[04:31] <gfarmer> anyone around to help with a display issue?
[04:32] <JoseeAntonioR> gfarmer Yes :)
[04:32] <gfarmer> awesome! I'm having trouble playing video on my second display
[04:32] <gfarmer> using VGA
[04:33] <gfarmer> everything else works, but video will only play on my primary monitor
[04:33] <JoseeAntonioR> Can you please give me the output of sudo lshw -C display; lsb_release -a; uname -a ?
[04:34] <JoseeAntonioR> Please paste it in pastebin.ubuntu.com
[04:34] <JoseeAntonioR> You can copy the output with Ctrl+Shift+C
[04:37] <gfarmer> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/827275/
[04:38] <gfarmer> that was withouth the second display hooked up
[04:39] <gfarmer> nm, didn't change the output of sudo lshw -C display
[04:39] <JoseeAntonioR> Can you please connect the second display and re-run the command?
[04:39] <gfarmer> I did and it was the same I think
[04:40] <JoseeAntonioR> Ok. Can you change the resolution on your first monitor?
[04:40] <gfarmer> sure, to what
[04:40] <JoseeAntonioR> I was asking if there are no problems when changing the resolution.
[04:40] <gfarmer> oh, yeah
[04:41] <gfarmer> primary is netbook and secondary is a TV
[04:41] <gfarmer> I can change resolution on both no problem
[04:41] <gfarmer> but video only works on primary unless I mirror the displays
[04:42] <JoseeAntonioR> That is what I was going to ask
[04:43] <gfarmer> actually, I don't think video works on either now when I have both plugged in
[04:44] <JoseeAntonioR> Are you using shared screens? I mean, can you move a window from screen 1 to screen 2?
[04:44] <gfarmer> yes
[04:44] <JoseeAntonioR> Have you tried to open the video player on screen 1, and then move it to screen 2?
[04:44] <gfarmer> yeah
[04:44] <JoseeAntonioR> And what happens? Do you still have the problem?
[04:45] <gfarmer> I just realized that I can't get video on screen 1 to work if I have screen 2 on as a shared screen
[04:45] <gfarmer> so it doesn't work on either in that situation
[04:46] <JoseeAntonioR> Then, I really can't help you, I don't know what to do in this case. Sorry.
[04:46] <gfarmer> ha, ok
[04:46] <gfarmer> it's rather strange
[04:47] <JoseeAntonioR> Yes, because everything except video works
[04:47] <gfarmer> like I said, with mirroring, it doesn't have a problem
[04:47] <gfarmer> oh well, maybe it's a bug
[04:47] <JoseeAntonioR> Can be
[04:48] <gfarmer> could it be that my graphics card just can't handle the load?
[04:48] <gfarmer> this is a netbook integrated card
[04:49] <JoseeAntonioR> Maybe. Have you tried searching for that?
[04:50] <gfarmer> for that card?
[04:51] <gfarmer> I didn't find many posts about that card
[04:52] <JoseeAntonioR> And have you tried upgrading the system? Because I see you are using Lucid Lynx
[04:52] <gfarmer> yeah, I could try that
[04:53] <gfarmer> didn't want to have to back everything up, but might help
[04:55] <JoseeAntonioR> gfarmer You have another option
[04:56] <JoseeAntonioR> You can download the CDs for 10.10, 11.04 and 11.10, and upgrade in order
[04:56] <JoseeAntonioR> That way you won't lose your data
[04:57] <gfarmer> yeah, can you download and update incrementally as well?
[04:57] <gfarmer> I'll need to free up some HD space
[04:58] <JoseeAntonioR> Yes, you can.
[04:59] <JoseeAntonioR> I suggest  you download the torrents, that way you get a error-free iso
[04:59] <gfarmer> good idea
[05:01] <gfarmer> thanks again for the help
[05:01] <urlin2u> JoseeAntonioR, is it the alternative cd used for in place updates saving the data?
[05:02] <urlin2u> never used it was just wondering.
[05:03] <JoseeAntonioR> urlin2u No, it is a text-based installer. To update without losing your data you can use the normal CD, and select to just upgrade the distro
[05:03] <urlin2u> JoseeAntonioR, cool I din't know this was possible, I will have to do one, thanks. :D
[05:03] <urlin2u> didn't*
[05:03] <JoseeAntonioR> urnlin2u No prob :)
[05:07] <gfarmer> quit
[06:49] <r4y> Is there a gui for looking at deleted files where I can see the files if they are still there?, I am not trying to recover any files. I have been wondering this because I have read about different programs on Google for doing so from the terminal.
[06:49] <r4y> Don't get me wrong I like the terminal.
[06:50] <bioterror> we got you wrong
[06:50] <bioterror> move files to trashbin first :D
[06:50] <r4y> :) he he
[06:51] <r4y> OK, then what about having a list of deleted files then in the terminal?
[06:51] <r4y> Instead of searching, that is what I am asking
[06:52] <r4y> I haven't invested time into trying out the different programs for recovery yet.
[06:52] <Unit193> List of files you deleted from the terminal? You could look at .bash_history I suppose
[06:53] <bioterror> Unit193, it's full of rm -rf *
[06:53] <bioterror> :D
[06:53] <bioterror> "oh, I deleted all the files"
[06:53] <bioterror> !gddrescue
[06:53] <ubot2`> Factoid 'gddrescue' not found
[06:54] <Unit193> bioterror: sudo undo  ;)
[06:54] <Unit193> !undelete
[06:54] <ubot2`> Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel
[06:56] <r4y> This hard drive under Disk Utility is Ext4
[06:57] <r4y> I wonder what kind of hard drive my uncle gave me a few years ago.
[06:58] <r4y> Will the last 2 links work for Ext4 hard drives?, Or just Ext3 hard drives?
[06:59] <r4y> So I can grep for files then?
[07:00] <r4y> It's been a while since I read about it
[07:03] <r4y> If I made a file right now then deleted how can I recover it?
[07:03] <r4y> Using the terminal that is
[07:03] <Unit193> Look at the links from ubot2` and read up on testdisk
[07:06] <r4y> Does it need to be done from a live CD?
[07:06] <r4y> Or only for a hard drive crash?
[07:08] <r4y> I going to have to bookmark the links the bot posted
[07:13] <r4y> Is there a grep for ext4 like ext3 has which is shown as ext3grep?
[07:14] <r4y> I just found this link:

[07:18] <saji89> Hi guys.
[07:18] <saji89> I have been trying to set up a name based virtual host in pache on ubuntu 11.10, to a folder /var/www/test. But it keeps on pointing to /var/www only. Any idea how to solve it?
[07:20] <Unit193> As I don't use apache, all I can say is I'm sure they have a channel, there is also #ubuntu-server, and this doc should help you too https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/serverguide/C/httpd.html (Otherwise, there may be someone here that can help)
[07:21] <saji89> Unit193: I have already been to #ubuntu-server
[07:22] <Unit193> Mind if I ask how long you waited for an answer? It's night in parts of the US now (02:22 for me)
[07:25] <saji89> Unit193: No problem. I had been discussing there and as a matter of fact doing now too. Headed out here to know if someone does know of it.
[07:27] <Unit193> Of it, yeppers, used to use it a long time ago. I now use Cherokee and lighttpd (on different computers). But anyway, I'm not the one you are seeking
[07:29] <saji89> Unit193: No problem man.
[07:33] <Snicksie> saji89, have you been working with the virtual hosts in sites-enabled or sites-available?
[07:34] <Snicksie> isnt this what you're looking for saji89 : http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/core.html#virtualhost ?
[07:34] <saji89> Snicksie: I have been working in sites-available and using a2ensite.
[07:34] <Snicksie> okay
[07:34] <saji89> Snicksie: I have followed that. But things doesn;t seem working as needed.
[07:35] <Snicksie> so you have a particular servername set up which should point to your site?
[07:37] <saji89> Snicksie: Yes.
[07:39] <Snicksie> hm, dont know then... I've only seen others doing the setup, never did it myself :p
[07:40] <saji89> Snicksie: Ok. thanks.
[07:41] <saji89> Snicksie: By the way I had posted a detailed question in Askubuntu about this-http://askubuntu.com/questions/101030/apche-virtualhost-keeps-pointing-to-default-directory
[09:18] <s-fox> Hello.

[16:01] <LemonAid> Hello. How can i set the refresh rate for each monitor separately on 11.10?
[16:04] <holstein> LemonAid: you can put an xorg.conf in place
[16:06] <LemonAid> holstein, i`ll try and see how it turns out :)
[17:37] <LemonAid> So i got around the whole xorg.conf by using xrandr. But now i want to adjust the brightness of my monitor. Any tips?
[17:44] <holstein> LemonAid: i would look on the actual hardware.. other than that, you might just not have a way to do it...
[17:47] <LemonAid> holstein, that`s a bummer, because my other monitor is a bit dark with it`s brightness set to 100%.
[17:48] <holstein> well, i assume they are different types... thats probably to be expected to some degree
[17:51] <LemonAid> Yes, that is true. However i wanted something similar to the windows options. And i just found it, but it does not seem to work for some reason. Under CompizConfig Settings Manager > Opacity, Brightness and Saturation.
[17:51] <LemonAid> It may be that i don`t know how to 'apply' the settings though.
[17:53] <holstein> maybe you are not running compiz, or dont have the 3d drivers
[18:08] <LemonAid> compiz is running, but i have no idea what the 3d drivers are. Bottom line is that nothing seems to work in compiz, but compiz itself is working.
[18:11] <LemonAid> Some more digging. May have found something. Will be back, if nothing, just to vent. Even the plant in my room is tired of me.
[18:24] <LemonAid> Right, so what i tried didn`t work. But i found a post that said compiz does not work with unity. Is that true?
[18:28] <LemonAid> I mean, it is running, but no setting seem to register.
[23:15] <bodhizazen> cprofitt: you gotta check out the liatest spin =)
[23:15] <bodhizazen> http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=11661993&postcount=5051
[23:28] <cprofitt> bodhizazen: looking now
[23:29] <bodhizazen> Screen shots: http://blog.bodhizazen.net/linux/ubuntu-gma500-live-cd/
[23:30] <cprofitt> bodhizazen: which Intel chipset uses the gma500?
[23:31] <bodhizazen> yes, gma500
[23:31] <bodhizazen> The spin will work on any hardware ubuntu runs on though
[23:31] <cprofitt> what processors or chipset?
[23:31] <bodhizazen> It is a nice, stable build if you want to demo 12.04 to someone
[23:32] <bodhizazen> x86
[23:32] <cprofitt> ah... the Atom processor lineup
[23:33] <bodhizazen> My gentoo install is decked out on that netbook
