[00:03] 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] antnash, Please check up packages.debian.org -Ta? [00:03] Ta==thanks [00:03] lapion, Thanks. [00:03] ta = thanks all or thanks again.. [00:04] antnash, ok. good you got it. [00:04] yeah, on the ubuntu site [00:05] 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] i mean 11.10 [00:06] annoyingspore, try to startup with the option nosplash [00:06] ok [00:07] annoyingspore, if that doesn't help try using nomodeset..

[00:08] ActionParsnip: yes [00:09] 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] Could anyone attempt to help me answer a question? [00:10] Taser, I don't even know the question [00:11] the nosplash worked! there is no onboard video, it is older Pentium III board [00:11] smw: What command can be used to find the version number of ftp? [00:11] Taser: apt-cache policy ftp [00:12] ActionParsnip: Where is the version in their? [00:12] Taser: how do you mean? [00:12] !info ftp [00:12] ftp (source: netkit-ftp): classical file transfer client. In component main, is standard. Version 0.17-25 (oneiric), package size 52 kB, installed size 172 kB [00:13] 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] ftp --version? [00:14] meh [00:14] of course i tried that [00:14] the response is just unkown option [00:14] ftp version of what? ftp client? which client? your homework is badly written [00:15] Taser: apt-cache policy ftp | head -n 2 | tail -n 1 [00:15] Im well aware its poorly written. [00:15] 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] Installed: 0.17-19build1 does that sound right? [00:16] Taser: yes that is the installed version number [00:16] Taser: that's the version of the package named 'ftp', yes. [00:16] Taser, 0.17 is the answer then [00:16] ActionParsnip, how would I pass the results of 'dpkg --get-selections | grep firefox' to 'apt-get purge' ? [00:17] hello all [00:17] 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] Taser: I'm wondering if it meant a client server response for the ftp...in which case you'd just connect... [00:17] or protocol version lol [00:17] antnash: I believe its: | apt-get purge - [00:17] guys sorry i'm in the wrong channel but I looking for some ideas, anyone here use ddwrt? [00:18] that simple?! Excellent! [00:18] antnash: could ask in #bash [00:18] antnash, try dpkg --get-selections | grep firefox | xargs apt-get purge [00:18] Nambi_: yes [00:19] cheers guys. I'll give it a shot now [00:19] hi, is there an IRC for avant window manager or something [00:19] 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] i uppgrade my 10.04 to 10.10.. now i get kernel panic on boot [00:20] vsFtpd 2.2.2 would be the servers ftp version correct? [00:21] how do i install hddtemp,ACPI and lm-sensors on ubuntu [00:23] !info hddtemp [00:23] hddtemp (source: hddtemp): hard drive temperature monitoring utility. In component universe, is extra.

[00:24] sudo apt-get install lm-sensors [00:25] Squarism, you can run 64bit if you want (and have the CPU that supports it), but many people find 32bit easier [00:25] Squarism, use 32 bit on 32 bit machines and 64 bit on 64 bity machines [00:25] Squarism, with 12.04 64 bit will be recommended.

Not good for the rest of us. [00:32] Or maybe something that can pick up feeds in my Google Reader or notify me when I get a new item [00:32] sachetto: I thought that was for e-mail! [00:33] sachetto: Does it have a standalone program for feeds? I don't want an e-mail client. [00:33] sln45, what you mean by "native" here? [00:33] jbrks: Runs on Ubuntu, [00:33] sln45, did you try searching rss with your package manageR? [00:34] sln45, thunderbird can manage feeds [00:34] sln45, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_feed_aggregators [00:34] sachetto: I know that, but is it bundled with the e-mail? [00:34] Oh [00:34] Thanks for that link [00:34] anyone here using AWN? anyone got problem cannot edit the notification area? anyone got a fix for that???

[00:36] 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] 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] how can i see the name of the CD's in linux...like the name and manufacter [00:37] zz [00:37] sln45, there's some listed on one of the top links by using those google terms [00:38] Hello!

[00:51] guest-nPfpWY, hahahha.. you forgot your password? [00:51] plfffflpffpp!! lol [00:52] guest-nPfpWY: boot to root recovery mode and you can change any user password there with: passwd name [00:52] 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] 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] guest-nPfpWY, are you using it now with the root account, how are you connected to this irc? [00:53] 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] i had to use a guest account [00:53] 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" [00:53] savannah: that's what it's designed for.. eliminating the clutter. [00:54] im connected with chatzilla [00:54] 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] This is what rkhunter found: http://pastebin.com/d9LrGFmU. Does that mean my computer is infected? [00:54] Scunizi: But it can only handle icons? Anyway, I won't ask you things I can look up. Thanks so much! [00:55] 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] 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] /clear [00:55] /clear [00:55] just a part that I m not understanding [00:56] in the Installing Proprietary Drivers a.k.a. Catalyst/fglrx section [00:56] tonydeneline, that's not ubuntu stock.. but it is a ubuntu community drive site.. it mentions PPA [00:57] yagoo: no im using mine. [00:57] 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] tonydeneline, try using "ubuntu wiki > .. see if there's better results with ubuntu wiki with google.. [00:57] * yagoo tends to use "ubuntu wiki" with google [00:58] digdeep: does the system have a make and model? [00:58] 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] tonydeneline, you using ubuntu 10 ? [00:58] that means...I cant use the catalyst? [00:58] ubuntu 11.10 [00:59] tonydeneline, so that site says 10.. so try looking up something with ubuntu wiki.. there's definitely some update [00:59] guest-nPfpWY, i think we told you how to solve it.. [00:59] guest-nPfpWY, you need root access.. boot up with a rescue cd, and use chroot [00:59] Scunizi: Wait, most of these icons are attached. Like, say, the wifi. Or jupiter. [01:00] 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] guest-nPfpWY, that way you dont need to use a cd.. [01:00] 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] guest-nPfpWY, then it's simply "passwd " for that user.. [01:01] using dell xps 1645 [01:02] try using window 7 on it and the fan seems all right [01:02] Fan speed on wat? ;/ [01:03] @nes, the fan runs normally on windows 7, but on ubuntu 11.10, it runs crazy [01:03] Cpu fan or gpu [01:04] Is there any way to check md5sums on Windows without downloading anything?

[01:34] an old version is in the rpo so i built it myself [01:34] repo* w30 ^^ [01:35] 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] w30: he provides repos for it it looks like actually [01:36] what do I search for in the rpo* [01:36] localg0d: if you are on 11.10 possibly, otherwise you will have dependancy issues [01:36] What is GRUB? [01:37] guest-MbOtNu: the software that the computer runs that then runs ubuntu/other oses [01:37] !grub | guest-MbOtNu [01:37] guest-MbOtNu: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [01:37] riffautae: is it possible to upgrade packages but not the entire version of ubuntu rif ? [01:37] localg0d: only if the package dependancies are satisfied by what you already have, with video drivers that is unlikely [01:38] localg0d: if it is nvidia or amd you can try compiling them yourself if you cant find a package [01:39] well i need to find the video driver on the disc .. is there a file branch i need to look in ? [01:39] from there i can easily download and track down the dependencies [01:39] localg0d: there will be a standard repo layout some where on the disk but i am not familiar with the disc layout [01:39] ahh yeah .. riffautae i wasn't thinking repo haha [01:39] 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] guest-MbOtNu, did you install Ubuntu from inside Windows, or did you boot an Ubuntu CD? [01:41] inside windows [01:41] guest-MbOtNu, then ubuntu is actually "inside" windows then. [01:42] .join #irssi === jason is now known as Guest66271 [01:43] ahheaheh [01:45] riffautae, ahh, aewm:i386 I found it. [01:45] test [01:48] how could an install fail ui stuff with xforcevesa [01:48] does anyone know how to change what happens when you press F1 in gnome 3.0 (classic mode) in ubuntu 11.10? [01:48] 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] 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] what is the command from console to reconfigure x [01:49] what do you want to reconfigure? [01:50] SiDi: upgrade from 11.10 to whatever¿¿ 12.04 devepment¿¿ [01:50] development* [01:50] 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] 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] SiDi: Ctrl-Alt-F6 Login and turn off service gdm and then see if you can reconfigure Xorg [01:51] 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] usr13, 11.10 doesn't use gdm - lightdm maybe? [01:52] dante123: it looks like a driver problem [01:52] 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] dante123: what is your graphics card? [01:52] zykotick9: then its lightdm that doesnt work :D [01:52] 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] 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] v [01:53] icarious, not really - it's mainly the support duration that is different [01:53] zykotick9: ahoy mate [01:53] dpkg -reconfigure or something like that [01:53] ??? === brightsp1rk is now known as brightspark [01:53] i want to force ubuntu to reconfigure everything [01:53] SiDi: sudo Xorg -configure [01:53] Does anyone know if all ubuntu applications run on demian? [01:54] dante123, do you even have an xorg.conf file? you shouldn't (unless you're using proprietary drivers) [01:54] usr13: cant reach shell from normal boot, cant get rw partitions from recovery... but im gonna try in recovery anyway sec [01:54] 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] okay ran that and I get an error....says something about no adm controllers found [01:54] SiDi: Yes, just try it in recovery mode. [01:54] how can i get rid of it even looking for them [01:54] icarious, not with ubuntu no. [01:54] icarious: its called chicken something,, its a derivative with only FOSS [01:54] dante123: reconfiguring want do you any good [01:54] icarious: you are looking for the gnu distros that the free software foundation recomends¿ [01:54] *wont [01:54] okay so how to remove amd driver [01:55] icarious, ubuntu is not exactly free software friendly. see debian. [01:55] xangua: i am already on trisquel.. was wondering if ubuntu freed it kernel [01:55] says failed to load module vmwgfx [01:55] dante123: did you install the driver that comes with ubuntu or did you download it from the nvidia site? [01:56] havent done anything because i cant get to desktop [01:56] icarious: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS [01:56] icarious: there is a 100% free software based ubuntu distro, gnewsence [01:56] usr13: thanks mate [01:56] dante123: so it's a fresh install? [01:56] should have uninstalled amd one obviously...but didnt...so is there a work around [01:56] dante123, are you using vmware? [01:56] xangua: i am on trisquel. it has regular release. gnewsense is stalled since sometime [01:56] NOT an option. I need to get stuff off there [01:56] ubuntu based again [01:56] xangua, trisquel is a better option then gnewsense (in my opinion) [01:57] dante123: what I mean have you ever been able to get into the desktop? [01:57] and it is an upgrade of 10.04 to 10.10 [01:57] yes, back in 10.04 [01:57] ok. [01:57] but only if hd was put back into first machine that did have amd card [01:58] i can get to desktop now...but mouse is frozen [01:58] cant do anything [01:58] dante123: is a VMware driver. [01:58] zykotick9: icarious ok, didn't know about it ;) [01:58] xangua: ;) [01:58] i had virtualbox on there...not vmware [01:59] 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] dante123: I am looking for the way to uninstall the driver [01:59] thanks ziggyfish [01:59] dante123: do you know much about the command line? [02:00] enough to make me dangerous [02:00] dante123: lol [02:00] but go ahead [02:00] Hi all, can anyone help me out with a touchpad issue? [02:01] goto the directory /etc/X11 (cd /etc/X11 [02:01] ziggyfish what you want me to try [02:01] I suspect amd driver stuff is getting in the way [02:01] type nano xorg.conf [02:01] ok getting there [02:02] 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] hang on, exit out of nano, and rename that file to xorg.conf.old [02:02] and reboot [02:02] actually deleted xorg.conf earlier or thought i did [02:03] just remembered that xorg.conf will regenerate again when doesn't exists [02:03] usr13: actually there IS a change. now when i startx, my mouse doesnt work. [02:03] 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] 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] ziggyfish, no it won't (xorg.conf doesn't regenerate automatically, it's not even required usually) [02:04] there is no xorg.conf in /etc/X11/ [02:04] just backups etc. [02:04] !appdb | JoeyA [02:04] JoeyA: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [02:04] okay i have command line ziggyfish [02:04] Wow! Ubuntu has every window manager there is except for OSX-Pussycat and Vicesta. [02:05] 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] ziggyfish ???? now what? [02:06] dante123: hang on [02:07] checking out other ones there backups etc....have ati all through them [02:07] hoping there is an earlier one [02:08] 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] i have trued a modprobe -r appletouch but it dosnt remove the moduel.. [02:08] dante123: remove vmware-tools [02:09] how [02:09] what is command to remove that [02:10] ziggyfish how? === Guest66271 is now known as jasef [02:13] ziggyfish made it to desktop, took xorg.conf.failsafe and renamed it xorg.conf and then rebooted [02:13] ok fine [02:13] reinstalling [02:13] mouse is not frozen....yet [02:13] * SiDi feels like he'll be running gentoo by the end of the night [02:13] spoke too soon....mouse just froze...maybe should try generic one instead of fancy ms one [02:14] Anyone have experience with system76 and their hardware? Is this the right place to ask? [02:17] I also have my question here: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+question/178919 if anyone wants to have a go [02:18] omegalimit, I am using a lemur from system 76 [02:18] itaylor57: thoughts? [02:18] hey guys, in gnome shell, tool bar is all messed up [02:19] fonts are wacked out [02:19] I like it alot [02:19] itaylor57: how was the process of getting it, in general? any issues upon use? [02:19] I like it alot [02:19] whats the issue... perhaps? [02:20] omegalimit, support is excellent and it works w/o hardware issues [02:20] itaylor57: Excellent. I'm thinking of picking up the Gazelle, or maybe one of the desktops [02:21] omegalimit, good choice you can also checkout ubuntu formums they have their own part [02:21] itaylor57: I didn't know that, thanks :) [02:21] Here is a screen cap : http://i42.tinypic.com/eamag4.png [02:24] omegalimit, http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=341 [02:25] Anyone know what I need to do to fix my GNOME SHELL? [02:26] hi! How can I print Extended ASCII Codes using a standard 101-keyboard? [02:27] anyone installed picasa and got the picasa protocol working with firefox? [02:27] What is the addon called that makes GIMP look more like Photoshop? [02:29] itaylor57: thanks :) [02:29] omegalimit, np [02:30] @ psychx - is it gimpshop_2.2.11-1_i386.deb? [02:30] 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] May I ask a question about the gnome panel? [02:30] sln45, Go ahead and ask :) [02:30] Brighty: That sounds like it, thank you! [02:31] Brighty: To get that I would just apt-get install gimpshop_2.2.11-1_i386.deb [02:31] @ psychx - http://www.gimpshop.com/download.shtml [02:31] @ psychx - there is a link to download the .deb file === tum is now known as Guest34803 [02:31] Brighty: But from Terminal, that would be the correct format, right? [02:31] 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] phunyguy: Are you on wifi? [02:32] 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] GraemeLion, nope. Wired. [02:32] Hmm. okay. [02:32] my wifi workstations work 10x better [02:32] 100x* [02:32] @ psychx - "if" its available from the terminal it might be 'sudo apt-get install gimpshop*" [02:33] @ psychx - "if" try 'sudo apt-get install gimpshop_2.2.11-1" first [02:34] Brighty: Ok, thank you. I just like to do things differently sometimes to learn a little more. [02:34] I can't even ping websites in the terminal [02:34] google for example says "unknown host" [02:34] @ psychx - if that dosnt work, download the .deb file from the website i gave you [02:34] hi all [02:35] hai trilhadera [02:35] where can i get some help about driver installation? [02:35] Brighty: Gotcha [02:35] I guess I should ask about it on the forums. [02:35] phunyguy: I asked because MINE disconnects every few minutes because Networkmanager sucks :) [02:35] sln45, think you can choose a different menu type with just an icon in the add applets [02:36] yeah it seems to stay connected. And everything else works. It seems to be purely DNS related. [02:36] 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] phunyguy: Possibly change DNS's ? [02:36] Maybe to opendns or something similar? [02:37] robin0800: If I could change the panel's behavior when it was out of room, that would be better. [02:37] have. [02:37] same thing. [02:37] can anyone help me with a touch pad issue???? origonal poast was 20 minutes ago if someone could look [02:37] lol [02:38] phunyguy_work: Or Google's which is I believe: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 to name a few. [02:38] I have tried several. 4.2.2.2 included. [02:38] it's not a downstream issue. [02:38] phunyguy, have you reboted your router [02:38] mxed. yes. [02:38] Yeah, I'm out of guesses .. [02:38] as well as replaced it. [02:38] ok i see [02:38] (Kinda funny, I do L4 developer support for a living :) ) [02:38] as well as everything else hardware related. [02:39] my usb wireless card (chipset RT2870) is wrong detected (as a chipset AR9001/9002) what can i do? [02:39] GraemeLion, I hear ya. Desktop Engineer here. [02:39] does it have same problem with wired conection [02:39] mxed it is pure wired. [02:39] oh [02:39] sln45, well I like unity on my laptop with the launcher reduced in size and set to auto hide [02:39] i se === reo_ is now known as Guest35724 [02:40] no wired connection is fine [02:40] 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] sln45, unity 2d perhaps [02:41] phunyguy, to exclude that system cause your problem, try to use a livecd and se if you got same problems [02:41] robin0800: I've thought about trying it, but I like gnome panels too much. [02:41] mxed. I did that. and reinstalled several times. It works great until I run updates on a fresh install. [02:42] 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] phunyguy, ahaa. i have not yet made any updates on my ubuntu. it works nice so why should i make updates [02:43] 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] phunyguy, yep, but ubuntu is prety unstable these days so i wait a couple of months [02:44] mxed, do install security updates... [02:44] I even tried the newer kernel version 3.0.0.14-generic [02:44] no go. [02:45] I am absolutely in love myself with the gnome shell and oneric [02:45] But this wireless issue is annoying :P [02:45] you're tellin me. [02:45] Artemis3, maybe later, i am not that worried to be haced on this eeepc [02:45] my other PCs run circles around this one with browsing [02:46] has to be hardware/kernel related. [02:46] phunyguy: Oh, on wired, my system flies. [02:46] maybe I should try to downgrade the kernel [02:46] is that even possible> [02:46] > [02:46] On wireless, there's a bug in 80211 that disconnects on occasion [02:46] ?* [02:46] phunyguy: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:47] wheeee, thank you FloodBot1 [02:47] anyway, one of my dist upgrades caused me so much trouble so i reinstaled ubuntu again [02:47] mxed: perform a safe upgrade always [02:47] what do i do if unity crashes and I don't get my desktop back? [02:47] normaly i do [02:47] mxed, don't do dist-upgrades with ubuntu, stick to update-manager or do-release-upgrade [02:48] johnjohn101, switch to another console and restart unity manually [02:48] how do i do that? [02:48] Artemis3, dist-upgrade is the equivalent of what update-manager does [02:48] johnjohn101, ctrl-alt-f1 [02:49] to get back is ctrl-alt-f7 [02:49] zykotick9, not exactly... [02:49] ok, now how do I start unity [02:49] i never lost firefox [02:49] johnjohn101, which display manager do you use? Or which ubuntu? [02:49] zykotick9, at least not during an actual dist upgrade (not simply minor updating system libs [02:50] rumpel: 11.10 and unity [02:50] icarious what does aptitude/safe upgrade do that apt-get/upgrade/dist-upgrade does not? [02:50] Artemis3, update-manager can install new files, same as dist-upgrade [02:50] Firefishe, not break your system === Guest35724 is now known as reokie [02:50] johnjohn101, then try "sudo service lightdm restart" (maybe try with typing "light" and then pressing key) [02:50] aptitude was removed to avoid system breakage... [02:51] rumpel thanks [02:51] i rebooted as I didn't have pidgin up so I'll make a not for this next time [02:51] thogut aptitude was remobed because they needed the space to fit one cd ? [02:52] zoktick9: yes, but how? Artemis3 when did that happen? [02:52] so something keeps killing a java process on my Ubuntu box, how can I figure out why it is being killed? [02:52] Artemis3, you've obviously never ran an ubuntu system during development [02:52] 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] Firefishe, i think it was in 11.04 can't remember exactly [02:53] !tab > Firefishe [02:53] Firefishe, please see my private message [02:53] zykotick9, ppl here should not be running ubuntu during development... maybe #ubuntu+1 [02:53] Firefishe, aptitude has a lot more complex resolution handling then apt-get [02:53] elz89: go to software center, edit, sources [02:54] remove it from there [02:54] Artemis3, i was commenting on your "aptitude was remove to prevent breakages" comment. Aptitude can work, when apt-get fails miserably. [02:55] xangua: would that not just been the same as removing the 'deb *' line in '/etc/apt/sources.list' ? === Logan__ is now known as Guest84675 [02:56] how do I mount ubuntu from a live disk [02:56] sanity visualVM may show why your process terminates.

[03:32] escott, Is 64bit faster than 32bit? [03:32] naked89tt, for something yes [03:33] naked89tt, it depends on the application. in some cases it can be slower [03:33] naked89tt, the biggest difference is that you can address more memory (>3.2GB) [03:33] naked89tt, it's 2011. It's time to go 64 bit even though Ballmer isn't in any hurry. Linux is ready. [03:34] 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] zykotick9, oh,I have only 2G RAM,can I run 64bit system [03:34] naked89tt, yes [03:35] 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] naked89tt, if your hardware is 64bit, use 64bit. [03:35] naked89tt, but you don't need 64-bit 'til you get more than 3gb ram [03:35] naked89tt, you can (i do on my netbook) but i'd recommend 32bit you you're not planning on upgrading you RAM [03:35] 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] naked89tt, s/you/if/ [03:37] 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] theborger, you might need to use rc.update [03:37] I don't want to upgrade RAM to >2G,so isn't 64bit good for me? [03:37] naked89tt, because of the increase in address space programs take up more space then there 32bit counterparts [03:37] when i type mail -- i see my mail, but what is the name of the 'mailbox'? [03:37] theborger, rather update-rc.d [03:37] im running ubuntu in windows vista is there a way i can transfer files from vista to ubuntu? [03:38] garden92, yes hold on. [03:38] garden92, install the guest extensions [03:38] Interesting question: Anyone use VLC to watch TV? (Assuming you have proper TV Tuner or whatever?) [03:38] garden92: remotely [03:39] garden92, is it a wubi or a virtual install? [03:39] wubi [03:39] escott: you are the Man [03:39] escott++ [03:39] Lasers, can't wait 'til it's online? :P [03:39] garden92, I think vista is in media in ubuntu, and the wubi has its own file in Vista. [03:40] tanath: I want to reduce stuffs. If I can do that, I'll sell my TV. :3 [03:40] Lasers, you know you can get tv shows online, yes? [03:40] 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] anyone know if ntop has a channel? [03:41] !alis | tpyo [03:41] tpyo: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* [03:41] 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] 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] escott, i don't think "mount" will show it - but the menus used to have a "host system" or something entry [03:41] escott: the easier would be make a real ubuntu install, with it's own partiton [03:41] that is the last problem i have to fix [03:42] escott: you can then use one of those program to make windows able to read and write ext4 filesystem [03:42] urlin2u: where is media? [03:42] Lasers, i sold my tv a while back :P [03:42] xangua, garden92 had the question [03:43] sorry, read the above i said garden92 ;) [03:43] Lasers, if you want to watch something big, you can hook comp up to tv and play it... [03:44] Lasers, you can use vlc for tv or any video stuff. mplayer too. or something like the tvtime application [03:44] 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] DOes this channel support ipv6 [03:45] Lasers with a tv tuner card that is. [03:45] RageSith, why not just add a "cd" command at the start of the script [03:45] 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] example: my battery is at 68%. i just unplugged and it immediately decided battery was critically low and supsended on me. >_< [03:46] is there no /etc/asound.conf on 10.04 ? [03:46] w30: Thank you for tvtime. I'm looking at cards. Do you use a card in particular? [03:46] garden92, here is an interview with him. http://howsoftwareisbuilt.com/2009/03/12/interview-with-agostino-russo-wubi-ubuntu/ [03:47] thanks :) havent expected to be really that simple [03:47] Haupage 350 I think if I remember right [03:48] and it now thinks there's an hour remaining [03:48] Lasers, conexant CX8801 chip anyway [03:48] 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] escott: how i may now say init.d to start those 2 manually added shellscripts on boot automaticly? [03:49] 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] escott: yea alsa-store etc does not work. keeps defaulting back to the other card [03:49] w30, hauppauge 350 is an analogue tuner - not sure how much use that would be these days (at least in North America) [03:49] 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] escott, i suspect it does. i had it on charger for extended period [03:50] RageSith, /etc/rc.local [03:50] escott, letting it run down is bad for battery though [03:51] to the people talking about tv. if you have a PS3 or bluray player, tversity is great at streaming media to TV. [03:51] 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] RageSith, its good practice to include the full path [03:51] escott: what file are the sound preferences saved in? what .conf controlls this? [03:52] theborger, i don't know. i just know the alsa-*store scripts handle it. you might want to read them [03:52] Lasers, put this in /e/tc/tvtime/tvtime.xml:
