[00:00] <joe335> my laptop won't recognise my ethernet cable and I can't get online through a wired connection
[00:00] <ok_wait> yumbo, i have the canonical partners and main but the rest of them are labeled 'disabled on upgrade to oneiric'
[00:00] <ok_wait> yumbo,  i'll find universe and restricted repos and add them
[00:00] <joe335> newbie ish to ubuntu
[00:01] <yumbo> ok_wait, do you want to upgrade to oneiric ?
[00:01] <ok_wait> yumbo, i already have
[00:01] <ok_wait> yes
[00:02] <joe335> I really don't understand why there is a problem
[00:02] <incorrect> what is the name of the gnome3 window manager used in gnome-classic-session
[00:03] <escott> incorrect, clutter
[00:03] <joe335> nobody able to help??
[00:04] <yumbo> ok_wait, you cant re-enable the ones that were "disabled on upgrade to oneiric" ?
[00:05] <ok_wait> yumbo, i can but i don't know which one is which
[00:05] <yumbo> joe335, what happens if you run "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" from the terminal?
[00:05] <joe335> i'll give it a try and let you know
[00:05] <yumbo> ok_wait, you can always edit the actual file: "gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list"
[00:05] <yumbo> and look for the repo's yourself
[00:08] <calwig> Hi all im having a funny issue with skype 2.0 and ub8.04
[00:08] <ok_wait> yumbo, are you in the US?
[00:08] <yumbo> ok_wait, nope
[00:09] <calwig> Falis to log in, but nothing has changed in ubuntu nor skype
[00:09] <ok_wait> yumbo, i'm finding everywhere how to add repositories but i'm not seeing the server url to add for universe and restricted for oneiric
[00:09] <k1ng> how di find a word in files?
[00:10] <yumbo> ok_wait, can you post your sources.list file to pastebin ?
[00:10] <conntrack> I'm having a strange issue were everything is working perfectly
[00:10] <ok_wait> yea brb
[00:10] <joe335> Yumbo, It says: /etc/init.d/networking is deprecated because it may not enable again some interfaces then it says *reconfiguring network interfaces [ok]
[00:10] <calwig> How can i force a libasound2 force upgrade on ub8.04?
[00:10] <yumbo> conntrack, yeah, that happens sometimes: stuff works
[00:10] <yumbo> joe335, ok, thats what its supposed to say
[00:11] <joe335> no wired internet still
[00:11] <conntrack> yumbo: It's called hard work :)
[00:11] <ok_wait> yumbo, http://pastebin.com/it2RVj8i
[00:11] <yumbo> joe335, can you run "sudo ifdown eth0 && sudo ifup eth0" ?
[00:11] <int80_h> I need to install the package that provides runProcess.h. How can I discover which package provides this, via the command line?
[00:11] <joe335> I have added the wired network I want to use by automaticaly inputting the ip etc.
[00:12] <joe335> I'll give them both a try, brb
[00:12] <yumbo> ok_wait, every line that does not start with a # is an enabled repo
[00:12] <yumbo> so it seems multiverse and all others are enabled
[00:13] <yumbo> ok_wait, do you have synaptic installed?
[00:13] <ok_wait> yea
[00:13] <escott> !info apt-file | int80_h
[00:13] <ok_wait> yumbo, synaptic says there's no updates and gnome-session is the only locked package
[00:13] <yumbo> ok_wait, I suggest you try to install compiz-core via synaptic
[00:15] <glebihan> !find runProcess.h | int80_h
[00:15] <joe335> Yumbo: running sudo ifdown eth0 returns the following: ifdown: interface eth0 not configured.
[00:15] <calwig> How does one upgrade from 8.04 to the newest distro?
[00:15] <joe335> Yumbo: running sudo ifdown eth0 returns the following: ifdown: interface eth0 not configured.
[00:16] <glebihan> !eol | calwig
[00:16] <calwig> gleibihan thx, id.just like t run the upgrade script
[00:17] <ok_wait> yumbo, compiz-core is already the latest version however compiz-plugins-default is not and when i mark it for installation it gives me this http://pastebin.com/JgB2q05i
[00:17] <int80_h> glebihan: thanks!
[00:17] <abu-bakr> escott missing operaiving system
[00:17] <escott> calwig, given the number of changes from 8.04 to 11.04 a reinstall may be the best approach. see !clone
[00:17] <yumbo> joe335, then only run "sudo ifup eth0"
[00:17] <calwig> apt-get?
[00:17] <glebihan> int80_h, you're welcome. ubottu is your friend ;)
[00:17] <joe335> I ran that and it returned: ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0
[00:18] <escott> calwig, the upgrade script is do-release-upgrade
[00:18] <calwig> escott i guess i may have to do that
[00:18] <escott> abu-bakr, what stage of the boot is that
[00:18] <joe335> 11.10 drives me nuts
[00:18] <yumbo> ok_wait, you got the 64bit version of ubuntu?
[00:19] <abu-bakr> escott: bios
[00:19] <calwig> I
[00:19] <abu-bakr> tries the hard drives it is looking in the right place but I think the bootloader may not be pointing? to the right place?
[00:19] <abu-bakr> guessing
[00:19] <escott> abu-bakr, since you have multiple disks grub might have been installed on a disk that wasnt in the boot order
[00:19] <yumbo> joe335, can you give me the output of "lspci | grep Ethernet" ?
[00:19] <ok_wait> yumbo, yes
[00:19] <benbloom> i have a question about ssh and rsync that i don't even know how to google... If I log into a machine using ssh and then rsync from that machine to another, does the traffic only travel between the second machine and the third?
[00:19] <joe335> shall do. brb
[00:20] <abu-bakr> escott, yeah i tried changing boot priority in bios .. it is in the correct order
[00:20] <glebihan> benbloom, yes
[00:20] <benbloom> my understanding is that the process is owned by the first machine, but only as a parent is that correct?
[00:20] <abu-bakr> trying the other disks brings a read error while trying the one it chose in the first place brings the missing OS msg
[00:20] <anadon> Unity 3D  stopped working on my installation, what's the de-bug procedure?
[00:20] <escott> abu-bakr, or you might have an invalid mbr pointing to stuff that doesnt exist on the disk that is first in the boot order. generally what works best is to put grub on every mbr. for now point them all to the same boot partition and in the future if you mirror your boot partition each can point to its own boot partition
[00:21] <glebihan> benbloom, the process is not owned by the first machine, but the second (the one you're connecting to via ssh)
[00:21] <yumbo> ok_wait, can you select compiz-core and the click on Package --> Force Version ?
[00:22] <abu-bakr> escott i did this last night.. (3 mbrs)
[00:22] <benbloom> oh, but if i close the shell that i sshed in with , it terminates all children of that ssh command right?
[00:22] <abu-bakr> i get the feeling it wont work again
[00:22] <yumbo> ok_wait, and the select the version 0.9.6
[00:22] <glebihan> benbloom, right
[00:23] <benbloom> so is there a way to innitiate a command on a remote machine and then exit from the originating shell without terminating the process?
[00:23] <ok_wait> yumbo, 1:0.6.9 is the only version available but it can't install
[00:23] <yumbo> ok_wait, thats weird, 0.9.6 should be there too
[00:23] <benbloom> glebihan:  in other words is it possible to hand off 'parental' rights?
[00:23] <calwig> Jeez i didnt know i would have to upgrade to the next distro for just using Skype for example
[00:23] <abu-bakr> escott, also when unetbootin tried to load default HDD it gives the following: (initramfs) unable to find a medium containing a live file system
[00:24] <glebihan> benbloom, there are no "parental" rights involved
[00:24] <joe335> Back
[00:24] <joe335> back
[00:24] <glebihan> benbloom, what happens is actually exactly the same as when you close a terminal where you were running a command locally
[00:24] <escott> you have have to configure your initramfs to include the mdadm modules
[00:25] <glebihan> benbloom, the command that was running in the terminal terminates also in this case
[00:25] <ok_wait> yumbo, says compiz-plugins-default *latest version* 1:0.9.6+bzr20110929-0ubuntu6
[00:25] <benbloom> yes glebihan so is there a way to hand off the command so that it doesnt?
[00:25] <Bublik2002> my dell e6410 laptop is a certified ubuntu 11.10 32bit.... I installed the 64bit edition and my laptop freezes sometimes whenever i wake it from suspend... what could be the issue?
[00:25] <yumbo> ok_wait, thats good, install that version
[00:26] <ok_wait> yumbo, lol i can't
[00:26] <joe335> Right output is as follows: 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros communications inc. AR242x/AR542x wireless network adapter (pci-Express) (rev 01)

[00:26] <ok_wait> http://pastebin.com/JgB2q05i
[00:26] <abu-bakr> escott, ok how do i go about that
[00:27] <anadon> Unity 3D  stopped working on my installation, what's the de-bug procedure?
[00:27] <glebihan> benbloom, have a look at this, I think it should answer your question : http://superuser.com/questions/358560/how-to-run-a-process-and-completely-detach-it-of-its-parent-shell

[00:28] <MrUnagi> is there a way to sleep a remote machine without logging into ssh
[00:29] <MrUnagi> authenticating is fine, but there gotta be an all in one command like scp
[00:29] <ok_wait> yumbo, done
[00:29] <yumbo> joe335, do this "gksu gedit /etc/network/interfaces" and copy the contents of that file to pastebin
[00:29] <ok_wait> yumbo, restart X?
[00:29] <yumbo> ok_wait, nope

[00:29] <joe335> SORRY ABOUT CAPS, VERY TIRED.
[00:30] <yumbo> joe335, ok, just look at the file then: does it have a line with eth0 somwhere?
[00:31] <yumbo> ok_wait, now do this: "wget http://mirrors.us.kernel.org/ubuntu//pool/main/c/compiz/libdecoration0_0.9.6+bzr20110929-0ubuntu3_amd64.deb && sudo dpkg --force-all -i libdecoration0*.deb"

[00:31] <xrdodrx> whoops
[00:31] <ok_wait> yumbo,  k
[00:32] <yumbo> ok_wait, and the last one is "wget http://mirrors.us.kernel.org/ubuntu//pool/main/c/compiz/compiz-core_0.9.6+bzr20110929-0ubuntu3_amd64.deb && sudo dpkg --force-all -i compiz-core*.deb"

[00:33] <rodhash> Hello guys... anyone here knows this error when starting compiz ?? -> Fatal: Software rendering detected
[00:33] <yumbo> joe335, ok, now add these lines "auto eth0" and on the line below it "iface eth0 inet dhcp"

[00:34] <yumbo> ok_wait, now execute "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get install unity"
[00:34] <oneliner> is there a way to do the live boot trick from a phone instead of a usb?
[00:34] <malik_> haw to install inty 3d
[00:34] <Morgan> @oneliner what kind of phone?
[00:34] <joe335> won't let me edit the document
[00:34] <oneliner> i ve got a galaxy s and an itch to try that out; boot a computer into ubuntu life from the phone jacked in via usb
[00:34] <yumbo> joe335, did you use "gksu gedit /etc/network/interfaces" ?
[00:35] <joe335> yeah
[00:35] <ok_wait> yumbo,  :/ http://pastebin.com/yqMA2AP8
[00:35] <yumbo> joe335, ok try this then: "sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces"
[00:35] <Morgan> Hmm not with the phone
[00:35] <joe335> ok
[00:35] <oneliner> the problem is that there are too many result for actually installing ubuntu onto the cell phone that my search gets derailed
[00:35] <yumbo> Haltemien, you dont need to download the linux java version, all you need to do is execute this command "sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre" from the terminal
[00:36] <Morgan> Use google advanced search I doubt you will find anything though
[00:36] <oneliner> Morgan: what i am thinking is replacing the live usb stick with a live usb phone held sd card
[00:36] <conntrack> strange
[00:36] <Morgan> I know
[00:37] <conntrack> I do
[00:37] <oneliner> morgan i already found this but it aint ubuntu related http://forums.pcper.com/showthread.php?t=470546

[00:37] <joe335> ok done, still not recognising my wired ethernet cable.
[00:38] <joe335> am I being a noob or is this a common problem?
[00:38] <yumbo> joe335, you need to run "sudo ifup eth0" now
[00:38] <joe335> ok
[00:38] <yumbo> ok_wait, go to your home folder and remove those .deb packages
[00:39] <yumbo> ok_wait, pm?
[00:39] <calwig> Whats the gdebi command to force installation of a pkg?
[00:40] <yumbo> joe335, did "sudo ifup eth0" work now?
[00:40] <yumbo> calwig, you might want to use dpkg instead
[00:40] <ok_wait> yumbo, yea pm
[00:41] <Haltemien> chmod +x filename.bin, is the right wat to execute a program, right?
[00:41] <joe335> hey
[00:41] <OerHeks> Haltemien, yes correct
[00:41] <calwig> yumbo cool thx
[00:41] <joe335> I get the following: /etc/network/interfaces:4: unknown method ifup: couldn't read interfaces file "/etc/network/interfaces"
[00:41] <joe335> grrr
[00:42] <Haltemien> OerHeks: I'm trying to install newest jav, but nothing happends when i do that command
[00:42] <calwig> yumbo u know the force command?
[00:42] <OerHeks> Haltemien, after that just run that file
[00:42] <abu-bakr> Anyone know how to configure initramfs and mdadm
[00:42] <godofmischief> I uninstalled cairo-dock through the software center, even after rebooting it still will launch and run.
[00:42] <abu-bakr> ?
[00:43] <Haltemien> OerHeks: How do i run it? :P
[00:43] <yumbo> calwig, to force installation it is "sudo dpkg --force-all -i <packagename.deb>"
[00:43] <yumbo> joe335, can you show me the exact contents of your /etc/network/interfaces file?
[00:43] <calwig> yumbo

[00:43] <joe335> how?
[00:44] <yumbo> joe335, type it in http://paste.ubuntu.com/

[00:45] <abu-bakr> :/
[00:45] <yumbo> abu-bakr, took a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID already?
 Haltemien, you dont need to download the linux java version, all you need to do is execute this command "sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre" from the terminal
[00:46] <abu-bakr> yeah.. useless
[00:46] <yumbo> did you try that already, Haltemien ?
[00:46] <joe335> http://paste.ubuntu.com/773891/
[00:46] <joe335> there you go :)
[00:47] <joe335> is it something simple like having a space between each line
[00:47] <xangua> yumbo: Haltemien oralce java is no longer on ubuntu's repositories
[00:47] <joe335> I tell you what yumbo, you help me through this and i'll love you forever.
[00:48] <xangua> yumbo: openjdk doesn't fit your needs¿
[00:48] <joe335> lol, so tired.
[00:49] <ztag100> hey guys! I need help with sound controll
[00:50] <ztag100> on Ubuntu, I purged pulse-audio to fix sound issues
[00:50] <ztag100> But now I can't controll the volume
[00:50] <ztag100> help?
[00:50] <yumbo> ztag100, enter this from terminal: "alsamixer"
[00:51] <joe335> http://paste.ubuntu.com/773891/
[00:51] <ztag100> will I have to do that everytime I want to control sound?
[00:51] <joe335> just in case you missed it man
[00:51] <yumbo> joe335, try a newline between loopback and auto eth0
[00:51] <yumbo> (an Enter)
[00:52] <joe335> yeah, it won't let me save it now cus i opened it through filesystem rather than terminal :(
[00:52] <yumbo> joe335, "sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces"
[00:52] <ztag100> Thanks Yumbo, is there anyway I can add sound control to the menubar, like before pulseaudio?
[00:53] <yumbo> ztag100, there might be other volume tools that can control alsa sound (search in the software center for "alsa")
[00:53] <paulsomebody> In case if anyone present here ever wanted to get working a slider on the Microsoft Natural keyboard, I have just found an actual up-to-date how-to explaining this. http://sandilands.info/sgordon/scroll-with-microsoft-natural-ergonomic-keyboard-4000-ubuntu-linux
[00:53] <ztag100> looking now
[00:53] <guest_> I have just set up a cvs repo and I was wondering how I can restrict users to a particular projects?
[00:54] <joe335> stupid question but how do I exit after making changes? ^X doesn't work
[00:54] <paulsomebody> joe335: From nano? Try pressing 'q'.
[00:54] <godofmischief> insane, even after uninstalling via software center, and doing sudo apt-get remove cairo-dock, rebooted its still there and is launchable as if nothing even happened. Anyone got any clue as to how to remove this?
[00:54] <yumbo> joe335, you can use Control+O to write the file and then Control+X to exit
[00:55] <joe335> done
[00:55] <paulsomebody> godofmischief: Try removing it more thoroughly, by purging it via synaptic.
[00:55] <yumbo> joe335, now I hope "sudo ifup eth0" will work
[00:55] <joe335> should I now re attach my ethernet and try again?
[00:55] <paulsomebody> godofmischief: Of course, first you will have to install synaptic itself.
[00:55] <yumbo> joe335, yes
[00:56] <yumbo> godofmischief, you can also do "sudo apt-get remove --purge cairo-dock"
[00:56] <godofmischief> thanks guys going to try both of those methods in just a moment.
[00:56] <ztag100> downloading an app called Gnome Alsa Mixer, hopefully it works
[00:57] <joe335> ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH same issue as before: /etc/network/interfaces:5:unknown method ifup couldn't read interfaces file "/etc/network/interfaces"
[00:57] <calwig> So skype 2.2 installed
[00:57] <joe335> [enter] space between each and every line perhaps?
[00:57] <calwig> If you cant fit the couc thru the door, break the door
[00:58] <ztag100> to what is the proccess for the menubar called?
[00:58] <calwig> couch
[00:58] <ztag100> so I can type killall ____
[00:58] <ztag100> I can't remember
[00:59] <zacarias> hi. Some characters (like "ã", "é", "õ" or "ç") began suddenly to be replaced by russian characters. It happens on pdf's and webpages. Any idea of what it may be?
[00:59] <trism> godofmischief: make sure you remove all the cairo-dock packages (cairo-dock-core and cairo-dock-data at least)
[01:00] <yumbo> joe335, wait a minute
[01:00] <warfaren> zacarias: sounds like youre using the wrong character encoding
[01:00] <zacarias> warfaren: how can I check that?
[01:00] <joe335> I want to love ubuntu, it is amazing, but it is little complications like this that make it a bloody nigthmare for a windows all his life user.
[01:01] <paulsomebody> joe335: There are always some complications, don't despair. :)
[01:01] <joe335> i'm one step away from putting windows 7 on my christmas wishlist.
[01:01] <warfaren> zacarias: is it only occuring in your web browser?
[01:02] <joe335> lol, tbh the immense wealth of amazing programs keeps me hooked on ubuntu for the time being.
[01:02] <paulsomebody> joe335: Then take a break and come by later — judging from my own experience such things are better approached on step-by-step basis over some time.
[01:02] <crim> joe335, i'm coming to this late, but can you paste your interfaces file and put the url here?  not sure if I can help but i'll try...
[01:02] <yumbo> joe335, if you execute "iwconfig" can you see eth0 or eth1 ?
[01:03] <pete_> what is this
[01:03] <zacarias> warfaren: in Document Viewer with pdf's it happens too
[01:03] <borillion> my desktop crashes when I try to run things like Calibre, Virtualbox anyone know whats going on with qt?
[01:03] <yumbo> crim, his interfaces file is here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/773891/
[01:03] <joe335> http://paste.ubuntu.com/773891/ that's it but, since putting that up online I have added a space between loopback and auto eth0
[01:03] <crim> pete_, this is irc. ;)
[01:04] <yumbo> crim, but I think his eth0 is not loaded, so Im asking joe335 to do "ifconfig" and to check for eth0 or eth1
[01:04] <warfaren> zacarias: okay hmm thats strange. what browser are you using?
[01:04] <yumbo> joe335, can you run "ifconfig" and check for eth0 or eth1 ?
[01:04] <calwig> when dpkg is forced can the error msgss be removed to continue to update ubintu?
[01:04] <paulsomebody> borillion: It works okay for me, it must be just your Qt.
[01:05] <zacarias> warfaren: Firefox, but I checked with Seamonkey and it does the same
[01:05] <OerHeks> joe335, how did you install ubuntu, in virtualbox/vmware or truly on it's own partitions ?
[01:05] <joe335> Hey Yumbo, i can see eth0 but it says: no wireless extensions next to it
[01:05] <borillion> what version are you running paulsomebody?
[01:05] <calwig> or will the broken n count always block that
[01:05] <borillion> are you on nvidia?
[01:05] <joe335> I installed from a cd. Wiped windows out completely
[01:05] <paulsomebody> borillion: The one that is shipped with Onerric by default.
[01:05] <paulsomebody> borillion: I'll check now.
[01:05] <Haltemien> Is anyone here familiar with flashing a android phone with odin, in ubuntu?
[01:06] <warfaren> zacarias: ok. well i just thought for a test you could go to a webpage that gets messed up in firefox and switch the encoding. i think its somewhere under view or edit
[01:06] <borillion> :( I dont want to reinstall everything :(
[01:06] <borillion> Haltemien, what phone?
[01:06] <Haltemien> Nexus S
[01:06] <zacarias> warfaren: ok, I'll try that
[01:06] <joe335> when I installed ubuntu I was at my university address with a wireless connection. Now i'm at home with only wired.
[01:06] <anadon> Unity 3D  stopped working on my installation, what's the de-bug procedure?
[01:06] <borillion> Haltemien, look on cyanogenmod wiki
[01:06] <Haltemien> borillion: Ok, thanks :)
[01:07] <borillion> Haltemien, I have done my nexus one all the time
[01:07] <joe335> i'm no expert so i'm sure i've buggered something up along the way.
[01:07] <paulsomebody> borillion: 4.7.4, the version from the stable repository.
[01:07] <joe335> at least minecraft works.
[01:07] <warfaren> zacarias: try utf8 if it isnt selected already
[01:07] <yumbo> joe335, did you run ifconfig or iwconfig?
[01:07] <borillion> paulsomebody, how do I check?
[01:08] <joe335> iwconfig
[01:08] <godofmischief> synaptic seems to have taken care of it for me
[01:08] <joe335> want me to run ifconfig?
[01:08] <paulsomebody> borillion: What is crashing on you, exactly?
[01:08] <yumbo> joe335, yes, run ifconfig
[01:08] <Haltemien> Borillion: Ive bricked my nexus S, with the new ICS update. ive managed to get it into downloadmode trough a resurection program, and now i need to get odin up and running to flash the old sw. And i also need samsung drivers apperently. Bu I just got ubuntu today, and got no freakin clue :/
[01:09] <abu-bakr> I am convinced Ubuntu software RAID is absolutely useless
 everything it goes all the way back to the login screen :(
[01:09] <joe335> Yumbo, sorry, just realised i'm not adressing each message specificaly to you. forgive my poor knowledge of etiquette
[01:09] <yumbo> :)
[01:09] <yumbo> abu-bakr, thats not true at all, but why would you want RAID?
[01:10] <borillion> Haltemien, ahh ok your going to need to install adb and everything
[01:10] <yumbo> abu-bakr, are you planning to run raid for safety or speed improvements?
[01:10] <zacarias> warfaren: it was sellected. Anyway, I changed it and I tried severeal encodings (like "Western"), and it didn't change the errors. I came back to UTF-8
[01:10] <abu-bakr> its a work machine
[01:10] <paulsomebody> borillion: Everything?!
[01:10] <abu-bakr> both, speed and safety
[01:10] <yumbo> abu-bakr, how many HDD's?
[01:10] <abu-bakr> it has to be useless as I have spent nearly 25 hours doing this now since yesterday!
[01:11] <warfaren> zacarias: okay :/ i dont really know then sorry. hope someone else can help!
[01:11] <borillion> Haltemien, start here http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Howto:_Install_the_Android_SDK
[01:11] <abu-bakr> 3 disks raid5
[01:11] <Haltemien> Borillion: Yeah, and i got no clue. Iam not familiar with ubuntu, but i needed to install it for the resureqtion program, and i cant disconnect the phone, untill its done, and i need to do everything in ubuntu
[01:11] <zacarias> warfaren: okay, thank you anyway
 everything :(
[01:11] <borillion> Haltemien, can I pm you>?
[01:11] <paulsomebody> abu-bakr: Maybe your problem requires someone with deeper and more specific understanding of the problem? Maybe, there is a support channel for RAID, etc.
[01:12] <yumbo> abu-bakr, Ive used RAID myself a long time, but for safety I would recommend to just backup files on a regular basis to the other disks
[01:12] <Haltemien> borillion: OFC!
[01:12] <abu-bakr> yumbo: thanks..
[01:12] <joe335> yumbo: i see etho on there, would you like me to pastebin the text to the right of it?
[01:13] <yumbo> joe335, yes please
[01:13] <yumbo> abu-bakr, on ubuntu you can do that backing up very easily
[01:16] <Wonderhoof> :| it's been like 5 kernel updates and 10 new releases of ubuntu since i started using it and pulseaudio STILL hates stac9205 codecs
[01:16] <Wonderhoof> every single time i install ubuntu i have to spend days figuring how i got my goddamn headphones working last time. i'm getting tired of this
[01:17] <NotJimCarrey> ok, somehow my x is no longer working
[01:17] <Wonderhoof> NotJimCarrey, they're your ex. forget about them
[01:17] <yumbo> abu-bakr, why wouldnt that be a viable option?
[01:17] <yumbo> Wonderhoof, I think he means the X-Server display manager :o
[01:18] <joe335> yumbo, i'm having to look over at my laptop and type it all out so it is taking a little while.
[01:18] <NotJimCarrey> console comes up fine, but /etc/init.d/gdp (or lightdm) start just shows a black screen
[01:18] <joe335>  Yumbo,http://paste.ubuntu.com/773910/
[01:18] <joe335> There is also a block of text to the right of lo beneath eth0 you want that too?
[01:19] <yumbo> no
[01:19] <goddard> if i have a home parition already does ubuntu automatically detect that or do i have to some how configure it to recognize it?
[01:19] <abu-bakr> its  a work machine.. can't afford any downtime.. which is why I am spending time doing this in the evening and at night! but still not got anywhere with it.. its been a complete waste of time
[01:19] <NotJimCarrey> any ideas? it worked until i shut down to release my ip
[01:20] <Trigun191> 2 million packages later i am still insalling 10.04 on ubuntu, Ive already been able to download the newest one should I just go ahead with that install?
[01:20] <yumbo> joe335, can you change the line "iface eth0 inet dhcp" to "iface eth0 inet manual" and do "sudo ifup eth0" ?
[01:20] <Blackshirt> Not manual,but static
[01:21] <NotJimCarrey> checked syslog and didn't find anything out of the ordinary
[01:21] <joe335> yumbo is that on the etc/networks/.... file thing?
[01:22] <yumbo> abu-bakr, if you cant afford downtime, you might want to use RAID1 instead (maybe thats easier to setup?)
[01:22] <yumbo> joe335, yes: "sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces"
[01:22] <abu-bakr> yes .. but its a massive downer!
[01:22] <yumbo> Blackshirt, I want to try manual first and then static if eth0 gets activated
[01:22] <abu-bakr> and really not happy with ubuntu
[01:22] <yumbo> abu-bakr, why is RAID1 a massive downer?
[01:26] <yumbo> NotJimCarrey, whats exactly the problem?
[01:26] <joe335> Yumbo, back! right changed it to manual. ifconfig again?
[01:26] <abu-bakr> because its not raid5
[01:27] <abu-bakr> lol
[01:27] <yumbo> joe335, no, "sudo ifup eth0"
[01:27] <abu-bakr> it suited my needs right now ideally
[01:27] <joe335> cool.
[01:28] <min|dvir|us> How do I get a list of installed top-level packages (that is, packages upon which no other installed package depends)?
[01:28] <joe335> didn't do anything at all.
[01:28] <yumbo> abu-bakr, for your situation I would recommend raid1
[01:29] <yumbo> joe335, did it display an error?
[01:29] <joe335> nope
[01:29] <conntrack> There can be only one
[01:29] <joe335> Yumbo, hit enter and it just gave me a new command line
[01:30] <yumbo> joe335, thats good
[01:30] <yumbo> joe335, is the cable connected to your router?
[01:30] <joe335> does it mean it's working?
[01:31] <joe335> not right now but it has been every time you asked me to do something with my laptop.
[01:31] <joe335> this router only has one bloody port
[01:31] <yumbo> 1 port?
[01:31] <yumbo> lol
[01:31] <joe335> so I have to disconnect this computer before I connect my laptop. Sucks being at home.
[01:31] <yumbo> are you sure it isnt a modem?
[01:32] <NotJimCarrey> ok, got it. aparently lightdm decided it didn't want to work anymore
[01:32] <NotJimCarrey> installed slim
[01:32] <joe335> it might be.
[01:32] <yumbo> joe335, if its a modem: I had the exact same problem a day ago
[01:32] <joe335> it is. Gosh i'm stupid.
[01:32] <joe335> :(
[01:33] <joe335> it's a real oldschool talk talk thing
[01:33] <yumbo> a modem usually only allows 1 mac-address at a time
[01:33] <yumbo> meaning it will give an IP to your desktop pc, but not to your laptop
[01:33] <joe335> been trying to convince the parents to get wireless for ages but i'm the only one here who needs it
[01:33] <joe335> so I have no chance!
[01:33] <mrmj> hello
[01:34] <joe335> I used to connect it to this same laptop when it had windows as the os
[01:34] <yumbo> joe335, what I would recommend: buy a router
[01:34] <sertaconay> Hello, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1894195
[01:34] <joe335> yeah, think I should.
[01:34] <mrmj> does anyone know the best way to get older video drivers in ubuntu 11?
[01:35] <yumbo> its not really a fault of ubuntu/linux, rather of the modem
[01:35] <mrmj> i need a very old one and its not in the repositories...
[01:35] <joe335> Yumbo, it does give windows an aditional brownie point over ubuntu for me.
[01:35] <joe335> as windows never had this problem
[01:36] <mrmj> avi and other videos lag badly :(
[01:36] <yumbo> joe335, either way I would definitely recommend getting a router as a modem probably does not even have a firewall
[01:36] <joe335> back to hijacking the neighbours wifi then till I can afford a router.
[01:37] <zpb0103_> a modem is a bridge and doesnt give out ip's or have a firewall
[01:37] <joe335> thanks so much for your time though yumbo, wish i'd mentioned it was a modem earlier, could have prevented wasting your time.
[01:37] <yumbo> :)
[01:37] <mrmj> anyone have an idea? why avi and like youtube videos lag badly?
[01:38] <yumbo> joe335, I know a good router for ~40 euros, that wouldnt be too much?
[01:38] <joe335> I don't really get how it would work on the same laptop in windows and not ubuntu though?
[01:38] <mrmj> they work fine in old versions of ubuntu
[01:38] <joe335> yeah that's acceptable
[01:38] <yumbo> mrmj, ubuntu 64 bit?
[01:38] <zpb0103_> joe335: its the same mac address to your ISP, so there isnt any reason why it shouldnt work
[01:38] <mrmj> its 32
[01:38] <joe335> it doesn't
[01:39] <yumbo> zpb0103, Ive had the exact same problem (it seems windows is more eager to get a new ip than linux?)
[01:39] <yumbo> joe335, I have the TL-WR1043ND at my parents house, great router
[01:39] <mrmj> i have a dinosaur computer that i use for web surfing and watching videos, it worked fine in like ubuntu 6 but with 11.1 it lags badly
[01:39] <joe335> so it's more to do with the fact that windows are sneaky buggers rather than them being better
[01:40] <yumbo> joe335, Im not sure really
[01:40] <mrmj> i assume its the driver but theres no older ones in the repository for my very old video card
[01:40] <joe335> tbh, i preferred older versions of ubuntu. had ubuntu on my old laptop and it was perfect.
[01:40] <yumbo> mrmj, which video card?
[01:41] <mrmj> its like an nvidia riva tnt
[01:41] <joe335> what's the router you'd reccomend Yumbo?
[01:41] <mrmj> very old
[01:41] <mrmj> pre- ge force
[01:41] <yumbo> joe335, TP-Link TL-WR1043ND
[01:41] <joe335> and you reckon it'd be easy to set up?
[01:41] <yumbo> yep
[01:41] <mrmj> can i add a repository to download old drivers?
[01:42] <yumbo> mrmj, can you do "lspci | grep VGA" ?
[01:42] <zpb0103_> what model modem do you have joe335
[01:42] <mrmj> in the terminal?
[01:43] <yumbo> mrmj, yup
[01:43] <min|dvir|us> How do I list the contents of an APT repository?
[01:43] <min|dvir|us> How do I get a list of installed top-level packages (that is, packages upon which no other installed package depends)?
[01:43] <conntrack> Well the net si working again
[01:43] <mrmj> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV5 [RIVA TNT2/TNT2 Pro] (rev 15)
[01:44] <joe335> zpb0103: I have a SmartAX MT882
[01:44] <mrmj> dinosaur
[01:44] <mrmj> lol
[01:45] <yumbo> mrmj, can you type in "driver" in the Search function of ubuntu and then click "additional drivers" ?
[01:45] <Tech-1> mrmist:  i think 173 prolly would work best for that card, isnt it an older card
[01:45] <mrmj> i can try that again, does a search right?
[01:46] <zpb0103_> joe335: thats got a built in router
[01:46] <joe335> has it
[01:46] <joe335> it has an ethernet port
[01:46] <mrmj> nothing comes up
[01:46] <joe335> but I can't for the life of me get it working on my laptop
[01:46] <mrmj> no proprietary drivers it says
[01:47] <zpb0103_> did it require you to use a ppoe client in windows
[01:47] <yumbo> joe335, I'd just buy a router
[01:47] <mrmj> i tried the current nvidia one from synaptic and it showed there active but said not in use
[01:47] <joe335> to be honest I don't know! it was as simple as plugging an ethernet cable in
[01:47] <joe335> will do Yumbo.
[01:48] <mrmj> so i removed that..
[01:49] <yumbo> mrmj: install nvidia-96
[01:49] <dr3mro> hello , I want to check my root fs that is ext4 in ubuntu 11.10 for error but without restart .. idon't want to repair anything it found just give me a report how to do that ?
[01:50] <joe335> right, i'm rediculously tired. Thanks so much for your help, Yumbo. goodnight guys.
[01:50] <mrmj> oh cool ill try it, it said it wast for my card but ill give it a try
[01:50] <yumbo> joe335, dont forget to change the line back to inet dhcp when you get the router ;)
[01:50] <joe335> will do.
[01:51] <yumbo> joe335, gn :)
[01:51] <joe335> Yumbo, night.
[01:51] <mrmj> said 71 was the version i needed or legacy, but they arent in the repository so maybe not working with 11.1
[01:53] <mrmj> i tried the current driver, then 96, but forgot to uninstall the first and had to reinstall the operating system lol
[01:53] <escott> dr3mro, fsck -n
[01:54] <dr3mro> escott, will that scan my ext4 but will just report me !!!
[01:54] <dr3mro> escott, i don't it to mess my partition
[01:55] <abu-bakr> escott, hey dude your back.. I feel like ripping my hair out!
[01:55] <escott> dr3mro, just look at fsck --help and it lists all the options right there
[01:55] <dr3mro> escott, it tills me I have error . and i dont have a live cd .. will reboot and log into recovery mode will be suffecient for fsck ?
[01:56] <escott> dr3mro, you still will want to do this from the livecd
[01:56] <escott> dr3mro, you want to get it to ro mode so if you boot to init 1 you should be able to remount ro
[01:57] <escott> abu-bakr, whats the problem
[01:57] <abu-bakr> escott, I have just made a new persistent live usb.. as the raid5 array created with a non persistent usb looks like it may not be recoverable.. ?!
[01:57] <dr3mro> escott, thnx
[01:58] <escott> abu-bakr, what does persistence have to do with anything?
[01:58] <escott> abu-bakr, are you having trouble because you dont have your mdadm.conf? thats not a big deal just run mdadm --assemble --scan
[02:00] <abu-bakr> being able to access the raid 5 array that is now ...
[02:01] <bogdan> hi
[02:01] <bogdan> does anyone know how do I get spdif passthrough to work on ubuntu oneiric?
[02:01] <conntrack> What's a clueso
 i tried the current driver, then 96, but forgot to uninstall the first and had to reinstall the operating system lol
[02:01] <yumbo> wait, what?
[02:02] <abu-bakr> ok.. escott, this is crazy.. It wouldn't work without your help.. I shall continue with it but i'm not sure its worthit for other work machines in the future..
[02:02] <mrmj> yeah lol
[02:02] <mrmj> i figured they were just conflicting and it wouldnt startup
[02:02] <escott> abu-bakr, the mdadm documentation can be hard to understand if you are coming in blind are you following any howtos?
[02:03] <escott> abu-bakr, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID
[02:03] <abu-bakr> that one is far off the mark from what I have here
[02:04] <almoxarife> bogdan: is the issue related to xbmc?
[02:04] <abu-bakr> i have read it several times over and over and it doesn't make anysense/doesnt work
[02:05] <mrmj> from what i read online it said i needed driver 71 rather than 96, but i never got to try 96
[02:06] <escott> abu-bakr, this may be more up to date. im assuming you are using the server install disk
[02:06] <escott> abu-bakr, https://help.ubuntu.com/11.10/serverguide/C/advanced-installation.html
[02:06] <mrmj> 71 or legacy, but i dont see either in the repositories
[02:07] <bogdan> almoxarife, no, it's related to mplayer
[02:07] <abu-bakr> nope.. using the standard install disk.. i havent 'followed' it word for word as I don;t want to use a text only install if i can help it
[02:07] <bogdan> almoxarife, or smplayer for that matter or even totem
[02:08] <abu-bakr> the mdadm commands are not working this time for some reason
[02:08] <escott> abu-bakr, i dont think you want to use the standard install disk it won't setup the initramfs correctly
[02:09] <abu-bakr> yes that is what has been happening since yesterday but there is nothing to warn me of this..
[02:10] <abu-bakr> however i thought you knew of a way of fixing that issue by changing the mdadm config files?
[02:11] <wookienz> slightly off topic, but how does one sent a command to a IRC bot?
[02:11] <escott> i dont know exactly how its done probably something with dpkg-reconfigure
[02:11] <escott> abu-bakr, http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/intrepid/man5/initramfs.conf.5.html
[02:11] <Trigun191> Yo! finally got the packages on 10.04
[02:12] <Trigun191> if I upgrade to the new one does anyone think they will still be there
[02:12] <mrmj> ty for your help yumbo, i will try that driver..
[02:15] <spazzz> So any of you guys heard of installing wow on 11.10 cause I looked it up on youtube and noticed that can't do it on there.Also saw one thing on forum but it was old so wasn't sure if it would be accurate.
[02:16] <abu-bakr> escott, thanks for that.. had a read through that page and a bit of the ..tools page but way too much information and too late at night for it ..
[02:16] <spazzz> I asked b4 but got disconnected roomate pulled cord out of the wall
[02:16] <abu-bakr> so the alternative is to create a 11;10 server usb and follow the instructions for athat?
[02:17] <abu-bakr> this is why I feel raid5 for ubuntu for most people - just doesnt work
[02:17] <matt_> Hi so I am having two problems I believe to be related:
[02:17] <escott> abu-bakr, that would probably be easier, im surprised you were able to make any headway with the standard cd
[02:17] <Tuxiscool> Hello. Is there any configuration subdir of the user's /home dir into which icons can be placed so that the current icon theme will use them?
[02:17] <matt_> Games have choppy performance and sound delay
[02:17] <matt_> Native games
[02:17] <meerkats> how do I apply a patch to vlc?
[02:19] <abu-bakr> ok.. i reaaally wanted to stick to 11.04
[02:19] <abu-bakr> is raid 1+0 an option for me?
[02:19] <spazzz> Matt there is alot of games you can play though,which one you thinking about?
[02:19] <mattrb> spazzz, almost every single one I've tried
[02:19] <mattrb> All of them are choppy (seems to correspond to lots of sound) with delayed sound.
[02:19] <spazzz> cod4?
[02:19] <escott> abu-bakr, you can use an 11.04 server disk. you could certainly do 1+0 if you wanted
[02:20] <mattrb> No native linux games
[02:20] <spazzz> well with linux the sound issue is cause of
[02:20] <spazzz> don't quote me on this but open al or something like that need to look it up
[02:20] <spazzz> but that is an easy fix
[02:20] <spazzz> brb
[02:21] <mattrb> Trine, Jamestown, Shadowgrounds, etc. lots of Humble Indie Bundle games
[02:21] <paulsomebody> Tuxiscool: Yes, there is.
[02:21] <paulsomebody> Tuxiscool: But what are you trying to do? Add a custom icon to the application?
[02:22] <mattrb> spazzz, most of these games use SDL or similar just to note
[02:22] <paulsomebody> Tuxiscool: That would be /usr/share/icons/ubuntu-mono-dark/ for default theme.
[02:22] <N00bish> hi room. can anyone advise re: speeding up ftp transfers. i have just set up an ftp server on latest distro and download speeds from it are half that of another similarly hosted (remote) server. no ssl/encryption is enabled.
[02:23] <Kingtiger01> @N00bish: is this a local transfer(LAN) or is this a WAN/Internet transfer
[02:23] <wookienz> hi, i have an open port under netsta. I want to close it, how do i do that?
[02:24] <Tuxiscool> paulsomebody: It needs to be in /home, publicly accessible. I'm coding an application that needs to show recent web history (favicons) in the menu, and I'm temporarily wanting to add them to the theme so that they're visible (only icons in the theme are visible in the unity menu)
[02:25] <Kingtiger01> does anyone know if the Transmission team has a Current PPA
[02:25] <paulsomebody> Tuxiscool: Hmm. I think history is implemented via the cache of something like that.
[02:25] <spazzz> mattrb hmm,maybe its just all the games I play use that.open al was usually always the problem after looking it up for sure.
[02:25] <paulsomebody> Tuxiscool: This is not quite what you asked about.
[02:26] <paulsomebody> Tuxiscool: I think it would be better if you would have asked at #ubuntu-dev those guys should know more.
[02:26] <Tuxiscool> paulsomebody: Ah, thanks. I was unaware of that channel.
[02:27] <paulsomebody> Kingtiger01: Google knows, and it have agreed to share its secret with me. http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/05/transmission-2-31-released-hits-ppa/
[02:27] <N00bish> kingtinger01: wan
[02:27] <bogdan> does anyone know how do I get spdif passthrough to work on ubuntu oneiric? (in smplayer or mplayer or any other movie player)
[02:28] <Kingtiger01> @Paulsomebody : Yeah thats there out-of-date ppa, there nightlys on there are over 6 months old
[02:29] <paulsomebody> Kingtiger01: Search the Launchpad then.
[02:29] <meerkats> how do I find any given command of all those used in my terminal NOT using the up keys to check one by one?
[02:29] <meerkats> like ctrl something to list only those starting with a letter
[02:29] <scott__> escott: what was the name of the install i need to re-install? some sorta l****kit??
[02:29] <King_Ozzy> hey meerkats
[02:29] <meerkats> King_Ozzy,
[02:29] <King_Ozzy> I like your nick
[02:30] <meerkats> thx i guess
[02:30] <trism> meerkats: ctrl+r
[02:30] <paulsomebody> meerkats: You press the first letter and the hit the Tab for auto completion twice. This will list possible commands.
[02:30] <Kingtiger01> @Noobish : whats youre upload Bandwidth and what is the average transfer rate
[02:31] <meerkats> thanks Trism
[02:31] <scott__> escott: it had to do with my usb flash drive issue
[02:32] <N00bish> kingtiger01: the serving machine has 40Mbps upload speed and receiving has 50Mbps download.
[02:33] <meerkats> TO use the patch command I need to name the patch file. I have no idea what name to use for http://pastebin.com/2eCV28u3
[02:33] <scott__> escott: was it libutilitykit?
[02:33] <N00bish> kingtiger01: average transfer rate is 2.1MB/s
[02:33] <N00bish> kingtiger01: on a similarly hosted server average transfer rate is 4.9MB/s
[02:34] <Kingtiger01> ouch, is this FTPS/FTP or SFTP?
[02:34] <N00bish> plain ftp as i know sftp is slower
[02:35] <Kingtiger01> not necessarily, in some enviorments depending on file size the overhead of SFTP is not much slower if any at all.
[02:35] <Kingtiger01> and what FTP Daemon are you using
[02:35] <scott__> !daemon
[02:35] <meerkats> like in  patch -p1 < filenamehere
[02:35] <N00bish> Kingtiger01: receiving machines filezilla settings look identical for both. have just installed proftpd on 2.1MB/s server
[02:36] <fbdystang> Hi all, does ubuntu have a script to automatically update ip with changeip.com? Thanks
[02:36] <Kingtiger01> Ahh proftpd, had a issue recently with that. one sec let me look over my notes.
[02:37] <scott__> kingtiger01: please define daemon for a noob, if you're not already too busy
[02:37] <N00bish> cheers kingtiger01
[02:38] <N00bish> am open to suggestions of alt ftp software
[02:38] <Kingtiger01> Daemon is a application that runs as a background service. FTPD for example is a FTP Server Daemon. Along with PROftpD
[02:38] <escott> scott__, policykit-1
[02:38] <yumbo> N00bish, using vsftpd here
[02:38] <meerkats> trism, I have used ctrl+r successfully once, but every time I try to look for patch, I can only write "pa", and shows the results for "pa" why?
[02:39] <scott__> escott: thanks my man. gonna use sudo apt-get install...is that what you reccomend?
[02:39] <yumbo> N00bish, for those speeds I would recommend using SFTP
[02:40] <trism> meerkats: it only searches the history, if you want to complete general commands, use tab as paulsomebody suggested
[02:40] <meerkats> ok
[02:41] <Jeaton> what good dvd burning software is out there on ubuntu, I use to use tovid on 10.04?
[02:41] <Jeaton> do you guys recommend that for 11.10?
[02:41] <ubuntunoob> k3b
[02:42] <ubuntunoob> and brasero
[02:42] <yumbo> Jeaton, brasero
[02:42] <escott> scott__, you can try it, but there may be other things that were broken when you tried to remove unity
[02:42] <abu-bakr> escott, fella.. I cannot find any information on hooking my existing installation up with a new disk to create a raid 1 array..!
[02:42] <abu-bakr> using 11.04 standard.
[02:42] <ubuntunoob> im thinking of getting a sansa fuze+
[02:43] <scott__> escott: Building dependency tree       Reading state information... Done    policykit-1 is already the newest version.
[02:43] <ubuntunoob> how is linux compatibility?
[02:43] <nick22> wazzzzzzuuup
[02:43] <ubuntunoob> can it sync  and stuff?
[02:45] <trism> meerkats: for your previous question, the name of the patch file doesn't matter, although they often end in .diff or .patch by convention
[02:46] <meerkats> thx trism, I have downloaded the patch and named vlcpatch.diff, now I have to confirm what it does, I dont want it to change the date of my laptop everytime I run the thing
[02:47] <meerkats> incidentally, does any of you know where does VLC store its vlcx128-xmas.png?
[02:47] <scott__> escott: you think that now that i've successfully xferred all my files due to your earlier assistance, and it is now safe to loose any files on my machine....that i should just suck it up and re-install ubuntu at this point? i mean it IS  a rather painless operation afterall, and i'm not too far vested in this particular insatllation
[02:50] <mattrb> So anyone have any ideas as to what could be causing my sound delay/lag in games?
[02:51] <paulsomebody> mattrb: Which version of Ubuntu do you have?
[02:51] <mattrb> paulsomebody, 11.10
[02:52] <paulsomebody> mattrb: I may offer only the unthinkable. :)
[02:52] <mattrb> hmm?
[02:52] <paulsomebody> mattrb: Google it, or look up similar pleas for help on forums.
[02:53] <skegeek> I rebooted and there's a screen saying it couldn't restore screen settings. Problem is it has no close button and it's longer than the screen.
[02:53] <ethosrot> Is there a way to get at another machine's serial ports and map your own /dev/ttyS* to them (over a LAN)?
[02:59] <escott> abu-bakr, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mdadm#Growing_an_array_by_adding_devices
[02:59] <escott> scott__, it all depends on how much customization of your desktop you have done and how willing you are to have to do it again
[03:07] <dragomir> hi all - i have an ibm thinkpad x61 running ubuntu 10.04. Sometimes the system will just shut off out. I think it has to do with the fan control of thinkpads. Has anyone experienced any issues with this? Can someone please help me?
[03:13] <skylined101> hello everyone
[03:13] <skylined101> ISP is blocking my ports @@ .. what is a way around this ?how can i scan if they left some open ports ?
[03:19] <Haltemien> Could anyone walk me trough on how to get a VM on ubuntu? :)
[03:20] <mebigfatguy1> can't boot 11.10 using linux 3.0, pure purple screen. using GEForce FX 5200. Can boot with 2.6.8... adding nomodeset, changes it so that the screen is black with blinking cursor but no love. Anything i can do to track down what's wrong?
[03:22] <bazhang> Haltemien, vbox?
[03:22] <mebigfatguy1> Haltemien: sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose
[03:22] <mebigfatguy1> i would expect
[03:23] <bazhang> Haltemien, start up virtualbox, follow the prompts, (creating a virtual hdd, giving it ram, etc.) then point it to the .iso you have dl'd
[03:24] <qmanjr5> My sound has just recently decided to stop working. It was working fine yesterday, but now it's not working at all...
[03:25] <Haltemien> Bazhang: Does it work with. exe files aswell?
[03:25] <fbdystang> following Haltemien's question, is there a way to use the old vbox version and not the ose?
[03:26] <fbdystang> Haltemien: yes it does
[03:26] <bazhang> Haltemien, since those are not OS's, no
[03:26] <Satin> trying to download gparted, but get 404 error,
[03:26] <mebigfatguy1> qmanjr5: my audigy sound does that occasionally.. using alsamixer fixes it tho
[03:26] <Satin> using terminal and software center
[03:26] <fbdystang> you install windows inside of vbox, in which you can run exe files
[03:27] <Haltemien> I just need VM to run a windowsprogram called "odin"
[03:27] <krieg1> good evening, is there a cfg tool or manager tool of some sort for unity? or some process or package to get to add a panel, make launchers on it, etc?
[03:27] <mebigfatguy1> Haltemien: should be fine. Just install windows in the vm
[03:27] <Satin> but no luck
[03:27] <Blackshirt> Satin..you can download with apt or aptitude
[03:27] <Haltemien> Hmm. Could anyone guide me trough that?
[03:27] <Satin> no
[03:28] <mebigfatguy1> krieg1: cairodock is pretty nice
[03:28] <pm-> whats the command for listing the installed packages?
[03:29] <fbdystang> Haltemien: do you have vbox installed?
[03:29] <Blackshirt> Pm- dpkg -l
[03:29] <krieg1> mebigfatguy1: no i meant to actually cfg unity,
[03:29] <mebigfatguy1> Haltemien: guide thru what?
[03:29] <mebigfatguy1> Haltemien: install virtual box, get an iso of the windows installer, tell virtual box about it, and it will install it
[03:29] <Haltemien> fbdystang: Yes
[03:29] <pm-> ty
[03:29] <mebigfatguy1> krieg1: ah, beside compiz?
[03:29] <fbdystang> Haltemien: now do you have your windows cd?
[03:30] <Haltemien> What windows installer? Like iso of win7?
[03:30] <fbdystang> yea
[03:30] <Haltemien> No, but i got a bootable USB with win7
[03:30] <krieg1> mebigfatguy1: no, i mean without all the extra junk, is there a tool to work on unity, add launchers, add a bar, a drawer to a bar, etc
[03:30] <fbdystang> is it an iso?
[03:30] <mebigfatguy1> Haltemien: can you put odin on the usb?
[03:30] <Haltemien> Nope :/
[03:31] <Haltemien> I could put odin a the usb
[03:31] <Haltemien> on*
[03:31] <MoLoot> I have a server running with xrdp. When I connect from home and from work, I get two different sessions.  Is there a way I can either share the session or when I login have it drop the other connection so I have the other desktop or can use my firewfox without having to manually kill the process
[03:31] <mebigfatguy1> Haltemien: i don't think you can transfer a win7 install from a drive to vbox.
[03:31] <mebigfatguy1> Haltemien: really need to install it.
[03:32] <mebigfatguy1> Haltemien: altho never say never
[03:32] <Haltemien> mebigfatguy1: But i can just download an win7 ISO right?
[03:32] <fbdystang> right
[03:33] <fbdystang> but you will need the activiation code
[03:33] <mebigfatguy1> yup :)
[03:33] <ok_wait> hi all, i'm looking for help with compositing in 11.10 and the new 3.0.0.15.17 kernel. it worked fine before upgrading (from 11.04 and the 2.6.38-11 kernel). no transparency, no wobbly windows or anything. what am i doing wrong?
[03:33] <bazhang> Haltemien, you can purchase one
[03:33] <Blackshirt> No,you must pay your windows
[03:33] <fbdystang> which is why we all hate windows here
[03:34] <Haltemien> Ok, ill buy one then :P
[03:34] <krieg1> mebigfatguy1: is thre anyway at all to add panels, launchers or adjust the de?
[03:34] <Blackshirt> Not hate,but we must respect windows right
[03:34] <mebigfatguy1> launchers yes
[03:35] <mebigfatguy1> launchers are defined by *.desktop files
[03:35] <krieg1> ive been trying, unable to add a drawer or launchers to the panel
[03:35] <mrmj> This driver is activated but not currently in use.....?
[03:35] <mrmj> whats up with that?
[03:35] <Haltemien> How do i execute a tar.gz file in the console?
[03:36] <krieg1> huh? what about non linux stuff, how are you suppose to make a launcher for that?
[03:36] <bazhang> Haltemien, what file
[03:36] <mebigfatguy1> krieg1: sorry, i must have misunderstood you. never mind.
[03:37] <MoLoot> Haltemien: You cannot execute, but you can extract the contents with tar -xzvf and then the filename. tar --help or man tar
[03:37] <mrmj> is there a repository i can add to my list that will give me the older graphics card drivers?
[03:37] <Haltemien> utorrent :)
[03:37] <Haltemien> Thanks :)
[03:37] <krieg1> mebigfatguy1: basically, this is new to me, unity, is there anyway i can make this like my old de, nice custom panels, launcher of what i want where i want
[03:37] <MoLoot> Haltemien: ... will give you more info
[03:38] <mrmj> i need an ancient driver..
[03:38] <ubuntunoob> does the sansa fuze plus work on ubuntu?
[03:39] <ubuntunoob> try gnome 3 if you hate unity
[03:39] <ubuntunoob> like i do
[03:39] <Haltemien> OK, Last question :P I got this folder with a program named heimdall in it. It has an exe file. How do i start it?
[03:39] <mebigfatguy1> krieg1: not really, you can hide the unity launcher, and install a 3rdparty docking package, or gnome3
[03:40] <krieg1> ubuntunoob, is that basically logging in no effects?
[03:40] <ubuntunoob> not really its just replacing your de
[03:40] <ubuntunoob> its not like gnome 2
[03:40] <krieg1> oh god
[03:40] <ubuntunoob> but if you wanted gnome 2 you would have to use MATE
[03:41] <krieg1> no i kinda tried that already
[03:41] <mrmj> does anyone know where i can get very old graphics card drivers, i need an ancient one thats not in the repository
[03:41] <ubuntunoob> o
[03:41] <krieg1> wow
[03:42] <ubuntunoob> http://linuxmint.com/rel_lisa_whatsnew.php
[03:42] <robin0800> krieg1: you can drag and drop apps to the launcher
[03:42] <mrmj> unity seems so strange, but im learning to like it
[03:42] <mebigfatguy1> Haltemien: well, you would need to be in windows to launch it (either native or in a vbox).
[03:42] <ubuntunoob> unity sucks and everyone knows it but we have to forcibly use it
[03:42] <krieg1> robin0800, 3rd party software isnt an app though, for instance, CAD, Rockwell
[03:42] <ok_wait> nobody has compositing problems but me?
[03:43] <ubuntunoob> i personally like xfce
[03:43] <ubuntunoob> :D
[03:43] <bazhang> !ot | ubuntunoob
[03:43] <ubuntunoob> shut it ubottu i was just stating an opinion
[03:43] <mrmj> all my videos lag badly, avi streaming or playing a file, youtube lags, but worked fine with ubuntu 6 lol
[03:44] <phenom> What am I missing, does apt-get dist-upgrade not upgrade versions anymore?
[03:44] <bazhang> ubuntunoob, wrong place, wrong attitude. stop it
[03:44] <ubuntunoob> you guys are too strict
[03:44] <bazhang> phenom, it never did
[03:44] <ubuntunoob> on rules
[03:44] <mrmj> i need some ancient drivers for my video card i think, can i add a repository?
[03:44] <bazhang> !dist-upgrade | phenom
[03:44] <phenom> huh?
[03:44] <krieg1> ubuntunoob: basically the same thing, a shell, so no customizing options
[03:44] <krieg1> wow im screwed, distro hunt time
[03:45] <ubuntunoob> linux mint
[03:45] <phenom> I went from Feisty to Hardy etc via dist-upgrade
[03:45] <Tuxiscool> Does anyone here have a version of ubuntu earlier than 11.10?
[03:45] <krieg1> no same thing as this
[03:45] <phenom> didn't I ?
[03:45] <phenom> wtf
[03:45] <Tuxiscool> (Using Unity)
[03:45] <ubuntunoob> try linux mint
[03:45] <phenom> Tuxiscool: I am running 10.04
[03:45] <bazhang> ubuntunoob, stop that
[03:45] <hdon_> hi all :) i am using oneiric, but choosing fluxbox in lightdm has no effect. any help?
[03:45] <krieg1> ubuntunoob,,,, its the same
[03:45] <Tuxiscool> phenom: Running unity too?
[03:45] <ubuntunoob> stop what ?
[03:45] <mrmj> i need nvidia-71 driver and the oldest in my repositories is 96, wtf can i do?
[03:45] <phenom> Tuxiscool: No
[03:45] <iTanner> Hello I am trying to resize my partition (i know, gpsrted isnt ubuntu) but I get "can't have overlapping partitions"
[03:45] <bazhang> ubuntunoob, the offtopic chit chat
[03:46] <ubuntunoob> not if you use the xfce or lxde version
[03:46] <krieg1> same thing, a non customized shell, very very very limited
[03:46] <Tuxiscool> Damn.
[03:46] <phenom> Tuxiscool: I wouldn't ever use Unity
[03:46] <ubuntunoob> oh sorry
[03:46] <krieg1> wow didnt think gnome would get ruined like this
[03:46] <ubuntunoob> = what i thought when unity and gnome 3 came out :P
[03:46] <ubuntunoob> thats why i switched to xfce ;P
[03:46] <krieg1> yeah i have to switch, i cant use this at all
[03:46] <krieg1> this is worthless
[03:47] <mrmj> im going back to ubuntu edgy i guess rofl
[03:47] <Tuxiscool> phenom: That's cool. I'm just curious whether it's doing something silly in the unity version with 11.04 which it is in 11.10.
[03:47] <bastidrazor> Unity was the best thing to happen to gnome.
[03:47] <bazhang> lets get back on support here please
[03:47] <krieg1> well thanks for the help, ill just install debian, old but works
[03:47] <krieg1> laters and thanks
[03:47] <mrmj> i need support
[03:48] <mrmj> :)
[03:48] <zpb0103_> could just use classic instead of unity
[03:48] <bazhang> mrmj, use nvidia-current then
[03:48] <hdon_> Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0". :|
[03:48] <mrmj> i tried that but i dont think it works
[03:49] <mrmj> then tried the nvidia-96 same result
[03:49] <phenom> Am I wrong in thinking dist-upgrade upgrades versions in the past? https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/serverguide/C/installing-upgrading.html
[03:49] <mrmj> says the driver is activated but not currently in use...
[03:49] <bazhang> phenom, could be done that way, but not the recommended way.
[03:50] <phenom> bazhang: ok
[03:50] <bazhang> phenom, you'd need to manually change your sources.list for that to be successful
[03:50] <SwashBuckla> hello. I would like xsnow to run on login. How do I do this?
[03:50] <mrmj> videos play fine in like ubuntu 6 or 8, but lag badly in 11.1 and i think it must be a driver issue
[03:51] <mrmj> or is it the unity desktop?
[03:51] <bazhang> mrmj, try without the 3d effects yet?
[03:51] <SwashBuckla> I think I could get xsnow to run if I launch it from .xinitrc, but I lose launching Unity etc
[03:51] <mrmj> the computer im using is ancient like 900mz 512 ram
[03:52] <mrmj> well i think im on the unity 2d it never had an option for 3d
[03:52] <bazhang> mrmj, I 'd say ram is more of a limiting option
[03:52] <SwashBuckla> p.s., everyone download xsnow
[03:52] <mrmj> is the pc too slow for ubuntu 11.1, is that why my videos lag so bad?
[03:53] <SwashBuckla> mrmj: take a look at the RAM and CPU usage statistics during idle
[03:53] <SwashBuckla> mrmj: i.e., when you're not using the pc
[03:54] <mrmj> isnt there gnome still? would that help?
[03:54] <SwashBuckla> mrmj: yes
[03:54] <mrmj> i need to add it or what?
[03:54] <SwashBuckla> mrmj: no it's in Ubuntu by default. you can enable this at your login screen. Simply click the gear icon, and select Ubuntu 2D
[03:55] <mrmj> on the login screen there was ubuntu and ubuntu 2d i think but they seemed the same
[03:55] <SwashBuckla> mrmj: they are not the same
[03:55] <mrmj> ahhhh
[03:55] <phix> Any reason why I can't add applets / plugins to gnome panel when running in classic mode?  I also can't move or create new panels
[03:55] <SwashBuckla> mrmj: in addition to this, you can also use another Window Manager or Desktop Envionment
[03:55] <mrmj> the 2d should let my slow pc run faster?
[03:56] <SwashBuckla> mrmj: most probably
[03:56] <trism> phix: alt+right click (if this is oneiric)
[03:56] <mrmj> very nice, that might be an issue
[03:56] <robin0800> ! notunity | mrmj
[03:56] <phix> mrmj: Or you can install the xubuntu-desktop, it uses even less resources
[03:56] <SwashBuckla> mrmj: if you are low on resources, Ubuntu 2D uses less resources, leaving more for playing videos and such :)
[03:56] <SwashBuckla> robin0800: thanks :)
[03:56] <phix> trism: :D <3 thnx mate!
[03:56] <mrmj> i was thinking the video card drivers because i didnt see any
[03:56] <SwashBuckla> robin0800: is there a place I can read about all of these !notunity etc things?
[03:57] <mrmj> but in synaptic there were a few installed already
[03:57] <SwashBuckla> (so it saves me duplicating effort)
[03:57] <bazhang> !usage | SwashBuckla
[03:57] <bazhang> whoopsie
[03:57] <Grackle> Is anyone else finding that single clicks are being registered as double clicks?
[03:57] <SwashBuckla> bazhang: wat
[03:57] <bazhang> !factoids | SwashBuckla
[03:57] <bazhang> SwashBuckla, sorry brain cramp
[03:57] <Grackle> I'm wondering if this is a known/recent problem
[03:58] <SwashBuckla> ubottu: thanks :) maybe drink some hot coco to cure the cramp
[03:58] <SwashBuckla> bazhang: ^
[03:58] <SwashBuckla> looks like I have it too
[03:58] <robin0800> SwashBuckla: think there is a guide on omg!ubuntu! its called gnome classic by the way
[03:58] <mebigfatguy1> Grackle: never seen that
[03:58] <dennis_> hi all using oneiric, have radeon module loaded, glxinfo says GLX missing o_O
[03:59] <ok_wait> SwashBuckla, thank you. my problem was i wasn't getting compositing (transparency etc.) because i had gnome classic selected at login
[03:59] <qmanjr5> mebigfatguy1, you said something about Alsamixer, but that's what I'm using now.
[03:59] <SwashBuckla> ok_wait: haha. it's always awesome helping more than one person with some advice :)
[04:00] <ok_wait> lol
[04:00] <phix> trism: ok and how do I move a panel?  I have a dual monitor setup and I want the default monitor not to have the panel on it :)
[04:00] <mebigfatguy1> just saying that my sound shuts off occasionally, and it's because my 'audigy' line turns off for some reason
[04:00] <fbdystang> How do I know what is dishing out port 80 on my server? is there a command to see what program "owns" it?
[04:00] <mebigfatguy1> so i just have to turn it back on
[04:00] <phix> trism: but I want newly launched apps to be displayed on the default monitor
[04:00] <robin0800> ok_wait: you can hack classic to run compiz see the guides
[04:00] <phix> trism: ok nm, I figured it out :)
[04:01] <phix> trism: ALT+Left click drag :)
[04:01] <qmanjr5> My sound isn't working right now. But it was working yesterday. Also, if I go to the login screen, my headphones will work. :\ Just not on my account. It's not muted
[04:02] <SwashBuckla> bazhang: I think the !factoids DB link should be on IRC Guidelines:  http://goo.gl/cEF1w
[04:02] <mebigfatguy1> fbdystang: sudo netstat -lptu
[04:02] <SwashBuckla> (linked to in topic)
[04:02] <fbdystang> mebigfatguy1: thanks!
[04:02] <stjohnmedrano> good day all, ive been lost track of ubuntu, but im still using it, where can i download the latest one? the alpha release? thanks all sorry for such a noob. thanks guys
[04:04] <urlin2u> stjohnmedrano, ubuntu.com
[04:04] <libryder> any ideas on how to kill a process started as root from apache?
[04:05] <SwashBuckla> what's the set of processes that gets spawned on the vanilla Unity desktop? I need to know so I can add them to .xinitrc to append some custom commands (like launching xsnow)
[04:05] <Grackle> libryder: CGI script? Sounds like a poorly designed system though.
[04:05] <mebigfatguy1> libryder: sudo kill doesn't work?
[04:05] <SwashBuckla> careful throwing advice like sudo around
[04:06] <SwashBuckla> so many people I know sudo everything
[04:06] <fbdystang> mebigfatguy1: it doesn't look like that gives port numbers
[04:06] <libryder> i'm trying to create an internal webgui that can restart init processes, specifically aseterisk
[04:08] <mebigfatguy1> fbdystang: i see ports... .   you can also use                sudo lsof -i
[04:08] <dennis_> hi all :) i had an NVidia card but switched to ATI because of their openness. now though i have no glx. Xorg log says "Module glx: vendor="NVIDIA Corporation" so i think maybe i need to uninstall this an install another?
[04:09] <dennis_> but dpkg -S does not tell me what package it came from :(
[04:09] <SwashBuckla> kill -9 NO MORE CPU TIME! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fow7iUaKrq4
[04:09] <libryder> SwashBuckla: that video is hilarious
[04:09] <robin0800> stjohnmedrano: see the topic at #ubuntu+1
[04:09] <libryder> any better ideas on managing a process run as root that needs to be restarted from a webgui?
[04:10] <dennis_> SwashBuckla, lol
[04:10] <fbdystang> mebigfatguy1: it looks like it only has Command/pid/user/fd/type/device/size-off/node/name. no ports?
[04:11] <SwashBuckla> I am so jealous of that man
[04:12] <libryder> this looks promising http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5866632/execute-a-sudo-command-in-ruby-on-rails-app
[04:12] <phix> LjL: Hey, how have you been buddy?
[04:12] <mebigfatguy1> fbdystang: isn't there a port in the name field?
[04:13] <nick22> what control the display in linux ?
[04:15] <fbdystang> mebigfatguy1: OK, yea but they are way bigger than what I expect. Like I can't find 8081
[04:15] <fbdystang> yet I can see it from the web
[04:15] <mebigfatguy1> fbdystang: 'non-normal' big port numbers are usually outgoing ports
[04:16] <fbdystang> hmm. there has to be a command to see the 'normal' ports
[04:17] <venomcode> evga graphics card, will ubuntu support it
[04:17] <SwashBuckla> hello. I would like xsnow to run on login. How do I do this?
[04:17] <venomcode> swash do you smoke
[04:19] <SwashBuckla> I think I could get xsnow to run if I launch it from .xinitrc, but I lose launching Unity etc
[04:20] <nick22> how to show the xorg display configure in the terminal ?
[04:20] <venomcode> swash do you smoke
[04:20] <bazhang> !ot | venomcode
[04:20] <ang> hi. i'm running ubuntu 11.04 ... I recently installed a second NIC and it appears that my udev rules to always name this NIX as eth1 are sometimes ignored (sometimes it shows up as eth0 despite the rule). Any ideas?
[04:20] <dennis_> apt-get update gives me BADKEY. did apt-key install. no change. now what?
[04:21] <dennis_> only have official apt sources
[04:21] <dennis_> for oneiric
[04:21] <dennis_> W: GPG error: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com oneiric Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key <ftpmaster@ubuntu.com>
[04:22] <SunTsu> SwashBuckla: just curious, tried running "xsnow &"?
[04:22] <SwashBuckla> SunTsu: yes.
[04:22] <SwashBuckla> SunTsu: it works! but that wasn't my question
[04:22] <venomcode> who codes in c# in here
[04:23] <aeon-ltd> venomcode: a lot of people in ##csharp do
[04:23] <SunTsu> SwashBuckla: then I don't understand your question. Run "xsnow &" from .xinitrc and everything should be fine
[04:23] <bazhang> venomcode, ubuntu support only here; chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:23] <venomcode> thing is, monodev isnt as robust as visual studio
[04:23] <venomcode> which sucks
[04:24] <venomcode> well can you install sharpdevelop on UBUNTU
[04:24] <bazhang> venomcode, that does NOT make this the chat channel
[04:24] <SwashBuckla> SunTsu: 1) Ubuntu only loads .xinitrc if you select Custom Desktop Configuration from the login screen 2) Even if you do 1., you lose Unity just by launching xsnow &
[04:25] <dennis_> SwashBuckla, "even if you do, you lose unity." you make that sound like a bad thing
[04:25] <SwashBuckla> dennis_: keep your opinions to yourself.
[04:25] <SwashBuckla> dennis_: this setup is for my mum
[04:26] <SwashBuckla> I personally run DWM
[04:26] <dennis_> haha... that's what i'm doing too
[04:26] <nick22> where to check which driver is installed for my display card?
[04:26] <dennis_> my mom couldn't figure out unity
[04:26] <nick22> i don't like unity to
[04:26] <SwashBuckla> My  mum can, so I'm sticking with whatever she's cool with. Wanted to add xsnow as a nice feature :)
[04:27] <dennis_> nick22, you can use lsmod|grep -iE '(nv)|(radeon)' probably will do it
[04:27] <dennis_> SwashBuckla, compiz config settings manager might have a similar effect in the configs
[04:28] <theos> hi. i have a usb webcam. it is detected as "ID 0ac8:3340 Z-Star Microelectronics Corp.". the problem is that i cant get it to work. cheese shows a black screen. i am using ubuntu lucid. please help.
[04:28] <ahoneybun> theos, run "cheese" in terminal and see the output
[04:28] <SunTsu> SwashBuckla: I don't run unity, but isn't there some session/autostart system where you could add xsnow?
[04:29] <dennis_> theos, dunno nothing about cheese but if you have gstreamer installed you can try some gstreamer pipelines like "gst-launch v4l2src ! ffmpegcolorspace ! xvimagesink"
[04:29] <theos> ahoneybun, good idea. just a minute :)
[04:29] <mebigfatguy1> SunTsu; yes
[04:29] <dennis_> theos, or "gst-launch v4lsrc ! ffmpegcolorspace ! xvimagesink"
[04:29] <dennis_> theos, cheese is probably based on gstreamer so getting closer to the wire might be a useful diagnostic step
[04:30] <dennis_> even if it isn't, it would be useful to see if gstreamer can do it with the most basic pipeline
[04:30] <dio525i> i'm trying to launch gui apps remotely from an ssh tunnel ... server is lubuntu client is ubuntu... does anyone know what i need to do to allow remotely launching gui apps from lubuntu?
[04:30] <edbian> Hello
[04:30] <edbian> ?
[04:30] <theos> ahoneybun, no output in terminal when running cheese with the webcam
[04:30] <dennis_> dio525i, hello in canada :) at the very least you'll need all the x libs. have you used apt to install an X program?
[04:31] <mebigfatguy1> edbian: greetings
[04:31] <dennis_> dio525i, have you done this before?
[04:31] <edbian> :)
[04:31] <dennis_> s/edbian/debian
[04:31] <edbian> s/dennis_/dennis
[04:31] <dennis_> also
[04:31] <dennis_> s/ubuntu/debian
[04:31] <dennis_> edbian, nick taken
[04:31] <ahoneybun> theos, no errors?
[04:31] <dio525i> dennis, i've never done it before ...
[04:31] <SunTsu> dio525i: you should not need anything special to do so, just allow XForwarding and you are ready to go
[04:31] <edbian> :P
[04:32] <theos> dennis_, "gst-launch v4l2src ! ffmpegcolorspace ! xvimagesink" command uses my inbuilt cam. not the usb cam :D
[04:32] <dennis_> dio525i, you'll need -X or -Y to enable X11 forwarding in ssh
[04:32] <theos> ahoneybun, no output at all.
[04:32] <dennis_> theos, ah, you'll need to set the right v4l2src option
[04:32] <ahoneybun> theos, weird I get errors about gtk-warnings lol
[04:32] <theos> oh
[04:33] <dio525i> the command that i used "ssh -C -X user@my.se.rv.er gnome-terminal"
[04:33] <dennis_> theos, i don't have it installed on this system though so i can't check what the name of the option is for you. it's probably device= and either a numeric index or a /dev path
[04:33] <ahoneybun> theos, does the inbuilt cam work?
[04:33] <dio525i> SunTsu, where do i allow Xforwarding in lubuntu?
[04:33] <theos> ahoneybun, yes it works fine with every software
[04:34] <edbian> dio525i, sometimes it takes a long time to get the gui on the client, especially over the internet
[04:34] <dennis_> dio525i, /etc/openssh/sshd.something
[04:34] <dennis_> dio525i, or ssh_server.something
[04:34] <edbian> dio525i, It appears to be not working (with no errors) but if you give it like 2 minutes it will work
[04:34] <ahoneybun> theos, cheese works very well for me, inbuilt on my netbook and this usb cam on the desktop
[04:34] <dennis_> dio525i, /etc/ssh/sshd_config on ubuntu it appears
[04:34] <SunTsu> dio525i: or ~/.ssh/config
[04:35] <theos> ahoneybun, cheese doesnt give any error for the usb cam. it just doesnt show any image. just a black screen
[04:35] <edbian> theos, take the lens cap off
[04:35] <dio525i> dennis/SunTsu/edbian ... will try those locations ...will report back in a few...thank you very much
[04:35] <theos> edbian, i did. then? :D
[04:35] <mebigfatguy1> ed:)
[04:35] <edbian> dio525i, sure
[04:35] <edbian> theos, no errors?  I'm not really sure
[04:36] <ahoneybun> theos, "gksu cheese"
[04:36] <edbian> theos, try running cheese as root
[04:36] <SunTsu> dio525i: -X should be sufficient, but you need to conform to secure XForwarding. Try -Y instead just to be sure
[04:36] <theos> ahoneybun, edbian, i did. no errors
[04:36] <ahoneybun> theos, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1463733
[04:36] <theos> no output even
[04:37] <edbian> theos, I'm not sure
[04:37] <SwashBuckla> SunTsu: yeah that's what I want
[04:37] <venomcode> anyone get Bluray playback working ?
[04:37] <borillion> my desktop crashes when I try to run things like Calibre, Virtualbox anyone know whats going on with qt and nvidia
[04:38] <borillion> I mean crashes all the way back to login screen
[04:38] <theos> ahoneybun, i need zc3340 drivers i guess :S
[04:39] <venomcode> borillion
[04:39] <venomcode> what does your name mean
[04:39] <borillion> nothing really just sounds cool
[04:39] <ahoneybun> theos, maybe should look at that then
[04:40] <venomcode> yea kinda does
[04:40] <venomcode> heh
[04:40] <SunTsu> venomcode: please, go to #ubuntu-offtopic  for chit-chat
[04:40] <ahoneybun> would it be bad if I asked what music player people liked?
[04:40] <ahoneybun> guess so
[04:41] <borillion> dang this really sucks. how can I get a debug of a crash like this?
[04:41] <venomcode> suntsu, you no nothing of the art of war
[04:41] <edbian> ahoneybun, I like banshee, there is some package that gives statistics on this stuff though
[04:41] <venomcode> why you sweating me
[04:41] <edbian> borillion, the crash you're experiencing is 'x crashing' the gui server
[04:41] <edbian> borillion, try looking at the output on tty1 of in the bottom of dmesg
[04:41] <borillion> edbian, thanks kk
[04:42] <SunTsu> venomcode: at least I don't read you anymore
[04:42] <edbian> borillion, sure
[04:42] <ahoneybun> edbian, LifeHacker voted it as the best overall linux music player
[04:42] <mah454> Hello
[04:42] <edbian> ahoneybun, good for banshee :)
[04:42] <edbian> mah454, hi

[04:42] <mah454> how can fix this ?
[04:42] <venomcode> mah try terminal
[04:42] <edbian> mah454, try using the xrandr command
[04:43] <mah454> edbian, how can use this command ?
[04:43] <edbian> mah454, I don't remember, look at the man page silly
[04:43] <venomcode> you cant ask that question according to suntsu
[04:43] <edbian> cant' ask what?
[04:47] <OerHeks> venomcode, here are 2 pages about BR, you need to stream the movie to watch unencrypted >> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/BluRayAndHDDVD http://themediaviking.com/2010/bluray-linux/

[04:51] <mah454> edbian, Inter Corporation
[04:51] <borillion_> is there a way I can start x from a remote ssh maybe I can see something that way
[04:52] <edbian> mah454, sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel  then restart and see if you can set your resolution
[04:52] <mah454> edbian, I installed this package ...
[04:53] <edbian> borillion_, ssh -X user@server   then just run the gui command and it will run in gui locally (and give errors if things crash
[04:53] <edbian> mah454, already?  did you restart?
[04:53] <mah454> edbian, yes
[04:53] <arunce> ssh -XC for compression
[04:54] <CoJaBo> Is it posssible to dump the complete memory of an already running process?
[04:54] <venomcode> yes
[04:54] <edbian> mah454, Mmm, I'm not sure then.   Maybe the open source driver just doesn't work that well that
[04:54] <fbdystang>  Can someone help with this: pastebin.com/N2yXr0Zc thanks
[04:54] <mah454> ok thank you :)
[04:54] <edbian> CoJaBo, umm, probably using gdb but don't ask me how
[04:55] <CoJaBo> Yeh, thats the problem I'm having
[04:55] <borillion__> edbian, nothing in dmesg pertaining to crash
[04:56] <edbian> borillion_, sorry :(  there is an x log (/var/log/X ...)
[04:56] <theos> ahoneypot, music player: i like rhythmbox for online radios and gnome-media player for movies:)
[04:57] <almoxarife> fbdystang: you placed a "#" prior to the "(" on line 17
[04:57] <borillion__> edbian, Xorg log?
[04:58] <edbian> borillion__, yeah... can you find it?
[04:58] <mrmj> can i add older repositories?
[04:58] <almoxarife> fbdystang: remove the "#" from line 17
[04:58] <fbdystang> almoxarife: but I also have a # on line 12
[04:58] <fbdystang> to start the paren
[05:00] <fbdystang> almoxarife: doesnt that still work or am I wrong?
[05:00] <borillion__> edbian, nothing seems useful http://pastebin.com/H2ZfighN
[05:00] <oneliner> is there any problem trying to install ubuntu on a 2tb drive that i should be aware of?
[05:00] <mrmj> will the things in the older repositories work with ubuntu 11.1?
[05:00] <borillion__> maybe something I dont see
[05:00] <almoxarife> fbdystang: my bad, the whole thing is remarked out, and I was looking at the wrong line
[05:01] <nprezident> hello people, i have a bunch of files that has %20 in the file name (4ex. file%20file.mp3) where ever there is a space in the file %20 is there a way where i can change the name of multiple files deleting the %20 ?
[05:01] <fbdystang> almoxarife: Yea, that's what I thought too. but why the error?
[05:02] <almoxarife> fbdystang: what is the chr$ at pos17 of line 46?
[05:02] <SunTsu> fbdystang: maybe you have some invisible char somewhere, try writing it anew
[05:02] <fbdystang> OK, i'll just type it an try
[05:03] <borillion__> edbian, nothing seems useful http://pastebin.com/H2ZfighN
[05:03] <borillion__> maybe something I dont see
[05:03] <nprezident> anybody ?
[05:03] <mrmj> does anyone know if i can add the old repositories and files to ubuntu 11.1?
[05:04] <mrmj> i need an ancient driver
[05:04] <mrmj> :P
[05:05] <borillion__> is this it [ 17148.126] 9: /usr/bin/X (0x400000+0x235ed) [0x4235ed]

[05:06] <Cyber_HC> ctcp donk
[05:07] <mrmj> anyone know of a repository i can add to ubuntu 11.1 to get ancient nvidia drivers?
[05:07] <mrmj> lol
[05:08] <CoJaBo> How would one get a memory dump during normal debugging? Isn't this a normal procedure??
[05:08] <mrmj> i need nvidia-71 or legacy drivers,, the oldest in 11.1 is nvidia-96 :(
[05:09] <robin0800> mrmj: can you get it from nvidia's site?
[05:10] <mrmj> i can but i read on the ubuntu wiki site and forums that its not good or doesnt work by downloading them
[05:10] <mrmj> not sure if thats true..
[05:11] <w30> mrmj, if all you need is one driver go to the package site and get the deb then use dpkg to install it.
[05:12] <mrmj> i dont think i was able to find a deb file
[05:12] <w30> mrmj, http:packages.com
[05:13] <w30> mrmj, http:packages.ubuntu.com correction on that
[05:14] <w30> mrmj, what was the last version you had it on?
[05:14] <mrmj> well i was able to play videos fine with the same old computer using ubuntu 6
[05:15] <mrmj> but i put in a bigger hard drive and newer version of ubuntu, videos lag really bad
[05:15] <mrmj> streaming or just playing a file
[05:15] <w30> mrmj, jeezzz, way back eh?
[05:16] <mrmj> its a dinosaur
[05:16] <mrmj> :)
[05:16] <mrmj> 900mz 512 ram i think
[05:16] <mrmj> lol
[05:16] <w30> mrmj, what Nvidia card is it?
[05:16] <mrmj> but it worked fine for surfing the net or just playing videos
[05:17] <mrmj> its like nvidia riva tnt 2
[05:17] <mrmj> very old
[05:17] <mrmj> cant i just add older repositories to 11.1?
[05:18] <w30> mrmj, you would mess up everything related to updates and dependencies
[05:19] <mrmj> ahhh
[05:19] <mrmj> where would drivers be on the packages page?
[05:19] <dio525i> OKAY!!! i figured it out... it was xwrapper.config ... i needed to change "allowed_users" value to "anybody"...thanks all!!
[05:22] <w30> mrmj, install your own nvidia driver.  http://tips-linux.net/en/linux-ubuntu/linux-driver/nvidia-driver-32-bits-part-1
[05:24] <mrmj> i have to download it?
[05:26] <w30> mrmj, follow the url directions: yes you have to download the driver plus linux module headers fro the repos you have.
[05:26] <w30> fro/from
[05:30] <mrmj> i download it manually from there?
[05:33] <mrmj> or do i just put that in the terminal?
[05:35] <w30> mrmj, download the driver from there, yes
[05:36] <w30> mrmj, it's a program from Nvidia that makes and installs, configures a driver for you.
[05:36] <mrmj> oh nice
[05:36] <mrmj> theres several parts?
[05:37] <w30> mrmj, I beleive the program runs and needs an internet connection to get the driver from Nvidia.com or whereever.
[05:38] <mrmj> i go through the part 1,2,3,4?
[05:39] <w30> mrmj, and also it compiles the drive module but it needs linux module headers or linux kernel source. It's simpler to just get the header files unless you are going to be compiling kernels.
[05:40] <w30> mrmj, kernel headers have to be installed before the Nvidia install.sh can run.
[05:41] <mrmj> i tried installing nvidia drivers in the synaptic but they didnt work, should i remove those?
[05:42] <kamelot314> mrmj: fresh install?
[05:44] <mrmj> yes but i tried adding nvidia drivers that were in the synaptic manager and they didnt work, im thinking i should remove that first
[05:45] <kamelot314> If its a fresh install, you need to install : binutils, make, gcc4.6 (if i remeber) and the lastest linux-header-kernel and after restart the computer in command line and type : sudo sh ./nvidia-(the version).run
[05:45] <abstrakt> mrmj, you should use jockey
[05:45] <abstrakt> mrmj, not synaptic
[05:45] <mrmj> oh do i have that lol
[05:46] <abstrakt> mrmj, Applications -> Settings -> Additional Drivers
[05:46] <abstrakt> that's jockey
[05:46] <mrmj> or can i remove it in the terminal?
[05:46] <abstrakt> kamelot314, that's a really bad idea honestly
[05:47] <abstrakt> jockey was put there for a reason, you can and will totally screw your system unrecoverably if you try to install nvidia drivers without using jockey
[05:47] <abstrakt> I have done it more than once
[05:47] <kamelot314> abstrakt why?
[05:47] <kamelot314> oh ok i see
[05:47] <kamelot314> ;)
[05:47] <kamelot314> i din't think about jockey ;)
[05:47] <mrmj> to remove though?
[05:48] <mrmj> is synaptic ok?
[05:48] <abstrakt> mrmj, well I have no idea what you did
[05:48] <mrmj> remove a driver thats not working lol
[05:48] <abstrakt> mrmj, so you're kind of on your own with that
[05:48] <kamelot314> mrmj: why the driver is not working?
[05:48] <abstrakt> mrmj, no I understand that part
[05:48] <WhyDroid> hey guys i installed ubuntu on my android phone
[05:48] <WhyDroid> its running great
[05:48] <mrmj> i installed ubuntu and tried to add a driver in synaptic, but it doesnt work
[05:49] <WhyDroid> i can now download irc porn
[05:49] <WhyDroid> because native android irc clients dont support dcc!
[05:49] <aeon-ltd> ...
[05:49] <WhyDroid> thats the whole reason i installed it =)
[05:49] <WhyDroid> i went through the trouble of making a chroot img lol
[05:49] <kamelot314> mrmj: ok but when you do a fresh install, the first thing ubuntu ask you is to "active" the nvidia driver with jockey
[05:49] <abstrakt> WhyDroid, and we care, why... exactly?
[05:49] <aeon-ltd> WhyDroid: tell the guys in !ot about this, not here
[05:50] <mrmj> it didnt ask that
[05:50] <WhyDroid> i thought it would get u guys excited
[05:50] <WhyDroid> and u would be like omfgzorrr
[05:50] <WhyDroid> u are the l33tz0r
[05:50] <WhyDroid> ubuntu and android together 4ever
[05:50] <WhyDroid> and then we break into a musical number
[05:51] <WhyDroid> oh shit gotta go my battery is low
[05:51] <WhyDroid> rock on doodz!
[05:51] <mrmj> :)
[05:51] <aeon-ltd> that was fun.
[05:51] <kamelot314> mrmj: When you open Jockey, what he said? Should have Nvidai Accelerated Graphic installed (recommended)
[05:52] <kamelot314> btw all, sorry for bad english
[05:54] <mrmj> how do i get to applications, i see system settings and then under hardware the drivers
[05:54] <mrmj> when i search it shows the driver i tried to install and says this driver is active but not in use
[05:55] <abstrakt> mrmj, are you using GNOME 3?
[05:55] <mrmj> u pointed me to the right driver i need but just need to know if i should remove that one
[05:55] <mrmj> its the 2d unity one
[05:56] <abstrakt> mrmj, ok, top left of your screen
[05:56] <abstrakt> mrmist, the square ubuntu icon
[05:56] <abstrakt> fucking mrmist... change ur nick!
[05:57] <abstrakt> mrmj, anyway, click the square ubuntu icon and then search for "Additional Drivers"
[05:57] <mrmj> the dash?
[05:57] <abstrakt> i don't remember what it's called
[05:57] <abstrakt> I don't use Unity
[05:57] <kamelot314> mrmj: i don't know much Gnome3 now since i'm still using xfce
[05:57] <abstrakt> (barf)
[05:57] <Trigun191> Anyone know how I can speed up ubuntu on virtual machine?
[05:57] <kamelot314> the button its call "Root" loll
[05:57] <abstrakt> XFCE ftw
[05:57] <abstrakt> Trigun191, buy a faster computer with more cores and more RAM
[05:58] <mrmj> yeah ive tried that
[05:58] <abstrakt> Trigun191, enable VT-x if you can
[05:58] <mrmj> it shows the driver i tried to install..
[05:58] <mrmj> says this driver is activated but not in use
[05:58] <Trigun191> where do I find that Abstrakt
[05:59] <abstrakt> Trigun191, in the VM settings
[05:59] <abstrakt> somewhere, I don't remember, I'm pretty sure it's under "system"
[05:59] <kamelot314> mrmj: you should see 2 options for graphic card!
[05:59] <abstrakt> more than that actually
[06:00] <abstrakt> I've got like 4 options in mine
[06:00] <mrmj> theres only remove
[06:00] <Trigun191> would it have anything to do with the settings i set it at when i installed ubuntu
[06:00] <kamelot314> lol
[06:00] <w30> Trigun191, yeah,edit /proc/cpuinfo line 4 to read:  model name	: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600K CPU @ 3.40GHz
[06:01] <Trigun191> I am so new to this when I see these lines are these commands I need to enter or this under the vm?
[06:02] <kamelot314> mrmj: if i was you, i would probably install the one from the nvidia website, but like abstrak say you can f*ck up your system badly
[06:02] <abstrakt> Trigun191, umm... don't listen to w30, unless I missed a large part of the conversation
[06:02] <Trigun191> lol
[06:02] <mrmj> remove with the jockey thing rather than synaptic?
[06:02] <truefx> system sound is incredible low why ? ubuntu 11.10 i can hardly hear sound on  logitec z 5500 500w hoparlor
[06:02] <mrmj> the driver i tried to use?
[06:02] <abstrakt> mrmj, so deactivate the driver
[06:03] <w30> abstrakt, sorry, poor joke
[06:03] <abstrakt> mrmj, then remove from synaptic
[06:03] <abstrakt> w30, oh, hehe, ok I get it now :)
[06:03] <abstrakt> Trigun191, there's really nothing you can do except buy a more expensive computer
[06:04] <Trigun191> so the way ubuntu is installed has nothing to do with it?
[06:04] <abstrakt> Trigun191, more cores help a lot with virtualization
[06:04] <abstrakt> Trigun191, what OS are you virtualizing? i.e. what is your "guest" OS
[06:04] <abstrakt> Trigun191, correct
[06:04] <tbruff13> Trigun191: what are you trying to do
[06:04] <w30> abstrakt, I got my Christmas present early, heh heh
[06:04] <Trigun191> linux oracle vm virtualbox
[06:04] <mrmj> oh i got an error when trying to remove it
[06:04] <mrmj> lol
[06:05] <tbruff13> Trigun191: ok what is the problem
[06:05] <kamelot314> mrmj: what is ?
[06:05] <abstrakt> Trigun191, umm... that doesn't make sense really
[06:05] <tbruff13> Trigun191: are you talking solars
[06:05] <Trigun191> its so slow sometimes running ubuntu
[06:05] <abstrakt> Trigun191, what is your guest OS
[06:05] <tbruff13> Trigun191: ok well what desktop environment are you running on your main os
[06:05] <Trigun191> im guessing that would be ubuntu?
[06:05] <abstrakt> Trigun191, do you know the difference between guest and host OS?
[06:06] <tbruff13> Trigun191: why are you guessing
[06:06] <tbruff13> are you running ubuntu 11.10
[06:06] <Trigun191> nope, Ive never used this before i am using vm virtual box
[06:06] <Trigun191> with ubuntu
[06:06] <Trigun191> and yes 11.10
[06:06] <kamelot314> and you try to run which OS on Virtual Box?
[06:06] <tbruff13> Trigun191: ok so now that we know what os you are running
[06:06] <abstrakt> Trigun191, "your" computer is the host... the thing you run INSIDE virtualbox is the "guest"
[06:07] <tbruff13> kamelot314: solars
[06:07] <tbruff13> I think
[06:07] <Trigun191> ok
[06:07] <abstrakt> Trigun191, so what is your guest OS
[06:07] <tbruff13> abstrakt: it is solars
[06:07] <Trigun191> ubuntu
[06:07] <tbruff13> Trigun191: your guest os is the os you are trying to run in the virtualbox
[06:07] <kamelot314> tbruff13 ; what is the issue now
[06:07] <abstrakt> tbruff13, let him answer, please
[06:07] <tbruff13> your host os is the os that your computer is running
[06:08] <tbruff13> sorry abstrakt
[06:08] <abstrakt> which is what I *just* said
[06:08] <abstrakt> sigh
[06:08] <Trigun191> lol ok so is linux the host and then its running ubuntu or is just ubuntu that is the guess os
[06:08] <Trigun191> i said that all wrong
[06:08] <kamelot314> yes you did
[06:08] <abstrakt> Trigun191, dude... you don't even understand what virtualbox does if you can't answer this question
[06:08] <abstrakt> Trigun191, we can't put it ANY more simply than we just did
[06:08] <tbruff13> Trigun191: that is what we are asking you when you start your computer what word pops up on the screen is it ubuntu
[06:09] <tbruff13> if it is your host os is ubuntu
[06:09] <Trigun191> yes, it is ubuntu
[06:09] <abstrakt> tbruff13, it doesn't matter he's just complaining because it's slow
[06:09] <tbruff13> Trigun191: then your host os is ubuntu
[06:09] <abstrakt> and there's only one solution
[06:09] <abstrakt> buy a faster computer
[06:09] <kamelot314> Trigun191: The host is Ubuntu and the guest Solars on VM BOX
[06:09] <tbruff13> ok Trigun191 can you tell me exactly the issue you are having
[06:10] <kamelot314> so now tell us the issue lol
[06:10] <abstrakt> really? Solars? not Solaris?
[06:10] <kamelot314> abstrakt: yep Solars ;)
[06:10] <Trigun191> lol, it runs fast one second then slow the next especially on the firefox, im just doing this alter a rom
[06:10] <abstrakt> he already told us
[06:10] <abstrakt> it's slow
[06:10] <abstrakt> kamelot314, link?
[06:10] <Trigun191> to*
[06:10] <tbruff13> ok Trigun191 i will try and help you here
[06:11] <abstrakt> i don't get any useful results on google
[06:11] <tbruff13> abstrakt: ive got him in a dialog
[06:11] <kamelot314> abstrakt: my mistake duh! Solaris
[06:11] <kamelot314> i wrote Solars on google and see some anwser but din't check for correct spell
[06:12] <abstrakt> I don't even know why someone who doesn't know jack would even be trying to run Solaris in the first place
[06:12] <abstrakt> that just doesn't add up
[06:12] <tbruff13> abstrakt: try to be nice everyone is new at one point
[06:13] <kamelot314> Just a good question Trigun191: What are you planning to do with a Virtual Machine with Solaris?
[06:13] <mrmj> ok that worked do i have to restart to remove it totally or no?
[06:14] <kamelot314> mrmj: what do you did?
[06:14] <abstrakt> kamelot314, no point, he's talking privately now
[06:14] <abstrakt> and he doesn't even know what he's doing
[06:14] <abstrakt> i doubt he even knows what solaris is
[06:14] <mrmj> removed the driver that wasnt working
[06:14] <abstrakt> mrmj, with the nvidia drivers, yes restart
[06:15] <mrmj> thanks alot for the help, ill report back later if it didnt work :)
[06:15] <Trigun191> run android kitchen kamelot
[06:15] <kamelot314> abstrakt: Just tell him to start to learn the basic first ! ;)
[06:21] <quietone> I receive notifications for a page at wiki.ubuntu.com which I am no longer subscribed to. How do I stop it?
[06:22] <lefty_> is there a way i can expand ubuntu parition while i am in it?
[06:23] <Shirakawasuna> is there a way to increase the apparent volume past max? I'm running netflix in virtualbox and it's super quiet, even with all available controls maxed out
[06:23] <urlin2u> lefty_, no
[06:23] <Shirakawasuna> e.g. something that screws with the gain or pulseaudio's input/output
[06:26] <mrmj> i dont quite get this....
[06:26] <mrmj> Discover your kernel version
[06:26] <mrmj> # uname -r
[06:26] <mrmj> 2.6.26-1-686   // the result
[06:27] <Medjai> ok
[06:27] <Medjai> what's not to get
[06:27] <mrmj> i type uname -r and get...
[06:27] <mrmj> 3.0.0-14-generic
[06:28] <kamelot314> that the latest one
[06:28]  * mebigfatguy1 wishes he could use 3.0
[06:28] <mrmj> then what am i suppose to type
[06:28] <mrmj> 2.6.26-1-686   // the result  ?
[06:29] <miadbahrami> my os is ubuntu 11.10 and not install & active my nvidia Graphic card
[06:29] <mrmj> do i need the  //?
[06:29] <miadbahrami> ?
[06:29] <mrmj> same issue here
[06:29] <mrmj> working on that lol
[06:29] <miadbahrami> help me for install nvidia graphic card in laptop Dell n5110 and active it
[06:29] <kamelot314> mrmj: sudo apt-get update
[06:29] <kamelot314> and then : sudo apt-get upgrade
[06:30] <mrmj> oh ill try it
[06:30] <mebigfatguy1> mrmj: backup /home/mrmj first
[06:30] <mrmj> theres no files or anything on it
[06:31] <mebigfatguy1> well then you are done!
[06:31] <mrmj> :)
[06:31] <mrmj> oh its doing alot lol
[06:31] <kamelot314> sudo apt-get update -> update de software sources and apt-get upgrade -> upgrade the system software when there now realease available
[06:32] <mrmj> none upgraded
[06:32] <kamelot314> and when there nothinh available , its mean your compter is up to date
[06:32] <mrmj> all good i guess
[06:32] <mrmj> :)
[06:33] <kamelot314> now good things to when you got the acceleration is to use compiz!:)
[06:33] <mrmj> http://tips-linux.net/en/linux-ubuntu/linux-driver/nvidia-driver-32-bits-part-1
[06:33] <mrmj> thats the driver i need and downloaded but i dont quite understand what to put into the terminal
[06:34] <kamelot314> oh ok now i see :) tanks for the link lol
[06:34] <theadmin> mrmj: Meh, you shouldn't download the drivers from NVidia... Type "Hardware drivers" into the search, it will install the drivers you need for you
[06:34] <kamelot314> mrmj; what is the architecture of yout PC?
[06:34] <kamelot314> 32bits or 64?
[06:34] <mrmj> its a dinosaur
[06:35] <mrmj> which search?
[06:35] <kamelot314> so ok 32bits :)
[06:35] <mrmj> yeah
[06:35] <kamelot314> how many ram you have?
[06:35] <mrmj> its like 900mz, 512 ram and ancient graphics card
[06:35] <kamelot314> *memory
[06:35] <kamelot314> ok.. first, i would sugest you to use Xubuntu (XFCE) instedd of Ubuntu (Gnome)
[06:36] <mrmj> really?
[06:36] <rigved> Lubuntu would be a better fit...more lighter
[06:36] <kamelot314> hold on a sec
[06:37] <mrmj> hardware drivers in the search?
[06:37] <theadmin> mrmj: Which Ubuntu version are you running?
[06:37] <mrmj> 11.1
[06:38] <theadmin> mrmj: Well, hit the Windows key and type in "Hardware Drivers", it should find it
[06:38] <kam314> mrmj: In private
[06:43] <abstrakt> mrmj, yeah XFCE is much faster
[06:45] <OmYamin> hello
[06:46] <nimbiotics> Is there any software similar to MS Access, other than kexi? TIA!
[06:47] <abstrakt> nimbiotics, OO.org has a database
[06:47] <abstrakt> sorry, "libre office" now I think is what it's called
[06:48] <nimbiotics> abstrakt: yes, but i've found it very unstable I've lost a good deal of work withy it
[06:48] <abstrakt> nimbiotics, so use a real database like Postgres
[06:49] <abstrakt> i don't even understand how MS Access is useful to anyone
[06:49] <abstrakt> or the spinoff inside of openoffice
[06:49] <w30> abstrakt, Xfce4 for me for sure, Good as Gnome after a few tweaks *smile*
[06:50] <abstrakt> w30, better actually
[06:50] <abstrakt> XFCE got so many things right that GNOME got wrong
[06:50] <nimbiotics> abstrakt: i have np w/that but ooBase's own db manager is clumsy and I keep losing objects such as queries, forms and the such
[06:50] <abstrakt> at least by now anyway... XFCE wasn't very good not too long ago
[06:50] <abstrakt> but it's finally matured in to a viable alternative
[06:51] <abstrakt> nimbiotics, right, soo.. use a real DB? like postgres
[06:51] <abstrakt> or you could get blasphemous and go with MySQL
[06:52] <abstrakt> nimbiotics, actually, heck, SQLite would probably be the better alternative given that it's file based like Access
[06:52] <w30> abstrakt, true, gnome2 was getting heavy but no reason to switch until the ipad envy took over.
[06:52] <abstrakt> wait, what does GNOME have to do with iPad?
[06:53] <w30> abstrakt, Gnome3 trying to take the worst of iOSX for an interface, like Unity.
[06:54] <nimbiotics> abstrakt: I really dnt need too much power, SQLite should be enopugh and I've doen a good dela of work w/it. What I need is a fast mean for creatina a front end. I've tried ooBase and kexi but they are both very unstable
[06:55] <makara> hi. someone helped me yesterday to bypass the GUI and setup static a IP connection, but the DNS settings in /etc/resolv.conf are reset on reboot. How to make permanent?
[06:55] <abstrakt> nimbiotics, ruby on rails perhaps?
[06:55] <w30> abstrakt, that jet engine noise you hear is Unity and Gnome3 sucking.
[06:55] <abstrakt> w30, lol
[06:56] <abstrakt> nimbiotics, https://github.com/sferik/rails_admin
[06:56] <almoxarife> makara: what's wrong with using the gui to setup a static ip?
[06:56] <nimbiotics> abstrakt: never thought of it not even sure what it is.
[06:56] <w30> abstrakt, Ubuntu and Xfce rock
[06:56] <nimbiotics> abstrakt: THX, will read
[06:56] <makara> w30: gnome-fallback any good?
[06:56] <makara> almoxarife: the save button is greyed out
[06:56] <abstrakt> nimbiotics, are you a programmer?
[06:56] <abstrakt> nimbiotics, or just a database admin?
[06:56] <makara> on manual settings
[06:57] <w30> makara, not for me, it kinda puts a muffler on the jet engine noise
[06:57] <almoxarife> makara: that's because you didn't completely fill it out
[06:57] <nimbiotics> abstrakt: programmer
[06:57] <makara> w30: what do you do then? I'm in same boat, but at the back
[06:58] <jin> Can anyone help me? i installed gnome shell to try it out, and now unity has changed as well, the window title bars look wrong, and the panel is the gnome one. how do i change it back?
[06:58] <abstrakt> nimbiotics, k, then you should be able to use ruby on rails
[06:58] <w30> makara, Xubunt is Xfce4 and ubuntu instead of ubuntu being gnome3 and ubuntu. It's still ubuntu
[06:59] <abstrakt> nimbiotics, http://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html
[06:59] <nimbiotics> abstrakt: THX a bunch
[06:59] <makara> almoxarife: i put in IP address with mask and gateway, and then DNS. what now?
[07:00] <abstrakt> nimbiotics, you almost don't need to even do any programming to make rails_admin work
[07:00] <abstrakt> all you need to do is define your models basically
[07:00] <almoxarife> makara: what boxes are unfilled?
[07:01] <makara> alm.. what page are you on?
[07:01] <zetheroo> In Ubuntu 11.10 I am experiencing a strange series of sounds when watching streaming video content  ....  on some sites it does not do it at all however ... any idea how to fix this?
[07:02] <abstrakt> zetheroo, that is the fault of flash, not ubuntu
[07:03] <almoxarife> makara: editing network-settings wired
[07:03] <zetheroo> abstrakt: uh ok ... ... I am not so sure of that ...  are you?
[07:03] <makara> almoxarife: so on the IPv4 settings tab with method = Manual, it greys out the save
[07:05] <zetheroo> abstrakt: did you have this very same issue yourself, or know of others who did, and upon finding a solution it was found that Flash and not Ubuntu was in fact the "one" at "fault"?
[07:05] <nimbiotics> abstrakt: i'm reading & googling ... know anything bout Gambas?
[07:06] <tresk> Hi, my Evolution crashes on CA certificate import. Any idea what to do?
[07:06] <makara> almoxarife: hows it working for you?
[07:06] <tinfury> Help. I just installed something from SVN. I would like to know what build it is. How can I tell?
[07:07] <almoxarife> makara: I am fine, its greyed till filled in
[07:07] <almoxarife> makara: how it work for you?
[07:07] <researcher123> I cant access one folder except as a root. How can I set its permission for a user?
[07:07] <zetheroo> abstrakt: I am curious to know ... if it is the fault of Flash and not Ubuntu, why is it that in Ubuntu 11.04 this was not an issue!? Why is it that my 10.04 system does not have this issue?
[07:08] <makara> almoxarife: 192.168.1.19 - 255.255.255.0 - 192.168.1.1 DNS: 208.67.222.222; 208.67.220.220; what to put for search domains?
[07:08] <almoxarife> makara: your group, 'workgroup' ?? mshome??
[07:09] <tresk> Oh I see this bug is fixed. But my Evolution version is the old one. How can I get the newest version?
[07:09] <makara> its just me and the router
[07:09] <researcher123> how to give permission to a folder?
[07:10] <almoxarife> makara: no semicolon on dns, commas
[07:10] <makara> still
[07:10] <almoxarife> makara: no semicolon on dns, commas
[07:10] <w30> researcher123,  sudo chown root.usersname nameoffolder
[07:11] <makara> it shouldn't even need that
[07:11] <makara> I'm up-to-date 11.10
[07:11] <w30> researcher123, then sudo chmod -r g+rw folder
[07:11] <makara> I have to go lunch
[07:11] <researcher123> w30: my folder is downloadesfile and user is taran. How do I set permssions?
[07:12] <almoxarife> makara: have it your way, try burger king
[07:12] <ssfdre38> researcher123, use chmod
[07:13] <w30> researcher123, in a terminal type this: sudo chown -R root.taran
[07:15] <w30> researcher123,oops,  in a terminal type this: sudo chown -R root.taran downloadsfile
[07:15] <ssfdre38> w30, he wants the permissions not the uid to change
[07:16] <w30> researcher123,oops,  in a terminal type this also: chmod -R g+rw downloadsfile
[07:16] <researcher123> w30: ok.thanks
[07:17] <w30> ssfdre38, he wants taran to be able to access it.
[07:18] <w30> ssfdre38, taran does not need to own it
[07:18] <w30> ssfdre38, taran would not be able to delete it or move it
[07:18] <tresk> How can I upgrade my Evolution 3.2.1 to the new 3.2.2 version of Precise?
[07:19] <w30> ssfdre38, subtle differences here
[07:19] <ssfdre38> w30, then wouldn't be taran:taran
[07:20] <ssfdre38> cause if you have the user root to access it, then taran wouldnt be able to
[07:20] <w30> ssfdre38, if you want to take the folder away from root then yes, otherwise no.
[07:21] <mrmist> abstrakt: I'm happy with my nick the way it is thanks.
[07:22] <researcher123> after I set permission to one folder named Downloadedfiles I can access it but some folders which are inside it are still inaccessible.What to do?
[07:22] <w30> ssfdre38, root could do anything to any file but sudo would be limited to what it could do to a taran.taran file
[07:23] <tresk> mmm, how do I get my certificates imported in Evolution if it always crashes at Import .(
[07:23] <researcher123> w30: But I want to set permission for all folders and subfolders.what to do?
[07:24] <w30> ssfdre38, its acording whats in downloadfiles, porn! stolen credit card numbers, church mp3's
[07:25] <w30> researcher123, the -R flags means dig all the way into the folder to the bottom
[07:25] <researcher123> w30: then I should get access to subfolders also but thats not happening
[07:26] <almoxarife> I am guessing setting samba share permissions thru nautilus is not sexy enough for the terminal crowd, thing is , it works!
[07:26] <w30> researcher123, did you put the -R flag on both commands?
[07:27] <researcher123> w30: This I wrote "sudo chown -R root.taran Downloads"
[07:27] <tresk>  :(
[07:27] <researcher123> w30: inside Downlaods there are song,picture folders which can be seen but when double clicked it does not open
[07:29] <almoxarife> researcher123: that's because 'you' don't own the file
[07:29] <BlueEagle> almox: all I have is a VT100 terminal you insensitive clod.
[07:30] <Mitu> hii everyone
[07:30] <w30> researcher123, did you also do:  sudo chmod -R g+rw Downloads
[07:30] <makara> almoxarife: what you mean have it my way?
[07:30] <almoxarife> BlueEagle: I can help you with that, you need ubuntu for vt100
[07:30] <makara> could it be an issue with permissions on a config file that the save button doesn't work?
[07:31] <researcher123> w30: I did sudo chmod -R g+rw Downloads	also
[07:31] <Mitu> u all bitch
[07:32] <researcher123> w30: In which directory do I give this command
[07:32] <w30> researcher123, that will give group taran the ability to read and write to it and the sub folders and files
[07:33] <w30> researcher123, taran is assumed to be a member of group taran
[07:33] <researcher123> w30: I did but still cant access a folder named Pictures. "you dont have permission necessary to view the contents" message
[07:33] <ahoneypot> sudo su?
[07:34] <Mitu> fuck
[07:34] <tresk> Why I get no answer? Wrong information? Something not right?
[07:34] <w30> researcher123, from any directory if you use /full/path/to/Downloads instead of just Downloads
[07:34] <researcher123> w30: so was done but subfolders still inaccessbile
[07:35] <w30> researcher123, Pictures is inside Downloads?
[07:35] <Tuxiscool1> Can anyone answer any of my questions here?: http://askubuntu.com/questions/88602/icons-visible-in-unity-global-app-menu-are-restricted-to-theme-icons-looking-f
[07:35] <almoxarife> tresk: you want to install a package from a newer version to an older version?
[07:36] <researcher123> w30: its outside.I will correct this error n report
[07:37] <w30> researcher123, or are Pictures and Downloads inside downloadfile? these commands don't go side ways
[07:43] <tresk> almoxarife: I asked in #ubuntu+1. Unfortunatly I have to wait for the backport of Evolution 3.2.2
[07:45] <almoxarife> tresk: you could do the complete waste of time and compile it?
[07:47] <tresk> almoxarife: I fear I get then problems when I upgrade the compiled version with the backport.
[07:50] <almoxarife> tresk: well, if compiling source is something you don't mind, do it, when the packaged version comes out, remove yours and install the newer, not like your setting are going to get lost with the removal/upgrade, if that were the case we would all be in trouble
[08:05] <CodeOmegaPrime> What is the best method to move an ubuntu installation from one partition to another?
[08:06] <Blackshirt> Dd
[08:07] <ljuspunkt> CodeOmegaPrima: What worked for me was simple copying, leaving out /sys and similar stuff. Then adjust the /etc/fstab and bootloader-devices. Takes some time, but my system has never complained about nothing.
[08:08] <CodeOmegaPrime> well I was thinking just fresh installing and moving my ~/home directory over
[08:08] <CodeOmegaPrime> but I didn't know if that was advisable or not
[08:09] <tresk> CodeOmegaPrime: Maybe you can do it that way and use the Softwarecenter Sync option to reinstall all programms you had before
[08:10] <ljuspunkt> in this case you may want to keep some conf-files in /etc. Is /home on a seperate partitio or is it part of / ?
[08:10] <optimusm> how do i get directx 9.0 onto ubuntu?
[08:10] <CodeOmegaPrime> ljuspunkt part of .
[08:11] <CodeOmegaPrime> part of / *
[08:11] <ljuspunkt> CodeOmegaPrime: then you have to copy this tree (/home) to say a usb-stick or so in order to copy everything back after the fresh install.
[08:12] <tresk> optimusm: install "wintricks" and install via its config dialog
[08:12] <CodeOmegaPrime> ljuspunkt ok I will start copying now LOL
[08:12] <CodeOmegaPrime> TY
[08:13] <tresk> optimusm: winetricks*
[08:13] <optimusm> i already have wine
[08:14] <optimusm> tresk: im trying to play steam game
[08:15] <ljuspunkt> Of course, you may check the "numbers" /ownership: user ID and group ID of your filessystem ;-)
[08:15] <ljuspunkt> your files on stick i mean
[08:15] <tresk> tresk: have fun some of them work quite well, but think also about the newsest grfx driver
[08:16] <optimusm> i play war inc. battlezone
[08:17] <tresk> optimusm: There is also another games client desura.com for linux
[08:17] <optimusm> tresk: will it play war inc. battlezone?
[08:19] <tresk> optimusm: the best way to find that out is to search for it at http://appdb.winehq.org/
[08:22] <hot2trot> I'm sorry for being so noob, but my computer won't jump to the regular ubuntu sign-in screen, so I alt-ctrl F2 and login in there, then I try to do a gnome-session, or use mplayer, or any of that, I get an error saying "Cannot open display"... what is my problem, just so I know where to start digging
[08:22]  * SigMobile looks around
[08:23] <SigMobile> When I add something to cron
[08:23] <SigMobile> I'm supposed to put "#" in front of everyrthing, right?
[08:23] <soreau> ! cron | SigMobile
[08:23] <SigMobile> Fascinating
[08:23] <SigMobile> THanks for the documentation
[08:23] <_spray> Heh.
[08:23] <soreau> hot2trot: Sounds like X or gdm aren't starting correctly. Do you see any errors in /var/log/Xorg.0.log?
[08:23] <tresk> hot2trot: what have you done befor this happend?
[08:24] <hot2trot> tresk: let my friend do some stuff to the server and he communicated with it headlessly =( I know don't let other poele do stuff without knowing what they are doing exactly.  He upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04
[08:25] <hot2trot> soreau: lemme check really quick
[08:25] <tresk> hot2trot: have you played with graphics settings? Try to rename "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" to "xorg.conf.old"
[08:25] <_spray> Aw crap, this happened to me when I went from 9.10 to 10.04 after my daughter was born
[08:26] <_spray> I had to SSH in to my laptop from a nurse's kiosk to fix it but I have no idea what I did
[08:26] <_spray> It was some graphics issue though
[08:26] <_spray> ..and if my laptop were working I could check my shell history and tell you what I did
[08:26] <hot2trot> tresk: let my friend do some stuff to the server and he communicated with it headlessly =( I know don't let other poele do stuff without knowing what they are doing exactly.  He upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04
[08:26] <hot2trot> oops sorry
[08:26] <hot2trot> tresk: so do that and restart?
[08:27] <hot2trot> soreau: what should I look for in that log?
[08:27] <soreau> hot2trot: Can you pastebin it?
[08:27] <tresk> hot2trot: yes try it with restart
[08:27] <soreau> hot2trot: This should give you a link to the file from cli: sudo apt-get install curl && cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | curl -F 'sprunge=<-' http://sprunge.us
[08:28] <hot2trot> this thing is all messed up, can't see the left and right of the screen so I'm having trouble getting out of vim when looking at that log
[08:28] <hot2trot> one moment
[08:29] <hot2trot> now I press ZZ to get out of vim and get "Not an ediotr command: ZZ"
[08:29] <hot2trot> XD
[08:30] <tresk> hot2trot if that doesn't do the job rename it back and follow soreau's instructions or do "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[08:31] <atruno> i told harris county that at one point in time i had two live wires taped to my testicles because they would not stop djing music and they couldn't continue to justify it with a insult.  its called slavery.  harris county sheriff department.  they're all insults.  and their officers are even homicidal.  no one know what goes in behind closed doors. the live wires were there because they wouldn't stop playing music.
[08:36] <hot2trot> tresk: I just rebooted the computer, just to be clear, your initial suggestion is to "mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.old" and then restart, and let the system make a new one?
[08:37] <tresk> hot2trot: yes, and it doesn't make a new one
[08:37] <tresk> hot2trot: only if it the gdm isn't comiong up again, try "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[08:38] <bachus_> ka
[08:38] <bachus_> xD
[08:39] <tresk> hot2trot: In my case I could only start gdm if I hadn't any xorg.conf :)
[08:39] <aber02zzl> hi,everbody
[08:40] <hot2trot> tresk: well it's an even worse problem because whenever I start the computer, half the time I jsut get some text at the top flashing and being weird... I smell a reformat coming up =(
[08:40] <soreau> hot2trot: Can you pastebin your X log?
[08:41] <hot2trot> soreau: I wish, the computer cna only connect to the internet via wifi, which I can only connect to wifi via a gui =((((
[08:41] <Neosano> is it possible to send a key press from console to the window if it's minimized?
[08:41] <soreau> hot2trot: You can connect from cli..
[08:41] <Neosano> or a mouse click
[08:42] <hot2trot> soreau: is there an easy way to connect to wifi via cli?
[08:43] <soreau> hot2trot: If it's open or wep encryption, you can use iwconfig and for wpa, you'd probably want to use wpa_supplicant. In either case, you run dhclient to have it resolve a dhcp connection
[08:43] <Neosano> you'll have to run dhclient in any way, if I'm not mistaken
[08:44] <hot2trot> well, as of now, I am restarting the computer multiple time to get to the one magic time where I can get to a cli prompt
[08:45] <theos> hi. i have a usb webcam. it is detected as "ID 0ac8:3340 Z-Star Microelectronics Corp.". the problem is that i cant get it to work. cheese shows a black screen. i am using ubuntu lucid. please help.
[08:45] <ZAKhan> anyone has experiance with hotspot installation?
[08:46] <linuxuz3r> ZAKhan: whats that
[08:46] <ZAKhan> wifi hotsopt
[08:48] <hot2trot> okay, well I got the computer started again, and if it's worth anything I get an error along the lines of "hda_intel: azx_get_response timeout, switching to single_cmd mode" about to google it as well
[08:49] <ljuspunkt> to start wifi on console /tty one may have a look at cnetworkmanager
[08:49] <tresk> hot2trot: maybe it's a good time to make a backup of /home and /etc now ,)
[08:50] <hot2trot> tresk: lol, it's okay, it's a "toy" computer, making it an htpc, this is my last shot before the dreaded reformat
[08:50] <tresk> hot2trot: so go for Oneiric then ,)
[08:51] <hot2trot> tresk: wanna, but I have a fitpc2 and the only support they have for how to compile mplayer with video acceleration is using 9.10
[08:52] <cyphase> ah, my vlc icon changed. now i really know christmas is here
[08:53] <theos> heh
[08:54] <theos> in other words, vlc knows "what you did last christmas"
[08:55] <Neosano> my vlc didn't :(((
[08:55] <Neosano> is there something wrong with me?
[08:56] <tresk> hot2trot: is that your problem? http://bit.ly/swXDkh
[08:57] <theos> can someone help me with my usb webcam? "its not working" :D it is detected as "ID 0ac8:3340 Z-Star Microelectronics Corp." and "uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device Sirius USB2.0 Camera (0ac8:3340)". cheese doesnt show any error. just a blank screen when using the usb cam. halp!
[08:59] <theos> its been 2 years now that i have been trying to find a way to make it work on linux. no. i wont switch back to windowze. i will keep trying to make it work...
[08:59] <CQ> hello, I'm running an up to date lucid, and do-release-upgrade is reporting no new releases... and I only have the command line. Is manually changing sources.list and dist-upgrading recommended (straight to natty)?
[08:59] <CQ> err, to oneicric
[09:00] <hot2trot> tresk: are you asking if that's the problem with me running oneirc?
[09:01] <hot2trot> tresk: also, I did the xorg move and now I get a big black screen...
[09:03] <makara> gnome-fallback sucks
[09:03] <ljuspunkt> theos: you are running lucid? maybe it's kernel is too old; i mean there were tons of changes since then and loads of new drivers were added. Can you boot your system with a new oneiric live-cd or something to see if it works there?
[09:05] <hot2trot> okay, i'm giving up, thanks for all the help guys
[09:05] <tresk> hot2trot: but you can switch to cli?!
[09:08] <theos> ljuspunkt, oh ok i will try. cant i download the particular driver for this cam? instead of upgrading everything? i like LTS :) thanks
[09:10] <majnoon> !ot
[09:12] <ljuspunkt> theos: you do not have to upgrade everything, just get a cd and see if it works; then you might have a look on your cams producers homepage, they might have linux drivers one can download. If this is the case you may find the information you need in some README file or something like that. Good luck ;-)
[09:14] <theos> ljuspunkt, yeah thats what i wanted to say. i need the right drivers i think :) unfortunately, this cam is said to be "plug n play" according to the manufacturer :( thanks anyways. should of worked in ubuntu though.
[09:20] <bullgard4> A »user_ID« is a 'character string' or 'pattern' that is used by a 'data processing system' to identify a 'user'. A user ID is either a »numerical user ID« or what? How is the other form of a user ID called (for example "paul")?
[09:25] <holmen> hi, i have a question about md raid: i just created a raid5 with mdadm --create [...] and now it says "rebuilding" in raid details. need i wait until this is completed before creating file systems and the like?
[09:25] <rectec> Can I prevent pulseaudio from changing the output connector when I plug my headphones in? There's no sound when it's switched to the "Analog Headphones" connector.
[09:28] <sks> hiii
[09:32] <bpietro> bullgard4: user ID is a generic term for anything user is identified with
[09:33] <bullgard4> bpietro: I know that. I did ask for a specific form of a »user ID« though.
[09:34] <abstrakt> how do I get pidgin in to my system tray on XFCE?
[09:34] <bpietro> on Unix-like system it's number, generated when sysadmin add new user to system. Stored in /etc/password (user logina name, user id and so on)
[09:34] <bpietro> *login name
[09:36] <bullgard4> bpietro: I know that.
[09:36] <mrmj> can anyone tell me how to kill X in ubuntu 11.1 , the old command wont work
[09:36] <mrmj> so i can try to install a file..
[09:37] <llutz> mrmj: sudo service lightdm stop
[09:37] <bullgard4> mrmj: What Ubuntu version do you use? What "old command" did you use?
[09:37] <mrmj> its 11.1 and i used the sudo/etc/init.d/gdm stop
[09:38] <mrmj> i will try ,  sudo service lightdm stop
[09:38] <mrmj> thank you very much
[09:38] <bullgard4> mrmj: There is no Ubuntu version 11.1.
[09:39] <mrmj> 11.10
[09:39] <bullgard4> mrmj: Try <llutz>'s proposal.
[09:40] <bpietro> the "other form" you asked, IMHO, are only forms that system shows to you for comfort. ls -l shows owner login name instead of user ID
[09:40] <oCean> bullgard4: Usually the other unique identifier is a person's UserName (besides the numerical ID)
[09:41] <mrmj> can i just type in the same command to run the file as before, or has that changed also?
[09:41] <borillion> can anyone help me with git
[09:41] <borillion> ?
[09:41] <bullgard4> bpietro, oCean Thank you very much for your help.
[09:41] <mrmj> like sudu sh ./filename
[09:42] <bpietro> bullgard4: maybe you know all of it. maybe I didn't understand what you ask for ;)
[09:43] <bullgard4> bpietro: You did help me. --  Again, I thank you for your help.
[09:43] <bpietro> np
[09:47] <mrmj> these changes somewhat bother me lol
[09:47] <mrmj> :P
[09:48] <mrmj> but im liking the new version
[09:49] <mrmj> sudo sh ./filenamehere <will that still work?
[09:50] <llutz> mrmj: sure
[09:50] <mrmj> cool, thank you
[09:50] <mrmj> ill give it a try
[09:50] <mrmj> :)

[10:02] <e01> is it possible to change the sound backend from gstreamer to xine?
[10:03] <Starminn> So I am being told that I should install proprietary/open-source drivers... How do I go about this? (In System-> "Proprietary Drivers" nothing is listed)
[10:03] <Starminn> Using Ubuntu 11.10, also.
[10:04] <grozavpaul> is there a way i can connect to a DSL connection using network manager in ubuntu 11.10 ?
[10:05] <Mad_Bear> hey guys!
[10:05] <theos> hi
[10:06] <Mad_Bear> i have a question
[10:06] <grozavpaul> anyone? is there a way i can connect to a DSL connection using network manager in ubuntu 11.10 ?
[10:06] <Mad_Bear> I use Gnome classic on my Ubuntu 11.10
[10:06] <Sidewinder1> grozavpaul, just plug it into the 'nic', reboot, and ubuntu 'should' see it..
[10:06] <Mad_Bear> and I've decided to install cairo dock
[10:07] <Mad_Bear> but I can't remove the bottom panel
[10:07] <Mad_Bear> How can I do this?
[10:07] <grozavpaul> Sidewinder1 : the cable is connected, and i made the configuration in network manager, i defined a new DSL connection with my PPPoE username and password, but whenever i try to connect to it i get an error
[10:08] <grozavpaul> or something, but it doesn't connect ..
[10:08] <Sidewinder1> Please, don't tell me that the floodbots are acting up, again..
[10:08] <Mad_Bear> Hey! Can anybody help me?
[10:09] <Sidewinder1> grozavpaul, What is the error?
[10:09] <grozavpaul> Mad_Bear, right click on it and select "Hide this panel"
[10:09] <Mad_Bear> i can't
[10:09] <Mad_Bear> there is no context menu
[10:10] <Mad_Bear> when I click rbutton
[10:10] <grozavpaul> it doesn't show any error but it tries to connect and then, after a few tries, it connects to the default eth0
[10:10] <Mad_Bear> grozavpaul: other ideas?
[10:10] <Sidewinder1> grozavpaul, I'm on fios, similar to DSL, and I didn't do any configuring; it just worked.. :D
[10:10] <grozavpaul> Mad_Bear: no... sorry
[10:11] <Mad_Bear> damn
[10:11] <Mad_Bear> thanks
[10:12] <grozavpaul> Sidewinder1 : but i have to set the username and password. I heard there was a bug in network manager ... and wicd doesn't support DSL connections
[10:13] <Sidewinder1> grozavpaul, Perhaps if you remove the username and password, then reboot, it'll work. As I said, even though I have a usernaqme and password, they're not needed in order for me to connect; I'm not sure how your ISP handles that. Perhaps you might call them..
[10:13] <incorrect> how can i change the remote desktop resolution?
[10:14] <Sidewinder1> grozavpaul, BTW, I'm on 10.04..
[10:15] <theos> hi, what does "sudo aptitude full-upgrade" do? just installs new kernel?
[10:16] <grozavpaul> i could configure the connection with pppoeconf but then i don't know how to share it ... cause i want to share the internet via the wireless
[10:16] <Starminn> So I am being told that I should install proprietary/open-source drivers... How do I go about this? (In System-> "Proprietary Drivers" nothing is listed)
[10:16] <smw> Starminn, "additional drivers"
[10:17] <anderson> There is a command to use instead of make install. It will allow apt-get to remove it. I forgot what it was, thinking I would start using it when I fresh installed next. Now I keep googling and can't find it.
[10:17] <smw> Starminn, or in a terminal "gksu jockey-gtk"
[10:18] <Sidewinder1> grozavpaul, When you had DSL installed, didn't 'they' give you a router?
[10:18] <almoxarife> anderson: checkinstall
[10:18] <Starminn> smw, Additional Drivers says that I don't have anything available.
[10:18] <anderson> almostroot,  Yes! Thanks!
[10:18] <grozavpaul> Sidewinder1, no, they didn't
[10:18] <smw> Starminn, have you updated your system?
[10:18] <Starminn> smw, Yesterday
[10:18] <_DeLa_> hello everybody
[10:18] <smw> Starminn, if so, then additional drivers won't help
[10:19] <grozavpaul> cause if they did i would connect to the router with DHCP (no username and password needed)
[10:19] <linuxuz3r> ouch
[10:19] <rockband> anyone experienced with kvmoip and ubuntu
[10:20] <Sidewinder1> grozavpaul, Well, not sure where you are but here in PA, when Verizon installed my fios, it came with a wireless and 4 port wired router..
[10:20] <rockband> the response rate is really slow...is that normal for kvmoip
[10:20] <linuxuz3r> ouch man
[10:20] <linuxuz3r> this movie has some suprise at the end
[10:20] <_DeLa_> question: when I am contend with everything the regular ubuntu has to offer except the unity desktop, is it okay to just install the lxde or xfce desktops environments from the software center and use them this way? Or do the full lubuntu / xubuntu provide a more stable / efficient use of these desktops?
[10:22] <Starminn> smw, I was told my video card may not be supported, or may lack the necessary interface, and was then told, "Try experimenting with proprietary or opensource drivers" Curious as to what course of action I should take
[10:23] <Sidewinder1> grozavpaul, I know that doesn't help much; sorry. But when I plugged it in, no configuring, it just worked.. :-)
[10:23] <smw> Starminn, no idea. been a long time since I have need to mess with video

[10:27] <xbxx> is there any other way to create an isofo your distro
[10:27] <xbxx> anyone?
[10:28] <xbxx> basically make an iso of my current ubuntu install
[10:28] <Origen> xbxx: There may be more modern ways these days but I used to use na automated clonezilla DVD
[10:28] <xbxx> clonezilla ??? linux
[10:29] <xbxx> There may be more modern ways these days ( do you know of these new modern ways )
[10:29] <Origen> xbxx: Yes. Take an image of your box using clonezilla and then just use the command is split out to create an answer file
[10:29] <xbxx> so i have to have windows installed
[10:30] <xbxx> does clonezilla run on linux?
[10:30] <Origen> xbxx: Easiest way to tyink of Clonezilla is a linux based distro that is an opensource version of Symantec Ghost

[10:36] <staii2_> my ubuntu system stopped loading after a hibernation, it claims it couldn't mount /dev (and others), then brings up an initramfs prompt. Also, /var/sys/syslog is truncated for some reason, what should i do?
[10:38] <incorrect> i would rather use vinagre if i could set the remote desktop resolution than remmina
[10:38] <incorrect> the docs say it can be done, but the features are just missing
[10:38] <incorrect> where these features compiled out of the deb?
[10:44] <borillion>  just curious what are the prospects of porting something like android face unlock to ubuntu or something?

[11:01] <irhass_> hi
[11:01] <irhass_> i have a problem with a the sound
[11:02] <Sidewinder1> !sound | irhass_
[11:03] <irhass_> when i plugged an earphone the sound is not in the earphone,but in the speaker
[11:04] <cousin_luigi> nevermind, found it
[11:05] <irhass_> my laptop is Acer Aspire One 722 Linux Edition
[11:05] <cousin_luigi> How would you go on about autostarting apps?
[11:05] <cousin_luigi> putting them in .config/autostart?
[11:06] <mazda01> anyone good with bash and the unrar command. Need a bulk unrar e script to parse source folder for rar sets, IF it find one, then it should cd to that folder and  unrar e the rar set and save the resulting file to a "destiniation" folder, when done, go back to the higher level directory, and continue search for more folders that contain rar sets, etc etc.
[11:07] <irhass_> Im New in IRC ,Help me to learn the IRC
[11:07] <mazda01> oh, good morning by the way. heheheeee   Appreicate any help
[11:07] <mazda01> irhass_, what client are you using? what program are you using to display these IRC messages i meant
[11:07] <irhass_> irssi
[11:09] <mazda01> irhass_, ah, i am not familar with that client, I use a GUI type client in ubuntu. called Xchat
[11:10] <mazda01> irhass_, are you good with bash scripts?
[11:13] <ssta> if you're new to IRC then try a GUI client.  The main advantage of irssi (unless you're an old crusty like me) is that you can run it in screen.  GUI is easier to start with
[11:15] <mazda01> ssta, wow, he's gone already. I was going to second your suggestion. LOL
[11:15] <ssta> oh, I dunno, I ignore joins and parts in here...otherwise the scroll is insane
[11:18]  * coolstar-ipod uses Empathy for IRC
[11:19] <mazda01> i use xchat BUT I am far from some irc guru. LOL I just know what I need to do to help others with IRC and how to get help when I need it. LOL
[11:20] <ssta> I'm just ancient... :P
[11:20] <ssta> plus, I hate mice
[11:22] <zho> anyone here have an experience using HP Storageworks?
[11:23] <blackshirt> Zho,what the problems?
[11:23] <zho> i cannot mount the storage
[11:24] <zho> it looks like i need a driver right?
[11:24] <zho> HP only support Redhat and SUSE
[11:25] <mazda01> anyone have an awesome BULK unrar e bash script?
[11:26] <mazda01> zho, no, sorry. only HP stuff in ubuntu i do is with the printer/scanner I use which is HP and just works because of HPlip (i think it's called HPlip)
[11:27] <zho> mazda01: ic
[11:27] <dr_willis> !info unp | mazda01
[11:28] <Sidewinder1> zho, Is it a standard external hard drive or an SSD?

[11:29] <dr_willis> Ive seen some of the archive tools support wild cards like  --->   unzip      '*.zip'
[11:29] <zho> Sidewinder1: it is HP Storageworks on HP Blade, conneced using FIbrechanel
[11:29] <dr_willis> the quotes passed the wildcards to the archiver. not the shell
[11:29] <ssta> he wants them unpacked to different directories I think?
[11:29] <zho> *connected
[11:30] <Sidewinder1> zho, I don't even know what that (Blade. Fibrechanel), is; sorry. :-(
[11:31] <zho> Sidewinder1: no problems

[11:32] <zho> Sidewinder1: i use it on ubuntu-server

[11:33] <mazda01> dr_willis, ah boy, looks like you may have just come thru again for me. LOL  BUT does it do BULK unpacking?
[11:33] <Sidewinder1> zho, Did you 'chown', it?
[11:33] <mazda01> dr_willis, will go check it out. THANKS
[11:33] <mazda01> Sidewinder1, you're not from Florida are you?
[11:33] <zho> Sidewinder1, how to chown it since, the /dev/ not shown
[11:33] <mazda01> Sidewinder1, lol, i know someone with your "handle" from florida
[11:34] <dr_willis> mazda01:  not sure what you mean by 'bulk'
[11:34] <Sidewinder1> mazda01, No, I'm not but have enjoyed my visits, there.
[11:35] <Sidewinder1> mazda01, And, you're exactly correct; it was my "handle", back in the CB days (the 70s).
[11:35] <dr_willis> Showing your age... :)

[11:53] <mazda01> ssta, i know SAP? what's your question about ERP's?
[11:53] <mazda01> dr_willis, THANKS, will check it. YOU da man
[11:54] <ssta> mazda01: I didn't have a question about erps.  It was an involuntary noise of surprise at the epople who can call themselves unix admins these days.  It's really not appropriate for this channel, so I won't expand on it
[11:54] <mazda01> rainbowwarrior, are you running compiz?
[11:55] <rainbowwarrior> not sure Mazda01
[11:55] <mazda01> ssta, ah, if you'd like to chat about something not appropriate for pubic, id be happy to join an adult conversation with ya privately, just send me a chat room join requeest
[11:55] <busybyeski> that brings a good point up
[11:55] <busybyeski> what is the equivalent to windows task manager in a cli?
[11:55] <busybyeski> what's a good unix command to show running processes
[11:55] <mazda01> rainbowwarrior, so to the best of your knowledge, you are running  a stock ubuntu 11.10 without any custimaztions?
[11:55] <dr_willis> busybyeski:  ps, top, htop
[11:56] <ssta> mazda01: probably belongs in #ununtu-offtopic, but it's all negative ranting, so there's probably no point.  THis place is supposed to be positive reinforcement only (or something)
[11:56] <rainbowwarrior> yes mazda01 i forgot to mention its 64 bit aswell
[11:56] <mazda01> busybyeski, I use ps or top
[11:56] <Sidewinder1> busybyeski, Or, perhaps, System Monitor.
[11:57] <ssta> busybyeski: what exactly do you want to know about running processes?
[11:57] <mazda01> ssta, lol, sounds good. i guess i was just curious what you ahd to say because I am changing careers and who knows that I may get myself into? LOL  starting with SBS w/exchange setup/admin BUT if I can take my IT company I am joining to new areans I would love to talk
[11:58] <ssta> mazda01: if you want to, then join #ubuntu-offtopic.
[11:58] <mazda01> rainbowwarrior, ok, and how often does flicker did you say?
[11:58] <mazda01> ssta, oh I do! I have to get coffee, use restroom and I am ready to chat professionally

[12:00] <zho> rainbowwarror: what about changing the refresh rate > 59mhz
[12:00] <Sidewinder1> rainbowwarrior, It may be a suspend/hibernate issue?

[12:01] <mazda01> brb
[12:01] <ssta> rainbowwarrior: might be worth installing pastebinit.  The then you do: lspci -v|pastebinit

[12:13] <ikonia> andyn: if it's marked as triaged, it's already triaged
[12:13] <mazda01> rainbowwarrior, oh, then you'll need to issue this instead.  gunzip -c /var/log/dmesg.1.gz | grep NVIDIA
[12:14] <mazda01> rainbowwarrior, or instead of dmesg.1.gz, use dmesg.0.gz
[12:14] <andyn> triaged as in happily marked as such without doing anything?
[12:15] <ikonia> andyn: depends what it's involved in doing,
[12:15] <andyn> sounds like mr. iraqi information minister

[12:18] <mazda01> rainbowwarrior, nope, I want a dmesg output that has NVIDIA in it otherwise you're not using the correct module for your installed graphics card
[12:20] <rainbowwarrior> hmm maybe wrong module then since it is not saying NVIDIA in the dmesg , thank you for your help mazda01
[12:20] <mazda01> rainbowwarrior, anytime. my colledted knoweldge using ubuntu over 5 yeasr has made me be able to "pay it forward" to others who are joing the revolution. LOL

[12:41] <orated> I went through some of ubuntu forums and community pages on backup like https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem - Is there any utiluty which dd the complete HDD and pipes it to tart or other compression media from time to time? Does rsnapshot does the same using rsync? Why is rsync preferred over dd for backup?
[12:42] <ikonia> orated: have a little look at clonezilla
[12:42] <ikonia> orated: keep in mind backig up a whole system from the same machine that's in use isn't always a wise idea
[12:43] <orated> ikonia: Yes, that isn't but afaik dd doesn't do that (does it?)
[12:43] <ikonia> orated: does do what sorry ?
[12:43] <orated> I mean one can dd from Live mode
[12:44] <ikonia> orated: live mode - do you mean a running system, or from a livecd (enviornment) based system
[12:45] <orated> ikonia: I was replying to what you asked me to make note of. I got Ubuntu 11.10 installed and with a liveCD/USB I can dd the HDD containing the OS ... ?
[12:46] <Zentaur> hey! i mede it!
[12:46] <Zentaur> made it
[12:46] <cousin_luigi> ljuspunkt: interesting, I'll try that
[12:46] <orated> and maybe pipe it to tar and all that in a script
[12:46] <ikonia> orated: you could just use "copy" if you wanted, as block level backups are not always the best way, but dd/clonezilla/copy anything will work
[12:46] <Zentaur> i went to /us/bin
[12:46] <Zentaur> executed ccsm
[12:47] <orated> ikonia: block level backups as in?

[12:47] <zacarias> any help with this thread? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1896812

[12:52] <Giggaflop> hey, tried the forums, can't seem to find my answer. i have a laptop sat next to me, not abl to connect via wired, but can via wireless
[12:53] <Giggaflop> the wired NIC is a JMC250 Gigabit Lan Adapter
[12:53] <Giggaflop> revision 5
[12:54] <Giggaflop> the make/model of laptop is Clevo w251hu, and it was working, but since updating from 10.10, to 11.10 its broken down
[12:55] <ljuspunkt> cousin_luigi: i actually did not read the page and i don't use devilspie ... isn't it enough to put the daemon in your personal autostart or even the systemwide?
[12:56] <cousin_luigi> ljuspunkt: yes, but there are other apps in there and should they start before devilspie, I guess they wouldn't be iconified
[12:57] <Giggaflop> hmm :(
[12:57] <pranitbauva1997> can i have a java program to display menu
[12:57] <Giggaflop> lolwhut?
[12:58] <VCoolio> cousin_luigi: delay the other apps and you should be good, like: sleep 5 && firefox
[12:58] <theadmin> Giggaflop: From 10.10 to 11.10? No wonder it broke, updates on Ubuntu break *everything*, I wonder how on earth you survived updating from 10.10 to even 11.04
[12:58] <Giggaflop> it wasn't me that did it
[12:58] <Giggaflop> also, i tried a linux mint lave USB
[12:58] <Giggaflop> and that couldn't connect either D:
[12:59] <Giggaflop> i figured it was just an update issue
[12:59] <theadmin> Giggaflop: Oh, okay then, not the problem with this... Hm.
[12:59] <Giggaflop> tbh the systems held up really well dispite the upgrade :P
[12:59] <Giggaflop> its really confusing me this one, and i'm not really a noob, i run archlinux myself

[13:01] <Giggaflop> it'd for my stepdad :(
[13:01] <Giggaflop> and he only just took the linux dive
[13:01] <theadmin> Giggaflop: Arch + XFCE + yaourt-gui :P
[13:01] <Giggaflop> so arch is a bit too advanced
[13:02] <Giggaflop> arch + g3 + yaourt-gui
[13:02] <theadmin> Giggaflop: gnome3 is confusing for windows users
[13:02] <Giggaflop> with the arch theme
[13:02] <Giggaflop> thats what i run!
[13:02] <Giggaflop> :P
[13:02] <Giggaflop> seperate machines
[13:02] <Giggaflop> his is ubuntu, mines arch
[13:02] <Giggaflop> his has the issue
[13:03] <ManDay> If I type "vi" an editor start which says to be "VIM - Vi IMproved". But "vim" is not installed. What is that?!
[13:05] <ljuspunkt> cousin_luigi: is it not possible to start devilspie earlier via, say, rc.local or so?
[13:11] <kvijayreddy10> anyone working on oracle apps R12 ?
[13:11] <ikonia> kvijayreddy10: try ##oracle - it has sub channels too
[13:11] <airtonix> theadmin: it is? i think you'll find windows is confusing for windows users
[13:12] <theadmin> airtonix: Sometimes indeed xD
[13:12] <airtonix> theadmin: no not sometimes, pretty much all the time.
[13:12] <conntrack> lol
[13:13] <peter-adfadfaj> What is the best way to transcode video to play on Android devices? I've tried some basic ffmpeg stuff which works, but the quality is less than YouTube videos. Has anyone got a preferred command, script or otherwise?
[13:13] <sulpheric> morning..anybody who could help me with a problem on LDAP?
[13:14] <case__> i'm having trouble with my panel opacity, using metacity, the latest ati drivers and xinerama in Ubuntu 11.10. Any pointers how to get transparancy working?
[13:14] <ikonia> case__: you're using xinerama with ati (dual head I'm sure)
[13:15] <case__> ikonia: yes, two monitors
[13:15] <ikonia> case__: very intersting, are they the closed sourced ati drivers ?
[13:15] <ikonia> case__: using xinerama always used to disable 3d capabilities on the cards (ati/nvidia) is 3d capabilities working for you
[13:15] <case__> ikonia: I made an Ubuntu package with the official ati installer
[13:15] <ikonia> or could that be part of the issue you are seeing ?
[13:15] <case__> ikonia: yes, Google earth is working
[13:16] <ikonia> case__: very interesting, is that the open or closed ati modules ?
[13:16] <case__> ikonia: I don't know if ati has shared the source code. I bet it's closed
[13:16] <ikonia> case__: there are open and closed modules - where did you get them
[13:17] <mongy> peter-adfadfaj, try arist
[13:17] <kvijayreddy10> oracle apache service  got deleted from services.msc on window 2000 server  , please help
[13:17] <mongy> peter-adfadfaj,  I mean arista
[13:17] <case__> ikonia: amd.com/ati
[13:17] <ikonia> case__: ah, the closed ones, still interesting to see you get 3d support with xinerama now
[13:17] <ikonia> case__: are you SURE your using xinerama and not the ati dual head tools ?
[13:17] <iceman45> hello
[13:18] <peter-adfadfaj> Thanks mongy, looking at it again...
[13:18] <case__> ikonia: yes, xinerama is enabled in my xorg.conf
[13:18] <ikonia> case__: could I have a look (pastebin it please) ?
[13:18] <case__> ikonia: sure, hangon
[13:18] <mongy> peter-adfadfaj, as for ffmpeg, you need to give it the right settings.   did you set the bitrate and video codec to use?
[13:19] <iceman45> how can i fully download and install all codecs required for all sorts of multimedia easily/automatically
[13:19] <ikonia> case__: sorry, just curious as this is a good change in capabilities
[13:19] <Giggaflop> iceman45, medibuntu
[13:20] <peter-adfadfaj> mongy, this is what I'm confused about.
[13:20] <iceman45> Giggaflop, i tried that but after i downloaded and installed it, it didnt work (do i have to restart thre pc ?
[13:20]  * conntrack roll on the floor laughing
[13:20] <Giggaflop> you downloade all of the medibuntu repo?
[13:20] <case__> ikonia: http://pastebin.com/u6vNgKLn
[13:20] <mongy> peter-adfadfaj, go with arista, I think it might even use ffmpeg but is a nice gui
[13:20] <Giggaflop> O_O
[13:20] <Giggaflop> how do you have a HDD left?
[13:21] <iceman45> Giggaflop, yes
[13:21] <ikonia> case__: thanks
[13:21] <Giggaflop> you sure you didn't jsut add them :P
[13:21] <Starman83> hey guys, ever since I've updated to Kernel 3.x I've got poor Samba performance. Anyone else experiencing this problem? If I boot into an older 2.6 kernel, the problem goes away
[13:21] <Giggaflop> you have to find the codecs you need
[13:21] <Giggaflop> and install them
[13:21] <Starman83> 3.x kernel ~ 5 mb/s, 2.6 kernel ~ 20 mb/s
[13:21] <iceman45> each one maually Giggaflop ?
[13:22] <Giggaflop> well
[13:22] <Giggaflop> gstreamer-good, gstreamer-bad, gstreamer-ugly
[13:22] <Giggaflop> then if you want DVD playback, libdvdcss2
[13:22] <case__> ikonia: the composite enabled could be the problem that opacity is not working, as it has no effect/is broken with xinerama
[13:22] <case__> ikonia: that's my best guess
[13:22] <ikonia> case__: a reasonable guess
[13:23] <CQ> can I jump from maverick to oneiric, or do I need to go via natty?
[13:23] <ikonia> case__: just give me a minute to finish reading
[13:23] <iceman45> Giggaflop, isnt there a command that would do all the job automatically ?
[13:23] <iceman45> or package ?
[13:23] <case__> ikonia: take your time, i'm watching BreakingBad S04 ;)
[13:23] <Giggaflop> dunno iceman45 i don't use ubuntu
[13:23] <Giggaflop> :P
[13:24] <ikonia> case__: ok - so your config as a comcept looks spot on for what you are describing
[13:24] <ikonia> concept even
[13:25] <nansi> hello
[13:25] <ikonia> case__: out of interest do you get 3d support on both monitors or just one
[13:25] <nansi> hi
[13:25] <nansi> slt
[13:25] <case__> ikonia: don't know, let me check
[13:25] <case__> ikonia: yeah, both
[13:26] <ikonia> case__: ok, I'm shocked (but nicley shocked) by that, looks like ati/xinerama made a good jump
[13:26] <ikonia> case__: is the transparancy a problem on both screens, or just one
[13:27] <case__> ikonia: I don't know how to put the panel on the other monitor
[13:27] <mazda01> case__, which ATI card is it?
[13:27] <case__> mazda01: it's a HD 4850
[13:27] <ikonia> case__: ahhh unity, of course, didn't think that through
[13:28] <mazda01> case__, awesome, so you got duel monitors working with 3d accleration?
[13:28] <sulpheric> question on ldap..how do I make a backend config ldif from a existing server
[13:28] <case__> mazda01: yep!
[13:28] <iceroot> sulpheric: #slapd or #openldap
[13:29] <tx909> hi pinurocks, its tx909
[13:29] <mazda01> case__, and that's with the closed source code from ati's website? which Ubuntu version?
[13:29] <tx909> dont mention any original names ok
[13:29] <iceroot> sulpheric: put if you only want a complete dump use "slapcat > backup.ldif"
[13:29] <mazda01> case__, which desktop manager?
[13:29] <case__> mazda01: yes, I used ati-driver-installer-11-12-x86.x86_64.run to build Ubuntu/11.10 packages
[13:29] <tx909> pinurocks dont mention any real names ok
[13:30] <case__> oneiric
[13:30] <sulpheric> iceroot: yeah I get that one. the problem is that I need to add a new syncrep consumer to an existing environment...some jerk in the office removed my configuration files so I have to build out of the existing ldap
[13:30] <cousin_luigi> VCoolio: are apps inside autostart launched in sequence or in parallel?
[13:30] <resonantsky> hey
[13:30] <sulpheric> not a problem with old style LDAP, but new style is a bit..mind boggling
[13:30] <case__> mazda01: I think it's called metacity?
[13:30] <cousin_luigi> ljuspunkt: that might be an option, but I'd rather not touch the innards of the OS if I can avoid it.
[13:31] <iceroot> sulpheric: #slapd or #openldap
[13:31] <mazda01> case__, the default one that comes with Ubuntu 11.10? metacity is the window manager. You using Gnome?
[13:31] <sulpheric> ok thx
[13:31] <resonantsky> can anyone give me a hand, i have some strange locking on my ubuntu session when working with files, compiz/unity etc freeze when I try to make/delete files/directories...
[13:31] <case__> mazda01: ah yes, Gnome
[13:32] <resonantsky> i think its some kind of su/gksu sudo problem
[13:32] <mazda01> case__, this is wonderful news to me! I gave up duel displays back in lucid lynx and that was with an Nvidia card and trying to get compiz and stuff like google earth working. now knowing it works with an ATI card? HUGE
[13:32] <alpha-aquilae> Do you know any virtual sound board (like http://bit.ly/uN3CNk ) running under ubuntu?
[13:32] <tx909> ;
[13:33] <mazda01> case__, this is with Unity also?
[13:33] <case__> mazda01: ah :) Well compiz isn't working because it's giving an error that the composite plugin isn't loaded
[13:33] <ikonia> case__: there are a few bugs logged against xorg and certain ati module versions regarding compoisiting support
[13:33] <compapps_> please visit my blog http://computerapplications1997.wordpress.com
[13:33] <ikonia> compapps_: pleae don't spam
[13:33] <case__> mazda01: haven't tried Unity yet
[13:34] <case__> ikonia: ok
[13:34] <VCoolio> cousin_luigi: parallel I think, but you could write your own sequence in a script and put only that in autostart to make sure devilspie starts before the rest
[13:34] <mazda01> case__, ah, ok. i could care less about compiz to be honest. don't need the flashy stuff BUT google earth is awesome!
[13:34] <tx909> yo compapps
[13:34] <ikonia> case__: ubuntu 11.10 is unity
[13:34] <resonantsky> anyone? it seems whenever i try to make a directory or delete a file that my GUI locks up and i have to use a vty to restart it
[13:34] <mazda01> case__, oh, so you're using 11.10 something other then unity?
[13:34] <case__> mazda01: what ikonia said :)
[13:34] <mazda01> case__, yea, what ikonia said
[13:34] <mazda01> case__, lol
[13:34] <tx909> if u want to talk to someone in particular, mention the nickname and that sentence will be highlighted compapps
[13:34] <mazda01> case__, i hate unity but that's just my personal pref
[13:34] <ikonia> case__: looking at some of the bug reports, it does suggest similar symptoms and issue as what you are describing
[13:35] <case__> ikonia: hmm allright
[13:35] <mazda01> case__, i could let it grow on me as I have Ubuntu over the last 5 years. don't need MS anymore. LOL
[13:35] <ikonia> case__: just having a little more in depth look
[13:35] <tx909> compapps this is the same as xchat
[13:35] <tx909> are u following me compapps?
[13:35] <ikonia> mazda01: we don't need this converation in #ubuntu - it's a support channel, pleae keep that for #ubuntu-offtopic
[13:35] <genoobie> hey everybody
[13:35] <case__> mazda01: geh, I switched about a week ago from Windows7. It's still active in my grub options
[13:35] <genoobie> I'm using pcman
[13:36] <case__> ikonia: thanks
[13:36] <genoobie> but I have  a network drive and I also have a ton of pics that I'd like to be able to see thumbnails
[13:36] <genoobie> doesn't seem like pcman is very good at this
[13:36] <mazda01> case__, aweseome for you
[13:36] <genoobie> are there other filemanagers that don't require gnome / kde but have that functionality
[13:37] <case__> mazda01: the reason was that i had to work with an Apple macbook pro for work btw
[13:37] <ikonia> case__: the bugs appear to be across distributions and linked to the xorg/ati interactions with new gnome3 design
[13:37] <ikonia> case__: there are older bugs for gnome2 but they appear to be fixible to an extent
[13:37] <case__> mazda01: which made me realize I needed a good shell :)
[13:37] <mazda01> case__, ah, makes sense
[13:37] <ljuspunkt> cousin_luigi: it isn't that dangerous since the rc.local-file is meant to start stuff which isn't covered by the normal startscript-procedure. The only thing you have to remember is that you used this file, it should be empty on a standard installation
[13:37] <mazda01> case__, I have plenty of VM's (Oracles running Vbox) in my ubuntu machines for windows and osx
[13:37] <resonantsky> oh well :)
[13:38] <resonantsky> maybe ikonia can help me...
[13:38] <case__> ikonia: are those bugs still active? Is someone looking at them?
[13:38] <resonantsky> when he/she is done with everyone else ;)
[13:38] <ikonia> guys - this is a support channel, please take the stories to #ubuntu-offtopic
[13:38] <ikonia> case__: they are, however keep in mind that the ati component is closed source,
[13:38] <case__> ikonia: I see
[13:38] <mazda01> ikonia, sorry
[13:38] <mazda01> case__, if you want to chat im over there in #ubuntu-offtopic
[13:38] <ikonia> case__: xorg appears to have set out an interaction api for xinerama and duel headed configs, it looks like some of the changes/interactions just haven't caught up/been made yet
[13:39] <genoobie> dolphin?
[13:39] <case__> mazda01: my daughter just woke up :) So I have to go
[13:39] <mazda01> case__, LOL, take care
[13:39] <mazda01> case__, i am dannyboy79 on ubuntuforums.org
[13:40] <case__> mazda01: ok! I don't have an account yet
[13:40] <mazda01> case__, if you want help and not live help, get an account. just my opinion
[13:40] <resonantsky> ikonia, can you?
[13:41] <mazda01> case__, it's helpful for those support questions where you don't need it immediatly, so you can post a thread and leave. when you come back most likely it's answered
[13:41] <ikonia> resonantsky: can I what ?
[13:41] <resonantsky> ikonia: help me out?
[13:41] <ikonia> resonantsky: no idea, what's the issue ?
[13:41] <resonantsky> using unity my gui locks up when manipulating files/directories, i think its a file ownership/rights issue
[13:42] <ikonia> resonantsky: that's odd
[13:42] <resonantsky> when using gnome-fallback its ok
[13:42] <ikonia> resonantsky: can you give me an example
[13:42] <ikonia> resonantsky: what file are you trying to modify and how ?
[13:42] <resonantsky> ikonia: i'm using thunar/nautilus to edit a file or remove it, and the system locks, i have to use a vty to login and htop to kill compiz/unity and then it works
[13:42] <dinar_> hello. i had upgraded ubuntu 9 10 to 10 04 and that installation maybe was hacked. now i have made fresh installation. and see differences. and i see that in old installation was linux 2.6.32-37  but in new it is only 2.6.32-36  .  can it be so?  i have checked with main repository in new installation , but it is ...-36.   may be that 37 th version was there but then was canceled?
[13:42] <resonantsky> ikonia: the actual file operation succeeds... but it locks up every time.
[13:43] <resonantsky> ikonia: same happens when using a term to rmdir/rm mv etc
[13:43] <ikonia> dinar_: sounds like you had the experimental/proposed repo enabled
[13:43] <ikonia> resonantsky: is it any file or just certain files
[13:43] <resonantsky> ikona - any file and any directory, even creating directories, it freezes when i try to name the directory
[13:43] <resonantsky> ikonia: any file
[13:43] <ikonia> resonantsky: ok, if I ask you to do a test with me now, can you do that ?
[13:44] <resonantsky> ikonia: sure thing :]
[13:44] <dinar_> ikonia, thank you, indeed , there were proposed updates in old install
[13:44] <ikonia> resonantsky: ok - open a terminal and enter your home drive
[13:44] <resonantsky> ikonia: thanks :]
[13:44] <ikonia> resonantsky: home directory sorry
[13:44] <resonantsky> ikonia: ready
[13:44] <ikonia> resonantsky: ok - can you pastebin the output of "ls -la" for me in that directory
[13:45] <resonantsky> ikonia: i think i found it here, the problem
[13:45] <ikonia> resonantsky: ok, do tell
[13:45] <resonantsky> ikonia: i will pastebin if wrong
[13:45] <resonantsky> ikonia: my username is 'codex' the group i am in for many of the dirs/files is 1001
[13:46] <resonantsky> ikonia: some others are 'codex' as group, some are 'root' as group
[13:46] <ikonia> resonantsky: ok, so it looks like that group has been removed (whatever 1001 was)
[13:46] <ikonia> resonantsky: root isn't good in your home directory
[13:46] <user1> i dont know WTF Is wrong with flash players. as soon as i open a youtube video or any streaming flash ( may also be a animationof news website ) the cpu overloads to 100% and machine stops. occurs both on windows and ubuntu. why?
[13:46] <ikonia> resonantsky: the missing group 1001 also isn't good
[13:46] <resonantsky> ikonia: sometimes i sudo to create files, i will try to keep those sudo'ed files elsewhere...
[13:46] <ikonia> user1: tone down the language please
[13:46] <conntrack> ha!
[13:46] <ikonia> resonantsky: ok - lets do a tidy up
[13:47] <resonantsky> ikonia: ok :)
[13:47] <ikonia> resonantsky: can you paste in the channel the output of the comannd "id"
[13:47] <resonantsky> uid=1000(codex) gid=1000(codex) groups=1000(codex),0(root),4(adm),20(dialout),24(cdrom),27(sudo),29(audio),44(video),46(plugdev),116(lpadmin),118(admin),119(pulse),120(pulse-access),124(sambashare)
[13:47] <user1> ikonia: will do only on getting resolution
[13:47] <froes> hi guys. is ubuntu able to do software raid ? like zfs or something ?
[13:47] <ikonia> user1: no - you'll tone it down or leave the channel
[13:48] <ikonia> froes: zfs isn't raid
[13:48] <ikonia> froes: ubuntu can do software raid though
[13:48] <user1> ikonia: ok rephrasing it - i dont know WTS Is wrong with flash players. as soon as i open a youtube video or any streaming flash ( may also be a animationof news website ) the cpu overloads to 100% and machine stops. occurs both on windows and ubuntu. why?
[13:48] <ikonia> resonantsky: do "sudo chown -R codex:codex /home/codex"
[13:48] <ikonia> user1: WTS ?
[13:48] <user1> ikonia: not needed for you
[13:48] <resonantsky> ikonia: aahh thats the mistake i made :)
[13:49] <ikonia> user1: I've sent you a pm - please repond before continuing to use the channel
[13:50] <resonantsky> ikonia: i get permission denid on a file called /home/codex/.gvfs
[13:50] <ikonia> resonantsky: once you've done that "sudo chmod -R 755 /home/codex"
[13:50] <arlo> hello, im trying to install ubuntu i gets thats error on installation unable to open /dev/sda
[13:50] <ikonia> resonantsky: don't worry about .gvfs, rebooting will clear that up
[13:50] <user1> ikonia: ok rephrasing it - i dont know what Is wrong with flash players. as soon as i open a youtube video or any streaming flash ( may also be a animationof news website ) the cpu overloads to 100% and machine stops. occurs both on windows and ubuntu. why?
[13:51] <resonantsky> ikonia: ahh the directory structure looks much better... my console colours also have less red in them ;)
[13:51] <ikonia> resonantsky: understandibly
[13:51] <ikonia> resonantsky: ok, now lets do a quick test
[13:51] <ikonia> resonantsky: do the command "touch ikonia"
[13:51] <ikonia> resonantsky: you should have a file called ikonia
[13:51] <ikonia> resonantsky: did it freeze ?
[13:52] <resonantsky> yep
[13:52] <ikonia> resonantsky: it did freeze ?
[13:52] <resonantsky> ikonia: yes it frooze
[13:52] <arlo> hello, im trying to install ubuntu i gets thats error on installation unable to open /dev/sda anyone can help me?
[13:52] <arlo> im new to ubuntu
[13:52] <ikonia> resonantsky: ok - and that was in the terminal
[13:52] <resonantsky> ikonia: i had to crtl+alt+f2 and htop , now my unity panel etc is gone
[13:53] <resonantsky> ikonia: if it freezes again i'm going to have to log, the file ikonia exists
[13:53] <Giggaflop> http://www.myfacewhen.com/399/
[13:53] <ikonia> resonantsky: so the whole machine isn't freezing, just the desktop
[13:53] <ikonia> Giggaflop: please don't spam
[13:53] <resonantsky> ikonia: yep exactly
[13:53] <ikonia> resonantsky: ok - so lets go back a little more basic
[13:53] <ikonia> resonantsky: can you disable compiz/desktop effects
[13:53] <resonantsky> ikonia: ok
[13:54] <mazda01> ikonia, are you buy chance from dallas? maybe france?
[13:54] <resonantsky> ikonia: probably not without rebooting
[13:54] <mazda01> ikonia, buy = by
[13:54] <resonantsky> ikonia: untiy --replace?
[13:54] <ikonia> mazda01: I've told you the topic of this channel
[13:54] <paolonibus> ciaoooo
[13:54] <ikonia> resonantsky: ok - do a reboot and disable any desktop effects you have enabled
[13:54] <ikonia> resonantsky: (keep in mind I don't know what you have enabled since install, so I'm being a little generic)
[13:55] <resonantsky> ikonia:  i can promise you it has to do with compiz
[13:55] <resonantsky> ikonia: because using gnome-fallback or xfce session i don't get the problem
[13:55] <ikonia> resonantsky: I don't doubt you, that's why I'm saying lets strip it back a little
[13:55] <mazda01> ikonia, LOL, you're right. YOU HAVE. take care bud, im know what's going on. im not stupid despite what you THINK  you know about me
[13:55] <ikonia> resonantsky: what video card do you have ?
[13:55] <mazda01> ikonia, have a nice day
[13:55] <resonantsky> ikonia: its an old intel gma 950
[13:55] <ikonia> resonantsky: Hmm, they normally have quite good support
[13:56] <resonantsky> ikonia: i don't think its drivers, could it be some kind of compiz directory issue, seeing as .compiz-1 exists in that directory...
[13:56] <ikonia> resonantsky: doubt it's a directory issue
[13:56] <mazda01> ikonia, federal charges can be sought if I wanted to pursue this. last comment. you have nice day
[13:56] <resonantsky> ikonia: so would you like me to now log and rejoin after disabling compiz?
[13:57] <resonantsky> ikonia: let me do that...
[13:57] <resonantsky> ikonia: brb
[13:57] <ikonia> resonantsky: take your time
[13:57] <arlo> hello, im trying to install ubuntu i gets thats error on installation unable to open /dev/sda anyone can help me - im new to ubuntu.
[13:59] <Snii> There is a feature in Ubuntu where I can select programs that will autorun on login. Is it possible to change these items from the console/some file? I cannot log in to my system anymore.
[13:59] <user1> repost - i dont know what Is wrong with flash players. as soon as i open a youtube video or any streaming flash ( may also be a animationof news website ) the cpu overloads to 100% and machine stops. occurs both on windows and ubuntu. why?
[13:59] <resonantsky> ikonia: ok, no more compiz... gnome-fallback, although unity is still running because of my startup scripts... it doesn't load automatically
[14:00] <resonantsky> ikonia: let me know when we can continue :]
[14:00] <ikonia> resonantsky: ok, same test touch ikonia-1
[14:00] <inashdeen> hi, is there any freelance programmer around interested to build a new linux shell? I would love to speak to them if any
[14:00] <resonantsky> ikonia: no problem, file is created, no freezing
[14:00] <user1> inashdeen: yes
[14:00] <oCean> inashdeen: that's offtopic here
[14:00] <ikonia> inashdeen: please don't advertise in this cahnnel
[14:00] <krieg1> rofl
[14:01] <inashdeen> ok sorry, will move to offtopic
[14:01] <ikonia> resonantsky: ok, so you appear to be in the ball park on your reasoning
[14:01] <user1> inashdeen: please ping me. i am interested
[14:01] <ikonia> resonantsky: can you reboot back into unity again with 3d support
[14:01] <Kurdistan> hi. which fonts are ubuntu using by default?
[14:01] <inashdeen> done :)
[14:01] <resonantsky> ikonia: i'm not a bad batter, but i'm better  at outfielding...
[14:01] <resonantsky> ikonia: brb ;)
[14:01] <Kurdistan> my xubuntu 11.10 fonts looks bad with firefox/chrome
[14:02] <majnoon> anyone have experience with  bttv  cards (analog) tv/radio ??
[14:02] <n4dsp> I know I can go to www.help.ubuntu and download the User's Guide that show some commands like 'apt-get' BUT is there a book that shows commands by learn by doing?
[14:03] <resonantsky> ikonia: and then? :]
[14:03] <ikonia> resonantsky: back in unity ?
[14:03] <resonantsky> ikonia: back in unity+compiz... wobbly windows enabled :s
[14:04] <resonantsky> ikonia: damn those wobbly windows... one you start with them...
[14:04] <ikonia> resonantsky: ok - can you get rid of all the effects like wobbly windows, strip it down as far as it goes
[14:04] <VCoolio> Snii: those are in ~/.config/autostart
[14:04] <resonantsky> ikonia: just the 'general' checkboxes then?
[14:04] <ikonia> resonantsky: as little as you can
[14:04] <ikonia> resonantsky: trying to see if it's compiz at the root or one of the effects
[14:05] <resonantsky> ikonia: 'file watcher?'
[14:05] <resonantsky> ikonia: was enabled
[14:05] <ikonia> resonantsky: (shamefully) I don't know what that plugin is, so I'll say yes, blanket
[14:05] <Kurdistan> any one setting on ubuntu and can look up the default fonts it uses?
[14:05] <resonantsky> ikonia: your helping for sure
[14:05] <ikonia> resonantsky: get rid of as much as possible
[14:05] <ikonia> resonantsky: then we can work forward
[14:06] <Kurdistan> I find my answer on askubuntu.
[14:06] <resonantsky> ikonia: i'll disable all hang on
[14:06] <resonantsky> ikonia: its a mission because unity just crashed and all
[14:06] <ikonia> resonantsky: I know it's frustrating
[14:07] <resonantsky> ikonia: frustrated? i worked in IT support for 7 years... i know the feeling
[14:07] <resonantsky> ikonia: this'll take a couple minutes, thanks for your help
[14:07] <sonuvthomas> i m  using ubuntu 10.04 how to reinstall grub from live cd
[14:07] <ikonia> resonantsky: I'm going nowhere
[14:07] <iceroot> !grub | sonuvthomas
[14:08] <sonuvthomas> k
[14:08] <sonuvthomas> thanks
[14:08] <resonantsky> ikonia: cssm now closes if i try to uncheck anything more
[14:08] <ManDay> How would I transparently mount a directory (which itsself is not a mountpoint) somewhere?
[14:08] <resonantsky> ikonia: it also doesn't uncheck any more options
[14:08] <ikonia> resonantsky: close as in "exit crash" or close as in " all is done, I'm closing"
[14:09] <resonantsky> ikonia: it doesn't say anything on the terminal running it, the last line of output is 'initializing vpswitch options...done'
[14:09] <ikonia> resonantsky: ok, lets re-run the test
[14:10] <if> grrr
[14:10] <if> ;)
[14:10] <resonantsky> ikonia: touch ikonia works with no issues... i think its one of the settings under 'utility'
[14:10] <ikonia> resonantsky: can you remove ikonia
[14:10] <resonantsky> ikonia: done
[14:11] <resonantsky> ikonia: let me enable 'file watcher' under utilities and see if its causing the issue
[14:11] <ikonia> resonantsky: ok - so we are now in a much small but more tedious ball park
[14:11] <ikonia> resonantsky: that's the idea, one at a time (only ever having one enabled) go through them
[14:11] <ikonia> resonantsky: then if that's all clear, move through it one at a time adding a new one each time
[14:11] <ikonia> resonantsky: so you end up with 1+1+1+1+1+1
[14:11] <ikonia> where as the first test is 1-1+1-1+1
[14:11] <ManDay> (nvm my question)
[14:12] <resonantsky> ikonia: ok :) i think i can continue helping myself with this...
[14:12] <resonantsky> ikonia: thanks a bunch :)
[14:12] <ikonia> resonantsky: yeah, you see where I am going
[14:12] <Snii> VCoolio: thanks, that helped :)
[14:12] <resonantsky> ikonia: know a good compiz manpage?
[14:12] <ikonia> resonantsky: there used to be a good wiki page
[14:13] <resonantsky> ikonia: its cool i'll google it...
[14:13] <ikonia> !ccsm
[14:16] <n4dsp> Is there a book that teaches the commands by learning by doing?
[14:16] <BluesKaj> Hey all
[14:17] <n4dsp> I will ask later
[14:18] <resonantsky> ah, thats better...
[14:18] <resonantsky> ikonia: all better... loaded compiz defaults
[14:18] <ikonia> resonantsky: nice idea
[14:18] <ikonia> resonantsky: defaults are normally fallsafe
[14:19] <resonantsky> ikonia: i think it was the D-bus...
[14:19] <ikonia> resonantsky: really, what do you think that ?
[14:19] <resonantsky> ikonia: its off now, a D-bus utility plugin... because its the one that was enabled, which is now disabled that I couldn't disable without the window closing
[14:20] <ikonia> resonantsky: ahh the dbus plugin, rather than dbugs
[14:20] <ikonia> dbus
[14:20] <ikonia> resonantsky: that is possible
[14:21] <resonantsky> ikonia: i just keep realizing the more i do in linux out of ignorance the more problems i create for myself... default settings are good for something ;)
[14:21] <oneliner> hello there i can boot from live cd without any problems and conclude installation successfuly but cannot boot the system afterward
[14:21] <zatan> Hi, is there anyway that i can restart ubuntu, but keep my all windows opened as it was before ?
[14:21] <ikonia> resonantsky: they are not a bad place to start, and always a good place to fall back to
[14:21] <resonantsky> ikonia: definately ;]
[14:21] <dr_willis> zatan:  there used to bea 'save session' features.. but it had issues..
[14:22] <resonantsky> ikonia: thanks again mate!
[14:22] <dr_willis> zatan:  not even sure where the setting is at in gnome any more
[14:22] <bahr> Has anybody experienced small consistent "breaks" while streaming .pls files with banshee, vlc. etc? I'm listening to Digitally Imported, and the stream makes a break every 1-2 minute or so
[14:22] <zatan> dr_willis, thanks i will check on google
[14:22] <oneliner> i believe it can be two things, video drivers (nvidia gtx 550 ti) and a gpt partition (2tb drive), any one wants to give me some pointers id appreciate
[14:22] <ikonia> resonantsky: any time
[14:23] <Sidewinder1> Mornin' BluesKaj
[14:24] <magesing> Hi everyone, I am trying to make a bootable ubuntu USB stick using http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download, however, I am running debian and not ubuntu, so I do not have the startup disk creator utility... How do I correctly configure grub on a usb key to boot the live ubuntu distribution?
[14:24] <BluesKaj> hi Sidewinder1
[14:24] <menak> hi
[14:24] <menak> i
[14:24] <resonantsky> ikonia: one last thing, when using chown is it imperative to include the user group (user:group) ? before I just used the username...
[14:25] <ikonia> resonantsky: it's "better" to do both, but the group can be excluded
[14:25] <ikonia> resonantsky: just good practice
[14:25] <resonantsky> ikonia: it fixed my folders proper, i had just used the username before and it was a little different
[14:26] <Acorn> What's the best way to switch to the chromium beta channel on ubuntu?
[14:26] <resonantsky> ikonia: for instance now i own my .wine directory when before it belonged to root and i couldn't change it... is there some precedence when including the usergroup in that sense?
[14:27] <oneliner> sorry if this looks like trolling but i realised the two separate statements where hard to read>> hello there i can boot from live cd without any problems and conclude installation successfuly but cannot boot the system afterward i believe it can be two things, video drivers (nvidia gtx 550 ti) and a gpt partition (2tb drive), any one wants to give me some pointers id appreciate
[14:27] <ikonia> resonantsky: again - that should be$user:$group
[14:27] <Sidewinder1> Acorn, Just /join the channel-that-you-want..
[14:27] <ikonia> resonantsky: from a file system point of view, root is just another user
[14:27] <przemysaw> hi
[14:27] <Acorn> Sidewinder1: haha, not irc channel, the build channel of the program, ie. stable/beta/dev/canary
[14:28] <resonantsky> ikonia: yep, in this case including the group made it permissable to change those rights... which is most important,
[14:28] <Sidewinder1> Acorn, Oops, sorry.. :D
[14:28] <ikonia> resonantsky: good good, try to keep with that good practice if you can
[14:28] <resonantsky> ikonia: will do :]
[14:29] <eve_> где я ?
[14:30] <icq> hey guys
[14:30] <cousin_luigi> Is there a way to have certain folders not indexed for the dash menu?
[14:30] <icq> I just upgraded to ubuntu 11.10
[14:30] <icq> and for some reason the x server is not running
[14:30] <icq> and I get this problem watching the log:
[14:31] <icq> ddxSigGiveUp: Closing log
[14:31] <opticlove> where can i read the system logs on the last shutdown?
[14:31] <icq> any idea about it?
[14:33] <iceroot> opticlove: /var/log/syslog
[14:34] <iceroot> icq: any output from "sudo service gdm start"?
[14:34] <iceroot> icq: any output from "sudo service lightdm start"?
[14:34] <icq> iceroot, the weird thing is that I just tried startx and it worked
[14:34] <conntrack> tut, tut, tut all the technology
[14:34] <icq> iceroot, gimme a minute I'll restart and have a look again
[14:36] <icq> iceroot, service gdm start does not say anything important
[14:36] <arlo> hello im try to install ubuntu it says unable to open /dev/da ?
[14:37] <icq> just that it started the process
[14:37] <arlo> dev/sda ?
[14:37] <Gerges> hey
[14:37] <arlo> yes no
[14:38] <arlo> its loading
[14:38] <arlo> and i click esc i can see error there
[14:38] <icq> and lightdm it is not a recognized service
[14:39] <przemysaw> Hello, jest tu ktoś z Polski?
[14:39] <xiexie> hi folks
[14:39] <ActionParsnip> !pl
[14:40] <xiexie> could anyone hel me the link where I could find security features go with version, e.g. NX go with Ubuntu version xxx?
[14:40] <xiexie> *help
[14:40] <Radith> Wooy
[14:41] <ActionParsnip> xiexie: you could look at the changelog on launchpad I guess
[14:41] <opticlove> is there a way to see the messages that appear when shutting down?
[14:41] <Gerbes> like
[14:41] <ActionParsnip> opticlove: maybe press ESC to make plymouth vanish
[14:41] <xiexie> ActionParsnip: okay, this one is better, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Security/Features/Historical
[14:44] <the_cyber_guy> some how i am unable to change icon theme and gtk theme on gnome 3 shell with onieric. what has could've gone wrong ?
[14:44] <jdavidboyd> I installed ubuntu 11.10 on my acer netbook, and it worked fine.  But the network (wireless) keeps going away.  By which I mean that even though ubuntu says it is connected, nothing transfers, and web browsers and pings time out.  But ubuntu says the network is there, and connected at full speed.  Is there a hidden firewall somewhere I need to find?  And, sometimes it works.  Is this a buggy windows-type machine being the problem?
[14:45] <ActionParsnip> the_cyber_guy: use gnome-tweak-tool
[14:45] <ActionParsnip> jdavidboyd: can you ping 8.8.8.8 over the wifi?
[14:45] <the_cyber_guy> ActionParsnip: i am but still nothing happening. a while back everything was working fine
[14:46] <ActionParsnip> the_cyber_guy: or you can use dconf-editor
[14:46] <the_cyber_guy> ActionParsnip: i think i have once ran gnome-tweak-tool with root permission. could it be the reason ?
[14:46] <bastidrazor> dconf-editor or gconf-editor?
[14:46] <Gerbes> any cool softwares to customize ubuntu ?
[14:46] <ActionParsnip> the_cyber_guy: running it as root will change roots icon theme.....
[14:47] <ActionParsnip> Gerbes: what do you want to change?
[14:47] <the_cyber_guy> ActionParsnip: yes, but now even normal user themes are now gone. i m trying with gconf-editor now
[14:47] <oneliner> hey guys am really stomped on this one, i cant find a viable reason for this machine not to work properly, spanking new and boots live cd perfectly, but the installation never boots, anyone willing to give me a hand_
[14:47] <Gerbes> there was something that made the windows shake and so on
[14:48] <ActionParsnip> oneliner: what happens when you try to boot
[14:48] <ActionParsnip> Gerbes: install compizconfig-settings-manager  and enable wobbly windows
[14:48] <jdavidboyd> ActionParsnip: nah, ping 8.8.8.8 times out.
[14:49] <ActionParsnip> jdavidboyd: what wireless chip do you use?
[14:49] <oneliner> boot sequence seems to run properly, but it stops at the mauve colored screen, never gets to the splash screen and can go to any of the tty terminals nor get a cursor on screen
[14:50] <oneliner> ActionParsnip: i have two possible sources of culprit ,, one nvidia drivers for gtx 550 ti card, another, gpt partition (have efi compliant motherboard)
[14:50] <jdavidboyd> ActionParsnip: don't know how to tell without booting back into windows.   Ubuntu is using the ath9k driver.
[14:50] <ActionParsnip> oneliner: log in to unity2D and you can setup 3D accelleration if you need proprietary driver
[14:51] <ActionParsnip> jdavidboyd: run:  sudo lshw -C network    and it will tell you
[14:52] <ActionParsnip> oneliner: add the boot option:  nouveau.blacklist=1
[14:53] <oneliner> ActionParsnip: sorry lost me at log into unity2d
[14:53] <oneliner> ohh wait, reboot the live cd and tap any key while loading?
[14:53] <ActionParsnip> oneliner: if you don'y have 3D accelleration then unity won't run. You can log in to unity2D and it will run on any hardware
[14:54] <newguy> How do you get a camera on ubuntu working, what app. and stuff for like tinychat  and facebook
[14:55] <ActionParsnip> newguy: does it work in cheese?
[14:55] <newguy> whats cheese
[14:55] <theadmin> newguy: Um, you need Flash
[14:55] <ActionParsnip> !info cheese
[14:55] <ActionParsnip> newguy: if it works in cheese then the driver is already loaded
[14:55] <newguy> i need something that installs to the whole OS. so you can use any program
[14:55] <SuprEngr> In case anyone hasn't realised yet:  http://developers.slashdot.org/story/11/12/18/1425230/canonical-to-remove-sun-java-from-repositories-users-machines?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Slashdot%2Fslashdot+%28Slashdot%29
[14:55] <oneliner> sorry ActionParsnip please explain procedure for logging into unity 2d
[14:56] <theadmin> newguy: I tell you, to use the camera in browsers you likely need Flash
[14:56] <ActionParsnip> oneliner: its an option when you login
[14:56] <jdavidboyd> ActionParsnip: It says AR9285 Wureless Network Adapter
[14:56] <newguy> okwhat about avg antivirus, does it run in background on linux cause it named a list of tools
[14:56] <oneliner> erm, am confused, i cant loging, cant boot, do you mean live cd?
[14:56] <ActionParsnip> newguy: the default install installs a great deal, you can install apps as you desire in software centre
[14:56] <ActionParsnip> !av | newguy
[14:57] <oneliner> i was expecting i could try to chroot the install from live cd and install drivers permanently on system from there
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> !bootoptions | oneliner
[14:58] <ActionParsnip> oneliner: some nvidia chips don't like nouveau driver, so you can blacklist it with the boot option, you can then install the nvidia driver
[14:59] <oneliner> ActionParsnip: understood, will try, thanks
[15:00] <raidgh0st> Acer aspire one, 2GB of ram 500GB Hybriddisk 4GB swap. Would ubuntu remix run okey without slowness?
[15:01] <ActionParsnip> raidgh0st: sure, thats more than anything I have
[15:01] <blackshirt> Yeah,i think
[15:01] <cloudgeek> asidgh0st:yeah sure
[15:01] <ActionParsnip> raidgh0st: only needs 2Gb swap really, unless you anticipate using a tonne of ram
[15:01] <raidgh0st> I was wrong in my writing.
[15:02] <raidgh0st> It i a 500GB Hybriddisk where 4GB is ssd flash
[15:02] <cloudgeek> raidgh0st:yep (y) , i also same system without no prob
[15:02] <raidgh0st> cloudgeek: how is youtube and watching diff movie formats
[15:02] <raidgh0st> Ive tried watching my preedited home movie (MKV)
[15:03] <raidgh0st> and it was a sadness.
[15:03] <raidgh0st> And the STLAB company makes trash.
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> raidgh0st: what GPU does it have?
[15:04] <raidgh0st> it has a 950 or 900
[15:04] <raidgh0st> gma
[15:04] <raidgh0st> intel something
[15:04] <ActionParsnip> raidgh0st: should be ok
[15:04] <raidgh0st> intel graphics media accelerator 500
[15:05] <raidgh0st> I`ve heard that there`s no driver for that card in ubuntu, that works 100% on the fly
[15:06] <cloudgeek> raidh0st: it working fine for video , but my work is developing , and coding
[15:06] <cloudgeek> raidh0st: it fine and best for me , i think for you too :)
[15:07] <raidgh0st> cloudgeek: could you play 720P?
[15:07] <Promethes> hi, i want window buttons on the right in Oneiric, ive set it up but Google Chrome still have this buttons on the left, anyone knows how to fix this?
[15:08] <theadmin> Promethes: Try Settings -> Under the hood -> Use system window borders
[15:08] <cloudgeek> raidh0st: yep 1024 also working here
[15:09] <raidgh0st> 1024? i dont speak resolution
[15:09] <Promethes> theadmin: but i want to have Google Chrome native window borders not gtk
[15:09] <raidgh0st> I wanna know if its posible to watch a mkv 720P without frame by frame picture by picture
[15:09] <raidgh0st> It is so * annoying.
[15:09] <theadmin> Promethes: Then I don't think you can do anything, really, it's native borders are hardcoded and you can't change how they look
[15:11] <Promethes> theadmin: in ubuntu 11.04 those butons were on the right side of the window, in 11.10 on left, i upgraded yesterday my ubuntu from 11.04 to 11.10, google chrome package was not reinstalled or modified in any way
[15:11] <theadmin> Promethes: Uh, you think?... Hm... I dunno. Do you get the same stuff in Chromium?
[15:12] <mariusz_> hej jak tam
[15:13] <Promethes> theadmin: i will check
[15:13] <paulina> aha
[15:13] <paulina> tAK
[15:15] <Promethes> theadmin: in chromium those buttons are on left side too
[15:15] <Satin> does anybody know the right software to download to use the internet in 10.04.3 LTS?
[15:15] <theadmin> Promethes: Hm, okay, check the installed package list for anything related to that
[15:15] <paulina> AHA
[15:15] <theadmin> Satin: lolwut?
[15:17] <Promethes> theadmin: in 11.04 and previous versions there was Ubuntu Tweak option for this, now i just changed gtk theme to Advaita
[15:18] <Satin> theadmin, i am at a motel with wifi and i just installed 10.04.3 LTS. should the install come with the right software to us the wifi here, or do i need to setup the connection in the wireless editor
[15:18] <Promethes> theadmin: btw buttons on the left is only a ubuntu feature or is this also by default in Gnome3?
[15:18] <theadmin> Promethes: No, vanilla Gnome3 has them on the right
[15:19] <Satin> in the terminal how do i find the mac address
[15:20] <marisn> Satin: ifconfig
[15:21] <marisn> ideas why nm-applet is not running by default?
[15:22] <theadmin> Satin: ifconfig, search for HWaddr
[15:23] <Satin> Pici, please read to 'theadmin'
[15:23] <MetaJake> might anyone be able to recommend a fast, comprehensive, from the ground up learning/teaching/tutorial style introduction book to C programming?
[15:23] <theadmin> Satin: Also, wi-fi works out of the box with most chipsets
[15:23] <marisn> MetaJake: K&R?
[15:24] <MetaJake> Marisn, What is K&R?
[15:25] <llutz> kernighan ritchie
[15:25] <nb-ben> MetaJake, the internet's web is the most extensive book you can find about C
[15:26] <jaypro> i want to copy the contents of one harddrive to another using ddrescue, but fdisk shows unrecognized disk volume for both hard drives... should i just force the ddrescue?
[15:26] <jaypro> ddrescue /dev/sdb /dev/sda??
[15:26] <nb-ben> or almost any programming language for that matter... the books I bought sit in the shelf
[15:26] <MetaJake> nb-ben, "googling fast complete guide to C"
[15:26] <nb-ben> MetaJake, why do you need the complete guide?
[15:27] <nb-ben> MetaJake, why not read a getting started tutorial, then read a "create an irc bot" tutorial, and then go for another topic, finding completely different guides on the net
[15:27] <paulina> hej jak tam
[15:27] <oCean> MetaJake: I don't see how yours is an #ubuntu issue. There's specific channels such as ##C and ##programming
[15:27] <nb-ben> I am sure different websites cover different topics better than just one exclusive guide
[15:28] <MetaJake> ocean, thank you
[15:28] <xrdodrx> Can anyone test a program I wrote to see if it works on a default Ubuntu install? It's in Python if you want to check the sources, I wrote it for one of my classes: (run the lottery file) http://www.mediafire.com/?kaa23lorcs3l4am
[15:28] <oCean> !pl | paulina
[15:28] <oCean> xrdodrx: pleaes use #ubuntu-offtopic for that
[15:29] <xrdodrx> oCean, okay
[15:29] <xrdodrx> sorry
[15:29] <oCean> np
[15:29] <paulina> aha

[15:49] <popey> AndrewW: is it a wacom tablet (the screen)?
[15:49] <AndrewW> Im not sure, I think so
[15:49] <popey> AndrewW: if so i think you can use xsetwacom to rotate the input device
[15:50] <ashmew2> How can i make a small script for GUI Automation for entering data in the system dialogs that Ubuntu asks me for ?
[15:50] <AndrewW> Ok. I'll try that

[15:51] <bad_alloc> Hi, I'm trying to backup a C++ project to a harddrive somthere on the network. I'd like to always have an exact copy of the current project status on the remote drive, so files I remove locally shall also be removed on the network drive. How do I do this with rsync? Currently I've got rsync -avh [source] [target] but that doesn't remove files. (Furthermore, nothing must be changed by rsync in the local directo

[15:52] <bad_alloc> mongy: only rsync --delete [source] [target] ?

[16:16] <WindowsMojave> Hey guy's :)
[16:17] <WindowsMojave> Anyone looking for quality paid web hosting?  I need some clients.
[16:17] <WindowsMojave> Just launched my host Wednesday
[16:18] <n4dsp> top menu bar has a red triangle that when clicked on it downloads upgrades. What are these upgrades? Thought Ubuntu does it automatically
[16:18] <MrPopinjay> Does anyone know an idiot proof for batch encoding files to FLAC? flac isn't overly helpful as I don't know what values to specify for half the options, there are no defaults and the man page gives no examples.
[16:19] <oCean> WindowsMojave: don't advertise here, thank you
[16:20] <BluesKaj> MrPopinjay, try soundKonverter , it's kde app , but there may be agnome equivalent in your package manager
[16:20] <MrPopinjay> Thanks BluesKaj, I'll have a look now
[16:20] <Mjondras> Hi, I'm an ubuntu newbie. I need some help on wrapping my head around the terminal. And also on getting a driver for my touchpad.
[16:22] <MrPopinjay> BluesKaj, Aha, it's here. This looks like what I'm after, thank you
[16:22] <Satin> what does 'error 22' mean while booting
[16:22] <mariusz_> HEJ
[16:23] <PAULINA> hej
[16:23] <caio> hi guys
[16:23] <rbg> hola
[16:23] <King_Ozzy> hi
[16:23] <Satin> hi
[16:24] <caio> i installed ubuntu on my machine, but in boot it shows a error
[16:26] <caio> i will try again later... but, anybody received an error message after installed it with wubi?
[16:26] <CharminTheMoose> I'm having a problem firefox and X's sloppy focus. The menus (File, Edit, View) and the right click menu just disappear when mousing over them, so I can't click on anything in those menus, though surfing the web works fine, for the most part.
[16:26] <monkinto> Nope I have installed ubuntu multiple times and have never had an error on startup
[16:28] <MrPopinjay> BluesKaj, Why is this program around 200meg? :o
[16:28] <zacktu> how can i remove all files in my ubuntuone repository?
[16:29] <Satin> caio, what error did you get
[16:29] <mongy> MrPopinjay, soundconverter can do it
[16:30] <MrPopinjay> mongy, Yeah, someone directed me to it :) I would like to know why it's 200meg in size though...
[16:30] <mongy> MrPopinjay, it's not.  the soundKonverter version might because of all the KDE libs it needs.
[16:30] <arlo__> hello are there apache expert here, my problem is i can not connect to my domain with www but with mydomain.dk is working , this is my apache code : http://pastebin.com/JsAjab24
[16:31] <conntrack> Oh bugger
[16:31] <conntrack> I lost some photos :(
[16:32] <mongy> arlo, could it be as simple as having the directory called www.mydomain.dk
[16:33] <schnuffle> arlo: add a ServerAlias for the www domain
[16:33] <arlo__> mongy no
[16:33] <arlo__> my directory  name mydomain.dk
[16:34] <arlo__> but i can not connect to my browser with www
[16:34] <mongy> arlo, set an alias
[16:34] <schnuffle> arlo__:  ServerAlias www.mydomain.dk
[16:34] <arlo__>  yes right
[16:34] <arlo__> 2 sek i try
[16:34] <arlo__> :-)
[16:34] <tsets> I got 10Gs of unallocated disk space, I'm trying to create that space as a ext4 partition, but whenever I do that, it also creates a 1 mb of unallocated space.  Is that normal or is there any way to use that 1 meg?
[16:35] <MrPopinjay> These programs are all pretty trashy. I wish TLH was avalible for linux
[16:35] <Cube``> popey: lol
[16:36] <escott> tsets, you can allocate it but you probably dont. its trying to maintain alignment. if you arent aligned the drive will be much much slower
[16:36] <LemonAid> tsets, i believe it`s normal.
[16:37] <arlo__> Thanks mongy and schnuffle is working :-)
[16:37] <mongy> MrPopinjay, soundconverter can encode all your files to what you want and put them into folders based on the artist/album name, and uses multiple threads.  what more does it need to do
[16:38] <tsets> Well thanks, I guess is normal then, because with gparted don't allow me to set the "free space preceding option" to less than 1
[16:39] <MrPopinjay> mongy, The interface is a bit clunky by comparison, it works with fewer file formats and there are fewer options. It does the job but it's not as good as what I would normally be using.
[16:40] <mongy> MrPopinjay,  try arista, I believe it can do audio as well as video.  soundKonverter, the kde version, is a bit more bells and whistles than the gnome version
[16:42] <Sidewinder1> caio, Don't use WUBI!
[16:42] <D-coy> =S
[16:42] <escott> tsets, there is a checkbox for 1mb alignment in gparted, but if dont do 1mb alignment make sure you are properly aligned for your disk
[16:42] <Sidewinder1> :D
[16:43] <daniel_mircea> hi does anyone know where i can get some help on a broken /etc/sudoers file on ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS Live USB with persistent storage ?
[16:43] <daniel_mircea> or can someone help ?
[16:43] <zacktu> can i delete all of the files in my ubuntuone repository so that I can sync everything again?
[16:44] <linux-admin> :D
[16:45] <schnuffle> daniel_mircea: use visudo -c to check the file for errors
[16:45] <Sidewinder1> Daniel0108, I'm on 10.04, but, what did you do to the "sudoers" file, to cause thew problem? I know, that doesn't really help, but it's a start.
[16:46] <tsets> Thanks all for the help!  I made it, I just deleted it and recreated  it as a primary partition
[16:46] <daniel_mircea> schnuffle: visudo -c spills out : visudo: unable to open /etc/sudoers: Input/output error
[16:46] <dnalfuak> hi, i am need help
[16:46] <Scarra3> alright I am having some trouble with my graphics card I just installed ubuntu and installed the restricted drivers but it seem like I have 2 choices NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (verstion current) [Recommened] or NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (post-release updates) (version current-updates)
[16:46] <fschuindt> someone knows how can I get my window border and top bar again without stop compiz?
[16:46] <escott> daniel_mircea, sounds like the filesystem on the usb is corrupted. usb dongles are not very stable for long term storage. you may have to rebuild the os on that usb
[16:46] <Scarra3> I don't know which one I should go with
[16:47] <hcsifnuht> dnalfuak: hi, is your problem with ubuntu?
[16:47] <daniel_mircea> escott: yeah.. so i've heard :))
[16:47] <dnalfuak> hcsifnuht:
[16:47] <Scarra3> Any ideas?
[16:47] <[random]> Hi guys. I'm a ubuntu newb and having a bit of problem with systems settings. Whatever change I make doesn't actually change anything. Anybody have insights how can I go about fixing this problem?
[16:48] <daniel_mircea> escott: from what i've searched the net i think a possible ..rather barbaric solution would be erasing casper-rw file on usb stick and making a fresh one
[16:48] <Sidewinder1> !details | [random]
[16:49] <escott> daniel_mircea, casper is the system disk image. so yes that would get rid of the os on the flash
[16:49] <[random]> sorry. I'm a little slow with CLI irc
[16:49] <[random]> it's 11.10
[16:49] <[random]> i'm trying to change appearance, time/date, mouse sensitivity, and language
[16:49] <Scarra3> I am running Ubuntu 11.10 and the integrated graphics driver is an NVIDIA GeForce 9100 and the one in my PCI Slot is an NVIDIA GeForce 210 I am trying to decide what driver I should use for the 210 NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (verstion current) [Recommened] or NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (post-release updates) (version current-updates)
[16:50] <airman00> I want to log the output of netstat -su every 15 seconds, what sort of bash command can do this?
[16:50] <Sidewinder1> [random], 'Tis OK, just state the problem with as many details as you can..
[16:50] <dannel> airman00, a cron job?
[16:50] <llutz> airman00: watch -n 15 netstat -su
[16:50] <airman00> llutz: thanks, that was it
[16:51] <[random]> i posted the problem on ubuntu forums but the person who replied suggested that i submit it as a bug and i'm not confident that it is one. so i came here
[16:51] <[random]> so after i make changes, nothing really changes. when i go back to systems settings, all the changes i made, like the options i checked or languages i added are still checked off
[16:52] <[random]> and uname gave me Linux T 3.0.0-14-generic #23-Ubuntu SMP Mon Nov 21 20:28:43 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[16:53] <[random]> when i first installed ubuntu i didn't have any problems
[16:53] <[random]> but after last couple of updates, everything kinda broke. my trackpad on my laptop doesn't work anymore. ubuntu doesn't recognize any of the removable storage devices
[16:54] <[random]> and i havne't tinkered with the kernal or anything yet since i'm not quite comfortable doing so
[16:55] <[random]> so there's my story/spam
[16:55] <[random]> wish i could give you more details but not sure what is quite relevant to the problem
[16:55] <Scarra3> Any ideas/.
[17:00] <kamilnadeem> Hi
[17:01] <kamilnadeem> How does one stop Ubuntu one from auto starting at startup in 11.10. ?

[17:02] <qcjn> hi, i've installed gnome-panel , on oneiric, but some tutorial seems to suggest gnome-session-fallback, is there one better ? and if i install gnome-session-fallback, must i uninstall gnome-panel ?
[17:03] <qcjn> or gnome-panel is like already integrated in session-fallback ?
[17:03] <Cradam> is there a way in gnome-panel to see the command behind the launcher?
[17:03] <ssta> gnmome-panel is a dependency of gnome-session-fallback
[17:04] <Acorn> how do you make an application start with focus when you launch it from the command line?
[17:04] <oxmox> what is wrong with samba ????
[17:04] <Cradam> n/m found it
[17:04] <qcjn> ssta, sp there s no problem in installing gnome-session-fallback, it will just not install gnome-panelsince it s already there
[17:04] <ssta> qcjn: yes
[17:04] <qcjn> ssta, thanks
[17:05] <ssta> oxmox: I take it you mean besides it being an implementation of an absolutely awful protocol?

[17:06] <oCean> benahmed: do you have a support question?
[17:06] <benahmed> no
[17:08] <ssta> what happens when you try to install samba?  (they conflist IIRC)
[17:08] <N1ghtCrawler> what problems to expect if I add 11.10 repos to a 9.04 server?
[17:09] <oCean> N1ghtCrawler: *lots* of dependency issues and breakage, don't do it
[17:09] <oxmox> Please remove the smb.conf file and let provision generate it
[17:09] <itaylor57> N1ghtCrawler, a borked system
[17:09] <ssta> oxmox: have you tried that?
[17:09] <Scarra3> oCean: do you think you can help me with my issues with ubuntu 11.10
[17:10] <oxmox> i just installed it
[17:10] <N1ghtCrawler> Well, it seems like the 9.04 repos is shutdown :/ I would like to install some software on my server and I can't update the server...
[17:10] <oCean> Scarra3: sorry, I've hardly any knowledge of graphic controllers/drivers etc
[17:11] <oCean> N1ghtCrawler: repositories are moved to old-releases.ubuntu.com
[17:11] <Scarra3> alright thanks anyways do you happen to have experience with web cameras?
[17:11] <oCean> N1ghtCrawler: there are no updates, just the original packages there
[17:11] <oCean> Scarra3: nope, again sorry :(
[17:11] <N1ghtCrawler> well, should do it for me
[17:12] <oCean> Scarra3: maybe try later, in a couple of hours the channel might be busier
[17:12] <Scarra3> No problem im just trying to figure out how to get the microphone on the webcamera to work
[17:12] <xtgyal> wine is frozon on Ubuntu Lucid and xkill from Terminal doesn't work, how do i close it?

[17:17] <cousteau> just downloaded the crayon physics demo for Linux.  I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 64b.  The game is for 32b but it runs here, also it has some bundled libraries.  Howeve, when I run the game all I see is a white screen with a mouse pointer, with music playing.  I get no error messages, not even with gdb.  I'm not using composition, just plain Metacity.  What could be happening?
[17:18] <Scarra3> oCean: Do you know how I can tell if my graphics card is working properly?
[17:18] <oneliner>  so this is day 2 of my crusade to get an nvidia gtx 550 ti working on my new system, anyone wants to give me a hand, am stuck at : blank screen on boot
[17:18] <escott> !nomodeset | oneliner
[17:19] <cousteau> and when I run glxgears the gears run smoothly, I have accelerated graphics with the nvidia 96 driver
[17:19] <spencer_> i need some help!!! my left click stop working in unity :( works in lightdm sceen.
[17:22] <spencer_> seems like my udev is missing the hid rule.. can anyone help me?
[17:22] <oneliner> escott adding nomodeset to grub boot edit gives me : blinking cursor
[17:23] <escott> spencer_, its more likely you have something in your xmodmap that is disabling the click
[17:23] <spencer_> escott, where can i config that?
[17:24] <escott> spencer_, i would check if the click is appearing in xev, then start looking in your . files
[17:24] <spencer_> ok.. let me check..
[17:25] <oneliner> will nomodeset also disable nouveau?
[17:25] <satty> hey guys
[17:26] <doritoDan> Anybody know if there's a way to make application top bars as well as the leftmost launch sidebar NOT autohide?
[17:26] <spencer_> escott, what exactly should i be searching for
[17:26] <escott> oneliner, it doesn't disable anything about the graphics cards except for kernel modesetting
[17:26] <escott> spencer_, do you see the clicks in xev?
[17:26] <spencer_> where is xev?
[17:26] <escott> spencer_, its a command line tool
[17:27] <oxmox> where i become the samba 3.6.1 deb
[17:27] <fff> hi
[17:27] <Scarra3> should I install drivers or update first?
[17:27] <oneliner> so i could add nouveau.modeset=0 to try and get vesa for the card?
[17:28] <spencer_> escott, kb and mouse movement is working.. no clicks though :(
[17:28] <escott> oneliner, getting vesa would be a different boot option
[17:28] <escott> spencer_, of any clicks or just the left?
[17:28] <meco> Is there something syntactically wrong with this line in /etc/fstab: UUID=E6B08D1CB08CF479 /mnt/windows ntfs defaults 0 2
[17:29] <escott> meco, you probably want ntfs-3g not ntfs
[17:29] <oneliner> ok so my pickle is this: live cd boot graphical interface without problem, how can i make the install boot with the same method for graphic configuration the live cd uses?
[17:29] <meco> escott: I've been told it's supposed to be just ntfs when it's in  /etc/fstab
[17:30] <escott> meco, if you want ro sure. but if you want rw its ntfs-3g. other things you probably want to do are specify user as an option, and convert the uuid format to match the others 8-4-4-12 lowercase
[17:30] <lantizia> Lets say I've made an app... where should settings be stored in $HOME?  (i.e. directly in home? or in .local? or what?)
[17:31] <spencer_> escott, just left click.. and mouse btn 4
[17:32] <Nineain> ciao winusers!
[17:32] <meco> escott: What do you mean about specifying user as an option? What would that look like?
[17:32] <escott> spencer_, so look at .Xmodmap, you might also investigate input settings with xinput
[17:33] <spencer_> escott, where's the xinput?? in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
[17:33] <N1ghtCrawler> oCean: Thanks to you I solved my problem. Cudos
[17:33] <resonantsky> ls
[17:34] <escott> meco, as currently written it will be mounted and all files will be root owned. you want to put defaults,user
[17:34] <selite> Hello guys I connected an external monitor to my laptop via VGA but the image on the monitor seems a lit less brighter than when I connect it on a desktop computer any ideas?

[17:34] <selite> On the desktop computer I connect it via DVI.
[17:34] <escott> spencer_, xinput is another command line tool. xinput --list to get the input id xinput --list-props # to see properties. what kind of mouse is this. normal usb mouse

[17:35] <selite> Hello, I need help
[17:35] <Odaym> I did that, it doesn't show the "/dev/sda1" format

[17:36] <spencer_> escott, it's a logitech bluetooth bundle
[17:36] <escott> Odaym, its probably sdb1 but use the disk utility to find it
[17:36] <Odaym> ah right
[17:36] <Odaym> right
[17:37] <Odaym> it's just sdb, escott
[17:37] <Odaym> that's...normal, right?
[17:37] <escott> Odaym, that would be the device, sdb1 is partition one on that device
[17:37] <Odaym> right
[17:37] <cousteau> well, some devices don't have partitions, they have a partition table format that only allows 1 partition
[17:38] <cousteau> so there's no sdb1, just sdb
[17:38] <cousteau> I've seen this in many MP3 players

[17:38] <Odaym> referring to the capacity of his pen drive?
[17:39] <escott> meco, you just type it in lower case and put the "-"s in the right places
[17:39] <meco> escott: There aren't that many ciphers... can't do that
[17:40] <escott> Odaym, presumably 32767 is the size of that swap partition in something... blocks maybe

[17:41] <Luca__> hi
[17:41] <escott> meco, a uuid is by definition 32 hex characters
[17:41] <Luca__> is there any major difference fro using 11.10 instead of 11.04 as a rescue cd?
[17:42] <Luca__> i only have 11.04 downloaded and wanted tosave time
[17:42] <escott> spencer_, "the key is mapped for the mouse". I dont know what that means. you might use xinput set-props if you think it is set wrong
[17:42] <escott> Luca__, nothing major
[17:42] <Luca__> thanks
[17:42] <meco> escott: It can't be: http://pastebin.com/v4FPK26H
[17:43] <cousteau> Luca__, as a rescue (live) CD?  there shouldn't be many differences
[17:43] <Luca__> i will dl 11.10 anyway as i 99% need a reinstall
[17:43] <Odaym> is it working for me now, escott ? http://pastebin.com/GtyLXxuq

[17:45] <cousteau> Luca__, uh maybe...
[17:45] <cousteau> you could try to recover some files with testdisk and photorec
[17:46] <escott> spencer_, what property is this
[17:46] <escott> Odaym, swapon -s to show swaps
[17:47] <Odaym> well yes it's being listed under there
[17:47] <Odaym> but what about the 32676
[17:47] <escott> Luca__, very possibly
[17:47] <Luca__> is there anything i could do? try this testdisk thing?
[17:47] <Odaym> and it doesn't say anything under "Used" for the /dev/sdb (USB pen) when I do "swapon -s"
[17:48] <spencer_> escott, my xinput --list-props # showed me "Button Labels (255)" : Button Left (124)
[17:48] <cousteau> Luca__, well, first try with a live cd and see if it manages to mount any file system

[17:51] <josue> yes
[17:52] <josue> theadmin: yes
[17:52] <theadmin> josue: That's the problem, NTFS does not support Unix permissions. Copy them elsewhere, mount the filesystem with uid= flag, or just... well... do something like that

[17:55] <escott> Odaym, you certainly dont need that much swap, but you are using a little bit of it so it would be slightly faster
[17:55] <Luca__> uh-oh
[17:55] <Luca__> i CAN mount the disks
[17:56] <Odaym> I'm currently running Chrome, Pidgin, Xchat, a terminal session, Eclipse (along with the android emulator), Audacity, Eric 4 (Python IDE), K3B, Netbeans, Software Center, Google Earth, Medeley, Gimp, Brasero
[17:56] <Luca__> but where the Linux install was, now i have a pretty Ubuntu 11.10 installation disk
[17:56] <escott> Odaym, it would make more sense to use that usb as a /tmp partition
[17:56] <meco> I can't seem to be able to mount my ntfs partition during boot. I have the following line in /etc/fstab: UUID=E6B08D1CB08CF479 /mnt/windows ntfs defaults,user 0 2

[17:58] <oneliner> blacklist?
[17:58] <mongy> escott, I believe there is now an ntfschk tool in 11.10
[17:58] <mongy> escott, sorry, ntfsck
[17:58] <BluesKaj> !blacklist | oneliner
[18:00] <meco> mongy: That ntfsck, do you know how to use it. It doesn't have a man page.
[18:00] <josue> theadmin: I lost my connection for one minute here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/774512/
[18:01] <escott> meco, also you probably dont want to be using the ntfs driver but rather the ntfs-3g driver and if you want it to mount on boot you need to specify uid and gitd
[18:01] <theadmin> josue: That's not interesting, what is your ntfs partition in /dev/sd notation?
[18:01] <linuxor> hi, what to do to get a copy of my soft installed to use it with other distr ?
[18:01] <meco> escott: What would be the additions here then: UUID=E6B08D1CB08CF479 /mnt/windows ntfs defaults,user 0 2
[18:01] <mongy> meco, no idea.  never used it.
[18:02] <mongy> meco, you are better off letting windows handle its own partitions.
[18:02] <meco> mongy: Ok, typing it by itself just returns the prompt..
[18:02] <escott> meco, ntfs-3g instead of ntfs and defaults,user,uid=1000,gid=1000 (assuming you are 1000)
[18:02] <theadmin> linuxor: You can't use Ubuntu software with other distributions. It's not like Windows exe's. Software from one distribution won't work in another.
[18:02] <josue> theadmin: /dev/sda3   Mountpoint: /media/archivos
[18:02] <bullgard4> !gnome-shell | l11
[18:02] <meco> escott: I don't know what those values represent so how do I make sure?
[18:03] <linuxor> theadmin: why? if it ie .deb ?
[18:04] <linuxor> theadmin: for example vlc.deb I can use it in ubuntu, debian, mint ....
[18:05] <theadmin> josue: Okay, good, then run this: echo "/dev/sda3 /media/archivos ntfs-3g defaults,uid=$(id -u) 0 0" | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab
[18:05] <theadmin> josue: And reboot, now you should be able to work fine
[18:05] <theadmin> linuxor: No, you can't use Ubuntu packages in Debian...
[18:05] <escott> meco, they should match the output of "id" in the terminal
[18:05] <theadmin> linuxor: Would work with Mint though, because Mint is Ubuntu
[18:06] <Saik> hey guys. I have a question to any of the windos gurus in the room. I used to know where to find this, but I forgot. Anyone know where the timer for "stopped responding" is located in windows?

[18:07] <theadmin> Saik: errr, wrong channel, try ##windows
[18:07] <Saik> lol thought I'd try theadmin
[18:08] <theadmin> Saik: Might try in #ubuntu-offtopic, but not here
[18:08] <Saik> theadmin, I've actually had answers given in here before. so I thought it was worth trying

[18:08] <pangolin> !windows
[18:08] <theadmin> Saik: Against the channel policy to ask non-Ubuntu-support questions
[18:09] <Saik> theadmin: yea, we do that sometimes lol
[18:09] <theadmin> linuxor: Well, basically, files downloaded via APT-aware applications (e.g. apt-get, aptitude, synaptic, software-center) are stored in /var/cache/apt/archives/

[18:11] <CaptainKnots> theadmin: I know it well...this is my girlfriend's laptop running xubuntu and I'd rather not have her playing with synaptic
[18:11] <milamber> zpul: when you install there will be a dual boot option
[18:11] <BetaArk> anyone here with a sandy bridge motherboard?
[18:11] <oneliner> looks like there will be no way to use gtx 550 ti nvidia cards with ubuntu for a while, at least not with 11.10
[18:11] <theadmin> DemonWitch: Most likely it's in /etc/motd or something
[18:11] <escott> CaptainKnots, just take here out of the admin group
[18:12] <zpul> ehm yes, but I have already 4 primary partitions

[18:13] <xxx_x> theadmin, thanks
[18:13] <milamber> zpul: are they the default ones that came with the computer?
[18:13] <Nepomuk> ??
[18:13] <Nepomuk> no kde
[18:13] <zpul> milyes
[18:13] <josue> theadmin: I did As you said but after pasting the command, it didn´t return to as it would normaly to the command prompt. I reboothe the pc and its the same
[18:13] <zpul> milamber: yes
[18:14] <theadmin> josue: Huh... Didn't return? Did you type everything exactly as I gave?
[18:14] <meco> If there was something the matter with the ntfs partition, then why is it only during boot that I cannot mount it? It works fine from terminal.
[18:14] <milamber> zpul: then the installer will do the work for you, it will replace the windows boot loader with grub and you will still have all your options.
[18:15] <oneliner> does anyone know what graphics configuration does the live cd use ? and why it works when the actual installed os dosent? and how can i boot with that same graphics setting?
[18:15] <CaptainKnots> what's the easiest way to install windows after ubuntu?
[18:15] <escott> meco, usually you would not have that "2" at the end of your fstab line for ntfs. you cant fix it so dont fsck it. the ntfs-3g utility will do some sanity checks before mounting
[18:15] <josue> theadmin: this is what I pasted /dev/sda3 /media/archivos ntfs-3g defaults,uid=$(id -u) 0 0" | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab
[18:15] <theadmin> josue: You forgot echo and the initial quote... Here's the command again: echo "/dev/sda3 /media/archivos ntfs-3g defaults,uid=$(id -u) 0 0" | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab
[18:15] <escott> josue, you lost an echo " that should start that (prior to /dev/sda3"
[18:16] <meco> escott: If I just drop that last '2' then it won't attempt to check before mounting?
[18:16] <escott> meco, change it to a 0
[18:16] <milamber> !nomodeset | oneliner
[18:16] <meco> ok
[18:17] <josue> theadmin: thanks it gave me /dev/sda3 /media/archivos ntfs-3g defaults,uid=1000 0 0
[18:17] <josue> I will reboot now.
[18:17] <meco> me too
[18:17] <theadmin> josue: Sounds right.
[18:17] <zpul> milamber: OK, right now I have the following situation /dev/sda < 1 primary NTFS, 2 primary NTFS, 3 primary NTFS, primary SYSTEM-RECOVERY >. partition 3 can be removed, the others no as long as I can tell. the only option left is to have a single primary partition for ubuntu and no swap?
[18:17] <theadmin> zpul: Why not a extended?
[18:18] <escott> zpul, you can replace partition 3 with an extended and then 5,6 become ubuntu root and swap
[18:18] <oneliner> milamber already tried that
[18:18] <zpul> ok, but grub can start linux from an extended partition?
[18:18] <oneliner> thanks
[18:18] <milamber> zpul: it will ask you a couple questions about size and repartition for you. depending on the size of that last partition you could split that into your /home, main, and swap
[18:19] <escott> zpul, grub usually isnt bothered. sometimes bioses won't let grub access stuff in an extended, but grub doesnt care
[18:19] <zpul> milamber: yes I will like to have it split in /home, root and swap

[18:20] <zpul> I am still wondering what is the first primary 200MB partition for.. it is not mounted on Windows and it is not the system recovery partition..
[18:20] <theadmin> IHateHavingToReg: Try "sudo gdebi whatever.deb", but install gdebi-core first
[18:21] <CaptainKnots> zpul: windows hidden system partition
[18:21] <milamber> ircdearia: as they are all debian derivatives see the debian documentation for requesting a package: http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/
[18:21] <theadmin> Mjoo: You do it the other way around, normally, but yes. It's just a bit of a hassle this way.
[18:21] <oneliner> does anyone know what graphics configuration does the live cd use ? and why it works when the actual installed os dosent? and how can i boot with that same graphics setting?
[18:21] <meco> escott: That did the trick. Assistance appreciated!
[18:21] <zpul> CaptainKnots: I cannot remove it, I suppose..
[18:21] <milamber> zpul: are you sure it isn't the recovery?
[18:21] <IHateHavingToReg> theadmin: wait, what is "whatever.deb" ?
[18:21] <CaptainKnots> zpul: if you don't want windows to break, no :P
[18:21] <zpul> milamber: no the recovery is 15GB at the end of the disk
[18:21] <theadmin> IHateHavingToReg: The file name, I was too lazy to paste it in xD
[18:21] <IHateHavingToReg> oh ok thanks

[18:22] <zpul> CaptainKnots: do you know what is the rationale behind having that partition ?
[18:22] <theadmin> IHateHavingToReg: I told you, install gdebi-core first: sudo apt-get install gdebi-core
[18:22] <theadmin> IHateHavingToReg: Also, isn't pine in the repos...?
[18:22] <IHateHavingToReg> yeah sorry, doing it now
[18:22] <theadmin> !find pine
[18:22] <cipherboy> oneliner: Your issue again?
[18:22] <milamber> theadmin: i think it is alpine now
[18:23] <theadmin> milamber: Oh, yeah
[18:23] <theadmin> IHateHavingToReg: You can "sudo apt-get install alpine", I think. Why do you need the old pine?
[18:23] <IHateHavingToReg> oh i didn't know that
[18:23] <IHateHavingToReg> so i should use alpine
[18:23] <IHateHavingToReg> ok thanks
[18:23] <IHateHavingToReg> theadmin: ignorance :(
[18:23] <CaptainKnots> zpul: bootloader nd anti-piracy stuff
[18:23] <CaptainKnots> and*
[18:23] <oneliner> gtx 550 ti nvidia geforce is proving to be one serious problem for ubuntu to tackle, have you got any other ideas besides nomodeset and nouveau.modeset=0 ?
[18:23] <theadmin> IHateHavingToReg: Happens
[18:23] <IHateHavingToReg> I was wondering why all the pine message forums were from like 2006, heh
[18:24] <theadmin> IHateHavingToReg: pine's a mail client, right? What's wrong with mutt?
[18:24] <theadmin> lol
[18:24]  * milamber still uses alpine
[18:24] <zpul> another question guys, I can safely install ubuntu after building the system recovery DVDs for this laptop or shall I do something more before starting?
[18:24] <CaptainKnots> I used pine back in the day
[18:24] <IHateHavingToReg> i dunno, i don't know a lot, just know the last time i dabbled with my own box i used pine and worked reasonably well
[18:24] <oneliner> cipherboy: can have graphical boot from live cd, hang with no access to tty1-6 otherwise normal boot
[18:24] <escott> zpul, those system recovery dvds never work
[18:25] <zpul> CaptainKnots: and probably they like having a partition more to annoy linux users..
[18:25] <milamber> zpul: you can check your hardware by running it as a live cd/usb first
[18:25] <n4dsp> Is Rute's a good beginner book for Linux students?
[18:25] <CaptainKnots> zpul: ditch windows completely
[18:25] <escott> zpul, use the windows backup tool to backup to an external drive thats all you need to do
[18:25] <CaptainKnots> and use a vm of it
[18:25] <escott> zpul, or rather can do
[18:25] <IHateHavingToReg> woo hoo! it works. Thanks guys :0
[18:25] <IHateHavingToReg> :) i meant
[18:26] <milamber> escott: why not have the new guy just get his feet wet by running the live cd, mounting the hard drive read only, and then dd'ng it?
[18:26] <milamber> :)
[18:26] <CaptainKnots> zpul: that partition is more to prevent bootloader injections to pirate windows
[18:26] <transpissed1> [19:22] <transpissed> hey, im sitting here with a problem, that is transmission update nad its blocklist-related, that im not able to solve for myself  is there anyone who can help? i tried updating to 2.42 but i t just update d to transmission 2.04, and im not able to create blocklist entries
[18:26] <zpul> this laptop has a broadcom wireless card, it should work out-of-the-box?
[18:26] <theadmin> IHateHavingToReg: What's the point in thanking guys if the one who helped you figure it out is a girl? :P
[18:26] <milamber> !broadcom
[18:26] <CaptainKnots> transpissed1: use the ppa
[18:26] <zpul> thanks
[18:27] <cristian_c> Hello, I have to change the key number code manager from the default one in ubuntu to that used by an alternative program, such as keytouch
[18:27] <meco> Does anyone know where I might find a .openboxrc file?
[18:27] <Mjoo> theadmin: how would you go about if you were to install W7 upon a ubuntu install?
[18:27] <theadmin> Mjoo: Install win7, reinstall grub
[18:27] <transpissed1> captainknots: tried to but i need help with the commands here
[18:27] <Mjoo> Grub being some boot file?
[18:27] <escott> milamber, having someone new to linux backup his system with command line tools that he doesnt know how to use, and if he does it incorrectly will force him to pay $200 out of pocket to get windows? no i think using windows own backup tool is better
[18:27] <theadmin> Mjoo: The bootloader, yeah
[18:28] <Mjoo> Cool, thanks!
[18:28] <CaptainKnots> !ppa | transpissed1
[18:28] <theadmin> !restoregrub | Mjoo
[18:28] <josue> theadmin:  now I see that I have read and write for all files in the permision tab, but when I eog on one of the pics it  still tells me permision denied
[18:28] <transpissed1> CaptainKnots, do you have experienc ewith transmission? i use 10.4 lucid
[18:28] <josue> :(
[18:28] <theadmin> josue: weird...
[18:28] <CaptainKnots> transpissed1: yes, I use 2.42
[18:28] <theadmin> josue: I no longer have any idea, sorry... >.<
[18:28] <transpissed1> i know what that is,CaptainKnots, i alreday added one but it doesnt seem to wörrrk
[18:28] <josue> theadmin: Thanks for all your help!
[18:29] <CaptainKnots> apt-get update and then apt-get upgrade then transpissed1
[18:29] <transpissed1> and, CaptainKnots, i failed to upgrade to 2.42
[18:29] <theadmin> josue: Except I didn't help >.<
[18:29] <cristian_c> I checked a configuration file called 55keytouchd_launch (found in / etc/X11/Xsession.d) whose content is as follows:
[18:30] <cristian_c> http://paste.ubuntu.com/774537/
, what distro r ui using?
[18:31] <oneliner> i am truly starting to wonder if ubuntu albeit free, made me lose money betting on a top notch nvidia card, that would be ironic
[18:31] <CaptainKnots> transpissed1: xubuntu 11.10
[18:31] <cristian_c> I do not think it is very useful to the cause :(
[18:31] <orated> For linux kernel 3.1 I should use http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.1.5-precise/ or www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.0/linux-3.1.5.tar.bz2 ?
[18:31] <dr_willis> oneliner:  with linux you normally dont want 'just released last week hardware'  stuff that has been out for a few months is normally much better supported
, ok this is also one i tried
[18:32] <dr_willis> oneliner:  of course one wonders why one would need a 'top notch video card
[18:32] <Scarra3> what's a way to see if my graphics card is working properly in Ubuntu 11.10
[18:32] <dr_willis> for a linux box.
[18:32] <cristian_c> What should I do to bypass the management of numerical codes by udev?
[18:32] <dr_willis> Scarra3:  whats the card? theres the glxinfo command that should give some info.
[18:33] <cristian_c> may also be the X server to run this stuff by default in ubuntu
[18:33] <Scarra3> dr_willis Its an NVIDIA GeForce 210 I installed the restricted drivers idk if it works properly because I have an integrated on and theres no way to turn it off threw bios
[18:34] <oneliner> dr_willis: maybe you are not aware that linux is mostly command line and surfing the web, but thats for you to find out, besides gtx550ti has been out for a while, and the linux crash pages with that card abound, i just thought i could try to find the issue, but after two days and your attitude am getting the sense i wont
[18:34] <cristian_c> so for you too?
[18:34] <escott> oneliner, if this is a new machine with an intel chip then why not disable the nvidia in the bios and boot with intel graphics
[18:34] <dr_willis> Scarra3:  ive had nvidia+built in  working befor. but been ages. what chipset is the onboard?
[18:34] <flexnsniff> Ok, so i'm stuck. Can you point me the right direction: trying to set /dev/video0 to be static as aswell as /video1 and /video2
[18:34] <cristian_c> This of course if the X server is running
[18:34] <oneliner> escott: am out of luck there; amd chip, no integrated graphics
[18:34] <dr_willis> oneliner:  ive been using linux for 12+ yrs..    theres much more to it then command line ans surfing the web.
[18:35] <flexnsniff> muuuuuch more to it =D
[18:35] <Scarra3> NVIDIA GeForce 9100 HD
[18:35] <cristian_c> but I do not know of any other known video servers, so I do not think anything else could be running it
[18:35] <flexnsniff> i've got a DVR, a PBX, and a Survelliance server running on one machine =D
[18:35] <meco> Does anyone know where I might find a .openboxrc file?
[18:35] <oneliner> dr_willis: then you may have an idea or two for for answering "why would anyone need a top notch video card for running a linux box" which makes me wonder about your intention phrsing that in the first place
[18:36] <escott> oneliner, in a laptop? thats a weird configuration for a laptop
[18:36] <cristian_c> There is also this?
[18:36] <dr_willis> oneliner:  my low end/mid range work great. thers not many games out for linux that demand a top end video card.
[18:36] <CaptainKnots> dr_willis: trine
[18:36] <pm-> i am tickled pink that my laptops intelHD works
[18:37] <zpul> milamber, theadmin, CaptainKnots: thanks
[18:37] <fidel> hi - seems like my sounds is pretty noisy/electronic in flash-usage since 11.10
[18:37] <pm-> to me, that is high end
[18:37] <oneliner> escott: am sorry i think i never said it was a laptop, its a new box with an bulldozer phenom 2 x6 processor and 8gb ram, and the afore mentioned stuborn card
[18:37] <fidel> is that a known issue? any ideas how to fix that?
[18:37] <milamber> zpul: np
[18:37] <Tech-1> pm-:  kernel 3 on up have excellent intel support now
[18:37] <BobZhome> How do I go about reverting some recent changes that "Update Manager"applied to 10.10?
[18:37] <escott> oneliner, in that case spend $25 on a graphics card from a couple years ago. in 6months give the high end graphics card another try
[18:38] <theadmin> BobZhome: you can't, downgrading is not supported
[18:38] <dr_willis> !pin | BobZhome
[18:38] <theadmin> !downgrade | dr_willis :P
[18:38] <dr_willis> BobZhome:  do you know what package youa re hacving issues with?
[18:39] <bucky> Scarra3, according to this it is but I don't know if the 185.18.14 nvidia driver is available in the proprietary drivers repo
[18:39] <theadmin> Oh, okay, that's not related
[18:39] <bucky> ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/185.18.14/README/appendix-a.html
[18:39] <BobZhome> Java is the issue
, upadte and upgrade commands didnt work, update command just returne d 1 error: Fetched 12.6MB in 1min 25s (147kB/s)                                            Reading package lists...

[18:39] <escott> BobZhome, if you have an old package in /var/apt/cache you can install it with deb and then pin to that version
[18:39] <theadmin> escott: Rather, /var/cache/apt/
[18:39] <dr_willis> BobZhome:  which java are you using? theres like 2 differnt ones you can use.
[18:40] <oneliner_> great now the batery of the backup laptop am using died on me
[18:40] <BobZhome> sun-java6-jdk
[18:40] <oneliner_> this is gonna be a long sunday
[18:41] <oneliner_> escott: did my last line get through, the box aint a laptop, standard pc bulldozer phenom 2 amd 8gb ram and that stuborn card of mine
[18:41] <oneliner_> i think that what frustrates me most is that the live cd has no trouble booting a visual interface
[18:41] <escott> oneliner, yes. i said go buy yourself a $25 card from a couple years ago and then try again with 12.04
[18:42] <escott> oneliner, you can boot the live cd and then cat /proc/cmdline to see what boot options work there
[18:42] <milamber> oneliner: can you describe the issue and what steps you have taken? that would make it easier to provide support. have you tried the nomodeset option?
[18:43] <transpissed1> CaptainKnots, are you still there?
[18:43] <Scarra3> Should I worry about disabling the integrated one
[18:43] <ppcblaster> Trying to get PVR 350 going to watch and record tv ntsc, need help
[18:44] <ppcblaster> 11.10
[18:44] <escott> BobZhome, there was an announcement from oracle on java6, and thats why it was removed. if you pin that in you are not going to get any security updates
[18:44] <escott> BobZhome, oracle is itself moving to openjdk
[18:45] <transpissed1> k
[18:45] <BluesKaj> escott, i have an old 7600gt running perfectly fine on 12.04...it was 50bucks when i bought it used
[18:46] <escott> BluesKaj, i wasnt following what model oneliner was using. i just heard nvidia and stopped paying attention after that
[18:46] <fhonor> hola
[18:46] <fhonor> alguien español?
[18:46] <transpissed1> chello
[18:46] <escott> !es | fhonor
[18:46] <BobZhome> k, thanks for the info
[18:47] <dannel> sucks nokia killed qt jambi :-/
[18:47] <transpissed1> can someone jelp me get the new transmission version and the current blocklist(s)?
[18:48] <transpissed1> using 10.4 lucid
[18:48] <milamber> transpissed1: i was only half following, didn't someone tell you to use the ppa? is that where you are at?
[18:48] <CharminTheMoose> I'm having a problem firefox and X's sloppy focus. The menus (File, Edit, View) and the right click menu just disappear when mousing over them, so I can't click on anything in those menus, though surfing the web works fine, for the most part.
[18:49] <BluesKaj> escott, duno if you have tried 12.04 with nvidia , but there are a lot fewer graphics problems in general than with the 11.10 alpha/beta and none whatsover so far on 12.04 with nvidia
[18:49] <transpissed1> milamber, ? half what?
[18:49] <milamber> transpissed1: half following the conversation you were having
[18:49] <transpissed1> ok
[18:49] <escott> BluesKaj, then tell that to oneliner. i dont use nvidia
[18:49] <fidel> searching for an audio-player which allows live pitching (speed up/down). any recommendation?
[18:50] <fidel> i see alsa-player-gtk offers that - but its not really a user-friendly player
[18:50] <escott> fidel, mplayer can do that
[18:50] <transpissed1> using 10.4 lucid, tried to update from transm. 1.93 to 2.42 to solve the problem. only made it to 2.4, and there is still the problem that the prog doesnt load the blocklist, milamber
[18:50] <fidel> escott: at the end i am looking for a user-friendly gui - the backend can for sure be mplayer or anything else
[18:50] <bigblowhard> if I'm really happy with my installation of ubuntu 10.04 32 bit, but I just upgraded from 2 gigs to 8 gigs of memory, should I just upgrade to 10.04 64bit, or should I go to the latest 11.10 64bit?
[18:51] <theadmin> bigblowhard: Depends on whether you want Unity or not :D
[18:51] <transpissed1> milamber, made it to transmission 2.04, not 2.4
[18:51] <fidel> bigblowhard: both should work pretty out of the box
[18:51] <bigblowhard> i don't think I like unity
[18:51] <ppcblaster> Trying to get PVR 350 going to watch and record tv ntsc, need help
[18:51] <escott> bigblowhard, without pae you wont see more than 4gigs so you might as well use the 64bit
[18:51] <fidel> bigblowhard: nobody forces you to use unity ;)
[18:51] <BluesKaj> escott, well since you mentioned nvidia and 12.04 in a negative sense , I thought i'd mention my nvidia on 12.04 experience to you.
[18:52] <ppcblaster> Trying to get PVR 350 going to watch and record tv ntsc, need help
[18:52] <transpissed1> milamber, in several blogs i found somewhere a ppa which i added bit i think it didnt have any effect...
[18:52] <escott> BluesKaj, i didnt say anything negative about it. i said if it isn't working for 11.10 wait until 12.04. how is that negative. please talk to oneliner if you have useful information for him
[18:52] <Scarra3> How do you run a .run file im gonna install the drivers from nvidias website
[18:52] <is_null> hi all, can anybody confirm this bug on oneiric: click "sound" icon in topbar, click banshee "play", try a "media" volume up/down keyboard combination
[18:52] <milamber> transpissed1: ok, let me look into it
[18:53] <transpissed1> appreciate your time for this, milamber
[18:53] <is_null> it should not work
[18:53] <semitones-irssi> how do you view multiple pages side by side in open office?
[18:53] <dannel> semitones-irssi, you can't
[18:53] <dannel> best you can do is copy the document and open it twice :-/
[18:53] <dannel> i think open office has less features than word 97..
[18:53] <is_null> the dropdown menu seems to have focus over the shell and intercepts volume up/down keypresses, but fails to adjust volume
[18:54] <is_null> dannel: how much of word 97 features do you use ? 10% ?!!!
[18:54] <fidel> ;)
[18:54] <escott> dannel, semitones-irssi The automatic view layout displays pages side by side, as many as the zoom factor allows.
[18:55] <semitones-irssi> dannel: :(
[18:55] <semitones-irssi> are you sure
[18:55] <semitones-irssi> escott: how do yo do it?
[18:55] <dannel> semitones-irssi, if you mean page split view
[18:55] <dannel> split page*
[18:56] <milamber> transpissed1: it looks like if you want 2.4 you are going to have to build it from source
[18:56] <BluesKaj> escott, , I tried to help one liner ... he only replied about trying nomodeset , but nothing about my nouveau blacklist suggestion
[18:56] <Flannel> semitones-irssi, dannel: The internet seems to think that as of 3.0 you can, by just reducing the zoom percentage of the document.
[18:56] <aguitel> can i write to usb  xubuntu-11.10-desktop-i386.iso     with dd command ?
[18:56] <escott> semitones-irssi, dannel set it to automatic view and then set the zoom to a lower factor
[18:56] <milamber> the highest ppa i found listed was 2.3
[18:57] <escott> semitones-irssi, dannel its possible its a libreoffice feature thats not in openoffice but it works in my libreoffice
[18:57] <hivemind> hi
[18:57] <mongy> Anyone know about the 'multicore:1' setting in the .devede config file, if its 0 or 1 for yes/no or if that's the number of cpu's ?
[18:57] <semitones-irssi> Flannel: escott : dannel : I just figured it out. Nowhere in the settings does it say "automatic layout" but if you look near the zoom at the bottom, there's one page, two pages, and two facing pages. YOu have to click on the two side-by-side pages, and then it works.
[18:57] <milamber> transpissed1: also is there a feature needed that makes the current version unusable?
[18:57] <caesar_> what vbox software will support usb devices?
[18:58] <semitones-irssi> also it doesn't give any indication that it will do what you think it will until you actually have two pages
[18:58] <dannel> semitones-irssi, but they must be successive pages?
[18:58] <transpissed1> milamber, cwhat feature could this be??
[18:58] <semitones-irssi> dannel: yeah, i guess. that's what I wanted anyway
[18:58] <dannel> ok
[18:58] <milamber> transpissed1: i am just wondering why you need 2.4 instead of what you do have?
[18:58] <semitones-irssi> :)
[18:59] <transpissed1> milamber, well first of all i wanted to use the blocklists, for which the url changed , and i cant reconfigure the stuff
[18:59] <aguitel> can i write to usb  xubuntu-11.10-desktop-i386.iso     with dd command ?
[19:00] <Ashfame> I am trying to install Ubuntu on my new laptop but somethng messed up related to partitions. Can anyone help?
[19:00] <transpissed1> milamber, you know previously, befodre 10.4 lucid, was just able to update the b.list in the preferences
[19:00] <escott> aguitel, no you would have to loop mount the image file
[19:00] <milamber> transpissed1: check the last paragraph here: https://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/Blocklists
[19:00] <llutz> aguitel: you can
[19:01] <aguitel> escott, how do that
[19:01] <escott> aguitel, unless you are saying you want to make a bootable usb with that image file?
[19:01] <aguitel> escott, yes
[19:01] <transpissed1> milamber, thx , im looking into it
[19:02] <aguitel> llutz, escott ,all ubuntu image are hybrid ?
[19:02] <Ashfame> my gparted is not able to do anything to partitions img12.imageshack.us/img12/4953/screenshotat20111218185.png
[19:02] <llutz> aguitel: from 11.10 they are
[19:02] <Ashfame> here is the gparted error link http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/4953/screenshotat20111218185.png
[19:02] <aguitel> llutz, thankz
[19:03] <escott> Ashfame, you have 4 primary partitions, so you cannot have any more. you have to remove one of those partitions and make it into an extended partition. doesnt explain the mtab error though
[19:04] <hivemind> can you help me? I'm trying to boot from Ubuntu 10.04 LiveCD, but getting "stdin: error 0" and  "mount: mounting /dev/sda1 on /cdrom failed: Invalid argument", and this messages are repeating
[19:04] <Flannel> Ashfame: do you have the package `ntfsprogs` installed?
[19:04] <milamber> hivemind: did you verify the image?
[19:04] <c_> oe
[19:04] <hivemind> yes, but from windows
[19:04] <Ashfame> escott, that 1mb partition just show up after I used windows 7 disk manager to delete a partition
[19:05] <Ashfame> Flannel, I am running off a live usb and earlier I was able to work with partitions
[19:05] <hivemind> milamber, i'll can verify the image from boot menu
[19:05] <Ashfame> Flannel, its the windows disk manager that changed something
[19:06] <transpissed1> milamber, so im gonna create an empty file with the ending bin, and write the url, of a blocklist into this, and put it into the blocklist folder?
[19:06] <Flannel> Ashfame: Could be.  Verify that you have ntfs-3g (which provides ntfsprogs) installed just to be sure: `sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g` will work (it'll confirm you have it, or install it if you dont)
[19:07] <c_> olè
[19:07] <milamber> transpissed1: yup
[19:07] <Ashfame> Flannel, yep its installed
[19:07] <gimble> How can I change the mime-type of a file? (A surprisingly unsearchable question...)
[19:07] <transpissed1> milamber, would this be the latest list? http://list.iblocklist.com/?list=bt_level1&fileformat=p2p&archiveformat=gz
[19:08] <milamber> transpissed1: to see the config files (or any file with a ".") right click and say show hidden files
[19:08] <milamber> transpissed1: not sure, i rarely update
[19:08] <lorddelta> Shouldn't there be a libgobject.la in the libglib2.0-dev package? http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/amd64/libglib2.0-dev/filelist seems like it has one...
[19:09] <transpissed1> milamber, what dioes this have to do with hidden files?
[19:09] <lorddelta> libgobject-2.0.la specifically...
[19:09] <hivemind> milamber, i'm trying to verify image and getting the same error
[19:09] <milamber> transpissed1: transmission stores its blocklists in its config folder
[19:10] <VCoolio> gimble: you mean the default app to open it with? right click > properties > open with, or edit ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list
[19:10] <gimble> nope
[19:10] <gimble> I mean the mime-type of the file.
[19:11] <transpissed1> could find this one, milamber, i try to add it in var/lib/transmission-dameon/info/blocklist... what do i name the file, blocklist.bin? or does it matter?
[19:12] <transpissed1> could NOT find this one, milamber, config folder
[19:12] <milamber> yes, blocklist.bin should be fine
[19:12] <transpissed1> milamber, i cant open the created binfile
[19:13] <Ashfame> escott, Flannel, any clues?
[19:13] <gimble> hmm apparently the mime-type is decided by the application in question
[19:13] <milamber> transpissed1: you have to have escalated privileges to modify files/folders there
[19:13] <VCoolio> gimble: then you convert it, like from png to jpg
[19:13] <Guest3184> Ok, i need help on opening firefox (the internet)
[19:13] <transpissed1> i sudo nautilused into the directory
[19:13] <Guest3184>  Ok, i need help on opening firefox (the internet)
[19:13] <Guest3184> Hello?
[19:13] <fhonor> hi
[19:14] <milamber> transpissed1: from the terminal you can do: gksudo nautilus
[19:14] <Guest3184> fhonor Ok, i need help on opening firefox (the internet
[19:14] <escott> Ashfame, close and reopen gparted. tell the kernel to rescan the partition table. delete one of the partitions so you can make an extended partition for ubuntu
[19:14] <transpissed1> i didnt use gk but that was fine
[19:14] <bucky> Guest3184, Applications->Internet->Firefox
[19:14] <escott> Ashfame, partprobe /dev/sda
[19:14] <milamber> !gksudo > transpissed1
[19:15] <sjalloq> Hi there, having some trouble joining an SMB share from an Ubuntu client.  Have followed the CIFS guide and am specifying the username but no password.  I'm not being prompted for a password so I think I'm connecting as root which means the SMB ACLs are not inherrited properly.  As such I don't see the correct owner/group names and don't have permission to create dirs/files.
. problem with that
[19:16] <transpissed1> well, i could breate an empty file, put the url in this named it blocklist bin, but when starting transmission, it didnt work, am i suppused to do a init.d reastart or what that is called?
[19:16] <Ashfame> escott, cool! that command seems to have done the trick. what was it?
[19:16] <escott> Ashfame, told the kernel to rescan the partition table
[19:16] <transpissed1> ubottu, bot, what?
[19:16] <Ashfame> escott, awesome! thanks :)
[19:17] <transpissed1> milamber, well, i could breate an empty file, put the url in this named it blocklist bin, but when starting transmission, it didnt work, am i suppused to do a init.d reastart or what that is called?
[19:19] <Ashfame> one more question, now that I have four partition tables, how do I create a 5th one, extended partition?
[19:19] <Ashfame> I meant partitions, not partition tables
[19:19] <escott> Ashfame, you delete one of the partitions you have first
[19:19] <Ashfame> and then?
[19:20] <escott> Ashfame, then you can create an extended partition and put logical partitions inside it
[19:20] <Ashfame> escott: gotya! THANKS
[19:22] <Boreeas> Is there an alternative to npviewer? It always starts hogging RAM and CPU when it runs
[19:23] <dannel> No.
[19:23] <sdz> I have a 50 MB Ogg Video file.  What ffmpeg options would convert it to a 24 MB mpeg?
[19:23] <escott> Boreeas, there are a number of open source flash alternatives, but none are particularly good (lots of stuff won't work)
[19:24] <NoRegulation> what is the difference between this tech support and the ubuntu forum support on the web?
[19:24] <dannel> Hm, apparently there is a native 64-bit flash which eliminates the need for npviewer
[19:24] <urlin2u> NoRegulation, one is live one is not.
[19:24] <NoRegulation> thanks
[19:25] <Boreeas> escott: Ah well, then I have to live with shutting it down manually every now and then
[19:25] <urlin2u> NoRegulation, a lot more people on the forums as well though.
[19:25] <dannel> Boreeas, install native 64-bit flash
[19:28] <transpissed1> milamber, thx for your help, i found the config folder, it finally had an effect, i just have to find the best current blocklist, cause tjis one only seems to have "9 rules"
[19:28] <transpissed1> milamber thanks for your help, im still too much of a newb
[19:29] <extor> My clipboard's select feature is messed up. I cannt select text by highlighting it any moar
[19:29] <mongy> sdz, use -fs
[19:31] <milamber> transpissed1: np
[19:32] <kdc1956> I see Ubuntu has out done windows this time around I got ever thing working even movies
[19:36] <escott> extor, a lot of people find X11 copy behavior confusing. increasingly many programs dont copy to the global buffer on highlight. what program are you using
[19:36] <extor> every program
[19:37] <extor> editors, shell terminals, firefox
[19:40] <escott> extor, you might try autocutsel
[19:40] <DrPoO> how does one kill gnome from the command line in 11.10?
[19:40] <DrPoO> it used to be /etc/init.d/gdm.... but its not there anymore
[19:41] <dannel> kill -9 gnome-session as usual?
[19:41] <escott> DrPoO, service lightdm restart
[19:41] <dannel> or killall, I think kill requires a pid
[19:42] <DrPoO> escott, that worked thanks!
[19:42] <om26er> define gnome
[19:42] <om26er> DrPoO, ^^
[19:42] <escott> DrPoO, use service instead of /etc/init.d/whatever
[19:43] <caio> alguem afim de dar o cu pra mim?
[19:43] <escott> !br | caio
[19:43] <DrPoO> escott, i was aware of that, the thing is gdm is no longer there. Was it at 10.10 that they changed it?
[19:43] <caio> ahdauhduas

[19:44] <shades> hello, what's the easiest way to install openssh-server on a box that does not have access to the internet?
[19:44] <escott> !pt | caio
[19:44] <MattRB> Does anyone know where I can get help with using Xlib?
[19:45] <caio> alguem afim de dar o cu aqui????
[19:45] <caio> alguemm????
[19:45] <escott> caio, ENGLISH ONLY
[19:46] <FlavioTrashPunk> E AI CAMBADA...
[19:46] <caio> FlavioTrashPunk hadhusadhusahu
[19:46] <caio> ninguem quer da o ** pra mim
[19:46] <caio> kkkkk
[19:46] <DrPoO> shades, did you try searching for a .deb file for openssh-server?
[19:46] <LjL> caio: fala ingles por favor, ou entra en #ubuntu-br para soporte en portugues
[19:46] <shades> I saw something that was a .udeb and I was confused
[19:47] <escott> shades, run apt-get install openssh-server get a list of the debs you need and copy them to /var/cache/apt
[19:47] <shades> escott: except the box has no access to the internet
[19:47] <DrPoO> shades, http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=openssh-server
[19:48] <escott> shades, type the binary in bit by bit? you have to have some way to get the deb over to that machine
[19:48] <shades> escott: I have INTRAnet access to it just no internet access to it
[19:48] <edisdead> hey guys
[19:48] <DrPoO> shades, download the appropriate deb file from that url and install it using dpkg
[19:49] <escott> shades, so go ahead and run apt-get install openssh-install let it fail (it cannot download packages) and then download that list of files elsewhere on the intranet and copy them to the desired machine
[19:49] <edisdead> i i have a little problem with my ubuntu server, wondered if you can try help me
[19:51] <shades> kk
[19:51] <jammy> I lurv Ubantoo.
[19:51] <shades> apt-get willlet me specify a location where a .deb file is?
[19:51] <dr3mro> join #gnome
[19:51] <edisdead> shade, was the kk for me :)
[19:51] <edisdead> ?
[19:51] <LjL> shades: no, but dpkg will
[19:51] <escott> shades, if you need to maintain this in the future there are ways to tunnel internet traffic through an ssh session. you might try and use that to allow yourself access to the internet, or you will want to setup a mirror on your intranet
[19:52] <escott> shades, if you put the deb in /var/cache/apt that is where apt will look
[19:53] <escott> shades, http://www.howtoforge.com/local_debian_ubuntu_mirror
[19:55] <raven> how to clone a whole xfce configuration to another machine?
[19:55] <edisdead> hey can i can a help with an ubuntu server that got hand on startup after adding a new lvm disk?
[19:55] <edisdead> hang
[19:55] <aeon-ltd> raven: find the configs then copy them
[19:55] <raven> aeon-ltd, where are the configs
[19:55] <jenev> hey
[19:56] <jenev> i have windows 7 installed on my laptop
[19:56] <jenev> i want to install ubuntu
[19:56] <jenev> how do i resize the windows partition?
[19:56] <jenev> do i have to earse the whole disk?
[19:57] <aeon-ltd> raven: i'd guess some are in your /home/ but hidden by dot folders and some may be in /etc/(name of xfce related apps) ; alos remember to copy to redownload the gtk, xfce wm themes and fonts
[19:57] <escott> jenev, gparted can resize the disk, but its a good idea to use the windows tools to make a backup first
[19:57] <edisdead> jenev, use gparted
[19:57] <escott> !clone | raven
[19:57] <mkanyicy> jenev, +1 for gparted
[19:57] <jenev> OkropNick, but i haven't installed linux as yet
[19:57] <orated> For installing latest stable kernel 3.1 in Ubuntu 11.10 should I use http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.1.5-precise/ or www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.0/linux-3.1.5.tar.bz2 ?
[19:58] <edisdead> hey escott, can you give me a hand?
[19:58] <jenev> and so far i don't see gpart started and it's already asking for disks, partitions etc
[19:58] <escott> edisdead, not too familiar with lvm
[19:58] <edisdead> :(
[19:58] <jenev> sorry that wasn't for OkropNick, my hand sliped
[19:58] <edisdead> can you tell me where can i get help with that?
[19:58] <OkropNick> :)
[19:58] <edisdead> not sure it's realated to lvm
[19:59] <escott> jenev, instead of installing use the "try ubuntu" option, and use gparted there
[19:59] <edisdead> i need to debug the boot process
[19:59] <jenev> ahh ok
[19:59] <jenev> thanks
[19:59] <LjL> jenev, the very Ubuntu installer has the ability to resize your Windows partition.
[19:59] <orated> edisdead: Maybe #ubuntu-server or #lvm ?
[19:59] <escott> jenev, its possible that there is an install alongside windows option that will do this automatically
[19:59] <escott> edisdead, how far in the boot are you getting?
[19:59] <orated> er
[19:59] <edisdead> thanks! i'll check it
[19:59] <LjL> jenev: just make a backup first, and then don't select "Wipe entire disk" but "Install Ubuntu alongside other OS" or whatever it's called.
[20:00] <edisdead> well the boot is done after about 10 minutes
[20:00] <edisdead> it got hang at start and than continues
[20:00] <edisdead> i see a black screen with underscore for a 2 minutes
[20:00] <escott> edisdead, check dmesg
[20:00] <edisdead> and that it runs fsck on my disks, and that it hangs
[20:01] <edisdead> the dmesg doesn't show any error
[20:01] <edisdead> but i see a big tiem diff in 2 places
[20:01] <escott> edisdead, but it gives you timestamps so you can figure out what the time consuming bits are
[20:01] <edisdead> [    8.383385] EXT4-fs (dm-1): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode [   69.839273] Adding 2097144k swap on /dev/mapper/swap  Priority:-1 extents:1 across:2097144k
[20:02] <edisdead> here is that log, i couldn't fidn any info about that
[20:02] <mkanyicy> edisdead, are you sure its fsck that is hanging
[20:02] <edisdead> no!
[20:02] <escott> edisdead, this isnt a reboot following a hibernate is it?
[20:02] <edisdead> fsck is working good
[20:02] <edisdead> no, it's during startup
[20:03] <mkanyicy> edisdead, do you have a splash during startup?
[20:03] <edisdead> no, well this is a vm
[20:04] <edisdead> after i see vmware splash screen, there is a black screen with uderscore for 2 minutes(which also looks like a very long time)
[20:04] <mkanyicy> what is the message that is displayed when the 'hang' is occuring?
[20:04] <edisdead> and than its do the fsck
[20:04] <mkanyicy> edisdead, ^^
[20:05] <mkanyicy> edisdead, I meant the ubuntu startup splash
[20:05] <edisdead> yes , i understand, well there is no uvuntu slplash
[20:05] <jenev> LjL, if i choose install alongside windows it apparently uses minimal space for linux
[20:05] <jenev> and don't want that
[20:05] <edisdead> i'm running on rc2
[20:06] <escott> edisdead, you could install bootchart to get a better sense of what is going on
[20:06] <edisdead> after the boot is out of the "hang"
[20:06] <edisdead> isee this
[20:06] <edisdead> init: Failed to spawn rsyslog main process: unable to execute: No such file or directory
[20:06] <sanderlt> hello everyone! how to fix problem: sometimes when i reinstall some software it not create folder and config files?
[20:06] <pythonirc101> how do i reverse the changes that this command makes --> update-rc.d paste defaults ?
[20:07] <LjL> jenev: well maybe, i don't quite remember. but anyway i remember that you can set up partitioning manually, and resize partitions from there. but of course if you prefer to use gparted, there's nothing wrong with that. the underlying engine is the same anyway.
[20:08] <jwtiyar> after i formatted my windows now i cant see my ubuntu
[20:08] <escott> jwtiyar, formatted your windows?
[20:08] <edisdead> i'll check this bootchart, looks interesting
[20:08] <mkanyicy> jwtiyar, where was your ubuntu ?
[20:09] <edisdead> wish i saw something more clear at the current logs
[20:09] <edisdead> btw, i also added more ram
[20:09] <edisdead> can that be the cause?
[20:09] <escott> edisdead, it could just be readahead, but thats an awfully long readahead
[20:10] <jwtiyar> escott: yes
[20:10] <escott> !details | jwtiyar
[20:10] <jwtiyar> mkanyicy: was in another hard
[20:11] <mkanyicy> jwtiyar, pastebin us some stuff
[20:11] <edisdead> thanks for the help
[20:11] <mkanyicy> jwtiyar, df -hT | pastebinit
[20:11] <jwtiyar> i had both windows and ubuntu , when i formatted my windows , now cant boot ubuntu
[20:12] <helplubuntu> Hi, how may I know that I have changed from Ubuntu 11.10 to Lubuntu?
[20:12] <escott> jwtiyar, maybe windows overwrote the mbr
[20:12] <escott> !grub | jwtiyar
[20:12] <jwtiyar> mkanyicy: how to code , if i dont have ubuntu now?
[20:12] <jenev> LjL, think i'll resize it from the windows side :)
[20:12] <mkanyicy> jwtiyar, where u at now?
[20:12] <jwtiyar> mkanyicy: new windows ,
[20:13] <konrad> siema
[20:13] <ania_> sema
[20:13] <mkanyicy> jwtiyar, do you have the ubuntu live cd?
[20:13] <jwtiyar> mkanyicy: yes
[20:14] <mkanyicy> jwtiyar, boot on it and open terminal and run these two commands and copy and paste to paste.ubuntu.com
[20:14] <ok_wait> how do i change the number of virtual desktops in 11.10?
[20:14] <mkanyicy> jwtiyar, commands are 'sudo parted -l' and 'sudo blkid'
[20:14] <jwtiyar> mkanyicy: cant boot directly goes to windows
[20:15] <sanderlt> how to fix problem: sometimes when i reinstall some software, it not create folder and config files?
[20:15] <mkanyicy> jwtiyar, you have to boot on the CD
[20:15] <mkanyicy> jwtiyar, if you cant change your bios boot sequence
[20:16] <javier_faj> in ubuntu 11.10, can't see raw pictures preview in nautilus, and I already installed gnome-raw-thumbnailer. Any idea why?
[20:16] <ok_wait> jwtiyar, once you get into linux do sudo grub-mkconfig and copy and paste that output to your /boot/grub/grub.cfg file
[20:16] <mkanyicy> jwtiyar, press either Del, F2, F8 or F12
[20:16] <jwtiyar> mkanyicy: takes too long this procedure .
[20:16] <aeon-ltd> sanderlt: because they may already exist?
[20:17] <mkanyicy> jwtiyar, try what ok_wait is suggesting
[20:17] <mkanyicy> jwtiyar, patience will save you from disaster
[20:18] <jwtiyar> mkanyicy: problem is if i did these procedure i cant talk with ya
[20:18] <helplubuntu> sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop
[20:18] <sanderlt> aeon-ltd: no. it is not. i tryed t reinstall postgre and samba, and in some cases aptget not installed these programs config folders in them
[20:19] <mkanyicy> jwtiyar, get into a live cd and install an IRC client there like xchat or even use empathy
[20:19] <escott> sanderlt, you want to purge them after you uninstall them
[20:20] <foxy999> i am having trouble stopping twoftpd, can anyone help me?
[20:20] <jwtiyar> mkanyicy: ok BRB
[20:21] <shamess> Previously, when a "window" was opened for an application like vim or less it would disappear and show the previous console state. That's stopped happened very recently... (Maybe the last apt-get update?) Where do I get that back?
[20:21] <sanderlt> escott: yes i did this command. but after reinstalling i cant find these files and folders for example /etc/samba
[20:21] <mkanyicy> foxy999, you want to stop it gracefully or just kill/terminate it?
[20:21] <sanderlt> escott: should be some command fixing it.
[20:22] <sanderlt> *to fixing it
[20:22] <foxy999> mkanyicy, well I would like to know the process name or service name
[20:23] <dddbmt> Good evening guys. I've messed around with apache2 (000-default) and I did something wrong. And in my attempts to repair the damages I did even worse damage. Would anyone help me to completely reinstall apache2?
[20:23] <guntbert> foxy999:    pgrep -l ftp
[20:24] <dddbmt> I've tried remove it with --purge flag and reinstall again, which did not work. Btw. in my attempts^ I also did remove the /etc/apache2 folder - which I know was a bad idea.
[20:24] <foxy999> guntbert, it doesn't list anything.
[20:25] <escott> sanderlt, im not sure what files cant it find
[20:25] <milamber> foxy999: ps au | grep ftp
[20:25] <guntbert> foxy999: ok, so type    ps aux | less              and search manually
[20:26] <javier_faj> how to preview raw files (canon cr2) in nautilus if gnome-raw-thumbnailer doesn't work?
[20:27] <escott> javier_faj, you might want to check the libdcraw website to see what programs are recommended
[20:28] <sanderlt> dddbmt: yep.. i had same problem, i just completely delete some program folder, but it not create it after reinstalling
[20:28] <sanderlt> wtf
[20:29] <dddbmt> sanderlt, did you find any solution?
[20:29] <jwtiyar> mkanyicy: i puted my usb to my pc but it only say install ubuntu there is no try ubuntu
[20:29] <shades> is there a command I can run to find out if a package is installed?
[20:30] <foxy999> I believe the process for twoftpd is tcpsvd, but when it is killed it starts again
[20:30] <oCean> shades: apt-cache policy packagename
[20:30] <urlin2u> jwtiyar, is is a alternative download?
[20:30] <aeon-ltd> sanderlt: have you tried running the program or does it fail?
[20:30] <sanderlt> dddbmt:  i was faund. it was some command.. and i still need it..
[20:30] <jwtiyar> urlin2u: yes
[20:30] <sanderlt> dddbmt:  was i faund it in some forum page
[20:31] <badicalia> Hello! I recently installed ubuntu oneiric to test out unity. I've noticed the launcher doesn't seem to accept any themes while the top panel does. Is this what I should expect?
[20:31] <urlin2u> jwtiyar, that is correct then if you want to try it out you need the loive cd.
[20:31] <urlin2u> live*
[20:31] <mrdeb> hi
[20:31] <mkanyicy> foxconnartist, why did you install this twoftpd thing?
[20:31] <sanderlt> aeon-ltd: it working, but i needed to make config file manually.. ;-/
[20:31] <jwtiyar> urlin2u: ok thanks.
[20:31] <urlin2u> badicalia, yes
[20:31] <dannel> badicalia, yes
[20:31] <mkanyicy> jwtiyar, oh well, its not a live cd then
[20:31] <mrdeb> has anyone used the via s3 graphics on ubuntu
[20:32] <mrdeb> ??
[20:32] <dannel> mrdeb, yes 3d doesn't work
[20:32] <mkanyicy> jwtiyar, im afraid that I cannot be of help in windows
[20:32] <badicalia> urlin2u: have you tried the ubuntu unity plugin rotated?
[20:32] <urlin2u> badicalia, rotated?
[20:32] <Gem> how do you switch to 2d mode?
[20:32] <mkanyicy> jwtiyar, maybe some guys here can offer you help, good luck
[20:32] <dannel> mrdeb, I tried before.. the most I got was 2d acceleration for videos, no 3d for compiz etc
[20:32] <urlin2u> Gem, at the loguin
[20:32] <badicalia> urlin2u: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/11/install-ubuntu-unity-bottom-launcher.html

[20:32] <mrdeb> dannel: does 2d work well with sharp resolution or not for lapto[
[20:32] <mkanyicy> foxy999,  why did you install this twoftpd thing?
[20:32] <Gem> badicalia, thanks
[20:32] <dany>  guys , i need to use a tool for downloading youtube videos just like IDM

[20:33] <cousin_luigi> hello
[20:33] <cousin_luigi> is it possible to disable alert sounds?
[20:33] <Radith> Yooo
[20:33] <badicalia> I really like the top panel unity uses, the window buttons in maximize mode mostly. I just wish the launcher wasn't so poorly designed
[20:34] <urlin2u> badicalia, I tried it and didn't really need it I have docky on the bottom
[20:34] <badicalia> urlin2u: do you just remove the launcher from the session?
[20:34] <foxy999> mkanyicy, I am testing out ftp servers
[20:34] <urlin2u> badicalia, no I just use synapse and docky mostly.
[20:35] <badicalia> Do you use the unity top panel?
[20:35] <urlin2u> badicalia, you can shrink the unity panel and set its hide form ccsm
[20:35] <urlin2u> from*
[20:36] <mrdeb> dannel:
[20:36] <dany> mkanyicy, doesn't work for me
[20:36] <mkanyicy> dany, what does it say to you?
[20:36] <dFence> hi guys - having major trouble with ubuntu 11.10 and a eeepc 1005p – I already configured the mic according to the wiki entry in hardware-support, but I still can't get it working...
[20:36] <dinar_> hello. can bad ide connection cause changing bytes in files, that are not being written on at that time, like libvorbis or a php file of a forum, they are changed not when were being updated/replaced. (also probably firefox files changed at that time, because it stopped to start and started to work after reinstallation) file system on that drive is ext4, but i am not sure, may be, ext3
[20:36] <mongy> dany, youtube-dl -o "%(title)s.%(ext)s" youtube_url
[20:36] <badicalia> urlin2u: just found window buttons and global menu for gnome-shell, think i'll see how that works first
[20:37] <mkanyicy> dany, you need to run 'sudo youtube-dl -U' for the first time use
[20:37] <urlin2u> badicalia, you might install gnome 3 and try it as well. Personally I have unity tricked out with the cube and other ccsm stuff so t works nicely.
[20:37] <ManDay> What does the  ERROR:Config: gsettings schema for 'org.gnome.desktop.screensaver' is not installed    indicated, when I'm trying to run ONBOARD?
[20:37] <urlin2u> it*
[20:37] <shades> thanks for the apt-cache
[20:38] <milamber> dFence: the mic is muted by default. right click the sound icon and go into the preferences
[20:38] <mrdeb> dannel: are you there
[20:38] <dFence> milamber: already done that. I also configured it to be only active on one channel oO
[20:38] <milamber> dFence: then run alsamixer and check the levels
[20:39] <dFence> milamber: mic left channel: 100% / right: 0%
[20:40] <milamber> dFence: what program are you using?
[20:40] <SillyTalker> with the older ubuntu versions you had nm-applet, right...
[20:40] <SillyTalker> if you remove the gnome-panel that contains nm-applet... how can you re-add nm-applet?
[20:40] <SillyTalker> in case anyone happens to know
[20:40] <dFence> milamber: Skype and soundrecorder
[20:41] <milamber> dFence: when you go into alsamixer and hit f4 what is the input source?
[20:41] <dFence> milamber: "Capture"
[20:41] <dFence> milamber: other option: "Mic Boost" (both at 100% for the left channel)
[20:42] <bucky> SillyTalker, you don't want your top panel?
[20:42] <milamber> dFence: one sec, let me power up my eee
[20:43] <SillyTalker> bucky, yep, it's for people that are not used to a top panel
[20:44] <dFence> milamber: thx
[20:46] <bucky> SillyTalker, i think you can right click on the bottom panel and add it... if it's installed
[20:46] <dany> mkanyicy, how to use the tool to download the video
[20:46] <SillyTalker> bucky, duh, but its not in the list
[20:46] <SillyTalker> bucky, this seesm to be something "special"
[20:46] <bucky> SillyTalker, is it installed
[20:46] <SillyTalker> duh
[20:46] <mkanyicy> dany, youtube-dl URL
[20:46] <SillyTalker> it was in the panel before i removed the panel...
[20:46] <SillyTalker> why can't anyone READ what i say
[20:47] <SillyTalker> i have to explain everything 321564321 times on IRC
[20:47] <mkanyicy> dany, quote the url in single quotes
[20:47] <bucky> SillyTalker,  i guess your just out of luck
[20:48] <milamber> dFence: imagebin.org/189228
[20:48] <mkanyicy> dany,  like youtube-dl 'http://www.youtube.com/?foo=bar&bar=foo'
[20:48] <SillyTalker> bucky, nope its possible i'm sure
[20:48] <SillyTalker> it's jsut ver well hidden
[20:48] <SillyTalker> since this is something most people NEED
[20:48] <SillyTalker> so they hide it extremely well
[20:48] <dFence> milamber: I don't even get an input-device listed
[20:48] <mkanyicy> !enter  | SillyTalker
[20:48] <bucky> SillyTalker,  most people NEED it so they delete it
[20:48] <dFence> milamber: u running 1005p or pe?
[20:49] <dany> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nS06AvITQnU&feature=context&context=G2267597RVAAAAAAAAAg
[20:49] <dany> mkanyicy, something like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nS06AvITQnU&feature=context&context=G2267597RVAAAAAAAAAg
[20:49] <bucky> rather than drag and drop it first
[20:49] <SillyTalker> bucky, i deleted my PANEL
[20:49] <bucky> duh...
[20:49] <SillyTalker> bucky, if you are clueless please don't respond
[20:49] <SillyTalker> you cant drag and drop it to another panel
[20:50] <mkanyicy> dany, the exact url that plays the video in the browser and quote it in single quotes ''
[20:50] <SillyTalker> if you are clueless please don't reply....
[20:50] <oneliner> escott: are you here around a lot? i solved the nvidia issue and would like you to know it so you can push it forward
[20:50] <milamber> dFence: no idea, there doesn't seem to be a model number on this one. it worked out of the box for me
[20:51] <dFence> milamber: was yours working out of the box?
[20:51] <bucky> SillyTalker,  i don't even have nm-applet... mine is network-manager-gnome
[20:51] <dany> mkanyicy, thankx
[20:51] <bucky> SillyTalker, so is it installed or not
[20:51] <milamber> dFence: it was.
[20:51] <dFence> milamber: here, the wiki specifically said how to enable
[20:51] <SillyTalker> bucky, i said old ubuntu
[20:51] <foxy999> how can i check to see if my system is 32 or 64 bit?
[20:52] <RokcStar> hey guys can ubuntu's video resolution reach well enough to look correct on a 42inch lcd?
[20:52] <milamber> dFence: can you send me the link to what you were following?
[20:52] <mkanyicy> bucky, nm in nm-applet stands for network manager and its the same as yours
[20:52] <SillyTalker> and since it was in the panel beofre i deleted it, and other users still have it...
[20:52] <bucky> SillyTalker, how old
[20:52] <SillyTalker> YES IT IS INSTALLED!!!
[20:52] <bucky> SillyTalker, mine is lucid
[20:52] <dFence> milamber:  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/Machines/Netbooks#Asus_Eee_PC_1005P
[20:52] <SillyTalker> you know what never mind
[20:52] <mkanyicy> !caps | SillyTalker
[20:52] <SillyTalker> this is prely a waste of time
[20:52] <SillyTalker> mkanyicy, no he cannot, this is the third time i'm telling him its installed
[20:52] <bucky> good.. go back to windows
[20:53] <escott> oneliner, id bother to remember nvidia stuff
[20:53] <yeats> !attitude | SillyTalker
[20:53] <escott> oneliner, i don't bother. put it on a forum posting if you want
[20:53] <LjL> good job making him go away
[20:53] <oCean> :(
[20:53] <LjL> he wasn't very good at explaining his problem
[20:53] <LjL> but neither were you at being helpful
[20:53] <LjL> i think he was right, when you can't help, don't speak
[20:54] <RokcStar> stop fighting guys. we're all regular people. and any help is good help
[20:54] <LjL> not really
[20:55] <oneliner> ati lover :P
[20:55] <agage> slt
[20:55] <agage> gbesoin d'aide
[20:55] <pangolin> !fr | agage
[20:55] <mkanyicy> RokcStar, I agree with you
[20:56] <BluesKaj> bad help is worse then no help
[20:56] <Tech-1> people some times spen way to much time digressing in here and tempers flare, relax folks, and be helpfull.
[20:56] <BluesKaj> than
[20:56] <ubuntu25> !grub
[20:56] <mkanyicy> BluesKaj, but there isnt any bad help, its just the context
[20:57] <oCean> mkanyicy: wrong
[20:57] <pangolin> enough, there is such a thing as bad help. Please get back on topic now.
[20:57] <mkanyicy> oCean, thats not bad either
[20:57] <BluesKaj> context mkanyicy ...blah blah , bad help is bad in any context
[20:57] <oCean> also, throwing !factoids is not a solution
[20:57] <mkanyicy> BluesKaj, I agree
[20:57] <Tech-1> ^
[20:57] <mkanyicy> BluesKaj, we are both right
[20:58] <oCean> Ok, let's move on. Try better next time
[20:58] <mkanyicy> oCean, glad that a progress is made
[20:59] <dFence> milamber: it seems, ubuntu classifies the internal mic as "monitor" input device – might that change anything? I had to install pavucontrol just in order to get it working at all.. but why it won't do now... beats me -_-
[21:00] <BluesKaj> I'm still trying to figure our why alsa doesb't connect/link with flash audio on websites ... I need pulseaudio to play webaudio , but I'd prefer not to have pulseaudio
[21:01] <mkanyicy> BluesKaj, and here I was thinking that pulse was using alsa
[21:01] <milamber> dFence: not sure what to tell you. the wiki didn't say anything about installing anything new, just adjusting the levels, but the levels you told me your system is at don't match what the wiki said
[21:01] <dFence> milamber: at 90/10 i had major feedback issues
[21:02] <milamber> dFence: but it was working? did you make any gain adjustments?
[21:03] <dFence> milamber: no adjustments at all, it seems to have resetted it by itself for some reason
[21:03] <milamber> dFence: did you uncheck the box in skype?
[21:03] <raven> flightgear i configured root/joystick.js with path of the Saitek Cyborg-Evo but fg does not seem to recognize it. how to find a solution?
[21:03] <dFence> milamber: yep
[21:04] <milamber> dFence: then i am at a loss, there's not much more i can tell you
[21:04] <BluesKaj> mkanyicy, yes pulse does use alsa , but in some cases like my nvidia onboard sound card I didn't need pulse. Alsa was used by flash directly , but the sound was crappy thru that card , so I installed a m-audio pci soundcard that sounds great but requires pulse for webaudio
[21:04] <dFence> milamber: no prob, thanks for your help!
[21:04] <arky> i'm trying to upgrade natty to 2.6.38.10.25_i386 and I'm getting 404 errors, what do I do?
[21:05] <RokcStar> i once encountered an audio issues that for some reason the output was on Mono instead of Stereo so i found a way to configure that and it worked
[21:05] <RokcStar> maybe you can try another audio control panel?
[21:07] <arky> crap, apt-get just threw a bunch of 404s when I tried to install chromium-browser ... what's up with the Natty repos?
[21:08] <Gulli> Hey, was wondering if I could get some help. I have a bootable USB key (not ubuntu) that I want to boot from, but the grub menu shows no USB and even though I change the boot order in the BIOS it still dosent boot. Anyone know how I can boot from a USB? I have ubuntu and win 7 installed
[21:08] <Gulli> and google does not help ><
[21:08] <mkanyicy> arky, tried to switch to another server?
[21:08] <RokcStar> you can download chromium from google's website cant you?
[21:08] <RokcStar> as a deb file
[21:08] <arky> mkanyicy: uh, how?
[21:08] <LjL> Gulli, usually in modern BIOS you can press F8 or Esc or something to bring up a boot menu
[21:09] <LjL> arky: have you "apt-get update"d? sometimes that just solves 404s.
[21:09] <arky> LjL that did make a difference.  about 137 updates showed up after that.  dunno why it didn't work from synaptic.
[21:09] <Benxyzzy> The software center only lists suggested packages for packages which haven't been installed yet. I just installed a package and now I want to install its suggested packages. How can I see what they are?
[21:10] <Gulli> its not the BIOS, I have changed the boot order there. It always goes to the ghrub menu where I can schoose between ubunutu and win 7
[21:10] <LjL> Benxyzzy: from Synaptic, i don't know, but you can "apt-cache show packagename" from a terminal
[21:10] <RokcStar> Gulli isnt there a key to press while booting to get that menu to show
[21:11] <Gulli> what menu?
[21:11] <LjL> Gulli, well i don't know, maybe the USB is not really bootable, but anyway this isn't really an Ubuntu problem i must say... not entirely sure where you should ask, though.
[21:11] <RokcStar> the grub menu
[21:11] <Gulli> :/
[21:11] <Benxyzzy> LjL: thanks
[21:11] <LjL> rockband: the GRUB menu doesn't have any provision for booting from USB anyway
[21:11] <alishah> hi, am running ubuntu 11.10. How can i install phpunit correctly. I followed few guides online but with every guide i get this error 'Fatal error: ..PHP_CodeCoverage_Filter::getInstance() in /usr/bin/phpunit on line 39'
[21:11] <LjL> it's not supposed to
[21:11] <Gulli> I get the grub menu, always, and there I see windows and ubunutu
[21:12] <LjL> Gulli: yeah, GRUB won't show other bootable devices, that's not its job
[21:12] <Gulli> Yeah I know because of the security ricks
[21:12] <milamber> Gulli: what kind of computer is it?
[21:12] <RokcStar> ohh you want grub to show your usb bootable files?
[21:12] <Gulli> Packard bell easynote LM
[21:12] <LjL> Gulli: not really because of security risks, just because GRUB is supposed to let you pick between the bootable thingies *it knows about*
[21:12] <Gulli> no not really, if I could just boot it manually it would be fine
[21:12] <Gulli> ahh ok
[21:12] <shades> i'm running into a problem setting up postgresql-8.4
[21:13] <milamber> Gulli: did you have to do anything special when you installed ubuntu? have you tried hitting esc?
[21:13] <Gulli> this is another linux distro i have one a bootable usb that I wanted to check out
[21:13] <shades> 'Package postgresql-common is not configured yet.'
[21:13] <LjL> Gulli: it's the BIOS's job to let you boot from other things. so here, either your USB is not really properly bootable, or the BIOS isn't doing its job. that's the two possibilities i can see.
[21:13] <Crupulus> Hey, is it exact that "iwconfig [eth1] txpower off" will disable the wifi card (eth1) ? If so, any idea why it says "SET failed on device eth1 : Operation not permitted" ?
[21:13] <shadowpt> hi
[21:13] <alishah> anyone~! plz tell how to insall PHPUNIT correctly. I always get a weird error which i can't find solution to 'while googling'?
[21:13] <Benxyzzy> The software center's search is appalling. You'd think searching 'mesa' would get you, oh, I don't know, some mesa stuff. Nope, just a software rubix cube
[21:13] <arky> yah, my desktop bios WILL NOT boot thumb drives.  I have to keep buying cd-roms...(sigh)
[21:13] <alishah> i am running ubuntu 11.10 with php5-fpm and nginx
[21:14] <LjL> Crupulus: maybe you need sudo?
[21:14] <arky> Benxyzzy: that's why there's synaptic and apt-get.
[21:14] <Crupulus> tried with sudo, it says nothing
[21:14] <Crupulus> but doesn't seem to have any effect
[21:14] <Crupulus> LjL^
[21:14] <Crupulus> :/
[21:14] <Benxyzzy> arky: synaptic, here I come
[21:14] <LjL> Crupulus: well i think you'd want "rfkill" to disable the wifi card anyway
[21:14] <Gulli> milamber, nope, didnt have to do anything special, i actually installed ubunutu from a usb stick
[21:14] <aeon-ltd> arky: heard of PLOP
[21:14] <aeon-ltd> ?
[21:14] <Gulli> maybe the usb stick isent correctly made
[21:15] <Gulli> gonna try to make it again
[21:15] <arky> aeon-ltd: i've *heard* of it, never tried it.
[21:15] <aeon-ltd> arky: supposedly it can force boot from any medium from any host medium
[21:15] <milamber> Gulli: that's what i am leaning towards, and if it is the same usb stick make sure you wipe the boot section
[21:15] <Gulli> yup, I'll try that
[21:15] <arky> aeon-ltd: so you're saying a plop boot cd could then chainload other bootable distros off my thumb drives?
[21:16] <conntrack> haha
[21:16] <Nikyo> ********************** Just wanted to stop in, and wish everyone a great upcoming holiday(s) :-) ********************************
[21:16] <flowta> Hi. In which package I will find mount.vfat?
[21:17] <LjL> Nikyo: thanks, but no need to spam with all those *'s
[21:17] <Nikyo> LjL: Roger that.
[21:18] <jondot> hi all. wondering if ubuntu works on Zotac ZBox with an AMD M1 E350 chipset?
[21:18] <philonthehill> this a good place for lubuntu 11.04 help ?
[21:18] <LjL> philonthehill: i suppose so, but there is also a #lubuntu channel
[21:18] <glebihan> flowta, I don't think that exists. Just use "mount -t vfat"
[21:18] <arky> philonthehill: sometimes.  I know a very few things.
[21:19] <shadowpt> hi.. im new working with linux.. can someone helpme.. like giving me a few tips.. or a few lessons even ^^'' plz?
[21:19] <philonthehill> putting a desktop shortcut to docs folder in windows on other partition is one query, login without password entry the other
[21:19] <milamber> !manual | shadowpt
[21:20]  * shadowpt thanks
[21:21] <conntrack> I wonder what the perfect setting are
[21:22] <arky> philonthehill: I always put my shortcuts into the pcmanfm side pane.
[21:22] <Nurse_Kun> Does anyone know what networking protocols Nautilus supports?
[21:22] <bucky> Nurse_Kun, gvfs !
[21:22] <Nurse_Kun> Like does it support WebDAV or SSH or Rsync or S/FTP?
[21:23] <Nurse_Kun> okay cool, thanks bucky
[21:23] <bucky> smb ?
[21:23] <Nurse_Kun> hmm?
[21:23] <arky> Nurse_Kun: may want to try grsync -- separate gui frontend for rsync.
[21:23] <glebihan> Nurse_Kun, it supports all of those (except rsync, which is not a protocol)
[21:23] <Nurse_Kun> arky: yeah, I've tried and am not suer how to specify password and the like
[21:23] <bucky> Nurse_Kun, it's pretty cool because with gvfs you can drag and drop files from one computer to another
[21:24] <tensorpudding> gvfs supports webdav, ssh, s/ftp, smb
[21:24] <bucky> Nurse_Kun, also there's a command line interface to gvfs
[21:24] <Nurse_Kun> cool beans, webdav is good enough I guess
[21:24] <tensorpudding> so they should all be supported through nautilus too
[21:24] <LjL> !info libgnomevfs2-extra | Nurse_Kun, this gives it WebDAV support
[21:24] <philonthehill> I'll try that arky, good idea
[21:24] <tensorpudding> you need special URI's to reach them
[21:24] <shades> Hey guys, I'm having a hard time finding a good guide on configuring postgresql on ubuntu...
[21:25] <Nurse_Kun> thanks LjL and all, much obliged
[21:25] <tensorpudding> or you can go to File -> Connect to server
[21:25] <sina2> how can i delete files from root folder
[21:25] <pnorman> shades: there's not really much ubuntu-specific for configuring postgresql
[21:25] <arky> Nurse_Kun: sorry, my knowledge of use is VERY limited -- I use it to back stuff up from one local drive to another.
[21:25] <LjL> sina2: by escalating your privileges using sudo. but, why would you want to do that?
[21:26] <tensorpudding> you can browse smb using the Windows Network
[21:26] <sina2> i want to know about del code in ubuntu !!
[21:26] <LjL> shades: suppose you've already been at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostgreSQL ?
[21:26] <Nurse_Kun> it's cool, I'll just use Nautilus arky, thanks anyways
[21:26] <LjL> sina2: "del code"?
[21:26] <arky> sina2: deleting files from / is nearly always a Bad Idea.  deleting files from /root is .... probably a bad idea too.
[21:26] <sina2> yeah, if i want to delete a file, what code must i use
[21:27] <LjL> !rm | sina2
[21:27] <shades> LjL I don't beleive I have, thanks for the link. IO'm on a 500-9000bytes/second connection atm
[21:27] <shades> hard to look for anything really ;(
[21:27] <LjL> sina2: it's called a "command", not a "code"
[21:27] <LjL> shades: well it refers to old releases unfortunately, but it might still be good enough. it's somewhat detailed at least.
[21:27] <dFence> can anyone tell me a ubuntu-compatible usb-headset?
[21:28] <sina2> ok, sorry i'm sad because of sth, so what is command-line to delete a file in ubuntu
[21:28] <shades> LjL is there a command I can run to find out what 'server.domain.org' is on my system?
[21:28] <LjL> sina2: i just told you
[21:28] <LjL> shades: "host server.domain.org"
[21:28] <RokcStar> type rmdir --help
[21:28] <shades> cat /etc/hosts ? ubuntu.localdomain ?
[21:28] <arky> sina2: are you getting a "permission denied" error when you try to delete stuff from / directory?
[21:29] <sina2> no, I don't know what is delete command-line?
[21:29] <shades> LjL will that set the domain to 'server.domain.org' ?
[21:29] <pnorman> shades: Try also looking at the postgresql documentation and wiki. The ubuntu wiki refers to 8.1 and 8.4 and there are some significant changes in 9.x
[21:29] <Atlantic777> What's the safe way to remove all kubuntu (kde) related packages?
[21:29] <LjL> shades: uhm no, perhaps i got your question wrong...
[21:29] <LjL> shades: it will tell you what IP corresponds to that host
[21:29] <shades> pnorman: I have 8.4
[21:29] <LjL> Atlantic777: there isn't really a way, but if you remove kdelibs, it'll remove most of the stuff at least
[21:30] <shades> LjL I'm trying to figure out what: psql -h <goeshere> database user
[21:30] <glebihan> !puregnome | Atlantic777
[21:30] <LjL> shades: localhost?
[21:30] <Atlantic777> tnx glebihan, that's what I'm looking for
[21:30] <arky> sina2: try http://dl.dropbox.com/u/397277/bash_shell_cheat_sheetV2.pdf
[21:30] <glebihan> Atlantic777, you're welcome
[21:30] <shades> LjL when I use localhost I'm told it could not connect to server: Connection refused
[21:31] <sina2> ok, thankyou, i get it
[21:31] <LjL> shades: seems like your postgres isn't running then
[21:31] <LjL> shades: does ps aux | grep postgres say anything?
[21:31] <Tuna-Fish> How can I make the dock not hide itself?
[21:31] <pnorman> shades: You shouldn't need to do -h if it's on the local machine
[21:32] <shades> LjL it just contains the line item tha I ran using grep
[21:32] <shades> in otherwords, it's not running yet
[21:32] <LjL> shades: ok, then it isn't running. try issuing "sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql start" (note, that's probably not the most current version of that command, just the one i know)
[21:32] <shades> service --status-all shows 'postgresql.dpkg-new'
[21:32] <RokcStar> right clock on the dock and click Panel Preferences
[21:33] <pnorman> LjL: That is still current. (although the script might be an alias to some upstart based command)
[21:33] <yeats> LjL: that's still correct
[21:33] <shades> shy is it howing up at postgresql.dpkg-new instead of postgres ?
[21:33] <LjL> shades: no idea :(
[21:33] <LjL> shades: are you sure it finished installing? like, apt didn't fail?
[21:34] <shades> LjL I'm having an issue running dpkg -i postgresql-8.4 saying that postgres-common 'ins't configured'
[21:35] <LjL> shades: ah i see, try running "sudo apt-get -f install"
[21:35] <onitaL> greetings, This is a general computer related question: I'm planing to buy a usb flash drive to store music and connect it to my car's stereo. Now that winter is here, you think most usb drives can be left all the time inside the car?
[21:35] <conntrack> Is telnet better than ssh?
[21:35] <LjL> onitaL: i'd try asking in ##hardware or #ubuntu-offtopic
[21:35] <LjL> conntrack: absolutely not
[21:35] <ssta> dpkg --configure -a
[21:35] <conntrack> I think it is
[21:35] <onitaL> cool, thanks LjL
[21:35] <LjL> conntrack: then why ask
[21:35] <pnorman> conntrack: telnet is different than ssh. for connecting to a computer to issue commands, ssh is secure. telnet is still useful sometimes
[21:35] <TomM_> Package install wont close.
[21:36] <JoseeAntonioR> Hello! Does anyone know how to prevent Wi-Fi from turning off when a laptop suspends because I close the lid? Wi-Fi turns on after I unlock the PC.
[21:36] <shades> LjL what is this supposed to do?
[21:36] <RokcStar> i leave my usb wherver
[21:36] <LjL> shades: it tries fixing any breakage in apt, by installing or removing packages
[21:36] <RokcStar> even in the car
[21:36] <conntrack> cheers
[21:37] <shades> LjLthe last line of output said it started the postgresql 8.4 database server
[21:37] <LjL> shades: good, try connecting to it again then
[21:38] <black> Hello
[21:38] <Lobita> a net caiu
[21:38] <Lobita> estas ai?
[21:39] <shades> this howto is telling me to connect to it with a user that doesn't exist, why doesn't it go into creting the user first?
[21:42] <shades> is there  a quick command to run to tell me if a .deb package requires any packages that aren't installed on my systemyet?
[21:42] <ssta> dpkg --no-act -i foo.deb?
[21:43] <shades> no that isn'tit...
[21:43] <badbandit> is there a way to make the bottom of the top nav the boundary of screen in 11.10? All applications open at the top of the physical screen which is underneath the top nav bar and thus it's a pain in the ass to keep dragging new windows back down...
[21:44] <ssta> why isn't that it?
[21:44] <badbandit> not sure if this is a common problem but it started when i upgraded
[21:47] <shades> ssta i have a package that clearly requires dependancies but that command did not list them
[21:47] <bucky> shades sudo apt-get install <package_name> -s
[21:48] <LjL> bucky: that won't work if he has a .deb package floating around
[21:48] <bucky> LjL, he said dpkg --no-act -i foo.deb didn't work so I'm assuming that's not the case... either that or it's not in his working directory
[21:49] <bucky> LjL, do you have your psychic hat on today?
[21:49] <glebihan> shades, dpkg-deb -f filename.deb Depends
[21:49] <LjL> bucky: if the package *is* in APT, then i don't see why he wouldn't just do "apt-cache show packagename"
[21:49] <LjL> bucky: i have my common sense hat on.
[21:49] <LjL> bucky: so far you've seemed to lack that entirely.
[21:49] <bucky> LjL, ask him
[21:50] <bucky> LjL, some jerk comes in here and mocks me  now I'm the subject of your scrutiny?
[21:50] <LjL> bucky: tone down.
[21:50] <shades> glebihan: that'll list the dependancies, but it doesn't tell me which of those listed are or aren't installed ;(
[21:50] <airtonix> i'm looking for a music server that plays music on a central set of speakers and lets office staff vote for the next track to be played
[21:51] <glebihan> shades, doesn't really matter, run "sudo apt-get install list_of_depends" it will only install those who aren't already installed
[21:51] <LjL> shades: what i usually do is, install it anyway, then "sudo apt-get -f install" to fix what's missing.
[21:51] <bucky> LjL, I'm the reason Matt Asay left... do you want to pursue this
[21:51] <LjL> bucky: i want to ensure your help in this channel is constructive.
[21:52] <RokcStar> airtonix...nice project.
[21:52] <LjL> bucky: and please don't call anyone a "jerk" in here again.
[21:52] <bucky> LjL, who died  and made you God?
[21:52] <shades> glebihan: this machine doens't have internet acces, i have to manuallyput them on the box and then install them in order
[21:52] <airtonix> RokcStar: yeah it's looking like i'll have to bust out quick django project to accomplish it
[21:52] <CarlFK> bucky: please stay on topic: ubuntu support.
[21:52] <CarlFK> that works too.
[21:53] <RokcStar> airtonix why not use last.fm or pandora?
[21:53] <LjL> !etiquette > bucky
[21:53] <airtonix> RokcStar: i think ampache will do it.
[21:53] <RokcStar> users can remote onto the music server and change music genres
[21:53] <bucky> LjL, I'll take a private message from you... i don't do bots
[21:54] <LjL> bucky: your problem. from now on, i expect you to follow the guidelines i've sent you to the letter.
[21:54] <airtonix> RokcStar: i actually only want them to vote for the next track
[21:54] <RokcStar> ive never heard of ampache..im going to look into that :D
[21:54] <CarlFK> shades: hi!  synaptic has File, "Generate Package Download Script"  that you run somewhere else
[21:54] <airtonix> RokcStar: since the music comes from our ISPs subsidised digitially imported 256kbps stream i don't want to let them download it
[21:54] <LjL> !offline | shades, this might help
[21:54] <glebihan> shades, "dpkg-deb -f filename.deb Depends | xargs apt-cache policy" will bring up a few error messages but will also for each dependency indicate whether it's installed or not
[21:55] <shades> I have to use a download manager for packages due to a flakey connection ;(
[21:55] <airtonix> RokcStar: it's kinda ugly since it's php and they don't really respect that you may have your apache virtualhosts setup in a particular way (so it's pretty difficult to get the ampache running on a subdomain)
[21:56] <ssta> shades: guess the best you can do is list the dependencies and check if they're all installed
[21:56] <LjL> shades: well it should be easy to extract the package names from the generated script, it's just a text file
[21:56] <LjL> shades: s/package names/URLs/
[21:56] <CarlFK> shades: you have a shell account somewhere?   run the scrip there, use rsync to pull the files over the flaky
[21:57] <RokcStar> airtonix, how long did it take you to configure it?
[21:59] <Crupulus> Hi, I'm having troubles with "rfkill", so apparently rfkill list should indicate me which devices are available to use, right?
[21:59] <LjL> Crupulus: yeah, as far as i know that's what it does. tell you which devices have rfkill set.
[22:00] <Crupulus> well when i plug the external usb card, it adds one on the list, but it just won't find the internal one that was working earlier
[22:00] <shades> ssta I guess I'll have to do that
[22:00] <sparr> This may be an Ubuntu, Gtk, or Wx bug. I am seeing multiple Wx-based apps die at the same time with the following assertion: Gtk:ERROR:/build/buildd/gtk+2.0-2.24.6/gtk/gtkfilesystemmodel.c:746:gtk_file_system_model_sort: assertion failed: (r == n_visible_rows)
[22:00] <Crupulus> however i think it's a device that is hybrid (wifi/bluetooth) and it only shows in the list "0: hci0: Bluetooth)
[22:01] <shades> CarlFK: it isn't enough packages/wwork to warant doing that. I was just hoping there'd be a quick command to run then <package> then expect a list of stuff that's not installed but I guess there isn't
[22:01] <shades> I manuallypulled them all just now
[22:02] <shades> ok this is real annoying when I did "vi INSTALL" in this document everywhere there is a carrage return I see a ^M in a blue colour, whyu is this happening?
[22:02] <CarlFK> LjL: any clue if there is a cli version of "Generate Package Download Script"  ?
[22:03] <[random]> Hi, I'm running 11.10 and having a bit of problem with system settings - nothing i change there actually takes effect. Any reason this could be happening?
[22:04] <LjL> CarlFK: not quite the same thing, but there is apt-offline
[22:04] <aeon-ltd> [random]: what are the changes you are making?
[22:04] <CarlFK> shades: it was created on a win/msdos box
[22:04] <geeb> hrm.. is it possible to install to install ubuntu/gnewsense/opensuse from a hard drive partition?
[22:04] <geeb> -to install*
[22:05] <Crupulus> LjL, since I tried block/unlock, it seems to affect the external usb card, but now i just have no clue why the internal card won't activate, and i don't think "rfkill list" is actually giving details on that card.. any idea why ?
[22:05] <shades> CarlFK: I didn't see this ^M when I viewed this exact same file on a RHEL4 system....
[22:05] <LjL> Crupulus: no, i'm afraid i don't know :( not running Ubuntu at the moment so i can't really try tinkering with it
[22:06] <daniel_mircea> hi, can anyone recommend a good java-open-source-projects chat room ?
[22:06] <LjL> daniel_mircea: if ##java is not the place, then it's probably at least a better place to ask about it
[22:06] <Flannel> shades: Is this a fresh install of Ubuntu? or have you installed vim?
[22:07] <CarlFK> shades: vi/m has ways of detecting and displying the 2 ways termiating lines. it is a config setting.
[22:07] <daniel_mircea> thanks
[22:07] <shades> it is not a fresh install
[22:07] <glebihan> shades, for future reference : "gdebi --apt-line filename.deb" does what you were looking for
[22:07] <Flannel> shades: Have you installed vim? or are you using vim-tiny?
[22:08] <Flannel> shades: That may be why, but you can hide the ^Ms (not changing the file, just the way vim displays it) with `:e ++ff=dos`
[22:08] <shades> glebihan: lol gdebi isn't installed ;(
[22:08] <shades> Flannel: thanks
[22:08] <glebihan> shades, oh right I forgot it wasn't in the default install anymore...
[22:09] <shades> invalid argument
[22:09] <CarlFK> glebihan: what does it expect in the way of a file name?
[22:09] <shades> erm nm I forgot to hit escc first
[22:09] <glebihan> CarlFK, what do you mean ?
[22:09] <CarlFK> glebihan: er, it seems to want a file, not a package name. what should the file be?
[22:09] <Flannel> CarlFK: gdebi expects a path to a deb file, not a package name
[22:09] <glebihan> CarlFK, just as Flannel said^^
[22:10] <Flannel> CarlFK: so, if you've downloaded a file to somewhere in your homedir, the path to that file in your homedir
[22:11] <CarlFK> k - so its close to what shades (and me sometimes) wanted, but you have to get the .deb first
[22:11] <shades> it still says the package 'gdebi' is currently not installed, I have to install it before i can use it
[22:12] <Flannel> CarlFK: No, I don't think gdebi is very much like a 'generate package download script', it just installs [arbitrary deb] and resolves dependencies from the repositories.
[22:12] <CarlFK> different problem: how do I convert an rpm to a deb?  i want this in a package: http://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=firecontrol
[22:13] <LjL> !info alien | CarlFK
[22:13] <ssta> CarlFK: alien
[22:13] <Flannel> (as opposed to dpkg, which doesn't resolve dependencies, and apt, which only installs debs from the repositories)
[22:13] <glebihan> CarlFK, alien, but it's usually a bad idea to use it
[22:13] <CarlFK> some day I am going to see what synaptic does for "generate .. script"
[22:13] <Crupulus> (newbie) - What are the different places i should go to try to 'reactivate ?' my wifi card that was working right before i played around with rfkill block/unblock ? I guess if I reboot it's gonna work... lspci does show the card, i have the drivers, etc.
[22:13] <Crupulus> ty
[22:16] <[random]> aeon-ltd: i didn't make any changes, really
[22:16] <[random]> that's what boggles my mind. it was after updates that it went bonkers
[22:19] <dhanson> #LTD
[22:19] <CarlFK> um.. so alien made firecontrol_0.2-8_amd64.deb - I was hoping to have something I could load into my PPA
[22:19] <sturd> I've created a live disk with a USB drive along with some persistent storage etc...  Is it possible to edit the bootup scripts to stop it from loading into the default 'liveuser' account and present a login screen?
[22:19] <CarlFK> sturd: why not just install to the usb stick?
[22:20] <sturd> Ah does that work ok?
[22:20] <CarlFK> yes
[22:20] <sturd> I'm an idiot...
[22:20] <CarlFK> meh.  journey of discovery is fun :)
[22:21] <sturd> haha true.  Thanks for the pointer though
[22:21] <wendell> #ubuntu-br
[22:23] <shades> if I want to install java for ubuntu the package I want is ________ ? openjdk-6-jre-headless? I thought I wanted a jdk not a jre
[22:23] <sturd> shades: The jdk is the development kit.  If you just want it for running applets then you need the jre
[22:24] <CarlFK> sudo gdebi firecontrol_0.2-8_amd64.deb ... Setting up firecontrol (0.2-8).  firecontrol: command not found.  Um.. so ... how do I make a working deb from a rpm? :)
[22:24] <Ashfame> I just setup a dual boot system (Win 7, Ubuntu 11.10) but the grub points to the recovery partition instead. Should I just edit the grub.cfg for that?
[22:25] <CarlFK> Ashfame: start with  /etc/default/grub
[22:25] <CarlFK> Ashfame: I am not sure what you should edit, but /boot/foo  isn't it
[22:25] <Ashfame> CarlFK, thanks for the pointer
[22:25] <Crupulus> anyone got experience with wifi, cards & ubuntu, and time so i can explain the situation in private ? (writing a wall here doesn't work) thanks
[22:26] <undecim> How can I make a file that will link to a web page that will work in both Ubuntu and Windows?
[22:26] <shades> sturd: aha thought so.. I think I will need the jdk
[22:26] <undecim> Other than just an HTML file with a link, of course...
[22:26] <Crupulus> java?
[22:26] <shades> hmm when ubuntu runs in a bvm and you try ot mount an iso it doesn't like to install off of it using the ubuntu software center, I guess I have to do a symbolic link?
[22:28] <aguitel> anyway to upgrade 10.04 to 12.04 ?
[22:29] <[random]> so if i'm not sure what update(s) has screwed with ubuntu, is it wise to just uninstall all the updates?
[22:29] <ssta> aguitel: backup first
[22:29] <aguitel> ssta, ok but how i do?
[22:30] <ssta> aguitel: do-release-upgrade
[22:30] <ssta> aguitel: not sure whether upgrading straight from 10.04 to 12.04 is supported though
[22:30] <ManDay> In which package can I find the file  /usr/include/gnu/stub.h ??
[22:31] <aguitel> ssta, this command say :No new release found
[22:31] <ssta> aguitel: 12.04 isn't released yet
[22:31] <ssta> aguitel: and you probably said "LTS releases only"
[22:31] <aguitel> ssta, yes
[22:33] <Shizuo16> Hello All ...
[22:34] <Shizuo16> Some one is here ?
[22:36] <symptom> anyone know how to fix the random screen dimming issue?
[22:40] <CarlFK> http://firecontrol.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/firecontrol/trunk/  configure.in ...  how do I automake configure?
[22:44] <raven> which tools is useful to "draw" notes?
[22:44] <bastidrazor> ssta: LTS to LTS upgrades are supported
[22:45] <ssta> CarlFK: it's (potentially) fairly complex: http://airs.com/ian/configure/
[22:45] <ssta> bastidrazor: ah, thanks.  I wasn't sure
[22:46] <happyface> Bluetooth is on in the tray icon, but when I open bluetooth preferences it says off. How can I diagnose my bluetooth radio?
[22:47] <shades> oh jfc I'm having ahard time getting this software updater to like the mounted .iso instead of specifying a cd to install java off of
[22:47] <shades> this is ridiculous, I have to finda blank cd for it to work 8 |
[22:49] <jakr> why doesnt login screen show up when i search for it?
[22:50] <ssta> "search for it"?
[22:50] <ace__> I just installed 11.10 64 bit on a new machine I just built. It is lagging real bad. If I click on a program, it takes a while before it actually opens. Here's what hardware I have: Asus M5A97 Evo Motherboard, AMD FX 6100 6 core processor, 8 gb PNY XLR8 DDR3 1600mhz RAM, Nvidia Geforce GT430 graphics card. Does anybody see a problem with any of the hardware listed?
[22:52] <jakr> ssta: i click no dash home and type in the search bar
[22:52] <ssta> jakr: what are you trying to do exactly?
[22:54] <jakr> ssta: i want to remove unity
[22:54] <Calinou> ace__: have you installed closed source drivers?
[22:55] <Calinou> likely main problem
[22:55] <ssta> jakr: ah.  there are a lot of ways to do that (in different ways).  one way is to install gnome-session-fallback, and then you'll have a gnome-session option on the login screen
[22:55] <JasonGriffee> how do I un-install a sound driver?
[22:56] <jakr> ssta: i dont want to install something when i should be able to chagne using login screen
[22:56] <ssta> jakr: you have to install something to change *to*
[22:57] <ssta> 10.10 only has unity
[22:57] <ace__> Calinou, Yes
[22:57] <jakr> i just want to return to the classic desktop, i dont have 10.10
[22:57] <ssta> by default anyway.  Other things are available, but you have to install them
[22:57] <Calinou> there is no gnome 2 on 11.10, unfortunately
[22:58] <ssta> jakr: ah, well then, you should be able to logout and change the desktop on the login screen
[22:58] <ace__> Calinou, The proprietary driver box popped up as soon as I logged in for the first time. The only driver was the Nvidia driver
[22:58] <Calinou> use the "current"
[22:58] <Calinou> not an older version/nouveau driver
[23:00] <norbert_> hi all, I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 and I'm trying to screen record, but the colors are (gamma is) to bright when I playback; I tried both xvidcap and ffmpeg for recording, and vlc, totem and mplayer for playback... any ideas how I can fix this?
[23:01] <norbert_> *too
[23:01] <shades> i'm running into dependancy hell trying to track down all these packages for java
[23:01] <shades> is there an easier way?
[23:02] <norbert_> (I'll ask in #ffmpeg instead)
[23:02] <jikay> there?
[23:02] <ikonia> shades: if you install java with the package manager the deps should be gotten automatcially at the same time
[23:03] <jikay> i need help
[23:03] <jikay> hello
[23:04] <norbert_> shades: # apt-get install apt-rdepends; apt-rdepends openjdk-7-jdk
[23:04] <norbert_> shades: for example
[23:04] <bastidrazor> shades: yeah, get internet to that box.
[23:04] <shades> bastidrazor: I can't
[23:04] <ikonia> !aptoncd > shades
[23:04] <shades> ikonia: I don't have internet
[23:05] <shades> to that machine
[23:05] <bastidrazor> shades: then what do you expect?
[23:05] <ikonia> shades: check the message ubottu has just sent you and it will explain how to do it on another box and save it to a Cd
[23:05] <ikonia> shades: you can then use that CD as a repo to install onto your machine without internet
[23:06] <shades> I odn't have that program and I don't have linux on the machine that can get online
[23:07] <fmeta> hello!

[23:07] <shades> it's running in a vm, that's probably why, bt I also tried mounting the iso and that didn't work either
[23:07] <peteski> Has anyone seen that sort of thing before?
[23:07] <ikonia> shades: then you have made it wrong - re-check the process ubottu sent you
[23:07] <fmeta> any "kworker" infected users here?

[23:16]  * fmeta looks around.
[23:17] <shades> deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 10.10 _Maverick Meerkat_ - Release i386 (20101007)]/ maverick main restricted
[23:17] <fmeta> almoxarife: am i? who would that be?
[23:17] <NoRegulation> well they were on my desktop and thought they were in my 'appearance' in system settings and i deleted them on desktop and they were also deleted in 'appearance ' also
[23:17] <ikonia> shades: is that what your CD's label is ?
[23:18] <fmeta> so, anyone facing problems with a process called kworker ?
[23:18] <fmeta> perhaps a few of these processes ?
[23:18] <fmeta> or somone with a solution to this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/717919
[23:18] <fmeta> or http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1630347&page=5
[23:18] <shades> ikonia: er not quite it's "Ubuntu 10.10 i386"
[23:19] <ikonia> shades: ok - so what did the guide ubottu sent you tell you to do
[23:19] <almoxarife> NoRegulation: if you had background pics in your home folder and you deleted them, then their disappearing from available choices else where makes sense
[23:19] <NoRegulation> ssta:Thanks
[23:20] <hotea> got a question that i cant seem to find the answer to
[23:20] <NoRegulation> almoxarife:thanks
[23:20] <fmeta> hotea : go ahead.
[23:20] <hotea> i  have linux installed on my computer and windows
[23:20] <fmeta> aha.
[23:20] <hotea> is there anyway to virtually mount the windows i have and open it in linux
[23:20] <fmeta> well yes
[23:20] <JasonGriffee> histo, it's not that, im trying to un-install the intel sound card driver to force the usb sound driver
[23:20] <zero_> yes
[23:20] <fmeta> is it an ntfs partition hotea?
[23:21] <hotea> uh theres no partion on my hard drive
[23:21] <hotea> actually there is i think
[23:21] <NoRegulation> that will be my next learning step with the command line,,,the command to send a pic from the desktop to usr/share/backgrounds
[23:21] <almoxarife> NoRegulation: no need
[23:21] <hotea> no theres no partion
[23:22] <zero_> no partition?
[23:22] <hotea> nope
[23:22] <fmeta> lovely.
[23:22] <hotea> i just installed linux from my external hard drive using daemon tools
[23:22] <zero_> *cough*
[23:22] <fmeta> hotea type /part
[23:22] <hotea> and it didnt ask me to make a partion
[23:22] <fmeta> that should solve it
[23:22] <hotea> why would i want to leave?
[23:23] <fmeta> would do something else in this case.
[23:23] <pangolin> !behelpful | fmeta
[23:23] <br0adcast> hi guys
[23:23] <hotea> to do it i would have to make a partion to my hard drive?
[23:24] <elneif> i need some help?
[23:24] <Rods_Tiger> Opening Ubuntu Software Centre simply results in a blank white window.
[23:24] <br0adcast> guys does anybody have experience with UCK or remastersys for creating a custom installer?
[23:24] <elneif> i cant log into ubuntu , i think my HD is full,
[23:24] <elneif> i used ext2explorer
[23:24] <elneif> but i dont know where are my files are in the directory structer???
[23:25] <br0adcast> /home/user probably elneif
[23:25] <shades> ikonia I'm running into dependncy issues when I try to install that, even though it's on the cd and I tried running root@ubuntu:/media/Ubuntu 10.10 i386/pool/main/c/cdrom-detect# dpkg -i cdrom-detect_1.32ubuntu5_all.udeb
[23:25] <zero_> /home/username/
[23:25] <elneif> its empty :S
[23:25] <ikonia> shades: why are you using dpkg
[23:25] <ikonia> shades: why are you not following the guide you've been given ?
[23:25] <shades> is there a better way?
[23:25] <ikonia> shades: why are you root
[23:26] <RokcStar> hottea are you trying to 'virtually'-use a windows installation that you have as a dual boot option?
[23:26] <ikonia> so many why's
[23:26] <ikonia> shades: I've given you the guide, and asked you multiple times to follow it yet you seem to not do this for some reason
[23:26] <shades> ikonia it didn't send a guide, it just said to install a package
[23:26] <shades> dpkg is how i've been installing packages
[23:26] <ikonia> shades: that is not a good idea
[23:26] <hotea> because my windows crashes alot
[23:26] <ikonia> shades: one moment
[23:27] <hotea> and there are still programs on windows that i would like to run from timr to time
[23:27] <almoxarife> hotea: can you afford to re-install win?
[23:27] <ikonia> shades: https://help.ubuntu.com/11.10/serverguide/C/apt-get.html
[23:27] <zero_> depending on what programs you want to run from time to time you could try to install them in WINE
[23:27] <ikonia> shades: https://help.ubuntu.com/11.10/serverguide/C/aptitude.html
[23:27] <hotea> ugh
[23:27] <ikonia> shades: is there a reason you are not using the gui software package managers ?
[23:28] <RokcStar> i think hottea should explain in what manner his windows system was installed with
[23:28] <OffGridOps> ubuntu 11.10:  trying to get thunderbird to load my mail at my website and get server timed out.  anyone have ideas?  thanx
[23:28] <atapia984> ??
[23:28] <br0adcast> anyone used ubuntu UCK?
[23:28] <hotea> i had windows installed on computer
[23:28] <hotea> earlier today i installed ubuntu
[23:28] <br0adcast> OffGridOps, add the correct mail server address
[23:28] <crassus> How do you format a usb drive in Ubuntu to FAT32 ?
[23:28] <hotea> and i want to virtually load windows on ubuntu
[23:28] <crassus> !formatting crassus
[23:28] <hotea> so that when it crashes i can reload it eaily
[23:29] <RokcStar> ohh
[23:29] <hotea> and not have it inturrupt whatever else im doing
[23:29] <br0adcast> vmware hotea
[23:29] <almoxarife> hotea: fine, install the package virtualbox, then load win within virtualbox
[23:29] <br0adcast> or that..
[23:29] <hotea> i tried that
[23:29] <br0adcast> and what happened?
[23:29] <hotea> it kept giving me erroe messages
[23:29] <almoxarife> hotea: 'that'??
[23:29] <hotea> saying it couldn find the widnws
[23:29] <RokcStar> almoxa, does vbox let you run os installations not installed using vbox?
[23:29] <br0adcast> so you need to do something different
[23:30] <br0adcast> the windows cd?
[23:30] <hotea> dont have the windows cd
[23:30] <OffGridOps> i used what my provider gave me mail.xxx.xxx and admin@xxx.xxx for username  ssl/tls port 2525
[23:30] <shades> ikkonia yes there is it is not finding my cdrom/iso/etc
[23:30] <br0adcast> download it
[23:30] <almoxarife> RokcStar: I am not understand
[23:30] <shades> otherwise I would have prefered to install off the cd
[23:30] <shades> ikonia: I'm not sure how to 'fix' this
[23:30] <hotea> i could do that but thats not what i wanted to do
[23:31] <br0adcast> meh.. nabs
[23:31] <hotea> i wanted ot load my copy of windows
[23:31] <hotea> not a different copy
[23:31] <RokcStar> almoxarife, i asked if virtualbox lets you run OS installations not done with Virtualbox. for exmaple: trying to load a partition of
[23:31] <RokcStar> Windows
[23:31] <hotea> if it isnt possible then ok
[23:31] <zero_> hotea...if you have no install disk, and you have a piece of software like acronis or ghost, you could try to make a .iso copy of the windows partition and load it
[23:31] <almoxarife> RokcStar: it says it can, if you are willing to do a lot of work to turn the partition into a vdi
[23:31] <zero_> into virtualbox or VMware
[23:32] <hotea> i guess not
[23:32] <RokcStar> ahh..i knew that..you would need to do a lot of work first then.
[23:32] <elneif> the problem im facing is that when i enter my password, it logs in the kicks me back to the loging page :S
[23:32] <hotea> i think ill wait till i get a new puter
[23:32] <hotea> then wipe this one and jsut have it load linux
[23:32] <RokcStar> you cant just open a program, click your windows install and hope it loads
[23:32] <hotea> thanks anyways
[23:32] <hotea> different question
[23:33] <crassus> I know about the mkfs.ntfs command
[23:33] <hotea> anyway to trasfer all of of utorrent files to linux and have them keep seeding?
[23:33] <crassus> and am trying `sudo mkfs.ntfs /media/USBDIR'
[23:33] <hotea> without going one by one
[23:33] <crassus> and it's saying it's a directory, and that it cannot open it
[23:33] <dany> hi guys , i downloaded xamp but when i start installing it get errors check here if you can help http://paste.ubuntu.com/774783/
[23:33] <crassus> there used to be a way to format from Nautilus itself
[23:35] <almoxarife> hotea: a torrent is just that, the client sets it up to seed, so, given there are lots of torrent clients in ubuntu, that's not an issue
[23:35] <crassus> GParted
[23:35] <crassus> that's it
[23:35] <hotea> i tried using qtorrent i think it was
[23:35] <hotea> and when i tried to link the files fron windows
[23:35] <hotea> it said error
[23:36] <almoxarife> !info transmission
[23:36] <hotea> even when i linked them to same filder
[23:36] <hotea> transmission didnt work eaither
[23:36] <hotea> it wouldnt even let me set the download folder
[23:36] <RokcStar> maybe utorrent has some form of transfer to new client option. but ithink the confiruation from utorrent and what files u have seeded or downloading are saved in the application folder of your user in windows
[23:36] <dany> hi guys , i downloaded xamp but when i start installing it get errors check here if you can help http://paste.ubuntu.com/774783/
[23:37] <hotea> yes and i can open them just fine in linux
[23:37] <aguitel> how disable screensaver in 11.11 ?
[23:37] <hotea> i was playing vidoe files from there
[23:37] <RokcStar> no, now the downloaded folder. the Application Data folder of your windows user account
[23:37] <RokcStar> not*
[23:38] <hotea> um i didnt go into there
[23:38] <almoxarife> hotea: you are now talking torrent and not ubuntu, I will say this, in ubuntu using transmission, I create torrent and it seeds, simple like that
[23:38] <RokcStar> thats where the utorrent application saves what settings you hav
[23:38] <hotea> thanks rokc
[23:39] <dany> hi guys , i downloaded xamp but when i start installing it get errors check here if you can help http://paste.ubuntu.com/774783/
[23:39] <OerHeks> dany ubuntu provides LAMP, xamp is not supported afaik
[23:39] <jakr> Many applications are missing from system settings like janitor and login screen. even if i search for them.  Are they hidden
[23:39] <dany> so how to install that lamp
[23:39] <RokcStar> but almox has a point. im sure if you find the downloaded .torrent files that windows saves or utorrent saves in its application data folder, you could run those on another bit torrent program and simply start seeding
[23:40] <sorahn> hey guys, i'm having trouble getting sudo to work.  I can SU just fine.  and if i look at the sudoers file I have "%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL" and my user is in the admin group.
[23:40] <dany> OerHeks, how to install lamp or even how to start it
[23:40] <bfri> does anyone know of a good vpn client program that has audio capabilities?
[23:40] <sorahn> and it was working before. the only thing that's happened recently is i changed the root password, but again, I can still su, just not sudo.
[23:41] <badbandit> how do I make the top navigation bar the top of the screen area so application windows don't go underneath it in 11.10?
[23:42] <OerHeks> dany this is an easy howto >> http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_lamp_for_newbies  else the server guide >> https://help.ubuntu.com/11.10/serverguide/C/httpd.html
[23:42] <Acorn> Is there any way to launch an application from the shell and force it to have focus?
[23:42] <piotr__> hello
[23:42] <elneif> can some one help me find this ( .mozilla/firefox/xxxxxx.default/Cache) i think it has a lot of videos, so i can delete them ??
[23:43] <RokcStar> why not just delete the cache from within firefox?
[23:44] <savid> Anyone know how to get webgl working in Chrome?
[23:44] <bfri> does anyone know of a good vpn client program that has audio capabilities?
[23:45] <RokcStar> if you open Terminal and type ' cd .mozilla/firefox then once that loads run ls and then keeping going until you hit the directory you want to view then rmdir to remove it
[23:45] <Si2100> Heya
[23:46] <linxme> ..
[23:49] <dmz41> savid: should work by default.

[23:51] <elneif> @swian, my ubuntu HD is full, i cant loging, as soon as i enter my pass i get sent back to the loging page, so im trying to know what to delete using ext2explorer from my windows 7
[23:52] <Swian> how big is your ubuntu partition?
[23:52] <elneif> 100GB
[23:52] <Swian> good enough size, what did you put on it?
[23:53] <elneif> well i have it for a couple of years i think i used most of the data, i have movies and other stuff, but i think ( i think i have alot of files here  ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/Cache/*  )
[23:53] <googles> ugh hooray for buggy qt, really screwed yourselves with unity :(
[23:53] <googles> apt-get purge banshee
[23:53] <elneif> i used most of the HD *
[23:53] <RokcStar> elneif can you browse to your users directory? you should see the .mozilla/firefox... inside of your user directory /home/username/.mozilla/firefox....
[23:54] <elneif> it encrypted i cant read the files names, just a bunch of hashsed file names
[23:54] <RokcStar> oh ..
[23:54] <RokcStar> not good
[23:54] <googles> and now mplayer takes it roll >_>
[23:54] <googles> fml
[23:54] <googles> role*
[23:55] <elneif> such as ( ECRYPTFS_FNEK_ENCRYPTED.FWbL-sJ9.8K6ZkRl7JuDFCOWEFGexM3tUKie-H2 ...etc )
[23:55] <elneif> i can log in into the recovery mode
[23:55] <Swian> that's a bummer, and why I save all important data onto the server or secondary drives
[23:56] <der0> I lost my virginity :(
[23:56] <Swian> congrats
[23:56] <elneif> :S i do have back up of important data,
[23:56] <der0> Seriously I can't find it :(
[23:56] <elneif> but i dont want to lose the non important data as well,,
[23:56] <Swian> elneif then wipe it and start over
[23:56] <Swian> oh
[23:56] <elneif> hehehhe :s
[23:56] <Swian> I wipe often
[23:56] <RokcStar> elneif have you researched if not being able to log in has anything to do with you running out of hd space?
[23:57] <elneif> yes
[23:57] <shades> updating cache 3.5~ out of 7,660 and every time i hit the ceiling it still goes up, how big is this cache???
[23:57] <RokcStar> and if you ran out of hdspace, how did you find out, are you able to see your space usage?
[23:57] <elneif> actully can i get the command line that if i enter it , it will delte the files under that folder ?
[23:58] <RokcStar> i think this could would but you may need to edit the syntax rmdir /home/user/.mozilla/firefox/xxxxx.default/cache
