[00:00] <konradb> ActionParsnip: /etc/rc.d/rc.sshd restart?
[00:01] <konradb> but i dont have /etc/rc.d/ lolz, i have only rc0-6 and rcS.d
[00:01] <ActionParsnip> konradb: sudo service ssh stop; sudo service ssh start
[00:02] <konradb> hm
[00:02] <konradb> it will be hard to do on vps :DDD
[00:03] <aperson> hello.  I just migrated to some new hardware (i5, nvidia gpu, etc) and I now find that I can only boot when I select recovery mode and then hit resume.  Ubuntu will not start otherwise.  Any ideas?
[00:03] <ActionParsnip> konradb: the commands will run fine, there is enough redundancy to keep the link up
[00:03] <konradb> i made service ssh restart
[00:03] <ActionParsnip> konradb: remember the old connections around when SSH was being made
[00:03] <konradb> thanks for help :)
[00:03] <ActionParsnip> konradb: all ok now?
[00:03] <konradb> yes
[00:03] <ActionParsnip> konradb: you MUST restart ANY service after editting the confoig
[00:04] <konradb> :P
[00:04] <ActionParsnip> konradb: this makes it reread the file, changing it and not restarting doesn't change the running service on the fly
[00:04] <konradb> ouch, small question more, how can i use bash "clear" in motd?
[00:04] <konradb> is it possible?
[00:05] <konradb> by /etc/modtd
[00:05] <konradb> motd*
[00:05] <ActionParsnip> konradb: do you want motd to show at all?
[00:06] <konradb> i want to clear console after connection
[00:06] <konradb> U know, connect konradb@host.com etc etc etc
[00:06] <konradb> then clear and motd
[00:07] <ActionParsnip> konradb: you could add the clear command to the bottom of ~/.bashrc
[00:07] <kszksz> hello. 11.10 - dealing with network card rtl8139 for half day, cant get it work -8139too and 8139cp are loaded, tried rmmod for 8139cp, deleting file from  /lib/modules/kernel 3/kernel/drivers/net/, but still both modules are loaded and card is not working, any tips?
[00:08] <konradb> ActionParsnip: hm, good idea :D
[00:08] <konradb> where is bash configuration file  for all users?
[00:09] <puff> I'm trying to install skype via folowing https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype
[00:10] <LinoSP> I have a Toshiba Satellite 1555CDS and a DWL-G650+ wifi (which is a pita) I cannot install any lubuntu version newer than 10.04 because of cmov boot fail and DWL-G650+ doesn't work with 10.04 any ideas?
[00:10] <kszksz> card worked when i installed it before with ubuntu
[00:10] <BlueProtoman> Anyone here know why Synaptic (Ubuntu 11.04) can't fix this broken package?  I can't install new software until I get this fixed.  http://pastebin.com/RaFii4ts  Here's my list of package sources.  http://pastebin.com/HTReL7zL
[00:10] <JoshManders_> Hi guys, I'm having problem with installing Ubuntu. First time this has ever happened to me.
[00:11] <JoshManders_> I have an HP Pavilion a1630n Media Center, and I'm trying to install Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on it
[00:11] <kszksz> blacklisting wont work either
[00:11] <puff> However, a) after adding the ppa, aptiutde update too forever on extras.ubuntu.com, ended up ctrl-c'ing out of it a couple of times but finally it updated... with some errors:  http://pastebin.com/Bptrxn6s
[00:11] <konradb> BlueProtoman: try sudo apt-get install gimp
[00:11] <puff> b) even after updating with no errors, aptitude can't find a skype package
[00:11] <JoshManders_> It gives a black screen just before it gives the menu for install or run live cd
[00:12] <puff> Doh, looking more closely at the errors, I see it ended up skipping extras.  Well.
[00:12] <BlueProtoman> konradb: No luck.  http://pastebin.com/np5EAUgG
[00:13] <ActionParsnip> JoshManders_: what GPU are you using?
[00:13] <konradb> BlueProtoman: You really have good repository?
[00:13] <puff> Hm, I wonder if the 32 bit version of the skype .deb is worth trying.
[00:13] <ActionParsnip> JoshManders_: thought about using Oneiric too?
[00:13] <JoshManders_> ActionParsnip: nvidia gforce 6150 le
[00:13] <BlueProtoman> konradb: What do you mean?
[00:14] <ActionParsnip> JoshManders_: add the boot optoin:  nouveau.blacklist=1
[00:14] <JoshManders_> ActionParsnip: I have a live cd of 10.04 LTS so I figure I'd upgrade from there
[00:14] <konradb> didn't you add any new repository?
[00:14] <JoshManders_> ActionParsnip: how do I do that? I can't even get anywhere with it
[00:14] <ActionParsnip> JoshManders_: you can update to precise (12.04) in one jump if you want (it prerelease but will get you there quick)
[00:14] <BlueProtoman> konradb: Yes, I posted the list.  http://pastebin.com/HTReL7zL
[00:14] <ActionParsnip> bootoption | JoshManders_
[00:15] <BlueProtoman> I gotta go real soon, so any tips?
[00:15] <JoshManders_> Sec, let me hook my monitor up to the thing and see what I can do.
[00:15] <BlueProtoman> konradb?
[00:15] <kszksz> is this 8139 issue fixable or i need to reinstall ubuntu? :S
[00:16] <m_fulder> how can I remove a kernel module?
[00:16] <konradb> BlueProtoman: im not boss in linux, but i was trying to help by default problems :D. Meaby install from *.deb?
[00:16] <m_fulder> rmmod seems not to work :S
[00:16] <vn> hi, when a directory is created inside another, it usually heritates from its permissions...how can I change those default permissions upon creation of a subdirectory?
[00:17] <BlueProtoman> Well, thanks anyway.
[00:18] <dajhorn> vn: Try the `umask` command.
[00:18] <Yurim> Hi folks! Do you know who starts the gnome-keyring-daemon? I'm wondering where i can switch off the gpg-agent emulation.
[00:18] <JoshManders_> ActionParsnip: do I just add it after quiet splash --?
[00:19] <vn> dajhorn: thanks
[00:19] <dajhorn> vn: Welcome.
[00:20] <Acidcore> is Ubuntu 11.10 using acpi by default?
[00:21] <ActionParsnip> JoshManders_: yes
[00:22] <JoshManders_> Okay, it's at the Ubuntu screen with the dots going red as a progression
[00:22] <ActionParsnip> Acidcore: could also try:  nomodeset   too :)
[00:23] <ActionParsnip> JoshManders_: strange is that I use a 6150LE in my desktop and its faultless
[00:24] <ActionParsnip> JoshManders_: sometimes they just don't like the nouveau driver, the boot option makes the kernel block the driver and the nv driver will be used. You'll need to do the same on the installed OS til you can install the proprietary driver
[00:24] <JoshManders_> ActionParsnip: I found this, thanks > http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9195971&postcount=14
[00:25] <inashdeen_> Hi. Is there a way to have clocks of different time (say 1 is uTC, the other is US times) on my ubuntu desktop?
[00:25] <Acidcore> ActionParsnip: what is the nomodeset for?
[00:25] <vn> dajhorn: is there something such as umask to designate default owner/group?
[00:26] <dajhorn> vn: You can set the group sticky bit on a directory so that group ownership is inherited.
[00:27] <ActionParsnip> Acidcore: it makes the kernel not set video modes and refresh stuff in side the kernel afaik, keeps it outside the kernel. Some GPUs don't like it
[00:27] <vn> dajhorn: in fact I don't want it to be inherited
[00:27] <dajhorn> vn: Can you give an example of what you want?
[00:28] <ActionParsnip> Acidcore: its something like that, the exacts escape me
[00:28] <Acidcore> I think I understand. Although the question now occured why that should be used?
[00:29] <Acidcore> Like in which cases?
[00:29] <ActionParsnip> Acidcore: some GPUs will not show an image as it can cause issues with some, so the boot option is there to tell the kernel to not do it
[00:30] <Acidcore> aah thank you but I don't see what that has to do with ACPI
[00:30] <ActionParsnip> Acidcore: its common for intel GPUs
[00:31] <ActionParsnip> Acidcore: acpi is a different boot option to do with power management
[00:31] <JasonGriffee> How do I make a xRandR mode permanent?
[00:31] <Acidcore> I am using nvidia gefore (gygabite) gtx 480
[00:31] <konradb> how can i change motd to motd.sh?
[00:31] <Acidcore> although my question was if Ubuntu uses ACPI
[00:31] <Acidcore> which if I know right have nothing to do with gpus
[00:32] <amd123> hello, can any1 help me with my code in java, i got date to work as in todays date by using java.util.date and declaring as : licenceRenewal = new Date() which sets todays date but how do i increase the year by 1?
[00:33] <ActionParsnip> Acidcore: yes acpi is default
[00:33] <Acidcore> thank you ActionParsnip
[00:33] <ActionParsnip> amd123: I'd ask in #java
[00:33] <ActionParsnip> Acidcore: sorry for wafflin
[00:33] <Acidcore> aa np
[00:33] <Acidcore> actually ty
[00:33] <Acidcore> i mean it wasn't related but I learned something new :)
[00:36] <vitamin{> is there a particular reason that 10.04 still runs firefox 3.6.24 by default
[00:38] <ActionParsnip> vitamin{: there are ppas for newer ones, which version do you want?
[00:38] <puff> How likely is it that a 32-bit .deb will work on 64-bit ubuntu 11.10?
[00:38] <ActionParsnip> puff: it should work, you will pull in all the deps you need, is there no 64bit deb?
[00:39] <humamiaz> some kind soul to help a nooob?
[00:40] <mongy> JasonGriffee, I found adding all the commands used to .xprofile worked
[00:40] <ActionParsnip> vitamin{: sudo apt-get install python-software-properties; sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
[00:40] <ActionParsnip> vitamin{: will gove you firefox 9 in Lucid
[00:40] <ActionParsnip> humamiaz: ask and see
[00:40] <cozmoo> please for the love of god i need help
[00:41] <humamiaz> help install my ralink usb
[00:41] <vitamin{> ActionParsnip, oh yea I no that. I just wanted to know the reason, just stability?
[00:41] <ActionParsnip> cozmoo: ask away
[00:41] <bazhang> cozmoo, ask a question
[00:41] <cozmoo> man
[00:41] <humamiaz> i need intense help
[00:41] <cozmoo> i am so lost its not even funny
[00:41] <rich> if i diconnect form internet to go to friends, will my downloads resume where they left off
[00:41] <humamiaz> the helper must be paciente
[00:41] <rich> (non torrent downloads)
[00:41] <ActionParsnip> vitamin{: probably, not sure personally. I don't use firefox
[00:41] <cozmoo> first i need to get pptp running on my ubuntu virtual machine
[00:42] <trism> vitamin{: generally stable releases only get security updates, however 9.0.1 is currently in lucid-proposed, so it will probably land in updates soon (it just arrived in oneiric)
[00:42] <vitamin{> ActionParsnip, ah kk well thats for your help, think ill got give FF9 a try
[00:42] <ActionParsnip> rich: if you use a download manager and the server supports resuming then yes
[00:42] <cozmoo> i thought everything was configed properly but i cant connect to it
[00:43] <rich> so if something is downloading through firefox, im geussing thats not a download manager? ActionParsnip_
[00:43] <vitamin{> trism, thanks for the info!
[00:43] <cozmoo> what is localip what is remote ip when setting up a vpn
[00:43] <cozmoo> pptp
[00:44] <cozmoo> can i pm one of you guys for help pleasE?

[00:46] <wajeemba> so I have an interesting hardware situation; my CPU fan doesn't seem to always like to run. It works on Windows, and must have worked during ubuntu-server setup, but the ubuntu desktop live cd and the completed install of ubuntu-server freeze after about 30-60 seconds once booted.
[00:46] <wajeemba> Is there a way I can manually set the fan to always run without doing a hacky "hardware mod"?
[00:46] <Rookie407> can someone pls help? im trying to add java and android sdk to my environmental variables, i have the .bashrc file open but it seems the info ive been given fails to tell you exactly where to input it...
[00:46] <puff> ActionParsnip: I got an odd error when I tried to "dpkg -i" the .deb I manually downloaded.   When I tried to add the partner repo via aptitude, aptitude update choked on updating extras AND on security.  Somebody elsenet suggested using synaptic and letting it pick a better mirror, that seems to work and it found skype i386 so I'm trying that.
[00:47] <cozmoo> damnit
[00:47] <puff> Rookie407: What shell?
[00:47] <ActionParsnip> cozmoo: its not something I've used or know of, or I would have replied
[00:47] <cozmoo> ok well
[00:47] <Rookie407> puff i dont know what you mean by shell =\
[00:47] <cozmoo> general question
[00:47] <cozmoo> localip?
[00:47] <puff> Rookie407: This is really more of a ##java or ##android-dev question, but...
[00:47] <cozmoo> and remoteip?
[00:47] <FloodBot1> cozmoo: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:47] <puff> Rookie407: Ah... okay, well.  Bash is the default shell, I think.
[00:48] <ActionParsnip> Rookie407: you will need to add:   export PATH=$PATH:/extra/path/folder
[00:48] <overclucker> Rookie407: a good place would be the end of bashrc
[00:48] <Katronix> hi all, is there a precompiled section of PHP I can install to include xmlrpc commands? or would I need to compile my own php?
[00:48] <ActionParsnip> Katronix: there may be a ppa
[00:48] <Rookie407> ActionParsnip, overclucker so after the fl then???
[00:48] <puff> Rookie407: In unix type OSes, including linux, you have the kernel and the shell.  The kernel is the heart of the OS and everything that needs to use resources goes through the kernel.  The shell is the program that you run as a user, it interacts with the kernel for you, hence you can think of that program as a shell around the kernel.
[00:49] <puff> Rookie407: I am, of course, oversimplifying :-).
[00:49] <ActionParsnip> Rookie407: no idea, that is how you add folders to your PATH variable
[00:49] <puff> Rookie407: What envrionment are you using to develop?
[00:50] <puff> Rookie407: Also, the shell == command line, it's linux's equivalent to windows CMD.EXE.
[00:50] <puff> Rookie407: or rather, it's what MS-DOS/Windows was copying when they came up with CMD.EXE :-).
[00:50] <Rookie407> puff ah ok
[00:50] <alien2050> Got a question: When I ssh to another machine, from 11.10 to another 11.10, sometimes (not always) the slash character for some reason on my (remote) keyboard is now a question mark.... ne1 knows why
[00:50] <puff> Rookie407: So, answer my question about your development environment.
[00:51] <alien2050> I figure it has to do with locale
[00:51] <Guest36305> hi all
[00:51] <alien2050> but precisely what... not sure
[00:51] <rypervenche> puff: Wow...I just now understood the meaning for the word "shell" thanks to you...haha
[00:51] <puff> Rookie407: When you log into unix/linux, the first thing it does is run a shell for you.  With modern X-windows GUIs, the first that shell does is run a Xwindows session for you.
[00:53] <superlou> so, um, this is embarassing.  I dd'd an image to an SD card via a usb sd card reader/writer, and now ubuntu won't automount the SD card.  Is that normal/fixable?
[00:53] <cozmoo> whats my locla ip?
[00:53] <alien2050> superlou: depends, but should be fixable
[00:54] <cozmoo> local ip
[00:54] <puff> Rookie407: for all of these things, there's a somewhat standard sequence of events for how things happen.  Each linux process has a set of "environment variables" associated with it.  It starts off inheriting the environment variables of the process that started it.  Then when it's a shell process, there are standard files it looks at and runs, and these can in turn set more environment variables.  This is what you are trying to
[00:54] <puff> customize.
[00:54] <Katronix> ActionParsnip cool, I found one :-)
[00:54] <cozmoo> whats my local ip?
[00:54] <alien2050> if its a device that formatted it, try to format it again with the device, for example a digital cam
[00:54] <cozmoo> f
[00:54] <alien2050> cozmoo: try ifconfig -a, search for an ETH string, usually eth0 or eth1
[00:55] <superlou> alien2050, thanks.  It was a USB card reader, not a camera (since i've had trouble doing that in the past)
[00:55] <superlou> alien2050, trying to mount it via that same reader
[00:55] <overclucker> Rookie407: it's probably easiest to just add your environment variables at the end of the bashrc file.
[00:55] <cozmoo> does a virtual machine have the same local ip as its host?
[00:55] <alien2050> superlou: so the SD card will in the end be used only by the usb reader ?
[00:56] <alien2050> if so, then go with fdisk or gparted, it should go fine
[00:56] <coolstar-pc> I'm installing updates, and apt is stuck at system-config-printer-common. Anyone can help?
[00:56] <superlou> alien2050, the goal's for the SD card to be used in a nook e-reader, but for this set of steps, I'm using the PC to set up the image.  The tutorial i was following said that once dd is performed with the image, you should be able to see a set of files on it after mounting, so i assumed they were using something standard like fat32 that ubuntu would automount
[00:56] <puff> I'm seeing super-slow performance from synaptic, it says "10 hours 27 mins 2 s remaining."  How do I tell it to use a different mirror?
[00:57] <alien2050> sometimes, embedded digital devices need to use their own format but that applies to files not format type, i.e. FAT32 usually should be fine
[00:57] <alien2050> but if you only need it as an external device, you can format it however you like
[00:57] <pp7> is there a reason why google-chrome sometimes gives me a big white blank window which cannot be removed unless i restart unity?
[00:57] <alien2050> superlou: not necessarily, sometimes, these tricky devices can create multiple partitions to use
[00:57] <superlou> alien2050, i can see it in the ubuntu Disk Utility so i guess i could just format and try again
[00:57] <puff> b
[00:58] <coolstar-pc> Apt is stuck unpacking system-config-printer-common. Should I kill it?
[00:58] <superlou> alien2050, i would have assumed it would be unreadable in the PC except the instructions said otherwise
[00:58] <alien2050> superlou: yeah.... but it all depends on what format type the device will read
[00:58] <pp7> coolstar-pc: got other disk intensive stuff running?
[00:58] <alien2050> superlou: again it depends what your DD image is
[00:59] <superlou> alien2050, yeah
[00:59] <coolstar-pc> pp7: I only am running firefox and the Software Updates
[00:59] <pp7> coolstar-pc: kill it
[00:59] <superlou> alien2050, Oh wow.  I'm an idiot.  I just imaged a gzipped file onto the sdcard
[00:59] <alien2050> you are DDing a file, but what is the format of that file? iso?
[00:59] <superlou> alien2050, should've probably unzipped first
[00:59] <superlou> alien2050, i'm an idiot
[00:59] <alien2050> hehehe no prob, try again with unzip, should be fine
[01:00] <alien2050> whats the format of the file inside?
[01:00] <superlou> alien2050, .img file.  makes more sense
[01:00] <xcyclist> Looking for place to set my login screen graphic
[01:01] <mueddib> hello all
[01:01] <alien2050> yep
[01:02] <coolstar-pc> I killed it and ran sudo apt-get -f install
[01:03] <coolstar-pc> should I be good now?
[01:03] <iceroot> coolstar-pc: any output on "dpkg -l | grep -v ^ii | grep -v ^rc"?
[01:04] <coolstar-pc> iceroot: I'm still running apt-get -f install. I guess I have to wait for it to finish before I run dpkg
[01:05] <iceroot> coolstar-pc: yes

[01:11] <DoctorD> @ubuntu_fanatic - right click -> change desktop background -> visual effects
[01:11] <cozmoo> i cant connect to the vpn
[01:11] <coolstar-pc> iceroot: http://paste.ubuntu.com/795551/
[01:12] <cozmoo> the local ip of the vmware shows to be 192.168.184.132 how is this possible when my router onyl lets me forward ports to ranges 192.168.1.xxx
[01:12] <iceroot> cozmoo: everything fine then
[01:12] <iceroot> cozmoo: put your details on line please
[01:12] <cozmoo> host is 192.168.1.104
[01:12] <synrat> hi. does anyone know how to send f8 ( safe mode )  key to virt-manager guest  ?  I have a guest 2003 server on 10.04 LTS, which won't boot, but I can't even try to fix it, because the boot sequence is too fast and no f8 key doesn't catch it in time.
[01:12] <Gerald> hi...when i install: sudo apt-get install libqt4-dev ...which qt version will be installed?
[01:12] <iceroot> coolstar-pc: everything fine then
[01:12] <iceroot> Gerald: apt-cache show libqt4-dev
[01:12] <Gerald> ok
[01:13] <cozmoo> well any suggestions?
[01:13] <pangolin> cozmoo: all I can say is to check this out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VPN
[01:13] <SVNDR> Is my USB drive supposed to be mounting and unmounting while im installing Ubuntu? By installing i mean after i burn the files to my USB using Universal USB, i restart my laptop and it boots into Ubuntu setup, but as it is setting up/installing my USB drive mounts and unmounts? Any Ideas?
[01:14] <Gerald> Version: 4:4.7.4-0ubuntu8
[01:14] <MonkeyDust> cozmoo  kust in idea: in vbox, the network type must be set to 'bridged', in order to obtain an IP in the same same network range
[01:14] <MonkeyDust> just*
[01:14] <cozmoo> im just vmware
[01:14] <MonkeyDust> cozmoo  it may be similar
[01:14] <alien2050> "how is this possible when my router onyl lets me forward ports to ranges 192.168.1.xxx"
[01:15] <alien2050> A lot of consumer routers are blocked on a specific C class domain
[01:15] <coolstar-pc> cozmoo: it's possible because of NAT
[01:15] <alien2050> coolstar-pc: you beat me to it :)
[01:15] <MonkeyDust> coolstar-pc  that's what i mean
[01:15] <Oer> alien2050, did you read the omments with the solutions to the mistakes in that howto ?
[01:15] <cozmoo> i need to forwatrd traffic to my virtual machine for vpn, so should i forward it to my host pc or str8 to my virtual machine?
[01:16]  * coolstar-pc just got his firefox updated, and needs to restart it.
[01:16] <alien2050> Oer: I was quoting our friend here
[01:16] <cozmoo> i need to forwatrd traffic to my virtual machine for vpn, so should i forward it to my host pc or str8 to my virtual machine?
[01:17] <Oer> alien2050, sorry, reply was for cozmoo indeed
[01:17] <alien2050> cozmoo: I think what you need to do (it works fine usually) is create a bridged network
[01:17] <cozmoo> its in settings set to NAT
[01:17] <cozmoo> change it?
[01:18] <coolstar-pc> alien2050: Anything happened when I was gone?
[01:18] <alien2050> yeah, if you bridge your VM instead of natting
[01:18] <MonkeyDust> cozmoo  to bridged, if possible
[01:18] <cozmoo> "replicate physical network connection state"   should i check this or leave it unchecked?
[01:18] <MonkeyDust> like i said a few lines earlier :p
[01:18] <coolstar-pc> cozmoo: Check it
[01:18] <cozmoo> ok
[01:19] <hydruid> are most of you running unity or gnome-shell ?
[01:19] <alien2050> MonkeyDust: yeah I didnt see you there but thats right
[01:19] <cozmoo> ok i think that changed my local ip
[01:19] <coolstar-pc> cozmoo: Unless you want to be able to host a private network between windows and ubuntu when wifi is off, or ethernet is disconnected
[01:19] <cozmoo> not sure what that means but i dont think so
[01:19] <coolstar-pc> hydruid: Neither
[01:19] <coolstar-pc> hydruid: I'm using KDE
[01:19] <hydruid> coolstar-pc: what are you running
[01:19] <hydruid> yuck
[01:20] <hydruid> i haven't been able to find an environment that I like
[01:20] <coolstar-pc> hydruid: I'll probably use Unity when it's fixed up to run properly. I used to use it, but then hated it.
[01:20] <puff> I had synaptic choose the best mirror and did reload and it's failing to update a bunch of stuff.
[01:20] <wajeemba> hmm, I tweaked BIOS settings to make the fan run constantly, but the system still freezes. Any idea what's causing this to happen on Ubuntu and Crux, but not Microcore or Windows?
[01:20] <alien2050> bridge is the way to go definitely, but be advised that youll need to set up a new IP for that VM, dont set the same IP as your host machine
[01:20] <cozmoo> so now my router can send traffic str8 to the vm, bypassing the host?
[01:20] <puff> And it's taking forever, trying.
[01:20] <hydruid> coolstar-pc: i hated it initially too, however the way that maximized windows integrate into the top panel is awesome......but it doesn't out weight all the other annoyances
[01:20] <coolstar-pc> hydruid: The way Unity multitasks..........It's not as productive as KDE, Xfce, Gnome 2, or even Windoze
[01:20] <ActionParsnip> puff: can you give a pastebin of the output of:  sudo apt-get update
[01:21] <longcat> video card...hard drive (bad sectors)
[01:21] <puff> ActionParsnip: Sure, I'll have to cancel synaptic's update though.
[01:21] <ActionParsnip> puff: let it finish, then we can continue
[01:21] <SVNDR> Is my USB drive supposed to be mounting and unmounting while im installing Ubuntu? By installing i mean after i burn the files to my USB using Universal USB, i restart my laptop and it boots into Ubuntu setup, but as it is setting up/installing my USB drive mounts and unmounts constantly? Any Ideas?
[01:21] <alien2050> cozmoo: actually the driver now allows traffic to be passed directly to the ethernet layer, so the VM is hooked to your NIC, as is your host
[01:21] <kszksz> how can i initialize automatic network configuration similiar to that from installer? or exact?
[01:21] <puff> ActionParsnip: waiting for aptitude to finish now...
[01:21] <cozmoo> ok ty
[01:22] <alien2050> is it working?
[01:22] <hydruid> coolstar-pc: i agree, and i'm in IT so I always have a lot of stuff open
[01:22] <Akiyama-san> hello, i've recently update my shell to 3.3.3 through ricotz/testing ppa. After the system reboot, i've noticed there's no more space between the icons on my top bar, they're all together, almost one over another, like in this screenshot: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10354702/Sem%20t%C3%ADtulo.jpg.  Is there a way to fix it? If no, how can I downgrade to 3.3.2 (where i didnt have this problem)? Could someone help me, please.
[01:22] <wajeemba> longcat: could they really make a difference? I have the feeling it's not the hard drive, because it happens on Ubuntu Desktop liveCD's too
[01:23] <hydruid> coolstar-pc: I work on a laptop and want the screen real estate, just can't find an environment that fits my needs
[01:23] <coolstar-pc> hydruid: I talked to someone who claimed to work at canoical. I told him about the problems I am having, and my hardware. He said he'd pass it on to the others.
[01:23] <longcat> wajeemba: ah, nice deduction of variables there.
[01:23] <wajeemba> longcat: should I try swapping the video card?
[01:24] <hydruid> wajeemba: sounds like your video card is over heating
[01:24] <longcat> it might also be a bug related to compiz or something
[01:24] <longcat> im not sure how, but try using a non-compositioning wm or whatever
[01:25] <wajeemba> I did notice it was running hot- but why would it be ok on windows and not ubuntu?
[01:25] <wajeemba> different drivers?
[01:25] <cozmoo> damn still not luck
[01:25] <ActionParsnip> wajeemba: different acpi support in each OS
[01:25] <wajeemba> ok, so any suggestions?
[01:25] <ActionParsnip> wajeemba: do you have the latest BIOS?
[01:26] <wajeemba> mobo? can you update a video card's bios?
[01:26] <ActionParsnip> wajeemba: are there any bugs reported for your make and model system regarding acpi?
[01:26] <ActionParsnip> wajeemba: sometimes you can (msi video cards can have bios updates if you use an msi motherboard in windows)
[01:27] <SVNDR> ActionParsnip: i have a question if your not to busy?
[01:27] <aBound> Has anybody been getting disappearing window buttons such as: x, minimize and maximize in the unity gui?
[01:27] <kszksz> relly looking for help with network card 8139, tried blacklisting, deleting file 8139cp, removing it from modules.pcimap, solutions from '2003 and still no effect. ubuntu 11.10, realtek 8139D
[01:27] <wajeemba> this is a custom built pc, pretty old, but the motherboard does have the latest BIOS (tho I think ABIT stopped making updates after 2006)
[01:29] <ActionParsnip> SVNDR: sup
[01:29] <Oer> wajeemba, remove the ppa and use ppa purge to go back
[01:30] <ActionParsnip> wajeemba: are there any bugs reported?
[01:30] <ActionParsnip> wajeemba: have you cleaned out the vents of the cooling hardware?
[01:30] <SVNDR> ActionParsnip: Is my USB drive supposed to be mounting and unmounting while im installing Ubuntu? By installing i mean after i burn the files to my USB using Universal USB, i restart my laptop and it boots into Ubuntu setup, but as it is setting up/installing my USB drive mounts and unmounts constantly? Any Ideas?
[01:30] <wajeemba> ppa? where would I look for bugs? I will take a dry cloth to it though.
[01:30] <kszksz> how to completely reset/remove network configuration?
[01:31] <wajeemba> I think I can also try swapping in an old PCI video card
[01:31] <haylo> SVNDR, it doesnt usually do that for me
[01:31] <haylo> SVNDR, sounds like that usb connection is sucky
[01:31] <Oer> sorry, wajeemba,> Akiyama-san  remove the ppa and use ppa purge to go back
[01:32] <SVNDR> haylo: yea, im guessing its not supposed it.. its USB 2.0, and 16GB hardrive.. so i dont understand why it would though..
[01:32] <MonkeyDust> kszksz  /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/network/interfaces
[01:32] <SVNDR> not supposed to**
[01:32] <haylo> i have done a ton of ubuntu installs and never seen this SVNDR
[01:33] <marcus> hi room
[01:33] <marcus> anyone from melb aus?
[01:33] <haylo> i suggest you make the usb in a linux control enviornment: a live cd, usb
[01:33] <bazhang> !au | marcus
[01:34] <haylo> make a live cd, then run start up disk creator inside of it
[01:34] <ActionParsnip> SVNDR: is the device healthy? Is it old?
[01:34] <oneliner> Anyone got updates on the realtek wired ethernet driver fiasco? the backport ppa is really broken if barely functional with still myriad timeouts, anyone tried for example wrapping the original win drivers ?
[01:34] <haylo> make a usb that isnt tainted by your previous system
[01:34] <SVNDR> ActionParsnip: its not even 2 months old, brand new practically
[01:34] <haylo> did you format yo FAT?
[01:34] <haylo> to*yo?
[01:34] <SVNDR> haylo: do you have a url to a guide i could use.. newb to linux
[01:34] <marcus> thanks for the info earlier
[01:35] <SVNDR> haylo: yes
[01:35] <haylo> nah im not an admin sorry
[01:35] <puff> ActionParsnip: *still* waiting for aptitude to finish updating.
[01:35] <haylo> stay on parsnip i think he is
[01:35] <SVNDR> marcus: from NSW here...
[01:36] <marcus> hi SVNDR
[01:36] <marcus> im from melb
[01:36] <slipknot> hi i am trying to compile the ardrone sdk on ubuntu 11.10 and i get this message http://pastebin.com/bEqtzX5d
[01:36] <haylo> but i made a lot of live cds and usb as a newb and a lot of them failed, but alot worked as well - good luck :)
[01:36] <marcus> first time on here...totally newb
[01:36] <ActionParsnip> SVNDR: is it plugged directly to the PC or to a USB hub?
[01:36] <puff> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/Bia7U6zq
[01:36] <SVNDR> haylo: thanks, i think ill need it.. i also think im just going to try from CD when i can
[01:37] <SVNDR> ActionParsnip: connected to the USB directly
[01:37] <JasonGriffee> I'm in the middle of making a "xorg.conf" file, and am not sure if I made it right. Could someone look it over so I know I won't mess up my display when i reboot?  http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/795575/
[01:37] <SVNDR> ActionParsnip: USB Port**
[01:37] <haylo> SVNDR, cd and dvd is what ended up really working for me :)
[01:38] <haylo> only from that control enviornment could i really tell all the silly usb mistakes i was making
[01:38] <SVNDR> haylo: might be my way to go then ;p
[01:38] <SVNDR> lol
[01:38] <alien2050> JasonGriffee: looks weird, esecially if you have a LCD display
[01:38] <slipknot> hi i am trying to compile the ardrone sdk on ubuntu 11.10 and i get this message http://pastebin.com/bEqtzX5d
[01:38] <gh0strider> anyone here use gpsdrive ?
[01:38] <haylo> did you get unibersal usb installer for your windows system SVNDR ?
[01:38] <alien2050> sound like youre trying to specify old analog values, is that the case ? (frequencies, etc)
[01:38] <haylo> universal*
[01:38] <JasonGriffee> alien2050, it's a vga out
[01:39] <SVNDR> haylo: yea sure did
[01:39] <ActionParsnip> puff: tried switching to the main server?
[01:39] <haylo> ActionParsnip, i think he can use unetbootin in windows as well is this true?
[01:39] <alien2050> vga cable or vga screen (CRT) ?
[01:40] <ActionParsnip> haylo: yes, its also available in WIndows
[01:40] <JasonGriffee> alien2050, vga cable, to a 1080p tv
[01:40] <ActionParsnip> SVNDR: also try the 1-2-3 app from pendrivelinux
[01:40] <alien2050> Then, I wouldn't fiddle too much with frequencies if I was you
[01:40] <Ben64> JasonGriffee: theres a good chance 1920x1080 isn't the resolution you want
[01:40] <haylo> yeah that is universal usb installer i think
[01:41] <alien2050> Youll most likely end up with : display not recognized... on your TV
[01:41] <Jonii_> Hey, is there a way to stop Ubuntu 11.10 recording everything I do?
[01:41] <alien2050> is it NVIDIA GFX?
[01:41] <haylo> lol
[01:41] <JasonGriffee> ben64, why?
[01:41] <haylo> you guys recording him?
[01:41] <haylo> ActionParsnip, ? lolz
[01:41] <almoxarife> Jonii_: recording?
[01:41] <Ben64> JasonGriffee: every tv i've hooked up to isn't the resolution like that
[01:42] <ActionParsnip> Jonii_: what is it recording exactly?
[01:42] <alien2050> yeah it will most likely be blurred a lot
[01:42] <ubuntu_fanatic> hi guys...can anyone care to help me ...im having a problem with my screen resolution everytime when i started ubuntu 11.10 i always have this not vivid color in my screen and also the fonts are not that vivid...i already installed the NVIDIA Geforce 9100mg but its still the same..the only thing that i have to do is to always adjust the brightness of my screen...so anyone here can help me?! it will be greatly appreciated..
[01:42] <Jonii_> almoxarife: at least files i've downloaded or viewed and programs i've been using
[01:42] <kszksz> MonkeyDust i made them default, and i still have some eth1 after reboot ;o and no eth0. there's even no config for eth1
[01:42] <ActionParsnip> Jonii_: and where does it record them to?
[01:42] <almoxarife> Jonii_: you talking about zeitgeist?
[01:42] <JasonGriffee> Alien2050, what frequencies?
[01:42] <Jonii_> I have no idea
[01:42] <ubuntu_fanatic> hi guys...can anyone care to help me ...im having a problem with my screen resolution everytime when i started ubuntu 11.10 i always have this not vivid color in my screen and also the fonts are not that vivid...i already installed the NVIDIA Geforce 9100mg but its still the same..the only thing that i have to do is to always adjust the brightness of my screen...so anyone here can help me?! it will be greatly appreciated..
[01:42] <SVNDR> ActionParsnip: haylo: i think i may have just read something on the pendrivelinux website that might be my problem, but before i try, do you rekon it will solve the mounting issue? (from your exsperience).. it says: If you're running a Windows Vista or 7 (which i am) Installer from your USB, after the first reboot, remove the flash drive and let the pc complete from the hard disk.
[01:42] <Jonii_> ActionParsnip: how should I know?
[01:42] <Ben64> !patience | ubuntu_fanatic
[01:43] <ActionParsnip> Jonii_: so you don't know what's recorded or where to, you need to chillout dude
[01:43] <haylo> PM  me if you think i can help you SVNDR
[01:43] <almoxarife> Jonii_: the only recorder of personal stuff is zeitgeist, and that can be disabled
[01:43] <ActionParsnip> Jonii_: it doesn't record anything
[01:43] <Jonii_> I mean, i just want it to stop. If I knew all the places that data goes, it would be really easy to stop it, but I don't
[01:43] <ActionParsnip> Jonii_: there is no recording, there is internet history like ANY OS
[01:43] <alien2050> THAT ----- 138.50  1920 1968 2000 2080  1080 1083 1088 1111 +hsync -vsync
[01:43] <ubluntu> Jonii_: the fbi will still find those files...
[01:43] <zorklat> I chose "hibernate" from lightdm while I had an account logged in, and now my main HD is kind of messed up.
[01:43] <puff> ActionParsnip: I started with the main server.
[01:44] <ActionParsnip> Jonii_: there are logs for dpkg and udev which are lost on reboot and are useful for debugging issues
[01:44] <alien2050> unless your TV manual says to put these values
[01:44] <alien2050> but I would worry.... if its nvidia its easier to run nvidia-settings and letting it detect everything
[01:44] <ActionParsnip> Jonii_: there isn't anything to stop, there is no recording of any sort
[01:44] <Jonii_> ActionParsnip: sure it does. Press windows-button to enter dash, and view programs or files&folders tab. Giving that blatantly false advice is weird and dangerous and creepy, mind you
[01:44] <almoxarife> Jonii_: as stated, your online trail is being kept by the people you pay for internet, so good luck
[01:44] <puff> ActionParsnip: Saw the same problem, trie to fi it by having synaptic select the best mirror, same problem.
[01:45] <Ben64> JasonGriffee: if ATI has something to change resolution, try using that, otherwise use ubuntu's resolution changer
[01:45] <ActionParsnip> Jonii_: those are the recent docs, then file suggestion based on the contents of your home folder
[01:45] <ActionParsnip> Jonii_: I don't use unity, hitting windows key brings up my lxmenu
[01:45] <Jonii_> ActionParsnip: yes. I know. And why are recent docs recorded? Why are commonly used programs recorded?
[01:45] <zorklat> Jonii_: b/c a lot of users like that.
[01:46] <almoxarife> Jonii_: you are a candidate for 'tor-browser', then only the US Navy tracks you, you do like the US Navy dont you?
[01:46] <ActionParsnip> Jonii_: convenience, so you can run them faster, windows does that too in the 2 bar start menu style...
[01:47] <Akiyama-san> Oer, i've tried to ppa-purge the ricotz/testing, but it gave a hell of conflicts and aptitude was trying to remove gnome-shell and all other gnome programs
[01:47] <Jonii_> i don't really care about me being tracked all that much, i just find it really objectionable that theres simply no documentation on ubuntu about what of stuff you do is recorded without your own consent, in spite of it being your own computer
[01:47] <Ben64> Jonii_: its only local
[01:47] <Ben64> don't give anyone your computer and they can't see your recent documents
[01:48] <ActionParsnip> Jonii_: http://askubuntu.com/questions/34592/how-to-clear-recently-used-files-without-using-a-terminal   may also clear the apps list, Ive never met anyone as paranoid as you. I bet you walk the streets with tinfoil on your head
[01:48] <alien2050> Jonii: Actually, everything is in your home directory, if you remove that before selling the computer for example, its all  gone.
[01:48] <slipknot> hi i am trying to compile the ardrone sdk on ubuntu 11.10 and i get this message http://pastebin.com/bEqtzX5d
[01:48] <Jonii_> Ben64: it could be stolen, or hacked into. I'd rather have it not-record me unless I explicitly tell it to
[01:48] <almoxarife> Akiyama-san: yeap, purge then re-install the original
[01:49] <ActionParsnip> Jonii_: you can use gnome tweak tool to make it not record the recent docs
[01:49] <Jonii_> alien2050: oh, thats good news
[01:49] <Ben64> its not really "recorded" anyway
[01:49] <Akiyama-san> almoxarife, the problem is that aptitude will remove all my programs with gnome-shell
[01:49] <Ben64> if someone hacks into your computer, theres bigger problems for you than your recent documents
[01:50] <puff> ActionParsnip: The aptitude udpate finally ended, with an error: http://pastebin.com/SQmRWm9p
[01:50] <synrat> hi. does anyone know how to send f8 ( safe mode )  key to virt-manager guest  ?  I have a guest 2003 server on 10.04 LTS, which won't boot, but I can't even try to fix it, because the boot sequence is too fast and no f8 key doesn't catch it in time.
[01:50] <subcool> lil help because im stupid-
[01:50] <ActionParsnip> Jonii_: people can hack in or steal your password and then access your system at any time, recent docs list or not
[01:50] <alien2050> yeah its there to help if you forget stuff or dont know how to use a computer usually... but in linux, unless you start copying stuff everywhere its very tidy and all in your home directory
[01:50] <almoxarife> Jonii_: its all cute and all but you are asking not to be seen by a system that tracks your movements(internet), hello? snail mail is still safe, ii think
[01:50] <subcool> i just downloaded two vmware packages.. but they are in TXT??? - how do i install them. and y the hell isnt there a deb
[01:51] <ActionParsnip> puff: do you have software centre open or are updates running?
[01:51] <jmg> hi all
[01:51] <alien2050> I know because since ubuntu 8 Ive been copying my home directory to a new install, and everything (including icon placement etc) is ported over.... WAY easier than M$
[01:51] <jmg> gnome shell looks terrible
[01:51] <puff> ActionParsnip: Nope.
[01:51] <jmg> how do i use the launcher from jolios?
[01:51] <ActionParsnip> !aptfix | puff
[01:51] <Jonii_> ActionParsnip: its a netbook. It can easily be stolen, and it has ridiculous amounts of sensitive data about me, exact nature and extent of data is unknown to me, and i really don't like diving into finding out all the ways this data could be used against me
[01:51] <ActionParsnip> Jonii_: then use encryptfs and keep a backup, no need to worry then
[01:52] <almoxarife> Akiyama-san: yes, it might, let it, then when done have it all re-install, re-installing 'ubuntu-desktop' after you system is stripped clean will leave you with a fresh system
[01:52] <ItalianStallion> hello
[01:52] <Jonii_> Lots of unknowns and lots of risks, so why not just try to reduce the amount of unnecessary tracking of files
[01:52] <zorklat> Jonii_: if you're that worried about your data, you OUGHT to be using CentOS or Scientific or Fedora, with LVM and full disk encryption
[01:52] <ActionParsnip> Jonii_: using encryptfs will mean that if the drive is removed or such, the data will be garbage
[01:53] <Jonii_> zorklat: i've heard about fedora, but not about the two other oses you mentioned
[01:53] <puff> ActionParsnip: hm, no visible output, but... trying aptitude update again.
[01:53] <ActionParsnip> zorklat: why and how are their securities 'better' than ubuntus?
[01:53] <Jonii_> ActionParsnip: yeah, i've thought of using that
[01:53] <ParkerR> \o ActionParsnip, How's it going?
[01:53] <almoxarife> Akiyama-san: but it will need to be done at the terminal, maybe, because stuff may dis-appear as you progress
[01:53] <alien2050> ActionParsnip: +1
[01:53] <jmg> how do i get rid of gnome shell? it's terrible
[01:53] <ActionParsnip> Jonii_: you should if you are THAT paranoid
[01:53] <Akiyama-san> almoxarife, my configurations will not be erased?
[01:53] <ActionParsnip> jmg: its a package like any other
[01:53] <zorklat> Jonii_: CentOS and >Scientific are clones of >RH>~EL.
[01:53] <Jonii_> ActionParsnip: I know. It embarrasses me a bit that I haven't done that :/
[01:53] <slipknot> hi i am trying to compile the ardrone sdk on ubuntu 11.10 and i get this message http://pastebin.com/bEqtzX5d
[01:54] <almoxarife> Akiyama-san: no, dont touch your /home/ folder
[01:54] <Oer> Jonii_, use bleachit to remove any trace on your laptop, little drastic, imho
[01:54] <alien2050> zorklat: so ?
[01:54] <Akiyama-san> k
[01:54] <Akiyama-san> ill restart and do it
[01:54] <zorklat> ActionParsnip: LVM and encryption of the full disk as opposed to just the /home directory.
[01:54] <almoxarife> Akiyama-san: dont restart
[01:55] <zorklat> alien2050: Jonii_ asked me.
[01:55] <Jonii_> I'd want to have an OS that I can trust to not do stuff I find objectionable. Its just that i'm not that good with computers, so its gonna be a long road for me :/
[01:55] <jmg> how can i configure it to be less crap? why are the icons so huge?
[01:55] <ActionParsnip> zorklat: you can have full disk encryption in ubuntu
[01:55] <almoxarife> !ot | Jonii_
[01:56] <puff> ActionParsnip: Hm, similar errors so far.
[01:56] <ActionParsnip> jmg: set smaller icon size in configs
[01:56] <zorklat> ActionParsnip: that's new.  >What about lvm, which I have learned(the hard way) makes it more difficult to recover data?
[01:56] <ItalianStallion> i have question im looking to install ubuntu on 2nd hard drive i have inside my computer and i have windows on the other hard drive as my main os, it wont mess with my windows right?
[01:56] <ActionParsnip> puff: tried a reboot?
[01:56] <ActionParsnip> zorklat: get a backup and data recovery isn't even a thing
[01:56] <Jonii_> How did I go offtopic? :o
[01:56] <ActionParsnip> zorklat: if you have no data backup then the data is diposable to you
[01:56] <almoxarife> Jonii_: your likes and dislikes are not a support issue
[01:57] <zorklat> ItalianStallion: it shouldn't.  Make sure that your Ubuntu drive is the first boot device.
[01:57] <alien2050> ItalianStallion: nope it won't. The other way around will. If you need to reinstall M$, it will scrap the boot sector, but even then it's easily recoverable. So no, you can install no worries
[01:57] <almoxarife> Jonii_: you want chat, take it to #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:57] <ItalianStallion> no i want to keep my windows on my main hard drive and install ubuntu on my second hard drive
[01:58] <oneliner> in the land of dual boot, ladies go first
[01:58] <ItalianStallion> so like when i boot the computer up, it gives me the option of what i want to load..windows or ubuntu
[01:58] <ActionParsnip>  ItalianStallion there is no 'main hard drive'
[01:58] <zorklat> ItalianStallion: you can do that.  Just make sure your second hard drive is the one your computer boots from, and no worries.
[01:58] <alien2050> ItalianStallion: Ubuntu will ALWAYS allow you to choose
[01:58] <ItalianStallion> (C:) is my main hard drive with windows
[01:58] <ItalianStallion> i would like to install ubuntu on my (E:) hard drive
[01:59] <ActionParsnip> ItalianStallion: irrelevant which drive letter has windows on, neither is 'main'
[01:59] <alien2050> Just ensure you've got unpartitioned space
[01:59] <ItalianStallion> what you mean unpartitioned?
[01:59] <ItalianStallion> the one i want to install on it is NTFS
[01:59] <alien2050> Nah that's not how it works... you will need to find some unused partition, remove it entirely, then install ubuntu there
[02:00] <alien2050> Because Ubuntu uses EXTx format, not NTFS
[02:00] <ActionParsnip> ItalianStallion: you will need to resize the ntfs and install there or you may be able to tell wubi to use the ntfs space to install to
[02:00] <alien2050> or other formats, but usually...
[02:00] <ItalianStallion> so what do i do, i put the iso on the usb stick and load the usb stick and install that way?
[02:00] <jmg> all of the posts i find about unity are either "It's horrible" or "lah lah lah im such a fanboy unity roolz, i dont actually use computers but i love it anyway LOL" and nothing about how to make it suck less
[02:00] <alien2050> you need to ask yourself: how much space do I have, and in that space ubuntu will go
[02:01] <ActionParsnip> ItalianStallion: you can do it that way, remember to MD5 test the ISO you have
[02:01] <zorklat> jmg -- go to webupd8.org
[02:02] <jmg> how do i install this http://news.softpedia.com/news/Introducing-Ubuntu-11-10-Without-Unity-228425.shtml on my ubuntu?
[02:02] <ActionParsnip> jmg: use what you like, it doesn't affect out PCs ;)
[02:02] <Jonii_> almoxarife: the question was "what and where does ubuntu record stuff about me, and how to get rid of all those records I deem unnecessary". I thought that would be an ubuntu issue
[02:02] <zorklat> Me, I'm acclimated to unity.  I tend to prefer lxde, but unity 2d is ok with enough ubuntu tweak & config.
[02:02] <jmg> ActionParsnip: it affects mine
[02:02] <ActionParsnip> jmg: that gives a 404
[02:03] <almoxarife> Jonii_: you talking about zeitgeist? it records and it can be stopped from doing it
[02:03] <zorklat> jmg -- consider lxde, xfce, kde, razor-qt, openbox+tint2 panel.  you have plenty of options.
[02:03] <ActionParsnip> jmg: if you dont like Unity, don't use it. I use LXDE more these days and Xubuntu and Kuuntu exist, doesn't use any Unity or Gnome shell
[02:04] <Jonii_> And it can be safely removed? And there are no hidden records elsewhere that I should know about?
[02:04] <ActionParsnip> jmg: Gnome is not the only desktop, ther is lots of choice
[02:04] <almoxarife> !who | Jonii_
[02:04] <zorklat> jmg:  heck, try Bodhi.
[02:04] <regeya> I hated Unity when it first became the main Ubuntu desktop.  I recently gave it another try...surprise, it's gotten a lot better.  I still don't like the autohiding menu bar, but that's one of my few gripes. ;-)
[02:04] <Ben64> Jonii_: using a computer, ANY computer will leave traces of you being there, unless it is a read only system, just don't worry about it
[02:04] <jmg> it's still horrible.
[02:04] <zorklat> regeya: check webupd8, and I think you'll find a fix for that.
[02:05] <regeya> really!
[02:05] <jmg> how do i make it look like this? http://i1-news.softpedia-static.com/images/extra/LINUX/large/ubuntugnomeshellremix-large_001.jpg
[02:05]  * regeya checks
[02:05] <puff> ActionParsnip: Yeah, though I guess I could reboot again.
[02:05] <ActionParsnip> jmg: that's gnome-shell   that's all I know
[02:05] <ParkerR> jmg, that is the new gnome 3 default theme with some tweaks
[02:06] <jmg> okay
[02:06] <S0LIDUS> regeya, I to hate Unity! It really does need some serious polishing.
[02:06] <jmg> and unity is what?
[02:06] <jmg> gnome shell made crap?
[02:06] <zorklat> regeya, google something like ubuntu unity launcher autohide disable and you're like~ly to find something.
[02:06] <ParkerR> I am on Ubuntu 11.04 Ubuntu classic and am loving it
[02:07] <Jonii_> UI of unity is the best I've ever tried, ever
[02:07] <jmg> you havent tried windows 3.1 then
[02:07] <jmg> or anything other than unity
[02:07] <Jonii_> Its kind of a shame its so unstable and full of bugs and whatnot
[02:07] <regeya> I still think next had the best ever ;-)
[02:07] <ParkerR> Jonbo, sad thing is it's geared more towards netbooks and tablets. Doesn't work well for full desktops or better laptops.
[02:08] <ParkerR> * Jonii_
[02:08] <jmg> it is HORRIBLE on my netbook
[02:08] <jmg> ParkerR: what resolution netbook?
[02:08] <Jonii_> ParkerR: well, true. I would be hesitant to use that on my desktop computer
[02:08] <Ben64> unity might be good for touchscreen
[02:08] <regeya> yep, that's what it was originally geared toward.
[02:08] <Jonii_> But 11.6" notebook + unity is an absolute bliss
[02:08] <skypent> What's the best music creator for ubuntu?
[02:08] <Aliv3> hey i tried to drag a tab from one gedit window to another, it screwed up my computer, im in console (CTRL ALT F2) right now using epic5
[02:08] <zorklat> jmg, that's almost trolling.  I suppose you could go full >CLI console cowboy, and use irssi for IRC and w3m for browsing.
[02:08] <regeya> some of the new ultrabooks will apparently have touchscreens.
[02:08] <skypent> looks like FL is win/mac
[02:08] <Aliv3> i cant mouse click or enter
[02:09] <ParkerR> jmg, I haven't actually used it on one. I was just saying it started out in the Ubunut netbook remixes
[02:09] <ParkerR> *Ubuntu
[02:09] <regeya> a ui, being forward-thinking?  say it ain't so!
[02:09] <alien2050> skypent: what type of music? electronic/live ?
[02:09] <jmg> it was crap there too
[02:09] <Aliv3> in gnome i mean
[02:09] <jmg> i just want a decent gui for 1024x768
[02:09] <skypent> alien2050; Electronic, not midi sounding.
[02:09] <alien2050> I'd say you should have a look at ubuntu studio
[02:09] <jmg> where windows actually fit on my screen
[02:09] <zorklat> jmg:  kde, xfce, razor-qt, lxde.  take your pick.
[02:10] <alien2050> it's really cool and has a lot of bundles, but in ubuntu you can also install
[02:10] <jmg> and 3/4 of it isnt taken up by an ugly launcher
[02:10] <Aliv3> notthing?
[02:10] <Aliv3> ill try reboot
[02:10] <jmg> kde are you kidding?
[02:10] <Jonii_> jmg: unity?
[02:10] <skypent> alien2050; looking for something that can make shoegaze type of sounds; deep distortion
[02:10] <S0LIDUS> I tried the new Ubuntu distro's with Unity and found it to be less functional, it seem's harder to get to the stuff you need. SO I fell back to the good old 10.04 LTS.
[02:10] <Aliv3> C
[02:10] <alien2050> definitely zynaddsubfx
[02:10] <zorklat> jmg:  that leaves 3 other choices.
[02:10] <alien2050> but it takes a bit of time to get used to it
[02:10] <skypent> i'll check it out; thanks
[02:10] <Jonii_> jmg: It works  pretty well. Though, you should tweak the launcher so that the icons are as small as you like
[02:10] <skypent> i have time
[02:10] <jmg> Jonii_: you seem to live in a twilight zone where unity isnt crap. how do i get there?
[02:10] <zorklat> jmg:  consider also bodhi and madbox.
[02:11] <alien2050> otherwise I would say supercollider and puredata but it's complex
[02:11] <regeya> I think it depends on what you define to be 'crap', jmg.
[02:11] <alien2050> Had a course at university on it actually, it is really really cool
[02:11] <jmg> zorklat: i prefer gnome. im going to try gnome-shell now
[02:11] <skypent> alien2050; do you know if it requires an input instrument?
[02:11] <skypent> i don't have a synth atm
[02:11] <zorklat> jmg:  then look into cinnamon.
[02:11] <Jonii_> jmg: download compiz tools and set launcher icons smaller. Sit back and enjoy. Learn to navigate with alt+tab and super+number keys, and set the launcher to autohide
[02:12] <alien2050> no requirement, you can generate sounds by signal processing
[02:12] <zorklat> jmg:  and/or MATE.
[02:12] <regeya> everything is subjective.  some people, no joke, think that kde4 with the oxygen theme is perfect.  some people think that the default windows XP look is the best ever.
[02:12] <alien2050> no midi device/guitar/etc needed
[02:12] <alien2050> but it can complement and make nice stuff of course...
[02:12] <chuck1> I don't like Unity but I think It will be cool on smartphone, tablet and futur mobile devices. But for my pc I had liked Gnome 3, I found it very convenient
[02:12] <jmg> zorklat: cinnamon isnt available in ubuntu
[02:12] <alien2050> ubuntu has a lot of music software in its repos
[02:12] <skypent> sweet, thanks alien2050; i..... i ... i love you
[02:13] <alien2050> hahaha!
[02:13] <zorklat> jmg:  point apt at mint's repos, and you can have it, neh?
[02:13] <alien2050> you'll have fun for sure with these tools
[02:13] <regeya> gnome shell is awesome in its own way, but it too seems to be focusing on touchscreens and, um, copying common tablet annoyances
[02:13] <jmg> ok
[02:13] <Jonii_> By the way, how do I change the system keyboard layout to dvorak?
[02:14] <Jonii_> So that its used as a default layout everywhere, including the first login and those virtual terminals you can access with ctrl+alt+fn
[02:14] <alien2050> That's actually one of the things that hooked me hard on Ubuntu, the way it integrates nicely for music composition, sound cards, etc
[02:14] <S0LIDUS> I miss Warty Warthog! lol
[02:15] <skypent> sweet; I was getting discouraged when i saw most of the called out ones were win/mac only
[02:15] <skypent> ...but maybe that's why their so called out.
[02:16] <alien2050> oh I forgot audacity and lmms
[02:16] <alien2050> great tools also
[02:17] <alien2050> I'm doing studio recording with audacity and puredata, they're just great
[02:17] <puff> ActionParsnip: I started trying to install skype client from the deb from their site; it was installing but when I tried to run it I go ta wierd error (something about the file not being there, but of course /usr/bin/skype *was* there).  So I rebooted, then remove/purged skype, then downloaded the deb again, but when I tried to run the deb I got an odd error.  I tried adding the Canonical Partner repo to install skype that way
[02:17] <puff> (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype) and that's where I started having this prob lem.
[02:18] <Jonii_> Is there a way to do that?
[02:18] <alien2050> puff: try to install the 32 bit of skype it should work fine
[02:18] <alien2050> there are also a couple of deps
[02:18] <Jonii_> Per-profile layout can be changed from system settings, that much I know
[02:18] <alien2050> to watch out for but it works fine on 11.10
[02:18] <ActionParsnip> puff: try:  sudo apt-get -f install
[02:18] <jmg> anyone know what launcher jolicloud uses?
[02:19] <ActionParsnip> puff: remember to match the arch of the deb to the arch of your ubuntu install (this isn't always the arch of your cpu as you can run 32bit OS on 64bit CPU)
[02:19] <ActionParsnip> jmg: jolicloud is offtopic here
[02:19] <jmg> ActionParsnip: not if i want to get the same launcher in ubuntu
[02:19] <ubuntu_fanatic> hi guys...can anyone care to help me ...im having a problem with my screen resolution everytime when i started ubuntu 11.10 i always have this not vivid color in my screen and also the fonts are not that vivid...i already installed the NVIDIA Geforce 9100mg but its still the same..the only thing that i have to do is to always adjust the brightness of my screen...so anyone here can help me?! it will be greatly appreciated..
[02:21] <zorklat> ubuntu_fanatic: the proprietary driver can adjust that sort of thing; you'll have to invoke it as root for changes to persist.
[02:21] <ubuntu_fanatic> zorklat: how can i do it to make it as a root?
[02:23] <ubuntu_fanatic> zorklat: how ??
[02:23] <zorklat> ubuntu_fanatic: you'll probably have to invoke it from terminal -- ctrl-alt-T to launch term, sudo nvidia-settings (I think that's what it's called) to launch as root.
[02:23] <jmg> is Unity just a theme for gnome shell?
[02:24] <puff> ActionParsnip: Yeah, I'm running 64 bit oneiric, I tried the 64 bit skype deb, now with using the canonical partenrs repo, all I see is i386.
[02:24] <alien2050> puff: install the 32 bit pkg, it works
[02:24] <alien2050> even on 64 bit
[02:25] <ubuntu_fanatic> i already configured the nvidia settings but im having the same problem
[02:25] <ubuntu_fanatic> zorklat: i already configured the nvidia settings but im having the same problem
[02:26] <zorklat> ubuntu_fanatic: then I am out of my depth.
[02:26] <cordoval> hi how can i upgrade to php5.3 .8 i am on latest ubuntu
[02:27] <alien2050> puff: have a look here
[02:27] <alien2050> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OneiricOcelot/TechnicalOverview/Beta2#Installing_the_correct_skype_package
[02:27] <alien2050> I am assuming you have 11.10
[02:30] <ParkerR> Has anyone got pianobar working under Ubuntu. The newer versions seem to fix login issues but they break some dependencies like libgnutls.
[02:30] <puff> alien2050: Thanks, yeah, 11.10 running ubuntu.
[02:31] <alien2050> puff: is it working now ?
[02:31] <ActionParsnip> puff: yeah the repos install 32bit, grab the 64bit deb from skype site
[02:33] <puff> alien2050: Still catching up.
[02:33] <puff> ActionParsnip: the URL alien2050 linked seems to suggest it's not good to install the 64 bit from the skype site.
[02:33] <puff> ". However, the Skype website currently directs users to download a package for 64-bit Ubuntu 11.10 systems which is not compatible. Users are instead recommended to install the skype package via the Canonical partner archive using Software Center"
[02:34] <alien2050> puff: yep that's right. that's how I got it to work.
[02:35] <puff> alien2050: Thanks, I'm using synaptic to reset to the main united state server first.
[02:35] <alien2050> puff: np
[02:35] <puff> alien2050: Also, earlier I used this line: sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner"
[02:35] <puff> I'm thinking that I should undo that...
[02:36] <alien2050> puff: I didn't have to do that, but if I remember correctly there were a couple of deps needed
[02:36] <puff> Dangint, synaptic is taking forever to reload and having all sorts of problems.  Is there a convenient way to reset apt/sources.list to the defaults?
[02:37] <alien2050> sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:37] <puff> Well yah.
[02:37] <alien2050> that's convenient :)
[02:37] <zorklat> I hibernated from lightDM while logged in, and now my disk spawns endless I/O errors.  I don't even know what to look at to diagnose the issue.
[02:38] <guest009> there is an option to restore original settings
[02:38] <FreezingCold>  Hey guys, in the middle of resizing my LUKS partition, and I'm reading the Ubuntu guide to do it.  I just resized the partition using resize2fs and everything went well.  Now, I'm being told by the guide to resize my volume with LVM, but I never used LVM.  What should I do?
[02:39] <L3d_1> hi folks ,im on fedora now ,and cant seem to get my ati drivers ,can someone tell me the cmd for the terminal ?
[02:39] <puff> Hm, here's my apt sources: http://pastebin.com/Qab5PTGs
[02:39] <zorklat> L3d_1: you need to ask the fedora people.  we ubuntu people just use jockey-gtk.
[02:40] <L3d_1> okm whats a .run file btw ,cause i have the ati one in .run ?
[02:40] <alien2050> it's an autoextract file
[02:40] <bazhang> #fedora L3d_1
[02:40] <frankguan> Hi,guys,does anyone know why installing the gtk could make the gnome enviroment unwork?
[02:40] <L3d_1> im allready there and thers like 4 pps
[02:41] <alien2050> works on ubuntu also, but since you're on Fedora, you're in the wrong channel...
[02:41] <pangolin> that doesn't change the fact that fedora is not supported here.
[02:41] <bazhang> L3d_1, there are way more. it's not supporte d here
[02:41] <zorklat> L3d_1: check the fedora FORUMS, then.
[02:41] <L3d_1> meh
[02:41] <skypent> alien2050: did you ever try zynsub on 11.10?
[02:41] <L3d_1> want to place an order ..
[02:42] <alien2050> Fedora people will be better equipped to help with your issue, and the ones you may have afterwards with gfx drivers
[02:42] <alien2050> skypent: yep! but I running 11.10 studio
[02:42] <skypent> alient2050; what do you mean by that?
[02:42] <skypent> is there a bundle you can just download for all of these?
[02:43] <alien2050> Well, I have a realtime kernel enabled because zynaddsubfx uses a LOT of CPU
[02:43] <L3d_1> well thanks for the help annywasus , good thing this server is a ok, laters
[02:43] <alien2050> and sometimes it lags if it's not enabled
[02:43] <alien2050> since it generates such rich and complex sounds...
[02:43] <skypent> ah; i'm just wondering if you had any issue with  not getting any sound.
[02:44] <frankguan> why when i reinstall the sqlite3 and ZLIB the gnome desktop is gone?
[02:44] <alien2050> skypent: could be related to that... what is your sound card ?
[02:44] <skypent> lemme check, back in a moment
[02:44] <alien2050> I run it on a XFI Audio Creation card
[02:44] <acerimmer> #list
[02:44] <alien2050> XFI Fatality also works fine I've tested it
[02:46] <alien2050> ooooooops.... I forgot something important (just running it now).... you need to have jack for it to work really smooth
[02:46] <alien2050> try install the JACK driver, i.e. apt-get install qjackctl
[02:47] <alien2050> otherwise it will need the precise HW device id of your sound system and can be difficult
[02:47] <alien2050> JACK is another sound server, it will disable ALSA while it's running... but it's worth it
[02:49] <skypent> Yeah i installed that a bit ago.  An extremely novice question, but... is there a quick way to see the sound card on my system?
[02:49] <puff> Dangit... it's doing the same thing as before, getting very, very slow for no discernible rason.
[02:49] <alien2050> try "lspci"
[02:49] <alien2050> as root
[02:50] <skypent> that gives me a list of all my hardware?
[02:50] <alien2050> with jack, you need to "plug" the applications with the sound system
[02:50] <bazhang> skypent, try sudo lshw
[02:50] <const_antine> try lsusb
[02:50] <const_antine> if its usb card
[02:51] <aber> ;)
[02:52] <ActionParsnip> alien2050: lspci can be ran by users
[02:52] <alien2050> true... old habits :)
[02:53] <frankguan> Does anyone know how can I add terminal to the panel?
[02:53] <ActionParsnip> frankguan: try guake :), much easier if you use terminal a lot
[02:53] <acerimmer> frankguan: right click, add this launcher to panel
[02:53] <BlueProtoman> Anyone here know why Synaptic (Ubuntu 11.04) can't fix this broken package?  I can't install new software until I get this fixed.  http://pastebin.com/RaFii4ts  Here's my list of package sources.  http://pastebin.com/HTReL7zL  Re-installing doesn't help.  http://pastebin.com/np5EAUgG  Purge doesn't work.  http://pastebin.com/9HDSkMi4  Neither does apt-get install -f.  http://pastebin.com/fEj1tpTs
[02:54] <frankguan> But I use xubuntu :)
[02:55] <haylo> ActionParsnip is clearly having alot of fun
[02:56] <ActionParsnip> haylo: sometimes, at work now but ssh'd using putty :)
[02:56] <skypent> sorry i don't quite know what i'm looking for, i put the contents of lspci into http://pastiebin.com/?page=p&id=4f07b42eb8e44 could any of you take a look to "decode" it for me, where exactly it tells me my card.
[02:56] <haylo> ah thats cool :)
[02:56] <ActionParsnip> frankguan: xubuntu uses GTK, which is why you use gksudo like in Gnome.
[02:56] <haylo> did you go to school for linux adminstration?
[02:57] <ActionParsnip> frankguan: for a light alternative, use tilda
[02:57] <haylo> or self taught?
[02:57] <skypent> maybe this one Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 01) (is this my sound card)?
[02:57] <ActionParsnip> haylo: no, just been using it a long while
[02:57] <haylo> ah cool :)
[02:57] <ActionParsnip> haylo: so self taught, but got the LPI 101 & 102 book, might as well get some creds for what I know :)
[02:58] <ParkerR> Hey haylo
[02:58] <puff> Hm, not that speed tests are all that reliable a gauge, but speedtest.net claims I've got 1.21Mbps download.
[02:58] <puff> And .16Mbps upload, wow that sucks.
[02:58] <ActionParsnip> frankguan: yakuake is the QT (KDE) eqiv. They let a terminal drop down from the top like the tilde console in Doom/Quake/Wolfenstein etc and hide again on the same press, very useful
[02:59] <puff> at least G, might be N.  As I understand it
[02:59] <puff> Dangit.
[02:59] <ActionParsnip> puff: have you disabled IPv6? Did you run speedtest 3 times?
[02:59] <puff> I really hate linu cut 'n paste :-(.
[02:59] <puff> http://www.speedtest.net/result/1691426937.png
[02:59] <puff> ActionParsnip: No, and no.
[02:59] <ActionParsnip> puff: speedtest is your WEB speed, not LAN speed. You could have N speed wifi to a 2Mbps internet link and speedtest would show you with 2Mb connection
[03:00] <roadfish> Which Ubuntu package is best for making LAN between two Ubuntu PCs? I am connecting with an ethernet cable and without a router.
[03:00] <ActionParsnip> puff: always run speedtest 3 times, makes for better results, disabling ipv6 can help speed a little
[03:00] <ActionParsnip> roadfish: you have the LAN already then if you have the wires connected and a router
[03:00] <puff> ActionParsnip: I'm not too worried about LA?N speed, just about how fast my pipe is.
[03:00] <roadfish> Are packages like xorp or quagga appropriate.
[03:00] <puff> ActionParsnip: How do I disable ipv6?
[03:00] <haylo> hey ParkerR ! :)
[03:00] <FreezingCold> Can somebody PLEASE help me resize my LUKS partition? :/
[03:01] <puff> Hm, second test showed .48 Mbps.
[03:01] <ActionParsnip> puff: add the boot option:  ipv6.disable=1
[03:01] <frankguan> Thank you
[03:01] <roadfish> ActionParsnip: what about when I am connecting with a wire ... but NOT using a router?
[03:01] <ActionParsnip> frankguan: sweet isn't it :)
[03:01] <bf4648> if Google Chrome doesn't natively support the playing of mp4s...is there a plugin I can get to play mp4s?
[03:01] <puff> roadfish: ?
[03:01] <alien2050> puff: for the cut and paste, there is a tool, like gclipboard or something that lets you manage it
[03:01] <ActionParsnip> roadfish: as long as there is a logical connection, you have the LAN
[03:01] <puff> roadfish: By definition you're usinhg a router, just not necessarily yours :-).
[03:02] <ActionParsnip> frankguan: I suggest you symlink /usr/share/applications/tilde.desktop into ~/.config/autostart to make it run at boot too :)
[03:02] <puff> Damn, third test got me .27Mbps
[03:02] <puff> And fourth test .24 Mbps.
[03:02] <puff> I think I've found the problem, wtf is going on with comcast?
[03:03] <Ben64> you have fios, not comcast
[03:03] <roadfish> ok, to rephrase my question. I want to transfer files between to PCs that are connected with an Ethernet cable ... but not with a router. What program do I use to preform the connection. For instance, can I just do "ls /path-to-second-pc/"?
[03:03] <Ben64> roadfish: rsync works really well
[03:03] <alien2050> roadfish: I say scp
[03:04] <puff> Ben64: no, I have comcast, verizon's involvement is just because that's where speedtest is downloading stuff for the test.
[03:04] <Ben64> [puff] (~steven@static-108-32-33-25.pitbpa.fios.verizon.net)
[03:04] <Ben64> you have fios.
[03:04] <puff> Ben64: Oh, that, no, that's just where my colo is coming in from.
[03:04] <ActionParsnip> roadfish: transferring files is not "making a LAN"
[03:04] <puff> Ben64: I'm running my irc client on a debian box hosted by a friend.
[03:05] <ActionParsnip> roadfish: you will need to set the IPs on both sides as there is no DHCP server
[03:05] <puff> Ben64: The speed issues are with my local connectivitiy.
[03:05] <deepuvc> i need help badly
[03:05] <roadfish> Ok, so I am using the incorrect terminology. I guess this has been making my google searches harder.
[03:05] <puff> roadfish: It's really a whole lot easier to grab a cheap router and plug both boes into it.
[03:05] <danko> hello guys, i'm currently trying to download vmware palyer from vmware.com, and after login downloading not starting, but appears [Message ID: 621] Is the vmware palyer became not FREE ?
[03:05] <puff> ActionParsnip: Do you still need a crossover cable to do the sort of thing roadfish is trying to do?
[03:05] <deepuvc> iam not able to download any thing from ubuntu market
[03:06] <ActionParsnip> puff: yes as it is p2p
[03:06] <aber> really? I don't believe you...
[03:06] <puff_> umm what has no dhcp
[03:06] <roadfish> puff: one webpage said this: if it is an older ethernet port it may not be auto sensing, and then you would need a crossover ethernet cable.
[03:07] <deepuvc> i am not able to download any thing fromm ubuntu market place
[03:07] <deepuvc>  i am not able to download any thing fromm ubuntu market place
[03:07] <danko> can some one resolve my problem?
[03:07] <bazhang> deepuvc, no need to repeat so soon
[03:07] <roadfish> puff: so I guess this issue is if I have auto-sensing ... and I guess only really old cards (NICs?) lack auto-sensing
[03:08] <ActionParsnip> roadfish: I'd get a crossover, just in case
[03:08] <deepuvc>  i am not able to download any thing fromm ubuntu market place pls help me
[03:08] <bazhang> !helpme | deepuvc
[03:08] <ActionParsnip> roadfish: or re-head one side and make it a crossover cable, assuming you have heads and a crimper
[03:09] <deepuvc> okok but need help badly
[03:09] <puff_> geebs I got boxes of straight and x
[03:09] <deepuvc> man
[03:09] <puff> roadfish: I'd go with ActionParsnip's advice, he's alot more up to date on this stuff than I am.
[03:09] <JasonGriffee> I am having issue with VGA output not being 100% center on the x axis. How might I solve this?
[03:09] <deepuvc> i am not able to download any thing from ubuntu market place
[03:09] <aber> if you have Gigabit ethernet you don't need a crossover cable.
[03:10] <bazhang> deepuvc, repeating every five seconds wont get you help faster. try 15 minutes or so
[03:10] <deepuvc> bazhang can u help
[03:10] <puff> ActionParsnip: One possibility with my troubles, I replaced the apple airport with a mikrotik rb751u (http://routerboard.com/RB751U-2HnD) so there may be some problem with that.

[03:30] <puff_> unless you got a fw it should go
[03:30] <deepuvc> puff that was the problem u must have selected main servers
[03:30] <pksadiq> PatrickC: Why are you trying to compile emacs from source? it is already available in repo
[03:30] <wajeemba> what is the command to get X to regenerate it's config file? I'm trying a new graphics card.
[03:30] <puff_> no problem
[03:30] <deepuvc> puff dont go
[03:30] <PatrickC> pksadiq, i didnt ask that question here, lol, but i didnt know that...
[03:30] <StepNjump> Am I going crazy or what.. I was just trying to move some files from an external hard drive to a different dir winthin the same external hard drive.. Unfortunately, I used one of those scripts to find the mp3s and then move them but I didn't notice that the script was starting with find / as soon as I saw that, I did a ctrl C. When I searched for my files, they were all gone! I know ext4 is really
[03:31] <deepuvc> its not orking
[03:31] <StepNjump> smart but in these situations, it really sucks.. Where does it put the files in the middle of doing a move? I'm trying to understand.. Was everything in the memory? What happened. Did it just delete mp3s or it destroyed more than that.. I like Linux but something has to be done about this clever sytem that doest fragment.. I was JUST about to back up.. It's always like that!!!!
[03:31] <FloodBot1> StepNjump: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:31] <puff_> lol I haven;t gone anywhere for days
[03:31] <deepuvc> its showind can download respitory
[03:31] <puff_> I still gotta get bind9 configged waiting for authorization
[03:32] <puff_> forwarders etc
[03:32] <puff_> bind9 is definitely different from what I am used to
[03:33] <puff_> geez deepovc there is no reason that should not be working
[03:33] <synrat> hi. does anyone know how to send f8 ( safe mode )  key to virt-manager guest  ?  I have a guest 2003 server on 10.04 LTS, which won't boot, but I can't even try to fix it, because the boot sequence is too fast and no f8 key doesn't catch it in time.

[03:35] <rhizmoe> what's the tiniest audio player I can use to preview .wav files in nautilus?
[03:35] <deepuvc> puff how can i change he colours of the folders
[03:36] <deepuvc> in ubundu 11.10
[03:36] <bendon> hey i'm new to linux...  is there a way i can access newtwork share folders (ie smb://server/folder) at the command line.  its easy in gui, i know, but i wanna access media from a windows share drive and use ffmpeg to converti it (on an ubuntu computer).  How do I reference network share folders, or is the question, where are they mounted when I access them through gui file manager.  I'm guessing
[03:36] <bendon> my problem is the same reason you cant just drag files from a network share folder into vlc, you have to double click them to open.
[03:36] <rhizmoe> deepuvc: icon set
[03:36] <zakk> bendon: http://www.linux-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/1404-how-to-mount-a-windows-share-with-smbmount/
[03:36] <bendon> cheers mate
[03:36] <deepuvc> where is that
[03:36] <urlin2u> synrat, that must be a windows server you have the install iso?
[03:37] <rhizmoe> oh you'll probably want to make it a static mount, too
[03:37] <rhizmoe> the double-click thing is probably automount getting woken up
[03:38] <walden> hi, how do i remove twitter accounts from gwibber?
[03:38] <bendon> da,m thought it would be easier than that.  will be using the flash drive.  thanx every1
[03:38] <walden> oh nevermind i got it
[03:38] <rhizmoe> walden: probably the accounts thingy
[03:38] <walden> silly gwibber UI makes the + - icons look grayed out
[03:39] <TomHua> Hello. anyone knows how to get the XChat alert sounds?
[03:39] <puff_> man I can't get a straight answer to the ports question
[03:40] <TomHua> hmmm
[03:40] <TomHua> hey puff_
[03:41] <D_Russ> anyone know anything about nvidia drivers?
[03:42] <haylo> i think your ubuntu install should detect them in "additional drivers"
[03:43] <walden> is there a plugin for Thunderbird that will make it easier to save notes to your IMAP server?
[03:43] <walden> i'm thinking of something like apple's notes feature for iphone
[03:43] <D_Russ> was trying to get steam and team fortress to work on 11.10 with wine, but i am having some graphics issues. it will start and all but there is no color on the characters
[03:43] <D_Russ> unplayable
[03:44] <ActionParsnip> D_Russ: did you check the wine appdb?
[03:44] <haylo> i like my games with real high graphics quality and have heard that wine cant really do this
[03:44] <D_Russ> nvidia has drivers for ubuntu on there site but i cant get them to install
[03:44] <D_Russ> so you just use windows haylo?
[03:44] <ActionParsnip> haylo: I've played doom3 at some fairly high settings..
[03:44] <haylo> but i do want to try windows sauerbraten on linux in wine
[03:44] <ActionParsnip> D_Russ: the drivers are in the repos, you don't need the nvidia site
[03:44] <alien2050> D_Russ: should be fairly easy to install nv drivers
[03:45] <ActionParsnip> !info sauerbraten
[03:45] <haylo> mayeb il do that tonight and compare the fps
[03:45] <almoxarife> D_Russ: listen to ActionParsnip
[03:45] <ActionParsnip> haylo: why need wine, its a native app...?
[03:45] <D_Russ> so the drivers that i have should be good enough?
[03:45] <haylo> just curious what fps i would get
[03:45] <haylo> i get 200- 600 in ubuntu
[03:45] <puff_> deepuvc: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#Handling_a_broken_apt_cache
[03:46] <ActionParsnip> D_Russ: just run:  sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get install nvidia-current     and you will have nvidia's driver installed..
[03:46] <haylo> wonder what windows version would pull in wine
[03:46] <puff_> that may be it
[03:46] <puff_> it's stuck
[03:46] <almoxarife> !wine
[03:46] <ActionParsnip> haylo: 200fps is pretty sweet
[03:46] <D_Russ> thanks ActionPArsnip
[03:46] <puff_> Wine is a delightful fermented grape drink that will make you weak and silly.
[03:46] <blackshirt> My cheese not detected my webcam..it says no devices found.how to fix this?
[03:46] <puff_> brb
[03:47] <ActionParsnip> blackshirt: run:  lsusb   and use the 8 character hex id to find guides
[03:48] <blackshirt> Lsusb?
[03:48] <Rum> http://linux.die.net/man/8/lsusb
[03:49] <ActionParsnip> blackshirt: yes, all in lowercase in a terminal
[03:49] <g0th> hi
[03:49] <g0th> how do I remove the damn realtek audio driver?
[03:49] <walden> anyone know how to use Xnote for thunderbird?
[03:49] <D_Russ> yeah i already have the nvidia drivers installed as per the terminal. So i guess it just wont work with my PC. i have seen people getting it working on youtube, must be diffrent graphics cards in there PC
[03:49] <walden> g0th: is it in restricted drivers?
[03:50] <haylo> D_Russ, what is your Nvidea GPU ?
[03:50] <ActionParsnip> D_Russ: of course it will work
[03:50] <haylo> i mean what is the make?
[03:50] <D_Russ> gt230 i beleive
[03:50] <ActionParsnip> D_Russ: what gpu do you use?
[03:50] <D_Russ> let me double check
[03:50] <g0th> walden: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsCheck.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=24&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false#High%20Definition%20Audio%20Codecs
[03:50] <g0th> this one?
[03:50] <ActionParsnip> D_Russ: and is it part of some optimus crap (dual gpu)?
[03:50] <D_Russ> no its a seperate unit
[03:50] <haylo> sysinfo is ok tool for getting some system info
[03:50] <ActionParsnip> D_Russ: lspci | grep -i vga   will show you
[03:51] <D_Russ> its a gt 230
[03:51] <ActionParsnip> D_Russ: ok then run:  sudo nvidia-xconfig    and reboot, may help. If you get no desktop you can delete /etc/X11/xorg.conf   and reboot to be back where you  are now
[03:52] <D_Russ> if i get no desktop. i wont know how to delete xorg.cong
[03:53] <puff_> that's easy sudo  rm -f xorg.conf
[03:54] <ozzloy> what's the name of the tool that allows you to select different installation profiles, like "desktop" or "mail-server" or "lamp" etc. ?
[03:54] <puff_> from console
[03:54] <puff_> then startx
[03:54] <Flannel> ozzloy: tasksel
[03:54] <ozzloy> yuss
[03:54] <ozzloy> thanks
[03:54] <g0th> walden: so how do I remove it?
[03:55] <dexter_> hi guys , , , i just installed lubuntu , , one question is can i install unity on it?
[03:55] <D_Russ> im goin to come back to this issue another time. i already deleted steam from my ubuntu box, i have just been using it on my work PC. So no rush.
[03:57] <wiggmpk> alright, so my log files are becoming enormous in size, this is the second time I have receive 'low disk space on root' notifications. what is going on?
[03:58] <ubluntu> wiggmpk: read the logs ?
[03:58] <ubluntu> \
[03:58] <FreezingCold> Is it safe to edit my mbr while running a distro on the same drive?  Or must I do it from a LiveCD?
[03:59] <wiggmpk> ubluntu: it's not just 1 particular log file, nothing looks wrong, but why are they getting this large without any size constraint?

[04:02] <blackshirt> How to change keyboard layout or config on ubuntu through terminal?
[04:02] <theoneguy> it is safe to overwrite the MBR.
[04:03] <acerimmer> theoneguy: more info
[04:03] <escott> SVNDR, can be done either way. you can manual partition or just tell ubuntu to use the whole disk or install alongside windows and it will choose a default partition setup
[04:03] <theoneguy> ubuntu will create its own partitions.
[04:04] <oneliner> 35% packet loss on my ethernet currently, any advice on driver applications?
[04:04] <SVNDR> escott: yea i figured as much.. well ive tried about 4 times not to install ubuntu using USB and i have no succeeded once..
[04:05] <theoneguy> since the mbr is not used/being accessed while any operating system is booted, it is safe to overswrite it.
[04:05] <almoxarife> theoneguy: it is if grub replaces mbr and grub sees your win partitions , the good news is that either way, mbr can be replaced
[04:05] <escott> SVNDR, if you want to tell us more details we might be able to offer a suggestion

[04:08] <ActionParsnip> oneliner: tried a different cable?
[04:08] <SVNDR> escott: well i was in here earlier today, and yesterday and the day before lol i thinks its my USB to be blunt.. but a new face is a new idea.. I get to the point where i have burnt the image to USB, using Universal USB Installer, i then restart my laptop so it can boot into the setup, i get to the screen that offeres option like Install To Hard Drive, Chech Disk For Errors ect.. Wether i select
[04:08] <SVNDR> install or check.. my USB drive will start to mount and unmount over and over again until the setup bring up a fail screen..
[04:09] <escott> SVNDR, sounds like a bad usb
[04:09] <oneliner> ActionParsnip: hardware issues ruled out by means of dual boot, win7 internet functions on same box/setup is flawless

[04:11] <SVNDR> escott: yea, it does everything else a USB should, just not this.. its annoying i tell you what
[04:11] <oneliner> am pretty sure i saw all settings for ipv6 disabled, but i can double check, cant remeber conf file name for network sys
[04:11] <ActionParsnip> blackshirt: press tab after you type action ;)
[04:11] <ActionParsnip> blackshirt: its under system settings.

[04:13] <oneliner> ok will try
[04:14] <JWFoxJr> running 11.10 - can someone point me to a good how-to for configuring the resolution of the console framebuffer
[04:14] <ActionParsnip> blackshirt: search dash for system settings, its in there
[04:14] <vks> HEllo
[04:15] <wiggmpk> question about command, make sure I have it right, if I use "rm -rfv /var/log/*" that will remove all files & subdirectories of /var/log but not the parent correct?
[04:15] <JWFoxJr> wiggmpk: that's correctg
[04:16] <wiggmpk> JWFoxJr: thnkx
[04:16] <SVNDR> has anyone in here ever sucsessfully installed Ubuntu11.10 using iPhone4 (jailbroken) running 'USB Drive' - Or any other application for that matter??
[04:16] <oneliner> ActionParsnip: should i allow packet forwarding for ipv4?

[04:26] <JWFoxJr> running 11.10 - can someone point me to a good how-to for configuring the resolution of the console framebuffer
[04:26] <ActionParsnip> oneliner: your system isn't a router so forwarding isn't needed. Are there any bugs reported for your driver?
[04:27] <ActionParsnip> manuel_: its also offtopic and not supported here
[04:27] <escott> JWFoxJr, you just modify /etc/default/grub and put in a modeline. many are specified by number like vesa768, but that whole kernel framebuffer resolution mechanism is deprecated is my understanding
[04:27] <ActionParsnip> JWFoxJr: http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/lucidubuntu-10-04-high-resolution-plymouth-virtual-terminal-for-atinvidia-cards-with-proprietaryrestricted-driver/
[04:27] <oneliner> there is one with a backport solution provided
[04:27] <ActionParsnip> oneliner: worth a shot I guess
[04:27] <oneliner> i implemnted that solution currently is the "least ugly" functionality i am using
[04:28] <tellone> I followed a tutorial but missclicked something in CCMS, everything seems to be working now. But is there anyway to reset default just to be safe?
[04:28] <oneliner> fetching bug ml
[04:28] <JWFoxJr> escott ActionParsnip Thanks!
[04:28] <wiggmpk> JWFoxJr: what are you having trouble with? recently installed ATI or Nvidia drivers?
[04:29] <ActionParsnip> tellone: maybe:    gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz-1 unity --reset
[04:29] <JWFoxJr> wiggmpk: no - just never configured it before on ubuntu - used to run gentoo and they still use grub, not grub2 by default
[04:30] <oneliner> also, every dns resolution takes 20 secs apiece
[04:30] <escott> JWFoxJr, there is nothing different about the process. its the same kernel options, you just need to put them in /etc/default/grub
[04:30] <guest-Sqfodd> hello
[04:30] <wiggmpk> JWFoxJr: I just ask because reasons (typically) for changing framebuffer is because of ugly splash screens
[04:30] <ActionParsnip> oneliner: install and configure dnsmasq   and it will make that take 0ms
[04:30] <fisix> YEAH!!!
[04:31] <JWFoxJr> wiggmpk: I could care less about splash screens - I just want a VT with a reasonable (workable) resolution
[04:31] <guest-Sqfodd> help please i cant logim with my username it says password incorrect how can i solve it please
[04:31] <wiggmpk> JWFoxJr: right, which is the only other reason hehe, I was getting there
[04:31] <fisix> guest-Sqfodd, username for what?
[04:32] <ActionParsnip> oneliner: just edit /etc/dnsmasq.conf   line:  #listen=    to listen=127.0.0.1     then set your first DNS server to be 127.0.0.1    set your interface in network manager to DHCP (address only) then make your DNS be:  127.0.0.1, 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4

[04:32] <xmane> hello, i think i have a virus on linux
[04:32] <escott> JWFoxJr, the kernel is the kernel. its a kernel option. use whatever one is correct.
[04:32] <guest-Sqfodd> fisix,  when i start the pc and i have to login i forgot the password
[04:33] <JWFoxJr> escott: nevermind - I hadn't scrolled far enough in the article - I know it was a kernel option, just wasn't sure which method it was going to use
[04:33] <fisix> xmane, what makes you think that?
[04:33] <fisix> guest-Sqfodd, is your drive encrypted?
[04:33] <wiggmpk> JWFoxJr: you can achieve a prettier VT with the info on this site http://askubuntu.com/questions/6033/enabling-nvidia-driver-messes-up-splash-screen
[04:33] <guest-Sqfodd> fisix,  no
[04:33] <escott> guest-Sqfodd, boot to single user rescue mode and you can type passwd username and set your password
[04:34] <xmane> well, every time i go to firefox, it says that i haven't got the latest version and then it redirects me to a ubuntu antivirus
[04:34] <JWFoxJr> wiggmpk: I don't nouveau enabled - I'm using vesafb for framebuffer. :)
[04:34] <xmane> fisix
[04:34] <SVNDR> has anyone in here ever sucsessfully installed Ubuntu11.10 using iPhone4 (jailbroken) running 'USB Drive' - Or any other application for that matter??
[04:34] <wiggmpk> JWFoxJr: should work just the same, the info on what you need is there
[04:34] <guest-Sqfodd> escott,  how coz i a, using guest login now
[04:35] <oneliner> ActionParsnip: precise live cd?
[04:35] <fisix> guest-Sqfodd, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword
[04:35] <escott> guest-Sqfodd, reboot. hit esc (just after bios post) to bring up the grub menu select single, you will get a root terminal a bit later. type passwd yourUsernameHere and put in a new password
[04:35] <wiggmpk> JWFoxJr: you basically just need to change GRUB_GFXMODE= to whatever resolution you want and then follow the updates
[04:37] <escott> wiggmpk, why does everyone suggest GRUB_GFXMODE? what relationship does that have to the kernel framebuffer?
[04:37] <guest-Sqfodd> escott,  ok i try thanx
[04:37] <wiggmpk> escott: it does the same thing, and is easier to do
[04:38] <JWFoxJr> BRB - rebooting... <crossing fingers>
[04:38] <fisix> ESCOTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[04:39] <escott> wiggmpk, not according to the documentation: #GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480... The entry sets the resolution of the graphical menu (the menu text size). ... The setting applies only to the boot menu display, not the resolution of the operating system that boots.
[04:39] <wajeemba> hey, is there a good way to tell ubuntu desktop to NOT start an X session on boot?
[04:40] <escott> wajeemba, add "text" to the boot options
[04:40] <wajeemba> escott: "text" to the boot options in grub?
[04:41] <slipknot> hi
[04:41] <oneliner> wajeemba: alter the default grub entry to text where it says quiet splash
[04:41] <escott> wajeemba, GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub
[04:41] <escott> wajeemba, then run update-grub
[04:42] <bahaa> firefox keeps crashing and I suspect the problem is with ubuntu
[04:42] <ActionParsnip> wajeemba: in tne quotes with: quiet splash
[04:42] <bahaa> I have ubuntu10.10 on the box
[04:42] <bahaa> how can I know what's the problem?
[04:42] <ActionParsnip> bahaa: run it from a terminal, the output will be useful
[04:42] <wiggmpk> escott: well it was the only way I was able to achieve the size & display I desired
[04:43] <ActionParsnip> bahaa: also try disabling addons (if you have any), one by one to ssee if it makes it ok. Then you know the addon is to blame
[04:43] <scotty^> bahaa - Having a problem with Firefox?
[04:43] <bahaa> ActionParsnip, it gave nothing, but in the report it wanted to send to mozila I notice it says there is a segmentation error
[04:44] <bahaa> scotty^, yes but I suspect it's made by the OS, cause it's a fresh firefox and the previous one used to make the same problem
[04:44] <wiggmpk> escott: I am not a good person to discuss the pros or cons with it, I just gave a solution that worked for his needs
[04:45] <fenris> Hi everyone ^_^
[04:46] <scotty^> bahaa - is it crashing repeatedly on the same web page?  Or on random webpages?
[04:46] <escott> wiggmpk, im just puzzled because i wouldn't think it would work
[04:46] <guest-NAWBkw> escott,  back nothing done with esc, if i do shift after boot it shows gnu loading and it appears another screen sync out of range...
[04:46] <PAVAN> HELLO GUYS
[04:47] <bahaa> scotty^, repeatedly on random webpages
[04:47] <Guest46554> can anybody help with UEFI and Grub? or help with Grub2 GPT and Grub2 MBR??
[04:47] <bahaa> scotty^, "SecondsSinceLastCrash: 6" from the report
[04:47] <wiggmpk> escott: the website I linked and it's suggestion worked for me, a tighter looking VT and higher resolution splash screens and lightDM display
[04:47] <alexim> hi, i'm plugging in a wonky usb hard drive to Ubuntu 11.10, and it automatically mounts it as read-only (that's fine), but the mount point (at /media/foodrive) doesn't allow everyone read and exec, it's set at drwxrwx---. how can i add rx to everyone?
[04:48] <wajeemba> hmm, now all I get on reboot is "Failed to send power mode. Command timed out."
[04:48] <scotty^> bahaa - I could be an addon, like ActionParsnip said.  Also, try disabling Javascript in Firefox's preferences.
[04:50] <escott> guest-NAWBkw, sounds like you figured out how to bring up the grub menu but the grub graphics mode is no good. two approaches (1) guess at the position of the recovery boot option (it should be the second or third maybe?) so shift down arrow down array enter. or boot a livecd/install cd and fix things up from a chroot
[04:52] <ActionParsnip> alexim: you will need to remount it with better options
[04:52] <guest-NAWBkw> escott,  please help and tell me what can i do
[04:53] <escott> guest-NAWBkw, do you have a install cd on you?
[04:53] <lordlimecat> I just ran ecryptfs-user-migrate on a user, and logged in, but was not prompted to generate a passphrase, and the data does not appear encrypted from a root shell, but it was moved to a user.random folder.  Help!
[04:53] <lordlimecat> what do i need to do to finish the process?
[04:53] <guest-NAWBkw> escott,  yes
[04:54] <slipknot>  hi i am trying to compile ardrone sdk on linux ubuntu 11.10 and i get this error http://pastebin.com/JyykmDqk any idea
[04:54] <escott> guest-NAWBkw, boot that, go to the livecd, and log back in to irc from there. we can give you chroot instructions from that point
[04:55] <_jam> i'm using kubuntu 11.10. upgraded FF to 9 today. Now firefox will not accept external links.
[04:55] <_jam> has anyone else seen this behavior?
[04:55] <Guest46554> Im trying to triple boot in UEFI mode, w7, Linux and MacOS
[04:55] <ActionParsnip> _jam: external links in what way?
[04:55] <guest-NAWBkw> escott,  i have ubuntu 10.10 live cd not the 11.10...
[04:55] <trism> slipknot: sudo apt-get install libcwiid-dev
[04:55] <escott> guest-NAWBkw, thats fine
[04:56] <_jam> if I click on a link in irc or whatever, firefox pops open a window "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system."
[04:56] <guest-NAWBkw> escott, ok
[04:56] <bahaa> ActionParsnip, scotty^: I disabled all the plugins and it crashed again
[04:56] <ActionParsnip> _jam: is firefox already running?
[04:56] <alexim> ActionParsnip: i tried a "mount -o uid=1000,gid=1000", but the mount point is still owned by uid 99
[04:56] <_jam> yes
[04:56] <const_antine> can someone explain the concept of system time vs user time? according to time manpage, system time is cpu time used by system on behalf of process, while user time is cpu time used by process directly... isn't it all cpu time for process?
[04:57] <_jam> using the terminal, i get the error with "firefox -P default "http://google.com"" also -new-tab, -new-window, -browser
[04:57] <trism> slipknot: in fact, it seems like none of those packages were installed, so install all of them
[04:57] <slipknot> sudo
[04:57] <ActionParsnip> _jam: maybe your old profile from the previous version is causing an issue, if you close firefox and rename ~/.mozilla/firefox    is it ok?
[04:57] <trism> slipknot: except libcwiid1-dev since that package doesn't exist anymore
[04:57] <_jam> well, I've tried using my "clean" profile which changes nothing and has no addons and it has the same behavior
[04:57] <_jam> changes no settings*
[04:58] <escott> const_antine, the accounting is separate for a number of reasons but in part because system time is affected indirectly by other processes running on the machine, but user time is not
[04:58] <scotty^> bahaa - try disabling Javascript in Firefox's preferences
[04:58] <slipknot> trism, i installed i get the same error
[04:58] <ActionParsnip> _jam: what is the output of:  file `which filefox`
[04:58] <bahaa> const_antine, maybe this means that when the process uses the cpu it user time, but when cpu works something for the process it's system time, (like if the cpu makes some stuff ready for the process)
[04:59] <_jam> ActionParsnip: /usr/bin/firefox
[04:59] <trism> slipknot: libavutil/avutil.h is in libavutil-dev so not all of them
[05:00] <pksadiq> _jam: he asked to do    file `!!`
[05:00] <ActionParsnip> _jam: what is the output of:  ls /usr/bin/firefox*
[05:00] <slipknot> trism, ok i will try
[05:00] <const_antine> bahaa, if i understand multitasking, cpu runs processes and threads, it is not "aware" of relation between one process and other
[05:00] <ActionParsnip> _jam: use a pastebin to host the text
[05:00] <_jam> fwiw, /usr/bin/firefox is a symlink to ../lib/firefox-9.0.1/firefox.sh
[05:00] <trism> slipknot: there is a list at the start of your pastebin 'You should install the following packages...'
[05:00] <_jam> there is only one firefox executable in /usr/bin
[05:00] <ActionParsnip> _jam: ok cool
[05:01] <scotty^> _jam - Have you updated ubufox and xul-ext-ubufox to 1.0.2-0ubuntu0.11.10.1 ?  That should help.
[05:01] <ActionParsnip> _jam: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[05:01] <const_antine> though maybe CPU is not purely process based
[05:01] <Emerling> gnome-shell starts as classic, I uninstalled an apt-get purge re install and does not begin as before,
[05:01] <escott> const_antine, system time is in kernel kernel-mode time, user is non-kernel user mode code
[05:01] <_jam> ActionParsnip: oneiric
[05:02] <Guest46554> so ... anybody feels like trying a challenge?
[05:02] <_jam> ubufox is not installed, xul-ext-ubufox is 1.0.2....
[05:02] <Emerling> i need rreescue gnome-shell as before. :( help
[05:02] <lordlimecat> is there a way to undo a half-finished ecryptfs home migrate command?
[05:02] <ActionParsnip> _jam: may help http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/how-to-fix-firefox-is-already-running-error/
[05:03] <ActionParsnip> _jam: remove the lock and/or parentlock file and it should be ok
[05:03]  * ActionParsnip hates firefox
[05:03] <pksadiq> Guest46554: ???
[05:03] <const_antine> escott, so picking a memory page to allocate or free, for example, would be system time?
[05:03] <_jam> well, firefox is running. it should be! ok, just tried moving .mozilla and it works with a clean folder
[05:03] <_jam> UGH
[05:04] <pksadiq> _jam: does it says firefox is already running, then do sudo kilall firefox   and rerun firefox. thats all
[05:04] <Guest46554> Im dealing with UEFI here, and its kind of hard as there isnt much documentation pksadiq
[05:04] <_jam> pksadiq: yea, i've tried restarting firefox, doesn't work
[05:04] <pksadiq> _jam: did you did sudo killall firefox  ?
[05:04] <ActionParsnip> _jam: ok then use that and port your bookmarks over and such. Looks like the old version profile  is the issue, the new profile created by the new version is obviously the key :)
[05:04] <_jam> there are no firefox processes running
[05:05] <pksadiq> _jam: do ps aux | grep -i firefox  and find its ecxact name
[05:05] <escott> const_antine, yes. but the accounting gets weird, because if your app requests a page and that triggers a LRU walk to find pages to write out to swap who gets assigned that time? so often that gets done in another thread and the time is lost, but it can appear as real wall clock time, hence the reason for the separation.
[05:05] <_jam> pksadiq: there are no firefox processes running
[05:05] <pksadiq> _jam: k
[05:05] <slipknot> trism, the packages is installed the makefile bash script file show always routine checking library from begin
[05:06] <pksadiq> _jam: I do get the same error, and do the above fix, so I said
[05:07] <Guest46554> pksadiq: basically triple booting (linux, w7, mac os x) (chainloading either grub2 uefi to grub2 mbr or grub2 uefi to chameleon)
[05:07] <slipknot> trism, http://pastebin.com/mDubLMEQ
[05:07] <_jam> ok, trying the lockfiles
[05:08] <trism> slipknot: yes, libcwiid1-dev doesn't exist anymore, install libcwiid-dev instead (but keep all the rest on that line)
[05:09] <Resistance> can unity be uninstalled on natty?
[05:10] <Emerling> help me, my gnome-shell starts as classic, I uninstalled an apt-get purge ...re-install and does not begin normal as before,
[05:10] <escott> Resistance, not advisable. if you dont want to use it just dont use it
[05:11] <_jam> ok, removing the lockfiles did not work, and I just tried opening a link after removing the lockfile of a running firefox process. i'm pretty sure that was stupid
[05:11] <Resistance> escott:  why is it unadvised
[05:11] <Resistance> its in a VM
[05:11] <escott> Emerling, try gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.session session-name 'gnome-fallback'
[05:12] <bahaa> scotty^, I'll disable javascript, but there's something strange that it crashes even before opening anypage
[05:12] <slipknot> trism, i now it is installed for this reason i am confused why the make file show again that he need this file http://pastebin.com/bVLNViAT
[05:12] <hendaus> escott:  i am back from live cd
[05:13] <escott> Resistance, its too easy to get carried away and remove too many things and then end up without a working desktop
[05:13] <_jam> and yet, it seems to have worked
[05:13] <escott> hendaus, open a terminal and type "sudo -i" then we need to know a couple things: (a) was ubuntu the only os on the system? (b) do you know how the disk was partitioned
[05:13] <trism> slipknot: just say no when it asks you to install the package, and it should move on with the compile
[05:14] <trism> slipknot: if not the code may need a bit of patching
[05:14] <_jam> so, that really makes no sense. removed the lock files while no processes running. start process. lock file gets recreated (of course) things still fail. remove lock file while process is running. try to open link from external source. things go CRAZY. quit processes. restart. works.
[05:15] <Emerling> escott, thanks,  i try again
[05:15] <Resistance> escott:  its in a VM.  It cant handle Unity, and is limited on disk space.  its a special-case test situation (hence the VM)
[05:15] <hendaus> escott:  yes just ubuntu os and i have not partition the disk i have one hd that i am using ubuntu and the second hd is sata
[05:15] <_jam> thanks for your help
[05:16] <escott> Resistance, then ubuntu-server would probably be a better choice than the desktop os
[05:16] <grammy> hi all, I'm new to unity and can't find the hotkey to minimize all the open ap's and to show the desktop...does anyone know how to put a shortcut to the launcher that will bring up the display for the desktop?
[05:16] <bullgard6> [Synaptic > description of  »streamripper«] Are the terms »online stream« and »radio stream« synonymous?
[05:16] <slipknot> trism, http://pastebin.com/YSVrBKQq i typed no and the same problem
[05:17] <escott> hendaus, in that case your ubuntu system is probably /dev/sda1 but since you have multiple disks you might want to open the disk utility and identify what device is the ubuntu device
[05:17] <NotJimCarrey> trying to cross compile for arm and installed codesorcery, but getting "Error: Missing 32-bit libraries on 64-bit Linux host"

[05:18] <urgodfather> will someone help me configure my capture card
[05:18] <grammy> wow, will try it, didn't even think of a keyboard entry!!!
[05:18] <escott> hendaus, in particular we are looking for the "Device: /dev/sd??" that appears in the second column under the Volumes rectangle once you click on the disk and then on the correct partition
[05:18] <hendaus> escott:  /dev/sda
[05:19] <escott> hendaus, so assuming since you have only one partition it is /dev/sda1 then run the following commands: "mkdir /ubuntu" and "mount /dev/sda1 /ubuntu"
[05:19] <grammy> control-alt-D does it, many many many ty to you and all who maintain and contribute to this media outlet.
[05:20] <escott> hendaus, then run "ls /ubuntu" and you should see some things like "bin boot lib media sbin usr var"
[05:21] <NotJimCarrey> yes, ia32libs is installed
[05:21] <hendaus> escott:  /dev/sda1 looks like swapspace - not mounted mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[05:21] <trism> slipknot: so you installed libavutil-dev? if so I am out of ideas
[05:21] <escott> hendaus, try sda2 then
[05:21] <urgodfather> will someone help me configure my capture card? its a phillips pci tv tuner and im on natty.
[05:22] <pksadiq> !bttv
[05:22] <ActionParsnip> urgodfather: run:  lspci    I assume its a pci device, use the line identifying the device to find guides
[05:23] <hendaus> escott:  yes done
[05:23] <urgodfather> Actionparsnip: thanks. brb
[05:23] <escott> hendaus, and does "ls /ubuntu" list the normal contents of a "/" partition ie "usr bin sbin etc"
[05:24] <hendaus> esc escott  yes
[05:24] <escott> hendaus, ok then "chroot /ubuntu /bin/bash" you may get some warnings because we havent done any bind mounts, but they shouldnt be needed here
[05:24] <escott> hendaus, then "passwd fillInYourUsernameHere"
[05:25] <hendaus> escott:  chroot: failed to run command `/bin/bash': Exec format error

[05:25] <ActionParsnip> urgodfather: ok, nice and generic
[05:26] <ActionParsnip> urgodfather: you will find lots of guides for it
[05:26] <urgodfather> actionparsnip: 2 lines?
[05:26] <escott> hendaus, is your livecd a 32bit live cd? is your installed system a 64bit system?
[05:26] <Ben64> that capture card should "just work"
[05:26] <urgodfather> actionparsnip: i pulled from powermac g4
[05:26] <ActionParsnip> urgodfather: search for:  Bt878 Video Capture ubuntu
[05:26] <hendaus> escott:  how can i know?
[05:27] <Ben64> urgodfather: try installing/running tvtime
[05:28] <urgodfather> Ben64: will do in a sec, dont i need drivers of some sort?
[05:28] <escott> hendaus, "uname -i" will tell you the version of your livecd. "ls /ubuntu/lib64" will indicate if the installed system in a 64bit system (if it give a no-such file error then you have a 32bit installed system, otherwise it is 64bit)
[05:28] <pksadiq> !mythtv | urgodfather
[05:28] <Ben64> urgodfather: should already have em
[05:28] <urgodfather> Ben64: ok thanks
[05:29] <hendaus> escott:  unknown
[05:30] <escott> hendaus, what is the full "uname -a" output
[05:30] <hendaus> escott:  ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
[05:30] <AlexRamallo> I have 2 cards in my computer: 1 ati and 1 nvidia. 4 monitors connected (dvi+vga on ati, and hdmi+vga on nvidia). However, only dual monitors are working. The other two monitors on the nvidia card just show a purple screen with the word "ubuntu" in the middle
[05:30] <AlexRamallo> how can I get 4 monitors to work?
[05:31] <bullgard6> [Synaptic > description of  »streamripper«] Are the terms »online stream« and »radio stream« synonymous?

[05:31] <escott> hendaus, oh weird. sounds like you are in the chroot already. not sure why it complained about bash
[05:31] <AlexRamallo> does anyone know? :\
[05:32] <slipknot> trism, finaly it work
[05:32] <escott> hendaus, nevermind. yep. you have a 64bit installed system and a 32bit livecd. that wont work. we need a 64bit install cd
[05:33] <hendaus> escott:  ok wait
[05:33] <Platehead> YOU COME TO PEACE.IGNORELIST.COM 6667 OR NZCHATTER.NET FOR A GOOD CHAT ;]
[05:33] <escott> hendaus, we could try something fancy if you dont have a 64bit install cd, but im not 100% sure it would work
[05:33] <ActionParsnip> AlexRamallo: its waaaaay easier to match manufacturers, you may need to go back to the old days and make an xorg.conf.  Xrandr may also be able to do it
[05:36] <hendaus> escott:  i have 64 bits live cd
[05:36] <hendaus> escott:  can u wait ..
[05:36] <escott> hendaus, then thats the easiest approach
[05:37] <escott> i need to get to sleep soon. but its just going to be "sudo -i; mkdir /ubuntu; mount /dev/sda2 /ubuntu; chroot ubuntu /bin/bash; passwd yourUsernameHere"
[05:41] <roosh> the rt73usb driver that came with ubuntu is not working, any help?
[05:41] <const_antine> sudo rm -Rf /.
[05:41] <roosh> um, don't be silly
[05:42] <const_antine> aww
[05:42] <roosh> you shouldn't post stuff like that
[05:42] <roosh> someone's gonna actually try it
[05:42] <ActionParsnip> !danger
[05:43] <roosh> anyways, anyone will to help out?
[05:44] <rghosh> I'm creating a Maverick-based live USB image that boots in text mode.  What is the best way to have it run a program at startup instead of presenting a shell?
[05:44] <hendaus> escott:  back
[05:45] <escott> hendaus, so "sudo -i" then "mkdir /ubuntu" then "mount /dev/sda2 /ubuntu" then "ls /ubuntu" and verify it has the root directory contents then "chroot /ubuntu" then "passwd yourUsername"
[05:46] <urgodfather> will someone explain "bootable" flag to me? i thinki i misht be misunderstanding it.
[05:46] <totesmuhgoats> urgodfather: it sets which partition is bootable
[05:46] <ActionParsnip> urgodfather: its not needed if you are using grub
[05:46] <totesmuhgoats> oh, lol i didn't even realize i was in a linux channel
[05:47] <escott> urgodfather, its required by some bioses http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/23560/what-is-the-bootable-flag-option-when-installing-a-distro
[05:47] <urgodfather> ok, well lemme specify.... i have two ntfs partitions that i want to mount at startup and unmount at shutdown
[05:48] <ActionParsnip> urgodfather: then add them in /etc/fstab
[05:48] <hendaus> escott:  yes done\
[05:48] <puff_> weird I got 106.9Gb of freespace in my home dir yet for some odd reason it wouldn't write my downlos of the earth3D zip file which is only 1.1Gb
[05:48] <hendaus> escott:  now what
[05:48] <urgodfather> looked at pysdm but one one was fvisible
[05:49] <puff_> folder limit for Download?
[05:49] <escott> hendaus, thats it
[05:49] <urgodfather> actionparsnip: so gedit fstab and what command would i add?
[05:49] <escott> hendaus, you are done. if it didnt give an errors your password is now changed
[05:49] <hendaus> escott:  so let me try
[05:49] <hendaus> escott:  thanx escott  brb
[05:49] <puff_> see if that had been porn it would have worked
[05:50] <ActionParsnip> urgodfather: I suggest you search for examples online, its well documented
[05:50] <ActionParsnip> urgodfather: you'll need:  gksudo gedit /etc/fstab     too, it is owned by root
[05:51] <bullgard6> How to determine if the current Ubuntu release is a result of a release upgrade or a fresh install?
[05:51] <urgodfather> actionparsnip: ok thanks. im reading the fstab now
[05:52] <ActionParsnip> urgodfather: the folder you mount to must exist and is an empty folder
[05:54] <puff_> woot I got it, just jacked in to the MODIS satellite
[05:54] <urgodfather> actionparsnip: now you're confusing me... lol... folder?
[05:54] <ActionParsnip> urgodfather: yes, folder. Like a windows folder, you mount partitions to folders
[05:55] <puff_> lol now let's see what kind of resolution I can get
[05:55] <ActionParsnip> urgodfather: the folder will then be the access point to the data on the partition, linux doesn't use restrictuive drive letters, it has a file structure and you simply attach data storages where you want
[05:55] <urgodfather> actionparsnip: ex. when i mount my media part. i see in disk util. that its mounted to /media/media partition
[05:55] <ActionParsnip> urgodfather: its a lot more flexible
[05:55] <puff_> tell your girlfriends to put there tops back on I am definitley looking
[05:55] <hendaus> escott,  back
[05:56] <escott> hendaus, did it work?
[05:56] <ActionParsnip> urgodfather: /media/media is simply a folder created by udev, the partition is then mounted there so that when you access that folder you will be shown the contents of the partition you mounted
[05:56] <hendaus> escott,  yes sure :) thanx friend
[05:57] <escott> hendaus, fix your grub resolution with /etc/default/grub (uncomment the grubfx_mode
[05:58] <urgodfather> actionparsnip: yeah i think i get the concept now. however, i still dont know why pysdm didnt show my partitions when i installed it /:
[05:58] <escott> hendaus, you will want your grub menu to work in case anything ever goes wrong during the boot process (or you need to get to the recovery console). so uncomment the #GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480 line and run update-grub then reboot and check that the grub menu is visible when you press shift
[05:59] <titanes> hey
[05:59] <ActionParsnip> urgodfather: if you have existing partitions, if you use the custom partitioning, you can specify the partition to be mounted and put in fstab during install (if memory serves)
[06:00] <titanes> o hai
[06:00] <titanes> I NEEDZZ HALP!!!
[06:00] <hendaus> escott,  #GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480
[06:01] <titanes> I was banned from #ubuntu-women for no apparent reason whatsoever
[06:01] <escott> hendaus, remove the # you will need to run gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub to be able to edit the file
[06:01] <ActionParsnip> titanes: ask in #ubuntu-ops
[06:02] <Vaelstrom> goodnight!
[06:02] <abhi_> hello
[06:02] <hendaus> escott,  done
[06:02] <abhi_> i'm using ubuntu 11.10
[06:02] <abhi_> and installed gnome3
[06:03] <puff_> abhi_: most of us are
[06:03] <abhi_> is it safe to install ATI restricted driver under gnome3?
[06:03] <abhi_> will it work?
[06:03] <escott> hendaus, update-grub will regenerate your grub.cfg config file. then when you reboot and press shift you should see some options
[06:03] <ActionParsnip> abhi_: gnome3 is default in Oneiric, unless you install xubuntu, Kununtu etc (or minimal)
[06:03] <ActionParsnip> abhi_: yes, install away
[06:03] <abhi_> currently using opensource driver (gallium)
[06:04] <puff_> so far I haven;t found too much it won't do I am currently viewing the entire world from space via satellite :)
[06:04] <hendaus> escott,  ok brb
[06:04] <abhi_> but i heard that fglrx driver cause problem under gnome3
[06:04] <abhi_> is it true?
[06:04] <urgodfather> actionparsnip: yes, i have existing partitions. 1 is ext4 2 is logical with 5 ntfs inside 3 ntfs 4 swap
[06:04] <abhi_> i.e. under Fedora 16 it causing problem
[06:05] <urgodfather> actionparsnip: so the layout looks like    1      4      4     2 +5
[06:05] <BullShark> would somebody crontab -e and pastebin the commented lines (ones beginning with #
[06:05] <urgodfather> in the middle is 3
[06:05] <BullShark> would somebody crontab -e and pastebin the commented lines (ones beginning with #
[06:06] <BullShark> would somebody crontab -e and pastebin the commented lines (ones beginning with #) please?
[06:06] <abhi_> how to install ATI restricted driver under ubuntu?
[06:06] <BullShark> sorry about that
[06:07] <Flannel> BullShark: month hour day-of-month month day-of-week command
[06:07] <puff_> it's almost a shame what we have done to this planet
[06:07] <Flannel> BullShark: usually that's abbreviated as 'm h dom mon dow command'
[06:07] <abhi_> which one to install?
[06:07] <abhi_> fglrx-updates?
[06:08] <abhi_> plz someone inform me
[06:09] <BullShark> Flannel ☠ i know whats in it, but i do not have it on my distro and would like to add it. mind adding it to pastebin for me?
[06:09] <bullgard6> [Synaptic > description of  »streamripper«] Are the terms »online stream« and »radio stream« synonymous?
[06:09] <Flannel> BullShark: Put a pound sign in front of those, replace the spaces with tabs.... that's the whole file.
[06:10] <BullShark> Flannel ☠ -.-
[06:10] <hendaus> escott,  it shows gnu loading and then it appears another screen that says sync out of range and after seconds the monitor switch on starting ubuntu
[06:10] <puff_> your xorg.conf is off then
[06:10] <ActionParsnip> urgodfather: use UUIDs and you'll have fewer issues
[06:11] <ActionParsnip> urgodfather: run:  sudo blkid     then look at your fstab file, you'll see what I mean ;)
[06:11] <abhi_> which one i should install? fglrx-updates?
[06:12] <escott> hendaus, thats annoying you may have to play around with the GFXMODE to get it to work. but what is sync out of range is the grub menu, so you can't select what kernel to boot or what boot options to use, which is not good. it means you have to have the livecd handy to rescue any boot issues or lost passwords
[06:12] <escott> hendaus, you might go years without needing it, but there are also nights like tonight where it would have saved you an hour or so
[06:13] <Iceheart> Question, just updated to ubunto 11.10
[06:13] <Iceheart> now my battery is refusing to charge
[06:13] <Iceheart> but at the same time it does not appear to be discharging
[06:13] <Iceheart> Anybody have any ideas?
[06:14] <Iceheart> anyone?
[06:14] <Iceheart> Really could use help here, if my laptop dies I don't have a backup computer atm...
[06:15] <Iceheart> Anyone?
[06:15] <hendaus> escott,  can i install the os from live cd but without deleting any of my important things ;ept on my hd?
[06:15] <Ben64> Iceheart: how do you know its not charging
[06:15] <blackshirt> :-)
[06:15] <Iceheart> Battery icon shows discharge
[06:15] <Iceheart> says in power management that it's discharging
[06:16] <Ben64> shutdown laptop, take out battery, turn back on
[06:16] <Ben64> :D
[06:16] <Iceheart> about an hour after I did the install, it stop charging all together and is now at 23%
[06:16] <Iceheart> ok I'll try it...
[06:16] <urgodfather> actionparsnip: is this right? www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilLIUJdP1hY
[06:17] <Ben64> urgodfather: thats a slightly strange way, but yes that should work
[06:18] <escott> hendaus, there are some ways to do that (see !clone for one part of that process) but its usually easier to rescue a working system. you are at the mercy of having a working livecd at the moment as your bootloader is not fully functional
[06:18] <urgodfather> ben64: whats strange about it? b/c the guy uses auto and defaults?
[06:18] <Ben64> because he copies the uuid from nautilus
[06:19] <urgodfather> ben64: ohh i see
[06:19] <JWFoxJr> escott: Thanks for the help earlier - took your suggestions on configuring the framebuffer, but after reboot X wouldn't start - do you have that link? I forgot to bookmark it
[06:19] <Ben64> "sudo blkid" in terminal lists all the UUID's
[06:20] <Iceheart> Unplugged the laptop, removed the battery and put it back in
[06:20] <Iceheart> Still not charging
[06:20] <Ben64> i meant turn the computer on with no battery
[06:20] <urgodfather> ben64: since one of my partitions is contained in a logical.... do i need to mount the logical /dev/sda2 also?
[06:20] <Ben64> it should work without one
[06:20] <Iceheart> oh
[06:20] <Iceheart> Hasn't before but ok lol
[06:21] <lordlimecat> does anyone have experience with ecryptfs?
[06:21] <Ben64> urgodfather: no you can't mount the logical
[06:21] <urgodfather> ben64: didnt think so, just wanted to make sure before i reboot
[06:21] <nubuntu> Hello, I am having a problem with NFS on mint12/ubuntuserver11, things seems to be working based on tests online in walkthroughs but when I do a exportfs -ra I get the error: exportfs: scandir /etc/exports.d: No such file or directory
[06:22] <escott> !log | JWFoxJr it wasn't my link
[06:22] <hendaus> escott,  ok another thing, my pc is freezing too much and i have not installed the nvidia driver
[06:22] <ActionParsnip> urgodfather: looks like a good how to, use UUIDs instead of raw device names.
[06:22] <escott> JWFoxJr, quiet enough channel its up at the top of my scroll window http://askubuntu.com/questions/6033/enabling-nvidia-driver-messes-up-splash-screen
[06:23] <JWFoxJr> escott: Thanks!
[06:23] <escott> hendaus, i dont have too much experience with nvidia
[06:24] <haylo> hendaus my ATI freezes when i run it with out the driver
[06:24] <nubuntu> anyone here know basic NFS config?
[06:25] <ActionParsnip> nubuntu: for server or client?
[06:25] <puff_> nubuntu: pretty sure there is step by step howtos
[06:25] <ActionParsnip> !nfs
[06:25] <const_antine> what's the difference between task (in tasksel) and package?
[06:26] <hendaus> haylo, where u got the driver from?
[06:26] <nubuntu> Action&Puff: FOllowed the walkthroughs, and things seem to be working as stated above, but get error above and google shows people in the last feww weeks with 3 or four posts with error but no replies to be an issue with Ubuntu
[06:27] <haylo> hendaus use "additional drivers" tool if you are using ubuntu
[06:27] <haylo> it should auto detect alot of propriatary drivers
[06:28] <hendaus> haylo,  i try from there and no activated for me
[06:28] <haylo> but look up your GPU make and research it a bit hendaus i am sure the maker of the gpu has a driver for it that may help you understand whats going on
[06:29] <puff_> which error are you seeing?
[06:29] <haylo> what is your GPU hendaus ?
[06:30] <hendaus> haylo whats that gpu?
[06:30] <haylo> it is the graphics processing unit
[06:31] <nubuntu> when I do a exportfs -ra I get the error: exportfs: scandir /etc/exports.d: No such file or directory, even though services start OK
[06:31] <haylo> it is the main type of product made by Nvidea
[06:31] <bartjr> was -e or --exec removed from nc (aka netcat)
[06:31] <puff_> mount.nfs: remote share not in 'host:dir' format
[06:31] <haylo> a video card hendaus
[06:32] <hendaus> haylo so whats yours?
[06:32] <haylo> mine is called ATI radeon mobility 5850 or something like that
[06:33] <haylo> it auto detects in the ubuntu additional drivers tool
[06:33] <puff_> 128.251.xxx.xxx:/var /home/coreyf/uslonsweb003 nfs rw,hard,intr, 0 0
[06:34] <puff_> 128.251.xxx.xxx:/var  /home/sadmicrowave/uslonsweb003  nfs rw,hard,intr 0 0 <-- proper
[06:35] <nubuntu> puff: Is that what the /etc/export looks like on the server side?
[06:36] <puff_>  //var *(rw,no_root_squash,sync,no_subtree_check)
[06:36] <puff_> should look like this /var         *(rw,sync,no_root_squash)
[06:38] <puff_> exportfs -av
[06:39] <nubuntu> trying now
[06:39] <puff_> edit fstab then mount -a
[06:39] <puff_> 128.251.xxx.xxx:/var  /home/sadmicrowave/uslonsweb003  nfs default 0 0
[06:40] <haylo> when i run lm-sensorsin ubuntu it is not detecting my gpu temp. but the crunchbang install on the same computer does with lm-sensors??!!
[06:40] <puff_> should clear it up
[06:40] <haylo> should i just run sensors-detect agian? or has anyone heard of this problem?
[06:41] <haylo> eh il figure it out myself
[06:42] <jason404> I have a ubuntu server where I cannot see lines in midnight commander, tree, and TUI interfaces in general. What is the problem with it? Unicode not set or something?
[06:42] <jason404> I get random ascii characters instead
[06:43] <tensorpudding> well, i guess it could be a corrupted ncurses library
[06:43] <tensorpudding> what kind of terminal is it?
[06:43] <tensorpudding> what is your shell?
[06:43] <jason404> I'm using putty from windows
[06:43] <tensorpudding> hmm
[06:43] <jason404> my debain server looks fine
[06:43] <tensorpudding> putty should be totally vt100 compatible
[06:44] <tensorpudding> but i guess it could be an issue with encodings then
[06:44] <jason404> well, it is only this particular server with this probem
[06:44] <tensorpudding> is your server doing utf8?
[06:44] <jason404> I don't know
[06:45] <tensorpudding> the locale command tells you all your localization stuff
[06:45] <tensorpudding> the part after the . is the character encoding
[06:45] <ActionParsnip> jason404: are you useing the latest putty?
[06:45] <tensorpudding> i don't know but i don't think you should have to set the encoding special in putty
[06:46] <tensorpudding> windows does not use utf-8, it uses utf-16, iirc, but that should not be an issue in mc
[06:46] <tensorpudding> or ncurses in general
[06:46] <tensorpudding> unless it thinks you're using those ibm style drawing thingamajigs that's part of the ISO set
[06:46] <jason404> ActionParsnip: yes. I am actually accessing this ubuntu server in a windows from tmux, which is running an ssh session on a debian server. could that be a factor?
[06:47] <upsla> Can anyone suggest me a working light parental control for ubuntu 11.10??
[06:47] <ActionParsnip> jason404: don't think so...
[06:47] <ActionParsnip> upsla: like for keeping kids off porn?
[06:47] <jason404> ActionParsnip: yeah, I just connected directly and I see the same problem
[06:47] <tensorpudding> upsla, there's the nanny project
[06:48] <jason404> locale says all utf-8
[06:48] <tensorpudding> but it was for gnome 2, it might not have been updated
[06:48] <upsla> ActionParsnip:yes
[06:48] <upsla> tensorpudding:it does not work
[06:48] <tensorpudding> last updated in may 2010, good chance that it is dead
[06:48] <ActionParsnip> upsla: http://www.liberiangeek.net/2011/03/parental-control-ubuntu-11-04-natty-narwhal/
[06:49] <ActionParsnip> upsla: hmm, not really content, more time allowing
[06:49] <tensorpudding> yeah, that's nanny
[06:49] <upsla> ActionParsnip:id does not work in ubuntu 11.10
[06:49] <tensorpudding> it's dead
[06:49] <tensorpudding> there might not be another solution
[06:49] <ActionParsnip> upsla: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/03/gnome-nanny-parental-control-takes-care.html
[06:49] <ActionParsnip> upsla: should be the same deal
[06:50] <tensorpudding> it's entirely probable that it won't work
[06:50] <tensorpudding> gnome 3 broke things
[06:50] <upsla> ActionParsnip:i asked or ubuntu 111.10 and it must be workable.
[06:50] <ActionParsnip> upsla: yes the package is the same..
[06:50] <pksadiq> upsla: wait a decade more for its release :)
[06:51] <upsla> ActionParsnip:sorry typo err :)
[06:51] <dadinck> hendaus: I had nvidia and Ubuntu 11.3 and it froze up all the time. I upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10 and it never freezes.
[06:51] <upsla> ActionParsnip:ya i know the package is same but it does not work
[06:51] <tensorpudding> generally speaking, it sounds like you want a filtering proxy
[06:52] <Docd> hi there, anybody here using gnome 3 fallback/classic mode?
[06:52] <ActionParsnip> upsla: or try dansguardian
[06:52] <ActionParsnip> upsla: http://www.instructables.com/id/Set-up-web-content-filtering-in-4-steps-with-Ubunt/?ALLSTEPS
[06:52] <ActionParsnip> Docd: omgubuntu has a hack tyo make Gnome3 look like Gnome2
[06:52] <dadinck> I am using gnome 3 classic. Things work better, so it seems.
[06:52] <tensorpudding> some kind of system that filters your internet traffic and redirects pages by a blacklist
[06:52] <Docd> ActionParsnip, thanks, but i already did that
[06:53] <Docd> problem is, alt-tab is really slow
[06:53] <tensorpudding> unfortunately finding one that is cross-platform and configurable will be hard, getting it to work with your network would be as hard
[06:54] <jason404> anybody have any ideas my font problem?
[06:54] <ActionParsnip> Docd: try changing alt-tab anim, or set the speed under ccsm to be faster
[06:55] <tensorpudding> and of course, there's the simple matter that you need a blacklist
[06:55] <ActionParsnip> Docd: as in, lees time to run
[06:55] <tensorpudding> but then again
[06:55] <Docd> ActionParsnip, i tried that, but i think compiz is not running
[06:55] <tensorpudding> do you trust some random company to come up with a blacklist for you?
[06:55] <Docd> probably due to the video drivers
[06:55] <Docd> or lack thereof
[06:56] <upsla> ActionParsnip:any GUi one??
[06:57] <tensorpudding> ah, danguardian looks pretty sane
[06:57] <tensorpudding> upsla, sorry, not likely
[06:58] <tensorpudding> upsla, this isn't really designed as a personal solution
[06:58] <upsla> ActionParsnip:so??
[06:58] <upsla> tensorpudding:so??
[06:59] <deerdancer> can anyone please post the contents of /etc/lsb-release.
[06:59] <tensorpudding> upsla, it's designed for corporate firewalls and such
[06:59] <upsla> tensorpudding:so it os no use to me then??.
[06:59] <tensorpudding> run by people who understand what a web proxy is and how to use one
[06:59] <zivester> anyone know how to extract multiple SOMEDIR*/*.rar into a destination.... `7z e SOMEDIR*/*.rar -o/DESTINATION` doesn't work
[07:00] <tensorpudding> upsla, it can do what you want, it just requires some know-how
[07:00] <upsla> tensorpudding:i lack that.
[07:00] <tensorpudding> well, i think it can do what you want
[07:00] <tensorpudding> you didn't say what you wanted
[07:00] <deerdancer> can anyone using ubuntu 11.10 please post the contents of /etc/lsb-release. my linuxmint repo update changed it, and i can't modify anything thence!
[07:01] <tensorpudding> what it does seems to be to filter websites based on heuristics and a blacklist
[07:01] <tensorpudding> it doesn't do program lockdown or surveillance
[07:01] <const_antine> where do i ask hardware related questions?
[07:02] <tensorpudding> so it's like a corporate firewall or the isp firewall of a censorship regime
[07:02] <const_antine> about pci bus
[07:02] <ActionParsnip> const_antine: if its hardware relating to the ubuntu OS, here. If its hardware in general then try ##hardware
[07:02] <const_antine> ok ty
[07:03] <ActionParsnip> upsla: just because there isn't a GUI to the filtering doesn't make the OS no good to you, it means you should learn to take on new challenges in life and try learn sometyhing new to better yourself.
[07:03] <tensorpudding> he left
[07:03] <tensorpudding> it's a decent point though
[07:04] <ActionParsnip> tensorpudding: I found this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=237355
[07:04] <tensorpudding> if dansguardian were under a less restrictive license it could probably be modified to be the backend of some kind of integrated solution
[07:04] <ActionParsnip> tensorpudding: took me like zero seconds
[07:04] <tensorpudding> it's from 2006
[07:04] <tensorpudding> it almost surely won't work
[07:04] <tensorpudding> and is likely to break things
[07:05] <tensorpudding> hmm
[07:05] <tensorpudding> though there's a codicil from 2010 with a link to a nascent project
[07:05] <tensorpudding> which is probably still nascent now
[07:07] <ActionParsnip> some people just need to not throw the towel i as soon as there is any sort of challenge/difficulty/something new
[07:08] <puff_> rofl exactly I have yet to see a problem we couldn't figure out
[07:09] <r4y> I have a question for anyone who has heard my problem before about my mp3 player
[07:09] <ActionParsnip> r4y: ask away
[07:09] <r4y> I opened configure wine and rca_mp3 is shown as D:
[07:09] <r4y> but
[07:09] <r4y> I can't get into it
[07:10] <r4y> so I did gksudo nautilus
[07:10] <ActionParsnip> r4y: does it not show in rhythmnbox etc?
[07:10] <r4y> it's empty
[07:10] <r4y> no
[07:10] <r4y> This is why I asked for someone who has heard my problem
[07:10] <Docd> well, can't find anything
[07:10] <r4y> Not that you don't understand things
[07:10] <ActionParsnip> r4y: what is the make and model of the device?
[07:10] <Docd> any idea how to configure the alt-tab speed?
[07:11] <Docd> not the compiz one, the standard one
[07:11] <r4y> th1814
[07:11] <r4y> well it's th1814wm-a but th1814 is easier to search on Google
[07:11] <ActionParsnip> r4y: or any other search engine ;)
[07:12] <tweet> I have some serious networking issues with 11.10 - 64 bit
[07:12] <urgodfather> ben64: ran into a booting problem but i got it working right now
[07:13] <r4y> Right, I like Google over say Bing because I thought Google has more results then Bing, Where as Bing is for selling or something like that. Search Engines for different results. Though the web is the web

[07:22] <tweet> Hello there - can any one help me solve the networking issues with 11.10 - I tried installing a new driver from leann ogasawara's ppa on Ubuntu forums
[07:27] <VIPER-II> tweet: u having problems installing the driver or u need help picking IP adresses etc?
[07:30] <oscalation> how do i increase the mouse pointer size in ubuntu 11.10?
[07:35] <AreEssay> Is it me, or does the latest version of ubuntu have terrible wireless support?
[07:35] <Sebastien> its bad
[07:37] <tweet> VIPER-II: Sorry for the delay.. I tried installing linux-backports-modules-net-3.0.0-14-generic  - and it blew up my machine..
[07:38] <VIPER-II> yikes....
[07:38] <VIPER-II> sorry mate. Can't help you with that one.
[07:38] <VIPER-II> I'm more of a network professional...
[07:38] <oscalation> it looks like there is no easy way to edit the mouse point size from ubuntu 11.10, can anyone confirm?
[07:39] <VIPER-II> not hardware/linux profesional.
[07:39] <oscalation> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/786325
[07:40] <ActionParsnip> oscalation: no setting in dconf or gnome tweak tool?
[07:40] <oscalation> Hey ActionParsnip, do you mind if i PM you?
[07:41] <ActionParsnip> oscalation: go ahead :-)
[07:42] <tweet> it would not restart.. I had to use the Lice CD to update grub2 and make it show the previous kernel versions - I am on 3.0.0-13 kernel now - the network still is urghh
[07:42] <tweet> Live CD - sorry not Lice
[07:42] <tweet> :)
[07:42] <tweet> it would not even start in recovery mode for 3.0.0-14
[07:42] <tweet> Is it only ethernet on ubuntu or wireless as well that's giving problems?

[07:44] <xhack> sup yall
[07:44] <bman> i heard ubuntu was getting bought by microsoft to become windows x
[07:44] <bman> thats a fucked up ripoff name
[07:44] <bman> windows x come on
[07:44] <ActionParsnip> Bman: its a lie
[07:44] <aBound> I highly doubt it Ubuntu uses the Linux kernel which is open source software.
[07:45] <aBound> Microsoft doesn't breath on free/open source software.
[07:45] <ActionParsnip> Bman: its also offtopic here. This is support only
[07:45] <bman> yeah the thing i heard was that they were just going to slap w32 gui on it
[07:45] <bman> like macosx style
[07:45] <bman> would you support it ActionParsnip ?
[07:45] <xhack> lmao bman damn str8
[07:45] <elky> bman, tell whoever told you that they're a troll and stop believing anything they say. meanwhile, this discussion is offtopic for this channel
[07:46] <ActionParsnip> Abound: i believe they helped get samba sorted but i could be wrong
[07:46] <bman> aww
[07:46] <ActionParsnip> Bman: do you have an ubuntu support question?
[07:46] <VIPER-II> question guys. If i play a movie in Ubuntu and i see that it is not playing fluently, is it for sure my VGA-card that is weak?
[07:46] <xhack> oh geez theres so much derp in this chan it hurts a real admins brain
[07:46] <bman> sure, how do you make the new gui go away
[07:47] <VIPER-II> does ubuntu automagically enable my VGA hardware acceleration?
[07:47] <aBound> ActionParsnip, It's a possibility but probably not. :P
[07:47] <elky> xhack, please take the time to review the channel guidelines linked in the channel topic.
[07:47] <bman> VIPER-II: depends on if your card is supported
[07:47] <urlin2u> http://www.zdnet.com/blog/open-source/microsoft-contributes-open-source-code-to-samba/9860
[07:47] <bman> take my time xhack, i have plenty of it
[07:47] <ActionParsnip> Bman: there is a guide on omgubuntu to make it look like gnome2, or simply install an alternative de like xfce
[07:47] <VIPER-II> ehh... bman what was that command again to see my videocard type in CommandLine of Linux?
[07:48] <xhack> plz take the time to kiss my azz
[07:48] <aBound> ActionParsnip, I can't say if you're using 11.10 but if you are do you experience your minimize/maximize and X buttons disappearing about your window?
[07:48] <aBound> Seems like a bug.
[07:48] <tweet> how to do this - You likely do not want to install this package directly. Instead, install the linux-backports-modules-net-generic meta-package, which will ensure that upgrades work correctly, and that supporting packages are also installed.
[07:48] <Mr_Queue> Oh this is a interesting night..
[07:48] <bman> ActionParsnip: you seen those new extensions for gnome3 that look like mozilla plugins page
[07:49] <bman> does that mean netscape won?
[07:49] <robde> hello, how can I check if the swap partition is working?
[07:49] <aBound> HA! With Linux you either have stability with old packages or instability with newer packages can't seem to have em both.
[07:49] <ActionParsnip> aBound: i don't use gnome desktop, unity or desktop effects. I don't have those issues as openbox is solid
[07:49] <dragonsl`> ..
[07:49] <Mr_Queue> robde: working?
[07:49] <xhack> plz take the time to kiss my azz
[07:49] <xhack> and dont try to kick me bitchez
[07:49] <robde> Mr_Queue: free returns this: Swap:            0          0          0
[07:49] <bman> aBound: you can install linux mint and have both
[07:50] <Mr_Queue> if you want to know if swap is working, get the machine swapped out...
[07:50] <ActionParsnip> aBound: I'm on precise pre release and its fine...
[07:50] <aBound> bman, Isn't Linux mint based on debian testing?
[07:50] <bman> yeah its what ubuntu said it was to begin with
[07:50] <Mr_Queue> robde: grab some kernel source code and run... 'make -j 256'
[07:50] <aBound> ActionParsnip, Precise is an LTS release. :P
[07:50] <bman> completely compatible with debian
[07:50] <ActionParsnip> Bman: mint isn't supported or discussed here
[07:50] <aBound> 10.04 LTS uses older packages but is stable.
[07:50] <bman> it just was
[07:50] <bman> im not supporting it
[07:50] <bman> just mentioning it
[07:51] <ActionParsnip> aBound: its still in alpha though..
[07:51] <robde> Mr_Queue: is this also possible without recompiling the kernel?
[07:51] <aBound> I like LTS 10.04 but firefox tends to crash with 9.0.1
[07:51] <Mr_Queue> robde: You're not 'recompiling' a kernel you're just compiling one...
[07:51] <bman> yeah firefox support is offtopic in here
[07:51] <aBound> ActionParsnip, I know but they do have daily builds.
[07:51] <bman> does suck tho
[07:51] <Mr_Queue> robde: It will never finish.
[07:52] <Mr_Queue> it will swap out as you run out of memory
[07:52] <glebihan> ActionParsnip, precise isn't supported or discussed here either ;)
[07:52] <ActionParsnip> aBound: yes but its officially unstable but runs fine here, just like all the other releases.
[07:52] <aBound> ActionParsnip, Other than that the alpha tends to continuously updates the system.
[07:52] <ActionParsnip> glebihan: gotcha
[07:52] <Mr_Queue> robde: So... Open a pair of shells, run it and watch it swap out and die.
[07:52] <bman> alpine should come with ubuntu
[07:52] <aBound> ActionParsnip, I had issues with software center running on Alpha.
[07:53] <ActionParsnip> aBound: its offtopic here ;-)
[07:53] <aBound> :P
[07:54] <Mr_Queue> robde: Why do you need the swap anyways?
[07:54] <bman> whats the best way to download and view porn using stock ubuntu?
[07:54] <bman> ftp and GET seem to work for me
[07:54] <bman> i still dont like transmissioo
[07:54] <Mr_Queue> curl my toes
[07:54] <aBound> Well, here's my issue anyway. Can I somehow fix these disappearing buttons on top of my xchat on 11.10 without logging off to get it back? http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/577/topbuttonsgone.png/
[07:55] <bman> hrmm aBound i have a form of xchat you chould use
[07:55] <robde> Mr_Queue: it's a very small vserver and it runs out of memory really fast. so a fried suggested to do something about the swap. I'm very new to this.
[07:55] <bman> but you would have to log out
[07:55] <bman> it supports magnet torrent links and xmmp and muc urls
[07:55] <bman> works on ubuntu
[07:55] <robde> Mr_Queue: 128m RAM
[07:55] <Mr_Queue> robde: If you're running out of memory having swap isn't going to save the server.
[07:55]  * bman keeps it on topic
[07:55] <ActionParsnip> Bman: there are flash downloaders for web browsers and you can download flash vids from the various sites I'm sure you know of
[07:55] <aBound> bman, Isn't xchat in general it does it for every window I open.
[07:56] <Mr_Queue> robde: You need more ram that's it... Or figure out what's eating it and fix that..
[07:56] <bman> nope
[07:56] <aBound> The buttons on top even in my file manager tend to disappear and the only way to get it back is by logging out of ubuntu.
[07:56] <bman> ActionParsnip: always helpful thanks much
[07:57] <bman> doesnt work on any urls like blah:blah except email
[07:57] <ActionParsnip> aBound: just press Alt+F2 and run: unity --replace     does that work?
[07:57] <luis46> Hi, new to ubuntu. cannot manage to install libdvdcss.so.2
[07:57] <Mr_Queue> robde: swap won't fix it.. It will hit swap, contact switches will stack up, the loads will hit 500 and you'll lose it to a reboot.
[07:57] <bman> luis46: get the non-free repo
[07:57] <bman> and get rid of US repos
[07:57] <luis46> Would there be someone to guide me , please?
[07:57] <bman> prolly
[07:58] <Mr_Queue> luis46: man -k problem
[07:58] <aBound> ActionParsnip, I'd be scared to run that I remember Compiz broken Unity last time. :P
[07:58] <bman> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs
[07:58] <ActionParsnip> robde: I'm guessing it uses sd ram which is hard to come by and/or expensive
[07:58] <bman> what do you know
[07:58] <bman> ubuntu can actually guide you in this case
[07:58] <aBound> ActionParsnip, I'll try it though.
[07:59] <bman> Be sure to take a look at the bottom of this message for a chance to win $50
[07:59] <ActionParsnip> aBound: you can always log off or reboot just as you are now and fix it...
[08:00] <aBound> I'll give the unity --replace a go.
[08:00] <aBound> ActionParsnip, it fixed it thankies.
[08:00] <aBound> :P
[08:00] <Mr_Queue> Be sure to take a look at the bottom of this message for a chance to win $50.... I see your $50 and raise you a free reboot
[08:00] <Enricodemedici> unix rulez
[08:01] <bman> hrmm how about we charge $50 for reboots
[08:01] <bman> we will restart your server, shine up the metal, clean out the caches and start your services $50
[08:01] <aBound> bman, I want 15%. lol
[08:01] <robde> Mr_Queue: but isn't swap exactly for a case like this where the system doesn't provide much RAM?
[08:02] <ActionParsnip> aBound: dumb stuff like that is why i don't use compiz/unity. So many annoyances for so little gain
[08:02] <Mr_Queue> robde: nope
[08:02] <Mr_Queue> robde: It's supposed to save it from a quick brush from death..
[08:02] <aBound> ActionParsnip, Compiz works flawlessly in 10.04 LTS.
[08:03] <aBound> But 11.10 is more bleeding edge.
[08:03] <ActionParsnip> aBound: not had an issue in lxde :-)
[08:03] <aBound> ActionParsnip, While using compiz?
[08:04] <theconfuzzed> hello
[08:04] <mmm4m5m> Hi all. A little help or advice please. There is small laptop (no CD drive) with ubuntu 10. I see "(initramfs)" prompt and some crash (call stack) above - looks related to mount hdd (ext4). What is the best I can do? I do not find many "recovery" tools inside initramfs (image)
[08:04] <theconfuzzed> is anyone in here familiar with using zenity?
[08:04] <ActionParsnip> aBound: i could but i prefer openbox
[08:04] <aBound> ActionParsnip, On my box not using it would be an issue in itself given my hardware is two weeks old.
[08:04] <theconfuzzed> i'm trying to do a file selection dialog, and its documented syntax for filters is "--file-filter=NAME | PATTERN1 PATTERN2" but no matter what i do I can't get it to list multiple filetypes
[08:05] <ActionParsnip> mmm4m5m: boot liveUSB and you can reinstate grub to the mbr
[08:05] <ActionParsnip> Abound: not using what?
[08:05] <aBound> Using the nifty effects compiz provides.
[08:07] <bman> did i win?
[08:07] <mmm4m5m> ActionParsnip: I was thinking ext4 fs is damaged somehow... If grub is the problem, I can edit manually probably?
[08:07] <ActionParsnip> aBound: openbox will run on nearly anything. Its one of the lighter WMs. I fail to see how new hardware makes that an 'issue'
[08:07] <mmm4m5m> I mean edit grub menu or give proper boot command?
[08:07] <Mr_Queue> robde: Ram is like a F-18 traveling at the speed of sound... disk (swap) is like a slug with a fast food problem. No joke. Add more ram.
[08:08] <glebihan> mmm4m5m, grub is not the problem, it is very likely a damaged file system
[08:08] <Intranick> every once in a while, on one of my computers (and that computer only) my desktop stops working after entering my password to unlock.  all it displays is the mouse and background
[08:08] <ActionParsnip> mmm4m5m: livecd can fsck the partition as it will be unmounted
[08:08] <glebihan> mmm4m5m, you could try booting on a live CD/DVD and running fsck
[08:08] <Intranick> if i go to a terminal and type in sudo service lightdm restart -- it will do the same thing, unless I reboot the computer
[08:08] <Intranick> anybody have any clue whats up?
[08:08] <mmm4m5m> ok, thanks a lot! live USB in this case - not CD in this laptop. Thanks again
[08:09] <melinate> hello all, I am having some trouble setting up 11.10 on a Toshiba Tecra M2 laptop.  The problem is that the screen is busted, so I have to use the external monitor.. Live CD worked, install worked, startup and shutdown show graphics on the monitor, but once unity loads the monitor doesn't receive a signal and I have to Ctrl-Alt-F1 to do anything useful....
[08:09] <robde> Mr_Queue: I don't care if its slow. but it shouldn't stop installing processes etc. because of insufficient memory
[08:09] <Mr_Queue> robde: You're on a VPS and hitting the bean counters then...
[08:10] <Mr_Queue> Pastebin the following..... cat /proc/user_beancounters
[08:10] <Mr_Queue> Not a dam thing you can do to fix that but upgrade.
[08:10] <aBound> ActionParsnip, Does openbox have compatibility with compiz?
[08:11] <glebihan> aBound, openbox is a window manager, so no
[08:11] <bman> no
[08:11] <Mr_Queue> robde: Don't really even need to pastebin it.. Look at the fail count. anything with *mem* in it and you'll know why..
[08:11] <ActionParsnip> robde: i suggest you use slitaz, tinycore or puppyLinux.
[08:11] <aBound> ActionParsnip, It'll be a waste for me not to use compiz and it's effects due to my nVidia 1.5GB GTX 580M.
[08:12] <ActionParsnip> aBound: why is it a waste?
[08:12] <bman> i would kill before giving up my compiz  fishtank behind my desktop
[08:12] <glebihan> aBound, how would it be a waste ?
[08:12] <aBound> glebihan, If openbox can't use compiz than it can't really utilize my card.
[08:12] <aBound> This laptop is a $2,000 machine.
[08:12] <glebihan> aBound, and ?
[08:13] <aBound> Using my nVidia 1.5GB GTX 580M without compiz is a waste due to the fact it won't be utilized.
[08:13] <glebihan> aBound, I'd rather have a really working system that doesn't use all my available resources rather than one that crashes regularly...
[08:13] <aBound> Seeing as I'm not a PC gamer the whole point of having the machine would be a waste in itself.
[08:14] <aBound> Because the video card isn't being used.
[08:14] <ActionParsnip> aBound: it will be utilized in gaming and video playback..
[08:14] <glebihan> aBound, if you don't mint, what's the point of such a machine anyway if you're not a gamer ?
[08:14] <aBound> I could careless about resources with 16GB it won't mean anything.
[08:14] <glebihan> s/mint/mind
[08:14] <Mr_Queue> bman: I chmod 1 your fish bro
[08:14] <aBound> Quad-Core 2.20Ghz processor who cares about resources.
[08:14] <ActionParsnip> aBound: if you aren't a gamer you have wasted your money
[08:15] <aBound> Not exactly it can that's why I stick to a GUI that can use compiz.
[08:15] <glebihan> aBound, so basically you're using compiz in order to justify having $2000 for your computer ?
[08:16] <ActionParsnip> aBound: openbox replacea compiz (in reply to you earlier question). So it is not compatible
[08:16] <aBound> glebihan, Mint what's the point it's the same thing as Ubuntu without the out of the box design goal.
[08:16] <kroonrs> melinate: I also have a laptop with a busted screen, but don't use unity. the problem may be that unity is booting into a higher resolution on your laptop than your external monitor supports (while the startup and shutdown resolutions are lower)
[08:16] <robin0800> aBound: gnome classic can use compiz
[08:16] <aBound> ActionParsnip, That's all I needed to know if it were compatible with compiz.
[08:16] <glebihan> aBound, that was a typo : I meant "if you don't mind"
[08:16] <ActionParsnip> aBound: mint isn't supported here
[08:17] <kroonrs> melinate: if you can find someway to reduce the resolution to something low like 1280x1024 or something and test that, then you might be able to get the external monitor to display
[08:17] <aBound> ActionParsnip, glebihan  was referring to mint so I replied to his sentence.
[08:17] <glebihan> aBound, except that I wasn't...
[08:17] <ActionParsnip> aBound: i think you mean 'comparable' not compatible
[08:17] <aBound> You did say if you don't mint I suggest you meant mind.
[08:18] <aBound> :P
[08:18] <melinate> kroonrs: good thought, but the monitor (1920x1080) in this case supports higher res than the laptop (1400x1050)
[08:18] <glebihan> aBound, yes and I corrected myself twice already ;)
[08:18] <ActionParsnip> aBound: so what do you use your system for if its not gaming?
[08:18] <aBound> Indeed, but beforehand. :P
[08:19] <melinate> kroonrs: I'm trying to set up an xorg.conf file now, to see if I can force anything to work...
[08:19] <melinate> I'm just not too familiar with it, so hoped someone here had some references or something ;)
[08:20] <VIPER-II> any ideas how to run Teamviewer as a service? Which starts with Linux?
[08:20] <aBound> ActionParsnip, I didn't buy it for gaming purposes. Didn't see the reason for it I was going to use compiz and a bunch of virtual desktops and use various apps at one time. But 11.10 has some instability issues. Nonetheless I should of asked If the graphics card for "Intel HD 3000" was compatible with compiz.
[08:20] <aBound> ActionParsnip, I wasn't expecting Linux to use such little RAM.
[08:20] <aBound> ActionParsnip, By the way wanted to future-proof my Linux box.
[08:21] <ActionParsnip> aBound: so you have a huge system and you web browse and email basically?
[08:21] <aBound> ActionParsnip, Nonetheless I tend to experiment here and there with vbox.
[08:21] <aBound> ActionParsnip, I said to use various apps other than the basic usage.
[08:21] <kroonrs> melinate: good luck - unfortunately, I won't be able to help with xorg.conf :(
[08:21] <aBound> Somewhat like vim and anything else I'm opted to grasp.
[08:22] <aBound> Or eclipse which is known to be heavy on RAM usage.
[08:22] <ActionParsnip> aBound: dude. I have old systems from 2003 that can run vbox and all the video playback you can need and today probably cost 50 quid..
[08:23] <Swathe> how's it handle 1080p?
[08:23] <aBound> ActionParsnip, I had an old system but was more of a family laptop and it did have overheating issues couldn't say if it were due to the heat sink or the power cord in itself.
[08:23] <bazhang> lets get back to ubuntu support please
[08:24] <aBound> It ran on 2GBs of RAM which wasn't crap but every time would overheat drove me nuts.
[08:24] <bazhang> !ot
[08:24] <ActionParsnip> Look at me in my Ferrari. Its super fast and super awesome and I drive it to the supermarket and back which is half a mile away
[08:24] <loin> can anyone help me make a bootable usb from a iso for ubuntu server?
[08:25] <melinate> kroonrs: thanks for the well wishes...  Hey, what do you know... I got it to show me the login
[08:25] <bazhang> loin from unetbootin ?
[08:25] <ActionParsnip> Loin: use unetbootin
[08:25] <aBound> ActionParsnip, a bit off-topic there isn't it. :P
[08:25] <loin> bazhang, didnt work
[08:25] <mash_> loin: unetbootin
[08:25] <loin> ActionParsnip, didnt work
[08:25] <bazhang> loin describe what did not work
[08:25] <loin> bazhang, i got boot error
[08:25] <ActionParsnip> aBound: its your pc in 2 sentences
[08:25] <aBound> ActionParsnip, Nothing wrong with having better things in your life.
[08:26] <melinate> (just used the "skeleton" xorg.conf  file from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config
[08:26] <ActionParsnip> Loin: can you expand on that please. It tells us nothing
[08:26] <bazhang> aBound, ActionParsnip lets compare computers in #ubuntu-offtopic please
[08:26] <aBound> ActionParsnip, I definitely should of gotten the cheaper machine though.
[08:26] <aBound> hehe
[08:26] <loin> thats all the laptop said "boot error" when it was supposed to show the splashscreen
[08:26] <ActionParsnip> Loin: did you md5 test the iso you downloaded
[08:26] <loin> yes ActionParsnip
[08:26] <bazhang> loin try to "reburn" also md5 the iso
[08:27] <loin> ActionParsnip, i also tried to dd it, that worked until the "loading files" screen where it said that no cdrom unit was found
[08:27] <aBound> bazhang, Understood.
[08:27] <ActionParsnip> Loin: which OS did you make the stick in?
[08:27] <loin> ActionParsnip, arch
[08:28] <ActionParsnip> Loin: are you intending to install a gui on the server or keep it text based as it should be
[08:28] <loin> ActionParsnip, text, of course
[08:28] <ActionParsnip> Loin: good lad :-)
[08:28] <loin> why would you need a gui for?
[08:28] <kroonrs> melinate: cool!
[08:29] <ActionParsnip> Loin: does arch have usb-creator or similar?
[08:29] <loin> ActionParsnip, i tried usb-creator which failed as well
[08:29] <ecchi> ..
[08:30] <ActionParsnip> Loin: seen too many people install server then a desktop metapackage. No idea why
[08:30] <melinate> kroonrs: looks crappy, but at least it is something... so now I can get it working "right" ;)
[08:30] <bullgard6> [Synaptic > description of  »streamripper«] Are the terms »online stream« and »radio stream« synonymous?
[08:30] <aBound> loin, What happens when you use Unetbootin?
[08:30] <ActionParsnip> Loin: does ram test as ok?
[08:31] <loin> ActionParsnip, i didn't bother trying it, im pretty sure their fine as its running arch without an problems
[08:31] <loin> aBound, as far as i recall i just get a black screen with "boot error" but i'm redumping the iso on the usb to check again
[08:32] <urgodfather> is anyone aroud in here?
[08:32] <urgodfather> im having trouble installing xbmc for some reason
[08:32] <aBound> loin, I noticed I had some issues with using a usb flash drive 2.0 and inserting it into a 3.0 usb port. But I fixed some unetbootin issues with using the 2.0 usb port and 2.0 flash drive by downloading a distro directly from using unetbootin.
[08:34] <loin> aBound, i don
[08:34] <almoxarife> urgodfather: check with these folk #xbmc
[08:34] <loin> aBound, i don't recall unetbootin having the option for ubuntu server on it
[08:35] <loin> aBound, ok, i redid unetbootin and i get blank screen with "\nBoot error\n" and the blinking cursor
[08:35] <aBound> loin, I can't say if it does but it does allow you to download various distros.
[08:36] <glebihan> loin, you can use any iso file with unetbootin
[08:36] <aBound> loin, I noticed there has also been some issues with older versions of ubuntu and unetbootin.
[08:36] <aBound> loin, Depending on the flash drive being used.
[08:37] <loin> glebihan, thanks
[08:37] <loin> aBound, well, i'll try usb-creator-gtk again
[08:37] <Humpkinz> hey guys, my laptop failed to boot up today (gpu died) and I switched it's hdd to my PC. They have almost different hardware (I got nvidia on laptop and radeon on PC, it also has different cpu), everything looks working except usb webcam and 3d accel
[08:37] <Humpkinz> can you tell me how to install radeon on it?
[08:41] <byerley> Hi, my updater seems to have corrupted itself at some point and now hardware drivers don't seem to be working (stuck in low-graphics mode). I've tried reinstalling the drivers without much luck, any suggestions?
[08:43] <aBound> byerley, Which version of ubuntu are you using?
[08:43] <alexxander> hi guys, i'm a newb with linux, trying to get boxee installed on xubuntu 11.10. first off, how i find out if i need 32 or 64 bit?
[08:43] <alexxander> and second- can i install direct through terminal?
[08:44] <melinate> alexxander: you need to know what hardware you have to know 32 or 64 bit, do you konw what CPU you have?
[08:44] <byerley> aBound: 10.04
[08:44] <alexxander> no ideea, bought this off ebay, struggling with linux to be honest!
[08:45] <aBound> byerley, Which video card are you using: ati, nvidia or onboard video?
[08:46] <codemonkey1337> Hi everyone, I was hoping I could get some help. I've asked for help on the forums but I've been getting really crappy relpies
[08:46] <glebihan> alexxander, did you install 32 or 64 bits version of ubuntu ??
[08:46] <alexxander> i didnt, the guy i bought it off was all "hey i installed linux for you"
[08:47] <glebihan> alexxander, open a terminal and run "uname -p". What does that show ?
[08:47] <VIPER-II> guys. Where in Ubuntu do i define which applications it should start automatically?
[08:47] <alexxander> i686
[08:47] <codemonkey1337> I'm having an issue with virtualbox and netflix, the video is kinda choppy. Anyway, what I did to "fix" this is increase my monitor framerate from 60hz to 75 hz and decreased the windows xp (guest OS) resouliton to 800x600. What else can I do to pick up the framerate in the guest OS?
[08:47] <glebihan> alexxander, then it's 32 bits
[08:48] <alexxander> cheers. any tips for boxee install?
[08:48] <codemonkey1337> I've tried googling and googling, but I can't find anything about increasing frame rate for a guest os in ANY virtualization software package!
[08:48] <byerley> aBoud: nvidia, the nvidia_current and nvidia_173 drivers show up but claim not the be in use (the actual card is GeForce G0 7900GS if it matters)
[08:48] <VIPER-II> -_-      nvm found it.  Had to ask in here before finding it.
[08:48] <mmm4m5m> glebihan: damage restored, this was fast. Thanks again.
[08:48] <glebihan> mmm4m5m, you're welcome
[08:48] <glebihan> alexxander, sorry, don't know what boxee is
[08:49] <melinate> VIPER-II: funny, I just found that too
[08:49] <alexxander> worldwide television streaming.
[08:49] <alexxander> no worries. google is pretty poor for finding linux related info.
[08:49] <byerley> aBound even
[08:49] <codemonkey1337> alexxander: dude are you talking to me?
[08:50] <aBound> byerley, Even? :P
[08:50] <alexxander> no, i'm trying to get boxee. pure coincidence your issue is with virtualbox
[08:50] <VIPER-II> melinate: yeah for some annoying reason you have to 'ask' the question first, look like an idiot, before your computer automagically shows you the answer.   :S
[08:50] <byerley> aBound:  nvidia, the nvidia_current and nvidia_173 drivers show up but claim not the be in use (the actual card is GeForce G0 7900GS if it matters) -- typoed your name, sorry
[08:51] <codemonkey1337> I guess my question is here, is it POSSIBLE TO increase the refresh rate in a guest OS under ANY virtualization sottware?
[08:51] <melinate> VIPER-II: been there on more than one occasion (only once so far tonight ;) )
[08:51] <VIPER-II> melinate: the night is still young.
[08:52] <VIPER-II> you're still on 6 januari, heh?
[08:52] <VIPER-II> 7 jan 09:52am here.... I'm from the future.    (weird feeling)
[08:52] <Seveas> VIPER-II, do they have hoverboards in the future?
[08:52] <melinate> I'm in 7 jan 12:52 am
[08:53] <aBound> byerley, Have you tried to open a terminal and run: sudo nvidia-xconfig than restarting X?
[08:54] <aBound> byerley, Or rebooting.
[08:54] <overclucker> codemonkey1337: have you already tried enabling 3d acceleration, and installing guest additions?
[08:54] <VIPER-II> hahah... i can tell you that the sun is coming up pretty nice at the moment. So i can only tell you that you will see some sun in the future.
[08:54] <aBound> byerley, By the way it may be best to grab the latest driver for your card.
[08:55] <codemonkey1337> overclucker: dude, first off COOL NAME. I've enabled 3d and 2d accel (that helps a bit), I don't really know what the guest addtions are, can you explain to me what they are and how to install them?
[08:55] <byerley> aBound: Yes. I don't mean to be rude, but if you're just googling I've tried everything I could find.
[08:55] <melinate> well crap... now I'm stuck on the purble Ubuntu  startup screen, and everything seems to be unresponsive...
[08:56] <aBound> hehe
[08:57]  * melinate just learned not to randomly change xorg.conf
[08:57] <codemonkey1337> overclucker: googling the guest additons
[08:57] <aBound> byerley, I would suggest removing the binary driver and than reinstalling it if you haven't done it. Or test the open source nvidia driver but you can also grab the updated nvidia drivers through a PPA.
[08:59] <overclucker> codemonkey1337: hostkey + d should download and mount guest additions on a running guest os
[08:59] <byerley> aBound: I'm not positive the underlying issue is the driver. The updater was throwing errors for the a while and then magically seemed happy around the time this started.
[09:00] <overclucker> codemonkey1337: guest additions are optimized drivers for virtualbox guests
[09:00] <r3za> hi , i have a hp laptop with ATI Radeon 6470 1GB DDR3 Graphic Chipset , i had several bug in ubuntu 11.10 , after that i got that suggestion to install catalyst 11.9 , after i install catalyst 11.10 , i got this error when i booting ubuntu , please help http://goo.gl/2j1nW
[09:00] <codemonkey1337> overclucker: Trying it
[09:01] <codemonkey1337> overclucker: Dude will this install an nvidia driver? Because I apprently can't install an nvidia driver in windows because my card isn't detected (I know it's emulated in the guest OS)
[09:02] <codemonkey1337> overclucker: okay dude, I installed it what do I do now?
[09:03] <r3za> hi , i have a hp laptop with ATI Radeon 6470 1GB DDR3 Graphic Chipset , i had several bug in ubuntu 11.10 , after that i got that suggestion to install catalyst 11.9 , after i install catalyst 11.10 , i got this error when i booting ubuntu , please help http://goo.gl/2j1nW
[09:03] <bindi> how can i connect to a server using ubuntu with unity?
[09:03] <aBound> byerley, If the drivers currently aren't in use does it appear that they're in use through hardware drivers?
[09:04] <codemonkey1337> overclucker: Okay dude I installed the guest addons and restarted and now the silverlight plugin keeps crashing!
[09:04] <r3za> hi , i have a hp laptop with ATI Radeon 6470 1GB DDR3 Graphic Chipset , i had several bug in ubuntu 11.10 , after that i got that suggestion to install catalyst 11.9 , after i install catalyst 11.10 , i got this error when i booting ubuntu , please help http://goo.gl/2j1nW
[09:04] <overclucker> codemonkey1337: since it's a virtual machine, the guest os won't be able to see your physical hardware, the best you can do is install drivers in the guest that work well with the virtualized hardware.
[09:05] <byerley> aBound: They show up as "activated but not currently in use" under the Hardware Drivers interface.
[09:05] <codemonkey1337> overclucker: Does that mean I can't get real 3d/2d acceration? is that whats casuing the sliverlight plugin to keep crashing?
[09:05] <aBound> byerley, I assume you tried the command I suggested previously before you got in here.
[09:06] <aBound> byerley, By the way if the driver is currently activated the driver may not necessarily be supported for your currently used video card.
[09:07] <[deXter]> codemonkey1337, You can, but not all functions are accelerated, so complex 3D stuff, say like the latest Crysis game will not work
[09:07] <[deXter]> However, older, simpler games like Quake III will
[09:07] <iceroot> its not a matter of "complex stuff" just a matter of native support
[09:08] <byerley> aBound: I had, I gave it another go but the config file didn't change at all
[09:08] <aBound> byerley, But than again the only way to verify that is checking if the older driver supports it even if it's supported it had to be configured. 10.04 LTS does have a few issues with new cards I can't say for older cards using the suggested command: sudo nvidia-xconfig. Fixed it for me with my new card on 10.04.
[09:08] <mnewton> hey whats a good website where I can take a poll on what activities people want to do?
[09:09] <aBound> mnewton, I think that's a bit off-topic. :P
[09:09] <iceroot> mnewton: can you be more specific? i guess you are talking about development-activities or support,translation and so on?
[09:09] <byerley> aBound: I know this driver has worked for me previously unless they change the binary without updating the name.
[09:09] <overclucker> codemonkey1337: there do seem to be a lot of people experiennceing this same problem with silverlight and the 3d experimental drivers
[09:10] <codemonkey1337> overclucker: dude I tried installing the drivers and enabling accelration and it crashed the plugin
[09:10] <mnewton> @iceroot - just in general, like where to go biking on a biking trip
[09:10] <iceroot> mnewton: that is offtopic here, please go to #ubuntu-offtopic with that
[09:10] <codemonkey1337> overclucker: netflix is still choppy , but it works without accelaraton enabled
[09:12] <byerley> aBound: Would a version update be likely to help? I've been avoiding Gnome3 like the plague in all honesty.
[09:12] <genjix> hey
[09:12] <aBound> byerley, A version update as in ubuntu or as in the nvidia driver?
[09:13] <genjix> how do i stop my system spamming my email? my email registrar complained that my system is spamming root@riseup.net
[09:13] <jiltdil> Any game better than Nexuiz in ubuntu?
[09:13] <byerley> aBound: unbuntu, sorry
[09:14] <aBound> byerley, I have some stability issues with Unity in general whereas the 10.04 LTS is far more stable. Given 11.10 is more bleeding edge and is probably based on Debian testing.
[09:14] <codemonkey1337> overclucker: dude, I enabled 2d accel but not 3d accel and it works WONDERFULLY
[09:14] <codemonkey1337> THANK YOU!
[09:14] <codemonkey1337> I'll update my post on the ubuntu forums
[09:15] <auronandace> jiltdil: define better, i like wesnoth (different genre to a fps)
[09:16] <byerley> genjix: generally you'd have to find the process sending the emails
[09:16] <jiltdil> auronandace,  is wesnoth like nexuz , means quality game, i want some fighting one
[09:16] <aBound> byerley, By stability issues I'm referring to 11.10 whereas compiz tends to break and unity tends to sometimes hide my top left window buttons.
[09:16] <auronandace> jiltdil: no, its a turnbased strategy
[09:16] <jiltdil> auronandace,  oh i need better fighting game than nexuiz :)
[09:17] <genjix> byerley: failed logins?
[09:17] <hilarie> Hello, I am trying to get a desktop going on my ubuntu vps, I apt-get install xubuntu-desktop, then when I go to startx, it tells me Fatal server error:xf86OpenConsole: Cannot open /dev/tty0 (No such file or directory) but when I look in /dev/ tty0 exists
[09:17] <auronandace> jiltdil: you still haven't defined "better"
[09:17] <auronandace> !best | jiltdil
[09:17] <aBound> byerley, I would say it's best to stick with the version you have. But that's depends on you. If you want the latest and greatest without the stability sure. But otherwise no.
[09:17] <jiltdil> auronandace,  in the sens of quality and complexity
[09:17] <liz> nick ATamira
[09:17] <liz> oops
[09:18] <codemonkey1337> THANK YOU GUYS, I'VE SPENT WEEKS TRYING TO FIX IT!
[09:18] <aperson> I checked mount on one of my systems, and ubuntu is no longer mounting /dev/shm as a tmpfs.  What happened?  I threw tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 in my /etc/fstab, but it's still not mounting it as a tmpfs
[09:18] <byerley> aBound: I really just want some terminals + vim + web browsing =/
[09:19] <aBound> byerley, Stick with what you have is more ideal but I'd say if you want to give 11.10 a run you can always try it.
[09:19] <aBound> Seeing as 11.10 will have new packages for the latest software.
[09:19] <auronandace> !games | jiltdil
[09:20] <byerley> rebooting~
[09:20] <jiltdil> auronandace,  thanks a lot :)
[09:21] <aBound> byerley, Ubuntu 10.04 LTS provides stability without the latest packages whereas Ubuntu 11.10 provides the latest and greatest without the stability.
[09:21] <auronandace> aBound: 11.10 is pretty stable for me
[09:21] <aBound> byerley, Ubuntu 11.10 might also install a newer version of your nvidia binary driver.
[09:21] <aBound> auronandace, Hasn't been so far for me.
[09:22] <AreEssay> wireless is a piece of crap on 11.10
[09:22] <aBound> auronandace, Probably cause I'm using Unity. :P
[09:22] <auronandace> aBound: oh yeah, i'm using xfce
[09:22] <aBound> auronandace, When I change a few compiz settings compiz breaks.
[09:22] <aBound> Unity breaks**
[09:23] <auronandace> aBound: i've always found compiz itself to be rather buggy
[09:23] <aBound> auronandace, Worked flawlessly on 10.04 LTS.
[09:23] <aBound> But than again Unity is still a bit new.
[09:23] <codemonkey1337> guys, I have a question for you all. Is it possible to install GNOME2 on the new versions of ubuntu 11.10 and 12.04 LTS when it comes out?
[09:23] <anonymous229> hello
[09:24] <auronandace> !gnome2 | codemonkey1337
[09:24] <anonymous229>  i just made upgrade ubuntu 11.04  to 11.10
[09:24] <anonymous229> and there is problem with skype icon
[09:24] <anonymous229> in applet
[09:24] <anonymous229> anyone know what to do ? :(
[09:25] <codemonkey1337> ubottu: okay so you're saying it's not possible to hack the OS into using it and forcing the installation of older packages made for previous versions of the opearting systems?
[09:25] <aBound> annoymous229, In what way it isn't appearing?
[09:26] <anonymous229> there is no icon in notification area
[09:26] <anonymous229> i tried to find way to fix it on google
[09:26] <anonymous229> but nothing
[09:27] <codemonkey1337> auronandace: okay so you're saying it's not possible to hack the OS into using it and forcing the installation of older packages made for previous versions of the opearting systems?
[09:28] <aBound> anonymous229, Possibily the notify icon exist within Skype's options?
[09:28] <anonymous229> i dont know , but i think no
[09:28] <anonymous229> i can't enter in skype options right now
[09:28] <anonymous229> because i minimalized it
[09:28] <GhostWolf> hi all. i've come across an issue, it happened before but i don't remember how to fix it, the problem is i have a brand new hard drive and when i try to install ubuntu on that hard drive it gives me an error can't remember the error like there is no partition or anything. even in windows it hasn't shown up as a drive. it is reconized in bios tho but i don't know what i need to do can someone please help thanks
[09:28] <anonymous229> and now its not possible to run skype again
[09:29] <anonymous229> i've to  close opened skype but i can't do it because there is no icon in notification applet
[09:29] <overclucker> codemonkey1337: take a look at gnome fallback
[09:30] <aBound> anonymous229, You tried logging out and logging back in for Ubuntu?
[09:30] <GhostWolf> anonymous229, try restarting but i don't know the issue you having besides that
[09:30] <anonymous229> i'll try but i  think it wont help
[09:31] <codemonkey1337> overclucker: Is that the "classic" version of gnome in ubuntu 11.10? If so, I tried it and hated it, there was no point in me using it because I hated the interface, and it didn't have the sticky windows on the side pannels things
[09:32] <loin> can anyone help me?
[09:32] <codemonkey1337> overclucker: so dude, is it possible to install gnome2 on 11.10 and have it work if I force the package to install or not
[09:32] <overclucker> !notunity | codemonkey1337
[09:33] <loin> i used usb-creator to make a bootable usb  and the pc says "this is not a bootable disk. Please insert a bootable floppy and press any key to try again . . ."
[09:33] <codemonkey1337> I don't want the gnome fallback!
[09:33] <theconfuzzed> greets everyone
[09:33] <overclucker> codemonkey1337: it's not the samee as classic
[09:33] <theconfuzzed> does anyone know what the "print to file" option available throughout ubuntu uses as a backend?
[09:34] <Abhi_> fglrx-updates not working in gnome3
[09:34] <codemonkey1337> well thanks anyway guys, I'll just google it and see if I can find a hack to make it work
[09:34] <aBound> loin, Is this when you rebooted the system if so is the BIOS set to boot from the flash drive.
[09:34] <Abhi_> how to fix this?
[09:34] <theconfuzzed> i want to use it in a bash script
[09:34] <loin> aBound, exactly
[09:34] <byerley> aBound: I feel silly. Manually changing the driver field of the config file from "nvidia" to "nvidia_173" did the trick. No idea how it got fubbared in the first place though.
[09:34] <Abhi_> after i install fglrx-updates and reboot pc, only a black screen appears
[09:34] <Abhi_> not even log in screen coming
[09:35] <aBound> byerley, Glad you fixed the issue. :P
[09:35] <anonymous229> ok thanks i found problem
[09:35] <sattu94> theconfuzzed: I think, it depends on the application itself. Some applications supprot printing to multiple formats, while others only support postscript and pdf.
[09:35] <Abhi_> someone plz help
[09:35] <anonymous229> after relog i opened skype again
[09:35] <aBound> anonymous229, Yay...
[09:35] <anonymous229> then in options i found something like " use minimalized option "
[09:35] <anonymous229> and it works now , thanks :P
[09:35] <aBound> :P
[09:36] <sattu94> theconfuzzed: also, you can try redirecting the whole thing to a file like,  "command > file_name", it might just work out.
[09:36] <theconfuzzed> sattu94 i have a program that drives a multifunction printer's fax machine (so that you can print from your computer and have it go out over the mfp's fax), but it only accepts postscript files
[09:36] <aBound> loin, So the BIOS is set to boot from the flash drive in the first order of the boot sequence I presume.
[09:36] <theconfuzzed> so what i'm doing is writing a script that will convert anything that can be printed to .ps
[09:37] <VIPER-II> Anyone has any experience running Teamviewer under Ubuntu?
[09:37] <sattu94> theconfuzzed: so you want to mass convert to postscript.
[09:37] <byerley> now... If I could just get chromium to stop overwriting my chrome versions of flash and pdf everytime it updates =/
[09:37] <loin> aBound, nope, i just boot menu'ed it '
[09:38] <theconfuzzed> sattu94, yes. i'm working with pdf files right now, which you'd think (since they're basically postscript with some extra info) they'd be easy to convert, but using pdf2ps or pdftops they come out horrible
[09:38] <melinate> VIPER-II: I have used TeamViewer to support my Mom's computer, but I have only been able to get it to work by her clicking on it when she needs help (no service to allow remote admin)
[09:38] <aBound> loin, giving you errors eh.
[09:38] <trijntje> Hi all, I have installed texlive-full, and want to switch to texlive-base, which is a subset of -full. Is there a smart way to only remove the packages that are in -full, and keep those that are in -base?
[09:39] <loin> yep
[09:39] <theconfuzzed> ideally what i'd like to do is set up a dummy printer -- just like the print to file thing -- that would just save whatever is sent to it to a .ps file
[09:39] <theconfuzzed> that's one part
[09:39] <theconfuzzed> but the other part is to be able to convert a lot of different file types to .ps so that they can go out over the fax
[09:40] <aBound> loin, What was the error posted for it again?
[09:41] <loin> this is not a bootable disk. Please insert a bootable floppy and press any key to try again . . .
[09:41] <Mr_Queue> what did  you hose?
[09:42] <sattu94> theconfuzzed: this is more than what a bash script could easily handle..You might want to look into perl or maybe ask on #bash..
[09:43] <theconfuzzed> sattu94, i'm not having any trouble doing anything except converting the files. i'm using zenity to do all the file selection and GUI stuff
[09:43] <sattu94> theconfuzzed: oh. Good luck then.. :)
[09:44] <theconfuzzed> just need to figure out the back end of that print to file thing
[09:45] <aBound> loin, Haven't tried changing the BIOS yet to boot from the flash drive yet? I remember you used start up disk creator I know it has a few known bugs for creating iso's for Debian. If you use a 3.0 USB port with a 2.0 flash drive it won't work I know hmm...
[09:46] <aBound> loin, This is for Ubuntu 10.04 right?
[09:46] <loin> aBound, 11.10, it doesnt work, the only thing that works is dd and that only works uo until the point of "loading installer compononents from cd-rom"
[09:46] <loin> it fails to understand that its not in the cd rom
[09:47] <Abhi_> plz someone inform me how to get fglrx working under gnome3?
[09:47] <Abhi_> i installed fglrx-updates and finished up with only black screen
[09:48] <loin> Abhi_, wait until ati developpers finish fixing important stuff
[09:48] <loin> then they'll have time for less important stuff
[09:48] <aBound> Abhi_, I know gnome-shell uses mutter and can't use compiz.
[09:49] <Abhi_> aBound: hmm, not even log in screen is coming after install fglrx-updates
[09:49] <aBound> loin, I'm stumped I can't think what it might be.
[09:49] <Abhi_> aBound: it's only a black screen
[09:49] <aBound> Abhi_, Proprietary drivers are known to have issues over open source ones.
[09:50] <Abhi_> aBound: then what should i need to do?
[09:50] <anonymous229> again same with skype :/
[09:50] <Abhi_> aBound: currenly i fall back to opensource one
[09:50] <Abhi_> aBound: uninstalled restricted one
[09:50] <loin> aBound, i can, this used to happen to debian long time ago, it expects to find a cd rom but since there is no cd rom it fails, in debian this could be fixed after the "failed to copy from cd-rom" there was a field "manually enter source drive" where you could just /dev/sdb but here it wont do it
[09:51] <devians> hey, i installed php5 from a ppa on my lucid box. through continual issues i decided it simpler to update. i'm now on maverick, and i cant seem to remove the ppa from the package management system. ie i can install php5 fine, but php5-fpm fails due to a broken dependency pointer to the ppa version
[09:51] <aBound> Abhi_, I'm not saying not to use the binary driver but we'll have to gather information on how to go about fixing it.
[09:51] <aBound> Abhi_, By the way if you want those nifty effects compiz isn't compatible with gnome-shell.
[09:52] <aBound> loin, No such existance in ubuntu?
[09:52] <Abhi_> aBound: i actually need restricted one for wine, wine can't render windows applications under gnome3 with opensource driver
[09:52] <Abhi_> aBound: distorted graphics
[09:52] <loin> aBound, sadly, no
[09:53] <aBound> Abhi_, Before you installed the driver did you check if it were supported by your card?
[09:53] <devians> how can i purge the reference to the ppa from my system?
[09:53] <devians> ppa-purge fails, btw
[09:53] <Abhi_> aBound: yes, i already used that driver before, under ubuntu 11.04
[09:53] <hydruid> devians: how about sudo apt-get fix missing command?
[09:53] <Abhi_> aBound: it was working flawlessly there
[09:54] <devians> fix missing command?
[09:54] <Abhi_> aBound: problem starts with gnome3
[09:54] <devians> hydruid im not sure what you mean
[09:54] <hydruid> devians: yes google it u will find it
[09:54] <[deXter]> devians, remove the ppa from your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/  then do a dist-upgrade; that will sync your version numbers to the rest of the repos you have on your system
[09:54] <aBound> devians, If you're using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS click on software center and click on edit next go the the second tab next to the first tab.
[09:55] <devians> aBound no gui
[09:55] <aBound> Ahh...
[09:55] <hydruid> devians: sudo apt-get update --fix-missing
[09:55] <aBound> Abhi_, Every new version of Ubuntu always had it's bugs.
[09:55] <Abhi_> aBound: even ATI restricted driver not woking under Fedora 16 as well, it's also gnome3
[09:56] <Abhi_> aBound: seems only gnome3 has that issue
[09:56] <hydruid> devians: and possibility sudo apt-get -f install
[09:56] <aBound> Abhi_, Could be a related gnome-shell issue.
[09:57] <aBound> Abhi_, Linux as far as I know has better support for nvidia cards.
[09:57] <Abhi_> aBound: i have a ATI mobility Radeon HD 4250 card, using laptop
[09:58] <Abhi_> aBound: ATI restricted driver working for kubuntu though
[09:58] <aBound> Abhi_, Using the latest version of Ubuntu I presume. Have you tried Unity or just gnome-shell.
[09:58] <mongy> I use an ati hd4650hd with fglrx in xubuntu, works flawless
[09:58] <Abhi_> aBound: yes, ubuntu 11.10, only gnome-shell, no unity
[09:58] <aBound> Abhi_, Kubuntu uses KDE whereas Ubuntu uses Unity and unity uses the compiz plugin if you want 3D acceleration but also uses Unity 2D.
[09:58] <devians> [deXter] i removed the files and did a dist-upgrade, hydruid i did the fix missing and tried install with -f, still says it has the unmet dependency
[09:59] <devians> any other ideas?
[09:59] <Abhi_> aBound: i don't actually like unity much, i'm using gnome-shell
[09:59] <hydruid> pastebin the entire message plz
[09:59] <[deXter]> @ devians ^
[10:00] <devians> http://pastebin.com/tdpbZeHX
[10:00] <aBound> Abhi_, I know nobody really does I don't mind it. Well I can't say for certain if it's a GUI related issue or a driver issue.
[10:00] <hydruid> devians: wrong command
[10:01] <hydruid> devians: sudo apt-get -f install
[10:01] <hydruid> devians: and thsts it no package name
[10:01] <Abhi_> aBound: i actually need that for wine issue, no other problem though
[10:02] <aBound> Abhi_, I can't say if this will work. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/FglrxInteferesWithRadeonDriver#Problem%3a__Need_to_fully_remove_-fglrx_and_reinstall_-ati_from_scratch
[10:02] <devians> hydruid well php-fpm doesnt exist but php5-fpm at least gives me that broken dependency, although im stumped as to where and how its still pointing there?
[10:02] <VIPER-II> I'm trying to get teamviewer to startup in the "system / preferences / startup applications" menu. But i dunno how to figure out which 'command line' to start Teamviewer.  Any ideas?
[10:02] <hydruid> devians: sudo apt-get -f install, did u try this?
[10:02] <[deXter]> VIPER-II, it's just "teamviewer"
[10:02] <devians> i did, same thing
[10:02] <Abhi_> aBound: thanks for link, checking
[10:03] <VIPER-II> oh
[10:03] <hydruid> devians: without specifying the package name?
[10:03] <devians> i did
[10:03] <VIPER-II> then why isn't it starting when i write it in 'ssh' manualy then?
[10:03] <aBound> Abhi_, No problem.
[10:04] <devians> sorry, i could be clearer. yes, i ran the command without the package name
[10:04] <[deXter]> devians, Well for now I suggest removing php5-fpm php5-common and other related php packages
[10:04] <[deXter]> you can re-install them from the official repos later on
[10:05] <ilter_> Hello i've a problem could you help? I use external monitor for my laptop. When i don't make any activity on Ubuntu, it suspend itsellf. Then i come again and press power button to continue my activities. But screen doesn't show anything. How can i fix it?
[10:05] <Abhi_> aBound: it saying about purging fglrx, i already did that
[10:05] <devians> [deXter] ok i ran remove across everything, should i attempt another install?
[10:05] <devians> or do something in the meantime?
[10:06] <Abhi_> aBound: now using opensource driver, but i need to get fglrx working
[10:06] <aBound> Abhi_, Above the sentence is saying to purge it below is saying to completely remove it and reinstall it from scratch.
[10:06] <ViperXL75> sorry... disconnected. i hope u didnt write enything else Dexter
[10:06] <[deXter]> devians, just remove those php packages for now, and then do an apt-get autoremove and clean
[10:06] <overclucker> VIPER-II: teamviewer isn't capable of starting with the system, as it requires a logged in xsession
[10:07] <Guest89803> can any one help w i am haveing with ubuntuith a issue
[10:07] <devians> [deXter] ok done, anything else?
[10:07] <bazhang> Guest89803, what issue
[10:07] <[deXter]> devians, autoremove and clean
[10:07] <ViperXL75> dexter it worked. Thanks mate
[10:07] <devians> i said, done, anything else?
[10:07] <[deXter]> thats it
[10:07] <[deXter]> ViperXL75, cool :)
[10:07] <Guest89803> i dont like the new gui i got after update
[10:07] <ViperXL75> overclucker it doesn't have to start as a service. i'm happy enough that it starts after login in.
[10:08] <sunniboi> hell good morning ehat must id o her ? [FYI] / etc/apache2/conf.d/gallery ist ein Link auf / etc/gallery2/apache.conf   I'm just not there more, I'm building a gallery of images on server! Is this a hint or what to do?
[10:08] <bazhang> Guest89803, which one? unity?
[10:08] <ViperXL75> dexter: funny how sometimes the most difficult things are possible by just simply 1 command.  :D   Went looking for the path.. script... bla bla bla... lol
[10:09] <sunniboi> hello
[10:09] <aBound> Abhi_, Haven't a clue could be various issues within the driver itself but may need to be configured properly.
[10:09] <Guest89803> natty narwal or some thing like that in this gui i dont even know were to look for the name of it but i can try to look if u like
[10:09] <oCean> sunniboi: it's not very clear what your issue is. You can use German chat in #ubuntu-de
[10:09] <Abhi_> aBound: so far i learn that ATI restricted driver has some issues with gnome-shell
[10:10] <bazhang> Guest89803, what does lsb_release -a say from the terminal
[10:10] <Abhi_> aBound: so suggestion said that i need to stay with opensource driver (gallium)
[10:10] <aBound> Abhi_, Well I know gnome-shell is still new and actively developed so figures it's still in it's beta transition.
[10:10] <overclucker> ViperXL75: have you considered using rdp?
[10:11] <ViperXL75> overclucker: yeah, but i'd need to setup port-forwarding... connection isn't encrypted etc.
[10:11] <Guest89803> 11.04 natty
[10:12] <bazhang> Guest89803, and what is the gui you don't like, what have you selected in the login window
[10:12] <sunniboi> The problem is I do not know what to start with this clue [FYI] / etc/apache2/conf.d/gallery is a link to / etc/gallery2/apache.conf should I laughed it left or is it a clue
[10:13] <oCean> !de | sunniboi
[10:13] <oCean> sunniboi: it's really not clear what you are talking about
[10:13] <sunniboi> excuse me what language I speak now?
[10:14] <oCean> sunniboi: your question/issue is not clear, please elaborate (context, details etc)
[10:14] <sunniboi> ok
[10:14] <Guest89803> bazhang ubuntu
[10:15] <bazhang> Guest89803, what gui are you talking about Ubuntu is not a gui
[10:15] <ilter_> Hello i've a problem could you help? I use external monitor for my laptop. When i don't make any activity on Ubuntu, it suspend itsellf. Then i come again and press power button to continue my activities. But screen doesn't show anything. How can i fix it?
[10:15] <devians> [deXter] that seems to have done it, thankyou very much for your help
[10:16] <[deXter]> devians, glad it worked
[10:17] <anonymous229> http://www.webupd8.org/2011/05/skype-ubuntu-messaging-menu-notifyosd.html
[10:17] <anonymous229> better than nothing

[10:19] <aithox> hi i'm sure that i've installed the correct nvidia dirver... but it doen't work (ubuntu 11.10 : nvidia GT 520M : Acer)
[10:19] <aBound> aithox, Did you check your additional drivers section to see if it's activated?
[10:20] <anonymous229> there is a lot bugs in 11.10 :/
[10:20] <anonymous229> 10.04 is much better
[10:20] <aithox> it's not activated..
[10:20] <Guest89803> bazhang the home screen i cant think of any other way to put it i upgraded from a later ver of ubuntu and kinda new to linux    ok better way to do this how would i go about down grading to a perves verison
[10:21] <[deXter]> Guest89803, On the login screen you should be able to see a settings icon, from which you should be able to choose a different desktop environment.. try Gnome Classic
[10:21] <aithox> i had to set " no mode set " on installation..
[10:22] <Guest89803> dexter ok thanks i will try that
[10:23] <aithox> is there an alternative dirver?
[10:23] <aithox> to download
[10:23] <aithox> i got that from nvidia.com
[10:23] <[deXter]> O.o
[10:23] <[deXter]> you aren't supposed to install random stuff from random sites; this isn't windows
[10:23] <[deXter]> certainly not for drivers anyways

[10:51] <kevor> When I setup a wireless connection (for computers to connect to) with Ubuntu 11.10, it works without encryption, but with WPA, it does not work. Any idea what the problem might be?
[10:52] <ViperXL75> for some stupid reason my Ubuntu machine keeps defaulting back to the resolution of 1368xblablabla instead of 1920xblablabla.  Cuz it's "preferred" on 1368. How do i tell ubuntu to stop messing around and keep 1920 as default setting?
[10:53] <xgt001>  hello , what's the difference between xv video output vs gl video output? which is better? any pointers?
[10:55] <almoxarife> xgt001: if your system can handle the gl without intermittent crashing use it, its faster

[11:42] <oCean> SVNDR: Unfortunately, there are several open bugs for overheating laptops, such as bug 751689 - You can install lm-sensors package to get/discplay some more information on temperature, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto
[11:42] <PhoenixSTF> SVNDR, http://www.jupiterapplet.org/

[11:47] <trijntje> why does the software center show that the game Ryzom is released under GPL, while their terms of use forbid all republishing?

[11:55] <lotuspsychje> !info eidete
[11:58] <almoxarife> zgr: not sure what 'it' is , am sure you need nvidia-current and you should get the ppa that keeps nvidia updated

[12:25] <overmind> new guy... dumb question :/

[12:27] <Milossh> is there any way to make terminal show username and current folder in fedora-style?
[12:27] <Francua> simple question guys, is there a way to start terminal maximazed?
[12:28] <Francua> fullscreen
[12:29] <eXpander> Francua, depends on what kind of WM you use
[12:29] <Milossh> Francua, if it's gnome-terminal, then change shortcuts to: gnome-terminal --window --maximize
[12:30] <lotuspsychje> pretty handy for browsing on links2 Francua
[12:31] <makara> SVNDR: lspci
[12:33] <SVNDR> makara: if i pastebin the output would u be able to tell me what the chipset is? lol i wont be able to find it
[12:35] <makara> SVNDR: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family ??
[12:35] <Francua> ty works perfectly ))
[12:35] <lotuspsychje> SVNDR: did you doublecheck your BIOS settings for overheating?
[12:35] <SVNDR> makara: Intel Corporation Mobile PM965/GM965/GL960 Memory Controller Hub (rev 03)
[12:36] <SVNDR> lotuspsychje: yep, nothing in there for controlling fans, or cpu freq
[12:36] <lotuspsychje> SVNDR: are you sure its overheating and not system freeze?
[12:36] <SVNDR> lotuspsychje: well its overheating thats for sure.. whats system freeze?
[12:37] <almoxarife> SVNDR: did you remove acpi support?
[12:37] <lotuspsychje> SVNDR: what Os came default with your lenovo?
[12:37] <makara> Lenovo, oh crikey
[12:37] <SVNDR> lotuspsychje: windows vista..
[12:38] <almoxarife> SVNDR: or perhaps overclock?
[12:38] <SVNDR> almoxarife: no, i wouldnt even know how..
[12:38] <SVNDR> almoxarife: maybe?
[12:38] <HSarena> Hi! I need to start a program with wine but it shows "wine: Install the Windows version of Mono to run .NET executables". WHAT IT MEANS???
[12:38] <lotuspsychje> SVNDR: some laptops/netbooks need networking 'enabled' in BIOS to not crash in ubuntu
[12:38] <SVNDR> HSarena: fine the .exe file, right click on it, go to open with, and then select wine
[12:38] <almoxarife> SVNDR: maybe? did you forget to mention that nugget?
[12:38] <oCean> HSarena: for help with wine, /join #winehq channel
[12:39] <makara> is it Pangolin when Banshee  and .NET support get removed?
[12:40] <SVNDR> lotuspsychje: theres nothing in the bios about that either.. ive read through 50 pages in the last 5 days about this and cannot fix it.. my computer doesnt crash, it just gets really hot
[12:40] <SVNDR> almoxarife: ive tried throttling my cpu aslow as possible, doesnt help.. unless you know a better way?
[12:40] <lotuspsychje> SVNDR: did it overheat in vista too?
[12:41] <makara> SVNDR: I had a Toshiba with a fan that wouldn't shut up. Tried installing all sorts of fan control software and nothing worked
[12:41] <SVNDR> lotuspsychje: nope, vista it ran pretty damn cool, slight bit of warmth, but nothing really
[12:41] <SVNDR> makara: yea, seems to be how its happening for me, though i have read that 11.10 has a bug in the kernel, so many different solutions, none work
[12:42] <lotuspsychje> SVNDR: did you clean install or update to ocelot?
[12:42] <SVNDR> lotuspsychje: clean install
[12:43] <almoxarife> SVNDR: which process is taking up the most cpu time? look
[12:43] <lotuspsychje> SVNDR: anything to find in ubuntu logs?
[12:43] <almoxarife> SVNDR: system monitor
[12:44] <SVNDR> almoxarife: at the moment from running 'top' i see Xorg taking up 6%, but thats on and off
[12:44] <SVNDR> lotuspsychje: how would i check the logs?
[12:44] <lotuspsychje> SVNDR: /var/log
[12:45] <SVNDR> lotuspsychje: file doesnt exist?
[12:45] <lotuspsychje> syslog.1 in /var/log
[12:46] <SVNDR> almoxarife: actually at the moment in system monitor, gnome-system-monitor is taking up about 30-50%
[12:46] <lotuspsychje> SVNDR: did you install all drivers successfully too in ocelot? like graphics drivers?
[12:47] <SVNDR> lotuspsychje: syslog.1 also doesnt exist lol.. um im not sure one ocelot is?
[12:48] <lotuspsychje> SVNDR: try das home button and search logs
[12:48] <lotuspsychje> dash
[12:49] <SVNDR> lotuspsychje: nah nothing there either..
[12:49] <lotuspsychje> hmmm
[12:49] <makara> image viewer crashes X11 when I view a pic 6640x8837. It won't uninstall without taking Gnome with it. How do I set Shotwell as the default?
[12:49] <almoxarife> SVNDR: that number seems high
[12:50] <SVNDR> almoxarife: yea but thats only why System Monitor is running.. other then that everything is either sleeping, or below 10%
[12:51] <makara> sysmon gobbles between 8% and 48% on my i5
[12:52] <almoxarife> SVNDR: that is still high, what other gnome process have high values?
[12:53] <SVNDR> almoxarife: none other then that one
[12:54] <akpk> Chances for Virus at Ubuntu.....??
[12:54] <almoxarife> akpk: very slim
[12:54] <makara> SVNDR: what the problem again?
[12:54] <quiescens> uncommon as a result of expected userbase, at least
[12:54] <SVNDR> makara: overheating
 : but i find a virus scanner @ ubuntu software center
[12:55] <aBound> akpk, It's unlikely even if one is in the wild a patch will usually be delivered quickly.
[12:55] <busybyeski> hey why do some people entering the irc have ipv6 and some ipv4? technically, doesn't everyone have both addresses? which does it choose?
[12:55] <almoxarife> akpk: for checking share docs with a windows system, for being nice to them
[12:55] <makara> fans software my vote
[12:56] <SVNDR> makara: know any good ones?
  do u want me to install that ??
[12:56] <makara> nope
[12:56] <almoxarife> akpk: did i bring it up?
[12:56] <makara> pray to Linus
[12:56] <SVNDR> makara: yea and what ive been trying to do doesnt work
[12:56] <akpk> ??
  ??
[12:56] <almoxarife> SVNDR: tell the nice people you overclock
[12:57] <Sidewinder1> akpk, Perhaps you may wish to have a look here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=510812

[13:22] <mang0> Hey, with Wubi, does it run Ubuntu as an actual windows program, i.e you can switch back to windows etc, like a VM, or is it like a dual boot kinda thing?
[13:22] <ubuntu> We do not running windows at all
[13:23] <mang0> ubuntu: Do you not get pinged all the time by people saying the word "ubuntu"? lol
[13:23] <aaron__> !mang0 wubi, is just an assist to setup a dualboot
[13:23] <llutz_> mang0: more the latter, it will start linux from an image-file. you migh have access to windows-files, but its not running inside windows
[13:24] <mang0> aaron__, llutz_ : Great, thanks. I've got some windows programs that I need to install and don't work under wine properly, but I really don't wanna leave linux behind :( so Wubi might be useful for setting up a dual boot
[13:24] <llutz_> mang0: better to use a real dual-boot with linux on an own partition than wubi
[13:24]  * Sidewinder1 Sighs
[13:25] <mang0> llutz_: And why is that?
[13:26] <llutz_> mang0: wubi might cause some trouble which are hard to fix because you cannot easily boot a live-cd and access
[13:26] <mang0> llutz_: I see. Is there a record of that happening? If so, what sort of errors, and why?
[13:26] <ubuntu> We have a CD to install from
[13:26] <llutz_> mang0: idk, its just the experience from reading here for a longer while
[13:27] <ubuntu> but we still have to format the harddisk first. But how???
[13:27] <mang0> llutz_: I see, thankyou.
[13:27] <llutz_> mang0: so if you can create an own linux partition, do it. you'll be on the safer side
[13:29] <mang0> llutz_: Sure. I was just hoping to get around that with Wubi :(

[13:34] <_jason> chmac: if you don't care that everything will be destroyed (have backups) and can live with downtime while things break (maybe even not being able to use computer at all until you fix it) then precise is ok.  If you want to work on your computer, stick with stable releases
[13:34] <Dakkus> Gnome has been quite thoroughly crippled and is now unusable.
[13:34] <zipace> chmac, but you only want to upgrade to 11.10, right? otherwise, you might as well pour water in your CPU
[13:35] <Dakkus> I definitely prefer 11.04 over 11.10.
[13:35] <Guest33190> hello
[13:35] <Knorre> .
[13:35] <MonkeyDust> Dakkus  i use Gnome in an abubtu-fork, works fine
[13:35] <MonkeyDust> *ubuntu
[13:35] <chmac> _jason: I was reading mark shuttleworth's blog, which sparked the idea, maybe precise is stable enough now for daily use... :-)
[13:35] <zipace> abubtu))
[13:35] <_jason> chmac: maybe now.  But it changes until release.
[13:35] <zipace> the new name of ubuntu, huh :-)
[13:35] <llutz_> chmac: #ubuntu+1 for discussion about precise, not here
[13:36] <_jason> chmac: yes, let's move to #ubuntu+1

[13:49] <onto> does anyone know what's happening?
[13:50] <Oer> onto, is pinguy Ubuntu ?
[13:50] <MonkeyDust> pinguy is ubuntu with an overkill-GUI
[13:51] <ssta> unity/compiz isn't already overkill GUI? :P

[13:56] <morf77> hi
[13:56] <sobczyk_> hi, anyone knows why there is no moonlight in the repositories?
[13:56] <morf77> I need some advice about partitions/dual boot
[13:56] <morf77> I have dual boot win7/ubuntu
[13:56] <morf77> ubuntu partition is getting too small, I need to enlarge it
[13:57] <S0LIDUS> morf77, How can we help
[13:57] <morf77> hi S0LIDUS
[13:57] <S0LIDUS> morf77, Howde
[13:57] <morf77> I would like to know what the culprits are
[13:57] <MonkeyDust> morf77  backup important files and use gparted to resize partitions
[13:57] <morf77> okay that seems good practice
[13:57] <morf77> and I know gparted
[13:58] <morf77> but I understand there is a risk my win7 boot will get corrupted by doing so?
[13:58] <S0LIDUS> MonkeyDust, Couldn't of said better myself. :-)
[13:58] <stowoda> hi. I am running ubuntu and win7 on the same machine. Grub is my bootmanager. since win7 crashed I wish to install it again. How to do that without loosing my ubuntu system. I am aware of the fact to not owerwrite my linux partitions. The question is how to handle the reinstall of win7 without destroying grub...
[13:58] <llutz_> !grub
[13:59] <llutz_> stowoda: ^^
[13:59] <stowoda> llutz, thx
[13:59] <stowoda> one thing yet
[13:59] <stowoda> how to find out the version of ubuntu
[13:59] <llutz_> lsb_release -s
[13:59] <stowoda> thanks
[14:00] <llutz_> lsb_release -sc
[14:00] <llutz_> sry
[14:00] <stowoda> maverick..
[14:00] <morf77> one more thing about my partition question
[14:00] <morf77> I have a ssd which contains my grub and ubuntu
[14:00] <morf77> windows is installed on another hdd
[14:01] <morf77> what is more safe enlarging the ubuntu partition on the ssd or creating an extra ubuntu partition on the windows hdd
[14:02] <llutz_> morf77: you could easily create a partition on the 2nd drive and move /var or /home to it
[14:02] <riclas> hi guys
[14:02] <mx8> hi
[14:02] <_jop> hi reclas
[14:03] <awaad> llutz_: Thanks
[14:03] <riclas> my ubuntu livecd crashes because of nouveau
[14:03] <morf77> thank llutz_
[14:03] <riclas> i've managed to install ubuntu 11.10 through recovery mode with nomodeset
[14:03] <riclas> but then it doesn't boot ubuntu because of the same nouveau crash
[14:04] <riclas> if i blacklist nouveau ubuntu loads through sandy bridge graphics driver
[14:04] <riclas> but i wanted to use my nvidia card :\
[14:04] <Iron_Chef> greets
[14:04] <riclas> it's a gt555M, nouveau says it is supported..
[14:05] <riclas> i don't know what to try next :(
[14:05] <robin0800> riclas: you need bumblebee I think
[14:06] <riclas> ahhhhhh
[14:06] <riclas> it does have that optimus technology
[14:06] <thiago> hi everybody
[14:09] <sobczyk_> so, anyone knows where is moonlight? is the preferred way to install it via the plugin?
[14:09] <Layke> I just installed Opera, but realised I installed the wrong package. How do I remove it? I tried dpkg --remove <package.name>
[14:09] <stowoda> how to find out if /home is mounted to sda1 or 2 or whatever?
[14:09] <MonkeyDust> stowoda  mount
[14:09] <stowoda> thx
[14:09] <riclas> but from what i read bumblebee is an optimus mirror utility. why can't i use the nvidia card only?
[14:12] <stowoda> http://nopaste.info/289479f6a0.html  <-- what is sda1 and sda3?  sda2 is my corrupted windows7 filesystem. sda5 and sda6 are swap and home respectively.
[14:15] <fradeve> ping
[14:16] <MonkeyDust> stowoda  sda1 = NTFS = Win partition
[14:16] <DJones> stowoda: I would guess that sda1 could be a windows recovery partition, sda3 could be your "/" partition, if you type "mount" in a terminal, that should give you some more detail
[14:18] <stowoda> http://nopaste.info/a6c2c23f1f.html
[14:18] <stowoda> the output of mount ^^

[15:11] <sharperguy> hi
[15:11] <Cailloux> hey  =)
[15:12] <AlanBell> antaranian: best way is probably to do it via wifi, but if you really want to do it -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1212548
[15:12] <sharperguy> Anyone know if theres a way I can make an application search for a .so file in a local directory (e.g. in my home folder)?
[15:12] <antaranian> AlanBell: thanks, I'll check it now
[15:13] <mx8> sherperguy  find / -name *.so
[15:13] <mx8> or / change to /home directory
[15:13] <sharperguy> mx8: What I mean is I'm getting a "no such file or directory" error because the .so file the application is looking for isn't in the standard location
[15:13] <llutz_> sharperguy: set LD_LIBRARY_PATH
[15:14] <sharperguy> llutz_: ok but do I have to recompile the application for that to work?
[15:14] <llutz_> sharperguy: no
[15:14] <sharperguy> ah sweet
[15:15] <sharperguy> llutz_: ok that seems to have worked!
[15:15] <llutz_> sharperguy: you also could add the path to /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*
[15:16] <sharperguy> llutz_: yeah I don't really need to for now but thanks for the help
[15:17] <NewB> how i reset ubuntu to it default configuration... ?  (don't want to reformat)
[15:23] <djazz> How can i make ubuntu to be less battery-hungry? using 11.10 on an Aspire TimelineX 3830TG
[15:24] <Teratogen> turn off the computer?
[15:24] <aber> turn of the monitor
[15:24] <pangolin> !behelpful
[15:24] <WLU> does 11.10 ignore xorg.conf even if I manually put it in /etc/X11/
[15:25] <djazz> ...
[15:27] <SVNDR> How do i show hidden folders?
[15:27] <AlanBell> NewB: depends a bit on what you want to reset, perhaps you could create a new user for yourself?
[15:27] <AlanBell> SVNDR: in nautilus ctrl+h
[15:28] <AlanBell> SVNDR: or view-show hidden files
[15:28] <SVNDR> AlanBell: cheers mate, found it
[15:28] <allu2> Tell me, is update manager slow and bit unresponsive for everyone or is it just me? Eeepc 1001px ubuntu 11.10
[15:28] <robin0800> WLU: no
[15:29] <AlanBell> djazz: turn off bluetooth and wifi, tweak the time for the hdd to spin down perhaps, lower screen brightness on a laptop. There should be power management improvements in 12.04 in April I think.
[15:30] <WLU> robin0800: it seems that is is actually doing this unless it is now automated to fall back on a safe xorg.conf if there are mistakes
[15:30] <AlanBell> allu2: works OK for me on various atom powered computers, perhaps you could quantify the problem a bit as it is hard to compare
[15:32] <chmac> How do I create a ramdisk as a partition, without mounting it? `mount -t tmpfs` doesn't work, because I don't want it mounted, I want it as a raw partition to extend an lvm onto.
[15:32] <allu2> AlanBell: say i press "check" button to fetch new changes, takes 10 sec before the dialog showing its updating the catche appears, then after it finishes update manager doesn't respond and turn to gray for maybe 5 seconds.. if i upgrade it first takes a while before upgrade dialog appears and then the dialog gets gray time to time too
[15:33] <JohnQHandle> Hi. I've been dual booting Oneiric(upgraded from 11.04) & Win7 on my barebones pc hooked up to an LG TV via VGA. Everything was good until I decided to fresh install 11.10. Now I don't see grub on boot(tv says "invalid format"). I see the BIOS screen, then the message, and then the log in screen. Ideas?
[15:33] <AlanBell> allu2: sounds about right, it is doing a lot of checking. Generally you can ignore it until it pops up and when it does it should be ready for you to hit the button, then you can minimise it
[15:34] <limeage> chmac, probably  zram module will help you. This is not tmpfs  but   it will create block device in ram
[15:34] <limeage> chmac, moreover it will be compressed
[15:35] <robin0800> WLU: there are now fallback modes and safe recovery but I don't know how they work only what they do
[15:35] <allu2> AlanBell: still, the fact it turns gray just seems so depressing, also i don't understand how its faster if i open terminal and run apt-get update and apt-get upgrade then if i press "install updates" on the update manager :S
[15:35] <chmac> limeage: Ok, sweet, compression probably isn't necessary in this case. I'm looking into zram now, thanks.
[15:35] <allu2> AlanBell: in the end doesn't the update manager do the same thing?
[15:36] <AlanBell> allu2: it does similar stuff, not sure how much of it is processed in python though
[15:36] <AlanBell> JohnQHandle: that sounds like something to do with kernel mode setting
[15:38] <AlanBell> JohnQHandle: you could try turning off KMS temporarily to see if that is what is putting the display into a mode the TV doesn't support https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/KernelModeSetting
[15:38] <allu2> AlanBell: i hope this kind of minor glitches will be fixed in 12.04, if the problem is with the update-manager and not the upgrade being slow it self i think it should be possible to improve responsivness :)
[15:38] <otak>                                                             
[15:38] <JohnQHandle> AlanBell, I'll check that out. Thanks
[15:40] <djazz> AlanBell: I dual-boot with Win7 and there the battery can last for about six hours, with wifi
[15:43] <semslie> Hi. I've repurposed an old laptop as an ubuntu server. Ideally I'd like it to connect wirelessly to the network but I'm unsure about how a couple of things. 1st, once I've got the restricted drivers installed to detect my wireless card, can I run wpa_supplicant and/or network manager without the gui frontend?
[15:43] <AlanBell> djazz: so how long does it last on Ubuntu then? and is it just the *warning* that is sooner or is it really running out
[15:43] <_jason> semslie: you can use nmcli to interact with network manager
[15:44] <llutz_> semslie: wpa_supplicant needs no gui
[15:52] <djazz> AlanBell:Not using ubuntu much when on battery, it's already down on 55%. Haven't tested until it dies though
[15:53] <djazz> Same with my netbook with ubuntu 10.04 netbook remix, it can be on for about an hour before it dies
[15:55] <xubuntu5> how old is the netbook?
[15:55] <semslie> llutz:  thanks, I couldn't see any clear documentation that mentioned that
[15:55] <semslie> djazz:  wonderful - thanks
[15:56] <semslie> djazz:  do you perhaps know the recommended way of installing and activating restricted drivers via the command line as well?
[15:57] <djazz> xubuntu5: 3 years
[15:57] <djazz> it wasnt very good back then either
[15:57] <djazz> came with Linux Linpus Lite
[15:57] <djazz> 8Gb SSD
[15:57] <djazz> Atom
[15:57] <djazz> semslie: obviosly not
[15:58] <semslie> djazz: thanks anyway
[15:59] <AlanBell> djazz: there is a tool called powertop which can be used to track down power hungry applications
[15:59] <otak> semslie: use aptitude or apt-get for installing
[15:59] <djazz> powertop says im using about 20 W
[16:00] <djazz> 23,7 W atm
[16:01] <semslie> Otak: thanks, but my question is more about whether there is a "best practice" path similar to the "install network drivers" option from ubuntu's desktop version
[16:01] <thiago_> hey, firefox too slow on a celeron computer :(
[16:01] <AlanBell> err, different tool to the one I am thinking of perhaps. Mine doesn't show watts
[16:01] <Androguy> thiago_: try chromium
[16:02] <thiago_> Androguy, chromium its a google chrome browser?
[16:02] <djazz> AlanBell: also, im using "powersave" on all CPU cores
[16:05] <djazz> AlanBell: PowerTOP says on the Tunables tab: "Enable SATA link power management for /dev/sda"
[16:05] <thiago_> Androguy, i'll try
[16:06] <AlanBell> djazz: yeah, I just turned all the bad to good on the tuneables tab
[16:06] <AlanBell> and I realised it only reports the watts when not plugged in to AC
[16:07] <djazz> down on 47%..
[16:08] <boss> HELLO
[16:08] <Guest37063> okey
[16:09] <thiago_> hello
[16:09] <Guest37063> is thise mean i should out and comein by that name you give me it
[16:09] <AlanBell> djazz: I am down to 15w discharge rate on a core i3 laptop, I shut down firefox as that was using a lot of power
[16:10] <walden> does suspend work less well on ubuntu 11.11 than it did on 10.04?
[16:10] <AlanBell> Guest37063: the name you started with was already taken by someone else you can do "/nick anothername" to choose your name
[16:10] <Guest37063> no request
[16:10] <Guest37063> oket
[16:10] <janderson91z> what's the difference between the 12.04 alpha and the daily builds? if you upgrade the alpha daily is it the same as a recent daily build?
[16:10] <walden> suspend seems to always cause my filesystem to become unwriteable until i reboot
[16:11] <AlanBell> walden: generally things get better, but if you have a specific regression it might be related to your hardware only
[16:11] <llutz_> janderson91z: #ubuntu+1 for discussion about precise, not here
[16:11] <Guest37063> i need my ubuntu ask for password every mount to a drive
[16:11] <Guest37063> can i
[16:11] <AlanBell> janderson91z: yes, if you upgrade then it becomes the same as the dailys
[16:11] <walden> AlanBell: i don't suppose booting from an SDHC would make the filesystem less reliable compared to booting from a USB drive?
[16:12] <janderson91z> thank you alanbell. i was curious
[16:12] <walden> i wonder if it's the transcend SDHC card i've be using
[16:12] <prooz> Have anyone gotten sound via hdmi on geforce/nforce working?
[16:12] <prooz> I've tried several versions of ubuntu and several different drivers, but no luck
[16:13] <Guest37063> sorry
[16:13] <almoxarife> prooz: what version you on now?
[16:13] <Guest37063> 10.10
[16:13] <AlanBell> walden: depends on the card, probably a good one (class 10) should be fine, I have a machine that boots from SDHC and that works fine (I don't reboot it much though)
[16:13] <WLU> is there any way to output an xorg.conf file that is currently in use from ubuntu 11.10 .
[16:13] <prooz> almoxarife: Atm, i've got 10.10 with the 270-drivers
[16:14] <walden> AlanBell: hmm, thanks. it seems to work fine until i reboot
[16:14] <llutz_> WLU: stop X, run "sudo Xorg -configure" and check the resulting xorg.conf.new
[16:14] <AlanBell> Guest37063: how are you mounting the drive and what is it?
[16:15] <pksadiq> llutz_: he just requires to output the *current* used one, not a new one
[16:15] <almoxarife> prooz: does the sound hardware show up?
[16:15] <WLU> llutz_: thanks will try that
[16:15] <llutz_> pksadiq: which should be identical
[16:16] <pksadiq> llutz_: may be no, its harder, cat path/to/xorg is easy :)
[16:16] <prooz> almoxarife: Yeah, i'ts card 1 and there's device 3,7,8,9
[16:16] <llutz_> pksadiq: there is no xorg.conf by default
[16:16] <Guest37063> I want to raise the level of safety have

[16:19] <pip__> newbie question:  I've seen a reference to this: $> ifup wlan0.  What in the world does the ">" refer to.  I get the $ is a standard terminal line & not # (root?)  I understand that the rest is about wireless interfaces.  I'm trying to work out how to use ifscheme.
[16:21] <llutz_> pip__: i'd guess its just a different prompt

[16:21] <mran777> hi there, can someone help? i'm trying to compile a C++ program and it says 'iostream: no such file or directory'
[16:21] <pip__> okay, I think....
[16:22] <pip__> you know what I'll just try
[16:22] <AlanBell> Guest2384678: I guess you should be looking at doing encrypted disks or something then
[16:22] <pip__> if it breaks I'll torment you all some more :)
[16:23] <llutz_> pip__: "ifup wlan0" is just a command and the leading ">" wouldn't make any sense
[16:23] <llutz_> as part of the command
[16:23] <pip__> I get the command bit, was wondering about the >
[16:23] <AlanBell> mran777: what is it you are trying to do?
[16:24] <mran777> compile a c++ program
[16:24] <llutz_> pip__: ask the author about his $PS1
[16:24] <AlanBell> mran777: you are missing some kind of dependency that the thing you are trying to compile wants
[16:24] <pip__> his what?
[16:24] <mran777> yeah, its the standard iostream file
[16:24] <mran777> it cant find it
[16:25] <llutz_> pip__: the var defining the prompt in bash
[16:25] <heinz> mran777: pastebin your code and state the commandline you tried

[16:26] <hceylan> I am missing sound input devices
[16:26] <hceylan> Can anybody help?
[16:26] <mran777> its quite a long program
[16:27] <heinz> mran777: let's start with the command line
[16:27] <heinz> did you say 'gcc' or 'g++' ?
[16:28] <pip__> okay, I think I'm understanding it.
[16:29] <pip__> thanks

[16:41] <AlanBell> Olafur: does a live cd play the drum noise?
[16:41] <Olafur> what drum noise?
[16:42] <Sidewinder1> Guess that answers that. :-(

[16:46] <AlanBell> ick
[16:47] <AlanBell> did you test a live cd and hear no login sound?
[16:47] <Olafur> AlanBell: I have checked that few times now, but then the sound should come out from my screen, which it doesnt
[16:47] <Olafur> AlanBell: no log in sound

[16:52] <v3n0w> Hello guys. Im having a problem with linux serial communication. When I connect a serial device (arduino) on usb, linux appears to connect to the device and send some data. This behavior busys the device, so I cant communicate with it. What are the commands that cant help me debug this problem and/or to modify this behavior?

[16:53] <magnetron> hi, i need a command-line tool for joining pdf pages that i can use in my script
[16:54] <AlanBell> http://kirichkov.com/707/getting-audio-through-hdmi-with-ubuntu-11-04-and-nvidia-ion-chipset/ perhaps
[16:54] <llutz_> !info pdfjam | magnetron this might help
[16:55] <dury> I did install google earth but it has ugly fonts in it
[16:55] <magnetron> llutz_: thx, i'll look into it
[16:55] <dury> http://ubuntuguide.net/install-google-earth-and-fix-ugly-fonts-in-ubuntu-11-04-natty

[16:57] <limeage> !info pdftk | magnetron or this
[16:57] <Olafur> AlanBell: I cant find sound preferences on the new ubuntu 11.10 sorry, but im going to get alsamixer
[16:57] <owenll> magnetron: PDFTK is available http://www.pdflabs.com/docs/pdftk-cli-examples/ and also has a gui called pdf chain in the sortware center
[16:57] <magnetron> limeage, owenll: thanks
[17:00] <Olafur> AlanBell: where is sound preferences on ubuntu 11.10?
[17:01] <mkjackson_mobile> I've been using a live usb installation to run oneric for a few months now and it's great!
[17:02] <mkjackson_mobile> I've been wanting to put the installer ISO's on the drive as well so that after I diagnose I can then install it to the machine I'm running on
[17:02] <mkjackson_mobile> however, this only seems to work with the 32-bit install
[17:03] <mkjackson_mobile> when I try to put on the 64-bit version I get errors about "exec format error"
[17:04] <owenll> Olafur: when you click sound icon top bar there should be  sound settings option?
[17:04] <mkjackson_mobile> "Begin: regenerating SSL certificate... ...chroot: can't execute '/usr/sbin/make-ssl-cert': Exec format error" to be exact

[17:09] <agentgasmask> Hi all. I built a raid 10 with mdadm specifying raid-devices=5 when I ment to have it =4 and leave one for a hot spare. Can I take one out? Or can I just reissue the create command with the =4 part substetuted?
[17:10] <mkjackson_mobile> mordof: gparted won't fix grub configs
[17:10] <mkjackson_mobile> (as far as I know)
[17:10] <kroq-gar78> Hey everyone. I just installed maven using Synaptic because it logs which packages are installed. How can I completely remove maven along with its dependencies? Do I just do "sudo apt-get autoremove maven2"?
[17:10] <tweet> Hi all ! Anything on Ubuntu 11.10 networking issues ?
[17:10] <agentgasmask> The line to create was: mdadm -v --create /dev/md0 --level=10 --raid-devices=5 /dev/sd{d,e,f,g,h}
[17:11] <zivester> where is the users crontab stored in ubuntu 11.10 ?
[17:11] <Olafur> thats for all who can help, missing sound icon in the top right corner, no sound, very annoying :)
[17:12] <llutz_> zivester: /var/spool/cron/crontabs
[17:12] <ssta> agentgasmask: you're doing raid10 with an odd number of drives?
[17:12] <mcsmurf> random rant: Sometimes I hate Linux :( updated from 9.10 to 10.04 and now some Java app (using 3D graphics) does not work at all anymore over FreeNX
[17:13] <mcsmurf> with the fglrx driver the app crashes, with radeon driver it says 3D not supported
[17:13] <zivester> eek... why is this empty
[17:13] <mcsmurf> thanks for listening ;)
[17:13] <agentgasmask> ssta: not intentionaly. I ment to have a raid 10 with 4 drives, and have a hot spare as the 5th.
[17:14] <ssta> agentgasmask: ah.  Thought it looked strange :)
[17:14] <kroq-gar78> zivester: you used "ls" as root? It says permission denied for me if I don't
[17:14] <kroq-gar78> ziverster: oh wait nvm
[17:15] <zivester> well i had a cron to backup all of /etc/ and /var/  and i was trying to look at the crontab i backed up.... but it doesn't seem to be there
[17:15] <zivester> so i can't even check if my commands were even right, oh boy
[17:15] <kroq-gar78> zivester: wait yeah you have to sudo with ls
[17:16] <nerxgas2> ..
[17:16] <zivester> where is the root cron stored?
[17:16] <prodigius> did you run your cron as root?
[17:17] <ssta> zivester: which?  There are (potentially) two
[17:17] <prodigius> the backup job that is
[17:17] <zivester> i can't remember, hopefully i did because my user crons aren't in my backup
[17:17] <ssta> zivester: there's /etc/crontab and /var/spool/cron
[17:17] <ssta> usualy root cronjobs go in /etc/crontab
[17:17] <prodigius> if you didn't use root to back it up or a sudo for another user running it, you won't get the /var/* either.
[17:18] <ziga555> Hay all
[17:18] <prodigius> hiya ziga555
[17:18] <dury> hi there again channel :)
[17:18] <llutz_> zivester: check /etc/cron.d/ and /etc/cron.[hourly|daily|weekly...] too
[17:19] <ssta> yeah, those too...I always forget them.  Generally it's packages that puts stuff there though
[17:19] <dury> did solve ugly fonts after installing google earth
[17:19] <prodigius> llutz_, are the entries in /etc/cron.d etc links to the crontab in /var/spool... ?
[17:19] <dury> success :)
[17:19] <ssta> prodigius: no
[17:19] <prodigius> dury, did google earth mess up all desktop fonts too when you installed it?
[17:20] <llutz_> prodigius: not here
[17:21] <dury> prodigius: no
[17:21] <kroq-gar78> Hey everyone. I just installed maven using Synaptic because it logs which packages are installed. How can I completely remove maven along with its dependencies? When I try "sudo apt-get autoremove maven2", it only says its removing maven2, not its dependencies (which I only needed for maven)
[17:21] <ssta> kroq-gar78: if packages are only there because of dependencies, you can remove them with: sudo apt-get autoremove
[17:22] <dury> sudo apt-get install xfonts-75dpi xfonts-100dpi  that's what I did and success
[17:22] <magesing> How do I configure how my trackpad behaves under ubuntu? I would like to enable two finger scrolling and tap to click
[17:22] <ssta> kroq-gar78: with no package name specified
[17:22] <zivester> well i suck.. i messed that up... whats a proper command to rsync backup /home/ /etc/ and /var/ ... i luckily found the commands i was using in the logs
[17:23] <prodigius> ssta, a theoretical question... would the apt-get autoremove screw up another package that was installed subsequently and used those dependencies?
[17:23] <llutz_> zivester: rsync -haux /home /var /etc /target       as root
[17:23] <kroq-gar78> ssta: I'll try that. Shouldn't doing "sudo apt-get remove maven2" and then "sudo apt-get autoremove" have the same effect as simply "sudo apt-get autoremove maven2"?
[17:23] <zivester> hmm.. i was using -ah --delete
[17:23] <llutz_> -Haux*
[17:23] <ssta> kroq-gar78: no, you need to do it in two commands
[17:24] <ssta> kroq-gar78: remove maven2, then autoremove
[17:24] <zivester> llutz_ will that keep all permissions for /home/myuser and whatnot?
[17:24] <ziga555> what is the name of python-dev package ?Im trying to find, but without succes.
[17:25] <kroq-gar78> ssta: so I tried what you said, seems like it wants to remove _most_ of the packages it installed, then some of its dependencies it wants to remove on autoremove. Should I keep running autoremove or what?
[17:25] <llutz_> zivester: you have to run it as root to preserve permissions. i always use -Hx to make sure hardlinks are copied and no stuff from other filesystems (bind-mounts/links) is backuped
[17:25] <dannel> why would you need a developer packager? it's an interpreter, so no build toolchain needed
[17:25] <azriel> My computer freezes at seemingly random intervals, I've found discussions about this online but not a direct and obvious way to fix it, I run Ubuntu 11.04 on a compaq presario cq57
[17:26] <dannel> package*
[17:26] <kroq-gar78> ssta: I ran autoremove again after removing the 1st unnecessary packages, but it didn't uninstall all of the things it installed automatically during maven2 install. why and how do I fix it?
[17:26] <ssta> kroq-gar78: maybe they're needed by something else
[17:27] <ssta> kroq-gar78: in general, unless you're very short of diskspace, leave it be.  Remove stuff aggressively is liable to break things unless you understand why they;re there
[17:27] <kroq-gar78> ssta: but nothing else needed it before; I just installed maven2 ~10 minutes ago. No package upgrades since. Why can't I remove it?
[17:27] <nobitanobi> hi. I've been trying to make my Ipod Touch to work in Ubuntu 11.04 but even though it charges through the USB, I can't find it with any music player. When I plug it in and I do a dmesg | grep usb, I get the following error: http://friendpaste.com/y6f1CoyG7tiTkilvUhgFH -- Please, any thoughts?
[17:27] <zivester> so it's -Haux ?
[17:27] <llutz_> zivester:yes, its what _i_ prefer. but i'd suggest using rsnapshot for those backups, it uses rsync and you have kind of a version-history
[17:28] <azriel> nobitanobi: first is it jailbroken?
[17:28] <nobitanobi> No, it's not
[17:28] <kroq-gar78> ssta: ok then. I'm not really low on space (not a lot of space taken), so I guess I'll leave it be. Thanks!
[17:28] <brendan10211> hey all
[17:28] <kroq-gar78> hey brendan10211
[17:28] <dannel> hello
[17:28] <brendan10211> horray for 11.10 with xchat and docky
[17:29] <nobitanobi> azriel: why is that important?
[17:30] <azriel> it really does make it easier, but not always nessasary
[17:30] <nobitanobi> ok, good to know... it's being pretty  a pain.. I can see the Ipod device by doing:  lsusb | grep Apple
[17:30] <nobitanobi> but there is no way it is being mounted :/
[17:30] <JustMozzy> hi guys. I'm having a weird problem with bluetooth. from my mobile phone I see a bluetooth device that carries my laptop's name, however bluetooth doesn't seem to be enabled in ubuntu. anyone any ideas?
[17:31] <azriel> *necessary,  banshee is what i use to put media on my Ipod so if you use that it should work without jailbreaking
[17:31] <nobitanobi> I've tried banshee too :/
[17:32] <azriel> thats odd :/
[17:32] <nobitanobi> banshee, clementine, gtkpod,
[17:32] <nobitanobi> none :!
[17:32] <nobitanobi> I believe that error I shown is the cause of this...
[17:32] <azriel> what have you done with your computer? any changes? you didn't do an upgrade did you >:|
[17:33] <nobitanobi> I'm under 11.04 and I do upgrades of Ubuntu of course
[17:33] <zivester> thanks llutz_ running it now
[17:34] <azriel> ok see that can cause alot of problems, you would be better putting your home folder on a seperate partition and jsut installing hte new version from a burnt disk
[17:34] <azriel> I'm looking over the error right now
[17:34] <nobitanobi> thanks azriel
[17:35] <g0th> hi
[17:35] <g0th> how do I change the number of desktops in ubuntu/unity?
[17:36] <azriel> g0th: seriously?
[17:36] <g0th> I tried to change them in ccsm (setting virtual horizontal to 6 and the rest to 1)
[17:36] <g0th> somehow it doesn't work :(
[17:36] <azriel> right click on the desktop changer and click the settings
[17:36] <g0th> it does not work
[17:36] <g0th> no menu opens
[17:36] <azriel> :|
[17:36] <azriel> xfce is your friend
[17:37] <g0th> are you saying it is impossible to change the number of desktops in unity?
[17:37] <azriel> ooooh
[17:37] <azriel> unity, thats why
[17:37] <azriel> umm i don't know i used unity just long enough to know how badly it sucks
[17:37] <g0th> I mentioned unity in my first post
[17:37] <azriel> sorry eyes glossed right over it
[17:38] <nobitanobi> azriel: sorry, I got disconnected.
[17:38] <JackRelish> Does anyone know if installing kernels for later versions of Ubuntu (e.g. Precise, Oneric) on older versions (natty) could have adverse effects? I have been installing the latest versions from the kernel-ppa mainline to get fixes for a very specific iwlagn bug, and was worried about it causing other incompaibilities. Is there any risk of the kernel changing significantly enough for there to be issues? Thanks.
[17:40] <azriel> nobitanobi: it's all good, but i can't figure it out, for some reason your computer just seems to not register it, and the error doesn't seem to indicate what the exact problem is just where it occurs
[17:40] <nobitanobi> ok azriel, no worries.
[17:40] <azriel> it could be the ipod or your computer, try a different ipod and a different comptuer
[17:40] <nobitanobi> I will keep fighting :P
[17:40] <azriel> good luck to you man
[17:40] <nobitanobi> it works in mac os
[17:40] <g0th> anyone lese: how do I change the number of desktops in unity?
[17:40] <g0th> hmm, I meant the number of workspaces
[17:40] <azriel> anyone know how to fix the freezing problem on ubuntu 11.04?
[17:41] <LinuxNoob> debian
[17:41] <LinuxNoob> haha lol jk
[17:41] <ubuntu_> oio
[17:41] <azriel> linuxnoob >:|
[17:41] <JackRelish> g0th: I never switched to Unity, so can't say for sure, but if it still uses compiz you can install compizconfig-settings-manager and chang it there.
[17:42] <g0th> that's what I did
[17:42] <azriel> anyone know how to fix the freezing problem on ubuntu 11.04?
[17:42] <g0th> and it had no effect
[17:42] <JackRelish> Is compiz running? In a terminal, run 'px ax | grep compiz'
[17:43] <JackRelish> I mean 'ps ax | grep compiz'
[17:43] <anonymous229> azirel , what you mean ?
[17:44] <DJones> g0th: Have you tried this http://askubuntu.com/questions/34572/how-can-i-reduce-or-increase-the-number-of-workspaces-in-unity
[17:44] <g0th> yes
[17:44] <Krim404> hi. i have aproblem with screen, looks like a bug in the binary. http://nopaste.info/a940888e9f.html - can someone tell me if i'm just stupid or is the bin really f**ed up
[17:44] <g0th> tried but it had no effect
[17:44] <anonymous229> azriel : your system stopping after 30-1h running?
[17:45] <g0th> compiz is not running
[17:45] <azriel> it's random
[17:45] <Volis> What does "chmod 555 /dev/ttyS0" do?
[17:45] <g0th> JackRelish: I thought ccsm was not only for compiz but also for unity
[17:45] <llutz_> !permissions| Volis
[17:45] <Volis> Does 555 stand for a user here?
[17:46] <anonymous229> azriel . i think you should install drivers to graphic card
[17:46] <llutz_> Volis: no for the permissions (-wx-wx-wx)
[17:46] <azriel> anonymous229: it will run for ten seconds and freeze sometimes, and some times for the whole day
[17:46] <jolaren> How does one exchange keys with blowfish?
[17:46] <tweet> Is anyone using 11.10 64-bit desktop ?
[17:46] <JackRelish> g0th: As far as I know, ccsm only affects compiz. If compiz is not being used, it will have limited effect.
[17:46] <llutz_> rx not wx,
[17:46] <jolaren> tweet: yup
[17:46] <azriel> anonymous229: how could i do that?
[17:47] <Volis> llutz, That is read and execute permissions for all, i guess?
[17:47] <llutz_> Volis: yes

[17:51] <llutz_> Volis: you have to logout/relogin

[18:03] <Plizzo> Hi! I have a server running Ubuntu Server 11.10, and I wish to install some kind of DNS server so I can get name resolution to work over DNS, and also so I don't have to write lumen.local, but just lumen to reach the server.
[18:04] <find_92> yes
[18:04] <dr_willis> Plizzo:  for a small set of machines. you could just edit the hosts file. assuming they have static ip
[18:04] <Plizzo> Right now I have Avahi installed, but this only gives me accesss to the name lumen.local, and it won't help me with name resolution when I'm connected to the server through VPN
[18:05] <GNUtoo|laptop> hi, I saw that ubuntu requires 5G of free space and xubuntu 4.4G of free space, I have to install ubuntu on an eeepc 701, what edition+livecd should I pick for installing?
[18:05] <Plizzo> dr_willis: I do have a rather small home network, but editing the hosts file seems to be a bad option, given that installing a DNS server is probably the best one, and it would work cross-machine
[18:05] <Guest86443> evenin all
[18:05] <earthrise> Hello
[18:06] <Plizzo> dr_willis: I also connect to my server through VPN, and I can only reach the machines in my network through their ip-adresses, and I would like to get name resolving working
[18:06] <dr_willis> Plizzo:  assuming you can get the dnsserver working right. :) i just set my home router to do static ips and have about 8 lines in my hosts file.
[18:06] <dr_willis> Plizzo:  no idea on vpn. i dont use it.
[18:06] <Guest86443> hello earthrise
[18:06] <dr_willis> Plizzo:  i just use dyndns and port forwarding to get to differnt machines when away from home.
[18:07] <dr_willis> GNUtoo|laptop:  how much hd space do you have total?
[18:07] <Plizzo> dr_willis: Have you ever set up a DNS on Ubuntu, I found some tuturials, but they all talk about zones etc, and I don't know what that is
[18:07] <GNUtoo|laptop> the hdd is 4G
[18:07] <dr_willis> Plizzo:  now you know why i dont use dns. :) and use the hosts file.
[18:07] <rengo77> !list
[18:08] <GNUtoo|laptop> dr_willis, the xubuntu website says the alternate install cd requires only 2G of free space....
[18:08] <dr_willis> I think theres some samba-feature? that can help in resolving hostname to ip for the local lan. but i forget what it was called.
[18:08] <GNUtoo|laptop> dr_willis,  but what's the difference
[18:08] <dr_willis> GNUtoo|laptop:  lubuntu may need even less space.
[18:08] <Plizzo> dr_willis: I use my server as a file storage, webserver and media machine, and the reason why I run VPN is because I don't want my files to be accesible if someone would get my password. VPN with certificates is much safer
[18:08] <Plizzo> dr_willis: I do have Avahi, for bonjour broadcasting, which works, but not over VPN
[18:09] <dr_willis> Plizzo:  i just ssh to my machine. i dont get files from it across the internet.. So thats about the extent of my experience.
[18:09] <dr_willis> unless you count scping via my android phone. :)
[18:09] <Plizzo> Is there anyone who could help me set up a simple DNS server on Ubuntu server 11.10?
[18:09] <dr_willis> !dns
[18:09] <jutnux> Plizzo: For how many domains?
[18:09] <llutz_> Plizzo: look at dnsmasq without the dhcp-part, it should be sufficient for a small network and easier to configure than bind9
[18:09] <jutnux> If it's just one, use CloudFlare.
[18:09] <Plizzo> jutnux: I'm unsure of what you mean, because I just need the DNS locally
[18:10] <JackRelish> Plizzo, install isc-dhcp-server and check out http://tldp.org/HOWTO/DHCP/x369.html
[18:10] <dr_willis> dnsmasq sounds like what ive heard from befor. :) never tried it.
[18:10] <dr_willis> !info dnsmasq
[18:10] <GNUtoo|laptop> dr_willis, it's the same they require more than 4GB but they have an alternate
[18:10] <GNUtoo|laptop> I'll try xubuntu alternate then
[18:10] <Plizzo> llutz_: Is this easy to set up?
[18:11] <jutnux> Plizzo: For how many domains?
[18:11] <llutz_> Plizzo: define "easy". read the documentation and decide yourself
[18:11] <dr_willis> http://thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/doc.html      Dnsmasq will serve names from the /etc/hosts file on the firewall machine: If the names of local machines are there, then they can all be addressed without having to maintain /etc/hosts on each machine.
[18:11] <dr_willis> so you just need to alter one hosts file - on the dns 'server'  :) that makes it a bit easier then a host file on each machine on the lan.
[18:11] <Plizzo> llutz_: Because my problem is domain and zones, which I don't understand, I just need to have a local DNS running so that I can get a correct name resolution inside my network as well as when I am connected through VPN
[18:12] <GNUtoo|laptop> dr_willis, can I make the alternate iso go on an usb key like with kde-usb-installer or something like that?
[18:13] <dr_willis> GNUtoo|laptop:  i belive so. i rarely use the alt-installer.
[18:13] <GNUtoo|laptop> because the eeepc 701 has no cdrom drive
[18:13] <GNUtoo|laptop> ok
[18:13] <dr_willis> GNUtoo|laptop:  for 11.10+ you can 'dd' the iso files to flash also.
[18:13] <GNUtoo|laptop> ok nice
[18:13] <mcsmurf> omg, I found a solution for my "java3d app crashes after update from 9.10 to 10.04" problem :D
[18:14] <mcsmurf> setting LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 helps (using that program via FreeNX)
[18:14] <GNUtoo|laptop> I guess the installer is the ncurse-interface
[18:14] <mcsmurf> this only took me 5 hours...
[18:14] <GNUtoo|laptop> *alternate installer
[18:14] <GNUtoo|laptop> with more advanced options like encryption....
[18:14] <tfhlap> jutnux, what is click jacked? how can I fix that? I am using Chrome on Ubuntu 11.10 ... I installed and ran chkrootkit .. I didn't find anything
[18:14] <IdanSuper> hey guys! I really need help please abut Ubuntu on my new laptop model.. thank you!
[18:15] <jutnux> tfhlap: Google it.
[18:15] <Plizzo> llutz_: Can I just run sudo apt-get install dnsmasq?
[18:15] <IdanSuper> someone here who could help me please?
[18:15] <lewowpard> hewow, room
[18:15] <Plizzo> llutz_: It found the package, but there is no good documentation, do you happen to know where the config file is placed?
[18:15] <llutz_> Plizzo: " read the documentation and decide" if you think it will do what you want, yes
[18:15] <tfhlap> jutnux, is there any removal tools available on ubuntu?
[18:16] <dr_willis> Plizzo:  i imagine setting up a dns server is not going to be a '2 clicks and its done' thing.. you will have to do a little bit of configuring.
[18:16] <ikonia> tfhlap: that is not a virus
[18:16] <ikonia> tfhlap: it will be a facebook application exploit
[18:16] <llutz_> Plizzo: dr_willis already gave you a link to the documentation
[18:16] <tfhlap> ikonia, this is only affecting chrome
[18:17] <Plizzo> llutz_: I need something to be able to resolve names in my network, and a DNS should do that
[18:17] <dr_willis> looks like you set up  dnsmasq on a server. and sets its host file.
[18:17] <ikonia> tfhlap: yes, so the cookie or whatever application you enabled was probably enabled while you where using chrome
[18:17] <GNUtoo|laptop> if so I'd rather start adding internet forwarding trough ethernet (not wifi) using dnsmasq and friends
[18:17] <dr_willis> then set the other pcs to use it as a dns server
[18:17] <Plizzo> llutz_: But I do not know the difference between a DNS Forwarder and a DNS Server, or are they the same?
[18:17] <llutz_> Plizzo: have you even read what we wrote for you?
[18:17] <Plizzo> llutz_: Yes, I'm reading everything now
[18:17] <gbear14275> hey guys... hoping to get help with 2 issues today...  1.  Flash player not letting me click on the (needs more storage space) thing, 2.  Backup (deja-dup) always displays an error when I find it's tried to run a backup
[18:18] <A-KO|lapt> So how do I nuke network manager or control it properly via the CLI? It's a pain in the ass to manage the network config remotely.
[18:18] <Plizzo> llutz_: I'll try it out, thanks
[18:19] <gbear14275> anyone ran across these issues before?  I've heard the flash one involves flash corrupting its own folders and the permissions being messed up... but don't know how to fixx it
[18:19] <ikonia> gbear14275: you've not explained the problem
[18:19] <gbear14275> ikonia:  the basic problem is when flash pops up a request for more storage... you can't click on the box
[18:19] <dr_willis> perhaps a deep cleaning of the browser/flash cache/settings files..
[18:20] <gbear14275> completely unresponsive
[18:20] <eduardo> holaaaaaaa
[18:20] <ikonia> gbear14275: flash should not be asking you for more storage
[18:20] <we_droid> hi
[18:20] <eduardo> alguien habla español
[18:20] <ikonia> gbear14275: what is the exact error message
[18:20] <ikonia> !es | eduardo
[18:20] <dr_willis> gbear14275:  ive heard of 'shift clicking' or 'right mouse button held-then clicking' fixs for similer flash issues.
[18:20] <dr_willis> but ive never heard of flash asking for more storage either
[18:21] <A-KO|lapt> So how do I nuke network manager or control it properly via the CLI? It's a pain in the ass to manage the network config remotely.
[18:21] <eduardo> gracias
[18:21] <Bruce_Wayne> I created partition of my Portable HDD through windows... But in linux, I'm not able to edit current directories/files, for that I have to enter into root... How can I change permission for entire partitions?
[18:21] <GNUtoo|laptop> dr_willis, thanks for the help, I'll let you know if it fails or succed, currently wget says I need to wait about 10 min for the download to finish

[18:24] <Oer> gbear14275, try TAB and Spacebar
[18:24] <gbear14275> Oer, tried... even when I get to the accept box and use spacebar... it's not responsive
[18:24] <lewowpard> *oot* listen to steve jobs. never, ever use flash for your own good.
[18:24] <gbear14275> the button graphic appears to "click", but nothing happens
[18:24] <gbear14275> lewowpard, that doesn't help
[18:25] <lewowpard> sorry
[18:25] <przemek_> hello everybody
[18:25] <gbear14275> lewowpard, it's ok... you may be right :)
[18:25] <Bruce_Wayne> How can I change the permission of whole partitions of Portable HDD from root to normal user?
[18:25] <lewowpard> hi przemek
[18:26] <przemek_> I've got a problem with apache and userdir mod. When I enabled the mod apache started to list directories and options -idexes doesn't work any more
[18:27] <dr_willis> Bruce_Wayne:  what filesystem is on the hdd?
[18:27] <Bruce_Wayne> dr_willis: NTFS
[18:27] <dr_willis> Bruce_Wayne:  you set proper options when mounting it.
[18:27] <gbear14275> ikonia, dr_willis:  I found this... But doesn't explain what permissions to fix and I'm not sure where the bug details are...http://forums.adobe.com/thread/577505
[18:27] <dr_willis> Bruce_Wayne:  via ntfs-config tool is one way.
[18:27] <harleydude> Where do I change screen resolution? Version 11.04 Gnome Ubuntu
[18:27] <dr_willis> Bruce_Wayne:  or setup a entry in /etc/fstab for the devive to use what options you want.
[18:27] <Oer> gbear14275, i read flash wants to put a cookie, you block , maybe settings manager will help > http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager.html
[18:28] <gbear14275> Oer, I'll look into it but nonresponsiveness doesn't sound like a cookie issue to me
[18:29] <Bruce_Wayne> dr_willis: Actually with NTFS config tool I created mounting point in /media/ for two of my partitions. But Ubuntu was unable to mount it and was showing some error.. So I googled up and wrote this code into terminal
[18:29] <Bruce_Wayne> sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sde2 /media/CYBER-BEAST
[18:29] <dr_willis> Bruce_Wayne:  that is a one time mount..
[18:29] <dr_willis> you can use exctra options to ntfs-3g to allow all users to access it.
[18:30] <dr_willis> !ntfs-3g

[19:11] <JoeGazz84> Hey guys, I've got a 12-cell battery that lasts 5-7 hours on windows but it always gives me a 6min warning on ubuntu after only like 5 minutes. What is causing this?

[19:12] <jpms> hello, my ubuntu server is now stopping at grub after a shutdown -r now
[19:12] <jpms> I need it to go straight up to the OS, any idea?
[19:13] <dury> can someone help derpella, please
[19:13] <GNUtoo|laptop> dr_willis, it's installing....I hope it goes until the end
[19:13] <mx8> jpms: sudo reboot 0
[19:13] <savid> I'm looking for a good password management solution.  I'd like to start using randomly generated passwords for my websites, and then have them all encrypted.  More importantly, I need it to be portable, so that I can use it on multiple devices.
[19:13] <jpms> tnx mx8 lemme try
[19:14] <dury> deleted logs which took much disc space using nautilius as root, and they are not removed, but ":trashed". Root doesn't have a trash, where are the files?
[19:14] <nobody_> Guys, I need bluetooth PAN, so I compiled a kernel with bnep module. When I try to use pand it says "pand[3846]: Failed to connect to the local SDP server. Connection refused(111)"
[19:14] <MarderIII> savid: try keepass
[19:15] <meerkats> im using 11.10's fallback, how do I activate unity? are there other options beside fallback and unity?
[19:15] <mx8> dury: root does not have trash it deletes directly
[19:16] <derpella> mx8: no, the disk space wasn't freed
[19:16] <jpms> mx8: I was trying a bash script to wakeonlan the server and ssh once a ping was successful, so I was constantly halting the machine as root (~#halt). What could cause grub to stop like this?
[19:17] <jpms> mx8: btw, reboot 0 worked
[19:17] <elsid> how can I give user permission to change wifi networks?
[19:17] <nobody_> why does pand give me this error "pand[3846]: Failed to connect to the local SDP server. Connection refused(111)" ?
[19:17] <mx8> jpms: i do not know :(
[19:18] <jpms> mx8:thnx a lot
[19:18] <dury> mx8:  derpella said no

[19:19] <austinyb> well ubuntu is too slow on my hardware, what version of ubuntu would you recommend for netbooks that have really low specs
[19:19] <ssta> austinyb: lubuntu?
[19:20] <dury> derpella: I don't know... maybe you will notice when you restart the machine
[19:20] <mx8> derpella: hm . intresting
[19:20] <otak> austinyb: there's lot's; xubuntu and crunchbang are good
[19:20] <GNUtoo|laptop> ssta, there is also xubuntu with alternate install which I will try when it has finished installing
[19:20] <GNUtoo|laptop> ah failure
[19:20] <derpella> no, dury
[19:20] <dury> derpella: all right sorry
[19:21] <dury> mx8: then?
[19:21] <tomasm-> i just did a system update and now firefox keeps on crashing.... is there a way i can revert my version to something more stable? it's really annoying
[19:21] <GNUtoo|laptop> dr_willis, it failled at the "choosing and installing software(translation from french)"
[19:21] <derpella> nah, you needed to ask :)
[19:22] <GNUtoo|laptop> it didn't say why tough
[19:22] <mx8> derpella: try cd /root
[19:22] <austinyb> is kubuntu faster than ubuntu?
[19:22] <austinyb> i saw something bout the unity gui or something being slower than previous versions
[19:22] <derpella> nothing is there
[19:22] <derpella> checked
[19:22] <otak> austinyb: doubt it
[19:23] <mx8> derpella: cd /root ; ls -a

[19:28] <edbian> when's the next LTS?
[19:28] <kesavan> hello
[19:29] <xtreamer> hi
[19:29] <mx8> hi
[19:29] <xtreamer> I could use a help is this a support channel?
[19:29] <derpella> Found them :) root/.local/share/Trash
[19:29] <mx8> ok
[19:29] <derpella> thank you very much
[19:29] <mx8> xtreamer: yes
[19:29] <xtreamer> ok
[19:30] <zgr> mx8: so, minimal cds are not official?
[19:30] <dury> derpella: good on you :)
[19:30] <edbian> When is the next ubuntu LTS?
[19:30] <xtreamer> so It is a bit complicated... i have an wubi installation
[19:30] <xtreamer> on my c drive among with xp
[19:30] <JasonGriffee> how do i speed up the xorg ati driver?
[19:31] <mx8> zgr: you can found them :https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD#A64-bit_PC_.28amd64.2C_x86_64.29  here
[19:31] <xtreamer> and i've heard wubi is kind of slower
[19:31] <edbian> should I install 10.04 LTS or 12.04 LTS ?
[19:31] <dury> derpella: did you do by terminal or nautilus as root?
[19:31] <xtreamer> so i would like to move from wubi to real ubuntu
[19:31] <xtreamer> but keep xp
[19:32] <xtreamer> just like installing ubuntu on a dualboot with xp, but i would like to keep the current settings from wubi
[19:32] <JasonGriffee> !poll | edbian
[19:32] <mx8> xtreamer: download ubuntu from : http://www.ubuntu.com/download
[19:32] <Onepamopa> guys, anyone knows why ip alias with mask 255.255.255.255 doesnt work ?
[19:32] <Onepamopa> "cannot assing requested address"
[19:33] <Onepamopa> ?
[19:33] <Onepamopa> ubuntu 11.10
[19:33] <goozll`> hello, i made a wifi adhoc network on windows and i was able to access it with another windows pc. however i'm failing to connect to it with my kubuntu computer (with network-manager). could someone help me please?
[19:34] <urlin2u> xtreamer, you have a wubi install now?
[19:34] <xtreamer> yes
[19:34] <Onepamopa> C'mon guys Im on a clock here ...
[19:34] <Onepamopa> why the f?cking ip alias eth0:0 does not allow mask 255.255.255.255
[19:34] <xtreamer> and i like to make a real ubuntu install on a separate partition
[19:34] <xtreamer> from that wubi installation
[19:34] <mx8> Onepamopa: no
[19:34] <dury> ubuntu 11.10 is it possible to keep classic gnome desktop in that release?
[19:34] <Onepamopa> mx8 ?
[19:35] <mx8> Onepamopa: i do not know why alias does not work
[19:35] <xtreamer> @dury yes, when you logon you can select from there classic gnome desktop
[19:35] <urlin2u> xtreamer, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1519354
[19:35] <xtreamer> txs
[19:35] <dury> xtreamer: thanks indeed :)
[19:36] <xtreamer> no problem, hope you'll make it
[19:36] <Seveas> Onepamopa, because that netmask makes no sense whatsoever.
[19:36] <dury> xtreamer: I will no problem at all :)
[19:37] <xtreamer> urlin2u but, if i follow that tutorial, will i be able to boot both xp and ubuntu?:D
[19:37] <xtreamer> and transform the wubi installation into an usual ubuntu installation?
[19:37] <dury> xtreamer: by the way what are the differences between 11.04 and 11.10
[19:38] <xtreamer> you see i'm kindof new round here i don't know, i was just trying to find answers for me;))
[19:38] <xtreamer> google it
[19:38] <xtreamer> ;))
[19:38] <dury> ok, sorry
[19:38] <urlin2u> xtreamer, apparently so I have not used it, you may have to put grub in the mbr, but I suspect the script to move it does al the voodoo.
[19:38] <Seveas> xtreamer, you cannot turn a wubi install into a normal install
[19:39] <Seveas> oh, that thing promises otherwise. YMMV
[19:39] <xtreamer> ok, but can you tell me if is there any slight difference between wubi install and normal install
[19:39] <urlin2u> Seveas, yes you can read the link.
[19:39] <xtreamer> on performance i mean
[19:40] <Seveas> xtreamer, I'd advice backing up before running code from the forums. But give it a try :)
[19:40] <urlin2u> xtreamer, a wubi is ubuntu without all the grub files basically the same.
[19:40] <mx8> xtreamer: i think no .
[19:40] <urlin2u> always back up
[19:40] <xtreamer> well, then i don't see why should i make the move;)) txs anyway
[19:40] <xtreamer> txs mx8
[19:41] <mx8> :)
[19:41] <urlin2u> xtreamer, you might read wjht the wubi designer says before considering keeping the wub.  http://howsoftwareisbuilt.com/2009/03/12/interview-with-agostino-russo-wubi-ubuntu/i.
[19:41] <urlin2u> what*
[19:43] <xtreamer> @urlin2u the link changes when i click it i get something about inside-out open source
[19:43] <urlin2u> xtreamer, wubi may be pretty much the same but the difference is it is a file in windows not in its own partition, there is more difference then just the missing grub as far as stability.
[19:43] <Doodie1> hi, i need to know how to reset my irc password, please.
[19:44] <xtreamer> ok then is there any way to save the settings from wubi and then install a clean version of ubuntu on a formatted partition and install the settings form wubi on it?
[19:44] <urlin2u> xtreamer, try this http://howsoftwareisbuilt.com/2009/03/12/interview-with-agostino-russo-wubi-ubuntu/
[19:45] <xtreamer> ok now it works
[19:46] <mksogdne> hello
[19:46] <xtreamer> hi
[19:47] <LmAt> How do I turn off TTY7?
[19:48] <ssta> "turn off"?
[19:49] <xtreamer> i don't think you can
[19:49] <ssta> tty7 is generally where X sits
[19:49] <ssta> you want to turn off X?
[19:50] <LmAt> ssta; Yeah, turn off X (I think it's gnome)
[19:50] <urlin2u> Doodie1, go to #freenode and request a change
[19:50] <ssta> LmAt: remove (or disable) the window manager package (lightdm, gdm, or xdm probably)
[19:51] <LmAt> ssta; So to turn it off, I would disable it?
[19:51] <LmAt> ssta; Is there a kill that I can do?
[19:51] <otak> LmAt: maybe service gdm stop ?
[19:51] <ssta> that works temporarily
[19:53] <ssta> if you want to disable it always, edit /etc/init/gdm.conf
[19:53] <LmAt> ssta; Hows come "service --status-all | more" doesn't work as expected?
[19:53] <mksogdne> how i can copy my wallpaper to background folder in filesystem ?
[19:54] <LmAt> ssta; But William McCann wrote that!  I can't modify it!
[19:54] <urlin2u> mksogdne, /usr/share/wallpaper read some links on the web with this
[19:55] <ssta> LmAt: because someone is an idioty.  For xsome reason it outputs to stderr ratehr than stdout.  Do: service --status-all 2>&1 | more
[19:55] <LmAt> ssta; goodness...
[19:55] <LmAt> ssta; I don't want it that badly ;)
[19:56] <dr_willis> make an alias ;)
[19:56] <ssta> LmAt: umm, why can't you modify it?  just add "never" to the "start on" stuff
[19:56] <LmAt> ssta; uh-huh.
[19:56] <xtreamer> urlin2u i visited the link. so if they were planning to make a software on ubuntu 9.10 then there must be one software to upgrade from wubi 11.10 to a clean ubuntu 11.10 install on an empty partition:) is that right?
[19:56] <urlin2u> mksogdne, when you say background you mean like the grub menu or login?
[19:56] <LmAt> dr_willis; you're an alias!
[19:56] <ssta> never and filesystem and ....
[19:56] <LmAt> ssta; What is 'md'?
[19:57] <ssta> umm, metadisk maybe? I'm not sure
[19:57] <urlin2u> xtreamer, I doubt it we would know if there was one.

[20:12] <suzieq9302> thank you jutnux! no, what is that and how do I?
[20:12] <kasii> it was about few days a go i was  updating my pc through update manager  after that it gives me  to run partial upgrading and after that a problem arise

[20:12] <kasii> it was about few days a go i was  updating my pc through update manager  after that it gives me  to run partial upgrading and after that a problem arise

[20:14] <jutnux> There are some guides on Google, basically it allows you to use Windows drivers on Linux.
[20:14] <kasii> it was about few days a go i was  updating my pc through update manager  after that it gives me  to run partial upgrading and after that a problem arise
[20:14] <dougl> Hi kasii

[20:15] <dougl> same thanks = you?
[20:15] <kasii> can u help me my problem
[20:15] <suzieq9302> alright, I'm going to look around on the net, thank you, maybe that will help. on my windows side, the wireless is always disabled, and I have to enable it. when I do that (fn-f5) on my linux side it freezes (:( ). maybe ndiswrapper is the trick
[20:15] <mwdecavia> mksogdne: from a terminal window would definitely work, saying "cp -R -p olddirname /usr/share/backgroun
[20:15] <mwdecavia> d "
[20:15] <dougl> no
[20:16] <mksogdne> plz elaborate ?
[20:17] <kasii> it was about few days a go i was  updating my pc through update manager  after that it gives me  to run partial upgrading and after that a problem arise
[20:17] <mwdecavia> mksogdne: do you know how to get a terminal window?
[20:17] <ikonia> kasii: stop repeating the same thing over and over

[20:17] <jutnux> kasii: Just ask once, jesus.
[20:17] <mksogdne> i am asking about the command !
[20:18] <twat> Hello
[20:18] <suzieq9302> meerr, I can't install ndiswrapper because I can't get on the internet, bummer
[20:18] <ikonia> jutnux: it will end now, if he comes back please give him a chance
[20:18] <jutnux> Of course, I did sign the Ubuntu CoC ;)
[20:20] <mwdecavia> mksogdne: cd to the directory above the one containing all your backgrounds, then type "cp -R -p (the name of the directory holding the backgrounds) /usr/share/background", it will copy everything including subdirectories to /usr/share/background

[20:23] <sjtest> this seems to work \o/ sorry for the noise! bye
[20:24] <bs_> jutnux, how about uget and kget?
[20:24] <dwigton> Looking for a solution to being stuck in unity 2d. I only get a wallpaper in 3d mode.
[20:26] <gorgon25> Hello
[20:26] <suzieq9302> does 11.10 have a lot of issues or should I not upgrade from 11.04?
[20:26] <bs_> which is better uget or kget as file download manager?
[20:26] <ssta> suzieq9302: 11.10 works fine.  Especially if you like Unity.
[20:27] <suzieq9302> i don't like unity, sorry, but I do want to upgrade
[20:27] <dwigton> 11.10 is great for me at home. I am having a little graphics trouble at work, but I think it is an outlier problem
[20:27] <ssta> suzieq9302: there's a bazillion guides on the internet about how to switch from unity to gnome.  Why not try it in a VM first and see if you have any issues?
[20:27] <dwigton> Unity gets a bit more polished in 11.10 but still requires compiz configuration manager.
[20:28] <rujar> unity to gnome: change session to gnome classic right?
[20:28] <Q-collective> hey all, I was wondering if anyone was interested in giving this idea a shot: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1905352 (cloning the OSX backup software, called Time Machine, to Linux as open source software)
[20:28] <manuel_> dieeee
[20:28] <ssta> rujar: you have to install it first...it's not installed by default in 11.10
[20:29] <manuel_> dieeeeeee bitcheeeeeeeeeees
[20:29] <magma> I have a user that is not admin, and ubuntu is always asking for admin password when he tries to change the wireless network (i.e. connect to other network)... why does this happen
[20:29] <g0th> hi
[20:29] <gorgon25> Sorry to be a pain, can anyone read this post
[20:29] <parabinn> hi..
[20:29] <Teratogen> I installed VLC, but I don't see the VLC icon on the desktop
[20:29] <rujar> ssta, install it through the package manager (call software centre there in the system part) you install (reinstall) the gnome-base.. it's in there
[20:29] <g0th> how do I change the number of worspaces in unity/ubuntu?
[20:29] <Teratogen> what did I do wrong?
[20:29] <faux_sho> gorgon25: yep
[20:29] <manuel_> suck my dick
[20:29] <bs_> which is better uget or kget as file download manager?
[20:29] <dwigton> gorgon25: no one can see it.
[20:30] <faux_sho> !poll | bs_
[20:30] <gorgon25> thanks buddy :)
[20:30] <dr_willis> Teratogen: coyuld be you need to logout/back in. or some how get the menus to reload. Or just run from a terminal. and pin it to the panel
[20:30] <rujar> ssta, the gnome package in total I mean ofcourse
[20:30] <Teratogen> well, the standard desktop has a top task bar and some icons running down the left side
[20:31] <Teratogen> wouldn't the VLC icon be added to those?
[20:31] <ssta> rujar: I know how it's done, I was telling suzieq :)
[20:31] <Teratogen> is there a menu like KDE for programs?
[20:31] <dr_willis> Teratogen:  they may need to get refreshed/reloaded...
[20:31] <Teratogen> ok
[20:31] <dr_willis> Teratogen:  'like kde' ?
[20:31] <rujar> ssta: lolled
[20:31] <ssta> Teratogen: not usually, no.  You have to add it.
[20:31] <Teratogen> ssta, ok
[20:31] <dwigton> has anyone had experience getting unity to display in 3d mode. I am only getting a wallpaper.
[20:31] <dr_willis> Teratogen:  theres classic gnome type menu indicator applets also
[20:32] <Teratogen> dr_willis, KDE has a "start" menu, from which you can launch most if not all graphical apps
[20:32] <Teratogen> ah
[20:32] <frxstrem> hello, I have just rebooted my computer and suddenly the screen resolution dropped to 1024x768 for no apparent reason; can anyone help me, please?
[20:32] <dr_willis> Teratogen:  list of them at the askubuntu.com (i may have it bookmarked at delicious.com/dr_willis )
[20:32] <Teratogen> ok thanks
[20:32] <rujar> frxstrem, can you manually change the resolution back?
[20:33] <g0th> how do I change the number of worspaces in unity/ubuntu?
[20:33] <frxstrem> rujar: no, I only have the options for 1024x768 and 800x600 (my usual resolution is 1600x900)
[20:34] <dr_willis> g0th:  ccsm tool can do that.
[20:34] <dr_willis> g0th:  but i think with unity it has to be a 2 x X mutiple.
[20:34] <OliveGreen> Hi all.
[20:34] <dougl> Hello
[20:35] <johan__> hi
[20:35] <g0th> dr_willis: at the moment I have 4 horizontal and 1 vertical
[20:35] <g0th> and any change in ccsm doesn't do anything
[20:35] <rujar> frxstrem, what does lspci say?
[20:35] <OliveGreen> Is there a way I can uninstall Firefox, along with all the extensions I installed on it, and not just the browser itself?
[20:35] <SupYoshi> Hey guys, question, I uninstalled a package on accident and then it removed some databases I believe and files
[20:35] <SupYoshi> from databases... =/ and now theyre gone i think
[20:35] <g0th> I don't even know where unity is getting the "4" from, I never found it anywhere
[20:36] <dr_willis> OliveGreen:  if the user installed extensions.. they are in their .firefox or .mozilla dir.
[20:36] <Q-collective> OliveGreen: the extensions are installed in ~/.firefox/plugins/
[20:36] <SupYoshi> http://pastebin.com/p19J0cCX
[20:36] <SupYoshi> this is what happened
[20:36] <Teratogen> OliveGreen, Firefox IS ther browser
[20:36] <frxstrem> rujar: http://pastebin.com/Yex4R7Lq
[20:36] <Teratogen> err, the*
[20:37] <OliveGreen> Teratogen, Yeah. I know. I guess I failed to explain myself correctly. :-)
[20:37] <Teratogen> you just want to remove the extensions?
[20:37] <Teratogen> why?
[20:37] <Teratogen> extensions are good, usually
[20:37] <OliveGreen> dr_willis, Q-collective and Teratogen. Thanks. :)
[20:38] <dr_willis> firefox has its own interface to remove extensions...
[20:38] <Q-collective> indeed
[20:38] <Q-collective> just remove the via firefox
[20:38] <Teratogen> Yes, Ubuntu add two annoying extensions to Firefox.
[20:38] <OliveGreen> Teratogen, actually, I wanted to completely uninstall Firefox and install it back again.
[20:39] <Teratogen> adds&
[20:39] <dr_willis> OliveGreen:  for what reason?
[20:39] <dr_willis> OliveGreen:  that will NOT reset the users firefox settings
[20:40] <rujar> frxstrem, did you try reinstalling the nvidia-current package?\
[20:40] <OliveGreen> Teratogen, I'm not sure what happened, but shortly after I installed the extensions Textareachache and Lazarus, Firefox started acting really weird.
[20:40] <Q-collective> OliveGreen: if you want to clear out any possible user related settings (bookmarks, extensions, etc), you need to delete the ~/.mozilla or the ~/.firefox directory.
[20:40] <Q-collective> you can also rename them, so they are backed up
[20:40] <OliveGreen> sorry, that was for you dr_willis. :)
[20:40] <OliveGreen> Q-collective, I see.
[20:41] <SupYoshi> please help :(
[20:41] <dr_willis> OliveGreen:  remove/rein stalling firefox will NOT touch the user installed extensions.
[20:41] <dr_willis> OliveGreen:  move/rename your .firefox dir, or  use the ff tools to remove extensions
[20:41] <dougl> SupYoshi, so you are missing files? I don't understand your issue.
[20:42] <SupYoshi> it removed these files :(
[20:42] <SupYoshi> Can i get em back? :(
[20:42] <SupYoshi> I needed em x__x
[20:42] <Q-collective> SupYoshi: do you have a backup?
[20:42] <SupYoshi> eh..
[20:42] <ssta> SupYoshi: they're probably gone unless you have a backup
[20:42] <SupYoshi> :3 cool
[20:42] <bs_> can i run paltalk on ubuntu 11.10
[20:42] <SupYoshi> yea well its basicly standard xbmc trash
[20:42] <SupYoshi> I just need tor einstall my whole xbmc system now
[20:43] <SupYoshi> (Like i did 1 day ago)
[20:43] <SupYoshi> to get em back :3
[20:43] <SupYoshi> theyre standard.. but still
[20:43] <FloodBot1> SupYoshi: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:43] <guntbert> !enter | SupYoshi
[20:43] <AlanBell> SupYoshi: it didn't remove any databases or data
[20:43] <SupYoshi> i have no idea how to get em back :3.... Maybe I could just copy em from the live cd i used
[20:43] <frxstrem> rjuar: I've done it now, so I'll just reboot and see if that works
[20:44] <frxstrem> ^ rujar *
[20:44] <SupYoshi> Allenbell: What did it do then? I need to get that stuff back :D IF u know how I would be so awesomness
[20:44] <dr_willis> use the pakage manager tools to reinstall the app.
[20:44] <SupYoshi> Before I was able to access, hostname:8080, and after I did this stuff, it says file not found, it seems like I removed some databases, for mysql... =/ somehow :O
[20:44] <AlanBell> it just removed some packages, you can put them back with sudo apt-get install asterisk-mysql xbmc xbmc-bin . . . etc
[20:45] <AlanBell> SupYoshi: you have installed something which conflicts with the other stuff, if you reinstall the stuff that was removed then mysql-cluster-client will be removed
[20:45] <SupYoshi> AlanBell: if this works you are my hero... :D
[20:46] <AlanBell> SupYoshi: looking at it this might be a packaging bug
[20:46] <frxstrem> rujar: no, it didn't work :(
[20:46] <ssta> XBMC is a third party thing....who knows what packaging problems it has
[20:46] <mwdecavia> is there any linux/ubuntu solution for viewing web pages which depend on activex controls?
[20:47] <rujar> frxstrem, ok, does it show any propietry drivers?
[20:47] <AlanBell> mwdecavia: possibly a windows browser running under wine, but I wouldn't be too hopeful about it
[20:48] <mwdecavia> ty AlanBell
[20:48] <Q-collective> yeah, ActiveX pretty much runs only in Windows
[20:48] <Q-collective> MS made sure of that
[20:48] <Q-collective> :)
[20:48] <mongy> mwdecavia, not the best solution but a virtual install of windows...
[20:49] <SupYoshi> Hey THNX ! It worked :D WOoohooo :D
[20:49] <rujar> frxstrem, another possibility is to manually activate the driver in the xorg.conf. do you know how to that?
[20:49] <frxstrem> rujar: well...I tried running nvidia-xconfig
[20:49] <frxstrem> but that just make my computer freeze during boot
[20:50] <AlanBell> SupYoshi: yay \o/ I suspect that mysql-cluster-client conflicts with mysql-client-core and a heap of other things depend on mysql-client-core
[20:50] <mwdecavia> I was trying to configure a jetdirect by it's builin web page, but the page depends on installing an activex control from the jetdirect to the pc, and windows rejects the activex control for security reasons
[20:51] <kasii> hi all
[20:51] <rujar> frxstrem, does the xorg.conf mention nvidia gt?
[20:51] <Success> hi all
[20:52] <AlanBell> hi kasii, welcome back, please ask your question once
[20:52] <rujar> hi kasii and Success
[20:52] <ssta> mwdecavia: oh...you should be able to telnet to a jetdirect to configure it.  Usually they don't need much configuring though
[20:52] <evandroid> welcome all
[20:52] <Success> i installed gnome3. i logged into it ever since i cant access my applications, it broke unity. it might have something to do with that while trying to install kde it failed on something idk what
[20:52] <kasii> it was about few days a go i was  updating my pc through update manager  after that it gives me  to run partial upgrading and after that a problem arise
[20:52] <evandroid> nice system
[20:53] <ssta> kasii: unless you can give more detail than that,l you're never getting an answer (no matter how many times you ask)
[20:53] <AlanBell> kasii: can you please start a terminal and run sudo apt-get update
[20:53] <g0th> how do I change the number of worspaces in unity/ubuntu?
[20:53] <Success> it started and did a couple things and on one of the downloads/installs it stopped at 0% (internet fail) internet showed as going but it didnt work all my terminals failed and everything ui still worked
[20:53] <AlanBell> kasii: followed by sudo apt-get upgrade, then paste the results to paste.ubuntu.com
[20:53] <g0th> I tried ccsm but no matter what I do in "general options -> desktop stuff" it has no effect
[20:53] <kasii> okay let me type the commnd then am gonna give the output
[20:54] <AlanBell> kasii: do not paste the output here
[20:54] <AlanBell> !paste | kasii
[20:54] <kasii> so whrere to paste
[20:54] <yeats> !pastebin | kasii
[20:54] <Teratogen> didn't Microsoft give up on Silverlight?
[20:54] <Success> use pastee.org
[20:54] <EvilToaster> Does anyone know how to disable vims browsing function? without chroot or something like that
[20:54] <Teratogen> oops
[20:54] <Teratogen> off topic
[20:55] <SupYoshi> AlanBell! YOU ARE SO THANKED! THANK YOU SO MUCH
[20:55] <frxstrem> rujar: it mentions "nvidia" as a device driver, whatever that means...
[20:55] <AlanBell> kasii: after you have put the results on paste.ubuntu.com you can paste the URL to the page in here
[20:57] <kasii> alan bell the url is this one http://paste.ubuntu.com/796373/
[20:57] <AlanBell> kasii: "sudo apt-get update"
[20:57] <kasii> let me type that

[21:00] <kofa> Hi, I need some help with oneiric.
[21:00] <AlanBell> !ask | kofa
[21:01] <Q-collective> hey all, I was wondering if anyone was interested in giving this idea a shot: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1905352 (cloning the OSX backup software, called Time Machine, to Linux as open source software)
[21:02] <ikonia> no
[21:02] <Monroe> lol
[21:02] <ssta> Q-collective: this is probably the wrong channel to be asking is.  This is for users, not developers
[21:02] <ikonia> Q-collective: please don't post that sort of thing here, it's a support channel not a team gathering channel
[21:02] <kasii> alanbell take this url   http://paste.ubuntu.com/796377/
[21:02] <g0th> how do I change the number of worspaces in unity/ubuntu?
[21:03] <kofa> I have small kids, and want to prevent them from opening the DVD tray by pressing the eject button. Prior to oneiric, placing /bin/mount /dev/scd0 and /usr/bin/eject -i 1 in /etc/rc.local worked (with a disc in the drive at all times). With oneiric, the DVD is often ejected when entering standby mode, and after resume, it can be ejected using the eject button.
[21:03] <AlanBell> kasii: ok, that completed without errors, it looks fine. Now try "sudo apt-get upgrade"
[21:03] <kasii> alanbell  this url http://paste.ubuntu.com/796377/
[21:03] <axisys> I were able to run alt+ctl+bkspc to kill the X in natty and previous releases.. how do I do it in oneric ?
[21:03] <kasii> okay
[21:04] <Q-collective> ssta, ikonia: you have possible alternatives? Also, I would argue this thread is for users too. What I am hoping for is more users saying "what a grand idea! I'm putting down €50 too!", time 100 or so, so some devs mights get interested.
[21:04] <kofa> I'm on 3.0.0-14-generic #23-Ubuntu SMP Mon Nov 21 20:34:47 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux (uname -a)

[21:04] <axisys> dr_willis: thanks
[21:04] <ikonia> Q-collective: it is a good idea, but trying to get people to fund your ideas is not really the usage of this channel

[21:04] <root_> hi
[21:04] <root_> can you help me?
[21:04] <ikonia> Q-collective: similar results can be obtained if you put thought into using rsync
[21:04] <AlanBell> hi root_ , please don't IRC as root
[21:05] <dr_willis> !ask
[21:05] <axisys> dr_willis: says 9.10 or higher.. so technically that should work for 11.10 .. unless there is a newer doc ?
[21:05] <Q-collective> ikonia: Time Machine is basically just a shiny front for rsync. I know rsync. I want a shiny, easy to use and efficient frontend ;)
[21:06] <ikonia> Q-collective: there are guis for rsync
[21:06] <jake1> is there a way to do a repair install of ubuntu 11.10 from cd
[21:06] <mwdecavia> Q-collective: tk/tcl makes front ends easy(er)
[21:07] <axisys> dr_willis: never mind..
[21:07] <h066i1y> Hey this is a test
[21:07] <ssta> Q-collective: qtdsync (I think that's the name) is almost the same -- it does incrementals using hardlinks.  This really is offtopic for here though.  Try #ubuntu-offtopic
[21:07] <dr_willis> !info unison
[21:07] <paolo8> can you help me?
[21:07] <Q-collective> ssta: I'll have a look

[21:08] <paolo8> i have backtrack5 based ubuntu 10.04 lts

[21:09] <ikonia> paolo8: #backtrack-linux is the correct place to ask

[21:09] <paolo8> the problem is nouveau kernel

[21:10] <ikonia> paolo8: #backtrack-linux is the correct place to ask
[21:10] <ikonia> g0th: perfect
[21:10] <g0th> how do I change the number of worspaces in unity/ubuntu?
[21:10] <jake1> i broke my ubuntu trying to get rid of unity...now it sticks on spash screen at CUPS Enabled
[21:11] <paolo8> #backtrack-linux :Cannot send to channel
[21:11] <AlanBell> g0th: yes, that is a reasonable timescale :) so, if you install compizconfig-settings-manager there is a setting for it
[21:11] <ikonia> paolo8: you need to be registered
[21:11] <ikonia> !register | paolo8
[21:11] <ikonia> paolo8: ask #freenode can help you with getting registered
[21:11] <mwdecavia> g0th: every time you've repeated that question, you've misspelled "workspace" in the same way
[21:11] <kofa> jake1: you can try another session type, try the cogwheel icon at the logon dialog.
[21:11] <urlin2u> jake1, you need t9 give the detrails leading you there.
[21:11] <kasii> alanbell url this after type the command http://paste.ubuntu.com/796386/
[21:11] <urlin2u> to*/details*
[21:11] <Celphish> Elo
[21:12] <AlanBell> g0th: in the compiz general options, there is a tab for desktop size, you can set the horizontal and vertical number of desktops there
[21:12] <Oer> g0th, https://help.ubuntu.com/11.10/ubuntu-help/shell-workspaces.html
[21:12] <jake1> what dou mean by session type? i don't get to a login dialog?
[21:12] <AlanBell> kasii: ok, that completed without error too. There is nothing wrong with your package system and your computer is fully up to date
[21:13] <kofa> jake1: sorry, I thought you get stuck after login. :-(
[21:13] <kasii> so as i try to shut it down even to restart it load for along but it wont reste
[21:14] <jake1> nope i get stuck before login..it just sits there doing nothing
[21:14] <kasii> restart or to shut down
[21:14] <kasii> so AllanBell what to do
[21:15] <kasii> cuz its really irritating me
[21:15] <jake1> this iswhat i used http://linux-software-news-tutorials.blogspot.com/2011/10/ubuntu-1110-oneiric-remove-unity-and.html
[21:15] <mx8> hi
[21:15] <Celphish> Can anyone tell me how to uninstall a citrix receiver in ubuntu?
[21:15] <dr_willis> jake1:  you dont get to the lightdm login screen?
[21:15] <Celphish> I need to install an older version
[21:16] <dr_willis> Celphish:  depends on how you installed it.
[21:16] <friskd> Hey all anyone ubber familiar w/ Curl.   I'm having a bizzare issue.
[21:16] <jake1> dr_willis: no login screen dies at spash statrup 5 dots go across for hours
[21:16] <kasii> cuz its really irritating me AllanBell
[21:16] <g0th> ohh, someone responded, sorry
[21:16] <dr_willis> !nomodeset | jake1
[21:16] <friskd> Doing this: curl --insecure --include -i http://api.mysite.com/categories.json   is different than doing this: curl --insecure --include -I http://api.mysite.com/categories.json
[21:16] <kasii> as it fails shut down
[21:16] <dr_willis> jake1:  or try the 'text' kernel option to get to a console login.
[21:16] <dr_willis> !text | jake1
[21:16] <friskd> the difference being the lowercase vs capital I
[21:16] <friskd> param
[21:16] <Celphish> dr_willis: well, it is a live cd.. hmm.. maybe I should just restart and try again
[21:16] <g0th> AlanBell: I used ccsm to change the number but it had no effect at all
[21:16] <kasii> allanbell are u there
[21:16] <friskd> It causes different behavior in my code and i'm trying to figure out why
[21:17] <Celphish> but before I do, got another question for you, if I start with the live cd, and install a bunch of programs and get them to work, and decide to install, will the changes I've made be saved?
[21:17] <AlanBell> g0th: unity 2d or 3d?
[21:17] <g0th> I don't know
[21:17] <kasii> allan read ma posts
[21:17] <AlanBell> kasii: here and many many other places
[21:17] <kasii> sorry for that
[21:17] <bastidrazor> friskd: look at the manpage for curl
[21:17] <Celphish> nvm, I'll be right back, have to reboot
[21:18] <Celphish> exit
[21:18] <friskd> bastidrazor: I did, but i'm not finding anything that would indicate the issue.
[21:18] <kasii> so what can i do @Allanbell
[21:18] <mx8> kassi: what is your problem ?
[21:19] <g0th> how do I find out if I have unity 2d or 3d?
[21:19] <AlanBell> kasii: I don't really know, but I just googled and found this troubleshooting guide for shutdown issues -> http://www.brighthub.com/computing/linux/articles/39504.aspx
[21:19] <jake1> i will try the repair broken system on the CD thanks
[21:19] <Myrtti> !tab > kasii
[21:20] <AlanBell> g0th: is the launcher bar black or a darker shade of your desktop wallpaper? I suspect you have unity 2d
[21:21] <g0th> which launcher?
[21:21] <g0th> lets assume I have unity 2d anyway
[21:21] <xtreamer> um...hi
[21:22] <rujar> btw, is there already a solution to the compiz-moving-windows-slowdown-bug for aticards?
[21:23] <xtreamer> when I start my pc it doesnt stop on the dualboot screen and so it directly starts with ubuntu, is there any method to edit the boot to see also the windows xp  on boot?
[21:24] <AlanBell> xtreamer: if you hold down shift from bootup you should get to the grub screen
[21:24] <xtreamer> only if?
[21:25] <xtreamer> i mean shouldnt it appear automatticaly?
[21:25] <guntbert> xtreamer: have a look into /etc/default/grub   - but you can press <shift> at boot time till the grub menu appears
[21:25] <stowoda> how and what to save/backup when I want to do a new install of ubuntu?
[21:25] <AlanBell> xtreamer: yeah, it should, I don't know why it isn't but that might help you get to it so you can see what is going on
[21:25] <xtreamer> @guntbert and now what should i do with the grub file
[21:26] <AlanBell> stowoda: depends on what it is you want to keep really
[21:26] <stowoda> hmm
[21:27] <stowoda> AlanBell,  my personal data first of all
[21:27] <xtreamer> so what must i modify on the grub file because there is no mention of windows in here
[21:27] <AlanBell> stowoda: what operating system?
[21:27] <guntbert> xtreamer: find the line GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0  and put a # in front, like #GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
[21:27] <xtreamer> GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 GRUB_TIMEOUT=10
[21:27] <stowoda> ubuntu.. aehm maverick
[21:27] <DoctorD> what other linux & ubuntu related channels are on freenode ?
[21:27] <escott> !alis | DoctorD
[21:27] <xtreamer> so it is the hidden timeout that should be disabled ok
[21:27] <guntbert> xtreamer: and the run sudo update-grub
[21:28] <AlanBell> xtreamer: personally I would first try holding shift before editing any files
[21:28] <xtreamer> guntbert what about the grub_hidden_timeout_quiet=true
[21:28] <AlanBell> lets see if you can get into windows or if windows is even there
[21:28] <xtreamer> is that ok?
[21:28] <DoctorD> !msg alis list #ubuntu
[21:28] <AlanBell> DoctorD:  it is a /
[21:28] <guntbert> xtreamer: yes, that remains
[21:28] <stowoda> AlanBell, I am working on maverick meerkat
[21:28] <xtreamer> ok txs i'll give it a shot
[21:28] <xtreamer> brb
[21:29] <DoctorD> @AlanBell: thanks
[21:29] <AlanBell> stowoda: ok, so you have been using maverick, and you want to do a clean install of 11.10  oneiric but you want to back up data first?
[21:29] <AlanBell> stowoda: you should be fine taking a backup of everything under /home
[21:30] <stowoda> AlanBell, ok... just copy /home somewhere ?
[21:31] <stowoda> AlanBell, like: cp -r /home /mnt/EXTUSB/ ?
[21:32] <guntbert> AlanBell: wouldn't /etc be also wise for stowoda (just in case...) ?
[21:32] <AlanBell> yes, could be handy, but don't randomly put that one back
[21:32] <stowoda> what is the content of /etc ?
[21:33] <AlanBell> it is lots of application settings that you could have customised, but probably haven't
[21:33] <xtreamer> ok so now the boot appears but there is no windows xp option
[21:33] <escott> stowoda, you want to use the -a argument to protect permissions. also not a good idea to copy to FAT as it wont respect permissions
[21:33] <AlanBell> xtreamer: how did you install Ubuntu and XP?
[21:34] <xtreamer> initially i had xp then i installed wubi now i have migrated wubi to an empty partition away from windows
[21:34] <stowoda> escott, hmm... what about ntfs ?
[21:34] <xtreamer> so where can i find in the old wubi installation the bootloader file?
[21:34] <AlanBell> permissions are probably not a big deal for your personal data files stowoda. Is it a single user computer?
[21:34] <ssta> ntfs won't either (unless you're plugged into a windows domain)
[21:35] <stowoda> AlanBell, yes it is
[21:35] <stowoda> ssta, ok understand
[21:35] <xtreamer> ok so alanbell initially when using wubi and xp i was not using grub, i was using boot.ini
[21:35] <xtreamer> from windows
[21:35] <xtreamer> now i installed grub loader
[21:36] <g0th> re
[21:36] <g0th> I restarted unity and everything crashed
[21:36] <xtreamer> so what should i copy from boot.ini to grub file in order to make it work?
[21:36] <urlin2u> xtreamer, boot into ubuntu s=and run sudo update-grub again
[21:36] <g0th> anyway I still have the same problem:
[21:36] <AlanBell> xtreamer: ok, I don't know much about wubi (or windows), but someone else may be able to track down where your windows went to
[21:36] <kasii> allanbell i have try this sudo reboot 0 and repeat then action
[21:36] <urlin2u> xtreamer, no copying from the old bootloader will be your answer here.
[21:37] <g0th> How do I change the number of workspaces in unity/ubuntu? I tried to use ccsm => general options => etc.. but all the changes there seem to have no effect at all...
[21:37] <AlanBell> g0th: yeah, I am not sure where the unity2d dimensions are set
[21:37] <Owner__> you know how you can install chromium with non-free codecs?  how would you do that in Windows?
[21:37] <stowoda> once I have installed ubuntu I just have to copy /home back?
[21:37] <escott> stowoda, same problem. you can back up the data, but you have to be aware that your permissions will be broken which matters for things like ssh keys
[21:37] <g0th> how do I switch to 3d?
[21:37] <AlanBell> !tab | kasii
[21:37] <urlin2u> xtreamer, have you run a update-grub from the ubuntu yet?
[21:37] <Auriga> Sometimes I get an issue with hitting a key, & that key getting stuck, nothing I do can stop it from being entered again, & again, except restarting the system, any ideas what this is?
[21:37] <xtreamer> i have, now:))
[21:38] <kasii> okay thanks for that
[21:38] <stowoda> escott, hmm. ok
[21:38] <urlin2u> xtreamer, that should do it
[21:38] <xtreamer> wait to see if it appears anything about windows in the grub file
[21:39] <xtreamer> i mean urlin2u you know what i did i migrated wubi to another partition
[21:39] <urlin2u> xtreamer, it would show (XP) in the terminal whan you run the command you can run it again if you want.
[21:39] <xtreamer> yes it shows
[21:39] <xtreamer> found microsoft xp pro
[21:39] <xtreamer> bla bla
[21:39] <urlin2u> xtreamer, I recognized that yes.
[21:39] <urlin2u> xtreamer, I think your in like flynn. :D
[21:39] <xtreamer> ok, i'll give it a try txs
[21:40] <kasii> AlanBell,  anything more
[21:40] <kasii> about ma priblem
[21:40] <g0th> found it!!
[21:40] <g0th> gconftool-2 -s -t int /apps/metacity/general/num_workspaces 6
[21:40] <stowoda> there are often updates for ubuntu.. in many cases I dont know what they are for. should I generally install them all?
[21:40] <g0th> :)
[21:40] <AlanBell> kasii: I have no idea what you have done, you were looking at a troubleshooting guide right?
[21:40] <g0th> but no "normal"/dummy user will find this
[21:40] <Ben64> stowoda: yes
[21:40] <overclucker> stowoda: if you archive your home foldeer, you could store on fat or ntfs
[21:40] <AlanBell> g0th: normal users are not supposed to want more!
[21:41] <g0th> ofc
[21:41] <g0th> they should always strive for more
[21:41] <kasii> AlanBell,
[21:41] <stowoda> Ben64, hmm ok if you say so
[21:41] <Success> how do i reset unity
[21:41] <Ben64> stowoda: they are bugfixes and security updates for the most part\
[21:41] <Success> its not seeing my applications
[21:41] <stowoda> overclucker, you are sure?
[21:41] <kasii> AlanBell, give me the guide
[21:41] <overclucker> stowoda: something like tar -capf home.tar.bz2 /home/yourname/*
[21:41] <rujar> success: logout, login
[21:42] <AlanBell> kasii: I don't really know, but I just googled and found this troubleshooting guide for shutdown issues -> http://www.brighthub.com/computing/linux/articles/39504.aspx
[21:42] <pnorman> I was going to ask a question about the compatibility of a AOC-USAS2-L8e SAS/SATA card with Ubuntu. Would this be better addressed to ubuntuforums, help.ubuntu.com or askubuntu?
[21:42] <AlanBell> is what I said earlier kasii
[21:42] <stowoda> overclucker, is it wise to tar them all?
[21:42] <g0th> otherwise it would mean that we make the assumption that "normal" users are dumb and not interested in much, which might be correct but despite beeing correct we still want to believe that this is not the case resp. try to make it a reality ^^
[21:42] <overclucker> stowoda: tar will preserve permissions if you tell it to
[21:42] <stowoda> overclucker, understand..
[21:42] <g0th> anyway
[21:42] <g0th> issue solved :)
[21:42] <JasonGriffee> I am outputting my video to a TV via VGA, but It is off-center. How can I remedy this?
[21:42] <kasii> let me check it  AlanBell
[21:42] <Success> rujar: already tried that
[21:43] <kofa> Q-collective: while not exactly a pretty frontend, dirvish is a nice rsync-based solution for automatic backups with history
[21:43] <AlanBell> g0th: it isn't assuming that, it is setting sensible defaults that people don't need to change. 4 workspaces is fine for most users.
[21:43] <Success> gnome 3 broke it
[21:43] <overclucker> stowoda: tar is made for creating backup archives
[21:43] <g0th> yeah but if we assume that users want to change this value according to their needs we need to make it "reasonably" simple to do that
[21:43] <Success> i guess not. well how do i make it see my applications then
[21:44] <elias123> how register in #backtrack-linux
[21:44] <stowoda> overclucker, does: tar -capf home.tar.bz2 /home/yourname/* has a progress bar ?
[21:44] <g0th> 4 workspaces is really very few
[21:44] <AlanBell> !register > elias123
[21:44] <elias123> in freenode server?
[21:44] <g0th> even 6 is often not enough
[21:44] <Celphish> aand back with a fresh booted livecd, time to battle that damn citrix receiver
[21:44] <AlanBell> elias123: ask in #freenode if you need further assistance with that
[21:45] <faux_sho> JasonGriffee: It might be your tv. Have you gone through the video menu? I had to change my tv's resolution settings to match what I had it set to in Ubuntu.
[21:45] <overclucker> stowoda: no, if you did 'tar -capvf' it will be verbose abotu which files it is archiving, no progress report though
[21:45] <AlanBell> Success: is it that the applications lens is broken?
[21:45] <elias123> I am already registered on freenode
[21:45] <stowoda> overclucker, will do it that way. thank You
[21:46] <elias123> i want ask in #backtrack-linux
[21:46] <AlanBell> elias123: probably because your ircname is root, but once again, this is not the right place to ask
[21:46] <Success> whats applications lens
[21:46] <Success> probably
[21:46] <elias123> nickname and relaname elia123
[21:46] <AlanBell> Success: does the dash open and have some icons at the bottom, one being music, one files and possibly one applications?
[21:46] <dr_willis> elias123:  go ask in #freenode
[21:46] <xtreamer> um... txs a lot, it worked!
[21:47] <stowoda> overclucker, do I need to be root to execute that command?
[21:47] <elias123> ok but how command for ask in #backtrack-linux
[21:47] <elias123> ?
[21:47] <Success> yes it has that
[21:47] <dr_willis> elias123:  /join #freenode   ans ask about your joining issues.
[21:48] <AlanBell> elias123: go and ask in #freenode, and /whois yourself. You are called root and probably banned for your own safety
[21:48] <Success> but the only things that work are the files and direct links
[21:48] <AlanBell> Success: ok, the apps lens is broken then it seems
[21:49] <overclucker> stowoda: you can safely. that's what the p in -cavpf if for. it protects file permissions when using tar as root
[21:49] <kofa> On oneiric, I have System Settings -> Screen -> Lock: ON Lock screen after: 30 seconds - but it never locks.
[21:51] <Success> AlanBell: how do I fix it?
[21:51] <kasii> al
[21:52] <kasii> AlanBell,  still try to do but no success
[21:52] <xtreamer> what's the problem kasii
[21:52] <Success> i saw somewhere just now to do unity --reset i got a couple errors saying no /com/canocal/unity/lens/files
[21:52] <AlanBell> Success: good question, the package is unity-lens-applications, could try reinstalling it
[21:53] <legacy> o
[21:53] <JasonGriffee> faux_sho: Thank you, come to find out the "computer settings" on my TV where separate from "Picture Settings". Found them after a double take.
[21:53] <Success> ok thanks ill do sudo apt-get install unity-lens-applications
[21:53] <DonJuan692006> Ive got a desktop that I'm trying to get to boot into Ubuntu 11.10 from USB that's just sitting at the ubuntu boot logo
[21:53] <faux_sho> JasonGriffee: No problem. Glad it's working.
[21:54] <legacy> o
[21:54] <ActionParsnip> DonJuan692006: what video chip do you use?
[21:54] <DonJuan692006> Radeon HD 5770
[21:54] <ActionParsnip> DonJuan692006: did you MD5 test the ISO you put on the USB?
[21:54] <DonJuan692006> Yea...checked out fine
[21:55] <dr_willis> !nomodeset | DonJuan692006
[21:56] <DonJuan692006> The display is fine and ive installed Ubuntu 11.04 on this machine before so I don't think that's it.
[21:56] <DonJuan692006> Its probably note worthy that the reason I
[21:57] <LABcrab> Hey!  With Chromium, i don't have a "little left white arrow" in the Unity Dock, despite the browser being open.  What's happening?
[21:57] <DonJuan692006> I'm trying to do this is because I'm trying to get a hard drive partition fixed for a friend.
[21:57]  * Cinober is back from: auto-away after 15m idle (been away for 1d 12h 19m)
[21:57] <DonJuan692006> Windows isn't recognizing the drive and is wanting to format the partition. I wanted to try using the disk utility in ubuntu
[21:58] <xtreamer> donjuan maybe you should have a look into bios to see if it can read usb under bios
[21:58] <fantastic001> my friend wants to install mint in virtual box, but when she puts .iso in vbox, she gets an "loading..." message, does anyone knows what is the problem ? Linux Mint LXDE 11 32bit, host os is windows xp
[21:58] <ActionParsnip> !nomodeset | DonJuan692006 try this
[21:58] <tellone> Can I make a bash script trigger everytime i connect an external hdd?
[21:59] <LABcrab> i also can't Alt-Tab to Chromium!  Why
[21:59] <dr_willis> DonJuan692006:  without the nomodset options the opensourced drivers can get confused.. try nomodset option from the option menus of the live cd.
[21:59] <DonJuan692006> I just used a different USB drive to load up the Windows installer fine.
[21:59] <DonJuan692006> I'll give it a shot
[21:59] <ActionParsnip> tellone: sure, just make a udev rule
[22:00] <[deXter]> fantastic001, That's offtopic here, join #linuxmint
[22:01] <DonJuan692006> Sorry for not identifying who I'm talking to. I'm on a kindle and typing is a pain.
[22:01] <guntbert> !tab | DonJuan692006
[22:01] <fantastic001> [deXter]: ok, thanks :)
[22:01] <LABcrab> DonJuan692006: Kindle!?  How can you do that on a kindle?
[22:01] <guntbert> !ot | LABcrab
[22:02] <LABcrab> guntbert: i asked twice about Chromium not working with Alt-Tab and the sidebar!
[22:02] <DonJuan692006> Labcrab: Rooted it and installed the regular Android market
[22:02] <guntbert> LABcrab: yes, but thats no reason to talk about non support questions here - please :)
[22:03] <vatoloco> hello, first time using irc
[22:04] <z3bra> Hello ! Can someone help me please ? I'm trying to get an expression between quotes in a line of a file (using sed)
[22:04] <ArcUser355> hi all mind if i ask a few questions?
[22:04] <guntbert> ArcUser355: if htey are ubuntu support questions - go ahead
[22:04] <guntbert> *they
[22:05] <guntbert> vatoloco:  Do you have an ubuntu support question?
[22:05] <ArcUser355> well they relate more to arcemu
[22:05] <bencc> can one upstart job control two processes?
[22:05] <ArcUser355> just general question though
[22:05] <monohedron> hi i'm looking for the name of a certain function. when i'm typing while the focus is on the desktop a little textbox opens. where is this input going or what is it good for?
[22:05] <bencc> or maybe have two upstart jobs in the same package?
[22:05] <LABcrab> This is frustrating that Chromium won't use the Unity Dock properly!
[22:06] <vatoloco> yes i do how can i make banshee or rythmbox go online and look for album art for my entire library?
[22:06] <guntbert> !ot | ArcUser355
[22:06] <dr_willis> monohedron:  i think thats a feature of the nautilus filemanager
[22:06] <AlanBell> LABcrab: I can't offer any help beyond "works for me", do other applications work fine?
[22:06] <guntbert> LABcrab: here it does
[22:06] <monohedron> dr_willis, i'm not talking about F2
[22:07] <LABcrab> guntbert: and AlanBell: others, yes.  Chromium, when i press on the Dock button, opens a new window instead of going to the opened window.  Also, Alt-Tab doesn't show Chromium.
[22:07] <AlanBell> LABcrab: how did you install chromium?
[22:07] <guntbert> LABcrab: how did you install chromium?
[22:07] <guntbert> :)
[22:07] <dr_willis> monohedron:  on any nautilus window i think if you enter text, it shows at bottom right and works as a file filter.selection
[22:07] <DonJuan692006> Labcrab: hit me up on Google Talk at Bob692006 if you want to talk about he Kindle.
[22:07] <ActionParsnip> LABcrab: works flawlessly here
[22:08] <ActionParsnip> LABcrab: do you use the daily build?
[22:08] <overclucker> z3bra: sounds like a job for frep or awk, not sed
[22:08] <DonJuan692006> Trying using nomodeset now.
[22:08] <monohedron> ok but i don't have a nautilus window open
[22:08] <LABcrab> AlanBell and guntbert: sudo apt-get or software centre, can't remember.  Probably apt-get.
[22:08] <overclucker> z3bra: erm, i mean grep, not frep
[22:08] <dr_willis> monohedron:  the desktop is also a nautilus window..
[22:08] <escott> z3bra, try -e 's/.*\"\(.*\)\".*/\1/'
[22:08] <ActionParsnip> LABcrab: daily has the progress bar for download in the unity bar (not sure if the repo one does that, I always add the ppa)
[22:08] <monohedron> oh ok any idea whether that is documented ?
[22:08] <dr_willis> monohedron:  seen it mentioned at some blog sites.. i rarely use the gui these days.
[22:09] <guntbert> LABcrab: in any case through the ubuntu software system
[22:09] <dr_willis> monohedron:  i bet its asked about on the askubuntu.com site
[22:09] <LABcrab> guntbert: That way is preferable?
[22:09] <monohedron> yes you are right
[22:09] <monohedron> dr_willis, thanks it highlights matching files
[22:09] <monohedron> in nautilus aas well as on the desktop
[22:10] <bitf> Hi, can't access browser history and bookmarks because of firefox zombie process. I can kill it by killing firefox, but it pops up again when I start up.
[22:10] <guntbert> LABcrab: both methods are essentially equal - do you have unity or unity 2D?
[22:10] <z3bra> overclucker: I'd like to use ONLY grep to manage this, but if I can't...
[22:10] <Celphish> Anyone here had any problems with Citrix receiver and ubuntu? I've keep getting ssl-error 29 :(
[22:10] <AlanBell> LABcrab: yeah, from the standard repositories is best, if you install from source or from google then it might not be as well integrated with unity
[22:10] <LABcrab> guntbert: 3D, computer has an HDMI port, uses built-in laptop screen, no problems with Video.
[22:10] <z3bra> escott: That works, but i get ALL the lines of the file
[22:11] <escott> z3bra, and what do you want?
[22:11] <z3bra> Exactly, put the version of my ubuntu (from the /etc/lsb-release file) into a variable
[22:11] <guntbert> LABcrab: then I really have no idea, sorry   .... hmm, try to remove the icon from the launcher and re-add it
[22:12] <Doodie> hi, I created launcer in top panel in gnome classics in ubuntu 11.10, but now i cannot remove them . Alt + Right click doesnot work. what to do?
[22:12] <LABcrab> guntbert: Once it leaves the Dock, it never comes back.
[22:13] <guntbert> LABcrab: you can drag it from the lens
[22:13] <escott> z3bra, then you want -e '/\".*\"/s/the rest is the same'
[22:13] <klikni> what would be the good way to partiotion 120GB HD for ubuntu installation?
[22:13] <ActionParsnip> klikni: is it for dual boot or is all 120Gb for Ubuntu?>
[22:13] <klikni> single ubuntu use
[22:13] <z3bra> escott: without '(' & ')' so ?
[22:14] <z3bra> Oh no, ok ;)
[22:14] <bitf> Hi, can't access browser history and bookmarks because of firefox zombie process. I can kill it by killing firefox, but it pops up again when I start up.
[22:14] <bastidrazor> klikni: 10GB / the rest /home
[22:14] <bastidrazor> klikni: and 2GB /swap..
[22:14] <ActionParsnip> klikni: 10Gb ext4 for /, 1.2xRAM for swap (I assum more than 2Gb system RAM), the rest in ext4 for /home     assuming all 120Gb is for ubuntuy
[22:14] <escott> z3bra, sorry -n -e '/match expresssion/{substitute expression; p}'
[22:14] <LABcrab> guntbert: ?
[22:15] <z3bra> Okay =) So, sed works exactly like Vim ?
[22:15] <escott> z3bra, where match expression is /\".*\"/ and substitute expression is the s/.*\"\(.*\)\".*/\1/
[22:15] <ActionParsnip> klikni: if you have less than 2Gb system RAM, then double the amount of ram you have and use that as swap
[22:15] <overclucker> z3bra: other way around
[22:15] <Celphish> will a p3 1ghz and 512mb ram be able to run ubuntu 11.10 smoothly?
[22:15] <krack> probably not
[22:15] <ActionParsnip> Celphish: I'd use Lubuntu or Xubuntu but it should be fine
[22:16] <dr_willis> Celphish:  id reccomend Lubuntu
[22:16] <krack> same
[22:16] <Celphish> so no unity?
[22:16] <guntbert> LABcrab: if you open the lens, you select internet, then you should be able to drag the chromium icon to the launcher
[22:16] <Celphish> cause I can't stand the old menus, I want to be able to search in the menu, like in mint, or windows 7
[22:16] <z3bra> escott: same result... I get all 4 lines
[22:17] <overclucker> z3bra: grep -oE '\".*\"' | sed -e 's/\"//g'
[22:17] <escott> z3bra, sed -n -e '/\".*\"/{s/.*\"\(.*\)\".*/\1/;p}' /etc/lsb-release
[22:17] <krack> Celphish: you can install linuxmint menu, on ubuntu
[22:17] <ActionParsnip> Celphish: you can use unity2d and it will be a lot smoother
[22:17] <escott> z3bra, you were probably forgetting the -n
[22:17] <dr_willis> Unity hasd search features. theres old-classic menu type indicator-applets listed at the askubuntu.com indicator applet listing
[22:17] <ActionParsnip> Celphish: what gpu is the system using?
[22:17] <klikni> ActionParsnip: I have 2gb ram. So no need to make partitions for installation and home or whatever? Just straight swap (~4gb) and ext4 rest?
[22:17] <LABcrab> guntbert: Nice attempt.  What happens is that the icon just disappears when i drop it on the Dock.  Launching it also doesn't make it appear on the Dock.
[22:18] <ActionParsnip> klikni: seperate /home isn't dependant on ram amount
[22:18] <Celphish> ActionParsnip: well, it's a dell c400 laptop, so.. integrated crap? :D
[22:18] <z3bra> escott: Your cmd runs infinitly :/
[22:18] <ActionParsnip> klikni: it just makes life a little simpler, have a 2.2Gb swap space and you'll be ok
[22:18] <z3bra> overclucker: as yours overclucker
[22:18] <guntbert> LABcrab: then I have really no idea - sorry
[22:18] <overclucker> z3bra: did you run that without a pipe or input file?
[22:19] <Celphish> I would love to run it on this laptop, my work-laptop, but I can't get the citrix-receiver to work, which is required for my work
[22:19] <krack> Can any1 help with a problem i got on me ubuntu 11.10?
[22:19] <ActionParsnip> Celphish: you could install ubuntu minimal then install unity2D, it will make the desktop more responsive and leave more ram for your apps
[22:19] <escott> z3bra, thats a direct copy out of my command line and prints only the Ubuntu 11.10 part of my lsb-release file
[22:19] <z3bra> no escott, i just copy pasted your cmd :/
[22:19] <overclucker> z3bra: cat /etc/lsb-release | grep -oE '\".*\"' | sed -e 's/\"//g'
[22:19] <ardian> Help, i need some help I have an Ubuntu box 10.04 it's a pc and I connected my Wireless usb
[22:19] <z3bra> overclucker: I forgotted the file... Shame on me :/
[22:20] <ardian> how do I search for networks it's not like in mylaptop
[22:20] <ardian> i don't know if its working with Ubuntu
[22:20] <dr_willis> ardian:  nautilus file manager, places menu item.
[22:20] <krack> i think he means internet usb stick
[22:20] <LABcrab> guntbert: No worries.  It's just that those Ubuntu glitches really bug me.
[22:20] <ardian> dr_willis, it's only the wired icon not wireless
[22:20] <ActionParsnip> ardian: sudo iwlist scan
[22:20] <z3bra> overclucker: Your command works better with an input file :P
[22:20] <z3bra> Thanks for the help !!
[22:21] <dr_willis> ardian:  if you see a wired machine, but not the wireless machine. its possible theres some network firewalling going on, or service not running
[22:21] <krack> On my ubuntu 11.10 box, i cant use the log file viewer, it crashes after ~30 sec.
[22:21] <dr_willis> ardian:  or else we are not understanding what you are asking.
[22:21] <z3bra> I'll use this one, and start to understand exactly how 'sed' works
[22:21] <ActionParsnip> krack: is it the same as a differentg user?
[22:21] <krack> it continues to use up more ram
[22:21] <ActionParsnip> krack: what if you run it with gksudo?
[22:22] <krack> until it kills itself
[22:22] <krack> when it runs out of memory
[22:22] <z3bra> Thanks overclucker and escott =)
[22:22] <krack> i'll try
[22:24] <krack> so i ran i with gksudo but it doesnt show anything
[22:24] <krack> not even a sidepanel
[22:24] <ardian> dr_willis, how do I enable iwconfig the wireless ? from CLI
[22:25] <dr_willis> ardian:  i just use network manager icon and click click.. if the card is not seen by iwlist, or iwconfig, youmay need to load some drivers for it.
[22:25] <krack> just a window pops up and i can click on some munu stuff
[22:25] <danger89> Hi
[22:25] <ActionParsnip> krack: does it run ok if you make a new user and run it as that?
[22:25] <Kentrel> Can someone help me figure out why I can't get my USB microphone to work. It's a Samson COU1 and it's recognised automatically, but I can't record anything. Checked all the levels
[22:25] <klikni> Partitioning loooks like this now: /dev/sdc1 ext4 109.79GiB and /dev/sdc2 exended 2.00 GiB with /dev/sdc5 linux-swap 2.00GiB. Is it OK?
[22:25] <krack> how do i do that without logging off?
[22:26] <ardian> dr_willis, I mean how do I start the service, on my laptop the network manager icon is just fine works well but this pc had only wired so i bought tp-link usb wireless
[22:26] <ardian> lsusb sees it
[22:26] <dr_willis> ardian:  run the addational-drivers tool perhaps and see if anything extra is needed
[22:26] <ardian> dr_willis, tried that but no
[22:27] <iSuckAtLinux> hello
[22:27] <ActionParsnip> krack: sudo adduser testuser; sudo passwd testuser; su testuser
[22:27] <dr_willis> its funnier when you use 'billgates' instead of 'testuser' :)
[22:27] <ActionParsnip> hehe
[22:27] <bastidrazor> ActionParsnip: adduser is going to ask for a password for the new user.. fyi
[22:28] <ActionParsnip> bastidrazor: ahh i see, didn't know :), covering the bases an all
[22:28] <iSuckAtLinux> i have a quick question about switchable graphics
[22:28] <ActionParsnip> iSuckAtLinux: ask away, optimus is a pain in linux
[22:28] <leeg> hey is anyone online
[22:28] <ActionParsnip> leeg: nobody at all
[22:29] <leeg> haha

[22:29] <guntbert> !ask | leeg
[22:29] <ActionParsnip> leeg: ask away
[22:29] <leeg> thanks
[22:29] <leeg> ok
[22:30] <iSuckAtLinux> it works like a dream but it get really hot and i think its because its using the dedicated amd card instead of the integrated intel card
[22:30] <krack> LOL it says "No protocol specified" 2 lines down: "(gksudo:22102): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0"
[22:30] <iSuckAtLinux> i just want to install the propriatary flgrx driver. catalyst 11.11
[22:30] <ActionParsnip> !ati
[22:30] <guntbert> krack: of course, the new user cannot use sudo/gksudo yet
[22:30] <leeg> my parents have recently been downloading tons and tons of shows off of utorrent (it's 100% legel what they're downloading) and they are downloadng like 4gb a day (cont.)

[22:31] <Owner__> does anyone know how I could get google chrome to play mp4s>
[22:31] <Owner__> ?
[22:31] <siebo> I have a new Ubuntu 10.04 machine where I've installed postfix
[22:31] <krack> what do i do now?
[22:31] <siebo> but it won't start because apparently sendmail is installed
[22:31] <leeg> (cont.) ever since they started, the router is acting up, and occasionally doesnt work, and we have to keep restarting it
[22:31] <leeg> would the torrents have anything to do with it
[22:31] <siebo> for example, I see entries like this in my mail server logs
[22:31] <ActionParsnip> krack: run the log viewer command in terminal, see if it's ok
[22:31] <siebo> sm-mta[17266]: q07MC5SG017266: SYSERR(root): collect:...
[22:31] <kasii> xtreamer are u there
[22:32] <siebo> but when I go to uninstall sendmail, it tells me it's not installed
[22:32] <iSuckAtLinux> lol @ dr_willis
[22:32] <siebo> e.g. apt-get remove sendmail
[22:32] <kasii> xtreamer are u there
[22:32] <guntbert> leeg: i guess that question is better asked/answered in  ##networking
[22:32] <siebo> "Package sendmail is not installed, so not removed"
[22:32] <siebo> any ideas how this is possible?
[22:32] <ActionParsnip> Owner__: if you install the vlc mozilla plugin, it should be used afaik
[22:32] <krack> using the testuser? or try again with my user?
[22:32] <ActionParsnip> krack: as the test user
[22:32] <bastidrazor> ActionParsnip: thats always a smart idea.
[22:32] <Owner__> ActionParsnip, into firefox?
[22:33] <ActionParsnip> krack: if you run:   whoami   you will see you are the testuser as you su'd to it
[22:33] <leeg> can someone answer my question plzzz?
[22:33] <ActionParsnip> Owner__: Chrome uses the same addons from what I remember
[22:33] <bazhang> leeg, thats more of a networking/hardware question
[22:33] <ActionParsnip> bastidrazor: sadly i don't give the smart ideas ;)
[22:33] <ActionParsnip> Owner__: can your media players play mp4?
[22:34] <leeg> alright ill ask someone else... thanks though :D
[22:34] <bazhang> leeg, try ##networking as guntbert suggested
[22:34] <leeg> ok
[22:34] <krack> same msg
[22:34] <leeg> i will
[22:34] <leeg> bye
[22:34] <ActionParsnip> Owner__: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/11/get-chromium-on-ubuntu-to-play-mp4-h-264-mp3-view-pdf-files-natively/
[22:34] <bastidrazor> ActionParsnip: so far you have.
[22:34] <Ubuntu_Turkey> hello
[22:35] <leeg> lol im in there now
[22:35] <leeg> its scary
[22:35] <ActionParsnip> Owner__: instal chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra
[22:35] <ActionParsnip> Owner__: if you add the daily build ppa and use chromium, it will do it
[22:36] <Success> i reinstalled unity-lens-applications still no luck
[22:36] <Owner__> ActionParsnip, I know chromium will do it w/ the non-free...but I need it to play them on windows in chrome
[22:36] <ActionParsnip> Owner__: windows isn't supported here
[22:36] <ActionParsnip> Owner__: ask in ##windows

[22:37] <Success> unity isn't showing my applications; i have no way to access them now
[22:38] <ActionParsnip> Success: if you press windos key, does dash show? you can access them there..
[22:38] <dr_willis> Success:  you can reset unity via 'unity --reset' or 'unity --reset-icons'
[22:38] <Success> yes dash shows
[22:39] <ActionParsnip> Success: try dr_willis command :)
[22:39] <cpoconno> Looking for approp channel for an openzwave compilation question
[22:39] <Success> i tried unity --reset; nothing fixed what does --reset-icons do
[22:39] <dr_willis> resets the default panel icons
[22:40] <Success> oh icons are working.. the ones that are there. but no apps ( icons ) are there. even if i type something in only corresponding files show
[22:40] <dr_willis> http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/how-to-reset-unity-launcher-icons-or.html
[22:40] <ActionParsnip> Success: check your settings for unity in ccsm
[22:40] <ActionParsnip> Success: you may need to reset the compiz settings to make it ok
[22:41] <Success> how do I do that?
[22:41]  * dr_willis points to the url he pasted...
[22:41] <Success> ok ty
[22:41] <dr_willis> worth bookmarking. :)
[22:41] <ActionParsnip> Success: http://askubuntu.com/questions/70866/how-to-reset-compiz-unity-to-defaults
[22:41] <dr_willis> I made a 'reset everything' alias/script. :P
[22:42] <krack> ActionParsnip: ok so i switched user to testuser, and ran gnome-system-log and its the same as if I typed gksudo ...log, it doesnt show anything
[22:42] <HermanDE> Anybody have a success story for using GLPI?
[22:42] <Celphish> Isn't ubuntu software center supposed to download dependencies?
[22:42] <mappum> My machine goes black right after the "Ubuntu" boot screen (and i suspect display drivers). To fix it, i hooked up an ethernet cable from it to my laptop so I can ssh in, but how can I find its IP?
[22:42] <krack> ActionParsnip: its just an window, i cant view any side panes or anything
[22:42] <dr_willis> Celphish:  yes. its just a front end to the apt system
[22:42] <ActionParsnip> krack: sounds like a bug then, the new user will have default settings so it's more than likely the app at fault
[22:43] <HermanDE> mappum, nmap is your friend.
[22:43] <krack> :(
[22:43] <krack> should i reinstall?
[22:43] <dr_willis> !nomodeset | mappum
[22:43] <mappum> HermanDE: I scanned the range my laptop said it was in and it didn't find it.
[22:43] <ActionParsnip> krack: reinstall what?
[22:43] <Celphish> I'm trying to install citrix-crap via it, and I press the "install" button and it says: Dependency is not satisfiable: ia32-libs?
[22:43] <mappum> dr_willis: thanks, I'll try that
[22:43] <krack> "gnome-system-log"
[22:43] <ActionParsnip> krack: worth a try
[22:43] <Celphish> dr_willis: problem is that dpkg -i the filename just gives me like 10 "not installed blablabla"
[22:43] <HermanDE> mappum, Do you have ping turned off?
[22:44] <dr_willis> Celphish:  tyr the command line tools, to see better error messages
[22:44] <dr_willis> Celphish:  try sudo gdebi foo.deb
[22:44] <ActionParsnip> krack: you could just read the log files in /var/log yourself...
[22:44] <Celphish> foo.deb?
[22:44] <dr_willis> dpkg -i   -> is the 'core' differance..
[22:44] <dr_willis> insert your package name of course.....
[22:44] <mappum> HermanDE: I did "nmap -sn x.x.x.1-255
[22:45] <krack> i have 2 problems i think this log thing is connceted
[22:45] <Celphish> dr_willis: Command not found
[22:45] <dr_willis> Celphish:  install it...
[22:45] <Celphish> hold on
[22:45] <Success> still no apps
[22:45] <HermanDE> mappum, Try with ping turned off in nmap...  Just seek your ssh port.
[22:46] <dr_willis> !info gdebi
[22:46] <HermanDE> mappum, nmap -P0 -p 22 x.x.x.0/24
[22:49] <Celphish> dr_willis: I might be challanged when it comes to Linux, but it can't find the package
[22:49] <dr_willis> sudo apt-get install gdebi
[22:50] <Celphish> dr_willis: doesn't work

[22:51] <ubuntu_> cpoconno what program you compilling6
[22:51] <cpoconno> I see some items from the compile in /usr/local/lib

[22:51] <Success> ok let me try action parsnip
[22:51] <cpoconno> openzwave-control
[22:51] <Celphish> urlin2u: yes, but I can install stuff anyway, just not that one
[22:51] <escott> cpoconno, it would only be installed to /usr/local if you had used a --prefix option to configure
[22:52] <ubuntu_> /usr/local/sbin or bin
[22:52] <urlin2u> Celphish, anything installed on a live cd is not going to stay unless it is a usb with persisitince,.
[22:52] <cpoconno> hmmm my initial guess was I'd find a binary after the make and that then the make install would put it elsewhere yes?
[22:52] <urlin2u> persistince*
[22:53] <Celphish> urlin2u: I know, I just want to know if I can get the citrix-solution to work at all before I even try to install ubuntu on my work laptop
[22:53] <mappum> dr_willis: nomodeset is keeping the screen from going black, but it is frozen on the boot screen and the animation isn't moving
[22:53] <Success> no but it did effect it, now when i press ex. internet apps. instead of taking me to a blank page it doesnt change
[22:53] <ubuntu_> hey guys im trying to browse my synology nas with the xubuntu default file manager but its trying to open folders with an application .... should i just install nautilus or use something else?
[22:53] <robde> hello, I just created a new user.. in which groups should it be in? right now its only in the 'users' group

[22:54] <urlin2u> Celphish, ah I see I was wondering if your helper knew you were on a live cd I just logged on and had not seen the whole conversation.
[22:54] <Success> i think it has to do with that error i was showing you

[22:57] <Success> i dont see /com/ on my root, is that a problem?
[22:58] <escott> krack, it just means that a cron job is running, and that a session was started for cron. you can check your crontab to see exactly what the cron job is
[22:58] <Celphish> how am I supposed to install a package that doesn't exist? damnit :(
[22:58] <krack> should i run cron tab with my user or sudo su?

[23:00] <ActionParsnip> krack: depends what access the cron'd job needs
[23:01] <trism> Celphish: enable multiverse
[23:01] <ActionParsnip> krack: if it needs root access, then run:   sudo crontab -e
[23:01] <Success> Celphish: you need a repository afaik
[23:01] <Success> Celphish: listen to trism
[23:01] <ActionParsnip> krack: if it needs running as a different user then su to that user and run:  crontab -e
[23:02] <Celphish> trism: I did it in the software center, and then ran a sudo apt-get update, so, how do I do it from the terminal?
[23:02] <ActionParsnip> krack: there is also gnome-schedule which is a gui to cron (run with gksudo to cron as root)
[23:03] <trism> Celphish: edit /etc/apt/sources.list, with the default file you should just need to remove the comments from the 4 multiverse lines
[23:04] <Celphish> trism: non of them are commented out
[23:04] <koalachair> Hi there. I have a software RAID5 set up. Seemingly all of a sudden, my computer stopped booting and the raid wouldn't mount. I managed to start up from a USB stick and have palimpset (disk utility) running. The raid shows the correct components, supposedly all healthy. I can't seem to actually successfully start the array, though.
[23:04] <Success> where is /canonical/unity/lens located at?

[23:08] <Celphish> sorry for pasting here
[23:08] <trism> Celphish: that is fine though, append multiverse to the oneiric and oneiric-updates lines and run sudo apt-get update
[23:08] <playto1> so
[23:09] <Celphish> trism: I'm not sure I understand exactly what you mean when you say "append multiverse to the oneiric..?" I get that I should add "multiverse" somewhere?

[23:09] <LinuX2half> I'm trying to install ppstream but gives me an error: unmet dependencies and unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

[23:09] <trism> Celphish: seem how it says "main restricted universe" at the end of those lines? add multiverse at the end of each line like that

[23:09] <Success> LinuX2half: (im kinda new) but er did you do apt-get update, or is it when you try to do the repo or what
[23:10] <Celphish> trism: instead of that line? or just right after?
[23:10] <phil_> how do  I change the clock from 24 to 12 hour in lubuntu 11.10
[23:10] <zipace> !de | uki
[23:10] <ActionParsnip> xyz123abc456: does it show in the output of:  dmesg | grep -i blue
[23:10] <trism> Celphish: leave the line unchanged except for adding multiverse at the end
[23:10] <uki> haha ok thx
[23:11] <trism> Celphish: deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric-updates main restricted universe multiverse
[23:11] <zipace> uki, kein ding :)
[23:11] <trism> Celphish: for example
[23:11] <LinuX2half> Success: Yeah, I did. Refreshed the repository. I'm still new to this OS as well.
[23:11] <xyz123abc456> ActionParsnip, Yes, there are several results for that command.
[23:11] <koalachair> Is this the best room to ask my linux raid question (see above) - or is there a better place I should go? Thanks!
[23:12] <thiago> hello
[23:12] <pnorman> koalachair: Are you booting from the RAID?
[23:12] <Celphish> trism: you rock! :D
[23:12] <koalachair> pnorman: no. Right now from the USB stick, and normally from a separate drive.
[23:12] <pnorman> koalachair: Oh wait, stupid question, RAID5, can't boot from software RAID5
[23:12] <xyz123abc456> ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/iyK0LSmS
[23:12] <uki> ich meinte nur das ich jetzt für ubuntu einpaar programme haben will wo bekomme ich einfach welche .
[23:13] <Celphish> trism: <3
[23:13] <trism> Celphish: all fixed?
[23:14] <koalachair> pnorman: That's partially why I was a little more weirded out than normal - I didn't think something wrong with my raid should prevent starting in to Ubuntu on another drive.
[23:14] <ActionParsnip> xyz123abc456: good start, ok if you run:  sudo hcitool dev      do you see the adapter?
[23:14] <pnorman> koalachair: is your boot partition on the same drives as the raid5?
[23:14] <koalachair> Nope. I have 5 HDDs - 4 for the raid, one for the OS
[23:14] <xyz123abc456> ActionParsnip, No, it just says devices: but lists none.
[23:15] <pnorman> What mount points are on the raid? (e.g. /usr, swap, etc)
[23:15] <ActionParsnip> xyz123abc456: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[23:15] <pnorman> koalachair: Also, what error messages do you get when you boot from the USB and try to assemble the raid?
[23:16] <koalachair> pnorman: Usually the whole thing on /var/md and that's it.
[23:16] <xyz123abc456> ActionParsnip, oneiric
[23:16] <ActionParsnip> xyz123abc456: is it a laptop?
[23:16] <xyz123abc456> Yes
[23:16] <koalachair> pnorman: And in the UI: trying to "Check Array" in disk utility: "Error checking array: helper exited with exit code 1: device /dev/md0 is not idle"
[23:16] <ActionParsnip> xyz123abc456: what make and model?
[23:16] <ActionParsnip> xyz123abc456: do you have the latest bios?
[23:17] <pnorman> koalachair: ah. i run -server, so no UI, so I'm not sure what command it tried to issue there
[23:17] <xyz123abc456> ActionParsnip, Dell XPS 1340, and the BIOS is relatively new, it's been about 9 months since I updated it since it requires windows to be installed
[23:17] <Celphish> trism: well the ica-client is install, now it's back to those damn ssl errors
[23:18] <koalachair> pnorman: Aha. The mdadm command I was trying was: mdadm --assemble --run /dev/md2 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdd1 /dev/sde1
[23:19] <ActionParsnip> xyz123abc456: most dell bioses can be updated in ubuntu :)
[23:19] <xyz123abc456> ActionParsnip, Really, with wine?
[23:19] <Celphish> Aaaand I'äm back to square 1, or 3, got citrix working, but not on one of our portals, keep getting socks 5 ssl error 29.. whuich I can't seem to fix
[23:20] <pnorman> koalachair: I'm trying to recall the commands I used when I needed to access my RAID10 from a usb stick
[23:20] <ActionParsnip> xyz123abc456: try: sudo modprobe -r btusb; sleep 2; sudo modprobe btusb; sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart
[23:21] <ActionParsnip> xyz123abc456: no, there are native apps
[23:21] <ActionParsnip> xyz123abc456: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bluez/+bug/554431
[23:21] <koalachair> pnorman: Actually, replace that /dev/md2 with /dev/md0 or /dev/md127, and I get "mdadm: failed to RUN_ARRAY /dev/md__: Input/output error | mdadm: Not enough devices to start the array
[23:21] <Success> ill be back pm me if you have any solutions
[23:22] <pnorman> are you sure sda1, sdb1, sdd1 and sde1 are the correct ones? I've known drive letters to change around when booting off a USB stick
[23:22] <pietro74> hello
[23:22] <pietro74> !list
[23:22] <ActionParsnip> xyz123abc456: seems it needs unloading and reloading, then the service restarting after boot to work..
[23:23] <koalachair> pnorman: Yep, just checked that.
[23:24] <Celphish> Oh well, it seems like there is no way I can get ubuntu to work with my work, atm, I'll have to stick to win 7, and experiment with ubuntu and citrix until I get it to work.. thanks for the help trism I'll try to remember it for the next time :)
[23:24] <Celphish> time to turn of the computer and go back to win 7, have a nice evening
[23:24] <LinuX2half> Why does Ubuntu imply that I have broken packages despite that I've run apt-get install -f
[23:24] <Pyrox> Hi, we are creating pendrives for ill people, with the program f123.org (for blind and other kind of ill people) on Ubuntu, we do it based on the process descripted at f123.org website (we have their original dvd even) but despite we managed to get the first pendrives working now we cant , they dont boot and we cant find our mistake, someone wishing to help?
[23:24] <Celphish> exit
[23:24] <xyz123abc456> ActionParsnip, Thanks for the link, I'm trying everything on it.
[23:24] <LinuX2half> and clean/remove unneeded dependencies?
[23:25] <mx8> apt-get autoremove
[23:26] <venice__> hello i'm having trouble with the boot time of my fresh 11.10 install. during the boot process before i see the boot splash the computer seems to stall for about 45 seconds.
[23:26] <venice__> http://imageshack.us/f/818/unicornoneiric201201081.png/ (bootchart)
[23:26] <venice__> :/
[23:26] <LinuX2half> Also, why can't I install the a program despite that I've all the dependencies?
[23:27] <LinuX2half> It states that it cannot install libqtwebkit4:i386 but recommends myplayer.
[23:27] <LinuX2half> I have myplayer installed and it's repeating itself
[23:27] <Waraudon> Ubuntu Server 11.04, hard drive usage increasing pretty rapidly but I can't pinpoint what's causing it. Any way to find out?
[23:27] <jasonmchristos> Anyone familiar with libpam-rsa?
[23:28] <LinuX2half> Maybe I'm running a 64bit OS?
[23:28] <mx8> Pyrox: pendrive format ? etc - FAT32,EXT4 ...
[23:28] <LinuX2half> That's causing this error?
[23:28] <Pyrox> mx8, , yes, we did it
[23:28] <jasonmchristos> I installed it generated keys looked at the config and it appeared to require the key but doesnt seem to be authenticating any differently.
[23:28] <pnorman> koalachair: I can't find the exact commands that I used, but I think what you did *should* work
[23:28] <Pyrox> we formated the pendrives ith fat32
[23:28] <jasonmchristos> Serious helpers please pm me.
[23:28] <koalachair> pnorman: Not sure if that's good or bad news :)
[23:29] <Pyrox> then, F12.org dvd on windows, or image from theirsite, installs on the pendrive Ubuntu with f123
[23:29] <jasonmchristos> Pyrox: try ext2 with guid part table
[23:29] <lken> can anyone help with goflex smbmount issue?
[23:29] <pnorman> koalachair: can you access your mdadm.conf from the OS drive?
[23:29] <mx8> ext2 doesnt work on W7 just only fat32
[23:29] <jasonmchristos> fat32 only handles less than 4g
[23:29] <Pyrox> jason404, we cant chose, thatś f123 installationś way
[23:29] <mx8> fat32 work good on 16G to my :)
[23:29] <Pyrox> sadly
[23:30] <koalachair> pnorman: interesting. Didn't even think about that. let me try to mount that drive and find it.
[23:30] <jasonmchristos> mx8: a tale of two cities
[23:30] <Pyrox> i have right now a pendrive booting
[23:30] <zykotick9> mx8: 4G is the max file size, not partition size
[23:30] <Pyrox> but as live usb and i need it persisten,so i can clone it
[23:30] <frankcox789> howdy
[23:30] <pnorman> koalachair: It's /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf on my install
[23:30] <jasonmchristos> I installed libpam-rsa generated keys looked at the config and it appeared to require the key but doesnt seem to be authenticating any differently.
[23:30] <Pyrox> do you know a way to turn a live usb to persistent?
[23:31] <mx8> zykotick9: ok
[23:31] <jasonmchristos> Security cameras at wifihotspots keep watching me type my password.
[23:31] <koalachair> pnorman: Yep. Found it. under /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf, no?

[23:32] <mx8> how can i help you ?
[23:32] <koalachair> pnorman: Looks like it was set on auto, totally default as far as I can tell (never edited this manually): CREATE owner=root group=disk mode=0600 auto=yes

[23:35] <NEOhidra> ActionParsnip: thank you!
[23:35] <ActionParsnip> maaha: how will wine help you boot a recovery partition if the linux OS isn't even to be loaded
[23:35] <bazhang> jasonmchristos, thats not the way its done here; state your issue and if someone knows they will respond
[23:36] <mx8> maaha: try in bios change boot from HDD --> boot from CD
[23:36] <maaha> ActionParsnip i am using the Linux o/s on entire C drive I wiped off Windows

[23:36] <urlin2u> jasonmchristos, people just don't PM ......we like to keep iton the channel
[23:36] <ActionParsnip> maaha: windows drive letters don't mean anything in linux
[23:37] <maaha> however all computer have internal hidden drive with Recovery Windows Files
[23:37] <ActionParsnip> maaha: so you removed all data from the internal drive, is that right?
[23:37] <pnorman> koalachair: Which were you trying to create it to? /dev/md0?
[23:37] <maaha> yes correct
[23:37] <zykotick9> maaha: not all computer no
[23:37] <ActionParsnip> maaha: my system has zero hidden partitions or drives

[23:37] <jasonmchristos> Well someone help please.
[23:37] <koalachair> pnorman: Right now, don't really care :)
[23:37] <venice__> http://pastebin.com/pcbWamgA dmesg log corresponding to the bootchart
[23:37] <ActionParsnip> maaha: if you run:  sudo parted -l    do you see the recovery partition?
[23:37] <bazhang> jasonmchristos, restate your issue
[23:37] <zykotick9> !ask | jasonmchristos
[23:38] <pnorman> i doubt this is the issue, but what does file -s /dev/md0 report?
[23:38] <mx8> jasonmchristos: how ?
[23:38] <ActionParsnip> xyz123abc456: all I can suggest is add to the bug yourself
[23:38] <venice__> the notebook is a 2.5 year old dell vostro 1310 so nothing fancy basically :/
[23:38] <koalachair> pnorman: empty
[23:38] <jasonmchristos> libpam-rsa installed it generated keys changed the config config file lines seem to be requiring rsa auth but system doesnt ask for it
[23:38] <ActionParsnip> xyz123abc456: if you can't get it running, you can get teeny tyiny usb bluetooth adaptors for less than a quid
[23:39] <jasonmchristos> http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/libpam-rsa
[23:39] <pnorman> koalachair: I get "/dev/md5: ERROR: cannot open `/dev/md5' (No such file or directory)" on a non-existant partition
[23:39] <frankcox789>  what is a good usb wireless card for UBU-anyone tried the Belkin n300?

[23:40] <koalachair> pnorman: Yeah, I'm don't know about all fo this to know what these /dev/md0 and /dev/md127 things are
[23:40] <bazhang> jasonmchristos, you have yet to ask an actual question
[23:40] <jasonmchristos> bazhang: question is how do i actually enable the rsa key requirment on my systems authentication ?
[23:40] <urlin2u> !wireless | frankcox789
[23:40] <xyz123abc456> ActionParsnip, lol, I was leaning toward those little things
[23:40] <ActionParsnip> maaha: usually they are on FAT32 partitions, if one isn't present then you have removed the recovery partition
[23:40] <mx8> jasonmchristos: soory but i can not help you in this :(
[23:40] <danial> can anyone help me with reinstalling my wireless drivers?
[23:40] <maaha> http://paste.ubuntu.com/796515/
[23:40] <ActionParsnip> xyz123abc456: makes life easier
[23:40] <bazhang> danial, what chipset
[23:41] <danial> broadcom for compaq 515
[23:41] <jasonmchristos> bazhang: heres the part im looking at http://www.helsinki.fi/~vmkari/pamrsa/pam_rsa.html
[23:41] <bazhang> danial, read the broadcom wifi wiki yet?
[23:41] <danial> no I diddnt know about it.
[23:41] <bazhang> !broadcom | danial seen this yet?
[23:42] <pnorman> koalachair: I'm stumped. What does mdadm --assemble --scan do?
[23:42] <maaha> http://paste.ubuntu.com/796520/
[23:42] <pnorman> er, might need to give it --config and tell it the path to your mdadm config
[23:43] <koalachair> pnorman: mdadm: /dev/md/md assembled from 2 drives - not enough to start the array
[23:43] <frankcox789> thnks ubotto - I don't know how to download packaged without installing so I can but network-admin on machine w/o connection
[23:44] <koalachair> pnorman: I don't actually see a /dev/md/md
[23:44] <koalachair> pnorman: or /dev/md
[23:44] <pnorman> koalachair: ya, those don't seem to correspond to the mount points
[23:44] <venice__> did anyone have a look at the bootchart and the log?
[23:44] <pnorman> koalachair: How did you get into this problem in the first place?
[23:44] <maaha> http://paste.ubuntu.com/796521/
[23:45] <xyz123abc456> ActionParsnip, Oops, I had it disabled in BiOS. It's detected now. Now, let's see if I can make free bluetooth phone calls with google.
[23:45] <ActionParsnip> xyz123abc456: d'oh
[23:45] <xyz123abc456> ActionParsnip, I had forgotten about it, I disabled it in BiOS a long time ago when the card wasn't installed
[23:46] <jasonmchristos> I think I got it, going to try for a restart bazhang
[23:46] <LinuX2half> Does anyone know why Ubuntu insists that I have broken packages and yet when I checked, there's none?
[23:48] <danial> my computer isn't even registering my broadcom device anymore.
[23:48] <pnorman> koalachair: can you pastebin mdadm --examine /dev/sd[abde]1 (or whatever the drive letters are for you
[23:50] <Omer_> .
[23:51] <venice__> well good night i'll give it another try tomorrow ;) or well later today :/ ^^
[23:51] <kilonux> aide pour proxy , freebox og firefox?

[23:52] <Sidewinder1> Pandawan, Yea, I know ciao a tutti.
[23:52] <koalachair> pnorman: http://pastebin.com/UEvNkvqi
[23:52] <sl00> Hi. How can I tell the installer not to use GPT (GUID Partition Table) on the drives?
[23:53] <Pandawan> > Sidewinder : What ?
[23:53] <Sidewinder1> Pandawan, Never mind,.. :D
[23:54] <Pandawan> Ok sorry but didnt get it....
[23:55] <jasonmchristos> bazhang: figure anything out?
[23:55] <jasonmchristos> bazhang: still cant seem to get it going
[23:55] <[deXter]> sl00, I don't think it does, unless you have an EFI
[23:56] <juanpablo_piz> alguien de hermosillo sonora
[23:57] <sl00> [deXter]: Really? I have been trying to install it but it does not boot up. Have the same problem with Ubuntu. Had the same problem with Fedora before I sent the nogpt boot-flag before installing.
[23:57] <pnorman> koalachair: odd. the Array State for sd[ab]1 is AAAA, the state for the others is .AA.
[23:57] <koalachair> pnorman: Do you know what that state represents?
[23:58] <pnorman> koalachair: which are active and which are missing
[23:58] <pnorman> I'm honestly stumped.
[23:59] <koalachair> pnorman: At least this is something - some distinction between two and another two. Might explain why the auto only decided to use 2
