| phil_ | my bfg geforce 9800gt graphics card keeps crashing :( | 00:00 |
| vouth | helena: I'm looking, and have the 'cursor theme' panel there. Probably I'm just being stupid but I don't see where to change the size… | 00:00 |
| ssbr_ | ugh | 00:00 |
| e2b04836 | b1llydev: /etc/apache2 | 00:00 |
| XiaolinDraconis | anyone on 11.10 have luck changing the cursor? completely | 00:01 |
| vouth | helena: where is it? | 00:01 |
| b1llydev | e2b04836: thanks, what does the etc folder contain? just all application config files? | 00:01 |
| helena | vouth: in fact I am not sure, but i think i already changed it in the 'computer administration' > 'keyboard & mouse' | 00:01 |
| e2b04836 | it contains a lot | 00:01 |
| e2b04836 | including config files | 00:01 |
| vouth | helena: ok, thanks… I'll look there | 00:01 |
| iToast | You guys | 00:01 |
| Holehearted | e2b04836, postgres is also 1000 in the booted up enviornment ... Maybe this is changed in a script during the boot process? I just don't want to break anything related to postgres. | 00:01 |
| iToast | Ubuntu on p4 with 512 mb ram or amd cpu with 1gb ram | 00:02 |
| Holehearted | iToast, what are you wanting to do with it? | 00:02 |
| Holehearted | iToast, it's really just up to you | 00:02 |
| iToast | Holehearted: web server and reuse the rest of the diskspace as a network drive | 00:02 |
| iToast | or a external HDD as a network drive. | 00:02 |
| e2b04836 | Holehearted: to be honest i'm really not sure and i don't want to give you advice that'll end up breaking something | 00:03 |
| phil_ | HOW DO I USE A .RUN FILE IN UNBUNTU 11.10??????????? | 00:03 |
| e2b04836 | wow, don't shout please | 00:03 |
| helena | vouth: if you don't find it, in the 'mouse' section, in 'cursor theme', you can install new themes | 00:04 |
| Holehearted | iToast, you don't need 1GB RAM for a personal web server and NAS, if that helps you make the decision any | 00:04 |
| phil_ | i want to install a graphics driver help | 00:04 |
| ikonia | phil_: best to not use caps if you want a response | 00:04 |
| iToast | Holehearted: Any guides on using it as a NAS | 00:04 |
| ikonia | phil_: don't use a .run file, what card do you have, nvidia or ati | 00:04 |
| Holehearted | e2b04836, alright, thanks | 00:04 |
| helena | vouth: themes with a bigger cursor size may certainly exist | 00:04 |
| cgkades | phil_: chmod +x the .run file | 00:04 |
| iToast | simple guides. as in not secure it. | 00:04 |
| e2b04836 | phil_: chmod +x <file> then ./<file> | 00:04 |
| cgkades | phil_: then ./<file> | 00:04 |
| phil_ | iknonia: have nvidia | 00:04 |
| just4fun | ty l xangua i try asap | 00:04 |
| iToast | Holehearted: the nas doesnt need to be secure :) | 00:04 |
| ikonia | phil_: use the hardware drivers tool | 00:04 |
| ikonia | phil_: then supported drivers will be installed | 00:04 |
| ikonia | phil_: the ones provided from .run can provide long term problems | 00:05 |
| Nach0z | alright got a new issue for yall. I'm trying to boot from a Ubuntu 11.04 CD-R I just burned, and it says getpwuid_r() failed due to unknown user ID 0. then the installer hangs at "skipping nonexistent file" etc etc. any ideas? | 00:05 |
| vouth | hmm, thanks. Basically the problem is I'm actually using GNOME but I have KDE installed and use them sort of side-by-side. The GNOME size is pretty small — how I like it — the whiteglass theme, but when I choose whiteglass in KDE it gets big in KDE programs suddenly. It's just a little disconcerting to have my cursor keep changing size :-P | 00:05 |
| phil_ | ikonia i tried that my 9800 gt keeps crashing | 00:05 |
| just4fun | ty l ubottu i try it for 2nd choice | 00:06 |
| ikonia | phil_: which driver did you select ? | 00:06 |
| Holehearted | iToast, http://lmgtfy.com/?q=ubuntu+NAS | 00:06 |
| phil_ | both of them | 00:06 |
| phil_ | the updated and the other one | 00:06 |
| iToast | Holehearted: You think I didn't try that. | 00:06 |
| iToast | For the last few days | 00:06 |

| iToast | Google is far from perfect | 00:06 |
| justdave | I'm using 10.04LTS... I remember in older versions there was a blacklist in the Login Screen control panel to list accounts you didn't want shown on the login screen. Where do I go to edit that now? It's no longer in that control panel. | 00:07 |
| Holehearted | iToast, what weren't you able to accomplish? | 00:07 |
| iToast | Holehearted: Allowing network'ed machines to access the nas | 00:07 |
| vouth | In Itune$, there is a way to display each album with the cover art in a column to the left (I don't know what that's called). Is there anything similar in Banshee? | 00:07 |
| phil_ | lasts about 5 mins then crashes | 00:07 |
| phil_ | has the same problem windows 7 thats why i swapped to unbuntu and it still dont work :( | 00:08 |
| Holehearted | iToast, how do you want them to be able to access it? FTP? HTTP? SMB? | 00:08 |
| phil_ | think i might just give up and buy a different card | 00:08 |
| iToast | Im not shrue how to explain | 00:08 |
| iToast | Using samba so it can be mapped as a network drive | 00:08 |
| Holehearted | Samba = SMB | 00:09 |

| asava | OffGridOps: these 1080p videos? | 00:21 |
| ascheel | shadowh511: that's not a question. just sayin' | 00:22 |
| OffGridOps | yeah probably as that's what the camera records hd i think | 00:22 |

| ubufanity | hi everyone | 00:24 |
| iToast | sypatic package manager | 00:25 |
| OffGridOps | @asava: no mplayer installed | 00:25 |
| boldfilter | How do you get the dashboard launcher back from 11.04 | 00:25 |
| Toph2 | iToast,,, ok,, trying | 00:25 |
| asava | try installing it | 00:25 |
| OffGridOps | No command 'mplay' found, did you mean | 00:25 |
| asava | pretty sure it was mplayer | 00:25 |
| asava | let me double check | 00:25 |
| OffGridOps | ok be back in a sec | 00:25 |
| vouth | I am getting no sound output. I have the cable plugged into the headphone port on the front of the computer. I have checked that nothing is muted. The output device is 'Simultaneous Output', the only available device. What could cause this? | 00:26 |
| asava | yeah it's mplayer | 00:26 |
| asava | use your package manager to install | 00:26 |
| asava | pretty lightweight package | 00:26 |
| yacc | Anyway to make Ubuntu not use a certain module (ahci.ko to be specific) in initramfs? | 00:26 |
| OffGridOps | mplayer is installed | 00:27 |
| OffGridOps | do i need to run sudo? | 00:27 |
| asava | to install mplayer yes | 00:27 |
| asava | to watch the video, no | 00:27 |
| helena | vouth: your audio card may not recognized by the system ? | 00:27 |
| OffGridOps | mplayer is installed checked it thru the software center | 00:28 |
| OffGridOps | if its called movie player i used it to try to open the videos earlier | 00:28 |
| asava | so go to the directory the .mov is in, and run mplayer yourmovie.mov | 00:28 |
| asava | run it from command line | 00:28 |
| vouth | helena: Perhaps. How would I check? | 00:28 |
| OffGridOps | ah going there now | 00:29 |

| almoxarife | on a normal working no glitch 11.10 at a restart I see ' asking ....... all process to stop Failed" it's the only fail and it does not seem to effect anything, the question is where did it get logged? I want to know what fails everytime | 00:31 |
| histo | sumosu: http://www.panticz.de/MultiBootUSB this page will provide some insite | 00:31 |

| eselle | not sure if this is an ubuntu or vmware issue, but im trying to install ubuntu within a VM on my windows 7 machine but when I try to give my computer a name it just says 'That name already exists on the network' even through the names are unique | 00:32 |
| sumosu | histo: thanks i'm gonna give it a shot | 00:32 |
| histo | eselle: which computer provides that error? | 00:33 |
| eselle | histo, its the only virtual machine | 00:33 |
| sumosu | histo: uh wait that won't work because i have to specify a partition | 00:33 |
| helena | vouth: sudo aplay -l | 00:34 |
| helena | vouth: if you see 'no soundcard found' it is not good :) | 00:35 |
| leftist | test | 00:35 |
| eselle | ah, I apparently needed to put in a password | 00:36 |
| eselle | odd error | 00:36 |
| savid | Is there somewhere on an ubuntu server where it's hostname is stored other than in /etc/hostname? I've installed a service that's apparently trying to use the old hostname, but I changed the hostname before I started the service. The "hostname" command shows the new hostname. | 00:37 |
| vouth | helena: it says: "**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****". | 00:37 |
| OffGridOps | @asava: so i went and manually reinstalled everything following: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/install-mplayer-and-multimedia-codecs-libdvdcss2w32codecsw64codecs-on-ubuntu-11-10-oneiric.html#more-12577 | 00:37 |
| asava | work? | 00:38 |
| vouth | helena: That's all. I think it basically means 'no soundcard found'. | 00:38 |
| OffGridOps | I still get: president@OffGridOps:~/Videos$ mplay Son Dancing.MOV | 00:38 |
| OffGridOps | No command 'mplay' found, did you mean: | 00:38 |

| sl00 | Hi. I have 10 old computers (some maybe with different hardware). How can I get them to act as one single computer? I also want to be able to add/remove computers to this "cluster" with ease. | 00:38 |
| helena | vouth: yes because normally, it is something like : **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** | 00:39 |
| helena | card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: blabla | 00:39 |
| OffGridOps | ok | 00:39 |
| vouth | hmm. | 00:39 |
| asava | sl00: look into salt or puppet | 00:39 |
| vouth | helena: I guess that means I don't have a card installed. I thought the computer had onboard sound but I guess it doesn't! | 00:39 |
| vouth | helena: I'll install one then :-) | 00:40 |
| helena | :) | 00:40 |
| helena | vouth: good luck : | 00:40 |
| helena | :) | 00:40 |
| vouth | Next up is the compiler issue :-P | 00:40 |
| vouth | Thanks! :-D | 00:40 |
| vouth | helena: (As you can probably tell, I have about ten million issues at the moment :-D) | 00:41 |
| helena | vouth: i am not sure to find the others :p | 00:41 |
| sl00 | asava: Is that for building a "super computer"? | 00:41 |
| vouth | hehe | 00:41 |
| asava | sl00: no it's for standardizing a group of computers | 00:41 |

| e2b04836 | whoops, /etc/hostname should work* | 00:42 |
| Guest16822 | dear Dr could I consider my fully updated version of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS to be the equivalent of 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat for referencing purposes or is it more complicated than that ? | 00:44 |
| OffGridOps | @asava: weird stuff. says Son Dancing.MOV does not exist as Son and Dancing. Does the same if I add ___ | 00:44 |
| OffGridOps | I can simply change to mp4 though so no biggie | 00:44 |
| sumosu | hmm goona give the boot a shot:) | 00:45 |
| e2b04836 | OffGridOps: the filename has spaces, put it in "s | 00:45 |
| OffGridOps | ok so like "Son Dancing".MOV or "Son Dancing.MOV" | 00:46 |
| asava | in a terminal you have to type Son\ Dancing.MOV | 00:46 |
| e2b04836 | "Son Dancing.MOV" | 00:46 |
| asava | escape the space | 00:46 |
| OffGridOps | Homerun there e2b04836. so yeah i need to get rid of the spaces i dumped the files from W*ndows. | 00:47 |
| OffGridOps | is mplayer the same thing as when it asks to run the video using Movie Player? | 00:48 |
| asava | nope | 00:48 |
| OffGridOps | so is there a gui type of way to play them or is this basically it then | 00:48 |
| asava | mplayer has a control panel you can call up | 00:49 |
| asava | i'll have to look, don't know off the top of my head | 00:49 |
| asava | i only use gui for a couple things | 00:49 |
| OffGridOps | ok i will read up on it and i really want to thank y'all for taking time to work w/me! i always learn alot here! | 00:49 |
| almoxarife | OffGridOps: mplayer and movie-player are diff, movie-player is 'totem' (not bad for what it does) mplayer get all the attention though | 00:51 |
| OffGridOps | ultimately i will probably convert all the vids i have as i want to keep them on here. i love ubuntu and been using it since 10.x days! | 00:52 |
| almoxarife | OffGridOps: and mplayer does have a nice gui, why have to learn how to do space shot/vectors when all you want is to watch something | 00:53 |
| almoxarife | !info mplayer-gui | 00:53 |

| almoxarife | xangua: I was not investigating, I was offering up an app from a question | 00:57 |
| almoxarife | ant0neo: probably, I can't see anyone spitting hairs over the diff between the two | 01:00 |
| OffGridOps | Gnome mplayer is a winner! thanx! | 01:00 |
| almoxarife | OffGridOps: glad the 'factoid' was of use | 01:01 |
| ant0neo | thanks almoxarife I am having issues configuring Skype and it is my camera which I have Ubuntu documentation that might assist though there is no mention of 10.04 LTS only 9.04 & 10.10 I heard that later versions of Ubuntu used different files that... .etc etc | 01:03 |
| justdave | I'm using 10.04LTS... I remember in older versions there was a blacklist in the Login Screen control panel to list accounts you didn't want shown on the login screen. Where do I go to edit that now? It's no longer in that control panel. | 01:05 |
| almoxarife | ant0neo: can you get the camera to work with vlc? without going all script-kiddie that is how I saw my camera just work | 01:05 |
| asava | google talk has some good libariers as well to get cameras to work | 01:06 |
| asava | but if you want to use skype, yeah | 01:06 |
| reki | grub isn't installed by default on the livecd? | 01:06 |
| reki | i'm trying to get to a grub prompt, but it isn't installed | 01:07 |
| Boreeas | Oh man, I timed out before getting an answer | 01:07 |
| almoxarife | ant0neo: get them people who want to skype to google/voice/video, then use pidgin to talk/see them, no reason video/chat needs to be hell | 01:07 |
| Boreeas | Let's try again | 01:07 |
| Boreeas | I got a broken pipe while having an rsh to a screen on a remote computer | 01:07 |
| Boreeas | So, now when I get back on, I'm obviously detached, but I can also not resume the screen | 01:07 |
| brendan6 | What's are the different values the left most column of file permissions contain (as viewed by ls -la). Particularly what's the difference between crw-rw-rw- vs brw------- I know columns 1..9 are permissions but what does bit 0 represent? | 01:07 |
| Boreeas | There is a screen on:7350.minecraft(16.12.2011 14:00:33)(Attached)There is no screen to be resumed matching minecraft. | 01:07 |
| Boreeas | Any Iade how to fix this? | 01:07 |
| vouth | Whenever I try to build something, I get: "error: C compiler cannot create executables", and the log says "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lc". What's happening here? | 01:08 |
| asava | Boreeas: try either detatching screen 17350 or using -x to attach to it | 01:09 |

| Metroshica | I've installed Ubuntu 11.04 on various VMs (both in VMWare and VirtualBox) and I always seem to come across this issue. When it loads the desktop, the top and bottom panels look alright for about 20 seconds, they are the normal black color of the standard Ubuntu theme. However, right after that, they turn grey, and look like taskbars out of an old Windows 98 machine. If I choose a different appearance, that affects windows fine, but it doesn't change the | 01:11 |

| tensorpudding | phil_, running it as your regular user won't work then | 01:13 |
| Metroshica | DrPenguin, I believe so, I login in with only Ubuntu selected as the desktop manager. I've selected Ubuntu Classic Theme and it does the same thing | 01:14 |
| phil_ | tensor ok ran it in terminal tells me it has to be run as root?? | 01:14 |

| Metroshica | DrPenguin, Yea, I haven't had issues with 10.04. I hate Ubuntu 11, it just happens to be the only iso I have on this computer right now, I'm about to give up and just install 10.04, never had a single issue with that version | 01:16 |

| vouth | DrPenguin: I've installed all the common tools etc I thought I'd need. Is there an easy way to tell what's missing? | 01:18 |
| DrPenguin | vouth: a quick loko at the man page says you may be misisng /lib/crt0.o | 01:18 |
| vouth | DrPenguin (Sorry, I know next to nothing about development) Ok, I'll look and see if it's there… | 01:18 |
| phil_ | tensor i did that and my graphics card keeps crashing hence i want to use the .run from geforce | 01:18 |
| DrPenguin | Oh wait I misread the man page | 01:18 |
| DrPenguin | vouth: so, lets back track, when you say build something, is this you compiling from source? or any c program | 01:19 |
| vouth | DrPenguin: Well I definitely don't have that file there. | 01:19 |
| itsnotabigtruck | phil_: you're really better off with the package, why was it you aren't using it? | 01:19 |
| vouth | DrPenguin: It's Mesa (the graphics library) | 01:19 |
| DrPenguin | vouth: ok I think your actually missing libc.a | 01:19 |
| phil_ | its i am using it but it crashes my graphics card | 01:20 |
| vouth | DrPenguin: I'm hoping the newer version (that isn't in the 10.10 repos) will support the graphics chipset I have | 01:20 |

| edbian | NeedHelp, numlock | 01:25 |
| DrPenguin | vouth: ok so you have the package, but it could be that libc.a is not in ld's search path | 01:25 |

| Kieraan | Are you using the desktop version with a GUI? | 01:32 |
| zorlac | how do i change it so my zorlac account can paste files into that folder\ | 01:32 |
| Nach0z | wow. um. DrPenguin, the pendrive installer is just showing a gray screen with rings, and if I hit anything it says "password required" o_0 | 01:33 |
| zorlac | using ubuntu 10.04 | 01:33 |
| Kieraan | zorlac: Open the terminal | 01:33 |
| Metroshica | zorlac, go into /var/www and do a ls -l, check to see who the owner of index.html is. If it's root, then you either need to change permissions or you need to do it as root | 01:33 |

| Metroshica | zorlac, that will make it so you are the owner, but the group is www-data, so apache can still make edits, after you do the chmod, still in /var, type in sudo chmod -r 775 www, that will give apache permission as well | 01:34 |
| DrPenguin | Clayman1000x: sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper? you still ned the inf from the driver though | 01:35 |
| Nach0z | DrPenguin, there's no default anything. nothing's listed in the thing, it just says "hit tab to edit options" or something | 01:35 |
| DrPenguin | Nach0z: hmm.. thats… weird | 01:35 |
| Nach0z | it's really weird. I can't figure out what's goin on | 01:36 |

| vouth | DrPenguin: Nope, didn't even get that far! :-P | 01:37 |
| DrPenguin | vouth: do you have libc6-dev installed? | 01:38 |

| Nach0z | DrPenguin: says it's a directory. no can do. | 01:40 |
| edbian | Clayman1000x, that is not a question, ndiswrapper and ndiswrapper-gtk are in the repos, are you sure you need ndiswrapper at all? | 01:40 |

| tomodachi | K1rk: are you using ubunut? | 01:42 |
| K1rk | DrPenguin: I don't think I have explained myself well enough. I have 3 monitors. But 2 of the monitors are showing up as 1 monitor with a resolution of 3840x1080, so even with using Xinerama etc, it's treating those 2 as 1 monitor... and it's WEIRD. | 01:42 |
| vouth | DrPenguin: Yes, I do have libc6-dev installed. | 01:42 |
| DrPenguin | K1rk: that doesnt make sense.. show me your Xorg.conf | 01:42 |
| DrPenguin | vouth: look at the configure file, see where or how its looking for libc.a | 01:42 |
| vouth | DrPenguin: I tried adding a line /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/xen/ to /etc/ld.so.conf and then running ldconfig but I got the same error. | 01:43 |
| thornhill | edbian: yes, that's what I want, but can't I just comment out the line and add it back in if I so desire at a later date? | 01:43 |

| edbian | thornhill, yes, comment out the line and run sudo update-grub | 01:43 |
| vouth | DrPenguin: 32bit | 01:43 |
| OerHeks | Clayman1000x, askubuntu has the answer > http://askubuntu.com/questions/48563/could-anyone-help-me-get-my-netgear-wna3100-broadcom-bcm43231-wireless-adapter | 01:43 |
| DrPenguin | K1rk: X is probably just barfing when it tries to autoconfigure.. X isnt good at autoprobing / configuring for proprietary drivers | 01:44 |
| K1rk | DrPenguin: Also take a look at this. https://goput.it/m98.png | 01:44 |
| DrPenguin | K1rk: you should manually set it up in your X Server how you want it to be | 01:44 |
| thornhill | edbian: thanks! | 01:44 |
| vouth | DrPenguin: the other line in /etc/ld.so.conf is include /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf. | 01:44 |
| edbian | thornhill, sure, try it and make sure it works | 01:44 |
| werty9d | google asks for password from me for using image editor on android . what the heck? :) | 01:44 |
| vouth | DrPenguin: IN that folder are GL.conf@ i686-linux-gnu.conf libasound2.conf libc.conf | 01:44 |
| edbian | thornhill, My instructions are from memory | 01:45 |
| thornhill | I don't see windows in the file | 01:45 |
| DrPenguin | werty9d: this isnt the android irc | 01:45 |
| edbian | thornhill, mmmm, yeah I think it's more complicated than that | 01:45 |
| edbian | thornhill, what do you have in /etc/grub/ ? | 01:45 |
| pnorman | I'm getting errors when I try to use a drive connected to my SAS/SATA card. The errors are unhandled error code, hostbyte=DID_BAD_TARGET driverbyte=DRIVER_OK (see http://paste.ubuntu.com/778157/ for more). The card is a supermicro AOC-SAS2LP-MV8 using a Marvell 88SE9480. Any suggestions for what to do? I have not yet installed drivers. The Supermicro FTP site has drivers for Redhat, Fedora, SUSE and CentOS. | 01:45 |
| DrPenguin | pnorman: if there isnt a driver pkg available for ubuntu.. you can probably use alien to convert the rpm into a deb | 01:46 |
| Muggotronica | Hello, I am trying to configure a computer to have multiple monitors, it is working, but there are a few things I want to change. First off, on one screen when windows are maximized they go off the screen, and second I want to set each monitor as a seperate desktop. How can I establish this configuration? | 01:46 |
| thornhill | edbian: I'm not sure, what are we looking for? I have /etc/grub.d folder... | 01:46 |
| DrPenguin | Muggotronica: you need Xinerama for that | 01:46 |
| troll_ | UBUNTU IS DEPRICATED. | 01:46 |
| pnorman | DrPenguin: Would the lack of the driver package potentially cause these errors? | 01:46 |
| troll_ | UBUNTU IS DEPRICATED. | 01:46 |
| K1rk | Muggotronica: If you have nVidia graphics the proprietary nVidia drivers have tools which (in my experience) will make configuration work great and easy. However I am here because I'm having trouble with the drivers & my new Fermi 560. lol | 01:46 |
| edbian | thornhill, sorry typo, /etc/grub.d/ contains files. Each file is a thing in the grub menu that can be booted | 01:46 |
| DrPenguin | pnorman: well if you dont have the driver.. you cant expect it to work | 01:46 |
| edbian | wow | 01:46 |
| pnorman | DrPenguin: Some cards have support built into the kernel | 01:47 |
| DrPenguin | pnorman: this one obviously doesnt? | 01:47 |
| Muggotronica | DrPenguin: K1rk: How do I find out what video hardware I have and please direct me to some specific information about Xinerama. | 01:47 |
| edbian | thornhill, I'm researching | 01:47 |
| DrPenguin | Muggotronica: lspci | grep VGA will tell us the card | 01:47 |
| K1rk | DrPenguin: I disagree that Xinerama is needed. on nVidia cards, there's nVidia TwinView which will do the same thing without the need to disable Compiz effects. | 01:47 |
| K1rk | Xinerama may be needed on ATI cards | 01:48 |
| werty9d | hehe check the tickets on card :) | 01:48 |
| K1rk | I'm less familiar with ATI | 01:48 |
| DrPenguin | K1rk: Well, as I said earlier, I do not know about Twinview, Ive only used Xinerama and Xrandr | 01:48 |
| troll_ | UBUNTU IS DEPRICATED AND ANNIHILATED/ | 01:48 |
| DrPenguin | werty9d: stop spamming the channel with random mesages | 01:48 |
| DrPenguin | troll_: SHUT UP | 01:48 |
| DrPenguin | God what is with the random people here | 01:48 |
| xangua | DrPenguin: don't feed | 01:48 |
| pnorman | DrPenguin: It has some support, but may not be complete | 01:48 |
| e2b04836 | dont feed the troll dude | 01:49 |
| K1rk | pnorman: Can you describe your configuration to me? You have a single GPU with two DVI ports and two monitors hooked up yes? | 01:49 |
| Muggotronica | DrPenguin: It is an Intel graphics card. | 01:49 |
| Nach0z | hey DrPenguin, gotta bug you one more time. How do I refresh the list of hard drives in fdisk? | 01:49 |
| troll_ | UBUNTU, HAS GOT GRAPHICS PROBLEMS. IT IS DEPRICATED. | 01:49 |
| DrPenguin | Nach0z: refresh the list? fdisk should just show you what the kernel sees | 01:49 |
| vouth | DrPenguin: In GL.conf is /usr/lib/fglrx. In i686-linux-gnu.conf http://wklej.se/5640 In libasound2.conf is /usr/lib/alsa-lib. In libc.conf are 2 lines: "# libc default configuration" and "/usr/local/lib" | 01:49 |
| DrPenguin | Muggotronica: ok.. so I think Xinerama is the way there.. | 01:49 |
| Nach0z | hrm. so if I had my sata drive unplugged... | 01:49 |
| werty9d | yeh ubuntu is alot depricated troll but what isnt :) | 01:49 |
| pnorman | K1rk: Were you intending to ask me that? | 01:49 |
| K1rk | Oh sorry Muggotronica I think I nick called someone else instead of you. | 01:50 |
| pksadiq | troll_: just say whats the problem, my be someone here can help | 01:50 |
| K1rk | pnorman: No I think I meant Muggotronica. been long day. | 01:50 |
| edbian | thornhill, Read number 7 here | 01:50 |
| troll_ | UBUNTU IS PRETTY MUCH DEPRICATED. | 01:50 |
| vouth | troll_: we're obviously Ubuntu users here, if you're just going to insult it you probably won't get any help fixing whatever complaints you have about it. | 01:50 |
| hanasaki | the most current clamav is not detecting this virus: is there an update that will? TR/Spy.ZBot.JD | 01:50 |
| edbian | thornhill, removing one thing from grub 2 is a pain in the butt now! | 01:51 |
| Nach0z | troll_: it's spelled "deprecated" | 01:51 |
| K1rk | DrPenguin: I believe, in my research while working on my monitors project recently, that Xinerama will have to be fixed or depriciated in future releases, as it is not compatible with Compiz, and I believe Unity is a compiz based desktop. lol | 01:51 |
| e2b04836 | l0l | 01:51 |
| Nach0z | :P | 01:51 |
| troll_ | UBUNTU IS DEPRICATED, ... | 01:51 |
| musl | heh, correcting a troll's spelling is like pissing in te wind. | 01:52 |
| DrPenguin | K1rk: Well, X is being deprecated, Wayland may be able to do all this cute stuff | 01:52 |
| Muggotronica | K1rk: DrPenguin: I think I have missed a post or something, I have no experience with Ximerama. | 01:52 |
| K1rk | DrPenguin: Wayland? I haven't heard of that. | 01:52 |
| tonsofpcs | how do I install l2tp for network manager? | 01:52 |
| DrPenguin | K1rk: Its supposed to be a new Protocol that replaces X | 01:52 |
| edbian | Wayland is vaporware | 01:52 |
| Muggotronica | K1rk: #wayland | 01:52 |
| tonsofpcs | I triedd xl2tpn and that's apparently not the right package | 01:52 |
| intok | How can I force what GPU is the default? I've got a craptacular Dell that doesn't have a BIOS option to disable the IGP, I've got a PCI GPU(Geforce 6200/NV44a) but some full screen games like Braid and the terminal shells accessed by ctrl+alt+F* combos give just a blank screen. | 01:52 |
| pksadiq | can I enlarge the filesystem created by ubuntu Wubi installer ? | 01:53 |
| xangua | pksadiq: no | 01:53 |
| DrPenguin | Internet13: force what GPU is the default? your dell has dual GPUs? | 01:53 |
| tonsofpcs | intok: sounds like a framebuffer/no-framebuffer issue | 01:53 |
| Nach0z | DrPenguin: got another issue now. The ubuntu is hanging on the purple screen with the dots... hitting alt-tab is telling me "unable to open /dev/sda" and glib-warning getpwuid_r() failed due to unknown user id 0 | 01:53 |
| werty9d | pks.. there is partition editors that can do it | 01:54 |
| DrPenguin | crap not Internet13, intok, your dell has dual gpus? | 01:54 |
| thornhill | edbian: read number 7? | 01:54 |
| bile_mchn | Nach0z: press the 's' keyto skip mounting. | 01:54 |
| K1rk | DrPenguin: I have never written an xorg.conf before from scratch but I am willing to try. Is there a command I can run to ask my video card what its monitors are? | 01:55 |
| Nach0z | bile_mchn: nothing's happening. :s | 01:55 |
| edbian | thornhill, ah, sorry didn't paste the link. Here it is: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275 | 01:55 |
| edbian | thornhill, read number 7 there on how to remove something from the boot menu | 01:55 |
| bile_mchn | :/ | 01:55 |
| Billit | I have a strange process eating my memory | 01:56 |
| bile_mchn | Nach0z: spam it? | 01:56 |
| DrPenguin | K1rk: your gonna have to rely on either your xorg.0.log or your nvidia-settings manager | 01:56 |
| Billit | .ruby.bin | 01:56 |
| Billit | How do I find out what it is? | 01:56 |
| Nach0z | bile_mchn: killing my keyboard. nothing. | 01:56 |
| edbian | Billit, that's the ruby programming language. It's some program that is written in ruby that is running right now | 01:56 |
| bile_mchn | :/ | 01:56 |
| DrPenguin | Billit: google? | 01:56 |
| Billit | Ya did it | 01:56 |
| Billit | I uninstall ruby | 01:56 |
| Billit | Still it runs | 01:56 |
| K1rk | DrPenguin: I can't trust my Nvidia Settings manager... it's the one making up lies about my monitors. | 01:56 |
| Nach0z | Billit: kill -9 $(pidof .ruby.bin) ? | 01:57 |
| Billit | At least I think I did (apt-get remove ruby) | 01:57 |
| Nach0z | :s | 01:57 |
| K1rk | DrPenguin: I will take a look at the xorg logs, that may actually be useful. | 01:57 |
| Billit | It starts every boot | 01:57 |
| DrPenguin | K1rk: its not making up lies, its just looking at how X is currently configured | 01:57 |
| Billit | kill -9 is temporary | 01:57 |
| bile_mchn | Nach0z: your ubuntu is on that partition then? | 01:57 |
| Nach0z | bile_mchn: nope. it's on a usb. | 01:57 |
| Billit | its a daemon of somekind | 01:57 |
| bile_mchn | k | 01:57 |
| K1rk | DrPenguin: As far as I know, X can't make 2 monitors turn into 1. I have a feeling that's something my chipset manufacturer is doing... | 01:57 |
| DrPenguin | K1rk: X can do that if its using Xrandr | 01:58 |
| K1rk | I'm tempted to put my Windows 7 drive in this machine and see what it has to say about this card. | 01:58 |
| K1rk | This is a brand new card, just got it today. | 01:58 |
| Billit | Is there a way I can find more about a process in Ubuntu | 01:58 |
| Billit | given the pid/name | 01:58 |
| DrPenguin | Billit: pid doesnt tell you anything. The only pid your guaraanteed on is init being 1 | 01:58 |
| Billit | its running as root and as a daemon | 01:58 |
| edbian | Billit, PID is meaning less . I'm googling the name | 01:58 |
| bile_mchn | Nach0z: reinstall. | 01:59 |
| edbian | Billit, the name ruby.bin is not bringing up anything on google | 02:00 |
| DrPenguin | K1rk: you need to understand here, its not the "monitors" so much being combined, but its the Screens, as in X Screens | 02:00 |
| pksadiq | !find ruby.bin | Billit | 02:00 |
| ubottu | Billit: Package/file ruby.bin does not exist in oneiric | 02:00 |
| Nach0z | bile_mchn: just tried with my harddrive unplugged and the issue doesn't happen... but now when I plug the hard drive back in, the USB-installd Ubuntu doesn't see the hard drive. ideas? | 02:00 |
| K1rk | DrPenguin: Just for kicks I'm gonna try this with an older Live CD I had laying around. | 02:00 |
| intok | DrPenguin it has an IGP, an i810 based GPU that has no working driver aside from Vesa, I added an old PCI Geforce 6200 I had collecting dust, as before the BIOS doesn't have an option to disable the IGP, is there a way to make it be completely ignored in linux? | 02:01 |
| Billit | f*ck it, I'm gonna do a grep "/usr/bin/ruby" and find every damn script that uses ruby | 02:01 |
| K1rk | DrPenguin: I'm wondering if the nouveau driver might be better suited but I don't want to uninstall my nvidia to find out. lol | 02:01 |
| Billit | thanks anyways | 02:01 |
| edbian | Billit, haha :) | 02:01 |
| bile_mchn | Nach0z: is it listed in /dev? | 02:01 |
| DrPenguin | intok: Ah got it,, you cant disable the interrupts | 02:01 |
| Nach0z | bile_mchn: only thing in /dev is sda and sda1 | 02:01 |
| DrPenguin | intok: what you might be able to do is, you will still need to rely on the internal when your booting, but if you configure X to use your other video card (by configuring the device section), you should be able to use the other gfx card once your booted into the OS | 02:02 |
| bile_mchn | Nach0z: then kernel can't detect your drive. Swithc your machine off and check all the HW is connected. | 02:02 |
| Nach0z | dadgummit. that's not good then. 'cuz the hardware being unplugged is the only thing that lets the usb-ubuntu boot past the mounting thing. | 02:02 |
| intok | DrPenguin ok, so how do I do that? | 02:04 |
| thornhill | edbian: my motivation is to simply remove it as an option for the staff at this nonprofit, while leaving the Windows partition intact, since they don't have Windows recovery CDs. Any suggestions to make booting Windows impossible? | 02:04 |
| DrPenguin | intok: you need to reconfigure the device section. basically its a matter of putting the PCI id of the better video card in the Device section and specifying the driver module to load | 02:05 |
| Nach0z | running a diskcheck. this is ridiculous. | 02:06 |
| edbian | thornhill, what you're talking about is possible. I suggesting installing the gui tool that number 7 suggests | 02:06 |
| Jordan_U | edbian: thornhill: You should try to avoid editing anything in /etc/grub.d/ if at all possible. And it's not needed here. | 02:06 |
| vouth | DrPenguin: I tried adding the path to the folder containing one of those libc.a files to libc.conf and then running sudo ldconfig, but it still didn't work. Here's my complete config.log: http://wklej.se/af18 | 02:06 |
| bile_mchn | Nach0z: you could try investing in a hotswappable sata hub or USB caddy and try mounting your hdd that way. | 02:07 |
| edbian | Jordan_U, what do you suggest doing? Did you see the link I posted? It does not recommend editing /etc/grub.d/ files directly | 02:07 |
| Nach0z | bile_mchn: that's a long-term fix but I need to get this system back online today. like in the next two hours kinda today. | 02:07 |
| DrPenguin | vouth: hmm.. can you check gcc's search path? maybe thats the issue | 02:08 |
| Jordan_U | thornhill: Add GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true to /etc/default/grub then run "sudo update-grub". | 02:08 |
| bile_mchn | Nach0z: if kernel can't add your device in /dev, you may be in big trouble. | 02:08 |
| Nach0z | I'm trying to get an alternate ubuntu install running so I can just copy over the sudoers file | 02:09 |
| bile_mchn | Nach0z: have you checked the jumper is correctly set on the back of the drive and that it spins up? | 02:09 |
| Nach0z | yes, it does. the hard drive boots fine on its own | 02:09 |
| Nach0z | it's just that nobody's in the sudoers file because I made a rookie mistake | 02:09 |
| DrPenguin | Nach0z: why dont you jsut manually rebuild your sudoers file? | 02:09 |
| Nach0z | got no idea how to do that. there's NOTHING in that file right now | 02:10 |
| DrPenguin | Nach0z: google? | 02:10 |
| Nach0z | I can't even boot into safemode and drop into netroot because it asks for a password | 02:10 |
| DrPenguin | theres definitely information out there on sudoers.. | 02:10 |
| edbian | thornhill, Jordan_U :P | 02:10 |
| DrPenguin | I can probably get you a copy of the sudoers from my schools ubuntu server.. | 02:10 |
| Nach0z | DrPenguin: Gettin the new sudoers file isn't an issue, it's getting the new file onto the dang filesystem. | 02:11 |
| Nach0z | I don't know how to overwrite it booting from the hard drive since nothing is in the sudoers file, that's why I've been working on getting the USB Ubuntu working so I can do it that way. | 02:11 |
| DrPenguin | Well, first off, why are you not just using a straight up supported ubuntu release? | 02:11 |
| DrPenguin | supported by the pendrive | 02:12 |
| troll_ | . | 02:12 |
| Nach0z | .... I'm using 10.04 right now | 02:12 |
| Nach0z | not the mini.iso | 02:12 |
| DrPenguin | you dont have a cd? | 02:12 |
| Nach0z | nope :/ | 02:12 |
| Nach0z | none that I can find. that was my first thought. | 02:12 |
| DrPenguin | wait | 02:12 |
| DrPenguin | what does sudoers have to do with determining what you boot from | 02:12 |
| DrPenguin | thats a firmware level thing | 02:12 |
| Nach0z | DrPenguin: well, how am I supposed to put myself back in the sudoers file if I can't sudo nano /etc/sudoers ? | 02:13 |
| Nach0z | or if I can't sudo mv newsudofile /etc/sudoers ? | 02:13 |
| === d353163 is now known as morphkurt | ||
| DrPenguin | Nach0z: you cant boot 10.04 from the flash key, mount your ubu drive, and copy it over? | 02:13 |
| johnny_ | hi, trying to figure out why the unlock button is greyed out when adding a new user | 02:14 |
| johnny_ | or trying to add a new user* | 02:14 |
| DrPenguin | johnny_: are you doing it from the current user? you probably dont have privilages | 02:14 |
| Nach0z | that's the issue, DrPenguin. lol. the USB key wont' boot with the hard drive plugged in, and if I boot without it plugged in and plug it in post-boot, it don't show. | 02:14 |
| Nach0z | So I ran a file system check to make sure that wasn't the reason it wasn't booting | 02:14 |
| DrPenguin | Nach0z: that doesnt make any sense | 02:14 |
| johnny_ | it says "administrator" under the account i'm loggedi n as | 02:14 |
| Nach0z | DrPenguin: there was a file system error that was making the USB ubuntu hang when it tried to mount the hard drive. | 02:15 |
| DrPenguin | johnny_: have you tried doing it from root or from terminal? | 02:15 |
| johnny_ | i do'nt know the command | 02:15 |
| Nach0z | this is a seven-year-old desktop computer that's never had maintenance. it does all sorts of weird crap. lol. | 02:15 |
| DrPenguin | johnny_: google? | 02:15 |
| johnny_ | but i also assume it's related to why i can't toggle "enable wireless" | 02:15 |
| DrPenguin | Seriously, have people here NEVER heard of google? for real | 02:15 |
| johnny_ | google for which ? i know about useradd.. but i want to bring up the google | 02:15 |
| johnny_ | err up the gui | 02:15 |
| DrPenguin | Nach0z: the usb key shouldnt be tyring to mount it until you tell it to | 02:15 |
| bile_mchn | DrPenguin: some people do not like google. | 02:16 |
| johnny_ | all i can see is about user-admin and i don't have that comand | 02:17 |
| DrPenguin | bile_mchn: then they can use bing or yahoo.. no excuse for being lazy | 02:17 |
| Nach0z | DrPenguin: dunno why it is then. but yeah, I just got it to boot successfully after doing the file system check, edited my sudoers file, gonna get myself back online now. | 02:17 |
| Nach0z | woot. | 02:17 |
| pksadiq | !google | DrPenguin | 02:17 |
| ubottu | DrPenguin: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. | 02:17 |
| thornhill | Jordan_U: thanks | 02:17 |
| johnny_ | i've already looked.. that's why i'm here | 02:17 |
| vouth | DrPenguin: How can I check that search path? | 02:17 |
| DrPenguin | pksadiq: oh dont give me that, theres no such thing as "google-fu" you have an issue, you google it. plain and simple | 02:17 |
| johnny_ | DrPenguin: i already did | 02:17 |
| johnny_ | and i only see crap about users-admin and i don't have such a commaind in 11.10 | 02:18 |
| DrPenguin | vouth: theres some command in gcc.. I think its.. —print-search-directories? it should be in the -h output or in the man page | 02:18 |
| rypervenche | johnny_: Did you try "sudo user-admin" ? | 02:18 |
| pksadiq | DrPenguin: of course there are, like quoting, "[", etc :) | 02:18 |
| e2b04836 | johnny_: do you have sudo access on the account? | 02:18 |
| intok | DrPenguin you mean my xorg.conf? Cause all I see is the 6200 http://pastebin.com/MW7EhuzL But in LSHW it's still listed as 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE http://pastebin.com/tyrx2N1T | 02:18 |
| johnny_ | rypervenche: why should i? it has an unlock dialog | 02:18 |
| johnny_ | that's the whole point of policykit | 02:18 |
| Nach0z | now I just gotta figure out why it's not booting headless >:F | 02:18 |
| rypervenche | johnny_: Maybe it's not in your PATH. | 02:19 |
| DrPenguin | intok: thats your intel card, not your nvidia card.. does the system not see it? try lspci | grep VGA, you should get 2 entries | 02:19 |
| johnny_ | it should be if i am supposed to be able to unlock it once the dialog is open | 02:19 |
| johnny_ | also.. it opens as me just fine.. i just can't change it | 02:19 |
| e2b04836 | johnny_: because you need to be root to make changes thus you need sudo access | 02:19 |
| johnny_ | no you don't | 02:20 |
| johnny_ | that's the point of policytkit | 02:20 |
| rypervenche | johnny_: Have you tried doing it? | 02:20 |
| johnny_ | if i wanted to run useradd then yes i'd have to use sudo | 02:20 |
| johnny_ | i think policykit is busted | 02:20 |
| intok | DrPenguin all I got was: 01:06.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV44A [GeForce 6200] (rev a1) | 02:20 |
| johnny_ | i want it to work the way it should.. even if the sudo thing did work.. that's now it its supposed to | 02:21 |
| johnny_ | not* | 02:21 |
| DrPenguin | intok: .. It doesnt even see your other car | 02:21 |
| DrPenguin | d | 02:21 |
| rypervenche | johnny_: I would try our suggestions instead of arguing, lest you wish people to stop helping you. | 02:21 |
| johnny_ | rypervenche: i want to fix policykit | 02:21 |
| johnny_ | i don't care about that particular dialog | 02:21 |
| DrPenguin | intok: some BIOS automatically redirect interrupts | 02:21 |
| johnny_ | i just figured that'd be a good place to start, but let's just focus on policykit | 02:21 |
| johnny_ | so.. the nm applet doesn't let me toggle "enable networking" | 02:22 |
| johnny_ | and i know it used to work in previous versions of ubuntu | 02:22 |
| K1rk | johnny_: We have that issue at my work sometimes with student netbooks... | 02:22 |
| K1rk | johnny_: The solution is to rm -R /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state and then restart network-manager | 02:23 |
| johnny_ | did that already | 02:23 |
| johnny_ | i'll try again though | 02:23 |
| intok | DrPenguin yet if I hit ctrl+alt+f1 or run a game like Braid I get a black screen, at startup the bios posts to the 6200, but once Linux starts booting it goes blank till I hit the Nvidia driver splash pre login prompt | 02:23 |
| vouth | DrPenguin: It's --print-search-dirs. :-) No idea what to make of the output though!! http://wklej.se/ef63 | 02:23 |
| Jon--_ | synclient reports only one finger on my touchpad, even when I use two. Am I out of luck getting multi-touch scrolling to work? Ubuntu 11.04 | 02:23 |
| Jon--_ | I disconnected if anyone replied earlier ^ | 02:23 |
| johnny_ | same diff .. still greyed out | 02:23 |
| DrPenguin | intok: its only using the one nvidia card | 02:23 |
| johnny_ | that's why i think that policykit is screwed up | 02:23 |
| intok | DrPenguin other full screen games like Osmos, NAEV or Aquaria all display on the 6200 though | 02:24 |
| DrPenguin | vouth: thats basically where all the components of the build process looks for things like libraries and stuff | 02:24 |
| Canadian1296 | johnny_: there is a reason no one is replying to you... | 02:24 |
| johnny_ | you guys obviously don't understand policykit | 02:24 |
| DrPenguin | intok: dude, ONLY your 6200 is working | 02:24 |
| DrPenguin | intok: your other card isnt getting an IRQ, it CANT run | 02:24 |

| intok | DrPenguin so any ideas on why I can't drop to the shell when crap hits the fan? | 02:26 |
| Nach0z | Alright. I got one last question for yall before I hit the road. I want my ubuntu 11.04 to boot headlessly, like terminal-only. I thought I had it configured to do that already but it's apparently not working because when I reboot, I get the graphic login screen | 02:26 |
| johnny_ | one for every process that you see | 02:26 |
| Amd | Hi....What is Network Proxy ? | 02:26 |
| DrPenguin | intok: probably because something isnt configured right.. | 02:26 |
| bile_mchn | Nach0z: use the server variant | 02:26 |
| johnny_ | blackshirt: pgrep console-kit | 02:26 |
| Nach0z | bile_mchn: already got it installed and configured, it just started acting up today. | 02:26 |

| ubottu | Nach0z: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 02:27 |
| vouth | DrPenguin: Yup there's one in /usr/lib/i686-linux-gnu/ | 02:27 |

| Billit | I'm back | 02:27 |

| Billit | with another question | 02:27 |
| justdave | ok, for anyone who saw my question earlier about getting users to not show up on the login screen (postfix in my case) I found it eventally via Google. Answer is to list the user in the Exclude= line in the [greeter] section in /etc/gdm/custom.conf (which you may have to create) | 02:27 |
| Canadian1296 | Nach0z: if you use the alternate install cd, you can press f4 and choose to install a command line system only | 02:27 |
| johnny_ | ? | 02:27 |
| Nach0z | thanks xangua, lemme see if it works. | 02:27 |

| Billit | How do I disable oneconf-service | 02:27 |
| johnny_ | yes.. but pgrep should only show one | 02:27 |
| Nach0z | Canadian1296: it's been installed for more than a year. bit late for that part .lol. | 02:27 |
| blackshirt | johnny_: look with pstree | 02:27 |
| johnny_ | and that's what matters | 02:27 |

| Canadian1296 | Nach0z: lol i didnt realize :P | 02:27 |
| xangua | Billit: uninstall it¿ | 02:27 |
| intok | DrPenguin well I've set nothing out of the ordinary, and let the Nvidia driver GUI set the xorg.conf | 02:27 |
| johnny_ | blackshirt: it should grow as you open things | 02:28 |
| Jordan_U | thornhill: You're welcome. | 02:28 |
| johnny_ | but the important thing is that pgrep or ps ax | grep console-kit show one | 02:28 |
| === novien is now known as nthree | ||
| Billit | If i try to uninstall it, it automatically tries to uninstall Ubuntu Desktop and Software Center too! | 02:28 |
| blackshirt | johnny_: it was default, can we change this ? | 02:28 |
| DrPenguin | vouth: ok, I forget, is that 686 directory in gcc's search path? | 02:28 |
| johnny_ | blackshirt: no | 02:28 |
| johnny_ | ignore it it's working as expected | 02:29 |
| DrPenguin | intok: thats not enough.. you usally have to edit things both inside and outside the xorg.conf | 02:29 |
| Nach0z | this is even more unusual. I have ubuntu 11.04 but I'm booting from grub 1.99 rc1 o_0 | 02:29 |

| szal | iToast: sounds like a case for JDownloader; iirc you can configure it to auto-download everything you throw at it (reads the clipboard, so copying the address would do) | 03:42 |
| szal | optimusM: ideally you don't & use a Linux-native torrent app | 03:42 |
| iToast | szal: it all hapens on a remote machine. | 03:43 |
| pksadiq | mhiku: you may use pxeboot to load some bootloader like plpbt and from that you may boot usb, cd or what ever | 03:43 |

| DrPenguin | optimusM: deluge or transmission would work | 03:43 |

| geoffmcc | gigi87: if you mean to delete package and all dependancies, it would be sudo dpkg --purge --force-remove-reinstreq packagename | 04:45 |
| gigi87 | geoffmcc, thx, will this remove getbed2 as well? | 04:45 |
| gigi87 | geoffmcc, getdeb2 | 04:46 |
| gigi87 | "i should go to bed" | 04:46 |
| geoffmcc | gigi87: if you do it with whatever the original package was, if you mean to delete that as well, then yes it will get everything | 04:46 |
| gigi87 | cause the entry show avidemux, which i already removes in software manager, upgraded to getdeb2, does this make sence? | 04:47 |
| gigi87 | not for me.. | 04:47 |
| gigi87 | but i think getdeb was the ppa that i had added, geoffmcc | 04:48 |
| almoxarife | gigi87: you added a ppa called something like 'getdeb.....' | 04:48 |
| geoffmcc | gigi87: well if you just uninstalled that program, then yes, it would normally leave dependancies behind i think | 04:48 |
| gigi87 | yepp almoxarife, i guess thats what messed up my graphics | 04:49 |
| gigi87 | after the update | 04:49 |
| gigi87 | synaptic log says: "Upgraded the following packages: avidemux (1:2.5.2-0ubuntu3) to 1:2.5.4-1~getdeb2", geoffmcc | 04:50 |
| almoxarife | gigi87: every script-kiddie in the world can submit to 'getdeb' , what you have sounds like a broke dependencies due to ppa addons | 04:50 |
| gigi87 | geoffmcc, dies this make sence to you? | 04:50 |
| h4xww | hi people | 04:50 |
| h4xww | does anyone knows a good site to understand Linux from the very deep abstraction layer? | 04:51 |
| gigi87 | almoxarife, yes i remeber i installed like 6 packages from that ppa, and i think it crooked my graphics alittle | 04:51 |
| geoffmcc | gigi87: its just saying it replaced the offical package from ubuntu to the getdeb version | 04:52 |
| almoxarife | gigi87: I wouldn't use getdeb ppa for anything, and if you have you want to purge the ppa | 04:52 |
| gigi87 | hmm yepp, and ptobably six packages as well | 04:52 |
| h4xww | :-O | 04:52 |

| gigi87 | almoxarife, then sudo dpkg --purge --force-remove-reinstreq getdeb2 avidemux libvpx0 ??? , synptic saying "Upgraded the following packages: avidemux (1:2.5.2-0ubuntu3) to 1:2.5.4-1~getdeb2 Installed the following packages: libvpx0 (0.9.5-2~build0.10.04.1)" | 04:54 |
| geoffmcc | gigi87: when i said that i didnt realise you added a ppa | 04:54 |
| almoxarife | teste: you can install from usb, but you will need to create a 'start up disk/usb' | 04:55 |
| geoffmcc | gigi87: your gonna want to use something like ppa-purge | 04:55 |
| gigi87 | geoffmcc, i relaised it, iwanted to upgrade transmission, but thats an old ppa | 04:55 |
| almoxarife | gigi87: no idea how to do it in terminal, I use synaptic, not ashamed here | 04:55 |

| gigi87 | <geoffmcc> gigi87: your gonna want to use something like ppa-purge, dont understand this | 04:57 |
| geoffmcc | gigi87: if you sudo apt-get install ppa-purge and then do ppa-purge -p ppaname it will delete the ppa and revert all packages back to offical state | 04:57 |
| Anthony_Raelo | i was watching a vid on the internet and all of a sudden 2 girls 1 cup popped up, any way to prevent this? | 04:57 |
| geoffmcc | gigi87: once installed see also man ppa-purge | 04:57 |
| almoxarife | geoffmcc: it will and it may further trash his system, then he remembers you caused it :) | 04:58 |
| gigi87 | geoffmcc, ppa is already removed from config, trying to get rid of these packages and its dependecies now. | 04:58 |
| gigi87 | geoffmcc, packages seem to be Upgraded the following packages: avidemux (1:2.5.2-0ubuntu3) to 1:2.5.4-1~getdeb2 Installed the following packages: libvpx0 (0.9.5-2~build0.10.04.1) | 04:58 |
| almoxarife | Anthony_Raelo: turn off the internet | 04:58 |
| Anthony_Raelo | almoxarife: how do i turn it off? | 04:59 |
| almoxarife | gigi87: removing the ppa does not purge it! | 04:59 |
| gigi87 | geoffmcc, and afterward i hope an apt-get update will redo the old satuts | 04:59 |

| nem1981 | Need IRC room for google API queries.. anyone knows | 05:01 |
| geoffmcc | gigi87: im not understanding, where are you seeing that? | 05:01 |
| almoxarife | gigi87: purging the ppa will strip your system of all the crap it installed, but then you get to hope that the purge does not further cripple your system, it can, it might, it's a crap shoot | 05:01 |
| robmillernow | ?? | 05:02 |

| robmillernow | i'm trying to revive my father's Dell Inspiron. It's been running Ubuntu for over a year, and since I was here last holiday, it's gone tits up. | 05:05 |
| gigi87 | geoffmcc almoxarife which command am i supposed to used here? removing avidemux , getdeb2, libvpx0 and reuse the former status? | 05:06 |
| almoxarife | gigi87: in synaptic? | 05:06 |
| robmillernow | I WANT to be able to recommend this operating system, but advice like "trash the pc" doesn't jam me full of confidence. | 05:06 |
| gigi87 | almoxarife, in synaptic, just searching thes packages and unmark? | 05:06 |
| almoxarife | gigi87: yeap | 05:06 |
| Jeaton | what is a good dvd authoring app for ubuntu besides tovid? | 05:07 |
| geoffmcc | robmillernow: since its a community enviroment, unfortunatly you get responses like that at times, sorry | 05:07 |
| powertool08 | robmillernow: Why can't you boot from cd? Is it enabled as the 1st boot option in bios? | 05:07 |
| gigi87 | almoxarife, will this reproduce the former status as well, and properly remove denpendencies, do u know? | 05:07 |
| reokie | Jeaton: Brasero? | 05:07 |
| robmillernow | when i hit F2 to go to setup, it gives me the option of several versions of Linux, but not to reboot from CD | 05:07 |
| almoxarife | robmillernow: if you want to install from scratch I recommend doing it with the 'alternate' iso/disk for your machine type | 05:07 |
| robmillernow | it's not really a "boot" menu since Ubuntu came along... | 05:07 |
| robmillernow | so Ubuntu specifically FOR this Dell Inspiron 1520 ? | 05:08 |
| robmillernow | that exists? | 05:08 |
| powertool08 | robmillernow: Try f9 or f12, sometimes those give you the option to boot from cd. | 05:08 |
| robmillernow | k thanks powertool08 trying that | 05:08 |
| almoxarife | gigi87: no, can't say, this is ppa's are frowned on | 05:08 |
| Chotaz | Hey guys | 05:09 |
| Chotaz | i just finished fresh installing my machine, but after restarting after the instalation, im not able to boot into the system anymore, im currently on liveCD | 05:10 |
| gigi87 | thx, almoxarife, i wont touch them anymore, ^^ learned sth today | 05:10 |
| urlin2u | Chotaz, do you get the grub menu? | 05:10 |
| gigi87 | geoffmcc, you still there? | 05:10 |
| Chotaz | urlin2u: no, the monitor goes to sleep after some random colored squares appear | 05:10 |
| robmillernow | nope -- those two keys just make it beep. Yeah, the boot menu is now the GRUB menu ... | 05:10 |
| robmillernow | doesn't really get me to the drives anymore like it used to before installing Ubuntu | 05:11 |
| urlin2u | Chotaz, is ubuntu the only OS? | 05:11 |
| Chotaz | urlin2u: currently yes | 05:11 |
| urlin2u | Chotaz, you familiar with nomodeset? | 05:11 |
| powertool08 | robmillernow: Is this a laptop or a desktop? What is your motherboard manufacturer and model? | 05:11 |
| Chotaz | urlin2u: never heard of | 05:11 |
| robmillernow | laptop ... not sure where to find the motherboard manu and model without getting to menus that don't appear anymore, right? | 05:12 |
| geoffmcc | gigi87: yes | 05:12 |
| powertool08 | robmillernow: Ok, laptop brand and model? | 05:12 |
| Jeaton | reokie: Brasero does dvd authoring? | 05:12 |
| robmillernow | Dell Inspiron 1520 laptop | 05:13 |
| urlin2u | Chotaz, so power opn and tap the shift key this should give you the grub menu, hit e for edit and using the cursor keys navigate to the end of the kernel where it says no splash or splash and type in nomodeset, then boot if you get e terminal type stsrtx. | 05:13 |
| gigi87 | now, do you still remember my problem, geoffmcc? | 05:13 |
| powertool08 | Jeaton: I don't think it does. Just cd burning. | 05:13 |
| powertool08 | !brasero > Jeaton | 05:13 |
| gigi87 | i m trying one of these commands here geoffmcc | 05:13 |
| urlin2u | !nomodeset | Chotaz | 05:13 |
| ubottu | Chotaz: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 05:13 |
| Jeaton | powertool08: I didnt think it did, reokie suggested that when I asked about a decent app that does authoring besides tovid | 05:14 |
| shaneo | hey guys any reason why a notification wouldnt appear in unity taskbar even when setby the program | 05:14 |
| geoffmcc | gigi87: yes | 05:14 |
| Chotaz | urlin2u: im not sure if ill be able to get to the grub menu, after the bios screen, i see some randomly colored squared on my screen and then it goes to sleep | 05:14 |
| powertool08 | Jeaton: I don't know of any as I haven't used them, I'm assuming reokie did not realize you were asking for authoring versus writing. | 05:14 |
| urlin2u | Chotaz, the link might give a better description, you may need a graphics driver. Since you have only one OS the grub menu is not shown the colored squares are after this menu most likely. | 05:15 |
| Chotaz | also, I always used ubuntu and never had this problem | 05:15 |
| iToast | Im just a little curios. | 05:15 |
| Jeaton | i'm trying out bombono now, hopefully its decent | 05:15 |
| iToast | Im using ubuntu server 10.4 | 05:15 |
| iToast | Could i get linux kernel 3.x? | 05:15 |
| Chotaz | so starting x like that and then installing the drivers should solve it_ | 05:15 |
| gigi87 | , geoffmcc, either sudo dpkg --purge --force-remove-reinstreq avidemux getdeb2 libvpx0 ----OR---------- sudo apt-get install ppa-purge and then do ppa-purge -p ppaname, but i dont remember the ppas name... | 05:16 |
| powertool08 | robmillernow: It should be the f2 key, I'd suggest turning the laptop off, then turn it on and as soon as you hit the power button, hit f2 as fast as you can but be sure to release in between taps. | 05:16 |
| Chotaz | ill try it, brb | 05:16 |
| urlin2u | Chotaz, hopefully if you get in do a update and upgrade then look in additional drivers from the menu. | 05:16 |
| robmillernow | yep, did that... it takes me to the GRUB menu | 05:16 |
| powertool08 | robmillernow: fast and repeatedly of course. | 05:16 |
| szal | iToast: in 10.04, no | 05:17 |

| urlin2u | gigi87, look in sourceslist.d in /etc/apt you can gksudo there and remove it. | 05:20 |
| robmillernow | aaaand changing the boot sequence takes me to the GRUB MENU. square one | 05:20 |
| gigi87 | hmm geoffmcc, ill give it a shot, i guess is it "sudo apt-get install ppa-purge" and then " ppa-purge -p getdeb "2, not an url or sth? | 05:20 |
| iToast | szal No direct upgrade from 10.4 to 11.04? | 05:20 |

| pitlimit | I'm upgrading to 11.10 from 11.04, but the upgrade has been stuck on "Installing the upgrades" with the Terminal message Preconfiguring packages.... can anyone tell me how I should proceed to make sure the upgrade finishes? It's been stuck here for about 12 hours | 05:37 |
| robmillernow | i'm using my MacBook Pro (only other computer in the house because I brought it with me here to my Dad's house) to download Ubuntu and used the Macbook to burn the .iso | 05:37 |
| powertool08 | Ah | 05:37 |
| robmillernow | I can't USE the Dell because it's crapped out. The Dell is the computer I'm trying to fix. | 05:38 |
| robmillernow | it's the one that won't boot from CD | 05:38 |
| pitlimit | what are you trying to do robmillernow | 05:38 |
| pitlimit | you're trying to install ubuntu from disk? | 05:38 |
| urlin2u | robmillernow, are you sure that dell will boot from a usb? | 05:39 |
| robmillernow | urlin2u it's one of the boot options, yeah | 05:39 |
| urlin2u | robmillernow, cool | 05:39 |
| robmillernow | pitlimit: I installed Ubuntu on my Dad's old laptop last Christmas ... it worked fine for a while, but somewhere since then it's only started showing a black desktop background | 05:40 |
| robmillernow | pitlimit: If I can't get his Ubuntu to come back to life showing menus and bars and crap, then I figure I'll just reinstall from DVD ... it won't reboot from DVD | 05:40 |
| robmillernow | I get "PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable" | 05:41 |
| robmillernow | BUT i ran diagnostics, and the "media drive" is fine | 05:41 |
| urlin2u | robmillernow, you get the grub menu try nomodeset at the end of the kernel inplace of splash use e to edit. | 05:41 |

| Blue1 | fishcooker: it is better NOT to upgrade, but to backup /home/ and /etc/ and do a fresh install | 06:45 |
| fishcooker | why | 06:45 |
| fishcooker | blue1 | 06:45 |
| fishcooker | is there any problem with grub | 06:46 |
| dannel | doing a fresh install every 6 months seems impractical | 06:46 |
| Blue1 | fishcooker: because upgrades are problematic - things get broken -- like grub, or video | 06:46 |
| Blue1 | dannel: yes, but less problems in the long run. | 06:46 |
| szal | hullo: the kernel install should do that automagically.. where did you get that kernel from? | 06:46 |

| szal | hullo: you might first want to answer my question | 06:48 |
| dannel | Blue1, I prefer to break things and then fix them :D although recently I upgraded from 10.10>11.04>11.10 and was surprised how perfect it was after upgrade.. even graphics still worked | 06:49 |

| Blue1 | old grub and new ubuntu = problems -- well problems any way you go, less problems with newer grub | 06:51 |

| OvermindDL1 | szal: Except I have also tried unity2d and xfce too | 07:04 |
| vouth | DeltaEpsilon: it worked for me | 07:04 |
| Blue1 | for some reason kde won't run on this system | 07:04 |
| Blue1 | nor xfce | 07:04 |
| OvermindDL1 | szal: 4.7, but as stated... | 07:04 |
| bodoh | guys .. what's the best app for Nikon RAW photo? | 07:04 |
| szal | OvermindDL1: 4.7.what? | 07:05 |
| OvermindDL1 | szal: I was running unity2d last time it locked up | 07:05 |
| OvermindDL1 | szal: kde | 07:05 |
| bodoh | photoshop of course | 07:05 |
| szal | OvermindDL1: I'm asking for the 3rd digit | 07:05 |
| pAt__ | bodoh it is Bibble5 | 07:05 |
| OvermindDL1 | szal: no clue what patch version, not running it up right now, can check apt if you want | 07:05 |
| OvermindDL1 | szal: sec... | 07:05 |
| bodoh | is that an app pAt__ ? | 07:06 |
| bodoh | let me google it | 07:06 |
| OvermindDL1 | szal: 4.7.3, but this locking up has been happening since I ran 4.4.x | 07:06 |
| pAt__ | Nah. A real.program for real computers :) | 07:06 |
| bodoh | looks good pAt__ | 07:07 |
| OvermindDL1 | szal: and I have ran various other window managers too, X locks up in all cases, leaving no log either | 07:07 |
| bodoh | do you use it too? | 07:07 |
| pAt__ | Yes | 07:07 |
| szal | OvermindDL1: but if it's also w/ other GUIs, then it's probably not KDE-related.. I only had it occasionally w/ Oneiric (and I use exclusively KDE); if it has a history of freezing, it's probably hardware-related | 07:07 |
| OvermindDL1 | szal: Been happening to me since I installed 9.10 on this system | 07:07 |
| OvermindDL1 | szal: Er, 9.04 I think I started with... | 07:07 |
| szal | OvermindDL1: but nonetheless you might want to update to KDE 4.7.4, it fixes a lot of Plasma crashing woes | 07:07 |
| OvermindDL1 | szal: KDE has been quite solid for me, only seen the KDE Plasma Crash Dump window about twice the whole time I have ran it | 07:08 |
| bodoh | you pay or just download it pAt__ ? | 07:08 |
| OvermindDL1 | szal: That is over a multi-year period obviously | 07:08 |
| OvermindDL1 | szal: unity on the other hand, sorely broken | 07:08 |
| szal | OvermindDL1: 4.7.3 is crash-happy, hence the hint | 07:08 |
| OvermindDL1 | szal: I have even ripped out ubuntu-desktop and all parts and reinstalled to no avail | 07:08 |
| OvermindDL1 | szal: unity never seems to load, never get anything but a blank desktop | 07:09 |
| === shrek is now known as Guest45972 | ||
| szal | OvermindDL1: Oneiric's original 4.7.2 isn't, and 4.7.4 isn't either, so you definitely don't want to stick w/ 4.7.3 | 07:09 |
| OvermindDL1 | szal: unit2d works though | 07:09 |
| pAt__ | You have to pay for it bodoh. It is a professional raw converter | 07:09 |
| bodoh | ok | 07:09 |
| OvermindDL1 | szal: is 4.7.4 not in the repositories yet? Not even a full-upgrade wants to pull it | 07:10 |
| szal | OvermindDL1: it's been out for a week and a half or so | 07:10 |
| OvermindDL1 | szal: Do you have a ppa for it? Since it is apparently not in official channels yet? | 07:10 |
| bodoh | I'm downloading it pAt__ ... let me see it now | 07:10 |
| szal | OvermindDL1: and be sure to reboot after installing it | 07:10 |
| OvermindDL1 | szal: Oh the lockup will force a reboot soon in any case... | 07:11 |
| szal | OvermindDL1: yes, it's a PPA, 4.7.3 isn't official either | 07:11 |
| bodoh | btw .. how about gimp? .. does it support nikon's raw shots too? | 07:11 |
| OvermindDL1 | szal: No clue how I have 4.7.3 then, I *just* upgraded to 11.10 a few days ago | 07:11 |
| OvermindDL1 | szal: Regarldess, crashing, been happening for years, just getting worse the past few months... | 07:11 |
| OvermindDL1 | szal: Locking up* | 07:11 |
| szal | OvermindDL1: https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/ppa | 07:12 |
| OvermindDL1 | szal: Any idea why killing gpm or X or anything does not clear my screen of the frozen interface? | 07:12 |
| OvermindDL1 | szal: gdm* | 07:12 |
| robertzaccour | anyone recommend a good parental control software? | 07:12 |
| robertzaccour | for the internet | 07:12 |
| szal | OvermindDL1: no | 07:12 |
| OvermindDL1 | szal: Oh, and for note, the alt+prtscn rseinub never clears the screen when hitting any of the letters, not until I hit b and the system reboots... | 07:14 |
| szal | rseinub? | 07:14 |
| OvermindDL1 | szal: I thought that, being a kernel level kill command, would do it for sure | 07:14 |
| OvermindDL1 | szal: r resets the keyboard into ascii mode, s syncs the disks or something, etc... | 07:15 |
| OvermindDL1 | szal: One of the keys kills *every* process but init, and my screen is *still* frozen though... | 07:15 |
| dr_willis | ati video? | 07:16 |
| OvermindDL1 | Yes, an older 3870 | 07:16 |
| OvermindDL1 | dr_willis: I have tried ubuntu drivers, foss drivers, amd drivers, all make no change in the locking up | 07:16 |
| lahwran | df -h shows my root partition as having 199MB of space free, but gparted shows it as having 2.03GB free. anyone have any thoughts on what might cause such a large discrepancy? | 07:17 |
| dr_willis | the card is showing the memory if its last image buffer. seen ut befor.. ages ago | 07:17 |
| OvermindDL1 | dr_willis: And nothing ever clears it? | 07:17 |
| OvermindDL1 | dr_willis: I have a 5850 laying about, do you think that would make a difference or not? | 07:18 |
| dr_willis | OvermindDL1: nwver really tried. thus was 6+ yrs ago | 07:18 |
| OvermindDL1 | dr_willis: I am quite certain the 3870 is fine as it ran other OS's fine... | 07:18 |
| dr_willis | i dont use ati any mire | 07:18 |
| OvermindDL1 | dr_willis: Not my option unfortunetly... | 07:19 |
| dr_willis | also seen framebyffers mess with ati. perhaps disable the db. | 07:19 |
| dr_willis | fb | 07:19 |
| OvermindDL1 | fb? framebuffer? You can do that? | 07:20 |
| dr_willis | nofb option for grub | 07:20 |
| OvermindDL1 | Hmm, what are the side effects of setting that? | 07:21 |
| szal | other than no shiny splash screen, I can't think of anything | 07:21 |
| szal | perhaps no MPlayer playback on the CLI | 07:21 |
| dr_willis | noquiet nosplash nofb in etc/default/grub | 07:21 |
| dr_willis | may as well set grub to text mode also. :-) | 07:22 |
| dr_willis | old skool | 07:22 |
| OvermindDL1 | Heh | 07:23 |
| OvermindDL1 | I think I might still be using grub1 at that, had it here for a long long while | 07:23 |
| dr_willis | may be time for a clean install | 07:23 |
| OvermindDL1 | Yeah, it has been, but this hard drive is tiny, been needing to replace it at that, and I *really* hate reinstalling everything... | 07:24 |
| dr_willis | reinstalling what wxactly | 07:24 |
| dr_willis | !clone | 07:24 |
| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 07:24 |
| OvermindDL1 | This computer is my 'play' computer, I have a few hundred to a thousand extra packages from apt, to about 100 server programs installed from source, to about 30 sites being hosted on this now to serve various interfaces for said servers... | 07:25 |
| dr_willis | i make a script to reinstall what i need | 07:25 |
| OvermindDL1 | I have a couple of headless server that I run my real things on, but migrating this thing would be such a pain... | 07:26 |
| dr_willis | and how many do you use daily :-) | 07:26 |
| OvermindDL1 | More then you would think... | 07:27 |
| dr_willis | copy hd to a vbox image. set it up in vbox.. | 07:27 |
| dr_willis | then start on it fresh ;) | 07:27 |
| OvermindDL1 | Been thinking of just buying yet another hard drive (already up to 7 in this thing) and install a new OS on it, keep my old one around to copy things and settings off of... | 07:27 |
| dr_willis | vbox nethod you could jyst have it running as normal | 07:28 |
| OvermindDL1 | Heh, true, just have virtualbox use the physical hard drive... | 07:29 |
| dr_willis | no.. clone the hd to a image. safer | 07:29 |
| dr_willis | then move it to a different server | 07:30 |
| OvermindDL1 | dr_willis: Kind of out of hard drives space, hence my really wanting a new hd.... | 07:30 |

| lotuspsychje | dr_willis: maybe xvidcap saves config in another sort of file? | 07:36 |
| dr_willis | lotuspsychje: no idea. never used it. you did look in 'man xvidcap' ? | 07:36 |
| szal | suigeneris: then do NOT mount the HDD on the live CD & run 'fsck -Cf /dev/sdXY' (replace X and Y w/ the correct letter and number) | 07:37 |

| lotuspsychje | robertzaccour: maybe firefox addons exist to parent control? | 07:39 |

| naked89tt | dr_willis, so how can I konw it supports. | 07:44 |
| robertzaccour | dr_willis: its a netbook | 07:44 |

| naked89tt | dr_willis, thanks anyway | 07:45 |
| Your_Dog | Agreed on your adied, lotuspsychje. | 07:45 |
| Your_Dog | idea | 07:45 |
| Blue1 | lotuspsychje: you just need a great password like: MyBolognahasaf1stname,1tsH0mer | 07:45 |
| robertzaccour | lotuspsychje: she already tried that. I don't wanna try to coach her on parenting, I was just wanting to help her set up the security | 07:45 |
| lotuspsychje | Your_Dog: tnx :p | 07:46 |
| OvermindDL1 | robertzaccour: Could set it up to log everything and forward the logs to the parents? People tend to be a *lot* more careful when they know they are being watched... | 07:46 |
| dr_willis | robertzaccour: ff extensions, opendns, perhaps that peerguard blocking proxy | 07:46 |
| OvermindDL1 | Could even screenshot every minute or so | 07:47 |
| lotuspsychje | robertzaccour: i would give a shot with firefox addons or software center | 07:47 |

| OvermindDL1 | While I am here, next question. Unity, why does it not load, I get the background but no bar at top, none at left, nothing anywhere, stays like that until I kill gdm or so. Unity2d works fine, but not Unity | 07:51 |

| Scott_S | Harmandeep: although, I'm unsure if the Ubuntu installer will list USB FDs as installable. | 07:56 |
| harmandeep | Scott_S: Same is going FTW | 07:56 |
| OvermindDL1 | dr_willis: Yeah, leaning ever more that way... | 07:57 |
| dr_willis | becker_11: try lubuntu perhaps | 07:57 |
| becker_11 | Is it possible to hide the grub menu on boot so it just autoboots ubuntu? | 07:57 |
| szal | becker_11: differences to what? | 07:57 |
| becker_11 | szal, windows | 07:57 |
| suigeneris | Comparing bitmaps..vpf-10630: The on-disk and the correct bitmaps differs. Will be fixed later. <--- when is this "later"? | 07:57 |
| dr_willis | becker_11: yes. but it can cause other annoyances | 07:57 |
| Scott_S | Harmandeep: Keep in mind that flash drives are not designed for constant read/write and using it as the main drive will severely decrease its lifespan. | 07:57 |
| becker_11 | dr_willis, no time she's picking it up later today | 07:57 |
| Tanthrix | Anyone know how to permanently rotate xorg screen 180 degrees? "Option" "Rotate" "right" gets me portrait, but I need full 180. Nvidia card if it makes any difference. | 07:58 |
| dr_willis | becker_11: put some unity guide/links on her desktop | 07:58 |
| harmandeep | no worries | 07:58 |
| becker_11 | dr_willis, oh well it's not a major issue I'll just leave it | 07:58 |
| harmandeep | formatted it as / with ext2 | 07:58 |
| dr_willis | becker_11: or install lubuntu-desktop and let her try them both | 07:58 |
| harmandeep | with no swap | 07:58 |
| Scott_S | Tanthrix: I believe when you select the option in the Screen Options, it remains as such until you select otherwise, | 07:58 |
| Tanthrix | Scott_S: Indeed, and it does stick in portrait mode when I have it set to "right". I'm not sure what the option for 180 degrees is. | 07:59 |
| dr_willis | harmandeep: ive had more hds fail then usb flashs ;) | 07:59 |
| suigeneris | Tanthrix: how about "right" twice? | 07:59 |
| harmandeep | thats why hdd mfc.s were flooded , as they now make pathetic shits | 07:59 |
| Tanthrix | suigeneris: One sec, I will try. | 07:59 |
| Tanthrix | suigeneris: No joy, came up garbled with some sort of error I can't quite make out. | 08:00 |
| bodoh | sex and linux are related .. IMHO | 08:00 |
| OvermindDL1 | My hitachi drives have been solid for near a decade now, all western digital drives are long since dead though... | 08:00 |
| harmandeep | bodoh: very much indeed | 08:00 |
| bodoh | I said 'linux' though .. not necessarily 'ubuntu' | 08:00 |
| suigeneris | Tanthrix: hmm | 08:00 |
| bodoh | people who use linux like kinky sex | 08:00 |
| harmandeep | we get deeper and deeper and enjoy | 08:01 |
| suigeneris | bodoh: because they both end in x? | 08:01 |
| harmandeep | :P | 08:01 |

| opticlove | what filetype are theme packages for gnome? | 08:02 |
| bodoh | just like they like kinky OS | 08:02 |
| bodoh | but then .. ubuntu sanitizes it | 08:02 |

| Tanthrix | Man, there is just nothing on google about this. Surely I can't be the only nut job with a monitor mounted upside down with a need to rotate 180 degrees. | 08:03 |
| Scott_S | Tanthrix: Go to "Displays" then choose "Rotation: 180 degrees" | 08:03 |
| becker_11 | whats the recommended way to install googles chrome? via google or the software centre? | 08:04 |
| suigeneris | Tanthrix: out of curiosity. why do you have it upside down? | 08:04 |
| Scott_S | becker_11: sudo apt-get install chromium-browser | 08:04 |
| bodoh | it's Tanthrix fault ;( | 08:04 |
| bodoh | for being so suggestive | 08:04 |
| Tanthrix | Scott_S: Is that a gnome thing? I'm afraid I'm using fluxbox. | 08:04 |
| becker_11 | Scott_S, chromium isn't chrome though | 08:04 |
| Tanthrix | suigeneris: I've got the screen mounted up high on a wall for a mythtv machine. The viewing angle is terrible when you're down below it. (ie, blacks look terrible) | 08:04 |
| bodoh | see .... Tanthrix uses that raw fluxbox ... Sx is related to Lx | 08:04 |
| szal | bodoh: yeah sure, blame your lack of discipline on others.. | 08:04 |
| Scott_S | Tanthrix: It is part of the Ubuntu Settings. I am unsure whether it'll do it automatically for Fluxbox. | 08:05 |
| bodoh | Fx .. should I say ;) | 08:05 |
| Tanthrix | Found it! | 08:05 |
| bodoh | I use Fx too actually ... it's the best in many way | 08:05 |
| Tanthrix | Option Inverted did the trick | 08:05 |
| Scott_S | Tanthrix: Good to hear you got it working. | 08:05 |
| Tanthrix | Now the next step is to see if vdpau, v-sync, and all that good stuff work when the screen is inverted... | 08:05 |

| sandra | Hello my fellow Ubuntu inmates :-) | 08:06 |
| opticlove | ok so if i go to system -> preferences - appearance, what is that? | 08:07 |
| suigeneris | !ot | bodoh (for the second time) | 08:07 |
| ubottu | bodoh (for the second time): #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 08:07 |
| sandra | I trust you all find yourselves well . | 08:07 |
| Tanthrix | .....and the answer is "nope." Shoot, looks like there is no acceleration of any kind in rotated mode. | 08:07 |
| opticlove | gtk 2.x? gnome shell? | 08:07 |
| Tanthrix | MythTV won't even open, since it's GL. | 08:07 |
| EvilResistance | sandra: indeed. do you have a support question? | 08:07 |
| sandra | I do indeed :-) | 08:07 |
| EvilResistance | sandra: feel free to ask the channel then :) | 08:08 |
| sandra | I'd like to know if by some miracle is there a way to bring back the classic desktop to Ubuntu 11.10 ? | 08:08 |
| EvilResistance | sandra: define "classic desktop" | 08:09 |
| qiyong | dns works well though | 08:09 |
| qiyong | w and who displays hostname as IP, how to let it display hostname? | 08:09 |
| sandra | I am currently using Ubuntu 11.04 w/out Unity and well I find the older classic desktop to be more efficient and particle for day to day use. | 08:10 |
| EvilResistance | sandra: the older gnome-without-unity in 11.04 is gnome-shell / "Ubuntu Classic" | 08:10 |
| szal | !notunity | sandra | 08:10 |
| ubottu | sandra: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 08:10 |
| EvilResistance | in 11.10 i dont think they have gnome 2's desktop | 08:10 |
| EvilResistance | but read ubottu there | 08:10 |
| Scott_S | sandra: sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop gnome-tweak-tool | 08:11 |
| Scott_S | ... woops. | 08:11 |
| sandra | I find that I'm hampered by quiet a few glitches on the Unity desktop found on 11.10. | 08:11 |
| EvilResistance | sandra: well 11.10 uses GNOME 3, not GNOME 2. 11.04 iirc uses GNOME 2 | 08:11 |
| dr_willis | unity is a work in progress | 08:11 |
| Scott_S | sandra: sudo apt-get install gnome-shell gnome-tweak-tool (That should work) | 08:11 |
| Scott_S | sandra: Then select "Gnome" when logging in as the Desktop environment. | 08:12 |
| dr_willis | gnome-shell and uity both are getting better all the time | 08:12 |
| === com641 is now known as com64 | ||
| sandra | I appreciate the thoughtful responses. Please forgive my ignorance my son the HP software engineer put Ubuntu 11.04 on my desktop and well truth be told I have found it be a wonderful alternative to windows. | 08:13 |
| au_fait | ? | 08:14 |
| Scott_S | sandra: It definitely is a very useful and user-friendly version of Linux. | 08:14 |
| sandra | I will look into these alternatives and tools for Unity and Gnome 3. I did try Ubuntu 11.10 but noticed I had problems with my nvidia drivers both the default and current 290 driver and then Skype also malfunctioned on me, and Skype is a essential application for me both personally and professionally . | 08:17 |
| === tritium_ is now known as tritium | ||
| stevejb | anyone have a moment to help diagnose a gnome-shell issue I am seeing on 11.10? | 08:18 |

| ok_wait | does anybody know anything about plasma-desktop leaving behind artifacts like this http://picpaste.com/Workspace_1_024-3ie5JKam.jpeg even after plasma-desktop has been killed? | 08:18 |
| ikonia | sandra: because it's a different version | 08:18 |
| ikonia | sandra: both are closed sourced product, so not under the control of ubuntu | 08:18 |
| Scott_S | Heyyy ikonia is back. | 08:18 |
| ok_wait | i can click through that menu in red | 08:18 |
| sandra | ikonia: I appreciate that but I do believe Skype is a customized version made for Ubuntu 11.10 | 08:19 |
| becker_11 | Am going to have to install Ubuntu 11.10 on my laptop later haven't used it since 9.04 prefering my custom debian install instead but need to familarise myself with the changes | 08:19 |
| ikonia | sandra: you are wrong | 08:19 |
| jubei | hello. I am trying to setup vnc server on my box but I"ve found a bunch of different guides each of them proposes a different way | 08:20 |
| jubei | anybody with a sure-fire way to get vnc server on my currently running gnome desktop? | 08:20 |
| ikonia | jubei: there are many ways | 08:20 |
| jubei | ikonia, well.. ideally one that doesn't require lots of time to set up:) | 08:21 |
| ikonia | jubei: all require effort to do it well, how long that effort takes depends on your abilities | 08:21 |
| lotrpy | hello, apt-get remove fping will remove fping and zabbix-server-mysql, why it will remove zabbix-server-mysql? | 08:21 |
| jubei | ikonia, any suggestions? | 08:21 |
| ikonia | jubei: no | 08:21 |
| Tanthrix | So, I'm reading the nvidia forums, and I haven't seen a single mention of acceleration not working when rotating. Anyone know if that is the case? | 08:21 |
| sandra | ikonia: I suggest you look at the source package and where it comes from and well on Ubuntu forums and website it states that the skype package is customized for use by the Ubuntu team. | 08:22 |
| ikonia | sandra: you can't look at the source package - it's closed source | 08:22 |
| ikonia | sandra: please show me on the ubuntu website where it says skype is a custom version for ubuntu ? | 08:22 |
| lotrpy | hello, when I apt-get remove fping will remove fping and zabbix-server-mysql, why it will remove zabbix-server-mysql? it's ubuntu 11.10 | 08:23 |
| ikonia | lotrpy: does zabbix-server-mysql depend on that package ? | 08:23 |
| dr_willis | jubei: it depends on your needs and how you will use vnc also | 08:23 |
| dr_willis | !info fping | 08:23 |
| jubei | dr_willis, I just want to see my desktop and click around, nothing fancy like file transfers etc | 08:23 |
| ubottu | fping (source: fping): sends ICMP ECHO_REQUEST packets to network hosts. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.4b2-to-ipv6-16.1 (oneiric), package size 30 kB, installed size 128 kB | 08:23 |
| dr_willis | jubei: over local lan? you mean current visible desktop? or hidden remote desktop... | 08:24 |
| jubei | dr_willis, currently logged-in desktop, over the internet, no hidden stuff | 08:25 |
| dr_willis | jubei: try teamviewer | 08:25 |
| jubei | dr_willis, kk, thanks. | 08:25 |
| Scott_S | jubei: Ubuntu has a VNC server installed by default. | 08:27 |
| dr_willis | Scott_S: but over the internet. i dont think that works. | 08:27 |
| dr_willis | at least not securely | 08:27 |
| jubei | Scott_S, doesn't work unfortunately. I tried the "remote desktop" thingie | 08:27 |
| dr_willis | !vnc | 08:27 |
| Scott_S | dr_willis: It does. You simply need to open the required port on your router to your local IP address. | 08:28 |
| ubottu | VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 08:28 |
| jubei | Scott_S, for some reason it does't work on my box | 08:28 |
| dr_willis | jubei: ive had issues with it i the past also. | 08:28 |
| dr_willis | jubei: depeding on what you are doing, you could just use ssh and x forwarding | 08:29 |

| sandra | ikonia: Skype is customized for use on Oneiric and comes via oneiric channel . In any case my point was and is that Skype works flawlessly for me on Ubuntu 11.04 and that it doesn't on Ubuntu 11.10 because of a implementation of "Arch i386 file system that is suppose to enhance the use of 32 bit code on a 64 bit operating system which in my novice opinion remains to be seen. | 08:31 |

| wawrek | what is the best command line based package manager for ubuntu? | 08:36 |
| dr_willis | wawrek: i just use apt-get as needed | 08:37 |
| dr_willis | !apt | 08:37 |
| ubottu | APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) | 08:37 |
| wawrek | one thing i realy liked about gentoo is portage | 08:37 |
| wawrek | i use it, I also found aptitude | 08:38 |
| dr_willis | apt-get or aptitude are the 2 options. | 08:38 |
| wawrek | thanks | 08:38 |
| dr_willis | it pays to get your apt fu skills up. | 08:39 |

| Henric_ | Hello. I was hoping someone could help me with a problem I have. My system is dual booted with XP and oneric ocelot. When I select ubuntu from the chainloader it drops me to a black grub screen that recognizes almost no commands. Can't do sudo or anything. Something is broken. Please help. | 08:54 |
| urlin2u | Henric_, is this a fresh install of oneiric? | 08:55 |
| Henric_ | urlin2u_, no I've run it for a while. | 08:55 |
| Henric_ | I suspect it's something in the MBR or swap file that's messing with me. | 08:56 |
| urlin2u | Henric_, so when you say chainloader you mean the grub menu right? | 08:56 |
| urlin2u | Henric_ the mbr can be reloaded, the swap shouldn't be making any diffrence here. | 08:58 |
| Henric_ | urlin2u_, no, sorry, it's XPs dual boot option. Normally when selcting ubuntu I would get the grub loader (normal, recovery, etc.), the purple screen. But now it's just a black screen that gives me a command prompt. | 08:58 |
| sweb | can in completly reinstall my os just with ssh access ? | 08:58 |
| sweb | repartitioning and etc ... | 08:59 |
| urlin2u | Henric_, is this a wubi install? | 08:59 |
| Henric_ | urlin2u_, yes. | 08:59 |
| dr_willis | sweb: i dont think so. | 09:00 |
| Henric_ | urlin2u_, I also have a live CD which I made in an attempt to fix all this. | 09:00 |
| urlin2u | Henric_, have you considered a real dual boot you can get into the ubuntu to save what you need from XP. | 09:00 |
| urlin2u | media etc | 09:00 |
| sweb | dr_willis: http://askubuntu.com/questions/13106/how-can-i-install-ubuntu-on-a-headless-machine. it will just replace it ? | 09:00 |
| dr_willis | sweb: not without some extra work at least | 09:01 |
| Henric_ | urlin2u_, that would be perfect. I have no problem reinstalling the system, but I have some files I'd like to get off it first. | 09:01 |
| urlin2u | Henric_, basically wubi was not designed for long term use, | 09:01 |
| sweb | dr_willis: which is exactly require for this ? | 09:01 |
| dr_willis | sweb: ive not seen an installer that has ssh on it. | 09:01 |
| sweb | dr_willis: which is required ? kvm ? | 09:01 |
| Henric_ | urlin2u_, so I'm better off installing it from the live CD? | 09:02 |
| becker_11 | I give up the colours are crap on this monitor so I'll just install the proprietary drivers | 09:02 |
| dr_willis | sweb: i just dd a image from flash drive normally. | 09:02 |
| urlin2u | Henric_, I believe you can get your stuff out through the ubuntu file in XP, I haven't done it myself though. If I had a fix for the ubuntu i would suggest it but I'm not sure there myself. | 09:02 |
| Henric_ | How do I get the stuff through the ubuntu file in XP? | 09:03 |
| urlin2u | Henric_, you will have to look in the ubuntu file there are a couple of users on the ubuntu forums who are probably your best bet as far as any recovery. | 09:04 |
| urlin2u | maybe a fix as well hard to say | 09:05 |
| Henric_ | urlin2u_, I can do a proper install (which I thought this was), especially if I can get the files off. | 09:06 |
| urlin2u | Henric_, not a lot of wubi users in this channel, it is much busier during the day US tiome here. | 09:06 |
| Henric_ | urlin2u_, no sweat. I'll bite the bullet and reinstall. Are you saying that wubi basically let's me run ubuntu within XP? I always thought that it was just one of the ways of installing it ubuntu? | 09:07 |
| dr_willis | you can mount the wubi file from a live cd..andcopy stuff from it. or backup the whole wubi dir smewhere | 09:08 |
| dr_willis | Henric_: it boots linux frm the files | 09:08 |
| dr_willis | xp isnot loaded | 09:09 |

| urlin2u | Henric_, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#Cannot_boot_into_Ubuntu | 09:12 |
| Henric_ | Great. I'm starting to get what you're all saying here. If I understand you correctly, I can run ubuntu from the live CD, mount the wubi file as a volume, grab what I need and put it somewhere safe, and then do a fresh install of ubuntu.

| SunTsu | DirtyDawg: irssi normally shows that in your status line, right before your user modes | 09:27 |
| DirtyDawg | ahh | 09:27 |
| DirtyDawg | i removed the status line | 09:28 |
| SunTsu | DirtyDawg: then see above what llutz_ just wrote. Anyway, this is getting more spam than the initial deed ;) | 09:28 |

| Guest40999 | hi all | 09:31 |
| somsip | Worldwider: this page refers to "brisa's script" and someone who had success using it to install on 11.10 | 09:32 |
| somsip | http://www.flightgear.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=14630&p=144589 | 09:32 |

| Henric_ | OK, so I ran into a small problem... Where is the wubi file located? | 09:34 |
| Humbedooh | wubi.exe? | 09:35 |
| Janith | Worldwider: why don't you use software centre? | 09:35 |
| Guest40999 | hi all , ive got a rtl8187 usb adapter, it worked fine until a couple days ago, on 2 systems it doesnt associate with any AP, not with wpa_supplicant nor with wicd, or nm-applet, ive user rmmod , rfkill , replugging it, different usb ports, different antenna , open networks. | 09:35 |
| kltrg | My /boot partition is nearly full and I get a warning every time I reboot my system. I already deleted old kernel packages (linux-headers...), actually I did that to install a newer kernel version that came with the automatic updates. After installing that new version, the partition is nearly full again. So what else can I delete? Are there some other files associated to the old kernel images?# | 09:35 |
| Worldwider | janith it has not fgrun | 09:36 |
| Worldwider | fgrun is only a assistant | 09:36 |
| Janith | Worldwider: oh! | 09:37 |
| Henric_ | Humbedooh_, no, the wubi file that can be mounted once you're running from the live CD. My original wubi install is shot and I'm trying to recover some files before I do a clean reinstall. | 09:37 |
| Worldwider | software center has only flightgear | 09:37 |
| Henric_ | Snille_, svensk? | 09:39 |
| Humbedooh | uhm, /path/to/install/disks/root.disk ? | 09:39 |
| Janith | Guys, I want to resiz my partitions without damaging files. Is there any software like partition magic? | 09:40 |
| somsip | !parted | Janith | 09:40 |
| somsip | !gparted | 09:40 |
| ubottu | gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 09:40 |
| Gorilla_No_Baka | guys ... what am i doing wrong? anybody>? I am trying to run a script i made ( here is the script http://pastebin.com/gD9mtMAj ) and here is a screenshot http://i40.tinypic.com/1z3bic8.png any ideas? | 09:41 |
| Henric_ | Humbedooh_, no, I was thinking this would have to be somewhere in my windows folders (I'm dual booted with XP), wouldn't it? | 09:42 |
| Janith | Somsip: can it resize the ubuntu installed partition? | 09:42 |
| somsip | Gorilla_No_Baka: xorg.conf probably needs sudo access to write | 09:43 |
| somsip | Janith: what sort of partitions - all linux, or mix of windows and linux, or wubi and windows? | 09:43 |
| dagerik | Gorilla_No_Baka: set the permission bit, and run the script like this: $ sudo ./script.sh | 09:43 |
| Humbedooh | it is, henric | 09:44 |
| Janith | Somsip: mix of win. and linux | 09:44 |
| Gorilla_No_Baka | dagerik: set the permision bit as in? i am only a biginer whe it comes to scripts | 09:44 |
| happy20 | hi | 09:44 |
| dagerik | dagerik: You use chmod for this. Look it up in the shell: man chmod | 09:44 |
| Humbedooh | in c:\whatever\disks\root.disk | 09:44 |
| Humbedooh | where you installed wubi | 09:44 |
| happy20 | i am using ubuntu lts as a guest using virtualbox how do i set the screen resolution there, its very small | 09:44 |
| somsip | Janith: it'll be fine with win and linux. Well..there are no guarantees with changes to partitions so make sure you are backed up, but I've used gparted a few times to resize live partitions without data loss | 09:45 |
| llutz_ | happy20: install guest-additions | 09:45 |
| happy20 | i installed | 09:45 |
| SunTsu | Gorilla_No_Baka: that screenshot is strange. you run bash script and get a sudo password prompt although all sudo calls in that script are commented away? | 09:45 |
| SunTsu | Gorilla_No_Baka: Looks like it's telling only half the story | 09:45 |
| happy20 | liutz_ i have installed but that's not doing anything, should i mount it? if yes, how do i do that? | 09:45 |
| happy20 | i in fact installed the guest addition in ubuntu lts after starting it in virtual box | 09:46 |
| Gorilla_No_Baka | SunTsu: that was before ... small mistake typing sudo in front of cd | 09:46 |
| Gorilla_No_Baka | :) | 09:46 |
| Henric_ | Humbedooh, OK, I see what you mean. But does that hold all the data? It's not just the wubi.exe, right? | 09:46 |
| Gorilla_No_Baka | as you can see is removed from the script now | 09:47 |
| dagerik | Gorilla_No_Baka: Have you looked up the chmod program? | 09:47 |
| Humbedooh | it's an image of your ubuntu disk | 09:47 |
| Humbedooh | so it should be something like 16GB in size or such | 09:47 |
| happy20 | ok | 09:47 |
| happy20 | not | 09:47 |
| biopyte | hi. i have a problem the terminal bell not ringing .... echo -e '\a' and stuff ... no sound .... any idea? | 09:47 |
| Gorilla_No_Baka | dagerik: yeah no probs.. what i am trying to understand is what file to you wht me to chmode? | 09:48 |
| llutz_ | happy20: sudo mount /dev/sr0 /mnt then run the installerscript, sudo /mnt/..... | 09:48 |
| happy20 | i installed the guest addition from ubuntu software center | 09:48 |
| happy20 | llutz_: after i start the ubuntu machine? | 09:48 |
| llutz_ | happy20: did you restart after installation? | 09:48 |
| Humbedooh | biopyte, do you have any sound at all? ;> | 09:48 |
| SunTsu | Gorilla_No_Baka: yes, and a big mistake in not using sudo for that touch, you don't have permissions to create/change that file. I'd copy it to your directory anyway, append stuff, copy it back using sudo and chmod/chown it there using sudo | 09:48 |
| happy20 | yes | 09:48 |
| happy20 | yes i did restart | 09:48 |
| happy20 | after installing guest addition in the guest ubuntu lts | 09:49 |
| biopyte | Humbedooh, yes ... mp3, movies ... sound is fine | 09:49 |
| Gorilla_No_Baka | ok.. lemme try again | 09:49 |
| Henric_ | Humbedooh, OK, now I just have to remember where I installed it... | 09:49 |
| dagerik | Gorilla_No_Baka: To be able to run a file, it must be executable. Then you caan go $ ./script This was semirelated to your problem. | 09:49 |
| Humbedooh | is it a terminal client window on the desktop/ | 09:49 |
| Humbedooh | ? | 09:49 |
| Gorilla_No_Baka | dagerik: the script is already set as executable.. | 09:50 |
| biopyte | Humbedooh, internal speaker, of course | 09:50 |
| Gorilla_No_Baka | otherwise i would not have been able to call it from te terminal using bash | 09:50 |
| biopyte | Humbedooh, good question ... i have to find out exactly what kind of terminal it is | 09:50 |
| biopyte | one moment | 09:50 |
| SunTsu | Gorilla_No_Baka: the way you do, using "bash $script" there's no need for execution rights, because you don't execute the script but the interpreter | 09:51 |
| SunTsu | Gorilla_No_Baka: if you'd call it ./script _then_ you would need +x on it | 09:51 |
| biopyte | Humbedooh, its a gnome-terminal and i activated Terminal Bell in the settings | 09:52 |
| biopyte | no beep | 09:52 |
| Humbedooh | have you tried "xset b on"? | 09:52 |
| biopyte | no, one moment | 09:52 |
| Gorilla_No_Baka | SunTsu: i'm losing you... are you sugesting to modifiy the name of the file to something else? | 09:53 |
| Janith | Somsip: Thank you. It seems working. | 09:53 |
| somsip | Janith: cool | 09:53 |
| SunTsu | Gorilla_No_Baka: no, I was just disagreeing with you telling us that you couldn't do "bash script" the way you do without execution permissions on that script file | 09:54 |
| biopyte | Humbedooh, still no beep after "xset b on" | 09:54 |
| biopyte | echo -e '\a' | 09:54 |
| Gorilla_No_Baka | so should i chmode x the touchpad file before calling it from ther termnal again | 09:55 |
| Gorilla_No_Baka | ? | 09:55 |
| biopyte | standard ubuntu install 11.04 | 09:55 |
| biopyte | i check .bashrc | 09:55 |
| SunTsu | Gorilla_No_Baka: basically it doesn't matter. I actually would matter if you wanted to execute that script directly, unlike what you are doing | 09:55 |
| SunTsu | It* | 09:56 |
| Humbedooh | biopyte, try running "xrdb -query" and see if the config might tell you something | 09:56 |
| biopyte | ok | 09:56 |
| Humbedooh | other than that, I don't think I have that many solutions | 09:56 |
| biopyte | xrdb output gives me no clue .... dpi, antialias and stuff | 09:57 |
| Gorilla_No_Baka | dagerik: the script is already set as executable.. automizing the touchpart support make it automatic.. i could use some hand helding here... | 09:58 |
| Gorilla_No_Baka | boolck] | 09:58 |
| Gorilla_No_Baka | \damt | 09:58 |
| Gorilla_No_Baka | stupid | 09:58 |
| dagerik | Gorilla_No_Baka: Go ahead ask your questions. | 09:59 |
| biopyte | Humbedooh, "speaker" in alsamixer is set to "0" | 09:59 |
| Gorilla_No_Baka | SunTsu: .. i am speaking in a foreign language.. been away all night long working on a script that with only one click will set all the desired gsettings and gconf preferences , download desired apps installs them removes undeded stuff and now this is the only part where i am stuck a ... as i was saying before i deleted by mistake the other line i wrote... i could use some hand helding here | 09:59 |
| Gorilla_No_Baka | dagerik: SunTsu cheers guys | 09:59 |
| Humbedooh | well that might explain something I guess :> | 10:00 |
| === zatan_ is now known as zata | ||
| === zata is now known as zatan | ||
| Gorilla_No_Baka | SunTsu: is trying to tell me something.. i m afraid it foes right over my head | 10:00 |
| Gorilla_No_Baka | goes | 10:00 |
| biopyte | Humbedooh, i guess ... but i cant change the value .... where can i change it? | 10:00 |
| Humbedooh | tried sudo alsamixer? :< | 10:01 |
| biopyte | again, sound is working listenig to mp3 and stuff | 10:01 |
| dagerik | Gorilla_No_Baka: I suggest you go and google "bash tutorial". Can be very educational. | 10:01 |
| biopyte | sudo ... ok | 10:01 |
| llutz_ | biopyte: sudo modprobe pcspkr | 10:02 |
| Gorilla_No_Baka | dagerik: been doing that for the last 2 days mate.. chhers.. however i could not find an answer to what i am not able to create a file in /etc and write to it.. I understand is because of teh permision .. but i tought the touchpad script was already set as executable.. both from terminal and from the GUI | 10:02 |
| biopyte | llutz, i tried that already ... one moment i have to figure out how to change the alsamixer setting | 10:03 |
| dagerik | Gorilla_No_Baka: If you read a tutorial, you would see that you can use echo and > to write data to files. Or you could use the >> to append to files. | 10:03 |
| SunTsu | Gorilla_No_Baka: my version would be http://pastebin.com/NPCSbZeR - but attention, this is untested, better double-check it | 10:03 |
| SunTsu | dagerik: which he already did, see his previous pastey | 10:04 |
| Gorilla_No_Baka | SunTsu: dagerik cheers guys! | 10:04 |
| Stanley00 | SunTsu: I think you should "escape" the quote (") | 10:05 |
| === arunce_ is now known as arunce | ||
| Gorilla_No_Baka | guys.. thanks again.. | 10:05 |
| SunTsu | Stanley00: yeah, you're right, I only copied that part from Gorilla_No_Baka's script | 10:06 |
| Gorilla_No_Baka | hey what qute do i need to lose ? the one after echo? | 10:07 |
| mang0 | Ohgod | 10:07 |
| mang0 | I've got a bsod on a certain workspace O.O | 10:07 |
| mang0 | fixed *phew* | 10:08 |
| freedom7 | mang0, you close the jpg screenshot of a windows pc? | 10:08 |
| mang0 | teehee freedom7, no chrome crashed blue | 10:09 |
| Stanley00 | Gorilla_No_Baka: do you want all line from section to endsection goes into xorg.conf? | 10:09 |
| Gorilla_No_Baka | Stanley00: err (faceslap) that was the original idea | 10:09 |
| Gorilla_No_Baka | :) | 10:09 |
| Stanley00 | Gorilla_No_Baka: did you hear about the "HERE document" ? | 10:10 |
| Humbedooh | mang0, pfft - I've had a worse day :p | 10:10 |
| biopyte | Humbedooh, in alsamixer i unmuted 'Beep' and raised the dB ... 'Speaker' dB cant be changed .... still no BEEP after all | 10:10 |
| Randolph | hi all | 10:10 |
| Gorilla_No_Baka | the quotes.. would have prevented the lines to be written even if i had permissions.. the her edocument nice when you have to deal with lots of text... | 10:10 |
| Gorilla_No_Baka | but for few lines i thought it should not be neded | 10:10 |
| SunTsu | Gorilla_No_Baka: http://pastebin.com/VFbJ50Sc might be a better version | 10:10 |
| Gorilla_No_Baka | SunTsu: checking it now | 10:11 |
| biopyte | Humbedooh, maybe a BIOS setting? | 10:11 |
| Humbedooh | spent yesterday sifting through 1k lines of code with valgrind, trying to find a memory bug...only to discover this morning, that it was a good old case of writing "==" instead of "=" :< | 10:11 |
| Humbedooh | biopyte, if you are running it on xterm, shouldn't it use your audio device for playing the beep though? | 10:11 |
| biopyte | i dont know | 10:12 |
| SunTsu | Gorilla_No_Baka: I turned your series of echos into a single here document which bypassed the shell, therefore making quoting easier | 10:12 |
| Humbedooh | or in other words, if you do ctrl+alt=f1, does it make a beep in the real terminal? | 10:12 |
| biopyte | echo -e '\a' .... no beep | 10:12 |
| SunTsu | Humbedooh: old case of "if you have a hammer everything starts looking like a nail"? :> | 10:12 |
| Humbedooh | exactly :< | 10:13 |
| Gorilla_No_Baka | SunTsu: thanks man.. i am reading your versions now.. trying to understand them.. this is a lot better than what i came up with... :) | 10:14 |
| * Gorilla_No_Baka coffe break | 10:14 | |
| biopyte | Humbedooh, good point ... it beeps like a charme on the real terminal Ctrl-alt-F1 | 10:14 |

| biopyte | Humbedooh, so .. this tells me ... what? | 10:15 |
| Humbedooh | proxx8187, does dmesg tell you if it's working? | 10:15 |
| SunTsu | Gorilla_No_Baka: I did overlook one redirection, though, the ">> /etc/X11/xorg.conf" after Section... needs to be gone | 10:15 |
| biopyte | echo -e 'a' on tty1 ... beeps | 10:15 |

| proxx8187 | <Humbedooh>one 3 different machines(VM, ubuntu and backtr. thats whats scares me. | 10:24 |

| Humbedooh | proxx8187, maybe google "ubuntu wifi 8187 timeout"? :> | 10:25 |
| AceKing | SunTsu, I figured I'd pass that along to you in case you ever had anyone else with the same problem. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction | 10:25 |

| vsync_ | whenever you open up itunes it's there on top. But maybe it's just iDevice hipsters | 10:26 |

| is_null | it starts the connection procedure, then aborts silently and it's as if nothing had happened | 10:28 |
| Humbedooh | it's only obvious once you've realized it | 10:28 |
| is_null | althought i'm using ubuntu 11.10 with ubuntu 11.10 certified device (413c:818d http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/catalog/make/usb%3A413C/index.html?start=50&batch=50) | 10:29 |

| Humbedooh | the button that says "Alt Gr" | 10:41 |
| Humbedooh | or if you have a windows button, that plus tab usually does fancy stuff | 10:41 |
| === max is now known as Guest9000 | ||
| SunTsu | insectatorious: depends on your terminal and your shell, you better search for that | 10:45 |
| === Humbedooh_ is now known as Humbedooh | ||
| insectatorious | SunTsu: using gnome-terminal and bash | 10:46 |
| insectatorious | SunTsu: I'm guessing setting the profile of the terminal will be the simplest method? | 10:48 |
| Scott_S | Got an issue for you guys: Known to not be an ISP issue, no bandwidth issues on other devices, but this computer is experiencing ~500Kbps download speeds but 2.2Mbps upload speeds. | 10:49 |
| Scott_S | No downloads are running, there is no significant bandwidth being used, and the computer is connected via 100Mbps ethernet. | 10:50 |
| SunTsu | insectatorious: I don't know how to do that with gnome-terminal but good old aunt google might | 10:51 |
| nvz | you have an aunt named google? | 10:52 |
| SunTsu | nvz: it's everybody's aunt - and their cats', too | 10:53 |
| Jackneill | hi, can you help me? | 10:53 |
| insectatorious | SunTsu: The problem is, people on the WWW (accrd. to Google) simply want to set the title once and leave it at that. I need it to constantly reflect the last cmd | 10:53 |
| Stanley00 | !ask | Jackneill | 10:53 |
| ubottu | Jackneill: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 10:53 |
| Jackneill | my ubuntu 11.10 automatically installed updates, after i restarted, but it wont start | 10:54 |
| SunTsu | insectatorious: then why did I get this as the first hit? http://serverfault.com/questions/69312/automatically-change-the-gnome-terminal-title-for-the-window | 10:54 |
| Jackneill | i got only the login screen, after i fill my password, enter, i got blank screen, after again the login screen | 10:54 |
| proxx8187 | <Jackneill> did you check the md5sum before burning the image ? | 10:55 |
| Jackneill | proxx8187: i updated to 11.10 from 11.04, and the problem is with an update. After i installed the updates, i got the problem. | 10:56 |
| proxx8187 | oke | 10:56 |
| SunTsu | insectatorious: actually _this_ shows how to do it automatically for every given shell: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Xterm-Title-4.html | 10:56 |
| proxx8187 | <Jackneill> and can you use other session except 4 default ? | 10:57 |
| dr_willis | tldp.org is so handy ;) even if a lot of the stuff is very old skoop | 10:57 |
| dr_willis | skool | 10:57 |
| Jackneill | proxx8187: i have many sessions, xfce, and default, but all buggy, for all i got blank screen after login, after again the login screen | 10:58 |
| proxx8187 | <Jackneill> sounds like x server is a bitch, did you check graphic drivers ? | 10:58 |
| Jackneill | not yet, i dont know how to, and it was good before the update. | 10:59 |
| dr_willis | Jackneill: as a test you could stop the login manager, and try 'startx' from the console and look for errors. also you could try making a new user see if they work for the new user | 10:59 |
| Jackneill | not to update to 11.10, just an update for some programs with the update manager | 10:59 |
| Stanley00 | Jackneill: look likes some misconfig from old version had make that,you can try recovery mode, backup your home, clear youe config, and reboot again, then copy some config back | 10:59 |
| insectatorious | SunTsu: Thanks...need to improve my Google-Fu it appears.... | 10:59 |
| Jackneill | dr_willis: ok | 10:59 |
| Jackneill | stanley00: how to do? :/ | 11:00 |
| proxx8187 | drop back to cli | 11:00 |
| Stanley00 | Jackneill: just follow dr_willis first :D | 11:00 |
| Jackneill | ok | 11:00 |
| Jackneill | drop back to cli how to? | 11:00 |
| dr_willis | if it works for a new user. that shows its a user config issue | 11:00 |
| proxx8187 | crtl-alt f1 | 11:00 |
| proxx8187 | or 2 ,3 ,4 etc | 11:01 |
| SunTsu | insectatorious: all I did was searching for "gnome-terminal set changing xterm title" - not too far-fetched, right? | 11:01 |
| Jackneill | thanks, i reboot now and i do it. | 11:01 |
| dr_willis | sudo service lightdm stop to close out x also | 11:01 |
| Jackneill | ok | 11:01 |
| dr_willis | you can irc from the console. ;0 irssi, or weechat | 11:01 |
| Jackneill | ok, thanks :) | 11:02 |
| Jackneill | can i switch on the cli ? more cli? | 11:02 |
| Jackneill | so f1, f2..and start irssi on f2 | 11:02 |
| dr_willis | huh? | 11:02 |
| Stanley00 | Jackneill: yes, you can | 11:02 |

| mischat | hi all, /me isn't an ubuntu user but someone who is is having problems using software I have written | 11:05 |
| mischat | what is the difference between zlibc and zlibg1 | 11:05 |
| mischat | ? | 11:05 |
| iceroot | mischat: the difference is that zlibg1 is not in the repos | 11:06 |
| mischat | as in apt-get | 11:06 |
| mischat | ? | 11:06 |
| iceroot | mischat: apt-cache search | 11:07 |
| iceroot | !info zlibg1 | 11:07 |
| ubottu | Package zlibg1 does not exist in oneiric | 11:07 |
| mischat | sorry i am a centos/fedora user, and haven't played with ubuntu for a few years | 11:07 |
| iceroot | !info zlibc | 11:07 |
| ubottu | zlibc (source: zlibc): An on-fly auto-uncompressing C library. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9k-4.1 (oneiric), package size 71 kB, installed size 284 kB | 11:07 |
| mischat | i see | 11:07 |
| mischat | ah | 11:07 |
| mischat | zlib1g | 11:07 |
| mischat | sorry | 11:07 |
| mischat | !info zlib1g | 11:07 |
| ubottu | zlib1g (source: zlib): compression library - runtime. In component main, is required. Version 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3ubuntu3 (oneiric), package size 48 kB, installed size 168 kB | 11:07 |
| mischat | that one | 11:08 |
| mischat | !info 4store | 11:08 |

| mischat | that is my software :) ^^ | 11:08 |
| dr_willis | so.. the problem is? | 11:08 |
| mischat | !dep 4store | 11:09 |
| mischat | um | 11:09 |
| mischat | some ubuntu users it trying to install a newer version of 4store | 11:09 |
| mischat | from git | 11:09 |
| mischat | and is having problems with zlib | 11:09 |
| mischat | and they told me they are using zlib1g | 11:09 |
| mischat | am guessing that they should be using zlibc | 11:09 |
| dr_willis | he may need the -dev packages also | 11:10 |
| mischat | yeah | 11:10 |
| mischat | so would zlib1g-dev be the same as zlibc ? | 11:10 |
| mischat | !info zlibc-dev | 11:10 |
| ubottu | Package zlibc-dev does not exist in oneiric | 11:10 |
| mischat | so am guessing that zlibc has the header files | 11:10 |
| birdman_ | I have a git hook that checks out the master branch to a www/ folder. How can I make sure all the files are of the www-data group? | 11:10 |
| dr_willis | mischat: the 2 seem totally different from what the bot just said | 11:10 |
| mischat | yeah they do | 11:10 |
| mischat | thanks guys, i will ask the chappy to remove the zlib1g* stuff and to try with zlibc | 11:11 |
| dr_willis | so install both. install the dev packages for both.. ;) | 11:11 |
| mischat | ah yeah, good point | 11:11 |
| mischat | :) | 11:11 |
| mischat | is there a way to see what the apt dependencies for 4store in ubuntu are ? | 11:11 |
| mischat | on the web on using a bot in this room? | 11:11 |
| jackneill | hi from irssi | 11:12 |
| dr_willis | he could also use sudo apt-get build-deps 4store i think | 11:12 |
| jackneill | dr_willis: could not update iceauthority | 11:12 |
| dr_willis | or is it sudo apt-get build-dep 4store i think | 11:12 |
| dr_willis | jackneill: seen others with that issue befor. never noticed a fix. | 11:13 |
| dr_willis | waset paying attention to them. ;) | 11:13 |
| jackneill | sorry:) | 11:13 |
| joancito | Hi all, sorry for the interruption. But in my office we have several computers with ubuntu 11.10 that since yesterday the wifi stopped to work and the compyter freeze. I need to disable the wireless interface to make the computer work again. Anyone is having the same issue? | 11:13 |
| jackneill | can i notice him then? | 11:13 |
| dr_willis | i ber the forums and askubuntu.com got info on it | 11:13 |
| jackneill | ok | 11:14 |
| dr_willis | joancito: identical computers? what wireless? | 11:14 |
| mischat | anyways thanks guys dr_willis and iceroot | 11:14 |
| * mischat will try and figure out what the problem is … | 11:15 | |
| dr_willis | mischat: that build-dep option should pull in needed stuff | 11:15 |

| mischat | again thanks all /me will lurk here for a bit | 11:17 |
| dr_willis | ribot: use byobu, or a fancy bash prompt. | 11:18 |
| jackneill | how can i install the nv module for xorg? | 11:18 |
| dr_willis | gotta run. bbl | 11:18 |
| almoxarife | jackneill: assuming 'nv' is nvidia, install nvidia-current | 11:19 |
| jackneill | ok | 11:20 |
| jackneill | but got: it's already the newest version | 11:20 |
| jackneill | but xorg fails to load cause nv is doesnt exist | 11:21 |
| almoxarife | jackneill: lost you, is nvidia-current installed? | 11:22 |
| jackneill | almoxarife: already. | 11:22 |
| mischat | as per http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/4store <-- it seems to depend on the zlib1g and not zlibc | 11:22 |
| jackneill | but xorg fails to load, cause nv is doesnt exist | 11:22 |
| almoxarife | jackneill: and configured? | 11:22 |
| mischat | will have to find the dude which packaged up the ubuntu-ness | 11:22 |
| jackneill | almoxarife: it was already configured, i am using 11.10 and just update some things with update manager, and after restart the xorg fails to load: "could not update iceauthority file..." and from the console i got nv doesnt exist | 11:23 |

| lotrpy | ikonia, i don't know , how to check if zabbix-mysql-server depends on fping or not. I already apt-get install zabbix-mysql-server before I apt-get install fping. | 11:32 |
| ikonia | lotrpy: let it remove it, then re-install zabbix-mysql-server see if it pulls it back in, easy / quick way to test | 11:32 |
| lotrpy | ikonia, thanks, and it remove it and ask if I want to remove the mysql table of zabbix, i choose no, and reinstall zabbix_server_mysql, it looks fine at the moment. but i thinks maybe it's too aggresive to remove zabbix_mysql_server, when one just remove fping(fping's function is only a tiny part of zabbix server, and it's optional) | 11:36 |

| aldin | Gorilla_No_Baka: yap :) | 11:50 |
| Gorilla_No_Baka | if you ask me .. instead of completly change gnome 3 they should have spent some time to fix EACH AND EVERY bug gnome 2 had.. y'know..?! | 11:50 |

| Gorilla_No_Baka | well.. first of all because they want you to use the latest anf the greatest.. :) | 11:58 |

| Gorilla_No_Baka | :) | 11:59 |
| Gorilla_No_Baka | third... and the list goes on and on. :) | 11:59 |

| Gorilla_No_Baka | forth.. SunTsu got it right | 11:59 |
| conntrack | haha | 11:59 |
| dr_willis | I thought there was some 'archive' ubuntu server that had all the old releases | 12:00 |
| dr_willis | !eol | 12:00 |
| ubottu | End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 12:00 |
| dr_willis | normally people need it when trying to upgrade EOL releases | 12:00 |
| Gorilla_No_Baka | but the question is.. : WHY WOUld they create packages with lots of potential security risks in the first place? | 12:00 |
| nitiab | thanks dr_willis , that did it , but now how do i get about fixing up this ? use a third party dns server like the google's? | 12:01 |
| dr_willis | nitiab: i normally use googles dns, and opendns (one of each) :) | 12:01 |
| dr_willis | nitiab: could be a temp issue with your isp's servers | 12:01 |
| SunTsu | Gorilla_No_Baka: uhm, because software has bugs, and stuff gets fixed in newer releases - which go into newer ubuntu releases and are not backported to eol ones | 12:01 |
| pzn | Gorilla_No_Baka, SunTsu: I "shrinked" a ubuntu karmic to fit into a 32Mb compact flash card, for using it in a i386 compatible hardware... now I want to add a new package and I'm screwed :-) | 12:02 |
| Gorilla_No_Baka | SunTsu: that's a nice dipomatic answer.. | 12:02 |
| Humbedooh | pzn: that's just...silly | 12:02 |
| SunTsu | Gorilla_No_Baka: it's the utter truth. People make mistakes, and code tends to be more buggy the more complex it gets | 12:02 |

| pzn | Gorilla_No_Baka, well... it is a hard work to "upgrade", since my shrinked ubuntu does not have space for dpkg, apt... just 32Mb of harddrive :-) I'll try to compile what I need from sources and put it there. | 12:05 |
| Gorilla_No_Baka | gnome 2 was nice | 12:05 |

| freko28 | I've Installed Ubuntu on all my disk and now I wan't to add a second partition | 12:08 |
| Malamen | X.400 messages. Anyone know a client ? | 12:09 |
| dr_willis | freko28: if you used up all your disk.. you mean you want to resize the existing partions, shrink one. and create a new partiion? | 12:09 |
| freko28 | yes but how can I do this? with a live cd? | 12:10 |
| dr_willis | freko28: live cd and gparted. would be the easy way. | 12:10 |
| Humbedooh | burn a live cd and boot on it | 12:10 |
| dr_willis | freko28: make backups of anything imporntant first in any case. | 12:10 |
| freko28 | ok thx | 12:11 |
| gribouille | hi | 12:11 |
| dr_willis | there is a specific 'gparted live cd' you can get if you just want a cd specifically for resizeing, and other tasks. it will be smaller and boot faster then a ubuntu live cd. | 12:11 |
| gribouille | is firefox 9 available for oneiric? | 12:11 |
| dr_willis | but you most likely allready have a ubuntu live cd laying about. :) | 12:11 |
| dr_willis | gribouille: heard its comming.. not noticed it yet. | 12:11 |
| gribouille | ok | 12:12 |
| * dr_willis updates and upgrades and looks | 12:12 | |
| krey_ | also, I cleaned my cache just before it broke, might be related | 12:12 |
| dr_willis | dont see it today.. unless its allready there. | 12:12 |
| dr_willis | krey_: cleaned how? | 12:12 |
| gribouille | dr_willis, whicj repository will provide firefox 9? | 12:13 |
| krey_ | dr_willis: sudo apt-get clean | 12:13 |
| gribouille | dr_willis, which repository will provide firefox 9? | 12:13 |
| krey_ | dr_willis: upgrade doesn't work either :S | 12:13 |
| dr_willis | !info firefox | 12:13 |
| ubottu | firefox (source: firefox): Safe and easy web browser from Mozilla. In component main, is optional. Version 8.0+build1-0ubuntu0.11.10.3 (oneiric), package size 16526 kB, installed size 35656 kB | 12:13 |
| krey_ | dr_willis: all I get is "Reading package list... Done" then it returns | 12:13 |
| dr_willis | gribouille: ive heard its to be in the standard repos. | 12:13 |
| SunTsu | I wonder why it's not in there yet, it's a security fix | 12:14 |
| gribouille | dr_willis, where did you hear this? | 12:14 |
| dr_willis | gribouille: various ubuntu blog sites. webupd8 and omgubuntu most likely | 12:14 |
| dr_willis | those are about the only 2 i read. | 12:14 |
| Humbedooh | gribouille, you could always check out the aurora branch :) | 12:15 |
| iceroot | SunTsu: its not only a security-update, its also a major update so it needs some testing | 12:15 |
| dr_willis | http://www.webupd8.org/2011/12/firefox-9-released-with-improved.html | 12:15 |
| dr_willis | Firefox 9 will be available as a security update via the official repositories for Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot and 11.04 Natty Narwhal users, | 12:15 |
| SunTsu | iceroot: yeah, only that ff doesn't do minor upgrades anymore | 12:15 |
| fj5 | is xfce or gnome 2 better | 12:15 |
| dr_willis | fj5: depends on your needs. | 12:15 |
| SunTsu | fj5: with gnome2 gone... | 12:16 |
| gribouille | Humbedooh, no, thanks | 12:16 |
| dr_willis | fj5: given that gnome2 is basically dead.. | 12:16 |
| fj5 | really | 12:16 |
| dr_willis | fj5: lxde may also be worth looking at. | 12:16 |
| fj5 | thanks | 12:16 |
| SunTsu | yup, quite for a while now | 12:16 |
| krey_ | sudo aptitude does "Ouch! Got SIGSEGV, dying.." | 12:16 |
| fj5 | I use my old IBM X32, seem a little slow. | 12:17 |
| iceroot | SunTsu: i know but that is not a reason to put major updates directly in the repos | 12:17 |
| CaT_MaN | is it possible when use NFS to define event on requested file that is not found | 12:17 |
| SunTsu | iceroot: I know, I mostly frown at ff for it's stupid versioning policy | 12:17 |
| krey_ | dr_willis: solved, cache got corrupted (dunno how) manual removal fixed it | 12:17 |
| dr_willis | fj5: lubuntu is about the lightest desktop these days without giving up normally wanted functions. | 12:17 |
| gribouille | is the repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable available for oneiric? | 12:18 |
| fj5 | I don't know which one I should choose for my old IBM X32. | 12:18 |
| iceroot | fj5: lxde/lubuntu-desktop | 12:18 |
| dr_willis | gribouille: add it and see? it should work i imagine | 12:18 |
| fj5 | maybe xubuntu or lubuntu, or just the latest ubuntu. | 12:19 |
| fj5 | lubuntu? thanks iceroot. | 12:19 |
| dr_willis | gribouille: site says it should work... | 12:19 |
| gribouille | dr_willis, I did it, but //ppa.launchpad.net/mozillateam/firefox-stable/ubuntu/dists/oneiric doesn't exists | 12:19 |
| dr_willis | fj5: whats the specs of the machine? | 12:19 |
| iceroot | fj5: lubuntu-desktop is the metapackage to install lxde (which is imo the only usable desktop for linux at the momemt) | 12:19 |
| txomon | hi, any screen recorder for ubuntu (11.10) | 12:20 |
| gribouille | dr_willis, http://www.webupd8.org/2011/12/firefox-9-released-with-improved.html says it exixts for lucid and mverick | 12:20 |
| dr_willis | txomon: several in the repos.. recordmydesktop is a popular one. | 12:20 |
| dr_willis | Firefox 9 will be available as a security update via the official repositories for Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot and 11.04 Natty Narwhal users, but if you don't want to wait, you can already install it by using the Ubuntu Mozilla Security PPA: | 12:20 |
| txomon | dr_willis, not working well enough, gets blocked | 12:20 |
| fj5 | dr_willis, CPU: 2.0GHz, 2G ram | 12:20 |
| fj5 | no, 1G ram | 12:21 |
| dr_willis | fj5: depending on your video card. that should handle ubuntu/unity decently. but lubuntu is more lighter, and old-skool :) | 12:21 |
| fj5 | dr_willis, the video card is just 16M, so it's really old. | 12:22 |
| dr_willis | fj5: egads... | 12:22 |
| dr_willis | ;) | 12:22 |
| dr_willis | time to learn the console! | 12:22 |
| fj5 | haha | 12:22 |
| dr_willis | Lubuntu would what i would try. | 12:22 |
| dr_willis | what brand video card/chipset is it? | 12:23 |
| fj5 | let me have a think | 12:23 |
| fj5 | ATI M6 | 12:23 |
| * dr_willis hopes its not a SiS | 12:23 | |
| dr_willis | ;) | 12:23 |
| fj5 | ATI Mobility Radeon M6 LY | 12:24 |
| dr_willis | give lubuntu a shot and see.. thats about all we can say. | 12:24 |
| fj5 | OKAY | 12:24 |
| fj5 | lubuntu, I'll try it. | 12:24 |
| txomon | dr_willis, any working screen recorder? I mean, under active development etc. | 12:24 |
| dr_willis | txomon: ive only used recordmydesktop, and someone mentioned xvidcapture (i think) today | 12:25 |
| fj5 | dr_willis, which one u use now, pl. | 12:26 |
| dr_willis | fj5: neither.. | 12:27 |

| Guest2947 | Hi guys, I need to clone Ubuntu server 8.10, running SVN and Redmine, to be put offline for testing the backup integrity | 12:28 |
| Guest2947 | Can anyone help? | 12:28 |
| eutheria | when i login using gnome session classic i end up with a broken session, i have to restart lightdm to get back to a working classic session and login again | 12:28 |
| iceroot | Guest2947: so you needa complete dump of the system? | 12:28 |
| dr_willis | Guest2947: how are you going to be testing it? | 12:30 |
| Guest2947 | iceroot: That's right, I will not need them to be online on the same network in the same time. But the gotcha here is that the new machine is different, hardware wise | 12:30 |
| Gorilla_No_Baka | SunTsu: it's working .. but only from the root account! I though you might wanna know | 12:30 |
| vip_ | hi.can someone help me please?how to display at terminal or conky avialable packages or updates? | 12:31 |
| === mascot is now known as help | ||
| === vivek is now known as Vivek | ||
| Guest2947 | dr_willis: on a different network | 12:31 |
| dr_willis | vip_: like the # avail? like a console login does? | 12:31 |
| Gorilla_No_Baka | i enabled root login and i ran the script from there and it's worked | 12:31 |
| === Vivek is now known as Guest44927 | ||
| vip_ | yes please | 12:31 |
| dr_willis | Guest2947: you could test it in a virtualbox setup. | 12:31 |
| === help is now known as Guest10858 | ||
| === Guest10858 is now known as kpL | ||
| iceroot | Guest2947: different hardware = different hdd-size? | 12:31 |
| === Guest44927 is now known as Vivek | ||
| Guest2947 | iceroot: Yes, but bigger | 12:32 |
| dr_willis | vip_: theres some command/service/script that puts that info in the motd. I looked into it once ages ago. you ran the command it would print 'x# of packages to update' and so forth. but i cent recall the command or service name., | 12:32 |
| iceroot | vip_: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -s to see available updates | 12:32 |
| dr_willis | vip_: it was part of the MOTD package/scripts i recall | 12:32 |
| Guest2947 | dr_willis: How do I clone it to VitualBox? Is there a p2v for VirtualBox? | 12:34 |
| tp43 | who needs swap, it never gets used | 12:34 |
| dr_willis | vip_: perhaps --> $ /usr/lib/update-notifier/update-motd-updates-available | 12:34 |
| dr_willis | Guest2947: the vbox docs mention how to convert a real hd to a virtual hd. been ages sinve ive done it | 12:34 |
| iceroot | tp43: tell that to suspend-to-ram | 12:34 |
| tp43 | iceroot, how much memory does suspend to ram take? How can you check, is there way to save your swap usage history? | 12:35 |
| Guest2947 | dr_willis: will check, 10x a lot | 12:35 |
| keda87 | what is the best editor for python for maverick? | 12:36 |
| iceroot | !best | keda87 | 12:36 |
| ubottu | keda87: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 12:36 |
| dr_willis | keda87: geany is a popular 'programers' text editor | 12:36 |
| vip_ | I have that code in conky but this not working properly:${execi 1800 apt-get upgrade "~U" | wc -l | tail} | 12:36 |
| iceroot | keda87: and of course the answer is vim | 12:36 |
| Guest2947 | dr_willis: but if they will insist on doing it with the new computer, without virtualization, what are the other choices? | 12:37 |
| dr_willis | Guest2947: you can clone one hd to the other systems via creative use of dd, or other ways. | 12:37 |
| keda87 | i want editor like netbeans any simply run and compile quicly | 12:37 |
| ubuntu | can anyone help me with repairing GRUB? | 12:38 |
| dr_willis | keda87: try geany perhaps. | 12:38 |
| dr_willis | !ide | 12:38 |
| ubottu | Programming editors/suites: Terminal-based: vi/vim, emacs - KDE: Kate, KDevelop, Quanta+, Umbrello - GNOME: gvim, gedit, anjuta, pida, monodevelop, geany - Others: eclipse, netbeans, qtcreator | 12:38 |
| keda87 | oke thanks for advice | 12:38 |

| === test is now known as ikpL | ||
| arthurscience | so I tried to reinstall grub manually through the terminal | 12:41 |
| dr_willis | Guest2947: ive moved ubuntu installs across a wide range of hardware, and have had very few issues. | 12:41 |
| dr_willis | Guest2947: try it and see.. is the bottom line. | 12:41 |
| dr_willis | Guest2947: had issues with for example moving from pc 1 to pc2 both using nvidia video cards.. BUT the cards differning in what version of the drivers they needed.. thats about the biggest issue ive had. | 12:42 |

| dr_willis | any error messages or details you care to give? | 12:46 |
| dr_willis | about all ive ever needed to do was sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/InstalledSystemMointPoint /dev/sda --recheck | 12:46 |
| psychognite | /dev/sda is disk contains our OS..?? | 12:49 |
| DeltaEpsilon | are there native gtk3 Banshee alternative for ubuntu? | 12:49 |
| DeltaEpsilon | Psychobudgie, /dev/sda is your first hdd and is not necessary containing your OS. Most of the time it does | 12:50 |
| arthurscience | dr_willis: sure, I just don't want to overload you and I'm not always sure how to filter what is relevant | 12:50 |
| Stanley00 | DeltaEpsilon: did you try rhythmbox? it will be default in 12.04 | 12:50 |
| arthurscience | dr_willis: I tried using sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt && sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda | 12:51 |
| arthurscience | hm | 12:52 |
| arthurscience | I may have gotten it to work | 12:52 |
| dr_willis | arunce: your boot directory is tehn in /mnt/boot correct? | 12:53 |
| arthurscience | I ran sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda | 12:53 |
| arthurscience | I may have accidentally said sda5 before and that's why it didn't work...also, instead of going straight to live environment this time I went to installation and canceled...not sure if that makes a diffence but the environment is a bit different | 12:54 |

| === jason is now known as Guest57656 | ||
| deej1976 | !notunity | Starcraftmazter | 12:56 |
| ubottu | Starcraftmazter: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 12:56 |

| abstrus | Hi everyone ! I bought a USB wifi device from netgear (wna3100v1). I managed to install the XP driver through ndiswrapper fine. I now can see my router, etc. My problem is when I try to connect to it, it hangs during "configuring interface" and fail with "awaiting for authorisation". Any idea ? | 13:38 |
| evalentin | cablop: ok. but before the resize step, I believe I am failing at an early step: getting the new enc. disk setup properly during boot. Because I want it to participate on the lvm of where the / resides, I believe it must be setup in the initramfs. Using /etc/crypttab seams not the right way, because it asks for the passphrase way late, when the system is already running (a part from the bug of asking it and not waiting for me to type it, and | 13:40 |
| evalentin | that I dunno how to do it | 13:40 |

| yacc | Shalabayzer, well, I've got two solutions, although both are a little bit, well, how say, hardcore. Manually patching by unpacking, rm, repacking the initrd, and later on one can easily enough add a custom script to initramfs tools, but I'd guess there should be a way to manage that without that kind of surgery. | 13:53 |

| Shalabayzer | TiMiDo: wasting my time 'till it's 4 pm and time to go home for holidays :D | 14:10 |
| ubuntu-for-me | ikonia, thank you | 14:10 |
| TheHackOps | ikonia, I can't force the grub menu to show no matter what i do... | 14:10 |
| TheHackOps | ikonia, Tried alot of stuff | 14:10 |
| ikonia | TheHackOps: "force the grub menu"? ? | 14:10 |
| TheHackOps | ikonia, i have changed the /boot/grub/menu.lst to show grub menu at boot | 14:11 |
| TheHackOps | nothing at all | 14:11 |
| ikonia | TheHackOps: what version of ubuntu are you using | 14:11 |
| TheHackOps | ikonia, 10.10 | 14:11 |
| ikonia | is ubuntu 10.10 grub1 or grub2.... | 14:12 |
| TheHackOps | Uhh Grub2 i think | 14:12 |
| ikonia | TheHackOps: that's why menu.lst isn't working, | 14:12 |
| ikonia | TheHackOps: that's no longer a valid file in grub2 | 14:12 |
| TheHackOps | ikonia, where is the file i change? | 14:12 |
| ikonia | TheHackOps: boot the machine, select the right kernel from the grub menu, that will boot what you want | 14:12 |
| TheHackOps | ikonia, Menu = NO SHOW | 14:13 |
| ikonia | TheHackOps: hold down escape | 14:13 |
| TheHackOps | ikonia, Can't will enter boot menu then when i continue with boot it just shows like E^ | 14:13 |
| TheHackOps | if i hold it down | 14:13 |
| ikonia | TheHackOps: what? | 14:13 |
| TheHackOps | Ill try ur idea but i think i have many times | 14:14 |
| ikonia | TheHackOps: if you hold down escape it shows the grub menu | 14:14 |
| TheHackOps | brb | 14:14 |

| jutnux | Or an entirely different OS? | 14:15 |
| ikonia | jutnux: what does it matter | 14:15 |
| ikonia | IngoPaN: please don't spam | 14:15 |
| IngoPaN | no spam. sorry | 14:15 |
| ikonia | TheHackOps: it's shift, not escape | 14:15 |
| ikonia | TheHackOps: sorry, shift key | 14:15 |
| jutnux | ikonia: Was just wondering. | 14:16 |
| tj2 | does anybody have experience getting a touch screen to work under ubuntu 10.10? | 14:16 |
| ikonia | TheHackOps: sorry, it is the shift key, not the escape key you need | 14:16 |
| TheHackOps | Didn't work at all | 14:16 |
| TheHackOps | Cheers | 14:17 |
| TheHackOps | Be back again Hehehehehe | 14:17 |

| omid | i'm downloading ubuntu 10.04 cause ubuntu 11.10 sucked on my machine | 14:18 |
| Wolfsherz | omid: why did it suck? | 14:18 |
| ikonia | omid: why are you telling us this ? | 14:18 |
| ikonia | omid: it's up to you what you use, we don't care | 14:18 |
| omid | i had unusual bugs with it | 14:18 |
| omid | ikonia, i wanna tell the developers that unity has unusual problems on some hardware | 14:19 |
| ikonia | omid: log a bug on launchpad.net then | 14:19 |
| omid | i reported some bugs and posted on forums | 14:19 |
| ikonia | omid: ok, then they know | 14:19 |
| ikonia | omid: if you reported bugs on launchpad.net - they are informed | 14:19 |
| omid | i believe 10.04 is better for me | 14:19 |
| ikonia | omid: ok, use what you want, it doesn't matter to us | 14:19 |
| omid | i wanted to ask some questions . dont shot at me . | 14:20 |
| ikonia | omid: then ask them, | 14:20 |
| omid | first of all . as you know ubuntu 10.04 is 2 years old. does it means i have to download lots of updates ? | 14:20 |
| Tzunamii | haha | 14:20 |
| ikonia | omid: you will have updates available to you, you don't have to download them | 14:20 |
| TheHackOps | Yay Fixed my le problemo | 14:21 |
| TheHackOps | High five :_) | 14:21 |
| lenzi | where can i get the ppd file for HP-LaserJet-100-colorMFP-M175a model? | 14:21 |
| Pici | omid: And keep in mind that they will be security updates, you won't be seeing the same program versions that you did in 11.10 | 14:21 |
| omid | another one is that can i install the newest software using ubuntu software center?for example i know that ubuntu 10.04 comes with openoffice.org . is the latest libreoffice version available in ubuntu software center for 10.04 ? | 14:21 |
| Pici | omid: no | 14:22 |
| Pici | !latest | omid | 14:22 |
| ubottu | omid: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. | 14:22 |
| omid | so i'm forced to use old software ? | 14:22 |
| TheHackOps | The guy that was helping me Cheers man ur da bomb | 14:22 |
| ikonia | TheHackOps: no problem | 14:22 |
| Wolfsherz | omid: you are not forced to use anything at all. | 14:22 |
| Pici | omid: You're not forced to do anything. You are using an older release which has older packages. | 14:22 |
| lenzi | where can i get the ppd file for HP-LaserJet-100-colorMFP-M175a model? | 14:23 |
| TheHackOps | ikonia, Never updated without something breaking this time is was a screen lag problem so i think ill never update again | 14:23 |
| ikonia | ok | 14:23 |
| omid | i had lots of problems with 11.10 . some of them were really unusual. when i touched my laptop's full plastik palmrest my windows moved between virtual desktops for no appearant reason while the mouse and touchpad sensitivity was on its lowest . | 14:24 |
| TheHackOps | ikonia, Can i remove the newest version or at least set this kernal version to the default | 14:24 |
| Wolfsherz | lenzi: have you tried hp.com already? | 14:24 |
| Pici | omid: Unless you are asking a support question, we don't need a detailed rundown of what issues you had. | 14:24 |
| lenzi | Wolfshenz: Its not that easy | 14:26 |
| omid | sorry i didnt know that reporting problems here resaults the attack of ubuntu fan boys . | 14:26 |
| tj2 | can anybody help me with my touchscreen problem? my touchscreen is being picked up as a mouse and its preventing my mouse from working correctly | 14:26 |
| lenzi | I am looking for it here: http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting | 14:27 |
| Pici | omid: This channel is not a place to just report bugs. Thats what launchpad is for. As you can see this channel is very busy, thats why we ask that people keep stay on-topic. | 14:27 |
| TheHackOps | ikonia, Can i remove the newest version or at least set this kernal version to the default | 14:29 |
| omid | Pici, thankyou . i understand . i was saying that people can mention such things in a friendlier manner. | 14:30 |
| dp | is there a reason that the empathy package depends on libebook1.2-12, but that package is no longer available? | 14:34 |
| Pici | dp: That package should be available. What release of Ubuntu are you using? | 14:35 |

| Daxter | is ikonia a bot? | 14:51 |
| ikonia | no | 14:51 |
| six7 | is there a way to remove the 'blinking dots' loading screen for ubuntu 11.04 entirely? | 14:51 |
| dr_willis | Turing Test Passed. :) | 14:51 |
| theadmin | Daxter: The only bots around here are Floodbot1-3 and ubottu | 14:51 |
| six7 | if I want a pure text-based boot [i.e. see everything that the computer is doing] ? | 14:51 |
| deej1976 | dp: have you run a "sudo apt-get upgrade" ? | 14:51 |
| dr_willis | six7: disable plymouth. that can be done in /etc/default/grub by adding the 'nosplash' option i think | 14:52 |
| theadmin | six7: Append "noquiet nosplash" to your kernel line | 14:52 |
| dr_willis | six7: for JUST text.. use the text option. that disables the login manager also | 14:52 |
| dr_willis | !text | 14:52 |
| ubottu | To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 14:52 |
| dr_willis | six7: you might want to disable the framebuffer also 'nofb' :) | 14:52 |
| Daxter | six7: the loading screen is not showing up right (aka plymouth).. sudo gedit /etc/conf.d/initramfs-tools/splash andd line FRAMEBUFFER=y | 14:52 |
| Daxter | iirc i think thtas what helped me | 14:52 |
| dp | deej1976: yes. that's actually what uninstalled empathy in the first place | 14:53 |
| dr_willis | I t3end to just disable plymouth. It just seems to cause more issues then its worth. | 14:53 |
| chasmo | Has anyone had success installing Word Perfect on Ubuntu 11.10? | 14:53 |
| dr_willis | word perfect.. now thats old skool. :) | 14:53 |
| Daxter | ^yes | 14:53 |
| dr_willis | it has a linux port? | 14:53 |
| deej1976 | dp: What did you install to cause empathy to uninstall ? have you added an empathy PPA | 14:54 |
| chasmo | There's a debian package | 14:54 |
| === Nounou- is now known as FighT | ||
| six7 | dr_willis: that !text link doesn't point to any section of that article | 14:54 |
| chasmo | I have a coworker who I do Linux support for who is trying to revive it. | 14:55 |
| dr_willis | six7: not my fault. | 14:55 |
| six7 | just pointing it out | 14:55 |
| six7 | didn't know if you ran the bot or not | 14:55 |
| === FighT is now known as CybioZ101 | ||
| dr_willis | you apppend text tot eh end of the noquiet nosplash stuff. | 14:55 |
| dp | deej1976: I did an upgrade. AFAIK, I have no empathy PPAs | 14:55 |
| dr_willis | chasmo: so its now open sourced? | 14:56 |
| chasmo | He's tried using ldd, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, LD_DEBUG, etc but no joy | 14:56 |
| six7 | dr_willis: and that disables the login manager? does that matter with what is essentially a LiveCD? | 14:56 |
| chasmo | dr_willis: good question, I don't know | 14:56 |
| dr_willis | six7: not sure what it would do on a live cd. | 14:56 |
| dr_willis | chasmo: if its just an old binary .deb package. its very likjely the libs it needs are not the right versions any more. | 14:56 |
| chasmo | It's the last week of school, haven't had time to peek at his output or delve deeply myself | 14:57 |
| six7 | dr_willis: we have a net install of Ubuntu for testing purpose in my shop; about 10% of computers fail to boot at all, they just get stuck on the 'blinking dots' screen, so I was wnting to see where they're actually failing | 14:57 |
| dr_willis | six7: try the nomodeset option, space when you see the little keybord=man icons, under F5 or F6 i think | 14:57 |
| dr_willis | !nomodeset | 14:57 |
| ubottu | A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 14:57 |
| Daxter | six7: did you update the bios on the computers? i klnow my old machine kept failing with hdds till i upgraded bios | 14:58 |
| deej1976 | dp: Sorry, if you've not got any extra ppa's enabled, and it was removed with an upgrade, it's past my experiences | 14:58 |
| dr_willis | You could set nomodeset as the default also i guess. | 14:58 |
| chasmo | dr_willis, thanks | 14:58 |
| six7 | Daxter: yeh, BIOSes are all up to date; it seems to me more of a latency thing, but not 100% | 14:58 |
| dr_willis | actually if you hit esc on the blinking dots. (plymouth) i though you could see the messages. | 14:58 |
| dr_willis | i may be wrong. :) | 14:58 |
| six7 | it'd be nice to streamline it for my coworkers | 14:59 |

| chasmo | six7, you may be able to dig up info if you search for 'chain loader', the first and second stages of which are actually printing the dots. IIRC, there's a missing dot (a space) that indicates when the first stage hands off control to the 2nd. | 15:05 |

| progre55 | hi guys. I'm using "select into outfile", and when the outfile is pointed to /tmp/file, it works fine, and the file is owned by mysql:mysql but when I create a separate directory on a different location and chown to mysql:mysql, it says "Can't create/write to file" | 15:13 |
| progre55 | I was told it was apparmor | 15:13 |
| progre55 | how do you disable it, or what's the preferred way of doing this? | 15:13 |
| insectatorious | I have two files in different paths, one is a symlink of the other. Both have the same name. How do I know which is the symlink and which is the main file? | 15:13 |

| Gentoo64 | progre55, i think by default only a few thigns are enabled | 15:15 |

| harovali | hi there, I need a tool like ps2txt but reversed, txt2ps , so that I can print with some text customizations, like putting a bold type font to the text. Is there some obvious (or not-so-obvious) tool available to use ? | 15:48 |

| usc911 | hey guys, just set up a new server for a friend and now trying to map 4 windows xp machines to it. Problem im having is that the machines wont connect, they ask for a username and password. I have my samba conf set not to use passowrds though. any thoughts | 15:50 |
| Zizzu | dont you have fear of hackers if you use servers?? | 15:51 |
| travisHAZE | ofc | 15:51 |
| Zizzu | i have an hardware rootkit and some hackers can enter my ubuntu after i install it and with 2 firewalls | 15:52 |

| usr13 | Zizzu: How did you get this rootkit? | 15:55 |
| harovali | usr13: yes I know that tool, but I need to convert *to* ps (from raw text), is there something to do that ? | 15:56 |
| llutz | jita: ugly - "sed -i 's/^ //' file" | 15:57 |
| six7 | jita: easy with a hackish method: cat file.txt | while read LINE; do echo "$( echo "$LINE" | sed 's/\ //' | sed 's/\ //' | sed 's/\ //' | sed 's/\ //' )" >> file2.txt; done | 15:57 |
| six7 | hmm, I assumed that the first four spaces were not necessarily together | 15:57 |
| Zizzu | usr13 i have been hacked long time ago when i was totally noob on an irc server and i keep getting this thing from hardware :( | 15:57 |

| donavan01 | ok is the new launcher that ubuntu uses really helpful or just a giant pain in the rear ... I just started using ubuntu for the first time in about 2 years and it took me about 20 mins to find the freaking terminal | 16:02 |
| Zizzu | anyone know what i should search for remove a thing like this from computer? | 16:02 |
| Metroshica | gplikespie, there is a variety of methods, depending on the file size and how much you want to learn. You can use some basic tools like gmail to Dropbox to send files. If it's a VM you can use shared directories. You can also set up a samba share. If you have ssh access, I recommend winscp, definitely one of the easiest tools to use | 16:02 |
| gplikespie | VM is virtual machine, right? | 16:02 |
| Metroshica | gplikespie, exactly | 16:02 |
| Stepnjump | Do any of you know of a tool that would create a shortcut with a URL in Opera or other? | 16:03 |
| six7 | donavan01: ctrl-alt-F[1-6] if you're desperate | 16:03 |
| donavan01 | six7 oh I found it but is seems like ubuntu is trying to cater to the OSX crowd too much everything has become so mickey mouse that makes it hard to find things | 16:05 |
| theadmin | Stepnjump: Um, "opera http://example.org" | 16:05 |
| usr13 | harovali: enscript - converts text to Postscript, HTML or RTF with syntax highlighting | 16:05 |
| six7 | donavan01: which version are you using? | 16:05 |
| Metroshica | donavan01, honestly, I hate it, if you prefer not to use it, just select use Ubuntu Classic at the bottom of the login screen when you login. That will take you to the older ubuntu desktop you're used to, a much more intuitive interface imo | 16:05 |
| Metroshica | donavan01, agreed | 16:05 |
| llutz | six7:then easier, less hackish :) sed -i -e 's/ //' -e 's/ //' -e 's/ //' -e 's/ //' file | 16:05 |
| donavan01 | the latest build 11.10 I think | 16:05 |
| harovali | usr13 thanks !!!! | 16:05 |
| Stepnjump | what do you mean theadmin | 16:05 |
| theadmin | Stepnjump: That as a command. | 16:05 |
| gplikespie | Ah thanks, thats helped | 16:05 |
| Stepnjump | really, at the terminal theadmin? | 16:06 |
| deej1976 | Zizzu: try install chkrootkit rkhunter unhide | 16:06 |
| donavan01 | mertoshica thanks ... I think this interface would be good for tablets but for a desktop I think its a gaint pain | 16:06 |
| theadmin | Stepnjump: No, for your shortcut -_- | 16:06 |
| AdvoWork | if root makes a directory, can i give testuser access to make/modify files within that dir? | 16:06 |
| theadmin | AdvoWork: Sure. | 16:06 |
| Metroshica | donavan01, I agree with you completely, I think Ubuntu made a huge mistake in offering that desktop for all versions | 16:06 |
| Stepnjump | theadmin, so I would type that in the URL bar? | 16:06 |
| usr13 | Stepnjump: He's giving you an example. You substitute example.org with the site of your choice. | 16:07 |
| Stepnjump | ok thanks, I'll check the man pages | 16:07 |
| AdvoWork | theadmin, what would the command have to be? | 16:07 |
| theadmin | usr13: s/he/she/, be careful when assuming :P | 16:07 |
| theadmin | AdvoWork: chmod/chown the directory properly | 16:07 |
| gplikespie | Now, If I could just get a command to make coffee... /mocha? | 16:07 |
| usr13 | theadmin: Ok. sorry :0 | 16:07 |
| six7 | llutz: what's -i switch do? I forget | 16:07 |
| AdvoWork | theadmin, but if the owner is root, i wouldnt have to chown it would i? | 16:07 |
| donavan01 | I dont think it would be bad if they gave you a choice but its kinda forced | 16:08 |
| theadmin | AdvoWork: You can just add the person who needs access to the group which owns it or something like that. | 16:08 |
| llutz | six7: in-file | 16:08 |
| six7 | llutz: does that remove the need for escaping spaces? | 16:08 |
| donavan01 | mertoshica ... yeah I dont have the option to log into the regular gnome | 16:09 |
| llutz | six7: -i has nothing to do with that | 16:09 |
| six7 | llutz: then don't you need to escape them? | 16:09 |
| llutz | six7: no | 16:09 |
| six7 | or double-quote each parameter | 16:09 |
| six7 | i.e. 's/\ //' or "s/ //" | 16:09 |

| theadmin | Wow, that's a lot of stuff | 16:11 |
| Metroshica | donavan01, You should, once you select your name from the existing users, at the very bottom of the screen a couple menus will show up. There will be a couple different options, such as selecting your keyboard layout and whatnot. In the middle or right side, it should have one that lets you choose which desktop. If you select Ubuntu Classic, that should get rid of the launcher bar. | 16:11 |
| AdvoWork | theadmin, i did: groupadd devteam THEN: usermod -a -G devteam testuser THEN chgrp devteam /var/www/testfolder/ which seemed to work, but ftpd in as that user, tried to make a folder within there and it said permission denied | 16:12 |
| theadmin | AdvoWork: Did you look at setfacl and getfacl? Those are often helpful if you have a filesystem with ACL support (e.g. ext2/3/4) | 16:12 |
| donavan01 | metroshica ... nope no dice let me see if I can get you a screen shot | 16:13 |
| Metroshica | donavan01, I apologize, apparently Ubuntu 11.10 doesn't come with the classic desktop like 11.04 does, I had assumed it did. However, you do have the ability to install it, and it seems pretty easy. Try this link here, it gives a pretty good tutorial on how to do it. http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2011/09/11/install-the-classic-desktop-in-ubuntu-11-10/ | 16:14 |
| AdvoWork | theadmin, is there no way of doing that without? | 16:14 |
| donavan01 | Thanks | 16:15 |
| theadmin | AdvoWork: There might be... Not so sure right now | 16:15 |
| six7 | donavan01: best bet is to run away from Unity and Gnome3 as fast as you can ;) | 16:15 |
| Metroshica | six7, donavan01 exactly | 16:15 |
| === funkss is now known as Mangap2_Ga_Ngert | ||
| donavan01 | so whats the best desktop to go with then ... like I said been out of the loop for a bit | 16:16 |
| six7 | donavan01: depends on your preferences | 16:16 |
| Metroshica | classic ubuntu desktop, which can be installed by typing in apt-get install gnome-panel | 16:16 |
| six7 | Gnome2 is nice, if a bit simpler and/or less fancy | 16:16 |
| Metroshica | donavan01, but that's if you want a more basic desktop | 16:16 |
| six7 | xfcs is slick, and minimal | 16:16 |
| Metroshica | donavan01, it's not the end all, I've tried out KDE and like it a lot, it's up to you, but if you used to use Ubuntu and liked how it used to be, get the classic ubuntu desktop | 16:17 |
| donavan01 | yeah its just running in a virtual machine and I need it to do some kernel builds im trying to learn about for my android phone so gnome 2 will do just fine I would think | 16:17 |
| Metroshica | donavan01, if you're running it in a VM, you might want to install 10.04. It a LTS version so it's more stable,I've had issues running 11.10 in a VM since it's newer and not officially supported yet. In fact, I actually switched my VM to 10.04 last night. | 16:19 |
| AdvoWork | is there any reason if ive done chown root:devteam /myfolder where testuser is part of devteam, yet they still cant create folders within that dir? | 16:19 |
| Metroshica | donavan01, also, 10.04 doesn't come with this Unity desktop crap, so you don't have to deal with this | 16:19 |
| Metroshica | AdvoWork, are the permissions for myfolder 775? | 16:19 |
| Metroshica | AdvoWork, if it's the default 755, they still won't have write privileges even if they're in the group | 16:20 |
| donavan01 | well I already have 11.10 on this machine running and being that im just trying things right now im not worried about it ... but when I start getting serious I will probably go with the 10.04 because I will be running it on dedicated hardware that I know works with 10.04 flawlessly | 16:20 |
| AdvoWork | Metroshica, as a test i did 777 and same problem? | 16:21 |
| Metroshica | if 777 didn't work, then there is an issue, as 777 gives permission to everyone | 16:21 |
| AdvoWork | any idea what the issue could be? or what I can do to debug? | 16:22 |
| AdvoWork | root created the myfolder | 16:22 |
| Metroshica | can the root user make changes? | 16:22 |
| dr_willis | what filesystem is this folder on? | 16:23 |
| AdvoWork | Metroshica, yeah the user can | 16:24 |
| donavan01 | so whats the real difference between gnome 2 and 3 ? | 16:24 |
| AdvoWork | dr_willis, how can i find that? | 16:24 |
| Metroshica | donavan01, there's a lot of underlying differences that aren't obvious, if you just google gnome3 changelog you can read them all | 16:24 |

| vArmon | I'm trying to see which runlevel I'm in, and then possibly trying to change it, but for some bloody reason, /etc/inittab doesn't even exist. I'm told it has been replaced with "systemd", but I find no information on how to a) see the current runlevel, b) edit the default runlevel. | 16:36 |
| shaneo | anyone here a psybnc user | 16:36 |
| cipherboy | Boreeas meaning what? More specifically, what types of files. | 16:36 |
| Pici | !runlevels | vArmon | 16:36 |
| ubottu | vArmon: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. | 16:37 |
| cipherboy | shaneo can't say Ido, | 16:37 |
| vArmon | ubottu: Okay, thanks... so, basically, there is no distinction between runlevels 2/3 and 5 anymore? | 16:37 |

| Pici | vArmon: exactly. | 16:38 |
| vArmon | This doesn't answer the question, though. How do I change the runlevel? I want the default runlevel to be 1. | 16:38 |
| SirSpam | Ubuntu 11.10 runs on an Intel Atom CPU right? | 16:38 |
| Boreeas | I was curious, since there are mostly folders and only two or the files | 16:38 |
| vArmon | Pici: Thanks. | 16:38 |
| Pici | vArmon: The default iirc is 2. | 16:38 |
| vArmon | Pici: Right, but how do I change it to 1} | 16:38 |
| vArmon | ? | 16:38 |
| Pici | vArmon: 'sudo init 1' | 16:39 |
| AlbertP | cipherboy: the option does not exist in TB's config. Perhaps it did in the past but 8.0 does not have it. | 16:39 |
| vArmon | Pici: I mean the default runlevel. | 16:39 |
| cipherboy | Boreeas: forgot exact path, but I think it is /usr/share/Mozilla/plugins but you will need to navigate to get the path correct. Probably it is in Firefox not Mozilla. | 16:39 |
| Pici | vArmon: Can I ask why you would want to do that? | 16:39 |
| AlbertP | anyway dinner is ready. Bye all. | 16:39 |

| P3nGu1N | @drworm the people on 4chan also suggested changing OS to Gentoo solve the problem, but that seems a bit overkill and my wife hates it when I switch OS. She doesn't like trying to learn a new one once she's gotten used to the old one. | 16:57 |
| drworm | P3nGu1N, Have you been on 4chan often? | 16:58 |
| P3nGu1N | so, thank you for your suggestion. | 16:58 |
| P3nGu1N | drworm semiregularly | 16:58 |
| DarkStar1 | Hello guys. | 16:59 |
| drworm | P3nGu1N, then you should know that, much the same as any place on the internet, and in fact probably more so on 4chan, they were probably trolling you when they said "install Gentoo". | 16:59 |
| drworm | I mean, Gentoo has it's merits. | 16:59 |
| DarkStar1 | Is it possible to change the locale of my system from say english to french pls? | 16:59 |
| gigi87 | hey guys | 16:59 |
| * edbian agrees with drworm | 16:59 | |
| xangua | DarkStar1: install french language | 16:59 |
| noob7 | not sure whether this is the right place to ask, but is it possible to run gtk-3 apps i coded on linux using python on windows? | 17:00 |
| drworm | If cutting edge isn't enough for you and you need need *NEED* bleeding edge and megaultraOCD customization, then yeah. | 17:00 |
| P3nGu1N | I posted in the /tech/ section and expected serious suggestions. I know most other sections would tell you to delete your kernel and make it run faster :P | 17:00 |
| DarkStar1 | xangua: how? it's a remote system | 17:00 |
| edbian | noob7, yeah, but it is a pain in the butt | 17:00 |
| edbian | noob7, hang on lemme google | 17:00 |
| gigi87 | i wanna use ppa-purge, but i dont know exactly the ppa's name to put into the command. | 17:00 |
| russellpool | I have a toshiba laptop that the drive failed in. I replaced the drive and reinstalled ubuntu and it was working fine. Yesterday when I went to turn it on, it promps me to select Windows or Linux to boot, then it goes to a blank screen with a blinking cursor. I also have tried booting from CD and USB but they both do the same thing as when just booting from the hard disk. Any Ideas? | 17:00 |
| xangua | DarkStar1: ssh¿ | 17:00 |
| DarkStar1 | xangua: I am ssh'ed in | 17:01 |
| noob7 | edbian: gtk3 is poorly documented, google doesn't help a lot.. | 17:01 |
| edbian | noob7, I've done it with python and gtk 2.x | 17:01 |
| edbian | noob7, so I'm guessing yes | 17:01 |
| russellpool | Any Ideas on that laptop question? | 17:01 |
| edbian | noob7, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6006689/where-can-i-download-precompiled-gtk-3-binaries-or-windows-installer | 17:01 |
| edbian | noob7, Found that | 17:02 |
| noob7 | edbian: is it wise to use gtk with python? not a lot of people seem to use it | 17:02 |
| gigi87 | i wanna use ppa-purge, but i dont know exactly the ppa's name to put into the command. can i tell from synaptic history? | 17:02 |
| edbian | russellpool, You replaced the harddrive? | 17:02 |
| drworm | P3nGu1N, yeah, I get on /p/ a lot, and they're pretty good there. | 17:02 |
| edbian | noob7, Umm, depends what you want. The good part of gtk & python is speed of development. That is, it's easy and fast to write code | 17:02 |
| noob7 | edbian: the windows binaries links to rpm files, not sure how ill use them on windows | 17:03 |
| edbian | noob7, Personally I don't have much experience with other GUI toolkits. I can say that sometimes gtk is not documented well | 17:03 |
| russellpool | yes I had replaced the HD last week, but there is a new issue now!!! | 17:03 |
| russellpool | edbian, yes I had replaced the HD last week, but there is a new issue now!!! | 17:03 |
| edbian | noob7, Strange. I'm not sure. Well the first responder on that link says 'there are no precompiled binaries' so maybe you have to compile gtk3 for yourself for windows | 17:03 |
| edbian | russellpool, Does the hdd have the OSs installed on it? | 17:04 |
| russellpool | Do you know what plan of attacK I should take to fix this problem? | 17:04 |
| edbian | noob7, I'm not sure any of this will work. Since google doesn't return much I'm guessing gtk3 on windows is not a thing yet | 17:04 |
| edbian | russellpool, Do you have the OSs installed on this new hdd? | 17:04 |
| xangua | gigi87: search for it on launchoad | 17:05 |
| vip_ | hello.how to dispaly avialable updates at terminal? | 17:05 |
| noob7 | edbian: it is absolutely necessary for me for it to run in windows, maybe i should change toolkits before i get too far with my code? | 17:05 |

| cougarden | is there a zero configuration deb, that will allow me to ssh into my linux-noobish friends ubuntu mashine without any portforwarding etc? | 17:20 |
| ghostirc1 | anyone have experience with XRDP? | 17:20 |
| edbian | cougarden, port forwarding cannot be avoided in software | 17:20 |
| edbian | cougarden, And you have to install openssh-server on the target machine (the machine you log into) | 17:20 |
| edbian | cougarden, * port forwarding cannot be avoided in software on the server | 17:21 |
| cougarden | edbian, i thought of some server in the middle like many vpn services provide | 17:21 |
| histo | cougarden: you could use teamviewer then you wouldn't need port forwarding | 17:21 |
| histo | cougarden: or some other form of reverse connection. | 17:21 |
| edbian | cougarden, That server will still connect to your friends machine via port forwarding on his router | 17:21 |
| cougarden | histo, thanks maybe i will try that | 17:21 |
| edbian | cougarden, I'm assuming you actually need to forward some port | 17:22 |
| gigi87 | hey guys is someone good in ppa-purge? | 17:22 |
| edbian | histo, cougarden He's right! use teamviewer | 17:22 |
| cougarden | edbian, i just need to fix a printers driver :) | 17:22 |
| histo | cougarden: teamviewer connects via one of their servers as a man in the middle there is no port forwarding that needs to be setup. | 17:22 |
| edbian | cougarden, one time use? use teamviewer def | 17:22 |
| cougarden | edbian, histo thank you! | 17:22 |
| histo | cougarden: if you want to setup someting long term I would look at a reverse vnc or nx connection. | 17:22 |
| edbian | cougarden, sure! | 17:23 |

| freethinking_chi | can anyone help me I am trying to install the update Microsoft windows compatibility layer and I get a code that says | 17:29 |
| freethinking_chi | Requires installation of untrusted packages | 17:29 |
| freethinking_chi | The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources. | 17:29 |
| freethinking_chi | what should I do? | 17:29 |
| edbian | freethinking_chi, what does 'Microsoft Windows Compatibility Layer' do? | 17:30 |
| edbian | freethinking_chi, and why do you need it in Ubuntu? | 17:30 |
| freethinking_chi | its an update for wine | 17:30 |
| edbian | freethinking_chi, sudo apt-get safe-upgrade says what? | 17:30 |
| edbian | freethinking_chi, same thing? | 17:30 |
| freethinking_chi | I need it to install som windows files | 17:30 |
| freethinking_chi | namely a driver I need | 17:30 |
| TiMiDo | freethinking_chi, install ndiswrapper | 17:31 |
| edbian | TiMiDo, what? | 17:31 |
| TiMiDo | for windows drivers | 17:31 |
| freethinking_chi | whats that do? | 17:31 |
| edbian | TiMiDo, That works for some specific windows wifi drivers. It does not work for any windows driver for anything | 17:31 |
| freethinking_chi | and what about windows files I need to install | 17:31 |
| TiMiDo | ndiswrapper is to Install windows Drivers. | 17:31 |
| Cogito446 | sudo apt-get upgrade | 17:31 |
| TiMiDo | if drivers are not support it on Linux | 17:32 |
| TiMiDo | edbian, of course not only a few drivers do work | 17:32 |
| TiMiDo | i had that same issue onces | 17:32 |
| edbian | freethinking_chi, TiMiDo stop that. ndiswrapper is for some specific windows wifi drivers only | 17:32 |
| edbian | http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/ndiswrapper/index.php?title=Main_Page | 17:32 |
| freethinking_chi | so back to my question how do I install the update | 17:33 |
| edbian | freethinking_chi, what are you doing that causes the error to arise? | 17:33 |
| bbeattie | anyone know of a repos for 10.04lts server that has a 3.1.x kernel tree? | 17:33 |
| freethinking_chi | tryimg to install the updat | 17:33 |
| edbian | freethinking_chi, can you be more specific? Are you installing something on cli using apt? Are you clicking something in some wine gui? Are you installing the driver using wine and getting this error? | 17:34 |
| rumpe1 | bbeattie, lts 10.04 server? 3.1. kernel? ... that doesn't make any sense. | 17:34 |
| edbian | bbeattie, There is an Ubuntu run PPA for the newer kernels. Google it | 17:34 |
| gigenieks | OK, I am reading --- https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingEasyHowTo --- and I'm a bit stuck on Step 3. Can someone give a lil help?? | 17:34 |
| motafoca | guys, i know this might be stupid, but im not sure how to proceed. I have a device with a touchscreen, that on LiveCD Works perfect, but when i install ubuntu, the same stops working, ive googled for answers and nothing, triend making a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and nothing. How can i copy the X configuration for the touch to work after install?? Thanks! | 17:34 |
| freethinking_chi | using the software updater in ubuntu | 17:34 |
| freethinking_chi | thats it | 17:34 |
| edbian | bbeattie, I'm not sure that you can run kernel 3.x on 10.04 | 17:34 |
| edbian | freethinking_chi, what happens if you run 'sudo apt-get safe-upgrade' | 17:34 |
| Cogito446 | freethinking_chi, try sudo apt-get upgrade | 17:34 |
| edbian | freethinking_chi, without quotes of course | 17:34 |
| edbian | Cogito446, safe-upgrade no? | 17:34 |
| bbeattie | edbian: I test ran a 3.0 kernel, did 3.1 have an architecture change since 3.0? | 17:34 |
| Cogito446 | yes | 17:35 |
| edbian | bbeattie, IDK | 17:35 |
| freethinking_chi | wth is sudo apt? | 17:35 |
| edbian | bbeattie, If 3.0 worked 3.x probably will | 17:35 |
| drake1 | i try to ask in linux instead. bye | 17:35 |
| edbian | freethinking_chi, It's a command you run in the terminal | 17:35 |
| edbian | freethinking_chi, sudo makes you root and apt-get is a command line interface for the package manager | 17:35 |
| bbeattie | edbian: hmm, maybe I'll hold at 2.6.38 until 12.04 comes out and rebuild everything, not ideal but if it's safer. | 17:35 |
| TiMiDo | edbian, stop what? | 17:36 |
| edbian | bbeattie, ok | 17:36 |
| bbeattie | thx | 17:36 |
| freethinking_chi | ok... without doing that can you help me with the error message its this>>>Requires installation of untrusted packages | 17:36 |
| freethinking_chi | The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources. | 17:36 |
| edbian | TiMiDo, Saying that ndiswrapper allows any windows driver to run on linux | 17:36 |
| TiMiDo | i said some drivers | 17:36 |
| freethinking_chi | how do i get it to accept that source | 17:36 |
| edbian | freethinking_chi, no, run the command so we can help with that error message | 17:36 |
| edbian | freethinking_chi, I think running that command is the solution to that error | 17:36 |

| TiMiDo | gigenieks, read the INSTALL it tells you what to do and how to compile a program always. | 17:41 |
| edbian | gigasoft, you need the terminal to be in the same folder though first | 17:41 |
| Humbedooh | "make" compiles it, "make install" copies it to the right places | 17:41 |

| iceowl | ./configure runs a script that will tell the compiler what tools your system has, and how your system works. make runs the compile script. make install tells the compile script to install the compiled program files in pre-set locations. | 17:44 |

| iceowl | gigenieks: ps, the reason you type a ./ before configure is because this script is not in your executables path, so it gives your shell a path to the executable. | 17:49 |
| ikonia | TiMiDo: it's a supybot | 17:49 |
| iceowl | . is the current working directory | 17:49 |
| TiMiDo | that it learn factoids ? | 17:49 |
| Multbrelch | yeehaw, edbian, llutz : I have now firefox but it is still in English ..... hmmmm | 17:49 |
| gigenieks | OK, this is what I got ---> http://paste.ubuntu.com/778900/ | 17:49 |
| ikonia | TiMiDo: correct | 17:49 |
| gigenieks | what now? | 17:49 |
| llutz | yeehaw: edbian http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/all/firefox-locale-it/filelist this is what the language-packs contain | 17:49 |
| TiMiDo | oh cool | 17:49 |
| gigenieks | How do I launch that software? | 17:49 |
| TiMiDo | so i can teach him stuff? or only Ubuntu members have access to the bot? | 17:49 |
| edfed | what does it mean? <edfed>hello | 17:49 |

| iceowl | gigenieks: you don't, there was a compiler error. | 17:51 |
| gigenieks | btw author says: "After you have downloaded and extracted the right Scid package for your computer (and compiled Scid if you downloaded the source code), you should have an executable file called called scid.exe in the bin/ subdirectory if you use Windows, or scid if you use Linux/Unix. Run this program to start Scid" | 17:51 |
| sina2 | hi, I have some problem in srt file. I always open it in windows, but unfortunately it's not readable in ubuntu. what do u suggest? | 17:51 |
| sina2 | my srt file( subtitle) is in farsi language | 17:51 |
| drake1 | in #linux they say it might be the "uswsusp" that sucks | 17:51 |
| Multbrelch | yeehaw, just started language support from the os : no offer to update something | 17:51 |
| gigenieks | iceowl: ahh... OK what now then? | 17:51 |
| geoffmcc | TiMiDo: i kinda cought the tail end here, but ubottu is based on supybot. Once supy bot is installed you can bzr lp:ubuntu-bots and have all the ubottu scripts and factoids | 17:51 |
| yeehaw | Multbrelch: Could you try downloading it from mozilla? as an extension? | 17:51 |
| TiMiDo | geoffmcc, i know but you can still make him learn stuff | 17:52 |

| iceowl | gigenieks: looks like you need to install TCL. so, do sudo apt-get tcl | 17:52 |
| Multbrelch | yeehaw, if I remove firefox again and reinstall it, shall I install firefox first and then firefox-language-it? | 17:52 |
| geoffmcc | TiMiDo: ok, just wanted to make sure you knew | 17:52 |
| TiMiDo | geoffmcc, yeah, but never mind is only for ops | 17:52 |
| freko28 | why can't I use sudo on Ubuntu Lucid Server? | 17:52 |
| yeehaw | Multbrelch: or togheter. apt-get install firefox firefox-language-it | 17:53 |
| genii-around | gigenieks: Might want to put the directive "install" in that command, just between apt-get and tcl | 17:53 |
| geoffmcc | TiMiDo: not sure what your saying about ops | 17:53 |
| Multbrelch | yeehaw, I will try this ... | 17:53 |
| TiMiDo | freko28, do you get any specific error while running "sudo" | 17:53 |
| freko28 | I've activated it but the root password is not good | 17:53 |
| TiMiDo | geoffmcc, that they can only teach the bot, to do stuff with out downloading the factoids | 17:53 |
| gigenieks | so 'sudo apt-get install tcl' ? | 17:53 |
| iceowl | gigenieks: you should be attempting to troubleshoot this yourself, if you hope to understand it. if a compiler throws an error message that says "x is missing", then you need to find out what x is | 17:53 |
| iceowl | gigenieks: yes | 17:54 |
| TiMiDo | gigenieks, no apt-cache search tcl8.4 | 17:54 |
| geoffmcc | TiMiDo: ah, bot operator not channel op, i get ya now | 17:54 |
| TiMiDo | and there you can see which libraries you have available in you'r system on mines i have tcl8.4 tcl8.4-dev | 17:54 |

| pogarda | hi | 17:57 |
| TiMiDo | widewake, did you install alsa by any chance,? | 17:57 |
| drake1 | could "uswsusp" eventually disable the special keys? | 17:57 |
| llutz | motafoca: you could try to login at console and stop Xorg on live-cd, "Xorg -configure" and backup the resulting xorg.conf.new file | 17:57 |
| yeehaw | geruja: Install another kernel and run atitude autoremove | 17:57 |

| yeehaw | geruja It will remove all unused packages | 17:58 |
| xangua | geruja: sounds like you enables backport updates | 17:58 |

| TiMiDo | oh | 18:03 |
| gigenieks | geoffmcc: I don't know why. Maybe you can't install it that way. Or scid in repositories is older than in that site. Also autohor didn't mention to install that way - probably have a reason I guess.... | 18:03 |

| TiMiDo | just type make | 18:08 |
| TiMiDo | and your good | 18:08 |

I dont have internet but i have a pc. The thing is that i need a ubuntu cd so that i can have full compatibility with my pc, and besides, it looks very cool! | 18:24 |
| geoffmcc | gigi87: last night i had instructed to try ppa-purge but it not avail in lucid, he needs a better way to remove the ppa and purge the packages | 18:24 |
| geoffmcc | gigi87: interestingly enough i did manage to find ppa-purge, but it claims it is in the ppa he is trying to purge | 18:25 |
| gigi87 | SunTsu, if i wanna use this which command would it be to purge everything form everything i installed from deb http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu/ lucid-getdeb apps, does the ppa still ahve to be in config | 18:25 |

| gigi87 | geoffmcc, you remember, i installed an hour ago, but it doesnt seem to work with the commands i enter | 18:26 |
| xangua | geoffmcc: gigi87 ppa-purge is not valid because getdeb is not a ppa repository | 18:26 |
| TiMiDo | pogarda, yes sudo adduser username audio that will add your user name to the audio list log out and come back and you should be available to use the device now | 18:26 |
| Josep | and SachinDey you know about any links to order free or know anyone who could help me | 18:26 |
| gigi87 | xangua , deb http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu/ lucid-getdeb apps was the ppa | 18:26 |
| geoffmcc | gigi87: there you go. looks like some more knoledgeable people are here to help now. sorry if i pointed you in wrong direction last night | 18:26 |
| xangua | gigi87: that is not a PPA, not from Launchpad | 18:27 |
| SachinDey | Josep From the menu bar Go-Computer- you'll see pendrive name right click | 18:27 |
| gigi87 | ok , xangua, so ppa-purge only works with launchpad sources? | 18:27 |
| SachinDey | Josep you can't get free order you'll have to pay shipping | 18:28 |
| geoffmcc | gigi87: but now also in my defense, you gave a little more info now | 18:28 |

| gigi87 | gigenieks, still downloading it, flasho wont work | 18:30 |
| Josep | nice thnx | 18:30 |

| geoffmcc | magni-indigo: actually its add, not new | 18:30 |
| gigi87 | yeah, geoff, i found ot config.list.save stzill contained the exact ppa so i got the name now | 18:31 |
| xangua | gigi87: what does getdeb has to do with graphics¿¿ it only adds some extra and updated packages | 18:31 |

| xangua | gigi87: like i said getdeb is not a PPA, stop confusing yourself | 18:34 |
| BooVeMan | Ic00p: ehh - /24 isn't it? | 18:34 |
| pogarda | TiMiDo, thx ill restart now brb | 18:34 |
| gigi87 | xangua, but i installed something from there after apt-get update? | 18:35 |
| Ic00p | with a /24 192.168.0.9 and 192.168.1.123 are in different subnets | 18:35 |
| BooVeMan | Ic00p: but isn't that the idea? | 18:36 |
| BooVeMan | I havea local net (.0.0) and a net which goes out to the internet (1.0) | 18:37 |
| phong_ | hi yall | 18:37 |
| === enikm4 is now known as Knight_ | ||
| BooVeMan | as my machine has2 IPs Itshouldconnect fine (as it does with telnet) but not withthe stocj mysql client | 18:38 |
| === Knight_ is now known as enikm4 | ||
| gigi87 | xangua, can you suggest sth. for my problem, the if purge wont work, try to remove visible packages in synaptic? | 18:38 |
| === enikm4 is now known as LupusNocens | ||
| DemonWitch | can i make upstart start ntp-client after network connectivity has been established? | 18:39 |
| Ic00p | did you check mysqld.conf if access is allowed for any other than localhost? | 18:39 |
| xangua | gigi87: remove them one by one sounds like the only way to go | 18:39 |
| gigenieks | gigi87: so that software didn't do the job? | 18:39 |
| gigenieks | or you haven't tried yet? | 18:39 |
| BooVeMan | Ic00p: yes its allowed | 18:39 |
| xangua | but like i said again i don't see what getdeb is related to graphic issues | 18:39 |
| xangua | gigi87: | 18:39 |
| BooVeMan | Ic00p: and as I said Icantelnet | 18:39 |
| dr_willis | DemonWitch: you should be able to.. Not sure why it wouldent be the default to do it that way. | 18:39 |
| gigi87 | gigenieks, no thx, but the video didnt help, people say the ppa i added wasnt a valid repository | 18:39 |

| llutz | BooVeMan: what error from mysql-client? | 18:40 |
| frubsi | I have a Q for an Italian Ubuntu OS: Firefox 8 <= is still in English but I want to have Italian language, tried firefox-locale-it but doesnt work | 18:41 |
| frubsi | before I was Multbrech, sry | 18:41 |
| gigenieks | gigi87: ahh ok - I don't know much about this stuff - just wondered maybe it could help you since you mentioned "PPA purge" and I remembered that video - was worth trying anyway. Maybe, just maybe, they are wrong. Seems quite useful application anyway needed now or later!! ;)) | 18:41 |
| BooVeMan | llutz: none- just sits there | 18:41 |
| gigi87 | gigenieks, i havent tried the y ppa software | 18:41 |
| mikere | Hello. I'm using 10.04 with the nvidia driver and just upgraded my video card from a 9800 gtx+ to a 550 Ti and when I boot in I get an error and a little window to attempt some changes like reconfiguring x. I reconfigure x and it still dumps me to a console, but then starting x gets me in to 800x600. Xorg.log says it's not loading "nvidia", kernel log has an error as well. Any ideas? | 18:41 |
| DemonWitch | dr_willis, ntp_client tries to start at the default runlevel | 18:41 |
| DemonWitch | when i dont have internet connectivity | 18:41 |
| BooVeMan | llutz: sometimes (just sometimes) it will connect after 10 min or so.... | 18:42 |
| xangua | frubsi: is your user session on italian also¿ | 18:42 |
| gigi87 | ay thanks maybe im gonna install thos | 18:42 |
| gigi87 | this, thx gigenoeks | 18:42 |
| mikere | The kernel error is: nvidia: probe of 0000:01:00.0 failed with error -1 | 18:42 |
| pogarda | TiMiDo, still Qtractor seems to do not tame a single note from yamaha. | 18:42 |

| Gentoo64 | pogarda, you cant install apps as normal user (which you are without sudo) sudo gives you temp admin rights | 18:50 |

| TiMiDo | or even better elena sudo usermod -aG lpadmin username | 19:14 |

| bittyx-laptop | i have problems deleting a certain directory on my external hdd. the path is something like /media/hdd/folder1/folder2/.../folder7/folder8 - when i'm in folder7 and type "rm folder8", i get "cannot remove `folder8': directory not empty", and when i go into folder8 and type "ls", i get "reading directory .: Input/output error" - is there some way to "force delete" this directory? i understand it may be corrupted or something, is there anything e | 19:24 |
| bittyx-laptop | lse i can do, save for reformatting the whole hdd? | 19:24 |
| lotuspsychje | bittyx-laptop: i had such error on nntpgrab for specific hd, i had to change dir | 19:26 |
| llutz | kiosk_dude10: according http://www.openprinting.org/printer/HP/HP-LaserJet_4200 hplip-drivers would be perfect. "sudo hp-setup -i" might also work to install those printers | 19:27 |
| TiMiDo | now even better ;) | 19:27 |

| w30 | bittyx-laptop, Is there any chance you have a samba share mounted on that directory? With smbmount or fusesmb? | 19:35 |
| mikere | vsync: can't load the nvidia driver - xorg.0.log has an error message as does kernel log | 19:35 |
| mikere | vsync_: I removed the nvidia driver and the headers and then reinstalled, reconfigured xorg to no avail. | 19:36 |
| bittyx-laptop | w30: nope - i think it's just a corrupted file or something | 19:36 |
| bittyx-laptop | w30: (though i can't seem to find a way to fix it) | 19:36 |
| vsync_ | mikere you don't even need a xorg.conf | 19:36 |

| mikere | vsync_: kern.log says: nvidia: probe of 0000:01:00.0 failed with error -1. And yes, TiMiDo I did install hte nvidia drivers as well as remove then cleanly and reinstall. But I did just upgrade my video card to 550 Ti from 9800 gtx+ | 19:39 |
| TiMiDo | Mikelevel, sudo rmmod nvidia and load it again with sudo modprobe nvidia | 19:39 |
| vsync_ | did you install them via apt or manually? | 19:39 |

| ikonia | #ubuntu-offtopic | 19:48 |
| bittyx-laptop | lotuspsychje: i have no idea what either of those are, but according to a quick google, fstab seems to be related to the partitions table on linux - i don't think that's where the problem is - this is an external hdd (formatted as NTFS), and i can't delete this particular folder at all. i've also tried deleting it from windows, and no luck there either | 19:48 |

| Star_Light | Is there some good tutorial in order to install that on my Ubuntu system? | 20:05 |
| Odaym | which applications get a directory in /var/log? | 20:05 |
| Star_Light | I have installed apache2 ,php5 and MySQL | 20:05 |
| bittyx-laptop | lotuspsychje: it may be worth mentioning that this folder where he placed all his files had around 100 thousand files, with very deep directories, with a total of ~5GB of data (ie. a LOT of tiny files), so it's probably windows that caused the corruption when copying them | 20:05 |
| Odaym | whoever requests them in the code? | 20:05 |
| ikonia | Star_Light: the tutorial / instructions on the drupal site are pretty good | 20:05 |
| Star_Light | hm | 20:06 |
| ikonia | Odaym: any that is built to log in /var/log | 20:06 |
| lotuspsychje | bittyx-laptop: if you did not tryed pysdm i would reccomend, it auto mounts all your partitions, maybe more luck to remove the file from the new arrangement | 20:06 |

| ozzloy | i'd like something that does the same thing, but with all the videos too | 20:06 |
| siddhion | I always thought that if there was a chunk of unallocated space on one's hard drive they would easily be able to expand any of their partitions. | 20:06 |
| ozzloy | placing them in folders like ~/Picutres/YYYY/MM/DD/ | 20:07 |

| Odaym | they all abide to Syslog configuration or..policy, ikonia ? meaning that they all use the Critical tag for critical logs, and all use the Warning tag for warning logs and so on? | 20:07 |
| ikonia | Odaym: only the syslog logs to the syslog | 20:07 |
| Odaym | ah, so of course it's going to categorize according to what it ..does | 20:08 |
| ikonia | Odaym: other applications log to their own log files with their own design | 20:08 |
| ikonia | Odaym: what is "it" ? | 20:08 |
| Odaym | syslog | 20:08 |
| ikonia | Odaym: it's nothing to do with sysl;og | 20:08 |
| ikonia | Odaym: only the syslog logs to the syslog | 20:08 |
| ikonia | Odaym: other application logging is nothing to do with syslog | 20:08 |
| Odaym | I see | 20:08 |
| lotuspsychje | bittyx-laptop: maybe moving all other files to another hd and reformat? | 20:08 |
| Odaym | so they don't all abide by what is here, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syslog | 20:08 |
| Odaym | because it has nothing to do with syslog | 20:09 |
| ikonia | Odaym: it's nothing to do with syslog | 20:09 |
| LjL | ikonia: uh, as far as i knew daemons can and do log to syslog | 20:09 |
| bittyx-laptop | lotuspsychje: that's my last-resort-solution - i'd prefer not to do that, if possible | 20:09 |
| ikonia | LjL: anything "can" syslog, just do "logger" for example, | 20:09 |
| ikonia | but the syslog is the only thing that writes to the syslog, the applications would write through the syslog | 20:09 |
| ikonia | and applications log to their own place in /var/log - not the syslog | 20:10 |

| ikonia | Star_Light: why would it be bad ? | 20:20 |
| chuck_ | How can I fix it? | 20:20 |
| tyler_d | sadra: what do you mean? from where? what hardware? from a button, or from the gui? when it goes to sleep? | 20:20 |
| LjL | bittyx-laptop: well have you run smartmontools on it? to see if it's faulty? | 20:20 |
| LjL | bittyx-laptop: although, external... not sure SMART will work on that :\ | 20:21 |
| Star_Light | ikonia because /var/www it is a system directory not home directory | 20:21 |
| Star_Light | ;) | 20:21 |
| bittyx-laptop | the hdd is formatted as ntfs, and i was just asking which linux tools i can use to try and fix it | 20:21 |
| ikonia | Star_Light: apache is a system process | 20:21 |
| serg1492 | chuck | 20:21 |
| LjL | bittyx-laptop: none. don't try fixing NTFS from within Linux. | 20:21 |
| szal | !ntfs | bittyx-laptop | 20:21 |
| ubottu | bittyx-laptop: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE | 20:21 |
| chuck_ | serg1492: Yes? | 20:21 |

| SunTsu | bittyx-laptop: not the best idea to fix ntfs from linux | 20:22 |
| ikonia | LjL: sanity | 20:22 |
| ikonia | LjL: you are the only other person I've seen not saying "use ntfsfix" | 20:22 |
| chuck_ | serg1492: icewm? | 20:22 |
| szal | bittyx-laptop: do you have write access? | 20:22 |
| LjL | ikonia: heh | 20:22 |
| Star_Light | ikonia I say that because some tutorials on internet they write that you should change your directory in order to put into the drupal programm.... for security purposes | 20:22 |
| ikonia | Star_Light: you can put it where you want, it's fine | 20:22 |
| SunTsu | bittyx-laptop: there are ways, but normally it's best to fix a fswith the os it's native to | 20:23 |
| bittyx-laptop | LjL: thanks for the honest advice; i've connected it to a windows system now and scanned it, and it seems to be fixed | 20:23 |

| sadra | tyler_d: from iran | 20:25 |
| lotuspsychje | nite nite to all | 20:25 |
| blackbox | what ? | 20:25 |
| tyler_d | chuck_: sorry about that chuck, appears that a dependancy is broken. the real question is why are you installing gnome-desktop? did you have something else on here like kubuntu? | 20:25 |
| SunTsu | chuck_: looks strange, tried it again after updating your package info? | 20:25 |
| TiMiDo | refer it to #xml for xml questions this is #ubuntu | 20:25 |
| blackbox | O you want me to join #xml | 20:25 |
| tyler_d | sadra: no I meant, are you doing it from the panel or trying to use a button on the laptop? | 20:26 |
| TiMiDo | or google your issue | 20:26 |
| chuck_ | tyler_d: No, I'm running Ubuntu, why? | 20:26 |
| sadra | tyler_d: Fn+ left or right key | 20:27 |
| chuck_ | sunTsu: How to update my package info? | 20:27 |
| TiMiDo | chuck_, sudo apt-get update | 20:27 |
| tyler_d | chuck_: so why are you trying to install a gnome-desktop env if you are already running gnome? | 20:27 |
| SunTsu | chuck_: there should be a button in softwarecenter or what TiMiDo just wrote | 20:27 |
| redf1sh | Hi, I'm having an issue with my mouse cursor constantly flickering or disappearing, happens both in kde and unity. Anyone run into this? | 20:27 |
| tyler_d | sadra: does it work from the panel when you adjust it? or alternately when you unplug it? | 20:28 |
| chuck_ | tyler_d: I want the beautiful black panel with nice boubles for popups | 20:28 |
| tyler_d | chuck_: what version of ubuntu are you currently running? | 20:28 |
| redf1sh | I've tried bumping the kernel version up to 3.2-rc6 to no avail, not sure where else to poke. | 20:29 |
| chuck_ | tyler_d: 11.10 | 20:29 |
| TiMiDo | Nice testing | 20:29 |
| chuck_ | SunTsu: Didn't work anyways | 20:29 |
| TiMiDo | chuck_, 11.10 is buggy | 20:29 |
| tyler_d | chuck_: so there is a diff reason that you don't have unity 3d, and I can almost certainly say its not that package.... I would say its possibly your video drivers in use | 20:29 |
| tyler_d | chuck_: how did you reach the conclusion to try and install that package? | 20:30 |
| chuck_ | tyler_d: http://www.gnome.org/getting-gnome/ | 20:30 |
| tyler_d | chuck_: did your logs tell you something that directed you there or was it kind of a leap of faith? | 20:31 |
| chuck_ | tyler_d: Nah, I was just surfing around, looking for a way to get my desktop in style... | 20:32 |
| ojii | is the shell stdout logged somewhere? | 20:32 |
| chuck_ | tyler_d: How do I get my desktop more like this: http://www.gnome.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/media.png than? | 20:32 |
| sadra | tyler_d: I push the buttons that are not high or low light or less light, but the notification area monitor is shown | 20:32 |
| tyler_d | chuck_: then I would most certainly recommend that you read more on unity 3d and troubleshoot that. | 20:32 |
| TiMiDo | it depends on the stdout your asking about you have stdout for programs other daemons and such, | 20:32 |
| chuck_ | tyler_d: What is unity 3d..? | 20:33 |
| sadra | tyler_d: The light is low and does not monitor the maximum | 20:33 |
| sadra | tyler_d: The monitor light is the highest and low-light monitor is not . | 20:34 |
| ojii | TiMiDo, in this case, i did `pip freeze` earlier and want to see it again so i can shed some light on a bug i found in ubuntuone-couch | 20:34 |
| ojii | TiMiDo, an i can't reproduce it since i unfortunately already changed it | 20:34 |

| newubuntuuser | TiMiDo, I am confused. that hardware drivers window is supposed to tell me what driver to install, yet it remains empty. probably i can do it manually using apt-get install, but i don't know the package name for the driver for my video card | 21:30 |

| tommylommykins | What's the official way to remove old kernels from Disk? | 22:06 |
| rumpe1 | tommylommykins, removing them using package managers | 22:07 |
| basic` | urlin2u, how does that work? | 22:07 |
| basic` | urlin2u, will it do that for each apt run? | 22:07 |
| rumpe1 | tommylommykins, just like regular deinstallations | 22:07 |
| tommylommykins | rumpe1: There is no tool to automate the process? With package managers, I have to manually choose the kernels to remove.... | 22:07 |
| urlin2u | basic`, look in software sources first page | 22:07 |
| rumpe1 | tommylommykins, the questions is, what strategy has the greater advantage/risk. | 22:08 |
| tommylommykins | I dunno | 22:09 |
| basic` | urlin2u, not seeing this - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu ? | 22:09 |
| tommylommykins | I'd rather have some official script do it for me.. | 22:09 |
| tommylommykins | rather than forcing myself to go messing around with the Kernel, which I do not know much about | 22:09 |
| * tommylommykins does not feel qualified to perform this operation himself... | 22:09 | |
| rumpe1 | tommylommykins, grub2 puts them in sub-menus so they don't really bother. And they are not extremely huge in size. | 22:09 |
| urlin2u | basic`, what is your final goal here? | 22:10 |
| tommylommykins | rumpe1: IIRC, this is a feature of 11.10? | 22:10 |
| tommylommykins | hmm | 22:10 |
| tommylommykins | on that subject | 22:10 |
| basic` | urlin2u, say we have an infrastructure built on ec2 | 22:10 |
| tommylommykins | is 11.10 still broken with FGLRX? | 22:10 |
| basic` | and we're maintaining multiple repos in different regions | 22:10 |
| basic` | if one of them fails (because it's ec2), we would like to fail to another in the list | 22:10 |
| urlin2u | basic`, all the repositories are synced | 22:11 |
| basic` | ? | 22:11 |
| w30 | tommylommykins, I like to use Synaptic to remove them because it will update grub to not list kernels you have deleted | 22:11 |

| basic` | end goal: we have 3 mirrors of the apt repository, and need to fail between them if one goes offline | 22:12 |

| urlin2u | basepi, all the ubuntu repo's are synced if you have a 3rd party then the ubuntu's aren't involved. I'm not sure I understand your nor can really help. | 22:12 |

| tbruff13 | hey can someone do me a favor | 22:12 |
| w30 | tommylommykins, just look at the last numbers in your obsolete kernels and find the matching synaptic one | 22:13 |
| tommylommykins | w30: That's only half the story. What packages do I remove, what if I accidentally remove all kernels? | 22:13 |
| basepi | tbruff13: better off just asking, and seeing it people know the answer. | 22:13 |
| urlin2u | w30, synaptic doesn't update grub when you remove a kernel I believe | 22:13 |
| basepi | if* | 22:13 |
| tommylommykins | w30: That still doesn't specify the packages I need to nuke in any way | 22:13 |
| dmorrison42 | How do I find the file or folder a soft link points to? | 22:13 |
| tbruff13 | basepi: i cannot connect to the linux mint irc with mibbit and xchat | 22:13 |
| tbruff13 | can someone try to connect | 22:14 |
| * tommylommykins doubts searching for the last two digits in synaptic will invariably lead to the correct packages to remove | 22:14 | |
| propman | tbruff13: it's down again | 22:14 |
| w30 | urlin2u, mine does if I use Synaptic unless thinks have changed in the last couple of months | 22:14 |
| tbruff13 | propman: what do you mean down | 22:14 |
| tbruff13 | what can we do to bring it back up | 22:14 |
| tommylommykins | ...Does anyone know if ubuntu 11.10 is still broken with FGLRX? | 22:14 |
| rumpe1 | dmorrison42, use "ls -l" or "file" | 22:14 |
| tbruff13 | tommylommykins: it is broken in mint still | 22:15 |
| propman | tbruff13: off-line. nothing it will come back up on it's own once they fix the problem | 22:15 |
| tbruff13 | so i assume it is broke in ubuntu | 22:15 |
| auronandace | tommylommykins: are you sure that its ubuntu thats broken and not fglrx? | 22:15 |
| w30 | tommylommykins, just put kernel in seardh and then look for packages with the matching kernel ending numbers | 22:15 |
| tommylommykins | D: | 22:15 |
| tbruff13 | propman: why do they not use freenode | 22:15 |
| w30 | search | 22:15 |
| tommylommykins | auronandace: I don't care. I will use 11.10 if it works on my machine :) | 22:15 |

| ikonia | rockband: I don't that | 22:19 |
| tommylommykins | ikonia: I searched for "kernel". It returned results on the order of hundreds. It is not immediately obvious what I need to remove. | 22:19 |
| urlin2u | duli, wubi is installed from windows. | 22:19 |
| ikonia | tommylommykins: linux-image | 22:19 |
| tommylommykins | Do I need to remove linux-headers and linux-image packages for each old version? | 22:20 |
| tommylommykins | And absolutely nothing else? | 22:20 |
| TalonLite | Why can't I access Shell Theme drop down menu in Gnome Tweak Tool for 11.10? | 22:20 |
| ikonia | tommylommykins: just linux-image-$version | 22:20 |
| urlin2u | tommylommykins, you can use ubuntu tweak to remove kernels as well. | 22:20 |
| tommylommykins | so linux-headers must stay? | 22:20 |
| ikonia | tommylommykins: I'd leave them yes | 22:20 |
| duli | urlin2u: no no… Ubuntu is already installed on this netbook. It does not have a cd drive. | 22:20 |
| duli | Which is why I´m avoiding the livecd solution | 22:20 |
| tommylommykins | OK | 22:21 |
| w30 | tommylommykins, leave the kernel packages alone that don't have your complete obsolete kernel on them | 22:21 |
| tommylommykins | duli: Memtest on a bootable USB stick? | 22:21 |
| duli | I think I´ll have to create a USB bootable | 22:21 |
| tommylommykins | w30: I did not understand your last line | 22:21 |
| urlin2u | duli, cool I assume installed means you booted a thumb drive and installed that way not from windows. So is your problem a full hard drive? | 22:21 |
| TalonLite | USB Bootable's work for my netbooks. | 22:21 |
| duli | I was kind of hoping ubuntu gave me the option to start memtest on boot time... | 22:21 |
| ikonia | duli: it does | 22:21 |
| tommylommykins | How do I know what has a "complete obsolete Kernel" and what has a "not-complete obsolete Kernel"? | 22:22 |
| xangua | tommylommykins: or just don't, why do you want to remove them¿ | 22:22 |
| duli | ikonia: How do I get into it? Esc didn´t work at boot time | 22:22 |
| ikonia | duli: it's shift, not escape | 22:22 |
| tommylommykins | xangua: They clutter grub. | 22:22 |
| w30 | tommylommykins, the kernel header packages and kernel packages to remove will have your complete obsolete kernel numbers in their name | 22:22 |
| duli | ikonia: oh, god, tks, let me try... | 22:22 |
| html | NO_PUBKEY 8C851674F96FD737 | 22:23 |
| w30 | tommylommykins, there is some packages that are general in name; leave them there. | 22:23 |
| xangua | tommylommykins: clutter¿ do they mix so hard that you don't know what kernel to start¿ | 22:23 |
| urlin2u | duli, sorry about that I remove the memory test I forgot it was there in the grub menu. | 22:23 |

| emhs | I discovered this fact while trying to put openssh-server on it. | 22:26 |

| urlin2u | tommylommykins, get the 0.5 version the beta is a bit not finished. http://ubuntu-tweak.com/ | 22:27 |
| who_me | Gorilla_No_Baka: it looks bad, can barely make out the text | 22:28 |
| ikonia | don't use ubuntu-tweak | 22:28 |
| urlin2u | w30, the tweak has a ppa and can also just be installed look at above link. | 22:28 |
| tommylommykins | ikonia: Why? | 22:28 |
| Gorilla_No_Baka | ikonia: ubuntu tweak does not do that | 22:28 |
| Gorilla_No_Baka | can't do that | 22:28 |
| Gorilla_No_Baka | i did it | 22:28 |
| ikonia | tommylommykins: because it's bad tool | 22:28 |
| Gorilla_No_Baka | and if you wanna make out the text clik ion the picture in order to see the full size :) | 22:28 |

| tommylommykins | is there *any official documentation* the describes the process for removing old Kernels | 22:29 |
| ikonia | tommylommykins: what part is not clear | 22:29 |
| * tommylommykins feels like he is getting a lot of conflicting information here | 22:29 | |
| ikonia | tommylommykins: open the package manager, find the kernel, click remove | 22:29 |
| ikonia | don't understand why that is a complex process | 22:29 |
| auronandace | tommylommykins: you've been told clearly what to do | 22:29 |
| urlin2u | tommylommykins, not a bad tool just some are purists. | 22:30 |
| ikonia | it is a bad tool | 22:30 |
| tommylommykins | auronandace: I agree, I think the method through synaptic has been explained | 22:30 |
| Gorilla_No_Baka | ubuntu tweak sucks balls.. nicely put | 22:30 |
| urlin2u | ikonia, can you identify why it is bad | 22:30 |
| ikonia | Gorilla_No_Baka: tone it down | 22:30 |
| Gorilla_No_Baka | all it does is to work on gsettings | 22:30 |
| auronandace | tommylommykins: then go for it | 22:30 |
| tommylommykins | In the interest of reliability, it would be nice to have some official webpage | 22:31 |
| ikonia | tommylommykins: why ? | 22:31 |
| DeltaEpsilon | 23:31:12 up 15:42, 1 user, load average: 0.88, 0.62, 0.40 | 22:31 |
| ikonia | urlin2u: yes, it's just scripted interaction, it's not solid in how it deals with this, and there is nothing it does that can't be done easy with official ubuntu tools | 22:31 |
| tommylommykins | such that the actions can be reviewed and confirmed to be correct | 22:31 |
| ikonia | tommylommykins: the kernel is a package, you remove what you don't want, there is no need for a website for that | 22:31 |
| tommylommykins | This cannot happen in IRC discussions | 22:31 |
| ikonia | tommylommykins: you want to remove apache, open the package manager, remove apache, you want to remove a kernel, open the package manager, remove the kernel | 22:31 |
| ikonia | tommylommykins: if you need a website explaining how to remove the kernel package, you shouldn't do it, you should allow ubuntu to manage your kernels | 22:32 |
| Gorilla_No_Baka | tommylommykins: sudo apt-get install synaptic and remover each and every package that bothers you | 22:32 |
| tommylommykins | ikonia: I think it's reasonable that I do not trust myself in doing something that I have never done before. | 22:32 |
| urlin2u | ikonia, yes it is scripted, I use it on occasion, and sincve it has been out I have never had a problem, in this case where a person is learning how to remove kernels which can brick your setup it seems like a good tool to learn from rather then bricking your OS. | 22:32 |
| ikonia | tommylommykins: have you ever removed a package before ? | 22:32 |
| tommylommykins | ikonia: Sure, but never a kernel. I did not know how to map from the kernel-entry in grub that I wanted to remove to the package in synaptic | 22:33 |
| tommylommykins | For example, how am I supposed to know that the correct process is to leave the "headers" package? | 22:34 |
| tommylommykins | You cannot derive that from seeing the grub entry. | 22:34 |
| ikonia | tommylommykins: the kernel has a version, eg: 3.1.2-3 - the kernel packge has a version, eg: linux-image-3.1.2-3 not the hardest thing to map | 22:34 |
| ikonia | tommylommykins: you don't remove the headers | 22:34 |
| CarlFK | I need a tool to lay out rooms, like the room is 8'x12', the desk is 5'x2', chair goes here... any suggestions on what app will make that easy? | 22:34 |
| ThePendulum | Greetings | 22:34 |
| ikonia | CarlFK: there is a room design tool, someone mentioned this weeks ago, I don't know what it's called | 22:34 |
| tommylommykins | ikonia: How am I supposed to know that? I have learned that the correct process is to remove the kernel to remove the entry in grub... | 22:34 |
| ThePendulum | I just got a new mouse and it's scrollspeed is unusable fast in Ubuntu. Any way to fix this? | 22:35 |
| tommylommykins | but how do I know that the "headers" package is not the kernel? | 22:35 |
| arnotixe | Hi is there a way to "Install openssh-server and start it on next boot"? | 22:35 |
| ikonia | tommylommykins: the process is NOT to remove the entry in grub | 22:35 |
| ikonia | tommylommykins: forget the headers, they are nothing to do with your running kernel | 22:35 |
| CarlFK | ikonia: suggesions on what I should grep the logs for? | 22:35 |
| ikonia | alex__: it does it already | 22:35 |
| html | W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/shnatsel/zram/ubuntu/dists/maverick/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found | 22:35 |
| tommylommykins | And how do I know that the "image" package is the correct package to remove | 22:35 |
| ikonia | CarlFK: thinking.... | 22:35 |
| arnotixe | I thought maybe creating a script and put it into /etc/rc2.d/ but I wonder if there's a smarter method? | 22:35 |
| sskalnik | tommylommykins: headers != kernel, two different things | 22:35 |
| tommylommykins | ikonia: Removing the entry in grub is my goal. | 22:35 |
| Spec | tommylommykins: the headers are the ..uhh, kernel headers. | 22:35 |
| Spec | tommylommykins: not the kernel. | 22:35 |
| ikonia | tommylommykins: I've just told you how to work it out | 22:35 |
| Spec | tommylommykins: you could always manually remove the entries from teh grub configuration file. | 22:35 |
| xangua | html: that ppa doesn't have packages for your ubuntu version | 22:36 |
| Spec | or just remove the kernels (-image-) you don't use. | 22:36 |
| ikonia | tommylommykins: kernel version = 1.1.1.1, package version = linux-image-1.1.1.1 | 22:36 |
| alex__ | ikonia what? :D | 22:36 |
| CarlFK | ikonia: swell my logs are full of "entered the room." ;/ | 22:36 |
| tommylommykins | ikonia: Sure, but it's a dangerous task, and there is no official walkthrough... To me, that is wrong :s | 22:36 |
| OerHeks | tommylommykins, synaptic will give an error, if you delete too many kernel packages :-) | 22:36 |
| Spec | tommylommykins: it's really not dangerous, just don't delete the kernel you're using. | 22:36 |
| sskalnik | tommylommykins: You just need to remove the linus-image-blahblahblah package via Synaptic for the kernels you want to remove. | 22:36 |
| ikonia | tommylommykins: if you cannot work out that running kernel version = linux-image-$running-version after being told 3 times, you should not do this | 22:36 |
| tommylommykins | Spec: I'm a noob. What if I get it wrong and I delete all kernels? | 22:36 |
| sskalnik | tommylommykins: It is as un-dangerous as it can be. Much better than trying to do it manually. | 22:36 |
| Spec | tommylommykins: don't do that. | 22:36 |
| tommylommykins | Spec: Sure, but generally you should defend against people accidentally doing stupid things? | 22:37 |
| ikonia | tommylommykins: do you know the kernel version you want to remove, yes/no | 22:37 |
| Spec | tommylommykins: that sounds like a windows mentality | 22:37 |
| sskalnik | tommylommykins: Just don't remove the latest one or whichever one you want to use. | 22:37 |
| Spec | I'd rather have FULL POWAAAA | 22:37 |
| Spec | tommylommykins: what if you wanted to Delete. All. The. Kernels? You should be able to, right? | 22:37 |
| tommylommykins | Spec: It's a common sense mentality. Especially with regard to things that are irreversible. | 22:37 |
| sskalnik | tommylommykins: It can't eally get any more simple or foolproof. If you are messing with kernels, it is assumed you have a reason to do so, and thus have an idea of what you are doing. | 22:38 |
| Spec | tommylommykins: it's just bits on a disk, everything's reversible. | 22:38 |
| ikonia | tommylommykins: do you know the kernel version you want to remove, yes/no | 22:38 |
| sskalnik | tommylommykins: it is quite reversible. | 22:38 |
| OerHeks | Spec, try to delete all, you can't .. synaptic will tell you :-D | 22:38 |
| tommylommykins | sskalnik: I have reason to because I want to make my boot menu clear. Otherwise I do not want to know anything about the Kernel | 22:38 |
| Spec | synaptic? lawl | 22:39 |
| ikonia | tommylommykins: do you know the kernel version you want to remove, yes/no | 22:39 |
| tommylommykins | ikonia: I do know, The process has been explained. That is no longer the issue under discussion | 22:39 |
| sskalnik | tommylommykins: OK then. Just remove all the kernels aside from the one you are using. | 22:39 |
| ikonia | tommylommykins: then what are you complaining about ? | 22:39 |
| sskalnik | tommylommykins: sounds like you're good then. ;) | 22:39 |
| tommylommykins | ikonia: The fact that there is no official method for removing old kernels, and the danger of getting it wrong | 22:40 |
| sskalnik | tommylommykins: What you have been told *is* an official method. | 22:40 |
| arnotixe | tommylommykins, try Ctrl+Alt+T to open a terminal, then uname -r in the terminal. This is your running kernel. Then compare that to ls /boot/ | 22:40 |
| ikonia | tommylommykins: there is an official method, you remove the packages you don't want | 22:40 |
| ady | hello there; i'm having a small problem with Ubuntu 11.10 and Gnome; it is ok to ask about it here ? | 22:40 |

| ady | so, my problem is this - how do i make the interface 3d ? with gnome ? it is possible or i've understood something wrong ? | 22:41 |
| tommylommykins | Can you understand that I am suspicious when i see a post on "joe's-blog" about how to do this? | 22:41 |
| tommylommykins | Considering it's software essential to my operating system | 22:41 |
| Cube`` | guys, i have a problem. i have added myself and a few other people to a group. i have taken a folder, done sudo chown cube:group folder/, then sudo chmod 770 folder/ -R, but still only the owner can access the folder via cd! what am i doing wrong? | 22:41 |
| sskalnik | tommylommykins: This info is just a google away. It is also on the official forums. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1587462 | 22:41 |
| Spec | tommylommykins: Now I'm not saying this is supported, or a good idea.... | 22:41 |
| tommylommykins | I want an official method to perform this operation | 22:41 |
| Spec | for i in $(dpkg -l |grep -i linux-image-2|awk {'print $2'}); do if [ "linux-image-$(uname -r)" != "$i" ]; then echo Removing $i; echo apt-get remove $i; fi; done | 22:42 |
| Spec | but that'll get rid of all the kernels you're not currently using :D | 22:42 |
| ikonia | tommylommykins: if you are not confident removing a package, don't do it | 22:42 |
| Spec | (if you remove the "echo" in front of "apt-get" | 22:42 |
| ikonia | tommylommykins: you are not going to get a more official way than what you have been told in this channel | 22:42 |
| tommylommykins | Sure, that's why I want something official. I don't want to risk getting it wrong | 22:42 |
| Spec | tommylommykins: I think "official" response is: If you don't know much about kernels, don't touch it. | 22:42 |
| EvilResistance | ^ that | 22:42 |
| Spec | tommylommykins: perhaps you should file a bug/feature request to clean up old kernels ? | 22:42 |
| aeon-ltd | ady: its not gnome alone, you'll need something called compiz to do 3d effects or unity (though i think unity should be the default with effects on) | 22:42 |
| ikonia | tommylommykins: you've had your official reponse from this channel | 22:42 |
| Tech-1 | ^] | 22:42 |
| arnotixe | tommylommykins, if you're unsure if you're actually running the latest kernel you've installed, you should reboot, and then do as Spec says above. It's a cool one-liner. But it would be safer if you knew what you're doing :D | 22:42 |
| tommylommykins | Spec: In that case, how am I supposed to unclutter the grub menu? | 22:42 |
| sskalnik | tommylommykins: You have been told several times what the official method is, and that it will work. Not sure what you could ask for on top of that. | 22:42 |
| Spec | tommylommykins: you could run the one-liner-of-doom i gave you | 22:43 |
| Spec | tommylommykins: but, apologies in advance if it destroys your system :( | 22:43 |
| tommylommykins | Spec: What reason do I have to trust it? | 22:43 |
| sskalnik | tommylommykins: Read the link I posted; it shows multiple methods from the official forums. | 22:43 |
| Spec | tommylommykins: 'cause i wrote it | 22:43 |
| ikonia | tommylommykins: don't trust it, but if you are going to ask for help and ignore it - stop asking | 22:43 |
| Spec | tommylommykins: I would do this: open synaptic, go down the list, and for every kernel whose version DOES NOT match "uname -r", as typed in a terminal, remove that package (linux-image-version/etc) | 22:43 |
| ady | aeon-ltd, i've installed Gnome from software center, i have Ubuntu 11.10, do i need to install this 'compiz' ? | 22:44 |
| Spec | tommylommykins: ie; the manual method of doing what my one-liner does | 22:44 |
| arnotixe | but tommylommykins has a point here - I once had a /boot/ _partition_ and it went full. My bad, I know, But after MANY updates the boot partition was full and updates stopped working. I had to figure out how to remove the correct packages manually... | 22:44 |
| tommylommykins | I have not ignored it, I guess atm, I'm stating my dissatisfaction at the method in which I have recieved it | 22:44 |
| EvilResistance | tommylommykins: if you dont know what you're doing with kernels, dont mess with them, just let them autoinstall, and then reboot and it should use the latest. Also, the link to how to do it that exists on ubuntuforums.org is an official site for support. | 22:44 |
| EvilResistance | tommylommykins: i dont think the expression of dissatisfaction goes in here :/ | 22:44 |
| Spec | tommylommykins: Totally understandable, and there SHOULD be a method for people such as you. I would recommend opening a ticket -- the fact is, there exist no current method. | 22:44 |
| xangua | ady: gnome is already on ubuntu, you mean gnome shell¿¿ | 22:44 |
| ikonia | tommylommykins: dissatisfaction noted, but it won't change that that is the best method | 22:44 |
| sskalnik | tommylommykins: This is not the complaint dept. You have been given what you asked for. What do you want us to *do* nect? | 22:44 |
| ThePendulum | Does anyone know how to change scroll speed in Ubuntu (11.04)? | 22:44 |

| Spec | tommylommykins: I mean, you should definitely add the suggestion in ubuntu bug tracker. I wonder if it would be reasonable to have a post-install script in kernel packages to remove kernels over 5 revisions old, but that has a bunch of implications. | 22:45 |
| sskalnik | tommylommykins: Sounds like a good plan. Any of those methods will work for you, so you should be good. If not, please let us know. | 22:45 |

| ady | don't know how to use !pastebin | 22:55 |
| sskalnik | ady: copy the output from your screen to http://paste.ubuntu.com | 22:55 |

| geruja | EvilResistance: is it ok that it says ~100mb will be removed but when i was installing it asked for 200mb free space? | 22:57 |
| sskalnik | ady: Yes, got it | 22:57 |
| ady | :) huh, finaly | 22:57 |
| sskalnik | ady: What is your question? | 22:57 |
| ady | sskalnik, if i can use the 3D desktop with this software | 22:58 |
| euthymos | ubuntu install fails because of an "I/O error" involving the hard drive or the CD-ROM drive. I've been testing the hard disk for hours, and it seems good. How can I test the CD-ROM drive and/or media? | 22:58 |
| ady | i don't know if i have Unity or smth; i just know i have Ubuntu 11.10 | 22:58 |
| sskalnik | euthymos: When you boot from the CD, select 'test CD for errors' | 22:58 |
| EvilResistance | geruja: no clue, i never have to deal with lack of space *points at the 4x1TB RAID array in his system* | 22:59 |
| EvilResistance | geruja: it might be OK, it might not | 22:59 |
| Stepnjump | Spec, here is what it says: Could not find "/~/Desktop". | 22:59 |
| taher | hi there | 22:59 |
| sskalnik | ady: If it is a default ubuntu install of 11.10, you have Unity. | 22:59 |
| Spec | Stepnjump: for the shortcut, put the full path: nautilus /home/username/Documents/folder | 23:00 |
| sskalnik | ady: If there are icons all along the left side of the screen, it's probably unity | 23:00 |
| ady | sskalnik, is as default as it possible can be; i'm kind of zero on Linux | 23:00 |
| sskalnik | ady: That's cool, we've all been there. The default is unity. | 23:00 |
| taher | i want to install flash , mp3 codecs, and others on kubuntu ......how? | 23:00 |
| ady | sskalnik, yes, i have icons on the left of the screen (launch bar or smth i think is called) | 23:00 |
| sskalnik | ady: Yep, that's Unity | 23:01 |
| ady | sskalnik, so, any possibility to install the 3D desktop ? | 23:01 |
| sskalnik | ady: Not sure what you mean | 23:01 |
| ady | sskalnik, i've hearded about some Gnome and 3D | 23:01 |
| edbian | When using unity and compiz (unity 3d) the unity bar often gets covered by whatever application is fullscreen. How can I fix this? | 23:01 |
| geruja | EvilResistance: i had bcmwl-kernel-source package error, but when removed that new version it's gone so at least it worked, but it's strange where 100mb dissapeared thanks | 23:02 |
| ady | sskalnik, and i've installed some Gnome - but it works only 2D (or doesn't know how to tell it to be 3D) | 23:02 |
| Stepnjump | Ok Spec, I just got it.... | 23:02 |
| Stepnjump | it's the full path minus the leading / | 23:02 |
| myk_robinson | anybody else having difficulty burning data discs in Brasero? Audio does fine, data makes coasters... | 23:02 |
| xangua | edbian: you mean, it autohides¿ | 23:02 |
| Stepnjump | home/username/Documents/folder... thanks! Spec | 23:02 |
| Spec | Stepnjump: ah, i didn't know nautilus filled in the first slashy | 23:03 |
| master_of_master | hi, I have a problem booting my PC, when the DVD drive gets "loaded" the boot process halts | 23:03 |
| sskalnik | ady: Someone else may need to answer that; I'm usually at a command line or a plain desktop myself. | 23:03 |
| Spec | Stepnjump: Oh, I think it must run from pwd=/ when it's called via the shortcut. | 23:03 |
| ady | ok sskalnik thanks for your patience | 23:03 |
| taher | i want to install flash , mp3 codecs, and others on kubuntu ......how? | 23:03 |
| edbian | xangua, I think it's auto-hidden. I can't tell if it's hiding or if it's just covered by the open app. Problem is I can't get to it again except to minimize all applications | 23:04 |
| sskalnik | ady: No prob, welcome to Ubuntu ;) | 23:04 |
| ady | sskalnik, thanks :) | 23:04 |
| edbian | xangua, sometimes it sort of fixes itself. Ever heard of anything like this before? | 23:04 |

| xangua | edbian: i don't use unity for now, but i know you can configure it's behavior with the unity plugin wia compiz setting manager | 23:05 |
| Stepnjump | sorry, you are loosing me with pwd=/ Spec | 23:05 |
| taher | thanQ | 23:05 |
| xangua | taher: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras | 23:05 |

| CarlFK | ikonia: as cool as it is, I am going back to dia - sweethome isn't a good fit for what I am doing, like connecing stuff with wires that need to follow the device if I move it | 23:07 |
| CarlFK | and I have used dia enough that I have some level of confidance | 23:08 |
| ady | good night people, maybe i found my answer some other time :) | 23:08 |
| w30 | ady, to get 3d Unity you must have a capable video driver working, if your driver or video card doesn't support 3d then you get 2d. If your card supports 3d then try to install a correct driver with jockey-gtk or jockey-kde, | 23:08 |

| edbian | TalonLite, ubuntu is installed? Can you boot it at all? | 23:24 |
| Mrcasy | is this the help channel for Ubuntu 10.11 | 23:24 |
| edbian | Mrcasy, yes | 23:24 |

| === derp is now known as derp|shopping | ||
| EvilResistance | Mrcasy: you mean 11.10? ;P | 23:25 |
| Mrcasy | i dont seem to like gnome3 so i am still running 10.11 | 23:25 |

| dgvr | I need to run 1 common mail server with plus a new unique instance of a B2B system and a content management server for each client ... | 23:25 |
| TalonLite | "Starting Automatic Crash Report Generator" [Fail] | 23:25 |
| EvilResistance | Mrcasy: there is no 10.11 release | 23:25 |
| edbian | Mrcasy, 11.10 | 23:25 |
| dgvr | Which is better .... Option A: 1 Server with all applications on it and 1 IP address or Option B: multiple servers with multiple IP addresses? | 23:25 |
| ikonia | dgvr: depends on many things, you'll need to give contect | 23:25 |
| TalonLite | Yes, It's installed and I've been using it for weeks now. | 23:25 |
| EvilResistance | Mrcasy: there's 10.04, 10.10 (already past end of life), 11.04, 11.10, etc. | 23:25 |
| pp7 | dgvr: question needs more detail for an answer | 23:25 |
| TalonLite | edbian: Now, It just stopped working after a restart. | 23:25 |
| Mrcasy | this is linux ultimate | 23:25 |
| edbian | TalonLite, now? | 23:26 |
| ikonia | Mrcasy: then it's not ubuntu | 23:26 |
| TalonLite | Yes as we speak. | 23:26 |
| edbian | TalonLite, can you boot ubuntu? | 23:26 |
| dgvr | We're setting up a Accounting System over internet for SMB's .. | 23:26 |
| ikonia | dgvr: I think if you can't work out that level of design - you need to hire someone who can | 23:26 |
| dgvr | Each client needs access to their own instance of the accounting software and content management software | 23:26 |
| ikonia | dgvr: that is a fundemental / basic principal of architecture design | 23:26 |
| TalonLite | Im in the grub, as in I booted system. | 23:26 |
| Taffflash | hi guys | 23:27 |
| TalonLite | then it hangs at "Starting Automatic Crash Report Generator" [FAIL] | 23:27 |
| Taffflash | what version is without unity? | 23:27 |
| TalonLite | So I hit alt+F2 and joined the irc. | 23:27 |
| Mrcasy | how do i tell what version it is | 23:27 |
| histo | Mrcasy: cat /etc/issue | 23:27 |
| edbian | TalonLite, that's not grub that's ubuntu booting and you logging in but graphics not working | 23:28 |
| dgvr | we're considering multiple OpenVZ or LXC containers on 1 server | 23:28 |
| edbian | TalonLite, Can you run 'startx' ? without quotes? | 23:28 |
| TalonLite | That's what i meant i guess | 23:28 |
| TalonLite | I tried already | 23:28 |
| dgvr | but want some feedback from others | 23:28 |
| Mrcasy | ok here it is Ubuntu 10.10 \n \l | 23:28 |
| edbian | TalonLite, what happens? | 23:28 |
| ikonia | dgvr: this isn't an ubuntu issue - you need to hire someone who understand technical arcitecture design | 23:28 |
| TalonLite | Error, No Screens found | 23:28 |
| tray76 | any version Taffflash. Just install gnome-shell | 23:28 |
| dgvr | thanks ikonia ... | 23:29 |
| dgvr | anyone else? | 23:29 |
| pp7 | Mrcasy: what the hell is Linux Ultimate? Dont tell me that's the name of a distro | 23:29 |
| EvilResistance | dgvr: its not an ubuntu support issue, ikonia is right. | 23:29 |

| TalonLite | Installing now | 23:31 |
| edbian | TalonLite, do you have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? | 23:31 |
| edbian | TalonLite, It's just a CLI web browser. Forget it | 23:31 |
| Mrcasy | i been running linux mint for past several months and seen this and had to install it | 23:31 |
| TalonLite | Yeah, it's reading the xorg | 23:32 |
| edbian | TalonLite, remove you /etc/X11/xorg.conf change it to /etc/X11/xorg.bak.conf or something | 23:32 |
| TalonLite | quick command to change it? | 23:33 |
| edbian | TalonLite, sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.bak.conf | 23:33 |
| TalonLite | I did a backup like yesterday, so replacing it with the backup should work. I just forget the command off hand. | 23:33 |
| edbian | TalonLite, the command I gave just renames the file | 23:34 |
| edbian | TalonLite, after you've run that try to startx again | 23:34 |
| TalonLite | edbian: It's saying that there is no such directory when trying to change the name | 23:35 |
| edbian | TalonLite, hang on... | 23:35 |
| clay- | Can anyone tell me which of these would be more happy with ubuntu? Dynex DX-PCIGB or Netgear GA311 | 23:36 |
| edbian | TalonLite, make sure you're typing it the same as me /etc/X11/xorg.conf (capital X in X11, and those are 1's not l's) | 23:36 |
| edbian | TalonLite, I am sure of the names and I have typed it correctly to you | 23:36 |
| TalonLite | I know, and I did. | 23:36 |
