blackshirtNichola: what part step make you stuck ?00:05
Guest57226Hi, how do I run a startup application (shell command) in a window?00:05
BarkingFishNichola: how long have you left it at the part where you say it gets stuck?00:06
NicholaIt doesn't seem to be a paticular step, unless I could say the final install. But it has gotten stuck in other spots as well...00:06
BarkingFishDepending on the speed of your USB device, it could simply be slow to install.00:07
NicholaI have left it overnight twice..00:07
kaushalActionParsnip: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/741764/00:07
BarkingFishah, well not that slow then :)00:07

BarkingFishNichola: what operating system was on the laptop prior to your wanting to install Ubuntu?00:08
kaushalActionParsnip: Any further clue ?00:08
Nicholait was an unregistered version of windows 7. The laptop was originally designed for Vista00:09
BarkingFishhm.  I've heard of 7 doing strange things to disks, i can't remember what though.00:09

Nicholaokay, how do I do that?00:12
Braber01how do I edit my settings for evelotion?00:13
NicholaI tested the memory...00:13
RoodypooActionParsnip: no it is not.00:13
Artemis3Nichola, there something else you could try, use Lubuntu and see if it freezes there, or Xubuntu but quickly turn of compositing.00:13
Roodypooiceroot: I use sudo and it still comes up.00:13
ActionParsnip!nomodeset | Nichola00:13
ubottuNichola: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter00:13
Artemis3Nichola, then see if its stable with either of these00:13

nac-godfatherI uninstalled gnome-mplayer, and it was corrected (nautilus).  But then when I reinstall, then it happens again.00:29

AaronneyerCan someone help me out with an error Im getting.  Im trying to install a package and it keeps saying "Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: python3.1"00:40
tonyyarussoAaronneyer: What packge, ad where did the package come from?00:41
ActionParsnipAaronneyer: sudo apt-get -f install    may do it00:41
AaronneyerPackage is dupeGuru00:41

ActionParsnipAaronneyer: are you using Natty or later?00:42
AaronneyerOneiric00:42
tonyyarussoAaronneyer: File a bug with the authors.  The correct way to do it in Ubuntu would be package name python3, with a version >= 3.1.0.00:42
ActionParsnipAaronneyer: then the command I gave will help00:42
tonyyarussoAaronneyer: (In other words, the code in their package is wrong.)00:43

ActionParsnipAaronneyer: its not just for the repos, its the package system as a whole00:44
ActionParsnipAaronneyer: scroll up00:44
AaronneyerI tried sudo apt-get -f install00:44
jakobbgOerHeks: seemed like he had forgotten his username, box had auto-login earlier, and now it did not work any longer00:44
AaronneyerBut what am I supposed to type afterwards00:44
ActionParsnipAaronneyer: that's it, thats the command00:44
tonyyarussoActionParsnip: I don't see how -f install is going to do anything for him.00:45
ActionParsniptonyyarusso: it will pull down the required deps (assuming they are available) to [f]ix the issue00:45
tonyyarussoActionParsnip: There is no such package as 'python3.1'.  That's his problem.00:45
ActionParsniptonyyarusso: it may just be python or something else, the manifest in the deb will tell the OS what it needs00:46
tonyyarussoActionParsnip: The package name is just python3.  The rest is in the version string only.00:46

ActionParsniptonyyarusso: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python3.1/3.1.3-1ubuntu1/+build/2310554   seems one was built in March this year. Is this the same?00:49
tonyyarussoActionParsnip: The reason being that Oneric has python3.2.  python3 is a metapackage that refers to the current version, and is what should be used as a dependency as such.  They skipped that step and depended directly, thus the problem.00:50

tonyyarussoAaronneyer: Did you catch all of that?00:50
AaronneyerYa, so is there no way to get it to install 3.1 on oneiric?00:51
ActionParsnipaljosa: xorg edgers. It is VERY experimental and most likely UNSTABLE. Your choice00:51
ActionParsnipAaronneyer: you could tell the maintainers to modify the deb for oneiric00:51
AaronneyerOk then, thanks00:52
tonyyarussoAaronneyer: The way to do it involves individually downloading .debs for the dependencies manually (without apt), then using dpkg -i --force-depends on the one from them last.  But, that's a gross way of doing it, and it's a ridiculously trivial bug for them to fix upstream, so you should make them do that :)00:52

brjannc_calum: (or mounted read-only)01:14
_calumoh, I'm not sure I unmounted it01:14
djzni have a small problem in gnome-shell in ubuntu...-> when I open a new window, the menu (file edit view tools about, etc) it gets a delay, loading a bit later... is this anyone experiencing this on radeon module?01:14
_calumI think its mounted as read only01:14
_calumis it read only if I had to sudo to execute dd?01:15
brjannc_calum: dd isn't smart enough to understand what to do if the filesytem changes; it's literally just copying bits. you can check if it's mounted readonly by running: mount | grep /dev/sda301:15
brjannc_calum: no, you need to use sudo because you're accessing what's called a block device (which is what /dev/sda3 is)01:16
_calumso by default ubuntu denies a standard user write access to the filesystem?01:17
brjannc_calum: look at the end of the line, you'll see something like (rw) or (ro), possibly with some other options01:17
brjannc_calum: not exactly; /dev/sda3 refers to the actual partition itself, not the filesystem on it01:17
_calumhold on I'll just check01:17
reflexrgis there an ubuntu app to remove all facebook content?01:18
OerHeksreflexrg, "all" content of all users ?01:19
_calumit says rw. Is the backup ruined?01:19
_calumor should I cancel?01:20
reflexrgall content from you, interacting with others and others interacting with you.01:20
reflexrgme*01:20
brjannc_calum: potentially. it depends on if there's been activity on that filesystem while you've been backing it up; for safety's sake, i would say yes, it's probably not a good backup, and you should cancel it01:20
reflexrgwall posts, messages, likes, comments01:20
reflexrgall of it01:20
_calumso cancel the backup and unmount then do again?01:20
reflexrgI can only find a program called exofliate for android :(01:21
yeatsreflexrg: ubuntu and facebook are not related, so no there's not an app (beyond your browser)01:21
brjannc_calum: yep, or remount it read-only. where is that partition currently mounted?01:21
reflexrgyes I know that and yes there is things beyond your browser with facebook on ubuntu01:21
yeatsreflexrg: such as?01:22
reflexrglike the IM plugin and prism or whatever you call it01:22
_calumbrjannc:I cannot remember exactly what the command said but it said rw something about errors-ro then /dev/sda301:22
djznanyone using gnome shell here?01:22
brjannc_calum: run it again, and paste the line here? mount | grep /dev/sda301:23
OphirN4545djzn: Me. Why?01:23
_calumok01:23
reflexrgfacebook makes it a pain in the ass to delete all content I am just wondering if there is a way to delete it all with an app in ubuntu repo01:23
djznOphirN4545: nvidia, intel or radeon01:23
yeatsreflexrg: but there's not anything that manages content - just things that plug in to the facebook API01:23
yeatsreflexrg: no there's not01:23

reflexrgokay01:24
ActionParsnipreflexrg: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h17txbqzjpE01:25
djznOphirN4545: did you notice when you open a new window in shell01:25
_calumsorry it took long am on other pc, it says /dev/sda3 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount.r,commit=0)01:25
djznOphirN4545: there is a delay on loading up the application menu01:25
djznOphirN4545: like "File Edit View..."01:25
djznOphirN4545: i doesn't open instantaneously with the window... it has a lag01:25
djznOphirN4545: like if it were using the global menu01:26
brjannc_calum: ack. unfortunately, you can't unmount that partition, because it's your root partition -- it's where your OS currently lives :) so you also can't run a backup to / because then it'd be backing it up to itself01:26
OphirN4545djzn: No.01:26
_calumI'll reinstall it. Probably messed things up01:26
brjannc_calum: nono, you should be fine, so long as you only ran the dd command you wrote earlier01:27
zacktui just did a fresh install of 11.10 and now i'm using dpkg to reinstall packages that there there before -- i have a message with a header "lightdm" about display managers and since i've never modified the default selection or had more than one I don't know how to respond to this message -- actually, there's no option, except click OK, but is there something that I should do now?01:27
brjannc_calum: so far, you've only created a broken filesystem image; delete that, and it's like nothing ever happened01:27
reflexrgwhen I search for ubuntu android I don't find that app :(01:28
bjrohanDoes anyone here have knowledge on wireless? When first starting my wireless, it runs fine for about an hour, then speed degrades quickly until reboot. Any suggestions?01:28
bjrohanwhen connected via ethernet cable, all works well for days01:28
_calumOK. I thought something was wrong because there was slow response from programs after killing the dd terminal. I shut down the pc, should be ok now?01:28
brjannc_calum: should be. it's possible you've filled up the disk, though, but that's recoverable.01:29
yeatszacktu: 11.10 uses lightdm by default - looks like you're installing gdm?  both work, btw.01:30
itaylor57reflexrg, you could run the android sdk via eclipse if you want01:30
_calumso now I delete the broken system image from the / directory?01:30
yeatsbjrohan: check /var/log/syslog for any messages around the times of the slowdowns?01:31
brjannc_calum: yep -- just be very careful in what you type, and double-check it, since you're sudo rm'ing from the root directory. i'd recommend: sudo rm -i /UbuntuBackup.img01:32
brjannc_calum: the -i will prompt you for a y/n answer before removing anything, so make sure it's what you want before you hit 'y'01:32
_calumahh right01:32

MestreLionyours is probably a more modern version, yeats02:26
xanguaOY1R: tried to upgrade firefox¿02:26
OY1Rno i did not02:27
MestreLionOY1R: may be flash installation... lucid does not come with flash by default.. which flash did you install?02:27
MestreLionno need to upgrade firefox.. i have 10.04 in my netbook and it plays youtube fine02:28
OY1Rit worked yesterday, not today.02:28
sancashow can i disable, gedit create an file backup for example file~02:28
sancas???02:28
MestreLion(but you should upgrade anyway... FF8 just landed on Mozilla's PPA.. and it rocks :D)02:28
sancasi dont know if you understand me02:29
MestreLionsancas: Edit  > Preferences > unckeck Backup files02:29
yeatsMestreLion: looks like that was not in the man page in 10.10 but was adding in 11.04 - very interesting ;-)02:29

BlackDalekHi. Video files (avi, video codec XVID MPEG-4, audio codec MPEG 1 Audio, Layer 3) play like a choppy slide show and I get no audio in Totem Movie Player. What could be causing this? How do I fix it? VLC plays perfectly but I can't use my remote with VLC and I want to be able to use my remote. Help!02:30
MestreLionyeats: so its a new feature in 11.0402:30
yeatsMestreLion: yep - weird ;-)02:30
szal!info firefox lucid | OY1R02:30
StupendoussteveMestreLion: Sorry didn't see your commrnt. Aptitude can use the command line options too, only does the "gui" if you run without options02:30
ubottuOY1R: firefox (source: firefox): safe and easy web browser from Mozilla. In component main, is optional. Version 3.6.24+build2+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.10.04.1 (lucid), package size 11153 kB, installed size 30064 kB02:30
BlackDalekhow is it that VLC can work and no other video player on my system works?02:30
MestreLionwhy weird? new software sometimes have new features... i wanted this apt-get download badly :D02:30
yeatsMestreLion: I understand that.  I just didn't realize it wasn't a feature before02:31
MestreLionStupendoussteve: and is aptitude the only way for a non-root user to download a given binary package by name ? (besides manually going to a website, i mean) ?02:31
StupendoussteveMestreLion: Sounds like, unless you upgrade apt-get02:32
szalBlackDalek: VLC brings its own codecs02:32
MestreLionand is there any way to upgrade apt-get "cleanly", without messing the system?02:33
OY1RMestreLion, i have version 10,3,181,1402:33
MestreLionBlackDalek: VLC is the most powerful player, it comes with its own codecs for most (if not all) video formats. It doesn't mean its better than totem.. for me, vrmb and DVD videos are choppy in VLC and play great in totem / gmplayer02:34
subsumeHow to I make a currently running TMPFS bigger?02:34
lyraeAnyone know how to delete multiple files with the ftp command?02:34
lyraerecursively02:34
subsumelyrae i dun think you can02:34
subsumelyrae its up to the client to do that02:35
lyraei see. thank you02:35
MestreLionftp is a client02:35
subsumeright02:35
BlackDalekThen how can all other players not work when I have all the codecs installed as suggested on the ubuntu help pages? It is only XVID and MP3 audio.....?02:35
subsumebut more advanced clients will do things like recursive delete02:35
no-name-can you use gconf editor to tell a certain app to always open maximised?02:35
MestreLionno-name-: im not sure... but you can use compiz settings for that02:36

lyraeremember in older gnome, under "places" on top, you could connect to a remove machine? where is that option now?02:39
yeatslyrae: open nautilus and do File -> Connect to Server...02:40
MestreLionlyrae: as subsume said, ftp command is a "raw" ftp client... it just allows you to use the commands that are in the FTP protocol, and there is no such command for recursive delete. BUT... you could either script it to get the list of files and delete them (like GUI clients do), OR you could use an ftp client that has a command-line argument that does that (i dont know any)02:40
Wisniahi , does anybody know how to change startup sound?02:40
i_0mangaHey! If you're in the US looking to spunk/shoot your load on some wonderful girls, go to http://www.bukkakeforums.com/ and sign up. Parties are being set up in the Atlanta and Dayton areas.

subsumewhat's the deal?02:41
MestreLionyeats: nice approach... using nautilus to mount the ftp site and you can use "rm -rf" to recursively delete :D02:41
ygorIm trying to use a fiscal printer , but i need to emulate it, and im using stoq software...does anyone know it?02:41

BlackDalekthis is hopeless. there is obviously no solution and I am going to have to start again from scratch with a fresh install..... and hopefully whatever got #$@%ed up on my system won't happen again this time >:(02:42
lyraeyeats, if i'd like to create a folder on the desktop that connects to such remote machine when opened02:42

Stupendoussteveblackshirt: Doesn't work as non-root, aptitude does02:50
yeatsworrow: that's exactly the kind of issue we *can't* support here because it's a different distro ;-)02:50
aeon-ltdworrow: anything goes, as long as the package manager can search for dependancies you can mix and match anything02:50
blackshirtStupendoussteve: yeah, you must use sudo / su02:50
aeon-ltdworrow: use a different session/login manager that does support it, gdm does02:50
worrowDon't get me wrong here, Ubuntu is amazing. But it has become too bloated02:50
worrowI get xsession error when switching to ubuntu login02:51

jaberwokiI have the Radeon HD 6990 and I'm trying to do the three monitors. Every time I click apply the settings dont take effect through the AMD activated driver menu catalyst02:52
jaberwokiI'm in 11.10 x6402:52
StupendoussteveMestreLion: It will deliver the .deb into your current directory. I'm not sure if it will also download the dependancies02:52
worrowI did, I want less jazz to increase performance. Login session won't let me get into ubuntu session without xsession error and backtracking. I can't autologon as it is accessible to change only from root02:52
jaberwokiwhat should I do? Is it a bug?02:53
aeon-ltdworrow: aren't you root?02:54
jaberwokiI did some google foo and couldn't find anything02:54
worrowyes, but when i go into the file to change it for autologin it won't let me save02:54
worrowwhats the best session manager and logon manager across the board02:54
somsipworrow: I use a minimal install of unbuntu64 and slim login manager. Not bloated. Fast.02:55
worrowcurrently using gnome 2 and x11 session managers02:55
worrowI like speed  booting02:56
MestreLionworrow... i'll try to say this politely: since Peppermint OS is an Ubuntu derivative, many of its features and issues are common to Ubuntu. But not all questions are. And yours, in particular, is in about something that Pepper does it in a completely different way than Ubuntu. So don't call us "snooty", its just that this is a pepper-only issue that ubuntu users can't help, because it works differently there.02:56
worrowshutdown is around 4 seconds02:56

ActionParsnipsomsip: like it02:58
MestreLionStupendoussteve: deb only is fine... i dont want to install it, just take a look at the installed files. its a package that is already installed here, but i want to know what exactly it changed in my system (its the command-not-found package, btw)02:58
weiyanghi, does someone know the server comply with the DMI specification?02:58

somsipworrow: yes - minimal really is minimal. I did have 7 second on Arch but couldn't get full hardware support. But it's moot. I get a cup of coffee while booting. that takes longer than the boot02:58
jaberwoki16GBs of mem02:58
MestreLionworrow: how many times a day you boot your machine for its time to bew of any relevance?02:58
jaberwokiand a naked woman spreading eagle02:58
ActionParsnipworrow: no it uses pud files you add to the system and they are loaded at boot, you can make them with a bit of effort from ubuntu debs02:58

urlin2uStrangeCharm, depends did you find it there or in /etc/apt/sources.list I spelled sources incorrect the first time.03:20

OldParrMestreLion: speak03:27
devkorcvinceurlin2u: yap if someone will stop me cause its a bad idea to upgrade i will hit cancel...03:28
MestreLionthat one is quite an old, simple CPU... you wont benefit that much with a 64 bit OS... maybe a 32 one will run faster and lighter03:28
HowardlyI am not sure if i can get help here but does any one no about packet loss??03:28
ActionParsnipHowardly: some03:28
OldParrMestreLion: i thought that a marriage between hardware and software was good03:29
MestreLion64-bit OSes are recommended for modern machines, with more than 4GB of RAM, and which will run a lot of processor-intensive tasks (like video/audio encoding, scientific processing, etc), which i assume is not the case with a Sempron CPU machine03:29
devkorcvinceurlin2u: I'm still on Step 3 Getting the new packages its safe to hit cancel03:29
HowardlyI am trying to figure out why i am having packet loss03:29
Howardlymay just be comcast?03:30
urlin2udevkorcvince, theoretically yes but your system has been changed with the new sources list, why do you want to?03:30
MestreLionit is, OldParr, but all 64-bit machines can run 32-bits apps just fine... and 32-bit software has smaller memory usage,  hdd size, etc... its more suited for older machines03:31

HippyNerdIm having trouble installing. I've tried USB drive, and CD, but this computer doesnt seem to want to boot the install media.03:39
Q4MestreLion: I know, but for my googling efforts all I came up with has been pages on pages of whine about designers not contributing03:39
MestreLionDa|Mummy: Ubuntu by default uses PulseAudio... but some apps can be configured to bypass it and use ALSA directly03:40
dadisHippyNerd: smoke a bowl and relax. match th md5 sum on your boot media with the offical md503:40
dadisand then try again03:40
satalha_I already tried ubuntu 2d which did nothing for my computer and actually made it slower03:40
Hilikusi was updating to 11.10 in my server on the console and i was asked if i wanted to replace a config file or leave the old one. i chose to open a terminal to investigate and when i did that the console crashed. the update was interrupted in the middle and now when i do do-release-upgrade it says there's nothing to do, apt-get upgrade says it can't lock dpkg because the resource is unvailable. what should i do to resume th update??03:40

Da|MummyMestreLion, how do i disable pulse alltogether and just default to ALSA03:40
xanguaaskhader: unity runs on top of gnome, ubuntu oneiric uses gnome 3.203:40
askhaderOh so they just piled more bloatware on top, gotcha.03:41
satalha_askhader: do I know you? I was just thinking that myself!03:41
Da|Mummyif you want to avoid bloatware, ubuntu isnt what youre looking for03:41
MestreLionDa|Mummy: you don't want that, trust me... ALSA is single-app .. so you can't listen to music AND other stuff at the same time03:41
HippyNerdurlin2u, the system runs on the old system on old disk.03:41

TexasRussianThanks matisse :)03:45
danesMestreLion: nope03:45
MestreLionTexasRussian: sure... folks at #opensuse have many hints :D03:45
urlin2uHippyNerd, I'm talking about a out of the bios boot from menu you may not be aware of this option.03:45
Matissebrjannc, what would be the correct version? gods 5.1 e.g. :)03:46
HippyNerdit tries to boot usb, but stops and says "boot error", when trying to boot cd, it spins up the disk, but then boots from hdd03:46
Hilikuswhat can i do if my distro update got interrupted? how can i resume it?03:46
zusActionParsnip,  the VB one was no problem till just  the  last update...03:46
MestreLiondanes: if its a live-cd, without persistency, you can not actually "install" or "fix" anything.. everytime you boot you have a completely fresh OS03:46
zuslemme see if these are resolved.. thanks  ActionParsnip  and xangua03:46
HippyNerdbios boot? is this an ubuntu software thing, or do you mean the bios software the comes with the motherboard?03:46
MestreLionHippyNerd: its hard to tell if this is an Ubuntu or a BIOS issue. HAve you tried to boot any other non-Ubuntu boot media to test if your BIOS can boots CDs correctly?03:47
MestreLionHilikus: define "interrupted' :P03:48
brjanncMatisse: Well, what I'm saying is that it's more-or-less hardware (e.g. your amplifier) dependent, and I don't think OS sound settings affect it -- I could be wrong there though03:48
zusalright i still get the same  tihng  i give  up some thing  is not right and  its really  getting me mad, im walking away for a bit03:48
urlin2uHippyNerd, try the disc or usb on another computer to confirm whether either work, then start with f12 tapping it at powering on like you were trying to get to the bios, if it does not work with a validated cd or usb look on the web for the correct key or keys for this out of the bios boot menu03:48
=== ubuntu is now known as danes
brjanncMatisse: to be clear, by hardware amplifier, I mean the amp connected to your speakers -- not your computer's hardware03:48
HippyNerdI have not tried any other install media on this computer.03:48
HilikusMestreLion: i was asked if i wanted to overwrite or keep a file that changed, i said i wanted to get a console to inspect, which is one of the options, and once there the console crashed so i was kicked out of the update03:48
MestreLionHippyNerd: do you have any non-ubuntu install media to test? maybe a windows install CD? That could rule out your bios config03:49
HippyNerdurlin2u, I can get into the bios, if thats what you are talking about,.03:49
MestreLionHilikus: but do you sill have full access to the OS? is it responding?03:50

HippyNerdI do have a running ubuntu system on this computer, is there a way I can install from the system that is currently running ubuntu 11-403:51
MestreLionHippyNerd: are you trying USB or CD ?03:51
danesMestreLion, thanks for your help. I understand that I cannot save anything using a live cd. What I want to know is if I can fix the system files in my hard drive to be able to boot up ubunutu again03:51
Matissebrjannc, but, actually, Im not interested in the sound. Which signals does the computer send? Left, right, and something else?03:51
HilikusMestreLion: no, it says no new release found03:51
urlin2uHippyNerd, I'm not and I explained real clearly, try reading the posta and imagine on a planet far far away a whole other boot from menu having nothing to do with the bios that is prompted by key prompts at powering on the computer LIKE the bios but not actually the bios.03:51
HippyNerdMestreLion, tried both, both failed.03:51

luis_Running Ubuntu 11.04 on a HP Pavilion g4-1229dx  wireless card can see networks and when I put in the pass phrase for our home network it comes back Bad Password. I know irt is correct as I'm using it on the computer I am on now. any sugesstions03:52
MestreLionohhh, now i understood danes... i don't know man... it depends a lot on how damaged it is, and why it doesnt boot anymore, and how tech savvy you are. sometimes a grub re-install will do it03:52
HippyNerdMestreLion, well, usb failed, cd spun up, but it booted up from the hdd.03:52
brjanncMatisse: depends on your computer's outputs. some have multiple outputs for multiple channels, others have just stereo output, and relies on the amplifier to route the sounds to the right places. but we're getting a bit beyond the scope of #ubuntu :)03:52
danesMestreLion, its not grub. I am pretty sure03:53
MestreLionHilikus: try the update manager... it will pull the necessary packages03:53
Matissebrjannc, so, then what would the software output be if there are enough outputs on the computer03:53
HilikusMestreLion: this is ubuntu server, there's no GDM03:54

worrowquick question again. How do I remove programs from the start-up folder as root?03:54
worrownot sure what the command is to remove it03:54
Matissebrjannc, it is a pre-question because i need to decide if I can go back to alsa without loosing my multichannel functionality03:54
XGaryGWhere would I start looking for the problem?03:54
worrowremove but not uninstall03:54
HippyNerdyagoo, I didnt see that, but I can reboot and look for it in the bios.03:54
MestreLionHippyNerd: its hard for us to tell if your bios is already set up to boot from CD or not. every computer is different in this regard. Some require you to change settings to allow a CD boot.. some require a key to be pressed at boot time for boot device options... and key may be DEL, or F2, or F12... it really depends on your computer brand / model03:55
brjanncMatisse: well, for example, the laptop i'm on now has digital stereo and analog stereo outputs; under the pulseaudio sound preferences, i can select e.g. "analog duplex output" or "analog input, digital output" etc.03:55
urlin2uHippyNerd, if your addressing me what I describe has nothing to do with the bios.03:55
MestreLionHilikus: are you trying to upgrade a server via apt-get distro-upgrade????03:55
tronjihola03:55
HilikusMestreLion: no, do-release-upgrade03:56
brjanncMatisse: I would guess that cards with multi-channel output would have multi-channel options. however, I think what you're asking is, can 2 channel stereo carry multi-channel (e.g. 5.1, 7.1 surround) signals? the answer is yes, because the amplifier decodes it03:56
luis_Any Thoughts?03:56
HippyNerdMestreLion, yeah, I understand, as far as I can tell from looking about the bios, it should boot from usb, and it tried, and failed. it should also boot from cd, but it sorta gave up and booted from the one running system I have installed on the old disk.03:57
MestreLionHilikus: i don't know man... i've never had the guts to do a desktop "live" upgrade... i always do fresh install ones... server is even more serious in this regard03:57
worrowI need the app-remove alternative to remove a file from a folder and not uninstall i03:58
HippyNerdMaybe I should ask, I am running 11.04, on an older disk, and I want to install 11.10 from Either CD, USB disk, or .ISO.03:58
HippyNerdwithout rebooting the computer to the media.03:59
urlin2uHippyNerd, just upgrade.03:59
=== gnomitsu is now known as Guest87279
ActionParsnipHippyNerd: grab the alternate ISO, mount it and you can upgrade using that03:59
MestreLionHippyNerd: depeding on how modern is your bios, booting from USB can be tricky... but modern bioses usually have a key that you can choose boot media at boot time without actually entering or chaning bios settings... if thats your case, its your best bet... find out which key is yours (google?) and see if the CD shows up in the list04:00

HippyNerdMestreLion, ok, after I have some pie, watch some tv, sleep, then work 8-10hours, I'll double check that my cd infact boots on other computers, and the usb stick boots on other computer, then I can take some pictures of the bios settings, and upload them to show you.  but I'd really rather just install from my old disk to the new disk.04:25
MestreLionHippyNerd: "bios being set to boot usb" is always tricky.. some older ones simply refuse to boot it... some requires voodoo like "USB-HDD" emulation...04:25
brjanncHACKhalo2: is this a removable device, like a USB drive? or just a partition on a disk?04:26
MestreLionHippyNerd: wait...04:26
HACKhalo2HDD partition04:26
MestreLionyou mean... copy the OS from one HDD to another?04:26
MestreLionbecause that would be a 1-line "dd" :P04:26
HippyNerdMestreLion, no, i just mean that I know some how I can install 11-10 from any of the many sources I have (cd, iso, usb drive) from a running 11-4 system04:27
=== LinoSP|away is now known as LinoSP
brjanncHACKhalo2: Oh, okay. All you need to do is change the ownership of the directory/directories, then, like sudo chown user /path/to/directory , where user is the user you want to own it. if you're certain there's nothing OS-related in that directory, you can add the -R flag to do it recursively04:28
HippyNerdthanks for the help, but im just too tired to get this going tonite.04:28
MestreLionHippyNerd: ok then... in this case you really need to boot it. take your break / snake / sleep;.. when you come back, if you give up trying to boot USB or CD, try GRUB's ISO boot... its a nice feature, and it works great04:29
MestreLionsnack*04:29
HACKhalo2brjannc ok thank you. so i cd into the UUID and just chown -R the entire thing?04:30

HACKhalo2brjannc /var/lib/apt/lists/security.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_oneiric-security_universe_binary-amd64_Packages04:40
HACKhalo2and yes MestreLion04:40
brjanncHACKhalo2: ummm... possibly? don't reboot, and sudo to root just to make sure you have a root terminal in case something goes wrong04:40
brjanncHACKhalo2: sudo -i04:40
MestreLionHACKhalo2: wow... grab a coffee... this will be a loooong nite :P04:41
HACKhalo2I have sudo to root04:41
MestreLionand.. DONT reboot ::P04:41
brjanncHACKhalo2: and be SUPER CAREFUL this time. don't do anything in that terminal, just leave it sit there at the # prompt04:41
worrowboot service file name or location anyone?04:41
HACKhalo2I'm going to download a liveCD of Ubuntu and drop it on my microSD04:41
brjanncHACKhalo2: I mean, sudo -i, so that you are *actually* root. when systems start to break, sudo can stop working, so it's important to have a root terminal open04:41
HACKhalo2just in case04:41
MestreLionworrow: what do you mean by "boot service file" ?04:41
HACKhalo2brjannc, i can sudo -i, and it asks for a password04:42
worrowwell, services are running on the computer, I want to edit which ones I want to disable during startup04:42
HACKhalo2i only think it got to /var/04:42
worrowI don't use a printer or bluetooth for example04:42
brjanncHACKhalo2: yep, it's asking for your password. then it'll drop you to a prompt that ends in # instead of $. that's a root prompt, everything you do there will be like you're running it with sudo. so don't do anything yet!04:42
HACKhalo2i'm not04:43
HACKhalo2but like I said, downloading a Ubuntu LiveCD on my microSD just in case04:43
MestreLionworrow: sudo service --status-all04:43
brjanncHACKhalo2: k :) alright. umm... let's see. in another terminal, as your regular user,    cd /     and then please    ls -alT | pastebinit04:43
worrowis there a file location for that?04:44
Matisseahhh, damn it... I have changed my sound system, correct channels to correct outputs... but now I hear the 50 Hz...04:44
brjanncHACKhalo2: whoops, lowercase t. ls -alt | pastebinit04:44

MestreLionbrjannc and HACKhalo2 : maybe its time to consider if a full reinstall would take LESS time than trying to reset every chown of every folder in the whole filesywstem back to its correct setting04:47
HACKhalo2brjannc http://paste.ubuntu.com/741907/04:47
brjanncMestreLion: he aborted it fairly early, I'm checking to see what root directories were touched. no worries, I know when bare metal reinstalls are faster ;)04:47
HACKhalo2MestreLion can't afford a full reinstall, I have a LOT of code and stuff I need for a NPO i work for04:47
HACKhalo2and I only have a 2GB microSD04:48
MestreLionHACKhalo2: full reinstall would only change apps and OS... it does not need to change *any* of your data04:48
brjanncHACKhalo2: ls -alt /etc | pastebinit04:49
MestreLionsure, it would be a major pain to apt-get and configure everything back... but your /home folder can stay untouched04:49
HACKhalo2brjannc http://paste.ubuntu.com/741912/04:49
MestreLionbrjannc: how to know how "early" he aborted? i wonder if i could fix that myself if i need to04:50
HACKhalo2MestreLion oh... I always just wiped the partition and reinstalled that way :P04:50
brjanncHACKhalo2: huh. okay, two more. ls -altR /etc | pastebinit     and ls -altR /dev | pastebinit04:50
brjanncMestreLion: I'm checking the modified timestamps on the directories; any directory last modified before a little while ago wasn't affected04:51

HACKhalo2i feel like such a newb04:51
HACKhalo2lol04:51

HACKhalo2MestreLion I'll remember that next time :P04:52
brjanncHACKhalo2: am i correct in that you chown'd to hackhalo2?04:52
MestreLionHACKhalo2: dont be... it can happen with anyone.. just double check any sudo.. and triple-check any sudo involving chowing :P04:53
HACKhalo2brjannc yep thats my username04:53
brjanncHACKhalo2: good news, /etc is safe04:53
MestreLionlucky boy04:54
mbrochhhi all. is there any way to clear recent documents on 11.10?04:54
MestreLionis /usr too ?04:54
ssfdre38what is the location of the MySQL Header files?04:54
brjanncHACKhalo2: /dev is safe too. the only other directories that've been modified today are /tmp (doesn't matter if ownership changed), /media (eh, not a big deal if changed), and /run (shouldn't matter)04:54
brjanncHACKhalo2: so, somehow, you completely escaped disaster.04:55
HACKhalo2hahahah04:55
HACKhalo2wow04:55
HACKhalo2I got lucky04:55
brjanncHACKhalo2: yes. yes you did. :)04:55
MestreLionwow, an aborted recursive chown that didnt messed up /etc and /usr ? Man, go to church NOW ! :D04:55
HACKhalo2ok04:55
HACKhalo2haha04:55
HACKhalo2well I'm still going to have the rescue disc just in case04:56
brjanncHACKhalo2: the only files in /etc that were owned by your user looked like they were that way because you created them (maven.sh)04:56
HACKhalo2yea04:56
brjanncHACKhalo2: go buy a lottery ticket :)04:57
HACKhalo2so now I know chown doesn't do what directory your in04:57
HACKhalo2brjannc if I had the money04:57
brjanncHACKhalo2: hm?04:57
HACKhalo2i did chown -R hackhalo2 / in the media/UUID directory04:57
HACKhalo2:P04:57
brjanncHACKhalo2: haha, yes, that's bad. if you want to do the current directory, you'd do chown <whatever> .04:58
HACKhalo2i now know that04:58
HACKhalo2:D04:58
ssfdre38where is the MySQL Header files located at so i can install php from source04:58
brjanncHACKhalo2: where the dot means "the directory i'm in now"04:58
HACKhalo2I never needed to use chown before04:58
brjanncHACKhalo2: chown and chmod behave pretty much the same, if you ever need to use chmod in the future04:59
HACKhalo2i've used chmod before, but I traversed into the directory and did it that way04:59
* brjannc wonders what the heck chown was doing between you hitting enter and cancelling it04:59
HACKhalo2brjannc, hitting the /var/ directory05:00
brjanncHACKhalo2: really?05:00
HACKhalo2yep05:00
MestreLionHACKhalo2: the last "/" in your command mens the root directory...05:00
MK`I was just using a harddrive when it accidentally disconnected before I could unmount it. Now it says i cannot mount it, because it think's it's still mounted but inaccessible. How do I clear this broken mount from the drive table?05:01
brjanncHACKhalo2: that doesn't make any sense... /var was last touched 2011-11-0905:02
MestreLionsome commands *may* work in current dir... but in this case you explicitly said the root directory05:02
MestreLionMK`: mount -u ?05:02
HACKhalo2brjannc, tre last directory printer was chown: changing ownership of `/var/lib/apt/lists/security.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_oneiric-security_universe_binary-amd64_Packages'^C05:02
brjanncHACKhalo2: ohh.. i wonder if it traversed deeper into the tree before modifying anything in var proper...05:03
MestreLioni mean.. umount05:03
brjanncHACKhalo2: this might be huge, but ls -altR /var | pastebinit05:03

HACKhalo2yea05:07
ssfdre38can someone help me with php and MySQL header files?05:07
HACKhalo2ok, so as a triple check, sudo chown -R hackhalo2 . will chown everything in the current directory that I'm in, correct?05:07
MestreLionMK`: have you tried unmounting it with umount?05:08
ssfdre38HACKhalo2, do sudo chown -R hackhalo2:hackhalo2 /path/to/dir05:08
brjanncHACKhalo2: that's correct, and it will do so recursively. but ssfdre38's suggestion is a good one, that's typically how I do it too05:09
MestreLionHACKhalo2: weird... chown doesnt even run without sudo05:09
somsipHACKhalo2: yes, but won't change the group. What ssfdre38 has suggested will do that too05:09
lystraI'm running 11.10. I have the console set to the serial port, ttyS0. Is there any type of idle timeout that disconnects the console connection if there is no login or inactivity?05:09
HACKhalo2MestreLion huh... not sure then. I did chown as a dry run to make sure it was the directory that I wanted05:10
HACKhalo2this last time05:10
HACKhalo2not the partition I wanted is owned by me :D05:11
MestreLionrodrigo@desktop ~/testdir $ chown root .05:11
MestreLionchown: changing ownership of `.': Operation not permitted05:11
HACKhalo2er, s/not/me :P05:11
ssfdre38HACKhalo2, that is what i would do when i chown my /usr/share dir for me to edit everything05:11
MestreLionwait HACKhalo2 ... you want to change the owner of a.. partition? then you dont need chown at all05:11
MestreLionyou need to mess with the mount options05:12
HACKhalo2MestreLion, I mounted it with Nautlius and it mounted it as root05:12

williamchan_i just installed xubuntu; however when i reboot it still boot to windows7 and theres no grub menu... ideas?05:41
williamchan_shouldnt the xubuntu installer automatically install grub in the mbr of /dev/sda (i only have 1 drive) .. its a SSD tho if it matters05:42
williamchan_and i believe i am also booting via UEFI if that mastters as well05:42
MestreLionorated: there is a 1.5GB DVD available for Oneiric... it contains more langugepacks and a full LibreOffice... its buried alil deeper than the CD install, but it can be found05:42
sinisterstufunique, you might be interested in a wifi tool for the commandline like wicd (sudo apt-get install wicd) it's very easy to use, allows you to specify password/ip/everything for different networks just like the graphical network manager, give it a try!05:42
boohGrub boot too fast.. how to have the menu?05:43
MestreLionbooh: but can you SEE the menu? if yes, hit any key to cancel the countdown timer. If no, press SHIFT to make menu visible on boot05:44
oratedMestreLion: Yes, I know that. But what is the reason for Ubuntu to keep next release in 750MB only05:44
sinisterstufI found some relevant pages about Wifi on Ubuntu on the Ubuntu help site Quontrex05:44
williamchan_MestreLion: is grub supposed to be visible by default? maybe i need to press SHIFT to see grub too?05:44
MestreLionwilliamchan_: it is visible if you have more than 1 OS in the menu... if you only have 1, it simply skips the menu and boots the OS directly05:45
williamchan_MestreLion: i just did a fresh install... no grub menu at all.. continues booting to win705:45
sinisterstufbooh, edit the file /etc/default/grub and change the line GRUB_TIMEOUT=2 to GRUB_TIMEOUT= however many seconds you want it to wait, then do: sudo update-grub05:46
williamchan_im booting via EFI .. would that be a problem?05:46
MestreLionorated: not sure... maybe to keep download time small.. many people already complain ubuntu is too bloated.05:46
sinisterstufwilliamchan_, my previous message might be useful to you too05:46
Quontrexoops whoever I accidentially PM'd05:46
sinisterstufwilliamchan_, in fact, just have a look around in that file I mention, perhaps your grub is set to hidden or something?05:46
williamchan_sinisterstuf: this is fresh install tho.. never had this trouble before =\05:47
sinisterstufwilliamchan_, I think it's worth checking anyway, just in case.05:47

fizyplanktonunkr: depends. you can recompile the kernal. or install themes07:07
zykotick9fizyplankton, load isn't a percent.  1 = core fully used, so if you have 4 cores a load of 4 mean 100% cpu utilization07:07
fizyplanktonso how can your cores have a load of 9 for 2 cores. thats 450% utilization07:08
zykotick9fizyplankton, that's right07:08

unkrfizyplankton, and how to do that ??07:08
fizyplanktontonyyarusso: bad-ish? what, is that like overclocking?07:09
tonyyarussofizyplankton: No, it just means that his system is having to wait for things, so stuff is running slower.07:09
tonyyarussofizyplankton: Probably not noticably, but if for instance your load was 100, you would definitely notice the sluggishness.07:10

Sometimes I can access the linux mediaserver just fine, without needing a u/p. but then it stops working and I have to reboot or restart samba. So in otherwords it is not reliably working and I cannot figure out why. My smb.conf is here http://pastebin.com/NkJaT8iE. Anyone hav07:42

shaxsdr_willis xbmc on windows 707:52
xruudfizyplankton: your help is appreciated, I just did not understand the last part ;)07:52
dr_willisboxee i think has its own upnp service if you run boxee on both. xbmc might also07:52
fizyplanktonxruud: sudo will execute the next command as root. sudo -i and su will both log you in as the root user. those are more permanent than  sudo07:53
xruuddr_willis: your advice is correct I think. I need to strip exactly 72 bytes :P07:53

filip_hi all.  I'm accessing a machine under 11.10 via nomachine, and can not pick a session from gdm.  what do I need to set up so that it starts up a full gnome session?  Default 11.10 settings start an abomination shell which doesn't even have window manager.08:03
dr_willisfilip_:  i have heard that the 'nx' has isses with unity08:05
almoxarifeshaxs: lets assume you had a virgin desktop setup, if you right click the folder ( one that you are the owner of) and choose 'sharing' will install the needed packages and set it up without any need to create conf files yourself08:05
dr_willisive never had much lck with freenx or the other vairiants08:05
shaxsalmoxarife: originally I did that...right click go to share. Says it needs to download samba. Installs.08:06
filip_dr_willis: I am not using unity, precisely for that reason.  I want to use 2D gnome.08:06
shaxsalmoxarife: but I couldnt get that to work so I looked for other options08:07
dr_willisfilip_:  perhaps test out some other window managers also. may be it has issues with  the gnome also.08:07
filip_dr_willis, metacity works but only if I start it manually08:08

llutz_hilarie:" nano file"  nano is an editor08:35
shaxsalmoxarife: I would think so, I can access the linux share through the IP08:35
llutz_hilarie: use "sudo nano  ..." if you need root-permission to edit08:36
hilariellutz_ use nano like I would gedit?08:36

nixmaniackhow can i apply patches to Ubuntu mainline kernel builds?08:44
almoxarifeshaxs: using machine names requires those same machines having 'hosts' files with all the names for the different ips, you may be better off with ip's as long as the ips are static08:45
shaxsalmoxarife: ah, that makes sense. Might be easier to assign a static IP through the router. Maybe.08:46
shaxsOr I can edit the host file on each machine08:46
sandy19please help me shaxs :(08:46

hilarieI know I will have to fstab it at some point, just trying to hack it together at this point, and I am using webmin to do all of this and it wants to know create with permissions:09:37
llutz_schu: you also dont want that :) mount that filesystem, then chgrp it to a group all users need access are member. then chmod g+w09:37
dr_willishilarie: webmin is not reccomended09:37

hilarieDr. Willis, why is that?09:38
dr_willis!webmin09:38
ubottuwebmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system.09:38

yagooevfool, do you have two vga ports? make sure vga port#1 is being used09:43

ic56Zpix: ok.  At least we know where the blockage is: the GUI is trying to shutdown to single user, and this returns failure.09:51

llutz_schu: my bad, it's other way round "/mnt/LinuxData/home /home none  bind 0 0"09:51
evfoolyagoo: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3928#ov09:51
yagooevfool, you sure your processor is 64bit? it doesnt look mainstream09:51

zetheroook I got Guvcview started and tried to record but I get this message in the terminal right before the program crashes: "[mp2 @ 0x18d14a0] codec type or id mismatches"09:53
Zpixic56: before this error I installed Conky and Airtime and have an system update09:53
ic56Zpix: a failure of this kind in a daemon would not be caused by a software bug; it would be the result of some kind of lock up between the daemon and some resource on which it depends.  The kernel itself would be getting stuck on it.09:53
Zpixic56: then I remove airtime and conky09:53
yagooevfool, you should ask #kernel about your processor..09:53
ic56Zpix: yes, new software could be causing this.  Do try to apt-get remoev airtime conky and see if that fixes it.  You can always apt-get install them after if that doesn't fix the problem.09:54
evfoolyagoo: I'll try to do that... can't find anything on the net about the processor09:54
evfoolyagoo: regarding whether it's 32 or 64bit09:54
yagooevfool, maybe an bios upgrade can help.. also i would try the 32bit edition.. (btw there's an upgrade for your bios)09:54

ubottuAntivirus 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/Antivirus11:19
dr_willisjonsaint:  because this is not windows. ;)11:19

dr_willis!tab11:28
ubottuYou can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.11:28
soulnafeinikonia: I didn't do anything about it, I've just installed 11.10 on this machine and it does that on the first boot.11:28
soulnafeinikonia: I've event tried to reinstall it one more time, and I get the same problem.11:29

Kartagisthanks ikonia11:29
michaeladr_willis could you help me or refer me to some one who could11:29

ikoniakaddi: we can't help you as we won't have any way to read / understand the software12:15
ikoniakaddi: if it's not publicly available you can't give it us as that would be against their rules,12:16

ubottuThe guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines12:16
kaddiall I need is a way to declare a command OSTYPE to return the value of $OSTYPE12:16
ikoniakaddi: hence, contacting the people who make it is the best approach12:16
BluesKajHey all12:16
ikoniakaddi: it depends on how the software wants it, it's not that simple12:16
abeanyone has experience with setting up NAP with bluez on ubuntu could point me to an up-to-date guide/doc? "sdptool browse local" never show NAP service available even when I have created a network.service in /etc/bluetooth12:16
MonkeyDustkaddi  your program is not supported on this channel12:16
kaddiikonia: this is the error: Makefile:17: Makefile.conf.: No such file or directory That is the file that should be included: Makefile.conf.linux-gnu. That is the line in the makefile: include Makefile.conf.$(OSTYPE)12:17
ikoniakaddi: that is pointless to tell me that error12:17
ikoniakaddi: the best option is to contact the people who supplied you with the software and explain the problem12:18
kaddii have nobody had supply it, I need to learn how to use it by myself12:18
kaddibut it's ok i'll figure something out12:18
ikoniakaddi: you've just said it's not publicly availabe so someone must have given it you12:18
oratedUpdating nfs server with sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart gives one error -  http://pastebin.com/VwrRTxVV Is that right?12:19
kaddii'm part of the group that's supposed to work with it.. doesn't mean someone has signed responsible for me and is at my disposure for questions12:19
ikoniakaddi: there must be someone/group/company who make the software, someone must have given your group your software12:20
kaddiyeh, prolly there is. Your guess is as good as mine though as to who that was12:20
rahmatwhere i can download source code ubuntu 11.10 ???12:20

* deej1976 I'm out for a bit12:47
PiciSpenserWilde: let me double check...12:47
waliddeej1976: i don't really care about having it gui-less. i just need it to run! ;)12:48
icerootwalid: download this https://www.dropbox.com/install?os=lnx  and double-click the file or use "sudo dpkg -i filename.deb"12:48

icerootwalid: file-browser12:48
icerootwalid: default file-browser for gnome/unity12:48
walidiceroot: i just did that ^^i ran apt-get install nautilus-dropbox, it said it was installed..12:49
icerootwalid: so what is the issue?12:49
lupussdeej1976: I have deleted it and rebooted, but when I came back there was a new one: the difference was it says eth0 on the MAC address( the prior didn't had nothing there)12:49
lupussbut it's still not working12:49
PiciSpenserWilde: zlib is part of the Python Standard Library: http://docs.python.org/library/zlib.html12:49
lupussand ifconfig12:49
lupussreturns the same, except for the line 'RX bytes:480 (480.0 B)  TX bytes:480 (480.0 B)' which has different bite numbers12:49

ThePendulumSo did Linux13:15
ThePendulumThe installation of both Ubuntu and Mint has failed many times before I got it right13:15
ThePendulum(the installer itself)13:15
KittyBunnyThePendulum: So I recommend you fix the hardware then install Ubuntu or you're going to fail.13:16
ThePendulumWell, many say it is a hardware issue, but I have no idea what part13:16
KittyBunnyThePendulum: Probably the hard drive more than anything.13:16
AtamiskOkay, i have a "general computing" question. If i buy a processor with more cores, but a slower overall clock frequency, will my 32-bit applications suffer? Basically i'm looking to jump from an i3-540 to an i7-800 series.13:16
ThePendulumKittyBunny: Strange, it's a brand new SSD and it ran Windows just fine before I attempted to install Mint 1213:16
KittyBunnyThe hard drive is probably corrupting the installation.13:16
KittyBunnyThePendulum: Theres your problem.13:16
ThePendulumKittyBunny: What would be the problem?13:17
KittyBunnyDid things install before the SSD replacement?13:17
ThePendulumI never replaced anything, it's a brand new system13:17

KittyBunnyThePendulum: Take it back13:17
ThePendulumBut things installed on it, as I said, Windows ran fine and before that I was running Ubuntu fine as well13:17
KittyBunnyhmm13:17
ThePendulumIt would be such an odd coincidence for it to fail right at the moment I am trying to install Mint 1213:18
KittyBunnyThePendulum: Do you get any I/O errors?13:18
ThePendulumAlso, Ubuntu and Mint 12 have booted before, but then they show nothing but an empty striped purple or grey screen or a strobe effect13:18
Atamisksounds like a video issue13:18
ThePendulumKittyBunny: The system itself boots just fine, up to loading the actual OS13:19
KittyBunnyI can't install Ubuntu from a disc.13:19
KittyBunnyI get I/O errors.13:19
ThePendulumI installed it from both a CD as well as a flash drive13:19
KittyBunnyMust be that I can't burn discs properly or The disc drive is screwed.13:19
ThePendulumAtamisk: Graphics card should be alright as well, the live cd runs just fine13:19
KittyBunnyhmm13:19
ThePendulumKittyBunny: That could be in your case, but I get the same results from CDs as well as a flash drive installation :P13:20
KittyBunnystrange13:20
Atamisktrue enough, but if it isn't instaling the right driver on install, it would play havoc with video.13:20
ThePendulumThe only thing I could think of, is indeed the SSD13:20
KittyBunnyThePendulum: Nope13:20
KittyBunnyYou said the disc doesn't display right.13:20
ThePendulumBut that doesn't explain why the Windows installation fails to load files, as well as the Ubuntu installation at multiple occasions13:20
Atamiskture...13:20
KittyBunnyand Windows installations are text based.13:21
ThePendulumBecause as far as I know, no installation needs the hard discs/SSDs before actually installing something13:21
ThePendulumText based?13:21

KittyBunnythe one that's used to partition the drive, etc.13:21
ThePendulumKittyBunny: didn't experience a blue screen for years :P13:21
KittyBunnyThat's text based.13:21
ThePendulumOh13:21
Atamiskyeah, the newer windows installation setup is a GUI13:21
ThePendulumWell I hardly ever access it13:21
ThePendulumAtamisk: It has been a GUI since at least XP?13:22

KittyBunnywhere it copies the files to the HDD.13:22
Atamiskwhen i installed W7 on my old netbook (HUGE mistake. it now runs arch :P) it was a very slick GUI13:22
KittyBunnythat's text based13:22
Atamiskno, the whole thing is GUI now, as fr as i remember.13:23
ThePendulumAtamisk: I never experienced Windows 7 as a huge mistake, different for Vista. But I prefer Ubuntu (when it was still running Gnome 2) or Mint13:23
KittyBunnyThePendulum: Ubuntu uses a lot of graphics as it's setup program.13:23
KittyBunnyand you said they don't display right.13:23
c3llhey what's up guys13:23
KittyBunnyI suggest you replace your card and see if that fixes the problem.13:23
ThePendulumKittyBunny: The setup itself displays just fine, it completes as well. The fun starts when I try to boot the installed OS13:23
KittyBunnyhmm13:23
KittyBunnyHDD then13:23
ThePendulumThe live disc runs just fine as well, looks great too with Gnome 3, so I feel like ruling out the video card13:24
KittyBunnyThePendulum: I could probably send you one but i've no money.13:24
AtamiskThePendulum: I like W7 alright too, but it's a bit ...demanding on a 32-bit netbook :P.13:24
szalThePendulum: W2k and XP setup, afair even W98 setup, were partly graphical, W7 setup is fully graphical..  can't say for Vista..  but this is off-topic here ;)13:24
MonkeyDustThePendulum  i had the same issue with mint 12: live ok, install nok13:24
ThePendulumMonkeyDust: Were you able to solve it?13:24
MonkeyDustnope13:25
ThePendulumMonkeyDust: I basically bricked my entire system, nothing can be installed13:25
Atamiskhave you tried making the hard drive is utterly empty of files and starting completely afresh? i've had times if i didn't completely wipe my HDD down to the MBR, i had issues.13:25
ThePendulumAtamisk: I formatted it multiple times now.13:25
Atamisknew partition table and all?13:26
ThePendulumYes13:26
Atamiskhmm13:26
ThePendulumCould the additional hard drives be an issue?13:26
KittyBunnyAtamisk: Problems only occure when you try to install Windows on a drive that has Linux on it or trying to install a shitty linux os on a drive with windows on it.13:26
KittyBunnylol13:26
ThePendulumThe OS is installed on the SSD, but I got two 1TB HDDs as well13:27
Atamiskpossibly. dmesg can be accessed during a live session, right guys? maybe check there for obvious errors?13:27
KittyBunnyThePendulum: Then use the HDDs.13:27
ThePendulumKittyBunny: I could try installing it on one of the HDDs indeed13:27

cgtdkHello. I have setup ProFTPd and I want a user to have access to one other folder than their homefolder (a mounted NTFS harddrive). I have tried mounting it in (mount --bind /media/drivename /home/theuser/afolder), but when I try to access the folder I have mounted it in I get this: 550 afolder: No such file or directory error failed to retrieve directory listing. What to do?14:55
NeldogzI cant figure out whats going on.. Im sure its something that is failing and the system is then disabling whatever it is14:55
methylenedioxyreboot it into recovery mode14:55

methylenedioxyyou should preserve the log that way14:55
methylenedioxyer choose recovery when it comes back  up14:55

zykotick9!notunity | mpeddi15:51
ubottumpeddi: 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 !classic15:51

b0tm1ndHi. I am having an Intel integrated video card and when I was using Debain it was always freezeing after some time of hard load usage. Even in the latest Squeeze backports. But once I installed the latest Ubuntu 11.10 the problem went away, it became totally stable!16:08
deej1976!info xul-ext-lightning | XGaryG:16:08
ubottuXGaryG:: xul-ext-lightning (source: lightning-extension): Calendar Extension for Thunderbird. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0~b7+build1-0ubuntu1 (oneiric), package size 1141 kB, installed size 5000 kB16:08
b0tm1ndBut I am having another problem.. I have an additional video card with chipset Radeon 9250 but with free drivers 3d acceleration seem not to be enabled, but for proprietary drivers I need to downgrade Xorg.16:09
XGaryGDo I have to enable something extra to see that?16:09
b0tm1ndSo the question: what is the easiest way to downgrade Xorg on Ubuntu 11.10 ?16:09

cireHi, I want to install ubuntu on my eee via sd-card. My running system here is a aptosid (~debian) linux. How can I prepare the sd-card for installation?16:47
pepeestrix_, kate16:47
EmphyHi16:48
cire(I read some docs, but mostly they describe installation from ubuntu)16:48
EmphyI want to remove a BIOS password on my computer, how can help me ? Because I want to install windows/linux but I can't with the password16:49
wiskey5alphapepee : hibernate (s2disk) hangs , and suspend (s2ram) works ...16:49
wiskey5alphabut when resuming from suspend, my wireless card doesnt work16:50
tensorpuddingEmphy, you generally need to reset the BIOS CMOS, which is a physical process that requires access to the internals of the machine16:50
kahen`I'm following this example: http://www.tug.org/texlive/debian.html showing how to install vanilla TeX Live 2011, but I can't get the equivs-build step to work. the apt tools still seem to think that texlive isn't installed16:51
tensorpuddingor you just enter the password and go to the BIOS setup16:51
tensorpuddingthe former assumes that you're trying to avoid the password because you don't know it16:51
mrdebis ubuntu 1110 stable now16:51
pepeewiskey5alpha, no idea, sorry :/16:51
Emphy I've removed the battery, wait 30 minutes, and replaced the battery but the BIOS password is always here16:51
Emphytensorpudding, I don't have the BIOS password. :/16:51
dpb_Emphy: a lot of time you have to reset a jumper16:52
EmphyHow many ?16:52
tensorpuddingoh, laptops are different16:52
dpb_Emphy: oh, this is a laptop?16:52
tensorpuddingyou can presumably remove the CMOS battery and that would reset it16:52
EmphyBecause When I restart the computer, I didn't have date and time but there is always password.16:52
EmphyYes this is a laptop16:53
tensorpuddingthe regular laptop battery can be removed without affecting the CMOS, because it has a dedicated power source in the form of a large watch-type battery16:53
pepeeCMOS battery, not only the mains batt. also, you don't need to wait 30 min16:53
mcbaineSaw this recently : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1X21HQphy6I PMessage me !!:-*16:53
dpb_Emphy, probably the best idea is to google for your laptop model and "reset bios password"16:53
dpb_Emphy: there may even be a youtube video about it.  I know I have followed one of those for my laptop before.16:54
tensorpuddingif that doesn't work your only recourse would be to open it up and look for the CMOS reset jumper16:54
EmphyOkay I search16:54
bytesaber_workdoes mankind need the medibunt repo anymore?16:54

bekksAfterGlow: Create a customized PXE image.16:58
EmphyOkay16:58
AfterGlowbekks: I added the required drivers into initrd, I wasn't sure how to load them so I tried calling modprobe from lib/debian-installer-startup.d/ but it does not appear to work, probably I am just doing it wrong :)16:59

tobzelmy xfce session seems to be corrupted how to start X without loading the old session17:00
tensorpuddingit's the easiest route, seriously17:00
zykotick9cire, with 11.10 it's a hybrid image and you can use dd or cat (cat is what debian uses in official instructions) to put the ISO onto USB/SD17:01

EldaHave a quick question:  Recently installed Ubuntu on my parent's PC so that I could provide them with a clean, easy to maintain OS.   I was wanting to add a few bookmarks to their desktop.  However this does not seem readily possible with Unity.  In order to do this would I have to revert to the classic gnome interface?17:02
EldaIve been poking about on the forums, but have yet to find anything pertaining to this17:03
tensorpuddingElda, by default gnome 3 does not manage the desktop17:03
tensorpuddingElda, it was thought that desktop icons were not necessary17:03
kattHI all.. does anyone in here happen to use IDJC?17:04
kattthanks :)17:04
tensorpuddingElda, you can change this behavior using the gnome-tweak-tool, it's available from the software center17:04
MonkeyDustyes17:04
dpb_katt: what is idjc?17:04
EldaGotcha, and it is not super necessary but I just want to have the icons there so that they blatantly say Web browser, Word processor etc17:04
EldaSince they are not very computer literate and they may not have the patience for or know to hold their mouse over the icon initially to see what it is, or even figure it out by sight initially hehe17:05
tensorpuddingElda, in order to get shortcuts on the desktop, the easiest way is to open the directory /usr/share/applications and copy the files there17:05

tensorpuddingyou can try using a less resource-intensive configuration, like lubuntu17:09

codazodaUbuntu 11.10, Natalis 3.2.1, when I highlight a file or folder and then start to type, it shows a little box with that text.  If I click another file or folder that text used to dissapear and I could start typing again.  That box no longer goes away (instead it goes away after a few seconds).  Is this broken or am I just using it wrong?17:35

mkjacksonhey folks, been thinking of updating my father's old laptop which has been running ubuntu 8.10 (or so)... does 11.10 perform just as well, or hopefully better, on old hardware?17:38
codazodaOpen Nautilus.  Click a file, type 'm'. Click another file, type 'a'.  The search string is now 'ma' and backspace takes you to a previous folder instead of backing up over what you just typed.17:38
gemunubut there is a nvidia sticker on the front17:38
zykotick9gemunu, i haven't used one of those (and kinda doubt lucid would be ideal at support for them)17:38
oratedHello! While configuring NAS, the input path given for file in /etc/exports like - '/ 192.168.2.0/24(rw,no_root_squash,async)' - The / or /home or /var or whatever need to be individual partitions? I got /home in different partition and when I shared / only and tried to access from client, it didn't work giving home folder empty but later when I added same line for /home it worked.17:38
zykotick9gemunu, good luck.  sorry lucid might let you down (it was my fav ubuntu release ;)17:38

Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic18:39

blarggActionParsnip, yeah, my point was just that's why I like Ubuntu's updates mostly being just security, so they won't be as likely to break anything.19:23
geoffmccblargg: a security update can foul up just as much as any other19:23

Do the Ubuntu CD's boot on another system ok? Because if the disks are ok, then you need to most likely start looking at 1) incorrect BIOS configurations, 2) bad hardware.19:51

ozzloysrhb, i believe the same live disk can be used for macs as for other computers19:57
ozzloysrhb, so just make a live usb using whatever machine you have that works19:57

altf2ohehe, not needed, it was a lucky guess due to similar sounding symptoms. Yes I would definitely toss it back in and run memtest CD on it. Mine tested obviously corrupt, thankfully it was just one stick.19:58

bodhi_zazenWhy not ?19:58
srhbbodhi_zazen: I'm not an expert, but it has to do with the way the Mac boots. It needs a HFS partition or something.19:59
bodhi_zazenWhat live iso is there for a mac ?19:59
bodhi_zazensrhb: so you want to install Ubuntu into a USB that then boots on a mac, but you are not using a mac and you do not know how it boots ?19:59
JoniiHey, what's the stuff that's run on login, what makes all the programs that do run, run on the startup, where do they exist, where is all that listed? I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 Unity19:59
srhbbodhi_zazen: That's the gist of it, hence why I'm looking for a guide.20:00

bodhi_zazensrhb: google is going to be your best bet, that sort of information is going to be very specialized20:00
srhbbodhi_zazen: It is, and I've had no luck on Google so far. All solutions need another Mac in order to make the USB bootable on Macs. Ah well.20:01
bodhi_zazensrhb: you can look at this : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomizationFromScratch20:01
G-H0STHi fellas, i have a... tiny problem :D20:02
bodhi_zazenyou will need to understand the mac boot process, once you do that it should be easy, but I do not know20:02
srhbbodhi_zazen: Thanks, but it has no relelvant information.20:02

bowoHow To, install ruby1.9 and earthquake Twitter Client Based Terminal20:02
G-H0SThow can i put my wifi card, which is usually getting between ETH0 and ETH1 to wlan0, if it isn't yet...20:02
sstasrhb: look at the hackintosh sites.  They have tweaked bootloaders for MAC that can boot USB20:02
srhbssta: Hm thanks, I hadn't thought of that20:03
G-H0STso example, lspci says its intel pro/wireless, blablabla. how to assign it to WLAN0?20:03
bodhi_zazensrhb: if that link is not relevant, you are probably out of luck20:03
srhbbodhi_zazen: I'm slowly coming to that conclusion as well. I love my Mac, but that it won't boot regularly from USB is just ridiculous.20:03

xruudHow can I fix having to fill in my password twice?20:04
sstaxruud: "fix"?20:05
bodhi_zazensrhb: I do not use your hardware at all, but I think you need to learn the internals of a live iso , which requires a ton of reading, and you find irrelevant, so you are stuck20:05

xruudssta: is it normal that you fill in your password at any prompt twice?20:05
G-H0STnoone? :(20:05
JoniiAlso, for what reason does my Ubuntu 11.10 crash pretty much always when I try to log out one user and then log in as another20:05
sstaxruud: only when you're changing it...20:05
xruudssta: see, fix...20:06
srhbbodhi_zazen: I am quite familiar with Live ISOs and rolling my own - the trouble here is making the Mac actually boot from USB. The article you linked has no information on the topic, hence the comment about it being irrelevant - sorry for being vague.20:06
donavan01anyone know if there is some magic dance or sacrifice I have to preform to steve to get an old G5 PPC Mac Pro tower to install Ubuntu?20:06
srhbBoot UBUNTU from USB, I should say.20:06
^jthi, is there a user version/equivelent of the init.d folder. Also, just to check this is actually what i'm looking for: any -x script put into the init.d folder will be run on startup?20:06
brontosaurusrexdonavan01, i think ppc is not officialy supported20:07
sstasrhb: it should be able to boot USB already (you know you need a GUID partition type?)20:07
srhbssta: No, but that's the kind of information I need. Can you point me in the direction of making that via Linux or Windows?20:08
G-H0STdmesg returns me with [ 75.somenumber] [DRM:Intel_prepare_page_flip] *ERROR* prepared flip multiple times20:08

xruudIs there any way to check what ubuntu is doing when I fill in my password? I have to enter it twice, everywhere. Something miust be wrong the first time20:09
reise6Is there a way to require root password to open a file by editing /etc/sudoers?20:09
sstasrhb: I think the tool to do it in Ubuntu is called "gdisk".  I've never had to though.  I imagine a google for something like "GUID partition create ubuntu" or soemthing might help20:09
srhbssta: Thanks. :)20:10
altf2oreise6: not sure if this is what you want, but you can always change the owner/group of the file to root:root (chown root:root <file>, chmod 0700 <file>) and only people who have 'sudo' permissions can edit/view it.20:11
reise6altf2o: Good idea. Thanks!20:12
hilariethrough cli how can you check your system load?20:13
ssta"uptime"20:13
hilariewoot uptime 3m :) ty20:14
bodhi_zazensrhb: OK, well you need to learn how a mac boots20:14
bodhi_zazenI assume they can boot a CD, so it is possible20:14
bodhi_zazenYou then incorporate that technology into your usb20:14
srhbbodhi_zazen: The way they boot from cds is apparently not the same way they boot from USB. I'm looking into it now, got some pointers from ssta. Thanks. :)20:14
bodhi_zazenwhich usually involves extracting the iso, making changes as necessary, and then re-packaging20:15
bodhi_zazenyea, you need to look at the internals of the boot process20:15
Fodi69hi, my ubuntu 11.10 can't find "easycrypt" in the software center, it is visible in the list when I search for it, but when I click it, it says that there is no such software in my current software sources??20:16
zmbmartinwhy is there a ppa for thunderbird 8 (thunderbird-stable) that works on 11.04 but not for 11.10?20:16
sstaiso is somewhat different.  iso as a format has a boot image that's loaded.  It's not the same as a disk, where there are two main (and a fair number of fringe) possibilities.  GUID and MBR.  (unhacked) MAC can only boot GUID I believe.20:17

JoniiThere's really no purpose for doing that other than, you know, seeing how it's done, how practical it is, and then taking those lessons and doing something else with that20:26

Joniibekks: though, now that you insist, I think that book should be available in at least one of the libraries I have access to22:23
bekksxxiao: All you could do is to create a share that is accesible for the internal network only. See man 5 exports for details.22:24

MultbrelchZeloZelos, and: Did it appear after an update of your ubuntu system?22:25
JoniiBy the way, how come there's virtually no documentation about anything Linux is and does?22:25
=== [[Satan]] is now known as ________________
bekksJonii: There are TONS of documentation about that - most of it you wont find in a library, unfortunately.22:26
KoolvinHey, I install ubuntu with a flash drive, and now it won't boot unless I boot from the flash drive. Did I accidentally install the MBR onto the flashdrive?22:26
Joniiman pages for specific commands, so if you know what you're going to do, and what commands you're going to use to do it, you can get some help. Then, other than that... Nothing that I can see. Maybe the source code is well documented, I don't know, but for an ordinary user, nothing22:26
plummerbJonii  Yes, Linux is community driven....  Therefore most documentation is found IN the community.  That is, online.22:26
urlin2uJonii, you have not been looking it is open source, everything including the code is available.22:27
bekksKoolvin: Not necessarily. Possibly you installed Ubuntu on the flash drive, too.22:27
ZeloZelosMultbrelch no22:27
Joniiplummerb: yeah, and I've been asking for some sort of an introduction texts on this channel for months. man intro and this linux bible 2010 have been the only hits I've gotten this far22:27
bekksJonii: There are gigabytes of documentation for almost every distro I know of.22:28
geoffmccJonii: i am no way advanced, but when i first started i just browsed around the forums and in launchpad answers22:28
plummerbJonii   I think O'Riley has a Linux in a Nutshell book out there...22:28
KoolvinBekks, df -h shows the usb not mounted22:28
bekksKoolvin: Then it is not mounted.22:28
Joniiurlin2u: sure it is. But it's a pretty big leap to assume that just to use ubuntu, I'm going to read and grok in entirety the whole source code(how many millions of lines is that?) of Ubuntu and necessary programs22:28
KoolvinIt does however show /dev/sda1 being the hdd22:28
KoolvinSo I'd assume it's on the harddrive22:29
KoolvinWill reinstalling grub fix my problem?22:29
nattier1Hi. I have installed restricted drivers (ATI graphics drivers - FGLRX). Everything seems to work ok except boot splashscreen - it's now big and ugly (very low resolution). How to fix this?22:29
MultbrelchZeloZelos, as I have written: second computer or may be second OS on your current computer22:29
bekksKoolvin: /dev/sda could be your usb disk too.22:29
bekksKoolvin: I assume you have it plugged in and booted into Ubuntu, right?22:29
MultbrelchZeloZelos, u can test your system by booting from a live CD22:29
JoniiI mean, aren't there any... You know, general guidelines, "You can do this, there's this, oh, you definitely should read more about this, here's a link, and then you should try out this.."22:30
KoolvinThe size of the disk is 500 gb, not the 8gb on the flash drive beasty_22:30
KoolvinBekks*22:30
bekksKoolvin: Depending on your BIOS, the device order may vary.22:30
MultbrelchZeloZelos, and with the live CD u test your audio/video stuff22:30
urlin2uJonii, you have to be careful not to project meaning into a set of words, ubuntu is one on the most covered as it has a rather large user base.22:30
KoolvinYes, but the harddrive shows 850mb used22:30
ZeloZelosMultbrelch i dual boot with vista, it does it on both22:30
KoolvinIt's cleanly formatted22:30
KoolvinIt was22:30
bekksKoolvin: Then you have to fix your grub(2) install.22:30
ZeloZelosMultbrelch it seems worse in vista22:30
KoolvinWhich would mean reinstalling grub?22:30
bekksKoolvin: No, fixing it.22:31
Joniiurlin2u: yeah, that's what I thought. And that's precisely why I'm shocked by how there just doesn't seem to be that much documentation about anything. Like, some detached tips here and there, if you know what google keywords to look for22:31
MultbrelchZeloZelos, so then the probability of an issue with the hardware of your audio is higher (in the comp)22:31
MultbrelchZero, its a laptop?22:31

urlin2uJonii, what you may not realize though is that there are 100's of linux distro and many more, but although they may seem different, fundamentally they are quite similar not sure it help to know that but the desktops are what makes them seem different the most I think.22:33
JoniiThis lack of results is actually so surprising that I refuse to believe it. I think there are some good internet resources that tell you what's linux and what's it good for, but that I haven't found yet. Hence me asking about that every day or two22:34

plummerbJonii  Linux is an extremely complex operating system.  The "distributions" attempt to customize it for various users.  If you are fining that it just doesn't meet your needs you may need to look at Mac or Windows.22:36
plummerbLinux isn't for everyone.22:37
frs9dothat is true22:37
urlin2uJonii, what you may not know as well as far as what its for is that 70% of the fastest soper computers run Linux the large hadron collider runs linux about half the servers on the net google , facebook, government computers in many countries use linux, many time it is a backdrop to others working quietly in the background.22:37
Multbrelchplummerb, is Windows more easy to understand? ;-)22:37
geoffmccJonii: might i suggest google search on how to setup php apache and mysql in ubuntu and then do it, then get a blog going. this will a. get you started on a project and then b. give you a place to write up some tutorials or daily journal of your ubuntu experience22:37
JoniiLike, lemme share you my plight: I've been looking for information about Linux user system for a week now. I've been asking here, I've been reading several wiki articles about that, and asking on other irc channels. Only yesterday I was finally told what users _ARE_ in Linux. No one had that written down anywhere I could find22:37
frs9dowindows is the easier OS22:37
frs9dono question about that22:38
GTRsdkMultbrelch: not when it says that you have registry issues :(22:38
MultbrelchGTRsdk, :-)22:38
frs9doBut doesn't always mean better22:38
bekksfrs9do: It is just more colourful.22:38
jutnuxJonii, sudo apt-get install lamp-server^ phpmyadmin22:38
jutnuxln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin /var/www/phpmyadmin22:38
frs9doNo its not, the way it handles packages is far more easier22:38
frs9doLike EXE files22:38
jutnuxfrs9do, Ubuntu uses .deb?22:39
plummerbJonii  That's more of a "how do computers work" question.  Not a linux question.22:39
geoffmccjutnux: thats the easy way, i was suggesting it to him as a learning experience22:39
frs9dowe download something on linux and its a diamond shape thing22:39
slucidiAnyone have some experience with 11.10 + multi-gpu?22:39
JoniiIt's like this for everything. I ask the same question over and over again, go over stuff that is in format of tips for achieving something when I seek to understand how it works, and I never do. Unless I get very lucky, as I got with that user thing, and I got someone knowledgeable to explain it to me in depth22:39
Multbrelchfrs9do, I changed to Linux because I had NO CLUE about Windows at the end. Linux is so transparent ...22:39
frs9doI downloading MANDVD22:39
jutnuxgeoffmcc, try that, but if there if he is finding it too hard that'd be a quicker way!22:39
frs9doANd its some diamond22:39
frs9dogod knows what to do with it22:39
frs9doIf it was windows, it would be an EXE22:39
shaxsHello, Im trying to install http://www.skifta.com which gives a linux .bin file. Using http://www.ehow.com/how_4578189_install-bin-file-ubuntu-linux.html I was able to launch the Skifta installer. I put the install directory as /home/.skifta but it installed the software to its default which is /root/skifta. Now my question is, how do I launch the application? All that is in the /root/skifta/ directory is zoom.bootstrap22:39
frs9doANd life would be easier22:39
geoffmccjutnux: yea he not even trying to install apache or anything, i was suggesting that he does as a project for him.22:40
Joniiplummerb: as far as I can tell, it's very much a linux question because there are several ways you could handle a thing called "user" with a computer. I wanted to know how that concept was implemented in Linux22:40
mcbainehttp://www.amazon.co.uk/Western-Digital-Elements-Multimedia-Drive/dp/tech-data/B003WE8RW4/ref=de_a_smtd   anybody got  an ubuntu version of a media-box-pc ????22:40
jutnuxgeoffmcc, probably a better idea to be honest!22:40
geoffmccJonii: you are the user, plain and simple22:40
jutnuxmcbaine, system76 do a media pc!22:40
Joniigeoffmcc: for linux, it's not me. It's the processes that I run, which are given rights to files based on my user ID, that form an interface between me and the kernel22:41

kharloss bekks, my big problem now is i have to wait until tomorow night, because everything looks fine23:03

rashidhi23:05
rashidhello23:05
slucidixruud: for the purposes of my question, more or less.  have you tried changing your password?23:05
xruudslucidi: I'm kind of new on Linux, took me 13 years to finally leave it installed since trying it out several times ;)23:05
Jordan_Uxruud: Can you pastebin the output from an attempt with su? The output should not contain your password.23:06
bekksxruud: No. The first account created (asked while installing ubuntu), only does have a membership in the admin group, which allow the usage of sudo.23:06
plummerbfrs9do  Honestly, I've downloaded it and I can't get it to launch...23:06
slucidixruud: no problem ;) on ubuntu, the actual root account is locked and your personal account takes root power via sudo, usually.23:06
bekksUsing su will fail, since root has no password set, so you cannot login as root. You can use sudo instead.23:06
Phoenix87is anyone experiencing the kworker issue with 11.10?23:07
