I created an ubuntu forums thread, but I'm cross posting in case anyone sees this and can help. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1887336 Basically, my networking cuts out completely for periods at a time.

[01:00] can someone help me install a printer? when i use the new printer wizard, its not finding any drivers and wont install my printer. I have a brother HL 2280DW .. brother says it has linux support including for debian/ubuntu. [01:00] I'm seeking support through multiple avenues. I'm assuming that there are people who use irc but not the ubuntu forums and vice versa. [01:01] oscalation: You're connecting it via USB?

[01:07] Ghostx562: Just as a general thing, anything that you can't lose should not be stored on only one drive. You need backups on other drives (and depending on how important it is, other physical locations). [01:07] oscalation: Yes. [01:07] Can I install updates from the Ubuntu update manager when I am on a LiveUSB session with my LiveUSB drive having persistence? [01:07] Jordan_U, any ideas on what i should try [01:08] Jordan_U,I Know, I Don't Have A Big enough drive to cover most of the stuff, its a 500gb internal and the biggest i have is 160 ext [01:08] stratos45: if it is a persistent install, yes [01:08] have a brazillian ??? [01:08] !pt | ironbits [01:08] ironbits: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para entrar no canal por favor faça "/join #ubuntu-br" sem as aspas. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, use #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. [01:08] stratos45: No. I would highly recommend you create a normal install instead of a persistant live one. [01:09] stratos45: xangua: Among other things, kernel updates will not work at all (even if they appear to have installed properly). [01:09] xangua, would it cause any problems in my next LiveUSB session? Or no problems at all. [01:09] jakupl: I Got To The Part Where I Open Fstab, But I'm Lost Now. [01:10] haha [01:10] Ghostx562: you basically need to know the UUID of the NTFS partition [01:10] Jordan_U, why is that so? That a normal install is better? [01:10] I Have The Info : /dev/sdb1: LABEL="Storage" UUID="22AA2DD8AA2DA8ED" TYPE="ntfs" [01:10] Why does /var/run, /dev/shm and /var/lock all have half my ram allocated to it? shouldn't it get split up depending on how much is being used in any given location? [01:11] I Just Don't Know What To Do Anymore. [01:11] Ghostx562: good [01:11] Ghostx562: 2 seconds. [01:11] Jakupl: I Haz to Make MountPoint? [01:12] Ghostx562: just make a directory where you want to mount the partition.. like /home/Ghostx562/windows [01:12] Ghostx562: yes sir [01:12] Its Doesn't Have Any Windows Files, Just A Bunch Of Home Movies And Pictures [01:12] stratos45: Because a persistant live install is two parts, a read only part and a read-write part which stores files that differ from the read only part. This is fine if the differences are just in things like documents stored on the Desktop, but due to the way it's implemented completely fails with kernel upgrades and likely other things as well. [01:13] stratos45: And the only advantage of a live install over a regular install is that the read only portion of a live install is smaller (compressed). [01:13] Ghostx562: Put something like this into fstab: UUID="22AA2DD8AA2DA8ED /home/Ghostx562/windows ntfs-3g [01:14] hello [01:14] Ghostx562: Put something like this into fstab: UUID="22AA2DD8AA2DA8ED /home/Ghostx562/windows ntfs-3g defaults [01:15] Ghostx562: You obviously need to change the directory to the one that you want it to mount to. [01:15] Jordan_U: Ok, thank you. [01:15] jakupl: has he gotten a mount statement to work yet? [01:15] Ok [01:15] oscalation: What version of Ubuntu are you using? Usually if proper drivers exist for linux they will be included in Ubuntu by default, but if your version of Ubuntu was released before these drivers could be integrated that might be the problem. I would be wary about installing drivers manually. Only do it as a last result and be sure you know how to undo anything you do. [01:16] Ghostx562: oh yeah, you might want to manually mount it first, to make sure it works. [01:16] Ok [01:16] 11.10 Jordan_U [01:16] i found this http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/faq_prn.html#f00090 [01:17] jakupl: Like This? http://pastebin.com/JcpJzib4 [01:17] how come System Settings > Screen > Turn off after:"Never" still makes my laptop screen turn off ater the default 10 minutes? [01:18] is it possible to install ubuntu with all the relevant updates in the CD or USB versus just installing ubuntu and connecting to the internet to download the updates (which takes up time if you are going to install ubuntu on multiple PCs) [01:18] Ghostx562: yeah it's easier to just try it. If it doesn't work, then your computer will complain and you might get the option to boot anyways. If not, then you have to boot into recovery mode and remove the line in fstab [01:18] :) [01:18] grkblood: did you set it for both modes, ac and on battery? [01:19] Ghostx562: so try to reboot now. [01:19] ok [01:19] i saved the fstab [01:19] Ghostx562: good [01:19] now do i have to make it mount? [01:19] or reboot? [01:19] don't need to reboot [01:19] melkor, i have neither option under Screen [01:19] just sudo mount -a [01:19] you can probably just "sudo mount -a" [01:19] stratos45: You can setup a local apt mirror so that you only need to go out to the internet once for each updated package. [01:20] melkor, its just: "Turn off after: Never" [01:20] oh I didn't know about mount -a [01:20] Ghostx562 so try that first [01:20] Ghostx562 sudo mount -a [01:21] yeah i see my drive in the taskbar thing [01:21] the "dock" [01:21] grkblood: I am using gnome 2 and I got System->Preferences->power management. [01:21] Jordan_U: sorry, but what is "apt"? [01:21] go to /home/ghost/Storage [01:21] are the files there? [01:21] melkor, yes, ive set power management as well [01:22] grkblood: for both battery and ac? [01:22] jakupl: yes [01:22] melkor, yes, they are both set to "Don't suspend" [01:22] Ghostx562: yey. job done [01:22] Ghostx562, check your permissions on it [01:22] Ghostx562: Try if you can create a text file [01:23] ok [01:23] question for you guys -- if i have a symlinked directory, and cd into it, is there a way to make the SOURCE directory my cwd? so that if i then were to `cd ..`, it would go one directory above the source of the symlink, as opposed to my original directory. not sure if i'm being clear or not. [01:23] on the drive right? [01:23] melkor, http://i41.tinypic.com/9iwn4z.png [01:23] Jordan_U, tried this http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/faq_prn.html#f00090 [01:23] installed drivers for dcp1000, printer wont print [01:23] yes Ghostx562 [01:23] Ghostx562: yes.. in /home/ghost/Storage [01:23] ok [01:24] noob here srry [01:24] grkblood: too new for me. Do you have one above all settings? [01:24] stratos45: apt is the system that deals with installing and updating packages. Right now apt is looking for new packages from somewhere like http://archive.ubuntu.com, you could instead configure apt to look for packages on a local (within your house) server. That server itself would go out to archive.ubuntu.com, but only once per machine that asks for the same file (package). [01:24] 1 sec [01:24] Ghostx562: no prob. editing fstab for the first time is something you will remember with great joy ;-) [01:24] disconnect [01:24] It Saved In The Directory [01:25] Ghostx562: and tears in your eyes [01:25] Jakupl: Thanks lol [01:25] melkor, no [01:25] Jordan_U: Ok, I will give it a try. Thanks for the help! Cheers. [01:25] stratos45: If you don't know what apt is yet though, this type of project is probably beyond what you'd want to try until you get more experience. [01:25] jakupl: it saved [01:25] BTW, It Says Root Is Owner [01:25] under the permissions tab [01:25] Ghostx562: ah ok [01:25] grkblood: what DE are you using? [01:25] go to terminal [01:26] ok [01:26] DE? [01:26] ubuntu is deb not rpm right? [01:26] oscalation: Correct. [01:26] melkor, what is DE? [01:26] desktop environment? [01:26] desktop environment. [01:26] gnome 3 [01:26] Jordan_U: talking about experience, do you have any suggestion on where I could get some aside from the official documentation in the website? [01:26] unity [01:26] do "cd /home/ghost/Storage" [01:27] jakupl: ok [01:27] Ghostx562: without the quotes [01:27] !manual | stratos45 [01:27] stratos45: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents.

[01:55] Ghostx562: yes [01:55] Drone4four: yeah I looked through that. [01:56] Have you looked through your partitions to find the 32bit kernel? [01:56] Jakupl: since i download torrents onto the external drive, do i have to tell transmission to download into /home/ghost/Storage? [01:56] Ghostx562: yes [01:56] Ghostx562: I think so. [01:56] Ok Will Do. [01:57] in my humble opinion, my problem is a matter of setting /dev/sda7 as bootable instead of /dev/sda1 [01:57] jakupl: i can close terminal?

[02:04] Drone4four: I just type file nameoffile [02:04] Drone4four: it will tell you what the file is, if it is 32bit it tells you. [02:05] i hade to sound so helpless, but i really don't know what you mean [02:05] Drone4four: they're not really saved as 32bit though, it is how they are compiled so it needs to be a library or something.

[02:29] there should be a tab or a button for task, long time since i used thunderbird uzr007 [02:30] on 11.10 click the top tab/button [02:30] and type thunderbird [02:30] you can open it there or drag it down to the dock and its stays there [02:31] has anyone else using a combination of oneiric and open source ati drivers experienced any graphical issues on boot? for me a lot of times, there will be artifacts (not too concerned) before lightdm shows, and occasionally there is a quick flash of a 'screenshot' from a previous session (very concerned). the card is rv770 (radeon hd 4850) [02:35] hrm [02:35] grub-install seems to have installed grub [02:35] but not any config? How is this generated? [02:35] having an issue when authenticating after getting notice of updates, After typying my passwd the authentication window doesn't go away even though it does authenticate me [02:35] MikeH, sudo update-grub will generate /boot/grub/grub.cfg for you [02:36] naptastic, any other steps from there? [02:36] i give up [02:36] Do I need to run grub or something to load the new config, or is this defunct in grub2? [02:36] DOES ANYBODY KNOW A GOOD CALENDAR FOR UBUNTU (NO EVOLUTION) [02:36] MikeH, less /boot/grub/grub.cfg to make sure it says what you think it should say? [02:37] nice unetbootin lets you select a kernel. [02:37] !caps | uzr007 [02:37] uzr007: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [02:37] MikeH, take a look here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275 [02:37] MikeH, the config gets read on boot, so no, update-grub is all you need to do. [02:37] uzr007, if you get no response, it just means no one knows the answer to your question. We're not ignoring you. [02:37] Sorry [02:40] uzr007: Sunbird [02:40] jakupl: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/ === max is now known as Guest86378 [02:40] jakupl, it's not compatible with ubuntu 11.10 [02:42] uzr007: have you triend rainlendar? http://www.rainlendar.net/cms/index.php [02:43] uzr007: what about Lightning [02:43] ? [02:43] uzr007: why do you say it is not compatible? [02:43] melkor, because when I try to install addon i get the message which says its not compatible [02:44] uzr007: calendar.google.com [02:44] uzr007, if you extract that sunbird-1.0b1.tar.bz2 file you download... it should have a file in it called sunbird that you can just execute [02:44] uzr007: okay so you are trying to install the add on to thunderbird? [02:44] uzr007, i don't think it's in the repos though [02:45] melkor, well I was trying to install it manually first [02:45] omg the suspend to disk and suspend to ram is totally broken [02:45] i couldnot figure it out [02:45] then I tried addon [02:45] worked neither [02:45] even telling my box to shut down causes a reboot [02:45] wth? [02:45] uzr007: http://brizoma.wordpress.com/2010/05/04/sunbird-and-lightning-removed-from-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx/ [02:46] anybody know why? [02:46] i'm pretty new to compiling [02:46] uzr007: you don't compile anything, mozilla already gives you the binary, just extract it and run it [02:47] xangua, I extracted the file I don't know how to run it [02:47] uzr007: When you have the .tar.bz file you should have a readme in there. [02:47] lightning is on my lucid repository melkor uzr007 but not on oneiric it looks, lightning is on oneiric ;) [02:47] melkor: you can also download lightning from thunderbird addon tab [02:47] uzr007: see above ;) [02:48] xangua: thanks. [02:48] hey, just reinstalled ubuntu on a new ssd drive [02:48] just having trouble exploring the network? [02:48] Ubuntu Desktop 10.10 Samba share -> I installed it, open it up, asks for a password, I enter it, and it goes away and does nothing. [02:48] Does this every time [02:49] anyone know hwat's going on? or have a better solution for sharing across a windows network from an ubuntu desktop home server? [02:49] screw this [02:49] i bet windows 7 goes to sleep properly [02:49] Macer: You seem frustrated. [02:49] reasons like this are why linux will never be mainstream in comparison to closed operating systems [02:49] ACPI is a bit tricky on some laptops, what're you running for hardware? [02:50] it is a desktop [02:50] xangua, if you have your map in downloads how do you get ./compile [02:50] ...or you can throw a hissy fit. Nevermind. [02:50] tan s2881 [02:50] tyan [02:50] I'm sorry i just don't know how to [02:50] Macer: suspend's usually suck. You might need to google your computer and linux suspend to see if other people have gotten it to work. [02:50] and I really want to find out [02:50] melkor: i have been doing that for over an hour [02:50] hmm, getting stuck exploring the network? [02:50] what should i do? [02:50] fail. [02:50] the firewall is off [02:50] Macer, The computer I'm on right now is the only computer I've ever had for which Linux suspend has ever worked, and it's only some of the time. [02:51] Macer: have you found other people with the same problem? [02:51] even shutting down the system causes a reboot [02:51] SHUTTING DOWN [02:51] ie: turn off [02:51] :) [02:51] Macer: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:51] zzz [02:51] Macer, What kind of machine (specifically, what motherboard) is this? [02:52] tyan s2881 [02:52] Sorry; I see you said that already [02:53] Macer, that's a sweet motherboard!! The typical use case for such a sytem probably doesn't include turning it off or suspending though. [02:53] honestly. never mind. i honestly dont have time to fiddle with something that has been beoken in linux for years ;) i will just put windows on it. it is a shame because i really love kubuntu [02:53] but i need the suspend to work [02:54] Macer: I've had your same problem for years now on my box, but strangely enough it worked on my laptop after enabling ACPI [02:54] Macer: you can try another kernel too if you like. [02:55] melkor: well.. that is even more of a pain. especially if i am forced to build one [02:55] and not even know if it will work [02:55] Macer, well I'mma leave right now to go play TF2... on Windows. So take all this with some salt. ;-) [02:55] lol [02:55] sounds like a plan [02:55] Take care man. Good luck. [02:55] unity has dual monitor support? [02:56] but seriously. linux needs to get its act together when it comes to stuff like this [02:56] Is it normal for mdadm to do a resync immediately after a fresh install with no data on the drive? [02:56] why can windows easily work with hibernating all machines but linux cant seem to get it right across different systems? [02:57] Macer: hibernate/suspend are pretty low on the list. Especially when you get to hardware a lot of people don't have. [02:58] melkor: that doesnt explain why windows manages to do it so easily. what do they know that linux devs dont when it comes to power states? [02:58] Macer: It is a community effort, and maybe nobody has come across this problem with your specific configuration. There are ways to debug and figure it out and essentially help the community. [02:58] Macer: they do not do it easily. [02:58] u have never seen a system that windows has failed to suspend [02:58] u/i [02:58] Macer: And they paid a lot of good money for that to happen. [02:59] Does anyone help me xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default? [02:59] i am sure the code is similar across the board [02:59] Macer: then do something about it. [02:59] there are probably 5 different ways mboards handle it [02:59] hm [02:59] and windows detects and changes to adapt to the particular board [03:00] melkor: i would but the code is such an absolute mess ;) [03:00] blah. thanks anyways. [03:00] i have to go === max is now known as Guest52709 [03:02] ubuntu is starting to annoy me, I can't run mysql workbench in ubuntu 11.10, I have to use a fedora virtual machine to run it. [03:03] how ridiculous is that? And when you report the bug, they either don't listen to you or go on the defensive and say "why don't you fix it" [03:04] Macer, try uswsusp deb, it contains s2disk and s2ram commands that work for me. [03:07] !ot [03:07] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [03:07] Macer, look at this:ftp://98.213.59.214/pub/temp/suspend_fix.txt [03:07] Macer: maybe you changed an alias [03:07] wow, ibus sucks. [03:08] Hi, I have the following problem: sometimes, the context menu that appears when I right click somewhere doesn't disappear when it is supposed to. I get stuck with a rectangle that displays the pixels that were under it when it was created, that is always on top and displayed on all the desktops. Is there a way to get rid of these rectangles? Because the only solution I have found to work for now is to logout and log back in, which is [03:08] extremely inconvenient when something is running. [03:08] suddenly every mounted volume is being detected as a READ-ONLY file system. my FAT32 USB drive, NTFS External Hardisk and my other NTFS partitions. Is this an issue with the latest UBUNTU 11.10 upgrade ?? [03:08] Ubuntu Desktop 10.10 Samba share -> I installed it, open it up, asks for a password, I enter it, and it goes away and does nothing. [03:08] Does this every time [03:08] anyone know hwat's going on? or have a better solution for sharing across a windows network from an ubuntu desktop home server? [03:09] modulexploited, i would verify that you are using the fuse driver for the ntfs drives and not the in kernel ntfs driver [03:09] ziggyfish: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=62347 has workarounds, a patch and a ppa with a patched build you could try [03:09] escott: how do I verify ? [03:10] sharpK if it's just for occasional file transfers just use SCP or SFTP [03:10] modulexploited, type "mount" at a command line (no options) and it will list what is mounted and with what filesystem [03:11] 10n can scp or sftp be used to share/stream video/music/and modify files? [03:11] 10n : and would it be easily accessible from various windows computers? [03:11] sharpK: yes, although there are other options. [03:11] melkor: are any alternatives to SCP or SFTP better for these purposes? [03:12] it's basically a small home server [03:12] escott: this is the result : http://pastebin.com/FEcMiBQb [03:12] sharpK: I have used ssh/scp with sshfs which makes a remote hard drive look like a local one. [03:12] sharpK: You might want to google 'ubuntu media server' [03:13] sharpK: How will people be accessing the files? [03:13] !google [03:13] While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [03:13] modulexploited, so sdb2 is mounted wrong. ntfs is the in kernel driver which is ro. you want /dev/sda2 on /media/WIN7 type fuseblk [03:13] modulexploited, did you put an entry in your fstab? [03:14] trism: unfortunately those work arrounds don't work [03:14] Phr3d13: ... I don't think that was applicable here. [03:14] sharpK another alternative is nfs although it can be a bit of a pain to get the client working on Windows [03:14] Is there a way in 11.10 to "alt-tab" (app-switch) between apps only on the current workspace? [03:14] melkor: There are basically 4 or so windows computers on the network, I have a 5th computer with ubuntu installed and want it to act as a home server so that the windwos computers can stream media/music off of it, store (hopefully incremental) backups and other files, among other home server functions... [03:14] No I did not do anything.. It was all working fine a couple of hours ago.. I upgraded using "apt-get upgrade" and restarted the machine. And thats all.. [03:15] escott: No I did not do anything.. It was all working fine a couple of hours ago.. I upgraded using "apt-get upgrade" and restarted the machine. And thats all.. [03:15] sharpK: There is samba, which lets you share a drive as on a windows network. [03:15] I do, you should have googled it and then pasted him a link [03:15] melkor: right, I just installed it, and like i said above, it opens up, asks for a password, I enter it, and it goes away [03:15] modulexploited, make sure ntfs-3g is installed. im not sure what would cause this, but its why you are not able to write to the ntfs drives [03:15] melkor: is it possible that samba is bugged on 10.10? [03:16] sharpK: what do you mean? It should just start the samba service and then other computers can access your computer. [03:17] They can see the ubuntu computer, but windows has an error when trying to access a shared folder on the server [03:17] thought there might be some settings that need to be twaekewd [03:17] but don't know how to access em [03:17] sharpK, there is a gui for samba config you might want to look at [03:17] sharpK: what is the windows computer error? [03:17] !samba | sharpK [03:17] sharpK: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [03:17] trism: fedora has a package for it, that I don't need to download from a the oracle site [03:18] melkor: windows cannot access \\Server\share --- check the spelling of the name...blahblah... [03:18] escott: I will check that out, thanks [03:18] sharpK: If you haven't configured it yet, you might not have a directory available. [03:18] melkor: I'll read up and look at it [03:20] sharpK: did you reboot after to unstalled samba? [03:20] ziggyfish: can't remember it was yesterday, but I'll give it a go [03:21] sharpK: the other question is are you sharing any folders? [03:21] jakupl, this is one final question [03:21] uzr007: yeah? [03:22] jakupl, I have downloaded this sundbird folder and extracted it in downloads file [03:22] ziggyfish: yes, I have a folder on the desktop I shared [03:22] escott: I am a little confused with this.. I am going to restart the laptop. i will get back into the channel in a bit. [03:22] but like I said, windows has an error trying toa acces it [03:22] jakupl, how do I do ./configure [03:22] ? [03:22] it can see it, but gives me an error (I described it above) [03:23] jakupl, I get the message no such a directory [03:23] you have to cd into the folder [03:23] jakupl, cd? what do you mean? [03:23] Sometimes, the context menu that appears when I right click somewhere doesn't disappear when it is supposed to. There remains a rectangle that displays the pixels that were under it when it was created, that is always on top and displayed on all the desktops. Is there a way to get rid of these rectangles? The only solution I have found to work for now is to logout and log back in. [03:23] Change Directory [03:24] jakupl, you mean, I should place that folder another place? [03:24] How do I get 11.10 to login using the classic gnome2 desktop [03:24] so command is "cd Downloads/Sonbird" [03:24] uzr007, if this is still sunbird issue, try 'cd /path/to/sunbird', then just './sunbird'... do it in a terminal window [03:24] or whatever the folder is called [03:24] no [03:24] in terminal [03:24] kcw45, thank you :-) [03:24] I have a samba server that I can write to on my windows machine, when logging into the server through ubuntu I cannot write to the directory. It can't be a permission issue as all windows PC with the same login can access and create folders (4 other windows pc's). Is it possible that linux is logging in as a guest and not the writable user? [03:25] kcw45, no such file or directory [03:25] I'm migrating my email server (postfix, dovecot) from an old debian box to a new Ubuntu box. But Ubuntu doesn't seem to do dovecot... what are people using these days for an imap service? [03:26] I'm using maildir. [03:26] uzr007, alright, hang on a sec === ptheberge_ is now known as ptheberge [03:28] Is there a way to make the gnome2 enviroment my default login? [03:30] rchilso1: shouldn't it save between sessions? [03:31] I just installed and only have unity to choose from [03:31] Good Day everybody! [03:31] rchilso1: the current version? (11.10)? [03:31] I cannot find where to switch it at. [03:32] yes version 11.10 [03:32] rchilso1: 11.10 doesn't have gnome2. [03:32] kk thanks [03:33] heya... I'm having some gnarly problems with 11.10 and my macbook pro's graphics, can anyone lend a hand? [03:34] sgentle: whats the issue? [03:34] escott: i restarted the machine just to see if it mounts properly this time. [03:35] update manager says that it configuring linux-image-3.0.0-13-generic, but has come to a halt -- if i look at details i can see that there is a question "rated for you" with a y or n alongside -- i've tried to see the rest of the question, but the usual back arrow doesn't work -- now i've lost the question and the ability to answer -- i've never seen this before -- the cancel button is... [03:35] ...inactive -- is it okay to kill the update manager process? [03:35] escott: I was trying to install ntfs-3g. It promts to remove ntfsprogs, if I install that.. Is that ok ? [03:35] I'm trying to boot from the livecd, but I get graphical glitches everywhere [03:36] !notunity | rchilso1 [03:36] rchilso1: 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 [03:36] and it halts on a messed up version of the boot logo [03:36] I tried nomodeset, which works in the sense that it boots [03:36] but I get no graphics [03:36] sgentle: run memtest to be sure thats ok? [03:36] if I try to startx, I get "vbios address 0xd00 out of range" [03:37] I'll give it a crack, but I've been running os x and windows without issue on the same machine for a while [03:37] sgentle: also check on-board graphics settings, eg: if you added a card but on-board is still on? [03:38] i only suggest memtest because it's easy and can't hurt. never know. [03:38] yeah, absolutely - I wouldn't be surprised at this point [03:39] it's a macbok pro, so in a sense it has on-board and discrete graphics by design :/ [03:39] Sometimes, the context menu that appears when I right click somewhere doesn't disappear when it is supposed to. There remains a rectangle that displays the pixels that were under it when it was created, that is always on top and displayed on all the desktops. Is there a way to get rid of these rectangles? The only solution I have found to work for now is to logout and log back in. === martin_ is now known as bljspg === bljspg is now known as martin_ [03:40] Nautilus: All my mount volumes (NTFS other partitions and external Hard Disks) are being recognized as read-only file systems after an upgrade. I am using Ubuntu 11.10. Any thoughts.. ? [03:41] when sharing a folder using samba share, do I just share it and set the group permission to sambashare? [03:41] or do I not even need to bother with that? [03:41] please help!! how to change gnome logging window's title? it always show (null)... [03:41] modulexploited, i guess. im not sure what ntfsprogs does [03:42] Trying to set "do nothing" while laptop lid is closed. but that doesn't seem to work. I'm on 11.04. any clue? [03:42] geohacker: are you using gnome3/unity? [03:42] modulexploited, supposedly ntfsprogs was merged with ntfs-3g i think you want the 3g [03:43] Is vfat fat32? [03:43] melkor, gnome2. I chose default from the startup. [03:43] any one help me with gnome3's logging window title? [03:43] geohacker: are you using a second monitor? [03:43] hi, I want to know if 11,04 comes with IRC because there is no IRC with 10.04 and I _need_ to have it for this "project". (thanks) [03:43] escott: Ok. I am installing ntfs-3g [03:43] melkor, yes. but not connected right now. [03:44] melkor, yes vfat is generic fat and includes just about everything except exfat [03:44] how secure is the default encrypted drive format option in ubuntu? like, for real security should I be looking at truecrypt? [03:44] hm, I'm having trouble getting memtest to go [03:44] geohacker: mine always goes dark when I close the lid, but that is good I think. [03:44] from what I've read the efi version of grub doesn't support it [03:44] escott: aaah ! Thank you very much. That fixed the problem [03:44] Do you guys know anything about dnsmasq? [03:45] melkor, but when using a external monitor, it is not. I just want to shut the laptop lid and work out of the external display. [03:45] escott: I am trying to boot from a usb drive and I don't know if I should try to reformat it. [03:45] geohacker: Just move your mouse and it will come back on. [03:45] Nautilus: nevermind. escott: helped me fix it. [03:45] melkor, when I close the lid, it goes blank. nothing will happen if I move the mouse :) [03:46] geohacker: I haven't found a way that it doesn't go black, but moving the mouse makes it work as expected. It even goes black if I turn off the lid. [03:46] modulee: cool... no clue about that here ;) [03:46] thank you all [03:46] geohacker: I don't know then, did you move the mouse in your second monitor (if it matters). [03:46] I think I'll log off [03:46] thanks once again [03:46] Does 11.04 have an IRC client in it and if so which one? [03:46] melkor, are you saying that if we close the lid while connected to a external display and move the mouse it will show up? [03:47] webchat.freenode.net :D [03:47] oh, interesting, since nobody seemed to have an answer to my problem, I was closing my windows one by one, and when I closed chromium, the always-on-top rectangles disappeared! So it's more a chromium bug maybe... [03:47] scottj, the encryption should be fine for most purposes. the main concern is that it makes clear what is and what is not encrypted, and there is no possibility of a secret encrypted partition. also you have to worry about moving files to the non-encrypted partitions or being swapped out [03:48] melkor, i wasnt following all your questions but the liveusb process should format the disk as needed [03:49] when sharing a folder using samba share, do I just share it and set the group permission to sambashare? [03:49] or do I not even need to bother with that? [03:49] escott it seems to work correctly but then I start into my normal grub. [03:50] melkor, so whats the question [03:50] escott: and I did check the bios to mak sure I am booting from a usb device first. [03:50] escott: I cannot boot from my usb device. [03:50] escott: ok, the nice thing is I didn't have to install anything or configure anything. if there were like a super simple process for something better I'd do that but probably not worth my effort to read/configure very much. [03:51] can ubuntu read a Mac hard drive? [03:51] tripelb: yes. [03:51] tripelb, if journaling is disabled it is supposedly possible [03:51] can ubuntu write on a Mac hard drive? [03:51] tripelb, sorry my comment was for writing not reading [03:52] wait yes and "supposedly possible" are two different things melkor escott [03:52] ah, melkor escott. Well I can back up then, for sure. [03:52] tripelb: in the purest sense of can, then yes. But there are a lot of mac file systems if I'm not mistaken. [03:52] Is there a guide to using truecrypt with grub2? [03:53] melkor, so what happens when it fails to boot. what is the last thing you see [03:53] escott: it goes to my normal grub. [03:54] melkor, what kind of boot option does it have for the usb [03:54] melkor, in the bios that is [03:54] escott: actually it looks like it didn't edit my grub.cfg because there wasn't a usb option. [03:55] alright, so here's a bizarre twist [03:55] ah, melkor escott. But to restore I will need to "disable journalling" (whatever that is - on which system will the journaling need to be disabled? ubuntu or mac? ---> which Mac OS. To read (to back up the HD before a clean install) I will use a liveCD reading a Tiger OSX10,4 HD --- after the install I will want to write on a Snow Leopard HD OSX10.5 <--- Makes me mad that Apple deliberately maes the Macbook stupid. [03:55] if I boot with only-ubiquity nomodeset, x starts okay [03:55] anyone know if you can buy a tablet 3g sim and stick it in a laptop usb 3g data card and get $20/mo 3g on your laptop? [03:55] s/maes/makes/ [03:56] tripelb, on the mac you have to do some weird things to disable journalling if you want to write. you probably dont want to disable journaling though [03:56] escott: external media, and then it lets me select my usb device. [03:56] melkor, if you have multiple usb ports it might be that you need to try a different one [03:56] escott: I'm going to try rebooting again. [03:56] so why do you suppose only-ubiquity would work when a normal boot doesn't? [03:57] sgentle, probably has more to do with nomodeset [03:58] but that's the strange thing [03:58] x won't start with nomodeset [04:00] what ever happened to the beanie hats in the swag (gotta keep my ears worm in style) [04:00] sgentle, unity must not be falling back to unity-2d properly [04:01] hm [04:01] escott. I'm stuck with a 1T HD written as ext4 (Ubuntu10.4) from my Dell that failed. Now I have a Macbook with a full 72 G HD. So I will be out to lunch on putting my data, mostly media, back on the Mac. [04:01] that would cause x to not start at all? [04:01] is there a way to test that? like, force unity-2d? [04:02] sgentle, well x would start but you wouldn't have a usable gui. you could jump to tty1 and export DISPLAY=:0 and then try to unity --replace [04:02] sgentle, except im not sure what the livecd username is [04:03] just ubuntu [04:03] but the behaviour I'm seeing is that x won't start at all without only-ubiquity [04:03] kcw45, hi mate [04:03] I have one problem more. [04:04] when using samaba share, do I have to issue terminal commands to folders in order to be able to share them on a network with windwows computers, or should simply right clicking and sharing the folder work after samba is installed? [04:04] Does Ubuntu 11.04 have a liveCD IRC client. I would really like to be able to ask in here if anything goes wrong while I am trying to transfer the data. [04:05] kcw45, yessir? [04:05] sgentle, saying that "x won't start" without only-ubiquity is not true. ubiquity relies upon X it just doesn't have a window manager or session manager [04:05] yep, that's why I'm very confused [04:06] uzr007, yessir? [04:06] kcw45, remember that command ./sunbird? [04:06] as in, without only-ubiquity I only get a terminal, and if I type "sudo startx" it bails with some V_BIOS error [04:06] kcw45, I have to run it trough terminal every time I wan to run sunbird [04:07] uzr007, yes... there are ways to ease that [04:07] kcw45, how? :) [04:19] I did run update manager and during the process showed "not all update is not possible",I select close.Now I cannot install any soft,cannot run update mangr. [04:20] mathews, asks about dpkg? [04:20] wonder if anyone can help me get my vpn to work? [04:21] i can connect and set up tap0 with openvpn, but no internet after that [04:21] cipherboy, I did not get u [04:21] mathews: have you tried running apt-get update, and/or dpkg --configure -a? [04:22] cipherboy, Ya,I added one ppa of gnome and typed upgrade in the terminal [04:23] mathews: did it failewith an error? [04:23] *fail with [04:24] cipherboy, it said something downloaded or added like that,after that I ran the update manager [04:25] cipherboy, after restart everything changed,like windows button missing,programs on the launcher missing..... [04:25] Oh. What gnome ppa did you add? gnome3? [04:25] And what version of Ubuntu? (sorry, haven't been following channel) [04:27] cipherboy, 11.04, the ppa is ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3 [04:27] this channel not shows all the texts of what we entered [04:28] Found it, I had the boot options switched in the bios, but that didn't do anything I have to hit esc when it boots and I get a boot option window. [04:29] 早啊各位~ [04:29] anyone ever set up a vpntunnel.se? [04:30] mathews: generally that ppa doesn't work for upgrading from gnome2 to gnome3 [04:30] having major frustrations here [04:30] 大家的英文都真好啊，都没人说汉语呢。。。。 [04:30] cipherboy, that ppa is in the omg page and for installing the gnome browser [04:33] !cn [04:33] 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [04:33] Building a deb for ubuntu was much easier than an rpm for Fedora [04:37] Whats a good program to rip audio cds, I use audacious to play music but I dont think it rips? [04:38] I'm trying to get an Apple ImageWriter II working in 11.10 with a Keyspan USB-28XB USB-to-Serial adapter. Adapter is working (/dev/ttyUSB0 and /dev/ttyUSB1 show up) and I can add the printer via CUPS with the iwhi driver and test pages come out fine. Thing is: I don't want that driver, I just want *plain text* - that is, just send the characters out to the printer. Can't figure that bit out.

[06:22] I assumed a bad drive wouldn't show up at all. Is that not true? [06:22] i think so [06:22] the F/W of the drive will make it show up but possibly the read head is bad? [06:23] say im no exspert this is pure speculation [06:23] * jadon bows to Pici [06:23] interesting. Is there any way to check this? [06:23] say like i said boot a live disk and if it boots [06:24] say then something in your OS install broke [06:24] the reason im saying say as a prefix is due to being in a gameserver console to long [06:25] coolstar: how would the album artwork cause my ipod to crash [06:25] hey what is the command again which tells dpkg to use my custom permissions and owership for a files / directories that are owned to a package?

[06:28] How get two unity launcher for two displays? [06:28] i abhor unity [06:29] killown: unity is extremely unconfigurable, use gnome fallback imo :) [06:29] although the new gnome vers is also unconfigurable I find :\ need to fix that [06:29] hi all [06:29] hi poyntz! [06:29] is there any reason why skype isn't in the default repository for oneiric? [06:29] how are things phix ? [06:30] poyntz: because skype is a non-free proprietary software [06:30] poyntz: non-free in the ubuntu sense of the word :) [06:30] phix what are you running? [06:30] jadon: gnome fallback [06:30] phix: it's free unless you call people [06:30] - on their phones [06:30] poyntz: no the software doesn't meet Ubuntu's criteria for free :) [06:30] ahh [06:30] poyntz: it free of cost, but not free software [06:31] poyntz: skype probably wants to charge people for bundeling it in their OS or some BS [06:31] ohh [06:31] you mean open source? [06:31] ya [06:31] poyntz: just get the deb package from their site and install it manually using dpkg [06:31] will do [06:31] well skype is now owned by M$ [06:31] poyntz: or better yet don't use skype, use gtalk or setup a asterisk server and use empathy which comes with ubuntu [06:31] oneric looks great whoever helped develop it [06:31] jadon: oh I didnt know that [06:32] phix: is gtalk a gnome app? [06:32] oneiric annoys me in some areas, one being unity [06:32] poyntz: google talk [06:32] it is a chat and voice protocol [06:32] how's the video on that? [06:32] ya funny story right after M$ bought skype it almost broke completely [06:32] poyntz: I have heard no complaints but I dont use the video feature [06:32] is it jscript, java,? [06:33] phix: ah [06:33] jadon: haha, like anythig M$ has bought and developed ontop of ;) [06:33] i switched back to windows so i could use skype :P [06:33] ? [06:33] it works on ubuntu [06:33] poyntz: ummm C I think [06:33] poyntz: it does [06:33] poyntz: you can use empathy to do it [06:33] phix: i mean the client side [06:33] yeah C [06:33] phix: like, what's stored on the client side? [06:34] phix: so tru although you have to give them credit for AoE II [06:34] C libraries, executables and icons [06:34] phix: so C can be dynamic? [06:34] jadon: meh, I will do no such thing :P [06:34] poyntz: what are you on about? :) [06:34] and inserted in webpages now? [06:34] C is a programming language [06:35] i know [06:35] there is an installer for it if that is what you mean [06:35] but, what's the gtalk gui? [06:35] jscript? [06:35] empathy [06:35] C and GTK [06:35] ah [06:36] it is a gnome based app [06:36] oh :P [06:36] i'm on kde [06:36] not sure if the gnome libraries are installed by default [06:36] there is probably kde version for it too [06:36] poyntz: you using ubuntu or kubuntu? [06:36] kubuntu [06:36] ok, just google it :) [06:36] hello [06:37] but minus kde, same sort of thing ;) [06:37] http://www.google.com/talk/otherclients.html [06:37] can someone help me to get java working properly please ? [06:37] hmmm looks like I was wrong [06:37] imho the GUI is just sexier for kde than gnome [06:38] google talk is nice but does it do video? [06:38] poyntz: ok there is a web browser plugin that does the video part of it [06:38] poyntz: http://www.google.com/talk/ [06:38] phix: it also does the audio and landline calls [06:39] coolstar: correct [06:39] yeah but that means you have to be on gmail to do video chat though i didn't like that [06:39] poyntz: :) i hope that helped [06:39] slower or faster than skype? [06:39] and better or reduced video quality? [06:39] phix: aww come on you never played it? [06:39] Pauluntu: you have to be on skype to use skype chat, I much like being a gmail member than a skype member :) [06:40] i'm both :P [06:40] jadon: nup [06:40] but yaa [06:40] poyntz: I Have set it up once for a client but I never tested the video part of it [06:40] phix: basicly M$ did it right [06:40] poyntz: just TIAS (Try It And See) [06:40] poyntz: you can be the judge :) [06:41] but there is a skype ubuntu client, I have installed it before [06:41] phix: haha. one day. thanks for the tip :) [06:41] Hi i have a problem with java on Ubuntu 11.10 when i go onto chat the applet loads and then when logging in it just sits there doing nothing, any idea how to fix this please ? [06:41] phix, true but i prefer a stand alone application instead of having to run through the web browser. but doesn't matter when i used it a few days ago the video kept crashing on gmail so i didn't have a choice i switched back to windows until these desktop wars with gnome3 end [06:42] rainbowwarrior, idk about your situation but when i was trying to play pogo it wouldn't work with openjdk6 i had to uninstall it and install the real oracle java for java stuff to work [06:43] ok il try that thankyou Pauluntu [06:44] unity question: is there a way to cycle between tasks just on one workspace? Also, is there a way to more directly choose one window out of several windows of the same application, without having to look at the pictures of each window? [06:44] rainbowwarrior: I am working on fixing some java problems as we speak [06:45] rainbowwarrior: I found the easiest way is to install the sun/oracle verison, I have a repo if you want it, from PPA [06:46] cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ferramroberto-java-oneiric.list [06:46] deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ferramroberto/java/ubuntu oneiric main [06:46] just google it to find the command to install the keys and what not [06:47] when im bored i cat jpegs [06:47] then i cat /cat [06:48] jadon: I used to cat them to /dev/dsp in the good old days [06:48] catting them to /dev/console was also fun [06:48] what did that do? [06:48] anyone familiar with kvm? [06:49] pconwell: I prefer Virtualbox or VMware depending on the OS installed [06:49] phix: you should install sl [06:49] Virtualbox for linux guest, and VMware for Windows [06:49] yeah, really, I'm just trying to see if my processor supports virtualization [06:49] what CPU? [06:50] er.. one sec [06:50] Intel E7230 === Dan is now known as Guest71850 [06:50] how do you reorder items in the unity launcher? [06:50] I googled it and googled it, but found nothing.. the 7220 does, so I assume it does too [06:51] ill check [06:51] coolstar: long clikc [06:51] 1 sec [06:51] pconwell: thx [06:51] What is the programming channel? [06:51] (C++) [06:52] pconwell: whats your cpu called (core2 etc) [06:52] well, here is what is confusing me: I'm looking at the community documentation https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/Installation [06:52] pconwell: I am! [06:52] jadon: I'm not 100% sure, it's an old server I bought off ebay [06:53] is it on? [06:53] yes [06:53] just google it [06:53] whats it running? [06:53] ubuntu server 11.04 [06:53] pconwell: what are you tying to do with KVM? [06:53] pconwell: cat /proc/cpuinfo will tell you [06:53] phix: nothing particlarly with kvm, just trying to find out if the server supports virtualization... [06:53] pconwell: you need motherboard support as well [06:54] pconwell: does it have GUI? [06:54] phix: right [06:54] jadon: no [06:54] ah [06:54] Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 3.00GHz [06:54] two cores [06:54] pconwell: look for vmx flag I think it is [06:54] or vme [06:55] yup - vme [06:55] and vmx [06:55] oh pentium D, I dont think that had virt support, it was the core 2 duos that started with it [06:55] ok ignore me :) [06:55] if oyu have the flag then it is supported [06:55] Xen / KVM, Virtualbox and vmware supports it [06:55] pconwell: less /proc/cpuinfo [06:56] Okay, that's what I thought, but I'm a little confused because the community doc says look for "Your CPU supports KVM" for support [06:56] jadon: too late ;P [06:56] whats that give [06:56] yes i want to see the full output [06:56] jadon: that gives info about your cpu [06:56] jadon: that is what cat does [06:56] less just pages it for you [06:56] jadon: okay, what do you want me to do with it? [06:56] lol i didnt read that part i was googleing [06:56] paste it in [06:56] hehe [06:56] or pm it to me [06:57] paste what in? [06:57] one sec [06:57] cat /proc/cpuinfo | wc -l [06:57] 200 [06:57] 200 lines of stuff on my 8 cores :) [06:57] So I coded an app, and i'm having weird issues regarding unity. [06:58] coolstar: continue [06:58] is it opengl app? [06:58] no [06:58] its a web browser [06:58] http://pastebin.com/bSwRaEE6 [06:58] so, new trick my computer is doing. If I open rhythmbox, my sansa player automatically unmounts. If I open banshee, its fine. LOL!?!?!?!?!?! [06:58] coolstar: you created a web browser? or it is a web based app? [06:58] phix: I put all the menu items into 1 icon at the right of the toolbar (like chrome) [06:58] jadon: the "sudo kvm-ok" part at the bottom is what is confusing me [06:58] thanks all [06:58] phix: its a browser [06:59] hello everyone ,i have meet the problem when i install the nginx from the source , my host is ubuntu-server 11.10 and the nginx version is naginx 0.8.46 ,and the gcc version is gcc 4.6.1 [06:59] coolstar: nice [06:59] the eror message is :src/core/ngx_resolver.c: In function ‘ngx_resolver_process_ptr’:src/core/ngx_resolver.c: In function ‘ngx_resolver_process_ptr’: [06:59] src/core/ngx_resolver.c:1425:43: error: variable ‘qclass’ set but not used [-Werror=unused-but-set-variable] [06:59] src/core/ngx_resolver.c:1425:36: error: variable ‘qtype’ set but not used [-Werror=unused-but-set-variable] [06:59] cc1: all warnings being treated as errors [06:59] make[1]: *** [objs/src/core/ngx_resolver.o] Error 1 [06:59] make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jiahui/nginx/nginx-0.8.55' [06:59] make: *** [build] Error 2 [06:59] coolstar: I do side projects like that too, I created a wheel the otherday [06:59] zjhui: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:59] zjhui: bad! [07:00] phix: sorry.. [07:00] zjhui: can you repeat all that i clicked away and missed it [07:00] bahhahhaaa [07:00] zjhui: you very big nginx problem? [07:01] lol [07:01] what is nginx? [07:02] happygolucky: ok , http://paste.ubuntu.com/751143/ here is the error message [07:03] happygolucky: and my host is ubuntu-server 11.10 and the nginx version is naginx 0.8.46 ,and the gcc version is gcc 4.6.1 [07:03] zjhui: I was kidding [07:03] zjhui, looks like a problem with the nginx source version, not with ubuntu [07:03] #aintitcool.com [07:03] oops [07:03] zjhui: ok so you have to treat all warnings as errors? [07:03] it doesnt look like a big issue [07:04] zjhui: are you using a make file to compile it? [07:04] zjhui, the Makefile has the option -Werror in the CFLAGS, which makes make fail on warnings, and the compiler emitted a warning [07:04] zjhui, this is an issue with the version of nginx you used, or a bug in the compiler, and i lean towards the former [07:05] the -werror i had that before [07:05] zjhui, you should consider using the version of nginx that is packaged for ubuntu [07:05] you have warnings as errors set [07:05] so, new trick my computer is doing. If I open rhythmbox, my sansa player automatically unmounts. If I open banshee, its fine. LOL!?!?!?!?!?! [07:05] you can rebuild gcc with somethiong like --disable-werror [07:05] you can edit the Makefile to remove -Werror but you should report a bug on the nginx bugtracker [07:06] don't actually build gcc with -Werror disabled, that is a terrible idea [07:06] tensorpudding: yes , i also thought that , but i have google for a long time , and can't figure out the problem [07:06] or edit the -werror out of the source.. it's under i think pflags or something in some file [07:06] tensorpudding: that is a great idea, warnings are fine === Guest92839 is now known as doublesex [07:07] oh right cflags [07:07] phix, if the writers of the software put -Werror in their Makefile, it was because they want to maintain a reasonably clean and compliant codebase, and disabling -Werror on your GCC is not only a huge time sink, but subverts their intention [07:07] tensorpudding: the Makefile don't have the werror option [07:08] zjhui, are you sure [07:09] check the common.mak file for the cflag or -werror and then just take it out [07:09] tensorpudding: yes http://paste.ubuntu.com/751148/ [07:09] *of not or [07:10] why are you building 0.8.55 anyway [07:10] tensorpudding: that is my Makefile [07:10] it calls multiple other Makefiles [07:10] in the objs folder [07:10] zjhui: common.mak [07:10] err, other Makefiles [07:11] wow, why is rhythmbox so fail. it keep segfaulting every time I click anything on it. [07:11] but seriously, why are you building 0.8.55 [07:12] tensorpudding: because i follow the tutorials which use that version [07:12] Roasted: look at vlc, does the same job without the segfaults [07:12] LOL [07:12] VLC? [07:12] the 0.8 series is a few years old [07:12] VLC is not *anything* like rhythmbox [07:13] !info vlc [07:13] the mainline is 1.0 [07:13] vlc (source: vlc): multimedia player and streamer. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.1.12-2~oneiric1 (oneiric), package size 1375 kB, installed size 3516 kB [07:13] moreover, nginx is packaged in ubuntu [07:13] thanks, but no thanks. it's nothing like rhythmbox whatsoever. [07:13] hi, is this the right place to ask for help? [07:13] Okay... I am trying to make something however I need to know the steps to connect to a wifi network in a program, does anyone have a clue? [07:13] i've always prefered mplayer over vlc [07:13] tensorpudding: yes , i just want to complie it from the source [07:14] tensorpudding: let me try the new version [07:14] you should only do that if you actually understand what problems that can cause [07:14] and you should report the bug you found on the nginx bugtracker [07:15] kbhtech: is this a programming question or general computing [07:15] Starting off with general computing. [07:16] tensorpudding: i have found this http://www.serverphorums.com/read.php?5,308712 , but when i use that patch , it didn't work [07:16] It will get more in depth once I actually understand this tech. [07:17] Its about what does a connection manager have to do to connect to a network. [07:17] kbhtech: well off the top of my head from the command line you need wireless-tools installed and iwconfig ought to do the trick in setting all the proper associations, ifconfig will put the device up and dhclient should issue an ip, you will have to figure out what interface your device is called by linux, mines wlan0 [07:17] mine to, I'm using backtrack... [07:18] kbhtech: great tool [07:18] hi all [07:18] tensorpudding: and i also didn't know the what's the acutually reason that cause the problem [07:18] kbhtech: i believe backtrack has wicd [07:18] i am using backtrack [07:19] happygolucky define wicd please... [07:19] backtrack does use wicd [07:19] pronounced wicked, it's a wireless program for connecting to wifi hot spots [07:20] Okay. I have verified that it does exist happygolucky. [07:20] Anyone know how to fix Flash Error #2046 on Ubuntu? Cleared my cache, removed & reinstalled both the flashplugin-nonfree & adobe-flashplugin, used Chrome, Chromium & Firefox [07:20] http://abraoximenes.com [07:20] zjhui, the actual reason is is right there in the error, a variable was defined but not used [07:21] zjhui, the c compiler emitted a warning because of that, and because -Werror was in place, the compilation ended in error [07:21] I need to find out... what do these wireless tools do. my current project is crazy but I am trying to get involved with packet injection. [07:22] ok guys ive been googling this for the entire day, i just made a bootable pendrive and when i try to boot it appears the message "boot error" [07:23] kbhtech, are you trying to use the air crack suite with backtrack? [07:24] Yeah, I have done it in the entire backtrack kit. now I am trying to design something universal but don't know where to even start. [07:24] v3ritas if i were you i'd ls -alh /usr/lib/mpzilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so or whatever it is called and trace it to the actual file.. you can go to adobe and download the source and get the absolute newest libflashplayer.so from there and just drop it in at the end of the symlinks, it might be symlinked twice [07:24] I could use Backtrack tools in Ubuntu [07:24] *mozilla [07:24] ok guys ive been googling this for the entire day, i just made a bootable pendrive and when i try to boot it appears the message "boot error" === LifeIsPain_ is now known as LifeIsPain [07:24] The 1st step is listening to the available hosts around me I think...

[08:24] Ok I try it [08:25] mamece2: is there anything other than boot error on the screen and does it at all load casper or give you a screen prior in which it asks you what to do?

[08:32] why do I all of a sudden lose permission in the GUI [08:32] I lost sudo [08:32] can't save files in /etc [08:33] how does one give themselves permission to edit any/all files? [08:34] sharpK: does "id" list you as member of group admin? [08:34] diki: i [08:34] diki: i'm not sure if it will work but live ubuntu and testdisk? [08:35] sharpK: visudo [08:36] I have a live cd, but...from there on i've no idea what to do [08:36] sharpK: basically copy what's there for root with the user you wish to give root access [08:37] to [08:37] sharpK: like put beneath it the login name of the user under root and all, all, all [08:37] happygolucky: the preferred *buntu-way is just to add the user to "admin" group. [08:38] happygolucky: i hope you know that is a massive security risk (he may aswell logon as root) [08:38] hi [08:38] Hyperbyte: but both will fail if he really has " 09:32 < sharpK> I lost sudo" [08:38] risk or no risk it does precisely what he wants, it's adding the user to the sudoers file [08:39] happygolucky: its not [08:39] i giveup, i have more than 24 hours looking for this [08:39] if I install Ubuntu 10.04 with grub onto a usb hdd can i move it from pc to pc without grub having errors with the boot [08:40] nope java still freezes on google chrome same thing as with firefox [08:41] i'm confused === Apple is now known as beri [08:45] anyway sharpK you could if you needed to access all of a disk login as root or superuser by doing su and then typing in the root password and ctrl+D to logout [08:45] excuse me but this is bullshit [08:45] !root | happygolucky [08:45] happygolucky: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [08:46] any reason why a NFS mount command would take a really long time? [08:46] !rules | mamece2 [08:46] mamece2: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [08:46] passwd sets a root password and not everyone chooses not to allow root login [08:46] So I'm going to have to compile my own network drivers sadly. If I choose to use ubuntu, how may I add the sk98lin module to load in it? [08:47] happygolucky: if sudo is not working then somebody has been messing with something they don't understand (and you want to give that somebody root access?) [08:47] Maccer: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11382042#post11382042 [08:48] besides that, activating root-account isn't supported here and shouldn't be recommended at all [08:48] wanting things is childish, if someone needs access i'll let them know how to get there [08:48] anything else is superfluous [08:48] llutz_: since when? [08:48] ssta: since ever [08:49] then that's silly [08:49] bkerensa: That doesn't work sadly, and it's even more of a pain in the ass because I don't have internet without these modules. [08:49] ssta: blaim the people making the rules [08:49] llutz_: where is this rule stated? [08:50] ssta: ask in #ubuntu-ops [08:50] I have another partition on my drive containing debian, is it possible to delete that partition and use it to store movies and music ect on? If so how? [08:50] like create an ext3 partition and have it auto mount [08:50] Maccer: did you try to modprobe it [08:51] skilz: make sure its not mounted, "sudo mkfs.ext4 -m0 /dev/sdXY" "sudo mount /dev/sdXY/mnt" "sudo chown $USER:USER /mnt && umount /mnt" [08:52] skilz: then create a new mountpoint like "/data" and add an /etc/fstab entry for it [08:53] whats a good xvidcap equivalent [08:53] the helppage linked from !root even tells you how to enable the root account. This is a silly rule (if it is a rule) [08:53] also if sudo isnt working perhaps the it's not been installed i.e. only base system [08:54] Hyperbyte: " 09:32 < sharpK> I lost sudo" <- so he had sudo before [08:54] happygolucky: ^^ [08:54] could have meant he had it in prior install [08:55] or she [08:56] for that matter [08:56] who cares [08:58] lotuspsychje, search repos for "screen recorder" ? [08:58] llee, Whats /dev/sdXY ? [08:58] How do I figure out if its /dev/sda1? [08:58] brontosaurusrex: i've tested a few screen recorders, but not many handle mpeg so smooth as xvidcap [08:58] skilz: sudo fdisk -l [08:59] lotuspsychje, what are you capturing exactly, a video stream of some sort? [08:59] brontosaurusrex: yes webcam stream [09:00] I have two files, foo and bar. I want to rename foo to bar and bar to foo. Can anyone think of a better way then mv foo baz; mv bar foo; mv baz bar? [09:01] lotuspsychje, how about glc? [09:02] brontosaurusrex: lemme test that package brb [09:02] Ubuntu is /dev/sda6 so I think debian is /dev/sda1: /dev/sda1 * 2048 33958021 16977987 83 Linux [09:02] lotuspsychje, however i dont remeber how i installed that [09:02] skilz: you should be sure, not just think [09:03] llutz, How can I be sure? [09:03] lotuspsychje, but the cli was : glc-capture --fps=25 -s -n --disable-audio neverball [09:03] for example [09:03] skilz: mount it, check it [09:03] brontosaurusrex: was it able to record specific area? [09:04] skilz: whenever i'm unsure of what is what I like to mount them and then df -h.. usually i can tell by size what's what.. also blkid should give you a UUID for your fstab if for some reason your devices change on you [09:04] lotuspsychje, maybe read http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/glc.html [09:05] brontosaurusrex: tnx ill have alook [09:11] uh [09:11] any gui program for partitioning? [09:12] gparted [09:12] I've found the way to turn on my card reader :-( Now I need a script to do it automatically [09:12] skilz: do yourself a favor burn a copy of gparted live [09:12] besogon: Have a look at udev. [09:12] hi booted macbook on 11.04 liveCD +. connected wireless + started Empathy, set up IRC +. asked to connect to #ubuntu --> OOPS, goes to login screen with only choice = OTHER.. I cant log in. (this happened twice. The first time I didnt get that far.) HELP please. [09:13] hey all on my netbook my mouse pointer via the trackpad randomly stops working after bootup [09:13] A_J it might be just doing something that takes a while [09:13] and it looks like it froze [09:14] i just booted up tripelb [09:14] Ampelbein: I know. That's the reason why I'm sad. It's gonna be painful adventure 8-) [09:14] just happing from today morning tripelb [09:14] A_J: does gpm work in shell [09:15] liveCD opens then goes to login screen and IM STUCK [09:15] besogon: Yeah, udev is best looked at with a nice bottle of $favorite_alcoholic ;-) [09:15] hello i am running ubuntu on a virtualbox. Now i want to clone a git repo from github. But i am getting an error when cloning: gitbub.com[0: 199.59.241.244]: errno=Connection timed out [09:15] fatal: unable to connect a socket (Connection timed out) any idea's? [09:15] installing happygolucky stand by [09:15] A_J - well that was my cheap easy guess, just in case. IDK, good luck [09:15] Jigal__: gitbub.com is not github.com [09:15] :) [09:16] lol [09:16] lol [09:16] tnx Ampelbein [09:16] ok I be ignored and must sleep. BUT how can I do a disk integrity check with 11.04 -- it is all so automatic I dont get the text list at the start. Please help me. [09:17] happygolucky: it works but my mouse does not [09:17] A_J - I wonder, have you tried an external mouse? [09:18] yup that works [09:18] disk integrity check on 11.04 -- can I? [09:18] tripelb: 'man fsck' will show you how to do it. [09:18] A_J, that suggests mouse driver [09:18] tripelb: better to use disk like ultimatebootcd which come with more specialized tools for this [09:19] Ampelbein, there used to be such a choice at the startup screen. Is there a way to get that screen? -- [09:19] umm, found it. The f3 button had got stuck, that disables and enables trackpad [09:19] lemme give it a reboot [09:19] brb [09:19] tripelb: Hold the SHIFT key after the BIOS, this will bring up the grub menu. [09:19] tripelb: you could umount and use badblocks to check the disk physically or i suppose fsck on reboot i.e. sudo shutdown -R -F now or touch /forcefsck [09:19] hi llutz, I burned 11.04, started it up and it "randomly" goes to a login screen that I cant sign into cause ITS A LIVECD. Big huh? Any ideas? [09:20] ty tripelb AND happygolucky [09:20] Ampelbein, how do I know when "after the Bios" is or does it matter? [09:20] tripelb: no, i don't use desktop live-cds [09:20] ASUS Eee pad transformer i have. There today i installed Ubuntu and now i get this how can i fix it? e.g: http://i.imgur.com/E9o16.png [09:20] tripelb: Just hold shift when the computer starts. [09:21] happygolucky: fyi shutdown -F doesn't work with ubuntu since upstart came in [09:21] well debian based distribution [09:21] llutz all I want to do is back up the mac. and my external HD is ubuntu. no other computers. (restoring the mac will be another issue but I will do a clean install of a newer mac os. [09:21] thanks Ampelbein [09:22] tripelb: you asked about checking disk-integrity, thus my answer [09:23] what would be the recommended partition size for a boot drive with no data containing ubuntu ? [09:23] Anyone here good with grub2? [09:23] see you on the flip. -- btw llutz, the wireless works in 11.04 and the empathy does have irc. so far so good. Yes NP re your answer. I was filling you in from my prev. meanwhile Ampelbein told me to hold down shift while it boots. (for 5 minutes I guess, so tomorrow) [09:23] night night [09:24] darkfur93: what seems to be the problem [09:24] nn tripelb [09:24] How to change permissions for /mnt/media so I can read/write to it? [09:24] night [09:24] skilz: unix-fs? use chown/chmod [09:24] what would be the recommended partition size for a boot drive with no data containing ubuntu ? [09:25] A_J 200 megs [09:25] A_J: What do you mean by "no data"? /usr,/var,/home on a different partition? [09:25] lol 200 megs [09:25] i mean i'm gonna put all my data in another drive [09:25] just programs in this one [09:25] 30 gigs ? [09:26] A_J: so you mean the /-fs not /boot [09:26] @linuxuz3r I'm trying to add XP to the bootloader. The partition it's on is /dev/sdc4 [09:26] no that would be the boot drive also [09:26] hi, i'm having trouble printing from flash applets in chromium. when i press the applet's print button, it opens the wrong print dialog with just a drop down list to choose a printer and two page range input fields. i expected it to show the large gnome print dialog that allows printing to pdf. running oneiric amd64. [09:26] A_J: That question is nigh impossible to answer. Noone knows what programs you want to install. [09:26] true, but 30 gb should be enough no Ampelbein [09:27] A_J: With 30gb you could install almost all packages in ubuntu. So yes. [09:27] thanks Ampelbein === Berg is now known as Guest74000 [09:32] Would the rootnoverify be (hd0,4) because XP is on partition 4? [09:33] darkfur93: i used to multiboot windows and linux, the best way was to let windows handle the booting [09:33] .... Since when did the Windows Boot loader do better than Lilo or GRUB? [09:34] Does anyone here have experience using UEFI? I have an issue where editing the boot manager entries causes issues saving some BIOS settings, also from a certain number of additions/changes no more entries can be added, even when existing ones are deleted [09:34] darkfur93: there's a place in system under startup and recovery for all that [09:35] windows doesnt play nice with lilo and grub in my experience === Robert_ is now known as Guest69543 [09:35] i dont really like lilo [09:36] happyface: And yet I've seen Windows 7 systems not boot successfully after a fresh install... but it boots just fine after installing grub x.x [09:36] and to install linux last because windows overwrites everything [09:36] err not happyface, happygolucky [09:36] Well installing linux last has always been true [09:39] and you have to no install the bootloader when installing linux for that to work [09:39] so [09:40] Ive always used grub to handle it all.. windoes tends to mess things up badly in my experience. [09:40] hello guys, i would like to know if iptables rules remain after the machine reboot [09:40] thanks in advance [09:40] paissad: if you saved them.. yes.. if not no. [09:40] dr_willis,saving ? [09:40] Hi. is something wrong with the hard drive if it not have the same "Last mount time:" and "Last write time"? http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/750405/ [09:40] paissad: No all ip tables rules are reset, unless you have they added as part of the boot process [09:41] dr_willis, how would i save it ? [09:41] paissad: correct... if you do a iptables whatever command.. and reboot.. it is NOT saved by default [09:41] !iptables [09:41] Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE Lucid and Maverick) also exist. [09:41] dr_willis, Diamondcite, ok thanks [09:41] sure it works that's why he's here saying it doesn't [09:41] paissad: iptables-save iptables-restore if you don't use ufw [09:41] llutz, i never use ufw, only iptables [09:42] paissad: one way: add short scripts to /etc/network/ip-down.d (if-up.d) performing save/restore actions [09:43] llutz, i have a script /opt/scripts/firewall.sh which is called at startup via an init.d script in /etc/init.d/paissad.sh (i put my personal directives here :)) [09:43] hello [09:43] How can I enable mouse cursor in virtual terminals in ubuntu (tty's)? [09:44] paissad: lots of ways will work, pick what you like [09:44] indeed, thanks anyway [09:44] kantor: You could have a look at 'gpm' [09:44] should i run apt-get autoremove? there are some packages that are supposed to be automatically installed and no longer needed [09:44] or will it break my system? [09:44] how can i find a shortcut's icon file on hard disk ? [09:45] Timewarper: You can safely remove them. [09:45] Thanks Ampelbein [09:45] I'm trying to install pd-extended on an ubuntu 11.10 laptop, but before I get anywhere it has a insatisfiable dependency on libquicktime1..I have libquicktime2 installed, how do I go about making it use libquicktime2 instead? [09:46] AndyLeeds: ask the package maintainer for a rebuild. [09:46] AndyLeeds: where is pd-extended comming from? its wanting an outdated lib. it seems. [09:47] from the website..and it was one of their 'nightly builds' so I don't see how it would be asking for out of date software [09:47] AndyLeeds: if they are building on a system with older libs... [09:47] mention it in their forums perhaps? [09:48] ok, cheers :) [09:48] AndyLeeds: I can't find pd-extended for oneiric on their website. [09:48] no I couldn't either [09:48] That sounds like they are building it on an older release to me. :) [09:49] if they are providing a repo/ppa.. you could use the build-deps option and try to recompile it yourself. === james is now known as Guest62178 === Jarmes is now known as Jamres === Jamres is now known as JamresJarmes === JamresJarmes is now known as Jarmes [09:53] Hello guys.. is there any way to list the processes priorities?? [09:54] check the options to the ps command? [09:54] rodhash: use top? [09:55] I use a computer with two nics attached to one network. they both get their own IP from the DHCP server. How can I make sure the routing to external addresses goes through eth1? Where can I best edit eth0 does not request/use the default gateway info? [09:55] see the output of the route command [09:56] Amanas, It worked .. [09:56] but what about ps? I'm not finding it in its man... [09:56] fgiw: the dev option in the route command is used for that [09:56] there should be a line that starts with "default" and the last field on the same line is the interface [09:57] Ampelbein: andyn: so I restet the default route in rc.local? now default is 'randomly' assigned to eth0 or eth1 [09:57] restet=reset [09:58] rodhash: ps -eo pri,more-fields [09:58] hello! how to change tty into English version?

[10:00] fgiw: Why in rc.local? Depending on the tool you use to connect to the network you can find everything you need in /etc/network [10:01] Not that strange due to the HC systeam isn't on when I power on and sometime I forget to turn it on. is there a way to work around it ? [10:02] Ampelbein: then i'd probably need to set dhcp-client-parameters for the individual nics in /etc/network/interfaces right? [10:02] is there a way to "save" the state it was on last boot and not trying to config the screens on boot ? [10:05] fgiw: No. You most likely want something like 'ip route add -net 192.168.1.0/24 gw 192.168.1.1 dev eth1' in /etc/network/interfaces [10:06] fgiw: erm, sorry. 'up route add' of course. [10:06] jase_: it doesn't work somehow.. [10:07] still can't get it display right.. [10:07] xeocs: it errors or doesn't do what you want? [10:07] fgiw: 'man 5 interfaces' for a complete overview. [10:08] Ampelbein: OK, thanks. I'd probably need to delete the default routes set by the dhcpclient as well, besides add a new one. Will read the man page a bit... [10:10] jase_: well, when i was installing ubuntu server, i selected Chinese Simplified as my language, but when i entered tty mode, i could not get any characters, em.. all the Chinese chaacters are not recongnizable [10:11] how can i change resize icon in ubuntu ? its sooo ugly. my cursor theme is oxygen but when i try to resize some ugly primitive black cursor appear.

[10:17] have you got the en language pack installed? if not you need it then the dpkg-reconfigure console-setup should allow you to change to the en lang pack [10:18] Guys... Why I can't grep guake with 'ps -eo' ?? I can grep any application but not for guake... [10:18] very odd [10:18] rodhash: What? [10:19] Ampelbein, ps -eo pid,ni,pri,pcpu,pmem,stat,comm | grep guake --> this doesn't work.... but ps aux | grep guake works [10:20] ohhh gosh... Amanas I found it... I should grep for python [10:21] jase_: em.. how to install a language pack? [10:21] Ampelbein, it still making no sense [10:21] rodhash: I don't know guake but if it's a python script it makes complete sense.

[10:24] rodhash: use ,command not ,comm [10:24] rodhash, well the thing is, ps aux shows the command as initially types (so there's isn't python in it).

[10:26] ToonTownStone: Without telling us the machine specs and the kernel panic you get: No. [10:26] Ampelbein: im trying to figure out what to google for. :) 'normalize' means just tweaking the volume. wanting to cut out the low end stuff. [10:27] Ampelbein, it's a Medion Akoya MD8800, Dual Core Intel proccessor, 2x 1GB DDR3 RAMs, 1TB Samsung Hard Drive. [10:29] seem audaicty can do it for audio files. but that would mean i have to split/rebuild my video files. Looking for an app like audacity that can do stuff to the sound track of a video file. [10:30] unless audacity can just pass through the video portion. [10:30] ToonTownStone: "Dual Core Intel processor" is about as accurate as "4 cylinder BMW". What processor is it exactly? And what is the kernel panic? === marco is now known as Guest59745 [10:34] ciao [10:34] Ampelbein, its a hardware error, it wont tell me more than it' a dual core proccessor 2.12GHz [10:35] cat /proc/cpuinfo |grep model [10:35] hello...I am trying to edit my main menu through the 'main menu' icon but when I press 'properties' for a given icon it doesnt do anything.. is that a bug? or is it my ubuntu that is not responding? note: I upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 [10:35] wooter: Hard to do when the kernel panics.

I use openbox/tint i was wondering if anyone knows of any program to lock certain desktops till a password is entered. I do different things on their own desktop. but do not want anyone who happens to just want to browse the web on my desktop to see what is on say desktop 4 etc etc [10:43] 11.10 Ubuntu Desktop: Should an administrator be able to edit files in etc? [10:43] because I am getting a permission denied type error [10:43] But I'm just wondering if, in general, Unity is quite buggy... It keeps crashing and malfunctioning...

[10:55] Dagnabit [10:56] where can i find xvidcap config file? [10:56] sharpK: what error? [10:56] I'm wanting to setup my private network's server with a pastebin under Ubuntu. Is there a pastebin package I can install or does anyone have any advice in how I'd go about doing it? [10:57] sharpK: a direcotry you are shareing also has to have the proper filesystem permissions. [10:57] is there a way i can change how fast the dock closes? [10:57] ActionParsnip: Windows cannot acces \\SERVER\share --- Check the spelling of the name. Otherwise, there might be a problem with your network. To try to identify and resolve network problems, click Diagnose. [10:57] sharpK: and you need to give the user a samba password 'sudo smbpasswd -a username' [10:57] Effex: for example 'pnopaste' [10:57] Varazir: You lost me now. What do you want to do? [10:58] sharpK: the smb.conf file also has a feature to enable 'home' shares - where each user can have their own home directory as a persnal 'share' accessable by windows. [10:58] Ampelbein: I have Harman Kardon Amplifier (HCsysteam) and when I power on my systems (HTPC and the HC) the HC is in standby and my HTPC can't find any screens, GUI fails to start [10:58] how do I automatically reboot the server on a kernel panic? And no, I don't give a damn it's a bad idea. [10:58] Thanks Ampelbein, just what I was looking for! [10:58] if its kernel paniced.. you really dont have any option then a reboot.. but never seen a way to automatically reboot on a panic. [10:59] sharpK: can you ping the hostname [10:59] Ampelbein: I like to find a way to get the GUI up without restarting the systeam [10:59] dr_willis, so when I rightclick share a folder on ubunntu and allow guest access, shouldn't that let them get into the folder without user/pass? [10:59] http://www.linuxhowtos.org/Tips%20and%20Tricks/autoreboot.htm first google hit i saw [10:59] dr_willis: .... [11:00] so you're saying, I will ALWAYS lose money when a server decides to crap itself and the guy supposed to take care of the server is gone? [11:00] sharpK: if you set it to alliow it - it should.. but you dont need to edit smb.conf for that.. or do anything as root. [11:00] Varazir: ok, 'sudo service gdm start' should do then. [11:00] sharpK: i've seen users need to set a password for folders set in $HOME but the error doesn't imply that [11:00] reboot on kernel panic. several older posts i just googled.. seems theres a system variable/kernel var to do it. [11:00] http://www.linuxhowtos.org/Tips%20and%20Tricks/autoreboot.htm [11:01] ActionParsnip, what;s teh ipconfig equivalent for terminal? [11:01] All you have to do is add the kernel parameter panic=X to your boot line in your bootloader (linux, grub, or others). [11:01] X is the timeout in seconds. The kernel waits X seconds and reboots. A value of 0 means the feature is disabled (default). [11:01] dr_willis, well, it is checked, and so set to do that, but windows still can't seem to access the server...that's why I thought I might have to edit the file (saw a guide on ubunutu site) [11:02] sharpK: try accessing it by ip#. not hostname [11:02] \\server.ip.number [11:02] \\server.ip.number\sharename [11:02] dr_willis what is the ipconfig equivalent for linux terminal? [11:02] sharpK: you mean ifconfig? :) [11:03] TimothyA: You could read up on sysctl and the kernel.panic parameter. [11:03] rgr, I am used to cmdprmpt :) [11:03] Add the following to /etc/sysctl.conf: [11:03] kernel.panic = 20 [11:04] hmm, still the same windows error [11:04] sharpK: ifconfig [11:04] Ampelbein: already done that [11:04] it has no effect [11:04] Ampelbein: didn't work :( [11:04] sharpK: try disabling the windows firewall as a test.. see if the windows box can ping the linux box. see if the linux box can ping/access shares on the windows box. [11:04] I had to wait 20 HOURS on the server to get rebooted. it did that miracilously on its own [11:04] yeah, tried //192.168.1.103/share [11:04] will try [11:04] sharpK: can you ping the name? can you ping the IP? [11:05] I can ping the ip [11:05] from windows [11:05] Varazir: "didn't work" is not an error message. [11:05] Ampelbein: getting them :) [11:05] sharpK: ive seen windows firewalls get in the way. :) i tend to disable them when im behind a router. [11:05] sharpK: ok then you can use the IP as you said above [11:06] sharpK: which version of windows is the client? [11:06] sharpK: also i tend to just fallback to using ssh/winscp on windows. seems MS managed to make samba/shares impossible to get going with the latest windows versions [11:06] Any linux software devs in here? [11:06] TimothyA: You added the value to /etc/sysctl.conf and rebooted? [11:06] hmmm, just disbled the eset firewall for 10 minutes, but same error === marco is now known as Guest18103 === root is now known as Guest79755 [11:06] well, I am on 7, so you may be right [11:06] eset firewall? [11:06] sharpK: if you run: smbtree from the sambe server, do you see the shares? [11:06] Ampelbein: http://pastebin.com/9D1xB0mi and http://pastebin.com/4XJVqCQA [11:07] but SSH would be 3rd party on all the rest of the windows comps, correct? [11:07] Ampelbein: it crashed [11:07] and then it rebooted [11:07] after 20 hours [11:07] sharpK: ssh and winscp are to handy to ignore. :) [11:07] ActionParsnip: smbtree? [11:07] sharpK: yes, its a terminal command [11:07] Ampelbein: and http://pastebin.com/MM5Ebmuf [11:07] TimothyA: What value did you add? [11:07] I have a hard time even getting a windows7 box to see other windows7 box's on my homelan. :() [11:08] ActionParsnip, yes, it does come up in the list [11:08] my computer that is [11:08] sharpK: the use ip not hostname trick normally works for me. [11:08] and I should have mentioned, I seem to be able to access the windows files from ubunutu [11:08] sharpK: ok so now you can see for sure the share name. Do you have any spaces in the name, or is it just one word? [11:08] I even transferred af ile over to the desktop [11:09] dr_willis: I tried \\192.168.1.103\share, but got hte same error [11:09] sharpK: thers also windows7 settings to block stuff not on the home network. i recall [11:09] Ampelbein: kernel.panic = 10 [11:09] Actionparsnip: nope, it says WORKGROUP \\Server\share [11:09] i started disabling eveyrhing i could find in windows.. and now i see stuff. :) [11:10] Varazir: Can you pastebin the output of 'apt-cache policy lightdm' and 'apt-cache policy gdm' for me? [11:10] sharpK: perhaps restart the samba service. and/or enable its verbose logging. Its possible its a windows security setting causing the issues. [11:10] heh, could be it, I can access other windows computers on my network thouhg [11:10] just the ubuntu that's giving me trouble [11:10] sharpK: ok the samba server run: sudo smbpasswd -a $USER then set the same password as you log in with as the samba password, now when you hit the server you should be challenged for authentication and you can tell your OS to store the credential. Or you can use it to map a network drive [11:10] TimothyA: What is the result of uname -a? [11:10] 2.6.32-24-server #43-Ubuntu SMP Thu Sep 16 16:05:42 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux [11:10] because MS likes to enable special scrutity things. (homegroup stuff) and other annoyances. :) [11:11] sharpK: so NONE of the windows machines can see the linux box.. it can see all the windows machines... and the window machines can see each other? [11:11] Ampelbein: http://pastebin.com/UBwPTuiR http://pastebin.com/fw065pnG [11:11] sharpK: another point is if you're using a wireless adapter for windows you want to enable the wireless zero configuration [11:12] dr_willis, I'll try to run to another room and see if I can get into ubunutu from there... [11:12] happygol1cky: nope, all through ethernet into a WRT54g [11:12] sharpK: ive definatly had shares not work when on wireless.. and then do work when wired on windows.. it may be what happygol1cky just mentioned. [11:12] sharpK: vnc would save the running around. :) [11:12] Actionparsnip: done, but the same error in wondows [11:12] hello!! [11:12] sharpK: ive seen users had to reboot router and server [11:13] ive seen people fight for hrs getting a share to show up.. then suddendly it appears..... with nothing done on their end.. :) [11:13] I guess I'll have to give it a go, brother it playing Dota2 though, so a reboot could mean the end of me right now... [11:13] sharpK: did you allow 192.168.1.* [11:13] happygol1cky: ubuntu or windows? [11:14] and how? [11:14] smb conf [11:14] I got a $20 NAS with USB. that every box in the house can see.. the boxeebox (running some linux) can see every share.. but ive had windows box's not want to see each other... :) go figure. [11:14] Varazir: Ok, could you have a look at 805154 and try the workaround mentioned there (with lightdm)? [11:14] Varazir: bug 805154 [11:14] Launchpad bug 805154 in gdm (Ubuntu) "gdm-simple-slave crashed with SIGSEGV in _nss_compat_getpwnam_r()" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/805154 [11:14] what is the specific line I would look for? [11:14] Ampelbein: can do that [11:15] we need sshfs for windows :) [11:16] happygol1cky: I search for 192.168 in the smc.conf file, it doesn't find anything, so what line to I add [11:16] ? [11:16] im running windows and need to install virtual box and boot ubuntu on it. But i heard that virtualbox degrades memory performance, so want install only text-mode ubuntu on virtualbox. can anyone guide me how can i do it?? [11:16] TimothyA: Sorry, I can't find any problem mentioned with this kernel not respecting kernel.panic setting. It SHOULD work, no idea why it doesn't for you. [11:17] Hmm.. there are some sshfs for windows projects out there... nifty [11:18] gjois: grab the server or minimal install and run that, you will get a CLI based OS. If you want a mouse based interface, install desktop. It doesn't degrade memory performance, you are just runnning 2 OSes at the same time so it will slow down the system [11:19] sharpK: i think i might have been thinking print server, nevermind that, but in that file you should set path, browsable to yes, read only to no, quest ok = no, create mask = 0644, directory mask = 0755, force user = YourUsername, force group = YourGroupName [11:19] dr_willis: swish-sftp :) [11:19] *guest not quest [11:20] happygol1cky: restarting the ubuntu now, will try it when as soon as it comes up [11:22] Ampelbein: there is no workaround, like forcing ubuntu use the last setting and not scaning for a screen ? [11:23] Varazir: The problem is a segfault (also known as a crash) in your logs. It seems a known problem with gdm, that's why I asked to try with lightdm. [11:23] ActionParsnip: just saw one called dokan sshfs.. but i cant figure out how to get it to use my ssh key. :) [11:24] Ampelbein: ok [11:24] Varazir: Comment #11 from the bug link.

[11:26] Ampelbein: /usr/sbin/lightdm is allready as default [11:26] canterer: no idea, maybe it's hung and a graceful kill won't work. -9 will kill it with no regard for consequence [11:27] Varazir: Then try 'sudo service lightdm restart' [11:27] Guest85224: iconv can do that [11:27] ActionParsnip: u here, or goin in some time ?

[12:04] solringel: laptop makers love to have their own standards for things like that.. linux cant always be correct and work with them all.

Your chip isn't hugely new so the 280 driver will probably be fine [13:09] ActionParsnip, i try it in fedora 16 , it work fine but after 5 min the system crash ! 1 core of my processor goes to take task 100% [13:09] Neenoo: some monitors don't act as they are supposed to so you may need to run: sudo nvidia-xconfig to make an xorg.conf file [13:10] i need to start a session automatically at computer boot, BUT, keep it locked [13:10] ActionParsnip: do they ship in the EU? [13:10] Here's a wacky networking question: I have a Router(1) connected to the modem. To that router, Router(2) and Router(3) are connected for internet access. How do I get Router(2) and Router(3)'s computers to see computers in Router(1)'s network as though they were in the homegroup? [13:10] i need to start a gui session automatically at computer boot, BUT, keep it locked [13:11] what is that utility to manage sound,speakers,headphones with a GUI? [13:11] mich: maybe, not sure. Could ask them and see what they say [13:12] gulzar: gnome-alsamixer [13:12] gulzar: or use alsamixer in terminal [13:13] A_J, If Live CD won't boot, it could be several things. Did you Md5sum the ISO, prior to burning it at "the slowest speed?" [13:13] ActionParsnip, i do nvidia-xconfig ! [13:13] yes, i have already installed once with this disc [13:13] and the disc looks in ok condition [13:14] ActionParsnip: alsamixer is working with keyboard. I want the one which works with mouse [13:14] ActionParsnip: simply drag and bars and adjust sound... [13:14] A_J, This'll probably sound silly but the drive could be too dusty/dirty? [13:15] perhaps not, it's an external. [13:15] how can i do 'seq' in reverse? [13:15] was working well a few days back [13:15] gulzar: then I already answered you [13:15] Neenoo: it needs sudo, it will genreate an xorg.conf which you can then put in place by restarting the x server [13:16] A_J, If you know the disk/ISO are good and it's not a hardware issue; that's about as far as I can go.. Sorry. :-( [13:16] ActionParsnip, done , now should reboot or logout ? [13:17] Sidewinder1, i think the boot cd loads onto the ram, the ram test is okie [13:17] also hdd is fine [13:17] i checked with HDD Sentinal [13:17] says helath 70% [13:17] Neenoo: reboot is probably easier, if you get no x server then boot to root recovery mode and rename /etc/X11/xorg.conf [13:18] ActionParsnip: no dear. alsamixer is working with terminal and I can't use it. I am looking for something to wotk with mouse. How to do so? [13:18] gulzar: what else did I recommmend? [13:18] gulzar: scroll up and you'll see [13:18] ActionParsnip: gnome-alsamixer [13:18] ActionParsnip, thanks i will try [13:18] bingo [13:19] ActionParsnip: isntalled [13:19] ActionParsnip: done [13:19] ActionParsnip: thank you [13:19] how do i break the command line output into parts so that they dont appear all at once, and i dont have to scroll? [13:19] gulzar: great when you read, huh [13:20] ActionParsnip: i installed it but it was there in menu not replacing the rightclick on sound icon [13:20] ActionParsnip: :) [13:20] maverick_: command with output| less or ... |more [13:20] maverick_: pipe the output through a program like 'more' or 'less'. i.e.: 'command | less' [13:20] Good Morning everyone [13:20] Hey [13:21] llutz, Ampelbein: aah, thanks, i didn't quite know how to phrase it in google, hence asked [13:21] maverick_: to view the content of a file, you can also use it in the format less /path/to/myfile [13:21] How many people are running 11.04 on their lappy? [13:21] oCean: thank you [13:21] eunix: many [13:22] Ok [13:22] I have 11.04 on my 8560w but now I need to retrofit the COE stuff so that my Active key can work [13:23] I did not use the COE distro and then upgrade [13:23] Am I in for a world of pain? [13:23] eunix: what is COE? [13:25] sorry - [13:26] Hey all [13:26] I think I am in the wrong channel - I have not used IRC in a while and am trying to be in my company IRC channel. [13:27] yo, how are you ? upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04 everything works fine but the fact that I get blank pages at Random places (for example I use nagios plugin in firefox), that stops working suddenly, or if I try to load system configuration. If I reboot it works but then it breaks. It's clearly a bug, have you heard about that? [13:27] eunix, are they on the freenode server? [13:28] No. It looks like the corporate server is not responding. [13:28] No problem - I am happy to hang out here for a while with my morning cup of coffee. :) [13:29] Castbound: what if you rename ~/.mozilla/firefox is it ok then? [13:30] ActionParsnip, it doens't only happen in firefox, if I load "system configuration" in the bottom of the start/shutdown menu, it happens the same [13:31] i think it's related to the themes, but it happens in either the default or others- if I can change the theme then it fixes itself - but breakes later on [13:31] Castbound: I see [13:31] Castbound: is it ok as a fresh user? [13:31] as in create a new user to see if that happens? [13:32] Castbound: yes [13:32] I tried reset all custom conf to default by deleting the relevant folders === _spt_ is now known as _spt|afk [13:33] !away > _spt|afk [13:33] _spt|afk, please see my private message [13:33] referring to: m -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity [13:33] me [13:34] Castbound: there are configs in ~/.config that aren't just for apps [13:35] ActionParsnip, I'll create a new user to test and see how that works - thanks for your help | out of curiosity have you seen that issue before? [13:37] * drake01 thanks oCean for kicking out suzzyy [13:38] I'm having problems extracting a rar file. My friend has no problem extracting it on windows. I've redownloaded the file 3 times, still no luck. what else can I do? [13:38] I don [13:38] Don't think rar is natively supported by Ubuntu [13:38] !rar [13:38] rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [13:39] Castbound: not myself, I always clean install so I don't get weird issues like that [13:39] Chotaz, what's the error you are getting? [13:39] hello, all [13:39] Chotaz: install rar unrar p7zip-rar p7zip-full unp [13:39] Chotaz: then use unp to extract anything at cli [13:39] ActionParsnip, yeah I should have done that, thanks [13:40] help me solve my bluetooth problem in ubuntu 11.10 m i am not able to send or receive files & using DUN profile in ubuntu 11.10 while in ubuntu 11.04 everything was fine [13:40] Castbound, "There was an error extracting the files." [13:41] ActionParsnip booting up again [13:41] also, error message permission denied appear [13:41] let's hope it works [13:41] Chotaz, please check what ActionParsnip said above [13:41] error code 13 [13:42] just unp "filename.ext" will do the trci [13:42] trick [13:42] i already had most of thos packages installed [13:43] unp is awesome [13:43] Awesome First Line Support is awesome! Thanks ActionParsnip and Castbound [13:44] and unp sure did the trick =D [13:44] ActionParsnip how much time about does it take for seeing the installation screen. 4gb ram / intel atom 1.6Ghz [13:44] A_J: couple of minutes [13:45] hmm [13:45] i made a backup cd of all the updates that i have installed to install it on other pc's using remastersys , now is it possible to transfer all my settings like not to check for updates & repository that i added should be there in the backup cd as well. [13:45] What parameter value should I substitute for »x«in '~$oggenc -b x test.wav' if test.wav has the parameters: signed 16 bit 48000 Hz, stereo? [13:46] bullgard4: desired target bitrate kb/s [13:46] * A_J drools : http://www.theitdepot.com/details-Intel+S5520HC+Server+Intel+Motherboard_C13P8680.html [13:47] llutz: I know the definition for »x«. But the definition which you sent does not answer my question. [13:47] Can anyone suggest me a good alternative to banshee, just for mp3 and flac files and that can use my keyboard media keys? [13:47] qmpp [13:48] bullgard4:" none of those you gave" better? [13:48] wait thats qmmp [13:48] Chotaz: deadbeef [13:48] ActionParsnip it got stuck again :*( [13:48] 1542 people are here & not able to solve my bluetooth problem [13:49] A_J: on a black screen? [13:49] yes with some text [13:49] llutz: With due respect, I do not understand your answer. [13:49] cd drive is making noise [13:49] kanhiya: you can use aptoncd to make an offline CD repo. I don't use bluetooth, too slow [13:50] A_J: nomodeset will fix that, if its an nvidia gpu use: nouveau.blacklist=1 [13:50] bullgard4: "signed 16 bit 48000 Hz, stereo" none of these parameters have anything to do with the bitrate you set with -b "x" [13:50] ActionParsnip: Thanks, but it is not working anymore in Ubuntu 11.10 on any pc that i have tried [13:50] ActionParsnip lol i don't reach the screen where i can get that option. I just boot it up, and it gets stuck. no installation option no nothing [13:50] !bootoptions | A_J [13:50] A_J: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions See also !nomodeset.

[13:52] cd ActionParsnip [13:52] A_J: did you burn the CD as slowly as possible? [13:52] yes 4x [13:52] ActionParsnip: Bluetooth devices are detected and added but neither able to send nor able to receive files [13:52] Is it possible to manually mount a partition somewhere and not have it mount in /media ,by default, as well ? [13:52] ActionParsnip i have installed from this cd before on my netbook it worked [13:54] how can i get nginx user and group [13:54] in ubuntu [13:54] A_J: all I can suggest is make a new cd to test, the ram is healthy which is good [13:54] sweb: how do you mean "get" [13:55] community, whether to install security update on my pc , it is related with Linux Kernel & Once i updated kernel in the past & was not able to boot :( [13:56] Now most of things are running fine [13:56] ActionParsnip: should i try to boot windows [13:56] ciao [13:56] list!

It won't uninstall the old kernel, and it's still accessible from the grub boot menu in case the new kernel doesn't work. [13:59] kanhiya, 12.04 has not been officially released and is still in development. [13:59] Why to release in every six month when something is not stable and well tested [14:00] Sidewinder1: I know that :), i am talking about 11.10 [14:00] Just wanted to be sure that you knew.. :-) [14:01] 10.04, here. [14:01] Sidewinder1: 12.04 will be last Ubuntu distro i will try, if it worked for me, i will go for it, otherwise thumbs down to Ubuntu :( [14:02] Sidewinder1: I know but many things didn't work for me like wireless issues === ctnsrkn is now known as ctnsrkn_exitus [14:03] Sidewinder1: Still it is better than Ubuntu 11.10 [14:03] kanhiya: it is tested and is stable [14:03] kanhiya: maybe you are confusing not liking the new gnome with not liking ubuntu [14:04] ActionParsnip: WHy not release only 1 version in a year [14:04] kanhiya: not sure, ask canonical [14:04] kandinski, Yes, sometimes a bit of "tweaking" is in order. I'm fortunate that my machine is rather old and almost everything 'just works'. [14:04] ActionParsnip: How to forward request to Canonical [14:04] kanhiya: the opposite is also applicable, why not more a year... [14:05] They should conduct a survey [14:05] kanhiya: they could survey everything, it'd slow development down === Mud is now known as Guest89310 [14:07] hello, I was playing a bit with recordmydesktop, and it's capturing great, with sound from my mic, and from my desktop... but the sound is very soft, how can I fix this?

I'm not english sorry [14:08] I got all the slides in mixer to the top, but it's recording very low sound [14:08] Math^: you've experimented with levels in Sound Settings? [14:08] any ideas on how I can improve kbd and display responsiveness when the disk is running [14:08] yes, I tried to pull everything up [14:09] all, i mean to say that Dashing is not always good, people need stable system not to mess with problems , it's job of developers that they update packages carefully & make sure that new is better than old and stable, if something is working fine than no need to update [14:09] Math^: do you have access to another mic (maybe a USB headset) that you could try as a comparison point? [14:09] yeats: no :( [14:09] Math^, what is your mic brand, type etc? [14:09] hi, is there an IRC channel for askubuntu... I'm having trouble logging in using an openid [14:10] well it's not my mic I guess... cos it works perfect in skype [14:10] kanhiya: I'd agree, apart from the regular security updates. [14:10] Math^: I found that my analog mic was not loud enough but that a USB headset was loud and crystal clear [14:10] yeats: yes, but also sound from mix is low [14:10] both from mic and mix [14:10] squaregoldfish: Yes, only this exception [14:10] hi guys [14:10] mic loudness is really subjective [14:11] is there a way to access my deja-dup backup on u1 on different linux distribution (in my case gentoo)?

[14:31] ! notunity [14:31] 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 [14:31] i knw but genome 3 has ugly black and grey bars [14:32] A_J_: if you like the Gnome2 look and feel I suggest you install XFCE and use that [14:32] XFCE okie [14:32] ActionParsnip: looks like the cd was bad [14:32] i did a 10.04 usb boot, will update now [14:33] A_J_: Yea, might even give xubuntu live session a try [14:33] how can connect to internet using ubuntu ..with windows setteings are ..http://paste.ubuntu.com/751438/ [14:33] soreau: is there a guide to use unity [14:33] unity* [14:33] A_J_: I have no idea.

[14:46] soreau: lunitik i want to boot from a live usb [14:46] Is this the crontab to run fil at 23:59:59 = 59 23 * * * sleep 59; sh whatever.sh [14:46] mamece2, does your BIOS support booting from USB? [14:47] ooh this probelm is happening on a pc, i have installed 4 weeks back. it installed on hard drive of my netbook, where i am currently downloading [14:47] soreau: lunitik i checked the MD5 and its everything ok, i also did a puppy live usb [14:47] mamece2: Live cd works but no usb does? [14:47] i mean typing* [14:47] soreau: lunitik yes it does, i change the options to first check the usb port to boot. i dont have a CD, just usb sticks [14:48] mamece2, what is the error you are seeing when it tries to boot from it? [14:48] mamece2: Did you try different usb ports? [14:48] soreau: yes [14:48] lunitik: just boot error and the blinking cursor [14:48] mamece2: How did you say you created the usb stick? [14:48] A_J_, I just got here, what exactly is your problem? [14:49] soreau: i did it with startup disk creator, unetbootin and universal usb creator [14:49] netbook trackpad not workin lunitik [14:50] mamece2: Do you happen to have any other usb sticks to try? [14:50] A_J_, did you install anything like xorg-xserver-input-synaptics ? [14:50] no, nothing [14:50] soreau: i have tried with two [14:50] lunitik: Apparently it used to work, then something happened and it quit [14:50] A_J_: What did you do that broke it? [14:51] A_J_, then you'll need to do that... 'sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics gpointing-device-settings' [14:51] mamece2: When does the error happen exactly, after you load ubuntu or before it even tries to load the usb medium at all? [14:51] actually soreau booted it up after 4 or so days and then it works on bootup then stops soon [14:52] A_J_: Check /var/log/Xorg.0.log for messages/errors and possibly $HOME/.xsession-errors [14:52] soreau: i put the usb stick in, and turn on the PC, after the intel logo it just stay in "boot error" [14:53] mamece2, did you ever share how you created the USB stick? [14:53] mamece2: I am going to guess that the boot medium you created is fine but your bios is choking when it tries to boot it for some reason. Do you have another computer you can try booting it on? [14:53] lunitik: Yes he did [14:53] lunitik: latest version installed [14:53] i can try in this pc [14:54] A_J_, try running gpointing-device-settings then? [14:55] lunitik: i created the usb stick formating it with FAT32 and then used universal usb creator, that was the last time i did it. before that i used unetbootin and startup creator. i am using a iso ive dl'ed . i have ubuntu and puppy, i have tried every combination [14:55] okie lunitik it'd open [14:56] looks like it was disabled [14:56] thanks lunitik [14:57] and ty also soreau [14:59] I'm running Oneiric on my laptop and the current discharge rate is 36.0 W, while most sources online appear to be indicating that I should actually be using roughly 1/3rd that - this is with nothing but putty and Chromium running. Any recommendations? [15:01] Icehawk78: How are you arriving at the value of 36 watts? [15:01] Usually it's value/time anyway [15:02] soreau: grep rate /proc/acpi/battery/BAT2/state [15:02] present rate: 35960 mW [15:02] Icehawk78: Maybe you have an abusive driver loaded. What gpu and driver for it are you using? [15:02] Icehawk78, the Linux kernel had power management issues for a while, you might be getting hit with those... what is kernel version? there are new patches which fix it, but idk if they're in the default kernel yet [15:03] lunitik: I think it's safe to assume it's the default 11.10 kernel version [15:03] 3.0.x I believe [15:03] lunitik: Correct, it's 3.something, I noticed it upgraded a week or so ago. [15:04] Then it probably isn't there, because the patches were released after Oneiric was released... can maybe grab the precise kernel and see if it does any better? === LouisJB_ is now known as LouisJB [15:05] (oneiric is 3.0.x, precise is going with 3.2.x) [15:05] soreau: GPU is a switchable graphics card, I had issues with the fglrx drivers before and removed them completely, and am now just using the default drivers which (I think) should be using the integrated card [15:05] Icehawk78: Can you show the output of 'lspci|grep VGA' and 'glxinfo|grep renderer'? [15:06] how do you get the background picture to keep a portrait oriented picture in portrait and not flip it to landscape? [15:06] hi guys [15:07] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) [15:07] 01:00.0 VGA Compatible Controller: ATI Technologies Inc NI Seymour [AMD Radeon HD 6470M] [15:08] Hi I was wondering if anyone could give me a hand, I am using Ubuntu 10.4 LTS [15:08] OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) Sandybridge Mobile [15:08] hello [15:08] i need help [15:08] Deltatash: No one can help you if you don't ask your question [15:08] I am having problems connecting to a D-Link DGS-1216T Switch with ubuntu [15:08] Deltatash, if you tell us your actual issue, we may be able to [15:08] Icehawk78: Ok so you are using the intel gpu currently, which should be the better option for low power consumption. What makes you think that it's using too much power? [15:09] hey [15:09] i need help [15:09] With windows I can connect np but I hook my Ubuntu laptop up with the ethernet wire and my internet icon appears saying connecting, but then it soon says "disconected" so I can not log into my switch using linux :s as it doesnt stay connected [15:09] where would I find the /etc/gdm/Init/Default file [15:09] on 11.10? [15:09] I have a question.. can I select a different version (here: the latest LTS) in wubi? [15:09] i need midia [15:09] any ideas ? [15:09] oneiric doesn't use gdm sharpK [15:09] i use back tarack 4 [15:09] i new at world linux [15:09] xangua: is there an equivalent? [15:09] it uses light dm sharpK [15:09] so that I can issue certain commands before hte login screen? [15:09] !backtrack | fahad222 [15:09] fahad222: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition [15:10] no one here have any experience with using Ubuntu to log into Switches and make changes ? [15:10] thnx all [15:10] Icehawk78: That isn't to say the gpu is the only chip using power.. all drivers for each device should be scrutinized, though gpu typically uses a considerable amount of power compared to other chips/devices [15:11] xangua: what would be the 11.10 way of issuing commands before the login screen? [15:11] soreau: The fan doesn't appear to ever turn off, and the battery life is exceptionally lower than when I was running Windows, which doesn't quite seem right to me. [15:11] sharpK: i'll care untill i switch from lucid :P sorry [15:12] It's okay, think I found it on the help.ubunutu.com, thanks though [15:12] Icehawk78: Well you could possibly try disabling the intel gpu or switching to the radeon one to see if it's any better with the radeon driver [15:13] soreau: I saw someone else on the Ubuntu forums recommending powertop, which I just installed - I'm not entirely certain if this is right, but there's an entry saying "Audio codec hwC0D3: Intel" has 100% usage (everything else shows ## ms/s for that column) [15:13] Hello. Is Dyalog APL a functional programming language like ML and F#? [15:13] Deltatash: when you say switch, do you mean router? === marco is now known as Guest20938 [15:14] Icehawk78: Ok, that seems to be a smoking gun. Try unloading the audio module completely if possible, to see if it makes a difference [15:14] how can i join a channel [15:14] Icehawk78: lsmod will tell you what modules are loaded, grep for snd or something to see audio modules [15:15] fahad222: /j #channel [15:15] Use /j #channel [15:15] soreau: Any chance you could either walk me through that or point me in the direction of something which could tell me what to do? I'm not especially familiar with doing anything with drivers in linux. [15:16] Icehawk78: Ok, pastebin the output of 'lsmod' to pastebin.com [15:16] lsmod or lsmod | grep snd [15:18] soreau: http://pastebin.com/727X0sNW [15:20] I found a way to make a desktop launcher that launches the desktop launcher edit menu, if anyone using Gnome 3 is interested. [15:20] Icehawk78: Ok, let's assume for a moment that the codec modules are problematic. Try unloading them with 'sudo rmmod snd_hda_codec_hdmi snd_hda_codec_realtek' [15:21] where is the directory that contains all the .desktop files? [15:22] First go to a term, and type gnome-desktop-item-edit --create-new ~/Desktop, then make a shortcut with the command sh -c "cd /usr/bin && ./gnome-desktop-item-edit --create-new ~/Desktop" [15:22] hi all. Does anyone know how to install vga_switcheroo on ubuntu? I've googled for it, and excepting kernel compiling couldn't find an easier way. Thanks [15:22] hot2trot: /home/$HOME/Desktop === Robert_ is now known as Guest56888 [15:23] Assuming there is a separate home, lol [15:23] Actually, nevermind how silly. [15:23] tiox: I mean there is some directory that contains the settings for the various window managers I have installed, like one for unity, one for gnome, etc [15:23] It's the same whether /home is a partition or not, the /home folder still exists. [15:24] OOoh. [15:24] tiox: errr... not settings, but they tell ubuntu to have them in the login screen [15:24] Icehawk78: rmmod is roughly the equivalent of modprobe -r. They both unload a module, which means the kernel code they contain will no longer be used. Modules (drivers) almost always talk directly to the hardware so it could mean the difference between using a lot of power to do stuff or not [15:24] You mean the login config files? [15:24] tiox: I belive so [15:24] Lemme see if I remember this... [15:25] /usr/share/xsessions and /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions I believe. [15:25] tiox: thank you very much, it's hard to google [15:25] But BE CAREFUL editing them. [15:25] i mean, _extreme) caution. [15:26] _extreme_* [15:26] I am thinking about dual booting windows 7 and ubuntu. I am worried about the fact that my laptop is an HP which means that i already have two extra partitons labeled "HP_Recovery" and "HP_Tools". Will adding another os interfere with those? [15:26] If you screw up, there might be no turning back, and you'll have to go to CD and copy those special .desktop files into the folders on your main file system. [15:26] phrostbite, just remove that crap [15:27] phrostbite, install the same windows 7 version, aplly your key and your done [15:27] lnxslck, Doesn't it serve a purpose though [15:27] lnxslck: Unacceptable support behavior. [15:27] But most likely not. [15:27] phrostbite, you can get all the drivers you need for your laptop from the hp site [15:27] phrostbite, is it really so easy to activate nowadays? [15:28] phrostbite, on the other parttion install ubuntu [15:28] phrostbite, installing ubuntu along with windows 7 is extremelly easy [15:28] so then in theory I could just delete those partitions and install ubuntu in the empty space? [15:28] phrostbite, remove all partitions [15:28] phrostbite, make 2 partitions empty not formatted [15:28] phrostbite, on one partition you install windows 7 [15:29] why not reduce the size of your windows partition in windows? [15:29] phrostbite, on the other ubuntu [15:29] then install ubuntu in the new free space [15:29] I don't want to reinstall windows though lol. [15:29] phrostbite, its very easy really, you don't need half of the things that come installed by default by hp [15:29] karachan.org/b [15:30] phrostbite, doing like i told you will get you a cleaner and faster operating system [15:30] I have only used windows 7 for about two months. I used ubuntu on my old laptop for 3 years. So I am a newb when it comes to win7 so teddie i didn;t know you could resize [15:30] soreau: Sorry for the delay. rmmod gave errors on both modules saying that they were in use [15:30] lnxslck, That makes sense. I don't have anything super special that I need to back up. all my pictures and such will fit in my dropbox [15:30] teddie: Just faffing off when saying this really, but are the tools accessible from compmgmt.msc? [15:30] phrostbite: realistically, the main obstacles to shrinking the windows partition will be your page file and stuff like the windows search file [15:31] phrostbite, you can, the thing is, you'll get stuck with all the trash hp installs by default making your laptop slower [15:31] Hmm now to locate a win7 disc since I don;t have one [15:31] That use to be a go-to command I did a bunch to monitor My machine and look at all sorts of neat stuff. [15:31] tiox, yes.. or diskmgmt.msc to go directly to it [15:31] phrostbite, just download it from any site, you'll be apllying a legit key so you're ok [15:32] If you do want to shrink it, you'll want to disable as much stuff like that as you can while you're doing the resize (yes, windows will run w/o a page file - and if you set up a separate swap partition when you install linux, you can use swapfs in windows to use it as the page file location) [15:32] Icehawk78: Ok, so the next step would be to temporarily blacklist them, or not have them load at boot time. In order to do this, we can rely on the fact that a module wont be loaded with an invalid parameter set. As a kernel argument, add module_name.dontloadme=1 and boot it. The module should not be loaded and you can test the effect [15:32] lnxslck: Bad advice as He'll google it, and somehow end up with a copy full of malware. :P [15:33] But still, some good sleuthing with Google and you can find just about anything you can possibly download. [15:34] I ended up finding this site that has links to download the isos. just need to make sure I have the correct one for my key http://techpp.com/2009/11/11/download-windows-7-iso-official-direct-download-links/ [15:34] tiox, depend's where he downloads it, microsoft itsellf told many times that they don't mind if you install a pirate copy and legit it [15:34] phrostbite, as long as you activate with a legit key you'll be fine [15:36] lnxslck: I was partially joking, but it is a topic of serious discussion. If He can, He should find an RTM or other untampered copy. [15:36] But we shouldn't be discussing pirated stuff anyway. [15:36] tiox, but yes, there's a lot of windows copies full of badware [15:37] tiox, the thing is, installing a stripped down windows copy (pirate or not) will get you a cleaner operating system [15:37] !ot | phrostbite lnxslck tiox [15:37] phrostbite lnxslck tiox: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [15:37] * tiox wonders if this is the right command... [15:37] Oh, right. [15:37] I was gonna do that yeats, lol [15:38] Except it was gonna be the pirate discussion one, but nevermind. [15:38] tiox: ;-) [15:38] !illegal [15:38] piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music, and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o [15:39] Woops xchat freaked out [15:41] soreau: Disabled both kernel modules (had to try twice due to a typo) and neither is showing up in lsmod, but powrtop still displays the audio codec as using 100% [15:42] However, the power consumption rate is down to 19850 mW [15:42] Icehawk78: Nice [15:43] Icehawk78: Now that you understand how to do this with modules, you can continue with your own tests [15:43] Icehawk78: preliminary observation, that's nearly half of what it was using before [15:44] hello guys [15:44] hello [15:44] icant add malin ppa in natty any idea why [15:45] please share the error [15:45] soreau: How much damage am I liable to do by turning off a kernel module, or is it entirely reversible by removing the kernel_name.dontuseme=1 from the grub menu entry? [15:45] i get not found when i run the update [15:45] there's your problem, perhaps your distribution/version of ubuntu is not supported [15:46] Icehawk78: It is entirely reversible. It should not do any damage whatsoever [15:46] !find shred [15:46] File shred found in chuck, coreutils, jets3t, kde-icons-crystal, kde-icons-mono, libgalax-ocaml-dev, manpages-de, manpages-fr-extra, manpages-ja, manpages-pl (and 8 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=shred&mode=&suite=oneiric&arch=any [15:46] soreau: Okay, thanks for your help! [15:47] Icehawk78: If however you find that you want to never load a module again, the proper way to disable it would be by blacklisting it [15:47] ! blacklist | Icehawk78 [15:47] Icehawk78: To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist.conf and add « blacklist » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » [15:47] teddie: im om natty yeh i dount it [15:47] Icehawk78: the dontloadme trick is just a hack using a nonexistent module parameter to confuse it into not loading the module [15:48] xsaidx, is natty listed if you browse the ppa in your browser [15:48] teddie: the ppa its in lp [15:48] xsaidx: PPA's are not-supported 3rd party repositories. You need to contact the PPA maintainers for support [15:49] im back again to tell you is not working, i cant boot from usb [15:49] oCean: okay thanks [15:49] Icehawk78: You could use funkytime=1 or thisparamdoesntexist=1 and it would work. This is certainly not a proper way to blacklist a module by any means ;) [15:49] soreau: Gotcha, so use that to figure out what to disable, and then blacklist it once I'm certain I don't want/need that? [15:49] Icehawk78: Right [15:49] soreau: Makes sense. Thanks again! [15:49] what is the gui app for installing a deb file directly? the one that existed before software center? [15:49] Icehawk78: You're very welcome ;-) [15:49] synaptic [15:49] /quit [15:49] peepsalot: or gdebi [15:50] dr_willis, ah i think that's the one i'm thinking of [15:50] looking for pdf reader with annotations, any suggestions? [15:50] lol i have a problem NOBODY in the internet can solve.. linux fails again... [15:50] mamece2: i dont see the logic in that statement.. [15:51] mamece2: Did you try booting the usb stick on another machine? === carlos is now known as Guest69089 [15:51] soreau: yes on 3 of them [15:51] mamece2: Also yes, clearly that logic is flawed. [15:51] i have definatly had some machines not like some usb sticks.. that did boot in other machines. [15:51] mamece2: Is your computer able to boot from usb at all? [15:51] dr_willis: like my problem its got no logic [15:51] bekks: yes it is.. [15:52] mamece2: That's like saying 'my stomach hurts which means pizza is poisonous!' [15:52] Vendor bios differances and quirks.. is the logic i imagine. [15:52] mamece2: Do you suspect that or did you already tried that? [15:52] OMG i should make a paste bin with all the tale.. [15:52] mamece2: put it on the forums. or askubuntu.com [15:52] or both. [15:52] hmm, no gdebi is just running on the command line for me. it didn't look like synaptic either. it was just a small window with just an install button and some description of the package [15:52] hi how can I install from bzr branch ? I am would like to install this onse : lp:~wwwjfy/notify-osd/dual-monitor-fix [15:52] bekks: believe i am trying to solve this the last 3 days [15:52] peepsalot: it has a cli and gui version [15:52] mamece2: Yea, it might be time to escalate your issue to the forums [15:52] peepsalot: thats gedbi's x interface... [15:53] gedbi [15:53] dr_willis: theres a LOT of threads about boot error problem, no body has an answer. i have 2 days searching in forums, and 1 in iRC chats [15:53] i think its gdebi-gtk foo.deb [15:53] mamece2: Did you get identical error messages on all the machines you tried to load it? [15:54] I tend to just set up a grub2 flash drive to boot iso files these days. [15:54] soreau: yes [15:54] or i just dd the 11.10 iso image to flash :) [15:54] dr_willis, ah ok, it's gdebi-gtk [15:54] dr_willis: Can you boot an iso from a hard disk this way? [15:54] peepsalot: :) the power of gdebi [15:54] soreau: with grub2 you can boot an iso from a hd.. and i THINK you can dd an iso to the first partiuton on a hd. but that would be a little odd. [15:55] dr_willis, it shows a bit more info than software center, like the files in the package. though it doesn't show dependency info, that's what I was hoping for [15:55] Hey peeps! Can i use my TV Tuner card with Totem? i'd download VLC, but i don't have an unlimited Internet plan. [15:55] peepsalot: never noticed. I use gdebi because it pulls in needed deps. :) [15:55] !info vlc [15:55] vlc (source: vlc): multimedia player and streamer. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.1.12-2~oneiric1 (oneiric), package size 1375 kB, installed size 3516 kB [15:55] mamece2: ISTR having a bit of trouble the first time I created a bootable usb stick but after trying some other method (that escapes me at the moment) I got it to work [15:55] dr_willis, yeahi wanted to view them but not install the package [15:56] 1.3 mb? or is that 13mb. [15:56] dr_willis: VLC downloads a boatload of extra codecs! [15:56] mamece2: I know that you are trying to solve that for days - but you didnt answer my question. [15:56] yeah, vlc codecs LABcrab .... [15:56] It has to be under 50 MB or i'm not downloading! Also: can Totem watch TV? [15:57] Aka. convert VHS to digital? [15:57] bekks: yes i ve tryed in others pcs [15:57] tried* [15:57] err.. last i lookee vlc included all the codecs it needed built in. :) === max is now known as Guest76934 [15:57] guess i'll live in this chat for a long time.. [15:58] im not sure how 'watch tv' implies. 'convert vhs to digital' You mean you have a vcr plugged into a tv tuner card? [15:58] dr_willis: Yes, and it works sweet with VLC in Windows. i had to grab extra drivers, however. [15:58] I got a $14 converter box that records my video outs to a sd card. :) handy for the wife and her home movie collection. [15:58] dr_willis: USA? [15:58] Hi guys, I know this is the wrong ple [15:59] LABcrab, I use Kaffeine for my Hauppague HVR-950Q, (actually an ext. USB tuner), to watch the "idiot-box", and it works fine.. [15:59] i cant boot from a live usb, i got the boot error message in the first screen, can somebody help me? [15:59] HI! I have a Broadcom 4313gn. Running Ubuntu 11.10 and I have super bad signal strength in ubuntu. What can I do? ASFAIK I am running broadcom drivers === p3kka is now known as p3kkalang3r [16:00] oops.. sorry.. again Hi I know this is the wrong place but i'm hoping some of this stuff is not unique to one linux distro. how do i put some songs on an iphone through linux? i'm using fedora 16 at the minute but just downloading the ubuntu and mint installers [16:00] Sidewinder1: 1) why an "idiot box"? i'll start with Jump5 tapes and move on to movies later. and 2) Kaffeine is KDE, eh? That would download a boatload of KDE files. No thanks. [16:00] !shipit [16:00] Canonical is no longer sending free Ubuntu CDs to individuals through its ShipIt program.

[16:01] Stickers fell off teddie. But it was still nice. [16:01] dr_willis: i don't know. As long as i can read the text "Emergency button" on the Jump5 but, it's good. [16:01] *Jump5 bus [16:02] LABcrab, Idiot-box = Old fashioned term for television; and, yes Kaffeine is KDE and somewhat "heavy" in the download..

Why can't i use S-Video and the card's audio input? Also: http://youtu.be/oaQYFG_E71Q&t=152 i want to be able to read the "emergency button" text on the left of the door. [16:06] is there any ubuntu 11.10 team [16:06] dalesulx: state the questiomn and see who answers [16:07] when are that going to make if easy to install theme in unity [16:07] opps if =it [16:08] dalesulx: use gnome-tweak-tool [16:08] /google webupd8 oneiric tweak [16:08] dalesulx: Yes, they can be seen here http://youtu.be/3KANI2dpXLw [16:08] Unity can use the gnome-3 themes. but the whole themeing of gnome shell and gnome-3 are works in progress. [16:08] it breack unity [16:08] dr_willis: Have you ever watched TV with Ubuntu? [16:08] dalesulx: i got a few themes from the webupd8 blog site tutorial on it. [16:08] LABcrab, Sorry I have no clue, :-( I had to fiddle with my set-up, to "no-end", to finally get it to work.. Since we probably have different hdw. (not to mention diff, versions, 10.04, here) I don't thing I can be of much help. [16:08] LABcrab: ive used tv tuner cards with Mythbuntu in the past. [16:08] It is a Hauppage Sidewinder1. [16:09] dr_willis: Does Myth.tv/Mythbuntu have a huge download size? [16:09] LABcrab: but nothing in the last 2+ years. i need to get a new video capture/tuner card some day [16:09] LABcrab: how is your youtu.be link helpful? [16:09] and i think VLC would be easier. [16:09] LABcrab: bigger the vlc i imagine... [16:09] ya but those theme are ppls and ubuntu want to block them [16:09] LABcrab, Have you looked into Mythtv and tvtime? Might be a good place to start.. [16:09] then vlc... [16:09] !info tvtime [16:09] tvtime (source: tvtime): television display application. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.2-7ubuntu1 (oneiric), package size 686 kB, installed size 2044 kB [16:10] oCean: Because i don't know the 11.10 team? :O [16:10] :P [16:10] LABcrab: Don't give silly answers if you don't have real ones, thank you [16:10] oCean: Do you have an answer then for the 11.10 team? [16:11] dalesulx: huh? be a bit more clear in your statements. I have used custome themes in unity/gnome-shell/gnome-3/gtk3 from the guides at the webupd8 blog site. [16:11] dalesulx: they even have a list of the best looking themes/top 5 list of them. [16:11] i am using Clearlooks for as long as i can. [16:12] oCean: But the one with Jump5 was actually helpful. i want to see text. [16:12] bbl [16:12] clearlooks has too much white, the taskbar is really hard to differentiate windows with [16:12] teddie: Mmhmm. Colours can be changed, however. [16:12] i see [16:13] ya i have theme but evey one talks bad about unity and i like unity the thing im saying gnome breaks unity [16:13] is there a way to remove old kernel versions with oneiric's Software Center or do I have to resort to apt for that?\ [16:14] ~~~~~. [16:14] dalesulx: unity runs on top of gnome-3., gnome does not 'break' unity. [16:14] dalesulx: and people talk bad about everything 'new' and in the next breath they rant about the stuff thats old... so use what you like. [16:15] good afternoon all [16:15] Hi, are packages of KDE 4.8 beta available for Kubuntu or will I have to build from source to test it? [16:15] http://kde.org/announcements/announce-4.8-beta1.php [16:15] fytfytf, There might be a way with Software Ctr.; I know it can be done with Synaptic but you may need to download it. [16:15] bbl [16:16] GirlyGirl: maybe try #ubuntu+1, as you know this channel is for stable releases only [16:16] im still trying to get unity to work on a 2gopc tablet [16:16] oCean: I was referring to backports for 11.10 [16:16] soreau: nope, didnt work :( [16:17] Cube``: What wifi card is it? [16:17] Sidewinder1: I have always used synaptic or aptitude/apt-tools for packagemanagement, but I just wonder as Software Center is now the standard tool (and I have experienced Synaptic/aptitude messing up package management on oneiric a bit...) [16:18] soreau: ah wait, looks like it was bluetooth [16:18] thans brah [16:18] cool [16:18] mamece2: You still havent answered my question: is the computer you are trying to get that working even able to boot from usb? did _that_ ever booted from usb or do you just think it should be able? [16:18] fytfytf, I wouldn't know about that, sorry, 10.04 here.. ;-) [16:19] bekks: ofc it is able, i hit F2 and i set the usb port to be the first drive to boot. also i have booted from usb in that PC before. [16:19] I'll just use apt then... [16:19] :D [16:19] hm, maybe i should give unity another try.. how long did it take most people? i gave up after a few days as i received anxiety attacks like i was trapped in a coffin which took so long to open the lid of when i needed to i feared suffocation [16:20] bekks: could it be a partition problem? ive dl gpart [16:20] fytfytf, Just don't forget the back-ups.. [16:20] mamece2: Maybe. I have no clue what you have done with the usb device. [16:21] teddie, Unity is really very nice, utilize the win key as much as possible :) [16:21] teddie, it really isn't so different from old gnome2 though... just with a side docky and gnome-do all included in a single interface [16:21] * lunitik really doesn't understand why anyone dislikes it [16:21] Hi,docky reports that i need compzing enabled [16:22] bekks: the last thing i did: i got into windows , format in FAT32 and then i made the usb bootable with livelinux. using in each pendrive puppy and ubuntu10 386 images [16:22] compoziting enabled,how do i enable it? [16:22] Nightwalkerkg, so enable it? [16:22] lunitik, I suppose it's the way windows are grouped into a thumbnail.. i have to set windows 7 to not do that too. is it possible in unity? [16:22] !details | Nightwalkerkg [16:22] Nightwalkerkg: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." === thechosenone is now known as applemastertouch [16:23] teddie, it is task oriented instead of window oriented... it is actually pleasant if you get used to it... less clutter about the place [16:23] lunitik how do i enable compoziting? [16:23] Sidewinder1: thanks for reminding me === felipegb is now known as dipe === dipe is now known as felipegb [16:23] fytfytf, My pleasure; beats "working without a net!" [16:23] How is Ubuntu so small yet it has so many drivers included? [16:24] Can I somehow use fglrx to accelerate video decoding by the way? [16:24] LABcrab: ssmall? [16:24] Hi there! I'm looking for a good OS X alternative Linux distro. Any ideas? [16:24] Nightwalkerkg, most have it enabled via compiz ... you can also install libxcomposite1 and that should work [16:24] LABcrab, because many devices share the same chipsets? [16:24] LABcrab: there are incluided in the linux kernel, most of them [16:24] LABcrab: Dont mix up Ubuntu (all thos shine programs) with Linux (the kernel and all drivers). [16:24] thisistheaussiet: ubuntu¿ [16:24] Fixed it,tnx :) [16:25] LABcrab: The kernel including all drivers isnt big at all. [16:25] xangua: Besides Ubuntu. [16:25] thisistheaussiet: well what do you want me to suggest you on the ubuntu channel¿¿ :P [16:25] xangua: -_- I couldn't find a better channel. [16:25] teddie, fwiw, alt+
