KimbleI'm pretty sure auto-detection of crossover etc is part of an ethernet spec - the Gigabit spec perhaps?  Perhaps earlier.00:00
za3kcordyceps: Not sure exactly, probably starting 5-10 years ago?00:00
ejvim not sure what ubuntu uses to mount directories over ssh, but im guessing something similar to sshfs-fuse00:00
ejvthat or samba are good for accessing content across the cable00:00
* cordyceps I'm so old :(00:00
Loshkiroadfish: if no windows machines are going to be involved, I'd use nfs, else samba...00:00
ironhalikdunno whats the topic, but 1Gbit ethernet cards do the crossing internally, no need for a crossover cable00:00
roadfishejv:ok, sshfs-fuse sounds kinds of good (maybe)00:00
Kimblecordyceps: would you rather be dead?00:00
cordycepssometimes00:00
Kimbleouch. Today on Trisha...00:01
ejvi know the wiring in a crossover cable is physically different from it's ethernet brethren.00:01
ejvfft.00:01
vicHello, dropped in to ask if there is a possibility of finding a driver for an AMD RADEON HD 6900 graphics card. Using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. Thanks, everyone!00:01
roadfishhence, the crossover ... some wires are crossed over.00:01
Josh|KilljoyX23nice card :)00:01
cordycepslubuntu-11.10 here. Synaptic doesn't list startup-disk-creator. How do I get it?00:01
Loshkiroadfish: I'd say ssh has far too much overhead on what is essentially a secure link...00:02
ejvthat card is old!00:02
ejv7970, cmon fellas get with it00:02
Kimbleejv: wow, your such a sensitive guy. cordyceps' is probably slitting his wrists right now...00:02
vicHope so, Josh. Itºs connected to a widescreen monitor but doesnºt seem to realise this.00:02
za3kcordyceps: "apt-cache search" suggests you might be thinking of "usb-creator-*".  Are those the same thing?00:02
roadfishLoshki: ok, so I might get choppy performance (or heavy CPU usage?) if I just want to watch videos. I already did "ssh -X" and, yuck, the video ran slow and got out-of-sync with audio.00:03
ejvKimble: do you mean vic ? :)00:03
Phong_ejv, i do 'sftp 127.0.0.1'  it said connection refused00:03
roadfishLoshki: I mean that NFS is in and sshfs-fuse is out ... for video watching at least.00:03
cordycepsza3k: E: Unable to locate package usb-creator00:03
Phong_something to do with 22??00:03
Kimbleejv: lol, no, i was referring to cordyceps feeling of "being old".00:03
ejvPhong_: what's the IP address of the machine you're trying to connect to.00:04
ejvKimble: ahh missed that00:04
Phong_local ip00:04
Loshkiroadfish: agreed. Have you configured an nfs server before?00:04
Jordan_Ucordyceps: usb-creator-gtk00:04
Josh|KilljoyX23wheres a good resource on beginner ubuntu terminal, or linux line in general?00:04
Phong_ejv i try to connect locally00:04
ejvwhy are you trying to sftp to yourself?00:04

vicBUE?00:05
cordycepsJordan_U: now we're getting somewhere ;)00:06
Kimblevic: just like BCE - Before Cars and Electricity.00:06
roadfishLoshki: nope ... I guess NFS is my next waterhose to drink from ... after learning ssh and eth0 in interfaces file and adjusting firewall settings00:06

agentgasmaskAnyone have any hints on getting full graphics with intel graphics on a core i3 laptop? Ubuntu 10.04 x64 LTS00:06
ironhalikhmm, whats the default nvidia driver in ubuntu?00:06
ironhalikright after installation?00:07
Xouriiany FPS games for ubuntu? don't have to look fancy00:07
ejvsrsly tho, i had to go to the library to their computer programming section to read up on the latest red hat builds00:07
_NiCXourii, unreal tournament? :-)00:07
agentgasmaskironhalik: Is that to me?00:07
Loshkiroadfish: sounds like you're a quick study. Take a look at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo00:07
KimbleXourii: Urban Terror 's a good multi-player FPS.00:07
OerHeksagentgasmask, optimus ?00:07
ironhalikdunno agentgasmask :)00:07
agentgasmaskXourii: urban terror00:07
Xourii_NiC: is that free?00:07
roadfishLoshki: more like a few night up to 3am or 5am.00:07
ejvif you want full graphics, you want windows with windows drivers :)00:07
_NiCXourii, not really sure.00:07
XouriiKimble: I had trouble installing it, because I'm a n00b. xD00:08
vicejv: Wind-ezre has too many overheads.00:08
KimbleXourii: Urban Terror? Really? Let me take a look...00:08
agentgasmaskejv: Realy? That's a nice tip...00:08
vic)I meant Wind-eze"00:08
ejvyea but at least their driver implementation isn't gimped like in Linux land.00:08
Loshkiroadfish: maybe I can speed you up a bit, if you want to spend the time...00:08
ejvit's just the way it is right now... don't kill the messenger00:08
XouriiKimble: I'm not even sure how to install things like that. It's not them, it's me I think00:08
urlin2uvic, just for a heads up distorting the windows name is a respect loss even here. :D00:09
za3kI'm experiencing odd mirrored tty input problems on boot.  They're reproducible but I can't find anyone with the exact problem online.  I don't understand the boot process and have done little customization other than installing packages.  Tips on what to look at next?00:09
Phong_ejv ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.28 port 22: Connection refused00:09
KimbleXourii: according to here - http://www.urbanterror.info/downloads/ - it's very simple.  Have another go. It's a great laugh once you get past being a `noob'.00:09
_NiCPhong_, is sshd actually running?00:09
agentgasmaskejv: I'm not trying to kill the messanger, just a little deflated by his news, what with the brand new laptop and all...00:09
vicurlin2u: Sense of humour won't allow that!00:10
ejvPhong_: looks like ssh isn't listening properly, restart the daemon, work on it :)00:10
XouriiKimble: okay, thanks00:10
Phong_how00:10
urlin2uvic, lol I know :)00:10
Phong_i am noob00:10
KimbleSo, anyone here using ext2 fs compression? just though I'd ask one last time...00:10
ejvlet's be honest, if I'm writing code using CUDA's SDK, I'll probably do it in windows, not in linux.00:10
Phong_how to restart daemon00:10
vicKimble: Not dared to use compression since DOS5 days!00:11
roadfishLoshki: I guess that I can setup NFS on my "inner" computer that isn't hooked up to the web. That should be a good security measure.00:11
michal__service restart <name-of-the-deamon>00:11
ejvbecause at least I can trust that nvidia has taken care of it's windows developers00:11
Kimblevic: ugggg. Even _recalling_ DOS makes me feel ill....00:11
vicKimble: Tsk! Such graphic disrespect!00:12
ejvarguably, 'dos' is the reason i'm here. i thought punching commands was super cool.00:12
* ejv shrugs00:12
Phong_ejv reboot machine???00:13
roadfishDOS has been a real blight. First attacks PCs in 1980s and then denies internet service.00:13
vicejv: Takes a rather good memory to recall alll the various syntaxes!00:13
Loshkiroadfish: I thought you said you have 2 pcs back to back? I agree it would be bad to serve nfs from an exposed machine...00:13
_NiCdid you ever use 4dos? :)00:13
ejvPhong_: sudo service sshd restart00:13
ejvPhong_: sudo service ssh restart00:13
vic_NiC: Wozzat_00:13
vic?00:13
Kimbleoh well. if no-one here has experience of ext2 fs compression, Ill bid farewell. :)00:13
vicSorry:(00:14
_NiCvic, dos, just better. different shell, I guess.00:14
ejvall the time you wasted waiting00:14
Phong_both of what u sia?00:14
_NiChad lots of fun with it. :)00:14
ejvyou could have shown us reults at this point00:14
ejvs/reults/results/g00:14
roadfishLoshki: yes the PCs are back-to-back. I was just asking about putting NFS on the inner machine as a kind of sanity test ... that I'm thinking straight.00:14
vicI'm waiting, too! ?00:14
ejvi still think you should look to the future and accept ext4 as your lord and savior, that or zfs.00:14
Phong_ejv with ssh or sshd???00:14
Phong_which 100:15
vicI canºt afford to get that much older!00:15
ejvKimble left, didnt he/she? i have parts ignored...00:15
_NiCPhong_, how about you just try and find out?00:15
Phong_ok00:15
Phong_brb00:15
ejvPhong_: the second one, but if you type the first one it will simply say "not found"00:15
_NiCcat sneezing on my monitors :-\00:16
ejvcute and gross00:16
roadfishroadfish: ok thanks, that Community Ubuntu NFS webpage looks good. I'm familiar with these kinds of ideas. But I'll probably start on it tommorow.00:16
ejvmounting dirs over ssh takes no effort at all if you're *very* lazy roadfish00:17
ejvgnome integrates it rather well00:17
vicI know I came here for something - it's just like climbing the stairs!00:17
* ejv prefers the path of least resistance00:17
Loshkiroadfish: best of luck...00:17

noahnoahHi.  Having some major problems with video drivers.  Running the Ubuntu 11.10 with latest updates.  Tried to install driver updates directly from nvidia.com.  That killed my X.  So I uninstalled, removed them, and then used apt-get to reinstall the nvidia drivers from ubuntu.  Booting into recovery loads everything beautifully.  Booting into "regular" gives me a "Purple screen of death".  I've followed the instructions here01:11

Ben64noahnoah: have you tried ctrl+alt+f101:23
noahnoahBen64:  Yes.  doesn't work01:23
Ben64looks like you might have bigger problems than an nvidia driver then01:24
jmscomtechum just wondering have u actually activadted the nvidia drivers01:24
noahnoahWonder if it is a plymouth issue?  (I ran some plymouth fix script someone suggested here.)01:24
shovelldr_willis,  well i dl'ed the tremulous with ubuntu software center then applied a patch from mercianeriesguilg.com01:24

sauevaemHello.01:25
sauevaemCan someone help me?01:25
rypervenchesauevaem: What's up?01:25
jmscomtechoh so u didnt activate using the icon in taskbar then01:25
jmscomtech?01:25
Ben64noahnoah: that's not the correct way to use nvidia drivers either01:25
noahnoahBen64: Yes01:25
semitones_teahello :)01:26
jmscomtechu installed a very old driver01:26
shovelldr_willis, ####### mercianeriesguild.com #########01:26
sauevaemJust installed amd drivers catalyst 12.1 from amd site. (those from ubuntu repo weren't working)01:26
Ben64jmscomtech: but the system should still start up, just without X, he has to have some other problem as well01:26
jmscomtechnoahnoah normaly to activate there will be a hardware icon in taskbar to activate and install the drivers01:27
semitones_teaI'm in lubuntu 10.04 -- I like the high resolution of the screen, but words and icons are a little hard to read. Is there a way to make just words and icons bigger? (iirc, 125dpi or something)01:27
sauevaemEverything works fine except01:27
shovelldr_willis,  sorry that was wrong too01:27
jmscomtechben64 no it dopesnt as nuveua is used and hasnt been disabled u get stack at the purple screen which glitchs01:27
jmscomtechits happend to me once and i learnt my lesson01:28
semitones_teabueller?01:28

glosoliWhat problem folks here are trying to solve ?01:29
Ben64noahnoah: i guess then start in recovery, remove all the nvidia stuff, start back up in normal mode and use the Proprietary Drivers thing to install nvidia01:29
=== dannel2 is now known as dannel
shovellever played tremulous?01:30
jmscomtechben64: its because in xorg its trying to use both nuveua and the nvidia drivers at same time, if installed the correct way it disables and correctly installs the drivers for nvidia, but nuveua has to be disabled before the nvidia drivers get installed or xorg will forever look up nuveua01:30
semitones_teaI'm in lubuntu 10.04 -- I like the high resolution of the screen, but words and icons are a little hard to read. Is there a way to make just words and icons bigger? (iirc, 125dpi or something)01:30
Ben64jmscomtech: i guess i've never had that problem because i refuse to give up my xorg.conf :)01:30
jmscomtechyeah happens when u try out stuff01:31
jmscomtechnever apt-get the drivers allways activate the hardware recomended01:31
jmscomtechits one lesson i learnt the hardway01:32
glosolijmscomtech: So that means that most of the time you activate quite out dated drivers, if you use ATI01:32

noahnoahOne issue is that I have to enter a password to unlock the drive.  With plymouth off, the password shows on the screen for all to see :(01:40
jmscomtechnope01:40
glosolijmscomtech: Sorry for oftopic, never heard of it, do you think it is worth trying ?01:41
jmscomtechu have to sudo apt-get install tint2 ,  then in startup apps do a name tint2 and command tint2 next time u login ull have a bar on bottom of screen like a dock that shows whats open01:41

sontekdr_willis: not anything that comes to mind, definitely could have had some failed updates or something but nothing I noticed02:20
dr_willisFarnaby:  could be some other network congestion going on. hard to trouble shoot stuff like this at times.02:20
acerimmersontek: kernel update will do that sometimes.  try booting an earlier kernel - should have a choice when teh grub menu boots.02:20
dr_willistap the shift key to make the grub menu appear if its hidding by default.02:20

sontekFarnaby: I know, but usually the grub prompt is customized to be ubuntu... and it used to be02:22
dr_willissontek:  its odd that theres not several kernel versions in the grub menus.  Seems to be a updated kernel about every month.02:22
FarnabyI think there were about 6-8 in 201102:23
dr_willissontek:  so what release of ubuntu are you using?02:23
xanguacgfree: the only way you could mount it on Lucid are 1.using an older iOS version 2. Jail break it02:23
sontekdr_willis: the one that came with unity02:23
sontekdr_willis: don't remember the version02:23

dr_willisthe last 2 releases had unity. :)02:24
Farnabyagu10` eject the cd?02:24
cgfreexangua - i dont beleive that to be true. i have had it functional on my desktop, and i remember there was something i had to edit i think an fstab or something to tell ubuntu to auto mount if present and if not do nothing02:24
Farnabymight just be a bad a burn02:24
acerimmeragu10^: bad iso.  did you sumcheck that cdrom??02:24
dr_willisagu10^:  could be a badly burnt cd/iso file/ or currupted iso download. double check the md5's of theiso file befor burning it.02:24
agu10^No vd. Pendrrive. I tried manu times02:24
acerimmeragu10^: still need to check02:24
agu10^Ok02:24
dr_willisagu10^:  and/or try some differnt tools at pendrivelinux site to make the usb drive02:25
agu10^Ok02:25
dr_willisI think some of those tools can auto-check the md5 when it downloads theiso02:25
xanguacgfree: and when was that¿¿ when lucid came out¿02:25
Farnabynever had any luck with pendrives the few times I used them for an entire CD but that was back when I was in college02:25

ubottuTo verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows02:25
cgfreexangua, hmmm may have been a whiiile - lol02:26
FarnabyI <3 bots02:27
xanguacgfree: well when lucid came out, it coud manage latest iOS version at the time, then iOS updated and it could no more; and the history repeats with every ubuntu/iOS release02:27
Farnabyxangua: that is one of the reasons I have for keeping my mac mini around.02:29
FarnabyNow this makes me laugh, a text only page laods slower then youtube. Thats bizarre.02:30
cgfreexangua, somehow we have to teach the "haves" to unite with the "have-nots" so that maybe perhaps we could co-inhabit this planet and share the "technology" which we have founded together --- also to remind everyone, these "technologies" were not sought after for the mere purpose of greedy corporate money miners, these "technologies" were developments from trial and error to improve the quality of human existance02:31
dr_willisFarnaby:  perhaps test with a live cd - see if the network is still slow. that would point to it being an isp issue. or other issue not a setting on your machine problem.02:31
Farnabydr_willis I am going to go one better actually and test with a whole other machine on the same network02:31

BesaI'm trying to install ubuntu desktop remix 10.10 on my Samsung netbook, but I don't know what to do next02:40
Farnabybesa where are you at with it?02:41
rocketfish2 http://pastebin.com/awgrAY6f <--- dmesg02:41
rocketfish2help , usb drive rocketfish 3.5 external usb drive can be used by windows and mac, but not linux. linux sees the hard ware and even a usb flash drive plugged into the rocketfish external drive, but accessing the drive fails.02:41
dr_willisBesa:  You may want to just use the latest ubuntu release 11.04 -02:41
xanguaBesa: 10.10 is out of support in a couple of months, are you sure is that the ubuntu version you want¿02:41
rocketfish2the latest is 11.1002:41
almoxarifei second rocketfish202:41
BesaI couldn't find a netbook remix for that version02:41
rocketfish2ok almoxarife02:41
Besaand I'm kinda new at this02:41
xangua!une | Besa02:42
ubottuBesa: Starting with Ubuntu 11.04, the Ubuntu Netbook Edition is no longer being offered as a separate install as Unity is now standard for all Ubuntu desktop installs.02:42
dr_willisBesa:  because there is no longer a 'netbook' edition.02:42
g0kulgithelp, the link you refered says to create a user git02:42
antimatroid1do any of you own a mac book pro? do you just leave osx on it or deal with the reduced battery life?02:42
githelpg0kul: that is the second link, i did not use that primarily i used that supplementally02:42
antimatroid1i got given one for free, but i'm really hating osx02:42
dr_willisthe unity interface is the default :) so the desktop and netbook interfaces are the same02:42
FarnabyAt this point besa I would go with 11.10 in your shoes.02:42
BesaWill it give me any trouble with finding drivers and such?  I'm brand new to Linux...don't know any bash commands...02:43
dr_willisBesa:  thats all the same..02:43
Farnabybesa, should be close to working out of the box at the very least.02:43
Farnabybbiab02:43
dr_willistest it out on a live usb and see what works.02:43
antimatroid1also, why is there such a large reduction in battery life from running ubuntu? does it just use more resources?02:43
flowerpotBesa, try a live CD02:43
BesaIt's just that the installer is asking "who are you", the progress bar says "ready when you are", but the "forward" button is greyed out and I can't see any other way to continue02:44
Besathe netbook doesn't want to boot from usb cd drive02:44
dr_willisantimatroid1:  the hw makers often dont release specs for the proper power optimaztions. and theres beensome kenel power bugs lately also.02:44
Besaso I'm using a flash drive02:44
flowerpotCan you alter its BIOS?02:44
BesaI did02:44
flowerpotSo you can't boot from CD or USB even if you specify it in the BIOS02:44
g0kulgithelp, could you try this git://yourserver.com/gitosis-admin.git02:44
Besait doesn't recognize a bootable CD on my USB optical drive as a bootable device02:44
antimatroid1dr_willis: i knew this mac was a terrible idea, oh well02:44
BesaNO I'm booted from USB flash drive now02:44
flowerpotBesa, waht about a regular CD?02:44
flowerpotBesa, oh02:44
Besabut it won't do it for the optical drive02:45
antimatroid1it's hard to say no to free :P02:45
Besaand being a netbook, does not have one built in02:45
dr_willisantimatroid1:  hopefully in 12.x they will get fixed up..02:45
agu10^Besa, its not easy like windows or mac, but u can hack it to make it work02:45
flowerpotBesa, so the problem you're having is that when you attempt to install Ubuntu, you reach a point in the process where you can't see how to proceed due to grayed out button?02:45
Besayes02:45
Besathat's all02:45
flowerpotBesa, can you give us a screenshot?02:45
gmr_Hoping someone can help me out, I have a 11.10 server install, trying to get things setup and am having trouble adding an eth0:0 alias. It seems that service networking stop/start/restart doesn't work, I believe I have the config correct (https://gmr.privatepaste.com/64a38a3706) and if I reboot the server, eth0 comes up but eth0:0 does not.02:45
Besaerm...how?02:45
Besait's kinda in the middle of installing an operating system...02:46
dr_willisi dident even think 10.10 had the netbook edition. :) but i may be getting version #'s wrong02:46
rocketfish2almoxarife: what are you finding ?02:46
acerimmergmr_: just in case #ubuntu-server02:46
Besa10.10 was the latest I could find with a netbook version02:46
BesaI'm talking about this on my desktop02:46
Besawith the netbook in my lap02:46
dr_willisBesa:  id dump 10.10 and go with 11.04 -  theres no reason to use 10.1002:46
gmr_thanks acerimmer02:46
g0kulgithelp, also try ssh gitoasis@yourserver.com02:46
dr_willisits not really worth the trouble fighting with 10.10 to get it installed.02:47
rocketfish2any one know how to get linux to work with a usb 3.5 rocketfish ?02:47
Besawell great...so now I reformat this partition again02:47
githelpg0kul: both failed02:47
dr_willisrocketfish2:  plug it in. chedk dmesg output. mount it by hand perhaps.02:47
Besa*mutters darkly* =P02:47
rocketfish2 http://pastebin.com/awgrAY6f <--- dmesg02:47

g0kulgithelp, follow some other guide, i dont really know the internals02:48
rocketfish2what do you make of it dr_willis ?02:49
rocketfish2dr_willis: i have yet to find any one who is not completely mystified by this02:49
dr_willisrocketfish2:  not sure about the 'offline device' messages. does 'sudo fdisk -l' show the drive?02:50
githelpg0kul: im asking on the git channel, thanks for the help tho02:50
flowerpotBesa, regarding screenshots, you can just take a pic with your cell phone or something and then upload it for us.02:50
flowerpotBesa, but they're right - you should use a more recent version anyway.02:50
rocketfish2ill check dr_willis , it does show up in dick utility though.02:50
urlin2uflowerpot, they are gone02:50
flowerpotIf you use a more recent version, the chances of it  succeeding install will go up.02:50
flowerpoturlin2u, you're right :(02:50
dr_willisrocketfish2:  if you can tell its /dev/sdXX  you can try mounting it by hand.02:51
urlin2uflowerpot, the tabs always tells. :D02:51
dr_willisrocketfish2:  could be the auto monting subsystem is just confuised02:51

rocketfish2disk^02:53
hugenumbershaha02:53
rocketfish2dr_willis: i can plug a flash drive into it and have total access of the flash drive without trouble02:53
dr_willissomthing weird with that HD/controller/cable/usb port -- perhaps..02:54
Farnabydr_willis its looking like you might have been right calling network boogeymen. I checked the physical aspects of the lan and they were all fine, the girlfriend calls, I come back and now things are running much smoother.02:54
dr_willisFarnaby:  gremlins.. :)02:54
rocketfish2dr_willis: the hard drive works fine under windows and mac02:54
acerimmerFarnaby: girlfriend hack02:54
Farnabygotta love em. They were some long lasting gremlins though, close to 10 hours worth02:54
Farnabystupid comcast02:55
dr_willisrocketfish2:  test with a live cd/differnt disrto perhaps. fdisk -l should be showing it  - if the system sees it.02:55
Farnabyand acerimmer with her I wouldn't be surprised.... she has a touch of death when it comes to technology02:55
dr_willisrocketfish2:  or linux saw some error/issue and disconected the device02:55
rocketfish2i did, same issue i tried 11.04 , then upgraded (compelte wipe and install) to 11.10 , then opensuse 12.1 live CD, all failed02:55
rocketfish2dr_willis:02:56
dr_willisrocketfish2:  a unplug/plug in, and check of dmesg, and fdisk -l. might show it... if it then vanishes.. well  thats a clue at least.02:56
FarnabyI need to mess around with a livecd of 11.10 and see whether I actually like unity or not02:56
rocketfish2i was a 11.04 user earlier today02:56
rocketfish2dr_willis:02:56
dr_willisrocketfish2:  also you may want to test with a totally differnt disrto like TinyCoreLinux - see if that detects it properly.02:56
Farnabylol and now FF is back to running slow02:56
Farnabywhatever I guess, its not a problem to be solved tonight02:57
rocketfish2only once after a freeze and then a reboot of setting the usb delay_use to 5 did it almost show up in the file manager ... i set it to 10 after that, and then backl to 5 and it seems to have been a fluke dr_willis02:57
yeatsrocketfish2: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1782546 may have some helpful suggestions02:58
rocketfish2why tiny core ? i burned and ran a live DVD of opensuse because a forum some place had a psot that said opensuse did not have that issue.. dr_willis02:58
dr_willisrocketfish2:  because tinycore is 10mb download..02:58
dr_willis:)02:58
dr_willisif suse worked.. but ubuntu not - points to some driver/kernel/issue then.02:59
rocketfish2thanks dr_willis, this will be the 4~5 time i have read thgat same page02:59
dr_willisso its being narrowed down to ubuntu specific issues..02:59
rocketfish2nice dr_willis03:00
dr_willisanother 'test' would be to see if the 12.x alpha has the same issue. if so - definatly file a bug report on it.  So hopefully it will get looked into and fixed in the next rlease03:00
rocketfish2well thanks dr_willis... you seem as lost of every other person who attempted to resolve this oddity.   and no opensuse failed as well while windows and mac os x have no troubles03:01
yeats!attitude | rocketfish203:01
ubotturocketfish2: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines03:01
dr_willisIf suse failed = that would point to a kernel issue/driver bugs.03:01
rocketfish2perhaps i will switch to windows for a while03:01
dr_williswhich is beyond the fixing of most people.03:01
cheese1756Hi. Does anyone have any experience using Ubuntu and LMMS with a MIDI keyboard?03:02
rocketfish2hay yeats, lay off, i said nothing offencive :[03:02
cheese1756In this case, an Akai MPK6103:02
dr_willisSo testing with 12.x may still be worth while. to see if the isue has been fised in a newer kenel03:02
dr_willisassuming its a kernel issue03:02
rocketfish2dr_willis: , well, i could b urn another live CD, i have almost ten now :D03:02
dr_willisi got a stack of perhaps 300 from over the years rocketfish203:03
dr_willisI tend to use usb flash drives these days03:03
kalgecindr_willis, +103:03
dr_willisset up grub2 on a flash to boot iso files.. makes it a lot easier.03:03
rocketfish2dr_willis:  what can you make of the suggested alteration of 80-udisks.rules . i was not willing to take a forum post at face value and risk dammaging my linux..03:04
dr_willisrocketfish2:  when in doubt.. backup the file you are changeing.  It is weurd that the disk utuity is seeing the device. but fdisk is not. it could be  one is waiting longer for the device to get ready.03:05
=== skilz-a is now known as skilz
rocketfish2the only flash drive i have is set up to restore grub for me :)03:05
dr_willisrocketfish2:  could try it and see is all i can suggest.03:05
rocketfish2dr_willis:03:05
KimbleI got a pm spam from "testteed" the minute I joined this channel???03:05
dr_willisthe 'disk utilty' tool can mount drives cant it? i dont recall ever using it.03:06
FarnabyIs there a dedicated backup utility baked into unity?03:06
dr_willisFarnaby:  not really.03:06
KimbleAnyway, anyone willing to help me troubleshoot my NFS setup?03:06
yeatsKimble: ask away03:06
rocketfish2dr_willis: well, i have taken on linux troubles before and foun d myself spending weeks trouble shooting relentlessly. i am n ot so determind any more... my other project is getting osx86 installed on this machine.03:06
Farnabythats kinda wat I figured.... thats something that I know is stopping some people from thinking different and leaving OSX (even though I know two people who don't even use time machine despite advocating its benefits)03:07
rocketfish2dr_willis:  the disk utility sees it and the 2 card readers it has. it rteports the drive empty and when i attempt to partition it, it reports that it does not exist03:07
KimbleThanks yeats .  I've installed all packages just minutes ago, and prepared a /etc/exports file.  NFSd is running. Am I missing anything?03:07
Farnabyrocketfish2 thats a good attitude. So long as I have one computer that is running more or less flawlessly I don't stress the details too much about the other ones. Not worth losing sleep over.03:08
dr_willisrocketfish2:  i wonder if thers not some deeper issues that windows and osx are just overlooking/not reporitng  when they see the empty disk. You could try partionong it from osx - i THINK osx has tools to make linux parititons03:08
Kimblethe export file contains one line: /home/user/folder <ip-range>(options)03:08
rocketfish2Farnaby: yeah. i have windows 7 and linux on the hard drive and i am working on mac os x on the rocketfish. so far it installs, starts booring, then fails and retarts..03:09
yeatsKimble: it should be as simple as restarting nfs-kernel-server and mounting on the clients?03:09
Farnabydr_willis its supposed to but I never tried it myself03:09
rocketfish2Farnaby: so long as one of them do what i require, i trust linux the most though. windows the least, its only there to run somehting once in a while to save time03:09
dr_willisive found it pays to keep things as simple as possible when working with pcs and hard disks. :)03:10
FarnabyThe only reason I have a windows computer is because its my work machine and that requires some tools that only work in XP of all things03:10
rocketfish2dr_willis:  no, mac os x and windows see the hard drive as it is, partitioned .03:10
Kimbleyeats: that's what I'd hoped. Maybe I'm doing something wrong on the client side. hang on...03:10
dr_willisrocketfish2:  you said it was empty earlier.. its been partioned by OS-X for a OS-X install?03:10
rocketfish2dr_willis:  they treat it as if it exists and allow full access to partition and create and distroy data on it.03:11
FarnabyI have ... 2 old computers running various versions of windows too I guess. They are in a closet somewhere03:11
rocketfish2dr_willis:  disk utility reprts it empty03:11
[[thufir]]how do you know which sound driver you use?03:11
Farnabyrocketfish this is almost sounding like a permission error03:11
rocketfish2dr_willis: the linux disk utility. mac os x and windows and partition and fully use it03:11
dlentz[[thufir]], lspci -vv03:11
rocketfish2and=can^03:12
dr_willisi wonder what kind of partiton table it has.. and if that might be confuseing things..03:12
dwontestteed is spamming people who join the channel with "Find movies, music, games, applications and more using IRC"03:13
Farnabyyou still have that pastebin around somewhere rocketfish?03:13
rocketfish2ok , well its time for me to go, i have spent well over enough time on this problem, thanks dr_willis03:13
Farnabydr_willis thats a possibility03:13
rocketfish2dr_willis: it is a MBR03:13
Kimbledwon: yeah, I got that too. Can someone chuck him?03:13
* rocketfish2 is gone03:13
dr_willisfdisk i think does not support the newer partionong table stuff..03:13
[[thufir]]dlentz: Kernel driver in use: pata_sis  so pata_sis is my sound driver?03:13
FarnabyShould support a MBR though03:13
dlentzno, you need yto fin the entry for the audio driver03:14
dr_willis[[thufir]]:  pata sounds like a hard drive controller to me.03:14
[[thufir]]yeah, it was in the section on sound.  I'll look again.03:14
dr_willisand sis is a chipset maker. :)03:14
Geeeeeecan someone please help me, i kind of ruined my computer D:03:14
Kimbleyeats: My Mac fails to find the mount.  Using Disk Utility, I enter the address as follows: nfs://IPaddress/home/user/share03:14
dr_willissoit could be some odd sis sound card/chipset...03:14
Kimbleyeats: oh, d'oh!  Firewall!  What's the NFS ports?03:15
yeatsKimble: I don't think I'll be much help with a Mac, sorry ...03:15
[[thufir]]my bad:  Kernel modules: snd-intel8x0   sounds more promising.  I paged up too much.  so that's module to probe?03:15
dlentzyes03:15
GeeeeeeHas anyone figured out a way to fix the overheating problem with 11.10 on laptops?03:15
dr_willisGeeeeee:  theres known power-saveing bugs in the kernel/latest release. some fix's depend on the exact make laptop.03:16
dr_willissome laptops dont have issues.03:16
* dr_willis hopes the 12.x release fixs most issues03:16
Farnabythere is also a kernal fix for some03:16
GeeeeeeWell ubuntu just fried my laptop, and now i can't do anything03:16
dlentz[[thufir]], are you having an ufio issue?03:17
dlentz*audio03:17
[[thufir]]aha.  so if I "sudo modprobe  snd-intel8x0"  and nothing happens, just get prompt again, that means sound driver isn't installed?03:17
kokoluhello friendsa03:17
[[thufir]]dlentz: used to have sound, not anymore.  I suspect OS/software03:17
GeeeeeeDo the older versions of ubuntu overheat?03:17
dr_willis[[thufir]]:  command line common practice.. dont print messages on success :)03:17
cheese1756Hi kokolu03:18
dlentzif lspci tolf you the module is loaded, then it isloaded03:18
cheese1756Geeeeee, Most likely, yes03:18
GeeeeeeSadface...03:18
dlentzmodprobe returns nothing if it is successful03:18
cheese1756It's worth a shot to google around, though03:18
FarnabyGee, Ihave never had it happen its one of those things thats goignto be hardware/build specefic03:18
za3kI have xdm installed on ubuntu server (and not much else).  I have a solid-state drive, if that's relevant.  Anyway, when I boot up and log in, my keyboard input is being mirrored between tty1 and my X session.  Any ideas on diagnosing why?03:18
GeeeeeeWell i'm going to go attempt to revive my computer.03:18
dr_willisGeeeeee:  try the older lts release and see.03:18
[[thufir]]ah, so returning the prompt indicates success.  I thought it meant failure.  sigh.  Failure would've been useful.03:18
dlentz[[thufir]], did this happen after an update03:19
dr_willisyou expet it to say 'good golly yes! we got the drivers loaded master!'03:19
dr_willis:)03:19
[[thufir]]dlentz: I did update, but it might've happened before that.  I haven't used this box in many moons.03:19
Farnabyif *nix was that friend dr_willis then more people might use it. People have gotten to used to having their hand held03:19
dr_willis[[thufir]]:  it may be a simple mixer setting set to muted also.03:19
[[thufir]]I checked sound preferences via GNOME GUI.  can you be more specific?03:20
dr_willisFarnaby:  given that the module was most likely allready loaded. :)03:20
dr_willis!alsa03:20
ubottuIf you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings.  If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files,  see !players and !mp3.03:20
[[thufir]]yeah I'm going through that page at the moment.03:20
Farnaby[[thufir]], I had a problem with alsa on a laptop where the mic was uted and for some reason that killed all sound03:20
dr_willisI rarely work on sound issues.  I have ntoiced on many machines that use hdmi audio - i have to plug in a rca cable to use the normal sound out. and NOT the hdmi sound.03:21
[[thufir]]heh.  thx.  I don't think it's that, but I'll look again.  this is a relatively old desktop.03:21
Farnabyits really just a matter of sound issues seem to be really bizarre things that don't make a ton of sense (to me anyway)03:21
kokoluplease can anyone tell me how to put a password on guest when login? coz if i lock my user account so anyperson can get enter with guest03:21
dr_willison this tv "dvi monitor" i had to be sure to use the proper hdmi port to get it to use the right audio input also. :) but thats most likely not your issue03:22
Farnabykokolu, you want all accounts including guest to have a password?03:22
Nach0zkokolu: "passwd guest" or something maybe? dunno why you'd do that03:22
dr_williskokolu:  you could just disabke the guest account if you dont want to ise it..03:22
cheese1756kokolu, You can probably just delete the guest account, too03:22
kokoluFarnaby:  yes plz03:22
dr_willisguest account is special. (i never use it) :)03:22
opform249_i have a networking question...03:23
* [[thufir]] agrees with Farnaby03:23
cheese1756opform249_, How advanced?03:23
dr_willishttp://askubuntu.com/questions/70169/how-to-disable-the-guest-account-at-the-login-of-ubuntu-11-1003:23
opform249_i don't know yet...03:23
flowerpotdr_willis, how is the guest account special?03:24
opform249_just install Ubuntu 11.10 and my wireless doesn't work03:24
cheese1756What's your question, opform249_?03:24
cheese1756Oh03:24
flowerpotopform249_, probably missing the right drivers03:24
cheese1756Check if your wireless card is supported03:24
cheese1756Out of the box03:24
cheese1756That would be the first step, at least03:24
dlentz[[thufir]]. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/AlsaInfo03:24
opform249_that is what I thought to but the "Additional Drivers" section03:24
opform249_for the Broadcom STA wireless driver is what I am having an issue with i think03:24
kokoluFarnaby:  how can i add password03:25
opform249_IF the driver is "active" i don't have ANY wireless options via the network button at the top03:25
dr_willisflowerpot:  the changes made to its settings are discarded when they log out for one thing03:25
Farnabykokolu, checki in system, admin, users there should be an option to do whatever you want to do it. I always disable my guest accounts.03:25
cheese1756opform249_, Try just disabling and re-enabling wireless in the network manager03:25
cheese1756See if anything shows up then03:26
flowerpotdr_willis, but they're just a normal user in the end, right?03:26
dr_willisflowerpot:  i never use the feature. Its one of those 'features' that keeps getting added/removed/changed in each new release.03:26
flowerpotdr_willis, when you say they're special, it makes me wonder if Ubuntu has built in some magic that makes them underprivileged in the same way that root has magic that makes them superprivileged03:26
opform249_good call...be right back...have to find those commands...it's been awhile since I have used linux!03:26
flowerpotdr_willis, root isn't a normal user; I'm curious if guest isn't a normal user either03:26

[[thufir]]could it be a hardware error?  very old system.  yes, tried headphones.  no "static"(?) or other noise when they connect, either.  that little noise you hear when they complete the circuit.03:38
Farnabyactually thats a good point. Try taking compressedair tot eh headphone jack first though. Sometimes crap gets in there and the system willthink headphones are plugged in03:38

[[thufir]]Farnaby: yeah, maybe.03:39
almoxarifepnorman: let me guess, you want to exit back out to the internet to the last computer?03:40
[[thufir]]I find it encouraging that now there's static when plugged/unplugged.  maybe just because I maxed the speakers, tho, and it was doing that before.  hmm.03:40

blackif [[ "$IP" < "0" ]] whats wrong with that?04:13
opform249have you tried the dev version of win 804:13
urlin2uJosh|KilljoyX23, you can transfer the wubi to a partition if you want and have the room.04:13
hydrox24Josh|KilljoyX23: glad to hear it!04:13
hydrox24Josh|KilljoyX23: so are you looking for instruction for how to do a normal install?04:13
evoandroidevohttp://imagebin.org/19598204:14
Josh|KilljoyX23Would i still be able to dual boot with Windows?04:14
evoandroidevowhy there no leting me install side by side is what im asking i have a 200gb hard drive04:15
urlin2uevoandroidevo, okay we need to see what is on the hard drive now as far as how many partitions, so do the screen shot again but using the gparted partitioner it is on the live cd.04:15
evoandroidevook04:16
urlin2uevoandroidevo, several possible reasons why that is why the HD info is important04:16
dr_willisblack:  you are expecting a negtive number for an ip address?04:17
evoandroidevohttp://imagebin.org/19598304:18
hydrox24Josh|KilljoyX23: sure04:18
hydrox24Josh|KilljoyX23: that's how I operate04:18
* Farnaby afk04:18
Josh|KilljoyX23i have a 500g hd, i believe ~250g empty. Would that be enough04:19
dr_willisJosh|KilljoyX23:  i  got a full ubuntu install on a 16gb flash drive. :)04:19
Josh|KilljoyX23spent too much money on all the other parts :)04:19
evoandroidevodr_willis like not live boot but actully installed on the flash drive?04:20
dr_willisevoandroidevo:  yes. a full normal install04:20
urlin2uevoandroidevo, you just need to shrink W7 with its partitioner but first run a chkdsk, and defragg ubuntu is not reading it so it needs a bit of help first, and back it up before shrinking and installing ubuntu.04:20
Josh|KilljoyX23If i have space to put wow on ubuntu ill be a happy camper xD04:20
dr_willisi can 'dd' it to a new machine if i want to clone my setup :)04:20
evoandroidevohow did u do that04:20
hydrox24Josh|KilljoyX23: more than enough!04:20
hydrox24wow?04:20
dr_willisevoandroidevo:  installed like i would to a normal hard drive.04:20
hydrox24Josh|KilljoyX23: do you plan to tun it under WINE?04:20
Josh|KilljoyX23i dont know anything about WINE04:21
dr_willisJosh|KilljoyX23:  if WoW is your main goal.. you may want to stick to playing it in windows.04:21
urlin2uevoandroidevo, that all make sense to you?04:21
dr_willisJosh|KilljoyX23:  it can work with wine.. but  can be tricky or slower.04:21
artichokuquestion about dual-booting04:21
evoandroidevourlin2u how do i chkdsk i tryed doing that on ubuntu and didnt work04:22
Josh|KilljoyX23not main goal, but nice to not swap back and forth. would a full install run cleaner than wubi04:22
urlin2uevoandroidevo, not on ubuntu windows, ubuntu is a different does not use chkdsk.04:22
hydrox24Josh|KilljoyX23: I've never used wubi, but it's like a virtual machine yes?04:22
artichokui just did a clean install of backtrack 5 using entire disk, but i want to dual boot ubuntu. what install options do i need to choose when installing ubuntu so that backtrack stays intact?04:22
dr_willisJosh|KilljoyX23:  wubi is a pain. i would get away from it as soon as possible.04:22
urlin2uevoandroidevo, chkdsk windows.04:23
evoandroidevooh ok04:23
Josh|KilljoyX23it boots from Bios, the only experience with a VM is booted into windows04:23
evoandroidevowell ill be back then04:23
Josh|KilljoyX23my only experience**04:23
GeeeeeeFarnaby: Dude, how do i find out weather or not ubuntu is compatible with my laptop, i found a site but there are so many HP Pavilion DV6 models i'm not sure which is mine haha04:23
dr_willisartichoku:  customize the disk layout, resize the existing instll. make a / partition for ubuntu  the 2 can share swap partition IF you dont use hibernate/suspend.04:23
urlin2uevoandroidevo, cool chkdsk it and defragg it and shrink it with the windows partitioner a leaving a unallocated space for ubuntu to format and install to.04:24
dr_willisartichoku:  i dont see much point in dual booting Ubuntu and backtrack really.... dont see mich point in backtrack for most people that come in here asking about it either. :)04:24
sharkmapjust got ubuntu 10.04 running on my 10 year old sony vaio laptop.04:24
Josh|KilljoyX23im learning ubuntu because backtrack 5 kicked my butt04:24
Josh|KilljoyX23:)04:24
Geeeeeesharkmap: is it overheating.04:24
artichokui've never did custom partitioning, and because i don't want to run backtrack off a live disk anymore04:25
urlin2uJosh|KilljoyX23, back track is for tumbs not hard drives.04:25
urlin2uthumbs04:25
Josh|KilljoyX23i have it on VM04:25
sharkmapno. temp is pretty cool. cooler than when it ran xp04:25
dr_willisbacktrack and ubuntu are still linux at the core.. learn the fundamentals.. and it wont matter. :)04:25
hydrox24Josh|KilljoyX23: I'm not sure if doing a normal install is better than wubi, but I am happy to help with the normal install04:25
urlin2uJosh|KilljoyX23, even worse.04:25
GeeeeeeCheers, i might give 10.4 ago.04:25
sharkmapive had it going for the last 6 hours04:26
dr_willisI see way to many people 'using back track' when they have no  real need for the features/reasons it exists.. :)04:26
=== paulus68_ is now known as paulus68
artichokudr_willis, i want the ubuntu eye candy. they're both technically ubuntu04:26
Josh|KilljoyX23Ah, well ill fix that when im more linux fluent. What exactly would i need to do to convert to a normal install?04:26
urlin2udr_willis, hallelujah . :D04:26
dr_willisartichoku:  i suggest just dumpting backtrack and using it from a live setup if you ever (rarely) need it.04:27
artichoku<--- i test network security04:27
sharkmap11.10 ran very slow and locked. 10.4 is faster and more responsive04:27
hydrox24Josh|KilljoyX23: OK, well you'll need someone elses help for going from WUBI to a normal install but I can help you with a straight normal install04:27
artichokuit's not a rare occasion04:27
zanecan someone help me get my belkin wireless usb adapter working? i have done 'sudo mv rtil8192sfw.bin /lib/firmware/RTL819SU/' and it doesn't work?04:27
hydrox24artichoku: maybe for you...04:27
dr_willisthats why bt is made for running from a live cd/flash...04:28
Geeeeeesharkmap: did you dual boot it or just reformat it as ubuntu?04:28
dr_willisbut this is getting ot...04:28
hydrox24zane: have you tried adding the restricted drivers using the "additional drivers panel"/04:28
artichokuthis conversation got weird. i just wanted to know about dual booting and my partition setup04:28
zanehydrox24: tried that, doesn't work. i'm using 10.1004:28
sharkmapi tried to resize the partition but that failed, so I just blew xp away and installed on the entire 20GB haed drive04:29
zanehydrox24: the chipset is a RTL8188SU04:29
hydrox24when you plug it in, does nothing happen?04:30
zanehydrox24: well dmesg reports it being identified, but it's not being initialized and 'iwconfig' doesn't show it04:30
zanehydrox24: it doesn't light up either04:30
hydrox24zane: does ifconfig -a show it?04:31
zanehydrox24: no04:31
sharkmapi must admit, I am a beginner at this. It is basically my first Linux install ever.04:31
hydrox24ok04:32
hydrox24zane: wait a minute04:32
zanehydrox24: ok04:32
hydrox24sharkmap: that's OK04:32
sharkmapthanks. I'm giving myself a pat on the back for getting the laptop to work. 11.10 was so slow I thought the laptop was a gonner.04:33
dr_willisartichoku:  use custom partioning schemd. or other tools to resize and make a partion to use for /, swap can be shared if you dont use hibernate/suspend04:33
sharkmapi did install 11.10 onto a usb stick and try a live install on my desktop to see how it would run. its a lot quicker than the laptop was04:35
JackAnansiHi, I installed Lubuntu, and I was wondering how to change the resolution of the tty (ctrl-alt- [1-6] ) screen. It seems to be exceeding my monitor's max, so I'm getting an "Input out of range" message04:35
GeeeeeeTo uninstall wubi/ubuntu, do i just delete the files from my C drive?04:36
hydrox24Geeeeee: let me check04:36
dr_willisGeeeeee:  wubis main feature is it installs/uninstalls via the windows add/remove programs tool04:37
dr_willisyou dont 'just delete the files'04:37
Geeeeeeits not in the add/remove thing04:37
dr_willisyou can access your wubi install from a full install of ubuntu, or vrom a live cd ifyou wanted to..04:38
dr_willisGeeeeee:  somthings weird then. wubi defainatly should have an entry there04:38

dr_willisNo idea. I make it a point to stay far away from wubi. :)04:39
zanehydrox24: already been there and looked at that04:40
Geeeeeeyeah i want to get rid of it.04:40
Geeeeeegot it, its uninstalling now04:41
hydrox24zane: what resulted from your attempt?04:41
urlin2uGeeeeee, wubi not showing inn the add remove, you have to have admin access.04:42
zanehydrox24: nada04:42
hydrox24so it didn't work?04:42
hydrox24what went wrong?04:42
Geeeeeei do have admin access.04:43

LukeNukem_i tried browsing to to the ntfs partition, but its not showing in wine config05:09
LinuxApprenticewhy does 'modprobe ndiswrapper' report 'module not found' when i have ndiswrapper installed?05:09
dr_willisLukeNukem_:  you can mount it whever you want and access it as if it was a folder from within wine apps.05:10
dr_willisLukeNukem_:  ie: /media/windata  or whatever05:10
LukeNukem_dr_willis, its mounted, i want to install wine applications on that, how do i do this?05:10

hydrox24LukeNukem_: try this:05:10
LukeNukem_dr_willis, z is /05:11
dr_willisLukeNukem_: so it will be z:/media/whatveritsmountedto/05:11
hydrox24LukeNukem_: actually, do you want to use it as your WINE folder (like .wine) or as an actual drive IN WINE?05:11
paraisoI just did a bunch of updates and now Ubuntu doesn't "see" any wifi networks (including mine).  How would I go about troubleshooting this problem?05:11
LukeNukem_hydrox24, want to use it as a drive in WINE05:11
LukeNukem_so i can install windows programs onto that partition05:11
LukeNukem_:D05:11

LukeNukem_uhuh next05:12
dr_willisLukeNukem_:   you can still install them to z:/whatever05:12
hydrox24then do to the drives tab05:12
bobo37773LinuxApprentice: Did you reboot since installation?05:12
dr_willisbut setting up W: to point to /media/whatever may be easier05:12
LinuxApprenticebobo37773: yes05:12
LukeNukem_dr_willis, im installing adobe programs, they are about 8 GB or so. i dont want to take that much space up from my linux partition05:13
LukeNukem_hydrox24, ok there05:13
dr_willisLukeNukem_:  you could always link your .wine dir to be on that partition.05:13
dr_willis:)05:13
hydrox24LukeNukem_: Then after going into the drives tab, click the add button05:13
semitonesis it still best to install windows first, then ubuntu when you're dual booting?05:13

deper29is it possible to have it automatically do that every time I log in?06:15

Blue1deper29: :-( I have had problems with that, so I backup /home and /etc and install fresh06:17
deper29Blue1: I had this problem before when I tried to do a clean install. I just installed 10.04 as a work around06:17
Blue1deper29: yeah that's a viable work around - I had problems with 11.04 so went back to 10.10 on one machine, and to debian on the other.06:17
cipher__Can I easily change the Ubuntu splash / boot screen?06:18
deper29Blue1: so a fresh install doesn't seem to be my fix. the nomodeset thing fixes it, but i have to edit each time I boot on. is there a way to have that happen all the time?06:18

tiox[priority: low] I've encountered a rather strange bug with Grub. For some reason or another, even though my USB drive with an alternate installation of a Linux system is disconnected and nowhere near my machine, Grub still sees the drive mounted on /dev/sdb2.07:15
tioxWhich means, each time I boot up, the drive is seen, even though it really isn't there.07:15
chris__LukeNukem, sudo apt-get install mountmanager07:16
tioxI don't know exactly what is going on here. If I rebooted into it, would it fix this nagging issue?07:19
agu10^Ubuntu sucks at even using screens at proper resolution07:19
tioxagu10^: sudo apt-get install arandr07:19

tioxagu10^: Ubuntu sucks about as much as Windows. I know from experience, when I upgraded the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator on his Windows Vista installation, I couldn't make his HDTV fit exactly within the screen. His laptop uses a non-standard resolution, which for some reason confuses Windows and is teh suxxorz.07:22
agu10^Randr extension missing07:22
tioxWhat??07:23
tioxGo into a term and type in whereis xrandr07:23
tioxIs the output "xrandr: /usr/bin/xrandr /usr/share/man/man1/xrandr.1.gz"?07:23
agu10^Xrandr is there07:23
tioxI mean, f the man page is detected, then the packages for it are installed.07:23
tioxHmmm... what's your video card?07:24
agu10^Arandr says randr is not there07:24
agu10^Ati radeon 573007:24
tioxThat's poppycock. You have all the stuff for your ATI video card to function installed right?07:24
tioxI am not entirely sure about you as I use Intel video on my laptop -- No choice.07:25
agu10^Yea07:25
almoxarifetiox: stuff? what stuff?07:25
tioxAren't there specific software packages for ATI?07:25
agu10^I have therm07:26
agu10^The drivers07:26
almoxarifeagu10^: share your problem again if you dont mind07:27
tioxHmmm... someone enlighten me here. Would his drivers somehow take precedence over xrandr, and disable randr for any reason?07:27
agu10^_almoxarife: whenever I try to set the proper resolution for my second screen, I get this error: "required virtual size does not fit available size: requested=(1920, 1968), minimum=(320, 200), maximum=(1920, 1920)"07:29

MayankHi anyone knows about a similar program/utility like Connectify for Windows. It allows me to setup my machine as a Wifi Router. I do not want to setup an AdHoc.07:29

Blue1dunno the windows programme - sorry...07:31
agu10^_fuck you, ubuntu! 5 hours just trying to get a screen at proper resolution07:31
tioxSee agu10^_, the reason I suggested arandr is because it's an easy-to-use utility to fix that sort of thing.07:31
tioxBut, it seems it's being problematic in your PC.07:31
agu10^_tiox: except it doesn't even run07:31
tioxMind, I haver had this problem with randr EVER, so some patience and dilligence will get you what you want eventually.07:32

agu10^_there's no outputs07:33
Blue1Mayank: Idon't think so, however it does allow me to use the wireless connect, while allowing me to plug another computer into the ethernet port.07:33
tioxYep. Sounds like you have arandr going.07:33
almoxarifeagu10^_: what drivers did you use?07:34
tioxSO under outputs, the second monitor, or whatever is not seen?07:34

almoxarifeagu10^_: specifics, not flrgx?07:35
agu10^_but for some reason they're inside a square that's not big enough to fit both07:35
tioxAlright, if that is the case, then switch on the one you want active.07:35
agu10^_almoxarife: what?07:35
tioxThen after that, adjust the screens to what you like. The one closest to the top left is primary monitor.07:35
almoxarifeagu10^_: specifics, not flrgx? , the drivers you installed???07:35
agu10^_tiox: man, i want both active07:35
agu10^_almoxarife: flrgx07:36
agu10^_what's specifics?07:36
tioxThen under the Outputs menu of arandr, see if you can't flip the blasted monitor on!07:36
agu10^_tiox: they're both on. at wrong resolution07:36
almoxarifeagu10^_: can you pastebin Xorg.0.log07:36
kasiihi07:36
tioxThen adjust the resolution.07:36
agu10^_there's a square of 1920x1920. both screens won't fit in there at proper resolution07:36

urlin2usemitones, do you have a master slave setup, and did you put the new on in the master?07:39

agu10^_because for some reason they both have to be inside a 1920x1920 area...07:45
agu10^_which doesn't remotely happen in windows07:45
agu10^_Idk what's ubuntu's issue that wants a "virtual" space of only 1920x192007:46

dfcnvtI'm planning on going to upgrade my computer & I predict it will switch to TABS on my left side of the desktop... I don't mind to have that on my laptop but since I'm using a desktop computer... I will find it annoying to have a TABS on my left side of the Desktop.. How do you go about reversing back to normal theme? (bars bottom & top with 'Applications Places System' tabs)08:34

icerootsemitones: dont delete that drive, the system wont boot then08:36
icerootsemitones: file08:36
urlin2udfcnvt, this will tell you.   lsb_release -a08:36
theadminsemitones: Just make sure it points to the proper drive/partition, best of all use UUIDs, but if you can't, then labels, and if you can't, then dev nodes (which seems to be what you are using now)08:36

Evilkiss1theadmin: not working...then I put /nick Evilkiss, it's inform me "The nickname "Evilkiss" is already being used"08:38
theadminEvilkiss1: /msg nickserv identify Evilkiss PASSWORD and after that /msg nickserv ghost Evilkiss and, finally, /nick Evilkiss08:38
Jordan_UEvilkiss1: That's because you're connected as Evilkiss from another client already.08:38

urlin2udfcnvt, the next release is in develop ment 12.04 not a good upgrade08:39
theadminmeganerd: That doesn't really work, it shows the UUIDs but doesn't tell you what is what, heh08:39
Jordan_Utheadmin: ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/08:39
Evilkiss1meganerd: yes, it's me08:39

dfcnvturlin2u: I've just upgraded recently, I'm required to restart the system but I'd like to wait until I'm done with something... So, I assume I will be facing the TABS on the left side of the desktop.08:40
theadminmeganerd: Yeah, I know, I just didn't realise what you meant by "look in" xD08:40
meganerdtheadmin: :)08:40
meganerdtheadmin: I guess I did not give a particularly detailed answer08:41
urlin2udfcnvt, the stock desktop for both is unity with the panel on the left there is gnome 3 and about 50 other de's08:41
semitonesI thought the point of UUID was to not mess up when you added a harddrive :(08:41
theadminmeganerd: True, but ah well, it does make sense08:41
=== Evilkiss1 is now known as Evilkiss
Evilkissfinally08:41
semitonesthis is what the fstab looks like currently: http://paste.ubuntu.com/819747/08:42
meganerdsemitones: a UUID is simply a unique ID08:42
theadminsemitones: UUIDs aren't... really unique. I once had a problem with my Android device when the internal storage and the sd card ended up having same UUIDs and I had to format one of them to fix it. Funny, huh?08:42
semitonesah ok08:42
EvilkissThank you for everyone, who help me08:42
semitonestheadmin: how can I use labels instead? the root is labeled "ubunturoot" and /home is labeled "Linux Home"08:42
swat_is there a way of clicking on the twitter alerts that come up?08:42
swat_in ubuntu08:42
urlin2usemitones, just to comment if you had run the bootscript I requested it would tell us the fstab and much more.08:42
theadminsemitones: /dev/disk/by-label/ubnturoot, and, uh... I don't think labels can have spaces08:43
dfcnvturlin2u: So I assume gnome3 responsible for that change? Is there such preference/options to change back to my current old system?08:43
dfcnvttheme*08:43
semitonesurlin2u: I ran it and it didn't work (expected 'fi')08:43
meganerdtheadmin: semitones labels do not support spaces08:43
urlin2usemitones, it makes a text file to pastebin, you have to unpack the file.08:43
meganerdI do make heavy use of labels, especially on USB devices08:44
urlin2udfcnvt, can you take a screen shot of your desktop and imagebin it?08:44
dfcnvtSure08:44
urlin2u!imagebin | dfcnvt08:44
ubottudfcnvt: Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://imagebin.org/?page=add and post a link to it.08:44
semitonesurlin2u: what can I tell you, the script didn't run. even after I installed gawk08:44
urlin2usemitones, hmm strange.08:45
theadminmeganerd: Indeed lol, I have my system installed on an external drive so I address stuff in fstab via /dev/disk/by-label, mostly cause I just don't want to mess with UUIDs08:45

meganerdXourii: put a "." and a "/" in front of the "secondlife" file10:05
Xouriimeganerd: by renaming it?10:05
AlanBellXourii: you should be able to just double click the secondlife file in the directory10:06
meganerdXourii: I am assuming that you have a command prompt open have used "cd" to go in to the folder10:06

AlanBellXourii: ok, using the file manager you can go into the folder and doubleclick the file called secondlife. Alternatively you can start gnome-terminal and do "cd foldername" followed by "./secondlife" the dot slash means run the command called secondlife which is locasted in the current directory10:09

rabbi1how to remove a subtitle from a avi file and then add an another ?10:28
meganerdtarelerulz: nope, have not done that10:29
meganerdrabbi1: are the subs hard coded then?10:29
dr_willisrabbi1:  depends on how its encoded in. but ffmpeg, and/or mencoder should be able to do it. They have extensve docs on subtitles and info about them in their FAQ's i recall10:29
AlanBellXourii: http://people.ubuntu.com/~alanbell/secondlifefiles.png is what the directory of stuff you extracted should look like. If it does not then extract it again, SecondLife just works, the errors you were getting indicate the etc subfolder or some files in them are not there10:29

tarelerulzSo far I have sent file to and from the phone via Bluetooth  and I'm using the 3g via bluetooth  now.10:31
metaspikeXourii, did you try sh ./secondlife ?10:31
metaspikeas opposed to just ./secondlife10:31
XouriiAlanBell: I don't know what an etc. subfolder is, but When I go to the folder i extracted the stuff into, and search for that file, the exact filename you mentioned comes up10:31
Xouriimetaspike: yes, it asked me what to install it to and i wan't sure what to put in.10:32
metaspike~/games/secondlife would suffice10:32
dr_willisrabbi1:  if subdownloader finds and downloads the proper subtitle files. you can then use a player like vlc and tell it what subtitle file to use.10:32
dr_willisrabbi1:  no need to merge the subtitle file into the video10:33
rabbi1dr_willis: but i am unable to disable the existing subtitle. that's more imp to me10:33
metaspikesily game xD10:33
vibhavIs there anything like visudo for gtk apps?10:33
dr_willisrabbi1:  IF the subtitle is hardcoded into the video.. then someone put it in the actual frames of the video. and you cant just remove it.10:34
AlanBellXourii: does the directory look exactly like my screenshot?10:34
tarelerulzCan you share the phone audio via bluetooth  in Ubuntu ?10:34
XouriiAlanBell: where is your screenshot?10:34
mongyrabbi1, to remove the subtitles in the video do ffmpeg -i input.avi -vcodec copy -acodec copy -sn output.avi10:34
AlanBellXourii: with app_settings, bin, character etc10:34
AlanBellhttp://people.ubuntu.com/~alanbell/secondlifefiles.png10:34
rabbi1mongy: ok, will give it a try... toomany different software to be used in here.10:35
dr_willisrabbi1:  if they are not hardcoded in then mongy 's command should work.  of course if they were not hardcoded in. you should be able to tell the video plaer to not show them also.10:35
XouriiAlanBell: that was what it looked like before i extracted it10:35
mongyrabbi1, what dr_willis  said.10:36

dr_willisit gets real fun when you have video files with several differnt subtitle and audio streams.10:36
AlanBellXourii: right, well you extracted it wrong then. It needs to look like that, with the subfolder structure. if you download the .tar.bz2 file again and click extract all then it should preserve the folder structure10:36
rabbi1dr_willis: not to show subtitle is disabled in "movie player" for that video10:36
dr_willisrabbi1:  sounds like they are hard-coded in.10:37
tarelerulzVLC is the best with subtitles  and  XBMC is ok .  Subtitles  format is best to use the sub and idx from the source.10:37
dr_willisie: built into the actual video.10:37

estanhi folks. i've just installed oracle java manually from their website on my parent's computer, since my dad uses this silly java applet for playing chess and it only works with oracle java. but how do i make the plugin recognized by browsers (firefox and chrome)?10:43
SickTanick36hey10:44
theadminestan: They provide the instructions for that on the site, do read. It's basically about copying a .so file somewhere to /usr/share/mozilla/plugins or something like that.10:44
estani've followed instructions and added the new java to PATH and JAVA_HOME, so the java binary is found. but how do i tell browsers where the plugin is?10:44
estantheadmin: ah. great. i guess a symlink would work as well?10:44
XouriiAlanBell: Can't I just run it from the directory I unpacked it into?10:44
theadminestan: Guess so. Read it on the site for details, again, I haven't used Oracle's java in quite a while (actually, I have, but my distribution packages it in a sane way, unlike Ubuntu)10:46
estantheadmin: yep. found the page now. thanks. (i also use openjdk on my own computer (arch), but they have this ancient ubuntu install here)10:47

ubottuSharky: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default.  To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool".  For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic12:55

sstaaguitel: both cards are the same model13:54
KongstadHi, I have issues with my graphic card in Ubuntu 10.04. My card is Geforce 210. Despite installed Nvidia_current 290.10 I cannot enable 3D and searching for the 'Hardware Drivers' only reports 'This driver is activated but not currently in use'. I have been searching the net, but not found a solution. Hopefully someone can offer me help.13:54

christiantarryyeah thats what im thinking15:45
christiantarryI might stick with Java.15:46
LjLgentoofan: uhm $() should work according to the manual, weird15:46
sstachristiantarry: python/ruby are most definitely NOT dead.  They're both also excellent languages for learning with.15:46
Desert_Rat15:46
christiantarryAtleast then it'll be easier for me to fall back on nodejs/javascript technologies that are pretty common these days15:46

tucemiuxem, with ubuntu nowadays just delete the partition of the 2nd Os, upgrade grub, done15:52
gentoofanHypothetically speaking, if I format my drive with ZFS and install ubuntu in rpool/ROOT/ubuntu and gentoo in rpool/ROOT/gentoo, I could just change the bootfs property and then delete the dataset of the one I don't like.15:53

Guest89070hi guys! i have ubuntu 10.04, and i want ubuntu studio! How i can do this?16:37
biohazard135i can't figure out what is wrong, ssh is just so slow, everything else is fine.16:37

SystemParadoxbiohazard135, slow login or slow in general?16:39
biohazard135slow in general, login takes around 30 seconds to appear16:39
biohazard135after typing the password theres nothing16:39
biohazard135i've had a window open for almost 10 minutes and nothing is showing up16:39
SystemParadoxbut once you eventually get the prompt, is it normal?16:39
biohazard135i did once and no it was seriously laggy16:39
a-sainthello guys is zsh recommended on ubuntu16:39
biohazard135i type a character and it shows up a few seconds later16:40
AlanBellbiohazard135: is it a bad VPS, like on an overloaded host and constantly swapping out to disk?16:40

Myrttihombre: hello, do you have an Ubuntu support question or problem?16:43
AlanBellbiohazard135: I would suggest contacting them for support. Generally Ubuntu connects fine to other ubuntu machines over ssh, I can't see it being a problem at the client end. Probably DNS resolution, or overloaded host swapping your VPS out to disk16:44
Netlynx8616:44
mongybiohazard135, sounds like a bad vps.  I had one like that..  I'm with urpad.net now.  very fast16:45
biohazard135hmm, i've had the vps for a few months,16:45
biohazard135it's never had any issues16:46
biohazard135i'll keep trying other options before contacting them16:46
AlanBellbiohazard135: sure, they might have added more VPSes to the host you are on and overdone it a bit16:46

grungekidHey guys, Very quick question. I am using an ATI card with ubuntu 11.10 with proprietary drivers. The performance on unity is terrible(laggy window dragging etc) so I have had to switch to unity 2d. Is this a known issue and should I just assume that the ati drivers are shoddy and stick with unity 2d? Cheers for your help :)16:49
acovrigI can't boot, I get "udevd[.....]: specified group '<a list of users>' unknown"; this is a fres kubuntu install to an 80GB HDD16:49

biohazard135i'll try it, i've only run with -xC so far.16:52
thiebaudegrungekid, my only problem is the dragging of windows, but otherwise its ok on my laptopn, but my desktop with nvidia is awesome16:53
thiebaudelaptop16:53
biohazard135hmm, i see a lot of debug info16:54
wildwindWhat can I do if Ubuntu (or maybe my DVD drive?) cannot detect one particular DVD-R disc? This disc is recognized OK on another machine with Win 7.16:54
grungekidYeah it was fine on my other nvidia laptop. Think I'm just going have to leave it on unity 2d. I find some higher end websites using heavy flash run slow on unity 2d too. Plus the window buttons don't highlight when an app is windowed which is rather annoying16:54
grungekidsorry the websites run slowly on unity 3d16:55

grungekidYeah I'm beginning to regret it but this laptop was cheap so it was kind of an impulse purchase. I will just have to stick it out I think. Can't believe a large company like ATI have such poor linux support16:56
thiebaudeagree 100%16:57
wildwindbullgard4: does k3b require kde?16:57
bullgard4wildwind: I am using k3b in a GNOME Shell 3.2.1 environment.16:57
grungekidThe open source drivers runs fantastic but the power usage is too high and it gives me like half the battery life of the proprietary :(16:58
bullgard4wildwind: k3b requires a lot of KDE packages though.16:58
dr_willisk3b uses several qt libs and may need some kde parts as well16:58

biohazard135paulu68: ssh is already secure17:04
udinnetI'm using a gigabit network17:05
Ririshigeoffmcc: I downloaded the i386 version, where does i386 stand for, then? Do you think the AMD64 version will work?17:05
geoffmccpaulus68: setup keys to connect and change ssh port to non standard 22. also something like fail2ban17:05
Nach0zpaulus68: biohazard135 is right, SSH is already secure, but if you want extra security just get yourself a large RSA key.17:05
Nach0zRirishi: i386 is 32-bit, AMD64 is 64-bit.17:05
flowerpoti386 is 32-bit; AMD64 is 64-bit; you can probably use the former on the latter architecture, but you can't use the latter on the former architecture17:05
geoffmccRirishi: if it freezing it could be a bad download or burn. the i386 is the 32bit. like i said either should work.17:06

Nach0zRirishi: that means your download probably went bad. Re-download the ISO file, and check the MD5 sums when you're done.17:08
wolffbiohazard135 yea i downloaded it fresh this morning17:08
wolffillcheck that out17:08

wolffurlin2u yea i tried everything from update to -f install17:14
Nach0zkah_: Try running those rvm commands using sudo. looks like you don't have permission to create the "project" directory, so you'll need to run the create and use as root, or you need to fix your file permissions in that directory17:14
urlin2uwolff, can you give us a clue on the apps that have a 404 you may need to adjust the sources.list to open a repo.17:15
biohazard135maybe he could upload sources.list?17:16

Nach0zkah_: you need to go to the directory where it's trying to create the folder, and chown that directory to yourself.17:18
biohazard135geoffmcc: using the ip address of the server (vps), it's on 22 and i doubt theres any robots brute forcing, i can check with putty if you want as it's very fast.17:18
SystemParadoxbiohazard135, sorry I'm in and out. Can you pastebin the full stack of ssh -vvv -x, with a clear mark where it gets stuck17:19
geoffmccbiohazard135: if it on port 22 chances are someone from china or russa is trying to brute force you.. see /var/log/auth17:19
biohazard135systemparadox: your back! yeah, i'll put it on pastebin.17:19
Ririshiwildwind: Im on my ipod now, it just started Ubuntu.17:19
Nach0zbiohazard135: I'd suggest moving your sshd port to something weird. keeps people from trying to brute-force17:19
geoffmccbiohazard135: if your going to stay on 22 i would recomend fail2ban.17:19
wolffurlin2u http://paste.ubuntu.com/820272/17:20

biohazard135the very last line, it hangs forever.17:20
kah_Nach0z: sorry, what does chown mean?17:21
pangolinchown = change owner17:21
biohazard135yeah, the two computers in my house, my gaming/main pc (windows) and my laptop (ubuntu) both are on the same network (behind nat) so the same IP.17:21
acovrigkah_: CHange OwNer17:21
kah_ah, ok17:21
Nach0zkah_: it's a command. "chown <user> <directory> -R" will set all subdirectories in <directory> to be owned by <user>17:22
RirishiNach0z: I started from CD and selected Install Ubuntu. It freezes at the next screen now..17:22
gh0ztkah_: lets you change the woner and group.  but be careful with it.17:22
SystemParadoxbiohazard135, aha! I just did ssh -x -vvv on mine and the last line I get before the shell prompt is: "debug2: shell request accepted on channel 0"17:22
kah_is there a way to copy and paste the <directory> part?17:22
Nach0zRirishi: I.... don't know how to help from there bud. might be your computer itself is messed up :/17:23
SystemParadoxbiohazard135, yours then complains that channel 0: write failed17:23
RirishiNach0z: WHUT?!17:23
Nach0zkah_: directory should be whatever directory you're in. try ./ for <directory>17:23
gh0ztyou can just give it the full path to what you want to chown17:23
SystemParadoxbiohazard135, if you can find a way to get vvv output from putty that might also be useful17:23
geoffmccbiohazard135: what confuses me is that you say in windows using putty it works good but outside of windows it dont. You issue has got to be some form of networking problem17:23
Nach0zRirishi: dunno bro. I have no idea. sorry17:23
RirishiNach0z: okay.. Too bad17:23
biohazard135SystemParafox: I'm not sure how to do that, I'll see if putty has logs.17:24

wolffurlin2u you still there?17:24
SystemParadoxbiohazard135, if you can setup a guest account, try it with both machines and see if it's still the same, then I'll try it from here and see what I get.17:24

biohazard135SystemParadox: ok, sounds good17:25

geoffmccSystemParadox: Biohazard135: I concur, i came to same conlusion, but i am shy so i didnt ask for login, lol17:25
SystemParadoxbiohazard135, at the moment it looks like there's something broken on the server, some setting that only the linux client is activating17:25
urlin2uwolff, run the sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras again and pastebin the results as well after opening the sources list with sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and put a # in front of this line deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 11.10 _Oneiric Ocelot_ - Release amd64 (20111012)]/ oneiric main restricted17:25

nopfapplepie: not really. with modern processor virtualizing extensions the performance loss is <= 2 i'd suppose. anyhow i was mostly joking. the real question is: why you use windows? why ask here? you only want c++ where you have windows and cannot reinstall? then vbox *is* an solution20:35

mongygoldeneye,  :(  there is a known bug with an upgrade with your hardware.  I suggest trying out a livecd/liveusb, make sure sound works  and if it's not too much trouble, install fresh20:35
DJones!nounity | al_nz120:36
ubottual_nz1: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default.  To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool".  For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic20:36

mongyBen64, you need to install firmware then.  sudo apt-get install firmware-b4-installer20:58
goldeneyeyeats: well it may be, but sound never worked for me !20:59
mongygoldeneye, being an LTS you can upgrade from 10.04 to 12.04 LTS when released.  It's a very stable Os20:59
mongygoldeneye, though, you may need to enable backports and upgrade alsa modules.20:59
acerimmergoldeneye: sticking with LTS releases can seriously lower ubuntu related stress.20:59
yeatsgoldeneye: thought you said you went from 8.X to 11.04 :-/?20:59

dr_willisi dont think pcmanfm has that feature :)22:31
mongydr_willis, resize icons ?  does22:32
xanguamk: Control+scroll up/down ; like you do in the browser ;)22:32

ishikawamk: remember, there is also ls, cp, mv, chmod, etc.22:36
mongyok thunar then, thumbnails with little spacing22:36
dr_williscomparing Nautilus to pcmanfm here - Nautilus seems to have more varity in the sizes it can use for the image previews22:38
mkI've got dconf open. There's a thumbnail-size setting, which I increased from 64 to 12022:38
mksadly, no change. yet when I click the labels-beside-icons bool setting, it switches in my open naut window22:39
mongymk, you want little to no space between icons/thumbnails?  use thunar or pcmanfm22:39
mongyseems like gnome3 deemed that option obselete22:40
mkI worry about switching, since I'm rather used to nautilus. I've got network bookmarks in there, and so on.22:41

mafatahnahey guest... can help me about play movie from DVD player (extention .vob) and we have choose a few subtitle include from DVD?23:26
xerxes73aciculus: cool, what are the commands for that?23:26
bastidrazorxerxes73: add the host names and ips in /etc/hosts on both boxes23:26
acerimmerdreamy_: state a specific issue23:26
aciculaxerxes73: are you using the ip of the other host? can you ping the ip even?23:27
mafatahnacan any help me..,23:27
ArtarianGuys anyway to adjust scroll speed on ubuntu?23:27
brerrabbitdo you have to set up bind to run an ubuntu vps?23:27
xerxes73bastidrazor: okay, and I get the ips from running ifconfig on both?  or do I se them somehow?23:27
mafatahnai try use vlc and totem don't can23:27
aciculabrerrabbit: no23:27
xerxes73acicula: no i can't ping between them but I can ping things like www.slashdot.org from both23:27
brerrabbitacicule: Even if the vps is it's own nameserver?23:28
bastidrazorxerxes73: ifconfig will give you the ip's of each.23:28
xerxes73i haven't done anything to set up the ips or anything like that so I really haven't done anything to set them up23:28
xerxes73can i run a command to do this manually before I modify /etc/hosts just to see if this will work?23:28
ArtarianGuys anyway to adjust scroll speed on ubuntu????23:29
bastidrazorxerxes73: if your ip's are dynamically given by your access point then setting them in /etc/hosts will be pointless.23:29
pinesandblueberrHi23:29
pinesandblueberrI need some help with code.23:29
brerrabbitmember:acicula: Even if the vps is it's own nameserver?23:29
pinesandblueberrHow do i add libs to mingw?23:30
xerxes73bastidrazor: okay, so do i just look at ipconfig and see what they are set to on each.  Another thing is that i have some documentation for one of the boxes (it is an embedded board) and it says that eth0 is 192.168.0.50 and to talk to it, it says set your host to be 192.168.0.51 (the embedded board being the target vs the host).  But this doesn't make any sense to me23:30
aciculabrerrabbit: either you use the dns server of whoever is registering your domain name or you provide your own23:31
xerxes73To get both boxes to talk to the internet I issued a "dhclient eth0" command23:31
aciculapinesandblueberr: you are trying to install mingw ?23:32
pinesandblueberracicula: i am trying to compile cpp with lua in mingw23:33
brerrabbitacicula: the hosting provider for the vps, provided 2 nameservers which have the same ip as my server...no additional configuration is required?23:33
bastidrazorxerxes73: use ifconfig on each to get the ip. use the ip in the scp command.23:33
brerrabbitacicula: the ubuntu server guide isn't terribly illuminating on this matter23:34
FesterJesterNext question. How do I create a dynamic hostname in my custom live cd23:34
aciculaFesterJester: you set it at boot, or get it from dhcp23:35
ArtarianGuys anyway to adjust scroll speed on ubuntu????23:35
aciculabrerrabbit: that means for any subdomains for your domain a dns server is expected on that ip23:35
aciculapinesandblueberr: maybe try the mingw channel on this server ?23:36
FesterJesterHow do I do that without using a custom script?23:36
aciculaArtarian: maybe you can adjust it in the mouse settings?23:36
pinesandblueberrno one in there acicula23:36
brerrabbitacicula: so, that means bind.23:36
Artarianacicula, thanks for good will but there is no such thing23:37
aciculaArtarian: under system->preferences ?23:37
xerxes73bastidrazor: I got it to work.  Thanks.23:37
Artarianacicula, there is a mouse settings but you cant fchange the scroll speed there23:38
aciculabrerrabbit: yup, or get your subdomains registered with the same registrar23:38
aciculaArtarian: i see, then i dont know, sorry23:38
brerrabbitAcicula.  Great!   Thank you for the illumination.23:38
bastidrazorxerxes73: ubuntu will broadcast its hostname on the local network. from the debian box use your ubuntuHostname.local to access it regardless of the ubuntu IP23:39
aciculapinesandblueberr: hmm well 31 people is not nobody, but i dont think you will have much luck here either. maybe mingw has a support mailing list or forum you can try?23:39
xerxes73Basitidrazor: is there a way I can get one of my boxes to connect to the internet (which I do with dhclient eth0) and have the address 192.168.0.50.  It seems that if I set the address with ifconfig than it can no longer connect to the internet....?23:40
aciculaFesterJester: no idea23:40
damo22anyone want to try my MIDI Alsa peer to peer client on ubuntu?23:40

bastidrazorxerxes73: if your access point or router hands out that ip to it, then yes.23:41
xerxes73bastidrazor: I realize these questions are pretty dumb on my part I just don't get it yet.....so I would ask my access point or router to give me 192.168.0.50?23:43
damo22his router doesnt have to give out the address, it can be static23:43
FesterJesteracicula: I have already wrote a script that will change the hostname, but it will not take effect until I reboot. Any idea on how to make it work on first boot?23:43
bastidrazorxerxes73: you would set a static ip for your box based on your MAC, you will set all this in your router23:43
bastidrazorxerxes73: i'm assuming your router is your dhcp server23:44
aciculaFesterJester: i think you can just use service hostname restart to make the changed hostname take effect23:44
damo22so long as the subnet and netmask matches between the router and the machine, the router doesnt have to give out the ip, the local machine can set its own ip and still use the router as a gateway23:44
xerxes73bastidrazor: I don't know it is a netgear wireless router with a hub.....so what that is i don't know23:45
bastidrazor!hostname | FesterJester23:45
ubottuFesterJester: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hosts to include BOTH the old and new hostname and then change /etc/hostname to the new one. WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly.23:45
eossthere any program in ubuntu similar to that in cisco routers dealing with access lists for network firewall23:45
