=== Teh_RiX is now known as RiXtEr [00:00] slucidi: No such luck :( === pilotbub is now known as brodolph [00:01] slucidi: We have been trying for an hour now. It is getting late over here (1am)... [00:01] xruud: drat =/ I still think it's related to LightDM, but I'm out of ideas short of removing it and going back to GDM. I'm rather unwilling to suggest you actually do that though, unless you're desperate. Here's a link to the bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/851055 [00:01] Launchpad bug 851055 in lightdm (Ubuntu Oneiric) "[Oneiric] 'Not Authorized' error given when mounting device" [Critical,Fix released] [00:01] :xruud ahh yeah =/ sorry about that friend. [00:01] slucidi: Thanks for your help [00:02] :xruud you might try following that thread and just waiting for an update to come through [00:02] slucidi: I have another option: reinstall. But how does that guarantee anything... [00:02] :xruud yeah, that doesn't necessarily promise you anything. [00:02] slucidi: everything I have is backed up, So I can mindelssly reinstall [00:03] I seem to have started swapping my colons at some point... [00:03] xruud: might not be a completely awful choice then. (I've during the last hour and a half reinstalled about 6 times trying to get xorg and various other issues to cooperate with my multiple gpu setup...) [00:03] slucidi: Well, it worked in the beginning, but I get your point. Noticed your colons :P [00:04] lol [00:04] slucidi: I'm having a breagleboard that won't start 11.10 with keyboard and mouse [00:04] beagleboard.. [00:04] ugh [00:05] I wouldn't start 11.10 on any HW [00:05] how do I use http rapper [00:05] slucidi: It boots ubuntu just fine, but gets stuck at config because I cannot enter any info [00:05] fatto [00:06] trihedron: Is it that bad? It is the first ever ubuntu I found good enough to not erase after a few hours :P [00:06] trihedron: or linux for that matter [00:06] xruud: heh, that's baffling. I don't know a thing about getting stuff running on an arm board though [00:06] as an old ubuntu hat... I'm perfectly happy with 11.10 ;) [00:06] * trihedron won't update from 11.04 till unity gets a whole lot better [00:07] you could use gnome-shell instead of unity [00:07] slucidi: I'm still learning. Must get the keys or anything working to advance though. Right now I'm staring at a language choice window [00:07] unity isn't likely to change [00:07] too much [00:07] well easy enough on 11.04 [00:07] It's an Ubuntu world [00:07] on 11.10 i'd have to install it first [00:08] trihedron: I think it's base in 11.10 unless I installed it in my sleep [00:08] nope it isn't [00:08] or i was asleep [00:08] well, at any rate since 11.10 is based on gnome 3 it's much less painful to get it running [00:08] trihedron: since I started ubuntu with 11.10 I can tell you I know no others then Unity [00:08] it doesn't break everything when installed like it does in 11.04 [00:10] I am curious, is Unity a different gui from gnome or what? :x Today was my first time really dealing with unity [00:10] I like 11.04 as it is and I don't see any reason to upgrade [00:10] trihedron: I will try 11.04 for beagleboard though. Going down in versions until I find a working one! [00:10] unity suck, go mint! [00:10] how old is that board ? [00:10] no mint isn't as compatible [00:10] trihedron: beagleboard-mx rev c [00:10] trihedron: install xfce4 and use that instead [00:11] in years ? [00:11] compatible with unity? [00:11] !mint | ratc [00:11] ratc: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [00:11] ActionParsnip, that might be an idea [00:11] trihedron: there are more desktops than gnome [00:11] trihedron: production date unknown, I got it a week ago [00:11] trihedron: could also try gnome-shell instead of Unity [00:12] ratc: changing to a smaller community for the sake of something as easily changable as a desktop shell makes no sense at all [00:12] I plaed with most gnome versions including mate but I still thinkg gnome3 is pretty cool [00:12] does ubuntu work well on ssd? Does it use TRIM? [00:12] xruud: my reading suggests that the arm version of 11.04 works well on the beagle [00:12] i'm just throwing out bate :P === jsurfer_ is now known as jsurfer [00:13] droidDev32: not sure of trim but it can be installed to SSDs [00:14] slucidi: Thanks! Do you have a source? I tried several versions before trying 11.10 which was the first to actually boot past expanding [00:14] xruud: yep! one sec while I get you a link [00:14] droidDev32: according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRIM ext4 supports TRIM [00:14] I need some help here with really slow performance with my nVidia card and OpenGL drivers [00:15] droidDev32: http://sites.google.com/site/lightrush/random-1/howtoconfigureext4toenabletrimforssdsonubuntu [00:15] xruud: you've probably already seen this, but this is what I was reading: http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardUbuntu [00:15] droidDev32, 11.10 can handle trim however it's better to setup batched trim.. instead of mounting with trim [00:16] apparently the kernel sends too much commands if trim is a mount option [00:16] Do you think i could dual boot a 60gb ssd with Windows 7 and ubuntu or would it be betterto just install ubuntu on my hdd? [00:17] 60gb is going to be tight in about a year [00:17] I used to run my laptop with a CompactFlash-SSD so to say.. [00:18] slucidi: Actually no... I have seen several pages on elinux, but noen of those refer to this one, but to external sources which I all followed [00:18] and it worked fine with ubuntu.. however I would not advice under any circumstance to forcefully turn off the laptop.. [00:18] Going to try this one tomorrow morning! [00:18] do not put your home filesystem on the ssd.. and make sure the var is not on the ssd [00:19] droidDev32: that will not work well. What would the system be used for? [00:19] xruud: cool =] have fun with it and good luck [00:19] slucidi: Thanks again, thanks a bunch and thank you ;) [00:20] also put your browser cache in tempfs :) [00:20] not a problem, glad to be a help ;) sorry we couldn't get your login issues sorted [00:20] just android coding and other random stuff === max is now known as Guest56733 [00:20] slucidi: I'm going to reinstall... [00:21] slucidi: and make an image of the installation! [00:21] if you have to run the whole system with only one device, mount a tmpfs where the .mozilla folder is and backup/restore it's contents before shutting down/rebooting or any other mischief [00:21] How to update my nVidia drivers? What is the latest version? [00:21] as long as you keep you /home in a safe place .. [00:21] xruud: good idea, hehe. that's probably what I'd do at this point === slucidi_ is now known as slucidi [00:22] how am I supposed to start services in Ubuntu 11.10? [00:22] trihedron: All backed up [00:22] wolfman3k5: does 'sudo service start' do the trick for you? [00:22] how should i partition a 2tb hdd to shate data between windows 7 and ubuntu? Should I just use NTFS? [00:22] could get an iRAM [00:23] droidDev32: yes, both OSes can access NTFS just dandy [00:23] for example "service apache2 restart" doesn't work in 11.19 [00:23] for example "service apache2 restart" doesn't work in 11.10 [00:23] Do you have to setup automounting of NTFS in 11.10? [00:23] or /etc/init.d/apache2 restart [00:24] trihedron: In fact, yesterday a salesmen was trying to sell me more expensive micro sd cards because they where safer to keep your data on. I felt the urge to argue no single storage device on the market will be safe anyway so I'd take the cheaper please [00:24] trihedron obviously you haven't used 11.10... [00:24] droidDev32, NTFS is slowwwwww [00:24] wolfman3k5: I don [00:24] xruud, whatever you use can poptentially lose the date [00:24] err. I don't have that problem [00:24] droidDev32, NTFS can bring a quadcore to it's knees [00:25] you did actually install apache2, yes? [00:25] wolfman3k5, for 10 minutes and then i downgraded [00:25] hi. where to find the postfix log? its not in /var/log [00:25] trihedron to what? 10.04? [00:25] 11.04 [00:25] trihedron: exactly the point. But I went with the easier "no thank you, I'll take the cheaper please" Didn't want to be the wiseguy, or emberrass him because the store was filled with customers :P [00:25] trihedron why? [00:25] lapion, what do you recommend for a data partition for widows and ubuntu to access? [00:25] droidDev32, use fat, and create 2 partitions [00:25] hey, whats the bar thing called that holds open windows? [00:26] wolfman3k5, i hate unity [00:26] fat is not robust [00:26] hi. where to find the postfix log? its not in /var/log ? [00:26] and 11.04 gived me what i need [00:26] droidDev32: ntfs. don't use fat, please. [00:26] Anyway; 1:30am over here, going to zzzzzzzzzz [00:26] Thanks all [00:26] eg; there's a menu bar and a bar. Whats the name I'm looking for where minimized applications go? [00:26] trihedron: you don't have to use unity in Oneiric, KDE doesn't use it (for example) [00:26] droidDev32, I would suggest either getting rid of windows, or just sharing the hdd over the network from the ubuntu system and creating ext4fs [00:26] !notunity | trihedron [00:26] trihedron: 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 === Guest87002 is now known as Dream [00:27] hi. where to find the postfix log? its not in /var/log ?? [00:27] trihedron why? [00:27] wolfman3k5: I don't think you actually apt-get installed apache2... 'service apache2 start' works for me. can you show me a pastebin of its output? [00:27] thanks Jordan_U [00:28] trihedron: You're welcome. [00:28] I have the following sudoers line: tomcat ALL = (apache) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/apachectl. How can I specify that apachectl may only be called with certain flags? [00:28] slucidi I just rebuilt my distro on Linode, so it's a fresh install [00:28] Hi everyone, I'm trying to launch etherape using sudo etherape but it gives me: Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0 [00:29] slucidi, i'm pretty sure /etc/init.d/apache2 restart will also work on 111.10 [00:29] wolfman3k5: then you'll need to 'sudo apt-get install apache2' if you want to run it from a fresh install. ;) [00:29] ActionParsnip, yeah at least fat doesn't bring a ubuntu quadcore system to it [00:29] trihedron: it does. wolfman3k5: make sure you installed apache2, as slucidi just stated. [00:29] ActionParsnip, 's knees like ntfs does [00:29] slucidi you're right, I just did a SSH restart [00:29] slucidi my bad [00:29] no problem =] [00:30] slucidi I won't install Apache 2 anymore. I will go NGINX this time [00:30] lapion: yes but a sudden power off will possibly destroy data, which is more important [00:30] slucidi root@tek:~# service ssh restart [00:30] ssh start/running, process 2391 [00:30] ActionParsnip, only data that was being written to.. usually tha hapens to all fs.. [00:30] slucidi does that look familiar ?:) [00:31] lapion: i've had to hard power off MANY windows servers and had no issues [00:31] wolfman3k5: hehe yep, your install is working fine, you just need to install the packages you want to use to run your webserver via apt ;) [00:31] (or other chosen installation method) [00:32] ActionParsnip, never had a windows system that would allways go bsod ? [00:32] slucidi I will go with NGINX - MYSQL - PFM-PHP and POSTFIX + DOVECOT for mail [00:32] sometimes the problem get's solved by fsck the ntfs from linux [00:33] ActionParsnip, if the file is being written to the file is suspect... [00:33] lapion: we have a number of known annoying servers, they get hard booted a few times but managment wont get new [00:33] lapion: usually after a scheduled reboot (Citrix box) [00:33] citrix was yesterday [00:33] slucidi I want to install Ubuntu on my desktop as well, but I got dual Radeon 6950 XFire cards, and I need to Kill X the first time it boots so that I can install AMD proprietary drivers. How do I do that? I haven't plaid with X in years, so my memory is kinda funny [00:34] fuzzy [00:34] should not firefox 8 be out by now? [00:34] spacebug-: it is [00:34] trihedron: loads of companies use it [00:34] spacebug- it is... looks and performs like 7, which looked and performed like 6, which was more like 5, which was a rename of 4... [00:34] spacebug-: http://www.techdrivein.com/2011/07/firefox-8-is-20-faster-than-firefox-5.html [00:34] ActionParsnip: apt-get update dont seem to find it [00:34] ActionParsnip, well there is still plenty shops out there on novell 3.22 [00:34] wolfman3k5: boot into a recovery console from the grub boot menu. [00:35] spacebug-: its in a ppa, not the official repos [00:35] ah ok [00:35] Richie086 I did that, and started the system as root, and then it keeps telling me that everything is read-only [00:35] trihedron: contact nvidia and ask how they manager thier HR [00:35] nn ActionParsnip [00:35] wolfman3k5: you shouldn't need to outright kill xorg to install the drivers. but at any rate you can do ctrl-alt-f1 to get to a virtual terminal, log in, and then use kill to end the process. or just install the drivers from the command line that way [00:36] wolfman3k5: yeah what slucidi just said, [00:36] how do I move every file in the current directory with a particular string into a certain folder using the terminal? [00:36] wolfman3k5: sudo service lightdm stop will safely stop X [00:36] wolfman3k5: To kill X, Ctrl-Alt-F6, login and do service gdm stop [00:36] slucidi I need to because I got a CrossFire setup, so after a fresh install I get black screens on my dual monitor setups ... with blinking lights, which means that the monitors are not getting a signal [00:36] usr13_ 10x allot:) [00:36] ActionParsnip: do you know which ppa? =) [00:36] sudo service gdm stop [00:37] how do I get the gnome traditional desktop on 11.10? [00:37] wolfman3k5: Stop. Before you continue installing proprietary drivers this way, why aren't you using the recommended "Additional Drivers" utility? [00:37] machiolate: fine /path/to/folder | grep -i string -exec mv {} /path/to/desk \; [00:37] spacebug-: read the link I gave you.... [00:37] office3 I actually like Unitity... then again, I've been using Mac OS X for years [00:37] office3: gnome 2 is dead, the sooner you start using a current desktop the easier you'll find it in the long run [00:37] office3, install gnome-panel [00:37] spacebug-: that's why I gave you it [00:37] wolfman3k5: But as Jordan_U states, it is best to use the package management system. [00:38] sudo apt-get install gnome-panel thanks! [00:38] office3: xfce4 smells and feels like Gnome2 [00:38] wolfman3k5: And it will be easier too. [00:38] Jordan_U because I didn't know about it :) I have just recently switched from Debian to Ubuntu, and in Debian I was constantly hacking stuff because everything was always old or outdated [00:38] he just said he can't actually see anything when the machine comes up... he just needed guidance to get to a virtual terminal methinks [00:38] machiolate: duplicated names will overwrite the old one. Could alos use cp instead of mv [00:39] slucidi that's right [00:39] Anyone know any really good games for ubuntu/linux? Something with an awesome storyline or some kind of adventure game? magic, medievil, shooter, etc... all are cool with me. [00:39] office3: ActionParsnip is correct, it sure does. You can easily make it look and feel like 10.04 [00:39] usr13_ Jordan_U slucidi > How do I get the Additional Drivers Utility? [00:39] ... old school gnome2 [00:39] uses fewer resources too [00:39] sure does === Veil is now known as Nath === Nath is now known as Nath- [00:40] what does the find path/to/folder do Action? is that necessary if i'm already in an adjacent directory? [00:40] ActionParsnip I don't know if there is anything heavier on resources than Windows [00:40] wolfman3k5: Search for "drivers" in the unity dashboard. [00:40] where are the repositories for karmic ? [00:40] i can see the folder i want if i do "ls" [00:40] wolfman3k5: My horse is. [00:40] machiolate: then you can omit the path, I just added it for completeness [00:40] Jordan_U I can't get any king of GUI working [00:41] Jordan_U so I can't get to a dashboard [00:41] usr13: you have a horse? [00:41] ActionParsnip: well I got version 11 with that hehe [00:41] psychx- usr13 was joking [00:41] Windows Vista and 7 are resource pigs [00:41] wolfman3k5: How long have you not been able to get any GUI? Did you need to use the alternate installer to install Ubuntu or did X work from the Ubuntu LiveCD/USB? [00:41] sure do [00:41] wolfman3k5: oh :( i wanted to ask a few questions about horses... thinking about buying a lot of property and building a home... was thinking of getting a horse or two.. lol [00:41] any one know what i'm meant to use in sources.list in 9.10 ? since the locations seem to have just dissapeared. [00:42] action what is path to desk? you mean the path to the target folder? [00:42] wolfman3k5: Depends on config, install KDE and add all the widgets you can find and it'll blow up nicely [00:42] sorry my misstake [00:42] Nath-: they have moved to oldreleases.ubuntu.com [00:42] spacebug-: thats the nightly, there is a stable ppa which should have 8 [00:42] thankyou [00:42] wolfman3k5: 7's not so bad. it's a big improvement over Vista at least. and 8's shaping up to be even less resource heavy if the dev preview is any indication.

[00:43] wolfman3k5: So you were able to install from the liveCD but on the first boot after installing X failed to start? === xGrindoff is now known as xGrind [00:43] didn't work, nm [00:43] I have that same issue with my multigpu (nonsli) nvidia setup.. liveCD works great, actual install segfaults xorg [00:43] ActionParsnip: I'm sunning oneiric, just choosed the wring ppa from that site. Sorry [00:43] Jordan_U yep, you nailed it [00:43] Jordan_U: you have no input rule [00:43] oops [00:43] jstarcher: you have no input rule probably [00:43] jstarcher: Not sure.... [00:44] ikonia: ah I think you're right [00:44] what should I add for an input rule? [00:44] Is there a fix for really low framerates in OpenGL? [00:44] wolfman3k5: Very odd. What did happen the first time you tried to boot after installing? [00:44] depends on your setup and what you want to do, there are some good iptables guides and the channel #netfilter [00:44] ikonia: thanks [00:45] spacebug-: according to http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/11/firefox-8-officially-released/ it will be added to the official repos soon [00:45] man, i cooked bacon in the oven this morning and the darn grease nearly caught fire, still smells smokey in here [00:45] ActionParsnip: ok [00:45] machiolate: Trun the fire down next time.

[00:52] HI all anyone here familiar with JACKD I am having a heck of a time.. getting it to run? [00:55] Maybe I'm missing a setting in the nVidia driver that would improve the OpenGL performance? [00:55] Jordan_U same thing happened. I have been using Linux since the 90's (1996), and X always did this when it couldn't get allong with a pice of GFX hardware [00:55] Jordan_U I just forgot how to kill X [00:57] wolfman3k5: Same thing being what? You can use the terminal based front end, "sudo jockey-text" to enable the proprietary drivers. [01:05] Hello, I just updated to ubuntu 11.10 and now it won't start. I'm wondering where I should start looking for answers. [01:05] Do you get any messages concerning it's trying to start? [01:06] I suppose from this, you could then search about on the forums [01:06] m1ck3y: What does it do? Do you get a grub error? [01:06] Question: Does anybody else get a performance drop when they have the ati graphics drivers installed? [01:06] Elda: I have a dual-booted machine. I start it, GRUB starts and I pick Ubuntu and then it goes to the purple Ubuntu loading screen. That's where it hangs and I can hear my hard drive stop spinning.

If I remove the drive fstab the drive won't mount period. When i boot the computer Ubuntu stands at an error screen stating there are "serious errors" with my drive. I've pulled it out and ran chkdsk on win7 to clean it with the same issue occuring at boot. This wouldn't be a problem if I could always be in front of the PC when I reboot it. Any sugges [01:09] robin0800: Unity2D doesn't require compositing. [01:09] robin0800, hmmm, it seems to be really slowing down my opengl performance [01:09] usr13: yeah, grub works fine. Also I tried going into recovery mode( a bit beyond me) but I can get into the terminal with recovery mode and see my files and everything.

[01:20] yea im using Ubuntu ,just came from Mint :) [01:20] nvm [01:20] Jordan_u thx [01:20] its working now for some reason [01:20] how do I start troubleshooting a 11.10 system that occasionally freezes - I have checked syslog but don't see anything [01:21] tompa: You're welcome. [01:21] thanks anyway :D [01:22] itaylor57 it says that 3.7 is available on 10.10 and yet i don't see it on synaptic, even tho i have all the repositories in universe available :S [01:24] joeyeye: is ram healthy? [01:24] ActionParsnip, AFAIK ram is OK - it is a new system. Would I run memtest ? I have 16GB RAM. [01:26] Im having a problem with youtube. My youtube video-window is smaller than it should be, I do not have a "maximize screen" button and its not working to watch the video 9/10 times. It looks like my computer think that the actual youtube page is a link as in facebook, with smaller layout. How do I fix this? [01:26] link: http://imageshack.us/f/28/screenshotat20111119015.png/ [01:26] konam, did you run sudo apt-get update after making universe available? [01:26] joeyeye: when its convenient (overnight) I would [01:27] tompa: does it happen in all browsers? [01:27] itaylor57 yea, of course [01:27] ActionParsnip yes, atleast firefox and chrome [01:28] I installed ubuntu server on my computer, but to access the internet I need to log in via a web form (due to our school's network policy). but I don't have lynx-cur or links installed on it, so can't authenticate. is there a way I can install those from the ubuntu cd instead?

[01:33] you'd have to check the linux kernel package configuration [01:34] actionparsnip okey i think i made it. http://paste.ubuntu.com/742844/ [01:34] anyone know how to get rid of the unity taskbar and put a more classic one in? or should I look at getting an earlier distro? I like the aspect of being able to hit the tab key to get an instant program search; but i can't seem to make it work with compiz desktop cube; which i really like alot... any advice out there? [01:34] !eclipse maverick > itaylor57 [01:35] (windows key, not tab key :) [01:35] !nounity | Guest87318 [01:35] Guest87318: 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 [01:35] actionparsnip did u get the text? [01:36] hello [01:36] i was using a program that changed my samba shares password, but it changed my sudo password somehow, and now i can't change it back because i don't know what it is!!! D: [01:36] thanks robin0800 [01:36] what is a good laptop brand that supports ubuntu [01:36] how can i reset it? :( [01:36] @tensorpudding, how would I go about checking the linux kernel package configuration? [01:36] bromichaelhenry, you can download the source package [01:37] basically recompilt the kernel? [01:37] *recompile [01:37] brodolph, http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/linux-image [01:37] sorry [01:37] bromichaelhenry, ^ [01:38] Lol [01:38] pick the one you use [01:38] kenalex, hard to say system 76 has laptops with ubuntu installed. [01:39] then you'll have to trudge around to see what make config it uses, i suppose [01:40] kenalex, ubuntu and linux is in general will run on just about any most of the time, you would really look for the boards and cards not covered really. [01:42] I accidentally pressed crtl-alt-f2. Now what? [01:42] aight, I think ActionParsnip left :( [01:42] Im having a problem with youtube. My youtube video-window is smaller than it should be, I do not have a "maximize screen" button and its not working to watch the video 9/10 times. It looks like my computer think that the actual youtube page is a link as in facebook, with smaller layout. How do I fix this? [01:43] screenshot: http://imageshack.us/f/28/screenshotat20111119015.png/ [01:43] its the same problem in all browsers [01:43] Or in other words, how do I restart my xserver? [01:44] tompa: Do they all look that way? [01:44] tompa: How about in FF? [01:44] user13 it looks the same in all browsers, and all videos [01:45] hi [01:45] i learned a few new tricks [01:45] Nevermind, startx won't work, since it's still there [01:46] my computer got hacked a few days ago [01:47] tompa: Is your system fully updated? [01:47] tompa: I think it is a function of youtube. [01:47] usr13 yes :S [01:48] tompa: I do not think there is anything wrong with your system. [01:49] where are most program files usually kept in linux? [01:49] tompa: YOu could download the video and see what size it really is if you want, but other than that, I don't think there is anything to fix. Probably just showing the videos in their actual sizes. [01:49] machiolate: /usr/ or /var/lib/ or /opt just depends. [01:49] machiolate, binaries (the part you run) go in /usr/bin [01:50] machiolate: What do you need? [01:50] machiolate, /usr/share contains a lot of extra files related to programs [01:50] im looking for xchat .conf files actually [01:50] hi all i can use espeak with input microphone? [01:50] machiolate: Most config files are in /etc/ [01:51] usr13 okey... i can change quality but then it freezes [01:51] machiolate, configuration files end up in /etc, but user-specific configuration is in ~/.config/ [01:51] ahh, so in linux not all of a programs files would go to one place, got it [01:51] for xchat ,maybe in ~/.xchat2/ [01:51] you should configure xchat using the configuration stuff that xchat provides [01:51] tompa: That is an issue between youtube and adobe flashplayer, (or which ever streaming source and which ever flashplayer) [01:52] editing files could leave the config in an unusable state [01:52] usr13 i do u think it could work - reinstalling flash? [01:52] machiolate: What do you need to do? [01:52] tompa: I doubt it. [01:52] tompa: Which flash player do you have installed now? [01:53] adobe? [01:53] I've found it thanks, was just trying to mess with xchat .conf files to change my colors/settings [01:53] usr13 10,3,181,34 [01:53] tompa: adobe? [01:54] usr13 i think so, i looked it up from a google hit. It said i had that version [01:55] usr13 i installed the plugins for flash today as i installed ubuntu a moment before [01:55] that is probably new enough. Again, the flash player you have is prolly just viewing the videos in the size they are sent. I do not think there is anything wrong with your system. [01:56] need some direction to speedup xubuntu performance [01:56] worrow: turn off X [01:56] !classic [01:56] The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity.

For 11.10, see !notunity [01:56] removing start-ups and unnecessary services [01:56] how do I turn off X? [01:56] worrow: sudo gdm stop [01:57] the default terminal in ubuntu is alittle bit transparent (= not opaque) I think that messes a little bit with the vim colour themes I want to use, is that possible? if so, is there a way to remove all transparency from the terminal? [01:58] where do I even find terminal in xubuntu? [01:58] !nounity [01:58] 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".

[01:59] felipe_, yes the prefernecs is in the top window bar. [01:59] sudo gdm does not exist [01:59] i removed 2nd taskbar [01:59] worrow: But you already have a lean system. That is what xubuntu is all about. [02:00] I need it to be speedy like peppermint was [02:00] I have low resources [02:00] worrow: service --status-all [02:00] worrow, if you need a ubuntu platform lubuntu is lighter still [02:01] lubuntu install failed so I came to xubuntu [02:01] Was using peppermint but suffered graphic issues rebooting all the time [02:01] worrow: Lubuntu is even lower :) [02:01] urlin2u: xubuntu uses xfce and that is pretty darn light weight. [02:01] ActionParsnip: sexubuntu for all your pornoraphic needs [02:01] pornographic too [02:02] Lubuntu install failed. read previous [02:02] or even just openbox, no DE [02:02] Yea, openbox [02:02] usr13, just stating the facts.

See !classic [02:02] should i choose downloading adobe flashplayer 11 for : ubuntu (.apt), linux (rpm) 64bit, linux (.tar.gz) 64bit, linux (YUM) 64bit? Im using ubuntu 11.10 64bit [02:03] tompa: Sure. Go for it. [02:03] which one? [02:03] 4 different :) [02:03] tompa: enable the partner repo and install adobe-flashplugin [02:03] YOur OS is Ubuntu. Right? [02:04] tompa: it will even install 64bit flash if you have 64bit OS [02:04] tompa: ubuntu (.apt) === hockey737|cloud is now known as hockeyfamily737 [02:04] using the repo gets you updates when the repo gets updated [02:05] actionparsnip, sounds good where can i enable "repo"?

[02:11] sure [02:11] poopi: We need more context than that. Where are you seeing this option? [02:11] right clicking the exe file [02:11] seelcting properties [02:11] poopi: Do you have wine installed? [02:11] Yes [02:12] poopi: Well, you should be good to go then. But just depends on what type of file it is and what it does or is supposed to do. [02:12] poopi: Are you sure that the option isn't "Allow executing file as program"? [02:12] I think it works as it should now, i did first try search for adobe flash in software manage but could find it (must have spelled wrong or something) ... thank you! [02:12] poopi: Someone once told me that coupters will do exactly what you tell them to, but just not always what you want them to do.

If this was downloaded or copied from an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run. For more details, read about the executable bit.

[02:17] <_needhelp> s [02:17] tompa: In the search box, type: adobe [02:18] poopi: Easiest thing to do is to copy it to your Ubuntu partition, set it as executable, and run it from there. [02:18] ok [02:19] poopi, if you use wine from cli -- "wine /path/tontfs/foo.exe" it won't bother with permissions [02:19] ok I iwll try that [02:19] I have been playing with 'Linux' and 'Ubuntu' on an old pc for a few months.

I assume I need to add acpi=off into the grub boot loader but am not sure how. any ideas? [02:31] Flynsarmy: hold shift at boot and you can hit E to edit the kernel for one boot [02:31] Flynsarmy: edit /etc/default/grub, add it to the options (after quiet and the other stuff), and then run update-grub for a permanant solution [02:31] ActionParsnip: yea i'm in there now. I wasn't sure which line I needed to add acpi=off to [02:33] ActionParsnip: the end of the linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.0.0.12-generic line? the initrd /boot/initrd.img-3.0.0-12-generic line? its own line? [02:39] OK, seems it goes at the end of the linux /boot line [02:41] Flynsarmy: however the: quiet splash is, copy that style, could put it in that line too :) [02:42] how should I go about installing the latest boost libraries (1.48)?

[03:35] I want to install rkroothunter, but apt-get wants to install postfix as well with it. Why? [03:35] there is a separate one for CPU in acpi. [03:35] wolfman3k5: because it's a dependancy? [03:36] Il est dix heures trente-six [03:36] almoxarife: there is a separate one for CPU in acpi. How can I check the settings? [03:36] almoxarife and you just always install blindly what apt wants you to install without questioning the logic of it? do you even know what rkhunter is? [03:37] the_regurgitator yes the tv works independently but it will not display what is on my computer [03:37] gemunu: the applet should have a settings menu [03:37] Hello.

I am installing a server right now. I can't figure out for the life of me why it wants postfix installed [03:39] wolfman3k5: I wouldn't normally suggest this, google it? [03:40] almoxarife I did google it, couldn't find anything decent on the subject, just a bunch of other people wondering the same thing [03:40] the_regurgitator: How do I do that? [03:41] http://www.postfix.org/ <-- wolfman3k5, I am guessing it wants to email you? [03:41] guys [03:41] ah postfix for report [03:42] wolfman3k5: I wonder if rkhunter sends email when it finds something worthwhile?

[03:54] Ubuntu and Debian are the best distros. Debian is like Mr. Miagy and Ubuntu is like the young Karate Kid [03:54] do you prefer the LTS or newer version [03:54] elite499 DONT COME TO IRC TO TEST OTHER PEOPLE FOR SAKE OF FUN [03:54] LTS for sure [03:54] elite499 are you installing on a server? [03:54] i agree with wolfman [03:54] anyone knows similar software to SunBird for Ubuntu?

[03:55] yes [03:55] linuxuz3r: how do you mean BIOS resets? [03:55] elite499 I'm installing 11.10 on a brand new server right now on Linode. I need decent NGINX suppor badly, and 11.10 has it [03:55] elite499 chill but ask genuine questions lol [03:55] linuxuz3r: i also have that, sometimes. Asus Netbook 1201N [03:55] anybody? good firewall? [03:55] lol <3 [03:55] wolfman3k5: they have thier place, other distros will excel in other situations :) [03:55] elite499 right out of the box [03:55] HackNewton: I found that the lightning addon for thunderbird v similar [03:55] !firewall | seawookie [03:55] seawookie: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE Lucid and Maverick) also exist. [03:55] seawookie ufw [03:55] oh very nice wolfman [03:55] linuxuz3r just remove the battery or short the pins lol [03:55] ive been setting mine up for a while now [03:56] seawookie ufw firewall - just apt-get install ufw [03:56] i installed ubuntu desktop as well [03:56] i have ufw [03:56] ufw ftw [03:56] i was just wondering if there are any other better ones? [03:56] ActionParsnip, when i shutdown ubuntu and turn on my computer again it failes to boot on post so now the settings on my bios is screwed up [03:56] its all just a gui for iptables.... [03:56] elite499 for desktop Bleeding Edge all the way:) [03:56] linuxuz3r: is the motherboard old(ish) [03:56] wooo hooo :) [03:56] ActionParsnip ufw is actually a complete firewall solution [03:56] i like it [03:57] linuxuz3r do you get cmos error? [03:57] nope [03:57] wolfman3k5: I see, I've always let my router do it :) [03:57] but i cant get past post the system reboots so now the bios is reset [03:57] you should load fail safe default and what about time? is it in sync? [03:57] ActionParsnip, i got it around 2008 [03:58] ActionParsnip well, I agree, but if your server is out there in a data center God knows where, then you need to configure your firewall by hand to get best results [03:58] linuxuz3r: is the BIOS reset jumper set to clear? [03:58] wolfman3k5: of for sure :) [03:58] linuxuz3r, sonds like battery dead, does not hold your bootselections ? [03:58] In actuality the Linux default firewall is call Netfilter and it is managed by iptables via terminal. If you insist of a GUI Ubuntu has a default one but I know people that have had great success with Firestarter [03:58] wolf i added u to friends [03:59] ActionParsnip even then you can get rooted if there is a vulnerability in one of the common services that are open to the internet like the Web Server (apache or what ever), smtp, imap, pop3, etc. [03:59] But all those GUIs are front ends for iptables. [03:59] yes they are [03:59] but I wouldn't configure iptables by hand [03:59] yuck [03:59] wait [03:59] ActionParsnip, i did not play with the bios jumper [03:59] is uf iptables? [03:59] so i dont know [03:59] ufw* [04:00] seawookie just install it... here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW [04:00] ActionParsnip, can i pass no acpi in there so it would work? === dehuman is now known as dehuman0 === dehuman0 is now known as dehuman [04:01] ActionParsnip, it does not reset the bios per se but instead it fails to boot to post because on the post page it reboots which screws up my bios settings [04:03] For most commands I can use the prefix »LANG=C« to obtain output not in my native language but in English. How can I obtain output in English for manpages, for example for 'man update-alternatives'? [04:03] linuxuz3r: could try the noacpi, it can't hurt [04:04] I have HP Deskjet F2235, a MFD. The printing and scanning functionality were both working fine when I was using Ubuntu 11.04. Then I switched to lubuntu 11.10. And now 'Simple Scan' doesn't detect my scanner anymore. Please help! [04:05] I am trying to use VLC to record my desktop... but I can't figure out how. The whole past 5 minutes I thought I was recording, but I don't think it was. [04:05] Can someone help me? [04:06] sorry psychx ive never used it [04:06] I am unalble to change my screen resolution. it shows only 1024x768. Xrandr shows my min and max is only that value. how can I change my resolution? [04:06] do you know of a certain software to use that is easy? [04:06] to record your desktop? [04:06] yes [04:07] i use camtasia studios [04:07] is it free? [04:07] try camstudio [04:07] its an opensource [04:08] hey guys, anybody know a way or utility thaat I can use to image my old 5400rpm sata drive to an external drive .. so that I can then image it back to my newer SSD? it's a laptop and I don't have the utilities to have them both in at once [04:08] your trying to do what? [04:08] any help for my unchangble screen resolution ? [04:08] use an old hdd as external? [04:09] doodie what graphics card you running? [04:09] no sorry, store an image of my current 5400rpm drive on an external drive? so that I can then image it to a new drive [04:09] keeping the same install/data [04:09] elite499: it looks like it's for windows [04:09] sounds like youll need a ide/sata to usb to transfer files over [04:09] elite499, it's Radeon 6470M [04:09] is it still in the laptop? [04:10] one sec psychx [04:10] doodie have you recently updated your driver? [04:11] QuikNik: dd or partimage or rsync [04:11] tried editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf? doodie [04:12] elite499, yes i installed for my new laptop. it's ATI/AMD FGLRX graphics card. [04:12] seawookie, I want to but have no idea how to proceed. [04:12] ActionParsnip: I can put the dd or partimage image on an external drive.. and then bring it back onto the new drive with those utilities? [04:12] doodie have you installed the ati software for the card? [04:13] QuikNik: have a look at Clonezilla. I found this LiveCD pretty handy and easy to use if you need to clone your system [04:13] elite499, yes the FGLRX Graphics card is the driver that's available. but it seems not to work. [04:13] bol [04:13] abe: Okay I will look into it? thanks [04:14] QuikNik: you will need both drives attaches then boot to live CD and use the tools [04:14] how do i get my USB joy stick noticed ? [04:15] Doodie, try looking online for a supported driver [04:15] QuikNik: which one would you recommend between them? [04:15] QuikNik: for clonezilla, you could save the partition/drive as image file. Options include save to external hard disk, or network (ftp/samba) if I remember [04:15] dough, I mean ActionParsnip [04:15] sounds like its not compatiable with the default driver [04:15] QuikNik: of cos u could just clone it to the target disk straight away.... or restore the image files on another machine [04:16] elite499, yup [04:17] abe, ActionParsnip: Thanks for your help a lot [04:17] QuikNik: np :) [04:18] did you find one Doodie? [04:18] hello sam____ [04:19] QuikNik: and FYI, clonezilla is built upon dd/partimage etc ;) [04:19] I like ubuntu 10.10? I never want to upgrade [04:19] lol [04:19] elite499, i tried but the Radeon website has only that. Also, a few of the tutorials were using that file, but older version. [04:19] abe: ah, I figured it might be looking at it [04:20] untli now i've been using an acronis utility.. but it let me down just now.. giving me a weird error message [04:20] who is mother of ubuntu [04:20] canonical [04:20] LINUS TORVALDS [04:20] QuikNik: just that it just makes it easier to use esp when cloning disk. partimage doesn't support disk clone AFAIK [04:20] !!!!! [04:21] <_6i> seawookie: linus torvalds is the father of linux (kernel), not ubuntu (distribution) [04:21] Doodie try google your card and see if you can find a driver via that [04:21] lol it was just a joke sry [04:22] if the site doesnt have one [04:22] <_6i> seawookie: ..maybe grandfather?... :D [04:22] I wonder if anyone has experience with bluez NAP profile. I was trying to set it up based on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1632825 but "sdptool browse local" never show NAP being an announced service. Any insight? [04:22] seawookie, could you please check my xorf.conf . http://codepad.org/7gEGRp6v [04:22] haha on its stepmothers side [04:22] lata yall [04:22] pcing out [04:22] goodluck [04:23] <_6i> seawookie: then lets settle for a definite ancestor..of sorts :D [04:24] <_schism_> question for those of you smarter than me. has anyone had a problem getting the google music app to auth? [04:25] _schism_: I didn't even know there WAS a google music app [04:25] <_schism_> usr13, its a .deb from google forgot to put that in sorry [04:26] where? [04:26] <_schism_> https://music.google.com/music/listen#manager_pl [04:28] I'm trying to log into Ubuntu One, but the client keeps reporting an exception that represents an authentication failure..any ideas how to fix this one? [04:30] Does anyone know what codec I have to use in order to properly upload a video to YouTube? [04:30] Hey guys, I am trying to install emitapp.com which is a tar.gz file. According to the readme in the directory after I unzipped, I am supposed to do "Install to default /usr/local then sudo ./install [04:30] However ./install is not working [04:33] For most commands I can use the prefix »LANG=C« to obtain output not in my native language but in English. How can I obtain output in English for manpages, for example for 'man update-alternatives'? [04:33] <_schism_> psychx-, I think most of the major ones work. I have done oggtheora and 3gp with no problems === mike is now known as Guest6299 [04:34] <_6i> hey guys, anyone having any idea why alsa lost mic control or how could i gave it back to it? or maybe it just got way too quite (if i start hitting the mic against the desk with mic volume maxed out (over 100%), i get 1 bar in the volume settings window); aslamixer seams not to help, but interestingly amixer does..in a way: if i turn the playback on for the mic input, i hear that its working, volume control works too (in amixer), but sound sett [04:34] <_6i> ings and alsamixer is still the same (very quite); in audacity i can record when choosing the hardware as input, but not the "default" input sources, also if a program cannot choose an input but uses the default system setting than it can't record [04:34] psychx-: you tube accepts alot of formats. [04:35] psychx-: but mp4 h264 is what it uses [04:35] hello people [04:36] im new to ubuntu 11.10 can i change the way it looks [04:36] Darkhacker: nope [04:36] i dont like the bar on the left [04:36] Darkhacker: unity = fail [04:36] i like the way the old 10.10 worked [04:37] Darkhacker: xubuntu is abought as close as you can get to the old style [04:37] _6i: Please check first the settings in alsamixer. [04:37] so lame T.T [04:37] <_6i> Darkhacker: ooor, you install gnome2.. [04:37] Darkhacker: untill mint releses there mate version with the gnome 2 forke [04:37] !notunity | Darkhacker [04:37] Darkhacker: 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 [04:38] Any idea why sudo ./install as in the readme of an app would not work? [04:38] Darkhacker: yea gnome 3 can be custom big time but its still wanky [04:38] <_schism_> Darkhacker, install lxde or xfce maybe [04:39] Darkhacker: bascily ubntu and gnome lost there minds and have dedcided to sucide there softwhere [04:39] i did see some hacks to put the unity panel at the bottom [04:39] gogeta: what's wanky? [04:39] robin0800: gnome 3 [04:39] gogeta so should i use gnome 3 and is there a simple apt-get i can use ? [04:39] i been looking all day to change this desktop T.T [04:39] gogeta: I know what's wanky about it? [04:40] Darkhacker: You can install the package gnome-shell. Then log out and before logging in select in the login screen image "GNOME Classic (No effects)". [04:40] Darkhacker: you can give it a shot [04:40] bullgard4: gnome classic narly works [04:40] Darkhacker: depends on exactly what you want [04:40] barly [04:40] bullgard4: even they say so [04:40] like 10.10 x64 desktop version use to bre [04:40] be [04:40] mint has assumed maintenance of mate? [04:40] hello everyone [04:41] Darkhacker: yur gonna have to wait for mate to get working [04:41] gogeta: its configurable and compiz works [04:41] i assumed that mate was going to rapidly bitrot since no one was willing to devote the time to take care of it [04:41] gogeta: '~$ dict narly; No definitions found for "narly", perhaps you mean: what?' [04:41] tensorpudding: yes mint is helping big time getting mate working [04:41] I have an ATI 4250 onboard video. I want to make sure that it is lowering the GPU clockspeed when idle. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver tells me there is an option in xorg.conf called DynamicClocks. I do not have x11 installed, where would I look for the same option? [04:41] Darkhacker: try lubuntu or xubyntu for an old school desdktop [04:41] mate is a gnome 2 forke [04:41] making gnome 2 work with gtk 3 [04:41] suddenly my very old ipod is not being mounted in ubuntu, it was able to mount before. I have attached this output from dmesg http://pastebin.com/GBq5B6fk [04:41] ill hack this one around and see what i can do :) [04:42] how would i go about bringing it online manually, i don't think there is disk failure [04:42] it's hard to believe they have to resources to keep them updated [04:42] backporting new features would be next to impossible [04:42] tensorpudding: well the first rc is out of course many things are not working yet [04:42] gnome 2 or not, people are going to get tired of old 2.x apps missing features from 3.x [04:42] dr_willis i code in c but i can in c++ also so i love adding custom stuff to applications and my os [04:43] <_6i> bullgard4: what settings do you mean? -- i already tried to set the mic input to capture, also turned on the separate "capture" button/column/input/field maxed out rec volume (all in the recording section (after F4)), and nothing changed, just like when i tried playing with the comboboxes and sliders in the sound settings window [04:43] tensorpudding: yep. one of the big reasons for the change to g3 [04:43] tensorpudding: its more abought backporting all the old stuff [04:43] they probably already are, 3.x brought some app changes [04:44] tensorpudding: naa i was sick when i saw the first screen and saif wtf is this garbage then the same for unity [04:44] with the various indicator-applets, lenses, and quicklists info at askubntu.com i got unity working very well.. [04:44] !language [04:44] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [04:44] simple terms and im only going to say it once ubuntu is now trash ): [04:44] tensorpudding: whatever happond to if its not broke dont fix it gnome2 was a stons throw away from being the standerd ui [04:45] Darkhacker: so you actually usecd unity for 5 min? [04:45] more like 9 hours [04:45] gnome2 was also lacking in many ways [04:45] complaining about unity and gnome-shell is offtopic here [04:45] elite499, http://codepad.org/7gEGRp6v [04:45] sorry new to this room [04:45] but its dead.. so if you want to tweak ot unity or gnome shell therrws lots of guides for that [04:45] dr_willis: lol lacking in stuff it didnt need [04:46] _6i: I mean the settings that alsamixer allows. They are a finite set. This set depends on the hardware of your computer. -- If you did do all that then there exists another misconfiguration of your audio beyond alsamixer. This sometimes happens and is often difficult to find. [04:46] gogeta: lacking in many things it did need [04:46] people complained about gnome "having stuff that it doesn't need" for a while [04:46] dr_willis: what 3d wavy windows [04:46] but g2 is dead.. so im moving on [04:46] dr_willis: naa mate :) [04:46] can i change the login screen background to a lot of naked ladys :D ? [04:46] GNOME shell 3 does not work in my ubuntu onieric [04:47] gnome 2 is dead, mate is a rebrand fork that will probably not amount to anything [04:47] Generalcamo, what is the exact issue [04:47] !sound | _6i [04:47] i imagine in a year mate will be up there with metisse... [04:47] _6i: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [04:47] tensorpudding: tell that to mint 12 [04:47] When I log on with the shell, it shows nothing except my mouse and my desktop background [04:47] I can CTRL-ALT-DELETE to log off though [04:47] Generalcamo: new install or upgrade? [04:48] Tried both [04:48] dr_willis: mint is aruldy close to beating ubuntu mate will push them past [04:48] no answer ): [04:48] Both say it is up to date [04:48] gogeta: i dont really care what mint is doing.. [04:48] The Gnome Classic is running fine though, I have it open now [04:48] Darkhacker, you can change the login screen background, but i warn you, it's a pain [04:48] Darkhacker, well, i think it is easier if you use lightdm [04:48] tensorpudding, link to a guide or anything [04:48] Generalcamo: whats yor video chipset? [04:49] do you use gdm or lightdm [04:49] am i able to get linux help in the channel? [04:49] ATI Radeon 260 [04:49] For Laptops [04:49] I think... [04:49] Killamancer: yes. thats why we aer here [04:49] Killamancer, ubuntu is linux, if you're using ubuntu then ask [04:49] if it's a linux question that doesn't have to do with ubuntu you should ask in ##linux [04:49] Generalcamo: the live cd desktop works fine? [04:50] Yes [04:50] Unity works as well [04:50] Only GNOME 3 [04:50] has problems [04:50] my friend who has 0 linux experience is trying to install starcraft2 on ubuntu, he got wine and installed the game but when he starts it, the screen is black, the game is running though [04:50] Darkhacker, do you use gdm or lightdm? my experience is only with gdm [04:50] Generalcamo: now.. thats interesting.... [04:50] <_6i> bullgard4: also, sound settings and alsamixer does not have a mic boost option, but amixer does -- however it is not needed to record (simply turning up mic vol does the trick with amixer); also, mic and alsa work well from a live boot, and they worked well before, but recently i played with using jack for a couple of apps at the same time, and probably my actions misconfigured something unintentionally; i already checked the the help links excep [04:50] <_6i> t the last (alsa), but thanks for it anyway [04:51] Killamancer, issues with running games in wine would be better asked elsewhere [04:51] !wine [04:51] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [04:51] !appdb | Killamancer [04:51] Killamancer: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [04:51] yeah, #winehq [04:51] ok thanks [04:51] wine has been pretty fail as of late [04:52] Killamancer: but try playonlinux it helps set wine for games [04:57] https://wiki.edubuntu.org/HardwareSupport/Machines/Laptops/Dell/XPS/15z this page says to use the line modprobe acpi_call but when i do i get 'module acpi_call not found'. would tha thave anything to do with having acpi=noirq in grub? [04:57] back [04:58] GNome Classic is what i wanted :D [04:58] <3 it [04:59] Darkhacker: you have to hack it if you want compiz [04:59] compiz ? [05:00] Darkhacker, do you use lightdm or gdm [05:01] Darkhacker: the compositing manager desk top cube etc. [05:01] not sure tensorpudding im new to linux [05:01] and im fine the way the system is i got my background as big titty's so im good :D [05:02] 2tb ubuntu install :D im ready for some fun [05:04] gnome classic is lacking in many ways.. often it jst looks like what people want.. ntill they start using it...

[05:18] nvidia has a wide range of decent cards for every budget [05:18] but will it run mkv O.o [05:19] Darkhacker, 96** version i think it is very good in range of $100 [05:19] yo play mkv videos.. and even my low end netbook can play them [05:20] Darkhacker: GT240, €70 (unless it's made in Thailand & now more expensive) [05:20] check the various video czard review sites for whats a good value $100 card these days.

[06:39] install unity-2d package and select it at login screen [06:40] [eclipse-ecf data:"package com.andrewmatt.luncher; [06:40] i did not see different options for different desktop environments at the login screen [06:40] install a different desktop/wm - select it at login screen [06:40] i did see some things in the corner that looked like i should be able to click them but they did nothing [06:40] install them, restart the lighdm service [06:40] also when i switch users, or go to the login screen without logging out of this x session, the resolution is very very small [06:41] unity-2s is already at newest version [06:41] the gear next to the name/pass on lightdm is the menu [06:41] !unity2d [06:41] dr_willis, thanks doing that now [06:41] i think that gear icon shold be an arrow or so mthing more obvious [06:42] not like lightdm is lacking in free space on the screen [06:42] they got room for a big list/description on the right even with screen shots [06:44] dr_willis: design flaw, hide all options to the user :( [06:44] design decision = user friendly = dumb things down [06:45] im still not im pressed with the defalt theme/look of lightdm [06:45] surprise-DM = "surprise, i found an option" === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [06:46] hi guys :) i was able to get out of compiz. *much* faster already as my CPU is no longer being pegged constantly by X any time i do anything [06:46] how do i get out of unity now? i didn't see an option for another desktop environment. what package(s) should i install for gnome desktop? [06:46] install a different desktop/wm - select it at login screen [06:46] also i think i prefer gdm to lightdm [06:46] !nounity | dennis__ [06:46] dennis__: 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 [06:46] gnome 3 = install gnome-shell [06:47] xangua, thank you :) [06:47] dr_willis, thanks :) [06:47] also here is a side question: [06:47] can somone help me disable the gnome-keyring? i edited the .desktop files in /etc/xdg/autostart to no avail [06:47] Dash Home before could find terminal, and once i installed it, xchat [06:47] the gnome fallback/classic modes are annoying and lacking in many ways [06:47] now it can't find either, wtf? [06:47] dr_willis, which ways? [06:47] should i just switch them to ubuntu 10? [06:47] i noticecd xchat not showing up also. [06:48] ran it by hand, and pined it to the panel [06:48] dr_willis, how did you run it by hand? [06:48] gnome-termial showed o [06:48] is there a run shortcut? [06:48] dennis__: typed it in a term/alt-f2 [06:48] OH [06:48] the applications tab in dash home reappeared [06:48] i hadn't realized it was gone or existed [06:48] but now it's back [06:49] dr_willis, i could have sworn that when i tried alt+f2 earlier it didn't work :| [06:49] anybody? [06:49] there are classic type menu indicator applets also [06:49] gnome-keyring bugs me [06:49] nuse: so set it to use a blank password. and it never asks again [06:50] no need to remove it [06:50] whaaat? sweet, i've already set the password though [06:50] dash home observation: nice that you can hold shift when you're holding Meta to launch a new instance of an app [06:50] if you had just hit enter = never asks again [06:50] run seahorse, right click on login, change password [06:50] well bummer, there has gotta be a way to fix it even after setting the pass [06:50] aight [06:51] documented all over the forms and askubuntu.com [06:51] it will ask 'use unsafe storeage?' ;) [06:51] lol, run ps ax, find /bin/cat chilling with a low pid :| [06:52] perfect [06:52] thanks alot [06:52] what's zeitgeist-datahub? [06:53] zeitgeist is that monitoring tool that keeps track of last used files and so forth [06:53] neat tool if you do a lot of real work [06:53] can someone help me, I don't know how to fix this? "(2)No such file or directory: apache2: could not open error log file /etc/apache2/${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log." [06:54] dr_willis, how does it accomplish its monitoring? i infer it is more sophisticated than simply the shell recording which programs/documents you launch from it [06:54] dennis__: check its home page.. i belive the apps it monitors need to support its features [06:54] dr_willis, ah ok [06:55] dr_willis, what did you mean by "real work?" [06:55] i rarely use/need it [06:55] word processing/coding [06:55] Which is better kdm or lightdm? [06:55] not just po^h^h web surfing [06:55] LinuxRants: check /etc/apache2/envvars [06:55] jiltdil: you rnning kde? [06:56] l1nuxman, grep -R APACHE_LOG_DIR /etc/apache # and pastebin the results [06:56] dr_willis, no i am in process for installing it [06:56] dr_willis: i am using unity right now [06:56] if you use kde.. you can try kdm. ;) [06:56] any *dm should work fine [06:56] dr_willis, would you recommend kde over gnome desktop environment for ubuntu 11?

[06:57] lightdm has replaced gdm [06:57] dr_willis, hm thanks alot [06:57] ok gonna try gnome brb [06:58] wow [06:58] * jiltdil currently have two desktop environment gnome3 and unity , now testing kde [06:58] dont forget lxde and xfce [06:59] dr_willis, tested already but i have removed [06:59] then theres the old skool window managers like icewm, fluxbox, sawfish, olvwm [06:59] dr_willis, i found xfce nice [07:00] kde will take some learning/reading of its gides to fully gain fll use of its coolness [07:00] dr_willis, have experience on woring on kde on BT, first time gonaa use it on ubuntu [07:01] jiltdil: unity isnt a DE [07:01] kde is still weird in many ways. ;) [07:01] ActionParsnip, i never said that :) [07:01] jiltdil: could look like it :D [07:02] can one run edubuntu on xubuntu or lubuntu? [07:02] ActionParsnip, :) [07:02] dr_willis: gnome is, not kde!

If you use apt-get it will tell you how much space it will use and you can say NO if it is too much [07:07] office3: shouldn't be a lot [07:07] well, space is one thing, RAM is another. how much RAM is required for the bulkier edubuntu programs, if you know? [07:08] office3: depends how many you run at the same time [07:08] just probably one at a time.

[07:27] i installed xfce4 package in oneiric,i changed the panel settings to random sh*t, later i installed xubuntu-desktop, i just got the same settings which i did to xfce4 when i logged into xubuntu session, but when i tried guest session i got a very beautiful interface, how to get it in my profile without getting a new one? [07:27] kanhiya1: here's a graphical frontend for syncevolution that's under development; they've got stable packages in their PPA. https://launchpad.net/genesis-sync/ [07:29] Stanley00: No [07:29] xgt001: if you know where the config files saved, delete them, if not, make new account, then copy some config you want to keep to new account, that how I usually do. [07:30] hello #ubuntu, hopefully quick q, my ubuntu installation running off USB 1.1 is kind of slow, any tweaks to improve performance? [07:30] kanhiya1: then you should look at it, it can read contacts on my phone. [07:30] Stanley00, umm where are the config files located ?? i tried dpkg-reconfigure and apt-get purge and later reinstall they dint work :( [07:31] xgt001: many places, like .config, .gconf and .dconf or .local (maybe) or some where else [07:32] Stanley00: I am installing it, let's see whether it works for me or not [07:32] pumkinhed_: usb1 IS slow. Best tweak is to get USB2/3 [07:32] kanhiya1: good luck ;) [07:32] xgt001: and the . sometimes [07:33] llutz, i should google usb 2 pcmcia [07:33] Stanley00, ok i saw this xfce4 folder in .config folder, shall i delete it? [07:33] llutz think it would help to move to a spinning disk? i am just on a 8gb flash drive [07:33] pumkinhed_, some usb cords are daisy chain.. (some usb hd's come with these cables 2[usbplug]<->1[deviceport]) [07:33] a pci usbcard is about $20 last i looked [07:33] xgt001: hmm, maybe, not sure, but that wont hurt ;) [07:33] pumkinhed_, make sure all "legacy" usb options is selected in the bios.. [07:34] not sure you can boot from a usb pci card [07:34] Stanley00, will try it and logout brb === zulu is now known as Guest21774 [07:34] xgt001: yep, goood luck [07:34] dr_willis: should be ok :-) [07:34] dr_willis, i am running on a compaq nc8000 laptop, drivers work beautifully out of the box, the only complaint i have is that its a little slow [07:34] a real hd would be faster then usb 1 === drew is now known as Guest69230 [07:35] pumkinhed_, what laptop compaq model is it [07:35] yagoo, nc8000 [07:35] pumkinhed_: try unity2d. It won't use effects and should make it smoother [07:36] ActionParsnip, thanks, how do i force 2d? [07:36] pumkinhed_, check your bios.. make sure all "legacy" support is supported for usb (your laptop is usb2) [07:36] pumkinhed_: its an option at login [07:36] yagoo, ah, maybe i just picked a bad port [07:36] pumkinhed_, also see everything i wrote in this channel.. maybe you bought ur drive with that special cable but aren't using it [07:36] brb boot [07:37] yagoo, no i am using an 8gb memory stick [07:37] what channel should i use for PSPICE?

[07:38] yagoo, yeah it is, otherwise i couldnt boot from usb === thoidingjam is now known as jamoooooon [07:39] Flynsarmy: which laptop? [07:39] Stanley00, it worked :D thanks a ton :D [07:39] ActionParsnip: dell inspiron 1520 and dell xps 15z (latter preferrably) [07:39] xgt001: glad it did, you are welcome :) [07:40] Flynsarmy: are you on the latest bios a [07:40] Flynsarmy: does the xps have nvidia nautilus? [07:40] pumkinhed_, the only other thing i can guess is to use setpci and increase the latency timer a bit.. maybe.. [07:40] Flynsarmy: bah, not nautilus. nvidia optimus. *tired* [07:40] Flynsarmy: and are there bugs reported already? [07:41] yagoo, thanks i am going to try the unity and maybe moving to a diff usb port [07:41] Stanley00, ah a little glitch, i am getting ubuntu's window decorator, how to get xubuntu's window decorator without losing compiz? [07:41] brjannc: xps has nvidia optimus, yes. I've got ahci set to noirq so the screen is working. also performed all things from here https://wiki.edubuntu.org/HardwareSupport/Machines/Laptops/Dell/XPS/15z except the heat/noise section under 'graphics cards' which didn't appear to have any affect last time i attempted it [07:42] Flynsarmy: did you install bumblebee or ironhide? [07:42] ActionParsnip: i'll check if i'm on latest GPU. also seeing as this happened on both laptops I just figured it was a linux thing that was inevitable. finally figured i'd ask someone about it :) [07:42] Optimus is a real headache [07:42] brjannc: I installed bumblebee from the PPA however this resulted in no more 3d unity so I just reformatted [07:42] brjannc: i'd like to simply disable the nvidia gpu completely [07:43] pumkinhed_, i was also reading a couple of days, that there's a "feature" some usb drives report but their hardware isn't really there and this causes problems.. [07:43] Flynsarmy: linux has scant support for optimus -- my xps ran hot and had short battery life until i got the ACPI shutdown configured properly with bumblebee === MoL0ToV is now known as Mol0Tov [07:43] pumkinhed_, or some hd-head controller report [07:43] xgt001: the compiz config setting manager program has an option to set window decorator, but I dont know what's xfce decorator, you have to search the web for it === Mol0Tov is now known as MoL0ToV [07:44] any one using amule + firefox? how to associate them both? [07:44] Flynsarmy: gotcha. there's a procedure on the page you just linked for that, by blacklisting the nouveau driver (and obviously not installing the nvidia binary driver) [07:44] Flynsarmy: force it in the bios setup [07:45] almoxarife: can't on the new xps laptops; no hardware switch [07:45] yagoo, thanks for the tips i will check them out! :-) [07:45] brjannc: last time I blacklisted nouveau then attempted to install bumblebee. nvidia drivers installed along with bumblebee - this resulted in no more 3d unity even after I uninstalled bumblebee and any nvidia drivers i could find [07:46] brjannc: i guess it installed the proprietry ones along with bumblebee [07:46] Flynsarmy: right -- bumblebee pulls in the drivers itself. if you want to disable the nvidia card completely in linux, follow that procedure (blacklist, update-initramfs, reboot) and then don't do anything else [07:47] What is the successor of /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-power-manager.desktop under GNOME Shell 3.2.1? [07:47] Flynsarmy: at that point, ubuntu should fall back solely on the intel card, and the nvidia card will (hopefully?) remain unpowered [07:47] Flynsarmy: does nouveau work with bumblebee? === pi[afk] is now known as maverickpi [07:48] ActionParsnip: it does, but i think it's bleeding edge still [07:48] brjannc: at which point lspci should only show 1 VGA driver? [07:48] Flynsarmy: lspci will still show both cards regardless; it's looking at the hardware itself, not the OS [07:49] Whomever invented hybrid graphics needs torturing [07:49] ActionParsnip: it was a great idea, right up until they said they had no plans to support anything but windows :\ [07:50] ActionParsnip: it's nice to have a laptop that can run, say, modern warfare 3, and still have 5 hour life with the standard battery :) [07:51] brjannc: ok, i've blacklisted them. I'll shut the laptop down, wait for it to be cool, fire it back up and see how hot it gets while idling. thanks for your help [07:51] The nvidia gpu could just clock up and down as needed like the cpu does and save power that way. [07:51] Flynsarmy: sure thing, hope it helps; if not, you *may* need to issue an ACPI shutdown command at boot to power down the card [07:52] brjannc: you did also say that installing nvidia proprietry with bumblebee resutled in all heat issues being fixed? would blacklisting nouveau and not installing bumblebee have the same affect? [07:52] Flynsarmy: essentially, yes, because as it is right now, my nvidia card is off; it only powers on when i run something with bumblebee's optirun utility [07:53] ActionParsnip: they do have variable clock speeds, but i guess they still suck up a lot of power even at idle? not sure [07:53] brjannc: do you happen to know if optimus will be supported out of the box in 12.04 or is this thing in such early stages atm that that's not likely to happen? [07:54] Flynsarmy: remains to be seen. development's continuing on bumblebee (which is supposed to be a slow-and-steady, multi-distribution solution) and ironhide (which is more rapidly developed and focused on *buntus) [07:55] brjannc: ok, and (hopefully) last question: even with nouveau drivers blacklisted, wouldn't the card itself still be powered up and therefore cauisng as much heat as it is atm? [07:55] Flynsarmy, powermanagement in linux is still premature.. [07:56] Flynsarmy: not necessarily. it depends on what its default behavior is; if it doesn't power up unless the driver asks it to when it's loaded, it should solve the problem. otherwise (cont) [07:56] Flynsarmy: like I said you may need to use acpi-utils to issue a power-off command from a boot script, which isn't hard, just a little bit of magic [07:58] Flynsarmy, your best bet with getting apm or acpi power management working is imitate any solutions posted on your laptop model.. otherwise you're in for lots of experimentation [07:58] * yagoo favors googling "ubuntu wiki " [07:58] yagoo: this is a very special case because of nvidia optimus -- there aren't really "solutions" yet, just hacks and workarounds :) [07:59] yahoo way too noobish to pull off anything spectacular unfortunately :( [07:59] Flynsarmy, what model is it? [07:59] yahoo xps 15z [08:00] yagoo: for reference, i am giving this advice as i type on the exact same laptop ;) [08:00] Flynsarmy, google "xps 15z laptop ubuntu wiki" .. the top link :) [08:01] What is the successor of /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-power-manager.desktop under GNOME Shell 3.2.1? [08:01] hi i am running a dell optiplex gx240 and for some reason lubuntu doesn't see that my cd rom drive is on, I wish to burn a puppy linux disc but when i go to the burner software it says my cd rom drive is not there but in the bios its shown to be on and not disabled [08:01] yagoo: that's the page I've been working off :) done everything except the graphics card section. i'm on 11.10. Attempting to disable nouveau without installing bumblebee as per brjannc's advice. hopefully it should take care of my heat issues. I have a feeling i'll need a bit more than this htough heh [08:02] how do you mount cd rom drive [08:02] Flynsarmy, did you also do the update-initramfs -c -k all ? [08:03] ghostnik11, what type of cd? [08:03] ghostnik11: If the burning software tells you your cdrom is missing, you cannot mount it. [08:04] Since it doesnt need to be mounted for burning something onto it. [08:04] bekks: uh, is there a way i can manually force mount it [08:04] yagoo: yup. Just disabled nouveau using the link provided there. I've currently got hte laptop off to let it cool to room temp. I'll then fire it up and let it idle and see how hot it gets [08:04] ghostnik11: you don't mount anything to burn a cd. "wodim -prcap" in a terminal, does it recognize a cd-burner? [08:04] ghostnik11: Please read again what I wrote. [08:04] how do I install handbrake on ubuntu? ppa is failing [08:04] W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/stebbins/handbrake-releases/ubuntu/dists/oneiric/main/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found [08:04] yagoo: the code provided there I hsould say [08:05] Flynsarmy, do you have something like cpufrequtils installed? [08:06] bekks: i don't get it though, if the bios shows it enabled then how come it doesn't become automatically loaded? [08:07] ghostnik11: Because it maybe broken. [08:07] Hi guys ! Please don't bash me for what I will say, please. I am just trying to get help for a quite common sound/video problem with ATI graphics card over HDMI but I can't seem to get help anywhere. I copied one of the past IRC channels I went to and put it here http://pastebin.com/SmszUQZU It's not long.. Please do consider reading it ! (PS. there is a video of the problem) [08:07] yagoo: I don't. I've been using gnome-system-monitor to check how much cpu is being used. i'll install once i fire up teh machine [08:07] bekks: but i installed lubuntu onto it using a cd [08:08] ghostnik11: What is the output of the command you were suggested to run? [08:08] Flynsarmy, gnome-system-monitor uses dbus i think .. not sure it would be acpi-utils [08:09] bekks: The program 'wodim' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: [08:09] sudo apt-get install wodim [08:09] ghostnik11: Why dont you install it then? [08:10] yagoo: the apci-utils suggestion was if Flynsarmy needed to send a raw ACPI command to his nvidia card to power it down. [08:10] I ve installed a KDE app called Basket note on ubuntu. But the fonts are really small. Any idea ? [08:10] (though it appears you can do it through /proc, too -- that's handy) [08:11] bekks: wait just installed it will do a pastebin to show output its weird what it says i can and can't do with this cd rom drive on this old computer [08:11] ghostnik11: a cdrom drive isnt a cdrom burning device necessarily. [08:11] no wonder .. there is no oneric version [08:12] * yagoo notices the gnome-power-manager package.. [08:12] bekks: http://paste.ubuntu.com/743018/ [08:13] I'm using ubuntu 11.10 and I installed indicator-network on accident. After removing it, my Network Settings (in System Settings) has stopped working (Error message saying "The system network services are not compatible with this version" ). Any ideas how I can fix this issue? [08:14] ghostnik11: does not write CD-R media..... its not a burner you have [08:14] llutz_: ?? [08:14] and Flynsarmy, yagoo: the ubuntu kernel has CPU governors enabled by default; cpufrequtils is only necessary if you want to use the userspace governor. the ondemand one is usually sufficient, and can be switched to powersave with e.g. gnome's cpu frequency applet [08:14] llutz_: Ah, now I got you :) You are perfectly right :) [08:15] ghostnik11: No chance to burn anything with that device. [08:15] ahh damn. screens going black on boot again...even with acpi=noirq *grumbles* [08:16] llutz and bekks; thanks for the help and pointing out the obvious, should have just ran the command earlier instead of getting a headache on an old dell computer [08:16] Flynsarmy, there's sentinella and gnome-power-manager, did u try these two packages? (dpkg -L |grep bin) [08:16] morning all. can anyone help with Evernote for Linux? [08:17] TK5791, uhh.. that's closed source evernote.com [08:17] TK5791, i used to use the web-edition only.. [08:17] yep... they don't have an official piece of software [08:17] web edition? [08:17] aha, got it working by removing vthandoff=7 or similar from the grub mneu [08:17] TK5791: Ask your real question. [08:17] ghostnik11: you might boot the puppy iso from grub2, so no need to burn it [08:18] can someone suggest an evernote for linux, that will allow me to connect and use evernote? [08:19] TK5791: Use your webbrowser. [08:19] TK5791: Go to their website, login to your notes, done. [08:19] Flynsarmy, it's not worth the experimentation.. you really have to dwelve into the documentation about ACPI and power save management works.. the good thing is that suspend2 is being worked on and will be a standard part of linux.. I hope suspend2 can resolve everything about powermanagement for linux.. [08:19] bekks: didn't know they did a web browser version [08:19] TK5791, have you tried nevernote? [08:20] TK5791: That is their key feature... [08:20] llutz; yeah but i want to install the puppy linux as this dell optiplex is so old that lubuntu is too much for it to handle, so decided to go with puppy linux lucid edition which has support for ubuntu repositories [08:20] ghostnik11: You will loose the entire ubuntu support doing so. [08:20] Nevernote? no, but I'd be interested in trying... anyone know the terminal command to install? [08:20] bekks: how so? [08:20] ghostnik11: use a usb thumb-drive then [08:21] brjannc: the mini display port work out the box for you? I haven't tested mine yet - have a mini dp -> dvi adapter ready to go though. i hear the HDMI isn't working [08:21] bekks: I'll have a look at their web feature [08:21] ghostnik11: Because Puppy Linux isnt Ubuntu. [08:21] bekks: thank you [08:21] Flynsarmy, if you try to put the video off or down.. does the machine hibernate rather than going into standby? [08:21] TK5791, dunno if they still have your account via web.. i used it long time ago [08:21] TK5791, here's their current version: http://sourceforge.net/projects/nevernote/files/Current/ [08:22] llutz_: its so old that even though i have updated the bios to its latest version, the bios vendor never supported booting from usb drive, which would have made this process easier [08:22] yagoo: was that meant for me? [08:22] Flynsarmy: haven't tried mine, either [08:22] Flynsarmy, you said you were trying boot options [08:22] ghostnik11: ok, then you'll have to find a cd-burner somewhere as a last resort. good luck [08:23] what package should I reinstall in ubuntu to fix/repair network settings in system settings? (oneiric) [08:23] yagoo: I haven't tried hibernate/standby yet. i'm not even sure waht that option i rmeoved did other than stopping me from booting properly [08:23] brjannc: ahh damn, the mini display port would be connected to the nvidia right? so unless i get bumblebee working correctly, I have no external monitor support [08:23] bekks: yeah i know its not ubuntu but there puppy linux lucid edition is supposedly linked with the ubuntu repositories, so even though i might lose the support i will still be able to get into the repositories and get the things that i need from ubuntu or that come pre installed with ubuntu [08:23] sir kismet is not working with my rtl8192se wifi driver please help me out...!! [08:23] Rav3nSw0rd: Thats not windows. A reinstallation will not fix a broken configuration. [08:23] also, is it a known bug for aptitude to display duplicates of everything? [08:24] Flynsarmy: I believe that's correct, yes [08:24] bekks, I accidentally installed a package which had conflicts and autoresolved and removed the default package, would like to know what package was removed that I don't have right now that I should have [08:25] Rav3nSw0rd: thanks [08:25] Rav3nSw0rd: Then take a look at the package manager logs under /var/log/ [08:25] TK5791, np [08:25] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/silc-client/+bug/655311 [08:25] Launchpad bug 655311 in silc-client (Ubuntu) "Loading silc plugin crashes with error "undefined symbol: server_setup_find_port"" [Medium,Fix released] [08:25] I have this problem, using 10.0 maverick [08:26] although I've upgraded all the packages, I get the same error [08:26] any ideas?

[08:30] i'll try in searchin first thnx fr ur advice [08:30] sir [08:30] hello guys [08:31] need help here [08:31] !details | georgetso [08:31] georgetso: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [08:31] how can I fill all my free disk on ext4 with 0 without damage my existing data? [08:31] brjannc: do you use unity/shell/fallback? === herbmonk is now known as KittyFur [08:31] bekks: ubottu: I'm trying :-) [08:31] by creating a file containing just 0, and removing it afterwards. [08:32] Flynsarmy: I don't. (shh -- I'm actually using mint right now) [08:32] bekks: i mean all my free space [08:32] georgetso: I just told you :) [08:32] bekks: ok, i'll try, thanks. I guess that file need to be really large [08:32] Flynsarmy: so I'm still using gnome 2 :) [08:32] since my hdd is quite large === KittyFur is now known as _moD [08:32] georgetso: Yes. Do you know how to create such a big file? [08:32] brjannc, doesnt matter what distro it is.. the power management on any linux is poooooorr.. [08:33] bekks: not yet, could you help? [08:33] brjannc, because of this, people tend to use hdparm on their harddrives in their laptops [08:33] yagoo: not true, mine works swell [08:33] yagoo: ... I don't remember saying anything about mint's power management... [08:34] georgetso: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/root/delete.me bs=16384; sudo rm /root/delete.me [08:34] brjannc, there's no such thing a distro's power management.. it's either all generic linux or something i doubt can be tailored to just 1 distro [08:35] yagoo: I know this, I'm confused as to why this is even a topic of conversation? He just asked if I used unity, and I said no, because I'm using mint. [08:36] bekks: how can I specify the bs for my disk? [08:36] brjannc: sorry laptop froze. lucky, 11.10 has an issue on fallback where metacity is always loaded by default [08:36] brjannc: no 3d affects as a result. the 'fix' i was given was to copy metacity to metacity.bak and softlink compiz as metacity [08:36] bekks: may I ask, is this tool help? http://bleachbit.sourceforge.net/ [08:37] georgetso: It is far better to use an even greater block size than your physical blocksize. And I never cared about bleachbit. [08:37] Flynsarmy, is your laptop the same xps ? [08:37] Flynsarmy: ah, yeah. metacity can do compositing, but that's about it [08:37] bekks: thanks, I will try. [08:37] yagoo: i doubt it. mines a JB Hi-Fi model that isn't sold on the dell website. it's pretty much identical to one of the ones on there that is though. probably is identical in fact [08:38] georgetso: Things like sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/root/delete.me bs=16384M; sudo rm /root/delete.me; should be ok, too. [08:38] bekks: cool, I'll go with that [08:39] lol [08:39] georgetso, dont do that. [08:39] sorry, apparently I forgot to kill my NetworkManager; was there a response to "could you try running "sudo apt-get install indicator-network" and tell me what package that it requests that you remove? my log file quite frankly isn't helping me"? [08:39] yagoo: what? [08:39] georgetso, bs= shouldnt' ever be that big.. [08:39] pff [08:39] yagoo: Why not? He is going to create a big file filling all free space, then delete it again. [08:39] Anyone know how ot make compiz load by default in gnome-session-fallback instead of metacity short of softlinking compiz as metacity? [08:39] yagoo: Why not. Explain it technically, why the bs shouldnt be set to value corresponding to the drive cache? [08:40] you can use bs=1M then use the count= [08:40] bs=1M and a high count may give meaningless results due to caching [08:40] yagoo: using count in this case is senseless [08:40] pnorman: ack. [08:40] pnorman, caching? lol.. he's using /dev/zero .. gimme a break [08:40] well, not meaningless, they show you how fast the cache is, but they don't tell you the sequential read speed of the drive [08:41] brjannc: btw - definate heat improvement by blacklisting nouveau. still far hotter and louder than It should be but i'll probably never be able to fix that [08:41] oh, write speed, misread those for read speed [08:41] pff caching for /dev/zero.. lol [08:41] man.. [08:41] in "rm -rf *.txt" ..what does -rf stands for ? [08:41] sasori: "man rm" [08:41] sasori: recursive and force. neither which are typically needed for *.txt files [08:42] so rm *.txt is good enough to use without that -rf thing ? [08:42] sasori: What does "recursive" mean? [08:43] recursive = in programing it means repetitive looping or something that repeatedly calling itself [08:43] bekks: basically, all folders underneath [08:43] recursive != repetitive looping [08:43] auronandace: I know that, sasori doesnt :) [08:44] ok sorry..am no good in english XD [08:44] definition of recursive: see recursive [08:44] bekks: see"recursive" [08:44] FlyingFoX, does your video driver support acceleration? [08:45] Flynsarmy, ^ you've been toying around with the video driver.. did you verfiy that glxgears work? (mesa-utils package) [08:45] bekks: I think you are seeing it in ubuntu, it also means to dig into a dir/folder within the folder you are in [08:45] try googling "recursion" too [08:46] almoxarife: I know recursion means - sasori doesnt. [08:46] +what [08:46] bekks, they're just showing off.. -r simply means down subdirectories [08:46] bekks, you don't need -r << it's dangerous and is rarely**** used [08:46] yagoo: Which part of "I know it" is unclear to you? *sigh* [08:46] sasori: I think you are seeing it in ubuntu, it also means to dig into a dir/folder within the folder you are in [08:47] i see, so it's safe to use after all , thanks :) [08:47] bekks, it's a dangerous option.. you should know 100% what it does.. just trying to help ya.. relax [08:47] sasori: NO. [08:47] sasori: DONT use -rf UNLESS you EXACTLY know what you are doing there, and what will be deleted. [08:47] bekks, you can just ignore him.. he's annoying [08:47] wtf [08:48] bekks: perhaps a better way to re-phrase your question to sasori : "Do you know what recursive means?" [08:48] auronandace: would cause the same reactions [08:49] you should only use -r if you know you need it. [08:49] hi [08:49] i need hellp [08:50] madoo: then you need to tell us how to help you [08:50] pnorman: now "that" made me confuse, you mean to see, if i wanna delete all txt files except for one particular txt file, imma use "-r" ? [08:50] I'm trying to Check for Updates (using Update Manager), and it gives me this message in an error dialog: http://paste.ubuntu.com/743040/ [08:50] sasori: NO. [08:50] sasori: no. [08:51] can eny one hear me [08:51] i need hellp [08:51] madoo, It would appear auronandace can [08:51] !details | madoo [08:51] madoo: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [08:51] Honestly, the best answer is, don't remove files with rm unless you need to or know exactly what you're doing. Something with a GUI is much easier to use and tends to be more forgiving. [08:51] sasori: if you use -r it will rm the files in the directory your in AND all subdirectories from there [08:52] oh brjannc - have you noticed low audio volume? Mines at 100% and youtube vids are still pretty quiet. it was fine on windows [08:52] yay, resolved my issue. NetworkManager stopped after I installed indicator-network, so after uninstalling indicator-network, I simply had to restart the NetworkManager service. [08:52] ok, that's clearer now...thanks guys :D [08:52] Flynsarmy, Have you checked the YouTube volume in the window? [08:53] Starminn: yea it's at 100% [08:53] Flynsarmy, Check the volume output settings. If this is also at 100%, there is a program called GNOME ALSA Mixer that offers much more fine-tuning [08:54] I'm trying to Check for Updates (using Update Manager), and it gives me this message in an error dialog: http://paste.ubuntu.com/743040/ Any assistance is appreciated. [08:54] Starminn: output voluem is at 100% there too :( [08:54] FlyingFoX, I've noticed that linux/ubuntu has issues in some computers with audio. Open up a terminal and try messing with alsamixer. I generally find some channels muted, and after unmuting, increases the volume. Googling showed that the different channels contributed power to the headphones/speakers, so by unmuting, more power is generated, equating to greater volume. [08:55] Starminn: 404 means "File not found" - you can ignore those error messages -or- the repository is defective. [08:55] bekks, Can't ignore them since it doesn't even load the updates with that message, unfortunately. [08:55] Starminn: Looks like those PPAs don't have anything for 11.10. Not sure about the GPG error [08:56] Starminn: It loads all other updates, except from that PPA. [08:57] hello evry one [08:57] i need help [08:57] can eny one hellp me [08:57] !ask | madoo [08:57] !details | madoo [08:57] madoo: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [08:57] madoo: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [08:57] bekks pnorman: Okay. Howeverm the GPG error is what really gets me. I know the 404s (just hadn't felt like fixing them), it's the GPGs that are causing a problem. I can "sudo apt-get upgrade" via Terminal just fine. But GUI breaks [08:57] madoo: stop asking for help and tell us your problem [08:57] Starminn: Can you sudo apt-get update? [08:57] Starminn: The GPGs are NOT causing any problem. [08:58] how to fix all error using ubuntu 11.10 [08:58] my laptop get so freez when i listen to music and open enter net can eny one hellp me to fix this brupleam [08:58] g465: "all error"? [08:58] StaRetji, bekks for the gpg error, try this : http://en.kioskea.net/faq/809-debian-apt-get-no-pubkey-gpg-error . Please make sure that you trust it first though, I'm not sure if the steps in that article bypass/create fake authentication or gets real authentication. [08:58] yes [08:59] g465: Define "all error". [08:59] any way to disable mouse accel on 11.10? [08:59] I mean, TOTALLY disable it [08:59] does anyone know how I can edit the mplayer config file to make mplayer automatically start in fullscreen? [09:00] Rav3nSw0rd: I am not interested in fixing a warning which doesnt even prevent updates ;) [09:00] can i find hellp please [09:01] is there a way to make gnome-shell theme compatible with gnome 3.2? [09:01] hello [09:01] bekks, eh, to each their own, I get rid of the errors because I have to push enter to get rid of the message in aptitude. That and it clutters up my errors with apt-get update. Getting rid of errors that I can get rid of means that I can see the errors that I still need to get rid of lol. [09:01] i need .... i need hellp [09:01] bekks, pnorman, Yes. I took care of the PPAs and now it's updating fine, but via Terminal ("sudo apt-get update") I still receive this output at the end: http://paste.ubuntu.com/743046/ [09:01] !patience | madoo [09:01] madoo: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [09:02] Gangrel, What are you talking about? [09:02] yes please can you hellp [09:03] how can i uninstall apt that i cannot used it [09:03] Rav3nSw0rd: Then double check the keys, since you havent verified them, obviously. [09:03] Starminn: if it works I'd personally leave it alone. If I was wanting to debug it, I'd start by removing PPAs from the list of repositories [09:03] g465: DONT uninstall apt. You will break your system. [09:03] evry time i try to listen to music and open enter net i get my laptop freez [09:03] pnorman, This has happened since the first time I remember updating via Terminal on 11.10. This is a fresh reinstall so I don't understand the problem. [09:04] Starminn: My guess is it's something to do with trying to fetch stuff from repos that have nothing for 11.11 [09:04] Starmin my gnome-shell theme is not compatible with gnome 3.2 [09:04] is shell scripting similar to programming using popular programming languages such as e.g java,c,c++,php and etc. ? [09:04] is there a way to make it compatible? [09:05] can eny one fix this brupleam [09:05] you mean uninstall whole system of ubuntu [09:05] hello [09:05] Calinou, I'd check xorg.conf ... hmm, unless if 11.10 deprecated that too, I miss init.d lol . I also miss grub 1.x XD [09:05] no. [09:06] I'll never touch a protected file, ever [09:06] broke my system 1 month ago by doing that [09:06] so NO [09:06] you say on me break the system [09:06] but, before I changed my mouse [09:06] it didn't had mouse accel [09:06] [hmm] [09:07] pnorman, I found the solution: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1174127 --- it was "sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys " [09:08] pnorman, I ran that command on each of the keys, sudo apt-get update'd and no more key errors. :) [09:08] Calinou: i know you can change the speed at which the mouse accelerates in xfce [09:08] Starminn: "W" indicated a _W_arning, not an _E_rror. [09:08] sasori: Similar in what way? [09:09] control structures, looping ? [09:09] variables, costants and, classes, object..etc.. [09:09] bekks, Aha! Well, I never thought of it that way! I just saw, "something wrong happened," and classified it as an error lol. [09:09] sasori, As Ubuntu uses Bash by default, you should go to #bash -- they're the gurus. ;) [09:10] ok, tnx [09:11] !dash | Starminn [09:11] Starminn: /bin/sh links to the DASH shell in all releases since Ubuntu Edgy (6.10). Since DASH is not 100% compatible with the BASH shell, some scripts might break. You can make scripts execute using BASH by changing the first line of the script to « #! /bin/bash [09:11] auronandace, So... Ubuntu uses Dash by default, as opposed to Bash..? [09:11] Starminn: yes [09:12] Starminn: Yes. [09:12] Well then. Heh, thanks for that. :) === ejat- is now known as ejat [09:12] Starminn: user-shell is bash, system-shell dash [09:12] how do you open bz2 files? [09:12] Starminn: Open a terminal, and run this: export | grep SHELL [09:12] garden92: You have to unpack it, using bunzip2 [09:12] So... If I execute a script in Terminal as my user, I'm running Bash. But as sudo it's Dash? [09:12] echo $SHELL [09:13] llutz_: ack. [09:13] bekks, It output /bin/bash for both my user and sudo [09:13] Starminn: /bin/sh (which points to dash) is used by default to run scripts, unless you specify your own shebang [09:14] 2011-09-25 13:13:32 socket bind() to port 25 for address ::1 failed: Cannot assign requested address: daemon abandoned [09:14] Whats that mean? [09:15] llutz_, So, which am I running as my user, and which am I running as root? [09:15] i dont want to have to manually type it in.. [09:15] skilz: What are you trying to do? [09:16] Starminn: echo $SHELL [09:16] [Ubuntu 11.10 GNOME Shell 3.2.1] Is there a graphical program available wirh a similar functionality as the command-line command '~$ gsettings'? [09:16] Starminn: users default shell has nothing to do with the "system-shell" /bin/sh [09:17] does anyone know of a way to assign a shortcut to my root password? [09:17] glitchd: What for do you need that? [09:18] bullgard4, just for conveinence basically, its just in a virtual machine so im not worried about security [09:18] how do i install firefox update? [09:18] glitchd: 1st there shouldn't be any root-password at all. 2nd what should a "shortcut" to a passwd be? [09:19] glitchd: I cannot help you. Sorry. [09:19] llutz_, Yes, I ran the command, and it output bash for both of those. So who uses Dash? Or is that just the non-user/autonomous system-level tasks? [09:19] Starminn: dash /bin/sh is used whenever no other shell is defined [09:19] llutz_, Ah, gotcha [09:19] llee, how do u figure there shouldnt be a password at all? what if i want to install something? i have to do it as root, and to do that i have to enter a root password. and i would like the shortcut to be something like crtl+alt+z [09:20] !root | glitchd [09:20] glitchd: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [09:20] llutz, , how do u figure there shouldnt be a password at all? what if i want to install something? i have to do it as root, and to do that i have to enter a root password. and i would like the shortcut to be something like crtl+alt+z [09:20] how can i reverse this incredibly dumb behaviour: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11395419#post11395419 that makes impossible to compile most of the stuff out there? [09:20] glitchd: you use sudo and your user-password. root has no password [09:20] llutz, ok then excuse my terminology, but i wondering the same thing about my user password then [09:21] glitchd: still my 2nd question aplies [09:21] llutz, just for conveinence is all [09:22] llutz, im tired of having to enter it manually.. [09:22] glitchd: you mean something like "press ctrl-alt-p" to input password? [09:22] llutz, exactly. [09:23] llutz, any ideas? [09:23] glitchd: systemsetting keyboard.... no idea [09:25] llutz, i can assign shortcuts in the keyboard settings but not one to just input preset text into the selected field. [09:25] llutz, unless i just dont know how. [09:26] anyone online with a dell xps 15z? you experiencing low volume? any fix?

It's not working [10:47] hey guys, can anyone help me out on how to run a script on bootin ubuntu server? [10:47] g0tcha: add it to /etc/rc.local [10:48] ssta, what you said are the same to what the ubuntu page said, that sounds complicated, i just want to test if qemu supports ARM?

[10:49] sorry window navigator [10:49] hi amirwebdev2, I am web developer as well [10:49] llutz_, thanks, ill try that now [10:49] g0tcha: that won't work with any script needing a xsession [10:49] ubuntu-lover. the point of minimizing the windows is to access the files saved on the desktop. if i go to a different desktop then that might defeat the purpose [10:50] ok, let me think (using google...) [10:50] llutz_, im just trying to automaticly add some IP's on boot instead of adding them manually every time after a reboot [10:50] saving files on desktop..so old skool. :-) [10:51] g0tcha: alternatively, you can use cron to run stuff at boot. More useful that rc.local if you want to do it as a user rather than as root [10:51] g0tcha: consider using /etc/network/interfaces for that [10:52] which ubuntu sleeping_chld? [10:52] 11.10 [10:52] i think unity [10:52] ctrl+alt+d works for me...

I am also using unity o 11.10 [10:53] sleeping_chld: may be because of compiz [10:53] ssta, unfortunatly, i do need root [10:54] llutz_, how do i use /etc/network/interfaces with ipv6? [10:54] compiz? what's that? [10:54] i'm sorry very new to linux. just installed ubuntu last night :) [10:54] sleeping_chld: Thing that worked for me is avant Window Naviagtor & app show desktop worked well for me [10:54] you could try to alt+SPACEBAR to pull the window menu and minimize from there [10:55] g0tcha: same way you do with ipv4, man 5 interfaces [10:55] #php [10:55] join #php [10:55] ubuntu-lover, that is to minimize the current window, what if you have 5 windows open? each will have to be minimized seperately [10:55] sleeping_chld: IT is a good windows navigator, i hope you will love it [10:56] how can I enter in another channel?

[11:11] Question: I have Ubuntu 11.10 on my laptop and no other OS. Is it easy to install a second 11.10 on some empty partition? What about grub? has somebody some experiences [11:12] hello [11:12] Multbrelch: IIC the installer gives you the option to do just that [11:12] hello [11:12] Multbrelch: why do you need to do that? and grub shold see the other os fine [11:12] Multbrelch: It should be easy enough, and GRUB will be automatically reconfigured. Be aware though that both entries being named "Ubuntu 11.10" it'll be rather... difficult to guess which is which at first [11:13] multibrelch, i tried to install two linux on same pc or drive , i was able to install only one at a time :(, but it was long time ago [11:13] plz : i'm using ubuntu & unity out of the box but ALT TAB is sluggish to swap top app : is there another way to swap app ? [11:13] Thanks all. The reason is. Somebody will obtain an Ubuntu installation from me. The person has no idea about computers. The second OS would be an emergency system ... [11:13] you could tell the 2nd install to not install any bootloader. and let the firts os handel it all. [11:13] i have a system installed with luks encryption, i need to be able to remotely enter the pasword and decrypt it via ssh [11:14] Multbrelch: you can set up a /boot/ partion and a grub2 config to boot an iso file from /boot/ as an emergancy boot/reinstall method [11:14] theadmin, okay, I see. But one needs then to configure grub [11:14] Multbrelch: Yeah, won't be too hard anyway [11:14] dr_gonzo, ah sounds interesting [11:15] Multbrelch, dr_willis, another option si sto install the bootloader of the second system in its own partition and not the disk mbr, that way you are chaining the bootloaders [11:15] ive installed very fast sing that trick [11:15] Multbrelch: Also, you don't really need another Ubuntu as an "emergency system", just use something more... minimalistic... Or just get the SystemRescueCD, actually. [11:15] dr_gonzo, but this emergency iso file needs to connect automatically to the internet since I remote control the PC from far far away... [11:16] or just give him a usb stick with a emergancy os on it [11:16] cablop, true ... [11:16] i think the grub2/iso method can use a persistant save file.. [11:16] that way in the emergency system you are able to upgrade its kernels and initramfs and so on... but that also means that other system is going to hold its own /boot/ and so on [11:16] hi, what is the difference between kvm and qemu in ubuntu? [11:16] theadmin, but the emergency OS needs to connect automatically to the internet such that I can do TeamViewer etc [11:17] but if the hd or grub is the issue.. well none of those methods may work.. live usb would be best [11:17] yes, because you remotely has no grub access [11:17] except if you are with the guy there and saying him what to do to boot the machine [11:18] hi any expert here who can help me set up my machine's webcam?:) [11:18] yep [11:18] Beefcakes: plug it in.. install/run cheese.. see if it works.. [11:18] and besides teamviewer put a nx on that ubuntu, it is better, and also open-ssh server [11:18] cablop, well this is done like this via phone. I would even print out a photo which shows grub and what the person needs to do in an emergency case [11:19] cablop, what is nx? [11:19] !nx [11:19] FreeNX is advanced remote desktop technology. For more information and install instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX [11:19] thanks [11:19] alternative to vnc [11:19] Multbrelch: the key is not to share /boot folder or the initramfs are going to be overwritten [11:20] how to share internet connection with two interfaces? [11:20] But TeamViewer is something the people can easily understand, ssh is definitely not the choice ... although I would like [11:20] Multbrelch: you can use freenx or the closed source nx, i never used freenx but used the nx thing and it is so nice [11:20] install ssh for you... not them.. ;) [11:20] really? [11:20] :) [11:20] hello [11:20] Multbrelch: TeamViewer is definetly simple, although I honestly had problems with it on Ubuntu (black screen displayed when you connect to an Ubuntu machine :/) [11:21] if yo can ssh in and fix things - that makes it easier [11:21] dr_gonzo, in the extreme case they need to open a shell etc ... well this gets crazy then [11:21] !tab [11:21] You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [11:21] openssh is just a server, so you can open remote terminals with that machine ip address, easies than running a terminal inside teamviewer or vnc or nx [11:21] i wanna something fix my ubuntu its to bad [11:21] theadmin, here it workes very well [11:21] Multbrelch: Guess it's fixed then :) [11:21] madoo: You realize that made no sense, right? What is the problem exactly? [11:21] i ssh to my home pc from my cellphone [11:22] nx is not vnc like, vnc will transmit you the screen, nx is more like a client-server thing, more like a thinclient [11:22] Ubuntu 11.04, Linux Mint 11.10, 32 and 64 bit <= TV is working in all these cases [11:23] Multbrelch: i suggest you to, install the rescue system in its own partition, all, but maybe set a swap for it if the user use the main for hibernation [11:23] Multbrelch: I can also confirm it works fine with the OSes I run xD Which are Microsoft Windows 7 32-bit and ArchLinux Testing 32-bit. [11:23] evry time i try to setup program to download something its give me error [11:23] Multbrelch: then install the grub in its partition and not the mbr [11:23] cablop, I will think about it [11:23] Multbrelch: for remote assitance you are going to like openssh server there too, and also teamviewer and nx [11:23] madoo: what program? what error? [11:24] hello ... [11:24] cablop, I would install the whole bunch of software [11:24] How can mandatory this : http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-448614.html [11:24] someone ban lisa_ [11:24] Multbrelch: don't share the /boot between both installs, because you are going to overwrite the initramfs of one wirth the other breaking the purpose of the rescue system or making the main unbootable [11:24] bot pming me about sex [11:24] seriously annoying [11:25] Gskellig: -> #ubuntu-ops [11:25] cablop, theadmin and dr_willis , thanks for comments !!! [11:25] Multbrelch: nx and openssh server doesn t come by default [11:25] Gskellig: pm me the details [11:25] cablop, okay [11:25] its like i cant setup enything befor i remove some program [11:25] but i dont know [11:26] cablop, I just copy and pasted your comments into some file :-) [11:26] hehe, ok :) [11:26] i did ubuntu in all my hard i didnt do swap or home file [11:26] a thats good [11:26] =D [11:27] now my question again [11:27] There are sex bots? Funny ... [11:27] madoo: the ubuntu installer makes a swap by defalt. unless you told it not to. [11:27] i have a system encrypted with luks, that one asks me the password at boot, but i need to be able to boot via network using ssh [11:27] cablop: boot via ssh ???? [11:27] tell me the right plz did i have to do swap or make ubuntu setup atomatic [11:28] madoo: what ? [11:28] ikonia: well, to turn the machine on, but enter the password via ssh [11:28] its mean no problem [11:28] the machne is headless [11:28] madoo: check output of sudo fdisk -l, and free command . see if you have swap [11:28] you guys know owt about back track ? [11:28] cablop: you'll need to setup a keypair based system for your luks system, or manually mount the luks disk from the ssh prompt [11:28] VeNoM: the guys in #backtrack-linux do [11:28] why when i open mp3 with enternet my laptop get slow to much [11:28] VeNoM: we know it has its own support channels... [11:29] how would i uses these support channles [11:29] VeNoM: join #backtrack-linux [11:29] madoo: Which kernel are you using?

[11:34] cablop: no [11:34] cablop: you can't do that as there is no network at that point [11:34] madoo: for starters, you could copy & paste if given commands to execute instead of guessing if your screen font sucks ;) [11:34] ikonia, then launch network and ssh-server [11:35] cablop: no [11:35] cablop: you can't do that from initramfs [11:36] no my scren is good [11:37] madoo: Ubuntu 10.10 has a 2.6.35 kernel. If playing back an MP3 over the network slows your laptop considerably more than playing an MP3 locally, and you have a multi-core CPU, you might want to try Ubuntu 11.04 with the 2.6.38 kernel (or Ubuntu 11.10) with the 3.0 kernel. I recall reading somewhere that the 2.6.37 kernel introduced better allocation of network load across CPU cores. === Gskellig is now known as Gskellig|afk [11:37] madoo: the command swapon -s will give info about swap also === Gskellig|afk is now known as radpanda_ === radpanda_ is now known as Gskellig|afk [11:38] thats broplem did with my mp3 not mp3 on net its mean i uosed my music [11:39] ubuntu 11.10 its net book i dont want thats [11:39] * dr_willis has no idea what you just said madoo [11:39] CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, reports they have reconfirmed the data first reported in September showing neutrinos traveling faster than light -- something the Theory of Relativity says should be impossible. <-- einstein was wrong!

[11:41] GNOME 3 is the desktop environment on which Unity is based. To use GNOME Shell instead of Unity, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". GNOME 3 is not supported under Natty/11.04, and may break your system if installed from alternate sources. [11:41] do u want me download ubuntu 11.10 [11:41] yes [11:42] madoo: we first want you to make sense when trying to explain your problem [11:42] when i open my mp3 with web its make my laptop slow and move hard [11:42] I tried to change a value (in a game based on java) with SCANMEM then appears the following: info: 20/116 searching 0x88aa000 - 0x88af000...........ok [11:42] info: 21/116 searching 0x9de2000 - 0xb7e6000..scanmem: target_memory_info_array.c:66: allocate_enough_to_reach: Assertion `array->max_needed_bytes >= bytes_needed' failed.error: Killed by signal 6.

[11:46] L0rD`: not interested in stories here [11:46] madoo: Or are you trying to play your local MP3's in your web browser? That's a bad idea - use Rhythmbox or Banshee or Totem. [11:47] or audacious [11:47] well, ikonia, it seems it is possible http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1648319&page=2 [11:47] ikonia, i can't change the value (or the number) in the moment because it didn't find the value i want to change [11:48] rootux: how are you trying to change a value [11:48] cablop: I told you it was possible nad how to do it [11:48] Hi all. I installed Win7, then ran boot-repair from the Ubuntu 11.10 live CD to restore the grub menu. Although boot-repair finished successfully, it is still the Win7 boot menu that comes up, not grub. When invoking "update-grub", I get "/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?)." What should I do ? [11:48] i uose them for my local mp3 and i open something like youtube .... i get evrything slow and the songs cut and play and do thats to long [11:48] cablop: I told you starting ssh servers via initramfs wasn't the way to do this. [11:48] ikonia, but if it finds the value it type for example: set 9999 [11:48] rootux: how are you trying to change the value [11:49] ikonia, i type: set 9999 (for example) [11:49] hehe, then ikonia, what is the metod? because that one seems pretty old and debian based, and seems to have conflicts with plymouth [11:49] should i install a debian server instead? [11:49] that won't do anything [11:49] cablop: I'm not going over it again - do you really need encypted disks ? why ar eyou making this hard [11:49] ikonia, it do [11:50] rootux: it doesn't, but ok, if you think it does, fine [11:50] ikonia, if i start i flash game for example supertux [11:50] madoo: It sounds like your system is under-resourced. What CPU do you have and how much RAM do you have? [11:50] ikonia, if search for the pid [11:51] ikonia, well, we are going to use that server to hold a subversion repository and websites backups, both contains sensitive data, pretty sensitive data [11:51] ikonia, then i start scanmem with: sudo scanmem [11:51] cablop: then you should have a basic idea of what you're doing if the data is that sensative [11:51] ikonia, then i enter the pid of the game (for example supertux) [11:51] my cpu is core duo my ram is 512 laptop h.p 530 [11:52] ikonia, i used disk encryption for desktop and laptops... but never for a headless server... i know i can just put the machine close to another and just plug monitor and keyboard when booting [11:52] Core Duo what? [11:52] ikonia, and then if scanmem found the value i type: set 9999 (e.g) [11:52] Any help with my grub problem would be much appreciated. Thanks. [11:53] rootux: that not how you set memory in java [11:53] 512MB RAM should be enough for now, but upgrading to 1GB (if possible) may help. [11:54] ^512mb enough lol [11:54] ikonia, and how can i change values (memory) in java ? [11:55] ikonia, the first process i describe was a flash game :) [11:55] can you tell me what is good for me [11:55] rootux: look at -mnmax -nmmin and -maxpermsize [11:55] spitzi, Are you sure that your Win7 install didn't wipe all of your partitions? [11:55] sorry mnmin [11:55] ikonia, in scanmem ? sorry i' m a newbie :( [11:56] SideWinder1 - heavens no, I only installed it on an empty partition, where Ubuntu used to be, after deleting that partition. [11:56] no, as the java startup options [11:56] rootux: why are you trying to change the memory options ? [11:56] alteregod: Yeah, I doubt that 512 millibits of RAM would be much use :) [11:56] hello [11:57] ikonia, i only want to check i a java game thats everything it's just fun or i'm on the wrong track? [11:57] in fact I'm pretty sure bits are whole numbers :) [11:57] rootux: why are you trying to change these options ? [11:57] ikonia, i only want to cheat ohps [11:57] rootux: cheat ohps ? [11:58] madoo: What model is your Core Duo? [11:58] ikonia, i want to cheat that's everything [11:58] ikonia, in a game [11:58] rootux: I'm not wasting any more time on this, you want me to help you cheat on a game [11:59] hello, I have added this ppa: https://launchpad.net/~intuitivenipple/+archive/ppa but I can't seem to do apt-get install r5u870-dkms (one of the packages there) [11:59] rootux: you are wasting your time with scanmem trying to "cheat" on a game [11:59] ikonia, sorry [11:59] i dont know can you tell me haw i can know and tell you [11:59] rootux: Cheating is no fun -- it's like cutting up a manequin and calling yourself a murderer. [11:59] theadmin: please don't [11:59] ikonia: Okay, sorry. [12:00] Beefcakes: contact the PPA owner [12:00] rootux: Basically, this is honestly a wrong channel for this, try #ubuntu-offtopic [12:00] ikonia: oh. thats it? [12:00] Beefcakes: Are you sure that this package is available for your Ubuntu version? [12:00] BRB [12:01] Beefcakes: he's the only one who can fix issues with his PPA [12:01] ikonia: it's listed in his archives, i mean I should be able to get it right? [12:01] madoo: Open a terminal, type cd .. then type cd .. again [12:01] then type cd proc [12:01] theadmin: i actually dont know much of what I'm doing, the drivers of my laptop's webcam are supposedly in this PPA. [12:01] then type cat cpuinfo [12:01] scotty^: talk about a roundabout way of doing things, what's wrong with cat /proc/cpuinfo? [12:02] i did but i get notting [12:03] madoo: Try cat /proc/cpuinfo [12:03] Beefcakes: I see, did you check Ubuntu's "restricted drivers" tool? [12:03] mmv: Yeah that will work. I thought the other way might be more educational for him. [12:03] any ideas on how to make 11.10 grub working on EFI ASUS 1215B; just does not seem to try grub at all no matter what I try. I can boot with usb stick, use linux+initrd commands on grub command line to boot, and it works fine... [12:03] theadmin: where can I find that? upon refreshing laptop I remmeber this worked last time but I was using an older version [12:04] Beefcakes: Eh, I'm honestly not sure, which Ubuntu version are you running? [12:04] theadmin: the latest I think. whats that command again to find out? [12:04] Beefcakes: That'd be "lsb_release -sc" [12:04] Genuine Intel(R) CPU T2050 @ 1.60GHz [12:04] this [12:04] cash 2048 [12:04] lucid [12:04] madoo: Thats it. [12:05] Beefcakes: Well, then it's under System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers [12:05] yes === dirtypillows is now known as shamespiral [12:05] madoo: except I think u mean "cache 2048" === shamespiral is now known as ShameSpiral [12:05] scotty .... athats is bad [12:06] theadmin: the window just says No proprietary drivers are in use on this ysstem [12:06] yes it is [12:06] Beefcakes: I see, hm, well. [12:06] theadmin: nothing for me to reset [12:06] Beefcakes: I assume you have verified your camera ain't working with the standard software set? [12:06] theadmin: yes cheese, xawtv both dont work [12:07] madoo: Your system should be able to handle Ubuntu and play a local MP3 while browsing the web. [12:07] tell me a thats model can be good with ubuntu11.10 [12:07] what u mean [12:07] hey [12:08] Beefcakes: I see, well, honestly, no idea >.< [12:08] madoo: I mean everything should be OK. I'm not sure what the problem is. [12:08] you mean ubuntu is good for my laptop or no [12:08] madoo: 512 meters of ram is meh, try something more minimalistic... Give Xubuntu a shot. [12:09] hi, i went to ~/.ssh/ and i saw this file named "known_hosts" ,,what is that? [12:09] maybe the problem is i am new uoser in ubuntu and i have to know good abutit [12:09] sasori: man ssh has a FILES section [12:09] madoo: As I said earlier, a later kernel such as the one in Ubuntu 11.10 may help. If this strains your system too much it could be due to you 512MB of RAM, in which case Xubuntu or Lubuntu would be a better choice as they use "lighter" desktop environments that need less RAM. [12:09] oki [12:10] how do I setup a file server in Ubuntu Server 11.04 64bit and connect that to a web server? [12:10] theadmin: its fine. would you have any idea why I am not able to get the r5u870-dkms package from https://launchpad.net/~intuitivenipple/+archive/ppa? [12:10] scotty^: Then again, 11.10 comes with "Unity" which uses a heckload more of RAM. [12:10] sasori: everytime you connect to a host you get the prompt "Connect yes/no/alwats". theat's where they go if you remember them [12:11] scotty thank you [12:11] hello [12:11] how can i remove unity? [12:11] somsip: tnx [12:11] i get bios post fails when i run ubuntu 11.10 [12:11] !nounity | zfe [12:11] zfe: 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 [12:11] Beefcakes: There is no such package for your Ubuntu version in this PPA. [12:11] does anyone know why [12:11] zfe, sudo apt-get remove unity [12:11] madoo: Take note of what theadmin just said abut Unity - you will probably be better off with Xubuntu or Lubuntu. [12:12] madoo: Or you could upgrade your system to 1GB of RAM (if it is possible). [12:12] i get bios post fails when i run ubuntu 11.10 [12:12] does anyone know why [12:12] thankiss but i liked 10.10 [12:12] its better [12:12] so it resets my bios settings [12:12] theadmin: oh crap, then updating to lucid was bad :| [12:12] kilopopo: BIOS POST has *nothing* to do with an operating system. It's got nothing to do with Ubuntu, therefore. [12:13] Beefcakes: Probably you should find another PPA, this one seems to be rather old [12:13] theadmin when i shutdown ubuntu 11.10 then turn it on in bios post the system reboots again [12:14] but swap [12:14] did i can uose like ram [12:14] what it does is it makes the system fail boot [12:14] madoo: Swap is somewhat different than RAM -- Linux throws away things that you don't currently use from RAM to the swap, when you're short on RAM. [12:14] i need to save the bios again and again to make it working [12:14] kilopopo: Most likely it's due to poorly seated or damaged RAM modules. Reseat them in their sockets and if the problem still occurs run Memtest86+ from the GRUB menu. [12:15] theadmin: would you happen to know a workaround for me to at least get to that r5u870-dkms folder? I saw a few commands that might work [12:15] hy [12:15] Beefcakes: Sorry, I'm not going to help you break your system by installing a package from another Ubuntu version. [12:15] scotty^, im in 10.04 [12:15] any ideas on how to make ubuntu 11.10 grub working on EFI laptop, or... can I use windows 7 boot loader to chainload grub somehow? [12:15] y`m new [12:15] i shutdown and boot and no problem [12:16] ztane: sudo apt-get install grub-efi [12:18] madoo: Swap is virtual memory and acts similar to RAM, but it is not quite as good. Also, by default your swap partition is created with the same size as your RAM. So you get a bit less than double, depending on the tasks. You can get some info about your swap by opening a terminal and typing swapon -s [12:18] aha [12:19] swap + RAM is virtual memory [12:20] mmv: The whole memory pool is virtual now? I didn't know that. [12:20] sec, will open wikipedia [12:21] ' This technique virtualizes a computer architecture's various forms of computer data storage (such as random-access memory and disk storage), allowing a program to be designed as though there is only one kind of memory, "virtual" memory, which behaves like directly addressable read/write memory (RAM).' [12:22] mmv: Thanks. That's pretty cool. [12:23] I just had to login on another terminal to kill something misbehaving. Now that I am done, do I just logout of that terminal or is there something else I should do to kill it? [12:23] It makes sense that the operating system worries about those things and not the programs. [12:24] scotty^: so even if you have no swap at all, you still have virtual memory, its just that the VM address space would have to equal the available RAM, === MeQuerSat is now known as Okay === Okay is now known as Okay_you [12:26] why is gedit hiding .ini files from the directory view panel ? [12:27] I remember the DOS/Win 3.1 days when every printer-application combination you could think of needed a separate driver. eg. A driver for printer A with application A, another driver for printer B with application A, another driver for printer A with application B and another driver for printer B with application B. I was terrible! [12:28] I meant "It was terrible". === marc is now known as Guest38199 [12:29] theadmin: running apt-get upgrade now, maybe that's what's at fault here [12:30] hi all. How to share my wired conection via wifi to my tablet pc? [12:31] !adhoc [12:31] !ics | mudu_ [12:31] mudu_: If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing [12:32] ....for me, "ics" is "Ice Cream Sandwich", not "Internet Connection Sharing" xD [12:32] LOL [12:33] How is Android 4? [12:33] scotty^: No idea, I'm on 2.3.4 with an ICS golauncher theme xD [12:33] (yes I know that's offtopic, but surely a brief casual chat is OK) [12:33] OK [12:34] mudu_ Or buy a hub. [12:34] oops, NO! [12:34] HUBS ARE BAD! [12:35] Buy a *Switch* instead [12:35] ...get a router :D [12:36] theadmin: :) Presumably they already have a router. A lot of the routers supplied by ISPs are still single port though. [12:37] scotty^: My ISP supplies no router though, but whatever -- mind going to a query (pm session) with me about android? xD [12:40] I have 3.2Mp web cam but when i take any snapshot from it on resolution 1280*720 it shows that 1.4Mp cam pic?? [12:41] jiltdil: do the math, 1280x720 is about that [12:41] szal: How to take a pic about 3.2mp [12:42] jiltdil: read the owner's manual [12:42] bastidrazor, ok [12:43] szal,bastidrazor thanks [12:44] why does my empathy no longer log me in on msn? It just seems to be stuck on connecting [12:45] what is the diff between linux mint & ubuntu? [12:45] sometimes msn makes backwards incompatible updates to their protocol [12:46] mmv, this has been going on for a few weeks now and i have updated to the latest updates ... i would have guessed they updated it by now [12:46] RedAshes: Mint is based on Ubuntu. It uses another desktop environment (Gnome3 + MGSE) and has a different set of apps. [12:49] RedAshes basically, Mint looks different [12:50] hi people! [12:50] hi [12:51] i ran a windows program in wine in KDE, GNOME and xfce, and it worked in both kde and gnome but crashes in xfce [12:51] i have a problem with my ubuntu 11.04 [12:51] When I log out of a session (either classic or unity) I don't immediately go back to the lightdm login screen. Rather, I see a screen with multiple text messages, then the screen flickers, and then I get to the lightdm login screen. Is there a way to make this transition more smooth? I've read that a full reinstall + update fixes the transition issue, but I would rather not do this if at all possible. [12:51] Hey all [12:55] KDE is nice [12:55] Mornin' Blueskaj! [12:56] hiya Sidewinder1 [12:58] What is the proper way do define the default login session of [a user|everyone] in Oneiric? I'm trying "/usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm-set-defaults -s xfce" but Unity starts at boot. User is logged in automatically. [12:58] theadmin: the problem is, no matter where i install grub (grub-install --boot-directory=/boot /dev/sda, or /dev/sda1 or what not, it never ever tries to load grub [12:59] always boots to windows without any menu [12:59] ztane: Again, you have to use the GRUB from the grub-efi package, not the normal one [12:59] i am [12:59] up to date, all packages updated [13:01] i just wonder, whether or not this is a true EFI at all :S [13:02] hello, i know amarok is kubuntu application but i am in xubuntu... is there away to reduce how much memory it uses it's using 259,316k.. thats like as much as the entire OS by it self with Teampspeak 3 running... === max is now known as Guest2592 [13:06] I need a Windows Movie Maker alternative pls. :) [13:07] pitivi [13:07] KittyBunny, If you have lotsa $, Nero is good. [13:08] Sidewinder1: Huh? [13:08] theadmin: the solution: install grub-pc instead of the autodetected grub-efi !! [13:08] CDBurner XP is just as good, if we are talking about burning CDs and things. [13:08] KittyBunny, And, there's a "Nero for Linux." [13:09] ztane: but... grub-pc is for BIOS... [13:09] yes! [13:09] Sidewinder1: Nah [13:09] Otherwise Brasero works KittyBunny [13:09] KittyBunny, It ain't FOSS. [13:09] Has anyone here had issues with 11.10 and screen resolution on a 2nd monitor? [13:09] 11.10 installer recognized this as efi system, and [13:09] on boot it says "EFI" this and that :D [13:09] I said a Windows Movie Maker alternative. [13:09] the-erm, what Graphics card do you have? [13:09] I don't know it's built in. It worked fine in 10.04 LTS. [13:10] I am useing the webchat so this time my connection wont get killed by hackers [13:10] KittyBunny: http://alternativeto.net/software/windows-movie-maker/ [13:10] hello, can someone help me get my microphone working on skype? [13:11] yes [13:11] KittyBunny, Is this what you're lookin' for? http://blogcritics.org/scitech/article/making-dvds-with-devede-in-linux/ [13:11] talk to me in private chat [13:11] jutnux: I'm not even sure what to run to find out what card I have. [13:11] Okay [13:11] hola! [13:11] the-erm: Is it nVidia or ATI? [13:12] Sidewinder1: I want one that can create menus pls. [13:12] Most likely ATI. [13:12] when i have problems i go to askubuntu.com you will have to wait a hour or 2 though [13:12] theadmin: it seems to me that not all "EFI" systems are booting with EFI [13:12] ztane: True enough, I have a computer with something called "Insyde EFI H20" on it, that is, infact, a BIOS. [13:12] lsmod doesn't show ati or nvidia. [13:13] When i said Windows Movie Maker I meant Windows DVD Maker. [13:13] Are you running X the-erm? [13:13] Yes I'm running X. [13:13] KittyBunny, CDBurnerXP, Brasero etc [13:13] Have you tried editing your xorg.conf file? [13:13] theadmin: but what is even more confusing is that many ppl on the net have used grub-efi specifically to make oneiric work on this very model [13:13] I do you make ubuntu more secure? [13:13] the-erm: lspci|grep VGA [13:13] xorg.conf doesn't exist. [13:14] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (primary) (rev 03) [13:14] the-erm: How about "sudo X -configure"? [13:14] the-erm: That will autogenerate a proper xorg.conf [13:14] jutnux: It's not a burner [13:14] it's a DVD maker [13:14] Big difference [13:14] how do i make ubuntu more secure [13:14] the-erm: You mean screen as in, the terminal session program? [13:14] What's the difference? .... [13:14] Brasero burns discs. [13:15] Windows DVD Maker doesn't [13:15] theadmin: He does not need an xorg.conf [13:15] well it does [13:15] but it's like Windows Movie Maker [13:15] http://alternativeto.net/software/windows-dvd-maker/ KittyBunny [13:15] i love to use terminal [13:15] the default Sound Recorder with Ubuntu works well with my laptop's microphones, how come it doesnt work with Skype? [13:15] jutnux: I've just looked at that. [13:15] do you know any cool tricks [13:15] This is a different one. [13:15] KittyBunny, Then perhaps have a look at FFmpeg and it's GUI front end, winff; Not sure it's what you're lookin' for as I have used neither. [13:15] Beefcakes: Have you changed your settings in Skype? [13:15] theadmin: X is smart enough to guess what driver to load. In his case, it will always be intel. xorg.conf is only necessary for proprietary drivers [13:16] theadmin: The command you gave is only for nvidia setups [13:16] soreau: I see, sorry about that. [13:16] I mean I have 2 monitors, and one has the right resolution, and the 2nd won't go past 1024x768 It used to go to 1366x I can't remember. [13:17] the-erm, type xrandr.

[13:55] dabukalam: the intel cards are already supported, you don't need to compile anything [13:56] ssbpls: You cannot log in as root.

[13:56] Annelie, use the arrow keys < > to navigate to it ..probly on the far right [13:56] will try thnx [13:56] i can login in as root. [13:56] dabukalam: I don't know, as I don't know what you've done to mess it up, it should just work out of the box, the intel cards are supported [13:56] ssbpls: You shouldnt do so. Thats a severe security risk, AND root having a password is not the default in Ubuntu. [13:57] bekks:yes ,i know ,but i change it. [13:57] ikonia: that's great. you keep saying the same thing which is useless to my situation. I'm not looking for someone to tell me what I already know, I'm looking for someone to help me compile new ones. If you know anything about that please advise otherwise stop repeating yourself. [13:57] dabukalam: you don't need to compile new ones [13:58] ikonia: okay, so what do I do? [13:58] dabukalam: the reason you're probably having the problems is because you keep compiling things and overwriting the current modules [13:58] ermo: What do you mean 'you guys'? [13:58] i did go through everything but there was no automute. sometimes it goes on mute and then i have to plug and unplug a headphone plug :) [13:58] ikonia: how can I fix it?!!!?! [13:58] dabukalam: I don't know, as I don't know wha tyou've done so far, based on the conversation yesterday you're machine is in a mess [13:58] Annelie: F6 to select the card..

[13:59] dabukalam: if you want to correct gramma, thats great, if you want to resolve your problem you're in a mess [14:00] ssbpls: We dont know anything yet about the crash itself.

When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [14:00] hi everybody! [14:00] i did f6 and there was 0) default and 1) intel. i selected intel. I hope this solves something! :) [14:01] Annelie: It only shows you the settings for the other card.. [14:01] bekks:is there an url for paste the .png? [14:01] ikonia: do you know anything that might help me? [14:01] soreau: I was going on the assumption that you were affiliated with canonical/ubuntu and that you perhaps knew if this was a feature that canonical planned to introduce? :) [14:01] soreau: so what should i do? did i do something wrong? === Mud is now known as Guest73611 [14:01] ermo: You assumed wrong, sir [14:02] dabukalam: tons of things, however as I said, your machine sounds like it's in a mess as you keep compiling things and overwriting your default modules [14:02] (_8(¦) [14:02] soreau: So it would seem. :) -- you're affiliated with compiz? [14:02] Annelie: No, F6 just allows you to select which card's settings you're adjusting in alsamixer. It does nothing to actually switch cards [14:02] ikonia: okay. so what do I do to fix it? [14:03] ermo: Yes but they chose not to hire me so.. [14:03] dabukalam: if it was me, I'd go back to a clean fresh install and working it forward from there [14:03] oh ok i understand, but then i have already selected the correct card since it works again after putting it up. Im just annoyed of having to do that all the time :) [14:03] ssbpls: You could just tell us... [14:03] dabukalam: that way it's a known platform to work it through on [14:03] ikonia: I would do that do, but in this case I don't have that option. So what can I do to fix it? [14:04] dabukalam: you've made a mess of your machine then, and you can't explain what's been changed, so it's pretty hard to go through problem resolution [14:04] ikonia: a fresh install would solve my problem, if you know you how to fix it without doing that i'd be grateful. [14:04] Annelie: To actually switch cards, you'd want to look in gnome sound preferences (or whatever it's called) [14:05] soreau: unfortunately my webcam is of a no name brand and the usual trouble shoot articles didn't really do it for me :s [14:05] dabukalam: I don't wish to work thorugh your mess, you don't even known what you've changed so it would be quite long winded to work out what's changed [14:05] hello everybody, I have a problem, in my laptop with ubuntu 11.10, sometimes it log me off, automatically [14:05] ikonia: I can start with an lsmod... http://paste.ubuntu.com/743240/ [14:05] JustMozzy: Assuming it's on the universal serial bus, what does 'lsusb' say about it?

I will try on :) [14:05] bekks:here is the log from the /var/log/messages http://paste.ubuntu.com/743241/ [14:06] dabukalam: lsmod means 'list modules' and list all currently loaded kernel modules [14:06] I know what it means. [14:06] dabukalam: then why did you say it does something else ? [14:06] ikonia: Oh he didn't [14:07] I meant we can "start the diagnosis process with an lsmod" [14:07] ahhh [14:07] soreau: soreau it sees it properly. also dmesg tells me that it is mounted using uvc. all internals see it properly, except for Cheese, gstreamer and OpenCV [14:07] hi.i tried reinstalling synapse but i still needs to press super + space twice to bring synapse. help [14:07] dabukalam: we can't you don't know what you've changed, you don't know what's been put where and how it's changed your system - I don't want to try to undo that [14:07] dabukalam: the logical approach would be to backup your data, and do a clean install [14:07] JustMozzy: Tried re-plugging it? Or reloading the module for it if it's built-in? [14:08] abhijit: whats your problem ? [14:08] patjr: if I were in your position, I'd look into backing up my user data from ubuntu and then booting from e.g. a system rescue cd from http://sysresccd.org and use the GParted tool to make room for a windows install? [14:08] it log you out ? [14:08] ermo: and by making room, I mean 'resize the ubuntu partition' :) [14:08] * ermo realizes he's talking to himself [14:08] hey guys i cant join gcc channel so i try to ask here, how can i manually link shared libraries in gcc command? [14:08] Germanaz0: => hi.i tried reinstalling synapse but i still needs to press super + space twice to bring synapse. help [14:08] patjr: and by making room, I mean 'resize the ubuntu partition' :) [14:08] !register | juhsis [14:08] juhsis: Information about registering your nickname: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. Registration help available by typing /join #freenode [14:08] patjr: and no, I can't talk you through it. [14:09] juhsis: Why cant you join that channel? [14:09] juhsis: if you register you can join the #gcc channel [14:09] juhsis: -lLib [14:09] i dont want to do it with -llib === fxjumper_ is now known as fxjumper [14:09] juhsis: Then join #gcc [14:09] soreau: tried pretty much everything. am working on this problem for over a week now :s I thought maybe the gstreamer error could be helpful? [14:09] funny thouh that lsusb sees my webcam as an integrated webcam although it is a USB external one [14:10] ermo: ok ill try it ill be back if it didnt work. thanks! [14:10] problem only that I of course forgot my cam at home ... ugh === jalen- is now known as jalen [14:10] JustMozzy: The most helpful thing you can do is google the vendor:product id of the device (from lsusb in the form of xxxx:xxxx) with keyword ubuntu or your version of ubuntu [14:10] patjr: Do take some time to read a little about what you're about to do! [14:11] patjr: something like http://gparted.sourceforge.net/larry/resize/resizing.htm [14:11] ermo: ok kind sir! [14:12] JustMozzy: If no one else is having similar issues with this same model cam, try a live session to see if it's not a local problem [14:12] patjr: and one other thing: When you install windows, it will _overwrite_ your current master boot record (if you're on a non-mac/non-uefi machine) [14:12] soreau: good idea, I'll try that one out once I am home. I could then also compare dmesg, lsusb and other outputs. thanks [14:13] patjr: so you'll need your ubuntu cd/usb key to be able to boot ubuntu [14:13] soreau: do you think it could be also a problem of packages that I could install? [14:13] patjr: I run a laptop with the same config -- the trick is to install the grub2 bootloader in the same partition as the ubuntu install. [14:13] ermo: so i will back up everything then just to make sure [14:14] patjr: that a boy :) [14:14] patjr: it's not impossible to do -- it's just tricky and you need to be prepared to learn a few tricks [14:14] ermo: but was it possible to just install windows inside lets say a usb drive? [14:15] JustMozzy: Instead of speculating, I'd prefer people that I assist have the problem machine physically at their full disposal [14:15] patjr: I'm sure it's possible. I don't know how and I'm not sure why you'd want to do it? [14:15] patjr: is it your laptop? === RudyValencia- is now known as RudyValencia [14:15] soreau: fully understandable [14:15] ermo: how i wanna try it :) [14:16] JustMozzy: ie. sitting in front of the machine and not remote logged or daydreaming at work [14:16] ermo:yup its mine [14:16] patjr: you may be able to use an external harddrive and install windows on that .. [14:16] Hello everyone. MSN protocol is still unusable for me with empathy on Oneiric, even after the python-papyon update and trying the patched version in Bug #887349. Anyone got a fix ? Is it working for you ? Thanks. [14:16] Launchpad bug 887349 in papyon (Ubuntu Lucid) "Can't login in Windows live acount using empathy" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/887349 [14:16] soreau: hehe, yeah. I usually have everything handy, just forgot to pack my cam today. still didn't get used to having an external one [14:16] Narc: Try pidgin? [14:16] a flash drive would need to be at least 32gb before I'd be comfortable recommending it, and on top of that you have a host of wear-issues to contend with. [14:16] ermo: really? [14:17] reall. [14:17] Narc: looks like that bug is still active [14:17] +y [14:17] ermo: how i love to try it [14:17] patjr: what's the capacity of your current hard drive? [14:17] hi [14:18] ermo: my laptops hard drive is only 160gb and i have 320gb external hard drive [14:18] I am new, want to learn linux from scratch, is ubuntu the best to start with? Confused between ubuntu, openSUSE and Fedora, please let me decide [14:18] Noob12: depends on what aspect you want to learn [14:18] Noob12: the hosts are listed in the book and their issues, eg: fedoras gcc is a problem [14:19] abhijit: linux in general, from the zero level [14:19] Noob12: First, start with a Linux distro like Ubuntu. [14:19] Noob12: just follow and READ the book and you'll be fine [14:19] soreau: Pidgin seems to work, I wanted to know about empathy though because that's what I normally use. [14:19] ikonia: fedora is thus not good? [14:19] Narc: right [14:19] bekks: okay [14:19] Noob12: the book details the usable hosts and their problems [14:19] which book? [14:19] Noob12: if you just want to learn linux to be able use it fluently for all the day to day work - professional or home then go for ubuntu. if you want to see the things behind the curtains - how actually each thing happend then you may want to try slackware or arch [14:19] Noob12: Ubuntu will be a comfortable starting point, I'm sure. IMHO, you'll need a fairly thick skin if you decide to start out with fedora :) [14:20] Noob12: the Linux From Sratch book [14:20] he was not talking about that book. he even dont know about that book. [14:20] thanks fedora is such a tough it mean, but where it is? [14:20] the book? [14:20] Noob12: where you not talking about the the Linux From Scratch distro/project ? [14:20] patjr: how much space are you using for data (i.e. not OS) in your ubuntu install? [14:20] ikonia: I don't think so ;) [14:21] it would appear not [14:21] i don't know anything in linux, you told abt book? [14:21] Noob12: ignore me, I miss-understood what you where asking [14:21] ok [14:21] Noob12: Linux from scratch is a book/guide that takes you through how to build your own linux distrubtion. [14:21] my own? [14:21] like ubuntu? [14:21] No. [14:21] ermo: i dont have a partition, i mistakenly install ubuntu using all my hard drive [14:21] Noob12: yes [14:21] Ubuntu is a pre-compiled distro. Just use it to get familiar with Linux at all. [14:22] okk, if i go for ubuntu (100%) , can i learn the linux from zero level? [14:22] Noob12: start with step 1. get hold of linux by using ubuntu for some days. [14:22] some days,...and then? [14:22] s/days/weeks/ [14:22] Noob12: You have no knowledge about Linux - that is zero level. And take about some months, not days. [14:22] okk [14:22] ermo: and the worst is it was being formatted into ext4 [14:23] Noob12: You can learn linux from the zero level, yes. It depends on what 'zero level' means to you. :) [14:23] Months or years. [14:23] it would give me the basic learning tutorials? [14:23] zero level mean i even dont know how to install [14:23] Noob12: No. You have to search them on your own, depending on what you want to learn. [14:23] patjr: being formatted into ext4 is actually a good thing -- for a linux installation '^^ [14:23] Noob12: ubuntu.com tells you how [14:23] Noob12: https://help.ubunu.com - se ubuntu and use that link to do what you want [14:23] Noob12: that URL will guide you how to use it at a basic level [14:24] ikonia: You missed a "t" [14:24] ikonia, ermo, bekks: ty [14:24] Noob12: yeah, look, start using ubuntu, and learn how to use it graphically ; after some weeks, you will want to learn the command line interface, which is a good step 2 [14:24] https://help.ubuntu.com [14:24] ah well [14:24] okk [14:24] ermo: yeah that is why i cant boot my windows now and run my favorite visual studio.. lol! [14:25] can you link me directly how to install ubuntu on 250 gb hard disk, i am much confused in partitioning..... [14:25] Noob12: Read the link... [14:25] ok [14:25] help.ubuntu.com ??? [14:25] Noob12: https://help.ubuntu.com [14:25] ok [14:25] search here "how to install"? [14:25] Noob12: plus the most important think is: read documtation, when you had done that, you have to read more documentation, and read more even [14:26] s/think/thing/ [14:26] e20100633, bekks, ikonia: ty [14:26] Noob12: No. Open the link. Start reading. [14:26] i just wish they could develop vb4linux soon cant wait to see it running [14:26] i search there , how to install [14:26] Noob12: No. Open the link. Start reading first...

[15:04] create virtual worlds with virtualbox insyall the versions you want to test | salvatore [15:04] steelrat: if it's attached to your add-in card, then that's what is being used :) [15:05] ermo: http://pastebin.com/Ld861nte [15:05] i don't want virtual wolrd... [15:05] it charge performance [15:05] ermo: it's attached to my add-in card.. so it's not my extra video card a problem ? [15:06] !RESOURCES [15:06] steelrat: I think the 'problem' is that your integrated graphics card is not disabled, and hence reserves some of your system ram to use as texture memory :) === ASKidwai is now known as AwayKid [15:07] steelrat: your add-in card is much more powerful than the integrated gfx [15:07] ermo: ok, i will check it in bios, will you be here in a couple of minutes? [15:07] steelrat: sure thing -- best of luck :) [15:07] ermo: ok ,thanks) [15:08] DIL: sounds like you were spot on w/steelrat's issue! [15:08] :-) [15:08] ermo: i don't get it [15:09] steelrat: I thought you were rebooting to disabled your integrated graphics? ;) [15:09] *disable [15:09] ermo: i am )) [15:09] how to auto identify in the x chat [15:09] i mean i do [15:09] right ?) [15:09] my one server with ubuntu 10.04 64 bit keeps restarting after few flickering of screen is it os bug .??and i have i3 pc and no graphic card ..8 gb ram [15:10] steelrat: DIL just said that he suspected that your issue was related to integrated graphics or your motherboard. I think it's related to integrated graphics as well. Now go reboot, shooo! ;) [15:10] some devices have own memory -the ones that do not have to be allocated from the 4gb [15:11] how to auto identify in the x chat [15:11] hello everyone [15:12] sskniranjan_ mint linux has done it but i dont know how . [15:13] Has anyone installed gnome 3 on their system and selected GNOME in the LDM and gmone 2 still loads?? [15:13] *gnome [15:13] crossenvi: You should select "Gnome Shell", I beleive [15:14] crossenvi, do you see applications, places, AND System in the panel? [15:14] theadmin: On my system, "Gnome" selects gnome-shell. [15:15] just application and places [15:15] crossenvi, so it's NOT gnome2, it's gnome3 [15:15] ratcheer: +1 here [15:15] ratcheer: Maybe (s)he just installed gnome shell on top of gnome2 [15:15] crossenvi: there is no gnome2 on oneiric [15:15] theadmin, it's gnome3 fallback - no System menu [15:15] zykotick9_: Oh, I see. [15:16] * theadmin has a huge lag (3 seconds) so I guess my messages end up delivered rather late, sorry. [15:16] so do i need to remove and install a different package [15:16] !notunity > crossenvi [15:16] crossenvi, please see my private message === max is now known as Guest72901 [15:16] crossenvi: Try to "sudo apt-get install gnome-shell", and if that gives you "gnome-shell is already the latest version", make sure you have the proper graphic drivers. [15:17] theadmin: I take it you haven't read about the recent completion of the simulated mars mission where lag was, what, 25 minutes? ;) [15:17] ermo: lol nope, did not\ [15:18] * little_attoparse [15:19] I've reinstalled grub and now my computer's not booting. Says there's no such device as the one I installed to, even though when I boot from my thumb drive, that disk is definitely there. === seshagiri is now known as [BIOS]seshagiri [15:20] did you use UUID's [15:20] yes [15:20] well, grub-mkconfig did [15:20] try to run update-grub [15:21] that doesn't exist within grub2 [15:21] LogicallyDashing: It does, it's called "update-grub2" though [15:21] ...oh [15:21] @ubottu > yes this is the whole reason why im trying to get gnome3 to work because the gnome tweak tool doesn't load the shell extensions and i realized it was because i wasn't in gnome3 at least thats what i thought. I have the latest version of gnome-shell installed. [15:22] ubottu is a bot [15:22] Yes, I can confirm that I am a bot. http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots for all information. [15:22] Assuming it's possible, is it advisable to use and external HD as /home? [15:22] I will try to log out and see if there is an option for gnome-shell [15:22] I think I have starte liking Unity [15:22] hdpb: how "external" is it? Will you leave it plugged in all the time no exceptions? [15:22] Thanks a lot guys [15:23] Gnome gave me few problems [15:23] Hallo === XelmepAW is now known as Xelmep [15:24] i need a help please !

[15:25] ermo: hi [15:25] i need to install VPN server [15:25] on my VPS ubuntu server [15:26] Xelmep: describe your issue (detailed) on single line. Then sit back and have some patience [15:26] ok, Ocean. [15:26] ermo: the only option that could be related to video that i found was this one: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/3/img20111119191250.jpg/ i've switched it to PCIEx but nothing changed [15:27] please post your grub.cfg on pastebin or something [15:27] I'll try [15:28] ha, solved it [15:28] how ? [15:28] Need help with your iphone, ipad, ipod touch and apple tx join are IOS chat on irc.silentspark.net #ios ( live view ) - ( http://is.gd/E9KShI ) [15:28] sorry, guys, i forgot the name.. erry or ermo i have talked to? :) [15:28] steelrat: that's the correct screen. [15:28] when I installed grub from my thumb drive it assumed that the stage1.5+ stuff was going to be on that same drive [15:29] I thought I'd told it otherwise, with --boot-directory [15:29] anyone can help me configure sawfish ? [15:29] But apparently not [15:29] good [15:29] steelrat: you'll need to reboot again and twiddle with 'DVMT' [15:29] Anyway I ran grub-install within a chroot of my main drive and now it works. [15:30] if you're a normal end user, is it pretty safe to 'apt-get autoremove'? [15:30] steelrat: if you can't outright disable the damn thing, use 'FIXED' instead of DVMT and set it to the lowest possible RAM amount. [15:30] ermo: so.. then it's not the problem.. btw, before that i had only 2Gb of RAM and there was no problem like this, so i think it's something with memory addressing.. [15:30] I intalled PPTP VPN Server on Ubuntu Server 10.04, I configured by the web tutorial from this link (http://ariejan.net/2010/10/11/setup-a-ubuntu-vpn-server) and now i can`t connect from my PC by the new VPN connection with username and password confidured in /etc/ppp/chap-secrets. And i have error 800 by dialing. [15:30] no [15:30] Ok im back, here are the choices I have in the LDM "GNOME", "GNOME Classic", "GNOME Classic (No Effects)", "Recovery Console", "Ubuntu", "Ubuntu 2D", "User Defined Session" also the "sudo apt-get install gnome-shell" is up to date so im not understanding why gnome shell is not an option. There where no errors when installing. [15:31] HelloWorld321 autoremove removes dependencies that are not used anymore. it is safe [15:31] Xelmep: check /var/log/daemon.log for errors [15:31] steelrat: Please, could you just minimize the memory and choose 'FIXED' instead of 'DVMT', please? [15:31] * ermo has seen those screens before on Dell PCs [15:31] ermo: this is the screen before i have pressed enter. after enter there was X's on memory size, dvmt mode and dvmt memory size, so it looks disabled [15:31] HelloWorld321: Yes, apt-get autoremove is completely safe as normal user because it will fail. =:-) [15:31] steelrat: Aha. [15:32] should i remove gnome-panel? could that be affecting gnome3 from loading [15:32] crossenvi: That should be "GNOME", then [15:32] ermo: i can't, 'cause when i choose PCIExt it's grayed [15:32] crossenvi: If it doesn't load, your graphics driver is at fault, and you need to try another one [15:32] xauth: normal end user is different than normal user. you're confused [15:32] what is the best tool on Ubuntu to work with GIT [15:33] bastidrazor: Enlighten me. To my knowledge, there is root and there is everything else. [15:33] varun06: "git". [15:33] steelrat: Oh, ok. When you reboot again, pick PCI again, and minimize the memory used, save, reboot, switch to PCIe (not sure if it'll work, but it's worth a try) === momchil1 is now known as j1tsky [15:33] llutz: i see ta log file [15:33] can i send you to pvt ?

[15:33] ermo: ok, i will, but one question: shouldn't it be a problem before installing extra 2x1Gb? :) [15:34] steelrat: we'll get to that -- there might be some AGP memory hole quirk with the chipset [15:34] if a debian like system doesn't have lsb_release installed does anyone else know a good way to tell the distribution? like on red hat based you can usually cat /etc/redhat-release [15:34] crossenvi: Define "doesnt work" please. [15:34] ermo: thanks anyway! i'll be back! :) [15:34] SolarisBoy: cat /etc/issue [15:34] ermo: oh, wait [15:34] steelrat: good luck mate :) [15:34] llutz: thanks a lot !! =) [15:35] xauth: end user is a person who uses a product. normal user a restricted account on the box. [15:35] gwibber doesn't want to work with the new identi.ca. in fact, seems like it handles adding new accounts rather ineffectively [15:35] ermo: will my computer boot when i'll set the video memory as low as i can? [15:35] SolarisBoy: cat /etc/release [15:35] When loading drivers for it startx crashes [15:35] steelrat: your add-in video card has its own video RAM on board. So yes, it will. [15:35] crossenvi: Did you investigate why that happens? Which card do you have actually? [15:36] bekks, llutz is one more dependable than the other or should any do fine,, im writing a script thats going to first check if it get it from lsb_release and if thats not there i wanted to see if i can get it from a file like such [15:36] ermo: Were you the one in here who said unity wasn't gnome-shell based? Cause this says otherwise: http://www.techdrivein.com/2011/10/15-things-i-did-after-installing-new.html (and yes, I have gnome-shell installed as well). [15:36] * xauth was never a people person.

[15:37] bekks it was not on purpose [15:37] cablop: i like lvm personally [15:37] ask quassel why it is showinf that thing [15:37] ermo: ok, to be clear: will it try to boot with PCI Slot (which i'll choose now) and when fail it will boot with PCIEx? [15:37] ermo: You wouldn't happen to know how why my shortcuts tab (under keyboard under system settings) is missing? [15:37] not his fault.. he just leet, yknow [15:37] cablop: because you configured it to do so. [15:37] can you see i am using normal fonts in this moment? [15:38] nvidia gforce gtx 560m [15:38] bekks I DIDN'T CONFIGURED ANYTHING [15:38] lorddelta: mine isn't missing but i can't change any of the shortcuts how i used to be able to.. like change the terminal shortcut to open terminator =( [15:38] *CONFIGURE [15:38] sorry for the late response [15:38] Bekks no need to be so cross after a one time occurence :> [15:38] SolarisBoy: What's your 'dpkg -l gnome-control-center | grep -i version' [15:38] steelrat: reboot, change to PCI, use as little ram as possible, reboot, change to PCIe [15:39] weirdness its blank.. its that on more than one line? [15:39] one sec [15:39] 1:3.2.1-0ubuntu1 [15:39] version is a header =) [15:39] huh? [15:39] * gnomitsu removes gwibber. reason: unusable [15:39] bekks: Sorry nvidia gforce 460M [15:40] SolarisBoy: Yeah I figured that out too. :P Sorry. But, I'm running a version up... 1:3.2.2-0ubuntu1, yay people taking functionality OUT of software. [15:40] lol [15:40] thats always great [15:41] SolarisBoy: I'd say the Gnome people failed the class where you add features to new bits of software... [15:41] agreed += 1 [15:41] i am new to vim editor, can some one please tell me how can i search and replace ", " with a line break character ? [15:42] t2mahesh: with a break character? [15:42] http://imagebin.org/184757 my logs from ppptd [15:42] SolarisBoy: \n which can give a line break [15:42] t2mahesh: try something like s/,/"\n"/g [15:42] :%s/,/character/g [15:42] bekks: It's an alienware m17x r3 system that I'm pissed that I can't use the graphics card in linux!!!! I think it has to do with the fact that it has 2 graphic cards one on board "an intel sandy bridge" and the gforce 460m [15:42] oh... a new line.. [15:42] t2mahesh: :%s/, /\r/g [15:42] yes [15:43] http://imagebin.org/184756 logs 1 side [15:43] yea if you wanna go it globally,, you can also go gc if you want it to ask you on each one [15:43] Greetings. In Gnome 3 for Ubuntu 11.04/11.10, is it possible to set the main panel on the left to use smaller icons, or to appear at the bottom? [15:43] :%s/, /\r/gc [15:43] *or would be 'and' [15:44] lorddelta: gconf-editor might be worth a try re. keyboard short cuts? [15:44] xauth, SolarisBoy: thanks it worked [15:44] but what is /g or /gc [15:44] global and global with confirmation @ t2mahesh [15:44] t2mahesh: /g means all occurrences on the line. /c means confirm each replacement [15:44] got it :) [15:45] : /g would just go ahead and change all occurences with no prompting where the latter would ask if you wanted to change it y/N type menu [15:45] ... i type so slow =( [15:45] * xauth smirks. [15:45] Xelmep: does your VPS have ppp modules loaded? lsmod |grep ppp [15:45] SolarisBoy: or you type too long lines. [15:45] llutz: i`m not shure [15:45] crossenvi: And both cards are known to be working I guess - so check the error logs. [15:45] lol yea,, im wordy =) [15:45] how to test it ? [15:45] ermo: I did try that, /apps/metacity/keybinding_commands....but I'm wondering if some of the keys got deleted...I don't see anything along the lines of "hide all windows"...and I never seem to be able to find the right documentation when I visit Gnome's site. [15:45] Xelmep: does your VPS have ppp modules loaded? lsmod |grep ppp [15:46] llutz: I`m not shure, how to test it??? I have webmin Control Panel [15:46] Xelmep: read the part after the questionmark, its the command to test [15:46] did someone say to try gconf-editor to change my keyboard shortcuts.. thats a good idea i think i haven't tried that... seems the settings in the keyboard shortcuts tab are greyed out, not "editable" [15:46] lorddelta: I personally prefer unity to GNOME 3, tbh. [15:46] Xelmep: and drop webmin crap [15:47] !!keyboard [15:47] To switch your keyboard layout on GNOME: System -> Preferences -> Keyboard | KDE: System Settings -> Regional & Language -> Keyboard Layout | XFCE: Settings -> Settings Manager -> Keyboard, Layout [15:47] SolarisBoy: If you figure out where those keys are put, or better yet where the documentation for those keys are.... [15:47] ok llutz just a moment [15:47] I'd be obliged. [15:47] ermo: I prefer no Unity/Gnome3 :P [15:47] I prefer twm, but then I'm an old geezer. [15:47] anyone discouraging the use of LVM? [15:48] moza: And, yes, that's the answer that's plastered very unhelpfully across the internet. [15:48] moza: its irrelevant when you don't have that tab, or don't know where the gconf keys are. [15:48] and why ? [15:49] !webmin | Xelmep [15:49] Xelmep: webmin 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. [15:49] lorddelta, i don't understand what you are talking about? [15:49] is it possible to add one line break \r after evey 50th line using vim, there are total 857 lines in the file [15:50] lorddelta: yea,, im in the editor && lost at the moment =) [15:50] oh sorry lorddelta i should have done that in private. [15:50] t2mahesh: I'm not sure you can do it using vim, but it won't be too hard to write some program that just does that [15:51] moza: what ubottu had to say...it doesn't apply if when you go to your System Settings -> Keyboard, there's no tab for shortcuts, at least not in my version [15:51] t2mahesh: its possible to edit ranges,, and i believe a list of line numbers,, [15:51] hey guy's my MMC Card reader (Jmicron) dont recognize nothing. From dmesg i got "mmc0: Card is consuming too much power!" could be this the source of problem? [15:51] moza: though I think that's because it got (hopefully temporarily) removed. [15:51] where can I get help getting a Hauppauge PVR 350 working to watch tv in us from analog cable? [15:51] t2mahesh: if you have like vim compiled with perl/ruby you can likely do some sort of counting loop [15:51] theadmin: yes true, but i thought to ask if there is something already their in vim [15:52] lorddelta, it was helping me, and i indeed apologizw for not having asked that to ubottu in private, but i forgot the name of the bot. [15:52] Maybe ask in #vim, t2mahesh [15:52] t2mahesh: Also, there's emacs... [15:52] ew [15:52] pr0teus, yes, if the MMC reader is connected to an unpowered usbhub [15:52] t2mahesh: run all your lisp in one place. [15:52] Logically: Yes, that's the plan. [15:52] SolarisBoy: What? I like it better than vim. That's just a preference though. [15:53] pr0teus, connect it directly, or use an adapter to power the hub [15:53] i honestly haven't dealt with emacs enough to judge but vim satisfies all my needs,, even for a ide [15:53] *an === AwayKid is now known as ASKidwai [15:53] getting fed up with compiling apps from source that have improper make files and no ./configure files... what's happened to make and cmake , don't ouput errors revealing the problem anymore? All the tutorials I followed resulted in the same errors , "make no targets specified and no makefile found. stop" [15:53] ppcblaster, do you have some digital2analog adapter? There is no analog cable in the US/Canada anymore. [15:54] SolarisBoy: Don't call vim an ide, that's offensive for it you know -- ide's are bloated silly things [15:54] m very impressed with VIM, once got familiar with the commands its so hot hot [15:54] SolarisBoy: Oh, but religious holy wars have been fought on this subject. So I will decline to tell you to use emacs, just saying I tried both and like emacs better...(I'm a fan of AI and as such lisp is attractive to me anyhow, not that I know how to use it well) [15:54] llutz: lsmod | grep ppp is not installed [15:54] theadmin: its true,, i guess ur right,, its actually why i use vim to program ,, or script in rather,, because its *not* all fat and silly etc etc [15:54] well it's what ever channels I get connecting tv card to cable without a box [15:54] LogicallyDashing: we have a newer laptop and an ancient desktop. Want to get rid of the 70G desktop and consolidate... [15:55] lorddelta: i've been fixing myself to play with it some [15:55] Xelmep: ?? whats the exact output of that command? [15:55] nothin [15:55] ok, let's try. I have a problem with my keyboard. Sometimes, some keys are not recognized anymore. Like right now, one of my "enter" keys is not responding. The other is working fine. Is there anything i could verify on the software level ? [15:55] I have two cards hvr-1250 and old PVR 350 [15:55] ppcblaster, and is that "none" right now? [15:55] root@rostuse:~# lsmod | grep ppp [15:55] root@rostuse:~# [15:55] The advantage of learning VI over EMACS is that any *nix box you ever work on has VI by default.

[15:56] ppcblaster, does your 350 get any channels? I'd be amazed if it did, it shouldn't. [15:56] Xelmep: you should be able to install the kernel-modules then, check your VPS-controlpanel [15:56] hi [15:56] Sinjet: "every"? Not really, I've met many distributions that come without vim... Ubuntu does so, I think. [15:56] i just had to close aptana studio which im trying to learn to like... but apparently not so much,, because im back to vim already =) [15:57] Xelmep: if you cannot find something, ask provider-support to install kernel-modules [15:57] theadmin: Not talking about vim, vi rather. [15:57] theadmin, every POSIX compatible OS should have vi. [15:57] no when I try VLC or metv or TV-Viewer I do not know how to point the software to the correct place [15:57] zykotick9_: I see. [15:57] llutz: can you tell me how can i do it ?? how to install kernel modules [15:57] ? [15:57] ermo: ok.. nothing is changed. i tried to run memtest and it's also can see my 4 Gb of RAM, but is it going to test just 3326 Mb?

[16:00] ermo: sorry for annoying, but are you there? :) [16:00] Brandon: i've done it on a non ubuntu system.. the latest versions of openssh let you do it within ssh its self [16:01] Brandon: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/590 [16:01] llutz: OpenVZ is virtualization on the server where i trying to install VPN server [16:02] Hi why does my 17 inch sreen works but my 37 inch lcd does not/ubuntu 11.04 [16:02] scar3crow, you should install the recommended driver in admin additional drivers [16:02] needs openssh >= 4.8p1 [16:02] Xelmep: then you have to ask your provider to enable ppp for the vps, you have no own control over this [16:02] SolarisBoy: Thanks a lot, I actually plan to do it on Debian but the Debian channel seems to be dead [16:02] ok, many thanks llutz [16:03] Xelmep: same situation here with one of my vps, since they changed from XEN to OpenVZ last week :( [16:03] hai! [16:03] Brandon: that should work i *believe* it does ssh also but i forget,, it definately does sftp "jails" [16:03] SolarisBoy: I only wish to use sftp either ;) [16:03] steelrat: I'm leaving -- will be back in 30 mins. What's up? [16:03] i will try to change or buy new VPS Server where i will have more permisions [16:03] sweet =) [16:04] ermo: ok.. nothing is changed. i tried to run memtest and it's also can see my 4 Gb of RAM, but is it going to test just 3326 Mb? I didn't wait till it ends, too much time. http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/28/img20111119194227.jpg/ [16:04] Xelmep: look for XEN and the ability to install all neccesary modules. [16:04] Xelmep: or just ask the provider about ppp-support, before buying [16:05] llutz: tell me is possible to install on this machine, WEBCAM Server to stream video on website. ex. I have wireless IP canera in my home, i want the camera to stream video to server, then server to re-stream to visitors on my website [16:05] Xelmep: i guess it is but i don't know. sry i don't deal wit multimedia/video/audio [16:05] ok [16:05] you can do that from webcamstudio [16:05] many thanks again [16:06] Xelmep: the easiness of doing that depends on what file transfer protocol you want to use [16:07] Myrtti: i want my wireless IP camera to stream video in my VPS Ubuntu server [16:07] then UBUNTU to make stream video to all my visitors in my website [16:07] Xelmep: stream steady video or still images?

[16:28] hi; there [16:28] jazwec, and what kind of drive is it? make, model, internal, external? [16:28] jazwec, and what, if anything, have you done so far to try to make it work? [16:28] gmachine_24 it does, it reads CDs normally..the thing is i need to mount ISO the way it mounts cdrom to make wine recognize it [16:29] wow, ubuntu has safeguards against "rm -rf /"... try it to see...

[16:34] But I don't have the add-apt-repository command on this ubuntu machine [16:34] any ideas how I can get it, or otherwise add a ppa repository? [16:34] gmachine_24: it founds it [16:35] steelrat: back. So? [16:35] ermo: welcome back.. so, do you have any ideas? :) [16:36] steelrat: Your memtest screenshot is interesting [16:36] ermo: why? [16:36] jazwec, so check that info against what is in you fstab file by: sudo nano /etc/fstab [16:36] azariah4: add-apt-repository is in the package python-software-properties, install that first (sudo apt-get install python-software-properties) See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu#Adding_PPAs [16:37] OerHeks: my MMC reader is built-in (notebook) [16:37] test [16:37] steelrat: because it shows me which RAM you have :) -- see http://en.community.dell.com/what-do-i-buy/f/3510/p/18798985/19094206.aspx [16:37] OerHeks: how do i check if its powered up, if don't how do i do that? [16:37] oCean: thanks! it worked [16:37] jazwec something like dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9960 user,noauto 0 0 [16:37] azariah4: please be aware that, though PPA's can provide lots of additional software, they're not supported (3rd party) repositories [16:38] pr0teus, that is unusual, build-in mmc readers should work fine. [16:38] jazwec, it should match the output from the dmesg check [16:38] gmachine_24: this is what i added today /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 [16:38] SolarisBoy: Still here? [16:38] #ino [16:39] facing problem running adempiere on ubuntu 11.xx any help [16:39] pr0teus, i thought you used an external, maybe connected to a non-powered hub, not the case. [16:39] steelrat: bottom line: you'll need to update your bios [16:39] gmachine_24: i dont know what should match..the only similarity i see is the /dev/sr0 [16:39] ermo: well, thank you very much for finding this thread. the only problem - i have no idea how to upgrade it :) [16:39] jazwec, is this an internal or external drive [16:40] gmachine_24: internal..."eject sr0" works [16:40] steelrat: it's not that bad -- let's see if I can help you out (done this many many times with different boards from different manufacturers) [16:40] ok [16:40] Does anyone know what to put into ${font} to use the font Pursia 18 in conky? [16:40] Do I obliviously nedd libpam-chroot package for chrooting a sftp user ? [16:41] ermo: thank you very very much! [16:41] jazwec, so after /dev/sr0 there's no /media/cdrom0 or something like that [16:41] ? [16:41] jazwec, forget that, I just reread your post [16:42] steelrat: http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/inspd530/en/om/html/appendix.htm#wp1146179 [16:42] how do I add an entry into /etc/resolv.conf without it being overwritten? [16:42] steelrat: I'm not sure that makes sense to you, but I'm guessing you'll need a windows installation to do the bios update [16:42] * ermo looks some more [16:42] splnet, copy it backup [16:43] maxxx: I mean it gets overwritten with dhcp [16:43] ermo: is wine ok? ) [16:44] steelrat: probably not. But don't despair just yet. [16:44] splnet: either enter your networkmanager connection or your dhclient.conf to set dns [16:44] ermo: i don't get it, do i need to just run upgrade program from windows and it will update the bios? [16:44] splnet, dhcp should not be any problem unless you are static [16:45] ermo: i thought it should be a bit more complicated [16:45] jazwec, ok I'm at a loss. I don't know what the utf8 refers to but maybe there is someone here to knows more about this [16:45] hew im a newbie to linux ubuntu [16:45] but im having a problem [16:45] hi guys [16:45] steelrat: I don't have a dell system handy, so I can't answer you on the specifics. Right now I'm looking at the dell website to find the bios. [16:45] when i stream flash videos or any other type of video using firefox chronium after a few min its like the framerate lags [16:45] how do i fix it [16:46] gmachine_24: can you please tell me how is your cdrom identified in fstab? [16:46] llutz: right its says overwritten by networkmanager. So I want to add a "search domain.com" line to resolv.conf [16:46] steelrat: could you locate the 'asset tag' that says which specific model your PC is? [16:46] I want to burn a dvd audio ... Tried with brasero and k3b without success. Any expert here to debug that with me ? Thanks in advance [16:46] steelrat: it's somewhere on the case [16:46] anyone got a clue [16:46] ? [16:46] ermo: i have inspiron 530 [16:46] fande u could wine a simple freeware windows program [16:46] i do that [16:46] steelrat: not 530s ? [16:46] works perfect [16:47] splnet: sudo apt-get install resolvconf, then add that to /etc/resolvconf/resolvconf.d/head and run sudo resolvconf -u [16:47] * ermo wonders if 's' refers to small [16:47] ermo: nope, just 530 [16:47] jazwec, well, see, that's the thing... I just checked... and it's not [16:47] llutz: ah ok thanks! [16:47] How do I get hibernation to work in Ubuntu 11.10 ? [16:47] why does streaming videos framerate lag [16:47] ?

[16:49] ermo: but why only windows.. it's not fair [16:49] splnet: there are several ways to do that, still you shouldn't edit /etc/resolv.conf (the file) manually [16:49] ya know, this is off topic, but I actually prefer when people use enter as punctuation. Never understood that actually [16:49] rathemoon: Holly hell... Try winff, it's a grpahical frontend for ffmpeg which is easy to configure [16:49] llutz: exactly [16:49] winff rocks [16:49] steelrat: indeed it isn't [16:49] ermo: when i click on the link it redirects me on an empy page.. is it checking for windows or what? [16:49] not sure -- does the same here [16:50] ermo: guess they already deleted the files [16:50] how do i open the thing to config it [16:50] SkiOne: Sure does :) [16:50] maxxx how do i raise it [16:50] Can anyone recommend where to start trouble shouting a none working USB wifi card. it was working until i updated ubuntu, now it does not, lsusb shows the device is there but I'm not sure where to go from there. Thankyou !! [16:50] jazwec, if you go to the /media folder is there a cdrom drive listed there? [16:51] steelrat: That's a bit premature [16:51] gmachine_24 no it isnt.. [16:51] I have a Roland Gaia synthesizer, does anyone know why the device won't show up in audacity? I don't see any errors in dmesg or /var/log/messages and "lsub" shows the device and everything [16:51] llutz: [16:51] ermo: but it happens when no one watch for the things [16:51] synapse, have you tried #audacity ? [16:52] didn't know it existed [16:52] is anyone here has a windows pc?? :) [16:52] ok I found another way of doing what I need, I wish there was an easier way to do this. List any folders that do not have a specified folder in it [16:52] synapse, they're probably more helpful than we are =) [16:52] steelrat, yes, I do [16:52] llutz: /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head : # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN [16:52] steelrat: http://ftp.us.dell.com/bios/530_1018.EXE [16:52] I figured someone might know where to at least look [16:52] steelrat: I haz, why? [16:52] I've been googling the hell out of this [16:53] do I need a driver if it is seen on the USB side in lsusb? [16:53] roland provides win/mac drivers [16:53] synapse, yes you do [16:53] steelrat: instructions here: http://www.downloadplex.com/Drivers/BIOS-System-Updates/Dell/dell-inspiron-desktop-530-bios-1.0.18_183978.html [16:53] so if there were a driver available, I would use modprobe to put it in the kernel? [16:54] i need to press keyboard shortcut twice to bring up the synapse. help [16:54] synapse, haha I can't really help you much with that. If you find the driver, there will likely be compile instructions and whatnot along with it [16:54] and if not, someone more knowlegeable than I could maybe help [16:54] steelrat: I don't suppose you know someone locally who can help you create a bootable FreeDOS usb key? [16:54] ermo: btw, driver link looks like a broken one: http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/04/DriverDetails/DriverFileFormats?DriverId={DriverID} i guess there should be a driverid [16:55] ermo: can i do it with netbootin? === znick is now known as [RuCTFE]znick [16:55] rathemoon, http://tutzone.org/2009/01/increase-firefox-speed-by-10-30x.html [16:56] son compatibles las tarjetas de red netgear con xubuntu?

[17:03] I have an entry in the launcher bar, under unity, for putty. If I have a putty session open then it jumps to that - GREAT - BUT - how do I open another putty session? [17:03] maxxx: why not? in my case it looks like the only option [17:03] steelrat, the motherboard bios? [17:03] compdoc: yep [17:04] compdoc: is there another one? [17:04] steelrat, bios is not something if you mess you can get away with it [17:04] steelrat, sometimes that fixes everything, if youre having a problem [17:04] steelrat, yes, actually, there are several things that can be upgraded [17:05] steelrat, unless you ran out of all option and want to shot down in flames..try it [17:05] steelrat: http://ftp.us.dell.com/bios/530_1018.EXE <- does that link work?

[17:08] steelrat, bios don't even think about it ..stay with it or buy any other one; failure is not a option with it. [17:08] ermo: button on lmgtfy says 'was this so hard?' :) [17:09] maxxx, sometimes it is necessary to update the bios. Thats why they come out with updates, after all [17:09] steelrat: hehe :D [17:09] compdoc, i would rather say people take changes to fix a small problem and end up in disaster. [17:09] maxxx: i have 4 gb of ram, my pc can see only 3,2 Gb. I think it's worth to risk )) especialy when upgrading bios is just start the .exe file [17:10] How do I get hibernation to work in Ubuntu 11.10 ? [17:10] maxxx, disaster is very rare if you read the instructions. [17:11] steelrat, if can compile..thinks and solve you problem; giving the max integer to ram output [17:11] steelrat, are you running a 32 bit OS? that might just be normal [17:11] compdoc: nope, it's 64 [17:12] does the bios update list that as a fix? [17:12] maxxx: i have never compiled the kernel. so point'n'click adventure with bios upgrade seems easily to me [17:12] compdoc: yep http://en.community.dell.com/what-do-i-buy/f/3510/p/18798985/19094206.aspx my case, except the OS [17:13] steelrat, i can admire you determination if you can get through go ahead..

[17:15] maxxx: Uhm ... dell support says otherwise :) [17:15] maxxx, ubuntu 64 bit needs no kernel options to see 4 gigs of ram, does it? [17:16] OerHeks: yeah i thought that's weird too, but i don't know how to solve it =( [17:16] compdoc/maxxx: The issue is that the BIOS has a faulty 'memory map' that can't show 4GB of RAM [17:17] hi [17:17] OerHeks: i'm starting to guess thats my x64 version, but is already up to date [17:17] ermo, yeah, I saw that [17:17] compdoc/maxxx: steelrat is running and ooold bios version (1.0.3) and the memory map issue was fixed in 1.0.12.

[18:30] thanx [18:30] HelloWorld321: You need to reinstall the package and apt-get should work [18:30] HelloWorld321: Maybe try aptitude [18:30] bekks, can you help me with postfix?

[18:32] reinstall which package? libgl1-mesa-glx? [18:32] -_- [18:32] nootilus: because i use linpopup but it's not the same [18:32] bekks, ok, fair enough :) I installed postfix and set it up according to this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix the testing seems ok, but now I don't have a clue in how to send a mail from the machine [18:32] Th^2: try: sudo rfkill unblock all [18:32] soreau: No match for “*isl*” in /lib/firmware/ [18:32] bekks, using terminal only [18:33] vlt: k, then try downloading it and placing it there [18:33] ActionParsnip, hi [18:33] ActionParsnip, no luck :( [18:33] maxxx: howdy [18:33] nootilus: alpine or pine mutt ... no ?

[18:34] ActionParsnip, don't get me wrong my friend [18:35] soreau: Erm, downloading what? [18:35] Maxxx: nice. 2 nightshifts and I got 4 days off :-) [18:35] nootilus: use command mail [18:35] vlt: Didnt you read the link I gave? [18:35] ActionParsnip, mmm its on... this is a desktop setup. it was working fine like 1h ago :( [18:35] soreau: I did. [18:35] bekks, pikaciu the idea is to send mail from a script when some event happens (eg a torrent is finished) [18:35] vlt: And did it not tell you where to get the firmware? [18:36] nootilus: Then use the command "mail" :) [18:36] nootilus: cool --- [18:36] ActionParsnip, you really could help..rather comply to me and wasting time [18:36] th^2: check through dmesg to see what went on then. If nothing jumps out try a reboot [18:36] How to list all the 'Gnome 2.x' applications present in 'applications menu' filtering/skiping/excluding the Gnome default ones, like 'Open Office', 'Firefox' etc?

[18:36] bekks, command mail returns it's not installed and suggest heirloom-mailx or mailutils. Should I install the 2nd one? [18:36] ActionParsnip, hmm.. "[ 4923.661121] ath: Unable to reset hardware; reset status -5 (freq 2417 MHz)" [18:36] Maxxx: i never saw a question [18:37] soreau: Ok, I thought that was about kernel development and everything available on http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/p54 should be included in the kernel already. [18:37] vlt: Well the kernel module cant load the firmware for one reason or another [18:37] ActionParsnip, i always say you and iceroot in ubuntu session [18:38] hello. i want to put ubuntu on my old box, athlon 500MHz, 2GB of ram. should newest ubuntu run fine on this system? [18:38] soreau: this is what I get when I try to reinstall http://pastebin.com/ayEdXFuY [18:38] maxxx: we try :-). Iceroot knows more than me [18:38] vlt: If the card is brand new, you may need a newer kernel than even latest ubuntu provides [18:38] markc: sure. What GPU? [18:39] wtf? "[ 4923.661121] ath: Unable to reset hardware; reset status -5 (freq 2417 MHz)" [18:39] ActionParsnip, keep up the good work good bless you too i could be the ubuntu qualified [18:39] Markc: the 2gb ram is a big help :-) [18:40] HelloWorld321: And like I said, that is a sign of an entirely different issue with your package manager and/or packages, not related to the graphics driver issue [18:40] ActionParsnip: do you know why I can't reinstall the libgl1-mesa-glx package? http://pastebin.com/ayEdXFuY [18:40] th^2: any bugs reported? [18:40] hello [18:40] can someone tell me how we can play asx video files on MPlayer on Ubuntu 11.4? [18:40] HelloWorld321: You should fix that first and I have no idea why its failing in such a way [18:40] soreau: I downloaded an .arm file and put it in in /lib/firmware. [18:40] soreau: how can I figure out what it is? [18:40] soreau: Same problem. [18:40] HelloWorld321: Upgrades are commonly problematic and I always recommend a clean install [18:40] is there a soft like sankore but more light , like a gromit with a little UI ? [18:40] soreau: clean install it is, then [18:41] datz_: tried other players? [18:41] ActionParsnip, what? [18:41] hi, i have installed virtualbox and run it without gui. But when i conf the rdp for remote desktop. don't listen on the port. This is only on a ubuntu server. on a other linux distribution works fine. Some have a clue why? [18:41] soreau: “… can’t load isl3887usb …” [18:41] vlt: You cant just download random files, it has to be the correct firmware for your chipset [18:41] I try everything [18:41] and I think I'll install the next version in 6 months, and then go to an LTS-only policy [18:41] soreau: Well it wasn’t that ransom ;-) [18:41] *random [18:41] th^2: search the bugs online, has anyone got the same issue?? [18:41] I consistantly run into issues while using a live USB where it insists on looking for the CD in the drive instead of the USB stick ... any info on fixing this or a better work around than simply telling it that the cd is not a repository so it downloads everything [18:42] vlt, read the post of the problems and then if have problems..let us know [18:42] bekks, ok I installed mailutils, I don't know if that was the best to do. Now mail says I can't open my mailbox (local one I guess). What should I do to send a mail? [18:42] vlt: If it is a newer chipset, you may need a newer module provided by a newer kernel [18:42] bekks, sorry: mail says it can't open my mailbox because I have no rights on it [18:43] DanS326_home: did you MD5 test the ISO you transfered?

[18:45] no, peppermint [18:45] ? whats that [18:45] peppermint os two [18:46] Lubuntu fork [18:46] vlt: Actually I believe the firmware should be hw dependent and not kernel dependent [18:46] vlt: but I really couldnt tell you. Have you tried different usb ports? [18:46] vlt, linux work better with older hardware.. you check the hcl with new and configure it [18:46] I want to have a clock gadget like the one in macpuppy desktop. [18:46] no idea [18:47] but for my peppermint os [18:47] maxxx: What is “hcl”? [18:47] use the clock in the panel? [18:47] or is it too hard to see [18:47] well what program would you use for ububtu [18:47] ubuntu [18:47] Does anybody know when Firefox 8 will be released through the official Ubuntu repositories?

I like the clock in it [18:49] Gentoo64, I would be suprised if it is not possible.... this is a very handy feature... especially for large monitors. === IdleOne is now known as pangolin [18:49] worrow: whatever :P [18:49] also whats the best docker? [18:49] worrow, damn why do you want it to look like mac [18:49] when its linux [18:49] I don't like the taskbar look. I was thinking AWN [18:49] looks tacky as hell [18:49] docky is a mac like dock [18:50] I don't want it to look like mac [18:50] looks exactly the same in fact [18:50] hmm ok [18:50] worrow: there is no single best dock [18:50] mac doesn't have a gadget clock on desktop [18:50] Gentoo64, don't troll in ubuntu session thanks [18:50] besides the dock which I would not have look anythin like mac [18:50] random stupid question: As long as I'm not trying to compile or backtrace something, I do not need the -dbg packages and can uninstall them to gain some space, right? [18:50] soreau: Maybe not too unimportant: “Once you have downloaded the firmware (usually the filename of the firmware downloaded from the sites will result with .arm) You need to rename the file to isl3886pci as per required filename from the site. You then place the file "isl3886pci" into /lib/firmware and then reload the p54pci driver.” ;-) [18:50] ActionParsnip, have you used AWN [18:50] docky is nice looking [18:50] worrow: its as intelligent as asking: what is the best colour [18:51] worrow: I've used a tonne of docks dude [18:51] but if you have windows covering the clock on the desktop, then you cant see the clock, and youd have to look at the panel clock anyway [18:51] blue [18:51] Well there are only like 3 or 4 dock apps. Most are unstable. So my question still stands [18:51] vlt: Yes, very important [18:51] pikaciu, i agree blue is the best colour [18:51] :P [18:51] vlt: But in your case, its not pci its usb [18:51] If I'm doing a clean install via ssh without any video driver, but both my CD drive and my USB stick are on the fritz, is it okay to mount the install cd iso and run it through ssh? [18:51] telling me it was a stupid question really doesn't help anyone. Never a bad question [18:52] vlt: So rename the file you placed in /lib/firmware to the file name its looking for as per dmesg [18:52] is it a stupid question for your child to ask how to tie their shoes? [18:52] only a bad answer [18:52] what do the *-dbg packages do in ubuntu? [18:52] Is fslint a good app to find duplicates? [18:53] kaddi, are you joking with us [18:53] debug [18:53] Worrow: no dock is outright best or nobody would use the others are inferior. This is not the case. Each are great, they just excell in different ways [18:53] soreau: Works. Thanks. [18:53] why? [18:53] StepNjump, i've always like it for that purpouse [18:53] vlt: What works? [18:53] soreau: I got a wlan0 device. [18:53] vlt: Nice! :) [18:54] vlt: sudo iwlist wlan0 scan|grep -i ssid [18:54] soreau: Already did that ;-) [18:54] maxxx: nope, I want to know if I can safely remove the installed -dbg packages on my system, without risking to break anything [18:54] vlt, its only till you reset [18:54] ActionParsnip: have you been on since early this morning? [18:54] vlt: Sweet, glad I could help [18:55] maxxx: What is only until I reset? [18:55] vlt: it was the firmware ? [18:55] Office3: nightshift dude. Slept from 9am Gmt to 4pm [18:55] wow good job [18:55] pikaciu: Yes, I downloaded from http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/p54, renamed and put it in to /lib/firmware. [18:55] maxxx: should auto-load the module when he plugs it in [18:56] vlt: good [18:56] Morning all.. does Chromium have a built in PDF viewer? I've been reading Chrome does but my only option in Chromium is to download the pdf then view it. [18:56] I am running ubuntu 11.10 64 bit on a MacBook Pro in a Parallels 7 VM. Does anyone have ideas/suggestions as to troubleshooting no sound in the VM? [18:56] #screen [18:56] zykotick9 : thanks. I started to run it about 1 hour ago and it's still searching. It only has 30 GB of files. Do you think it's normal? [18:56] Scunizi, Chrome has, Chromium not (afaik) [18:56] vlt: You could still file a bug report and post the solution so others can benefit from your findings [18:56] so the boot repair tool ran and said it successfully finished and told me to reboot .. I still get error: out of disk grub rescue> [18:56] Scunizi, no [18:57] What is the tool called to create a wireless connection (as in to choose an AP and enter a password if needed)? [18:57] Scunizi, Chrome = Chromium + pdf-viewer + flash + ... [18:57] rumpel: Gentoo64 so I don't see Chrome in the repos.. do I have to add google's repos for chrome or is there a ppa? [18:57] vlt: And hopefully, they can fix it in ubuntu (but maybe its not included due to legal reasons) [18:57] soreau: I will do that. Which pkg is affected? [18:57] Scunizi, not sure.. [18:57] network tools [18:57] Scunizi, you might need to add ppa [18:57] Anyone know why lucid would use massive amounts of CPU for everything? Even GDM routinely hits 20%.. CPU utilization is at 100%, load above 2.0 anytime ANYTHING is actively running. Even moving the mouse causes issues. [18:57] vlt: Create a connection with gnomes nm-applet or do it manually with hostapd [18:57] mouse cursor wrap around in 10.10..... solution? anyone?? [18:57] is it relly worth it just for pdf viewer? [18:57] Gentoo64: I'll look.. it's sooooo frustrating not being able to open a pdf right in the brower [18:57] Scunizi, install their deb, it will add the ppa [18:58] vlt, when ever you re-start for the principles and learn to automate the script.. [18:58] rumpel: ah .. cool. thanks [18:58] vlt: nm-applet is the wireless icon in your panel. Click on it and create new ap [18:58] canthus13: graphic card driver issue maybe? [18:59] spacebug-: I've tried every video driver.. heck, even sleep 10 is pegging the CPU. [18:59] nvidia? [18:59] vlt: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs [18:59] Gentoo64: yup. [18:59] could be that [18:59] Gentoo64: worked fine witn 9.10 [18:59] Does anybody know when Firefox 8 will be released through the official Ubuntu repositories? [18:59] nvidia has had so many issues with the prop driver causing cpu issues with a load of programs [19:00] jbuncher, never [19:00] Gentoo64: Weird that it's so spotty, though. [19:00] maxxx: I didn’t understand your last post. [19:00] Gentoo64, why? [19:00] Gentoo64: I've got 3 other machines with nvidia GPUs that work without a hitch. [19:00] it might not be the nvidia driver [19:00] canthus13, what does 'htop' show?? any particular program running high? [19:00] * canthus13 has the sneaking suspician that if he installed Crunchbang and then manually installed the nvidia drivers, it would be fine. [19:01] cryptodira: every program uses abnormally high CPU. [19:01] canthus13, it may not be the driver [19:01] but it has caused issues [19:01] Gentoo64: canthus13 I"ve found my old nvidia card and the prop driver to work well on kubuntu but sluggish on unity 11.10.. Maverick was great [19:01] cryptodira: It's a 2ghz P4... But still, GDM shouldn't be routinely hitting 20%. [19:01] yeah but unity is different [19:01] vlt, my Friend, this far you should really understand how Linux works and learn scripting ..will be helpful to you in our world [19:02] update manager runs up to 100% constantly... load bounces between 2 and 3... [19:02] It's weird. === Wicet|2 is now known as Wicet [19:02] canthus13, with NOTHING running but the base OS... is cpu still high? [19:02] cryptodira: Not so much.. but load is. [19:02] canthus13, that [19:03] the ubuntu font sucks [19:03] hello [19:03] konam: screenshot? [19:03] cryptodira: Well, not that high. but 15-20%.. which is stupid for an idling system. [19:03] and i don't mean fonts on ubuntu, i mean the ubuntu font [19:03] konam, why is that so tell us you problem with it before you comment so [19:03] konam: dont use it then :s [19:03] Gentoo64 thanks for offering the help :) but i meant the ubuntu font [19:03] * canthus13 has a 1ghz PIII running Lucid that has no issues. :/ [19:03] konam: don't use it then. Simple [19:03] weird stuff. [19:04] I'm using a french langaged ubuntu with pleasure, but is there a way to stick to english for rapidsvn specifically ? [19:04] Gentoo64, why do you say FF8 is never coming to the official repos? [19:04] * canthus13 is currently (slowly) installing the latest kernel update in hopes that it'll help... [19:04] ActionParsnip yeah, i went back to sans, it's weird, i had ubuntu 10.10 on just a few days ago before trying out 11.10 and 11.04 and i don't remember changing the default font... [19:04] jbuncher: because stuff takes ages [19:04] konam: there's a load of stuff I'm sure other users hate and change but nobody cares and its offtopic here [19:05] got it [19:06] I am running ubuntu 11.10 64 bit on a MacBook Pro in a Parallels 7 VM. Does anyone have ideas/suggestions as to troubleshooting no sound in the VM? [19:06] canthus13, back in the day, i had similar issues with intel chips on os/2.... having moved to amd, i have not seen this sort of problem.... i would look very carefully at ALL the htop output... you may have a 'hung' process. [19:07] cryptodira: Nah.. I've been watching htop constantly.. (htop is consistently using 10%... go figure. :/) [19:07] mikeg3, you simply can work around it why to irc; you have all the setting..help you self [19:07] maxxx: Sorry, I simply don’t understand what you’re trying to tell me.

[19:08] Gentoo64, then you don't mean never, you just mean a while, and I'd appreciate it if you actually had information to back up what you say instead of just being a general dick about things. I don't care about your opinion of how long it takes, I want to know the answer. [19:08] vlt: What are you trying to do now? [19:08] jbuncher: what version are you on now? [19:08] mikeg3: on the ubuntu sound troubleshooting procedure there is a command to download and run alsa-info.sh run it and upload to the server. It will make a useful URL [19:08] Hmm.. kernel update finished. now to launch runescape (which ran fine in 9.10) and see if it grinds to a halt again. [19:08] soreau: nm-applet doesn’t find *any* devices. Even no wired eth0. [19:08] vlt, if you re-set, you will have to work again to the script minimize the effort of working again..so learn..that all we do. when the problem is solved [19:09] vlt: Try starting network-manager with sudo service network-manager restart [19:09] hi is anyone here that can explaind me how blockbuster works? [19:09] maxxx: parsing error [19:09] Gentoo64, version 7 on 11.10. On 11.04 they upgraded through 4 to 5 to 6 to 7, so I'm anticipating something similar on 11.10, though I can't find any evidence of it. [19:09] vlt, i am not teaching to scripting here..no way it up to you [19:09] vlt: and then restart nm-applet [19:09] Ew. icedtea. :/ [19:10] thanx ActionParsnip [19:10] is there a command i could use on ubuntu to know if my processor is 64bit capable?

I'm not 100% sure. I think on some versions they didn't update FF though. But FF8 isnt anything special over 7 [19:10] its basically the same [19:10] maxxx: What are you talking about? [19:11] konam: cat /proc/cpuinfo [19:11] vlt, i really don't wan't to give the command to shutdown you [19:11] konam: That'll give you a lot of CPU info, and sometimes will tell you if it's 64 bit directly. [19:11] soreau: Didn’t help. [19:11] vlt: Is NetworkManager running? [19:12] canthus13 i think this says it all "address sizes : 32 bits physical, 32 bits virtual" thanks [19:12] darko: is there a credential for adding the printer [19:13] canthus13 i have one of the first core duos so i was dubious. [19:13] konam: Look it up on Wikipedia.. it'll tell you for sure. [19:13] all the core2duos are 64 bit [19:13] Gentoo64, they didn't update Maverick and Lucid, since those shipped with 3.6.x, so that still gets security updates. I was just wondering as it's been a little while, and I remember the Natty FF updates coming more quickly. [19:14] jbuncher: just add the mozilla ppa if its bothering you [19:14] i have no idea if or when its coming out [19:14] yes there are a user and a password [19:14] i wrote it but id doesnt work [19:14] Gentoo64, negative [19:15] jbuncher: but I didnt notice anything different from ff7 to 8 [19:15] Gentoo64: Then read the changelog ;) [19:15] i did [19:15] nothing amazing in there [19:15] Darko: what make and model printer?

[19:58] seawookie, what are you really trying to do with alfa wireless.. [19:58] JLuc, you could try and export an LC variable before running rapidsvn [19:58] Shaxs: There must be a - before av, and the backup at the end must be omitted [19:58] right now just trying to connect to the internet [19:58] jasonmchristos, it should automount as long as (a) the device is not listed in fstab (b) the user is a member of plugdev [19:58] the pc im using has no built in card [19:58] soreau: I rebooted.

Perhaps you did not reload the module and it was reloaded when you re-plugged it in (and the modules you installed are faulty) [20:12] seawookie, see that what i am trying to solve here.. [20:12] but ubuntu ... i dont know ... [20:12] jasonmchristos, does it give any error? [20:12] escott, its the gui so no [20:13] maxxx, soreau, it was working after the patch but stopped working later [20:13] seawookie, rtl8187 simply works fine with ubuntu and with other distros you simply have to try the basic commands [20:13] jasonmchristos, and the drive is not mounted when you are double clicking [20:13] escott, usually theres a little circular mount icon with a line and an arrow it simply does not show and does nothing when clicked [20:13] escott, no it is not [20:13] seawookie: Just because you applied and installed a patched driver doe not mean you reloaded it. The old driver could have still been loaded in memory [20:14] seawookie, patch was not required only if you would now the grep command [20:14] jasonmchristos, you could try running nautilus from a command line and see if you get an error message [20:14] escott, does the user need sudo ? [20:14] Can anyone take a look at my phpinfo here and tell me why I'd still be getting fatal error: call to undefined function curl_init() even though the phpinfo shows it as installed? http://www.expertessays4u.com/phpinfo.php [20:14] I need help getting ZorinOS to use my Broadcom wireless card [20:14] I am truly stumped. [20:14] jasonmchristos, no thats what plugdev is for. pmount should handle the mounting [20:15] janie: What is ZorinOS? [20:15] escott, running from cli natilis it asks for root password to mount [20:15] soreau, you are probably right, would i have to redo the patching process? [20:15] seawookie: Do you have a wlan0 interface in iwconfig? [20:15] escott, so i guess plugdev group is useless in this case ? [20:15] guys, I know its stupid but I am lost here.. ;) trying to figure this out.. I ran sudo apt-get install plexmediaserver and everything succeded.. how do I start hte server? or does it not have a gui? [20:15] seawookie, remove the patch..of rtl8187 [20:15] maxxx, how? [20:15] soreau, yes [20:15] jasonmchristos, its now asking you for a root password? [20:15] What can I do when I don’t see the icon of a running nm-applet? [20:16] how did you install through the apt-get or else where [20:16] escott, yes when clicking from cli launched nauilis [20:16] seawookie: Does 'sudo iwlist wlan0 scan|grep -i ssid' show ap's? [20:16] anyone? haha if someone missed my question! [20:16] !blacklist seawookie [20:17] escott, same thing from nautilis launched from the desktop [20:17] soreau, yes [20:17] seawookie: Then it's working. What's the problem? [20:17] seawookie, can you blacklist the drivers [20:17] escott, you say that plugdev is supposed to give mount priv to all users in the group even if they do not have sudo ? [20:17] maxxx: He doesn't need to blacklist anything [20:17] jasonmchristos, what kind of filesystem is this drive you are trying to mount [20:17] escott, ext2 [20:17] When I start nm-applet the icon of my keyboard layout selector moves one pixel to the left, when I kill the nm-applet process it moves one pixel to the right again. [20:18] soreau, it says that wireless is disabled when i try to connect...idk its strange [20:18] soreau: ^ this is on 10.04 now. [20:18] seawookie: What tells you that? [20:18] escott, it would be mount -t ext2 /dev/sdb2 from a cli [20:18] maxxx, if i do that will the non patched drivers still work? [20:18] sorry i was dragged more deep...: [20:18] here it goes again, can someone please help me out ;) simple question [20:18] jasonmchristos, so ext2 is different from fat in that the permissions on ext2 matter, whereas for fat there are no permissions. so you may be having problems in that you are trying to mount an fs which has files owned by user (a) under user (b) [20:18] soreau, the network manager in the tool bar [20:19] jessie1, type plex[TAB] to figure out the executable name [20:19] jessie1: I can try to help. What's your question? [20:19] seawookie: Try restarting network manager and nm-applet with 'killall nm-applet && sudo service network-manager restart && nm-applet' [20:19] seawookie, you really don't require to patch rtl8187 drivers as they are legacy only you should know how to keep them stable..during the session. [20:19] escott: In terminal? I tried that nothing happens [20:20] escott, well in that case it should mount and just be unreadable not ask for root pw to mount but i will double check and mont from root and chown, brb [20:20] soreau, ok thank you i will try that command, im sry i have to go but thanks [20:20] maxxx, sorry i have to go thanks for the help [20:21] np try all the command you will fine in all distros [20:21] directory structure in ubuntu's got me going crazy [20:23] escott: did you mean in terminal? [20:23] escott, ok i did a chown on it let me reboot [20:23] how do I make a usb that can install both Ubuntu 64 and lubuntu 32? [20:23] https sites are not loading in ubuntu any help? [20:23] jessie1, yes. check packages.ubuntu.com or dpkg -L plexmedia... to figure out what the files for that server are [20:23] using 11.10 [20:23] Does anyone know how to enable ecryptfs _after_ the OS has been installed? [20:24] Or would I need two separate usb sticks? [20:24] Rallias, don't know how recent this is http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/08/07/create-an-encrypted-private-directory-with-ecryptfs/ [20:25] office3: [20:25] unetbootin [20:25] escott yeah, I saw that, but that covers a ~/Private folder rather than the ~ folder... [20:25] office3: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [20:26] devish: Are you sure? Give an example [20:26] escott: alright nothing shows up in packages.ubuntu , but dpkg says its located in /usr/lib/plexmediaserver/ [20:27] htpc@Htpc:~$ start plexmediaserver start: Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.72" (uid=1000 pid=6119 comm="start plexmediaserver ") interface="com.ubuntu.Upstart0_6.Job" member="Start" error name="(unset)" requested_reply="0" destination="com.ubuntu.Upstart" (uid=0 pid=1 comm="/sbin/init") [20:27] usr13: example? [20:27] Rallias, is still roughly how the system works. you have a ~/.Private which gets loop mounted back onto ~. it might be easier to just create a new user and then migrate over [20:28] usr13: i cant load facebook, gmail, any mail or secure connection however others are loading fine [20:28] escott, the user is not authorized to mount media even bieng in plugdev [20:28] escott, i chowned the whole deal [20:28] devish: an example _________________ [20:28] escott, I guess plugdev group is useless [20:29] usr13: i gave ...least i tried [20:29] escott, looks like i am just going to have the make the user superuser ? [20:30] jasonmchristos, plugdev should work. something is off in your setup. if you want to paste the screenshot of the error, and the output of groups and the output of mount that would help [20:30] jasonmchristos, and fstab as well [20:30] devish: https://mail.google.com/mail/ [20:30] ? [20:31] devish: Does that one ^^^^ load for you? [20:31] Does the ubuntu livecd for 11.10 still have troubles mounting like flash drives? [20:31] jasonmchristos, sometimes the cd vendor of a different kind can have a problem at-times ; my cd-rom only mount sony cd [20:31] sign on pazge comes and loadds for verver [20:33] escott, like ive said there is no error it just asks for root password [20:33] jasonmchristos: There is no root password on Ubuntu. [20:33] IMA LI KOGA? [20:33] devish: cat /etc/resolv.conf #See if proper nameserver is listed. [20:33] escott, for that reason there is no output of mount [20:33] usr13: the "not able to load webpage" [20:34] bekks, i enabled root the whole point was i didnt want my regular user to be super user, its a bad idea to connect to irc from super user anyway [20:34] jasonmchristos, mount will always output all the currently mounted devices. [20:34] usr13: i see a thread but not able to look at it [20:34] maxxx, this has nothing to do with cd's [20:34] escott, ok well it isnt mounted thats the whole point [20:34] usr13: yes as torrent and evry other thing is working [20:35] jasonmchristos, oh!! i was far behind the current session..simply getting over it..:)) [20:35] usr13: does https uses any other nameserver? [20:35] anyone ever had issues changing their login screen in 11.10? [20:35] hi all, can someone help me with a compiler error? [20:36] yeah bro......which version of gcc........ [20:36] escott, problem solved user must be superuser [20:36] escott, thats what i was trying to avoid [20:36] devish: Or see if you are able to ping the first nameserver listed in /etc/resolv.conf Or better still: nmap -p53 name-server-ip #The first one on the list, (if there are more than one). [20:36] escott, apparently plugdev doesnt [20:36] work on 10.0.3 lts [20:37] devish: NO, https does not use different nameservers, just want to eleminate other problems. [20:37] jasonmchristos, you shouldnt need that. and plugdev should work. but unless you give us some more information we cant really help you. if you want to go it alone feel free to look into the manpage for udisks [20:37] escott, I wouldnt have minded mounting from root but when i did so the files even when chowned would not read [20:37] pyDude: Don't know, it's ubuntu 10.10 [20:37] jasonmchristos, your question is random can you simply elaborate what are you really looking for [20:37] escott, what exactly do you want [20:37] devish: Are you using a proxy server? [20:37] usr13: let me try [20:38] maxxx, its not random what are you a robot , its very detailed wither a you cannot read or b you are a troll [20:38] jasonmchristos, your fstab, the output of groups, and the output of mount [20:38] ive detailed every info there is about the problem [20:38] usr13: nope [20:38] escott, ive already typed that info in here in detail [20:39] I've got a problem: I'm using a two monitor setup, and when I put an app in fullscreen on one monitor (say, Firefox with F11), and switch focus to some app on the other monitor, the top bar (with clock, off switch, etc) appears on the former and partly obscures the full screen app. Can I prevent this? [20:39] devish: No, what ? [20:39] fstab does not list the drive the plugdev group is enabled on my regular user and mount does not show it mounted, simply because IT IS NOT MOUNTED [20:39] jasonmchristos, no need to get upset.. to ask again should not be a problem .. [20:39] jasonmchristos, the whole point of pasting things is that a lot of times people don't know what they are looking for, and don't know when something is wrong. if you think you know what you are doing see "man udisks" [20:39] why won't my login screen change to what I tell it to in /etc/lightdm/unity-greeter.conf ? [20:40] escott, i know all of these three because i clicked desktop user in the users menue and viewed plugdev properties and my regular user was listed [20:40] has anyone else experienced weirdness in the 12.04 installer for all custom partitioning failing? [20:40] obviously if my problem is i cannot mount the mount output isnt going to show it mounted [20:40] if i cant read /dev/sdb2 in nano /etc/fstab i am an idiot [20:41] usr13: hosst is up i am inside lan [20:41] escott, never the less thank you for your help [20:41] usr13: whicch is connected to internet [20:41] jasonmchristos, so you are a administrator.. let me know that [20:41] escott, you did help me find the cause and give me a lead to something to study the plugdev group [20:41] escott, thanks again have a good day [20:42] devish: Some networks vary in this respect but usually, that first nameserver listed in /etc/resolv.conf (and sometimes the only one), will be your gateway router, (gateway routers usually have a caching nameserver running on-board). [20:42] How do I restart the GNOME panels? [20:42] usr13: I see this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=353605 but not joined in to the community so can/t see it [20:42] JokesOnYou77, what version of gnome? === ziga555 is now known as mobilni2 [20:42] Hay alll [20:43] why won't my login screen change to what I tell it to in /etc/lightdm/unity-greeter.conf ??? anyone? === marc is now known as Guest96791 [20:43] devish: mail.google.com #where does that take you? [20:43] escott: whatever is standard with 10.04 [20:44] JokesOnYou77, for just the panel "killall gnome-panel && nohup gnome-panel [20:45] usr13: yes but that can't be a concern gere as i can load https in other os but not here however i would say that earler i had different connection and ther was no problem [20:45] is there a different channel that new guys can go for help? [20:45] n00berG00ber: this is it :-) [20:45] oic [20:45] JokesOnYou77, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3199082/how-to-restart-gdm-in-ubuntu-without-being-logged-out [20:45] devish: See my pm. [20:46] escott: thank you! [20:46] usr13: i take me to sign on page but when i try to login the page doesn't load [20:46] just so everyone knows you shouldnt be logged into irc from a superuser account [20:47] devish: What nameserver are you using? [20:47] okay once again: (third times a charm) why won't my login screen change to what I point it to in /etc/lightdm/unity-greeter.conf? [20:47] jasonmchhristos what can you do to me ..even i am logged as root [20:48] n00berG00ber, have you restarted the lightdm process [20:48] Hey. [20:48] devish: And what error does it give you? (When the login page doesn't load?) [20:48] multiple times....my login screen is now just black [20:48] usr13: i am behind a router so it is 192.168.0.1 for me [20:48] anyone know an easy way to get ubuntu to detect my display? [20:48] I've got a problem: I'm using a two monitor setup, and when I put an app in fullscreen on one monitor (say, Firefox with F11), and switch focus to some app on the other monitor, the top bar (with clock, off switch, etc) appears on the former and partly obscures the full screen app. How can I prevent this? [20:48] hello. I want (autoinstallation) to install kubuntu-desktop with apt-get -y -o after the ubuntu-desktop has been installed. But it always tries to ask the gdm/kdm choose question. I also tried debconf-set-selections with ("kdm shared/default-x-display-manager select gdm" and the same for gdm. Any ideas? [20:49] devish: So the first nameserver listed in /etc/resolv.conf is 192.168.0.1 ? Is that correct? [20:49] escott, multiple times....my login screen is now just black [20:49] I would like to install a windows software on a ubuntu server to distribute it to severall domain-clients - it's an single-user account software, which should be used from more than one pc [20:49] its not able to fetch data [20:49] i thougt about installing it into a VirtualMachine an connecting to it from the client [20:49] is there a better way? [20:49] n00berG00ber, sounds like it doesn't like something in that file [20:50] usr13: its not able to fetch data [20:50] jasonmchristos you might be the moderator in ubuntu .. take care of trolling [20:50] devish: nmap -p53 192.168.0.1 #What does that tell you? [20:50] usr13: no data received in chrome [20:50] escott, so the default if there is something wrong is to display a black bachground then? [20:51] usr13: 53/tcp open [20:51] devish: Ok very good. [20:51] n00berG00ber, i dont know but that sounds like a feasible behavior [20:51] usr13: does ubuntu open different ports for https [20:51] why nmap is reveled in the session [20:52] escott, essentially, at least from my understanding, is the syntax is "background=path_to_picture/picture.jpg" [20:52] usr13: so might be when some data is being taken on other port then router does n't get it or viceversa [20:53] n00berG00ber, and what is the picture you want to use? [20:53] escott, I've tried several [20:53] n00berG00ber, but what is the path [20:53] hi , i use ubuntu 11.10 , is possible to change the color of text on the folders? thanks [20:54] escott, /home/username/Pictures/wallpaper [20:54] n00berG00ber, do you have an encrypted home directory [20:54] hey can someone tell me how to disable the login keyring popup on auto login? [20:54] devish: Try Firefox [20:54] escott, yup....and now that you have said it, it would make sense that it doesn't work. [20:54] n00berG00ber, and even that shouldn't matter in either case the lightdm process won't be able to read that file [20:54] devish: firefox mail.google.com [20:55] from black to blue for example [20:55] I have an external Hard drive in /media/maxtor. I was doing something and all of a sudden, I got an error message from Samba but it is frozen. I can't press cancel or OK. Even when I try to umount /media/maxtor it tells me that it can't find the device. What should I do to safely remove the extHDD? [20:55] escott, even if it were unencrypted? [20:55] usr13: tried for facebook it says server was reset afetr login page [20:55] or reset the samba message? [20:55] escott, permission issues then? [20:55] n00berG00ber, you could adjust the permissions to make it work with an unencrypted [20:56] escott, where,outside, of home would it be considered kosher to store picture files? [20:56] devish: clear your cache and cookies [20:56] usr13: sure [20:56] n00berG00ber, /usr/local or /opt [20:57] n00berG00ber, you could encrypt a usb stick and pt them on there [20:57] escott, thanks [20:57] Folks please could anyone tell why Ubuntu 11.10 changed the alt+tab behaviour? If this shortcut shows applications in all workspaces what is the meaning of having workspaces? [20:57] Gentoo64, o.0 ? [20:57] deactivating ipv6 did not help :( [20:57] <^jt> Graphical Port Forwarder, does anyone know of one? I'm trying to redirect 8080 to 80, iptables isn't working for me and I'm looking for a more userfriendly way to do it. [20:57] my wifi still disconnects [20:58] !ufw | ^jt [20:58] ^jt: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE Lucid and Maverick) also exist. [20:58] !ccsm [20:58] huoxito: use compiz setting manager and configure it how you want [20:58] To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' (or 'simple-ccsm' for pre-Oneiric). If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz [20:58] usr13: https keeps on loading for long time i think browser tries to load [20:58] n00berG00ber, i thought you meant a safe place to store them sorry [20:58] Gentoo64, no prob. [20:58] usr13: but does n't happen any thing and finally a error [20:59] thanks xangua, I tried that once but Im afraid of using cssm on my desktop, last time I used di did a real mess [20:59] This will sound dumb, but can Ubuntu get spyware? [20:59] JasonGriffee, no [20:59] JasonGriffee, with windows you get viruses and that because you download stuff from wherever [20:59] JasonGriffee, depends [21:00] on what? [21:00] JasonGriffee: browser extensions, facebook scams etc [21:00] <^jt> Hmm, would you recommend guarddog or gufw? (from a usability viewpoint) [21:00] if you have installed something that contains spyware capabilities then yes [21:01] xangua, I just wonder how could some possibly think that this alt+tab behaviour is nice [21:01] I have a problem... everytime I boot the OS I get a popup called login keyring... can this be disabled? [21:01] if you manually install everything from source from websites theres still hardly any chance youll get malicious stuff [21:01] one could even argue that the amount of data-mining that Google is doing would make them almost spyware-ish [21:01] what about just browsing the web? [21:01] hello, how can I get the old panel back? I dont like the new icons and stuff added to 11.10 I want to get the old panel back, is it possible? [21:01] ever used Chrome?

[21:02] not really [21:02] danes: if you mean gnome2, is no longer maintained [21:02] !nounity | danes [21:02] danes: 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 [21:02] better question: ever opted out of their "statistical analysis" [21:02] whats with all the google paranoia [21:02] usr13: can anything be done? [21:02] <^jt> i don't really mind google spying on me if they keep chrome being so awesome :D [21:02] Gentoo64, is he just messing with me? [21:03] JasonGriffee, bottom line you are safer from spyware on linux, but it isn't only because linux is more secure etc. but because of market shares [21:03] i dont think he means to [21:03] n00berG00ber, no its not [21:03] hi! i am trying to watch an embedded quicktime video in chromium. unfortunately the picture is just black. so far i've tried mplayer, totem installing medibuntu, opening the url in vlc (didn't work because of passwort protection) [21:03] you download a windows program... from where?

Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [21:04] Gentoo64, agreed, but market share has a big factor into it. The bad guys aren't going to waste time programming something that will reach 2% of users when windows and mac hold far greater share [21:04] Michi74390: did you try to install chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra ¿ [21:05] n00berG00ber, no its not that at all [21:05] Michi74390, make sure the ubuntu-restricted-extras package is installed [21:05] n00berG00ber, what about servers: the real targets.. most of them are linux or bsd [21:05] xangua: is it in the standard-reps?

I know this isn't a ubuntu or even linux question, but I really need help. My pc keeps randomly rebooting ( not just in OS, even in BIOS ). At first I thought it was to do with powersupply so I got a new one, (and for a while like a day it was working, but then it started happening again), my cpu/gpu temps are fine. Not sure what else to look at. I've not installed any new drivers or software recently...so I think its a hardw [21:11] samosaphile: then do not [21:11] i'm using the totem plugin at the moment [21:11] is it possible to switch back and forth between unity and gnome3 and have all data on both sides?

I have two monitors (2x 1920*1080) but under "System Settings"->"apperance" i can only change both wallpapers together. Is there a better way for dual-wallpapers? [21:12] Michi74390: restart chromium¿ [21:12] i did that [21:12] how do I disable login keyring? [21:12] i-SiS, it would be easiest to use something like imagemagick or the gimp to create a background file for the two monitors [21:12] Michi74390: the totem plugin is only for mozilla i believe, is called totem-mozilla :P === Spyros is now known as o0o0 [21:13] Michi74390: well i just don't have idea then, i don't use chromium/chrome [21:13] JasonGriffee: I have no problem [21:13] nope, it's also for chromium, i've been using it for other formats fro over a year ;) [21:13] well it doesn't work in firefox either :( === o0o0 is now known as Spyros [21:14] Thanks xangua. [21:14] is there no one on here able to offer me a solution to my problem/ [21:14] ? [21:14] escott: The wallpaper is not that problem-> "apperace" change the wallpaper for both monitors (but on every monitor appers the same picture), so its not possible for me to add a "longer" pic.

[21:17] Doodie: you can't upgrade 10.04 to 11.10, you would neet to upgrade 10.10 first, then 11.04, then 11.10 ;) [21:18] xangua, yes sir, i know that, but that simple process does nothing here. [21:18] Hi all. How can I find about php/apache, please? [21:18] Doodie: If I were you and not in an urgent need of a life-or-death feature anywhere, I'd just hold on to 10.04 and wait until April for the new LTS [21:18] does anyone else have any idea why i can't watch these movs in my browser? it's quite important :( [21:19] Doodie: LTS are configured to upgrade only to the next LTS by default, you need to chage it to upgrade to normal releases on Software Sources [21:19] Michi74390: do you have any browser plugins installed, IIRC mplayer and vlc both have ones [21:19] Myrtti, I am upgrading because i heard that 11.10 would support ati radeon graphics. 10.04 gives me errors === david is now known as Guest13059 === o0o0 is now known as Spyros [21:19] i have the totem plugin and vlc plugin installed. vlc plugin is disabled [21:19] Doodie: fair enough [21:20] before i had the mplayer plugin but that didn't work either [21:20] Guest96290, google [21:20] Doodie: you have to update to 10.10, then 11.04, and then 11.10 === o0o0 is now known as Spyros [21:21] or reinstall [21:21] xangua, i quite could not get that. could you please make it more clear? [21:21] can someone recommend a third party programm that can change wallpapers for Dual-Screens? [21:21] Doodie: go to Software Center - Edit - Sources [21:22] i-SiS, nitrogen [21:22] :D [21:23] i-SiS: diferent walpapers on diferent screens¿ compiz can do that if you are willing to sacrifice not having icons on the desktop [21:23] xangua, got it. now it shows 10.10. :) [21:23] Spyros: thx, i will try [21:23] salam [21:23] also there doesn't seem any way to download those videos [21:23] i-SiS: anyways i believe unity doesn't have icons on the desktop already :P am i wrong¿ [21:23] i-SiS, so nautilus usually draws the root window. you can try and use gconf to get the settings for nautilus the way you want it, or you can disable nautilus drawing the root, and use some other tool to set the background [21:23] i hate kernel bugs...

[21:29] ^jt, so what makes you think non-root can redirect ports? [21:29] ok [21:29] you need to create a new chain that redirects and logs [21:30] <^jt> I know they cant, but that isn't an issue :) it's a development VM so security isn't a huge concern. I just want to be able to run apache without sudo [21:30] silence... [21:30] oh [21:30] poppler-utils seems to offer the reverse of this [21:30] this will let you see if your rule is being hit [21:30] ^jt, make yourself a setuid apache restart script then [21:31] fail [21:31] thats not silence.... oh... thats "SILENCE I KILL U!!!" ... ;-) [21:31] why do you just change the port in the apache config? [21:31] Odaym, ahhh.. the perhaps imagemagick could convert each image to pdf and then you could bind them togeteher with poppler [21:31] <^jt> i could, but i've gone through the effort of compiling amp from scratch into the home dir so that everything can be run as the user [21:32] ^jt tcpconnect might help you [21:33] struggling to see the issue here. [21:33] <^jt> well to bind apache to 80 id have to sudo apachectl [21:34] ah I see [21:34] what happens if you switch off selinux? [21:34] <^jt> :( just feels nice having amp self contained in the user folder and being able to run everything without sudo [21:34] <^jt> "what's that?"

[21:35] try [21:36] then switch off selinux and try agin, this way you isolate the issue [21:36] guidov, you disk ok? [21:37] yes disk is ok, 0 bad blocks, but it wouldn't make sense anyway because it works fine at one house and at another it doesn't [21:37] <^jt> Hmm, I'm a noob but totally disabling SELinux sounds heavy-handed? === Spyros is now known as o0o0 [21:37] guidov disable wireless === o0o0 is now known as Spyros [21:38] mdr, can i disable wireless from the boot screen?

[22:47] LABcrab: if the task is a rescue operation, there are probably better Linuxen for that than *buntu live CDs ^^ [22:47] haw [22:48] hi all, is there any hard drive recovery tool you can recommend? unfortunately, i cant access to my ntfs external drive [22:48] szal: It has to be a small CD. i can't download a lot. [22:48] i am not able to get the alternative tab extension working for some reason [22:48] madoo: the guide I gave tells you, just scroll down to the Linux section [22:48] kalamajo: on the right side under your name [22:48] : I'm working from Windows XP, Google Chrome. Inmediately I get a confirmation dialog box for download. [22:48] cant see it in the gnome tweak tool [22:48] thanks all.. got to go now [22:48] its not there [22:48] hi, I have set up a upnp server using mediatomb, what upnp client can I use to connect to it? [22:48] okey [22:49] guntbert its not there [22:49] rowla: same with chromium here [22:49] LABcrab: Hmm, I have some bad news for you. [22:49] DrPoO: vlc is one option [22:49] ah [22:49] LABcrab: I'd recommend grml, which is a full-size CD of almost 700 MB [22:49] rowla: What are those? [22:49] I have looked online to get the gnome shell extension and cant get it working [22:50] DrPoO: http://nwlinux.com/stream-videos-from-mediatomb-to-vlc-using-ubuntu/ [22:50] canb someone offer some help? [22:50] kalamajo: indeed, I forgot to ask you what flavor you are using [22:50] Why does it let me Try Ubuntu sometimes but not other times? [22:50] ubuntu 11.1 [22:50] LABcrab: Versions of Ubuntu since 10.10 are very unstable. [22:50] kalamajo: there is no 11.1 [22:50] heh [22:50] rowla: Why!? [22:51] guntbert: 11.10 [22:51] How do I not install grub when I install ubuntu I don't want it taking over the booting of my first hard drive (windows). [22:51] rowla: I'm on Precise here and its solid [22:51] LABcrab: That's out of my reach because I'm not a developer. [22:51] rowla: which desktops have you tried? [22:51] CluelessWin7usr: why not? [22:51] CluelessWin7usr: in that case, just disconnect the Windows HDD during installation [22:52] guntbert: Under My Name > switch user account, my name, online accounts, user accounts [22:52] kalamajo: yes, but: the standard one with the launcher on the left side or the one with the panel at the top? [22:52] How do i mount hard drives using just the terminal? [22:52] LABcrab: that all depends [22:52] LABcrab: yuo don't mount drives, you mount the partitions [22:52] LABcrab: sudo mount [22:52] !mount | LABcrab [22:52] LABcrab: 'mount' doesn't say they're already mounted? [22:52] LABcrab: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [22:52] ActionParsnip: How is that dones? [22:52] i faced the same problems mate, i installed in the hard drive, because, it won't work on trial and on wubi btw [22:52] guntbert: launcher on the left side [22:52] ActionParsnip: Where did you get that send me the link and I'll try it. [22:53] How do I use Launchpad and Bazaar to help a project? [22:53] LABcrab: it kept freezing [22:53] rowla: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ Its the next LTS [22:53] How do i find out what to mount? [22:53] CluelessWin7usr: grub can boot windows, windows boot loader can not boot linux, so you kinda need to let grub take over [22:53] rowla: its not officially stable, but if you want to try it, fill your boots. [22:53] How do you permanently add a new display resolution in Ubuntu 11.10 (this does not work anymore: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-change-display-resolution-settings-using-xrandr.html) [22:54] LABcrab: since i managed to install it in the HD it keeps running smoothly [22:54] LABcrab: sudo fdisk -l will list available partitions [22:54] kalamajo: ok, on the ricgt side (beside your name) are "gears", click there [22:54] Can grub stay on the 2nd hard drive and I start the 2nd hard drive threw my laptops F12 boot menu? [22:54] ActionParsnip: Oh Thanks! I hope it's gonna work. [22:54] nuno: Yeah, too bad the computer won't boot from USB. [22:54] I don't want Ubuntu touching ANYTHING on my Windows hard drive. [22:54] guntbert: yeah.. but the system menu isn't there [22:54] rowla: which desktops have you tried in your installs since Maverick? [22:54] LABcrab: go to your BIOS and change the boot order [22:55] LABcrab: push your USB HDD to the top of the list [22:56] Why not press F12 during boot and pick USB? [22:56] i dunno, i installed it that way, the only way that really worked [22:57] LABcrab: what is it you want to mount and why [22:57] guntbert: sudo apt-get install gnome-menus [22:57] hi all [22:57] guntbert: i thought that would work [22:57] manco: hi [22:58] CluelessWin7usr: that works too, but means you need to do it a bunch of times instead of once [22:58] ActionParsnip: I tried 10.10, 11.04 and 11.10. They don't work pretty well for me. [22:58] LABcrab: have you formatted your USB and the partition where you'll install ubuntu correctly? or you just have tried out Wubi? [22:58] reisio: Already done, thanks. Editing Windows files. [22:58] kalamajo: I thought is is there by default, just wanted to show you how it looks [22:58] nuno: It's a P4 MB. [22:58] aaaaaahhhhh [22:58] hi reisio, im needing a small help.. on sharing an internet connection through wifi on ubuntu 11.10 [22:59] ciaooo [22:59] manco: do you have a wireless router? [22:59] guntbert: i thought so too [22:59] LABcrab: That's all i can help because, i'm still a noob @ Ubuntu and what i know i learned myself [23:00] guntbert: and I cannot right click the panel? [23:00] guntbert: hrmmmp [23:00] LABcrab: i hope i've helped you, ggod luck, and btw Ubuntu rules, you won't regret it [23:00] reisio: nope, im connected though a wireless 3g modem, and trying to share that connection through my wirelless card [23:00] manco: most wireless cards probably aren't setup for that [23:01] kalamajo: yeah the panel is only for notifications nowadays... [23:01] manco: did you mean you want to run a network _cable_ from one computer to the other? Because that you can do [23:01] manco: also with a USB cable, if necessary [23:02] i dont undearstand [23:02] rowla: no, which desktops? Gnome, KDE, XFCE? [23:02] rowla: not the release [23:02] manco: you want 2 laptops hooked to each other via wifi, right? like:... [23:02] how does it come that ubuntu have such bad system setting options? As videos have shown it was much more to change in previous versions and in Linux Mint as well. Is there anyway to get that back/get as linux mint, and do anyone of u know the reason why (just curious)? :) thank you [23:03] rowla: I bet you just used Gnome didn't you... [23:03] ActionParsnip: Gnome. [23:03] rowla: any others? [23:03] manco: Internet -- phone --usb--laptopA --wifi-- laptopB [23:03] yes, i need it to be via wifi like this: internet --> [modem 3G] ubuntu [wifi card] --> windows XP [23:03] CarlFK, [23:03] ActionParsnip: No. [23:03] reisio [23:03] rowla: thought maybe it was Gnome at fault, not the release [23:03] rowla: I've used KDE and LXDE and had zero issues [23:03] kalamajo: it *should* look like http://imagebin.org/184820 [23:03] rowla: maybe you could try them [23:04] ActionParsnip: It's possible. [23:04] CarlFK, yes, that would be it.. i mean, i do have a 3g modem, and i tried the connection with another device (phone) just to check the connection was active, and it is [23:04] guntbert: oh ok [23:04] rowla: you can't badmouth a whole release credibly without exploring it a lot, like trying differnt desktops as just a basic thing to try [23:04] manco: so you are making A's wifi card into an AP, which is tricky, depends on your card. (I think.. wait.. maybe AdHoc...) [23:05] rowla: you may just have issues running gnome, which is not the whole release, it's just one desktop environment [23:05] What should I look for if I want to change the *button* theme in oneiric (Unity)? I've only found themes that seem to change icons or windows so far.. [23:05] hi guys. need help. when running virt-manager on fluxbox, it runs ok. however, when I run remotely via ssh forwarding, it spits out an error saying no dbus session. any hints? [23:05] latest kernel breaks virtualbox https://gist.github.com/c3757346855a766b9cc6 [23:05] *ssh X forwarding [23:05] ActionParsnip: I should try other desktops. [23:05] CarlFK, i do have a injection capable wifi card.. it should work if i can set it up correctly.. :P [23:06] rowla: You find a lot of people who dropped back to Natty because of unity haven't even thought of trying a different desktop and keeping the newer libs and such which make stuff work nice [23:07] How do you save the chntpw registry edits? [23:07] manco: I did it a few years ago, but would have to google up how... sorry, that's about all I have [23:07] is there a diference between adhoc and ap CarlFK ? [23:07] manco: I do have whats needed to share it with wired eathernet, which you could plug into an AP ... do you have a wireless router ? [23:08] latest kernel of 10.04 LTS doesn't have kernel support for virtualbox http://i.imgur.com/l6Eko.png [23:08] ah.. yes, but i only have 1 straigh though cable here.. :S CarlFK [23:08] manco: I know there are 2 terms: AP and AdHoc - guessing they mean different tings :) [23:09] here is err output https://gist.github.com/0b629285f66f8572ab50 [23:09] ActionParsnip: I prefer 9.10 or 10.04 [23:09] Which is the most trusted ppa to install sun-java6 or 7 in 11.10? Thanks [23:10] lol, yeah it should be.. :D, thanks anyway CarlFK [23:11] manco: if you power up the wifi AP, can the win box connect to it? (I don't see why not, but need to check) [23:12] hi guys. how bout this one. any ideas: "Unable to create /home/jvliwanag/.dbus/session-bus" [23:12] CarlFK, i dont really know how to do that.. and just in case, xp is just next to me [23:14] manco: plug in the AP. xp should say "i see wifi" .. but this is a win thing that is pretty OT here. and makes me grumpy. [23:14] I want to have chromium load into the preload cache like it does on my other machine, bu it does not on this one. How can I do this? [23:14] lol, ok, ill try [23:15] manco: sorry, CarlFK sort you out? [23:15] how does it come that ubuntu have such bad system setting options? As videos have shown it was much more to change in previous versions and in Linux Mint as well. Is there anyway to get that back/get as linux mint, and do anyone of u know the reason why (just curious)? :) thank you [23:16] it doesn't seems to work.. im looking on how to set up the wifi card as an AP [23:16] whatup [23:16] tompa: gnome2 vs. gnome3 [23:16] gnome3 [23:16] tompa: that's the main reason. [23:16] tompa: most of those were gnome decisions [23:17] what is the difference between "eject" en "safely remove drive"? Eject is unmount I think, but the other? [23:17] oh... wierd decision :/ [23:17] if i want to change stuff as i could in gnome 2 how do i do then? [23:17] do i have to get gnome 2 or can i install some "addon" ? [23:18] anyone have any suggestions as to why items i have in etc/init.d/* aren't starting with ubuntu bootup? [23:18] spacebug-: "safely..." powers it down too [23:18] Johndoooe: because the system is using upstart? [23:19] is that default in 11.10? upstart? [23:19] guntbert: ah ok. tnx [23:20] hi! I need some help [23:20] Is there any UCK alternative to ubuntu server ISO files? [23:21] hello, anyone knows if there is an audio app to compare and play music with similar beats? [23:21] or a music player [23:21] I am running ubuntu 10.10. Do you think I will successfully update to 11.10? I've never managed to successfully update from one Ubuntu version to another - always something crashes [23:22] nu1: Matlab? [23:22] nu1: Try VLC. [23:22] s5s: I'll recommend you to make a fresh install, never upgrade. [23:23] hello, how do i fix, this "Err http://extras.ubuntu.com oneiric Release" [23:23] Hello [23:23] I'm new [23:24] Myrtti: any more guidance?

Also software libraries that I need for development etc. ... [23:25] nu1: last.fm [23:25] can anyone help me figure out why items in /etc/init.d don't start at boot? [23:25] Johndoooe: they won't unless you tell them to [23:25] risio, but I want an application to play the songs in my pc [23:25] Johndoooe: update-rc.d scriptNameHere defaults [23:26] yeah ive done that [23:26] hi ActionParsnip i had to walk away last night cos the gpg error were still occurring even though i did the fixes... [23:26] hi [23:26] I can copy a dvd via dd if='/dev/sr0' of='foo.iso' correct ? [23:26] indicates successful reisio..but the items do not start [23:26] nu1: I don't know, look into things that mention 'scrobbler' or 'scrobbling' or last.fm support [23:26] however if i start them manually with /etc/init.d/itemname start [23:26] I install Ubuntu Server 11.04 today , but I dont't have GUI [23:26] it works fine [23:26] nu1: what do you want the app to tell you? How would you quantify how similar (or different) two beats are? [23:26] MaryF\cknPop\ns: yes, but there are frequently better ways [23:26] MaryF\cknPop\ns: is it a data DVD? [23:27] reisio: I dont know. [23:27] no it' [23:27] Johndoooe: server --status-all will tell you the status, after boot [23:27] no it's a movie. [23:27] s5s: Use FL Studio. For Windows. If you want more information, ask me. [23:27] Johndoooe: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBootupHowto [23:27] reisio: I want to test my foo.iso how Do I play it. all the players epic fail. [23:27] MaryF\cknPop\ns: you want a 1:1 copy of the DVD, or do you just want a copy of the feature? [23:28] 1:1 copy shal suffice. [23:28] MaryF\cknPop\ns: mplayer -dvd-device path/to/foo.iso dvd:// [23:28] reisio: that failed. [23:28] nu1: The easiest way for you is to inspect the spectrum by hand. However, bear in mind that what you're trying to do is pretty much Digital Signal Processing which involves a lot of maths and best way is to use Octave/Matlab. I do this regularly (not with music) but music is an audio signal [23:28] or dd failed. [23:29] reisio: i get errors - 19-Nov-2011 15:28:33.9599: P2449.7f206aeea740@computername rserpoolsocket.c:354 doRegistration() 19-Nov-2011 15:28:33.9601: Error: (Re-)Registration failed: no registrar available === samlii is now known as samlii__ [23:29] MaryF\cknPop\ns: did either give an error?

[23:29] dd didnt' give an error [23:29] Johndoooe: for what script? [23:29] rowla: I think you meant nu1 [23:29] stercor: all by itself? [23:29] mpalyer said, libdvdread: Can't open file VIDEO_TS.IFO. [23:29] I am wondering if there has been a fix for this issue yet [23:30] MaryF\cknPop\ns: did you ever install the DVD playback "restricted" stuff? [23:30] I install Ubuntu Server 11.04 today , but I dont't have GUI [23:30] i am trying to get alternate-tab- extension working [23:30] s5s: Oh! That! Sorry. [23:30] RidDrib: ...and you want one? [23:30] reisio: that was server --status-all [23:30] and it keeps crashing [23:30] reisio: It's a handy tool that I'd like to use outside of the terminal profile. [23:30] nu1: Use FL Studio. For Windows. If you want more information, ask me. [23:30] Johndoooe: does it output anything else? [23:30] Yes please [23:30] stercor: ah [23:30] reisio: how do I do that? Got a link ? [23:30] stercor: short of examining the source, I'd ask #xfce [23:30] zus: can you run: sudo apt-get update; lsb_release -a and pastebin the output please [23:30] reisio: just poolhandle, runtime limit, etc. [23:31] reisio: Thanks. [23:31] zus: makes things more coherent [23:31] anyone here have the alternate tabe extension working? [23:31] :p [23:31] MaryF\cknPop\ns: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs [23:31] tab* [23:31] MaryF\cknPop\ns: if that doesn't make it work, your dd image probably failed, would want to use another method, of which there are many [23:31] ActionParsnip, one sec [23:32] reisio: but your one liner failed on /dev/dvd too [23:32] and I know the dvd is fine. I just watched it. [23:32] MaryF\cknPop\ns: k, then you probably haven't yet gotten DVD/restricted stuff setup [23:32] I'll try k3b [23:32] LOAD -e zeus.pl [23:32] MaryF\cknPop\ns: just read that link I gave [23:32] gnome-shell-extensions-alternate-tab anyone have this extension working? [23:32] yeah I have libdvdcss2 [23:32] MaryF\cknPop\ns: if you want a 1:1 backup, 'dvdbackup' is pretty good, but dd is fine, too, often (sometimes you'd have to use ddrescue) [23:33] MaryF\cknPop\ns: how is a DVD/CD burning software going to help watch a DVD? [23:33] MaryF\cknPop\ns: what I frequently do is mplayer dvd:// -dumpstream -dumpfile foo.vob, just to get the feature (the longest track) [23:33] ActionParsnip: no to make the iso. [23:33] MaryF\cknPop\ns: and then sometimes I'll transcode that into a better/more modern format [23:33] I would take that as a no :p [23:33] reisio: you can use dd to make a 1:1 copy [23:33] wrong target [23:33] I'm trying to get a wnda3100v2 Netgear wifi dongle to work on ubuntu 11.10, I installed the drivers that should work with it. Under "Wireless Network Drivers" it says the hardware is present after i installed the driver, (but the screen did freeze up and I had to do it twice), Shouldnt the wifi icon show up in the top right now? [23:33] MaryF\cknPop\ns: you have to run some command even if you have it, check the link I gave [23:33] rowla, is FL Studio available for ubuntu? or something similar? [23:33] oh [23:33] ok thanks [23:33] MaryF\cknPop\ns: dd may work, or k9copy which is dead but still in the repos [23:34] nu1: lmms [23:34] gnome-shell-extensions-alternate-tab anyone have this extension working? [23:34] didn't know Ubuntu was even redistributing extensions for GNOME 3 yet [23:34] reisio, does it have a GUI? [23:35] How can install GUI in ubuntu server [23:35] ? [23:35] nu1: yes :D [23:35] ok im just going to try to change drivers [23:35] RidDrib: install ubuntu-desktop [23:35] how do i make something like "ls *.xml | grep "ola" > save file name here [23:35] nu1: I'm not exactly sure how you'd make an fl studio clone without a GUI [23:35] reisio ubuntu is redistributing extensions? [23:35] ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/BTXgw7BD [23:35] AndyUbuntu: I was saying I hadn't heard that they were yet [23:35] RidDrib: if you wanted a desktop OS, why didn't you just install the desktop OS? [23:36] reisio oh right ok [23:36] Thank You [23:36] RidDrib: you understand that the GUI doesn't really help you administer the server software, right? It will mostly only be useful for what you'd use a desktop for [23:36] I'will back later [23:36] exit [23:36] reisio that particular extension just does not work and cant find a fix [23:36] RidDrib: why didn't you install the desktop. You have gained nothing doing it the way you have [23:36] RidDrib: seconding ubuntu-desktop. Also, I'd recommend setting up something like VNC (secured, of course) for remote GUI access if it's necessary. [23:36] how do i copy a file to a the place im in if i find the word ola "ls *.xml | grep ola | save the file here :S [23:36] all the other extentions work flawlessly [23:36] RidDrib: do you want a machine that works as both a server and a desktop, or a GUI frontend for managing the server? [23:37] (not quite like RDP in the M$ world, but serviceable) [23:37] BrixSat: cp $(ls *.xml | grep ola) path/to/elsewhere/ [23:38] zus: http://pastebin.com/dtJbgchg [23:38] Hi! I'm using gnome-shell on 11.10. My problem is: While my window-manager uses white as background, the menubar and other gtk3 items on my programs are black. Thats horrible. How can the window-manager or gtk theme background? thanks [23:38] reisio: can i do someting like "ls *.xml | grep "ola" > save here the file name [23:38] thanks for all the assistance :) [23:38] zus: you forgot to add the keys for the ppa [23:38] reisio: BrixSat why are you listing the xml files? just cp *.xml /path/to/folder [23:38] # Appears as ANNA. [23:39] BrixSat: what's wrong with what I gave you? [23:39] always a great place to get support :s [23:39] ActionParsnip, for the kxstudio? no i have already did them, and also with that gpg error command.... [23:39] bastidrazor: that is just an example in grep i call someting more complex to convert the content of the files using an app that makes echo to console [23:39] BrixSat: cp *ola*.xml /path/to/folder [23:40] zus: do the commands import new keys, they will say 'unchanged' if not [23:40] BrixSat: should probably talk to #bash [23:41] no :( im not making my print bastidrazor reisio i have this "ls res/layout/*.xml | java -jar AXMLPrinter2.jar" that outputs to console but i would like to know if i can get in a second or in this case a third pipe the name used in the first pipe [23:41] ActionParsnip, whats the command for that? ive done sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 16126D3A3E5C1192 for my keys already [23:41] zus: run each command one after the other, it should import [23:42] hey I am trying to compile libflashsupport-jack but it seems it needs videodev.h which is not part of the kernel headers on maverick [23:42] zus: the keys arent essential, just stops the OS moaning about unauthorised packages [23:42] BrixSat: VAR=`some command`; or VAR=$(some command), I think [23:42] BrixSat: then you can re-use "$VAR" as you like [23:42] !find videodev.h [23:42] File videodev.h found in libv4l-dev, linux-doc [23:42] :) Thanks [23:42] staykov: install libv4l-dev [23:42] excellent thank you [23:42] ActionParsnip, this is i have done that command for all the missing keys, and still they error [23:43] zus: the virtualbox gives a command to import it's key [23:43] ActionParsnip, i already been to #kxstudio and been thruogh it with them as well, [23:44] and why is the ubuntu extras giving an error? [23:44] zus: there is no GPG key to authorise the packages, they can still be installed just fine [23:45] so there is no fix, just deal with the missing gpg keys [23:46] Hi is ther someone who can help me figure out how to get the 1366x768 resolution to be seen on my machine?

[23:47] <|Long|> ActionParsnip, thanks alot [23:47] Im reading around for another "interface" such as gnome 2,3 kde, xfce but when i see videos about it Im starting to not understand the differnce between a OS distro and desktop enviroments, so what is the difference? :S [23:47] Well, gotta go. [23:47] Thanks, and have anice day/night. [23:47] tompa: a desktop environment is the sum of all the utilities you use in a graphical system [23:48] ActionParsnip: when I install nvidia my machinw does not boot up? [23:48] tompa: many desktop environments are assembled and redistributed by single entities, including GNOME, KDE, Xfce, etc. [23:48] tompa: an operating system is the basic system required to get things done, technically not requiring a GUI [23:48] tompa: a distro is a specific distribution (or redistributed set of packages or install media) of an operating system, with or without a desktop environment [23:48] ActionParsnip:can you look at my lspci and tell me what I need to do? [23:48] when is the next *buntu release gonna be? [23:48] tompa: more at http://en.wikipedia.org/ === Esquire is now known as Esquire24 [23:49] lubuntu1986: 11.10, for example, means Oct. 2011 [23:49] reisio: can you? [23:49] lubuntu1986: 12.04 (march next year) [23:49] they've deviated little from the 04 and 11 release schedule [23:49] ironfoot495: can I... what? [23:50] zus: when you added the getdeb, did you use their .deb file to add it? [23:50] lubuntu1986: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS [23:50] reisio: so in Ubuntu 11.10 : The OS is Unix, the distro is Ubuntu 11.10 with the pre installed desktop enviroment gnome 3 + unity? right? [23:50] hmm i dont remember, how ever i typically and have before done it in the commandline [23:50] lubuntu1986: 12.04 is the next version. have a guess [23:51] tompa: the OS is linux :) [23:51] tompa: YOu can use what ever desktop you want. [23:51] can you tell me if there is a way to look at my lspci and fix my problem? [23:51] Actionparsnip oh :) what is unix then? :P [23:51] tompa: ... but, by default, it comes with unity [23:52] usr13 if i change to xfce, what is left of ubuntu 11.10 then? [23:52] tompa: yes that's right [23:52] GNU/Linux [23:52] anyone that can give me the default content of the file /etc/dbus-1/system.d/Upstart.conf in 11.10? [23:52] tompa: though some people will give you face for calling it Unix [23:52] tompa: its what linux is based on, the web will tell you more than I can [23:52] I've tried very hard to find something that work by google but not as of yet. Really need some help. [23:52] or tell me how to regenerate it? /etc/dbus-1/system.d/Upstart.conf [23:53] tompa: Unix is a computer operating system originally developed in 1969 by a group of AT&T employees at Bell Labs [23:53] tompa: at which point you should roll your eyes and say "fine Linux if you like" [23:53] ironfoot495: install the nvidia-current package, if you used the hardware drivers app then disable the driver you installed [23:53] tompa: see you've upset usr13 by calling it Unix :p [23:53] I can boot up on a smaller 17" lcd screen but not on my 37" [23:53] Johndoooe: http://pastebin.com/ffF3f7JN [23:53] it is Unix, of course, but as I said people frequently freak out if you call it that and not Linux [23:54] i think somw how its the error on ubuntu extras mucking things up.... [23:54] tompa: See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux & http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix [23:54] thx spacebug [23:54] when I use that I can't boot up? [23:54] reisio: haha, Im sorry, but as i said. what is left of ubuntu 11.10 if i change desktop enviroment? [23:54] hi [23:55] ironfoot495: once you get the nvidia-current installed we can then attach the bigger screen in a dual monitor setup, then when that kicks in we can disconnect the smaller one if you wish [23:55] reisio: They don't freak out, they just correct you. [23:55] tompa: if you change DE, then thats al that changes. Its still oneiric but your desktop will look different [23:55] ok I'll follow your instruction [23:55] tompa: The basic difference in the various Linux Distributions is the package management systems. [23:56] installing wo [23:56] its not get debsan typically my problem with get deb is thier servers are always down [23:56] zus: you could disable the repo in software centre to test [23:57] tompa: Ubuntu (rightfully so) claims to have the most user-friendly package management system. [23:57] ActionParsnip, brb, doesnt hurt to try. [23:57] usr13 okey then i get it. Ubuntu is using apt? [23:57] ciao [23:57] yes [23:58] actionparsnip: I have to restart [23:58] apt with front-ends: Synaptic Package Manager and the Software Centre. [23:58] ok [23:58] is there a list containing all updates sorted by time in www (for natty?)? I just found this for security updates. [23:58] okey, thank you for helping me understand all the confusion :) [23:59] NP [23:59] and im gonna read some about unix vs linux ;) [23:59] or use apt-fast for badass apt-getting?
