[00:03] <gplikespie> Ah well, Guess I will come back later
[00:03] <rectec> search around, gplikespie
[00:03] <joallard> Using Ubuntu and Linux is so much extremely frustrating sometimes
[00:03] <gao> guys is it strange for a restart to take 30 minutes after installing oneiric?
[00:03] <joallard> gao: yes it is
[00:03] <rectec> gao: si
[00:03] <lalagirl> it's odd how someone tried to trick you on here… i thought people would be nicer….
[00:03] <gplikespie> Welcome to the internet
[00:03] <eXpander> thanks
[00:03] <gplikespie> how may I scam you
[00:04] <eXpander> Am
[00:04] <lalagirl> r000t told me to put this in terminal "rm -rf /"
[00:04] <eXpander> Dont do please
[00:04] <rectec> : P
[00:04] <|multipass|> on ubuntu 10.04, i made a application launcher with the command, "sudo jedit", but it wont launch. what am i missing?
[00:04] <OerHeks> gplikespie, open terminal and type alsamixer
[00:04] <gplikespie> oh I was talking to lala
[00:04] <gplikespie> why?
[00:04] <gplikespie> What does it do?
[00:04] <lalagirl> r000t do you really think i'm stupid?
[00:04] <r000t> yes
[00:04] <eXpander> r000t, that command does not work lol
[00:04] <rectec> lalagirl: will it even let you? Doesn't it say that it's a dangerous command and makes you confirm it?
[00:05] <r000t> eXpander: meh
[00:05] <lalagirl> rectec I know not to try anyways
[00:05] <eXpander> I have something better
[00:05] <r000t> orly?
[00:05] <OerHeks> gplikespie, try it, sounds like a mixer, so maybe you could enable a mic ?
[00:05] <eXpander> r000t, yeah
[00:05] <rectec> lalagirl: I did it once on a debian install on my phone : P
[00:06] <lalagirl> r000t i'm warning you… get off if you're going to make a problem...............
[00:06] <r000t> lalagirl: i am already getting off
[00:06] <w30> |multipass|, try   gksu  jedit
[00:06] <rectec> i forgot about #ubuntu-offtopic
[00:06]  * r000t nutts
[00:06] <lalagirl> r000t get off and never come back
[00:06] <r000t> lalagirl: no u
[00:06] <jpmh> how do i tell 11.10 NOT to dim and turn off my screen on inactivity - or at least set the time for it
[00:06] <rectec> anybody know how to change my window decorator theme?
[00:07] <Daxter> rectec: gnome 2 is still supported, have you heard of ubuntu 10.04?
[00:07] <rectec> jpmh: what are you using? Unity, GNOME, KDE, ..?
[00:07] <gplikespie> alsamixer does not help me, it wont find my mic
[00:07] <jpmh> rectec:  unity
[00:08] <rectec> Daxter: yeah I installed it yesterday. Kernel 2 is incompatible with my network card
[00:08] <joallard> X won't start after uninstalling nvidia; what do I do?
[00:08] <rectec> jpmh: go to the settings and power options
[00:08] <MercuryTW> hello all. I'm having some issues with the synaptic package manager. Error says "Some of the packages could not be retrieved from the server(s). Do you want to continue, ignoring these packages?"
[00:08] <rectec> jpmh: not on Unity atm but that's roughly what you do
[00:08] <eXpander> r000t, I prefer this command: :(){:|:&};:
[00:08] <jpmh> rectec: did that - do not see it there
[00:08] <eXpander> pretty funny
[00:08] <Daxter> thats werid? what network card?
[00:09] <eXpander> lalagirl, r000t's command does not work, so no worry
[00:09] <MercuryTW> should I just upgrade to the latest version of the os
[00:09] <rectec> Daxter: Ralink RT2800 or something
[00:09] <|multipass|> ty w30.
[00:09] <lalagirl> eXpander it doesn't matter… he is trying to cause problem...
[00:09] <Daxter> oh
[00:09] <Daxter> one of those type cards..i ahte those
[00:10] <lotus-blade> what provides libXxf86vm?
[00:10] <rectec> jpmh: Can you get to the settings?
[00:10] <eXpander> lalagirl, but he failed :)
[00:10] <r000t> eXpander: orly?
[00:10] <w30> rectec, in ccsm window decorator you can put "/usr/bin/gtk-window-decorator --metacity-theme CopperDeck --replace" with CopperDeck being a theme that you have
[00:10]  * joallard is frustrated by being ignored.
[00:10] <jpmh> rectec: u mean the system settings - if so, yes
[00:10] <r000t> lalagirl: he is right, if I failed then it shouldn't matter. Get off the rag girl.
[00:11] <rectec> jpmh: yeah look for Screen
[00:11] <rectec> jpmh: I have Gnome Shell which shares the same settings manager as Unity
[00:11] <Daxter> joallard: what distro? i think for 10.04 you have to reenable noveau.. what ever it was called
[00:11] <lalagirl> r000t stop it
[00:11] <w30> rectec, of course your theme has to include a window decoration; some don't
[00:11] <r000t> lalagirl: lo siento
[00:11] <jpmh> rectec: ty
[00:11] <gplikespie> I dont get the whole "shell" thing
[00:11] <jpmh> done
[00:11] <rectec> mhm
[00:11] <eXpander> r000t, you hate girls? :)
[00:12] <rectec> I love it when easy problems come about
[00:12] <gplikespie> lala, just ignore r000t, he is a sad excuse for a troll
[00:12] <r000t> eXpander: no i am just bored. Waiting for my torrent to finish
[00:12] <Daxter> or reinstall nvidia..why do you not need it .. graphics accleration ftw!
[00:12] <r000t> gplikespie: :(
[00:12] <rectec> w30: where do I put the theme? /usr/share/themes?
[00:12] <joallard> Daxter, I had installed the nvidia binaries and wanted to go to the package ones
[00:12] <joallard> I'm on Oneiric
[00:13] <joallard> I want to go back to nvidia-current
[00:13] <Daxter> binaries from nvidia site?
[00:13] <joallard> Yes
[00:13] <Daxter> dang howd you do that..i was stuck with vice versa since recovery mode is shit
[00:13] <pbandcheezwhiz> i am running 11.10, is worth the upgrade to 12.04 right now?
[00:13] <Daxter> anyways stick with the binaries imo
[00:13] <lalagirl> what does devoice on IRC do?
[00:13] <w30> rectec, yeah or home/rectec/.themes: I like /usr/share/themes
[00:13] <eXpander> lalagirl, de-voice
[00:13] <lalagirl> pbandcheezwhiz 12.04 is still in development...
[00:14] <philpem> lalagirl, in channels where +v is enabled, it stops a devoiced user from talking.
[00:14] <r000t> lalagirl: makes their ability to speak go away...if the function is set on the server
[00:14] <joallard> Daxter, what happens is that the binaries don't keep up to date with the kernel module
[00:14] <r000t> lalagirl: you have to have permissions to do it though
[00:14] <gms> wtf i just put 11.04 on this box and just spent three days restroing backups and now 12 is out?
[00:14] <eXpander> omg
[00:14] <pbandcheezwhiz> i know this.  just wondering if others are using it.
[00:14] <joallard> Daxter: so you always have to have the exact version of the kernel which isn't always right
[00:14] <Daxter> yep so i reinstall the driver with each update..no biggie
[00:14] <Ben64> it is best to use the nvidia package with ubuntu
[00:14] <iceroot> gms: 12.04 is not out
[00:14] <pbandcheezwhiz> gms, it is not out
[00:14] <joallard> Daxter: I prefer to stick with the pre-packaged ones
[00:14] <pbandcheezwhiz> its in devel
[00:14] <Ben64> 12.04 is alpha
[00:14] <Daxter> dont blame ya
[00:14] <gms> oh coolies panic over :P
[00:14] <gplikespie> I <3 Linux
[00:14] <iceroot> gms: 11.10 is the newest stable release
[00:15] <eXpander> gplikespie, why are you blue?
[00:15] <philpem> Quick question about network bridging... If I create a bridge with brctl, does the kernel forward packets intelligently based on MAC address?
[00:15] <OerHeks> support for 12.04 in #Ubuntu+1
[00:15] <philpem> That is, does it act like a hub (OSI Layer 1) or a switch (OSI Layer 2)?
[00:15] <gms> oh i said 11.04 not 11.10 i was prolly thinking 10.04
[00:15] <phil_phys> Dear friends, I have some problems with internet key on ubuntu could you help me please?
[00:15] <pbandcheezwhiz> i have a fresh install of 11 and its all sorts of wonky on my.  not super happy with it.
[00:15] <gplikespie> expander, what do you mean by blue?
[00:15] <pbandcheezwhiz> thanks OerHeks
[00:15] <lalagirl> !wtf | gms
[00:15] <r000t> gplikespie: he means your permissions
[00:15] <Daxter> phil_phys: what exactly are you trying to do? what is a internet key
[00:15] <eXpander> gplikespie, your nickname is in blue, and you are the only one, everyone else is grey
[00:16] <philpem> and by that I mean, does an incoming packet get repeated to every output port, or does it repeat only to ports where the MAC address is known to be?
[00:16] <gms> oh oops soz
[00:16] <gms> :)
[00:16] <eXpander> gplikespie, are you special?
[00:16] <gplikespie> Does that make me special?
[00:16] <eXpander> lol
[00:16] <eXpander> yes
[00:16] <rectec> w30: ok I'm off to gnome-look

[00:18] <rectec> w30: Does the site exist?
[00:18] <gplikespie> i have a shadow on the wall, I'll be the one to save us all
[00:18] <gms> ahh kk so i was thinking a bit strange that 12 would be out when oneric hasnt even cut its teeth yet.
[00:18] <philpem> gao: probably the /var/run rename bug
[00:18] <w30> rectec, it did before Christmas
[00:18] <philpem> it upset my server too (but I had serial console so I could fix it from the initramfs when it bailed out)
[00:18] <lalagirl> !who | gms
[00:19] <Hathadar> I would like to develop console to fullscreen opengl applications on my ubuntu 11.10 server edition.  I installed X server, a window manager and the latest nvidia drivers.

[00:24] <gplikespie> Elky, are you moderator? Can you tell me why I might look different than everyone else?

[00:25] <gms> heh i spose i should have visited the site more often. only used ubuntu for a year debian or slackwhere seam less complicated
[00:25] <gms> :P
[00:25] <elky> gplikespie, what do you mean "look different"?
[00:25] <philpem> iceroot, also see bug 858122
[00:25] <kkfn> Hello, how can I boot into busybox from a boot loader?
[00:25] <gplikespie> nevermind
[00:26] <philpem> iceroot, see the FIRST LINE of that bug.
[00:26] <elky> gplikespie, your irc client might highlight you so you can easily tell what is you and what is other people
[00:26] <lalagirl> gplikespie you don't look different than anyone else
[00:26] <iceroot> philpem: ok, thanks
[00:26] <gplikespie> ah thanks
[00:26] <lalagirl> hi i'm getting this warning when i'm going through the installation process of mediawiki 1.18.0: "Warning: The intl PECL extension is not available to handle Unicode normalization, falling back to slow pure-PHP implementation." what can I do to fix this? how do i install it with terminal?
[00:26] <gplikespie> then it was just root messing with me
[00:26] <philpem> iceroot, upgrading from 11.04 to 11.10 frigged my box, took ages to fix it, and i was sitting next to it with a Cherry mini-keyboard in my lap and a TFT precariously balanced on a chair!
[00:27] <lalagirl> gplikespie r000t was messing with everyone
[00:27] <Krenair> How do I install wine 1.3.30 that I installed without the package manager?
[00:27] <Ben64> gplikespie: i'm in xchat. you're blue to me, lalagirl is yellow, i am gray
[00:27] <gplikespie> r000t=troll
[00:27] <philpem> and that's my "being helpful" quota for tonight. i've had enough of digging through the trolling and bickering to find the pearls of wisdom and diamonds of truth.
[00:28] <iceroot> Krenair: your question does not make sense
[00:28] <Krenair> Or overwrite it with the latest version from the package manager?
[00:28] <Hathadar> I would like to develop console to fullscreen opengl applications on my ubuntu 11.10 server edition.  I installed X server, a window manager and the latest nvidia drivers.  When running xinit I get this error: (EE) Failed to load module "nv" (module does not exist, 0).  Xorg log - http://paste.ubuntu.com/785175/  Can I get some help getting X server running?
[00:28] <Krenair> iceroot, what part of it doesn't make sense?
[00:28] <elky> lalagirl, that looks like you're missing a pecl extension. look on the mediawiki website for installation instructions, it should tell you what to tell PEAR to install
[00:28] <gms> philpem pretty much same here. cept by the time i got it up and running id allready started download for iso was realy frustrated and didnt bother to check what else could be fixed.
[00:28] <iceroot> Krenair: everything
[00:28] <iceroot> Krenair: you are asking how to install something which you already installed
[00:28] <dr_willis> Hathadar:  you did reboot after installing the nvidia drivers?
[00:29] <Krenair> iceroot, some time ago, I installed wine 1.3.30. It doesn't seem I installed it through the package manager.
[00:29] <iceroot> Krenair: and now you want what?
[00:29] <Krenair> The version that aptitude shows is 1.3.35. I would like to get rid of my older version and use that instead
[00:29] <gplikespie> Hey, what does Wine do?
[00:29] <iceroot> !wine | gplikespie
[00:29] <gms> win32 api for unix
[00:29] <Symmetria> can someone here give me some iptables syntax to permit udp from a particular ip on my server to one specific ip, drop udp outbound to anywhere else, and permit all other traffic in and out?
[00:30] <gplikespie> thanks rceroot
[00:30] <Symmetria>  (so permit udp from xxx.xxx.xxx.111 to yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy ; deny udp from xxx.xxx.xxx.111 to any ; permit ip any any)
[00:30] <iceroot> Krenair: what is the output of "dpkg -l \*wine\*" and "wine --version"
[00:30] <lalagirl> elky I tried looking at the mediawiki website but it has no instructions on how to fix the error
[00:30] <iceroot> Symmetria: #iptables
[00:30] <Symmetria> Ive got a major problem that I gotta solve really fast on a server that I cannot pull offline thats been compromised and is being used to launch *HUGE* ddos attacks
[00:30] <Krenair> iceroot, http://paste.ubuntu.com/785186/
[00:31] <elky> lalagirl, don't look for the error, look for pre-requisites or things to install before installing mediawiki
[00:31] <gplikespie> oh boy
[00:32] <iceroot> Krenair: you installed wine from a ppa in version 1.3.35 and wine is at the moment 1.3.30
[00:32] <eXpander> !mediawiki
[00:32] <eXpander> damn, how does that command work?
[00:32] <eXpander> !mediawiki | eXpander
[00:32] <eXpander> wtf

[00:32] <lalagirl> !language | eXpander

[00:32] <eXpander> right, sorry
[00:32] <Krenair> ...
[00:32] <iceroot> Krenair: the 1.3.30 is installed by hand? (compiling or tar.gz)?
[00:33] <gplikespie> lala, what words are you not allowed to say here? pm me, or redirect me to a list dont post in chat
[00:33] <dr_willis> !coc | gplikespie
[00:33] <Krenair> iceroot, oh, okay. So I've done apt-get remove wine1.3 and aptitude now shows wine1.3 as not installed
[00:33] <gplikespie> ah thanks
[00:33] <Krenair> iceroot, I was under the impression I had installed 1.3.30 by hand, but you might be right that I used a ppa
[00:33] <gplikespie> how do you put that dividing line there
[00:33] <gplikespie> like in a pm
[00:34] <dr_willis>  You mean the | ? its a key on your keyboard..
[00:34] <dr_willis> | |  | :)
[00:34] <iceroot> Krenair: 1.3.35-0ubuntu1~ppa1~natty1  is saying ppa
[00:34] <Krenair> iceroot, so aptitude shows wine1.3 as not installed, but wine --version says wine-1.3.30
[00:35] <elky> lalagirl, another useful thing to do is to search for the exact text of the error. For example, I put the exact text of your error into google and http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Thread:Project:Support_desk/PCRE_UTF8_problem_when_upgrading_from_1.15.4_to_1.17.0/reply_%282%29 was the first result. Could you try installing php-intl (which is in the repositories as php5-intl) like it suggests?
[00:35] <iceroot> Krenair: you installed wine by hand? compiling maybe or a tar.gz?
[00:36] <Krenair> iceroot, I could've done it from either.
[00:36] <Krenair> I don't appear to have a wine-1.3.30 tar
[00:37] <Krenair> But I do have the wine source
[00:37] <Krenair> So I may have installed it from that
[00:37] <iceroot> Krenair: what is the output of "which wine"
[00:37] <Krenair> /usr/local/bin/wine
[00:37] <iceroot> Krenair: installed by your own
[00:37] <Krenair> Okay, great. I'd like to remove it
[00:37] <iceroot> Krenair: so have a look at some readme from your manual wine-installation
[00:38] <iceroot> Krenair: and for the future: its always a good idea to use software from the repos instead of compiling software by your own
[00:38] <gms> Krenair i often forget if i compiled or apt some stuff so locate or find helps try filtering for wine and src or deb tgz etc in the same string with path seperators might help to find the original source for ur install
[00:39] <lalagirl> elky I know I have to go to http://pecl.php.net/package/intl but I don't know how to install it...
[00:39] <iceroot> Krenair: i guess its enough to do "rm /usr/local/bin/wine && sudo apt-get install wine" to use the one from the repos
[00:39] <lalagirl> elky so I should do "sudo apt-get install php-intl"?
[00:40] <Stepnjump> Hi guys, I just download thunderbird 8.0 (I need that version for some reason) and it came in a tar ball. It's loaded with library files in there and I wonder how I'm supposed to install it
[00:40] <gms> lalagirl php5-intl
[00:40] <lalagirl> elky okay so what I did is "sudo apt-get install php5-intl" and its installing
[00:40] <iceroot> Stepnjump: thunderbird 8 is in the repos
[00:40] <dr_willis> Stepnjump:  perhaps just extract the archive, cd to the dirctory it makes, and run the app
[00:40] <iceroot> !info thunderbird
[00:41] <Stepnjump> iceroot, when I apt-get, it installs thunderbird 9
[00:41] <elky> ok, when it's installed, it often helps to fully stop then start apache again to make sure it gets the new php module
[00:41] <iceroot> Stepnjump: not on 11.10
[00:41] <Stepnjump> oh ok dr_willis, where should I extract it?
[00:41] <lalagirl> elky I did that, restarted apache2 and IT WORKS! thank you so much!
[00:41] <iceroot> Stepnjump: what is the output of "apt-cache policy thunderbird"
[00:41] <Stepnjump> I'm on 11.04 iceroot.. maybe that's why
[00:42] <elky> lalagirl, ok, how were you installing mediawiki? with the tar or with the package in the repository?
[00:42] <iceroot> !info thunderbird natty
[00:42] <pythonirc1011> If I want my ubuntu-apache to not connect (on http) -- to any particular ip, for more than 10 times a minute, can this be done? how?
[00:42] <Krenair> iceroot, I did sudo rm /usr/local/bin/wine
[00:42] <lalagirl> elky i used wget to get the tar from the mediawiki website
[00:42] <Krenair> Then installed wine1.3 from the repos
[00:42] <iceroot> Stepnjump: what is the output of the policy command?
[00:42] <Stepnjump> iceroot:  Installed: 9.0+build2-0ubuntu0.11.04.1~mts1
[00:43] <iceroot> Stepnjump: the complete output
[00:43] <iceroot> !paste | Stepnjump
[00:43] <Krenair> iceroot, now when trying to run wine I get bash: /usr/local/bin/wine: No such file or directory
[00:43] <Stepnjump> ok hold on iceroot
[00:43] <iceroot> Krenair: open a new shell so that PATH is read again
[00:43] <phil_phys> I can't use mobile broadband on ubuntu 11.10 how can i do?
[00:43] <phil_phys> could you help me?
[00:44] <Krenair> iceroot, wow. gotta admit I didn't expect that to work :p
[00:44] <gao2> how do i install nginx, mysql and php on ubuntu ?
[00:44] <elky> lalagirl, ok it would be useful to make a note about php-intl on http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Installation for future people :)
[00:44] <Stepnjump> iceroot: http://pastebin.com/KtR7M9RX
[00:44] <mohamedtouj> i need name for an package to change the background
[00:44] <iceroot> gao2: sudo apt-get install mysql-server php5 nginx
[00:44] <Krenair> iceroot, so it looks like it worked! Thanks for all the help
[00:44] <gao2> thanks
[00:44] <iceroot> Krenair: you are welcome
[00:45] <iceroot> Stepnjump: ver 9 is installed because you enabled the mozilla ppa which is holding the current stable release  http://ppa.launchpad.net/mozillateam/thunderbird-stable/ubuntu/
[00:45] <lalagirl> elky I will do that, thank you
[00:45] <ubuntu0932> phil_phys: what is the mobile broadband product you are trying to use? is it a usb dongle?
[00:45] <john___> can anyone help me with configuringn Ubuntu so I can connect to the Internet using a mobile broadband
[00:46] <mohamedtouj> i need name for an package to change the background
[00:46] <mohamedtouj> i need name for an package to change the background

[00:46] <iceroot> mohamedtouj: stop it
[00:46] <back-trak> hi all
[00:46] <Stepnjump> iceroot, so what should I doÉ
[00:46] <iceroot> Stepnjump: there is no way to use v9?
[00:47] <Stepnjump> iceroot, I would like to use v9
[00:47] <john___> can anyone help me with configuringn Ubuntu so I can connect to the Internet using a mobile broadband
[00:47] <iceroot> Stepnjump: for using v8 (its not getting security updates) you should use the tar.gz, extract it and just run the thunderbird-bin
[00:47] <john___> I'm using a Globe Super Stick
[00:47] <iceroot> Stepnjump: and what is the problem with v9?
[00:47] <OerHeks> !artwork | mohamedtouj
[00:47] <phil_phys> ubuntu0932: Huawei E220 could you help me?
[00:47] <Stepnjump> I have a software here I bought. It's a french corrector
[00:48] <Stepnjump> I have a software here I bought. It's a french corrector iceroot
[00:48] <krysits> amazon ec2 cloud services is for money?
[00:48] <Stepnjump> it will only work with v8 iceroot
[00:48] <iceroot> Stepnjump: there are french correctors for thunderbird 9 free
[00:48] <iceroot> Stepnjump: its a normal thunderbird addon
[00:48] <Stepnjump> I know but with my gf bought this expensive one so I would like to use that one. It does a lot more
[00:49] <iceroot> Stepnjump: for using v8 (its not getting security updates) you should use the tar.gz, extract it and just run the thunderbird-bin
[00:49] <Stepnjump> Yes i know iceroot. And they are good but this one is very specialized
[00:49] <gao2> with nginx do i need fast-cgi?
[00:49] <iceroot> Stepnjump: no installation needed, just extract the tar.gz and call the thunderbird binary
[00:49] <OerHeks> phil_phys, maybe this page is any help >> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto/Huawei
[00:49] <Stepnjump> are you a thunderbird wizz iceroot? I have another problem too. Maybe you might be able to help me
[00:49] <iceroot> Stepnjump: i can try
[00:49] <Stepnjump> Iceroot, where would I extract it? in /opt?
[00:50] <Stepnjump> Let me try to install it first
[00:50] <iceroot> Stepnjump: for example
[00:50] <Guest5105> anyone here use jolicloud?
[00:50] <Guest5105> #jolicloud
[00:50] <iceroot> Stepnjump: i always putting it in /home/username/bin/
[00:50] <Stepnjump> I have thunderbird 9 right now installed. I tried to whereis thunderbird* but nothing echos up
[00:50] <Stepnjump> oh ok cool. Nobody ever told me that
[00:51] <iceroot> Stepnjump: that is just what i do, it must not be the best solution
[00:51] <Stepnjump> I wanted to find where the thunderbird is currently installed. Isnè't the syntax: whereis thunder*
[00:51] <usuario> gaegaghdhgd
[00:51] <Stanley00> Stepnjump: try whereis thunderbird
[00:51] <usuario> que bosta é isso
[00:51] <iceroot> Stepnjump: "which thunderbird"
[00:52] <Stepnjump> ah now it works iceroot! lol... Strange! It works without the wildcard
[00:53] <Stepnjump> Here is where they are iceroot /usr/bin/thunderbird /etc/thunderbird /usr/share/man/man1/thunderbird.1.gz
[00:53] <iceroot> Stepnjump: use "which thunderbird"
[00:53] <RonWhoCares> I am trying to install ubuntu 11.04 using ubuntu-11.04-alternate-i386.iso with the command "sudo mkdir -p /media/cdrom" and then "sudo mount -o loop ~/Desktop/ubuntu-11.04-alternate-i386.iso /media/cdrom"   The error I am receiving is at http://www.pastebin.com/8CkTugjy   Is someone able to help me please
[00:53] <iceroot> Stepnjump: that will show you where the binary is
[00:53] <Stepnjump> so cool!
[00:54] <iceroot> Stepnjump: use "dpkg -L thunderbird" to see all files installed by thunderbird
[00:54] <Stepnjump> I'm learning a lot thanks
[00:54] <Stepnjump> ok thanks, let me try that
[00:54] <iceroot> Stepnjump: but that is not important if you are using the *.tar.gz
[00:55] <iceroot> Stepnjump: just extract the complete tar.gz and use the binary
[00:55] <Stepnjump> I will take notes from all you are explaining me right now iceroot. Thank you very much!
[00:55] <iceroot> Stepnjump: but you know what is would be best?
[00:55] <Stepnjump> ok let me try it. brb iceroot. thanks
[00:55] <Stepnjump> no? iceroot
[00:55] <iceroot> Stepnjump: speak to the manufacture from the french corrector and tell them they should support thunderbird9
[00:56] <iceroot> Stepnjump: because thunderbird8 will not get any security-updates
[00:56] <Stepnjump> I think they will soon
[00:56] <Stepnjump> ok so you suggest I stick with Thunderbird 8 then right?
[00:56] <RonWhoCares> iceroot are you able to look at my problem
[00:56] <Stepnjump> 9 I mean iceroot
[00:57] <iceroot> Stepnjump: i would suggest to use the stable-version which is v9
[00:57] <Stepnjump> ok
[00:57] <Max38> RonWhoCares: you need to put "sudo" in front of that command maybe?
[00:57] <Stepnjump> I will then. I will just wait for their update soon
[00:57] <RonWhoCares> Max38 I will try
[00:58] <Max38> oh, you're already root, that's probably not it
[00:58] <RonWhoCares> yes, I am in terminal, in the /media/cdrom I made
[00:58] <iceroot> RonWhoCares: why are you calling cdromupdate with sh? it seems it a python script
[00:58] <iceroot> RonWhoCares: ./cdromupgrade
[00:58] <joallard> FRUSTRATION
[00:59] <iceroot> !upgrade | RonWhoCares
[00:59] <iceroot> !alternate
[01:00] <Flentino> Hi, does anybody know how can I seed back the stuffes with rtorrent?
[01:00] <Daxter> joallard: what was your prb again?
[01:00] <RonWhoCares> iceroot when I do ./cdromupgrade I receive the same error as in the pastebin
[01:00] <Stepnjump> My second question is I have probably corruption in my ~/.thunderbird data files because when I use my old data (I have deinstalled and reinstalled numerous times), I cannot remove some of my old add-ons.. So what I have done is I went to the Mail subdir and copied it to the new profile. It doesn't read the old messages. The only way it will bring up my old messages is if I were to copy all files that are in the old profile xyz.default. How could I possib
[01:00] <Stepnjump> ly just import my address book and email messages without having to reload the corrupted data iceroot?
[01:00] <RonWhoCares> iceroot I promise you ... I have been on the support pages
[01:01] <talman> anascabdi2@hotmail.com
[01:01] <talman> 5174050
[01:02] <iceroot> Stepnjump: you need everything from the profile dir to read the messages correctly
[01:02] <Stepnjump> iceroot.. figured!
[01:02] <RonWhoCares> iceroot The real problem is that I have version 9 on the computer I am trying to fix for a friend.  I can't perform the upgrade from this version to the current version
[01:02] <iceroot> Stepnjump: if you can not remove old addons maybe its a good idea to run thunderbird in safe-mode and remove the addons there
[01:03] <Stepnjump> If I were to ls > pastebin.org, would you be able to tell me which files would need to be deleted so the add-ons will not load at the same time?
[01:03] <RonWhoCares> iceroot: The other challenge is that the computer is a netbook.  There is no CD ROM / DVD drive
[01:03] <iceroot> RonWhoCares: so you are running 9.10 at the moment and want to upgrade to 10.04 with the alternate.disc?
[01:03] <xangua> (19:00:58) RonWhoCares: iceroot I promise you ... I have been on the support pages - you have not, since Hours ago the bot told you how to upgrade from no longer supported vesions
[01:03] <Stepnjump> safe mode...! Really
[01:04] <xangua> !eol | once again RonWhoCares
[01:04] <iceroot> xangua: should be no difference if eol or not when using alternate
[01:05] <pwnwolf117_> #team-evil
[01:05] <iceroot> RonWhoCares: you are using 9.x and trying the 11.x alternate-disc?
[01:05] <RonWhoCares> xangua: I went there and I am getting the same error whether I try version 10 or 11.  I have version 9.04
[01:05] <iceroot> RonWhoCares: you need the 9.10 alternate disc
[01:05] <iceroot> RonWhoCares: then the 10.04 alternate
[01:05] <RonWhoCares> ok
[01:05] <iceroot> RonWhoCares: then the 10.10, then 11.04 then 11.10
[01:05] <RonWhoCares> I missed the 9.10
[01:06] <iceroot> RonWhoCares: why not upating with the update-manager?
[01:06] <Daxter> RonWhoCares: unless you liek unity/going to sue it sticjk with 10.04
[01:07] <RonWhoCares> iceroot update-manager says the update is not supported

[01:08] <Stepnjump> thanks iceroot. Yes I just saw that ;)
[01:08] <``marcus> I was here earlier with the same kind of problem, and the solution I was given doesn't work for this. I moved a file into my home directory, and it isn't owned by my user, how do I make it so that all files and folders in my home directory don't have to be executed with sudo?
[01:09] <iceroot> Stepnjump: that should do the tricks about the failing addons
[01:09] <iceroot> ``marcus: can you please remove the ``?
[01:09] <dr_willis> ``marcus:  executed? or accessed?
[01:10] <``marcus> Sorry iceroot, I left IRC open on another computer using `marcus :/
[01:10] <iceroot> ``marcus: sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /home/$USER/
[01:10] <``marcus> dr_willis: I want to be able to do everything to it with this user and not have to use sudo
[01:10] <iceroot> ``marcus: ah stop
[01:10] <``marcus> ?
[01:11] <iceroot> ``marcus: dont use that command
[01:11] <``marcus> Ok
[01:11] <iceroot> ah ok, sudo echo $USER is showing my real user, so the command is ok
[01:11] <dr_willis> Now would be a good time to read up on linux permissions. :)
[01:11] <Stepnjump> iceroot; moment of truth!
[01:11] <dr_willis> iceroot:  :) yep. the $USER is expanded by the shell befor the command is ran.
[01:12] <vantam1990> msg Stanley00 welcome
[01:12] <``marcus> thank you iceroot!
[01:13] <iceroot> dr_willis: i always forget that feature :)
[01:13] <[GuS]> Hi guys... i've installed trac 0.12 from repos but i dont have translations enabled, even when python-babel is installed...
[01:14] <iceroot> hm what is the difference for $USER and $USERNAME? $USERNAME == the real name from the person? and $USER == /home/user?
[01:15] <Stepnjump> iceroot: nope unfortunately, they are all back on!
[01:15] <Stepnjump> Can't get them to stick
[01:15] <iceroot> Stepnjump: thunderbird -ProfileManager
[01:15] <iceroot> Stepnjump: is there more then one profile listed?
[01:16] <Stepnjump> shouldn't be.. let me check
[01:16] <iceroot> Stepnjump: else i would suggest to have a look at irc.mozilla.org  with the channel #thunderbird
[01:17] <Stepnjump> no iceroot: just the default
[01:17] <Stepnjump> ok iceroot... pretty messed up in there
[01:18] <TiMiDo> hello there i have a question I'm using modules ath9k but every time i want my network to start up for example my wireless i need to do this rmmod -f acer-wmi is getting annoying every time i reboot
[01:18] <gao> hi i just uninstalled vsftpd and deleted the config file
[01:18] <iceroot> !blacklist | TiMiDo
[01:18] <gao> and when i reinstall vsftpd the config file doesn't reinstall
[01:19] <iceroot> TiMiDo: blacklist the module acer-wmi there
[01:21] <Stepnjump> thanks for all your help iceroot
[01:30] <dr_willis> gao:  what was the exact path/name to the config file?
[01:30] <gao> don't worry i used --purge
[01:30] <gao> and it works now
[01:31] <gao> now i'm having trouble with vsftpd's default permission
[01:32] <Vaelstrom> okay, so!
[01:32] <Vaelstrom> I've got myself a handy CD containing Ubuntu stuff
[01:32] <Vaelstrom> tested it on my laptop
[01:32] <Vaelstrom> works fine, except my mouse apparently does not work
[01:32] <yumbo> how can I copy an area in Gimp ?
[01:33] <yumbo> selecting an area and then pressing Control+C only copies the selection -_-
[01:33] <m15k> Any tips howto debug a kernel module using eclipse?
[01:33] <yumbo> (not the actually image, just the selection form)
[01:33] <dr_willis> and an 'area' is defined how yumbo
[01:33] <Vaelstrom> I was hoping I could get some form of support on this, seeing as I really want ubuntu ;-;
[01:33] <somsip> yumbo: selection tool in the top left, drag the area to select, Edit memnu, Copy Merged, Edit menu, Paste as new image
[01:33] <lorddelta> ...they say not to ask questions about questions...but I want to know if its alright to ask why windows is such a dumb-@ss (Mac too apparently) when it comes to networks....
[01:34] <xangua> lorddelta: not ubuntu related, let's go back to the topic ;)
[01:34] <dr_willis> lorddelta:  and its vague. :)
[01:35] <lorddelta> A much better question I'm sure would be to ask why ubuntu is able to find my router through a switch, through an AP, which is connected to the switch
[01:35] <lorddelta> Why is it so smart?!?!
[01:35] <lorddelta> :P
[01:35] <Vaelstrom> ;-;
[01:35] <Vaelstrom> The light on the mouse lights up, so it knows it's connected. Doesn't read input though.
[01:36] <Vaelstrom> And when I bring it back to Windows, it works fine.
[01:36] <Vaelstrom> :U
[01:36] <yumbo> somsip, paste as new layer, thanks though :)
[01:36] <somsip> yumbo: that too :)
[01:36] <dr_willis> Vaelstrom:  you tried unpluging/replugging in the mouse?
[01:36] <Vaelstrom> yes
[01:36] <Vaelstrom> A lot of times.
[01:37] <Vaelstrom> Yields the exact same result. The mouse light goes on, nothing happens with the computer.
[01:37] <dr_willis> check 'xev' command output, and 'dmesg' command output befor and after plugging it in.
[01:37] <dr_willis> sounds like some quirk in the usb/detection. what make mouse?
[01:37] <Vaelstrom> It's a Microsoft Mouse
[01:37] <Vaelstrom> uhh
[01:37] <Vaelstrom> I think I still have the box, gimme a minute.
[01:38] <dr_willis> its not some weird fancy mouse then? just a normal usb wired mouse? not bluetooth or anything like that
[01:38] <tavelram> hi there. Id like to zoom out/scale out a window so that it takes up less pixels on the screen. Kind of like xrandr --scale, but or a single window. Im using ubuntu 10.04 with compiz. Any suggestions?
[01:38] <Vaelstrom> Just USB
[01:38] <tavelram> for
[01:39] <Vaelstrom> Microsoft(R) Comfort Mouse 4500
[01:39] <dr_willis> tavelram:  compiz has some plugin that can take a window and (for example) scale it down to 1/2 its normal size.
[01:39] <dr_willis> I just dont recall what it was called.
[01:39] <EvilResistance> Vaelstrom:  i think i've got one of those... it works perfectly fine on Linux.  DId you try connecting to a different USB port?
[01:39] <cece> awesome
[01:39] <boldfilter> How do I change alias commands?
[01:39] <dr_willis> boldfilter:  define a new alias in bash.
[01:39] <nac4l> Anyone here use comcast wifi services/router?  I am looking to see if it's possible to setup static nat on the netgear wnr1000v2, and I'm having trouble getting any services forwarded.
[01:39] <tavelram> dr_willis, nice, ok. I thought Id gone through all their plugins =/.
[01:40] <Vaelstrom> hm
[01:40] <Vaelstrom> Let me try again.
[01:40] <EvilResistance> boldfilter:  change how?  normally, alias <commandAlias>='<command(s)>' will fix it
[01:40] <boldfilter> How would I go about deleting an alias that is giving me an error
[01:40] <boldfilter> “alias: command not found
[01:41] <boldfilter> “alias android-disconnect=”fusermount -u /media/GalaxyNexus”
[01:41] <Fudge> remove it from .bash_aliases?
[01:41] <Ep1kMalware> window close
[01:41] <EvilResistance> if that's where it is ;P
[01:42] <boldfilter> hmm
[01:42] <lorddelta> dr_willis: Yeah, I apologize. I suppose I'm complimenting Ubuntu here; I don't know if there's a better place to do that.
[01:42] <dr_willis> lorddelta:  #windows ? :)  nah..better not do that..
[01:43] <carolyn> Hi I've freshly installed lubuntu on an old computer which uses BCM4318 wireless drivers, I installed bcm-fwcutter to try to get what's necessary, but nothing is apprearing in my additional drivers prompt. Any advice on what I've done wrong?
[01:43] <lorddelta> dr_willis: haha yeah of course why didn't I think of that. ;)
[01:44] <dr_willis> bbl
[01:44] <Lunar_Lamp> carolyn: hmm, which version of lubuntu are you using, because I'm sure that "just works" nowadays.
[01:44] <RD> org
[01:44] <Lunar_Lamp> (I had that same driver in a laptop about 5year ago)
[01:45] <carolyn> Lunar_Lamp: 11.10. Maybe a restart is necessary for the prompt to appear?
[01:45] <Lunar_Lamp> carolyn: it's possible, but I'm not sure that fwcutter is required.  Let me just have a look.
[01:46] <dr_willis> The wireless card is 'turned on' isent it?
[01:46] <dr_willis> brb
[01:46] <RD> wow, when installing x-chat from software center, it forced me to join here, sorry org. am new to this xchat thing, so if i mess up trying to join another swerver, please forgive me
[01:46] <Lunar_Lamp> But, a reboot will load kernel modules, potentially, if you've just installed packages and they haven't modprobe'd already (and you don't want to do so yourself).
[01:47] <carolyn> It works!
[01:50] <carolyn> Thanks guys!
[01:50] <linkcislinux> Were here to help xD
[01:50] <gridbag> we're
[01:51] <linkcislinux> o.o gridbag, i know i just didnt bother putting in the ', but this isnt highschool so please don't correct my spelling. lol
[01:55] <cliffybx> my file explorer close automaticly when i open it..how to fix this problem>
[01:55] <pp7> cliffybx: nautilus?
[01:56] <cliffybx> yes..pp7
[01:56] <cliffybx> how to fix it
[01:57] <linkcislinux> cliffybx: did you try starting nautlius from the terminal and see if gives you an error or something when it crashes?
[01:58] <cliffybx> Segmentation fault (core dumped)
[01:58] <pp7> was just about to say that
[01:58] <cliffybx> i got that error
[01:58] <pp7> hmm
[01:59] <pp7> nothing before that?
[01:59] <bluebomber> Does anyone know why Evolution is giving me this error: "Error while generating message list. no such table:mem.[Gmail]/Sent Mail"?
[01:59] <ssfdre38> is there a way to have the password window to stop popping up
[02:00] <cliffybx> nothing..just crash
[02:00] <linkcislinux> ssfdre38: you mean the one that ask you to enter your root password?
[02:00] <ssfdre38> yes
[02:01] <linkcislinux> ssfdre38: not recommended but the only way I know of is to run as root then lol
[02:01] <linkcislinux> cliffybx: do you have nautilus-open-terminal installed?
[02:01] <ssfdre38> well i have myself in the sudoers as NOPASSWD: ALL
[02:03] <cliffybx> yes..i have
[02:03] <linkcislinux> ssfdre38: so your sudoers is setup as whateveryournameis ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL ?
[02:04] <ssfdre38> yea
[02:04] <linkcislinux> cliffybx: try uninstalling the nautilus-open-terminal. I looked it up sometimes that causes that bug you are having
[02:04] <MrHeat> Can someone help me... i'm trying to install ubuntu on my vaio notebook with usb stick... i formatted it as fat32 and used the program on ubuntu website... but when i boot on it and click "install onto hard drive" or "run from cd" it just blinks and stay on menu...
[02:04] <cliffybx> ok2..i'll try
[02:05] <linkcislinux> ssfdre38: not sure then beyond that sorry. Ive never set it up like that before, just for security reasons dont want to risk it
[02:05] <linkcislinux> MrHeat: you could try Unetbootin, ive used that before on Windows and never had a problem getting it to work with my USB drives.
[02:08] <MrHeat> linkcislinux: i have tried it too.
[02:08] <dr_willis> pendrivelinux web site has alterantives to unetbootin also.
[02:08] <dr_willis> 11.10 you can just 'dd' the iso to a usb flash also.
[02:09] <dr_willis> its possible the  system has some issues, where you may need to use the alternative isntaller cd
[02:09] <MrHeat> My USB stack has formatted with fat32, marked as primary, and active, something wrong here? it was split on two partitions before...
[02:10] <dr_willis> MrHeat:  primary, active is normal.
[02:11] <cliffybx> still got the same problem..sys:1: Warning: g_value_get_pointer: assertion `G_VALUE_HOLDS_POINTER (value)' failed
[02:11] <cliffybx> Segmentation fault (core dumped)
[02:11] <MrHeat> i'll try again... its bad for me, i tried to install backtrack 5 and ubuntu, none of these worked on my notebook, but worked on my desktop.
[02:13] <linkcislinux> cliffybx: dont have dropbox installed do you?
[02:14] <cliffybx> no..i dont installed it
[02:16] <dr_willis> dropbox is so handy. Ubunt One really needs to work a bit harder at getting so usefull :)
[02:16] <linkcislinux> cliffybx: I just had that same problem, I am trying to remember what I did to fix it
[02:17] <Starminn> For whatever reason, I am continually unable to access http://gnome-look.org -- this usually happens on all browsers, except for Firefox. After viewing about 5 pages, though, Firefox stops displaying it as well. Ideas?
[02:17] <linkcislinux> cliffybx: did you upgrade to 11.10 or did you do fresh install?
[02:18] <cliffybx> i fresh install it from dvd
[02:19] <Pickleface> hey
[02:19] <Pickleface> I want to remove my windows and do a full ubuntu install I dont have a ubuntu disk though, what can I do ?
[02:20] <xangua> Pickleface: follow the install instructions
[02:20] <dr_willis> Pickleface:  get a disk?
[02:20] <Pickleface> dr_willis from where?
[02:20] <dr_willis> make a bootable flash..
[02:20] <Pickleface> xangua can you link me?
[02:21] <dr_willis> the internetz?  local bookstore, library, linux user group..
[02:21] <linkcislinux> cliffybx: sorry im out of ideas
[02:22] <cliffybx> =)ok..thanks
[02:22] <m15k> Any ideas howto debug a kernel module?
[02:22] <cliffybx> should i user 11.04
[02:22] <cliffybx> *use
[02:22] <linkcislinux> cliffybx: last idea did you install all the updates in ubuntu 11.10?
[02:23] <linkcislinux> Starminn: does it do that on any other website?
[02:23] <cliffybx> yes..i did..but in the end i got free,desktop.org erorr
[02:23] <Pickleface> the only option I get is "disk burner" not usb or anything ?
[02:24] <dr_willis> Pickleface:  What?
[02:24] <Starminn> linkcislinux, Nope, everything else works perfectly.
[02:24] <linkcislinux> Starminn: try this website. It says how to clean your dns cache, might fix that problem. Sounds like a possible dns error http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-clearflush-dns-cache-in-ubuntu.html
[02:24] <Starminn> linkcislinux, If I clear my cookies/cache it works again, but it keeps happening and I'm less than willing to clear all my cookies/cache/history every time I want to access just that site
[02:24] <linkcislinux> cliffybx: wait you went to update and it errored out during the update?
[02:24] <Starminn> linkcislinux, Okay
[02:25] <cliffybx> yes..it did
[02:25] <linkcislinux> cliffybx: try in a terminal sudo apt-get -f install. See if theres anything that needs to install. Sounds like you might of did a partial update.
[02:26] <pythonirc1011> What's wrong with my box -- http://pbin.be/show/328/ ?
[02:26] <linkcislinux> pythonirc1011: run sudo apt-get -f install in a terminal it will fix your dependency problem
[02:27] <xangua> pythonirc1011: did you try the command suggestion¿
[02:27] <pythonirc1011> linkcislinux: thanks. trying
[02:28] <pythonirc1011> seems like its working now, thanks
[02:28] <linkcislinux> pythonirc1011: np
[02:29] <Starminn> linkcislinux, No luck.
[02:29] <dave_>  fucku
[02:29] <linkcislinux> o.o clam down dave
[02:29] <linkcislinux> *calm
[02:29] <dave_> sorry
[02:30] <dave_> i have terets
[02:32] <MariaKeys> anyone knows how to add a second gateway with "ip route add" command?
[02:32] <DJredstar> hey! quick question: Is the a iTunesMusicStore plugin for bashee that would work with ubuntu?
[02:32] <DJredstar> i googled it and saw some ppl talking about it but no downloads
[02:33] <xangua> DJredstar: i don't think there is
[02:33] <DJredstar> ok, thanks
[02:33] <linkcislinux> MariaKeys: I dont think you can, far as I know you would have to have a script running to check the gateways and that
[02:33] <MariaKeys> linkcislinux: of course you can.
[02:34] <Starminn> In Ubuntu 11.10 with GNOME-Shell environment, my mouse often tends to "lag" a bit -- it will stutter around the screen. It's not so bad that it's unusable, but certainly noticeable. Any thoughts?
[02:34] <linkcislinux> MariaKeys: I said I didnt think you could, I never said I was right. lol
[02:35] <phix> Starminn: you are refering to the gnome-terminal ?
[02:35] <Starminn> phix, No, I literally mean my mouse. The "pointer", if you will.
[02:36] <linkcislinux> Starminn: you arent running the Nouveau driver by any chance are you
[02:36] <phix> Starminn: ok so when you move your mouse over gnome-terminal it is doing it?
[02:36] <Starminn> linkcislinux, How could I tell?
[02:36] <MariaKeys> linkcislinux: you dont need any script to modify routing tables. "ip route" does it via its tables at /etc/iproute2/rt_tables. i am just trying to see if i could get it done without adding new tables there.
[02:37] <Metroshica> Currently my machine is hosting three services, a minecraft server, tf2 server and torrent server. It has more than enough memory and it seems to have sufficient cpu power (which has two cores btw). Usually I have a system load of .10 to .30, so there's not much of an issue. However, when a file is downloading on the torrent server, the system load can spike to 4.0 or higher, and this obviously causes issues. The memory usage stays low, as does the cpu us
[02:37] <Metroshica> age, but apparently there must be too many requests on the torrent server. Is there an in-depth way that I can see what is driving the system load up?
[02:37] <Starminn> phix, Yes, it does it for the entire desktop environment/shell
[02:37] <phix> Starminn: ah, windows manager is the term you are looking for :)
[02:37] <phix> oh it does it in a TTY as well?
[02:37] <Starminn> phix, *shrug* Lol, all I know is, I'm using GNOME Shell lol
[02:38] <Starminn> phix, TTY?
[02:38] <phix> yeah TTY, CTRL+ALT+F1 - F6
[02:38] <phix> F7 being X by default
[02:38] <Starminn> phix, There *is* no cursor in the TTY...... *sigh* I feel like you have no idea what I'm talking about
[02:39] <phix> Starminn: there is if you install the appropriate package
[02:39] <linkcislinux> Starminn: type sudo lspci -k at the terminal and it should show your graphics card partways down and says Kernel driver in use :
[02:39] <Starminn> phix, You have a keyboard, and you have a "mouse." Your "mouse" translates to the pointer/cursor on the desktop. This is what I am speaking of.
[02:39] <Starminn> phix, I do not require a mouse at the TTY, regardless.
[02:39] <phix> Starminn: no I am asking you questions to try and figure out what you are talking about :)  looks like linkcislinux knows more about your issue than me
[02:39] <Pickleface> I clicked the installer
[02:39] <Pickleface> and I cant make a usb drive from it
[02:40] <Pickleface> only CD
[02:40] <Pickleface> :S
[02:40] <phix> Starminn: yes I Know that but a mouse can be used in a TTY as well, you didnt really explain yourself well
[02:40] <Starminn> linkcislinux, Kernel driver in use: e100
[02:40] <linkcislinux> Starminn: I know the nouveau driver causes lag, thats what I was thinking. hm..
[02:40] <Starminn> linkcislinux, Oh, I see. Sorry I didn't realize there's multiples. Umm...
[02:41] <Stepnjump> guys, I'm trying to list all files that start with thunderbird*, in dos, it would be dir thunderbird* - What is the equivalent in ubuntu please
[02:41] <Starminn> linkcislinux, It would be under VGA, right?
[02:41] <phix> Starminn: the same, but it is case sensitive
[02:41] <xangua> the install instructions at ubuntu.com tells you how to make a bootable usb Pickleface
[02:41] <phix> Stepnjump: sorry I meant you :)
[02:41] <phix> Starminn: sorry  meant Stepnjump
[02:41] <dr_willis> Stepnjump:   you could do echo thund*    also. :)
[02:41] <xangua> !usb | Pickleface
[02:41] <xangua> you can also use unetbootin and others
[02:42] <Starminn> linkcislinux, Yeah, I assume we're talking graphics here, so the kernel drive in use for that is "radeon"
[02:42] <Starminn> linkcislinux, The card is ATI Radeon X600 -- this problem is not present in Unity
[02:42] <phix> Stepnjump: dir is valid in ubuntu terminal, but you woud usually use the ls command, it is more conventianal
[02:42] <linkcislinux> Starminn: go to terminal type in top and see if at the top line what is taking up the most cpu, see if something is spiking your cpu
[02:42] <Stepnjump> that is good dr_willis but I need a ls -al type of output so I can check the chmod and chown values
[02:43] <phix> Stepnjump: so type in ls -lha thunderbird*
[02:43] <phix> Stepnjump: or if you want to search sub directories use the find command
[02:43] <Stepnjump> that's the thing phix, doesn't work for me
[02:44] <Stepnjump> it would be logical though
[02:44] <phix> Stepnjump: it is case sensitive though
[02:44] <phix> Stepnjump: ls -lha Thunderbird*  or ls -lha [tT]hunderbird*
[02:44] <Starminn> linkcislinux, No, the highest CPU% is 15%, and that's GNOME-Shell.
[02:45] <gao> how do i configure nginx ???
[02:45] <phix> Stepnjump: or ls -lha [Tt][Hh][Uu][Nn] .... etc... :)
[02:45] <linkcislinux> Starminn: so its not something spiking your cpu
[02:45] <scream> The "Taskbar" keeps hiding when I have applications (GUI) up, such as firefox and thunderbird, terminal, etc.  I like to see what I'm running, and I do alot of switching that I would like to do with the mouse between tasks.  Please, any help you can give me? Thank you in advance.
[02:46] <phix> scream: There is a compiz configuration utility you can install which allows you to keep the panel showing
[02:46] <scream> I selected "Never" under autohide.
[02:46] <scream> At the moment when I have xchat up, it slid away.
[02:46] <scream> I don't see it.
[02:46] <phix> scream: better yet, install gnome-session-fallback  and when you login choose gnome classic, I personally dislike unity
[02:47] <scream> I'm trying to get used to unity... I'm ok with it, if I can have my task bar :)  Is there a way to have my cake and eat it too?
[02:47] <Stepnjump> phix, echo works but not ls when I add a search string... Does ls -lha Thunderbird* work for you?
[02:47] <phix> Stepnjump: no because I don't have any files in my current directory starting with Thunderbird
[02:48] <phix> Stepnjump: what are you trying to do? :)
[02:48] <Stepnjump> well, let's say if you did have it... try touch thunderbird in your directory and please try the command you gave me and tell me what comes up to you
[02:48] <Stepnjump> nothing owrks here
[02:48] <Stepnjump> works
[02:48] <Stepnjump> but the [] thing is interesting phix
[02:49] <RonWhoCares> I have downloaded the alternate 9.10 Ubuntu (to upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10) .  Initially Ubuntu is acting like it is going to upgrade, doing all the pre upgrade checks.  But then I get an error and it aborts.  The error is at http://www.pastebin.com/YABQrELC  Any suggestion
[02:49] <phix> Stepnjump: if I touch thunderbird when ls -lha Thunderbird wont match because it is the wrong case
[02:49] <phix> when = then
[02:49] <phix> Stepnjump: the terminal is case sensitive remember :)
[02:49] <phix> Stepnjump: A file thunderbird and Thunderbird and even THunderbird can exist in the same directory
[02:50] <RonWhoCares> oops, pastbin is at http://www.pastebin.com/YA8QrELC
[02:50] <Stepnjump> yes I know
[02:50] <phix> Stepnjump: ok
[02:50] <linkcislinux> Stepnjump: did you try whereis thunderbird?
[02:50] <scream> phix, I know you are busy... if you get a moment and have any idea I can use to keep my taskbar?
[02:50] <RonWhoCares> is there a way to ignore this?
[02:50] <phix> Stepnjump: ok it works for me :)
[02:51] <phix> Stepnjump: is there a file in the directory you are running ls that starts with thunderbird?
[02:51] <linkcislinux> Starminn: sorry im out of ideas with you. I would say maybe try updating your driver if you can through the additional drivers.
[02:52] <Stepnjump> yep! that's the thing
[02:52] <linkcislinux> scream: what do you mean by taskbar?
[02:52] <Starminn> linkcislinux, My "Additional Drivers" window always says there are none to be found
[02:52] <scream> The unity bar on the left.
[02:52] <RonWhoCares> or how do I check that I have the current version of all 9.04 ?  I would normally use yum update in the Linux edition I use
[02:52] <scream> The launcher thing.
[02:52] <Stepnjump> yep! that's the thing phix. I would just like to see it's permission quickly without having to scroll phix
[02:52] <linkcislinux> scream: if your in unity it is there? I dont know what you mean?
[02:52] <phix> scream: yes, install compizconfig-backend-gconf then you will see it in Applications
[02:52] <frogtoad> hhh'
[02:53] <scream> phix, will do that now
[02:53] <phix> scream: oops sorry it was compizconfig-settings-manager
[02:53] <phix> scream: ok :)
[02:53] <scream> ok
[02:53] <scream> compizconfig-settings-manager is already the newest version.
[02:53] <Raliegh> How do I find the location of a program in bash? Like of the actual "exectuable"?
[02:53] <phix> Stepnjump: what is the name of the file exactly and what are you typing in ?
[02:54] <phix> Raliegh: which
[02:54] <phix> Raliegh: which bash for example
[02:54] <linkcislinux> Starminn: okay I think I have an idea for you
[02:54] <scream> phix, if I launch the configurator and select the unity plugin and tell it to never hide... it still hides.
[02:54] <phix> Raliegh: that will return /bin/bash
[02:54] <Starminn> linkcislinux, :) All ears.
[02:54] <Raliegh> phix: liquidsoap, compiled for example. And oh... Uhhh, putty? I may be using wrong terminology, lol.
[02:54] <Stepnjump> the file name is thunderbird-9.0 / I do a > ls -alh thunderb*, nothing comes up, just . and ..
[02:54] <Raliegh> phix: Via SSH, it's on my server.
[02:54] <phix> Raliegh: terminal :)
[02:55] <phix> Raliegh: ok you compiled it but did you install it?
[02:55] <Raliegh> phix, of course. I can check version with liquidsoap --version, I can run scripts, etc. Just gotta find location of the installation
[02:55] <phix> Raliegh: you compiled from source?  using ./configure; make; make install?   or you mean you installing it using dpkg?
[02:55] <Raliegh> The first
[02:56] <phix> Raliegh: did you give it a prefix?   ./configure --prefix=/usr/local or something like that?
[02:56] <linkcislinux> Starminn: you said your on an ATI card right?
[02:56] <Raliegh> I did not. :/
[02:56] <phix> Raliegh: by default it should install in /usr/local
[02:56] <Starminn> linkcislinux, Yes.
[02:56] <excelsior> My laptop spontaneously died on me. I checked the power, full strength, after turning on, I checked the battery, fully charged, it's a Dell Studio 1558, any thoughts?
[02:56] <phix> Raliegh: so look in /usr/local/bin or /usr/local/sbin
[02:56] <linkcislinux> Starminn: you installed the ATI drivers through the additional software right?
[02:57] <Raliegh> Beautiful, it was in my bin. Thanks phix. :)
[02:57] <phix> Raliegh: but like i said before, you should be able to use the command which to find it
[02:57] <overclucker> Stepnjump: when you ls a directory, is show the permissions of it's contents
[02:57] <Raliegh> Which? I didn't see you say that. For future reference care to tell me how to use that command?
[02:57] <Starminn> linkcislinux, No. That window has always been empty, and says, "There are no proprietary...blahblahblah". The drivers "just worked" out of the box.
[02:57] <phix> Stepnjump: ok, so it isnt a file it is a directory :)
[02:58] <phix> Stepnjump: yeah if you use -a with ls then look at ., that will be the Thunderbird directory
[02:58] <overclucker> Stepnjump: see if ls -lha | grep thunderbird
[02:58] <Raliegh> !which
[02:58] <linkcislinux> Starminn: okay I think you need to install the ATI driver from the website. I know before I had to install the one from the website otherwise I couldnt even run gnome shell. Something about the normal ATI driver Ubuntu uses has issues with gnome shell
[02:58] <phix> Raliegh: man which
[02:58] <phix> Raliegh: which liquidsoap
[02:58] <Raliegh> I'd love one phix, you cooking?
[02:58] <Raliegh> Ooooh, not Manwich
[02:58] <Raliegh> Liquidsoap 1.0.0
[02:59] <phix> hehe
[02:59] <phix> Raliegh: ROFL! NO TYPE IN THIS --> which liquidsoap
[03:00] <phix> This feels like I am trying to tell you someones name is who but you keep saying who what? I was asking oyu
[03:00] <Raliegh> Lolwat? xD Anyways, that worked... Weird thing is, there's two liquidsoap files in here. Both named the same. One is smaller than the other, so I'm going to assume the larger one is the actual one called.
[03:00] <overclucker> wow, i really need to proof read my messages before firing them off
[03:00] <phix> Raliegh: it will execute the one that is defined in the PATH environmental variable first
[03:00] <phix> Raliegh: echo $PATH to see the order
[03:00] <Raliegh> I mean, one is 5.6mb and the other is 146kb
[03:00] <Raliegh> Ahh, okay.
[03:01] <phix> Raliegh: Is there any reason why you compiled from source?  isn't it available in the repository
[03:01] <Raliegh> phix, the one available in the repository is broken for Ubuntu 11.04
[03:02] <Raliegh> Apparently it's a popular thing I didn't know about.
[03:02] <linkcislinux> alright im out for the night, everyone have a goodnight
[03:02] <phix> Raliegh: ok, if you are getting two executes shown when using the which command you should probably uninstall the ubuntu one
[03:02] <Raliegh> Not sure why, but I sent an e-Mail to the Savonet users list and they said it's a popular thing and to do it from source. I did, and it works now. :D
[03:03] <Raliegh> And honestly I did "apt-get autoremove liquidsoap" before I compiled and installed.
[03:03] <phix> Raliegh: ok
[03:03] <phix> Raliegh: type this in -->  dpkg -l | grep -i liquidsoap
[03:03] <Raliegh> Don't know what that other file is there, if it's supposed to be there, etc. But it works so I'll just look the other way. ;)
[03:04] <Raliegh> Shows my "liGuidesoap" and "liquidsoap". Both the newer versions.
[03:04] <phix> Raliegh: also, there is the media ubuntu repository which has newer version of media type software as well as DVD decryption :)
[03:05] <phix> Raliegh: it has rc or ii at the start of the line?
[03:05] <Raliegh> ii for liguidsoap (should be, I installed liguidsoap, the GUI, via apt-get), and rc for liquidsoap
[03:05] <phix> Raliegh: ok good
[03:06] <phix> Raliegh: ok type in dpkg -L liGuidesoap | grep -i liquidsoap
[03:06] <phix> Raliegh: it might be assigned to that package,
[03:07] <phix> Raliegh: any way, just change the PATH order in your .bashrc to use the /usr/local version first
[03:07] <phix> or delete / rename the other one
[03:07] <ovhan> any ubuntu server users here who also run a minecraft server
[03:08] <xangua> !anyone | ovhan there is also #ubuntu-server
[03:08] <Raliegh> Nope, doesn't. And yeah everything works, I'm just trying to get my "script.liq" to run and auto-execute whenever called upon, instead of using SSH to "liquidsoap script.liq" so I had to get the variable.
[03:08] <excelsior> My laptop spontaneously died on me. I checked the power, full strength, after turning on, I checked the battery, fully charged, it's a Dell Studio 1558, any thoughts?
[03:08] <ovhan> oh , ty xang didnt know
[03:08] <Raliegh> I just ran this command: "chmod u+x myscript.liq" and tried "./script.liq" but now I'm getting: ./script.liq: not found
[03:08] <Raliegh> Even though it's right there. I'm staring at it. :P
[03:09] <truepurple>  Is there a way to stop a installation in progress through the software manager?
[03:10] <truepurple> please reply if you see this
[03:10] <phix> ovhan: no mate I don't user ubuntu for any servers and I don't use minecraft, at all
[03:11] <phix> Raliegh: so you changed the permission on myscript.liq but you tried to execute script.liq?
[03:11] <ovhan> np all im heading to the server chat , ty xangua
[03:11] <ovhan> ciao
[03:12] <Raliegh> phix Yeah, I basically just ran that chmod they told me to on the savonet site, haha. What exactly did I do? I can't run "./script.liq" anymore (even though before it just returned errors of course).
[03:13] <phix> Raliegh: chmod u+x script.liq
[03:13] <phix> ./script.liq
[03:13] <Starminn> I am experiencing issues with accessing gnome-look.org on Ubuntu 11.10, GNOME Shell, with Firefox, Opera, Chromium, and Chrome. Assistance?
[03:13] <Raliegh> phix that's what I did, now it doesn't work
[03:13] <truepurple> How about this, can anyone think of a reason my internet connection might get messed up out of the blue and require " sudo ifdown eth0;sudo ifup eth0 " to fix it?
[03:14] <phix> Raliegh: chmod 755 script.liq
[03:14] <Raliegh> It's already at 777 phix
[03:14] <Raliegh> Do note I ran "sudo chmod blablabla"
[03:15] <phix> Raliegh: ok, so who is the file owned by? root or your user you are trying to run it as?
[03:16] <LABcrab> Hey!  Why is my Internet so slow?
[03:16] <Raliegh> phix To be honest I'm not entirely sure.
[03:16] <LABcrab> In Ubuntu it is slow like dial-up but it's supposed to be 1000 Kbit/s!
[03:17] <phix> LABcrab: Because you typed google into google and broke the Internet
[03:17] <LABcrab> phix: aww.
[03:17] <Daxter> LABcrab: what are you using to get online
[03:17] <LABcrab> Daxter: a wireless all-in-one device that has a modem and router built-in.
[03:18] <overclucker> Raliegh: have you tried running the script as an argument of liquidsoap? liquidsoap script.liq
[03:18] <phix> LABcrab: is it raining? is the antenna on the floor? is the anntenna next to a speaker or are using a MIG welder at the same time?
[03:18] <Daxter> ah ok..i meant on the computer? are connected to all-in-one device via a wire or wireless
[03:18] <Daxter> lol phix @ welder
[03:18] <Raliegh> overclucker, that exactly what I DON'T want to do. I want to be able to run that script as a program, so I'm not limited to the terminal.
[03:19] <LABcrab> phix: It is indoors.
[03:19] <LABcrab> Daxter: Wireless.
[03:19] <LABcrab> It is  DSL with a dedicated DSL jack and the device is wireless.
[03:20] <overclucker> Raliegh: have your tried putting a shebang line as the first line of the script? #!/usr/bin/env liquidsoap
[03:21] <Raliegh> overclucker, I sure have. That's up there, but I can't seem to run it like "./script.liq"
[03:21] <Raliegh> #!/usr/local/bin
[03:21] <Daxter> ah make sure you have the latest drivers for your wireless device..linux is not very good someimtes with wireless capabilites
[03:21] <LABcrab> Daxter: i just use what comes out of the box!
[03:22] <Daxter> yeah
[03:22] <Daxter> dont blame ya
[03:22] <LABcrab> Daxter: Is that right or wrong?
[03:22] <Daxter> right only if it works
[03:22] <overclucker> Raliegh: is that your shebang line?
[03:23] <Daxter> lol
[03:23] <Raliegh> overclucker , it's actually #!/usr/local/bin/liquidsoap
[03:23] <overclucker> ok
[03:23] <Daxter> anyways there are so many variables with getting wireless to work right not sure where to start
[03:23] <Raliegh> But whenever I try ./script.liq I get: "sh: ./script.liq: not found", but I can still run it with "liquidsoap script.liq"
[03:23] <phix> Raliegh: and /usr/local/bin/liquidsoap is executable?
[03:24] <Daxter> anyone else have a fix it ssolution to his prob?
[03:24] <Raliegh> phix I would assume so... That's where that "which" command brought me.
[03:24] <Raliegh> "which liquidsoap"
[03:24] <truepurple> Can anyone see this?
[03:24] <LABcrab> Daxter: Too bad.
[03:24] <phix> Raliegh: which doesnt check for permissionsm only if it is in the path
[03:24] <Raliegh> That confused me, lol.
[03:25] <Daxter> whats the rate that the wireless is reporting? (right click network icon->connection info->speed)
[03:27] <Daxter> also what the wireless device (the one you use to connect to router that is hooked into system) model?
[03:28] <LABcrab> Daxter: 2Wire of some sort, four bars.
[03:28] <LABcrab> 54 Mbit/s.
[03:28] <Daxter> hmm
[03:28] <Daxter> with that rate you should have much more speed
[03:29] <Daxter> u using ubuntu 11.10?
[03:29] <Daxter> or what version?
[03:41] <Ass_KoB> #kobnoi
[03:43] <gao> why is php5-fpm taking up so much CPU D:
[03:44] <EvilResistance> gao:  might be misconfigured, what're you running :P
[03:47] <LABcrab> Good night!
[03:51] <pp7> how do u control the transparency of the panel through your theme, not ccsm unity section?
[03:52] <Stepnjump> sorry overclucker, yes that works good ls -lha | grep thunderbird. I was away from the computer
[03:52] <Metroshica> Currently my machine is hosting three services, a minecraft server, tf2 server and torrent server. It has more than enough memory and it seems to have sufficient cpu power (which has two cores btw). Usually I have a system load of .10 to .30, so there's not much of an issue. However, when a file is downloading on the torrent server, the system load can spike to 4.0 or higher, and this obviously causes issues. The memory usage stays low, as does the cpu us
[03:52] <Metroshica> age, but apparently there must be too many requests on the torrent server. Is there an in-depth way that I can see what is driving the system load up?
[03:53] <Rogue|Panda_> hello
[03:53] <Raliegh> Alright, who wants to help me figure out this script.liq not found stuff? I'm trying it through GUI now. When I double click it it prompts me to execute it... But when it does it says "failed to execute child process '/home/script.liq/'. It obviously exists there... I just clicked it. I have a "Shebang" setup in the script.
[03:53] <Raliegh> It is owned to my user, not root.
[03:53] <Rogue|Panda_> trying to connect to a router and my machine just seems to not want to I have no clue why not
[03:54] <Rogue|Panda_> just keeps popping up with a notification saying I am disconnected
[03:54] <Rogue|Panda_> anyone have any ideas on what I am doing wrong?
[03:55] <almoxarife> Rogue|Panda_: on the machine you are on?
[03:55] <Rogue|Panda_> yeha
[03:55] <almoxarife> Rogue|Panda_: the router does not accept connections or you are not using the right port
[03:56] <almoxarife> Rogue|Panda_: or you are asked for a user/password combination?
[03:56] <Rogue|Panda_> almoxarife, it is a simple little wrt54g home router
[03:57] <Rogue|Panda_> it isnt asking for any password
[03:57] <Rogue|Panda_> there is no password to give
[03:57] <Rogue|Panda_> using eth0
[03:57] <almoxarife> Rogue|Panda_: what ip are you using to connect?
[03:57] <Rogue|Panda_> ip is irrelevant, it wont connect to the network
[03:58] <Rogue|Panda_> think that I worded that wrong earlier
[03:59] <almoxarife> Rogue|Panda_: irrelevant? ic, I do hate relevancy issues, perhaps someone else will be a bit more relevant, cheers, as they say somewhere
[03:59] <Rogue|Panda_> alright then
[03:59] <Rogue|Panda_> can anyone help me try to figure out why my laptop wont connect to this network?
[03:59] <jeaton> completely off topic but does anyone here have a second generation ipod shuffle, I was hoping someone could create me an image of the drive
[04:00] <jeaton> using the dd commands
[04:01] <Rogue|Panda_> well this place is helpful
[04:02] <Rogue|Panda_> almoxarife, for the record... when trying to connect to a network, you dont type in IP addresses
[04:02] <Rogue|Panda_> but thanks for trying I guess lol
[04:03]  * almoxarife types ip's all the time and connects to networks, how odd
[04:04] <CarlFK> Rogue|Panda_: "wont connect" do you mean "the wire won't fit in the plug?
[04:04] <Rogue|Panda_> by "connect" I mean it wont "connect"
[04:04] <Stepnjump> Maybe someone could help me? I'm trying to untar a tar.bz2 into /usr/lib into a chown root:root folder? What is the tar sequence please?
[04:05] <CarlFK> Rogue|Panda_: how do you know it isn't connected?
[04:05] <Raliegh> Okay... Who wants to help me with something? I've no idea where to start. I need to make a script on one of my server to connect, login, and run a script on another one of my servers. They both run Ubuntu 11.04... How would I do this?
[04:05] <Rogue|Panda_> because of the error that says "disconnected from network"
[04:05] <Rogue|Panda_> and the fact that I never get a toast saying "connected to network"
[04:06] <CarlFK> Rogue|Panda_:  wired or wireless ?
[04:06] <Rogue|Panda_> CarlFK, eth0
[04:07] <CarlFK> Stepnjump: that's a bunch of steps. copy/paste to dpaste.de what you tried and the results
[04:07] <omaha> anyone having trouble with high cpu usage + delays when dragging/moving windows?
[04:07] <CarlFK> Rogue|Panda_: sounds like a bad cable
[04:07] <Rogue|Panda_> CarlFK, that is the first thing that I checked
[04:08] <Rogue|Panda_> grabbed a known good cable and tried that with the same issues
[04:08] <omaha> suddenly my laptop (11.10 w/ nvidia) is acting like a 386 when i try to move windows around on screen
[04:08] <Stepnjump> CarlFK, please tell me if this would be right: tar -jxvf ~/Downloads/thunderbird-8.0.tar.bz /usr/lib/thunderbird-8.0?
[04:08] <mrdeb> omaha, do u have driverfs installed
[04:08] <Stepnjump> CarlFK, or do I need to preceed it by sudo since it's a root:root chown
[04:08] <omaha> mrdeb, never heard of driverfs, guessing no?
[04:09] <mrdeb> drivers
[04:09] <CarlFK> Stepnjump: that's a bunch of steps. copy/paste to dpaste.de what you tried and the results
[04:09] <mrdeb> sorry, sometimes i do not type well
[04:09] <glad> hi, where is the synaptic package manager in Ubuntu?
[04:09] <phix> glad: /usr/bin
[04:10] <omaha> mrdeb, yes i'm running the latest nvidia proprietary drivers
[04:10] <pp7> glad: tried: sudo apt-get install synaptic ?
[04:10] <phix> pp7: it should be in there by default
[04:10] <Stepnjump> I haven't tried anything yet
[04:10] <omaha> mrdeb, nvidia-current 290.10-0ubuntu1~oneiric~xup1
[04:10] <Stepnjump> I haven't tried anything yet CarlFk
[04:10] <mrdeb> ok
[04:11] <glad> phix: sorry, where how to get to /usr/bin? i'm a noob
[04:11] <pp7> phix: i dont think so on oneiric
[04:11] <phix> pp7: oh
[04:11] <pp7> glad: what exactly are you trying to do?
[04:11] <phix> well they have ubuntu software center then
[04:11] <CarlFK> Stepnjump: what you are trying to do is more risky than I am comfortable helping with
[04:12] <Stepnjump> ok thanks CarlFK
[04:12] <phix> Stepnjump: why are you trying to install thunderbird 8 any way?  it is broken, I had to downgrade most of my clients computers to 3.1.x since vers 8 breaks alot of plugins and has bugs in it
[04:12] <mrdeb> what is newest fbird, phix
[04:12] <mrdeb> ??
[04:13] <phix> mrdeb: 8 is the latest, but it is broken
[04:14] <mrdeb> why is it broken
[04:15] <retrorex> hi
[04:15] <Stepnjump> phix, what do you mean bugs
[04:15] <Stepnjump> Wasn't Thunderbird 8 just the most recent version last?
[04:15] <phix> mrdeb: A lot of plugins (spell checker inparticular) hasnt been ported to it yet, some attachments don't appear but they do when you click on forward, working on large emails on an imao server (>20000) causes the UI to go extremely slugish, that is just off the top off my head, I did have other issue with it too
[04:16] <glad> where is /usr/bin? i'm at the Home folder
[04:16] <phix> imao = imap
[04:16] <arachan> anyone know about music player clementine?
[04:16] <Stepnjump> oh ok phix, it's a bad version!~~ ok thanks for letting me know
[04:16] <phix> mrdeb: none of these issues were present in vers 3.1.x
[04:16] <mrdeb> wow
[04:16] <mrdeb> why did they do it like this
[04:16] <retrorex> glad   cd /usr/ bin in terminal
[04:16] <mrdeb> is this beta
[04:16] <mrdeb> ?
[04:16] <phix> Stepnjump: I personally recommend sticking with 3.1.x until the bugs are fixed
[04:17] <phix> mrdeb: no sadly :(
[04:17] <Stepnjump> ok phix: I never had a problem with 9
[04:17] <retrorex> arachan clementine is a good music player ...I personally use banshee
[04:17] <Stepnjump> so I will revert back to 9
[04:17] <phix> Stepnjump: 9 is out? or you speaking of 8?
[04:17] <arachan> can anyone help me with a problem with clementine?
[04:17] <Stepnjump> No! 9 Phix
[04:18] <phix> Stepnjump: perhaps you dont use the affected plugins, dont have tens of thousands of emails and havnt noticed some attachments not appearing :)
[04:18] <Stepnjump> phix http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/
[04:18] <Stepnjump> phix are you suggesting I go back to 3.1.x?
[04:18] <phix> Stepnjump: for stability yes
[04:19] <Stepnjump> oh ok phix, could you kindly walk me on how to do that please?
[04:19] <retrorex> Ahem ..to my question .... Can I use the same kernel version after upgrading from 8 to 10.
[04:19] <Stepnjump> phix first where do I download it from?
[04:21] <arachan> anyone know about clementine music player?
[04:22] <metaspike> i know nothing more than "apt-cache show clementine" has told me
[04:22] <arachan> my 'tag fetcher' freezes almost as soon as it opens
[04:22] <Stepnjump> phix, how should I install it?
[04:22] <phix> Stepnjump: hmmmm
[04:23] <phix> looks like 8 is the default in ubuntu :/  it must be the windows verison I had all these issues with
[04:23] <Raliegh> Okay... Who wants to help me with something? I've no idea where to start. I need to make a script on one of my server to connect, login, and run a script on another one of my servers. They both run Ubuntu 11.04... How would I do this?
[04:23] <phix> Stepnjump: any reason why you were trying to install from a tar.bz2 / gz?
[04:23] <ls> join #rzeszow
[04:24] <Stepnjump> well phix, it's the only way I know to get any other version other than 9
[04:24] <Stepnjump> I'm on ubuntu 11.04 and from the repo, it automatically downloads 9
[04:24] <Stepnjump> unless you have a better idea phix
[04:24] <glad> i did "cd /usr/bin" in the terminal, now how do i open the Synaptic Package Manager?
[04:26] <Stepnjump> there you go phix, you got your answer lol
[04:26] <Stepnjump> ;)
[04:27] <arachan> tpye "synaptic" to open Synaptic Package  Manager
[04:28] <Stepnjump> phix yep, even from apt-get I get 9 darned
[04:28] <schock> hi all. i have a 2tb usb drive that Iḿ connecting to my wireless router to use as a shared drive on my home network
[04:28] <schock> iḿ connecting one machine running natty, and another that´s os x lion
[04:28] <schock> does it matter how i format the drive?
[04:28] <phix> Stepnjump: I see 8
[04:33] <cliffybx> are there got other alternatives to nautilus?
[04:33] <somsip> cliffybx: pcmanfm, thunar...loads of others
[04:33] <Stepnjump> ok phix, I found a link finally fyi http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/Mozilla-Thunderbird-v8-for-Linux/1057948436/19
[04:35] <angbermu> when I connect to a 5ghz antenna the nm-applet icon shows as I have no signal but iwconfig shows -43 dBm of signal.
[04:35] <angbermu> this doesn't happens when i connect to a 2.4 wifi
[04:37] <Stepnjump> corrupt download phix
[04:37] <angbermu> trying to find a fix for it
[04:42] <almoxarife> angbermu: does network-manager manage the 5ghz connection?
[04:43] <cliffybx> Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.TimedOut: Activation of org.freedesktop.PackageKit timed out
[04:43] <angbermu> do you mean if I use it to connect to make the connection?
[04:43] <cliffybx> how to fix this
[04:43] <Kaizen> anyone know a way to limit monthly bandwidth usage on a per user basis on 11.10 server?
[04:44] <almoxarife> angbermu: yes
[04:44] <angbermu> yes sir
[04:45] <almoxarife> angbermu: that is odd then, I would expect something of an icon too
[04:48] <angbermu> Hmm, i'll try this solution found on a bug report, it seems that installing NM from the daily trunks helped some people: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/574270
[04:50] <UFF> ciao buonanotte hackers XD
[04:52] <alejandro> can someone tell me what version of gnome this video is using? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHX9UIll014
[04:52] <alejandro> i hate unity
[04:53] <Ben64> looks like compiz or something on top of gnome
[04:53] <Pickleface> how do I use the flash version from my usb
[04:53] <alejandro> Ben64, what version of gnome? how do i install that
[04:53] <grillermo> anybody here uses yakuake?
[04:55] <pp7> nope
[04:56] <Ben64> alejandro: it could be gnome 2, or 3 in fallback mode
[04:57] <Starminn> I am experiencing major cursor lag on Ubuntu 11.10 - GNOME Shell. Suggestions?
[04:58] <soreau> Starminn: Have you checked if any process using excessive resources?
[04:58] <pp7> Starminn: what does  cat /sys/module/usbhid/parameters/mousepoll   return?
[04:59] <alejandro> Ben64, what is fallback mode?
[04:59] <soreau> pp7: usbhid?
[04:59] <Ben64> a less graphic intense version of gnome
[04:59] <pp7> soreau: yes?
[05:00] <soreau> pp7: Doesn't that assume it's a usb mouse?
[05:00] <Starminn> soreau, Nothing is using very much resources
[05:00] <pp7> soreau: not necessarily
[05:00] <soreau> Starminn: Does it help if you logout?
[05:00] <pp7> soreau: trackpad can use the usb interface
[05:00] <Starminn> pp7, 0
[05:00] <pp7> internally
[05:00] <Starminn> soreau, Nope
[05:01] <soreau> Starminn: Can you show the line from the output of 'lsusb' for your mouse?
[05:02] <soreau> pp7: Right but for example on systems using a standard PS2 mouse, that node does not exist
[05:02] <Starminn> soreau, "Bus 002 Device 002: ID 046d:c509 Logitech, Inc. Cordless Keyboard & Mouse
[05:02] <Starminn> "
[05:02] <soreau> wireless huh..
[05:02]  * Starminn nods
[05:02] <pp7> soreau: well yea but i dont know what his setup is
[05:02] <Starminn> This issue does not exist in Unity
[05:02] <Starminn> Didn't exist in 10.10 Maverick, either
[05:02] <soreau> Starminn: only in gnome-shell?
[05:02] <Starminn> soreau, Yes sir.
[05:03] <soreau> Starminn: Have you checked the settings in gnome-mouse-properties?
[05:04] <Starminn> soreau, Yes, although none of the options seem to fix it
[05:08] <webistic> hi guys
[05:08] <soreau> Starminn: I'm not really sure but it's probably gnome-shell specific. Does it work ok in fallback mode?
[05:09] <Starminn> Haven't checked.
[05:09] <Starminn> soreau, err.... (above)
[05:09] <afkal> Hola?
[05:09] <afkal> alguien de méxico?
[05:09] <Raliegh> Again,
[05:09] <Raliegh> Who wants to help me with something? I've no idea where to start. I need to make a script on one of my server to connect, login, and run a script on another one of my servers. They both run Ubuntu 11.04... How would I do this?
[05:10] <afkal> hola?
[05:10] <venkatmangudi_> Raliegh, that's a shell script you're looking for...
[05:10] <soreau> Starminn: Well if you want, you can try fallback mode and possibly use compiz if you want desktop effects
[05:10] <venkatmangudi_> Raliegh, this might not be the right channel
[05:11] <soreau> ! es | afkal
[05:11] <Starminn> soreau, What gets me, though, is that this didn't happen last time I used GNOME Shell, like 2 or 3 months ago.
[05:11] <afkal> Alguien que hable español?
[05:11] <Raliegh> venkatmangudi_, I don't know what channel to be in. This is Ubuntu, and shell scripts are made for Ubuntu in Ubuntu right? Either way, thanks for that tip, I'll look through it. :)
[05:12] <venkatmangudi_> Raliegh, your script should be fairly straightforward
[05:12] <soreau> Starminn: Maybe it would be worth filing a bug report then
[05:12] <venkatmangudi_> Raliegh, you need to setup sshkeys on both servers
[05:12] <soreau> Raliegh: maybe try #bash
[05:12] <Starminn> soreau, *nods* Where should I file it at? Just go to gnome.org and look for stuff about Reporting Bugs?
[05:12] <webistic> should I use rtorrent or libtorrent for my ubuntu server seedbox? any opinions?
[05:12] <soreau> ! bug | Starminn
[05:12] <Raliegh> venkatmangudi_, Got documentation on that? They're both servers and I always login with Putty, would that mean those 'keys' are already configured?
[05:12] <soreau> !info gnome-desktop
[05:13] <Raliegh> soreau, I'll check it out once I get to the scripting point. Thanks. :)
[05:13] <Starminn> !info gnome-shell
[05:13] <Starminn> soreau, Okay, thank you
[05:13] <venkatmangudi_> Raliegh, check this out for the sshkeys http://oreilly.com/pub/h/66
[05:14] <venkatmangudi_> and this http://pkeck.myweb.uga.edu/ssh/
[05:14] <Raliegh> Thanks, great links. I'll get on that. :D

[05:16] <triplebb> on osx10.7 I want a usenet client. anyone know what will work or how I can find out?
[05:16] <soreau> triplebb: This channel is for ubuntu linux
[05:17] <triplebb> soreau, I mean using terminal. Is there a way of telling what would work?
[05:20] <almoxarife> triplebb: oh in terminal? well that's gonna get some answers now, something really hard to use with a lot of key combinations?
[05:21] <Duker> Installed 11.10 on a 50GB ext4 parition with 10GB swap on an SSD on a system with a new mobo/cpu - seems to be sitting at a black screen, but hapilly restarts when I ctrl+alt+del.  What can I try?
[05:21] <iggy19> heyall, firefix crashed, and I right-click force-closed it, but the process is still listed in ps and it won't restart (says it is still running).  kill -9 <pid> appears to do nothing.  Advice?  TIA!
[05:22] <blackshirt> is possible to change datadir mysql to ntfs partition ??
[05:23] <almoxarife> iggy19: firefox?
[05:23] <Nicolus> I created a new user using useradd and set up his password using passwd but when i sign-in i get to see the bash terminal ($) while if i sign in using my original username i get to see the terminal starting with normal one (user$) how can i do the second one for the new account too
[05:23] <iggy19> almoxarife: yes
[05:23] <iggy19> lol firefix - that's what  I need!
[05:23] <Stanley00> Nicolus: did you make a home dir for that user?
[05:24] <Nicolus> Stanley00, I made a home directory for that user using usermod -d /home/username username but not with useradd command
[05:25] <Nicolus> from bash $ if i go $bash i get to see the normal terminal /home/username$
[05:25] <excelsior> My laptop spontaneously died on me. I checked the power, full strength, after turning on, I checked the battery, fully charged, it's a Dell Studio 1558, any thoughts?
[05:25] <Stanley00> Nicolus: ah, I see
[05:25] <Stanley00> Nicolus: you should change the default shell also
[05:26] <Nicolus> Stanley00, want to change for this user only.. as i have another user on this machine which properly opens in the same directory /home/usr
[05:26] <almoxarife> excelsior: overheated?
[05:26] <Pickleface> I keep getting an error saying \device\hardisk2\dr2 whenever I try to boot from my usb :S
[05:26] <RonWhoCares> how do I change the menu when the computer is first turned on where we choose between Ubuntu and Windws
[05:27] <iggy19> "sudo kill -9" not working.  Any thoughts?
[05:27] <Stanley00> Nicolus: I think you should remove this user, add again via "adduser" command, it has more function than useradd command
[05:28] <almoxarife> RonWhoCares: the chooser is a windows app?
[05:28] <Nicolus> how to remove a user
[05:28] <blackshirt> iggy19: are you sure #kill -9 pid not working ?
[05:28] <RonWhoCares> almoxarife: It is linux based
[05:29] <Stanley00> Nicolus: via userdel or deluser
[05:29] <almoxarife> RonWhoCares: are there more than two choices?
[05:29] <RonWhoCares> yes
[05:29] <iggy19> blackshirt: ps -e still lists the process after the kill command.  Kill command returns no output
[05:29] <RonWhoCares> previous linux versions
[05:30] <Nicolus> ok so i have to do userdel username and then useradd username -d /home/username -p myuser correct ?
[05:30] <Stanley00> Nicolus: you should use adduser, not useradd ;)
[05:31] <lorddelta> Stanley00: why?
[05:31] <almoxarife> RonWhoCares: you want to change what? the choices or the menu?
[05:31] <lorddelta> Stanley00: Just curious *shrug*
[05:31] <Stanley00> Nicolus: or use "useradd username -d /home/username -p myuser  -s bash"
[05:32] <Stanley00> lorddelta: In my opinion, adduser is easy than useradd, just it ;)
[05:32] <Stanley00> *easier*
[05:32] <lorddelta> Stanley00: Maybe. Its nice to have an easy tool, its also nice to know how to tweak everything and do it on every platform...
[05:33] <triplebb> almoxarife I dont understand. Are you talking down to me? - I remember tin and trs and wonder if they exist for mac terminal.
[05:33] <blackshirt> iggy19: can you pastebin your output ps -aux completely ??
[05:33] <inertial> I am using the ubuntu Virtuak Machine Manager utility with qemu, but when I pause a virtual machine qemu keeps running in the background and uses about 50% of my cpu.. how do I completely pause it and shut down qemu?
[05:34] <triplebb> almoxarife, they just take.. that simple command
[05:34] <pangolin> triplebb: this is an Ubuntu support channel not a "ask here if you got banned somewhere else" channel.
[05:34] <Stanley00> lorddelta: so you mean there is no "adduser" on other system? I just use ubuntu, never try other
[05:34] <almoxarife> triplebb:  no, not at all, I don't know of another 'menu' besides 'grub'
[05:35] <triplebb> pangolin, I've been on this channel a lot, for years. I've been on the mac channel for about 10 minutes once.
[05:35] <iggy19> blackshirt: can't pastebin no browser.  Firefox line is here: evo      14146  9.0 31.2 1098576 804408 ?      D    Dec27  12:17 /usr/lib/firefo
[05:35] <Stanley00> bbl
[05:35] <pangolin> triplebb: doesn't change the fact that your question is not Ubuntu related.
[05:35] <triplebb> almoxarife, well thanks for trying. I'm not looking for a menu at all. Have a happy new year.
[05:36] <lorddelta> Stanley00: I don't know about that. It caught my eye when since I was reading a Linux admin book the other day...and it mentioned useradd as being standard, adduser was Ubuntu or something...
[05:36] <pangolin> triplebb: also I don't care of you started this channel. the rules apply to everybody.
[05:36] <triplebb> pangolin, I'm sorry to have been off-topic. I've just gotten stuck with a bad Ubuntu disk. Apologies.
[05:36] <almoxarife> triplebb: looking for a mac terminal?
[05:37] <triplebb> almoxarife, no sir. And I'm off-topic. I will go there.
[05:37] <blackshirt> iggy19: maybe become zombie process :D
[05:37] <triplebb> pangolin, NP over and out
[05:38] <almoxarife> mac users seem very confused
[05:38] <lorddelta> almoxarife: lol
[05:38] <lorddelta> *one time mac user*
[05:38] <lorddelta> ;)
[05:38] <iggy19> blackshirt: is that a funny, or does that refer to a real occurance?
[05:39] <lorddelta> igg19: Zombies are real. Yes. :P (they are with processes)
[05:39] <blackshirt> iggy19: if you can kill some process with kill -9, with root access, maybe that process become zombie process
[05:40] <Duker> Any reason I would be sitting on a blank screen with no hdd activity on bootup after a fresh install of 11.10
[05:40] <almoxarife> iggy19: have you considered using the gui version of the process-viewer? I see zombies there all the time
[05:40] <lorddelta> iggy19: Basically you have to kill the parent process to kill the zombie. I'm sure there's a zombie movie reference in there somewhere...
[05:41] <iggy19> almoxarife: just fired up sytem monitor before you said that.  Show the process as "Uninterruptible".  Whatever that means.  I want my root account to be able to interrupt anyuthing it wants!
[05:41]  * almoxarife is ashamed what-so-ever of using gui in ubuntu, if I wanted it difficult I would have stuck with the coco-extented
[05:42] <blackshirt> iggy19: look at top output, and see on task part
[05:42] <lorddelta> iggy19: Have you tried sudo kill -KILL? If that doesn't work like I said you have to kill the parent.
[05:42] <venkatmangudi_> Duker, ctrl f7 ?
[05:42] <zielony_> can u tell me more about /rofs ?
[05:42] <almoxarife> iggy19: in terminal start system moniter with gksu and kill away
[05:42] <almoxarife> monitor
[05:42] <venkatmangudi_> do you see the output on the tty?
[05:42] <venkatmangudi_> iggy19, you can also use top in a terminal
[05:43] <iggy19> okay, too many good ideas at once.
[05:43] <lorddelta> iggy19: I prefer ps -C NAMEOFPROCESS myself...
[05:43] <iggy19> More info first: I see a debconf-communi as a zombie process; is that likely to be related?
[05:44] <almoxarife> iggy19: get in touch with the gui, embrace the gui, the gui wants to be your friend, terminal is useful, buts like 1970
[05:44] <lorddelta> almoxarife: wtf?
[05:44] <almoxarife> lorddelta: I did not understand the question
[05:45] <ronin___> Hi, how can I add my gmail account to thunderbird?
[05:45] <lorddelta> almoxarife: Sounds like you're making fun of gui's as being for hippies. =/
[05:45] <iggy19> almoxarife: I like both.  I like simplicity.  But, cli does channel the direct power of GOD.
[05:45] <venkatmangudi_> almoxarife, I don't quite agree with you. Unity has been killing me.
[05:45] <mysteriousdarren> almoxarife: I get your thought, but your also right
[05:45] <almoxarife> lorddelta: no, I am a 100% gui user if at all possible
[05:45] <venkatmangudi_> at least they an't screw with terminal
[05:45] <venkatmangudi_> :)
[05:45] <mysteriousdarren> venkatmangudi_: why still use it then? lxde is awesome!
[05:46] <lorddelta> almoxarife: Ah. Well. That's fine. Just 99% of Linux users heartily disagree with you, even if they like/love compiz (I do)
[05:46] <iggy19> venkatmangudi_: can you explain how I might use top to solve this problem?
[05:46] <almoxarife> lorddelta: no like compiz, compiz is evil
[05:46] <venkatmangudi_> i am refusing to upgrade to 11.10, and on my netbook am using xubuntu
[05:46] <venkatmangudi_> iggy19, i am assuming you're killing a process in top?
[05:47] <venkatmangudi_> iggy19, top will give you the list of processes
[05:47] <venkatmangudi_> iggy19, pressing k will ask you for PID
[05:47] <metaspike> or just use htop
[05:47] <venkatmangudi_> iggy19, then you either use 15 (default) or 9 ...
[05:47] <venkatmangudi_> i've noticed that 15 leads to an incomplete kill... a true kill is achieved with 9
[05:48] <almoxarife> iggy19: did you try system-monitor with gksu? you should be able to bring down the system one process at a time with it
[05:48] <venkatmangudi_> :0
[05:48] <goddard> does Eclipse have a Unity menu i can install?
[05:49] <iggy19> almoxarife: trying to learn other options before I try that route, since I'm already familair with it.
[05:49] <almoxarife> iggy19: cool, if you find a way to kill a zombie process I would like to know
[05:49] <iggy19> venkatmangudi_: top does not list the ff process?  How to make it show more than a subset of processes
[05:49] <iggy19> ?
[05:50] <motahareh_> salam
[05:50] <blackshirt> iggy19: look at zombie task
[05:50] <blackshirt> motahareh_: salam
[05:50] <BlueProtoman> How come I don't see new software in the Ubuntu 11.04 Software Center?  It's been the same listing ever since I installed Ubuntu.
[05:51] <motahareh_> salammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
[05:51] <blackshirt> !flood | motahareh_
[05:51] <almoxarife> cat?
[05:51] <lorddelta> almoxarife: PM?
[05:52] <venkatmangudi_> iggy19, tried everyring here? http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/show-all-running-processes-in-linux/
[05:52] <MahaVishnu> can I use nfs on open internet or is sshfs better ?
[05:52] <almoxarife> lorddelta: wait one
[05:52] <motahareh_> hi blackshirt
[05:52] <iggy19> venkatmangudi_: no browser to browse with. lol
[05:52] <Nicolus> Stanley00,done using chsl :)
[05:52] <motahareh_> I want xchat 2.0.8
[05:52] <blackshirt> hi motahareh_
[05:52] <venkatmangudi_> ah-ha
[05:53] <venkatmangudi_> hold on... let's get this fixed
[05:53] <iggy19> hitting k in top is likely the same as sudo kill -9 pid, which is what failed initially.  Anyway, it didn't work....
[05:53] <motahareh_> whrer can I get it?
[05:53] <motahareh_> wherer can I get it?
[05:53] <motahareh_> where can I get it?
[05:53] <motahareh_> do you know?
[05:53] <BlueProtoman> How come I don't see new software in the Ubuntu 11.04 Software Center?  It's been the same listing ever since I installed Ubuntu.
[05:54] <blackshirt> motahareh_ are you sure for that version ??
[05:54] <motahareh_> yes
[05:54] <blackshirt> it was too old :D
[05:54] <venkatmangudi_> iggy19, i came in late to the game
[05:54] <motahareh_> I know
[05:54] <almoxarife> lorddelta: pm goes to /dev/null :)
[05:54] <venkatmangudi_> can I trouble you to give m another quick intro to your problem
[05:55] <motahareh_> but I'm student and want to study about it's
[05:55] <motahareh_> vulnerability
[05:55] <lorddelta> almoxarife: Oh?
[05:55] <blackshirt> motahareh_: you can look at http://xchat.org/files/source/2.0/
[05:55] <blackshirt> choose your version needed
[05:55] <venkatmangudi_> iggy19, this is the problem? heyall, firefix crashed, and I right-click force-closed it, but the process is still listed in ps and it won't restart (says it is still running).  kill -9 <pid> appears to do nothing.  Advice?  TIA!
[05:55] <lorddelta> almoxarife: *sigh* didn't mean to aggravate you...oh wellz.
[05:56] <motahareh_> thanks alot
[05:56] <motahareh_> :)
[05:56] <iggy19> venkatmangudi_: yes.  thank you
[05:56] <venkatmangudi_> did you try killall firefox?
[05:56] <iggy19> what is cli command for system-monitor?  so I can start it w/ gksudo?
[05:57] <almoxarife> iggy19: gksu gnome-system-monitor
[05:57] <venkatmangudi_> gnome-system-monitor
[05:58] <blackshirt> iggy19, switch to root, run top, or ps to see all process, run kill -9 to the dead pid, or parent of them, or you can reload init
[05:58] <venkatmangudi_> iggy19, gnome-system-monitor
[05:58] <iggy19> venkatmangudi_: killall - I did not know that command.  Just tried it.  Says no firefix process.  Can I give it a wildcard (*)?
[05:58] <venkatmangudi_> that's the system monitor
[05:58] <venkatmangudi_> firefox?
[05:59] <venkatmangudi_> maybe i is the problem instead of o?
[05:59] <lorddelta> ps aux | grep -i "myprocessname" <-- lovely short to keep you apprised of stuff that's running without paging through lots of stuff
[05:59] <iggy19> damn, I keep making that typo tonight, but not in the killall window - I'm looking at it now
[05:59] <venkatmangudi_> killall -g firefox
[06:00] <iggy19> "firefox: no process found"
[06:00] <iggy19> sysmonitor and ps both show it though
[06:00] <lorddelta> Believe ps
[06:00] <Yuyo> hello all. i'm running a ubuntu instance in amazon's EC2. i enabled ufw but forgot to allow for connections to port 22. so now my connection has been lost, and i can't reconnect using ssh. what can i do?
[06:00] <lorddelta> Don't believe killall
[06:01] <venkatmangudi_> and kill -9 pid doesn't kill it?
[06:01] <lorddelta> killall likes sometimes (I forget why exactly)
[06:01] <blackshirt> iggy19: i think you have successfully kill it :D
[06:02] <iggy19> blackshirt: I have now appeared to have killed it.  Wish I knew what did it!
[06:02] <venkatmangudi_> ps axf|grep firefox
[06:02] <blissi> iggy19, just use windows
[06:02] <blissi> less hassle
[06:02] <blissi> just works etc
[06:02] <iggy19> F***CK!!
[06:03] <iggy19> blissi: different hassles
[06:03] <venkatmangudi_> iggy19, why the swearing? found something?
[06:03] <iggy19> okay, so I don't see the ff process is in system-monitor, but I do still see it when I do that ps axf|grep firefox command
[06:03] <iggy19> found that this process won't die!
[06:04] <venkatmangudi_> and when you  kill -9 processid
[06:04] <venkatmangudi_> sudo?
[06:04] <iggy19> yeah, that's where this started.  It don't work.  Yeah, sudo.
[06:04] <iggy19> vo@Evolution:~$ ps axf|grep firefox
[06:04] <iggy19> 13736 pts/6    S+     0:00              |       \_ grep --color=auto firefox
[06:04] <iggy19> 14146 ?        D     12:17 /usr/lib/firefox-3.6.17/firefox-bin
[06:04] <venkatmangudi_> if you're still using the gui, log out?
[06:05] <venkatmangudi_> should close all processes
[06:05] <iggy19> evo@Evolution:~$ sudo kill -9 14146
[06:05] <iggy19> evo@Evolution:~$
[06:05] <iggy19> Oh yeah, I can fix this by rebooting.  Would love to know how to recover from FF crashing w/o having to reboot/logout though.
[06:05] <Yuyo> any pointers for my problem?
[06:06] <venkatmangudi_> it is in uninterruptible sleep state
[06:06] <venkatmangudi_> PROCESS STATE CODES
[06:06] <venkatmangudi_>        Here are the different values that the s, stat and state output
[06:06] <venkatmangudi_>        specifiers (header "STAT" or "S") will display to describe the state of
[06:06] <venkatmangudi_>        a process:
[06:06] <venkatmangudi_>        D    uninterruptible sleep (usually IO)
[06:06] <FloodBot1> venkatmangudi_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:06] <venkatmangudi_> iggy19,
[06:06] <iggy19> back in the day root owned the system and could make processes pay attenetion.  Apparently discipline is slipping these days.
[06:07] <basic`> bad disk?
[06:07] <venkatmangudi_> i just pasted the output from man
[06:07] <basic`> try lsof
[06:07] <basic`> check kern.log/dmesg for a softlock
[06:07] <iggy19> hmmm... yes, uniterruptrible, that's what system-monitor says.  But it's not asking me for any input.
[06:08] <iggy19> Don't know what IO it'd be looking for
[06:08] <motahareh_> excuse me blackshirt
[06:08] <venkatmangudi_>  disk, probably... HDD activity?
[06:08] <motahareh_> it want glib
[06:08] <metaspike> iggy19,  killall firefox, you can renice a running process to increase its priority
[06:08] <blissi> !ops I need to reinstall wondows,,  help pl0x!
[06:08] <metaspike> or just run it with nice
[06:08] <motahareh_> do you know about it's error
[06:08] <blissi> !ops
[06:08] <blissi> I need to reinstall wondows,,  help pl0x!
[06:09] <iggy19> metaspike: killall not working.  Any thoughts on how to kill a process in state "D" a/k/a "Uninterruptible"?
[06:09] <venkatmangudi_> interesting problem iggy19 hopefully I will learn something as well
[06:10] <basic`> iggy19, lsof -p 14146
[06:10] <iggy19> basic`: reading man page now
[06:10] <venkatmangudi_> Zombie processes can not be killed with the normal commands like “kill -9 PID”, you will have to reboot the system to kill them.
[06:10] <basic`> should give you the list of what the process accessing
[06:10] <metaspike> you could send it a different signal prehaps... killall -s 9 firefox
[06:10] <venkatmangudi_> not sure if that is true
[06:10] <blackshirt> motahareh_ : what error ??
[06:10] <venkatmangudi_> but saw that when i searched for help
[06:11] <basic`> venkatmangudi_, zombies' are Z not D
[06:11] <basic`> ?
[06:11] <iggy19> basic: pages of open files
[06:11] <iggy19> some local, some network sockets
[06:11] <metaspike> or killall -s 15... you could kill all processes for that user also... killall -u $USER
[06:11] <GJHTYAS> hi
[06:12] <metaspike> killem all :)
[06:12] <NICK39387> asdf
[06:12] <NICK39387> hi
[06:12] <venkatmangudi_> sudo killall -9 firefox-bin
[06:12] <basic`> iggy19, yeah that's interesting - something is keeping it waiting
[06:12] <iggy19> metaspike: trying to kill ff while keeping the rest of the sytem uo
[06:12] <NICK39387> yeah kill them
[06:12] <venkatmangudi_> that was one solution
[06:12] <iggy19> *up
[06:12] <NICK39387> let me guess.. kills who ?
[06:12] <basic`> iggy19, anything in dmesg pertaining to firefox?
[06:12] <skegeek> I just ran X Diagnostic and the screen froze at CPU/Clock testing, but the CD/DVD light was flashing and I could hear it trying to read a disc. Does this shed any light on random freezing issues?
[06:12] <metaspike> killall buggy software v_v   ever wonder why ubuntu doesn't have apt-listbugs?
[06:12] <venkatmangudi_> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/694720/how-is-it-possible-that-kill-9-for-a-process-on-linux-has-no-effect
[06:12] <Duker> venkatmangudi_, ctrl f7 seems to do nothing, only ctrl + alt +delete seems to work
[06:13] <venkatmangudi_> bunch of suggestions there
[06:13] <sammy> here's a good one: `getent passwd` only shows my /etc/passwd users. `getent passwd ldapusername` will show a user in my ldap databse through nss. but the users in ldap aren't showing when I just do 'getent passwd'
[06:13] <venkatmangudi_> looks like lot of ppl have this issue with firefox
[06:13] <venkatmangudi_> Duker, in that case we have gnome issue
[06:13] <iggy19> basic`: how would I look at that? (dmesg)
[06:14] <venkatmangudi_> Duker, i used to get the same problem in 11.10 till i gave up on Unity and used xfce
[06:14] <venkatmangudi_> iggy19, looks like a common issue
[06:14] <lalagirl> hi
[06:14] <inertial> anyone know how to pause a VM using Virtual Machine Manager with qemu?
[06:15] <goddard> does Eclipse have a Unity menu i can install?
[06:15] <Duker> So whats the easiest way to remedy gnome issues?
[06:15] <goddard> Duker: dont use it :D
[06:15] <iggy19> looking like I'm going to reboot, as I have been doing in this situation for weeks, so that I can continue to deal with the OTHER issues I wanted to work on tonight, that are actually more problematic for me.
[06:15] <venkatmangudi_> The STAT column says "D", which means "Uninterruptible sleep". A process in this state cannot be killed at all. Is your home directory NFS mounted or is Firefox accessing an NFS directory in some other way?
[06:15] <metaspike> Duker, what goddard said
[06:15] <skegeek> I'd really like to figure out this freezing...it's pretty anti-productive.
[06:15] <pp7> Duker: too generic a question
[06:15] <tanath> anyone know a way to convert magnet links & info hashes to .torrent files?
[06:15] <iggy19> home is not NFS
[06:15] <metaspike> skegeek, fresh install?
[06:16] <venkatmangudi_> ps axopid,comm,wchan" might show you which kernel routine Firefox is stuck inside
[06:16] <iggy19> home is crypted and residing on a LUKS-->dm-crypt partition
[06:16] <venkatmangudi_> all from that link i posted earlier
[06:16] <venkatmangudi_> well, then home might have become inaccessible to firefox?
[06:16] <tanath> i thought there was a site that did that, but having trouble finding it. only finding stuff that does the reverse.
[06:16] <motahareh_> exact error that occured. This usually means GLIB is incorrectly installed.
[06:16] <motahareh_> configure: error: "Cannot find glib"
[06:16] <skegeek> This has been a fresh install
[06:16] <venkatmangudi_> Duker, I stopped using gnome and started using xfce
[06:16] <metaspike> 11.04?
[06:16] <iggy19> home still accessible to me
[06:17] <skegeek> If it helps, I have Intel Mobile 965 Express Chipset for video
[06:17] <paijo> iggy19: exactly, what is your problem ?
[06:17] <Duker> How can I start using xfce? Different distro?
[06:17] <Duker> Easiest way rather
[06:18] <i_is_broke> Duker, try installing it.
[06:18] <sammy> Duker: im late to the party; whats your gnome issue?
[06:18] <venkatmangudi_> iggy19, from what i see in that link, the OP had a problem with a plugin
[06:18] <skegeek> Duker:  for Xfce you want xubuntu desktop, it's in the repositories.
[06:18] <Duker> Just installed 11.10 on an SSD, booting to blank screen after post
[06:18] <venkatmangudi_> and the last command I pasted allos you to find out which routine
[06:19] <jiltdil> Duker, sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[06:19] <iggy19> venkatmangudi_: ps axopid,comm,wchan shows: 14146 firefox-bin sync_page
[06:19] <venkatmangudi_> iggy19, so sync_page is the routine that is keeping FF in D state
[06:19] <jiltdil> Duker, and after installing it select it from login session to use
[06:19] <paijo> Duker: you can install xubuntu
[06:19] <sammy> tanath: maybe your torrent program can save a .torrent file after youve connected to the torrent. I think technically your torrent program downloads the .torrent from other peers using the magnet link and DHT, so your client should have a local copy of the .torrent file somewhere. but I poked around and couldn't find anything. you'd have more luck asking in a torrent-specific forum
[06:19] <venkatmangudi_> means it's trying to write to your disk or something
[06:19] <iggy19> sadly, means nothing to me.  ;-(
[06:19] <metaspike> skegeek, i think it is an atrocity that a linux ditrobution could randomly freeze. if it's worth anything. i suggest you ctrl + alt+ f4 then - sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && reboot - (drop to terminal, update system) . in all likelyhood, you would have better luck with 10.04. what are you running?! mint? 11.04??
[06:20] <venkatmangudi_> in the .firefox or .mozilla folder
[06:20] <tanath> sammy, the torrent client won't be running where i get the links
[06:20] <iggy19> died with a failed disk write, eh?
[06:20] <skegeek> I installed 11.10 via Wubi, I didn't realize it would be setup with an unstable system
[06:20] <iggy19> that's actually likely.  The issue I'm trying to solve before this is a full /home
[06:20] <venkatmangudi_> iggy19, probably
[06:21] <Duker> What do I press to get the login selection to come up? Or grub selection or anything at all? Will get xubuntu iso now
[06:21] <tanath> sammy, i want to be able to remotely send torrent files to the watched folder from magnet links & infohashes
[06:21] <venkatmangudi_> if you're using grub2 (most likely) press shift during bootup to see the grub menu
[06:21] <goddard> Duker: whats wrong with Unity?
[06:21] <tanath> sammy, including from phone. which means i wouldn't have a .torrent file that way
[06:21] <sammy> tanath: youd have to have a torrent client somewhere along the line connect to the DHT and download the .torrent file from the cloud first
[06:21] <venkatmangudi_> iggy19, therein lies your problem
[06:21] <Yuyo> anyone know which files i can edit to change firewall configurations, for ufw?
[06:21] <iggy19> I'm going to reboot so I can have a browser, then be back to discuss how to resize home.
[06:21] <venkatmangudi_> :) a reboot will help
[06:22] <metaspike> skegeek, no where where not, and people arent being informed properly before they install of how many bugs there are, and there's no bug report tool in the system that i can see (like in debian). so i guess, if you want to use ubuntu, you will have better luck with 10.04
[06:22] <sammy> tanath: what client is watching hte folder? maybe you can use a command line somehow to feed it the magnet link
[06:22] <skegeek> Ok.
[06:22] <metaspike> noone where aware*
[06:22] <tanath> sammy, deluge
[06:22] <urlin2u> metaspike, general fud goes no where.
[06:22] <Duker> Goddard, just installed 11.10 on a new machine, getting just a blank screen after POST
[06:22] <iggy19> ALL: Thank you so very much for your assistance!  I'll be back after reboot.
[06:22] <goddard> Duker: oh bummer
[06:22] <tanath> sammy, not setting up the means to run commands remotely. just upload files
[06:22] <Duker> Holding shift didnt get me anywhere
[06:22] <Duker> =/
[06:22] <goddard> Duker: any idea why?
[06:22] <skegeek> I'll uninstall 11.10 and get 10.04 instead. However, does 10.04 have the vertical left panel?
[06:23] <goddard> 11.10 is fine
[06:23] <goddard> it just takes some tweaking for some people
[06:23] <skegeek> It keeps randomly freezing on me and I cannot figure out why.
[06:23] <venkatmangudi_> Duker, 11.10 is ok if a fresh install. burnt my fingers on an upgrade.
[06:23] <metaspike> urlin2u, ? general fud? im saying there's no tool for reading bugs and no disclosure of bugs before installation... am I wrong?
[06:23] <Duker> Goddard, No idea why - can't even boot into my previoud 11.04 partition
[06:24] <Duker> Upgraded my mobo/cpu/ram, would that change things?
[06:24] <sammy> tanath: gotcha. just trying to find a way since there's no file to upload if all you have is a magnet link :P
[06:24] <goddard> Duker: ya i would say so
[06:24] <tanath> sammy, yeah... could have sworn i saw a service that did it once...
[06:24] <urlin2u> metaspike, your comments are bised in every sense.
[06:24] <skegeek> Being that Ubuntu is marketed as an easy-to-use system, I don't think tweaking should be required to avoid freezing.
[06:24] <goddard> Duker: does a live cd work?
[06:24] <venkatmangudi_> Duker, you don't need a bigger system for 11.10
[06:24] <sammy> tanath: if you use deluge's web interface you could add the magnet uri remotely from there
[06:24] <tanath> sammy, hmm
[06:25] <Duker> I know, I happened to be upgrading my system, and am doing the 11.04 ->11.10 upgrade now
[06:25] <tanath> sammy, completely forgot it had that. ty
[06:25] <sammy> tanath: the webui is nice. cheers
[06:25] <Duker> live CD works
[06:25] <tanath> sammy, simplifies some other things too
[06:25] <goddard> Duker: then something is messed up with install configuration im guessing
[06:25] <bullgard4> [Ubuntu 11.10 GNOME Shell 3.2.1] I am recording an internet radio stream. Why can I not hear it at the same time? Pressing Windows-key > gnome-control-center > Audio > Applications > ALSA plugin [firefox] is not muted. (Last night it worked.)
[06:26] <goddard> Duker: upgrades are always dangerous :D
[06:26] <Duker> Goddard I know =/
[06:26] <goddard> Duker: i always have a seperate home partition
[06:27] <goddard> Duker: and it isn't to hard to setup in Ubuntu
[06:27] <Duker> Goddard, I have a working 11.04 one, but I cant get into it for some reason
[06:27] <goddard> Duker: you sure you didn't delete it?
[06:27] <wirefrozen1> Got a stupid ?... Is it typical that a persistent distro would crash if u use a 2nd usb for storage
[06:27] <goddard> Duker: so is it a grub issue?
[06:27] <goddard> wait
[06:27] <wirefrozen1> ubuntu 10,4
[06:28] <Duker> goddard Yup, quite sure I didnt delete it - I have 3 hdds and 2 sdds attached, didnt even touch the old stuff with the installer
[06:28] <metaspike> what im saying is base-system bugs should be discloused -before- installation, there should be a way to read about regression bugs and that there should be a tool to read about bugs on the existing system like apt-listbugs. it's not fud, it's sensibility.
[06:28] <urlin2u> wirefrozen1, a usb loaded with a persistent casper-tw?
[06:28] <urlin2u> casoer-rw
[06:28] <wirefrozen1> yes.
[06:29] <wirefrozen1> casper
[06:29] <urlin2u> wirefrozen1, that casper fills up and is difficult to clean if you update to much it can crash it is just running off the iso.
[06:30] <wirefrozen1> how do i talk at you urlin
[06:30]  * wirefrozen1 asks
[06:30] <urlin2u> wirefrozen1, type part if my nbic then hit the tab.
[06:30] <urlin2u> nic
[06:30] <wirefrozen1> urlin2u, nice
[06:30] <wirefrozen1> sorry its been a while
[06:31] <wirefrozen1> i have a 3.1gb partition
[06:31] <wirefrozen1> its the persistent partition of a cruzer usb disk
[06:31] <wirefrozen1> it is INACCESSIBLE.
[06:32] <urlin2u> wirefrozen1, exactly, if you have a larger usb you can make a casper partition and have it be larger.
[06:32] <lorddelta> wirefrozen1: Good for it?
[06:32] <wirefrozen1> good for a bigger usb?
[06:32] <wirefrozen1> urlin2u, the one i have is 16
[06:33] <wirefrozen1> Unetbootin would not create a larger partition that would boot persistent
[06:34] <urlin2u> wirefrozen1, http://www.pendrivelinux.com/create-a-larger-than-4gb-casper-partition/
[06:34] <mah454> in gnome-3.2 : nautilus crashed  ! in terminal receive this message :  http://pastebin.com/pJabh2rG
[06:34] <mah454> How can fix this problem ?
[06:34] <wirefrozen1> urlin2u, love it
[06:34] <wirefrozen1> thx brb
[06:34] <NICK39387> is there a way to choose what is to be installed on a server base install ?
[06:35] <wirefrozen1> urlin2u, exactly where the hell do you keep ur urls? that was fast
[06:35] <wirefrozen1> lol
[06:35] <lorddelta> mah454: Restart nautilus?
[06:35] <lorddelta> mah454: if you think its a persistent issue, you can report it as a bug.
[06:35] <metaspike> mah454, segmentation fault? that's nasty!
[06:35] <sammy> metaspike: im pretty sure there's a huge changelog put out every ubuntu version with a list of regressoins and major bugs that haven't been fixed, you can always search for bugs pertaining to a particular package on the web. i think the vast number of oustanding bugs on any system is so large that revewing every bug for every installed package upon installation/update would be kind of impractical
[06:35] <urlin2u> wirefrozen1, I just typed it I new where it was I had used this method a couple of years ago,.
[06:36] <mah454> lorddelta, yes i restart nautilus
[06:37] <lorddelta> wirefrozen1: He might not be using firefox B) he might be really fast with a mouse/trackball C) He has it in emacs?
[06:37] <lorddelta> wirefrozen1: What'd be really neat is if he'd assigned them to keyboard shortcuts...tricky..but possible.
[06:38] <lorddelta> mah454: And does it always crash immediately? Or randomly after an interval of variable time?
[06:39] <lorddelta> sammy: Sad but true. One would think they'd vet packages by numbers of bugs...
[06:39] <sue_> hi. I upgraded to 10.04 LTS, from 9.10. I can't get the gnome-screensaver to activate anymore.. I even set it to 1 minute and waited and it doesn't work. I checked and the gnome-screensaver process is running. any ideas?
[06:39] <bullgard4> [Ubuntu 11.10 GNOME Shell 3.2.1] I am recording an internet radio stream. Why can I not hear it at the same time? Pressing Windows-key > gnome-control-center > Audio > Applications > ALSA plugin [firefox] is not muted. (Last night it worked.)
[06:40] <metaspike> sammy, thanks, there are reports but they are obsucred from the mainstream of ubuntu access. someone searches for ubuntu, they are in the ubuntu download page in three clicks and the standard setting is 11.04, if there is any detail about the umpteen system critical bugs with this release they are in fineprint. also, in practice, yes, it sounds complicated, but with so much information on bugs being reported- the actual implimentation wo
[06:41] <metaspike> sue_ does xscreensaver-demo   in console do anything?
[06:41] <lorddelta> bullgard4: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting <-- Invaluable help
[06:41] <lorddelta> Also running alsamixer is a good way to check for problems.
[06:41] <sue_> metaspike, 1 minute, it wasn't installed
[06:41] <metaspike> sue- the xscreensaver packages handle the screensaver.
[06:42] <sue_> I have the gnome-screensaver package
[06:42] <sue_> I tried xscreensaver but it didn't have the cosmos screensaver I liked
[06:42] <sammy> metaspike: bugs posted on launchpad are obscured from the mainstream of ubuntu access? oh I see what you're saying. anyone who is going to try out a new operating system and not dig deep enough to learn that ubuntu's releases are created from debian packages that aren't marked stable... dont knock ubuntu  is all i'm saying, knock the user who wants their computer to just work like some sort of one-click toaster. windows doesn't work that way, nothing wor
[06:43] <metaspike> sue_, sudo apt-get install xscreensaver-gl && sudo apt-get install xscreensaver-gl-extra
[06:44] <lorddelta> I run bleeding edge myself....probably lots of unnecessary bugs and headaches I suppose, but the problems have a habit of disappearing.
[06:44] <sammy> so, who in the ubuntu support channel on freenode in the wee hours of most of the english speaking world is using ldap to server user data with nss and can identify my issue ;)
[06:45] <lorddelta> (though I stay away from alphas. I'm traumatized by the possibility they might change Unity again...and that can lead to a day's worth of repair)
[06:46] <lorddelta> sammy: I don't know which part of the world you live in, but I know if you wait for about 3 more hours people start waking up again
[06:47] <metaspike> lorddelta, wouldn't it be nice to know what bugs exist in that update -before- it's installed? anything above 10.04 should have this feature.
[06:47] <Qwkuynuf> join
[06:47] <lorddelta> metaspike: Like in Mint? Yeah, bring it on.
[06:47] <venkatmangudi_> sammy, this is when people start coming online to help ya.
[06:47] <lorddelta> metaspike: Sounds like a great improvement. :)
[06:48] <metaspike> bullgard4, I have had great success with streamripper... you can streamripper *source* but not sure about simultanous playback for multiple items.
[06:48] <lorddelta> There seems to be something of a rivalry between Mint and Ubuntu...I don't care. They're doing Ubuntu right, IMHO, I just prefer to be closer to the source, persay.
[06:48] <lorddelta> We'll eventually be able to benefit from their hard work.
[06:48] <bullgard4> lorddelta: "Invaluable" is the proper word here: You never know if it is of value to you. The webpage you recommended is for GNOME 2 and not for GNOME 3.
[06:49] <metaspike> it's not rivalry it's a relationship of sorts as it goes with most derivatives.
[06:49] <bullgard4> lorddelta: The steps 1 through 5 are all positively fulfilled.
[06:49] <lorddelta> bullgard4: mmm...no...most of that should work at the driver level...if that's your problem that is.
[06:49] <metaspike> some rivalry from the fanboys of course, always :D
[06:49] <bullgard4> lorddelta: I do not have a driver problem. As I said, it worked last night.
[06:50] <lorddelta> bullgard4: Yeah, I know, there's been a bug that I haven't been able to/tried much to pin down where the configuration seems to corrupt...
[06:50] <lorddelta> bullgard4: Easiest way I find to deal with it is use a utility like alsamixer.
[06:51] <wirefrozen1> lorddelta, pm?
[06:52] <lorddelta> If you have steps one through 5 working, then the problem is obviously not your audio drivers. Could you be more specific about what is "not working"?
[06:53] <sue_> metaspike, I ran xscreensaver and that crashed my computer
[06:54] <sue_> metaspike, it went to  console screen for a moment and then it started blinking corrupted textual/colors over and over.. fortunately ctrl-alt-del rebooted
[06:54] <sue_> so maybe I need to stick with gnome-screensaver after all?
[06:54] <lorddelta> Generally if the sound's not working, it means you have A) the wrong sound card selected B) the volume turned down somewhere
[06:55] <lorddelta> Alsamixer will let you know (run from the terminal) if all your sound is set up
[06:55] <metaspike> sue_, if it makes you feel better.
[06:55] <lorddelta> Then there's pulseaudio preferences, and control panel...
[06:55] <sue_> metaspike, I'm asking, I don't know..
[06:56] <sue_> metaspike, why would xscreensaver crash my computer.. seems weird
[06:56] <metaspike> you can remove xscreensaver with   apt-get purge xscreensaver-*
[06:56] <lorddelta> bullgard4: However you also failed to give me any particulars about the streamer you are using and what parameters/options you are using, so I could imagine that the sound itself is fine and that you accidentally clicked an option.
[06:56] <meadhikari> is their anything to permanently disable this "unlock keyring" thing in ubuntu
[06:56] <metaspike> maybe you dont have the correct video drivers, or that gnome-screensaver is running, and competes with xscreensaver making your video buffer no-mans land
[06:57] <sue_> I make sure to kill gnome-screensaver and verified it was gone
[06:57] <sue_> *made
[06:57] <lorddelta> bullgard4: For instance with vlc there is an option you must select to make loopback streamed audio when saving to disk.
[06:57] <sue_> how can I check for correct video drivers
[06:57] <bullgard4> metaspike: streamripper is a command-line tool. It is installed on my computer. Please tell me what it means to "source" streamripper.
[06:57] <metaspike> bullgard4, what are you ripping...
[06:57] <metaspike> !video
[06:58] <metaspike> !proporietory video
[06:58] <bullgard4> lorddelta: I am using VLC media player as streamer.
[06:58] <sue_> !proprietary video
[06:58] <lorddelta> bullgard4: Version?
[06:59] <sue_> guess not
[06:59] <metaspike> sue_, nvidia, ati?
[06:59] <sue_> intel
[06:59] <bullgard4> lorddelta: For Ubuntu 11.10 the current VLC media player version is 1.1.12.
[06:59] <sue_> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01)
[06:59] <sammy> metaspike: have you seen apt-listchanges? i think thats whats called. you can review the debian news and/or changelog for any package being updated by apt. you can get it emailed to you or review it ina number of different ways (X gui, console when using apt-get or aptitude)
[07:00] <sammy> I think what you might be looking for is to run a more stable version. if the update doesnt involve a new feature you want, or abugfix for something youre having trouble with (and its not a security update) dont update.
[07:00] <sue_> I am not very good with xorg.. they took away a lot of the config files I was used to in x11 and I am not sure where the replacements are
[07:00] <sammy> the idea of just updating htings because there are new versions available is bad policy for someone who doesnt want to constantly deal with new regressions and new bugs
[07:02] <metaspike> sammy, yes it's a good start, i think the sooner apt-listbugs becomes standard for non-LTS distrobutions and a little verbosity hits the download page, the better.
[07:02] <sue_> metaspike, looks like it is using the intel(0) driver
[07:03] <bullgard4> metaspike I am ripping the stream http://dradio.ic.llnwd.net/stream/dradio_dkultur_m_a.ogg
[07:03] <sue_> metaspike, intel: Driver for Intel Integrated Graphics Chipsets: ... 845G ... so that is the right one
[07:04] <metaspike> yeah, i dunno, it's probably buggy... try   sudo dpkg-reconfigure gnome-screensaver  or go LTS
[07:04] <sue_> metaspike, was a good idea to check though!
[07:04] <metaspike> or not whatever, good luck sue_ ^_^
[07:05] <sue_> go lts?
[07:05] <sue_> I'm on 10.04 LTS
[07:05] <metaspike> bullgard4, then just - streamripper http://dradio.ic.llnwd.net/stream/dradio_dkultur_m_a.ogg -  from terminal, but thats an ogg, you could just wget it
[07:05] <sue_> or what did you mean?
[07:06] <lorddelta> bullgard4: I'm presuming you've tried the obvious then, namely that it doesn't work with other radio stations, that vlc can in fact play audio
[07:06] <metaspike> copy and paste - sudo dpkg-reconfigure gnome-screensaver  - into a terminal and push enter (reconfigure gnome-screensaver with dpkg)
[07:06] <sue_> reinstalling it and removing xscreensaver
[07:07] <sue_> metaspike, I'm still not sure what that had to do with lts.. I guess it was an abbreviation?
[07:07] <metaspike> sue_, even better, but gnome might pack a hissy. should be interesting.
[07:07] <lorddelta> bullgard4: I would say that if you can get vlc to play audio, the problem is not ubuntu's or your sound drivers; I would take it up with vlc (try #vlc)
[07:07] <Duker> What file system should I use for a secondary ssd intended for a web server
[07:07] <metaspike> sue_, lol no, i gave you a console command
[07:08] <metaspike> but no point now without gnome-screensaver
[07:08] <sue_> metaspike> yeah, i dunno, it's probably buggy... try   sudo dpkg-reconfigure gnome-screensaver  >>>>>>  or go LTS   <<<
[07:08] <sue_> that is what I didn't understand :)
[07:08] <master_> ila firfox 3.5 for my ubuntu
[07:09] <master_> i want firfox 3.5 for my ubuntu
[07:09] <bullgard4> lorddelta: I agree: My problem is not with Ubuntu nor with my sound driver. A very good advice: I will try #vlc. --  Thank you very much for your help.
[07:09] <metaspike> Yes sue, it stands for Long Term Support, I assumed you where running 11.04 because you where getting nonsense bugs. suggesting 10.04 because it's stablish
[07:09] <sue_> metaspike, maybe you didn't realize you typed it, never mind :)
[07:09] <master_> no need to use beta version
[07:09] <metaspike> maybe
[07:10] <sue_> metaspike, yeah I was running 9.04 and upgraded to 10.04 and that's when I started having trouble
[07:10] <master_> i want firfox 3.5 for my ubuntu
[07:11] <master_> any body have link
[07:11] <Duker> noob question, is ntfs on an ssd a silly thing to do
[07:11] <bullgard4> metaspike: I will give it a try but later. My problem is that VLC yesterday produced a sound at the same time when ripping but no longer today. So I should not give up VLC so easily in favor of another program.
[07:12] <Bowbles> Hey all, I am trying to get wifi working via command line. I am looking at this page for info: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiHowTo I am on 10.04.3 LTS. I have configured my /etc/network/interfaces file to match my needs. When I bring it up I keep getting a DHCPDISCOVER message, does this mean it is able to connect to the network but can't obtain an IP? Or that it can't connect to the network in the first place?
[07:13] <Duker> How can I access an encrypted home folder of a different ubuntu install from the live cd?
[07:14] <metaspike> Bowbles, here's my method: wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -B && dhcpcd wlan0 && dhclient   -- edit wpa_supplicant.conf to suit first.
[07:14] <metaspike> or use wicd :p
[07:15] <metaspike> Duker, dunno, seen this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory
[07:15] <Duker> Thank you!
[07:16] <Bowbles> metaspike: is wikd and wpa_supplicant available on a default install of 10.4.3 server?
[07:16] <Bowbles> :s/is/are
[07:17] <lorddelta> bullgard4: I don't know how up-to-date this documentation is, but if it helps any: http://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation:Streaming_HowTo_New#Transcoding_using_the_GUI
[07:17] <lorddelta> bullgard4: Hopefully more concise than me rambling on to you. :)
[07:17] <darkowlzz> When I do 'su' and enter my root password, it says 'su: Authentication failure', even though I enter the correct password
[07:17] <Bowbles> also metaspike, I use WEP not WPA, would wpa_supplicant even work for me?
[07:18] <metaspike> Bowbles, wpa_supplicant is the standard wifi decypted / thinamaginer since linux wifi standards existed.   man wpa_supplicant  should reveal something
[07:18] <Bowbles> ok will read more about it I guess, thanks
[07:18] <metaspike> Bowbles, yes. there's a doc directory for it with wep examples and such.
[07:18] <darkowlzz> When I do 'su' and enter my root password, it says 'su: Authentication failure', even though I enter the correct password. Is root login not allowed in Ubuntu?
[07:19] <sue_> well I found a workaround.. if I leave gnome-screensaver properties open all the time, the screensaver activates
[07:19] <metaspike> its disabled by default. use  "sudo passwd" to set a root password (just dont run non sys crit stuff as root or mess up yo /)
[07:19] <sue_> kinda lame but it works for now
[07:19] <urlin2u> darkowlzz, sudo -i
[07:20] <metaspike> yeah sudo -i   that's right
[07:21] <darkowlzz> okay, but in other distributions, it's just 'su' why is it different here?
[07:21] <wirefrozen1> better PDF reader than evince?
[07:22] <zulgaban> hi
[07:23] <almoxarife> !info acroread | wirefrozen1
[07:24] <darkowlzz> so why Ubuntu has 'sudo -i' instead of just 'su' for root login?
[07:24] <nanovany> How could I see my network device?
[07:25] <wirefrozen1> ubottu, lol
[07:25] <darkowlzz> ubottu, help
[07:25] <wirefrozen1> almostroot, what repos do i have to enable?
[07:26] <dannel> ubottu is a douche :b
[07:26] <smw> !language > dannel
[07:26] <almoxarife> wirefrozen1: my bad, I thought acroread was avail by default, its not, you would need the medibuntu ppa
[07:27] <wirefrozen1> almostroot, medibuntu ppa please do tell me what that is
[07:27] <smw> !medibuntu > wirefrozen1
[07:29] <urlin2u> almoxarife, wirefrozen1 it's in canonical  http://www.liberiangeek.net/2011/04/how-to-install-adobe-reader-acroread-in-ubuntu-11-04-natty-narwhal/
[07:29] <almoxarife> darkowlzz: the why is a distro difference
[07:29] <almoxarife> urlin2u: yes, it is
[07:29] <almoxarife> urlin2u: for natty
[07:29] <darkowlzz> almoxarife, but all others use 'su', even Linux Mint
[07:30] <urlin2u> almoxarife, has it moved back to mediabuntu?
[07:30] <Bowbles> damn metaspike left?
[07:30] <almoxarife> darkowlzz: imagine that, did you have another question>
[07:30] <Bowbles> yeah he did
[07:30] <lorddelta> almoxarife: =/
[07:31] <Bowbles> darkowlzz: because ubuntu will also use su, just not the way you expect it to
[07:31] <sammy> hey last try I swear, sorry for those who have seen me ask a few times:
[07:31] <Bowbles> you can sudo su and run the command with root privs
[07:31] <sammy> here's a good one: `getent passwd` only shows my /etc/passwd users. `getent passwd ldapusername` will show a user in my ldap databse through nss. but the users in ldap aren't showing when I just do 'getent passwd'
[07:32] <nanovany_> I can´t see my network device :s
[07:34] <almoxarife> nanovany_: what device?
[07:34] <nanovany_> sorry, my network controller
[07:35] <nanovany_> when I write LSPCI , it shows :  Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. Device 0032 (rev 01)
[07:36] <almoxarife> nanovany_: are you using it right now?
[07:39] <lauratika> hi everyone does any one knows how to set up tor in opera in ubuntu?
[07:40] <wirefrozen1> negative
[07:40] <wirefrozen1> i was under the impression opera sucked?
[07:41] <lauratika> wrong impression
[07:41] <lauratika> being using opera for years now and then
[07:41] <almoxarife> opera works quite well in ubuntu
[07:41] <wirefrozen1> nice
[07:41] <wirefrozen1> ever tried in BT
[07:41] <lauratika> BT?
[07:42] <almoxarife> wirefrozen1: !ot
[07:42] <pp7> fail
[07:42] <pp7> :P
[07:42] <wirefrozen1> almostroot, ??
[07:42] <almoxarife> :)
[07:42] <wirefrozen1> !ot is undefined
[07:42] <almoxarife> fail?
[07:42] <darkowlzz> I have a mobile broadband usb modem, I am unable to make it work, I found a solution here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1670724, but now it says, 'No devices in target mode or class found', can anyone help?
[07:42] <pp7> yes FAIL
[07:42] <pp7> no response
[07:42] <almoxarife> !ot
[07:43] <wirefrozen1> oh very sorry
[07:43] <almoxarife> lauratika: ask the questions in two parts, help will be easier
[07:44] <lorddelta> wirefrozen1: I think it was directed at pp7...though I'm not sure....
[07:44] <wirefrozen1> oh ok
[07:44] <darkowlzz>  I have a mobile broadband usb modem, I am unable to make it work, I found a solution here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1670724, but now it says, 'No devices in target mode or class found', can anyone help?
[07:44] <Bowbles> darkowlzz: dont spam the same question please
[07:44] <wirefrozen1> lorddelta, when u first started using Linux did u want to scream half the time?
[07:44] <lorddelta> wirefrozen1: No. Because I used Ubuntu.
[07:45] <lorddelta> wirefrozen1: I might suggest breaks + coffee or sugar though if you've been at this forever.
[07:45] <dnangel> hi, does anyone know if/when thunderbolt will be supported for macbook pro in ubuntu?
[07:45] <wirefrozen1> lorddelta,  but you still use alot of CLI  ritght?
[07:45] <lorddelta> wirefrozen1: pm
[07:45] <darkowlzz> Bowbles, but I thought it's better to repeat the question in a while as many new users join in between who may help me
[07:45] <lauratika> two parts?
[07:46] <lauratika> is onw question how to set up tor in opera?
[07:46] <lauratika> no 2 parts
[07:46] <almoxarife> lauratika: yes, for instance, do you need help with tor in ubuntu?
[07:46] <Bowbles> darkowlzz: patience is a virtue
[07:47] <Bowbles> darkowlzz: see this document: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines
[07:47] <lauratika> i need to set up tor in opera of course im using ubuntu
[07:47] <Duker> I just installed a new mobo with dif integrated graphics, i think thats why I'm blank screening after post (uneducated guess), how can I remove proprietary drivers using the command line in recovery mode?
[07:48] <dnangel> so can anyone direct me to a resource for my query? the ubuntu wiki lists its status as non-functional and notes 'docs needed'. has anyone had success using thunderbolt on ubuntu? i need to ensure this works as i use two monitors..
[07:48] <almoxarife> lauratika: have you installed 'tor'?
[07:48] <lauratika> yes
[07:50] <almoxarife> lauratika: so you have a client set up, great, I believe you also need something between tor and opera, I forget the name of the app, but it may be installed, do you remember what installed with tor?
[07:50] <plouffe> lauratika, https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq.html.en#TBBOtherBrowser
[07:50] <llutz_> tsocks/sockify almoxarife
[07:50] <llutz_> socksify*
[07:51] <dnangel> torify too
[07:51] <dnangel> ugh can anyone answer my question, i have an itchy install finger :)
[07:53] <almoxarife> lauratika: seems the in-between is no longer needed, I think, wouldn't it be easier to install the 'tor-browser-bundle' , I did, runs great, no opera though
[07:53] <lauratika> polipo is the proxy
[07:53] <lauratika> im using vidalia which works tor + polipo
[07:53] <lauratika> tor bundle comes with firefox and i dont use firefox sorry
[07:54] <almoxarife> lauratika: does opera allow for proxy connections? especially a socks?
[07:54] <lauratika> yes
[07:55] <almoxarife> lauratika: is tor up and running?
[07:55] <lauratika> yes is running via vidalia
[07:56] <llutz_> wow, opera got socks-support after all those years without....!?
[07:56] <almoxarife> lauratika: using the opera proxy connections, you want to connect to ip 127.0.0.1 and port 9050 using socks
[07:57] <lauratika> yes done
[07:57] <darkowlzz> Bowbles, but I thought it's better to repeat the question in a while as many new users join in between who may help me
[07:57] <almoxarife> lauratika: great, so go to ipchicken.com and look at the ip, should not be yours
[07:57] <lauratika> well it is
[07:58] <lauratika> thats the thing is not working
[07:58] <almoxarife> lauratika: what is not working?
[07:58] <Bowbles> dnangel: well, read what the page says. Cause it pretty clearly says not to do that.
[07:58] <lauratika> ip address is not changing
[07:59] <almoxarife> lauratika: close down opera and restart it
[07:59] <dnangel> all it says, Bowbles is: Thunderbolt: needs docs
[07:59] <lauratika> ok hold on
[07:59] <lauratika> be right back
[08:00] <bitcycle> Hey all.  I've got a new debian vps, and its been a while since I set one up.  Can someone advise me what to do to enable a user to remotely login via ssh, after I've created it on the server while logging in via ssh as root?
[08:00] <dnangel> there are links also (the only other thing that seems valid) to the linux plumbers conference 2011, which probably indicates it is still only being considered for kernel inclusion
[08:00] <llutz_> bitcycle: user should be able to login without changes
[08:01] <bitcycle> llutz_: Hmm... it can't.  :(  I can sudo su as the user on the box, though.
[08:01] <llutz_> bitcycle: check AllowUsers/DenyUsers in sshd_config
[08:01] <llutz_> bitcycle: and btw, there is #debian
[08:03] <llutz_> bitcycle: sudo has nothing to do with ssh and sudo su is deprecated, use "sudo -i"
[08:03] <kirill> hello
[08:03] <dnangel> or just don't use sudo lol
[08:04] <dnangel> thanks guys. o/
[08:04] <kirill> русские есть?
[08:04] <llutz_> !ru | kirill
[08:06] <almoxarife> does terminal have a nice gui front end?
[08:06] <r_tarandus> almoxarife: I wasn't aware that any Terminal had a GUI?....
[08:07] <llutz_> which wouldn't make any sense at all, if it had
[08:07] <almoxarife> r_tarandus: I am not sure I am going to like this ubuntu experience then
[08:07] <SunTsu> almoxarife: what exactly do you mean? terminal windows for X?
[08:08] <SunTsu> almoxarife: if so: lots of: xterm, Terminal, (u)rxvt, Konsole, and many more
[08:09] <Humbedooh> it sure beats the command prompt in windows :>
[08:10] <llutz_> there's bash/gnu-utils for windows too
[08:10] <almoxarife> SunTsu: no I mean something to take the pain out of typing cryptic text in cli, and there is something for the likes of me who don't like terminal, cli-companion, add it once to the list and its done, the question was meant in jest, humor
[08:11] <SunTsu> almoxarife: yeah, it's called gui
[08:11] <r_tarandus> almoxarife, SunTsu: I stand corrected. I guess there is a GUI! Get 'emmmmmmmm.
[08:12] <SunTsu> although, for me a terminal is something that takes the pain out of using a gui
[08:12] <almoxarife> SunTsu: no, its half a gui and half terminal
[08:18] <vsync_> < almoxarife> does terminal have a nice gui front end?
[08:18] <vsync_> :DDDDDDDD
[08:19] <Humbedooh> now now, don't tease
[08:19] <almoxarife> vsync_: I am assuming you didn't find the humor in the question
[08:20] <vsync_> it was good!
[08:20] <SunTsu> IMHO advanced completion like zsh has and bash can have takes lots of pain out of using the shell
[08:21] <vsync_> i don't have any pain using plain vanilla bash
[08:21] <llutz_> people just have to get this "cli == msdos-like == oldfashioned difficult, but GUI==mouseclickers heaven" out of their mind
[08:23] <SunTsu> vsync_: me neither, but having completion for eg. options is nice to remind me on things I seldom use, without having to refer to the man page overly
[08:25] <SiegeX> what runlevel is the multiuser non-gui one?
[08:25] <llutz_> !runlevel < SiegeX
[08:25] <llutz_> !runlevel > SiegeX
[08:25] <almoxarife> vsync_: the avg ubuntu user does, I do, I almost can get around in it, but most people who come in here with a 'my xxxx is broke, please help' find themselves usually being told to terminal themselves out of it, which either means ubuntu is not a useful tool of the people or those people that are helping don't care/know/want to go thru the pain of giving the person the gui fix to the problem.
[08:26] <SiegeX> thanks
[08:28] <vsync_> almoxarife that didn't make any god damn sense
[08:28] <llutz_> almoxarife: most of the problems are easier solved in terminal than in GUI and you cannot hide the termimal from people administrating a linux-system, so they have to learn it sooner or later
[08:28] <almoxarife> on the other hand, if I install virtualbox and it does require me to add myself to the 'virtualbox' group, how would I do it in a virgin ubuntu 11.10 install? without terminal
[08:29] <vsync_> a problem such as "to terminal or not to terminal" could only arise in the user group of a distro such as ubuntu
[08:29] <almoxarife> vsync_: xkuze plz , mine engrish not so gut
[08:29] <SunTsu> almoxarife: you'd call the user management and edit the user to be in that group?
[08:29] <almoxarife> vsync_: it's a new age, what is one to do?
[08:30] <vsync_> it's a dumber age then. in any case there's a gui tool to manage groups and users, too
[08:30] <lorddelta> vsync_: Its ok...I brought up the terminal before, almoxarife insulted me too.
[08:30] <almoxarife> SunTsu: or you add the app that does just that from kde4?
[08:30] <lorddelta> almoxarife: Since you won't have a tussle privately...
[08:31] <Scott_S> almoxarife: Or, you know, use the User Management tool that's built directly into (basically) every Ubuntu installation...
[08:31] <almoxarife> vsync_: find me the app in a virgin ubuntu install of 11.10 that will allow you to add yourself to a group. please
[08:32] <almoxarife> Scott_S vsync_: find me the app in a virgin ubuntu install of 11.10 that will allow you to add yourself to a group. please
[08:32] <Scott_S> almoxarife: Type 'User Accounts' into the Application Search Bar. The one that pops up on the top left or when you press the Windows key.
[08:33] <almoxarife> Scott_S: window key?
[08:33] <almoxarife> Scott_S: window key does nothing here, should it?
[08:33] <lorddelta> I believe its called the OS_Key X_X
[08:34] <almoxarife> lorddelta: has the win logo?
[08:34] <lorddelta> almoxarife: has the Mac logo?
[08:34] <lorddelta> :P
[08:34] <lorddelta> (not that I care)
[08:34] <mascaret> hi
[08:34] <lorddelta> Anyways I need need to depart
[08:35] <lorddelta> good luck jousting or w/e bbl
[08:35] <mascaret> in unity, is it possible to keep the title bars for maximized windows ?
[08:35] <almoxarife> lorddelta: us poorer keyboards have a win logo, and mine has never done a thing, I figured its my laptop
[08:35] <urlin2u>  mascaret the buttons?
[08:35] <mascaret> not only the buttons, I dont want the titlebar to merge with the top panel
[08:35] <mascaret> when I maximize
[08:36] <urlin2u> mascaret, I don't think there is a workaround for that.
[08:36] <mascaret> o_O
[08:37] <mascaret> they did this "complex" feature "merge the titlebar" without giving the possibility to disable it ?
[08:37] <Bowbles> argh, any advice on resolving a temporary failure resolving us.archive.ubuntu.com? I changed nameservers in resolv.conf to be 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 everything else seems to resolve fine via command line
[08:37] <almoxarife> mascaret: sad, but yes
[08:38] <almoxarife> Bowbles: its not a dns issue then, they are down? greasing the gears maybe?
[08:38] <Bowbles> almoxarife: can you check on your end to confirm for me?
[08:39] <llutz_> Bowbles: NXDOMAIN
[08:39] <Bowbles> I feel like this is 99% chance pebkac
[08:39] <almoxarife> Bowbles: nope, its you, I went to the domain you gave us
[08:40] <Bowbles> almoxarife: can you nslookup it?
[08:41] <llutz_> Bowbles: resolves fine now here using 8.8.8.8
[08:41] <ando[x]> hello al
[08:41] <ando[x]> all
[08:43] <Bowbles> llutz_: thanks for the info, I have no idea what I may be doing wrong at this point. But I am getting connection timeouts for nslookups now, but when I nslookup ubuntu.com it comes back correct and without any delays.
[08:43] <ando[x]> can anyone help me with an update issue I'm having? Whether I update via GUI or sudo apt-get update i run into an issue with archive.canonical.com/dist/lucid/release

[08:45] <llutz_> ando[x]: sounds like typo "partner/source" not "partnet/srouce/..:"
[08:45] <ando[x]> it says partnet source
[08:45] <ando[x]> even google thought i typo'd it.. so i double checked.
[08:45] <llutz_> ando[x]: sounds like typo, it should be "partner/source" not "partnet/srouce/..:"
[08:45] <ando[x]> how can i change that?
[08:46] <llutz_> ando[x]: check your sources (grep -r partnet /etc/apt/*)
[08:46] <rhin0> tbh I am beginning to find 11.10 (xubuntu) glitchy
[08:47] <urlin2u> rhin0, all ubuntu installs can read another one, and ntfs all ext types unless encrypted.
[08:48] <ando[x]> llutz: i've just checked them.
[08:48] <rhin0> ok im in got ssh and can mount it probablly--- moving back to 10.04 --- system hangs on "check battery state" -- won't deal with THAT anymore --- new install of system -- nothing wrong with it

[08:53] <wolfric> alt f2 doesn't seem to work for me any more (open file run program). i'm on 11.10 running the gnome option (can't quite remember what you call it)

[09:31] <phix> kallepersson: unles you configured it to log else where
[09:32] <phix> what does your php.ini file say?
[09:34] <library> i need an urgent help on ubuntu 10.4.3 LTS version installed on DELL Vostro 3550 but sound is not working here. Can someone help me to activate sound on this machine.
[09:41] <almoxarife> library: in system > preferences > sound what is shown in the hardware and output tabs?
[09:42] <aBound> Sounds like missing drivers. If the sound isn't working.
[09:43] <library> in preferences > sound in Hardware it is showing internal audio Analog stereo output
[09:43] <Raliegh> How would I add custom programs (bash scripts) on startup?
[09:44] <library> which drivers has to be installed for Ubuntu 10.4.3 LTS to get audio working
[09:44] <Hexch> HI, how can I finde out why my ubuntu server have an avarage load of 20
[09:45] <almoxarife> library: the volume slider?
[09:45] <Hexch> top dont give me so much info
[09:45] <aBound> Raliegh, I would say using the command: cronjob. But...I can't say for certain.
[09:45] <library> sorry what is volume slider?
[09:46] <library> where is it
[09:46] <Raliegh> cronjob? Never heard of it, lol.
[09:46] <aBound> Raliegh, Opps meant to say the command: cron
[09:46] <llutz_> Hexch: have a look at "atsar"
[09:46] <almoxarife> library: over the output tab?
[09:47] <llutz_> Raliegh: scripts running once at boot-time? /etc/rc.local
[09:47] <library> it is internal audio analog stereo
[09:48] <harsh343> how to  download Gitti which is a GUI for managing GIT repositories in ubuntu ???? command ?
[09:48] <Raliegh> llutz, yes. But I obviously need it to run after the OS has fully loaded. I need a certain file to be run at startup
[09:48] <Raliegh> Would that be the best way to do it? If so, documentation?
[09:49] <harsh343> how to  download Gitti which is a GUI for managing GIT repositories in ubuntu ???? command ?
[09:49] <llutz_> Raliegh: add your script to /etc/rc.local then
[09:49] <almoxarife> library: yes, I got that, in the screen where you saw that info there should be at least two volume sliders, look
[09:50] <library> no only one i can see
[09:51] <almoxarife> library: should be all the way to the right
[09:51] <tanguy_> join #nodejitsu
[09:51] <almoxarife> harsh343: gitti is for mac or ubuntu?
[09:52] <harsh343> use git clone  ??
[09:52] <library> when i click on sound preferences i can see sound effects, hardware, input, output, applications
[09:52] <harsh343> almostroot, yes gitti for mac i need for ubuntu ?
[09:53] <library> in sound effects nothing is there in hardware i can see internal audio and with profile
[09:53] <almoxarife> library: start a youtube video, tell me what you see in the applications tab
[09:54] <Raliegh> llutz, it works for one command but not the second. It's not running this:
[09:54] <Raliegh> ssh ices@199.19.xxx.xx bash <<< 'echo $$ > ~/liquid.pid ; liquidsoap script.liq'
[09:54] <almoxarife> library: nothing in hardware?
[09:54] <library> with drop down options, in input tab nothing is there, in applications tab it is VLC player
[09:55] <llutz_> Raliegh: use full pathes, scripts are running as root in limited environment. so "~" might be the problem
[09:55] <almoxarife> library: youtube on vlc? how about youtube on firefox?
[09:55] <library> hardware it is internal audio output analog output
[09:55] <library> yes i am playing youtube on firefox
[09:56] <Raliegh> llutz, That "~" is called upon on the second server, which is already up. Notice the SSH before it. It shouldn't matter should it?
[09:56] <library> but in sound preferences in applications it is showing VLC media player
[09:56] <library> i can play the video but no sound again
[09:57] <almoxarife> library: I didn't expect vlc as the plugin for firefox, I figured it would be something else, like totem maybe
[09:57] <llutz_> Raliegh: ah sry, missed that part. you're using key-auth for ices ssh? i guess it needs to set keyfile then "ssh -i ..."
[09:57] <Raliegh> Yeah, I'm using key auth.
[09:58] <library> no no firefox and vlc are differerent
[09:58] <Raliegh> llutz, adding the full path made no difference. :/
[09:58] <library> i told you in sound preferences in applications i could see vlc media player
[09:58] <library> not in firefox
[09:58] <llutz_> Raliegh: ssh -i path/to/keyfile ices@....
[09:58] <almoxarife> library: close vlc if it is running
[09:59] <library> done
[09:59] <venkatmangudi> Raliegh, looks like you crossed the initial hurdle... good to know :)
[09:59] <msterbrewer> im getting slow transfer speeds on my external hard drive its not a porblem with the external hard drive because when i attach it to a windows computer i get 30mbs or on this computer when it ran windows it also got those speeds right now its doing 6 mbs sometimes 8
[09:59] <Raliegh> llutz, is the keyfile the pub one or the one without an extention?
[10:00] <almoxarife> library: pick another youtube vid in firefox and play it, what shows up in applications tab of sound prefs?
[10:00] <llutz_> Raliegh: the sec-file, without extension
[10:00] <Raliegh> almoxarife, thanks thanks. Many days of splitting headaches, but I'm moving on
[10:00] <almoxarife> Raliegh: wrong nick
[10:00] <Raliegh> Oh. x(
[10:01] <msterbrewer> any idea what the problem is?
[10:01] <library> when i have quit vlc and tried playing a video in firefox it is saying in sound preferences no application is currently playing or recording audio
[10:02] <almoxarife> library: do you see video on firefox?
[10:02] <library> yes only audio is not there
[10:02] <Raliegh> llutz, ssh -i /root/.ssh/id_rsa ices@199.19.105.71 bash <<< 'echo $$ > /home/ices/liquid.pid ; liquidsoap script.liq'
[10:02] <Raliegh> Still didn't run.
[10:03] <venkatmangudi> Raliegh, is liquidsoap an executable?
[10:03] <venkatmangudi> which directory is liquidsoap in?
[10:04] <wado> hi every body, any body there?
[10:04] <venkatmangudi> specifying full directory might help maybe?
[10:04] <venkatmangudi> wado, quite a few here... who u looking for? :)
[10:04] <Raliegh> venkatmangudi of course it is. It runs fine, this script is perfect outside of trying to get it to run on startup.
[10:05] <venkatmangudi> hmmm.... you want it to run automatically once on startup?
[10:05] <Raliegh> Correct.
[10:05] <Raliegh> I don't care if there's a small delay on it either.
[10:05] <Raliegh> Just keeps me from having to hop on SSH and do it manually.
[10:05] <Atlantic777> wado: may we help you?
[10:05] <almoxarife> library: do you have hardware buttons to raise lower volume?
[10:06] <library> on top right yes
[10:06] <msterbrewer> im getting slow transfer speeds ot external hard drive 6-8 mbs instead of the 30 it usually gets
[10:06] <venkatmangudi> Raliegh, did you try this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBootupHowto
[10:06] <library> on top of the screen right
[10:06] <msterbrewer> the only solution i saw online was to format the disk....
[10:06] <msterbrewer> not doing that
[10:06] <lordjj> Hello. I don't seem to have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf  ( http://paste.ubuntu.com/785517/ )
[10:06] <Raliegh> venkatmangudi, I looked at that... But my script isn't exactly a service, heh.
[10:06] <wado> I'm installing ALSA driver on my UBUNTU 10.10 it requires the name os my sound card, how to get the name of my sound card??  Atlantic777
[10:06] <almoxarife> library: you mean, a icon?
[10:07] <venkatmangudi> another link? http://embraceubuntu.com/2005/09/07/adding-a-startup-script-to-be-run-at-bootup/
[10:07] <library> yes on my keyboard there is volume button
[10:07] <library> next to f12 key
[10:07] <almoxarife> library: hit the raise volume one a few times or hold it down

[10:08] <venkatmangudi> Raliegh, comment number 5 might be useful
[10:08] <aBound> Has anybody in here actually used SELinux before?
[10:09] <lordjj> I want to try these intel driver quirks but I don't seem to have a xorg.conf file in /etc/X11/ (quirks: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Quirks#Intel_Driver_Quirks pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/785517/ )
[10:09] <wado> how to get the name of my sound card on ubuntu 10.10?
[10:09] <venkatmangudi> lspci
[10:09] <library> no change
[10:10] <Atlantic777> wado: aplay -l
[10:10] <Raliegh> venkatmangudi, it was further down the page. Simply loading into init.d and update rc.d
[10:10] <Raliegh> All is well now! :D
[10:10] <Raliegh> Whooo
[10:10] <venkatmangudi> wado: lspci lists all the PCI devices
[10:10] <Duker> How can I resize the image displayed on my display, ubuntu seems to have added an extra half inch to every side - compiz settings?
[10:11] <wado> Atlantic777 aplay: device_list:235: no soundcards found...
[10:11] <VCoolio> lordjj: xorg.conf should not be necessary anymore, but you can create it if you need
[10:11] <troll-> i need help
[10:11] <lordjj> VCoolio I have these problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Quirks#Intel_No_Display_After_Lid_Close_Quirks:_i915.2BAC8-intel_lvds.c
[10:12] <msterbrewer> im getting slow transfer speeds to external hard drive about a third of what it should be
[10:12] <lordjj> VCoolio, I would need to get some template file then?
[10:12] <wado> venkatmangudi: it gives me that > Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc RV710/730
[10:13] <almoxarife> library: ask for help again, say you have already done the obvious via gui, and can't get your audio to work, I am not a terminal-audio expert, but some exist here
[10:13] <wado> venkatmangudi: and another one >Audio device: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio (rev 05)
[10:13] <library> do i need to install any audio drivers for this dell vostro 3550
[10:13] <VCoolio> lordjj: no, you can just put the section you need in a new file
[10:13] <venkatmangudi> Raliegh: cool. Have fun
[10:14] <venkatmangudi> wado: your display controller has an audio?
[10:14] <library> i have installed ubuntu 10.4.3 on dell vostro 3550 laptop. my audio is not working can someone help me to get audio working
[10:15] <venkatmangudi> and what did aplay -l display?
[10:15] <VCoolio> lordjj: or you can go to tty (ctrl-alt-f1), kill X and then "sudo Xorg -configure > yourfile" to have your current setup written to a xorg.conf file
[10:15] <venkatmangudi> wado: lspci gives you the hardware
[10:15] <wado> venkatmangudi: I'm installing ALSA driver, it tells me that it is muted "WARNING!!! The mixer channels for the ALSA driver are muted by default!!! You would use some ALSA or OSS mixer to set the appropriate volume. "
[10:16] <venkatmangudi> wado: It is probably Intel HD Audio
[10:16] <lordjj> VCoolio ah, thanks
[10:16] <wado> venkatmangudi: what to do ??
[10:16] <wado> venkatmangudi: there is no sound right now
[10:16] <venkatmangudi> have you installed alsa?
[10:17] <wado> venkatmangudi: yes, there are two steps rest
[10:17] <Duker> How can I manually scale down my display size in compiz?
[10:17] <wado> venkatmangudi: sorry, the last remaining step : 8) Run 'modprobe snd-xxxx' where xxxx is the name of your card.
[10:18] <venkatmangudi> wado: ok. so you're going to do the next step
[10:18] <metaspike> Duker, you mean change your resolution?
[10:18] <metaspike> or zoom?
[10:18] <venkatmangudi> wado: your audio device is Intel HD Audio
[10:19] <venkatmangudi> Audio device: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio (rev 05)
[10:19] <metaspike> I think you should check out ccsm anyway
[10:19] <Duker> Meta, I only have one resolution option under display settings and it's too big, trying to scale it down a bit
[10:19] <Duker> Like the actual edges of the screen
[10:20] <wado> venkatmangudi: I tried : "modprobe snd-Intel HD Audio", and gives me >FATAL: Module snd_Intel not found.
[10:21] <metaspike> in terminal - xrandr then xrandr -s <number> to change resolution, otherwise use ccsm to tweak compiz directly
[10:21] <mang0> Ugh, I've been messing around with compiz and now my menubar is all distorted, and unusable. How do I reload compiz or switch to metacity from terminal?
[10:21] <venkatmangudi> one sec
[10:21] <Duker> where can I tweak it in ccsm, been looking but cant find it - I remember using something in the past there that foxed it
[10:22] <mang0> venkatmangudi: Where you talking to me?
[10:23] <venkatmangudi> mang0: nope. was talking to wado
[10:23] <almoxarife> Duker: what kind of video do you have?
[10:23] <mang0> venkatmangudi: Daym, okay.
[10:23] <venkatmangudi> mang0: i think I know the answer to you... wait a min pls let me solve wado's problem first
[10:23] <Duker> intel HD3000
[10:23] <mang0> venkatmangudi: Great, sure, np.
[10:24] <venkatmangudi> wado: try snd_hda_intel
[10:24] <almoxarife> Duker: is that a hdmi connect?
[10:24] <wado> venkatmangudi: FATAL: Module snd_snd_hda_intel not found.
[10:24] <venkatmangudi> mang0: try this metacity --replace &
[10:25] <Duker> almoxarife, yes
[10:25] <mang0> venkatmangudi: K.
[10:25] <venkatmangudi> there are two snd in your command wado
[10:25] <lordjj> VCoolio I can't seem to get Xorg -configure to work http://paste.ubuntu.com/785533/
[10:25] <Duker> almoxarife: Integrated into i7 processor, hdmi is on mobo
[10:25] <mang0> venkatmangudi: Hurrah! Thanks :)
[10:25] <almoxarife> Duker: what you need to find for your video is the 'overscan' correction
[10:25] <wado> venkatmangudi:done
[10:26] <Duker> almoxarife: Thanks :D
[10:26] <venkatmangudi> you're welcome mang0
[10:26] <venkatmangudi> wado: all well?
[10:26] <wado> venkatmangudi: still mute
[10:27] <venkatmangudi> try pulseaudio...
[10:27] <venkatmangudi> alsa is a pain for me
[10:28] <venkatmangudi> wado: before that, try logging out and back in
[10:28] <venkatmangudi> wado: or a reboot
[10:29] <wado> venkatmangudi: ok, but what about that warning I got while installing? >> "WARNING!!! The mixer channels for the ALSA driver are muted by default!!! You would use some ALSA or OSS mixer to set the appropriate volume. "
[10:29] <wado> venkatmangudi: hot to "use some ALSA or OSS mixer to set the appropriate volume. "
[10:29] <wado> venkatmangudi: how to "use some ALSA or OSS mixer to set the appropriate volume. "
[10:29] <wado> ??
[10:30] <Duker> Can't do overscan in ccsm?
[10:30] <Ben64> wado: gnome-alsamixer is a good one
[10:30] <almoxarife> Duker: doubt it
[10:30] <venkatmangudi> you should have a sound controller
[10:31] <venkatmangudi> wado: in your terminal try alsamixer
[10:31] <Duker> almoxarife: Any idea what I could use, usually I tihnk I have nvidia drivers, but nothing proprietary on this one
[10:31] <wado> Ben64 : what the command for installing this??
[10:31] <venkatmangudi> you should see a mixer in your terminal
[10:31] <Ben64> sudo apt-get install gnome-alsamixer
[10:32] <venkatmangudi> wado: also try alsamixer
[10:32] <wado> ok
[10:32] <wado> venkatmangudi: E: Unable to locate package alsamixer
[10:33] <almoxarife> Duker: that's right, on nvidia there is a nice simple slider to fix overscan, nevermind they put it at nears bottom where you can't see it if overscanned, but that's for another day, doesn't your card have a config gui ?
[10:33] <g0to> hello
[10:33] <wado> Ben64 : doen installing, but still no sound, what to do?
[10:33] <venkatmangudi> sudo apt-get install alsamixer
[10:33] <Ben64> then run gnome-alsamixer
[10:33] <g0to> I'm trying to swap some keys from my keyboard using xmodmap (http://pastebin.com/9vZRN0P4)
[10:33] <venkatmangudi> wado: do you see your sound settings?
[10:33] <g0to> but the .Xmodmap file trick is not working at all
[10:34] <wado> venkatmangudi: still > E: Unable to locate package alsamixer
[10:34] <Duker> almoxarife: It doesn't seem to have anything that shows in the 'addition drivers' section
[10:34] <wado> venkatmangudi: yes i see sound setting
[10:34] <g0to> some clues about problems using that method in ubuntu?
[10:34] <metaspike> wado, apt-get install alsa-utils
[10:35] <metaspike> then try alsamixer again
[10:35] <almoxarife> Duker: look at this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1728526
[10:35] <wado> metaspike : it gives me >alsa-utils is already the newest version.
[10:35] <metaspike> ok, then you already have it. is this a standard ubuntu install?
[10:35] <cheryl> Hi, need help getting an Avon digital camera working on Ubuntu Maverick
[10:36] <wado> metaspike : what do you mean by standard??
[10:36] <wado> metaspike : I just installed alsa, the sound was working before, but after the installation it is mute
[10:37] <almoxarife> cheryl: you mean you want to pull the pics off it?
[10:37] <cheryl> almoxarife, Indeed!
[10:37] <deny26> hi all.. i want to ask.. when i'm using ad-hoc to share my connection... dnsmasq activated with the following command /usr/sbin/dnsmasq --conf-file --no-hosts --keep-in-foreground --bind-interfaces --except-interface=lo --clear-on-reload --strict-order --listen-address=10.42.0.1 --dhcp-range=10.42.0.10,10.42.0.100,60m --dhcp-option=option:router,10.42.0.1 --dhcp-lease-max=50 --pid-file=/var/run/nm-dnsmasq-wlan0.pid
[10:37] <deny26> i want to integrate dnsmasq with squid
[10:37] <deny26> any solutions?
[10:37] <almoxarife> cheryl: doesn't it have a usb connector?
[10:38] <metaspike> wado, i see. try this then.  sudo dpkg-reconfigure pulseuadio
[10:38] <Ben64> wado: is it a laptop?
[10:38] <metaspike> *sudo dpkg-reconfigure pulseaudio
[10:38] <cheryl> almoxarife, It does but doesn't seem to detect the device when plugging it in! I've always found it good at spotting phones etc when I plug 'em in.
[10:39] <almoxarife> cheryl: is the camera on or off? if on, does it give you an idiot menu about connecting to something?
[10:39] <wado> Ben64 : yes it is a laptop, Toshiba satellite L655
[10:40] <Ben64> wado: i had a similar problem. I uninstalled pulseaudio and restarted, now sound works
[10:40] <venkatmangudi> pulse and alsa together is a pain at times, no?>
[10:40] <wado> metaspike : it gives me > pulseuadio is not installed
[10:41] <almoxarife> wado: may I ask, what was the original reason to load the alsa drivers?
[10:41] <wado> Ben64 : does the headphone works with you??
[10:41] <Ben64> wado: yes
[10:41] <Ben64> pulseaudio has given me nothing but problems for at least two years
[10:41] <wado> Ben64 : it works by default, or you had to install alsa?
[10:42] <Ben64> alsa was already installed
[10:42] <almoxarife> I don't have any issues with pulse, but I also have not crippled it with alsa installs
[10:42] <wado> almoxarife : the headphone wasn't working, so someone advised me to install alsa driver
[10:43] <Ben64> almoxarife: thats not how pulse works
[10:43] <venkatmangudi> wado: that's proibably not a reason to install alsa
[10:43] <venkatmangudi> *probably
[10:44] <wado> venkatmangudi : then what to do now to restore the sound??
[10:44] <Ryllez89> Hello Guys, anyone can teach to me how let my ubuntu 11.10 like this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qpgyd41UsmI
[10:44] <Ryllez89> ?
[10:44] <cheryl> almoxarife, sorry got distracted with my lil girl....there's a basic screen on the back that shows you how many pics you've used.
[10:46] <metaspike> wado, specifcally what did you install? you could sudo apt-get purge <whatever it was>, reconfigure pulse audio - sudo dpkg-reconfigure pulseaudio - or purge pulse audio - sudo apt-get purge pulseaudio - pulse audio is a sound server and actually provides shared audio for alsa, whatever you installed probably messed with the default configuration.
[10:46] <venkatmangudi> wado: sound worked before alsoa? remove it
[10:46] <almoxarife> Ben64: here is how pulse works for me, I got this plasma with awesome speakers, I like to listen thru them, I have a box connected to it, ubuntu 11.04 virgin pulseaudio , i tell this machine to use the the driver(pulse) off the comp (pulse) connected to the big huge speakers on the tv, and it works! no alsa confs, no configs, so yeah, it works
[10:46] <venkatmangudi> wado: metaspike hit the nail on the head
[10:46] <cheryl> almoxarife, it doesn't let u know it's connected, no. :(
[10:47] <almoxarife> cheryl: is the camera on?
[10:47] <cheryl> almoxarife, yes
[10:47] <cheryl> almoxarife, and plugged into usb port
[10:47] <wado> venkatmangudi : from sunaptic or how? after removing would I get the default configurations?
[10:48] <VCoolio> lordjj: sorry, was away for a moment; X is still running, kill it first, then do Xorg -configure
[10:48] <almoxarife> cheryl: leave the camera on and connected to the comp via usb, log out and back in, I am hoping you see another usb drive connected
[10:48] <wado> metaspike  : it wasn't through a single command, it is many steps according to the installation guide
[10:48] <cheryl> almoxarife, okay brb....
[10:49] <lordjj> VCoolio thanks, X was restarting when I killed it, but then I killed gdm first, and then X. I got a conf file now :)
[10:49] <Ryllez89> cheako,
[10:49] <venkatmangudi> wado: you probably need to retrace your steps
[10:50] <Ryllez89> cheryl, u know how i can modify my ubuntu 11.10 like this video? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qpgyd41UsmI
[10:50] <metaspike> wado, ok then you should probably restore configs for both alsa and pulse audio and remove the cruft... hmm..  sudo dpkg-reconfigure alsa-base alsa-utils pulseaudio && rm ~/.asoundrc   - then reboot or as venkatmangudi says.
[10:52] <cheryl__> almoxarife, I'm baaack!
[10:53] <cheryl__> almoxarife,   Where do I look now?? :)
[10:53] <Ryllez89> cheryl_,  u know how i can modify my ubuntu 11.10 like this video? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qpgyd41UsmI please?
[10:53] <almoxarife> cheryl__: what version you got?
[10:54] <lordjj> VCoolio so how come xorg.conf is no longer needed? What's the alternative?
[10:54] <VCoolio> lordjj: xorg can figure it out on its own nowadays, unless you want specific options
[10:54] <hroi> hi

[10:58] <cheryl__> almoxarife, no
[10:59] <almoxarife> cheryl__: 11.10 ubuntu?
[10:59] <VCoolio> Ryllez89: probably an older ubuntu version; logout and choose gnome classic and login
[10:59] <almoxarife> cheryl__: you don't see a indication of a added source/drive/usb-drive?
[11:00] <cheryl__> almoxarife, yes, I set my settings for update to only include fully supported new releases & I've not been prompted to upgrade yet!
[11:00] <cheryl__> almoxarife, no, no new drives.
[11:01] <almoxarife> cheryl__: don't upgrade, if you are comfortable with your system
[11:02] <almoxarife> cheryl__: last try, keep camera on and connected to comp, shut down and restart, same applies, looking for a added usb-drive
[11:02] <almoxarife> cheryl__: give me the model of the camera also
[11:02] <Ben64> cheryl__: you should make sure to upgrade before April though

[11:06] <venkatmangudi> wado:  good to know sound is back
[11:07] <venkatmangudi> in your sound mixer can you check if the headphone is muted?
[11:07] <wado> venkatmangudi : the headphone doesn't work as previos, so what to do??
[11:07] <almoxarife> wado: look at sound prefs, don't you have two options for output?
[11:08] <wado> venkatmangudi : no, i have only one
[11:08] <wado> almoxarife : no, i have only one
[11:08] <almoxarife> wado: you are seeing this where?
[11:09] <wado> almoxarife : I have only this option: Internal Audio Analog Sterio
[11:09] <wado> almoxarife : in the output tap in the sound pref
[11:10] <idontknowmyself> How do I download some game in Ubuntu?
[11:10] <almoxarife> wado: ok, what is showing in 'connector'?
[11:11] <metaspike> what does pulseaudio use for a mixer pauvmixer or such? i forget
[11:11] <wado> almoxarife : where can i fine the "connector" ?
[11:12] <almoxarife> wado: what version you using?
[11:12] <wado> almoxarife : I don't see any tap named "connector"
[11:12] <wado> almoxarife : ubuntu 10.10
[11:12] <almoxarife> wado: below the ?? tap ?? where you see internal audio......... see anything else?
[11:13] <wado> almoxarife : nothing, just an audio balane
[11:13] <almoxarife> balene?
[11:13] <metaspike> waldo, did you remove pulseaudio?
[11:14] <wado> metaspike  : I used this command : sudo aptitude --purge reinstall linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils linux-image-`uname -r` linux-ubuntu-modules-`uname -r` libasound2
[11:16] <metaspike> nice, well. im not sure what the gnome equivilent, but you should have   pauvmixer   - put that in terminal, and you should be able to unmute / switch audio channels with the headphones plugge in
[11:16] <bullgard4> [Ubuntu 11.10 GNOME Shell 3.2.1] I am recording an internet radio stream. Why can I not hear it at the same time? Pressing Windows-key > gnome-control-center > Audio > Applications > ALSA plugin [firefox] is not muted. (Last night it worked.)
[11:16] <almoxarife> wado: in a terminal type                 gnome-control-center sound
[11:17] <Duker> Has the option to run a .sh file been removed in 11.10 after double clicking it?  I only seem to be able to edit it
[11:18] <wado> almoxarife : done, it displays a "control center" window
[11:18] <metaspike> Duker, maybe you need executable permission
[11:18] <almoxarife> wado: it displays a 'sound' control window?
[11:19] <wado> almoxarife : it displays a general control window, contains many thins
[11:19] <Duker> Meta, I'm in admin account would I still need it there?
[11:19] <almoxarife> wado: typed this completely? gnome-control-center sound
[11:19] <almoxarife> wado: fine, see sound?
[11:20] <skegeek> I told xrandr to add a new mode, which worked until after a freeze/reboot, it reverted saying it couldn't apply stored configurations. And, when I tried to redo xrandr commands, it prints help info.
[11:20] <hroi> hi,
[11:20] <hroi> is there an ubuntu sound distro?
[11:20] <skegeek> hroi: Try Ubuntu Studio?
[11:20] <wado> almoxarife : the same
[11:20] <hroi> one more thoroughly checked linux sound software
[11:21] <hroi> many of the jackctrl sequencer seem a bit borken
[11:21] <hroi> ohh
[11:21] <hroi> skegeek: thanks
[11:21] <almoxarife> wado: the same? no idea what that means
[11:22] <wado> almoxarife : I see a "sound" tap, clicking it opens the same sound pref.
[11:22] <zamba> i'm trying to set up samba 3.4 as a PDC.. anyone able to help me?

[11:25] <Duker> How can I run a .sh program from a second drive?
[11:25] <lolcat> Duker: ./program.sh?

[11:25] <ActionParsnip> zamba: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSambaPDC
[11:26] <skegeek> I see Ubuntu has gone down hill in terms of stability.
[11:26] <ActionParsnip> Duker: mark the file as executable
[11:26] <Jmscomtech> How do  I repair a grub from disc for 11.10
[11:26] <almoxarife> wado: can you image.bin your desktop?
[11:26] <ActionParsnip> Jmscomtech: www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/09/live-usb-sticking-grub-2-video
[11:26] <er4z0r> hi
[11:26] <Duker> ActionParsnip: Thanks
[11:27] <Jmscomtech> Im using fone only have irc working
[11:27] <sarawara> i don't understand how to make bluetooth work, don't know if it's installed
[11:27] <wado> almoxarife :image.bin? what is that?
[11:27] <almoxarife> wado: snapshot of your desktop and make it avail online
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> Jmscomtech: you'll need the ubuntu live CD or USB
[11:28] <Jmscomtech> I have the 64bit disc
[11:28] <wado> almoxarife :you wanna a snap of the "sound pref." ?
[11:28] <ActionParsnip> sarawara: if you run: hcitool dev      it will show available bluetooth adapters
[11:28] <er4z0r> In my /var/log/messages I can see that my network interfaces are renamed: udev renamed network interface eth0 to eth2\n udev renamed network interface eth1 to eth3.
[11:28] <metaspike> Jmscomtech,   sudo grub-install /dev/sda  <for example>
[11:28] <almoxarife> wado: yeah, yours
[11:28] <er4z0r> Any idea why udev does that?
[11:29] <ActionParsnip> er4z0r: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1007285
[11:29] <Jmscomtech> And were I type that if I cant get into linux
[11:29] <ActionParsnip> er4z0r: http://serverfault.com/questions/48848/switch-eth0-and-eth1-in-ubuntu-server
[11:30] <metaspike> Jmscomtech, like ActionParsnip says, you would have to load a live cd first
[11:31] <sarawara> ActionParsnip, seems there are none
[11:32] <sarawara> Does it mean i
[11:32] <Jmscomtech> I go int rescue a broken system will that help ? I dnt have live diac or net as I said im on fone atm I have no net connection here
[11:32] <wado> almoxarife :http://imageshack.us/f/42/screenshot2vyo.png/
[11:32] <sarawara> Does it mean I need an extern ?
[11:32] <Duker> Hmm, still can't seem to get a .sh file to run from a second drive
[11:33] <er4z0r> ActionParsnip: thanks!
[11:33] <lolcat> Duker: chmod 777 file.sh
[11:33] <lolcat> Duker: ./file.sh
[11:33] <metaspike> Jmscomtech, can you load the recovery mode from grub?
[11:33] <Duker> ty lolcat
[11:34] <Jmscomtech> Im in rescue mode
[11:34] <metaspike> then - sudo grub-install /dev/sda    will reinstall grub to sda
[11:37] <ActionParsnip> sarawara: then you may need to take extra steps to get it working
[11:37] <ActionParsnip> lolcat: why 777 ?
[11:37] <ActionParsnip> Duker: cmod +x file.sh   is all it needs
[11:37] <ActionParsnip> *chmod
[11:38] <lolcat> ActionParsnip: I don't know the owner of the file, and I deemed it easier to just give all rigths to everyone
[11:38] <lolcat> ActionParsnip: I assume it is safe to let everyone edit it, but what do I know.
[11:38] <Jmscomtech> Damn shell disnt recognise it
[11:39] <h2010n> Hi all when i'm installing my VGA(ATI) : Sorry, installation of this driver failed.
[11:39] <h2010n> Please have a look at the log file for details: /var/log/jockey.log
[11:39] <h2010n> What can i do?
[11:39] <ActionParsnip> h2010n: are you fully updated?
[11:39] <lolcat> h2010n: Pastebin /var/log/jockey.log?
[11:39] <h2010n> no!
[11:40] <h2010n> ActionParsnip,no
[11:40] <h2010n> lolcat: ?
[11:40] <h2010n> i go to update!
[11:40] <ActionParsnip> h2010n: then get fully updated, then reboot and attempt to install the driver. It will upgrade jockey and the kernel more than likely
[11:40] <lolcat> ok
[11:41] <Duker> lolcat: still wont let me run it on the second drive like it will in the home folder afer chmod
[11:41] <wado> almoxarife :still there ?
[11:41] <lolcat> Duker: What does it say? Any output at all?
[11:42] <Duker> No output after chmod
[11:42] <ActionParsnip> Duker: no output == good news
[11:42] <Duker> Still doesn't present the 'run in terminal' option when I double click the file.sh
[11:42] <lolcat> Duker: Did you do ./file.sh?
[11:43] <Duker> I didnt
[11:43] <lolcat> And you are sure you did the chmod on the rigth file?
[11:43] <lolcat> Rigth click and check if it is executable
[11:43] <metaspike> Duker, you can explicitly run a file with  - sh whatever.sh -  but if you - chmod +x whatever.sh - then you should be able to ./whatever.sh just fine. oh. gnome stuff.. lol, i dunno.
[11:43] <Duker> It isn't, and wont let me keep it checked as executable
[11:44] <ActionParsnip> Duker: is the file stored on an ntfs partition?
[11:44] <Duker> It is
[11:44] <almoxarife> wado: what I saw does not look like what I see on mine, mine is 11.10 though, but I expected to see the two options, one for the speaker and the other for earphones, I thought that was the case in all the versions I have gone thru, I also have a toshiba satellite
[11:44] <VCoolio> Duker: did you mount the drive with exec option? check with 'mount'
[11:44] <ActionParsnip> Duker: that's why then
[11:44] <bal_> i am new to ubuntu  i can't update packeges  becouse i am behind some firewall which not allow some pakegers like media mp3 etc
[11:44] <Duker> How should the partition be formated for a .sh to run?
[11:44] <bal_> how can update this ?
[11:45] <ActionParsnip> Duker: you will nee to mount the entire partition as executable for it to be runable, or you can copy it to the Linux partition and mark it as executable there
[11:45] <wado> almoxarife : so??
[11:45] <ActionParsnip> bal_: try a proxy
[11:45] <password> ðóññêèå åñòü ?
[11:45] <Duker> ActionParsnip: so ext4 also?
[11:45] <almoxarife> wado: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[11:45] <ActionParsnip> Duker: yes, same difference
[11:45] <Duker> ActionParsnip: ty
[11:45] <bal_> how to find proxy and setup in ubuntu  steps pls
[11:46] <wado> almoxarife : what does that install? what is ubuntu-desktop ?
[11:46] <ActionParsnip> bal_: there are various proxies you can use as well as public ones online
[11:46] <almoxarife> wado: it brings in anything that is missing from a install of ubuntu-desktop
[11:47] <wado> almoxarife : it gives me > ubuntu-desktop is already the newest version. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded.
[11:47] <bal_> how to set it for updates?
[11:47] <sarawara> ActionParsnip, extra steps meaning that i need to have an extern device for bleutooth?
[11:48] <metaspike> wado, did you try pauvmixer?
[11:48] <wado> almoxarife : no, how try it? what is it??
[11:48] <almoxarife> wado: good, nothing missing, but you still can't hear thru earphones right?
[11:48] <ActionParsnip> sarawara: first you will need to verify you have a bluetooth adapter in the system, if you are using a laptop be sure it is enabled in BIOS
[11:49] <wado> almoxarife : yes
[11:49] <Avi_> Please help http://pastebin.com/uu5czCEE
[11:49] <sarawara> ActionParsnip How do I do that 'enabling in BIOS' ?
[11:49] <sarawara> And how do I know there is a Bluetooth adapter in the system
[11:50] <ActionParsnip> sarawara: is it a laptop?
[11:50] <bal_> how to set proxy  for update ubuntu ?
[11:50] <sarawara> yes
[11:50] <almoxarife> wado: the only thing left is to check for mutes with the alsa-mixer tool
[11:51] <skyball> how can i set Transmission to download only one at a time?
[11:51] <ActionParsnip> sarawara: what make and model?
[11:51] <wado> almoxarife : when I connect the headphone, the sound still comes from my speaker and nothing from the headphone
[11:51] <metaspike> wado, pauvmixer is the defacto audio mixer for pulseaudio. seeing as it's a program, you could learn about it with ' man pauvmixer '
[11:51] <almoxarife> skyball: pause others

[11:52] <nijula> Hi can you suggest an unbuntu book
[11:52] <almoxarife> wado: it's a mystery. ochala that someone else has an idea
[11:52] <ActionParsnip> skyball: is there no setting in the preferences?
[11:52] <Clerisy> Is there a way to change random pixels on mass photos?
[11:52] <ActionParsnip> sarawara: have you tried oneiric liveCD? The later kernel may detect the bluetooth device
[11:53] <metaspike> sarawara, if you did a  - dmesg | grep bluetooth - you would find out quick enough.
[11:53] <wado> almoxarife : you mean you have no idea ?
[11:54] <sarawara> ActionParsnip, I don't understand what that means
[11:54] <skyball> is there a way in ?terminal?
[11:54] <almoxarife> wado: yes that is exactly it, I am all out of them
[11:54] <metaspike> Clerisy, there is, one could use imagemagick to accomplish such trickery.
[11:54] <metaspike> Clerisy, or gimp batch scripts.
[11:54] <wado> almoxarife : thank you anyhow
[11:54] <bal_> proxy is blocked by fire wall
[11:54] <ActionParsnip> sarawara: ahh, do you dual boot?
[11:54] <sarawara> metaspike,  I don't get anything, or does it take sometime
[11:54] <almoxarife> wado: good luck
[11:54] <ActionParsnip> skyball: there is transmission-cli  you can configure it there
[11:55] <Clerisy> how do I launch imagemagick, metaspike ? It says its already installed
[11:55] <skyball> thank you
[11:55] <sarawara> no, no dual boot, lost windows CD some time ago, and have had a new hard drive a year ago
[11:55] <ActionParsnip> sarawara: do you use windows on the PC as well as ubuntu?
[11:55] <sarawara> no windows
[11:55] <almoxarife> skyball: you want only one torrent at a time right?
[11:55] <metaspike> sarawara, sorry it's  - dmesg | grep Bluetooth
[11:55] <ActionParsnip> sarawara: seems it needs enabling in Windows then you can boot to Ubuntu and use it. Source: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup
[11:56] <ActionParsnip> sarawara: there may be an option in BIOS to enable it by default, if you reboot and press F! and Del a lot it will show and you can view the settings.
[11:56] <skyball> thats right
[11:56] <sarawara> metaspike: dmesg | grep Bluetooth

[12:00] <almoxarife> skyball: a torrent does not usually start at the max speed, most don't, to help it though increase your upload speed, yes, upload speed
[12:01] <sarawara> I don't understand this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup page , too many things I don't know what they are, like i don't have a dongle, and don't know what scripts are and so
[12:01] <metaspike> sarawara, try sudo apt-get install gnome-bluetooth, if that fails miserably. there's apt-get install bluetooth, a could be the easy way to fire either one up
[12:01] <Clerisy> how do I launch imagemagick, metaspike ? It says its already installed
[12:01] <ActionParsnip> sarawara: same difference, it's still connected to the usb bus
[12:01] <ActionParsnip> sarawara: try the command I gave, you may need a package from dell or elsewhere to get it
[12:01] <owenll> Clerisy: it is a command line utility
[12:02] <Clerisy> oh owenll
[12:02] <metaspike> Clerisy, http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/  - what your asking for is pretty out there, so i just figured form experience that this could do it if nothing else
[12:02] <sarawara> ActionParsnip sudo dellWirelessCtl --sw_bt 1 --bt 1 , you sure there is not a typo?
[12:03] <ActionParsnip> Clerisy: imagemagick isn't a command itself, it adds commands like 'convert'
[12:03] <ActionParsnip> sarawara: read the bug page I posted, it's there too
[12:03] <owenll> Clerisy: you could try Converseen which gives you a gui http://converseen.sourceforge.net/
[12:03] <Clerisy> Do you know which function can do what I would like owenll ?
[12:04] <ActionParsnip> Clerisy: what is your goal?
[12:05] <owenll> Clarisy: sorry just joined - what do you need to do?
[12:05] <Clerisy> ActionParsnip» to randomize a pixel on mass images or change them all to randomized exif data

[12:06] <sarawara> ActionParsnip, I get command not found, copy/pasted it both from here and from
[12:06] <sarawara> bugwebsite
[12:07] <wi-nick> @search stephen clarke
[12:08] <metaspike> Avi_, you can try installing usbmount, although i found devices where slower with it than mounting manually or adding them to /etc/fstab
[12:09] <ActionParsnip> sarawara: like I said, you may need to find the command yourself, dell may provide the command
[12:09] <ActionParsnip> sarawara: you could even ask on the post where the command comes froom....
[12:10] <Avi_> :metaspike ok thanx
[12:10] <metaspike> Avi_, for example something like this into fstab:  /dev/sdc1       /media/usb0   defaults user,auto     0       0
[12:11] <metaspike> but yeah, usbmount is definately easier if it works
[12:12] <lolboat> um
[12:13] <lolboat> in bash scripting

[12:13] <lolboat> how do i keep gedit open
[12:13] <Avi_> metaspike: but how can using boot repair cause these issues?
[12:13] <lolboat> and allow the script to continue?
[12:13] <VCoolio> lolboat: gedit &
[12:13] <somsip> lolboat: gedit &
[12:13] <Avi_> metaspike: seems weird
[12:13] <lolboat> Thank you.
[12:14] <metaspike> Avi_, i have absolutely no idea, next time you can reinstall grub using the documented tool grub install... grub-install /dev/sda
[12:15] <Avi_> metaspike: ok thanks a lot.
[12:19] <lahwran> hey, someone on a fairly vanilla ubuntu desktop system mind doing `find /usr -type f -name '*.py' | curl -F 'sprunge=<-' http://sprunge.us` and linking me the output (after checking that you're okay with it, of course)? I'd like to see what kind of python scripts are on a pretty plain ubuntu system
[12:20] <vmrrdc14> vmrrdc14
[12:20] <lahwran> vmrrdc14
[12:22] <vmrrdc14> what is this
[12:25] <MonkeyDust> what is vanilla ubuntu?
[12:26] <lahwran> not many packages installed
[12:26] <lahwran> on top of the normal ones, that is
[12:29] <ActionParsnip> lahwran: I would but I'm using Lubuntu 12.04 which isn't much use to you :)
[12:32] <MonkeyDust> !info vanilla
[12:34] <dragonslay> hey ubuntu people, ask me anything.
[12:34] <MonkeyDust> ok, dragonslay : what is vanilla ubuntu?
[12:35] <mix22891> Hello! there is a way to know if computer(laptop) that i want to buy. with rootkit???
[12:35] <callaghan> Happy holidays, everyone. I just got a Thinkpad X121e for christmas, which is Ubuntu-certified for 11.04. I installed 11.10 yesterday, and I have two questions: a) The FN key is reversed. I have to press it to use the F-keys, it should be the other way round. b) The sound seems to come from a great distance, I can barely understand when someone speaks in a video and it crackles at the...
[12:35] <callaghan> ...beginning, but that goes away after a few seconds. Thanks for your answers.
[12:35] <dragonslay> monkeydust: well, it just has no desktop envirnment
[12:35] <pksadiq> !vanilla
[12:35] <ActionParsnip> mix22891: that isn't a full sentence...
[12:36] <keratacon> I did something stupid and rm'ed the contents of /etc/apache2, thinking that if I removed the package and reinstalled it, I'd get a new /etc/apache2 with all the defaults restored.  Turns out that didn't work, and now /etc/apache2 is still empty.  Is there a way to get the apache2 package to rebuild those directories and files?
[12:36] <Ryllez89> dragonslay, help me customize my ubuntu 11.10 =x
[12:36] <ActionParsnip> keratacon: use your backups is going to be the easiest way
[12:36] <dragonslay> ryllez89: sure!
[12:36] <mix22891> ActionParsnip> there is a lot levels of rootkits. he can install it in the computer or somting?
[12:37] <axtheb> keratacon: did you really purged the package?
[12:37] <ActionParsnip> mix22891: who can?
[12:37] <callaghan> mix22891: You want to check if a laptop you want to buy has a rootkit preinstalled?
[12:37] <mix22891> yes
[12:37] <mbrochh> Hey all... I have a very weird issue when using ALT+TAB to switch between windows. The new window appears but it seems as if the screen doesn't refresh until I resize that window.
[12:37] <keratacon> axtheb: think so, but for reference, how do I do that?
[12:37] <mix22891> yes
[12:37] <ActionParsnip> mix22891: you can use rkhunter in liveCD
[12:37] <mix22891> callaghan>  yes, before i going to buy that laptop
[12:37] <keratacon> (this is a development virtualhost, my ignorance isn't allowed near a real server)
[12:37] <ActionParsnip> mbrochh: does it happen with all window switcher plugins
[12:37] <almoxarife> mix22891: and the owner/seller is going to say what to your request?
[12:38] <Ryllez89> dragonslay, any sugestion? im new on linux but i dont like the unity menu.. i want to change it the theme :p
[12:38] <ActionParsnip> mix22891: you could ask the same of any seller of any system
[12:38] <mbrochh> ActionParsnip: yes... just found something on google... seems to be related to mipmap.... and it turns out just today i changed my plugin to show screenshots instead of icons...
[12:38] <mbrochh> I will disable mipmap
[12:38] <ActionParsnip> mbrochh: use ring switcher instead ;)
[12:38] <dragonslay> ryllez89: try amaranth
 i'm affrade of rootkits
[12:39] <mbrochh> ha! disabling mipmap solved the issue
[12:39] <axtheb> keratacon: I whould do purge action in aptitude (underscore key). I dont use graphical tools
[12:39] <callaghan> mix22891: like ActionParsnip said, if you have access you can try http://www.rootkit.nl/projects/rootkit_hunter.html
[12:39] <Ryllez89> dragonslay, it change the menu too?
[12:40] <dragonslay> ryllez89: the ubuntu menu?
[12:40] <ssbr> Help! I upgraded ubuntu and now whenever I use hg, it complains: *** failed to import extension hgview: No module named hgview
[12:40] <Ryllez89> dragonslay, yes, remove the Unity
[12:40] <ssbr> But if I apt-get install hgview, it says I already have that installed.
[12:40] <ActionParsnip> mix22891: I suggest you research the seller as much as you can, I doubt anything mallicious will happen as it will damage reputation of the seller and harm future sales
[12:40] <ActionParsnip> ssbr: are there any bugs reported?
[12:41] <dragonslay> ryllez89: to remove unity you got to install GNOMe or KDE from synaptic
[12:41] <keratacon> axtheb "aptitude purge apache2" followed by "aptitude install apache2" did not regenerate the .conf files
[12:41] <mix22891> callaghan>ok,thank you, i just want to besure if he can install rootkit on the hardware. that true?
[12:41] <ActionParsnip> dragonslay: unity session uses gnome, so it will already be installed
[12:42] <pksadiq> Ryllez89: better not to remove unity. just switch to Ubuntu class while logging in
[12:42] <ssbr> ActionParsnip: I can't find one. Doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Apparently Ubuntu has tons of issues with hgview :(
[12:42] <ActionParsnip> Ryllez89: install xfce4, log off, log into XFCE session and be ok
[12:42] <callaghan> mix22891: I have read about rootkits that can survive a full format somewhere, but I don't know if they actually exist or not :)
[12:42] <ActionParsnip> ssbr: did you self compile the module?
[12:42] <ssbr> ActionParsnip: no.
[12:43] <ssbr> I have done nothing outside of the package manager w.r.t. hg or hgview
[12:43] <ActionParsnip> ssbr: what if you run:  sudo modprobe hg
[12:43] <dragonslay> ActionParsnip: are you a bot?
[12:43] <ActionParsnip> ssbr: I'm assuming that's what it is, i don't use the app
[12:43] <ssbr> FATAL: Module hg not found.
[12:43] <ActionParsnip> dragonslay: no, i'm a dude
 so what do do? to buy a new comuter?
[12:43] <ActionParsnip> ssbr: is that how it's used
[12:43] <callaghan> mix22891: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/03/24/persistent_bios_rootkits/
 from the compeny?
[12:43] <almoxarife> mix22891: perhaps this will make you feel a bit easier,  Torvalds said in a post to LKLM.org that the move was simply a way to put the new code out there, rather than an indictment of the situation at kernel.org, which is still suffering after attackers gained root access to its servers using the Phalanx self-injecting rootkit. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/09/06/linus_torvalds_dumps_kernel_for_github/, I know I feel better
[12:44] <ssbr> ActionParsnip: the command-line program is called "hg", yes
[12:44] <dragonslay> ActionParsnip: you type so fast and good memory
[12:44] <callaghan> mix22891: well if you boot from a CD and run rkhunter, that usually finds all rootkits
[12:45] <Ryllez89> ActionParsnip, i dont like the unity auto hide and dont have a button to show the desktop
[12:45] <callaghan> mix22891: alternatively, if you flash the BIOS and install a new operating system on the hard disk, then every possible form of rootkit should be dead...
[12:45] <Ryllez89> ;(
[12:45] <sarawara> I'm sorry ActionParship, thanks for the time, but I must go now, will have to find out about this command and why it doesn't work later
[12:45] <ActionParsnip> dragonslay: been using the OS a lonnnng time, plus my duckduck go skills are sweet :)
[12:46] <dragonslay> ryllez89: you can login to gnome fro login screen
[12:46] <ActionParsnip> Ryllez89: show desktop I believe is CTRL+ALT+D
[12:46] <ActionParsnip> Ryllez89: xfce looks and smells like Gnome2 used to
[12:46] <mix22891> callaghan> thank you
[12:46] <mix22891> almoxarife> thank you
[12:47] <callaghan> mix22891: good luck
[12:48] <dragonslay> ActionParsnip: dont' you think ubuntu is buggy
[12:48] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[12:49] <dragonslay> i got splitted
[12:50] <pksadiq> did something happen? why does FloodBot1 talk like this?
[12:51] <mix22891> just a moment! what about win7 that i've buy from china? thy crate it in the factory
[12:51] <ActionParsnip> dragonslay: not had an issue with it, are you sure you don't mean compiz is buggy, or gnome is buggy...?
[12:51] <Ryllez89> ActionParsnip, i want let my ubuntu like this http://i.imgur.com/tZ8N7.png
[12:51] <ActionParsnip> mix22891: could still have keyloggers and such installed
[12:51] <mix22891> fake DVíé ãéïà
[12:51] <mix22891> oh shit
[12:52] <mix22891> i'm using AVG, i've scan for rootkit and all that
[12:53] <lordjj> How do I disbale TV1? X thinks its plugged but its not. http://paste.ubuntu.com/785643/
[12:53] <clean> Anybody know how to enable the beep when shutting down ?
[12:53] <dragonslay> ActionParsnip: wakealarm is a ubuntu problem , right?
[12:54] <ActionParsnip> Ryllez89: bottom bit looks like docky
[12:54] <mix22891> i'm think i'm going to drop that dvd away.. and change all the password :(
[12:54] <ActionParsnip> dragonslay: not sure, not heard of that one
[12:54] <ActionParsnip> dragonslay: then the thing on the right is conky
[12:54] <mix22891> i have no money to buy orginal dvd
[12:55] <ActionParsnip> mix22891: just download one and MD5 test it
[12:55] <dragonslay> ActionParsnip: i like conky. less on resources
[12:55] <mix22891> Md5?
[12:55] <ActionParsnip> !md5 | mix22891
[12:56] <ActionParsnip> dragonslay: I don't use it, pretty pointless imho
[12:57] <Tiago666> Hello guys, anybody can help me with a new Ubuntu installation and the FGLRX drivers ?
[12:58] <dragonslay> ActionParsnip: i need the network monitoring tool which comes with conky. i have a monthly download limit of 1.5GB in my country.
 thank you! can i scan with md5 the win7 dvd that i've?
[12:58] <mix22891> for rootkits and all that?
[12:59] <mix22891> and the ubuntu cd that i've download.
[12:59] <ActionParsnip> dragonslay: gotcha, makes sense
[12:59] <ActionParsnip> mix22891: you can md5 test in Win7, you then know the data is complete and correct
[13:00] <mix22891> md5 is a software?
[13:00] <mix22891> to scan for rootkits and all that?
[13:01] <ActionParsnip> mix22891: read the link ubottu gave
[13:01] <mix22891> ok
[13:01] <mix22891> gotta go
[13:02] <mix22891> thanks alot!!! to you all
[13:02] <dragonslay> mix22891: try hash calc fro windows
[13:02] <mix22891> i've saved the log.

[13:03] <mix22891> dragonslay> whats that?
[13:03] <mix22891> i've just using windows for games
[13:03] <dragonslay> mix22891: it can generate md5 of given input file
[13:04] <CaBa> hi
[13:04] <mix22891> input? no output?
[13:04] <mix22891> to read the log?
[13:05] <mathews> I want to download youtube videos after it buffered.Where can I see the video youtube buffered?
[13:05] <ActionParsnip> mathews: there is youtube-dl in the repos, or browser extensions and addons you can install to easily download them
[13:05] <CaBa> i'm using an nvidia vga device with 10.04 LTS... i'd like to switch to the prop. driver, however, the dialog that shows up under "system -> administration -> hardware drivers" does not list any driver
[13:05] <ActionParsnip> mathews: is your intention to MP3 rip afterwards by any chance?
[13:06] <mathews> ActionParsnip, no,the video
[13:06] <ActionParsnip> CaBa: which nvidia chip are you using?
[13:06] <CaBa> ActionParsnip: no idea
[13:06] <ActionParsnip> mathews: i'd go for the addons
[13:06] <CaBa> ActionParsnip: 03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Device 10c3 (rev a2)
[13:06] <ActionParsnip> CaBa: is it quite a recent nvidia chip?
[13:07] <sabgenton> how do i get sun/oracle JDK?
[13:07] <mathews> ActionParsnip, do u know where the video stored after buffered?
[13:07] <sabgenton> it's   not in sources anymore....
[13:07] <mix22891> to be sure, i'll use orginal dvd of windows
[13:07] <CaBa> ActionParsnip: bought recently yes, but i dont think its a recent one, i just asked for the cheapest card without a fan in the store
[13:07] <ActionParsnip> CaBa: seems to be an nvidia 8400
[13:07] <mix22891> to be more sure, i'll buy new laptop from compeny
[13:08] <ActionParsnip> CaBa: if you run:  sudo apt-get install nvidia-current    it should be ok, why not install a later release like Oneiric?
[13:08] <CaBa> ActionParsnip: there is not newer LTS
[13:08] <mix22891> that's for sure
[13:08] <mix22891> goodbye

[13:09] <wildc4rd> Please would someone remind me how to install a new app under Wine
[13:09] <ActionParsnip> wildc4rd: right click the windows binary and click 'open with wine'
[13:09] <jussi> wildc4rd: should be just a double click on the exe ?
[13:09] <ActionParsnip> wildc4rd: the file must be marked as executable
[13:10] <wildc4rd> mmm, wine dosn't show up in the program list
[13:11] <jussi> wildc4rd: have you got wine installed?
[13:11] <ActionParsnip> wildc4rd: sudo apt-get install wine1.3
[13:11] <jussi> (stupid question, yes)
[13:11] <GoldenHamster> back
[13:11] <ActionParsnip> wildc4rd: you'll need to use TAB then ENTER to accept the license
[13:11] <ActionParsnip> jussi: its simple yet effective
[13:11] <Wombatsmann> Hi
[13:12] <jussi> ActionParsnip: :)

[13:12] <Wombatsmann> My BT Headset is not listed in the audio device list of skype
[13:12] <dragonslay> pksadiq: yea
[13:13] <wildc4rd> rofl, one of the past updates must have killed it, reinstatement of wine has resolved the issue, cheers ActionParsnip/jussi
[13:13] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[13:13] <ActionParsnip> jussi: see :D
[13:13] <jussi> wildc4rd: yw
[13:13] <jussi> ActionParsnip: hehe, yeah :D
[13:15] <sabgenton> wildc4rd: WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine/ wine ~/.wine/<path to your prog>
[13:15] <sabgenton> if  it's installed
[13:15] <sabgenton> but that's only if clicking doesn't work
[13:16] <jami> wich ubuntu image should i download to run on a macbook pro 8.1
[13:16] <jami> i only found amd64 images which confuse me
[13:16] <sabgenton> your can change your WINEPREFIX to something else if you want to experiment in a controlled environment
[13:16] <wildc4rd> its resolved thank you sabgenton, wine had been killed somewhere in the last 4 or 5 updates
[13:17] <jussi> jami: either of them should work, amd64 is hte 64bit
[13:17] <jami> because apple never build something with amd
[13:17] <ActionParsnip> jami: amd64 will work on 64bit intel
[13:17] <sabgenton> how do i get sun/oracle JDK?
[13:17] <jussi> jami: amd64 works on intel processors also
[13:17] <sabgenton> has cannonical decared it total evil?
[13:17] <sabgenton> wildc4rd: :)
[13:17] <jussi> sabgenton: its unsupported now, but it is available from the oracle website
[13:18] <sabgenton> jussi: does android sdk work with the open one?
[13:18] <jussi> sabgenton: I dont think so
[13:18] <Guest96231> how can i have premition to change filesystem names or copy to make a backup file etc without being from command line?

[13:18] <sabgenton> stupid open source
[13:19] <jussi> sabgenton: no, silly google. ;)
[13:19] <ActionParsnip> jami: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[13:20] <Guest96231>  did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?

[13:21] <tavelram> hi there. Id like to zoom out/scale out a window so that it takes up less pixels on the screen. Kind of like xrandr --scale, but or a single window. Freewins compiz plugin is depr and doesn't translate input. Im using ubuntu 10.04 with compiz. Any suggestions?
[13:22] <Guest96231> i want to change configs and so on without going to command line
[13:23] <dragonslay> Guest96231: dejadup is a gtk+ app
[13:23] <dr_willis> Guest96231:  depeneds on what configs exactly. Not everything has a gui front end.
[13:23] <ActionParsnip> Guest96231: add a menu entry to run:  gksudo nautilus   and you can edit what you want
[13:23] <clean> What is `interactive shell' ? What's the diff between interactive and non-interactive shell ?
[13:23] <Guest96231> i just want to copy and delete files from filysystem withou command line
[13:24] <dr_willis> clean:  a interactive is getting user input, a non interactive is like ran by cron, and does not.

[13:25] <mix22891> i don't want rootkits
[13:25] <dr_willis> clean:  only reason i even rember the feature is from reading some bash books. :)

[13:26] <dr_willis> its using the 'gtk' libs, part of the gnome stuff Guest96231
[13:26] <MonkeyDust> Guest96231  gk is to run a gui

[13:27] <dr_willis> i think gksudo and gksu  are identical on ubuntu. but may not be on other disrtos

[13:33] <znh> could it be something like malware? it is ubuntu

[13:34] <Guest96231> )
[13:35] <sahed> ActionParsnip, it just not works in ubuntu , in other O.S. does !
[13:35] <ActionParsnip> Guest96231: use a small 3Gb partition for /home then have an NTFS partition to actually store your music and images
[13:36] <ActionParsnip> sahed: what other OSes have you tried?
[13:37] <sahed> ActionParsnip, windows xp
[13:37] <Guest96231> but i  what linux to know that  i keep my images photos and documents (not usr configuration) in a difrerent location
[13:37] <ActionParsnip> Guest96231: basically your user data in NTFS but settings folders for apps and the other stuff in Ext4
[13:37] <ActionParsnip> sahed: Companies support windows very well as it makes them more money, I notice it uses a small USB dongle, is that a bluetooth thing?
[13:38] <Boreeas> I can't figure out how to install the sun jdk1.6. I apt-get it, but it isn't saved where it should be (/lib/jvm or /usr/lib/jvm)
[13:38] <Boreeas> Any help?
[13:38] <ActionParsnip> Guest96231: you can delete the user folders in your home folder and make symlinks to the folders on the NTFS
[13:38] <MonkeyDust> windows is the Main Stream, it's as simple as that, there has to be a mainstream
[13:39] <mellpatr> anyone uses harvest plugin in eclipse?
[13:39] <ActionParsnip> Boreeas: you will need to manually install java now
[13:39] <znh> MonkeyDust: mainstream for desktops yes
[13:39] <Guest96231> like the download folder, or music folder or images folder, to be in defualt in the ntfs?
[13:39] <MonkeyDust> znh  correct
[13:39] <terpojok> i was trying to boot ubuntu desktop 11.10 live but it stop at "loading bootlogo".. any solution?
[13:39] <Boreeas> ActionParsnip: what's the packet in the apt repo then?
[13:40] <ActionParsnip> Guest96231: yes, you can make those on the shared NTFS partition and link it, the OS will see the 'normal' folders but the real storage will be done by the ntfs
[13:40] <ActionParsnip> Boreeas: Oracle changed the license
[13:40] <Boreeas> Hmm, alright
[13:40] <ActionParsnip> Boreeas: its not hard to install manually
[13:41] <Guest96231> but when i click "home Folder" it doesnt go to ntfs partition right?
[13:42] <ActionParsnip> Guest96231: not by default, you will need to make the links yourself.
[13:42] <Guest96231> i mean the home folder button
[13:42] <dragonslay> guest96231: try making a link
[13:42] <Guest96231> im not expressing right
[13:42] <ActionParsnip> Guest96231: no, that will go to the home folder as normal
[13:42] <Guest96231> hum
[13:42] <Guest96231> who i do that?
[13:43] <ActionParsnip> Guest96231: but the files held in the NTFS will need to be linked to
[13:43] <ActionParsnip> Guest96231: ln -s foldername /path/to/real/folder
[13:44] <perrerio> hello ppi
[13:44] <perrerio> ppl
[13:44] <perrerio> respect
[13:44] <Guest96231> it works like so?:  ln -s home folder /media/ntsfpartitionname/My Documents
[13:45] <llutz> other way round: ln -s what-original where-the-symlink
[13:45] <Unknown272> hi can anyone reccomend a good ubuntu app which lets me annotate ppt, pptx and pdf documents. I dont want to edit them, just write notes on top of them.
[13:47] <perrerio> can anyone tell me why my pc is suddenly having less and less space at each reboot
[13:47] <ActionParsnip> Guest96231: no like:   cd $HOME; ln -s Docs /media/ntfspartitionname/My\ Documents
[13:48] <fidel> perrerio: on cli the 'df' command minght help
[13:48] <ActionParsnip> Guest96231: now if you access or save to ~/Docs  it will be REALLY on the NTFS partition, its a really simple concept
[13:48] <Guest96231> ok
[13:49] <llutz> ActionParsnip:  "ln -s  /media/ntfspartitionname/My\ Documents ~/Docs"                  ln [OPTION]... [-T] TARGET LINK_NAME
[13:49] <Guest96231> how can i know the "foldername" in linux?
[13:49] <colton_> ls -l
[13:49] <Boreeas> What do I open .bin files with?
[13:49] <colton_> cd .bin
[13:49] <jbeitler> Boreeas: do you want to open or run?
[13:50] <Boreeas> jbeitler: latter
[13:50] <colton_> cat .bin (run)
[13:50] <pksadiq> Boreeas: most probably ./filename.bin     in bash might do, if its an executable
[13:50] <sahed> ActionParsnip, it 's not , it is simply radio frequency 2.4 Ghz
[13:50] <fidel> perrerio: or 'baobab' if you are looking for something graphical
[13:51] <ActionParsnip> llutz: thanks
[13:51] <NeonTiger> Hi - I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 and have found that I can't get a login screen when my machine sleeps
[13:51] <ActionParsnip> Guest96231: the link you make up, the thing you link to is an existing folder
[13:51] <back-trak> hi all
[13:51] <perrerio> fidel: thanks, but tell me why my encrypted home folder is having all the HDD space of my disk
[13:51] <NeonTiger> Any ideas? It's really making my machine unusable
[13:51] <ActionParsnip> Guest96231: as llutz pointed out, its:  ln -s source dest
[13:51] <geirha> Boreeas: .bin tells us absolutely nothing about what type of file it is. It could be anything. Determine the file-type by either right-clicking the file and looking at its properties, or run the "file" command on it.
[13:51] <Boreeas> Ah, that was the problem
[13:52] <Boreeas> I had to to chmod +x first
[13:52] <colton_> anyone using ubuntu on laptop?
[13:52] <ActionParsnip> Boreeas: bin files are executables, what did you download?
[13:52] <fidel> colton_: for sure some inhere
[13:52] <ActionParsnip> colton_: indeed
[13:52] <NeonTiger> colton_: Yes and I'm having issues with it
[13:52] <perrerio> fidel: and as root my HDD is two time bigger
[13:52] <back-trak> what the neww in metasploit project?????
[13:52] <geirha> ActionParsnip: Sometimes executables
[13:52] <Boreeas> ActionParsnip: The sun jdk 6u30 installer, but it kept trying to open in notepad, therefore my confusion
[13:52] <fidel> perrerio: try to describe your issue in one line - not peu-a-peu
[13:53] <perrerio> fidel: sorry
[13:53] <ActionParsnip> Boreeas: mark it as executable and run it in terminal, I suggest you move it to /opt first
[13:53] <Boreeas> colton_: I am
[13:54] <perrerio> Fidel: pas de probleme!
[13:54] <colton_> how do i send msg to specific person?
[13:54] <geirha> Boreeas: Yeah, .bin should really suggest it is a binary file, but for some reason a lot of software providers slap it on shell scripts.
[13:54] <llutz> colton_: /msg nick blah
[13:54] <fidel> colton_: /query might help
[13:55] <perrerio> fidel: sorry but I don't know where to start
[13:56] <ActionParsnip> Boreeas: or even better, copy it to /usr/lib/jvm
[13:56] <perrerio> fidel: sudeenly my laptop is having zero MB free and X do not work
[13:56] <ActionParsnip> Boreeas: I made a script for it: http://paste.ubuntu.com/785704/
[13:56] <ActionParsnip> Boreeas: ;)
[13:57] <ActionParsnip> Boreeas: 32bit of course
[13:57] <Boreeas> ActionParsnip: Thanks, I think I've already done it. Let me just check if it worked real quick
[13:59] <llutz> ActionParsnip: "sudo mv ./jdk1.7.0 ."   sure that is what you want to do?
[14:00] <gigenieks> hi guys. I need to create user which allows to browse internet etc but doesn't allow to browse other user home folder (Xubuntu). What permisions I need to disable or enable??
[14:01] <ActionParsnip> llutz: after a cd, yes
[14:01] <ActionParsnip> llutz: hmm, let me review
[14:01] <llutz> ActionParsnip: ever tried it? will result in a "... are same file" error
[14:01] <jbeitler> gigenieks: unless something has changed normal users cannot browse others home directory by default
[14:02] <jbeitler> gigenieks: only root can do this
[14:02] <llutz> ActionParsnip: sudo mv oldpath/jdk1.7.0 .            i guess is what you want
[14:02] <iceroot> jbeitler: default is 750
[14:02] <ActionParsnip> llutz: seems to be the old version..
[14:02] <iceroot> jbeitler: on ~
[14:03] <jbeitler> iceroot: but you should not have to set this if you use the addusr command
[14:03] <jbeitler> or even the GUI tool
[14:03] <iceroot> jbeitler: no but that will allow other users to browse all home-dirs
[14:03] <gigenieks> ok lets try
[14:03] <iceroot> jbeitler: ah no, ubuntu is using username:username not username:users
[14:03] <jbeitler> iceroot: but he said no browse others dir
[14:04] <ActionParsnip> Boreeas: llutz: should be ok: http://paste.ubuntu.com/785712/
[14:05] <llutz> ActionParsnip: looks better :)
[14:05] <ActionParsnip> llutz: :)
[14:06] <llutz> iceroot: default seem to be user:user 755  for $HOME, at least on this oneiric test-install
[14:06] <sasaotuost> giorno

[14:07] <iceroot> llutz: hm i have encrypted home which has a different permission by default (700) so i cant check
[14:07] <llutz> iceroot: my debians also have 700, but i just checked my vm
[14:08] <iceroot> llutz: hm, my lenny has 755, my ubuntu (encryption) 700
[14:09] <iceroot> llutz: and i know there was a difference in ubuntu when /home/foo is encrypted
[14:09] <perrerio> what is samtala 0
[14:10] <dr_willis> perrerio:  where are you getting that from?
[14:10] <gigenieks> I created new user. And by default he CAN browse other user home folders...
[14:10] <gigenieks> Don't need that!
[14:10] <llutz> iceroot debian default is 755 too
[14:11] <iceroot> llutz: ah ok because i wondered because "your debian has 700"
[14:11] <colton_> i wonder why people use linux
[14:11] <debaino> Hello all,what is the best way to install lsb on ubuntu?.The lsbxxx .deb package is not it,too many dependencies

[14:48] <Sander^home> Stanley00, I've runned fsck on the disks
[14:49] <Sander^home> Stanley00, do you know where I can choose "Recover a broken system" on a ubuntu live cd?
[14:49] <Stanley00> Sander^home: it is on alternate cd only, AFAIK
[14:50] <Stanley00> Sander^home: did you try manuallly boot from grub command-line interface
[14:50] <Sander^home> Stanley00, I don't know how to do that in grub.
[14:50] <Sander^home> Stanley00, I got dropped to a cramfs prompt or something.
[14:50] <SyberSol> Sander^home: saw that option in the ubuntu server cd 11.10
[14:51] <Stanley00> Sander^home: when grub show a menu to choose OS, press c, then try run the following command
[14:51] <Sander^home> Stanley00, It dosn't show a menu to choose os.
[14:51] <Stanley00> Sander^home: linux /vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1 or where you installed your ubuntu
[14:52] <Stanley00> Sander^home: hmm, then try press Shift or Ctrl when you boot up, it will show a menu.
[14:52] <Stanley00> Sander^home: next coomand is "initrd /initrd.img"
[14:52] <Stanley00> Sander^home: the last command is "boot"
[14:54] <sanderj> Stanley00, ok, Im just chaging nick here..
[14:54] <sanderj> And trying
[14:55] <Stanley00> sanderj: good luck, if that does not work, you could try recover by using alternate image.
[14:55] <sanderj> Stanley00, do you know which alternate cd I can download?
[14:56] <Stanley00> sanderj: I think the one has the same version as your current ubuntu is good

[15:15] <gribouille> is it possible to know when a package was first installed and the last time it was updated?
[15:15] <DonKeys> I have a file that refuses to sync through Ubuntu One, can anyone help me?
[15:17] <iceroot> gribouille: no
[15:17] <iceroot> gribouille: but there is "apt-get changelog packagename" which should help on the last question
[15:19] <asa> ?
[15:23] <gribouille> how can I enable the autogen option while installing the debsums package?
[15:26] <stimpie> does someone know how to connect/browse to a windows share (unc path)? on the command line?
[15:27] <tdn_> I have just installed Ubuntu 11.10 on a completely new Lenovo workstation with preinstalled Windows 7. I chose to install Ubuntu side-by-side with Windows. However, when restarting after install, it just boots Windows. Not Ubuntu. I figure this has something to do with EFI or something. How do I fix this?
[15:33] <bean> tdn_: did you tell it to install the Grub bootloader when asked?
[15:33] <venkatmangudi> tdn: I think it is the MBR
[15:33] <KcGenesis> can any please solve my problem ?
[15:33] <venkatmangudi> your bootloader is not loading windows
[15:33] <bean> KcGenesis: what is your problem
[15:34] <venkatmangudi> KcGenesis: I just joined, what is the problem?
[15:34] <KcGenesis> my problem is ; http://paste.ubuntu.com/785783/ i can't install or any software .
[15:36] <bean> KcGenesis: first you might want to apt-get update, then apt-get upgrade, then trying to apt-get install bandwidthd
[15:36] <venkatmangudi> KcGenesis: looks like you need to update your repo
[15:36] <venkatmangudi> do what bean says
[15:36] <KcGenesis> venkatmangudi, and how to do that ,i am new to ubuntu.
[15:37] <tdn_> bean, yes.
[15:37] <christopher9812> whats the name of the program to automatically login at computer boot (gdm, ubuntu server 110.04)
[15:37] <venkatmangudi> in terminal type sudo apt-get update
[15:38] <bean> christopher9812: most people don't wan tot auto log in... passwords exist for a reason
[15:38] <ActionParsnip> christopher9812: why do you want to autologin at the server? seems very strange
[15:38] <bean> agreed.
[15:38] <christopher9812> The server contains all my videos and is hooked up to a projector
[15:39] <ActionParsnip> christopher9812: so surely its a desktop OS...
[15:39] <MonkeyDust> christopher9812  the purpose of a server is that you never logout or shut down
[15:39] <christopher9812> a desktop contains lots of extra programs, I installed gdm,
[15:40] <christopher9812> I dont use it as a server
[15:40] <ActionParsnip> christopher9812: I know how to set it in lightdm
[15:40] <christopher9812> okay, Ill install lightgdm
[15:40] <bean> christopher9812: there should be a setting in System -> Administration -> Login Window, or something.
[15:40] <christopher9812> I dont have panels
[15:40] <bean> christopher9812: on the security tab.
[15:40] <bean> heh
[15:41] <ActionParsnip> christopher9812: http://askubuntu.com/questions/62833/how-do-i-change-the-default-session-for-when-using-auto-logins
[15:41] <christopher9812> I have an openbox desktop, and I will play my videos by ssh 'DISPLAY=:0 mplayer -fs video.ogv'
[15:41] <bean> that sounds overly complicated
[15:41] <ActionParsnip> christopher9812: could install vlc and use it's web UI
[15:42] <ActionParsnip> christopher9812: can even control it via android phone :)
[15:42] <KcGenesis> venkatmangudi,can't do that it comes with another error;http://paste.ubuntu.com/785822/
[15:42] <Emerling> KcGenesis, download here http://sourceforge.net/projects/bandwidthd/files/bandwidthd/bandwidthd%202.0.1/
[15:42] <bean> Emerling: KcGenesis : no dont do that.
[15:42] <christopher9812> ...will the display still be on the server?
[15:43] <bean> KcGenesis: it updated the things that matter, I believe.
[15:43] <ActionParsnip> christopher9812: absolutely
[15:43] <christopher9812> you have captured an intrest
[15:43] <KcGenesis> Emerling, what not to do.?
[15:43] <bean> KcGenesis: don't do what Emerling said.
[15:43] <bean> KcGenesis: now try apt-get upgrade
[15:45] <ActionParsnip> christopher9812: when it loads, dock it to the panel and it will maximize when you play a video, you can also adjust volume and seek
[15:45] <ActionParsnip> christopher9812: plenty of vids online of it

[15:46] <ActionParsnip> christopher9812: should be ok
[15:47] <KcGenesis> how to post screenshot
[15:47] <go8765> KcGenesis, itmages.ru
[15:47] <ActionParsnip> christopher9812: although if what you have works, why change it :)
[15:48] <aturenga> hallo
[15:48] <jami> ActionParsnip: it works !! <3
[15:48] <aturenga> I need help a little bit with Unity shortcuts
[15:49] <ActionParsnip> jami: what works?
[15:49] <christopher9812> is it easy to change lightgdm resolution command line over ssh?
[15:50] <ActionParsnip> christopher9812: if you are autologging in, you won't see it
[15:50] <christopher9812> I have not set up autologin yet
[15:50] <jami> ActionParsnip: 11.04 under macbookpro 8.1
[15:50] <ActionParsnip> jami: i see, nice
[15:50] <aturenga> If I enable accessibility options, the DASH can not be invoked by Windows key
[15:50] <jami> but not with live cd
[15:50] <ActionParsnip> christopher9812: you can modify the config files via ssh ;)
[15:50] <Doonz> hey guys, I have two ethernet ports in my server eth0 is assigned to 192.168.*.* and when i try to assign eth1 to 10.0.1.* the network stops working as in i cant talk to the box anymore. Any ideas
[15:51] <KcGenesis> Emerling, while reinstalling again error is displayed ;http://itmages.ru/image/view/373913/587c30a0
[15:51] <wrek-gar>  trying to unrar a file split into 86 parts from one drive to another with the command unrar x /media/drive1/filepath /media/drive2/filepath - the problem is that it takes forever, is there any command which will make it work more quickly?
[15:51] <jami> only via usb live stick
[15:51] <ActionParsnip> jami: never saw the point in buying apple's overpriced hardware if you are just going to put ubuntu on it
[15:51] <eein> my eeepc keeps crashing to this http://img855.imageshack.us/img855/1323/img20111119084122.jpg  I would grab the text but I don't see it in messages.  When it does that I cant switch to a tty or do anything but hard reboot it
[15:51] <ActionParsnip> wrek-gar: could try unp
[15:51] <Chees_BHW> hi. my php files are being downloaded instead of displayed. can anyone help me ?
[15:52] <jami> ActionParsnip: it wasn't my choice. my company decided to switch to apple. i dont know why
[15:52] <Emerling> KcGenesis,  i see
[15:52] <wrek-gar> is unp an unpack command or something running under unrar?
[15:52] <ActionParsnip> jami: free hardware I guess. win win
[15:52] <ActionParsnip> wrek-gar: its an abstraction so you don't have to worry about unpacking syntaxes
[15:53] <ActionParsnip> wrek-gar: the speed will be largely the same, its determined by drive speed, cpu and ram etc. you could use a lower nice value like -10 to give more cpu time to the unpacking command
[15:55] <eein> anything I can do to fix the issue?  eeepc 1000h running ubuntu 11.10 up to date patches
[15:57] <MonkeyDust> eein  what are you trying to do?
[15:57] <eein> "end trace.  panic occurred, switching back to text console."  but the console never starts so I can't type anything
[15:57] <eein> MonkeyDust, nothing just using the eeepc when it just randomly fails
[15:57] <ActionParsnip> eein: is that on an installed OS or before install?
[15:57] <eein> installed
[15:58] <ActionParsnip> eein: have you tested your RAM?
[15:58] <ActionParsnip> eein: do you have the newest BIOS?
[15:58] <eein> yep not the issue memtest comes up clean and it was running mint for 2 years before.
[15:58] <wrek-gar> ActionParsnip: working a lot faster thanks
[15:58] <eein> ActionParsnip, no dont think so
[15:59] <ActionParsnip> wrek-gar: sweet
[15:59] <eein> maybe i haven't updated the bios for a while but again it runs other os without issue.  only ubuntu 11.10 i have had this
[15:59] <ActionParsnip> wrek-gar: the lowest is -20 but you will cause instabilities using that low, stay at lowest -15 and it should help
[16:00] <ActionParsnip> eein: Ubuntu may need the fixes in the newer bios, ram test is a good step to do too
[16:00] <DonKeys> how to make a file sync over ubuntu one?
[16:00] <eein> or a driver is poorly written
[16:01] <eein> kinda think a bios update on a 4 year old computer is drawing straws
[16:01] <ActionParsnip> eein: ive had new systems get new bioses quite a lot
[16:01] <somsip>   /quit
[16:02] <ActionParsnip> eein: what BIOS do you have?
[16:02] <eein> yeah but ubuntu requiring a bios update on a 4 year old eeepc when no other os has needed it seems a bit odd.  dont know since I am using the eeepc
[16:03] <eein> is there a way i can capture the trace.  i dont see it in messages
[16:03] <eein> that way i have something useful to file a bug with
[16:04] <sanjeev90an> is there any application like network scanner in ubuntu?
[16:04] <gribouille> does the system kep a copu of all the installed packages?
[16:04] <eein> sanjeev90an, nmap
[16:04] <gribouille> s/kep/keep
[16:05] <ActionParsnip> eein: could just enter setup when it's offered
[16:05] <eein> ActionParsnip, what setup/
[16:05] <gribouille> does the system keep a copy of all the installed packages?
[16:06] <ActionParsnip> eein: when the bios splash loads
[16:06] <ActionParsnip> eein: latest bios is ver 1104
[16:06] <christopher9812> greeter-session=unity-greeter
[16:06] <christopher9812> default-user=chris
[16:06] <christopher9812> default-user-timeout=0

[16:06] <FloodBot1> christopher9812: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:06] <quiescens> gribouille: i think it usually keeps the downloads cached for a little while
[16:07] <quiescens> gribouille: i can't remember whether its space or time or what it is that eventually gets rid of them
[16:07] <sanjeev90an> @eein i have installed nmap but it does not have same features as network scanner
[16:07] <gribouille> if I upgrade a package to a newer version, is it possible to revert to the older version?
[16:07] <eein> ActionParsnip, yes i know how to get to the bios setup but its kinda hard to do when using the pc.  my question is can i collect the trace
[16:07] <MonkeyDust> sanjeev90an  there's sharkwire
[16:08] <eein> isnt it wireshark
[16:08] <enrichedd> lol
[16:08] <MonkeyDust> wireshark, idd :)
[16:08] <quiescens> gribouille: if you know the version you want you can potentially do: sudo apt-get install packagehere=version
[16:08] <eein> sanjeev90an, what features is nmap not have out of curiousity
[16:09] <gribouille> quiescens, but do the repositories keep old versions of packages?
[16:09] <MonkeyDust> sanjeev90an  also try lsof -i
[16:10] <sanjeev90an> it does not provide gui
[16:10] <MonkeyDust> sanjeev90an  then there's wireshark for you
[16:11] <KcGenesis> nobody solved my problem im'out
[16:11] <go8765> can anybody help me please with claw-mail and mail.ru. I have now this massage: sock_connect_address_list_async: connection to  pop.mail.ru:995 failed. but thunderbird with same options-work good
[16:11] <sanjeev90an> ok i will try wireshark then
[16:11] <quiescens> gribouille: possibly depends on which mirror you use but i think they usually do
[16:11] <sanjeev90an> thank you guys
[16:12] <poppo> !lista
[16:12] <ActionParsnip> go8765: does the config have a section for server and a seperate box for port number?

[16:15] <deggie> hi

[16:16] <deggie> how do I access my ubuntu hd from my Ubuntu live cd?
[16:16] <deggie> I tried to mount it with vfat
[16:17] <ActionParsnip> deggie: nautilus should be able to mount it using gvfs automagically
[16:17] <quiescens> yay, automagical
[16:18] <Duker> How should I format a second drive for ubuntu if I want to be able to execute .sh files off of it?
[16:18] <deggie> ActionParsnip. With fdisk I can see the disk
[16:19] <ActionParsnip> deggie: thats cool, does the partition show up in the left pane in nautilus?
[16:20] <pauser> hi ! I want to  create a DHCP-server but I do have only a laptop . Can I do something with VirtualBOX ??
[16:20] <go8765> ActionParsnip, any ideas about claw-mail?
[16:20] <Duker> Rather, I installed a second drive on my system, made it ext4 as well, and cant seem to change or add anything to or from the drive
[16:21] <yabai> go8765: can you "see" the drive?
[16:21] <Duker> Yea
[16:21] <Duker> Has a lost + found in it
[16:22] <Guest41390> hola
[16:22] <Seveas> Duker, a freshly formatted filesystem is only writable by root. You may want to exercise your chown powers
[16:22] <go8765> yabai, my problem is with claw-mail and mail.ru :)
[16:22] <yabai> go8765: sorry...can't help...i use mutt
[16:22] <Duker> Seveas, Thank you, I'll look up chown
[16:23] <Seveas> Duker, sudo chown your_username /path/to/mountpoint
[16:23] <Seveas> that'll make you owner so you can write
[16:23] <induz> how can I see hindi fonts on Chrome browser under ubuntu 10...system has hindi Unicode fonts installed

[16:29] <sanjeev90an> how to make dolphin as default file manager in gnome?
[16:30] <Seveas> next time it's your password, and ActionParsnip is known for stealing those
[16:30] <linuxearth> oh yes
[16:30] <linuxearth> i was trying it
[16:30] <linuxearth> but command was wrong
[16:30] <ActionParsnip> linuxearth: i'd ask in #freenode for registering help if you need it
[16:31] <allu2> sanjeev90an: i'd guess by changing something in gconf
[16:33]  * allu2 searches..
[16:38] <ActionParsnip> who me!
[16:38] <leshkush> hi guys
[16:39] <ActionParsnip> sanjeev90an: right click a folder in nautilus and select 'open with other app'
[16:39] <ActionParsnip> sanjeev90an: select dolphin then tick the box to remember th association, it should now be the default
[16:40] <linuxearth> how do i ensure that i am secured?
[16:40]  * allu2 leaves default filemanager problem to ActionParsnip 
[16:40]  * linuxearth need some help
[16:40] <ActionParsnip> linuxearth: secured in what way?
[16:41] <linuxearth> means what you see if you type: /whois linuxearth
[16:41] <ActionParsnip> linuxearth: is using a secure connection
[16:41] <ActionParsnip> linuxearth: looks good#
[16:42] <auronandace> linuxearth: a dead certain way to ensure you are secure is to disconnect from the internet

[16:42] <linuxearth> can you type the whole of the output at pastebin so that i can seen, please
[16:42] <ActionParsnip> linuxearth: sure

[16:43] <ActionParsnip> linuxearth: http://pastie.org/3085421
[16:44] <ActionParsnip> sanjeev90an: should say 'remember my choice' I think
[16:44] <ActionParsnip> sanjeev90an: it's there in that dialogue, justread the whole window
[16:45] <zgr> hello i'm using 11.10, can someone tell me how is possible to disable guest login? adding "allow-guest=false" to lightdm.conf makes no sense
[16:45] <dr_willis> http://askubuntu.com/search?q=lightdm+disable+guest
[16:46] <ActionParsnip> zgr: why does it make no sense?
[16:47] <linuxearth> ok ty ActionParsnip ty
[16:47] <yabai>  /part boom!
[16:47] <sanjeev90an> ActionParsnip: no its not there
[16:47] <dr_willis> If you want to disable the guest account you can do this by editing /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf and adding "allow-guest=false" to the "SeatDefaults" section.
[16:47] <ActionParsnip> sanjeev90an: which release are you using?
[16:48] <sanjeev90an> ActionParsnip: Gnome 2.32.1
[16:48] <dr_willis> you are wanting to set the kde file manager as the default in gnome?
[16:48] <zgr> thank I've gdm-guest-session installed
[16:48] <jessica> I have Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS installed on a Compaq nc6220 Laptop with the Intel Mobile 915GM video chip and the screen flickers off and on.  It usuall starts doing it after about 15 minutes of uptime and frequency is irregular but close to 2 or 3 seconds and the black screen durations are only 1 second each.  I'm thinking this has something to do with gnome2
[16:48] <ActionParsnip> sanjeev90an: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[16:49] <sanjeev90an> ActionParsnip: natty
[16:50] <ActionParsnip> sanjeev90an: may help http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-change-back-nautilus-as-your-default-file-manager.html
[16:51] <jessica> I'm using console mode using irssi now and no flickering, but gnome is running on tty7 and still flickering. ... I suppose I could install xubuntu-desktop and see what xfce does.  I'm wondering if this is a known problem.... maybe a bug that has been reported somewhere.  I've done a couple google searches and found two possible workaround / fixes, but am not sure about them.  Just wondering if anyone here would have any advise for me.
[16:52] <sanjeev90an1> ActionParsnip: natty
[16:53] <jessica> I've not found anything yet that indicates a bug.  It may be something to do with the latest couple of kernels... Yea, that is an idea, I may revert to an older kernel and see....
[16:53] <ActionParsnip> jessica: try oneiric livecd, the newer driver may help
[16:54] <jessica> ActionParsnip: That's a good idea...
[16:55] <sanjeev90an1> whois /arjun
[16:55] <ActionParsnip> jessica: or could try: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates?field.series_filter=lucid
[16:56] <jessica> One problem I see is that it is intermitten.  Last night, I could not make it do it.  I let it run all night and was still doing fine this morning. Since then, I've seen the flickering screen consistantly during 3 sessions, (including this one).
[16:56] <ActionParsnip> jessica: may help, newer drivers into Lucid and that
[16:56] <ActionParsnip> jessica: possibly bad ram or connection between screen and system
[17:00] <fandejuni> Can somebody help me ?
[17:00] <jessica> ActionParsnip: I do not think it could be bad ram and especially not connection between screen and system because I am in consloe mode now, and there is no flickering. (I'm on tty6 and flickering is still occuring, I can see it happening when I switch to tth7).
[17:00] <fandejuni> I have a really strange bug
[17:00] <asif> Can somebody help me ?
[17:01] <ActionParsnip> jessica: I guess
[17:01] <induz> hindi fonts are not shaped properly in google chrome

[17:03] <spaceneedle> Just to let you know: Glchess has been reporting over 100% cpu usage on my laptop. I had a similiar problem using pychess on Fedora 15.
[17:03] <danny> induz - chrome doesn't even regonise é in URL. say if my website is called cafénoir.com it will display it as caf%2534noir.com :(
[17:04] <induz> so chrome is not good for me dan
[17:04] <Pici> danny: Thats a limitation of DNS, not of chrome itself.
[17:04] <asif> help me please...........
[17:04] <xangua> induz: tried chromium¿
[17:04] <Pici> danny: Sorry, not of DNS exactly, of non international TLDs.
[17:04] <danny> Pici - yet firefox has learned to mask it as é
[17:04] <induz> xangua, what is chrmium??
[17:05] <Metroshica> I had an issue running external commands on Nagios3 in Ubuntu 10.04. I googled the error, found an answer that fixed it. It had my type in g-statoverride --update --add nagios www-data 2710 /var/lib/nagios3/rw sudo dpkg-statoverride --update --add nagios nagios 751 /var/lib/nagios3 and restart nagios. That worked, but I don't know why, could anyone explain what these commands did?

[17:05] <jessica> ActionParsnip: Well, I'm not wanting to discount or rule out a hardware issue, that was actually my first thought, but not so sure any more.  I first thought that it might be due to overheating, but the fan is going on and off at what appear to be normal intervals and it doesn't feel exesively hot so... I don't think it's a heat issue.
[17:05] <danny> Pici i realise that the actual é is hardcoded as a set of chars, but still
[17:05] <Duker> Any reason why once working .sh files wouldn't work after an upgrade from 10.04-11.10? My terminal closes abruptly after launching the file
[17:05] <induz> xangua, thats what I am using
[17:05] <asif> how can i use eth0 and pppo same time on ubuntu 10.10?
[17:06] <Metroshica> Oops, I pasted that wrong, the commands were sudo dpkg-statoverride --update --add nagios www-data 2710 /var/lib/nagios3/rw
[17:06] <Metroshica> sudo dpkg-statoverride --update --add nagios nagios 751 /var/lib/nagios3. Any ideas on what these did?
[17:06] <jessica> And when it is RAM issues, my experiences uaually are with total lockups.
[17:06] <emilsedgh> hry guys. when i copy files to my flash disc, it starts fast but soon gets to a point where its almost stalled. this happens with many many discs. any ideas whats wrong?
[17:06] <emilsedgh> s/hry/hey/
[17:07] <dr_willis> emilsedgh:  what ubuntu release? ive seen similer issues with some older releases
[17:07] <emilsedgh> dr_willis: actually im on Debian sid.
[17:08] <Pici> Metroshica: It changed the owner of that file in a friendly way so that if nagios gets updated and this file gets touched by the package again, it won't reset to the original permissions.
[17:08] <dr_willis> emilsedgh:  i thinkit was some sort of kernel bug/issue. i never did see an exact fix. other then trying a newer kenel dont know what else to tell you
[17:08] <emilsedgh> ok dr_willis. thanks a lot.
[17:09] <hatchetjack> how can I turn off unity auto hide?
[17:09] <dr_willis> hatchetjack:  ccsm tool. has settings in its unity plugin for unity3d.
[17:09] <Metroshica> Pici, ah ok, thanks, also, what were those numbers I put in as well? the 2710 and 751
[17:09] <ActionParsnip> hatchetjack: you set unity settings in ccsm, you may need to install compizconfig-settings-manager
[17:10] <jessica> There are no proprietary video drivers loaded, far as I can tell. See: pastebin.com/rsZRDsCS
[17:11] <Pici> Metroshica: Those are the octal values used to specify specific permissions to a file.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_system_permissions#Octal_notation explains it in depth.
[17:11] <kingofswords> hi im having problems adding shipping details on a web shop and have had problems b4 with shop with same basket interface...is this a ubuntu problem

[17:12] <ActionParsnip> kingofswords: what browsers have you tried?
[17:12] <jessica> I do, however have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.  See: pastebin.com/Seg4Td88
[17:12] <kingofswords> dr_willis, tryed ff and chromium
[17:12] <Metroshica> Pici, ah ok, so those are the same as the values that I use when I do chmod?
[17:12] <Pici> Metroshica: yes.
[17:12] <dr_willis> kingofswords:  try opera perhaps.
[17:12] <kingofswords> ActionParsnip, ff chromium
[17:12] <mrbkap> Is it possible to install a minimal Ubuntu with a standard install CD?
[17:13] <dr_willis> mrbkap:  i dont think so.
[17:13] <kingofswords> cant find opera in synaptic
[17:13] <Pici> mrbkap: no.
[17:13] <dr_willis> !opera
[17:13] <mrbkap> dr_willis: Pici: Ok, thanks.
[17:13] <ActionParsnip> mrbkap: not that I know, you can download the minimal ISO, its 12Mb. Remember to MD5 test it
[17:13] <jessica> I don't know what that xorg.conf file could be doing but could delete it and see what happens....
[17:14] <kingofswords> can i not just install opera via synaptic?

[17:14] <bullgard4> [Ubuntu 11.10 GNOME Shell 3.2.1] I am recording an internet radio stream. Why can I not hear it at the same time? Pressing Windows-key > gnome-control-center > Audio > Applications > ALSA plugin [firefox] is not muted. (Last night it worked.)
[17:14] <mrbkap> ActionParsnip: Yeah.
[17:14] <dr_willis> kingofswords:  i thinkits in the partners repo.. check the url above?
[17:14] <mrbkap> That being said, if I'm going to install a minimal system on a Macbook Pro, are there any packages I need to make sure to install?
[17:14] <kingofswords> i did
[17:15] <pksadiq> dr_willis: seems that ubottu is encouraging usage of proprietary softwares like opera :(
[17:15] <dr_willis> i tend to just go get the deb off the web site.
[17:15] <kingofswords> it aint gonna sort it
[17:17] <Duker> Is running my minecraft server as my user with admin/root access just a bad idea?  Seem to be having a hard time figuring out how to give a regular user the ability to execute the server_start.sh file
[17:17] <ActionParsnip> mrbkap: kernel and bootloader, which will install by default
[17:17] <overclucker> Duker: that's a really bad idea
[17:17] <ki7rw> anyone know why suddenly i'm getting a bunch of bad signature messages when trying to update? http://pastebin.com/90Utv9qJ
[17:17] <almoxarife> Duker: worse than bad, really gosh golly awful
[17:17] <xangua> !gpgerr | ki7rw
[17:18] <Duker> overclucker: Glad Im changing it then
[17:18] <mrbkap> ActionParsnip: That's what I was hoping to hear :)
[17:18] <ActionParsnip> Duker: make everyone a normal user then add the ones you want to give sudo access to the 'admin' group. You could chown the script to a group so that only users in a different group can run the command if you wish
[17:18] <harm_> hi guys :)
[17:18] <cisc0kid> hello everybody!
[17:18] <Duker> ActionParsnip: Thanks1
[17:18] <jessica> I think I'll try an older kernel.
[17:19] <ActionParsnip> Duker: obviously those in teh admin group will be able to run it with sudo
[17:19] <harm_> Does anyone know if you can develope for iOS in ubuntu ?
[17:19] <hrolf> Hi #ubuntu, I have openjdk installed and the iced tea plugin too. When I try open .jnlp files (topcoder) it starts downloading then gets stuck and doesn't progress? What is the problem?
[17:20] <Duker> But by user running the server in the admin group I'll be more secure than having my main admin/root launch the server?
[17:20] <ActionParsnip> harm_: may help http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1056426/iphone-app-development-on-ubuntu
[17:20] <cisc0kid> harm: maybe you can dev ios within Vbox or the like?
[17:20] <ActionParsnip> Duker: yes as the command will be running as user rather than root, i'd check in a minecraft channel to see if this is appropriate
[17:21] <ki7rw> still getting bad signature messages after importing key updates
[17:21] <opalepatrick> ok, lost connection - Is LVM something I can install 'after' having installed 11.10?
[17:22] <dr_willis> opalepatrick:  i dont think so..  its how you partion your disks.
[17:22] <dr_willis> !lvm
[17:22] <harm_> @actionparsnip thanks
[17:22] <harm_> hwo do i react ?
[17:23] <opalepatrick> that is useful dr_willis
[17:23] <ki7rw> something wrong with the archives i'm using?
[17:24] <Solshine> Hi. Is it at all possible to install a different operating system to Ubuntu via a mounted .iso?
[17:25] <ActionParsnip> Solshine: in a VM yes, you will need to boot to the ISO as you expect to install it properly afaik
[17:26] <Solshine> That's kind of beyond the scope of my skills... Can I make a USB stick boot instead? With something like unetbootin for example?
[17:26] <projekt26> firefox does not update to the latest version 9 on my ubuntu. do I have to change something?
[17:26] <Solshine> The OS in question is WinXP.
[17:26] <rhin0> is it possible easily to mount an ubuntu iso in virtualbox
[17:26] <rhin0> without cutting a cd
[17:28] <kingofswords> is there an issue with some shopping baskets on web and ubuntu?
[17:28] <tokam> http://pastebin.com/eHuca79j
[17:28] <Solshine> Ah, found an answer on google. Thanks for the help. It is apparantly possible to use unetbootin to make a winxp stick. You need a digital  copy of your system (iso) and gparted (to make sure your stick is NTFS).
[17:28] <tokam> gnome-panel crashes all the time. I use the gnome2 fallback hda intel graphics and 64bit ubuntu
[17:29] <tokam> when I start e.g. evolution or pidgin the panel crashes I pasted the error messages in the pastebin
[17:29] <tokam> Gleitkommaausnahme = Floatingpoint exception
[17:29] <overclucker> rhin0: yes, it's very easy to mount isos in virtualbox
[17:30] <tokam> how to start with gnome-session-fallback?
[17:30]  * rhin0 hasn't seen windows for about 5 years :-D
[17:30] <compdoc> you dont get out much
[17:31] <tokam> I try this bugfix now http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1860340.html

[17:33] <ActionParsnip> hrolf: does what you use require sun java?
[17:33] <hrolf> After a while I get this error http://pastebin.com/vMBtPULd
[17:33] <RyChannelNS> hrolf, add the partner repsoitories and install sun-java6-jre

[17:36] <kingofswords> its 2 sites that use exactly the same basket program
[17:37] <kingofswords> www.safercigs.com
[17:37] <ActionParsnip> oneliner: did you try the xorg edgers archive ppa (less fresh), to get the later driver
[17:37] <ActionParsnip> oneliner: you may also need to run:  sudo nvidia-xconfig
[17:37] <kingofswords> ive never had problem filling forms in b4
[17:37] <oneliner> i ll try config first
[17:37] <dr_willis> http://www.safercigs.com/ dosent even go to a actual site here... (on windows)
[17:38] <bullgard4> [Ubuntu 11.10 GNOME Shell 3.2.1] I am recording an internet radio stream using Banshee Streamrecorder extension . Why can I not hear the sound at at the same time? Pressing Windows-key > gnome-control-center > Audio > Applications > ALSA plugin [firefox] is not muted. (Last night it worked.)
[17:39] <hrolf> ActionParsnip: How do I know if it requires sun java?
[17:39] <oneliner> ActionParsnip:  it complained about incomplete data in the xorg file but backed it up and wrote a new one
[17:39] <hrolf> ActionParsnip: I'm running the TopCoder.com applet
[17:39] <kingofswords> oops sorry safercigs.co.uk
[17:39] <oneliner> reboot? try to start lightdm?
[17:40] <ActionParsnip> hrolf: it may state on the developer site, or you can ask them
[17:40] <oneliner> so am rebooting
[17:40] <ActionParsnip> oneliner: ideal, ok reboot
[17:41] <pippo> ciao
[17:41] <tacomaster> so is ubuntu 12.04 still in alpha?
[17:41] <oneliner> what can i replace quiet splash with to get a verbose of what s going on during boot?
[17:42] <pangolin> !12.04
[17:42] <ActionParsnip> tacomaster: yes til 20(12) in the (4)th month, AApril
[17:42] <ActionParsnip> tacomaster: hence the version numbering
[17:43] <oneliner> ActionParsnip: system hung
[17:43] <oneliner> no access to ttyl
[17:44] <oneliner> what do i replace "quiet splah" with in order to get verbose at boot?
[17:44] <ActionParsnip> oneliner: just remove them :)
[17:45] <oneliner> ah
[17:45] <oneliner> three days trying to figure out why a brand new machines that can run windows 7 flawlessly cant boot ubuntu
[17:46] <ActionParsnip> oneliner: different OS, different support
[17:46] <oneliner> will it all end with me saying ubuntu just dosent cut it? or nvidia are jerks?
[17:46] <ActionParsnip> oneliner: all my hardware works out of the box in any linux I have tried, It took me 2 hours to get sound working and crank the pagefile
[17:46] <ActionParsnip> oneliner: and that was a fresh install Win7, Win7 doesn't cut it
[17:47] <oneliner> then we should probably swap gear ;)
[17:47] <oneliner> did nvidia con me with this card?
[17:47] <ActionParsnip> oneliner: my stuff is from 2003/4 ish
[17:47] <wh1t3> When I want to add something to a playlist somewhere (or basically whenever a file selection dialog pops up) I get the following error: Could not start process Unable to create io-slave:

[17:47] <ActionParsnip> oneliner: yes, nvidia 6150LE 512Mb
[17:48] <oneliner> ActionParsnip: oh, wait, so you saying i should like, ditch the novelty hardware?
[17:48] <wh1t3> anyone have any idea what could cause that and how to fix it?
[17:48] <djazz> i only hear sound when i unplug/plug in power cable, on laptop
[17:48] <oneliner> prolly get a green monochrome 5" while am at it
[17:48] <djazz> :(
[17:48] <djazz> for about half a sec
[17:48] <ActionParsnip> oneliner: no, just saying that some hardware working ok in Windows doesn't mean much
[17:49] <oneliner> you re right, means as much not much as not working on ubuntu at all
[17:49] <Guest19664> hello
[17:49] <Guest19664> I have a question
[17:50] <ActionParsnip> oneliner: did you try the xorg edgers update ppa>?
[17:50] <ActionParsnip> Guest19664: ask away
[17:50] <djazz> any hints to get sound working?
[17:51] <Balthazar> djazz: Do you have Gnome ALSA mixer installed?
[17:51] <zoLevDotCom> Hi!
[17:51] <djazz> yes

[17:51] <Guest19664> I have installed ubuntu, and I want to change the login screen. I installed now LDXM, but when I restart the computer the old gnome login screen appears. so how can I set the LDXM as default login screen?
[17:51] <oneliner> ActionParsnip: should i google that?
[17:51] <oneliner> silly question

[17:55] <ActionParsnip> djazz: keep that link handy
[17:55] <hrolf> ActionParsnip: I did this i.e. ran it through the command line and it opened up (with OpenJDK) so I don't think it is because it requires Sun Java. Can you seem to be able to spot any issues now?
[17:55] <ActionParsnip> DjMadness: if adding the line doesnt work after reboot read the bug
[17:55] <hrolf> ActionParsnip: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/debian-26/java-doesnt-work-in-my-browser-910860/

[17:56] <hrolf> ActionParsnip: Yes.
[17:57] <ActionParsnip> hrolf: sweet
[17:57] <hrolf> ActionParsnip: But when I right click -> open with -> Iced tea web start 6 it, tries to download the .jar file and then gets stuck at 6% and after a while reports the error I pasted earlier.
[17:57] <ActionParsnip> hrolf: you could make a bash script, or alias to run that command easier
[17:58] <ActionParsnip> hrolf: or make a copy of the launcher for Iced tea in /usr/share/applications     and change the Exec= line to run that
[17:58] <djazz> ActionParsnip: no diff
[17:58] <djazz> same bug

[18:02] <TehAndrewRyan> I need help regarding ramdisk within Ubuntu 11.10. I've made a ramdisk (3,9 GB standard size, don't remember how I set it up though as I got help from another guy) to run my Minecraft server on, but now I'd like to shrink it to 2 GB temporarily, since I'd like to assign more ram to Java instead. I however have no clue on how to do this. The ramdisk is mounted on /dev/shm/minecraft
[18:02] <djazz> ActionParsnip: yeah, before i rebooted...
[18:02] <djazz> ;)
[18:02] <mk13> ActionParsnip: he rebooted... he prolly doesn't have it still...
[18:03] <MahaVishnu> TehAndrewRyan{} does this ramdisk use an entry in /etc/fstab ?
[18:03] <TehAndrewRyan> MahaVishnu: How do I check that? cat /etc/fstab ?
[18:03] <MahaVishnu> TehAndrewRyan{} thats a good way.
[18:03] <Rod_> sup folks
[18:04] <djazz> headphones, same bug
[18:04] <oneliner> ActionParsnip: the the repository is downloading, the have a shallow pipe so its gonna take a while, say do you have any insight onto why there are so many blogged and reported issues about recent nvidia and 11.04 onwards?
[18:04] <oneliner> this is just uncanny
[18:04] <The_Pugilist> I was trying to dd from sda to sdd, but wound up typing sdc instead... realized it too late, and now my sdc is totally messed up... it got about 8 gigs in... is there any way to recover?
[18:04] <djazz> im using 11.10
[18:04] <ActionParsnip> djazz: you could have bookmarked it....or it will be in your hostory
[18:04] <djazz> im just lazy, its probably in log
[18:05] <Rod_> I just decided to try Ubuntu as a file server for my enterprise. Is it possible to act as a file server AND as a windows-updates-distributor (aka WSUS)???
[18:05] <lesshaste> I am trying to compile a cython program that uses gsl libraries.. I get undefined reference to `gsl_rng_mt19937'
[18:05] <djazz> ActionParsnip: any solution there?
[18:05] <lesshaste> any idea how to fix that?
[18:05] <ActionParsnip> djazz: not sure, read through
[18:05] <mk13> djazz: what is the model of computer?
[18:05] <ActionParsnip> oneliner: never had a single issue, its why I only buy nvidia
[18:06] <djazz> mk13: Acer Aspire TimelineX 3830TG
[18:06] <oneliner> i used to be on that boat
[18:06] <oneliner> then this aledged top notch LEMON landed on my lap
[18:06] <Resistance> oneliner:  the issues only occur with Optimus cards, i'm not sure if that's still the case, but that might be why you see so many blog posts about it
[18:07] <pksadiq> lesshaste: try compiling after installing the package like libgsl0-dev or something like that
[18:07] <lesshaste> pksadiq: it is installed
[18:07] <oneliner> Resistance: am living kicking proof that it still is
[18:07] <Atlantic777> lesshaste: -lgsl ?
[18:07] <ActionParsnip> oneliner: does it have dual GPUs, as in intel AND nvidia. Or is it only nvidia?
[18:07] <mk13> djazz: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/783582 that is the link he pasted earlier
[18:07] <lesshaste> Atlantic777: that made things worse :)

[18:12] <oneliner> unless you can tell me there s some serious nvidia backing inthe 12.04i doubt i ll help
[18:12] <oneliner> but as an experiment i wont cross it off just yet

[18:13] <smile4ever> Hi folks. Is there a way to set gnash as default for a website and adobe flash for the others? :p
[18:13] <oneliner> i ve been digging; most of the broken functionality boils down to careless symlinks broken and changes to semantics which i am sure no one bothered letting nvidia know about
[18:14] <oneliner> almost an orchestrated ati amd coup
[18:14] <oneliner> 11.10 was too rushed and failed Q.A; period

[18:19] <Stormx2> Hey. Using ubuntu 11.10 64-bit with an NVIDIA 8800 GTX. What graphics driver should I use? Here are my options: http://imgur.com/Qrl3a
[18:20] <Stormx2> I was told that at least 180+ was recommended for my card
[18:20] <oneliner> looks like the PR team killed the guards and took over the geek lounge over at cacomical
[18:20] <quiescens> Jahcros: isn't there just a "don't upgrade" button?
[18:20] <oneliner> i ve been following and updating and upgrading ubuntu for a while, this is prolly the worst version to ever hit me
[18:20] <Jahcros> quiescens: Yes but it comes back after a few reboots or after I've updated it seems like
[18:21] <rizzeh> lol @ cacomical
[18:21] <TehAndrewRyan> How do I make an entry for my ramdisk in /etc/fstab without messing up my current ramdisk setup?
[18:21] <Stormx2> oneliner, tell me about it. Every version of ubuntu I need to do more at the beginning to have a sensible UX

[18:22] <djazz> ActionParsnip, mk13: sound works!
[18:22] <djazz> xD
[18:22] <oneliner> now it takes four hours of good pipes to update mid releases and cant get it to boot under 40 sec no matter the hardware
[18:22] <mk13> djazz: congrrats!
[18:22] <djazz> i removed the EAPD flag from some "pins"
[18:22] <djazz> :s
[18:23] <oneliner> Pici am waiting while my support action takes place
[18:23] <mk13> djazz: is this similar to what you had to do? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Acer_Timeline_3830#Sound_card_issue
[18:23] <oneliner> i ll shutup now

[18:23] <Stormx2> th^2, perhaps lm-sensors?
[18:24] <djazz> mk13: yeah i used hda_analzer
[18:24] <djazz> but i had to UNCHECK it
[18:24] <djazz> i have checked it before
[18:25] <MahaVishnu> th^2{} sensors | grep "Core 0:" | cut -d "+" -f2 | cut -c1-4

[18:29] <Duker> Thanks
[18:29] <Duker> Where can I edit group permissions?
[18:29] <e414546> hi need some sandbox program and i also keep getting "ratelimit.c: 3 events suppressed", which makes my pc freeze. any ideas?
[18:30] <e414546> ratelimit.c: 3 events suppressed completely chops the music when its on.. but it still does freeze my pc when there is no music on!
[18:30] <ActionParsnip> Duker: there should be a user manager or ni cli you can use usermod or useradd
[18:30] <spankstar> need some help... im trying to install ubuntu on my netbook but it keeps stalling after i select keyboard layout. :(
[18:31] <andyn> sounds familiar
[18:31] <Duker> ActionParsnip: Thanks
[18:31] <spankstar> it has mint on it right now and mint runs like crap
[18:31] <spankstar> ive had ubuntu on it before too.
[18:31] <oneliner> spankstar: tried nomodeset from the special functions? (f6 in the cd boot menu)
[18:32] <spankstar> ill give it a try
[18:32] <spankstar> ty
[18:32] <Duker> ActionParsnip: Only has the standard and admin groups, is there a way I could change standard permissions to everything except sudo?

[18:37] <Arnolds> onliner: So I just have to restart now?
[18:37] <spankstar> oneliner i pressed tab at the bootmenu
[18:37] <spankstar> should i just type in nomodeset ?

[18:37] <Arnolds> oneLiner: So I just have to restart now?
[18:37] <oneliner> spankstar: am no usb pro but yeah thats the general gist
[18:37] <mk13> Pickleface: considering the ubuntu .iso is from a CD, and DVD should be large enough
[18:37] <oneliner> Arnolds: pretty much
[18:38] <mk13> Pickleface: and = any*
[18:38] <Arnolds> oneliner: Thanks! :)
[18:38] <Pickleface> xangua erm, how :S
[18:38] <oneliner> should stick around till it works,.. something i guess he s about to find out :)
[18:38] <mk13> Pickleface: are you currently in windows?
[18:39] <Pickleface> mk13 yeah
[18:39] <Pickleface> win 7
[18:39] <mk13> Pickleface: Win7?
[18:39] <oneliner> spankstar: there are other boot time command line options for boots that lock up, some specially handy for laptops,
[18:40] <mk13> Pickleface: ok, in that case: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Burn-a-CD-or-DVD-from-an-ISO-file
[18:40] <Duker> Is there a way I could change standard user group permissions to everything except sudo?
[18:40] <mk13> Pickleface: you may have to right click on the file and choose "Burn iso to disc" or similar
[18:42] <oneliner> Duker: am sorry but i think thats how it is right now?
[18:42] <smile4ever> Is Ubuntu supporting UEFI at the moment? :)
[18:42] <tomodachi> smile4ever:  what is UEFI compared to EFI?
[18:42] <tomodachi> since it supports EFI
[18:43] <smile4ever> tomodachi: UEFI is the real standard
[18:43] <hrolf> How do I quit Thunderbird in Ubuntu 11.10 (I want it removed from the tray) ?
[18:43] <smile4ever> EFI is the main part of the standard
[18:43] <ActionParsnip> hrolf: right click it maybe...
[18:43] <Duker> How can I chown file inside a directory, I seem to own the folder but nothing in it
[18:44] <xangua> hrolf: control+q
[18:44] <xangua> or from que menu, quit hrolf
[18:44] <tomodachi> smile4ever: well I boot my Mac in linux and i use EFI
[18:44] <mk13> hrolf: just exiting should close it... the envelope icon is there anyways I believe
[18:44] <smile4ever> Apple uses EFI :)
[18:44] <smile4ever> But they should be using UEFI
[18:44] <smile4ever> :p
[18:45] <ActionParsnip> Duker: chown -R      will recursively chown
[18:45] <ActionParsnip> tomodachi: uefi supercedes efi accoring to wikipedia...
[18:45] <ActionParsnip> smile4ever: aslong as it boots, who cares
[18:46] <mk13> !ubottu
[18:46] <oneliner> ActionParsnip: ppa is done, should i rerun nvidia xconfig or it finger crossing time?
[18:46] <spankstar> oneliner still hanging on keyboard select
[18:46] <ActionParsnip> oneliner: i'd try the reboot, should be ok
[18:46] <oneliner> spankstar: there are other boot time command line options for boots that lock up, some specially handy for laptops,
[18:46] <spankstar> where do i find these
[18:47] <smile4ever> ActionParsnip: I do ;) There is a difference :p
[18:47] <Duker> ActionParsnip: Thanks
[18:47] <oneliner> like acpi_osi="linux"
[18:47] <oneliner> but as i said, usb boot is a whole other ball game, i havent played with it much
[18:48] <hrolf> mk13: When I press F10 I don't Thunderbird to show its menu, so I believe it is still there
[18:48] <oneliner> also dont use a sans stick (its u3 function gets in the way)
[18:48] <ActionParsnip> smile4ever: in what way?
[18:48] <smile4ever> oneliner: usb boot is always working here :)
[18:48] <smile4ever> ActionParsnip: If you buy a UEFI pc and Ubuntu only supports EFI you have a chance ;) but it maybe it doesn't work ;)
[18:49] <ActionParsnip> smile4ever: most of the stuff wkipedia says it does, grub has been doing for ages
[18:49] <smile4ever> I will try it! :)
[18:49] <ActionParsnip> smile4ever: its in a default ubuntu
[18:49] <smile4ever> hmm.. that's a problem ;)
[18:49] <ActionParsnip> smile4ever: normal PC bios can boot grub then do all that stuff already
[18:49] <smile4ever> I use minimal Ubuntu install with Lubuntu-touch :p
[18:50] <slayer> can someone tell me where in Ubuntu vi is set to start at the beggining of a line when entering insert mode?
[18:51] <oneliner> anyway the xorg edgers work can be upstreamed into main dev?
[18:52] <spankstar> oneliner where do i find these commands
[18:52] <xangua> oneliner: there is one reason is called Edgers
[18:52] <ActionParsnip> oneliner: did the ppa help?
[18:52] <oneliner> apparently it worked, still have to setup dual heads and all that
[18:52] <oneliner> ActionParsnip: indeed
[18:52] <overclucker> slayer: i + Home isn't enough?
[18:52] <ActionParsnip> oneliner: thought so, you have a super new nvidia chip so you need the newer driver
[18:53] <slayer> overclucker:  when i go into inseert mode, it jumps to the start of the line, i want it at the point I hit enter
[18:53] <slayer> er.. i  (insert mode)
[18:53] <oneliner> xangua; am not using military grade hardware; this shouldnt be a hidden resource
[18:55] <ActionParsnip> oneliner: the driver version in the official repos isn't new enough for your kit
[18:56] <overclucker> slayer: hmm, 'i' should insert at cursor by default
[18:56] <ActionParsnip> oneliner: always better to stay mid range for zero issues :)
[18:56] <slayer> over, it's not.. hence my issue :)
[18:57] <pksadiq> slayer: what about append, a?
[18:57] <slayer> jumps to end of line with "a"
[18:58] <oneliner> ActionParsnip: that is ok for "working on the machine", but am trying to "work with the machine" doing fancy 3d and things that require this heavy gear
[18:58] <oneliner> am just saying new hardware shouldnt be taboo
[18:58] <ActionParsnip> oneliner: indeed
[19:00] <overclucker> slayer: does ':map i i' resolve this issue?
[19:01] <overclucker> ah, he left
[19:05] <spankstar> oneliner you said something about other commands?
[19:05] <Pickleface> hello
[19:06] <kfizz> I'm going to be writing some software to sync data from a frequently-updated network share into a database. My thoughts on this are: cron job to run a python script to check for new files and import those files into the MySQL DB. Anyone have any input/suggestions?
[19:06] <Pickleface> my ubuntu looks really weird when I try it out
[19:06] <Pickleface> really huge, I think cause of my graphics card
[19:06] <Pickleface> how do i fix?
[19:06] <ActionParsnip> Pickleface: what GPU do you use?
[19:06] <Pickleface> GPU?
[19:07] <ActionParsnip> Pickleface: graphics chip?
[19:07] <oneliner> spankstar: give me a sec i ll try to google those out for you

[19:09] <ActionParsnip> Guest13013: what is the output of:  lsusb     one line will identify the device
[19:09] <ActionParsnip> Pickleface: open a terminal and run it. I suggest you get fully updated first
[19:09] <Pickleface> whats a terminal?
[19:09] <Pickleface> how do i get fully updated?
[19:10] <reisio> Guest13013: also if you change your nick (/nick someNewName) it'll be much simpler to converse with you
[19:10] <reisio> Pickleface: CTRL+ALT+t, possibly
[19:10] <Guest13013> should i paste output here?
[19:10] <reisio> Guest13013: http://dpaste.com/ would be better
[19:10] <oneliner> spankstar: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Introduction  a bit of a long read but will help you
[19:10] <ActionParsnip> Pickleface: use software centre, its available if you click the icon in the top left
[19:10] <Stormx2> Hey. Using ubuntu 11.10 64-bit with an NVIDIA 8800 GTX. What graphics driver should I use? Here are my options: http://imgur.com/Qrl3a
[19:10] <reisio> Guest13013: or use the pastebinit program and give us the link it outputs
[19:10] <Stormx2> I was told that at least 180+ was recommended for my card
[19:10] <Pickleface> ActionParsnip im on win 7 right now
[19:11] <reisio> Stormx2: I'd go with current
[19:11] <reisio> Stormx2: if that doesn't work you can change it to something else
[19:11] <ActionParsnip> Stormx2: just run:  sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
[19:11] <reisio> Stormx2: (by selecting the 'failsafe' option at the login screen)
[19:11] <Stormx2> reisio, Why not current-updates?
[19:12] <Pickleface> ActionParsnip okay so I go back to my trial thing, then look for a terminal then type in sudo apt-get install nvidia-current ?
[19:12] <reisio> Stormx2: does it say 'Recommended' beside that one?
[19:12] <ActionParsnip> Pickleface: get fully updated first
[19:12] <Pickleface> ActionParsnip how do I do that ?
[19:12] <reisio> Stormx2: course if you're using 173 and there are no issues, you could just stick to that one
[19:12] <ActionParsnip> Pickleface: software centre
[19:13] <Stormx2> reisio, ActionParsnip, thanks
[19:13] <Pickleface> ActionParsnip ok how dO i get to software center ?
[19:13] <Stormx2> Also, how do I access the startup applications/services dialogue?
[19:13] <Pickleface> also should I dl the new ubuntu or the 10.04 1 ?
[19:14] <reisio> Stormx2: in 11.10... probably hit the Ubuntu icon at top left and type 'start' and see what it lists
[19:14] <ActionParsnip> Pickleface: click the icon in the top left and search there
[19:14] <reisio> Stormx2: or session
[19:14] <Stormx2> reisio, I'm using the gnome classic desktop
[19:15] <reisio> Stormx2: ah
[19:15] <reisio> Stormx2: then it'd be in a menu under preferences somewhere
[19:15] <Stormx2> meh it's probably google-able
[19:15] <reisio> I doubt it's that hard to find
[19:16] <Edward2> Hello. Just installed Ubuntu 11.10 and I'm having problems in getting sound.
[19:16] <fabiofelgueiras> hi again
[19:16] <fabiofelgueiras> its me the wireless dude
[19:16] <fabiofelgueiras> i go paste in pastebin
[19:16] <reisio> Edward2: what problems?
[19:16] <reisio> fabiofelgueiras: ok
[19:17] <Edward2> No sound at all.
[19:17] <reisio> Edward2: are there speakers hooked up?
[19:17] <Edward2> I got headphones.
[19:17] <reisio> Edward2: laptop?
[19:17] <fabiofelgueiras> ok here the output of the lsusb
[19:17] <Edward2> reisio: Tower, 3 outlets (I think).
[19:17] <fabiofelgueiras> http://pastebin.com/QcPdFyrn
[19:18] <fabiofelgueiras> i whant to unistall the realtek and use the ralink
[19:18] <reisio> Edward2: okay, hit the volume icon at top right, make sure important channels aren't muted or at 0 volume
[19:18] <Duker> If I switch users do terminal processes stop? Like if I have a user running a teamspeak server and I switch users will the TS server stop?
[19:18] <reisio> Duker: nope
[19:19] <Duker> Thanks :D
[19:19] <reisio> Duker: okay I should clarify: if you ran the server properly, it will persist
[19:19] <Duker> Hmm
[19:19] <reisio> Duker: you're talking about switching users in GNOME?
[19:19] <Duker> ubuntu 11.10
[19:19] <slakcphil> how can my freenode nick be registered in ubuntu irc? same thing?
[19:19] <reisio> Duker: right, GNOME
[19:19] <slakcphil> freenode seems down..
[19:20] <reisio> Duker: it should start a whole new X session, not log out the existing, if you use fast switch
[19:20] <reisio> Duker: (that is: don't "log out", just "switch user")
[19:20] <reisio> slakcphil: this is freenode
[19:20] <fabiofelgueiras> the realtek gives me alot of disconnection problems, please someone help me install this new usb pen wireless
[19:20] <Duker> Nice, thanks Reisio
[19:20] <reisio> fabiofelgueiras: did you paste the info?
[19:20] <fabiofelgueiras> http://pastebin.com/QcPdFyrn
[19:20] <fabiofelgueiras> yep
[19:21] <slakcphil> reiso, cool, i could not connect to the "freenode" selection in xchat, only the "Ubuntu Servers" selection but reg worked of course
[19:21] <reisio> slakcphil: odd
[19:21] <slakcphil> reisio
[19:21] <slakcphil> yeah
[19:21] <reisio> slakcphil: possibly your 'freenode' item was mapped to a server that no longer is functioning
[19:21] <fabiofelgueiras> cmon mates let reisio now give me a hand :)
[19:21] <reisio> slakcphil: if you use irc.freenode.net (the round-robin) it should work more often
[19:21] <slakcphil> could be,  well it was irc.freenode.net
[19:21] <reisio> ah, that's odd, that's what I use
[19:22] <reisio> maybe your ISP hates you
[19:22] <slakcphil> yeah they do! :P
[19:22] <Edward2> reisio: Clicked the speaker, not muted, volume max. Clicked settings, Output volume 100%, Alerts 80%, Hardware empty, Input empty, Output: "Dummy Output".
[19:22] <reisio> fabiofelgueiras: can you pastebin the output of lspci -n ?
[19:22] <slakcphil> i use tor alot
[19:22] <slakcphil> and nmap ;0
[19:22] <reisio> Edward2: okay, open up a terminal (CTRL+ALT+t), run 'alsamixer', look for the same thing (low volume or muted [MM] channels)
[19:22] <reisio> slakcphil: mmm, maybe they changed their thing
[19:22] <reisio> freenode has its own tor system
[19:23] <reisio> would ask #freenode about it
[19:23] <slakcphil> see  i cannot connect to chat with tor
[19:23] <slakcphil> never have
[19:24] <overclucker> kfizz: you can use inotify in place of cron. not that there is anything wrong with using cron for his sort of thing.
[19:24] <fabiofelgueiras> http://pastebin.com/hSiMi03d here it is ty for the help
[19:24] <slakcphil> not error with tor but with freenode
[19:24] <kfizz> overclucker, haven't heard of that. Any benefits over cron?
[19:24] <fabiofelgueiras> the rtl is a usb to but this is a laptop
[19:24] <fabiofelgueiras> so is internal usb i think
[19:25] <reisio> fabiofelgueiras: oh right you said it was usb?
[19:26] <overclucker> kfizz: inotify detects file system changes, which would allow you to run code specific to those changes.
[19:26] <reisio> fabiofelgueiras: what's the make/model#?
[19:26] <fabiofelgueiras> yes the new one i buyed is usb
[19:26] <reisio> fabiofelgueiras: of the dongle
[19:26] <kfizz> overclucker, I just read the wikipedia article. I'm sure I could Google this question, but is there a way to configure it to watch just a certain (mounted) directory?
[19:29] <Edward2> reisio: Master 100; Tone off, off; Bass 50; Treble 50; 3D Control 100; PCM Center 100; PCM front 100, 100; PCM LFE 100.
[19:30] <reisio> Edward2: and none of those say 'MM' at the bottom?
[19:30] <fabiofelgueirass> reisio, sry got disconnected
[19:30] <reisio> fabiofelgueiras: what's the make/model#?
[19:30] <reisio> fabiofelgueiras: of the dongle
[19:30] <fabiofelgueirass> of the new card?
[19:30] <reisio> fabiofelgueirass: yes
[19:31] <fabiofelgueirass> is a wn727n
[19:31] <reisio> Edward2: should say 00 and below 100, or MM and below 100; MM means muted
[19:31] <fabiofelgueirass> tp link
[19:31] <reisio> fabiofelgueirass: lsmod | grep -i rt2800usb
[19:31] <overclucker> kfizz: yup, it can do that
[19:31] <fabiofelgueirass> did it
[19:32] <fabiofelgueirass> reisio, no output out of that
[19:32] <mash_> hghhhhh
[19:32] <fabiofelgueirass> reisio, does it needs to be with sudo?
[19:32] <overclucker> kfizz: here is an example if using inotify via incron: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-inotify-examples-to-replicate-directories/
[19:32] <Edward2> reisio: Oh, sorry, found more. But I'll just give the muted ones. Tone MM, Surround MM, Mic Boost MM, S/PDIF MM, Analog Capture Boost MM, Audigy MM, External Amp MM, Sigmatel 4-speaker stereo MM.
[19:33] <Edward2> Everything else is 100.
[19:33] <CoachJ> can someone please tell me how I can get new versions of software on my 10.04LTS machine
[19:33] <Edward2> Or, at least 50-100.
[19:33] <tornado> Hi
[19:33] <Angablade> Hi
[19:33] <tornado> Hi guys, i have trouble with SLiM: in particular, after i've installed it (and changed the lines in the inittab file) it doesn't allow me with the login (every login fails)
[19:33] <tornado> can anyone help me?
[19:34] <fabiofelgueirass> reisio, i did the -> lsmod | grep -i rt2800usb got no output
[19:34] <reisio> Edward2: well go through and unmute some and make sure those aren't the problem (hit TAB for more)
[19:34] <kfizz> Overclucker, thanks. I think that's going to work really well for me.
[19:34] <reisio> Edward2: then give me a yell
[19:34] <reisio> tornado: think slim is dead, no?  Why not use lightdm?
[19:35] <reisio> fabiofelgueirass: okay, then run sudo modprobe rt2800usb
[19:35] <reisio> fabiofelgueirass: then add rt2800usb to /etc/modules
[19:35] <reisio> fabiofelgueirass: then try and connect via the network icon in the panel
[19:35] <hatchetjack> where in ccsm would I go to disable auto hide for the unity launcher?
[19:36] <overclucker> kfizz: yw
[19:37] <fabiofelgueirass> reisio, the add rt2800usb to etc/modules can u explain me better please
[19:38] <tornado> reisio: do you think lightdm is better and lighter?
[19:39] <reisio> fabiofelgueirass: open a terminal (CTRL+ALT+t), then run sudo nano -w /etc/modules
[19:39] <reisio> tornado: I think it's maintained
[19:40] <fabiofelgueirass> reisio, the add rt2800usb to etc/modules can u explain me better please
[19:40] <surfdue> hello!
[19:41] <reisio> fabiofelgueirass: open a terminal (CTRL+ALT+t), then run sudo nano -w /etc/modules
[19:41] <reisio> surfdue: hi
[19:41] <surfdue> is ubuntu server 11.10 a good install version?
[19:41] <reisio> surfdue: compared to...?
[19:41] <surfdue> the options i have are 8.04 10.04 11.0x and 11.10
[19:41] <reisio> surfdue: 10.04 is supported a full two years longer than 11.10
[19:41] <surfdue> oh ok
[19:41] <fabiofelgueirass> reision ok now what im editing a file..
[19:42] <reisio> fabiofelgueirass: you're adding rt2800usb to it and saving & exiting
[19:42] <surfdue> reisio: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/Installation does this manual apply to 10.04 too
[19:42] <surfdue> reisio: i also have the option of 10.04 and 11.04 what do you think ?
[19:42] <wh1t3> When I want to add something to a playlist somewhere (or basically whenever a file selection dialog pops up) I get the following error: "Could not start process Unable to create io-slave: klauncher said: Unknown protocol 'file'.". Any idea what might cause this/how I can solve it?
[19:42] <surfdue> reisio: im sorry i mean 10.10
[19:43] <reisio> surfdue: it should apply, yes
[19:43] <fabiofelgueirass> resion, so i add rt2800usb before the lp line? and save is that it?
[19:43] <reisio> surfdue: how'd we get onto 10.10?
[19:43] <bingomanatee_> I am having problems in CUPS - ubuntu - web app for "add printer" page says "413 Request Entity TOo Large"
[19:43] <surfdue> reisio: these are the full options 8.04 LTS, 10.04 LTS lucid, 10.10 maverick, 11.04 natty, 11.10 oceiric
[19:43] <surfdue> lol at the name of the natty narwhal.. love it
[19:43] <bingomanatee_> all the help i find online says it has to do with permissions in the /cups direcretorie(s) that I have set to 777
[19:43] <reisio> surfdue: 10.04 is supported longer than any other version available ATM, that's what would make the decision for me
[19:44] <surfdue> reisio: cool. what exactly does rts stand for
[19:44] <reisio> surfdue: LTS? long term support
[19:44] <surfdue> god I miss debian based systems..
[19:44] <reisio> surfdue: the next one isn't for a few more months
[19:44] <surfdue> -.- hate red hat based systems :P
[19:44] <reisio> surfdue: so use Debian :D
[19:44] <Humbedooh> reisio: he obviously wants real/time support :<
[19:44] <reisio> surfdue: don't we all
[19:44] <Humbedooh> rts!
[19:44] <reisio> Humbedooh: uhuh...
[19:44] <tornado> reisio: in archlinux it is downloadable from aur...
[19:44] <reisio> fabiofelgueirass: before or after, doesn't matter
[19:44] <reisio> fabiofelgueirass: just needs to be listed in that file
[19:44] <surfdue> the problem is most hosting panels require centos
[19:44] <surfdue> well finally im getting away from that..yay
[19:45] <reisio> they all suck anyways
[19:45] <surfdue> Lol this is irrelavant but my friend in germany just told me this over skype "do you know why people from america or poland cant connect to my minecraft server?"
[19:45] <surfdue> lulz..
[19:46] <surfdue> yes -.- I know exactly why.
[19:46] <jsumners> How do I configure lightdm to _not require_ a password for a specific user?
[19:46] <SunTsu> !ot > surfdue
[19:46] <fabiofelgueirass> reisio, ok but now i have the rtl working... i need to unistall it or everitime i place connect in icon it uzed the rtl
[19:46] <fabiofelgueirass> howi change it to uze the new card?
[19:46] <Stormx2> Hey. I've enabled network support for pulseaudio in "paprefs" in order to use MPD, but MPD is complaining that pulseaudio is refusing its connections. Any advice?
[19:47] <reisio> fabiofelgueirass: it really shouldn't matter
[19:47] <reisio> fabiofelgueirass: you tried to make a connection?
[19:47] <jsumners> No, I don't want autologin
[19:47] <reisio> jsumners: 'guest' account?
[19:48] <jsumners> Sort of. It's an account for a user that needs things to be as simple as possible
[19:49] <meco> What is the command to show the name of the video card?
[19:49] <reisio> meco: lspci | grep -i vga
[19:49] <meco> ok
[19:49] <slakcphil> lspci -v
[19:49] <Edward2> reisio: Ok, I unmuted the muted turning them into green 00, but no sound (Trying with Banshee Media Player). Only sound I got was from the 6-port card which was a hiss, but that was when I unmuted the mic boost.
[19:50] <slakcphil> that will be a detailed output
[19:50] <excelsior> My laptop spontaneously died on me. I checked the power, full strength, after turning on, I checked the battery, fully charged, it's a Dell Studio 1558, any thoughts?
[19:50] <reisio> Edward2: okay
[19:50] <reisio> Edward2: at the top left of alsamixer, does it mention 'HDA'?
[19:50] <slakcphil> excelsior, did it die? or powerdown
[19:51] <slakcphil> like die as in unplugged from wall taking battery out? or like shutdown -p now
[19:51] <reisio> -p?
[19:52] <Edward2> reisio: No 'HDA' at top left.
[19:52] <reisio> Edward2: what's it say?
[19:52]  * jsumners didn't realize this was the #google_links channel
[19:52] <apollo00> Is it possible to get a gui on ubuntu server?
[19:52] <alexhairyman> like an html frontend?
[19:52] <slakcphil> apollo00 apt-get install gnome-desktop-environment xorg
[19:53] <gregoire_> Hi
[19:53] <Edward2> reisio: Card: SB Audigy 2 [SB0240]; Chip: SigmaTel STAC9721,23.
[19:53] <reisio> apollo00: possible, but I wouldn't advise it
[19:53] <jsumners> But it isn't a link to exactly what I'm asking for. All of the top links are from 2007
[19:53] <jsumners> Ubuntu wasn't using lightdm in 2007
[19:53] <gregoire_> does one of you know something about the ip_forward option
[19:53] <slakcphil> apollo00, that's what i did on a 8.04 server and it gave me a minimal desktop env
[19:54] <slakcphil> maybe do a sudo apt-cache search gnome | grep -i desktop to see
[19:54]  * Humbedooh coughs at the words gnome and minimal
[19:54] <apollo00> thats exactly what im looking to do, a minimal desktop, i dont want all the added stuff
[19:54] <fivedaysahead> ctrl alt F8 to go to second console?
[19:54] <fivedaysahead> maybe try icewm?
[19:55] <fivedaysahead> or want more minimal than that?
[19:55] <slakcphil> Humbedoh, its minimal on a server with 16 GB RAM
[19:55] <reisio> jsumners: User Accounts > set password to 'None' ?
[19:55] <slakcphil> 8 core
[19:55] <fivedaysahead> damn making my old 4 core comp with 3 gb feel old
[19:55] <alexhairyman> Hello, I am trying to help a nonbeliever (windows user) with some problems (go figure) Tried teamviewer (which I used forever ago on windows) and I need a cross platform solution that does not rely on wine
[19:55] <reisio> just a wm should be minimal enough, virtually regardless of which wm
[19:55] <fivedaysahead> so how do i switch virtual consoles ctrl alt f8?
[19:55] <Humbedooh> pfft
[19:55] <spankstar> anyone know how to fix ubuntu install freezing after i select keyboard layout? im installing from usb to a netbook.
[19:56] <reisio> alexhairyman: why do you need that
[19:56] <jsumners> reisio, that has been done for several years already. This machine was just upgraded from Jaunty to Oneiric which forced a change from GDM to lightdm
[19:56] <reisio> spankstar: what'd you pick?
[19:56] <slakcphil> alexhairyman try screenconnect i think it does not
[19:56] <spankstar> ive googled and saw others having the same problem but no solutions were givin
[19:56] <slakcphil> maybe
[19:56] <killfoo> anyone here uses tlp and can give me the gpg pug key for 02D65EFF ? keyservers dont work -.-
[19:56] <fivedaysahead> or you could just initx which is super minimal!
[19:56] <slakcphil> :)
[19:56] <reisio> jsumners: the option isn't there anymore?
[19:56] <spankstar> reisio default usa
[19:56] <fivedaysahead> how do i switch virtual consoles?
[19:56] <spankstar> didnt really pick one just nit next
[19:56] <gregoire_> I tried to use ip_forward setting it to 1 by changing the sysctl.conf and even by the sysctl command but nothing works it's like I had done just nothing even if it written that the value is indeed to 1
[19:57] <reisio> spankstar: mmmm, could maybe try the alternate install image
[19:57] <reisio> spankstar: or try and pick something more specific
[19:58] <slakcphil> gregoire_ are you using it with a program that is already enabling it forwarding the packet twice?
[19:58] <VCoolio> fivedaysahead: ctrl+alt+f1-6, f7 for X
[19:58] <Edward2> spankstar, reisio: I ran into that. We could say I was running ahead of it. When installing, don't do ANYTHING until it says "Ready when you are".
[19:58] <alexhairyman> \msg slakcphil just a question, does it work on mac too?
[19:58] <fivedaysahead> VCoolio how do i go above F12?
[19:59] <alexhairyman> whoops
[19:59] <walden> hey, what programs are useful for editing video on Ubuntu?
[19:59] <reisio> Edward2: heh
[19:59] <fivedaysahead> if say i want to go to F13 for startx 7
[19:59] <slakcphil> alexhairyman, the lspci -v ?
[19:59] <reisio> Edward2: what'd you say, sigmatel something?
[19:59] <VCoolio> fivedaysahead: can't, why would you?
[19:59] <Edward2> reisio: Card: SB Audigy 2 [SB0240]; Chip: SigmaTel STAC9721,23.
[19:59] <walden> i tried editing AVCHD and ran into lots of b-frame problems
[19:59] <Matrixiumn> bye
[19:59] <excelsior> slakcphil: sorry I missed that earlier, it just died spontaneously. It's running Ubuntu 10.10, and had power and the battery in, and the battery was fully charged. It's a Dell Studio 1558.
[19:59] <reisio> alexhairyman: I mean why can't you use Wine & teamviewer
[19:59] <gregoire_> I don't think so, I am just setting this parameter and receiving ip packet from the other pc
[19:59] <VCoolio> fivedaysahead: 6 virtuel consoles is plenty, then one display server, maybe two, that's is, not?
[19:59] <slakcphil> alexhairyman, it should, you could always try lspci -h
[20:00] <slakcphil> or man lspci
[20:00] <excelsior> slakcphil: it came back on, I'm working from it now.
[20:00] <fivedaysahead> VCoolio: it is but is it possible to go above 6 i mean startx can make more than 6 so why would you not be able to access them?
[20:00] <spankstar> Edward2 so i should wait for a bit before choosing next?
[20:01] <VCoolio> fivedaysahead: I guess someone thought of a workaround / possibility, it's linux after all, but I don't know of it
[20:01] <Edward2> spankstar: Yeah, don't click next while it is installing.
[20:01] <spankstar> reisio there is not alt for the netbook ubuntu 10.04
[20:01] <spankstar> that i could find
[20:01] <fivedaysahead> me either been trying to figure it out but i can't there must be away thanks for your helpe VCoolio
[20:01] <slakcphil> excelsior, i would check the power settings and see if it is set to turn off when laptop lid is closed, there could be a short in the lid sensor...
[20:02] <reisio> spankstar: why're you using such an old version...
[20:02] <reisio> Edward2: pastebin lspci -n ?
[20:02] <spankstar> its the only netbook version i could find
[20:02] <spankstar> do you have a link for a newer one?
[20:02] <reisio> spankstar: you don't need a netbook version
[20:03] <reisio> most of the netbook edition ideas were folded into the mainline Ubuntu releases anyways, IIRC
[20:03] <jsumners> reisio, http://en.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-12282011-025802pm.php <-- hasn't been changed in years
[20:03] <reisio> jsumners: it just isn't working any longer?
[20:03] <jsumners> correct
[20:03] <reisio> what fun
[20:03] <spankstar> ive had it on here before and like the way it runs... so i can install ubuntu and then set up the netbook options?
[20:04] <spankstar> i only have a 1gig usb though.
[20:04] <reisio> jsumners: you might try finding its config file, moving it elsewhere, starting from a fresh one and re-setting None
[20:04] <jsumners> It worked prior to the forced switch from GDM
[20:04] <spankstar> isnt the newer release larger than that?
[20:04] <reisio> spankstar: yes it is
[20:04] <reisio> it's going to be hard to get support for such an old release
[20:05] <reisio> spankstar: sorry the _install media_ is not larger than 1GB
[20:05] <excelsior> slakcphil: I'm pretty sure it's not the power setting, it was a hard shut down,
[20:05] <reisio> thought you meant you were installing _to_ 1GB, not _from_
[20:05] <spankstar> samethi ng happens with the newest release of jolicloud too
[20:05] <spankstar> mint installed fine but it runs like shit
[20:05] <pangolin> spankstar: Please mind the language
[20:05] <spankstar> sorry
[20:06] <VCoolio> fivedaysahead: http://tldp.org/FAQ/Linux-FAQ/tips.html#switch-virtual-consoles
[20:06] <Edward2> ha! Nice timing. Half the internet died so I can't connect to a webpage.
[20:06] <reisio> spankstar: I doubt Ubuntu and Mint will run that differently
[20:06] <Toxa_zav_>  Здравствуйте, уважаемые пользователи. Столкнулся с такой проблемой: ноутбук e-machines d620 ( amd 1.6 ghz 874 mb ram videocard ATI x1250 128 mb)  стоит ubuntu 10.4.3 LTS Все обновления стоят.  а ситуация в том, что комп при просмотре видео или если серф в инете браузер тормозит

[20:11] <fabiofelgueiras> reisio, can i somwhow set the default card to be uzed when connection wirelles?
[20:11] <reisio> krysits: never heard of that one, though
[20:12] <reisio> fabiofelgueiras: I'm not sure you need bother

[20:12] <insectatorious> reisio: can't test it as it's on my parents' machine...but thanks..im guessing the result will tell me what I need
[20:12] <fabiofelgueiras> reisio, so i installed the 2800 thing u said now how i start uzng this new card?
[20:12] <insectatorious> VCoolio: which is what you specified im guessing..cheers

[20:15] <reisio> fabiofelgueiras: why is that a problem?
[20:16] <reisio> fabiofelgueiras: can you not connect to the wireless network with the new dongle?
[20:16] <fabiofelgueiras> reisio: when i press connect it goes uze the old etl card
[20:16] <fabiofelgueiras> rtl*
[20:16] <Pickleface> reisio: okay, I'm just on the trial version of ubuntu, should I install the whole thing on my computer before doing the drivers thing ?
[20:16] <juan_> sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop
[20:16] <juan_> windows
[20:16] <reisio> fabiofelgueiras: right click and tell it to forget/delete
[20:17] <Pickleface> http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html which one do I download ?
[20:17] <reisio> Pickleface: there's not much point in doing it before installing, unless you are bored or you can't see stuff
[20:17] <reisio> Pickleface: none
[20:17] <chuck122> hi all
[20:17] <reisio> Pickleface: follow the howto I already linked you to
[20:18] <fabiofelgueiras> reisio: i dont see how, and if i disconect the inner rtl card in the button of the laptop it dosent alow me to connect
[20:18] <reisio> Pickleface: generally if you're downloading applications from random websites for Linux, you're doing it wrong; use your package manager (or in this case, just the preinstalled configurator)
[20:18] <reisio> chuck122: hi
[20:18] <reisio> fabiofelgueiras: what was the other device model?
[20:18] <coventry> Is there a way to manually add essid/password combinations to NetworkManager, so that NetworkManager will bind to those essids when it sees them?
[20:19] <fabiofelgueiras> the other is a rtl8187
[20:19] <fabiofelgueiras> is the one im uzing now
[20:19] <fabiofelgueiras> but it is slow connection
[20:19] <reisio> fabiofelgueiras: add it to /etc/modprobe/blacklist, then reboot
[20:21] <Pickleface> reisio: how do I get to system ?
[20:21] <agostino> !list
[20:21] <reisio> Pickleface: system?
[20:21] <agostino> !list
[20:22] <Pickleface> yeah on the instructions it says     *        Go to System -> Administration -> Additional Drivers
[20:22] <NimeshNeema> how to install JDK in ubuntu 11.10 ?
[20:22] <Pickleface> how do I get to system :p
[20:22] <fabiofelgueiras> reisio: i have a etc/modeprobe.d is that it?
[20:22] <alien20501> NimeshNeema : depends, but if you download manually you need to link it properly with your app
[20:22] <Stormx2> Hey. I'm running a socket server on a particular port as user X. I can telnet to it fine as user X, but my connection is refused from user Y. What can I do to fix? I didn't have this issue in previous ubuntu versions.
[20:23] <Stormx2> The server never sees the connection from user Y, so i'm assuming it's an internal firewall issue
[20:23] <NimeshNeema> alien20501: i want to set up my system for Android dev.
[20:23] <chuck122> to install the JDK the more simple way is to make an apt-get instal open-jdk
[20:24] <NimeshNeema> chuck122: the command line says unable to locate package
[20:24] <alien20501> nimesh: did you try what chuck122 is saying? it should work also
[20:24] <NimeshNeema> :-(
[20:24] <tjingboem> i want to show you a very small .png and ask if someone knows what program creates such diagrams: http://www.csounds.com/manual/html/GEN13.html
[20:25] <alien20501> try openjdk-6-jre
[20:25] <alien20501> and openjdk-6-jdk
[20:25] <Pickleface> wow im hardly lagging
[20:25] <Pickleface> on windows I would lag so much
[20:25] <Pickleface> :X
[20:25] <coventry> From reading /usr/share/doc/network-manager/README.Debian, looks like the answer to my question is "use /etc/network/interfaces".
[20:25] <NimeshNeema> alien20501: kewl it worked
[20:25] <chuck122> NimeshNeema I dont knwo the exact name, the prompt should tell you a list of proposition
[20:26] <AAIBB^> does anyone know how I put ubuntu in energy efficient mode? I went from 10 hrs to 3 hrs battery life :s
[20:26] <NimeshNeema> alien20501:  thanks. BTW it was already installed
[20:26] <alien20501> nimesh: if unsure, you can always run "apt-cache search <PKG_NAME_OR_PART_OF_IT>"
[20:26] <alien20501> good
[20:26] <reisio> fabiofelgueiras: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[20:26] <NimeshNeema> in case i don't know the exact name of the package ?
[20:27] <chuck122> NimeshNeema you can dwl it on the oracle site
[20:27] <alien20501> yeah, or if you just want to browse pkgs available by partial name finding
[20:27] <Duker> Anyone know a way to correct overscan with an intel hd graphics 3000?
[20:27] <NimeshNeema> chuck122: i did that as well
[20:27] <chuck122> NimeshNeema then change make a chmod +x on the file
[20:27] <NimeshNeema> it's a .tar.gz archive
[20:27] <alien20501> nimesh: just uncompress it, using "tar xvfz file.tar.gz"
[20:28] <chuck122> NimeshNeema juste unzip it, in your document folder by instance
[20:28] <hamed> hi how are you i am using xubuntu and i can't add arabic language to write any thing with arabic
[20:28] <jstoone> When "file" command says that my file is a "MPEG v4 system, version 2" is it then a .mp3 or mp4?
[20:29] <alien20501> jstoone: if it's audio only, it's mp3, otherwise if it has video in it it's mp4
[20:29] <alien20501> usually
[20:29] <reisio> jstoone: "MPEG  4"
[20:29] <reisio> jstoone: it says right there in the output
[20:29] <reisio> jstoone: if you want a better idea, try ffmpeg -i file
[20:30] <jstoone> reisio: alien20501: Yea, but I just get confuesed 'cause when I think mp4 I think video+audio, but this is just audio..
[20:30] <NimeshNeema> alien20501: chuck122 thanks
[20:30] <alien20501> np
[20:30] <reisio> jstoone: you can thank Apple for that nonsense
[20:30] <chuck122> NimeshNeema then set the folder of jdk in the JAVA_HOME environnemnt variable, it's with this variable that the program will known how Java is located
[20:31] <NimeshNeema> chuck122: okies
[20:31] <chuck122> NimeshNeema u'r welcome
[20:31] <hamed> hi how can i add another language in xubuntu
[20:31] <jstoone> reisio: aha.. so a mpeg4 can be a solo audio track also. Good to know (:
[20:31] <reisio> "MPEG" covers a lot
[20:31] <reisio> as does MPEG-3, MPEG-2, MPEG-4
[20:31] <fabiofelgueiras> reisio: can u please tell me the command to edit the blacklist?
[20:31] <reisio> one part of MPEG-3 is what you know as "mp3"
[20:32] <reisio> fabiofelgueiras: sudo nano -w /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[20:32] <jstoone> reisio: alien20501: Thanks a lot! I'll continue googling a bit
[20:32] <fabiofelgueiras> reisio: ty
[20:32] <Edward2> reisio: Hi, sorry. Internet was funky and couldn't connect to anything else but chat. Here's pastebin: http://pastebin.com/eUtr2ZuF
[20:32] <jstoone> reisio: and the other part?
[20:32] <reisio> jstoone: actually sorry, one part of MPEG-2 is what you know as "mp3"
[20:32] <tornado369> I installed xorg-xdm but he doesn't recognize my user for login. He only recognizes the "root" user. What can i do?
[20:32] <fabiofelgueiras> reisio: is that file supose to be empty?
[20:32] <reisio> jstoone: MPEG-2, layer 3
[20:33] <reisio> jstoone: there are lots of parts, gobs of them
[20:33] <alien20501> actually, since we're on the subject... anyone knows a command that would convert a MP3 and/or flac as CONSTANT bitrate (even if it is VBR) ? I need to convert a bunch of mp3s so it works with a program that expects only CBR and not VBR... been looking around... lame seems to be an option
[20:33] <guntbert> tornado369: what is your system?
[20:33] <fabiofelgueiras> reisio: i see blacklist.conf is this the file i need to edit?
[20:33] <alien20501> but is there another one you guys might think of
[20:33] <reisio> jstoone: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_Picture_Experts_Group#Standards
[20:33] <tornado369> guntbert: archlinux
[20:33] <reisio> fabiofelgueiras: probably
[20:33] <alien20501> probably need to wrap it with a script or something
[20:33] <alien20501> so cli preferred
[20:34] <guntbert> tornado369: this channel is for ubuntu support only
[20:34] <surfdue> reisio: come to find out they require atleast 10.10 or 11.04 https://github.com/primalmotion/Archipel/wiki/General%3A-Supported-Linux-Distributions
[20:34] <surfdue> erg
[20:35] <surfdue> is it possible to upgrade from 10.04
[20:35] <reisio> surfdue: to what?
[20:35] <surfdue> 11.04
[20:35] <xangua> surfdue: you can ungrade from 10.04 to 10.10
[20:35] <xangua> and then from 10.10 to 11.04 and finally to 11.10 surfdue
[20:36] <surfdue> ah
[20:36] <gdoteof> i have firefox 8; i am trying to use the sun-java6-plugin and it's not working
[20:36] <guntbert> tornado369: but there is #archlinux        on this network
[20:36] <gdoteof> it installs; but about:plugins doesn't show anything
[20:36] <surfdue> ok do you have a link or command?
[20:36] <agostino> !list
[20:36] <gdoteof> also doesn't appear to work in chrome
[20:36] <alexhairyman> sun java is being removed from repositories by oracle in  a little while, better switch to openjdk
[20:36] <gdoteof> i am using ubuntu 11.04
[20:37] <surfdue> found it
[20:37] <alien20501> surfdue : try "update-manager"
[20:38] <Pickleface> crap
[20:38] <Pickleface> I just uninstalled my win7 and installed ubuntu
[20:38] <Pickleface> XD
[20:39] <guntbert> !enter | Pickleface
[20:39] <alien20501> Pickleface: sound to me like something that should have started with : yay!!!
[20:40] <Pickleface> okay, sorry
[20:40] <syst3m> hello, I was just wondering if anyone else is having slow update speeds or download speeds from software center?
[20:40] <surfdue> !8ball | I am hungry.
[20:40] <surfdue> lame -.-
[20:40] <snoeman> how do I change a ssh session using remote desktop viewer from cli to gui?
[20:40] <Pickleface> lol I hope I dont regret it, so far I am liking it :)
[20:40] <alien20501> syst3m: yep... happens sometimes
[20:41] <Edward2> reisio: You still there?
[20:41] <MahaVishnu> snoeman{} something like export DISPLAY=:0.0 then start an x server
[20:41] <alexhairyman> syst3m: I use apt-get for 90% of my stuff
[20:41] <gdoteof> i just don't get it.  every tutorial says to simply intall sun-java6-plugin
[20:41] <gdoteof> but it doesn't work for me
[20:41] <tornado369> guntbert: i know it. But on that channel people are like plants.
[20:41] <syst3m> alien20501: thanks. first time ive noticed it.
[20:42] <guntbert> tornado369: but we don't support archlinux here
[20:42] <fabiofelgueiras> hi again reisio
[20:42] <alien20501> syst3m: what you CAN do is switch mirrors in sources.list
[20:42] <snoeman> MahaVishu:where do I put the commands?
[20:42] <fabiofelgueiras> reisio: i have blacklisted the 8187 and it is now starting
[20:42] <tornado369> guntbert: but i could install xorg-xdm on ubuntu too, isn't it?
[20:42] <fabiofelgueiras> reisio: but the other card not installed
[20:42] <MahaVishnu> snoeman{} are you ssh'ed in to the server you want a gui on ?
[20:43] <snoeman> yes
[20:43] <nixbox> hi guys
[20:43] <snoeman> on cli
[20:43] <gdoteof> then to install it 'manually' it says to look under /opt/java and make a symbolic link to the plugin folder
[20:43] <gdoteof> but there is not an /opt/java!
[20:43] <guntbert> snoeman: if you don't need the complete desktop just start the ssh connection with:     ssh -X  user@host     then start a GUI app from there
[20:43] <MahaVishnu> snoeman{} then put the command there
[20:43] <fabiofelgueiras> reisio: im now in another computer i can talk with u in this computer to solve the problem of installing the other card
[20:43] <syst3m> alien20501: change location in software sources?
[20:43] <snoeman> Where do I put the commands?
[20:44] <alien20501> sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[20:44] <guntbert> tornado369: it doesn't matter - things are different in both distros
[20:44] <alien20501> before "archive.ubuntu.com" you add your 2 letter country code
[20:44] <alien20501> it does wonders
[20:44] <chuck122> anyone knowns why there are no .bashtc file in Linux mint and where so where set the variable environnement in this distribution?
[20:44] <nixbox> i just installed ubuntu 11.10, my wireless does not work through the network manager, even if i try to enable wireless from the network manager context menu, it gets disabled immediately and i do not get an error. I have an atheros wifi card with ath5k driver, iwconfig shows the wlan0 interface and doing a scan using iwlist wlan0 scan works perfect. Moreover, wicd-manager is able to connect using wireless, but its the network manager 
[20:44] <alien20501> for example, ca.archive.ubuntu.com for canada
[20:45] <guntbert> MahaVishnu: no need for {} after a nick
[20:45] <xangua> !mint | chuck122
[20:45] <snoeman> guntbert: Can you be more specific where I put the ssh -X etc. Remote desktop viewer has no place for commands.
[20:45] <syst3m> mine is already ca.archive.ubuntu.com
[20:45] <agostino> !list
[20:45] <alien20501> then try us
[20:46] <fabiofelgueiras> i need help install the wn727n in ubuntu 11.10
[20:46] <alien20501> when the CA servers are loaded
[20:46] <chuck122> ubottu kk I use Ubuntu but I try Mint and I wondering where was this file
[20:46] <chuck122> ubottu don't worry ;)
[20:46] <guntbert> snoeman: on your local machine, in CLI you write     ssh -X <username>@<remoteHost>, then you get a shell again and there you call your GUI program
[20:47] <alien20501> chuck122: did you mean ".bashrc" ?
[20:47] <fivedaysahead> why do my bash scripts run different when i run it with ./ and double clicking the file?
[20:47] <chuck122> alien20501 yes
[20:47] <alien20501> or are u talking about tcsh shell ?
[20:47] <snoeman> ok thanks
[20:47] <Edward2> Is anyone else able to help me with getting sound to work on Ubuntu 11.10?
[20:47] <alien20501> what does echo $SHELL report
[20:48] <ezrafree> hello
[20:48] <fivedaysahead> it tells me /bin/bash
[20:48] <guntbert> !sound | Edward2 did you see
[20:48] <alien20501> it's possible that it's not there, I've seen it before, but it doesn't matter, if you create it, it will be used
[20:48] <ezrafree> is it possible to install the latest thunderbird in ubuntu?
[20:48] <fivedaysahead> which is what i have set
[20:48] <chuck122> alien20501 In Ubuntu distribution I set the export of variable environnement in the end of this file but in Linux Mint this fils doesn't exist.
[20:48] <fivedaysahead> but i have su user2 and then gedit to have it open but if i run it with ./ it won't open but if i double click the file it works?
[20:48] <fivedaysahead> any ideas
[20:48] <alien20501> chuck122: doesn't matter, the binary code for bash should try to use it...
[20:48] <guntbert> chuck122: please don't ask for mint support here
[20:49] <xangua> ezrafree: there is a stable thunderbird PPA
[20:49] <graft> chuck122: if there's no ~/.bashrc it'll use /etc/bash.bashrc or some such
[20:49] <peterrus> hey, booting my ubuntu server 11.10 install seems to hang at 'running init-bottom'. Is there  some way I can check whats going wrong?
[20:49] <snarkster> im trying to recover some deleted images on my daughters ipod, but cant seem to find where it mounted it.. anyone else ever done this before?
[20:49] <chuck122> graft kk sorry
[20:49] <agostino> dvdrip
[20:49] <alien20501> it's easier to just create it imho
[20:49] <peterrus> snarkster: afaik you cant mount the ipod as mass storage
[20:49] <peterrus> might be wrong on that though
[20:49] <peterrus> i probably am
[20:49] <snarkster> oh damn that sucks
[20:50] <peterrus> do a sudo fdisk -u
[20:50] <graft> i think you can mount an ipod
[20:50] <peterrus> or fdisk -l
[20:50] <peterrus> not sure , one of the two
[20:50] <graft> when my brother plugs his in it mounts...
[20:50] <MahaVishnu> you can mount it usually ends up in /media/ipod or some such
[20:50] <snarkster> fdisk -l shows nothing but the internal drives
[20:50] <ezrafree> xangua: is it possible to install the latest version of thunderbird? (version 9)
[20:50] <guntbert> peterrus: you could ask in #ubuntu-server (might get better response)
[20:51] <alien20501> try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone
[20:51] <peterrus> guntbert: tnx
[20:51] <Jahcros> snarkster: how old is the ipod?
[20:51] <MahaVishnu> snarkster~ any error messages in dmesg when plugging it in ?

[20:57] <graft> ezrafree: i wouldn't count on it
[20:57] <fabiofelgueiras> i need help install the wn727n in ubuntu 11.10
[20:57]  * Daxter calls ezrafree a baboon-faced toilet.
[20:57] <graft> ezrafree: 11.10 is frankly pretty bad as far as gnome/compiz goes, they deprecated that in favor of unity
[20:58] <graft> ezrafree: i switched to kde4 in 11.10
[20:58] <ezrafree> graft: meh, guess i'll have to remove the apt version of thunderbird and install from their website then
[20:58] <snarkster> really strange how there are no mount points showing anywhere but software works on it
[20:58] <bradleymeck> is there an alternative version of skype that doesnt crash and burn on ubuntu?

[21:05] <graft> fabiofelgueiras: which command?
[21:06] <fabiofelgueiras> dmesg
[21:06] <graft> fabiofelgueiras: well, just see what it says after you plug the wireless card in
[21:06] <fabiofelgueiras> graft: please help me install this step by step please
[21:07] <phre4k> hello, I want to display the LightDM not on the first, but on the second display. How do I manage that?
[21:07] <c3ntury> Hey guys.
[21:07] <graft> fabiofelgueiras: are you running 11.10?
[21:07] <rhizmoe> how do i know what process handles on-screen notifications?
[21:07] <rhizmoe> 11.10
[21:07] <fabiofelgueiras> graft: yes
[21:07] <reisio> c3ntury: hey
[21:07] <graft> fabiofelgueiras: are you running the 3.0.0 kernel?
[21:07] <trism> rhizmoe: notify-osd if you are using unity
[21:08] <c3ntury> I'm trying to get a classic gnome (with taskbar etc) environment on my Ubuntu Server install... but it's not going well.
[21:08] <c3ntury> http://imgf.tw/800841395.png
[21:08] <c3ntury> Here's what I've got so far.
[21:08] <fabiofelgueiras> graft: dunno
[21:08] <Pickleface> okay I got ubuntu kind of set up
[21:08] <c3ntury> Any ideas what I'm going wrong ? :/ and hey reisio :)
[21:08] <graft> fabiofelgueiras: type "uname -a" in the terminal
[21:08] <Pickleface> reisio: can you link me to the page again to update my drivers for my graphics card ?
[21:09] <fabiofelgueiras> graft : yest it says 3.0.0-12
[21:09] <snarkster> anyone else got any ideas on iOS 5.0.1 device mount points?
[21:09] <graft> fabiofelgueiras: can you pastebin your 'lsmod' output?
[21:09] <graft> fabiofelgueiras: after you plug the card in?
[21:09] <MahaVishnu> snarkster~ do a locate on a filename from the ipod like. locate sally323.jpg
[21:09] <fabiofelgueiras> i notice when i plug it the dmesg says that new highspeed device 6 using ehci_hcd
[21:09] <gaurav> 02:39 *** HelloComputer15 JOIN
[21:10] <fabiofelgueiras> graft: i notice when i plug it the dmesg says that new highspeed device 6 using ehci_hcd
[21:10] <snarkster> hmm
[21:10] <snarkster> ok
[21:10] <worrow> I need some direction please.
[21:10] <graft> worrow: south
[21:10] <MahaVishnu> snarkster~ you have a very strange situation
[21:10] <worrow> I am looking for an operating system by Linux that makes it easy to make my computer a wifi hotspot
[21:10] <xangua> !nounity | c3ntury: install ubuntu-desktop and then the gnome fallback mode
[21:11] <graft> worrow: you can do that with ubuntu easily, just goto network manager and select 'create new wireless network'
[21:11] <c3ntury> ubottu, xangua, apparently ubuntu-desktop is already installed.
[21:11] <c3ntury> Ah, sorry. Wait, why am I talking to a bot?
[21:11] <fabiofelgueiras> graft: im in another pc trying to install it
[21:11] <worrow> graft, I tried doing that with ad-hoc but ad-hoc does not work well
[21:11] <snarkster> hmm running locate only finds whats in my .local folder.
[21:12] <graft> c3ntury: it won't go well, they ditched gnome2... the fallback is basically a kludge
[21:12] <fabiofelgueiras> graft: cant past it but i can tell u some of the output
[21:12] <graft> c3ntury: basically, you can't have a gnome2 experience any more on ubuntu
[21:12] <fabiofelgueiras> graft: it have the rt2800usb and rt2800lib
[21:12] <c3ntury> But unity bloody crashes on my server.. :/
[21:12] <Pickleface> Erm can someone help me, I just installed ubuntu and everything looks really big, I think I need drivers for my graphics card I had the nivida GT 520
[21:13] <worrow> graft, I have peppermint os and have tried the create wireless and it was a no go. My mac computer see's it and then when trying to connect to it, it times out
[21:13] <graft> c3ntury: i switched to kde4, it's pretty nice
[21:13] <phre4k> anyone have an idea how to display the LightDM greeter on the second display instead of the first?
[21:14] <c3ntury> That's an idea graft, how could I go about installing that?
[21:14] <graft> c3ntury: just install kubuntu-desktop
[21:14] <snarkster> found it
[21:14] <fabiofelgueiras> graft: i connected the rtl8187 on the other pc you whant me to paste output of what command?
[21:14] <snarkster> ./.gvfs
[21:14] <graft> fabiofelgueiras: dmesg and lsmod
[21:14] <fabiofelgueiras> ok
[21:14] <c3ntury> graft: Do I just install it and then it'll suddenly work or is there more to it? o.0
[21:14] <worrow> is there a 1 click tool for creating a wireless hotspot?
[21:15] <graft> c3ntury: pretty much... it'll show up as an option when you login, as "KDE plasma desktop" or some such
[21:15] <graft> worrow: peppermint os?
[21:15] <worrow> ya, derivative of ubuntu
[21:15] <c3ntury> When I login? I'm on server bare in mind graft :p
[21:15] <worrow> haven't switched yet
[21:15] <c3ntury> So login would be via SSH.
[21:15] <c3ntury> Or VNC.
[21:15] <graft> worrow: don't they have their own help channel?
[21:16] <snarkster> nope
[21:16] <worrow> need somethine thats easy to share network connection just like a mac does.
[21:16] <snarkster> thats not it
[21:16] <worrow> Yes but not many people there
[21:16] <worrow> Besides I am trying to find another system
[21:16] <graft> worrow: well, in ubuntu it's a snap via network manager, i can't imagine they changed it that much.... i'm not sure what you mean about ad-hoc, it doesn't even give me that option
[21:16] <worrow> i want it to be wired internet--->computer-->Share via wifi
[21:17] <xangua> then pleas ask to your distro support channel, forums, whatever
[21:17] <xangua> worrow:
[21:17] <fivedaysahead> how do you run a program with it automatically switching to it? like gedit & will switch to it automatically how do i keep the focus on the terminal? and have it still open gedit?
[21:17] <graft> c3ntury: wait, why do you care about unity, etc. if you're just sshing in?
[21:17] <c3ntury> graft: I need to run VirtualBox.
[21:17] <c3ntury> And it'd seem you can't do that purely on the terminal within a screen or whatever :/
[21:17] <linxeh> I run virtualbox headly
[21:17] <worrow> do I have tohave my shared connection set a certain way for a mac to see it?
[21:17] <linxeh> headless
[21:18] <c3ntury> linxeh: How on earth do you do that?!
[21:18] <linxeh> and use RDP to connect to it
[21:18] <c3ntury> Can you do it with vmware as well?
[21:18] <linxeh> c3ntury: install the debs from the oracle site
[21:18] <escott> fivedaysahead, that would have to be something in the window manager. you might see if there is a plugin to compiz in ccsm if you are using unity
[21:18] <linxeh> c3ntury: only with vmware esxi
[21:18] <snarkster> nautilus is no help
[21:18] <c3ntury> ESXi is a OS of its own iirc? :p
[21:18] <x3no> can anybody help with this?      http://sebmalod.deviantart.com/art/Dynamic-desktop-UBUNTU-99007631      then: Then, right click on the desktop--> " change background" - > "Add"---> and navigate towards... / Chameleon / Chameleon.xml. , in ubuntu 11.10 it cant open something that IS NOT an image
[21:18] <linxeh> c3ntury: the "full" virtualbox lets you install an addons package that provides headless RDP support
[21:18] <fivedaysahead> well what i really want to do is when i startx -- :1 it will automatically switch to it and i don't want that i want it to run in the background
[21:19] <linxeh> c3ntury: yes, esxi is a full hypervisor that runs as its own OS. VMware server used to do it too iirc, but it is discontinued
[21:19] <c3ntury> linxeh: mmkay. I'll look into it now. :)
[21:19] <c3ntury> I'll need it for VMWare Player then anyway.
[21:19] <worrow> whats the difference between ad-hoc and infastructure wqhen setting up a shared wireless?
[21:19] <c3ntury> Back to square one xD
[21:21] <peterrus> What would be the correct way to disable the framebuffer when booting?
[21:21] <linxeh> worrow: adhoc is peer to peer, and potentialy slower with many devices. infrastructure typically uses a router / access point (or more than one)
[21:22] <escott> fivedaysahead, that wont work. the X server will automatically probe the device. what about xnest?
[21:23] <snarkster> ifuse failed to start AFC service 'com.apple.afc' on the device
[21:23] <fabiofelgueiras> graft: thedmesg is to big dont apear all in the window
[21:24] <c3ntury> graft: Installed, and uh, nothing changed.
[21:24] <c3ntury> I need to edit the xstartup file methinks, but no idea what to put in.
[21:24] <graft> c3ntury: err? i'm not sure exactly how you're starting your session...
[21:25] <c3ntury> vncserver :1 usually graft.
[21:26] <x3no> hello there. "I'm having problems getting a dynamic background for Ubuntu that changes hourly to work. I'm following the instructions on here - http://sebmalod.deviantart.com/art/Dynamic-desktop-UBUNTU-99007631  - can anyone point me in the right direction? " ubuntu 11.10
[21:27] <graft> c3ntury: hmm, dunno much about vncserver any more, sorry
[21:27] <c3ntury> No worries :(
[21:27] <graft> fabiofelgueiras: just paste whatever you can, mate
[21:27] <fivedaysahead> is it possible to be able to run startx -- :1 without it automatically switching to that screen
[21:28] <c3ntury> YES, I've done it!
[21:28] <c3ntury> Just put in the command 'gnome-session-fallback' into the console.
[21:28] <graft> c3ntury: what, running kde?
[21:28] <c3ntury> Nope, gnome-fallback graft.
[21:28] <graft> ah
[21:29] <fabiofelgueiras> graft: ok i pasted it in http://pastebin.com/7eSNcYbvT
[21:30] <fabiofelgueiras> graft: ok i pasted it in http://pastebin.com/eSNcYbvT
[21:30] <fabiofelgueiras> graft: is this one http://pastebin.com/eSNcYbvT
[21:30] <phre4k> How do I change LightDM to show on another display? <--- still unanswered
[21:32] <graft> fabiofelgueiras: looks like it's working...?
[21:32] <escott> phre4k, have you tried adjusting the vt_handoff argument to the kernel?
[21:33] <fabiofelgueiras> graft: is working the rtl8187 but i have a usb pen wireless wn272n what i whant to connect insted of the rtl8187
[21:34] <graft> fabiofelgueiras: so, is this the dmesg output for the rtl8187?
[21:34] <phre4k> escott: what do I do with vt_handoff?
[21:35] <ManDay> I need to know where does the "Remove installation medium and press ENTER" come from?
[21:35] <fabiofelgueiras> is the dmesg of the computer now that is connected with the rtl8187 so i can paste it in pastebin
[21:35] <ManDay> This was a statement, actually.
[21:35] <ManDay> And the question was implied.
[21:35] <graft> fabiofelgueiras: but, did you generate the dmesg output when the wn272n was plugged in, or when the rtl8187 was plugged in?
[21:36] <Melissa>  I want to remove Ubuntu + Grub completely.  How do I remove it + Grub?
[21:37] <Melissa> someone pls help?
[21:37] <graft> Melissa: you need a bootloader... what are you going to replace grub with?
[21:37] <Melissa> graft, W7
[21:37] <graft> Melissa: just install w7, it'll overwrite grub... you can just format the drive ubuntu is on
[21:37] <fivedaysahead> just format your harddrive hwen you install W7
[21:37] <Melissa> graft: where do I get a bootloader?
[21:37] <fivedaysahead> will come with W&
[21:37] <fivedaysahead> w7
[21:38] <fabiofelgueiras> graft: the 2 card are plugued, but the rtl8187 is in uze
[21:38] <Melissa> graft: i still get a grub error
[21:38] <graft> Melissa: windows has its own, it'll install it
[21:38] <graft> fabiofelgueiras: yes, but did you type dmesg before you plugged in the rtl8187 or after?
[21:38] <fivedaysahead> graft how do i kill a virtual console like logout?
[21:38] <fivedaysahead> what's the command?
[21:38] <fabiofelgueiras> graft: and the other i have tryed to install but if i disconect the 8187 it dosent connect uzing the new card
[21:38] <Melissa> graft: does this boot CD overwrite grub and replace with windows MBR?  http://www.supergrubdisk.org/category/download/rescatuxdownloads/
[21:38] <fabiofelgueiras> after
[21:38] <graft> fivedaysahead: exit?
[21:38] <fivedaysahead> well kill
[21:38] <fivedaysahead> say i did startx -- :1 and now want it to die
[21:38] <fivedaysahead> waht do i do?
[21:39] <graft> fivedaysahead: can't you just kill the process?
[21:39] <Melissa> graft: ?
[21:39] <fivedaysahead> that would do it?
[21:39] <graft> Melissa: i don't know... but if you install windows, it should install its own boot loader into the MBR
[21:40] <graft> Melissa: did you install ubuntu after installing windows?
[21:40] <graft> fivedaysahead: yes, that should do it
[21:40] <fabiofelgueiras> graft: and the other i have tryed to install but if i disconect the 8187 it dosent connect uzing the new card i this dmesg is after connecting the rtl
[21:40] <Melissa> graft: yes after
[21:40] <Melissa> graft: so what can I do now?
[21:41] <fivedaysahead> sweet thanks graft
[21:41] <escott> phre4k, doesn't seem to be there anymore. guess they took that option out
[21:41] <graft> Melissa: try google... this is really a windows question. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/ee851681.aspx
[21:41] <Melissa> ok
[21:41] <phre4k> and how do I get the LightDM greeter on the other display?^^
[21:41] <Melissa> graft: is 64bit Ubuntu any good?
[21:42] <fivedaysahead> switch your cables???
[21:42] <graft> Melissa: depends what you mean by 'any good'
[21:42] <Melissa> graft: if I use Ubuntu 64bit, can I connect it to my Xbox and stream videos like I can in Windows?
[21:42] <Ynodde> Melissa: also depends on what you want to do with it ;)
[21:42] <graft> Melissa: seems unlikely that xbox integration is going to be better in ubuntu than in windows, but i dunno
[21:42] <Melissa> Ynodde: play games, connect to xbox and web browsing
[21:42] <fivedaysahead> maybe a UNDP server might do it
[21:42] <Melissa> graft: but does it work, connecting ubuntu to xbox?
[21:43] <Ynodde> Melissa:Problem is most games are windows only, and will either not run, or run bad on linux
[21:43] <fivedaysahead> xbox doesn't support mkv natively so no easy HD solution
[21:43] <fivedaysahead> it does support wmv
[21:43] <Melissa> graft: I want to record TV on ubuntu and stream the videos to my xbox so I can watch on TV.  Is that possible in Ubuntu?
[21:43] <Ynodde> Melissa: I dont own a Xbox, so i dont know what is used to stream the videos
[21:43] <Melissa> Ynodde: are there any battlefield 3 type games for Ubuntu?
[21:43] <fivedaysahead> you can install xbmc if you have a tv tuner card to record tv
[21:43] <Guest67708> Hey guys!
[21:43] <fivedaysahead> or mythbuntu
[21:43] <MahaVishnu> Melissa~ yes if you use 'ps3 media server' works with 360 also
[21:44] <mausi> anyone willing to help a xubuntu newbee?
[21:44] <fivedaysahead> sure
[21:44] <Ynodde> melissa:mythbuntu would be the easiest solution
[21:44] <fivedaysahead> i have xubuntu
[21:44] <Melissa> fivedaysahead: what do yu mean?
[21:44] <Melissa> !mythubuntu
[21:44] <Guest67708> I'm trying to backup my entire xubuntu system on to an external drive
[21:44] <mausi> cant play divx in xubuntu
[21:44] <Ynodde> melissa:http://www.mythbuntu.org/
[21:44] <Guest67708> so I can install Windows 7 then dual boot xubuntu
[21:44] <fivedaysahead> you should be able
[21:45] <fivedaysahead> i can play back divx and xvid and what not
[21:45] <fivedaysahead> do you have VLC mausi?
[21:45] <Ynodde> maus1: Did you install the xunbuntu-restricted-extras ?
[21:45] <Ynodde> maus1: or the VLC player, these will prbably fix your problems
[21:46] <mausi> didnt install the restricted extras, cause it needs to delete some files
[21:46] <Guest67708> maus1 open a terminal window and type sudo apt-get install xunbuntu-restricted-extras
[21:46] <Ynodde> maus1: delete files like what? i usually only removes what it improves
[21:46] <fivedaysahead> yaa it usually only helps hmmm
[21:46] <fivedaysahead> should ahve installed restricted extras :) maybe try installing that?
[21:47] <Guest67708> sudo apt-get install xunbuntu-restricted-extras
[21:47] <Uncle|Sam> Is there a possibility to block ip spoofing udp packages on ubuntu servers?
[21:47] <go8765> hello.can anybody help me with Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_widget_set_tooltip_text: assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed in claws-mail?
[21:47] <mausi> libav codec library and libav utility library will be deleted
[21:48] <Ynodde> Uncle|Sam: Probably using iptables, or maybe even UFW (firewall config tool)
[21:48] <mausi> when i ask xubuntu to install the restricted stuff
[21:48] <Ynodde> maus1: Should not ba a problem, the restricted extras are all codecs and flash support
[21:49] <Uncle|Sam> Ynodde i tried iptables but all i know to block is ip adresses and the attacker uses each time another ip :( but i am looking for UFW and try that! thank you
[21:49] <Ynodde> maus1: Alternativly you can install vlc which has all the codecs "built-in"
[21:49] <fivedaysahead> yes try VLC
[21:49] <Ynodde> but you will have to play everything with VLC
[21:49] <Guest67708> terminal window aka right click "open terminal here" then type sudo apt-get install vlc player
[21:50] <Ynodde> Uncle|Sam: you mean spoofed public adresses
[21:50] <mausi> vlc is not my favourite choice, had some problems with on ubuntu
[21:50] <Guest67708> Guys I need too install back up my data on to an external drive
[21:50] <Guest67708> I'm using xubuntu
[21:50] <airtonix> So i have this system76 serval pro i7 and the fan turns on fullspeed at random times... i'm looking for a way to tone it down without restarting the machine.
[21:50] <Ynodde> Uncle|Sam: There not much you can do about  it , just make sure all un nessasery deamons are shut down, and ports closed with iptables
[21:50] <Melissa> if I install MythUbuntu, can I then record TV and stream the files to my XBox?
[21:50] <graft> mausi: try mplayer
[21:50] <Uncle|Sam> Ynodde i host call of duty server and this servers have a bug to reply on spoofed ip packages to another ip adress. i want to stop that but i cant stop them all :(
[21:51] <fabiofelgueiras> graft: u there?????????????????????
[21:51] <Melissa> fivedaysahead: you can install xbmc if you have a tv tuner card to record tv <-- what do you mean?
[21:51] <rhizmoe> trism: thanks
[21:51] <escott> airtonix, most of that will be controlled with files in /sys. you might want to switch to a more conservative power profile
[21:52] <graft> fabiofelgueiras: yeah, i don't have much for you bud, sorry
[21:52] <Ynodde> Uncle|Sam: hmmm, all to the COD ip port?
 Melissa~ yes if you use 'ps3 media server' works with 360 also <-- I install Ps3 media server on Ubuntu?
[21:52] <mausi> ok, after installing the restrictetd stuff, i still cant play divx
[21:52] <phre4k> then try installing the VLC player
[21:52] <Ynodde> maus1: Thats weird, did you try different files, to rule out that divx isnt just broken?
[21:52] <airtonix> mausi: did you follow this > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[21:53] <mausi> yes, i also restartet the browser etc.
[21:53] <Uncle|Sam> Ynodde the attacker send a status command to the cod server with ip spoofing and the server reply to another server/ip with a complete status report ... :(
[21:54] <Ynodde> Uncle|Sam: Thats crap, you cannot prevent that i am afraid if you run a public server, this is a COD problem, not fixable.
[21:55] <Ynodde> Uncle|Sam: The problem is that there is no way to determine if a ip packet is spoofed
[21:55] <Uncle|Sam> Ynodde there is a inofficial fix for linux but i dont think its working 100%
[21:55] <Ynodde> Uncle|Sam: Is it the same destination server?
[21:56] <Ynodde> Uncle|Sam: Then you could block outgoing traffic to that server
[21:56] <Duker> I can't seem to play video, whenever I try to play any video file I have (tried MPlayer and VLC) my screen just starts flashing
[21:56] <pythonirc101> how do I fix this-- my firefox says: "Your browser reports that it is using Java version 0.0.0. Please visit java.sun.com and install Java Runtime Environment version 1.5 or greater." -- and I would prefer not to install anything from oracle/sun if possible.
[21:56] <ManDay> I need to know where does the "Remove installation medium and press ENTER" come from. Does anyone know?
[21:57] <Ynodde> Duker: Probably bad video driver. What videocard do you have?
[21:57] <wolf8> salut les noobs
[21:57] <wolf8> hi noobs
[21:57] <Uncle|Sam> Ynodde i hate your answer that i cannot determinate if a packet is spoofed, and the attack destination is another after about an hour
[21:57] <MahaVishnu> wolf8~ hi noobie
[21:57] <Uncle|Sam> Ynodde so UFW is not a solution for my problem?
[21:58] <wolf8> bite
[21:58] <Ynodde> Uncle|Sam: Sorry m8, thats one of the drawbacks of IP4
[21:58] <wolf8> chatte
[21:58] <wolf8> nichon

[21:58] <Ynodde> Uncle|Sam:Probably not
[21:58] <Ynodde> Uncle|Sam: did you install the fix already ?
[21:58] <Uncle|Sam> Ynodde so i have no chance to block spoofed packets, i just can block too much connections ...
[21:59] <Uncle|Sam> Ynodde yes i have, and it tells me every status message and if it is allowed or not
[21:59] <Duker> Ynodde: How can I find what video card I have? I beleive its the intel hd graphics 3000, or w/e is built into this i7

[21:59] <Duker> MahaVishnu: thanks
[21:59] <pythonirc101> is it safe to enable partner repositories?
[22:00] <Ynodde> Duker:what maravishnu said
[22:00] <Uncle|Sam> Ynodde if you are interested the fix for cod4 server can be found here: http://www.fpsadmin.com/forum/showthread.php?p=107462
[22:00] <Uncle|Sam> *inofficial fix
[22:00] <Ynodde> Uncle|Sam: Ill take a quick peek
[22:01] <Ynodde> Uncle|Sam: Did you try the iptables commands they give in the forum?
[22:01] <Uncle|Sam> Ynodde yes and much more :P
[22:02] <Duker> MahaVishnu: ~ lspci | grep "VGA" shows "bash: /home/user: Is a directory
[22:03] <MahaVishnu> Duker~ thats odd...
[22:03] <pythonirc101> anyone can tell me what the correct last command in this session is -- http://www.php-architect.com/blog/2010/10/19/installing-java-plugin-for-firefox-on-ubuntu-10-10-maverick/ -- it doesn't work on my ubuntu

[22:12] <captainjamie> Can anyone point me to a good tutorial for Glade? I'm just starting with it making my first program and I'm trying to get buttons to do stuff when clicked.
[22:16] <arminh> Hey hows everyone doing
[22:17] <arminh> Is anyone running Ubuntu ?
[22:17] <Daekdroom> arminh, sure
[22:17] <arminh> im having a problem
[22:17] <Daekdroom> Ask your question and someone will answer it when they read it
[22:17] <arminh> with my wifi connection
[22:18] <arminh> Ok so i have Ubuntu and windows 7 and when i use Windows 7 my wifi connection is great but when i use ubuntu i only get 2 bars
[22:18] <arminh> how do i fix this
[22:19] <dr_willis> but wireless does work>
[22:19] <dr_willis> ?
[22:19] <escott> arminh, there isnt a standard for what 2 bars vs 4 bars means. if its working then its fine
[22:19] <arminh> it does work when i get really close to my router
[22:19] <arminh> it does work but the connection is ridiculously weak
[22:19] <dr_willis> and your specific wilress card/chipset is what exactly?
[22:20] <dr_willis> is the throughput any slower?  dropped connections?
[22:20] <jeaton> completely off topic, but anyone here with an ipod shuffle 2nd gen, i'm needing an image of the drive copied with dd
[22:21] <arminh> Idk the Specs all i know is that when i am using Windows 7 my connection is great but when i use Ubuntu in the same place it is weakk
[22:21] <mellpatr> I have the error
[22:21] <mellpatr> java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /home/mellpatr/opt/CA/client/lib/libldap.so: libssl.so.0.9.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[22:21] <mellpatr> but the file exists in  /home/mellpatr/opt/CA/client/lib
[22:21] <mellpatr> anyone have an idea of this error ?
[22:22] <AzoteLogiko> mellpatr, perhaps a problem with permissions and groups?
[22:22] <captainjamie> If anyone answered my question regarding Glade before, I was disconnected, and could they repost? Otherwise I shall await a reply :)
[22:22] <escott> mellpatr, is it a broken link? what does ls -l say
[22:22] <tsousa> is there a bug on rt2500?
[22:23] <dr_willis> arminh:  You should determind your wireless chipset, and check the forums, the bug reporting sites, and perhaps askubuntu.com to see if others can verify issues with the drivers for that chipset and if any known workarounds exist.
[22:23] <compitz> hey guys
[22:23] <mellpatr> AzoteLogiko: i check but dont have any to block...
[22:23] <metaspike> dr_willis, assuming sdc is your ipod dd if=/dev/sdc1 of=~/ipodimage.iso
[22:23] <edbian> compitz, hello
[22:23] <dr_willis> !wireless
[22:23] <tsousa> is there a dev ubuntu channel?
[22:23] <mellpatr> escott: the file isnt a link... im check too
[22:23] <AzoteLogiko> tsousa, try to install the new drivers at http://wireless.kernel.org/
[22:24] <reisio> tsousa: /msg alis list *ubunt*dev*
[22:24] <mellpatr> but my ubuntu is oneiric 64
[22:24] <compitz> im working on a graphics problem, is there a way of showing all that terminal has shown, lets say last month, and im not talking about "history", cause that only whows my entries
[22:24] <mellpatr> and i trying to run the eclipse over 32-bits platform
[22:24] <edbian> compitz, No, that information is not recorded
[22:24] <metaspike> or dd if=/dev/sdc of=/home/myuser/myimage.iso       - to iso the entire drive dunno if that's better or worse thos.
[22:24] <reisio> mellpatr: why's that
[22:24] <edbian> compitz, You can use history to see every command that's been run though
[22:25] <compitz> damnit :-(
[22:25] <edbian> compitz, But there is no record of all the output
[22:25] <reisio> metaspike: for what
[22:25] <escott> compitz, are you looking for your dmesg logs?
[22:25] <metaspike> for dr_willis to iso his ipod
[22:25] <compitz> hm waht do these do escott?
[22:25] <edbian> compitz, well, it's likely all of that output is not necessary to fix your problem
[22:25] <mellpatr> reisio: i need to run the CA SCM Harvest plugin... but i have only 32-bits version..
[22:25] <mellpatr> =(
[22:26] <mellpatr> from CA..
[22:26] <Pici> CA?
[22:26] <escott> compitz, what are you hoping to get from the console? some things are logged in /var/log/*
[22:26] <reisio> metaspike: jeaton you mean?
[22:26] <reisio> oh I see, nm
[22:26] <reisio> dd would be perfect for that
[22:26] <mellpatr> yes.. the harvest plugin is from Computer Associates..
[22:27] <reisio> assume they're the same size
[22:27] <metaspike> ah your right, jeanton. too much traffic in here to keep track :p
[22:27] <mellpatr> Im lost tree days with this problem.. =/
[22:27] <jeaton> metaspike, yeah, I formatted my ipod shuffle which I shouldn't have
[22:28] <Pici> metaspike: Contact your CA support rep?
[22:28] <jeaton> so I was hoping to obtain a image of one so I can copy it onto mine
[22:28] <metaspike> jeaton, well. you might be able to recover the files with testdisk, and reset the device with itunes.
[22:28] <captainjamie> Where can I find support for glade?
[22:29] <Pici> metaspike: sorry, wrong person.
[22:29] <jeaton> metaspike, my problem is though, I don't have access to itunes since I have no boxes with mac or windows on it
[22:29] <Pici> mellpatr: Can CA support not help with this?
[22:30] <AzoteLogiko> mellpatr, have you tried dpkg –force-architecture -i example32bits.deb   ?
[22:30] <metaspike> compitz, what graphics are you running?  lspci | grep VGA - to find out
[22:30] <compitz> well edbian, escott, its a graphics problem, compiz normal and extra window decoration is not working anymore (correctly), and even in "none" (no anmimation) mode i see stripes in videos when they move fast, or when mozilla reloads. These stripes I think are normal, while resizing a vlc or movieplayer with running video (so you can tell what i mean, maybe you see them also)... What i tried to find,  edbian, escott, was sth. what i di
[22:30] <mellpatr> Pici, Unfortunately no
[22:30] <jeaton> i mean, I'm sure I can take it to a friends house and do it off their computer, i was kinda hoping to not go down that route
[22:30] <negueba> hey guys, how can i remove a program and all its dependences?
[22:31] <edbian> compitz, what graphics card do you have?
[22:31] <jeaton> sudo apt-get purge
[22:31] <AzoteLogiko> apt-get purge program
[22:31] <metaspike> dpkg -r <program>  :)
[22:31] <edbian> negueba, you can use deborphan to find packages that were installed as dependencies but are no longer needed
[22:31] <metaspike> lol nah, just use apt-get
[22:31] <mellpatr> hummm.. no, AzoteLogiko.. the libraries have in a distributed folder in the harvest installation
[22:32] <mellpatr> this is not installable...
[22:32] <AzoteLogiko> mmm :(
[22:32] <mellpatr> I have the libssl into /usr/lib32 with another version..
[22:33] <negueba> edbian thanks man
[22:33] <mellpatr> but the stupid plugin dont understand..
[22:33] <edbian> negueba, sure
[22:33] <edbian> compitz, ?
[22:33] <metaspike> mellpatr, how many bits is your system
[22:33] <mellpatr> ill try to link the files from lib32 to folder required from plugin, AzoteLogiko..
[22:34] <metaspike> 64 right?
[22:34] <piotrj80> hey
[22:34] <mellpatr> 64 bits metaspike
[22:34] <compitz>  edbian, escott, metaspike .... i cant find more in log or synaptic history. I already tried reinsatlling standard n96 nvidia driver, with and w/o restart. some blogs said i was suppossed to reinstall compiz/compiz-gnome. didnt have an effect. im running 10.4 lucid with an old nvidia geforce 4 mx 440, NVIDIA Driver Version 96.43.17
[22:34] <edbian> compitz, let's try the open source driver.   sounds good?
[22:35] <compitz> sry, 96.43
[22:35] <compitz> edbian, escott, metaspik sry was typing long description
[22:35] <edbian> compitz, sure :)
 absolutely
[22:36] <compitz> well i remeber i tried that out once in 9.04. 10.4 didnt have any problems, anything was perfectly fine, edbian, escott, metaspike, until i updated once from bad source, SAUCE
[22:36] <edbian> negueba, ?
 thanks
[22:36] <edbian> compitz, wanna try the open source driver?
[22:36] <compitz> well i guess i can try once more
[22:36] <edbian> negueba, sure! :)
[22:37] <metaspike> mellpatr, https://support.ca.com/phpdocs/0/255/harvesteclipse/doc/12.0/CA_SCM_Plugin_Eclipse_RelNotes_ENU.pdf  - googles crawler found something about it here... something about sun-jre workarounds? dunno.
[22:37] <compitz> edbian, escott, metaspike, open source is worth a try maybe its better then
[22:37] <edbian> compitz, right now you're trying the one of the closed source drivers. Can you pastebin for me the output of sudo lspci -k ?  paste.ubuntu.com
[22:37] <edbian> compitz, then try this: sudo apt-get install sserver-xorg-video-nouveau
[22:38] <mellpatr> thanks metaspike... the java is ia32-java6-sun packages..
[22:38] <edbian> compitz, oops, I made a typo: the command is.  sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
[22:38] <compitz> sudo apt-get install sserver-xorg-video-nouveau, couldnt find package, running lucid distro...
[22:38] <edbian> compitz, I just said, I made a typo
[22:39] <edbian> compitz, sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-nouveau is the correct command
[22:39] <d1g1ta1> how do you grant the samba linux group "users" permissions equal to authenticated users = FC?
[22:39] <edbian> compitz, also, where's my pastebin?
[22:39] <metaspike> compitz, unless you let us know what your running like I asked earlier ala. lspci | grep VGA - i cant really help u :p
[22:39] <edbian> metaspike, He did mention his card
[22:39] <edbian> metaspike, old nvidia geforce 4 mx 440, NVIDIA Driver Version 96.43.17
[22:40] <compitz> xserver-xorg-video-nouveau is already the newest version. edbian, escott, metaspike
[22:40] <compitz> am i running open source by accident? ,edbian, escott, metaspike
[22:40] <edbian> compitz, can you show me the output of sudo lspci -k   ?  put it here: paste.ubuntu.com
[22:40] <edbian> compitz, you have open source installed, I'm not sure if it's running.  pastebin that command and I'll let you know what is happening
[22:40] <mellpatr> ahh.. i read this pdf before metaspike... dont have help with 64-bits system...

[22:41] <edbian> compitz,  reading...
[22:41] <escott> compitz, afraid i don't know much about nvidia. can you take my name out of your responses
[22:41] <metaspike> compriz, very good. try this:  sudo apt-get install nvidia-96  - or better yet  sudo aptitude install nvidia-96  <if you have it>
[22:42] <metaspike> compitz, ^
[22:42] <edbian> compitz, open a terminal, run sudo lspci -k   copy and paste the output onto this website: paste.ubuntu.com  click paste, give me the link to the page it goes too

[22:42] <edbian> compitz, allright :)
[22:43] <compitz> thx edbian
[22:43] <edbian> compitz, nouveau is installed but you're using 'nvidia' which is the closed source one
[22:43] <negueba> edbian am i doing it right now?
[22:43] <edbian>  negueba yes
[22:43] <edbian> compitz, (they're both installed)
[22:44] <negueba> edbian thanks so
[22:44] <compitz> maybe this duality is the abnormality cause the problem, edbian, escott, metaspike
[22:44] <metaspike> yeah... Kernel modules: nvidia-96, nvidiafb, rivafb, nouveau .... eh,  nvidia-96 -and- nouveau?
[22:45] <pe-mo> Hey folks, I need help please
[22:45] <pe-mo> :D
[22:45] <compitz> maybe then remove the open source, man this must have installed itsself out of the blue with this damn ppa,. remove?
[22:45] <owenll> !ask | pe-mo
[22:46] <compitz> sudo apt-get remove xserver-xorg-video-nouveau? edbian, escott, metaspike?
[22:46] <metaspike> compitz - well its your own fault for using ppa's to handle system components. yes. remove one or the other and remove the ppa as well.
[22:46] <atengesda> !patience
[22:46] <metaspike> tsk tsk :)
[22:46] <compitz> edbian, escott, metaspike, already removed bad ppa
[22:47] <mellpatr> metaspike, AzoteLogiko, Pici: i put the path on LD_LIBRARY_PATH at my eclipse startup script and its work
[22:47] <metaspike> compitz, go aptitude?
[22:47] <compitz> edbian, escott, metaspike, ihva elearned sth. that day:)
[22:47] <compitz> yepp, edbian, escott, metaspike
[22:47] <Lyon> Hey
[22:47] <pe-mo> Found someone in ubuntu-de thanks ^
[22:47] <compitz> hey Lyon
[22:47] <Lyon> Anyone available to help with some screen resolution issues?
[22:47] <metaspike> compitz, sudo aptitude dist-upgrade  ... should remove the cruft form the ppa then?
[22:48] <Lyon> hey compitz
[22:48] <metaspike> Lyon, i use xrandr to switch resolutions. whats wrong?
[22:48] <compitz> well, edbian, escott, metaspike, i dont want to use newer than 10.4, dont like 'em
[22:48] <compitz> edbian, escott, metaspike, ppa is already remove from config
[22:48] <barracuda> negueba test
[22:48] <Crusader1D> :)
[22:48] <Lyon> I need to increased the resolution on my ubuntu server
[22:48] <MonkeyDust> compitz  10.04 won't be supported for much longer
[22:49] <metaspike> compitz... we heard u the first time v_v  - sudo aptitude full-upgrade does what?
[22:49] <Crusader1D> Anyone using Xubuntu here?
[22:49] <Lyon> I have uncommented GRUB_GFXMODE=1440x900 but it's still not taking it?
[22:49] <compitz> edbian, escott, metaspike, mONKEYdUST, ubunut 11.10 will be supp. for the same time 10.4 is...
[22:49] <metaspike> Lyon, do you see your desired resolution with -xrandr- in terminal?
[22:49] <smw> !anyone | Crusader1D
[22:50] <compitz> sudo aptitude full-upgrade does what? why, metaspike?
[22:50] <Lyon> metaspike: when i type that in, it comes back with command not found
[22:50] <negueba> Crusader1D what's the matter?
[22:50] <edbian> compitz, I'm back
[22:51] <metaspike> lol okok.. IF you have aptitude, compitz, it should remove out of repo packages. fixin your messy situation.
[22:51] <escott> Lyon, why do you want a higher resolution for you ttys?
[22:51] <compitz> edbian, escott, metaspike, im gonna try remove open source driver, hold on
[22:51] <Lyon> escott: ttys?
[22:51] <edbian> compitz, that won't make a difference
[22:51] <Lyon> what's that?*
[22:52] <edbian> compitz, it's installed, you're not using it, if you uninstall it you still won't be using it
[22:52] <compitz> hmm, its worth a try , isnt it edbian?
[22:52] <edbian> compitz, I do not think so
[22:52] <Crusader1D> xfce-look.org seems to be down all the time lately... it has all kinds of themes for Xubuntu, anyone know why or know of an alternative?
[22:52] <escott> Lyon, why don't you just use ssh from a gui system instead of trying to use the tty on the server
[22:52] <metaspike> Lyon, xrandr is a part of x11-xserver-utils - or maybe try lxrandr if it's in the repo
[22:52] <compitz> hm
[22:52] <wilson_> join ##igenous
[22:52] <edbian> compitz, I think you should try to remove the proprietary driver, then you'll be using the open source driver and you can see if it is working better
[22:53] <compitz> everythiong i can do for now, sudo apt-get remove xserver-xorg-video-nouveau, edbian, escott, metaspike
[22:53] <escott> metaspike, he doesnt have xrandr because he isnt running X this is a guiless server evidently
[22:53] <metaspike> haha oh
[22:53] <edbian> compitz, no, don't do that, that removes the open source driver
[22:53] <edbian> compitz, sudo apt-get purge nvidia-96
[22:54] <compitz> edbian , thats also worth a try, i tried it withou the n96nvidia driver, bfore, thogh
[22:54] <Gentoo64> Lyon, what video card is it btw?
[22:54] <Gentoo64> nvidia?
[22:54] <edbian> compitz, try it again for my sake?
[22:54] <Lyon> Gentoo64: it's in vmware fusion
[22:54] <compitz> compitz, sudo purge nvidia-96? edbian?
[22:55] <callaghan> Hi again, why can't I create an EFI boot partition under 11.10 32bit but under 11.10 64bit it works? It is not avalaible in the "use as" dropdown list...
[22:55] <Gentoo64> Lyon, not sure then, if you've tried manually editing the res then not much else afaik you can do
[22:55] <edbian> compitz, are you kidding?  I'm not typing it again, it's like 10 lines up
[22:55] <Lyon> Gentoo64: okay thank you :)
[22:55] <compitz> why apt-get? ihave it installed
[22:55] <escott> Lyon, you need to install whatever the vmware guest stuff is, but why not run it "headless" and ssh into. if its just a server you dont need the display
[22:55] <metaspike> Lyon, in that case. terminal resolution is determined by the kernel. you can use vga=795 (for instance) as a kernel switch in ie grub, and probably use a kernel which supports your <in this case, emulated> video card with a console framebuffer.
[22:55] <Pickleface> how do I get the latest drivers for my graphic card?
[22:55] <compitz> i got purge installed, edbian
[22:55] <dr_willis> Pickleface:  depends on the card.
[22:55] <edbian> compitz, to uninstall a package you run : sudo apt-get purge <package>
[22:55] <Lyon> escott: that's what i plan to do instead
[22:56] <Lyon> metaspike: thank you for your help!
[22:56] <Lyon> :)
[22:56] <Lyon> Thanks guys!
[22:56] <metaspike> np
[22:56] <compitz> hm ok, edbian , thx, that why i couldnt purde these out
[22:56] <edbian> compitz, ummm, sure....

[22:58] <compitz> edbian, escott, metaspike, everything else went well i guess
[22:58] <metaspike> callaghan, if you - apt-cache search efi - and look at some of the packages. efilinux, grub-efi ... the installer probably requires one of them, and im guessing that package was dropped in 11.04 <probably some bug>
[22:58] <edbian> compitz, it was removed?

[22:59] <edbian> compitz, restart
[22:59] <metaspike> compitz, just warnings. after process is complete, reboot. welcome to libre graphics land xD
[22:59] <edbian> compitz, remove those folders if you want:  sudo rm -r /usr/lib/nvidia-96/
[23:00] <callaghan> metaspike: it's 11.10 in both cases, the 32bit version does not show it, the 64bit version does... kinda strange. Anyhow, I will try to install the packages you suggested and see if it works, thank you
[23:00] <compitz> edbian, escott, metaspike compiz, i mean normal or extra window decoration dont work for now, ill be back after reboot
[23:00] <metaspike> callaghan, fyi im only guessing. good luck >_<
[23:00] <edbian> compitz, yes, they may work after a reboot
[23:00] <compitz> ok, edbain
[23:00] <Mandi> boa noite
[23:01] <compitz> edbian, im removing then rebooting, thx
[23:01] <edbian> compitz, sure
[23:02] <jonhy> hi
[23:02] <Pickleface> dr_willis: sorry got d/c'd
[23:03] <Pickleface> dr_willis:  what was the last thing u said?
[23:03] <JWColeman> I have a dell mini-1010 and I've been trying to get my mic to work for quite some time, I'm using alsamixer on lubuntu, my sound card is alc269 and lubuntu recognizes it, my sound works fine, I've checked my mixer settings twice, not sure what to do
[23:05] <gry> I just removed gdm and installed lightdm. Is http://pastebin.mozilla.org/1424370 normal?
[23:05] <metaspike> JWColeman, in alsamixer, did you try <tab> select a capture interface then activate it with <enter> ? maybe install and try alsamixergui instead
[23:06] <Um_cara_qualquer> hellow ^^... how can I permanently insert subtitles in a movie?
[23:06] <[deXter]> hi all, I have a laptop with an nVidia card running the open drivers. Connected an external monitor to it, and it works. Any ideas how to turn off the laptop monitor and drive only the external one?
[23:06] <JWColeman> metaspike, I did go to the capture tab (with f4 i think) but I wasn't aware of activating anything, i made sure all my levels were up anyways, let me grab my mini and check this
[23:07] <metaspike> gry, it just looks like some leftover remote gdm login stuff, it shouldnt cause any problems.
[23:07] <Stormx2> hey. using the ubuntu classic desktop. There's no volume control in my panels, and gnome-volume-control-applet seems to have been removed from the repositories. I need it in order to make my keyboard volume keys work. Any suggestions?
[23:07] <gry> metaspike: where can I see that it would actually try to start lightdm? I thought it should be in these files but it's not
[23:07] <metaspike> JWColeman, it's a bit funky, you need to select a capture device for a channel then activate that channel.
[23:07] <clear`> with the latest ubuntu 11.10 updates, anyone else notice their fonts changed?
[23:08] <clear`> my fonts look fuzzy now
[23:08] <metaspike> gry, to select bootup entries i use rcconf
[23:08] <str3l0k> hi guys i've just set a new resolution, but everytime i restart it disappears
[23:09] <str3l0k> it goes back to the previous resolution, so how can i make it permanent?
[23:09] <metaspike> clear`, if its a compiz thing you can configure font antialaising with ccsm
[23:09] <[deXter]> hi guys i've just set a new resolution, but it's out of range. How do I restore it? Isn't there like a 15 second timer or something?
[23:09] <urlin2u> str3l0k, what desktop?
[23:09] <JWColeman> metaspike: perhaps that is what's wrong,  I've also messed with the alsa-base.conf to be set to the basic model, how can I be sure this is correct, seeing as there is no listing for my model in alsa-configuration.conf
[23:10] <str3l0k> dexter restart your computer
[23:10] <str3l0k> xubntu urlin2u
[23:11] <clear`> metaspike: not compiz
[23:11] <metaspike> JWColeman, to begin with I would trust in the default settings. prehaps sudo aptitude --purge reinstall alsa-base to get the defaults back.
[23:11] <clear`> i think its a gnome-shell update
[23:11] <escott> [deXter], if you used the gui it should revert after a few seconds
[23:11] <str3l0k> yeah yeah but what about me
[23:11] <[deXter]> escott: I used the GUI, I changed the resolution, clicked on apply.. waited 15 secs but it didnt revert
[23:11] <[deXter]> str3l0k: yep, restarted and it works now thanks
[23:12] <metaspike> str3l0k, lol what?! lol.. you could jimmy a xrandr -s <number>   into .xsession, but its not really ideal.
[23:12] <str3l0k> dexter now we need to figure out how to make it permanent
[23:12] <JWColeman> metaspike: I know exactly what I changed, so it will be easy to reset to the default settings, I'll make sure I do that before I trust the gentoo wiki for the mini 1010, is it a possibility that my issue is skype, and not actually a ubuntu issue?
[23:13] <JWColeman> metaspike: and if so how can I test my mic without using an application like skype?
[23:13] <Um_cara_qualquer> does anybody knows how can I permanently insert subtitles in movies?
[23:13] <str3l0k> Metaspike you mean debian.com_paste?
[23:13] <metaspike> JWColeman, umm... you could try recording something with aucadity, sox, mhwaveedit or any other thing
[23:14] <dr_willis> Um_cara_qualquer:  ffmpeg, or mencoder can do that
[23:15] <Um_cara_qualquer> dr_willis, thx x) but I'm not that expert yet... can u tell me the entire code to do that?
[23:16] <dr_willis> Um_cara_qualquer:  nope.. i know its mentioned in the ffmpeg, and mencoder faq's if i rember correctly
[23:16] <VCoolio> Um_cara_qualquer: use avidemux if you like gui
[23:16] <JWColeman> metaspike: I'll give this thing another go after dinner, thanks for the tips
[23:16] <Um_cara_qualquer> VCoolio, thx
[23:17] <AzoteLogiko> Um_cara_qualquer, also search for "gnome-subtitles"
[23:17] <AzoteLogiko> in the software center
[23:17] <Um_cara_qualquer> hmm ok
[23:18] <Stepnjump> Hi, in Windows, my mouse had a cool feature. I could hold on the left button for a few seconds and then I could move a file without having to keep holding down the mouse button. Whenever i was over a folder, I could just click once and the file would move. Anyone know if there is a way to do this in Ubuntu please?
[23:18] <Stormx2> Volume keys in GNOME 2 no longer work. What should I do?
[23:19] <metaspike> ze mouse in the house has louse and will not do as I tell it! yaaaaaah!
[23:19] <meerkats> what is swap?
[23:19] <dr_willis> !swap
[23:21] <gry> metaspike: I rebooted, no display manager started at all. I tried to start it manually using a tty but it kept starting itself while something kept killing it, so I just rebooted and used tty to install gdm again.  What can you suggest to actually switch to lightdm successfully?
[23:22] <dr_willis> 'somthing kept killing it' would most likely be 'it kept crashing'
[23:22] <metaspike> gry, I cant really. I use xdm for features and slim for lightweight setups.
[23:22] <gry> Probably.
[23:22] <[deXter]> Stepnjump: Try looking in the accessibility settings, sticky mouse keys or something like that
[23:22] <Stepnjump> thanks deXter
[23:23] <gry> metaspike: In your case, how do you "switch to xdm successfully" other than apt-get install it?
[23:24] <metaspike> install it and remove the old one (which aptitude usually handles anyway) and ensure it is booting at start with rcconf.

[23:24] <zaxonspox> hello, how to enable sis900 integrated NIC in Ubuntu Natty
[23:25] <metaspike> zaxonspox,   sudo apt-get install sis
[23:26] <metaspike> check with ifconfig..
[23:26] <metaspike> *yawn* time for another coffee
[23:26] <dr_willis> !info sis
[23:27] <dr_willis> with 'sis' brand video cards.. you are often lucky you can even get to a basic desktop..
[23:27] <dr_willis> sis is rather poor in its linux support. ;(
[23:28] <zaxonspox> metaspike will it be on cd/dvd or do i need NIC to install?
[23:28] <metaspike> im afraid dr_willis has a point. umm...
[23:29] <atengesda> exit
[23:29] <atengesda> quit
[23:29] <Pickleface> hello
[23:29] <dr_willis> SiS is one of those companies you would not be suprised to hear it shut down... ;()
[23:29] <g0to> hello!
[23:30] <Pickleface> I have a GT 520 graphics card how do I get the drivers for it on ubuntu 10.04
[23:30] <g0to> does anyone knows the name of the login shell font?
[23:30] <zaxonspox> dr_willis, i did have SIS integr. video, i know that pain, but is there something that can be done?
[23:30] <dr_willis> Most nvidia cards. you just use the 'addational drivers' tool and it installs them.
[23:30] <dr_willis> zaxonspox:  check askubuntu, and the forums for your exact chipset/card. and it might have some info
[23:30] <redred> bonjour
[23:31] <Pickleface> dr_willis:  how do I get there ?
[23:31] <zaxonspox> dr_willis, askubuntu is an irc channel? or forum?
[23:32] <metaspike> Pickleface, or install nvidia-current
[23:32] <zaxonspox> metaspike, apt dont know a package named 'sis'
[23:33] <Pickleface> metaspike: erm how ?
[23:33] <dr_willis> !askubuntu
[23:33] <metaspike> sudo apt-get install nvidia-current - in terminal.
[23:34] <metaspike> !nvidia
[23:34] <metaspike> ^ that's probably a better start
[23:36] <Pickleface> wow I have no idea how to use irssi ether
[23:36] <Pickleface> how can I scroll up?Lol
[23:37] <dr_willis> pageup/pagedown
[23:37] <metaspike> zaxonspox, try this: sudo modprobe sis900
[23:37] <Pickleface> thanks
[23:37] <dr_willis> i tend to use weechat these days instead of irssi
[23:37] <metaspike> sudo ifdown eth0
[23:37] <metaspike> sudo ifup eth0
[23:38] <longcat> is there a program which will detect hardware and suggest packages to isntall to support it?
[23:38] <metaspike> unfortunately, that chip is no about as supported as an old win95 installation
[23:38] <dr_willis> longcat:  the addational drivers tool does that
[23:39] <longcat> how do i run it/what is it named
[23:39] <escott> longcat, jockey-gtk
[23:40] <fabio> hi, i need help installing a usb wireless wn727n in ubuntu 11.10
[23:40] <fabio> i do lsusb and i see it is detected
[23:40] <Pickleface> erm, how do I change my screen resolution?
[23:40] <zaxonspox> fabio, you probably need package "wvdial"
[23:41] <fabio> dial? this is a wireless card not modem u sure?
[23:42] <zaxonspox> fabio, right, then i might be wrong
[23:42] <fabio> where can i find some help on this
[23:43] <fabio> reiso: u there?
[23:43] <zaxonspox> metaspike, where could be this file be placed? http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages.gz/natty/man4/sis.4freebsd.gz
[23:43] <zaxonspox> metaspike, from Ubuntu manpage http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/natty/man4/sis.4freebsd.html
[23:44] <metaspike> did u try sudo modprobe sis900
[23:46] <zaxonspox> metaspike, yes, but i did hawe "sis900" entry in lsmod after putting "if_sis_load=YES" but without good result
[23:47] <zaxonspox> metaspike, the device is still "Device unsupported" in Network-Manager
[23:48] <ed5on> boa noite
[23:48] <metaspike> sudo ifconfig eth0 down && sudo ifconfig eth0 down && ping www.google.com
[23:48] <metaspike> *sudo ifconfig eth0 down && sudo ifconfig eth0 up && ping www.google.com
[23:49] <metaspike> if that doesnt work... meh, dunno.
[23:49] <PureRumble> Hi all. In latest ubuntu, how do I change number of desktops?
[23:50] <FrozenInferno> Can someone tell me how to edit visudo so <user> can run sudo commands with no password?
[23:50] <clear`> PureRumble: settings // workspaces
[23:51] <OerHeks> sudo with no password, that is not safe.
[23:51] <robodoggy> Hey guys! can i install a program to a USB stick using apt-get?
[23:51] <PureRumble> clear`, See no "settings" in this latest layout. Just some bar to the left that pops out on mouse hover
[23:52] <FrozenInferno> Or, at least use sudo in a specific directory with no password.
[23:52] <dr_willis> robodoggy:  not really
[23:52] <clear`> pure, in the bar search for settings
[23:52] <clear`> your using unity?
[23:52] <wilhart> eya, where do i see ubuntu graphic card memorys
[23:52] <escott> robodoggy, thats not possible
[23:52] <longcat> is there a package required to support sandy bridge integrated graphics in 3d mode?
[23:52] <opticlove> is there a way to copy the complete system configuration to another hard drive?
[23:52] <wilhart> no way ??
[23:52] <PureRumble> clear`, I've done that. I find "system settings". No luck there
[23:52] <dr_willis> FrozenInferno:  edit the sudoers file with an entry for the way you want it to go. its documented in differnt places
[23:52] <dr_willis> !sudoers
[23:52] <escott> longcat, should work out of the box with 11.10
[23:52] <PureRumble> I use ubuntu 11.10 by the way
[23:52] <dr_willis> !sudo
[23:54] <owenll> PureRumble: compizconfig-settings-manager under general options
[23:54] <wilhart> hi, where do i see graphic card memory ?
[23:54] <Omer_> System monitor?
[23:54] <FrozenInferno> dr_willis Ok, i see how to remove the password requirement, but if that's considered unsafe, is there a way to remove it for a specific directory?
[23:55] <wilhart> Omer_: nothign called system moniroti here
[23:55] <LogicallyDashing> I'm on x64 and I need to compile something for armel. What do I have to do?
[23:55] <Omer_> Applications->System Tools->System monitor?
[23:55] <PureRumble> owenll, aaaaaaaaah. Thank you so much :)
[23:56] <Omer_> wilhart, have you tried entering the command: lspci into terminal?
[23:56] <clear`> i hate unity
[23:56] <wilhart> Omer_: yea i have
[23:56] <Omer_> lspci -v -s 00:02.0
[23:56] <owenll> PureRumble: :)
[23:56] <longcat> is there a way to use a dvdram in CAV mode isntead of CLV?  this spinning up and down is driving me insane
[23:57] <ivan__> hi
[23:57] <PureRumble> owenll, I need 9 desktops (!), so used to it. This has been driving me crazy
[23:57] <wilhart> 00:56 < ussher__> wilhart: do you have 'kinfocenter' under your 'systems' menu
[23:57] <Omer_> wilhart try grep -i --color memory /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[23:57] <wilhart> oops sory
[23:57] <wilhart> Omer_: i'm using virtualbox
[23:57] <clear`> PureRumble: i dont know how to do it on unity, on gnome-shell you just go into settings // workspaces
[23:58] <owenll> PureRumble: If ccsm isn't installed use sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
[23:58] <PureRumble> owenll, no its cool I've already got that covered
[23:58] <PureRumble> owenll, Just couldnt find the damn thing in compiz settings!
[23:58] <ivan__> hi, can someone read me?
[23:58] <milo_> Sup. Hey guys, trying to kill the processes keeping me from unmounting my harddrive so I can partition it to dual boot windows. Any ideas?
[23:58] <Omer_> killall <processname>
[23:58] <milo_> Ivan, I read you. 10-4 buddy.
[23:59] <Omer_> Or go to System Monitor and cancel it manually
[23:59] <LogicallyDashing> milo_: to find the processes those are use lsof
[23:59] <Melissa> i want to run W7 for an online game I have and run Ubuntu for evertythiung else.  Whatrs best way to install?  W7 first or install Ubuntu first?  and can I run W732bit and Ubuntu 64bit on the same laptop?
[23:59] <yumbo> Melissa, which game?
[23:59] <milo_> Yeah, I typed lsof in. Still reading through it. So I just kill the processes off one by one? Or I can kill the processes accociated all at onece?
[23:59] <Melissa> yumbo: battlefield 2142
[23:59] <vsync_> 10 bucks says wow
