[00:38] Damn, a lot of people on tampabay.res.rr.com [00:39] hello? [00:39] ye [00:39] <- Hernando County [00:39] < even worse, polk [00:39] hi, im tryin to install ubuntu.. having some issues! [00:39] haha [00:40] Stubkan: What's up? Post your question, someone should be able to assist you. [00:40] im running the liveusb, is there a way to find out my video card on it [00:40] graphics info says 'unknown' [00:40] Stubkan, lspci in the terminal will list the hardware [00:40] okay, now to find the terminal [00:40] osmosis: the updated package is in proposed, you need to enable that in software sources (on the updates tab) before you can get the updated package [00:41] osmosis: see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for more info [00:43] okay got it [00:43] Stubkan: Are you actually in Ubuntu? [00:43] right now, running liveusb [00:43] ah ok [00:43] the issue is, ive installed it on the hard drive, but when i go to boot it up .. nothing happens [00:43] the screen appears glitched [00:43] i can see something move when i move the mouse, way up on the top 2 pixel rows [00:44] Stubkan, fyi if you use "lspci | grep -i vga" it will only list your graphics card [00:44] True. [00:44] ok, i found the graphics card, anyway with some squinting [00:44] Stubkan, sounds like a bad modeline [00:44] Stubkan, what kind of connector is there between your monitor and your computer? [00:44] ok, what is a bad modeline [00:44] ah now i understand.. yes i have a thingy in the middle [00:45] cos i have a projector and a monitor, so to make it easier i just bought a cheap thing off an asian store to plug both into the video card [00:45] trigrou, wiki was confusing, but you sugesstion to enable it through the gui worked [00:45] trism, thx [00:45] Stubkan, but its an analog vga connector otherwise. i would try it without the splitter and see if it gets better [00:45] reckon i should take that off [00:46] then id have to find another way to hook the projector up .. hm [00:46] hey [00:46] what easy and free video editing software can i install? [00:46] the video card has a hdmi or something plug and i have another plug on that, converting it to the old vga monitor [00:47] would that be an issue === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [00:48] Stubkan, i don't think so [00:48] Stubkan, hdmi sends information about refresh rate and height/width back to the video card and would be preferred [00:48] okay, my monitor doesn't have it though. will try removing the splitter now [00:48] will be back if it is still broken :) [00:48] thank you [00:49] Stubkan, if you can determine a good modeline you can create an Xorg.conf and save the modeline to that, but its hard to get those correct so it would be easier to start without the splitter [00:49] I am trying to set up a simple way to quickly switch between monitor setups. Could anyone help? [00:49] agu10^, pitivi is one [00:50] In essence, it would quickly replace the xorg.conf file, and restart the X11 server. [00:50] When I run "top" in Terminal, I can obviously see all of the running processes; but it seems like there is more to the list. How do I "scroll" down to see everything? [00:50] Recombobulator, you can create an xrandr script if all you need to do is change outputs and resolutions [00:50] Should I simply write a shell script? [00:50] Ok. [00:51] There is no easy way to detect and do it quickly without manually running a script? [00:51] Recombobulator, you can use the gui. but what is it you want "detected" [00:51] join #compiz [00:51] psychx-, if you run htop the keyboard arrow keys work [00:51] Recombobulator: If you plug in a new monitor everything should "Just Work™". [00:52] Well, I have dual monitors. [00:52] Dual monitors and an Nvidia graphics card. [00:52] Recombobulator: That should also just work. What problem are you having? [00:52] how do I use sfdisk to partition an unformatted drive with one partition that is as large as possible? [00:53] brandon__: Why do you want to use sfdisk? [00:53] And an outdated version of Ubuntu, to boot. My network drivers do not work on the latest version of Ubuntu. [00:53] 10.10. [00:53] I am using it in a script [00:53] Alright. I need to go. Thanks! [00:53] brandon__: What is your end goal with this script? [00:54] it wipes the harddrive, then partitions it and clones an image from a clonezilla server [00:55] brandon__: If I recall correctly clonezilla can handle partitioning as well. [00:55] brandon__: What is your *end goal* though? [00:56] I am imaging 75 computers, and I am required to destroy the data from the drives. === emanjr is now known as eboy === slowz_ is now known as slowz [01:02] I have a .run file that is not executing. I set it to be executable, but nothing is happening. It is actually TeamSpeak3-Client-linux_x86-3.0.1.run - Can someone help me to get this working? [01:03] psychx-: how are you executinjg it? [01:04] brandon__: If it's important that the data be destroyed first then I would use dd to copy zeroes to the entire drive first (If you're really paranoid, use a multi-pass purpose built whiping program). From there though I would be very surprised if clonezilla could not do everything else needed automatically. The main purpose of clonezilla is to automate exactly this process. [01:06] psychx-: Teamspeak is available in the repositories. [01:06] psychx-: sudo apt-get install teamspeak-client [01:06] somsip_: Well, basically what I did was right click on the file, go to properties, and set it to be executable. Then I double click on the file (it's in my downloads folder in /home/) and it asks how I'd like to execute it. First I said in TErminal, because that's what it wanted to do anyway. That didn't work. Terminal didnt even open. Then I tried it again, and just did Execute. That didn't work either. I checked top, and didn't see it [01:06] running - so I don't think it froze or anything. [01:06] Jordan_U: I'm not sure that is the correct version. [01:06] I'm already doing that, I need to figure out how to automaticly partition it, so I can run the restore command that it gave me after I entered the configuration mannually. [01:06] Jordan_U: I downloaded Teamspeak 3 from their website, but when I look in repositories, it says 2.0.32 [01:08] psychx-: in a terminal 'sh TeamSpeak3...' what happens? [01:08] hi all exista a program for face recognition and auto tagging? [01:09] somsip_: That is not the proper way to run an executable. sh is not the same as bash, and for all you know it could be a perl script or simple executable. [01:09] roxdragon it's in android 4 [01:09] sh TeamSpeak3... [01:09] that did nothing [01:09] mike@mike-lubuntu:~$ sh TeamSpeak3... [01:09] sh: Can't open TeamSpeak3... [01:09] eross, on ubuntu? [01:10] somsip_: Though I guess in this case it is a posix shell script. [01:10] no i meant it's being developed on the latest androids from what I heard. no idea on linux or ubuntu though [01:11] psychx-: What is the full path to the file, including the full file name? [01:11] eross, ok , there are Google api's released? [01:11] Jordan_U, i believe TS3 might be a windows executable as well... maybe not? [01:12] Jordan_U: /home/mike/Downloads/TeamSpeak3-Client-linux_x86-3.0.1.run [01:12] Jordan_U, i was wront [01:12] roxdragon: I remember hearing about a few projects to add a face recognition/tagging plugin to F-Spot, but I don't know if it ever made it to the finish line [01:12] s/wront/wrong/ [01:12] ok thanks... [01:12] Jordan_U: First line of file: #!/bin/sh which I wy I suggested tat approach [01:13] psychx-: Then run "chmod +x /home/mike/Downloads/TeamSpeak3-Client-linux_x86-3.0.1.run && /home/mike/Downloads/TeamSpeak3-Client-linux_x86-3.0.1.run" [01:13] but what's name for vocal recognition? example: I: hello pc - and pc replies: hello [01:13] Jordan_U: Ok, do I need sudo? [01:14] roxdragon - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speech_recognition_in_Linux [01:14] psychx-: No. [01:15] Jordan_U: Ok, seems like it worked - thank you for the help. I might need more help in a little while, who knows. :) [01:15] psychx-: You're welcome. [01:16] good morning.what to use for 1gb ram lenovo laptop?xubuntu,kubuntu? [01:17] Jordan_U: Quick question.

[01:35] How do I move files to an external hard drive (E:) with initramfs on Busybox [01:36] Generalcamo, you will have to manually mount the external drive and then copy the files over.

[01:38] TheProf, the reinstall is the correct approach. see !clone for how to copy your packages over [01:39] Generalcamo: How did you do this? [01:39] I've just installed latest ubuntu and I'm quite surprised to see that mouse pointer is invisible outside of Firefox [01:39] TheProf: If you specify manual partitioning during the installation, you should be able to tell the installer to use your existing partition as /home, and make sure the "format" checkbox isn't checked. [01:39] Right click, set read and write [01:39] on root [01:39] Hold on a sec. I'm logging out and logging back in as "Orbi" [01:39] !clone [01:39] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [01:39] However, I was only supposed to do that on the app folder [01:39] not on the system files! [01:40] Generalcamo: Were you logged in as root? [01:40] Woah that's complex ubottu! [01:40] "as root" means yes [01:40] TheProf: However, you'll lose some user information when you lose /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, /etc/group, and so on [01:40] brjannc: if I get a live DVD is there a chance I can pull those files off? [01:40] anyone rember the command to add a user to sudoers? [01:40] Generalcamo: Among other security concerns this is why you should never log in as root and why Ubuntu disables logging in as root by default. [01:40] .

[01:51] darz [01:51] brjannc: I was working on setting up a shared folder for the teachers to collaborate on report cards and so I believe I set the permissions on ALL files to 0440 [01:52] so you get really interesting errors and messages when that happens.

[01:55] TheProf: Yeah, that's a fun one :) You could also boot into a livecd and we could try and get it back to limping along from there [01:55] Speaking of livecd... [01:56] Generalcamo: Can you reboot and run the CD's integrity check from the boot menu? (press any key within the first 5 seconds of LiveCD boot to get the boot menu). [01:56] Jordan_U I installed from skype the 64bit ubuntu package, and afterwards I added teh partenr repo and tried it that way [01:56] Greetings! I'm having a problem with the FGLRX package. My video suddenly failed and now the FGLRX package fails to install. http://pastebin.com/TmLiJNy0 [01:56] brjannc: I am downloading and preparing to burn them right now for that reason -- worst case is that in-place reinstall. [01:56] rhinux1: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo apt-get install skype"? [01:56] It is not even booting [01:56] it is stuck on the menu where I choose either Try Ubuntu or Install Ubuntu === ericm-Zzz is now known as ericm|ubuntu [01:57] TheProf: Okay. If this were one of my machines, I would probably go the livecd+chroot route and try and repair some of the damage; happy to help if you'd like to try that. (Disaster recovery is more fun when it's not my data ;) ) [01:57] Hi all! Anyone knows how to restore the original settings in Ubuntu 11.10 when it crashes? [01:57] Jordan_U "skype is the current version." [01:57] I've run Ubuntu for a week, and this is the second time it crashed. :( [01:57] Last time I could remove .gnome2 and .gconf and restart, but this time it doesn't work. [01:57] I still don't have the Launcher or icons in the top of the screen. [01:57] aliquis, when it crashes, does it just freeze? [01:58] Generalcamo: Try the "Check disk for defects" option. [01:58] lyrae, yes, it froze for a while [01:58] and then i was thrown out [01:58] its been happening to me for a year or so now [01:58] Anyone know why gnome-mplayer will open any selection in my places menu? [01:58] like random freeze. nothing in the logs either [01:58] i think it might be bad memory [01:58] ok, thanks, i can run a memtest [01:58] but do you know how to restore the settings then? [01:58] How do I do that? [01:58] Jordan_U shall I remove skype and re install it again? [01:59] seems to happen when i open chrome too [01:59] like if i dont open it at all, wont freeze. but if i open it, it can happen anytime while its open or after i close it [01:59] i don't have chrome, but i think that firefox might have caused it [01:59] could b [01:59] e [01:59] Jordan, how would I do that? [02:00] escott: Do those commands for listing the installed packages work if I'm running it from a live cd and pointing it somehow to the hard drive installation? [02:00] do you also lose your settings, or can you continue working after having restarted? [02:00] TheProf, you probably need to chroot yourself in first [02:01] Jordan, how would I do that? [02:01] escott: OK [02:01] Greetings! I'm having a problem with the FGLRX package. My video suddenly failed and now the FGLRX package fails to install. http://pastebin.com/TmLiJNy0 [02:01] i have some ntfs partitions listed in fstab, but they won't mount automatically on boot [02:01] TheProf, you could also try the admindir argument for dpkg [02:02] hello [02:02] they claim "mountall: fsck /media/d terminated with status 8...unrecoverable fsck error" [02:02] but if i do "sudo mount -a" after booting....they mount fine [02:02] if i add the following to /etc/fstab, then unity 3d won't start after reboot: "tmpfs  /tmp  tmpfs  nodev,nosuid,noexec,mode=1777  0 0" [02:02] and syslog shows this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/740792/ [02:02] How would I run a disk check in the ubuntu install CD [02:03] Hey everyone I have a problem. Just recently I am unable to search for apps or click on Media Apps, Internet Apps, More Apps. Nothing happens if I click on them. Also ALT-F@ displays the run dialogue box but I can't run anything as it won't accept enter afterwards. this is Unity-2D in 11.10 Ubuntu [02:03] Generalcamo: Is this the menu you're stuck at? http://jordanu.dyndns.org/tmp/screenshot_liveCD_boot_menu.png [02:03] escott: if I can get into root in order to run it I guess. [02:03] I am on the GUI install disk [02:04] For onieirc [02:04] Onieric [02:04] It offers install ubuntu and try ubuntu [02:04] SI'm back. The problem I'm having is... I have a Toshiba L300D-SP5801 Laptop (AMD Athlon x2 1.9GHz, 4GB (Kingston Hyper-X RAM), 500GB 7200RPM Seagate HDD, and the most important (the HW that's giving me nightmares) ATI x1250 Video Card with 1854MB (Shared RAM). I have Windows 7 x64 PRO installed and I just installed Ubuntu (Natty) using wubi and assigning 20GB to it. [02:05] I've tried a lot and haven't been successful installing the video driver so that I can take full advantage of that GPU, can anyone help me please? [02:05] TheProf: I'm not sure how a chroot would behave with messed-up /etc, but it's certainly worth a try. [02:05] how to correct my ubuntu 11.10 [02:05] brjannc: true. Thankfully I had /home on a different drive on the server. Unthankfully I only have backups of /home [02:06] g465: more details please! [02:06] I'm really new to linux, though I started using computers back in 1992 and I can find my way around them. [02:06] TheProf: Yeah, I hate that feeling. [02:06] Forget it, I should be given the option to keep files while I am installing... [02:06] is there a CLI calculator, such as this: ((5*3)/2)-7 ? [02:07] orbi: what is it that you are having problems with? [02:07] eross: bc [02:07] orbi: if I'm not totally mistaken, the proprietary ATI video driver doesn't support that gfx card series, so you're stuck w/ the free driver [02:07] eross: bc [02:07] eross: bc [02:07] Greetings! I'm having a problem with the FGLRX package. My video suddenly failed and now the FGLRX package fails to install. http://pastebin.com/TmLiJNy0 [02:07] does anyone else want to tell eross about bc??? [02:07] Generalcamo: fsck is the file system checker [02:07] i just want to see a return value, not go into some other shell [02:07] eross: bc [02:07] TheProf, if the chroot doesnt work the just use the admindir argument to specify the package database that dpkg should look at [02:07] eross, are you looking for something like apcalc? [02:07] szal, that really BLOWS! [02:08] eross: for example... echo 2+3 | bc [02:08] Generalcamo: Reboot the LiveCD and press any key when you see this: http://jordanu.dyndns.org/tmp/press_any_key_when_you_see_this.png which will get you to this menu [02:08] eross, bash can do arithmetic with variables [02:08] Generalcamo: ... This menu: http://jordanu.dyndns.org/tmp/screenshot_liveCD_boot_menu.png where you can choose the "Check disk for defects" option. [02:08] escott: I follow thanks. [02:08] flopex, I can't even have a two-display desktop, as Ubuntu doesn't know how to use the GPU correctly [02:08] eross, echo $(( 1 + 3 * 2 )) [02:08] Got it [02:08] echo 5*3.2 | bc - gives me 16.0 [02:09] eross: what did you want instead? [02:09] Thats funny. bc doesnt do decimals for me. [02:10] a calcuator without an interface, pass it a complex statement like you would in basic or c and then it return the answer [02:10] eross: bc [02:10] ... [02:10] using ubuntu 11.10 is there a way to edit the login screen to that users must type a user name and password [02:10] bc doesn't do decimals? [02:10] Ziber, you have to specify the scale parameter [02:10] escott: how? [02:10] eross: you just gave an example in this channel where it did... [02:11] Ziber, eross interactively scale=## [02:11] I'm using SciDAVis and after I change the axis labes, a blue box forms around the label and refuses to go away. When I export the plot the blue box shows up in the exported image. How do I get rid of the blue box after modifying the axis labes? [02:11] eross: 3*5.2 is exactly 16.0 [02:11] is there any way to modify the keyboard shortcut CTRL + ALT + t => terminal... I'd like it to open terminator by default [02:11] welll doh [02:12] eross, echo "scale=5; 5/3" | bc [02:12] its 15.600000000000001 with float type =) [02:12] eross, or bc -l for maximum precision [02:14] Any other thoughts or tips to make an ATI Radeon X1250 GPU work correctly in Natty?, does anyone have any kind of reliable information about this card compatibility with Natty?

[02:22] hello [02:22] Squarepy, the 32bit recommendation is mostly because 32bit will run on anything [02:22] aha [02:22] Thanks for all the help. Have a good night. [02:22] escott, so its not unrecommend to install on a 64 bit system? [02:23] I need help! I tried installing Ubuntu for the first time, and I think I accidentally installed Ubuntu server.

[02:27] there were colored rectangles, but it was mostly text [02:28] any word on sound issue with VGC-VA10G ? [02:28] I burned another copy of ubuntu (not ubuntu server) onto a DVD, but I can't get it to boot off of the disc [02:28] cybermolly10: That sounds like Ubuntu server. You can install the "ubuntu-desktop" metapackage, uninstall the server packages, and get a Desktop Ubuntu setup from here. But I would recommend just installing Ubuntu Desktop from scratch instead. [02:29] cybermolly10: What happens when you try to boot from the DVD? [02:29] ok, again, I'm very stupid, how do I install Ubuntu desktop from scratch when I'm stuck at this screen? [02:29] cybermolly10, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [02:30] brianc: any ideas to make it work at least "decently", LOL [02:30] cybermolly10: Boot from and Ubuntu Desktop disk. That's why I asked what happens when you try to boot from the DVD you burned, to try to debug that problem. [02:30] cybermolly10, install from scratch means, get that dvd to boot and install from there [02:31] trism: you said to add greeter-hide ? to lightdm, and restart it after loggin' out [02:31] I tried typing in the get install thingy, and it said "couldn't find package ubuntu-desktop" [02:31] orbi: I don't have any personal knowledge, no; best I could do is recommend reading through the page I linked to you, and following some of the links at the bottom :\ Sorry! [02:31] I don't know how to force it to boot off of the DVD, restarting doesn't help [02:31] brianc: I've tried to follow the instructions on that page previously with no success, that's why I'm desperately asking for some help [02:31] cybermolly10: What happens when you try to boot from the DVD? [02:32] trism: it didn't work for me , pasing lightdm.conf [02:32] how can I boot from the DVD? is there something I can type? [02:32] brianc: well, I'll keep trying then. gotta go, thanks to those with whom I chatted tonight. [02:32] orbi: I understand! Wish I could help more. I'm sure there are/will be some ATI gurus around at some point [02:33] cybermolly10: Do you know how to change the boot order in your BIOS, or how to get to a menu for temporarily selecting a boot device?

Specifically I want to remove the Messaging Menu.

[02:40] whoever: is this unity-greeter? [02:40] I couldn't connect to the internet, and when I searched for tips online, it seemed like everyone was confused about the new version, so I decided to download the previous version [02:41] I rebooted the computer, it went into windows, I downloaded what I thought was the second most recent version, but somehow I accidentally installed the ubuntu server [02:42] so then on this computer (a mac) I tried to burn the actual second most recent version of ubuntu onto a dvd, stuck it in the PC, and now it won't boot off the dvd, or go to windows, or do anything [02:42] trism: yes it is [02:42] cybermolly10: I would recommend sticking with Ubuntu 11.10 personally. If you don't want the latest then 10.04 would be better than any other versions as it has long term support. [02:42] brjannc, I tried that I couldn't find anything :( It just happens to be a PHP library but no support other than commerical that I can find :( [02:42] szal Jordan_U I removed skype, disabled all additional repos except extras ubuntu and canonical partner, apt-get install skype on amd64 ubuntu 11.10 causes err msg: http://pastebin.com/jqxEkiS4 [02:43] iggi_: Sorry to hear that; best place to ask would probably be in #php then [02:43] I would be willing to go back to 11.1 if I could do anything, but I am just stuck [02:43] hey [02:43] what programs does devede use to operate ? [02:43] brjannc, Thanks, I found some developer forums I will try too. [02:43] I'm having some issues with my video card, can some one help me?

[02:45] Why is it that when I'm installing a multi-disc game through wine, I can't eject my disk? It says it's in use by another process and won't let me do it. [02:45] earlier I was on here, it seemed to think 2000x1500 was a good resolution to boot up in, so my old LCD was glitching out I found another monitor that handled it, so im able to down-size the resolution now.. but it's on 'unknown' I have a radeon 6950 card.. I want to be able to use the 3d on it [02:45] Does anyone know how to remove the MessagingMenu from the toolbar in 11.10? [02:45] whoever: yeah, seems like you would have to rebuild the package to change it [02:46] its a very fresh install - so i think its the default driver or something [02:46] Stubkan: theres a program that is called additional drivers that may be able to install the necessary ones for your radeon card [02:47] trism: ok, you thing they would had made that a config option [02:47] cybermolly10, can you get to the boot menu when you power it up? by pressing f12 or f9 or however yours does it? [02:47] trism: thx for your help [02:47] I had a previous installation, 15 mins ago where I selected the propriety drivers - and I installed them - then the whole computer seemed to slow down.. nothing was smooth and minecraft i ran as a test - said it was 80 fps but it seemed more like 15 [02:47] i can try [02:47] bagels: normally i copy all the contents of all the disks to a single directory, theninstall from that directory, not even using the disks to insall then. [02:47] there are supposed to be open source drivers for radeon aren't there? [02:47] thanks dr_willis , I'll try that. [02:48] cybermolly and by it doing nothing, you mean it doesnt boot into ubuntu server? just a black screen or? if you can get into boot menu you can chose to have it boot from cd/dvd instead of the hdd [02:48] Stubkan: hmm. that is odd. i dont have a machine with an ati card, and all i have experience with are nvidia and intel chipsets in linux. [02:49] yes, installing those propriety drivers actually seemd to degrade performance :( [02:49] Stubkan: it actually ran better before you installed the drivers? [02:49] so.. any way to get rid of "unity" on recent ubuntu? classic desktop is gone [02:49] i want my classic, 2001-era gnome [02:49] basically, I can log in, and then i'm still on a black and white screen that is all text [02:49] just moving windows around on the desktop is smooth now - after installing those drivers, they stutter [02:50] and there apparently are commands I can type but I don't understand any of them === Jasonn is now known as osum [02:50] !nounity | sartan [02:50] sartan: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default.

[03:26] @brjannc: Sorry that I don't have the right problem :D [03:27] rhinux1: :D [03:29] Hi Guys. I Would like to know if somebody can help me find out the reason why my Graphic Card is getting real Hot on my VAIO after I installed Ubuntu 11.10 [03:29] I'm pretty new on linux. [03:29] Is anyone there? [03:29] :) [03:29] is btrfs now stable enough to use it in production? thinking about to use btrfs for next ubuntu intallation on another lappy [03:30] rhinux1: no [03:30] rhinux1: I'd say no; it's still missing fsck utilities, for example [03:30] Maybe run Ubuntu 2D? [03:30] @luis_ [03:30] brjannc: well, fsck utilities don't really define the stability of anything [03:31] still on 2D is getting hot. [03:31] brjannc: when you need to run fsck your crap is already hosed, you're just hoping some crafty analytics can salvage something [03:31] @luis_ which vga chip is in there , see "lspci | grep vga" on terminal [03:31] and do you know which graphics driver do you use? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [03:31] but btrfs still has some nasty bugs that cause data loss, that's reason enough to avoid it in production unless you are making regular incremental backups and can afford data loss [03:32] (would be a great filesystem to use on a web server that caches lots of images that can be regenerated, at least) [03:32] Hi rhinux1 [03:32] @snuxoll: backup is necessary, but I dont want to restore all the time my files :) [03:33] I just typed that but nothing happened. Sorry. I'm very new. [03:33] Hey guys, Just dawned on me. Back when i was using windows i remember there was a "copy to clipboard" option. I am running 11.04 and want something similar. I often find doing research with several tabs of articles open and just want to copy a few quick things then paste it all into a blank notepad or document. So my question is does ubuntu have a clipboard thing that would suite my needs? [03:33] rhinux1: obviously :) [03:34] @luis_ no problem :) do you know how to open a terminal windows? [03:34] yes [03:34] @rhinux1 [03:34] yes [03:35] Tadcrazio: clipit, gpaste, diodon, [03:36] Tadcrazio: ...are all worth looking at, but they might not be exactly what you want [03:36] and did you type inside the terminal / bash console "lspci | grep vga" without the sourrounding " ? [03:36] thank you somsip [03:36] sorry "lspci | grep -i vga" -i for ignoring case, [03:37] it could be vga or Vga or VGA so that you find all of them [03:39] Hello, I need some help using my blackberry with Ubuntu. === anthony is now known as Guest51539 [03:39] will be there the possibility to migrate from ext4 to btrfs or do I need to backup 500G, format it and restore all the data again? [03:40] rhinux1, i believe you can migrate. instructions are on the btrfs website [03:45] Can anyone point me in the direction on how to setup a vpn server on ubuntu 10.04?

I'm in germany and use teamviewer to admin my moms pc there, it is very slooooow. so may be the problem in our PCs or is the internet over there so slow? I have 50Mbit/s over cable TV, she dont know her bandwith overthere [03:48] he wants me to install ubuntu, and have it use a secondary monitor, but tells me that when he attempts to do so, it defaults to the broken laptop monitor and never uses the secondary [03:49] drijen: there should be a key combo to switch it [03:49] is there a way to force ubuntu to use the secondary at boot/install, or would it be easier to do a cli install and configure X after the fact [03:49] may i ask what that key combo is? [03:49] im having trouble with rails on ubuntu 11 can anyone help [03:49] drijen: depends on the model of the system === RickG3 is now known as RickGIII [03:50] oh yiou mean hardware wise, not ubuntu wise [03:50] do you have a direct ubuntu method, or shall i shoot for workarounds as they woudl just be more straight forward [03:50] drijen: yes, there will be a shortcut to switch it, should be ok [03:50] rgr that [03:50] thanks for your time, please take care [03:51] np man, gl [03:51] has anyone else had any problems with firefox 8, i just had to go back to the default ubuntu ff3.6 because ff8 was instantly crashing on me === luist_ is now known as luist [03:54] bsmith093: default of 3.6? What version of Ubuntu are you on? [03:55] somsip_: ubuntu 1004 lucid [03:55] bsmith093: ah. I didn't know they'd not updated the LTS to a higher version. Wow. I'm surprised... [03:56] bsmith093: did you make a vanilla profile after you upgraded? [03:56] anyone know how I can stop the panel icons from randomly re-arranging themselves? (ubuntu Lucid LTS), I even tried 'Locking to panel' it seems nothing stops them from randomly re-arranging themselves on each power on or restart [03:56] i upgraded to 8 usign the mozzilla repos, and it was crashing , so i wanted to go back to 7, which involved pulling the mozz repos,and using 362, so how do i get7 now [03:56] Hey. I've just installed 11.10 on a Dell E5400, and could do with some hand-holding to get this thing optimised. I'm struggling to find what I need. [03:57] ActionParsnip: i loaded ff3.6 once to create the config folders, the uit and dumped a backup of my ff7 firefox config folder into it, merge replace all, done [03:57] but not its ff36 as opposed to ff7 so how do i upgrade to that versioon [03:57] bsmith093: but did you rename ~/.mozilla after you changed version? [03:58] copied it out, then removed ff8, installed 3, put it back [03:59] Kimble: optomise in what way? [03:59] seems to work fine now, but the point is i would like to be running ff7 again [03:59] bsmith093: so did you try a blank profile with ver 8? [03:59] ummm no, how would i do that [04:00] Well, it'd be nice if I could be sure that it had all the appropriate drivers. At the moment the fans are on constantly, and the GPU reports as Unknown. [04:00] bsmith093: install 8, then rename ~/.mozilla when you run the browser,you will make a fresh profile which should work [04:00] k then [04:00] It doesn't recognise my Bluetooth or WiFi hardware either. [04:01] Kimble: ok what is the output of: lspci | grep -i vga [04:01] Kimble: I recommend you use a wired link and get fully updated [04:01] I do have a wired link and I have. [04:02] Kimble: what is the output of: sudo lshw -C network | grep -i produc [04:02] Kimble: we can get your wifi going then you can get the rest sorted easier [04:02] I'll be honest, I'm struggling to even discover how to find installed applications. It's not very intuitive. [04:03] How do I launch an terminal app? [04:03] Kimble: type the application's name [04:03] OK. And what's it called on a default install? [04:03] ActionParsnip: upgrading to ff8 using this ppa, whick i think is the official one http://ppa.launchpad.net/mozillateam/firefox-stable [04:03] Kimble: press the windows key and type the apps name [04:04] Yes, but what's the app name on Ubuntu? [04:04] bsmith093: ok, yes thats the officially managed one as far as I am aware [04:04] Kimble: terminal [04:04] Kimble: I'm sorry I jumped into the context, what application are you looking for? [04:04] Any terminal app. [04:04] Kimble, Applications -> Accessories->Terminal [04:04] Kimble: gnome-terminal [04:04] Kimble: that search is like the app search in the windows start menu [04:05] Kimble: Ctrl + Alt + T to launch terminal, and then I don't know, try application called top [04:05] Kimble: I'd say it was as intuitive as it comes [04:05] Hm, is it me or something is wrong with brightness levels in EeePC... [04:05] ActionParsnip: trust me, it's not. [04:05] qin: which model, EEE PC make a lot of devices [04:05] How do I get to the Applications folder, fe.? [04:05] Kimble: well microsoft use the same method [04:06] ActionParsnip: ok, blank profile, now put back original mozilla folder [04:06] ActionParsnip: 1005p [04:06] bsmith093: just copy in your shortcuts, looks like the old profile causes issues [04:06] ActionParsnip: I've used Windows XP and 7, and am currently an OS X 10.6 user. But Ubuntu's interface is not as intuitive as you claim. [04:07] Kimble: typing the app you want is even better than having to guess which folder the app you want is in [04:07] Guess? You have to guess which folder an app is in in Ubuntu? [04:07] Kimble: can you run the command I gave, it will tell us the wireless chip [04:07] I'm not really bothered about the wireless chip, tbh. I'd rather get the graphics and the mobo chipset drivers sorted first. [04:07] Hi can someone please let me know what is the command line to update Java on server [04:08] Kimble: you would in ANY OS if you weren't sure, the search shows things matching what you type [04:08] Kimble yes the mac os is exactly the same on a base level- the underlying unix commands are what makes it special it shares much of this on common with linux [04:08] ActionParsnip: yes, my friend, but you must have some idea what the name of the application you are searching for is. [04:08] I have java installed I need to update to latest version on server [04:09] Ubuntu software center is a great way to scroll through the installapps [04:09] Kimble: its like when games install themselves under the developers name, like Programs -> EA Games -> Need For Speed. I don't want to have to remember the developer of the game I make, yet the guys use this as default. [04:09] Kimble: there are also categories of apps you can use on the right so it groups them that way too, nice and easy [04:10] click installed software in Ubuntu software center thats as close as youl get Kimble - iam not an ubuntu admin [04:10] can somone help please [04:10] Blackadder: you will need to grab the installer from www.java.com as oracle change the license [04:11] so the existing java on Ubuntu requires a license [04:11] Does anyone know until when ubuntu studio 11.04 wil be supported? [04:11] Blackadder: oracle acquired java and changed the license [04:12] Ok, I ran lspci|grep -i vga - I have Intel Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrate Graphics Controller. [04:12] elbeto: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases [04:12] Yes I know but I still managed to install [04:12] Kimble: ok and the lshw based command please [04:12] a while back & I am not running xserver on server [04:12] only shell [04:12] thanks! [04:13] ActionParsnip: ok well i changed the profile path back to my old one, and it works in ff8 now so yay, and thanks for the help :) [04:13] It shows me the gigabit ethernet controller, but no wifi. [04:13] bsmith093: np man, profiles can make firefox moan like a little girl. Its one of the reasons I don't use it [04:14] Kimble: hmm, strange. Does it show if you run: lspci [04:14] yes but the upshot is that backup is brain dead simple copy one folder [04:15] bsmith093: exactly, same with other apps :) [04:15] goodbye everyone future haylos will not be me [04:16] Oddly, no, there's no mention of a wifi card in the results. [04:17] Though I know I have one - I've seen it with my own eyes, and it functioned find under Windows 7. [04:17] ^fine^ [04:19] Kimble: do you dual boot? [04:19] Can someone post a link to a decent and concise description of how to both find and install all appropriate drivers for a ubuntu-based laptop? [04:19] ActionParsnip: no. I installed on top of a non-genuine Windows 7 install that came with the machine. [04:20] Kimble: the description of the guide you want is too vague [04:20] What's the best way to screenshot? [04:20] psychx-: press printscreen [04:20] Eh? That's too vague? [04:20] Surely there must be some kind of repository for hardware drivers? [04:20] Kimble: basically you asked "Is there a guide to make ubuntu work on laptops" [04:20] ActionParsnip: I know this isn't the right channel for this, but I'm running lubuntu, and when I hit printscreen and go to mtpaint; it doesn't let me paste it. [04:21] Kimble: the possible configuration variations is astronomical, so no single guide could feasibly exist [04:21] ActionParsnip: actually i think i found it in my home folder. [04:21] psychx-: lubuntu is supported :) [04:21] I can't figure out why I can't hear anything on my computer [04:21] You're not exactly confirming Ubuntu as easy-to-use, you must confess... [04:21] Having appropriate drivers installed is a basic of any OS install. [04:22] psychx-: you can run: sudo apt-get install imagemagick then run; sleep 15; import ~/screenshot.png the sleep command gives you time to arrange the screen, you can then draw a box around what you desire [04:22] ActionParsnip: Thanks :) [04:22] Anyone other than ActionParsnip responding to help requests here? He's taking on everyone single-handed atm. [04:23] Kimble: I have installed Windows7 on my Asus p1-AH2 pundit, it took me 2 HOURS to find sound drivers [04:23] Why would it take you two hours? Is it an OEM machine? [04:23] Kimble: on the other hand 100% of my hardware, even wifi, works out of the box [04:23] Kimble: yes, home build and Asus don't give Win7 drivers for the model [04:24] Kimble: is the wifi enabled in BIOS? Is there a hardware switch to enable / disable wifi? [04:24] Well, no offence, but that's one of the pitfalls of rolling your own PC - you have to make sure the drivers are available for your configuration before purchasing. [04:25] Kimble: Its an old PC, running a Semperon AM2 [04:25] ActionParsnip: aha, you may have hit on something. Yes, I disabled all wireless hardware in bios. [04:25] Kimble: but Ubuntu works 100% out of the box, seems easy to use to me [04:25] htop is awesome. [04:25] Kimble: so the disabledness is not ubuntu's fault, is it? [04:25] I didn't say it was. ?? I told you i couldn't care less about the wifi anyway. [04:26] Kimble: no OS can use hardware if you make it not work in BIOS [04:26] And I never blamed Ubuntu. [04:26] What I want to do, as I've stated before, is to get the gpu recognised properly and stop the fans spinning. [04:26] no-one else got something to say? All on bouncers? [04:26] Kimble: but you said it wasn't coming across as easy to use.... [04:26] It's not. [04:27] You were the one that wanted me to install wifi drivers. [04:27] I told you i had wired. [04:27] Kimble: its just different, you'll get that switching from any OS [04:27] I'm not switching, tho. This is just a side-line project. [04:27] Kimble: same difference [04:28] oh god, I'm no further forward and now I have to apologise to someone on IRC for disparaging Ubuntu? [04:28] Kimble: no, just making statements about an OS you aren't familiar wit at all is a bit rich [04:28] thats all [04:29] I still have no graphics drivers, I don't know where to find them and no-one seems to know how I can even _find out_ about where to find them. [04:29] Hm, is it me or something is wrong with brightness levels in EeePC 1005p? [04:29] Kimble: they are part of a default install [04:29] I've used previous versions of Ubuntu, and didn't find them so un-intuitive. [04:29] Besides, the learning curve of any OS is part of its ease-of-use factor. [04:30] Kimble: You are probably using Unity, you can install the gnome fallback or switch to XFCE which is a lot like Gnome2 [04:30] qin: which release [04:30] Well, if they are part of the default install, why doesn't it recognise my GPU? [04:30] ActionParsnip: 11.10 [04:30] ActionParsnip: ;) [04:30] qin: and which BIOS version? [04:30] qin: why the ;) ? [04:31] qin: seems you need the boot option: acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor [04:31] ActionParsnip: Beggar, just transfering 80gig, lets leave it for tomorrow. Oh, will try it, thanks [04:32] qin: source: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC/1005P [04:33] Kimble: Ive seen some Intel GPUs need an xorg.conf (old school), If the screen doesn't report EDID. You can read /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see what is going on when the X server gets created [04:33] ActionParsnip: Yeah I have seen that page, apparently did not bother to read it, thanks again. [04:35] Kimble: once you enable the wifi, it appears its a cheap broadcom 43xx. This will help you install it [04:35] !broadcom | Kimble [04:35] Kimble: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [04:36] Why is wifi so important? I couldn't care less about the wifi. I've said that three times at least. lol. [04:37] maybe ubuntu was a bad idea. I think i'll see if there's a linux flavour with better support for this notebook. [04:37] I'm starting to get that Wintel headache again... [04:37] Only now it's Lintel... [04:38] Kimble: if you run: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf you can add this text: http://pastie.org/2876052 [04:41] I appreciate your attempts, but Ubuntu just isn't good enough, I'm afraid. I'm going to look elsewhere. Find a flavour with better support for my hardware and easier to configure. [04:41] Peace, my friend. :) [04:42] I can't figure out why I can't hear anything on my computer...not sure how to diagnose this either... [04:43] mylisto: check source of sound, physical connections and test if speakers work [04:43] its a laptop [04:43] it was working a few minutes ago... [04:43] this happens from time to time...no sound from players/youtube/etc [04:43] I usually have to reset my laptop [04:44] mylisto: go to a terminal, type 'alsamixer' is anything showing no bars or "MM"? [04:45] the speaker one is all the way down [04:45] turn it up [04:46] I know ;) [04:47] aeon-ltd: that didn't do anything [04:48] what do you do prior to this happening? [04:48] nothing... [04:48] it does this from time to time... [04:48] I know I was editing a video in kdenlive...and I got a sound error [04:49] anyone ever run into an issue during boot after initrd where mounting fails giving a Mount: too many levels of symbolic links [04:49] hmm if you can't get it fixed today make a forum post with a screenshot of the error [04:50] there is no more error for me to get a screen shot of [04:50] argh... [04:50] linux sound drives me nuts [04:51] Ok, so I was using TeamSpeak, and the sound was working fine. Now, when I go to open Chromium, I have no sound. Any ideas? [04:51] mylisto: try restarting alsa [04:52] hey [04:52] hi there [04:52] what would cause php test.php to work, but ./test.php not to work [04:53] how do I restart alsa aeon-ltd: ? [04:54] ./test.php errors with "No such file or directory" [04:54] mylisto: sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart [04:54] tystr: ? [04:55] tystr: what are you trying to run it with? [04:55] php test.php works fine, but ./test.php errors no such file [04:56] tystr: Executable bit. [04:56] just running from the cli [04:56] hmm [04:58] hello rvm is not working in ubuntu [04:58] why not? [04:58] i mean, even with 777 perms not working... [04:58] what rvm ? === jiohdiaway is now known as jiohdi [05:02] i don't know [05:03] Can someone help me diagnose my problem? I have no sound, I just rebooted. I had sound find in TeamSpeak3, then opened Chromium - no sound. Rebooted. Now I opened Chromium, no sound. Opened Banshee and imported mp3's that I know work, and I still have no sound. [05:07] mylisto: any luck? [05:09] tystr: whats the first line of test.php [05:09] <_chaos_> anyone here work at ubuntu [05:10] <_chaos_> http://www.lulu.com/product/ebook/beginning-ubuntu-linux/14921533?productTrackingContext=search_results/search_shelf/center/9 [05:10] _chaos_, there are probably people working at canonical here. [05:10] you mean work for conaical? [05:10] <_chaos_> i dunno === csdserver_ is now known as csdserver [05:10] <_chaos_> check the link kinda funny [05:10] <_chaos_> http://www.lulu.com/product/ebook/beginning-ubuntu-linux/14921533?productTrackingContext=search_results/search_shelf/center/9 [05:11] _chaos_, ubuntu is run by a company called canonical. Just like no one works for Windows :-P [05:11] <_chaos_> oh the rich guys. right. cool [05:12] _chaos_, "Without even having read this publication, I can safely say that it is ever so slightly over-priced. Even with the 20% discount I would be expecting the download to run Ubuntu for me, while also teaching me the art of alchemy. I'm guessing it wont." [05:12] <_chaos_> lol [05:13] <_chaos_> i assume Canonical did not publish that [05:13] On old Ubuntu distro, where is the config file for ethernet IP ? [05:13] booh-: /etc/network/interfaces [05:13] <_chaos_> yep [05:14] booh-: which fits for every ubuntu-version [05:14] I look at /etc/network/interfaces but even if I change the ip in this file, when I reboot the ip is not changed. [05:14] <_chaos_> nope [05:14] booh-: pastebin it? [05:14] booh-: using also network-manager? [05:14] booh-: also, NetworkManager doesn't play nice. [05:14] <_chaos_> dhcp [05:14] I think gnome take over the config.. [05:15] <_chaos_> evil gnomes in my computer [05:15] booh-: not gnome but the network-manager [05:15] _chaos_: click the "author" link on that page [05:15] amn gnomes [05:15] facebook got pwned [05:15] its like the new keezmovies [05:15] I just have access to ssh... because the goal is to reboot a virtual version of a phys server... so I need to change the ip and hostname before booting..

[05:19] The problem is about network-manager [05:19] booh-: please paste it [05:19] that take over the network/interfaces file [05:19] booh-: if you configure an insterface in interfaces file, network manager will not be able to touch it and it will be seen as unmanagable [05:19] booh-: so yourfile is wrong, otherwise that would happen === seeker is now known as Guest38846 === sol is now known as Guest51921 [05:26] Ubuntu version is feisty [05:27] booh-: Feisty hasn't been supported for years.

[05:30] Don't give me a political answer if I just want to modify an IP of a server! [05:30] come on.. [05:30] booh-: no need to reboot to change IP, just restart the networking service [05:31] booh-: change the file and restart the service, no need to reboot, this isn't windows [05:31] Is it possible to have answer without asking me to justify x...y...z.. decision? [05:31] Hi everyone! My cardbus wireless adapter (exactly Belkin N1 Notebook Adapter, Part # F5D8011v2) won't connect at all, like, there is no light saying it is powered on. It is supposed to be supported by the ath9k driver, so why is it not working? Here are some commands I issued that I hope help solve the problem. http://pastebin.com/7DZHkR00 I want to use the Belkin over my internal Realtek [05:31] iwconfig doesn't detect it either :\ [05:31] I need to be sure after a reboot that the server won't take the ip configure in network-manager. That's it. not more. [05:31] booh-: i didn't ask you to justify anything [05:32] You know where network-manager store the ip? [05:32] booh-: can you pastebin the interfaces file please and we can verify the config [05:32] This is my only question. [05:32] booh-: no idea personally, you can use network manager to set a static IP too you know... [05:33] I can't access at this time (remotely) the x interface. [05:33] Only ssh [05:33] booh-: Can you not figure it out through ifconfig? [05:34] booh-: you can connect with: ssh -X username@host and run gui apps [05:35] booh-: try /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections  [05:36] booh-: yep, its in that folder [05:36] booh-: you will need to open the file with: sudo nano /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/filenamehere [05:37] booh-: I found that out with: http://blogs.gnome.org/dcbw/2010/04/30/what-you-dont-know-about-networkmanager-part-1-configuration/ [05:37] booh-: which wasn't hard to find at all....

Here are some commands I issued that I hope help solve the problem. http://pastebin.com/7DZHkR00 I want to use the Belkin over my internal Realtek [05:40] pivotraze: does: dmesg | tail show a reaction if you plug it in after you log in without the device plugged in [05:41] been logged in for a bit, but I plugged it in after I logged in about 20m ago. Here is the output: http://pastebin.com/h87EnuBf [05:41] hey guys, if /etc/apache2/ folder is removed, how can I reinstall it with aptitude === jiohdi_ is now known as jiohdi [05:42] codeabit, only if you remove reinstall [05:42] codeshah: purge all of the apache packages, then reinstall them. [05:43] hmm [05:43] I have apache and nginx and both aren't doing that [05:43] i did remove [05:43] then reinstall [05:43] ash purge hmm how do I do that [05:43] codeshah: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:43] its sudo apt-get purge pkgname [05:43] codeshah: purge, not remove. And all apache packages, meaning -common and -bin and -mpm-prefork [05:44] k [05:44] codeshah: libapache2-* too [05:44] codeshah: `dpkg -l | grep apache` may prove useful [05:44] I did apt-get purge nginx, then apt-get install nginx [05:45] but /etc/nginx is not there . [05:45] I assume it works the same for all packages - not just apache [05:45] hello. I am a brand new ubuntu user [05:45] I have everything set up [05:46] but I am having problems setting up a virtual machine using virtual box. Is there anybody who can help me? [05:46] jgrig2: is virtualbox installed? [05:46] yes [05:46] codeshah: yes, but you need to purge every package that puts something there. "nginx" doesn't have a whole lot, it looks like it installs "nginx-full" which then installs "nginx-common", etc. [05:46] Virtual box is installed [05:46] codeshah: Try this: dpkg -S /etc/nginx [05:46] ok [05:46] codeshah: then purge all the packages listed there. [05:46] aah I see [05:47] I was only remoinv nginx, so I have to remove nginx-full / common too etc k [05:47] and I have my own legal copies of mac osx and windows 7 (64bit) which came to with my computers [05:47] thx [05:47] I have an old macbook and a Fujitsu (came with windows) and I wiped the harddrive to install Ubuntu [05:48] jgrig2: ok then tere is a menu item to run the GUI and you can setup a virtual OS there, if your system is not decent, it will make both the host and guest struggle [05:48] codeshah: apt figures you removed those files in purpose (just like you may modify them to change some configuration bits, "remove" is just an extreme form of modify). So unless you tell apt to remove the config files (purge does, remove doesn't), it'll "keep your changes" [05:48] May i talk with you in private actionparsnip because i'm h aving troubel following you with the other things going on [05:48] jgrig2: sure [05:48] I also have the exact error message [05:50] random q: Does WOW run well in WINE? [05:50] pivotraze: yes [05:51] will i loose all the customization on blackbuntu if i upgrade it? [05:51] Mmmm... yummy. I was going to keep Windows just for that xD I love Ubuntu way more, but WoW kept me on Windows. Do I just run the installed in WINE and I'm set? or any needed edits?

[05:59] pivotraze, "OpwenGL doesn't run well in Windows..." your a funny guy. [05:59] zykotick9: ??? I stated it doesn't run well on windows with *my* card [06:00] pivotraze, is "my card" = ati? [06:00] haha [06:00] No. "my card" = intel ;) [06:00] XD [06:00] I know xD [06:01] So I don't even need to install WoW again? I can just c/p all the files onto my linux os and not need to do anything more? I can't tell if I'm understanding this wrong [06:01] pivotraze, intel isn't bad! seriously. my netbook is intel and i'm very happy with it. [06:01] zykotick9: Intel 945gm? [06:03] pivotraze, not sure - i'm on my desktop right now (nvidia non-free) [06:05] ah. Well, I have the intel 945gm, which is integrated. Max 128MB ram (shared with true ram, not dedicated), Pixel Shaders 2.0, Vertex Shaders I think non-existant, or a low version, and Hardware Shading... eh. None :) [06:06] pivotraze: set a lower res and colour depth etc, you'll get more FPS [06:06] hello all [06:06] i am facing problem [06:06] can any one help me plz [06:06] i am using ubuntu 11.10 [06:06] I usually run at 1280x720 (I just can't run at a lower res :) It's just too horrible!) and i don't think you can change color depth without screwing up game? [06:06] mukkugolla: what is the problem/ [06:06] ? [06:07] my volume control icon vanished from top pannel [06:07] i stragulling to get back that icon .. [06:08] is there any way to get back that volume control button .. [06:08] oh, sorry, I haven't figured anything like that out :\ No problems personally. I'm sure there is, but Idk how in ubuntu 11.10 :p [06:08] hmmm [06:09] i uninstalled and installed the alsa and pulse audio .. [06:09] nothing worked ... [06:10] i'm late to the game mukkugolla...what's your audio issue? [06:10] it's probably called something specific... I'm not sure. [06:10] aking1012: his volume control button is missing [06:10] my audio icon form top pannel disappered ... [06:10] button/icon. Interchangable words to me :) [06:11] :) [06:11] mukkugolla: I'm assuming you have tried logging out/in or restarting? [06:11] ya i did even rebooted .. [06:11] oh, that's not alsa or pulse...that's a tray icon...and it's probably not the disappeared icon that's the problem. it's probably something that launches before it. [06:11] hey guys. any suggestions on speeding up ubuntu? [06:11] dbus would obviously be working. I'm not sure what the icon, or even that portion of the panel relies on. Anyone else? [06:12] one sec tweak, let me find the info [06:12] tweak: What types of things are slow for you? [06:12] Jordan_U: a lot of things, firefox, opening windows, just general sluggishness [06:13] tweak: How much RAM do you have? What graphics card? [06:13] Basic stuff is: http://linux-software-news-tutorials.blogspot.com/2011/03/how-to-speed-up-ubuntu.html <-- That and This --> http://ubuntulinuxhelp.com/speed-up-your-internet-connection-in-ubuntu-linux/ [06:13] And of course, what Jordan_U says :) [06:14] And to add on, what CPU speed [06:14] Jordan_U: 4GB [06:15] nice amount of ram. Double what i have :P Graphics card? [06:15] 11.12 does gnome3.2 [06:15] pivotraze: AMD athlon II X# 440 3ghz 3 core [06:15] That would be the CPU more likely than the GPU. What is the GPU/Graphics Card. [06:15] Btdubs, nice CPU :D [06:16] 10.04, 11.10, 12.04, or bust lunxuz3r [06:16] pivotraze: one sec gotta lspci [06:16] Way better than my 1.6GHz Dual core :p and k [06:16] @tweak there's no reason that should be sluggish [06:17] aking1012: That's what I'm thinking. And if CPU/RAM is nice, GPU probably will be [06:17] pivotraze: ATI Radeon HD4200 [06:17] i do use binary drivers for nvidia and ati cards though [06:17] quit [06:17] tweak: Binary drivers in that ATI? [06:17] tweak, get an SSD drive ;) [06:17] zykotick9: Heh. I want one :) Honestly, I want an SSD only for system tho. [06:17] smh... SSD... smh [06:17] HDD for games, etc... [06:17] pivotraze: yeah using propriatary [06:18] zykotick9: a what ;p [06:18] !bin [06:18] tweak: Then there is *no* reason for that to be sluggish XD Did u try the two links I sent? [06:18] just get a tonne of ram and it will be used as disk cache. Faster than the SSD :) [06:18] tweak: A Solid State Drive. I think 10x (or more?) the speed of a normal Hard Dis kDrive on average. [06:18] pivotraze: ok let me check it out, i have them open [06:19] ActionParsnip: What if you've maxed your ram at 2GB :D [06:19] tweak: Iight. [06:19] pivotraze: yeah I have that too [06:20] any help for my problem ... [06:20] hello i have simple problem connecting on server using sshfs here some info http://pastebin.com/RTUKiws3 [06:20] tweak, if you want to "upgrade" you system, get an SSD hard drive - the overall speedup of your box is amazing! [06:20] ActionParsnip: Heh. I have a 2007 laptop. Gateway MX8734. Maxed out at 2GB of ram, Realtek RTL8187 wireless card (my Belkin N1 still isn't working), 1.6GHz dual core processor. Ah, it's a beauty :) And sorry mukkugolla I really don't know what to say here. I haven't heard of that happening. [06:21] zykotick9: Not many people really want to spend money to upgrade :p [06:21] I know I dont [06:21] ... yet. [06:21] Only one thing I do not like about linux: Zune HD doesn't work with it :) [06:21] pivotraze: I'm on a 1.6Ghz single core sempron AM2 with 2Gb DDR2 RAM (maxed) and onboard nvidia 6150lE running well but is slowly dying [06:22] zykotick9: ill have to check that out. i do have a 1tb sata drive its pretty deecent [06:22] tweak, lol ;) SSD (high speed) is crazy [06:22] ActionParsnip: Mine is dying. RTL8187 used to be BEAUTIFUL back in 2009, 5 bar connection everywhere, fast... But now it gets 3bar at max, and spurts of 4bar amazingly... but is slow, and if I don't type "iwconfig wlan0 rate 5.5M fixed" at each boot (or put in rc.local) then it wont work. That's why I wan't my stupid Belki to work [06:23] Belkin* [06:23] I might have to NDiswrapper it as a last resort... which I don't wanna do. It's freaking supported in the ath9k driver! It should work *out of the box* .-. [06:23] pivotraze: add the command in /etc/rc.local above the exit 0 line, and it will run automagically at boot [06:24] tweak: pivotraze: I would personally not bother with generic "speed up Ubuntu" guides. I am generally skeptical of them and it sounds like your system should not be sluggish, i.e. something is wrong which should be fixed and will continue to be your bottleneck even if you would normally gain a little from the small generic tweaks. [06:24] ActionParsnip: Yeah, I usually do. Just been to focused on my Belkin card to care yet. :) I want it to work cause it is wireless n over wireless bg [06:25] Jordan_U: I agree. But it doesn't hurt to help. It does effect my system and make it better on ubuntu. But without something on 4GB ram 3GHz processor... it should not be slow. ever. anytime. even with windows *snickers* [06:25] Jordan_U: yeah if i could figure out why it was slow ;p [06:25] anyone have an idea [06:25] tweak: When was Ubuntu (11.10?) installed last? [06:25] was it a fresh install from 11.04 or an actual upgrade? [06:25] pivotraze: I've noticed that dash's menu blurring makes dash feel sluggish [06:25] pivotraze: maybe a month? yeah fressh install [06:26] : hello i have simple problem connecting on server using sshfs here some info http://pastebin.com/RTUKiws3 [06:26] tntc: That's odd. It works great for me. :) [06:26] when I disabled the blur via Compizconfigsettingsmanager, it worked fine. [06:26] tweak: Huh. I am lost as for the reason why it is so bad. [06:26] pivotraze: well, this was with a generic intel card. The 945 or something? === Logan_ is now known as Sleeping [06:26] when I use my nvidia card on my desktop, it's fine. [06:26] hello all [06:26] tntc: I have The Intel 945gm (which is actually called the Intel GMA 950 but honest mistakes). It works great (oddly) [06:26] hi basilic [06:26] this morning I have lost the DNS resolution [06:27] basilic: Network Manager -> Change the DNS servers on eth0 or wlan0 (or whatever ur connection is called) to 8.8.8.8 as primary and 8.8.4.4 as secondary. :) [06:27] Should work fine [06:27] which reminds me... [06:27] I have try to ping google, without sucess, I have take the IP by an other computer and I can ping, I write the IP in firefox and it's work... [06:28] basilic: do what I said, and it should work fine. Usually fixes dns problems for me. [06:28] pivotraze: nevermind. it's the one integrated with my core i7. not sure what model that is. [06:29] tntc: Ah. That's even odder. It probably has one of the Intel HD graphics cards... which are way better than the intel gma 950... [06:29] pivotraze: Jordan_U: ActionParsnip: ok guys thanks for the tips at least :) [06:29] tweak: Sorry we (i?) couldn't help! :) Tried my hardest [06:29] basilic: manually set DNS in network manager, set the interface to DHCP address only and set the DNS server to: 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4 [06:29] pivotraze: no worries. maybe i check my log files for errors [06:29] tweak: You're welcome. [06:29] pivotraze: I'm not sure how that blur works though. isn't it also there and active in unity 2d? [06:30] tweak: yeah. And take a good look at Xorg.0.log :) [06:30] I don't have the network manager [06:30] tntc: I don't think it is in Unity 2d, correct me if I am wrong. It does use Compiz tho (as you found through ccsm) [06:30] Or I'm no realy weak up... [06:30] basilic: what do u use? Wicd? [06:31] I use anything for the network, 2 ways, I have a DHCP and I don't have configure anything, or I have manualy configure [06:31] Everyone: You know what I miss from when I was on Arch? netcfg. [06:32] basilic: Can you get access to the router? If so, change it in there. It should roughly do the saem [06:32] same [06:32] the router if the internet acess box I can change any thing in this, and the other computer don't have any problem [06:35] welp, I'm off to bed (after testing wow haha) nite all!

[06:39] i have recently installed ubuntu....today,just trying to navigate it [06:39] yes but encountered problems after install [06:40] betanick^ [06:40] am familiar with win7,but this is completely new to me [06:41] clyde: what are you trying to achieve? [06:41] how can I format a usb with ext4, disabling journaling? [06:41] clyde: "channel for beginners?" - this channel or google [06:41] how do you get gnome extensions working [06:41] clyde: what are you trying to accomplish? [06:41] chromaticwt: ext4 is journalized. if you don't want a journal use ext2 [06:41] DoctorTruth: any error msgs? === jeremy_ is now known as Guest77520 [06:42] as i understand it so far,anti-virus isn't required with ubuntu? [06:42] I thought that ext4 could be specified without journaling though? [06:42] linuxuz3r: http://mygeekopinions.blogspot.com/2011/04/install-gnome-shell-extensions-expand.html [06:42] I think so, it was a few days ago when I tried it [06:42] !av | clyde [06:42] clyde: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [06:43] DoctorTruth: can you try it again and paste any error msgs? [06:43] ok [06:43] ok,thank you....i obviously have no clue as yet..:) [06:43] chromaticwt: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext4 it needs the journal [06:43] clyde: you'll learn [06:43] clyde: virtual machine? [06:44] i downloaded ubuntu for windows and just exploring ubuntu at present [06:45] not familiar with virtual machine,though [06:45] clyde: google virtual box [06:46] !virtualbox [06:46] virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'.

[06:58] sanbar, excellent question ;) [06:59] betanick - it seems to be the java runtime - jre-6u12-windows-i586-p.exe causing the issues [06:59] DoctorTruth: jre-6u12-windows-i586-p.exe = Java Runtime Environment [06:59] DoctorTruth: you shouldn't need wine to run a java app you just need java [06:59] DoctorTruth, consider using openjava... [07:00] DoctorTruth: you want the .bin file, not the exe [07:00] DoctorTruth, just install default-jre from software center [07:01] ok i'll try it [07:01] DoctorTruth: London Drugs photobook creation software is an exe? if so try to extract it [07:02] anything I can do with a machine that won't boot due to ext4 problem short of a livecd/usbstick?

I tried with some repositories but it offers me ver.7 and 9 and 10 beta [08:53] guest9876, give it a restart it doesn't effect whether its a usb or ps/2 now a days [08:53] guest9876: may be the problem is on the mouse, try unplug the mouse, then replug, then run "dmesg" to see if the kernel recognize your mouse [08:53] unkr: Yes, but how do I restart it? [08:53] PhanTasam: http://ppa.launchpad.net/mozillateam/firefox-stable/ubuntu [08:54] PhanTasam, if you are specific about the 8 version you can also download it from mozzila.org site download the ubuntu version [08:54] unkr: i use the command mentioned in README that is in my home dir after unmounting [08:54] ecryptfs-mount-private [08:54] and it mounts it again fine [08:54] guest9876, do sudo shutdown -r now [08:54] The pointer moves fine, but there is a document (picked up by drag-drop you know) stuck to the pointer. [08:55] meskalito, okk [08:55] @ farrukhjon TYVM [08:56] unkr: That will restart the whole system, right? [08:56] meskalito, i dont the reason why its happening but i can suggest you to put that mount-private command into the script and put that script into the cron.hourly what it will do it will mount it regularly [08:56] PhanTasam: you are welcome! [08:57] guest9876: yaa even logout will also work in your case i think [08:57] unkr: I'd rather not restart before I save my work... Hence I just want to restart the mouse :-) [08:57] unkr: lol, once per hour? [08:57] nice... [08:57] i work in netbeans, it unmounts [08:58] then i have 40 minutes to go eat / drink tea until it remounts [08:58] great [08:58] meskalito, no in that you can also set the time if you want that to be in every 10- 15 min or so [08:59] meskalito, time limits depends totally upon you [08:59] Wow I keep getting "Battery Critically Low" warning massages when my battery icon is showing of half left and the time remaining read out is jumping between 11minutes to 1:09 to 33minutes. [08:59] unkr: well that totally sucks [08:59] i won't be able to work like that [08:59] Does anyone know if this is a commonly know issue in 11.10? [09:00] meskalito, i know but if you can't give the logs to me its the best suggestion i can give it to you [09:00] unkr: there is nothing in logs regarding unmounts [09:01] ifw [09:01] computer_, no it is know a common issue may be you should check your battery. [09:01] hello [09:01] meskalito, okk [09:02] i want to use error.log file of ubuntu pc ,in my windows pc..how should i do that [09:02] Also I am getting the mouse ceasing on me sometimes just after booting [09:03] dck_: (1) define 'use'; (2) define 'error.log' [09:03] Stanley00: I get an output from dmesg. How do I know if the kernel recognizes the mouse? [09:04] That's interesting unkr it dosen't happen with 11.04 or any other distro or version of Linux I try [09:04] dck_, there is an event viewer section in window go for that [09:04] In /var/www/link/intranet/completed_images if i do ls -all I have: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 2010-07-27 09:39 NEWcompleted -> /home/NEWcompleted . How do I replicate that? do i do ln -s from the /home or the completed, and do i make the dir's first? can't get it to work. [09:04] szal-theres an file named error.log ,which i want to acces from my another windows pc .. [09:05] dck_: created by what? [09:05] dck_: same pc or another? you are talking about /var/log/apache2/error.log? [09:05] guest9876: I dont know much about that, look at the time, it will say something like "device xxx is ..." [09:05] I am getting the vibe that something about 11.10 does really not like something about my Presario CQ62 BIOS [09:06] dck_: easiest way from your windows-pc "ssh ubuntu-pc" and then "less /var/log/apache2/error.log" [09:06] dck_: use putty for ssh [09:06] guest9876: it depends on your exp... [09:06] szal-i have install evergreen name server edition software and thus it has been created at that time,at location /var/log/apache2/error.log? [09:06] iceroot-i am really sorry but didnt gt u [09:06] !ssh | dck_ [09:06] dck_: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) [09:07] what's the best way to ensure privacy with ubuntu?.....i've used tor with windows,but in irc for example almost all servers will reject a tor connection or open proxy [09:07] dck_: install "putty" on windows and use ssh to connect [09:07] guest9876: on my case, it said "[ 2753.237206] input: USB OPTICAL MOUSE as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:03.0/usb2/2-1/2-1:1.0/input/input13" when plug y USB mouse [09:07] iceroot ok [09:07] Is there handy little software apps for updating one's BIOS from the Ubuntu desktop like there is in Windows nowadays? [09:08] Stanley00: The output is very long... [09:08] Stanley00: I was hoping there was a way to just restart the mouse module or something from the terminal, without restarting the computer... [09:08] cattune: Both tor & ultrasurf works well with Ubuntu [09:08] guest9876: yes, just look at some lines at the end... [09:09] computer_: 1. never update a bios by using software on the os, 2. use a freedos-usb stick and use the tool from the manufactor for updating the bios [09:09] guest9876: you cant use your mouse any more? I think you should save your work, then reboot your system [09:09] Sure iceroot thought that might me the case [09:10] cattune: To use ultrasurf , u need to have wine & required dlls & for Tor u need to have vidalia Or you can also download JAVA application JAP, Jondofox [09:10] kanhiya: thank you...do you find irc channels reject the tor setup? [09:11] cattune: I never used IRC with TOR running [09:11] not that i'm doin anything nasty,but i hate the idea of being tracked..:) [09:11] Still seems a bit of a feature gap though as every mobo OEM that I have come across in the last five years has an app to update there BIOS from Windows [09:12] computer_: its stupid to update the bios within the os [09:12] Stanley00: Well, I can't save my work, cause my keyboard is not working either... Ctrl-Alt-Del works and I get the prompt to Restart/Hybernate etc, but nothing else works... (It's on another computer than the one I'm typing from now.) [09:12] computer_: so luckily there is no such stupid thing for ubuntu [09:12] tor is notannoymous [09:12] cattune: You can apply tor proxy setting in the IRC field or may be IRC blocked Tor proxies [09:13] hmm, if that is the case iceroot, I wonder why they are all doing it. [09:13] computer_: new bios updates are done inside the bios by putting a fat-stick in the pc and tell the bios to search on thr swtick for an update [09:13] computer_: because all are doing it it is good? [09:14] RaTTuS|BIG: Yes, not completely [09:14] No defiantly not but if it was such a bad idea I wonder why they are all doing it from Windows [09:14] kanhiya: i had it setup using a tor proxy,works fine,but is rejected by almost every irc server [09:15] kanhiya - and you have to be a bit more careful with secure sites - as you have little idea what the proxies are doing ... .. anyhoo back on topic [09:15] * computer_ is looking around for a good guide on setting up a Free DOS USB stick [09:15] guest9876: hmm, look like you have to lose some of your work. Sorry, but that's all I can say now. [09:15] computer_: because windows-users are "stupid" and dont like "hard" things, they want it easy, doesnt matter if it will break the whole system [09:15] usually on the left side from nautilus all the devices are listed. This isnt the case on my machine. There are just the usual folders like "Downloads" "Music"... How do I mount all the other HDDs? [09:15] Stanley00: OK. Thanks for trying. [09:16] http://goebelmeier.de/bootstick/ [09:16] guest9876: np [09:16] Yes iceroot I must say I have often wondered if the update app halts all BIOS communication while the flashing is taking place/ [09:17] computer_: and what about when the os is crashing? [09:17] computer_: and the update fails? and so on and so on [09:17] RaTTuS|BIG: One should know what he is doing, if computer is virus free & one verify security seal than there is no problem [09:18] Yes that could get very ouchy especially on windblows [09:18] iceroot-in putty is giving askinig me for port .n idont knew wat it is...plz help me [09:18] computer_: so as i said, its a stupid idea wo flash the bios from a complete os and yes most people are doing it [09:18] RaTTuS|BIG: no need to anonymize [09:18] kanhiya - yes - but thesedays people are too complacent ;-p [09:18] dck_: 22 [09:18] * RaTTuS|BIG goes for coffee [09:18] iceroot-but then its not connecting [09:18] Hello there! I have an issue with Firefox in Ubuntu. The browser is started at system startup and a web application is started in the browser. Pages get changed every 15s. After 10 minutes of normal runing the browser hangs. If I move the mouse, the application continues working o.k. Do some of you have a clue what's going on? [09:18] dck_: because its the default port you dont have to set that port [09:18] dck_: sudo apt-get install openssh-server on the ubuntu-machine [09:18] There is always risks when flashing a live system I guess [09:19] dck_: only the server-edition has ssh-server installed by default, in all other cases you have to install it by hand with the command i posted [09:19] Here is my fstab: http://pastie.org/pastes/2876873/text?key=bzvp6smkczaij13ily3e0a [09:19] I suppose the key is to eliminate as many risks as possible [09:19] developer-si - is there a screen saver running [09:19] computer_: correct [09:19] iceroot i have server edition only [09:19] All the other HDDs arent there and I dont know why... [09:19] dck_: then ssh should already be installed [09:20] RaTTuS|BIG no, the screen saver is disabled. [09:20] dck_: can you ping the ubuntu-pc from windows? [09:20] yes [09:20] dasdaas [09:20] iceroot-yes [09:20] kako be? [09:20] top be [09:20] dobar si ? [09:20] super [09:20] dck_: so then ssh-connection on port 22 should work [09:20] pisi ja kec u kec [09:20] Actually the browser hangs after 10 minutes only once ... when I move the mouse after hanging, application works fine and it nomore hangs.

How do I replicate that? do i do ln -s from the /home or the completed, and do i make the dir's first? can't get it to work. [09:28] kanhiya: a lightweight window manager, face it gnome is heavy, ubuntu is one of the heaviest linuxes out there [09:28] dck_: normally putty should ask if you want to add that hostkey [09:28] Oh an I also have to press my lappy's wireless button about 20 times on average ti get it to respond [09:28] AdvoWork: 1. never use 777 specially on /var/www [09:28] iceroot..i click yes , n now its running,thankx [09:28] dck_: great, now you can use the shell from your ubuntu-pc and e.g. have a look at the logfile you needed [09:29] dck_: i advice you to read up on shared keys dont use pass login :) [09:29] proxx-i didnt get u,plz explain it [09:29] proxx: he is just using it in his lan, i guess shared keys is an overkill for him and not really needed in that case [09:30] proxx: I like ubuntu mainly beacuse of its unity [09:30] iceroot: true nevertheless, its good pratice isnt it :) [09:30] proxx: It is providing good looks to my laptop [09:31] proxx: UBuntu 11.10 also uses light dm isn't it? [09:31] kanhiya: then deal with it , you could disable additional services, such as cups if u dont use it [09:31] proxx: it is but sometimes its not good to give a new user to much informations (but i aggree using keys is much better) [09:31] iceroot, and for any folders within also? [09:31] iceroot: we are on the same level :) [09:31] kanhiya: for speedup your system, buy a ssd, much more benefit then configure your system to death [09:32] AdvoWork: if someone is using 777 its always wrong, never use 777 [09:32] proxx: ok :) [09:32] when i click startup application , only gnome login sound appear [09:32] iceroot ,how do i copy text in that editior [09:32] dck_: what editor? [09:32] yes [09:32] iceroot: Solid state Drive, u mean :) [09:32] kanhiya: yes [09:33] dck_: just mark the text with your mouse [09:33] kanhiya: search google for editing other services, as icerot pointed out sdd is a great way :) [09:33] dck_: it will automaticly copied, right click will paste it [09:33] iceroot: this option is not available [09:33] :( [09:34] BY the way thanks to all Linux Community [09:34] I'm trying to setup ubuntu so, that it keeps itself connected to the Internet by a mobile broadband usb device: I wrote a shell script that checks whether the system is connected with nm-online, and on a nonzero exit status, enables wwan, and then ups the connection. However when running it as a cron job, i get an error regardless of the cron being the (super)users cron. Any ideas? [09:35] iceroot ,now can i copy dat file only n paste it in my windows drive [09:36] nmcli will give a "Error: Connection activation failed." if the script is ran by root, if it's run by a user's cron, it has the same error with a "Not authorized to control networking." appended at the end. [09:37] if i run the nmcli commands in a normal terminal as a normal or super user, the connection gets established fine. [09:37] dck_: could you clearify your question, as i might be able to answer it === massimo is now known as Guest88786 [09:38] dck_: Have a log at winscp, you could copy the file to windows [09:38] deej1976: good software :) [09:38] how can I change LANG permanently?

[11:03] sure [11:03] New0: short answer: no [11:03] deej1976: yes on NTFS FileSystem [11:03] other then wubi. not possible [11:04] I do not recommend installing Ubuntu on an NTFS partition. [11:04] ...even if you could. [11:04] <|Long|> good morning folks, what is the cmd to flush dns? [11:05] so what r u suggest me? ( i need to connect it to windows at future time) [11:05] New0: I'd go with dr_willis, look at the WUBI install option [11:05] New0: define 'connect it to windows' [11:05] deej1976: no tnx. hate WUBI [11:05] New, you can create a Linux partition. [11:05] New0: If you install Ubuntu on ext4, ubuntu will be able to mount NTFS partitions [11:06] Ubuntu can read NTFS and ext partitions. [11:06] szal: well, so i can copy/paste from/to between 2 PCs [11:06] ok, i think it is the equinox one " http://ppa.launchpad.net/tiheum/equinox/ubuntu" what to do? [11:06] What dee said. [11:06] 2 different pcs. use samba... [11:06] and/or rdp [11:06] deej1976: right, so all i have to do is. sda1 (ext4) sda2 (ntfs)? [11:06] What dr_willis said. [11:06] Hey all! I have a problem with Ubuntu 11.04. We set to startup System Monitor and Firefox on logon. Those programs show dynamic content (the contet just gets refreshed all the time). So after 10 minutes of normal runing everything seems to freeze. We have to move the mouse or somehow wake the system and then everything goes fine and never stops again. What's going on? [11:07] i think the goal is not clear here. [11:07] deej1976: yes? [11:07] Learner: Delete it and re-add if they have an 11.10 ppa. [11:07] New0, I think you want to have Windows and Ubuntu in the same computer and exchange files between OSs? [11:08] also how much space? (for /root sd1) [11:08] Hi [11:08] New0: Probably the otherway round, install Windows(sda1) leaving space for Ubuntu (sda2(/),sda3(swap)) [11:08] Ramon: well, not really [11:09] how can download audio of mms video link? [11:09] is there any way? [11:09] the video is large file/ [11:10] soltani: streamtuner or streamripper, or vlc [11:10] deej1976: well i brother doesn't want any windows on it. (Win or Lin) so only ubuntu will be install on it. but he want to be able to cpy /pst from/to windows (pc1) ubuntu (pc2) [11:10] New0: You don't need an NTFS partition on Linux [11:10] dr_willis, vlc and .. can downlaod videos.. [11:10] soltani: You'd still have to download the whole file, then strip the audio from it. [11:10] hey mysql autocomplemtation?how i install ubuntu [11:10] new0 theres no needs for any ntfs if its not going to have windows on it [11:11] Ramon, but the video is large! [11:11] is there any way? [11:11] dr_willis: no windows OS on it (laptop) [11:11] New0: In that case, use Samba as suggested, or FTP. [11:11] New0: use samba or ssh to get files to/from other pcs [11:12] forget ftp ;) [11:12] Soltani: I don't think so. If it's a file, you have to get the whole file. There's no way to just get certain pieces of the file without downloading the whole thing. [11:13] dr_willis: Why? [11:13] ftp is not a good solution these days.. and worth avoiding [11:14] Ramon, it is mms link,we can watch it,is there anyway to download audio of it e.g. conevert it to a domain and then download it... [11:14] winscp and ssh easier to setup [11:14] Ramon: sudo apt-get install openssh-server, instant sftp server [11:14] I've seen it being unreliable... [11:14] some day google for 'ftp must die' for a good read [11:14] i need mysql autocomplemantation.press tab in mysql terminal.some one know it? [11:14] LOL [11:14] yeaa i was working with samba. which was dificult for me. and my brother doesn't know s... about ubuntu and sure about samba. and i want to make it simple for him. so this is why i want ntfs as maybe secondery drive! is that ok.? or u still seggest me samaba? [11:15] soltani: Sorry, I don't know another way. [11:15] New0: samba or ssh [11:15] Ramon, :thanks [11:16] I'm connected to a Mac via smb but it's not (afaik) authenticating at all (logging on via guest). Unforunately that means I have no write access.... how do I force it to auth? [11:16] New0: for the server mechine you do not, not not, need ntfs on it at all.. it can share ext2/3/4 to a windows machine on the lan. a ntfs may in fact be HARDER to share [11:16] deej1976: ok tnx for all of your help. i will do that. and btw how much ext4 space for OS? GB [11:16] New0: I'm sure you can mount a remote samba drive as an additional drive and just use a file manager program to transfer files between computers/drives. [11:16] !info samba-doc [11:16] now , Is it possible to move a file to my domain then I download it from my domain ..because I can download from my domain fast [11:16] samba-doc (source: samba): Samba documentation.

[11:17] dr_willis: i may know what u talking about. since i have prob with it before. but didn't know that's the issue [11:17] soltani: how is it being accessed? scp can copy from pc2 to pc3, via a command from pc1 ;) [11:18] deej1976: so 10GB for / OS is good? [11:18] anybody knows if there is a ppa with the latest intel drivers? [11:18] New0: / (sda1-10Gb), swap (sda2-2Gb), /home (sda3-rest) [11:19] what are swap for deej1976 ? [11:19] i have filled up a 10gb / befor. i make mine 20gb these days [11:19] !swap [11:19] swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [11:19] hello, im trying to install ubuntu but i have an x mark beside "has at least 4.5 available" drive space [11:20] connected to internet and plugged into source have checkmark [11:20] can someone please help? [11:20] swap should be 2x RAM. [11:20] dr_willis: tnx [11:20] dr_willis, suppose that i have a ftp domain with 500mb capacity,I want to download a file from another site , is it possible to move the file to my ftp domain? [11:20] Ramon: Thats a really old calculation [11:20] KWOB:It means yoou don't have enought free space. [11:20] KWOB: so your question is "my hdd does not have enough free space for an installation of ubuntu"? [11:21] Ramon: it's no longer valid. I have 8gb RAM and basically have never used swap... I have seen no difference between having 512mb swap and 4gbs swap [11:21] Deej:Is there a new one? [11:21] which is surprising because my hdd should have enough space [11:21] Ramon: haven't seen one, I usually got for equally to ram [11:21] KWOB: resize the partition to have more then 4.5GB or use the alternate/minimal-cd and select only the stuff you want to install to save some space [11:22] so... (sda1-10GB sda2 -not ext4 but SWAP? [11:22] big swap is useful only if you use resource hogging progs like image editing or video thing [11:22] New0: yes [11:22] tnx [11:22] swap it's like a filessystem? [11:22] KWOB: the 4.5GB are not the space of your hdd, its the space of one partition on your hdd which you selected to install ubuntu on it [11:22] KWOB: is this "free space" allocated by any other operating system [11:22] and (rest- is ? ext4 too? [11:22] Does anybody know how you get JSLint to work on the command line? [11:23] http://www.javascriptlint.com/docs/running_from_the_command_line.htm [11:23] New0: Go with what deej said, about 2GB for swap. [11:23] It says here you should be able to execute jsl ont he command lin [11:23] New0: yes [11:23] but the download does not contain that executable [11:23] Ramon: well already did. but he also said (rest-is it ext4?) [11:23] deej1976: hoo tnx [11:23] big swap used for hibernate [11:23] New0: I normally allocate the rfest of the free space to /home. [11:24] Yes. [11:24] New0: you can just tell the installer to use the whole hd. and let it partition it as it wants [11:24] Ramon: what? [11:24] New0: How much ram? [11:24] rfest? [11:24] Hey guys! Is it possible that a PC with Ubuntu 11.04 connected to a display through HDMI port freezes after 10 minutes? Actually the display freezes and one has to move a mouse or press a key on the keyboard to refresh the display. That's what's happening with our configuration. Has anyone encountered that yet or has a solution? [11:24] *rest [11:24] dr_willis, Please help me to work with scp [11:24] soltani: what about it? [11:24] 2GB or 4GB ram [11:24] developer-si: maybe its the screensaver greying out the screen? [11:25] Ramon: what is rfest.... /home? [11:25] developer: It maybe an issue with your screen saver? [11:25] happened to me while watching movies [11:25] ninucs: no, I'm sure the screen saver is disabled [11:25] New0: In your laptop? [11:25] New0: Sorry, I meant the rest for /home [11:25] dr_willis, move a file from http addrress to my ftp address [11:25] soltani: scp is for ssh accessing. not http or ftp. [11:25] deej1976: hp pavilion dv4 [11:26] dr_willis, but how can do that? [11:26] New0: doesn't mean anything, how much ram and hd? [11:26] if theres not a ssh server goinng.. you dont use ssh/scp soltani [11:27] soltani: wget and wput perhaps. [11:27] dr_willis, can you send me a link that expained about ssh ? i don't know what it is? [11:27] !ssh [11:27] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage.

[12:16] skilz: that's a different "desktop manager" not greeter [12:17] skilz: apt-cache search -n lightdm will list you the greeter's available in the repositories for lightdbm [12:18] what about gdm?

[13:15] now i cant load unity on my desktop [13:15] sc-vaio, Unity requires the largedesktop feature from desktop wall, or desktop cube, as well as the Unity plugin. [13:15] rexter1? [13:16] so? [13:16] hello, how do you disable automatic startup for apache-prefork?

I have installed Gnome 3 and it looks like the classic version. I guess this is because of the drivers?

[13:24] drake1: better to use sysv-rc-conf [13:24] hiyas [13:24] llutz: what options? [13:24] ssk_the_gr8, Without quotes, of courde. :D [13:24] course, even. [13:24] sc-vaio: no but we may figure it out, or someone else may know the answer as we talk about it. [13:25] llutz: i've just said: update-rc.d -f apache2 remove which seems to work [13:25] sc-vaio, Unity requires compiz, can't work without it. [13:25] drake1: yes, until next apache2 update [13:26] llutz: ok [13:26] drake1: man update-rc.d tells you why [13:26] sc-vaio: go back into ccsm, turn on desktop wall, and the Unity plugin.

[13:31] bonjour [13:31] Yes, it will, but I had problems with Unity on that machine. The one I'm on now doesn't have the problem [13:32] hi Sidewinder1 [13:32] xruud if you speak dutch, wij zitten ook op #ubuntu-nl [13:32] if you say: update-rc.d ... stop, for all run levels, does an update reenable automatic startup?

Say to control Web server, mysql, virtual servers etc. [13:34] llutz: yeah, that's what i just read [13:35] drake1: "remove" just removes the startlinks and some updates will recreate them. so either set all runlevels to Kxx-apache2 or just don't use update-rc.d for this [13:35] llutz: OK.

[13:44] unkr, I believe you install gnome (sudo apt-get install gnome) and then you can select it from the login menu after a reboot. [13:44] !nounity | unkr [13:44] unkr: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [13:45] nixmaniack: I asked you what CPU you have there [13:45] codazoda, can i install gnome 3 ??? [13:46] szal, you mean cpu model? Core i7? [13:46] szal : thank you for your help :) ... have a nice day! :) [13:46] unkr: Actually, the ubottu response was more complete than mine. I'm not sure about gnome 3.

[13:46] anyway I can make gnome shell a bit snappier on multiple monitors on a cheap ass nvidia? [13:47] nixmaniack: does that thing have any additional cores that are disabled by default? [13:47] Double-click and drag is too fast for me in 11.10. I "miss" a lot of the time. Any thoughts? [13:47] szal: where i can get the info about various graphical version ???

[13:59] apt-get upgrade tries to update lots of stuff [13:59] munzxttt: lol [13:59] !lts | munzxttt [13:59] munzxttt: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server.

[15:29] i mean i get it as a user who uses ubuntu as is on desktop, it makes sense. but for me its just fucking confusing [15:29] 10.04 is nice, you do not need to upgrade if you do not have to :D [15:29] oh man, dont let me quote you ;) [15:29] Paganini: you dont need to reinstall the whole OS just to get what you want. install alterturnative DE's and WM's will get you what you need and want. [15:29] "this is how it is. now shut up." [15:29] ;) [15:30] :)) [15:30] This channel has been filled with people ranting since unity came out.. and this is not the place for it. [15:30] just kidding :D [15:30] do not take it seriously [15:30] how do you get png files to preview in folders in 11.10? [15:30] I gave you alternatives if you want the classic style menu. I do think one shuld hae been included by default. [15:30] oh [15:30] okay [15:30] or instgall some dock like i do and use its menu features. [15:31] so remember this, for the future to get around people like me who complain, just say "people complained, they wont change it, we all have to deal with it." [15:31] that wouldve made sense to me ;) [15:31] Tobsn: take it to #ubuntu-offtopic if you want to discuss the hows and whys and wheres... [15:31] ah well [15:31] nevermind [15:31] :D [15:31] if you have any other support questions.. [15:31] how do you get png files to preview in folders in 11.10? [15:31] people cant comprehend the idea that this is support i guess.. [15:31] install gnome-panel, then you can have the classic desktop [15:32] answered every qhestion he had... [15:32] can mine be answered? [15:32] how do you get png files to preview in folders in 11.10? [15:33] in folders means wht exactly? [15:33] so you see a thubnail preview of the file [15:33] 99% of the timne im ssh'd in :) so i rarely use the desktop lately, [15:33] I used to use compiz, but I don't want to install on 11.10 as it breaks things [15:34] compiz has not broken anything here.. and thats not in charge of png previews in the file manager as far as i know. [15:34] it's an option in compiz I don't know where else to enable it which is why I'm asking [15:34] Linux`sup: How do you mean it breaks things? My 11.10 install got broken recently [15:34] my .png images here show previews... [15:34] and this vnc session is not using compiz. [15:34] im looking for a new netbook compatible with ubuntu mainly office job... emails, docs, media... not too rough use any recommendations? [15:34] the png thing in compiz is for compiz. :) not the file manager previews [15:34] compiz changes hidden things based upon settings [15:35] it's best not to use compiz for now till it's fixed [15:35] hi to all. I don't know why, but suddenly I can no more mount USB devices in read/write mode. They are just mount in read-only mode. How to mount EACH DEVICE by default in read-write mode? Thanks [15:35] ok well mine do not load automatically [15:35] file manager -> edit -> preferances -> preview perhaps... [15:35] but I guess there's no answer at this time from anyone alive in here [15:35] so I'll try again later [15:35] thanks [15:36] theres an always setting... [15:36] but if you dont want to look.. guess i will be off... [15:38] <_calum> Hi, I am looking for a faster alternative to Windows 7 backup, I like clonezilla but it does not image to multiple dvds.

[15:55] nu_dorm it seems my solution was too unconventional, maybe someone else can help [15:55] Hi, where should I do package pinning? Apt in Ubuntu 11.10 is ignoring /etc/apt/preferences and /etc/apt/preferences.d/*. I know it because I gave invalid options to that file at one point and didn't receive any error messages (I received with other computer which runs Debian). [15:56] Hi, i want to format a partition so that the inode-count is quite high. I use mkfs.ext3 and I know the parameters of interest are -i and -I. can anyone help me figure out how to use them correctly? [15:56] !pinning [15:56] pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [15:56] deej1976: That doesn't work, /etc/apt/preferences is ignored by apt [15:57] newnoise: first of all: don't touch -I unless you have a very good reason to do so (if you don't know, you probably don't :-) [15:58] Mkaysi: Is the documentation out of date? [15:58] sipior: ok. I wont ;) [15:58] deej1976: That documentation works with Debian, but with Ubuntu that file is just ignored. I think that there might be a bug [15:58] *but not with Ubuntu [15:58] newnoise: do you really expect inode count to be an issue with this filesystem? what sort of average file sizes are you expecting?

[16:01] sipior: well, Im not too sure. The partition was created by some guided server setup [16:01] newnoise: 4096 is most likely a good value for -i if you expect to fill the disk up with such small files. obviously, don't specify a value smaller than the block size :-) [16:01] how to mount encrypted home on other systems? [16:02] where is ubuntu default wallpaper located in oneiric?? [16:02] sipior: ok. so I do mkfs.ext3 -i 4096 /dev/md4, right? [16:02] newnoise: and any other options, right [16:03] sipior: ok thanks. would I need any other options? [16:03] newnoise: i like to set the reserved blocks percentage to 0% or 1%. maybe you want to adjust the "run fsck by" time, etc. [16:03] I tried to install an icon theme on my laptop (11.04).

[16:25] lachfome: don't ask too quickly or it'll be considered spamming. [16:25] mordof: by default, ubuntu's multi-language keyboard support is set on a per-window basis, so that's why it's sometimes different between windows. as to why it's changing at all, check to see what hotkeys you have enabled for changing layouts [16:25] also refresh rate is 0.0 all the time which obviously sucks [16:26] brjannc: would upgrading to 11.10 from 11.04 add new hotkeys? i have it set as ctrl+space (which I *know* i'm not hitting) [16:26] brjannc: but it's changing it when i switch window focus, like.. i'll leave the window from typing in english.. i go back, and it's in a different language [16:26] !info fonts-arabeyes | lachfome: [16:26] lachfome:: fonts-arabeyes (source: fonts-arabeyes): Arabeyes GPL TrueType Arabic fonts.

[16:50] Hello [16:50] had a question referencing installing ubuntu on a 64 bit system. i've followed all the instructions and put it on a usb drive and went to try it out and it gets to the loading screen (horrible resolution) and just sits there for a while. tried again and this time moves to high resolution, but still sits there forever. switches back and forth between the two each time i try to install [16:51] How can I get the live cd to a usb flash drive? I am not using a debian based distro. [16:51] jsick3: oh, it might; I've never dealt with ubuntu on a mac platform. sorry :\ [16:51] hey AlanJ i figured out the solution for this problem with my ubuntu 11.04 64bit [16:51] Hi -- in 11.10, when I have two users logged in (say me and Guest), System CPU usage goes crazy -- all in Xorg. Is this normal or a bug? [16:52] Hi -- in 11.10, when I have two users logged in (say me and Guest), System CPU usage goes crazy -- all in Xorg. Is this normal or a bug? [16:52] yeah joe... any hints? [16:52] hi all. new to ubuntu and very amature but need help! trying to uninstall libav so i can install devede but im unable to locate the files to delete. can anyone help or advise?? [16:52] pyther: the 11.10 iso? cat path/to/your.iso >/dev/sdX where /dev/sdX is your usb flashdrive [16:52] brjannc: that's okay. thanks anyway. [16:53] brjannc: i even tried the mac keybinding and it didn't work either [16:53] http://www.howtoforge.com/reverse-ssh-tunneling [16:53] brjannc: or i'm just doing everything at the wrong time [16:53] jonsaint: can you not just install devede using the software manager? it's in the repositories [16:54] llutz: ok thanks [16:54] jsick3: that's possible; cursory investigation suggests that grub is used as the bootloader on macs, just like with pcs [16:54] yeah JoeSatriani.. what did you figure out? [16:54] llutz: dd would work just as well, yes? [16:54] jsick3: when are you holding down shift? [16:54] brjannc, when i go to install devede it tells me i need to unistall a few libav files first but it allows me to ignore, but if i do ignore, will it conflict? [16:54] hello everyone [16:54] pyther: yes, dd would do to. All that won't work with older ubuntu-iso, they need to be hybrid-isos [16:55] brjannc: when i hear the mac boot noise/see the gray screen. [16:55] too [16:55] brjannc: i've also tried before that happens too [16:55] llutz: you wouldn't have to be familar with some of the boot parameters would you? [16:55] my netbook doesn't work anymore, it boots on a black screen since I disabled the proprietary AMD driver [16:55] jonsaint: generally speaking, if the package manager recommends something, follow its recommendation :) [16:55] I'm using Oneiric on a Eeepc 1015T [16:55] pyther: no [16:55] jsick3: gotcha. well, let me look around for a few seconds [16:56] hi all, is there a way to go back to the classic Ubuntu in 11.10 ? [16:56] llutz: ok, trying to add ubuntu to my multiple-distro bootable flash drive [16:56] Ive tried some key combinations, but nothing seems to work [16:56] hi i want o configure the environmental variables [16:56] !classic | sivang [16:56] sivang: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". For 11.10, see !notunity [16:56] pyther: that won't work this way [16:56] llutz: can't find the proper flags to tell the ubuntu scripts to look in a certian directory on the flash drive [16:56] anyone got rails to work on ubuntu 11 [16:56] !notunity | sivang [16:56] sivang: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [16:56] brjannc, so how can i uninstall then with this new ubuntu? where can i locate this software manager? [16:57] hi === hakim is now known as Hakim [16:57] can somebody tell me how to save podcast in Bansee player? Every time i have to type the playlist url.. [16:57] I am trying to find out if this program will run on ubuntu, all I have are two disc ISOs I mounted both and started to install with playonlinux and half way it wants disc2 but idk how to give it disc2, I had disc2 mounted, couldnt mount it the same place as disc1 because disc1 was being used by the setup.exe asking for disc2. any thoughts? [16:58] jonsaint: software center doesn't offer to do everything automatically for you? [16:58] had a question referencing installing ubuntu on a 64 bit system. i've followed all the instructions and put it on a usb drive and went to try it out and it gets to the loading screen (horrible resolution) and just sits there for a while. tried again and this time moves to high resolution, but still sits there forever. switches back and forth between the two each time i try to install [16:58] question: how can i change the default email client for 11.10 from thunderbird to alpine? [16:58] I am unable to install unbuntu inside windows why? [16:58] brjannc, went in software centre and generally typed in libav but nothing came up === tyler is now known as e75 [16:59] jonsaint: don't worry about libav; just try and install devede, and say yes if it asks if it's okay to remove some packages first. [16:59] question: how can i change the default email client for 11.10 from thunderbird to alpine? [16:59] jsick3: we can try and force grub to show itself by editing its config file [17:00] all sources found through google are sources of information for older versions of ubuntu [17:00] brjannc, ok il try it. cheers for the help. its all new to me! [17:00] e75: gnome-default-applications-properties [17:00] tyler: If possible, System Settings, System Info, Default Applications, Mail [17:01] e75: yeah well the new ubuntu interface was made by and for total morons.. makes using and supporting ubuntu a nightmare [17:01] jonsaint: no worries! in general, apt (the ubuntu behind-the-scenes package manager) is very good at dealing with conflicts all by itself; 99% of the time, you shouldn't have to do anything manually [17:01] nvz: thanks. i'll take a look into it [17:01] brjannc, thanks. il go and give it a try! [17:01] Hi all, can anyone tell me how to compile kernel modules from staging? I know how to compile external modules with module-assistent, but I haven't found a way yet to build a module from staging (in particular the usbip.ko module) [17:01] nvz: heh yeah. i don't switch over to kde because the kde network manager is a pain in the ass working with my pppoe account [17:02] hi. i need to press ctrl space twice to bring synapse. in gnome3/ubuntu 11.10. help === milind is now known as abys42 [17:02] e75: I've boycotted 11.10.. tried regular gnome and everything was horribly broken..

[17:03] nvz: so what? you're just stuck using an older release? using a different window manager? what choice did you have? [17:03] Looking for suggestions why curl http://localhost:9200 => curl: (6) Couldn't resolve host 'localhost'. 127.0.0.1 works. localhost in /etc/hosts. Can ping localhost. [17:04] brjannc: that doesn't seem to work either, lol :\ [17:04] e75: personally I like things ubuntu has to offer, but I am sticking with debian until they realize they can't release a 30,000+ package distro pulling in MAJOR VERSION upgrades of software suites like GNOME that are over 500 packages themselves on a TIME based schedule every 6mo [17:04] jsick3: hehe, no problem. okay, we should be able to force it to show a menu. what version of ubuntu are you using? [17:05] e75: I still use debian, and for anyone I install ubuntu for, I keep them on natty [17:05] brjannc: it's 11.10, booting into kubuntu if that matters [17:05] jsick3: ok, one sec [17:07] anyone know what the best verzion of ubuntu I can run on a Mac G5 with PPC and also where I can download it Canonical I guess stopped offically supporting it [17:07] e75: if you combined the 5 largest software companies in the world and used all their money profits aside, you'd be hard pressed to release anything worthwhile on the timeframe this distro works on.. most software companies take 2 years or more to press out a game much less an OS, none of which are the size, complexity, or used as productively as this is.. and still suck I might add.. heh.. so clearly when its ready makes more sense th [17:07] nvz: also, gnome-default-applcations-properties isn't found. hmm actually i remembered i setup a new router to handle pppoe. brb. switching to kde. yeah, right off hand i'd think it'd be a good idea to release ubuntu with several flavors: kde, gnome, conservative & stable, etc. but that'd be a bit of work. [17:08] jsick3: okay, run: gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub [17:08] nvz: are you referring to debian or ubuntu? [17:09] hey [17:09] brjannc: heh, well. this isn't my computer; it's a coworkers. he's not here and we need to access stuff on his machine. i can't seem to do anything as guest. that's why i'm trying to do this. [17:09] jsick3: Ohh. well, that limits our options somewhat ;) [17:09] brjannc: indeed :P [17:10] nvz: plus i'd think big gpl projects can push out software quicker since they can fork code legally. ahh, one of the many joys of freedom of knowledge and creativity [17:10] now, brb [17:10] hello [17:11] anyone have experience with rvm on ubuntu [17:11] e75: I'm saying that its no surprise to me that ubuntu 11.10 looks like its for special needs children and the fact that any other way of using it is horridly broken is no surprise to me because there is just no way in the reality of things, you could've assured all these changes worked in 6mo [17:11] Anyone know hot to change the keymap on Ubuntu 11.04 from the terminal?

[17:16] Oh, right, they're directories [17:17] Anyway, what do those color codings of ls command mean? [17:17] man-page didn't describe them [17:17] Hey, how to I get an app to appear in the Unity menu? [17:18] brjannc: i was thinking that too [17:18] JoeSatrian: i don't know of any in ubuntu repos, but i believe pcemu is an 8086 emulator (prolly sourceforge) [17:18] Midasx: I don't, sorry :( === rymate1234_away is now known as rymate1234 [17:19] I don't mean pin it to the side bar.

[18:00] FightOppression: just trying & find out is one way, but I guess the cd writer packages needs to be started first. After that, the other cd/dvd's can be used.

If not the OS asks for the application and needs to read it from that CD === Mud is now known as Guest92141 [18:01] FightOppression, or try booting form usb, so you have the cdwriter available [18:01] Othe than that, why not use a USB bootable version of Ubuntu?

[18:28] MeQuerSat: You can also use the bind option of mount [18:28] MeQuerSat: No problem.

You might be able to use LVM then, but again I don't have much personal knowledge of it :) I'm useless today apparently [18:34] haha, no problem :) [18:34] trism: is that flash direct from adobe? [18:34] Yud_Zroc: yes [18:35] brjannc, maybe you do know what's the best fs to choose if using disks for huge files [18:35] ? [18:35] MeQuerSat: ZFS and XFS are both good choices [18:35] trism: and for java, just remove all java from the package manager and install java from java.com? because the java thats installed is horribly outdated [18:36] MeQuerSat: XFS has been around longer, and is already integrated into the kernel, and has less iffy licensing questions than ZFS does :) But ZFS is obviously a much more advanced fs [18:36] How can I run a program in autostart, before gdm loads? [18:36] I had ZFS running great === rymate1234_away is now known as rymate1234 [18:37] but if I reinstalled OS, all settings were lost (and also all data) [18:37] :/ [18:37] Im trying to avoid that now [18:37] MeQuerSat: understandable [18:38] !boot | ironhalik [18:38] ironhalik: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [18:38] thx iceroot [18:39] BBL, stuff to do [18:39] how do I use deb files? [18:40] Yud_Zroc: I would generally not recommend that unless you have a good reason, both openjdk-6 and 7 are in the oneiric repos (but I don't even have java installed at the moment, so not the best person to ask) [18:40] MeQuerSat: If you do decide to go with XFS, oddly enough the MythTV wiki is a good place to look, as they have guides on what options, etc. to format your XFS partitions with [18:40] Explodingpiglets: normally you use "sudo apt-get install package" instead of locally deb-files but if you want to install a locally deb-file run "sudo dpkg -i debfile" or double click on it [18:41] !deb | Explodingpiglets [18:41] Explodingpiglets: deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility. [18:41] Explodingpiglets: Alternately: sudo dpkg -i filename.deb [18:41] MeQuerSat: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/XFS_Filesystem [18:41] ok thanks [18:42] Explodingpiglets: my fave.. 'sudo gdebi foo.deb' [18:42] :) [18:44] trism: i plan on doing java development and app development for android....would that be sufficient enough [18:44] under ubuntu lucid 64bit, if you have a cpu intensive task, e.g make -j8, while you do 'aptitude install something', the aptitude will not finish installing, instead it will pause forever [18:45] it's reproducible for me [18:45] when i update my nvidia driver on ubuntu 11.10 and restart the system it always freezes after about a minute after boot. i can still move the mouse but nothing else. anyone else encounter this? === OliveGreen is now known as SpenserWilde [18:45] xxiao: how can you say its taking forever? did you test it forever? [18:45] Hi all. [18:45] what is the ubuntu counterpart to an exe file? [18:46] Explodingpiglets: A file that has an ELF header [18:46] xxiao: check the nice-status, if there are different its normal [18:46] brjannc, thanks, Ive read it and ext4 seems to be a better alternative :) [18:46] iceroot: in computer term a 1 minute job takes 1 hour i will consider it's forever [18:46] MeQuerSat: sure thing [18:46] For some reason, my screen stays on when I'm idle. How do I get it to start the screensaver? [18:46] I am trying to delete an exe file but it will not let me [18:46] xxiao: try make on tty1 you will see the power of the cgroups-patch introduced with 2.6.38 [18:47] it says "permission denied [18:47] is systemd worth the try? [18:47] xxiao: buts its important that is is tty1-6 [18:47] iceroot: you mean i switch to ctrl-f1, then build from tehre? [18:47] Explodingpiglets: have you tried to CHOWN the file, or try to delete it 'as root'? [18:47] don't know that tweak, [18:47] xxiao: yes [18:47] Explodingpiglets: Is the file in a folder within /home/your-username or somewhere else? [18:48] iceroot: so the cgroup-work depends on tty, in that case xwindows is just one of them? [18:48] xxiao: linus called the cgroups-patch a killer-feature [18:48] xxiao: yes cgroups is grouped by ttys [18:48] iceroot: read that, though i did not need switch to tty to do that [18:48] I downloaded a linux version of teamviewer, but whenever I type teamviewer in terminal, it opens the windows one and my computer freezes [18:49] iceroot: it's a pity, that my machine are normally ssh-in,which is ptys [18:49] has anyone successfully updated their NVIDIA driver? [18:49] Does anyone know how I can change the default ALT-TAB behavior in 11.10 so it only cycles among applications in the current workspace? [18:51] hey what does ^M represent? a special character?

I wrote a script that parses the output of "lshw -xml" and obtains serial numbers and hardware information about computers, and report back to a database. I ran into a problem on a few models of Lenovo laptops, where the RAM doesn't list a serial number. Does anyone know of another command I might be able to run to obtain RAM serial numbers? [18:59] hello, I am running Ubuntu 11.10. Im trying to setup Windows file sharing so that I can transfer my media files via the network from windows to Linux. I installed samba and used the directions here: http://kimbriggs.com/computers/computer-notes/linux-notes/samba-setup-guide-ubuntu.file . However, anytime I try to login to my linux box from windows it is asking for a user/pass. Anyone know how to fix this so that it doesnt require a l [19:01] gwb: there are some network-manager- packages for different VPN systems like network-manager-pptp or network-manager-vpnc for cisco or network-manager-strongswan [19:01] I am having an issue with install on a Gateway laptop. Install hangs, as in the computer freezes up, every time. Suddenly, the mouse just won't move and there is no response from the keyboard or anything. It has done this at least five times now... [19:02] is anyone here using gnome-shell in ubuntu latest version, NOTICED a delay on group menu appearing each time a new window is created ? [19:02] I am installing from a usb drive, but have tried using the mini cd as well. With the cd, it goes so far and freezes up as well [19:02] K1rk: best bet is to open it up and look on the ram sticks, if lshw doesn't report it then it probably isn't there to report [19:03] I don't want to do that, AlanBell. We have approximately 800 computers to manage. [19:04] Nichola: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions might have something to help with the freezes [19:04] K1rk: why do you need the serial numbers? [19:05] anyone using gnome shell in ubuntu? [19:05] Running gnome-shell under keyboard shortcuts, specifically "Launch Terminal", it will not allow me to use CTRL+ALT+T (meaning) even though I press those Keys, it sets the shortcut as "ALT+T"... please help.. [19:05] I just installed Ubuntu but forgot my password, so I cant log in. However, I have chrooted to the Ubuntu partition using a Live Cd, what options do I have to reclaim my accounts control? [19:05] AlanBell: I have network-manager-vpnc installed but I cannot see anywhere to put the ipsec stuff [19:05] so, the brightness adjustments aren't working with 11.10 on the acer s3, is there any way I can debug this? poking around proc I don't recognize anything anymore, and all the old brightness tools are gone :-( [19:06] gwb: is it a cisco VPN you are connecting to? [19:06] AlanBell: so we can determine the "life" of our devices... like, if we swap ram between two computers we'd like to know where the stick has been, to track problems. [19:06] AlanBell: yes, I need to specific the "IPSec obfuscated secret" string, which I got from my company [19:06] AlanBell: This is for a ticketing system, where we are tying problems to hardware by serial number... [19:06] AlanBell: but I cannot see where to put it [19:07] hi [19:07] K1rk: I see. I expect that ram does not have a serial number to report electronically [19:07] anyone using gnome shell in ubuntu? [19:07] djzn: ya, works well [19:07] AlanBell: It does on the sticker on the memory, I did look. But I really need something electronically to distinguish the hardware. [19:07] HELP [19:07] pierce: [19:07] i have ubuntu 11, and config internet key is ok.. but the comand sudo service udev restart non autostar on start PC [19:07] pierce: i'm getting a delay on menu windows each time i open a window [19:07] Okay, looked at that but don't have a clue as to where to start... [19:08] what comand in ubuntu application autostart? [19:08] gwb: for a cisco vpn you will need gateway, username user password (might be a prefix and a hardware one time key pad thing) group name and group password [19:08] i'm italian.. non speak good inglesh [19:08] AlanBell: right. I have those and that's ok. It's the last bit I can't put in to NM [19:08] AlanBell: fwiw I can connect with the vpnc cli command no prob. [19:08] I just installed Ubuntu but forgot my password, so I cant log in. However, I have chrooted to the Ubuntu partition using a Live Cd, what options do I have to reclaim my accounts control? [19:09] nmvictor: you can just type "passwd " and change the password of that user [19:10] pierce: Thanks, but Wont i be prompted for the initial password? [19:10] pierce: which is what I forgot [19:10] nmvictor: not if you are root :-) [19:10] hi - im trying to work out how to run a custom script on tty1 instead of login. Ive changed /etc/init/tty1.conf's exec line to exec /usr/bin/myscript, but its just a blank screen with the cursor flashing ( the script works, is in the right place and is executable ) - any ideas? [19:10] pierce: thanksalot [19:10] gwb: sorry, I am not sure where that goes, I just have those fields I mentioned and a thingie on my keyring that I press a button on and it gives me a number to type in [19:10] pierce: how about a command to change the username? [19:11] Question - I'm trying to edit the source of a theme for gtk3. I have one last hurdle to cross. I'm editing the Zukitwo theme. In Nautilus when I highlight things on the left pane, I want the background to highlight a certain color. Does anybody know how I can do this or what coding I need to change?

[19:12] pierce: file, edit, etc [19:12] noobius: that's not an Ubuntu problem. It's a manufacturer problem. [19:12] yeah i've noticed [19:12] noobius: what gfx card [19:12] 8800m gts [19:12] should be fine........... [19:13] okay, this time it froze up right when it got to the purple desktop [19:13] Nvidia geforce 8800m gts 512m [19:13] pierce: sorry, but if i removed the user and added a new one, I bet I'll need a sudoers entry for the new user, which is what sounds complicated [19:13] thats an nvidia card....they develop drivers for linux [19:13] no mouse movement... [19:13] gwb: dunno if the strongswan plugin does it, that one is a bit more ipsec [19:14] djzn: super odd, like more than a one second delay? might be a video card thing [19:15] I am having a hard time connecting to a cisco vpn concentrator [19:15] Has anybody else here had a slight problem with Japanese fonts in Ubuntu (11.10)? [19:15] are you using ubuntus retricted drivers?

[19:46] david_ sos un putasoooooooo [19:46] Nostoc: windows first, because the windows installer will overwrite your MR boottloader and you will have to rework it to boot linux [19:46] Nostoc, gparted live cd [19:47] hellop [19:47] hello [19:47] s/MR/MBR [19:47] Nostoc: Windows first as small as you need the OS partition then install ubuntu and setup all partitions [19:47] alsuna dejat de alsarte [19:47] alsuna: ninucs: so gparted for partitioning on livedisk first, then windows install, then ubuntu install [19:47] can i give u a wiki link to what i aim for [19:47] Nostoc, install windows first create that partition with the windows cd do the rest during the ubuntu installation windows will be recognized and added to the boot menu [19:47] reachingperfecti: sure [19:48] hello Guest26405 [19:48] Nostoc, install windows first then ubuntu, pagefiles in linux are called swap files [19:48] ok, it seems the order isn't too important, I'll just use the windows disk first and its partitioning [19:48] Nostoc: would be an option. on the other hand, you can just leave up the disk space for formatting it with the installer later [19:48] ninucs: i'll do that, thanks for the info [19:48] ciao [19:48] :) [19:48] also, if I make my storage partition in ext3, can I access the files from windows? [19:48] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultiseatX [19:48] ciao [19:48] noob question I know [19:48] reachingperfecti, do you mean on a single pc or with clients connected to a main server?

[19:49] Nostoc, use gparted to set up all your partitions first , it makes for a faster cleaner install all around [19:49] reachingperfecti: that's different than thin clients. my apologies. I set up thin clients where each user had a specific processing unit, but the server does all of the work. Its similar, but multiseat is a bit different it seems. [19:49] Nostoc you can but you shouldn#t write to an ext3 from windows you could potentially damage it [19:49] please check my link , it describes what i aim for but i am on 11.10. [19:50] reachingperfecti, sorry never heard of it before [19:50] KHendrik: mostly I will be using linux to download torrents etc, and a shared entertainment center computer to play them on a TV [19:51] Khendrik: so is it fine to just read/copy files from an ext3 to a NTFS [19:51] nostoc, theres an ext2-driver for windows, it is able to access ext3 or ext4 filesystems, but without the journaling [19:51] why do you want to use ext3 anyway?

[19:52] K1rk: wow, down to the RAM serial numbers? That's an intense database! [19:52] reachingperfecti, you need to create it first but i#m not sure how [19:52] ninucs: my last ubuntu failed because I used ext2 [19:52] user00: Yes, we are hoping to track hardware as it moves through our network. For example when a technician swaps out bad memory, etc, we want to log and be able to run reports on those changes. [19:53] me badly stuck in that case , will xorg.conf exist in fedora ? [19:53] nostoc, it cannot fail just because you used ext2, ext2 is just more fragile than ext3 if it isn't used and maintainedcarefully [19:53] Nostoc, I would go with ext4 and use a ntsf partition for sharing don#t access linux from windows thats always dangerous [19:53] journaling makes reconstruction easier if you kill a system while disks are mounted, e.g. [19:53] reachingperfecti, give me a second [19:54] Hi all, is there a special chatroom for ubuntu server?

Heading over there. [19:55] nostoc, i would suggest you to use an exchange drive formatted in either ntfs or fat [19:56] makes things easier [19:56] geolr: i use server edtion too, but unfortunatly wont be able to help with that [19:56] Nostoc, np [19:56] ninucs: does it need to be an entire drive or is just a partition fine? [19:56] can anyone else anyone else access http://pyyaml.org/ ? [19:56] no it is not anywhere in the folder etc \x11 [19:57] or just me? [19:57] reachingperfecti, please read the 2nd answer ... [19:57] ninucs: also which is better FAT or NTFS if I am moving files back and forth between linux/windows XP (NTFS)? [19:57] nostoc, with drive i meant any media you would like, a hd partition or usb stick or whatever :D [19:57] asdf: downforeveryoneorjustme.com [19:58] asdf: its just you [19:58] the ntfs support is fine in ubuntu atm [19:58] ninucs: oh lol.... I never know, my friend who showed me the ropes has external hard drives everywhere, I'm just broke [19:58] geoffmcc, thank you [19:58] reachingperfecti, sorry i meant the first answer with the green checkmark [19:58] ninucs: alright, ntfs it is [19:59] fat32 has some limitations that obstruct it's use in recent systems, mainly it's limit for 4GB files [19:59] thanks man [19:59] Nostoc, you can access ntfs without a problem that used to be risky like 3-4 years ago but now its flawless [20:00] reachingperfecti, you#re welcome [20:00] will try , i was just putting feodra on download,u saved my say [20:00] still no one?

I've done a lot of installs/reinstalls and currently have 3 extra swaps and am not sure which one is the one in use [21:30] !notunity | joansirley [21:30] joansirley: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [21:30] hello - I m curious why I cant write access an ext4 partitioned drive on the ubuntu machie from my windows 7 machine. No problems accessing it s contents but nothing else works like making folders, deleting, creating files, copy to etc. It is set as writeable and users with write access are asigned to the share too [21:31] Aaronneyer: Just geussing here, but can you noit tell from file access dates? [21:31] Aaronneyer, Maybe open up the Disk Utility, check in there if you haven't looked already... [21:31] ok ubottu you are a clever bot... [21:31] Aaronneyer: /etc/fstab probably lists the one in use [21:32] Im looking in disk utility right now. Would the one in use be the highest or the lowest swap by sda#? [21:32] list [21:32] !list > orst62 [21:32] orst62, please see my private message [21:32] Aaronneyer: "swapon -s" gives a summary of the swap in use [21:33] Ok thank you [21:33] So I can freely delete all of the other swap partitions? [21:33] probably [21:33] Hey, how do I find out what are these files? [manual] [21:33] lat=55.0 [21:33] lon=12.0 [21:33] vvv [21:33] ...

[21:33] libxcb1-dev, libxcb-randr0-dev, libx11-dev [21:34] Ok, because on my netbook, I had three different distros installed and when I tried to delete two swap partitions I think it deleted my grub [21:34] I meant this, had wrong stuff on clipboard [21:34] Because I got a grub rescue prompt on bootup and had to install a new distro to fix it [21:35] hmm...possible that deleting the partitions renumbered them. It ought not to, but I guess it might [21:35] Like, what are those files? [21:35] Mmk well thanks, I'll try that now [21:36] Or, are they files to begin with? [21:36] Noone who knows what my shutdown problem could be? google is not helping me very well today === sysadamin is now known as sysadamin|away [21:38] BBL, stuff to do === gnomitsu is now known as Guest87019 [21:40] ok... acpi=off seems to be the one I need. However... when I press 'e' in the boot menu and add it to the kernel line, no change. I can press ctrl-alt F1, I get a vty, so I have access, just gui isn't working right. [21:40] hello - I m curious why I cant write access an ext4 partitioned drive on the ubuntu machie from my windows 7 machine. No problems accessing it s contents but nothing else works like making folders, deleting, creating files, copy to etc. It is set as writeable and users with write access are asigned to the share too [21:40] Mmk, was unsuccessful. I deleted all the swaps except the one it said was active, but when I booted up I got a grub rescue prompt and it said it could not find the partition [21:40] okay, the next question: How do I know which such things I already have installed? [21:40] Is there a way to fix this without installing a whole new ubuntu? [21:41] Like a quick way to fix the grub. I'm currently booting into a live CD of ubuntu [21:41] Likes of these: libxcb1-dev [21:41] hi, /tmp/TSwR1IuE.zip.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read. [21:41] Try again later, or contact the server administrator. [21:42] is there a log file I should be inspecting? [21:42] ^ why do i get that from firefox? [21:42] Laurenceb_: sounds like the download failed. [21:42] but it fails with everything [21:42] is my tmp file space full or something? [21:43] question? [21:43] Hello. I have Ubuntu & Windows on dualboot (not wubi). I'm trying to install the drivers for a mouse I've just bought, however the installer crashes due to a "cannot open bootloader device". Would this be because of the fact that I have a GRUB boot loader? [21:43] Wubi install of 11.10 doesn't work on my new laptop [21:44] how can you delete a directory with stuff in it? [21:44] Can anyone tell me how to fix my grub. I deleted extra swap partitions and my linux partition and my swap partition went from sda10/11 to sda5/6 and now I get a grub rescue prompt on bootup [21:44] enikm4: rm -rf [21:44] SilverFox, ty [21:44] scenario: i have a partition with my OS (windows) and i want to resize it and put ubuntu on a new partition. i have a bunch of mirrored disks being managed by windows software raid. my solution is to unplug the mirrored disks when i install ubuntu, and then make sure the fstab doesn't have references to the mirrored disks and then plugging them back in and rebooting [21:44] enikm4: be careful with that thing. Its loaded. [21:44] will this prevent ubuntu from ever mounting my mirrored disks? [21:44] Hi all, i have been troubleshooting the replication of contacts from thunderbird to ubuntu one using the thunderbird-couchdb package. Via process of elimination I appear to have found why the contacts are not syncing. Only when the migration process noted within desktop-couch-migration.log cycles does ubuntu one sync the data [21:45] SilverFox, haha okay thanks [21:45] essentially question is: when you reboot ubuntu, does it check for new /dev/sd* devices and add them to the fstab [21:45] so i have 2 questions. Does anyone know how often does this process occurs? and secondly is there a way to force it? [21:46] Hey everyone, i have a question. Is there a way to make it so sound is played through both my headset (or external speakers) and my internal laptop speakers? I'm running Ubuntu 10.04. [21:46] wget works - clearly an firefox issue [21:47] pist0l-fish: No, it won't automatically add them when they appear. However, why do you want to unplug the drives? I think you should be able to tell ubuntu to ignore the disks during the install... [21:50] Dexo: you may be able to unmute the interface in sound options [21:51] ActionParsnip: Under the Output tab of Sound Preferences?

My "D:" has 500 GB of data so I cannot move the data. Thank you. [23:14] codazoda, does it change only if you plug or unplug a monitor?

If I connect it to my secondary monitor (DVI) and restart, it works. If I connect it to a 1080p TV or projector in a conference room (VGA through who knows what wires and switches) it doesn't work. [23:19] jonii: Google " [23:19] jonii: Google "unity launcher quicklist" [23:19] Multbrelch: Other Mac OS X and Windows users seem to detect it fine, so I don't know if it's the switches and cables or not.

[23:25] i am trying to install ubuntu on intel i5 processor 64bit... do i need the ubuntu-11.10-desktop-amd64.iso file? [23:25] But since that tutorial suggests I make a directory called ~/.local/share/applications, I take it it's not the case. So I can't pinpoint where does Ubuntu find those default programs to be included in the launcher the first an account is created [23:26] unique; you can use 32/64 bit ubuntu, but maybe more eficient with amd64 === Edgan_ is now known as Edgan [23:26] Jonii: I've not tried adding Quick lists, looking /usr/local/share/applications [23:27] jonii: sudo find / -name applications -type d [23:27] blackshirt: its confusing me that the file is called amd64 and im installing it on i5 [23:27] jonii: Possible locations [23:27] Jonii: the items that should be in the launcher are kept in dconf, but the actual launcher files can be in several locations (usually either /usr/share/applications or ~/.local/share/applications/) [23:27] !pm [23:27] Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice.

[23:27] unique: don't be confuse, amd64 just for a name 64bit sistem, not specific to AMD [23:28] how do I deal with a null directory name? [23:28] deej1976, ok, I`m sorry. [23:28] Jonii: the defaults are set in the gsettings key com.canonical.Unity.Launcher favorites, you can see the default values in dconf-editor (but it just lists the .desktop files that are loaded) [23:28] blackshirt last question, to install it with RAID1 i only need the -alternate-amd64.iso file right? [23:29] JViz: What do you mean by "null" directory name ? ... A directory name cannot be an empty string. [23:29] unique: yeah, or server edition [23:30] mmoebius: ls lists it as (null), but ls (null) says -bash: syntax error near unexpected token `(' [23:30] mmoebius : yes it can mkdir " " " " [23:30] JViz: ( and ) are special characters to bash. You need to escape those. [23:31] try ls \(null\) or ls "(null)" or ls '(null)' [23:31] mmoebius: that worked [23:31] lol [23:31] deej1976: A space character is not an empty string. [23:31] ok [23:32] nobody know about my previous question ? [23:32] deej1976: You can evan have ANSI-Escape sequences in dir names. That wat great fun in the good ol' tiokmes when ls didn't filter those by default and people started to have ANSI terminals ;-) [23:32] trism: oh, ty, that answers my question [23:32] +s [23:32] I assumed it should be simple to turn on Compiz with Cube rotation and so on in Unity on Ubuntu 11.10.. Has anyone had a good experience on doing that? [23:33] serialk: Most likely, nautilus issues the mount() call to the kernel, directrly, why ? [23:35] trism: I take it those defaults are not to be tampered with unless you know really well what you're doing? [23:35] serialk: Otherwise, run strace -p as root and watch it issue a call or an execve() ... Most likely you want the -o option of strace and analyze the resultiung big file later. Dirty work but foolproof [23:35] mmoebius: my nautilus isn't launched as root [23:36] I kinda expected something more user-friendly, like a folder or a single file that lists all the launcher items [23:37] Jonii: do you mean edit individual items or edit the items listed in the launcher? [23:37] Is Firefox 8 not in the 11.04 software centre yet? [23:37] trism, both, really [23:37] !ff | Ek123 [23:37] Ek123: firefox is the default web browser on Ubuntu. To install the latest version, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion | To install plugins: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxPlugins [23:38] serialk: try whatever works for you. User may work. I wouldn't know. Espcieally if the mounbter would run over a helper-program that is suid and you try to follow with the apppropriate strace option, you would want t orun strace as root. Before, read the strace man page anyways. [23:38] Jonii: you can add items to the launcher by dragging and dropping them there, right click and uncheck them to remove them [23:38] serialk: and consider -t -r and -s 150 or greater. Just my 2cent ;-) [23:38] Jonii: if you want to edit an item, I usually create (or copy) the desktop file into ~/.local/share/applications and then you can edit the file as you need [23:39] Jonii: you'll need to drag and drop it back on the launcher for the changes to take effect, and you generally want to rename custom items so they don't conflict with system version from /usr/share/applications/ [23:40] So it's by default gui-thing to modify launcher? Okay [23:41] ActionParsnip: When I reinstalled Firefox through the software centre I got FF7 even though 8 is the latest stable release. Did I remove the wrong repo or is the software centre version not necessarily always the newest version? [23:43] how do i install 'iostat' ?

I installed the gnome one but it's was the right one . I don't know what's the command to install the classic desktop. Does anyone know ? all the tutorial says it should be switchable at the login screen but it's not [23:50] chaospsychex: those 2 packages may help [23:50] hola [23:50] yo hablo español y necesito ayuda [23:50] Hi [23:50] !es | daniel__ [23:50] daniel__: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

How do I change the screen colour depth to 16? There are no options for depth anywhere\ [23:52] !notunity | Vey [23:52] Vey: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [23:52] Vey, "lsb_release -a" in a terminal will tell you for sure [23:54] zykotick9: If I download Firefox from their site I can get version 8 but then it won't update properly will it? [23:54] zykotick9, definitely 11.10. I'll look into the gnome-shell package. I tried one but dont recall which [23:55] Ek123: there is a PPA you can use, you can even use the nightly to get 11 if you fancy [23:55] Any clue about http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/741754/ ?
