[00:01] StepNjump, looks like you had a corrupted install to begin with... [00:01] skwird, given that it works with Win7 -- I agree. I've gone back to Ubuntu 10.04 and the problem is still there. [00:01] skwird, Just trying to figure out what I've missed :) [00:02] I downloaded the app from the Brother site [00:02] AMS-ITGuy: I'm still having the problem that caused me to try reinstalling. I can't access my shares from my damn windows 7 laptop [00:02] I just get password incorrect. Any idea? [00:02] i want to uninstall my gui but after installing ubuntu-desktop and unity there is still a gui. what else do i need to uninstall/disable? [00:02] Is there a way to desinstall a bad install? [00:03] uninstall I mean skwird [00:03] antnash, that doesn't mean a samba issue.... what is the problem when you try to access them? [00:04] windows just says that the password is wrong [00:05] bergelmir, Trying to completely rid the Unity GUI? [00:05] aBound: yep [00:05] Just a terminal I presume. [00:05] only cli [00:05] StepNjump, can you paste the output of cat /var/lib/dpkg/status | grep thatpackage'sname [00:06] bergelmir, wouldn't it be easier to change the runlevel of the login app? === gskellig is now known as Gskellig [00:06] hi, I'm using ubuntu 11.04 on my laptop toshiba satellite L655, the DVD doesn't read DVDs, it oly reads CDs, how to solve this?? [00:07] waheed, DVD data discs or movies? [00:07] data [00:07] StepNjump, try: sudo apt-get remove --purge packagenamegoeshere [00:07] waheed, never heard of that before..... you sure it's a DVD drive? lol [00:07] skwird: ok thanks I will try that... please also see: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/832056/ [00:07] AMS-ITGuy: how to change the runlevel? [00:07] bergelmir, I'd say you can use this simple tutorial but figures you'd have to bypass the gnome classic instructions: http://linux-software-news-tutorials.blogspot.com/2011/10/ubuntu-1110-oneiric-remove-unity-and.html [00:08] StepNjump, then do: dpkg -L packagename [00:08] bergelmir, Or try using this site: http://askubuntu.com/questions/6302/how-can-you-remove-unity [00:08] iceroot: I installed phpmyadmin but now how can I start using it? [00:08] I installed phpmyadmin but now how can I start using it? [00:08] AMS-ITGuy : yes sure [00:09] skwird: yep same thing The package brhl2170wlpr needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it. [00:09] whats 11.10 like? [00:09] sk ok I will try the -L [00:09] bergelmir, I think It's controlled in /etc/init/gdm.conf - you'd have to check the help pages, but I think changing that to a level of 2 disables the login and gives text only [00:09] SmashingX: http://wiki.phpmyadmin.net/pma/Welcome_to_phpMyAdmin_Wiki [00:09] waheed, sorry no idea here [00:10] DevilSolution, Define like. As in what the behavior of Ubuntu, the gui, the programs etc.... [00:10] skwird: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/832057/ [00:10] DevilSolution, kinda like 11.04 and not quite like 12.04 lol [00:10] StepNjump, take a look at this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1608698 The package is clearly corrupted and needs a good cleaning out before you try and reinstall it. Take a look at #6, [00:11] skwird: I can't even get in synaptic [00:11] oh ok.. thanks. skwird [00:11] cfhowlett: how can I start it? [00:11] say how can I solve this IRC issue when trying to join #android? Cannot join channel (+r) - you need to be identified with services [00:11] is it better in your guys opinions? what do i loose what do i gain? in summery :P [00:13] SmashingX: i'm not a php guy - see #phpmyadmin [00:13] AMS-ITGuy : it doesn't read neither CDs, nor DVDs [00:13] skwird: wow that seems to be risky! [00:13] hi, I'm using ubuntu 11.04 on my laptop toshiba satellite L655, the DVD doesn't read DVDs, or CDs, how to solve this?? [00:13] skwird: the printer is working like a charm... It's weird that the package confuses the system like that [00:14] !usb|waheed [00:14] waheed: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [00:14] StepNjump, that is strange [00:14] Well, thank you very much for all your help skwird [00:14] waheed, can you boot off of a CD? [00:14] I suspect ubuntu has some inbuilt support for the printer not dependent on that commercial driver. StepNjump [00:14] DevilSolution, It works fine on my machine except a few minor issues like Compiz being unstable and sometimes my GUI gets stuck in a loop. But the newer packages are nice and adds a new kernel. [00:15] You are welcome StepNjump, sorry we couldn't figure it out exactly... Good Luck! [00:15] I am out. [00:15] Good luck to you as well AMS-ITGuy [00:15] cheers [00:18] Room died. :P [00:18] aBound, sorry, busy lol :) [00:18] HI [00:18] ha [00:19] ztag100, hi [00:19] aBound: WHATSUP! [00:19] I love VNC for spying on users :D [00:19] Ubuntu is up in the sky. :P === ztag100 is now known as _100 [00:22] aBound, AMS-ITGuy: /etc/default/grub --> GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="text" :-) [00:24] bergelmir, awesome, learnt something new! :) [00:24] :P [00:24] hi [00:24] hi guys, i was having trouble booting up my ubuntu, kept getting mount: mounting /dev on /root/dev failed:, i booted using live cd, but i still cant mount the / partition, its on /dev/sda1?? [00:25] if i'll follow those steps http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/01/how-to-install-unity-5-0-in-ubuntu-11-10/ will i get the newest (atm 5.2) unity on my 11.10? [00:25] szymon_g, unity 5.2 can't be installed on 11.10 only on 12.04a2 [00:26] even after adding unity-team:stagging PPA? shame :/ [00:26] szymon_g, https://launchpad.net/~unity-team/+archive/staging says no [00:26] i tried running fsck /dev/sda1, but i get device or resource busy [00:27] ah, ok, thanx AMS-ITGuy and Oer :) [00:28] quick question, im installing 11.10 however if something goes wrong how do i reverse the changes? given that its deleting and unpacking packages now so its probably too late to backup the system [00:28] DevilSolution, are you installing it onto the whole drive? [00:29] I have a non-bootable 11.10 system. Shortly into the boot process the monitor displays "Sync. Out of Range" and the boot process stops. Ctrl-Alt-Del reboots the system, so it's not far into the boot sequence. Also, the computer powers down immediately when I press the power button (no 5-second wait). [00:29] lion42, yup [00:29] ubuntu has the whole drive [00:30] stercor, try pressing alt-ctrl-f1 when the sync message appears to get a text shell menu..... sounds like an improperly configured video driver to me [00:31] On 11.10 with win7 in virtualbox, how do I get networking set up for win7? [00:31] AMS-ITGuy: That's what I suspect also. But it doesn't have any of the Ctrl-Alt-Fn shells up yet. [00:31] HI guys a simple question, If I want to make sure tar cvf wil pickup all the hidden files aslo, what should my tar command be ? tar cvf mybackup.tar ./foo/* ? [00:32] stercor: your monitor settings are too high [00:32] DevilSolution, then you've passed the point of no return. Your files are gone, short of attempting to recover them using special software meant to extract lost data. And even then, you'll be lucky to get it back. [00:32] I can't get to a root prompt. [00:33] so theres no system restore type thing? [00:33] stercor: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUXV0um_z3E [00:33] DevilSolution, to get back what was on the drive before you installed ubuntu? No, absolutely not. [00:34] stercor, still sounds like a video drivers.... frequency is too high.... has it ever worked? [00:34] no to restore core factors of the system or raw components? === raj` is now known as raj [00:34] DevilSolution, how do you mean? Like what? [00:35] DevilSolution, no system restore.... what went wrong? [00:37] nothing yet, just curious, im just getting the system and programs how i want them, didnt really wanan take the risk but its too alte now [00:37] AMS-ITGuy: I hobbled up by putting in a CD/DVD into the drive. The out of sync message went away in 30 seconds to a minute and a half. It doesn't do that now. [00:38] lion42, i guess im asking if ubuntu maps its core components in a backup, not all my files but the kernel or such [00:38] Oh...the patch was prior to moving the computer. :) [00:38] If I could get to the video configuration files, I could propbably set the monitor parameters to work... [00:39] DevilSolution, get another HDD and use the DD command to back up an image [00:40] alright cheers [00:40] The BIG problem is that I don't know how to get past the disk partitioning section without formatting the partition. The screen says that it doesn't reformat if there's a 'K' in the ptn table. I just don't know how to set it. [00:41] I've tried a bunch of stuff already. [00:41] ello, i have a any problem with update install for the hedgewars games, Ubuntu ??? help please [00:41] i speak french sorry :S [00:41] DevilSolution, sorry, I don't know what you're trying to accomplish, so I don't know what to recommend. [00:42] me ??? [00:42] the Ubuntu Qc , link, please ??? [00:42] skrillex, no, not you - you may want to try the ubuntu-fr or qc channel, they speak your native languarge [00:43] Hmmm...I'll (gasp!) use the LinuxMint boot disk to see if I can a) get its video drivers, and b) get to a root prompt. [00:43] does anyone have a link to a guide for installing postfix with mysql and dovecot on lucid? [00:43] thanks ! [00:43] stercor, so use Mint, if it does the job, excellent [00:43] AMS-ITGuy, im not trying to accomplish anything, im curious as to weather ubuntu has a built in back up incase the upgrade to 11.10 goes bad :P [00:44] DevilSolution, I would get another hdd and do a dd image to it before updates.... the non LTS releases are a bit freaky with updates to be honest [00:44] AMS-ITGuy: It removed a bunch of my files when I upgraded it. I'm using it as a last resort. [00:45] stercor, an Ubuntu update removed your files? [00:45] AMS-ITGuy, its updating live right now, i was just wondering incase in 10 minutes i disapear and dont come back maybe there would be a command to use :P [00:46] DevilSolution, after starting an update, it's a bit late to do a backup.... [00:46] AMS-ITGuy: Not Ubuntu. LinuxMint. Specifically, my ~/Music and ~/Video directories. I find this strange ... and suspicious. [00:46] That's the reason I went back to Ubuntu. [00:47] AMS-ITGuy, so no rollback options then? :P [00:47] stercor, you came to an Ubuntu IRC to ask about LinuxMint issues? [00:47] DevilSolution, *USE DD*. I use it all the time. Otherwise no rollback issues that I'm aware of. === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [00:48] okay thanks, ill get myself anotehr HD [00:48] DevilSolution, what we're saying is that you're out of luck. You have to manually backup what you want to preserve -before- doing an action which can cause things to go wrong. In the event of wanting to keep your whole drive and configuration, you need to clone it before making the dangerous modification. [00:48] Can anyone help me get 1 on 1 help? [00:48] well fingers crossed everything goes smoothly, only had 2 errors so far and both IDE related [00:49] does everyone use defective hardware? lol [00:49] jmonster1234, im a shrink, take a seat and talk to me [00:49] what's the issue jmonster? [00:49] jmonster1234: we like to keep things in the channels.. that way everyone can benefit [00:49] AMS-ITGuy, mines over 10 years old, runs fine though, updates just scare me === 64MAAOJ75 is now known as JoFo [00:50] DevilSolution, then use DD to make an image, it works great and stop worrying about updates, or use LTS [00:50] ok well i just downloaded ubuntu so bare with me. I cannot get the internet to work on my comp [00:50] AMS-ITGuy, my last lenovo laptop needed a motherboard replacement, wireless card replacement, ram replacement, monitor replacement, and various keyboard/hinge/screw/cover replacements all while in the warranty period. [00:50] They finally gave me another laptop to stop paying to repair my old one, but I trust a lenovo to work properly about as much as... no, I don't trust it. [00:50] lion42, my very awesome Thinkpad T410 doesn't have such issues [00:51] ill make an image after ive upgraded [00:51] The replacement they gave me is a thinkpad t420is [00:51] t420s are awesome, never had an issue with them [00:51] i've got 50 in my org [00:51] well.... 46 lol [00:52] Well, this one has certainly had a better track record than my old one... :P [00:52] what was the old one? [00:52] uhm [00:52] sl410 [00:52] LOL [00:52] cute :) [00:52] Yeah, piece of garbage, that was. They spent way more money repairing it for me than they did replacing it. [00:53] Hi, I just noticed that the new Ubuntu Global Jam has been announced [00:53] http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/global/1443/detail/ [00:53] Lenovo workstations, frankly, are awesome.... esp with Ubuntu [00:53] but both jorge castro and jono bacon seem to have been quite silent about it [00:53] AMS-ITGuy, we've gone offtopic. #ubuntu-offtopic ? [00:53] mmmm bacon [00:53] do you think that something's wrong with that? [00:53] no THATs off topic lol [00:54] anyone know anything about libvideo0 on 10.04 64bit , cant seem t o find the package [00:54] I mean: I also googled for some acknowledgment of the announcement: [00:54] https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=http%3A%2F%2Floco.ubuntu.com%2Fevents%2Fglobal%2F1443%2Fdetail%2F&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&aqi=g10&oq=#q=ubuntu+global+jam++site:lists.ubuntu.com&hl=en&safe=off&prmd=imvns&sa=X&ei=enEwT6PxBobh4QStwYCqBQ&ved=0CA8QpwUoBg&source=lnt&tbs=cdr:1%2Ccd_min%3A12%2F28%2F2011%2Ccd_max%3A&tbm=&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.,cf.osb&fp=9fdc9efd3e42c160&biw=1280&bih=714 [00:54] gee, orage, thanks for losing my time format and zone. [00:54] berdario: wtf [00:54] and it doesn't yield any result [00:54] rhizmoe, yeah, sorry about the humongous url [00:55] #new2irc [00:55] not quite, but I still do clumsy mistakes :P [00:55] btw, there's only one month left [00:55] rhizmoe, I've been here since the dawn of time and I still mindlessly do that from time to time. [00:55] berdario: I blame google [00:55] that's not a hashtag, it's a channel [00:56] there are only 4 or 5 teams registered [00:56] anyone know anything about libvideo0 on 10.04 64bit , cant seem t o find the package [00:56] sorry what does libvideo0 do? doesn't sound like a proper ppa or package [00:56] and these don't have many users... and on the mailing list archives of the teams there's no discussion about that [00:56] how can I request to register a nick that is registered, but has not been used in well over a year [00:56] Zeroedout, on irc? [00:57] it's a dependency for v4l4j [00:57] maybe I'm just freaking out... but to mee seems almost like the ugj (at least the early 2012 one) is dead [00:57] err zeroxnak on irc? [00:57] FUCK DA POLICE [00:57] oups [00:57] wrong chan [00:57] levitsky: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:57] O_o [00:57] amen [00:58] so, i've been trying since 3pm EST.... anyone have experience with Ubuntu as a client, PPTP VPNs and split tunnelling? lol [00:58] does anyone here care about the global jam... or do you simply think mine it's a case of "much ado about nothing"? [00:58] sorry, but WTF is global jam? [00:58] i like jam on toast [00:59] AMS-ITGuy, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGlobalJam [00:59] I think of it as one of the few occasions in which we can raise awareness about ubuntu, gather with other local nerds and contribute to the project, etc.etc. [01:00] I care about OSS - we can always raise awareness of Ubuntu.... what are you asking, specficially? [01:01] AMS-ITGuy, I was about to mail my local LUG to propose to cooperate on doing such an event [01:01] hey i am having a compile error and i dont understand what i am missing any ideas? here is the output of make [01:01] berdario: news to me, sounds good, but i'm having a cup of tea and a crack at getting this cam working in java, but bed as soon as tea is done [01:01] berdario, so do so [01:01] while researching for further info, to support my cause... I found out that basically... nobody seems to be active for the next global jam :/ [01:02] anyone own a ratel ultra from system 76? [01:02] berdario, so if they aren't, spread the word yourself.... you don't need a date to introduce others, do you? [01:02] nak, nope [01:03] AMS-ITGuy, actually... I do :P I don't have much self-confidence [01:03] btw, ok [01:03] but it's worrying nonetheless [01:03] or should i ask elsewhere [01:03] berdario, what is worrying? what does self confidence have to do with introducing others to OSS and Ubuntu? [01:03] http://pastebin.com/DxcYmkAj [01:04] one point berdario, it takes a bloody long time to get knowledge enough to help develop [01:04] FYI to all, the zsnes package for 64-bit Ubuntu still wants to eat ubuntu-desktop and other programs. [01:04] recon69_lap, I don't know if you hang around it somewhat often... but I think there's a problem if you didn't know about it... because it's a symptom there's not enough communication about it [01:04] Someone ought to recompile it for 64-bit. [01:04] s/around it/around here/ [01:04] berdario: I think there are lots of people working on ubuntu, they probably all hanging out in ubuntu+1 [01:05] AMS-ITGuy, I mean that it's worryng the lack of awareness for it [01:06] berdario, I've been using Linux since the early 90s.... Linux will find it's place.... users will find Linux - what is your concern that there is no awareness? I don't understand? [01:06] berdario: and i'm helping out now, trying to get my cam wotking in java [01:06] about the knowledge: I know... but the global jam is supposed to be organized by the most knowleadgeable individual in an area... and even if that's not possible... just working on translation or testing should be easy enough [01:07] yesyes, I'm not complaining... I'm just trying to get some feedback :) [01:07] berdario, feedback on what? so there is no global jam.... no one takes interest..... do you take interest? [01:07] Well I dont know about you but I think I will JAM into the kitchen and grab me a sammich [01:07] is it possible to bridge my ethernet with my wireless and tunnel it through an ssh session? [01:08] fellayaboy, why would you even want to do that? lol [01:08] many many reasons [01:08] fellayaboy, explain [01:08] AMS-ITGuy, I do... and I'm prodding others to gauge the interest... now I'll drop by ubuntu+1... and next I'll try some mails [01:08] i want to bridge my ethernet to my wireles..... than i want to tunnel it through a remote ssh at home [01:08] so that i can use that public ip [01:09] berdario: well, get organised in your area if you know anyone. get involved yourself. most work on linux is done because someone wants a feature that is not implemented, then they start working on that feature. [01:09] berdario, don't convert.... educate, use the tool for the job... this isn't a religion, it's an OS [01:09] (the feedback was simply on what do you think about it) [01:09] AMS-ITGuy, I never used the word "convert"... did I gave the impression of being somewhat zealotic? :) [01:09] does anyone have any ideas? [01:09] berdario: Look through history. Forced conversion just causes dissent and rebellion. [01:09] berdario: i'd suggest you dont go bothering people to much [01:09] berdario, i think I like linux and Ubuntu and it serves a place in my life.... i choose to help people with it.... if they choose to use Windows or Mac, that's their choice [01:10] I don't really see how this applies [01:10] One thing you COULD do berdario is to get it in more stores by working as a representitive of the system, and receiving a demo machine from an OEM. [01:10] berdario, these aren't the droids you're looking for... [01:10] I mean: I'm talking about me, you, the peeps on #ubuntu, jono bacon... my local lug... all people who already use linux [01:10] berdario, you feeling a lil beat up here mang? [01:10] berdario: anyone reading this knows about the jam, now let us get on with what we are doing [01:11] tiox, WTF are you talking about? [01:11] is this the ubuntu support chan?? [01:11] CyberDawg, care to rephrase in english? :) [01:11] Well, if He wants to help spread the word on Linux, have the consumers see it where consumers go. [01:11] But yes, it's not support discussion. Let's move on. [01:11] recon69_lap, good :) but until 5 minutes ago, it wasn't so... at least it seems we got some results :) [01:12] and now... I'm really going to #ubuntu+1 :) [01:12] berdario, y0 mang, UbuntuOR Linux isnt an English specific OS... js... [01:12] tiox, yes, he should contact top tier OEMs to install Ubuntu lol [01:12] SHOVELL, dunno, you just showed up [01:12] yes, let's get back to *support* please [01:12] ah, here come the "silent ones" lol [01:12] so support [01:12] hey i am having a compile error and i dont understand what i am missing any ideas? here is the output of make http://pastebin.com/DxcYmkAj [01:13] who wants to help me with my VPN problem I've been asking for help on for the last 5 hours? [01:13] shovell? jrib? [01:13] berdario: fine, but this is a support channel, you;ve used up a lot of typing, I'm happy you like ubuntu, but you dont have to worry that it's dieing , or that you can really huge support, we all do a little bit and it adds up [01:13] at least he offered some comments and communication? [01:13] berdario, that is [01:13] AMS-ITGuy: I think you missed my point./ [01:14] now , anyone know what happened libvideo0 ;-) [01:14] AMS-ITGuy, jrib is thatt a package? [01:14] * CyberDawg hands recon69_lap a Cuba Libre [01:14] I was telling him to get a laptop or desktop from an OEM, then as a representitive of Ubuntu and that OEM, demonstrate the system and pitch why that specific manufacturer's brand should be in stores. [01:14] SHOVELL, no he appears to be a user here... [01:14] SHOVELL, i tried sudo apt-get jrib but nothing happenened.... [01:15] AMS-ITGuy, what is youur vpn issue? [01:15] SHOVELL, let me explain! [01:15] I have an Ubuntu 10.04 LTS fully patched server on my network [01:15] !porn | levitsky [01:16] AMS-ITGuy: try to just summarize your question on a single line; it makes it easier to follow in a busy channel like this [01:16] ... [01:16] If I configure Windows to connect to it's public IP without "use default gateway on remote network" I can communicate with both the VPN network and the internet on my network [01:16] however, under Ubuntu (any version) as a client OS, I cannot.... how do I fix this? [01:16] There's a problem with empathy program (instant messager)... When I open my contact list, it's completely blank but still operatable. [01:16] dfcnvt sure i can help [01:16] jrib, lol yeah, busy channel [01:16] !porn | dfcnvt [01:17] levitsky, have you had this experience before? [01:17] levitsky: what are you doing? stop. [01:17] dfcnvt, sounds like you have no friends ;) [01:17] SHOVELL: even better to summarise you question and relevant info into a pastebin and link to it [01:17] lol [01:17] SHOVELL, so, any ideas? [01:17] I have a friend that text me through this empathy program but nothing on the window. [01:17] !unity | dfcnvt [01:17] dfcnvt: Unity is the default UI since Ubuntu 11.04. Unity is a shell for GNOME. see http://unity.ubuntu.com. For a GNOME 2-like experience, see !notunity [01:18] opps [01:18] dfcnvt, do you use unity? [01:19] jrib, any answer? [01:19] !as | AMS-ITGuy [01:19] !ask | AMS-ITGuy [01:19] AMS-ITGuy: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [01:19] LOL [01:19] Is there away I can create a shell script folder and put scripts in it and somehow reference the folder so I can execute the scripts. Without having to be in the directory? [01:19] should I talk to you lev or the bot? [01:20] !ubottu | AMS-ITGuy [01:20] AMS-ITGuy: Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi | Usage info: http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins | Bot channels and general info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots [01:20] !notunity [01:20] 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 !classic [01:20] anyone? [01:21] with respect to my VPN question? [01:21] no? [01:21] aBound: sure, use ~/bin (which will automatically be in your path on your next login after you create it [01:21] AMS-ITGuy: don't. do. that. [01:21] do what? [01:21] ask a question after you picked on another user? [01:21] jrib, I assume I add ~/bin to my $PATH variable? [01:21] !hi ichaleynbin [01:21] this is a "support" channel, right? [01:21] !hi | ichaleynbin [01:21] AMS-ITGuy: that a complicated question, supprised you have not created a pastebin that covers it in detail if you;ve been at it all day. [01:22] aBound: that will happen automatically (it's in the default ~/.profile) [01:22] wtf [01:22] The upgrade has aborted. Your system could be in an unusable state. A recovery will run now (dpkg --configure -a) [01:22] ermmm? [01:22] Just let it do the recovery. [01:22] recon, you wouldn't know a vpn if it slapped you in the face lol [01:22] AMS-ITGuy: yes, ask your question and wait patiently. No need to spam multiple lines with "anyone?" and other non-specific requests [01:22] Looks like ~/bin doesn't seem to be a directory and/or folder. [01:22] DevilSolution: run sudo dpkg --configure -a; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [01:23] If it borked your system, then install to the latest or preferred version. Make sure you save your stuff from home before you nuke the partition. [01:23] ok, shall I try again, can we discuss privately so my question can be posed properly? === JermBob is now known as jermbobtoothcoun [01:23] okie dokie [01:24] jrib, do you know anything about PPTP VPNs and split tunnelling? [01:24] AMS-ITGuy: If you want to try again, sure. But wait 5-10 minutes, then ask again so newer eyes can see your question. And please just ask it in a single line with relevant details on a pastebin [01:24] !warn | AMS-ITGuy [01:24] Hi all, whenever ubuntu boots in this system, the volume is muted.. any ideas how to fix it? Thanks. [Ubuntu 11.10 on Sony VAIO / Intel Corporation 82801H] [01:24] aBound: yes, you need to create it. Once you do, on your next login, it will be in your path [01:24] terminal wont start [01:24] levitsky: can you stop with the random factoids please? [01:24] dadummm [01:24] AMS-ITGuy: put you question in a pastebin with all the relevant info you know, then you can link to it here and more people can read it. if that's you question its way to vague [01:25] i don't need a pastebin, it's a very simple networking question [01:25] AMS-ITGuy: and i know little about vpn [01:25] jrib: insulting volunteers at work? sure thing, u deal with that [01:25] AMS-ITGuy, if its so simple why are you here asking for assistance? ;) [01:25] AMS-ITGuy: maybe ##networking will be more help [01:25] who, and why? === qo_op is now known as sKew^_- [01:26] CyberDawg, because there is a bug in Ubuntu with respect to VPN split tunnelling.... it works on Windows, are you saying Windows is better for a VPN environment? [01:26] who kicked me? [01:27] Hey guys, listen to this issue I'm having, never seen anything like it, just enabled two monitors in unity using the open-source radeon driver on cayman, everytime I log in a small horizontal pink stripe is added to the desktop background, I'm not sure if its adding it to the image itself or what, but no other artifacts appear === jermbobtoothcoun is now known as JermBob [01:27] levitsky: i did because of your poor attitude and also because of your random factoid fishing [01:27] Ahh, blah. [01:27] pangolin: Learning is okay. [01:27] AMS-ITGuy, Is that what you took from my comment?? I think you need one of my Cuba Libres brah!! [01:28] i got a question, can i remove the 200mb windows boot system? format it and expand it to C: ? [01:28] TEST [01:28] so is power tripping [01:28] UBOTTU: TEST [01:28] Testing... Testing... 1. 2.. 3... ( by the way, remember that you can use #test ) [01:28] and is it possible to get a nicer GUI in grubloader, etc pics of os's? [01:28] hy please i need help [01:28] levitsky: please learn about the bot in a private message: /msg ubottu whatever [01:28] CyberDawg, i think you need to be quiet unless you know what I'm talking about, which you clearly don't [01:28] precubcr: sure, just ask your question and we'll answer if we can [01:28] anybody knows any dic generator able to create dics with 20 mix alphanumeric ? [01:29] AMS-ITGuy, I think you need to put your self in checkk [01:29] sKew^_-: sKew^_- yes you can delete windows and resize your partition with the freed space [01:29] CyberDawg, I'll do that when you prove to me that you have the faintest understanding of what I'm talking about [01:29] cfhowlett, delete the windows boot partition? [01:29] ubottu: spam [01:29] sKew^_-: yes. [01:30] cfhowlett, kk nice, is it possible to get a bootscren for grub were i can chose betwine 2 imagages (pics) [01:30] OMG pangolin was an op?? are you serious? [01:31] jrib ? [01:31] precubcr: I do not know of such a program [01:32] sKew^_-: I'm the wrong one to ask HOW but I know you can change the boot screen pictures. CHOOSING pics at boot is not readily available and is probably a huge security risk [01:32] ok, in all seriousness.... how old are the ops on this channel, and what do you do for a living? [01:32] ths jrib. il keep searching [01:32] AMS-ITGuy: keep the discussion in this channel related to support please [01:32] AMS-ITGuy: please stay on topic. [01:32] pics are a security risk? [01:32] hmm, seem to have solved my libvideo0 issue by installing libvideo-capture-v4l-perl, got a new issue lol [01:33] cfhowlett, i wass thinking like this http://www.leilaharry.com/tech/images/01-iboot.jpg [01:33] sKew^_-: http://www.ghacks.net/2010/10/17/change-your-grub-splash-screen-in-ubuntu/ [01:33] jrib, pangolin still looking for VPN support here.... care to help? [01:33] AMS-ITGuy: I don't know if you remember my issue. how would i go about doing a back-up? i just have access to the grub command line and many commands seem to not be working [01:33] sKew^_-: Awesome, I so want to do that [01:33] AMS-ITGuy: I still have no clue what your issue even is. [01:34] AMS-ITGuy: I suggested you try asking in ##networking, they may be more help. [01:34] sKew^_-: ok, we're talking about different things, then. the image you shared is for a multi-boot system. [01:34] jrib, do you have a scroll bar? [01:34] cfhowlett, yes, i use grub as multiboot system for my dualboot :/ [01:34] pangolin, the issue is ubuntu related [01:34] camieman10, it looks nice yeah :) [01:35] tiago, do you have a live cd or live usb, boot from that and do your backup [01:35] So I'm locked out of Ubuntu, I forgot my password. I've tried all 3 methods on the website for resetting it and none work. [01:35] sKew^_-: I get a screen like the one you want and then it boots grub. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=212837&st=0#entry1427797 [01:35] AMS-ITGuy: There may not be anybody around in here able to help right now. try ##networking [01:35] I'm using Xubuntu. [01:35] skrewt: what is one method you tried specifically that did not work? [01:35] Booted into recovery and did a passwd username [01:35] Will installing apache.worker remove the apache prefork? I want to keep both. [01:35] recon69_lap: it doesn't seem to be load ing:/ but thanks I'll try to get a loadable live-cd [01:35]
