[00:00] <DETERMINOLOGY> No doubt genii..Ima get a gpu first then reinstall ive had issues with the intel hd 3000 with it displaying 1080p
[00:00] <guner34> DETERMINOLOGY, which problems?
[00:00] <guner34> DETERMINOLOGY, I have good 1080p display with my sandybridge integrated gpu
[00:00] <DETERMINOLOGY> It wouldnt display 1080p for some odd reason when i was going into display on ubuntu
[00:00] <yaboo> Nov 30 10:56:00 localhost xinetd[26348]: bind failed (Address already in use (errno = 98)). service = telnet
[00:00] <yaboo> Nov 30 10:56:00 localhost xinetd[26348]: Service telnet failed to start and is deactivated.
[00:00] <yaboo> Nov 30 10:56:00 localhost xinetd[26348]: bind failed (Address already in use (errno = 98)). service = telnet
[00:00] <yaboo> Nov 30 10:56:00 localhost xinetd[26348]: Service telnet failed to start and is deactivated.
[00:01] <FloodBot1> yaboo: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:01] <DETERMINOLOGY> Guner34 what did you do to get it to display..I had only 2 options and didnt see 1080p
[00:01] <Scott_S> yaboo: It appears you already have telnet running. That would be the reason it can't bind.
[00:01] <yaboo> Scott_S, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/754297/
[00:01] <guner34> DETERMINOLOGY, it displayed mine correctly directly
[00:01] <yaboo> sorry about the flood
[00:01] <escott> DETERMINOLOGY, what kind of connector from the pc to the display?
[00:02] <DETERMINOLOGY> hdmi
[00:02] <yaboo> Scott_S, ok seems I am already on, but cannot telnet another session
[00:02] <escott> DETERMINOLOGY, and the tv is capable of 1080p
[00:02] <yaboo> Scott_S can I stop the telnet session to rebind?
[00:02] <DETERMINOLOGY> Yeap
[00:02] <guner34> DETERMINOLOGY, tv or pc monitor?
[00:02] <CadetX> does ubuntu 10.10 ship the latest flash (i have 64bit system so i need 64bit flash too) or i should get it from adobe site?
[00:02] <DETERMINOLOGY> Pc monitor
[00:02] <nixxofugi> guner34: ssh-add /path/to/your/private_key   -- allowed me to use nautilus to connect via secure keys
[00:03] <antosha> hi niggers
[00:03] <guner34> nixxofugi, good you found the way to do it :)
[00:03] <Scott_S> yaboo: What reason do you have to rebind it? If it's already running, you should already be able to connect.
[00:03] <theshadow> How do I view Empathy notfications. For example I got the notification "Blah has request to view your status". Before Unity I could click on Empathys icon and view the notification and respond to it. Now I can't figure out where/how to do this.
[00:03] <Scott_S> theshadow: At the top right of your window, there should be a chat-like icon. Click on it, and Empathy should be there.
[00:03] <escott> DETERMINOLOGY, and what was the highest resolution you were offered?
[00:04] <theshadow> Scott_S: nope, I only have an e-mail icon but I don't see any notifications listed.
[00:04] <CadetX> HEY
[00:04] <CadetX> does ubuntu 10.10 ship the latest flash (i have 64bit system so i need 64bit flash too) or i should get it from adobe site?
[00:04] <Scott_S> theshadow: The mail icon has a 'Chat' option. That is the location of Empathy. Other than that, I'm not sure.
[00:04] <haider> how to change setting for installation of untrusted packages
[00:04] <Scott_S> CadetX: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[00:04] <DETERMINOLOGY> i forgot it way under tho no where near 1080p...The screen was all big tho thats kinda all i remember
[00:04] <guner34> DETERMINOLOGY, what 2 options did you get then?
[00:04] <guner34> 800x600 or something?
[00:05] <escott> !info flashplugin-installer | CadetX
[00:05] <CadetX> Scott_S, is that the same with adobes flash from their website (same version and 64bit for my system) ?
[00:05] <CadetX> i want the last version
[00:05] <yaboo> Scott_S getting connection refused
[00:05] <escott> DETERMINOLOGY, and this was 11.10?
[00:05] <haider> how to change setting for installation of untrusted packages??
[00:05] <Scott_S> yaboo: That's odd. Do you remember installing a telnet server before? Or did you specify it when you install the server?
[00:05] <DETERMINOLOGY> Yea
[00:06] <Scott_S> CadetX: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree will give you latest version.
[00:06] <stevecam> hey, im having a problem in facebook, chat and messages that display along the bottem of my window will not show their text properly and i cant type properly unless i have my mouse over the chat dialog, would this be a web page problem, firefox problem or os problem, im using ubuntu 11.10
[00:06] <escott> DETERMINOLOGY, and the integrated intel was the only graphics card on the system
[00:06] <guner34> escott, cadet: actually you should use "sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin"
[00:06] <guner34> not flashplugin-nonfree
[00:06] <haider> how to change setting for installation of untrusted packages??
[00:06] <guner34> atleast, thats what I found on 11.10 64bit
[00:06] <DETERMINOLOGY> I think the res it showed was 1366x768 and yes its the onyl card
[00:06] <DETERMINOLOGY> only^
[00:06] <yaboo> Scott_S, yes using xinetd
[00:06] <theshadow> Is there a place to view a history of notifications?
[00:07] <yaboo> seems it just started working agaon
[00:07] <haider> sum1 pls help??
[00:07] <haider> how to change setting for installation of untrusted packages?
[00:07] <escott> gunner34 adobe-flashplugin doesnt exist
[00:07] <Scott_S> yaboo: xinetd isn't the only server you have installed it seems.
[00:07] <JetJagurXP> escott  I was setting up the system this way....  two 8 GB partitions to be the RAID 16 GB swap.  Two 152 GB partitions to be the 304 GB / and two 200 GB partitions to be the 400 GB /home.
[00:07] <zacarias> do you know a way of synchronizing evolution contacts with thunderbird's? or thunderbird's with Funambol?
[00:07] <yaboo> ok Scott_S
[00:07] <guner34> escott, after enabling the extra repositories it does exist
[00:08] <Scott_S> yaboo: Do you have a telnet client running at the moment?
[00:08] <yaboo> Scott_S, yes I do
[00:08] <escott> guner34, and why would i want to enable extra repos when the other version is in apt?
[00:08] <DETERMINOLOGY> Strange though when i had my dell xps with the i5 2300 intergraded gpu it picked it up just fine
[00:08] <haider> how to change setting for installation of untrusted packages??
[00:08] <Scott_S> yaboo: Close the client and restart the server.
[00:08] <guner34> escott, because that one uses the native flash 64 client
[00:09] <guner34> escott, the other uses a wrapper
[00:09] <Scott_S> haider: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PackageManagerTroubleshootingProcedure
[00:10] <guner34> escott, I think its actually in the standard repository now too
[00:11] <yaboo> Scott_S I did this and no go
[00:12] <Scott_S> yaboo: I'm at the end of my rope then, I'm unsure as to why it's unable to bind unless you already have a server running. You have to stop the other server before you can start the one you want to use.
[00:12] <Timewarper> how can i find out which version of ubuntu i have installed?
[00:13] <Scott_S> Timewarper: Type 'systeminfo' into the start menu.
[00:13] <guner34> Timewarper, type "system monitor" in the search bar
[00:14] <Scott_S> Timewarper: 'System Info' sorry.
[00:16] <itaylor57> what ever happened to the usual terminal command lsb_release?
[00:17] <Scott_S> itaylor57: It appears to still be there.
[00:18] <mbeierl> I miss the days of command lines...  So, I submitted a print job to a network printer that worked last week.  Today, the job gets submitted, but nothing shows up on the print server.  In the print queue, the job says "held until <5 minutes from now>".  So I release the job, it goes to processing... and then it says it's held again.  How do I troubleshoot it?
[00:19] <Coded1> hello all
[00:19] <_jason> mbeierl: you know you can still use a command line :)
[00:19] <reisio> hi Coded1
[00:19] <ravigehlot> I am trying to wake the screensaver remotely using xscreesaver-command -deactivate but it does not work. It says no display available at 0:0. Any ideas in how to fix that?
[00:19] <mbeierl> _jason: I don't know how to find the printers that are auto discovered for the cupsys from the command line either
[00:19] <jtreminio> Hello everyone. compiz seems to be taking up between 10 and 15% cpu all the time. Is this normal?
[00:20] <Coded1> reisio: hey buddy! long time no see!
[00:20] <_jason> mbeierl: I don't either.  Have you tried using localhost:631 (the cups web interface)
[00:20] <reisio> Coded1: hello good buddy
[00:20] <mbeierl> _jason: ah.  nope. I did submit from the lpr command line and it gives the same thing.  job just help...
[00:20] <_jason> ravigehlot: you're passing "DISPLAY=:0"?
[00:20] <JetJagurXP> If I have 8 Gig of RAM is 12 GB Swap the right size for it?
[00:20] <reisio> jtreminio: if you don't have a proper GPU it's probably more normal
[00:20] <ravigehlot> _jsason: I set DISPLAY to 0.0
[00:21] <_jason> ravigehlot: and now my suggestion?
[00:21] <guner34> JetJagurXP, I have 8gb of RAM, I used 8gb swap
[00:21] <Coded1> I'm running Unity on 11.10 what is the best way to introduce some eye candy ?  I tried compiz-settings-manager and it borked much of the Unity UI
[00:22] <mbeierl> _jason: aha.  localhost:631 at least tells me that for my printer it's got an error: Idle - "SpliX Cannot get input slot information."  Time to google....
[00:22] <ravigehlot> _jason: no man
[00:22] <guner34> JetJagurXP, if youre not using very much memory hungry programs, 2gb would be sufficient too
[00:22] <reisio> Coded1: you might look into the GNOME shell extensions
[00:22] <_jason> ravigehlot: why?
[00:22] <ravigehlot> _jason: I am not sure man
[00:22] <guiri> I'm a bit confuzed by fglrx.  When I do sudo apt-cache showpkg fglrx-updates, it says that it's installing 8.902, which is catalyst 11.10.  But opening 'amdcccle' shows that only 11.8 is being used.  How is this possible?
[00:22] <_jason> ravigehlot: why don't you try my suggestion?
[00:22] <mbeierl1> _jason: thanks for getting me started. That should get me going a fair ways now that I see what the error is.
[00:22] <JetJagurXP> I am using the system for VM's.  Software testing.  Using VirtualBox.
[00:23] <_jason> mbeierl1: no problem, good luck
[00:23] <ravigehlot> _jason: I di
[00:23] <ravigehlot> _jason: DISPLAU=:0
[00:23] <_jason> ravigehlot: what did you type exactly?
[00:23] <ravigehlot> _jason: DISPLAY=:0
[00:23] <_jason> ravigehlot: you need to put the command after it
[00:24] <ravigehlot> _jason: xscreensaver-command -deactivate
[00:24] <_jason> ravigehlot: right, you need to put those two things on one line
[00:26] <ravigehlot> _jason: okay. let me try
[00:27] <ravigehlot> _jason: Now it says that no protocol was specified
[00:27] <_jason> ravigehlot: paste full input and output to a pastebin
[00:29] <pist0l-fish> how does one add windows to the grub bootloader, i'm not familiar with the grub.cfg format
[00:30] <_jason> !grub | pist0l-fish
[00:31] <JetJagurXP> Alright, lets get philosophical.  What size Swap should I use for a system with 8 Gig RAM that will be running VirtualBox.  Running Win7 vm's to test software.
[00:33] <pist0l-fish> _jason: running update-grub doesn't detect my NTFS partition with windows on it
[00:35] <pist0l-fish> _jason: I just want to add windows like one would with menu.lst, is there no equivalent to that in grub2?
[00:36] <Tallken> update-grub should do that autom
[00:36] <pist0l-fish> well it does not
[00:36] <stevecam> is brasero not the default burning utility in ubuntu anymore?
[00:36] <Tallken> pist0l-fish, I'll paste you mine, wait
[00:37] <tash> can someone help me out with samba config?
[00:37] <celthunder> tash: more details?
[00:37] <tash> celthunder: yep, just wanted to make sure someone was listening :)
[00:38] <Tallken> pist0l-fish, http://pastebin.com/55BPqBSa -- do note I'm on Fedora but both Fedora 16 and Ubuntu use GRUB2 now, so it should be the same
[00:38] <niftylettuce> how do I do the mount as sudo thing for another hard drive?
[00:38] <tash> I want users to login to their shares with their username/password. But, it seems like when 1 user attempts to sign in, he is being forced to give a guest password
[00:38] <MSquared> I was having trouble getting both monitors to display properly, so after playing around in nvidia's settings manager I tried uninstalling the restricted drivers with the intent to reinstall, now I can't seem to get any sort of gui going.
[00:38] <niftylettuce> e.g. I want to modify boot loader on my normal partition from the ubuntu live CD
[00:38] <pist0l-fish> Tallken: thank you so much. what file does this go into?
[00:38] <niftylettuce>  /etc/default/grub
[00:38] <tash> celthunder: I did have 'guest ok = yes' but I commented it out and restarted smbd
[00:39] <Tallken> pist0l-fish, /boot/grub[2]/grub.cfg
[00:39] <JetJagurXP> So no one has an opinion about swap size?
[00:39] <reisio> JetJagurXP: how much RAM?
[00:39] <Tallken> JetJagurXP, depends; old days: twice the RAM; nowadays: RAM plus a bit to allow hibernate
[00:40] <niftylettuce> nvm i got it
[00:40] <reisio> just the same as RAM should suffice
[00:40] <Tallken> JetJagurXP, personally, with 2GB of RAM, I use 2500MB for swap
[00:40] <reisio> even less, but no need to push that
[00:40] <JetJagurXP> NEVER hibernate.  EVER!
[00:40] <Untitled_only> later peps
[00:40] <reisio> JetJagurXP: heheh
[00:40] <tash> here is my smb.conf regarding the particular share I want to share and have users log in to http://pastebin.com/7UgDxeqA
[00:40] <Tallken> JetJagurXP, ?
[00:40] <reisio> JetJagurXP: some people have laptops :D
[00:40] <reisio> or other energy requirements
[00:40] <Tallken> with batteries misbehaving
[00:40] <JetJagurXP> Ah, sorry.  This is a desktop system.
[00:41] <reisio> indeed
[00:41] <Tallken> eheh
[00:41] <reisio> and with a backup system in place, and the cheapness of hard drives, it's not a big deal
[00:41] <Tallken> laterz
[00:41] <JetJagurXP> So then SWAP = 1 * RAM  ????
[00:41] <reisio> JetJagurXP: I'd basically do two times RAM for under 1GB RAM, and the same as RAM for up to 2 or 4
[00:42] <reisio> swap partitions can be very handy in a jam
[00:42] <reisio> as they're non-essential
[00:42] <tash> if someone wants to map a drive onto their windows computer ( share lives on linux ), how do they specify the username to login with?
[00:42] <reisio> you can use them to install a whole other OS onto in a pinch
[00:42] <JetJagurXP> This system has 8 Gig of RAM.  4 core proc.
[00:42] <pist0l-fish> Tallken: i get an error now: error: no such device: STRANGETEXTHERE
[00:42] <pist0l-fish> wtf.
[00:43] <bl4ckcomb> tash, you mean with a samba share?
[00:43] <reisio> JetJagurXP: eh, give it 2GB swap
[00:43] <reisio> JetJagurXP: rainy day and all that
[00:43] <JetJagurXP> Alright 2 gig it is.
[00:43] <tash> bl4ckcomb: yes
[00:43] <ravigehlot> _jason: are you still there?
[00:43] <bl4ckcomb> when mapping the drive, windows will usually prompt for a username / password. this should be a user that's in the smbpasswd database
[00:43] <tash> I setup samba, user gets prompted for guest password
[00:43] <_jason> ravigehlot: yes
[00:44] <tash> windows prompted this user for guest password
[00:44] <ravigehlot> _jason: Sorry. I was telling my girlfriend how to ssh to our development server. so what else can I do about xscreesaver?
[00:44] <_jason> ravigehlot: paste full input and output to a pastebin
[00:44] <ravigehlot> _jason: k
[00:44] <juancho> hola
[00:44] <bl4ckcomb> tash do you have security = user in your smb.conf?
[00:44] <juancho> necesito ayuda
[00:45] <tash> bl4ckcomb: checking
[00:45] <bl4ckcomb> tash, also, check whether you have guest ok = no in your share definition
[00:45] <tash> bl4ckcomb: yes, security = share
[00:45] <bl4ckcomb> tash, you mean 'no, security = share'
[00:45] <pist0l-fish> Tallken: any ideas?
[00:45] <bl4ckcomb> it should be security = user
[00:46] <tash> in smb.conf I see a line that says 'security = share'
[00:46] <jiffe1> anyone know of any reading material covering the ubuntu certified professional exam topics w/ 10.04 ?
[00:46] <ravigehlot> _jason: http://pastebin.com/DdWXemHK
[00:46] <tash> and in my share config I did not have 'guest ok = no'
[00:47] <jiffe1> I hear the book which covers 8.04 is pretty outdated
[00:47] <tash> bl4ckcomb: would you suggest 'security = user' ?
[00:47] <bl4ckcomb> tash, yes, that's what I'm trying to
[00:47] <_jason> ravigehlot: run it as the user that's logged in
[00:47] <ravigehlot> _jason: k
[00:47] <bl4ckcomb> tash, since 'share' is deprecated
[00:48] <niftylettuce> Okay I'm looking for a hand, I've spent tons of time getting up to this point, now it appears that my partition "is not a block device" -- I'm trying to add an option to /boot/default/grub using the Ubuntu Live CD 11.10 on my partition which is located at /media/f37512d3-....~  , I run `sudo mount /media/f37512d3-.... /mnt and it gives me that error of "is not a block device"
[00:48] <tash> k, will have him try now
[00:48] <bl4ckcomb> then make sure your users are in the database, using smbpasswd(8)
[00:48] <niftylettuce> It appears something happened with my MBR or grub or something but when I go to boot after a clean install of 11.10 it goes straight to DHCP like its trying to boot from the network?
[00:48] <Pici> niftylettuce: you need to mount devices (things in /dev/) not mountpoints
[00:49] <ravigehlot> _jason: xscreensaver-command: no screensaver is running on display :0
[00:49] <_jason> ravigehlot: are you sure you have xscreensaver running and not gnome-screensaver?
[00:49] <ravigehlot> _jason: gnome-screensaver
[00:49] <_jason> ravigehlot: try gnome-screensaver-command
[00:50] <niftylettuce> also my grub file looks odd, as it has the line GRUB_DISTRUBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`  --> is that normal for it to say Debian?
[00:50] <niftylettuce> it looks like my MBR is whack
[00:50] <genii-around> niftylettuce: If you just issue the command: mount    by itself, you will see that some device in /dev is already mounted to /media/f37512d3-
[00:50] <niftylettuce> i mean it wont even boot into Ubuntu it goes straight to boot from DHCP despite even specifying it
[00:50] <schime> Hello I wonder what a repository is :) Seems important to know as it often comes up.
[00:51] <ravigehlot> _jason: it is not even installed...installing it
[00:51] <niftylettuce> specifying it being my hard drive
[00:51] <niftylettuce> (as selected boot device)
[00:51] <somsip> schime: a central (though possibly distributed across many locations) store of software
[00:51] <needhelp1> does ubuntu one use amazon  ec2 ?
[00:52] <niftylettuce> genii-around: i keep getting "Mount point does not exist"
[00:52] <niftylettuce> oh wait its sda not hda
[00:52] <tash> bl4ckcomb:  it still seems to be forcing him to login as gues
[00:52] <tash> guest
[00:53] <schime> somsip I might try disable the dropbox, then someone said that it will made the repsitory stop ticking. What do you think he means?
[00:53] <ravigehlot> _jason: http://pastebin.com/mZdS4sVd
[00:53] <schime> make*
[00:53] <somsip> schime: it means he's used inappropriate jargon :)
[00:53] <niftylettuce> how can I fix my MBR?
[00:54] <_jason> ravigehlot: don't know
[00:54] <bl4ckcomb> tash, have you added users to your smbpasswd database?
[00:54] <ravigehlot> _jason: alright
[00:54] <niftylettuce> it looks like there is some fa16 file system that has a boot flag and its only 20 mb versus my ext4 without boot flag and it has 300gb
[00:54] <ravigehlot> _jason: thanks for the help
[00:54] <ravigehlot> exit
[00:54] <niftylettuce> fat16*
[00:55] <schime> somsip hmm okey, so what did he mean with the jargong? :S
[00:55] <tash> bl4ckcomb:no
[00:55] <tash> didn't know there was one :P
[00:55] <tash> ugh, sorry
[00:55] <tash> how so?
[00:55] <bl4ckcomb> tash, for the third time: add users using the smbpasswd(8) utility
[00:55] <tash> sorry if I missed it before ... doing too many things at once
[00:56] <bl4ckcomb> if you're not female, don't
[00:56] <MSquared> The fallback graphics drivers report that they failed, and whenever I execute a command that requires graphics, like unity-2d-desktop, it says display not found.
[00:56] <somsip> schime: well, it doesn't really make sense. He might just mean that if you disable Dropbox, it won't update your local directory with new files that are added to your Dropbox or your shared Dropbox by other people
[00:57] <tash> bl4ckcomb: got the user off the phone ... doing man smbpasswd so I know how to add
[00:57] <bl4ckcomb> ;]
[00:57] <tash> I tried smbpasswd billm, typed the password twice and it said it couldn't locate the user
[00:57] <tash> so I must be doing something wrong and need to read the man
[00:57] <JoeSomebody> anyone able to help make a hp 1020 print?
[00:58] <schime> somsip okey, i doesnt sound very good. The thing is that the dropbox for pinguyos is down and I found a video showing how to come around this by disabling the dropbox... but if I wont get any updates after that it might not be the best option :/
[00:58] <genii-around> tash: smbpasswd -a someone    then after: smbpasswd -e someone   ( add, then enable)
[00:58] <bl4ckcomb> JoeSomebody, tried foo2zjs?
[00:59] <JoeSomebody> haven't tried anything yet except the defaults for that printer
[00:59] <JoeSomebody> is that the first one of the 3 listed?
[00:59] <bl4ckcomb> JoeSomebody, http://benaiah41.wordpress.com/2007/07/06/installing-a-hp-laserjet-1020-on-ubuntu-feisty/
[00:59] <somsip> schime: if you disable dropbox, dropbox will probably not work. I have no idea about pinguyos.
[00:59] <tash> genii-around: thanks
[00:59] <bl4ckcomb> JoeSomebody, that method worked for my HP 1018
[00:59] <JoeSomebody> bl4ckcomb, thanks
[01:00] <tash> I take it the user must exist on the server to begin with?
[01:00] <tash> I'm going to have the user attempt to map the drive now.
[01:00] <bl4ckcomb> tash, yes, how would you otherwise give him FS access?
[01:01] <genii-around> tash: samba users can be totally separate from system users, but usually the practice is to keep the names and passwords synced, yes
[01:01] <schime> somsip okey, thank you. Do you know if its important to have the latest kernel running before trying out the compiz settings? (the dropbox would have given me the latest kernal installations)
[01:01] <tash> strange, it still wants him to be guest
[01:02] <tash> restarted the samba service just now.
[01:02] <bl4ckcomb> tash, have you restarted the smbd service?
[01:02] <tash> trying again
[01:02] <tash> still asking for guest.
[01:02] <tash> guest pass that is
[01:02] <niftylettuce> ugh I tried sudo update-grub and it just hangs on DHCP... on boot
[01:02] <niftylettuce> how can I repair my MBR?
[01:03] <somsip> schime: I know nothing about pinguyos and it is not supported in this channel.
[01:03] <bl4ckcomb> tash try the > net use ... way instead of GUI
[01:03] <tash> bl4ckcomb: ok
[01:03] <niftylettuce> there are 3 partitions /sda1 /sda2 and /sda3, it looks like /sda1 is 20mb and has  boot flag, but /sda2 is where my /home /var etc. directories are and it doesnt have a boot flag on it
[01:03] <niftylettuce> there is also /sda3 which is a linux-swap equal to 4gb (my ram size)
[01:04] <niftylettuce> does /sda1 have a boot flag on purpose?
[01:04] <schime> somsip asking about kernels :/ (thought it would be okey about pinguyOS as its built upon ubuntu)
[01:05] <Melekin> Howdy
[01:05] <somsip> !support | schime
[01:05] <somsip> !pinguyos | schime
[01:06] <somsip> schime: oh well. I guess pinguyos adds something that ubuntu does not have. Not knowing what that is makes it difficultto comment accurately
[01:06] <Coded1> is compiz still the defacto eye candy with 11.10?  compiz-manager seems to bork unity everytime I use it
[01:08] <tash> net use gave error 67
[01:08] <tash> dumb windoze
[01:08] <tash> restarting the windows box to see if it is something stupid
[01:08] <Melekin> Having an odd issue with my Wifi...  When I try to connect to a network, it pops up a message that indicates I need to enter a password...  However, there's no password dialogue...  Any ideas?
[01:09] <ouyes> Hey, I have a problem, I have installed ubuntu 10.04 and with a user ouyes, but I want to add one more user, and that user has the less privilege than ouyes, and he can not view anything of ouyes's but only his, how can I do this?
[01:09] <ouyes> thank you
[01:13] <tash> after a windows reboot, the user can now type his username and password
[01:14] <tash> but rejects him as if password is wrong.  I just reset the password via passwd ... and I even did the same with smbpasswd
[01:14] <tash> I did smbpasswd -e earlier to enable ... any thoughts?
[01:14] <ruser> if it possible to boot an iso using legacy 0.97 grub?
[01:16] <w0_> where can I find how much of my RAM is shared to my onboard video? (11.10) much thx
[01:16] <JetJagurXP> Dumb question.  If I am setting up a seperate /boot partition the bootable flag has to be set to "on" correct?
[01:17] <reisio> not really no
[01:17] <ruser> s/if/is
[01:17] <reisio> but there's no particular reason to not turn it on
[01:17] <ruser> JetJagurXP: if you are using grub it doesn't have to be on
[01:17] <JetJagurXP> That is the issue I'm having trouble with.  Grub doesn't want to boot my system when I use software raid.
[01:18] <Narc> Hey everyone. On 11.10, I installed sun-java6 from a ppa, removed OpenJDK and I decided to move back to OpenJDK but now javac is not found and update-java-alternatives gives me a long list of errors. Anyone can help me fix the java :) ?
[01:18] <JetJagurXP> So I was setting up a seperate /boot partition.
[01:18] <ruser> JetJagurXP: don't know about lvm/raid
[01:18] <ruser> in fact i'm trying to fix a windows boot :( with legacy grub 0.97
[01:18] <JetJagurXP> Not using LVM
[01:19] <Make_Dots> morning :D
[01:19] <xiaolindraconis> i just migrated my home folder to a new user account and forgot to include the Desktop folder. now my home folder shows on the desktop. how do i fix that?
[01:20] <AndrewMC> xiaolindraconis: Create a new "Desktop" folder and restarts nautilus? (Only guessing here)
[01:20] <tash> interesting, before the user even attempted to login with username/password, I see this in the samba log directory: param/loadparm.c: 8569(process_usershare_file)
[01:20] <tash> process_usershare_file: stat of /var/lib/samba/usershares/data failed. Permission denied
[01:22] <xiaolindraconis> AndrewMC, sry
[01:22] <AndrewMC> xiaolindraconis: I think this solves your problem, http://goo.gl/XvsKw
[01:22] <tash> ownership on /var/lib/samba/usershares is root:sambashare
[01:23] <tash> do I need to add my users to that group?
[01:23] <xiaolindraconis> Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to www.linuxquestions.org
[01:24] <xiaolindraconis> got it
[01:24] <visual1ce> hi
[01:25] <AndrewMC> xiaolindraconis: Reply #2 is mainly what I am point you to
[01:25] <visual1ce> im running 10.10 and thinking of upgrading to 11.10 but i'm not sure if i can get thunderbird to operate in a similar manner to evolution - i have subfolders in inbox with filters which filter incoming messages and send to appropriate subfolders - can i do this in the latest version of thunderbird that is bundled with 11.10?
[01:25] <xiaolindraconis> reading something bout .config checking into it
[01:25] <xiaolindraconis> thanks for the nudge
[01:26] <xiaolindraconis> google didnt want to co-operate with me
[01:26] <imajes> hey, anyone able to give me tips on how to timeout dead ssh connections?
[01:26] <Make_Dots> using ping ?
[01:27] <Guest96428> I'm in a live session and need to install Ubuntu to the host computer, but for some reason the desktop doesn't have a shortcut to the installer on it. Does anyone know what the command to start the installation is?
[01:27] <AndrewMC> visual1ce: I'm fairly sure thunderbird has the filters, the quesition is, can you export the config from evolution to Tbird, ill check that
[01:27] <tash> bl4ckcomb still there?
[01:28] <reisio> Guest96428: should've been an option to start it at the bootup screen, after 'Try...'
[01:28] <tash> this samba issue is killing me here ... argh
[01:28] <bl4ckcomb> tash, short answer: your share has to be accessible for the user on FS and SMB level
[01:28] <xiaolindraconis> AndrewMC, thanks bud that was the problem
[01:28] <AndrewMC> xiaolindraconis: not a problem
[01:29] <bl4ckcomb> so you need do chown it to the user
[01:29] <bl4ckcomb> or give sufficient permissions
[01:29] <tash> I already did that
[01:29] <tash> chown user:user directory and it looks like it has 777 on it
[01:29] <bl4ckcomb> note that all intermediate directories also need to be traversable by the user
[01:29] <tash> I know not adviseable for 777
[01:29] <tash> k
[01:30] <bl4ckcomb> so the intermediate directories need o+x (or u+x/g+x, depending on the owner)
[01:30] <tash> just curious ... why would the error show up in the logs even before the attempt to login
[01:30] <tash> they show up as soon as he clicks on the finish button to attempt to map the drive.
[01:31] <bl4ckcomb> I wouldn't know a certain answer to that
[01:32] <bl4ckcomb> btw, try su <user> -c 'ls /path/to/share' to see whether the user has access
[01:32] <tash> ok, thanks
[01:34] <prometheus> Hi there, I need to replace html tags in file. Can you help with my sed script please? From some reason it doesn't "replace" the nearest closing tag... sed -i 's|\(<span class="BOOK_strong">\)\(.*\)\(</span>\)|\2|g' file.htm
[01:35] <bl4ckcomb> prometheus, sed doesn't know non-greedy modifiers afaik
[01:35] <reisio> prometheus: you're escaping the (.*)'s closing paren
[01:35] <tash> bl4ckcomb: the su - <user> -c 'ls /path' listed contents for the user
[01:35] <reisio> and opening for that matter
[01:35] <reisio> is that normal? :p
[01:35]  * reisio uses perl
[01:35] <bl4ckcomb> reisio, he should, it's sed
[01:36] <reisio> k
[01:36] <reisio> another reason to not use sed :p
[01:36] <tash> and I'm tailing /var/log/samba/log.computername ... as soon as he attempts to map, prior to username/password, I see the Permission denied errors
[01:36] <tash> stat of /var/lib/samba/usershares/data failed. No such file or directory
[01:36] <bl4ckcomb> reisio, there is actually no reason to use regex for HTML...
[01:36] <bl4ckcomb> he should parse it
[01:37] <reisio> oh there are plenty of reasons
[01:37] <reisio> but he should parse it, yes
[01:37] <reisio> prometheus: dunno about sed, but perl does .*?, fwiw
[01:37] <bl4ckcomb> prometheus, any chance that there is a '<' before the closing tag? otherwise just replace .* by \[]\]*
[01:38] <bl4ckcomb> eh ...
[01:38] <bl4ckcomb> correction: replace .* by \[<\]*
[01:38] <ic3b3rg> join #reddit
[01:38] <bl4ckcomb> -.-
[01:39] <Dj_FlyBy{MS}> hmm, looks like Ubuntu didn't recognize my sound card... guess I'll have to look that up
[01:39] <Staly_Nick> hi whats goin on with ubuntu? after few days uptime its goin crazy, hdd is like grr grr grr and i cant do nothing, even X mouse cursor don't move, or move like by slideshow. Mayby its some memory lack?
[01:39] <tash> anyone see anything wrong with these smb share configs? http://pastebin.com/HdwjUFYR
[01:39] <Dj_FlyBy{MS}> figured it would. It's an old Audigy 2
[01:39] <tash> s/configs/whatever_the_correct_term_is/g
[01:39] <tash> assuming that those paths are real
[01:40] <bl4ckcomb> reisio, which reasons? html is not a regular language to begin with...
[01:40] <ifewalter> @Staly_nick perhaps you should run fsck on your harddrive
[01:40] <reisio> bl4ckcomb: how many reasons do you need?  regex on HTML works
[01:40] <bl4ckcomb> reisio, one would be sufficient
[01:40] <tash> the user that is tryping to map Op-Plans is failing to login. I see the error in /var/log/samba/log.computername even before he types username/password. I don't know if my config is wrong or what.
[01:40] <reisio> some people paint with a handheld paintbrush, some people get a magical spraying device of doom
[01:40] <reisio> bl4ckcomb: that was one :p
[01:41] <bl4ckcomb> one reason that resembles logic?
[01:41] <reisio> bl4ckcomb: that was one :p
[01:41] <bl4ckcomb> are you alien?
[01:41] <reisio> no need to learn another tool if the one you already know does the job
[01:42] <bl4ckcomb> the point is that it doesn't... if you know what a regular language is, then you should know that HTML isn't one and thus cannot be parsed by regular expressions
[01:42] <reisio> no, the point is that it does
[01:42] <reisio> not as well as parsing it, no
[01:43] <reisio> agreed with that at the outset
[01:43] <reisio> but frequently it works just fine
[01:43] <reisio> no education required
[01:46] <LABcrab> Hello!  Quick question: how do i hide the GRUB menu?
[01:47] <bl4ckcomb> LABcrab, in /boot/grub/menu.lst, uncomment hiddenmenu and set the timeout to 0
[01:47] <LABcrab> bl4ckcomb: Do i hold down Shift to manually enter it?  Can i edit menu.lst without booting to Ubuntu?
[01:48] <cipherboy> Okay, so questions about using gnome-classic with Ubuntu 11.10
[01:48] <hilarie> cipherboy it sucks, what do you want to know?
[01:48] <qin> LABcrab: What wersion?
[01:48] <qin> *version?
[01:48] <bl4ckcomb> LABcrab, it's a regular file, you can edit it like any file
[01:48] <LABcrab> qin: Version 2
[01:49] <cipherboy> hilarie: :D First of all, in pigin, when I go to change my status (click on menu, etc) the menu appears then instantly disappears.
[01:49] <Staly_Nick> ifewalter: nope, that is not in file cons. Some people have the same prob. Its seems like "bye bye linux!"
[01:49] <cipherboy> I have to click, hold, and drag to get it to stay up such that I can select a status.
[01:49] <LABcrab> Also, how do i make Windows the default OS?
[01:49] <cipherboy> (click, hold the click, then drag the cursor to the desired status)
[01:49] <bl4ckcomb> LABcrab, have your read the manual on menu.lst?
[01:49] <bl4ckcomb> it should be quite clear
[01:49] <cipherboy> LABcrab: easy question, hard solution
[01:49] <qin> bl4ckcomb: Not sudo, but menu.lst seems to be grub1
[01:49] <jiffe1> anyone know of any study material covering the ubuntu certified professional exam topics w/ 10.04 ?
[01:49] <LABcrab> bl4ckcomb: Nope.  :(
[01:49] <Xiol> I thought menu.lst was deprecated with GRUB2?
[01:50] <LABcrab> cipherboy: Why?
[01:50] <cipherboy> LABcrab: bl4ckcomb: it generally requires editing /etc/default/grub
[01:50] <hilarie> cipherboy my recommendation is to downgrade to 11.04, most suckyness should be fixed, I am sorry I can't offer you better advice :)
[01:50] <cipherboy> Wait, nvmind.
[01:50] <Staly_Nick> hilarie: 11.04 ucks
[01:50] <cipherboy> *to LABcrab confusing with automatically booting wtih no delay windows
[01:50] <cipherboy> my bad
[01:50] <hilarie> Staly_Nick 11.04 *classic*
[01:50] <cipherboy> hilarie: I had 11.04 until 2h ago.
[01:51] <LABcrab> i just want to make the menu invisible without the Shift key.
[01:51] <cipherboy> hilarie: Staly_Nick no, 10.04 LTS is better.
[01:51] <hilarie> cipherboy 2 hours ago is where you made your mistake
[01:51] <cipherboy> hilarie: more like 3 when I decided to do it. :D
[01:51] <Staly_Nick> cipherboy: whats LTS?
[01:51] <hilarie> Gonna check out mint next weekend :)
[01:51] <cipherboy> Staly_Nick: Long term support
[01:52] <hilarie> my understanding is its a ubuntu fork
[01:52] <ifewalter> @Staly_Nicks - LTS = Long term support
[01:52] <cipherboy> hilarie: Personally gentoo, but not a big enough processor
[01:52] <reisio> jiffe1: LPI?
[01:52] <bl4ckcomb> fedora beats ubuntu since they came up with Unity
[01:52] <reisio> ...
[01:52] <hilarie> cipherboy I am getting more comfortable with CLI gonna give Arch a shot :)
[01:53] <jiffe1> reisi: yeah he lpi-199
[01:53] <Staly_Nick> ive heard that people got new pc with winows and fedora installed on
[01:53] <Xiol> hilarie: Arch is good, tis what I use. You just need lots of time to mess with it.
[01:53] <hilarie> Xiol if I can get a usable desktop in 48 hours, I will be good
[01:53] <bl4ckcomb> Xiol, it's ok when you compare it to freeBSD :p
[01:53] <hilarie> if not, the ubuntu 11.04 disk will be ready
[01:54] <hilarie> Free Blue Screen of Death?
[01:54] <cipherboy> LABcrab: fun you will have. Line in /etc/default/grub sets default menu number (starts at 1 not zero), to the number that windows is on the menu list.
[01:54] <reisio> jiffe1: let's see...
[01:54] <bl4ckcomb> no, actually the contrary
[01:54] <Xiol> hilarie: meh, move to Fedora if you want something no-fuss!
[01:54] <cipherboy> LABcrab: issue is, you have to modify it every time you get a new Ubuntu kernel.
[01:54] <hilarie> Xiol you think 48 hours wont be long enough?
[01:54] <bl4ckcomb> freeBSD is one of the most enjoyable systems out there
[01:54] <bl4ckcomb> if you have a lot of spare time that is
[01:55] <Xiol> hilarie: yeah, you should be up and running in less than 3... it'll just take you 48 hours to get everything how you want it :p
[01:55] <LABcrab> cipherboy: No biggie for now.
[01:55] <hilarie> Xiol perfect :)
[01:55] <Staly_Nick> than what, arch, gentoo, fedora, freebsd, or ubuntu?
[01:56] <hilarie> I just wish my seedbox would come back up :(
[01:56] <reisio> jiffe1: have a thing around here somewhere,
[01:56] <Xiol> Staly_Nick: That's a pretty good order you've got going there :)
[01:56] <hilarie> My Ubuntu 11.10 ratio was up to over 100
[01:56] <bl4ckcomb> it's over 9000!
[01:57] <LABcrab> i got to the grub file.
[01:57] <cipherboy> LABcrab: had to set that up for friend. Wanted Ubuntu, rest of family couldn't use anything but windows. Set it up to automatically boot windows
[01:57] <reisio> over 9000, good ratio
[01:57] <LABcrab> cipherboy: So what number is Windows?  How do i find that?  And how do i hide GRUB unless i hold down Shift?
[01:57] <hilarie> over 9k?
[01:57] <ic3b3rg> how do i check for updates to OS in 11.10??
[01:58] <Xiol> LABcrab: check /etc/defaults/grub, everything in there should be nicely commented
[01:58] <hilarie> ic3b3rd sudo apt-get udate
[01:58] <hilarie> update*
[01:58] <LABcrab> Xiol: It's not so clear to me.
[01:58] <hilarie> then sudo apt-get upgrade
[01:58] <cipherboy> Xiol: not in mine from 11.04
[01:58] <ic3b3rg> ok thanks. i was doing apt-get update thx
[01:59] <cipherboy> ic3b3rg: hilarie First you run apt-get upDATE then you run apt-get upGRADE. upDATE the list, upGRADE the packages.
[01:59] <Staly_Nick> best X is?
[01:59] <Xiol> cipherboy: Haven't used Ubuntu since 10.04 so maybe I'm just out of the loop.
[02:00] <cipherboy> Xiol: Nice. The last good release. :D
[02:00] <Xiol> cipherboy: Exactly. Moved to Arch for desktop, Fedora on the laptop and CentOS on the servers.
[02:00] <Staly_Nick> Why Arch?
[02:01] <reisio> why more than one distro...
[02:01] <reisio> makes no sense
[02:01] <cipherboy> Xiol: tribooted ubuntu (10.04) and gentoo and xp on laptop until it broke.
[02:01] <Xiol> Staly_Nick: It was eitehr that or my old favourite Gentoo, but I'm impatient. So Arch.
[02:01] <reisio> they all do the same thing
[02:01] <reisio> it suggests you haven't learned any one of them properly
[02:01] <cipherboy> Staly_Nick: beacuse it is closer to ubuntu.
[02:01] <cipherboy> reisio: good point
[02:01] <Xiol> reisio: I'm a Linux sysadmin. It helps to try different systems and stuff, keeps me sharp. Plus I like to experiement, and wouldn't have anything else on a server except for CentOS/RHEL (which I wouldn't run on the desktop)
[02:02] <cipherboy> Xiol: you run fluxbox?
[02:02]  * reisio shrugs
[02:02] <Xiol> cipherboy: Used to. On my home stuff it's all KDE now - I'm too lazy to tinker when I get in from fixing Linux servers all day!
[02:02] <funnyfingers> Can someone tell me how to manually do what insserv does?  I would like to create a startup script by slipping a script with LSB headers into /etc/init.d offline and have it start up.  I then want the script to delete itself and remove itself from "insserv".  I have an idea of what insserv does but want to make sure.
[02:02] <funnyfingers> Is it a symlink from the rc directories?
[02:03] <cipherboy> Xiol: meaning to give KDE a try. It any lighter than before? Used to run like a dog on my laptop.
[02:03] <sean__> As someone who has always used Gnome for personal stuff, but used KDE pretty frequently for various work things, why do people prefer KDE?
[02:03] <Xiol> cipherboy: Not really. It's still pretty much a beast, but my equipment is decent and I have 4GB+ of RAM in everything so it's not a problem for me.
[02:03] <cipherboy> Xiol: nice. 1.8GHz amd proc, 3GB ram.
[02:03] <Xiol> sean__: GNOME3 is crap, GNOME2 is unsupported. What choice do I have for a decent DE? (Don't like XFCE!)
[02:04] <xangua> !ot | sean__ Xiol
[02:04] <cipherboy> Xiol: oh, and integrated graphics
[02:04] <cipherboy> LABcrab: you still around?
[02:05] <sean__> Xiol: Ah, I see.  I guess it has just always worked fine for me.  Also sorry for the off-topic.  Didn't know it was so strictly enforced.
[02:09] <wizrad> Greetings, folx.
[02:09] <LABcrab> cipherboy: Yes.
[02:09] <cipherboy> LABcrab: how far did you get?
[02:10]  * cipherboy hopes the wizard has a spell to correct spelling.
[02:10] <LABcrab> cipherboy: Basically, right now, i selected Vista by default, but the boot manager still displays, which i don't want.  i'm surprised how fast Ubuntu boots on a P4, 6 times faster than Vista.
[02:10] <cipherboy> LABcrab: Okay, also in /etc/default/grub should be two timeout variables. Change it to either 1 or 0
[02:10] <cipherboy> (depends on how much time you want)
[02:11] <LABcrab> cipherboy: There's one hidden and one not hidden.
[02:11] <LABcrab> i like the one that says "GRUB loading" but shows a countdown.
[02:11] <eigar> Added ppa:motumedia/mplayer-daily , (fresh ubuntu 11.10 install) , now "apt-get install mplayer" gives this: http://pastebin.com/6cmUxxSC - what does java have to do with mplayer?
[02:11] <cipherboy> LABcrab: change both to 0 I believe.
[02:12] <cipherboy> And make sure _QUIET== true
[02:12] <LABcrab> cipherboy: Will Shift override this?
[02:12] <alp> Hi guys! I badly need your help, I wonder why I can't login on my Ubutuntu 11.04 GUI, and can login on via terminal. Any idea?
[02:12] <reisio> alp: what happens when you try
[02:13] <cipherboy> LABcrab: Yes, shift-up is generally what I use to select Ubuntu using this cfg. DOn't forget to run update-grub with sudo to make changes.
[02:13] <NativeForeigner> I used sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh to install read write support for dvds. While that now works apt-get is no longer working. I get an error that the daemon has crashed .What is going on?
[02:13] <cipherboy> LABcrab: that is, rapidly switching between shift-up brings up the menu on ubuntu.
[02:13] <cipherboy> NativeForeigner: does sudo dpkg --configure -a report anything?
[02:14] <NativeForeigner> cipherboy: I'll check when I log back on
[02:14] <NativeForeigner> on separate computer atm
[02:14] <cipherboy> kk
[02:14] <Argos20> hey all
[02:14] <NativeForeigner> I'm fairly competent, but this is just frankly strange. What results would be significant?
[02:15] <cipherboy> NativeForeigner: anything other than null
[02:15] <Argos20> ive got windows 7 64 bit..which is better to install 64bit or 32 bit ?
[02:15] <Staly_Nick> aaaaaa, no no no i dont want Arch, gentoo, freebsd even ubuntu aaaa!!! i want my loveXwindows baack : (
[02:15] <Staly_Nick> Windows

[02:16] <LABcrab> Forgot the update-grub.  Of course.
[02:16] <Argos20> is there any bugs in 64 bit
[02:16] <Staly_Nick> Argos20: 64 bit. No firewall, no adaware, no security, no trash, no risk.
[02:16] <Argos20> so 64 bit>
[02:16] <Argos20> ok
[02:16] <Staly_Nick> Argos20: turn off security.
[02:16] <cipherboy> Argos20: works. if you proc can handle it.
[02:16] <Staly_Nick> autoupdates
[02:17] <alp> reisio: when the password is correct it just turns black and then back to login screen
[02:17] <cipherboy> alp: what is the issue?
[02:17] <reisio> alp: grep EE /var/log/Xorg*log
[02:17] <NativeForeigner> cipherboy: thanks. I actually didn't do it though. Mom got on pc, asked me for password, but then instead of just checking email as she said installed that. I ought to really make another accoutn....
[02:17] <Staly_Nick> cipherboy: more problematic is RAM under 64bit.
[02:17] <Argos20> dang how fast is this server 700mb 4 minutes lol
[02:18] <cipherboy> Argos20: not the server, your internet.
[02:18] <alp> cipherboy: I can't login on my GUI but can login on terminal
[02:18] <cipherboy> alp: sorry, gotta drop (afk)
[02:18] <Argos20> so u wreckon ubuntu is da best
[02:19] <reisio> Argos20: it's fairly good at what it aspires to be good at
[02:19] <cipherboy> Argos20: frankly, no. but I reckon it is the best. :P
[02:19] <alp> reisio: I will try currently upgrading to 11.10, is that a good move? I thought upgrading might fix the issue.
[02:19] <reisio> alp: I suppose it could
[02:19] <cipherboy> alp: bad. stupid ui design
[02:19] <hamlin> Hope your system breaks when you upgrade :P
[02:20] <reisio> heh
[02:20] <alp> cipherboy: yeah, This already happened twice.
[02:20] <Argos20> can i install it side by side to windows 7
[02:20] <alp> reisio: If it doesn't fix the issue, do you know any other way to fix it or debug it?
[02:21] <john> this is ubuntu support channel?
[02:21] <reisio> alp: you could start with the command I gave
[02:21] <LABcrab> cipherboy: So far, so good!  Testing multiple boots.
[02:21] <reisio> john: yes
[02:21] <john> good good
[02:21] <reisio> Argos20: yes, if you have the disk space
[02:21] <Argos20> oh ho much does it take
[02:22] <reisio> oh only 8-15GB
[02:22] <LABcrab> !language > Argos20
[02:22] <reisio> Argos20: but Windows systems typically come with Windows taking up the entire hard disk
[02:22] <reisio> Argos20: so frequently one must resize the existing partitions to make the space
[02:22] <Argos20> and is their any issues with the new sapphire graphics cards
[02:22] <Argos20> hd 6970
[02:22] <reisio> you'll have to be more specific
[02:22] <john> so who can help with a driver issue?
[02:23] <alp> reisio: What should be expected on the commnad?
[02:23] <LABcrab> Argos20: Joke.
[02:23] <reisio> alp: output, or not output
[02:23] <LABcrab> cipherboy: Shift and Up?
[02:23] <alp> reisio: ok will try that.
[02:24] <alp> reisio: if got ouput? what happens?
[02:24] <reisio> read it, paste it, etc.
[02:25] <alp> reisio: ok ok
[02:25] <alp> reisio: can i stop my upgrade and do that command?
[02:25] <LABcrab> cipherboy: Not working!
[02:26] <LABcrab> Back.
[02:26] <cipherboy> LABcrab: yeah, rapidly alternate pressing shift and then up (so hit shift, then up, then shift, then up, etc, etc, until you get a menu as soon as your BIOS disappears)
[02:26] <reisio> alp: probably not a great idea
[02:26] <cipherboy> LABcrab: Unless you have a fast computer then you have to start during BIOS. :P
[02:27] <alp> reisio: ok, I will just wait until the upgrade is done.
[02:27] <reisio> :D
[02:28] <LABcrab> cipherboy: i only get Windows Vista.
[02:28] <cipherboy> Make delay 1 second.
[02:29] <LABcrab> cipherboy: i can't now.  But i'm guessing i can "show" the boot menu by booting from CD, then editing the file to 1 or 2?
[02:30] <cipherboy> LABcrab: yes.
[02:30] <Arthemedus> hey everyone
[02:30] <Arthemedus> is this also for generel help with ubuntu  oneiric?
[02:30] <Arthemedus> general*
[02:30] <escott> Arthemedus, yes
[02:30] <cipherboy> Arthemedus: yes.
[02:30] <Arthemedus> ok thanks
[02:30] <Arthemedus> noq i have a question
[02:31] <LABcrab> cipherboy: Something to think about for the next person who asks such questions: how can the menu be nearly-hidden, but still accessible?
[02:31] <Arthemedus> how can i get my ubuntu 11 in virtual box to detect my wireless adapter
[02:31] <Arthemedus> it detects my ethernet just fine nd internet works but it will not find my wireless interface
[02:31] <cipherboy> LABcrab: Meaning?
[02:32] <cipherboy> Arthemedus: what wifi adapter?
[02:32] <cipherboy> Arthemedus: pastebin lspci | grep -i 'net' if you don't know.
[02:32] <escott> Arthemedus, i dont think your wifi adapter is para-virtualized
[02:32] <LABcrab> cipherboy: It basically almost locks me out as it is.  :(
[02:32] <cipherboy> Arthemedus: sorry, misread, ignore me.
[02:32] <Arthemedus> afaik cipherboy
[02:33] <cipherboy> LABcrab: Yeah, sorry about that. Should have had you set 1 second timeouts, now I know for next time.
[02:33] <LABcrab> WOW Vista is slow.  54 seconds to boot on a P4/~3Ghz/1.5 GB RAM.
[02:33] <Arthemedus> my wireless adapter is intel wifi link 1000 BGN
[02:33] <LABcrab> Now for shutdown.
[02:33] <Arthemedus> and i dont see anything more specific in device manager cipherboy
[02:34] <escott> Arthemedus, what kind of device do you see inside virtualbox?
[02:34] <cipherboy> Arthemedus: Sorry, forgot that you were in vbox.
[02:34] <wizrad> Does anyone have any input about Ubuntu 11.04 and an easy way to get compiz-fusion to work without Unity.
[02:34] <benbloom> is it bad idea for / and swap to be on the same extended partition?
[02:34] <LABcrab> Nearly 40 seconds to shut down.
[02:34] <Arthemedus> escott:  in virtualbox it sees my eth0
[02:34] <Arthemedus> it actually doesnt detet eth0 as an interface
[02:34] <Arthemedus> but it uses it somehow
[02:34] <cipherboy> wizrad: try using gnome-classic (fail on 11.10)
[02:34] <john> speaking of driver problems, I don't think my graphics driver works well with linux
[02:35] <escott> Arthemedus, what kind of device does it say eth0 is?
[02:35] <Arthemedus> let me check
[02:35] <cipherboy> john: what graphics card?
[02:35] <Arthemedus> i can use ifconfig fight?
[02:35] <xangua> wizrad: there is "unity-2d"
[02:35] <escott> Arthemedus, i suspect its the para-virtual device. commodity hardware probably can't virtualize the network device
[02:35] <john> an Intel HD graphics card cipherboy.
[02:35] <cipherboy> john: you need drivers for that? what is your issue?
[02:36] <cipherboy> john: and what version?
[02:36] <Arthemedus> escott:  in vimware it says intel corp 82540EM gigabit ethernet controller
[02:36] <Arthemedus> escott:  how can i get it to virtualize my wireless adapter then?
[02:36] <Arthemedus> by changing the network adapter settings in virtual machine?
[02:36] <john> well, it does not work well with certain games. so it might be a driver issue, or just an issue with the crap-java pre-installed on ubuntu
[02:37] <escott> Arthemedus, im not sure you can. that would require that your wifi card be able to send and receive on two different ssids on potentially different channels at the same time
[02:37] <LABcrab> Time for me to log off for good tonight.  Thanks, cipherboy!  Talk to everyone later!
[02:37] <Arthemedus> wait
[02:37] <Arthemedus> escott:
[02:37] <cipherboy> john: 1) java doesn't make for good gaming. 2) you have a descent amount of RAM/CPU?
[02:38] <escott> Arthemedus, i suspect you have a software ethernet device that just forwards the network traffic to the host systems network stack
[02:38] <Arthemedus> im currently connected to my own wifi network at the moment, but i also have my ethernet cable, and doesnt windows 7 by default use your ethernet first?
[02:38] <john> cipherboy: yes, core i7 processor and 6gb of ram
[02:38] <Arthemedus> yeah im pretty sure its a software ethernet device
[02:38] <Arthemedus> ill try disconnecting from my wifi
[02:39] <cipherboy> john: nvmind. :P continue on running java games. my system would die with java games.
[02:39] <escott> Arthemedus, i'm not 100% certain how all this works, but i suspect it just cannot be done. the host manages the hardware that communicates with things outside the host
[02:40] <Arthemedus> so there is no way for the virtualbox to use my wifi, so i have to dual boot?
[02:40] <Arthemedus> im pretty sure it would work if i dualbooted
[02:40] <Arthemedus> but im just not up for that
[02:40] <Arthemedus> because i only wanted this temporarily, escott
[02:40] <escott> Arthemedus, otherwise the device has to be pretty sophisticated to allow two operating systems to send potentially conflicting commands that would have external effects
[02:40] <john> cipherboy: haha! i can show you what i mean. it is not a fps problem: http://i43.tinypic.com/rlmbyp.jpg
[02:41] <benbloom> is it bad idea for / and swap to be on the same extended partition?
[02:41] <escott> Arthemedus, see this http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch06.html
[02:41] <Arthemedus> escott:  so even while idle and dissconnected, the wireless adapter from my host machine will no way be able to be virtualized on the vm?
[02:41] <Arthemedus> and ill check it out
[02:41] <cipherboy> john: nice minecraft. looks like graphics issue, yes, you updated anything recently?
[02:41] <Arthemedus> and escott  im using oracle vm virtual box
[02:41] <escott> Arthemedus, i would guess that yes, what you want to do is impossible
[02:42] <giriyogee> Hi
[02:42] <Arthemedus> wait nvm that s the right thing
[02:42] <escott> Arthemedus, but thats a guess
[02:42] <giriyogee> hello room
[02:42] <giriyogee> i need a help from u guys
[02:42] <Arthemedus> so your telling me escott  this wont work while in a vm but itl work if i dualboot?
[02:42] <escott> benbloom, no thats fine
[02:42] <cipherboy> giriyogee: lolz what?
[02:42] <giriyogee> I had installed windows7 after ubuntu
[02:42] <escott> Arthemedus, that would be my assumption
[02:43] <cipherboy> giriyogee: big mistake, keep going.
[02:43] <Arthemedus> alright thanks escott
[02:43] <giriyogee> then i did boot repair in ubuntu, so i can see the booting options to both OS
[02:43] <john> cipherboy: thank you. and what do you mean update? I am running the latest version of ubuntu, but the manufacturer of my pc told me the driver was made for windows only..
[02:43] <cipherboy> giriyogee: keep going, not bad...? Mind typing whole thing and then hitting return?
[02:43] <Staly_Nick> i want my vista 6001 ultimate x64 baack : (
[02:43] <giriyogee> but now, i cannot see my Hard disk drives in Ubuntu.. only i can see is File System
[02:44] <giriyogee> however those drives are visible in Windows but not in ubuntu
[02:44] <cipherboy> john: I meant updates. you can update computer software parts. all anyone want to explain this?
[02:44] <N1Nja_> Ok ok this is sort of a ubuntu question
[02:44] <escott> giriyogee, where can you not see them, and what kind of drives are they, and where are they
[02:44] <cipherboy> giriyogee: so what filesystem did you use?
[02:44] <N1Nja_> Hello?
[02:45] <cipherboy> N1Nja_: yeah, listening type whole question then press return to send.
[02:45] <giriyogee> the filesystem for ubuntu ext4
[02:45] <N1Nja_> ... I know that but is there a Way to install grub on a mac
[02:45] <john> cipherboy: yes I know what updating is. I meant to say what would need updating?
[02:45] <giriyogee> those drives which i could see initially under my computer in ubuntu
[02:46] <giriyogee> but now they are no longer visible
[02:46] <wizrad> cipherboyPM?
[02:46] <cipherboy> john: nothing. Asking if you made any updates.
[02:46] <N1Nja_> I want to install mac, windows, and Ubuntu on my MacBook
[02:46] <cipherboy> wizrad: what?
[02:46] <escott> N1Nja_, you can try grub_efi but macs are true efi. if you want to boot ubuntu the recommended approach is to use bootcamp
[02:46] <escott> N1Nja_, aren't true efi
[02:47] <N1Nja_> Aren't they like efi/bios ish
[02:48] <giriyogee> so can anyone here help me??? i did a good search on google but was disappointed didn't get anything for this
[02:48] <john> cipherboy: no not recently. But I have not been using ubuntu long, and this problem has been going on ever since I installed ubuntu
[02:48] <escott> N1Nja_, they are "efi" but do a lot of things that are not in the efi specifications. so its doubtful that something like uefi could ever boot a mac. you are best off using their boot loader, and their supported methods of booting bios systems (aka bootcamp)
[02:48] <giriyogee> i cannot access my hard disk drives in ubuntu
[02:48] <Staly_Nick> im going back to my windows. Linux is too hard for me. I want only to use my pc, not compile, download, upgrade, compile, download upgrade, compile
[02:48] <N1Nja_> Okok
[02:48] <escott> giriyogee, do you know what those drive letters were and where they would be mounted in your system?
[02:48] <giriyogee> N1Nja
[02:49] <giriyogee> escott
[02:49] <giriyogee> yep
[02:49] <giriyogee> HDD1, HDD3 HDD4
[02:49] <giriyogee> these are the names for those drives
[02:49] <N1Nja_> giriyogee: Yes?
[02:49] <giriyogee> in windows they are C D E
[02:50] <escott> giriyogee, you mean sdd1, sdd3, sdd4. if they appear in windows they are almost certainly NOT ext3/4
[02:50] <giriyogee> suggest something pls :)
[02:50] <reisio> giriyogee: ntfs-3g
[02:50] <escott> !enter | giriyogee
[02:50] <N1Nja_> And mac is disk 0 , 1, 2
[02:50] <bsmith093> i have a metric crapload of text files with no blank line between paragraphs, several gb of them, 100s of 1000s of file, can i run something like gedit search and replace from the cli?
[02:50] <Staly_Nick> giriyogee: throw ubuntu wide from your pc. Install Windows or go to /MEDIA
[02:50] <giriyogee> hmmm those drives aren't ext3/4 those are NTFS
[02:51] <reisio> bsmith093: what is there between paragraphs?
[02:51] <Staly_Nick> giriyogee: go to root MEDIA
[02:51] <Staly_Nick> giriyogee: there U will find it
[02:51] <escott> bsmith093, you might be able to use sed. are there "enters" in the middle of each paragraph, or are the paragraphs 1 long line?
[02:51] <giriyogee> alright
[02:51] <giriyogee> just checking
[02:51] <bsmith093> nothing a new line , but no space between paragraphs. it just imporves readability, is all
[02:52] <reisio> bsmith093: oh one newline and you want two?
[02:52] <bsmith093> yes a blank line between.
[02:52] <Staly_Nick> giriyogee: just jokin'! ; )
[02:52] <escott> bsmith093, so to replace each newline with two its just sed -ie "s/\n/\n\n/" filename
[02:52] <giriyogee> lol
[02:52] <reisio> bsmith093: you can do that, yes
[02:52] <giriyogee> pls suggest guys
[02:52] <reisio> bsmith093: or * instead of filename, to get everything in a directory (be careful)
[02:53] <bsmith093> reisio: so the exact command would be?
[02:54] <reisio> bsmith093: what escott said, but you can substitute 'filename' with '*' to match every file in a directory
[02:54] <alien20501> is there a way to force the location of a gnome window when it opens ?
[02:54] <bsmith093> reisio: can i make that recursive, or read a list of filepaths?
[02:54] <reisio> alien20501: yup
[02:55] <reisio> bsmith093: with 'find', yes
[02:55] <escott> bsmith093, you can use find -exec to put this all together
[02:55] <reisio> be more careful :p
[02:55] <giriyogee> Hey guys was in windows, i switched onto to ubuntu now, so it can be easy
[02:55] <giriyogee> pls suggest me, the problem persists :(
[02:55] <bsmith093> oy vey, i hate anything with find, it always looks like sanskrit
[02:55] <reisio> giriyogee: which problem?
[02:55] <alien20501> reisio: care to elaborate ;) I'm looking for putting geometry and force x-y locs
[02:55] <bsmith093> ok though thanks
[02:55] <reisio> bsmith093: it makes sense once you decide to learn it :D
[02:56] <giriyogee> I cannot see Hard disk drives in Ubuntu reisio :(
[02:56] <escott> bsmith093, sed being line oriented makes the regexp hard to get correct. try tr instead
[02:56] <giriyogee> those are NTFS and visible in windows but not in Ubuntu
[02:56] <reisio> alien20501: there's wmctrl, and devilspie
[02:56] <joaojeronimo> what's the permission for ~/.ssh/authorized_keys supposed to be to allow "password-less logins" ? 0700 locks me out..
[02:56] <reisio> giriyogee: NTFS partitions?
[02:56] <reisio> giriyogee: sudo fdisk -l doesn't show them?
[02:56] <giriyogee> yep
[02:56] <giriyogee> this command shows them
[02:57] <giriyogee> but those aren't visible under My computer
[02:57] <escott> joaojeronimo, try 400
[02:57] <giriyogee> i can only see File System under My computer
[02:57] <escott> giriyogee, can you verify that ntfs-3g is installed by running sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g
[02:57] <alien20501> nice! I think wmctrl is what I'm looking for
[02:57] <alien20501> thx
[02:57] <reisio> wmctrl is pretty hot
[02:58] <reisio> and not as complicated as devilspie
[02:58] <joaojeronimo> escott: just says "Connection closed by..."
[02:58] <reisio> though it doesn't do _quite_ as much
[02:58] <giriyogee> ok escott m doing it right now :)
[02:58] <CarlFK> joaojeronimo: https://github.com/CarlFK/veyepar/blob/master/setup/pxe/shaz/var/www/lc/late.sh#L299
[02:58] <escott> joaojeronimo, throw some -v's in your ssh command and you can find out why
[02:59] <giriyogee> i got this message escot :
[02:59] <giriyogee> ntfs-3g is already the newest version.
[02:59] <giriyogee> so it's already there
[02:59] <kontagious> what command do i use to bring back the battery monitor in the taskbar in ubuntu 11.10
[02:59] <escott> !paste | giriyogee can you please paste us the output of "mount"
[02:59] <ljd> The old ubuntu login managers (I belive it was gdm) allowed me to change the keyboard layout during login.  This was great for me and my wife as we use different keyboard layouts.  lightDM doesn't support this (as far as I can tell.)  Is there a login manager I can install that will allow switching keyboard layouts during login?  Does xdm allow this?
[02:59] <escott> ljd, you can install gdm
[03:00] <grendal-prime> hey guys i have a machien with an onboard XGI Volari Z7 Graphics card..i cannot get this card working..even though i see it is supported.
[03:00] <grendal-prime> it runs in 600X800 is that all i can get from it
[03:00] <giriyogee> can u give me the command escott, m new to ubuntu so can't figure it out
[03:00] <joaojeronimo> escott: -v tells me it fails after "Failed to acquire GSS-API credentials for any mechanisms" I don't understand what does this mean.. I followed all the steps in some tutorial..
[03:01] <escott> giriyogee, the mount command is "mount"
[03:01] <ljd> escott, I'm using 11.10, and when I install gdm it did not have this option either.  It seems like the new gnome version of gdm is just like lightDM.  If there is a way to configure gdm to allow this, please tell me. Thaknns.
[03:01] <reisio> ljd: you can have that happen automatically when you login, based on user
[03:01] <uofm49426> hey not really ubuntu question but im sure computer guys can help me find a dependable mouse my left triger is going out i have to press pritty hard
[03:02] <escott> joaojeronimo, you need to look up that output a bit more. the server will list allowed mechanisims, and then the client tries them in turn and gets a rejections message. what ones did it try?
[03:02] <escott> ljd, did you remove lightdm?
[03:02] <uofm49426> happen to a mouse every 4 5 years
[03:02] <giriyogee> ok guys i've pasted the o/p of mount
[03:02] <uofm49426> to me
[03:02] <reisio> ljd: with ~/.xkbmap, IIRC
[03:03] <reisio> ljd: man setxkbmap
[03:03] <escott> giriyogee, send us the link that paste.ubuntu.com gives you
[03:03] <ljd> When I installed gdm, I set gdm as the default login manager, but did not remove lightDM.  I was definitely tried both.
[03:03] <_zane> Hi everyone... quick question. I want to pipe the output of a find command into grep as a list of files to be searched... I tried "find -name *log | grep -i searchterm" but obviously then grep will search the list of files found. So I tried "find -name *log | cat | grep", thinking that cat will read the files given to it by the find command... but that's not working either. What am I doing wrong?
[03:03] <giriyogee> http://paste.ubuntu.com/754410/
[03:03] <giriyogee> this is the link
[03:03] <giriyogee> escott
[03:03] <uofm49426> temperally how can i changer button options on my mouse in ubuntu
[03:04] <escott> ljd, i would be stunned if that was a feature removed from gdm. the gdm author was very adamant about lightdm being a stupid idea because of exactly the kinds of issues you are having
[03:04] <ljd> reisio, can I use setxkbmap before I login?
[03:04] <CarlFK> giriyogee: pastebin the output of: "sudo fdisk -l" - that will list all of your partitions and types, including the ones that are not mounted
[03:04] <joaojeronimo> escott: I'm sorry, after that it tried publickey and then it really failled and the connection got closed... the weird thing is "debug1: Offering agent key: joaojeronimo@joaojeronimo-laptop-2" BUT that is the computer I'm in now.. I was trying to login from a linode with another name.. why and how could this happen ?
[03:04] <_jason> _zane: you want to learn about -exec.  Or just don't use find at all and instead use a recursive glob
[03:04] <reisio> ljd: you don't need to if you use a ~/.xkbmap file, it's set when you login
[03:04] <giriyogee> ok CarlFK
[03:04] <reisio> ljd: I guess conceptually "before"
[03:04] <escott> giriyogee, what does "groups" say?
[03:04] <CarlFK> _zane: why not use find... -exec grep searchterm {} \;
[03:05] <giriyogee> http://paste.ubuntu.com/754411/
[03:05] <giriyogee> this is the link for fdisk command
[03:06] <_zane> CarkFK: Great, thanks. That works. Why is it that piping it to cat didn't work, though? I'm just curious
[03:06] <giriyogee> escott
[03:06] <escott> joaojeronimo, on each computer you have access to you should run ssh-keygen and make a private/public key pair that identifies you on that machine, and then copy the public key from that machine to the authorized_keys file on other machines that you would like to be able to login into without a password
[03:07] <giriyogee> yogesh@yogesh-MaxG31PR-HIS:~$ groups yogesh adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin admin sambashare
[03:07] <ljd> reisio, just to be clear, the issue is during login time, when the user types his/her password.  Our account keyboard layouts are configured correctly, its just the login thats the issue.  My wife can't type her password in, because I have dvorak layout set at the system level
[03:07] <giriyogee> and wen used sudo:
[03:07] <giriyogee> yogesh@yogesh-MaxG31PR-HIS:~$ sudo groups root
[03:07] <escott> CarlFK, we should be breaking people of the habit of using fdisk -l as it won't list gpt disks. /proc/partitions has the same information
[03:07] <CarlFK> _zane: it did work, it just did something other than what you wanted :)
[03:07] <jsass> hey all. I have a server that keeps freezing, but I am not sure why.
[03:07] <reisio> ljd: aaaaah, okay, hrmmm
[03:07] <jsass> checking /var/log/syslog, I can't see anything in there
[03:08] <jsass> The log just... stops
[03:08] <joaojeronimo> escott: that's what I did... I have keys for every computer (two) and those keys are in authorized_keys... weird...
[03:08] <jsass> I reboot, and everything seems fine
[03:08] <CarlFK> escott: but /proc/partitions doesn't have fs type
[03:08] <jsass> can anyone point me towards any place else I could look?
[03:08] <CarlFK> escott: I agree with the gpt issue though
[03:08] <giriyogee> escott and CarlFK pls suggest
[03:08] <jsass> for the record, the server freezes, does not accept ssh connections or return pings, and must be hard rebooted in order to come back up again
[03:09] <jsass> I am thinking this is a hardware problem, but am not sure what it could be
[03:09] <reisio> ljd: ok and did you say you can't use gdm?
[03:09] <jsass> possibly RAM I guess...
[03:09] <ljd> reisio, I assumed I could just go back to gdm (which worked great) but when I installed it and set it as the default DM, I also lacked the option to change keyboard layouts.  I'm wondering if it needs to be configured or maybe xdm would work?
[03:09] <_zane> CarkFK: Yeah I figured that... what exactly did I do?
[03:09] <escott> CarlFK, i agree /proc/partitions isn't the best solution, but its the only one i know that works for all
[03:09] <CarlFK> JasseT: start with memtest - let it run over night.  mainly because it is very easy.
[03:09] <jsass> CarlFK: I am guessing that was meant for me?
[03:10] <CarlFK> jsass: ah, yes.
[03:10] <jsass> makes sense about memtest. Free86+ I assume?
[03:10] <CarlFK> jsass: hold shift down when you boot, it is an option off the grub menu
[03:11] <jsass> ok gret
[03:11] <jsass> thanks
[03:11] <ljd> reisio:  so gdm worked great prior to ubuntu 11.10, but with 11.10, the option to change keyboard layout seems to have disapeared.
[03:11] <CarlFK> jsass: "server" kinda imples you have a lan.  there is a way to get kernel panic stuff sent to a network port.. just a sec...
[03:11] <jsass> CarlFK: any other suggestions? This would be the first time I have ever had RAM go bad on me.
[03:11] <giriyogee> o/p of groups: http://paste.ubuntu.com/754418/
[03:11] <giriyogee> esott
[03:11] <jsass> CarlFK: yeah, this is on a LAN
[03:12] <escott> joaojeronimo, its a little hard to understand exactly what you are doing without seeing command lines and log output. if you want to go through and anonymize your logs we could look at them
[03:12] <escott> giriyogee, the groups look good
[03:12] <giriyogee> and o/p of sudo groups http://paste.ubuntu.com/754421/
[03:12] <giriyogee> hmmm
[03:12] <ttonic> exit
[03:12] <CarlFK> jsass: run this on the server https://github.com/CarlFK/veyepar/blob/master/setup/pxe/shaz/var/www/lc/netcons.sh
[03:13] <giriyogee> hey pls suggest escott, carlfk
[03:13] <CarlFK> jsass: er, replace shaz with an IP/host name of another box on your lan
[03:13] <jsass> gotcha
[03:13] <CarlFK> jsass: and on that box, run: netcat -u -l -p 6666
[03:13] <jsass> ok awesome
[03:13] <escott> giriyogee, !paste us your fstab its the file in /etc/fstab
[03:13]  * jsass goes to work
[03:13] <joaojeronimo> thanks escott :) which logs do you want ?
[03:13] <jsass> stupid house computer >_<
[03:14] <giriyogee> ok escott
[03:15] <CarlFK> jsass: that printf "start..." will come up on the other box.  which verifies the pipe is hooked up right
[03:15] <Staly_Nick> how to login as root in ubuntu?
[03:15] <K3rmit> will this work for Lucid Lynx? 10.04.3 http://wiki.debian.org/ar9170usb
[03:15] <giriyogee> escott fstab is here : http://paste.ubuntu.com/754422/
[03:15] <escott> joaojeronimo, the actual ssh command together with the -vvv output from that command. the .ssh/authorized_keys file contents might be helpful as well. you probably want to remove references to your ip address and username from those before sending
[03:16] <beatbreaker> Staly_Nick, sudo su root
[03:16] <OerHeks> Staly_Nick, there is no root account, it is disabled. use sudo to get root priviledge
[03:16] <OerHeks> !root
[03:16] <joaojeronimo> ok escott, just a sec :)
[03:16] <BarelyLegal14> so uh...
[03:16] <OerHeks> no sudo su root beatbreaker...

[03:17] <milamber> !root | beatbreaker

[03:17] <beatbreaker> you used to be able to sudo passwd root
[03:17] <pp7> ubottu: LOL
[03:18] <beatbreaker> hahahaha
[03:18] <pp7> ubottu: watched too much Matrix i see :P
[03:18] <blake_> anyone know what i would have to go through to install backtrack tools on a separate session of ubuntu
[03:18] <kev-ls80> how would one set up a webcam to record video and sound? all i am getting is video and an odd "crackly" sound when i try to record a video with cheese
[03:18] <pp7> now i feel dumb LOL
[03:18] <OerHeks> !backtrack | blake_
[03:18] <Staly_Nick> hahaha beatbreaker and other ones
[03:18] <Staly_Nick> sudo -s
[03:18] <blake_> ok thankyou

[03:19] <Staly_Nick> and you are root
[03:19] <giriyogee> hey escott u there?
[03:19] <jsass> CarlFK: about this script, I am not seeing it resident in memory after running on the failing server
[03:19] <CarlFK> kev-ls80: start with a simple web cam player, like xawtv
[03:19] <duffyg> Can someone help me with a wireless adapter issue? Thanks.
[03:19] <beatbreaker> Staly_Nick, ah so no problem. well I'm glad I use #archlinux soon ubuntu will remove sudo access too
[03:19] <jsass> CarlFK: that is to say, no ps uax |grep net returns
[03:20] <BarelyLegal14> someone please help me with a MIRC question?
[03:20] <giriyogee> CarlFK pls suggest :)
[03:20] <escott> giriyogee, yes. im afraid i dont have an easy answer at this point. something must be wrong with nautilus or udisks
[03:20] <kev-ls80> where can i install xawtv?
[03:20] <BarelyLegal14> actually, I guess its more of a backtrack question
[03:20] <CarlFK> jsass: modprobe inserts a module into the kernel.  so you won't see a process.
[03:20] <grendal-prime> this blows
[03:20] <jsass> CarlFK: copy that
[03:20] <grendal-prime> xgi drivers just dont work
[03:20] <jsass> CarlFK, thx
[03:20] <escott> giriyogee, you could try udisks --mount /dev/sdd1 and see what is says
[03:20] <CarlFK> kev-ls80: sudo apt-get install xawtv
[03:21] <joaojeronimo> escott: this is all my terminal could capture: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/754429/
[03:21] <kev-ls80> thank you very much! ill see if that works
[03:21] <giriyogee> ok
[03:21] <jbmsegundo> help
[03:21] <Staly_Nick> beatbreaker: im glad to use my #windows ^_^
[03:22] <beatbreaker> Staly_Nick, ah I'm sorry about that
[03:22] <duffyg> Sorry to keep typing, but is anyone able to help me with a Netgear adapter issue?
[03:23] <Staly_Nick> beatbreaker: no problem, and now go and make your arch working. Maybe you will make it in next few days.
[03:24] <giriyogee> escott this is wat i got : http://paste.ubuntu.com/754432/
[03:24] <beatbreaker> Staly_Nick, if you stick to being a n00b using a system made for simpletons then that would definately be the case
[03:24] <escott> giriyogee, well then it is mounting
[03:25] <giriyogee> escott but m not able to open the specified folder :(
[03:25] <escott> giriyogee, you can access the files for sda1 in /media/EED4C.... did nautilus notice this?
[03:25] <CarlFK> beatbreaker: no feeing the wildlife.
[03:25] <giriyogee> nope not able to
[03:25] <beatbreaker> CarlFK, sorry you're right
[03:25] <escott> giriyogee, what are the permissions of that folder ls -l /media/EED4C and what is the output of mount | grep EED4C
[03:25] <BarelyLegal14> CAN ANYONE IN THISROOM HEAR ME
[03:25] <BarelyLegal14> ANYONE
[03:26] <BarelyLegal14> A N Y O N E
[03:26] <FloodBot1> BarelyLegal14: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[03:26] <Amdpc> !caps | BarelyLegal14
[03:26] <BarelyLegal14> im not shouting, thats just my online voice
[03:26] <BarelyLegal14> loud and obnoxious
[03:26] <duffyg> Can anyone help me? :)
[03:26] <Staly_Nick> beatbreaker: better to have fun with girfriend nor this arch gentoo and other distr to compile, dowload, upgrade, compile, download, upgrade and so on.
[03:27] <CarlFK> !backtrack | BarelyLegal14
[03:27] <fridgerator> in ubuntu 11.10, where are the samba shares mounted to after i view it in nautilus?
[03:27] <CarlFK> BarelyLegal14: sorry for the wad of bot stuff, but thats all we got
[03:28] <BarelyLegal14> #backtrack-linux
[03:28] <escott> giriyogee, wait. i noticed you used sudo udisks... that incorrect and the cause of this problem. udisks means "user disks" its for non-root use. do sudo udisks --unmount /dev/sda1, and then udisks --mount /dev/sda1 (the second time without the sudo)
[03:28] <BarelyLegal14> !backtrack-linux
[03:28] <BarelyLegal14> im new at this- what is the help command for mIRC commands?
[03:28] <giriyogee> ok escott
[03:29] <BarelyLegal14> and can someone tell me, if I am running backtrack (I know its not supported but wait) and everything is always run as root
[03:29] <BarelyLegal14> how to run MIRC asnon root
[03:29] <jsass> CarlFK: http://images.cheezburger.com/completestore/2010/3/30/129144426426831286.jpg
[03:29] <escott> giriyogee, in fact between the udisks --unmount and the udisks --mount can you run ls -l /media
[03:29] <CarlFK> jsass: heh - nice one.
[03:30] <Staly_Nick> is there mIRC on Linux?
[03:30] <CarlFK> BarelyLegal14: "running as root" isn't supported.  it is pretty actively discouraged
[03:30] <giriyogee> hey wow escott i can now see the partition but it is named as EED4CF82D4CF4B91
[03:30] <giriyogee> but i can rename it :)
[03:30] <Staly_Nick> BarelyLegal14: run terminal
[03:30] <BarelyLegal14> well I know, but backtrack runs everything as root
[03:30] <Staly_Nick> BarelyLegal14: sudo -s
[03:30] <BarelyLegal14> ok, running term
[03:31] <escott> giriyogee, so did nautilus recognize it?
[03:31] <BarelyLegal14> what did that end up doing?
[03:31] <CarlFK> Staly_Nick: BarelyLegal14 please take it to another chan
[03:31] <BarelyLegal14> can you at least tell me how tojoin another channel?
[03:31] <giriyogee> yep i can see it under My computer now :)
[03:31] <BarelyLegal14> im new to IRC
[03:31] <BarelyLegal14> semi new to linux as well

[03:32] <giriyogee> thnx for the help escott... i can now mount my other drives too
[03:32] <Staly_Nick> BarelyLegal14: ja?
[03:32] <giriyogee> it was of great help :)
[03:32] <kev-ls80> and it just gave me an error [init]
[03:33] <CarlFK> kev-ls80: xawtv was just to make sure the cam was working.  er.. so you didn;t see an image?\
[03:33] <kev-ls80> oh
[03:33] <kev-ls80> well yes
[03:33] <kev-ls80> my webcam works fine in windows
[03:33] <escott> giriyogee, hopefully this goes away permanently. otherwise you can use udisks to at least make nautilus realize the device is there
[03:33] <kev-ls80> works well in cheese but with crackly sound
[03:33] <kev-ls80> and doesn't really record, but shows an image with xawtv
[03:34] <giriyogee> escott yes, i hope the partitions would be recognized next time
[03:35] <giriyogee> i mean in next boot
[03:35] <kev-ls80> any ideas?
[03:35] <ljd> I tried gdm again, this time completly removing lightDM and it definitely does not have a keyboard layout option.  So I tried with xdm, and now I can login at all because ubuntu just hangs when it tries to start xdm :(
[03:36] <ljd> How do I boot into a virtual console (skip xdm?)
[03:36] <ljd> I'm using 11.10
[03:36] <escott> ljd, ctrl-alt-f1 you dont need to reboot
[03:37] <ljd> thanks escott
[03:37] <CarlFK> kev-ls80: I think vlc is a good next step. it is kinda overlweming though
[03:37] <icedtea> "there is a problem with the configuration server (/usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256)"
[03:37] <kev-ls80> what is vlc?
[03:38] <icedtea> anyone know how to fix that error message when I use XDCMP?
[03:38] <Monchoman45> Hi, I have two frozen tabs in chrome that I'd like to kill the processes for. How would I go about doing that?
[03:38] <CarlFK> kev-ls80: http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/vlc  "multimedia player and streamer"  not much of a description
[03:39] <Shirakawasuna> Monchoman45: chrome has a task manager under tools
[03:40] <Monchoman45> Ah, did not notice that. Thought I'd have to do it the long way
[03:40] <Monchoman45> Thanks
[03:40] <kev-ls80> what does it do?
[03:42] <Dext3r> Test
[03:42] <CarlFK> kev-ls80: I have it installed, and a web cam.. just a sec...
[03:42] <CarlFK> Dext3r: you pass.
[03:42] <kev-ls80> is there a driver im missing?
[03:42] <Dext3r> golly gee whiz
[03:42] <kev-ls80> waiting..
[03:42] <Dext3r> thanks =)
[03:44] <icedtea> whats the standard rdp server for ubuntu?
[03:45] <CarlFK> kev-ls80: seems to have the option to read from cam, encode and save to disk.. but nothing saved.. but let me try again

[03:48] <pixelmechanic> i cant get curl to install
[03:48] <ljd> Ok, I'm back to gdm.  I don't unsderstand why xdm wouldn't start.  Have any suggestions for alternative login manager that allows changing keyboard layout during login?  I see wdm in the repository.
[03:48] <pixelmechanic> with sudo apt-get install php5-curl
[03:48] <Staly_Nick> pixelmechanic: synaptic
[03:48] <pixelmechanic> im doin it via putty/ssh
[03:49] <jodie> Asking for your advice? Would you please advise on what is the  best non java open source portal. Please advise. Thanks in advance.
[03:49] <Staly_Nick> pixelmechanic: or get update than install
[03:49] <pixelmechanic> tried that, staly
[03:49] <ljd> Is there a way to change keyboard layout from the command-line before logging in?  (so I could just nix the login manager altogether and use startx instead)
[03:49] <escott> ljd, i just dont believe its not there. it has to be there. can you post a screenshot maybe?
[03:49] <elzee> Hi everyone!  Is this the right place to ask technical questions
[03:50] <tonyyarusso> elzee: yep
[03:50] <lighta> 2> file is error steam right ?

[04:07] <CarlFK> Al_nz1: "no" because it isn't your nic that needs configureing.  likely it's a router on your lan.
[04:08] <Al_nz1> so the router wont know the path for traffic from computer to NAS? so routing will fail?
[04:08] <santa2134123> hey

[04:29] <aeon-ltd> no really?
[04:29] <tensorpudding> ubuntu is not designed for "hacking"
[04:29] <Squiffy> no. I'm not kidding. I heard aircrack was on ubuntu
[04:29] <aeon-ltd> Squiffy: 99% of hacking isn't even illegal
[04:29] <CarlFK> tensorpudding: please don't feed the animals.
[04:29] <Squiffy> aeon-ltd, don't lie to me
[04:29] <CarlFK> Squiffy: please stop.
[04:29] <Squiffy> hacking ilegle :(
[04:29] <aeon-ltd> Squiffy: that's cracking 99% of that is illegal
[04:30] <tensorpudding> aircrack is not supported by ubuntu
[04:30] <Squiffy> tensorpudding, apt-get install aircrack-ng
[04:30] <Squiffy> problem solved
[04:30] <Squiffy> now
[04:30] <Squiffy> I reported this channel to the feds
[04:30] <Squiffy> so watch out

[04:30] <Squiffy> no joke
[04:30] <Squiffy> :p
[04:30] <pist0l-fish> there's a lot of trolls on #ubuntu, isn't there?
[04:30] <aeon-ltd> too bad we all operate on pirate waters
[04:30] <tensorpudding> aircrack-ng is in universe, which means it is supported through the community
[04:31] <Squiffy> somalia = ilegle too
[04:31] <CarlFK> Squiffy: I am guessing you were just banned, and are now ban evading.  either way, please stop.
[04:31] <tensorpudding> canonical does not support it

[04:36] <GatorAlli> Hello, I have a MacPro 1,1 with a GeForce 7300 GT running Ubuntu 11.04. I am using winehq/playonlinux to play Team Fortress 2. So far, the game has installed flawlessly and can play flawlessly except for one thing... It looks like all of the textures have turned black. (http://img7.imagebanana.com/img/epsafli2/TeamFortress2_006.png  http://img7.imagebanana.com/img/ziseotab/TeamFortress2_008.png) I assume that this was a graphics issu
[04:37] <niftylettuce> how would I get http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/grub-gfxpayload-lists to work with grub (not grub2)
[04:37] <grape_> Is there any programs that come with ubuntu that can "decomplie" a video into individual frames?
[04:37] <Jordan_U> niftylettuce: What is your end goal?
[04:38] <statim> anyone happen to know anything about vm.vfs_cache_pressure ? given a dedicated server that will continuously be running the same stuff, im trying to figure out if in that case i should have a high or low value
[04:38] <weiyang> Pumpkin-,  hi
[04:38] <escott> grape_, mencoder and ffmpeg can certainly do that for you
[04:40] <awsoonn> what package contains the bluetooth indicator and settings diaglog?
[04:41] <niftylettuce> Jordan_U: trying to get my graphics working
[04:42] <SQL_1nJ3cTzz> hi guys
[04:42] <Jordan_U> niftylettuce: What isn't working about your graphics currently?
[04:43] <yaboo> if I use apt-get instead in typing y to install can it be automated e.g. like yum -y install package
[04:43] <grape_> escott_ I am not yet familiar with running programs from the terminal, does that mean there is no GUI for these programs?
[04:43] <niftylettuce> Jordan_U: http://askubuntu.com/questions/62684/lenovo-l520-hd-3000-driver-problem it shows as a VGA not Intel HD 3000 and its awful slow it seems, I've followed this tutorial and added boot options as well, upgrading to kernel 3.2.0 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1867367
[04:45] <escott> grape_, try pitivi
[04:46] <Jordan_U> niftylettuce: OK, it looks from that link like you've found a solution, the i915.semaphores=1 kernel parameter. What problem are you still having and why are you asking about grub legacy? (Ubuntu has used grub2 by default for many releases now).
[04:46] <niftylettuce> Jordan_U: that solution didn't work though :/
[04:47] <christo_m> hey im trying to use the 11.04 desktop live cd on my friends laptop
[04:47] <christo_m> but after we select Default from the menu, the computer just reboots
[04:47] <grape_> escott_ k thanx, is that correct though, programs that can only be run from the terminal have no GUI? It just seems weird to me to run a program dealing with pictures with no GUI.
[04:47] <christo_m> it boots into windows media center just fine though, so the computer is okay
[04:47] <Jordan_U> niftylettuce: Why did you respond "yes, perfect. thanks" to the question "try removing "nomodeset" but instead use "i915.semaphores=1" - does this work?" ?
[04:48] <pnorman> grape_: I do most of my image processing with command line programs
[04:48] <christo_m> any ideas?
[04:48] <niftylettuce> Jordan_U: that wasn't me that posted
[04:49] <BernSamson> Anyone know how to enable clicking of links in flash chat objects in 11.10 ubuntu?
[04:50] <Jordan_U> niftylettuce: Please explain the exact symptoms that *you* are seeing, and what you have tried to fix it. Even if it's mostly the same as what another user posted I would appreciate you explaining what you have seen. You also still haven't explained why you're asking about grub legacy (grub 0.97).
[04:50] <K3rmit> if 'lsusb' recognizes my USB network card does that mean that it recognizes it and has the drivers?
[04:50] <christo_m> Hello?
[04:50] <escott> grape_, they have different purposes. if you want to extract all frames from a video the fastest way is through the command line, but if you have a particular frame you want you might want a gui to flip through frame by frame and save the one you want
[04:50] <christo_m> What kind of problems could I be having if both the USB and CD make the computer reboot again.
[04:51] <christo_m> ?
[04:51] <greg3000> friends who are familiar with "Unity", does anyone know why my Ubuntu Unity Launcher will not remember when I right click on a running app and select "Keep in Launcher"?  Also does anyone know why on my top horizontal task bar the theme looks good up until the right hand side where it shows me icons for networking, sound, mail, time, chat, user, and power. Pls use my nick when replying :)
[04:51] <phenrique> the 64 bits version from ubuntu 11.10 is only for amd? my processor is a core2duo
[04:51] <escott> phenrique, no it is for both, but amd created the 64bit standard so their name is on it
[04:52] <xangua> phenrique: amd64 is just a generic name for 64bit
[04:52] <mysticete> how can I change the keyboard shortcut for opening dash?
[04:52] <xangua> greg3000: you could try to reset unity configuration: unity --reset
[04:53] <niftylettuce> Jordan_U: it still doesn't recognize my gfx card Intel HD 3000, I've run `$ lspci -v` and it said it was a Lenovo Device 3975 intel 2nd gen or family integrated graphics controller, but when I go to System Info -> Graphics it says 'Graphics: Unknown'
[04:53] <niftylettuce> i tried xorg edgy or whatever ppa last night and it seemed to work but ive been warned not to use it
[04:54] <phenrique> amd64 works in a amd and intel? i thinked this was my problem for install the ubuntu... my video is black...
[04:54] <mysticete> it works if you have a 64 bit processor
[04:54] <xangua> niftylettuce: and why do you think is called 'edge' one day it can work, the other can't
[04:54] <xangua> the next*
[04:55] <phenrique> i am not getting install
[04:55] <escott> phenrique, try nomodeset
[04:55] <escott> !nomodeset | phenrique
[04:55] <Jordan_U> niftylettuce: Please start with what problem(s) you had when you first installed / tried to install Ubuntu. Before you did anything to try to fix it. You also still have not explained why you're asking about grub legacy.
[04:55] <mysticete> phenrique: what processor type do you have?
[04:55] <grape_> Is there sometimes problems when upgrading from 11.04 to 11.10 that wouldn't occur if you just reinstalled the normal way. Because ever since I upgraded I run into all kinds of weird bugs
[04:56] <niftylettuce> I asked about legacy grub because the tutorial informed me to use it based off my UEFI from lenovo (see link above), also I went to install the gfxlist package I previously mentioned and it asked me to upgrade grub since dependency is the grub2 package
[04:56] <phenrique> Core 2 Duo T6600
[04:56] <greg3000> xangua: thanks for the suggestion!
[04:56] <mysticete> anyone know how to remap the keyboard shortcuts for Unity?
[04:56] <BernSamson> Anyone know how to enable clicking of links in flash chat objects in 11.10 ubuntu?
[04:57] <Jordan_U> niftylettuce: Nothing in that link says anything about installing grub legacy, or about UEFI for that matter.
[04:57] <christo_m> Can someone at least tell me what boot options i can use
[04:57] <christo_m> to get a console immediately
[04:57] <christo_m> from cd
[04:57] <christo_m> instead of booting default, then i can format the drive and try properly
[04:57] <aeon-ltd> BernSamson: you can't if the flash application doesn't allow/support it
[04:58] <mysticete> why can't you just boot from a livecd?
[04:58] <christo_m> mysticete: i said above that when i try livecd or usb
[04:58] <christo_m> it reboots the computer
[04:58] <escott> christo_m, text or single should work
[04:58] <christo_m> So i dont want to use the Default startup
[04:59] <BernSamson> Aeon: when I was running win7 I could click links in flash chats by clicking on them....in ubuntu 11.10, after installing flash, I'm not able to and nothing I've found in google resolves it.
[04:59] <phenrique> mysticete, i am running a live cd, but in usb
[04:59] <mysticete> christo_m: that depends on your bios.
[04:59] <phenrique> in a pendrive
[04:59] <christo_m> mysticete: it gives me option to boot from cd or usb
[04:59] <christo_m> and both give me the Default, (and what appears to be, grub loader screen)
[04:59] <christo_m> But if i press escape or something it lets me put custom boot options
[04:59] <greg3000> xangua: seems I'm affected by a few known bugs when running this command, investigating if a fix exists and updating system
[05:00] <phenrique> escott
[05:00] <christo_m> escott: trying right now
[05:00] <mysticete> hrmm.  and the grub startup doesn't let you boot from the cd?
[05:00] <CarlFK> christo_m: try the alternate cd.  which you may need anyway to get anything installed if the live cd hangs
[05:00] <christo_m> i can try reburning it..
[05:00] <phenrique> but i dont have grub, i have only "installer boot menu" escott
[05:00] <christo_m> but ive also tried a usb stick
[05:01] <christo_m> with the same problem, not sure how that can be explained
[05:01] <christo_m> im at > /ubnkern initrd=/ubninit
[05:01] <christo_m> wondering what other options i can run ubnkern with
[05:01] <christo_m> to actually get a proper boot.
[05:01] <CarlFK> christo_m: and once it boots into the instasller, Alt-f2 will get you a term.  I think it has fdisk
[05:01] <christo_m> CarlFK: it doesnt make it to the installer
[05:01] <christo_m> :(
[05:01] <escott> phenrique, you could try the alternate installer, but there should be a nomodeset option in the installer somewhere
[05:01] <christo_m> Sorry im using Unetbootin
[05:01] <CarlFK> christo_m: the live cd or the alt-cd ?
[05:01] <christo_m> desktop
[05:01] <christo_m> 11.0p
[05:02] <Jordan_U> niftylettuce: You seem to have done a lot, and at the moment it seems like you've followed at least some bad advice. I'd like to start from the beginning, before you followed any guides. Do you have any problems running Ubuntu from a LiveCD/USB?
[05:02] <phenrique> with options: run ubuntu from this USB, Install Ubuntu on a Hard Disk, Test Memory, Boot from first hard disk, advanced options, help
[05:02] <CarlFK> christo_m: try the *alternate* cd.  which you may need anyway to get anything installed if the live cd hangs
[05:02] <christo_m> i dont know what *alternate* is
[05:02] <austeregrim> I need help with a simple question, anyone got a second?
[05:02] <christo_m> it is hanging at the cd, you're right
[05:03] <Jordan_U> !alternate | christo_m
[05:03] <escott> christo_m, its a text only install cd. it is a different iso to download from ubuntu.com
[05:03] <CarlFK> christo_m:  http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download
[05:04] <austeregrim> looking to remove the requirement of sudo for a user to access root functions
[05:04] <mysticete> anyone know why gconf-editor was removed from oneiric?
[05:04] <escott> mysticete, dconf-editor in dcont-tools
[05:04] <escott> austeregrim, root is there to protect you. dont do that
[05:04] <austeregrim> I know it is
[05:05] <austeregrim> but it's hindering me from working
[05:05] <CarlFK> austeregrim: we don't help people do that
[05:05] <escott> austeregrim, if you know enough to know why you shouldnt do it, then you should know enough to change it yourself
[05:05] <austeregrim> I've tried editing visudo and thats not working
[05:06] <CarlFK> austeregrim: just type sudo all the time.
[05:06] <yaboo> in red hat there is a /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions is there a similar file in ubuntu?
[05:06] <christo_m> escott: CarlFK thank you
[05:06] <austeregrim> I can't type sudo all the time
[05:06] <austeregrim> theres an application that needs access and doesn't request sudo when it's needed
[05:06] <austeregrim> nor do I want to wrap the application with sudo
[05:07] <CarlFK> austeregrim: what's the app?
[05:07] <austeregrim> virtualbox
[05:07] <escott> austeregrim, deal with it. or use sudo -i or make a script set its ownership to root:root and chmod to 755 and setuid lots of ways around this
[05:07] <niftylettuce> Jordan_U: here is my problem = Ubuntu 11.10 with i3-2330m, installed kernel 3.2.0 rc2 amd64 and I go to System Info and Graphics driver is listed as unknown
[05:07] <austeregrim> need to have virtual box to have access to raw /dev/sda1
[05:08] <austeregrim> I don't like using sudo because it throws everything in the root "profile"
[05:08] <CarlFK> austeregrim: I think you can set the rights on /dev/sda1 to allow the suer rwx..
[05:08]  * austeregrim facepalm
[05:09] <_Neytiri_> I have a system that booted to a prompt with (initramfs)  _   what do i do and how do i fix it
[05:09] <escott> _Neytiri_, have you fscked your filesystem?
[05:09] <_Neytiri_> not that i am aware og
[05:09] <_Neytiri_> of*
[05:10] <austeregrim> thanks CarlFK  I didn't think of that
[05:10] <escott> _Neytiri_, thats most easily done from a livecd, but it can also be done from the initramfs with a few additional commands
[05:10] <Jordan_U> niftylettuce: I can't help you unless I get to the root of the problems you're having, and to do that I need you to simply answer my questions for now. If you're not willing to do that then I will simply stop trying to help you. Do you have any problems running Ubuntu from a LiveCD/USB?
[05:10] <CarlFK> austeregrim: not sure how to make it survive reboots. udev rules is probably the place to fiddle
[05:10] <_Neytiri_> escott, i would perfer to avoid the cd if possible
[05:11] <austeregrim> CarlFK,  can I put it in the init script?
[05:11] <phantomfake> My extruder motor is having a tough time pushing filament..
[05:11] <CarlFK> phantomfake: I think you dialed the wrong #channel :)
[05:12] <phantomfake> oops
[05:12] <phantomfake> :)
[05:12] <CarlFK> phantomfake: try #pumpingstationone
[05:12] <escott> _Neytiri_, so first check "mount" to see if the root filesystem is mounted. it probably isn't. then check "cat /proc/cmdline" to identify the uuid of the root filesystem, then use blkid to identify the device that matches the root fs uuid, then "mount -o ro /dev/sdX# /mnt" replacing sdX# with the correct device, then chroot /mnt /bin/bash, if all that is successful you should be able to fsck /dev/sdX#
[05:12] <pnorman> phantomfake: is it running at the right temperature?
[05:13] <_Neytiri_> escott,  how do i know if the root fs is mounted?
[05:13] <escott> _Neytiri_, it would be listed as /dev/sdX# on /mnt (maybe /) type ext4 options...
[05:14] <escott> _Neytiri_, if everything says none on ... then no physical devices have been mounted
[05:14] <phantomfake> pnorman, yes
[05:15] <mikeyfbi> a
[05:16] <mikeyfbi> anyone familiar with btnx?  Trying to map my mx revolution, but when i try to detect the mouse buttons it just sits there idle
[05:17] <mikeyfbi> gives me "Warning: no valid pipes from pid: 2788" continually
[05:18] <gemunu> I'm unable to play wmv files on ubuntu 10.04.3. restricted extras installed. Why ?
[05:18] <_Neytiri_> escott,  none of the disks listed by blkid match the uuid gotten from cat /proc/cmdline
[05:19] <escott> _Neytiri_, that is why you are in the initrd
[05:20] <_Neytiri_> i figured as much
[05:20] <_Neytiri_> i am trying to fix it
[05:20] <escott> _Neytiri_, the device could be failing and therefore not appearing, or your grub.conf could have the wrong uuid
[05:20] <rkhshm1> Hi all
[05:20] <rkhshm1> after upgrade to 11.10
[05:20] <rkhshm1> i cannot run vmware

[05:20] <rkhshm1> the moment i start it, vmware says it needs to build components.. and fails..
[05:20] <tMH> could someone help me - how to install this 'login screen' seting?
[05:20] <tMH> setting even
[05:21] <escott> _Neytiri_, see if you can find your root fs, and then either fix the root argument to the kernel in the interactive grub, or fix it from within the initramfs
[05:21] <escott> _Neytiri_, goodluck. im signing off for the night
[05:21] <rkhshm1> fails with this error http://pastie.org/2942443
[05:21] <rkhshm1> this is fairly important ... pls help asap

[05:30] <niftylettuce> Jordan_U: Basically I had a bad partition table which I had to reformat to msdos and then manually create the partitions, Ubuntu 11.10 installed fine and now my problem is getting the graphics driver to work properly.
[05:31] <arunkumarv> when I boot ubuntu now it is just showing (initramfs) in a black sreen.. my system is dual boot with windows 7 and ubuntu 10.04.. what I will do
[05:31] <arunkumarv> ?
[05:31] <A_J> where did everyone go :|
[05:31] <sonu> is there anyone who can short out my problem
[05:32] <Jordan_U> niftylettuce: So you don't have any problems running an Ubuntu LiveCD/USB?
[05:33] <CarlFK> sonu: boot a live cd, sudo apt-get install recover ( I think..  just a sec...
[05:33] <niftylettuce> Jordan_U: nope, its like the graphics work fine, but my computer doesn't recognize the onboard graphics
[05:33] <abhinav_singh> yes its running somsip :)
[05:33] <niftylettuce> Jordan_U: e.g. i can change resolution etc. but it says my gfx driver is unknown
[05:34] <niftylettuce> Jordan_U: I've read of adding `set gfxpayload=$linux_gfx_mode` somehow to grub but I'm not sure what to do in that regard
[05:34] <CarlFK> sonu: boot a live cd, sudo apt-get install recover - yes: "recover Undelete files on ext2 partitions"
[05:34] <SQL_1nJ3cTzz> how is everyone doing tonight?
[05:35] <soreau> niftylettuce: Can you show the output of glxinfo|grep renderer ?
[05:35] <Jordan_U> niftylettuce: So other than this one tool saying that the graphics driver is unknown, you have no graphics problems (from the LiveCD/USB at least). Is that correct?
[05:35] <niftylettuce> Jordan_U: nope
[05:35] <niftylettuce> Jordan_U: I mean, yes thati s correct
[05:35] <CarlFK> sonu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery
[05:35] <sonu> @carflex i didnt get how ioot from a live cd
[05:36] <niftylettuce> Jordan_U: nope as in no graphics problems, yes as in that is correct
[05:36] <CarlFK> sonu: adding the @ to my nick makes it not my nick, so I may not see it.
[05:37] <sonu> carflex okk
[05:37] <sonu> carflex: so wat u do
[05:37] <Jordan_U> niftylettuce: Then I would not worry about it, and if it's not too much trouble I would re-install without any of the work-arounds you've tried to do to keep things simple.
[05:37] <niftylettuce> soreau: Jordan_U output of `$ glxinfo | grep renderer` is "OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(#O) Sandybridge Mobile
[05:38] <niftylettuce> soreau: Jordan_U Mesa DRI Intel (R)**
[05:38] <soreau> niftylettuce: What makes you think your drivers arent working properly?
[05:39] <niftylettuce> soreau: they aren't recognized in System Info
[05:39] <soreau> niftylettuce: I wouldnt worry about that
[05:39] <sonu> carflex: are u there?????????????
[05:39] <soreau> I believe that tool reports intel drivers as unknown
[05:39] <Jordan_U> niftylettuce: It would be good to file a bug report against System Info, but I don't think anything is actually wrong with your system.
[05:40] <Jordan_U> niftylettuce: And to be clear, before filing a new bug report (as always) check that one hasn't already been filed.
[05:40] <CarlFK> sonu: adding letters to the end of my nic also makes it not my nick ;)
[05:42] <CarlFK> sonu: dl the install cd image from http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download - I am looking for docs on recover
[05:43] <slobodan> d^`
[05:43] <niftylettuce> Jordan_U: soreau thank you both kindly :) appreciate your time
[05:43] <soreau> niftylettuce: No problem
[05:43] <Jordan_U> niftylettuce: You're welcome :)
[05:44] <slobodan> I've got a totally unrelated question
[05:44] <united15> HELLO BOYS
[05:44] <slobodan> Why are there so many people in #ubuntu or #debian if they aren't professional OSes/Linux variants like CentOS or Gentoo or FreeBSD
[05:44] <united15> I WANT SEX
[05:44] <slobodan> Is Debian/Ubuntu like Linux for the masses?
[05:44] <soreau> slobodan: Because they are popular?
[05:44] <OerHeks> slobodan, aren't they ?
[05:45] <soreau> Jordan_U: Can you take care of that?
[05:45] <soreau> thx
[05:45] <gast2root> im looking for mpeg4 screen recorder that can handle specific area recording
[05:45] <slobodan> or like Mandriva or even Fedora, they're better to learn than a .deb variant like Mint or Ubuntu
[05:46] <soreau> gast2root: compiz vidcap can record areas but you would have to convert the video format to mpeg4
[05:46] <gast2root> soreau:lemme test that package out tnx for hint
[05:46] <osmosis> in unity, how do I open a new instance of an already running application ?
[05:47] <soreau> gast2root: Its not a package, you would have to build it manually
[05:47] <soreau> gast2root: And it also relies on a library not in ubuntu repos, seom
[05:47] <soreau> there is a script to automate the process though
[05:47] <gast2root> soreau: ever tested xvidcap?
[05:48] <ruser> hey guys, i've got an issue,  update-grub wont' add my windows  to boot menu.  os-prober lists my win xip install
[05:48] <soreau> gast2root: I dont think so
[05:48] <gast2root> soreau: its the best out there but crashed on me recently
[05:48] <ruser> what can do to fix that?
[05:48] <Jordan_U> ruser: Why are you using grub legacy rather than grub2?
[05:48] <A_J_> can someone tell me how to update firefox
[05:48] <soreau> gast2root: One crash means you can never use it again?
[05:48] <ruser> Jordan_U: becasue i'm recovering from a disaster :/  and i'll update after
[05:49] <ruser> Jordan_U: wanna do a full windows image before i do that
[05:49] <gast2root> soreau: well after recording movie image is freezed for the hole filmù
[05:49] <Jordan_U> ruser: grub legacy didn't add other OSs automatically when running update-grub. You would need to add an entry manually. And usually upgrading to grub2 is trivial.
[05:50] <gast2root> xvidcap 32 depth bug
[05:50] <soreau> gast2root: Well if you use compiz and want to try vidcap plugin, I can help you with it in #compiz tomorrow
[05:50] <soreau> for now, Im going to sleep
[05:50] <gast2root> soreau: tnx alot mate
[05:50] <mysticete> can the super key be used like any other mod key for config?
[05:50] <ruser> Jordan_U: how would i add it if my win install is on /dev/sda6
[05:50] <ruser> Jordan_U: root (0,5) ?  chainloader?
[05:51] <Jordan_U> ruser: A Windows boot partition needs to be primary, not logical.
[05:51] <A_J_> Jordan_U can you assist me in updating firefox
[05:52] <ruser> Jordan_U: yesterday you already mentioned it to me,  and i said that it worked like that for last 5 years,  don't see why it can't be like that today
[05:52] <soreau> A_J_: go to firefox website and download it?
[05:52] <sir_tyrion> Hi, when I install the proprietary video AMD drivers for my radeon hd 6950, all windows are very choppy when they move around, much more so than if I have the drivers uninstalled
[05:52] <A_J_> it's in a tar file soreau
[05:52] <Jordan_U> ruser: What is the output of "sudo os-prober"?
[05:53] <ruser> Jordan_U: /dev/sda6:Windows NT/2000/XP:Windows:chain
[05:53] <soreau> sir_tyrion: The default radeon driver should work just fine and better than the proprietary fglrx driver in most cases
[05:53] <soreau> A_J_: get the dev
[05:53] <soreau> A_J_: deb*
[05:53] <sir_tyrion> soreau how can I tell what version I am running
[05:53] <soreau> sir_tyrion: version of what?
[05:54] <sir_tyrion> soreau how can I tell what my default radeon driver is
[05:54] <soreau> sir_tyrion: Theres different parts to it.. the kernel driver, the X driver and the mesa driver that provides 3D opengl
[05:55] <soreau> sir_tyrion: kernel version uname -r, x driver version in /var/log/Xorg.0.log and mesa version with glxinfo|grep version
[05:55] <servergod> just got my hands on 20 (yes 20) hp dl360G5's with 4 10k 36.4 in a R5 with 1 HS (5 drives) and 4gb each.  I'm inclined to create a jailshell for users to do as they wish. of course the router would handle ACL's and TOD (time of day) and ports (SMTP, RDP, VNC etc)  anyone ever make a public enviro?
[05:55] <sir_tyrion> soreau, what I want to do is change the brightness of the monitor through the driver, and also check the graphic card temps, i will try those commands
[05:55] <Jordan_U> ruser: Then "root (hd0,5)\n chainloader +1"
[05:56] <number8> does anybody know if its safe to disable the brltty startup script in 11.10?
[05:56] <soreau> sir_tyrion: You might want to try #radeon for more info.. they might be able to help with brightness and temp sensors
[05:56] <number8> it seems like it would be fine but i'm not trying to bork nothin
[05:58] <number8> anybody?
[05:58] <th3p4tri0t> is the version of x windows compiled with ubuntu >10.04 customized in anyway?
[05:58] <soreau> sir_tyrion: remember to be patient in #radeon, the devs dont always respond right away but usually answer questions if you stick around
[05:58] <ruser> Jordan_U: as i  suspected. ok :/ not working for me :/  filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x7 :/
[05:59] <mysticete> i'm trying to change the keyboard shortcut for Unity's show_launcher config option.  The default is <Super>
[05:59] <mysticete> can that key be used like alt or ctrl?
[05:59] <sir_tyrion> soreau, so I am running the ati_radeon Xorg module version 6.14.99, are you certain this is better than fglrx module?
[06:00] <_Neytiri_> I have a system that booted to a prompt with (initramfs)  how do i fix it, useing the livecd/usb
[06:00] <Jordan_U> ruser: It might need to be "rootnoverify". But if that doesn't work (and even if it does) this would be much easier to debug with grub2.
[06:01] <soreau> sir_tyrion: After amd bought ati, they hired devs to work full time on the open radeon driver for linux. Since then, newer cards are supported more quickly and the open source community is able to contribute since its open source. Also, the support is great
[06:01] <Jordan_U> _Neytiri_: You should also mention that you're using FakeRAID.
[06:01] <_Neytiri_> i am not useing fake raid
[06:01] <soreau> sir_tyrion: In some cases the proprietary driver might be faster but it often has bugs that no one can really address since its closed source
[06:01] <ruser>  Jordan_U okay, how do i upgrade to grub2?
[06:01] <_Neytiri_> i did it via my bios
[06:02] <Jordan_U> ruser: sudo apt-get install grub-pc
[06:02] <th3p4tri0t> anyone?
[06:03] <ruser> Jordan_U: it didn't go though process re-creating boot menus and such,  do i need to run something manually after?
[06:03] <_Neytiri_> Jordan_U, my bios gave me the option to use SATA-mode RAID-mode or AHCI-mode
[06:03] <Jordan_U> ruser: Make sure that you read the prompts that you get carefully. When you get to it, select an install device using space bar, continue using the Enter key.
[06:03] <_Neytiri_> i hve it set to raid and i used the utility to creat my arrays
[06:03] <ruser> Jordan_U: no menus showed up
[06:04] <Jordan_U> ruser: Then it's probably done. Do you have a liveCD/USB you can use in case something went wrong?
[06:04] <ruser> Jordan_U: running dpkg-reconfigure
[06:04] <nishant> i am trying to update package via terminal  and i am getting this error       failed to fetch http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/maverick-security/multiverse/binary-i386/Packages.gz  407  Proxy Authentication Required
[06:04] <ruser> Jordan_U:  i have a knoppix from 2008
[06:05] <th3p4tri0t> nishant: do you have a proxy set? lol
[06:06] <nishant> yes i have already done that
[06:06] <nishant> but it is still unresolved
[06:06] <Jordan_U> _Neytiri_: That's FakeRAID: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAID#Firmware.2Fdriver-based_RAID https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto
[06:06] <servergod> nishant, can I pm wget of same url? I can dl from usa.
[06:07] <Jordan_U> ruser: If your Ubuntu install uses ext4 and is 64 bit then the LiveCD you recover can be anything as long as it boots and supports ext4 and is 64 bit as well (for using chroot).
[06:08] <nishant> servergod i am not getting it
[06:08] <ruser> Jordan_U:  it still loads legacy grub
[06:08] <ruser> Jordan_U: do i have to remove legacy grub package?
[06:09] <Jordan_U> ruser: No. Did you run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" and select "sda" (*not* sda1) as an install device?
[06:09] <ruser> Jordan_U:  correct
[06:09] <nishant> servergod, plz help if possible
[06:09] <Jordan_U> ruser: Please run boot info script and pastebin the RESULTS.txt it produces.
[06:09] <Jordan_U> !bootinfo | ruser
[06:10] <servergod> nishant, pm, we will post resolution in chan after.

[06:11] <christo_m> yo
[06:11] <christo_m> CarlFK: it didnt work
[06:11] <ruser> Jordan_U:  i just booted into recovery and reinstall grub pc , entirely different set of prompts
[06:11] <christo_m> failed at 85 percent of the install packages
[06:11] <servergod> nishant, where are you geographically ?
[06:11] <christo_m> and then it told me to retry item, so i kept retrying
[06:11] <christo_m> then skipped it
[06:11] <christo_m> but wouldnt boot properly
[06:12] <CarlFK> christo_m: sounds like your cd drive is borked
[06:13] <nishant> servergod , i am in dehradun in india
[06:13] <ruser> Jordan_U: i chainloaded into grub2 and when i selected windows install the screen has just a blinking coursor
[06:13] <truepurple> I am having DNS problems, could this at all be the fault of ubuntu? Or would that only be either caused by my modem, or my ISP?
[06:13] <TACPILOT> hello
[06:14] <Jordan_U> ruser: Then your Windows partition isn't actually bootable.
[06:14] <TACPILOT> I am trying to compile some code and gcc is failing to find libc.so.6 yet it is there
[06:14] <ruser> Jordan_U:  you mean the boot flag is not set?
[06:14] <TACPILOT> any suggestions ?
[06:15] <TACPILOT> the test in the configure file is this 'gcc -print-file-name=libc.so.6'
[06:15] <Jordan_U> ruser: No. I mean the code in the first sector of the partition, or the code which that code loads, is not correct.
[06:15] <nishant> servergod, reply quickly plz
[06:15] <sonu>  can anyone help me in restoring my data which was shift deleted
[06:16] <sonu> is there anyone who can short out my problem

[06:17] <bsec> when we press crtl+alt+f1 to switch the ubuntu to the  command line interface , how to make chinese font work, what software need to be installed?
[06:17] <ranjan> hi all, is there a centralized authentication mechanism which can be used with Linux Mac and Windows Environment?
[06:17] <CarlFK> soreau: http://foremost.sourceforge.net/ http://www.digitalforensicssolutions.com/Scalpel/ http://www.forensicswiki.org/wiki/Tools:Data_Recovery
[06:18] <ruser> CarlFK: you mean sonu
[06:18] <Jordan_U> sonu: ^^
[06:18] <CarlFK> ruser: yes, thanks.
[06:18]  * CarlFK needs to sleep
[06:18] <soreau> CarlFK: Thanks! ;)
[06:18] <ruser> Jordan_U: i'm not sure how that is possible considering only partetion table was wiped
[06:18]  * soreau does too
[06:19] <servergod> nishant, cant help you with needing proxies from out of usa...sorry.
[06:19] <sonu> okkkkk frendzzzzzzzzzz
[06:20] <mysticete> what's the string for the space key to use in shortcut preferences?
[06:20] <Jordan_U> ruser: chainloading is a relatively simple process that loads the code from the first sector of a partition and runs it, whatever that may be. If chainloading the partition fails then the code in that partition's first sector is broken.
[06:21] <sonu> hey scambeell.............chudo
[06:21] <ruser> Jordan_U: fair enough.  okay, let's try to apprach this at diff angle.  do you see any significant differences between these two partition tables? http://pastebin.com/XLwPCegE

[06:22] <ruser> Jordan_U: sda2 used to be dell recovery partettion but has been removed since
[06:22] <ruser> Jordan_U: maybe i'm missing something with the markup :(
[06:23] <Zylek> Hello. The sound abruptly stopped working on my computer. I did nothing that I know of to cause it. How do I get sound back? (thanks!)
[06:23] <Logan_> !sound | Zylek
[06:23] <Jordan_U> ruser: Windows can use a separate partition for its bootloader files. sda2 could have been this partition, in addition to holding recovery tools.
[06:24] <gunztunz> can i use /etc/init/tty2.conf to simply start /bin/sh on the second terminal?
[06:24] <ruser> Jordan_U: that partition was removed about 2 years
[06:24] <ruser> Jordan_U: didn't cause issues back than either

[06:25] <aum__> hello everyone,is there any way to turn off power saving mode through command line...
[06:27] <CarlFK> aum__: here is how I do it  https://github.com/CarlFK/veyepar/blob/master/setup/pxe/shaz/var/www/lc/late.sh#L33 - let me know if you figure out better...
[06:28] <CarlFK> aum__: but not now - I am really going to bed now.. /me waves
[06:29] <Zylek> the help files that the ubu bot sent me to say to upgrade but i cannot do presently do that. i am on ubuntu 9.10. How do I get the sound to work on it?
[06:30] <mysticete> humbug.  i'm using gconf-editor and trying to change the keyboard shortcut for dash.  I would like for it to be changed from the super key to Super+Space.  <Super>Space and <Super><Space> do not work.
[06:32] <`Abhijit> mysticete: tried <Super>space ? .. note the 's' in small case.
[06:32] <aum__> CarlFK, i think you are accessing internet too much, i don't have net on the machine to which i need it...:)
[06:32] <ruser> Zylek: all of the sound is gone? or only in specific application? p erhaps the speakers are muted in alsa?
[06:32] <ruser> actualyl i have no idea what is used for sound these days
[06:33] <mysticete> `Abhijit: hrmm. that wouldn't indicate the 's' key?
[06:34] <s0nee> bsec: use 'setfont' with a font located in /usr/share/consolefonts/
[06:34] <`Abhijit> mysticete: i meant 's' in the lower-case in the word 'space' :) .. <Super>space
[06:35] <s0nee> bsec: idk if any of those support chinese
[06:35] <mysticete> `Abhijit: all other keys, such as Shift, Control, Alt, and Tab use upper case.
[06:35] <Zylek> sound is entirely gone. no output signal.
[06:35] <Zylek> volume is up. mute is off.
[06:35] <somsip> bsec: what terminal are you running and does it have unicode support?
[06:35] <`Abhijit> mysticete: have you tried what i said? :)
[06:37] <tryggvib> on a pure ubuntu machine, grub-update creates a cfg file trying to load from (hd0, msdos1) and of course does not work... it hasn't been working since I updated to linux 3.0-13 - anybody know what's going on?
[06:37] <aum__> is there any way to turn off power saving mode through command line...i have tried `xset -dpms` didn't  work.
[06:37] <mysticete> `Abhijit: i can try it...
[06:39] <bsec> they say, i need to install zhcon-0.2.5.tar.gz
[06:39] <shadowman> any idea to support switchable graphic in ubuntu for manage power saveing
[06:39] <x_> aum__, for your monitor?
[06:39] <Zylek> nooooooooooooooooooooo. it's my headphones. they aren't working. :-( this is horrible. it's an expensive set of wireless Sennheisers. omg this sucks. I just tested with another set of speakers and the sound is working.
[06:40] <aum__> x_ , yes.
[06:40] <shadowman> for dell n4110
[06:41] <mysticete> `Abhijit: thanks.  :)
[06:42] <mysticete> such a simple thing, but I could not find the answer anywhere.
[06:42] <`Abhijit> Welcome :D
[06:42] <mysticete> why is space the only non-capitalized key?
[06:42] <Zylek> okay i'm going to fiddle with the sennheisers. i hope to god i get them working again, they're a great set of headphones. i really do not like those crappy ipod earbud headphones. i just can't do the Fringe tv show justice with those things. :'(
[06:43] <mysticete> anyways, I appreciate it.
[06:43] <shadowman> hai mysticete
[06:43] <Zylek> ok well i'm out. b'bye. have a nice night/day.
[06:44] <mysticete> ditto
[06:44] <x_> aum__, sudo vbetool dpms off
[06:44] <shadowman> anyways idea about switching graphics
[06:45] <shadowman> because i love ubuntu
[06:45] <shadowman> so kindly help me
[06:45] <x_> aum__, or try sudo xset dpms force off
[06:46] <aum__> x_, thanks let me try that.
[06:47] <ResQue> i am having issues with my network connection on ubuntu, the connection works fine on windows, but seems to disconnect every few seconds on ubuntu. any ideas?
[06:48] <x_> ResQue, wifi?
[06:48] <ResQue> ResQue: yes, the issue just started today, its been working fine on this network for months before
[06:48] <aum__> x_, will that command permanently disables it or i have to put it into startup script.
[06:49] <x_> aum__, startup script i'd say
[06:49] <interiorcrocodil> does anyone know why after i update a library, some programs that use that library won't run until i reboot?
[06:49] <ResQue> x_: if i run ping, the network connects and i can ping google for about 2-3 seconds before it fails. then the network disconnect 5-10 seconds later
[06:49] <jpk> Question: Is it possible to include an external file in /etc/hosts?  If not, can I solve this another way?  I have a bunch of ec2 instances that communicate over amazon's backplane network (10.x.x.x), and I want to setup an /etc/hosts that aliases each one ("db1", "web1", "web2", etc), and I want to keep track of it in the git repo that I have all my other configuration files in. So can I do that with an include-like deal, or something else?
[06:49] <x_> ResQue, what kind of network, give me some details
[06:49] <aum__> x_ ok thanks
[06:50] <ResQue> x_: its the router in the hotel, around 5 repeaters (all netgear), one router at the front desk. it seems as though it disconnect from the closest repeater and connect to one further away
[06:51] <x_> ResQue, hrm. I wouldn't really know in that case I have never used a wifi repeater I really prefer wired ethernet networks my self. I can tell you this, I have never had good success in linux with wifi.
[06:52] <ResQue> x_: thanks anyway, i have never had any issues with this wireless card and networking. i am stuck on how to test this issue any further though
[06:52] <x_> ResQue, what card is it? and are you using the drivers under restricted drivers ( the manufacturer supplied ones?)
[06:53] <cf_> hello, i need some help getting sound to work; ubuntu 10.10, (i just upgraded from 10.04 where it didn't work either but the hdmi was not detected)
[06:53] <ResQue> x_: i am not sure which drivers i am using, i guess i should check that out. its the drivers that came with ubuntu
[06:53] <The_BROS> Is anybody here who is using Cairo docks and can give some usefull advise due to this stuff?
[06:54] <x_> cf_, no sound over hdmi is your issue?
[06:54] <cf_> x_, yes; i see the devices in aplay -l
[06:54] <the-m0bster> i have installed the open source drivers for my ati card. now i want to install the ati 11.11 driver(closed source). do i need to uninstall the previously installed open source drivers. if so, then how can i do that?
[06:55] <cf_> x_, but when i try to do the aplay test wav on each of them one by one.... no sound every comes out, and i have also un muted the devices in alsamixer
[06:55] <x_> cf_, what is it like an nvidia card w/ hdmi output
[06:56] <x_> ResQue, yea like system > hardware drivers or restricted drivers not sure what it is for you i'm on xfce
[06:56] <almoxarife> x_: its wonderfu
[06:56] <cf_> x_ yea
[06:56] <kierkkadon> How do I play some of my humble bundle games on ubuntu?
[06:56] <ResQue> x_: i found this link, i will give them all a read through today then come back when i have investigated this issue further: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide
[06:57] <x_> ResQue, ok. sounds good.
[06:57] <kierkkadon> For example, I downloaded Osmos as a .rpm file...when I open it, archive manager extracts it, then I don't know what to do with it. :(
[06:57] <ResQue> x_: thanks for the help, i dont think its a driver issue, i think its more lickly a setting or a flag i need to change, but if i start at the hardware level and work my way up i cant miss anything then
[06:57] <ResQue> x_: if you think of anything drop me a message i will be around most of today
[06:58] <kierkkadon> There's a text file that tries to be executable in Terminal, but does nothing, and a .bin64 file that doesn't appear to do anything...
[06:58] <x_> ResQue, every time I have used wifi on linux I get poor connection strength / disconnects like you said even without repeaters.
[06:59] <x_> cf_, so everything is unmuted and you are connecting the card to what device, and what are you using to test sound besides aplay. if you go to your speaker icon in task manager or however else you get to your settings make sure that you view the controls for every thing related to that hdmi (mine is an gf108 nvidia with just a master control.
[06:59] <cf_> x_, output of aplay -l and -L; http://pastebin.com/PZMptiUX
[07:00] <ResQue> x_: really thats odd, i have a macbook pro so drivers and support is normaly very widly avalible for linux, for all my hardware.
[07:00] <Jordan_U> kierkkadon: Is it available as a .deb file?
[07:00] <cf_> x_ i was trying to test with this method: aplay -D plughw:1,3 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav   also 1,7; 1,8; 1,9
[07:00] <kierkkadon> Yeah, I would have to redownload it though
[07:01] <kierkkadon> Jordan_U, I'm new to linux, I just downloaded the first of like 5 links
[07:01] <ResQue> x_: but even with my other hardware and netbooks i never have an issue with wireless i guess i have just been luckly. i know a lot of other people go mad with wireless drivers and linux
[07:01] <kierkkadon> each link was a different file type of the same thing :\
[07:02] <x_> cf_, in alsamixer do you have spdif options.
[07:02] <cf_> x_ all are set to 00, not MM
[07:02] <x_> cf_, hrmmm...
[07:02] <Jordan_U> kierkkadon: You want the one which is a ".deb" file. Preferably one that specifically says it's for Ubuntu.
[07:03] <x_> cf_, your analog out works?
[07:03] <kierkkadon> Jordan_U, Alright. How would I have used the .rpm file, out of curiousity?
[07:03] <osmosis> anyone remember that old video of the competitor to google calendar that automaticaly resized cells and had a "paper' mode that allowed for easy printing of your calendar to take in your pocket?
[07:03] <cf_> x_ the only output i have is the hdmi.... well i haven't tried testing the analog
[07:04] <osmosis> what was it called?
[07:04] <aum__> x_,  ` xset dpms force on ` worked thanks...
[07:04] <republic> I have lucid lynx. I am using a cellphone card as a modem(by using HSDPA modem), is there any software in ubuntu which I can use to make texting while using the card?
[07:04] <x_> aum__, no problem.
[07:04] <republic> the modem has its windows software to do that, but I want to do it in ubuntu
[07:04] <theadmin> republic: Do what, exactly?
[07:04] <x_> cf_, and have you muted everything if you have an intel integrated sound chip or something.
[07:04] <republic> theadmin, texting
[07:05] <republic> theadmin, sending text(sms)
[07:05] <theadmin> republic: I see, just a second, I saw a software for that
[07:05] <republic> theadmin, thanks
[07:05] <cf_> x_ i didn't actively mute the intel ones
[07:05] <theadmin> republic: Check Wammu (CLI) and Gammu (GUI)
[07:05] <x_> cf_, i'd try it and disable any iec958 checkboxes for it
[07:05] <republic> theadmin, very nice. thank you very much
[07:06] <cf_> x_ hmm kk; gonna pass out for now (2AM here) but i'll try it
[07:06] <cf_> thx.
[07:06] <Jordan_U> kierkkadon: RPM files are for distributions which use RPM (Red Hat Package Manager) rather than dpkg (Debian Package). In most Desktop distributions if you've downloaded the right kind of package file for your distro you can just double click it. How packages are installed on other distributions is offtopic for this channel though.
[07:06] <republic> theadmin, wow, I do not think that in ubuntu there is such software :D
[07:07] <theadmin> republic: You mean it's not in the repos?
[07:07] <republic> *there were*
[07:07] <theadmin> republic: Oh
[07:07] <republic> :D
[07:09] <Northwoods>   /msg NickServ identify Northwoods welcome
[07:09] <theadmin> Northwoods: That's a *very* complicated password you have... xD
[07:09] <Northwoods> lol
[07:09] <republic> Northwoods, i think you have typed additional spaces
[07:12] <Northwoods> yup
[07:12] <Northwoods> ok i was trying Alt + F2 on 11.04
[07:12] <Northwoods> It didn't work
[07:12] <Northwoods> Run Dialog box
[07:12] <theadmin> Northwoods: You should be able to type commands in the unity dash
[07:12]  * republic never use 11.04
[07:13]  * republic only use lucid lynx
[07:13] <theadmin> Northwoods: But you can try a separate app for this such as krunner, Katapult or Gnome-Do...
[07:13] <theadmin> republic: Good choice xD
[07:13] <republic> thanks :D
[07:13] <Northwoods> thanks
[07:13] <theadmin> republic: Also, Gammu/Wammu are also available for Windows, so you can use those in case your built-in modem's software is broken (like it was for me)
[07:14] <republic> theadmin, I do not use windows. but the software for the modem is provided for windows only. that is why I need the software replacement for ubuntu
[07:14] <theadmin> republic: Makes sense.
[07:14] <_Neytiri_> how do i get the old desktop theme in ubuntu 11.10
[07:15] <theadmin> _Neytiri_: In short -- you can't really do that.
[07:15] <theadmin> _Neytiri_: 11.10 is built upon gnome3, so a lot of old stuff was removed
[07:15] <Northwoods> what is KDE-Workspace-bin ?
[07:15] <republic> theadmin, in fact, I have to use usb_modeswitch each time I want to use the modem because it is only detected as a storage
[07:16] <theadmin> republic: Have you tried writing an udev rule to automate that?
[07:16] <pixelmechanic> i got phpmyadmin workin finally, but theres a lot of descrepencies... where is the ./scripts/ dir in ubuntu?
[07:16] <_Neytiri_> so i spent 4 days trying to get this system to boot with 11.10 after being fed incorrect information,  and now i am stuck with this
[07:16] <Northwoods> what is KDE-Workspace-bin ?
[07:19] <Northwoods> Even the super key combinations aren't working
[07:22] <Jordan_U> !notunity | _Neytiri_
[07:25] <hbars> Whether I can start nginx from under xinetd? If yes - it is possible an example.
[07:34] <aum__> x_, sorry to say but, my computer has gone to sleep :(
[07:36] <x_> aum__, :-(
[07:39] <x_> aum__, pastebin xset -q
[07:42] <somsip> pixelmechanic: you probably need the /scripts dir insie the phpMyAdmin install
[07:45] <aum__> x_, http://pastebin.com/y6PTrd06
[07:46] <PiToNcIyOo> olaa
[07:47] <x_> aum__, thats odd, and you tried sudo vbetool dpms off ? both work for me and make mine say dpms off.
[07:48] <PiToNcIyOo> olaa
[07:48] <PiToNcIyOo> hay aguien?¿
[07:48] <somsip> !es | PiToNcIyOo
[07:49] <PiToNcIyOo> ok
[07:50] <aum__> x_, id i do `dpms off` it goes immediately to sleep...
[07:51] <x_> aum__, yea, then hit ctrl+alt+f5 and then ctrl+alt+f7 to get back to your desktop

[07:55] <felix89> Hi! I am new to linux and I am starting out with c++. What is the best approach to keep files accessed from within the program relative to the filepath of the executeable, rather than the place where the executeable was called from?
[07:56] <hetii> hello :)
[07:56] <tensorpudding> !es | PiToNcIyOo
[07:57] <hetii> Why wget http://www.ubuntu.com/start-download?distro=server download for me the ubuntu-11.10-server-i386.iso instead amd64 ?
[07:57] <theadmin> felix89: Place them in the subfolders of where the executable is.
[07:57] <theadmin> hetii: That's normal, you'd have to specify the amd64 arch separately...
[07:58] <theadmin> hetii: http://www.ubuntu.com/start-download?distro=server&bits=64&release=latest
[07:58] <hetii> yes, yes my mistyping i talk about http://www.ubuntu.com/start-download?distro=server&bits=64&release=latest
[07:58] <hetii> there is the same issue
[07:59] <felix89> theadmin: Thanks. I have a folder called "resources" where all my images live. In CPP I access it with "resources/xy.png". It works fine if I double click the executeable, but if I open it from the terminal without being in the same directory, it searches a "resources" folder from whereever I currently am in the console
[07:59] <theadmin> felix89: That's correct, it would do so.
[08:00] <theadmin> felix89: Hm... I wonder what would be the best way... Probably "./resources/xy.png" would work? I'm not a fan of C++
[08:00] <felix89> theadmin: I tested the behaviour with latest blender build. I can call the "blender" executeable from anywhere in the system and everything  works fine incl subfolders where my addons are
[08:00] <felix89> ah ok
[08:00] <felix89> i will try that
[08:00] <godofmischief> got a question about how to reallocate space in my linux guest machine.  I expanded the virtal drive through the cmd line in windows. If i run geparted in my guest ubuntu install it even shows i have the unallocated space now but, won't allow me to resize the primary partition
[08:02] <felix89> theadmin: no luck..
[08:03] <_DeLa_> good morning
[08:03] <_DeLa_> english or german - which language?#
[08:03] <theadmin> _DeLa_: English here
[08:03] <_DeLa_> ok
[08:04] <_DeLa_> I*ll be quick to the point
[08:04] <almoxarife> godofmischief: rather than resize, can you create another partition?
[08:05] <alex-> How can I get the address of my router?
[08:06] <somsip> alex-: route ?
[08:06] <_DeLa_> I am linux mint 11 newbie who just made his desktop pc useless by toying around with the nvidia graphics driver. I am pretty sure it was the "sudo nvidia-xconfig" command I used that caused my system to have a totally black screen instead of my desktop enviroment every time I boot up
[08:06] <_DeLa_> and yes, the monitor is on ;-)
[08:06] <alex-> no, can't find / access the router
[08:06] <_DeLa_> I am thankful for every info, even for links I could read to help myself#
[08:06] <almoxarife> alex-: look at your network settings
[08:07] <felix89> _DeLa_ haste 2 bildschirme angeschlossen?
[08:07] <_DeLa_> felix: ne
[08:07] <_DeLa_> nur einer
[08:07] <alex-> almoxarife: it seems that 192.168.123.264 is the ip
[08:07] <godofmischief> almoxarife: yes i can create another partition from the unallocated space, the primary partition only has 325 MBs free, ive even had issues with not being able to update or install things due to low disk space.
[08:07] <alex-> but not sure because it can't access it
[08:08] <godofmischief> almoxarife: i really need to be able to resize that /dev/sda1 from 5.83 /dev/sda is 30 total
[08:09] <felix89> un wenn du die nvidia treiber deinstallierst, klappt wieder alles? ich hatte naemlich ein aehnliches problem, hat sich aber ganz einfach geloest in dem ich an den einstellungen in den default nvidia treiber settings rumgefummelt habe anstatt den sich ueberlappenden "screen einstellungen" vom desktop manager...
[08:09] <_DeLa_> felix89: the problem is, I only see a black screen, not even some kind of DOS prompt (terminal?)
[08:11] <felix89> hm, sorry i cannot help you :) bin selber neuling
[08:11] <almoxarife> alex-: your ip or the router?
[08:12] <alex-> I'm in it
[08:12] <republic> vom desktop manager, is it mean of desktop manager?
[08:12] <_DeLa_> anyone else? as far as I understand, I probably screwed up/ deleted my xorg.conf. how can I at least get to some terminal prompt?
[08:12] <alex-> Is there any way I can control my router over the internet?
[08:12] <republic> _DeLa_, you have console I suppose
[08:12] <almoxarife> _DeLa_: _cntrl alt f1?
[08:12] <republic> _DeLa_, you can use alt-f1
[08:12] <inz> alex, usually a bad idea
[08:13] <alex-> inz: why?
[08:13] <hetii> theadmin what about my issue ?
[08:13] <alex-> This router is for my sister in her house
[08:13] <alex-> And I want to be able to configure it when there are problems
[08:13] <theadmin> hetii: Not sure, sorry.
[08:13] <_DeLa_> which one now exactly? with or without cntrl?
[08:13] <inz> alex, because someone else might try to do the same =)
[08:13] <alex-> Hmm
[08:13] <alex-> Any other way?
[08:13] <theadmin> _DeLa_: Try ctrl-alt-f2
[08:13] <alex-> What is DHCP lease time?
[08:13] <inz> alex, but it may be possible, if her ISP does not block it and your router firmware allows it.
[08:14] <hetii> wget http://www.ubuntu.com/start-download?distro=server&bits=64&release=latest - HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 302 Moved Temporarily -> Location: http://mirror.bytemark.co.uk/ubuntu-releases//oneiric/ubuntu-11.10-server-i386.iso [following]
[08:14] <_DeLa_> theadmin: ok - to get the console, correct? and then I should find a way to restore the xorg.conf I suppose?
[08:14] <almoxarife> alex-: the time dhcp is leased?
[08:14] <theadmin> hetii: That's normal -- the link selects a mirror to use that's closest to you.
[08:14] <tetris4> hey all, am having some serious issues getting my touchpad on a sony vaio vgn cs11z to work properly, can someone share some light on this please?
[08:14] <alex-> leased?
[08:14] <theadmin> _DeLa_: Just delete xorg.conf to have it automatically recreated.
[08:14] <almoxarife> alex-: seems it can't be owned
[08:15] <hetii> sure but ignore the bits=64 args
[08:15] <_DeLa_> theadmin: thanks! I will try that
[08:15] <theadmin> hetii: Oh I see... Hm, sec, let me give you a direct link >.>
[08:15] <alex-> I can set the lease time almoxarife
[08:15] <alex-> 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 1 day, 2 days
[08:15] <alex-> What do you suggest?
[08:15] <theadmin> hetii: http://releases.ubuntu.com/11.10/ubuntu-11.10-server-amd64.iso
[08:15] <hetii> thx
[08:15] <almoxarife> alex-: I don't suggest
[08:16] <sharpK> http://i.imgur.com/G7sir.jpg
[08:17] <almoxarife> godofmischief: I was in a situation like yours before, why not create another vm partion, move some of the stuff that you don't need for the system to it?
[08:17] <akem> hehe nice one
[08:18] <godofmischief> almoxarife: to be honsest my user folder doesn't contain much i can move, its pretty bare actually majority of the space taken up on that partition are just apps, updates, and packages.
[08:19] <alex-> lol
[08:19] <godofmischief> almoxarife: if i can't enlarge that primary partition i might as well delete it and start over, really not much personal data on it.
[08:19] <alex-> @ sharpK
[08:20] <almoxarife> godofmischief: that works too
[08:21] <almoxarife> godofmischief: save your /etc and /home , less work coping over some of them conf's in the end
[08:21] <godofmischief> almoxarife: that's obviously not the goal, cause i wouldn't learn much from it, would suck really bad if i actually needed to keep that partition intact, trying to learn now while i can ruin it, so it doesn't kill me in the future
[08:21] <alp> hi guys need you help badly, I can't login to my GUI on ubuntu 11.04/11.10  but can access via terminal. Any idea why it's not working?
[08:21] <godofmischief> almoxarife: i may end up doing that thanks for the /etc /home advice tho
[08:22] <stimpie> alp, try : service lightdm restart
[08:22] <yashy> looking for assistance with audio. I'm on 11.10, and audio seems to work for a day or two, and then something changes where all audio sounds like "static". Any help debugging is appreciated.
[08:22] <jpk> Question: Is it possible to include an external file in /etc/hosts?  If not, can I solve this another way?  I have a bunch of ec2 instances that communicate over amazon's backplane network (10.x.x.x), and I want to setup an /etc/hosts that aliases each one ("db1", "web1", "web2", etc), and I want to keep track of it in the git repo that I have all my other configuration files in. So can I do that with an include-like deal, or something else?
[08:23] <alp> stimpie: wll do
[08:23] <almoxarife> godofmischief: fine, keep the vm partion, create a new vm install and add the old vm partion
[08:24] <somsip> jpk: maybe use dummy entries in your DNS table. I use some internal IPs in mine to a similar effect
[08:24] <simon_> Greetings
[08:25] <simon_> Can I ask questions about ubuntu here?
[08:25] <almoxarife> jpk: not sure about 'files' in hosts, but it can be done with dnsmasq
[08:26] <simon_> Hello?
[08:26] <almoxarife> simon_: ask
[08:26] <alp> stimpie: I got message like `restart: rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call"
[08:27] <stimpie> alp, try it with sudo in front
[08:28] <simon_> Ok I was wondering, Many of the programs in the software center are old, and sometimes there is newer versions of the programs in existence, How come the latest version is not listed in the software centre?
[08:28] <stimpie> simon_, its not yet included in the distribution (not packaged, tested, etc...)
[08:29] <simon_> So do they only get updated when my version of ubuntu is updated? or a new distro comes out?
[08:29] <alp> stimpie: when I try to login in GUI (with correct password), the screen turns to black and back into the login screen (maybe 2-4 seconds).
[08:29] <kamidi> hello. i'd be very grateful if someone could tell me why most mp3s in cloud are recognized as "unknown artist/unknown album" by Ubuntu One Music Streaming app (android)
[08:29] <ResQue> the network i am currently on is very unstable, is there a way to change the timeout value for not being connected to a network
[08:30] <stimpie> simon_, packages are normally only updated with a new release of ubuntu
[08:30] <stimpie> alp, that could be an issue with your video driver. Did you try  the recovery session?
[08:30] <simon_> Ok thats a pity, thanks anyway stinpie
[08:31] <alp> stimpie: how would I do that?
[08:31] <simon_> *stimpie
[08:31] <chalcedony> i'm getting a 'drive full' error. how can i look for duplicate files or something to delete fast?
[08:31] <chalcedony> or what do i need to do?

[08:32] <chalcedony> E514: write error (file system full?)
[08:32] <iceroot> chalcedony: quick fix "sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get clean"
[08:32] <_DeLa_2> hi ;-)
[08:32] <chalcedony> iceroot, what does that do?
[08:32] <_DeLa_2> theadmin: I have just executed the strg-alt-f2 to get the fullscreen console - but how do I get out of there? :)
[08:33] <stimpie> alp, you can select a session with the 'gear' icon next to your user name at the login screen
[08:33] <iceroot> chalcedony: removing cached packages and removing packages which are no longer needed
[08:33] <alp> stimpie: which one? Recovery Console?
[08:33] <jsimmons> Hey I've got an issue with sound, mysteriously stopped working (after an upgrade/restart). intel hd audio ubuntu 11.10. neither the pulse sound settings nor alsamixer show anything astray. nothing too obvious in syslog, restarting pulse does not help. ideas?
[08:33] <_DeLa_2> theadmin: how do I get back to my desktop environment?
[08:33] <chalcedony> i see
[08:33] <stimpie> alp, not sure how its called exactly, just try it
[08:34] <jsimmons> speakers are plugged in, and make noise :D
[08:34] <chalcedony> iceroot, i have a duplicate copy of my home directory in 'home' that i made a few weeks ago, i need to find and delete those duplicates - how?

[08:35] <chalcedony> duplicates?
[08:36] <stimpie> chalcedony, it searches for difference
[08:36] <iceroot> DeLorean731: yes

[08:37] <iceroot> _DeLa_2: DeLorean731 ah sorry wrong nick
[08:37] <merk5> Hi, does anybody know which VT is running at the start of the boot up to GDM? Does it go directly to TTY7 or is it any from TTY1 to 6?
[08:37] <_DeLa_2> iceroot: np
[08:39] <alp> stimpie: Still can't get it working.
[08:40] <merk5> Hi, does anybody know which VT is running at the start of the boot up to GDM? Does it go directly to TTY7 or is it any from TTY1 to 6?
[08:40] <alp> stimpie: I can login via Guest, but not with my account.
[08:40] <jpk> somsip: how do you mean "dummy entries in your dns table"?
[08:41] <jpk> almoxarife: Ah, I'll take a look at dnsmaq.
[08:42] <somsip> jpk: set CNAME entries like "db1 10.123.456.789"
[08:42] <Oins> Hi. Can't i luksFormat a filecontainer without losetup like: cryptsetup luksFormat ./myfile.img ?
[08:42] <alp> can I change the password of my account via guest login?
[08:43] <almoxarife> jpk: for what it seems to me you are trying to accomplish it would be a good choice, I use it to keep a list current of web addresses blocked, not the same but sort of is, that list is a file that I auto update monthly
[08:43] <jpk> somsip: Oh, so db1.mysite.com would resolve for everyone in the world, but it would only really be meaningful to my servers
[08:43] <FrozenFire> A few minutes ago, I installed gnome-shell from the ppa, to check it out. I now go to remove it, and the package manager is insisting that I must install unity if I remove gnome-shell.
[08:43] <FrozenFire> Any solutions for that?
[08:44] <somsip> jpk: generally, though it would resolve correctly for anyone on AWS network. But that's what security groups are for - block all access except your security groups.
[08:44] <jpk> somsip: for sure
[08:45] <almoxarife> FrozenFire: you want unity, consider it your last good desktop if all else fails
[08:45] <FrozenFire> almoxarife, No, I don't. ;) I'm using XFCE.
[08:45] <FrozenFire> Xubuntu, to be specific.
[08:46] <almoxarife> FrozenFire: you removed unity?
[08:46] <shashwatpns> i am not able to upgrade!- the "distribution Upgrade" window closes without an error message!
[08:47] <FrozenFire> almoxarife, Unity does not exist in Xubuntu. It's just XFCE.
[08:47] <jpk> almoxarife: Yeah, word.
[08:47] <gunztunz> hello
[08:47] <gunztunz> can someone kindly help me with upstart?
[08:47] <gharz> Guys, my wireless card is not supported out of the box when i install ubuntu and i need to connect thru cable in order to download the restricted driver for my broadcom 4312 (rev 01). Since i do not have an access to a router (currently connected to my neighbot), is it possible to fownlad the .deb package and manually install it after the installation so my wireless network would work?
[08:47] <almoxarife> FrozenFire: or the ppa thinks it should would of of, but that's why ppa's are not considered safe
[08:47] <stimpie> alp, take a look if there is a file .xsession-errors in your home dir
[08:48] <gunztunz> can i start /bin/bash on a tty without having to login?
[08:48] <gharz> Anyone?
[08:49] <FrozenFire> gunztunz, Not in any normal sense.
[08:49] <gunztunz> FrozenFire: you mean?
[08:49] <sagaci> gharz: should be able to
[08:50] <gunztunz> can i replace login to always succeed>
[08:50] <gunztunz> ?
[08:50] <cvam> how to find that in which partition  grub is intalled
[08:50] <FrozenFire> gunztunz, Single-user mode, iirc.
[08:50] <shashwatpns> i am not able to upgrade!- the "distribution Upgrade" window closes without an error message!  (I am using an alternate install cd)
[08:50] <gunztunz> FrozenFire: it's complicated
[08:50] <sagaci> gharz: search for the package you need on packages.ubuntu.com and then download the .deb
[08:50] <almoxarife> gharz: I'll assume you can get your hands on the .deb via dowload, I would install gdebi and have gdebi install the .deb
[08:50] <gunztunz> i really need to have the system come up normally
[08:50] <alp> stimpie: on the guest login? or on my account?
[08:50] <gunztunz> the stuff won't be there otherwise
[08:51] <stimpie> alp, on the account failing to login
[08:51] <gunztunz> i need to debug why pam is breaking the login though
[08:51] <gunztunz> but the filesystem is downloaded from the network by the boot
[08:51] <gunztunz> single user boot would not do that
[08:51] <alp> how do I view it? I think its hidden. how do i show it on terminal?
[08:52] <FrozenFire> So, any suggestions on how I might remove a package without installing its weird remove-dependencies? As mentioned, removing gnome-shell forces the installation of unity, even on a system that's never had unity installed.
[08:52] <merk5> Hi, does anybody know which VT is running at the start of the boot up to GDM? Does it go directly to TTY7 or is it any from TTY1 to 6?
[08:52] <stimpie> alp,  'ls -la' shows all files
[08:53] <cvam> how to find that in which partition  grub is intalled
[08:53] <gharz> Sagaci and almoxarife, my only problem is i dont what deb packages to download for bcom 4312 :(
[08:54] <alp> I have the .xsession-erros and .xsession-erros.o
[08:54] <alp> stimpie: I have the .xsession-erros and .xsession-erros.o
[08:54] <sagaci> gharz: get a few of the relevant broadcom packages and try til you get the right one :P
[08:54] <alp> stimpie: .xsession-errors.o*
[08:54] <stimpie> check whats in the .xsession-errors
[08:55] <pentarex> hey guys
[08:55] <pentarex> when I type the command netstat -nap I am getting output tcp        0      0 ::ffff:127.0.0.1:11111      :::*                   LISTEN      19717/java , what this f´s stands for and I think this is causing my problem when i write into the socket nothing returns... can someone explain what this ffff means
[08:56] <alp> stimpie: I have the .xsession-errors
[08:57] <almoxarife> gharz: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
[08:57] <stimpie> alp, whats in it?
[08:57] <gharz> Almoarife, thanks. I will check that out.
[08:57] <sagaci> gharz: try the b43-fwcutter pacakges
[08:57] <sagaci> package*
[08:57] <alp> stimpie: how can I view it?
[08:58] <fabiobik_> hi guys, can someone tell me why linux creates 2 partitions?
[08:58] <gharz> Sagaci, thanks.
[08:58] <FrozenFire> fabiobik_, Minimum of one for system, one for swap.
[08:58] <stimpie> alp, 'cat .xsession-errors'
[08:58] <FrozenFire> Without swap space, if you produce more data than you have RAM (which you probably will), the system has nothing to do but hope something frees.
[08:59] <FrozenFire> Usually by crashing, if I recall correctly. :P
[08:59] <fabiobik_> FrozenFire: so whats the name of the partitions? root and swap?
[08:59] <FrozenFire> fabiobik_, / and swap
[08:59] <fabiobik_> FrozenFire: so on / is were all the system and userdata goes right?
[09:00] <gharz> Sagci, if want to download the .deb packages, where does synaptic normally save it or if i run apt-get and just download it?
[09:00] <FrozenFire> fabiobik_, If you do not additionally have a partition for /home, /etc, and so on, then yes.
[09:00] <alp> stimpie: export: 24: PATH+: bad variable name
[09:00] <fabiobik_> FrozenFire: and the swap is for helping ram?
[09:00] <stimpie> alp, thats strange
[09:00] <sagaci> gharz: just download the packages then run sudo dpkg -i package.deb
[09:01] <FrozenFire> fabiobik_, Essentially, yes. It's virtual RAM, which the system can spill data over into.
[09:01] <alp> stimpie: what should be the output for this typically?
[09:01] <stimpie> alp, the file should not exist
[09:01] <sagaci> gharz: replacing package.deb with actual package name... otherwise just open up the package in your file manager and gdebi will do the install
[09:01] <alp> you mean the .xsession-errors should not exists?
[09:02] <stimpie> alp, yes its only created if something goes wrong starting your graphical session
[09:02] <alp> I see, so maybe the problem is in my graphics?
[09:03] <alp> stimpie: I see, so maybe the problem is in my graphics?
[09:03] <alp> on*
[09:03] <fabiobik_> FrozenFire: Thanks

[09:03] <skypent> Hey there.  is there a way to move this toolbar on the left hand side, to the bottom of my screen on 11.10?
[09:03] <anAngel> Hello. Which system logs should I check for eventual causes of system freezes/reboots on ubuntu 11.10 server i386?
[09:03] <FrozenFire> skypent, http://askubuntu.com/questions/33605/can-i-move-the-unity-launcher
[09:03] <FrozenFire> Officially, no. Unofficially, yes.
[09:04] <stimpie> alp, its sounds like an error in the configuration for your user. Did you modify something? install a theme?
[09:04] <skypent> FrozenFire : Thanks *wink* promiscuous wink**
[09:04] <merk5> skypent: You mean the Unity launcher? There is an article on webupd8.org that tells you how to move it to bottom. It has a PPA for easy install.
[09:04] <c_> hi
[09:04] <alp> I did something in the `.profile` last night
[09:05] <alp> stimpie: didn't install any theme, just added something in .profile
[09:05] <stimpie> alp, you could try to remove configuration from your account: 'rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity' (THIS WILL REMOVE STUFF!)
[09:05] <stimpie> alp, ah
[09:05] <alp> stimpie: after this, what should I do? what will the code do?
[09:05] <stimpie> alp you probably made a typo in .profile
[09:06] <almoxarife> gharz: what version ubuntu you got?
[09:06] <alp> stimpie: How can I change/undo my .profile update?
[09:06] <stimpie> alp, you have to do that manually
[09:07] <alp> stimpie: how can I edit the .profile
[09:07] <alp> ?
[09:07] <stimpie> alp, just use your favorite editoer
[09:08] <lag> What's wrong with my clock settings - I can no longer view seconds
[09:09] <fabiobik_> how are identifyed the hd with linux?
[09:09] <fabiobik_> i mean how to identify its installed linux on the hard disk
[09:09] <theadmin> Sorry, had to reboot and forgot to sign back in -- anyone still needing my help?
[09:10] <stimpie> alp, if you copy the contents of .profile to pastebin we can take a look for the error
[09:10] <lag> theadmin: Want to help me?
[09:10] <theadmin> lag: Well, what I meant is -- is there anyone around who I was helping that still has unsolved problems? As for you, I'd be more than happy to if I can.
[09:10] <gharz> Almoxarife, i have downloaded 11.10. I never had any problem before coz i can connect my computer to the internet using cable but now i am just sharing with my neighbot.
[09:11] <alp> stimpie: let me type it on pastebin
[09:11] <lag> theadmin: I can no longer view seconds on my clock - nothing happens with I tick the box
[09:12] <lag> theadmin: I've looked for reported bugs, but none of the solutions solve my issue
[09:12] <theadmin> lag: That's interesting, what clock do you use? Have you tried other ones? They might be of help
[09:12] <almoxarife> gharz: look at the link I sent you, bottom of the page has the instructions for 11.10, follow those instructions while connected via cable, and your issues should be resolved
[09:13] <flash84> salve
[09:13] <gharz> I can not connect thru cable coz the router is now in my hse. :( almoxarife
[09:14] <lag> theadmin: There are more than one clock? I just use the default
[09:14] <theadmin> lag: There's an entire bunch around... Search the repos for "clock applet" and you'll find a ton
[09:14] <almoxarife> gharz: can't you connect cable at friends?
[09:15] <lag> theadmin: I can't help but think this is a fundamental error - a missing lib or some such
[09:15] <theadmin> lag: Probably nothing as big
[09:15] <niftylettuce> I'm trying to get my touchpad to accurately use the utouch gestures, though I'm not sure I'm doing the gestures properly
[09:15] <niftylettuce> can anyone tell me how each gesture is supposed to be done? or a video?
[09:15] <gharz> Almoxarife, maybe in 3 days time
[09:16] <alp> stimpie: http://pastebin.com/7zJGdLF1 here's the .profile
[09:17] <stimpie> alp, the last line is wrong
[09:17] <stimpie> export PATH+=:/usr/lib/lithium/console
[09:17] <niftylettuce> my synaptic touchpad is at /dev/input/event5 and I can do 3 finger window move or whatever, but its really glitchy and when I do `$ sudo mtdev-test /dev/input/5` it gives me error `error could not open device`
[09:17] <almoxarife> gharz: got it
[09:17] <niftylettuce> can anyone assist me in fixing my touchpad?
[09:18] <alp> stimpie: what should be the correct?
[09:18] <lag> theadmin: Also, when I restart my computer my panel resets to the default
[09:18] <theadmin> lag: That sounds weird...
[09:18] <lag> theadmin: I can't help but thing the two are related
[09:18] <lag> think*
[09:19] <theadmin> lag: The only thing I can think of is being unable to write their settings...
[09:19] <theadmin> lag: Meaning -- are you trying to run a desktop as root? Do you have write access to your home directory?
[09:19] <stimpie> alp: export PATH=$PATH:/usr/lib/lithium/console
[09:20] <tamulionis> hey, when I install nvidia drivers and restart pc, I get black screen. Anyone know how to fix that?
[09:20] <anAngel> Hello. Which system logs should I check for eventual causes of system freezes/reboots on ubuntu 11.10 server i386?
[09:20] <lag> theadmin: Nope and yep
[09:20] <shashwatpns> i am not able to upgrade!- the "distribution Upgrade" window closes without an error message!  (I am using an alternate install cd)

[09:22] <ktokopnik> Need help deciphering results from  "sudo lshw -C network"  -  new system, trying to use PCMCIA wireless card.
[09:23] <ktokopnik> (have copypasta of results, do not wish to flood chan)
[09:23] <auronandace> !paste | ktokopnik
[09:25] <ktokopnik> http://paste.ubuntu.com/754621/
[09:25] <niftylettuce> Can anyone lend a hand with touchpad gestures?
[09:25] <alp> stimpie: you know what? you are a GOD! it solved it. a BIG THANKS!
[09:26] <Northwoods> Is there a software to create a flash from images ?
[09:27] <alp> stimpie: one more thing, if I shutdown it it lags and it won't shutdown my computer, it only hangs in some code...
[09:28] <auronandace> ktokopnik: is the wireless card the broadcom?
[09:28] <tamulionis> when I install nvidia drivers and restart pc, I get black screen. Anyone know how to fix that?
[09:28] <ktokopnik> auronandace: no, broadcom is onboard, but is slower.  theoretically the netgear ma401 is faster.
[09:30] <theadmin> niftylettuce: I might be able to, what is it?
[09:30] <alp> Do I need to increase my swap if I add RAM?
[09:30] <llutz> alp: only if you use hibernation
[09:31] <auronandace> ktokopnik: what is the output of ifconfig?
[09:31] <stimpie> alp, happy to hear it is solved.
[09:32] <alp> llutz: what you mean? I plan on adding 4Gb, and I only have 4Gb atm, do I need to increase the swap?
[09:32] <llutz> alp: no, only if you use hibernation
[09:32] <ktokopnik> auronandace: http://paste.ubuntu.com/754630/
[09:32] <alp> stimpie: yes, and thanks to you my man! you really helped me.
[09:33] <alp> llutz: so if I hibernate, I use the swap right?
[09:33] <llutz> alp: yes, suspend-to-disk uses the swap
[09:33] <auronandace> ktokopnik: hmm, it isn't picking up wlan0 or eth1 (your wireless interfaces in your other paste)
[09:34] <niftylettuce> theadmin: my touchpad seems to be rather glitchy, I'm not sure if this is the bug http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2011/10/31/fix-for-touchpad-trouble-in-ubuntu-11-10/ -- but I tried 3 finger pinch and 4 finger tap to get the equivalent of Home+E
[09:34] <Squarism> Regarding ssh tunnels. From a local machine-a i run ssh -R 1942:localhost:1942 machine-b ... stupid thing is that machine-b only opens 127.0.0.1:1942.... can i instruct ssh to open the port on  machine-b's external interface?
[09:34] <theadmin> niftylettuce: "Home+E" does what?
[09:35] <niftylettuce> theadmin: I mean super+e does the equivalent of what four finger tap should, but four finger tap doesnt work
[09:35] <niftylettuce> theadmin: and my 3 finger pinch/move isn't working right either, its very glitchy
[09:35] <theadmin> niftylettuce: What DOES super+e do? I mean, does it run any app? Do something weird? etc?
[09:35] <ktokopnik> auronandace: I'm connected to 'net via direct Ethernet connection.  Unsure if this is creating this result.  Am able to disable ethernet and get Broadcom to work.   PCMCIA used to work under 9.04 live!Ubuntu, but has not worked since upgrade to new HDD w/10.04
[09:36] <niftylettuce> niftylettuce: oh it slides in the little panel on the left of unity as it normally would
[09:36] <alp> llutz: I see, so when I use hibernate and there are many programs running I got running out of memory error. Is that lack of RAM or swap? or both?
[09:36] <gianni> salve
[09:37] <auronandace> ktokopnik: i must admit i'm not very good with wireless (my intel works without any intervention)
[09:37] <llutz> alp: you want to read about what hibernation is. it has nothing to do with a running system, its a "sleep-state" like shutting a pc off.
[09:37] <theadmin> niftylettuce: I see, hm... I dunno how to do that.
[09:37] <niftylettuce> theadmin: ultimately I'd like to downgrade to gnome2
[09:37] <llutz> alp: out of memory is always a lack of RAM
[09:37] <niftylettuce> theadmin: but i dont know how to do that in 11.10
[09:37] <theadmin> niftylettuce: Sorry, not possible... Try XFCE, it's a lot like gnome2
[09:38] <ktokopnik> auronandace: *nod*  according to forum stuff i've been reading, ma401 is supposed to work out of box.  :P
[09:38] <niftylettuce> theadmin: according to http://ubuntuguide.net/ubuntu-11-10-how-to-auto-login-gnome-shell-gnome3-desktop it is?
[09:38] <theadmin> niftylettuce: That site is not official, and well, it is partially but it'll break your system.
[09:40] <alp> llutz: yes, but when you hibernate the program running will be temporarily saved on the RAM, right? and when you open the system up it will load all the programs back. so I mean, when the system gives error like memory run out, it should be the RAM. and/or swap?
[09:40] <llutz> alp: not the programm will be saved in RAM, the hole OS will and will be stopped.
[09:40] <auronandace> ktokopnik: did you put the pcmcia card in after you booted or before
[09:41] <alp> llutz: I see, and be temporarily saved in the memory, right?
[09:41] <ktokopnik> auronandace: eep.  don't remember, have just pulled out and reinserted while running tail...
[09:41] <llutz> alp: no, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hibernation_(computing)
[09:41] <alp> llutz: thanks
[09:42] <auronandace> ktokopnik: try shutting down, put the card in then cold boot
[09:42] <auronandace> ktokopnik: i can never remember if they are meant to be hot-plugable
[09:42] <ktokopnik> auronandace: have done this before and does not change results.  (this is 48 hours into my exploration of problem. heh.)
[09:42] <auronandace> ktokopnik: ah
[09:43] <shashwatpns> Probably someone can help me with this- http://paste.ubuntu.com/754638/ ( this is what when i run an alternate install cd upgrade)| help- llutz, ktokopnik, auronandace, alp, niftylettuce, gianni, theadmin, someone help!
[09:43] <theadmin> shashwatpns: No point in mentioning everyone's names, if someone can help they would.

[09:43] <shashwatpns> *kk
[09:44] <auronandace> shashwatpns: i don't do upgrades, i fresh install (a whole lot less hassle with my setup)
[09:45] <shashwatpns> auronandace : i have a lot of stuff installed, that is why; is there any way to backup all of that?
[09:45] <ktokopnik> shashwatpns: concur w/auronandace, fresh install generally much easier, also based on observation of many other people attempting upgrade.
[09:46] <auronandace> shashwatpns: mount the partition it is on and copy what you need
[09:46] <shashwatpns> auronandace : the installed programes?
[09:47] <auronandace> shashwatpns: no, your data or settings
[09:47] <auronandace> shashwatpns: most setting would be in your /home
[09:47] <ktokopnik> auronandace: thx for attempt, will be probing some more, and possibly back later.  *sigh*  (REALLY, THIS IS *FUN* (or something))  ttfn.
[09:48] <shashwatpns> auronandace : * what about the installed programmes
[09:48] <auronandace> shashwatpns: reinstall them and copy over your settings

[09:49] <Utopiah> hi #ubuntu
[09:49] <shashwatpns> hi utopiah
[09:50] <Utopiah> so yesterday I asked about a ACPI problem as halt caused Ubuntu to stop but not the computer to actually shutdown, I didn't change anything but instead used shutdown -h now and it actually properly stop now
[09:50] <ahhughez> just trying to follow some guidelines... says that `lsmod | grep uinput` will tell me if the uinput module is installed... thing is what is a module? same as a package? and how can I tell if uinput is still valid for use because I could only find rinput package....
[09:50] <Utopiah> any idea why as it seems halt relies on shutdown anyway?
[09:51] <ahhughez> Utopiah, I got next to no idea.... mine is having some issue which might be related to day light savings I think...
[09:51] <ahhughez> mine now wakes up for some unknown reason, its weird.
[09:51] <Utopiah> checked the BIOS? deactived boot-on-lan?
[09:52] <ahhughez> nothing should be waking this on the lan tho. but yeah I can disable it.
[09:52] <ahhughez> router is not capable of sending a WOL
[09:52] <ahhughez> AFAIK anyway

[10:14] <cvam> __Alex_: In Gparted sda1 partition(where I've installed windows)  has boot flag. now i want to install fresh copy of windows in this partition. how to do ?
[10:14] <__Alex_> cvam: I would reinstall windows like Normally (NOt touch Ubuntu drives in Windows!!!), then boot from a Ubuntu live cd, then chroot into your Ubuntu installation, and reinstall GRUB
[10:14] <theadmin> nettezzaumana: Ah, sorry, I don't know.
[10:15] <nettezzaumana> theadmin: i need to print out DHCPACK content
[10:15] <__Alex_> cvam: Then, i would use OS-Prober to find Windows, and i would be set
[10:16] <nettezzaumana> theadmin: example http://susepaste.org/view/raw/86590260
[10:16] <theadmin> nettezzaumana: Sorry, I wouldn't know... suse eh...

[10:18] <cvam> __Alexl_: Can i  uninstall grub from windows partition and install it in Ubuntu partition
[10:19] <auronandace> cvam: grub isn't installed to the windows partition
[10:19] <theadmin> cvam: You don't install Grub in partitions...
[10:19] <cvam> __Alex_: Can i  uninstall grub from windows partition and install it in Ubuntu partition
[10:19] <auronandace> cvam: grub isn't installed to the windows partition
[10:19] <__Alex_> Í dont even think you can install GRUB on your Windows drive.....
[10:19] <theadmin> cvam: Grub is installed in the first few sectors of the drive, BEFORE partitions, i.e. in the MBR.
[10:20] <__Alex_> Thats BOOT0 of GRUB, but Grub itself is stored in your /boot partition
[10:20] <theadmin> __Alex_: Well, yes, true too.
[10:20] <__Alex_> *Stage0
[10:20] <theadmin> __Alex_: But that just confuses people more
[10:20] <cvam> then  can I change the boot flag to ubuntu partition (now windows partition is flaged as boot)
[10:21] <theadmin> cvam: gparted and cfdisk and most other partitioning apps can do that...
[10:21] <auronandace> cvam: you don't need to
[10:21] <theadmin> cvam: But what happened is windows wiped grub out
[10:21] <theadmin> !restoregrub | cvam
[10:21] <auronandace> !grub | cvam
[10:21] <theadmin> cvam: See this link: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub

[10:25] <REK_007> that also dont help

[10:31] <nettezzaumana> auronandace: as senior sysadmin with 10+ years of field experience i'm sometimes wondering why ubuntu differs so much in obvious things ;)
[10:31] <HerrBlume> has someone the same problem?
[10:32] <auronandace> nettezzaumana: you'd have to ask mark shuttleworth that :)
[10:32] <dr_willis> i dident even see the problem. :)
[10:33] <[twisti]> hi, im trying to follow this advice
[10:33] <[twisti]> http://superuser.com/questions/175861/ramdisk-ubuntu-10-04
[10:33] <[twisti]> but i have no ramdisk command
[10:33] <[twisti]> and apt-get doesnt know it either
[10:33] <HerrBlume> dr_willis: I would like to disable network configuration for a automatik ubuntu installation.
[10:33] <nettezzaumana> auronandace: i don't think that he's maintainer of any package ;)
[10:34] <[twisti]> and nothing in apt-cache search sounds like its what i want
[10:34] <__Alex_> mount -t tmpfs tmp /somewhere
[10:35] <alexe> Hi All, I have what seems like it should be a simple problem.  Wondering if anyone can help.
[10:35] <auronandace> nettezzaumana: true, but i think we are getting off-topic (i'm more of an arch guy than a ubuntu guy)
[10:35] <deej1976> twisti: "ramdisk" is a line in /etc/fstab it is not a command
[10:35] <sjd_> ?
[10:35] <[twisti]> oh
[10:35] <[twisti]> oh wow it even says that
[10:35] <[twisti]> im an idiot
[10:35] <[twisti]> thanks lol
[10:37] <alexe> I have a serial bluetooth device that is recognized properly and functions, but has a permission problem.  The device shows up as rfcomm0, and an ls -l shows it to be rw accessible to a group that my user is a member of, but I can only use the port if I launch my application (a python app) with sudo.  Any suggestions on how to keep from having to run my app with root privileges?
[10:38] <luist> how can i rsync just 10.04 ubuntu repo?? what url can i use??
[10:46] <_DeLa_> hi there
[10:46] <dr_willis> hmmm
[10:47] <_DeLa_> I am running on a system rescue usb stick right now and I would love to log onto my main HD (linux mint 11) and delete the xorg.conf file
[10:47] <_DeLa_> how do I do this?
[10:47] <_jason> _DeLa_: mount the partition and delete the file
[10:47] <dr_willis> _DeLa_:  you just mount the installed filesystem. and use sudo rm  /path./to./it
[10:47] <_jason> (though this isn't really an ubuntu question)
[10:48] <dr_willis> you dont need to 'log' into the installed system.. unless you set up some fancy encryption of the whole hd.
[10:48] <dr_willis> there should be a rescue/recovery mode also in the grub menu to let you do this without a live cd. and you should go check the mint channels. :)
[10:48] <iceroot> !mint | _DeLa_
[10:48] <_DeLa_> oh
[10:50] <dr_willis> perhaps someday Mint will make their irc clients default to the mint help channels. :)
[10:51] <ntr0py> has anyone here experience with TurboVNC and can share opinions about it?
[10:51] <auronandace> dr_willis:maybe you could submit a bug report to them for exactly that
[10:51] <dr_willis> Im allergic to mint.. :)
[10:52] <_DeLa_> dr_willis: my usb stick was created with multisystem - do mean that there is a rescue / recovery mode in the menu?
[10:52] <cvam> will  "grub-install" command install legacy grub or grub 2 ?
[10:52] <auronandace> cvam: grub2
[10:52] <_DeLa_> iceroot: sorry - next time I will conect to mint channel
[10:52] <dr_willis> _DeLa_:  i mean on a normal install of UBUNTU  theres a grub menu item for 'recovery/rescue'  no need for a live cd or usb at all for your needs in this case.
[10:52] <auronandace> _DeLa_: or you could connect now
[10:53] <_DeLa_> ok
[10:53] <dr_willis> cvam:  if grub2 is installed the grub-install command is actually calling grub2-install i think.

[11:06] <_jason> vidine: but why are you searching for glib instead of just use the opencv packages in the repositories?
[11:06] <monk> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tkzm9tv9GVE&feature=player_embedded
[11:07] <vidine> _jason opencv in the repos is python binding
[11:07] <dr_willis> SoWhat:  grub failed to install properly. which is sort of rare. but not unheard of.  whats your level of linux experience?
[11:07] <vidine> not c++ or c one
[11:07] <_jason> vidine: yes, the python binding is there and so is the c library.
[11:07] <vidine> c and c++??
[11:07] <SoWhat> dr_willis: wery small experiance :) total beginner
[11:08] <dr_willis> SoWhat:  exactly how did you do that install?  from within windows? booted a live cd/usb? or how exactly.
[11:08] <vidine> I do install; but I cannot compile the code(sure its correct)
[11:08] <lwizardl> hello
[11:08] <firerose> hi all
[11:08] <_jason> !info libcv4 lucid | vidine
[11:09] <vidine> error I got: OpenCV Error: Unspecified error (The function is not implemented. Rebuild the library with Windows, GTK+ 2.x or Carbon support. If you are on Ubuntu or Debian, install libgtk2.0-dev and pkg-config, then re-run cmake or configure script) in cvNamedWindow,
[11:09] <lwizardl> I was wondering what is a good application to rename filenames in bulk? I have tried a few of them and don't really like them so looking for someone else
[11:09] <vidine> I do install libgtk2.0-dev and pkg-config
[11:09] <vidine> btw
[11:09] <dr_willis> lwizardl:  i tend to use 'qmv' - but it depends on what i am renaming and how.
[11:09] <dr_willis> !find qmv
[11:10] <_jason> vidine: check if the package was built with that support or not.  It could be that the package in lucid is too old
[11:10] <vidine> yes
[11:10] <vidine> too old
[11:10] <_jason> vidine: how do you know it's too old?
[11:10] <vidine> I will build atest
[11:10] <vidine> latest
[11:10] <vidine> no choice have to build by myself
[11:10] <vidine> opencv 2.3
[11:10] <lwizardl> dr_willis, ok well what I usually end up renaming is tv series episodes. they usually have wacky names and I just want to change them to something simple like "Series - Ep **"
[11:10] <SoWhat> I had Ubuntu, then I installed W7, then grub dissapeared, then I reinstalled Ubuntu from USB, but in the end of installation there was written "An attempt to install additional packages from the CD failed". This is stupid, because I wasnt using CD, but USB
[11:11] <vidine> not 2.0 o~ 2.2
[11:11] <dr_willis> lwizardl:  i use qmv for renaming a  list of names all the time for such a task.
[11:12] <dr_willis> lwizardl:  it works with a text editor to do the actual find/replaceing. so with a deent text editor/skills its fairly simple.
[11:13] <dr_willis> lwizardl:  i tend to use it with the 'geany' text editor, or fte,  but any with decent search/replace and/or vertical block tools works well.
[11:14] <harsh343> what is ubuntu cloud ?
[11:15] <lwizardl> Okay found one that works perfectly for me :) KRename. did exactly what I needed it for
[11:15] <lwizardl> thanks everyone

[11:16] <drey> impressive
[11:16] <LjL> eek
[11:16] <SoWhat> dr_willis: I had Ubuntu, then I installed W7, then grub dissapeared, then I reinstalled Ubuntu from USB, but in the end of installation there was written "An attempt to install additional packages from the CD failed". This is stupid, because I wasnt using CD, but USB
[11:17] <cdc> hello
[11:17] <ignas> hi
[11:17] <dr_willis> SoWhat:  if windows whiped out the bootloader., you just had to reinstall grub not the whole s.
[11:17] <ignas> a silly unix question what executes first crontab @reboot or /etc/rc.local ?
[11:17] <dr_willis> SoWhat:  ive seen some cases where the installer gets confused and thinks theres a cd..
[11:18] <SoWhat> dr_willis: I tried that in the beginning, but didn't help
[11:18] <dr_willis> ignas:  rc.local is the last service that gets started i belive.
[11:18] <cdc> I'm using ubuntu 11.10, and would like to see guake's icon in systray. just put ['all'] in com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist with dconf-editor, but even after rebooting guake's icon doesn't appear
[11:18] <dr_willis> ignas:  however gdm/lightdm can appear befor rc.local is totally done.
[11:18] <SoWhat> dr_willis: I had almost clean Ubuntu install, so it didn't matter a lot
[11:19] <dr_willis> SoWhat:  ive never had that erorr when installing from usb. so cant really suggest a fix for it.
[11:19] <SoWhat> dr_willis: there is already bug reported on this CD issue https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/658865
[11:19] <ignas> dr_willis, i need to mount a network drive before starting all the @reboot crontab jobs, where should I put it then?
[11:20] <SoWhat> dr_willis: how do you think, could this grub error be because of CD bug?
[11:20] <dr_willis> SoWhat:  could be. it did a partitial install and dident complete.. so yes. i whoudl think so
[11:20] <dr_willis> SoWhat:  try installing from cd. i guess would be the easists work around.
[11:21] <cvam> what is the significance of specifying "--boot-directory"  parameter in grub-install command
[11:21] <g0rby> Hey there, I just upgraded my 10.4 box to oneiric and now x doesnt start, giveing me errors about the nvidia kernel module not loading. Ive tried reinstalling nvidia-current but that doesnt seem to help either. anyone lend a hand?
[11:21] <harsh343> deej1976, ok

[11:22] <qqqqqqqq19> Hi, how do change the email-address associated with an ekiga-account or alternatively delete an ekiga-account?
[11:22] <SoWhat> dr_willis: As I understand from this link, I just have to move some files in my USB to different location.
[11:24] <harsh343> deej1976, I am cloud terminal right now when i enter simply php on the terminal I am under the terminal now how back again on the terminal
[11:25] <harsh343> in*
[11:25] <deej1976> harsh343: I've never use a cloud terminal
[11:25] <harsh343> deej1976, ok
[11:26] <dr_willis> i wonder how a cloud terminal is differnt then a X terminal.. or a dumb-terminal, or a chromebook :)
[11:26] <cvam> after windows wipes the grub,in which partition shall i install grub ? this is fdisk output  http://paste.ubuntu.com/754734/
[11:26] <dr_willis> cvam:  the mbr of the hd you are going to boot normally.
[11:27] <deej1976> deej1976: I don't know, maybe quit/exit might work. But the php part is a mistery
[11:27] <dr_willis> cvam:  if you have 2 hard drives.  You could put on the 2nd hd. and tell the bios to boot that hd. and thus leave the first hd untouched
[11:27]  * deej1976 talking to myself again
[11:27] <Braden2> I am trying to get truecrypt to mount a volume on my ubuntu box, but when I try to mount it I get:  "Error: fuse: failed to open /dev/fuse: Permission denied"; however, /dev/fuse exists.
[11:27] <llutz> Braden2: "id" does it show you as member of group fuse?
[11:29] <cvam> what is the significance of specifying "--boot-directory"  parameter in grub-install command
[11:30] <llutz> cvam: as the name says: its the location of your /boot dir to be used for grub
[11:31] <Braden2> llutz:  Yes, I am a member of group fuse
[11:31] <Braden2> I have both root and braden in that group
[11:31] <llutz> Braden2: and you logged in new after adding you to that group?
[11:32] <Braden2> Nay
[11:32] <Braden2> Let me do that
[11:33] <fornix> while installing ubuntu, is it possible to install it on an external HDD?
[11:33] <Braden2> Same error
[11:34] <fornix> i need to install ubuntu on an external HDD so that if i dont hv the external HDD, i can boot into win7. And when i want to use linux, i will connect the ext hdd. my doubt is where will grub go in this case? mbr of the first hard drive? if yes, will i be able to load win 7 without external hdd
[11:35] <dr_willis> fornix:  ive done it that way befor.
[11:35] <dr_willis> fornix:  put grub on the external hd. and you may bneed to tell the bios what hd to boot.
[11:35] <dr_willis> fornix:  windows drive should remain untouched if you do it right
[11:35] <cgtdk> How do I change repository mirror on Ubuntu from the console?
[11:36] <dr_willis> fornix:  and if you boot the extrnal drive.it should show windows as an boot optiuon.. that makes it easy to just leave the hd plugged in.
[11:36] <dr_willis> !info mirrorselect
[11:37] <dr_willis> Hmm. used to be a mirrorselect tool..
[11:38] <dr_willis> edit the /etc/apt/sources.list is one way cgtdk
[11:38] <cgtdk> ok
[11:38] <Chillance> is it possible to connect to a computer on my local LAN with rdesktop that has VPN into my work?
[11:39] <Chillance> thing is, as soon as I VPN that computer into work office, rdesktop drops the connection to the computer
[11:42] <rk1router> how to check XML parser installed properly or not
[11:42] <MonkeyDust> Chillance  if you use rdesktop to connect to a windows machine, the machine itself logs out, that is correct, or is that not what you mean
[11:43] <Chillance> MonkeyDust, ok, so I have this and my windows computer on my LAN here
[11:43] <Chillance> using rdesktop to it works fine
[11:43] <MonkeyDust> yes
[11:43] <Chillance> however, as soon as I use VPN on it, rdesktop looses the connection to it
[11:44] <dr_willis> it reroutes all the networking throught the vpn, hanging up on the local lan. I thought thats how vpn worked.
[11:44] <Chillance> which in a way makes sense I guess, but still, the windows machine is still here on my network
[11:44] <Chillance> aha
[11:44] <MonkeyDust> yes, that is because with vpn, you login the machine itself, but it cannot be logged in twice, it is either rdesktop *or* the local machine
[11:44] <Chillance> well
[11:44] <dr_willis> its tunneling evyerthing  through the vpn (i thinkis the right term)
[11:44] <Chillance> funny thing is, I've made it work before, because of some magic.. oh well
[11:45] <Chillance> so, its IMPOSSIBLE? :)
[11:45] <dr_willis> never tried. :)
[11:46] <dr_willis> connect the other box to the vpn also? :)
[11:46] <Chillance> before it worked if I had used rdesktop FIRST, then VPN.. but now it doesnt work
[11:46] <Chillance> oh well
[11:47] <Wiz_KeeD> hello guys, can anyone tell me how i can install recordmydesktop on ubuntu 10.4?
[11:48] <Wiz_KeeD> i seem to fail at doing that
[11:48] <dr_willis> !info recordmydesktop
[11:48] <dr_willis> sudo apt-get install recordmydesktop
[11:48] <dr_willis> then theres the gtk front end you may want.
[11:48] <yorgos> synaptic pacage manager
[11:48] <dr_willis> !info gtk-recordmydesktop
[11:48] <Wiz_KeeD> do i also install that like that?
[11:48] <dr_willis> sudo apt-get install recordmydesktop  gtk-recordmydesktop
[11:49] <Wiz_KeeD> bloody genius
[11:49] <Wiz_KeeD> forgot about that
[11:49] <Wiz_KeeD> thank you so much :D
[11:49] <dr_willis> it is? rather basic way of installing stuff.... :)
[11:49] <Wiz_KeeD> i didn't know how to compile those manually
[11:49] <needhelp1> is there any plan to incorporate dictionary into the unity dash?
[11:49] <dr_willis> needhelp1:  there maybe some 'lenses' to do that allready. check the askubuntu.com lense listings
[11:49] <Wiz_KeeD> it's harder to remove thigns installed with apt-get after
[11:49] <Chillance> btw, any plans of making a ubuntu release without unity?
[11:50] <dr_willis> Wiz_KeeD:  much harder to remove things you compile from source. :)
[11:50] <Chillance> Ive really tried to like it, but it just is annoying and a step backwards
[11:50] <dr_willis> Chillance:  that would be lubuntu, kubuntu, xubuntu, or similer..
[11:50] <Chillance> if I want gnome?
[11:50] <dr_willis> use gnome-shell then.
[11:50] <needhelp1> dr_willis, im hoping there will be default lenses activate on a default install, other wise it seems like a waste of time to me
[11:50] <MonkeyDust> Chillance  linux mint (but that is not supported here)
[11:51] <Wiz_KeeD> ok dr_willis thank you
[11:51] <Chillance> well, problem with that is that its messy, and doesnt work properly
[11:51] <Wiz_KeeD> i shall return later
[11:51] <dr_willis> needhelp1:  theres not a lot of lenses by default right now. theres a lot that have came out since unitys release.
[11:51] <Chillance> spend waay to many hours on that
[11:51] <Chillance> and using synergy, unity doesnt even work
[11:51] <bastidrazor> dr_willis: checkinstall makes self-compiled projects just as easy to uninstall.
[11:51] <dr_willis> I got unity tweaked how i like it with quicklists and indicator applets.. i rarely use the differnt lenses
[11:52] <rk1router> how to install  XML parser in ubuntu 11
[11:52] <rk1router> ??
[11:52] <dr_willis> rk1router:  check the package manager for it?
[11:52] <rk1router> i am using command line,Please help i can't access packet manager
[11:52] <dr_willis> rk1router:  apt-cache search PATTERN
[11:52] <jsimmons> rk1router, which xml parser?
[11:53] <rk1router> jsimmons: yes
[11:53] <deej1976> !info libxml-parser-perl
[11:54] <rk1router> jsimmons: perl XML parser
[11:55] <dr_willis>  apt-cache search xml-parser
[11:55] <dr_willis> shows several packages for that
[11:55] <deej1976> apt-cache search xml | grep parser
[11:55] <deej1976> even more
[11:56] <dr_willis> !apt
[11:56] <dr_willis> ;)

[12:03] <VictorCL> cronjob :  30 5 * * 1  <-- this will ron every monday at 5:30am  no ?
[12:04] <christoz> Hello, i'm using ubuntu server 10.10, and could not include  php files in my php scripts, php was sending me the  "... for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') .. " the catalog that the php files are underneath was named dependecies"  i've changed the name of the catalog and no error reported, my question is, is the "dependecies"  word asigned to the system?
[12:08] <llutz> VictorCL: yes
[12:08] <zabomber> hi. i have a backup of ubuntu 11.10 running on a laptop
[12:09] <zabomber> is it easy to restore to a different computer?
[12:09] <zabomber> i have all sorts of applications i.e. apache, nessus, splunk, mysql running on it
[12:09] <VictorCL> are there official themes for ubuntu?
[12:09] <VictorCL> to download and apply
[12:10] <auronandace> zabomber: if it is an image you might be able to dd it to the new system (if the harddrive is big enough)
[12:11] <flibble99> RT3090BC4 wireless is fine but my bluetooth appears to not be working but it is detected and I can switch it off/on, any ideas?
[12:13] <ahhughez> can anyone help me get the uinput module running?
[12:14] <ahhughez> 11.04
[12:14] <ahhughez> see.... `lsmod | grep uinput` should yeild something. It does not.
[12:14] <auronandace> ahhughez: what happens when you: sudo modprobe uinput?
[12:14] <honey_> is there any body who can tell me on how to configure the apache on greenstone software on ubuntu?
[12:14] <ahhughez> nothing, blank
[12:15] <auronandace> ahhughez: then lsmod, is it there?
[12:15] <ahhughez> no
[12:15] <MonkeyDust> is it possible to simply disable the launcher on the left?
[12:15] <niftylettuce> MonkeyDust: yeah
[12:16] <MonkeyDust> niftylettuce  ....
[12:16] <niftylettuce> MonkeyDust: you can get some black tape and put it on that side of your screen
[12:16] <niftylettuce> JK lol
[12:16] <MonkeyDust> niftylettuce  you're in the wrong channel
[12:17] <niftylettuce> MonkeyDust: http://askubuntu.com/questions/33605/can-i-move-the-unity-launcher
[12:17] <niftylettuce> MonkeyDust: that what yo lookin for?
[12:18] <g0rby> Hello, I just upgraded to 11.04 and I have installed gnome-session-fallback so dont have the unity menu bar. Im unable to edit my pannels though (at the top and bottom of screen) is there something extra i need to install to get this functionality back?
[12:18] <auronandace> ahhughez: do you have the kernel headers?
[12:18] <niftylettuce> MonkeyDust: you will want to read this instead http://www.webupd8.org/2011/11/install-ubuntu-unity-bottom-launcher.html
[12:18] <niftylettuce> MonkeyDust: that is more updated
[12:19] <g0rby> I managed to get them back on my netbook somehow, I think it was some package but i cant remeber the name =/
[12:19] <MonkeyDust> niftylettuce  1) it moves the launcher, does not *remove* it -- 2) a PPA is needed, i don't want a PPA
[12:20] <MonkeyDust> so: not possible, that's what i wanted to know
[12:20] <auronandace> MonkeyDust: don't like unity, you could use a different desktop environment
[12:20] <g0rby> How can i edit my pannels if I have removed the unity bar on oneiric and logged in with gnome-session-fallback instead?
[12:20] <auronandace> MonkeyDust: xfce is my favourite
[12:20] <MonkeyDust> auronandace  am already using one ;)
[12:20] <niftylettuce> MonkeyDust: it is possible, modify the source at https://code.launchpad.net/~paullo612/unity/unityshell-rotated
[12:21] <ahhughez> auronandace, looks like it... `locate uinput` spits out a bunch of /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.38*/**/uinput.h and /user/include/linux/uinput.h
[12:21] <auronandace> ahhughez: pastebin lsmod
[12:22] <ahhughez> ummm /usr no /user  (my bad auto complete)
[12:22] <ahhughez> all of lsmod or just the grep?
[12:22] <auronandace> ahhughez: all please
[12:22] <ahhughez> 1 sec
[12:23] <g0rby> bleh....
[12:24] <g0rby> they changed the panel edit functionality to alt-r click is all...
[12:24] <honey_> is there any body who can tell me on how to configure the apache on greenstone software on ubuntu?
[12:24] <ahhughez> auronandace,   http://pastebin.com/DZPEzgCA  and THANKS HEAPS SO FAR!
[12:25] <auronandace> honey_: maybe someone in #ubuntu-server would know
[12:26] <MonkeyDust> "Greenstone is a suite of software tools for building and distributing digital library collections on the Internet or CD-ROM. It is open-source, multilingual software, issued under the terms of the GNU General Public License."
[12:26] <auronandace> ahhughez: and that is the list after you've done modprobe uinput?
[12:27] <ahhughez> no,
[12:27] <auronandace> ahhughez: do the modprobe first then lsmod to verify it loaded
[12:27] <ahhughez> auronandace, ok will try... but done that a few times and nothing happens
[12:31] <ahhughez> auronandace, done. Nothing.
[12:31] <damasceno> Anyone already used this device on Ubuntu: intelbras wbn 240 (It's a wireless adapter)?
[12:32] <auronandace> ahhughez: well i'm stumped then
[12:32] <ahhughez> me too :)
[12:32] <ahhughez> or rather :'(
[12:33] <esmirlin> hi guys, is there any way to install the nvidia driver por a nvidia geforce gt 520mx? i've seen on the nvidia websine there's a linux driver for this card but trying to install it on my laptop it crashes all the time :( it's an hybrid one btw
[12:38] <jey> why does update-apt-xapian-index need many minutes of CPU time? does it really need to rebuild the index from scratch every single time?
[12:41] <jey> 7 cpu minutes and still not done...
[12:42] <Odaym> minutes of cpu time?
[12:42] <Odaym> what kind of metric is that?
[12:42] <Odaym> don't you have a watch?
[12:42] <jey> the point is to NOT measure wall-clock time since that can vary hugely depending on the system load.
[12:43] <damasceno> Anyone know how can I install and use the intelbras wbn 240 wireless adapter (USB)
[12:44] <jey> Odaym, the "time" column in tools like top is CPU time, btw
[12:44] <Odaym> I see
[12:45] <disctostu> there was a power cut yesterday and because my computer shutdown suddenly i can now not get past the login screen. when i enter the correct password (caps lock etc off) the screen goes black, and then displays the login window again. this happened before and it was solved by deleting some session file to create a new one, can anyone tell me what that file is please?
[12:46] <ChesterX> hey, for the moment I only have ubuntu on my desktop. I would like to install windows on my free partition and would like to know if I ll have to make a new bootloader afterwards
[12:47] <angelete2> hi
[12:48] <angelete2> i have a problem with my 10.04 server
[12:48] <angelete2> my cron is going wrong
[12:48] <nixxofugi> good morning. does anyone have a fix for the shutdown issue in 11.10 oneric??
[12:48] <angelete2> i've added this entry to my /etc/crontab: 46 13 * * *     root    test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || touch /root/kkzaddd.txt
[12:48] <zabomber> ChesterX: instead of wasting time with dual booting, unless you gaming, why not just use virtualbox?
[12:49] <nixxofugi> i hit shutdown and it hangs at the ubuntu logo. won't shut off...
[12:49] <angelete2> in syslog i've seen the execution log, but kkzaddd.txt file has not created
[12:49] <ChesterX> zabomber, i want to game (that is indeed the only reason why I would use it in the first place)
[12:50] <llutz> angelete2: ls -l /usr/sbin/anacron   says what?
[12:50] <diverdude> Hello. how do i see disk usage in terminal?
[12:50] <llutz> diverdude: du -sxh
[12:50] <discostu_> there was a power cut last night shutting down my computer suddenly and because of this i cannot get past the login screen. after i enter the password correctly (caps lock off etc) the screen goes black and then asks for the password again. this happened before and i think it was solved by deleting a file to force a new session as the last was corrupt. can anybody tell me what file i need to
[12:50] <discostu_> delete please?
[12:51] <angelete2> llutz: 28 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 26272 2010-03-05 03:29 /usr/sbin/anacron
[12:51] <diverdude> llutz: thats only for current directory right?
[12:52] <llutz> angelete2: so "test-x  /usr/sbin/anacron " is true and the || do something part skipped
[12:52] <diverdude> llutz: how do i see disksize and usage of all disks
[12:52] <llutz> diverdude: du -sxh /path
[12:52] <llutz> diverdude: df -h
[12:52] <llutz> angelete2: what do you expect your cronjob should do?
[12:53] <Braden`> I am trying to get truecrypt to mount a volume on my ubuntu box, but when I try to mount it I get:  "Error: fuse: failed to open /dev/fuse: Permission denied"; however, /dev/fuse exists.  I am in the plugdev and fuse groups.
[12:53] <angelete2> llutz: cron is doing nothing at all, that's why i'm testing it
[12:54] <diverdude> llutz: this is what df -h gives: http://pastebin.com/LyYdUZVP
[12:54] <angelete2> test -x /usr/sbin/anacron tells OK
[12:54] <diverdude> llutz: its pretty full eh?
[12:54] <llutz> angelete2: <angelete2> in syslog i've seen the execution log"   <- so cronjob was executed?
[12:54] <llutz> diverdude: indeed
[12:54] <diverdude> llutz: what are all those none?
[12:55] <angelete2> Nov 30 13:46:01 XXXXX CRON[11402]: (root) CMD (   test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || touch /root/kkzaddd.txt )
[12:55] <llutz> diverdude: virtual fs like sysfs, devfs
[12:55] <llutz> angelete2: what is your problem then?
[12:55] <discostu_> there was a power cut last night causing a sudden shutdown and due to this i cannot get passed the login screen. after i enter the password (caps lock etc off) the screen goes black, then asks for the password again. this happened before and i think it was solved by deleting some file to force a new session as the previous one was corrupt - can anybody tell me what file to delete?
[12:55] <diverdude> ok...so there is only 1 partition on the entire harddisk right? on 227 GB
[12:57] <llutz> angelete2: command1 || command2     means: execute command2 only if command1 _fails_
[12:57] <llutz> diverdude: df only shows mounted filesystems. sudo fdisk -l        to check if there are more partitions
[12:58] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[13:00] <diverdude> llutz: when i try to do du -sxh /media/usbdisk1TB/ it says only 4kb even though thats not true...how can i check disk usage of external disk?
[13:00] <discostu_> there was a power cut last night causing a sudden shutdown and due to this i cannot get passed the login screen. after i enter the password (caps lock etc off) the screen goes black, then asks for the password again. this happened before and i think it was solved by deleting some file to force a new session as the previous one was corrupt - can anybody tell me what file to delete?
[13:00] <llutz> angelete2: so, as long as your /usr/sbin/anacron is existing+executable (test -x), your "touch .." won't run
[13:00] <llutz> diverdude: its not mounted
[13:01] <ahhughez> any idea if/how I can change the DPI for a mouse?
[13:01] <diverdude> llutz: you are right...thx man
[13:02] <llutz> diverdude: [13:57:37] <llutz> diverdude: df only shows mounted filesystems.
[13:02] <diverdude> yep...thx
[13:02] <discostu_> there was a power cut last night causing a sudden shutdown and due to this i cannot get passed the login screen. after i enter the password (caps lock etc off) the screen goes black, then asks for the password again. this happened before and i think it was solved by deleting some file to force a new session as the previous one was corrupt - can anybody tell me what file to delete?
[13:02] <Snicksie> hm, somebody know howto emulate that annoying pc beep?
[13:05] <Crayboff> discostu: meta_inf ? is that what you're talking about?
[13:06] <angelete2> llutz: really test command is not being executing
[13:06] <discostu_> Crayboff: i think it might be rm ~/.cache/sessions/*
[13:06]  * conntrack scratches 
[13:06] <Crayboff> oh, sorry i wasn't sure what you were asking exactly
[13:06] <llutz> angelete2: it is [13:55:07] <angelete2> Nov 30 13:46:01 XXXXX CRON[11402]: (root) CMD (   test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || touch /root/kkzaddd.txt )
[13:07] <angelete2> can you make test --version ? what does it outpu?
[13:07] <discostu_> Crayboff ty :)
[13:07] <llutz> angelete2: "*/5 * * * *     root    test -x /usr/sbin/anacron && touch /root/kkzaddd.txt"    use this as a test
[13:10] <llutz> angelete2: test --version gives nothing back (odd). but i'm not on ubuntu yet
[13:10] <angelete2> with && it has worked
[13:11] <llutz> angelete2: sure, you want to read "man bash" about && and || and what they do
[13:11] <angelete2> maybe your right, but i haven't changed previous entries from my crontab
[13:11] <angelete2> and all of them has ||
[13:11] <llutz> angelete2: command1 || command2     means: execute command2 _only_ if command1 _fails_
[13:12] <llutz> angelete2:  sure, one does use || to tell "do something OR tell me it failed"
[13:14] <kev-ls80> how would one go about setting up a webcam to record with video and sound? when i record with cheese, all i get is a video and an odd "crackly" sound if any sound at all
[13:15] <Braden`> Where can I find the kernel source for older kernal's?
[13:16] <Braden`> I need 2.6.18
[13:16] <stimpie> kev-ls80, vlc should be able to do that
[13:17] <stimpie> Braden`, the git repository on kernel.org has that
[13:17] <random42> My apache2 is misbehaving as proxy server, sometimes it honours FTP requests sometimes it goes wild and tried to connect to remote_server:proxy_port instead of remote_server:21
[13:17] <ania_> 1593 normal users
[13:18] <kev-ls80> sudo apt-get install vlc vlc-plugin-pulse mozilla-plugin-vlc
[13:18] <kev-ls80> sorry meant to put that in my terminal
[13:18] <random42> tries* anyways, here is the error log line:
[13:18] <random42> error] (110)Connection timed out: proxy: FTP: attempt to connect to 253.255.90.111:8787 (*) failed
[13:18] <xangua> kev-ls80: disable the totem plugin if you have problems ;)
[13:18] <kev-ls80> how would i go about doing that?
[13:19] <random42> 8787 is my proxy port, and the IP is of an FTP server that a client on the network is trying to access
[13:19] <xangua> kev-ls80: you can also record your webcam with vlc
[13:19] <cipherboy> random42: you have two etherets, right? Inter and intra?
[13:20] <kev-ls80> all im getting is a fuzzy sound
[13:22] <schlem> Hello, I wonder if it is important to have the latest kernel version running when you are going to test compiz?
[13:22] <dr_willis> schlem:  i doubt if it matters a great deal.
[13:23] <dr_willis> schlem:  perhaps better to stick with  the 'stable' kernel release then to be cutting edge on both items
[13:23] <Braden`> Where is the linux kernel source usually stored?
[13:23] <Braden`> What path?
[13:24] <rlemon> is this where I could come for help with setting up a network printer? I have called the customer support for my printer manufacturer and they suggested I talk to you guys (they were useless)
[13:24] <llutz> Braden`: /usr/src
[13:24] <schlem> okey, ill keep the old stable version then.
[13:24] <random42> cipherboy yes, actually a wlan0 and a tun0
[13:24] <random42> but I have proper routing gateways and everything works fine, in fact if I wget the offending URL I get proper response (i.e. file gets downloaded)
[13:24] <cipherboy> random42: so are you sure it is going out the right ethernet? Is it only this one servr that doesn't work or is it everything on the inner network?
[13:24] <Braden`> Thanks
[13:25] <cipherboy> random42: ignore mine then
[13:25] <random42> cipherboy: yeah, I think i better head to #httpd
[13:25] <kev-ls80> I have the same problem with vlc as i do with cheese, fuzzy sound, if any
[13:25] <cipherboy> random42: sorry, not much of a net guy
[13:26] <rlemon> Anyone? I have a konica minolta bizhub c220 - the drivers ppa provided do not appear to be working - unless i'm missing a crucial step.
[13:27] <random42> cipherboy: can you help me register my nickname on #httpd ? can't speak there :( Not much of an IRC guy :D
[13:27] <cipherboy> rlemon you ran apt-get update?

[13:30] <Nisnos> hi , os 11.10 64 bit , my problem the Shell theme is not enable in Gnome tweak tools > theme > shell theme not enable
[13:30] <Fuwex> I followed this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebootstrapChroot to help me build a chroot environment for Hardy, however, after having followed the instructions, the environment doesn't seem to have included gnupg, so I can't use apt-get update to retrieve packagelist, and thus I can't install any packages in my environment. Can I somehow get gnupg installed? I realise I could install
[13:30] <LiNuX`sup> how can I bind middle mouse (mouse 3) to activate workspaces ubuntu 11.10?
[13:30] <Fuwex> the .deb myself, but then I'd have to manually resolve dependencies and install those as well...
[13:31] <random42> thanks xangua , joining #freenode and reading the help URL
[13:31] <dr_willis> Nisnos:  i recall following the gnomeshell/11.10 tweak guide at the webupd8 blog site. it showed what packages you needed to install.
[13:31] <cipherboy> Fuwex: is hardy it'll supported?
[13:31] <cipherboy> *still
[13:31] <dr_willis> LiNuX`sup:  if its possible. it would be in the ccsm/compiz settings
[13:32] <Fuwex> cipherboy, should clarify: I'm running ubuntu 11.10, but Hardy is my chroot environment. Hardy is LTS, seems like it's the oldest one still supported atm
[13:32] <bony> q
[13:32] <LiNuX`sup> dr_willis: yes I've tried there but don't see an option that would relate to middle mouse. I thought in a previous version it just waited for a keystroke... I can't see where to get that anymore
[13:32] <cipherboy> Fuwex give me a few to find a computer
[13:32] <Fuwex> cipherboy, all right, thanks

[13:34] <cipherboy> Not familiar with printing much.
[13:34] <Nisnos> dr_willis, i search gnomeshell/11.10 tweak guide in google and webupd8 and i didt find anything
[13:35] <dr_willis> rlemon:  depending on what OS i am printing from.. i select whatever printer service i need.
[13:35] <dr_willis> Nisnos:  try omgubuntu site perhaps.  all i did was follow some guide on either omgubutu or webupd8

[13:35] <LiNuX`sup> dr_willis: yes in ccsm/expo it has a keystroke bind and under says button and shows a graphic of a mouse. when I enable it I get the popup with a dropdown of button 1 - 15. I can't find any relating to the mouse. Is mouse 3 not button 3 or mouse 3 in linux>?
[13:35] <dk1> any idea?
[13:36] <luist> how can i rsync just 10.04 ubuntu repo?? what url can i use??
[13:36] <rlemon> ok.. so not being familiar with printer either ‌(and all other computers on the network are running windows - and connecting to the printer as a 'network printer'  just the generic search and setup option) what would the most standard, likely option.
[13:37] <rlemon> my printer also says it supports LPD and IPP - i've tried both.... been without printing for two weeks.
[13:37] <NaFiann> Hi, how do I get emacs to automatically load a .el file in ubuntu? I've not used emacs before, but I just need it to display a few files
[13:38] <cipherboy> back
[13:38] <helioz> is it possible to reuse a package I downloaded earlier?
[13:38] <helioz> or on a different system
[13:38] <theadmin> helioz: They would normally be in /var/cache/apt/ if I recall correctly.
[13:39] <helioz> let me see
[13:39] <cipherboy> Question: I change my password with passwd from cli. Now after upgrading to 11.10, I need to supply a password to unlock the keyring. Is my issue in using the cli to change my password, or is this a bug elsewhere?
[13:40] <cipherboy> never mind.
[13:40] <dusf_> there was a powercut last night and because my computer shut down unexpectedly i cannot login. after i enter my password the screen goes black and then asks for the password again. this happened before and was resolved by deleting some file. i had thought rm ~/.cache/sessions/* would do it but it didn't help. can anyone suggest something that might?
[13:40] <helioz> thank you
[13:41] <daniel__> i
[13:41] <daniel__> oi
[13:41] <daniel__> daniel
[13:41] <daniel__> oi
[13:41] <deej1976> daniel__: stop it please
[13:41] <daniel__> oi
[13:41] <dr_willis> dusf_:  make a new user. see if it works for them. as a test
[13:42] <oCean> !br | daniel__
[13:42] <julian> QUESTION: What dedicated server vendors know? I can recommend one?
[13:42] <daniel__> alguem me responde
[13:42] <oCean> julian: how is yours an #ubuntu issue?
[13:42] <daniel__> oi
[13:42] <oCean> daniel__: stop that
[13:42] <julian> oCean, :D
[13:43] <xangua> !pt | daniel__
[13:43] <dr_willis> Nisnos:  http://www.webupd8.org/2011/10/things-to-tweak-after-installing-ubuntu.html
[13:43] <julian> oCean, mmmmm just looking for some advice ... sorry if it bothers you.
[13:43] <daniel__> to aqui!!! quem quer me conhecer?
[13:43] <oCean> julian: this channel is for ubuntu tech support only. You may try #ubuntu-offtopic
[13:43] <xangua> dr_willis: it took you an eternity to find it ;)
[13:43] <julian> oCean, thanks.
[13:43] <daniel__> how are you?
[13:43] <deej1976> !ubuntu | daniel__:
[13:44] <rlemon> Woot! set it up as a windows printer and all is good - however the workgroup as  listed on the device admin web console is wrong (kinda peeved  me)
[13:44] <oCean> daniel__: this is technical ubuntu support, not chat. English only
[13:44] <dr_willis> xangua:  but it wasent there... according to him.....
[13:44] <daniel__> #ubuntu-pt
[13:44] <MonkeyDust> rlemon  did you need any windows components?
[13:44] <dusf_> dr_willis: i don't know how to do that from the command line, and as i've said a file just needs to be deleted like last time
[13:45] <cipherboy> MonkeyDust: rlemon left not joined.
[13:45] <dusf_> there was a powercut last night and because my computer shut down unexpectedly i cannot login. after i enter my password the screen goes black and then asks for the password again. this happened before and was resolved by deleting some file. i had thought rm ~/.cache/sessions/* would do it but it didn't help. can anyone suggest something that might?
[13:45] <dr_willis> dusf_:  ive never seen a issue like that caused by a cache/session file.
[13:45] <MonkeyDust> too bad, it insterested me
[13:45] <dr_willis> dusf_:  so its possiuble you are going about it the wrong way
[13:45] <dr_willis> dusf_:  try selecting a differnt session at the login screen perhaps.
[13:45] <dusf_> dr_willis: i am certain some file just needed to be deleted last time, i remember because in the end it was so simple
[13:46] <dr_willis> dusf_:  perhjaps its .dmrc
[13:46] <dusf_> dr_willis: switching sessions often breaks ubuntu
[13:46] <dusf_> dr_willis: .dmrc?
[13:46] <deej1976> dusf_: If you do ALT+f1 can you log in on the command line?
[13:46] <dr_willis> dusf_:  Hmm.. no it shouldent break ubuntu.
[13:46] <dusf_> deej1976: yes thankfully!
[13:46] <dusf_> dr_willis: my bad, *my xubuntu
[13:46] <Braden`> I am getting a compile error that u32 is an unknown type
[13:46] <dr_willis> dusf_:  the light dm login screen. the little gear icon should let you select other login sessions.
[13:47] <cipherboy> dusf_: check logs for wm
[13:47] <Braden`> Does anyone know how I could fix that?
[13:47] <dr_willis> xubuntu.. no idea on it.
[13:47] <dusf_> dr_willis: it's very similar
[13:47] <Braden`> (its a make script accessing my kernel source)
[13:47] <dr_willis> power failure = the filesystem may need fscked..
[13:47] <daniel__> exit
[13:47] <dusf_> cipherboy: wm? and can you tell me how?
[13:47] <dr_willis> or from the console, stop the X session, and try a simple 'startx' and look for error messages dusf_
[13:47] <dusf_> dr_willis: where can i find this .dmrc file to delete?
[13:48] <dr_willis> dusf_:  right in the users home dir..
[13:48] <dr_willis>  ~/.dmrc
[13:48] <dusf_> dr_willis: ty writing it down
[13:48] <dr_willis> its a 3 line file that  the login manager writes to save your  last used session
[13:48] <dr_willis> may be 5 lines.. :) not much in it
[13:48] <cipherboy> dusf_: so if you were using fluxbox (easiest that I know of atm, would have to google for others), you could check ~/.fluxbox/logs and see what crashed fluxbox (aka login, black screen, logout)
[13:49] <dusf_> dr_willis: sudo rmdir /.dmrc or rm /.dmrc/* ?
[13:49] <cipherboy> dusf_: try dr_willis suggestion first
[13:49] <dusf_> cipherboy: okay thanks
[13:49] <cipherboy> dusf_: no, it is a file
[13:49] <dr_willis> dusf_:  its a file.. and its not /* anything... it would be in your HOME directory.
[13:49] <dr_willis> ~/.dmrc
[13:49] <dusf_> dr_willis: sorry, i thought . before a file meant it was an invisible dir
[13:50] <cipherboy> dusf_: rm ~/.dmrc       <-- . also hides files
[13:50] <dr_willis> dusf_:  its a hidden file....
[13:50] <dusf_> dr_willis: i'm going to post on forums (while logged into windows), and then try deleting dmrc, thanks for the help
[13:50] <dusf_> will be back in a few mins
[13:52] <giacomo> ciao ragazzi ho un piccolo problema posso rivolgermi a voi?
[13:52] <oCean> !it | giacomo
[13:52] <giacomo> ok
[13:52] <cipherboy> oCean: how do you know which language it is?
[13:53] <MonkeyDust> it shows
[13:53] <oCean> cipherboy: this I can recognize, sometimes I use their IP to see what country they're from
[13:53] <lighta> cipherboy, iternet domain, it-> italian, fr->french, ru->russian...
[13:53] <MonkeyDust> i too can distinguish different languages
[13:56] <cipherboy> Anyone able to help me with an issue (or is this the new "desired" way to do things) regarding new 11.10 gnome3 interface? Both on gnome-classic, unity, and fluxbox, when I click the status change menu, it briefly shows itself, then hides, equally as quickly.
[13:57] <cipherboy> To change my status I have to click, hold down left mouse button, move mouse over desired status, then release left mouse.
[13:57] <theadmin> cipherboy: I beleive that's the intended behaviour
[13:58] <n2diy>  would not having my nick registered affect my notification sound?
[13:58] <cipherboy> theadmin: beautiful...
[14:00] <LiNuX`sup> does ubuntu/linux have a good batch file renaming app?
[14:00] <theadmin> LiNuX`sup: What are you trying to acheive?
[14:00] <Pici> LiNuX`sup: 'rename'
[14:00] <LiNuX`sup> thank you
[14:01] <Pici> LiNuX`sup: be sure to check out the manpage
[14:01] <LiNuX`sup> pyRenamer?
[14:02] <LiNuX`sup> or GPRename?
[14:02] <n2diy> my sound notification no longer works in xchat-gnome, but it works with other apps?
[14:03] <Pici> LiNuX`sup: rename is a cli program, it is part of coreutils iirc.
[14:03] <arunce> hi there, anyone know how to configure the pidgin to start with some flags when i call it in the indicator plugin?
[14:04] <llutz> Pici: mostly a link to prename, which comes with Perl
[14:04] <Pici> llutz: yeah, just realized that when I went to check.
[14:05] <n2diy> n2diy, test
[14:05] <deej1976> !info gprename
[14:06] <deej1976> !info prefixsuffix
[14:09] <n2diy> my sound notification no longer works in xchat-gnome, but it works with other apps?
[14:10] <yacc> Wondering, is there a way to set an atypical resolution with Ocelot?
[14:10] <yacc> (use case: as full screen mode is broken in qemu for people with multiple screens, creating a window that is sized screen - decoration seems the way to go)
[14:11] <Wolfsherz> hi, got a problem with firefox. i activated the sync-option, but after each restart it is off again. already created a new profile, and made sure that each file in ~/.mozilla belongs to me. any ideas?
[14:14] <spankbot> I have a HP EliteBook 247p Tablet style PC and would like to run Linux as my host.  Everything functions ok, the function buttons and the resistive tablet screen..  The problem I have, I need to access a digital "keyboard" when I'm running in Tablet mode... Ubuntu does not appear to have this functionality, or am I missing something?
[14:15] <edbian> spankbot: there is a virtual keyboard package, not sure it's installed by default.  hang on lemme google
[14:15] <BluesKaj> Wolfsherz, this won't help much , but FF never synced properly for me either so I went back to chromium
[14:16] <edbian> spankbot: press F5
[14:16] <edbian> spankbot: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Accessibility
[14:17] <Wolfsherz> BluesKaj: you are right, it does not help much ;) thanks anyway.... anyone got an idea?
[14:17] <edbian> Wolfsherz: You started sync and created an account and synced with some other machine?
[14:17] <Wolfsherz> edbian: yes
[14:17] <edbian> Wolfsherz: and then...?
[14:17] <Wolfsherz> edbian: whenever i close firefox, the sync-settings are gone. i need to reactivate sync each time...
[14:18] <spankbot> edbian >> thanks, I'm not the laptop now, but on another one.  Should I be able to see the digital keyboard from a standard laptop by hitting F5?  If so, I'm not seeing this functionality.
[14:18] <edbian> Wolfsherz: are other firefox settings saved through firefox shutdown and restart?
[14:18] <edbian> spankbot: read the link I posted.  F5 is supposed to bring up a bunch of things, an onscreen keyboard is part of orca apparently
[14:19] <Wolfsherz> edbian: yes, actually the settings from my other machine are correctly synced, and are still there after restarting firefox
[14:19] <lalaland1125> Does the regular ubuntu cd come with enough software on it to do a full install without internet? Or do I need to burn a dvd or something. I can get internet as soon as I can get a web browser up.
[14:19] <edbian> Wolfsherz: no I mean, on the problem machine (machine A) are other things about firefox saved through firefox stopping and starting (e.g. a new bookmark)
[14:19] <theadmin> lalaland1125: It does.
[14:19] <edbian> lalaland1125: You can install without internet with the liveCD
[14:20] <theadmin> lalaland1125: It comes with a lot of stuff that a regular user need.
[14:20] <spankbot> edbian >>  Yeah, your right, but right now I'm running Mint so this may not be applicable to Mint 11
[14:20] <Wolfsherz> edbian: the problem machine is actually machine b... ;) and yes, other things are saved.
[14:20] <edbian> spankbot: I'm sure mint has some onscreen keyboard
[14:20] <edbian> Wolfsherz: have you tried syncing under a different profile?
[14:20] <lalaland1125> Ok, good enough for me.
[14:21] <spacebug-> spankbot: program named onboard installed by default gives you a virtualkeyboard. Not sure how you get it started so you can use it to log in in gdm/lightdm though
[14:21] <Wolfsherz> edbian: i did "mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla.bak to create a whole new profile. the same results.
[14:22] <edbian> Wolfsherz: mmm, strange.  I suggest asking in #firefox
[14:22] <Wolfsherz> edbian: no response from that channel yet. thank you for helping =)
[14:23] <faLUCE> Hi. I created an iso image of my os with remastersys. Unfortunately, I can boot from the live cd with this iso only if I add "nomodeset" option. Otherwise I see a black screen. In addition, after installing the OS from this livecd, booted with "nomodeset" option, I can't see the screen anymore. what's wrong?
[14:25] <BluesKaj> Wolfsherz, for what it's worth , after installing chromium on all 4 machines here, and importing the bookmarks from FF , chromium synced up perfectly on all 3 desktops and one laptop
[14:25] <MindSpark> Hello, I am trying to set up ssh without password, I've followed this guide: http://linuxproblem.org/art_9.html, but nothing's changed. Can someone tell me how to debug this issue?
[14:27] <Astronaut> can someone help me with php problem? php related rooms are dead :X
[14:27] <oCean> MindSpark: that guide seems a little bit old. So you have a local machine and a remote machine, right?
[14:27] <oCean> Astronaut: that does not really make a php problem on topic here
[14:27] <glxc> hello
[14:28] <glxc> i am on 11.10 and i want to adjust the max open files
[14:28] <glxc> i edited /etc/security/limits.conf
[14:28] <BluesKaj> MindSpark, http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2008/11/3-steps-to-perform-ssh-login-without-password-using-ssh-keygen-ssh-copy-id/
[14:28] <glxc> and the file limit went from 1024 to 4096
[14:28] <glxc> but i would like more
[14:29] <Pitel> just dd-ing the 11.10 iso image to usb, and it should boot, right?
[14:29] <dusf_> dr_willis: rm ~/.dmrc didn't help, thanks though
[14:29] <dusf_> dr_willis: do you think this problem is specific to xubuntu/xfce and i should be asking in their support channels instead?
[14:30] <n2diy> my sound notification no longer works in xchat-gnome, or Thunderbird, but it works with other apps?
[14:31] <MindSpark> oCean, yes
[14:31] <MindSpark> BluesKaj, thanks
[14:31] <glxc> does anyone have experience adjusting the number of open files?
[14:32] <somsip> glxc: what's the error message in /var/log/syslog ? I've had to do this before but can';t remember
[14:32] <BluesKaj> MindSpark, np :)
[14:33] <afrodeity> my recovery mode boots in root prompt, any ideas why?
[14:33] <afrodeity> into root promt
[14:34] <atlasair> ever since I've installed ubuntu, my battery life has halved, anything I can do to improve it?
[14:34] <Gorkyman> seems like I just cant install ubuntu or run it from usb/cd
[14:34] <MindSpark> BluesKaj, I followed that howto and I am still being asked for a password... :D
[14:34] <MindSpark> :S
[14:34] <BluesKaj> MindSpark, you probly need to relogin
[14:35] <Gorkyman> I downloaded 11.10, burned it, booted it
[14:35] <BluesKaj> on both machinces , if possible
[14:35] <glxc> somsip: no error message in /var/log/syslog
[14:35] <Gorkyman> and it gives me some no ui configuration error
[14:35] <MindSpark> BluesKaj, but doesn't ssh read the .ssh dir every time it is invoked?
[14:35] <glxc> the command causing trouble gives socket: too many open files (24)
[14:36] <Gorkyman> i have no idea what to do next
[14:36] <deej1976> !md5 | Gorkyman:
[14:36] <somsip> glxc: Change limit by editing /etc/sysctl.conf and set fs.file-max to 400000, from http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=8&ved=0CGYQFjAH&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwiki.magnolia-cms.com%2Fdisplay%2FWIKI%2FToo%2BMany%2BOpen%2BFiles&ei=Tz_WTr7VPIfprQezt827Dg&usg=AFQjCNFczKUJBvXOGyCdg4YN8hFiK1DLFA
[14:37] <somsip> glxc: though I guess that's an arbitrary number
[14:37] <MindSpark> BluesKaj, do you mean logout from local or from remote?
[14:37] <BluesKaj> MindSpark, yeah, but I've found lately that more and more reboots are required when changes to conf files are made ..dunnno why , pulseaudio install and removal is another example
[14:38] <BluesKaj> MindSpark, both
[14:38] <oCean> MindSpark: it's actually quite easy (or should be).
[14:38] <MindSpark> seriously? that was one of the beauties of linux... that it never needed to be restarted
[14:38] <oCean> MindSpark: easiest way is to start over
[14:38] <MindSpark> oCean, I actually had it running and all of a sudden it stopped two days ago
[14:38] <MindSpark> and I have no idea what happened
[14:38] <BluesKaj> MindSpark, yeah disappointing but true
[14:39] <MindSpark> BluesKaj, is this the case with other distros as well?
[14:39] <oCean> MindSpark: there's no need to restart anything after adding keys
[14:39] <BluesKaj> oCean, well , good luck with that
[14:40] <zse05> xzxzxz
[14:40] <oCean> MindSpark: if you delete your ~/.ssh directory on your remote machine, we actually only should have to use 1 command to get your auth keys to the remote machine
[14:40] <BluesKaj> MindSpark, dunno , haven't tried any others in a 2 yrs or so
[14:40] <querier> Hi. how to add / delete launcher items? (like the standard ones: software center, ubuntu one, terminal ...)
[14:40] <MindSpark> oCean, I deleted it and tried all over, but it's not working. I couldn't find any sshd log files to check in /var/log
[14:41] <theadmin> querier: Just right click and uncheck "Keep in panel"
[14:41] <theadmin> querier: If you want to add one, open the app and then right click and check that.
[14:41] <MindSpark> BluesKaj, the problem with ubuntu is that it relies on a good computer. I used to use slackware back in the days and it ran off just any configuration
[14:41] <oCean> MindSpark: hang on. Once you have deleted your ~/.ssh directory on the remote machine, all you should do is   ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub nameofremotemachine
[14:42] <oCean> MindSpark: ^if it's rsa you're using
[14:42] <saju_m> which is the best tool to convert sql to ER diagram ???
[14:42] <MindSpark> oCean, yep, that's what I did
[14:42] <oCean> MindSpark: and that ssh-copy-id command should be issues on your local machine
[14:43] <oCean> MindSpark: in that case, IP address might have changed for the remote machine?
[14:43] <MindSpark> oCean, I am using a domain name ?
[14:44] <oCean> MindSpark: sure, but the actual ip address might have changed, but in that case you would receive a warning
[14:44] <me-1> hi..how to unpack 7z..?
[14:45] <MindSpark> oCean, it's a static IP, it hasn't changed really. Do you know how I can debug this issue?
[14:45] <oCean> MindSpark: ssh -v nameofremotemachine shows debuginfo
[14:45] <querier> theadmin: thanks. but that is the gui way. I need a terminal way :)
[14:46] <theadmin> querier: Um, I beleive you may be able to do it via the dconf thing but... There's no real easy way for it
[14:46] <adnap> i recently installed oneiric. when i log in to an desktop environment with lightdm, .xinitrc does not get executed. can someone explain why?
[14:47] <n2diy>  my sound notification no longer works in xchat-gnome, or Thunderbird, but it works with other apps?
[14:49] <MindSpark> oCean, here's the output... can you help?
[14:51] <oCean> MindSpark: I'm quite busy actually, but throw it in a pastebin and others might help
[14:51] <Braden`> Where can I download old linux kernel headers?
[14:52] <MindSpark> Oh, I thought I had pasted the link. http://pastebin.com/EhD7RuUB
[14:53] <MindSpark> Braden`, kernel.org?
[14:53] <lalaland1125> What are the minimum requirements for the regular ubuntu installer?
[14:55] <theadmin> lalaland1125: 512 meters of RAM, ~6 GB disk space is the minimum, you also need an i686-compatible processor.
[14:55] <Braden`> MindSpark:  I found the kernels on kernel.org but not the headers
[14:57] <SkiOne> how can I get the latest version of java installed, when I attempted to do so it only went to .26 and the latest stable is 29.?
[14:57] <oCean> MindSpark: in a quick glance, I see that the server is not accepting. In between line 19/20 there should be something like "debug1: Server accepts key: pkalg ssh-rsa"
[14:58] <t0r> hi
[14:59] <MindSpark> Braden`, did you check the devel dirs?
[15:00] <MindSpark> oCean, I don't mean to annoy, but do you have any idea what could cause this?
[15:01] <Chat1453> hi
[15:01] <ubuntunoob> hi
[15:02] <Braden`> There is no devel folder
[15:02] <oCean> MindSpark: heh, you're not annoying, that's what this channel is for. It's just that I have other things to do. But I suspect it might be an issue with permissions, maybe something changed on the homedir for you remote machine?
[15:02] <n2diy> I think I have sound notification working, could someone send me a message?
[15:02] <MindSpark> oCean, alright, I'll check, thanks!
[15:02] <oCean> MindSpark: also, feel free to repeat the question (with link) to ask others to help you. But help is not always readily available, maybe try again later.
[15:03] <number11> does anybody know what startup script calls ureadahead  in 11.10?
[15:03] <deej1976> n2diy: BOO!
[15:03] <number11> it used to be in /etc/init.d/bootopts in 11.04
[15:03] <number11> i can't seem to find it
[15:03] <n2diy> deej1976, thanks, no joy.
[15:03] <Braden`> MindSpark:  There isn't any devel directory on kernel.org
[15:04] <theadmin> number11: grep "ureadahead" /etc/init/*
[15:04] <number11> theadmin: smart
[15:04] <number11> thanks
[15:05] <MindSpark> Braden`, my bad, maybe just download the devel package for whatever kernel you want?
[15:05] <MindSpark> linux-2.6.0-headers or something like that
[15:05] <MindSpark> search aptitude?
[15:05] <theadmin> number11: Also note that /etc/init.d/ is for old initscripts (sysvinit-based), Ubuntu currently uses upstart which's configs are stored in /etc/init/
[15:06] <dommer> Hey cool.  Well, now I guess I can ask this.  I saved a large important document on my laptop a while ago and I just opened it and it was blank.  Any reason my laptop is ruining me?
[15:06] <kamila> hey
[15:07] <BluesKaj> dommer, try opening it with permissions in the run box
[15:07] <lacrymology> synaptic keeps crashing every time I try to use the quicksearch on the toolbar
[15:08] <kuchiku> what is this file for x0-lock ?
[15:08] <kuchiku> is it a virus ?
[15:08] <number11> theadmin, i was wondering why there was a /etc/init and a /etc/init.d
[15:08] <number11> thanks
[15:08] <dommer> BluesKaj - No, I mean it. is. not. there.  what was 64 Kb is 0 Kb.
[15:08] <deej1976> !virus
[15:08] <theadmin> kuchiku: lol no, likely shows that Xorg is running on display 0... I suppose.
[15:09] <BluesKaj> dommer, in some cases if you don't have permission you'll get a blank text with 0 bits ...it's happened to me
[15:09] <hotkeys> Ubuntu anti-virus http://www.clamav.net/lang/en/
[15:09] <kuchiku> what is x0-lock ? then

[15:10] <diatomaceous> Hello everyone.  I'm curious if I should be able to start up my degraded software RAID5 (mdadm) array with the failed drive physically disconnected from the computer.
[15:10] <dommer> BluesKaj - nope, gone
[15:11] <adnap> how do i enable non-graphical boot (no lightdm) in ubuntu oneiric?
[15:11] <BluesKaj> dommer, ..bummer , any back ups on another machine?
[15:11] <theadmin> adnap: Append "text" to kernel line.
[15:12] <dommer> BluesKaj - Nope.  And, this is a fricking college thesis.  I've had to re-write it 4 damn times >:
[15:12] <adnap> theadmin: where?
[15:12] <diatomaceous> dommer - Google docs :D
[15:13] <adnap> also, why doesn't .xinitrc get executed when lightdm loads a desktop environment?
[15:13] <BluesKaj> dommer, you must have saved it , are you sure you're looking at the correct path
[15:14] <dommer> BluesKaj - Yes, in my bloody documents.  I know exactly wtf I saved it as.  I give up
[15:14] <iromli> what is upstart-udev-br? this process takes 90%+ of my CPU

[15:16] <MindSpark> oCean, just a follow up. I checked /var/log/auth.log and found that I had bad permissions for my home dir. And in fact it was set to 777, chmodded to 700 and all works!
[15:16] <esmirlin> hi guys, is there any way to install the nvidia driver por a nvidia geforce gt 520mx? i've seen on the nvidia websine there's a linux driver for this card but trying to install it on my laptop it crashes all the time  it's an hybrid one btw
[15:17] <theadmin> esmirlin: Have you tried using Jockey?
[15:17]  * conntrack eyes vdsl
[15:17] <esmirlin> yes but it doesn't find it :S

[15:18] <judh> Failed to fetch gzip:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_oneiric_multiverse_binary-i386_Packages  Hash Sum mismatch....can any one help me how could i fix it?
[15:19] <escott> diatomaceous, you should be able to
[15:19] <diatomaceous> escott: What would be the appropriate command?  In the 'disk tool', it says "not enough devices to start this array"
[15:20] <diatomaceous> escott: I'm very nervous to just run commands.. last time I did this with my big RAID6 array I accidentally 'recreated' a NEW array.. which of course destroyed all my data :(
[15:20] <judh> in ubuntu 11.10, Failed to fetch gzip:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_oneiric_multiverse_binary-i386_Packages  Hash Sum mismatch...how can i fix it any one?
[15:21] <escott> diatomaceous, how many functional disks do you have
[15:21] <judh> Failed to fetch gzip:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_oneiric_multiverse_binary-i386_Packages  Hash Sum mismatch----what could be the problem?
[15:21] <escott> judh, i would delete the indicated file in /var/lib and then try again. if it still doesnt work its likely your mirror. please dont spam the list so frequently
[15:21] <Timewarper> hey
[15:22] <Timewarper> can a 64bit ubuntu live-usb run on a pc that doesnt support 64bit architecture?
[15:22] <joel_> erm no
[15:22] <escott> Timewarper, no
[15:22] <Braden`> MindSpark:  Do I have to modify my apt sources if I do not have any devel items specified?
[15:22] <diatomaceous> escott: 2
[15:22] <Timewarper> escott, in any case? it will give errors?
[15:23] <MindSpark> Braden`, no, but I maybe you will have to add deprecated sources for older kernels that are not supported anymore, you will have to look through the ubuntu website
[15:23] <Timewarper> i want to create a bootable usb drive with ubuntu that i can boot most computers with. should i get 32bit version?
[15:23] <escott> diatomaceous, well then you dont have enough disks. standard raid5 is a 4 disk system which is resilient to 1 failure
[15:23] <joel_> mm
[15:23] <joel_> depends
[15:23] <escott> Timewarper, it wont boot
[15:23] <diatomaceous> escott: You can do RAID5 with 3
[15:23] <diatomaceous> I had it happily running for a long time
[15:23] <Timewarper> escott, so if i want to boot in all computers, i need the 32bit version?
[15:25] <joel_> Timewarper, different architecture, it wont boot
[15:25] <MonkeyDust> Timewarper  to make sure: ys
[15:25] <MonkeyDust> yes*
[15:26] <sina2> i want help in mounting ntfs drives in startup automatically?
[15:27] <escott> diatomaceous, check mdadm --status or /proc/mdstat.
[15:27] <oCean> MindSpark: good to hear :)
[15:27] <Timewarper> does anyone know how latest gnome compare to kde resource-wise?
[15:28] <escott> !fstab | sina2 you will have to add them to the fstab, but be sure to use the ntfs-3g driver
[15:29] <theadmin> Timewarper: About the same...
[15:29] <escott> diatomaceous, if you created it as a 3 disk array and are only down one disk you should be able to start it in degraded mode
[15:29] <gskhl> !list
[15:29] <diatomaceous> escott: Thanks, that's what I thought - But I don't know how.
[15:30] <theadmin> sina2: An example fstab line looks like this: /dev/sda1 /media/ntfsdrive ntfs-3g defaults 0 0
[15:31] <three18ti__> how do I get openssh to start on my desktop before I log in?
[15:32] <lighta> !pureftp
[15:32] <escott> diatomaceous, it should just be an mdadm --assemble --run command to get the array started
[15:32] <lighta> !ftp

[15:34] <faLUCE> Hi. I created an iso image of my os with remastersys. Unfortunately, I can boot from the live cd with this iso only if I add "nomodeset" option. Otherwise I see a black screen. In addition, after installing the OS from this livecd, booted with "nomodeset" option, I can't see the screen anymore. what's wrong?
[15:36] <tyrael2210> if i write rdesktop -A -s "path" i have a correct remote connection, but the -s option is completely ignored. can anyone help me?
[15:36] <steffen-> hello :) i'm looking for an easy-to-use webinterface to configure samba shares ..
[15:36] <steffen-> it's for my technically impaired english teacher :)
[15:37] <steffen-> he just needs a way to add some folders and decide which user can access which folder
[15:37] <BluesKaj> !samba | steffen-
[15:38] <BluesKaj> steffen-, Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. ,...is the operative word there
[15:38] <steffen-> yeah, i've seen that one already
[15:38] <tyrael2210> !rdesktop | tyrael2210
[15:38] <steffen-> but i guess its still too complicated :(
[15:39] <steffen-> i'm looking for something similar to whs
[15:39] <darkstar> ive got the weirdest problem... when booting on my hp laptop, there's no light
[15:39] <three18ti__> sorry, got distracted, did someone answer me: how do I get ssh-server to start before a user logs in to the desktop?  It's an ubuntu 11.10 desktop install, which I apt-get installed openssh-server.
[15:40] <darkstar> i need a lamp to see things...
[15:41] <Phr3d13> darkstar: do your function keys work?
[15:42] <BluesKaj> three18ti__, the sshserver should start at login or before
[15:42] <truefx> how can i move a window without pressing Alt Key ? i just wanna do it only using mouse
[15:42] <darkstar> no, Phr3d13 i tried with adding something in rc.local and grub but with no luck
[15:42] <auronandace> truefx: grab it by the title
[15:43] <coz_> truefx,   should be able to simply left click hold on the title bar...yes?
[15:43] <tyrael2210> how can i do a rdp connection in single application mode?
[15:43] <darkstar> also, the only way i can run it is using i915.modeset=0
[15:43] <escott> darkstar, its possible the kernel isn't recognizing the backlight. you can check this by running find /sys/ -iname backlight
[15:43] <sina2> this is my hard details

[15:44] <Braden`> If I am using virtualization (e.g. Ubuntu is a guest os), is it safe to upgrade the kernel from 2.6.18 to 3.0.0 ?
[15:44] <truefx> coz_, i dont have titlebars menubars and borders
[15:44] <escott> Braden`, why would it not be? you might need to update the guest additions if you have those installed
[15:44] <Phr3d13> !nomodeset
[15:44] <truefx> coz_, just content
[15:45] <M4d3L1> is it normal to have a server without swap?
[15:45] <sina2> please help me
[15:45] <Anomie21> I've added network drives via File -> Connect to server but I can't access them outside of the unity file browser (ie; I cant see the folders when I'm attaching files in a email) any fix to this?
[15:45] <sina2> this is what i see http://paste.ubuntu.com/755010/
[15:45] <garloc> firefox its 35% of RAM (512)....its normal??
[15:45] <sina2> i have 2 ntfs drives
[15:45] <darkstar> escott, Phr3d13 : this is a hybrid system... i added "setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.b=00" to rc.local
[15:46] <sina2> now what can i do to add them to mount in startup?
[15:46] <three18ti__> BluesKaj, it starts at or after login, I want it to start before, similar to ubuntu server (i.e. you don't have to login before ssh starts) could I maybe change the run levels?
[15:46] <auronandace> !fstab | sina2
[15:47] <darkstar> also, i added acpi_osi=linux in grub... and nothing
[15:47] <sina2> i'm sick and tired and really confused, why u don't help me directly
[15:47] <darkstar> the funny thing is that its able to gnome-shell, where any modeset option cant
[15:47] <darkstar> without light ofc...
[15:48] <escott> darkstar, you will want to run sudo blkid it will spit out /dev/sda5 blah-blah-blah-blah the blah's are the uuid for that disk. you then want to add a line to /etc/fstab which says "uuid=blah-blah-blah /media/ntfs1 ntfs-3g mount_options 0 0"
[15:48] <Timewarper> anyone knows/ has an article on how kde compares to ubuntu 2, regarding resource use (ram, cpu etc) ?
[15:48] <escott> darkstar, sorry that was for sina32
[15:48] <oCean> sina2: we're all volunteers here, better have some patience
[15:48] <Braden`> escott:  Its OpenVZ
[15:48] <escott> sina2, you will want to run sudo blkid it will spit out /dev/sda5 blah-blah-blah-blah the blah's are the uuid for that disk. you then want to add a line to /etc/fstab which says "uuid=blah-blah-blah /media/ntfs1 ntfs-3g mount_options 0 0"
[15:48] <sina2> this is my fstan http://paste.ubuntu.com/755014/
[15:48] <BluesKaj> three18ti__,  perhaps the runlevel change might do it, not sure. I've  never had any reason to change the sequence
[15:49] <sina2> now what must i add to this fstab?
[15:50] <Braden`> If I want to update the kernel, and I am in a virtual environment (e.g. OpenVZ), which apt-get install item do I use?
[15:50] <Braden`> linux-image-virtual ?
[15:50] <auronandace> sina2: where do you want to mount them?
[15:51] <ania_> bye
[15:51] <msshams> how can i find that port 1723 is open on my server and i can connect to this port from external computers?
[15:51] <darkstar> escott, you gave me an idea...
[15:51] <dweez> I just had my ubuntu 11.10 reboot after I unlocked the screen.  Which of the files in /var/log/ would I look at to find the reason why?
[15:51] <escott> Braden`, you should use the same one as you currently have installed
[15:52] <Braden`> escott:  You mean don't upgrade?
[15:52] <Braden`> err
[15:52] <Braden`> How do I find ou which one I have installed?
[15:52] <dweez> I usually get kernel updates via sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[15:52] <escott> Braden`, no the same package name but updated version. you can check with dpkg -l "*linux*"
[15:52] <darkstar> what if use acpi_osi=windows 2006 instead of linux, escott ?
[15:52] <dweez> won't uname -a show the kernel?
[15:52] <Timewarper> do all modern computers support  64bit architecture?
[15:53] <dweez> Timewarper, I'm going to go out on a limb and say yes...but to be sure, you can look up your processor and check if it supports it or not
[15:53] <recon69_lap> hi all, anyone getting a blank window after opening software center
[15:53] <escott> darkstar, its worth a try. it is certainly something acpi related. what exactly I dont know. you said this was a hybrid so you might want to look into vgaswitcheroo or bumblebee as well
[15:54] <Timewarper> dweez i want to create a usb stick with ubuntu on it which i can use on most computers i run accross
[15:54] <darkstar> i was using acpi_call but it only disables ati card
[15:54] <Timewarper> thats why i think about that
[15:54] <recon69_lap> Timewarper: computers with a 64 bit bus have a 64 bit architecture
[15:54] <dpb_> Timewarper: do cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "model name" and post one of the lines that comes back
[15:54] <darkstar> vgaswitcheroo can switch both on/off escott ?
[15:54] <Timewarper> my computer supports 64bit. but i want a generic usb drive to use on most machines
[15:54] <escott> darkstar, that is the goal of the project
[15:54] <dweez> Timewarper, then 64bit will work for probably 98% of the computers you come accross
[15:55] <auronandace> dweez: based on what?
[15:55] <darkstar> escott, thanks... can i get a link to the project please?
[15:55] <dpb_> Timewarper: ah, 32-bit would be way more universal, but yes most "modern" systems now are 64-bit capable
[15:55] <dweez> based on his initial proviso of..."modern computers"
[15:55] <auronandace> dweez: how do you know what he will come across, what environments he intends to use it in?
[15:55] <MonkeyDust> Timewarper  use MultiSystem to put more than one .iso on your usb stick, from which you can choose -- i tried it, it has a menu http://www.pendrivelinux.com/multiboot-create-a-multiboot-usb-from-linux/
[15:56] <dweez> aureianimus, cuz he said "modern computers"
[15:56] <recon69_lap> anyone getting a blank window after opening software center, and know how to fix it
[15:56] <dweez> which I interpreted as 2-3 years or newer
[15:56] <truefx> anyway to move windows without Alt key just mouse ?
[15:56] <aureianimus> dweez, you need auro before you can tab-complete :)
[15:57] <dweez> where did I tab-fail?
 aureianimus, cuz he said "modern computers"
[15:57] <dweez> Oooo, mah bad
[15:57] <escott> darkstar, just google for vgaswitcheroo or bumblebee one is ati the other is nvidia cant remember which is which
[15:57] <auronandace> dweez: i wouldn't guess as high as 98%
[15:57] <dweez> I would
[15:58] <dweez> and I'd be right
[15:58] <darkstar> escott: ok,thanks!
[15:58] <dweez> no computer manufacturer is selling 32bit hardware now
[15:58] <dweez> nor have they for probably 4 years
[15:58] <dweez> but, that's off-topic sooo.../me shuts up about it
[15:58] <theadmin> dweez: Um, netbooks are still mostly 32-bit, same for phones
[15:59] <dweez> we're talking computers here
[15:59] <sir_tyrion> I have very slow speeds at times with my b43 wireless driver, anyone can help?
[15:59] <dweez> not computing devices
[15:59] <theadmin> dweez: netbooks are computers.
[15:59] <sir_tyrion> is there a different channel for that stuff
[15:59] <craigbass1976> I've got two identical boxes (hardware), with what I thought were identical setups (software).  What's the best way to go about figuring out what the differences are?  Will it be possible to make them the same, or easier to just wipe and reinstall?
[16:00] <escott> !clone | craigbass1976
[16:00] <dweez> theadmin, we can argue the semantics of it over in -offtopic if you want
[16:00] <recon69_lap> sir_tyrion: are you sure it's the driver and not your service
[16:00] <theadmin> dweez: I don't, but please try to realise that 32-bit is still a very popular and required architecture.
[16:00] <ensi> hi
[16:00] <dweez> in contect to Timewarper's question, I still believe my statement is true though
[16:00] <recon69_lap> o/ ensi
[16:00] <ensi> how to fix or get rid of a broken package?
[16:01] <Timewarper> dweez also i think of now that: maybe most recent cpus support 64bit, but to run 64bit effectively you need a lot of ram too. many modern computers have 2gb ram
[16:01] <dweez> Ram is not a requirement to run 64bit
[16:01] <sir_tyrion> recon69_lap, if I go to a speedtest site I get normal speeds, but if I open a new webpage, the speed is like 5 kb/s and it takes a while to load
[16:01] <dweez> 64bit just allows more memory addressing
[16:01] <Timewarper> dweez yeah but it needs more ram to run effectively
[16:01] <Timewarper> doesnt it?
[16:02] <dweez> nope
[16:02] <theadmin> dweez: What (s)he means is "64-bit is basically useless with <4 GB RAM"
[16:02] <recon69_lap> ok, it could be that web site, is it the same for all sir_tyrion:
[16:02] <Timewarper> dweez another question: lets say my system supports 64bit. If i install 64bit ubuntu will i have double the cpu speed than if i had  32bit ubuntu?
[16:02] <dweez> theadmin, I disagree with that statement too
[16:03] <dweez> Timewarper, not at all
[16:03] <theadmin> Timewarper: No, and that makes no sense
[16:03] <Timewarper> someone told me that you can do double the calculations in the same amount of time with 64bit
[16:03] <theadmin> Timewarper: Mostly it's just more RAM support and a couple new instructions
[16:03] <osse> I'm experimenting with bitmap fonts in gnome-terminal. I've managed to make a bitmap font in ~/.fonts be available through Edit -> Profile preferences. When I select it I'm still allowed to choose a font size? Does it matter? If so, what should I choose, given that bitmap font sizes usually are expressed as a x b, e.g. 6x13?
[16:03] <Timewarper> hence you do some things in half the time
[16:03] <ensi> how to get rid of package?
[16:03] <sir_tyrion> recon69_lap, it is sites like wikipedia.org, the graphics take a while to load
[16:03] <dweez> and more efficient use of the instructions
[16:04] <escott> Timewarper, no. some applications can perform better because there are more registers and some additional vector instructions
[16:04] <Timewarper> escott, does better come anywhere near double the performance?
[16:04] <dweez> Timewarper, I'm a gonna say no
[16:05] <Timewarper> ok then
[16:05] <escott> Timewarper, no
[16:05] <Timewarper> i just had the impression that 64bit enabled a 64bit computer to run 64bit apps crazy faster
[16:05] <dweez> this might help you with your dilema.  64bit hardware will support 32bit OS but not the other way around
[16:06] <escott> Timewarper, you cannot run a 64bit application on a non-64bit system
[16:06] <magicgerbil> hi
[16:06] <Timewarper> dweez yeah i know that.
[16:06] <republic> good evening everyone
[16:06] <Timewarper> escott, yeah i know.
[16:06] <dweez> ensi, read this thread and see if it helps ==> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=947124
[16:06] <ensi> dweez: ok
[16:06] <dweez> Timewarper, and for the normal user, improvements from 64bit will probably not be noticed
[16:07] <recon69_lap> Timewarper: 64bit gives you more memory and more accurate floating point math, the newer multi core processor likely to give the main incress
[16:07] <dweez> Personally, if the hw supports 64bit, that's what I'm putting on it
[16:07] <dpb_> another thought to consider: 64-bit installs typically take up more room.
[16:07] <escott> Timewarper, if you are computing with 64 integers (which never happens outside of mathematics) then a 64bit processor could do that "twice as fast" as a 32bit processor
[16:07] <Timewarper> recon69_lap, does the floating point math, make calculations faster? thus enabling 64bit apps to do things faster?
[16:08] <Timewarper> escott, yes that what i meant
[16:08] <Timewarper> eor a 64bit processor with 32bit os
[16:08] <alexcheninfo> alexcheninfo
[16:08] <Timewarper> escott, i had the impression that when working with 64bit apps on 64bit system those apps run twice as fast from their 32bit counterparts
[16:09] <recon69_lap> Timewarper, yep, 3d apps benefit a lot from 64 bit
[16:09] <Timewarper> only 3d?
[16:10] <recon69_lap> Timewarper: anything that does a lot of floating point math,
[16:11] <dweez> Every app will see some performance increase (albeit most very minor) just because the 64bit OS is more efficient than most 32bit OS' but an app written for 64bit will see (should see) a very noticeable increase
[16:11] <oCean> Timewarper, dweez this channel is not for general discussion. If you want to continue, please choose #ubuntu-offtopic or ##hardware
[16:11] <dweez> although, outside of number-crunching as escott said, I doubt you'll see a 2:1 increase
[16:11] <escott> recon69_lap, i didnt think amd64 made any changes to the fpu at all
[16:11] <dweez> ok, sorry
[16:11] <sir_tyrion> I changed my resolv.conf to use google dns and it is much faster
[16:11] <oCean> dweez: no problem
[16:13] <recon69_lap> escott: at the most basic a 64bit machine can get 64bit int in one clock cycle, it takes 2 in a 32 system
[16:14] <Guest49119> hi all, i have a curious problem that's been going on for about a couple of months now and it's getting annoying. at random, these tiny windows will appear at login and cannot be closed except by xkill and clicking the window. once it's killed (say for instance, guake) it cannot be restarted. anybody have any ideas as to what this is or how to fix it?
[16:14] <escott> recon69_lap, you were saying the floating point was better. except for having more registers and the new vector ops, what has changed in the fpu?
[16:15] <Guest49119> http://picpaste.com/Workspace_1_018-Cn2lGrfG.jpeg http://picpaste.com/Workspace_1_020-M76RnPJp.jpeg http://picpaste.com/Workspace_1_021-lq7pEKP7.jpeg

[16:15] <dweez> I just had my ubuntu 11.10 reboot after I unlocked the screen.  Which of the files in /var/log/ would I look at to find the reason why?  I've also came back into work before to see that it has magically rebooted.
[16:15] <recon69_lap> escott, maybe faster would have been a better than saying 'better'
[16:16] <ensi> dweez: got it thanks
[16:16] <dweez> ensi, good deal
[16:16] <dweez> broken packages can be a pain
[16:16] <recon69_lap> dweez , dmesg
[16:17] <ensi> dweez: very much so
[16:17] <dweez> recon69_lap, thanks
[16:18] <ztane> is there a way to configure unity to show titlebars when maximized / is there any way to run old gnome easily in oneiric
[16:18] <recon69_lap> escott: not sure, but think that 64bit machines will give more accurate answers that the same calculation on a 32bit, so some apps have to be careful when coded that they account for the possibility
[16:18] <auronandace> !gnome2 | ztane
[16:19] <Gorkyman> added ubuntu 11.10 on usb stick... booting... error: cannot mount /dev/loop1 on /cow... any help? :)
[16:19] <ztane> !notunity
[16:19] <ztane> auronandace: thanks :D
[16:19] <auronandace> ztane: i'd recomend xfce instead
[16:20] <ztane> auronandace: not really needed, only vmware fusion on ubuntu does not like unity
[16:20] <escott> recon69_lap, a double is still a double. there arent any changes to what a floating point is or how it is calculated. i think the performance you see in 3d applications is related to the registers and the vector ops
[16:20] <Gorkyman> whats the best usb creator that wouldnt give me that error ?
[16:20] <ztane> maximized windows are missing the titlebar when in...
[16:21] <johnnyzero> How long does it take for the Ubuntu team or someone to respond to a bug?
[16:21] <dweez> Gorkyman, did you make the usb drive bootable first?
[16:21] <ztane> so called vmware "unity" mode
[16:21] <Gorkyman> dweez: yeah
[16:21] <auronandace> ztane: i've never used vmware (virtualbox is more my style, and i think unity works in vbox)
[16:22] <johnnyzero> I guess sometimes they don't respond to bugs and the bugs aren't fixable.
[16:22] <janith> Guys, I need a simple network traffic monitor on notification area.I had one in 10.10. I could't find it for 11.04
[16:23] <Gorkyman> ugh... can't boot from cd, can't boot from usb
[16:23] <Gorkyman> freaking great
[16:23] <ubuntunoob> hm
[16:23] <escott> Gorkyman, did you check the md5sums of your iso
[16:23] <Rangerboy> Gorkyman: set you boot device priority (CD/USB) before HDD
[16:24] <Gorkyman> Rangerboy: I did, same thing
[16:24] <johnnyzero> Would it help to include information about how the device that I have that doesn't work on Ubuntu will be recognized on a Fedora live boot?
[16:24] <Rangerboy> Gorkyman: have you tried Unetbootin?
[16:25] <johnnyzero> I already included information about how the device works on Ubuntu 10.10 and 11.04. Basically some people told me I was pretty much out of luck until 12.04 as 12.04 aims to get rid of loads of bugs.
[16:25] <Gorkyman> escott: whats the correct checksum?
[16:25] <escott> !md5sum | Gorkyman
[16:25] <johnnyzero> hmm
[16:25] <johnnyzero> !bugs
[16:26] <johnnyzero> and thats exactly what I did and nobody responded
[16:26] <auronandace> johnnyzero: how long ago was this?
[16:26] <ztane> auronandace: the vmware fusion unity mode shows each linux window separately on os x desktop
[16:27] <Gorkyman> escott: checksum is ok
[16:27] <kinsk> i
[16:27] <kinsk> hi.
[16:27] <auronandace> ztane: virtualbox has something similar: seamless mode
[16:27] <ztane> hmm
[16:27] <johnnyzero> The bug was filed on November 5th
[16:27] <johnnyzero> Almost a month ago
[16:27] <Gorkyman> can I even run ubuntu64 on intel cpu?
[16:27] <johnnyzero> How long does it usually take?
[16:27] <llutz> Gorkyman: if it is 64bit capable, yes
[16:27] <deej1976> Gorkyman: If you have a 64bit chip
[16:28] <johnnyzero> Because if it takes 5 months 12.04 will be out anyways.
[16:28] <kinsk> I've tried to dual boot ubuntu with windows 7 64bit already installed but when I get to the install menu, ubuntu doesn't detect the windows installation and there is no "dual boot ubuntu with existing windows partition" option. It says something like "No operating system found" and shows my hdd as free space. Anyone had this issue ?
[16:28] <Gorkyman> of course... so next thing... Unetbootin... I think I used that one yeah
[16:29] <llutz> Gorkyman: for 11.10 just use "sudo cat ubuntu.iso >/dev/sdX" where /dev/sdX is your usb-thumbdrive
[16:29] <johnnyzero> Also auronandace it seems that since not everyone has this issue and only one other person did, it doesn't seem like this bug will likely be taken care of anytime soon
[16:29] <republic> gorkyman, maxim gorky?
[16:29] <escott> Gorkyman, both the cd and usb fail the loop mount?
[16:29] <Gorkyman> escott: no, with cs there is no ui configuration error
[16:29] <Gorkyman> cd*
[16:29] <Gorkyman> with usb: can not mount loop1
[16:29] <auronandace> johnnyzero: what was your bug by the way?
[16:30] <johnnyzero> auronandace, https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/886449 its a bug in Alsa/pulseaudio
[16:30] <escott> !alternate | Gorkyman try the alternate installer
[16:30] <johnnyzero> The pulseaudio people claim it has nothing to do with them
[16:30] <johnnyzero> and that its all alsa
[16:31] <MeQuerSat> For the file /etc/network/interfaces, do I need a line like "iface wlan0 inet manual" to get wlan0 up ?
[16:31] <Gorkyman> escott: can I run the gui from alternate?
[16:32] <llutz> Gorkyman: you can't
[16:33] <Gorkyman> bah I never thought trying ubuntu will be a nightmare
[16:33] <ubuntunoob> unlucky :D
[16:34]  * dr_willis recalls the nightmares hes had with windows..
[16:34] <auronandace> johnnyzero: i see, sorry i can't help, my cam is builtin and works fine (t510) (that doesn't help you though)
[16:34] <shanky_lappy> i'm having troubles with firmware issues with my wifi adapter
[16:34] <escott> Gorkyman, these sound like burn errors so i would double check the md5sum of the disk that was actually burned
[16:34] <johnnyzero> Hmm would this be a good idea?  Maybe I should install Debian, compile Alsa from scratch as well as pulseaudio and then upgrade to Lubuntu? Would that be a solution?
[16:34] <Gorkyman> escott: I checked the iso, checksum is good...
[16:34] <dr_willis> Gorkyman:  when you install from the alternative cd.. you will have a full gui desktop. its just the installer thats text based
[16:35] <dr_willis> Gorkyman:  check the md5sum of the actual burnt cd also.
[16:35] <auronandace> johnnyzero: you don't upgrade debian to ubuntu
[16:35] <johnnyzero> oh
[16:35] <Gorkyman> dr_willis: usb doesnt work either
[16:35] <vishwas> After installing ubuntu I couldnt find my boot menu (Switching between different OS)
[16:35] <auronandace> johnnyzero: never mix repos
[16:35] <johnnyzero> Well I do have more bugs to report
[16:35] <johnnyzero> One is with Archive Manager
[16:35] <dr_willis> !dosentwork
[16:35] <root> ls
[16:35] <dr_willis> !doesntwork
[16:35] <johnnyzero> and the other is with when the system checks for errors
[16:36] <johnnyzero> Here is the problems
[16:36] <escott> Gorkyman, of what you downloaded or what you actually burned?
[16:36] <johnnyzero> When you open Archive Manager and touch a file, the cursor changes to a plus sign and everything freezes
[16:36] <Gorkyman> dr_willis: cannot mount /dev/loop1 on /cow.
[16:36] <johnnyzero> Also
[16:36] <johnnyzero> If you shut down the PC incorrectly, Ubuntu stops working.
[16:37] <johnnyzero> It doesn't see the /tmp directory
[16:37] <johnnyzero> upon startup
[16:37] <Gorkyman> escott: I checked the sum on the img that was burned... I can check the cd also though
[16:37] <johnnyzero> and it will crash every time it boots
[16:37] <Pici> johnnyzero: Please don't use enter as punctuation. 2) this channel is not a replacement for filing bugs
[16:37] <oCean> johnnyzero: are you aware that this is not the correct place to report bugs?
[16:37] <escott> Gorkyman, i would check the cd as well
[16:38] <dr_willis> cant say that ive seen that issue johnnyzero . I definatly shut this pc down incorrectly several times last night when the power went out.
[16:39] <janith> Guys, I need a simple traffic monitor
[16:39] <johnnyzero> Pici, in otherwords you could have just said you're going to zero in on my punctuation and not help
[16:39] <UnderSampled> this is interesting
[16:39] <dr_willis> janith:  like gkrellm or conky?
[16:39] <UnderSampled> I bet you didn't know that "ubuntu" was so synonymous with "linux"
[16:39] <UnderSampled> ubuntu, linux
[16:39] <Gorkyman> escott: checked. its good
[16:40] <UnderSampled> http://www.google.com/trends?q=ubuntu%2C+linux&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all&sort=0
[16:40] <johnnyzero> oCean, I figured maybe someone in here would be able to help somewhat. But I guess not. Seems that if you have the misfortune of Ubuntu not working, people will say "Oh well, it works for me. Too bad for you."
[16:40] <ThinkT510> johnnyzero: using enter as punctuation makes things harder to follow in a busy channel
[16:41] <dr_willis> check existing bug reports. see if the issues have been reported by others. and any fix's are in the works.
[16:41] <oCean> johnnyzero: no, that's not what I meant. We have specific environment for bug reporting and handling. This channel focusses on tech assistence. A bug is something we cannot fix here
[16:41] <dr_willis> !bugs
[16:42] <johnnyzero> And what happens if Mark and his team doesn't care to fix the bug or even respond?
[16:42] <dr_willis> what happens if no one else can recreate your bug...
[16:43] <dr_willis> then again a fix may allready be  getting worked on..  check the bug reports and see.
[16:45] <johnnyzero> Some people said I should provide as much information as I can and test the Cam/Mic out on a good amount of Linux derivatives and report my findings in the bug report. Can't see how that will help though.
[16:46] <johnnyzero> Fedora and Ubuntu for example are different distributions. I can't see how providing information about it working on Fedora would help the Ubuntu team.
[16:46] <recon69_lap> anyone getting a blank window when opening software center
[16:46] <vishwas> HELP please. I cant go into windows After installing Ubuntu
[16:46] <recon69_lap> vishwas: sounds bad, did you partition your drive correctly
[16:47] <vishwas> I did it properly. I can see all those drives in Ubuntu
[16:47] <dr_willis> vishwas:  by go into iwndows.. you mean boot to windows? you see a windows entry on the grub menu? you see your windows drive in the file manager?
[16:47] <dr_willis> what happens when you do try to boot into windows.
[16:48] <vishwas> I see windows in grub menu. When i press enter on it, doesnt load.
[16:48] <dr_willis> what does it do exactly..
[16:48] <dr_willis> any animations/messages?
[16:48] <Gorkyman> ok so lets try booting from alternate... do I need any special instruction for getting into desktop ?
[16:49] <dr_willis> Gorkyman:  the alternative cd - boots straight to a text based installer.
[16:49] <recon69_lap> johnnyzero: it would show that the device already has working linux drivers and that the device itself works
[16:49] <dr_willis> Gorkyman:  you get to the desktop after  you install, then reboot the machine
[16:49] <vishwas> Gets stuck. Nothing happens
[16:49] <Gorkyman> dr_willis: do I need to install or can I run from usb ?
[16:49] <ThinkT510> recon69_lap: he left
[16:49] <dr_willis> Gorkyman:  the alterative installer DOES just an Install...
[16:49] <dr_willis> Gorkyman:  you can put it on cd, or usb and install from either i belive.
[16:50] <Gorkyman> dr_willis: ok... do I need to create a free partition on my disk for installation? :)
[16:50] <dr_willis> its good for problematic hardware, or low end systems
[16:50] <dr_willis> Gorkyman:  you can repartion beforhand, or let the installer do it.
[16:50] <dr_willis> I always repartion with a gparted live cd beforhand.
[16:51] <Gorkyman> I dont know how my hardware could be problematic... intel quadcore6600, nvidia 8800...
[16:52] <dr_willis> im not even sure what your original problem is/was Gorkyman .
[16:52] <Gorkyman> dr_willis: cannot mount /dev/loop1 on /cow.
[16:52] <Gorkyman> when booting it from usb
[16:52] <dr_willis> try some of the other tools at pendrivelinux to make the usb.
[16:52] <Gorkyman> and I used unetbootin
[16:52] <chrislabeard> Hi guys, I'm trying to do some backups using rsync is there a way to get around it asking for a password?
[16:52] <dr_willis> ive had usb drives not work  right with some machines. but do work with others..
[16:52] <chrislabeard> I'm trying to use automator to run it every hour
[16:53] <escott> chrislabeard, assuming you are using rsync over ssh you can set up an authorized_keys file
[16:53] <Gorkyman> dr_willis: how much space should I preserve across rebots when installing iso to usb?
[16:53] <chrislabeard> escott: I'm just using the standard way of setting it up locally
[16:53] <chrislabeard> escott: i'm not sure what its called but its not ssh
[16:54] <Guest97529> e tu
[16:54] <ddilinger> i was thinking about initializing my /etc directory as a git repository.  Anyone know where i might find a list of 'dynamic' files in /etc that will change on their own and shouldn't be stored?

[17:07] <conntrack> Is anyone using vdsl?
[17:07] <ok_wait> hi all, i have a curious problem that's been going on for about a couple of months now and it's getting annoying. at random, these tiny windows will appear at login and cannot be closed except by xkill and clicking the window. once it's killed (say for instance, guake) it cannot be restarted unless i log out and back in. anybody have any ideas as to what this is or how to fix it?
[17:07] <llutz> !anyone | conntrack
[17:07] <FreeWilly> llutz: thanks
[17:07] <briancj> .
[17:08] <ok_wait> here are some screenshots   http://picpaste.com/Workspace_1_022-bqZWQdI3.jpeg http://picpaste.com/Workspace_1_018-Cn2lGrfG.jpeg http://picpaste.com/Workspace_1_020-M76RnPJp.jpeg http://picpaste.com/Workspace_1_021-lq7pEKP7.jpeg
[17:09] <BarkingFish> looks like some sort of widget from where I'm sitting, couldn't be certain though
[17:09] <conntrack> If I buy a vdsl modem can I use it with my existing firewall and will pppoe will work?
[17:09] <user82> Hi. is there any detailed page on how to use "ssh -X". i would be interested in detaching and re-attaching a gui program
[17:09] <ok_wait> but they're all different at each login
[17:09] <ok_wait> some logins don't have one too
[17:10] <BarkingFish> conntrack: That entirely depends on what your existing firewall is, and since we don't know your network or settings, it's kinda difficult to say whether anything will work
[17:10] <escott> user82, you have to run an xserver inside an instance of screen on the remote system. something like xnest
[17:11] <dr_willis> user82:  as far as i know. thats not possible. there used to be some X detatch/reatach trick/app years ago.. but it dident work well.. VNC or xnest, or freenx may work better for you
[17:11] <kantlivelong> can anyone here recommend a good vnc client w/o the stupid connection gui?
[17:11] <dr_willis> theres dozens of vnc servers and clients out there..
[17:11] <theadmin> kantlivelong: vncviewer?
[17:11] <dr_willis> some take command line options..
[17:11] <user82> ok thanks...
[17:11] <conntrack> I currently have an adsl modem and firewall. I want to use vdsl modem and the same firewall and wonder if it will work
[17:12] <kantlivelong> theadmin: anything better? vncviewer always seems slow
[17:12] <escott> !vnc | kantlivelong
[17:12] <kantlivelong> even for vnc i seems slow
[17:12] <conntrack> BarkingFish: I see what you are saying
[17:12] <theadmin> kantlivelong: Hm well I'm not into vnc... I mostly just use TeamViewer
[17:12] <llutz> conntrack: "firewall" is a concept so what is that you call "firewall"? an appliance, just some software, what?
[17:12] <kantlivelong> ach tbv
[17:12] <kantlivelong> tv*
[17:13] <conntrack> BarkingFish: An appliance
[17:13] <BarkingFish> conntrack: it physically depends on a whole lot of things - like what firewall, which vdsl modem you're getting, whether your network supports PPPOE, a lot of stuff makes a difference.
[17:13] <llutz> conntrack: why shouldn't it work? technically adsl/vdsl won't make a big difference, iirc
[17:14] <nimbiotics> Hello evry1. Since installing 11.10 I haven't been able to use devede anymore; it just freezes after 1st pass w/o any warnings. Is there a known bug? TIA!
[17:14] <conntrack> BarkingFish: I think it will work
[17:14] <ok_wait> i will try a dist-upgrade. should i upgrade first?
[17:14] <conntrack> BarkingFish: There is limited information
[17:14] <BarkingFish> ok, well the best way to find out if it will work is to try it out. If it works, no problem :)
[17:14] <escott> !dvd | nimbiotics, you might want to try reinstalling libdvdcss. be sure to rerun the script in /var/lib/libdvdcss

[17:16] <conntrack> BarkingFish: I'm worried that pppoe need to be over a vlan
[17:16] <nimbiotics> escott; thx. will do
[17:16] <conntrack> BarkingFish: But I suppose that modem should handle that vlan side
[17:17] <luist> can anyone help me to make a debmirror (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Debmirror) im having problems making the gpg keys part. i dont have any of the files specified!
[17:18] <chaospsychex> anybody in here using an open-source BIOS on their system ?
[17:18] <escott> vafied, Xorg is drawing on behalf of some other program, its often flash player plugin that misbehaves
[17:18] <BarkingFish> !anybody | chaospsychex
[17:18] <recon69_lap> l1nuxman: have you checked for simpler solutions, hard to know how to help with the info you give. maybe the card make model, the version of ubuntu you using and probably lots of other info
[17:19] <vafied> escott: thank you i just killed npviewer and all is better
[17:19] <UnknownFrequency> Does anyone know how I can create a bootable windows XP cd or usb? I have the original WinXp SP3 .iso file from the windows hopepage. I have tried all day
[17:19] <theadmin> UnknownFrequency: It's offtopic here, but I know. Please pm me
[17:19] <chaospsychex> BarkingFish: i asked the question, is anyone using an open-source BIOS

[17:20] <escott> chaospsychex, thats not the point. if i said "yes" what would you say next?
[17:20] <ThinkT510> chaospsychex: and if someone says yes your next question (the real one) would be...
[17:21] <JackFolla> http://tinyurl.com/6lbj8vf

[17:31] <oCean> JackFolla: sure
[17:31] <KrisDouglas> FreeWilly, It means samba is already running.
[17:31] <KrisDouglas> FreeWilly, additionally, the configuration file seems botched.
[17:31] <escott> FreeWilly, there are a number of things going on here. there is a typo in your config file. you might want to look into using SWAT to generate the config. you also have a stale pid file in /var/run/samba/smbd.pid. you should check if smdb is running with ps aux | grep smdb and if it isn't remove that pid file. how are you starting and stopping the server?
[17:32] <escott> !samba | FreeWilly
[17:32] <FreeWilly> well yes when running it dont get am bsod
[17:33] <FreeWilly> http://paste.ubuntu.com/755142/
[17:33] <FreeWilly> my config file
[17:33] <KrisDouglas> FreeWilly, a BSoD is a windows error message.
[17:33] <FreeWilly> i know
[17:33] <FreeWilly> trying to make joke
[17:33] <FreeWilly> it failed
[17:33] <FreeWilly> is start with sudo smbd start/stop
[17:33] <FreeWilly> and stop
[17:34] <escott> !enter | FreeWilly
[17:34] <FreeWilly> running ps aux i can see smdb there
[17:34] <FreeWilly> only one line tho
[17:34] <CarlFK> FreeWilly: I think the: should be a /  interfaces = 127.0.0.1:8 192.168.1.105/24
[17:36] <CarlFK> FreeWilly: for starting/stopping, you should probably use "sudo service samba start" (I think samba.. kinda guessing)
[17:36] <escott> FreeWilly, when you ps aux | grep something you always see something because you see the "grep something" process. if you don't see a something process without grep then smbd is not running and you can likely safely remove that pid file
[17:36] <llutz> FreeWilly: and remove lines containing the dots, 342/343
[17:36] <recon69_lap> l1nuxman: have you tried just creating the missing file 40-usb_modeswitch.rules.
[17:36] <l1nuxman> recon69_lap, I installed usb modeswitch and it created the file. I then added the code

[17:38] <FreeWilly> what u mean it should say
[17:38] <FreeWilly> thanks llutz
[17:38] <FreeWilly> thanks escott
[17:38] <KrisDouglas> luist, "gpgv: keyblock resource `/home/mirrorkeyring/trustedkeys.gpg': file open error"
[17:38] <KrisDouglas> luist, does that path exist?
[17:38] <CarlFK> FreeWilly: try  interfaces = 127.0.0.1/8 192.168.1.105/24
[17:38] <escott> luist, i think you need to wget http://cc.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/Release.gpg and add it to your mirror trusted keys keyring
[17:39] <recon69_lap>  l1nuxman: so you've completed that guide and it's not working
[17:39] <l1nuxman> I haven't done any kernel options like I see there though, don't know how
[17:39] <FreeWilly> i have that line
[17:39] <CarlFK> escott: something like this right? curl http://apt.wxwidgets.org/key.asc | sudo apt-key add -
[17:39] <leo145> no one helps me? my ubuntu doesn't boot
[17:39] <escott> luist, a better approach would be to check keyserver.ubuntu.com for the key 40976EAF437D05B5 otherwise you are trusting the website you are downloading from to confirm its own key
[17:39] <FreeWilly> just above bind intrerfaces only = true
[17:39] <l1nuxman> recon69_lap, ^
[17:40] <CarlFK> FreeWilly: it's different
[17:40] <written> how can i change the mirror used in /etc/apt/sources.list in ubuntu server from the command line? is there a tool?
[17:41] <FreeWilly> CarlFK: thanks silly me : instead of /
[17:41] <auronandace> written: nano to the rescue
[17:41] <leo145> :( ?
[17:41] <recon69_lap> l1nuxman: :) , look like you have to compile the kernel, what fun
[17:42] <BluesKaj> BBL, stuff to do
[17:42] <l1nuxman> recon69_lap, ...I"m gonna restart for fun
[17:42] <auronandace> leo145: switchable graphics are somewhat troublesome on linux (not well supported)
[17:42] <written> auronandace, only nano? no tool?
[17:43] <auronandace> written: not that i'm aware of
[17:43] <leo145> auronandace: i don;t want to switch.i only want to return my Xorg config back to use intel
[17:44] <escott> leo145, you should not have an Xorg.conf for intel
[17:45] <leo145> escott: my Xorg.conf configured to use ati (incorectly).so i see black screen while booting.how can i fix that?
[17:45] <rhizmoe> is there a better torrent client than transmission? transmission keeps hanging and being screwy.
[17:45] <escott> !nomodeset | leo145
[17:45] <auronandace> leo145: i think you'd need to disable the graphics card that you don't want to use in the bios
[17:45] <escott> leo145, once you can boot to text successfully with nomodeset you can remove the ati drivers, and remove any Xorg.conf that exists
[17:45] <urthmover> !xforcevesa | leo145
[17:46] <auronandace> rhizmoe: better is subjective, an alternative is deluge
[17:47] <leo145> can really login with only nomodeset option?
[17:47] <l1nuxman> recon69_lap, :( @ ubuntu
[17:48] <rhizmoe> auronandace: thanks, yeah, i should ask for "popular alternatives" :)
[17:49] <luist> escott: http://pastie.org/2945121  well i downloaded the Release.gpg and renamed as trustedkeys.gpg but i got another error now :T
[17:50] <recon69_lap> l1nuxman: look like to get this working you going to have to download the kernel source, the build tools, put that film ware in the right place and build a custom kernel. quite a lot of work if you never did it before
[17:51] <l1nuxman> wow recon69_lap that sounds like too much...maybe if I found a linux distro that can make it work
[17:51] <escott> luist, thats incorrect you need to look at the gpg man page or the original tutorial you sent to learn how to use the gpg tools. the release.gpg is the key file, and is not the same format as the trustedkeys.gpg
[17:52] <luist> escott: well i couldnt find any solution there… how do i add 40976EAF437D05B5 to trusted keys
[17:53] <rhizmoe> jeez, what is up with both synaptic and ubuntu sw center not taking credentials, or not offering an error message upon failure, or otherwise not sudo'ing?
[17:53] <escott> luist, go to keyserver.ubuntu.com and search for that key. i think you need the asc file for that key
[17:54] <rhizmoe> extra shudder: how it asks for the password for "Administrator" ...better break out my MCSE for this one, maybe
[17:55] <FreeWilly> after stopping my samba coz still debugging when i run ps aux | grep smbd i get "willem    2196  0.0  0.0   7616   924 pts/0    S+   19:54   0:00 grep --color=auto smbd"
[17:55] <Metroshica> I'm trying to update my Ubunutu mirror I just installed, but when I run su - apt-mirror -c apt-mirror I get this error "apt-mirror: can't write to intermediate file (index-urls.0)"
[17:55] <FreeWilly> does this mean its still running?
[17:55] <recon69_lap> l1nuxman: have a read of http://blog.avirtualhome.com/2010/07/14/how-to-compile-a-ubuntu-2-6-35-kernel-for-lucid/
[17:55] <media-server> having some issues with 10.04 and my Audigy 2 sound card... Did a fresh install and it doesn't seem to see the audigy. I disabled the onboard sound int he bios already but in the pulseaudio settings it still says "internal" Any help or links to docs are appreciated
[17:56] <escott> FreeWilly, no that. the command ps aux | grep smbd runs a command "grep --color=auto smbd" (the --color=auto was added by your bash aliases) and that command is what is appearing in your ps aux. if that is the only line then no other commands with smbd are running right now, so smbd in particular is not running
[17:57] <Metroshica> I'm trying to update my Ubunutu mirror I just installed, but when I run su - apt-mirror -c apt-mirror I get this error "apt-mirror: can't write to intermediate file (index-urls.0)". I've done a chown -R apt-mirror:apt-mirror on /var/spool/apt-mirror, where my mirror is located, but it didn't make a difference
[17:57] <FreeWilly> escott: thanks now i know what that means
[17:57] <recon69_lap> l1nuxman: been a long time since i compiled a kernel, so cant be to sure whats required with ubuntu
[17:57] <escott> FreeWilly, its like sending someone into a room and asking him to report on the number of people in that room and he comes back and says "the only person in the room at that time was me"
[17:57] <FreeWilly> lol
[17:58] <luist> escott: no keys found :T
[17:59] <escott> luist, did you prefix with an x before the number
[17:59] <escott> luist x40976EAF437D05B5
[17:59] <escott> luist, or 0x40976EAF437D05B5 (that is a zero at the beginning)
[18:00] <luist> escott: ok it worked with 0x
[18:00] <luist> where do i copy its contents to
[18:00] <agentgasmask> Hi all. How can I auto-start the vino VNC server? I've done the obviouse in the the vino-preferences. Any hints?
[18:00] <agentgasmask> Oh, in Ubuntu 11.11
[18:01] <escott> luist, i believe you need to save the asc file, and then use the gpg import command listed in the tutorial you were looking at earlier to add it to your keyring. be sure to delete the current trusted keyring since you corrupted it
[18:01] <ghen> haiii.....
[18:01] <luist> escott: ok ill try
[18:02] <ghen> can i help u??
[18:02] <ghen> what's your name??
[18:03] <escott> agentgasmask, add it to your gnome-session-preferences
[18:03] <recon69_lap> l1nuxman: i would also consider how short life is and how inexpensive usb wireless dongles are

[18:14] <ThinkT510> Jakr: use the update manager or just sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get upgrade
[18:15] <Jakr> ThinkT510, no use, there are errors and red text
[18:15] <badstone> I am really not doing anything malicious.. I don't even use what I get.. I just think it is crazy fun.
[18:15] <escott> badstone, its not appropriate for this channel

[18:16] <NeedSomeHelp> hello, anyone here know basic XSLT ?
[18:16] <brendan-`> ThinkT510: thanks, looking into that now
[18:16] <ubuntugrl> hi there! I just installed Ubuntu 11.04 but it keeps getting hung up on the boot, I can't get past "Verifying DMI pool data" :(
[18:17] <MeQuerSat> How can I make my wifi card accessible as AP and share internet?
[18:17] <ThinkT510> brendan-`: no worries, just glad you will be upgrading sometime
[18:18] <escott> MeQuerSat, not all cards can do this. first you need to see if iwconfig will let you put the device into master mode, and then look at !ics
[18:18] <brendan-`> haha, yeah as soon as i get a chance to get my head above water.   i'm aiming for around the holiday break (in the US) to take a few days to upgrade all the servers
[18:18] <MeQuerSat> escott: I know my wifi card can do it
[18:19] <MeQuerSat> Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR922X Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)
[18:20] <Jakr> ThinkT510, well this time it says software up to date.  But is my os up to date?
[18:20] <ThinkT510> Jakr: sounds like it
[18:22] <JusticeZero> First: Should I be alarmed that when I open dialogues and things on my unity system that the text has glitch characteristics for an instant before they resolve?
[18:23] <Jakr> ThinkT510, different question.  Can I change the settings so I do not have to type in my password everytime I want to do something like install something?  I am the only account user
[18:23] <ThinkT510> Jakr: you don't want to do that (security risk)
[18:24] <JusticeZero> Second: Why on earth can I not get Brasero to recognize a USB so I can burn lubuntu to try to get my other lappy working before this one suffers Unity-fueled doom?
[18:24] <escott> Jakr, and we won't tell you how to circumvent that
[18:25] <lovre> hi all. The application KGmailNotifier crashes and blocks when trying to close it. It gives the following error: glibc detected - corrupted double-linked list.... What is this, and can it be fix?
[18:25] <Jakr> escott, you assume that I will get clumsy and will install a virus
[18:25] <afat> which should I use?
[18:25] <afat> ubuntu or debain?
[18:25] <afat> debian
[18:25] <afat> which is best supported?
[18:25] <Pici> afat: This is #ubuntu, if you want unbias responses, try ##linux
[18:25] <szal> unbiased?  lol..
[18:25] <ThinkT510> Jakr: no, if you give your user full access anything your user runs also gets full access
[18:26] <meadhikari> is their any where u can ssh over a high power ubuntu machine and run a script just for a while?
[18:26] <brendan-`> Jakr, a quick google search will reveal how to use sudo with no passwd
[18:26] <escott> Jakr, it causes more trouble than its worth to circumvent it, and its channel policy not to give instructions on circumventing it
[18:26] <brendan-`> meadhikari: amazon ec2   or rackspace cloud servers
[18:26] <Jakr> I thought that ubuntu was uninfectable
[18:26] <escott> Jakr, those who know how to circumvent it are usually the ones who know the risks of doing so
[18:26] <meadhikari> brendan-`, i mean free :)
[18:27] <brendan-`> meadhikari: lol, didn't your momma ever teach you nothing in life is free? ;)
[18:27] <brendan-`> meadhikari: if you're only spinning up a server for a few minutes, ec2 and cloud servers are both actually really cheap
[18:27] <JusticeZero> Jakr, you don't want it to just OK whatever it thinks you asked for. What if you didn't ask to do it? What if some evilware asked to do it for evil reasons?
[18:27] <JusticeZero> anyways.. burning lubuntu to usb. is it possible to do? :p I'm not having luck with it..
[18:28] <JusticeZero> Jakr, that's because it does things like: ask you for your password every time it wants to make system changes.
[18:28] <brendan-`> i was just researching cloud servers this morning and they only charge like 15 cents an hour
[18:28] <Jakr> JusticeZero, is it possible to turn off password requests only for installations?
[18:28] <ThinkT510> JusticeZero: you don't "burn" to usb
[18:28] <jclbrt> only 15 cents an hour?
[18:28] <JusticeZero> Jakr, otherwise it's like saying "But why should we worry about people escaping from the prison if we open all the doors and send all the guards home? It's a high security installation, isn't it?"
[18:29] <Pici> !ot
[18:29] <meadhikari> brendan-`, I only wanted the output for this http://paste.ubuntu.com/755199/
[18:29] <jclbrt> thats like $110ish a month
[18:29] <meadhikari> brendan-`,  but it seems it will take ages from my pc
[18:29] <brendan-`> meadhikari: yes, yes it will
[18:29] <jclbrt> and yes justicezero you can put ubuntu on a flash drive
[18:29] <jclbrt> and even run it too
[18:29] <escott> Jakr, there are packages you could install that would make your system unbootable. once you have learned enough to know how to do what you are proposing you will know why you dont want to do it
[18:30] <Jakr> Pici, was that directed at me?
[18:30] <osse> Jakr, AFAIK you can configure sudo to let you execute 'apt-get' without prompting for a password. But I guess you would still be exposed in case you run a shell script that in turn runs 'apt-get'
[18:30] <ThinkT510> !usb | JusticeZero
[18:30] <Pici> Jakr: no
[18:30] <JusticeZero> ThinkT510 then how do I make a live boot from this? I've done it before but now i'm just lost for some reason
[18:30] <brendan-`> jclbrt: sorry, i got it wrong, it's actually 1.5 cents/hour
[18:30] <meadhikari> brendan-`, any ways i can get the output in this month :D
[18:30] <Phr3d13> What's the terminal command to reconfig nvidia drivers?
[18:30] <brendan-`> for their smallest server
[18:31] <jclbrt> that's pretty decent
[18:31] <jclbrt> i have a cloud at work tho :-)
[18:31] <JusticeZero> Anyhow, other question, should I be alarmed if i'm seeing graphics glitches in text for a brief instant in Unity stuff?
[18:31] <jclbrt> free  here
[18:32] <kla> Phr3d13: dpkg-reconfigure or maybe aptitude reinstall
[18:32] <brendan-`> meadhikari: looking at rackspace cloud servers, you can spin up a 16GB server for 96 cents/hr
[18:32] <brendan-`> surely a machine like that could process that code in under an hour
[18:32] <ThinkT510> take the cloud talk to offtopic
[18:32] <Pici> brendan-`, jclbrt: Do you mind moving the discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic, as #ubuntu is already rather busy with support requests.
[18:32] <brendan-`> orry
[18:32] <brendan-`> sorry
[18:32] <meadhikari> brendan-`, momma gave me no money
[18:33] <jclbrt> eek sheesh this channel has gotten stricter :-(
[18:33] <meadhikari> sorry guys
[18:33] <tonni> join #ubuntu-ru
[18:34] <ThinkT510> kla: just so you know aptitude isn't installed by default anymore
[18:34] <Phr3d13> I am trying to boot into ubuntu, but after grub all I get is a purple garbled mess, currently in alt+f1 terminal
[18:34] <kla> ThinkT510: really? shame imho. I wouldn't have noticed really since I just keep updating over older versions
[18:35] <Phr3d13> What do I do next? Nvidia card
[18:35] <ThinkT510> !nomodeset | Phr3d13
[18:36] <kla> Phr3d13: by 'reconfigure the driver' what is it, in more specific terms, that you need to get accomplished?
[18:36] <Phr3d13> It used to boot though...
[18:36] <kla> Phr3d13: nvm
[18:38] <Origin1990> Does anyone know what would cause Ubuntu to say my wireless is disabled even after checking "enable wireless"? I'm using an Atheros card. Wireless worked last time I had the same version of Ubuntu on this laptop.
[18:39] <brendan-`> hey does anyone know how i would report an error on paste.ubuntu.com ??
[18:39] <brendan-`> i'm getting a mod_python error
[18:39] <brendan-`> actually, no even worse: DatabaseError: database disk image is malformed
[18:40] <john__> What's the easiest way to clone a hard disk so the ISO can be loaded in virtualbox/vmware?  I tried the dd approach, but it filled the entire drive making the iso and I don't have an external drive to do it with
[18:41] <brendan-`> john__: check out remastersys
[18:41] <Phr3d13> Ok, nomodeset got me in, but why did I have to do this, and will I always have to do this?
[18:41] <dani> como instalo wiithon
[18:42] <FreeWilly> could anyone with any previous knowledge or chat exp in #samba helpo to wake them up
[18:42] <escott> Phr3d13, you can add nomodeset to /etc/default/grub and rerun update-grub
[18:42] <john__> brendan-`: darn, the system is fedora
[18:42] <Phr3d13> Ok, scratch that, hung on ubuntu loading screen with the progress balls
[18:42] <brendan-`> john__:  ahhhh, you're in the wrong chan then ;)
[18:43] <Guest78048> tengo linux mint, y en los repositorios no esta
[18:43] <escott> Phr3d13, hit the up arrow
[18:43] <escott> !mint | Guest78048
[18:43] <escott> !es | Guest78048
[18:43] <Phr3d13> ?
[18:43] <john__> yeah, but good luck with anyone helping in #fedora, I figured there was a standard tool for all distribs
[18:43] <Pici> john__: Then try ##linux, not #ubuntu
[18:43] <Guest78048> gracias
[18:43] <escott> Phr3d13, just do it, you will be able to see what it is doing
[18:43] <JusticeZero> ..... Is there any way to move the bar from the bottom of the screen in lubuntu?
[18:44] <themisfit> Anyone alive?
[18:44] <ThinkT510> JusticeZero: rightclick it
[18:44] <Phr3d13> No, it hung/froze, the balls didn't move
[18:44] <john__> I think mklivecd is what I want
[18:44] <themisfit> Nice.
[18:44] <escott> Phr3d13, try doing the nomodeset, but remove the "splash" and change that to "nosplash" hopefully you will see what it does before it hangs
[18:45] <kla> john__: can't you just genisoimage/mkisofs whatever data you need?
[18:45] <themisfit> Does anyone know the name of a Bluetooth dongle that is able to pair successfully with a mouse in Ubuntu 11.10?
[18:45] <escott> Phr3d13, you can also add "text" which will not load the gui, but hopefully get you to a working system
[18:45] <kla> john__: or do you need an actual bootable .iso file?
[18:47] <Phr3d13> What does the vt.handoff=7 do?
[18:47] <themisfit> Any recommendations?
[18:48] <escott> Phr3d13, it is saying what virtual terminal the gui should try and run on.
[18:48] <Dj_FlyBy[ms]> having some issues with 10.04 and my Audigy 2 sound card... Did a fresh install and it doesn't seem to see the audigy. I disabled the onboard sound in the bios already but in the pulseaudio settings it still says "internal" Any help or links to docs are appreciated
[18:48] <Phr3d13> I used nosplash and it still froze
[18:49] <kla> Phr3d13: use 'single', see if it freezes
[18:49] <cristipiticul> hello
[18:49] <kla> Phr3d13: and remove silent
[18:49] <cristipiticul> is anybody here?
[18:49] <ThinkT510> cristipiticul: yes indeedy
[18:50] <cristipiticul> hello
[18:50] <cristipiticul> I'm having trouble starting Ubuntu
[18:50] <ThinkT510> cristipiticul: need help?
[18:50] <cristipiticul> I'm now running on Windows
[18:50] <cristipiticul> is this the right place to ask?
[18:50] <themisfit> Does anyone here use a Bluetooth dongle?
[18:51] <kla> cristipiticul: Yes. Please describe the problem.
[18:51] <cristipiticul> okay
[18:51] <cristipiticul> I don't know if this might help, but...
[18:51] <cristipiticul> yesterday it worked all fine
[18:51] <cristipiticul> today, when I first started it
[18:51] <cristipiticul> it seemed ok too
[18:51] <ThinkT510> themisfit: can't you use a wired mouse? never have to worry about batteries ever again
[18:51] <cristipiticul> but it took about 10-20 seconds to save a small text file
[18:52] <kla> cristipiticul: write as much information as possible in one line , also :)
[18:52] <ThinkT510> !enter | cristipiticul
[18:52] <Phr3d13> After ro there is "quiet splash vt.handoff=7"
[18:52] <themisfit> It's rechargeable. :P
[18:53] <escott> Phr3d13, you want noquiet nosplash single nomodeset or noquiet nosplash text nomodeset
[18:53] <c[_]> i have a bit of a problem with my usb dongle Ubuntu isnt picking the connection up
[18:53] <cristipiticul> okay, sorry. So ... let's get to the end... finally, hotkeys wouldn't work. ALT + TAB or shifting workspaces didn't work at all. When I put the mouse in the top of the screen, the buttons (X, maximize, minimize) didn't show up
[18:54] <Phr3d13> Should the vt.handoff stay?
[18:54] <cristipiticul> I pressed CTRL+ALT+DEL and it gave me an error. I didn't know what to do so I've restarted the pc from the PC button. After that, it got stuck before the login screen
[18:54] <escott> Phr3d13, i would leave it. but it shouldn't matter
[18:54] <themisfit> c[], Bluetooth?
[18:54] <c[_]> themisfit: usb
[18:54] <escott> cristipiticul, was the gui jerky?
[18:54] <themisfit> USB+Bluetooth or just USB?
[18:54] <c[_]> Huawei E5830
[18:55] <c[_]> just USB
[18:55] <cristipiticul> before, it showed me the purple screen (in the beginning, but after a period a black rectangle showed up with some colored lines), but nothing, even if I wait
[18:55] <themisfit> What's lsusb show?
[18:55] <cristipiticul> I don't know if this means "gui jerky"
[18:55] <c[_]> Bus 002 Device 007: ID 12d1:142d Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
[18:56] <cristipiticul> the second time I tried to start it, it showed me a black scrine with the white cursor( you know, the blinking white underscore)
[18:56] <escott> cristipiticul, so you are describing a number of issues from the initial boot to the point where you were interacting with gui (graphical programs). it would help us to know the first symptom of trouble
[18:56] <themisfit> What's the dongle dangle for?
[18:56] <c[_]> internet
[18:56] <escott> cristipiticul, so when you are booting what was the first thing that went wrong? the black rectangle on the plymouth screen (the purple screen)
[18:56] <themisfit> Are you familiar with ifconfig?
[18:57] <c[_]> no :(
[18:57] <themisfit> How about the UI?
[18:57] <doomviking> am I crazy, or is libmysql-ruby missing from natty
[18:57] <doomviking> or both
[18:58] <c[_]> yeah im use to it
[18:58] <jclbrt> stupid connection reset by peer....
[18:58] <themisfit> Does ifconfig list the interface?
[18:58] <cristipiticul> hmm... since I have Ubuntu 10.?? (I think)  it showed me that black rectangle on the screen with some colored lines for a short period of time. I don't know if this is a sympthom or not. Anyway, I didn't have any trouble regarding the running applications. It worked great
[18:58] <TImewarper> HEY
[18:58] <jclbrt> that is goin on my tombstone....  RIP... Connection Reset by Peer
[18:58] <Zoohouse> Hello everyone
[18:58] <kla> jclbrt: :)
[18:58] <cristipiticul> since today. Some of my friends on other IRC channel told me it could be because of the update I did yesterday
[18:58] <TImewarper> how can i blacklist a user sshd (stop that user from using ssh)
[18:59] <ndk> Hello, I haz NAMED dns server chewing resource, can it be killed? is it needed for apache or just for subdomains if i happens to have any??
[18:59] <escott> cristipiticul, what did you update? do you know?
[18:59] <blognewb> hi guys where did "cron" get its name from?
[18:59] <Zoohouse> Where would I go to report a package listed in synaptic that is out of date? The package I am speaking of is Anjuta if you are wondering.
[18:59] <jclbrt> Timewarper i believe there is a group for that
[18:59] <cristipiticul> it showed me the update manager and I pressed install all
[18:59] <cristipiticul> I have no idea what I've installed, sorry :D
[18:59] <Phr3d13> Ok, got to a terminal, no internet, how do I reconfig the drivers?
[18:59] <escott> cristipiticul, was it a big update or a little one?
[19:00] <cristipiticul> I think they were about 80 small updates. I don't know
[19:00] <escott> cristipiticul, ok. if you have a livecd or liveusb I would like you to boot that
[19:00] <kla> blognewb: greek for 'time' or something to that effect..
[19:00] <annath> I have a problem... I have an older machine I am trying to run ubuntu on, and so I did a fresh install of 11.10. It worked fine for a couple of weeks, but lately I have been having trouble with it. Every time I go to boot the machine, I see the machine boot and then it never gets to Ubuntu. It doesn't display anything. My monitor acts like there's no input. I am kind of at a loss. I know the video card works because I can se
[19:00] <annath> e the BIOS splash image come up, but aside from that I haven't a clue what to do
[19:00] <cristipiticul> that could be a problem...
[19:01] <escott> cristipiticul, you are in windows. can you make one?
[19:01] <c[_]> no :(
[19:01] <escott> !nomodeset | annath
[19:01] <jclbrt> Timewarper: I believe you can add to the ssh config a user or a group that is allowed to ssh in
[19:01] <jclbrt> i'd recommend a group
[19:01] <cristipiticul> I'm searching for it on my PC... I will tell you when I'm done
[19:01] <annath> I'll look into that, thanks

[19:02] <Origin1990> Could someone tell me how to enable wireless in Ubuntu 11.04? The computer recognizes the wireless card is there, but the option to enable wireless is greyed out.
[19:03] <jclbrt> errrr AllowUsers not AddUsers
[19:03] <c[_]> anyone else then?
[19:03] <cristipiticul> escott, is the ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso good enough for usb boot?
[19:03] <escott> cristipiticul, sure thats fine
[19:03] <cristipiticul> ok
[19:03] <escott> cristipiticul, ideally one that matches the version you are running, but its not too particular
[19:03] <repozitor> is there eexist anyone to help me?
[19:03] <repozitor> exist*
[19:04] <MeQuerSat> escott, I thought it should be possible to share an internet connection in Linux

[19:04] <ThinkT510> repozitor: samba is for windows networking
[19:04] <repozitor> ThinkT510:just?
[19:04] <MeQuerSat> escott, Ive read that
[19:05] <MeQuerSat> doesnt work
[19:05] <ThinkT510> repozitor: why not use ssh?
[19:05] <escott> cristipiticul, i need to sign-off, but someone else can help you once you have the livecd working. let them know you that you are having booting problems after some smaller updates. they can take you through some debugging steps. i would recommend an fsck, and then pull your apt logs from the ubuntu partition to figure out what was updated
[19:05] <Zoohouse> blognewb, cron is short for crono which anything related to time. Example chronometer and etc. Hope that helps.
[19:05] <Phr3d13> How do I find out what nvidia package is installed?
[19:05] <yuvateja> kla: it shows like that " bash: !cups: event not found
[19:06] <yuvateja> '
[19:06] <cristipiticul> ok
[19:06] <repozitor> ThinkT510:i neeed to see and explore my file from mac to ubuntu
[19:06] <cristipiticul> I don't know what that means :D, but thank you for your help
[19:06] <ThinkT510> repozitor: why not use ssh?
[19:06] <escott> MeQuerSat, it should work, but its more complicated by your desire to run wireless on top of it. i would first get it working with an unencrypted wireless and then look into setting up a wpa server. i have no idea what package that would be
[19:06] <cristipiticul> I'll ask somebody else about it.
[19:06] <cristipiticul> have a nice day, escott
[19:06] <repozitor> ThinkT510: how to use it?

[19:09] <Anomie211> I have a hard disk that is corrupt (showing as a 300MB CD Drive in windows lol), is there a tutorial guide out there on repairing it in 11.10 (the data isnt important aslong as I can  get it working again).
[19:10] <kla> Anomie211: that sounds pretty corrupt lol. Did you try things like fdisk?
[19:10] <brendan-`> Anomie211: why would you want to keep a disk that has gone corrupt?  chances are it's goign to happen again
[19:10] <Phr3d13> Tilde is shift + the key to the left of the number one
[19:11] <Anomie211> kla: nope not tried anything yet.
[19:11] <brendan-`> unless you know exactly what happened, or you did it yourself
[19:11] <c[_]> Phr3d13: depends on keyboard to me thats ¬
[19:11] <c[_]> layout*
[19:11] <Anomie211> brendan-`: didn't realise it made the probability higher, would like to get it working again though if I could to tide me over until I got a new one
[19:11] <kla> Anomie211: try fdisk and see if you can reset the partition table and get it working
[19:11] <Zoohouse> Phr3d13, I don't think it's installed.
[19:11] <Phr3d13> Weird
[19:12] <c[_]> how could irssi cause a kernel panic?
[19:12] <brendan-`> Anomie211: i would think if you didn't do anything software wise to corrupt it, it's probably hardware related and is going to happen again
[19:12] <ThinkT510> Phr3d13: on uk keyboard it is above the right shift key on the same key as #
[19:12] <JusticeZero> Anomie211 brendan-`: Yeah, if a drive has gone bad, there is usually some reason (and you probably never learn what it was) that might still be bouncing around in it.
[19:12] <cristipiticul> hello again

[19:19] <cristipiticul_> do you see what I'm writing?
[19:19] <c[_]> cristipiticul_: no why? :p
[19:19] <lowsmoke> this native irc client with ubuntu is very confusing...all text is in white :)
[19:19] <Phr3d13> Zoohouse: I think from a run file downloaded from nvidia
[19:19] <Zoohouse> _Neytiri_, if you have nvidia installed, try this: gksu nvidia-settings and then enable it.
[19:19] <ThinkT510> repozitor: it is fairly straightforward in the gui, just make sure you install the guest additions and you can set a share
[19:19] <c[_]> lowsmoke: mine is red white and grey :p
[19:20] <lowsmoke> kla: the keyboard has the tilde sign, but no altgr key, so i dunno how to type it :(
[19:20] <cristipiticul_> did you see what I wrote?
[19:20] <_Neytiri_> thanks
[19:20] <Phr3d13> No gui access
[19:20] <Zoohouse> Phr3d13, ah, open synaptic and download it form there.
[19:20] <c[_]> cristipiticul_: yes
[19:20] <apwbdjp> lowsmoke, Ctrl+Alt does the AltGr job
[19:20] <lowsmoke> oh, oh, <21
[19:20] <Phr3d13> No gui, no internet...
[19:20] <lowsmoke> im getting close now i think :)
[19:20] <apwbdjp> lowsmoke, some times..
[19:20] <repozitor> ThinkT510: i have VMware and VirtualBOx, can you say me that how to shar file in the VirtualBOx>
[19:20] <kla> lowsmoke: alt gr... linux can be configured to have it
[19:20] <repozitor> ?
[19:20] <gibbo83> scarface
[19:20] <cristipiticul_> it got stuck sometimes, Mozzila browser and other applications turned gray and saving a small text file took 5-10 seconds
[19:21] <repozitor> my host is:MAC OSX, and guest is UBUNTU
[19:21] <ThinkT510> repozitor: select the vm, open settings and go to shared folders
[19:21] <Phr3d13> Zoohouse: no gui no internet
[19:21] <lowsmoke> Ctrl+Alt+Tilde-sign does nothing.
[19:21] <repozitor> ThinkT510: done
[19:21] <Zoohouse> _Neytiri_, Try reading this, this is where I got the answer from: http://tinyurl.com/bvu57df
[19:21] <cristipiticul_> after some time, no shortcuts worked, ALT + TAB or CTRL+SHIFT+LEFT/RIGHT (shifting workspaces) did nothing
[19:22] <c[_]> lowsmoke: did you try shift+Tilde sign?
[19:22] <ThinkT510> repozitor: can you work it out from there?
[19:22] <kla> lowsmoke: try 'dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration' ........
[19:22] <Phr3d13> ~   copy paste that :)
[19:22] <cristipiticul_> when I put the cursor on the top of the screen the buttons (X,minimize,maximize) didn't appear
[19:22] <lowsmoke> C: shift+tilde does this: ^
[19:22] <cristipiticul_> and CTRL+ALT+DEL gave me an error
[19:22] <rhizmoe> gdm crash from chrome. fantastic.
[19:22] <kla> lowsmoke: you'll find a page where to set a key to act as altGr
[19:22] <repozitor> i selected two file for sharing, but I'm unable to see this files in the ubuntu
[19:22] <c[_]> try shift+6
[19:22] <Timewarper> hey
[19:22] <repozitor> ThinkT510: ^
[19:22] <lowsmoke> kla: i might have to do that if i cant figure this out..
[19:23] <cristipiticul_> does anybody have any ideas?
[19:23] <Timewarper> i need to run xhost +localhost everytime i reboot, how can i make this command permanent?
[19:23] <ThinkT510> repozitor: you need to install guest additions in ubuntu for shared folders to work
[19:23] <Phr3d13> How do I find out if I have any nvidia packages installed?
[19:24] <lowsmoke> phr3d13: press command key, and write nvidia
[19:24] <JusticeZero> lowsmoke: phr is in a CLI shell.
[19:24] <lowsmoke> i should not be giving advice, since i installed ubuntu yesterday :P
[19:24] <Phr3d13> lowsmoke: no gui...
[19:24] <apwbdjp> Phr3d13, it would've been easy from synaptic, but since no gui.. aptitude?
[19:24] <kla> Phr3d13: dpkg --list | grep -i nvidia
[19:24] <repozitor> ThinkT510:i install it in the past
[19:25] <apwbdjp> kla, +1.
[19:25] <Phr3d13> Ty kla
[19:25] <Zoohouse> Phr3d13, run this: whereis nvidia
[19:25] <ThinkT510> repozitor: boot the vm
[19:25] <repozitor> ThinkT510: done
[19:25] <Zoohouse> Phase, what kla says is better.

[19:26] <annath> ok so I am looking at this nomodeset stuff and I have one question. can I edit all of this from a LiveCD or something? I can't get grub to show up
[19:26] <c[_]> lowsmoke: have you tried
[19:26] <blognewb> hey guys once i partition the drive, i could no longer merge the pieces back? is that correct?
[19:26] <c[_]> guess you got it then :p
[19:26] <Zoohouse> _Neytiri_, did you get it fixed?
[19:26] <kla> lowsmoke: cheers
[19:26] <lowsmoke> now i can get back to terminal,
[19:26] <lowsmoke> :)
[19:27] <c[_]> what is ~ used for? lol
[19:27] <eliterequiem> anyone have experience making old parallel port scanners work?
[19:27] <kla> c[_]: home
[19:27] <Phr3d13> Ok, returns a few, nvidia-current is one
[19:27] <apwbdjp> c[_], home folder
[19:27] <c[_]> ah
[19:27] <Yo_ou_quoi> yo
[19:27] <JusticeZero> blognewb: You could delete the partitions and create a new one in the space they were
[19:27] <Zoohouse> c[_], ~/
[19:27] <Sylwanin> no Zoohouse it didnt work, it cashed something and now i cant interact with any windows
[19:27] <crazymutex> is there a file somewhere where one can blacklist packages so they don't appear in sources lists?
[19:27] <c[_]> mateusz: i know someone called that :o
[19:27] <cristipiticul> can anybody help me, please?
[19:27] <repozitor> ThinkT510: next step?
[19:28] <ThinkT510> repozitor: thats it, it should be mounted
[19:28] <mateusz> Hi. I just installed new # on my laptop and i cant configure th einternet. Ubuntu has got problem with my on/off function button, so i blocked it. I tried to found smth on the internet but i did not found solution.
[19:28] <repozitor> how to mount it manually?
[19:28] <Malamen> Hi there, I'm with a realy weird problem of missing disk space! Anybopdy please?
[19:28] <Zoohouse> _Neytiri_, Did you read the link I gave you?
[19:28] <blognewb> JusticeZero so you meant if i delete the win7 partition, i can merge that piece back to the remaining partitions which has my ubuntu?
[19:28] <ThinkT510> !mount | repozitor
[19:28] <_Neytiri_> didnt see it
[19:28] <JusticeZero> cristipiticul I don't know what to do there personally, just so you don't feel like everyone is ignoring you.. :p
[19:29] <JusticeZero> blognewb: Which side is it on?
[19:29] <ThinkT510> repozitor: checked under /media?
[19:29] <cristipiticul> thank you, JusticeZero  :D. So nobody has any ideas :(.
[19:29] <kla> mateusz: why can't you configure the internet and how does ubuntu exactly react the on/off function button (is this the wireless enable/disable button?)
[19:29] <cristipiticul> any idea *, sorry
[19:29] <Zoohouse> _Neytiri_, Try reading this: http://tinyurl.com/bvu57df
[19:29] <repozitor> ThinkT510: if the file doesn't appear automatically, I'm unable to see it?
[19:29] <Malamen> >>>>>>>>> Hi there, I'm with a realy weird problem of missing disk space! Anybopdy please?
[19:30] <blognewb> JusticeZero it is partitioned into 3, one for ubuntu, 1 fow win7 one for win7 recovery
[19:30] <Dj_FlyBy[ms]> having some issues with 10.04 and my Audigy 2 sound card... Did a fresh install and it doesn't seem to see the audigy. I disabled the onboard sound in the bios already but in the pulseaudio settings it still says "internal" Any help or links to docs are appreciated
[19:30] <ThinkT510> repozitor: you say file.. don't you mean folder? you share directories with files in them
[19:30] <Pici> Malamen: Some details would help us in figuring out what the issue is.
[19:30] <Zoohouse> Malamen, You asked that a few seconds ago. Don't ask again so soon. Why don't you try giving us more details instead?
[19:30] <JusticeZero> blognewb: OK, so what, do you want to just get rid of the windows partition altogether?
[19:30] <repozitor> ThinkT510: i mean folder
[19:30] <repozitor> :D
[19:31] <mateusz> kla: If i push on/off nothing happens ( the wifi light is still off) its this button; After my changes ubuntu does not react on pushing this button the light was always on
[19:31] <projekt26> I created an ext4 file container with truecrypt 7.1 and now when I move my collections of videos and pictures in there it hangs my whole system (ubuntu 11.10).  Has anyone an idea how to fix that?
[19:31] <repozitor> i see in the media floppy and floppy1
[19:31] <Zoohouse> mateusz, you are on a laptop?
[19:31] <Phr3d13> What does the 'rc' before a package in a dpkg --list mean?
[19:31] <blognewb> JusticeZero yes
[19:31] <JusticeZero> blognewb: I assume it's in the order recovery;win7;ubuntu. (are there any partitions inside of that? I usually at least seperate out / and /home..)
[19:31] <kla> mateusz: have you tried pressing it with the 'Fn' key?
[19:31] <mateusz> Zoohouse: no but its near me
[19:31] <ThinkT510> repozitor: you sure you've installed guest additions?
[19:31] <repozitor> ThinkT510:yes
[19:31] <Pici> Phr3d13: the headers of that list explain what the columns mean.
[19:32] <ThinkT510> repozitor: what did you share out of interest?
[19:32] <blognewb> JusticeZero im not quite sure of that one :(
[19:32] <mateusz> kla: yes:)
[19:32] <blognewb> JusticeZero what's the case for either?
[19:32] <kla> blognewb: merging/resizing partitions is a technical and potentionally risky operation.
[19:32] <Phr3d13> No headers...
[19:32] <cristipiticul> hey, does anybody know how to do a "FSCK"?
[19:32] <Phr3d13> There's ii and rc
[19:32] <cristipiticul> from a live CD?
[19:32] <mateusz> kla: iwconfig says: eth0 nowireless extensions
[19:32] <Zoohouse> Phr3d13, RC usually means Release Candidate
[19:33] <JusticeZero> blognewb: If that order is the case, you can merge the windows and ubuntu partitions, but you'll lose the data in the ubuntu partition (unless something has been invented that i'm unaware of).
[19:33] <apwbdjp> Phr3d13, take a look at dpkg --list | less, I do have a header
[19:33] <ThinkT510> !fsck | cristipiticul
[19:33] <repozitor> ThinkT510: yes :)
[19:33] <ThinkT510> repozitor: you shared yes?
[19:33] <cristipiticul> okay, I will try those out
[19:33] <repozitor> ThinkT510: YES :)
[19:34] <Phr3d13> Does nvidia drivers have a reconfigure if something goes wrong command?
[19:34] <JusticeZero> blognewb: generally it's no big deal to fiddle with the back of a partition, but fiddling with the front tends to make everything in the partition blow up.
[19:34] <kla> mateusz: try installing and using 'rfkill'
[19:34] <ThinkT510> repozitor: are you saying it is working?
[19:35] <repozitor> no, it doesn't work :D
[19:35] <kla> mateusz: or urfkill (I haven't used that since I didn't have to)
[19:35] <Exxon> Phr3d13, only the default vesa drivers have ; before you do some thing to nvidia copy the xorg..and then..:))
[19:35] <Zoohouse> Phr3d13, run: man nvidia-xconfig
[19:36] <ThinkT510> repozitor: can you show me a screenshot of your shared folders settings screen for your vm?
[19:36] <repozitor> how?, you must get me email address :P
[19:36] <ThinkT510> !screenshot | repozitor
[19:37] <repozitor> ThinkT510:ok, plz w8
[19:37] <mateusz> kla: sudo apt-get install rfkill doesnot work. i also tried. I tried also witg repos: ~/config/openbox/autostart.sh and bash did not found file.
[19:38] <urthmover> xflock4 is kinda sweet
[19:38] <kla> mateusz: do you have the required firmware files for you wireless card installed?
[19:39] <JusticeZero> BAH! Lubuntu menu: "Run" ... that's IT? and all 'Run' does is move the panel back to the bottom?
[19:39] <Exxon> kla, if the modules are loaded you only have to pin it down, things will work fine.
[19:39] <cristipiticul> can you please tell me how to do a fsck manually on my ubuntu partition from the live CD?
[19:40] <ThinkT510> JusticeZero: what? you can move and change the panels all you like in lxde
[19:40] <mateusz> kla: i thing yes. It works . I did like: sudo ifconfig wlan0 up. But i probably have to do this every time i log. How to make it "up" permanently
[19:40] <Zoohouse> cristipiticul, which live CD are you using?
[19:40] <cristipiticul> ubuntu 9.0
[19:40] <cristipiticul> 9.10
[19:41] <JusticeZero> ThinkT510: I put it on top where i'm used to it. Then I went to open something. The only thing there was "Run", and all "Run" did was move the panel to the bottom of the screen where I just moved it from.
[19:41] <kla> mateusz: install wpasupplicant, dhclient and set up the interface through /etc/network/interfaces
[19:41] <JusticeZero> ThinkT510: sorry, correction - "Run" and "Log Out".
[19:42] <ThinkT510> JusticeZero: i don't follow sorry, you can put the panels anywhere and add/remove widgets to them (just like xfce), how did run put the panel back to the bottom?
[19:42] <kla> mateusz: configure it like any other interface except add things like wpa-ssid, wpa-psk etc..
[19:43] <cristipiticul> Deleted inode 264306 has zero dtime.  Fix<y>?

[19:43] <Cajun_Lan_Man> Hello all.  I'm trying to paste something into the /var/www folder in Ubuntu, but there is no option to paste, paste into folder, or otherwise.  Am I missing something? I'm logged in as an account that has administrative rights, but not root.

[19:43] <c[_]> Cajun_Lan_Man: sudo chown yourname /var/www
[19:43] <JusticeZero> ThinkT510: Because that is the only thing that happenned when I selected it.
[19:43] <c[_]> worked for me
[19:43] <cristipiticul> ok.. I'll fix all, ok?
[19:44] <ThinkT510> JusticeZero: sorry, that doesn't make sense. run should bring up a dialog box asking you to input a command
[19:44] <JusticeZero> ThinkT510: grr. I guess i'll have to try xubuntu on it next.
[19:45] <ThinkT510> JusticeZero: xfce is my favourite
[19:45] <Zoohouse> cristipiticul, Found something that may help. http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-boot-ubuntu-linux-rescue-mode/
[19:45] <JusticeZero> It's been nothing but problems since I tried other things.
[19:46] <kla> c[_]: Cajun_Lan_Man : best to set ownership to an admin group, chmod g=rwx and add yourself to the grp
[19:46] <ColourMan> I have a quick question, is there anyway to have ubuntu not stop the boot process if it finds that a hdd (usb) is not connected that has been listed on fstab?
[19:46] <cristipiticul> can you please give me that link again?
[19:46] <Zoohouse> cristipiticul, Found something that may help. http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-boot-ubuntu-linux-rescue-mode/

[19:46] <Cajun_Lan_Man> got it.  Thanks all.
[19:47] <JusticeZero> I like xfce too, but i'd had high hopes of finding something else that would work.. and now THIS machine is acting odd.
[19:47] <kla> ColourMan: try adding 'noautho' the othe options in the fstab
[19:47] <kla> ColourMan: noauto - sorry
[19:47] <ColourMan> kla: will give that a shot, will that mean however I will have to mount after boot?
[19:48] <JusticeZero> I was 'trying out' Unity on this machine. I wanted to give it a decent chance. My conclusion is I love the dash and hate everything else.
[19:48] <kla> ColourMan: I believe so
[19:48] <ColourMan> kla: Ok thanks for that will give it a try now
[19:48] <JusticeZero> So I tried Bodhi on the other machine, since it was listed as a computer that was a successful install. But that ended up failing epically. So I tried putting lubuntu on it and I got that wierdness.
[19:49] <cristipiticul> Zoohouse: thank you, I will try to reboot and select "Recover a broken system"
[19:49] <kla> ColourMan: y/ welcome :)
[19:49] <Zoohouse> cristipiticul, awesome
[19:49] <accipter> sometimes when I am using my trackpad 5 orange circles appears on a window (center and four edges), but I can't interact with them and I can't find any information out about them. What do they do?
[19:49] <ThinkT510> JusticeZero: bodhi? that uses enlightenment? enlightenment has always been a mixed bag for me
[19:50] <ChangJai> hello
[19:50] <Zoohouse> ChangJai, hi
[19:50] <qmr_> How do I move close button and such back to the right?
[19:50] <JusticeZero> It worked perfectly on the usb, but on the hard drive it crashes E17 when you try logging in and thus, cannot get past login screen.
[19:50] <ThinkT510> !controls
[19:51] <Zoohouse> qmr_, what are you talking about? Need more details
[19:51] <three18ti__> is there an API for the notification bar?
[19:52] <qmr_> Zoohouse: ... you click a button to close your windows, right?  how do you put that back on the right side of the window
[19:52] <ThinkT510> !controls | qmr_
[19:53] <qmr_> wow, look at the brain on this one
[19:53] <milen8204> What should I do to can modify my panel on gnome 3.2.1 whit Alt+rightclick ?

[19:53] <mateusz> kla: i rebooted and wlan0 up command does not work now
[19:53] <qmr_> The bot is not working.  So does anyone have a real answer?
[19:54] <_Neytiri_> is there a way to get the classic desktop back?
[19:54] <qmr_> _Neytiri_: change your session type when you login
[19:54] <_Neytiri_> where? i am running 11.10
[19:54] <qmr_> _Neytiri_: at the login screen
[19:54] <Exxon> mateusz, sudo if config wlan0 up
[19:55] <Exxon> mateusz, sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
[19:55] <ThinkT510> repozitor: and repozitor doesn't appear in /media/ or /mnt/ on the vm?
[19:55] <mateusz> Exxon: i did sudo
[19:55] <repozitor> yes
[19:55] <cristipiticul> Thank you, I got it working, Zoohouse
[19:55] <JusticeZero> _Neytiri_: Change the session type in the login screen (you can log out to get to that) but the old classic gnome desktop has been going away for various reasons, inspiring a lot of experimenting with other desktps by people.
[19:55] <ThinkT510> repozitor: and after you added the shared folder you restarted the vm?
[19:56] <Zoohouse> cristipiticul, awesome, glad it helped.
[19:56] <cristipiticul> thank you JusticeZero

[20:00] <mkanyicy> UnknownFrequency, so it is not working?
[20:01] <FnorZ> UnknownFrequency, never seen this complicated 'find' construction. Maybe it works with "for i in *.pdf; do echo ..."
[20:02] <Zoohouse> Malamen, Do you mean that you deleted something really large and then when you check System Monitor, you don't see a change in free space?
[20:02] <apwbdjp> Malamen, you're gonna have to be more specific than "A weird problem of missing disk space". Come on, tell us what you do, and what you see.
[20:02] <Exxon> Malamen, simply delete the unwanted..free up the space there is nothing else can be done about it ; or plug in externeal copy it ; free it up

[20:07] <riveram> I'm new to the linux world, but the more I use Ubuntu the more I like it.  I was just wondering, cuz I read an article that predicted this.  Do you guys think ubuntu is dying?  That even though it has the money and work being put into it that it does, it'll eventually fall.  Never becoming a mainstream alternative?
[20:07] <c[_]> segfalted? :(
[20:07] <Pici> riveram: This channel is for support only, if you want to discuss that, please join #ubuntu-offtopic
[20:07] <Exxon> mateusz, crunchbang is arch distro..no command of ubuntu will work sorry
[20:07] <Resistance> !crunchbang | mateusz
[20:07] <jaimef> riveram: see trends.google.com
[20:08] <c[_]> !segfalted
[20:08] <riveram> k
[20:08] <c[_]> !segfaulted
[20:08] <Resistance> c[_], can we help you with anything?
[20:09] <c[_]> yeah when i log on i dont have the sidebar or the one at the top
[20:09] <Resistance> c[_], then wait for someone to assist you rather than trying to use the bot and failing./
[20:09] <apwbdjp> c[_], and then X suddenly crashes and you find yourself at login screen again?
[20:09] <Zoohouse> c[_], this might help: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segmentation_fault
[20:09] <xangua> Hello everyone, little question: does Overlay Scrollbar works also on Firefox in Oneiric Ocelot¿ using lucid now but i'll like to know ;)
[20:09] <JessD> Does anyone know how to move screenlets in gnome3?
[20:10] <c[_]> apwbdjp i rebooted and logged in like normal and it was like it
[20:11] <apwbdjp> c[_], and it's like it at every boot from then on?
[20:11] <xangua> JessD: tried pressing Alt and drag¿
[20:11] <JessD> xangua : Nope, doesn't work,and they aren't locked, either.
[20:12] <JessD> xangua : alt-move works on everything else though
[20:12] <ThinkT510> xangua: whats with the upside down ?'s
[20:12] <c[_]> aaah now i see why
[20:12] <xangua> JessD: locked¿ are you talking about Panel Indicators ¿
[20:12] <Exxon> mateusz, sorry my mistake its debian ..arch bang is sometimething else ; i don't use or been even familiar with debian
[20:12] <xangua> those are not 'screenlets' ;)
[20:13] <JessD> xangua Screenlets have a locked setting to keep you from moving them
[20:13] <Zoohouse> JessD, I don't know how to do it, but I did find this article that has a little dirty work around. It might help. http://askubuntu.com/questions/81184/cannot-move-screenlets-in-gnome-shell
[20:13] <c[_]> the box at the bottom was on user defined session and not Ubuntu classic
[20:13] <c[_]> :/ now its different
[20:14] <JessD> Zoohouse : worked, thank you.
[20:14] <Zoohouse> JessD, awesome, glad it worked
[20:15] <mateusz> Exxon: sorry fir my mistake but default my irc client makes me this ubuntu irc now i am on crunchbang. Thanks
[20:15] <Exxon> mateusz, debian guys can help you instead..simply don't tell them crunchbang..:))
[20:16] <Pici> Exxon: Please don't provide that kind of advice here.
[20:17] <landono> Does anyone know how to only get kernel source files when using apt-mirror?
[20:18] <akuarius> algum tuga?
[20:18] <akuarius> hi all
[20:18] <akuarius> boas
[20:18] <MonkeyDust> landono  apt-get zource?
[20:18] <MonkeyDust> landono  apt-get source?
[20:18] <akuarius> any one can tell me how can i robe a bank with ubuntu? lol
[20:19] <landono> no, I'm creating a local repository, and I want to mirror the fiels
[20:19] <akuarius> im a poor guy and i nedd some funds to buy a new car
[20:19] <CharminTheMoose> Hey all, I'm running the heliwm window manager and when I start an aterm, I get a BadWindow error. stracing it produces this: http://pastebin.com/mKRS1Wzn some strange thing about the C locales.. any idea what's going on?
[20:19] <landono> but I only want to get the standard packages, and the kernel source files, not the source files for the packages
[20:19] <MonkeyDust> akuarius  ask in #ubuntu-offtopic
[20:19] <ThinkT510> akuarius: "robe a bank" haha, you want to clothe it in ubuntu?
[20:20]  * kla muffles a laughter
[20:20] <Exxon> akuarius, take the laptop /pc with you ..simple :))
[20:21] <landono> I'm creating a local ubuntu repository, does anyone know how to mirror only the kernel source files? I'm currently mirroring the standard packages, and I want the source files for the kernel only, not for the packages.
[20:21] <akuarius> yes robe a bank lol
[20:22] <Exxon> landono, what kernel are you trying to compile does it have version.. name
[20:22] <trism> landono: there is a separate linux-source package, so you shouldn't need to do anything special to get it (unless you wanted the source with the debian directory as well)
[20:22] <landono> to be honest, I'm not sure, we're running Ubunut 10.04 and I was asked to mirror the kernel sources that we use
[20:23] <resus> hi
[20:23] <resus> how do i see the grub2 menu so i know which default to set?
[20:23] <_Neytiri_> I am trying to get the classic desktop in 11.10 and where do i select that on the login?
[20:23] <resus> without rebooting and counting it of course
[20:24] <ThinkT510> _Neytiri_: select the right session
[20:24] <RoadsterGT> I am running firefox as another user (sudo -u john -H firefox) but i have no sound. It appears it cant connect to alsa. How can i fix that?
[20:24] <Exxon> landono, in 10.04 why will that be ..if only you are trying to something extraordinary..pls let us now about it
[20:24] <ThinkT510> !notunity | _Neytiri_
[20:25] <_Neytiri_> thanks
[20:25] <landono> Alright, to be honest I'm not sure which kernel sources we need, I'll talk to my co workers and find out real quick
[20:25] <Zoohouse> _Neytiri_, When you log in, before you put in your password, you can change your session.
[20:25] <akuarius> any gorgeous girl to skype? lets talk about love
[20:26] <Zoohouse> I think it's time for some one to go.
[20:26] <MonkeyDust> akuarius  please join #ubuntu-offtopic for that kind of chat
[20:26] <ThinkT510> akuarius: take it elsewhere
[20:26] <Pici> MonkeyDust: no please do not join #ubuntu-offtopic for that kind of chat
[20:26] <Exxon> landono, what kernel are you running aleast that you know...for g-sake
[20:26] <MonkeyDust> Pici  you're right
[20:26] <Pici> !floodbots | uh990
[20:28] <landono> So I need to have the source files for 2.6.26
[20:28] <landono> It's for a university assignment, the students have to compile a custom kernel using the source files for 2.6.26
[20:28] <Zoohouse> landono, This might help once you find the kernel source you speak of. It describes how to set up a local repo mirror within your network which sounds like what you have been asked to do. http://www.packtpub.com/article/create-local-ubuntu-repository-using-apt-mirror-apt-cacher
[20:29] <landono> thanks zoohouse, I've been using that tutorial already, I have the repository mostly set up now, I just need to learn how to add the source files for 2.6.26
[20:30] <ThinkT510> landono: 2.6.26 is rather old, 10.04 is lts and uses 2.6.32
[20:30] <landono> actually you're correct, it is 2.6.32, I typed it in wrong
[20:30] <Exxon> landono, is it 2.6.26-3.9
[20:30] <MrPink> i installed ubuntu today-
[20:31] <landono> no, I was misinformed, it is 2.6.32
[20:31] <ThinkT510> !yay | MrPink
[20:31] <Zoohouse> ThinkT510, wow, you guys have bang msgs for a lot of things :D
[20:31] <trism> landono: then you should be fine, the linux-source package will have the tarball for 2.6.32 plus the ubuntu patches
[20:31] <nullucas> Hi, which applications can be considered safe in ubuntu because they are updated automatically for security fixes? For example, I have pidgin 2.6.6, but the lastest is 2.9... where can I discuss this, if this is not the right place? Thanks
[20:31] <akuarius> can i robe a bank with ubuntu?
[20:32] <akuarius> tell me plese i nedd some funds to by a new car
[20:32] <landono> in my repository, I got the packages, but I didn't get the sources, will I need the sources as well for the kernel?
[20:32] <inashdeen> hi, this may be a funny question, but seriously i need an answaer. if let say i put the backlight issue fix (ubuntu 11.04 and ubuntu 11.1) to a computer with no backlight problem, will that cause a problem???
[20:32] <ThinkT510> akuarius: stop that please
[20:32] <MrPink> after booting my computer only prints the word GRUB. but no menu is showing up nor ubuntu ... -.-
[20:32] <akuarius> ok
[20:32] <xangua> !latest | nullucas
[20:32] <RoadsterGT> I am running firefox as another user (sudo -u john -H firefox) but i have no sound. It appears it cant connect to alsa. How can i fix that?
[20:32] <Exxon> landono, http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/                        good luck
[20:32] <arunce> anyone know how to configure the pidgin to start with some flags when i call it in the indicator plugin?
[20:32] <MrPink> any idea what's going on?
[20:32] <ThinkT510> Zoohouse: it helps to private message ubottu ;)
[20:33] <trism> landono: my point is that linux-source is a package containing source code, it is not a source package (package used to build the package), so you should have it
[20:33] <landono> ah ok perfect, so I should be good
[20:33] <landono> thanks a lot
[20:33] <resus> anyone know how to see the grub2 menu list without rebooting?
[20:34] <MrPink> i installed ubuntu today. after booting my computer it only prints the word GRUB. but no menu is showing up nor ubuntu ... -.- any idea what's going on?
[20:34] <ThinkT510> resus: you could look at your /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[20:34] <resus> ThinkT510 it's not in there no os entries at all
[20:34] <akuarius> u need to download a new version of ubuntu
[20:35] <ThinkT510> resus: can you pastebin it?
[20:35] <resus> ThinkT510 i want to change the default os to boot in /etc/default/grub
[20:35] <OerHeks> resus do you use sudo to open that file ? else it would be empty ..
[20:35] <resus> OerHeks it's not empty
[20:35] <MonkeyDust> resus  try /etc/default/grub
[20:35] <Zoohouse> landono, Have you looked at http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ ?
[20:36] <MonkeyDust> ah you know that
[20:36] <resus> are you guys telling me you have OS entries in your /etc/default/grub?
[20:36] <ThinkT510> resus: no, they are in grub.cfg
[20:37] <Zoohouse> MrPink, are you doing a dual boot?
[20:38] <K9> Hello everyone. I am using Acer Travelmate 4740 laptop running Ubuntu 11.04 with Unity. The scroll feature on my touchpad is not working. I found some solutions on the forum but they were for gnome. Please help.
[20:38] <resus> oh /boot/grub/grub.cfg i see menuentry blocks
[20:38] <MrPink> Zoohouse: nope. fresh install. i installed fedora earlier, had some problems too, starting it, but after a time it suddenly worked. then i decided that i want to install ubuntu - clean install. but yeah, no grub-menu ...
[20:39] <resus> that is so awkward to read
[20:39] <ThinkT510> K9: unity is built on top of gnome
[20:39] <resus> is there a tool that parses that so your brain doesn't break reading it?
[20:39] <resus> god what was wrong with menu.lst
[20:40] <MonkeyDust> Myrtti  http://www.linkedin.com/in/clowillaerts
[20:40] <CharminTheMoose> Hey all, I'm running the heliwm window manager and when I start an aterm, I get a BadWindow error. stracing it produces this: http://pastebin.com/mKRS1Wzn some strange thing about the C locales.. any idea what's going on?
[20:40] <ThinkT510> resus: you might need a new brain, or might be quicker for you to just restart and write the list down
[20:40] <Zoohouse> MrPink, do you have more than one hard drive installed on your system?
[20:40] <milen8204> how can I set copiz to default settings ?
[20:41] <MrPink> Zoohouse: yeah, there are two, same brand
[20:41] <resus> ThinkT510 i don't think i'm being unreasonable
[20:41] <mkanyicy> milen8204, compiz?
[20:41] <resus> thanks for the advice though
[20:41] <ThinkT510> resus: you think grub.cfg is complicated?
[20:41] <milen8204> CompizConfig ?
[20:41] <WLU> I cannot seem to mirror displays in ubuntu 11.10. the screen on the laptop is almost halved and the display on the external monitor has the wrong resolution. All is fine if IO do not mirror. Any help is greatly appreciated
[20:41] <Zoohouse> MrPink, did you install everything on the same drive?
[20:42] <MrPink> Zoohouse: yep, i also removed the drive (the cable) to check if theres a conflict ...
[20:43] <nullucas> Thanks, I'm wondering about security fixes, mainly. Which applications should I expect ubuntu to keep safe, and which shouldn't? I hope the stuff that uses the net are safe at least: pidgin, browser, xchat...
[20:44] <MonkeyDust> nullucas  what kind of threats do you have in mind?
[20:44] <ThinkT510> nullucas: if you use a supported version of ubuntu then you will get security updates
[20:44] <MrPink> Zoohouse: maybe its time to throw the hard-drive away - but strange that there are only problems with the mbr ...
[20:45] <MrPink> Zoohouse: is there some way to test the mbr for hard-drive-errors?
[20:46] <Pici> nullucas: All packages in main are definitely supported for ate least 18 months. And you'll be receiving security updates.
[20:46] <Zoohouse> MrPink, maybe but I don't know how.
[20:48] <ssta> if the HD is suspect, bin it and replace it.  HDs are cheap compared to losing the data on them
[20:49] <Zoohouse> MrPink, Here's how to fix your grub if the MBR is messed up. You can use your install CD as a live CD... http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-24113.html
[20:49] <MrPink> Zoohouse: thx for that :D
[20:50] <Zoohouse> MrPink, no problem
[20:55] <arunce> anyone know how to configure the pidgin to start with some flags when I call it in the indicator plugin?
[20:56] <Zoohouse> arunce, try asking in #pidgin
[20:56] <arunce> Zoohouse: but my problem is with indicator plugin... pidgin is fine
[20:57] <trism> arunce: which flags? indicator-messages just invokes the .desktop file, so you could probably add your flags to the Exec line in /usr/share/applications/pidgin.desktop
[20:58] <apwbdjp> trism, clever
[20:59] <ale_> Hi, what is the package I need so as to have a system->preferences->sound -> hardware ??  - I currently only have system->preferences
[20:59] <ale_> this is lubuntu 11.04
[21:00] <xangua> ale_: right clic on the notification sound icon
[21:00] <arunce> trism: modified it, don't work. I had to remove the network manager, since them pidgin failt to find a network
[21:00] <arunce> fails
[21:00] <arunce> "pidgin -f &" works fine
[21:00] <ale_> thanks
[21:00] <ale_> :)
[21:01] <gzy> hi, i'm looking for a way to do a clean ubuntu install, without any bootable media apart from the harddrive itself, possible?
[21:01] <Zoohouse> gzy, like a network install?
[21:02] <gzy> (network is the way i originally installed ubuntu on this computer, and yes it would work, but i'm looking for other options)
[21:03] <trism> arunce: strange, I've never had a problem with pidgin failing because I wasn't using network-manager. but I don't see why: Exec=pidgin -f wouldn't work
[21:05] <uzr007> I luv ubuntu
[21:05] <Zoohouse> gzy, would a usb drive be out of the question?
[21:06] <Zoohouse> uzr007, and Ubuntu luv you
[21:06] <gzy> Zoohouse: i have a funny computer that only boots hdd and lan.
[21:06] <uzr007> Zoohouse :-)
[21:06] <ziyadb> Hi, how do I reload my video driver?
[21:07] <ziyadb> or just the GUI
[21:07] <ziyadb> how do I reload GNOME?
[21:07] <apwbdjp> gzy, you could do an install on another computer, and dd it into that hard drive
[21:08] <dr3mro> hello , looking for Todo app , time managment app .. with indicator support >> any help ?
[21:08] <gzy> Zoohouse: i found https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux#Alternate_CD_Alternate_Method which looks promising, but looks a little complicated
[21:08] <Zoohouse> dr3mro, if you open synaptic and do a search for time management, you will find some with good descriptions.
[21:08] <apwbdjp> gzy, alternate CD still needs a CD
[21:09] <Si2100> Hi Guys, do you now if Steam is coming to linux / ubunt ?
[21:09] <Pici> Si2100: Ask Valve.
[21:10] <Zoohouse> gzy, you need to boot onto something to do it. If you have 2 hard drives maybe you can boot onto one and install on the other?
[21:10] <gzy> i would imagine it should be possible to startup the installer from ubuntu somehow, wipe the hdd and install, after a new mbr / boot loader is written the computer should be able to boot from it's own hdd
[21:10] <gzy> Zoohouse: would that work with 2 partitions?
[21:10] <xangua> no, but there is desura Si2100 http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/11/desura%E2%80%99s-gem/
[21:11] <Zoohouse> gzy, not sure. Might be fun to google :)
[21:11] <JWFoxJr> Si2100: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Steam+for+Linux
[21:11] <apwbdjp> gzy, did you consider the installation on another machine?
[21:11] <annath> back again. So, I am still having trouble with Ubuntu booting to a blank screen. Nomodeset didn't work for me. :| Are there any other fixes for it?
[21:11] <gzy> Zoohouse: k, i'll look into it, just asked here in case there's a method i'm missing.
[21:11] <ActionParsnip> annath: which video chip do you use?
[21:11] <trism> arunce: oh, you may need to log out/back in after changing the file, because I don't know that indicator-messages watches the files for changes (so it may only parse them once on startup)
[21:12] <gzy> apwbdjp: but how do i move the contents the of the disk (while i'm booted into the old install? ) and won't unmatching hardware be a problem?
[21:12] <yosemite> Hello!
[21:13] <annath> the card is an nvidia geforce 9 series built by pny
[21:13] <gzy> (i did hear people install windows like that : move the hdd into a sane laptop, install windows, move drive back in and solve hardware problems)
[21:13] <apwbdjp> gzy, unlike windows, ubuntu can be moved to a completely different machine and still work without much troubles
[21:13] <annath> this motherboard unfortunately doesn't have onboard graphics
[21:13] <ActionParsnip> annath: try the boot option:  nouveau.blacklist=1
[21:13] <annath> ll
[21:13] <annath> kk*
[21:13] <yosemite> In ssh. How can I transfer files from device to computer?
[21:14] <MonkeyDust> yosemite  with scp
[21:14] <gzy> apwbdjp: i do have a fresh install of 11.10 on another laptop, could you give me some keywords to google as to how to move it onto the old comp?
[21:14] <_Neytiri_> !classic
[21:14] <Zoohouse> gzy, I'm guessing it's the same concept as using a USB drive to boot/install Ubuntu on the hard drive but using another drive instead....
[21:14] <_Neytiri_> !notunity
[21:15] <ActionParsnip> yosemite: use scp, nautilus can connect to sshfs
[21:15] <apwbdjp> gzy, that might be tricky from within the installation itself, can you take out that hard drive and plug it somewhere else?
[21:15] <tapout> hey guys, what is another option that is awesome other than unity?  Unity is not for me...  I've tried to like it, there is no way I can.
[21:15] <yosemite> Alright thanks guys
[21:15] <ActionParsnip> tapout: gnome-shell
[21:15] <diatomaceous> tapout: I'm having fun with gnome3
[21:15] <ActionParsnip> tapout: or install xfce4 and use xfce which feels and smells like gnome2
[21:16] <tapout> I'll do gnome-shell
[21:16] <annath> nouveau.blacklist=1 didn't work on it's own, I'll try it in combination with nomodeset and see what happens
[21:16] <samj190494> hey, how come i can't get to the ubuntu music store through rhythmbox anymore? there isn't the option in the sidebar and i can't find anything in the options
[21:16] <ActionParsnip> diatomaceous: unity is a shell for gnome3
[21:16] <tapout> gnome3 = unity, no?
[21:16] <ActionParsnip> tapout: unity is a shell for gnome3
[21:16] <MeirD> Hello
[21:16] <Zoohouse> MeirD, hi
[21:16] <MeirD> I just installed ubuntu and I have microsoft webcam
[21:16] <MonkeyDust> samj190494  F9, sidepane
[21:16] <gzy> apwbdjp, Zoohouse: I was just after some convenience.. moving out the hdd is more tedious than doing a lan install. the only reason i don't want to do a lan install is i only have a tiny cable and the router tucked away. so i'd have to take the lap to the office and stay afterhours ...
[21:17] <ActionParsnip> MeirD: if you run cheese, do you see yourself?
[21:17] <MeirD> connecting the usb to my laptop does nothing... how can ubuntu recognize it?
[21:17] <samj190494> MonkeyDust, i have the sidepane open and it isn't there
[21:17] <gzy> i was just hoping that there's some magical way to install ubuntu fresh from whithin itself.
[21:17] <MeirD> apt-get install cheese?
[21:17] <ActionParsnip> MeirD: its part of a default install but if it's not then run the command you gave (prepend with sudo)
[21:18] <MonkeyDust> samj190494  edit > plugins, you find it there?
[21:18] <MeirD> ok, trying
[21:18] <samj190494> MonkeyDust, there is an option for the magnetude and jamendo store but no ubuntu one
[21:19] <MeirD> I see myself
[21:19] <annath> no joy from nouveau.blacklist=1 :(
[21:19] <ActionParsnip> MeirD: cool, its working then
[21:19] <Zoohouse> MeirD, yes, sudo apt-get install cheese
[21:19] <orzel> hello. during an update to oneiric through ssh, there was a conflict on a file (cupsd). I did 'suspend update to check file', but now  i dont know how to go back to the update. 'screen -r' doesn't work, but ps aux shows the process is still there: ├─oneiric(3416)───dpkg(25401)───bash(6071)
[21:19] <apwbdjp> gzy, I understand..
[21:19] <orzel> i can't go up with history to see if this was explained when suspending
[21:19] <ActionParsnip> annath: delete the: quiet splash       boot options, you can then watch the boot
[21:20] <orzel> i can ssh to port 1022, but this doesn't help neither
[21:20] <annath> k
[21:20] <Zoohouse> gzy, the laptop doesn't have a CD drive?
[21:20] <orzel> googling is of no help because 'suspend' raises all 'suspend to disk' questions, which is not the problem here
[21:20] <MeirD> good
[21:20] <MeirD> only problem
[21:20] <MeirD> is that the built in camera comes with mic
[21:20] <MeirD> and it does work
[21:20] <gzy> Zoohouse: it's a toshiba portege m200, only boot's from a couple of specific toshiba made cd drives. and network.
[21:21] <apwbdjp> orzel, tried fg?
[21:21] <ActionParsnip> MeirD: ok then is the mic set as the input device in sound settings
[21:21] <orzel> apwbdjp:  yes, this was my first attempt : 'no job'
[21:21] <MeirD> ok, ill try that
[21:21] <ActionParsnip> orzel: try:  ubuntu suspend <model of system>
[21:21] <Zoohouse> MeirD, sudo apt-get install cheese.swiss can also be used if you have a web cam from Switzerland. ;)
[21:21] <orzel> apwbdjp: actually i had to kind of quit screen with 'x'
[21:21] <orzel> ActionParsnip: sorry??? there's no 'ubuntu' command
[21:22] <ActionParsnip> orzel: in your searches online....not terminal
[21:22] <Zoohouse> gzy, do you have ubuntu on the laptop now and you want to upgrade?
[21:22] <orzel> ActionParsnip: ah, k :)
[21:23] <orzel> ActionParsnip: but 'ubuntu suspend' will always show hardware suspend stuff, not 'update suspend'
[21:23] <gzy> Zoohouse: yeah, when win crashed and burned i installed ubuntu since linux was the only thing i actually could install on it (via lan), and ever since gutsy i've been upgrading.
[21:23] <orzel> and of course, the db is locked so i can't just start it again/over
[21:23] <gzy> i wanted to clean it up and do a fresh install, since i've finally got a new laptop.
[21:23] <ActionParsnip> orzel: true but you want it for a particular system
[21:24] <rotor_> hi everyone
[21:24] <orzel> ActionParsnip: no, i dont care about hardware suspend
[21:24] <orzel> i have a process 'oneiric-dpkg-bash' i'd like to go back to
[21:24] <orzel> i'd like to resume my update
[21:25] <ActionParsnip> gzy: if you've been upgrading since gutsy it may be time for a clean install, shake off the old cobwebs and such :)
[21:25] <Zoohouse> gzy, seems like the options are lan install or lan upgrade... If you upgrade, here's a few tools that will help you clean up the system a bit: http://zfranciscus.wordpress.com/2010/01/29/great-tools-to-clean-your-ubuntu/
[21:25] <annath> I didn't see anything. :|
[21:25] <ActionParsnip> !aptfix | orzel
[21:25] <apwbdjp> orzel, at worst, you could kill the update, apt-get can resume without much danger, right?
[21:25] <newb> People, I'm with a problem here. My gnome 3.2 installation is broken on 11.10, but I discovered some minutes ago this: if I start gnome from lightdm I receive only my wallpaper, but if I start X with "startx /usr/bin/gnome-shell " sounds like all is working.
[21:25] <gzy> Zoohouse: thanks
[21:26] <orzel> ubottu:  no crash, i just choosed 'z' when aptitude was asking about a config file conflict. 'z' stands to 'suspend update to check the file. File is checked, but i dont know how to go back to the aptitude process that held the lock on db
[21:26] <annath> If I don't do anything to the boot parameters I see the ubuntu logo and then black... without quiet and splash but with nomodeset I see nothing at all. I'm going to try it again without quiet, splash, and nomodeset
[21:26] <orzel> ActionParsnip:  no crash, i just choosed 'z' when aptitude was asking about a config file conflict. 'z' stands to 'suspend update to check the file. File is checked, but i dont know how to go back to the aptitude process that held the lock on db
[21:26] <orzel> ActionParsnip: it's not 'broken', just 'hidden', if you prefer
[21:27] <ActionParsnip> orzel: but the packages are still locked by the process, if you run that it will kill it and free up the packages, then continue the install
[21:28] <annath> would vt.handoff=7 have anything to do with it?
[21:28] <LetterRip> Hi, the latest update of the pulseaudio seems to have messed up audio so now it seems really choppy
[21:28] <ActionParsnip> annath: try it
[21:28] <annath> I got nothing with quiet, splash and nomodeset removed
[21:28] <LetterRip> any way to revert it?
[21:29] <orzel> ActionParsnip: it clearly stated that it was just suspended and i could go back. It probably said how i have to do, but it's not on the screen anymore. I'd like to know this information : how to go back
[21:29] <ActionParsnip> annath: if you intend to only install ubuntu or are ok with partitioning, then you can use the alternate ISO and install in text mode
[21:29] <LetterRip> It is choppy even when there is very little load
[21:29] <shomon> Hi, what is the package I need so as to have a system->preferences->sound -> hardware ??  - I currently only have system->preferences - the reason is my audio is gone and videos until recently were playing double speed, after an update
[21:29] <guntbert> orzel: type         fg
[21:29] <annath> Well I already had it installed and set up from a clean install, I am thinking that I may have to do that though
[21:29] <arunce> trism: that's it. It's working now. Thank you.
[21:30] <annath> I don't have anything important here so I can format and rebuild if I need to
[21:30] <ActionParsnip> LetterRip: try:  killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse; rm ~/.pulse-cookie     wait a few seconds, then try sound apps
[21:30] <LetterRip> it seems that it might be the 'rewind' bug since it seems to repeat some chunks of audio
[21:30] <annath> I saw an ubuntu logo and then nothing that time
[21:30] <annath> I was also trying to run a virtual machine of windows as well
[21:30] <annath> but I guess I can do that on another machine
[21:31] <orzel> guntbert: everybody tells me so. fg doesn't work, there's no bg process. It says 'no task'
[21:31] <annath> I just don't know what I might've done to cause it to suddenly stop working because it was fine for a couple of weeks
[21:31] <annath> I don
[21:31] <annath> I don't *think* I change the video driver or anything like that
[21:31] <nelson777br> hello, is it possible to su to a sytem user ?
[21:31] <xo0t> hey, I just upgraded to 11.10 .. but I was wondering how I can go back to the old desktop look??
[21:32] <apwbdjp> nelson777br, yes, if you have his user password, then su username
[21:32] <guntbert> orzel: so you closed the session where you started it - just kill it like has been suggested
[21:32] <elgaton> !nounity | xo0t
[21:32] <austeregrim> anyone know what /home/.cache/checkbox.log is from? it ended up being 22gb in size
[21:32] <orzel> guntbert:  ok...
[21:32] <nelson777br> what is the default password for kernoops ?
[21:32] <elgaton> nelson777br: sudo -u username
[21:33] <orzel> guntbert: what about my config file (cupsd.conf) ? it doesn't ask me anymore..? it forgot about it?
[21:33] <Viking667> I've got a weird problem when trying to run synaptic on oneiric..
[21:33] <nelson777br> apwbdjp
[21:33] <apwbdjp> nelson777br, yes?
[21:34] <elgaton> Viking667: which is?
[21:34] <Viking667> I got this error:  E: The value 'natty' is invalid for APT::Default-Release as such a release is not available in the sources
[21:34] <guntbert> orzel: sorry, no idea, I only saw the last minutes
[21:34] <nelson777br> apwbdjp: I tried to su to kernoops, nobody and sync
[21:34] <MonkeyDust> Viking667  try disabling the natty resources
[21:34] <apwbdjp> nelson777br, are there actual user accounts?
[21:34] <Viking667> ahh, right. I didn't think of that. Thanks.
[21:34] <nelson777br> apwbdjp: kernoops has a password that I don't know,
[21:34] <apwbdjp> these*
[21:35] <nelson777br> apwbdjp: yes, I'm using ubuntu 11.10
[21:35] <orzel> guntbert: i was just updating, asked to see a file, and now i have to kill the update process and the file is not updated. This feels bad :-(
[21:35] <ActionParsnip> xo0t: if you install xfce4, you can use xfce and it will look and smell like Gnome2
[21:35] <newb> People, in what file I find the login manager system list to boot?
[21:35] <guntbert> orzel: just start the update process again
[21:36] <ActionParsnip> nelson777br: if you run:  sudo -i    you can then su to any username
[21:36] <guntbert> nelson777br: kernoops is not intended for login
[21:36] <nelson777br> guntbert: but it's possible to login to it ?
[21:36] <elgaton> Newb: Are you using KDE or GNOME?
[21:36] <guntbert> ActionParsnip: kernoops has /bin/false...
[21:36] <ActionParsnip> guntbert: dang
[21:36] <guntbert> nelson777br: no
[21:37] <guntbert> nelson777br: why do you want to?
[21:37] <FightOppression> Hi, since yesterday my external USB wireless adapter is not recognized anymore on Kububtu 11.10 64 bit. I don't know what I did. Anybody can help? Here is the output of the dmesg command and the lsusb: http://pastebin.com/6zxkd4Vu http://pastebin.com/VsZF7L59
[21:38] <qmr_> My audio is skipping
[21:38] <qmr_> in flash videos
[21:38] <ActionParsnip> newb: /etc/lightdm/users.conf
[21:38] <qmr_> in vlc
[21:38] <qmr_> in mplayer
[21:38] <FloodBot1> qmr_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:38] <qmr_> wtf
[21:38] <ActionParsnip> qmr_: quit the ENTER hammering
[21:38] <ActionParsnip> qmr_: you can write long long inputs and it will not scroll the channel
[21:38] <qmr_> quit not telling me how to fix audio
[21:39] <ActionParsnip> qmr_: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh; chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh; ./alsa-info.sh
[21:40] <nelson777br> let me tell you what I really want: my system is reporting different free disk space in baobab, df and gdmap. I have a 300gb disk and df reports 0 bytes of free disk space. Baobab reports that I'm only using 57gb of disk space, even when I used with sudo baobab. So I think there is a possibility of some user with system credential can be hidding some files from me. So I want to login as system to see if the results are different
[21:40] <nelson777br> also baobab and gdmap are reporting 15 gb free
[21:41] <guntbert> nelson777br: this is not windows, there is no such thing as a "system account", just use sudo
[21:41] <diatomaceous> guntbert: Uh.. root?
[21:41] <Viking667> hm. How do I change the default release, or what program do I use to change the resources?
[21:42] <nelson777br> I thought the kernel had a special credential, hasn't it ?
[21:42] <qmr_> ActionParsnip: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=33e347bed88beba42ad1c7316d2f3ed95167a8cf
[21:42] <diatomaceous> nelson777br: http://blog.sudobits.com/2011/09/05/how-to-login-as-root-in-ubuntu-11-10/
[21:42] <guntbert> diatomaceous: and what do you suppose would sudo give him?
[21:42] <Viking667> I've already looked at software sources in gnome-control-center, all natty sources are disabled.
[21:42] <ActionParsnip> Viking667: resources inn what way?
[21:42] <diatomaceous> sudo is fine for one command at a time
[21:42] <ThinkT510> Viking667: default release? there are offspins: xubuntu kubuntu lubuntu... is that what you mean?
[21:42] <diatomaceous> but there most certainly is a system account, it's called root.. and you can become root by doing sudo su -
[21:42] <nelson777br> guntbert: I thought the kernel had a special credential, hasn't it ?
[21:43] <Viking667> ActionParsnip: I'm getting complaints from synaptic, saying that APT::Default-release is invalid
[21:43] <guntbert> diatomaceous: wrong, you can use sudo -i, if you really need it
[21:43] <Myrtti> diatomaceous: sudo su isn't a nice way of doing it
[21:43] <qmr_> ActionParsnip: if you're going to be a dear an fix this useless crap it would be great if you fixed my mic at the same time :P
[21:43] <guntbert> nelson777br: no
[21:43] <diatomaceous> isn't nice?
[21:43] <FightOppression> Anybody?
[21:43] <ThinkT510> !attitude | qmr_
[21:44] <Viking667> ActionParsnip: the error is:  E: The value 'natty' is invalid for APT::Default-Release as such a release is not available in the sources
[21:44] <Viking667> that's what I get for starting up Synaptic on oneiric.
[21:44] <annath> Is there anyway to disable everything but text or boot to a command line so I could boot to my existing install of Ubuntu at all? I can't seem to find anything that works
[21:44] <Viking667> I seem to have missed something.
[21:44] <nelson777br> any special reason for the free disk space are being reported with different value in Baobab, GDMap and bash's df  ?
[21:44] <ThinkT510> !text | annath
[21:44] <ssta> "sudo -i" and "sudo su -" are (amlost) equivalent.  The only real difference is what DISPLAY will be set to
[21:44] <annath> thanks
[21:44] <nelson777br> besides partions error I mean
[21:45] <newb> elgaton: Gnome 2.1
[21:45] <newb> elgaton: Gnome 3.2 *
[21:45] <ActionParsnip> qmr_: try: http://paste.ubuntu.com/755396/
[21:45] <guntbert> ssta: wrong, there are a lot of other shell variables set differently
[21:45] <qmr_> dammit why
[21:45] <qmr_> What's the problem?  It was working before
[21:45] <ActionParsnip> Viking667: can you give a pastebin of the output of:  grep -R natty /etc/apt     please
[21:46] <elgaton> Newb: Then I can't help you at the moment since I use KDE/KDM... try searching in /usr/share or use Synaptic to look at the list of installed files for GDM, maybe the answer is there
[21:46] <ActionParsnip> qmr_: no idea, that is a rehashed command from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure
[21:46] <Viking667> all lines commented out, unless I missed one.
[21:46] <Viking667> I've got a lot of erm, stuff.
[21:46] <newb> elgaton: ok, thankyou anyway :)
[21:46] <ThinkT510> ActionParsnip: no offense but you shouldn't need a ppa to fix sound
[21:47] <ActionParsnip> ThinkT510: it can help
[21:47] <annath> aha, it booted to text mode. I'm going to try removing any nvidia drivers and see what happens
[21:47] <ssta> guntbert: nothing that really matters
[21:47] <elgaton> newb: Not a problem :)
[21:47] <ActionParsnip> ThinkT510: its also on the official documentation, so I use it
[21:47] <MrOpposite> Hi, what happend to the Karmic Koala repositories?
[21:47] <ActionParsnip> Viking667: check in software sources to make sure they all say oneiric
[21:47] <ThinkT510> !karmic | MrOpposite
[21:47] <ActionParsnip> MrOpposite: karmic is EOL
[21:47] <bosyi> hi. hi to know by idVendor and idProduct caracteristics of my bluetooth. i dont't know i have 2.0 or 3.0
[21:47] <MrOpposite> Oh
[21:47] <MrOpposite> To bad
[21:47] <Viking667> mmmm.
[21:47] <guntbert> ssta: not true in that generality, don't suggest it here please
[21:48] <MrOpposite> It was the latest release to have virtually full support for the intel GMA500 graphics
[21:48] <MrOpposite> or practically*
[21:48] <ActionParsnip> MrOpposite: karmic was the balls :(
[21:48] <nelson777br> there is any dirs not scanned by baobab when I run it with gksudo baobab ?
[21:49] <qmr_> ActionParsnip: that wants to install 259mB of stuff
[21:49] <ActionParsnip> qmr_: yikes, which packages?
[21:49] <ssta> guntbert: please explain to me what's so horrendously different, and what would break? http://paste.ubuntu.com/755403/
[21:50] <annath> okay so for future reference, purging the nvidia drivers did the trick
[21:50] <annath> thanks for all the help everyone!
[21:50] <annath> :D
[21:50] <qmr_> ActionParsnip: erhm... nevermind.  I just ran it again and now it's doing its thing.  ... must have been trying to upgrade before
[21:50] <ActionParsnip> qmr_: hehe
[21:51] <aa__> hello
[21:51] <qmr_> ActionParsnip: yea, still skipping
[21:51] <aa__> Someone can help me with enable ssh?
[21:51] <ChogyDan> anyone know where the dkms build logs are?  if they exist?
[21:51] <ActionParsnip> MrOpposite: https://code.launchpad.net/~gma500/+archive/emgd-fix?field.series_filter=oneiric    seems to mention the video chip, not used it myself, could be useful
[21:52] <ssta> aa__: install "openssh-server" probably?
[21:52] <aa__> yes
[21:52] <ActionParsnip> aa__: install openssh-server and it will be good to go
[21:53] <MrOpposite> Besides
[21:53] <MrOpposite> Upgrading ubuntu would require a reboot
[21:53] <MrOpposite> and I am 3 days from getting a full 100 days of uptime :D
[21:54] <ThinkT510> MrOpposite: cool, the most i've got was 65 days
[21:54] <ActionParsnip> MrOpposite: hehe, I know the pain
[21:54] <nelson777br> My disk is a ext4 with 300gb.  Baobab is reporting that I am using 57gb, but the free disk space is only 14.8 gb. If I run Baobab with gksudo, I get the sama results. How can I know where is the rest of the disk space ?
[21:55] <Dj_FlyBy[ms]> having some issues with 10.04 and my Audigy 2 sound card... Did a fresh install and it doesn't seem to see the audigy. I disabled the onboard sound int he bios already but in the pulseaudio settings it still says "internal" Any help or links to docs are appreciated
[21:55] <MrOpposite> Well I'm gonna wait a while with upgrading ubuntu anyway, because I'm thinking of deprecating the system as a video system anyway... And buy something more powerful
[21:55] <MrOpposite> Then use the fit-pc2 purely as a server-device
[21:56] <MrOpposite> Wait with*
[21:56] <MrOpposite> uhm
[21:56] <MrOpposite> That whole sentence was messed up
[21:56]  * ActionParsnip wants a fitpc :)
[21:56] <MrOpposite> I think I changed my mind of how to phrase myself like 3 times while typing
[21:56] <pp7> nelson777br: there could be deleted files being held open by the system
[21:56] <pp7> nelson777br: did u reboot yet?
[21:56] <MrOpposite> ActionParsnip it's REALLY powerful for it's size
[21:56] <aa__> About ssh
[21:56] <nelson777br> actually no
[21:57] <aa__> can you help me with a teameiwer?
[21:57] <BluesKaj> is the uptime thing some kind of pi**ing contest , MrOpposite, ThinkT510 :)
[21:57] <nelson777br> can't I do this without reboot ?
[21:57] <ActionParsnip> aa__: what else do you need, install openssh-server and you have a server
[21:57] <MonkeyDust> nelson777br  try tree -h|less
[21:57] <pp7> nelson777br: unfortunately that's the only way i solved that problem
[21:57] <ActionParsnip> MrOpposite: I'm holding out for a cotton candy :)
[21:57] <aa__> yes but i change to port 2000
[21:57] <aa__> and there is not working now
[21:58] <MrOpposite> BluesKaj not really, but almost breaking the 100 days line is a big thing in my eyes
[21:58] <ActionParsnip> aa__: then edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[21:58] <MrOpposite> Especially since it's just 3 days left
[21:58] <ActionParsnip> aa__: change the port number there and restart the service, done
[21:59] <ActionParsnip> aa__: if you are connecting from a terminal, you will need to run:  ssh -X user@server -p 2000
[21:59] <jeward> Can anyone help me get sound working on an old Mac Pro under Ubuntu 11.10?
[22:00] <ThinkT510> BluesKaj: does it have to be a competition?

[22:04] <ActionParsnip> newb: what if you select Unity2D?
[22:04] <Gentoo64> CQ, it should be in the kernel...
[22:04] <Gentoo64> CQ, what prog is trying to access it?

[22:05] <Gentoo64> what happens if you modprobe sha256
[22:05] <CQ> sudo cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/disk/by-uuid/....
[22:05] <jeward> ActionParsnip: Fedora forums suggest removing pulseaudio.
[22:05] <ActionParsnip> jeward: i see, does it have any other model info?
[22:06] <CQ> Gentoo64: Check that kernel supports aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 cipher (check syslog for more info).  this is the original error message from cryptsetup

[22:10] <ActionParsnip> newb: can you give a PASTEBIN of the output of: sudo lshw -C display; lsb-release -a
[22:10] <nelson777br> pp7: the case is that earlier syslog and kern.log were with very big incorrect sizes . So I deleted them, but the space they occupied were not liberated.
[22:10] <MonkeyDust> nelson777br  problem solved? i just found something

[22:11] <ActionParsnip> newb: np :)
[22:11] <pp7> MonkeyDust: what did u find?
[22:11] <nelson777br> pp7: I think that's because the kernel uses this files, so I delete 2 files connected to running processes. Do you agree with this ?
[22:11] <MonkeyDust> nelson777br  nest time, try this: sudo find / -size +1000M -exec file {} \; 2>/dev/null
[22:11] <pp7> nelson777br: precisely
[22:11] <nelson777br> pp7: right thanks
[22:11] <hot2trot> can someone tell me when I try to use tab completion with a soft link I have to press tab once to make the symbolic link complete, and then tab a second time to get the trailing "/"  is there some way to fix this?
[22:11] <paulcos> I was wondering when i want to install my system manually partitionated i just need to leve un-partitioned the 1Mb first sectors of the disk?
[22:11] <paulcos> and no more?
[22:11] <CQ> Gentoo64: yes, nothing helpful, except the modprobe lines, all of which haven't helped...
[22:11] <paulcos> Or do i need a especial grub version
[22:12] <paulcos> this is for last stable release
[22:12] <apwbdjp> paulcos, You don't need to leave anything unpartitionned..
[22:12] <paulcos> !uefi
[22:13] <paulcos> aperson, but when i let installer run automatic it let 1Mb free space there
[22:13] <paulcos> apwbdjp^^
[22:14] <paulcos> 1Mb freespace at the begining at the disk
[22:14] <nelson777br> MonkeyDust: what does the 'file {} \; 2>/dev/null' part ?
[22:15] <nelson777br> MonkeyDust: shows file type ?
[22:15] <apwbdjp> paulcos, hum.. I don't know, actually I never let the installer do it automatically. I just put my swap partition at the very beggining of the drive, followed by / and /home, no free space anywhere
[22:15] <MonkeyDust> nelson777br  or better still: sudo find / -size +1000M -exec ls -lh {} \; 2>/dev/null
[22:16] <paulcos> apwbdjp, i re-call my samsung laptop have UEFI
[22:16] <MonkeyDust> it shows all the files bigger than 1GB
[22:16] <paulcos> if were other situation, i dint came here to ask
[22:16] <nelson777br> MonkeyDust: right
[22:16] <nelson777br> pp7, MonkeyDust: thanks to both of you. Helped a lot.
[22:17] <paulcos> as i said ubuntu installer seems to detect the UEFI and automatically let the first ~1024K of the disk unparitionted
[22:17] <aa__> how can i change password on ssh?
[22:17] <pp7> nelson777br: np
[22:17] <pp7> aa__: passwd
[22:17] <MonkeyDust> nelson777br  glad to help
[22:17] <thenightfly> Hi there, using ubuntu 11.10 and trying to connect to a wireless network with WPA using a 802.11n adapter, and in the "network authentication required" dialogue the connect button is greyed out for anything other than 5 characters...
[22:17] <paulcos> but now i need a custom install because my own needs, so i was wondering what else should i care of when doing this by hand
[22:17] <apwbdjp> paulcos, oh.. I thought you were using an MBR.. Sorry, I don't know much about that.
[22:17] <fluvvell> Having recently upgraded my dads i5 based PC to 11.10, we don't seem to have the logout button at the bottom of his userid menu on the right.  Is there a way to reset the menus, and get default buttons?
[22:18] <pp7> aa__: sudo passwd for changing root password if you're a sudoer
[22:18] <paulcos> mbr, no  i dont
[22:18] <apwbdjp> a DOS MBR*
[22:18] <ActionParsnip> pp7: don't advise that please
[22:18] <pp7> lol k
[22:18] <pp7> y?
[22:18] <ActionParsnip> !noroot | pp7
[22:18] <ActionParsnip> pp7: simple really
[22:18] <pp7> ok
[22:18] <shomon> I don't have a volume control, how do I launch some kind of sound config from the terminal?
[22:18] <pp7> !wfm
[22:18] <ActionParsnip> shomon: alsamixer
[22:18] <vademecum> how come when I set the title in lxterminal tabs->name tab, nothing appears, it stays at username@compname?
[22:19] <shomon> thanks
[22:19] <shomon> ActionParsnip, it gives all on high but no sound comes out when I play videos on flash
[22:19] <shomon> or mpeg
[22:19] <newb> ActionParsnip: My system freezed on "PCI (sysfs)" while running that command. It's a netbook "ASUS EEE-PC 1005-HA". Stopped woring after some updates
[22:20] <mkanyicy> shomon, is there sound when you play other files?
[22:20] <ActionParsnip> vademecum: may help http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766317
[22:20] <ActionParsnip> newb: it'll take a while
[22:20] <mkanyicy> shomon, like ogg mp3 etc
[22:20] <Viking667> hm. Can't find anything here natty-related, but synaptic's still insisting APT::Default-release is set to natty
[22:21] <ActionParsnip> shomon: can you give a pastebin of the output of:   lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'
[22:21] <olividir> afternoon
[22:21] <olividir> I am wondering, does anyone else feel like ubuntu 11.10 feel very heavy to run?
[22:21] <pp7> nope
[22:22] <olividir> multitasking is out of the question for me
[22:22] <ActionParsnip> olividir: depends on the DE :)
[22:22] <pp7> olividir: heavy in what way?
[22:22] <olividir> well, I am not a big comp. geek,
[22:23] <ActionParsnip> olividir: on low end hardware, use LXDE and you'll free up more resources for your apps
[22:24] <shomon> sorry ActionParsnip I missed that first time around
[22:24] <newb> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/F2MiD5Ey
[22:24] <ActionParsnip> (22:21:03) ActionParsnip: shomon: can you give a pastebin of the output of:   lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'
[22:25] <shomon> ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/GA6Y0Zyg
[22:25] <SpiderFred> hi I use openvpn but I cant understand how can I use it as a proxy, what I have to do to bind it to some port
[22:25] <ActionParsnip> newb: nearly the same GPU here
[22:26] <ActionParsnip> newb: you may need an xorg.conf file to define better display options, otherwise you should be ok.
[22:28] <iceroot> some tools (e.g. grep) says an option is defined y POSIX, does every GNU-tool support the whole POSIX range + GNU-extensions? so for example if i am using POSIX-only-options it will run on GNU/Ubuntu and UNIX
[22:28] <ActionParsnip> shomon: try: sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-installer flashplugin-nonfree; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[22:28] <newb> ActionParsnip: news, I'm (accidentally)started X with root and gnome-shell started. I removed all .* files from my user folder and tryed start X with normal user but no success for gnome-shell
[22:28] <newb> ActionParsnip: shoud I post my xorg.conf?
[22:28] <chilicuil> stupid question, do I need to install cups to print to a ldp server?
[22:29] <ActionParsnip> newb: you shouldn't have one by default, or did you make one?
[22:29] <SoWhat> hello! Can you tell me, how to disable this "Unlock Keyring" message every time ubuntu starts?
[22:29] <shomon> thanks ActionParsnip will do.
[22:29] <ActionParsnip> chilicuil: its part of a default install
[22:29] <chilicuil> ActionParsnip: I'm using the minimal cd, so it's not installed in my system yet
[22:29] <_jason> SoWhat: if your keyring password is the same as your login password, then using your password to login should avoid the prompt for the keyring password
[22:30] <ActionParsnip> chilicuil: you'll need it to print to anything then
[22:30] <SoWhat> _jason: I am using automatic login
[22:30] <_jason> SoWhat: then you must enter the password or remove the password (then your keyring will not be as secure)
[22:30] <newb> ActionParsnip: Trying solve another problem here I created one and I think I still have it, let me see
[22:30] <chilicuil> ActionParsnip: that's what I though, thx =)
[22:31] <SoWhat> _jason: okay, can you tell me how to remove it?
[22:31] <_jason> SoWhat: I don't know offhand.  Explore gnome keyring options
[22:31] <SoWhat> _jason: okay, tnx ;)
[22:31] <Phr3d13> How do I repair messed up video drivers without gui or internet?
[22:31] <WarDekar> hey, i'm trying to apt-get install some things and was getting 404 errors, so i ran apt-get update and i'm getting 404 errors again... I'm running Karmic Koala, any ideas?
[22:32] <_jason> Phr3d13: depends on what "messed up means" I would guess
[22:32] <_jason> !karmic | WarDekar
[22:32] <_jason> WarDekar: you need to upgrade to a supported release, « /msg ubottu !upgrade » for instructions
[22:32] <WarDekar> oh so it's no longer supported with aptitude i guess
[22:32] <Phr3d13> When I get past grub, my screen turns into a purple garbled mess
[22:32] <olividir> hello?? sorry internet problem
[22:33] <iceroot> !eol | WarDekar
[22:33] <olividir> pp7: you should know I made a clean install of win 7 on the computer, and recently got ubuntu 11.10 as a second OS and everything is slow
[22:34] <Phr3d13> And nomodeset caused the boot to freezr/hang/lock up
[22:34] <fluvvell> After upgrading from 11.04 to 11.10, the shutdown button is missing!!! How does one get it back?
[22:35] <newb> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/JPbFDTTQ
[22:35] <Viking667> sigh...
[22:35] <silas428> I have a webpage that runs a bash script that tries to get a file through SCP, apache is trying to scp as user apache instead of the user I specify in the command line, I have already tried setting the suid bit on the file. any help?
[22:36] <Viking667> fluvvell: it's sort of replaced by clicking on your username, and choosing Shut Down
[22:36] <_jason> silas428: suid doesn't work on shell scripts
[22:36] <iceroot> silas428: what? ssh-access for www-data?
[22:36] <fluvvell> Viking667, no such option sorry.
[22:36] <F3RR1S> so i just updated from natty to 11.10 (with gnome) and now i do not have a menu to get to my apps... the bar that was supposed to show up on the left side is not there...
[22:36] <F3RR1S> could really use some help getting them
[22:36] <Viking667> weird. maybe it's just my system that has some broken stuff.
[22:37] <silas428> iceroot: its just a script that SSHs into another box to get a file
[22:37] <iceroot> silas428: ah ok i thought a local access
[22:37] <fluvvell> Viking667, and on my other ubuntu machine with a virtual machine of 11.10 running there is a shutdown button menu.
[22:37] <F3RR1S> or at least the unity left-bar app menu thing.... not sure exactly what it is called
[22:37] <iceroot> F3RR1S: maybe "unity --reset" will help
[22:37] <silas428> _jason: any suggestions on what I could do?
[22:37] <F3RR1S> does 11.10 support using the gnome-desktop?
[22:38] <F3RR1S> i will try that icroot
[22:38] <_jason> silas428: can you explain exactly what you want to do?
[22:38] <F3RR1S> iceroot, thanks
[22:38] <fluvvell> iceroot, what does unity --reset do?
[22:38] <iceroot> !nounity | F3RR1S
[22:38] <iceroot> fluvvell: restoring the default-config
[22:38] <plouffe> .
[22:38] <fluvvell> iceroot, sweet, maybe that is what I'm looking for
[22:38] <iceroot> Gnurdux: gnome-shell = gnome3, gnome-panel = something like gnome2
[22:38] <silas428> _jason: have a user use a form that calls a PHP script, based on the user input the PHP script will call a bash script that SCPs a file for the user to download
[22:38] <iceroot> Gnurdux: sorry wrong nick
[22:39] <newb> ActionParsnip: My problem can br xorg.conf then?
[22:39] <iceroot> F3RR1S:  gnome-shell = gnome3, gnome-panel = something like gnome2
[22:39] <F3RR1S> unity is trying to reset
[22:39] <_jason> silas428: I would give www-data (the user apache runs as by default on ubuntu) the ability to scp that one file
[22:39] <F3RR1S> ok. i have it
[22:39] <happyface> does NVIDIA Optimus work in Ubuntu?
[22:40] <iceroot> happyface: with linux-3.x yes
[22:40] <silas428> _jason: I can't login as the user that apache uses
[22:40] <magpii> can someone tell me how to convert an m2v file to mpeg please? i created the file in adobe premier before switching to ubuntu
[22:40] <magpii> its a video i made
[22:40] <_jason> silas428: ah you don't control the server?
[22:40] <F3RR1S> iceroot, thanks. it has worked... and I think i can work with it now
[22:40] <iceroot> happyface: so 11.10 has a kernel which supports switiching the cards directly
[22:40] <silas428> _jason: just won't let me
[22:40] <Guest62724> Hello all - are there any open office or Libre Office experts out there with a video/music thing im having issues with?
[22:40] <_jason> silas428: one sec
[22:41] <iceroot> Guest62724: #libreoffice
[22:41] <iceroot> Guest62724: or what there channel is called
[22:41] <iceroot> !alis | Guest62724
[22:41] <thomasd> hi there
[22:41] <Guest62724> thanks iceroot
[22:41] <happyface> iceroot: I just installed 11.10 to a new notebook. Will it work by default?
[22:42] <iceroot> happyface: i dont know i dont have optimus but the kernel 3.x is supporting it
[22:42] <happyface> iceroot: thanks!
[22:42] <shomon> ActionParsnip, I did that and now mplayer is playing a video with no sound, and at a superfast speed?
[22:43] <ActionParsnip> shomon: how about VLC?
[22:43] <Viking667> meh. Synaptic's still complaining about seeing "Natty"
[22:43] <olividir> has ubunty 11.10 frozen with any of you?
[22:43] <thomasd> I have a network problem : I use my laptop both at work and at home, and when I get home from work, I cannont access https urls that I previously viewed at work. Might be an evil cache somewhere, but I don't know where. The problem arrise with both firefox and git (may be other programs too). Can anyone help me ?
[22:43] <Viking667> yet all I can find is references to oneiric
[22:44] <Viking667> so. How the heck do I diagnose synaptic?
[22:44] <_jason> silas428: have you considered using sshfs?
[22:44] <x_> Viking667, did you try a sudo apt-get update on the cmd line
[22:44] <x_> close synaptic first.
[22:44] <ActionParsnip> shomon: could try the mplayer daily build
[22:44] <silas428> _jason: I never looked into it.
[22:45] <silas428> _jason: looks promising, I will see if I can get that setup
[22:45] <_jason> silas428: or ask ##php if there's some way for you to do it as a different user
[22:45] <silas428> _jason: thanks
[22:45] <olividir> has ubunty 11.10 frozen three times in a row with any of you?
[22:46] <Viking667> did that, no packages to update.
[22:46] <Viking667> but I'll try it again.
[22:46] <x_> Viking667, pastebin /etc/apt/sources.list
[22:46] <apwbdjp> !repeat | olividir
[22:46] <silas428> _jason: will do, thanks again for the help
[22:47] <Viking667> ... and the issue is only with synaptic, not with the underlying apt layer
[22:47] <olividir> sorry for the repeat, wont happen again
[22:47] <apwbdjp> olividir, what do you do when it freezes?
[22:47] <x_> Viking667, i don't use synaptic and I thought it uses your /etc/apt/sources.list .. fairly sure.
[22:47] <olividir> is it possible to make ubuntu run smoother? now it is slow and it is impossible to multi task
[22:47] <ActionParsnip> olividir: not here
[22:48] <aeon-ltd_> olividir: don't use unity, gnome, cpmiz
[22:48] <aeon-ltd_> olividir: *compiz
[22:48] <aeon-ltd_> olividir: the lightest full package set would be lubuntu or lxde-desktop
[22:48] <ActionParsnip> olividir: or just install lxde :)
[22:48] <x_> olividir, give xubuntu (xfce) a shot it's pretty low resources.
[22:48] <SexY-SweeTHearT> hiiii
[22:48] <silas428> #php
[22:49] <olividir> apwbdjp: it was yesterday, I was trying to install some driver for ati
[22:49] <_jason> silas428: are you calling scp directly in your php code?
[22:49] <apwbdjp> olividir, so it was running fine, before that?
[22:49] <silas428> _jason: no that is in the bash script
[22:49] <tlyu> oh well. code inspection confirms shutdown -k incorrectly exits early, even in Oneiric. might file a bug later.
[22:49] <_jason> silas428: right, but why can't you do "scp user@host" then?
[22:49] <silas428> _jason: I didn't know PHP could user scp
[22:49] <SexY-SweeTHearT> hello everyone?
[22:49] <SexY-SweeTHearT> anyone hooome? ;)
[22:50] <silas428> _jason: I have tried, doesn't seem to be working
[22:50] <apwbdjp> !ask | SexY-SweeTHearT
[22:50] <olividir> apwbdjp: it was running a bit slow, a lot slower than it did with previous version of ubuntu
[22:50] <_jason> silas428: well you need to drop the key in ~/.ssh/config for the apache user's home I suspect
[22:50] <x_> olividir, is it a laptop or desktop.
[22:50] <olividir> apwbdjp: laptop
[22:50] <_jason> silas428: well you need to drop the key in ~/.ssh/id_rsa (TYPO) for the apache user's home I suspect
[22:50] <olividir> x_: laptop
[22:51] <x_> olividir, maybe ubuntu throttled your processors on this version. intel processors?
[22:51] <apwbdjp> olividir, then it is probably about unity and compiz. Try with lxde. Lighest you could get while still looking great
[22:51] <conntrack> hmm
[22:51] <silas428> _jason: there isn't anything in the directory, apache doesn't have a login shell
[22:51] <_jason> silas428: it still has a home directory
[22:51] <olividir> apwbdjp: lxde?
[22:51] <silas428> _jason: .ssh isn't in there
[22:51] <x_> olividir, some mobile processors can run in lower performance / power mode.
[22:51] <_jason> silas428: create it or if you prefer, just pass the key location to scp too
[22:52] <olividir> x_: its always on full power, have no battery plugged in
[22:52] <silas428> _jason: I will have to create it, i tried passing the key and the user in the script still nothing
[22:52] <x_> olividir, do you have the applet that shows what performance mode your processors are in ?
[22:52] <_jason> silas428: I suspect it will prompt you about the servers fingerprint on first connect.  Either add it to ~/.ssh/known_hosts or disable that feature
[22:52] <silas428> _jason: ok I will try to do that
[22:52] <x_> olividir, cpu freq scaling monitor.
[22:53] <olividir> x_: i actually dont know
[22:53] <x_> olividir, i'd check that out bra ;-)
[22:53] <olividir> x_: i just need some direction how to do that, feel very lost on the new ubuntu
[22:54] <conntrack> What port is tcp 2600?
[22:54] <Viking667> x_: no natty in those lines
[22:54] <x_> olividir, right click your panel and it's an applet that you add to the gnome panel.
[22:54] <silas428> _jason: apaches log file is saying permission denied(public key)
[22:54] <robertfw> so, i've managed to break ~/.profile - i had added a call to launch a python script i wrote that detects if my virtualbox has provided multiple monitors, and makes the appropriate xrandr call - and now i can't login. i'm in recovery mode in the root shell, but the files are unmounted so i cant fix .profile from there. not sure where to go from here
[22:54] <CharminTheMoose> Hey all, I'm running the heliwm window manager and when I start an aterm, I get a BadWindow error. stracing it produces this: http://pastebin.com/mKRS1Wzn some strange thing about the C locales.. any idea what's going on?
[22:54] <_jason> silas428: well can apache read the key you passed?
[22:55] <x_> Viking667, idk try removing synaptic with apt, sudo apt purge synapti
[22:55] <silas428> _jason: apache owns the file
[22:55] <x_> Viking667, then reinstall see if issue is fixed.
[22:55] <_jason> silas428: you should login as the apache user and attempt to ssh
[22:55] <olividir> x_: the panel which is on the left?
[22:56] <silas428> _jason: ok, I will give apache a shell temporarily and create keys for it
[22:56] <silas428> _jason: see if that helps
[22:56] <bastidrazor> robertfw: mount your /home then fix.
[22:56] <Viking667> hahahaha...
[22:56] <olividir> x_: nothing happens when i right click it, unless if im over an applet, then that starts
[22:56] <conntrack> Riggggghhht
[22:56] <almoxarife> conntrack: depends on the app that opened it
[22:56] <x_> olividir, see im not sure cause i don't use unity ( i think that's unity) do you have a gnome panel?
[22:57] <olividir> x_: i have terminal
[22:57] <x_> o_O
[22:57] <MeQuerSat> How can I run screen -dms some_name some_command -some_argument ?
[22:57] <olividir> x_: :p, me and computers, love it :p
[22:57] <robertfw> bastidrazor: gotcha, found https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory, i'll work through those. thanks
[22:57] <MeQuerSat> screen doesnt seem to pick the -some_argument
[22:57] <x_> MeQuerSat, what are you trying to do exactly o_O
[22:58] <MeQuerSat> try to run a command in screen, but with an argument
[22:58] <MeQuerSat> sudo screen -dmS webserver-lighttpd2 "lighttpd2 -c /etc/lighttpd2/angel.conf"
[22:58] <x_> screen -d -m vlc --extraintf=http'
[22:58] <x_> is one that I use.
[22:58] <zykotick9> MeQuerSat, i'd try: screen -dms "program -some_arguments"
[22:58] <MeQuerSat> I did that
[22:59] <MeQuerSat> Like I pasted above
[22:59] <MeQuerSat> screen doesnt like it
[22:59] <_jason> MeQuerSat: run an actual program instead of "some_name"
[22:59] <MeQuerSat> sudo screen -dmS webserver-lighttpd2 "lighttpd2 -c /etc/lighttpd2/angel.conf"
[22:59] <MeQuerSat> ^
[22:59] <Viking667> nope, didn't make ANY difference.
[23:00] <robertfw> bastidrazor: step 1 goes fine, but when i try to mkdir -p /home/robertfw/Private, i get "Read only file system"
[23:00] <Viking667> x_: no difference.
[23:00] <MeQuerSat> so how can I run a command from screen *with* arguments?
[23:00] <x_> Viking667, idk then. check through all config options in synaptic.
[23:00] <majd> Hey #Ubuntu! I am looking for a tool that allows me to log process information on my server - any recommendations?
[23:00] <Viking667> x_: I can't actually GET into synaptic to tweak anything...
[23:01] <Viking667> it's uh, one of those fatal errors that kills the program on startup
[23:01] <majd> i found  dstat, but it doesn't seem to have the option to monitor a specific process
[23:01] <krabador> hi people, i really need a testdisk/photorec expert
[23:01] <x_> Viking667, weird cause you just uninstalled it and purged its config file  + reinstalled right?>
[23:02] <Viking667> uhm, what config file?
[23:02] <x_> Viking667, idk purge makes apt get rid of all files of a prog
[23:02] <zykotick9> MeQuerSat, looks like screen should accept arguments by default: screen [ -options ] [ cmd [ args ] ]
[23:02] <MeQuerSat> yeah, thats what the man page said
[23:02] <Viking667> I used apt-get remove to delete the package.
[23:03] <zykotick9> MeQuerSat, using: "screen man ls" worked here?
[23:03] <Viking667> There isn't a file under /etc that configures it
[23:03] <x_> Viking667, whats the error?
[23:03] <Viking667> oh sheesh...
[23:03] <fluvvell> iceroot, unity --reset after a lot of things coming up causes a segfault, any ideas?
[23:03] <MeQuerSat> zykotick9, thanks for making me realize " " just screws it up
[23:03] <MeQuerSat> got it now :)
[23:03] <Viking667> E: The value 'natty' is invalid for APT::Default-Release as such a release is not available in the sources
[23:04] <Viking667> and I have no idea where on earth synaptic's pulling that value from.
[23:04] <_jason> MeQuerSat: and without quotes?
[23:04] <MeQuerSat> without quotes it works
[23:04] <zykotick9> Viking667, check /etc/apt/apt.conf
[23:04] <_jason> erm /me was scrolled up :)
[23:04] <MonkeyDust> Viking667  i guess you have programs which existed in natty, but are no longer available in oneiric
[23:04] <MeQuerSat> pretty funny
[23:04] <Viking667> MonkeyDust: Well, I sure wish I knew what the problem was.
[23:04] <x_> MeQuerSat, I showed you m y example where I didn't use quotes ;\
[23:05] <MeQuerSat> x_ yeah, I see now :)
[23:05] <Viking667> zykotick9: that file doesn't exist
[23:05] <Viking667> ... only the files under /etc/apt/apt-conf.d/
[23:06] <MonkeyDust> Viking667  try Bleachbit, but backup, first
[23:06] <Viking667> sorry, apt.conf.d
[23:06] <zykotick9> Viking667, ok - the APT::Default-Release is typically specified there (but likely doesn't exist by default)
[23:06] <Viking667> zykotick9: hm. So where else is it specified?
[23:06] <zykotick9> Viking667, not sure.  Good luck.
[23:06] <|PiP|`> im connecting to my ubuntu box at home through ssh, but i get random timeouts of the connection... im connecting from my office to my house, using a VPN router that i have... im not sure why the connections sometimes connect and sometimes dont. i can ping my home box from my office, and pings continue to go through.. using ubuntu 11.10 on my home machine. any ideas?
[23:07] <Viking667> sigh
[23:07] <aa__> hello can i remoute desktop ubuntu
[23:07] <ActionParsnip> aa__: try vnc
[23:08] <aa__> from windows ?
[23:08] <|PiP|`> aa__: try teamviewer
[23:08] <aa__> remote
[23:08] <ActionParsnip> aa__: sure
[23:08] <aa__> with ubuntu desktop version
[23:08] <x_> Viking667, try this...
[23:08] <ActionParsnip> aa__: what do you want to do on the remote system?
[23:08] <x_> Viking667, sudo apt-get remove synaptic && sudo apt-get autoremove synaptic && sudo apt-get install synaptic
[23:09] <aa__> hmm
[23:09] <aa__> i think is better i can see on server
[23:09] <ActionParsnip> aa__: yes, but to what end?
[23:09] <x_> Viking667, also, if that does not work. do you have a file... /root/.synaptic/synaptic.conf
[23:09] <aa__> nothing
[23:09] <aa__> but i will enabled this?
[23:09] <ActionParsnip> aa__: you can do most things via ssh, a lot of apps have web interfaces
[23:09] <Viking667> hm. might try that

[23:10] <YawningAngel> If I plain don't have a swap partition, but I never run out of RAM, will I notice any slowdown as a result?
[23:10] <YawningAngel> I noticed that even in high-RAM installations, the installer since adds a swap partition, and I was wondering why
[23:11] <ActionParsnip> aa__: opening up ports just for kicks isn't great for security
[23:11] <zykotick9> YawningAngel, well, you probably won't notice it - but running without swap is slower
[23:11] <ActionParsnip> YawningAngel: its used for hibernation etc
[23:11] <x_> YawningAngel, for stability sake, incase you ever did use all your ram or a program ate it all somehow your system won't crash ;-)
[23:11] <aa__> why its great?
[23:11] <g00d0g> hey, i have an encrypted hard-drive which i can not mount anymore. sudo fdisk prints out following: http://pastie.org/2946812. is there any chance in rescuing my data?
[23:11] <ActionParsnip> aa__: not if you don't need it
[23:11] <YawningAngel> x_ I have 8GB RAM
[23:11] <YawningAngel> I very much doubt it
[23:12] <x_> YawningAngel, 64bit? do you use flash. i've seen it happen once or twice ;-P
[23:12] <Benkinooby> ActionParsnip, if the swap is smaller than ram one can't hibernatE?
[23:12] <x_> YawningAngel, not cause it should happen, just a bug in programs it can happen.
[23:12] <YawningAngel> Yes 64bit and I've never even got close with flash :p
[23:12] <ActionParsnip> YawningAngel: if you have no need for suspend then you can get away with no swap and be ok, unless you start running lots of apps
[23:12] <YawningAngel> I figure if it eats 8GB RAM a 2GB swap partition won't last long :P
[23:12] <x_> YawningAngel, true.
[23:12] <ActionParsnip> Benkinooby: the ram is copied to swap space, so it will need to be the same
[23:13] <ActionParsnip> YawningAngel: there is 64bit flash in the partner repo
[23:13] <x_> YawningAngel, but maybe you can pkill it in the last 2gb and avoid a crash ;-)
[23:14] <ActionParsnip> YawningAngel: set vm.swappiness to something like 10 too ;)
[23:14] <qmr_> anyone else have any ideas for how to fix my audio?
[23:14] <apwbdjp> Wait.. did ubottu just crash?
[23:14] <qmr_> this is why no one takes this linux bs seriously
[23:14] <YawningAngel> My desktop isn't mission critical, I'll take my chances :p
[23:14] <x_> qmr_, whats wrong with it.
[23:14] <YawningAngel> If it crashes, it crashes
[23:14] <reisio> it's just if it eats 8GB of ram and you _don't have_ a swap partition, your system won't last long
[23:14] <qmr_> it skips.  constantly.
[23:14] <x_> reisio, my point exactly.
[23:14] <YawningAngel> And if I _do_ have a swap partition, that's going pretty damn fast too
[23:14] <YawningAngel> Pretty sure my swappiness is set to 0 :p
[23:14] <aeon-ltd_> qmr_: 100% cpu usage?
[23:15] <qmr_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/755468/
[23:15] <qmr_> aeon-ltd_: no
[23:15] <reisio> isn't 0 the default that allows all RAM to be used up? :p
[23:15] <reisio> wouldn't you want 2 or something?
[23:15] <YawningAngel> I have no objection to all my RAM being potentially used up because that is never going to happen
[23:15] <qmr_> about ~20% on each core at the moment
[23:15] <CharminTheMoose> Hey all, I'm running the heliwm window manager and when I start an aterm, I get a BadWindow error. stracing it produces this: http://pastebin.com/mKRS1Wzn some strange thing about the C locales.. any idea what's going on?
[23:15] <apwbdjp> YawningAngel, swapping unused data from memory leave more ram for caching. Swap also allows hibernation.
[23:16] <YawningAngel> But i don't NEED more RAM
[23:16] <YawningAngel> I have more RAM than I know what to do with!
[23:16] <qmr_> why is hibernate even an option on my computer btw.  when swap < RAM ... if i try to hibernate I just get a fsck when I turn computer back on
[23:16] <pp7> :P
[23:16] <ActionParsnip> YawningAngel: swappiness 0 isn't great, even 1 is better
[23:16] <x_> YawningAngel, 99,9% you never crash _without swap_
[23:16] <reisio> qmr_: because if you don't have much open, it'd still work
[23:16] <pp7> YawningAngel: how much RAM is that?
[23:16] <YawningAngel> 8GB
[23:17] <pp7> k
[23:17] <reisio> qmr_: using some hibernation systems, anyways
[23:17] <x_> lol. i got 4gb and i never come close to using it.
[23:17] <pp7> hah me too
[23:17] <YawningAngel> 8GB kits were like £5 more than 4GB kits
[23:17] <YawningAngel> I figured I might as well
[23:17] <MonkeyDust> YawningAngel  i have 500GB unused space ;)
[23:17] <reisio> you guys must do only boring things :p
[23:17] <reisio> I run out of RAM constantly
[23:17] <x_> yea I bought a bundle frome somewhere cause i was lazy
[23:17] <x_> reisio, what do you do to run out of ram.
[23:18] <YawningAngel> So what's the downside to swappiness 0?
[23:18] <reisio> a lot, simultaneously
[23:18] <apwbdjp> reisio, me too..
[23:18] <ActionParsnip> reisio: chat and browse. Good times :)
[23:18] <YawningAngel> I figured it didn't make any difference, seeing as how I didn't have swap anyway
[23:18]  * apwbdjp takes a look at his 40 firefox tabs..
[23:18] <aeon-ltd_> YawningAngel: i assume once you reach max ram usage, you'll stall until you can page it all out to the hdd
[23:18] <reisio> YawningAngel: you'll run out of RAM, evnetually, IIRC
[23:18] <Viking667> x_: heh. Figures. I wasn't even aware that root user had that file...
[23:18] <x_> YawningAngel, you can always just turn swap off
[23:18] <reisio> right unless you give it time to page out
[23:18] <Viking667> anyhow, I'm up for a reboot.
[23:18] <krabador> hi people, forgive offtopic, i need help with testdisk/photorec
[23:19] <reisio> ew, reboot
[23:19] <YawningAngel> I assumed that not having swap turned swap off
[23:19] <x_> yea why did he do that?
[23:19] <reisio> or rather I should say, with 0 and no swap space, you'll run out
[23:19] <x_> he didn't need to reboot :\
[23:19] <reisio> with swap space you'll probably be just fine
[23:19] <x_> is there anything on linux that requires a reboot ( besides new kernel) ?
[23:19] <YawningAngel> installing non-foss drivers
[23:20] <bastidrazor> x_: even new kernels don't require a reboot. ksplice
[23:20] <_jason> YawningAngel: nah
[23:20] <x_> ahh that too. yea like the nvidia.
[23:20] <x_> whats ksplice ?
[23:20] <ActionParsnip> x_: that's pretty much it, you can use a tool to slipstream kernel updates in
[23:20] <_jason> you don't /need/ to update after installing nvidia
[23:20] <ActionParsnip> x_: yep, ksplice
[23:20] <aeon-ltd_> x_: no, but a lot of things require X to be killed then restarted
[23:20] <amstan> i'm trying to recompile a kernel module, so i got the git, checked out the right version and i'm now trying to make modules, but it wants me to configure the kernel first
[23:20] <x_> ill stick with rebooting for kernels just to be safe hahaha!
[23:20] <bastidrazor> ubottu is dead
[23:20] <amstan> is there an easy way to tell it to use what ubuntu's kernel used?
[23:20] <reisio> x_: updating kernels without rebooting, that's what
[23:20] <x_> reisio, yea, idk ive never done that b4.
[23:20] <|PiP|`> anyone know what might cause random connection timeout errors when using ssh?
[23:20] <YawningAngel> So basically, for maximum responsiveness, I should go with swappiness of 10 or so?
[23:21] <MonkeyDust> reisio  oracle owns ksplice
[23:21] <ActionParsnip> x_: ksplice changes the running kernel bits which have been updated, no need to reboot between kernels
[23:21] <malibu> When I open shotwell I don't get a menu bar, and thus cannot edit prefs (shotwell 11.4 on Onieric).  Does anyone know what is going on?  I see images on web pages with menu bars
[23:21] <x_> I just know I love linux and ubuntu is the shiznit.
[23:21] <qmr_> false.
[23:21] <qmr_> ubuntu is junk
[23:21] <x_> lmao
[23:21] <x_> your entitled to your opinion
[23:21] <reisio> MonkeyDust: they sure do
[23:21] <reisio> MonkeyDust: but it's open source
[23:22] <kantlivelong> anyone here have issues w/ vboxsf building on ubuntu 11.10 guest?
[23:22] <ActionParsnip> qmr_: then dn't use it, you have choice
[23:22] <x_> I can do everything I want to do for free at light speed on ubuntu.
[23:22] <aeon-ltd_> YawningAngel: it may not be 10, but yeah a relatively low amount if you have lots of ram. you could spend time stress testiong and tweaking to get the best, but if you've not got time just set it to 10 then if does slow down under stress up it a little
[23:22] <almoxarife> kantlivelong: not here, builds fine
[23:22] <kantlivelong> odd
[23:22] <CharminTheMoose> Hey all, I'm running the heliwm window manager and when I start an aterm, I get a BadWindow error. stracing it produces this: http://pastebin.com/mKRS1Wzn some strange thing about the C locales.. any idea what's going on?
[23:23] <x_> qmr_, please don't send me private messages about my spelling. thanks
[23:23] <almoxarife> kantlivelong: or perhaps I don't notice what you are seeing, what are you seeing?
[23:24] <kantlivelong> almoxarife: aeverything works but shared. folders... cant modprobe it either
[23:25] <almoxarife> kantlivelong: yes, same here, you are right, I didn't see any errors though, thought I didn't do something right
[23:25] <cu-pet-tong> was zeitgeist trully needed for standalone system ?
[23:26] <reisio> lord, there isn't something new named zeitgeist, is there?
[23:26] <almoxarife> kantlivelong: and before it just worked
[23:26] <ActionParsnip> !find zeitgeist
[23:26] <almoxarife> zeitgeist on mine sends to dev null
[23:27] <apwbdjp> ActionParsnip, ubottu's gone

[23:28] <reisio> ActionParsnip: just, wow :p
[23:28] <kantlivelong> almoxarife: :/
[23:28] <reisio> "I know, let's make our software impossible to distinguish from a million other things!"
[23:29] <almoxarife> kantlivelong: looking at web site now, there must be something brought up about it
[23:29] <ActionParsnip> reisio: is "the spirit of the times" or "the spirit of the age." [1] Zeitgeist is the general cultural,intellectual, ethical, spiritual or political climate within a nation or even specific groups, along with the general ambiance, morals, sociocultural direction, and mood associated with an era.
[23:29] <ActionParsnip> reisio: what's wrong with that?
[23:29] <reisio> nothing, except that everyone names everything that
[23:29] <reisio> because it's a cool word, even starting with 'z'
[23:30] <reisio> http://www.google.com/search?q=zeitgeist you see zeitgeist-project.com there?
[23:30] <reisio> neither do I
[23:30] <Emiru> my computer wont turn off ? I turn it off and the screen stays black ? The same happens when I switch users or log out, anyone could help ?
[23:31] <malibu> no one knows shotwell?
[23:31] <ActionParsnip> reisio: http://zeitgeist-project.com/
[23:31] <apwbdjp> Emiru, could you try "sudo poweroff -f" (that'll basically cut the power off your computer, in a pretty unsafe way)
[23:32] <ActionParsnip> malibu: I'm sure the developers know it very well
[23:32] <Emiru> apwbdjp: I did not tried yet, I tried sudo shutdown now, sudo shutdown -r now works tho, it restarts
[23:32] <bindi__> Emiru: you need sudo shutdown -h now
[23:33] <bindi__> h for halt
[23:33] <Emiru> oh ok, I will try that now, be right back
[23:33] <apwbdjp> bindi__, it actually does halt, it doesn't power down, though, right?
[23:33] <bindi__> "sudo shutdown now" and you'll be left with a black screen. add -h and it'll shut down like you'd expect it to
[23:34] <apwbdjp> bindi__, oh, thought it was the opposite
[23:34] <malibu> ActionParsnip:  I meant no one HERE
[23:35] <ActionParsnip> malibu: maybe if you ask your real question, you may get the answer you want
[23:35] <Emiru> ah it worked !
[23:35] <Emiru> thanks a lot !
[23:36] <malibu> ActionParsnip: I'm trying to change the directory that photos get imported to.  How do I do this.  Articles on the internet indicate to use Edit->Preferences, but I have no menu so I cannot Edit->Preferences.

[23:37] <Rotham> hey.. ubuntu 11.04 -- Im getting an error:  mkdir: cannot create directory `hi': No space left on device
[23:37] <malibu> ActionParsnip, how do I do that when I do not have a menu
[23:38] <Rotham> im pretty sure theres plenty of space left on the drive
[23:38] <Rotham> any ideas whats up?
[23:38] <malibu> ActionParsnip, There is no menu bar at all
[23:38] <ActionParsnip> malibu: it will be in the top bar, global menu will hold the menus for most apps
[23:38] <malibu> Ugh.. like OS/X
[23:39] <malibu> ActionParsnip, Ugh, like OS/X
[23:39] <malibu> ActionParsnip, At least I see it now, thanks.  I'm new to Onieric
[23:39] <malibu> ActionParsnip, Do you know if there is a way for me to put the menu on the actual window?
[23:39] <ActionParsnip> malibu: np :)
[23:39] <ActionParsnip> malibu: let me search
[23:40] <ActionParsnip> malibu: http://maketecheasier.com/remove-app-menu-in-ubuntu-oneiric/2011/10/14
[23:40] <ActionParsnip> malibu: found that in about 3 seconds with duckduckgo
[23:41] <malibu> ActionParsnip, thankyouthankyouthankyou
[23:41] <ActionParsnip> malibu: it helps maximise use of vertical space
[23:41] <malibu> ActionParsnip, Yeah.. My daughter has a mac and it has always seemed unnatural to me.
[23:41] <pist0l-fish> my machine has trouble with unity, so i switched to unity 2. it works fine, but i would like to drag windows between workspaces. is there a way to set this up?
[23:41] <pist0l-fish> *unity 2d
[23:41] <ActionParsnip> malibu: laptops have widescreens, but not so much on the vertical, so putting the menu there saves space vertically
[23:42] <malibu> ActionParsnip, gotcha.. I will give it a go
[23:42] <malibu> Bookmarked that page for now
[23:42] <ActionParsnip> Rotham: where are you making the folder?
[23:42] <ActionParsnip> Rotham: if it is outside $HOME you will need to prepend the command with sudo
[23:43] <g00d0g> anyone an idea how to recover an encrypted hard drive (ext2) ?
[23:43] <kantlivelong> almoxarife: perhaps using the cd will work
