| ubottu | Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) was the twelfth release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1004 - Supported until April 2013 (Desktop), April 2015 (Server) | 00:00 |
| jrib | caution: the release number tells you when it was released. 10.04 means the 4th month (april) of 2010 | 00:01 |
| Richiie | but it seems to me, that it doesnt work properly as expected, anyone knows what the causes might be? | 00:01 |
| jrib | theborger: I just list multiple "Port number" lines in my sshd config | 00:02 |
| theborger | jrib, yea i found a readme on it, i thought you could do port number,number | 00:03 |
| theborger | that does not work | 00:03 |
| milamber | Richiie: can you provide details? which part of which step isn't working? | 00:03 |
| theborger | next questions, how do i forwward X over multiple ssh connections? | 00:04 |
| Richiie | milamber: well, im able to run the lines in my /etc/rc.local but if i check the log files i can see some errors do you want me to send them in pastebin ? | 00:04 |
| milamber | Richiie: yes, let's start there | 00:04 |
| theborger | ssh -X -C -p port uname@address ? how do i add another ssh server to that | 00:04 |

| Rassilon | Hi all,can someone tell me how I can go back to ubuntu v10 desktop after installing ubuntu v11 | 00:08 |
| bazhang | Rassilon, full reinstall | 00:08 |
| zykotick9 | !downgrade | Rassilon | 00:08 |
| ubottu | Rassilon: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported and may break your system. | 00:08 |
| milamber | !notunity | Rassilon | 00:08 |
| ubottu | Rassilon: 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 | 00:08 |

| tolland | hi all | 00:11 |
| zykotick9 | caution, you obviously didn't look at the link from !eol | 00:12 |
| Yacobh | Hi everybody | 00:12 |
| tolland | my ubuntu 11.10 laptop with xfce is spinning the fan continuously, not sure when this started, it might be due to mank building up on the fans or some lower settings for starting the fan for temperatures | 00:12 |
| caution | zykotick9: I don't want to upgrade or get new releases, just the old ones | 00:12 |
| bazhang | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades <------ caution | 00:12 |
| bazhang | caution, then no | 00:12 |
| tolland | are there any tools that I should look at so see what the fan settings and system temps are ? | 00:12 |
| === michael is now known as Guest13983 | ||
| alien2050 | tolland: check your bios, it should have a temp monitor builtin, but I've noticed also when the gfx driver isn't installed properly it sometimes does this (ati and nvidia) | 00:14 |
| zykotick9 | !info lm-sensors | tolland | 00:14 |
| ubottu | tolland: lm-sensors (source: lm-sensors): utilities to read temperature/voltage/fan sensors. In component universe, is extra. Version 1:3.3.0-4ubuntu1 (oneiric), package size 98 kB, installed size 476 kB | 00:14 |

| caution | thanks | 00:16 |
| szymon_g | hi | 00:16 |
| alien2050 | lm-sensors also a good tool, but since you said you don't know since when it started... it might get more complicated than just getting a package... try and see when the fans start doing this | 00:17 |

| StepNjump | ok zykotick9 and bazhang here is the situation: I did a ls -l and found out that I was drwxr-xr-x on that dir. I didn't like the fact that others could execute so I wanted to change the permissions for ~/Documents and all below folders so I ran this dangerous puppy here: sudo find . -type f -exec chmod -R 644 {} \; not realizing that I forgot to perform this from the Documents dir. Ooops... And yes, to make it worse, I prefixed it with sudo! So what at | 00:28 |
| StepNjump | this point do you guys suggest? Should I try to create a user profile and scrap my current one? What a mess!!!!!! | 00:28 |

| Yacobh | :( | 00:31 |
| StepNjump | Yacobh, don't listen to me, I know JUST enough to get in me in trouble! | 00:31 |
| jrib | StepNjump: well all you did was remove executable bit from files in your home. The only thigs that you would have that are executable are likely some small scripts you use | 00:31 |
| StepNjump | Oh yes that happened to me once.... | 00:32 |
| geoffmcc | Yacobh: first thing that comes to mind to me would be to go to sound then hardware and make sure soundcard is selected | 00:32 |
| StepNjump | jrib should I give a 776 to everything again from ~/ and down ? | 00:32 |
| html | bazhang, yes | 00:33 |
| jrib | StepNjump: nope, I would just leave it as it is | 00:33 |
| StepNjump | Is there a chance I might not be able to reboot? | 00:33 |
| bazhang | html, yes to what | 00:33 |
| jrib | StepNjump: as long as you really did run it in your user's home, no there is no chance that you would not be able to reboot | 00:33 |
| jrib | StepNjump: I guess worst case scenario is you can't login :) | 00:34 |
| StepNjump | ok great jrib.. yes I did.. fortunately it wasn't /. I guess I could look at a different profile for the permissions and change everything one .dir by .dir | 00:34 |
| Yacobh | ok geoffmcc let me see it | 00:35 |
| jrib | StepNjump: you only modified files | 00:35 |
| Zirg | hey folks. at this time grub2 is NOT displaying any options on boot-up and i want it to. what do i change and where??? | 00:35 |
| StepNjump | right... but I guess I could always use the TTY to get it fixed right? | 00:35 |
| ewp | ayo fellas! i have screen lock off but my comp still locks screen when idle | 00:35 |
| jrib | StepNjump: and files aren't executable in your home generally, unless you install software there or keep scripts in there (but in this case you should know about them and can just make them executable again) | 00:35 |
| geoffmcc | Yacobh: when your there, in the hardware tab at the bottom is a profile drop down. try different profiles. when you change it, hit the test button to see if they work | 00:36 |
| StepNjump | ok jrib.. The one I know is in there and is executable is dropbox. Where would you install the executables next time? (dropbox installs by default in the home). /dev/bin? | 00:37 |
| Yacobh | all right! | 00:37 |
| alien2050 | ewp: I confirm, same situation here, even tried disabling screensaver daemon.... r u using 11.10 ? | 00:37 |

| ewp | alien2050: yes | 00:39 |
| Zirg | Jordan_U, right now, the /etc/default/grub file has GRUB_TIMEOUT=30 and it's not displaying anything. | 00:39 |
| StepNjump | ok tnx a lot jrib | 00:39 |
| StepNjump | for your help | 00:40 |
| alien2050 | it's puzzling... probably a conf file somewhere | 00:40 |
| zykotick9 | Zirg, do you also see something about HIDDEN in /etc/default/grub? | 00:40 |
| Zirg | zykotick9, yes. GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=30 and GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true. comment those out? | 00:41 |
| jrib | StepNjump: no problem | 00:41 |
| ewp | alien2050: i'm searching gconf-editor for any clues | 00:41 |
| zykotick9 | Zirg, would be a good start - then "sudo update-grub" then reboot to test | 00:41 |
| alien2050 | I even removed xscreensaver completely... so there has to be something else | 00:42 |
| alien2050 | maybe builtin with lightdm or gshell | 00:42 |

| zykotick9 | Guest2919, from personal experience, i've always had to reboot after adding DVD support for it to work (i'm sure there is another way, but i don't know it) | 00:48 |
| CarlFK | alien2050: that creates local.dconf | 00:48 |
| geoffmcc | Guest2919: i beleive its ubuntu-restricted-extras package, have you installed that | 00:48 |
| Guest2919 | zykotick9: i have rebooted several times. | 00:48 |
| zykotick9 | geoffmcc, incorrect - no DVD support in restricted-extras | 00:48 |

| Guest2919 | geoffmcc: yes i have | 00:49 |
| zykotick9 | Guest2919, after install libdvdread4 did you run the required script? (libdvdcss2 if installed, should mean you did) | 00:49 |
| Yacobh | geoffmcc: nothing happen | 00:49 |
| Yacobh | i try whit all of them | 00:49 |
| jrib | Guest2919: you should also eject the dvd and re-insert it after installing dvdcss | 00:50 |
| Guest2919 | zykotick9: i dont know about running a script. which one? yes libdvdcss2 is installed fine. | 00:50 |
| Yacobh | i tried with all of them | 00:50 |

| zykotick9 | Guest2919, FYI that libdvdread4 is just installing libdvdcss2 from medibuntu (without adding the repo) | 00:53 |
| KPoh9 | any suggestions? | 00:54 |
| zykotick9 | KPoh9, when you say downloaded it - do you mean with apt-get/U.S.C or manually? | 00:54 |
| Guest2919 | zykotick9, tried it but i need internet fir that will have to go to another office to do so. | 00:54 |
| KPoh9 | no apt-get just installing it by downloading, unzipping and then doing make, make install | 00:54 |
| zykotick9 | KPoh9, not a very good idea. | 00:55 |
| zykotick9 | !lamp | KPoh9 | 00:55 |
| ubottu | KPoh9: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 00:55 |
| KPoh9 | lol, I'm new to ubuntu | 00:55 |
| zykotick9 | KPoh9, try to just use packages from Ubuntu's repository (install using apt-get or U.S.C) at least to begin with. | 00:56 |
| Yacobh | but Thank you geoffmcc for your interesting | 00:57 |
| zykotick9 | KPoh9, that manual install you did of apache could now cause problems/issue however | 00:57 |
| zykotick9 | !checkinstall | KPoh9 for future reference - | 00:58 |
| ubottu | KPoh9 for future reference -: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 00:58 |

| === whereswaldo is now known as gloomer | ||

| bl4ckcomb | what vendor do you have? | 01:34 |
| DemoOn | ati radeon 6850 | 01:34 |
| bl4ckcomb | dunno, but if the live usb boots fine, it should also work for the installation. afaik ubuntu uses a generic graphics driver =/ | 01:35 |
| JasonGriffee | how to i install a program from a .run file? | 01:36 |
| bl4ckcomb | let me see if I can find out how to make the violet screen verbose | 01:36 |
| DemoOn | ok | 01:36 |
| bl4ckcomb | DemoOn, try hitting alt+f1 while booting | 01:37 |
| DemoOn | bl4ckcomb: what will it do? | 01:37 |
| zykotick9 | JasonGriffee, in a terminal, cd to the directory with the foo.run file, then "sudo ./foo.run" | 01:37 |
| bl4ckcomb | it should show you everything that's loading at boottime | 01:37 |
| bl4ckcomb | so you can check where it shows errors or halts | 01:38 |
| zykotick9 | JasonGriffee, you might also have to "chmod +x foo.run" before the "sudo ./foo.run" | 01:38 |
| DemoOn | bl4ckcomb: i hit that when i had vilet screen for a while and then it sowed only black screen | 01:38 |
| dsirijus | do you guys understand how annoying is to work on a 2x6cm trackpad and malfunctioning trackpoint? if kids get murdered, it's you to blame | 01:38 |
| bl4ckcomb | I suppose the violet screen. the black screen is probably still grub | 01:38 |
| DemoOn | bl4ckcomb: and what should i do if there will be error with graphics driver? | 01:38 |
| zykotick9 | !nomodeset | DemoOn this MIGHT be worth a try | 01:39 |
| ubottu | DemoOn this MIGHT be worth a try: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 01:39 |

| zykotick9 | BlackWeb, "compress a dvd" to what? a video file? what format do you want? | 01:43 |
| seekwill | zykotick9: So server is just a minimal install? | 01:43 |
| zykotick9 | seekwill, "basically" | 01:43 |
| LaPingvino | sda6 == (hd0,5)? | 01:43 |
| BlackWeb | What Program Shrinks it | 01:43 |
| Mitochondria | http://dvdshrink.sourceforge.net/ | 01:43 |
| BlackWeb | I've tried DVD95 and it Shrinks it but wont work after its done 4.4 GB instead of 7.6GB | 01:43 |
| geoffmcc | thenkill: looks like the gui is a seperate download and it runs java tested on both win and linux | 01:44 |
| bl4ckcomb | it's what you need for a server. since a gui is not relevant for a server, it doesn't have one. also it includes options to pre-install popular services like apache, sshd, mysql, .... | 01:44 |
| BlackWeb | Right now i have DVD on Hard Drive in ISO Format and in Audio_TS & Video_TS Folders | 01:44 |
| BlackWeb | Want to shrink ISO Format or Folder Copies to 4.4GB | 01:44 |
| seekwill | zykotick9: My goal is to install a very minimal desktop, running something like fluxbox VM and a few gtk-based apps under. Don't need the full kde/gnome suite. Any recommendations on approach? | 01:45 |
| DeviceZer0 | !java | 01:45 |
| ubottu | To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 01:45 |
| pragmaticenigma | seekwill: I would suggest Xfce with Xubuntu | 01:45 |
| BlackWeb | Heard of vamps & dvdauthor, but not sure how to utilize them to shrink it down | 01:45 |
| zykotick9 | seekwill, what you want is certainly possible. But I'm not going to recommend ANYTHING about a server with a GUI. Good luck. | 01:45 |
| seekwill | pragmaticenigma: I really like fluxbox :) | 01:45 |
| pragmaticenigma | seekwill: XFCE is a lighter weight desktop and has some of the same features of fluxbox... I don't think there are any straight up Fluxbox version of Ubuntu | 01:46 |
| bl4ckcomb | BlackWeb, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DVDShrink | 01:46 |
| zykotick9 | pragmaticenigma, XFCE is HEAVY compared to fluxbox | 01:46 |
| seekwill | zykotick9: Well, that's why I was wondering how the server is different than desktop or alt | 01:46 |
| xangua | !minimal | seekwill pragmaticenigma | 01:46 |
| ubottu | seekwill pragmaticenigma: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 01:46 |
| bl4ckcomb | BlackWeb, this one requires wine though... | 01:47 |
| seekwill | xangua: ah, I'll look into that. Thanks! | 01:47 |
| zykotick9 | seekwill, i just don't believe is servers with GUIs is all... | 01:47 |
| rypervenche | seekwill: I second that. | 01:47 |
| thenkill | mkay, I installed yate-gtk2 through apt-get | 01:47 |
| somsip | seekwill: install minimal install CD. Then install something that depends on X. It should pull in eveyrthing you need. Worked for me using awesomeWM | 01:47 |
| pragmaticenigma | xangua: he's looking for a GUI desktop with fluxbox... and I said XFCE is a "Lighter" not light-weight | 01:47 |
| thenkill | when I type yate-gtk2 in | 01:47 |
| thenkill | it is not found | 01:47 |
| seekwill | somsip: Sounds like a plan. | 01:48 |
| thenkill | ok im sorry | 01:48 |
| zykotick9 | thenkill, open a terminal and type "yate<TAB><TAB>" to see the various yate* executables - perhaps one will stick out? | 01:48 |
| thenkill | i found a new entry in the menu for it.. | 01:49 |
| thenkill | and it opened up | 01:49 |
| somsip | seekwill: since then I've had to pull in a few gnomish components when I've installed other packages, but nothing too heavy AFAICT | 01:49 |
| thenkill | Thanks again | 01:49 |

| thenkill | gnome | 01:57 |
| bl4ckcomb | DemoOn, /etc/X11/xorg.conf I think. it should be on the page I gave you | 01:57 |
| DemoOn | bl4ckcomb: i don't have that, cuz page says xorg isnt needed anymore | 01:57 |
| bl4ckcomb | thenkill, then you can add it by right-clicking the panel and adding widgets | 01:57 |

| thenkill | I see no volume or alsa mixer in the list of panel widgets | 01:59 |

| dsirijus | ok, i've managed to narrow down the issue to following - when cursor is moving too fast, it stops | 02:05 |

| net | can you help me? how to set up krusader to automatically open mp3 files in audacious? | 02:05 |
| Nertskull | Anyone have suggestions for the best podcast client (i.e. gpodder) for ubunut? Should I just be sticking with gpodder? | 02:06 |
| StepNjump | jrib I have a backup I made. Since I'm still thinking the win way, I didn't realize before that I could use the backup to restore my ~/. is that true? | 02:06 |
| StepNjump | Nertskull, please let me know when you find it because I'm looking for one too | 02:07 |
| pragmaticenigma | Nertskull: gpodder is available for Ubuntu | 02:07 |
| pragmaticenigma | Nertskull: Otherwise Miro uses some of the same code but has a nicer interface and built in player | 02:08 |
| Nertskull | pragmaticenigma: Yeah I've been using gpodder, I was wondering if there was something better, sorry I should have phrased it better | 02:08 |
| Nertskull | I'll give miro a look | 02:09 |
| StepNjump | What is the best way to copy all folders and all containted data by overwriting the destination with cp please? | 02:09 |
| pragmaticenigma | Nertskull: Miro and gpodder both are built on the same Python code | 02:09 |
| pragmaticenigma | another option is Juice, but I have not had any experience with it... I have been really happy with gpodder | 02:09 |
| pragmaticenigma | StepNjump: you can use the argument -f and it will force the overwritting of files | 02:10 |
| fouad_ | hi guys | 02:11 |
| pragmaticenigma | Hello fouad_ | 02:11 |
| StepNjump | thank you very much pragmaticenigma | 02:12 |
| fouad_ | is anyone experienced with the Zend framework? | 02:13 |
| pragmaticenigma | StepNjump: It's always a good idea to check if there is a man page to explain all the options some of the more common commands. Example: man cp | 02:13 |
| Plop | hello | 02:13 |
| pragmaticenigma | StepNjump: You will find lots of cool features you never might know about | 02:13 |
| pragmaticenigma | fouad_: what specifically about the Zend framework do you have a question about? You may find you get an answer faster if you use a more specific question | 02:14 |
| fouad_ | im so confused with the setup haha | 02:14 |
| fouad_ | i did sudo apt-get install zend-framework | 02:15 |
| fouad_ | but i dont know where to go from here | 02:15 |
| pragmaticenigma | why are you installing zend? | 02:15 |
| Plop | wow guys... I'm very new to this | 02:15 |
| Plop | not IRC, but Ubuntu... | 02:15 |
| Plop | i like the app-finder-installer | 02:16 |
| fouad_ | im rewriting my QR code application | 02:16 |
| pragmaticenigma | Send is a framework, not a programming language | 02:16 |
| pragmaticenigma | rather "zend" | 02:16 |
| fouad_ | i know | 02:17 |
| pragmaticenigma | I guess I don't understand why you would install zend then... | 02:17 |
| fouad_ | im wrote it in PHP | 02:17 |
| fouad_ | just coding everything normally | 02:17 |
| fouad_ | with my messy classes | 02:17 |
| pragmaticenigma | Ah, you don't need the Zend framework for that... | 02:17 |
| orlok | I dont suppose anybody here has used ubuntu within a pci-dss compliant scope? | 02:17 |
| pragmaticenigma | you only need to install the PHP libraries | 02:18 |
| fouad_ | there is a QR code library in Zend | 02:18 |
| fouad_ | which i wanted to utilized | 02:18 |
| Nertskull | In regards to podcasts, anyone have good ideas how to sync between ubuntu and an android phone. So I can keep track of already played ones on the phones? | 02:18 |
| pragmaticenigma | fouad_: I would highly recommend you find a classmate that might be able to help you get things setup... | 02:18 |
| pragmaticenigma | Otherwise http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/learning.quickstart.create-project.html is a tutorial site I found | 02:19 |
| somsip | fouad_: do you really need Zend. If you just want a QR class, Zend is a bit of a slaedgehammer for a nutty problem | 02:19 |
| xangua | Nertskull: tried Ubuntu One¿ | 02:19 |
| pragmaticenigma | Nertskull: I have not seen anything like that | 02:20 |
| StepNjump | pragmaticenigma I know but right now I have no time for that... I changed all my attributes in my ~/.* files | 02:21 |

| StepNjump | I'm going to try to restore from backup | 02:21 |

| bazhang | Plop, sure it can | 02:22 |
| Plop | cool.. :) | 02:22 |
| Plop | where do I go? .. i'm newb.. channel suggestions? | 02:22 |
| StepNjump | oh yes pragmaticenigma? How???????????????/ | 02:22 |
| xangua | Plop: clic on Save As | 02:22 |
| pragmaticenigma | Plop: When saving your document you will see an option to change the file format in the save file dialoge | 02:22 |
| StepNjump | If you could find me a way, I would appreciate it a lot. All my files are chmod 644 | 02:22 |
| fouad_ | my main focus was on the application | 02:22 |
| pragmaticenigma | StepNjump: navigate to the base directory where you want to affect your changes to. For instance if you user home directory go to cp /home/user | 02:23 |
| Plop | thanks guys, i was just wondering for future | 02:23 |
| pragmaticenigma | StepNjump: Then run: sudo chmod a=rwX ./ | 02:23 |
| StepNjump | pragmaticenigma do you mean cd /home/user? | 02:24 |
| pragmaticenigma | StepNjump: Yes, sorry I get the two backwards all the time | 02:24 |
| fouad_ | and i was using the google chart api. but now i want to rewrite the rendering | 02:24 |
| fouad_ | and the creation to make it more custom | 02:24 |
| StepNjump | Yes but that would but everything the same.. I looked at all the permissions in there and they are all different pragmaticenigma | 02:24 |
| StepNjump | that's one I will never forget. I spent my youth in DOS pragmaticenigma | 02:25 |
| pragmaticenigma | StepNjump: Yes, they are different, but this will not hurt anything | 02:26 |

| StepNjump | and smb:// | 02:29 |
| owner_ | I'm having a huge file permissions issue | 02:29 |
| StepNjump | pragmaticenigma sorry | 02:29 |
| pragmaticenigma | StepNjump: another option would be to setup a new user account, copy your personal files to that new account and then delete the old account | 02:29 |
| StepNjump | Yes I though about doing that too | 02:29 |
| pragmaticenigma | StepNjump: that way your the normal settings are setup properly, and you only have to worry about your personal files | 02:30 |
| owner_ | Ya guys that's what i just did, but the permissions are wrong. | 02:30 |
| StepNjump | What about if I were restoring from my backintime? | 02:30 |
| owner_ | SOS please help | 02:30 |
| pragmaticenigma | I'm not familiar with backintime, sorry | 02:30 |

| scorinitron | I'm trying to install flubox in xubuntu do I need to get rid of anything first? | 02:32 |
| pragmaticenigma | penguin_03: Ubuntu is based on Debian... I would think that anything available to Debian should be available in Ubuntu | 02:32 |
| owner_ | pragmaticenigma I tried that | 02:32 |
| owner_ | it's telling me that I don't have permission | 02:32 |
| bazhang | scorinitron, nope | 02:32 |
| owner_ | because I can't change the .gvfs file | 02:32 |
| pragmaticenigma | owner_: check out jiohdi comment | 02:33 |
| owner_ | I tried changing the permissions for .gvfs but it won't let me | 02:33 |
| owner_ | using sudo nautilus | 02:33 |
| scorinitron | Thanks bazhang, I'm new to the xfce GUI how would I get/apply themes? (trying to get a wicked tron theme going ^^) | 02:33 |
| bazhang | scorinitron, in flux? or in xfce4 | 02:34 |
| bazhang | scorinitron, oh wait flubox? or did you mean fluxbox | 02:34 |
| owner_ | chmod: cannot access `/home/owner/.gvfs': Permission denied pragmaticenigma jiohdi | 02:34 |
| scorinitron | Yeah Yeah Fluxbox ^^ | 02:35 |
| scorinitron | and I'm using xubuntu 11.10 I think that's xfce4 | 02:35 |
| jiohdi | owner_, u=rx does not give you write permissions... that seems important | 02:35 |
| bazhang | scorinitron, log out then choose fluxbox from the login screen | 02:35 |
| pragmaticenigma | scorinitron: yes, there isn't anything you should remove until after you have fluxbox installed | 02:35 |
| scorinitron | wait a min...I didn't install it | 02:35 |
| owner_ | jiohdi that's correct | 02:35 |
| jiohdi | owner_, if you have no write permission... dont that mean you cannot alter it? | 02:36 |
| owner_ | I haven't used chmod before | 02:36 |
| scorinitron | what's the Terminal command? I keep getting it wron | 02:36 |
| scorinitron | g | 02:36 |
| owner_ | jiohdi I ran nautilus as sudo to try and fix it | 02:36 |
| jiohdi | scoopex, xterm? | 02:36 |
| owner_ | jiohdi tried right clicking on it to change the properties | 02:37 |
| jiohdi | scorinitron, sorry | 02:37 |
| pragmaticenigma | owner_: the problem with that is nautilus needs that folder to work | 02:37 |
| scorinitron | ? | 02:37 |
| fouad_ | does anyone know of a good php QR code generator library ? | 02:37 |
| jiohdi | btw, I just discovered guake, which gives you an instant drop down terminal screen on f12, I love it | 02:37 |

| bazhang | scorinitron, terminal command to install fluxbox? | 02:37 |
| scorinitron | ^^ Yep | 02:37 |
| bazhang | !find flux | 02:38 |
| owner_ | pragmaticenigma so your saying I have to close the system and start it in terminal only mode with no GUI to fix this? | 02:38 |
| ubottu | Found: fluxbox, torrentflux | 02:38 |
| scorinitron | sudo apt-get install fluxbox ? | 02:38 |
| bazhang | yep | 02:38 |
| scorinitron | didn't work... | 02:38 |
| pragmaticenigma | owner_: I think what you need to do is create a new user account and move your stuff to it | 02:38 |
| bazhang | what error scorinitron | 02:38 |
| owner_ | pragmaticenigma if I do that, I'll still have my file permission issues | 02:38 |

| fouad_ | pragmaticenigma, could you please recommend to me a php framework that is good for rendering QR codes | 02:45 |
| pragmaticenigma | hdpb: No, best to remove it from your context menu and instead designate a folder and setup a script to clear files placed in it using shred | 02:45 |

| goer | Hi all. I hv Ubuntu installed and another debian distro. I need to reinstall Ubuntu but want to keep the grub of the other distro intact. Hoto pls. Thnx | 02:56 |
| goer | Howto | 02:56 |
| pragmaticenigma | scorinitron: I think it's time to experiment... also, I think google is going to get you answers much quicker than we can as you learn new territory | 02:56 |

| stoufa | hi everybody | 02:56 |
| goer | hi | 02:56 |
| bazhang | goer, what other distro | 02:56 |
| goer | Elive2 | 02:57 |
| scorinitron | Thanks guys | 02:57 |
| pragmaticenigma | benjr: We need more information , what is the make and model of the webcam | 02:57 |
| scorinitron | I guess I'm off | 02:57 |
| pragmaticenigma | benjr: Have you tried searching for your device name and ubuntu or linux on google to see if others have had problems or solutions on how to resolve the issue you are experiencing | 02:57 |
| goer | bazhang, is that a Chinese name? Ba Zhang | 02:58 |
| bazhang | goer, elive2 is a derivative of ubuntu? why not just use e17 with ubuntu | 02:58 |
| Elems | Sup dudes. ctrl + alt + f2 through f6 all bring up a blank screen, no console or anything. Also, I have no splash image when this laptop starts up, are these issues possibly related? | 02:59 |

| bazhang | !webcam > benjr | 02:59 |
| ubottu | benjr, please see my private message | 02:59 |
| goer | bazhang, No, that is another issue. I just want to know how to do the reinstall whilst keeping my Other distro grub intact | 02:59 |
| bazhang | benjr, best to check the list of supported webcams | 03:00 |
| pragmaticenigma | Elems: no, they are likely different... splash screen is related to your graphics drivers | 03:00 |
| benjr | pragmaticenigma, its a "Creative Live! Cam Optia", as for searching google, the first few pages ive found are just peoepl saying it worked, still searching now | 03:00 |
| benjr | bazhang, thanks, checking that site now | 03:00 |
| pragmaticenigma | ttys are setup differently... what is the make and model of your computer Elems | 03:00 |
| bazhang | goer, well you'd have to update grub for elive2 then | 03:00 |
| bazhang | goer, not sure why it matters which writes to the mbr though | 03:01 |
| goer | bazhang, Ah, ok, reinstall ubuntu and then boot into the other dualboot ditro and do a sudo update -grub? | 03:01 |
| Elems | pragmaticenigma : I have a lenovo u460 with the geforce 305m graphics card, using proprietary drivers, and switchable graphics turned off in my bios | 03:01 |
| Henric__ | I was hoping someone could help me. Oneirc Ocelot won't load Unity, in normal or recovery mode. | 03:02 |
| goer | bazhang, If I use the ubuntu mbr the other ditro hangs, That is why | 03:02 |
| bazhang | goer, that would do it, though it adds an extra (and unnecessary imo ) step | 03:02 |
| stoufa | I have a problem with webcam and graphics card does not work | 03:02 |
| pragmaticenigma | Elems: I have the same issue with my desktop and an nvidia card... sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't... any particular reason you need the ttys outside the GUI? | 03:02 |
| Elems | pragmaticenigma not really, just an observation recently. I was thinking it could somehow be related to suspend and hibernate not working on this laptop, which was going to be my next issue to ask about | 03:03 |
| goer | bazhang, I hv seen a howto on installing Windoze as dualboot, after ubuntu is already installed. But hv lost the location where... | 03:04 |
| benjr | bazhang, that list says its supported by UVC, the UVC's website says that the driver is natively installed in kernel 2.6.26 and later, im running kernel 2.6.35 | 03:04 |
| Elems | pragmaticenigma also, after going into the ttys I can't ctrl alt f7 back into the gui | 03:04 |
| pragmaticenigma | Elems: suspend and hibernate are known issues for all machines... the two are highly unrelated... however I wouldn't be concerned about not seeing a boot splash or having access to the ttys | 03:04 |
| bazhang | goer, well be certain to have backups (of course) and choose the correct partition to write ubuntu to | 03:04 |
| pragmaticenigma | gui is on F8 | 03:05 |
| Elems | pragmaticenigma oh... that would explain that. | 03:05 |
| bazhang | benjr, what have you tried? cheese? camorama? or something other | 03:05 |
| benjr | bazhang, cheese | 03:05 |
| goer | bazhang, thnx 4 ur help. So if i reinstall ubuntu, where to put the grub? In mbr or a separate place? | 03:06 |
| pragmaticenigma | yeah... pet peeve of mine Elems, depending in the distro they seem to move it around... Fedora its F1, CentOS and OpenSuse F7, Ubuntu F8 | 03:06 |
| goer | Wow....I must say this is a very good irc. Gr8! :) | 03:07 |
| Elems_ | pragmaticenigma well that didn't work either :D | 03:08 |
| pragmaticenigma | Not f1 either? | 03:08 |
| pragmaticenigma | Elems_: Does it at least boot into the GUI? | 03:09 |
| pragmaticenigma | Elems_: also, sometimes it takes a moment or two for the screen to redraw when you hit the right one | 03:09 |
| Elems_ | pragmaticenigma What do you mean? I'm on the laptop right now. So what happened is I tried going into the f2, knowing it wouldnt work, then tried to go to the f8 and that didn't work. I waited. | 03:10 |
| pragmaticenigma | what about F1? | 03:10 |
| Mitochondria | Probably Irvine | 03:10 |
| Henric__ | Could someone please tell me why I can't get past grub to Unity in 11.10? I don't want to reinstall Ubuntu and lose what I've been able to download so far. | 03:10 |
| Elems_ | pragmaticenigma I'm not going to worry about that issue any longer... f1 kills it too | 03:10 |
| pragmaticenigma | Elems_: sounds like a good plan... if it does what you need it to, wouldn't worry too much about the rest... it's gotta be on one of the function keys... I just don't know which one (footnote: my laptops running ubuntu seem to use F8 while my desktop uses F7) | 03:12 |

| blargg | OK, I just tried touching a file on this HFS+ journaled volume, unmounting, then remounting, and the date stayed modified, so writing is indeed being allowed.

| bazhang | SpyderZ, does it have the option to boot from usb? how old is old | 03:24 |

If I wanted to share files from other locations can I just mount files to this location and then add the approriate lines to smb.conf? What options should I put for the mount in fstab? | 03:41 |

| Osmodivs | Hello. Is this a bad message from synaptic when updating yhe kernel? run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/postinst.d/dkms 3.0.0-14-generic /boot/vmlinuz-3.0.0-14-generic Error! Problems with depmod detected. Automatically uninstalling this module. DKMS: Install Failed (depmod problems). Module rolled back to built state. | 03:53 |
| Osmodivs | Like, do I have to worry about that? | 03:53 |
| SpyderZ | Geoffmcc: Didn't work…still. Unreal, I hate Sandisk. However miracle friend just dropped by with a spare DVD-R. :) | 03:54 |
| mediat0r | CarlFK: it's a server where many users have access to the shared content. The folders are rwx enabled for users both on the computer and from accross the network. It might not be approriate to even have the data stored in /home | 03:54 |
| CarlFK | mediat0r: in that case your original idea sounds good | 03:55 |
| mediat0r | CarlFK: cool! good to know I was on the right track. any idea what options I need to have for the mount in fstab? | 03:56 |
| geoffmcc | SpyderZ: a friend indeed, good luck! | 03:56 |
| CarlFK | mediat0r: the fstab entry is not really related to how samba shares the dir. fstab gets the file system on a partition mounted so the linux OS can let processes access the files. samba is a process, and it then needs to be configured to share those dirs | 04:00 |
| dr_willis | shareing a ntfs? or other weird filesystem? | 04:01 |
| CarlFK | dr_willis: sounds like normal ext | 04:01 |
| mediat0r | CarlFK: so mounting files i want to share into /srv/samba/ from other locations and then adding lines in smb.conf refferring to the /srv/samba location (rather than the origional location) is kinda unessecary? | 04:02 |
| Amdpc | HI...I am trying to connect to LAN,WLAN and Mobile Broadband at the same time....But it is accepting only 2 connections at a time..Is it normal ? (Wifi is used only to connect to another computer) | 04:02 |
| Amdpc | And If I want all the connections at the same time...How to do that ? | 04:03 |
| CarlFK | mediat0r: what do you mean by "other locations" ? | 04:03 |
| dr_willis | mediat0r: a filesystem has to be mounted somewhere. befor you can share it. | 04:03 |
| dr_willis | it also has to have the proper permissions. | 04:03 |
| opticlove | can someone help me? when i try to shrink a partition using gparted, the system freezes. i'm booting from a live cd | 04:04 |
| Ycarene | Strange, I lost the ability to play .m4a files in qmmp after doing some updates. | 04:04 |
| mediat0r | CarlFK: se files I want to share are already mounted to /home and they are the files I wish to share but I read that it is good practice to have shares located at /srv/samba/ so I thought I could also mount them to that location? | 04:05 |
| CarlFK | mediat0r: there is no "also mount" | 04:05 |
| mediat0r | CarlFK: okay I see where I am confused now :P | 04:05 |
| dr_willis | mediat0r: you can easially set up the users 'homes' as a special share. where user bob, could connect to a share thats /home/bob user bubba can get to /home/bubba and so forth. | 04:05 |
| seekwill | Hi. Which file determines which rcX file is used when starting up? | 04:06 |

| asmodeus | how do i get window focus to follow the mouse again? after upgrading to 11.10, i can't seem to find window settings anywhere. | 04:07 |
| dr_willis | asmodeus: i saw that setting somewhere. :) it Might have been in the gnome-tweak tool. | 04:08 |
| fengshaun | hi all, how can I make a daemon autostart on boot? | 04:08 |
| nvz | are there any fancy options for an unsupported printer like there are for network cards? I got a Lexmark X2350 here and doesnt seem to work at all in linux | 04:08 |
| fengshaun | like ssh daemon in this case | 04:09 |
| asmodeus | dr_willis: installing... | 04:09 |
| dr_willis | fengshaun: when you install the open ssh service. it should set itself to autostart by default. | 04:09 |
| fengshaun | dr_willis: ah, alright! Thanks! | 04:09 |
| dr_willis | you can use the service command to see what services are running | 04:10 |
| fengshaun | dr_willis: that helps, thanks | 04:11 |
| asmodeus | dr_willis: That did it. Thanks. Any idea how I can get my drawers back on the menu bar? | 04:12 |
| dr_willis | what drawers? You using gnome classic? or unity or what? | 04:13 |
| asmodeus | sorry, gnome classic. | 04:14 |
| dr_willis | i dont use it.. thers some shift-ctrl-right click combo to tweak the panels.. | 04:14 |
| l3mon | yea the new bar is terrible | 04:15 |
| chavov_ | i think it's alt-right click | 04:15 |
| asmodeus | dr_willis: alt-right click did it. T | 04:15 |
| asmodeus | Many than ks | 04:16 |
| dr_willis | perosnally.. i think they shouldent even have the fallvback/classic modes. :) gnome2 is dead.. time to move on. :P | 04:16 |
| === michaelr_ is now known as rnexussix | ||
| l3mon | this bar is pretty terrible everyone knows it | 04:18 |
| asmodeus | not to be "too cool for the room", but I just found unity to be unusable. For example: why would it hide my file, edit, view, etc. menus from me? | 04:18 |
| bazhang | l3mon, hardly a support question though | 04:18 |
| dr_willis | asmodeus: you mean move them to the top global menu? | 04:18 |
| dr_willis | you can turn global menu on/off if you wanted to. | 04:19 |
| chavov_ | no he means not hide them when the mouse is off, but of course you can't do that | 04:19 |
| l3mon | no but Im just voicing my opinion | 04:19 |
| blake | gnome shell is amazing | 04:19 |
| zibbit | Hi, i need help desperately, i am trying to take the steps necessary in installing Windows 7 on my cmputer sans dvd, can anyone hep me? | 04:19 |
| bazhang | l3mon, #ubuntu-offtopic for chit chat please | 04:19 |
| dr_willis | zibbit: ive heard you can dd the win7 iso to a flash to make a bootable flash.. but you may want to ask in #windows | 04:19 |
| bazhang | zibbit, related to ubuntu how? | 04:19 |
| l3mon | and now I go to mint | 04:20 |
| orlok | zibbit: Why.. would you ask that here? Just because you think we know everything? | 04:20 |
| docmur | There is a serious issue with my network, every so often is seems to lose network connectivity and just not function, then it would work for a while and do this all over again. When it does wortk I get great bandwidth to and from the router, when it seems to not respond it can't contact the modem | 04:20 |
| zibbit | Evidenly it seems as though u know everything so tell me why i'm wrong for making that assumtion... i am copying files to the root directory | 04:20 |
| chaslinux | docmur is it a dlink router? | 04:21 |
| docmur | yes | 04:21 |
| zibbit | i am taking trying to create an appropriate partition | 04:21 |
| bazhang | zibbit, ##windows | 04:21 |
| docmur | I have two connections to it | 04:21 |
| docmur | a wireless and wired | 04:21 |
| chaslinux | docmur do you also have Windows clients on that router? | 04:21 |
| orlok | zibbit: you are not asking how to install ubuntu, you are asking how to install windows.. so ask ##windows? | 04:21 |
| docmur | both active | 04:21 |
| zibbit | Jtfking christ, i want to knw abut a partition, forget the hostility... | 04:22 |
| chaslinux | docmur what I've found with every dlink wifi router I've owned is they all seem to do that around the 5-6 month mark. | 04:22 |
| chaslinux | I switched to a Linksys router and haven't had a problem. | 04:22 |
| bazhang | zibbit, no cursing, and wrong channel for it ##windows please | 04:22 |
| chaslinux | docmur I noticed it happening with dlink routers particularly when Windows clients tried doing Windows Live sessions... don't know why but the darn dlink wifi routers just don't seem to be very good. (went through 3 myself) | 04:23 |
| docmur | I seem to have lost connection to this | 04:24 |
| chaslinux | yup, I also upgraded the firmware after resetting the routers and the upgrades didn't help any... | 04:25 |
| chaslinux | Honestly, even netgear routers lasted longer for me... but now using Linksys and Tomato/MLPPP and it's nice and stable... mind you we only have 1 Windows client in the house. | 04:25 |
| docmur | sorry got disconnected | 04:25 |
| docmur | anyone have an idea | 04:25 |
| mohi666 | How can I find out info about my motherboard? | 04:28 |
| bazhang | mohi666, sudo lshw | 04:28 |
| nvz | mohi666: what kind of info are you looking for? | 04:28 |
| nvz | usually lshw, lsusb, lspci..etc will tell you tons | 04:29 |
| nvz | adding -v's as needed | 04:29 |
| chaslinux | mohi666 lshw, lspci, cat /proc/cpuinfo, cat /proc/meminfo | 04:29 |

| tucemiux | what's the recommended ubuntu version for netbooks nowadays? | 04:30 |
| bazhang | tucemiux, the latest | 04:30 |
| chaslinux | tucmemiux after 10.04 they merged the netbook remix into the normal release. | 04:30 |
| bazhang | !une | tucemiux | 04:30 |
| ubottu | tucemiux: Starting with Ubuntu 11.04, the Ubuntu Netbook Edition is no longer being offered as a separate install as Unity is now standard for all Ubuntu desktop installs. | 04:30 |
| tucemiux | bazhang, thanks! you know if I can install 11.04 using a usb stick? | 04:31 |
| bazhang | tucemiux, sure, use unetbootin | 04:32 |
| tucemiux | bazhang, my laptop has 11.04 so Im going to create a usb stick with it | 04:32 |
| Jordan_U | tucemiux: Might as well go with 11.10. | 04:32 |
| tucemiux | Jordan_U, yeah but its going to be a pain to create the usb stick | 04:32 |
| Jordan_U | tucemiux: Why do you say that? | 04:33 |
| chaslinux | tucemiux just use startupdiskcreator in Ubuntu 11.04 with an ISO it's easy | 04:33 |
| tucemiux | Jordan_U, because I have to download 11.10? | 04:33 |
| tucemiux | but you know what, i dont have 11.10 - going to download just for kicks and giggles | 04:34 |

| A|i3N | Is there any software similar to artisteer for editing Joomla templates available for ubuntu? | 04:42 |
| digdeep | Hi, I use Jupiter to control my laptop's performance. I put it into power save mode, as the laptop is hot. After upgrade to latest kernel, the fan runs like crazy and it is hot. | 04:46 |
| digdeep | Jupiter doesn't seem to be working. | 04:47 |
| tucemiux | bazhang, I dont see an option in unetbootin for 11.10?? | 04:47 |
| bazhang | digdeep, jupiter installed from where? | 04:47 |
| rfay | digdeep, there is a serious problem with battery performance in latest Ubuntu - you'll see it in the latest release notes. Could be related? | 04:47 |
| dr_willis | tucemiux: theres altertives to unetbootin at the pendrivelinux web site. Or you can 'dd' the 11.10 iso directly to a flash drive and have a bootable flash. | 04:48 |
| Jordan_U | tucemiux: Just download the Ubuntu 11.10 iso and tell unetbootin to use it. It will work. | 04:48 |
| tucemiux | Jordan_U, but which option should I choose? under "SELECT VERSION"??? | 04:49 |

| alazare619 | just wanted to say found a pretty cool linux mmo called wakfu | 04:49 |
| alazare619 | check it out | 04:49 |
| samc101 | does anyone use blackbuntu | 04:49 |
| alazare619 | not much for linux gaming but this is worth a look | 04:49 |
| bazhang | digdeep, some PPA from webupd8? | 04:49 |
| digdeep | @bazhang, yes | 04:50 |
| bazhang | samc101, no idea, not a supported distro here | 04:50 |
| samc101 | ok thanks | 04:50 |
| Jordan_U | tucemiux: You shouldn't. Use the Diskimage option. | 04:50 |
| bazhang | digdeep, sorry, try contacting the PPA maintainer I guess | 04:50 |
| digdeep | anyway to lower the performance of my laptop. It is too hot | 04:50 |

| SpyderZ | Is there anyways to install Ubuntu from the command line instead of the GUI it auto boots into? | 04:53 |
| bazhang | SpyderZ, using the alternate cd? text based you mean? | 04:53 |
| SpyderZ | Yeah, text based | 04:54 |
| bazhang | SpyderZ, the minimal or the alternate cd then | 04:54 |
| SpyderZ | I have a laptop with a cracked screen and have a second LCD monitor hooked up. | 04:54 |
| SpyderZ | I set the BIOS to CRT only to have the LCD as the primary but Ubuntu ignores that and the signal is cut off when it loads the GUI. | 04:54 |
| SpyderZ | Thought there might had been some key combo I could press for Text install option. | 04:55 |
| bazhang | !alternate | SpyderZ this and !minimal | 04:55 |
| ubottu | SpyderZ this and !minimal: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal | 04:55 |
| samc101 | does anyone now how to work te bluetooth on ubuntu i have been having some trouble | 04:55 |
| bazhang | SpyderZ, not with the live cd afaik | 04:55 |
| SpyderZ | Thanks | 04:55 |
| digdeep | Jupiter works on lower version of kernel. It is getting cooler now. | 04:57 |

| Jordan_U | tucemiux: You're welcome. | 04:57 |

| bazhang | shayne, check if wine supports it | 04:58 |
| nvz | shayne: ah well that could be tricky.. many apps run well, but that one would involve complicated matter of accessing certain proprietary drivers for a usb device | 04:59 |
| nvz | shayne: have you looked into the blackberry software that is native linux? | 04:59 |
| nvz | shayne: I never owned a blackberry or used any of the software but I do recall there being blackberry sync software for linux | 05:00 |

| thirteenth | (and I put Ubuntu back on--erasing Windows 7 I meant) | 05:05 |

| Dante_ | hii | 05:08 |
| Bsims | michaelaa: what plugin is it screaming about | 05:08 |
| thirteenth | Anyway, on my first go at Ubuntu, my touchpad worked fine (Dell Inspiron E1705), but now when I re-installed it, it doesn't detect it-I have to connect my USB trackball to get pointing action.. I looked in the Preferences for Mouse/Touchpad, and touchpad's listed, I just don't know what's going on? Sorry to bother you folks.. | 05:08 |
| michaelaa | it says that i am missing the xvid plugin] | 05:09 |
| Bsims | Ouch laptops are touchy sorry no idea thirteenth | 05:09 |
| Bsims | michaelaa: try telling it to use mplayer or vlc for xvid | 05:09 |
| scorinitron | I think I have a bit of a problem | 05:09 |
| Bsims | install mplayer and all the non free plugings you can find | 05:09 |

| michaelaa | http://www.watch-movies.net.in/ | 05:12 |
| Bsims | jschall: gonna have disable the module, can't remove it its now a dependency | 05:12 |
| scorinitron | Thanks Bsims | 05:12 |
| jschall | Bsims: how? | 05:12 |
| Bsims | then apt-get install something else like jackd or esd | 05:12 |
| Bsims | jschall: http://www.jeffsplace.net/node/12 | 05:13 |
| scorinitron | I can't get this stupid theme to install either :( | 05:13 |
| michaelaa | if you go on that site you it says that you need the xvid plugin | 05:13 |
| bazhang | michaelaa, nope it tells me hulu does not service my area | 05:14 |
| Bsims | jschall: what country ya in? | 05:14 |
| Bsims | er michaelaa what country ya in | 05:15 |
| michaelaa | united states | 05:15 |
| jschall | Bsims: hmm, i'm actually using kde so we'll see how this works... | 05:15 |
| Bsims | michaelaa: huh worjs here | 05:16 |
| Bsims | jschall: same here but cli doesn't care what terminal you type it in | 05:16 |
| michaelaa | how did you do that | 05:16 |
| jschall | Bsims: well, audio currently broken... | 05:16 |
| Bsims | michaelaa: picked a movie and clicked play on the flash window | 05:16 |
| Bsims | jschall: install anything with alsa and then kill pulseaudio via pid | 05:17 |
| michaelaa | for me it says i need a xvid plugin | 05:17 |
| jschall | Bsims: what do you mean install anything with alsa? | 05:17 |
| Know1edge | hey guys, considering to switching to ubuntu, but have one small hang up... i need photoshop for my job, any ideas on how to get around it or use a vm or something? | 05:17 |
| Bsims | or go into sound manager and tell it it needs to use alsa server | 05:17 |
| Bsims | just a second jschall | 05:18 |
| jschall | Bsims: also i installed esound-common, couldn't find anything else to do with esd | 05:18 |

| Bsims | michaelaa: got nothing for xvid | 05:19 |
| rcolby | knowledge, dual booting may be an option if you only need it to run photoshop for work?plus less resource intensive | 05:19 |
| jschall | Jordan_U: any idea how to get rid of pulseaudio? | 05:20 |
| Bsims | Jordan_U: yeah but its pulse isn't native alsa | 05:20 |
| jschall | Jordan_U: and end up with working sound? | 05:20 |
| Bsims | had me some issues with it | 05:20 |
| michaelaa | i have a package called gstreamer that i and it says that it play xvid but it dosent play | 05:20 |
| thirteenth | Some versions of Photoshop run quite well under WINE, so I've read, Know1edge | 05:20 |

| jschall | Jordan_U: "because pulseaudio decided permanently not playing audio for a program after an underrun is a good idea" | 05:24 |
| Nicolus | nick c_nick | 05:24 |
| === Nicolus is now known as c_nick | ||
| dr_willis | buffer underruns :) | 05:25 |
| jschall | Jordan_U: i don't understand why they blame pulseaudio when its installed on almost every desktop linux machine in the world, though. they should probably be working around any of its faults... | 05:26 |
| volga629 | so it looking straight to ldap also I added nss_initgroups_ignoreusers into the sudo-ldap.conf, but this one is ignored too, so the local system user unable run tasks properly | 05:26 |
| Jordan_U | jschall: Have you tried asking in #pulseaudio? Also note that installing esound is probably not a good idea, and since you're using KDE with phonon the instructions for disabling pusleaudio use in gstreamer which Bsims linked too might not apply. | 05:28 |
| bazhang | emmabot, hi | 05:29 |
| Bsims | Jordan_U: though you can tell phonon what backend to use | 05:29 |
| jschall | sigh. i just want my stupid game to work. i think i'll just make a windows partition for the first time in 8 years | 05:30 |
| dr_willis | or just use a desktop that dosent start up pulse audio... | 05:31 |
| soreau | jschall: Whar stupid game is it? | 05:31 |
| jschall | dr_willis: idk where to find one any more. i want latest release of kde, no pulse audio, debian-based | 05:31 |
| jschall | soreau: portal 2 | 05:31 |
| dr_willis | you could always just use some minimal desktop to start the game from | 05:32 |
| soreau | jschall: steam worked in wine for me but my drivers werent good enough to actually play portal | 05:32 |
| jschall | soreau: yeah, steam is working, portal isn't crashing in wine 1.3 but sound doesn't work at all | 05:33 |
| jschall | soreau: portal crashes in wine 1.2 | 05:33 |
| soreau | jschall: Have you tried adjusting sound settings in winecfg? | 05:33 |
| learner_ | hi, im getting this error message when trying to increase priority of "java" proces in 11.10 : "Cannot change the priority of process with pid 25173 to -20. Permission denied" | 05:33 |
| soreau | jschall: toggling hardware emulation | 05:34 |
| soreau | learner_: try sudo renice? | 05:34 |
| === thirteenth is now known as vala | ||
| michaelaa | bsims i have GStreamer FFmpeg video plugin | 05:35 |
| Jordan_U | learner_: renicing to -20 can be a bad idea as it can starve other important processes (hence the need for root privs to do it). Why not choose a less negative niceness? What is your end goal? | 05:35 |
| jschall | soreau: they redid the sound | 05:36 |

| soreau | jschall: that doesnt answer my question though | 05:37 |
| learner_ | sorry im new. | 05:37 |
| Bsims | eh may be a old package try in #pulseaudio | 05:37 |
| jschall | soreau: yeah, i messed with winecfg | 05:38 |
| Jordan_U | learner_: I guess any negative niceness requires root privileges. So sudo should work, but do not use -20. | 05:38 |
| learner_ | im playing minecraft. [ but even if i do -5 it doesnt let me | 05:38 |
| dr_willis | -19.999 :) | 05:38 |
| learner_ | im really new to this, what do i use exactly? : sudo niceness java -10? | 05:39 |
| learner_ | i dont know much about terminal | 05:39 |
| dr_willis | why are you even needing to do this learner_ ? | 05:39 |
| Jordan_U | learner_: Also, changing nicesness might not speed things up at all. | 05:39 |

| Bsims | the_holstar: wineqg but it may be ancient info | 05:42 |
| dr_willis | unity --restart or unity --replace | 05:43 |
| soreau | learner_: dont kill unity directly, just replace it with another wm for example, by running metacity --replace | 05:43 |
| * Bsims grins and I am typing this under urxvt with gnuscreen | 05:43 | |
| learner_ | is it the same efect if i log on with ubuntu classic? | 05:43 |
| soreau | probably | 05:44 |
| learner_ | ok gonna try that | 05:44 |
| learner_ | ill be back | 05:44 |
| soreau | unless compiz is the default | 05:44 |
| soreau | in which case you would still need to run metacity --replace | 05:44 |

| yagoo | am looking for the RTFM document to disable NM*= , I want to only use /etc/network/interfaces << I want an official way to do this.. | 05:50 |
| jianfei | how do you know | 05:50 |
| yagoo | anyone? | 05:50 |
| SolarisBoy | yagoo: maybe this "apt-cache depends pidgin" | 05:50 |
| jianfei | what if it did | 05:51 |
| bazhang | jianfei, pardon? | 05:51 |
| ferni | after update to firefox 8 on 11.10 it displays notifications on its own popup on bottom right corner of the screen. it should use the libnotify. right? | 05:51 |
| Bsims | crap gonna have to use xargs my way give me a bit | 05:51 |
| bobweaver | sinisterstuf: but there are 50 dir under ~/foo | 05:51 |
| jianfei | bazhang, every clever | 05:51 |
| bazhang | jianfei, thats enough | 05:51 |
| sinisterstuf | bobweaver, oh, sorry I misread, you can use a forloop | 05:51 |
| === joltik is now known as vulpix | ||
| jianfei | bazhang, sorry mate wont happen again | 05:52 |
| sinisterstuf | bobweaver: cd ~/foo; for i in `find . | grep -i 'jpg$'`; do; mv $i ~/Testing; done | 05:53 |
| sinisterstuf | bobweaver, that should work but maybe try 'cp' or just 'echo' before you try to 'mv' them, if you need an explanation of the commands just ask (maybe in private) | 05:53 |
| === beast1 is now known as yai | ||
| sinisterstuf | bobweaver, also, I separated commands with semicolons (;) so they all go on 1 line, usually you would put a newline where the semicolons are | 05:54 |
| bobweaver | I see i is var | 05:54 |
| sinisterstuf | yeah, a temporary var, I could have called it something more meaningful like $picture | 05:54 |
| bobweaver | that is cool | 05:55 |
| bobweaver | why the $ after .jpg ? | 05:55 |
| sinisterstuf | in a regular expression $ means the end of the string, this will match foo.jpg or foojpg (not right) but won't match jpg2png.sh | 05:56 |
| jianfei | ok who sent her? | 05:56 |
| sinisterstuf | here's some more info on loops: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/loops1.html | 05:57 |
| sinisterstuf | they're really useful | 05:57 |
| jianfei | rarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr | 05:57 |
| sinisterstuf | also if you have spaces in the filenames you might need to escape $i with quotes, as in "$i" (sometimes helps) | 05:58 |
| jianfei | now im awake | 05:58 |
| jianfei | ??? | 05:58 |
| sinisterstuf | jianfei, you ok? | 05:58 |
| the_holstar | how do i install wine? apt-get install wine? will it install everything? | 05:59 |
| jianfei | Snicksie, | 05:59 |
| bazhang | jianfei, stop now | 05:59 |
| dr_willis | the apt system shold install all needed dependencies the_holstar | 05:59 |
| the_holstar | okay | 05:59 |
| sinisterstuf | the_holstar, yes, but you might want to have a look at the different wine packages, some of the update more regularly, sometimes that causes regression with your windows programs | 06:00 |

| the_holstar | hmm | 06:00 |
| the_holstar | yeah | 06:00 |
| the_holstar | that's what i was looking for | 06:01 |
| the_holstar | so wine and winetracks right? | 06:01 |
| the_holstar | apt-get install wine winetracks | 06:01 |
| sinisterstuf | that should be fine, yes | 06:01 |

| mazda01 | has anyone used a home folder which was previously used in 10.04 within 11.10? | 06:05 |
| mazda01 | not sure how some of the customizations or config files will be handled. | 06:05 |
| === syn-ack is now known as Guest90230 | ||
| mazda01 | not to mention all my customizations within the /etc/ folder | 06:05 |
| mazda01 | i'd love to try a dist-upgrade all the way to 11.10 but i have had such bad luck in the past | 06:06 |
| Toph2 | mazda01,,, i am | 06:06 |
| sinisterstuf | I think for at least *some* programs for configin /etc the installer will present you with an option to overwrite / keep / merge / something | 06:06 |
| sinisterstuf | mazda01 ^ | 06:06 |
| mazda01 | Toph2, oh really? so you did a fresh install of 11.10 and just did custom partioning and pointed your mount point /home/ to your old home partiiton? | 06:06 |
| mazda01 | sinisterstuf, i wasn't going to dist-upgrade though | 06:07 |
| Toph2 | mazda01,,, yes,, that is what I did,, i tried an upgrade initially which was a disaster | 06:07 |
| mazda01 | Toph2, that's been my past experience with dist-upgrades that far | 06:07 |
| sinisterstuf | just going to install the new one over, keeping your /home partition? | 06:07 |
| mazda01 | Toph2, i've even had bad results just upgrading 1 version | 06:08 |
| Toph2 | mazda01,,, yes, itwasn't the first time for me either | 06:08 |
| bazhang | mazda01, thats not what a dist-upgrade is | 06:08 |
| mazda01 | sinisterstuf, i think that would result in best stability of my system don't you? | 06:08 |
| bazhang | !dist-upgrade | mazda01 | 06:08 |

| orated | How to increase master volume of client system when connected to it via ssh? | 06:08 |
| mazda01 | bazhang, ok sorry, i am using old terminolgy | 06:08 |
| the_holstar | my wine is not responding at all | 06:08 |
| the_holstar | :S | 06:08 |
| the_holstar | i installed it a week ago | 06:09 |
| the_holstar | it used to work | 06:09 |
| sinisterstuf | mazda01, probably, but in that case, if you're overwriting the / drive all your /etc would be lost unless you back it up, but all your config in ~ would remain exactly intact | 06:09 |
| the_holstar | now it doesn't get started | 06:09 |
| mazda01 | orated, can't you start alsa-mixer using X11 forwarding? ssh -X foo@blah | 06:09 |
| mazda01 | orated, once in, you should be able to type in alsa-mixer, i think anyway | 06:10 |
| mazda01 | it should open an alsa-mixer window on your remote connection screen. | 06:10 |
| mazda01 | sinisterstuf, right, i know all that. | 06:10 |
| mazda01 | sinisterstuf, thank you though | 06:10 |
| admonarelis | hola | 06:10 |
| sinisterstuf | orated, it depends what's playing the music. I think you mean server not client. and if the program has volume control (like mplayer does and mpc does) you can use that, or you can use alsa-mixer for master volume if it's installed and you use alsa | 06:10 |
| mazda01 | sinisterstuf, after the fresh install I run diff on all my /etc/ files I backed to see what changed in the newer versions of the pacakges | 06:11 |
| sinisterstuf | mazda01, sorry I couldn't be of more help | 06:11 |
| mazda01 | sinisterstuf, no, you were helping. sorry if it came off rude | 06:11 |
| orated | sinisterstuf: Sorry, you are rright. I'm at the client end controlling master volume of server | 06:11 |
| mazda01 | alright, take care alll | 06:12 |

| ActionParsnip | rodhash: what did my command output? Simply saying 'didn't work' helps nobody | 06:50 |
| D3RGPS31 | my cursor is moving without a mouse :v | 06:50 |
| ActionParsnip | rodhash: kill the parent process then :-) | 06:50 |
| rodhash | ActionParsnip, the shell frozen when I typed that | 06:50 |
| ActionParsnip | D3RGPS31: do you use a mousemat? | 06:51 |
| D3RGPS31 | ActionParsnip: no | 06:51 |
| ActionParsnip | D3RGPS31: my mouse at work likes to wander unless I use a mouse | 06:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Mat sometimes | 06:52 |
| D3RGPS31 | :l | 06:52 |
| D3RGPS31 | i have no input device other than my keyboard | 06:52 |
| ActionParsnip | D3RGPS31: try a book or similar | 06:52 |
| yesh | anyone had any probs getting skype to work on ubuntu? | 06:53 |
| D3RGPS31 | ActionParsnip: what? | 06:53 |
| ActionParsnip | D3RGPS31: why is the keyboard of interest? | 06:53 |
| D3RGPS31 | ActionParsnip: i removed the mouse, but the cursor is moving on its own | 06:53 |
| D3RGPS31 | ActionParsnip: it's the only input device i'm using right now, yet the cursor is moving on its own :l | 06:53 |
| ActionParsnip | D3RGPS31: yes, you said and I saw | 06:53 |
| ActionParsnip | D3RGPS31: try a book as a mousemat | 06:54 |
| D3RGPS31 | ActionParsnip: ... i am not using a mouse right now, and the cursor is moving, a mousemat is irrelevant :l | 06:54 |
| D3RGPS31 | there is no mouse connected to my machine, and the cursor is moving | 06:54 |
| dr_willis | laptop? | 06:55 |
| sinisterstuf | that happens to me too on my laptop, even when it had windows, I find putting it down on a flat surface with the screen not pushed too far back helps :D | 06:55 |
| D3RGPS31 | dr_willis: no; as i said, there is -no- other input device other than my keyboard | 06:55 |
| sinisterstuf | do you have a ghost in your machine? | 06:56 |

| dr_willis | Hmm.. a lot of users.. but no load. :) | 07:02 |
| skypent | sorry that was meant to be a statement. The question is, can anyone assist with that? | 07:02 |
| aruncn1 | dr_willis: hmm.. this is a high configuration server | 07:03 |
| dr_willis | my box is just my own little server. ssh and samba and thats about it. | 07:03 |
| aruncn1 | What are these dead processes? Do they have any significance? any action required? | 07:04 |
| dr_willis | No idea | 07:04 |
| dr_willis | never really heard of it being an issue | 07:04 |
| aruncn1 | ok | 07:05 |

| alexanderliu | do you know how to install typing software in linux? i am a chinese but i dont know how to type characters. -) | 07:07 |
| dr_willis | just googling aruncn1 and i see... | 07:07 |
| dr_willis | Zombies are dead processes. You cannot kill the dead. All processes eventually die, and when they do they become zombies. They consume almost no resources, which is to be expected because they are dead! The reason for zombies is so the zombie's parent (process) can retrieve the zombie's exit status and resource usage statistics. The parent signals the operating system that it no longer needs the | 07:07 |
| dr_willis | zombie by using one of the wait() system calls. | 07:07 |

| CodeZombie | I'm trying to add a postfix install via apt-get to an unattended bootstrap script for my servers. However, postfix requires some human interaction to select the type of install. Is there a way to specify this, so I don't have to do it every time? | 07:24 |
| CarlFK | CodeZombie: I think you want debconf-set-selections - kinda like this: https://github.com/CarlFK/veyepar/blob/master/setup/pxe/install.sh#L24 | 07:26 |
| CodeZombie | ah, yes thanks CarlFK | 07:26 |
| como | I have a problem: .profile doesn't execute when I log into the graphical session (gdm), but it works find from tty. what could be wrong? | 07:28 |
| como | any idea? | 07:30 |
| aruncn1 | como: you can run gnome-session-properties and check if "user folder update" and "gsettings data conversion" are checked | 07:34 |
| K-Rich | hey all | 07:35 |
| michaela | hi im trying to get the xvi codec to work on ubuntu 11.10 | 07:35 |
| gstreamer236 | How hard is it to port a fedora driver to ubuntu? | 07:37 |
| michaela | when i go on this website http://www.watch-movies.net.in/ it says " you are missing xvid plugin to play vidios" | 07:38 |
| yagoo | gstreamer236, across similar linux/x86.. should be easy | 07:38 |
| yagoo | gstreamer236, pretty much make install | 07:39 |
| michaela | i installed the ubuntu restricted extras | 07:39 |
| aruncn1 | michaela: tried installing smplayer? | 07:39 |
| michaela | ok give me a sec | 07:39 |
| yagoo | aruncn1, isnt ~/.xsession still used in 11.10? | 07:39 |
| yagoo | aruncn1, isnt or ~/.xinitrc still used in 11.10? | 07:40 |
| aruncn1 | yagoo: don't think so | 07:40 |
| michaela | and when i install smplayer how do i open and play the video | 07:41 |
| CarlFK | CodeZombie: debconf-utils has debconf-get-selections wich will show what options were in effect once someting is installed... so you can run that on a box that has postgresql installed and see what settings are avlible | 07:42 |
| CodeZombie | CarlFK: thanks again sir | 07:43 |
| michaela | ok i installed smplayer now what | 07:43 |

| gstreamer236 | yagoo, it has the same kernel version | 07:48 |
| gstreamer236 | so its plausable? | 07:48 |
| gstreamer236 | they have* the same major kernel version | 07:48 |
| yagoo | gstreamer236, what module is this? | 07:49 |
| gstreamer236 | um, whats module? | 07:50 |
| gstreamer236 | googleing it, if you dont mind waiting | 07:50 |
| yagoo | gstreamer236, if you dont know what a module is.. dont bother compiling anything | 07:50 |
| gstreamer236 | um.. sorry? | 07:51 |
| gstreamer236 | well i compiled stuff before.. if that means anything | 07:51 |
| yagoo | gstreamer236, still waiting.. you sure are slo!! | 07:52 |
| yagoo | gstreamer236, you dont know the source of the tarball? | 07:52 |
| gstreamer236 | you mean the driver source? | 07:54 |
| gstreamer236 | we build it with our own software | 07:55 |
| yagoo | gstreamer236, what software? | 07:55 |
| yagoo | gstreamer236, surprises me you keep insisting what is a module.. | 07:56 |
| === LouisJB_ is now known as LouisJB | ||
| gstreamer236 | module is the chunk of code loaded into the kernel to control a device? | 07:57 |
| yagoo | gstreamer236, how old are you? | 07:57 |
| gstreamer236 | 21 | 07:58 |
| yagoo | gstreamer236, you should get some help compiling that module/driver code for your software whatever it is.. | 07:58 |
| michaela | im sorry but can someone privately message me about this stupid xvid thing | 07:58 |
| nvz | gstreamer236: that would be called a driver, a module is a pluggable piece of code that is dynamically loaded.. a driver can be a module, but not necessarily | 07:58 |
| * yagoo thinks gstreamer236 may be compiling thats already available for ubuntu | 07:58 | |
| yagoo | gstreamer236, you're not 21.. | 07:59 |
| michaela | i tried smplayer and that dident work | 07:59 |
| gstreamer236 | why not.. | 07:59 |
| yagoo | gstreamer236, you sound more like 12.. sorry.. but you should just ask what you're trying to do.. | 07:59 |
| nvz | gstreamer236: what is it that you are trying to accomplish? | 07:59 |
| gstreamer236 | i been using windows all my life.. does that justify it? | 07:59 |
| nvz | heh | 07:59 |
| gstreamer236 | im an intern. Im suppose to port intel graphic driver for meego/fedora to ubuntu | 07:59 |
| michaela | xvid dosent work with linux | 08:00 |
| gstreamer236 | i been (unsuccessfully) working on it for a few weeks now.. | 08:01 |
| nvz | gstreamer236: uh.. intel gfx drivers should already be in the kernel, its well supported.. | 08:01 |
| gstreamer236 | yea, but the native driver does support hardware accelerated video encoding/decoding | 08:02 |
| nvz | gstreamer236: what exactly is the problem you are having? | 08:02 |
| gstreamer236 | ._. i wish i knew exactly | 08:03 |
| nvz | gstreamer236: well you need to give me some idea of where your problem is cause to me compiling a module is straight forward.. obtain kernel source, module source, patch, compile.. simple.. even easier with module-assistant | 08:03 |
| gstreamer236 | i kinda just need some pro to tell me its possible | 08:04 |
| gstreamer236 | before i go into depression | 08:04 |
| nvz | uh yeah.. compiling a module is very possible and not a very complicated process typically.. if you have a basic understanding of how to compile on linux | 08:04 |
| nvz | actually if compiling as a pluggable module only the kernel headers are required.. | 08:05 |
| yagoo | nvz, he also said he was an intern.. I'm very shocked because he asks a couple times what a "module" is.. | 08:05 |
| gstreamer236 | ._. im sorry. | 08:05 |
| yagoo | and he says he's been on this a couple of weeks. | 08:06 |
| yagoo | pff.. he's not 21.. | 08:06 |
| nvz | yagoo: IT interns are generally not very knowledgable.. heh.. hell I work projects all the time with people who aren't certified and have no clue what theyre doing | 08:06 |
| yagoo | nvz, lol | 08:06 |
| gstreamer236 | a 12 year old intern would be more talented.. | 08:07 |
| nvz | yagoo: imo you're just bored and unable to help due to lack of information and basically just trolling him.. so.. either we get to the bottom of the actual issue or just walk away | 08:07 |
| alexanderliu | what for | 08:07 |
| yagoo | nvz, it's a lost case. Just rephrasing this.. no point wasting anyone's time. | 08:07 |
| nvz | first gotta know what the issue is.. so far all I got is that he's an intern out of his league new to linux, and wants to compile a driver for a graphics card to enable hardware accelerated encoding/decoding and is having some probably entirely trivially simple issue with it | 08:08 |
| gstreamer236 | ^ that | 08:09 |
| nvz | personally if I were to take the ignorant road, I'd say you're wasting your time and should tell the idiots you work for to get a damn nvidia card if graphics are key.. heh | 08:09 |
| yagoo | nvz, he won't tell you what he's compiling.. only that the source is from fedora.. and that can be even "tailored" for a fedora-edited kernel sourcetree | 08:10 |
| nvz | but thats personal opinion, as I like nvidia the best, its been the easiest all around for me in the past.. and my machines with intel graphics while natively supported are well.. crap.. | 08:10 |
| nvz | yagoo: sounds like a mongolian clusterfuck to me | 08:10 |
| nvz | oh right.. they dont like swear words here.. | 08:10 |
| yagoo | nvz, don't waste your time.. I already asked him the source, and exactly what he wants to compile. I got null answers. | 08:10 |
| nvz | oh well | 08:10 |
| gstreamer236 | the source is packaged into tar on my laptop, using a software made by intel | 08:11 |
| nvz | yeah well as I said before, either you productively make him understand how to do things like get help on freenode and such or you ignore it.. anything more is just trolling | 08:11 |
| yagoo | nvz, i think he's jogging around the prospect of possibility of intertwining distro module codes.. he's jogging around with ideas and not really compiling anything | 08:12 |
| nvz | gstreamer236: so if intel made this code, why isn't in already in the linux source tree? | 08:12 |
| yagoo | nvz, are you an idiot? wtf you keep saying i'm trolling? | 08:12 |
| yagoo | pff | 08:12 |
| michaela | are you guys wasting all our time in arguing because there are other people that need help | 08:12 |
| yagoo | nvz, stop trolling yourself dummy | 08:12 |
| nvz | I see no other questions on my screen | 08:13 |
| nvz | I just seen someone asking about the linux kernel which I know quite a bit about.. | 08:13 |
| gstreamer236 | ubuntu isnt supported | 08:13 |
| gstreamer236 | is that an acceptable answer? | 08:13 |
| nvz | gstreamer236: that doesn't matter.. the linux kernel is not tied to any distro | 08:14 |
| CarlFK | CodeZombie: does this look like what you are looking for? debconf-get-selections | grep postgresql => postgresql-commonpostgresql-common/obsolete-majorerror | 08:14 |
| CodeZombie | CarlFK: wow, you must be bored :) | 08:15 |
| CodeZombie | actually, I was looking for something for postfix, and I got it working | 08:15 |
| CodeZombie | thanks though =) | 08:15 |
| nvz | gstreamer236: for that matter any distro is not necessarily tied to linux as the kernel specifically either.. Debian for example works on freebsd, hurd, and people are experimenting with win32 | 08:15 |
| CarlFK | CodeZombie: oh right.. that postthing :) | 08:15 |
| michaela | how can i get xvid to work with ubuntu | 08:16 |
| nvz | gstreamer236: as for graphics drivers there are generally two parts to them, the kernel side, and the X11 side.. you've only mentioned the kernel which is the far easier part to deal with | 08:17 |
| nvz | michaela: what do you mean by that? | 08:17 |
| gmzlj | nvz: you mean the mesa project? | 08:17 |
| gstreamer236 | i think michaela needs xvid codec and a player | 08:17 |
| nvz | probably but didnt say that | 08:17 |
| nvz | xvid is vague | 08:18 |
| nvz | from my experience totem is very annoying in ubuntu.. | 08:18 |
| gmzlj | michaelni: gstreamer ffmpeg plugin | 08:19 |
| nvz | he left already | 08:19 |
| gstreamer236 | would hardware encode/decode usually be on kernel part or x11? | 08:19 |
| gstreamer236 | owh | 08:19 |
| gmzlj | gstreamer236: neither | 08:19 |
| gstreamer236 | owh.. | 08:19 |
| gmzlj | userspace library | 08:19 |
| gmzlj | will an x11 or opengl or whatever backend | 08:20 |
| gmzlj | on one side | 08:20 |
| gmzlj | and access to the hardware through mesa on the other | 08:20 |
| gmzlj | or libvpau or whatever | 08:20 |
| nvz | gmzlj: you obviously have knowledge where I do not. heh. I only know about compiling the kernel and modules, I dont know much at all about X11 or specifics of graphics framework | 08:21 |
| gstreamer236 | mplayer is suppose to use vaapi for encode/decode | 08:21 |
| michaela | nuz are you still there | 08:21 |
| gmzlj | nvz: its a disgusting mess :S | 08:21 |
| nvz | michaela: yessir, you need to play a video file encoded using xvid? | 08:21 |
| gmzlj | gstreamer236: yeah, it can | 08:21 |
| gstreamer236 | i been installing different versions but non seems to work | 08:21 |
| theishi | I am having trouble installing the google talk plugin... I am getting an error about unmet dependencies, even though the listed files are installed. After the failed install I cannot update or install new programs until I uninstalled the supposably failed installation... i pastebined my full error log here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/749045/ Any help would be greatly appreciated | 08:21 |
| gstreamer236 | vainfo doesnt work properly | 08:22 |
| nvz | theishi: try sudo apt-get -f install | 08:22 |
| sskniranjan | is there any way to assign keyboard shortcut to any app so that we can launch it directly from the desktop | 08:22 |
| nvz | theishi: if that don't work then I gotta read your paste.. heh.. just assuming I know what happened there | 08:22 |
| gmzlj | sskniranjan: yes | 08:23 |
| theishi | nvz: I tried that last time I had this problem, but let me give it another shot | 08:23 |
| nvz | sskniranjan: sure is, I'm not terribly familiar with unity, but I know how to do it in classic interface | 08:23 |
| gmzlj | sskniranjan: look at the keyboard section of system settings | 08:23 |
| theishi | nvz: i am installing via dpkg though btw | 08:23 |
| michaela | nuz when i go to this site "http://www.watch-movies.net.in/" with firefox it does not work it dosent play videos | 08:23 |
| gmzlj | sskniranjan: custom command support is in there | 08:23 |
| nvz | michaela: ah.. see now thats the specifics I needed.. you're trying to watch something on firefox. | 08:24 |
| sskniranjan | qmzlj: how to do tha i am a newbie | 08:24 |
| michaela | yes | 08:24 |
| gmzlj | sskniranjan: do you know where system settings is? | 08:25 |
| gmzlj | sskniranjan: click the keyboard icon | 08:25 |
| michaela | and it says i need a xvid plugin | 08:25 |
| nvz | michaela: I see that, reproducing your problem here.. | 08:25 |
| gmzlj | michaela: gstreamer ffmpeg | 08:25 |
| gmzlj | michaela: don't know the exact package name | 08:25 |
| theishi | nvz: it installed ok, but I am in the same spot as before.. it doesn't work and I cannot install new programs as I have a program with unmet dependencies | 08:25 |
| michaela | i have gstreamer ffmpg it dident help | 08:26 |

| nvz | theishi: that will set your package manager back to straight, but you need to figure out why its not fiding the v4l which should be available in ubuntu perhaps you need to enable more sources | 08:30 |
| nvz | theishi: search for the package it complains about in your package cache | 08:30 |
| Benkinooby | hi, i am invoking a script (using kupfer, an application launcher like gnome-do) wich opens an urxvt terminal and starts mplayer within that terminal. If I press ctrl+c to stop the player, the terminal also gets closed. i want: pressing ctrl+c stops the mplayer but leaves the terminal open. any hints/suggestions | 08:31 |
| nvz | michaela: yes, this site looks sketchy to me.. and I have not resolved the issue.. as gmzlj pointed out typically an ffmpeg plugin would solve this.. doesnt seem to | 08:31 |
| gmzlj | Benkinooby: patch urxvt | 08:32 |
| d3f4c3d | iceroot, something happening !!!! U tha maaan !!!! | 08:32 |
| gmzlj | Benkinooby: that's just how it works | 08:32 |
| d3f4c3d | gettting my shits weeee | 08:32 |
| gmzlj | Benkinooby: or write a wrapper script and run that instead | 08:33 |
| gmzlj | Benkinooby: something like: mplayer $@; exec $SHELL | 08:33 |
| gmzlj | might do the trick | 08:33 |
| Jovaro | I updated to 11.10 but now I have some language issues. I use dutch, swedish and english (in that order) and now I have a mix of all three. Most in english, firefox in dutch, dates are in english and some random things are in swedish. What went wrong there? | 08:34 |
| d3f4c3d | iceroot, d00d if u run "apt-get upgrade" will i mess up my version ? | 08:34 |
| nvz | michaela: if I had to guess after tryng two browsers with several plugins I'd say this site isn't even legit and trying to trick windows users into both paying for something and downloading so-called plugins that are actually viruses | 08:34 |
| nvz | michaela: I could however suggest to you many other sites and means to suit your actual needs | 08:34 |
| Benkinooby | gmzlj, wrapper would be using the script to open a terminal, and let that terminal execute an other script? | 08:34 |
| Jovaro | Oh I mixed up the order... most is in dutch but firefox and dates are in english | 08:34 |
| iceroot | d3f4c3d: no | 08:35 |
| owner_ | Ok, I got on here and needed help with file permissions and the guy in here said the only way to fix it was to re-install | 08:35 |
| gmzlj | Benkinooby: have urxvt launch the wrapper script around mplayer rather than mplayer directly | 08:35 |
| owner_ | so I reinstalled | 08:35 |
| d3f4c3d | iceroot, what is upgrade for ? update not final ? | 08:35 |
| owner_ | Now I need to chmod the files on my backup drive | 08:35 |
| owner_ | all of them in a directory | 08:35 |
| owner_ | sudo chmod u=rwx /media/39077186-bc90-477a-9309-d217923fd117/JayJardee/owner/* -R | 08:36 |
| iceroot | d3f4c3d: only installing security-updates | 08:36 |
| d3f4c3d | iceroot, heres why i need to be carefull - im running dynamips with nic's (10+ bubuntu broke their 802.1q features) and i need that | 08:36 |
| gmzlj | Benkinooby: something like this would do the trick: http://codepad.org/m48KBCi7 | 08:36 |
| owner_ | But it's not changing the files in the directory | 08:36 |
| d3f4c3d | oh nice | 08:36 |
| d3f4c3d | iceroot, thanks | 08:36 |
| maum | hello I would like to install ffmpeg but the message said that Depends: libavcodec53 but it is not going to be installed | 08:36 |

| FloodBot1 | maum: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 08:36 |
| iceroot | d3f4c3d: also see "man apt-get" and read "upgrade" and "dist-upgrade" | 08:36 |
| owner_ | how do I chmod all the files in a directory and all sub directories | 08:37 |
| d3f4c3d | ye its tought on the system that has no mans installed :D | 08:37 |
| michaela | nuz id like that | 08:37 |
| d3f4c3d | i think recursive with folder right ? | 08:37 |
| rodhash | owner_, chmod -R (recursive) | 08:37 |
| owner_ | rodhash i tried that | 08:37 |
| kanhiya | hello | 08:38 |
| maum | http://paste.ubuntu.com/749057/ | 08:38 |
| rodhash | what happened? | 08:38 |
| kanhiya | everyone | 08:38 |

| owner_ | sudo chmod u=rwx /home/owner/* -R rodhash | 08:38 |
| owner_ | I also tried chmod -R u=rwx /bla/bla* | 08:38 |
| Benkinooby | gmzlj, i do not understand that script... what's that $@ ? | 08:38 |
| owner_ | and chmod u=rwx -R /bla/bla* | 08:39 |
| kanhiya | anybody have faced problem in ubuntu 11.10 in blueooth | 08:39 |
| kanhiya | and solved it | 08:39 |
| maum | can someone help me? | 08:39 |
| kanhiya | i got permisssion denied error 13 while connecting any device | 08:39 |
| maum | http://paste.ubuntu.com/749057/ | 08:39 |
| z3r0c007 | any problem maum | 08:39 |

| rodhash | owner_, Ok, but what was the error? | 08:40 |
| owner_ | rodhash the only error is that it doesn't change the permissions of the files | 08:40 |
| sveinse | Hi. Are there protobuf 2.3.* available for oneiric anywhere (backport, PPA, etc.)? | 08:41 |
| maum | I think synaptic server is not good or.. something trouble.. | 08:41 |
| z3r0c007 | maum: one moment i'll check | 08:41 |
| kanhiya | maum: Use ubuntu software center & install ffmpeg from there | 08:41 |
| maum | kanhiya: I couldn't by it. | 08:41 |
| kanhiya | maum: it will auto resolve dependenices | 08:41 |
| Jovaro | I updated to 11.10 but now I have some language issues. I use dutch, swedish and english (in that order) and now I have a mix of all three. Most in dutch, firefox in english, dates are in english and some random things are in swedish. What went wrong there? | 08:42 |
| maum | no it doesn't | 08:42 |
| Benkinooby | gmzlj, also, your script starts the mplayer in the background, so i can not control it (adjusting volume and stuff) | 08:42 |
| maum | kanhiya: I am using ubuntu 11.04 | 08:42 |
| K-Rich | okay boys and girls, i'm off to watch Paranormal Activity 3 and cuddle with my dog. | 08:42 |
| maum | kanhiya: ubuntu software center doesn't fix the dependencies... | 08:42 |
| Benkinooby | gmzlj, thank you for your input and time | 08:43 |
| gmzlj | Benkinooby: it shouldn't. but i never verified it worked either | 08:43 |
| gmzlj | its just an idea | 08:43 |
| Benkinooby | gmzlj, never mind... but could you explain me the $@ ? | 08:43 |
| gstreamer236 | here is what i got with vainfo | 08:43 |
| gstreamer236 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/749058/ | 08:43 |
| gmzlj | Benkinooby: all of ARGV | 08:43 |
| kanhiya | maum: go to the recovery option while booting & than try from there, to update software | 08:43 |
| kanhiya | maum: this one worked for me sometimes | 08:44 |
| Benkinooby | gmzlj, ah, so i would have to enter what i want to give to mplayer as options? | 08:44 |
| gmzlj | yeah | 08:44 |
| gmzlj | i can't remember if it needs to be quoted or not | 08:44 |
| gmzlj | as i said, a starting place | 08:44 |
| dsirijus | hey, anyone having issues with trackpoint or trackstyk? | 08:44 |
| Benkinooby | gmzlj, thought so... was just testing it. no it works without quotes | 08:45 |
| maum | kanhiya: i don't know how and I am curious if I can fix this from recovery option | 08:45 |
| dsirijus | it kind locks for a second every few seconds if i move it too fast | 08:45 |
| dsirijus | and, if i see it correctly, it's recognized as ps2 mouse | 08:46 |
| kanhiya | back to my question, anybody solved bluetooth problem in ubuntu 11.10, unable to connect to device after successful setup of device & is there any way to install older package of bluetooth in Ubuntu 11.10 | 08:46 |
| kanhiya | maum: tell me if there is any message that synaptic packages are broken | 08:47 |
| kanhiya | maum: also required repositry is there in software sources | 08:48 |
| === bluemoon is now known as Guest29456 | ||
| maum | kanhya : could not mark all packages for installation or upgrade | 08:48 |
| KamZou | Hello, would like to know which user is running the cron.daily crontab please ? | 08:49 |
| maum | the following packages have unresolvavle dependencies. | 08:49 |
| kanhiya | most of time, Synaptic mark required changes automatically | 08:49 |
| nvz | dsirijus: if it were me, I'd examine the X log | 08:49 |
| maum | make sure that all required repositories are added and enabled in the preferences | 08:49 |
| maum | ffmpeg: | 08:49 |
| nvz | dsirijus: on a side note, helps to consolidate your question to one line cause its hard to get at what you're asking when the info spans 3 lines between conversation | 08:49 |
| maum | depends: libavcodec53 but it is not going to be installed | 08:49 |
| maum | depends: libavdevice53, libavfilter2, libavformat53 but it is not going to be installed | 08:50 |
| maum | ... | 08:50 |
| kanhiya | show me a screenshot of your software sources | 08:50 |
| maum | ok | 08:50 |
| kanhiya | maum: Use imagebin | 08:50 |
| maum | ?? | 08:51 |
| nvz | heh | 08:51 |
| nvz | maum: paste.debian.net select file to upload /etc/apt/sources.list | 08:51 |
| nvz | same thing, different approach | 08:51 |
| kanhiya | nvz :) | 08:51 |
| e01 | hello, i am upgrading from 11.04 to 11.10 successful but now i had a little problem, qt apps and in my case skype looks ugly, in 11.04 skype follows the look of theme, now it look native qt app and some tooltips and text are unreadable because colors seems similar | 08:52 |
| e01 | is there solution of this problem or it's just in my machine | 08:52 |
| kanhiya | e01: Just roll back again :( | 08:52 |
| somsip | e01: try Skype, Options, General, Choose Style | 08:52 |
| kanhiya | e01: many issues with ubuntu 11.10 except looks, | 08:53 |
| kanhiya | somsip: This one can fix | 08:53 |
| nvz | yeah I recommend to everyone I offer support to, stay away from 11.10 wait it out for next release.. otherwise I no longer offer support. heh | 08:53 |
| e01 | somsip, it doesn't help, i try and with qtconfig but result is the same ;( | 08:54 |
| nvz | I spent about 2hrs testing 11.10 and ran into more issues than I seen in the last 5 years on debian or ubuntu | 08:54 |
| somsip | e01: ok - worth a shot | 08:54 |
| e01 | nvz, me too, i think i back to 11.04 | 08:54 |
| kanhiya | nvz: Performance matters not only looks, right or wrong | 08:55 |
| SpyderZ | Hey guys, just did an install on a old laptop and the VGA extended monitor that I have connected isn't getting recognized in the Display Settings. Any ideas on how to get this working? | 08:55 |
| d3f4c3d | where can i check 802.1q support on nic ? or check loaded modules in buntu ? | 08:55 |
| nvz | personally I'm still fairly new to ubuntu but this 6mo time based release schedule seems insane to me. There is no way you can integrate major version changes of huge desktop environments and such on a time frame.. it has to be thoroughly tested and debugged and not released until ready | 08:55 |
| nvz | I blame all the issues I observed on the Gnome 3 migration that was nowhere near ready to be rolled out as something anyone could even dream to be remotely stable | 08:56 |
| kanhiya | nvz: they should release stable versions, whether it take 1 year , instead of 6 month | 08:57 |
| e01 | ubuntu guys make mistake while go on gnome3 in 11.10, i think this had to be done in 12.04 | 08:57 |
| elky | nvz, while i understand you're frustrated, the people here aren't the ones who make the decisions you're kvetching about, and will not feel much like helping if they are going to be listening to a stream of complaints. | 08:57 |
| kanhiya | i think Mandriva has taken this approach | 08:57 |
| gmzlj | nvz: oh gnome 3 is stable on other distors | 08:57 |
| nvz | kanhiya: yeah well one could argue thats what debian does, this is ubuntu.. and I'd have to agree even as a long time (12 year) debian user | 08:57 |
| gmzlj | nvz: ubuntu is at fault with gnome 3 | 08:57 |
| gmzlj | they patch things too much for unity | 08:57 |
| gmzlj | ubuntu isn't a distro i'd recommend for an excellent gnome 3 experience | 08:58 |
| nvz | gmzlj: so? the issue is not gnome 3, its that with a package system like debian/ubuntu uses you cannot integrate a MAJOR VERSION of a software suite that is over 500 packages on a time frame at all much less a 6mo timeframe.. | 08:58 |
| tolland | what text editors support multipl rows of tabs, preferably at the bottom of the edit window? | 08:58 |
| nvz | gmzlj: too many things changed, not enough time to even FIND all the bugs much less fix them | 08:59 |
| gmzlj | nvz: how did other distros did a better job? | 08:59 |
| gmzlj | *do | 08:59 |
| nvz | gmzlj: Idk cause I only use debian and ubuntu and so far debian hasn't made a release with it | 08:59 |
| northwoods | Is there a way to create an intallation disk from already installed ubuntu 11.10 | 08:59 |
| gmzlj | nvz: its in testing or unstable or both, can't remember | 09:00 |
| nvz | gmzlj: and some distros are commercial and can pay for rigorous testing.. this distro I know from personal experience is hurt because of a need to register to file bugs.. I didnt file any of the bugs I found cause it was too much time for me to get into the process. | 09:00 |
| northwoods | nvz, ? | 09:01 |
| gmzlj | nvz: seriously though, not to bash unity here, but its unity that introduces bugs into gnome here. if it was just gnome 3, it would be better | 09:01 |
| nvz | granted that does probably filter out a lot of b.s. on your BTS | 09:01 |
| northwoods | Is there a way to create an intallation disk from already installed ubuntu 11.10 | 09:01 |
| gmzlj | nvz: im talking fedora, debian, and arch | 09:01 |
| nvz | gmzlj: testing isn't a release.. its testing.. heh | 09:01 |
| kanhiya | I faced that there is no option to create new document in right click, bluetooth not working on any pc that i have tried, no way to navigate windows from panel, how to add applet like force quit to panel & much more , i have faced in ubuntu 11.10 | 09:01 |
| gmzlj | nvz: right, but its not commercial either | 09:02 |
| nvz | gmzlj: thats my issue here.. people think testing in debian and know to expect problems.. ubuntu on the other hand has the upgrade manager flashing in people who have no clue's face upgrade to 11.10 making them think thats safe.. heh | 09:02 |
| jaccoh | any1 running ubuntu on their mac (mini)? | 09:03 |
| nvz | gmzlj: so my issue isn't just with the time based release schedule but with the release process entirely.. people who really dont know crap use ubuntu, and the distro pushes new releases hard on people who dont realize its not as well tested and debugged as a stable debian release | 09:03 |
| jaccoh | i had to reinstall ubuntu and i cant get sound working.. never was an issues on the previous install | 09:03 |
| gmzlj | nvz: ah politics :S | 09:03 |
| somsip | nvz, gmzlj could this go to #ubuntu-offtopic please? | 09:03 |
| nvz | gmzlj: you or I know better, but the majority of users don't | 09:03 |
| gmzlj | somsip: we're about done anyways, sorry | 09:03 |
| gmzlj | nvz: yeah | 09:04 |
| e01 | ubuntu 11.10 is beta for 12.04 :D | 09:04 |
| froes | hi guys. i am having some trouble on X11 forwarding on openssh. has anyone been able to make it work with lxde for example ? is that possible ? | 09:04 |
| froes | logout | 09:04 |
| gmzlj | froes: ssh X11 forwarding doesn't forward the desktop | 09:04 |
| gmzlj | just applications | 09:04 |
| gmzlj | it won't forward lxde | 09:04 |
| mmv | froes: i've done it, with xnest | 09:05 |
| Benkinooby | froes, it only forwards windows of applications | 09:05 |
| gmzlj | froes: you might be looking for x11vnc if you want to forward lxde across the network | 09:05 |
| nvz | froes: yeah you may want to try a different approach for what you're trying to do.. like ssh tunneling a VNC or RDP or something | 09:05 |
| Benkinooby | froes, if you start a graphical application via X forwarded ssh, you'll see the new window# | 09:05 |
| kanhiya | community, tell me is there any way to revert to bluetooth packages of ubuntu 11.04 in ubuntu 11.10 | 09:06 |
| gmzlj | kanhiya: manually download them and install them | 09:07 |
| nvz | kanhiya: you could save yourself a headache and just reinstall 11.04 and not touch shiny new software until you know it works.. because if this is the only problem you've seen, I am fairly certain it wont be the last | 09:07 |
| froes | gmzlj, x11vnc would forward xdm+lxde for example ? | 09:07 |
| mmv | kanhiya: not in any way that's supported | 09:07 |
| Snicksie | jaccoh, you might want to edit your sound settings with 'alsamixer' in the terminal... my macbook has ubuntu with working sound on it :) | 09:07 |
| gmzlj | froes: your whole x11 session, no matter what de/wm | 09:07 |
| gmzlj | froes: so yes | 09:08 |
| kanhiya | gmzlj: from where? | 09:08 |
| nvz | froes: for the display manager to be forwarded you may want something like XDCMP | 09:08 |
| kanhiya | gmzlj: for bluetooth | 09:08 |
| SpyderZ | Looking at my graphics adapter and it says Unknown…anyways to find a driver for my system that will allow my second extended display to work? | 09:08 |
| gstreamer236 | i have vaapi and mplayer installed. mplayer -vo doesnt list vaapi as an option. | 09:08 |
| nvz | SpyderZ: how is this 2nd display attached? both displays on the same card? | 09:09 |
| gmzlj | kanhiya: the 11.04 repos. but you're probably looking for a world of pain should there happen to be version conflicts between dependancies | 09:09 |
| SpyderZ | nvz: It's a laptop with a VGA LCD Monitor hooked up. | 09:09 |
| rog | hi folks, i'm trying to lower the large power usage of my thinkpad x220 since upgrading to 11.10, and i've found this possible fix: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1859781&page=2 | 09:09 |
| nvz | SpyderZ: oh, ok.. well you want to toy with xrandr or something similar then | 09:09 |
| rog | my question is: how do i change the kernel boot parameters? i've looked at /etc/default/grub but it's not clear to me that this is the right place. | 09:09 |
| mmv | rog: hmm, been thinking of buying one of those, how noisy are the fans? i5? | 09:10 |
| nvz | SpyderZ: generally something like xrandr --output VGA -auto or something.. I forget right now.. its 4am here.. heh see the manpage | 09:10 |
| rog | mmv: i5, yes. very quiet fan | 09:10 |
| mmv | rog: any bad comments? | 09:10 |
| rog | mmv: on natty i was getting 8h or more on battery | 09:10 |
| kanhiya | gmzlj: I think i should revert back to ubuntu 11.04 | 09:10 |
| gmzlj | gstreamer236: vdpau | 09:11 |
| rog | mmv: on oneiric i'm only getting 2-3h on battery :-( | 09:11 |
| SpyderZ | nvz: I'm all new to Ubuntu, it's day 1 for me. I'll Google it I guess. | 09:11 |
| kanhiya | gmzlj: Will same problem appear in Kubuntu 11.10 also :) | 09:11 |
| rog | mmv: my wife complains that the keyboard light dazzles her :-) | 09:11 |
| gmzlj | kanhiya: try finding a ppa for bluetooth first | 09:11 |
| gmzlj | kanhiya: something newer might fix your problems | 09:11 |
| rog | mmv: otherwise it's great | 09:11 |
| nvz | SpyderZ: ah, well typically you can enable it from the monitor prefs gui | 09:12 |
| mmv | rog: presumably one can turn that light off? | 09:12 |
| rog | mmv: oh yes, when i'm using it in my lap, the touchpad curves around a little bit and sometimes my clothes will activate it | 09:12 |
| kanhiya | gmzlj: Thanks | 09:12 |
| rog | mmv: yeah. it's mostly off | 09:12 |
| rog | mmv: but when it's on, it could be a little more directional | 09:12 |
| rog | mmv: it's a nice system, and i *was* joyous about the battery life. | 09:13 |
| rog | mmv: hence my quest to regain that! | 09:13 |
| gstreamer236 | gmzlj, isnt vdpau for nvidia? | 09:13 |
| rog | so, does anyone know how to change kernel boot params? | 09:13 |
| gmzlj | gstreamer236: thats all mplayer supports irrc | 09:13 |
| nvz | rog: in /etc/default/grub | 09:14 |
| maum | kanhiya: http://ompldr.org/vYmcxNA | 09:14 |
| gmzlj | gstreamer236: there's a mplayer-vaapi project | 09:14 |
| nvz | rog: first you change the kernel params in there then run update-grub like the file says | 09:14 |
| gmzlj | gstreamer236: i assume its a matter of time before it gets merged in | 09:14 |
| rog | nvz: so if i add this line to /etc/default/grub, it should work?: i915.i915_enable_rc6=1 | 09:15 |
| rog | i.e. each env var in that file is a kernel param? | 09:15 |
| rog | or is there a specific env var for kernel params? | 09:15 |
| nvz | rog: no.. you add kernel params to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" | 09:15 |
| nvz | rog: you'd put that in the quotes with the quiet splash, then run update-grub | 09:16 |
| rog | like this? GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash 'i915.i915_enable_rc6=1'" | 09:16 |
| rog | or double quotes? | 09:16 |
| nvz | rog: assuming that is a valid kernel parameter.. I'd take out the single quotes though it probably wont like that | 09:17 |
| rog | nvz: ah, i misunderstood what you meant by "in quotes" | 09:17 |
| nvz | rog: heh, no worries.. inside the double quotes is the string to append to the linux command line by default its a space separated list of arguments | 09:18 |
| nvz | this ticking sound through my speakers is enough to drive me insane.. heh | 09:19 |
| rog | nvz: i bet that might even be documented somewhere. all the web pages assume you know this stuff, but it wasn't obvious to me! | 09:19 |
| nvz | rog: wasn't to me either.. but thats because I been using linux for 12 years or so, and the new grub does things VERY differently | 09:19 |
| nvz | rog: I'm starting to get used to the way programs split up configuration now though.. | 09:20 |
| nvz | rog: I had the same issue migrating from apache 1.3 to apache 2 ... everone is migrating towards partial config files that are strewn out across the system.. heh | 09:21 |
| Anomie211 | What is the default path for gedit in Ubuntu 11.10? Trying to make filezilla use it as it's default editor but I need to specify the file path | 09:21 |
| rog | nvz: i find it kinda funny that the boot time system is a fully blown shell script... or is that shell script just generating a config file to be used at boot time? | 09:21 |
| deej1976 | Anomie211: which gedit | 09:22 |
| nvz | rog: are you referring to /etc/default/grub? | 09:22 |
| geirha | Anomie211: You should just be able to type in gedit, without a path. | 09:22 |
| rog | nvz: yeah | 09:22 |
| nvz | rog: thats read by update-grub, at the point which grub actually uses that info it's not even aware the filesystem that file resides on even exists | 09:22 |
| rog | nvz: ah, ok, i wondered how that worked | 09:23 |
| nvz | rog: yeah if you don't update-grub then nothing changes | 09:23 |
| Anomie211 | geirha: Type it in where? I'm using the 'Select default editor' tool in Filezilla, no where to type. | 09:24 |
| deej1976 | /usr/bin/gedit | 09:24 |
| Anomie211 | deej1976: I think thats it, ta | 09:24 |
| deej1976 | Anomie211: If you need to find a path to a command use "which" i.e. which gedit | 09:25 |
| geirha | Anomie211: Ah ok. I've never used Filezilla, but usually there's a box where you can just type in the command, next to the file selection. | 09:25 |
| rog | nvz: thanks for the info. even if i had found that option in the documentation (it is there) i'd probably have used GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX rather than GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT | 09:25 |
| rog | which would be wrong | 09:25 |
| Anomie211 | deej1976: ah, handy. Thanks :) | 09:25 |
| maum | I have some problem with installing ffmpeg . anyone can recognize this /??/ http://ompldr.org/vYmcxNA | 09:26 |
| geirha | Anomie211: Or the more portable alternative to which; type. E.g. type gedit | 09:26 |
| nvz | rog: well it annoys me any time things change that I already knew how to do.. but this way is a lot better once you get used to it.. before you had one big config file and had to change command lines for each kernel basically | 09:26 |
| deej1976 | geirha: That comes back "type: Command not found." | 09:27 |
| maum | please help me | 09:27 |
| rog | nvz: i'm a bit surprised there aren't some idiots' guides easily findable out there on the web. (i did look). | 09:27 |
| Jovaro | I updated to 11.10 but now I have some language issues. I use dutch, swedish and english (in that order) and now I have a mix of all three. Most in dutch, firefox in english, dates are in english and some random things are in swedish. What went wrong there? | 09:27 |
| deej1976 | maum: Have you enabled any other repo? | 09:27 |
| deej1976 | !grub2 | 09:27 |
| ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 09:27 |
| nvz | rog: the problem with the old way of configuring things was the times moving beyond slackware style config everything by hand, to automagic auto-configuration.. which clashes with manual config.. so now the automagic stuff does what it does, and when you want to manually hack you make smaller config files that are read in | 09:28 |
| geirha | deej1976: Ah, well it's a builtin in bourne compatible shells. | 09:28 |
| luca_bi | Dear friends could explain to me the role of the keyword $this | 09:28 |
| luca_bi | ? | 09:28 |
| deej1976 | geirha: That explains it, default shell here tcsh | 09:28 |
| maum | deej1976: what do you mean? | 09:29 |
| deej1976 | maum: Have you enable/install any other repository/ppa's | 09:29 |
| maum | deej1976: yes but I failed.. there is a lot more dependencies... | 09:29 |
| maum | deej1976: I don't know how to install ffmpeg on ubuntu 11.04 | 09:30 |
| nvz | rog: a simple example in deb based distros is how there is the /etc/apt/sources.list for your package sources, then there is the sources.list.d/ directory where individual source files can be appended. Things like getdeb and playdeb make use of this, we managed before it worked that way, but it was far more complicated.. now official auto type stuff goes in the config and manual 3rd party stuff can just drop their own configs in the *.d/ dir | 09:30 |
| theadmin | maum: sudo apt-get install ffmpeg... | 09:30 |
| maum | theadmin: I did but the error occured | 09:30 |
| maum | theadmin: like this http://ompldr.org/vYmcxNA | 09:31 |
| rog | nvz: yeah, that makes sense. not obvious when coming to it from scratch though - quite a few layers of abstraction going on. | 09:31 |
| theadmin | maum: Odd... Are you sure you didn't modify the repositories? | 09:31 |
| A_J | Will a PCIE 2.1 gfx card work in a PCIe 3.0 motherboard? | 09:32 |
| maum | theadmin: yes | 09:32 |
| nvz | A_J: thats more of a question for ##hardware | 09:32 |
| * A_J goes there | 09:32 | |
| maum | theadmin: how can I fix this? | 09:33 |
| stimpie | When I boot my laptop (asus n53sv) with an external monitor attached I get some console lines at the external monitor but never reach lightdm. Any one knows what this could be? | 09:33 |
| nvz | A_J: technically I should know that but I can't say with certainty cause I dont work on many new systems and I got certified many years ago.. heh | 09:33 |
| deej1976 | maum: "sudo apt-get install ffmpeg | pastebinit" | 09:34 |
| SpyderZ | nvz: What do I do when Xandr is not a found command? | 09:34 |
| nvz | SpyderZ: its xrandr and just typing that should show you what displays you have | 09:35 |
| A_J | ty nvz | 09:35 |
| maum | deej1976: I cannot install astebinit | 09:35 |
| nvz | SpyderZ: typically the vga output is called VGA and can be enabled by saying xrandr --output VGA --auto | 09:35 |
| SpyderZ | nvz: Thanks! | 09:36 |
| A[D]minS | Morning , Quick question ... How i can kill only this session ----> tcp 0 0 10.229.180.41:36692 64.4.61.31:1863 CLOSE_WAIT 2779/wish8.5 | 09:36 |
| nvz | SpyderZ: I'm at a loss for how to do that graphically due to ubuntu's crappy unity interface I have little interest in learning to use and it being so much different than plain gnome.. heh.. but the command line tricks are the same on any distro.. ;) | 09:36 |
| mmv | A[D]minS: you could kill 2779 | 09:36 |
| deej1976 | maum: what does "sudo apt-get install -f" do? | 09:37 |
| SpyderZ | nvz: I tried the command and it says it could not find the VGA and is ignoring it. | 09:38 |
| SpyderZ | nvz: I guess I'm at the dead end of this machine. | 09:38 |
| nvz | A[D]minS: yeah I'd 2nd the killing the process because that connection has already been asked to close and is in a wait state.. so the app is probably misbehaving | 09:38 |
| cellardoor | After my upgrade to 11.10 my speakers just emit a constant whine. Known issue? | 09:38 |
| nvz | SpyderZ: well thats why I said run xrandr first with no arguments, to see what the displays are called, on my netbook for example its VGA1 for some reason | 09:38 |
| SpyderZ | ok | 09:39 |
| maum | deej1976: ok | 09:39 |
| nvz | SpyderZ: typically one is called LVDS and one VGA on a notebook.. but it varies | 09:39 |
| maum | deej1976: sudo apt-get install -f didn't work | 09:39 |
| maum | the message said | 09:40 |
| A[D]minS | mmv: we don't want to kill the application , yes the application misbehaving and do weird stuff, however it could be a workaround to kill these sessions , any idea? | 09:40 |
| maum | E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) | 09:40 |
| maum | E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 09:40 |
| SpyderZ | nvz: Thanks, I think this one is coming down to a driver issue, that's why the VGA is not showing up at all in the list. | 09:40 |
| deej1976 | maum: Another process has the package database open. | 09:40 |
| A[D]minS | P.S i'm not talking about wish8.5 , it was just an example | 09:40 |
| nvz | SpyderZ: well also some notebooks are strange about that and have a fn key to enable it, sometimes it is easiest to just boot with the display connected and have it enabled that way | 09:40 |
| mmv | A[D]minS: nah, | 09:41 |
| nvz | SpyderZ: there may also be an issue with the driver though.. perhaps you could get further help if you check lspci to figure out what the graphics adapter is, and find out which driver X is using | 09:41 |
| ActionParsnip | maum: are updates running or do you have software centre open? | 09:41 |
| SpyderZ | nvz: The main LCD screen is cracked so I disabled it and left the CRT only option on. Ubuntu boots and it displays on the external monitor at first, but then turns off as it hits the login screen. | 09:42 |
| maum | I am checking now | 09:42 |
| ActionParsnip | !aptfix | maum if not then use the following | 09:42 |
| ubottu | maum if not then use the following: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 09:42 |

I personally need to run across the street to the store.. its going on 5am, been up all night and need a lil something.. heh | 09:44 |

| stevecam | earlier, I was able to use rhythmbox and have very little or none problems,now there is banshee, which seems to hang more often and there is unity that seems to hang as well, chosen over gnomes new shell | 10:16 |
| nvz | personally I gave up on Java after reading Sam's Learn Java 2 in 24 one hour lessons. learned both that I never wanna program java and that sams books are horrible.. heh | 10:17 |
| nvz | stevecam: did you upgrade to a new release? | 10:17 |

| stevecam | ActionParsnip, my point is, i had less problems using my ubuntu system as is earlier, and now im finding after each new release its becoming more unusable | 10:20 |
| nvz | stevecam: 11.10 is horrible, thats not news | 10:20 |
| ActionParsnip | stevecam: do you mean you don't like unity? | 10:20 |
| nvz | stevecam: nobody said you had to upgrade | 10:20 |
| ActionParsnip | nvz: I think you mean unity, you can use KDE in 11.10 and it runs the same as 11.04 | 10:20 |
| stevecam | i am just giving feedback, should i stop? | 10:20 |
| nvz | ActionParsnip: no I mean 11.10.. heh.. first thing I did was install gnome-panel and everything to get gnome on it, and it was all badly broken | 10:21 |
| nvz | ActionParsnip: and clearly this user, like myself prefers GTK to QT | 10:21 |
| ne2k | nvz: at least it doesn't support the vile "feature" that is multiple inheritance | 10:21 |
| ActionParsnip | nvz: I use lxde, not had an issue | 10:21 |
| deej1976 | !notunity | nvz: | 10:22 |
| ubottu | nvz:: 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 | 10:22 |
| osmonde | ok so the other day i used clonezilla for the first time---made an image/wiped the partition,reformatted and restored my os and stuff from the image..All in an attempt to "wipe freespace" after having used photo wreck and finding sensitive data easily recoverd...is there an easier way? | 10:22 |
| ActionParsnip | stevecam: if you dislike Unity with Gnome, there are other desktops you can use and your Gnome apps will run just fine, or you can use Gnome shell too | 10:22 |
| nvz | ne2k: heh.. I'm not much of a programmer.. I like simple programming like python, bash..etc | 10:22 |
| nvz | deej1976: I'm aware of that, doesnt change the fact that its horrible broken | 10:22 |
| stevecam | ActionParsnip, im looking for general usability, what would you recommend | 10:23 |
| ne2k | I release-upgraded from maverick to natty, and it's resulted in a slightly messed up system (usable, but not great). I was contemplating doing a fresh install at some point. ought I to do a fresh install of natty, or of oneiric, or just leave it? I use the classic gnome desktop, btw | 10:23 |
| osmonde | my woman uses cccleaner on her partition and i cant pull too much off after shes used it..shes on win7 ntfs | 10:23 |
| ActionParsnip | stevecam: xfce looks and smells like Gnome2 | 10:24 |
| ActionParsnip | osmonde: foremost or scalpel may help | 10:24 |

| stevecam | when i want to do tricky stuff in linux i use a LFS build that i compile, i dont mind xfce but i like a bit of eyecandy, i have a modern PC and if im only doing general things i dont need to worry about cpu usage | 10:25 |
| osmonde | im a bit noobish but have become clever | 10:25 |
| nvz | osmonde: can you cleverly explain what it is you want to do? | 10:26 |
| osmonde | wipe "freespace" on ext4 | 10:26 |
| osmonde | i am also working on changing my habits as far as deleting things | 10:27 |
| nvz | oh.. heh.. paranoid much? | 10:27 |
| osmonde | not so much..but my finances are important | 10:27 |
| osmonde | incidently i am a bit paranoid..but that doesnt mean they all arnt out to get me..lol | 10:28 |

| nvz | osmonde: look into secure-delete package | 10:28 |
| osmonde | i have the secure delete pacage | 10:29 |
| ActionParsnip | osmonde: if you want to wipe the empty space to all 0s, you can use bleachbit | 10:29 |
| deej1976 | !info secure-delete | 10:29 |

| rodhash | Hello guys, why when I restart the gdm with "service gdm stop/start" it brings a different window login (oneiric)?? At first it's a beautiful login window, but after running the restart cmd, appears something very simple... | 10:29 |
| rodhash | any idea? | 10:29 |
| osmonde | my only problem is that i want to leave all my files and stuff in place | 10:30 |
| osmonde | and just sweep up under it all | 10:30 |
| osmonde | as i said I have chaged how i delete things..i use bleach bit to shred files on a weekly basis | 10:31 |
| osmonde | however..when i look at pics on face book nd stuff it makes its way into my fs somehow | 10:31 |
| gappie | hi | 10:32 |
| nvz | anything you look at online typically gets cached | 10:32 |
| rodhash | Anyone?? Shouldn't appear the same login window? | 10:32 |
| nvz | rodhash: depends on what you changed | 10:32 |
| osmonde | can i take off this caching function? | 10:32 |
| nvz | heh | 10:32 |
| rodhash | nvz, I didn't change anything... I just made a stop / start | 10:32 |
| rodhash | but if I restart the ubuntu... the beautiful login window appears again | 10:33 |
| gappie | i need some assistance please: my ubuntu boots to console mode. How do I run a shell script on startup in console mode? | 10:33 |
| nvz | osmonde: even using something like chromium's incognito mode I believe its still cached temporarily.. not sure though as I'm not that paranoid | 10:33 |
| n97087 | gappie, before or after login? | 10:34 |
| gappie | i am hoping to hve auto login on startup.is that even possible? | 10:34 |
| nvz | rodhash: idk if it were me I'd look at the gdm log | 10:34 |
| osmonde | truth be told my old lady gets in my biz..since shes become techi with the photo rec program..I've heard "whos this" bout a thousand times..and i need her out my biz.. | 10:34 |
| nvz | osmonde: hence why my first comment to your original question was you could stop calling her "your woman" ... "old lady" isn't much better | 10:35 |

| gmzlj | gappie: add --autologin <user> to the command line | 10:38 |
| n97087 | gappie, yes use cron | 10:38 |
| osmonde | I kid...I kid...anywho SECURE DELETE i will be looking into..thx | 10:38 |
| gmzlj | gappie: for that, you shouldn't be doing it like that | 10:38 |
| ActionParsnip | gappie: you can use cron to run stuff at boot, or add the reference in /etc/rc.local You shouldn't have to log in, you can run stuff in the background | 10:38 |
| gappie | n97087 : cron for? | 10:38 |
| gmzlj | gappie: just start your command via upstart | 10:39 |
| gmzlj | gappie: and thats it | 10:39 |
| gappie | gmzlj : upstart? | 10:39 |
| gmzlj | gappie: how ubuntu starts services | 10:39 |
| gappie | gmzlj : so do i edit something for upstart to work? | 10:40 |
| gmzlj | gappie: whats the command you want to run? | 10:40 |
| gmzlj | gappie: read some documentation, there's plenty of it a google away | 10:40 |
| gappie | well i want to run a shell script with some code | 10:40 |
| gmzlj | gappie: when? | 10:40 |
| gappie | on startup | 10:40 |
| gmzlj | and why shutdown afterwords? | 10:40 |
| gappie | before battery of system flat | 10:41 |
| gappie | for save shutdown | 10:41 |
| gmzlj | gappie: rc.local then | 10:41 |
| dr_willis | gappie: and how often are you wanting to do this? | 10:41 |
| gappie | once in week or so | 10:41 |
| gappie | it is a raodside system | 10:41 |
| gmzlj | gappie: how does this computer get turned on? im not sure i understand the utility of this | 10:42 |
| gappie | i tried clean debian, but i know ubuntu | 10:42 |
| dr_willis | gappie: you want to manually controll it? you could set up rc.local to do it.. | 10:42 |
| gappie | the user will install the device on a pole, flip a switch, and the system starts working for 3 hours or so | 10:43 |
| dr_willis | rc.local then could do it.. | 10:43 |
| gappie | ok best place to start reading on rc.local? | 10:43 |
| gmzlj | 10:44 | |
| gmzlj | but its just a bash script | 10:44 |
| gappie | i google myself to death, so then I camehere | 10:44 |
| oCean | gmzlj: don' | 10:44 |
| oCean | gmzlj: don't suggest google here, thanks | 10:44 |
| dr_willis | yea theres not a lot to read on rc.local | 10:44 |
| gmzlj | oCean: i told him is was a bash script | 10:45 |
| dr_willis | its a bash script ran as root at the end of the boot process. | 10:45 |
| gappie | ok so I add my code in rc.local | 10:45 |
| gmzlj | if he doesn't know bash he's going to have to do some reading | 10:45 |
| dr_willis | You sould like you are totally not needing any thing but a custome boot up. | 10:45 |
| gappie | to launch my shell script | 10:45 |

| timo_b | it feels a bit lazy | 10:49 |
| darshan | i am using "find / -name en" command to find a file ,but it is searching me and giving an directory..tell me the perfect command to find a file with name en | 10:49 |
| timo_b | I'm running 10.10 on my Lenovo S10-3 and it's fast as hell | 10:49 |
| Firedog | Is there anywhere that the karmic apt archives are stored in their last state? or have they been deleted from the internet? | 10:50 |
| deej1976 | "find / -name en -type f" | 10:50 |
| gmzlj | darshan: -type f | 10:50 |
| timo_b | I already switched from compiz to metacity, but it's still slow | 10:50 |
| gmzlj | darshan: man find has everything you need in there | 10:50 |
| darshan | gmzlj-wat r u saying plz explain it | 10:51 |
| dr_willis | the name of the file is just 'en' ? thats it? | 10:52 |
| gmzlj | darshan: man find | 10:52 |
| gmzlj | darshan: man is the manual command | 10:53 |
| gmzlj | darshan: just saying all this stuff is documented | 10:53 |
| deej1976 | darshan: "find / -name en -type f" | 10:54 |
| Firedog | darshan, you can use grep if you are searching for a partial filename and you want an easy solution | 10:54 |
| gmzlj | darshan: yes | 10:54 |
| gmzlj | darshan: if en is part of the filename use *en* | 10:54 |
| gmzlj | otherwise it matches exactly en | 10:54 |

| gmzlj | just try to grab something from each one until you find one thats working | 11:00 |

| * Sidewinder1 Sighs.. | 12:04 | |
| Firedog | ;) seriously though. compiz and gnome 2 looks so good (especially cube desktop switching); its frustrating that there is a step backwards. Videos play on 3D textures and windows are dynamic even when moving, etc, etc | 12:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Firedog: shame gnome2 is dead | 12:06 |
| gmzlj | Firedog: technically that last part holds now for mutter and kwin and anything modern | 12:06 |
| gmzlj | as they're all composing window managers | 12:06 |

| gmzlj | *cool | 12:06 |
| crizzy | Firedog: gnome3 fallback mode more or less works like gnome2 | 12:06 |
| gmzlj | but at least you can still run compiz with xfce | 12:06 |
| === wizrad is now known as bubejob | ||
| ActionParsnip | or use xfce4 with compiz as WM | 12:06 |
| crizzy | biggest diff i noticed is you have to hold alt to 2nd click on applets :P | 12:06 |
| === bubejob is now known as wizrad | ||
| gmzlj | crizzy: and its a change for the better | 12:07 |
| Firedog | crizzy, but not with compiz. | 12:07 |
| crizzy | Firedog: false | 12:07 |
| gmzlj | gnome-panel in gnome 2 was actually crap | 12:07 |
| gmzlj | libbonabo everywhere | 12:07 |
| crizzy | Firedog: works just fine | 12:07 |
| gmzlj | that was depreciated ages ago | 12:07 |
| Firedog | I have seen unity with compiz and the side panel did not go with the rest of the desktop | 12:07 |
| gmzlj | Firedog: works fine. fallback mode is still metacity | 12:07 |
| DemoOn | what is uo with that from live usb everything works great, but when i install it it doesn't work? | 12:08 |
| Firedog | DemoOn, probably drivers, generic ones are used on live usb | 12:08 |
| crizzy | gmzlj: it works with compiz just fine. ubuntu even adds session for this, 'gnome classic' and 'gnome classic (noeffects)' just like before when you install gnome | 12:08 |
| DemoOn | Firedog: how can i make it to work with generic ones? | 12:08 |
| ActionParsnip | DemoOn: what doesn't work? What is 'it'? | 12:09 |
| Firedog | DemoOn, you probably don't want to use generic drivers in the long run. | 12:09 |
| DemoOn | ActionParsnip: it hangs on splash screen, i see only violet screen, now i tried kubuntu and it's same | 12:10 |
| ActionParsnip | DemoOn: what GPU do you use? | 12:10 |
| DemoOn | ActionParsnip: radeon 6850 | 12:10 |
| ActionParsnip | DemoOn: try the boot option: nomodeset | 12:11 |
| DemoOn | ActionParsnip: where can i put it? | 12:11 |
| ActionParsnip | DemoOn: or the boot option: radeon.nomodeset=1 | 12:11 |

| Firedog | fortunately I installed windows 7 beta in my second partition (same size as first) this has since expired so I might use this space to try and hammer the latest ubuntu into some usable form. -pulse +window controls on right not left +compiz -unity | 12:13 |
| gmzlj | Firedog: -pulse simple isn't doable | 12:14 |
| gmzlj | even if its gnome 2 | 12:14 |
| gmzlj | and hasn't been for some time | 12:14 |
| Firedog | pulse is horrible | 12:14 |
| gmzlj | pulse is awesome. its just misunderstood | 12:14 |
| Firedog | I changed back to alsa because it works Pulse just made aweful noises | 12:14 |
| gmzlj | Firedog: turn of cpu schedualing in /etc/pulse/system.pa | 12:15 |
| gmzlj | but thats alsa's fault | 12:15 |
| gmzlj | 80% of audio problems in pulse are alsa's fault with less than stellar audio drivers | 12:16 |
| Firedog | With pulse; I thought it simply did not get along with my sound card. | 12:16 |
| norpan | How can i configure ubuntu to discover ALL my cores? I just discover ONE! im running i7 with ubuntu 11.10 and have to boot with "noapic nolapic" because it wont boot otherwise | 12:16 |
| gmzlj | pulseaudio uses cpu timers for audio, like mac's core audio or windows 7 subsystem | 12:16 |
| Firedog | The one reason I wanted a windows install was for good audio drivers. | 12:17 |
| gmzlj | its a modern approach thats more flexiable, allows for variable latency demands simotaneously, and uses less power | 12:17 |
| Firedog | norpan, it should automatically | 12:17 |
| norpan | Firedog: its not ;( | 12:17 |
| gmzlj | traditionally, sound card interupts where used | 12:17 |
| Firedog | norpan it's part of the kernel code | 12:17 |
| norpan | Firedog: well whats wrong then? :S | 12:18 |
| gmzlj | pulse, thus, uses a lot of alsa api that almost never gets used to get access to the raw audio buffers | 12:18 |
| gmzlj | and broken alsa drivers where and are problematic | 12:18 |
| gmzlj | but this feature atleast is configuratble | 12:18 |
| wolfric | my gnome config is screwed up since upgrading. the task bar is at the top of the screen under the bar with "applications + places". I tried deleting the gconf, gconfd compiz dirs and restarting but it didn't fix it.

| gmzlj | wolfric: screenshot? im confused | 12:20 |
| gmzlj | wolfric: delete .dconf too | 12:20 |
| Firedog | gmzlj, you sound like you know a lot about pulse. I am becoming convinced that it could be good. I did find the lack of hardware controls under pulse to be limiting. Alsamixer has more buttons and controllers than you can shake a sheikh at. | 12:20 |

| sburwood1 | Can I change an antenna on a USB wifi key and get better recepton?? | 12:21 |
| gmzlj | Firedog: that is true. those are there, kinda, its just a bit more complicated. and the default gnome-sound-panel doesn't expost everything. | 12:21 |
| gmzlj | typical gnome simplness | 12:21 |
| sburwood1 | I have a TP-LINK tl-wn722N | 12:21 |

| gmzlj | alt+right click | 12:27 |
| wolfric | gmzlj: good grief, why was that implemented? | 12:28 |

| gmzlj | sometimes it tricky finding a place where right click would give you the panel's right click menu | 12:30 |
| gmzlj | its an old gnome bug | 12:30 |
| Firedog | gmzlj: we need more mouse buttons, oh wait I found more | 12:30 |
| gmzlj | Firedog: middle click and mouse wheel work too! | 12:30 |
| Firedog | :) | 12:30 |
| gmzlj | middle click closes windows (iirc, that may be xfce) | 12:31 |
| gmzlj | but scroll wheel will cycle through them | 12:31 |
| Firedog | it does on the task bar which can be irritating if scrolling through a document and the mouse wanders over the task bar | 12:31 |
| wolfric | also, how do i remove the guest account | 12:31 |
| wolfric | i've tried to remove gdm-guest-session and it says it's not installed however if i do dpkg -l | grep guest.. it shows it installed | 12:32 |

| republic | tuxpaint + ubuntu is very suitable for children | 12:37 |
| ActionParsnip | wolfric: its the default login manager in oneiric | 12:37 |
| wolfric | ActionParsnip: google "ubuntu remove guest" both the forum and this link both say the package removal | 12:37 |
| wolfric | http://askubuntu.com/questions/28165/how-do-i-remove-the-guest-session-option-from-the-shutdown-menu | 12:38 |
| ActionParsnip | wolfric: too generic, you should specify the release in searches | 12:38 |
| mint | part | 12:38 |
| ActionParsnip | republic: enable the funky sounds too. good times | 12:38 |
| wolfric | ActionParsnip: so you can see why getting that from a websearch is sometimes not an easy task | 12:39 |
| ActionParsnip | wolfric: depends how you search, keep them simple but exact | 12:39 |
| ActionParsnip | wolfric: even: oneiric remove guest would have been better | 12:40 |
| wolfric | ActionParsnip: no, you need to pretty much know the answers or have seen the answers already. new user is never going to know they need to necessarily google the release version. If i get an answer without the release version, what would make me think it was incorrect | 12:41 |
| Firedog | It seems silly that there is no simple function to do what wolfric wanted to do that was already defined, as a script or whatever. | 12:42 |

| ActionParsnip | Firedog: sure, why not :) | 12:43 |
| ActionParsnip | famgod: one way is to copy (or symlink) the files in /usr/share/applications to the desktop | 12:43 |
| Firedog | I can give you my anecdotal experience of bing. its just a shame it's not better than it is in my opinion. | 12:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Firedog: try a few search engines and you'll get a lot of different results, which can help resolutions | 12:44 |
| Firedog | to be fair, bing is the only contender left so I hope they do well in the long run. No competition is a scary prospect | 12:44 |
| ActionParsnip | indeed | 12:45 |
| ActionParsnip | I use duckduckgo as it doesn't bubble you and you get unfiltered results, unlink google | 12:45 |
| ActionParsnip | *unlike | 12:45 |
| Firedog | unlink makes sense too :) | 12:45 |
| wolfric | Firedog: the only reason it's good is that it leeches searches from google ( google proved it). I'd hazzard a guess they may not be doing it any more but when they were, they harvested a good amount of results from google to get them started | 12:46 |
| Firedog | wolfric: if they were that good by using google then I wonder how they would have been without them :o | 12:47 |

| kamilnadeem | the effect is like when you drag windows to edges but In this case I am not doing any such thing http://i.imgur.com/bYNtt.jpg | 13:13 |
| ActionParsnip | luca_bi: its the options on tar to extract a gzipped tarball, file extensions in Linux mean near zero, so 'zxf file' is meaningless | 13:14 |
| luca_bi | rj11: tar zxf is not a universal command for each file .tar? | 13:14 |

| Kiranos | ActionParsnip: yea bit of a stretch though changing default window handler just because flashing icons doest work :) | 13:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Kiranos: depends how crucial it is | 13:25 |

| ubottu | networkmanager is an application to make (wireless) networking Just Work. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager | 13:51 |

| CraigMason | sattu94, tried running as sudo etc. No luck | 13:52 |
| llutz | bubu: so you haven't configured your network in /etc/network/interfaces (ifupdown). restart network-manager to restart network then | 13:53 |
| bogeyd6_ | !cli | 13:53 |
| ubottu | The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal or type in it: man intro | 13:53 |
| bubu | llutz, cool thanks that seemed to work. has that actually taken my interfaces down and back up again though or just restarted the network manager binary...? | 13:54 |
| Firedog | r4y: you killed whiptail, whiptail Displays user-friendly dialog boxes from shell scripts. Such as installing smartmontools :P hence my curses reference, sorry | 13:55 |

| norpan | How can i make my Ubuntu boot WITHOUT the bootparameters "noapic nolapic" because im only seeing one core when i use those.. | 14:07 |
| iceroot | norpan: press "shift" at boot and select the kernel you want to boot, press e to edit that line and remove what you want | 14:08 |
| axisys | iceroot: any other app besides k3b ? brassero may be? | 14:08 |
| iceroot | axisys: yes brassero should be the default one on ubuntu | 14:08 |
| yousifabdullah | nero 4 linux ftw :p | 14:08 |
| iceroot | axisys: just select "files" instead of "images" | 14:08 |
| Sidewinder1 | axisys, When you put in the blank CD, it should ask you.. Beassero should work.. | 14:08 |
| norpan | iceroot: yes thats how i got it to boot in the first place, by adding "noapic nolapic" as boot parameters. But it does not boot without those parameters and i feel strongly that this is causing me to only see 1 core in ubuntu | 14:08 |

| norpan | yousifabdullah: but i figured its not really good to run "noapic nolapic" as standard | 14:10 |

| jjgalvez__ | axisys: your compression should depend on how much compression was used to make the jpegs in the first place, since you really don't need much additional space you should not need to increase the compression by much | 14:14 |

| ubottu | Norwack: 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".

| gmzlj | phrik: disapprove is<reply>ಠ_ಠ | 14:19 |
| yeats | amit: try opening a terminal and typing 'nautilus' | 14:19 |
| Sidewinder1 | Norwack, Please see here for the different versions and how long they're supported: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_%28operating_system%29 | 14:19 |
| Sidewinder1 | Norwack, 10.04 is Gnome2; nut unity! | 14:19 |
| Sidewinder1 | not, even, but I guess they both work.. :-) | 14:20 |
| amit | yeats, it opens but when i open anything using dash or using any app it says the error | 14:20 |
| amit | When I try to open a folder using dash or applications it shows.. Failed to execute default File Manager. | 14:20 |
| yeats | amit: what have you changed? | 14:20 |
| Norwack | so where can i get 10.04? | 14:20 |
| xangua | from ubuntu.com Norwack | 14:20 |
| Nakou | so? for my nscd problem? | 14:20 |
| yeats | !10.04 | Norwack | 14:20 |
| ubottu | Norwack: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) was the twelfth release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1004 - Supported until April 2013 (Desktop), April 2015 (Server) | 14:20 |
| amit | yeats, in transmission I was trying to open a file directly there I typed nautilus.. the problem started from that | 14:21 |
| zak_ | I need to pass a parameter to the kernel at boot. How (where) do I enter this in 11.10 server? | 14:21 |
| dr_willis | amit: i recall the ubuntu-tweak (not officially supported) had a 'reset gnome settings' feature | 14:21 |
| Norwack | I Want to install that 10.04 beside windows | 14:21 |
| Sidewinder1 | Norwack, http://torrent.ubuntu.com/ Don't forget to Md5sum the ISO, prior to burning at the slowest speed. | 14:21 |
| dr_willis | zak_: the grub2 config files. /etc/default/grub | 14:22 |
| amit | dr_willis, ok trying that | 14:22 |
| llutz | zak_: edit /etc/default/grub , add your parameter and run update-grub | 14:22 |
| zak_ | dr_willis, llutz thanks! | 14:22 |
| Sidewinder1 | Norwack, Also have a look here for a step-by-step: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/index | 14:22 |
| Nakou | zak_: You can create a new file, the number on the title made the order of launch in the grub menu | 14:22 |
| Nakou | or editing | 14:22 |
| Nakou | see wat you need | 14:23 |
| Sidewinder1 | Norwack, But don't go anywhere near WUBI! | 14:23 |
| canterer | checking for tgetent in -lcurses... no | 14:23 |
| canterer | no terminal library found | 14:23 |
| canterer | checking for tgetent()... configure: error: NOT FOUND! | 14:23 |
| canterer | You need to install a terminal library; for example ncurses. | 14:23 |
| canterer | Or specify the name of the library with --with-tlib. | 14:23 |
| FloodBot1 | canterer: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 14:23 |
| canterer | make[1]: *** [config] 错误 1 | 14:23 |
| BluesKaj | Hey folks | 14:23 |
| Norwack | whats wrong with wubi? | 14:24 |
| jjgalvez__ | axisys: install imagemagic and give the command comvert <file.jpg> -quality 75 <newname.jpb> a try, you can play with the quality factor to see what gives you the best quality/size | 14:24 |
| Sidewinder1 | Norwack, What you're lookin' for is Dual Boot. | 14:24 |
| canterer | I am installing the vim | 14:24 |
| axisys | jjgalvez__: installed imagemagick.. let me try the command | 14:24 |
| canterer | but when I make | 14:24 |
| canterer | have the wrong | 14:24 |
| yeats | canterer: try 'sudo apt-get install vim' | 14:24 |
| jjgalvez__ | axisys: you can always write a quick shell script to grep through all the pictures if that gives you want you need | 14:25 |
| canterer | I have load the package | 14:25 |
| axisys | jjgalvez__: yep | 14:25 |
| amit | dr_willis, yeats still not working | 14:25 |
| Sidewinder1 | BluesKaj, Mornin'.! | 14:25 |

| canterer | and I ./configer | 14:25 |
| amit | Failed to execute child process "nautilius" (No such file or directory). | 14:25 |
| BluesKaj | hi Sidewinder1 | 14:25 |
| yeats | canterer: why are you building vim from source? | 14:26 |
| canterer | and when the step : make I do | 14:26 |
| Sidewinder1 | Norwack, Just ask BluesKaj about WUBI.. ;-) | 14:26 |
| norpan | Cant get my Ubuntu to boot without NOAPIC NOLAPIC bootparameters, why is that? What can i do? I only see 1 core in ubuntu aswell, im using a i7 quad! | 14:26 |
| canterer | I have a package of vim | 14:26 |
| like_summer | Firedog, i ear some ago | 14:26 |
| canterer | so I should install it | 14:26 |
| Sidewinder1 | BluesKaj, Don't you just love how I volunteer your help? :p | 14:26 |
| norpan | amit: nautilius? whats that? | 14:26 |
| yeats | canterer: I don't understand - is there a reason you're installing vim from source rather than just installing the repo version? | 14:26 |
| canterer | unzip ---> ./configure ---> make | 14:27 |
| amit | mistyped!\ | 14:27 |
| amit | how can I correct that? | 14:27 |
| BluesKaj | Sidewinder1, yeah :) | 14:27 |
| canterer | yeats : not the repo version | 14:27 |
| jjgalvez__ | norpan: laptop or desktop, I had an older dell that did the same thing, not that I have any real insight into the problem | 14:27 |
| like_summer | Firedog, why did you thank me | 14:27 |
| Norwack | omg | 14:27 |
| BluesKaj | Norwack, first time ubuntu user ? | 14:27 |
| norpan | jjgalvez__: im using a desktop! | 14:27 |
| Norwack | im outta here | 14:27 |
| Sidewinder1 | BluesKaj, A guy's gotta' have some fun.. :) | 14:27 |
| yeats | canterer: I'll ask again... why are you not using the repo version? | 14:28 |
| canterer | ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/unix/vim-7.3.tar.bz2 | 14:28 |
| canterer | yeats : I want to improv the vim | 14:28 |
| jjgalvez__ | norpan: have you tried changing the power settings in your bios? | 14:28 |
| like_summer | blue_bomber, yes i am new | 14:28 |
| norpan | jjgalvez__: i have, but i cant really find anything usefull in there, i cant find anything that has the name APIC in it for example | 14:29 |
| norpan | jjgalvez__: Other then that i dont know what to look for | 14:29 |
| canterer | yeats: so I can have a envirment that can siut to my develop | 14:29 |
| Sidewinder1 | BluesKaj, He wants to dual boot with 10.04, doesn't care for unity; imagine that.. | 14:29 |
| Sidewinder1 | Norwack, Goog Luck! | 14:30 |
| like_summer | it's 22:30 now . | 14:30 |
| BluesKaj | Norwack, what about clasic gnome | 14:30 |
| Sidewinder1 | Good, even.. | 14:30 |
| like_summer | will you sleep now / | 14:30 |
| norpan | jjgalvez__: and as far as i know, isnt acpi power management? its booting when i disable the APIC, wich i dont really know that it does hah | 14:30 |
| norpan | jjgalvez__: what* it dies | 14:30 |
| norpan | DOES* | 14:30 |
| * like_summer 跳一下 | 14:31 | |
| jjgalvez__ | norpan: yes APIC is power managment | 14:31 |
| Norwack | I Have used ubuntu many times, but doesnt like the new fuckin layout, lol | 14:31 |
| Norwack | and i want debian, but aint on my own internet for a few months | 14:31 |
| amit | help anyone!! | 14:31 |

| norpan | jjgalvez__: oh, both acpi and apic is power management? i didnt know that | 14:31 |

| Laurenceb | hi | 14:32 |
| Sidewinder1 | !language > Now | 14:32 |
| Firedog | norpan: still no luck with the multi-core CPU? | 14:32 |
| aegisx | This isn't an Ubuntu specific question, but is there a way to hide connection / disconnection notifications permanently? | 14:32 |
| norpan | Firedog: no :( | 14:32 |
| Laurenceb | how much data does reads only drive benchmarking exchange? | 14:32 |
| Nakou | On the rc#.d/, the process with a letter like "K20-process" were killed at this state? | 14:32 |
| jjgalvez__ | amit: have you installed or removed any packages recently? because it looks like you don't have nautilus, on your system. try running it from a terminal | 14:32 |
| Sidewinder1 | !language > Norwack | 14:32 |
| ubottu | Norwack, please see my private message | 14:32 |
| BluesKaj | Norwack, you'll just have to make upyour own mind what you want to do. I use KDE myself | 14:32 |
| Firedog | norpan: what are you using to discern if it is working on one core or more? | 14:32 |
| norpan | Firedog: some cpuinfo command and the regular systemmonitor | 14:33 |
| amit | jigalvez_, I do have nauilus.. I typed buy accident nauilius in transmission while oopening a file | 14:33 |
| Firedog | norpan: so you are in the desktop and see only one graph for cpu cores right? | 14:33 |
| norpan | Firedog: pm me instead, its an ocean of messages here and i check now and then..im cleaing my appartment :P | 14:33 |
| Norwack | wow, this sucks. On another IRC they learn people to use the word "Fu**"..But its a irc for cool people tho | 14:33 |
| Sidewinder1 | BluesKaj, I already suggested 10.04; he could also use 11.04 with classic. | 14:34 |
| norpan | Firedog: yes and in cpuinfo i only see one core aswell | 14:34 |
| jjgalvez__ | amit: Oh so do you still have tranmission running? | 14:35 |
| amit | yeah | 14:35 |
| BluesKaj | Sidewinder1, he doesn't have any real problems IMO , he's just not sure what to do | 14:35 |
| Nakou | On the rc#.d/, the process with a letter like "K20-process" were killed at this state? | 14:35 |
| newb | Helo all! I've updated my Oneiric system and My Gnome 3.2 stopped working with Mutter. My /etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsafe has fbdev how driver. I've changed to intel but do not worked yet. I think my XOrg disabled the correct support. Somebody can Help me with this? My PC is an ASUS EEEPC 1005-HA netbook. | 14:35 |
| jjgalvez__ | amit: or rather is it still trying to serve nautilus ? I would try shutting tansmission down | 14:35 |
| amit | jjgalvez__, closing it did nothing | 14:36 |
| Laurenceb | im getting a too slow to benchmark error | 14:36 |
| amit | perhaps transmission set it as default or somethng | 14:36 |
| Laurenceb | is there a command line benchmark tool? | 14:36 |
| jjgalvez__ | amit: not sure what you mean? | 14:36 |
| Sidewinder1 | BluesKaj, No, no problems; his original question was could he download Hardy 'caise he didn't like unity; that's when I suggested Lucid. :-) | 14:36 |
| Sidewinder1 | 'cause, even. | 14:37 |
| * BluesKaj has to bone up on gnome desktop options | 14:38 | |
| yeats | canterer: vim from source will behave the same as vim from the repos... customizing happens in /etc/vim/vimrc (system-wide) or ~/.bashrc for just your user | 14:38 |
| * Sidewinder1 coffe. | 14:38 | |
| dr_willis | ~/.vimrc | 14:39 |
| yeats | canterer: if you're committed to building from source, I would do 'sudo apt-get build-dep vim' before continuing | 14:39 |
| yeats | dr_willis: right - typo | 14:39 |
| yeats | canterer: yes - I meant ~/.vimrc | 14:39 |

| pw-toxic | hi, i'm missing workspaces on gnome3 on ubuntu ;( | 14:44 |
| pw-toxic | how can i reactivate it? | 14:44 |
| tarzeau | pw-toxic: you can use any other window manager? | 14:44 |
| tarzeau | windowmaker has workspaces | 14:44 |
| pw-toxic | tarzeau, gnome has none anymore? | 14:44 |
| tarzeau | i don't know. you really mean gnome3 or unity or gnome2? | 14:45 |
| pw-toxic | i just did "apt-get install gnome" and chose "gnome" on startup | 14:45 |
| BluesKaj | !classic| Norwack | 14:45 |
| ubottu | Norwack: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". For 11.10, see !notunity | 14:45 |
| pw-toxic | so i guess i have gnome3 | 14:45 |
| pw-toxic | i do not like unity | 14:45 |
| tarzeau | i also have a problem that unity is horribly slow, even with correct nvidia drivers. and with two monitors it's slower and with 3 monitors very very slow, 4 monitors so slow you can't work | 14:45 |
| pw-toxic | there is no "connect to" application ;) | 14:45 |
| ActionParsnip | pw-toxic: what do you want to connect to? | 14:46 |
| tarzeau | pw-toxic: neither do i. but then i don't like gnome either. and not kde | 14:46 |
| pw-toxic | ActionParsnip, anything.. ftp ssh windows share.. just anything | 14:46 |
| tarzeau | pw-toxic: i'm glad when i get a terminal | 14:46 |
| ActionParsnip | pw-toxic: its part of nautilus.. | 14:46 |
| pw-toxic | tarzeau, a terminal is nice, but not for every task ;) | 14:46 |
| tarzeau | pw-toxic: you want a mac or windows then. the connect to stuff never worked for me on linux | 14:46 |
| ActionParsnip | pw-toxic: under the file menu | 14:46 |
| tarzeau | pw-toxic: i don't see an alternative on linux. no nautilus is plain junk | 14:47 |
| tarzeau | consier having nfs drives, and say 10000 files. it's unusable | 14:47 |
| pw-toxic | whatever ... im looking for workspaces ;) | 14:47 |
| tarzeau | hekc it's even unusable with only 1000 files | 14:47 |
| pw-toxic | does gnome3 have no workspaces anymore? i think i would have read about it | 14:47 |
| tarzeau | and here we have users with 1000000 files | 14:47 |
| tarzeau | (one user) | 14:47 |
| ActionParsnip | pw-toxic: sure, you control how many in ccsm if you use unity (not 2d) | 14:47 |
| pw-toxic | ActionParsnip, ah i forgot.. i have ccsm | 14:48 |
| ActionParsnip | tarzeau: try pcmanfm, rox, dolphin, thunar or one of the MANY file managers... | 14:48 |
| tarzeau | ActionParsnip: oh i know them, i tried them. i didn't like them | 14:48 |
| ActionParsnip | tarzeau: if they work though yuo may have to | 14:48 |
| tarzeau | ActionParsnip: all of them are slow, clumsy, and file open dialogs in gtk1, 2 and 3 are wrong bad and broken | 14:49 |
| BluesKaj | ActionParsnip, think we have a troll | 14:49 |
| tarzeau | ActionParsnip: i'm perfectly fine with a terminal, thank you | 14:49 |
| pw-toxic | ActionParsnip, i have enabled Desktop wall in ccsm but it doesnt work ;/ | 14:49 |
| pw-toxic | ActionParsnip, i relog with unit and try it there | 14:50 |
| Firedog | norpan: are you getting my pm? | 14:51 |
| ActionParsnip | tarzeau: thats another option :) | 14:51 |
| tarzeau | ActionParsnip: the only, imho | 14:51 |
| ActionParsnip | pw-toxic: there is a key to show all the desktops and you can drag windows between easily | 14:51 |
| ActionParsnip | pw-toxic: I only use one desktop so am not sure what it is but I'm sure it exists | 14:52 |
| Firedog | ActionParsnip: sounds like a mac thing, was it MOD-E | 14:52 |
| Firedog | no, can't drag windows with Mod-E or Winkey-E | 14:53 |
| Firedog | but you can with compiz cube | 14:54 |
| ActionParsnip | pw-toxic: it's called expo, and as Firedog stated it's SuperL+E | 14:54 |
| === max is now known as Guest81963 | ||
| pw-toxic | hmm moving workspaces works on unity ;/ | 14:55 |
| pw-toxic | bt i want gnome ;( | 14:55 |
| ActionParsnip | pw-toxic: you are using gnome | 14:55 |
| Firedog | dont we all | 14:55 |
| pw-toxic | ActionParsnip, yes i am | 14:55 |
| ActionParsnip | pw-toxic: unity is only a shell | 14:55 |
| flexd | Argh, what do I need to check if norwegian characters work fine as root but as a normal user it fails (I just get ???) characters. | 14:55 |
| pw-toxic | ActionParsnip, whatever.. i chose gnome an logon and i want worksapces ;) | 14:55 |
| flexd | locale is set to en_US.UTF-8 on both users | 14:56 |
| pw-toxic | ActionParsnip, workspaces is the most reason why i use ubuntu ;) | 14:56 |
| ActionParsnip | pw-toxic: you can use the expos plugin to show them | 14:56 |
| ActionParsnip | pw-toxic: you can get equivelant functionality in windows | 14:56 |
| dr_willis | unity has workspaces.. actually ive seen tools for windows to give it workspaces... | 14:56 |
| Firedog | pw-toxic: workspaces are a function of desktop not OS so GNOME, KDE, XFCE all support them | 14:56 |
| dr_willis | :) | 14:56 |
| dr_willis | Does OS-X have workspaces? | 14:57 |
| pw-toxic | Firedog, why does it then work on unity but not gnome? | 14:57 |
| Firedog | dr_willis: I beleive so | 14:57 |
| pw-toxic | Firedog, when i logon with gnome, my keyboard shortcuts "alt+q" and "alt+e" dont work to switch left and right | 14:57 |
| dr_willis | The Cube thang has issues with unity i belive.. best to just stop using teh cube. | 14:57 |
| norpan | Firedog: i was doing some dishes, im sorry if i missed you. did not mean to be disrespectful :) | 14:58 |
| ActionParsnip | do people still use the cube plugin...wow | 14:58 |
| Firedog | dr_willis: I love the cube so much I am stuck with gnome :P | 14:58 |
| dr_willis | I never saw the point in the cube... | 14:58 |
| dr_willis | get over it Firedog . :P | 14:58 |
| dr_willis | cube. the kind of thing you enable to show off.. then disable when your windows using friends leave. | 14:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Firedog: I believe kde has desktop cube stuff too | 14:59 |
| republic | good evening anyone! happy chatting!!! | 14:59 |
| norpan | republic: haha good evening to you to :P | 14:59 |

| gxoptg | mahdi1364, ubuntu 3d is based on Compis :) try to load Unity 2d | 15:10 |
| mahdi1364 | how do I do that? | 15:10 |
| mahdi1364 | I'm new to ubuntu | 15:10 |
| Pici | homegrown: Because we don't upgrade packages unless they are security fixes once an Ubuntu release has been finished. | 15:10 |
| ActionParsnip | mahdi1364: its an option when you log in | 15:11 |
| dr_willis | why would you uninstall compiz when you are new to the whole os? | 15:11 |
| Pici | homegrown: And I don't see 1.7 even in debian yet or the in-development release of Ubuntu. You could try looking for a PPA if you really need it though. | 15:11 |
| blognewb | hi everyone, i wanted to buy my mom an ubuntu laptop, can you guys suggest one that is worth around $300-$400? preferably with at least an i3? | 15:11 |

| Firedog | dr_willis: only I keep the cube there because it still makes me smile, and I can sneak a look at whats going on on other desktops before switching as they are live updated | 15:19 |
| Firedog | only the taskbar is not updated | 15:20 |
| vikashrokk | but then it will not support other oses which run with it like lubuntu and xcfe | 15:20 |
| dr_willis | the whole desktop idea has sort of been getting revamped in gnome shell and unity. | 15:20 |

| vikashrokk | hi | 15:28 |
| chad-tara | hello | 15:28 |
| vikashrokk | wad up remote ctrl | 15:28 |
| remoteCTRL | i got these ugly graphic artefacts when trying to use gnome3 can you pls tell me how to fix this? | 15:28 |
| chad-tara | Ive got a question about my bootloader options if anyone can help. im pretty new to linux... :( | 15:28 |
| ActionParsnip | remoteCTRL: are you using any shells? | 15:29 |
| remoteCTRL | the fonts in the "menu bar" are completely distorted... | 15:29 |
| ActionParsnip | chad-tara: shoot | 15:29 |
| remoteCTRL | ActionParsnip: erm... gnome-sehll? | 15:29 |
| remoteCTRL | i hope? | 15:29 |
| remoteCTRL | ActionParsnip: good to see you btw, hope all is fine? | 15:29 |
| cari_veri_ud | hello, ubuntu 11.10 xorg.conf is very thin. almost no settings made in there. problem: secondary screen not detectable. what can I do? | 15:29 |
| ActionParsnip | remoteCTRL: looks like this? http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/Screenshots | 15:30 |
| ActionParsnip | remoteCTRL: not bad, chillin at work | 15:30 |
| chad-tara | I have both 32 bit and 64 but 11.10 installed on my system. when I start up there are about 8 options to boot from. I know I shouldnt boot into recovery but which option is 64 and witch is 32? | 15:30 |
| chad-tara | is it the 3.0.0.12 or 3.0.0.13 or the PAE? | 15:30 |
| remoteCTRL | ActionParsnip: i guess that is what it should look like, in my case i have the purple background, looking nomral and then the bar with the "action", clock, etc is grey instead of black and everything in it is totally distorted | 15:31 |
| linda_ | chad-tara: I don't there's a difference other than kernel versions. (Someone correct me if wrong.) | 15:31 |
| ActionParsnip | remoteCTRL: what if you press ALT+F2 and run: gnome-shell --replace | 15:32 |
| linda_ | chad-tara: Oh, well, you have a dual boot system? | 15:32 |
| linda_ | Is that correct? | 15:32 |
| chad-tara | \yeah | 15:32 |
| Firedog | remoteCTRL: I saw a car once and thought it had been in an accident, turns out that was the way it was "designed" to look | 15:33 |
| chad-tara | I installed both 64bit and 32 bit versions | 15:33 |
| tamayo | hola | 15:33 |
| imbezol | bonjour | 15:33 |
| chad-tara | which kernel comes with what relese? i never installed a custom kernel | 15:33 |
| linda_ | chad-tara: We would have to see the exact names of the 8 options before we can tell anything about it. | 15:34 |
| chad-tara | ubuntu 3.0.0.12 (both normal and recovery) | 15:35 |
| chad-tara | ubuntu 3.0.0.12 (both normal and recovery) | 15:35 |
| chad-tara | i mean *.13 | 15:35 |
| linda_ | chad-tara: Or someone that has a stock 64bit system may be able to give you their kernel version, but may very well be that the version numbers are same. | 15:35 |
| chad-tara | and then the two PEA options | 15:36 |
| chad-tara | *PAE | 15:36 |
| fm__ | PAE is 32 bit | 15:36 |
| chad-tara | i figured that out. thats the server kernel that lets me use all 4 gigs or ram? | 15:37 |
| remoteCTRL | ActionParsnip: erm... looking even worse now | 15:37 |
| cygnusnsf | Hi, all any body aware of install instructions for a EPSON SX435W Printer on UBUNTU 10.04 LTS? I can see the printer but just only ever finds a sx415 driver and does not work properly | 15:37 |
| goshawk | hi | 15:37 |
| remoteCTRL | and the worst thing about is; this is definitely NOT the first device that does that to me! | 15:37 |
| linda_ | chad-tara: They will all lst you use all 4G of RAM | 15:37 |
| goshawk | i can't connect to facebook via empathy, does anyone have the same problem? | 15:38 |
| remoteCTRL | ActionParsnip: btw alt+f2 doenst work at all... | 15:38 |
| remoteCTRL | goshawk: be happy about it! | 15:38 |
| chad-tara | is it better for me to just install the 64 bit version? I dont use alot of apps. mostly internet movies and music | 15:38 |

| Norwack | join #UbuntuPorn | 15:39 |
| Firedog | chad-tara: in linux chose 64 bit if you have a 64 bit CPU | 15:39 |
| linda_ | chad-tara: YOu dreally didn't need to install 32bit version alongside the 64bit version. All you need to do is install 32bit libs on the 64bit version and you can run all the 32bit apps you want. | 15:39 |
| chad-tara | any downside to running 32 bit on 64 bit system? Am I wasting resources | 15:40 |
| mao | I set the CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV "converse" when compile the kernel,but after I boot the ubuntu,the cpu freq default govener becomes "ondemand", and i cannont find which process change it | 15:40 |
| cipherboy | norwack you need more peoples | 15:40 |
| mao | Anyone knows why? | 15:40 |
| Firedog | chad-tara: yes, 64 bit performs better on 64 bit CPU | 15:40 |
| cipherboy | Firedog can 64bit even run on 32 bit processor? | 15:40 |
| chad-tara | thanks... gonna just start fresh and install only the 64 bit | 15:41 |
| Firedog | cipherboy: no 64 bit will not run on 32 bit CPU | 15:41 |
| linda_ | chad-tara: I think the command is apt-get install ia32-libs | 15:42 |
| chad-tara | thanks (: | 15:42 |
| Firedog | but 32 bit will run on 64 bit CPU which is the converse to my argument, not the other-way-round | 15:42 |
| dr_willis | i basically only use 64bit os on my 64bit hardware these days | 15:42 |
| frankperez87 | Has anyone installed uplink on ubuntu 11.10 using the .sh file | 15:42 |
| remoteCTRL | ActionParsnip: phunny thing is: at the login screen all looks perfectly normal but as soon as i am logged in all looks broken | 15:42 |
| chad-tara | so everyone agrees I will get a bit better performance from my machine if I give up the 32bit and just use the 64 bit? | 15:42 |
| Firedog | dr_willis: is right, there is no need for 32 bit except in windows | 15:43 |
| dr_willis | use 64bit os on 64bit hardware.... | 15:43 |
| Firedog | ^^ what he said | 15:43 |
| chad-tara | thanks guys! you're all AWESOME | 15:43 |
| linda_ | chad-tara: YOu don't have to start over, just use the 64bit | 15:43 |
| chad-tara | I feel so lost. I havent used Linux since Dapper Drake | 15:43 |
| Firedog | ahh dapper drake :P | 15:44 |
| chad-tara | anyway to just erase the 32 bit system? | 15:44 |
| dr_willis | delete the partitions :) | 15:44 |
| Firedog | install windows?? | 15:44 |
| Firedog | joking | 15:44 |
| chad-tara | thats it? cool. then reformat? | 15:44 |
| linda_ | chad-tara: You can use a partition manager to delete or shrink the 32bit partition(s). | 15:45 |
| chad-tara | I just left windows cause it was freezing ALL THE TIME | 15:45 |
| bekks | chad-tara: "man rm" | 15:45 |
| chad-tara | thanks linda | 15:45 |
| linda_ | I didn't know windows was that cold.... | 15:45 |
| chad-tara | super cold... | 15:45 |
| Firedog | chad-tara: what linda says about partition manager, may save you some time | 15:45 |
| mahdi1364 | hi | 15:45 |
| mahdi1364 | i'm back again | 15:46 |
| chad-tara | always f****d me and never smiled... | 15:46 |
| linda_ | chad-tara: Which did you install first? 64bit or 32bit? | 15:46 |
| chad-tara | 32 bit... | 15:46 |
| mahdi1364 | I just wanted to thank u for ur help | 15:46 |
| mahdi1364 | can I ask one more question? | 15:46 |
| chad-tara | cause its "recommended" on the website :/ | 15:46 |
| oCean | chad-tara: please mind your language. If you have to obfuscate your words, then don't use them. | 15:47 |
| chad-tara | k. i didnt know a more appropriate word | 15:47 |
| linda_ | chad-tara: I would just shrink the 32bit partition(s) down to just a few megabytes. | 15:47 |
| xorrbit | is there a way to allow a user to configure network interfaces, ie run ifconfig and ip commands, without sudo-ing them? | 15:47 |
| greves | hello - I've just bought a new computer and will install windows 7 on it, but i'd like to dual boot ubuntu. i have a 1GB drive and will MAINLY use windows 7, what would be a good partition scheme for me? | 15:47 |
| Firedog | chad-tara: the website reccommends it becasue 32 bit will work on 64 bit and 32 bit Hardware, 64 bit will only work on 64 bit hardware and above? presuming there is one | 15:47 |
| linda_ | chad-tara: That way, you don't have to change the partitioning IDs on your 64bit system. | 15:48 |
| Firedog | and here's the smile :) | 15:48 |
| cygnusnsf | chad-tara maybe a alternate word could be windows "gated" you????? | 15:48 |
| ActionParsnip | mahdi1364: ask away, no need to ask | 15:48 |
| mahdi1364 | ok | 15:48 |
| mahdi1364 | look | 15:49 |
| mahdi1364 | I've got a HSPAData Card USB modem | 15:49 |
| linda_ | mahdi1364: What ActionParsnip is trying to say is, don't ask to ask, just ask. | 15:49 |
| mahdi1364 | is there an application so that I can send and recieve call and sms in ubuntu? | 15:50 |
| greves | anyone have any suggestions? is it easy enough to just use win7 partition as most of the drive and then any big files i'm downloading in ubuntu to save&run from windows partition? | 15:50 |
| linda_ | mahdi1364: sms is just email. | 15:50 |

| linda_ | mahdi1364: but I don't know what you mean about "send and receive call" | 15:51 |
| === ameer is now known as wisevoyager | ||
| Firedog | linda_: is sms just email? I thought it was Short Messaging Service used by cellular networks to mobile devices under the GSM suite of protocols | 15:52 |
| linda_ | mahdi1364: Are you talking about VOIP? If so, skype, for instance, will call and receive calls and send SMS to cell phones. (But again, any email client can send sms txt to cell phones.) | 15:52 |
| mahdi1364 | I've got gammu but it only recognizes phones not my HSPAData card | 15:52 |

| broglin | i'm having trouble getting my ethernet card to work properly. currently ping drops lots of packets. It's a realtek rtl8111/8168b on the motherboard and I have changed the driver to the realtek on, but that didn't help | 15:52 |
| broglin | any ideas on what to try? | 15:53 |
| broglin | the main problem is that it's very very very slow at the moment | 15:53 |
| Firedog | broglin: there is a chance that the "card" is broken | 15:53 |
| broglin | Firedog: true | 15:53 |
| Firedog | broglin: I had the same issue with a 3com card and replaced it like for like and the new one worked | 15:54 |
| broglin | Firedog: i'm not sure how i'd test that though... | 15:54 |
| mahdi1364 | I'm a bit confused | 15:54 |
| Firedog | it would work but lots of dropouts | 15:54 |
| ActionParsnip | mahdi1364: how does it connect to the system? | 15:54 |
| mahdi1364 | Action Parsnip:by USB | 15:54 |
| ActionParsnip | broglin: try disabling ipv6 if you don't use it, also try a different cable | 15:54 |
| Firedog | broglin: boot another OS which should work like windows, does it work there? | 15:55 |
| mahdi1364 | Ita a 3g usb modem | 15:55 |
| ActionParsnip | mahdi1364: then run: lsusb one line will identify the device and you can use the 8 character hex ID to find guides | 15:55 |

| peteslaptop | I extracted the files to look for the .ppd file that it seems to be asking for.. no good either | 16:15 |
| Firedog | broglin: if it is a quirk you could add your sudo lightdm restart to the user startup scripts | 16:16 |

| peteslaptop | Menu on the upper right corner. My computer sees my printer, no driver to install | 16:17 |
| Firedog | zjhui: then I would propose using dpkg downgrade on core system packages, this should cause a chain reaction | 16:17 |
| Firedog | zjhui: but it might just break | 16:17 |
| jrib | peteslaptop: is the printer connected directly to the computer or is it on the network? | 16:18 |

| Sidewinder1 | zjhui, As stated above, back-up all essential data files, then, the simplest method, IMHO, would be to fresh install the version of your choice; "downgrading" is beyond problematic; again, IMHO.. Good luck! | 16:19 |

| Firedog | odd, I have an 8GB swap partition, I once used it all up too and crashed :( that's because wireshark is not optimised well to extract multi GB streams from captured packet data | 16:33 |
| bekks | Firedog: Erm, define "not well optimized" - if you have a source file and you want to associate zillion of content snippets with each other, you need at least the size of the "multi-gigabyte data stream" as additional space. | 16:35 |
| bekks | You cannot optimize something at that point. | 16:35 |
| cbird | bfri: found the following: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/HDMI | 16:36 |
| Firedog | bekks: that the source file is on disk and the target was also disk so wireshark tried to load it all to ram and then keep the new copy in ram until done then write to disk instead of filtering and writing on the fly. | 16:36 |
| bekks | Firedog: As I said, thats not possible... | 16:36 |
| cbird | bfri: has a couple of commands that can check whether the hdmi is picking anything up | 16:37 |
| Firedog | bekks: it was a single upd stream so not jumping here and their with the snippets | 16:37 |
| bekks | Firedog: "a single data stream" does not necessarily mean that all containing data is in some sort of order already. | 16:37 |

| bekks | cipherboy: For converting a pdf into text - no. | 17:20 |

| bekks | soreau: Thats a simple pdf viewing component. And did you try that with scanned text already? | 17:22 |
| llutz | luca_bi: cuneiform, tessaract | 17:22 |
| soreau | bekks: yes, that's why I said pdf image doc | 17:22 |

| luca_bi | is it sufficient to convert a pdf in a doc? | 17:23 |
| pikaciu | luca_bi: let's find out :) | 17:23 |
| soreau | Northwoods: yes | 17:24 |
| luca_bi | cuneiform, tessaract? | 17:24 |
| luca_bi | what are they? | 17:24 |
| llutz | luca_bi: linuc ocr-soft | 17:24 |
| llutz | linux | 17:24 |
| luca_bi | I'm installing cuneiform | 17:25 |
| luca_bi | do you need also tessaract? | 17:25 |
| mezod | how can i stop having to put my password every time the comp hibernates? | 17:26 |
| Northwoods | soreau: what does exactly writing zeros to disk mean ? | 17:26 |
| bekks | luca_bi: Just try the three apps. | 17:26 |
| luca_bi | Is there a gui? | 17:26 |
| soreau | Northwoods: hard drives have binary units that are written to magnetically with representations of 0's or 1's | 17:26 |
| Northwoods | soreau: i see | 17:27 |
| bekks | luca_bi: If you start the apps, you will see wether there is a gui ;) | 17:27 |
| soreau | Northwoods: To write all 0's means to fill all units with 0's which effectively erases it because it's meaningless data | 17:27 |
| Northwoods | soreau: will it help me getting around bad sectors ? | 17:27 |
| luca_bi | bekks: have you ever use it? | 17:27 |
| ActionParsnip | mezod: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc | 17:27 |
| jxm | why is in my synaptic greyed <force version>? | 17:28 |
| soreau | Northwoods: No. Bad sectors are portions that have units that are damaged, so they can't be written to and read from properly | 17:28 |
| bekks | luca_bi: Yes. | 17:28 |
| soreau | Northwoods: Some drives have automatic bad sector handling but it largely depends on the specific device | 17:28 |
| luca_bi | How do you use it? | 17:28 |
| luca_bi | Are there commands? | 17:28 |
| Northwoods | soreau: how can i check/look for bad sectors ? | 17:29 |
| bekks | luca_bi: You know the names of the applications you just installed. | 17:30 |
| soreau | Northwoods: Not exactly sure, I (or you) would have to do some research (a good place to start is google) | 17:30 |

| ActionParsnip | guidov: its as simple as I can put it, do you have a desktop based OS or a server one (command line only)? | 17:40 |
| guidov | yes I have plain Ubuntu, with desktop | 17:40 |
| BluesKaj | soreau, some ubuntu users looking to kdes asan alternative aren't instaling kubuntu-desktop which causes problems due to the incomplete info about installing kde | 17:40 |

| jordanjhoell | I no speak Ingles | 18:00 |
| escott | Shwaiil, optimus is a combination of the card and the cpu, check bumblebee or vgaswitcheroo projects. (one supports nvidia the other ati I cant remember which is which) | 18:01 |
| jeaton | not a ubuntu question, but I formated my mp3 to low level and it wiped out the software and everything on it so it's pretty useless right now; however, I have another mpl3 player identical to it | 18:01 |

| guigouz | markkkz: did you check /boot for kernel config files ? | 18:17 |
| nmvictor | I am trying to compile tomboy-todo addin/plugin and i get the error error CS0246: The type or namespace name `Gtk' could not be found. Are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?] , anyone know a quick fix to this? | 18:17 |
| markkkz | guigouz: I have not downloaded the source yet. Soon. My connection right now is slow soI'll do it later. But is that a yes or no? | 18:18 |
| markkkz | guigouz: Where can Iget a list of all the settings for a particular Ubuntu kernel. I'm using 2.6.38-12-generic right now on x64. Do you know? :) | 18:19 |
| guigouz | markkkz: I don't have an ubuntu box right now, but open a terminal and type "ls /boot", the config files for the current kernel should be there | 18:20 |
| guigouz | markkkz: there's also a possibility that /proc/config.gz exists, if it does, that's the current kernel config | 18:20 |
| === Plinker_ is now known as Plinker | ||
| markkkz | guigouz: ahh yes I see it. how could I have missed this. lol :) thanks | 18:21 |
| guigouz | markkkz: just copy them over to the kernel source dir, named as ".config" | 18:21 |
| markkkz | guigouz: ok so what you suggest, when i do "make menuconfig" does this default to the current setting or I'll have to check/uncheck everything? there ar eonly a couple of settings I want to change so I don't want to re-do the whole thing. Right? | 18:22 |
| Ruudjah | I have about 10 WAN connections here. Is there a way to use multiple simultaneously? | 18:22 |
| guigouz | markkkz: copy /boot/config-x.x.x to /usr/src/linux-y-y-y-y/.config | 18:23 |
| escott | Ruudjah, http://chris.olstrom.com/howto/setup-dual-wan/ | 18:23 |
| Ruudjah | e.g. 1 for torrents, 1 for gaming, 1 for http traffic? | 18:23 |
| guigouz | markkkz: when you make menuconfig, the options will be already selected | 18:23 |
| === Zahrada is now known as Zahradaway | ||
| guigouz | markkkz: i guess there should be a "ubuntu way" of doing this, you should look into that if you wish to create a deb file of your own kernel for redistribution | 18:24 |
| markkkz | guigouz: Excellent! :) bunch of thanks. One more thing. Got an estimate how long it will take for the recopile? This is on an i5 2410M 8GB machine. | 18:25 |
| Ruudjah | its not doable with a single hardware eth, right? my wans are all wifi, so I guess id need multi wifi adapters (usb with a hub?) | 18:25 |
| guigouz | markkkz: never compiled a kernel on such machine, but I bet much less than 10 minutes | 18:25 |
| markkkz | guigouz: Well I just want to experiment. I'd like to do it on launchpad or something. I hear it's free and I don't have to recompile on my machine. But don't reall yknow how that works as of now. | 18:25 |
| markkkz | guigouz: .... so I'm going to compile on this machine and see if this works. | 18:26 |
| guigouz | markkkz: what are you tweaking ? | 18:27 |
| Ruudjah | (tnx escott) | 18:27 |
| markkkz | guigouz: Don't ask. It's really stupid and I'm going to get embarrassed saying it over here. =D | 18:27 |
| Doodie | hi, how do I increase the size of my FileSystem partition in ubuntu? | 18:27 |
| guigouz | ok, i understand some people have a fetish for kernel tweaks | 18:28 |
| escott | Doodie, boot the livecd and use gparted to resize | 18:28 |
| Doodie | escott, thanks | 18:28 |
| markkkz | guigouz: I have to read up on this particular setting anyway. So I have no idea right now if it'll work or not. But I just wanted to get the settings for the kernel set before I attempt over the weekend. :D | 18:29 |
| lazyuser | exit | 18:30 |
| guigouz | markkkz: there's a kernel-howto also | 18:30 |
| thegreyspot | Hi! I just installed my new ubuntu on my new computer. HP Pavilion dv4. THe wifi card works when i first turn on the computer, and then it disconnects and the password prompt appears.. I am using wep on the router | 18:31 |
| thegreyspot | I have broadcom drivers installed, they were preinstalled i guess | 18:31 |
| thegreyspot | Once it disconnects it doesnt come back either, Not sure what to do. I am a noob to Ubuntu | 18:33 |
| marw | how log out by using console in ubuntu 11? gnome-session-save --logout does not workl | 18:34 |
| pikaciu | thegreyspot: the wireless led is on ? | 18:34 |
| markkkz | guigouz: Does kernel decompression output mean everything it spits out during the boot process until it comes to a login prompt? | 18:34 |
| markkkz | guigouz: regardless of what init level | 18:34 |
| pikaciu | thegreyspot: blue i mean | 18:34 |
| thegreyspot | Pikaciu yep | 18:35 |
| thegreyspot | blue? | 18:35 |
| thegreyspot | its orange | 18:35 |
| thegreyspot | its always orange | 18:35 |
| guigouz | markkkz: if you remove the "quiet" parameter from the kernel command line (on grub) you get the kernel boot info that runs before init | 18:35 |
| guigouz | markkkz: after that ends, init takes over | 18:35 |
| pikaciu | thegreyspot: on my hp dv6 is blue | 18:35 |
| thegreyspot | hmmm | 18:35 |
| thegreyspot | Im pretty sure its orange in windows too | 18:35 |
| markkkz | guigouz: Ok. so kernel decompression output is before init, then the rest of the messages are from init? Is dmesg init or kernel or a mix of both? | 18:36 |
| pikaciu | thegreyspot: look in additional drivers | 18:37 |
| pikaciu | thegreyspot: and run ifconfig | 18:37 |
| escott | markkkz, the kernel keeps its logging in memory before handing it off to syslog. dmesg just prints the kernels buffer which may or may not be long enough to include kernel logs from the very beginning of the boot | 18:37 |
| phibxr | thegreyspot, how strong is the signal? | 18:37 |
| markkkz | escott: ok thanks. hmm.... | 18:39 |
| Elems | My laptop can't shut down or log out, how do I fix this? | 18:39 |
| dr_willis | Elems: and how are you trying to 'log out' ? | 18:40 |
| Elems | dr_willis using the log out option from the menu. And I've tried shutting down from there and the command line with no success. | 18:40 |
| thegreyspot | pikaciu: doing an apt-get upgrade so ill brb | 18:41 |
| tnks | I'm on Oneric, does anyone have vim problems inserting a prefix on multiple lines with a visual block? | 18:42 |
| dr_willis | Elems: so what does it do exctly when you try to log out? thats a totally differnt sort of thing then shutting down. | 18:42 |
| Elems | dr_willis it hangs on a blank screen | 18:42 |
| dr_willis | Elems: i recall ages ago in gdm needing to use a 'always restart x server' setting for my old ati card | 18:43 |
| tnks | the keystrokes I think it should be are: Ctrl-V, <select lines>, I, <prefix>, ESC | 18:43 |
| tnks | but it's never worked for me. | 18:44 |
| Elems | dr_willis I'm using a nvidia card with the proprietary drivers, should I try what you are saying..? | 18:44 |
| tnks | I asked #vim, but they recommended I verify it with other Ubuntu users. | 18:44 |
| === Guest73974 is now known as BarkingFish | ||
| dr_willis | Elems: i dont even know if lightdm has that option any more. It was in GDM. | 18:47 |

(right now Im in the login-manager (gui)) .. serial console gives me no login console or something like that.. maybe simple copying a valid passwd/shadow to fs? | 19:09 |
| theadmin | xaxes: Boot from a livecd, chroot and adduser | 19:09 |
| theadmin | xaxes: best idea imo | 19:09 |
| plouffe | does anyone know if it is possible to run a real Windows 7 partition under Ubuntu (like a virtual machine)? | 19:09 |
| xaxes | theadmin: thanks, livecd could be heavy ^^ no cd ;) but I gonna try to use live-install | 19:10 |
| theadmin | plouffe: Yes, you can. | 19:10 |
| plouffe | theadmin, how? | 19:10 |
| MeQuerSat | xaxes: cant you just do a Control+Alt+F1 and log in as root? | 19:10 |
| theadmin | plouffe: Virtualbox can do that -- make it use a real hard drive, like this: VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -rawdisk /dev/sda -filename ~/my-harddrive.vdi | 19:10 |
| FightOppression | Why can't I boot from USB on my Asus p5B board? I formatted the stick with ext3, created a startup usb stick with the Gnome application and set boot from removable device in the bios. | 19:10 |

| theadmin | xaxes: Hey, another idea | 19:11 |
| plouffe | theadmin, that is all? I will give it a go | 19:11 |
| lunitik | plouffe, I would recommend virtualbox-ose as a starting point | 19:11 |
| xaxes | I actually dont like the root-philosophy on ubuntu.. ^^ | 19:11 |
| MeQuerSat | oh, didnt know that theadmin, thanks :) | 19:11 |
| theadmin | xaxes: During boot up, hold Shift, and then choose "Recovery mode" and from there on, "root shell" | 19:11 |
| xaxes | gonna try it | 19:12 |
| theadmin | xaxes: If that doesn't work, try appending "init=/bin/bash" to your kernel line, and replace "ro" with "rw". | 19:12 |
| lunitik | xaxes, Why? Having a root account makes it very easy to hack the box, using sudo and disabling the root account makes things a lot more secure... of course it would be better to use SELinux and simply limit root and users to what you actually want, but that is considered too difficult | 19:12 |
| === LouisJB_ is now known as LouisJB | ||
| MeQuerSat | "Having a root account makes it very easy to hack the box" | 19:13 |
| MeQuerSat | not true at all | 19:13 |
| MeQuerSat | If you set roots password to 123, then youre right... | 19:13 |
| xaxes | lunitik: see it from that point: most of the people want to use a `simple` password for normal work.. not to type every time a 32pw .. most of them have a very simple one.. if you have this.. everything is fine, maybe Im wrong | 19:14 |
| lunitik | MeQuerSat, it makes it very simple to target john the ripper at a particular account... it is predictable | 19:14 |
| xaxes | lunitik: you could change the name of "root" to every name you want.. so that shouldnt be a real problem | 19:14 |
| lunitik | xaxes, but it is always UID 1 | 19:14 |
| xaxes | lunitik: yes | 19:15 |
| xaxes | do you use the UID on login? :) | 19:15 |
| lunitik | xaxes, you cannot predict the account number of an account with sudo access | 19:15 |
| xaxes | theadmin: shift doesnt work sadly.. gonna try the bash thing | 19:15 |
| lunitik | xaxes, a hacker would use UID to gain access, though | 19:15 |
| MeQuerSat | it mostly is 1000... | 19:15 |

| SMJ | yes, all kinds of useless stuff. vlc looks like this http://www.bablotech.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/vlc-media-player-100-rc1.png | 19:36 |
| kijutsu | MeQuerSat: nope. I don't have time before Xorg decides to lock up. | 19:36 |
| MeQuerSat | kijutsu, it can be done via command line, but Im not sure how | 19:37 |
| lunitik | kijutsu, dpkg -l *nvidia* | 19:37 |
| kijutsu | MeQuerSat: according to apt-cache showpkg nvidia-current -- it's 195.36.24-0ubuntu1 | 19:37 |
| kijutsu | For the record.. I'm using 10.04-LTS | 19:37 |
| SMJ | Sidewinder1: is juke a command line program? | 19:38 |
| MeQuerSat | SMJ: then use mplayer or smplayer | 19:38 |
| Lubomir | argh | 19:38 |
| lunitik | SMJ, no... it is a minimalistic KDE player | 19:38 |
| Lubomir | i installed grub again | 19:38 |
| Lubomir | with sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sdX | 19:38 |
| Lubomir | and after reboot i get again the minimalistic grub command line | 19:38 |
| SMJ | I'll try smplayer | 19:39 |
| * lunitik pokes mplayer2 | 19:39 | |
| MeQuerSat | Lubomir, did you use /dev/sdX or /dev/sda ? | 19:39 |
| bencc | how can I flush the dns? | 19:39 |
| Lubomir | dev/sda | 19:39 |
| bencc | ping gives me correct IP on one machine but on the other the old IP | 19:39 |
| escott | Lubomir, did you have sda1 mounted on /mnt at the time you ran that command | 19:39 |
| Lubomir | before i mount the right root partition to the right place | 19:39 |
| Lubomir | escott:yes | 19:40 |
| MeQuerSat | bencc: I believe sudo /etc/init.d/dns-clean start will do the job | 19:40 |
| SMJ | smplayer looks good | 19:40 |
| MeQuerSat | bencc: if that doesnt work, you can do a "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" | 19:40 |
| bencc | MeQuerSat: still old IP | 19:40 |
| Sidewinder1 | SMJ, Although it can be started via cli, it's a KDE based (I believe) GUI player; not too top-heavy, IMHO. | 19:40 |
| Lubomir | that cant be normal! How should a normal user use ubuntu?!? He installs it, run the updates and after that its broken | 19:41 |
| bencc | MeQuerSat: still old IP | 19:41 |
| relik | how can you encrypt the home directory after installation of ubuntu 11.10? | 19:41 |
| MeQuerSat | Lubomir, that rarely happens | 19:41 |
| bencc | MeQuerSat: I also tried to restart | 19:41 |
| escott | relik, yes | 19:41 |
| relik | escott: but how? | 19:41 |
| escott | !ecryptfs | relik | 19:41 |
| greves | hello, i have a question about dual booting | 19:41 |
| MeQuerSat | bencc: then try this: sudo aptitude install nscd | 19:41 |
| MeQuerSat | bencc: and then run: sudo /etc/init.d/nscd restart | 19:41 |
| kijutsu | bencc: try using 'sudo /etc/init.d/nscd restart' | 19:41 |
| bencc | why do I need nscd? | 19:42 |
| MeQuerSat | its the dns caching daemon | 19:42 |
| escott | relik, was hoping there would be an ecryptfs suggestion. evidently there isn't. its a bit involved so its probably easiest to create a new user with encrypted home and then migrate | 19:42 |
| SMJ | juke is curses-based player, you must mean Juk... | 19:42 |
| bencc | do I need to install a caching daemon to clean the cache? | 19:42 |
| MeQuerSat | Lubomir, what was the output after which you ran the grub-install command? | 19:42 |
| MeQuerSat | bencc: networking restart should work | 19:42 |
| relik | hmmm let me check how | 19:43 |
| escott | relik, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory | 19:43 |
| greves | can anyone advise me on dual booting? just bought a machine with no OS, i will primarily use win7 which i haven't installed yet, i have a 1TB hard drive - what is the best way to partition for ubuntu? | 19:43 |
| Lubomir | MeQuerSat: that it installed successfully and with no errors | 19:43 |
| phlux | Hey guys, I had to reboot my Ubuntu system, and I booted into a grub> prompt | 19:43 |
| bencc | MeQuerSat: example.com gives me the old IP but www.example.com the new IP | 19:43 |
| kijutsu | greves: you can install windows 7, then install ubuntu afterwards, and I'm pretty sure that Ubuntu will resize the existing partition and modify the boot record automatically. | 19:43 |
| bencc | MeQuerSat: that's weird | 19:43 |
| phlux | not sure why, but root (hd0,0) won't do anything, nor will setup (hd0) | 19:44 |
| MeQuerSat | bencc: but its not the fault of ubuntu | 19:44 |
| phlux | so any help getting this thing booted would be appreciated | 19:44 |
| MeQuerSat | bencc: restart your router? | 19:44 |
| kijutsu | greves: or install windows 7 as usual, and leave a 50-ish gig partition at the end of your drive for use with partition. | 19:44 |
| kijutsu | .,..ubuntu rather | 19:44 |
| greves | kijutsu: is it easy/possible to make a relatively small ubuntu partition, and save most larger files to the windows partition? | 19:44 |
| SMJ | JuK is great too | 19:44 |
| bencc | MeQuerSat: ubuntu is a vbox guest but the win host gives new IP | 19:44 |
| bencc | MeQuerSat: so I don't think it's the router | 19:44 |
| greves | like, can i "share" the drive between windows and ubutu? | 19:45 |
| lunitik | greves, sure | 19:45 |
| xaxes | thanks all.. bye ;) | 19:45 |
| kijutsu | greves: i'm not sure how well Linux can write to NTFS yet. I know for a long time it was very touch and go. | 19:45 |
| MeQuerSat | Lubomir, phlux, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Use_Boot-Repair_Graphical_Tool | 19:45 |
| phlux | Anyone? | 19:45 |
| phlux | Thanks | 19:45 |
| lunitik | greves, I would recommend creating a separate drive for it rather than the windows c: though | 19:45 |
| kijutsu | lunitik: fat32 you think? | 19:46 |
| RoadsterGT | how can i edit grub so it loads automatically the 4th option at boot select? (windows that is) | 19:46 |
| lunitik | kijutsu, ntfs is fine | 19:46 |
| hayxor | i have had goos luck with dual booting wins and ubuntu- but i think ut helps for beginners to install windows first then linux | 19:46 |
| hayxor | good* | 19:46 |
| lunitik | kijutsu, that is what ntfs-3g is for | 19:46 |
| greves | lunitik: how big should i make the ubuntu drive to be useable? | 19:46 |
| MeQuerSat | kijutsu, ntfs has great read+write support nowadays | 19:46 |
| === max is now known as Guest9714 | ||
| kijutsu | lunitik: i wasn't aware NTFs writing has been made functional. About time that's been incorperated :) | 19:46 |
| greves | lunitik: assuming i'll just save anything bigger than a few hundred MB direct to the windows partition | 19:47 |
| Lubomir | 352MB download for reinstall grub. HAHAHA :D | 19:47 |
| RoadsterGT | how can i edit grub so it loads automatically the 4th option at boot select? (windows that is) | 19:47 |
| lunitik | greves, I would recommend at least 5 gigs, and something like 15 gigs for c: ... then utilizing tweak UI to move Windows apps to d: and share d: on both systems | 19:47 |
| === RoadsterGT is now known as Timewarper | ||
| lunitik | kijutsu, that is why I am recommending a smallish c: and a larger secondary partition to be shared | 19:47 |
| MeQuerSat | Lubomir, you can also install the boot-repair program from the live-cd.. | 19:47 |
| greves | lunitik: that sounds like a good idea... | 19:48 |
| phlux | MeQuerSat: I can't boot from that grub prompt somehow? | 19:48 |
| greves | lunitik: so then my drives would be: /dev/sda1 (15gb c:), sda2 (960gb d:), sda3 (15gb ubuntu), sda4 (2gb swap) | 19:48 |
| greves | lunitik: something like that? | 19:49 |
| lunitik | greves, it is actually good practice anyway, that way you can reinstall the main windows system every so often to ensure best performance | 19:49 |
| MeQuerSat | phlux, probably not | 19:49 |
| phlux | That sucks | 19:49 |
| phlux | Thanks, MeQuerSat. I'll give it a download. | 19:49 |
| xsinick | what channel can I talk about the trends of ubuntu | 19:49 |
| lunitik | greves, well, I would recommend a small /boot partition of maybe 300mb to keep grub safe as well | 19:49 |
| xsinick | and it's new look? | 19:49 |
| greves | lunitik: oh speaking of that, i was planning to use norton ghost to make a backup of the windows install + ninite downloads | 19:49 |
| Lubomir | i take an other distribution... i tought i give ubuntu a try on the laptop of a friend. that was a good try. I dont want to loose any more time. i will use my own distribution. check zevenos-neptune. its debian based with my own compiled kernel based on vanilla sources and so on | 19:49 |
| lunitik | greves, unless you are familiar with the Windows boot manager | 19:49 |
| greves | lunitik: so i'd need another partition for that, no? | 19:49 |
| MeQuerSat | greves: you should keep the small OS partitions at the beginning of the drive | 19:50 |
| lunitik | greves, yes, for /boot | 19:50 |
| wolfmitchell | Hey | 19:51 |
| lunitik | greves, 15 gigs is more than enough to not even need to share drives on the Ubuntu system... Windows 7 is HUGE though | 19:51 |
| greves | so what should my drive setup be assuming i want ~15gb c:, ~15gb /, ~2gb swap, ~x00mb /boot, ~15gb c:/ ghost | 19:51 |
| greves | well i've got 1tb to play with | 19:51 |
| greves | is it easy with tweakui to default all app installs to d:? | 19:51 |
| greves | so like if i install 10 gigs of adobe nonsense, that will all be on d:? | 19:52 |
| shibin | hai all when I try to update my ubuntu I got stuck with this error The package burg-theme-picchio needs to be reinstalled ,, please help ? | 19:52 |
| lunitik | greves, part 1: 500mb /boot; part 2: 15 gig windows c:\; part 3: 5 gb Ubuntu (can use a swap file); part 4: shared drive (d:\ and say /home/$USER/stuff/ | 19:53 |
| MeQuerSat | I would do this: 100mb /boot ~ 30gb C:/ ~ 20gb ubuntu ~ 2gb swap ~ rest for D:/ | 19:53 |
| jaylad | i need help with unix file permissions | 19:53 |
| lunitik | greves, you can move it there via tweak ui, yes... if adobe obeys the new programs folder | 19:53 |
| greves | and what about the ghost copy of fresh C: install | 19:53 |
| lunitik | jaylad, ok... with respect to what? | 19:54 |
| hayxor | i would just out the ubunut on their and acess the windows files that way with dual boot | 19:54 |
| MeQuerSat | greves: just dump that in D:/ | 19:54 |
| shibin | The package burg-theme-picchio needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it. how to remove this | 19:54 |
| hayxor | they are all their as a file system you can browse | 19:54 |
| lunitik | greves, d: or a usb stick to keep it safer | 19:54 |
| greves | MeQuerSat: i thought the idea was that it's not mounted in case of any corruption ? | 19:54 |
| M4d3L | hi. how I can make a speedtest from ssh ? | 19:54 |
| MeQuerSat | greves: its only a ghost copy afterall | 19:54 |
| MeQuerSat | I dont even like them | 19:54 |
| M4d3L | I want to know the connection speed of my server | 19:54 |
| jaylad | well i wanted to stop users from being able to read files out side their home folder and i fucked up abit because ive taken all their permissions away | 19:55 |
| MeQuerSat | jaylad: first you can do a "sudo chown user:group /home/user" | 19:55 |
| MeQuerSat | and replace user and group by the username and the group they are in | 19:55 |
| MeQuerSat | M4d3L, create a 100mb test file and download it? :) | 19:56 |
| bazhang | jaylad, watch the language here, no cursing | 19:56 |
| jaylad | iim sorry | 19:56 |
| greves | MeQuerSat: well, assuming that at some point i get a crippling virus on windows 7, wouldnt it be hard to reload the ghost image if it was just on D:? | 19:56 |
| martianlobster | which device is the cdrom? I tried /dev/sr0 /dev/scd0, so far no luck | 19:56 |
| Gentoo64 | martianlobster, sr0 or cdrom | 19:57 |
| MeQuerSat | greves: I dont know what you use to recover a system, but I think it should be possible to browse the D:/ drive for the ghost-image | 19:57 |
| martianlobster | sudo dd if=/dev/cdrom of=gaga1.iso | 19:57 |
| martianlobster | dd: reading `/dev/cdrom': Input/output error | 19:57 |
| MeQuerSat | martian, do a "ls /dev" | 19:58 |
| MeQuerSat | and see what its called | 19:58 |
| M4d3L | MeQuerSat: I only have 10mbit connecter from home. it will not be a revelant test | 19:58 |
| martianlobster | there are countless directories in /dev | 19:58 |
| Gentoo64 | /dev/cdrom is just a shortcut to sr0 | 19:58 |
| Gentoo64 | sr0 is usually the proper one to use | 19:59 |
| dssdsd | :) | 19:59 |
| MeQuerSat | martian, then tru /dev/sr0 | 19:59 |
| MeQuerSat | try* | 19:59 |
| greves | MeQuerSat, ok so going with your idea /boot, c:, /, swap, d:, which of those are primary / logical partitions? | 19:59 |
| MeQuerSat | all OS and boot drives should be primary | 19:59 |
| Mitochondria | !seen Mito | 19:59 |
| ubottu | I have no seen command | 19:59 |
| qwebirc6378 | Hello | 19:59 |
| * Mitochondria cries | 19:59 | |
| MeQuerSat | if you setup your drive as GPT you can have more than 4 primary partitions btw | 19:59 |
| greves | MeQuerSat, d: should be primary too or no? | 20:00 |
| greves | i don't see how that works if it comes after /swap and its primary | 20:00 |
| MeQuerSat | why not set the drive up as GPT? | 20:00 |
| MeQuerSat | then you can have them all as primary | 20:01 |
| greves | oh ok | 20:01 |
| greves | do i need to switch a jumper for that or it's in BIOS or... ? | 20:01 |
| gatito | hola | 20:01 |
| martianlobster | here is a listing of /dev http://codepad.org/oxtz0uen | 20:01 |
| orzo | Hello. I understand the ubuntu .iso image works as a live cd. This is via isolinux, non-emulated el torito, right? I also believe these same images work as usb stick images. Is there anything special that is done to make a dual-use image like this? | 20:01 |
| MeQuerSat | greves, no, you can change it via a livecd | 20:01 |
| MeQuerSat | its just how you format the hard drive | 20:02 |
| jaylad | ive tryed using tried using chown and its still saying i have no permissions for that user | 20:02 |
| MeQuerSat | jaylad, did you use "sudo" ? | 20:02 |
| greves | MeQuerSat: ah, so i should do that before i install win7? | 20:02 |
| === mdupont_ is now known as mdupont | ||
| jaylad | well im logged in as root so theres no need to | 20:02 |
| === Amr0d_ is now known as Amr0d | ||
| MeQuerSat | greves: Yes, all versions can use GPT partitioned disks for data. Booting is only supported for 64-bit editions on UEFI-based systems. | 20:03 |
| MeQuerSat | so windows 7 can only boot if you have an UEFI based system, do you have that? | 20:04 |
| greves | MeQuerSat: i believe so. MSI h61ma-e35 b3 | 20:04 |
| MeQuerSat | I think thats uefi indewed | 20:05 |
| MeQuerSat | indeed* | 20:05 |
| MeQuerSat | the way I did it was boot from an ubuntu live cd, open gparted and formatted the hdd with partition table GPT | 20:06 |
| greves | hmm. i'm just reading about putting program files on another drive, apparently it's not recommended by many people | 20:07 |
| Si2100 | you trying to dual boot Ubuntu n 7 ? | 20:07 |
| Gentoo64 | greves, what program files? | 20:07 |
| MeQuerSat | greves, thats why I said a 30gb C:/ ;) | 20:07 |
| greves | MeQuerSat ah.... well if i'm installing stuff like adobe and office probably need more than 30gb... | 20:08 |
| === o_ is now known as oenvoyage | ||
| RoadsterGT | HEY | 20:08 |
| MeQuerSat | yeah, maybe 50 or 60 would be appropriate | 20:08 |
| RoadsterGT | how can i install gpu driver? | 20:08 |
| Si2100 | greves, give it a 250gb | 20:08 |
| wolfmitchell | The unity sidebar does not show if Firefox is maximised, but it does everywhere else. | 20:09 |
| greves | i'm almost tempted to just go full ubuntu, and if it weren't for office i would | 20:09 |
| greves | afaik theres not exactly a very reliable way to run MS office in linux.. no? | 20:09 |
| Si2100 | greves, you could put Office under wine ? | 20:09 |
| MeQuerSat | greves: I went full ubuntu and just put Windows in a virtual machine in Ubuntu | 20:09 |
| MeQuerSat | Office + wine = fail | 20:09 |
| wolfmitchell | Nvm, it finally decided to work | 20:09 |
| greves | ya wine won't do i think | 20:09 |
| RoadsterGT | How to install proprietary graphics driver? | 20:09 |
| Si2100 | does | 20:09 |
| greves | i am basically going to use the computer as an HTPC | 20:10 |
| Si2100 | i got Office 2007 | 20:10 |
| MeQuerSat | Im talking about the latest Office | 20:10 |
| greves | will ubuntu have any video file format problems? | 20:10 |
| MeQuerSat | 2003/2007 work, kinda | 20:10 |
| Si2100 | yeah | 20:10 |
| Si2100 | i use Thunderbird for Email | 20:10 |
| MeQuerSat | greves: file format problems? not at all | 20:10 |
| MeQuerSat | video display problems? maybe | 20:10 |
| greves | ah... | 20:10 |
| bekks | greves: codec problems is what you are meaning... | 20:10 |
| greves | i want to run from the motherboards HDMI to 1920x1080 TV | 20:11 |
| MeQuerSat | RoadsterGT, amd or nvidia? | 20:11 |
| greves | bekks yes codec sorry | 20:11 |
| RoadsterGT | Medjai, nvidia | 20:11 |
| MeQuerSat | greves, youre using a sandybridge i3 ? | 20:11 |
| greves | MeQuerSat sandy bridge celeron g530 (onboard graphics) | 20:11 |
| MeQuerSat | ouch | 20:11 |
| Medjai | What's that RoadsterGT ? | 20:12 |
| greves | hey i'm not gaming here and reviews all say g530 can more than handle 1080p which is all i need | 20:12 |
| MeQuerSat | I currently have a Intel Pentium G620 on a Z68 motherboard | 20:12 |
| greves | plus i can drop in an ivy bridge later next year :) | 20:12 |
| MeQuerSat | and I will drop ivy bridge in too :P | 20:12 |
| MeQuerSat | but its pretty hard to display video without tearing | 20:12 |
| greves | so will ubuntu have any problems showing 1920x1080 resolution on the tv? | 20:12 |
| RoadsterGT | Medjai, nvidia 9600m gt | 20:13 |
| RoadsterGT | MeQuerSat, | 20:13 |
| RoadsterGT | sorry | 20:13 |
| Medjai | lol I thought you meant him | 20:13 |
| MeQuerSat | greves: you should really try it and see for yourself | 20:13 |
| Medjai | just making sure | 20:13 |
| greves | MeQuerSat: is that because onboard video drivers are lacking? | 20:13 |
| MeQuerSat | RoadsterGT, so "sudo apt-get install nvidia-current" | 20:13 |
| MeQuerSat | greves: no, because drivers for Linux are lacking | 20:13 |

| MeQuerSat | if better intel video drivers get released, no problem | 20:15 |
| MeQuerSat | but atm :/ | 20:15 |
| brondy | how do i edit the grub menu to make one partition the default and get rid of all the extra kernels - this is 10 04 lts | 20:15 |
| greves | MeQuerSat 720p no issues i suppose? | 20:15 |
| MeQuerSat | well, tearing | 20:15 |
| brontosaurusrex | greves, MeQuerSat so this intel gpus are supposed to have some sort of h264 decoding support, right? | 20:16 |
| MeQuerSat | yeah, but its a pita to get that working under Linux | 20:16 |
| MeQuerSat | greves: an ubuntu install will take 20 minutes | 20:16 |
| brontosaurusrex | MeQuerSat, how is the technology called , was it quicksand or something like that? | 20:16 |
| MeQuerSat | greves: just give it a try | 20:16 |
| greves | MeQuerSat: are you using these? http://intellinuxgraphics.org/2011Q3.html | 20:17 |
| MeQuerSat | greves: im using the official ubuntu drivers | 20:17 |
| MeQuerSat | probably the same as you posted | 20:17 |
| brontosaurusrex | i have a smooth 1080p playback on an eee asus, but thats well supported nvidia ion | 20:17 |
| MeQuerSat | 2.17.0 here atm | 20:17 |
| brontosaurusrex | with nvidia drivers that is | 20:17 |
| greves | well wtf is wrong with intel that they can't put out decent linux drivers | 20:18 |
| MeQuerSat | well, playback is pretty smooth | 20:18 |
| MeQuerSat | except for tearing | 20:18 |
| MeQuerSat | cant wait for the intel devs to implement a working vsync option | 20:19 |
| greves | hmmm | 20:19 |
| greves | well, maybe i'll give it a shot | 20:19 |
| greves | what is good virtualization software to install windows under? | 20:20 |
| gmzlj | MeQuerSat: try mplayer-vaapi | 20:20 |
| greves | and will my g530 handle that ok? | 20:20 |
| gmzlj | MeQuerSat: don't know how to find it for ubuntu | 20:20 |
| MeQuerSat | gmzlj, like I said before: its a pita to get that working | 20:20 |
| dougl | does anyone have any suggestions for an alternative (more full featured/options) to the open gl screen saver that comes with ubuntu 10?? | 20:20 |
| MeQuerSat | greves: probably not | 20:20 |
| gmzlj | MeQuerSat: vo=vaapi and it just works for me | 20:20 |
| MeQuerSat | greves: but just give it a try | 20:20 |
| greves | MeQuerSat: yeah, perhaps | 20:20 |
| MeQuerSat | gmzlj, standard mplayer isnt built with vaapi | 20:20 |
| gmzlj | MeQuerSat: yes, theres a fork | 20:21 |
| MeQuerSat | gmzlj, care to give me a link? | 20:21 |
| greves | MeQuerSat: would booting from a usb be a good enough representation of 1080p playback capabilities? | 20:21 |
| gmzlj | archlinux packages mplayer-vaapi, which is where i use it | 20:22 |
| gmzlj | so i don't know about ubuntu | 20:22 |
| MeQuerSat | oh, ok | 20:22 |
| jaylad | ok when i add a new user they don't have any permissions to their home folder but they can view files outside their home folder but not in. ive tried chown user /home/user to the user and its still not working. any help? | 20:22 |
| gmzlj | but its in archlinux's community so its supported | 20:22 |
| theadmin | gmzlj: lol, using Arch too? | 20:22 |
| MeQuerSat | greves: yeah, it would be | 20:22 |
| gmzlj | yes | 20:22 |
| w1res | hi guys, I made a script I want to run when ubuntu starts up (for x11), what is the best location to put it? | 20:23 |
| dougl | does anyone have any suggestions for an alternative (more full featured/options) to the open gl slide show screen saver that comes with ubuntu 10.4 - err? | 20:23 |
| greves | MeQuerSat: ok i'll download the liveusb then and try that first... thanks for all the information. cheers! | 20:23 |
| MeQuerSat | greves: oh, make sure to get the 64bit variant ;) | 20:23 |
| theadmin | w1res: Search for "Startup Applications" in the dash | 20:23 |
| gmzlj | theadmin: yes, why? | 20:23 |
| Mitochondria | Running linux off a USB drive should be alright to play video files in 1080P. Assuming the system can handle it | 20:24 |
| greves | MeQuerSat, yup already downloading | 20:24 |
| theadmin | gmzlj: Ah not much, just I myself am an Arch user as well :D Mind pm'ing me? | 20:24 |
| jaylad | ok when i add a new user they don't have any permissions to their home folder but they can view files outside their home folder but not in. ive tried chown user /home/user to the user and its still not working. any help? | 20:24 |
| w1res | theadmin: that's what I used to start the script, but I just put it in my user directory, is that ok? | 20:24 |
| greves | i'll just throw a 1080p file on the usb stick to try playing | 20:24 |
| Mitochondria | UNetbootin allows for the installation of various Linux/BSD distributions to a partition or USB drive, so it's no different from a standard install, only it doesn't need a CD. It can create a dual-boot install, or replace the existing OS entirely. | 20:24 |
| theadmin | w1res: Sure, though a better place is ~/bin or ~/.local/bin | 20:24 |
| greves | ah i love 50Mbps line... download already complete :) | 20:25 |
| MeQuerSat | 50mbps? tsss | 20:25 |
| MeQuerSat | 120mbit ;) | 20:25 |
| w1res | thanks | 20:25 |
| MeQuerSat | but yeah, gotta love the ubuntu servers | 20:26 |

| lkwells_ | I have a question about a graphics card? | 20:26 |
| bekks | lkwells_: Maybe you have a question? :) | 20:26 |
| MeQuerSat | jaylad, what did the command line say when you did a "sudo -i" | 20:26 |
| Mitochondria | Ubuntu servers ****ing me, or perhaps linux just hates my wireless card. | 20:26 |
| theadmin | jaylad: Most of us are. | 20:26 |
| jaylad | i didn't sudo im logged in as root | 20:27 |
| lkwells_ | yep i guess i need one for ubuntu 11,10 o? | 20:27 |
| Sidewinder1 | jaylad, That sounds strange; I know that's not helping but if a new user doesn't have access to their own /home, perhaps you set it up incorrectly? Just a WAG on my part.. | 20:27 |
| MeQuerSat | jaylad, then what did the command line say after you did the "chown" | 20:27 |
| alien2050 | jaylad: did you try a chown -R (recursive) otherwise it won't work | 20:27 |
| alien2050 | there are a lot of dot files in users home directories | 20:28 |
| jaylad | nothing just did it but the user still doesn't have any file permissions | 20:28 |
| greves | MeQuerSat: dunno about yours but mine is just a personal home connection for ~$30/month :) | 20:28 |
| alien2050 | be sure you're IN the /home directory | 20:28 |

| MeQuerSat | greves, 70 euros/moth here :/ | 20:28 |
| theadmin | junglejim: Karmic is EOL, so no big surprise. | 20:29 |
| alien2050 | otherwise you can scrap a lot of things | 20:29 |
| greves | MeQuerSat: including ~500 channels of IPTV | 20:29 |
| greves | MeQuerSat and the iptv digital box, etc | 20:29 |

| Space-Duck | How can I enable mod_rewrite in xubuntu? I've already change allow_override all but I still get a 404. | 21:07 |
| fluvvell | I have an ASUS motherboard with built in intel graphics, surely this is fairly standard? | 21:07 |
| escott | fluvvell, if unity 2d is working but unity is not then its a video card issue. you may need to install proprietary drivers with jockey-gtk to get your video card to work | 21:07 |
| fluvvell | escott, will do that now. | 21:08 |
| yeats | Space-Duck: 'sudo a2enmod rewrite'? | 21:08 |
| Shirakawasuna | bowie: k. That's actually a really old card to be using for that. Or is it a quadro fx 5500? | 21:08 |
| fluvvell | escott, intel graphics needs proprietory drivers??? | 21:08 |
| escott | fluvvell, if your graphics are intel then there are no proprietary drivers for that. its possible that an older intel may not be supported well enough for unity | 21:08 |
| fluvvell | escott, motherboard less than a year old!! | 21:09 |
| Space-Duck | yeats, ERROR: Module rewrite not properly enabled: /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/rewrite.load is a real file, not touching it | 21:09 |

| bekks | fluvvell: That doesnt mean it has a current graphics chipset onboard. | 21:09 |
| escott | fluvvell, what kind of chipset do you have | 21:09 |
| brontosaurusrex | Space-Duck, did you restart server? | 21:09 |
| fluvvell | escott, intel 915 i think, just going to look now | 21:10 |
| Space-Duck | brontosaurusrex, yep. I made touched the rewrite.load file when I edited it | 21:10 |
| Space-Duck | Do I need to chmod it? | 21:10 |
| Shirakawasuna | bowie: ok, so two options | 21:11 |
| Shirakawasuna | bowie: 1) proprietary driver, probably need to use one of the older packages: http://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers#non-free_drivers | 21:11 |
| Shirakawasuna | bowie: so this will be nvidia-173 or nvidia-96, you'll have to see which one support geforce 5 / NV30 cards | 21:11 |
| Shirakawasuna | bowie: 2) nouveau with gallium 3d. This is still experimental, but might 'just work'. | 21:11 |

| fluvvell | bekks, how current would it need to be???? since when did ubuntu only support the most current of video drivers? | 21:13 |
| bowie | <Shirakawasuna> thanks a lot! | 21:14 |
| bekks | fluvvell: No one said that. | 21:14 |
| bekks | fluvvell: That was a remark regarding a very special chipset mentioned. | 21:14 |
| spoq | yo ubuntu | 21:15 |
| escott | fluvvell, intel marketing always confuses me. i dont understand how you can have 915 and core i5 in the same system | 21:15 |
| fluvvell | bekks, sorry not following re: very special chipset. | 21:16 |
| Shirakawasuna | bowie: np! Just make sure you're using the right version. I *think* you want -173, but I'm not positive. | 21:16 |
| fluvvell | escott, just reporting lsmod | 21:16 |
| escott | fluvvell, if you have something marketed as a pentium or a centrino then you actually have a chip that is a few years old | 21:16 |
| fluvvell | escott, I put the motherboard in, and unless im mistaken (which i'll know once i dig out the box) its cpu is an i5 | 21:17 |
| Space-Duck | yeats, I followed the steps there and still get a 404. a2enmod rewrite: returns: Module rewrite already enabled | 21:17 |
| bowie | <Shirakawasuna> yup, i used it in ubuntu (it was easy to install there) just need to find how to make it work on this distro :) | 21:17 |

| fluvvell | escott, its a p7h55-m ASUS motherboard, and therefore either an i3 or an i5 | 21:20 |
| xangua | !info ubuntu-wallpapers | ryan__ | 21:20 |

| ryan__ | How can I install the .deb file of the Ubuntu Natty wallpapers in Ubuntu 11.10 (the package ubuntu-wallpapers) | 21:24 |
| escott | vvompy, it depends on what kind of encryption this is, but usually you have a short password 8-16 characters that you can remember which unlocks a longer file with a full length key of some kind. so if you have that original unencrypted file | 21:24 |
| dr_willis | ryan__: get the .deb and sudo dpkg -i foo.deb is one way | 21:24 |
| escott | fluvvell, that looks good | 21:24 |

| Pelo | xangua, nothing , | 21:24 |
| fluvvell | escott, a bit clunky but yes. | 21:25 |
| Pelo | xangua, if it helps, it's like the scroll wheels makes it scroll 1/8" | 21:25 |
| escott | fluvvell, it should be smooth (even if it were fully cpu it should still be smooth) | 21:25 |

| escott | Christina`, without a way to boot your netbook off an external device you will have a brick at the first failure. you should get a usb stick and make yourself a bootable liveusb | 22:19 |

| radu_dude | yep | 22:39 |
| Takyoji | radu_dude: The very basic manual way is to just archive the hidden folders in your home directory. | 22:39 |
| Fuzy | Does anyone know where I can download the ubuntu desktop graphical installer so I can run it from another linux desktop? I have lvm installed and would like to use the ubuntu graphical installer in debian to install to a new lvm slice | 22:39 |
| bazhang | radu_dude, got a separate home partition? | 22:39 |
| bazhang | Fuzy, ubiquity? | 22:40 |
| Fuzy | hrm | 22:40 |
| radu_dude | 4 partitions 2 ntfs for windows 1 swap 1 ext4 | 22:40 |
| Fuzy | thank you! | 22:40 |
| bazhang | radu_dude, a separate home would be the best insurance, along with backups of course | 22:40 |
| dooglus | Takyoji: I found the update tab. 'show new dist releases' was already set to 'normal releases' | 22:41 |
| dooglus | Takyoji: the other options are 'never' and 'lts' | 22:41 |
| Fuzy | this doesn't really help though, there's nothing to download | 22:41 |
| bazhang | radu_dude, unless you meant something like clonezilla to clone the whole thing | 22:41 |
| Fuzy | never mind | 22:41 |
| Takyoji | Have you even had it check for updates, and does it fail with checking for updates, or? | 22:41 |
| === philly99 is now known as yarrow | ||
| dooglus | Takyoji: it checks for updates, but doesn't find any. I guess they were applied recently | 22:42 |
| ravita_kaur | anyone here can help me with vala, i want to change some codes in slingshot | 22:42 |
| dooglus | Takyoji: it's not my computer. I'm trying to upgrade it because the owner is mad that it keeps crashing and losing her work. she's using the 'W' word | 22:43 |
| FightOppression | hi | 22:43 |
| radu_dude | bazhang: i can't find clonezilla in software | 22:43 |
| ravita_kaur | FightOppression : :) | 22:43 |
| bazhang | radu_dude, check their website | 22:43 |
| Gami | I have an wired internet connection issue. I've tried a few things that obviously haven't worked. I've tried different web browsers, I've tried changing network settings and I've tried editing config files. | 22:43 |
| dooglus | sudo apt-get update appears to work fine. | 22:44 |
| Takyoji | 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' perhaps | 22:44 |
| radu_dude | bazhang, ok i;l do that | 22:44 |
| dooglus | Takyoji: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. | 22:44 |
| Gami | Any ideas on what I can try? | 22:45 |
| Takyoji | ahh, "gksu update-manager -c" | 22:45 |
| Takyoji | For distro upgrade | 22:45 |
| dooglus | Takyoji: sudo update-manager --dist-upgrade tells me (after a lot of thinking) "there are no upgrades available for your system" | 22:45 |
| dooglus | Takyoji: Usage: gksu [-u <user>] [options] <command> | 22:46 |
| widewake | Hey, whats best MSN messenger replacement for Ubuntu? | 22:47 |
| dooglus | Takyoji: "gksu: invalid option -- 'c'" | 22:47 |
| widewake | not sure what to use, i see a few online | 22:47 |
| Takyoji | "update-manager --dist-upgrade" is the correct command, sorry. | 22:47 |
| dooglus | Takyoji: I'll try 'gksu "update-manager -c"' instead - it works! | 22:48 |
| Takyoji | (with sudo of course) | 22:48 |
| dooglus | Takyoji: the --dist-upgrade didn't work - it thought for a long time, but came back saying there were no updates available | 22:48 |
| dooglus | but the update-manager -c is telling me 11.10 is available | 22:48 |
| Takyoji | Yea, apparently the '-c' tells it to check for a distro upgrade I guess | 22:48 |
| qin | dooglus: Is it not: do-release-upgrade ? | 22:49 |
| dooglus | qin: could be | 22:49 |
| radu_dude | bazhang, i did a backup with the backup from unity | 22:49 |

| gary_inNYC | How do I mount my ipod touch 2nd gen to rhythmbox using an openbox session instead of gnome? | 22:52 |
| Takyoji | You're welcome | 22:52 |
| Takyoji | lucas-arg: Try toying around with tvtime, it's been the easiest thing for me, "it just works" | 22:52 |
| dooglus | weird that I had to resort to the command line for something as simple as upgrading | 22:52 |
| Takyoji | Yea, I know, it's a bit foolish | 22:52 |
| lucas-arg | Takyoji: doesnt work--- im using v4l from git... can make it work | 22:53 |

| MeQuerSat | anyone having video tearing on intel sandy bridge? | 22:53 |
| genii-around | phaktor: No prob. Looks like some usb issues, maybe driver for the controller | 22:54 |
| Takyoji | lucas-arg: See if there's anything known on here http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hardware_Device_Information for your model, if listed anywhere on there | 22:54 |
| lucas-arg | Takyoji: been there... | 22:55 |
| phaktor | genii-around : yea that was one of my thoughts too . It looks like 11.10 went to the 3.0 kernel and that may be part of the issue. I just don't have all the time I need to trouble shoot it now. | 22:55 |
| gary_inNYC | anyone know how to mount ipod touch in an openbox session instead of gnome? | 22:55 |
| Takyoji | I can't think of much myself; tvtime has been really all I've used, as it's pretty much autoconfigured (unlike VLC, which I could never manage to work) | 22:56 |
| Vampire0 | I'm still on Karmic (shame on me) because I didn't have time to do the upgrades yet. I need to install a new package. Is there someone still a repository mirror around? The official sources don't have karmic included anymore. :-( | 22:56 |
| genii-around | phaktor: Sorry not to resolve the issue. Will be here again on Monday if you still want to work away at it | 22:56 |

| gmzlj | tanath: /org/gnome/desktop/background/picture-uri | 23:07 |
| tanath | gmzlj, and the only 'gnome-setting' thing i have is 'gnome-settings-daemon' | 23:08 |
| tanath | gmzlj, so just change the path to that? | 23:08 |
| gmzlj | tanath: gnome-setting-deamon handles desktop wallpaper, not nautilus, since gnome 3 | 23:08 |
| gmzlj | tanath: actually my advice may be wrong | 23:08 |
| gmzlj | i don't know about unity | 23:08 |
| gmzlj | but the gnome 3 dconf setting sits at /org/gnome/desktop/background/picture-uri | 23:09 |

| tanath | gmzlj, looks to be wrong... i tried the suggested path and it didn't work | 23:10 |
| gmzlj | tanath: are you using gsettings? | 23:10 |

| gmzlj | ^ does that line work | 23:15 |
| tanath | gmzlj, i'm trying to set, not get | 23:15 |
| gmzlj | try get first | 23:15 |
| gmzlj | it will tell you if your on the right path | 23:15 |
| gmzlj | do you get the path of your current wallpaper? | 23:15 |
| gmzlj | if yes, we can worry about setting it | 23:15 |
| tanath | gmzlj, ok, i had tried to use that line only changing 'get' to 'set' and 'picture-uri' to the image path... | 23:15 |

| jrib | nvz: (do not make typos) | 23:18 |
| nvz | jrib: oh really, I didnt know that was how it worked.. I was wondering why a simple reload didnt do it | 23:18 |
| tanath | gmzlj, tried with and without quotes... | 23:19 |
| gmzlj | tanath: you need uri style sntax, eg file:///home/tanath/Pictures/ (note the 3 / in file:///) | 23:19 |
| tanath | darnit | 23:19 |
| tanath | ty | 23:19 |
| gmzlj | np | 23:19 |
| tanath | gmzlj, don't suppose you can get it to accept regular paths? | 23:19 |
| tanath | gmzlj, would be really helpful for my script | 23:19 |
| nvz | jrib: thanks, learned something new.. I knew about the thumbnails dir as I often clean it to save disk space but I didnt know it generated files for fails so it didnt try them again | 23:20 |
| gmzlj | tanath: its simple, just prefix "file://" before any absolute path, and you've got a valid uri | 23:20 |
| tanath | gmzlj, was hoping to save some effort | 23:20 |
| gmzlj | hardcode that into your script | 23:20 |
| tanath | yeah | 23:20 |

| janisozaur | I'm looking for a tool that could diff images. can be a gimp tool, cli, gui or online, doesn't matter | 23:21 |

| n4dsp | anyone here do tech support for Evolution? | 23:21 |
| tanath | janisozaur, you want to tell if it's different or what the differences are? | 23:21 |
| nvz | janisozaur: and are we talking pictures or like ISO kinda images? | 23:21 |
| nvz | janisozaur: in general be more specific so we can help you better | 23:21 |
| janisozaur | I have two png 512x512 images and there are literally couple pixels different. I need to find which (or rather to verify that these are the only differences) | 23:22 |
| === vito is now known as Guest32679 | ||
| tanath | janisozaur, if you just want to know if it's different, try diff. if you want an image of differences, use 'diffimg file1 file2 > image.jpg' | 23:23 |
| yagoo | janisozaur, there's probably tools like this.. i know there's a science of this i forget the name.. | 23:23 |
| yagoo | janisozaur, i believe there's something for it.. but you'll have to dig here or there (try googling against sf.net ) | 23:23 |
| tanath | yagoo, diffimg | 23:23 |
| nvz | yagoo: only term that comes to my mind is steganography which is more about hiding messages within | 23:23 |
| janisozaur | tanath, diffimg works fine, thanks | 23:24 |
| tanath | janisozaur, yw | 23:24 |
| yagoo | janisozaur, i remember there's even tools, let's say you want to make a webpage with similar images.. there's tools for this too | 23:24 |

| genii-around | sasori: Are you logged on with the name of the first user that was created, or a username that was added afterwards? Only the first created user has sudo rights by default | 23:30 |

| SpyderZ | Just installed Ubuntu on a Fujitsu Amilo Pro V2055 Notebook and can't get the second VGA monitor to get detected. Any trick to this? | 23:31 |
| sasori | it was still working yesterday,infact i even did sudo apt-get update as well and logged-in sasori's pwd | 23:32 |
| sasori | but now sasori seem gone..this is not a hacked case, yeah? | 23:32 |
| Mitochondria | Did you RS the laptop with the monitor plugged in? | 23:32 |
| genii-around | sasori: What is the output of command: groups | 23:33 |
| SpyderZ | No, what is RS? | 23:33 |
| sasori | genii-around: how will i know that? am not familiar with user management | 23:33 |
| Mitochondria | Restart~ | 23:33 |
| SpyderZ | Oh, yes I did. | 23:33 |
| nvz | ran into another problem gonna investigate it further in a minute but if anyone has ideas shout em out.. now that I installed the gstreamer codecs seems to be avi files are glitching where the video stops but time keeps going. I've had these files long time and know they had worked.. so far only checked to see if kerenl was throwing hdd errors, and there are none. Not sure what the problem is... totem, ubuntu 11.04 btw | 23:34 |
| szal | sasori: by looking at the output of the command | 23:34 |
| janisozaur | sasori, chech if "id -u" is 1000 | 23:34 |
| genii-around | atdiehm_home: So you use that to take a CD iso file as input, use it to write that to the USB stick, it makes all the other changes to make it boot right from that | 23:34 |
| Si2100 | i now Ubuntu has a Live USB Creator, | 23:35 |
| nvz | might be worth doing an fsck.. cause I did delete all but my homedir on this partition that used to be my debian install and trying to shrink it to install ubuntu failed multiple times due to short reads | 23:35 |
| sasori | janisozaur: yes, i typed "id -u" ..it's 1000 | 23:35 |
| Si2100 | atdiehm_home, check the application center and see if u can fid somink | 23:35 |
| sasori | but when i do sudo apt-get update..the usuall asking of passwd comes out | 23:35 |
| zykotick9 | nvz, try with vlc or mplayer (neither uses gstreamer) | 23:35 |
| sasori | but when i typed the pwd | 23:35 |
| sasori | it says | 23:35 |
| Mitochondria | Spyderz : have you tried going through all the monitor settings in the System Tab? | 23:35 |
| nvz | though not showing any short reads or other errors currently but I doubt fs problems would show up anywhere | 23:35 |
| genii-around | sasori: Did you run some command recently like usermod to try and add yourself to a new group? | 23:35 |
| sasori | sasori is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported | 23:36 |
| SpyderZ | When I do a xrandr -q I get the error "Failed to get size of gamma for output device…" | 23:36 |
| zykotick9 | sasori, type "groups" are you a member of "admin", if not - no sudo | 23:36 |
| SpyderZ | Mitochondria, yes.. only shows an unknown monitor for the LCD screen. | 23:36 |
| * genii-around hands zykotick9 yummy coffee | 23:36 | |
| n4dsp | is there an Evolution channel for tech support? | 23:36 |
| janisozaur | zykotick9, what about group "sudo"? | 23:36 |
| sasori | genii-around: i didn't..all i usually do is update my system | 23:37 |
| zykotick9 | janisozaur, in ubuntu NO, in debian yes. | 23:37 |
| bastidrazor | janisozaur: there is no sudo group in ubuntu | 23:37 |
| genii-around | janisozaur: There is no sudo group | 23:37 |
| sasori | zykotick9: i typed "groups" | 23:37 |
| nvz | zykotick9: I do believe I had my debian where I last used these setup to use xine backend rather than gstreamer but I know these had worked in totem on debian.. I do however typically use gxine or a xine backend | 23:37 |
| sasori | output = "sasor www-data" | 23:37 |
| sasori | "sasori www-data" <-- output | 23:37 |
| janisozaur | bastidrazor, hmm... I do belong to "sudo" and I'm running 11.10 | 23:37 |
| genii-around | sasori: So thats what you did. You ran something like: sudo usermod -G www-data without using the -a switch to append the group. Now it is the only one you belong to. | 23:38 |
| yagoo | janisozaur, sudo rules is in /etc/sudoers (fyi) | 23:38 |
| bastidrazor | janisozaur: then you've created the group or you're running some derivative of ubuntu. | 23:38 |
| sasori | genii-around: any tips/suggestions how to fix this ? | 23:38 |
| nvz | the codecs and stuff are a bit different on ubuntu than on debian it seems.. how do I go about setting up codecs for non-gstreamer players? cause I'd like to setup totem to use xine like I had on debian but normally on debian you install w32codecs not sure what to do on ubuntu | 23:39 |
| janisozaur | bastidrazor, official ubuntu image, sudo group is 27 which is lower than audio (29) which would suggest it was here from the start | 23:39 |
| janisozaur | yagoo, I'm pretty familiar with my system, thank you :) | 23:39 |
| Mitochondria | Perhaps you have a video chipset and not an actual graphics card in the notebook. It seems to cause problems with older laptops | 23:39 |
| janisozaur | bastidrazor, not that it particularly bothers me... | 23:40 |
| extehtdg | hi | 23:40 |
| bastidrazor | janisozaur: now that i look at /etc/group i see sudo as a group but its purpose is mute since the admin group supercedes it | 23:41 |
| extehtdg | what's the same of idm | 23:41 |
| genii-around | sasori: The only solution in this case is to boot to recovery mode, and then add yourself back into the right groups. Like: usermod -G -a adm, dialout, cdrom, www-data, video, plugdev, lpadmin, admin sasori | 23:41 |
| janisozaur | bastidrazor, ahh, I see. thanks for clearing it up :) | 23:41 |
| yagoo | nvz, http://wiki.debian.org/MultimediaCodecs -- it's under a different name with 64-bit ->w64codecs | 23:41 |
| sasori | genii-around: imma reboot my system now..please help through it | 23:42 |
| zykotick9 | !medibuntu | nvz | 23:42 |
| ubottu | nvz: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 23:42 |
| zykotick9 | nvz, it's medibuntu that containts w32codecs and w64codecs | 23:43 |
| Mitochondria | Mostly because Mediubuntu lets us get Restricted Codecs which allows us to play dvd's and rip them to our computers. | 23:43 |
| ResQue | how can i pipe the value of ls into vlc? | 23:43 |
| Mitochondria | Which is illegal in the US. | 23:43 |
| sasori | ok now am on the purple background color | 23:43 |
| sasori | it is asking me to choose resume,clean dpkg,failsafex,fsck,grub | 23:43 |
| DJRWolf | I just bought a laptop on a great black Friday sale and wanted to know if taking the HDD out to image it before I resize the partition to make room for Ubuntu would void the warranty? | 23:43 |
| sasori | which one to choose? | 23:43 |
| zykotick9 | DJRWolf, that's not an #ubuntu question, try ##hardware | 23:44 |
| Jeruvy | DJRWolf, no. But this isn't the place to ask those questions. You should ask your manufacture directly for real. | 23:44 |
| Mitochondria | DjrWolf, if you bought it on black friday on sale, you won't be able to return it anyways | 23:44 |
| yagoo | ResQue, easier, you can even use -> echo * | <app> .. but there must be better ways.. | 23:45 |
| yagoo | ResQue, you should make playlist files | 23:45 |
| DJRWolf | well, I have a 2nd question, is there an Ubuntu program that will do the imaging well? | 23:46 |
| atdiehm_home | I ran with unetbootin, and it completed normally, but the netbook won't boot off the stick..... | 23:46 |
| sasori | need help..i booted my machine to recovery mode, now it is asking me to choose between resume,clean,dpkg,failsafex,fsck,grub,netroot,root ...which one should i choose in order to bring back sasori in the sudoers group ? | 23:47 |
| Jeruvy | !cloning | DJRWolf | 23:47 |
| ubottu | DJRWolf: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 23:47 |
| Jeruvy | well thats a crappy factiod.. | 23:47 |
| genii-around | sasori: Failsafe | 23:49 |
| genii-around | Woops no | 23:49 |
| genii-around | sasori: root is what you want actually, apologies | 23:49 |
| kurisu_ | hi guys.... really need some help please, for the last few days flash kepps making my system hang (11.04 64) it's getting really frustrating, I've tried clearing all flash stored data, reinstalling and tried both ff and chromium... out of ideas!! any suggestions would be much appreciated, thanks | 23:50 |
| ResQue | yagoo: thanks for the reply, and i see what you are saying. but often i like to pass in lists of files and dir based on my mood, so i would get a list of mp3 like this | 23:50 |
| ResQue | yagoo: "ls | grep -i yt | sed "s/ /\\\\ /g"" | 23:50 |
| genii-around | sasori: Then you want Remount as Read/Write or similar. Then you want root again. | 23:50 |
| ResQue | yagoo: but i can not seem to pass this into vlc after | 23:50 |
| sasori | genii-around: ok i chose root..and i typed the -G -a adm stuff you typed earlier..but it says, group -a does not exists :S | 23:51 |
| ResQue | yagoo: the sed is to replace spaces with esc character "\ " | 23:51 |
| yagoo | ResQue, check the manpage? | 23:51 |
| yagoo | ResQue, if you're asking me about bash then you should ask the channel how to do a certain text format.. | 23:52 |
| genii-around | sasori: I always forget where the -a should go. You can try -Ga or put -a at the end and see if that works | 23:52 |
| genii-around | sasori: Then to see if it took properly, do: su -d "groups" sasori | 23:53 |
| genii-around | gah typos | 23:53 |
| zero_ | hey guys, trying, unsuccessfully to get an aiptek sirius (rebranded waltop) wacom tablet to work properly in 11.10. I have tried using wizardpen, as well as adding a waltop extension to the 50-wacom-conf file to no avail. Any input would be greatly appreciated | 23:53 |
| genii-around | sasori: do: su -c "groups" sasori instead, rather | 23:53 |
| zykotick9 | Jeruvy, !cloning is a great factoid for cloning an ubuntu install, but not so good for disk cloning (aka drive imagining) though. Perhaps that factoid should say something like "... for disk cloning research dd." ;) | 23:54 |
| Jeruvy | zykotick9, agreed. | 23:54 |
| sasori | genii-around: i tried usermod -aG .... OR usermod -a -G ....OR usermod -Ga ...it didn't work..the last one was usermod -Ga ..it says, group 'a" does not exists..then i typed "su -c groups sasori"..it says "sasori www-data | 23:55 |
| genii-around | sasori: Yeah hangon a sec for me to find the right usage | 23:56 |
| kurisu | >.< ok so it just crashed again... without any flash... how do I check 'crash' logs | 23:56 |
| sasori | ok | 23:56 |
| kurisu | i.e. which log? | 23:56 |
| genii-around | sasori: usermod -a -G adm,dialout,cdrom,www-data,video,plugdev,lpadmin,admin sasori ...should work | 23:57 |
| sasori | ok 1 sec..lemme try | 23:57 |
| zykotick9 | genii-around, (sasori) i believe your initial command is correct (i'd personally have given "usermod -aG ..." but i'm sure your way should work too. sasori is your username sasori? | 23:58 |
| genii-around | zykotick9: Yeah I always mess up which comes first in that command for some reason | 23:58 |
| sasori | yes it's my username..but am currently on recovery mode and logged in as root | 23:58 |
| === haji is now known as magg | ||
| genii-around | sasori: Make sure it added you to all the groups after by the: su -c "groups" sasori | 23:59 |
| zykotick9 | sasori, you might have to chroot to modify the correct passwd account? (can someone confirm/deny?) | 23:59 |
| sasori | ok, i think the last one you typed..went through @ genii-around | 23:59 |
| genii-around | zykotick9: No, the recovery boot puts you at # | 23:59 |
| sasori | imma try to reboot now | 23:59 |
