[00:00] <Lesterwood> it is 7 right now and the dining hall closes at 9
[00:00] <Lesterwood> when should i go to dinner guys
[00:00] <TA5K> ActionParsnip: oh yes I did. Unfortunately, I got stuck here http://hybrid-graphics-linux.tuxfamily.org/index.php?title=ACPI_calls
[00:00] <WhiteOwl-m> 8
[00:01] <Frantic_> ActionParsnip_: Hey! i dont know what exactly i did but i ran and reinstalled Ubuntu 11.10 and it seems to be i can run it now with out needing  the flash card plugged in,
[00:01] <TA5K> ActionParsnip: I have another Notebook with G9300M same sadness.
[00:01] <ActionParsnip> Frantic_: did you update by any chance?
[00:01] <ActionParsnip> TA5K: Dell Latitude D420 runs 100% ootb :)
[00:02] <TA5K> It's the Nvidia which heats my room up .)
[00:02] <Frantic_> ActionParsnip_: ummm, it may be that i allowed an internet connection this time. i thought i did lst time aswell  but i could be wrong
[00:02] <TA5K> If it's cold outside I just boot Ubuntu *g
[00:05] <meomic> hey, im using ubuntu 10.10 x86-64 bit , afer a while i cannot use network manager anymore, it shows its sub menu but when i click on anything - it does not react - anything like connection info or edit connection or even cant switch wireless, is there a way to fix it w/o reboot?
[00:05] <dilange888> Just wondering, why does cfs use a red-black tree for its queue and not a heap?
[00:07] <josh123a123> how do you add a boot option
[00:07] <josh123a123> ?
[00:08] <aBound> Boot option what?
[00:09] <josh123a123> some one here told me to add some boot option to get the installer to work
[00:09] <ActionParsnip> !bootoptions
[00:09] <alien2050> meomic: did you try sudo apt-get remove --purge network-manager && sudo apt-get install network-manager
[00:10] <meomic> alien2050: no this not, but i did sudo /etc/init.d/network-manager stop and later start again - its same, also why to remove it - it works after reboot - just stops after some time passes
[00:11] <alien2050> meomic: just to ensure there is no lying config problem, that's why the --purge
[00:12] <alien2050> meomic: also it will reinstall look at command
[00:12] <leontopod> what is xubuntu good for?
[00:13] <pcybill> leontopod: Running my computer
[00:13] <acerimmer> leontopod: running lower spec/older computers
[00:13] <leontopod> ok
[00:13] <ActionParsnip> leontopod: it needs few resources than ubuntu
[00:14] <leontopod> I am trying to get unetbootin to work
[00:14] <leontopod> after it downloads the iso
[00:14] <leontopod> I get
[00:14] <leontopod> sevnz.exe is not a valid win32 application.
[00:14] <leontopod> =(
[00:14] <FloodBot1> leontopod: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:15] <aBound> leontopod, http://en.kioskea.net/faq/1591-exe-is-not-a-valid-win32-application
[00:16] <leontopod> thanks, I will have a look
[00:16] <alien2050> leontopod: unetbootin binary is not sevnz.exe..... it should be unetbootin-windows-563.exe
[00:16] <magicJ> I have a system that usually works - occasionally, like right now I have five jobs that should print and are not - lpstat shows them waiting - how can I kick lp to handle them and why is this happening
[00:16] <ActionParsnip> leontopod: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[00:16] <alien2050> leontopod: sounds like you DLed malware
[00:17] <alien2050> unetbootin.sourceforge.net should be the site
[00:19] <meomic> alien2050: ok i did as you said, but still same - it does not react
[00:20] <meomic> restarting intel wlan driver also didnt helped (sudo modprobe -r iwlagn and later same but w/o -r)
[00:20] <alien2050> meomic: hmmm.... that's weird... you may have to reboot or resort to more drastic measures like installing wicd; I've had my share of network-manager issues myself in the past. you can also remove it completely and manually configure your NIC through /etc/network/interfaces
[00:21] <ActionParsnip> leontopod: were you trying to extract the ISO by right clicking it?
[00:21] <ActionParsnip> leontopod: sounds like you are as sevnz.exe is part of 7zip for Windows...
[00:23] <wrektjet> whats the syntax again for finding a PID? eg the process quake. i thought it was ps aux |grep guake but im making an error there
[00:23] <Cristian> hello people!
[00:23] <alien2050> leontopod: I think what you need to do is open unetbootin first and then select the ISO.... I think you're double-clicking the file and doesn't have any association for ISO or a corrupt 7zip install in M$W.
[00:24] <rob__> ps faux |grep quake ?
[00:24] <ActionParsnip> wrektjet: ps -ef | grep quake
[00:24]  * ActionParsnip uses the Linux standard
[00:25] <wrektjet> thanks rob_ ActionParsnip
[00:27] <pdiddy200> wow
[00:27] <wingnut2626> Wow
[00:27] <ActionParsnip> wa-wa-wee-wa
[00:28] <pdiddy200> Is there any guides that anyone would reccommend to learning scripting in zshell?
[00:29] <RiXtEr-home> does imdb-get work for anyone or do I have it setup wrong?
[00:29] <ActionParsnip> pdiddy200: may help http://www.bash2zsh.com/
[00:29] <leontopod> ok
[00:29] <leontopod> unetbootin uses sevenzip?
[00:29] <ActionParsnip> leontopod: were you extracting the file yourself?
[00:29] <arphetic> yes
[00:29] <leontopod> no
[00:29] <Taboo_Tongue> Ey Chat =)
[00:29] <ActionParsnip> leontopod: good, you don't
[00:29] <leontopod> I was just following instructions
[00:29] <alien2050> leontopod: nope
[00:30] <leontopod> it pops up by itself
[00:30] <leontopod> I rebooted
[00:30] <leontopod> ran ccleaner, deleted and redownloaded unetbootin, and am running it again
[00:30] <alien2050> leontopod: forget about the popping up... just do it by yourself; open unetbootin, select image, select ISO
[00:30] <leontopod> oh wait
[00:30] <ActionParsnip> leontopod: try the 1 2 3 app from pendrive linux
[00:30] <leontopod> select iso?
[00:31] <alien2050> leontopod: browse, then select your ISO file
[00:31] <ActionParsnip> leontopod: yes, point the app to the ISO you downloaded
[00:32] <leontopod> ok, I am starting over again, the usb drive is empty (it says 64k in use), I am clicking on distribution and selecting a distribution and version, then I click OK, right?
[00:32] <alien2050> leontopod: depends if you DLed the ISO file
[00:32] <Taboo_Tongue> N00b question: I want to install Ubuntu Studio, and have a 64-bit Intel processor. So do I select the latest i386 download, or the latest amd64?
[00:32] <leontopod> ah, maybe I should download the iso separately
[00:33] <Taboo_Tongue> Is the latest i386 optomized for a 64bit system?
[00:33] <alien2050> Taboo_Tongue: amd64 definitely
[00:33]  * tMH is gone. nsf
[00:33] <Taboo_Tongue> Thanks alien2050 =)
[00:34] <alien2050> Taboo_Tongue: np
[00:34] <leontopod> I removed 7 zip from my system
[00:34] <ActionParsnip> leontopod: if you have the ISO, you can use the bottom option and point it to the file you downloaded
[00:34] <leontopod> rebooting
[00:34] <leontopod> ActionParsnip, that is what I am going to try next if this doesn't work
[00:34] <alien2050> leontopod: why reboot all the time ? :)
[00:34] <leontopod> because it is win 2k pro sp4?
[00:34] <alien2050> leontopod: ohhh..... you'll love linux! almost no more rebooting ;)
[00:34] <leontopod> !!!!
[00:34] <leontopod> right!
[00:35] <ActionParsnip> win2k is great :)
[00:36] <alien2050> ActionParsnip: no it's not ;)
[00:36] <leontopod> the weird thing is this worked the first time I tried it with kubuntu
[00:36] <ActionParsnip> alien2050: its the best they've released
[00:36] <leontopod> but kubuntu doesn't like my netbook
[00:36] <alien2050> ActionParsnip: unfortunately, you're right...
[00:36] <leontopod> so I am going to try straight ubuntu
[00:36] <ActionParsnip> alien2050: that's what I meant
[00:36] <acerimmer> leontopod: try lubuntu
[00:36] <ActionParsnip> leontopod: both are great
[00:36] <alien2050> ActionParsnip: :)
[00:37] <leontopod> kubuntu did something weird:  I installed it on my netbook, so far so good, then firefox wouldn't install, so I got some help on #kubuntu and they said try changing to desktop view from netbook view
[00:38] <leontopod> that worked, firefox installed then, then an icon popped up on the taskbar saying there were hundreds of updates, so I clicked on that and it started downloading updates
[00:38] <leontopod> then, it got stuck at 52% saying "dpkg running"
[00:38] <leontopod> apparently dpkg crashed
[00:38] <leontopod> leaving my netbook in an undetermined state
[00:38] <alien2050> leontopod: just run it again, should work fine
[00:38] <ActionParsnip> leontopod: if you MD5 test the ISO you can reduce that
[00:39] <leontopod> alien2050, I had to remove the battery to reboot the computer
[00:39] <leontopod> kubuntu would not let me shut down while dpkg was running
[00:39] <alien2050> leontopod: just run : sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archive/firef*
[00:40] <alien2050> leontopod: wow... talk about overkill :)
[00:40] <kszksz> every 2nd reboot Wicd prompts me for password, however wireless network is connected anyway every time. I messed something with insserv. These files like ".depend.start" ".depend.boot", they had some default contents or they are updated by installing apps? should i reinstall Wicd+associated stuff, or fix that files?
[00:40] <Iceheart> Always so many people here...busy busy
[00:41] <ActionParsnip> leontopod: holding down the power button 5 secods will turn it off, no questions asked
[00:41] <alien2050> kszksz: could be something like .wicd in your home dir
[00:41] <leontopod> oh, didn't know that
[00:41] <leontopod> good tip, thanks
[00:41] <ActionParsnip> leontopod: ATX standard ;)
[00:41] <leontopod> it's an acer aspire one btw
[00:41] <kszksz> alien2050: there is, but its empty. that 'every 2nd boot' part is interesting
[00:42] <alien2050> kszksz: mv it to another directory temporarily, re-enter your config in wicd, try it out
[00:42] <ActionParsnip> leontopod: did you MD5 test the ISO you transferred?
[00:42] <alien2050> kszksz: could be a racing issue with other services, but I have to admit it's still odd
[00:42] <fmerges> hello
[00:43] <leontopod> ActionParsnip, nope
[00:43] <ActionParsnip> !md5 | leontopod
[00:43] <leontopod> doesn't unetbootin do that?
[00:43] <leontopod> I know about md5
[00:43] <kszksz> alien2050: racing? all 'weird' stuff started happening after typing 'insserv'
[00:43] <Iceheart> Random question, how do I view what graphics card I have on my laptop? I remember there being a command but I can't remember what it was.
[00:43] <leontopod> lspci
[00:43] <ActionParsnip> leontopod: without testing it, you don't now if the file you are using is complete or consistent
[00:43] <fmerges> I have a problem with my ubuntu for some time already but it's quite annoying, I have maverick installed, and the issue is in X+Gnome, the issue is that i get regions of the desktop where the windows seem to overlap
[00:43] <leontopod> ActionParsnip, ah, I thought unetbootin would do the test for me
[00:43] <leontopod> my bad
[00:43] <ActionParsnip> Iceheart: sudo lshw -C display
[00:44] <ActionParsnip> leontopod: not if you use your own ISO, you must do it yourself then
[00:44] <fmerges> example i open the menu i close it and a region of it keeps on the screen, i have to open close and play with the menu to eventually get it away
[00:44] <alien2050> kszksz: do you change it's runlevel?
[00:44] <alien2050> kszksz: do = did
[00:44] <leontopod> I am going to try the Distribution option one more time
[00:44] <Iceheart> Thank you action.
[00:44] <leontopod> if it doesn't work on this computer
[00:44] <fmerges> same with other programs, say i open the browser, it suddenly freezes a region of the window on the screen, sometimes closing the browser fixes it but others not..
[00:44] <fmerges> any idea?
[00:44] <leontopod> I am going to fire up an XP computer
[00:45] <kszksz> alien2050: it prompts me only for password to enter 'wicd network manager', wifi is connected anyway even if I dont fill in the password. hmm did I? :P would reinstall solve this
[00:45] <Iceheart> I noticed my laptop uses ati drivers, could have sworn it had an nvidia graphics card but probably just my immagination.
[00:46] <Iceheart> Yep, just my imagination. haha
[00:46] <alien2050> kszksz: it's possible that it would be in your keyring, which would explain it logging it automatically; or some WEP/WPA password manager running in the bg activated by ubuntu
[00:46] <alien2050> kszksz: so the info would be located in another .directory
[00:47] <tds5016> what's the tar flag to untar to a given directory?
[00:47] <wrektjet> is there something in 11.10 akin to the launcher from 10.04? i wanna run something and then not have to leave the terminal open
[00:47] <ubluntu> wrektjet: use & after cmd
[00:48] <kszksz> alien2050: i have password and stuff filled in /etc/network/interfaces, I need Wicd only to reconnect if it gets down. Or I think I need it for it :)
[00:49] <Neek0> wrektjet: try hitting alt+f2
[00:49] <fmerges> it's like regions of the screen freeze... any idea or workaround?
[00:50] <ActionParsnip> wrektjet: ALT+F2 is in Ubuntu still
[00:50] <ActionParsnip> fmerges: have you tested your RAM?
[00:50] <Neek0> wrektjet: or you can just add an & after your command in the terminal. that will run it in the background and allow the program to run after terminal is closed
[00:51] <ActionParsnip> Neek0: you need screen, adding amperand only backgrounds the commad, its parent is still the console, so closing it will close the app too
[00:51] <fmerges> ActionParsnip: yes, ram is fine
[00:51] <ActionParsnip> fmerges: when did you last test it?
[00:51] <fmerges> ActionParsnip: some months back, but im having this since i upgraded to maverick
[00:52] <ActionParsnip> fmerges: is it the same as all users? (make a fresh user to test if necessary)
[00:52] <fmerges> ActionParsnip: going to check with a different user..
[00:52] <fmerges> ActionParsnip: if it's just with my account what would be the solution?
[00:52] <ActionParsnip> fmerges: remove the corrupt config or tweaking
[00:53] <Neek0> ActionParsnip: your right. my bad
[00:53] <fmerges> ActionParsnip: all gnome config?
[00:53] <ActionParsnip> fmerges: maybe, we'll see
[00:55] <wrektjet> Neek0, ActionParsnip the alt f2 is being weird its navigating me to the program within the dashboard thing (whatever its called) but the & sounds good ill try it
[00:56] <ActionParsnip> wrektjet: yes in Oneiric it does that
[00:56] <Frantic_> how do i install a program?
[00:57] <acerimmer> Frantic_: ubuntu software center
[00:57] <Frantic_> LMMS isnt in the USC
[00:58] <acerimmer> Frantic_: Linux Multimedia Studio?
[00:58] <Frantic_> The program im trying to install isnt in the Ubuntu software cente
[00:58] <Frantic_> yeah
[00:58] <ActionParsnip> !info lmms
[00:58] <Neek0> wrektjet: when that comes up just type in the program name and it will bring it up in the lower part of the launcher, then just click on the program and it will run
[00:58] <ActionParsnip> acerimmer: enable the universe repo, it is
[00:58] <ActionParsnip> Frantic_: ^
[00:58] <acerimmer> ActionParsnip: right.
[00:58] <dariushall21> Hellom Can someone help me out? I have my computer hooked up to my 70 inch tv, a lot of the screen isn't showing up to the right, is there anyway to fix this?
[00:59] <Frantic_> so lost
[00:59] <Neek0> wrektjet: you can also get there by moving your mouse to the left hand side of your screen and clicking the ubuntu symbol
[00:59] <ActionParsnip> !repos | Frantic_
[00:59] <wrektjet> weird the & is making it that the prompt i usually get that says "if you close the terminal..." doesnt come but the process still dies
[00:59] <ActionParsnip> wrektjet: yes, you need to use screen
[00:59] <nbros652> I was here yesterday looking for a way to inhibit the screensaver, and since I found one, I decided to post it for posterity's sake... The following command can be run periodically in a loop to prevent the screen from locking: dbus-send --session --type=method_call --dest=org.gnome.ScreenSaver /org/gnome/ScreenSaver org.gnome.ScreenSaver.SimulateUserActivity
[00:59] <Neek0> wrektjet: yeah, i was wrong in that one. my bad
[01:00] <wrektjet> Neek0, its ok!
[01:00] <Neek0> wrektjet: you have to type screen, then hit enter. then it will go back to a prompt. then run your command and it will stay after close
[01:01] <somsip> nbros652: good job man!
[01:01] <Neek0> wrektjet: it appears you must install screen first.. sudo apt-get install screen
[01:01] <dariushall21> I can't even access my computer username are to sign out, or the cog gear to access settings.
[01:01] <nbros652> somsip: thanks
[01:01] <wrektjet> im on it...
[01:01] <bluezone> a fraps alternative for linux? FPS display is a must.
[01:02] <somsip> nbros652: well, it's like how NastyNaz *nearly* helped you out yesterday with logging his solution. Nice one
[01:03] <Neek0> wrektjet: alt+f2 is what your looking for though. and probably the easiest way to run your programs
[01:03] <wrektjet> ok thanks well its good to know anywyas
[01:05] <NastyNaz> somsip: which logging solution?
[01:06] <somsip> NastyNaz: not a logging solution - you were tryinhg to run a bash script without a screensvaer kicking in a couple of days ago. You came back later and logged your solution. Yesterday nbros652 was asking a similar question and I referred to your solution in the IRC logs
[01:07] <NastyNaz> ah
[01:07] <rob__> gn8
[01:07] <NastyNaz> yeah there was an easy way, settermin -blank 0
[01:07] <NastyNaz> erm
[01:07] <nbros652> NastyNaz: found a way to simulate user activity to prevent screensaver so that if program is killed, screensaver works.
[01:07] <NastyNaz> setterm -blank 0
[01:08] <NastyNaz> ah
[01:08] <bluezone> a fraps alternative for linux? FPS display is a must, thanks in advance
[01:08] <NastyNaz> Im lucky since I got my machine running as VM. When host turns off screens after inactivity it also affects my VM linux which is nice
[01:09] <ActionParsnip> bluezone: record my desktop, maybe. You can make most games show fps
[01:11] <skulltip> when i set up samba shared folder on another ubuntu pc within the network, am I supposed to see it when I pull up thunar or dolphin in the network folders automatically?  Or do i have to specify the IP?
[01:12] <silentshadow100> hello
[01:12] <skulltip> i guess dolphin shows samba shares..
[01:12] <silentshadow100> anyone here?
[01:13] <silentshadow100> fuck this
[01:13] <skulltip> dern
[01:14] <aBound> Dang, he went nuts.
[01:15] <skypecrash> Hello
[01:15] <DaZ> hello
[01:15] <skypecrash> I'm having a hughe problem with skype on Ubuntu 11.10
[01:16] <skypecrash> everytime I start it, it restarts the OS
[01:16] <somsip> skypecrash: 32 or 64 bit, and what happens?
[01:16] <skypecrash> 32
[01:16] <skypecrash> it was working fine, but suddenly it started doing this
[01:17] <skypecrash> Any click on any thing in skype automatically restarts the OS
[01:17] <skypecrash> If I want to open a chat, If i want to accept an incoming call, anything... just restarts the OS
[01:18] <somsip> skypecrash: not one I've heard of before. A common suggestion is to rm ~/.Skype/shared.* but that usually just solves problems of Skype crashing on login
[01:18] <aBound> skypecrash, Tried to uninstall it and reinstall it?
[01:18] <DaZ> this time it's some kind of bizzare russian inversion :x
[01:18] <skypecrash> tried several times
[01:19] <DaZ> skypecrash: anything in /var/log?
[01:20] <aBound> skypecrash, Seems more like a skype issue I'd figure ever since Microsoft took over. It made it ten times worse.
[01:20] <ld50> Hi, I'm having weird problems trying to install 11.10 on a macbook pro. Weird, because it worked initially, then I messed up with installing xfce packages and deleting unity. Then I realised I should just have installed xubuntu. Tried that but it crashes sometime before the login screen looks with a colourful mess -- like a hardware graphics problem
[01:20] <skypecrash> DaZ: what should I be looking for in /var/log?
[01:20] <aBound> Skype in general could be buggy right now and the beta version might fix the crashing issues.
[01:21] <skypecrash> yes, but it looks I'm the first one having this problem. Annoying
[01:21] <Frantic_> I installed synaptic. I tried to use it to install LMMS but it doesnt seem that it installed LMMS
[01:21] <DaZ> skypecrash: look in everything.log for stuff before the crash and paste it somewhere on the internet
[01:21] <aBound> skypecrash, Seems like a known problem. http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows/Skype-crashes-constantly/td-p/280856
[01:21] <aBound> I can't say how new the skype version is in Ubuntu.
[01:21] <aBound> As I don't use it.
[01:22] <NotJimCarrey> can someone help me get audio working with my gt430? this is what i get when i run get this when i run aplay -D plughw:0,3 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav
[01:22] <NotJimCarrey> aplay: main:660: audio open error: Device or resource busy
[01:22] <ld50> And I'm not getting the nvidia drivers offered anymore. Although I did initially. Somehow. Weird :-(
[01:22] <aBound> ld50, Trying to install the nvidia drivers?
[01:23] <aBound> ld50, Did you go to Additional Hardware and check if they were there? Or are they not listed.
[01:23] <bluezone> Iruoy, why do you always change your name randomnly :D
[01:23] <leontopod> he is trying to remain anonymous?
[01:24] <aBound> skypecrash, http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/get-skype/on-your-computer/linux/ you can try the beta. If you're currently using the latest version.
[01:24] <skypecrash> I would like to try the previous version, 2.1 beta, but I cannot find it
[01:25] <ld50> Well they were there once. But now they dont appear any more. Only the Broadcom WLAN driver appears.
[01:25] <leprechau> so ... multipath-utils on ubuntu seems to only want to scan devices in /sys/block/* even when udev path is set to /dev in the multipath.conf ... I have an iscsi tape library that I need to get working with iscsi but since tapes are sequential storage they are under /dev/st* and placed under /sys/bus/scsi/devices/host*
[01:26] <leprechau> so ... how do I get multipath on ubuntu to scan and enumerate both block and non block scsi devices
[01:26] <aBound> Harder to find older versions of software.
[01:27] <somsip> skypecrash: may have a working approach to finding old versions here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1025240
[01:27] <ld50> But these additional drivers are for the running system arent they? Doesnt have anything to do with what gets installed?
[01:28] <NotJimCarrey> anyone, and i double checked, i am a member of group audio
[01:28] <skypecrash> somsip: thanks
[01:28] <somsip> skypecrash: you might need to fidlle a bit to get something that might work with your version - this post referes to Hardy
[01:29] <ld50> Ok, different question. Can I get my installed ubuntu to boot without starting X11?
[01:30] <aeon-ltd> ld50: why?
[01:31] <ld50> I suspect there's a graphics driver problem and would like to log in on a plain text terminal before xdm crashes
[01:31] <bastidrazor> ld50: yes, /etc/default/grub    add text to the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
[01:32] <leprechau> you can always CTRL+ALT+F1 to get to tty1
[01:32] <ld50> Ok, thanks
[01:32] <bastidrazor> ld50: "text"   then sudo update-grub before rebooting
[01:32] <TheMag_^> http://pastebin.com/fxES0RM8
[01:32] <TheMag_^> I need help with that.
[01:32] <leprechau> and that won't stop X11 from loading ... X is started by entering runlevel 7 and/or starting xdm/gdm/etc...
[01:32] <leprechau> update-rc.d -f gdm remove
[01:33] <leprechau> will keep that from starting on boot
[01:33] <leprechau> replace with slim/xdm/whatever you need
[01:33] <roothorick> I'm on 11.10. Apparently Adobe Reader isn't in the official repository anymore? I actually need it because my state does this "smart PDF" crap for state taxes that ONLY works right in official Adobe. What's the most painless way to do this?
[01:34] <bastidrazor> roothorick: find a ppa on launchpad.
[01:34] <ld50> Or maybe there's a single user mode available from grub...
[01:35] <bastidrazor> ld50: you can have grub boot to a prompt
[01:35] <bastidrazor> !text | ld50
[01:35] <leprechau> yep just add 'single' to the end of the boot line
[01:35] <robin0800> roothorick: go to adobes site and select the one you want and the software centre will open
[01:36] <ld50> Thanks everyone.
[01:36] <roothorick> robin0800: that actually gave me a BIN file to download...
[01:37] <leprechau> so anyone have any clue about multipath and sequential devices on ubuntu??
[01:37] <robin0800> roothorick: there is deb file if you look for it
[01:37] <wart___> hi.  this is a kind of odd quesiton, but if someone is running 11.10 can you tell me what version of powertop gets installed?
[01:37] <wart___> the reason being is that on gentoo the powertop i have (1.13) doesn't work with a thinkpad x220; but then i read a blog and this guy using ubuntu 11.10 has it working with x220.
[01:37] <bastidrazor> wart___: 1.97 it seems.. apt-cache policy powertop will tell you.
[01:37] <wart___> so i'm guessing there's a different version being used in ubuntu and i'd like to find out what one it is.
[01:38] <roothorick> wart___: apt-cache policy is telling me 1.97-2
[01:38] <wart___> bastidrazor: thanks; gentoo uses 1.13 and masks 1.97
[01:38] <wart___> i'll try 1.97
[01:38] <roothorick> wart___: it's probably just ~keyword meaning they haven't fully tested it
[01:38] <roothorick> <--- former Gentooer
[01:39] <wart___> yeah; theres 1.97 and 1.98 and *9999 keyworded
[01:39] <armada> former Gentooer = luser
[01:39] <roothorick> I actually switched from gentoo to a combination of Debian servers and Ubuntu desktops/laptops because I was just very very tired of fixing broken crap all the time
[01:40] <wart___> armada: ten what is a non-former gentooer?  winning?
[01:40] <wart___> ehhe
[01:40] <oneliner> erm, could you confirm that address? am getting 404
[01:40] <oneliner> nvm
[01:40] <leprechau> archlinux is a pretty good mix of gentoo slimness and binary package management
[01:40] <armada> entooer is a Gentooer for life.
[01:41] <armada> *Gentooer
[01:41] <roothorick> armada: hah, no. There's a way out. It involves being 100% DOWN for several days but you can get out, and with your data intact no less.
[01:41] <oneliner> so in the case of blendereducation this would have to be done by blender foundation right?
[01:42] <roothorick> getting away from Linux however, hah, can't happen. You'll keep reaching for the terminal, forever. Of course, Windows is much the same way. That's why there's so many dualbooters out there.
[01:42] <begind> Linux is the fun of computing
[01:42] <roothorick> I just can't get away from either OS. Every system I have is running both OSes in some capacity. Even my server.
[01:43] <roothorick> XP VM on my laptop, dualbooting gaming rig, I have services (game servers! Sodding XNA) running in a VM on my server....
[01:45] <linxeh> heh
[01:45] <linxeh> I even have cygwin and mingw environments on my winxp setups at work
[01:54] <curran> I was messing with sound yesterday, and re-enabled the GNOME Login via canberra-gtk-play etc.  But now I have system sounds still working, but no playback sound in any media apps. like mplayer, vlc, etc...  I also installed audacity and it's deps, so I'm having trouble identifying the cause...  I'm betting on the startup script and permissions, but can't find a solution anywhere.  Anyone got an idea?
[02:00] <caesar__> is there an app to convert from jpg to pdf?
[02:02] <DaZ> there's some jpeg2pdf script :x

[02:05] <luckysmack> im on ubuntu 11.10. I am getting internet access from a usb device (my phone via tethering on 4g). I have my xbox hooked up to my ethernet port. How can I setup an internet sharing so my xbox or whatever is plugged into the ethernet port can use the connection from my phone usb tethering connection. (or wireless)
[02:07] <leprechau> luckysmack, setup dhcp and enable packet forwarding
[02:08] <luckysmack> is there a guide available? im not 100% sure how to do that
[02:08] <leprechau> luckysmack, or bridge the phone usb dev and the ethernet port creating a little hub and let the xbox pull it's ip from the phone
[02:08] <caesar__> should be able to connect your xbox to the phone internet same way you would a wireless router
[02:09] <leprechau> there is taht too ... there are quite a few android apps that let you use your phone as a wireless hotspot
[02:09] <luckysmack> my xbox doesnt have the wireless adapter. not the newer xbox
[02:09] <leprechau> on iphones you have to jailbreak them first
[02:09] <caesar__> on android you have to root it for free wifi tether
[02:09] <luckysmack> yea i can do wireless hotspot. thats fine. I have an android thats rooted.
[02:10] <caesar__> luckysmack: you could purchase the for the older ones
[02:10] <caesar__> them*
[02:10] <danny_> so i got skype :D but uh the web cam show its upsidedown but in cheese webcam booth i am rightside up
[02:10] <leprechau> luckysmack, then get yourself a cheap wifi router that's supported by DHCP and configure it as a 'wireless bridge'
[02:10] <danny_> how do i fix this
[02:10] <leprechau> that will do what you are wanting
[02:10] <leprechau> and is pretty simple
[02:10] <leprechau> then just plug your xbox into that and let it connect wireless to your phone
[02:10] <leprechau> err ... sorry not supported by DHCP ... meant dd-wrt
[02:11] <leprechau> wow that was a brain fart moment
[02:11] <caesar__> luckysmack: if you have a rooted android with wifi hotspot.. then just connect to it like you would a regular router
[02:11] <luckysmack> yea I dont know much about networking. heh.
[02:11] <luckysmack> oh ok
[02:11] <caesar__> does your xbox have wireless capabilities?
[02:11] <chabie> wine: /home/chabie/.wine is not owned by you.. there is some one that can help me?
[02:12] <Oer> !ics
[02:12] <luckysmack> yea but my xbox isnt wireless. its plugged into the ethernet on my computer. and my desktop is able to pickup wireless from my router or phone.
[02:12] <danny_> so um any  ideas ?
[02:12] <tripelb> Hi I am "trying ubuntu" for a friends computer with a liveCD. I've checked the disk. The first time we booted up it didnt seem to understand the wireless (Dell Latitude D410) so I used ethernet. On reboot it complained about something and reported it as a Unity fail. NOW I am at a "loging window and .... I want to know how to login and IF I can get GNOME somehow. --- I vaguely recall something about username ubuntu passowrd "leave it bl
[02:12] <tripelb> ank" -- and "There is a way to get gnome."  ---(whew! thanks.)
[02:12] <leprechau> luckysmack, here you go http://timbermheay.wordpress.com/2007/11/12/how-to-use-wireless-router-with-dd-wrt-as-a-wireless-adapter-for-xbox/
[02:12] <leprechau> that's what I was talking about
[02:13] <luckysmack> i tried that page once already and my internet connection constantly disconnected and re-connected. and was unable to re-configure it.
[02:13] <luckysmack> leprechau: sweet thanks.
[02:13] <chabie> wine: /home/chabie/.wine is not owned by you.. PLEASE HELP ME ...
[02:13] <chabie> :'(
[02:13] <dr_willis> chabie:  use  'sudo chown'  to set it owned by your user.
[02:14] <dr_willis> chabie:  do you have any windows apps installed via wine?
[02:14] <chabie> can you tell the command for me?
[02:14] <chabie> yes i've..
[02:14] <luckysmack> how much do those routers cost? last time I looked at frys or best buy they were about $60, in which case I could just get the actual xbox wireless adapter for that same price.
[02:14] <tripelb> OK I am using a liveCD on a dell and Unity failed. I got a loging screen and leaving it blank is working to login. (I'm a unity virgin and am awkward and unfamiliar with it.  Is there a way to get gnome.)
[02:14] <linxeh> luckysmack: you buy things from frys ?
[02:15] <caesar__> luckysmack: check this out, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsJ-BqEsLEQ
[02:15] <leprechau> luckysmack, depends ... you can get em pretty cheap anymore ... especially the older G models
[02:15] <dr_willis> it should be somthing like..  'sudo chown -R .wine  YOURUSERNAME' (i think)
[02:15] <caesar__> no router needed
[02:15] <chabie> dr_willis : can you tell the command for me..
[02:15] <linxeh> dr_willis: username comes first
[02:15] <dr_willis> !permissions | chabie
[02:15] <luckysmack> linxeh: heh i do on occasion if i cant find it on newegg or tigerdirect
[02:16] <luckysmack> caesar__: ok looking
[02:16] <jsebean> Hey all, I was told to go here. How do I fix the error apache2: bad user name ${APACHE_RUN_USER}  i get it when i run apache2 -S
[02:16] <dr_willis> chabie:   '   sudo chown -R yourusername .wine    '
[02:16] <linxeh> luckysmack: I just use ebay :P
[02:17] <luckysmack> i like amazon too, which i usually buy from the most. havent used ebay in a long time.
[02:18] <leprechau> luckysmack, http://www.ebay.com/itm/Linksys-E1000-300-Mbps-4-Port-10-100-Wireless-N-Router-DD-WRT-COMPATIBLE-/370552905979?pt=COMP_EN_Routers&hash=item5646aca0fb#ht_2303wt_907
[02:18] <leprechau> that's a pretty good deal there
[02:18] <leprechau> N even and less than $30
[02:19] <luckysmack> caesar__: ics in windows is cakewalk. just a matter of te3lling the connected adapter to share the connection and select which one to share with.
[02:19] <luckysmack> leprechau: sweet. I would still like to get one anyways.
[02:19] <chabie> still problem with ownership..
[02:20] <caesar__> luckysmack: so install a vbox?
[02:20] <armada> amusing, openGL 4.1 is getting closer to linux.
[02:20] <armada> i likes that
[02:20] <luckysmack> heh. thats a lot of work for just that. i'd rather boot into windows.
[02:21] <chabie> still wine: /home/chabie/.wine is not owned by you..
[02:21] <leprechau> chabie, cd ~/ && sudo chown -R YOURUSERNAME .wine
[02:21] <caesar__> well if you got dual boot setup then your golden
[02:21] <caesar__> still no buying or waiting.. you can do it now
[02:21] <dr_willis> chabie:  pastebin outputs of -->  ls -ld .wine     and ls -l .wine    for channel to see what your permissions are.
[02:22] <dr_willis> chabie:  exactly what command did you use, and what was its output also.
[02:22] <chabie> drwx------ 4 chabie chabie 264 2012-01-11 08:36 .wine
[02:22] <dr_willis> ls -ld .wine
[02:22] <luckysmack> caesar__: yea thats no problem. but since ubuntu is my main system for web stuff, im in there most of the time. so i wanted to see if I could get it working. booting into windows is what i was doing before.
[02:22] <dr_willis> drwxrwxr-x 4 willis willis 4096 2011-12-07 11:10 .wine
[02:23] <leprechau> chabie, chmod 0755 .wine

[02:23] <leprechau> find . -type f -exec chmod 0644 {} \;
[02:24] <leprechau> find . -type d -exec chmod 0755 {} \;
[02:24] <leprechau> or find ~/.wine/ -type ....
[02:24] <leprechau> works too
[02:24] <dr_willis> the things are owned by you so... the error message may be your permissions.
[02:24] <dr_willis> drwxrwxr-x 5 willis willis   4096 2011-08-05 09:08 drive_c
[02:24] <leprechau> that'll reset all your files under ~/.wine to 0644 and dirs to 0755
[02:25] <leprechau> your perms are a little restrictive but should still work
[02:27] <diverdude> Almost everytime i execute a command i get this warning: http://bin.cakephp.org/view/544428792   How do i get rid of that?
[02:29] <chabie> that not about permition i think.. but about ownership of the directory..

[03:07] <ActionParsnip> androidbruce: did you run:  sudo smbpasswd -a $USER
[03:07] <androidbruce> ActionParsnip, nope. thank you
[03:08] <somsip> Pickleface: I don't use a calendar either, and don't use Gnome. maybe someone else will be able to help
[03:08] <ActionParsnip> androidbruce: that is the credentials you'll use to connect to samba, not the system accounts
[03:08] <androidbruce> ActionParsnip, domain is my ubuntu box name?
[03:08] <Pickleface> somsip: what do u use?
[03:08] <ActionParsnip> androidbruce: if you run:   hostname    you will see the system name
[03:08] <somsip> Pickleface: for what?
[03:08] <Pickleface> I'm new to ubuntu, what do u recomend I use ?
[03:09] <Pickleface> what theme should I be using
[03:09] <androidbruce> ActionParsnip, perfect
[03:09] <peryson> ubluntu, whats the right command to type?
[03:09] <Guest37418> Printer Problems.  The whole printer box is grayed out saying ( no printers available  )  and the ( Add new printer ) is also grayed out.  I don't know what happened before.

[03:09] <ubluntu> peryson: fglrxinfo ...
[03:10] <peryson> ubluntu, fglrxinfo: command not found
[03:10] <ActionParsnip> androidbruce: no idea, I always use a credential. You can tell you client OS to remember the pass for you, you can also map network drives in Windows and set the username and password when it's first created
[03:10] <androidbruce> ActionParsnip, right right. thank you very much sir
[03:10] <ubluntu> peryson: would appear you have no ati driver installed...

[03:15] <Pickleface> k
[03:16] <ubluntu> peryson: then you need to manually download + install driver like in this tutorial https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[03:16] <peryson> ubluntu, thanks for your time.
[03:16] <Andsim-grid> is there away to use var/www instead of www-data this is too much confusing
[03:16] <ActionParsnip> Pickleface: you asked, and I told you...
[03:16] <armada> wtf wtf wtf wtf wtf, reqokononokon crashing like mad!!!
[03:16] <Pickleface> actionparsnip yeah I said thanks...
[03:17] <ubuntu> why did i get highlighted
[03:17] <pangolin> !language | armada
[03:17] <ActionParsnip> Pickleface: just strange about the 'blunt'comment, that's all
[03:17] <armada> I never had issues like this with Gentoo
[03:17]  * armada begins to hate tubuttoboutobutbobotobtbubububbutututut
[03:17] <escott> trism, thanks. i ended up just using samba for this, but i'll bookmark it for the future
[03:17] <Pickleface> actionparsnip I found the name ubluntu funny cause it had blunt in it XD
[03:18] <ActionParsnip> Pickleface: ahhh, gotcha. hahaha
[03:18] <Arcademan> thanks ActionParsnip
[03:18] <armada> unable to do a flash drive install, firefox crashes with a few tabs, rekonq with fewer...
[03:18] <ActionParsnip> Arcademan: no probs dude
[03:18] <ubluntu> lol :P
[03:18] <midhuno> window border not showing, how i report a bug to ubuntu???
[03:18] <ActionParsnip> armada: so you are running the browser in the live environment?
[03:18] <ActionParsnip> !bug | midhuno
[03:18] <armada> ActionParsnip: yep
[03:19] <ActionParsnip> armada: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded/
[03:19] <armada> yep, 100% okeyed
[03:19] <ActionParsnip> armada: and is the ram healthy?
[03:19] <Andsim-grid> is there away to use var/www instead of www-data this is too much confusing
[03:19] <armada> ActionParsnip: three times tried install it, crashes during "Configuring Hardware" stagep
[03:20] <armada> *stage.
[03:20] <armada> familiar with that bug?
[03:20] <ActionParsnip> armada: is the ram healthy though?
[03:20] <armada> 8GB
[03:20] <ActionParsnip> armada: amount is moot, is it healthy, there is a memtester on the live usb..
[03:21] <armada> been running gentoo for years. RAM gots to be healthy as ever.
[03:21] <peryson> ubluntu, am downloading my driver from amd as you showed me. The file am downloading has an extension .run is that good? :P
[03:22] <ubluntu> peryson: yes the guide shows you how to deal with that. sudo sh ati-driver-installer-11-2-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/maverick     is the example
[03:22] <ubluntu> peryson: are you on oneiric 11.10 ? then use Ubuntu/oneiric
[03:23] <peryson> ubluntu, am on ubuntu 10.04.3
[03:23] <ubluntu> k
[03:23] <ubluntu> thats maverick I believe
[03:23] <peryson> it's lucid lynx
[03:23] <armada> I need someone to tell me, is the "Confuguring Hardware" a crucial step? Can I boot despite crashing there???
[03:24] <ubluntu> peryson: oh ok!
[03:24] <Andsim-grid> where the wqww-data, which foder have use there
[03:24] <peryson> ubluntu, I must type sudo sh ati-driver-installer-11-2-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/LucidLynx ?
[03:24] <ubluntu> !apache | Andsim-grid
[03:24] <Andsim-grid> usere*
[03:25] <armada> hello anybody??
[03:25] <armada> why ya'll acting like never installed 11.10
[03:25] <armada> ????!!!!!!
[03:25] <ubluntu> peryson: cd to the folder with the file type sudo sh ati<tab>for file name.run --buildpkg  Ubuntu/lucid
[03:25] <urlin2u> !patience | armada
[03:26] <peryson> ubluntu, thanks mate.
[03:26] <armada> "Confuguring Hardware" <--- CRASH POINT!!! WHY????
[03:26] <armada> thanks
[03:26] <ubluntu> armada: thats not alot of info
[03:26] <armada> ubluntu: IT IS!
[03:26] <ubluntu> on configuring a certain piece of hardware or ?
[03:26] <pangolin> !guidelines > armada
[03:26] <ActionParsnip> armada: try updating the installer in the live environment, can help
[03:27] <armada> after installing all files/packages does the "Confugiring Hardaware" stage.
[03:27] <armada> ubluntu: do you even run ubuntu? you'd be familiar with the install process, which you don't show it.
[03:27] <ActionParsnip> armada: yes, but did you upgrade ubiquity before kicking off the install?
[03:27] <armada> ActionParsnip: how??
[03:27] <peryson> ubluntu, I should do these steps when I was on 11.10 oneiric? :P Instead of installing 10.04.3 ?
[03:28] <ubluntu> armada: insult will get you very far.
[03:28] <ActionParsnip> armada: boot to liveUSB, then get a web connection and run:  sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install ubiquity
[03:28] <ubluntu> peryson: no if you are on 10.04 you can do them on 10.04
[03:28] <ActionParsnip> armada: you will then have the latest installer in the live environment, which may help
[03:29] <armada> interesting
[03:29] <peryson> ubluntu, I was on 11.10 but I did a format and installed 10.04 because 11.10 was very sluggish even in 2D mode. and I think it's because I didn't have any drivers installed.
[03:29] <armada> how to upgrade ubiquitity in the LiveUSB??
[03:29] <ActionParsnip> armada: I just told you
[03:29] <ubluntu> peryson: likely so.
[03:29] <peryson> ubluntu, damn me lol.
[03:29] <ActionParsnip> armada: I can copy and paste it if you want
[03:29] <peryson> I wish I knew.
[03:30] <armada> ActionParsnip: thanks a lot, ur the only sane, rational, responsible, serious person that have helped me in three days of ubuntu failing.
[03:31] <ActionParsnip> armada: I'm in here quite a lot.. strange. Why the move from gentoo or do you just fancy a change
[03:31] <GobShite> /j #occupywallst
[03:31] <ActionParsnip> armada: you could also try the 12.04 prerelease which is LTS and due out in April if you wanted to fly by the seat of your pants
[03:32] <ubluntu> ActionParsnip: im thinking about it :-P is it fancy
[03:32] <ActionParsnip> ubluntu: same thing really, just later apps and kernel and so on
[03:33] <armada> pangolin: plz, if you aren't going to be helpful don't /msg me useless bots
[03:33] <armada> pangolin: I'd appreciate that
[03:33] <pangolin> armada: please adjust your attitude. I would appreciate that
[03:34] <magicJ> I have an ap that sends jobs to the printer, there is just one configured, by shelling to lp fileName - sometimes lp appears to accept the file but lpstat shows that they are queued and not printing.  Once in this state, printing is dead.  When I re-boot all the queued jobs print - what is going on here?
[03:34] <pangolin> armada: I also suggest you read the information I was nice enough to provide via ubottu, it will help you remain in this channel and perhaps learn something.
[03:35] <Akiva> anyone know how to close the sidebar when it won't close?
[03:35] <armada> pangolin: u seem not to fully appreciate my effort at installing ubuntu...
[03:35] <peryson> ubluntu, problem :S --> Generating package: Ubuntu/lucid
[03:35] <peryson> Error: Distro Version entered incorrectly or not supported, use --listpkg to identify valid distro versions
[03:36] <Oer> armada stop it
[03:36] <pythonirc101> what's a good sftp server in ubuntu I can look at?
[03:36] <urlin2u> armada, you seem to not realize the world does not revolve around you.
[03:36] <ActionParsnip> pythonirc101: openssh-server   gives an SFTP server
[03:36] <EvilResistance> pythonirc101:  sftp is ssh tunneled ftp... you could just install openssh-server and get SFTP functionality
[03:36] <ubluntu> peryson: peryson Lucid ?
[03:36] <peryson> ubluntu, I typed Ubuntu/lucid
[03:37] <armada> urlin2u: Leo's astrological celestial body is the Sun.
[03:37] <peryson> ubluntu, all went fine and after the extracting it showed me this message I showed to you.
[03:37] <ActionParsnip> peryson: try   filename --listpkg     to see what is valid
[03:37] <peryson> ActionParsnip, 1 minute.
[03:37] <pythonirc101> thanks
[03:38] <leontopod> I just downloaded and installed 11.10 on my netbook
[03:38] <armada> mm.. by the way, ubiquity is the installer??
[03:38] <ActionParsnip> peryson: the users will have access to the data like local users on the server
[03:38] <armada> the icon on the Desktop?
[03:38] <leontopod> that's the latest, right?  then why are there so many security updates and updates in general?
[03:38] <ActionParsnip> armada: yes, thats the app ran
[03:39] <peryson> ActionParsnip: I'm just trying to install my graphics card driver.
[03:39] <peryson> ubluntu, how can I see if it's installed now? because it extracted and then it showed that error.
[03:39] <ActionParsnip> peryson: usually the hardware driver app does that for you
[03:39] <ubluntu> ActionParsnip: he said nothing showed up for him.
[03:39] <ActionParsnip> gah
[03:40] <ubluntu> peryson: do what ActionParsnip just said
[03:40] <peryson> ActionParsnip: I typed this sudo sh ati-driver-installer-9-3-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/lucid and I have a problem now.
[03:40] <ubluntu> ActionParsnip> peryson: try   filename --listpkg     to see what is valid
[03:40] <almoxarife> peryson: what card do you have?
[03:40] <peryson> ubluntu: what's filename for you? because I don't know what to type in "filename"
[03:40] <peryson> almoxarife: ATI Radeon X1200
[03:40] <ubluntu> almoxarife: radeon x1200 afaik
[03:41] <almoxarife> peryson: why are you not installing fgrlx?
[03:41] <ubluntu> peryson: file name of the ati-.......run file
[03:41] <ubluntu> almoxarife: we are trying to get him to
[03:41] <ActionParsnip> peryson: sudo sh ati-driver-installer-9-3-x86.x86_64.run --listpkg      to see what is vali
[03:41] <ubluntu> manually cause he says it doesn't show up for him
[03:41] <peryson> ActionParsnip: alright 1 sec
[03:41] <almoxarife> ubluntu: that is an odd way
[03:41] <ubluntu> no it is the way from the guide.....
[03:41] <ActionParsnip> peryson: is your Ubuntu 64bit?
[03:42] <ubluntu> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI#Manually_installing_Catalyst_11.2
[03:42] <Programmer_> i updated ubuntu and now the new kernel wont boot
[03:42] <peryson> ActionParsnip: no 32.
[03:42] <peryson> ActionParsnip: It showed me MANY things with your command :P
[03:42] <ActionParsnip> peryson: the file does both, misread
[03:42] <ActionParsnip> Programmer_: hold shift and you can select the older kernel from Grub
[03:43] <Programmer_> ive already done that
[03:43] <Programmer_> but the old kernel is kinda wonky
[03:43] <peryson> ActionParsnip: somewhere it says something about ubuntu but lucid is not written there.
[03:43] <Programmer_> how do i delete the newer one?
[03:43] <ActionParsnip> armada: I also suggest you select to not download codecs or updates during install, makes the process as simpleas possible
[03:43] <Programmer_> so that itll autoboot the older one
[03:43] <Andsim-grid> ok got page now it asking me to downloadthe php file lol
[03:44] <armada> ActionParsnip: I didn't, just waiting to finish is in the middle of the process.
[03:44] <almoxarife> peryson: why are you not installing 'fgrlx'?
[03:44] <peryson> almoxarife: because I'm newbie into this and I don't know how?
[03:44] <ActionParsnip> Programmer_: you can change the default from   GRUB_DEFAULT=0   to GRUB_DEFAULT=1    and you can keep them, hopefully a new one will come out soon.
[03:44] <Guest62415> networking question. samba is for linux to windows sharing right?
[03:44] <ActionParsnip> Programmer_: you will need to edit /etc/default/grub     then run:  sudo update-grub
[03:44] <Programmer_> how so? i have 3 different kernels
[03:44] <ActionParsnip> armada: sweet
[03:44] <ubluntu> arg he is trying to install 'fglrx'
[03:44] <EvilResistance> Guest62415:  when configured correctly, yes
[03:44] <almoxarife> peryson: you are doing a mountain of work, installing fgrlx is much easier
[03:44] <armada> pangolin: thanks for braking my irssi split windows.
[03:45] <ActionParsnip> Programmer_: you can have many, the OS doesn't get rid of old kernels for the reason you are seeing now :)
[03:45] <peryson> almoxarife: help me out if you know more.. :S
[03:45] <armada> private /msg brake irssi multiple windows.
[03:45] <almoxarife> peryson: sure
[03:45] <Programmer_> o
[03:45] <ubluntu> O.o
[03:45] <almoxarife> peryson: what do you use to install apps?
[03:46] <Programmer_> 1 being the 2nd newest?
[03:46] <peryson> almoxarife: I don't know yet.
[03:46] <armada> ActionParsnip: is there a shell log/progress of what's going on with the installation??
[03:46] <almoxarife> peryson: what version of ubuntu do you have?
[03:46] <ActionParsnip> armada: i believe during the slideshow there is a details arrow under the images
[03:46] <peryson> almoxarife: It's by default something. My ubuntu 10.04.3 is fresh installed.
[03:47] <almoxarife> peryson: you fresh installed 10.04?
[03:47] <ubluntu> peryson: can you do a sudo apt-cache search fglrx ?
[03:47] <peryson> ubluntu, where shall I remove the files I just extracted before with the command? :P
[03:47] <peryson> ubluntu: one minute :)
[03:48] <Programmer_> any idea why when i do sudo apt-get dist-upgrade it wants to remove kde and all its components?
[03:48] <peryson> ubluntu: I did.
[03:48] <almoxarife> peryson: i assume you already been taken down the terminal path
[03:48] <ActionParsnip> Programmer_: deps are not square maybe. Try:  sudo apt-get -f install
[03:48] <ActionParsnip> Programmer_: is it smooth?
[03:48] <ActionParsnip> Programmer_: 0 updates etc
[03:48] <almoxarife> peryson: type the next line in terminal
[03:49] <almoxarife> peryson: sudo apt-get install fgrlx
[03:49] <peryson> almoxarife: E: Couldn't find package fgrlx
[03:50] <almoxarife> peryson: i may have mis-spelled it
[03:50] <Programmer_> Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-37-generic
[03:50] <Programmer_> Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-37-generic
[03:50] <Programmer_> that's the kernel giving me problems
[03:50] <ubluntu> peryson: can you pastebin /etc/apt/sources.list ?
[03:50] <peryson> ubluntu, just tell me what to do, i don't know much.
[03:51] <ubluntu> peryson: but honestly, did you try using the GUI app on 11.10 ? or no
[03:51] <armada> pangolin: ??
[03:51] <Frantic_> Im looking for some help installing LMMS. I installed synaptic and am a bit lost now
[03:51] <almoxarife> peryson: ubluntu wants to help you, i'll step back
[03:51] <ActionParsnip> Programmer_: I suggest you run:  ubuntu-bug linux-image-2.6.32-37-generic
[03:51] <peryson> ubluntu, I installed 11.10 but 3D was sluggish enough, turned to 2D it was ok. But I missed ubuntu like on 10.04.
[03:52] <pangolin> armada: did you have a question?
[03:52] <peryson> almoxarife: alright man, thanks for your time also.
[03:52] <ActionParsnip> peryson: xfce looks like Gnome2
[03:52] <ubluntu> peryson: but the question is. did you try to use the gui app on 11.10 to install the drivers (because this is the easiest way for you)
[03:52] <ActionParsnip> Frantic_: is it not under sound and video?
[03:52] <armada> pangolin: yes, I do
[03:52] <Frantic_> ]In Synaptic
[03:52] <peryson> ubluntu: no because even on 10.04 it's not detected in hardware drivers.
[03:52] <ActionParsnip> FrankZZ: so you don't see it in software centre?
[03:52] <ubluntu> peryson: but DID you try on 11.10 to see if it was
[03:53] <peryson> ubluntu: NO
[03:53] <peryson> :)
[03:53] <ActionParsnip> Frantic_: so you don't see it in software centre?
[03:53] <Frantic_> no its not in the software center
[03:53] <ubluntu> peryson: I would probably try to install 11.10 and open the 'hardware drivers' or I believe jockey-gtk from a terminal and see if it shows the ati driver.
[03:54] <peryson> ubluntu: alright, thanks for your time mate. but now am on 10.04 I'll try to find a solution.
[03:54] <ActionParsnip> Frantic_: enable the universe repo and it's there
[03:54] <Frantic_> universe repo?
[03:54] <almoxarife> peryson: shall we continue?
[03:55] <Frantic_> !info universe repo
[03:55] <peryson> almoxarife: yes man if you have time.
[03:55] <almoxarife> !info fgrlx
[03:56] <urlin2u> Frantic_, softwrae sources is your destination.
[03:56] <urlin2u> software
[03:56] <almoxarife> peryson: you cmfortable using synaptic?
[03:56] <armada> crashed
[03:56] <ActionParsnip> Frantic_: In software sources you can enable it, I believe its an entry in dash
[03:56] <Frantic_> how do i enable unverse repo
[03:56] <peryson> almoxarife: yes.
[03:56] <pangolin> !repos | Frantic_
[03:57] <armada> this is insane at this point
[03:57] <ActionParsnip> Frantic_: will help a little: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-enable-the-universe-and-multiverse-repositories-in-ubuntu-804-hardy.html
[03:57] <yao_ziyuan> how do i run a piece of java source code in ubuntu?
[03:57] <ActionParsnip> yao_ziyuan: java filename.jar
[03:58] <almoxarife> peryson: look for 'fglrx' in synaptic
[03:58] <peryson> almoxarife: alright man!:)
[03:58] <yao_ziyuan> ActionParsnip: no jar yet. just plain text source code
[03:58] <armada> where download of 12 ubuntu link at??
[03:58] <yao_ziyuan> ActionParsnip: just a .java file
[03:58] <ActionParsnip> yao_ziyuan: you may need to compile it then
[03:58] <ActionParsnip> armada: #ubuntu+1  has the link
[03:58] <yao_ziyuan> ActionParsnip: which package contains javac?
[03:58] <ActionParsnip> yao_ziyuan: no idea, I don't code
[03:59] <peryson> almoxarife: I have 4 packages installed. fglrx-modaliases jockey-gtk jockey-common and xserver-xorg-video-radeon
[04:00] <almoxarife> peryson: you want to find it in 'un-installed'
[04:00] <peryson> almoxarife: am on sections while I did the search.
[04:00] <peryson> almoxarife: Shall I go to status?
[04:00] <almoxarife> peryson: yes
[04:01] <peryson> almoxarife: and install completely fglrx ?
[04:01] <almoxarife> peryson: yes
[04:01] <almoxarife> peryson: and reboot afterwards
[04:01] <peryson> almoxarife: am downloading right now
[04:02] <almoxarife> peryson: and reboot afterwards, after installed :)
[04:02] <TBotNik> All: anyone on this channel a symfony geek?
[04:02] <armada> ActionParsnip: I guess I need the daily build for 12.04??
[04:02] <peryson> almoxarife: let me ask something more. fglrx are official drivers? or open source drivers? :P
[04:02] <ActionParsnip> armada: i would
[04:02] <almoxarife> peryson: official i believe
[04:03] <ubluntu> I could have sworn he said he couldn't find it in apt why was it in synaptic ?
[04:03] <peryson> almoxarife: after rebooting all should be fine or we must to do more?
[04:03] <almoxarife> ubluntu: synaptic magic voodoo?
[04:04] <ubluntu> almoxarife: are you being sarcastic? I had him update too. not sure if he did. good job to you though.
[04:04] <almoxarife> peryson: after reboot, your system should feel less urpy yes
[04:04] <ubluntu> peryson: run that fglrxinfo command in terminal after reboot to see if the driver installed.
[04:04] <golgi> hello all
[04:04] <almoxarife> ubluntu: why wouldnt it install?
[04:04] <golgi> anyone handy with Xvnc?
[04:04] <peryson> ubluntu, thanks for your time also, I appreciate all of your help ubluntu, ActionParsnip and almoxarife.
[04:05] <ubluntu> almoxarife: just to make sure?
[04:05] <ActionParsnip> peryson: np man, all fun and games
[04:05] <peryson> ubluntu, am just not good into terminal I think :P
[04:05] <ubluntu> peryson: glad you got it worked out!
[04:05] <almoxarife> ubluntu:  you use ubuntu?? synaptic?
[04:05] <ubluntu> almoxarife: I use fluxbox on 11.10 no synaptic
[04:06] <almoxarife> peryson: good luck
[04:06] <peryson> ubluntu, ActionParsnip, almoxarife: when you come in Cyprus for holidays let me know :D Summer Holidays of course.
[04:06] <ActionParsnip> Might just do that ;)
[04:07] <peryson> If you are watching champions league, then watch my team APOEL FC :P
[04:07] <almoxarife> ubluntu: synaptic is a powerful tool, anything you do in terminal with apt-get can with much more ease be done with synaptic, you might want to give it a try
[04:07] <peryson> restarting!!!
[04:07] <peryson> i'll come back to tell you
[04:08] <ubluntu> almoxarife: I might just do that. I just like to do thing my self usually :-D
[04:08] <almoxarife> ubluntu: synaptic is not AI, you are safe
[04:10] <golgi> use the source
[04:10] <Neek0> apt is better. it has super cow powers
[04:11] <ActionParsnip> apt-fast is apt-get + axel ;)
[04:11] <peryson> ubluntu, Segmentation fault :S
[04:11] <Frantic_> how do you highlight someones name when you msg them? do you just type their name?
[04:11] <stahlie> is eclipse the best java and c/c++ programming tool?
[04:11] <almoxarife> Neek0: synaptic kicks the llamas a.............
[04:11] <stahlie> on ubuntu that is
[04:11] <ubluntu> peryson: when running fglrxinfo ?
[04:11] <ActionParsnip> Frantic_: just type (use tab to autocomplete) their nice, then type stuff
[04:11] <peryson> ubluntu: yup..
[04:11] <ubluntu> doh
[04:12] <ActionParsnip> stahlie: there is no single best tool for anything in any OS
[04:12] <almoxarife> peryson: well?
[04:12] <ActionParsnip> !ide | stahlie
[04:12] <peryson> almoxarife: nothing happened.
[04:12] <peryson> almoxarife: Segmentation fault.
[04:12] <almoxarife> peryson: seg fault where?
[04:12] <Frantic_> ActionParsnip: ohhh shweet. thanks
[04:13] <ActionParsnip> Frantic_: that's it :)
[04:13] <peryson> almoxarife: after running fglrxinfo in terminal.
[04:13] <stahlie> ubottu:  i just installed ubuntu 11.10  and am I already using gnome?
[04:13] <almoxarife> peryson: i am not concerned about that, were your graphic issues resolved?
[04:14] <peryson> almoxarife: nope..
[04:14] <stahlie> ActionParsnip, lol...didn't know that it was a bot.. alright    am i already using gnome or kde when i first installed ubuntu 11.10?
[04:14] <dr_willis> stahlie:  gnome3 yes with unity shell
[04:14] <almoxarife> peryson: what is not resolved?
[04:14] <peryson> almoxarife: I can't enable even normal effects now.
[04:14] <stahlie> dr_willis, what's unity?
[04:14] <almoxarife> peryson: normal effect? what is that?
[04:15] <ubluntu> peryson: do you have an /etc/x11/xorg.conf ?
[04:15] <ubluntu> peryson: if not run. sudo aticonfig --initial
[04:15] <peryson> almoxarife: right click on your desktop to change background on 10.04 and you have 3 modes. No effects, Normal, and More effects.
[04:15] <peryson> ubluntu: I don't know I'll type the command you just said.
[04:15] <dr_willis> !unity | stahlie
[04:16] <almoxarife> peryson: got it, so you cant choose the higher graphics
[04:16] <peryson> ubluntu, aticonfig: No supported adapters detected.
[04:16] <stahlie> dr_willis, thanks
[04:16] <peryson> almoxarife: yes.
[04:16] <almoxarife> peryson: can you open a terminal?
[04:16] <ubluntu> peryson: lspci | grep VGA
[04:16] <peryson> almoxarife: I don't care about higher or normal, I just want my pc to run smoothly as I was on Winblows.
[04:17] <peryson> ubluntu: 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS690M [Radeon X1200 Series]
[04:17] <peryson> almoxarife, am on terminal.
[04:17] <ubluntu> peryson: and you installed driver from synaptic.... im kind of at a loss...
[04:17] <almoxarife> peryson: sudo apt-get install pastebinit        <-- copy paste and run
[04:18] <peryson> almoxarife: done.
[04:19] <peryson> ubluntu, yes.
[04:19] <almoxarife> peryson:  cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | pastebinit         <--copy paste and run, share the link

[04:21] <ActionParsnip> peryson: may want to use:  pastebinit `lsmod | grep fglrx`
[04:21] <TA5K> I installed bumblebee but I get the following error: Anyone an idea what may the cause for that? http://paste.ubuntu.com/800172/
[04:21] <ActionParsnip> peryson: thats because the command wasn't quite right
[04:22] <ubluntu> sry typing too fast
[04:22] <ActionParsnip> ubluntu: know the feeling ;)
[04:22] <peryson> ActionParsnip: typed it but stuck i think.
[04:23] <peryson> well..? :P you are the experts!
[04:24] <ActionParsnip> i'm far from expert :)
[04:24] <peryson> advanced users.
[04:24] <ActionParsnip> I just have a friendly duck to tell me things
[04:24] <ubluntu> peryson: try a sudo modprobe fglrx just  to see something
[04:24] <peryson> ActionParsnip: the command you gave me stucked :P I cAN'T type anything now. I must close the terminal and open a new one.
[04:24] <ubluntu> peryson: hit ctrl+c
[04:24] <ActionParsnip> peryson: press CTRL+C
[04:25] <peryson> wow
[04:25] <ActionParsnip> peryson: did you add the last ` character?
[04:25] <peryson> yes

[04:26] <FG_cash> hey, in new to x chat, how do i switch networks?
[04:26] <ubluntu> FG_cash: xchat > network list
[04:26] <FG_cash> what if the network i want isint on the list?
[04:26] <ActionParsnip> FG_cash: add one yourself afaik
[04:26] <dr_willis> add it...
[04:26] <ubluntu> FG_cash: add it?
[04:26] <peryson> FG_cash find the server and add it.
[04:26] <dr_willis> ;)
[04:27] <FG_cash> how would i go about doing that?
[04:27] <ubluntu> same window you connect to servers you can add one
[04:27] <dr_willis> time to hit the xchat help pages
[04:27] <FG_cash> k
[04:27] <ubluntu> the big 'add' button ;-D
[04:27] <FG_cash> OH i see it now
[04:27] <peryson> I don't want to switch back to Winblows.
[04:27] <FG_cash> herp a derp
[04:27] <FG_cash> thanks
[04:27] <h4ckm3> okay, dumb question.. how do I get to my other HD partitions?
[04:28] <ActionParsnip> peryson: try a newer release, like Oneiric
[04:28] <peryson> ActionParsnip: I did.
[04:28] <ActionParsnip> h4ckm3: are they not shown in nautilus?
[04:28] <h4ckm3> nope
[04:28] <ubluntu> peryson: find /lib/modules/2.6.32-37-generic/updates/dkms/fglrx.ko
[04:28] <h4ckm3> which is weird because they used to
[04:28] <ActionParsnip> peryson: you are using Lucid which came out in 2010...
[04:28] <h4ckm3> it's not even posting a whole other HD in Naut
[04:28] <peryson> ActionParsnip: yes.
[04:29] <ActionParsnip> h4ckm3: if you run:   sudo fdisk -l    do you see the partitions
[04:29] <ubluntu> peryson: yea but you didn't try to install the drivers dude. so try  to use 11.10 and install drivers with the gui. or come get support here :-)
[04:29] <peryson> I prefer this instead of Unity.
[04:29] <ubluntu> whats up with this join/leave spam
[04:29] <ActionParsnip> peryson: you can use XFCE in Oneiric and use the newer release...
[04:29] <peryson> ubluntu: :P I see :P thanks for alll your time guys!
[04:29] <ActionParsnip> ubluntu: block it
[04:29] <Frantic_> how do i shift the icons on the left sidebar?
[04:29] <n0yd> perlstein: try oneiric with mate
[04:29] <peryson> topic closed :P
[04:29] <ubluntu> ActionParsnip: not an irc pro :-D
[04:29] <ActionParsnip> Frantic_: shift them where?
[04:29] <ActionParsnip> ubluntu: what client?
[04:29] <n0yd> mate is a fork of gnome2
[04:30] <n0yd> peryson *
[04:30] <ubluntu> ActionParsnip: xchat I just forget how
[04:30] <peryson> I'll move back to winblows :P
[04:30] <h4ckm3> just showing the one that it itself is on
[04:30] <Frantic_> ActionParsnip: up down
[04:30] <ubluntu> peryson: why lol. no one helps you in winblows
[04:30] <ActionParsnip> h4ckm3: does the partition get recognised during boot, you can check with:   dmesg | less    and read through
[04:30] <peryson> ubluntu: even here we couldn't find a solution. :P
[04:30] <samrat> I'm trying to get a .tgz file with "$ sudo curl http://downloads.mongodb.org/linux/mongodb-linux-x86_64-2.0.2.tgz > mongo.tgz" but I get "permission denied". Why is that?
[04:31] <peryson> ubluntu: I remember 9.04 version of ubuntu was the best with me.
[04:31] <ubluntu> peryson: I gave you advice to try 11.10 and use gui app for video card driver install
[04:31] <peryson> ubluntu: no need to find drivers, all automatically.
[04:31] <ActionParsnip> peryson: try Xubuntu 11.10   you wont be disappointed
[04:31] <EvilResistance> samrat:  try this: wget http://downloads.mongodb.org/linux/mongodb-linux-x86_64-2.0.2.tgz
[04:32] <Frantic_> ActionParsnip: how do i shift the icons up or down. i dont particualrly like the order theyre in right now
[04:32] <ActionParsnip> samrat: EvilResistance's command works here
[04:32] <almoxarife> peryson: can we continue now?
[04:32] <peryson> ActionParsnip, ubluntu, almoxarife, good night guys! Thanks for your time! :-) I know you're supporting 11.10 but am in the list with people who prefer 10.04 :D
[04:32] <pnorman> samrat: the sudo is only applying to the curl, not to the writing to the file. you don't need to pipe curl anyways, use curl -o mongo.tgz http://....
[04:32] <ActionParsnip> Frantic_: long click on the icon, you'll know when it's movable, then reposition it
[04:32] <peryson> almoxarife: where to continue? We can't find a solution.
[04:32] <almoxarife> peryson: we?
[04:33] <EvilResistance> pnorman:  or to make it even simpler: wget <path>
[04:33] <ActionParsnip> peryson: you're changing OS for the wrong reason. Lucid is very supported and coded for
[04:33] <almoxarife> peryson: i stopped playing when the gangbang started
[04:33] <ActionParsnip> peryson: the newer version of stuff may help
[04:33] <peryson> ActionParsnip: alright thanks.
[04:33] <peryson> almoxarife, if you have power tell me more.
[04:33] <ActionParsnip> peryson: gnome is not the only desktop in Ubuntu
[04:34] <ubluntu> almoxarife: well it seems like synaptic failed to install a useable kernel module ....
[04:34] <pnorman> EvilResistance: that command won't work with all files.
[04:34] <EvilResistance> pnorman:  in this single case, it will
[04:34] <EvilResistance> pnorman:  but you are right
[04:35] <pnorman> EvilResistance: It happens to work for mongo, but for what I download, I'd have to set up wget differently since it times out if the server doesn't respond quickly enough
[04:42] <techie1980> After upgrading to the lastest release, my gnome classic top panel is locked. I can't right click on it or move items. How do I fix this?
[04:42] <trism> techie1980: alt+right click
[04:42] <ohno> i need helps!
[04:43] <techie1980> trism: thank you!
[04:43] <dr_willis> we need details...
[04:43] <ohno> how can i run my osx install disc now???
[04:44] <dr_willis> run it where.. how is this ubuntu related?
[04:44] <ohno> im in ubuntu and cant boot up my osx install disc
[04:44] <EvilResistance> ohno:  why do you need to boot it up from within ubuntu?
[04:45] <dr_willis> you got a mac.. wanting to biit a isx dvd?
[04:45] <dr_willis> boot
[04:45] <xattab> hello
[04:45] <ohno> how do i boot from the install dvd... holding c commmand doesnt seem to be working
[04:45] <ActionParsnip> ohno: put the CD in and hold C at boot and the CD will boot, wipe out ubuntu and install mac os
[04:45] <xattab> i`m russian, new user ubuntu
[04:46] <ActionParsnip> ohno: what mac do you have
[04:46] <ActionParsnip> !ru
[04:46] <ohno> mini
[04:46] <ActionParsnip> ohno: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1533
[04:46] <ActionParsnip> ohno: i'd ask in #apple or #mac
[04:48] <Frantic_> okay so synaptic says i've installed it but i cant seem to access the program
[04:48] <dr_willis> Frantic_:  what program
[04:48] <Frantic_> lmms
[04:48] <leontopod> ok I went to the Ubuntu Software Store and installed VLC... where is the icon for it?
[04:48] <Frantic_> dr_willis:  LMMS
[04:48] <dr_willis> !info lmms
[04:49] <ActionParsnip> leontopod: search dash for it
[04:49] <ActionParsnip> leontopod: or press ALT+F2 and run: vlc
[04:49] <leontopod> so, you can search dash for anything just about?  is that the philosophy behind dash?
[04:49] <dr_willis> pin icon to panel after you run it. ;)
[04:49] <leontopod> it's the Ubuntu version of the locate command?
[04:50] <dr_willis> dash has expandable search features
[04:50] <dr_willis> via lenses
[04:50] <Frantic_> dr_willis: I cant run it, i dont know where to find it after ive installed it. This is where i am lost.
[04:50] <dr_willis> Frantic_:  no idea what lmms even is.
[04:51] <Evil_Evil_Monkey> using a mac OSX with an Ubuntu VM
[04:51] <Evil_Evil_Monkey> trying to figure out which port a USB device is plugged into, or if Ubuntu even recognized it.
[04:52] <ActionParsnip> Evil_Evil_Monkey: lsusb   will show usb devices
[04:52] <dr_willis> Frantic_:  you could use the package manager tools to see what files it installed.
[04:53] <subcool> anyone got a oldschool netgear? mines acting screwy
[04:53] <dr_willis> netgear makes a lot of things subcool
[04:53] <subcool> I have it piggybacked off my fios router, but- when i disconnect the piggy back the router acts normal. WHen i plug in the piggy back- it acts very flacky.
[04:55] <kasii> hi all
[04:55] <dr_willis> subcool:  what is 'it'  you are talking about..
[04:55] <EvilResistance> dr_willis:  <subcool> anyone got a oldschool netgear? mines acting screwy
[04:55] <subcool> When i have it piggyback'ed, manuevering through the settings pages, the pages sometimes dont establish, - but when i disconnect the network to the FIos router- all pages work perfectly find
[04:56] <subcool> haha
[04:56] <subcool> ty Evil_Evil_Monkey
[04:56] <EvilResistance> subcool:  why do you need to have a netgear router piggybacking off of a fios router?
[04:56] <subcool> ops- EvilResistance
[04:56] <EvilResistance> there's no need to have netgear equipment (especially another router) off of a FiOS router
[04:56] <subcool> EvilResistance, because fios routers are screwy aswell. And i prefer wired connections
[04:56] <EvilResistance> subcool:  FiOS routers come with 4 ethernet ports, unless they changed their standard routers
[04:57] <subcool> im connecting like 4 computers that are right next to eachother.
[04:57] <subcool> EvilResistance, its my setup- just go withit.
[04:57] <EvilResistance> 5 if you include internet in
[04:57] <EvilResistance> subcool:  i cant go with it, because its unfeasibly complex
[04:57] <EvilResistance> subcool:  if i had such a setup...
[04:57] <dr_willis> set the router to switch mode perhaps
[04:57] <subcool> unfeasilbly complex? its just a piggy back
[04:57] <EvilResistance> i'd have one cable from FiOS to a 5-port switch, then the 4 systems plugged into the other 4 spots on that switch
[04:58] <subcool> dr_willis, nah, i wont the network to be seperate
[04:58] <EvilResistance> voila, instant net expansion
[04:58] <subcool> want*
[04:58] <EvilResistance> subcool:  that's unfeasible, is what i'm trying to say, you wont get network connectivity in that manner
[04:58] <EvilResistance> just because you cant have a router piggybacking off of another router whilst being in router mode
[04:59] <dr_willis> hmm.. i thik ive done it that way.. but i set it up static ips
[04:59] <subcool> I have network connectivity- its just that the router itself is acting screwy when navigating
[04:59] <subcool> dr_willis, i've done it before too, this isnt new to me.. i just dont get why its acting up
[04:59] <dr_willis> screwy how.
[05:00] <subcool> navigating the menus on the netgear barely work. pages wont show, some will load and then wont save..
[05:00] <subcool> but its ONLY when the two are connected.
[05:00] <dr_willis> you mean the netgear settings pages?
[05:00] <subcool> once i disconnect the piggyback, it works fine
[05:00] <subcool> yes
[05:01] <EvilResistance> conflicting IPs on the same network? (fios: 192.168.1.1, netgear: 192.168.1.1, perhaps)
[05:01] <subcool> ya, i already changed it
[05:03] <Evil_Evil_Monkey> ActionParsnip: what isusb
[05:03] <Evil_Evil_Monkey> what's*
[05:03] <jameslordhz> hi all
[05:03] <ActionParsnip> Evil_Evil_Monkey: its LSUSB   in lower case
[05:03] <jameslordhz> is there any shell utility which can make work more efficiency?
[05:03] <ActionParsnip> Evil_Evil_Monkey: its a terminal command
[05:04] <Evil_Evil_Monkey> ActionParsnip: ah okay
[05:04] <ActionParsnip> jameslordhz: in what way?
[05:04] <dr_willis> jameslordhz:  be more specific
[05:04] <dr_willis> !info mc | jameslordhz
[05:04] <jameslordhz> konsole is powerful, but the name mechanism is not that nice
[05:05] <dr_willis> jameslordhz:  name mechanism?
[05:05] <gh0zt> I'm windows user want to migrate to linux, I was always playing with coreldraw, what distribution fit with me?
[05:05] <ActionParsnip> guake is badass :)
[05:05] <ActionParsnip> or yakuake in kde
[05:05] <cconyxrev> hey guys!  I'm having a bit of an issue with an ubuntu server accessing https sites on the backend
[05:06] <jameslordhz> i need a shell utility that have many tabs in a window, so i can open windows for program, systemMonit, and remote, then i can find the working shell convinently
[05:06] <cconyxrev> I'm getting SSL errors: "Problem with the SSL CA cert (path? access rights?)"
[05:06] <robbbie> jameslordhz: use screen
[05:06] <cconyxrev> seems to me like maybe the certs aren't accessible by the user running the script
[05:06] <cconyxrev> what's the package that installs those certs?
[05:06] <ja-barr> calligra is your best bet as alternative gh0zt, or check the wine db to check compability with running corel draw under wine
[05:06] <dr_willis> jameslordhz:  you  mean a 'terminal' application
[05:07] <jameslordhz> the most important is that i can change the name of tab and window, with which i can locate the shell tab easily with boring navigating each tab in order to find the tab i want
[05:07] <jameslordhz> dr_willis you are right
[05:07] <dr_willis> jameslordhz:  screen is a must learn about tool ;)
[05:07] <cconyxrev> hrm ca-certificates
[05:07] <ActionParsnip> cconyxrev: ca-certificates or ca-certificates
[05:07] <Shoogy> hey guys I got a quick question
[05:07] <ActionParsnip> Shoogy: ask away
[05:07] <Shoogy> I just installed 11.10 and dont want the new ui
[05:07] <ja-barr> or just use screen jamelordhz... byobu is good option
[05:07] <Shoogy> I want to go back to classic
[05:07] <Shoogy> how do I do that
[05:07] <ActionParsnip> Shoogy: install xfce4  and use that
[05:08] <jameslordhz> dr_willis i am using screen now, its nice when you connect remote host, and you should open lots of screen tab if you connect to lots of hosts
[05:08] <Shoogy> where do I get that
[05:08] <Shoogy> is that a distro
[05:08] <ActionParsnip> Shoogy: you'll need to log off, select xfce then log on
[05:08] <ActionParsnip> Shoogy: no its a different desktop
[05:08] <cconyxrev> yay! a dpkg-reconfigure ca-certificates did the trick
[05:08] <Shoogy> so it is an addon
[05:08] <Shoogy> where do I get that
[05:08] <jameslordhz> so you need a window named remote to include all the tab which are running screen program
[05:08] <ActionParsnip> Shoogy: in a terminal run:  sudo apt-get udpate; sudo apt-get install xfce4
[05:09] <jameslordhz> maybe i should get the source code of Konsole, and modify it.
[05:09] <gh0zt> I'm windows user want to migrate to linux, I was always playing with coreldraw, what distribution fit with me? please
[05:09] <jameslordhz> seems a bit crazy, but i want a tool more easier to use:)
[05:11] <Evil_Evil_Monkey> trying to use minicom with a usb>serial adapter. I can't figure out what to set my path to in minicom.
[05:11] <ActionParsnip> Shoogy: there is also a way to mak Gnome3 look like Gnome2 here: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/12/how-to-make-ubuntu-11-10-look-and-feel-like-gnome-2/
[05:12] <Shoogy> see mine did not even give me a choice for gnome classic
[05:12] <Shoogy> just ubutnu  and ubuntu 2d
[05:14] <possible1994> Bluetooth headset functionality does not work. It connects, but selecting it in Pulse does not work ie., no input functionality, no audio out functionality
[05:14] <possible1994> What oh what can I do? I've tried updating to the latest compat-wireless from git to no avail.
[05:15] <leontopod> is there any way to get a more traditional desktop, like, a setting somewhere?
[05:15] <leontopod> I want to have a task bar at the bottom of the screen and a start menu button
[05:15] <possible1994> leontopod, describe traditional
[05:15] <leontopod> I just did
[05:16] <Frantic_> ActionParsnip: hey i used synaptic to dl LMMS. Synoptic says its installed. i dont kn ow how to access it.
[05:16] <leontopod> like gnome and kde at least used to be
[05:16] <possible1994> lol, you can use the "classic" desktop, by selecting it at the login screen. That at least resembles the original.
[05:17] <possible1994> Linux Mint attempts to make gnome3 look and act like its former, and does so with mild success.
[05:17] <possible1994> Gnome3 is slow though
[05:18] <pAt__> Leontopod use xubuntu or lubuntu
[05:20] <leontopod> I can select a classic desktop at the login screen?
[05:20] <leontopod> I didn'
[05:20] <leontopod> t see that
[05:20] <leontopod> let me log out and log back in
[05:20] <possible1994> Yeah it's there
[05:20] <FloodBot1> leontopod: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:21] <leontopod> I see ubuntu and ubuntu 2d
[05:21] <leontopod> is that what you are talking about?
[05:21] <Oer> gnome2 is dead, classic is gone with 11.10, so get used to gnome3
[05:21] <leontopod> oh
[05:21] <possible1994> Classic is gone with 11.10? My mistake
[05:21] <leontopod> yes, this is 11.10, so I guess no classic ? =(
[05:21] <Shoogy> no
[05:22] <leontopod> that sucks!
[05:22] <possible1994> A lot of people migrated to mint for it's gnome2-like adaptation of gnome3.
[05:22] <edis6> exit
[05:22] <Shoogy> ok well I would like to get to gnome period all I have ubuntu and ubuntu 2d
[05:23] <Oer> well, last resort is gnome-panel
[05:23] <urlin2u> !nounity
[05:23] <Oer> indeed urlin2u
[05:24] <Shoogy> I think my install of 11.10 does not have gnome installed
[05:25] <possible1994> I've personally adapted to the changes in gnome3, and to contrary belief it can be customized well with gconf-editor
[05:27] <jameslordhz> http://paste.ubuntu.com/800213/
[05:27] <jameslordhz> why i cannot install package?
[05:27] <EvilResistance> Shoogy:  how do you figure that?
[05:27] <Shoogy> cause it does not even give me the choice to switch to gnome when I log in
[05:28] <EvilResistance> jameslordhz:  it seems that it cant verify the packages...
[05:28] <EvilResistance> jameslordhz:  are there any GPG errors when you apt-get update?
[05:29] <Oer> sudo apt-get install git-svn -y --force-yes
[05:30] <robin0800> Shoogy: gnome won't appear as an option unless you install gnome-shell or gnome-panel

[05:44] <michaelgamble> hey
[05:44] <leontopod> it should be an option
[05:44] <michaelgamble> question
[05:44] <Shoogy> I want it to look like this action http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/12/how-to-make-ubuntu-11-10-look-and-feel-like-gnome-2/

[05:45] <ActionParsnip> leontopod: its the current state of play
[05:45] <michaelgamble> is their not an easy way to manage smb afp and nfs
[05:45] <ActionParsnip> Shoogy: then  use the guide and tweak it
[05:46] <ActionParsnip> michaelgamble: I use SSH to manage samba
[05:46] <Shoogy> I am working on it and cannot find out how to change applets
[05:46] <debsan> Operaist2, hope it works.
[05:46] <juniour> Shoggy wt the prob???
[05:46] <ssfdre38> leontopod, are you trying to get the Gnome 2.x sys?
[05:46] <gh0zt> guys: which is better ubuntu 11.10 or 11.04?
[05:46] <ActionParsnip> gh0zt: 11.10 imho
[05:47] <leontopod> everyone wants to make the desktop look like a damned cellphone
[05:47] <leontopod> it's ridiculous
[05:47] <juniour> gh0zt i think best is 10.10
[05:47] <ActionParsnip> leontopod: only in Gnome
[05:47] <leontopod> I suppose Gnome will run great on pad computers
[05:47] <leontopod> that looks like where it is going
[05:47] <michaelgamble> im hoping for a gui way to manage / control file sharing easily, like the type of stuff you would see for managing commercial NAS
[05:47] <Shoogy> I am just installing 10.04
[05:48] <ssfdre38> leontopod, if you do apt-get install gnome you will get the Gnome 3.2.1
[05:48] <juniour> k
[05:48] <ssfdre38> and as well as the classic Gnome leontopod
[05:48] <emzeq> i'm running Ubuntu Server 11.04 on Linode and need to connect it to a PPTP VPN. Any ideas on how to do this?
[05:48] <juniour> Shoogy try 10.10 it is good
[05:48] <ActionParsnip> leontopod: i'd say so, yes. I use LXDE and my desktop looks like this (note no unity): http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/Desktop.png
[05:48] <Shoogy> 10.10 or 10.04 which
[05:48] <leontopod> wow, I like that ActionParsnip
[05:49] <juniour> Shoogy 10.10 is the best
[05:49] <ActionParsnip> Maverick is EOL in April this year, so I wouldn't bother
[05:49] <Shoogy> I cant find the iso for 10.10
[05:49] <juniour> 10.10 supports like every thing
[05:49] <ActionParsnip> leontopod: that is LXDE + Humanity icon theme + wallpaper. I use Lubuntu
[05:49] <michaelgamble> emzeq did you look at openvpn stuff.. i know they support pptp
[05:49] <juniour> k
[05:49] <leontopod> how can I install that LXDE painlessly, ActionParsnip ?
[05:49] <leontopod> oh, Lubuntu
[05:49] <leontopod> ok
[05:50] <ActionParsnip> leontopod: sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop
[05:50] <leontopod> that's all?
[05:50] <leontopod> !
[05:50] <juniour> Shoogy you machine 32 bit 0r 64
[05:50] <ActionParsnip> leontopod: there are nice tweaks the lubuntu-desktop package adds :)
[05:50] <Shoogy> 32
[05:50] <armada> Chipzzz: SIR U IZ TEH GENIUZZ!!
[05:50] <juniour> k
[05:50] <gh0zt> shoogy: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download
[05:50] <debsan> leontopod, it really easy to install some DE
[05:50] <emzeq> michaelgamble: just a little, thought openvpn was a VPN server.
[05:50] <michaelgamble> tunnelblick?
[05:50] <ActionParsnip> leontopod: sure, the most part is default, you can use all your Gnome apps in LXDE too
[05:50] <michaelgamble> or something like that?
[05:50] <juniour> Shoogy let me google ti to find the iso for you
[05:50] <juniour> k
[05:51] <ssfdre38> hey where is the lightgm login wallpaper located at?
[05:51] <gh0zt> shoogy: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download < iso for 111.10
[05:51] <Chipzzz> armada: ty... glad to help :)
[05:51] <michaelgamble> I'm pretty sure openvpn i think has a client component
[05:51] <leontopod> i've never had a parsnip, I think my mom made rutabagas once when I was young
[05:51] <Shoogy> dont want 11.10
[05:51] <gh0zt> I'm downloading 11.10 right now
[05:51] <Shoogy> I want gnome 2.0
[05:52] <juniour> gh0zt try 10.10
[05:52] <emzeq> michaelgamble: cool i'll dig into that some more. thanks!
[05:52] <ActionParsnip> Shoogy: its dead, the Gnome team are no longer developing it
[05:52] <michaelgamble> np
[05:52] <ssfdre38> Shoogy, do sudo apt-get install gnome and you will get the gnome classic that will have Gnome 2.x
[05:52] <michaelgamble> any suggestion on easy gui / web interface for file sharing management in ubuntu
[05:52] <juniour> Shoogy http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.10/
[05:52] <Shoogy> does not look the same
[05:52] <Shoogy> I want it to look like this
[05:52] <Shoogy> http://cdn.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/fallbackac.jpg
[05:52] <juniour> Shoogy this is the link for ubuntu 10.10 iso
[05:53] <Shoogy> Thank you
[05:54] <ActionParsnip> Shoogy: 10.10 has little over 3 months support left in it, you are wasting your time
[05:54] <Shoogy> ok
[05:54] <Shoogy> I understand this
[05:54] <ActionParsnip> Shoogy: after april you will get no more updates
[05:54] <juniour> Shoggy the pic you see can be done in ubuntu 10.10
[05:54] <juniour> Shoogy its simple
[05:54] <ActionParsnip> Shoogy: Natty (11.04) has Gnome fallback in it
[05:55] <juniour> Shoogy just install 10.10 and changr the background to that image thatis
 Shoogy: after april you will get no more updates < I thought there is 10.10 LTS
[05:56] <ActionParsnip> gh0zt: 10.04 is LTS and 12.04 is LTS. Not all releases at LTS
[05:56] <ActionParsnip> gh0zt: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases
[05:57] <Chipzzz> 12.04 is still in devel isn't it?... if so when is it due for release?
 OIC
[05:57] <juniour> ActionParsnip dont tell that you wont get update,
[05:57] <aeon-ltd> Chipzzz: april
[05:57] <Chipzzz> aeon-ltd: ty :)
[05:57] <ActionParsnip> Shoogy: you are fighting a losing battle, eventually there will be NO ubuntu using Gnome2 and it will be pure Gnome3. There may be some settings in later releases but for the forseeable future that is the way Gnome desktop is going under Ubuntu
[05:58] <aeon-ltd> Chipzzz: for future reference 12 = 2012 04 = april
[05:58] <Shoogy> I am not saying I am stuck on it
[05:58] <Shoogy> I am getting back into linux and want it to look familiar
[05:58] <Shoogy> til I move up
[05:58] <juniour> ActionParsnip you even get update for the old ubuntu like 9.10 etc
[05:58] <Chipzzz> aeon-ltd: lol... you'd think I'd have put that together by now... tnx :)
[05:58] <aeon-ltd> ActionParsnip: do you know if there is a branch of gnome in development that continues upon the style of 2?
[05:58] <ActionParsnip> juniour: they areEOL, dead
[05:59] <ActionParsnip> aeon-ltd: yes, it's called 'mate', its unofficial
[05:59] <juniour> ActionParsnip no its not
[05:59] <aeon-ltd> thank you
[06:00] <ActionParsnip> juniour: just an example: http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/
[06:00] <ActionParsnip> juniour: o Karmic
[06:00] <juniour> ActionParsnip i am even working on ubuntu 10.10
[06:00] <ActionParsnip> juniour: maverick is not EOL yet
[06:00] <ActionParsnip> juniour: http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/   no karmic there either
[06:01] <ActionParsnip> juniour: karmic is dead
[06:06] <juniour> ActionParsnip then i wil switch to 12.04lts in april
[06:06] <ActionParsnip> juniour: makes sense, I wouldn't install Oneiric now :)

[06:07] <ActionParsnip> wrektjet: you can use Unity2D from the login screen
[06:08] <wrektjet> if i mess up all the settings can i restore compiz settings i mean
[06:08] <ActionParsnip> wrektjet: yeah use Unity2D and the compiz settings won't be used so can be reset
[06:09] <wrektjet> ActionParsnip, thnx ill see what happens
[06:09] <veganadian> you should be able to remove a dot file of sort.

[06:40] <Evil_Evil_Monkey> does guest additions need to be installed for each machine?
[06:40] <Evil_Evil_Monkey> i don't think i've installed it yet
[06:40] <juniour>  Evil_Evil_Monkey yep?
[06:40] <Evil_Evil_Monkey> let me try that first
[06:40] <nil> Is there some way to know how to edit konqueror4.7 to work like the kde3.5?
[06:42] <ts2> nil: what exactly do you mean?
[06:43] <nil> ts2 : in the old version of konqueror it could view photos in pop-ups and preview audio only with a mouse over the file
[06:44] <dariushall21> For some reason, I can't press 2 buttons at once when playing minecraft, like mousing while walking, it's extremely irritating.
[06:44] <ts2> nil: use dolphin, that's the file manager
[06:45] <nil> Now it's badts2:
[06:45] <nil> I like the old konqueror
[06:45] <nil> Dolphin is terrible.
[06:46] <ts2> nil: konqueror actually uses dolphin to display the files etc, so even if you use konqueror, you _are_ using dolphin
[06:46] <nil> I'm trying to adapt to the new KDE, but it's impossible.
[06:46] <adfjal3> hello?
[06:46] <nil> so, how to configure Dolphin?
[06:47] <ts2> nil: just open dolphin and use the information panel, it shows previews and can play most audio files by default
[06:47] <adfjal3> I have a stupid ubuntu 9.04 problem that's probably retardedly easy......how do i update the source.list so i can install mysql?
[06:47] <nil> I know how to use dolphin, but i liked the old type.
[06:48] <nil> mouse over never more.
[06:48] <flintwingel> nil: look for the spanner icon in the top right corner of the dolphin window
[06:48] <debsan> adfjal3, I don't know what do you have in the sources.list but you don't have to update it
[06:49] <ts2> adfjal3: 9.04 is no longer supported, you should consider upgrading to a newer release
[06:49] <joshwines> nil: I love dolphin :)
[06:49] <adfjal3> I'm using a tonidoplug, will upgrading above 9.04 mess it up?
[06:50] <adfjal3> tonidoplug is like a sheevaplug
[06:50] <nil> I like the pop-ups.It could get me the picture without open.
[06:51] <nil> mouse over to preview was better then the sidebar.
[06:51] <aBound> I'd suggest upgrading to at least 10.04 LTS or 11.10.
[06:52] <adfjal3> what would I enter in ssh to upgrade?
[06:53] <nil> You were able to listen the music without click to play.
[06:53] <sala> hi, anyone can help with svn?
[06:53] <Transisto> I've a question, ... How do we kill that stupid sidebar ???  Hint : Without reading a 4 page long step by step guide.
[06:53] <robbyt> Hi All, I'm having some problems with apparmor and mysql on an EC2 box- I updated the apparmor profile for mysql because I moved the datadirectory, I even rebooted, but apparmor still blocks access to the new data directory
[06:53] <robbyt> I'm running 10.04
[06:54] <aBound> Not too familiar with apparmor.
[06:54] <sala> hi, i have two repos, i'm currently svnadmin load to repoA, can i do svnadmin load to repoB concurrently?
[06:55] <ts2> adfjal3: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades/Jaunty and make sure you have "Prompt=normal" in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades
[06:55] <robbyt> aBound: it's great, until it isn't.
[06:55] <adfjal3> ts2: thank you
[06:55] <aBound> robbyt, Probably is I'm sure SELinux is more complicated. hehe
[06:55] <nil> I'm so sorry, but I will get the old function in Konqueror to the new Dolphin.you willse.
[06:55] <iToast> Hi
[06:55] <iToast> Im installing ubuntu server 11.10
[06:56] <nil> ts2: Do you get the code to compile?
[06:56] <ts2> nil: compile what?
[06:57] <nil> The function to Dolphin.
[06:57] <SigmaWP> What does /tmp/ mean, and what happens to stuff inside it?
[06:57]  * SigmaWP is a noob, sorry
[06:57] <nil> Pop-ups
[06:57] <nil> mouse over
[06:57] <nil> Today we have this to websites, why not to file managers?
[06:58] <urlin2u> Transisto, you can install the compizconfig manager and tweak it there.
[06:58] <aBound> robbyt, How'd you go about grasping AppArmor?
 Temporary files
[06:58] <ts2> nil: that functionality does not exist, use the information panel
[06:58] <SigmaWP> Ah, thanks
[06:58] <urlin2u> !AppArmor
[06:58] <Mikey_> Hey, I am a newb and need help with APACHE2 on my Ubuntu Server for a class of mine. I am running ubuntu 10.04.3 inside virtualbox. It has LAMP installed. What I am trying to do, is allow a user their own webpage.
[06:58] <Slart> !fhs | SigmaWP
[06:59] <nil> ts2: But existed.
[06:59] <nil> So it will be able to work again.
[06:59] <ts2> nil: in another piece of software, KDE 4.x has little to do with KDE 3.x
[06:59] <robbyt> aBound: Apparmor is automatically setup on ubuntu-server, so when you do apt-get install mysql, it gets setup for you
[06:59] <aBound> Ahh...
[07:00] <sala> !svn
[07:00] <flintwingel> Mikey_: does this help http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/howto/public_html.html
[07:00] <nil> I mixed functions in window$, so i can do the same in linux, I know.Its only time question.
 I'll try to see the sorce and edit then.
[07:01] <somsip> Mikey_: what is your specifc question?
[07:01] <ts2> Mikey_: usually "sudo a2enmod userdir", and then "sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart" should do it
[07:01] <nil> I edited the Kffeine to work like I want.
[07:01] <ts2> nil: you don't just need to edit it, you'll need to rewrite it
[07:01] <robbyt> !puppet
[07:02] <nil> Yes sir .That's it.
[07:02] <Mikey_> I need to be able to on my host operating system be able to go to http://localhost:8888/ and http://localhost:8888/~cbranco/
[07:02] <nil> Dcop could do this to me.
[07:03] <Mikey_> I have all the port forwarding set up with Virtualbox
[07:03] <ts2> nil: DCOP no longer exists
 So changing  the question.Do you know how to configure PCI in virtualbox?
[07:04] <Mikey_> I have all of it set up
[07:04] <somsip> Mikey_: This should help: http://www.techytalk.info/enable-userdir-apache-module-ubuntu-debian-based-linux-distributions/
[07:04] <nil> Dcop exists, i use to configure commands.
[07:04] <ts2> nil: I don't really use virtualbox, no
[07:04] <ts2> nil: DCOP was used only in KDE3 applications, never in KDE 4.x
[07:04] <nil> I use in kde4
[07:04] <Mikey_> But getting http://localhost:8888/~cbranco/ to pull up the index.html file within the public_html folder in that users directory.
[07:05] <nil> My KDE 4 was upgraded from Debian lenny to Ubuntu Oineric
[07:05] <iToast> Hey
[07:05] <nil> And I use dcop every day.
[07:05] <iToast> Whats apaches default chmod on /var/www
[07:05] <overclucker> 3huh?
[07:05] <overclucker> lenny to oneric?
[07:05] <ts2> nil: that has nothing to do with it using DCOP or not, it's something built-in to applications and no KDE 4.x application uses DCOP, they all use DBus
[07:06] <somsip> iToast: root:www-data 770
[07:06] <nil> I'm using dcop.And works fine.
 Yes lenny to oneric
[07:07] <ts2> nil: you may use it with KDE 3.x applications, but not with 4.x, this is not an opinion, this is a fact
[07:08] <nil> I use Kaffeine 0.8.7 in KDE 4.7 and configured keyboard to work multimedia functions whit this, even minimized or not.
[07:08] <iToast> how do i reinstall
[07:08] <iToast> apache + php+mysql...
[07:09] <ts2> nil: that's because that version *is* KDE 3.x version, not the KDE 4.x version
[07:10] <nil> tst : See this and translate.I've made .http://www.vivaolinux.com.br/dica/Reinstalando-Linux-sem-fazer-backup-ou-formatacao-no-KDE/
[07:10] <nil> by my self
[07:11] <nil> ts2: I use the new version of KDE.Kubuntu oineric 11.10.
[07:11] <nil> I have installed kpackage.
[07:11] <ts2> nil: that has nothing to do with what version of kaffeine you are using, and 0.8.7 is the KDE 3.x version
[07:11] <ts2> nil: it ported to KDE 4.x in 1.0
[07:12] <wjlafrance> you're running a KDE 3 app on KDE 4, and that's why you can use dcop
[07:12] <nil> Forget about it.
[07:12] <nil> Is only compilations.
[07:12] <nil> Maybe time to work and make work.
[07:13] <DragonSlay> !who
 Yes I am using kde 3.x in kde 4.x.
[07:14] <nil> ts2.Good to talk with you.I'm gone .Bye and thank you for the attention.
[07:20] <Mikey_> Ok I am trying to do what is exactly on this website http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/howto/public_html.html I just do not know how to do that. I'm just not used to using straight command line, and the GUI I installed keeps causing crashes.
[07:23] <ts2> Mikey_: usually "sudo a2enmod userdir", and then "sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart" should do it
[07:23] <Mikey_> Thanks ts2
[07:25] <Mikey_> one more question, any suggestions on how to remove the GUI that keeps crashing when I use it?
[07:26] <ts2> Mikey_: what GUI?
[07:26] <Mikey_> lemme check, I think it was Kubuntu desktop.
[07:29] <Mikey_> It is Kubuntu Desktop I installed by typing in sudo tasksel
[07:30] <ts2> Mikey_: you can probably just "sudo apt-get audoremove kdelibs5" to remove all of Kubuntu
[07:31] <Jef91> Anyone know what packages the ncurses based installer for Ubuntu is contained in?
[07:31] <sakur> hello ppl
[07:32] <Flannel> Jef91: debian-installer
[07:33] <Jef91> Thanks Flannel!
[07:33] <sakur> my openGL is not running, anybody knows the packet name on oneiric?
[07:33] <Mikey_> Again, thanks ts2. Been fighting with this assignment all weekend. Could not get it to go at all.
[07:36] <vagvaf> is there any way to fix network-manager from crashing on shutdown ?
[07:37] <morsik> hi, it's possible to move windows on unity like on awesome? somethingl ike: [Ctrl]+LeftMouseBtn
[07:37] <morsik> or right...
[07:37] <Mikey_> ts2, it did not remove kubuntu and now the site is not working. So I am going to just make a new virtual machine and set it up again.
[07:37] <morsik> Alt+LeftMouse moves window, but what about resizing?
[07:45] <Jef91> hey flannel the package debian-installer only seems to contain docs on the debian installer
[07:45] <Jef91> not the installer itself
[07:47] <sholsapp> So, I asked a while ago and tracked down a linking guru in #stackoverflow (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8814707/shared-library-mysteriously-doesnt-get-linked-to-application)
[07:47] <sholsapp> just fyi - Ubuntu killed me on this one ;)
[07:48] <sholsapp> Especially the "In the latest version of Ubuntu, ld uses --as-needed by default. What that does is to remove references to libraries that are not explicitly required."
[07:48] <sholsapp> Bahhh =)
[07:48] <Humbedooh> ^^
[07:49] <ts2> sholsapp: always read release notes...
[07:49] <sholsapp> ts2: O_O lesson learned
[07:52] <CarlFK> how do I enable nat between 2 interfaces?   I thought there was a 'share me' kinda option in network manager

[07:54] <auronandace> !undelete | blinkiz
[07:54] <CarlFK> blinkiz: yeah, what I gave is more about disk fialure

[08:32] <g[r]eek> Hi. My networking is not working. If i type ifconfig, I can see both wlan0 and eth0 details. However when I plug my laptop using a CAT5 cable into my router, I can't ping it, it says "Destination host unreachable". Also, my wireless light on my laptop is on, but I don't see any wireless networks on my connections (whereas there are meant to be several showing up). Yesterday this all worked fine and I really have no clue what's wrong. The router is working
[08:32] <g[r]eek>  perfectly (other computers are plugged into it, communicating together etc).
[08:38] <g[r]eek> Basically there is no connection, and I don't know why.
[08:39] <stimpie> Is there a recommended set of items (disk,mem, etc..) to monitor an ubuntu server and which tool to use to retrieve the information?
[08:40] <llutz_> !info munin | stimpie: munin may do that for you
[08:41] <sl00> Hi. The network monitor tool constantly shows packets being received/sent. I have turned off almost everything I can think of and "lsof | grep IP" only shows dhclient now but it is still receving/sending.
[08:41] <sl00> I am now runngin Wireshark and I get something from a source IP on port 11777 to my port 53595 all the time. What is that?
[08:43] <pPByPbkWVjQuy> ^_____^
[08:43] <AvZYnXNXFIAk> ^_____^
[08:43] <Mikey_> ts2: thanks for the help, its working awesomely now.
[08:44] <Mikey_> Or at least well enough to pass the assignment.
[08:44] <stimpie> llutz, thanks
[08:45] <g[r]eek> Hi fellas. I have a networking issue. Yesterday everything was working fine. Today, I boot up my laptop, and I can't ping my router (other laptops are connecting to it just fine). Also, none of my wireless connections are showing up on my list of available connections (there are meant to be 4). If I type 'ifconfig' I get all the standard output for eth0 and wlan0, and they're both configured correctly in /etc/networking/interfaces. Any idea what gives?
[08:46] <ssfdre38> when ever i do apt-get update i always get this error http://paste.ssfdre38.com/34 why?
[08:46] <ssfdre38> or how can i update the keys
[08:48] <ts2> ssfdre38: "sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys F9CB8DB0" should get the key
[08:50] <ssfdre38> that one key held up all my updates
[08:52] <Starminn> So... in Ubuntu 11.10 w/ Unity, Chromium and Firefox will not play YouTube videos. Only Opera will. Suggestions?
[08:52] <Humbedooh> starminn, Gnash or Flash?
[08:53] <Humbedooh> as in, which flash player do you have installed (I'm assuming youtube still uses flash)
[08:54] <Starminn> Oh. Yeah.
[08:54] <Humbedooh> if you're using Gnash, try removing it and installing the proprietary Flash plugin instead and see if it'll do the trick
[08:56] <Starminn> Humbedooh, Whatever's default. It use to work, now I don't know why it won't work all of a sudden. HTML5 YouTube works, but not Flash
[08:57] <Humbedooh> I believe Gnash is the default today
[08:57] <Humbedooh> and I've personally had nothing but trouble with it
[08:58] <ketan> hii Friends this is ketan from india.
[08:58] <ts2> Humbedooh: adobe flags is the default still
[08:58] <ts2> *flash
[08:59] <Humbedooh> well then someone installed gnash on my system while I was sleeping :C
[08:59] <Starminn> Humbedooh, Just checked and I don't have Gnash installed. And besides, doesn't Chromium ship with its own version of Flash? I know it used to anyway
[08:59] <ts2> Humbedooh: gnash is in universe, so it's can't be default
[09:00] <ts2> Starminn: Google Chrome has its own version, not Chromium
[09:00] <Starminn> ts2, Aha, I see.
[09:01] <Starminn> ts2, I have the Adobe Flash Plugin for Mozilla installed, but not plain Flash -- would installing plain Flash be beneficial, then? It's just odd because I've not installed/removed anything and it stopped working
[09:01] <sgo11> hi, I have changed grub/plymouth/lightdm background image. everything works fine except the default purple ubuntu background color still appears for very little time such as 0.1 second somewhere. why? and how to remove that default ubuntu background color entirely? thanks.
[09:01] <ts2> Starminn: make sure you have flashplugin-installer installed, other than that flash issues are rather hard to fix
[09:01] <Starminn> ts2, Yeah, that's the one I'm talking about that's already installed
[09:15] <mylisto> so I accidentally deleted some mpgs last night that I need...
[09:15] <mylisto> how can I recover them?

[09:15] <mylisto> theadmin: I used it already...
[09:15] <theadmin> mylisto: Well, then, you don't have much of a chance if that didn't work
[09:15] <mylisto> is there any way to specify what files to look for/recover?

[09:35] <jongbergs> !topic
[09:36] <geirha> fr-z: Mapped via gnome? If so, the application needs gvfs integration in order to see the mount. It is still accesible without though; there's a hidden folder named ".gvfs" in your home folder where those can be accessed.
[09:37] <qubits> theadmin:
[09:37] <jongbergs> ravn2: you can check openprinting.org for various intructions to specific printers

[09:41] <fr-z> thank you geirha. Yes via gnome 2. how can i make the integration of each software?
[09:41] <theadmin> jongbergs: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/175777
[09:41] <theadmin> fr-z: You need to look at stuff under $HOME/.gvfs
[09:41] <theadmin> fr-z: GNOME mounts things there
[09:41] <fr-z> yes they are there
[09:41] <theadmin> qubits: Sorry, no, uhhh... "allow"? Nothing is blocked by default...
[09:42] <fr-z> and i can see them in nautilus aswell
[09:42] <qubits> i have a fw set
[09:42] <qubits> tis a bit wonky
[09:42] <fr-z> the problem is thar when i press on several applications they are not there
[09:42] <llutz_> jongbergs: if you don't like canonical ideas, edit /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf
[09:42] <jongbergs> theadmin: ok i did check that already. it seems that it's now deprecated..thanks
[09:42] <jongbergs> llutz_: i'll check that..
[09:43] <theadmin> fr-z: The .gvfs folder is always there, it's just hidden. In most apps, Ctrl-H or Alt-. will show hidden files
[09:43] <geirha> fr-z: You'll have to send in a bug report for each application, requesting this feature. They may not necessarily want to add it though.
[09:44] <warfaren> ok i've got a stupid problem here. installed ubuntu dual boot on a laptop with windows 7 on it. now the battery ran out at the wrong time and windows doesn't boot anymore. ubuntu refuses to check it for errors because it's not clean and i can't run windows to run chkdsk. also my windows install DVD doesn't find the hard drive even though i provide it with the correct driver!

[09:50] <fr-z> the admin and geirha thank you for the help. :)
[09:50] <theadmin> warfaren: I see... Ugh, sounds like a mess to me, I dunno what to do with that. Might want to delete the NTFS partition altogether if possible and recreate it... idk
[09:52] <warfaren> theadmin: yay... :( well do you think the hard drive will be found by my windows install disc if i remove all the partitons? because i don't understand, it's like it doesn't even find the physical harddrive. and it should be the correct driver (i got the exact driver for the chipset lspci told me it was)
[09:53] <jongbergs> warfaren: can you try booting off from win7 dvd installer and choose repair options there. this is probably an off-topic here. :)
[09:53] <theadmin> warfaren: I had a similar problem when Windows wouldn't find a drive with a messed up partition table even though the drive was working :/
[09:54] <warfaren> jongbergs: that's what i do but it doesn't find my hard drive. i provided it with the correct driver for my sata controller
[09:54] <theadmin> warfaren: I did: sudo fdisk /dev/sdz <<< "o" to remove all partitions, and it worked thereafter (replace "/dev/sdz" with your drive)
[09:54] <warfaren> theadmin: okay i'll do that if i can't work it out any other way. thanks

[10:12] <skypent> somsip; i'll give it a check
[10:13] <iceroot> skypent: so if you type google.com you are redirected to your webserver?
[10:13] <llutz_> skypent: your webserver = localhost 127.0.0.1?
[10:13] <skypent> iceroot: no; one specific site. but i seem to be the only one with the issue; brb checking error.log
[10:13] <leontopod> google.com went dark for sopa!
[10:13] <iceroot> skypent: a site you are hosting?
[10:14] <iceroot> skypent: please post usefull details all in one line, it makes support much easier and we dont habe to guess :)
[10:14] <iceroot> have
[10:14] <llutz_> skypent: if yes, grep thatspecificsitename /etc/hosts
[10:15] <somsip> skypent: for example, I map a lot of ad sites to localhost in /etc/hosts so I get lots of redirects.

[10:16] <patbr0wn> Yes :)
[10:16] <patbr0wn> currently chatting is irssi
[10:16] <iceroot> patbr0wn: but i would say mutt the the (cli) client which sucks less
[10:16] <skypent> iceroot; is there a specific site i could paste all the information i know about this issue for easier reading and less cluttering of the channel?
[10:17] <iceroot> skypent: not really, to much read is not good. short and usefull infos are good :)
[10:17] <iceroot> skypent: /etc/hosts is a good start to see if you set there something

[10:32] <somsip> skypent: what is the URL of the site you try to access
[10:32] <r4vn> Hello. I downloaded my printer driver. and trying press on install.sh but nothing happens
[10:32] <llutz_> skypent: what is the sitename you cannot access? take a part of that name and grep /etc/hosts for
[10:32] <__godhelpme> I'm having problems installing ubuntu from usb
[10:33] <LjL> r4vn: most printer drivers are already included with Ubuntu, are you sure you need to install a blob like that in the first place? what printer is it?
[10:33] <skypent> somsip; llutz; http://845145127.com/; it's part of some weird arg or something.  i was browsing it fine earlier today.  right now if you visit you should be looking at a blank screen, but that's what is supposed to be there.
[10:33] <r4vn> scx-3205w
[10:34] <r4vn> yea.. couse when i pluged in it shows that cant find drivers.. and it even doesnt work for me ;?
[10:34] <llutz_> "845145127.com. 14400 IN A 127.0.0.1"
[10:35] <llutz_> interesting
[10:35] <skypent> llutz_ what does that mean?
[10:35] <LjL> r4vn: ugh, that particular printer does seem like a nightmare to install. anyway start install.sh from the terminal, not from the desktop.
[10:35] <somsip> llutz_: so someones amended the A record to point to localhost?
[10:35] <llutz_> skypent: thats dig answer (dns) for that hostname, it resolves to localhost
[10:36] <skypent> llutz_ does it go to your localhost as well?
[10:36] <llutz_> skypent: it will resolve to everybodies localhost, because thats what the dns tells
[10:36] <brahmana> hi all
[10:37] <r4vn> LjL, it shows error: root privilegies requared, something like this
[10:37] <brahmana> I am running Ubuntu 10.04.1 (LTS) as a guest operating system in VMWare. The host OS is Windows 7
[10:37] <LjL> r4vn: then start it with "sudo"
[10:37] <__godhelpme> I'm having problems installing ubuntu from usb it find or mount from cdrom
[10:37] <r4vn> LjL, what is sudo?
[10:37] <r4vn> program?
[10:37] <LjL> !sudo | r4vn
[10:37] <skypent> llutz_ so anyone visiting that site is looking at their localhost, and if they don't have a /www they just see a default page?
[10:38] <brahmana> Everything was fine when I shut down the system yesterday, but today the ubuntu guest is not able to connecte to the network.
[10:38] <LjL> r4vn: "sudo install.sh" will let you execute it as root.
[10:38] <brahmana> It just bails out. Where can I look for more information?
[10:38] <llutz_> skypent: basically yes, ask "TtoMIY@PRIVACYPOST.COM" why that is  or better think about why you mean to access that site
[10:39] <skypent> somsip; llutz; nevermind, i can just go to the site through its ip.  thank you for the help!! you guys rock
[10:39] <llutz_> skypent: you cannot go to _that site_ through ip, because the ip is 127.0.0.1
[10:39] <skypent> llutz_ it's a big riddle full of different stuff, people working on it.  i was just wondering why the main site redirected to my index.html.
[10:40] <quiescens> mm
[10:40] <skypent> llutz; the ip is http://75.119.203.244/; someone grabbed it before they did that localhost thing.
[10:40] <llutz_> skypent: ah ok

[10:42] <VictorCL> hi after the update to firefox 9 .. firefox keeps crushing .. now is useless  ... any solution?
[10:43] <__godhelpme> can someone help me install ubuntu
[10:43] <dirghrab4dia> wait for the next update I guess, use any alternatives
[10:44] <zgr> while startx I see error: failed to load fglrx, I've never tried to install it on this machine, why this happens?
[10:44] <dirghrab4dia> what kind on installation are we looking at?
[10:45] <r4vn> LjL, sry, but i dont know how to use sudo :/
[10:45] <LjL> r4vn: err, i just told you, just type "sudo install.sh"
[10:45] <dirgh> sudo basically gives you the right as a super-user
[10:45] <r4vn> LjL where to type?
[10:45] <LjL> r4vn: in the terminal.
[10:45] <dirgh> yes
[10:45] <dirgh> in the terminal
[10:46] <dirgh> followed by your login password
[10:46] <r4vn> it shows: sudo: install.sh: command not found
[10:46] <quiescens> i was going to mention that wouldn't have worked
[10:46] <LjL> r4vn: you need to go to the directory where you downloaded install.sh first.
[10:47] <LjL> r4vn: anyway this is going to be very complicated i suspect, just installing that won't work according to the forums i'm reading.
[10:47] <quiescens> it still won't work because sudo isn't going to run something from the current directory without the part explicitly set
[10:47] <__godhelpme> dirgh, I can't install it says can't mount cd
[10:47] <quiescens> path even
[10:48] <dirgh> it would be best if you check the md5sum of the iso file
[10:48] <__godhelpme> dirgh, I am installing from usb
[10:48] <dirgh> then change the boot order, choose CD as the first device
[10:48] <dirgh> oh
[10:48] <r4vn> so what should i do? LjL, maybe ill try to install first
[10:48] <r4vn> how to go to that directory?
[10:49] <token-simon> hi here
[10:49] <LjL> r4vn: "cd ~/Downloads" or whatever the relevant directory is
[10:49] <LjL> r4vn: but as quiescens says, you'll need to type something like "sudo bash install.sh" instead, my bad
[10:49] <dirgh> I have never tried from a USB, but I believe it should have a similar set of instructions on ubuntu.com
[10:49] <dirgh> especially on how to make the USB
[10:50] <dirgh> browse to the particular directory, then right-click and open a terminal
[10:51] <__godhelpme> dirgh, you would think but i can't find it and i did fallow the guide that they have on the download page
[10:52] <dirgh> you need to boot it from the USB, are you doing that?
[10:52] <__godhelpme> dirgh, yes
[10:52] <r4vn> yea. i am installing now :)
[10:53] <dirgh> I need more details on the error
[10:53] <dirgh> or what happens when you boot from that USB
[10:54] <DragonSlay> dirgh, just boot
[10:54] <__godhelpme> dirgh, during the install process when it goes to find and mount the cd drive to grab the files thats where it has the error
[10:55] <dirgh> the only thing I can think of is making the USB correctly, format it, and re-try it again maybe
[10:56] <dirgh> it might be an issue with your USB, or the way you created it
[10:57] <__godhelpme> dirgh, it's not the way i created it i know that
[10:58] <__godhelpme> dirgh, i guess i will try to recreate it
[10:58] <Serse> ciao
[10:58] <__godhelpme> dirgh, i'll be back if it dont work
[10:59] <Serse> *giochi wii
[11:00] <diverdude> How do i remove a package which i compiled and installed using sudo make install?
[11:02] <LjL> diverdude: sudo make uninstall, if they were so kind as to provide that option. otherwise, tough beans.
[11:02] <igasha> всем привет
[11:02] <LjL> !ru
[11:03] <diverdude> LjL: i get: make: *** No rule to make target `uninstall'.  Stop.
[11:03] <LjL> diverdude: then they didn't provide the option. you will need to find and remove the files manually. this is why sticking to packages is recommended.
[11:04] <diverdude> LjL: problem is that ubuntu packages tend to be a bit older
[11:04] <LjL> diverdude: which often means more stable. anyway next time, at least consider using "checkinstall"
[11:05] <diverdude> LjL: i didnt know there was such an option...anyway its ruby...im sure there is some way of uninstalling
[11:05] <LjL> diverdude: you installed ruby from source...? good luck.
[11:06] <afidegnum> hello good morning all, I have installed ssl-cert as directed on http://pkgs.org/ubuntu-11.10/ubuntu-main-i386/ssl-cert_1.0.28_all.deb.html but how do get the ssl keys?
[11:06] <LjL> diverdude: installing things like programming languages and libraries like that is a very bad idea. often, packages in ubuntu depend on a specific version of them, and they will break with your manually installed ones.
[11:07] <LjL> diverdude: what i would try doing is reinstall using checkinstall, and then use the output to find out what files to remove.
[11:07] <afidegnum> in fact, the ssl encryption key filepath, that is what I am being asked
[11:07] <afidegnum> where do I locate it ?
[11:10] <diverdude> LjL: so i do sudo make checkinstall ?
[11:10] <afidegnum> any answer pls ?
[11:10] <LjL> diverdude: no "sudo checkinstall"
[11:10] <LjL> diverdude: after installing checkinstall, that is
[11:11] <branant> How to change the repository mirror? I am running Ubuntu server 11.10.

[11:11] <diverdude> doc
[11:12] <diverdude> where can i find that?
[11:12] <LjL> diverdude: checkinstall creates a (non-standard) .deb package for your program. try uninstalling that package first, apt-get remove ruby or whatever it has called it
[11:13] <woozly> how to killall by procname?
[11:13] <DoctorD> i disabled the menu bar in Konversation..how can i see it again ?
[11:14] <diverdude> LjL: what about : dpkg -r ruby-1.9.2
[11:14] <diverdude> LjL: it suggests that
[11:14] <LjL> diverdude: same difference
[11:14] <diverdude> ok..ill do that
[11:14] <branant> woozly: run "top" and get the process name from there
[11:14] <DoctorD> i disabled the menu bar in Konversation..how can i see it again ?
[11:15] <LjL> DoctorD: i think Alt+M
[11:15] <DoctorD> Ljl: Ctrl + M. thanks ^_^
[11:15] <diverdude> LjL: its still 1.9.2 :S
[11:15] <LjL> diverdude: you mean apt-cache policy ruby says 1.9.2?
[11:15] <__godhelpme> ljl, could you help me install from usb
[11:16] <diverdude> LjL: no ruby --version
[11:16] <LjL> diverdude: what does apt-cache policy ruby say now though
[11:16] <LjL> __godhelpme: how have you gone towards doing it? i usually use unetbootin
[11:16] <woozly> branant, I mean automatically
[11:16] <woozly> branant, with one command
[11:16] <LjL> woozly: killall does accept a name
[11:17] <diverdude> LjL: also 1.9.2
[11:17] <diverdude> LjL: no wait
[11:17] <__godhelpme> ljl, universal usb installer from pendrivelinux.com
[11:17] <LjL> __godhelpme: dunno, i'd try with unetbootin
[11:18] <diverdude> LjL: it says this: http://pastebin.com/4dkicQzS
[11:18] <DoctorD> how can i make in Konversation all the tabs channel to see it in "tree mode" like you do it in xChat for example..
[11:18] <branant> woozly: ok, so killall [option] [process name]
[11:18] <__godhelpme> ljl, k will try
[11:18] <LjL> diverdude: ok that just means you [also] have the Ubuntu package installed. what does "which ruby" say?
[11:19] <diverdude> LjL: that says: /usr/local/bin/ruby
[11:21] <diverdude> LjL: so i have both packs installed...hmm so i need to remove the 1.9.2 somehow
[11:22] <LjL> diverdude: the 1.9.2 package is probably *not* installed at this point, but you still have the files. to make sure, type "dpkg -S /usr/local/bin/ruby", it should say it belongs to no package
[11:22] <LjL> diverdude: right now i'm trying to find out how to list the files contained in a package, because i don't remember, short of extracting the package and seeing (which is a viable option but)
[11:23] <LjL> diverdude: oh here we go, it's "dpkg --contents filename.deb"
[11:23] <amin> Hey Babies !!!
[11:23] <diverdude>  LjL: hmmm it says: dpkg: /usr/local/bin/ruby not found.
[11:24] <diverdude> LjL: but the file is in that location when i ls it
[11:24] <LjL> diverdude: that's ok, it's just saying that it cannot find a package to which it belongs
[11:24] <diverdude> oh yes okay
[11:24] <LjL> diverdude: now try the dpkg --contents command on the .deb file created. that will list all the files it contains, and then you can remove them
[11:24] <diverdude> so..filename.deb is what ?
[11:24] <diverdude> ahh

[11:55] <auronandace> ravn2: no idea what that is, but to run scripts put a ./ infront
[11:56] <damien__> did someone get Authentec fingerprint working on oneiric ?
[11:56] <auronandace> ravn2: some scripts might need to be run as sudo (make sure you trust the script before running it): sudo ./nameofscript
[11:57] <ravn2> yea... but after sudo i should write something like bush
[11:57] <auronandace> ravn2: do you mean bash? usually no
[11:57] <ravn2> yea bash
[11:58] <auronandace> ravn2: most scripts have a shebang in them that tells the system to use a certain shell
[11:58] <ravn2> why no?

[12:34] <wincide> hi, i cannot write into a vol /almacen i've on my new 11.10 ubuntu. I've changed fstab with defaults,rw,user,auto parameters , and after a  mount -o remount /almacen , log shows this  EXT4-fs (sda4): re-mounted. Opts: (null)
[12:34] <wincide>  
[12:34] <llutz_> wincide: check permissions, use chown/chmod to adjust. unix-fs like ext-fs don't use mount-options for this
[12:35] <__godhelpme> i need help installing ubuntu with raid
[12:37] <eutheria> does anyone else have an issue with the skype:i386 package going nuts eating all the ram and then crashing out?
[12:37] <wincide> llutz, permissions are 775 , enough for this issues. My question refers mainly to fstab because is not working properly according to Opts (null) although i've specified rw  ( EXT4-fs (sda4): re-mounted. Opts: (null)  )
[12:37] <loxs> folks, I try to change the max open files limit in /etc/security/limits.conf but nothing changes (even after reboot). Basically I add this to the end of the file:  riak soft nofile 8192  (and another one for hard limit)
[12:37] <loxs> what am I doing wrong?
[12:38] <wingnut2626> Is there any command that I can run to amplify my wifi receiver?
[12:38] <llutz_> wincide: " mount -o remount /almacen" re-mounts without any new option, so Opt=0
[12:39] <llutz_> wincide: that won't show fstab-option after a re-mount
[12:39] <wincide> llutz, i guess remounts with fstab options , isnt it ? , these : defaults,rw,user,auto
[12:39] <llutz_> wincide: that won't show fstab-options after a re-mount
[12:39] <wincide> anyway , i 've rebooted before the remount to try to get rw access
[12:40] <llutz_> wincide: " mount -o remount,rw,bla,foo /almacen"   would have shown those as Opts
[12:41] <babali> I want ti instal ver.11.10 on an old laptop that does not have settings for AHCI or sata on bios.will this be a problem?
[12:41] <wincide> well llutz :  sudo mount -o remount,rw  /almacen ->  EXT4-fs (sda4): re-mounted. Opts: (null)
[12:42] <auronandace> babali: ubuntu supports ide drives too (you don't need a sata drive)
[12:42] <llutz_> wincide: it already was rw, so no change
[12:43] <babali> auronandace>,i have a sata drive but no settings with AHCI on bios.is this ok?
[12:44] <auronandace> babali: you need to check what connections are available on your motherboard
[12:45] <babali> auronandace>this is a laptop only SATA supported
[12:45] <auronandace> babali: then why do you say the bios doesn't support sata?
[12:46] <dmiejifde> Olaaaa
I said that bios has no setting for AHCI or SATA
[12:46] <dmiejifde> eeoo
[12:46] <dmiejifde> OOlaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[12:47] <FloodBot1> dmiejifde: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:47] <auronandace> babali: lets take this from the top, you want to install ubuntu on your laptop?
[12:47] <auronandace> babali: your laptop has a harddrive in it?
yes
[12:48] <auronandace> babali: if the answers to those 2 questions are yes, then you can install ubuntu
[12:49] <wincide> llutz, thanks, but i think this is not the cause, i will read more documentation about fstab :)
[12:49] <llutz_> wincide: what do you really want to do?
[12:52] <llutz_> wincide: check ownership of /almacen,  775 means nothing, if its root:root owned a user still won't have writeaccess
[12:58] <researcher123> hi
[12:58] <auronandace> low
[12:58] <sopho> way
[12:58] <Kent> Anyone know anything about data recovery? Some Excel files on an NTFS partition were corrupted and are sitting at 0 bytes. I'm using some recovery utilities but don't really know what I'm looking for...
[12:58] <magicJ> I have a system with lp configured.  I can transmit and print jobs until for some reason I start getting them held because it reports"Alerts: printer stopped" - what is setting this status - if I reboot the jobs come out - if I cp to /dev/usb/lp0 the text comes out
[12:58] <researcher123> hello friend. can somebody help with this http://paste.ubuntu.com/800529/ ?
[12:59] <magicJ> Kent: was it user error or disk failure?
[12:59] <Kent> magicJ, the system crashed, probably a video card
[12:59] <Kent> disk is fine
[12:59] <researcher123> Please help here http://paste.ubuntu.com/800529/
[13:00] <auronandace> researcher123: are you using extra repos?
[13:00] <vi390> hi, having problems with getting a touchscreen to work, maybe someone can help   http://paste.ubuntu.com/800530/
[13:00] <researcher123> auronandace: How do I check that?
ok Thank you
[13:00] <llutz_> magicJ: sudo cupsenable printername
[13:00] <magicJ> Kent: run a copy of SpinRite
[13:01] <vi390> when i run through the xinput_calibrator it does not calibrate somehow
[13:01] <vi390> any idea?
[13:01] <Kent> magicJ what does that do?
[13:01] <auronandace> researcher123: you don't know if you've added extra repositories? check your sources.list
[13:01] <researcher123> auronandace: ok
[13:01] <auronandace> babali: no worries :)
[13:02] <magicJ> Kent: get to the web site and look grc.com - it repairs disks - and it really does an amazing job - I have had many disks that have been damaged beyond repair supposedly that it has recovered
[13:03] <Kent> When did I say the disk was broken?
[13:03] <magicJ> Kent: I acutually have an advert in the local college  that if everyone else sayds your drive needs to be replaced, bring it to me, if I fix it is $100 if not free.  Tyoicall make a few $100 per month
[13:04] <Kent> Can someone kick magicJ for spam
[13:04] <Kent> I said the disk was fine
[13:04] <magicJ> Kent: you said the data was inaccessible and that you thought that hardware did it
[13:04] <Kent> The files were corrupted after the system crashed
[13:04] <Kent> They were left with 0 bytes, so I'm trying to recover any deleted backups and autorecover files
[13:05] <magicJ> Kent: if you are suer that the files were corrupted I would agree with you - but how do you know that the disk sectors are not damaged
[13:05] <Kent> Excel makes backups and deletes them regularly as normal operation. I'm hoping to find one of these backups
[13:05] <Kent> I'm not going to pay for your mates program
[13:05] <magicJ> Kent: ok - good luck - if the data is important it is woth trying anything - I agree
[13:06] <magicJ> Kent: I could ask - why didn;t you have a backup, too
[13:06] <leontopod> so the new ubuntu 11.10 gui interface looks like it can run on a pad computer
[13:06] <leontopod> OK!
[13:06] <Kent> magicJ, I do have backups, but not for the recently changed data
[13:06] <cipherboy> Kent: might try testdisk.
[13:07] <magicJ> llutz: 1) cupsenable did not help, 2) why would the thing have gone to that state anyway, 3) lpstat reports that the lp is accepting jobs
[13:07] <Kent> Using testdisk now, but I don't know if it's dumping whole files or just partial data and giving it a file name
[13:08] <cipherboy> Kent: you will have to test that once it is done.
[13:12] <shachar> Hi , i need help with ubuntu 11.10 , i`ve installed ubuntu on my laptop and updated my video adapter drivers , since then my touchpad scrolling is very very fast. the touchpad sensetivity is set to lowest. any idea what can cause the problem?

[13:15] <MooCow93> This Ubuntu TV thing... what *IS* it actually? Is it an OS distribution? A software running inside some other OS? Is it an actual piece of hardware? It talks about "one remote" and "no boxes"?! The about page doesn't explain ANYTHING AT ALL!

[13:15] <MooCow93> I've read http://www.ubuntu.com/tv and it doesn't explain a thing.
[13:16] <kelemvor> It seems like I've lost 700+ gb on nonexisting files.
[13:17] <auronandace> kelemvor: lost 700gb of non-existing files? if they didn't exist in the first place then you can't have lost them
[13:18] <kelemvor> i don't know, but they don't show up other than when i use df or in the program Disk Utility
[13:19] <kelemvor> In Disk Usage it shows that I use ~950gb in my home folder, but it won't show me where, and it doesn't show up on 'du'
[13:19] <kelemvor> Disk Usage = Disk Utility
[13:19] <kelemvor> Disk Usage = Disk Usage Analyzer. I'm sorry, but I
[13:20] <kelemvor> 've been at it a while
[13:22] <drussell> kelemvor: this could be the root reserved space on the filesystem... "tune2fs -m 2% /dev/foo"
[13:22] <drussell> kelemvor: would reduce the reserved space from 5% (iirc the default) to 2%

[13:22] <auronandace> drussell: would root reserve 700gb?
[13:23] <kelemvor> Disk Usage Analyzer is contradicting itself as well. It says: Total fs capacity: 966 GB (used 917, available: 49) on top, and after a scan of / it says in the summary: folder '/' size 140GB

[13:23] <p0rcho> hi there. I'm trying to install ubuntu 11.10 using the USB, but I get a message saying that the installer could not unmount /cdrom and can't continue because of this. I've already googled for a answer but couldn't find anything that worked. any clues?
[13:25] <kelemvor> I also get a strange listing when i write 'ls -lha' where it lists only the last ~20 lines
[13:25] <kelemvor> above that is a lot of whitespace, enough to push everything above out of the screen
[13:26] <auronandace> MooCow93: i tend to find about pages are written by marketing people that want to make the product sound great or the next big thing without telling you much about what it actually is
[13:26] <drussell> MooCow93: it's software running on ubuntu
[13:26] <drussell> MooCow93 / auronandace : if you want to try it yourself look here: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/01/how-to-install-ubuntu-tv-right-now-via-ppa/
[13:27] <auronandace> drussell: no thanks
[13:27] <drussell> auronandace: fair enough
[13:27] <drussell> MooCow93: but do read the warnings, it's development code right now

[13:32] <Anomie21> auronandace: I would never back that data up. It's not sensitive.
[13:32] <MrHeat> ikonia: thanks
[13:32] <iceroot> ponrajuganesh: what commands you are using, what errors you get and so on
[13:33] <llutz_> Anomie21: why do you care about the lost videos then?
[13:33] <Anomie21> llutz_ Because it'll take me months to redownload them
[13:33] <Edico> chromium 15.0.874.106~r107270-0ubuntu0.10.04.1 is older or newer than chromium 14.0.835.202~r103287-0ubuntu1?
[13:33] <llutz_> Anomie21: you see, theres a reason even to backup this stuff next time :)
[13:34] <iceroot> Edico: newer
[13:34] <Anomie21> If I had enough hard drive space to back that onto I would've just used it for more movies
[13:34] <iceroot> Edico: the first number is the version, 15 is newer then 14
[13:34] <llutz_> Anomie21: you are our hero, good luck with recovering
[13:34] <sopho> 600gb download will take months?
[13:34] <iceroot> sopho: is that a real question?
[13:35] <sopho> iceroot: if you can see it, it must be there, so it is somehow real
[13:35] <Edico> iceroot, how come ubuntu 10.04 has a newer version of chromium than ubuntu 11.10?
[13:35] <Anomie21> sopho: If I had it all available to download on my seedbox still it'd take me 20 days
[13:35] <drussell> Anomie21: you could try http://extundelete.sourceforge.net/
[13:35] <iceroot> sopho: time to do some math
[13:35] <sopho> iceroot: be my guest
[13:35] <kelemvor> Does anybody have any tips for discovering what's eating my disk space?
[13:35] <Ciph> Im trying to install ubuntu server with a usb-stick. But after a while loading from the usb the screen goes blank. Im using HDMI > TV (I have no other option). Can I fix this somehow? Thankful for suggestions
[13:35] <drussell> Anomie21: however I think as you've dd'd over the filesystem.... you may be out of luck
[13:35] <iceroot> sopho: take the complete size and also take the download-speed, then total-size / downloadspeed
[13:36] <iceroot> sopho: which is a result in seconds, make that to hours, days and so on
[13:36] <drussell> kelemvor: what does "du -h" show?
[13:36] <sopho> iceroot: so there's variables in it :-) i guess u'r arriving at the point i was refering to :-)
[13:36] <iceroot> sopho: what is your real (ubuntu releated) question?
[13:37] <sopho> iceroot: obviously, there is none.
[13:37] <MooCow93> auronandace and drussell: Well, it kept talking about "no box" and "one remote"... so I don't see how it can be software.
[13:37] <kelemvor> 'du -h' shows 124G in home
[13:37] <drussell> MooCow93: that's because those pages are aimed at TV manufacturers
[13:37] <kelemvor> 'du -h' shows 132G in /
[13:37] <drussell> MooCow93: hence why it's being demonstrated at CES right now
[13:37] <MooCow93> So they are supposed to ship a PC with Ubuntu and Ubuntu TV inside the TVs?
[13:38] <MooCow93> I have never used or owned a "Smart TV", so I have no idea how they work... but I assume (and hope) that it's some kind of removable module on the back side.
[13:38] <drussell> kelemvor: so run "du -h --max-depth=2" from /root
[13:38] <MooCow93> And not actually integrated into the core electronics.
[13:38] <drussell> MooCow93: no, they're integrated
[13:38] <drussell> MooCow93: usually low power ARM devices etc
[13:38] <Edico> why ubuntu 10.04 has a newer version of chromium than ubuntu 11.10?
[13:38] <MooCow93> So you cannot get rid of them? You have to pay extra for a crappy, slow browser (as it usually seems to be according to stories)?
[13:39] <kelemvor> 'du -h --max-depth=2' in /root gives 1,2M
[13:39] <drussell> kelemvor: sorry not /root just /
[13:39] <Anomie21> Great, now the hard drive isnt mounting :/
[13:39] <anand> hello i have two folders and i want to sync them folder wise.how can i do that?
[13:40] <drussell> Anomie21: yeah, because you've blown away the filesystem
[13:40] <iceroot> !info chromium-browser lucid
[13:40] <llutz_> Anomie21: what do you expect after dd ing it?
[13:40] <iceroot> !info chromium-browser
[13:40] <kelemvor> drussell: I assumed that so I ran it right after, but it took a while. :)
[13:40] <kelemvor> 'du -h --max-depth=2' in / gives 132G
[13:40] <iceroot> Edico: i dont see a difference in the version
[13:40] <Anomie21> llutz_ : dunno, dont know what 'dd' is
[13:40] <urthmover> !info bacula
[13:40] <drussell> Anomie21: lol
[13:40] <llutz_> Anomie21: why dod you use it then?
[13:40] <iceroot> Edico: Version 15.0.874.106~r107270 on both
[13:41] <onre> kelemvor, something in your home directory/directories is eating the space.
[13:41] <Anomie21> llutz_ Because I was trying to repair a USB drive and someone told me to try that
[13:41] <onre> kelemvor, cd /home; du -sh *
[13:41] <llutz_> Anomie21: someone fooled you or you got it wrong
[13:41] <anand> hello any one plz help me. i have two folders and i want to sync them folder wise.how can i do that?
[13:41] <onre> kelemvor, you'll get a listing of how much each file and/or directory uses space. also: du -sk|sort -nr|less - you get sorted listing in kilobytes
[13:41] <kelemvor> 'du -sh *' in /home gives 124G
[13:41] <Anomie21> How do I use extundelete if it wont mount?
[13:42] <iceroot> Anomie21: you cant undo dd-actions
[13:42] <iceroot> Anomie21: dd is very good to destroy datas completly
[13:42] <onre> kelemvor, well, it prints a directory name, too. that is the directory containing the 124 gigabytes. go to that directory and continue the process.
[13:42] <liron> hey guys..
[13:42] <llutz_> Anomie21: try photorec/testdisk
[13:42] <liron> I need some help on  linux..
[13:42] <Anomie21> iceroot: It didn't complete though, only ran for a few seconds
[13:42] <iceroot> Anomie21: just my opionion, dont use a command starting with sudo if you dont know what the command is doing
[13:42] <kelemvor> onre: the prolem isn't the 124G that is listed. Its the 700G of disk space I'm missing.
[13:42] <iceroot> Anomie21: thats enough to kill all datas
[13:43] <liron> hoW CAN I USE the driver acx1100?
[13:43] <Anomie21> iceroot: Says it only got 164MB into it
[13:43] <liron> On Ubuntu 11.10?"
[13:43] <iceroot> Anomie21: because you killed the first superblock and the partition-layout (first 512byte)
[13:43] <onre> kelemvor, that sounds very interesting indeed. du -sh / gives what?
[13:43] <drussell> Anomie21: as mentioned, the start of the disk contains important information
[13:43] <liron> it so complicated
[13:43] <Anomie21> They should really put those bytes at the end :(
[13:43] <drussell> Anomie21: though as llutz_ mentioned, photorec and similar tools might help
[13:43] <iceroot> Anomie21: i did something simliar, i got a 2zetaByte partitoon, because i messed up the partitonlayout and superblock and the size was complety wrong
[13:44] <shachar> Hi , is there a way to search\list apt - get using the CLI?
[13:44] <iceroot> Anomie21: your data are gone, dont waste time on that, just thing about as good backup-solution and be carefull when using "sudo commands"
[13:44] <drussell> Anomie21: but they'll recover blocks of data, you'll need to find out what each recovered file is, rename it etc
[13:44] <iceroot> shachar: apt-cache search foobar
[13:44] <liron> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1906144
[13:44] <kelemvor> 'du -sh /' gives me a total of 132G
[13:45] <drussell> kelemvor: and "df -h" shows?
[13:45] <kelemvor> 'df -h' on the other hand suggests that I use 855GB on /
[13:45] <drussell> kelemvor: can you pastebin the outputs from both commands somewhere?
[13:45] <kelemvor> and that I currently have 4k left
[13:45] <kelemvor> http://pastebin.com/6esZFt6B -> df
[13:46] <kelemvor> http://pastebin.com/t1VXAine -> du
[13:46] <shachar> iceroot : How can i see which one of the list items are installed ?
[13:46] <Anomie21> If anyone knows lkraemer from the ubuntu forums tell him I'm coming after him.
[13:46] <Ciph> Does anyone know how to install ubuntu with a HDMI > TV screen. (It keeps going blank)
[13:46] <iceroot> shachar: dpkg -l | grep ^ii
[13:48] <Weaselweb> why was fbgrab replaced by fbcat? it lacks features
[13:48] <shachar> iceroot : Thank you , i entered the followin line to sudoers but when iam trying to 'sudo' i still need to enter passwd : shachar ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
[13:49] <drussell> kelemvor: wow, that's..... odd. I seriously don't know what to make of that output... one sec
[13:49] <blast007> Anomie21: the advice was probably not intended to be bad.. had you provided the correct device, it would have simply erased your flash drive.  In any case, you shouldn't blindly run commands without researching exactly what they will do.
[13:50] <g[r]eek> Hi I'm trying to find the .deb install file for dnsmasq so that I can copy it onto my offline server, any suggestions?
[13:50] <Anomie21> blast007: Probably not, but I stated it was a 32GB hard drive in the title of the thread and I'm assuming he got that drive path from my fdisk output which states that /dev/sdb1 is a 640GB drive
[13:50] <pangolin> g[r]eek: packages.ubuntu.com
[13:50] <g[r]eek> pangolin, thanks
[13:51] <Anomie21> blast007: plus I also said that the drive I was trying to repair wasnt in fdisk
[13:51] <shachar> iceroot : Thank you , i entered the followin line to sudoers but when iam trying to 'sudo' i still need to enter passwd : shachar ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL what is the right syntax?
[13:53] <kelemvor> drussell: I deleted a vm I don't need and got 5.6GB free. The only problem is that the free space is being eaten up. It's currently at 5.0GB a minute after deletion.
[13:53] <drussell> kelemvor: have you done anything with "sparse files" on your drive?
[13:54] <drussell> kelemvor: ahh sounds like if you've got vm images, that could be it
[13:54] <shachar> Hi , can some one tell me what is wrong with the syntax? , i am trying to 'sudo' without password :  shachar ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
[13:54] <Anomie21> Whats the easiest way to get the drive back to a blank usable state then so I can start piecing my life back together?
[13:54]  * Anomie21 sobs
[13:54] <kelemvor> drussell: not that i know of
[13:54] <kelemvor> The VMs are contained in my home dir, so they are listed there. Hence the reason my /home is 124 gb
[13:55] <go8765> is this ppa good to update weechat? or i haveing problems with dependences https://launchpad.net/~number5/+archive/ppa
[13:55] <kelemvor> And none are running now, but I'm currently at 4.0 GB of free space
[13:55] <MonkeyDust> go8765  i think weechat is in the repos
[13:55] <milligan> I'm going to be upgrading my comp in the next few days, and it will be packing 16GB+ of RAM. It's going to be used mainly for developing.. more specifically doing java/jsp/tomcat etc etc.. Should I be installing a 64 bit system, or will I be able to utilize its full capacity with 32bit? What quirks might I run into running 64bit ?
[13:55] <drussell> kelemvor: you're certain none of them are running?
[13:55] <blast007> Anomie21: you probaly just need to partition it again and then format the partition
[13:55] <g[r]eek> pangolin, ok I've got the deb file on my server. How do I install it from my terminal?
[13:56] <go8765> MonkeyDust: but not fresh version
[13:56] <pangolin> g[r]eek: sudo dpkg -i file-name.deb
[13:57] <MonkeyDust> !info weechat
[13:57] <kelemvor> drussell: very certain. I've rebooted, and not started them up again
[13:57] <rzec> how can I tell if my install of ubunut is 32 or 64 bit?
[13:57] <rzec> ubuntu server that is
[13:57] <pangolin> rzec: uname -a
[13:57] <pangolin> rzec: if you see x86_64 it is 64 bit
[13:57] <Anomie21> which file system is best?
[13:58] <g[r]eek> pangolin, thanks
[13:58] <pangolin> g[r]eek: welcome
[14:00] <Anomie21> ext2 ext3 ext4?
[14:00] <drussell> Anomie21: ext4 is the current default
[14:00] <Anomie21> drussell: thx
[14:02] <kelemvor> drussell: heres a screenshot of my Disk Usage Analyzer: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/434822/dua.png
[14:05] <Anomie21> drussell: blast007: I deleted all the partitions and made a new ext4 partition and it mounted, I cant do anything with it though. There's one read-only folder called 'lost+found' in it I cant access and I cant make any new folders or move stuff over?
[14:07] <MonkeyDust> Anomie21  what is it you want to do?
[14:07] <Anomie21> MonkeyDust: I want to be able to use it as a hard drive
[14:07] <MonkeyDust> Anomie21  why not partition it during a fresh install?
[14:08] <compdoc> Anomie21, make sure the directory you created to mount it in has permissions
[14:08] <iHile> Anomie21: type "mount" in terminal after you mount
[14:08] <drussell> kelemvor: pastebin the output from "sudo tune2fs -l /dev/sda1"
[14:09] <Anomie21> Ah the owner is root because you run gparted as root
[14:10] <MonkeyDust> Anomie21  makes no difference during fresh install
[14:10] <Anomie21> MonkeyDust: 'fresh install' ?
[14:10] <kelemvor> drussell: http://pastebin.com/NPVccVJ9
[14:10] <MonkeyDust> Anomie21  is that not what you want?
[14:10] <Anomie21> Well I'm not installing anything so not sure what you mean
[14:10] <Anomie21> This is an external hard drive, not my main HD
[14:10] <MonkeyDust> i missed that part
[14:12] <MonkeyDust> Anomie21  then you can use gparted to do the job
[14:12] <Anomie21> MonkeyDust: I'm in gparted but I dont see any options to give anyone write access
[14:12] <MonkeyDust> Anomie21  you don't do that in gparted
[14:12] <koden> hey all really noobie question but I accidentally deleted my panel on one of my dual screen monitors and I am setting it back up but whenever I open anything in my monitor the tab to open and minimize it goes to the other monitor, how do I get it to stay in the monitor I opened it it
[14:12] <koden> in*
[14:12] <compdoc> you do that with Nautilus
[14:12] <blast007> kelemvor: just curious - have you booted from a LiveCD and tried mounting that partition?  wondering what it would show anything differently there.
[14:13] <koden> using ubuntu 10.10 if it matters
[14:13] <Anomie21> MonkeyDust: chown?
[14:14] <MonkeyDust> Anomie21 for folders, yes
[14:14] <kelemvor> drussell: No, I haven't tried that. There's just one problem: I don't have space left on my disk to download Ubuntu. :D
[14:14] <MonkeyDust> koden  use more interpunction, you question is unreadable
[14:14] <Anomie21> MonkeyDust: Do you always speak in riddles? lol
[14:15] <MonkeyDust> Anomie21  i think it's you speaking in riddles, you want to use gparted to set permissions
[14:15] <kelemvor> I meant for that message to be to blast007.. :/
[14:15] <Anomie21> (14:12:40) MonkeyDust: Anomie21  you don't do that in gparted
[14:15] <r4vn> is anywhere guide how to configure wireless printer? :)
[14:15] <pangolin> Anomie21: you formatted the drive?
[14:15] <Anomie21> pangolin: yes
[14:15] <compdoc> Anomie21, you can use chown or run:  gksu nautilus
[14:15] <pangolin> Anomie21: ok close gparted
[14:16] <Anomie21> pangolin: K
[14:16] <MonkeyDust> pangolin  actually, i don't get what Anomie21 wants
[14:16] <MonkeyDust> good luck
[14:16] <pangolin> Anomie21: now open your file browser and try to create a folder on that drive
[14:16] <Anomie21> pangolin: It's greyed out
[14:17] <compdoc> I guess Anomie21 cant see my posts
[14:17] <Anomie21> sorry compdoc I was messing about with gksu nautilus whilst talking to pangolin
[14:18] <pangolin> Anomie21: close your file browser, hit alt-F2 and type gksudo nautilus and then right click on the drive and check the permissions under properties
[14:18] <Anomie21> pangolin: There's no 'properties' when I right click the drive in gksudo nautilus
[14:19] <pangolin> compdoc: some help :)
[14:19] <drussell> kelemvor: hmm I'm puzzled, I can't see anything out of the ordinary there...
[14:20] <koden> ok MonkeyDust, I have two screens. In one I accidentally deleted a panel (we will call it monitor A). I have recreated the panel in monitor A. When I open a window monitor A the little tab button that can open and close that window displays on monitor B.
[14:20] <Anomie21> Only options I have are 'Open, Open In New Tab, Open In New Window, Add Bookmark, or Unmount'
[14:20] <drussell> kelemvor: I've passed the urls to a few people, will let you know if they think of anything
[14:20] <compdoc> pangolin, I was the first to suggest checking permissions fot the mount folder, and I use Nautilus for that. so whats your problem?
[14:20] <pangolin> compdoc: he sees no "properties" when right clicking
[14:21] <koden> http://b.4sm.biz/screenshots/clippings/773a68ef84c16baa1cfffb5c8fc873d099d0dfbd.png see where it says, "xchat: koden @ FreeN..." that tab button thing. Not quite sure what to call it MonkeyDust
[14:21] <kelemvor> drussell: I'm considering a clean install, but the thing is, I'd rather not, due to installed packages, configs and whatnot.
[14:21] <blast007> drussell: could running an fsck maybe help his issue?
[14:21] <compdoc> so help him fix it - youre in charge now
[14:22] <pangolin> compdoc: who said I was in charge? also I asked you to help me...
[14:22] <drussell> blast007: maybe...
[14:23] <drussell> kelemvor: if you run "touch /forcefsck" and then reboot, when your machine boots up it will check the filesystem to ensure there is no corruption
[14:24] <drussell> kelemvor: I don't think that's the problem, but it shouldn't do any harm either
[14:25] <kelemvor> I ran SMART Data self test a little earlier, and that didn't report anything. I'll be back after a reboot
[14:25] <blast007> might take quite a while for a disk that large
[14:25] <kelemvor> blast007: I know. :(
[14:26] <blast007> could it be a rootkit?  I haven't encountered one (that I know of), so I'm not sure how "advanced" they are
[14:26] <kelemvor> whatever it is, it's hiding quite well..
[14:26] <blast007> yeah
[14:26] <blast007> you had mentioned that 'ls' gave weird output?
[14:27] <kelemvor> blast007: it's like it's putting a lot of extra whitespace above the last lines.
[14:27] <gartral> is it possible too purge *all* java installs from a system? every time I go too remove openjdk it wants too install sun-java-6 and vice-versa
[14:28] <nomad__> i'm a newbie who screwed up grub, can somebody here help me?  i accidentally set it to timeout at 0 and the default is memtest
[14:28] <llutz_> kelemvor: ls -l /whatever >file && less file
[14:28] <kelemvor> might have to do with little disk space, but I don't know. 'du' is the same
[14:28] <nomad__> i'm running ubuntu from the LiveCD now, hoping to gedit the grub file
[14:28] <kelemvor> llutz: less is more stable, yes.
[14:28] <nomad__> can somebody walk me through this?
[14:28] <kelemvor> llutz: there I get the entire output without whitespace
[14:29] <blast007> kelemvor: that was kinda worrying me too - as though the binaries had perhaps been modified/replaced
[14:29] <llutz_> kelemvor: thats what this action  was for
[14:29] <Anomie21> now the hard drive isnt being recognised by gparted :/
[14:30] <Anomie21> I'll just wipe it on mac osx
[14:30] <kelemvor> llutz: Haha - ls: write error: No space left on device
[14:30] <llutz_> kelemvor: nice try :(
[14:31] <blast007> kelemvor: try running the ls with sudo
[14:31] <blast007> since root has some space reserved
[14:31] <kelemvor> blast007: that worked
[14:32] <juniour> hi
[14:33] <kelemvor> blast007, llutz: I can't see anything strange in the output
[14:34] <rib0f1avin> my fan noise increases in ubuntu 11.10 compared to windows
[14:34] <hwilde> rib0f1avin,  that's because it's running all the time and doesn't scale down
[14:35] <hwilde> rib0f1avin, if you find the right driver for your hardware it will throttle the fan
[14:35] <rib0f1avin> but its fine on windows
[14:35] <rib0f1avin> is it problem with ati drivers or the bios?
[14:37] <shobha> hello, how to start ibus daemon on startup in ubuntu 10.10? I added it through system settings(GUI), any command line help is appreciated.
[14:37] <Anomie21> sudo chown -R (user name) /dev/(device name) is the ubuntu command to change the permission to a different user
[14:37] <Anomie21> But what permissions are hard drives set to when you first buy them? So that they just work on any computer?
[14:38] <llutz_> Anomie21: NO
[14:38] <iceroot> Anomie21: dont do that
[14:38] <kelemvor> I'll be back after a restart and fsck
[14:38] <iceroot> Anomie21: you are never working directly on /dev/foobar
[14:38] <llutz_> Anomie21: those disk never come with unix-filesytems. make it ntfs/vfat whatever if youwant that
[14:38] <nomad__> i am trying to sudo gedit a grub file that's on another partition and i can locate it in the file browser, but how can i see what the file path is so i can enter in the terminal?
[14:38] <shobha>  hello, how to start ibus daemon on startup in ubuntu 10.10? I added it through system settings(GUI) but no effect, any command line help is appreciated.
[14:39] <Kircle> Guys is it possible to instead of assinging the expo function a shortcut (expo key is where it shows you all your workspaces) could I do it via a bash command? So I could just have a button in my launcher instead?
[14:39] <llutz_> Anomie21: if you want to use ext4, sudo mount /dev/sdXY /wherever && sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /wherever
[14:40] <Anomie21> llutz_: Made it NTFS, still not giving me permissions to access it though?
[14:40] <llutz_> !ntfs
[14:40] <llutz_> Anomie21: ^^
[14:40] <Anomie21> oh it works on my mac now though
[14:41] <Anomie21> woo working on ubuntu now
[14:44] <helo_> hello, I was updating my system and it will no longer boot. It comes to a screen saying BusyBox v1.13.13 ....
[14:44] <helo_> Can anyone help?
[14:44] <researcher123> Please help here http://paste.ubuntu.com/800529/
[14:45] <EvilResistance> helo_:  anything else on the screen?
[14:45] <diverdude> does scripts in /usr/local/bin have precedence over scripts in /usr/bin? If i have a scripts with same name in both folders and both are executable...which one will be executed then?
[14:45] <helo_> (initramfs)
[14:45] <llutz_> diverdude: echo $PATH   shows you the order scripts were searched
[14:46] <EvilResistance> helo_:  that wasnt my question.  it should usually tell you why it dumped you into initramfs
[14:46] <llutz_> diverdude: from left to right
[14:46] <helo_> "No init found. Try passing init=bootarg"
[14:47] <diverdude> ubuntu users are supposed to put their own scripts in /usr/local/bin right?
[14:47] <llutz_> diverdude: personal stuff ~/bin
[14:48] <diverdude> and global stuff?
[14:48] <llutz_> diverdude: /usr/local/
[14:48] <diverdude> i knew it...aha
[14:48] <diverdude> goood
[14:48] <diverdude> thx
[14:48] <diverdude> :D
[14:48] <FloodBot1> diverdude: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:49] <llutz_> diverdude: sry "their own scripts"  reads for as "personal"
[14:49] <kelemvor> drussell, llutz: do you know what makes me feel like an idiot? Being an idiot.. I thought I had restarted the system earlier, because I pressed restart and went to the bathroom. Upon returning I had the login screen. When I tried it now, I saw it didn't actually restart, but just closed the prompt. So now, after a restart, everything seems fine.
[14:49] <Anomie21> Hmm, still having problems moving files onto the drive from other computers. Saying the drive cant be modified. It's set to NTFS, is there anything else I need to do?
[14:50] <helo_> I tried booting to the previous kernel as well and same issue.
[14:51] <diverdude> llutz_: yeah ok. bad formulation. im so sorry...im just trying to clean up a messsy system i made by installing ruby from source using make install
[14:51] <gartral> nomad__: ever get your grub config figured out?
[14:52] <drussell> kelemvor: lol
[14:52] <drussell> kelemvor: so it was a runaway process writing to the disk
[14:52] <Sparky-UK> Can someone advise me what I need to do to fix "mountall: fsck /boot [316] terminated with status 1" error on boot
[14:53] <kelemvor> drussell, llutz: Thanks for your help. I really appreciate it. Lesson learnt: Never take anything for granted.
[14:53] <drussell> kelemvor: no worries, glad you got it sorted
[14:53] <kelemvor> drussell: yes, but not to a spesific file it seems, as I would have found that file
[14:55] <nomad__> can somebody please teach me how to get write access to a file on a file on my ubuntu partition on my hard drive, when i'm currently running from a LiveCD?
[14:55] <gartral> nomad__: sudo gedit
[14:55] <nomad__> gartral, thanks, but how do i specify the file path?
[14:55] <researcher123> Please help here http://paste.ubuntu.com/800529/ http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/5503/desktop1c.png
[14:55] <gartral> nomad__: I assume you want access
[14:55] <nomad__> the partition appears to be called "11 GB Filesystem" but that doesn't work
[14:56] <gartral> nomad__: I assume you want access too /boot/grub/grub.conf?
[14:56] <nomad__> to etc/default/grub
[14:56] <helo_> Can someone help me get my ubuntu to boot? It was running perfectly until I tried to update this morning. It now dumps to busybox and an initramfs prompt
[14:57] <blackshirt> hello, is there limit capacity on ~/Desktop directory on user home dir
[14:57] <blackshirt> ?
[14:57] <nomad__> but sudo gedit etc/default/grub doesn't work
[14:57] <Anomie21> In gksudo nautilus when I try and change the permissions for 'Others' to Create and delete files/full read & write access it won't let me? Just jumps back itself
[14:57] <researcher123> Why I cant update or upgrade. Kindly see the error messages and screen-shots here Please help here http://paste.ubuntu.com/800529/ http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/5503/desktop1c.png http://img651.imageshack.us/img651/5692/desktop2i.png
[14:57] <gartral> nomad__: keep in mind that while your in the livCD environment your root (/) will be the livecd's root, too find the drive mountpoint you should check ls /media
[14:58] <gartral> nomad__: your leading slash is missing there
[14:58] <gartral> nomad__: it would be /ect/default/grub
[14:58] <diverdude> when i write which ruby it says /usr/bin/ruby. But when i then write ruby to execute it it says no such file or directory. Why is that?
[14:58] <nomad__> thanks, but i'm not sure i understand how to ls /media
[14:58] <gartral> nomad__: open a terminal and type ls /media
[14:59] <blackshirt>  hello, is there limit capacity on ~/Desktop directory on user home dir?
[14:59] <nomad__> okay, i did that got the long string of digits
[14:59] <gartral> nomad__: ls is LiSt
[14:59] <nomad__> should i type "sudo gedit /long-string-of-digit/etc/default/grub" ?
[14:59] <gartral> oi.. it's giving you the GUIDs of te partitions..
[15:00] <geirha> blackshirt: What do you mean?
[15:00] <gartral> nomad__: first ls /media/long-string-of-digits
[15:00] <diverdude> when i write which ruby it says /usr/bin/ruby. But when i then
[15:00] <diverdude> 	    write ruby to execute it it says no such file or directory. Why is
[15:00] <diverdude> 	    that?
[15:00] <Frozenpacket> Just installed ubuntu 11.10 Wanted to know how to check for updates
[15:00] <gartral> blackshirt: by default /home's capacity is as large as the partition /home is on
[15:01] <nomad__> okay, that gave me a list
[15:01] <blackshirt> geirha:  i mean Desktop directory on Gnome-based under user home directory ?
[15:02] <geirha> blackshirt: Yeah, but what type of limit are you talking about?
[15:02] <gartral> blackshirt: so if you have all your mountpoints on the same partition (which gennerally isn't a great idea) of a size of 300 gb, then /home and everything under /home would have a theoretical capacity of 300gb.
[15:03] <gartral> ARGH java is a pain in the butt
[15:03] <blackshirt> geirha, gartral: can we place file with 500 MB in size or above in specific Desktop folder ?
[15:03] <EvilResistance> !privmsg | helo_
[15:03] <helo_> Sorry
[15:04] <AdvoWork> just done a fresh install of 11.04 on a laptop. Im trying to change the desktop back to the classic. It says search for Login screen and change it that way, yet i can't find that option. Searching for Login only shows the user accounts sections. Any ideas please?
[15:04] <geirha> blackshirt: Sure, as long as there's enough free space for it.
[15:04] <nomad__> gartral, is one of the items in this list the path i need?
[15:04] <gartral> blackshirt: yes, if your using a standard ext3/4 partition your maximum filsize is like.. 2.4tb
[15:04] <gartral> nomad__: that depends, is /ect in that list?
[15:05] <diverdude> when i write which ruby it says /usr/bin/ruby. But when i then
[15:05] <diverdude> 	    write ruby to execute it it says no such file or directory. Why is
[15:05] <diverdude> 	    that?
[15:05] <nomad__> yes, it is
[15:05] <gartral> !spam diverdude
[15:05] <EvilResistance> diverdude:  did you perhaps install ruby firsta?
[15:05] <gartral> !spam | diverdude
[15:05] <EvilResistance> first*
[15:05] <EvilResistance> gartral:  i think its !enter
[15:05] <EvilResistance> !enter | diverdude
[15:06] <diverdude> EvilResistance: well im not sure
[15:06] <gartral> nomad__: than chanches are good that it's your HDDs root. or / so yes, that's what you need
[15:06] <diverdude> EvilResistance: how can i find out
[15:06] <blackshirt> gartral, geirha: thanks for enlightmnet
[15:06] <EvilResistance> diverdude:  apt-get install ruby
[15:06] <EvilResistance> if its not installed, it'll install it
[15:06] <EvilResistance> if it is installed, it'll say 0 packages removed, 0 upgrade, and 0 new packages installed.
[15:06] <Frozenpacket> Just installed ubuntu 11.10 Wanted to know how to check for updates ..... Might be a stupid question but 11.10 looks alot different then 10.04
[15:06] <EvilResistance> otherwise, it'll go ahead and install ruby
[15:06] <llutz_> diverdude: ls -l $(which ruby)
[15:06] <nomad__> gartral it's opening the wrong grub, i think it's opening one on the LiveCD
[15:06] <ThePendulum> Greetings
[15:07] <ThePendulum> Everytime I boot Ubuntu, my display(s) look like this: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/25683105/Screenshots/001%20-%2011-01-2012%2016%3A01%3A53%20%20-%20Workspace%201.png
[15:07] <ThePendulum> I need to manually reset the settings to get it right again
[15:07] <ThePendulum> Any idea how to fix this permanently?
[15:07] <gartral> nomad__: sudo gedit /media/long-list/ect/default/grub
[15:07] <nomad__> ohhh
[15:07] <nomad__> thanks!
[15:08] <Frozenpacket> I am hoping the Updates that i need to get will fix my Microphone problem.
[15:08] <gartral> nomad__: no problem, i've borked grub so much that this is rutine from years back for me :P
[15:08] <ThePendulum> Obviously, it looks like http://dl.dropbox.com/u/25683105/Screenshots/001%20-%2011-01-2012%2016%3A07%3A24%20%20-%20Workspace%201.png after reconfiguration. It's not a lot of work, but a bit annoying to keep doing it every boot lol
[15:08] <chmac> How do I disable the top gnome-panel? Right clicking on the panel does not give me the option to delete it. I'm running gnome-panel on top of unity.
[15:08] <chmac> Right clicking does not bring up a menu at all. in fact.
[15:08] <felipe_Brz> neither the SQLite3 or  the PDO_SQLite extensions are installed by default on php downloaded via apt-get on ubuntu 11.10... is that correct?
[15:08] <ThePendulum> chmac: Ubuntu 11.10 with Gnome 3?
[15:09] <gwelter> chmac: how about alt-rightclick?
[15:09] <gartral> nomad__: I've been spoiled by EFT and GPT lately >.>
[15:09] <chmac> ThePendulum: Precise
[15:09] <gartral> chmac: unity --replace in a terminal should kill all panels
[15:10] <chmac> gwelter: Nothing on alt-rightclick either?
[15:10] <chmac> gartral: I actually want the bottom panel, just not the top.
[15:10] <ThePendulum> chmac: Considering my own experience, I concluded that editing things like that is no longer an option :| That's why I'm still on 11.04 with Ubuntu Classic (Gnome 2)
[15:10] <chmac> I was thinking something in gconf-editor, but I haven't found the correct option to kill it yet.
[15:10] <Frozenpacket> Just installed Ubuntu 11.10 Don't know how to update drivers so i can get my microphone working any help would be greatful :)
[15:10] <gwelter> chmac: k, i asked because in the new gnome lots of actions are behind the alt key
[15:10] <chmac> gwelter: Aha, ok, I'll try to remember that, thanks.
[15:10] <gartral> chmac: don't run gnome-panels with unity unless you like alot of wierd problems
[15:10] <nomad__> gartral, it won't let me save now
[15:10] <ThePendulum> Anyone on my display issue?
[15:11] <Deck`> i have to install a package with many dependences, how to delete the all packaged when i dont need them, should i use tags ?
[15:11] <chmac> gartral: I really, really, really like the window list, being able to minimise into it, track what's open in this workspace, etc.
[15:11] <helo_> I am getting this error and my system will not boot: Target filesystem doesn't have /sbin/init. Drops to the (initramfs) prompt. Everything was fine before trying to update the system this morning. Can anyone help, I'm totally stuck.
[15:11] <chmac> Frozenpacket: I'd recommend finding out the name of your soundcard / motherboard and searching for keywords like "sound problem", etc.
[15:11] <gartral> nomad__: you should be able too save-as too your desktop then cp ~/Desktop/grub /media/long-list/ect/default/grub
[15:12] <gartral> nomad__: make that sudo cp
[15:12] <AdvoWork> "Hi there. I need a new laptop, but I must be able to put Ubuntu on it. If i buy one, where I find Ubuntu will not work, am I able to return it? Thanks"......raghava_reddy_varala - You can install Ubuntu OS on the laptop yourself and it would definitely work on it......"how do you know though? I've not even specified a model"......raghava_reddy_varala - The Dell laptops are built in such a way that, all the latest operating system would work on
[15:12] <AdvoWork> them
[15:12] <Frozenpacket> okay thanks, It was working fine with 10.04 or what ever, But the problem i had with verison 10 is i couldn't get webcam working now its opposite... lol
[15:12] <darius> Hey, can someone give me the command for chaning javas priority? I can't do it through system monitor.
[15:13] <gartral> darius: sudo nice -n java
[15:13] <nomad__> gartra, sorry i was wrong that worked
[15:13] <nomad__> now i have to run update-grub somehow though, right?
[15:13] <gartral> nomad__: yes. sudo update-grub
[15:15] <darius> Does that increase the priority? I wanna play minecraft, but for some reason my computer runs it horribly, I have 1 gig of dedicated video ram, 3 gigs of ram and a 3.2 ghz dual core proccessor but it cannot run minecraft to save it's life, but it will run games like call of duty and skyrim without even a studder, I don't understand.
[15:15] <gartral> darius: which java do you have?
[15:15] <darius> Oracle java 6
[15:16] <gartral> darius: ok. and what grapics card?
[15:16] <DaZ> darius: do you run it with flags suggested on minecraft website? :f
[15:17] <darius> ATI Raedon, I don't remember the exact series, it doesn't list it in system info.
[15:17] <darius> And no daz I haven't tried that yet on this computer,
[15:17] <nomad__> gartral sudo update-grub says can not find a device
[15:18] <gartral> darius: ok firstly try running the game with java -jar -Xms 1024 -Xmx 1024 ~/Desktop/minecraft
[15:18] <gartral> nomad__: hang on
[15:20] <darius> unable to access jarfile 1024
[15:20] <diverdude> what is the difference between packages ruby-dev and ruby-full?
[15:20] <gartral> nomad__: sorry had too dig up my notes sudo grub-mkconfig -o /media/long-list/ect/default/grub
[15:21] <gartral> nomad__: sorry had too dig up my notes. sudo grub-mkconfig -o /media/long-list/ect/default/grub
[15:21] <darius> I tried copy and paste and it says invalid heap size -xms
[15:21] <kelemvor> drussell: I think I found the culprit. I did some 'df -h' to see that disk space wasn't eaten again, and everything seemed fine, until i started spotify. Using iotop i can see that it has a disk write of ~8 M/s, but it's cache isn't growing.
[15:21] <diverdude> or how do i see the contents of a package b4 installing it?
[15:21] <kelemvor> diverdude: are you installing ruby for rails?
[15:22] <gartral> darius: WHOOPS my bad
[15:22] <gartral> darius: ok firstly try running the game with java -jar -Xms1024M -Xmx1024M ~/Desktop/minecraft
[15:22] <Pici> diverdude: take a look at the output of apt-cache show packagename, or did you mean the exact files that the pacakge installs?
[15:22] <diverdude> kelemvor: yeah...well in order to get gitoriuos up and running sometime hopefully
[15:22] <nixnine> I have a portable hard drive but cannot see or mount it.  It did fine in Mint but I am trying to access it using 11.10.  Any suggestion?
[15:23] <darius> I'm trying the parameters on Minecraft.net and seeing what that does
[15:23] <kelemvor> diverdude: all sources says that you should avoid the repositories when installing ruby
[15:23] <nomad__> gartral, no problem about the wait, but it says can not find device again
[15:23] <skel> nixnine: unplug it and then tail -f /var/log/messages and plug it in again, see if it gives you a device or even recognizes it as a drive
[15:23] <gartral> nixnine: does it come up in your file browser?
[15:23] <darius> That didn't work, can you repost the other parameters? I don't know how to scroll up with Irssi
[15:23] <kelemvor> diverdude: https://github.com/sstephenson/rbenv or https://rvm.beginrescueend.com/ are places to look. I personally prefer rbenv
[15:24] <gartral> darius: page-up or /last gartral
[15:24] <diki> Anyone here using lm_sensors?
[15:24] <nixnine> doesn't show up i file browser
[15:24] <diki> I wish to know if it includes information about a graphics card's VRM temps
[15:24] <gartral> nixnine: huh.. does it come up when you go to System>Administration>Disk Utility?
[15:25] <darius> It's not letting me post the command in a whole command, it's breaking it's self up.
[15:25] <drussell> kelemvor: ouch! spotify is the culprit? strange
[15:26] <gartral> darius: java -jar -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M ~/Desktop/minecraft
[15:26] <diverdude> kelemvor: why?
[15:26] <gartral> nomad__: very strange.
[15:26] <darius> Unable to access jarfile
[15:26] <kelemvor> diverdude: because you may want to run to rubies at once. 1.8.7 and 1.9.3 for instance..
[15:26] <EvilResistance> darius:  try using minecraft.jar instaed of minecraft in gartral's statements
[15:26] <EvilResistance> s/statements/statement/
[15:26] <gartral> nomad__: try cd /media/long-list/ect/default and run the command again
[15:26] <nixnine> it show up but with 0.0 kb capacity
[15:27] <gartral> EvilResistance: actually the launcher is .zip
[15:27] <gartral> nixnine: what partition format?
[15:27] <nixnine> skel, can you explain your suggestion?
[15:27] <kelemvor> drussell: i know, and I don't think I've had the problem before now. When I whink about it, though, I have rebooted once in a while, and it does use some time filling up 700+ gb at ~8M/s
[15:28] <darius> Okay, the launcher is open and loading.
[15:28] <Edico> why google chrome is not in any repos?
[15:28] <skel> nixnine: open up a terminal
[15:28] <darius> edico sudo apt-get install chromium-browser
[15:28] <diverdude> kelemvor: here is a recommendation then... NEVER install ruby from source...it will give you only pain and grief...only use repo
[15:28] <gartral> Edico: because Chrome is closed source, you need too add the repo manually
[15:28] <diverdude> kelemvor: never install anything from source
[15:28] <gartral> diverdude: good advice.
[15:29] <nixnine> disk utility says its not partitioned.  But from mint, I actually managed to partition and install fedora 16
[15:29] <gartral> diverdude: second suggestion is Bad Advice.
[15:29] <diverdude> i learned that the hard way
[15:29] <diverdude> gartral: its good advice
[15:29] <gartral> diverdude: I have mplayer, vlc, and many other programs that are installed from source.
[15:29] <kelemvor> diverdude: I've never used repo when installing ruby. I wan't to easily switch versions if I have an old app that needs another ruby version
[15:29] <nixnine> ok skel
[15:30] <diverdude> kelemvor: then at least bundle it in a deb pack first
[15:30] <skel> nixnine: do you know the device name? if so we can skip that step
[15:30] <EvilResistance> gartral:  actually is .jar.  what version of minecraft are you using that has the launcher as a ZIP?
[15:30] <diverdude> kelemvor: i have manually been sitting and removing ruby files because they dont make an uninstall program
[15:30] <diverdude> kelemvor: that was not fun
[15:30] <diverdude> kelemvor: and why...because gitorius uses older ruby version
[15:30] <darius> Playing minecraft is about 3fps on my regular server and about 1fpm on my tekkit server, even with optimine and all of the parameters you suggested.
[15:30] <gartral> EvilResistance: my launcher is from back in the 1.6 days.
[15:30] <nixnine> dont know
[15:31] <nixnine> would that be /dev/sdb?
[15:31] <skel> nixnine: yeah thats a device name
[15:31] <nomad__> gartral, sorry it took so long, i did cd and then tried sudo grub-mkconfig again, but still says cannot find device
[15:31] <gartral> darius: that's really odd. i mean, minecraft runs like absolute dogcrap on my comp but i'm on an over-sized netbook. you shouldn't have that issue
[15:31] <nixnine> got it in disk utility
[15:32] <skel> nixnine: so if you want to see if that has a good partition table, do sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb
[15:32] <skel> nixnine: in a terminal
[15:32] <gartral> nomad__: something has changed. I haven't used GRUB in a few years. I'm sorry but I have no further advice
[15:32] <kelemvor> diverdude: I've never had that problem. It lacked an dependency once, so it botched installation, but I had no problem removing/replacing it
[15:32] <darius> I have a redicoulously powerful computer, I can run call of duty and skyrim at the same time on multiple monitors with out even a little bit of studder, but I cannot play minecraft,
[15:32] <skel> nixnine: you should see any partitions you made when installing fedora on it, they'll have the type "linux" or "linux ext"
[15:33] <nixnine> nothing happens with that command
[15:33] <gartral> darius: do me a favor and try replacing your sun-java-6 with openjdk.
[15:34] <nomad__> gartral, it's okay, at least i'm very close now, thank you for all your help!
[15:34] <skel> nixnine: what is the output?
[15:34] <darius> I have openjdk and it runs even worse on that, and it won't even open with tekkit installed.
[15:34] <skel> nixnine: chances are thats not the right device name then
[15:34] <gartral> nomad__: your quite welcome!
[15:34] <nixnine> no output, just username@machine~$
[15:34] <darius> Does anyone else here have minecraft? Maybe it's my server that's being laggy, I don't know why though
[15:35] <skel> nixnine: if you unplug the drive, then do sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog  and plug it back in, what do you see?
[15:35] <skel> darius: did you specify enough memory for it to run and do you have enough native memory?
[15:35] <gartral> darius: try logging into mine (addy in pm)
[15:35] <gartral> skel: he said he had 3 gb
[15:35] <skel> darius: ie, if your heap is too low it could constantly be doing garbage collection
[15:36] <darius> I have 1gig of dedicated video card ram, and 3 gigs of ram
[15:36] <gartral> skel: 1 gig should be MORE than enough for minecraft
[15:36] <darius> minecrafts minimum is 156mb
[15:36] <skel> darius: are you specifying -Xmx when you start the server?
[15:37] <skel> nixnine: if there's more then one line of output, paste it to pastebin if you want to share it. fyi
[15:37] <darius> I'm not running the server on this one, I'm trying to log onto my server, I have a premium hosted server,
[15:37] <skel> darius: ah ok
[15:37] <gartral> darius: hit ctrl-3 in your irssi.
[15:37] <Anomie21> Hmm, still having problems moving files onto the drive from other computers. Saying the drive cant be modified. It's set to NTFS, is there anything else I need to do?
[15:37] <skel> darius: well I modified my daughters link to specify -Xmx for the client as well, I think 512 is the default
[15:37] <darius> I started minecraft with a command for 1024
[15:38] <skel> darius: kk
[15:38] <darius> Can I try starting minecraft with all of my ram?
[15:38] <gartral> darius: can't hurt
[15:38] <darius> I really don't care about messing up this computer, I am getting rid of it soon it won't even boot up to windows.
[15:38] <gartral> darius: unless you have a hundred BIG mods installed
[15:38] <nixnine> Here's the output:http://pastebin.com/xPRkmV9K
[15:39] <gartral> darius: what are you doing with it?
[15:39] <darius> I have the Tekkit mod installed because I also have a tekkit server, along with optifine and optifine for multi threading
[15:39] <darius> And I'm probably going to run it over with my truck.
[15:39] <diverdude> what version does ruby-dev and ruby-full install?
[15:39] <darius> It's a year old and it runs horribly.
[15:39] <skel> nixnine: looking
[15:39] <gartral> darius: I'll take it!
[15:40] <gartral> :P
[15:40] <darius> You don't want to deal with this computers problems, trust me. I can't STAND toshiba.
[15:40] <tmus> join #openvpnas
[15:40] <gartral> also you have *both* optimine and optifine? that might be your issue,
[15:40] <tmus> (sorry)
[15:40] <gartral> tmus: slash-fail :P
[15:40] <nixnine> ok
[15:41] <darius> I have optifine, and the add for multithreading which uses both cores of my proccesors instead of the one core that minecraft uses by default.
[15:41] <RoObban> Hello! Anyone in here know how to install the Swedish BankiD, well any swede in here?

[15:41] <diverdude> what version does ruby-dev and ruby-full install?
[15:42] <Anomie21> Is there an equivelent of CHMODing my NTFS external HD to 0777 ?
[15:42] <skel> nixnine: do you use a different usb drive sometimes ?
[15:42] <skel> nixnine: for other things?
[15:42] <Pici> diverdude: the output of apt-cache show ruby-full says that it depends on ruby1.8-full
[15:42] <nixnine> several
[15:42] <skel> nixnine: have you ever manually edited /etc/fstab ?
[15:43] <nixnine> maybe
[15:43] <skel> nixnine: it's possible if you did, that you have a custom entry for /dev/sdb and its using wrong defaults or FS type
[15:43] <mackminer> guys, I'm looking to clear files in my home folder in bash, there are a few files beginning with the same name foobar. I'm wondering if I can use a wildcard on foobar (foobar*) with an option just to delete folders as opposed to files!
[15:44] <nixnine> I am running 11.10 from a flashdrive now
[15:44] <rileyp> anyone tried ubuntu tv
[15:44] <skel> nixnine: and now when you plug this one in, udev gives it "sdb" and then the system trys to match it to that in fstab and the settings don't apply
[15:44] <nixnine> advice?
[15:44] <skel> nixnine: do you have another usb port on a different bridge you can try ? like if you're plugged into the front, try the back etc
[15:47] <Anomie21> Anyone? I've tried cd /media/your_external_drive // sudo chmod -R 777 *
[15:48] <EvilResistance> gartral:  ah... the launcher was changed to a .jar around 1.8beta

[15:52] <pluk> hi
[15:52] <nomad__> gartral: i figured out i should just edit the grub.cfg file directly, and that worked...just wanted to let you know in case this comes up again
[15:52] <nomad__> even though your grub days are behind you :)
[15:52] <mobius420> Greetings #ubuntu
[15:53] <skel> nixnine: based on the error in your syslog it looks like more then a simple config issue.
[15:53] <ts2> nomad__: /boot/grub/grub.cfg will be regenerated whenever the kernel is updated, so don't expect changes to stick around
[15:53] <excelsior> help, can't blank rw dvd, when running "cdrecord dev=/dev/cdrom blank=fast" I get "wodim: Operation not permitted. Warning: Cannot raise RLIMIT_MEMLOCK limits.
[15:54] <skel> nixnine: if switching ports doesn't work, try the solution here if you're comfortable with navigating via shell and editing files: http://askubuntu.com/questions/61010/cant-mount-external-laptop-hdd-on-laptop
[15:54] <pluk> im running xubuntu 11.10, trying to get dvd playback to work. Ive installed the medibuntu stuff and libdvdcss2, but somehow it still doesnt work..
[15:54] <mobius420> I am running ubuntu on a Dell Inspiron 15R laptop. I wish to use a USB based headphones set but sound still comes from the speakers even when the headphones are plugged in. Can anyone suggest a fix?  maybe alsamixer?
[15:54] <gartral> nomad__: Ok, thanks for the heads-up, I'm glad i was able too point you in the right direction for the mountpoint
[15:55] <nomad__> gartral, yeah i don't think i ever would have figured that out, i was clueless :)
[15:55] <excelsior> with "sudo" I get "Errno: 5 (Input/output error), blank unit scsi sendcmd: no error"
[15:56] <mobius420> or is there an audio channel on freenode?
[15:57] <SigmaVirus24> can anyone point out to me where (if anywhere) ubuntu stores the X11/xorg source?
[15:57] <skel> excelsior: do you know what module or driver is being used for your rewriter driver?
[15:57] <hateb> where do I find installed programs, something like "program files" folder on win ?
[15:57] <SigmaVirus24> hateb: /usr/bin or /bin and sometimes /usr/sbin
[15:57] <schnuffle> SigmaVirus24: source? Do you mean the config?
[15:58] <SigmaVirus24> schnuffle: no I want the source tyvm
[15:58] <schnuffle> SigmaVirus24: Have you installed the source package?
[15:58] <skel> hateb: they're in different locations based on the program.  most everything you need is usually in your $PATH by default so you should have to provide absolute paths
[15:58] <skel> hateb: *shouldn't have to proved absolute paths
[15:58] <SigmaVirus24> schnuffle: I was just added as an admin to a system of ubuntu machines, i'm more accustomed to slackware which actually includes the source for items
[15:59] <skel> hateb: *provide    .. sheesh
[15:59]  * skel is taking crazy pills
[15:59] <schnuffle> SigmaVirus24: a debian package contains only the binaries, but there exists a source package as well
[16:00] <SigmaVirus24> well does the package include build options? that would rule out at least one problem we're having
[16:00] <hateb> I'm asking because I wanna add couple programs to autostart, but I can't find it
[16:00] <SigmaVirus24> hateb: use "which prog-name"
[16:00] <SigmaVirus24> i.e. which ls
[16:00] <skel> hateb: like to run as services?
[16:01] <schnuffle> SigmaVirus24: The source package contains the build options for the package. It's in the rules directory of the source package
[16:01] <hateb> where do I use this which prog
[16:01] <SigmaVirus24> thanks schnuffle
[16:01] <skel> hateb: anywhere, its in your path
[16:01] <skel> hateb: you just type: which <command> and it'll tell you the path of that binary
[16:02] <hateb> oh I see
[16:02] <hateb> thanks
[16:03] <magicJ> i have a system where lpstat is reporting that the printer is stopped - I can copy directly to the device and can not start the printer - a reboot will cause the queued jobs to print - whats uo?
[16:03] <schnuffle> SigmaVirus24: small correction its's ./debian/rules
[16:03] <SigmaVirus24> ok thanks schnuffle
[16:04] <SigmaVirus24> schnuffle: what's the complete path?
[16:04] <SigmaVirus24> (if you don't mind)
[16:04] <schnuffle> SigmaVirus24: if you install a source package with apt-get source <package> it gets downloaded to the actual dir
[16:04] <skel> magicJ: sounds like an issue with the spooling daemon
[16:05] <skel> magicJ: after you restart, how long before it stops working again?
[16:06] <Anomie21> I can't put files onto my external HD from other computers. I've tried cd /media/your_external_drive // sudo chmod -R 777 - any help?
[16:06] <skel> Anomie21: what do you mean by "from other computers". Have you set it up as NFS or iSCSI ?
[16:07] <schnuffle> SigmaVirus24: And of course you need the source repos enabled
[16:07] <jutnux> Have you setup up file sharing Anomie21?
[16:07] <SigmaVirus24> alright, thanks schnuffle
[16:07] <Anomie21> skel: I've tried it on two Mac OSX and its giving me a permission error. Should've mentioned it's NTFS
[16:07] <Anomie21> jutnux: I'm not transferring the files over a network, getting this error when I plug it into another comp and try and move files over.
[16:08] <jutnux> Run sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g in a terminal for me please.
[16:08] <skel> Anomie21: there's a few things you need to install to OSX before you can write to NTFS
[16:08] <jutnux> Oh, it's Mac OSX. Shouldn't you be asking in #mac rather than here?
[16:08] <Anomie21> jutnux: It worked fine before on NTFS. I just had to format the drive
[16:09] <nixnine> skel, i've commented out the lines in terminal like it says, but who do i save the change?
[16:09] <Pici> Anomie21: You're not running Ubuntu?
[16:09] <Anomie21> Pici: I am
[16:09] <jutnux> But you said it won't work on a Mac.
[16:09] <Pici> Anomie21: Where does OSX fit in then?
[16:09] <skel> nixnine: let me go take a look at the link, one sec
[16:09] <jutnux> Thus making your problem a Macintosh problem.
[16:09] <Anomie21> It's a seperate computer that I backed up some files onto earlier
[16:09] <Anomie21> and I'm trying to move them back over after I formatted/partitioned
[16:09] <nixnine> ok
[16:09] <hateb> Is it possible to change view settings in one window and apply that to all others as well (make it a default) ?
[16:11] <skel> nixnine: ok so they're just having you make a copy of /lib/udev/rules.d/80-udisks.rules and make changes and save it to /etc/udev/rules.d/80-udisks.rules
[16:11] <diverdude> i have inserted usb disk in my terminal only ubuntu machine. how do i browse it?
[16:11] <skel> nixnine: what you put in /etc/udev/rules.d will overwrite the default stuff in /lib/udev when it boots
[16:12] <skel> nixnine: so once you've done what its shown and saved the changes in the new path (/etc/udev/rules.d) then just try restarting and see if that helps
[16:12] <jutnux> diverdude: Can you run sudo apt-get install, we're going to need it.
[16:12] <jutnux> sudo apt-get install pastebinit I mean
[16:13] <schnuffle> diverdude:  mount it and then browse the mounted dir
[16:14] <nixnine> I did the editing in terminal but don't understand what to do after I've edited.  I don't know how I am supposed to save it.
[16:14] <skel> nixnine: what editor do you currently have up?
[16:15] <nixnine> nano?  is that an editor?
[16:15] <diverdude> schnuffle: yes but i have to find out what device it is?
[16:15] <skel> nixnine: yup :) ok so you just need to tell nano to save your changes
[16:15] <skel> nixnine: I don't use nano so give me a sec to google it
[16:15] <skel> nixnine: is there anything apparent that says save in the editor?
[16:15] <schnuffle> diverdude: yes, sudo fdisk -l should show you your devices. If you have only one harddisk it should be /dev/sdb1
[16:15] <Pici> nixnine: press ctrl-o to save. ctrl-x to quit.
[16:16] <skel> Pici:  ty =]
[16:16] <Pici> skel: np :)
[16:16] <skel> nixnine: brb
[16:16] <diverdude> schnuffle: it shows sda1 to 6
[16:16] <christo_m> hello, has anyone had success using WinFF for batch conversion of flv to mp4? i cant seem to get it to work.
[16:16] <schnuffle> diverdude: and no /dev/sdb?
[16:16] <magicJ> skel: if i reboot the jobs print immediately
[16:16] <diverdude> schnuffle: its not 4,5 or 6
[16:17] <mneptok> nixnine: do you usually use a graphical text editor?
[16:17] <diverdude> schnuffle: nu. only sda
[16:17] <nixnine> Thanks Pici, that saved it
[16:17] <nixnine> gedit usually
[16:17] <diverdude> schnuffle: nr 1 is boot device...so probably also not that one
[16:17] <schnuffle> diverdude: Then check if the hardware is recognized: lsusb should show your USB pen drive
[16:17] <mneptok> nixnine: try install the package "ne" and use ne to edit text from the command line. ne's menu system is much more intuitive for people accustomed to a GUI.
[16:18] <mneptok> !info ne
[16:18] <diverdude> schnuffle: its there
[16:18] <schnuffle> diverdude: sdaX are te partitions from your first harddisk
[16:18] <jutnux> diverdude: pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l please
[16:19] <schnuffle> diverdude:  do you know what filesystem is on the stick?
[16:19] <hahahafhdfh> hey guys
[16:19] <skel> nixnine: back, so as long as you saved those changes to the file /etc/udev/rules.d/80-udisks.rules  you should be able to reboot and udev will read those and hopefully that'll fix the issue with your drive not mounting
[16:19] <diverdude> jutnux: i cant really do that because its on a machine where ubuntu is crashed and its in recovery mode...now im just saving data
[16:19] <hahahafhdfh> i need to speak to UBUNTU OP pls
[16:19] <diverdude> schnuffle: i think its ntfs
[16:19] <mneptok> hahahafhdfh: #ubuntu-ops
[16:19] <skel> magicJ: I caught that it prints immediately after reboot, but how long before it stops working after that
[16:20] <jutnux> diverdude: then run sudo fdisk -l and find your USB drive
[16:20] <jutnux> diverdude: then type sudo mkdir /mnt/USB
[16:20] <nixnine> i need to reboot system?
[16:20] <jutnux> diverdude: then sudo mount /dev/sdb1 (or whatever your usb is called) /mnt/USB
[16:20] <hahahafhdfh> FUCK YOUFUCK YOUFUCK YOUFUCK YOUFUCK YOUFUCK YOUFUCK YOUFUCK YOUFUCK YOUFUCK YOUFUCK YOUFUCK YOUFUCK YOUFUCK YOUFUCK YOUFUCK YOUFUCK YOUFUCK YOUFUCK YOUFUCK YOUFUCK YOUFUCK YOUFUCK YOUFUCK YOUFUCK YOUFUCK YOUFUCK YOUFUCK YOUFUCK YOUFUCK YOUFUCK YOUFUCK YOUFUCK YOUFUCK YOUFUCK YOUFUCK YOUFUCK YOU

[16:21] <diverdude> jutnux: but if its sdb1 why aint it listed in fdisk -l ?
[16:21] <jutnux> diverdude: It is.
[16:21] <jutnux> diverdude: Please pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l
[16:21] <skel> nixnine: you could try sudo /etc/init.d/udev reload
[16:22] <skel> gah
[16:24] <schnuffle> diverdude: so you need at least ntfs-3g installed to be able to mount it

[16:29] <jutnux> Cube``: Don't talk about them please, you'll only encourage them.

[17:08] <lololgentoo> do you provide ubuntu support
[17:09] <smerz> brahmana, if it's an applet. you could try right clicking a the top/bottom panel and use "add to panel". maybe it's in there. otherwise I got no suggestions sorry :(
[17:09] <cba123> I'm getting "Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)" when I try to upgrade with "sudo apt-get upgrade". I've tried "sudo apt-get install -f" and still nothing.  Any ideas?

[17:10] <HannspreeUbuntu> Hello guys. I've been having problem installing ubuntu, segfaults. I was able to install the base system but no functional packages. So no I wanna apt-get irssi but it tells me to put in a cd. Seems like apt-get doesn't know i'm connected to the internet. Any ideas?
[17:10] <brahmana> smerz: It used to work for me about 4 hours ago. I shut the system down and now I don't see it.. !
[17:10] <reCAPTCHA> abhinay, from what I understand, ubuntu sometimes has issues with its clipboards (note the "s" at the end). Stupid question, but have you tried restarting?
[17:11] <lololgentoo> they think that copying ideas from good os (FreeBSD) will make their horrific codes and ugly shit better :/
[17:11] <brahmana> oh.. more wierdness.. The icon is just invisible, but it is there.. If I carefully click I get the regular network manager menu.. it's there but not visible.. !!
[17:11] <BinaryMaster> trying to install software and getting a dependency error on libboost-regex1.46.1 any way to apt-get the lib?
[17:11] <lololgentoo> ikonia: ok i drop it
[17:11] <lokomis> brahmana - Alt + F2 and run nm-applet.  I'm not sure if that is the most proper way of restoring it or if it'll persist after reboots but that should bring it back.
[17:12] <diverdude> skel: ohh it also says failed to load module "vmwgfx" (module does not exist)
[17:13] <lokomis> brahmana oh, if it's there gnome-panel might be acting buggy.    you could try a killall gnome-panel and see if it becomes visible when the panel restarts
[17:13] <skel> diverdude: I haven't been keeping up with xorg changes and it looks like they modularized the config, I'm searching around for the best way to reconfigure. thats probably it.
[17:13] <reCAPTCHA> brahmana, I would remove and then restore the indicator applets on the bar... but you've probably tried that.
[17:13] <wasanzy_> hi
[17:13] <diverdude> skel: heh ok and below it says please ignore the above warnings about not being able to load module/driver wmwgfx
[17:13] <smerz> brahmana, also there's a thread about your issue (likely) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1328631     may be usefull if none of the other tips help

[17:16] <reCAPTCHA> brahmana, it's 'indicator'
[17:16] <skel> diverdude: I've reached my limit of knowledge on Xorg config issues, unless you can find someone who can direct you on reconfiguring it to support your new monitor, I'd say try a re-install

[17:19] <diverdude> skel: how do i remove nvidia drivers from a terminal?
[17:20] <himanshu> Hi
[17:20] <skel> diverdude: if they were installed via package system, you could use apt-get --purge remove <package-name>
[17:20] <smerz> brahmana, yeah the guy claims it' caused by legacy settings after upgrading from previous ubuntu version. not sure if that applies or not. and removing all  hidden files without knowing what they're fore could loose you settings and potentially data
[17:20] <skel> diverdude: but the X config is still going to reference them
[17:20] <reCAPTCHA> diverdude: apt-get purge nvidia-current
[17:21] <ContraMundum> okay so I have a question. Is the unity interface we all use on 11.10 meant for tablets too? Or will there be a new shell for touchscreens?
[17:21] <brahmana> smerz: It might. Sometime back I had put in extra stuff in /etc/network/interfaces (based on a disscussion here for an entirely different problem)
[17:21] <smerz> worth checking perhaps then yes :)
[17:21] <Garbee> ContraMundum, It will be universal.
[17:23] <brahmana> smerz: bingo.. that worked... those extra lines and the managed=false was the problem. Changed those, restarted network manager and it worked.. :)

[17:31] <zagibu> chaospsychex: if you use pxe, ubuntu is not involved
[17:31] <skel> diverdude: no, I think you can do it pretty easily via the installer
[17:31] <skel> diverdude: when you go to install it'll show you what partitions you've got and ask which you want to use
[17:31] <zagibu> pxe means preboot xecution environment
[17:31] <chaospsychex> the client machine is a pentium 3,256mb ram,40gb hdd. no floppy,no optical drive, can't boot from usb
[17:31] <skel> diverdude: so you could just pick your existing ubuntu partition and tell it to use that and wipe it out
[17:31] <chaospsychex> zagibu: how can i boot ubuntu over pxe ?
[17:32] <diverdude> skel: ill do that instead
[17:32] <zagibu> then you need a tftp server that responds to the broadcast packets the pxe client sends
[17:32] <chaospsychex> zagibu: i can setup a tftp server on ubuntu? can ubuntu be booted and installed via pxe?
[17:32] <zagibu> yep to both
[17:33] <skel> diverdude: I gotta run to a meeting, I'll be back in about an hour.

[17:47] <^SiL3nT> diverdude: depends on how many other OSs you have on the machine. If one, no. If yes, the other OSs should have they're own boot loaders. Therefore, no ;)
[17:47] <taurus86> !lamp
[17:47] <Gnea> HannspreeUbuntu: is it possible to copy the textfile via a usb thumbdrive? you can then use pastebin instead of flooding irc
[17:47] <^SiL3nT> !lamp
[17:47] <Mac_Weber> what is the default folder of screenrc for all users?
[17:47] <mtrg> Gnea: are you kidding dude? wtf has icoutil to do with cout?
[17:47] <Gnea> mtrg: then there probably isn't a manpage written for that command
[17:47] <mtrg> Gnea: it's not a command, it's an object name in c++..
[17:47] <Gnea> mtrg: please mind your language and attitude
[17:48] <mtrg> Gnea: ok, sorry. i'm usually a jerk. nvm.
[17:48] <diverdude> ^SiL3nT: well i have win7, but i suppose that after i installed ubuntu dual boot the Grub loader took over and disabled the windows (MBR i think)
[17:48] <diverdude> ^SiL3nT: But i dont know if my grub loader has its own partition. How can i find out?
[17:48] <Gnea> mtrg: this is an OS support channel, not a programming support channel. try libpocoutil9 then
[17:49] <mtrg> Gnea: nope, something else
[17:49] <mtrg> Gnea: it was my mistake. i actually had it
[17:49] <Gnea> !info libpocoutil9
[17:50] <Gnea> mtrg: ah, okay. no problem.
[17:50] <^SiL3nT> diverdude: Use GParted and go through the tags of the partitions, Ubuntu usually doesn't create a partition for the grun loader, but if you only have win7, it's MBR will take care of the boot - no grub needed.
[17:50] <^SiL3nT> grub *
[17:51] <mtrg> Gnea: i had to type "man std::ostream" instead of "man cout"
[17:51] <ch1ch4rr1t0> i how i can help ubuntu?
[17:51] <Gnea> mtrg: nice
[17:51] <ch1ch4rr1t0> where is the development irc?
[17:51] <diverdude> ^SiL3nT: are you absolutely sure that if i just delete my old ubuntu partition....Then windows will figure out how to boot?
[17:51] <theadmin> Mac_Weber: /etc/skel/ contains files which are copied into the new users' home folders if that's of any help
[17:52] <mile123> diverdude: it is better to recover mbr from windows first
[17:52] <ch1ch4rr1t0> i how i can help ubuntu?
[17:52] <ch1ch4rr1t0> where is the development irc?
[17:52] <theadmin> ch1ch4rr1t0: #ubuntu-devel
[17:52] <andyvy> how come Ubuntu does not allow moving the launcher? This looks so much cleaner: http://imageshack.us/f/267/desktopsh.png/
[17:53] <^SiL3nT> diverdude: Windows is a very independant OS, it won't get rid of the MBR just because of linux. If GRUB came with your Ubuntu, then no problem. If not, I must check, but Windows wouldn't let it happen for it not to boot
[17:53] <diverdude> mile123: if i do that will mbr then take over and boot always?
[17:53] <Mac_Weber> theadmin: I'm looking for something like /etc/bash.bashrc, so if I have to change something later, I will have to change only once
[17:53] <ch1ch4rr1t0> theadmin,  thanks
[17:53] <theadmin> Mac_Weber: Ah, I see, then I dunno
[17:53] <gompassos> can i downgrade gnome 3 to gnome 2 on ubuntu 11.10 ?
[17:53] <webPragmatist> guys i'm trying to fix postfix by reinstalling it but apt doesns't delete things like the spool and such
[17:54] <webPragmatist> i want it to just drop everything
[17:54] <gompassos> try --purge
[17:54] <andyvy> gompassos: you can use gnome-shell-fallback, it looks just like gnome 2 without any effects.
[17:54] <diverdude> ^SiL3nT: all i want to do is to remove my dualboot so that i have only windows again...and then install a new ersion of ubuntu
[17:54] <webPragmatist> apt-get purge packagename you mean?
[17:54] <gompassos> yep
[17:54] <webPragmatist> i tried that
[17:54] <gompassos> :(
[17:55] <gompassos> andyvy, tks
[17:55] <^SiL3nT> diverdude: Boot GPArted from a CD, delete the partitions, add new ones, boot from new ubuntu, install it. done !
[17:55] <Mac_Weber> theadmin: ok, I found it on /etc/screen, I must have mistyped it earlier =P
[17:55] <mile123> diverdude: if you recover mbr from windows it will setup it as the win7 is the only os. If you will not see the grub during reboot then remove partition
[17:56] <theadmin> Mac_Weber: I see. Good for you.
[17:58] <mile123> diverdude: if you are going to install another version of linux you may skip all that steps and just start instalations.
[17:58] <ryn> can anyone recommend a malware scanner for servers?
[17:59] <ryn> i'm using rkhunter but want a 2nd opinion
[17:59] <Gnea> ryn: clamav
[17:59] <ikonia> for linux ???
[17:59] <ikonia> that's not going to do anything
[17:59] <Gnea> sure it is
[18:00] <phoophoo>  /msg nickserv register PASSWORD EMAIL
[18:00] <ubuntu> quit
[18:01] <ryn> ikonia: it can't hurt i suppose to run clamav… but i'm wondering if there are more specific tools geared at LAMP boxes
[18:01] <nixnine> I am still trying to access a portable harddrive in 11.10.  It is seen but not accessible.  Can someone decipher this: http://pastebin.com/2Ywa7aTy
[18:02] <ch1ch4rr1t0> there is anyway to xchat save the server and the channels ou are in?
[18:02] <ikonia> ryn: what you're running doesn't really matter
[18:02] <ikonia> ryn: lamp/email/webserver etc etc
[18:02] <ryn> sure
[18:02] <ikonia> ryn: is there a reason you feel you may be compromised ?
[18:03] <GrizzLyCRO> howcan i force .deb to install? i have newer version installed and i want older
[18:03] <ryn> ikonia: i found this code in an index.html file: http://pastebin.com/jASbeqFt
[18:05] <ikonia> ryn: where did the index.html come from ?
[18:06] <ryn> it was existing, but the chunk of code wasn't in it originally
[18:06] <ikonia> ryn: eg: is it a site you designed/installed, is it something like (for example) wordpress
[18:06] <ikonia> ryn: what's the file modification date and who is the owner of that file
[18:06] <ryn> just a static page in a static folder
[18:06] <^SiL3nT> does it need a malware scanner ?
[18:07] <ryn> ikonia:
[18:07] <ryn> www-data www-data 2.5K Dec 15  2009 index.html
[18:07] <ikonia> ryn: what's the permissions on that file
[18:07] <ryn> ^SiL3nT: that's what i'm asking about… i'm using rkhunter but want a 2nd opinion
[18:07] <ryn> ikonia: -rw-r--r--
[18:08] <ikonia> ryn: ok, so it could only be edited by someone with sudo access
[18:08] <ikonia> ryn: how many other people have "sudo" access on this machine
[18:08] <diverdude> mile123: how do i recover MBR from windows?
[18:08] <Myrth> hi, how is it possible to get orginal file checksum in apt package?
[18:08] <LjL> !info debsums | Myrth
[18:09] <ryn> ikonia: i'm the only one with root… not sure how to check members of sudo
[18:09] <ryn> will google it
[18:09] <Myrth> LjL, thanks!
[18:09] <ikonia> ryn: you've set a root password ?
[18:09] <ryn> oh yes
[18:09] <ikonia> ryn: just look in /etc/group who is in the admin group
[18:09] <ikonia> ryn: can you login directly as root to the server ?
[18:10] <diverdude> how do i recover windows MBR?
[18:10] <ikonia> diverdude: the guys in ##windows can tell you how to use the windows install cd to put the mbr back
[18:10] <mile123> diverdude: that's a good question, I know what should be done but not how
[18:10] <oxproxy> ls -las
[18:10] <HannspreeUbuntu> Gnea, I was finally able to do it, sorry for big delay http://paste.ubuntu.com/800858/
[18:12] <ryn> ikonia: only root is listed in /etc/sudoers
[18:13] <ikonia> ryn: that's not what I asked
[18:13] <ikonia> ryn: is this a vps by any chance
[18:13] <ryn> ikonia: yes vps… i didn't see "admin" in /etc/group
[18:13] <ikonia> that's why
[18:13] <ikonia> ryn: vps with a dodgy / non-official ubuntu install
[18:14] <ikonia> ryn: ok - so if only you have root access to this machine and your web page has been changed, I would suggest you re-install the OS,
[18:14] <ikonia> ryn: once your machine is compromised, which from what you've said, it is, you cannot trust anything
[18:14] <ryn> ikonia: yes the infected was Jaunty (i've since rebuilt a clean server on Squeeze)
[18:15] <ryn> i still have the infected Jaunty slice tho, using it to poke around
[18:15] <ryn> you think it was a Jaunty hole?
[18:15] <ikonia> ryn: ok, so if you've deleted the OS and done a clean install, you should be "ok"
[18:15] <chaospsychex> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/WindowsServerNetboot i'm following this tutorial but i get 'pxe boot file not found' on the client machine?
[18:16] <ikonia> ryn: no, I think it is a "vps" hole, as the company that built your VPS changed the default ubuntu install breaking the security model (sudo/root password/admin group) they normally do this sloppy and leave holes
[18:16] <ikonia> eg: root logins allowed
[18:16] <ikonia> that's how I knew it was a VPS tons of companies run these modified ubuntu versions that are put together sloppy and put customers at risk
[18:17] <chaospsychex> i'm trying to pxe boot the netinstaller but getting 'file not found' error

[18:18] <makara> hi. I wanted to try the alternative office suit Calligra, but the dependencies include project-neon-base and 133meg of KDE wallpaper. Is possible to exclude this deb from the install??
[18:20] <makara> I also need to sync an iPad2 to iOS5. there was discussion on this here a few days back. Any ideas?
[18:20] <skel> diverdude: any luck?
[18:21] <diverdude> skel: hey....i have booted on a new live disk and now im trying to install a new ubuntu alongside windows and my old ubuntu
[18:21] <MeanEYE> Is there a way to make Empathy auto open new chat windows instead of blinking in contact list?
[18:22] <diverdude> skel: i figured it would be safer this way and then try to delete the old ubuntu after
[18:22] <skel> diverdude: ah gotcha. then if the new one works you can just delete the old and resize
[18:22] <subcool> VNC users?
[18:22] <skel> MeanEYE: I think there are preferences in Empathy on whether or not to use notify
[18:23] <diverdude> skel: yes exatly. Now i am waiting for the new ubuntu install program to finish its partition resizing...hoping that nothing goes wrong
[18:23] <skel> subcool: not a big fan of vnc. using NX atm
[18:23] <MeanEYE> skel, "Display incoming events in the notification area"?
[18:23] <skel> MeanEYE: yeah, thats it
[18:23] <lordjj> Anyone knows where I can find a small ASCII Art of a coin? :P
[18:23] <diverdude> skel: the fragile part is the windows installation....i would really like to keep this one since the kids sometimes use if for their videogames
[18:24] <LjL> !ot | lordjj
[18:24] <MeanEYE> skel, That doesn't make any sense. So if I turn off notifications, chat automatically opens?
[18:24] <skel> MeanEYE: if you uncheck that supposedly it'll use systray and pop windows based on your prefs
[18:24] <skel> MeanEYE: you're not turning off notifications, its poorly worded imo. you're chosing to not use the notify tray
[18:24] <MeanEYE> skel, Weird, but I didn't find any preferences regarding that. Maybe I need to restart application.
[18:24] <ryn> ikonia: i see what you're saying… altho i can't imagine Slicehost ever doing anything wrong - they are perfect!
[18:25] <MeanEYE> skel, It is poorly worded. Thanks though. I'll check!
[18:25] <skel> diverdude: if you ever have to completely wipe, maybe consider windows inside a vm using kvm or virtualbox
[18:25] <subcool> how the hell do i google this?
[18:26] <skel> subcool: sorry I may have missed something, just came back from away .. google what?
[18:26] <ikonia> ryn: apart from allowing your box to be exploited.......that's far from perfect
[18:26] <subcool> skel, scroll up- my issue..
[18:26] <diverdude> skel: yeah...but i dont know how well games perform in a vbox
[18:27] <ryn> no they're perfect! perfect i say!! ;)
[18:27] <ryn> ikonia: thx for the tips
[18:27] <skel> diverdude: that way if you ever have to re-image ubuntu, you can just copy the virtual disk image of windows somewhere else and then re-install your box and re-import it
[18:27] <MeanEYE> skel, It works. Thanks! :D
[18:27] <skel> diverdude: yeah, you have to have enough resources. but I know virtualbox supports opengl direct3d etc
[18:27] <skel> MeanEYE: cool, glad to help :)

[18:31] <AndroidLoverInSF> how can i change my system env variables, say i modify /etc/profile, how to have a new env var active?
[18:31] <dweez> I'm running Gnome3 on 11.10.  Whenever I hit Alt+tab, I lose most input functionality.  I can move the mouse and click on things in the toolbar, but the keyboard doesn't work and the mouse clicking doesn't work (except in the forementioned top toolbar)
[18:31] <Sparky-UK> skel: thanks
[18:32] <theadmin> AndroidLoverInSF: Log out and back in
[18:34] <w30> dweez, probably alt tab is a compiz function and something in compiz is not configured like certain window manager functions
[18:34] <gartral> does anyone how Ubuntu would react too something like THIS http://www.razerzone.com/projectfiona/tech_specs
[18:35] <jessica1> Gnea: samba-doc that has the sharesec are just documents, samba the suite package has the sharesec tool, however when i installed samba, the sharesec tool is not included in the install
[18:35] <dweez> w30, thanks, I'll look into it.  My previous "googling" hasn't found anything pertinent but maybe the compiz factor will narrow it down
[18:35] <w30> dweez check in ccsm and see what <alt.<tab> is bound to.
[18:36] <dweez> w30, is there an easy way to search or do I just have to click through each enabled option?
[18:36] <skel> gartral: from a processor architecture it would be fine.. as long as the rest of the hardware (bluetooth / wifi etc) is relatively common I'm sure it'd work just fine
[18:36] <jessica1> !info sharesec
[18:36] <skel> gartral: there'd probably be some initial config cycles to go through
[18:37] <jessica1> !find sharesec
[18:37] <w30> dweez, if move place window functions are unchecked stuff happens. worse case check everything back to defaults and start over
[18:37] <gartral> ohh big time, but I might consider using Unity on that bad boy
[18:38] <gartral> unfortuently it's SO new that no-one has complete specs

[18:39] <sskalnik> gartral:  Isn't that just a concept that doesn't physically exist yet?

[18:44] <Duality> while trying to install ubuntu on a computer i get halfway the install a freeze, and the scroll and capslock start blinking what could this be? i've tried several cd/dvd drives...
[18:44] <Gentoo64> thunderbak :)
[18:44] <chaospsychex> can someone help me pxe boot the netinstaller? i am following a tutorial but having no success
[18:44] <skel> subcool: looking
[18:44] <w30> stanman, you need to export your profile to a home file at it's various configs because it is a lot of configuring to completely redo if it foobars
[18:45] <stanman> great idea
[18:45] <Sparky-UK> skel: thanks much appericiated
[18:45] <gartral> Duality: that's ussually a sign that the OS did something too halt the machine..
[18:45] <Gentoo64> Duality, does the mouse work?
[18:45]  * w30 knows; he has foobarred a lot *smile*
[18:45] <sskalnik> chaospsychex:  patience; may also post in the forums if you haven't already.
[18:47] <Duality> yes the mouse worked, but not while blinking though
[18:47] <gartral> Duality: BIOS halt.
[18:48] <stanman> after reverting to default settings,  i can't do anything. all i have access to is this chat window :(
[18:48] <stanman> restart needed
[18:48] <stanman> ?
[18:48] <gartral> stanman: try logout/login first
[18:48] <skel> subcool: I don't know a whole lot about x11/vnc together. I do have a suggestion for a substitute (nomachine.com)  the NX server
[18:49] <Duality> so why would it do a bios halt then?
[18:49] <skel> subcool: it's like 4 deb packages that you install and then its all ready to go. it's faster then vnc, tunnels it over ssh so its secure and supports things like sound etc
[18:49] <subcool> i was looking at that- didnt work out last time i used it- but couldnt hurt.
[18:49] <stanman> how do i logout without the option to. i tried ctrl+alt+del
[18:49] <stanman> no go
[18:49] <Duality> could it be cpu?
[18:49] <skel> subcool: they've done quite a bit with the v4 preview
[18:49] <Duality> it's pretty old, pentium III 1Ghz
[18:49] <gartral> Duality: no, more probably a wierd BIOS with bad ACPI implimentation
[18:49] <skel> Sparky-UK: are you booting off a usb drive?
[18:50] <skel> squaregoldfish: ok, still looking through strace output
[18:50] <Duality> any way to overcome or is this computer gonna be useless? also the computer has dipswitches near the bios ...

[18:53] <EyePulp> howdy - anyone know if there's a way to make upstart ignore the death of a child process forked from a parent process that upstart is watching?  It seems to restart my whole process when a child worker dies, even though I've got error handling for worker death.
[18:54] <Gentoo64> Duality, sounds like kernel panic maybe
[18:54] <Gentoo64> hard to tell on livecd
[18:54] <Gentoo64> if it happens every time try leaving tail -f /var/log/messages in a terminal and also kern.log
[18:55] <daddysturg> What do you think is the best WM for razer-qt? I like openbox, but isn't it GTK-based?
[18:55] <skel> Sparky-UK: was it an upgrade to 10.04 or just one day it stopped booting
[18:55] <Gentoo64> daddysturg, you can use qt with openbox
[18:55] <Duality> the installer was in graphical so i couldn't see any message's ..
[18:55] <helo_> I need help with sound, I have already looked at the how to and documentation on the ubuntu website. Where should I go to ask questions since the last time I asked here I was fed a generic !sound response?
[18:55] <Gentoo64> Duality, im quite sure you can leave gnome terminal open
[18:55] <diverdude> skel: the new ubuntu installation works fine
[18:56] <daddysturg> Gentoo64: True, do you think it would have the least dependencies?
[18:56] <skel> squaregoldfish: try http://wiki.dovecot.org/Debugging/Thunderbird ?
[18:56] <Gentoo64> daddysturg, i use openbox its very light
[18:56] <diverdude> skel: i think ill just forget about the old for now...
[18:56] <skel> diverdude: awesome :)
[18:56] <Gentoo64> daddysturg, because its minimal you can install whatever you want
[18:56] <dr_willis> helo_:  check the forums for your exact sound chipset and the forums perhaps.  'sound issues' can get very complex.
[18:56] <Duality> so try and install from terminal, i'd first have to try without install right :)?
[18:56] <diverdude> skel: gawd...now back to try and figuring out how to install gitorious
[18:56] <daddysturg> Gentoo64: Right. razer-qt is a new DE based on QT, from what I hear. Weird, is openbox not in the main repo?
[18:57] <Gentoo64> Duality, i dont mean install from terminal, i mean leave a term open showing logs in real time view
[18:57] <dr_willis> helo_:  theres a few people in here at times with decent sound debuging experience.. but not me.
[18:57] <skel> diverdude: you can always use something like gparted to remove the old ubuntu install and resize the partitions (do it from a livecd or something)
[18:57] <Gentoo64> Duality, that way you might be able to catch some error
[18:57] <Sparky-UK> skel: no upgrades or anything have been done, I manually manage updates as well so nothing should have been upgraded without me knowing. Machine was shutdown gracefully for preperation of a host upgrade, just didnt switch back on
[18:57] <hateb> how do I remove bluetooth icon from system tray ?
[18:57] <Gentoo64> daddysturg, should be
[18:57] <diverdude> skel: yeah...but i was just worried about where the grub loader was located...i wouldnt wanna delete that one
[18:57] <Duality> sounds like a plan i'll let you know what happens ? :)
[18:58] <coraxx> is the 3D Cube Desktop feature from the compiz window manager available for Ubuntu 11.10 ...in both Gnome3 and Unity ?
[18:58] <daddysturg> Gentoo64: Ah, I don't think I had universe enabled
[18:58] <skel> Sparky-UK: would it be possible for you to get a pastebin of the bootup. would be helpful to see some context around the error
[18:58] <skel> diverdude: ah yeah
[18:59] <skel> brb
[18:59] <dr_willis> coraxx:  the cube plugin can break/fight with Unity. theres some guides on getting it working at the webupd8 blog site i recall.
[18:59] <coraxx> dr_willis: thanx :-)   (do you have a weblink plz)
[18:59] <Sparky-UK> skel:I can get you a screenshot maybe
[19:00] <dr_willis> coraxx:  nope. go to the webupd8 blog site and use their search feature.
[19:00] <dr_willis> coraxx:  i hate the cube. i find it useles.
[19:00] <Culiforge> hi all, I'm getting libdvdread: Can't stat dvd on ubuntu 10.04 when handbraking a dvd. lsdvd -a shows up peachy.. any thoughts?
[19:01] <Gentoo64> do people still find that 3d cube impressive?
[19:01] <dr_willis> Culiforge:  i was thinking id read somewhere where handbrake cant rip comercial dvd's any more for legal reasons..
[19:01] <skel> Gentoo64: no way, old news.. I use the 4d cube now
[19:01] <skel> Gentoo64:  :-P
[19:01] <aeon-ltd> Gentoo64: varies, but no
[19:01] <Gentoo64> :)
[19:01] <juniour_> hey
[19:01] <dr_willis> Culiforge:  i tend to use k9copy to put comercial dvd into a non-encrypted iso. then use handbrake on the iso.
[19:01] <Culiforge> dr_willis: tried about 6 different dvds all non commercial
[19:01] <aeon-ltd> Gentoo64: it seems unneccessary to waste processing power like that, i'd rather a fluid faster change
[19:01] <juniour_> hi
[19:02] <juniour_> there?
[19:02] <aeon-ltd> juniour_: yes?
[19:02] <Gentoo64> hi
[19:02] <dr_willis> Culiforge:  i tend to use tools other then handbrake these days.   so really cant suggest much else.
[19:02] <juniour_> hey how to open .srt file in movie player in 10.10
[19:02] <helo_> dr_willis: My sound has always worked on this machine. I did an update this morning that broke a lot. I wasn't even able to boot until after running a disk check from a live CD. And now I have no sound. My lshw shows the "audio device" as 82801I (ICH9 Family) but it doesn't show at all in the sound preferences gui.
[19:02] <stanman> ok so i reset compiz config settings to default and logged out, then back in to see if the panel and normal gui was back, and i had nothing. what do i need to do?
[19:02] <stanman> i am now under another user
[19:02] <dr_willis> helo_:  as a test you could try one of the older kernels from the grub menu.
[19:03] <juniour_> hi
[19:03] <dr_willis> helo_:  but other then that. I dont have much experience in sound troubleshooting.
[19:03] <juniour_> any one know
[19:03] <dr_willis> stanman:  had 'nothing' meaning what exactly.
[19:03] <Gentoo64> juniour_, is that a subtitle file?
[19:03] <juniour_> yep?
[19:03] <juniour_> yep
[19:03] <Gentoo64> juniour_, if so, im pretty sure you just leave it in the films dir
[19:03] <Culiforge> yeah, that's what I do on my desktop.. just trying for a solution on the htpc to have it all on there
[19:04] <juniour_> ya i kept it but not showing in the subtitle option
[19:04] <michaelgamble> ok new question
[19:04] <Gentoo64> juniour_, nor sure :s
[19:04] <Gentoo64> t
[19:04] <michaelgamble> please tell me someone knows of an easy ui for managing users and groups access through smb, nfs and afp
[19:04] <juniour_> ya sure
[19:04] <helo_> dr_willis: Thanks, I'll try that and check back here in a few hours if I have no luck
[19:04] <juniour_> when i click on subtitle option i get empty
[19:04] <stanman> i had no ability to access "apps"  dash home...etc
[19:05] <stanman> just had file, edit,... up top left
[19:05] <martianlobster> is there a way to open a remmina rdp session, and then copy paste from text in the session, to another window?
[19:05] <Gentoo64> juniour_, what movie player are you usingh?
[19:06] <diverdude> whats the difference between using aptitude or apt command in console?
[19:06] <juniour_> it name is movie player
[19:06] <juniour_> default player for ubuntu
[19:06] <juniour_> ie
[19:06] <juniour_> movie player
[19:06] <Gentoo64> juniour_, idk what it is, maybe try another one
[19:06] <michaelgamble> anyone easy management interface for filesharing over a network??
[19:06] <michaelgamble> thinking something like what you would see on a commercial NAS product in the form of web gui
[19:07] <juniour_> i have trie for many but it dident work for any one
[19:07] <dr_willis> !info ebox | michaelgamble
[19:07] <dr_willis> michaelgamble:  you are refering to 'samba' shares? or other ways?
[19:07] <michaelgamble> hopefully samba nfs and afp
[19:07] <michaelgamble> at a minimum samba
[19:07] <pegler> hi all.  I can't seem to find any info on where the setting is to extend how long syslog files are kept.  seems they are only being kept for a week on my system currently.
[19:07] <skel> diverdude: I know aptitude will help you do things like remove unused packages (ie. you installed something that needed a bunch of deps but then uninstalled it)
[19:07] <aeon-ltd> michaelgamble: ftp server?
[19:07] <Gentoo64> juniour_, no idea, sorry :(
[19:07] <dr_willis> I tend to just set them up by hand. :)
[19:07] <michaelgamble> don't care about ftp
[19:07] <juniour_> k

[19:09] <skel> Sparky-UK: if you login to maintenance mode and do fsck -y /dev/sda1 etc
[19:10] <Sparky-UK> skel: one moment

[19:12] <abhinavmehta> ppa(personal package archive)
[19:12] <iHile> launchpad?
[19:12] <abhinavmehta> hmm
[19:12] <skel> abhinavmehta: I've only consumed ppa's myself. I've been thinking of making one but no experience yet
[19:13] <abhinavmehta> skel: same with me, but now I wan to save my network bandwidth…so looking to make one for myself now.
[19:14] <skel> is there anything like satellite for Ubuntu? or would that be the PPA system?
[19:14] <abhinavmehta> but since from couple of hours….I'm trying and failing in-between…so thought, someone here with good-pointers to read.
[19:14] <abhinavmehta> donno
[19:15] <Sparky-UK> skal: I dont cancel the check it just finished, when I enter that comamnd I get fsck.LVM2_member: not found
[19:16] <skel> Sparky-UK: hm ok I see it's the fsck now thats terminating. one sec
[19:16] <skel> Sparky-UK: missed that before, sorry
[19:16] <Pici> abhinavmehta: https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA/Uploading and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide should be enough to get you started.

[19:18] <abhinavmehta> Pici: but thanks for the inputs.
[19:19] <skel> Sparky-UK: have you made any manual entries in /etc/fstab ?
[19:19] <herve> bonjour
[19:20] <diverdude> skel: but is there a difference between apt-get install and aptitude install ?
[19:21] <skel> diverdude: I think the only difference is how each tool analyzes the metadata about the package its installing
[19:21] <skel> diverdude: I think aptitude is more flexible / diverse in that way
[19:21] <folivora> Gday, does someone know that where I can download spotify-client-qt (= 1:0.5.2.84.g6d797eb-1) <- package... I need to .deb file :)
[19:21] <Sparky-UK> skel: yes I believe that there is an nfs/smb entry, again this has been working for at least a year, all seperate lines, nothing that was there has been changed
[19:23] <skel> Sparky-UK: ok, just asking. udev will assign device names to volumes and if you put a manual entry in /etc/fstab and added an additional volume sometime back without restarting, it could re-assing the devices differently (why its good to use lables)
[19:23] <Duality> i started the install from terminal and halfway it just stopped and quit, it's not even in system monitor anymore ...
[19:24] <skel> Sparky-UK: let me see how to use fsck with lvm, one sec

[19:26] <xaka> let's assume i have 2 repos. both have the same package. can i configure APT somehow to always install package from specific repo?
[19:26] <skel> Sparky-UK: do you know which volume is your boot volume?

[19:42] <WhiteOwl-m> hm
[19:42] <WhiteOwl-m> It's pretty new
[19:43] <WhiteOwl-m> I read that you have to recompile ndiswrapper for it to work, and this is only for 32bit ubuntu
[19:43] <skel> Sparky-UK: so enter / ctrl-c / etc  nothing takes you to a login prompt and net services like ssh aren't working?
[19:43] <WhiteOwl-m> does not work on 64bit.. as I'm fairly new, this is not really an option

[19:44] <Sparky-UK> skel: nope cant get past it at all, intrestingly enough it does respond to pings tho, no ssh tho
[19:44] <Resistance> Neosano: alrighty, i'll try that, i'll be back if it doesnt work :P

[19:50] <WhiteOwl-m> skel, as you're the only expert here which is responding xD: what do you think, would this setup work: VirtualBox on a Windows Home Server and then install Ubuntu Server virtual as a mediaserver?
[19:50] <aaa_> hi all. i want to make a keyboard shortcut that will terminate the a process named "wow". how can i do it (using ubuntu, latest version)?
[19:51] <skel> WhiteOwl-m: if your end goal is to have an ubuntu media server, I wouldn't virtualize it within windows
[19:51] <Spyros> aaa_, you have to add pkill wow to keyboard shortcuts
[19:51] <skel> WhiteOwl-m: I'd go out and get another usb wifi adapter that uses a well know chipset
[19:51] <WhiteOwl-m> yeah but the problem is it has to be wireless too and with an ubuntu server I would've probably but it in virtualbox anyway
[19:51] <bencc> is it possible to force a package to update from a specific repo?
[19:51] <WhiteOwl-m> hm ok
[19:51] <excelsior> llutz: ok, then what?
[19:52] <llutz> excelsior: install them, "sudo dpkg -i *.deb" in the dir you downloaded them to
[19:52] <skel> WhiteOwl-m: I havent' really had any suggestions because when you're limited by hardware, there's not much most of us can do
[19:52] <WhiteOwl-m> yeah I understand that
[19:52] <skel> WhiteOwl-m: minus the brainiacs that write drivers :)
[19:52] <WhiteOwl-m> everything works fine with ethernet :D I just can't leave it in my roommates room running all the time (flat share) ;)
[19:53] <skel> WhiteOwl-m: what media server were you going to run?
[19:53] <WhiteOwl-m> mdp
[19:53] <WhiteOwl-m> or at least
[19:54] <WhiteOwl-m> as a part of it
[19:54] <WhiteOwl-m> I wanna put the server in the living room and then remotely control the sound output
[19:54] <WhiteOwl-m> mdp seems the best choice for this
[19:54] <ubluntu> WhiteOwl-m: mdp ?
[19:54] <WhiteOwl-m> mpd :D
[19:54] <magestik> om3
[19:54] <WhiteOwl-m> <- n00b
[19:55] <WhiteOwl-m> http://mpd.wikia.com/wiki/Music_Player_Daemon_Wiki
[19:55] <ubluntu> WhiteOwl-m: I know what it is :-D
[19:55] <ubluntu> I use ubuntu for my pre-amp
[19:56] <skel> WhiteOwl-m: yeah I can't really think of any ways around the wifi issue. If you're not encoding 1080 video and are just doing music stuff you could probably get away with virtualizing from inside windows and bridging or nating  the wireless device
[19:57] <WhiteOwl-m> well i don't think I will encode 1080 :D
[19:57] <WhiteOwl-m> maybe stream it but I don't think so
[19:57] <WhiteOwl-m> rather just tell the server to play it
[19:57] <excelsior> llutz: ok, so download relevant debs, sudo dpkg -i them, and then look for it on the network?
[19:57] <ubluntu> WhiteOwl-m: stream to what game console ?
[19:58] <llutz> excelsior: open "localhost:631" in your browser, add a printer, use "socket://192.168.x.y" or whatever your printers IP is as device
[19:58] <WhiteOwl-m> no game console, just tv/monitor
[19:58] <WhiteOwl-m> but I haven't really checked if that's even possible
[19:59] <WhiteOwl-m> I will take care of that later, the wifi/Music player is my main concern :)
[19:59] <excelsior> llutz: thanks
[19:59] <ubluntu> WhiteOwl-m: mpd is great. try ncmpcpp for the control interface. its written in ncurses and uses the keyboard super easy.
[19:59] <dr_willis> excelsior:  if you are lucky cups can scan the network and find the printer. :)
[19:59] <WhiteOwl-m> uh thanks for the hint man ubluntu
[19:59] <novid> ‎how can i remove completely apache 2?
[20:00] <dr_willis> novid:  how did you install it?
[20:00] <Sparky-UK> skel: i've just fixed it, I removed a smbfs mount that I had, then it booted
[20:00] <WhiteOwl-m> ubluntu, I don't know if you read my issue: wifi :D
[20:00] <novid> ‎dr_willis: i run apt-get purge apache2
[20:00] <excelsior> dr_willis: without the drivers?
[20:00] <WhiteOwl-m> I will probably try to virtualize it on a microsoft home server so I can use my wifi usb stick
[20:01] <alien2050> novid: try sudo apt-get remove --purge apache2
[20:01] <skel> Sparky-UK: heh weird. I didn't think the smb would be it because its net based and the local drive would always be recognized first
[20:01] <ubluntu> WhiteOwl-m: no way to just run a long wire to the room, wifi sucks for media servers of any kind.....
[20:01] <skel> Sparky-UK: good to hear though :)
[20:01] <novid> ‎alien2050: i test it , but there is something related apache2
[20:01] <WhiteOwl-m> yeah the long wire is not possible cause of the door. should be able to close it. the ethernet plug is in my roommates room
[20:01] <alien2050> novid: elaborate?
[20:01] <WhiteOwl-m> I was also thinking about PowerLine but there are too many unresolved issues and it would be cheaper to find a ubuntu-wifi-card I think
[20:01] <bencc> how can I check a package version in a specific repo?
[20:02] <dvrcoder> i need help: 6 ubuntu clients which authenticate with LDAP and mount their homes with NFS. we migrated from an ubuntu server (NFS, LDAP) to a Synology server with LDAP directory and NFS. All users have new UIDs, all files have been assigned the new proper owners. Now seemingly at random, people don't get permission to access their files most of the time.
[20:02] <novid> ‎alien2050:   /etc/init.d/apache2 or a2enmod command
[20:02] <Sparky-UK> skel: what I am guessing the reason is due to an upgrade of the nas and dropping the authentication on the smbfs (as its on a dedicated network now)
[20:02] <WhiteOwl-m> or maybe there are extra-thin ethernet cables I do not know about :)
[20:02] <excelsior> dr_willis: at what point should I try to find the printer with the print manager utility? Only after installing the drivers?
[20:02] <skel> Sparky-UK: ah ok
[20:03] <alien2050> novid: its just an init script, why is it so important that its removed?
[20:03] <dr_willis> excelsior:  yes. even if you found the printer. wouldent make much sence to try it befor hand.. unless you just wanted to see IF it found it.
[20:03] <ubluntu> WhiteOwl-m: i'd see if you can work something out with a wire.
[20:03] <novid> ‎alien2050:   because i cant install libapache2-svn
[20:03] <ubluntu> WhiteOwl-m: and why do you need to virtualize ubuntu in windows? ubuntu is awesome for a media server. you can always dualboot if need be
[20:03] <alien2050> novid: if its unlinked from /etc/rc.x then it's no issue...
[20:03] <dr_willis> excelsior:  my network printer supports several differnt 'printing protocals' so it actually shows up like 6 differnt ways  when cups scans the network for it.
[20:03] <excelsior> dr_willis: I was having trouble finding it before, so I reset the network settings on the printer to factory, and it just found it.
[20:03] <novid> ‎alien2050: i want to reinstall apache2 clean
[20:03] <alien2050> novid: ah! I see...
[20:04] <WhiteOwl-m> my wifi stick is not compatible with ubuntu ;)
[20:04] <WhiteOwl-m> that's why I was thinking about windows
[20:04] <ubluntu> get an intel one
[20:04] <alien2050> sudo apt-get install --reinstall apache2 ?
[20:04] <novid> ‎alien2050:  K09apache2 -> ../init.d/apache2
[20:04] <WhiteOwl-m> any intel?
[20:04] <ubluntu> or use windows im sure you can run a media server from it. I guess :-)
[20:05] <WhiteOwl-m> I really don't wanna use windows, it's like the last resort..
[20:05] <dr_willis> excelsior:  I really like my Wireless Brother laser Printer. :) worked great in Linux.  Now to take a Hammer to the lame 'canon' printer that is a total bear in linux..
[20:05] <ubluntu> WhiteOwl-m: i'd do some research do you need N?
[20:05] <WhiteOwl-m> linux has more possibilities
[20:06] <dr_willis> 'Linux has possibilities'  -> marketing   phrase...
[20:06] <WhiteOwl-m> no, my netgear router does support N but it also supports G and so on
[20:06] <ubluntu> WhiteOwl-m: I feel like pci cards are more reliable also
[20:06] <WhiteOwl-m> yeah I read about that
[20:06] <ubluntu> especially for networking
[20:06] <WhiteOwl-m> was reading that Zyxel G-302 should be working
[20:06] <ubluntu> ic well if it's cheap works and has ok reviews pick it up
[20:06] <WhiteOwl-m> and I didn't find a lot of troubleshoot threads about zyxel g-302 which seems positive :D
[20:06] <alien2050> WhiteOwl-m: if you have 20$ to spare, I had the same issue and I bought the perfect wifi-N usb adapter on newegg, flawless on U11.10
[20:07] <ubluntu> never heard of zyxel tho and i'm an intel man my self
[20:07] <WhiteOwl-m> newegg?
[20:07] <WhiteOwl-m> US/Europe?
[20:07] <alien2050> canada
[20:07] <ubluntu> see there you go WhiteOwl-m pick that one up :-D
[20:07] <alien2050> so US should be same price maybe even less
[20:07] <WhiteOwl-m> do they ship to europe? big issue, otherwise I would pick up a penguin wifi :D
[20:07] <WhiteOwl-m> I'm in switzerland ;)
[20:07] <ubluntu> is that pci-express to support N ? do you have pci-e WhiteOwl-m
[20:07] <alien2050> hmmm... I see... well you might find one on ebay as well
[20:08] <WhiteOwl-m> I have PCI and PCI-e
[20:08] <ubluntu> newegg will international ship won't they ?
[20:08] <ubluntu> try tigerdirect
[20:08] <WhiteOwl-m> what's the name of your wifi alien2050?
[20:09] <alien2050> this badboy is just amazing: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833166056
[20:09] <alien2050> and it's usb
[20:09] <chiiiiiz> hi: I need help with a damaged grub conf
[20:09] <WhiteOwl-m> uh cool it has WPA2 AES
[20:09] <WhiteOwl-m> cause encryption seems to be a big issue in linux too..
[20:09] <ubluntu> wow it's $20 also
[20:09] <WhiteOwl-m> thanks for the hin alien2050
[20:09] <WhiteOwl-m> hint
[20:09] <alien2050> I followed the reviews, they said it worked with ubuntu out-of-the-box , I tried like 5 adapters before this one (even pci ones); it's just the best
[20:10] <WhiteOwl-m> sounds very good
[20:10] <alien2050> bandwidth is very good, never disconnects so there u go
[20:11] <WhiteOwl-m> u just plugged it in? what did you use for configuration? wpa-supplicant?
[20:11] <alien2050> no drivers necessary, just plug in, reboot and it says "wireless networks detected"
[20:11] <WhiteOwl-m> nice
[20:11] <WhiteOwl-m> thanks a lot man, will try to get it :)
[20:12] <epic93> Maybe it's a bit too broad of a question but... is there anything about Ubuntu that is particulary better than other distros that would be worth knowing about?
[20:12] <diverdude> I am trying to enable mod-rewrite like this: a2enmod rewrite   and I get this error: ERROR: Module rewrite not properly enabled: /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/rewrite.load is a real file, not touching it. WHat am I doing wrong?
[20:12] <sskalnik> adduser, not useradd?
[20:12] <llutz> diverdude:  /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/rewrite.load  has to be a link
[20:13] <diverdude> llutz, yes ok...but why isn't it then?
[20:13] <llutz> diverdude: idk, check it
[20:14] <derpladee> hey guys, i accidentally closed down gtk-window-decorator and now all of my windows are missing minimize/maximize/close buttons and that bar that's usually at the top of all windows .. how do i restart it?
[20:15] <WhiteOwl-m> damnit. I knew I've should've moved to canada..
[20:15] <WhiteOwl-m> they only ship domestic it seems
[20:17] <WhiteOwl-m> amazon can't ship it too to switzerland.. damn
[20:17] <dvrcoder> is there a place to look up the default settings for nsswitch.conf and all the pam.d files in the default state, with no ldap or anything enabled?
[20:17] <w30> derpladee, how did you close down the gtk-window-decorator? edit something?
[20:17] <Grymmoire> More than 1600 users, I figured as much
[20:18] <b1tbkt> anyone have an idea how I might coax ubiquity (noninteractive) to perform its install to a disk image rather than a raw disk? trying to create a preconfigured vm during install from a livecd
[20:21] <ossie> so anyone tried out ubuntu tv yet?
[20:21] <Jordan_U> b1tbkt: Why not run the LiveCD in the virtual machine?
[20:21] <diverdude> can somebody do me a favor and pastebin the content of the file /etc/apache2/mods-available/rewrite.conf ?
[20:22] <oCean> osse: maybe try in #ubuntu-offtopic
[20:22] <WhiteOwl-m> thank you alien2050, unfortunately they don't ship to europe ;)
[20:22] <NimeshNeema> text editor for programmer with support for "code folding" ???
[20:22] <peterrus> hey, is there a difference between the ubuntu desktop kernel and the ubuntu server kernel?
[20:23] <sskalnik> peterrus:  https://help.ubuntu.com/10.10/serverguide/C/preparing-to-install.html#intro-kernel-diffs
[20:23] <anshrpr> touchpad and mouse buttons stops working when i log in to my account, while works great under guest account, i'm using ubuntu 11.10
[20:23] <llutz> diverdude: .conf? isn't it  /etc/apache2/mods-available/rewrite.load
[20:24] <peterrus> sskalnik: nice thanks
[20:24] <sskalnik> peterrus:  no prob
[20:24] <b1tbkt> jordan: I'm trying to avoid having to put the livecd image within itself. I just want to the vm install process to get its packages from the livecd's repo.
[20:25] <Jordan_U> b1tbkt: You'll have to be more clear about your end goal. I don't understand what you're trying to accomplish.
[20:25] <almoxarife> anshrpr: thats interesting, i would look at mirroring the guests input-device/s confs in your user account
[20:26] <anshrpr> almoxarife : do you know how to do that?
[20:26] <excelsior> dpkg: error processing hl2280dwlpr-2.1.0-1.i386.deb (--install): package architecture (i386) does not match system (amd64)
[20:26] <chiiiiiz-> invalid filesystem on boot, with a grub2... that can not be repaired... does this ring any bell to someone?
[20:27] <almoxarife> anshrpr: i have not thought about it before, you are on 'ubuntu'?
[20:27] <excelsior> dr_willis: or llutz: dpkg: error processing hl2280dwlpr-2.1.0-1.i386.deb (--install): package architecture (i386) does not match system (amd64)
[20:27] <anshrpr> almoxarife : yes, 11.10
[20:27] <llutz> excelsior: you have to use dpkg --force-architecture ....deb
[20:28] <llutz> excelsior: Brother doesn't ship 64bit-packages
[20:28] <almoxarife> anshrpr: can you access the 'guest' home/folder structure?
[20:29] <b1tbkt> boot live cd -> If desired, select 'Install'. This install process will run through the normal 'install-to-disk' process (using the preseed that I give it). For the 'late-command' option in preseed, I will point it at a script that builds a virtual machine (eg., using virt-install) using another preseed which fully automates the vm installation.....
[20:29] <anshrpr> you mean the Home directory, yes....
[20:29] <almoxarife> anshrpr: from your user account, i dont mean login to 'guest'
[20:29] <kasii> hi all
[20:29] <b1tbkt> I have come up with two ways to accomplish this...sort of...
[20:29] <hateb> how do I remove bluetooth and accounts indicators ?
[20:30] <almoxarife> anshrpr: i will assume yes you can
[20:30] <anshrpr> almoxarife : yes i can
[20:30] <peterrus> hmm this is odd
[20:31] <b1tbkt> most likely candidate is to create a raw disk image with qemu-create, mount it and somehow point ubquity at it in noninteractive mode. then use virt install to create all of the vm metadata.
[20:31] <almoxarife> anshrpr: i guess the next step is figuring where the confs reside, any ideas? Anyone?
[20:31] <b1tbkt> qemu-img create, that is
[20:32] <b1tbkt> I'm basically doing an install within an install
[20:32] <almoxarife> anshrpr: give me a sec, do what i am about to do, google it,brb
[20:32] <excelsior> llutz: thanks
[20:33] <anshrpr> almoxarife : googling :)
[20:33] <diverdude> will /etc/init.d/apache2 restart also do /etc/init.d/apache2 reload ?
[20:34] <dr_willis> excelsior:  hmm. for my brother printer  drivers were included in some extra  file in the repos i think.
[20:35] <dr_willis> excelsior: apt-cache search brother
[20:35] <llutz> dr_willis: unfortunately not for these brother models. those debs work but it is still ugly
[20:35] <dr_willis> llutz:  bummers. :) perhaps in next release they will get updated.
[20:35] <dr_willis> it pays to not buy cutting edge hardware
[20:36] <llutz> dr_willis: better to buy HP :)
[20:37] <dr_willis> My brother was on sale. :) for $90 - replaceing my HP laserjet 6l that i had for 13+ yrs..
[20:37] <BussDriver> man, brother printers are awesome
[20:37] <BussDriver> proving great drivers for all OSes
[20:37] <dr_willis> its just a b/w laser. but it does what i need.
[20:38] <llutz> BussDriver: i would prefer they just push theyr ppds into the public
[20:38] <llutz> dr_willis: same here, bought a hl2250dn after my last laserjet 2200 died :(
[20:39] <BussDriver> just curious - why do you need ppds when they have a whole linux driver suite?
[20:39] <alapi> exit
[20:39] <llutz> BussDriver: because i don't like to have 3rd party debs in the system just for printing
[20:40] <BussDriver> It does so much more than just printing though
[20:40] <HSarena> Hi! I install ubuntu 11.10 on VMware, i update it, but it can't find my graphical drivers! how can i install this additional driver in my ubuntu????
[20:40] <BussDriver> plus, you don't need the package if all you want to do is print
[20:40] <BussDriver> but I agree with your sentiment
[20:41] <llutz> BussDriver:  right, i also want to use the duplex-thingy, which wouldn't work with plain PCL-drvers
[20:41] <dr_willis> PPD's defind the printer specs in ways that cups inderstands. drivers I think provide other thangs :)
[20:41] <HSarena> plz help me..
[20:41] <BussDriver> llutz: Mine lets you scan documents from the printer and send faxes, etc.
[20:42] <dr_willis> HSarena:  vmware emulates specific hardware, so im not sure what 'drivers' you would be needing
[20:42] <dr_willis> !vmware
[20:42] <auronandace> HSarena: pretty hard to do with all the details you provided
[20:42] <llutz> BussDriver: i'm talking about printers, not multifunctional-super-devices :)
[20:42] <BussDriver> llutz: fair enough :)
[20:42] <auronandace> HSarena: ah sorry, missed your post
[20:42] <dr_willis> HSarena:  normally theres some sort of 'guest' addations for vmware, or vbox. that  provide drivers for the os to work better with the  VM.
[20:43] <BarkingFish> evening guys, does anyone on this channel have access to administer the Ubuntu Wiki?  There's a bit of a problem on one of the pages I need, and I don't know whether I am permitted to correct it or what needs doing with it.
[20:43] <kasii> hi
[20:43] <dr_willis> !wiki
[20:44] <dr_willis> Hmm.. You have to register some how to edit the wiki pages dont you.
[20:44] <BarkingFish> I'm not looking for system help, dr_willis - what I have is part of a packaging guide with at least one part of the page, probably two paragraphs, in a foreign language.
[20:45] <BarkingFish> I don't know, looks like spanish, possibly italian, but it's in a packaging guide written in english, which I'm supposed to be learning from :)
[20:45] <Pici> BarkingFish: #ubuntu-doc is the documentation team.
[20:45] <BarkingFish> ok, no probs, I'll send it there :)
[20:45] <BarkingFish> Thanks Pici
[20:46] <wam> heh - this is kinda nice. http://webapps.ubuntu.com/files/marketplace_csv/
[20:50] <ravn2> With what program i can open .docx?
[20:51] <Rogue|Panda_> hello
[20:51] <mcnellis> I'm using a USB DAC on my ThinkPad which is running 11.04 and the DAC works great except that occassionally the audio will cut out. The device still shows in my Sound Preferences, but there's no sound. If I switch the sound device to the internal sound card then sound starts coming out of the speakers, but when I switch back to my DAC i still dont' get anything. If I go into suspend mode and then wake it back up the audio
[20:51] <mcnellis> will stasrt working again. So I'm wondering if there's a specific service like alsa that I can restart without havnig to suspend my computer to get audio out of my DAC again
[20:51] <Rogue|Panda_> ravn2, open office will open that
[20:51] <guntbert> raven: openoffice/libreoffice
[20:51] <gerth> ravn2: libre-office
[20:51] <auronandace> ravn2: try get them to use a better format
[20:52] <ravn2> ok. thx ill try (by the way, libre-office doesnt open :/
[20:52] <Rogue|Panda_> ok, I am trying to hook my TV up to my machine as a monitor, the machine sees the TV but all I get are errors... I have tried every resolution offered with no luck
[20:52] <mcnellis> Rogue|Panda_, You should maybe try changing the refresh rate
[20:52] <Rogue|Panda_> the error is "required virtual size does not fit available size: requested=(2726, 768), minimum=(320, 200), maximum=(1366, 1366)"
[20:52] <gerth> Can somebody look if /lib/modules/3.2.0-8-generic/kernel/drivers/block/loop.ko exists in Precise (amd64 version)
[20:53] <Rogue|Panda_> mcnellis, there is no option for refresh rate
[20:53]  * tommylommykins waves
[20:53] <auronandace> !12.04 | gerth
[20:53] <tommylommykins> is 11.10 still broken on ATI hardware?
[20:53] <Rogue|Panda_> I am using the "displays" dialog
[20:53] <tommylommykins> *ATI graphics hardware
[20:53] <Rogue|Panda_> tommylommykins, you mean is linux still broken on ATI
[20:53] <Rogue|Panda_> lol
[20:53] <dr_willis> Rogue|Panda_:  theres also the monitors dialog.  whats your video chipset?
[20:54] <Rogue|Panda_> dr_willis, dont know off the top of my head
[20:54] <dr_willis> tommylommykins:  it would depend on the exact ati chipset.
[20:54] <dr_willis> Rogue|Panda_:  that would be the first thing to determine.
[20:54] <tommylommykins> dr_willis: Any idea where I can find out?
[20:54] <Rogue|Panda_> looking for it right now
[20:54] <ubuntunoob> anyone know the difference
[20:54] <dr_willis> lspci  should give some info on what video you got.
[20:54] <manonu> Hi
[20:54] <ubuntunoob> when you convert mp3 to ogg?
[20:54] <Vathsal> hi
[20:55] <dr_willis> ubuntunoob:  you can loose quality when doing that.
[20:55] <ActionParsnip> ubuntunoob: it will degrade quality
[20:55] <ubuntunoob> oh
[20:55] <Vathsal> My self vathsal from india
[20:55] <Rogue|Panda_> dr_willis, Mobility Radeon HD 4200
[20:55] <ubuntunoob> is it better to convert from the original to ogg vorbis?
[20:55] <ActionParsnip> !info mp32ogg
[20:55] <Vathsal> i need a small help
[20:55] <ActionParsnip> hmm
[20:55] <dr_willis> Rogue|Panda_:  ati has their own control-panel tool as part of their fglrx drivers i belive
[20:55] <excelsior> llutz: little help?
[20:55] <qmanjr5> How would I go about having a new screen (using GNU screens) start, and then run a command on that screen on startup?
[20:55] <Vathsal> ya
[20:55] <dr_willis> ubuntunoob:  yes.
[20:55] <ActionParsnip> ubuntunoob: converting from a lossy format to another lossy format will reduce quality
[20:56] <llutz> excelsior: with?
[20:56] <ubuntunoob> oh okay thanks parsnip
[20:56] <dr_willis> qmanjr5:  i think you can make a .screenrc that does stuff like that.
[20:56] <Vathsal> ubuntunoob : can u help me please
[20:56] <dr_willis> qmanjr5:  i seem to recall examples of that on various screen guides/faq sites.
[20:56] <ubuntunoob> whats wrong vathsal?
[20:56] <manonu> I'm trying to get a belkin USB wifi working but not having any luck. I just downloaded and installed the latest ubuntu iso and did all the updates, also updated linux-headers-generic, when I run 'lsusb' I see the adapter listed but ifconfig shows nothing... according to this thread http://bit.ly/yiJCoT the model I have should work out of the box with .14 -- what should I try next?
[20:56] <dr_willis> Vathsal:  tell the channel the problem....
[20:57] <excelsior> so I forced installation of the drivers, but now I'm not sure what to do next, I tried the browser approach and the print manager approach, what am I doing wrong?
[20:57] <Rogue|Panda_> still trying to get used to this unity setup
[20:57] <Vathsal> I am unable to create partion in ubuntu
[20:57] <excelsior> I'm stuck where it asks me to choose a driver.
[20:57] <ActionParsnip> excelsior: what drivers did you install?
[20:57] <Vathsal> I am new to ubuntu
[20:57] <dvrcoder> how can I rebuild my nsswitch.conf and pam.d/common-* files from scratch so they run with pam_ldap, and NO pam_ccreds?
[20:57] <gerth> ubotta: I tried the alternate installer (daily builds), but is seems to miss a kernel module
[20:58] <Rogue|Panda_> dr_willis, I never installed the additional drivers so that might be helpful
[20:58] <ActionParsnip> gerth: which release?
[20:58] <Vathsal> I dont get the "New Partion" option
[20:58] <Rogue|Panda_> I thought that I had
[20:58] <llutz> excelsior: browser, localhost:631, add printer, if your printer isn't listed enter it manually using your 2280DW driver and "socket://ip.adr.of.printer" as device
[20:58] <Vathsal> 11.10 release
[20:58] <auronandace> gerth: 12.04 support in #ubuntu+1 please
[20:58] <dr_willis> Vathsal:  whats on your hard drive right now?
[20:58] <excelsior> ok
[20:58] <ActionParsnip> gerth: there is no daily build of 11.10
[20:58] <llutz> excelsior: drvier - Brother - scroll the list, there should be a driver for the 2280dw listed now
[20:58] <Vathsal> nothing willis i formated my complete system as i wanted to move to Open source
[20:59] <Vathsal> now i am struck very badly
[20:59] <gerth> ActionParsnip: 12.04
[20:59] <dr_willis> Vathsal:   the ubuntu installer has a feature to 'use the whole hard drive' and it will auto partiton as needed.
[20:59] <dr_willis> Vathsal:  IF you truely have nothing on the hd you want to keep.
[20:59] <ActionParsnip> gerth: the only daily builds are for Precise pre-release which isn;t supported here. It is supported in #ubuntu+1 until release day
[20:59] <dr_willis> Vathsal:  partioning is not the same as 'formating'
[20:59] <ubuntunoob> also, i was wondering
[20:59] <ubuntunoob> i just got my sansa clip+ today
[21:00] <gerth> ActioParsnip: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily/current/
[21:00] <excelsior> everytime I check, it's not listed. Woops! Found it, missing the - so it's not in the right order
[21:00] <Vathsal> Wills : I have problems with Cisco Webex session hence i want to dual boot Win and Linx
[21:00] <Rogue|Panda_> man, this driver download is slow
[21:00] <ubuntunoob> do i just put it in msc mode to add music to it ?
[21:00] <ubuntunoob> on ubuntu
[21:00] <gerth> auronandace: thanks
[21:01] <ubuntunoob> vathsal, you just create a seperate partition on your harddrive for ubuntu
[21:01] <Vathsal> Wills : i understand, i generally use acronis true image for making partions, but that too is not alowing me create any new partiontion after installing ubutu
[21:02] <ubuntunoob> why dont you use gparted?
[21:02] <Vathsal> ubnoob : no i formatted my 80 gb hdd and ubutu crated one partion for that
[21:02] <ubuntunoob> you have windows on there too or just linux?
[21:02] <Vathsal> ubnoob : i used gparted, there "New Partion" option is diabled
[21:03] <ActionParsnip> Vathsal: are any other partitions on the drive mounted?
[21:03] <Rogue|Panda_> Vathsal, is the drive fully partitioned already?
[21:03] <Vathsal> ubnoob : just linus
[21:03] <ubuntunoob> okay
[21:03] <ubuntunoob> and what rogue panda said
[21:03] <Vathsal> panda : ya fully partioned
[21:04] <Rogue|Panda_> if there is no unused space then it will not allow you... you have to resize/delete another first
[21:04] <ubuntunoob> ^
[21:04] <Rogue|Panda_> be careful with resizing though
[21:04] <ubuntunoob>   ^^
[21:04] <swat1ro> how do you do to install iexplorer in ubuntu?
[21:04] <Rogue|Panda_> make sure that you have a backup.... especially if you are resizing windows
[21:04] <Vathsal> there is 60 gb of space
[21:04] <ubuntunoob> internet explorer?
[21:04] <ActionParsnip> swat1ro: there is ies4linux, it's not great at all
[21:04] <ubuntunoob> why would you want that
[21:05] <Rogue|Panda_> Vathsal, there is 60GB unpartitioned space?
[21:05] <ubuntunoob> just use ff
[21:05] <ActionParsnip> swat1ro: what is the purpose of the app, just to see if you can? or for web testing?
[21:05] <Vathsal> panda: i dont need any backup
[21:05] <ActionParsnip> swat1ro: or even better, chromium :)
[21:05] <ubuntunoob> yeah
[21:05] <KaiSforza> :d
[21:05] <swat1ro> is for cisco client
[21:05] <ubuntunoob> chromium or firefox
[21:05] <Vathsal> panda : u mean unallocated space?
[21:05] <ubuntunoob> either one will work
[21:05] <Rogue|Panda_> "I dont need any backup"... I have said that before
[21:05] <overclucker> !wine | swat1ro
[21:05] <Rogue|Panda_> Vathsal, yeah
[21:06] <ubuntunoob>                             ^
[21:06] <ActionParsnip> swat1ro: cisco use standard stuff, usually you SSH or Telnet to the switches etc
[21:06] <Vathsal> well no
[21:06] <Vathsal> 80 gb is a complete partions
[21:06] <Vathsal> sorry partition
[21:06] <diverdude> hmm its strange... i do gem install bundler <-- it seems to be installing fine. then do do bundle install but then i get bundle: command not found. What am I doing wrong?
[21:06] <Rogue|Panda_> Vathsal, you cant create a partition if there is no where to create it at
[21:06] <ubuntunoob> why dont you just install ubuntu if you have space free?
[21:06] <swat1ro> is to video surveillance, dont run in firefox and chrome
[21:07] <ubuntunoob> well internet explorer isnt going to work in linux
[21:07] <Vathsal> panda but i suppose we should be able to create unallocated space from the free space available on partion
[21:07] <ubuntunoob> the wine performance is crap
[21:07] <Rogue|Panda_> Vathsal, yeah... that is resizing
[21:07] <ubuntunoob> just change the user agent string or something
[21:07] <ActionParsnip> swat1ro: you may need a virtual OS then..
[21:08] <Rogue|Panda_> but you have to have unpartitioned space first before you can creat a new partition
[21:08] <Vathsal> panda: that option too is disabled
[21:08] <Rogue|Panda_> Vathsal, did you click on the partition first?
[21:08] <Siegel-> hello. i just turned my computer on, its been sitting there for 86 days. went to update- it wouldnt update. it got stuck at 23%. i try to surf the net, it wont open any pages. it says im connected. what could be the problem?
[21:08] <Vathsal> ya
[21:08] <Siegel-> i have ubuntu 11.10
[21:08] <diverdude> got it..had to update PATH
[21:08] <Rogue|Panda_> Siegel-, you have no internet
[21:09] <greenit> hi, i does any1 know how to get the music preview back in 11.10? i rly liked it and want it again^^
[21:09] <WhiteOwl-m> :D
[21:09] <Neosano> Siegel-, yeah, internet connection went down
[21:09] <Siegel-> Rogue|Panda_: then how come? it shows im connected, both wired and wireless
[21:09] <Resistance> Neosano: unetbootin requires admin privs to run on Windows
[21:09] <Rogue|Panda_> if you are connected to any type of router it will show that you are connected
[21:09] <Siegel-> Neosano: im using the same connection for this computer
[21:09] <Neosano> Siegel-, that doesn't mean that you have internet
[21:09] <Rogue|Panda_> it *IS* connected to the router
[21:09] <Neosano> Siegel-, oh. strange :\\
[21:09] <Neosano> Siegel-, can you ping it?
[21:09] <swat1ro> I test winxp in virtual box, but the virtual memory video is bad
[21:09] <Siegel-> Rogue|Panda_: i see, but im using the same modem for this computer
[21:09] <Vathsal> panda: is there anyway i can resize ?
[21:09] <Siegel-> Neosano: in terminal? what is the command?
[21:10] <Rogue|Panda_> Siegel-, doesnt mean that they both will have a connetion to the net
[21:10] <Neosano> Siegel-, you have two computers. on one of them type ifconfig and see your ip
[21:10] <Siegel-> Rogue|Panda_: ok its always worked before.
[21:10] <Rogue|Panda_> Siegel-, in term ifconfig and see what you IP is
[21:10] <Neosano> Siegel-, and in another one type ping IP
[21:10] <Siegel-> Neosano: ok
[21:10] <Neosano> Siegel-, where IP is the ip you got
[21:10] <ActionParsnip> Siegel-: stop the install then run:  sudo apt-get -f install      may help
[21:10] <Neosano> Resistance, then why don't you reset admin password? :)
[21:11] <Rogue|Panda_> ActionParsnip, install wont work if the internet aint working lol
[21:11] <Neosano> Resistance, or you can burn a live cd and do it from there
[21:11] <Resistance> Neosano: i cant, i dont own the system :p
[21:11] <Siegel-> Neosano: what is that website where i can paste what i got?
[21:11] <Resistance> Neosano: wish i had extra CDs or DVDs
[21:11] <Neosano> Siegel-, pastebin
[21:11] <Resistance> Neosano: irrelevant now, i found my 10.04 LiveUSB
[21:11] <Neosano> Resistance, :D
[21:11] <Resistance> now i am fscking my drives
[21:11] <Rogue|Panda_> Siegel-, dont paste it
[21:11] <squaregoldfish> skel: Any progress with my thunderbird strace?
[21:11] <Resistance> (and will also have to do some resizing :P
[21:11] <guntbert> !paste | Siegel-
[21:11] <ActionParsnip> Rogue|Panda_: if the debs are already downloaded, a web connection isn't needed....lol
[21:12] <Rogue|Panda_> ActionParsnip, assuming that the files are downloaded
[21:12] <taurus86> !lamp
[21:12] <Rogue|Panda_> I think that the main issue here isnt the install... it is the lack of connection
[21:12] <Siegel-> Neosano: http://paste.ubuntu.com/801069/
[21:12] <ActionParsnip> Rogue|Panda_: its at the install stage from what is said, so the packages are down
[21:12] <Siegel-> Rogue|Panda_: me too
[21:13] <Rogue|Panda_> ActionParsnip, "install" is a very vague term amongst most people
[21:13] <Kuwanger> Hello.  Is there any way to rectify sound lag with pulseaudio in Lucid Lynx?
[21:13] <ActionParsnip> Rogue|Panda_: I guess
[21:13] <Rogue|Panda_> Siegel-, go onto the machine that has no connection
[21:13] <Siegel-> Rogue|Panda_: ok but i dont know what my ip is.
[21:13] <Rogue|Panda_> open term and then "ping google.com"
[21:13] <Rogue|Panda_> with out the ""
[21:13] <ActionParsnip> Kuwanger: try:  killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse*     then wait a little while, then try sound
[21:13] <sskalnik> I keep getting "locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory" on an Ubuntu VPS whenever I try to upgrade anything.
[21:14] <Siegel-> Rogue|Panda_: nothing happens
[21:14] <Neosano> Siegel-, now in another pc type "ping 10.100.101.100"
[21:14] <Rogue|Panda_> then type in ifconfig
[21:14] <Neosano> Resistance, but there are ways to do it without right
[21:14] <Siegel-> Neosano: ok did that, is that my ip?
[21:14] <Rogue|Panda_> Neosano, why would he do that?
[21:14] <Siegel-> it keeps giving similar lines
[21:15] <Siegel-> like
[21:15] <Resistance> Neosano: lemme make this clear: i dont own the system so i dont have legal rights to screw with the settings and passcodes
[21:15] <Siegel-> "64 bytes from...."
[21:15] <Resistance> Neosano: so drop the notion that I can, and leave it be
[21:15] <Neosano> Siegel-, so it pinged without problems? or what?
[21:15] <Siegel-> Neosano: i dont know what it looks like when it pings
[21:15] <Neosano> Resistance, okay, sorry :D
[21:15] <Rogue|Panda_> Siegel-, does it have a time = XXms at the end?
[21:15] <Siegel-> it keeps giving me more lines like that
[21:15] <Siegel-> it has a time=0
[21:16] <Siegel-> .0.456
[21:16] <Siegel-> 0.465
[21:16] <Neosano> yeah
[21:16] <Siegel-> etc
[21:16] <greenit> hi, i does any1 know how to get the music preview back in 11.10? i rly liked it and want it again^^
[21:16] <FloodBot1> Siegel-: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:16] <Siegel-> it changes
[21:16] <Rogue|Panda_> then you have a connection
[21:16] <Siegel-> ok
[21:16] <Siegel-> so why cant i surf?
[21:16] <Rogue|Panda_> have you tried rebooting at all?
[21:16] <Neosano> maybe something wrong with your modem? i don't know, everything seems to be ok
[21:16] <Neosano> you can try restarting it
[21:16] <Siegel-> weird, because its working fine for this computer (the modem)
[21:16] <Rogue|Panda_> Siegel-, have you rebooted it?
[21:17] <Siegel-> Rogue|Panda_: yes like 6 times
[21:17] <Rogue|Panda_> ok
[21:17] <Rogue|Panda_> so you have a connection....
[21:17] <Rogue|Panda_> hmm
[21:18] <Rogue|Panda_> something might have broke during the install
[21:18] <Siegel-> install of what? the updates?
[21:18] <Rogue|Panda_> yeah
[21:18] <Siegel-> thats what i thought
[21:18] <Siegel-> but it wont go beyond 23 percent
[21:18] <Siegel-> so what should i do? reinstall ubuntu? i thought of that, but this computer keeps failing to create the startup disc
[21:19] <Rogue|Panda_> wait... you have started  it over and it still goes to 23 percent?
[21:19] <Siegel-> yes
[21:19] <Rogue|Panda_> errors?
[21:19] <Siegel-> maybe because i havent updated it in 86 days
[21:19] <Siegel-> yes
[21:19] <Siegel-> it gave erros
[21:19] <Siegel-> errors
[21:19] <Rogue|Panda_> dude
[21:19] <FloodBot1> Siegel-: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:19] <Siegel-> something like address does not match host name
[21:20] <Siegel-> should i just reinstall ubuntu?
[21:20] <greenit> i rly want the music preview in 11.10, how do i manage this? plz help :(
[21:20] <Rogue|Panda_> so the reason that it doesnt update is because of some error.... the lack of browsing is probably something different
[21:20] <Siegel-> its weird
[21:20] <excelsior> llutz: another roadblock:  Queue not Enabled ... reason given is "Destination printer does not exist!"... and every time I "enable" it in the policies on the print manager, it immediately resets to off when I click "apply"
[21:20] <Rogue|Panda_> Siegel-, how old is the ubuntu install?
[21:21] <Siegel-> Rogue|Panda_: i guess like two-three days after 11.10 was made available
[21:21] <Siegel-> i think like 3 months
[21:21] <llutz> excelsior: did you enter the correct IP in the device-field? can you ping that ip?
[21:21] <Siegel-> but i dont have that original startup disc anymore
[21:21] <Rogue|Panda_> when you reboot do you instantly start the update? or do you try to use a browser first?
[21:21] <Siegel-> Rogue|Panda_: i tried both
[21:21] <Siegel-> i tried first starting to browse
[21:21] <Siegel-> and vice versa
[21:22] <Resistance> how long usually does partition resizing on an ext4 partition take within gparted on a livecd?
[21:22] <Rogue|Panda_> are you on a home network?
[21:22] <Siegel-> i think so
[21:22] <Rogue|Panda_> not on any kind of work/school network?
[21:22] <Siegel-> what does that mean
[21:22] <Siegel-> its just this ocmputer and the laptop
[21:22] <Siegel-> oh no
[21:22] <Siegel-> home
[21:22] <FloodBot1> Siegel-: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:22] <guntbert> Siegel-: please take it easy on <enter> - you are scrolling the channel fast - making it difficult for all
[21:22] <Rogue|Panda_> you are at home
[21:22] <Siegel-> sorry
[21:23] <Siegel-> Rogue|Panda_: yes i am.
[21:23] <Rogue|Panda_> and it is YOUR network not a neighbors or friends or anything?
[21:23] <Siegel-> yes
[21:23] <Siegel-> mine
[21:23] <Siegel-> it even says my name
[21:23] <Siegel-> SIEGEL
[21:23] <FloodBot1> Siegel-: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:23] <Rogue|Panda_> you are horrible with the enter key
[21:24] <Siegel-> sorry. youre right., but this channel is also a bit of a nazi about that
[21:24] <guntbert> !attitude | Siegel-
[21:24] <Rogue|Panda_> Siegel-, I would say something about it is you were in my channel too
[21:24] <Siegel-> ok fine. im not here to fight omg.
[21:24] <guntbert> Siegel-: how about you slow down on the keyboard and speed up with your brain?
[21:24] <Rogue|Panda_> guntbert, yeah... that didnt match the situation too well lol
[21:25] <guntbert> Rogue|Panda_: true :-/
[21:25] <Rogue|Panda_> "A" for effort though
[21:25] <Siegel-> i said sorry like three times...
[21:25] <Rogue|Panda_> Siegel-, move on
[21:25] <Siegel-> i have
[21:25] <Rogue|Panda_> this channel is  little strict, all you are going to do is get booted
[21:26] <Rogue|Panda_> ok so...
[21:26] <Rogue|Panda_> I would go into the router and see if it is trying to block that machine
[21:27] <Siegel-> ok.
[21:27] <Rogue|Panda_> that would be *my* next stop... but that is just shooting in the dark
[21:27] <Rogue|Panda_> especially if you have a 2wire router
[21:27] <Rogue|Panda_> try power cycling your router... aside from that I am out of ideas
[21:28] <wingnut2626> Hi everyone from delaware usa!
[21:28] <Rogue|Panda_> I gotta head out and pick my kid up from school
[21:28] <ActionParsnip> not a bad idea
[21:28] <Rogue|Panda_> good luck on that man
[21:28] <Kuwanger> ActionParsnip: Nope, that didn't help.  Flash still has lag.  It's one of the few things that seems to, though. :/
[21:28] <Rogue|Panda_> ActionParsnip, that AA degree in Network Security is paying off now! Glad I spent 30K on it
[21:28] <Rogue|Panda_> lol
[21:28] <Rogue|Panda_> OK, I will be back
[21:28] <ravn2> what to do, if i installed open office, but i cant find it in my computer?
[21:29] <blitz> AA?
[21:29] <Rogue|Panda_> associates degree
[21:29] <excelsior> llutz: where do I find the ip in the device field? Is it a pure numeric ip?
[21:29] <blitz> how did you install it ravn2 ?
[21:29] <blitz> AA is alcoholics anonymous here
[21:29] <blitz> you don't want one of those degrees
[21:29] <ravn2> by ubuntu software center?
[21:29] <excelsior> dnssd://Brother%20HL-2280DW._ipp._tcp.local/
[21:29] <excelsior> ?
[21:29] <ActionParsnip> Rogue|Panda_: its most of my job; turning junk off and on
[21:29] <Rogue|Panda_> blitz, it is here too
[21:30] <wingnut2626> Haha you guys are crazy
[21:30] <novid> ‎i cant install libapache2-svn with apt-get install
[21:30] <Rogue|Panda_> actually I have an AAS but either way... not much help getting a job round here
[21:30] <ravn2> blitz how what kind of install would be correct? :)
[21:30] <llutz> excelsior: you should have been asked for a device/port when installing the printer. there you should have entered "socket://192.168.x.y"   or whatever your printers IP is
[21:30] <U-b-u-n-t-u> what is the best text to speech app for Ubuntu?
[21:30] <ActionParsnip> Kuwanger: can you give the output of:  lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'
[21:30] <llutz> excelsior: i have to leave now, good luck
[21:30] <blitz> no thats fine ravn, u have unity?
[21:30] <ActionParsnip> U-b-u-n-t-u: there is no singlebest app for anything in any OS
[21:30] <ravn2> what is unity?
[21:31] <excelsior> llutz: thanks
[21:31] <hateb> any good autohotkey alternative for ubuntu ?
[21:31] <LjL> U-b-u-n-t-u: festival is probably the best speech synth, but it's still a far cry from professional ones
[21:31] <ActionParsnip> U-b-u-n-t-u: espeak is available, as is festival
[21:31] <blitz> do you have ubuntu 11.10 ravn2 ?
[21:31] <excelsior> llutz: it's assigning ip by dhcp is that ok?
[21:31] <ActionParsnip> !shortcut | hateb
[21:31] <ravn2> blitz, tea 11.10
[21:32] <ravn2> yea*
[21:32] <blitz> it should come with open office
[21:32] <ActionParsnip> hateb: compiz can handle shortct stuffs easily

[21:33] <LjL> U-b-u-n-t-u: i'm afraid it's the best you're going to get, at least from Ubuntu repo (it's possible there are varyingly licensed voices for Festival around, but i wouldn't know)
[21:34] <U-b-u-n-t-u> thank you LjL
[21:34] <ravn2> blitz, it doesnt show me openoffice :/
[21:34] <blitz> but it is listed in ubuntu's software center for installed?
[21:34] <guntbert> ravn2: did you install openoffice or libreoffice?
[21:34] <ravn2> yea
[21:35] <blitz> have you tried running it from terminal
[21:35] <ravn2> now i have both. libreoffice shows, but openoffice no. guntbert
[21:35] <ravn2> libreoffice doesnt open my docx file ;/
[21:35] <LjL> U-b-u-n-t-u: ah wait there's Pico TTS from Google now too, that could be a good choice... not sure how well it works under Ubuntu, i've just realized it's there (at least in Precise)
[21:35] <novid> ‎ActionParsnip:  but there is no solution in this page :(
[21:36] <guntbert> ravn2: I'm not sure but they might conflict
[21:36] <U-b-u-n-t-u> looking
[21:36] <novid> ‎ActionParsnip: I've tried deleting apache2, svn and libapache2-svn and reinstalling but still get the error.
[21:36] <blitz> maybe you can find an extension for libreoffice that allows for docx ravn2
[21:37] <guntbert> ravn2: then openoffice will not either - libreoffice is well ahead
[21:37] <ravn2> hm... ok ill try :) thx
[21:37] <blitz> open office has had support for docx for a while now
[21:37] <ActionParsnip> novid: http://justlinux.com/forum/showthread.php?t=146118
[21:37] <guntbert> ravn2: I suspect your file is damaged
[21:37] <ravn2> hm.. ill check
[21:38] <LjL> U-b-u-n-t-u: just tried it, i'd say it works well enough. install "libttspico-utils" and then use "pico2wave"
[21:38] <LjL> U-b-u-n-t-u: that's assuming it exists in versions prior to Precise
[21:38] <ActionParsnip> novid: fyi, I don't use any of what you are having issues with. I'm simply searching the web....

[21:42] <w_a> PCI Express
[21:42] <ActionParsnip> ravn2: oowriter    I believe
[21:42] <ActionParsnip> w_a: if you run:  lspci   then you will see an identifier, rather than the make and model which is fairly useless.
[21:43] <ActionParsnip> w_a: you need the driver for the chip on the device

[21:46] <Kuwanger> ActionParsnip: Sorry for taking so long, I was playing Rokko-chan (a Mega Man clone).
[21:46] <ActionParsnip> ravn2: or:   soffice   may do it too
[21:47] <w_a> ActionParsnip  can i pm a pastebin link of the info from lspci. Cant see anyting about chipset there.
[21:47] <ActionParsnip> Kuwanger: its having issues as you ave too many flash plugins, they conflict and you get issues
[21:47] <ActionParsnip> w_a: paste the pastebin link in the channel please
[21:47] <w_a> http://pastebin.com/2BH65FBw
[21:48] <Kuwanger> ActionParsnip: Um, I only installed gnash a short while ago.  Ie, I have been having lag with flash for a while and I don't even think the running Chromium is aware of gnash.  I can remove it and I'm certainly it'll still lag.
[21:48] <Bl4ckAbby> I'm on lucid. Recently installed updates on "dpkg" packages. Now I can't install updates for most softwares with "apt-get update"/"apt-get upgrade" anymore, because of lots of "version number does not start with digit" errors. Any idea how to fix that?
[21:48] <w_a> think it must be that card.
[21:48] <ActionParsnip> Kuwanger: sudo dpkg -P libflash0c2 kwordquiz; sudo apt-get --purge remove gnash-common gnash adobe-flashplugin adobe-flash-properties-kde; sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin
[21:49] <ActionParsnip> Kuwanger: that long command will remove ALL flash plugins, then install ONLY the adobe flash plugin
[21:49] <Kuwanger> ActionParsnip: Okay.
[21:49] <dvrcoder> Is the gnome keyring somehow bound to the uid? We had to migrate tons of stuff around and manually reassign uids, now people can't unlock their keyrings
[21:49] <Somelauw> Hi, in ~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list what should be the target for latex?
[21:50] <Siegel-> just wanted to say thanks. i fixed the problem. the router wasnt hooked up properly
[21:50] <ActionParsnip> w_a: and that's the output of:    lspci
[21:50] <ActionParsnip> Siegel-: d'oh
[21:50] <ravn2> a... it was coomand.. oowriter it said that open office isnt installed, then i write soffice it shows me libra icon on my face, and gone.. as it does when i opening it not form terminal
[21:50] <Siegel-> i know haha
[21:50] <ActionParsnip> ravn2: ok, but any text in the terminal
[21:50] <w_a> only for the card. il do a pastbind for whole system
[21:51] <ravn2> Bus error
[21:51] <ActionParsnip> ravn2: ok now you have something you can search for
[21:51] <Siegel-> but i do have a curious question. the wireless never worked on my laptop before. it just didnt pick up on it. i did nothing. today when i turned it on for the first time after 3 months a little wifi icon lit up on the keyboard and the wireless connection was established for the first time. how come it never worked before?
[21:51] <w_a> only for the card. il do a pastbind for whole system. what -v ?
[21:51] <ravn2> thx
[21:51] <ActionParsnip> ravn2: could try:  mv ~/.libreoffice ~/.libreoffice_old   then try running libreoffice as you expect
[21:51] <ActionParsnip> w_a: just:  lspci    is fine

[21:53] <ActionParsnip> Somelauw: should do
[21:53] <w_a> thanks
[21:53] <yermandu> ActionParsnip: solved ;)
[21:53] <ActionParsnip> w_a: the ID is: Multimedia controller: Device dd01:0003      I shoved that in duckduckgo and that was the top result
[21:54] <w_a> ok
[21:55] <ActionParsnip> w_a: in Linux, use the ID, not the make and model of things, youo'll find results faster. What is printed on the device doesn't tell you what you need
[21:55] <ActionParsnip> w_a: that wiki was last updated 1 month ago, which is reassuring
[21:55] <w_a> thanks for the info,
[21:57] <ActionParsnip> w_a: you need to hone your websearching too young grasshopper :)
[21:57] <Kuwanger> ActionParsnip: Okay, I ran the command line until it finished.  I then restarted Chromium.  Flash still has sound lag.
[21:58] <ActionParsnip> Kuwanger: is sound ok in Unity2D (assuming you use Unity)>
[21:58] <Kuwanger> ActionParsnip: Um, isn't Unity for Maverick+?
[21:58] <w_a> :-)
[21:58] <ActionParsnip> Kuwanger: natty +
[21:58] <Kuwanger> ActionParsnip: Ah, I see.  Well, like I said, I'm using Lucid Lynx, so no.
[21:58] <ActionParsnip> Kuwanger: ah, you are on Lucid
[21:58] <Bl4ckAbby> Anybody knows how to get rid of the "version number does not start with a digit" errors when using apt-get upgrade ?
[21:58] <w_a> did only try googel with the name of the card., works fine with the id :-)
[21:58] <MissTwist> Hello
[21:58] <ActionParsnip> Kuwanger: press ALT+F2 and run:  metacity --replace    is it better?
[21:59] <ActionParsnip> w_a: ;) thats the secret
[21:59] <Kuwanger> ActionParsnip: I'm actually using Icewm.
[21:59] <dr_willis> Old Skool Icewm. :)
[21:59] <ActionParsnip> Kuwanger: really,wow. What spec is the system?
[21:59] <Kuwanger> ActionParsnip: 3000+ Sempron with 1.25GB of RAM
[21:59] <w_a> might work now, did almost  order me a new card ehhe
[21:59] <ActionParsnip> Kuwanger: and what GPU?
[22:00] <Kuwanger> ActionParsnip: Geforce 6200
[22:00] <hateb> I have a problem with HDMI - how do I set it up with nvidia x server, I wanna have same thing on both monitors
[22:00] <ActionParsnip> Kuwanger: is it an Asus P1-AH2 Pundit?
[22:00] <dr_willis> hateb:  the nvidia-settings tool shoudl let you configure that stuff.
[22:00] <ActionParsnip> Kuwanger: sounds like my media PC
[22:00] <dr_willis> hateb:  after you install the nvidia drivers, reboot, and run the nvidia-settings tool.
[22:01] <hateb> I'm running it right now but it doesn;t work as it should
[22:01] <ActionParsnip> Kuwanger: did you install the nvidia proprietary drivers?
[22:01] <Kuwanger> ActionParsnip: No, it's a Compaq Presario (I think) with a Asus "Keleut " board.  Yes, I have the proprietary drivers since the Lucid nouveau drivers don't do 3D. :)
[22:02] <dr_willis> hateb:  you have to enable twinview, then save the xorg.conf then restart the X server i recall.
[22:02] <ActionParsnip> Kuwanger: I've ran a full gnome+compiz on that sort of thing with no issues
[22:02] <ActionParsnip> Kuwanger: same with all users (Make a new user if necessary)
[22:03] <Kuwanger> ActionParsnip: Well, I migrated the HD from a 500Mhz 256MB system.  And my toying with xcompmgr under Icewm just indicates to me that using compositing uses more, not less, CPU time. :/
[22:04] <chamallow> bonsoir
[22:06] <figure002> it
[22:06] <ravn2> ActionParsnip, it shows me this:

[22:07] <palladin35y> guys where can i get games for my machine
[22:08] <Grymmoire> I tried to put terminal in the launcher since I use it so much, it didn't have an icon and I didn't like that it didn't show when in use anymore, so I removed it from the launch now it doesn't appear there anymore at all so if I minimize the terminal I can't close it
[22:08] <xangua> from the software center palladin35y
[22:08] <dr_willis> palladin35y:  software center has a seletion of games.
[22:08] <dr_willis> palladin35y:  then theres other linux game sites.
[22:09] <Grymmoire> I am on the latest ubuntu version that is running unity
[22:09] <dr_willis> palladin35y:  most of the comercial 'humble' bundle packages also have linux ports
[22:09] <palladin35y> thanks guys new to this lol
[22:09] <xangua> Grymmoire: gnome terminal does have an icon, you can also just press 'Control+Alt+T'  to open a terminal
[22:09] <now-office> HI i try to install an Ubuntu server.. is here an minimum requerement for the server hardware?
[22:10] <dr_willis> now-office:  whats your system specs?
[22:10] <Grymmoire> Is there any way to make the terminal reappear in the launcher when I use it or am I pretty much done with the built in terminal?
[22:10] <auronandace> !specs | now-office
[22:10] <dr_willis> Grymmoire:  i just pin the gnome-terminal to the panel
[22:10] <now-office> amd 1300 mbh
[22:10] <magicJ> I have a system where lp works most of the time - from time to time, right now for example, it reports that the printer is stopped and queues jobs - the printer is fine, I can copy directky to it, if I re-boot the jobs come out - what is setting this status and how do I unset it
[22:11] <dr_willis> now-office:  should do server fine.  depends on what you are doing with the server also.
[22:11] <diverdude> ok this is really weird.  The gemfile and gemfile.lock directories are located inside a script...i dont get this...why make things so weird? The content of /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/rails-3.1.3/bin/rails is this: somehttps://gist.github.com/1597078   How do i enter this "directory" ?
[22:11] <Grymmoire> Searching up Gnome Terminal gives me the same terminal I was just using
[22:11] <dr_willis> Grymmoire:  tnome-terminal is the default 'terminal' app for ubuntu. what are you tyring to do exactly?
[22:11] <Grymmoire> 'Cept it still isn't pinning to the launcher when it's open anymore
[22:12] <misterm> can I set what partition my home directory is AFTER an install?
[22:12] <dr_willis> misterm:  you can move /home/ to some other filesystem.. yes
[22:12] <Grymmoire> I pinned the Terminal to the launcher, as in, for good, removed it, now it won't show up there when I run it anymore
[22:12] <now-office> dr_willis> Im just having it for some home server and for dev joomla ect
[22:13] <misterm> dr_willis: I forgot to specify during the isntall that I wanted dev/sda6 to be my home directory - but I did set the / one
[22:13] <dr_willis> misterm:  you could even set it up where just specific users have their homes on sda6 if you wanted to get fancy
[22:14] <now-office> it seems that i just had to get in contact with you.
[22:14] <misterm> dr_willis: so I didn't completely bork my install
[22:14] <Benxyzzy> My screen just locked up and I had to reboot with CTRL+ALT+F1 terminal. Like the display was 'frozen' - cursor still moved and would change on hovering over browser links, but the picture on my screen wouldn't change. Am I right to think that X
[22:14] <Benxyzzy>  locked up?
[22:14] <dr_willis> misterm:  its not to hard to move /home/ around.
[22:15] <misterm> dr_willis: how does one do that? fdisk?
[22:15] <dr_willis> misterm:  has nothing to do with fdisk at all...
[22:15] <misterm> usermod?
[22:15] <dr_willis> misterm:  make a proper entry in /etc/fstab to mount home where you want. copy all current user dirs over to it.
[22:15] <dr_willis> !movehome
[22:16] <dr_willis> i always have my /home/ on its own hard drive. :)
[22:17] <zomGreg> right, but let's say it's not blessed, what will choosing L do?

[22:23] <hwilde> benbro, you totally just said its url
[22:23] <dr_willis> everytime ive ever added a 3rd party repo. its always perfered the packages in the new repos over the ones in the defaults
[22:23] <benbro> hwilde: when I use apt-cache show, it gives me the package I want but when trying to install it, it uses the one from canonical repo
[22:24] <hwilde> benbro,   actually did you even look at that page you linked dude it has instructions
[22:24] <benbro> dr_willis: for me it didn't
[22:24] <hwilde> benbro, read your own link https://labs.ericsson.com/apis/web-real-time-communication/downloads
[22:24] <hwilde> it tells you step by step how to install it
[22:24] <benbro> hwilde: no I didn't. I didn't even tried it. you are so smart. thank you
[22:24]  * hwilde +1
[22:24] <benbro> hwilde: actually read the page? it's so smart
[22:25] <dr_willis> reading is for wimps! :)
[22:25] <benbro> if you'll try it you'll see that it doesn't work
[22:25] <benbro> it install the default repo
[22:25] <wingnut2626> Looks like cleaner air than here
[22:26] <dr_willis> if the default repo has a newer version you would need to use teh Pinning feature to perfer the other version i belive

[22:31] <diverdude> i need to update ruby gems, so i do sudo gem install rubygems-update, but this only gives me version 1.3.7 and echoe requires RubyGems version >= 1.8.4. How do i update them properly in the system?
[22:32] <diverdude> dr_willis, can you help me?
[22:33] <dr_willis> diverdude:  i dont use ruby, so not really
[22:33] <dr_willis> diverdude:  find a newer ppa, or use source i guess
[22:34] <dr_willis> i only barely knoiw what a ruby 'gem' is...
[22:34] <benbro> dr_willis: works. thanks
[22:34] <diverdude> dr_willis, its says that: If you really know what you are doing, you can still update rubygems by setting the REALLY_GEM_UPDATE_SYSTEM environment variable, but please remember that this is completely unsupported by Debian.
[22:34] <dr_willis> diverdude:  so... :) do you really know what youa re doing? :)
[22:34] <diverdude> dr_willis, but when i try to do echo $REALLY_GEM_UPDATE_SYSTEM it does not exist
[22:35] <dr_willis> diverdude:  its not set.. so it dosent exist..
[22:35] <dr_willis> export FOO=bar
[22:35] <diverdude> dr_willis, no....but ubuntu is just so darn limited in its package versions :(
[22:35] <dr_willis> export VARNAME="value"
[22:36] <diverdude> dr_willis, but it does not say what to set the value to
[22:36] <BladeMcCool> is it even possible to secure a vps against the vps hosting company? is there some way to leverage say, encryption, to only allow certain encryption keyholders to be able to get ssh or any access to the server? something tells me the vps provider will always be able to get root access if they want it.
[22:36] <dr_willis> diverdude:  i have no idea.. set it to anything perhaps?
[22:36] <dr_willis> export VARNAME="true"
[22:36] <dr_willis> diverdude:  it may be saying IF its set at all....
[22:37] <ianb5> if I copy the dists/ directory from the 10.04 CD image into a local directory, would that work as a local mirror that would work for automated installs?
[22:38] <skone> I just created a couple users and don't want to give them access to sudo.  How do I do that from a command prompt?
[22:39] <sskalnik> BladeMcCool:  If you're in need of that level of security, you may want to try something other than a VPS.
[22:39] <intok> Is there currently anything in the repos that will play Pandora radio? I tried Pithos and it wont log in
[22:39] <glebihan> skone, you don't have anything to do
[22:40] <sskalnik> BladeMcCool:  Do you have reason to believe your provider would try to mess with your box?
[22:40] <diverdude> dr_willis, damn :( now i broke everything
[22:40] <skone> well, I just created a new user and su to that user and it let me sudo
[22:40] <diverdude> advice to everybody...stay far away from ruby on rails
[22:40] <dr_willis> never used RubyOnRales, never needed to. :)
[22:41] <ianb5> diverdude, have you tried using RVM (Ruby Version Manager)?
[22:41] <diverdude> dr_willis, good...and never do it. I am installing a webfrontend for git...and for some f.... reason they have chosen ruby on rails
[22:41] <glebihan> skone, really ? didn't you get an error after typing the password for sudo ?
[22:42] <dr_willis> intok:  perhaps here -> http://linuxappfinder.com/package/pandora-radio
[22:42] <skone> glebihan: no, I typed sudo then entered the user I created password and it worked
[22:42] <glebihan> skone, how did you create the user ?
[22:42] <auronandace> glebihan: what groups did he give the users access to?
[22:43] <skone> glebihan: just sudo adduser
[22:43] <glebihan> auronandace, he would probably know that better than me
[22:43] <glebihan> skone, are those users in the admin group ?
[22:43] <skone> I didnt put them in there
[22:44] <BladeMcCool> sskalnik: its probably going to be hosting some forex related stuff for people in iran to use -- major target for governmental weiner types to think about trying to mess with i think :(
[22:44] <glebihan> skone, ok, but are they in the group ?
[22:44] <skone> working on checking.  trying to remember how
[22:45] <glebihan> skone, cat /etc/group | grep admin
[22:45] <skone> they are not
[22:45] <glebihan> skone, or just "grep admin /etc/group" actually

[22:45] <iToast> both are 160 gb.
[22:46] <iToast> Ubuntu raids them as 320 gb
[22:46] <glebihan> skone, what does your /etc/sudoers file look like ?
[22:46] <Mike9863> Is there anyway to get the ScreenRuler program on 11.10? It's not in the repository anymore and whenever I try to install it from .deb or other sources I get dependency errors.
[22:46] <iToast> I want it to raid as 160gb so one drive can die and the system continues
[22:46] <skone> that user is in there
[22:47] <skone> glebihan: I know I didnt put them in there though
[22:48] <dr_willis> !raid
[22:48] <glebihan> skone, really weird...
[22:48] <sskalnik> BladeMcCool:  Ah, I see then. I suppose you could encrypt everything and do other basic securing of the system, but if the provider wants to do horrible things, they could get around your efforts. I would focus more on choice of provider than technical resolutions.
[22:48] <skone> glebihan: I didnt even know where the file was :)
[22:49] <skone> glebihan: one more thing, and I can probably google it, but with sudo can I have a seperate sudo password than my user password or would I just have to enable the root account to do that?
[22:49] <glebihan> skone, well, use "sudo visudo" to remove the user from there (be careful, if you remove a line you shouldn't have, your main user could also end up not being able to use sudo)
[22:49] <glebihan> skone, sudo cannot use a separate password
[22:49] <skone> glebihan: i just cut that line out and verified the admin group was listed in there
[22:50] <skone> glebihan:hmmm, do they recommend that type of confg on server based installs?
[22:50] <glebihan> skone, remember to use visudo in the future, it's a lot safer (it checks the file's syntax before letting you save it)
[22:50] <skone> k
[22:51] <glebihan> skone, IMO, it doesn't make a difference
[22:51] <glebihan> skone, just make sure the password is string enough
[22:51] <glebihan> s/string/strong
[22:52] <skone> but I have ssh limited to this account and if someone get my password they have root access.  If I have a seperate root account and disable ssh on the root account then they would need two passwords to get in
[22:54] <glebihan> skone, well, not really sure what to tell you there. Maybe you should just do what makes you the most comfortable (or ask in #ubuntu-server,maybe they can give better advice on this there)
[22:55] <janderson91z> hey guys, i'm using xubuntu 11.10. i moved from ubuntu because i like xfce a lot but i have a problem. with the default drivers for my ati card on ubuntu, i had no screen tearing, but in xubuntu i do. how can i fix this without using the proprietary driver?
[22:55] <sammy> anyone know what {a} means after a package to be installed with apt-get?
[22:58] <basso> lol, had to install a new kernel to remove the skype-system-freeze
[22:59] <edbian> nobody needs help with anything?
[23:00] <sammy> edbian: what does {a} mean after a package to be installed with apt-get
[23:00] <sammy> :P
[23:00] <edbian> sammy, can you pastebin an example of this {a} ?
[23:00] <janderson91z> i do
[23:00] <janderson91z> i'm using xubuntu 11.10. i moved from ubuntu because i like xfce a lot but i have a problem. with the default drivers for my ati card on ubuntu, i had no screen tearing, but in xubuntu i do. how can i fix this without using the proprietary driver?
[23:00] <edbian> sammy, I don't remember ever seeing it
[23:01] <edbian> janderson91z, can you pastebin the output of sudo lspci -k   for me?
[23:01] <edbian> janderson91z, paste.ubuntu.com
[23:02] <janderson91z> http://paste.ubuntu.com/801163/
[23:03] <edbian> janderson91z, You're currently using radeon.  There are only two options for ATI cards (radeon and the closed source fglrx)
[23:04] <edbian> janderson91z, I'm not sure why there is tearing in xbuntu but not ubuntu.  Why did you not just install xfce in ubuntu?  (why did you switch distros?)
[23:04] <dr_willis> ubuntu's compiz has settings to enable vblank/vsync that can help reduce tearing.
[23:05] <edbian> it probably is a compiz setting that is the difference
[23:05] <dr_willis> most of the video players have similer settings.
[23:05] <intok> Is there currently anything in the repos that will play Pandora radio? I tried Pithos and Pianobar, neither will log in, Pianobar spitting out: (i) Login... Error: Protocol incompatible. Please upgrade libpiano.
[23:06] <janderson91z> maybe. i was using the opensource driver in both. and i switched back to xubuntu instead of just installing xfce in ubuntu because i've been distro hopping
[23:06] <janderson91z> i had mint 12 running, then removed and went back to xubuntu
[23:06] <edbian> intok, did you install libpiano ?  (also, any browser with flash can play pandora)
[23:06] <dr_willis> intok:  looks like you need a newer verison of libpiano - perhaps theres a PPA of it.
[23:06] <janderson91z> i don't like unity so there's not point in me using regular ubuntu
[23:06] <edbian> janderson91z, mess around in ccsm for the setting dr_willis mentioned
[23:06] <edbian> janderson91z, You can install xfce in 'regular' ubuntu
[23:07] <janderson91z> i know, but why have all the gnome packages when i don't need them?
[23:07] <ubluntu> janderson91z: you can remove them all...
[23:07] <intok> edbian yes, but this is an older box, I'm not installing Flash as it grinds everything to a halt if I open the site.
[23:07] <dr_willis> xubuntu uses a lot of gnome stuff any way i belive.. so i doubt if theres much differnt in disk space used.
[23:08] <janderson91z> edbian, i thought xubuntu didn't use ccsm?
[23:08] <janderson91z> compiz that is
[23:08] <dr_willis> xubuntu uses xfce and that uses xfwm
[23:08] <dr_willis> xfwm may have similer settingts
[23:08] <edbian> janderson91z, it isn't installed by default. but you can use compiz / ccsm in xfce (xubuntu or ubuntu)
[23:08] <AntiCasp3r> got a fresh ubuntu 11.10 64 bit installation,. my prob is the sound doesnt work. nothing is muted and onboard soundcard is detected
[23:08] <janderson91z> how can i edit xfwm? is there a gui editor?
[23:08] <AntiCasp3r> any idea?
[23:08] <edbian> intok, make sure everything is updated
[23:09] <ubluntu> AntiCasp3r: what sound card?
[23:09] <AntiCasp3r> ubluntu, default one Intel HDA i think
[23:10] <intok> edbian it is, but just as watching youtube in Movieplayer, that all goes south not long after distro update as the protocols change and the repos aren't updated till the next release
[23:10] <zuhaitz> My flash player is really slow...
[23:10] <dr_willis> I tend to just use the various flash downloader plugins.
[23:10] <zuhaitz> only works at small screen no at full screen and HD imposible
[23:10] <dr_willis> and watch things that way.
[23:11] <dr_willis> Youtube has the html5  feature also that may help.
[23:11] <michaelgamble> hey
[23:11] <zuhaitz> why flash sucks with intel?
[23:11] <dr_willis> zuhaitz:  'flash sucks'   is more correct. :)
[23:11] <michaelgamble> is their a way to figure out what version of ubuntu a system is running?
[23:11] <tzanger> good afternoon... I got myself in a bit of a jam. I accidentally cpio -i'd without removing the aboslute pathnames, and now there are several basic filesystem components that are well and truly buggered (/bin/sh, uname, [, etc. etc.) -- is there a way I can boot from the usb key and reinstall the basic filesystem components again?
[23:11] <Ubluntuu> michaelgamble: lsb_release -a
[23:11] <AntiCasp3r> uname -a
[23:12] <zuhaitz> dr_willis, i have a nvidia card pc with ubuntu 11.10 gnome 3 shell firefox and flash works ok
[23:12] <zuhaitz> same conf here but with intel card and sucks a lot...
[23:12] <zuhaitz> and is a nice card
[23:12] <AntiCasp3r> got a fresh ubuntu 11.10 64 bit installation,. my prob is the sound doesnt work. nothing is muted and onboard soundcard is detected
[23:12] <intok> zuhaitz dr_willis I use Ant video downloader, Youtube HTLM5 beta and this search plugin http://mycroft.mozdev.org/search-engines.html?name=Youtube+WebM
[23:12] <AntiCasp3r> any idea?
[23:12] <zuhaitz> it should work,
[23:12] <dr_willis> zuhaitz:  flash has a long history of issues..
[23:12] <edbian> intok, yes, this is a silly problem.
[23:12] <ubluntu> AntiCasp3r: what kind of sound card ?
[23:12] <dr_willis> Hopefully someday soon flash will go they way of 'realplayer'
[23:13] <AntiCasp3r> ubluntu, onboard Intel High Definiton Audio
[23:13]  * edbian misses realplayer
[23:13]  * dr_willis dosent.
[23:13]  * intok wishes Google would finally put a bullet in Flash
[23:13] <WindowsMojave> Hello
[23:14] <AntiCasp3r> ubluntu, i have also 10.10 and sound works fine. so it just have to be a wrong setting
[23:14] <WindowsMojave> Why would Ubuntu 11.10 just boot to a blank screen on my system and then make my monitor go into sleep mode?
[23:14] <WindowsMojave> I've tried enabling Nomodeset to no avail
[23:14] <dr_willis> WindowsMojave:  whats your video chiset?
[23:14] <WindowsMojave> I have an AMD APU.  Is the APU supported in the kernel Ubuntu 11.10 offers?
[23:14] <ubluntu> AntiCasp3r: AntiCasp3r cat /proc/asound/card0/codec* | grep Codec
[23:14] <WindowsMojave> I cant.. Ubuntu wont boot
[23:15] <AntiCasp3r> ubluntu, Codec: VIA VT1705
[23:15] <dr_willis> WindowsMojave:  try the grub recovery mode yet?
[23:15] <WindowsMojave> dr_willis is the APU supported in the kernel Uubntu offers yet?
[23:15] <WindowsMojave> grub recovery mode?
[23:15] <dr_willis> WindowsMojave:  ive never heard the term 'APU' befor.
[23:15] <html> WindowsMojave,  that a good question
[23:15] <dr_willis> grub menu has a recovery option to get to a terminal. where you can do debuging/try to fix thinghs
[23:16] <WindowsMojave> AMD APU = AMD Fusion
[23:16] <dr_willis> Never heard of that befor. I dont mess with AMD/ati any more these days
[23:16] <edbian>  = a CPU that does graphics as well (I believe)
[23:17] <WindowsMojave> I have the AMD A6-3600 APU
[23:17] <ubluntu> AntiCasp3r: and the card shows up in alsamixer ? I have an intel hd but not that codec and some times I have to go in and unmute one by one till it works again
[23:17] <WindowsMojave> To me it looks like it isnt supported yet.. as this is a new CPU
[23:17] <diki> may someone tell me
[23:17] <diki> what exactly /dev/mem is?
[23:17] <EvilResistance> diki:  i think its the RAM
[23:18] <AntiCasp3r> ubluntu, ye its in alsamixer and nothing important is muted
[23:18] <WindowsMojave> I have: AMD A6-3600 APU with Radeon HD 6530D
[23:18] <ubluntu> AntiCasp3r: nothing shows MM ?
[23:19] <edbian> WindowsMojave, why do you keep saying that?
[23:19] <WindowsMojave> To get your attention :P
[23:19] <intok>  dr_willis AMD's current low to mid end systems, the range from a full x86-64 CPU core @1Ghz w/ 267 Mhz 80 shader GPU all the way to a quad @ 3Ghz 400 shader GPU at 800Mhz(?), it's a step down from a full SoC, it's the CPU, GPU, memory controller and northbridge all rolled into one chip
[23:19] <edbian> You have my attention
[23:19] <WindowsMojave> So you can solve my issue
[23:19] <EvilResistance> !repeat | WindowsMojave
[23:19] <edbian> WindowsMojave, which is what?
[23:19] <EvilResistance> !patience | WindowsMojave, also:
[23:19] <AntiCasp3r> ubluntu, MM??
[23:20] <EvilResistance> oh wait, those are aliased
[23:20] <EvilResistance> >.>
[23:20] <WindowsMojave> edbian, Ubuntu 11.10 on my machine just boots to a blank screen and then it makes my monitor go into sleep mode
[23:20] <WindowsMojave> And it just sits there...
[23:20] <WindowsMojave> I tried enabling nomodeset but it still doesn't boot
[23:20] <ubluntu> AntiCasp3r: MM means its muted. can you open the file sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf for me ?
[23:20] <yuler> Using Ubuntu 10.10, Gnome2, Metacity.  Every application ran has a duplicate tray, a few pixels wide, in the bottom panel.  I was unable to find anything related when I browsed the gconf tree.
[23:20] <edbian> WindowsMojave, read and follow this long and comprehensive guide: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/BlankScreen
[23:20] <WindowsMojave> edbian, with Nomodeset enabled, it gets stuck at command: Stopping System V Runlevel Compatability
[23:21] <edbian> Can I use ubuntu to boot and repartition an intel based macbook pro?  (with hfs
[23:21] <intok> WindowsMojave have you tried 12.04 prerelease? the AMD APUs have issues with 11.10 as the code to support them was a bit late to the merge window
[23:21] <edbian> (with hfs+ filesystems)
[23:21] <WindowsMojave> intok, No, how stable is it?
[23:21] <EvilResistance> WindowsMojave:  its not
[23:22] <EvilResistance> intok:  12.04 isnt in prerelease state, its still in alpha stage
[23:22] <WindowsMojave> What other distro supports my APU intok?
[23:22] <AntiCasp3r> ubluntu, http://pastebin.com/vX3q9MkQ
[23:22] <dr_willis> WindowsMojave:  if you are lucky, try the disrtowatch homepage and see what ones have just been released with updated kernels
[23:22] <edbian> Can I use ubuntu to boot and repartition an intel based macbook pro? (with hfs+ partitions)
[23:22] <EvilResistance> !repeat | edbian
[23:22] <edbian> yeah yeah
[23:23] <WindowsMojave> dr_willis, do you know what kernel supports my APU?
[23:23] <WindowsMojave> Would Fedora 18?

[23:27] <dr_willis> WindowsMojave:  no clue.. when in doubt try the latest you can find
[23:27] <sammy> edbian: the {a} is actually from running command line aptitude, not apt-get :D if you were curious.
[23:27] <edbian> sammy, interesting. Did you find out what it means?
[23:28] <Josse> Hello guys. My system is not detecting my battery after reinstall and before it did. Does anyone know why this could be??
[23:28] <sammy> edbian: packages that are marked automagically installed as dependencies, as opposed to manually installed packages.
[23:28] <sammy> thanks to the folks in #debian@oftc
[23:28] <edbian> sammy, aaah, thanks

[23:30] <AntiCasp3r> ubluntu, ye did it
[23:31] <ubluntu> AntiCasp3r: it has a config tab, can you set it or make sure its set to analog stereo duplex
[23:31] <kingfisher64> anybody know how to install creative suite 3 in virtualbox? since wine doesn't support it i'm kinda low on options
[23:31] <AntiCasp3r> ubluntu, yup its analog stereo duplex
[23:32] <ubluntu> AntiCasp3r: hrm. and it  works in 10.10
