| bobdobbs | Hi. I'm having trouble installing the latest version of firefox. I've added a ppa for latest stable. But whenever I do 'apt-get install firefox', I get this: | 00:26 |
| bobdobbs | http://pastebin.com/sR0aWNy0 | 00:26 |
| bobdobbs | Ot | 00:26 |
| bobdobbs | It's a long log with a lot of complaints from dpkg about missing files. | 00:27 |
| cypher-neo | LOL | 00:27 |
| cypher-neo | bobdobbs, Try using "apt-get upgrade" | 00:27 |
| bobdobbs | That was pretty much the first thing I tried. | 00:28 |
| don262 | I just downloaded the .deb from the firefox homepage and ran it. | 00:28 |
| bobdobbs | I get the same result when I do 'apt-get upgrade'. The same errors | 00:29 |
| bobdobbs | I've done 'apt-get update =-fix-missing', and I get the same result. | 00:29 |
| bobdobbs | I'm guessing that the package manager might be broken. | 00:30 |
| scott__ | all of a sudden i can't gain access to my flash drive. i can't copy files to or from....fix? | 00:31 |
| escott | !paste | scott__ send us the output of `mount` | 00:32 |
| ubottu | scott__ send us the output of `mount`: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 00:32 |
| cypher-neo | bobdobbs, Okay try the following... "apt-get dist-upgrade" (That should fix the package manager and upgrade firefox) | 00:32 |
| bobdobbs | cypher-neo: I've tried that too. | 00:34 |
| scott__ | escott: http://paste.ubuntu.com/772827/ | 00:34 |
| bobdobbs | Every time I run that, firefox gets downloaded but not installed. And I get the same errors | 00:35 |
| escott | scott__, so the problem is these were not mounted by udisks with the user option so all the files are root owned. did you do anything special to mount them? did you put them in your fstab or mount them on the command line? /dev/sdb1 on /media/Fujitsu120 type vfat (rw) | 00:36 |
| escott | /dev/sdc1 on /media/usb0 type vfat (rw,noexec,nodev,sync,noatime,nodiratime) | 00:36 |
| bobdobbs | I'm searching for a deb package for an x86 version of firefox 8, but I can't find one. | 00:37 |
| === ethernet- is now known as AG0X | ||
| scott__ | escott: given i have no idea what you just asked me, i'm gonna gamble on NO. i'm ubuntu illiterate. i used to be able to just stick in my flash drive and drag and drop files at will. now....not so much | 00:37 |
| pythonirc1011 | Can someone explain how the setup works on this machine? fdisk -l output --> http://paste.pocoo.org/show/521935/ | 00:37 |
| AG0X | hallo | 00:37 |
| gogeta | escott: mount -t vfat /dev/sdc1 /meida/usb | 00:37 |
| bobdobbs | I think if I could get that, it would save me from having to fix the broken package manager | 00:38 |
| xangua | !fx6 | bobdobbs the ppa already has fx8 | 00:38 |
| ubottu | bobdobbs the ppa already has fx8: Firefox 6 has been released as a security update for 11.04. For 10.04 and 10.10, you can use the unofficial and unsupported PPA at https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-stable | 00:38 |
| pythonirc1011 | The machine works perfectly | 00:38 |
| bobdobbs | yeah, I've added the ppa. | 00:38 |
| bobdobbs | But I apt still won't install the latest firefox | 00:38 |
| urlin2u | bobdobbs, you want to get the updater in order bro. | 00:38 |
| gogeta | bobdobbs: sudo apt-get update | 00:39 |
| cypher-neo | bobdobbs, Do you use Synaptic? | 00:39 |
| gogeta | bobdobbs: then it should install firefox | 00:39 |
| bobdobbs | gogeta: done that. It runs, dowloads firefox, but doesn't install it. | 00:39 |
| scott__ | escott: you still with me? | 00:39 |
| gogeta | bobdobbs: oh strange | 00:39 |
| genii-around | gogeta: He has a deeper issue. His pastebin: http://pastebin.com/sR0aWNy0 | 00:39 |
| bobdobbs | urlin2u: I'm reluctant to try fixing the updater. When apt breaks it's pretty much unfixable. | 00:40 |
| cypher-neo | bobdobbs, Okay, let's do it graphically. | 00:40 |
| urlin2u | bobdobbs, not true easily fixed. Have you done a upgrade of your OS and just turned PPA's and 3rd party repos back on without checking if the ppa supports your release? | 00:41 |
| cypher-neo | bobdobbs, "sudo apt-get install synaptic" (Unless you already have the Synaptic Package Manager installed) | 00:41 |
| xangua | define broken bobdobbs | 00:41 |
| gogeta | genii-around: ah he broke a update didnt he | 00:41 |
| Blackshirt | Bobdobbs. Apt was very smart for fixing trouble | 00:41 |
| bobdobbs | cypher-neo: I guess we could give that a shot. Usually I use the cli, but why not give synaptic a shot. | 00:41 |
| gogeta | genii-around: i forgot the comand to fix that lol | 00:41 |
| cypher-neo | bobdobbs, I'm more familiar with Synaptic, so it will make it easier for me. :) | 00:41 |
| bobdobbs | urlin2u: I might have done that. I don't specifically remember not doing that. | 00:42 |
| escott | scott__, so start by ejecting the devices if you can and then checking `mount` to see if they are listed. if you cannot eject them do sudo umount /media/usb0 or sudo umount /media/Fujistu120 | 00:42 |
| bobdobbs | cypher-neo: cool. Might as well give it a go :) | 00:42 |
| bobdobbs | I already have synaptic installed. | 00:42 |
| cypher-neo | bobdobbs, Excellent. In that case, load the Synaptic Package Manager... | 00:43 |
| xangua | it won't be easier for anyone if you don't show us what error message you get or what have you done | 00:43 |
| gogeta | bobdobbs: sudo apt-get --fix-missing | 00:43 |
| urlin2u | bobdobbs, post your apt/sources.list in a image bin if you can't figure it out, and look at the sourcesist.d in etc/apt and check if the ppa's support whats thers. | 00:43 |
| bobdobbs | gogeta: done that. same errors. | 00:43 |
| urlin2u | bobdobbs, sorry pastebin. | 00:43 |
| Scunizi | How do I restart Bash without creating a new bash session along side the existing one? | 00:43 |
| cypher-neo | bobdobbs, After you've installed and loaded Synaptic, click Refresh to refresh and reload all the repositories and PPA's, then in the bottom left-hand section click "Origin" (this will sort all the packages by the PPA) | 00:43 |
| scott__ | escott: scott@scott-AOD255E:~$ sudo umount /media/usb0 or sudo umount /media/Fujistu120 | 00:44 |

| bobdobbs | cypher-neo: ok | 00:44 |
| Lufti | hi | 00:44 |
| Lufti | i have a big problem | 00:44 |
| escott | scott__, that is two commands one for the usb0 folder the other for the Fujistu120 folder | 00:44 |
| cypher-neo | bobdobbs, Then look for the PPA you just loaded, and click on it | 00:44 |
| Blackshirt | Lutfi jusk ask your problem | 00:44 |
| scott__ | escott: ah...sorry | 00:44 |
| cypher-neo | bobdobbs, That will list all the files inside that particular PPA. Just find Firefox and install it from that screen. | 00:45 |
| Lufti | Ubuntu 11:10: I installed gnome-shell and it worked perfektly. Then suddenly gnome-shell does not start any longer. Instead gnome-classic starts. | 00:45 |
| Lufti | any idea? | 00:45 |
| gogeta | bobdobbs: sudo dpkg --configure -a | 00:45 |
| gogeta | thats the one | 00:45 |
| === pbraz is now known as patrick | ||
| urlin2u | gogeta, that wont fix the problem | 00:45 |
| cypher-neo | lufti: Log out and click the gear icon next to where your username and select GNOME from the dropdown list | 00:46 |
| escott | Lufti, its called fallback mode. its doing this because your graphics drivers arent working. use jockey-gtk to make sure the drivers are installed | 00:46 |
| cypher-neo | lufti: Then log in. It should be GNOME-Shell then | 00:46 |
| bobdobbs | cypher-neo: synaptic runs reload, and then produces these errors: | 00:46 |

| cypher-neo | bobdobbs, Are you using 10.10? | 00:47 |
| xangua | then remove that repository that has No Packages for maverick bobdobbs | 00:47 |
| bobdobbs | cypher-neo: I believe so. Checking... | 00:47 |
| urlin2u | bobdobbs, what release are you running? | 00:47 |
| Lufti | escott, ah! Yes, I forgot that I installed nvidia drivers (recommended via "Hardware Driver" thing in settings) | 00:47 |
| bobdobbs | 10.10 | 00:48 |
| scott__ | escott: i put in both commands...usb0= not mounted, fujitsu120=not found. the flash drive is actually plugged in at present. and i can view the files inside. however i've no permission to delete them nor to create folders or copy files within | 00:48 |
| gogeta | bobdobbs: lol update | 00:48 |
| bobdobbs | gogeta: why? | 00:48 |
| n0sq | genii-around: using an existing username on 2 other machines wasn't a problem but i guess i'll have to try installing with a different username | 00:48 |
| cypher-neo | bobdobbs, Okay, well that error doesn't mean anything majorly wrong. Just that it couldn't fetch files from a PPA. You can delete the PPA later. | 00:48 |
| urlin2u | bobdobbs, cool go through the sourceslist.d and the /etc/apt/sources.list and make sure they are set to maverick and check for the ppa's supporting this release. | 00:49 |
| gogeta | bobdobbs: 10.04 is lts not 10.10 abd we are at 11.10 now | 00:49 |
| cypher-neo | gogeta, lol :) | 00:49 |
| escott | scott__, im assuming that this flash drive is one of /media/fujistu120 or /media/usb0 because those appeared in `mount` if would be helpful if you could figure out which one it is. what location does the filemanager show when you are looking at the files | 00:49 |
| gogeta | cypher-neo: lol | 00:49 |
| bobdobbs | gogeta: updating isn't really an option with a broken package management system. | 00:49 |
| Lufti | escott, jockey--gtk is exactly what i used to install the nvidia drivers. I used the recommended one (the alternative is the "post-release updates"). Do you recommend to try the other drivers? | 00:49 |
| gogeta | bobdobbs: :( | 00:50 |
| cypher-neo | bobdobbs, The package system will be fixed when you upgrade | 00:50 |
| xangua | bobdobbs: doesn't look broken, you just have a broken ppa | 00:50 |
| xangua | ......... | 00:50 |
| bobdobbs | ok | 00:50 |
| cypher-neo | Yeah. There's nothing broken | 00:50 |
| bobdobbs | cool | 00:50 |
| cypher-neo | It's just an error | 00:50 |
| cypher-neo | Not a serious one | 00:50 |
| escott | Lufti, no idea i avoid purchasing nvidia | 00:50 |
| urlin2u | bobdobbs, ignore everybody but xangua | 00:50 |
| gogeta | escott: lol | 00:50 |
| Lufti | :) | 00:50 |
| scott__ | escott: its actually a Kingston flash drive. the fujitsu120 came from a reputed "fix" i found online. | 00:51 |
| bobdobbs | So, if the system isn't broken, how can I upgrade to ff 8 using it? | 00:51 |
| escott | scott__, and what did this fix have you do? | 00:51 |

| DrClaw2 | does ATI use VHDL to design their graphics controllers? | 00:53 |
| gogeta | Scunizi: yep | 00:54 |
| cypher-neo | Scunizi, "source ~/.bash_aliases" | 00:54 |
| gogeta | Scunizi: relly the only way to reboot bash in reboot the box | 00:54 |
| scott__ | escott: afk 3 minitz | 00:54 |
| escott | scott__, and thats why things are broken. you need to eject the devices, run the umount commands until the partitions do not appear in `mount` then remove the two folders in /media | 00:54 |
| cypher-neo | Scunizi, That will load all the new bash infos without restarting or creating a new session | 00:54 |
| Scunizi | gogeta: no.. there is another way.. I think cypher-neo has it.. | 00:54 |

| gogeta | bobdobbs: non lts only have a 6 moth life cycle | 00:57 |
| cypher-neo | bobdobbs, I would suggest the same thing... but we could still try the Synaptic thing I was trying to walk you through earlier. | 00:57 |
| xangua | bobdobbs: if you already added the ppa and updated, like you said you did, you already have fx8 | 00:57 |
| bobdobbs | cypher-neo: I think we got as far as getting to the error. What should I do next? | 00:57 |
| gogeta | xangua: his paa did not have 10.10 builds so it broke | 00:57 |
| cypher-neo | xangua, Is it possible that he can't upgrade to the version on the PPA because it's unstable? | 00:58 |

| xangua | gogeta: the fx8 ppa is not broken | 00:58 |
| xangua | cypher-neo: well any ppa you use, you use it on your own risk | 00:58 |
| * cypher-neo nods | 00:59 | |
| gogeta | cypher-neo: the updater will remove all ppas anyways | 00:59 |
| bobdobbs | yeah - I'm not getting errors related to the ff8 ppa. | 00:59 |
| don262 | I did the update to 11.10, but my screen was all whack when it restarted. Even trying to get back to old gnome desktop failed | 00:59 |
| cypher-neo | gogeta, Remove, or just disable? | 00:59 |
| gogeta | remove | 00:59 |
| Scunizi | mine got disabled | 00:59 |
| cypher-neo | gogeta, I was under the impression that they would be disabled but you could re-enable them on the other side. | 00:59 |
| bobdobbs | I'm also reluctant to update to 11.10 because of the cost of bandwidth. I'm in NZ, and they charge us up the wazoo for the stuff. | 00:59 |

| cypher-neo | bobdobbs, Let me look at my Synaptic and remember the right way to do it | 01:05 |
| escott | scott__, where it says /dev/sdb# on /media/folder type vfat (blah,blah,blah) means that sdb# is mounted on the folder /media/folder so you want to sudo umount /media/folder and then it should not be listed | 01:05 |
| bobdobbs | ok | 01:05 |
| travis-18 | how can i enable ident for kvirc? | 01:05 |
| scott__ | escott: http://paste.ubuntu.com/772849/ | 01:06 |
| cypher-neo | bobdobbs, Okay. I want you to click on the Firefox entry in Synaptic so it's highlighted. | 01:06 |
| bobdobbs | ok... | 01:06 |
| cypher-neo | bobdobbs, And then click Package - Force Version... | 01:06 |
| escott | scott__, once it disappears from the output of mount you can "sudo rmdir /media/folder" and then things should work | 01:06 |
| Scunizi | How do I rename a directory of *.jpg to *.JPG without distroying the first part of the pic name? mv *.jpg *.JPG doesn't work.. it's expecting to mv them to a directory. | 01:07 |
| cypher-neo | bobdobbs, It's in the upper menu. This will bring up a Force Version window where you can select the version you want installed. | 01:07 |
| escott | scott__, so sdb1 is still mounted on that /media/Fujitsu120 folder | 01:07 |
| bobdobbs | ok | 01:07 |
| scott__ | escott: perhaps you could walk me thru this procedure? i'm completely ubuntu illiterate | 01:07 |
| cypher-neo | bobdobbs, Since it conflicts with a kubuntu package, we're going to force the install (there will be no damage in forcing this) | 01:07 |
| bobdobbs | 'error occured'. pasting... | 01:07 |
| cypher-neo | bobdobbs, lol, okay... I await your paste | 01:08 |
| escott | Scunizi, for f in *.jpg; do mv $f `basename $f jpg`.JPG; done | 01:08 |
| travis-18 | hey someone uploaded something ti me | 01:08 |
| bobdobbs | http://pastebin.com/BGf5EdCT | 01:08 |
| escott | scott__, sudo umount /media/Fujitsu120 | 01:08 |
| Scunizi | escott: thanks.. there is no basename .. each pic has a different name.. would that change the command? | 01:08 |
| cypher-neo | bobdobbs, Crap... | 01:09 |
| bobdobbs | what is this telling us ? | 01:09 |
| escott | scott__, and then check `mount` you shouldn't see anything listed in "/media" the problem is you have folders in /media that you shouldnt have so remove those with sudo rmdir /media/Fujistsu120 | 01:09 |
| cypher-neo | bobdobbs, Umm, I know how to make it work, but you'll want to backup all your bookmarks and stuff in FF first. | 01:09 |
| escott | Scunizi, basename is a command | 01:09 |
| bobdobbs | cypher-neo: ok | 01:09 |
| travis-18 | hi folks. a i got an onjoin something entering | 01:09 |
| bobdobbs | doing that now... | 01:09 |
| Scunizi | escott: AH.. ok. thanks! | 01:09 |
| cypher-neo | bobdobbs, What you're going to have to do is remove kubuntu-firefox-installer and then install from the PPA | 01:09 |
| Scunizi | worked | 01:09 |
| cypher-neo | bobdobbs, I fear this might remove all your extensions and FF modifications as well though. | 01:10 |
| travis-18 | b. i just need to turn on ident for irc | 01:10 |
| cypher-neo | bobdobbs, I was trying to make it upgrade without you losing anything | 01:10 |
| bobdobbs | hmmm. I guess I might just leave it then. | 01:10 |
| Scunizi | escott: the command worked .. but now I have double "." between the name and jpg.. like <name..jpg> | 01:10 |
| ewenkat_win | After my failed attempt at installing the ati binaries for Oneiric, I get a terminal output saying Starting atieventsd. and it stops here forever during boot | 01:11 |
| escott | scott__, check that there aren't any folders in /media by running "ls /media" | 01:11 |
| ewenkat_win | Can someone tell me how I could recover my old ATI drivers and get back my gui | 01:11 |
| bobdobbs | I'm kinda reluctant to risk loosing all my settings, bookmarks, remembered passwords and stuff. | 01:11 |
| cypher-neo | bobdobbs, Sorry. I would still suggest you upgrade to 11.10 though. The latest FF version will be included once you upgrade. | 01:11 |
| bobdobbs | ok. | 01:11 |
| bobdobbs | Thanks for helping me out anyway | 01:11 |
| tjiggi_fo | travis-18, try #freenode or #ubuntu-ops | 01:12 |
| cypher-neo | bobdobbs, Sorry it didn;t work. | 01:12 |
| escott | Scunizi, yeah should have been consistent in the `basename $f .jpg`.JPG part either both need "."s or neither should. you can run another bash loop on *.JPG and `basename $f .JPG`JPG to loose a dot | 01:12 |
| Scunizi | escott: or run the original with a "." in front of jpg right? | 01:12 |
| === matt_ is now known as mattvm | ||
| escott | Scunizi, too late files are already renamed | 01:13 |
| scott__ | escott: http://paste.ubuntu.com/772852/ | 01:13 |
| bobdobbs | cypher-neo: thats ok. Sometimes win has to wait. | 01:13 |
| escott | Scunizi, point is we added a dot by doing `basename $f jpg`.JPG so now remove one with `basename $f .JPG`JPG | 01:13 |
| Scunizi | escott: ok I'll give it a go | 01:14 |
| escott | scott__, you typoed the folder name, but all that stuff listed in /media needs to go so sudo rmdir each one until its all gone | 01:14 |
| travis-18 | ok | 01:14 |
| Starminn | I'm trying to connect my Ubuntu 11.10 system to a Vizio 42" LED HDTV, but whenever I connect it through the given RGB port it has a totally blue screen and says "Not Supported" | 01:14 |

| scott__ | escott: step one =? | 01:15 |
| Scunizi | escott: got it thanks.. :) | 01:15 |
| escott | scott__, ls /media is step one. pick a folder listed there and sudo rmdir "whatever you found" | 01:15 |
| scott__ | escott: sorry i really just don't have a clue. but, i really appreciate your time in helping me with this. | 01:16 |
| learner | hi, this is a minor thing, how can i change the uggly ass battery icon on 11.10? no matter what icon theme i use, it stays the same, big and chunky. | 01:16 |
| cypher-neo | learner, Yeah, you need the gnome-tweak-tool package | 01:17 |
| cypher-neo | learner, That will allow you more control over changing icons and themes | 01:17 |
| scott__ | escott: so there's usb usb0-usb7. therefore, the command would look like.... rmdir usb, rmdir usb0, rmdir usb1 for each? | 01:17 |
| escott | scott__, sudo rmdir /media/usb | 01:19 |
| scott__ | escott: roger. then, sudo rmdir /media/usb0 etc? | 01:19 |
| escott | scott__, yes | 01:19 |
| scott__ | escott: gotcha, back in a few mins. | 01:20 |

| TBotNik | Anyone game? | 01:23 |
| Siegel- | does anyone know why openoffice is so bad with saved files with images in it? that is, every time i open the file the images and text shift? | 01:24 |
| Jerrry | Probably because of quantum mechanics affecting the file on your hard disk. | 01:25 |
| Siegel- | Jerrry: is there a way to fix it? | 01:25 |
| Jerrry | Freeze your computer before you sleep every night. | 01:25 |

| Zanzacar | I am trying to find a decent application for keeping track of project information such as project numbers, contact information, address, etc. Does anyone know of anything like that for linux? | 01:40 |
| escott | scott__, sorry just saw your paste. i think disk fujitsu120 usb is a single string so sudo rmdir "/media/Disk[TAB]" | 01:40 |
| scott__ | escott: with quotes? | 01:42 |
| escott | scott__, yes the quotes will prevent the shell from interpreting the spaces. alternately you can sudo rmdir /media/Disk[TAB] and you will see /media/Disk\ Fujistu120\ usb | 01:43 |

| aikInsaan|home | internal | 01:51 |

| escott | scott__, so then go ahead and remove the Disk folder. just keep runing ls /media and then run sudo rmdir /media/X[TAB] where X is the first character of whatever you see | 01:52 |
| hasenj | ifconfig it is, I think | 01:52 |

| dr_willis | Snowie: some times some packages get put in the backports or other repos. | 02:17 |
| Snowie | dr_willis: generally to the latest version, or can that be held up by dependencies. Im sure 2.61 has been out before the release of 11.10 | 02:17 |
| dr_willis | Snowie: it all depends on the timint. | 02:18 |
| dr_willis | timeing. | 02:18 |
| escott | Snowie, historically ubuntu has been debian testing frozen 3-6m before the release date and then tweaked and stabilized | 02:18 |

| escott | scott__, sudo rm /media/usb; sudo rmdir /media/Fujitsu120; | 02:26 |
| dr_willis | !terminal | scott__ | 02:26 |
| ubottu | scott__: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 02:26 |
| scott__ | escott: don't give up on me now bro, and i want you to know how much i appreciate your time and patience | 02:26 |
| scott__ | escott: thanks doing that now | 02:27 |
| escott | scott__, its just really hard to know what to say. if you can't understand what a command does you shouldnt be running it. and i dont know how i can better explain the commands. if i put them in quotes then you are likely to type the quote into the terminal | 02:27 |
| dr_willis | use mirc color codes.. :) | 02:28 |
| scott__ | escott: ok so, the first command: sudo rm /media/usb came back with no such file or directory. | 02:28 |
| escott | scott__, then check if it exists with ls /media. if it doesnt you are good | 02:29 |

| kingofswords | hi how do i add fonts to gimp? | 02:30 |
| scott__ | escott: no more listing for usb in Fujitsu120. yay?? | 02:30 |
| dr_willis | !fonts | 02:30 |
| ubottu | Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". For the official ubuntu font, see: http://font.ubuntu.com/ | 02:30 |
| dr_willis | kingofswords: i just copy .ttf fonts to my .fonts dir normally | 02:30 |
| kingofswords | cheers | 02:30 |
| escott | scott__, so then see if plugging in the drive works | 02:31 |
| kingofswords | is it etc/fonts? | 02:31 |
| dr_willis | kingofswords: its .fonts in the users Home dir.. unless you want to install them system wide | 02:32 |
| scott__ | escott: bummer..."not able to mount Kingston" not authorized | 02:32 |
| dr_willis | scott__: what filesystem is the hard drive? | 02:32 |
| kingofswords | i cant see the fonts foler in home | 02:33 |
| escott | scott__, check that the output of `groups` lists "plugdev" | 02:33 |
| scott__ | dr_willis: unsure...its my nayborz....i'm transferring files to him. | 02:33 |
| dr_willis | kingofswords: its .fonts with a . and you MAKE it.. if it dosent exist. | 02:33 |
| kingofswords | isnt there already a fonts folder in gimp | 02:34 |
| kingofswords | surely gimp wont see it if you just make a folder | 02:34 |
| dr_willis | kingofswords: never installed fonts JUST for gimp for.. | 02:34 |
| kingofswords | either | 02:34 |
| dr_willis | kingofswords: if gimp uses the normal system fonts it should.. | 02:34 |
| scott__ | escott: output of groups includes plugdev | 02:34 |
| kingofswords | i just want them to show uop in gimp | 02:34 |
| dr_willis | kingofswords: so... make a .fonts dir.. copy them to it.. restart gimp. a log out.back in might be needed | 02:35 |
| kingofswords | but i dont understand how its going to find the new folder | 02:35 |
| dr_willis | becasuwe the font server for the system looks for it... | 02:35 |
| dr_willis | !fonts | 02:35 |

| escott | scott__, `udisks --enumerate` should list /dev/sdb# for some number # then try `udisks --mount /dev/sdb#` for that number # | 02:36 |
| dr_willis | time to read up on how fonts work in linux/X/ubuntu. | 02:36 |
| scott__ | escott: what i can't fathom is, how from one day to the next, i can go from being able to manipulate files on any flashdrive at will, to not even being able to open them | 02:36 |
| escott | scott__, thats what im trying to figure out, but we have to get the junk that shouldnt be there (like the folders you put in /media) out of the way | 02:37 |
| scott__ | escott: i have sdb and sdb1 does it matter which? | 02:38 |
| kingofswords | its not time to read up...all i want to do is just move this tff file...i dont want to spend hrs reading about programing or internal working of asystem | 02:38 |
| escott | scott__, sdb1 | 02:38 |
| n0sq | i don't what the problem is but i can't always get a desktop on a dell 600m and ubuntu 11.10 | 02:38 |
| scott__ | escott: could it be some file within the flash drive itself contributing to the problem? i have no compunction to wipe it | 02:39 |

| tjayh913 | if I try the normal boot, it goes to a blank screen with the cursor thing and does nothing, and then tried an option called (Recovery Mode) and it gave me a Kernel panic error | 02:43 |
| abu-bakr | n0sq: use 11.04 like I do | 02:44 |

| pythonirc1011 | does anyone know how to migrate a physical ubuntu box into virtualbox? | 02:49 |
| escott | scott__, seems there is a policykit issue. `pkaction -v | grep -F7 udisks.filesystem-mount` should say what the permissions for mounting with udisks are | 02:49 |
| urlin2u | Python1320, there is info on the web, the vbox drivers are different. | 02:49 |
| pythonirc1011 | urlin2u: i found the windows migration guide: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Migrate_Windows -- but no ubuntu | 02:50 |
| travisHAZE | travisHAZE needs a friend | 02:50 |
| urlin2u | pythonirc1011, I have tried it never with success myself. | 02:51 |
| n0sq | abu-bakr: it's interesting that 64 bit 11.10 works great on my 64 bit dell XPS15 while the 32 bit version doesn't work on the dell 600m but the 32 bit works great on an old IBM thinkpad t42 | 02:51 |
| pythonirc1011 | urlin2u: i hope someone else succeeded here! | 02:51 |
| urlin2u | pythonirc1011, I think this line tells the story in the link. This should work for Win2k Vista and Windows 7 as well, but it's untested. | 02:51 |
| abu-bakr | :) | 02:51 |
| escott | scott__, also check that policykit is running, maybe it crashed. `ps aux | grep polkitd` should list /usr/lib/policy-kit/polkitd | 02:51 |
| urlin2u | pythonirc1011, good luck with getting it done here. :D | 02:52 |

| tjayh913 | urlin2u: I had done a ton of updates that it suggested (think like 200+) and it also told me to activate a graphics card driver, so I did that and finally restarted. Haven't been able to boot it since I restarted it | 03:00 |

| almoxarife | LABcrab: the same way you would on a machine, install the dwnloadable virtualbox, create a vdi(disk) insert the dvd/cd, point to it in virtualbox, the rest is just another install | 03:04 |
| urlin2u | OffGridOps, the pgp keys as part of the update? | 03:04 |

| cypher-neo | fernandito, Okay try entering this in the Terminal "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg && sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart" | 03:30 |
| edlang | abu-bakr: on that, you can only boot from raid1 or normal block devices. | 03:30 |
| cypher-neo | fernandito, That will reconfigure the xserver and restart your graphics interface | 03:30 |
| cypher-neo | fernandito, If that works then you have a solution there. The problem is you'll have to do that every time you start the computer... possibly | 03:31 |
| scott__ | escott i did a system update today. but not sure how to update policykit | 03:31 |

| phillip | *nthing | 05:06 |
| phillip | *nothing | 05:07 |
| almoxarife | DaZ: cause its easy! | 05:07 |
| DaZ | if you say so. | 05:07 |
| DaZ | i use it on windows sometimes, and i'd gladly switch it to any civilized terminal+ssh :f | 05:07 |
| fman23 | phillip: if everything were based on optics, there would hardly be a thing like latency | 05:07 |
| Android1435 | Well, for one, what is better than putty when trying to SSH into multiple remote hosts? | 05:07 |
| * phillip would ONLY have brain lag to blame | 05:08 | |
| milamber | Android1435: putty just sends the control key press, so it doesn't have standard rich application functionality | 05:08 |

| K1rk | I was just like GRRR | 05:20 |
| GraemeLion | Drives me crazy, too. All these magazines have 32 bit discs on the front :P | 05:20 |
| LABcrab | Ciao! | 05:20 |
| K1rk | I wish a single 32-bit install CD could do either kernel. | 05:20 |
| K1rk | It'd be so handy. | 05:20 |
| K1rk | I have so many wasted CDs from the 1 or 2 times here and there that I have to burn a 32-bit CD to do something with an old computer. lol | 05:21 |
| fman23 | K1rk: i thought u could? it would not be a question directly asked though | 05:21 |
| phillip | fman: Couldn't find any package by regex 'libsdl-mixed1.2-dev | 05:21 |

| K1rk | So what are you guys using for desktop UI? | 05:31 |
| K1rk | I'm not a big fan of Unity yet. | 05:31 |
| GraemeLion | K1rk: I go through phases. My laptop is running Gnome shell. | 05:31 |
| fman23 | i switch between unity2d, unity, gnome shell, and kde | 05:31 |
| phillip | Configuration complete! | 05:31 |
| K1rk | GraemeLion: Gnome 3? | 05:31 |
| GraemeLion | My desktop is running Unity. | 05:32 |
| fman23 | kde might be my fav though | 05:32 |
| GraemeLion | K1rk: Unity is gnome 3 too | 05:32 |
| tp43 | I'm using xfce | 05:32 |
| fman23 | phillip: now "make;sudo make install" | 05:32 |
| K1rk | tp43 I have tried XFCE, and I do like a lot about it. | 05:32 |
| rypervenche | K1rk: I use Xfce on Debian Testing. | 05:32 |
| llutz_ | !checkinstsall | fman23 | 05:32 |
| llutz_ | !checkinstall | fman23 | 05:32 |
| ubottu | fman23: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 05:32 |
| K1rk | GraemeLion: I know Unity looks a lot like Gnome 3.... they're the same thing? | 05:33 |
| tp43 | I think desktop doesn't need to provide so much, I wish screenlets worked better though | 05:33 |
| GraemeLion | K1rk: They're just shells on top of an architecture. | 05:33 |
| phillip | fman: lol you got botted | 05:33 |
| tp43 | I use xfce, cairo-dock, compiz, and screenlets. Gnome 3 does windows scaling, but compiz does it much faster and smoother | 05:33 |
| fman23 | phillip: llutz_ wants u to use checkinstall instead of "make install" | 05:33 |
| GraemeLion | K1rk: If you go to "System Monitor" , you'll see Gnome 3.2.1 for Unity in Ubuntu 11.10 | 05:34 |
| llutz_ | fman23: its always better to install stuff using the package-managagement | 05:34 |
| tp43 | I am thinking of going back to debian, cause ubuntu is running so slow for me now | 05:34 |
| phillip | too late | 05:35 |
| phillip | ill try it later though | 05:35 |
| fman23 | llutz_: i use it a lot, but only to quickly generate packages. it might be a little confusing in this case though | 05:35 |
| GraemeLion | tp43: What about xubuntu? | 05:35 |
| llutz_ | fman23: sudo apt-get install checkinstall && sudo checkinstall very confusing. | 05:35 |
| fman23 | llutz_: no, getting the package info and stuff, unless he just leaves it at default | 05:36 |
| tp43 | GraemeLion, lxde sucks | 05:36 |
| fman23 | llutz_: which would make a package called "0.4" | 05:36 |
| tp43 | GraemeLion, xfce using gnome, so its prettier | 05:36 |
| GraemeLion | tp43: Hmm. Maybe Arch would be more for you :D | 05:36 |
| llutz_ | well, good luck in updating/uninstalling then | 05:37 |
| fman23 | llutz_: the program provides an uninstall binary | 05:37 |
| tp43 | GraemeLion, maybe, but I am gonna go for debian, its most stable, I don't care about the latest packages, stability is more important | 05:37 |

| M0rphe | Hello, I am having a problem booting from the live cd (involves a bad sector on hard drive). anyone availble to help? | 06:00 |
| mikeyfbi | im trying to follow this tutorial; https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xbox360Controller but i get these errors when i try to 'make' http://paste.ubuntu.com/773005/ | 06:00 |

| milamber | osmosis: use method 2 | 06:01 |
| mikeyfbi | anyone have luck getting an xbox360 controller recognized? | 06:01 |
| Clank50AE | I just installed an update to ubuntu in hopes that I could fix some drives. After the update, the PC needed a reboot. After the reboot though,Ubuntu goes to the login screen, but when you try to login, It goes to a black screen, says a few words and goes back to the login screen. It does this in an infinate loop | 06:02 |
| milamber | mikeyfbi: the important line is 14 in the pastebin where it says: fatal error | 06:02 |
| milamber | mikeyfbi: check the file permissions on .xpad.o.d ~ that is where your compilation failed | 06:03 |
| mikeyfbi | right clicked the file, and couldn't change permission ... then i didnt't know what to do milamber | 06:03 |
| osmosis | milamber, works like a charm | 06:03 |
| Clank50AE | Did anyone get that msg I wrote? | 06:03 |

| M0rphe | can i boot up ubuntu live cd without it trying to mount my harddrive (already installed with another linux) (ubuntu trying to mount the harddrive fails and causes kernel panic) i figured since its a live cd, it should be able to boot sucessfully, without worrying about the harddrive | 06:11 |
| Clank50AE | mebigfatguy1: Is there any other info you need at the moment? | 06:11 |
| qmanjr5 | Can someone help me troubleshoot or fix my sound issues? | 06:13 |
| milamber | mikeyfbi: i am pretty sure that the kernel no longer uses that formatting | 06:14 |
| qmanjr5 | Nevermind, got it. Had to go into alsamixer. But there's now an annoying buzzing noise D= | 06:15 |
| milamber | mikeyfbi: and that tutorial was written for a 7 series, which means it is close to five years old | 06:15 |
| milamber | mikeyfbi: i would check in ##kernel | 06:16 |
| mikeyfbi | milamber, shoot! lol k thanks | 06:16 |

| dimitri7 | hi everyone, how can I chart ICMP time responses?? Thanks. | 06:21 |
| ucenik34 | can you tell me for what is this program ? | 06:22 |
| Clank50AE | qmanjr5: yeah, I'd use it instead of windows, but It has a few to many problems on some pc's | 06:22 |
| Blackshirt | Clank,check your .iceauthority file on your home | 06:22 |
| Clank50AE | Blackshirt: How? | 06:22 |
| dr_willis | ucenik34: clarify what you mean. | 06:22 |
| escott | dimitri7, you can pipe stuff to gnuplot | 06:22 |
| dimitri7 | escott: thank you, does it have a GUI? | 06:23 |

| dimitri7 | escott: wow it plots beautifully :D | 06:24 |
| Clank50AE | Blackshirt: lol i'll have to google that, I dont know stuff like that on Ubuntu. What umber should I set it to? | 06:24 |
| Blackshirt | Clank,you can use $ls -la | 06:24 |
| silv3r_m00n | dr_willis: geany looks good | 06:24 |
| Blackshirt | Clank,sory,check ownership | 06:25 |
| Clank50AE | Blackshirt: Thats all I have to put into the console? Sorry i'm such A newb, I dont want to be a burden | 06:25 |
| Clank50AE | Blackshirt: uh... I'm not sure how to do that either | 06:25 |
| escott | dimitri7, there are guis for gnuplot, but not that many because guis for dynamic data is harder. there are also network monitoring tools most are web based | 06:26 |
| Blackshirt | If you can't login,you can switch to first console | 06:26 |
| Clank50AE | Blackshirt: Yeah, I cant login, but I can get a root shell and I can login as my user from the recovery shell | 06:27 |

| llutz_ | if you read how often "reboot" is mentioned here, they'll see it for hours daily | 07:01 |
| escott | dr_willis, your problem is that you insist on running an OS. an OS is just a fancy interface to allow you to reboot | 07:01 |

| sokak | Hello everyone :) Stoopid saturday morning question. Someone can dd over wlan? :3 | 07:13 |
| escott | sokak, you can pipe it through ssh | 07:13 |
| Lasers | sokak: Yes. People use dd to backup or destroy. | 07:14 |
| sokak | Thats cool, i follow til the pipe, then ssh gets me lost :D I guess i have to check deeper trough ssh tuts :) | 07:14 |
| sokak | Lasers, i was meant to backup my friends brand new laptops over wlan to avoid to open them physically and have the dd done the old way :) | 07:15 |
| ubuntu | hi my acer 5755 FAILS to connect to the internet using xubuntu 10.04 live CD | 07:15 |
| ubuntu | HELP | 07:15 |
| ubuntu | ACER 5755 is a brand new laptop | 07:15 |
| dimthedimmer | about how long should booting from a live cd take? seconds, minuets, hours? | 07:15 |
| sokak | escott, Lasers kudos to both for driving me in the right direction | 07:16 |
| c_smith | dimthedimmer, depends on what medium you're booting from. | 07:16 |
| ubuntu | I am using a different computer to fix my problem | 07:16 |
| sokak | dimthedimmer, until is pretty old junk, it should take few minutes. | 07:16 |
| c_smith | booting from USB is always faster. | 07:16 |
| sokak | i agree c_smith | 07:16 |
| escott | sokak, dd if=whatever | ssh user@host tee output.img | 07:16 |
| Lasers | sokak: wlan? Why not plug in the ethernet card and use livecd so the hard drive isn't active. | 07:16 |
| escott | sokak, but taking a dd image of a mounted partition is not a good idea | 07:17 |
| dimthedimmer | thank you all. | 07:17 |
| c_smith | dimthedimmer, a bootable USB stick only takes a few minutes too boot, a LiveCD takes 5-10 minutes. | 07:17 |
| sokak | escott, ty :) Lasers, because i wanted to do five/more at once without crawling up to my ruter stitched on the ceiling | 07:17 |
| escott | sokak, your image file will be corrupted | 07:17 |
| c_smith | dimthedimmer, and those are just rough estimates, hardware can easily affect the time taken. | 07:18 |
| sokak | escott, the scenario is few laptops with w7 booting from a live pendrive sitting nearby my box | 07:18 |
| Lasers | sokak: Yeah. Use LiveCD. Plug the laptop to the router/switch. DD over network to your computer or something. | 07:18 |
| sokak | A more complex question then. Can i dd to a nas drive that way? :D | 07:19 |
| c_smith | quick question to whomever knows, it's possible to ssh over a wireless connection, right? | 07:19 |
| dimthedimmer | right. thank you. | 07:19 |
| sokak | c_smith, thats a point in really interested into. | 07:19 |
| sokak | im* | 07:19 |
| c_smith | sokak, same here, I'm getting a Desktop in the near future, and ssh to update would be useful. | 07:20 |
| jjjrmy | Can someone help me with BURG, to change the icon of something? | 07:20 |
| sokak | Lasers, you reminded me i have an emtec modded multimedia hdd with ash shell i can ssh into. | 07:20 |
| escott | c_smith, you can ssh over carrier pigeon | 07:20 |
| sokak | now im getting intrigue, surely its worth a try. | 07:21 |
| c_smith | escott, carrier pidgin? what's that? | 07:21 |
| ubuntu | hi, ubuntu 10.04 FAILS to give me wired or wireless net connection on my brand new Acer 5755 laptop, help ???????? | 07:21 |
| ubuntu | I used the cd and wiped win 7 | 07:21 |
| escott | c_smith, http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1149.txt | 07:21 |
| ubuntu | cmon | 07:22 |
| sokak | ubuntu, google for your model of laptop wireless, then follow directions. Or plug it via ethernet and let jockey do its job. | 07:22 |
| ubuntu | sokak, the ethernet does not work | 07:22 |
| dr_willis | ubuntu: on a very new machine/hardware. 10.04 may not have the proper drivers | 07:22 |
| dr_willis | ubuntu: id try 11.10 on it | 07:22 |
| ubuntu | dr_willis, so 11.10 | 07:22 |
| ubuntu | 11.04 ? | 07:22 |
| sokak | i agree with dr_willis | 07:22 |
| ubuntu | damn I like xubuntu better than regular ubuntu | 07:22 |
| dr_willis | so use xubuntu 11.10 | 07:23 |
| sokak | *laughs at escott point on rfc1149 | 07:23 |
| pranav__ | hi guys any one of you use tomboy for taking notes? | 07:24 |
| sokak | here i am pranav__ | 07:24 |
| c_smith | escott, so, from reading that, I take it the Carrier Pidgin is a Wireless Connection? | 07:24 |
| sokak | c_smith, sure, but it suffers from sort of high ping | 07:24 |
| dr_willis | pranav__: it used to be real popular | 07:24 |
| pranav__ | i have a problem.. i want to create a section in a notebook | 07:24 |
| pranav__ | i dont think so it is possible | 07:24 |
| escott | c_smith, carrier pigeon is a joke. ssh runs on top of tcp/ip. if you have tcp/ip you can run ssh. doesn't matter how the packets are delivered. slap them on the back of a dolphin and train it to swim across the ocean | 07:25 |
| pranav__ | in that section i want to add notes | 07:25 |
| ubuntu | dr_willis, sokak ok | 07:25 |
| tfn2k | ubuntu | 07:25 |
| ubuntu | question? how do I create a bootable usb stick to act live a live cd ? | 07:25 |
| escott | c_smith, may not work well, may not be fast, may drop out, but it will work | 07:25 |
| sokak | pranav__, if you want to keep sort of an extended diary, look in the software center, there is a lot of software making you able to keep much articulated and searchable diaries. | 07:25 |
| dr_willis | pranav__: for a very flexiable note type system try 'tiddlywiki' | 07:25 |
| ubuntu | tfn2k, any idea I need to make a usb bootable for xubuntu 11.10 | 07:25 |
| tfn2k | yes | 07:26 |
| jjjrmy | Can someone please help me with BURG? it'll take one second | 07:26 |
| tfn2k | apt-get install unetbootin | 07:26 |
| sokak | ubuntu, boot from a live and use the included software, or just google for unetbootin | 07:26 |
| c_smith | escott, ok, let me rephrase, is it possible to ssh with an internet connection on a laptop connected to a router? | 07:26 |
| dr_willis | ubuntu: you can dd the 11.10 xubuntu cd to flash. or butn it to disk. | 07:26 |
| pranav__ | @sokak , @dr_willis thanks a lot :) | 07:26 |
| escott | c_smith, sokak and the carrier pigeon was implemented by a LUG group if you want to see photos of it | 07:26 |
| dr_willis | c_smith: yes... | 07:26 |
| ubuntu | so its unetbootin | 07:26 |
| ubuntu | ok | 07:26 |
| ubuntu | ty | 07:26 |
| c_smith | escott, also, I really got a kick out of that once I got it. | 07:26 |
| sokak | escott, i saw that, i wished to be there | 07:26 |
| tfn2k | dd if=/path.image.iso of=/dev/usbdevice | 07:27 |
| escott | c_smith, and the answer is the same. yes. you can ssh, and it will work as well as your web connection does | 07:27 |
| c_smith | dr_willis, escott, thanks for the answer, and joke. | 07:27 |
| jjjrmy | :( | 07:27 |

| dr_willis | ivd dd'd running systems.. but its not a good idea. | 07:27 |
| ubuntu | anyone have any luck with unetbootin ??? | 07:28 |
| tfn2k | sokak ok! | 07:28 |
| tfn2k | i have luck with unetbootin | 07:28 |
| ubuntu | cause last time I tried back in the eeepc days I had to revert back to winblows to make the usb bootable | 07:28 |
| dr_willis | ubuntu: check the pendrivelinux site for alternatives to unetbootin | 07:28 |
| CrazyGir | I have this wonderful desktop (haven't used in a while) who is acting up on boot. in short: i get a file not found. though if I boot with a rescue cd and drop to the shell, I can confirm that grub's menu.lst appears correct and lists files that really are there in /boot, what else could I test / dig into? | 07:28 |
| sokak | ubuntu, its a pretty self explanatory software. Pick a distro and let it download, or just use a iso file. | 07:28 |
| ubuntu | damn cant install unetbootin from live cd | 07:29 |
| sokak | dr_willis, they also suggest unetbootin as a valid and robust alternative theirself. | 07:29 |
| Tech-1 | ubuntu: w/eeepc all youhave to do is correct bios and it works fine, but, yes, unetbootin works nicely | 07:29 |
| ubuntu | ok | 07:29 |
| ubuntu | Tech-1, thanks, | 07:29 |
| dr_willis | ive had issues with unetbootin in the past. been using other tools lately | 07:29 |
| ubuntu | I guess i have to remove something form the live cd, now, because I can't even d/l unetbootin from the live cd from apt | 07:29 |
| jjjrmy | please helplpolpp me | 07:29 |
| sokak | dr_willis, thats odd to hear. Still the builtin tool in ubuntu works nicely. | 07:30 |
| dr_willis | jjjrmy: no one here seems to know burg.. | 07:30 |
| jjjrmy | dr_willis: Like all I want to do is change the icon, how? | 07:30 |
| sokak | jjjrmy, point me whats this burg, and if i can eat it. | 07:30 |
| escott | jjjrmy, (a) its not an ubuntu question (b) its just a bootloader its not that important | 07:30 |
| dr_willis | of course with 11.10 you can just use 'dd' ;) | 07:30 |
| dr_willis | jjjrmy: find it... edit it .. i guess | 07:30 |
| sokak | What O.o Does exist anything than grub? O.o | 07:31 |
| dr_willis | sokak: lilo, syslinux, burg, grub1 grub2, .. | 07:31 |
| sokak | i was joking dr_willis , still i dont feel me without grub ;P | 07:31 |
| sokak | and the supergrubdisk - i sucks in fixing grub entries -.- | 07:33 |
| lighta | hi guys, hey do you know a langage-aware difftool ? looking for C | 07:33 |
| sokak | a diff tool? Tried Meld? | 07:34 |
| dr_willis | real fun is when you learn them all.... then ger them mixxed up... | 07:34 |
| sokak | ahh, language aware one - just ignore me :3 | 07:34 |
| escott | CrazyGir, so menu.lst is grub1 and most people have switched to grub2 verify you have the write version of grub installed | 07:34 |
| jjjrmy | I did it! | 07:34 |
| jjjrmy | without any help from you guys | 07:35 |
| sokak | cheers. | 07:35 |
| dr_willis | we will still send you a bill..... | 07:35 |
| mkanyicy | escott, grub legacy not grub1 | 07:35 |
| sokak | *laughs* | 07:35 |
| dr_willis | grub legacy is grub1, is grub-pc i thought | 07:36 |
| sokak | upgrading from maveric to oneiric, shall i go trough natty, or just start from scratch would be better? | 07:36 |
| dr_willis | or am i cofused again.. its 3 am .. | 07:36 |
| ubuntu | ok i AM running from a live-cd, can I install unetbootin, d/l ubuntu 11.10 to a usb hd, and install it to a usb ? | 07:37 |
| dr_willis | sokak: clean install alwst better for me | 07:37 |
| ubuntu | having problems here | 07:37 |
| ubuntu | might need to take the computer home | 07:37 |
| mkanyicy | dr_willis, is there something called grub1 | 07:37 |
| CrazyGir | escott: how is g2 configured? | 07:37 |
| escott | dr_willis, grub-pc is 1.99 aka 2. the naming is decidedly suboptimal | 07:37 |
| dr_willis | ubuntu: the live cd has a tool to put iso on flash allready | 07:37 |
| sokak | dr_willis, i thought so, its just that im damn lazy *looks at the stacked eth wires still trying to dd over wlan to avoid to plug them* | 07:38 |
| ubuntu | dr_willis, which is this tool > | 07:38 |
| ubuntu | ? | 07:38 |
| escott | CrazyEddy, grub-pc vs 1.99 aka grub2 has a grub.cfg file and a bunch of *.mod files in /boot/grub | 07:38 |
| dr_willis | ubuntu: usb disk creator or somthig in the menus | 07:38 |
| guest_ | when I issue openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key 2048 does that generate the public or private key ? | 07:39 |
| dr_willis | ubuntu: or for a 11.10 iso you can jst use 'dd' | 07:39 |
| escott | CrazyEddy, you probably want to chroot into your system from the rescue cd and figure out what kind of grub version is available on the system and then make sure that is on the mbr | 07:39 |
| sokak | kudos to everyone, moving back to shell tryin to dd over wlan | 07:39 |
| escott | guest_, it should generate both | 07:40 |
| ubuntu | dr_willis, ok Im looking for this "tool" in xubuntu 10.04' | 07:40 |
| ubuntu | s menus | 07:40 |
| lunitunez | hi | 07:40 |
| mkanyicy | guest_, private key | 07:40 |
| dr_willis | ubuntu: i dont use xubuntu. so no idea | 07:40 |
| ubuntu | startup disk creator ? | 07:40 |
| ubuntu | found that | 07:40 |
| dr_willis | try it and see.. sounds right | 07:41 |
| ubuntu | nice | 07:41 |
| ubuntu | look right so far | 07:41 |
| mkanyicy | guest it you open it with a text editor you should see '-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----' in the first line | 07:41 |
| mkanyicy | guest_, ^^ | 07:41 |
| makara | Lenovo notebook Phoenix BIOS anyone? Why so few options? Should I flash it? | 07:44 |
| === Plinker_ is now known as Plinker | ||
| dr_willis | makara: is there some actual problem with it? | 07:49 |
| Madkiss | Generations will suffer from the horrors bestowed upon us by the NetworkManager | 07:53 |
| bazhang | Madkiss, lets take chit chat to #ubuntu-offtopic | 07:53 |
| dr_willis | cant say ive had any issues with it... | 07:53 |
| Madkiss | bazhang: How exactly is "My Network Manager interferes with /etc/network/interfaces and cuts the connection to the box every 5 minutes although I did every possible thing I know to just disable it" "chit chat"? | 07:54 |
| dr_willis | 'suffer the horrors...' is vague ramblings.. | 07:55 |
| bazhang | Madkiss, I was referring to the subsequent commentary, "the horrors" etc | 07:55 |
| Madkiss | I don't even know what it's doing. It's setting a default-route on wlan0 to 192.168.122.1, which is an IP that never has even existed anyhwere in my LAN. | 07:55 |
| makara | dr_willis: no | 07:55 |
| dr_willis | makara: if you have no need to flash it..... | 07:56 |
| Madkiss | So I have no idea where it's getting that address from. and it constantly refuses to just not do anything, either. | 07:56 |
| arezitha | hola | 07:56 |
| lunitunez | I have ubuntu server setup as an NTP server, and attempting to install CUCM, but it will not advance till it successfully queries the NTP server. I fired up wireshark on a third VM and see them communicating but with this error in the packet: Leap Indicator: unknown (clock unsynchronized) Peer Clock Stratum: unspecified or invalid. So Im assuming if I can assign ntpd a stratum number that it | 07:56 |
| lunitunez | would advance | 07:56 |
| lunitunez | and CUCM keeps rejecting the NTP server address and will not advance in the install until it does | 07:57 |
| bullgard4 | How to copy a string of text from rxvt-unicode to clipboard and then from clipboard to another terminal? | 07:57 |
| Madkiss | I have this in my ntp.conf FWIW | 07:57 |
| Madkiss | fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 10 | 07:57 |
| lunitunez | im not familiar with fudge Madkiss what is that | 07:57 |
| lunitunez | hostname? | 07:58 |
| Madkiss | lunitunez: "man ntp.conf" will get you a detailed description of the fudge keyword, better than I could. | 07:58 |
| makara | dr_willis: what about 64x Ubuntu. Should I stick with 32? I just don't want to change my mind down the line. A lot of programs I'm going to be setting up | 07:58 |
| lunitunez | thanks ill do that | 07:58 |
| guest_ | does anybody know what is contained in a csr file certification signing request file that you give to verisign? | 07:58 |
| dr_willis | makara: use 64bit if you have 64bit hardware | 07:59 |
| koko_ | hello | 07:59 |
| koko_ | how can i install jack kit on my linux ? | 07:59 |
| guest_ | I just do want to be sending my private key to them | 07:59 |
| Madkiss | makara: Do you have more than 4 gigs of ram in your machine? | 07:59 |
| Madkiss | makara: on i386, a single program can not use more than 4 gigs of ram, and the kernel can not address more than 4 gigs of ram directly either (that's what people use the PAE kernels for). If your CPU can do x86_64, go for that. | 08:01 |
| makara | Madkiss: 8meg | 08:01 |
| Madkiss | hu? | 08:01 |
| Madkiss | 8 megabytes of ram? So it's an embedded device? | 08:01 |
| makara | gig sorry | 08:01 |
| dr_willis | definatly go 64bit then | 08:02 |
| Madkiss | dr_willis++; | 08:02 |
| Madkiss | everything else will give you headache sooner or later. | 08:02 |
| Madkiss | and all the typical end-user-binary things are available for 64bit by now anyway. | 08:03 |
| makara | i want to install from usb. alternative or desktop iso? | 08:03 |
| susundberg | makara: both works afaik | 08:03 |
| dr_willis | makara: they install the same ubuntu desktop | 08:03 |
| nahab | hi, hab itunes mit wine installiert, wenn ich es öffne, wird der halbe Bildschirm schwarz, wieso passiert sowas? | 08:04 |
| Madkiss | makara: i think the alternative iso is mainly necessary if you need LVM during the installation, which is not available in the desktop isos. apart from that, desktop ought towork. | 08:04 |
| penguin359 | hello | 08:05 |
| Madkiss | nahab: the desktop images do have an X11 based installation, which the alternative disk has not, so that might influence the decision too | 08:05 |
| Madkiss | s/nahab/makara/ | 08:06 |
| dr_willis | x11 gui based installer.. | 08:06 |
| penguin359 | When Canonical releases an update or security patch on oneirc-{security,updates}, do those updates ever make it onto the oneirc distribution or does oneirc simply reflect the packages versions frozen at the time of release of the CD-ROM ISO? | 08:07 |
| makara | desktop it is | 08:07 |
| makara | thanks | 08:07 |
| dr_willis | penguin359: every so often they do a updated cd. like a 11.10.01 | 08:07 |
| dr_willis | penguin359: not really sure when they do this. mainly for lts i belive | 08:08 |
| makara | last question: The notebook came with Win7. Should I dual-boot or clean the whole dang thing? | 08:08 |
| lunitunez | Madkiss I salute you, I've been trying to get this shit to work for HOURS and that did it | 08:08 |
| susundberg | makara: i suggest dualboot -- why delete working OS | 08:09 |
| lunitunez | thank you | 08:09 |
| penguin359 | dr_willis: yes, they've only done that for 6.04, 8.04, and 10.04 LTS releases | 08:09 |
| llutz_ | makara: if you won't use win7, remove it | 08:09 |
| bullgard4 | How to copy a string of text from rxvt-unicode to clipboard and then from clipboard to another terminal? | 08:09 |
| Madkiss | lunitunez: you're most welcome | 08:10 |
| dr_willis | bullgard4: clipbord managers can sync the 'selection' buffer to the clipbord. | 08:10 |
| penguin359 | 10.04.0, 10.04.1, 10.04.2, etc represent a release of a new ISO of Ubuntu 10.04. | 08:10 |
| susundberg | llutz_: why? it wouldn't harm the ubuntu. It spends some 50G of harddisk but if there is plenty of that available it still is a working os | 08:10 |
| dr_willis | bullgard4: or select, then middle click. ;) | 08:10 |
| weyer | is there a way to make te screen 'flash' from the CLI ? sort of as cheese does when taking a photograph? | 08:10 |
| Amdpc | Hi..I want Ubuntu + Fedora (DUal boot)...Is it possible ? | 08:11 |
| llutz_ | susundberg: still 2 waisted partitions for stuff you don't need | 08:11 |
| dr_willis | Amdpc: yes its possible | 08:11 |
| susundberg | llutz_: and not to say that i have ended up in situations where some badly designed web services (such as video stream) work only with windows - so i have to usually keep it as failsafe | 08:11 |
| Amdpc | How ? | 08:11 |
| penguin359 | My question is whether packages on the lucid distribution are updates to newer versions outside of a CD release, as opposed to packages on lucid-security, lucid-updates, etc. | 08:11 |
| llutz_ | susundberg: it's your choice to do what you like. | 08:11 |
| penguin359 | weyer: you mean like a visual bell? | 08:12 |
| weyer | yes | 08:12 |
| susundberg | llutz_: ya, and you are also correct, its waste of space surely if one does not need it .. | 08:12 |
| Amdpc | dr_willis : How to do that ? / | 08:12 |
| penguin359 | The simple way is to write Control-G to the screen. | 08:12 |
| llutz_ | susundberg: and if you nearly never use that win, it won't be updated. you don't want to go online with a never updated windows at all | 08:12 |
| penguin359 | try echo ^G | 08:12 |
| bullgard4 | dr_willis: "select, then middle click" does not work. Instead, the old contents of the clipboard will be pasted. | 08:13 |
| penguin359 | in order to get ^G, you must hit Ctrl-V and Ctrl-G on the keyboard | 08:13 |
| penguin359 | don't type a literal ^ followed by a G. | 08:13 |
| Amdpc | dr_willis : Because grub is unable to detect fedora on a diffrent partition..I tried Installing fedora first and then Ubuntu.. | 08:13 |
| dr_willis | bullgard4: try some of the clipbord manager tools. ive had some desktops not touch the 'selection' buffer. not tried it lately | 08:14 |
| dr_willis | Amdpc: make your own custome entry for grub for the other os. | 08:14 |
| dr_willis | Amdpc: and put in the grub configs | 08:14 |
| Amdpc | dr_willis : Ok.. Thanks :-) | 08:15 |
| DeltaEpsilon | can I buy Ubuntu? | 08:16 |
| tensorpudding | you can order dvds | 08:18 |
| susundberg | DeltaEpsilon: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/cds | 08:18 |
| tensorpudding | the price is nominal, though, the software is ree | 08:18 |
| susundberg | "Ubuntu is completely free. The price covers the cost of the CDs, postage & packaging" | 08:19 |
| dr_willis | computer magazines are often at bookstores with cd's also | 08:19 |
| Amdpc | <DeltaEpsilon> : http://shop.canonical.com/index.php?cPath=17 | 08:19 |
| DeltaEpsilon | like this http://shop.canonical.com/product_info.php?products_id=704 | 08:20 |
| iceroot | DeltaEpsilon: you can buy ubuntu-cd/dvds. you can also download the cd/dvd for free (as in free bear). also all software from the cd is free as in free speech | 08:22 |
| TikaTaka | is anyone here? | 08:23 |
| susundberg | "(as in free bear)" ;) | 08:23 |
| iceroot | TikaTaka: /n | 08:23 |
| iceroot | susundberg: :) | 08:23 |
| DeltaEpsilon | :D | 08:23 |
| TikaTaka | why /n iceroot ? | 08:23 |
| DeltaEpsilon | I would like to have a free bear | 08:23 |
| iceroot | TikaTaka: to see all nicks here | 08:23 |
| TikaTaka | i mean't is anyone here and active, but i think ive had my question answered :) | 08:24 |
| LifeIsPain | DeltaEpsilon: I wouldn't, having to pay to feed that bear... that would get really spendy | 08:24 |
| LifeIsPain | now if I could be given a free bear, and then sell it, that could be good | 08:24 |
| compdoc | leave bears alone | 08:24 |
| TASK | Hi, a friend has a problem to install his HP Laser printer. What should he install cups or something else? | 08:24 |
| TikaTaka | does anyone know why the software center doesnt work when i try to install a program | 08:25 |
| bullgard4 | dr_willis: I disagree installing programs like Glipper or Glippy. I have copied text strings vom rxvt-unicode to clipboard without an intermediary. But I forgot how I have done it. | 08:25 |
| iceroot | TASK: cups is installed by default but there are hplib packages which contain drivers for hp printers | 08:25 |
| TikaTaka | is the amd64 distro of linux hardy likely to be more buggy than the x86 version ? | 08:25 |
| iceroot | TikaTaka: no | 08:25 |
| TikaTaka | then how come i cant seem to install anything in the software center | 08:25 |
| iceroot | TikaTaka: but hardy is no longer supported (only the server edition) | 08:26 |
| bullgard4 | TikaTaka: No. Quite the contrary. | 08:26 |
| iceroot | !eol | TikaTaka | 08:26 |

| Gateway` | hello everybody | 08:26 |
| TikaTaka | which version is supported ? | 08:26 |
| iceroot | TikaTaka: 10.04 and everything higher | 08:26 |
| dr_willis | bullgard4: ive seen wm and desktop tools that sync the 2. i know glippy and otherscan | 08:26 |
| weyer | penguin359: that is not doing anything | 08:27 |
| TikaTaka | well i did a net install using http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer | 08:27 |
| dr_willis | bullgard4: select and middle click worked here last i tried | 08:27 |
| TikaTaka | i assume it would be the latest? | 08:27 |
| iceroot | TikaTaka: that is 12.04 | 08:27 |
| iceroot | TikaTaka: which is not stable | 08:27 |
| iceroot | TikaTaka: the latest stable-release is 11.10 (oneiric) | 08:28 |
| TikaTaka | is there a net install for it ? | 08:28 |
| bullgard4 | dr_willis: I do not know why it does not work here on my Ubuntu 11.10 Thinkpad T61. | 08:28 |
| iceroot | TikaTaka: of course | 08:28 |

| Gateway` | I mean iptables .... -s 192.168.1.160/27 | 08:29 |
| wp | hi, what would be the proper way to restart networking in 11.10? its highly confusing :( | 08:29 |
| TikaTaka | i guess oneiric is here: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/oneiric/ | 08:30 |
| iceroot | TikaTaka: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/oneiric/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/mini.iso | 08:30 |
| iceroot | TikaTaka: or the amd64 if you need http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/oneiric/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/mini.iso | 08:31 |
| iceroot | minimal should be the same as netinstall | 08:31 |
| wp | anyone? :) | 08:31 |
| TikaTaka | do i just replace my current mini.iso on my tftp server with that one then ? | 08:31 |
| iceroot | TikaTaka: tftp? sounds like pxe | 08:31 |
| TikaTaka | yea thats how im booting | 08:32 |
| iceroot | pxe can handle isos? | 08:32 |
| iceroot | TikaTaka: if that is working, yes you only have to replace the iso | 08:32 |
| TikaTaka | there's a mini.iso file there | 08:32 |
| compdoc | wp sudo service networking restart | 08:32 |
| iceroot | TikaTaka: but why pxe with a netinstall-image? | 08:32 |
| compdoc | is one way | 08:32 |
| TikaTaka | i dont have a spare USB :) so i setup a tftp server and the laptop supports pxe booting | 08:33 |
| TikaTaka | thats how i installed 12 | 08:33 |
| TikaTaka | it worked, so i didnt complain | 08:34 |
| TikaTaka | i have a spare windows machine, using http://tftpd32.jounin.net/ it also has support for PXE | 08:34 |
| compdoc | windows?! omg! | 08:35 |
| TikaTaka | don't have a baby :) | 08:35 |
| compdoc | that would hurt | 08:36 |
| wp | compdoc: restart: Unknown instance: | 08:36 |
| wp | compdoc: this is why i'm confused, i hate the new system ;P | 08:36 |
| compdoc | wp, try service networking start | 08:36 |
| wp | compdoc: networking stop/waiting | 08:37 |
| wp | is the output ? | 08:37 |
| compdoc | err, sudo service networking start | 08:37 |
| compdoc | also, sudo service networking status | 08:37 |
| compdoc | sounds like its up now | 08:37 |
| wp | same output. :) | 08:38 |
| compdoc | now try sudo service networking restart | 08:38 |
| wp | restart: Unknown instance: | 08:38 |
| wp | when i try stop, it says stop: Unknown instance: | 08:39 |
| wp | piece of shit... :) | 08:39 |
| compdoc | hmmm, well there is another way | 08:39 |
| auronandace | wp: please refrain from profanities | 08:39 |
| DeltaEpsilon | how to add my username to an extra group? | 08:40 |

| llutz_ | DeltaEpsilon: sudo adduser user group | 08:40 |
| InsanityWerks | wondering is there a way to disable the use of passwords in ubuntu 11.10? | 08:40 |
| compdoc | sudo /etc/init.d/networking start (or stop) | 08:40 |
| auronandace | InsanityWerks: if you are refering to password when using sudo then i would highly advise against that | 08:41 |
| wp | auronandace: im trying to restart my networking, thats all :) | 08:41 |
| auronandace | wp: so you don't need to swear then | 08:42 |
| wp | thats true, im swearing at the person who made this up ;) | 08:42 |
| InsanityWerks | not that password just when starting my pc and when it come back from the screensaver | 08:42 |
| wp | auronandace: do you have an idea whats going on perhaps? | 08:43 |
| compdoc | which version of ubuntu? maybe its old | 08:43 |
| auronandace | wp: sorry, my network works fine | 08:43 |
| wp | compdoc: 11.10 | 08:43 |
| DeltaEpsilon | when using kvm on ubuntu, can I use my own kernel in the guest? | 08:43 |

| wp | sattu941: i have the same issue? :) | 08:43 |
| tp43 | i was getting dead battery warning, my screen would go blank and my dvdrom wasn't working, but then I installed debian, and my screen is working again | 08:44 |
| weyer | I have the full screen visual bell working, but it dims the screen shortly. is there a command to do the opposite? flash it white? I need that to have a 'flash' on a scriptbased based snapshot taker with webcam | 08:44 |
| tp43 | I am totally shocked to see my screen working after so long | 08:44 |
| auronandace | InsanityWerks: if you have a password prompt when you turn it on then that is most likely set in the bios (not a ubuntu issue) | 08:44 |
| InsanityWerks | ok | 08:44 |
| sattu941 | wp: I mostly worked around it using /etc/init.d/networking {start,stop,restart}... | 08:44 |
| auronandace | InsanityWerks: for the screensaver there should be some settings somewhere (i'm not sure since i don't use screensavers) | 08:45 |

| TACPILOT | there is a term for the names of distros like natty or hardy of lisa .. what is the name for that type of naming convention ?? | 08:45 |
| compdoc | wp, guess you didnt see my other method | 08:45 |
| compdoc | sudo /etc/init.d/networking start (or stop) | 08:46 |
| auronandace | TACPILOT: lisa? that is from mint? | 08:47 |
| TACPILOT | yeah | 08:47 |
| wp | compdoc: http://pastebin.com/vNff0Va5 | 08:47 |
| wp | compdoc: this is why its a bit confusing for me :) | 08:47 |
| auronandace | TACPILOT: ask mint about their naming conventions | 08:47 |
| compdoc | wp, that shows it worked | 08:48 |
| auronandace | !mint | TACPILOT | 08:48 |

| wp | compdoc: hmm ok? :), i added some ipv6 config (static) and its not parsing it | 08:48 |
| compdoc | wp, with network-manager, things might act differntly. I dont use it myself | 08:48 |
| wp | im not using X | 08:48 |
| TACPILOT | when refering to a version by name and not number | 08:49 |
| compdoc | one of these days, I'll have to learn ipv6. but not today | 08:49 |
| wp | :) | 08:50 |
| compdoc | wp, if you open the files in /etc/init.d, you can see what commands they support. not all support 'restart' | 08:50 |
| penguin359 | weyer: yes, it's possible, but a whole lot more complicated. | 08:50 |
| weyer | any hints on where to look? if I look for anything 'flash' related I end up on well, flash-related items :-) | 08:51 |
| wp | yeah, i've seen some of them. thing is how i know why ipv6 is not working? iḿ 100% sure the config is ok | 08:51 |
| penguin359 | weyer: you could send an escape sequence to set the background color to white, followed by an escape sequence to clear the screen, then set the color to black and clear the screen again. | 08:51 |
| wp | also when is sudo /etc/init.d/networking stop, i expect my ssh session to drop, which doesnt happen :) | 08:51 |
| ucenik34 | i have problem with my facebook | 08:51 |

| ucenik32 | pece | 08:52 |

| compdoc | i | 08:56 |
| wp | that part is ok too :) | 08:56 |
| wp | but the fact is can stop networking, and still ssh into that box is odd | 08:57 |
| wp | :) | 08:57 |
| compdoc | for sure | 08:57 |
| compdoc | you sure its actually working if its stopped? maybe ssh isnt reacting | 08:57 |
| wp | compdoc: yep 100% sure | 08:58 |
| wp | its actually stopped right now, and im still on irc :) | 08:58 |

| compdoc | ubuntu desktop if you want a desktop | 09:04 |

| compdoc | <llutz_> wp: tried "sudo ifdown -a && sudo ifup -a"? | 09:06 |
| compdoc | suggested | 09:06 |
| wp | havent tried that | 09:06 |
| Yusuke | llutz_ : can't find .mozilla in there, i watch a video in firefox and want to see the cache | 09:06 |
| llutz_ | Yusuke: its (as the name shows) a hidden dir | 09:07 |
| Yusuke | oh | 09:07 |
| Yusuke | forgot a dot infront will hide a folder | 09:08 |
| Yusuke | how may i view it | 09:08 |
| llutz_ | Yusuke: nautilus ctrl-h iirc to make it visible | 09:08 |
| Yusuke | ok | 09:08 |
| wp | compdoc: networking status output, still shows stopped/waiting :) | 09:08 |
| compdoc | shows that on one of my servers too | 09:08 |
| penguin359 | weyer: here's a more complete example that restores the screen on exit. | 09:09 |
| penguin359 | echo -ne '\e[?1049h\e[?25l\e[47m\e[2J'; sleep 1; echo -ne '\e[m\e[2J\e[?25h\e[?1049l' | 09:09 |
| wp | compdoc: odd eh? :) | 09:10 |
| weyer | looks promising. and would it be able to send that to the X-server itself, for a full screen 'blink'? | 09:10 |

| SirDidi | ikonia, ah okay, there r some driver problems on my laptop | 09:56 |
| ikonia | abhay_: I suspect it is detected as fluxbox/gnome use the same OS, just the gui doesn't know how to configure it in fluxbox | 09:56 |
| abhay_ | is there any daemon that runs on starup in gnome but not in fluxbox? | 09:57 |
| abhay_ | that could be the prob | 09:57 |
| ikonia | abhay_: many, it's a totally different desktop, but none that would "the problem" | 09:57 |
| === DefaultIdentity is now known as N00bish | ||
| ikonia | abhay_: the OS will see the modem, however fluxbox probably just doesn't have the coniguration tools to deal with it, or you're not using the right one | 09:58 |
| abhay_ | thanks ikonia. i will continue to google it | 09:59 |
| Yeeha | /join ubuntu | 09:59 |
| ikonia | abhay_: I'd be confident that the OS does see it though as gnome/fluxbox use the same OS - so if one can see it, the other one will too, it's just the configuration tool you need to work with | 10:00 |
| abhay_ | well found it. it is called "nm-applet". it doesnt run at startup in fluxbox. | 10:01 |
| abhay_ | that solved the problem | 10:01 |

| Yeeha | Does 11.10 still use unity? | 10:02 |
| ikonia | Yeeha: yes | 10:02 |
| ikonia | abhay_: it's not part of fluxbox, that's why it doesn't run | 10:02 |

| mal93 | if i open the url i have to download the file to play | 11:43 |
| jutnux | Uno momento senor. | 11:44 |
| yacc | mal93 you should try to access the url via say wget -S (or curl -D /dev/fd/1) so that you see what the server is providing. | 11:44 |
| jutnux | mal93: http://radio.rinse.fm/rinseradio.m3u | 11:44 |

| FooBarMartijn | Gentoo64, I'll give it a swing. Maybe it doesn't in Unity, maybe it does. Anyway, I'll see where it brings me | 11:47 |
| yacc | Gentoo64: the issue starts with the fact that the initramfs continues to load the nouveau KMS module, ... | 11:47 |

| bazhang | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MATLAB Ubu_noob read this yet? | 12:15 |
| Snorrre | I'm on a win7 machine, and ubuntu cant seem to find my harddrives | 12:15 |
| ManDay | dr_willis: I don't know. I'ven't configured anything. I just install lightDM and booted. | 12:16 |
| auronandace | Snorrre: are you using wubi? | 12:16 |
| dr_willis | Snorrre: pastebin the output of 'sudo fdisk -l' from the live cd so we can see your disk layout. | 12:16 |
| dr_willis | ManDay: and your video card is? | 12:16 |
| ManDay | pfifo: What do you mean by "my .xsession"? | 12:16 |
| dr_willis | ManDay: and what were you using befor? | 12:16 |
| Snorrre | Sorry, ive trie to explain a bit more. 2 sec :) | 12:17 |
| dr_willis | ManDay: the file .xsession - whats in it. | 12:17 |
| ManDay | pfifo: lightDM runs without a user | 12:17 |
| Ubu_noob | bazhang: yes i have i actually still have it open but the sudo /media/ blah blah/ install part does not work for me for me it should be sudo mlfolder/install | 12:17 |
| ManDay | dr_willis: Where is that file? | 12:17 |
| Ubu_noob | but it doesnt work | 12:17 |
| dr_willis | ManDay: your users home dir normally | 12:17 |
| ManDay | dr_willis: I did not use anything before. I just set that system up from scratch | 12:17 |
| ManDay | dr_willis: In what users home dir?! | 12:17 |
| dr_willis | ManDay: 'from scratch' meaning what exactly? | 12:17 |
| ManDay | dr_willis: What you and pfifo say doesn't make much sense | 12:17 |
| ManDay | Why would lightDM fail just because a single user has no .xsession | 12:18 |
| dr_willis | ManDay: you need to give more details.. we are assuming you did a normal install. | 12:18 |
| Snorrre | I'm on a win 7 machine, with a raid 0 setup. First i tried the "dualinstall option" but when i restarted the computer, i cant find any disk to root. Then i tried to install ubuntu on a seperate partition, but when i come to the step where i need to choose wich harddrive to install it on, i got zero options. | 12:18 |
| dr_willis | ManDay: if it was auto logging in.. for one reason | 12:18 |
| Ubu_noob | how can i run and installer as a root user? even though i am the only user | 12:18 |
| ManDay | dr_willis: This is how I got to where I am: debootstrap ; apt-get install xfce4 lightdm casper linux-generic | 12:18 |
| jutnux | !sudo | ubu_noob | 12:19 |
| ubottu | ubu_noob: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 12:19 |
| ManDay | dr_willis: So let's rule this out. Where is configured whether lightDM autologins? | 12:19 |
| dr_willis | ManDay: using debootstrap - eww. :) I would guess that somthing lightdm is wanting is not installed yet. No idea what. | 12:19 |
| jutnux | Ubu_noob: Basically, run anything with sudo and you have permissions of God. | 12:19 |
| ManDay | dr_willis: Well, I can't really know: I just relied on apt to resolve the deps | 12:19 |
| dr_willis | ManDay: you could go to the console, and try a 'startx' to verify that X is working after stoping lightdm. | 12:19 |
| Ubu_noob | ya but the installer is a gui | 12:19 |
| ManDay | dr_willis: xfce works fine | 12:19 |
| ManDay | (if I start it directly) | 12:20 |
| dr_willis | Ubu_noob: gksudo theinstaller | 12:20 |
| dr_willis | ManDay: now abouit if you just start 'sudo lightdm' from the console. and look for error mesages | 12:20 |
| Ubu_noob | dr_willis: i do that and the terminal is doings something but the installer never pops up | 12:20 |
| ManDay | dr_willis: no errors | 12:20 |
| dr_willis | Snorrre: keep it in the channel please. | 12:20 |
| ManDay | dr_willis: The log of lightdm just says it starts and stops constantly | 12:21 |
| mah454 | i need change resolution , please | 12:21 |
| ManDay | dr_willis: i'll paste you the log, one second please | 12:21 |
| mah454 | my standard resolution is 1366x768 but system luck in 1024x768 ! | 12:21 |
| mah454 | how can fix this ? | 12:21 |
| jutnux | mah454: What graphics card do you have? | 12:22 |
| ManDay | http://paste.pocoo.org/show/522042/ <--- dr_willis pfifo | 12:22 |
| ManDay | you see it just goes ON OFF ON OFF ON OFF | 12:22 |
| ManDay | (and that's what it looks like, it just flickers ON OFF ON OFF ON OFF) | 12:23 |
| ManDay | in the split seconds in is ON I can see a black background and a mousepointer. as if X had been started without any WM | 12:23 |
| mah454 | jutnux, 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) | 12:24 |
| mah454 | jutnux, i installed mesa library and utils ! | 12:24 |
| jutnux | mah454: Have you looked in your display settings? | 12:25 |
| tgambit65 | Ok ran additional drivers but doesn't see the card. The CD it came with has linux drivers on in but, no idea how to install them. Doesn't seem to newbiefied instructions with it. lol Anyway in the directory for linux it has several scripts. autoconf_rtl8192c_usb_linux.h, clean, ifcfg-wlan0, Makefile, runwpa, wlan0dhcp, wpa1.conf. There are also four other directories named core, hal, include, and os dep. And sorry guys not sure what lsu | 12:25 |
| Snorrre | dr_willis: I just need Ubuntu to run on this computer, alongeside windows. Just need to get ubuntu to work, so i can run a linux only program to unbrick my androidphone. Got any pointers on what i should do? | 12:25 |
| bazhang | tgambit65, run the command lsusb from the terminal and paste.ubuntu.com with the output (giving us the url) | 12:26 |
| bazhang | tgambit65, with the computer powered up and the card inserted, of course | 12:26 |
| tgambit65 | ok will do | 12:27 |
| ManDay | Does anyone know why the gnome-network-manager nm-applet is themed differently than my XFCE4 windows?! It seems to just use Raleigh while the rest of the system repects the current theme! | 12:27 |
| dr_willis | Snorrre: if you just need to run ubuntu for a short time for a single app. you could just use the live cd | 12:28 |
| Snorrre | dr_willis: Is that the same as running ubuntu, from a flash drive? | 12:29 |
| dr_willis | ManDay: they may be using gtk3 and xfce is still using gtk2 | 12:29 |
| dr_willis | Snorrre: yes. | 12:29 |
| dr_willis | Snorrre: you an do a live install, or a ful linstall to a flash drive | 12:29 |
| Snorrre | dr_willis: I got that option after creating a boot able usb stick, with ubuntu on it. And sence it couldnt find any disks I quit, and i got throwned into the Live CD part. That sould be the same right? | 12:30 |
| dr_willis | Snorrre: thats the live desktop. yes. | 12:30 |
| dr_willis | Snorrre: you can run stuff and isntall there to your ram, or a persistant save file on the flash | 12:30 |
| AR-Brad | Hi, I'm trying to install Wubi, but for some reason Windows keeps giving me the error "pyl467.tmp.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorrt for the inconvenience". Is there a way to fix this? | 12:31 |
| pfifo | ManDay, looks likethe problem is here, DEBUG: Launching process 4384: /usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm-greeter-session '/usr/sbin/unity-greeter' | 12:31 |
| mah454 | jutnux, yes i look . but i can not change more then 1024x768 ! | 12:31 |
| pfifo | ManDay, does /usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm-greeter-session exist? if so pastebin | 12:31 |
| Snorrre | dr_willis: Ah cool. But i recon i need to install alot of drivers, for the system to connect to my phone. Would that work with the live desktop? | 12:31 |
| dr_willis | Snorrre: no idea what 'drivers' you would install for the phone. For my phones/rooting i just needed the adb/android sdk. i think. | 12:32 |
| dr_willis | i rooted all my phones via 'super one click' on windows | 12:32 |
| AR-Brad | can I get some help? | 12:32 |
| Snorrre | dr_willis: That should be enough i tihnk. Its a Nexus S. But i got a smal problem with the live desktop. I manage to connect to my wifi, but for some reason the live desktop cant connect to the internet. | 12:33 |
| dr_willis | AR-Brad: check the forums for that exact error message? I dont use wubi. | 12:33 |
| Snorrre | dr_willis: The problem is that the phone is now bricked, and i need to run an unbrick application in ubuntu, to acc3ess the fastboot :) | 12:33 |
| ManDay | http://paste.pocoo.org/show/522046/ > pfifo | 12:33 |
| AR-Brad | dr_willis, alright. I'll look around. thanks. | 12:33 |
| _gm | Snorrre: you dont need any special drivers on ubuntu; android ask is more than enough. | 12:34 |
| ManDay | pfifo: Yeah looks like it want's unity-greeter then! | 12:34 |
| tgambit65 | Ok pasted the output | 12:34 |
| pfifo | ManDay, does /usr/sbin/unity-greeter exist? | 12:34 |
| ManDay | it does | 12:34 |
| pfifo | ManDay, is it a shell script? | 12:35 |
| ManDay | Nope | 12:35 |
| Snorrre | Then i tihnk i can manage to get it working. But the problem now is that i cant access internet on the live desktop, even tough it is connected to the network | 12:35 |
| ManDay | But I don't have unity... | 12:35 |
| ManDay | I guess lightDM requires Unity, after all... urgh | 12:35 |
| pfifo | ManDay, try replacing /usr/sbin/unity-greeter with a link to startxfce4 | 12:36 |
| tgambit65 | bazhang did you see last message? Pasted output of lsusb to pastebin. Thanks for help man. | 12:37 |
| tgambit65 | Sorry took so long had to hook laptop to internet first via cat 5 | 12:38 |
| dr_willis | ManDay: seems there may be other 'greeters' in /usr/share/xgreeters/ | 12:41 |
| pfifo | ManDay, there seems to be a few different greeters https://launchpad.net/lightdm-gtk-greeter | 12:41 |
| dr_willis | from what i can tell unity-greeter just does the position of the login/gear buttons.. i think | 12:41 |
| Snorrre | dr_willis: Do you know what could be the problem, with the internet access? All other devices connects, but the live desktop connects aswell, but not even firefox works. | 12:42 |
| dr_willis | Snorrre: check by pinging your dns servers, and router/gateway | 12:42 |
| new2linx | i know this is Ubuntu channel but does anyone know what file to edit in OSX 8.8.2 to add my Ubuntu headless server NFS share so that when i fire up OSX the NFS is auto mounted. The /etc/fstab.hd file isn' | 12:42 |
| new2linx | 't used by OSX 8.8.2 | 12:42 |
| dr_willis | new2linx: there are OSX channels on freenode | 12:43 |
| asif | hi...how can i make desktop video in order to share on youtube..? | 12:43 |
| dr_willis | asif: 'recordmydesktop' in the repos. and the gui to it. | 12:43 |
| Snorrre | dr_willis: Thats a bit to advanced for me. Ive heard about DNS servers, but got no idea what it is. It tried to ping a webside in the terminal, but using the command "ping www.cnn.com" | 12:43 |
| jutnux | !recordmydesktop | asif | 12:43 |
| tgambit65 | Ok I am stupid I see now needed to give you URL. paste.ubuntu.com/773244/ | 12:43 |
| dr_willis | Snorrre: and does it reply? | 12:43 |
| jutnux | asif: recordmydesktop, ffmpeg, there are lots of them! | 12:43 |
| new2linx | dr_willis, yeap, and i've been in em for over a week. LOL nothing, just throwing out feelers. | 12:44 |
| Snorrre | dr_willis: Nope. It times out. And i checked again if its connect on the wifi, and it is. | 12:44 |
| dr_willis | Snorrre: try pinging (74.125.225.80) | 12:44 |
| asif | jutnux: which one is easier..? | 12:44 |
| jutnux | asif: RecordMyDesktop with a GUI. | 12:44 |
| dr_willis | Snorrre: try pinging the ip of your router, or other mahcines on the lan. | 12:44 |
| new2linx | dr_willis, not beig arogant but I am not a beginner. i've been around the block for 5 years now. | 12:44 |
| asif | jutnux: ok thank you | 12:44 |
| Snorrre | dr_willis: ok, ill try to ping the ip you just adressed, and i will try to ping everything else on the network. I'll try it now. | 12:45 |
| new2linx | dr_willis, yes i've googled it, yes i've been in OSX irc, yes I have tweeted macrumors, yes I have searched macrumors, etc etc. LOL | 12:45 |
| dr_willis | new2linx: i doubt if theres going to be many answers in here on OSX - you may have better luck in the BSD channels | 12:45 |
| laerne | Hello, I have a driver problem with my wireless card. I've installed the recommended driver, but my card is still unrecognized by ifconfig | 12:45 |
| new2linx | dr_willis, ok, good tip. thank you. i always at least ask only because i never know when there's someone out there like me who runs all 3 major OS's on their network | 12:46 |
| * dr_willis finally tossed out his OS-X box :) | 12:46 | |
| ManDay | pfifo: What is the point? | 12:47 |
| new2linx | dr_willis, this is an apple tv version 1 running OS 8.8.2 for XBMC | 12:47 |
| ManDay | dr_willis: pfifo : *IS* it trying to autologin or not? | 12:47 |
| new2linx | dr_willis, with the crystal HD chip for my 1080p streaming pleasure. :-) | 12:47 |
| ManDay | Isn't the "greeter" the login screen? | 12:47 |
| ManDay | Why would I replace the login screen with xfce?! | 12:47 |
| pfifo | ManDay, I do not know, im on 10.04 and it dosent use lightdm, im not sure how it works... yet | 12:48 |
| dr_willis | ManDay: the greeter is like the 'theme' the login screen is using i belive. | 12:48 |
| Ubu_noob | Does anyone know there the launcher for MATLAB is ? | 12:48 |
| new2linx | dr_willis, ManDay yes, greeter's are a GUI login screen to get you to your default desktop setup | 12:48 |
| dr_willis | Ubu_noob: its possiuble it dident make one.. if it did not come as a .deb | 12:49 |
| new2linx | ManDay, are you getting help from someone? I have a moment if not | 12:49 |
| pfifo | ManDay, do an `apt-cache search greeter` and see if you can find a xfce4 greeter | 12:49 |
| dr_willis | Ubu_noob: look to see if it installed a .desktop file somewhere. | 12:49 |
| dr_willis | Ubu_noob: or just make a launcher/.desktop file for it | 12:50 |
| Ubu_noob | dr_willis: i dont know how to do that, :( | 12:50 |
| Ubu_noob | and i dont see a .desktop folder in the Matlab folder | 12:50 |
| Snorrre | Dr_willis: When i try to ping trough the live desktop now, nothing happens | 12:51 |
| dr_willis | its a .desktop FILE | 12:51 |
| Snorrre | Dr_willis: It just say: Ping (192.168.1.100) 56 (84) bytes of data. And nothing more | 12:53 |
| Ubu_noob | how can i gain access to write to the usr/local/ folders | 12:53 |
| pfifo | I just made some fresh coffee, care for a cup dr_willis? ManDay? | 12:53 |
| wt0vremr | Ubu_noob - use chmod and chown | 12:54 |
| ManDay | pfifo: sure, thanks ;] | 12:54 |
| dr_willis | Snorrre: you did 'ping 192.168.1.100' | 12:54 |
| Snorrre | Dr_willis: So it mean it worked? | 12:54 |
| Ubu_noob | can you be more specific wt0vremr | 12:54 |
| ManDay | new2linx: Are you familar with lightdm internals? | 12:54 |
| dr_willis | Snorrre: somthing like this..... | 12:55 |
| dr_willis | $ ping 192.168.1.1 | 12:55 |
| dr_willis | PING 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1) 56(84) bytes of data. | 12:55 |
| dr_willis | 64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_req=1 ttl=64 time=1.68 ms | 12:55 |
| bullgard6 | dr_willis: In the mean time I found the solution to the problem how to copy&paste in urxvt. Use the mouse buffer. Highlight in the urxvt window the string in question. Select the target window and target insert position. Shift+Insert will insert the string in question. | 12:55 |
| BluesKaj | Howdy | 12:56 |
| wt0vremr | Ubu_noob okay | 12:56 |
| ManDay | dr_willis: Any idea how lightdm determines which argument it will pass to lightdm-greeter-session? | 12:56 |
| Sidewinder1 | Mornin' BluesKaj !! | 12:56 |
| dr_willis | ManDay: nope. I use a headless ubuntu server 99% of the time these days | 12:56 |
| BluesKaj | Hey Sidewinder1 | 12:56 |
| wt0vremr | Ubu_noob chmod 777 /any/directory/you/wany/* | 12:56 |
| Snorrre | Dr_willis: But i dont get the confirmation, that the ping was delivered. | 12:56 |
| dr_willis | Snorrre: it should time out.. sounds like you got a misconfigured machine. | 12:57 |
| dr_willis | Snorrre: thats the ip# of your router? | 12:57 |
| wt0vremr | Ubu_noob for example sudo chmod 777 /usr/share/* | 12:57 |
| Snorrre | Dr_willis: I belive it is 192.169.0.100 | 12:57 |
| dr_willis | Ubu_noob: dont do that chmod command...... | 12:57 |
| samba35 | i have ubuntu server 10.04 ,how do i wake-up a system over internet | 12:57 |
| Ubu_noob | how come dr_willis | 12:58 |
| dr_willis | Snorrre: ping an ip of a known machine on the lan. | 12:58 |
| Snorrre | De_Willis: The machine works fine. Got win7 on it, and no problem at all | 12:58 |
| yacc | Any idea why Xorg is ignoring my Virtual directives? https://gist.github.com/1490150 <= xrandr claims maxium size for Screen0 to be 1920x1920 :( | 12:58 |
| dr_willis | Ubu_noob: it could break things badly.. and theres no point inb doing that to /usr/share/ | 12:58 |
| pfifo | ManDay, do dpkg -L <path/to/lightdm.deb> | 12:58 |
| dr_willis | Ubu_noob: learn to use 'sudo' and 'gksudo' as needed to access system directories | 12:58 |
| pfifo | ManDay, that will list all the files installed by lightdm, and in that list should be some sessions and conf files | 12:59 |
| Ubu_noob | dr_willis: ok but i tried using gksudo to install MATLAB but it did not start the installer it just paused then did nothing so i cant write to the /usr/local/ that it needs to be in | 12:59 |
| Snorrre | dr_Willis: Right now, apart from the machine itself, i only have a asus transformer connected. How can I check the ip it has recived? | 12:59 |
| dr_willis | ManDay: in /etc/lightdm/ theres mention of the unity greeter in the config files | 13:00 |
| dr_willis | Snorrre: ifconfig command or ipconfig on a windows box. other tools for other os's | 13:00 |
| dr_willis | Ubu_noob: its possible theres a deeper bug in the installer. OR you could just install it to your users home dir. | 13:00 |
| dr_willis | Ubu_noob: you dont just go around doing chmod 777 to system directories and hope things work. :) | 13:01 |
| Ubu_noob | ya thats what i ended up doing but i wanted to do everything like it is supposed to cause now i dont have a launcher for matlab | 13:01 |
| dr_willis | make a launcher for it then Ubu_noob ... | 13:01 |
| dr_willis | !info alacarte | 13:01 |

| pfifo | ManDay, (personally id abort and debootstrap a 10.04, the lts always works best for live systems) | 13:01 |
| Ubu_noob | dr_willis: haha. i tried but i dont know what i did wrong it says no such file or directory exist when i click the launcher | 13:02 |
| new2linx | ManDay, no but that doesn't mean I can't help. :-) what's the exact problem? | 13:02 |
| dr_willis | Ubu_noob: CaSe Is ImpoRnatnT in LinUx for onething.. | 13:02 |
| ManDay | pfifo: Well, I used LTS for the Live image originally, but since I really don't want much in the image, I think I could aswell try oneiric this time | 13:02 |
| dr_willis | Ubu_noob: watch out for spaces in paths/filenames also. | 13:03 |

| Ubu_noob | dr_willis: i know but i just copied the instructions given on the matlab ubuntu set up page ... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MATLAB is there any chance they did something wrong? im guessing no that it must have been me | 13:03 |
| new2linx | ManDay, unless you inform me exactly what the issue is I would say this explains everyting: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LightDM | 13:03 |
| ManDay | i think it's 3 , not 5 pfifo | 13:03 |
| pfifo | ManDay, its 5+ for the packages lifetime, 3 for desktop support | 13:04 |
| dr_willis | Ubu_noob: could be a typo. or its out of date due to changes in matlab. | 13:04 |
| ManDay | pfifo: What about kernels, for instance. The newest I got on lts was a 2er kernel - are the fixes beackported? | 13:04 |
| dr_willis | Ubu_noob: it pays to pay attention and learn what its doing not just follow directions blindly | 13:04 |
| ManDay | or else it gets the hose again | 13:05 |
| pfifo | ManDay, after 3 the server team will make updates here and there | 13:05 |
| Ubu_noob | dr_willis: ya i know but sometimes when the directions dont help all i can do is follow blindly | 13:05 |
| ManDay | pfifo: Ok, that's great. But why would I use LTS now, assuming that it works with Oneiric? | 13:06 |
| almoxarife | !info matlab | 13:06 |
| ubottu | Package matlab does not exist in oneiric | 13:06 |

| laerne | I've installed the broadcom802.11 STA driver to run my BCM4311 wireless card, lsmod tells me the module (wl) is loaded, but still ifconfig and the network-manager-applet do not recognize my wireless card | 13:06 |

| doritoDan | Hey guys. | 13:08 |
| doritoDan | Is Ubuntu a good way to start learning Unix? | 13:08 |
| doritoDan | Or BSD | 13:08 |
| ManDay | doritoDan: Depends on what you want to learn. | 13:08 |
| laerne | doritoDon -> depends on what you want to learn in Unix... | 13:08 |
| ManDay | From the way you make it sound, no. | 13:08 |
| SwedeMike | doritoDan: BSD is more unix than linux is, but you probably don't need pure unix for what you're thinking of. | 13:08 |
| doritoDan | Everything about it. | 13:08 |
| ManDay | doritoDan: Then no. | 13:09 |
| doritoDan | Ok. | 13:09 |
| doritoDan | It's just that BSD is too high level for me right now. | 13:09 |
| pfifo | Solaris is a good way to start learning Unix | 13:09 |
| doritoDan | I don't understand a thing. | 13:09 |
| ManDay | doritoDan: Go with Gentoo or Slackware, something simple. | 13:09 |
| doritoDan | Okay. | 13:09 |
| SwedeMike | doritoDan: problem with ubuntu is that they're trying to hide the unix beneath all the GUI, with BSD you're forced to learn more. | 13:09 |
| ManDay | Simple as in complicated | 13:09 |
| doritoDan | I know SwedeMike, but that's why I think it'll be a good first step. | 13:09 |
| doritoDan | Like | 13:09 |
| doritoDan | You only have so much contact with the BSD interface | 13:09 |
| ManDay | doritoDan: If you are interesting in learning UNIX you should use a UNIX | 13:10 |
| doritoDan | I am guessing Ubuntu is a good first step in exploring the deeper workings of *nix? | 13:10 |
| dr_willis | Snorrre: does 'ifconfig' even show your problem machine having an ip? shunds like its not even connected to the network. | 13:10 |
| doritoDan | Ok. | 13:10 |
| laerne | SwedeMike, doritoDan: Yeah, try something with a simpler config design, like : FreeBSD, archlinux, ... | 13:10 |
| dr_willis | doritoDan: once you learn the basics.. its all easially applied to other *nix systems and variants. | 13:10 |
| bazhang | lets get on topic of ubuntu support please | 13:10 |
| doritoDan | I'm already using FreeBSD. | 13:11 |
| doritoDan | It's too hard. | 13:11 |
| doritoDan | But alright. | 13:11 |
| dr_willis | 'learning the basics and FUNdamentals' :) | 13:11 |
| doritoDan | I'll try. Thanks. | 13:11 |
| FloodBot1 | doritoDan: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 13:11 |
| Snorrre | Dr_willis: what is the ipconfig command in terminal? | 13:11 |
| dr_willis | Snorrre: ifconfig | 13:11 |
| Snorrre | Dr_Willis: What should it say? Got a wall of text :) | 13:12 |
| ManDay | pfifo: Any idea whether casper will work without a greeter at all? | 13:12 |
| laerne | doritoDan -> Agreed. I personally learn unix on debian stable + xfce. With Debian stable you can experience a bit without running in too much problem | 13:12 |
| ManDay | * Display manager, that is | 13:12 |
| doritoDan | laerne: Alright. THanks. | 13:12 |
| doritoDan | Thanks* | 13:12 |
| pfifo | ManDay, I put 'startx' in my /etc/init/tty1.conf | 13:12 |
| ManDay | pfifo: I did something similar on my real computer in initab | 13:13 |
| dr_willis | Snorrre: some info about inet addr:192.168.1.112 | 13:13 |
| ManDay | I still don't quite understand why the unity greeter doesnt work though and immediately terminates | 13:13 |
| pfifo | ManDay, but now that I think about it. I know for sure your autologging in casper always does that | 13:14 |
| dr_willis | Snorrre: for the device you are interested in. | 13:14 |
| ManDay | pfifo: I think I've read something similar. Casper's scripts log one in, let me see whether I can find it... | 13:14 |
| Snorrre | Dr_willis: inet addr: 192.168.0.101, Bcast: 192.268.0.255 | 13:14 |
| dr_willis | Snorrre: so see if the other machines can ping that ip. | 13:14 |
| Snorrre | ok 2 sec | 13:14 |
| laerne | ManDay: you're pretty brave to edit inittab... Isn't there a simpler config file to specify your login manager ? | 13:15 |
| pfifo | ManDay, /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/casper-bottom/15autologin | 13:15 |
| dr_willis | ManDay: you could just use /etc/rc.local | 13:15 |

Here is the readme file from the directory for the linux drivers. Can someone take a look and lend a hand? http://paste.ubuntu.com/773310/ Thanks in advance! | 14:09 |
| haltemien | almoxarife: Thanks mate. Ill check it out :) | 14:09 |
| zhoujie | hi | 14:10 |

| conntrack | hi | 14:11 |
| Sidewinder1 | tgambit65, Did you follow ALL of those instructions? It might be better to just boot the system with the new card installed. | 14:12 |
| lordjj | What I can do when my screen goes black? Apart from cntrl+alt+backspace? | 14:12 |
| tgambit65 | Have booted it with the card plugged in but, the power light didn't come on. I used the windows driver utility and got the card to power up using the XP 32 bit driver but, would not connect to the AP. | 14:13 |
| waperboy | Varazir, of course it's the same with scp, symlinks are for convenience - seldom do they cause problems | 14:13 |

| bazhang | tgambit65, still not seen the lsusb output | 14:14 |
| soreau | tgambit65: I mean on the machine with the card installed, run lspci from your terminal and post the line for the wifi card here | 14:14 |

| doritoDan | What's the command to use for editing text files in Ubuntu? | 15:23 |
| xangua | gedit¿ | 15:23 |
| debian_noob | doritoDan, gedit | 15:24 |
| doritoDan | Ubuntu's documentation is really bad. It's confusing. | 15:24 |
| milamber | doritoDan: there are several but the most new user friendly would be nano | 15:24 |
| debian_noob | or nano for cli | 15:24 |
| doritoDan | Is there a good guide on how to set up your repositories | 15:24 |
| schnuffle | doritoDan: Visual there's gedit, console there's vim | 15:24 |
| milamber | doritoDan: gedit for the gui though | 15:24 |
| doritoDan | if you want everything | 15:24 |
| doritoDan | like 100% of what's available | 15:24 |
| xangua | doritoDan: enable everything¿ | 15:24 |
| doritoDan | Yes | 15:24 |
| kodoku | there my system just went down for using the wifi card | 15:24 |
| schnuffle | doritoDan: there're some 20000 packages available | 15:24 |

More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories | 15:24 |
| debian_noob | schnuffle, propaply more | 15:25 |
| doritoDan | milamber: Again, these Ubuntu articles are really bad. I'm already reading a guide on how to edit your source.list | 15:25 |
| debian_noob | *probably | 15:25 |
| doritoDan | and it raises more questions than it answers. | 15:25 |
| doritoDan | I'm just wondering if there's an easy way to enable all of these repositories that are disabled by default | 15:25 |
| milamber | doritoDan: the docs can only get better if people know which part is confusing. if you are having trouble with a particular spot in a tutorial ask a question | 15:25 |
| debian_noob | disabled as in? | 15:25 |
| nine_pt | soreau : but if it's plugged from the start everything is ok | 15:25 |
| debian_noob | commented out? | 15:26 |
| xangua | doritoDan: yes, software center-edit-sources | 15:26 |
| doritoDan | milamber: Ok, right now my question is, what command am I supposed to use to edit my sources.list | 15:26 |
| schnuffle | doritoDan: There's an app under Settings/Repository to activate them | 15:26 |
| milamber | doritoDan: i would say just uncomment the lines, which means remove the # before the sources you want | 15:26 |
| doritoDan | ok schnuffle | 15:26 |
| doritoDan | How can I access this app | 15:26 |
| soreau | nine_pt: Guess its a bug then. You can possibly try #intel-gfx and/or file a bug report | 15:26 |
| nine_pt | soreau : I can reboot the pc and past the xrand -q output if you think i can be helpful | 15:26 |
| doritoDan | milamber: Yes, but the tutorial doesn't even tell me HOW to edit them | 15:26 |
| milamber | doritoDan: are you running a server or a gui? | 15:26 |
| debian_noob | doritoDan, gedit /etc/apt/sources.list | 15:26 |
| debian_noob | (as root) | 15:26 |
| doritoDan | Desktop | 15:26 |
| nine_pt | soreay, thanks I will try intel-gfx | 15:26 |
| doritoDan | thanks debian_noob | 15:26 |
| debian_noob | (or sudo) | 15:26 |
| Blackshirt | Doritodan,just use some editor | 15:27 |
| milamber | doritoDan: ok: gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list | 15:27 |
| milamber | !gksu > debian_noob | 15:27 |
| ubottu | debian_noob, please see my private message | 15:27 |
| debian_noob | milamber, shouldnt it be gksudo? | 15:27 |
| schnuffle | doritoDan: I don't know the english words but it should be Menu/Settings/Software Repositories | 15:27 |
| doritoDan | i just did sudo | 15:27 |
| doritoDan | and it worked | 15:27 |
| doritoDan | so thanks | 15:27 |
| milamber | debian_noob: that should also work | 15:27 |
| doritoDan | Ok schnuffle thanks. | 15:27 |
| milamber | !gksu | 15:27 |
| ubottu | If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 15:27 |
| debian_noob | im too damn used to su | 15:27 |
| milamber | debian_noob: it was a transition for me also | 15:28 |
| debian_noob | from? | 15:28 |
| schnuffle | doritoDan: Keep in mind when asking that a lot of poeple, me included, prefer to use the command line, because it's faster when you know how to use it | 15:28 |
| milamber | debian_noob: but *best practices* and all that | 15:28 |
| debian_noob | milamber, sudo is really better | 15:29 |
| milamber | debian_noob: i started with redhat 9 | 15:29 |
| doritoDan | schnuffle: I'm using commandline | 15:29 |
| doritoDan | in terminal | 15:29 |
| debian_noob | i started with debian | 15:29 |
| doritoDan | so it doesn't matter which responses I am getting. | 15:29 |
| doritoDan | Thanks though. | 15:29 |
| debian_noob | doritoDan, works perfectly | 15:29 |
| debian_noob | gop on | 15:29 |
| debian_noob | *go on | 15:29 |
| doritoDan | Thanks. | 15:29 |
| schnuffle | doritoDan: okay then, just wanted to let you know. I realized that sometimes people get confused giving them shell commands | 15:30 |
| doritoDan | I don't understand | 15:30 |
| doritoDan | how to enable multiverse repositories | 15:30 |
| doritoDan | I can't find any repositories that are commented out | 15:30 |
| doritoDan | in the sources.list file | 15:30 |
| doritoDan | Why can't Ubuntu just be easy and straight forward for once | 15:30 |
| doritoDan | Argh. | 15:30 |
| milamber | debian_noob: no, it is not. you can bork things if you run gui apps with sudo, and telling new people that don't have the skills to fix them can be a problem | 15:30 |
| schnuffle | doritoDan: Sources.list keeps the core repos. Then there's /etc/apt/sources.list.de for all the other repos | 15:30 |
| milamber | doritoDan: pastebin your sources.list | 15:30 |
| soreau | doritoDan: Look in software-properties-gtk | 15:31 |
| milamber | doritoDan: so we can see what exactly is going on | 15:31 |
| debian_noob | milamber, GUI wise not good | 15:31 |
| doritoDan | You need to give me more specific directions because I don't know how to do any of the things you are asking me to do. | 15:31 |

| BluesKaj | doritoDan, not all repos get into the sources.list , check your package manager repos to enable | 15:32 |
| debian_noob | doritoDan, use gksudo | 15:32 |

| doritoDan | But why does it even exist | 15:52 |
| doritoDan | if it's giving me errors | 15:52 |
| debian_noob | sudo exists for applications which dont use the GUI | 15:53 |
| debian_noob | !sudo | doritoDan | 15:53 |
| ubottu | doritoDan: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 15:53 |
| schnuffle | tgambit65: when you installed the module add the module name to /etc/modules.conf | 15:53 |
| doritoDan | I don't understand why it allows me to use graphical apps then | 15:53 |
| doritoDan | if it's for commandline apps | 15:53 |
| doritoDan | But | 15:53 |
| doritoDan | Thanks for explaining. | 15:53 |
| FloodBot1 | doritoDan: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 15:53 |
| schnuffle | doritoDan: Because it knows about processes not about graphival or not. Another example, why am I able to format a USB drive in the Windows Explorer even there's data on it? | 15:54 |

| johnnyzero | If I create .asoundrc in my home directory will alsa see the properties of it? | 15:58 |
| schnuffle | doritoDan: Normally there's an option to install the Tools. This mounts an ISO image with the driver. Then you can mount it and install it. | 15:58 |
| tgambit65 | schnuffle: good idea thanks. | 15:58 |
| doritoDan | I don't know where to get this ISO | 15:58 |
| doritoDan | I'm really confused. I've been googling for half an hour now | 15:58 |
| BluesKaj | johnnyzero, asoundrc is part of alsa conf | 15:58 |
| BluesKaj | or links to it rather | 15:59 |
| johnnyzero | Ahh BluesKaj the issue is that Alsa won't capture sound using hw but it will capture sound using plughw. | 15:59 |
| schnuffle | doritoDan: The ISO is part of Vmware. Isn't there any option in Fusion that says "install Tolls"? | 15:59 |
| johnnyzero | This is why I think the DE is not seeing the USB Microphone | 15:59 |
| doritoDan | No. VMware is such a horrible company. They use indians to provide support, has buggy session handling on their website (and logging in is required to obtain any docs, info or downloads at all) and their documentations are incredibly vague and cryptic with basically no links provided | 16:00 |
| gardenfox | when you install a operating system does it just install on the harddrive or does it install on the computer itself like firmware? | 16:00 |
| doritoDan | I can't expect to get any help from them whatsoever. | 16:00 |
| johnnyzero | I mean obviously if Audacity is recording and you can record in alsa VIA the terminal, then alsa does recognize it. Its just skype and pavucontrol which does not see the mic. | 16:00 |
| doritoDan | I don't know where to turn to easily be able to install VMware Tools onto Ubuntu | 16:01 |
| jpmh | on 10.4 I could set the key-bindings so I had control of what happened when people pressed key-combinations - how do I do this with 11.10? | 16:01 |
| schnuffle | doritoDan: Give me a minute but there're tons of docs | 16:01 |
| doritoDan | There's tons of docs, yes, but they're bad. | 16:01 |
| doritoDan | And thanks. | 16:01 |

| gardenfox | ok. thanks | 16:02 |
| delinquentme | heyy does unbuntu have a view in which I can see a file hierarchy? | 16:02 |
| so | mantzos | 16:02 |
| BluesKaj | johnnyzero, check your /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and make sure your usb mic-audio is set to a positve value like 1 instead of -2 or some such | 16:02 |
| debian_noob | delinquentme, tree | 16:03 |
| johnnyzero | BluesKaj, ok | 16:03 |
| schnuffle | doritoDan: Page 12 explains the ISO thing | 16:03 |
| delinquentme | debian_noob, I have "list" "icon" and "compact" | 16:03 |
| debian_noob | delinquentme, uhh sorry | 16:03 |
| debian_noob | what do you exactly want? | 16:03 |
| delinquentme | debian_noob, what version ubuntu are you talking about? | 16:03 |
| BluesKaj | johnnyzero, options snd-usb-audio index=1 , is worth a try | 16:03 |
| debian_noob | delinquentme, ignore it | 16:04 |
| debian_noob | i thought about something else | 16:04 |
| doritoDan | schnuffle: Thanks. | 16:04 |
| doritoDan | Right now i'm trying to figure out how to open PDF | 16:04 |
| doritoDan | adobe acrobat pro expired and won't allow me to even read pdf | 16:04 |
| doritoDan | s | 16:04 |
| doritoDan | why are every company ever so horrible | 16:04 |
| debian_noob | doritoDan, should open with the default pdf reader | 16:05 |
| doritoDan | is* | 16:05 |
| doritoDan | ya i know | 16:05 |
| schnuffle | doritoDan: If you think that maybe the problem is the other side :) | 16:05 |
| debian_noob | delinquentme, try tree <directory> | 16:05 |
| debian_noob | youll understand what i meant | 16:05 |
| doritoDan | schnuffle: I think companies are mostly horrible at usability and require users to bend to their shitty workflows and processes. | 16:06 |
| doritoDan | It's really annoying having to deal with crap like this which should essentially be incredibly easy. | 16:06 |
| doritoDan | But oh well. I digress. | 16:06 |
| tgambit65 | schnuffle: Ok for the name of the module thanks. Can you tell me the location and name of the file I need to edit? And just use a text editor to do it? | 16:07 |
| schnuffle | tgambit65: should be /etc/modules.conf | 16:08 |
| delinquentme | is there a way to get the size of a package from the repos? | 16:08 |
| delinquentme | for example i dont have this application called "tree" and i'd like to use it so long as its not more than a particular size | 16:08 |
| tgambit65 | schnuffle: Ok thanks will take a look | 16:08 |
| johnnyzero | BluesKaj, I set the value to one and rebooted. Unfortunately, pavucontrol still doesn't see the device as an input device. | 16:08 |
| debian_noob | delinquentme, some KB | 16:09 |
| kodoku | I have a broadcom bcm4313 with the prop. drivers that hangs my system. ive already asked on the forums and no answer. | 16:09 |
| schnuffle | doritoDan: the term easy depends on the knowledge of the person involved. I'm with you that in modern times customer satifaction isn't the top prio anymore but shareholder value. But complsining doesn't help only knowledge :) | 16:09 |
| BluesKaj | johnnyzero, damn pulseaudio , what a pita ...I haven't got much experience with pulseaudio , altho I | 16:09 |
| BluesKaj | m forced to use it for webaudio content | 16:10 |
| johnnyzero | Yes BluesKaj I really think it is pulseaudio even though the pulseaudio people blamed alsa. | 16:10 |
| johnnyzero | If it was alsa, then arecord wouldn't work at all. Also, alsamixer wouldn't see the device. | 16:10 |
| doritoDan | schnuffle: Complaining and whining raises awareness of the way companies refuse to update themselves on the value of usability. | 16:11 |
| BluesKaj | yeah, johnnyzero have you tried living without pulseaudio ? | 16:11 |
| doritoDan | IMHO. | 16:11 |
| cousin_luigi | Hello. | 16:11 |
| johnnyzero | Hmm BluesKaj can you use skype and other programs without it? | 16:11 |
| johnnyzero | Hey cousin_luigi | 16:11 |
| cousin_luigi | Is there a way to see a notification for new messages in thunderbird? | 16:11 |
| schnuffle | doritoDan: Do you see any company representative in here? | 16:11 |
| cousin_luigi | I mean, on the dash? | 16:11 |
| conntrack | hmm | 16:12 |
| johnnyzero | Well I suppose its worth a try. Maybe there is even a way to set skype up to bypass pulseaudio. | 16:12 |
| xangua | there could be an addon cousin_luigi | 16:13 |
| johnnyzero | Because I def think thats what the issue is. Its not alsa. | 16:13 |
| kernix | hi all | 16:13 |
| BluesKaj | johnnyzero, I used skype static version without pulseaudio , but since I'm on 12.04 now skype isn't working yet, but that's not really a loss for me. | 16:13 |
| xangua | i see there is a 'unity launcher integration' cousin_luigi | 16:13 |

| johnnyzero | ahh BluesKaj ok. Least now I could go back to the pulseaudio channel and tell them they're wrong. | 16:14 |
| BluesKaj | heh, good luck | 16:14 |
| schnuffle | tgambit65: you need root rights to be able to edit it. Open a term | 16:15 |

| doritoDan | mrdeb I'm trying to install VMware tools onto Ubuntu | 16:33 |
| mrdeb | ok | 16:33 |
| doritoDan | but VMware (being the horrible company that they are) don't have any clear-cut information on the matter. | 16:34 |
| mrdeb | ok, then do not use it | 16:34 |

| mrdeb | well, i have not installed it | 16:35 |
| schnuffle | doritoDan: Have you read the doc I gave you? | 16:36 |
| doritoDan | My drivers won't work without it | 16:36 |
| doritoDan | schnuffle: the 50 page pdf? no | 16:36 |
| doritoDan | I don't have time to read 50 pages of irrelevant information | 16:36 |
| schnuffle | doritoDan: Yes, if you have some knowledge page 12-20 will do it | 16:36 |
| Pessimism | Getting a "Connection refused" on `wget localhost" (and `telnet localhost`, for what that's worth). Can't see it in any browsers either. Pings fine by the look of it. | 16:37 |

| doritoDan | Just info on how to update VMware TOols | 16:37 |

| Pessimism | Better yet, how to fix it. :P | 16:37 |
| yeats | Pessimism: firewall enabled? | 16:37 |
| zxiest | Ubuntu desktop 11.10. Does it have "ReadyBoost"... Using flash drives as memory replacement? | 16:37 |
| Pessimism | yeats: nothing in Ubuntu, unless it's default. My router shouldn't have anything set up, but I can double check. | 16:38 |
| jita | Does the panel of gnome 3 hide just like unity ? | 16:38 |
| schnuffle | doritoDan: Page 12 tells you that Fusion will download the newest ISO image for you. Then page 13: Virtual Machine > Install (or Upgrade) VMware Tools | 16:38 |
| crebro | No it, doesen't | 16:38 |
| yeats | Pessimism: well 'localhost' wouldn't go through your router | 16:38 |

| doritoDan | And honestly I can't believe there weren't any information on it. | 16:39 |
| yeats | Pessimism: what does 'nmap localhost' tell you? | 16:40 |

| yeats | doritoDan: you can right click on an icon and choose "Add to Launcher" | 16:41 |
| yeats | !better | jita | 16:41 |
| ubottu | jita: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 16:41 |
| mrdeb | no jita, they are similar tablet like guis | 16:41 |

| yeats | doritoDan: you can set up a custom launcher with the Main Menu (alacarte) program | 16:42 |
| doritoDan | schnuffle: I've googled it for over half an hour, and all I could find on the subject were vapid and vague tutorials on how to do shit like compiling and hten installing vmware tools (without mentioning where to actually GET THEM) | 16:42 |
| doritoDan | from within Ubuntu. | 16:42 |
| doritoDan | VMware's website didn't have any clear-cut information in the subject either. | 16:43 |
| CarlFK | doritoDan: i have fought with vmware before - it's frustrating. try not to take it out on anyone here. and try to keep the ranting to a minimum. | 16:43 |
| cousin_luigi | xangua: The one installed by default? | 16:43 |
| doritoDan | All of these docs are just too long and too vague | 16:43 |
| doritoDan | these organizations just don't know a thing about usability | 16:43 |
| doritoDan | they are horrible at it. | 16:43 |
| schnuffle | doritoDan: So the problem is your google foo not that the information is missing. | 16:43 |

| schnuffle | doritoDan: then do it better and become billionar | 16:43 |
| doritoDan | schnuffle: No, the problem horrible docs. | 16:43 |
| yeats | Pessimism: well that shows that localhost is a known host, but that port 80 (apache default) is not open | 16:43 |
| doritoDan | pangolin OK. | 16:43 |
| doritoDan | Thanks. | 16:43 |
| Pessimism | hmm | 16:44 |
| yeats | Pessimism: have you verified that apache is running? | 16:44 |
| johnnyzero | BluesKaj, thanks. Pulseaudio people are trying to help me. | 16:44 |
| Pessimism | yeats: Nope. It probably isn't. | 16:44 |

| cypher-neo | paulsomebody, Hmm, I think it looks like xrandr didn't detect the refresh rate for that display | 16:50 |

| doritoDan | Ok it worked. Thank you so much fo the help. | 16:53 |
| paulsomebody | cypher-neo: My monitor reports its native resolution incorrectly due to the sloppines of tech guys that repaired my LCD some time ago, so I had to add the desired resolution manually via the utility that is enclosed with the Nvidia driver. | 16:53 |
| Acorn | When I use the function keys on my laptop to change the screen brightness, it behaves erratically, sometimes getting brighter, sometimes darker. Is there any way I can debug it? | 16:54 |

| paulsomebody | cypher-neo: Resolution is okay now, but it gives an unpleasant error and theme is quite messed up after startup. | 16:54 |
| cypher-neo | paulsomebody, That could be tricky then... | 16:54 |
| paulsomebody | cypher-neo: I'll give a screenshot. | 16:54 |
| cypher-neo | paulsomebody, Okay | 16:54 |
| paulsomebody | cypher-neo: Basically, my whole system looks like this. http://minus.com/mbdravZDhe#1 | 16:55 |
| doritoDan | Ah, fantastic! With VMware Tools installed, Ubuntu finally found my drivers. Cheers! | 16:55 |
| paulsomebody | cypher-neo: And I cannot revert back. | 16:55 |
| doritoDan | Oh wait, it didn't. | 16:56 |
| doritoDan | It still thinks my monitor is "Unknown" :-( | 16:56 |
| Blue1 | doritoDan: it will still work | 16:56 |
| doritoDan | I don't like it | 16:57 |
| paulsomebody | cypher-neo: So, by that message I understand that the resolution, which I have written in the xorg.conf via the Nvidia utility now functions correctly, but the video mode for monitor is still absent. | 16:57 |

| tightwork | raven: use x11vnc | 18:41 |
| GraemeLion | procrast: Banshee? | 18:41 |

| jost | procrast, try audacious | 18:42 |

| CarlFK | schnuffle: um.. what's sysctl? | 18:42 |
| jost | works like winamp and can even use winamp skins | 18:42 |
| schnuffle | CarlFK: sysctl - configure kernel parameters at runtime | 18:42 |
| raven | tightwork, how to configure it then? | 18:42 |
| jost | and does not have any major bugs, as far as i know | 18:42 |

| wabash | I'd like to chat briefly with someone about installing out-of-repo software on Ubu. Also a bout compiling software from a repo-based source. | 18:55 |
| wabash | (you know, Sun Java?) | 18:55 |
| wabash | So, #1, if I go and get Java from Oracle website, how do I install? I would do it as sudo, but are there any security problems with this? | 18:55 |
| cousin_luigi | paulsomebody: the firetray extension stopped working on unity | 18:56 |
| butti | paulsomebody: okay...so i cant post a bug | 18:56 |
| wabash | I mean, in general, if I get a library from somewhere, what's th ebest way to install it? | 18:56 |
| paulsomebody | butti: There is a «log in» button in the upper right corner. You press it, there is a «sigh up». | 18:56 |
| paulsomebody | cousin_luigi: There is no longer a tray in Unity. | 18:57 |
| butti | paulsomebody: yes i see that. thank you. They say me always that the email is no valid | 18:57 |
| nb-ben | wabash, sudo apt-get install java | 18:57 |
| cousin_luigi | paulsomebody: I guess that's the reason:/ | 18:57 |
| nb-ben | wabash, iirc actually there are many different java packages | 18:57 |
| cousin_luigi | paulsomebody: Were you saying there's an alternative? | 18:57 |
| wabash | nb-ben: Sure. What about other libs? | 18:57 |
| paulsomebody | cousin_luigi: If you want a notification about emails, you would want messaging menu integration. | 18:57 |
| nb-ben | try sudo apt-cache search java | 18:57 |
| nb-ben | wabash, it's pretty complete with installation | 18:58 |
| cousin_luigi | paulsomebody: How could I set up that? | 18:58 |
| paulsomebody | cousin_luigi: But it is already there by default. | 18:58 |
| wabash | nb-ben: Say, what if I install some 3d modelling SW from some company's demo version. | 18:58 |
| nb-ben | wabash, well, google for the way to install it lol | 18:58 |
| wabash | nb-ben: or what if I get some other lib from an OS source website or say, get from github? | 18:58 |
| nb-ben | normally it concludes to ./configure ;make ;make install | 18:58 |
| cousin_luigi | paulsomebody: oh, does it mean something will pop up when a new message arrives? | 18:58 |
| cousin_luigi | paulsomebody: isn't there a way to also show the number of unread messages somewhere? | 18:59 |
| wabash | nb-ben: Sure. but what if it's a jar, for example, and I've downloaded the jar. | 18:59 |
| wabash | I mean, are there ubuntu conventions for where to install it? | 18:59 |
| nb-ben | then put the .jar file in your project directory | 18:59 |
| nb-ben | and specify to use that jar with -cp argument | 18:59 |
| gelachs | hello guys, I just got a new T400 lenovo, and it seems it has the new chipset AES2810 for finger print, anybody knows if the fprint supports this chip recently? | 18:59 |

| nb-ben | much like you would do with Windows | 18:59 |
| wabash | nb-ben: That's not really a system-wide install, is it? | 18:59 |
| nb-ben | you don't install jar files in a system-wide manner | 19:00 |
| cousin_luigi | paulsomebody: I see. No way of having the same thing on the dash icon? | 19:00 |
| nb-ben | you could add it to your java libraries directory probably but that's still a broken way of doing things imo | 19:00 |
| wabash | nb-ben: Really??? What about /usr/share/java? All of that is system wide. | 19:00 |
| cousin_luigi | paulsomebody: I mean, like liferea does. | 19:00 |
| paulsomebody | cousin_luigi: Take a look at the omgubuntu.co.uk, I bet these geeks have made something up. | 19:00 |

| nb-ben | about java jar "plugins" | 19:01 |
| wabash | How is a library a plugin? | 19:01 |

| spacey | I guess I could go by IP address by mangling /etc/hosts, but that's a really iffy solution | 19:08 |
| zxiest | Hey guys =) | 19:08 |
| schnuffle | tittn: yes | 19:08 |
| nb-ben | wabash, make will compile them to a subdirectory of your working directory and make install will copy those files to their location in the system | 19:08 |
| nb-ben | libraries to /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib | 19:08 |
| zxiest | My touchpad doesn't seem to be working... I have a usb mouse attached. | 19:08 |
| cousin_luigi | I forgot to ask a question: is it possible to manually edit the icons present on the launcher? | 19:08 |
| spacey | More importantly, is there a good way to get someone on ops at canonical to take the bad server out of the DNS rotation? | 19:08 |
| wabash | nb-ben: ok. Will they be tarred though? | 19:08 |
| nb-ben | bin files to /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin | 19:08 |
| tittn | alright think i can manage thx for your help ! | 19:08 |
| nb-ben | no, why will it be tarred | 19:08 |

| nb-ben | it's like drinking coffee as butter | 19:09 |
| wabash | nb-ben: What I'm asking is this: When I use the package manager t oget a source package, it gets it and installs it. So when it installs the files, what are they? Tar files? Or are they just a bunch of source files in the form of a source tree? | 19:10 |
| schnuffle | Guest39223: many people do :) | 19:10 |
| nb-ben | wabash, if you are using the apt package manager to just install a program, you get no sources at all | 19:10 |
| bitplane | wabash: if you ask for the source it just downloads it into the current directory | 19:11 |
| nb-ben | you only get the compiled binaries | 19:11 |
| wabash | also, why would source as a tree be a conceptual problem for anyone? All sources are in source trees.... | 19:11 |
| schnuffle | nb-ben: wrong you can grab the sources with apt-get source | 19:11 |
| wabash | nb-ben: The apt pkg manager has access to source versions of some things, correct? | 19:11 |
| nb-ben | yes, but apt-get source doesn't install it schnuffle | 19:11 |
| wabash | There are source packages listed in the repository. | 19:11 |
| nb-ben | yes | 19:11 |
| Kayron | Anyone...? | 19:11 |
| wabash | What happens when I install one of these packages? Where does it appear on my system? | 19:12 |
| nb-ben | those get the sources and put them in /usr/src iirc | 19:12 |
| wabash | I see. | 19:12 |
| schnuffle | wabash: the package is downloaded to the actual directory and is mostly a tar archive | 19:12 |
| wabash | nb-ben: In the form of a tar ball??? | 19:12 |

| paulsomebody | wip: There is way to integrate Skype though. | 19:52 |
| schnuffle | rooth: what tells you lsof | grep rsyslogd | 19:52 |
| schnuffle | rooth: and how are permissions of /var/log | 19:52 |
| skegeek | Oh, I know it means my graphics card is integrated into the MB - I was just trying to tell you for sure what I have and that I cannot be sure if it's Nvidia or what. I'm checking with official specifications on my account with Toshiba. | 19:52 |
| milamber | wip: what do you mean when you say "using" the taskbar? | 19:52 |
| wip | paulsomebody: well i am not an hater... but!!!! my voice recognition application cannot work in unity because i cannot see my icon in the taskbar | 19:53 |
| Acorn | escott, rooth: what's the standard practice if you need to install a system-wide program manually then? Would you put the program directory into /usr/local/bin and add that folder to your path? | 19:53 |
| paulsomebody | wip: It is relatively easy to do. | 19:53 |
| paulsomebody | wip: Give me a sec. | 19:53 |
| escott | Acorn, /usr/local/bin and it is already in the path | 19:53 |
| Acorn | escott, rooth: /usr/local/bin only seem to contain individual files at the moment, so I feel I may be doing something odd | 19:53 |
| wip | milamber: icon in taskbar like before... | 19:53 |
| milamber | wip: and also, what is the question? | 19:53 |
| Acorn | escott: but the path doesn't look recursively does it? | 19:54 |
| prodigel | hi there. Recently I've started having some issues when trying to play movies - no matter the player, system freezes for a while and logs out (kubuntu user here). When reading syslog I noticed some nasty lines telling this: [drm:i915_wait_request] *ERROR* i915_wait_request returns -11 (awaiting 10249 at 10236, next 10250) // [drm:i915_hangcheck_elapsed] *ERROR* Hangcheck timer elapsed... GPU hung. I started a few days ago. | 19:54 |
| escott | Acorn, /usr/local should mirror the layout of a / | 19:54 |
| escott | Acorn, rather /usr | 19:54 |
| abu-bakr | Hey folkts | 19:54 |
| wip | milamber: in ubuntu /unity many application doesn't show in the taskbar | 19:54 |
| prodigel | Is this a known issue? | 19:54 |
| wip | prodigel: people complain a lot about it yes | 19:54 |
| abu-bakr | anyone know how to install a RAID5 using Ubuntu .. Successfully? | 19:54 |
| paulsomebody | wip: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/03/how-to-hide-or-show-app-tray-applets-in-ubuntu-11-04/ | 19:54 |
| wip | prodigel: ubuntu decide that only few application can access the taskbar | 19:55 |
| escott | abu-bakr, best to have a non-raid /boot partition | 19:55 |
| paulsomebody | wip: It is not a feature, it is a bug. | 19:55 |
| wip | prodigel: i think it's a stupid move | 19:55 |
| schnuffle | abu-bakr: softwrae raid5, yes | 19:55 |
| wip | paulsomebody: are you sure, then why the "whitelist" | 19:55 |
| paulsomebody | wip: You misunderstand the usual terminology. | 19:55 |
| urlin2u | wip, quit complaining and look at post 2 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1861843 | 19:55 |
| abu-bakr | escott: i've heard that from someone else but I want the powers of Raid 5 on my OS and boot partition | 19:55 |
| schnuffle | abu-bakr: as escott told you /boot should be non raid or Raid1 | 19:56 |
| abu-bakr | so whats the problem with it? | 19:56 |
| wip | paulsomebody: http://www.fewt.com/2011/03/whitelist-utility-script-to-allow-apps.html | 19:56 |
| abu-bakr | I can't even get it to work at the moment | 19:56 |
| abu-bakr | spent 20 hours on it so far! | 19:56 |
| Acorn | escott: hmm, I don't see any directories in /usr/bin either | 19:56 |
| paulsomebody | wip: Thing at the left is the taskbar, things are the upper right are indicators. | 19:56 |
| paulsomebody | wip: They serve different purposes. | 19:56 |
| Acorn | escott: should I be putting the program directory somewhere else and symlinking to it in /usr/local/bin? | 19:56 |
| rooth | schnuffle: http://paste.ubuntu.com/773691/ | 19:56 |
| escott | Acorn, no /usr/ has stuff like bin lib share src and /usr/local should also have bin lib share src etc | 19:57 |
| abu-bakr | so in other words.. ubuntu software raid is no good | 19:57 |
| wip | paulsomebody: right sorry | 19:57 |
| paulsomebody | wip: You can read about Shuttleworth's design philosophy at his blog, if you are interested. | 19:57 |
| abu-bakr | i need a hardware card ? | 19:57 |
| abu-bakr | brb | 19:57 |
| escott | Acorn, if you have a big monolithic application like mathematica usually fits better in /opt | 19:57 |
| wip | paulsomebody: so when releasing my application to ubuntu people, i have to ask them: whitelist my app to see the icon in the taskbar??? | 19:57 |
| paulsomebody | wip: No, you should not. | 19:58 |
| escott | abu-bakr, why would you think that? | 19:58 |
| paulsomebody | wip: Icons in the taskbar are the indicators. | 19:58 |
| prodigel | wip, is the taskbar discussion related to my issue? I'm a bit confused... | 19:58 |
| schnuffle | rooth: how about checking /var/log/messages. And to make sure your config is correct, can you paste both files in /etc/rsyslog.d? | 19:58 |
| wip | paulsomebody: then i can whitelist my app automagically? | 19:58 |
| Acorn | escott: so if it's not monolithic, just stick the directory in /usr/local/bin? and would one then add it to path or put a symlink in the root of /usr/local/bin to /usr/local/bin/myapp/somescript ? | 19:58 |
| paulsomebody | prodigel: I do not think so. | 19:59 |
| wip | paulsomebody: cause now my application doesn't show in the indicator, but it's working well in ubuntu < 11.10 | 19:59 |
| escott | Acorn, so if this is a normal program ./configure make make install just set the prefix to /usr/local | 19:59 |
| paulsomebody | wip: What is your application at the first place, and why does it need an indicator? | 19:59 |
| paulsomebody | wip: Or you are talking about it not showing up in the TASKBAR? If this is the case, then this is completely unrelated to the indicators are is simply a bug. | 20:00 |
| wip | it's a voice recognition application, the indicator is to show when you speak, if the word was recognized, quickly pause it, etc... | 20:00 |
| Acorn | escott: the program doesn't have any form of installation, hence the uncertainty about where I should put it | 20:00 |
| wip | paulsomebody: not i am talking about the icon in the indicator | 20:00 |
| escott | Acorn, what is the program | 20:00 |
| Acorn | escott: sublime text 2 | 20:00 |
| paulsomebody | wip: I think you are supposed to make use of the new Indicators system. | 20:00 |
| escott | Acorn, never heard of this | 20:01 |
| paulsomebody | wip: Which does not need any whitelisting. | 20:01 |
| wip | paulsomebody: i am using wxwidgets... | 20:01 |
| Acorn | escott: a very nice text editor | 20:01 |
| abu-bakr | escott: well if ubuntu softraid is no good for running OS parts then its no good for me | 20:01 |
| paulsomebody | wip: I am afraid I do not have enough experience with this to explain. | 20:01 |
| Acorn | escott: http://www.sublimetext.com/ | 20:01 |
| escott | abu-bakr, all we said was you need a non-raid /boot partition | 20:01 |
| wip | paulsomebody: so it means that now i need to add an exception to my application for unity... bad decision | 20:02 |
| schnuffle | abu-bakr: There's nearly no sytem that can use RAID5 boot partitions | 20:02 |
| rooth | schnuffle: .... well.. ehm.. ... how about checking /var/log/messages.... sudo logger -p local0.alert 'schnuffel is much smarter than me' ; sudo grep schnuffel /var/log/messages | 20:02 |
| abu-bakr | I only have a small amount of critical data.. might aswell use ubuntu one for resiliency.. and if the boot part wont be raid5 then there is no speed advantage either | 20:02 |
| paulsomebody | wip: You are not supposed to. | 20:02 |
| rooth | schnuffle: 2011-12-17T21:01:24.107311+01:00 mrquick rooth: schnuffel is much smarter than me | 20:02 |
| paulsomebody | wip: You should make use of the new indicators system. | 20:02 |
| paulsomebody | wip: That does not need any whitelisting. | 20:02 |
| rooth | schnuffle: Sorry about that and thank you for helping a newbie like myself... | 20:02 |
| itaylor57 | Acorn, http://www.webupd8.org/2011/03/sublime-text-2-ubuntu-ppa.html | 20:02 |
| Acorn | escott: but yeah, it's just a directory with a binary in the root and other library files | 20:03 |
| rooth | schnuffle: Thought I looked there but apparently not. | 20:03 |
| schnuffle | rooth: no problem | 20:03 |
| wip | paulsomebody: but i want my application to work (and more important to me) in linux mint that doesn't use a "special" indicator thing | 20:03 |
| urlin2u | wip, sometimes you have to adapt to new things you can do it. :D | 20:03 |
| scott__ | paulsomebody: when i type in sudo users-admin the window pops up but stays grayed out and wont let me do anything | 20:03 |
| escott | Acorn, so the binary should go in the bin folder and the libraries it links to in lib, but if it was built monolithically you might find that putting it in opt makes more sense | 20:03 |
| Acorn | itaylor57: amazing!! thank you! | 20:03 |
| ManDay | Has anyone ever used Casper with something else than the GNOME/Unity desktop?! | 20:04 |
| paulsomebody | wip: Then, I am afraid you will have to either maintain two separate indicator system, or ask Ubuntu users to whitelist it. Sorry. | 20:04 |
| Acorn | itaylor57: all that fiddling with desktop files was unnecessary :) | 20:04 |
| wip | urlin2u: the thing is, i am using a framework called wxwidgets - i think they gave up on unity (and i do understand why) | 20:04 |
| wip | paulsomebody: thanks for all the help | 20:04 |
| itaylor57 | Acorn, np | 20:04 |
| pzaul | I'm looking to change my display driver in 11.10. the guides I'm finding refer to xorg.conf but it doesnt appear that I have one. could someone point me in the right direction please? | 20:04 |
| paulsomebody | wip: Sure. | 20:04 |
| dvdubuntu | Hi everybody, I am becoming mad to find a way to play bluray discs on ubuntu, I am new in ubuntu and I don't want dual boot windows again, could help? | 20:04 |
| abu-bakr | escott schnuffle: thanks. So do I have to have the entire OS structure in the boot part or just grub? | 20:04 |
| paulsomebody | scott__: Can you give me a link to that thread again | 20:05 |
| schnuffle | abu-bakr: just /boot with grub initrd an the kernel | 20:05 |
| paulsomebody | scott__: I am afraid I cannot find it again myself. | 20:05 |
| escott | abu-bakr, a boot partition contains the kernel, initrd and grub modules and configuration | 20:05 |
| paulsomebody | dvdubuntu: There is a way. | 20:06 |
| paulsomebody | dvdubuntu: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/01/bluray-playback-on-ubuntu/ | 20:06 |
| scott__ | paulsomebody: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1336847&page=2 | 20:06 |
| schnuffle | abu-bakr: it's important that the Raid modules are part of the initrd | 20:06 |
| wip | i will maybe try to "hack" the whitelist automagically using this script for unity people... http://www.fewt.com/2011/03/whitelist-utility-script-to-allow-apps.html if it's not working, then i will list my voice recognition application as not working for unity | 20:06 |
| abu-bakr | schnuffle: thanks... since I am not good at code (im a GUI person) what is the simplest way for me to do this? | 20:06 |
| paulsomebody | dvdubuntu: I don't know if it will work for you, though. | 20:06 |
| escott | scott__, don't sudo gui programs. users-admin will call out to policykit to get the privileges. but if you need to use sudo for guis use gksudo | 20:06 |
| paulsomebody | scott__: Yes, he is right. | 20:06 |
| abu-bakr | I have been trying to copy my old install over to 3 new raided disks and have tried installing grub to seperate non raid parts | 20:06 |
| === Dmitry|a is now known as Dmitry | ||
| scott__ | escott: so it read gksudo users-admin then? | 20:07 |
| urlin2u | wip, have you been to #wxwidgets | 20:07 |
| escott | scott__, try it without sudo first, and if that doesnt work use gksudo | 20:07 |
| paulsomebody | dvdubuntu: Also, see community documentation. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/BluRayAndHDDVD | 20:07 |
| wip | urlin2u: of couse, always there | 20:07 |
| scott__ | escott trying now | 20:07 |
| dvdubuntu | ok paulsomebody, but makemkv I have tried to let him start under wine, noway for me :((( | 20:07 |
| schnuffle | abu-bakr: when you install the system jsut don't use the whole partition as Raid device, leave 100-500MB free to create a additional /boot partition. I think it can all be done with the graphic install | 20:07 |
| wip | urlin2u: they say that " apparently the ubuntu people decided to ban all applications from using the taskbar for some silly reason, however they decided that some applications like skype must be able to use it still so they created a 'white list' for these applications which says that they may use task bar " | 20:08 |
| escott | scott__, were you having trouble with a usb device yesterday? | 20:08 |
| wip | taskbar = indicator | 20:08 |
| paulsomebody | dvdubuntu: I am sorry, but I have no personal experience with the issue. | 20:08 |
| OverphoneDL1 | So, I upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10, and now when I log into the unity desktop I have a dark purple screen with a mouse cursor that I can move around, but it otherwise does nothing... | 20:08 |
| paulsomebody | dvdubuntu: So, I can only point to the docs. | 20:08 |
| scott__ | escott yes, thatz me. still same issue. i'm getting desperate. i may have to reformat | 20:08 |
| schnuffle | abu-bakr: For extra security you can later on copy the /boot partition to all the raid disks. If one fails you can still boot from another disk | 20:08 |
| wip | urlin2u: and adding: I try to know as little about unity as possible as the way they are messing devs around makes my blood boil and fortunately I'm not in a position where I have to support it | 20:08 |
| urlin2u | wip, unity is one of many desktops, you can install the fallback I believe as well. | 20:08 |
| dvdubuntu | right this is ubuntu england or ubuntu usa? may be I try over there | 20:08 |
| escott | scott__, there is something screwy about your policykit install | 20:09 |
| wip | urlin2u: i cannot ask the people that download my application to switch the desktop... | 20:09 |
| escott | scott__, you might try reinstalling policykit-1 or installing the old version | 20:09 |
| abu-bakr | schnuffle: thank you for your instructions so far.. I think i will do this.. | 20:09 |
| abu-bakr | however my current attempts at trying to 'clone' an old partition over to the new raid array looks to have failed.. | 20:09 |
| paulsomebody | dvdubuntu: Alternatively, you can post at askubuntu.com or ubuntuforums.org and ask for help there. | 20:09 |
| urlin2u | wip, knowing as little about unity eh....hows that working really. :D | 20:09 |
| === Erdogan is now known as PacozlukYapma | ||
| wip | wip: in my opinion unity was a big mistake | 20:10 |

| wip | me to me | 20:10 |
| dvdubuntu | ok paul but where are we now? | 20:10 |
| OverphoneDL1 | When* | 20:10 |
| paulsomebody | wip: Maybe you can add an fallback indicator? | 20:10 |
| wip | paulsomebody: that would be great! | 20:10 |
| paulsomebody | wip: All and all, I think you should go to the #ubuntu-developers and ask about it there. | 20:10 |
| wip | paulsomebody: will try to change my attitude before going there :) | 20:11 |
| paulsomebody | wip: I am not a developer, or an IT-specialist, so I am afraid I would not be able to help with that. | 20:11 |
| urlin2u | wip, really I had not noticed that, this is a support channel not complaints about unity, which is interspersed with your every post, good bye | 20:11 |
| scott__ | escott: i'll try that if this wont work. i'm on this trail now: sudo users-admin, go to Properties > User Privileges and check "Mount user-space filesystems (FUSE)". Log out, log in, try connecting the drive again; it ought to work. | 20:11 |
| escott | scott__, if the only manifestation of the issue is with usb mounting you can do it manually | 20:11 |
| paulsomebody | wip: It is okay, many people are upset with Unity. | 20:11 |
| abu-bakr | schnuffle: is it possible as a last ditch attempt to recreate the raid array, copy the old partition over and then try and do a fresh install/repair over that to see if it will work... (so far I have been trying 'boot repair' to rebuild grub, it is supposed to work well with raid but it hasn't managed to boot the old OS so far | 20:11 |
| paulsomebody | dvdubuntu: What do you mean? | 20:11 |
| escott | scott__, thing is vfat is not a fuse | 20:12 |
| paulsomebody | dvdubuntu: We are on IRC. | 20:12 |

| paulsomebody | dvdubuntu: Hmm. Just IRC for all English speakers, as far as I am aware. | 20:13 |
| escott | abu-bakr, copying from non-raid to raid is a bit of a pain, because you have to update all the uuids and that get confusing with mdadm uuids and partition uuids | 20:13 |
| === Dmitry is now known as Dmitry|a | ||

| abu-bakr | escott: aaaah I C, so that's prob why its never worked then? | 20:13 |
| escott | abu-bakr, better options are to convert in place the fs to raid level (probably not possible with a raid5 but ive dont it to raid1) | 20:13 |
| dvdubuntu | ah ok | 20:13 |
| scott__ | escott: this may or may not be related to the issue....i was trying to get rid of unity, and following various tips online to do so. it seemed to work until i turned of machine for the night. when i came back the next day, i couldn't log in. i had the ubuntu splash screen and it just hung up. so i googled that problem, and found ctrl+alt+F1 to log in, followed with startx command. | 20:13 |

| abu-bakr | escott: thanks for the help so far.. you've given me a few options.. | 20:21 |
| abu-bakr | How about creating a fresh raid5 array (3 new disks and 1 existing with the existing OS on it), waiting for it to replicate and then pulling the old 4th disk? | 20:21 |
| ManDay | yeats: Thanks, I know that ubuntu uses UPStart - I was looking for an answer to my question though | 20:21 |
| ManDay | I don't want to gain a deeper understanding up upstart. I just need a place to specify a command (autologin as user and startx) somewhere | 20:21 |
| yeats | SinnerNyx: try 'ssh -v -p899 user@10.0.2.15' | 20:21 |
| abu-bakr | escott: wait dont answer that.. I have to go... will be back in a short while | 20:21 |
| aj00200 | thanks, abu-bakr | 20:21 |
| abu-bakr | sorry | 20:21 |
| escott | scott__, so for the time being you should be able to "sudo mount -o uid=1000,gid=1000 /dev/sdb1 /media/usb" where I am assuming you are uid/gid 1000 | 20:22 |
| paulsomebody | ManDay: Does installer not offer an option to do it? | 20:22 |
| escott | abu-bakr, that should work fine, but do familiarize yourself with working with degraded arrays. they do not mount by default | 20:22 |
| lunitunez | type ifconfig and see if the numbers are updated now | 20:23 |
| skegeek | On that config resolution page it says --newmode S-video, however I'm not using S-video connection, should it actually be -S ? | 20:23 |
| scott__ | escott: mount: mount point /media/usb does not exist | 20:23 |
| OvermindDL1 | So, when I upgraded to 11.10, when I log into the Unity desktop, is the screen just purple with the mouse I can move, and nothing else, never does anything else? | 20:24 |

| escott | scott__, sudo mkdir /media/usb | 20:24 |

| scott__ | escott: i could just kiss you! ha ha ha....in the most masculine and brotherly fashion of course | 20:27 |
| escott | scott__, the rest of your polkitd is messed up though. you still want to reinstall because none of your gui admin tools will work | 20:28 |
| Guest25157 | hello, i have an issue with smb and windows. samba file server is invisible from windows side. but becomes visible when i access the windows computer share from linux box how can i make my linux box visible without each reboot access to windows computer | 20:28 |
| scott__ | escott: so, just sudo apt-get install policykit? | 20:28 |
| escott | scott__, i dont know. most likely related to whatever you removed when you tried to uninstall unity | 20:29 |
| ManDay | paulsomebody: what? | 20:30 |
| ManDay | paulsomebody: What installer? | 20:30 |
| skegeek | That's not cool! I added the resolution to settings options, but after switching to it the screen was too wide and I couldn't see left panel or left of top panel. Doesn't make sense because I've used the resolution plenty with both a previous installation as well as with Windows. | 20:30 |
| escott | Guest25157, ive noticed that windows doesnt like to look across domaingroups but linux doesnt care so make sure that your domaingroups are correct | 20:31 |
| paulsomebody | ManDay: The Ubuntu system installer, of course. | 20:31 |
| ManDay | I didn't use that | 20:31 |
| ManDay | I want it real simple, just autologin the user. | 20:31 |
| yeats | ManDay: you can choose that option from the "User Accounts" dialog | 20:32 |
| yeats | ManDay: no need for manual scripting | 20:32 |
| Mjoo | When I turn fullscreen on a youtube clip, the video does not stretch up for all the pixels in my screen, instead; it gets narrowed down by black/white borders. Is there any fix for this? (I always get black borders unless the quality is 1080p, my native and current resolution is 1920x1080) | 20:33 |
| mattgyver | how can I quickly determine if my machine is using USB 1.0 or USB 2.0 ports? | 20:33 |
| ManDay | yeats: I have no such dialog. As I said, I want to script that real simple | 20:33 |
| yeats | ManDay: what release are you running? | 20:34 |
| escott | mattgyver, lsusb? | 20:34 |
| mattgyver | escott, I was looking at that I just didnt really see anything that said 1.0 or 2.0 but ill check again in verbose mode | 20:34 |
| paulsomebody | Question, everyone. Does Ubuntu by default make an account administrative? | 20:34 |
| Blue1 | mattgyver: what he said: Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub | 20:34 |
| annonymous | hello, i have an issue with smb and windows. samba file server is invisible from windows side. but becomes visible when i access the windows computer share from linux box how can i make my linux box visible without each reboot access to windows computer | 20:34 |
| escott | mattgyver, mine says Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub | 20:34 |
| ManDay | yeats: oneiric. I guess I can mondify /etc/init/tty1 for my purpose | 20:34 |
| ManDay | It should be what I was looking for, that is, the equivalent to inittab | 20:35 |
| mattgyver | escott, Blue1, oh okay I actually had some 2.0 hubs so I was thinking that was what it was referring to, thank you | 20:35 |
| paulsomebody | I have just checked, and it appears that my user account is marked 'Administrator' in the User Accounts dialogue. | 20:35 |
| yeats | ManDay: in the Unity bar, search 'user' and the User Accounts program will open - then unlock it with your password and select Automatic Login "On" | 20:35 |
| paulsomebody | yeats: Of course, it is not root, but why 'Administrator' over 'Standard'? | 20:35 |
| ManDay | yeats: I dont have unity or anything like this | 20:35 |
| yeats | ManDay: okay - I'll leave you to it then - good luck | 20:36 |
| ManDay | thanks | 20:36 |
| escott | mattgyver, thats the "software" hub, but presumably it means that it is attached to a 2.0 hub | 20:36 |
| yeats | paulsomebody: eh? | 20:36 |
| mattgyver | escott, okay thank you | 20:36 |
| paulsomebody | yeats: In the User Accounts dialogue my user account is marked as 'Administrator'. Is it sane/ | 20:36 |
| paulsomebody | yeats: To make user an administrator by default? | 20:37 |
| escott | paulsomebody, administrators can sudo and install software | 20:37 |
| skegeek | I just noticed, LCD has 1280x800 (16:10) while external LCD has 1280x1024 (5:4). Should the external ratio look so different from built-in? | 20:37 |
| paulsomebody | escott: Ohh, ok. So it is not wise to make it a 'Standard' account then? | 20:37 |
| escott | paulsomebody, the first non-root user is always an administrator subsequent users need not be | 20:37 |
| yeats | paulsomebody: depends on your setup, I guess. I would think that the user who installed the OS would want to be able to install and configure software :-/ | 20:37 |
| paulsomebody | escott: Could be, could be. :) | 20:38 |

| skegeek | I believe it defaults to 1024x768, but I know for a fact it's capable of 1280x1024 | 20:41 |
| n4dsp | do i do that? | 20:41 |
| coolstar | Is there a way that I can get OpenShot on Ubuntu to use my ATI GPU instead of my CPU? | 20:41 |
| paulsomebody | skegeek: Have you used xrandr? | 20:42 |
| skegeek | Yes. I got 1280x1024 added, but for some reason the desktop was wider than the screen. | 20:42 |
| paulsomebody | skegeek: I don't think I understand you. | 20:43 |
| paulsomebody | skegeek: You was able to scroll 'the desktop itself'? | 20:43 |

| n4dsp | I installed Thunderbird after having problems with evolution and now I want to uninstall Evolution totally and permanetly. I also want the top right menu bar that has the mail icon and all to disappear. How do i do that? | 20:43 |
| paulsomebody | n4dsp: First, uninstall Evolution via Software Center. | 20:43 |
| n4dsp | ok | 20:43 |
| n4dsp | now? | 20:43 |
| skegeek | The desktop changed to 1280x1024, however, the left panel wasn't visible at all and I could only see the right-side applets of the top panel. | 20:44 |
| escott | pzaul, it does not generate a conf. you can use tools like xrandr and look at the Xorg.0.log | 20:44 |
| paulsomebody | n4dsp: Then logout/login back and if icon is still there we will do something terrible to it. ;) | 20:44 |
| n4dsp | haha, ok | 20:44 |
| skegeek | I didn't seem to be able to scroll the desktop, unless I was doing it wrong. | 20:45 |

| skegeek | The display of the left area of the desktop was out of view. | 20:46 |
| paulsomebody | skegeek: You should not have been able to do it, unless something is wrong, or you deliberately set up the virtual resolution bigger than than the real. | 20:47 |
| paulsomebody | skegeek: Do you know for a fact, that your display can do 1280×1024? | 20:47 |
| coolstar | skegeek: do you use a vga cable, or a DVI? | 20:47 |

| n4dsp | ok Paul-somebody | 20:48 |
| paulsomebody | n4dsp: Yes? | 20:49 |
| skegeek | The normal cable type that I've seen for years. | 20:49 |
| n4dsp | now how do rid the top right menu of the evolution mail icon at top? | 20:49 |
| paulsomebody | coolstar: I think you can try the documentation. | 20:49 |
| escott | skegeek, does it have a wider pin that is on one side than the others? | 20:49 |
| paulsomebody | n4dsp: Does it say 'Evolution'? | 20:49 |
| n4dsp | no | 20:49 |
| paulsomebody | n4dsp: Simply, 'Mail'? | 20:50 |
| escott | skegeek, the one on the left of the one on the right http://www.pantherproducts.co.uk/Articles/images/vgadvi.jpg | 20:50 |
| skegeek | I don't know...never thought to make a note of that. | 20:50 |
| paulsomebody | n4dsp: Or, does simply looks like a letter? | 20:50 |
| coolstar | escott: that's a dead link, uk | 20:50 |
| n4dsp | but clicking on it naturally doesnt bring anything up. Yes says Mail and compost message when the envelope icon is clicked | 20:50 |
| n4dsp | letter | 20:50 |
| n4dsp | using Thunderbird now | 20:50 |
| paulsomebody | n4dsp: Select it as a default mail application and it will open it instead. | 20:51 |
| escott | coolstar, not for me | 20:51 |
| n4dsp | it already is | 20:51 |
| paulsomebody | n4dsp: It is the normal behavior for the messaging menu. | 20:51 |
| paulsomebody | n4dsp: But you want to kill it nevertheless? Why? | 20:51 |
| coolstar | escott: it gives an error 403 | 20:51 |
| n4dsp | it simply sits there and serves no purpose but if I can get Thunderbird to open if that letter is clicked that would be great | 20:52 |
| skegeek | Manual says RGB monitor output, probably doesn't help though. | 20:53 |

| kodoku | anyone know a good driver for a broadcom bcm4313 that supports packet injection? | 20:55 |
| n4dsp | thanks again | 20:55 |
| escott | pzaul, the overlay is the resize overlay. you are close to the edge of the screen so it is indicating it will resize to full size. does it not go away | 20:55 |
| n4dsp | by the way for your info I am using 11.04 | 20:56 |
| paulsomebody | n4dsp: And chances of someone doing your googling for you on any support channel are lower than average, so you might want to try it out yourself. :) | 20:56 |
| paulsomebody | n4dsp: Yes, the second link it is then. | 20:56 |
| skegeek | The label for the monitor's port says D-Sub, does that tell you anything? | 20:56 |
| OerHeks | kodoku packet injection ? sounds like hacking to me | 20:56 |
| n4dsp | thanks | 20:56 |
| Tech-1 | 20:56 | |
| kodoku | OerHeks: I like to test my network and do pentesting for myself | 20:57 |
| pzaul | when it happens? no, I try just about everything. i have to restart or log out to stop it. i tried all sorts of key combinations without any luck. putting the cursor on the edge, doesnt indicate any additional options or allow me to adjust the dimensions | 20:57 |
| Resistance | kodoku: its borderline illegal topics... | 20:57 |
| kodoku | Resistance: is it? i didnt realize. i only do it on my own network against my own computers. | 20:57 |
| qmanjr5 | My headphones aren't working, but they work on the login screen. Is there a way to fix this? | 20:58 |
| kodoku | I dont believe in breaking the law and am well aware of what i should and should not do. | 20:58 |
| Resistance | kodoku: if it can be potentially illegal, the topic is usually frowned upon here | 20:58 |
| pzaul | escott: if you see me exit again, thats why :( any ideas on how to cancel it | 20:58 |
| Resistance | !guidelines | kodoku | 20:58 |
| ubottu | kodoku: The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines | 20:58 |
| Resistance | read "Language and Topic" | 20:58 |
| Resistance | s/Topic/Subject/ | 20:58 |
| Resistance | kodoku: ""Some examples of touchy subjects are war, race, religion, politics, gender, sexuality, drugs, potentially illegal activities and suicide."" | 20:59 |
| kodoku | Resistance: I am sorry. i will do so. in that case, please ignore my question. | 20:59 |
| Resistance | emphasis on "Potentially Illegal Activities" | 20:59 |
| Resistance | kodoku: no problem, just making you aware of the guidelines ;P | 20:59 |
| skegeek | escott: I'd have to say the VGA. | 20:59 |
| yeats | qmanjr5: you've tried enabling them via sound settings? | 20:59 |

| kodoku | ill try it right. are there any working drivers for the bcm4313? i have not had good luck today with them for normal use. | 21:00 |
| Tech-1 | lol | 21:00 |
| === SJrX is now known as SJr | ||
| escott | skegeek, so that could be a problem. vga doesnt always export the monitor dimensions and capabilities, so X has to guess at what a valid modeline is | 21:00 |
| yeats | !bcm | kodoku | 21:00 |
| ubottu | kodoku: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 21:00 |
| qmanjr5 | yeats, where are the sound settings? | 21:01 |
| escott | pzaul, not really. you could look into !ccsm and see if something there might be causing problems | 21:01 |
| qmanjr5 | yeats, the only ones I can see are in the upper-right corner, and there's nothing there for headphoones | 21:01 |
| tomodachi | anyone tried to snapshot a running filesystem, and running it in kvm? | 21:01 |
| skegeek | Ahh. Well, I've been using the higher res with this hardware, it's just this Ubuntu install that isn't liking it so far. | 21:01 |
| escott | skegeek, if you know a valid modeline you can force it with xrandr | 21:02 |
| yeats | qmanjr5: yes - that's where I'm talking about - are these USB headphones or just "standard" ones? | 21:02 |
| escott | skegeek, just be careful because you can damage hardware (not so much with lcds as with crts) | 21:02 |
| kodoku | it says to use the sta driver, which has alredy proven itself useless on my hardware multiple times. | 21:03 |
| skegeek | Would the various numbers change between 1024x768 and 1280x1024? | 21:03 |
| StevenC | How do you echo a password into an SSH prompt, I realize this is a security risk, this is the on ly way. | 21:03 |
| qmanjr5 | yeats, standard ones. They plugin via the headphone port. | 21:03 |
| Tech-1 | ya, you could take out the horizontal output, or down the flyback | 21:03 |
| zpb0103_ | escott: cant duplicate it now that I'm trying to address it :e selecting any of the window size features works as normal | 21:03 |
| yeats | StevenC: can you not do ssh-copy-id to set up passwordless SSH? | 21:03 |
| escott | skegeek, yes, although if it is an lcd a lot of the modeline is irrelevant because there isn't a cathode ray scanning across the screen | 21:03 |
| guntbert | StevenC: what is your real need? | 21:03 |
| yeats | qmanjr5: ah - then yeah - they wouldn't show up there... :-/ | 21:04 |
| qmanjr5 | yeats, so what can I do? | 21:04 |
| StevenC | No, I'm SSHing into a switch with low level SSH that gives little to work with. I'm trying to backup the switch configuration's for many switches automatically | 21:04 |
| zpb0103_ | Based on the output of the Xorg log, is there a way to know which driver its using for video? http://imageshack.us/f/825/screenshotat20111217134.png/ seems to list more than one being loaded | 21:04 |
| yeats | !sound | qmanjr5 - this is hopefully a place to start | 21:04 |
| ubottu | qmanjr5 - this is hopefully a place to start: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 21:04 |

| _calum | Hello all. I wish to help test the Precise 12.04 beta release, I'm running it now with a virtual machine. How do I report issues I discover? | 21:05 |
| StevenC | mkannicy: I'm trying to backup our switches automatically, however the SSH is not high level enough to do the public/private key automatic authentication | 21:05 |
| escott | zpb0103_, yes but you have to read it carefully | 21:05 |
| OerHeks | _calum, join #Ubuntu+1 for support 12.04 PP | 21:05 |
| skegeek | So, without finding the mode from another config file...I'm rather screwed? | 21:05 |
| _calum | thankyou, OerHeks | 21:05 |
| qmanjr5 | yeats, when I go to preferences, no headphones show up in Ouput or Hardware. :\ | 21:06 |
| zpb0103_ | escott: in my log it shows it loading intel, then two others then going back and loading the same intel driver | 21:06 |
| mkanyicy | !tab| StevenC | 21:06 |
| ubottu | StevenC: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 21:06 |
| escott | skegeek, if it is an lcd just use one of the modeline generators, but you probably dont need to specify anything but the dimensions and refresh rate | 21:06 |
| zpb0103_ | escott: is it trying to pick the best one and failing back to the original intel driver | 21:06 |
| yeats | qmanjr5: right - they won't unless they're USB headphones | 21:06 |
| escott | zpb0103_, it lists all the drivers that might work, and then finally settles on the one that works. hence the read carefully, especially if you have multiple video cards | 21:07 |
| mkanyicy | StevenC, so what is the problem that you are facing? | 21:07 |
| landono | I'm with StevenC, the problem we're dealing with is that we're trying to SSH into a dumb switch that does not allow us to use ssh keys | 21:07 |
| escott | !info sshpass | landono StevenC | 21:08 |
| landono | it's on a secure server, so if we're able to echo a password into the ssh prompt, we can automate some backup scripts | 21:08 |

| StevenC | mkanyicy: It c urrently works, however the ssh-copy-id command doesn ot work | 21:09 |
| escott | arlo, boot the livecd and fsck your main partition | 21:09 |
| mkanyicy | landono, StevenC, are there any error messages that ssh-copy-id are returning? | 21:10 |
| arlo | escott what about my old files? | 21:10 |
| arlo | escott : it is hacked? | 21:10 |
| yeats | arlo: don't assume it's hacked | 21:10 |
| arlo | but is a running some webserver? | 21:11 |
| escott | arlo, your first assumption should always be that you were hacked by russian spies who are using your machine to stage attacks on us infrastructure | 21:11 |
| yeats | arlo: the logs will provide information as to what caused the outage (assuming that fsck fixes the issue) | 21:11 |
| yeats | escott: :-) | 21:11 |
| mkanyicy | StevenC, I do not think that echoing password into the prompt will work, that would be the major security hole | 21:11 |
| StevenC | mkanyicy: Here is the error I receive, Protocol error, doesn't start with scp! | 21:11 |
| makara | how to update packages? command line? | 21:11 |
| StevenC | Protocol error, doesn't start with scp! | 21:11 |
| StevenC | Connection to 192.168.45.1 closed by remote host. | 21:11 |
| StevenC | They're brocade switches which have a bugged ssh version | 21:11 |
| makara | sudo apt-cache update ?? | 21:12 |
| escott | StevenC, have you looked at sshpass | 21:12 |
| StevenC | escott: Looking at it now, thank you | 21:12 |
| Tech-1 | makara: sudo apt-get update | 21:12 |
| makara | yes | 21:12 |
| skegeek | --rmmode will delete ONLY the specific resolution right? | 21:13 |
| yeats | makara: 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade' | 21:13 |
| mkanyicy | StevenC, you can try to do what ssh-copy-id does, manually ... take your public key and scp it to the remote machine and then ssh to the remote machine and append the public key to the .ssh/authorized_keys2 file | 21:14 |
| Mjoo | Seeing as Ubuntu is praising for freedom and such I think it's users would be much interested in the new act the US gov is trying to push through, It's called SOPA. | 21:15 |
| landono | Thanks a ton guys | 21:15 |
| landono | seems like sshapss works perfect | 21:15 |
| landono | sshpass* | 21:15 |
| escott | mkanyicy, the problem is likely that the router doesn't export a rw filesystem because they dont want to have to reflash the nvram all the time | 21:16 |
| Mjoo | You should google for it and sign the petition, if it gets through, all big media sites etc which you - even if you do not live in the us - use daily, could get shut down. | 21:16 |
| StevenC | mkanyicy: We tried sshpass and that does the trick. I'm going to try and manually append the public key, if that doesn't work we'll probably go with sshpass. Thanks for your help | 21:16 |
| c_smith | Mjoo, don't get me started on SOPA/STOP IP........ | 21:16 |
| mkanyicy | landono, wow, thanks to escott | 21:16 |
| mkanyicy | !yay | landono, StevenC | 21:16 |
| Mjoo | :D | 21:16 |
| ubottu | landono, StevenC: Glad you made it! :-) | 21:16 |
| StevenC | escott: Thank you for your help, that worked great | 21:16 |
| escott | landono, StevenC make sure not to use the -p option if you have non-admins on the machine | 21:16 |
| StevenC | escott: Thanks for the tip, we're already using -f, and it is admin only | 21:17 |
| escott | landono, StevenC anyone can see the -p option in ps aux | 21:17 |

| yeats | coolstar: you'll have to log off | 21:18 |
| coolstar | yeats: I want to know if i can switch without logging off | 21:19 |
| escott | coolstar, you can try unity-2d --replace | 21:19 |
| haltemien | Just did a clean install of ubuntu. Manage to find my wifi connection, and connect. But i still cant access the internet. Anyone know what could be wrong? | 21:19 |
| coolstar | escott: and how do I switch back to normal 3D unity? | 21:19 |
| escott | coolstar, unity --replace | 21:19 |
| coolstar | escott: I just tried that, but its still 2d. should compiz --replace work? | 21:20 |
| escott | coolstar, maybe | 21:20 |
| escott | haltemien, can you ping 8.8.8.8 | 21:20 |
| skegeek | Something I just noticed is that the left panel now begins about halfway down the screen, instead of under top panel like it should. | 21:20 |
| haltemien | escott: Nope | 21:20 |

| coolstar | escott: I tried that, and X.Org almost froze until I ssh'ed and killed compiz | 21:22 |
| eigar | what is that load thingy ubuntu uses called not grub but above that. | 21:22 |
| haltemien | Escott: inet addr: 192.168.0.101 | 21:23 |
| eigar | it mounts etc | 21:23 |
| escott | eigar, the boot order is bios -> grub -> grub stage 2-> kernel+initrd -> root filesystem | 21:24 |

| costel | lmlm | 21:24 |
| haltemien | escott: 192.168.0.101 ? | 21:24 |
| escott | haltemien, 192,168.0.1 is (the most likely) ip of your router | 21:25 |
| eigar | escott: yes, but there is a "program" that ubuntu uses that is integrated in the system. Believe it do ie add media mounts for unmounted partitions etc | 21:25 |
| haltemien | escott: Cant ping it. :/ | 21:25 |
| TheCowboy | Hi, if I have 4gb of ram, and I am running 64bit ubuntu, why does it show only 3gb? (My desktop has 12gb and shows the full 12) | 21:25 |

| OerHeks | TheCowboy, do you have an onboard videocard, wich uses system memory ? | 21:26 |
| escott | StevenC, i doubt your switches will allow you to copy files to them. they usually dont have rw filesystems | 21:26 |
| coolstar | ThwCowboy: I mean without logging off | 21:26 |
| murfie | !search mkinitrd | 21:26 |
| ubottu | Found: | 21:26 |
| TheCowboy | OerHeks, I believe my onboard card comes with memory of its own, but maybe that's the case | 21:26 |
| StevenC | escott: Sorry, I accidently right clicked my terminal, things are working great :) | 21:27 |
| murfie | ubottu: oh really | 21:27 |
| escott | coolstar, do you really notice that much of a performance difference | 21:27 |
| coolstar | escott: 3D games perform 3x faster with 2d unity | 21:27 |
| escott | TheCowboy, sounds like you arent running 64bit can you confirm with uname -a | 21:27 |
| pr0xy | I removed the password on the administrator account. However, when I try to perform a function that requires administrative rights, it still asks for a password. | 21:27 |
| === plum is now known as Guest89554 | ||

| pr0xy | My old one is not accepted, neither is leaving the field blank. | 21:28 |
| TheCowboy | escott, no, it's definitely 64bit, already confirmed it several different ways | 21:28 |
| coolstar | escott: When I play supertuxkart at 1600x1200 with 3D unity, its almost unplayable. However, with unity 2D its snappy | 21:28 |

| pr0xy | unreal-dude my parents made me. | 21:28 |
| unreal-dude | they fail, format | 21:28 |
| escott | TheCowboy, perhaps some of the ram is being mapped to the onboard video card | 21:29 |
| pr0xy | unreal-dude do I seriously have to reformat the computer? | 21:29 |
| oCean | pr0xy: what do you mean by "admin" account? | 21:29 |
| unreal-dude | lol, no | 21:29 |
| sex_man | do you know linyx within windows? | 21:29 |
| TheCowboy | escott, most likely, I wonder if I can free some of that since I don't do anything that requires it | 21:29 |
| haltemien | escott: default, 192.168.0.1, 0.0.0.0, UG, 0, 0, 0, wlan0 | 21:29 |
| pr0xy | oCean, the administrator account, which was the first account set up on the computer. | 21:30 |
| oCean | pr0xy: the root account has no password enabled, never. You use sudo to elevate privileges | 21:30 |
| oCean | pr0xy: so, your current account can not use sudo? | 21:30 |
| escott | TheCowboy, not *all* ram appears in free. whatever the kernel maps to hardware doesn't appear | 21:30 |
| TheCowboy | ah | 21:30 |
| unreal-dude | if it means they have to have access, just give them the password, dont leave an account with no password on your system | 21:30 |
| pr0xy | oCean: correct | 21:30 |
| escott | haltemien, if your default route is 192.168.0.1 and you can't ping 192.168.0.1 then you aren't connected to your local network check your router settings | 21:31 |
| paulsomebody | I am experiencing very strange thing — when I press CTRL + F for some kind of reason Ubuntu launches x-term. I never used this thing, nor do I remember configuring the shortcut, nor is it set up in the Keyboard Shortcuts. | 21:31 |
| eigar | escott: plymouth it was. | 21:31 |
| paulsomebody | Does this sort of thing happen often? | 21:31 |
| oCean | pr0xy: boot your system in rescue mode (this will drop you in a root shell) then add your current account to the admin group | 21:31 |
| coolstar | Can anyone tell me the command to switch from unity-2d to 3d and back? | 21:31 |
| escott | eigar, and what does plymouth have to do with removable media | 21:31 |
| haltemien | escott: The router ip is 192.168.0.100. And i it even promts for a password when i try to connect to it. I got other devices running on it now, and it works with them | 21:32 |
| coolstar | I like the 3D effects, but I don't want them to use GPU power when I play 3D games | 21:32 |
| escott | haltemien, ok can you ping 192.168.0.100 | 21:32 |
| pr0xy | oCean how do I add myself to admin? I have no password, and Can't set one, either | 21:32 |
| === clonak_ is now known as clonak | ||

| diverdude | Hello. how do i add existing user www-data to group bdi? | 21:33 |

| spazzz | Are any of you running ubuntu 11.04? | 21:34 |
| escott | pr0xy, don't forget the -a | 21:34 |

| haltemien | escott: on my router? Will i manage to connect to it if i connect it to the ubuntu with a cable? | 21:34 |
| oCean | pr0xy: that depens on your sudoers configuration | 21:34 |
| Barridus | anyone know of a nice xchat script that can display what song you're listening to? (i won't use it here, promise) | 21:34 |
| escott | pr0xy, no. and having to input the password to run sudo commands is a good thing | 21:34 |
| diverdude | How do i add existing user www-data to group bdi? | 21:34 |
| pr0xy | escott my parents won't let me have a password | 21:35 |

| oCean | spazzz: don't be silly | 21:35 |
| spazzz | sorry | 21:35 |
| escott | pr0xy, explain to them that the password is required and leave it at that | 21:35 |
| oCean | pr0xy: then talk to your parents, and choose a password together | 21:35 |
| paulsomebody | Okay, mystery solved. | 21:35 |
| haltemien | escott: That was a bit unclear by my pRT. dO YOU WANT ME TO CHECK THE ROUTER SETTINGS, OR THE NETWORK SETTINGS IN UBUNTU? | 21:35 |
| haltemien | ops | 21:36 |
| pr0xy | escott how can I set one now? | 21:36 |
| skegeek | escott: I figured it out! 1280 res wasn't the problem...I had to move the screen horizontally via the buttons on the monitor itself. | 21:36 |
| escott | haltemien, in ubuntu upper right hand network settings | 21:36 |
| paulsomebody | The xbindkeys config file I exported had it enabled by default. | 21:36 |
| pr0xy | the system settings utility will not let me | 21:36 |
| escott | haltemien, you can also check the router | 21:36 |
| paulsomebody | Does anyone here have any experience with setting up and rebinding multimedia keys? | 21:36 |
| eigar | escott: didn't say removable media, said unmounted partitions. | 21:36 |
| escott | pr0xy, your username already has a password. you just arent in the admin group | 21:37 |
| haltemien | escott: Found the network tab, but I'm unfamiliar with his, and would need a guiding hand on what im looking for :) | 21:37 |
| pr0xy | escott i set it so I have no password | 21:37 |

| spazzz | thats what it was thanks | 21:38 |
| skegeek | Thanks for the help. I gotta get to work now that I can see again. | 21:38 |
| oCean | pr0xy: you can set a password by just entering the command password in terminal. Or boot in rescue mode, do as escott told you to add yourself to the admin group and als run password yourusername | 21:38 |
| escott | haltemien, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkAdmin | 21:39 |
| pr0xy | oCean it says password: command not found | 21:39 |
| escott | haltemien, hopefully the above helps. you want DHCP enabled if it isnt already. if dhcp is enabled then there is likely something wrong with the routers config | 21:40 |

| twocarlo | E: Unable to lock the list directory" | 21:42 |
| abu-bakr | escott: I think the last suggestion I made sounds like more hard work .. maybe its best just to do a fresh install onto a fresh raid array? but I hope I can setup the separate boot part properly.. :/ | 21:43 |
| eigar | point being I have noticed at boot plymouth: unable to mount aa01df-fafa... <- uuid of partition. And wanted to find out what plymouth actually does at boot. Enabled bootlog in /etc/default/bootlogd and rebooted to have some log to work with but it was empty (and I got grumpy) | 21:43 |
| haltemien | escott: That guide wants me to write network-admin in the terminal. And my terminal say that it is not currently installed. It seems to be that the ubuntu thinks my router ip is 192.168.0.1 instead of 192.168.0.100 | 21:43 |
| yeats | twocarlo: do you have any other APT program running? (software center? update manager?) | 21:44 |
| escott | abu-bakr, in the installer just create a small partition 1gig is enough and set its mount point as /boot its not a bad idea to have a /boot on every disk | 21:44 |
| escott | abu-bakr, so you can raid1 your /boot, but its easiest to set it up non-raid | 21:44 |
| escott | haltemien, you shouldnt need to do anything in the terminal | 21:45 |
| escott | haltemien, but i cant really describe screenshots that well | 21:45 |
| haltemien | escott: But the windows in that guide are very diffrent from the ones in the network settings | 21:45 |
| abu-bakr | escott: thanks .. prob go with non-raid for boot.. if it fails can easily rebuild another boot part?? using 'boot repair' (have you used this?) | 21:46 |

| haltemien | Monkeydust: Nothing happends | 22:05 |
| MonkeyDust | haltemien does dig show something? just yes or no, don't paste it here | 22:05 |
| Eighteens | open the file, or print directly to a printer, but not have it print the text, only graphics, can someone help me chose a app for that in ubuntu | 22:05 |

| haltemien | MonkeyDust: OK, sorry, I'm a huge noob :) I cant 1dig pastebinit, because pastebinit is not currently installed. I asumed it was a program | 22:14 |
| Gentoo64 | phil_phys: delete the partition | 22:14 |
| phil_phys | if i delete the partition i lose also 11.10 distro | 22:14 |
| Gentoo64 | phil_phys: boot from the livecd and go into gparted and youll see it there | 22:14 |
| MonkeyDust | haltemien yes pastebinit is a program, it gives you a url that you can paste here | 22:14 |
| Gentoo64 | phil_phys: you just said one has 44gb free space the other has 4gb so they must be on different partitions | 22:15 |
| phil_phys | I downloaded all the version from internet | 22:15 |
| conntrack | that was lucky | 22:15 |

| ubottu | sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 22:43 |
| haltemien | Benkinooby: When i did my first boot, I found my wifi network and just connected, but internet didnt work | 22:44 |
| spazzz | what distro are you using just curious haltemien? | 22:44 |
| haltemien | Spazzz: What is a distro? :S | 22:44 |
| spazzz | umm... | 22:44 |
| haltemien | Same as version? | 22:44 |
| spazzz | yes | 22:44 |
| Benkinooby | haltemien, use the command 'sudo iwconfig' | 22:45 |
| haltemien | The newest one from ubuntu.com | 22:45 |

| Douro | Hi, is vgaswitcheroo by default in Ubuntu or would I need to compile my own kernel? | 22:45 |
| Benkinooby | haltemien, do you see your network name? | 22:45 |
| Benkinooby | haltemien, with the grep command? | 22:46 |
| soreau | Douro: It should be available without having to build anything | 22:46 |
| escott | Douro, not by default, they might have a ppa | 22:46 |
| haltemien | Benkinooby: Yes! | 22:46 |
| Acorn | What do I need to do if I'm trying to build something and it says "Could not find XOpenDisplay in -lX11."? | 22:47 |
| soreau | Acorn: That means youre likely missing X11 development headers | 22:47 |
| edbian | Is it possible to sniff network traffic without being associated to a AP with wireshark | 22:47 |
| Acorn | And before I continue.. nobody knows of a debian package for bashrun2 do they? :) | 22:47 |
| Benkinooby | haltemien, can you find out the ip of your tablet and then try to ping the tablet? | 22:47 |
| MeQuerSat | Anyone know a good archive manager? | 22:47 |
| escott | edbian, yes | 22:47 |
| SunTsu | edbian: Packets are flying over the air, what do you guess? | 22:48 |
| lunitunez | edbian: backtrack 5 is your friend | 22:48 |
| Douro | soreau, escott, can you run ls -l /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch for me? I need to be sure. | 22:48 |
| Bert_2 | I would like to get some information concerning possibly wrong dependencies, #ubuntu-dev doesn't exist so is this the right channel or not ? | 22:48 |
| haltemien | BEnkinooby: Wont ping tablet | 22:48 |
| Acorn | soreau: so I'd need to install xorg-dev? | 22:48 |
| escott | Douro, i dont have vgaswitcheroo or nvidia so I wouldnt expect that file to exist | 22:48 |
| edbian | SunTsu, escott lunitunez I thought so. What about with TCPDump ? I was not able to using TCP dump last time I tried | 22:49 |
| Benkinooby | haltemien, is it WPA2 encryption? | 22:49 |
| SunTsu | edbian: a big advantage for sniffers is a big drawback, too. You only can sniff what you receive. But I don't think this is ubuntu specific | 22:49 |
| haltemien | BEnkinooby: The terminal isent doing anything, no error message | 22:49 |
| Douro | escott: I want to know if it's included in the kernel | 22:49 |
| haltemien | BEnkinooby: Yeah, i tihnk so. Have to enter a password to log onto it | 22:49 |
| escott | Douro, and im 99% sure it isnt | 22:49 |
| densta | hello | 22:49 |
| edbian | SunTsu, I think you're right. But when talking about wifi, all packets can be 'heard' and therefore 'recieved' | 22:49 |
| soreau | Acorn: Probably libx11-dev | 22:49 |
| densta | got the latest install of ubuntu running | 22:49 |
| haltemien | Benkinooby: WPA/WPA2 | 22:49 |
| densta | mouse pointer lags, whats the first thing i should check to fix this? | 22:50 |
| SunTsu | edbian: only if you actually receive it, not being blocked away for instance, by metallic objects | 22:50 |
| soreau | Douro: That file doesnt exist here on 11.04, but it doesnt havr switchable graphics either | 22:50 |
| edbian | SunTsu, ahh, yeah | 22:50 |
| edbian | thanks | 22:50 |
| edbian | helpful as always! | 22:50 |
| densta | well not all the time | 22:50 |
| densta | but at the moment its lagging | 22:50 |
| Bert_2 | densta: have a look whether a process is overloading, run the system-monitor, processes tab and turn on "all processes" in the menu | 22:50 |
| spazzz | I been wanting to say this benkinooby but make sure he's info is correct too.I don't think he did it right.Make sure hes network name,password and the security wpa or what not is correct cause if all that is right it should work. | 22:51 |

| Jayface | sudo apt-get --fix missing | 22:53 |
| Bert_2 | bjrohan_: install compiz-settings or compiz-config-settingsmanager (depending on your version), then change the keybindings ;) | 22:53 |

| echo083 | oCean, cool and for security.ubuntu.com ? | 22:54 |
| Trigun191 | if I am using an old version of ubuntu could that affect me trying to install java | 22:55 |
| Yoshimitsuc | in all distro i haved it but on this i haven't but i very like it | 22:55 |
| densta | all normal here | 22:55 |
| oCean | echo083: none I think, since those repositories don't hold updates | 22:55 |
| Bert_2 | bjrohan_: Unity uses compiz for its effects and bindings, afaik, in the settingsmanager you can search for keybindings using the advanced search option, I'd look there and give it a try | 22:55 |
| Benkinooby | haltemien, i don't know who to ensure that all the info you gave me is correct. as spazzz pointed out, i don't think you're connected correctly, because then it should work. | 22:55 |
| densta | no high cpu or memory usage | 22:55 |
| bazhang | Trigun191, what version | 22:55 |
| Bert_2 | bjrohan_: maybe backup your settings first (there a button for that somewhere) | 22:55 |
| densta | Bert_2 : what next? | 22:56 |
| Benkinooby | haltemien, i also thought that your router might block your computer and you have to unlock it on the router first | 22:56 |
| bjrohan_ | ok | 22:56 |
| bjrohan_ | will do | 22:56 |
| echo083 | oCean, so i should remove security.ubuntu.com from my sources.list file ? | 22:56 |
| Trigun191 | 9.1 i am looking for sun java files bazhang but I see they dont do that for ubuntu anymore | 22:56 |
| escott | dr3mro, doesn't seem to be a valid command -l Used to specify that nc should listen for an incoming connection | 22:56 |
| escott | rather than initiate a connection to a remote host. It is an | 22:56 |
| escott | error to use this option in conjunction with the -p, -s, or -z | 22:56 |
| Benkinooby | haltemien, but you having wrong routes is very weired... | 22:56 |
| bazhang | Trigun191, upgrade to a supported version <---- step one | 22:56 |
| bjrohan_ | I haven't changed anything yet, could I just reset to default if it goes awry? | 22:56 |
| haltemien | Benkinooby: The information is correct, thats what is freakin me out. I dont think there is any reason for my router to block this computer, and i have friends over that connect there cellphones all the time without problems | 22:56 |
| Benkinooby | haltemien, do that command 'ps -A | grep dhc' | 22:56 |
| oCean | echo083: you have not told what you want to do. If you're still running an old/eol version I recommend you upgrade (if path is available) or reinstall | 22:57 |
| ubuntuDan_ | Hey | 22:57 |

| echo083 | oCean, yes still use an old version :( i'll upgrade you are right thanks for your time ;) | 22:57 |
| bazhang | Trigun191, yes, 11.10 is the latest | 22:58 |
| MeQuerSat | <soreau> Fileroller has virtually no options | 22:58 |
| guntbert | Trigun191: upgrading is a step by step process | 22:58 |
| MeQuerSat | Any *good* archive manager? :) | 22:58 |
| haltemien | Benkinooby: Nothing happens when i type: ps -A | grep dhc | 22:58 |
| Trigun191 | oh so it has to do each version to get to the main? | 22:58 |
| Benkinooby | haltemien, ha! | 22:58 |
| Yoshimitsuc | ok i found it :) | 22:58 |
| escott | !best | MeQuerSat you are going to have to define good. what is lacking in file-roller | 22:58 |
| ubottu | MeQuerSat you are going to have to define good. what is lacking in file-roller: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 22:58 |
| guntbert | Trigun191: 9.10 -> 10.04 -> 10.10 -> 11.04..... | 22:58 |
| soreau | MeQuerSat: It's just a frontend gui to most of the cli archive utilities | 22:58 |
| Benkinooby | haltemien, dhclient is the daemon that is responsible for configuring your network with DHCP | 22:58 |
| soreau | MeQuerSat: There's gzip, tar, unzip, unrar etc | 22:59 |
| Trigun191 | ok, so will i be able to get these sun java6 bin and sun java6 jre? | 22:59 |
| Benkinooby | haltemien, that could at least explain the weired routes | 22:59 |
| haltemien | Benkinooby: Cool! Can we fix it? :D | 22:59 |
| bazhang | Trigun191, from partner, once you have done that? yes | 22:59 |
| Trigun191 | ok | 22:59 |
| escott | haltemien, if you are using wpa/wpa2 its a good idea to disable the encryption and see if you can get online that way. if you can that would point to an issue with your wpa_supplicant setup | 22:59 |
| MeQuerSat | escott, I already defined that | 22:59 |
| Trigun191 | I am following a guide and it is just outdated, the link they had was for 9.1 | 22:59 |
| Benkinooby | haltemien, type that command 'dhclient' | 22:59 |
| Trigun191 | and it is just cause so many problems lol | 23:00 |
| escott | MeQuerSat, you said you want "options" but thats not adequate. what options? | 23:00 |
| MeQuerSat | soreau, yeah I know its just a GUI to the cli, but Id like a gui in which many options can be set (like compression level) | 23:00 |
| haltemien | Benkinooby: Nothing happends when i type: dhclient | 23:00 |

| guntbert | Trigun191: what is your real target? | 23:00 |

| haltemien | Escott: I removed the WPA, and it still doesnt work :/ | 23:15 |
| Trigun191 | yes guntbert, that is the same exact guide except I am using the one from the unlockr.com that has a video, the problem is once you get to the step of installing java from the terminal it can locate it its an error message, that guide is out of date | 23:15 |
| escott | haltemien, on the router you disabled the wpa | 23:16 |
| haltemien | Escott: Yes, It even says "open" network, on my tablet now | 23:16 |
| escott | haltemien, and you can confirm that nothing on the router is configured to block you (like mac address filtering) | 23:16 |
| haltemien | Escott: I just did a factory reset on the router, So unless its standard, it should do it | 23:16 |
| Acorn | I see there's a "decoration windows" setting in compiz.. is there an opposite? windows that shouldn't be decorated? | 23:16 |
| Trigun191 | well I hope i didnt mess the process up of using what they asked for because on that guide he has added in an extra step if you still cant get the java files, and I have already started upgrading the ubuntu | 23:17 |
| escott | haltemien, did you trying plugging in? did that work? | 23:17 |

| escott | haltemien, so you can connect with a cable but with the cable disconnected you can associate, but the router doesn't seem to recognize you are trying to connect | 23:19 |
| guntbert | Trigun191: sorry, no idea then (although that guide never mentions a specific ubuntu version) | 23:19 |
| Eighteens | how can i view a .hpg or .hpgl file in ubuntu, it keeps opening with gedit, or open office | 23:19 |
| szal | jtannenbaum: iOS != *buntu | 23:19 |
| haltemien | Escott: I can connect with the router wirelessly, but after its connected, it just like it just isent there anymore | 23:19 |
| jtannenbaum | wrong channel yay | 23:20 |
| escott | haltemien, yes that would be "associating" but you aren't getting a "dhcp lease" | 23:20 |

| haltemien | Escott: I got no clue. I hardly know what a dhcp is | 23:20 |
| escott | haltemien, so I'm not really sure how to debug this. what kind of wireless card do you have | 23:20 |
| Trigun191 | even the video tells you the version but I am guessing at the time that is what was out when they made it | 23:21 |
| haltemien | Escott: The wireless card worked fine with widnows. Let me check | 23:21 |
| yumbo | Eighteens, why would you wan to open it? Do you expect an image? | 23:21 |
| Eighteens | ok i said that wrong, it opens fine with gedit, but all that shows me is the text, this type of file should have some type of viewer that reads plotted coordinates, and renders them to some type of graphic on the screen.... | 23:21 |
| escott | haltemien, dhcp is dynamic host configuration protocol. basically you tell the router "i want to be online" and the router tells your computer how to configure itself to be online | 23:21 |
| haltemien | Escott: How can i check HW in ubuntu? | 23:21 |
| haltemien | Escott: ahhh | 23:21 |
| escott | haltemien, lshw -c network | 23:22 |
| yumbo | Eighteens, I believe XnView can open those files | 23:22 |
| Eighteens | yes yumbo, thanks for your response... it actually is a image | 23:22 |
| Trigun191 | the main thing is I am reading that ubuntu does not support the sun java files anymore, but if that is the case, what i use in there place? strange? | 23:22 |

| joseph_ | hey guys this is my lspci, http://pastebin.com/3s6iQHRP my web browsing is painfully slow | 23:23 |
| joseph_ | I tried connecting via lan and wlan and is the same thing | 23:24 |
| Trigun191 | how do I get that? | 23:24 |
| CharminTheMoose | I thought sun OS'ed java though? | 23:24 |
| itaylor57 | Trigun191, I have both oracle java 6 and 7 and am running 11.10 | 23:24 |
| escott | haltemien, so i dont really know how to debug this. sounds like something isn't working maybe with the wireless adapter. you might check if there are any messages in dmesg when you try and connect to the network | 23:24 |
| joseph_ | anyone has any ideas? | 23:24 |
| haltemien | Escott: How do i do that? :) | 23:24 |
| escott | haltemien, dmesg | tail -n 20 | 23:25 |
| yumbo | Eighteens, you can find it here: http://www.xnview.com/en/index.html | 23:25 |
| Flannel | Trigun191: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-security-announce/2011-December/001528.html lists a few possible paths forward | 23:25 |
| pidgin | I am trying to compile Pidgin in Ubuntu 10.04 but ./configure shows an error "You must have GLib 2.16.0 or newer development headers installed to build. If you have these installed already you may need to install pkg-config so I can find them." What is the package I need? | 23:25 |
| Trigun191 | ok so will that work the same, and where do I fet it | 23:25 |
| haltemien | Escott: Lots of info there, anything i should look for? | 23:25 |
| mongy | pidgin, use the pidgin ppa | 23:26 |
| escott | haltemien, anything that mentions your network card | 23:26 |
| Flannel | CharminTheMoose: They are removing the ability for distributors to modify java, thereby removing the ability for us to remove a few important bugs. | 23:26 |
| pidgin | mongy: I don't want that version. | 23:26 |
| Flannel | CharminTheMoose: That mailing list post has the details if you're interested | 23:26 |
| Trigun191 | where are the archives at? | 23:26 |
| haltemien | Escott: It say alot of stuff about MhZ and KHz, and in the end it says: no IPV6 routers present | 23:26 |
| Eighteens | yumbo, do you think that prints post script, or IN;SP0;PS;SC0, <--- stuff like that to graphics | 23:26 |
| Flannel | Trigun191: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-security-announce/2011-December/001528.html | 23:27 |

| Odamaz | Siri is calling me out | 23:27 |
| yumbo | Eighteens, Im not sure, but this site mentioned it: http://www.file-extensions.org/hp-file-extension-hp-graphics-language-plotter-file | 23:27 |
| Eighteens | yumbo i'll have a look, thanks for the tip, this was a big thing that 'someone forgot to overlook' before converting all windows machines | 23:27 |
| mongy | pidgin, you probably need libglib2.0-dev | 23:27 |
| escott | haltemien, you can also run tail -f /var/log/kern.log (type ctrl-c to close this) and then try to associate and see if anything pops up | 23:27 |
| pidgin | mongy: I am going to try thanks | 23:28 |
| escott | haltemien, that last bit could be interesting. you should be dual stack ipv6 and ipv4 but that might not be working | 23:28 |
| Trigun191 | I got that flannel, but which ones do I need that will work in place of the java jre and java bin | 23:28 |
| haltemien | Escott: Associate is that the same as wire the router again? | 23:28 |
| z3ro3x | Miro keeps crashing. Not usually when I'm using it but when I minimize it while it's downloading and come back to check on it, I find it closed. It seems to like to crash when it's out of focus and I'm not paying attention to it. Could use some help tracking down the issue. | 23:29 |
| cowlicks | #austinhackerspace | 23:29 |
| Flannel | Trigun191: That post (see option #1) gives you the package names. They're in the regular Ubuntu archives | 23:29 |
| escott | haltemien, so when you have a wired connection you just send electrical signals. when you use wireless you have to associate first which means you agree on what radio frequency to transmit on, and how to identify your messages from all the other wireless traffic | 23:29 |
| Trigun191 | good | 23:29 |
| ok_wait | hi all! how do i get the unity plugin visible in compizcontrol settings manager? | 23:29 |
| pidgin | mongy: that package worked. now show You must have GTK+ 2.10.0 or newer development headers installed to compile | 23:30 |
| pidgin | :P | 23:30 |
| === BlouBlou is now known as BlouBlou_ | ||
| === BlouBlou_ is now known as BlouBlou | ||
| mongy | pidgin, same again. libgtk2.0-dev | 23:30 |
| haltemien | Escott: Ok . I entered the command, and I shall now close the terminal, and connect wirelessly again? | 23:30 |
| pidgin | libgtk2.0-dev | 23:30 |
| pidgin | mongy: :) | 23:30 |
| pidgin | mongy: so the "dev" packages are needed to compile | 23:31 |
| ok_wait | apt-get install unity returns: The following packages have unmet dependencies. unity : Depends: compiz-core-abiversion-20110828 Depends: compiz-plugins-main-default but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. synaptic says there's no broken packages and the only locked package is gnome-session | 23:31 |
| escott | haltemien, no leave the terminal open | 23:32 |
| ok_wait | how do i install unity? | 23:32 |
| escott | haltemien, watch to see what appears as you try to associate | 23:32 |
| coolstar | ok_wait: It comes with ubuntu | 23:33 |
| ok_wait | coolstar, ah... but it's not installed | 23:33 |
| coolstar | ok_wait: What version of ubuntu do you have? | 23:33 |
| haltemien | Escott: It say alot on updating information on freq. It seem to try on several, and it ends with: Disabling 2284 MHZ. Regulatory domain changed to country GB (I live in norway). And then some freq stuff, and last IPv6 router is not present | 23:33 |
| ok_wait | coolstar, 11.10, just upgraded | 23:33 |
| haltemien | 2484* | 23:33 |
| coolstar | ok_wait: unity should come with 11.10 | 23:33 |
| mongy | pidgin, sorry, yes.. | 23:34 |
| ok_wait | coolstar, that's what i was thinking too but E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. | 23:34 |
| escott | haltemien, ok that could be the issue. national regulations restrict what frequencies channels are available. it may be that your router is operating at a channel that is legal in norway and illegal in the us/gb but to be most compliant ubuntu is restricting you to channels legal in the us/gb | 23:35 |
| ok_wait | coolstar, are there packages that conflict with unity that i need to remove? | 23:35 |
| haltemien | Escott: I find it hard to belive that anything is legal in norway, and illegal in other countries :P But how do we fix it? | 23:35 |
| coolstar | ok_wait try: "sudo apt-get -f install" | 23:35 |
| escott | haltemien, "rfkill list" might say something interesting | 23:35 |
| escott | haltemien, but check what channel your network is set to in your router | 23:36 |
| ok_wait | coolstar, 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded. | 23:36 |
| haltemien | Escott: 0: phy0: Wireless LAN: Soft Blocked: no, hard blocked: no | 23:36 |
| escott | haltemien, all this stuff is what makes wireless complicated | 23:36 |
| coolstar | ok_wait: try running software update and see if it works | 23:37 |
| haltemien | Escott: So what to try now? :P | 23:37 |
| escott | haltemien, what channel is your router set to | 23:38 |
| haltemien | Escott: How do i check that? | 23:38 |
| === Timic_ is now known as Timic | ||
| escott | haltemien, login to the router and see what it is set to | 23:39 |
| haltemien | Escott: Can i check it trough this android tablet? | 23:39 |
| escott | haltemien, however you want | 23:39 |
| ok_wait | coolstar, ok i guess i have 2 update managers, one of which says i need to install libboost-signals so doing that | 23:39 |
| haltemien | Escott: Dont know, how, so ill just connect the router again. | 23:40 |
| haltemien | Escott: brb | 23:40 |
| ok_wait | coolstar, apt-get install unity still returns unity : Depends: compiz-core-abiversion-20110828 | 23:40 |

| ok_wait | E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. | 23:40 |
| yumbo | ok_wait, if you run "sudo apt-get install compiz-plugins-main-default" what happens? | 23:41 |
| coolstar | ok_wait: try "sudo apt-get install compiz-plugins-main-default compiz-core-abiversion-20110828" | 23:41 |
| fishcooker | i've desktop iso how to 'upgrade' to the real server | 23:42 |
| fishcooker | donloding the server iso could take some times | 23:43 |
| fishcooker | any help would be gread | 23:43 |
| fishcooker | t support | 23:43 |
| ok_wait | coolstar, yumbo, Package compiz-core-abiversion-20110828 is a virtual package provided by: | 23:43 |

| yumbo | ok_wait, have you run "sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get update" already? | 23:44 |
| AndroUser2 | Escott: Channel 6 | 23:45 |
| === AndroUser2 is now known as Haltemien | ||
| Haltemien | Escott: Channel 6 even :) | 23:45 |
| ok_wait | yumbo, yes, same error of held broken packages. :/ | 23:45 |
| ok_wait | yumbo, not during clean and update but 'install unity' | 23:46 |
| fishcooker | what should i do to migrate from desktop to server minimal like? | 23:47 |
| fishcooker | anyone? | 23:47 |
| escott | Haltemien, so channel 6 should be ok. that leaves possible issues as: ipv4 vs ipv6 issues or some problem with the drivers for the wireless. unfortunately i dont really know how to deal with either | 23:48 |
| Haltemien | Escott: Its so freakin wierd. With windows its flawless. | 23:48 |
| yumbo | ok_wait, can you run "sudo apt-get install --force-all compiz-core" | 23:49 |
| Haltemien | Escott: Thanks anyway :) | 23:50 |
| ok_wait | yumbo, E: Command line option --force-all is not understood | 23:50 |
| yumbo | ok_wait, my bad, replace that with "-f" | 23:51 |
| ok_wait | compiz-core is already the newest version. | 23:51 |
| spazzz | Has anyone used codeweavers yet with the new version of linux? | 23:51 |
| yumbo | ok_wait, did you enabled any extra repositories? | 23:52 |
| ok_wait | yumbo, i haven't touched the repos in ubuntu | 23:52 |
| ok_wait | yumbo, should i? | 23:53 |
| yumbo | ok_wait, well, its always a good idea to change the main server to one in your country | 23:54 |
| spazzz | Hey haltemien sorry you didn't get it figured out but maybe your network provider can walk you through it on the phone.I know if I ever had a problem I couldn't figure out mine would. | 23:54 |
| danes | hello, can anyone please tell me where can I find help with php? | 23:54 |
| zpb0103_ | danes: ##php | 23:55 |
| Haltemien | Spazz | 23:55 |
| Haltemien | Spazz: Thanks mate, Im just gonna move my computer and wire it instead, and do what i need to do, and then move it back, and go back to windows :) | 23:55 |
| ok_wait | yumbo, mmmk.. i'm in the US. i'm looking over the software sources and there a bunch of repos that were 'disabled on upgrade to oneiric' | 23:56 |
| spazzz | DOn'T do that! windows ugghh... work threw it :( I know comcast supported linux they would help me / well they helped me twice when I had an issue with my internet I remember for a fact.I was being a noob and they walked me threw it over the phone.I misplaced the wire :/ | 23:57 |
| joe335 | hello | 23:58 |

| joe335 | i dunno if im in the right place but I got a problem I cant resolve | 23:58 |
| joe335 | would anybody be willing to help me out? | 23:59 |
| yumbo | joe335, state your problem and others can help | 23:59 |
