroot> popey: is everything synced from debian (main)?
[18:41] <popey> mirrakor_: ok, then I'd talk to someone in #ubuntu-motu
[18:41] <popey> iceroot: mostly
[18:41] <popey> iceroot: some stuff gets synced from upstream, not debian
[18:41] <popey> and some stuff we build outselves
[18:42] <iceroot> popey: but it contains everything which is also in debian (main) but not always the debian-version
[18:42] <popey> iceroot: not always everything, most things
[18:42] <mirrakor_> ok, thanks :)
[18:42] <popey> np
[18:42] <iceroot> popey: ok, thanks for the info
[18:44] <Dany0> hello? can anyone help me? gnome3? themes? extension disabled? please? hello?
[18:44] <CaptainPlanet> Oh snap.........  Umm.... I think Ubuntu is screwed up really bad.  =/  Should I copypaste the warning messages I'm receiving in the Terminal and send the info to the Ubuntu guys?
[18:45] <xrdodrx> CaptainPlanet, what ubuntu guys? us? if you do and explain what you were doing prior to when they appeared, we might be able to help you, yes
[18:45] <iceroot> !details | Dany0
[18:45] <trijntje> Hi all, i'm trying to get my laptop to use apt-cacher on local network, but I keep getting timeout errors on both the server and client. I've tried to find a solution on the web, but nothing so far
[18:46] <CaptainPlanet> Errm.... The fellows I email to.  'Cause it looks pretty nasty.  =/  I'm chatting on my netbook with Jolicloud along side my laptop with Ubuntu 11.10.
[18:46] <Belerafon> Hi. My screen resolution is 1024x600 and it works fine by default. Today after connecting external monitor I can't  go back to this resolution. In system preferences only 1024x768 and 800x600. How to change?
[18:47] <marko-_-> how do i change encoding in gedit?
[18:48] <CaptainPlanet> I had a few programs running (including Wine setup) and then I decided to close out of them because I wanted to do the first backup of my /Home folder.  Everything was going okay, until I told Wine to exit the setup.  That's when my launch and menu bars disappeared for a while.
[18:48] <X-tonic> iceroot: When i go to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu, and click the "report a bug" on the right pane, it takes me to a wiki page. While if i go https://bugs.launchpad.net/~desktop-bugs or https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-bugs i dont see the option to file a bug.
[18:48] <trijntje> CaptainPlanet: sounds like unity crashed, no big deal
[18:49] <iceroot> X-tonic: type in the shell "ubuntu-bug ubuntu-desktop"
[18:49] <Dany0> !time
[18:49] <Dany0> !servertime
[18:49] <CaptainPlanet> huh.  mkay.
[18:49] <Dany0> iceroot, I've been spamming here for a long time -.-'
[18:50] <Dany0> iceroot, <Dany0> hey guys does anyone have an idea how can I  enable user-themes extension in gnome3? I love the way it works, I find it very productive, but they default theme is disgusting and I'm losing it you know, and I can't get user themes to work, yellow triangle in gnome-tweak tool =/ anyone, please?
[18:50] <CaptainPlanet> Okay, now I can't exit the Terminal because I'm afraid that I'll kill a process that's still trying to do something important----I think.
[18:50] <iceroot> Dany0: if someone is spaming instead of writing usefull infos in one line (and dont repeat every minute) normally the people ignoring such posts
[18:51] <trism> Dany0: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/10/how-to-install-gnome-shell-themes-in-ubuntu-11-10/
[18:51] <osse> How does Gnome generate thumbnails? I found an article describing how to add support for more thumbnails but the default mechanism is apparently not implemented the same way
[18:52] <Dany0> trism, I'll try...
[18:52] <Dany0> thanks
[18:54] <Dany0> trism, made some errors while installing, removed installed again it seems like it workd
[18:54] <Dany0> *s
[18:54] <shaxs> Hello
[18:54] <CaptainPlanet> I found a cool way of finding the manuals for the programs I use in Ubuntu.  Wanna know how?  You might already, but it'll be good for the discussion/other users.
[18:55] <trism> Dany0: what were the errors?
[18:55] <iceroot> CaptainPlanet: man programname?
[18:55] <CaptainPlanet> Yep.
[18:55] <Dany0> trism, I have no idea; "alt+f2 r" and off we go it works
[18:55] <CaptainPlanet> Love that command!  Really helpful too.
[18:55] <iceroot> CaptainPlanet: man man :)
[18:56] <Dany0> trism, oh yeah something about newer version available and then can't write to xml
[18:56] <bytesaber_work> any idears?    http://pastebin.com/nKybbhnX
[18:56] <iceroot> CaptainPlanet: there is also "apropos searchstring" and "info command"
[18:56] <iceroot> bytesaber_work: first idea: dont use a root-shell
[18:56] <Dany0> CaptainPlanet, man is here since 1960's
[18:57] <bytesaber_work> iceroot, any ideas about the problem?
[18:57] <bytesaber_work> iceroot, sudo is pointless if you're just going to type sudo every time.
[18:57] <iceroot> bytesaber_work: its not
[18:57] <bytesaber_work> iceroot, sudo was meant for setting up other users with restricted access.
[18:57] <CaptainPlanet> Lol
[18:57] <bytesaber_work> anyhow, any ideas about the lib?
[18:57] <iceroot> bytesaber_work: root-shell is useless and will break things more easily
[18:58] <bytesaber_work> iceroot, ok
[18:58] <bytesaber_work> iceroot, any ideas about the lib?
[18:58] <iceroot> bytesaber_work: also  apt-file search /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6   is not finding anything on 11.10
[18:58] <moo-> how can i find the list of bugs that affect most people?
[18:58] <bytesaber_work> hmm
[18:58] <bytesaber_work> it appears to be installed *shrug*
[18:58] <kamilnadeem> Hi
[18:58] <kamilnadeem> guys I am facing quite a few problems on kubuntu 11.10 off late
[18:58] <iceroot> bytesaber_work: mom i will update my database
[18:59] <CaptainPlanet> i'm guessing the worst thing you could do is "sudo apt-get remove linux" or something like that? Lmao
[18:59] <kamilnadeem> the sound of the system goes out randomly and then
[18:59] <kamilnadeem> when irun a video file , the player will hang
[18:59] <kamilnadeem> same case while watching youtube
[18:59] <kamilnadeem> also the desktop shell has crashed one time too mnay
[18:59] <kamilnadeem> on me after the 4.7.3 update
[18:59] <kamilnadeem> why is all this happening?
[18:59] <Dany0> trism, thanks
[18:59] <bytesaber_work> iceroot, this is a 10.04 lts  if that matters
[18:59] <CaptainPlanet> Wait---this channel is for 10.04??
[19:00] <CaptainPlanet> like only?
[19:00] <omegalimit> no
[19:00] <CaptainPlanet> oh. k
[19:00] <iceroot> CaptainPlanet: its for every stable ubuntu which is not EOL
[19:00] <iceroot> bytesaber_work: can you do a "dpkg -S /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6"
[19:01] <bytesaber_work> iceroot, http://pastebin.com/3QZDxG7p
[19:02] <rumpe1> bytesaber_work, hm... perhaps because the version isn't exactly 3.4.14 but 4.4.3?
[19:02] <bytesaber_work> rumpe1, could be *shrug*  kinda wondred that
[19:02] <iceroot> bytesaber_work: very nice with that sudo :)
[19:02] <CaptainPlanet> How do I log onto the UbuntuOne-Omg!Ubuntu-let's-talk-about-random-fun-stuffs channel?
[19:02] <bytesaber_work> iceroot, >; )
[19:02] <iceroot> bytesaber_work: i also thing its related to the version
[19:03] <bytesaber_work> ok
[19:03] <bytesaber_work> sounds good
[19:03] <shaxs> Is there an easy way to use say apt-get to install the x.org open source ati driver?
[19:03] <badapple> are you trying to build something from source or installing a package and receiving that error?
[19:03] <bytesaber_work> i'm trying the from site 1.3.8 version of synergy.   It's newer than the supplied one in 10.04.   I'll keep at the supplied older .deb
[19:03] <CaptainPlanet> Nvm, I found it! :D
[19:03] <iceroot> bytesaber_work: but you dont need sudo for dpkg -S :)
[19:04] <bytesaber_work> heh heh true
[19:04] <iceroot> bytesaber_work: yes thats the best way, only use the newer version with a newer ubuntu-version
[19:05] <CaptainPlanet> Is there a command that can fix Ubuntu and/or Unity?
[19:07] <phunyguy_work> CaptainPlanet, is there a command to ban all trolls from this channel?
[19:07] <phunyguy_work> =D
[19:09] <CaptainPlanet> My bad!  I don't mean to be trolling.  I'm still new to Linux, so it's kinda confusing.  =/
[19:09] <MonkeyDust> what do you want to repair?
[19:09] <Barbarian> What's wrong, CaptainPlanet?
[19:10] <oupateddie> is 11.10 only available with unity?
[19:10] <MonkeyDust> oupateddie: yes
[19:10] <Barbarian> !nounity | oupateddie
[19:10] <MonkeyDust> ah, 'only'
[19:10] <bytesaber_work> i bet the unity thing comes in here a 100 times a day
[19:10] <CaptainPlanet> Unity or Ubuntu seems to be broken (I don't know what the heck I'm talking about LOL).  I don't get what's going on with Ubuntu right now, but it's not behaving normally.
[19:10] <Barbarian> bytesaber_work, thats why nounity exists :P
[19:11] <bytesaber_work> Barbarian, lol whats that
[19:11] <Barbarian> !nounity | bytesaber_work
[19:11] <bytesaber_work> i hate that compiz is even broken for gnome3 now
[19:11] <bytesaber_work> Barbarian, right.
[19:11] <bytesaber_work> Barbarian, guess i knew that
[19:11] <oupateddie> !classic
[19:12] <oupateddie> !notunity
[19:12] <Barbarian> CaptainPlanet, any chance you could either be more specific, or post a screenshot somewhere?
[19:12] <bytesaber_work> i hopped over to LTS again.   just so i could have gnome + compiz.    i'm weird i guess for liking my rotating cube
[19:12]  * saymoo wish ubuntu used the vanilla gnome instead of the current mumbo jumbo crappy unity shell...
[19:12] <pnorman> My 11.10 didn't come with unity by default. It came with bash
[19:13] <bytesaber_work> is the ubuntu community in general accepting Unity?
[19:13] <Barbarian> saymoo, it's to be able to use the interface seamlessly when they jump to mobile devices
[19:13] <badapple> I'm not I switched to fedora
[19:13] <CaptainPlanet> I can't post a screenshot because I'm using the chat channel with my netbook. =/  My laptop is the one that has ubuntu on it.
[19:13] <Barbarian> CaptainPlanet, details then. Can you describe whats going wrong?
[19:13] <saymoo> Barbarian, yes, they should make two editions... each edition with their special needs
[19:13] <bytesaber_work> badapple, i enjoy fedora, but it's always dead by the time i get it all configured and a new release is out.
[19:14] <saymoo> as they used to do
[19:14] <bytesaber_work> i used to just use plain ol debian alot.
[19:14] <CaptainPlanet> I'll try.  One second---let me figure out what it is that I'm looking at.  Lol
[19:14] <Barbarian> saymoo, default is always gonna be tailored to newbies, and from experience with them unity is easier for them. Joy of linux is that you can change the defaults any which way you like.
[19:15] <Myrtti> just a reminder for everyone that you can discuss the differenceses of GnomeShell, Unity and Gnome2 in #ubuntu-offtopic as this channel is strictly for support issues
[19:15] <saymoo> this unity, (for desktops) makes Ubuntu (and indirectly GNU/Linux) newcomers and novices a bad taste of what this new OS is all about.
[19:15] <christian_lappy> hwot disable pulse  ?
[19:15] <Barbarian> Myrtti, didn't know that channel existed, thanks for that
[19:16] <zykotick9_> christian_lappy, for one program you can use "pasuspender foo"
[19:17] <christian_lappy> zykotick9_: ok..i have teamspeak using pulse and want give wine direct access to alsa..will that work ?
[19:17] <kernelpanicker> ajoin #.inux
[19:17] <CaptainPlanet> Okay, so my menu bar seems to be working fine again, but my launch bar is messed up because I have the functioning Unity 3D launch bar on top of my crashy not working 2D launch bar.  There's a process in the terminal that's still going, and it's just yelling at me with warning messages.  I think it is because Unity crashed earlier or when I tried to reset it in the command line.
[19:17] <zykotick9_> christian_lappy, no idea - good luck :)
[19:18] <christian_lappy> haha
[19:18] <saymoo> Barbarian, i'm done with these "markisms" (markism = Mark (shuttleworth) his wish, is ubuntu developers command.. meaning if he want something to be included by default, it will be done, no matter if it sucks or not... HE does not care about the community apparently)
[19:18] <Myrtti> saymoo: please take it to some other channel, this channel is for support only.
[19:18] <marsfligth> How to set the 'old' Gnome menu? I mean the one with menus, basically that is default in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. Thanks
[19:19] <Barbarian> CaptainPlanet, any idea what the process is?
[19:19] <Barbarian> !nounity | marsfligth
[19:19] <ThinkT510> saymoo: have you tried alternatives? xubuntu, kubuntu, lubuntu? if you don't like unity, don't use it
[19:19] <LiNuX`sup> is there a way to get network folders to show for example when clicking on upload from a website to upload a picture and it's in a network folder... network folders even ones that are bookmarked do not appear
[19:19] <CaptainPlanet> let me find my task manager.
[19:20] <saymoo> ThinkT510, that's not my point ;) but i am not allowed to discuss this any further (see post of myrtti), so stop that (respecting the request) :)
[19:21] <saymoo> i*
[19:21] <LiNuX`sup> anyone?
[19:21] <jakklyn> Halo
[19:21] <oupateddie> can one rollback from 11.10 to 11.04?
[19:22] <Barbarian> LiNuX`sup, didn't respond because I have no idea ^^
[19:22] <ThinkT510> oupateddie: no
[19:22] <h00k> oupateddie: nicely, no.
[19:22] <Barbarian> oupateddie, not without wiping the partition and re-installing from scratch
[19:22] <jakklyn> NO
[19:22] <CaptainPlanet> Nope, I can't tell which one it is.  Umm.... I got a message that says this:  " ** (gnome-system-monitor:1358): WARNING **: SELinux was found but is not enabled. "  Is that bad?  =O
[19:22] <saymoo> yes... but with too much effort ;)
[19:22] <h00k> Although, if you keep your /home on a separate partition, it may make things like reinstallations easy and not so devistating
[19:22] <h00k> or do backups, or something
[19:23] <jakklyn> SELINUX IS FEDORA HUE
[19:23] <shaxs> I have installed both 10.4 and 11.10. I have a Radeon 3450. Anytime I keep the Radeon in there the system runs slow, mouse moves super choppy ect. If I remove the video card and use on board, it runs great. I have tried installing Catalyst/fglrx and that didnt help. I then purged that driver and all x.org ati related drivers
[19:23] <ssta> backups are harder with modern HD sizes
[19:23] <marsfligth> !unity
[19:23] <phunyguy_work> !caps | jakklyn
[19:24] <phunyguy_work> HAH that was a guess
[19:24] <marsfligth> !notunity
[19:24] <jakklyn> !EAT THE SHIT OUT OF MY ASS phunyguy_work
[19:24] <CaptainPlanet> I'm just gonna restart my computer.....  yeeeaaaaah.....  o_^;

[19:24] <Barbarian> CaptainPlanet, Good luck
[19:25] <jakklyn> !EAT THE FAECES OF OF MY RECTUM phunyguy_work
[19:25] <llutz> !ops | jakklyn
[19:25] <enchilado> Oh dear.
[19:25] <LiNuX`sup> honestly if half you guys tough it up for a few days you will get used to and see the benefits of unity... I think it's only fail which isn't anything major is it's issues with compiz
[19:25] <phunyguy_work> hahaha awesome.
[19:25] <jakklyn> IM INNOCENT
[19:25] <enchilado> LiNuX`sup: I have been using Unity for months.
[19:25] <Barbarian> Instaban
[19:25] <Barbarian> nice
[19:25] <enchilado> I still don’t like it.
[19:25] <pangolin> jakklyn: drop the caps and mind your language please
[19:25] <trinimoses> hi all
[19:26] <llutz> enchilado: then don't use it
[19:26] <jakklyn> OK
[19:26] <phunyguy_work> so he says OK with caps.
[19:26] <phunyguy_work> fantastic.
[19:26] <Barbarian> rofl
[19:26] <trinimoses> I am getting an error in my apache2 log about favicon.ico not found
[19:26] <pangolin> phunyguy_work: I'll handle it.
[19:26] <jakklyn> WHATS THE DEAL BUCKO
[19:26] <trinimoses> how can i stop this error
[19:26] <trinimoses> i dont have a favicon.ico
[19:26] <phunyguy_work> wow, really? ok.
[19:26] <LiNuX`sup> well to each their own...  :)
[19:26] <iceroot> trinimoses: then create a favicon.ico if you want it
[19:26] <phunyguy_work> lol
[19:27] <enchilado> llutz: I won’t be for much longer, but I’m getting a new computer very soon so I’m not bothering to install anything else on this one
[19:27] <iceroot> trinimoses: or download an exisiting
[19:27] <LiNuX`sup> personally the only thing I miss is my pretty compiz effects
[19:27] <Barbarian> trinimoses, Try making one (theres a million web-based image converters online) and see if putting one in there fixes it
[19:27] <cblondin> anyone else here using Irssi?
[19:27] <MonkeyDust> cblondin: yes
[19:27] <Myrtti> cblondin: plenty of people
[19:27] <iceroot> !anyone | cblondin
[19:27] <iceroot> cblondin: #irssi
[19:27] <llutz> enchilado: there are about hundreds of other DE/WMs, just pick a different one.
[19:28] <iceroot> there should be a automated message from ubottu if someone is starting with "anyone"
[19:28] <Barbarian> And pangolin smoteth the infidel. :P
[19:29] <MonkeyDust> anyone knows how to write such an automated script? :p
[19:29] <enchilado> llutz: I know… I’m probably going to try another distro first though, I’ve only ever used Ubuntu and, some years ago, Fedora
[19:29] <ninucs> debian ftw
[19:29] <iceroot> ninucs: #debian
[19:29] <machiolate> what's the purpose of adding a signing key for a program? what exactly does this do?
[19:30] <ninucs> i use ubuntu mainly because of my weird internet connection here at the barrackss, i'm not able to get a recent version of debian
[19:30] <machiolate> cool ninucs, what branch?
[19:30] <llutz> ninucs: tell in #ubuntu-offtopic
[19:31] <ninucs> machiolate: you can verify that you get a genuine version
[19:31] <ninucs> llutz: what to tell?
[19:31] <machiolate> ahh, ok cool. thanks.
[19:31] <llutz> ninucs: all your offtopic stuff
[19:31] <ninucs> ah, sry ;)
[19:31] <saymoo> each topic in ontopic, since it's a topic on it's own ;)
[19:32] <saymoo> so offtopic in essence does not exist
[19:32] <saymoo> :P
[19:32] <machiolate> where would I add this? " curl https://www.kismetwireless.net/code/dists/kismet-release.gpg | sudo apt-key add - " <------ to my sources.list?
[19:33] <llutz> machiolate: just run it once
[19:33] <machiolate> ahh, ok. so just type it into the terminal?
[19:33] <Barbarian> yup
[19:33] <llutz> machiolate: yes, it will get the gpg-key and add it to your system
[19:34] <NesSe> Hi! Does someone know if its possible to install mysql 5.5 on Ubuntu server 11.10? i only find packages for mysql 5.1
[19:34] <Barbarian> saymoo, Which means offtopic is just an excuse to have a normal conversation that meanders through different topics
[19:35] <machiolate> nice, thanks again llutz.
[19:35] <h00k> saymoo, Barbarian: please keep the conversation here ontopic. You're aware of #ubuntu-offtopic.  Thanks :)
[19:35] <Barbarian> :P
[19:35] <saymoo> hehe
[19:35] <saymoo> :P
[19:35] <machiolate> are you a reservist llutz?
[19:35] <llutz> machiolate: nope
[19:36] <machiolate> which branch?
[19:36] <NesSe> my question is in this topic right ?:)
[19:36] <h00k> !ot | machiolate
[19:36] <ninucs> NesSe: why didnÄt you look for it at the distributors website?
[19:36] <machiolate> Anyways, thanks for your service.
[19:36] <saymoo> NesSe, yes itś possible (if there is no ppa you could always compile it from sourcecode).
[19:36] <llutz> NesSe: you'll need to find a ppa with that version or build it yourself
[19:36] <machiolate> That is all.
[19:37] <shaxs> so it seems as though ati support in linux isnt as good as the support for nividia?
[19:37] <saymoo> shaxs, i run with AMD cards, no problems here (runs fast!)
[19:38] <phunyguy_work> shaxs, the open source drivers actually work quite well
[19:38] <shaxs> saymoo im trying to run a hadeon 3450 and as soon as I click my name to login it runs but slow
[19:38] <phunyguy_work> just not sure on gaming performance.
[19:38] <shaxs> very choppy mouse movement like I am remote logged in via the internet...driving me nuts
[19:40] <shaxs> I dont need gaming performance
[19:40] <shaxs> just desktop performance
[19:40] <phunyguy_work> did you install the restricted driver?
[19:40] <phunyguy_work> if so, remove it.
[19:40] <phunyguy_work> i had issues with it as well..  Dual monitors wouldn't work
[19:40] <lars__> hello
[19:40] <shaxs> I have tried installing Catalyst/fglrx and that didnt help. I then purged that driver and all x.org ati related drivers
[19:41] <fission6> i made myself have sudo privellages but it ask me for my password if i do sudo ls or something any ideas how to fix this
[19:41] <saymoo> shaxs, ok, well i have a HD6850 with amd drivers, and i can run quite everything (incl. 3d) witout hickups
[19:41] <shaxs> saymoo so weird. This card was jsut pulled from my main desktop no issues
[19:42] <vip_> hello. can someone tell me please how to add time to mplayer config. ?
[19:43] <saymoo> shaxs, i honestly couldn't tell you what it could be.. (since i have no personal bad referencing point to compare)
[19:43] <_6i> hi guys, i played around  with using jack instead of alsa for a couple of apps, and i ended up somehow making my audio-in unusable -> it's so quiet, that even with max input volume in alsa (over 100%) i get only 1 bar when i hit the mic against the desk (for more subtle stimuli there is no indication of any input..)
[19:43] <_6i> when booting from usb, all works fine
[19:44] <_6i> anyone, any idea?
[19:45] <mant1s> anyone ever have trouble getting Ubuntu installed on an old SCSI seagate cheetah?
[19:45] <machiolate> what is the apt-get command when installing a program to use in order to make sure that you are promted at every possible issue during the install? i.e. that nothing is assumed
[19:45] <vip_> hello. can someone tell me please how to add time to mplayer config. ?
[19:46] <bekks> mant1s: Just ask what you really want to know.
[19:47] <_6i> vip_: time? what do mean?
[19:47] <mant1s> bekks: okay..anyone know if there's a driver for an old SCSI seagate cheetah drive...?
[19:47] <bcx> Hi there, I am having a strange problem where my server boots
[19:48] <bcx> but only after I am sitting at the initramfs prompt
[19:48] <bcx> and type exit
[19:48] <bcx> I don't see any errors in the syslog
[19:48] <bcx> I tried increasing the rootdelay
[19:48] <bekks> mant1s: A harddisk never needed a driver. The scsi controller does need one.
[19:48] <bekks> mant1s: Which install CD did you use?
[19:48] <vip_> normaly u need to press o to mplayer show u time of track I want to he show that by default
[19:48] <bcx> it seems that the only thing that matters is I type exit, at the initramfs
[19:48] <_6i> vip_: you might want to consider writing to #mplayer channel
[19:48] <mant1s> bekks: ubuntu server 32
[19:49] <bekks> mant1s: Which Ubuntu version?
[19:49] <vip_> thanks I didnt know so they have channel
[19:50] <steph_> hello, does anyone know of an active channel discussing Live  USB creation?
[19:50] <mant1s> bekks: it's a poweredge 6450 ;)
[19:50] <_6i> vip_: i would use the command-line parameter explained in the manual page (man mplayer)
[19:50]  * mant1s learns how to use google 
[19:50] <bekks> mant1s: Thats not an Ubuntu version.
[19:50] <webroasters> hi guys. I'm trying to get some videos off of  a canon hd cmos camcorder, and I've got it mounted, and I can see files, but not one particular file like a AVI or similar
[19:51] <mant1s> bekks: ubuntu server 10.04.3 32bit
[19:51] <webroasters> is there a catch or do I need to download a piece of software to do this?
[19:51] <steph_> webroaster-you may have to convert the files into your preferred format.
[19:52] <webroasters> but there's no particular video, it's a bunch of folders with other information inside of them.
[19:52] <steph_> hmmm. some video format has strange file extention.
[19:53] <steph_> check the size of your files and see if any are big
[19:54] <avinashhm> HI , is there any way to check what package a command is a part of ; example scp is a part of openssh-server .. any way to find openssh-server from scp  ?
[19:55] <Micheal`> provides
[19:55] <vip_> that option is not included over there. i read that all ready
[19:55] <llutz> avinashhm: dpkg -L package, dpkg -S file (to find packages), apt-file search
[19:56] <Micheal`> sorry that was yum on the brain
[19:56] <bllz> Hello!  How should I go about enabling cloned display to vga via the command line?  I'm using nvidia proprietary drivers and I don't have access to a WM
[19:57] <_6i> vip_:  i've written to you in priv
[19:57] <bllz> In other words, is it possible to configure nvidia's twin-view without using nvidia-settings?
[19:57] <_6i> bliz: xinerama?
[19:57] <zykotick9> _6i, twinview is nvidia's version of xinerama
[19:58] <avinashhm> llutz, excellent ... dpkg commands i verfied ; but is it apt-file search ? i don't have apt-file ...
[19:58] <basilic3> hello all, I do a mistake, I have remove the libc.so.6 from my system, please help me
[19:58] <kool_tool> Have the scanner bugs been fixed in 11.10?
[19:58] <avinashhm> llutz, even " apt-cache search filename " isn't the one
[19:58] <llutz> avinashhm: apt-file doesn't come by default, it also searches packages not installed which makes it handy
[19:59] <_6i> zykotick9: that is why i suggested xinerama instead
[19:59] <avinashhm> llutz, got it ... i ll install apt-file .. thanks very much man
[19:59] <qirk> Is it possible to adjust "lines per twofingervertscroll" somehow? Would like a smooth scroll as on mac
[19:59] <_6i> zykotick9: it can be set up from xorg.conf
[20:00] <bllz> _6i:  Sorry, I didn't catch your message -- my username has 2 L's =)
[20:00] <zykotick9> _6i, so can twinview ;)
[20:01] <bllz> zykotick9, Do you know where I could find information about setting up twinview non-graphically?
[20:01] <Guest72710> hey guys, help please! I have two graphics cards! why? and how do I know which one I am using?
[20:01] <zykotick9> bllz, you'd need to configure it in /etc/X11/xorg.conf - but no i don't have a link handy.  Good luck.
[20:02] <bllz> zykotick9, ok thanks anyway!
[20:02] <PowerTeam> I wanna play som good all .mod and .xm files. What is the recomende player for use in ubuntu
[20:03] <_6i> bliz: i would use xorg.conf
[20:03] <ThinkT510> _6i: you keep misspelling his nick, its bllz not bliz
[20:04] <CaptainPlanet> what's the command to log out?
[20:04] <llutz> bllz:  http://pastebin.com/0KJvDuLR     maybe it helps you
[20:04] <bllz> _6i, I assumed as much, but do you have any information on how to do this?
[20:04] <bllz> llutz, thank you!
[20:04] <bllz> ThinkT510, thanks ;-)
[20:04] <CaptainPlanet> or a keyboard shortcut?
[20:05] <RudyValencia> How do I put Linux experience on a resume?
[20:05] <RudyValencia> "Linux: Any distribution or from source"?
[20:05] <haylo_> CaptainPlanet, i reccomend find ing the place to change you keybind it is under sytstem settings- RudyValencia tell them you are an awesome haxer
[20:05] <bllz> RudyValencia, open a word processor, type the words, hit ctrl + p =)
[20:05] <bekks> RudyValencia: What is "linux experience"?
[20:06] <RudyValencia> I am writing a technician resume
[20:06] <RudyValencia> and I'm trying to put my skillset
[20:06] <MonkeyDust> RudyValencia: there's this lady Carla Schroder
[20:06] <haylo_> tell them you have experience networking systems running propriatary and free system resources
[20:06] <bekks> RudyValencia: That doesnt have much to do with Ubuntu support I guess :)
[20:06] <RudyValencia> OK
[20:07] <Resistance> RudyValencia:  can i /query you for a sec?
[20:07] <RudyValencia> sure
[20:07] <_6i> bllz: sorry, and in the man page `man xorg.conf' try reading about `Option "LeftOf"' and the similar ones
[20:08] <_6i> bllz: i think it should go in the monitor section, but you'll see
[20:08] <zykotick9> PowerTeam, see if ubuntu has opencubicplayer, it's kinda retro-neat
[20:08] <bllz> llutz, I see in your xorg.conf that you have the option "TwinView" set to "1".  My current xorg.conf has "DynamicTwinView" set to "False" ... do you know if these parameters are equivalent?
[20:09] <magooster> hello
[20:09] <_6i> bllz: btw, i would recommend reading through the whole manual page -- it took me som time to gather the strength, but it was highly informative
[20:09] <natschil> Hello. I have a (password protected) ssh certificate in my home folder for one particular computer. However, even if I connect to other computers, it asks for the password for that certificate. Is there a way to get around this?
[20:09] <bllz> _6i, yes it may well come to that =)
[20:09] <magooster> where can i get help with Thunderbird?
[20:09] <llutz> bllz: idk
[20:10] <PowerTeam> zykes-,
[20:10] <PowerTeam> zykotick9, il check it out
[20:10] <onikk> hi, is there anyone online who'd have the time/patience/expertise to help me enable HDMI output on optimus+ion2?
[20:10] <magooster> where can i get help with Thunderbird?
[20:12] <Barbarian> onikk, you got either ironhide or bumblebee yet?
[20:12] <bllz> If I wanted to set the default monitor to be my external monitor connected via VGA, is "xrandr --output VGA-0 --primary" a safe way to do it?  Is this permanent?
[20:13] <onikk> Barbarian: I tried Ironhide but couldn't get the output working, just the acceleration
[20:14] <Barbarian> onikk, Ok, thats a step in the right direction. Just doing some reading to find out what ion2 is, brb
[20:14] <_6i> bllz: using xrandr is not permanent
[20:14] <bllz> ok
[20:14] <_6i> bllz: however i recall, there has been a way to set xrandr changes to be permanent...
[20:15] <_6i> bllz: i just dont remember how.. :)
[20:15] <bllz> _6i, I suppose I could always use a startup script =/ ... what the hell, I'll bite the bullet and edit xorg.conf.
[20:15] <bllz> _6i, This now has me thinking of that xkcd comic about xorg.conf =)
[20:15] <steph_> hi, does anyone know if it is possible to resize a partition on usb that contains a bootable os???
[20:15] <bllz> steph_, it should be possible
[20:15] <steph_> I have tried with gparted but get an error...
[20:15] <bllz> steph_, what's the error?
[20:15] <onikk> Barbarian: I think the difficulty is that the HDMI port is on the nvidia chip, not connected to the intel chip...
[20:16] <_6i> bllz: i missed that - link?
[20:16] <steph_>  btw it's formatted fat32, 4gb kingston, with debian live in one big partition...
[20:16] <haylo_> steph_ yes but it can be tricky i have had mixed sucess wiht gparted
[20:16] <bllz> _6i, http://xkcd.com/963/
[20:16] <shaxs> Do you think a AMD Sempron 130 Sargas 2.6GHz would be enough processing power to act as a simple media server?
[20:16] <_6i> bllz: thx
[20:16] <steph_> basically i have one big debian usb partition and i want to make it into persistent...
[20:16] <urto> Hi, how can i change the system graphic in gnome?
[20:17] <PowerTeam> I must say i am very please with the new ubuntu on me netbook, on think i didnt like is the default geust user. but i was pretty easy disabel
[20:17] <bllz> _6i, behold the awful truth!
[20:17] <_6i> steph_: if you don't move the partition (change where it starts on the drive), it should work
[20:17] <ShapeShifter499> hi
[20:17] <_6i> btw, does anyone have any idea about my problem? -> i played around  with using jack instead of alsa for a couple of apps, and i ended up somehow making my audio-in unusable -> it's so quiet, that even with max input volume in alsa (over 100%) i get only 1 bar when i hit the mic against the desk (for more subtle stimuli there is no indication of any input..); when booting from usb, all works fine
[20:18] <steph_> i put no space before the partition, only try to make unallocated space after.
[20:18] <Barbarian> onikk, can't seem to find anyone else with your problem, closest is http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1552250 but thats audio, not graphics
[20:18] <marsfligth> !classic
[20:18] <_6i> steph_: i think it should have work, but what the hell, i'm no guru.. :D
[20:19] <ShapeShifter499> I'm trying to set up a certificate authority and I'm getting this error ---> pastebin.com/DcGnH1nA
[20:19] <steph_> _6i: yes me neither
[20:19] <ShapeShifter499> can someone help?
[20:19] <steph_> it  was a big error, but at the end it says:
[20:19] <steph_> libparted messages    ( INFO )
[20:19] <steph_>      	
[20:19] <steph_> GNU Parted cannot resize this partition to this size. We're working on it!
[20:19] <steph_> The file system is bigger than its volume!
[20:19] <vip_> hi. I have problem with mplayer. I try explain what I want. When I open terminal and show to him path to song ( mp3 ) I have sound and all information about that song. When I click by mouse the same song I have only sound - no info at all. My question is: how to set up mplayer to he show u all information about song when u choose track by mouse, not by typping path in terminal?
[20:19] <FloodBot1> steph_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:19] <onikk> Barbarian: yeah, i've seen audio topics too but nothing about video. it's as if everyone elses HDMI is just plug 'n' play :/
[20:20] <gateway_> i installed ubuntu server 11.10 on a gateway all-in-one series ZX and no image displays on the screen
[20:20] <zykotick9> gateway_, tried nomodeset yet?
[20:20] <zykotick9> !nomodeset > gateway_
[20:21] <borisb> I have a problem, Unity won't start anymore on Ubuntu 11.10. It shows the desktop, icons and desktop menu, but the launcher is not showing (It works if I select 2D at the login screen). It worked fine until I opened compiz settings manager and closed it without changing anything. Please help, it's my wife's laptop and she will bite by head off :)
[20:22] <Barbarian> borisb, try doing compiz --replace in terminal if you can get it open without a launcher
[20:22] <ShapeShifter499> I'm trying to set up a certificate authority and I'm getting this error ---> pastebin.com/DcGnH1nA
[20:22] <borisb> Ican on tty1, would that work?
[20:23] <Barbarian> ttyl?
[20:23] <borisb> ctrl-alt-f1
[20:23] <Barbarian> ah
[20:23] <Barbarian> yeah, if you declare --display 0
[20:23] <borisb> ok, will try
[20:24] <bllz> what does DFP-0 stand for in the context of X11?
[20:24] <gateway_> thanks ubottu and zykotick9 i'm reading ubottu's note
[20:25] <Barbarian> !about

[20:26] <llutz> bllz: 1st digital output (dvi here)
[20:26] <bllz> llutz:  oh okay that makes sense.  Would this include VGA as well?
[20:26] <llutz> bllz: vga = analog, so i doubt
[20:27] <bllz> llutz do you happen to know the equivalent for analog?
[20:27] <llutz> bllz: nope
[20:27] <bllz> llutz, okay thanks.  your answer shoudl make googling easier =)
[20:28] <llutz> bllz:  CRTx  i guess
[20:28] <bllz> llutz, I suspect you're right
[20:28] <_6i> bllz: i think it was VGA-0 :)
[20:29] <_6i> bllz: (and so on..)
[20:29] <bllz> _6i, of course!  It's staring right at me too
[20:29] <bllz> and another quick question... what's the recommended way of restarting X from the command line?
[20:29] <bllz> I tried /etc/init.d/X11 restart, but the command wasn't found
[20:29] <Lasers> bllz: Restart your GDM/Lightdm instead.
[20:30] <bllz> Lasers, I don't believe I have that installed
[20:30] <_6i> bllz: i don't know about recommended, but i use the same as Lasers said
[20:30] <talmai> lightdm is the gdm substitute for the newest ubuntu?
[20:30] <bllz> Lasers, I'm running an ubuntu minimal install
[20:30] <bllz> talmai, yes
[20:30] <_6i> bllz: you cannot run a wm without a dm
[20:31] <borisb> @barbarian: I'm getting 'Unknown option --reset'
[20:31] <Lasers> talmai: Yes. Since Unity is not Gnome3. They made their own *dm and it's lighter.
[20:31] <bllz> _6i, I'm not running a wm
[20:31] <_6i> bllz: you do not have a graphical environment?
[20:31] <Barbarian> borisb, just did --help, it's --replace, sry
[20:31] <MonkeyDust> cli
[20:31] <bllz> _6i, maybe I'm unclear on what a WM is exactly, but I don't believe I have one.  I do have a graphical environment, however.
[20:32] <MonkeyDust> a window manager lets you open, close and move windows
[20:32] <bllz> MonkeyDust, okay that's how I understood it
[20:32] <bllz> in that case, no, I do not have a WM
[20:32] <bllz> nor do I want one
[20:32] <borisb> @barbarian: "Fatal: Could not open display". I added --display 0, doing from tty1
[20:33] <Barbarian> try from a higher level, like ctrl+alt+F5
[20:33] <Lasers> bllz: Okay. What are you using?
[20:33] <_6i> bllz: the most common dm-s (desktop managers) are (in ubuntu): lightdm (ships with unity), gdm (ships with gnome), kdm (ships with kde)
[20:33] <bllz> Lasers, this is an ubuntu minimal installation
[20:33] <bllz> Lasers, so I have X11, but no WM
[20:33] <munzxttt> hi! .... first is it true that linux 2.6.28 is not managing power properly and the upgraded karnel has solved this issue ?! ... if so ... how can i upgrade it?! .... btw ,,, i tried to upgrade it following steps showed in this website( http://www.howopensource.com/2011/08/how-to-compile-and-install-linux-kernel-3-0-in-ubuntu-11-04-10-10-and-10-04/)but a got an error!
[20:34] <bllz> or rather, X11 was installed post-hoc
[20:34] <whoever> is there a fix /away to install quanta it seems to not be avilable in 11.10
[20:34] <Lasers> bllz: So you're on irssi right now? You can start X11 with "startx" -- It'll read ~/.xinitrc
[20:34] <borisb> @barbarian: nope, still fatal
[20:34] <bllz> Lasers, starting X isn't the problem.  I'd like to restart it
[20:34] <bllz> Lasers, should I just do a killall xorg?
[20:34] <_6i> bllz: how did you start it?
[20:35] <bllz> _6i, it starts at boot
[20:35] <h00k> !kernelcompile | munzxttt this may help you
[20:35] <Barbarian> borisb, Try it again with -v, and see if you get more detail on that error

[20:36] <bllz> Lasers, I should have mentioned this is via SSH.  No keyboard access =/  It's okay though, I just restarted
[20:36] <bllz> the server that is
[20:36] <scrubuntu> Hello! How do I get rid of this message? Enter password to unlock your login keyring  The password you use to log in to your computer no longer matches that of your login keyring.
[20:36] <surfdue> The user running the bash script is git, an unpriviledged member who only has access to the web directory
[20:36] <_6i> ctrl+alt+backspace restarts the dm if the key combination is even enabled
[20:37] <munzxttt> ubottu : thanks , actually i am a newbie and i dont know what's the benefit of compiling it by my own! :)
[20:38] <slinzex> how can I make identical copy of SOURCE in DESTINATION ? I have problems with files like arcívo
[20:38] <munzxttt> ubottu : lolz :) you are intelligent :)
[20:38] <Barbarian> borisb, Ok, this probably wont work, but worth a try: same thing, but --display:0
[20:38] <Guest29953> is there  a way to rebuild the monitor.xml?
[20:38] <_6i> bllz: i'm guessing here, but maybe `sudo service x11-common restart' could have worked
[20:38] <Lasers> scrubuntu: Install seahorse. You can use blank password (for unsafe) without any password prompt or put in a new password.
[20:39] <Guest29953> I've logged out/in, reset-up nvida-settings, rebooted but there's no monitor.xml
[20:39] <bllz> _6i, I'll give it a shot in about 30s
[20:40] <borisb> @Barbarian: I made a .sh file and ran it, which gave me terminal in X session. I ran 'compiz --replace' from it and it reset the compositioning but still no unity...
[20:40] <Barbarian> borisb, Ok, now type "unity" in terminal
[20:41] <we2seek> hi 2 all
[20:41] <WeissWaschbaer> i need to modprobe pcspkr at startup, how to proceed?
[20:42] <_6i> bllz: i never tried it however -> i always restart the dm with `restart lightdm/gdm/kdm' or `service lightdm/gdm/kdm restart' or `/etc/init.d/lightdm restart' (-||- for gdm & kdm)
[20:42] <scrubuntu> Lasers: Thanks dude
[20:42] <Lasers> scrubuntu: NP.
[20:43] <_6i> WeissWaschbaer: there is a file you have to put the modules name in, but i can't recall which
[20:44] <_6i> WeissWaschbaer: but i remember, it contains only module names, no commands and such
[20:44] <WeissWaschbaer> hmm
[20:44] <Ludo237> Hello :D
[20:45] <machiolate> what is the equivalent of ./configure for ubuntu?
[20:45] <borisb> @Barbarian: Typing 'unity' does nothing. Only suspicious thing is the first line 'unity-panel-service: no process found'
[20:45] <_6i> WeissWaschbaer: i read a tutorial once, where i had to load a module "manually"...i'll try to look it up..
[20:45] <machiolate> or do i need to install ./configure?
[20:45] <Barbarian> borisb, unity --replace also does nothing?
[20:46] <andrew-m> how do you generate a monitor.xml config file?
[20:46] <ThinkT510> machiolate: what are you trying to compile?
[20:46] <h00k> martian: ./configure works, if you're compiling something?
[20:46] <machiolate> kismet
[20:46] <Lasers> machiolate: Check the database for existing package first. Check PPA. If you're not familiar, use ./configure as a last resort. Also, see !checkinstall
[20:46] <h00k> machiolate: kismet is in the repos
[20:47] <h00k> machiolate: you don't need to compile it, you can just apt-get install kismet, or use the Software Center
[20:47] <iceroot> h00k: sudo apt-get install kismet
[20:47] <WeissWaschbaer> _6i: ok ill try looking for it also
[20:47] <iceroot> h00k: wrong nick
[20:47] <machiolate> i'm trying to run it with suid/root privelages which requires downloading, compiling
[20:47] <iceroot> machiolate: sudo apt-get install kismet
[20:47] <machiolate> if i apt-get install i can only run as root it says
[20:48] <h00k> machiolate: so, 'gksudo kismet' from a terminal to run it as root
[20:48] <borisb> @barbarian: what's the equiv. of 'stop gdm' in 11.10?
[20:48] <surfdue> any idea?
[20:48] <iceroot> borisb: sudo service gdm stop
[20:48] <machiolate> i don't want to run as root
[20:48] <machiolate> i'm trying to run it more secure
[20:48] <ThinkT510> iceroot: 11.10 uses lightdm by default, not gdm
[20:48] <h00k> machiolate: then you're not going to get the features that it needs root for
[20:49] <_6i> WeissWaschbaer: patience, i already remembered what the tutorial was for..
[20:49] <machiolate> you can h00k, but you need to compile it by yourself, it takes some work & configuring. i figured it would be a good learning experience
[20:49] <iceroot> borisb: then lightdm if that is the default (i dont know i am not running gnome/unity)
[20:49] <borisb> @iceroot: ty
[20:49] <_6i> WeissWaschbaer: i should have it bookmarked
[20:49] <machiolate> only certain elements of kismet are run as root when you use the suid method of installing
[20:49] <iceroot> machiolate: its always a good idea to be interested in something and learn new things
[20:50] <llutz> machiolate: running it suid/root is as bad as using sudo. it runs with root-permission in both cases.
[20:50] <borisb> @barbarian: nope, 'unity --replace
[20:50] <machiolate> it starts as root then changes to a simple user, isn't that better than just staying as root?
[20:50] <borisb> still does nothing\
[20:50] <whoever> is quanta/quanta -plus really dead?? , not activly developed/maintained?
[20:50] <llutz> machiolate: doesn't make a real difference
[20:50] <machiolate> hell, the developers claim its more secure! wouldn't they know! lol
[20:50] <Barbarian> borisb, Well, you could always sudo apt-get remove --purge unity, then sudo apt-get install unity. Thatd be sure to reset it.

[20:50] <AdhamSabry> hi
[20:50] <machiolate> so they're just pulling my leg eh?
[20:51] <iceroot> whoever: have a look at the site from the maintainers
[20:51] <_6i> WeissWaschbaer: it seams, the file is /etc/modules
[20:51] <bllz> llutz, _6i, Xorg.conf == great success!  Thank you so much for your help!
[20:51] <llutz> bllz: yw
[20:51] <whoever> iceroot: it looks down, can't reach it so didn't know if they are having site problems or dead
[20:51] <_6i> WeissWaschbaer: open your /etc/modules file and add the modulename to the list of modules
[20:51] <bllz> _6i, and the easiest way to kill X11 ended up being "killall Xorg" followed by "startx".  Ugly, but functional =)
[20:52] <AdhamSabry> I have added gnome 3 source to the rep. to be able to update it if there are any updates released, but then I'm unable to open ubuntu software center anymore, so I went back to the reps. and removed it but then I still unable, rebooted many times, and still the problem exists
[20:52] <iceroot> machiolate: but more secure is to use software from the repos which is getting security-updates. compiling stuff by your own will not get any security-updates
[20:52] <iceroot> whoever: ah ok
[20:52] <_6i> WeissWaschbaer: If you are using a standard Ubuntu kernel, this should be all you need to do.
[20:52] <AdhamSabry> and here is the error: E:Type 'ain' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gnome3-team-gnome3-oneiric.list
[20:52] <iceroot> AdhamSabry: paste that file please
[20:52] <iceroot> AdhamSabry: also gnome3 is in the 11.10 repos
[20:53] <AdhamSabry> which file please?
[20:53] <iceroot> AdhamSabry: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gnome3-team-gnome3-oneiric.list
[20:53] <dtoebe> How do I add a path to my bash file for a file in my home folder [using 10.10, with an unencrypted home folder]
[20:53] <machiolate> ok ... I guess I'll just install with the package manager
[20:53] <llutz> dtoebe: create and use ~/bin for own executables, it will be added to your path
[20:53] <Lasers> dtoebe: Put it in ~/bin and hope it works.
[20:53] <reisi> can pulseaudio be configured to always output to both audio devices (integrated and hdmi)?
[20:53] <machiolate> if that's the case
[20:54] <AdhamSabry> there is nothing but "ain" in it, iceroot
[20:54] <c3ll> hey guys
[20:54] <reisi> or somehow auto-switch the outputs (when hdmi is in use, use it, otherwise integrated)
[20:54] <iceroot> AdhamSabry: then delete that file
[20:54] <Barbarian> hey c3ll
[20:54] <dtoebe> Lasers: not sure what that means
[20:54] <iceroot> AdhamSabry: after that it should be working again
[20:54] <AdhamSabry> what is the delete command in terminal please?
[20:54] <iceroot> AdhamSabry: rm
[20:54] <iceroot> AdhamSabry: sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gnome3-team-gnome3-oneiric.list
[20:55] <Lasers> dtoebe: Create a directory 'bin' in your home directory. /home/dtoebe/bin.  Put the bash script there.
[20:55] <iceroot> AdhamSabry: and please remeber, gnome3 is in the 11.10 repos already, you just have to install "gnome-shell" with "sudo apt-get install gnome-shell"
[20:55] <AdhamSabry> I installed it iceroot
[20:55] <AdhamSabry> but it's not there...
[20:55] <adi11> hello everyone. i am having a very funny time with  my ubuntu and i cant seem to find whats going on. latest 11.10 installed on hp dv 6700 amd cpu, nvidia card with proprietary 285 drivers installed, hdd 200gb, dual boot with win7. it fails to load the sys exactly once every two times. after grub page i choose ubuntu and it starts loading the os. immediatley it send  me on a busybox (initramfs) where i give a ctrl+alt+del. after reboot it loads g
[20:56] <iceroot> AdhamSabry: you have to choose gnome3 in the logon-screen as a session
[20:56] <munzxttt> hi! ... how can i upgrade linux kernel  to 3.1 on ubuntu ?!
[20:56] <munzxttt> hi! ... how can i upgrade linux kernel  to 3.1 on ubuntu 11.04 ?!
[20:56] <iceroot> !backports | munzxttt
[20:56] <AdhamSabry> here are the files there iceroot: atareao-atareao-oneiric.list	   sargentd-beaverdbg-oneiric.list	atareao-atareao-oneiric.list.save  sargentd-beaverdbg-oneiric.list.save  n-muench-burg-oneiric.list	   webupd8team-gnome3-oneiric.list	n-muench-burg-oneiric.list.save    webupd8team-gnome3-oneiric.list.save
[20:56] <iceroot> munzxttt: is there a special reason you need 3.1?
[20:56] <adi11> i have never had a trick like this in ubuntu.
[20:57] <adi11> but its like the pc or the os is playing with me.
[20:57] <AdhamSabry> (I'm already using gnome3 iceroot), I'm talking about the update itself
[20:57] <adi11> anyone...
[20:57] <AdhamSabry> I would like it's updates to be included in the update manager
[20:57] <munzxttt> iceroot : i heard and read that 2.6.28 can not manage power properly!
[20:57] <iceroot> munzxttt: 3.1 cant do it too
[20:57] <iceroot> munzxttt: same issue like in 2.6.38
[20:58] <munzxttt> iceroot : :( what about older versions!?
[20:58] <_6i> adi11: haven't you installed ubuntu on an usb stick?.. :D -> some motherboards won't recognize it right after you booted from it
[20:58] <iceroot> munzxttt: imo everything below 2.6.38 is not affected
[20:58] <ardian_> Is PyQt in the repo ?
[20:59] <adi11> _6i : yes
[20:59] <_6i> adi11: the usb stick, not ubuntu
[20:59] <adi11> i installed it fro the usb stick
[20:59] <iceroot> ardian_: find out with "apt-cache search searchstring"
[20:59] <munzxttt> iceroot : so if i fall back to 10.04 would i face the same issue?
[20:59] <_6i> adi11: from is no problem, only to
[20:59] <iceroot> munzxttt: no
[21:00] <adi11> _6i :what do you mean :) i dont understand
[21:00] <iceroot> !info linux-image lucid
[21:00] <ardian_> iceroot, thank you
[21:00] <iceroot> munzxttt: no 10.04 is not affected by that
[21:00] <adi11> i had a iso image of ubuntu and did the install through usb stick
[21:00] <iceroot> munzxttt: but remeber,its not a linux issue, its an issue about bad hardware-developers and strange propitary stuff in that
[21:01] <adi11> _6i : i had a iso image of ubuntu and did the install through usb stic
[21:01] <AdhamSabry> iceroot, how can I know the version of the current gnome that I have?
[21:01] <munzxttt> iceroot : :) .... thanks ! .... one more question plz .... will i need to go through installing drivers headache on 10.04 ... i am linux newbie!
[21:01] <iceroot> munzxttt: normally not, everything should work by default
[21:02] <iceroot> munzxttt: but you can use a live-cd to find out if everything is deteced and working
[21:02] <_6i> adi11: i had run knoppix with a persistent image from a usb stick once (settings and files remain after reboot), and if i restarted, i got a boot failure -> the hardware didn't find the usb stick -> i had to power down and after that it worked again
[21:02] <iamarto> ubuntu 11.10 Rocks. Except for the name maybe, cause I don't get it :)
[21:02] <munzxttt> iceroot : :) thanks you are doing an awesome work! thanks again :) bye!
[21:02] <iceroot> AdhamSabry: i guess "apt-cache policy gnome"
[21:02] <iceroot> !info gnome
[21:03] <hanasaki> is there any target date to fix openjdk7 to not depend on openjdk7?  also to package the sun java7 jdk?
[21:03] <armor-64> Hi I have a problem here!the sound in Ubuntu stopped working!!!!solution??
[21:03] <iceroot> !info gnome lucid
[21:03] <spiky25> good work if it wasn't of unity ...
[21:03] <iceroot> AdhamSabry: yes "apt-cache policy gnome" everything after 1: is the gnome-version
[21:03] <adi11> _6i i used a usb stick to install my ubuntu on my hdd only the first time. now my ubu is on my hdd. and the problem does not concern usb i think..
[21:03] <iceroot> munzxttt: thank you :)
[21:04] <LiNuX`sup> is there a way to enable folder preview of png files for 11.10 without installing compiz?
[21:04] <surfdue> why wont this work? its in the sudoers file "git     ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/fixPermissions.sh"
[21:04] <_6i> adi11: then i have to agree -- no idea then..
[21:04] <iceroot> armor-64: type "alsamixer" and see if something is muted htere
[21:04] <surfdue> git cannot run sudo for that script, still ask for a password
[21:04] <AdhamSabry> alright, iceroot, I hope this make you understand me, the current gnome version is 3.0, while there is 3.2 out there
[21:04] <LiNuX`sup> also is there a preview pane available for 11.10 similar to windows?
[21:05] <llutz> surfdue: you have to add all binaries called by that script to sudoers
[21:05] <_6i> adi11: could you explain your problem a little more clearly?..
[21:05] <adi11> can anyone tell me where to check in order to find whats prevents my os loading after grub screen?
[21:05] <iceroot> AdhamSabry: only a ppa will solve that
[21:05] <surfdue> llutz ok thanks
[21:05] <iceroot> AdhamSabry: or maybe backports from 12.04 but i bet that will kill your system at the moment
[21:05] <AdhamSabry> and how please?
[21:06] <AdhamSabry> I don't understand?
[21:06] <iceroot> !ppa | AdhamSabry
[21:06] <iceroot> !backports | AdhamSabry
[21:06] <armor-64> iceroot: no every thing is 50 %!!!!!something else???
[21:06] <adi11> _6i: a hp laptop. installed ubuntu on it. it goes ok until after grub screen.
[21:07] <AdhamSabry> oh, yes I know ppa, but I believe gnome3 updates ppa is not there
[21:07] <Fusionite> Hey Guys
[21:07] <Fusionite> Question, On my cloak, it says Unaffiliated/Blah
[21:07] <iceroot> armor-64: and not muted? (there is a symbol below that graphs)
[21:07] <adi11> _6i : after that it hangs on the loading ubuntu screen. once every two times.
[21:07] <AdhamSabry> backports, I'm not sure if there is something I have requires "gnome3" updates
[21:07] <Fusionite> How to change to say Ubuntu or something?
[21:07] <iceroot> AdhamSabry: i bet there are ppas for gnome3.2
[21:07] <xangua> AdhamSabry: do you use oneiric¿
[21:08] <AdhamSabry> yes
[21:08] <Randolph> hi all
[21:08] <AdhamSabry> give me the ppa and I will check if it's there
[21:08] <_6i> adi11: if you hit Esc after grub, you will see the programs command-line output which are starting up instead of the startup screen (again Esc switches back to the image)
[21:08] <surfdue> llutz: i added everything in there, git     ALL=NOPASSWD: /bin/chmod,/bin/chown,/bin/bash,/usr/bin/fixPermissions.sh and the bash script is set to 331.
[21:08] <surfdue> 311*
[21:08] <adi11> _6i : so my machine practically fail to boot ubuntu 1 out of 2 times
[21:08] <armor-64> iceroot: yes everythning is ok!!!i forgot to mantion that i am using external PCI soundcard!!!
[21:08] <surfdue> still asking for password
[21:08] <xangua> AdhamSabry: then you have gnome 3.2
[21:08] <whoever> in ubuntu 11.10 how are you supose to add apps to the list ?
[21:08] <AdhamSabry> because what I find through google is pretty not there in my ppa list, so I add it and it doesn't work
[21:08] <AdhamSabry> I updated gnome 3 only
[21:08] <xangua> whoever: sudo add-apt-repository "ppa's name"
[21:08] <Fusionite> whoever : Int he side menu bar?
[21:08] <AdhamSabry> but didn't add it's ppa
[21:08] <Fusionite> In the*
[21:08] <armor-64> iceroot : but the pc is reading the card corectly!!
[21:08] <AdhamSabry> didn't work with me
[21:08] <iceroot> armor-64: with f6 you can choose the soundcard, is the correct one selected?
[21:09] <Anton2k> hhahhah funny ice cream men from africa lol now this is funny http://www.clipcrowd.com/2011/11/funny-ice-cream-men/
[21:09] <adi11> _6i: ok i will try that now.
[21:09] <iceroot> armor-64: in alsamixer
[21:09] <AdhamSabry> please, can you xangua and iceroot, send me the ppa?
[21:09] <adi11> thanks
[21:09] <xangua> AdhamSabry: you make no sence, ubuntu oneiric comes with gnome 3.2 by default
[21:09] <iceroot> AdhamSabry: i dont know a ppa about it i am not using gnome anymore, so my only answer to that ppa would be google, sorry
[21:09] <_6i> adi11: when a "bad" boot is in order, hit Esc, and whatch out for any error msgs
[21:09] <llutz> surfdue: 311??? it has to be readable to be executed
[21:09] <Fusionite> whoever : ??
[21:09] <iceroot> xangua: with gnome 3.0
[21:09] <AdhamSabry> well, the current gnome is gnome 3.0
[21:09] <surfdue> llutz: i dont want other users able to see it
[21:09] <AdhamSabry> while there is gnome 3.2 but I dno't have it
[21:10] <iceroot> !info gnome | xangua
[21:10] <whoever> Fusionite: yes the side bar and ie : i had to download vuescan and it does not show up when i search in dash
[21:10] <surfdue> llutz: i thought sudo would make it readable since the users essentially is root
[21:10] <llutz> surfdue:it _has to be readable_ to be executed
[21:10] <adi11> _6i: ok i will do that now and report back :) thanks
[21:10] <surfdue> llutz: works for me under root
[21:10] <AdhamSabry> yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss iceroooooooooot
[21:10] <Fusionite> whoever : Should we do this in a PM??
[21:10] <armor-64> iceroot : yes i check that too but nothing!!!it's weard because one day when i open the pc it wasind working,the on board sound is working!!
[21:10] <iceroot> armor-64: sounds strange, sorry dont know another solution
[21:10] <AdhamSabry> that is what I have iceroot and xangua
[21:10] <whoever> Fusionite:  sure
[21:10] <surfdue> llutz: works now
[21:10] <Fusionite> Okays
[21:10] <surfdue> llutz: still 311
[21:11] <AdhamSabry> !info gnome | xangua
[21:11] <llutz> surfdue: really? ... sry then, i was wrong
[21:11] <surfdue> llutz: ya its funny git cant even read the file with sudo. but can execute it :)
[21:11] <iceroot> AdhamSabry: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppas/18
[21:11] <surfdue> isnt that why we have execute, read, write?
[21:11] <surfdue> ;)
[21:11] <iceroot> AdhamSabry: use at your own risk
[21:11] <surfdue> llutz: you did help me with the binaries ty.
[21:11] <_6i> adi11: write in priv if i dont answer
[21:11] <armor-64> iceroot: me too my friend,i consider to format or instaling gnome 3 to see if it is working!by the way in windows 7 the card is working perfect!
[21:12] <llutz> surfdue: ya due to sudo... usual case is hiding scripts from users, which doesn't work if they should run it
[21:12] <_6i> btw, does anyone have any idea about my problem? -> i played around  with using jack instead of alsa for a couple of apps, and i ended up somehow making my audio-in unusable -> it's so quiet, that even with max input volume in alsa (over 100%) i get only 1 bar when i hit the mic against the desk (for more subtle stimuli there is no indication of any input..); when booting from usb, all works fine
[21:12] <iceroot> armor-64: you are not using gnome at the moment?
[21:12] <iceroot> armor-64: i am asking because lubuntu is not using pulse-audio by default
[21:13] <armor-64> iceroot: not event installed,i am using alsamixer,the default by installing ubuntu
[21:13] <iceroot> armor-64: then you should also have pulseaudio when using normal ubuntu
[21:14] <iceroot> armor-64: i am not sure if "pavucontrol" is installed by default but its a nice app to manage volume for different soundcards, maybe have a look there
[21:14] <AdhamSabry> iceroot, I can't actually find the ppa
[21:14] <AdhamSabry> http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/packages/show/374487
[21:15] <armor-64> iceroot: i give it a shot!w8 a second and i will tell you the result
[21:15] <trism> AdhamSabry: the gnome apps in oneiric are already gnome 3.2, only the gnome meta package is old (gnome-shell version is 3.2.1)
[21:15] <AdhamSabry> Isn't updates are always about new features or improvements or bug fixes? I'm using gnome 3.0 and would like to update it to 3.2, what's the bad in that?
[21:15] <AdhamSabry> trism, I already checked...................
[21:15] <trism> !info gnome-shell | AdhamSabry
[21:15] <AdhamSabry> there is no that
[21:16] <iceroot> AdhamSabry: inside a ubuntu release you will only get security updates, enver feature updates
[21:16] <iceroot> AdhamSabry: because of not changing big things during an update
[21:16] <AdhamSabry> I have installed gnome-shell http://www.gnome.org/gnome-3/ actually seperately after installing ubuntu 11.10
[21:16] <iceroot> AdhamSabry: ah gnome-shell is 3.2 then you are using the latest version
[21:16] <AdhamSabry> I'm not using 3.2
[21:16] <iceroot> AdhamSabry: just use "sudo apt-get install gnome-shell" to get gnome3.2
[21:16] <AdhamSabry> I'm using 3.0000
[21:17] <iceroot> AdhamSabry: you are using gnome3.0 with gnome-shell3.2
[21:17] <AdhamSabry> how can I know the gnome-shell version please?
[21:17] <iceroot> AdhamSabry: apt-cache policy gnome-shell
[21:17] <_6i> does anyone have any idea about my problem? -> i played around  with using jack instead of alsa for a couple of apps, and i ended up somehow making my audio-in unusable -> it's so quiet, that even with max input volume in alsa (over 100%) i get only 1 bar when i hit the mic against the desk (for more subtle stimuli there is no indication of any input..); when booting from usb, all works fine
[21:18] <iceroot> AdhamSabry: or better "apt-cache show gnome-shell"
[21:18] <armor-64> iceroot: sorry to tell this but the program you told me it's telling me that it's working perfectly the sound,i will install gnome and see if it works!!if not then format!!!
[21:18] <iceroot> _6i: sounds like the mic-boost option is missing
[21:19] <AdhamSabry> :D
[21:19] <AdhamSabry> iceroot :D
[21:19] <iceroot> armor-64: and what are you using at the moment when not gnome?
[21:19] <AdhamSabry> :D
[21:19] <AdhamSabry> I guess I was checking the gnome only not the shell :D
[21:19] <iceroot> AdhamSabry: yes me too
[21:19] <iceroot> AdhamSabry: strange gnome-thing
[21:19] <AdhamSabry> yeah
[21:19] <AdhamSabry> well, yes gnome-shell is correct, it's 3.2
[21:20] <_6i> iceroot: any idea how can i turn it back on -> no indication in sound preferences..
[21:20] <iceroot> _6i: good question, i am also always searching for that option
[21:20] <armor-64> iceroot : unity! i give up on gnome becouse gnome 3 is not the style that i like,ubuntu 10.04 style is what i liked much!!!
[21:20] <iceroot> _6i: try "alsamixer" and press "f4"
[21:20] <iceroot> armor-64: for me unity and gnome3 is the same :)
[21:20] <Guest72710> if i have "switchable" graphics how do i switch?  how do i know which one i'm using?
[21:21] <iceroot> Guest72710: nvidia ion?
[21:21] <tiox> I had made a specific-purpose account for my computer with a really long "Real name", and I want to change it so it only displays the username. It would also give me more panel space, so yeah, the incentive of doing this is high.
[21:21] <_6i> iceroot: already tried -- interesting though, that when i boot up the fresh os, from usb, it works fine
[21:21] <armor-64> w8 i will logout and see if threre is change on sound
[21:21] <iceroot> _6i: very strange
[21:21] <Barbarian> Guest72710, If it's nvidia optimus, google ironhide.
[21:21] <armor-64> iceroot :w8 i will logout and see if threre is change on sound
[21:21] <tiox> Ubuntu 11.10 BTW
[21:21] <AdhamSabry> iceroot, will gnome-shell update itself automatically if there is any update released for it, or do I have to have a specific ppa for it added?
[21:21] <Guest72710> iceroot: they are Intel Integrated Controller and ATI Radeon HD 5000 series
[21:21] <iceroot> Guest72710: ah yes optimus and not ion
[21:22] <iceroot> Guest72710: ah ok
[21:22] <_6i> iceroot: my consequence is that i must have changed some setting, but no idea what
[21:22] <iceroot> Guest72710: have a look at a toll called "vga-switcher" i was using it with nvidia-stuff maybe its also working for your setup
[21:22] <Guest72710> thanks
[21:22] <iceroot> AdhamSabry: only security-updates you will get in ubuntu11.10
[21:22] <_6i> iceroot: -> it worked before for my regular install too, but not now
[21:23] <iceroot> _6i: my alsamixer is showing me "mic boost" when i press f4
[21:23] <iceroot> _6i: so if you dont see that option, sorry i dont now where to find it then
[21:23] <NesSe> is there any pre built packages for mysql 5.5 @ amd64 for ubuntu server? cant figure this out.
[21:24] <iceroot> !info mysql-server
[21:24] <iceroot> NesSe: only as a ppa
[21:24] <AdhamSabry> iceroot, I want to add the feature in ubuntu 11.10 default gnome that is about the banshee player controls to be in the sound tray icon
[21:24] <AdhamSabry> to gnome3, is it possible?
[21:24] <iceroot> AdhamSabry: i have never seen gnome3, never used it so i dont know
[21:25] <Barbarian> Right guys, I've helped a fair few people here, time to repay the favour :P Anyone got any idea what would cause ubuntu 11.10 64bit to recieve on input the output of the laptop instead of the microphone?
[21:25] <iceroot> AdhamSabry: but normally that should be indipentend from gnome
[21:25] <raptor67682> test
[21:25] <AdhamSabry> well, thank you very much iceroot, I really appreciated, you helped me a lot, and sorry...
[21:25] <NesSe> iceroot: ok where would i be able to find those ?
[21:25] <iceroot> AdhamSabry: sorry for what?
[21:26] <iceroot> NesSe: first of all, why you need unstable software on a server
[21:26] <_6i> iceroot: where do you have that mic-boost button?
[21:26] <Barbarian> !sound
[21:26] <tiox> iceroot: Abandon hope. 12.04 will see the end of Mono, thus, the end of Banshee.
[21:26] <AdhamSabry> for keep saying that I have gnome 3.0 and not gnome 3.2, without knowing the different between gnome and gnome-shell (Didn't think of that, because in their site only gnome)
[21:26] <iceroot> _6i: in alsamixer press f4
[21:26] <iceroot> tiox: yes that will be great :)
[21:26] <tiox> Ahhh, I think so too.
[21:27] <iceroot> tiox: software has to be free so its a very good idea to remove mono
[21:27] <tiox> I really wish Banshee was coded in C as it's a damn awesome player.
[21:27] <NesSe> iceroot: well its kida of a home server that is not so important and im going to hava xbmc sync its library on the database witch runs so slow on earlyer versions of mysql
[21:27] <tiox> Maybe someone else will do the recode and offer it undr a different name.
[21:27] <iceroot> NesSe: but running fine with 5.5?
[21:27] <AdhamSabry> well, sorry again iceroot and thanks one more time :-)
[21:28] <iceroot> AdhamSabry: you are welcome
[21:28] <AdhamSabry> I'll try to get involved in gnome code and see if I can manage to do something new...
[21:28] <localg0d> i know i'm about to ask another dumb question ... but ....
[21:28] <_6i> iceroot: yeah, F4 switches to capture (i've been there), but then i have the input choices listed (mic amongst them), but i don't see mic-boost anywhere (and what do you mean by button anyway -- alsamixer has a curses interface for me..)
[21:28] <NesSe> iceroot: from what i have heard its supposed to run better
[21:29] <localg0d> if i'm using alsa is that the audio i'm using ? or can pules audio be installed along side alsa sound ? without slowing down on crashing my computer ?
[21:29] <tiox> I'm still waiting on an answer to My question prior; Changing the displaied name on the upper-right in the top panel to display the user name instead of the  full/real name

[21:29] <WalkFar> Hey mates: Im attempting to root a phone using SuperOneClick, on ubuntu obviously, while trying to make it so the computer can read the device properly, the page I'm on is telling me to type "ATTR{idVendor}=="0BB4" " , however the terminal reads that the command was not found, if you could answer in PM please do!
[21:29] <iceroot> !addppa | NesSe
[21:30] <iceroot> WalkFar: if i am correct that goes into /etc/udev/rules.d/foobar
[21:30] <iceroot> WalkFar: that was the case for my android
[21:30] <WalkFar> iceroot: I was told to put it under /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
[21:30] <iceroot> WalkFar: yes
[21:31] <iceroot> WalkFar: that what i am saying
[21:31] <_6i> iceroot: yeah, F4 switches to capture (i've been there), but then i have the input choices listed (mic amongst them), but i don't see mic-boost anywhere (and what do you mean by button anyway -- alsamixer has a curses interface for me..)
[21:31] <WalkFar> iceroot: For me the terminal is telling me that the command is not found though
[21:31] <iceroot> _6i: "button" :)
[21:31] <iceroot> WalkFar: what command?
[21:31] <ActionParsnip> WalkFar: you probably need to add that to a config file, it's not a command
[21:32] <iceroot> WalkFar: create the file /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules and put ATTR{idVendor}=="0BB4 in that file
[21:32] <SilverFox> for a windows user that is ready to do something new (because current windows install is bogging down), is wubi a poor choice?  I'm not personally familiar with wubi.
[21:32] <Barbarian> Anyone got any idea what would cause ubuntu 11.10 64bit to recieve on input the sounds the computer is making instead of the microphone?
[21:32] <fully_human> I am determined to figure this out.  When I wake my computer up from being supended/hibernated, it immediately goes back to sleep.  Anyone know why?
[21:32] <iceroot> WalkFar: gksudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
[21:32] <bugweed> hi, can anyone share how to autorun a program in a specific De only? thanx
[21:32] <fully_human> bugweed: De?
[21:32] <Barbarian> SilverFox, Not a bad choice, but a linux partition installed seperately would be better. Wubi is the easy choice though
[21:32] <iceroot> SilverFox: yes, if you want to use ubuntu use dual-boot or a vm
[21:33] <bugweed> fully_human: Desktop environment
[21:33] <sskalnik> If I'm using pbuilder, how can I get multiple terminals in the same chroot?
[21:33] <guntbert> SilverFox: better use a live CD for trying
[21:33] <SilverFox> My fear is wubi will be slow.  It is running w/in Windows, ya?
[21:33] <sskalnik> iceroot, a vm will be slow if windows is already slow
[21:33] <comando> buenas tardes
[21:33] <SilverFox> k, I'll start w/Live CD and if it looks good to him, I'll help resize part and dual boot it.
[21:33] <iceroot> sskalnik: but you dont have to "fight" with extra partitons
[21:34] <iceroot> SilverFox: sounds good
[21:34] <sskalnik> SilverFox, if you can make a live USB, it will be much faster than a CD, plus you can save stuff to it.
[21:34] <Barbarian> SilverFox, I'd recommend EaseUs partition manager to resize, nice and easy windows program
[21:34] <fully_human> bugweed: In KDE, you need to go to System Settings and then go to "Startup and Shutdown" and then "Session Management."
[21:34] <Barbarian> SilverFox, And unetbootin for the live USB
[21:34] <SilverFox> Barbarian: not Qpart?
[21:34] <Barbarian> SilverFox, Not tried it, if you're comfortable with it, then sure :P
[21:35] <fully_human> bugweed: In gnome, I think it's a section in gnome-control center.  Since Ubuntu went Unity, though, I'm not exactly sure. :/
[21:35] <Corey> !openvz
[21:35] <Barbarian> SilverFox, But unetbootin for a USB live is just amazingly good.
[21:35] <fully_human> Anyone know why Ubuntu is suspending again after I wake it up?  If no one knows, how do I look at the source code to figure out what's wrong?
[21:35] <bugweed> fully_human: i am having both gnome3 and unity. i am currently running AWN. so i dont want it to run on GNome3
[21:35] <st3n0> kubuntu installed,firefox tab-groups don't work - what to do?
[21:35] <tiox> It's Unity I'm trying to do this in. Is there any known way to change the displayed name in Unity? I'd really like to in order to reclaim a bunch of space in the top panel.
[21:36] <SilverFox> Barbarian: can you turn around and use it to install, like on a livecd?
[21:36] <pawel__> 6e5yhrgbfbbvb\
[21:36] <fully_human> bugweed: Hm...sorry, Can't help you there. :/
[21:36] <Barbarian> SilverFox, Of course
[21:36] <bugweed> bump anyone
[21:36] <tiox> Like for instance, if Joe Blow used jb as his username, I want it to display jb instead of JoeBlow
[21:36] <ActionParsnip> fully_human: wat make and model system?
[21:36] <SilverFox> k, I'll go that route.
[21:36] <SilverFox> livecd can be sluggish
[21:37] <fully_human> ActionParsnip: I have a Satellite L305D-S5934.
[21:37] <ActionParsnip> bugweed: AWN will need gnome to run, its the DE which Unity runs on too
[21:37] <fully_human> ActionParsnip: I did install tosh-utils.
[21:37] <Barbarian> SilverFox, http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
[21:37] <bugweed> ActionParsnip: is there a way to kill it when it is running on gnome3
[21:37] <ActionParsnip> bugweed: kill what?
[21:38] <ActionParsnip> fully_human: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1020119.html
[21:38] <Guest72710> iceroot: when i try "echo ON > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch" i get "bash: ... permission denied"
[21:38] <ActionParsnip> fully_human: be sure you have the latest BIOS too, may help. Looks like you are not alone
[21:38] <Guest72710> even when i precede with "sudo", why would that happen?
[21:38] <tiox> Note about AWN on Gnome 3: You need the Gnome 2 libs to make full use of it (Indicators and stuff)
[21:38] <bugweed> ActionParsnip: AWN on GNome3. i only want it to autostart on Unity
[21:39] <tiox> Otherwise, if it's AWN and Unity, just have AWN autostart. SHould run as a separate app.
[21:39] <ActionParsnip> bugweed: unity needs Gnome3 to exist. Unity is only a shell which runs on any DE you want
[21:39] <Barbarian> Anyone got any idea what would cause ubuntu 11.10 64bit to recieve on input the sounds the computer is making instead of the microphone?
[21:39] <fully_human> ActionParsnip: Yeah, and just recently my computer randomly shuts down dispite the fact that it's cool.  Thanks. :)
[21:39] <_6i> iceroot: i've writte to you in priv
[21:39] <_6i> *written
[21:40] <sskalnik> Anyone know how to spawn more terminal sessions inside of a chroot?
[21:40] <jen> hep!
[21:40] <fully_human> sskalnik: Have you tried using screen?
[21:40] <sskalnik> I'm using a pbuilder chroot and having to hop between a man page and the CLI is getting old
[21:40] <sskalnik> Nope.
[21:40] <sskalnik> I shall give that a go, then, fully_human
[21:40] <iceroot> Guest72710: you need sudo with tee to do something like that
[21:40] <fully_human> sskalnik: on Ubunut it's called byobu. :)
[21:41] <sskalnik> byobu?
[21:41] <st3n0> firefox in kubuntu installed, tab-groups don't work - what to do?
[21:41] <Guest72710> sudo with tee?? i shall google that at once
[21:41] <ActionParsnip> fully_human: if you suspend from CLI, is it ok?
[21:41] <jen> so my virtualbox gave me a message about how it cant find one of its files to start
[21:41] <fully_human> ActionParsnip: CLI?
[21:42] <ActionParsnip> fully_human: command line
[21:42] <fully_human> Oh, I don't know haven't tried that.
[21:42] <iceroot> Guest72710: echo "ON" | sudo tee /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
[21:42] <fully_human> ^ActionParsnip
[21:42] <iceroot> Guest72710: normally you are ust using sudo to act as root
[21:42] <ActionParsnip> jen: is it when you try to install or is it in an installed virtual OS?
[21:42] <iceroot> Guest72710: but echo is not working with sudo
[21:43] <ActionParsnip> fully_human: worth exploring
[21:43] <jen> I think its from the update
[21:43] <jen> ActionParsnip, I think its from the update, I just installed some updates and I forgot how to fix it
[21:43] <fully_human> ActionParsnip: Thanks.  There's a solution online about using wicd as the net manager...I had a feeling it was a net manager problem
[21:43] <ActionParsnip> jen: so the OS is installed and has started showing issues?
[21:43] <ActionParsnip> fully_human: wicd is awesome :)
[21:43] <jen> ActionParsnip,  yes maybe I shall try something
[21:44] <sskalnik> fully_human, yes this shall do nicely. Vielen Dank
[21:44] <WalkFar> iceroot: PMed you
[21:44] <jen> grr I cant get it T_T
[21:45] <SilverFox> wow... unetbootin is slick.
[21:45] <fully_human> What's the default network manager that I need to kill?
[21:46] <iceroot> fully_human: network-manager
[21:46] <iceroot> fully_human: normally in combination with nm-applet
[21:48] <ubuntu> skyub

[21:49] <_6i> SilverFox: multisystem from http://liveusb.info is also not bad -- enables you to have a multiboot setup on a usb stick and uses multiple boot managers on the stick with online switching possibility
[21:50] <raptor67682> ActionParsnip: works but I get some text from aplay in the channel
[21:50] <ActionParsnip> raptor67682: what text do you want?
[21:50] <ubsky> can someone help me with UEFI and figuring out what files to put from the ubuntu cdrom in the efi boot folder, so far I have got refit to load the bootx64.efi to the grub prompt but it does not know where to boot to

[21:51] <raptor67682> it seems to work better
[21:51] <raptor67682> test
[21:52] <_6i> SilverFox: you can also test your new setup in a virtual machine
[21:52] <raptor67682> ActionParsnip: yes, the idea is indeed this one
[21:52] <raptor67682> ActionParsnip: but I would be happier to run a script that beep only for given channels. a bit like xchat
[21:53] <Nostoc> I have a dual boot ubuntu/windows system.  The windows system was recently infected with a rootkit in the MBR.  In order to remove the rootkit, I need to restore the mbr.  Is there a way to do this without damaging by ubuntu system?
[21:53] <joansirley> some human like being overt there
[21:54] <Nostoc> I would just like to reinstall the windows partition
[21:54] <LLStarks> v
[21:55] <Nostoc> is there a channel to go to for help with ubuntu?
[21:55] <Odaym``> you're in it, Nostoc
[21:55] <joansirley> yes nostoc
[21:55] <Odaym``> are you stupid or something?
[21:55] <joansirley> it seams that yes
[21:55] <_6i> Nostoc: after reinstalling windows, you have to reinstall ubuntus boot manager (e.g. from a live cd or usb), because windows' boot manager does not recognise non-windows systems
[21:56] <joansirley> yes
[21:56] <Nostoc> so I will need to do a fresh install of both the ubuntu and windows systems?
[21:56] <joansirley> 6i
[21:56] <Nostoc> also, do you know how to change the default boot order in GRUB?
[21:56] <joansirley> you can use several methods to rebuild grub
[21:56] <Odaym``> don't install windows at all :)
[21:56] <lyrae> When i try to open an image(png, jpg,etc) imageviewer tries to open it, and doesnt. basically nothing happens
[21:56] <lyrae> how can i fix it?
[21:56] <joansirley> like the ones suggested at guia-ubuntu.org
[21:56] <Nostoc> I need windows for my engineering applications (esp solidworks)
[21:56] <joansirley> in spanish
[21:56] <joansirley> nostoc
[21:57] <joansirley> why don't you install a virtual machine?
[21:57] <Odaym``> definitely, it's very fast there too
[21:57] <ubsky> looking for help with setting up an EFI partition and ubuntu
[21:57] <Odaym``> and you can edit the grub boot order MENU from grub.conf
[21:57] <_6i> Nostoc: ubuntu uses grub boot manager by default -- you have to reinstall only that
[21:57] <joansirley> yes
[21:57] <Odaym``> but do not tamper with it if you have no idea what you're doing
[21:57] <Nostoc> thankis Odaym
[21:58] <Nostoc> joansirley: I believe that using a virtual machine would be slower and less stable than simply using windows
[21:58] <joansirley> yes
[21:58] <lyrae> better yet. Where do i set default applications for file types./
[21:58] <joansirley> the only problem is
[21:58] <jutnux> Nostoc, I run XP fine in a VM
[21:59] <joansirley> install linux in a primary partition activating it
[21:59] <joansirley> after that boot with ubuntu life
[21:59] <joansirley> and rebuild grub
[21:59] <Nostoc> ubuntu is currently on its own primary partition
[21:59] <joansirley> there ara several methods
[22:00] <joansirley> suggested in guia-ubuntu.org
[22:00] <joansirley> in sapnish
[22:00] <joansirley> spanish
[22:00] <Nostoc> I can't speak spanish, no me gusta
[22:00] <joansirley> I have no problem in give you my email
[22:01] <joansirley> if you want i can give you the needed documents
[22:01] <Barbarian> Anyone got any idea what would cause ubuntu 11.10 64bit to recieve on input the sounds the computer is making instead of the microphone?
[22:01] <Nostoc> joansirley: alright, my email is davtuner@gmail.com
[22:01] <Nostoc> joansirley: I appreciate it

[22:02] <GatorAlli> Hello, I am running Ubuntu 11.04 x64 on a Mac Pro. Almost everything is working fine, except for the wireless connectivity. The Internet connection always stops for a couple minutes then goes for a couple minutes in a random cycle. I tried several USB wireless adapters, but the problem still persisted. How do I fix this problem,
[22:02] <GatorAlli> ?
[22:03] <Nostoc> ok, thanks alot!
[22:03] <joansirley> tomorrow I send you my email
[22:03] <_6i> Nostoc: boot order: do you want to reorder your entries, or is it enough to set the default selection to not the first?

[22:05] <joansirley> see all of you

[22:09] <torckleduck> GatorAlli: what kind of Mac Pro?
[22:10] <GatorAlli> torckleduck: MacPro 1,1
[22:10] <_6i> Nostoc: I also suggest you read this before rearranging your boot list: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Configuring_GRUB_2 and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Boot_Display_Behavior  , and afterwards if you still want to do it, then read this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Custom_Menu_Entries

[22:12] <soreau> molgrum: Looks like you installed the proprietary driver and it isn't working. What is the output of 'lspci|grep VGA'?
[22:13] <molgrum> soreau, 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Juniper [Radeon HD 5700 Series]
[22:13] <soreau> molgrum: Try removing fglrx and use the default open radeon driver

[22:15] <urlin2u> bytesaber_work, you can get it from a ppa.
[22:15] <bytesaber_work> urlin2u, isn't this just as easy?
[22:15] <bytesaber_work> there isn't evne a readme
[22:15] <urlin2u> bytesaber_work, I don't know you tell me lol. :D
[22:15] <bekks> bytesaber_work: No. The way you are going to the moment is much more complicated.
[22:16] <bekks> *at the moment...
[22:16] <bytesaber_work> >: \
[22:16] <bytesaber_work> what is this for then?
[22:17] <bekks> bytesaber_work: It is for the one who want to install it manually while knowing what/how to do it.
[22:17] <urlin2u> bytesaber_work, for the ppa     sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable
[22:17] <urlin2u>     sudo apt-get update
[22:17] <urlin2u>     sudo apt-get install firefox language-pack-en language-pack-en-base
[22:17] <Barbarian> lol urlin2u, beat me to it by about 5 seconds
[22:19] <bytesaber_work> i can add the ppa *shrug*.   was just gonna leave "the system" alone and run ff8 in it's own dir and leave ff3 alone.
[22:20] <oupateddie> why would 10.10 already have the Firefox 8 available for Ubuntu and 11.04 not?
[22:20] <MonkeyDust> there's this link http://www.muktware.com/articles/2949
[22:25] <molgrum> soreau, that worked wonderfully
[22:28] <galerien> Hi, just wondering if the "dd" command is supposed to work on umounted devices
[22:28] <galerien> ?
[22:29] <deej1976> galerien: yes: dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb
[22:29] <genii-around> galerien: It can work on both. But if your device is a disk for instance in which the data is being altered as you are trying to dd off it, then it can result in strange data
[22:29] <deej1976> !info dd
[22:30] <galerien> it results in : "dd: opening `/dev/sdb': No medium found
[22:30] <galerien> "
[22:31] <deej1976> galerien: cat /proc/partitions, is sdb there?
[22:32] <galerien> deej1976, no, but "ls sd*" gives me sda1-7 and sdb
[22:33] <deej1976> galerien: What does Disk Utility report?
[22:34] <jrwr|offline> I want to use a compression proxy (Ziproxy) and I want it to also compress SSL'd Content as well, I use it over a ssh tunnel so SSL being in the clear is not a issue for me
[22:34] <galerien> deej1976, one 500Gb hard disk and under peripheral devices one Multiple card reader
[22:35] <deej1976> !crosspost | jrwr|offline:
[22:35] <galerien> deej1976, I just figured it out : sdb => sdb1
[22:36] <galerien> I'm so rusty and so ashamed right now...
[22:36] <jrwr|offline> deej1976, :P -server has been dead for the last hour :)
[22:36] <galerien> deej1976, thanks for your help and good night/day depending ;)
[22:37] <deej1976> jrwr|offline: My bad, sorry
[22:37] <jrwr|offline> deej1976, its ok :)
[22:37] <deej1976> galerien: No problem
[22:38] <CharminTheMoose> Hey all, I want to be able to call the reboot/shutdown programs as a normal user on a single user system via bash. How can I go about doing this?
[22:39] <ppcblaster> Trying to get my old hauppauge pvr 350 going in Unubtu 11.10 I found http://www.upubuntu.com/2011/10/tv-viewer-watch-and-record-tv-stations.html
[22:40] <jrwr|offline> CharminTheMoose, I think its calle setuid
[22:40] <ppcblaster> I then discovered the Tcl/Tk is no good and need to get a newer version
[22:40] <ppcblaster> where do I look?
[22:41] <jrwr|offline> CharminTheMoose, where you can set a permission on the filesystem to have that program always run as a UID, EG: Root
[22:41] <CharminTheMoose> Ahh yes, I forgot about setuid!
[22:42]  * CharminTheMoose gets RTFMing
[22:43] <Bert_2> Hi, how can I find out who who worked on the updated version of a certain ubuntu package ?

[22:46] <soreau> molgrum: Cool, glad it worked ;)
[22:48] <gateway_> there's no grub on my ubuntu 11.10 installation, how can I get it?
[22:49] <bekks> gateway_: There is grub2 instead.
[22:49] <gateway_> bekks: how do I know that?
[22:50] <bekks> Because Ubuntu 11.10 includes grub2.
[22:50] <gateway_> excuse me, i'm pretty new on it. I just installed ubuntu with default config
[22:51] <gateway_> bekks: if ubuntu 11.10 includes it by default, then I have grub2
[22:51] <bekks> gateway_: Yes :)
[22:52] <gateway_> bekks: i sucessfully installed ubuntu with nomodeset configuration
[22:52] <gateway_> but when i restart i cant see anything but a blackscreen
[22:53] <lucas-arg> I need to install a kw-ub405-a analog tv decoder in ubuntu, but i dont knwo where to start... i cant find drivers for it, the manufacturer doesnt have any drivers either, any ideas where to get help??
[22:53] <gateway_> i tried this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 for installation
[22:54] <gateway_> now installation is done but no grub shows on the screen, then i cant continue with the steps shown in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132
[22:55] <steelbox> is there anyone expert in OpenMP please?
[22:55] <deej1976> !ask | steelbox:
[22:55] <gateway_> i tried the shift key but it doesnt show the grub menu
[22:56] <genii-around> gateway_: Try the ESC key then
[22:58] <gateway_> genni-around: esc key same result as shift key: blackscreen, no grub :(
[22:58] <lucas-arg> please i need help with an usb stick tv decoder.. kw-ub405-a cant find drivers for ubuntu
[22:59] <steelbox> I got the following openmp sample code http://paste.ubuntu.com/740680/ and I got no speedup when output->st=1. I suppose that gcc or openmp remove the for loop since the outer loop only have a single iteration.
[23:00] <deej1976> steelbox: have you tried asking this in #openmp ?
[23:01] <steelbox> deej1976: it's empty :)
[23:02] <dirtycookie> hello people, i backed up a drive via dd to a file and wanted to mount it with this command: mount /4gb_backup /mount -o loop and i get this error message "mount: /dev/loop0: can't read superblock". what am i doing wrong?
[23:02] <steelbox> So is there a simple way to ask to gcc/openmp to correctly parallelize this code even when the outer loop only have a single iteration?
[23:04] <Mydalon_> Hi, I try to mount a nfs share in fstab, but at boottime the system hangs very long (and is not pingable during that time) obviously trying to mount the share w/o networking up. Then it says mounting fails and if I skip the mounting, network gets up very soon after. This does not only affect nfs, but also aiccu.
[23:04] <Mydalon_> Has anyone a pointer of what I may have done wrong?
[23:05] <shabble> what's the (best|easiest) way to get both a binary and corresponding kernel sources? (Attempting to build a custom patched module without rebuilding an entire kernel/all modules)
[23:06] <shabble> linux-source-3.0.0 is actually 3.0.4 if I'm reading this (src/Makefile) right
[23:07] <Mydalon_> BTW: I am on 11.10
[23:07] <Mydalon_> 64bit
[23:07] <fbh> Hi.  Can anyone tell me exactly what the "dns-clean" startup item does?   (server 10.04 LTS)
[23:07] <shabble> Mydalon_: there's a 'noauto' option you can stick in fstab somewhere, iirc.
[23:08] <fbh> As far as I can read it's only needed if I have a modem connection. I'm just wondering why this is enabled by default on a new installation of a server OS
[23:09] <Mydalon_> shabble, I will have a look in that option, one moment please
[23:09] <haseebh2O> YAY
[23:12] <Mydalon_> thx, I'll try that

[23:30] <GUNDAM> thank you.
[23:31] <tonk> wen i boot ubuntu i get some bios error befor ubuntu is starting to boot buth the message is to fast. wer to find boot loog?
[23:33] <bekks> tonk: The boot log (if existing) does not contain BIOS messages.
[23:34] <Lehthanis> What's the kernel line look like in the grub boot option editor?
[23:35] <Lehthanis> I'm on a cell phone because I have no internet here. PC is offline.
[23:35] <deej1976> tonk: If you can get in the bios, change boot order and remove hard disk, this will possible stop your laptop booting for you to read the error message
[23:35] <surfdue> anyone fimiliar with bash? ((: 1 -le 9: syntax error in expression (error token is "9")
[23:35] <bekks> Pressing pause should do the same.
[23:35] <Lehthanis> Is the kernel line the one that starts with linux?
[23:35] <surfdue> line 86: if (($REPLY -le $total)) && (($REPLY -ge 1)); then
[23:36] <tonk> deej1976: i got that 2 lines only wen bootin ubuntu
[23:36] <tonk> lines of error*
[23:39] <Lehthanis> What line do I add text to in grub to boot to command line?
[23:40] <Lehthanis> Kernel doesn't appear in the text
[23:40] <deej1976> Lehthanis: Does the rescue mode work?
[23:40]  * deej1976 going to bed now
[23:41] <Lehthanis> There's a line : linux /boot/vmlinuz....
[23:41] <Lehthanis> Is that it?
[23:41] <trism> Lehthanis: yes
[23:42] <Lehthanis> Ok, trying recovery first.
[23:43] <Lehthanis> Ok... Got to prompt. Where would i find xorg. Conf?
[23:44] <RedAmry> Is there a way to deactivate the 'apps available for download' adware in Unity?
[23:45] <Lehthanis> Oooh, found it. Is there a command line text editor?
[23:46] <dragomir> can someone please help me? ubuntu 10.04 I would like docky to be pushed up above the bottom panel and not be behind it, or over it.
[23:48] <muesli> how can i start a terminal?
[23:48] <scottj> when applying a patch, the failing hunk is safed in a .rej file, but is there an easy way to see why it failed?
[23:49] <girant> muesli: Ctrl + alt + t ?
[23:49] <muesli> lol, how very obvious :) girant: thanks
[23:49] <scratchingmyhead> Is there a program I can use to open a .pps file?  libre cant open it
[23:50] <girant> muesli: Np
[23:50] <muesli> one more question: i added a ppa in the software center, how can i get it to update the sources?
[23:50] <muesli> (e.g. apt-get update without going via the terminal)
[23:51] <xangua> dragomir: normally people discards panels when they use a dock, you can also pur dock on the sides
[23:51] <xangua> muesli: with the update manager
[23:51] <Bartzy> Hi
[23:51] <dragomir> thanks xangua
[23:51] <blake> Hi, I'm having a problem being unable to change my brightness on a NVIDIA graphics card with 11.10 and the NVIDIA drivers, is there any solution to this?
[23:52] <muesli> xangua: is that "updates available" in the upper-right menu?
[23:52] <muesli> xangua: ah yeah, it's called update manager
[23:52] <muesli> would probably be clever(er) to update sources when adding a ppa
[23:52] <Bartzy> I'm using NetworkManager to connect to my VPN. my VPN is pushing a DNS server (10.0.0.1) for the example. my local DNS from my DHCP server is 192.168.1.1  for example. For some reason, NetworkManager puts the VPN DNS server (10.0.0.1) before the local DNS server (192.168.1.1) in /etc/resolv.conf, which causes problems. Any idea ?
[23:54] <marsfligth> How to force 'passwd' to use a short password?
[23:55] <scratchingmyhead> Is there a program I can use to open a .pps file?  libre cant open it
[23:58] <girant> scratchingmyhead: Open Office is an Office Suite and it has a program that is the alternative of Power Point. You don't use the word processor for this. I believe if you double click the file it will open it up for you. The Linux I am on right now doesn't have the software installed yet.
