[00:00] <Pete-Umbra> thanks a lot, Ben64, it worked.
[00:00] <haux> Does anyone know how to remove all printer drivers from Ubuntu?
[00:00] <ericus> ActionParsnip: does not help :(
[00:00] <Pete-Umbra> ^_^
[00:00] <ericus> I have a linux gateway
[00:00] <ericus> Tried google's DNS
[00:00] <urlin2u> haux, printer will show you what is installed.
[00:00] <ericus> So finally I called my ISP
[00:00] <ActionParsnip> ericus: try setting the google dns in your system, not you linux gateway
[00:00] <cfhowlett> Steevca: http://lubuntu.net/  && http://xubuntu.org/
[00:00] <ericus> they told me that there is problems in my area
[00:00] <recon_lap> cfhowlett: i tried, the text was all messed up. anyway, i'm v happy with 10.04 lts , I 'll let the young guns bleed all over the new stuff
[00:01] <haux> urlin2u, aren't there preinstalled drivers to support a variety of printers?
[00:01] <ericus> ActionParsnip: I've already done that
[00:01] <cfhowlett> recon_lap: right.  see you in 12.04 then.
[00:01] <ericus> Thanks anyway
[00:01] <urlin2u> haux, only a list to choose from, not the drivers themselves I believe
[00:01] <Steevca> cfhowlett Thanks.
[00:01] <ericus> They told me they'd send me a text when it's fixed
[00:01] <Aethelrick> recon_lap: only way to go for servers
[00:01] <cfhowlett> Steevca: no problem
[00:01] <qo_op> telnetter, good luck :)
[00:02] <recon_lap> cfhowlett: thats 13.04, got another year of relaxing
[00:02] <ActionParsnip> ericus: so why are you in here if no amount of config will help?
[00:02] <Steevca> cfhowlett Can i also try an older version of ubuntu?
[00:02] <ericus> ActionParsnip: some sites works, but SLOW
[00:02] <ericus> and some does not, at all
[00:02] <urlin2u> haux, if you had a printer plugged in on install you might but printer will tell what is installed. Are you trying to clear HD space?
[00:02] <cfhowlett> !eol|steevca
[00:02] <ericus> And as said, it's not a DNS problem
[00:02] <rick__> [nick/*/nick!user@host]  can some one show me example how that should be filled out for chanserv
[00:03] <Mr> Does Wine come with Ubuntu?
[00:03] <cfhowlett> Steevca: stick with Long Term Support releases most recent is 10.04
[00:03] <ericus> I've called my ISP, as I've said
[00:03] <recon_lap> your talking to the guy who did 3 years c++ graphics programming in gedit for fun because i dont like ide's
[00:03] <ActionParsnip> ericus: its not an ubuntu issue though..
[00:03] <Steevca> cfhowlett Ok,thanks again.
[00:03] <rick__> some people bring a lot of wine
[00:03] <chris__> hi can anyone please tell me how to install jre? my path is old
[00:03] <rick__> always wineing lol
[00:03] <urlin2u> mr, no and your nic does not complete itis to short
[00:04] <chris__> im new
[00:04] <haux> urlin2u, yes, I figure if there's a large database of printer drivers preinstalled, there's no need to keep them. I was able to add a network printer without Ubuntu downloading anything (as far as I could tell). So this makes me think that it comes with a lot of drivers by default
[00:04] <Mr> why is it to short?
[00:04] <ericus> no ActionParsnip, haha, sorry, I thought I was in the #ubuntu-offtopic channel. My bad, I'm drunk :D
[00:04] <urlin2u> Mr, ah if I capitalize the M it completes with the tab otherwise no so no biggie.
[00:05] <chris__> can anyone please help out in installing java re?
[00:05] <urlin2u> haux, not sure really, butg if your HD is so full your clearing stuff that is niot a good thing.
[00:05] <urlin2u> but*
[00:06] <Mr> how do i change my name?
[00:06] <haux> It's not. my ubuntu install is under 5gb
[00:06] <Mr> nic name?
[00:06] <haux> excluding /home
[00:06] <cfhowlett> Mr  /nick
[00:06] <ryan1> does anyone know the terminal command to read a a file as if it has been parsed?
[00:06] <Mr> mr /nick
[00:06] <urlin2u> haux, a wubi?
[00:06] <haux> wubi?
[00:06] <Mr> ?
[00:06] <urlin2u> haux, installed from windows.
[00:06] <haux> Oh, no.
[00:07] <haux> xubuntu
[00:07] <brontosaurusrex>  /nick mynewlongernick
[00:07] <rick__> why cant i highlight text with my cursor?????? im on ubuntu 11.10
[00:07] <chris__> does anyone know the sudo apt-get for jre?
[00:07] <MrMr> haha there!
[00:07] <urlin2u> haux, rather small though al lit would take to lock it up is a logfile filling it up
[00:07] <Vag-Stain> BOOM
[00:08] <Vag-Stain> n
[00:08] <haux> urlin2u, lock what up?
[00:08] <urlin2u> haux the OS
[00:08] <recon_lap> chris__: i think there is a jvm6 installed by default
[00:08] <Vag-Stain> what is the best torrent client?
[00:09] <cfhowlett> !best|vag-stain
[00:09] <Vag-Stain> jd
[00:09] <chris__> recon_lap, ok ty what i need to know now is how to install from a tar.gz?
[00:09] <Vag-Stain> wow look at all these rules
[00:10] <haux> urlin2u, well I mean, my install is ~5gb large. The partition is 30gb on a ssd.
[00:10] <brontosaurusrex> Vag-Stain: nothing wrong with transmission (should be installed)
[00:10] <willfrand> hi
[00:10] <willfrand> i need your help
[00:10] <urlin2u> haux, ah I see, cool.
[00:10] <recon_lap> chris__: have you tried untaring it and reading the readme ?
[00:10] <urlin2u> !help | willfrand
[00:10] <chris__> recon_lap, not yet do you advice??
[00:11] <maujhsn> urlinu2  Trying to copy a newly downloaded folder to a new folder location what are the commands to do this?
[00:11] <Vag-Stain> i;'ve never herd of transmission
[00:11] <recon_lap> chris__ ; facepalm, you could untar it and read the readme
[00:12] <chris__> will do
[00:12] <JosephHarrietha> Hello, Please take a look at this information: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=fb0aa063d86d1aeae48c9cbadca3a85627173af8
[00:12] <urlin2u> maujhsn, you can drag and drop or copy and paste.
[00:12] <urlin2u> if the destination is not in files
[00:12] <JosephHarrietha> I am having trouble with my headset. When speaking I sound slow and demonic. I have no idea why its slowing my voice /lowering the pitch
[00:12] <maujhsn> Urlin2u Happy New Year!
[00:13] <urlin2u> maujhsn, lol a bit late. :)
[00:13] <JosephHarrietha> All information required is in the link I have sent, repeated here: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=fb0aa063d86d1aeae48c9cbadca3a85627173af8
[00:13] <cfhowlett> Vag-Stain: http://bit.ly/zwfO9X
[00:14] <willfrand> i've a .avi video, but this video was corrupted, i believe that was a virus, i need recuperate this video, i has to use the divfix, and the mobile media converter, but no resolve my problem. Im from colombia
[00:14] <JosephHarrietha> !google | cfhowlett,
[00:14] <urlin2u> willfrand, virus in linux or windows?
[00:14] <maujhsn> urlin2u I get an error message when I try the drag and drop method!
[00:14] <ActionParsnip> willfrand: vlc may be able to fix it
[00:15] <Vag-Stain> cfhowlett: thanks
[00:15] <urlin2u> maujhsn, so where is the file and where is the destination?
[00:15] <urlin2u> and what is the file?
[00:15] <brontosaurusrex> maujhsn: what error?
[00:15] <Vag-Stain> how to i run transmission?
[00:15] <butch256> Hi - I just did a fresh 11.04 install, and now I'm getting "error: no video mode activated" from grub on boot.  Is this common?
[00:16] <JosephHarrietha> willfrand, It was NOT a virus. I promise you that. Security companies have been conditioning windows loser for years to belive that antivirus is all that stops hell itself from invading their system. Unfortnatly, the truth is quite the opposite. There are no active viri that affect video files in the way you described.
[00:16] <urlin2u> Vag-Stain, start iot from the menu.
[00:16] <urlin2u> it
[00:17] <brontosaurusrex> Vag-Stain: i image you need to click on the right icon/menu or whatever is gnome using this days
[00:17] <JosephHarrietha> willfrand, It is far more likely that the file was corrupted via a device being unplugged while copying, severe fragmentation or a bad sector remap gone wrong.
[00:17] <andrew9183> how come free the fish doesnt work in ubuntu ? :(
[00:17] <chris__> recon_lap, cant find any details as to what todo in the read me im trying to install eclipse?
[00:17] <Vag-Stain> how do i run it from the terminal
[00:17] <Vag-Stain> ?
[00:17] <willfrand> yes joseph, probably, but then, how can to make to recuperate this video?
[00:18] <urlin2u> willfrand, are you sure you may not just be missing codecs?
[00:18] <maujhsn> urlin2u, brontosaurusrex  Error message permission denied! going from /home/dowloads/(file) to /usr/share/gimp.
[00:18] <butch256> It says to edit /etc/... but my grub drive only has "/boot"
[00:18] <Vag-Stain> got it thanks'
[00:18] <recon_lap> chris__: what file did you download, and does it contain a file that ends with .deb
[00:19] <urlin2u> maujhsn, what is the download, did y9ou check the repos?
[00:19] <chris__> recon just looking,
[00:19] <urlin2u> you
[00:19] <willfrand> yes urlin2u, i sure that isn't the codecs
[00:19] <JosephHarrietha> willfrand, It will all depend on how much damage has been done. A missing byte or two, vlc will do that. Alot missing? won't work. Make sure you have the proper codec installed and try VLC.
[00:19] <urlin2u> willfrand, avi is just video container could be a number of formats I believe.
[00:19] <willfrand> i'm sure that the problem isn't codecs
[00:19] <JosephHarrietha> willfrand, you could *in theory* overwrite the bad sectors with black a , besides a few black frames, your file would appear fine.
[00:20] <chris__> /home/chris/Downloads/eclipse-java-indigo-SR1-linux-gtk.tar.gz no deb
[00:20] <chris__> here recon_lap
[00:20] <JosephHarrietha> chris__ Question, why is someone who can't even install the IDE attempting to learn to program?
[00:20] <recon_lap> chris__: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EclipseIDE , i followed these instructions when i installed
[00:21] <maujhsn> urlin2u  gimp-gap-2.6.0-tar.bz2
[00:21] <chris__> recon how long ago?
[00:21] <Vag-Stain>  time for me to restart be back if everything goes ok
[00:21] <JosephHarrietha> I am having trouble with my headset. When speaking I sound slow and demonic. I have no idea why its slowing my voice /lowering the pitch
[00:21] <JosephHarrietha> All information required is in the link I have sent, repeated here: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=fb0aa063d86d1aeae48c9cbadca3a85627173af8
[00:21] <willfrand> Joseph, i suppose that this solution was possible with the divfix program, but when i execute divfix, it tell me that this file isn't a .avi file
[00:21] <recon_lap> JosephHarrietha: everyone has to start somewhere
[00:22] <urlin2u> maujhsn, thatb is in my synaptic in 11.10.
[00:22] <JosephHarrietha> willfrand, what command did you use? (If it is a console program, I've never heard of it)
[00:22] <willfrand> divfix
[00:22] <cfhowlett> willfrand: see ffmpeg
[00:22] <JosephHarrietha> recon_lap, Start with bash, or maybe ya know... learning the logistics of how to actually use a computer .... such as standalone programs.
[00:22] <brontosaurusrex> willfrand: maybe install mediainfo (it is not in repos, google it), then type : mediainfo my.avi and see what it says, after that you may be able to pick a proper tool for repair
[00:23] <maujhsn> urlin2u "The file downloads to the default download folder & I want to extract & compile it in GIMP!
[00:23] <recon_lap> JosephHarrietha: best to start with what you are interested in, the rest will follow quickly :)
[00:23] <JosephHarrietha> recon_lap, Surely, someone who does not have the problem solving skills to figure out a simple archive, will not be very successful in programming.
[00:23] <cfhowlett> willfrand: ffmpeg -i yourvideo.avi will tell just about everything you'd want to know.
[00:23] <urlin2u> maujhsn, out of my pay rate. :)
[00:24] <willfrand> i'm going to ok brontosaurusrex, im going to try
[00:24] <JosephHarrietha> recon_lap, Best to start with the basics. I was interested in Physics, I did not jump right into atomic energies.
[00:24] <chris__> recon_lap, thanks i found the repos which somehow eluded me
[00:24] <maujhsn> urlin2u "At least your honest".
[00:24] <brontosaurusrex> willfrand: or what cfhowlett said, ffmpeg should be in repos
[00:24] <urlin2u> JosephHarrietha, no quantum theory at the start eh. :)
[00:24] <maujhsn> Any takers?
[00:24] <willfrand> ok cfhowlett, i'm going to try, thanks
[00:25] <urlin2u> maujhsn, on a good day. :)
[00:25] <JosephHarrietha> willfrand, is that it.... ? You didn't specific a file.
[00:25] <PaulEycks> What is the name of the document scanning program in Ubuntu 11.10?
[00:25] <chris__> recon_lap,  i mean package
[00:25] <maujhsn> urlin2u We all have ups & downs...no problem! :)
[00:25] <urlin2u> PaulEycks, simple scan
[00:26] <JosephHarrietha> urlin2u, Sadly no. I am quite versed in the mechanics of quantum energies now, but a few years ago, I was still doing Dx and Dy :P
[00:26] <poop4u> :O
[00:26] <JosephHarrietha> PaulEycks, simple scan
[00:27] <urlin2u> JoeSomebody, hmm the nobel laureate I saw speak a while back said if we understood it we were doing better then him.
[00:27] <PaulEycks> Thank you, I have an answer, simplescan.
[00:27] <JosephHarrietha> PaulEycks, If you search "Scan" in the dashboard (Press the Win Key) you'll find it :P
[00:27] <blazento> hey is it possible to de-allocate space from my ubuntu partition after i've made it?
[00:27] <JosephHarrietha> blazento, Yes, but not while its running haha. Make a gparted live CD.
[00:27] <Wargasm> PaulEycks: if you want pdf output file you can use gscan2pdf
[00:28] <recon_lap> JosephHarrietha: it just a matter of empowering the person to do what they want, I'm just giving simple pointers and chris is learning for himself. everyone starts out knowing nothing
[00:28] <urlin2u> JosephHarrietha, the whole field of hypothesis thoug hI guess
[00:28] <brontosaurusrex> simple scan can output pdf as well
[00:28] <Wargasm> mine doesn't seem to want to
[00:28] <Wargasm> thats why I got the other one
[00:28] <brontosaurusrex> oh :)
[00:28] <JosephHarrietha> blazento, http://sourceforge.net/projects/gparted/files/gparted-live-stable/0.11.0-10/gparted-live-0.11.0-10.iso/download
[00:28] <JosephHarrietha> blazento, Burn er to a disc, pop em in, and away you go :P
[00:29] <JosephHarrietha> recon_lap, And in a week, he will be frustrated. still know nothing, and think its all too hard. Start him off easy, and let him grow.
[00:29] <ActionParsnip> JosephHarrietha: the ubuntu install CD has gparted on it, so why need an extra CD>
[00:30] <JosephHarrietha> recon_lap, But of course, your way works as well. Nothing is more empowering than self defeat.
[00:30] <JosephHarrietha> ActionParsnip, Because the ubuntu cd takes 2 minutes to boot and I'm an impatient geek.
[00:31] <||||||||||||||||> JosephHarrietha, USB boot?
[00:31] <lahwran> how would I detect a key being pressed, no matter what application is focused?
[00:31] <JosephHarrietha> JosephHarrietha, For gparted? Yup. You can use pendrivelinux from windows, and the usb creator from linux.
[00:31] <butch256> Grub2 help, ubuntu 11.04 alternate install (raid/crypt/lvm)... video error... anyone?
[00:32] <JosephHarrietha> butch256, Oh, I have the same thing. Truecrypt bootloader, esc to boot, right?
[00:32] <recon_lap> JosephHarrietha: your presupposing that he'll fail and give up. and i cant think of a better start to learing programming than installing an java ide , i would think he would read a programming book next
[00:32] <butch256> JosephHarrietha: "error: no video mode activated" on boot after fresh install
[00:32] <lahwran> recon_lap: java? python is already installed on ubuntu
[00:33] <JosephHarrietha> recon_lap, Java for a newbie? Meh. Better than BASIC I guess. But considering his previously demonstrated problem solving skills, I am sure my prediction is correct.
[00:33] <butch256> JosephHarrietha:  I can successfully start the raid arrays and access the entire install within my live cd - but... no luck fixing so far...
[00:34] <JosephHarrietha> butch256, I see, so its not a truecrypt bug. I've been ignoring it for a while.... maybe I'll get working on it. Since I have another case we can eliminate the possibilities.
[00:34] <urlin2u> JosephHarrietha, super faulty cause and effect bro.
[00:34] <JosephHarrietha> butch256, Does it prevent your system from booting?
[00:34] <butch256> JosephHarrietha: No, i can hit escape and type in my pass etc... its just *really* annoying
[00:34] <JosephHarrietha> butch256, Okay, so your in the same boat as me haha.
[00:35] <butch256> JosephHarrietha: seems so, if i ever figure it out i'll make a blog post, heh
[00:35] <JosephHarrietha> butch256, Alright, can you put your /etc/default/grub file on pastebin? (I don't have a copy of default) and your /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[00:36] <ActionParsnip> JosephHarrietha: usb will boot faster than any CD, why not advise they use a USB stick or maybe even buy one just for your impatience. Think about it
[00:37] <recon_lap> getting snippy tonight, long island ice tea's all round
[00:37] <JosephHarrietha> ActionParsnip, I use a 8GB USB with about 6 distros, 13 system tools, 2 AV's and some other randoms made using YUMI. But as for them, I guess I would have been better off saying the gparted in the live cd :P I just don't like it personally.
[00:37] <butch256> JosephHarrietha: it's the default, no worried, i'm going to finish the rest of my install now (current on laptop, desktop doesnt have net access yet)
[00:38] <ActionParsnip> JosephHarrietha: the user already has the tool you need, just strange to advise to download what they already have
[00:38] <JosephHarrietha> butch256, Alright, can you put them up anyway? (I don't have a copy of the defaults since my system is far from default). I'll compare them and eliminate more possiblities.
[00:38] <ActionParsnip> JosephHarrietha: I have a PXE boot with all that stuff, no need for USB
[00:38] <JosephHarrietha> ActionParsnip, Personal preference makes my advice to others different then what most would consider the "simplest route"
[00:39] <JosephHarrietha> ActionParsnip, I've never seen a need for that. Clutters up the bootloader. I have truecrypt chainload grub2 ( hidden since I only has one entry).
[00:40] <JosephHarrietha> ActionParsnip, I used to have a quint boot, but Arch was too time consuming, Hackintosh was too buggy and Jolicloud was pretty much useless.
[00:41] <JosephHarrietha> butch256, once your install is done of course.
[00:41] <ActionParsnip> JosephHarrietha: try xpud, fastest boot I ever saw
[00:41] <syn-ack> Good evening.
[00:42] <JosephHarrietha> ActionParsnip, I'm going to stick with what I have. Its a stable system, and due to the encryption on both my Ubuntu LTS and Windows 7 (Never upgrading to 8. Ever)... I'd rather not mess with a good thing.
[00:42] <user1_> #plone
[00:43] <ActionParsnip> JosephHarrietha: the stuff in Lucid is painful on newer kit in my experience. I always grab the next release when it hits alpha1
[00:43] <JosephHarrietha> ActionParsnip, I can't really afford to either. Managing two Debian repo's, 4 websites and Uni gets stressful.
[00:44] <JosephHarrietha> ActionParsnip, I can't, I need stability. LTS is the best chance Ive got without going for Debian sqeeze haha.
[00:45] <JosephHarrietha> ActionParsnip, I used to have time to mess with my system and wipe my harddrive every month to have more fun... sadly, this is not the case anymore.
[00:45] <ActionParsnip> JosephHarrietha: I manage several DCs for work as well as remote customers, but its not my kit. My home PC gets played with lots
[00:47] <JosephHarrietha> ActionParsnip, I see, My PC is my work and play. Its a 2009 Gateway MD73 with plenty of upgrades :P, Getting a MBP in June though.
[00:48] <JosephHarrietha> ActionParsnip, I may just fit it into this case If I can haha. I'll miss it. Red, Silver, Black .... I hate the pure white of apples monopoly.
[00:48] <syn-ack> I. Love. Android. I wouldn't use any other mobile OS.
[00:48] <JosephHarrietha> Regardless, I shall ask once more. Soon I must leave.
[00:48] <JosephHarrietha> syn-ack, To each his own. Personally, I prefer to have a phone that dosen't require debugging.
[00:48] <ActionParsnip> syn-ack: same :)
[00:48] <JosephHarrietha> I am having trouble with my headset. When speaking I sound slow and demonic. I have no idea why its slowing my voice /lowering the pitch
[00:49] <JosephHarrietha> All information required is in the link I have sent, repeated here: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=fb0aa063d86d1aeae48c9cbadca3a85627173af8
[00:49] <ActionParsnip> JosephHarrietha: never had to debug the G1 and GT540 I have had
[00:49] <syn-ack> JosephHarrietha, My phone doesn't require any debugging, either. It's actually really stable.
[00:50] <JosephHarrietha> ActionParsnip, I am only taking shots haha. The nexus looks very nice, I've been using a flip phone for years XD! Never upgraded. Got an iPod Touch just because I kept breaking Mp3 players.
[00:51] <ActionParsnip> JosephHarrietha: does an external mic work ok?
[00:51] <JosephHarrietha> It is an external.
[00:52] <JosephHarrietha> The internal Mic stopped working about... last year? maybe two years ago? Haha. My fiancee spilled coffee on it....
[00:52] <recon_lap> JosephHarrietha:Dont have any ideas other than posting on the help forums might get some answers
[00:53] <JosephHarrietha> Alright. Damn, that's what I get for using a microsoft headset. Christmas gift gone wrong haha
[00:54] <rsvp> Q: how do I start pidgin in another environment, eg "$ DISPLAY=:0.1 && pidgin" does not start up in workspace 1. Any helpful advice ??
[00:54] <JosephHarrietha> Anyway, I best be off. I have work to do, and noobs to pwn at physics (Kidding :P ). Goodbye, and a brief, "have a nice day" to you all
[00:54] <recon_lap> JosephHarrietha: lol is the headset running vista :P
[00:57] <ActionParsnip> rsvp: you can use devilspie (and gdevilspie from googlecode to configure it) to setup which desktop apps start on as well as window dimenstion if you really want
[00:58] <rsvp> ActionParsnip, there must be simple command line solution to start up a program in a desired workspace.
[00:59] <zenon_> hello
[01:00] <binaryplease> hi im looking for a linux software comparable to max/msp, cant find anything usable with google. any suggestions?
[01:00] <zenon_> can anyone tell me what the difference in installer & just unpack & run?
[01:01] <zenon_> in this case its for a game
[01:01] <Vovk> Ubuntu 11.04 does not see my ethernet controller, lspci | grep -i Ethernet does not bring up anything. ifconfig just shows loopback interface. ifconfig eth0 up shows no such device. EVGA motherboard has built in ethernet card. what do?
[01:01] <zenon_> I know just unpack & run will not install
[01:02] <Vovk> install will make it automatically available in ubuntu's menu system
[01:02] <Vovk> and might make it possible to automatically update the game
[01:02] <Vovk> depending on what the installer actually does
[01:02] <Vovk> with unpack and run you'll have to manually make menu entries and manually update
[01:03] <israel> 7quit
[01:03] <recon_lap> zebon_: really depends on the installer, most installers will unpack the program plus other jobs automatically
[01:04] <Vovk> so erm yeah. experienced horrible crash on windows/ubuntu dual boot system while using windows 2 days ago. No live CD's or fresh ubuntu install will see the network card anymore
[01:04] <zenon_> I prefer manually doing things
[01:04] <Vovk> windows won't install due to bad disc
[01:04] <telnetter> installing onto a 4GB usb stick. all went well, but will not boot. says non system disk boot failure. trying to use a boot repair disk which will fix the grub. but I don't want to mess up my systems dual boot. do I purge and reinstall on sdd1 (the usb drive, then place the grub onto sdd? really new user here.
[01:05] <zenon_> ok thank you
[01:05] <Vovk> the actual crash made it impossible to boot any OS (pretty sure mbr and windows boot filesystem were simultaneously corrupted)
[01:05] <Vovk> reinstalled ubuntu 11.04
[01:05] <recon_lap> zenon_: might be getting a lot of external dependency's for example
[01:05] <dicannamas> i did reconfigure graphic drivers as originally from Oneiric after testing some 3th party driver but now i only get the 2d option to work and when i use unity i only get the background
[01:05] <Vovk> can no longer connect to internet with wired device
[01:05] <IsmAvatar> Hey guys. I have the stupid on-screen keyboard stuck on my login screen (I guess it's lightdm), but the quit button is disabled. How do I make it go away?
[01:05] <zenon_> ok
[01:05] <Vovk> kinda in trouble... on laptop without cd writing abilities
[01:05] <Sebastien> Hello, i am trying to create a page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SebLemery but it tells me i am not allowed. How can someone be allowed to do so?
[01:05] <Vovk> really want to force system to see network card - would solve all my issues
[01:06] <zenon_> so in cases its more secure to unpack & run?
[01:06] <Vovk> physical light on network card is on
[01:06]  * Sebastien is a member of http://ubuntu-qc.org/
[01:06] <Vovk> so it's receiving power I guess... but not visible to any OS
[01:07] <Vovk> no network gurus here? :(
[01:08] <ActionParsnip> Vovk: can you ping the router's internal IP?
[01:08] <urlin2u> telnetter, how did you install on the usb?
[01:09] <recon_lap> zenon_: it hard to know, really depends on the program/installer , some installers do little more than unpack the program, others can do lots more. if you want secure you probably have to check the code and compile it yourself
[01:09] <Vovk> router's internal ip is 127.0.0.0?
[01:09] <Vovk> oh
[01:10] <Vovk> no. internal ip of the router is 192.168.1.1 (it's actually a laptop forwarding a connection) cannae ping
[01:10] <urlin2u> telnetter, you can load grub to the mbr area of the usb with a kive ubuntu disc, would you like a link?
[01:10] <telnetter> urlin2u, from a livecd, chose sdd1 format ext4, chose swap second partition on sdd and grub on sdd1.
[01:10] <ActionParsnip> Vovk: ok, does the interface have an IP address?
[01:10] <Vovk> interface is not found
[01:10] <Vovk> ifconfig just shows loopback interface
[01:10] <Vovk> lspci does not even show the card
[01:11] <ActionParsnip> Vovk: ok then run:  sudo lshw -C network    youi will see the interface name
[01:11] <Nullifi3d> have you tried compiling drivers?
[01:11] <ActionParsnip> Vovk: you will need the product line
[01:11] <Nullifi3d> Vovk
[01:11] <zenon_> I'm noob at linux in transition, how do I go abount maintaining setup?
[01:11] <telnetter> urlin2u, i have 'boot-repair' which will purge and repair grubs. is that the same thing?
[01:11] <ActionParsnip> zenon_: keep on top of updates
[01:11] <zenon_> cheers Recon
[01:11] <Oer> Vovk, is it enabled in the bios ?
[01:11] <ActionParsnip> zenon_: you can use apps like bleachbit to keep the OS clutter free, otherwise it's pretty ok
[01:12] <urlin2u> telnetter, 3 methods of putting grub in the mbr read carefully.   https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling_GRUB2
[01:12] <Vovk> bios is on factory default, running lshw
[01:12] <Vovk> lshw -C Network -> nothing
[01:12] <recon_lap> zenon_ no one checks the code, trusting the supplier and keeping uptodate normal
[01:12] <Vovk> sudo lshw shows a lot of things, none of which are network card
[01:12] <Vovk> wondering if it's physically damaged
[01:12] <Vovk> don't know how it could be tho
[01:13] <Vovk> maybe a spider crawled in and sparked it... low chance of that tho...
[01:13] <zenon_> thank you all
[01:13] <zenon_> I want to check the code.
[01:13] <zenon_> but I'm noob
[01:13] <Nullifi3d> Vovk, it was working in windows, correct?
[01:13] <Oer> Vovk what type of laptop is it ? does it have a FN key to enable/disable network ?
[01:13] <urlin2u> telnetter, personally I would not use any gui grub repair, but I knkw the basics of doing it from a live cd or using suoergrub to boot the OS and just doing it from the desktop terminal.
[01:13] <zenon_> loosening off the eyes ^^
[01:13] <syn-ack> Oer, My HP does.
[01:13] <urlin2u> supergrub*
[01:14] <Vovk> was working in windows - then windows crashed (lulz) and suddenly, nothing would boot. reinstalled ubuntu on same HD, it boots
[01:14] <Vovk> it is a desktop
[01:14] <Vovk> writing to you from lappy
[01:14] <Nullifi3d> so if you know or can find out the model of the laptop, and from that determine your nic, id suggest finding specific drivers for your nic and compiling them for the kernel
[01:14] <Nullifi3d> i think thats a good step to take
[01:15] <Nullifi3d> thats what id do at this point if i were you
[01:15] <zenon_> what tutorials should I watch?
[01:15] <Vovk> not on a laptop. EVGA FTW 720 motherboard with built in ethernet card
[01:15] <telnetter> urlin2u, i have the gui boot-repair. if I tell it to scrub and reinstall the grub on sdd1, then the other option is 'force grub install to' i should choose sdd right? and that won't affect the other two installs I have on the hard drives?
[01:15] <Nullifi3d> oh, wellwhatever
[01:15] <Nullifi3d> can still do it
[01:15] <urlin2u> telnetter, never used it I can't confirm anything.
[01:16] <recon_lap> zenon_ ; seriously, if you distrust the program that much you probably should not install it.
[01:16] <Vovk> hmm want nvidia NIC driver for linux
[01:16] <Vovk> or nvidia nic module
[01:16] <Vovk> the thing is it used to work from a vanilla ubuntu livecd
[01:16] <Vovk> using same livecd won't find NIC anymore
[01:17] <zenon_> its for my own kowledge
[01:17] <ActionParsnip> Vovk: check BIOS
[01:17] <Vovk> rebooting to check BIOS
[01:17] <Nullifi3d> well if thats true then i bet your nic is fried :/
[01:17] <ActionParsnip> Vovk: its probably some realtek thing
[01:17] <Vovk> prolly
[01:17] <zenon_> I dont trust ubuntu
[01:17] <Vovk> you can usually trust ubuntu
[01:17] <zenon_> its good
[01:17] <zenon_> I like it
[01:17] <urlin2u> telnetter, always run a sudo fdisk -l to confirm the usb though as if you boot with a uab the partitions can be moved in how they are being read. Such as then sda of the hd might read as sdb and the usb as sda
[01:17] <Vovk> just can't trust it to not install bloat... but you can take that out yourself
[01:18] <zenon_> but I need to learn how to secure check & fix
[01:18] <zenon_> & everything
[01:18] <urlin2u> bloat the noobs favorite word. lol
[01:18] <zenon_> I lol
[01:19] <recon_lap> zenon_ lol, 4 years collage , and probably 5+ years working in computer security and you would be off to a good start
[01:19] <zenon_> meanig you
[01:19] <ActionParsnip> zenon_: the default setup isn't badly setup for security
[01:19] <Vovk> in BIOS
[01:19] <Vovk> looking for something to help
[01:19] <zenon_> yeh I need to get cracking, excuse the pun
[01:19] <Vovk> found MAC0 and MAC1 lan disabled
[01:19] <Vovk> only 2 choices are disabled and auto... switched them to auto
[01:19] <zenon_> I don't want to crack.
[01:19] <Vovk> don't think that was the right thing tho
[01:19] <ActionParsnip> Vovk: grab your bios manual onmline, you may just need to set it to factory defaults and be ok
[01:20] <Vovk> it was at factory defaults
[01:20] <ActionParsnip> Vovk: just flick through the menus, see what you can find
[01:20] <zenon_> my veiws on security are that it should be updated & secured before even near the net
[01:21] <Oer> Vovk check all settings to be sure, enable execute bit and stuff
[01:21] <zenon_> I don't know how to do that will linux yet
[01:21] <Vovk> checked all settings, enabled basically everything. traying again
[01:21] <Vovk> trying again*
[01:21] <telnetter> urlin2u, yeah, its sdd in fdisk
[01:21] <zenon_> *with
[01:21] <ActionParsnip> zenon_: updates offline is possible but pretty unnecessary
[01:22] <zenon_> I think it is
[01:22] <zenon_> its just logic
[01:22] <ActionParsnip> zenon_: offline windows updates for a home user? Seems excessive
[01:22] <zenon_> mac being uncrashible turned out to be a myth
[01:22] <ActionParsnip> zenon_: you got a WSUS server?
[01:22] <recon_lap> zenon_: you just been using windows to long, ubuntu starts off secure
[01:22] <urlin2u> telnetter, still can't confirm myself on a app I have never used, I gave you the link to fix it easily from a ubuntu live cd though.
[01:22] <Wargasm> bah windows... I hate booting into it
[01:23] <telnetter> urlin2u, yes, thanks I will try that.
[01:23] <zenon_> I don't know what wsus is
[01:23] <recon_lap> zenon_: then you make changes and make it less secure
[01:23] <Wargasm> feels filthy to use windows now that I have ubuntu
[01:23] <zenon_> I read it some where a bit backj
[01:23] <ActionParsnip> zenon_: its an updates server which runs on the network, professional companies have them so easch server doesn't use the new to update from
[01:23] <urlin2u> telnetter, download supergrub to boot into the usb and install the grub bootloader from there one command and a update-grub.
[01:24] <ActionParsnip> zenon_: how would you updte a windows PC without web connection and without WSUS?
[01:24] <zenon_> I'm noob to ervers too =/
[01:24] <syn-ack> ActionParsnip, You'd use BITS
[01:24] <zenon_> can do addressing on the most part
[01:24] <Vovk> cheers
[01:24] <Vovk> turning on everything in bios fixed
[01:24] <ActionParsnip> syn-ack: bits uses the web..
[01:24] <Vovk> not sure how windows effected BIOS, but should be good now.
[01:24] <ActionParsnip> zenon_: how do you update windows before going on the web...
[01:24] <recon_lap> zenon_; been running ubuntu since 2006 without anti virus software and never got a virus
[01:24] <syn-ack> Thats true
[01:25] <zenon_> routers just I don't know all of it
[01:25] <urlin2u> telnetter, http://www.supergrubdisk.org/super-grub2-disk/
[01:25] <hayer> how the hell did one of my network interfaces disappear?
[01:25] <syn-ack> Magic
[01:25] <hayer> no, srsly.
[01:25] <ActionParsnip> hayer: arer you Vovk ?
[01:25] <hayer> no.
[01:25] <hayer> there is no "networking" service
[01:25] <zenon_> I'm refreshed to the point of knowing I need all the sp's & security updates for the sp's
[01:25] <ActionParsnip> hayer: ok, if you run:  sudo lshw -C network    do you see the device?
[01:26] <zenon_> exe's
[01:26] <recon_lap> damn, you beat me to it ActionParsnip
[01:26]  * Lint wonders what OS kernel.org was running without an antivirus software
[01:26] <Vovk> lol i am not hayer
[01:26] <zenon_> brb scrolling right back to see what I missed
[01:27] <ActionParsnip> zenon_: but what about if you need more that you don't have, its clunky as anything for very little gain
[01:27] <hayer> it says "DISABLED"..
[01:27] <Vovk> what does lshw -C Network show hayer?
[01:27] <lwizardl> is there a way block a ubuntu system from internet access but allow for lan connections ? basically I want to be able to transfer files locally but not globally
[01:27] <ActionParsnip> hayer: is there a switch to enable or disable networking?
[01:27] <ActionParsnip> lwizardl: you could set no DNS servers, then set the hostnames in /etc/hosts
[01:27] <urlin2u> telnetter, if you use the supergrub disc to get in to the usb OS I can give you the command to load the grub bootloader.
[01:27] <zenon_> when I get to security software with windows I give up I don't want to pay for what is'nt securing me
[01:28] <hayer> ActionParsnip: i ask u.
[01:28] <bazhang> !ot | zenon_
[01:28] <Vovk> hayer
[01:28] <Vovk> in terminal -> ifconfig
[01:28] <recon_lap>  zenon_ : just install ubuntu and stop thinking in windows , you'll be safe
[01:28] <zenon_> & with socket vulnerabilities whats the point.
[01:28] <goddard> how can i search multiple directories for a file that has a word in the file name?
[01:28] <bazhang> lets get back to ubuntu support. windows chat in ##windows
[01:29] <zenon_> I know linux is more secure anyway
[01:29] <goddard> recon_lap: at least moderately
[01:29] <Vovk> zenon - if you are paranoid, you can use Firestarter to get a firewall set up
[01:29] <Vovk> it's an interface for iptables, which you can read about
[01:29] <bazhang> Vovk, its been displaced by ufw/gufw
[01:29] <Vovk> linux + firewall + sane user access control = basically good
[01:29] <zenon_> thats not tech advice ^^
[01:29] <recon_lap> as far as i recall ubuntu has all ports closed by default
[01:29] <Vovk> ah, did not know that bazhang
[01:29] <syn-ack> bazhang, whaaaa?
[01:29] <goddard> personally i think the "firewalls" suck for linux
[01:30] <Vovk> goddard, hmm?
[01:30] <ActionParsnip> hayer: look at the keyboard and such
[01:30] <Vovk> blocks access to certain ports
[01:30] <ActionParsnip> hayer: or you may have a hard switch
[01:30] <goddard> Vovk: well i mean it in the sense that the GUI sucks
[01:30] <Vovk> and can forward ports to other ones
[01:30] <zenon_> thank you for all advice
[01:30] <Wargasm> zenon_: I use firestarter... you can sit there and watch the traffic if you want
[01:30] <Vovk> what else do you want a firewall to do?
[01:30] <_schism_> anyone running ksplice?
[01:30] <zenon_> scrolling back now
[01:30] <syn-ack> goddard, There's nothing wrong with iptables in and of it's self, but nothing compares to ipw, imo
[01:30] <goddard> Vovk: make it easier less work
[01:30] <ActionParsnip> hayer: you can also use network manager to enable / disable connections
[01:30] <zenon_> thats what I want.
[01:30] <hayer> ActionParsnip: nope, nothing - its a desktop running server
[01:31] <zenon_> cheers
[01:31] <Vovk> firestarter has a fairly nice gui wizard
[01:31] <urlin2u> syn-ack, if you read the channel guidelines it might help you. :)
[01:31] <syn-ack> urlin2u, I know exactly what the channel guidelines are.
[01:31] <zenon_> I'm learning on ubuntu, going to use more advanced distro when ready
[01:31] <Wargasm> zenon_ it also has stop all traffic feature just in case
[01:31] <goddard> Vovk: it is a little dated is all I'm saying
[01:31] <urlin2u> syn-ack, excellent. :)
[01:31] <goddard> Vovk: it does a good job but it could be better
[01:32] <ActionParsnip> hayer: try:  sudo rfkill unblock all
[01:32] <goddard> how can i search multiple directories for a file that has a word in the file name?
[01:32] <ActionParsnip> goddard: sudo find /path/to/folder | grep name
[01:33] <Wargasm> ActionParsnip: thanks, I learned something again
[01:33] <goddard> ActionParsnip: that works if the "name" isn't exact and just has the word in the name? cool
[01:33] <recon_lap> goddard: grep -lir string *
[01:33] <zenon_> my electricity cut out on machine, how would that effect sys & what do I have to do form maintenance?
[01:33] <recon_lap> i think
[01:33] <ActionParsnip> goddard: it can be any part, I suggest you use:  grep -i   make it case insensitive
[01:33] <zenon_> *for
[01:33] <bazhang> zenon_, ##hardware
[01:33] <ActionParsnip> goddard: I use sudo with find so you don't get access denied messages
[01:34] <goddard> ActionParsnip: OK
[01:34] <Guest81507> hello
[01:35] <ActionParsnip> Wargasm: learning is good :D
[01:35] <hayer> ActionParsnip: rfkill not found :s
[01:35] <recon_lap> hi Guest81507 , you might want to pick a name using /nick <aname>
[01:36] <Guest81507> how can i do that
[01:36] <ActionParsnip> hayer: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[01:36] <ActionParsnip> !nick | Guest81507
[01:36] <recon_lap> Guest81507: just type '/nick thenameyouwant'
[01:37] <Guest81507> okay
[01:37] <zenon_> as well my sound card is'nt working right, might install ubuntu studios after I have a shot at fixing
[01:38] <hayer> ActionParsnip: gimme a sec, rebooting - seem'd like the service-thingy crashed.
[01:40] <hayer> ActionParsnip: when booting it waits 2-3mins at "Waiting for network configuration.." then it says "Waiting up to 60 more secs for network configuration"
[01:42] <ActionParsnip> hayer: is the network cable ok?
[01:42] <ActionParsnip> hayer: have you tried a different port
[01:42] <recon_lap> port?
[01:42] <kopilo> hey I'm currently trying to combine jailkit + fuse + ssh, has anyone been able to do this before?
[01:42] <hayer> yepp, cable is ok - problem is that the interface dosnt show up
[01:42] <hayer> not even in ifconfig
[01:43] <kopilo> what does ifconfig list?
[01:43] <Wargasm> ActionParsnip: sweet it worked, very interesting
[01:43] <recon_lap> hayer; paste the output of lshw -C network
[01:43] <zenon_> Zebon, Unzebon *.^
[01:43] <hayer> recon_lap: gimme some secs, got to type
[01:45] <kopilo> is there a way to limit which directories sshfs & scp can connect to via ssh?
[01:45] <Vovk> finally
[01:45] <Vovk> 1 random restart later and internet connection achieved :D
[01:45] <kopilo> \o/
[01:45] <goddard> recon_lap: that thing is taking a long time
[01:45] <Vovk> well... 1 random restart, 1 switching which card the cable was plugged into, and 1 entering of the correct manual router details
[01:46] <recon_lap> goddard: what thing?
[01:46] <hayer> recon_lap, ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/834697/
[01:46] <ActionParsnip> Wargasm: its good fun. can also use:  locate | grep stuff   and so on
[01:46] <Vovk> also, I just realized that the most recent release is called oneiric ocelot... I think Shuttleworth is mad...
[01:47] <goddard> hayer: is there a command line tool to paste clipboard text to ubuntu pastebin?
[01:47] <recon_lap> hayer: try ifup eth0
[01:47] <hayer> with sudo?
[01:47] <ActionParsnip> Vovk: just use version numbers and ignore the codenames then
[01:47] <hayer> goddard: no, not as i know of
[01:48] <kopilo> $sudo ifconfig eth0
[01:48] <kopilo> $sudo ifconfig eth0 up
[01:48] <Vovk> fair 'nuff. also actionparsnip, did nvidia release open source drivers for their 9000 line of cards?
[01:48] <Vovk> i have a very vivid memory of having to download proprietary drivers
[01:48] <recon_lap> opps been a long time since i fought again a network card
[01:49] <kopilo> Vovk you mean neuvou drivers?
[01:49] <Vovk> neuvou is ???
[01:49] <hayer> recon_lap: just says-> /etc/network/interfaces:10: unknown method \n ifup: couldn't read interfaces file "/etc/network/interfaces"
[01:49] <Vovk> remember I had to grab graphics drivers
[01:49] <kopilo> nouveau*
[01:49] <Oer> Vovk what does this give you > lspci | grep VGA
[01:50] <hayer> recon_lap: my line 10 looks like this-> iface eth0 inet auto    - line 9-> auto eth0
[01:50] <kopilo> if you want 3D acelleration I would still suggest going with the binary nvidia drivers
[01:50] <ActionParsnip> Vovk: not sure, I always add the xorg edgers updates ppa and install the 290 driver  straight off
[01:50] <kopilo> if you don't, nouveau drivers are great
[01:50] <Vovk> nVidia Corp G92 GeForce 9800 GT
[01:50] <m1chael> is postfix with postgresql support easier to set up on centos or ubuntu? is ubuntu generally easier to work with?
[01:50] <recon_lap> hayer: sudo ifconfig eth0     and    sudo ifconfig eth0 up , i'm out of date and forgetfull kopilo seem more current
[01:50] <ActionParsnip> Vovk: I've had ok performance with nouvaeu but Its a habit, kills of plymouth but I don't care
[01:51] <Vovk> also i would love 3D acceleration, tho the drivers used to be available in what used to be called the Restricted Drivers Manager
[01:51] <Vovk> that manager now shows 0 drivers
[01:51] <ActionParsnip> Vovk: I've used both drivers on a 6150 LE and its been ok. I'd imaginr the 9800GT will be ok.
[01:51] <recon_lap> Vovk: check with glxgears
[01:51] <Vovk> apparently unity can't run on a vanilla install with 9800 gt
[01:51] <Vovk> tho apparently unity is crap
[01:51] <hayer> kopilo, recon_lap: didnt do anything?
[01:51] <ActionParsnip> Vovk: run:  sudo apt-get install nvidia-current     and it will install the driver you need
[01:52] <Vovk> and i plan to use fluxbox anyway... but still
[01:52] <Vovk> aah cheers parsnip
[01:52] <hayer> Just same old "Link encap: Ethernet.. " still no ip etc
[01:52] <kopilo> I have used nouveau drivers with 9800GT was fine for 2D stuff
[01:52] <ActionParsnip> Vovk: a software's appeal and quality is a personal thing. Some folks love unity, some hate it
[01:52] <Vovk> i plan to give unity a try
[01:52] <ActionParsnip> Vovk: so it is completely subjective, its like ANY software you can name
[01:52] <Vovk> if it's anywhere as configurable as fluxbox, and doesn't eat a stupid amount of resources, i'll probably stick with it out of laziness
[01:53] <kopilo> icewm, openbox ?
[01:53] <kopilo> fvwm
[01:53] <ActionParsnip> Vovk: I wouldn't say it was as configurable as fluxbox, fluxbox is VERY customizable
[01:53] <Vovk> <3 fluxbox
[01:53] <ActionParsnip> <3 openbox
[01:53] <Vovk> fair nuff
[01:53] <kopilo> <3 xfce4 xD
[01:53] <ActionParsnip> same deal
[01:54] <Vovk> features of openbox over fluxbox?
[01:54] <kopilo> lxde doesn't seem too bad though
[01:55] <recon_lap> hayer:  try lspci -nn | grep Network
[01:55] <ActionParsnip> Vovk: they are based on the similar code, not really sure of the differences really
[01:55] <ActionParsnip> kopilo: lxde rocks
[01:55] <hayer> nvm.. in the interfaces i had "auto" .. When it should have been "dhcp".
[01:55] <ActionParsnip> Vovk: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=39112

[01:55] <hayer> ActionParsnip: ye. :<

[01:57] <dano1> Need help recovering data from an encrypted home directory (on lvm) using a live cd
[01:57] <dano1> I've been able to mount the lvm
[01:58] <dano1> can't mount home
[01:59] <goddard> recon_lap: find downloadvault/ | grep -lir '*adult*'
[01:59] <ActionParsnip> goddard: no need for the*s in grep
[01:59] <Vovk> from what i can tell, the active differences between fluxbox and openbox are inital lack of panel in openbox, openbox uses XML format for customization, fluxbox comes with more stuff autoconfigured
[01:59] <goddard> oh
[01:59] <Vovk> other than those, basically the same if you configure them to be the same
[01:59] <Vovk> gunna stick with flux just because i know it
[02:00] <ActionParsnip> goddard: grep finds the string you grep for in the files, so it will always act that way, you don't need to tell it
[02:00] <ActionParsnip> recon_lap: goddard: finf downloadvault | grep -i adult
[02:00] <Vovk> also fluxbox has the slit, but iirc the last stuff to be actively developed for the slit were made for blackbox and are from 2004... so meh
[02:00] <goddard> ActionParsnip: im trying to find the string in the file name only
[02:00] <ActionParsnip> find, you get the idea
[02:00] <goddard> ok
[02:00] <ActionParsnip> goddard: yes, that will do it ;)_
[02:01] <Oer> dano1, these instructions could work, 'sudo ecryptfs-recover-private' >> http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2011/04/introducing-ecryptfs-recover-private.html
[02:02] <dano1> Oer: thanks.  I'll look it over
[02:03] <T_H_X> ..
[02:03] <goddard> ActionParsnip: hmm the only one i can get to return any results is grep -lir adult ~/downloadvault/
[02:03] <ActionParsnip> goddard: that searches _inside the files_ for the word 'adult'
[02:03] <recon_lap> goddard: i never had to use the find bit, been a while but think it was "grep -lir 'adult' *"
[02:04] <goddard> ActionParsnip: will this look recursively through sub folders?
[02:04] <ActionParsnip> goddard: find does that by default, you added the -r switch so it will be recursive
[02:06] <recon_lap> goddard ; you ming want to check greps man page to see if it suports -r
[02:07] <goddard> recon_lap: i think it does but i have zip files
[02:07] <goddard> recon_lap: i dont want to go through zip files hmm...

[02:10] <urlin2u> waggysax, might help if you identify the card.

[02:10] <waggysax> urlin2u, "identify the card?"
[02:10] <waggysax> oh
[02:11] <urlin2u> waggysax, is it a nividia and which one?

[02:21] <clu3> Hello all, in ubuntu 11, after setting the background image via the command "gconftool --type String --set /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename file://path/to/img" , i see that the value is changed, but the desktop bg is still the same. Do i need to do anything to reload the gconf? This script used to work in ubuntu 10.10
[02:23] <ActionParsnip> clu3: 11.10 or 11.04?
[02:24] <clu3> ActionParsnip, 11.04
[02:24] <clu3> i upgraded from ubuntu 10
[02:24] <ActionParsnip> clu3: http://askubuntu.com/questions/66914/how-to-change-desktop-background-from-command-line-in-unity   try that
[02:25] <ActionParsnip> clu3: not sure if natty uses some gnome3 stuffs
[02:25] <Dr_willis> i dont think it does.
[02:25] <Mavrick95> can someone explain to me how I rename/delete/copy a file while in console mode?
[02:25] <ActionParsnip> clu3: you REALLY need to start adding the full versions. There is no ubuntu 10, there is 10.04 and 10.10
[02:25] <Dr_willis> Mavrick95:    mv foo bar
[02:25] <Dr_willis> is one way
[02:26] <ActionParsnip> Mavrick95: mv  to rename
[02:26] <Dr_willis> cp file1 newfile      for copy
[02:26] <Mavrick95> i need to rename the /etc/x11/xorg.conf file prior to rebooting
[02:26] <ActionParsnip> Mavrick95: rm to delete
[02:26] <Dr_willis> Mavrick95:  you may want to check out some bash tutorials.
[02:26] <ActionParsnip> Mavrick95: sudo mv /etc/x11/xorg.conf /etc/x11/xorg.conf_old
[02:26] <buhu> how can I do a back-up of my whole system?
[02:26] <ActionParsnip> !backup | buhu
[02:26] <buhu> ActionParsnip: thanks
[02:26] <Dr_willis> Mavrick95:  sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.MYBackup
[02:26] <urlin2u> buhu, I use clonezilla as a clone

[02:27] <Descra> Hi. A program that uses a library that have a LGPL licence, must be LGPL too? or can have another licence (be closed source, comercial, etc...)?
[02:27] <T_H_X> goddard: find ./ ! \( -name *.zip \) |grep -i adult
[02:27] <T_H_X> will skip sipz
[02:28] <Dr_willis> Descra:  thers is the #gpl channel I belive.
[02:28] <clu3> thanks ActionParsnip , that link works, so it's true, Ubuntu 11.04 is now using Gnome3
[02:28] <Mavrick95> Dr_willis: ok, thanks. i will try the solution you advised me yesterday. if that dows not work i am prepared to install ubuntu again.
[02:28] <Dr_willis> Mavrick95:  i dont even ermber what i did 5 min ago,., much less yesterday. :)
[02:29] <Descra> Dr_willis, yes, with one user here ^^
[02:29] <ActionParsnip> clu3: seems to have moved over, could make it into a script. Something like 'setwallpaper' ;)
[02:31] <Nach0z> hey guys, need some help :/ I seem to have ROYALLY JACKED UP my ~ folder :/
[02:31] <Nach0z> it's got me as the owner when I do ll, but I can't even cd into it unless I'm root
[02:32] <Dr_willis> Nach0z:  check the ownership  of /home/yourusername  also
[02:32] <Dr_willis> and the permissions.
[02:32] <Dr_willis> bbl - work time for me.
[02:32] <Nach0z> that's the first thing I checked :/
[02:32] <Nach0z> still no dice.
[02:32] <ActionParsnip> Nach0z: is the folder markes as executable
[02:32] <Pancakez> Descra: I believe the LGPL libraries can be used in programs with different licenses.  Pretty sure that's the reason the LGPL exists
[02:32] <Nach0z> ActionParsnip: +x? believe so yes
[02:32] <ActionParsnip> Nach0z: sudo chmod +x $HOME
[02:33] <Nach0z> ActionParsnip: done
[02:33] <Nach0z> and still no access for me
[02:33] <T_H_X> check /home
[02:34] <Nach0z> .... just did that now, and it's owned by root. changing to +x...
[02:34] <T_H_X> doh
[02:34] <ActionParsnip> Nach0z: what is the output of: ls -l /home
[02:34] <Xaliave> Hello
[02:34] <Descra> Pancakez, ok. Thx.
[02:37] <Nach0z> ActionParsnip: total 12
[02:37] <Nach0z> drwxrwxr-x 102 vader vader 12288 2012-02-08 21:36 vader
[02:37] <Nach0z> oh whoops
[02:37] <Nach0z> meant to copypaste the pastebinit link :S
[02:38] <Nach0z> sorry. but yeah. I'm confused >_<
[02:38] <T_H_X> ls -ld /home
[02:38] <Nach0z> http://paste.ubuntu.com/834733/
[02:39] <Nach0z> T_H_X: check tha pastebin link there
[02:39] <Nach0z> and what's weird is that I reset all those permissions before I rebooted
[02:39] <Nach0z> when I rebooted again all the perms were changed up
[02:40] <ActionParsnip> Nach0z: is your username 'vader'?
[02:40] <T_H_X> Nach0z: check ls -ld / and  ls -ld /home
[02:40] <clu3> ActionParsnip, yep, i am actually running it as a script to add my todolist to the desktop background, everytime i start my day. https://github.com/clu3/ubuntu-desktop-todo-list ^^
[02:41] <ActionParsnip> clu3: nice, I have similar but its a post install script called: dostuff
[02:41] <T_H_X> Nach0z: they shouldboth be drwxr-xr-x
[02:41] <Nach0z> ActionParsnip: yeah that's me
[02:41] <T_H_X> Nach0z: if not do chmod 755 / /home
[02:41] <Nach0z> T_H_X: they were, but owned by root
[02:41] <T_H_X> Nach0z: thats fine
[02:42] <Nach0z> T_H_X: ActionParsnip: Here's the weird part. When I re-set the permissions and rebooted, the permissions got changed BACK to broken when I logged in
[02:42] <Nach0z> but when I edited /etc/fstab to NOT have /dev/sda9 as /home/vader, and rebooted after fixing perms again, the permissions were all fixed and stuff when I rebooted again
[02:43] <Nach0z> alright. So new problem for yall then
[02:44] <Nach0z> I have a partition I want to mount as /home/vader, so how do I do this without breaking ubuntu? XD
[02:44] <T_H_X> Nach0z: maybe the drive wasnt mounted when you fixed the perms.
[02:44] <Mavrick95> i cant find the xorg.conf file through console mode, it is not found. can it be the reason why my computer is booting to a black screen?
[02:44] <clu3> ActionParsnip, nice. i find todolist in the background image so much easier than opening another todolist app
[02:44] <T_H_X> Nach0z: are you forcing uid and gid via fstab?
[02:45] <Nach0z> T_H_X: not a dang clue. not entirely sure how to check either to be honest
[02:46] <Nach0z> the options were nodev,nosuid though
[02:46] <Nach0z> dunno if that helps at all
[02:47] <T_H_X> Nach0z: /dev/sda9 /home/vader ext4 defaults 0 2     in fstab, if its ext4 FS.. then mount it
[02:47] <fattom> !lista
[02:48] <Nach0z> okidoki.
[02:48] <Nach0z> lemme try that out then and reboot
[02:48] <Nach0z> will I need to chown the partition and stuff to myself after this?
[02:48] <T_H_X> yes
[02:48] <dave> morning :)
[02:49] <T_H_X> heh
[02:49] <Nach0z> T_H_X: so that's the exact command? don't use nosuid or something instead of 'defaults'?
[02:50] <T_H_X> nah
[02:50] <Nach0z> alrighty
[02:50] <Nach0z> will try it out then
[02:51] <Mavrick95> when i try to boot up my computer, before the black screen hits, i can see a line that says "load fallback graphics = [fail]". does that mean I lack ubuntu's standard drivers necessary to solve the black screen issue? i traced back my problem to ati's proprietary graphics, need to remove it.
[02:52] <Nach0z> Mavrick95: what computer are you on just outta curiosity?
[02:52] <Nach0z> I have an ATI card that also doesn't work
[02:53] <Mavrick95> Nach0z: mine is ati discrete gpu Radeon HD5670
[02:53] <Nach0z> hey T_H_X it works, thanks hombre
[02:53] <Nach0z> Mavrick95: I meant the computer itself, like is it a pavilion dv by any chance?
[02:53] <Nach0z> like a HP pavilion dv5 or dv6?
[02:54] <Mavrick95> Nach0z: no, self build
[02:54] <T_H_X> Nach0z: rockin
[02:54] <Nach0z> ah. Mavrick95 is it a hybrid graphics system? intel HD graphics + ATI graphics?
[02:54] <T_H_X> ActionParsnip: sorry for butting in there
[02:55] <Nach0z> T_H_X: got one more question for ya. is there a tag for cp that will make it NOT overwrite files?
[02:56] <Mavrick95> Nach0z: yes, actually i bought thinking of crossfiring with the iGPU from ASUS MoBo, but that is onloy possible while in windows environment
[02:56] <Nach0z> yeah that's the problem :/
[02:56] <Nach0z> hybrid graphics + ATI + Linux BREAKS HORRIBLY  :/
[02:56] <Mavrick95> Nach0z: so it was not enabled the hybrid graphics
[02:56] <chrisy__> hi can anyone please help me to uninstall the android sdk i have problems?
[02:57] <Nach0z> Mavrick95: so you disabled switchable gfx in the bios?
[02:57] <T_H_X> Nach0z: use -i interactive cp
[02:57] <Nach0z> ok.
[02:57] <T_H_X> Nach0z: type man cp   it will tell yu all about it
[02:57] <Mavrick95> Nach0z: i dont know, but i did not change anything related to that in BIOS
[02:58] <Nach0z> T_H_X: thanks. just gonna use -n then
[02:58] <T_H_X> :)
[02:58] <Nach0z> Mavrick95: if you have hybrid graphics in any way you're pretty much S.O.L buddy. I've been workin on making hybrid ATI stuff work for MONTHS now with no luck whatsoever. But if someone else can help you, I'll step aside. XD

[03:37] <lilja_> Hi all. I am trying to install ubuntu alongside Mint 11. Even if I wanted to replace Mint I can't. I've burned 3 iso dvds (correctly) and they do not boot even when I f12 and go from the DVD (I am using a toshiba satellite laptop). I'm more than a bit irritated at this point. I don't have room on my usb device to do it from there. Suggestions? Thanks in advance.
[03:37] <ActionParsnip> scope: run:  gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub
[03:38] <scope> yer i did
[03:38] <scope> and that what i got
[03:38] <ActionParsnip> scope: are you using KDE ?
[03:38] <cfhowlett> lilja_: why would you need both when they share repositories??
[03:38] <scope> im on ubuntu 10.10
[03:38] <scope> maverick
[03:38] <Vako> ActionParsnip http://paste.ubuntu.com/834768/
[03:39] <cfhowlett> lilja_: IOW just install the ubuntu apps you want in mint
[03:39] <lilja_> well, I'd just as easily replace and call it a day; so tired I can't even remember what my point was in keeping mint katya
[03:39] <scope> yer same again
[03:39] <ActionParsnip> Vako: if you run:  sudo iwlist scan    do you see wireless networks?
[03:40] <ActionParsnip> scope: Maverick is EOL in 2 months, I wouldn't waste any time on it and go for Oneiric
[03:40] <scope> ok
[03:40] <scope> but with no mouse how do i o that
[03:40] <ActionParsnip> scope: grab the Oneiric ISO, burn it slowly to a CD after MD5 testing it and boot to it
[03:41] <ActionParsnip> scope: be sure your backups are up to date, delete the Maverick partitions and install to the new free space
[03:41] <Vako> vako@ubuntu:~$ sudo iwlist scan
[03:41] <Vako> lo Interface doesn't support scanning.
[03:41] <Vako> eth0 Interface doesn't support scanning.
[03:41] <Vako> wlan0 No scan results
[03:41] <Vako> grrrrrrrrrr
[03:41] <FloodBot1> Vako: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:41] <Vako> sorry..
[03:41] <lilja_> cfhowlett shouldn't I be able to install ubuntu one way or another? I just don't understand why it won't install. Mint 12 Lisa and Mint 12 KDE won't either but I get further in the process before it stops
[03:41] <scope> wow thats too advance for a newbie
[03:41] <ActionParsnip> Vako: ok can you give a pastebin of:  lsusb; lspci     Thanks
[03:41] <ActionParsnip> scope: hardly..
[03:42] <cfhowlett> lilja_: what error msg's are you getting and what're your hardware specs?
[03:42] <scope> dude you have proberbly been doing this foryears i started pogrammimg last week
[03:42] <scope> this is the first time iv ever used a linux pc
[03:42] <scope> baby steps man baby step
[03:42] <Vako> ActionParsnip http://paste.ubuntu.com/834770/
[03:43] <scope> but i will gie it a try the worst that can happen is i bodge it and have to restart
[03:43] <ericus> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11674650#post11674650 Any ideas? Please reply in the thread, I'm off to sleep now (it's 4:43 in the morning :S)
[03:44] <lilja_> I don't remember for the Mint 12 Lisa disc what the message was, but the others do not display any.. they simply do not work at all. Ubuntu ends up just taking several minutes of the cursor moving down, then it suddenly boots as Mint 11 again. Per specs do you need to know more than which toshiba laptop I am using? Such as how much RAM, etc?
[03:44] <cfhowlett> lilja_: is this a dual boot?
[03:45] <lilja_> I don't have it set up that way. Just Mint 11 right now, and this morning I had to redo that as apparently no swap drive was created the first time it was installed.
[03:45] <cfhowlett> lilja_: are you able to play or operate any other cd's in that disk?  Mine was doing the same thing and I learned that it had actually failed.  Confirmed as it didn't show up in the Places menu...
[03:46] <lilja_> oh you mean the integrity of the disk itself?
[03:46] <ActionParsnip> Vako: are you running this in VMWare?
[03:46] <lilja_> That I am uncertain of as I've now made 3 different ones
[03:46] <cfhowlett> lilja_: no I mean the dvd|rw driver itself had failed.
[03:46] <Vako> ActionParsnip yes
[03:47] <lilja_> So, being a n00b here.. the app I used to burn the iso image?
[03:47] <cfhowlett> lilja_: hardware failure not software.
[03:47] <lilja_> It said it was successful but seeing as every disk I've made with it is worthless.. that could be the case
[03:47] <lilja_> Ah
[03:47] <lilja_> I sure hope not.
[03:47] <lilja_> Is there a test I can run for that?
[03:48] <cfhowlett> lilja_: my replacement cost $69.  Test: stick in a music cd.  If it plays, you're good.  If not...
[03:48] <superdave321> How do I keep transmission from using too much memory and crashing itself and every other app i'm running?
[03:48] <ActionParsnip> Vako: I'd ask in #vmware to make sure the network config is correct
[03:49] <lilja_> *facepalm I definitely don't have $69 lol. Well I know there is another way to install it like I have a tablet or something but I tried that when I still had vista on this thing and it could never get past not unmounting the CD/DVDROM.
[03:49] <cfhowlett> lilja_: no way to burn it to USB and boot?
[03:49] <ActionParsnip> superdave321: can you give a pastebin of the output of: apt-cache policy transmission; lsb_release -a    Thanks
[03:51] <cfhowlett> lilja_: http://www.howtoforge.com/creating-a-bootable-usb-device-on-linux-mint-11
[03:51] <lilja_> Hmm. I could if I had room on a usb device but I don't as that is where I am keeping my bajillion personal files till I get this done. :-/ Ok so another line of questions. I wanted to make a virtual box to put xp on there just so I can run adobe cs3 for win. If everything else works out, is that possible?
[03:51] <lilja_> :-D Thank you.
[03:51] <entreri> test
[03:51] <cfhowlett> lilja_: should be possible.  NOt entirely certain on cs3 tho
[03:52] <cfhowlett> lilja_: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=6584
[03:52] <cfhowlett> guess not...
[03:52] <lilja_> yeah that is a risk I have to take. I'm hoping to download and install it again, then sell it so.. who knows

[03:53] <blumonkey> i just installed ubuntu 10.04 and my external drive is not recognized. it doesnt pop up
[03:53] <cfhowlett> lilja_: 8 g usb drive should'nt cost $20.  Burn an iso boot up
[03:53] <blumonkey> on ubuntu 11.04 and 11.10 it all worked fine
[03:53] <superdave321> ActionParsnip: this may not have given you what you need...
[03:53] <ActionParsnip> superdave321: try:  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:transmissionbt/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
[03:53] <ActionParsnip> superdave321: was fine :)
[03:53] <lilja_> K I'm going to remove a couple files I can live without and try that

[04:02] <ferris-> i have tried novga but that does nothing
[04:03] <Oer> waggy how did you try to remove gflx ? /usr/share/ati/amd-uninstall.sh ?
[04:03] <ActionParsnip> ferris-: try the boot option: nomodeset
[04:04] <ferris-> thanks ActionParsnip
[04:04] <ActionParsnip> ferris-: if you use an nvidia gpu use: nouveau.blacklist=1
[04:05] <waggysax> Oer, I tried that, no such file
[04:06] <superdave321> ActionParsnip: here's the log entries that caught my eye: http://paste.ubuntu.com/834786/
[04:07] <ferris-> looks like nomodeset worked
[04:08] <ActionParsnip> ferris-: probably some intel rubbish, or ati gpu then :)

[04:08] <ActionParsnip> superdave321: if you run transmission as a new user, is it the same?
[04:08] <Oer> waggysax, all i know is an old way on natty >> http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Natty_Installation_Guide#Removing_Catalyst.2Ffglrx
[04:09] <superdave321> ActionParsnip: Gah, i'd rather not, i've got a million and one things running at the moment...
[04:09] <superdave321> ActionParsnip: rather not try, that is
[04:10] <ActionParsnip> superdave321: it won't affect that in any way...
[04:11] <ActionParsnip> superdave321: each user has its own torrents, so running it as a different user won't affect any other users torrents
[04:12] <superdave321> ActionParsnip: i'm just saying that i'd rather not log out and try. unless i'm assuming incorrectly...
[04:12] <ActionParsnip> superdave321: making a new user and running the app there will test if your settings are causing the issue. If the app misbehaves as the new user with vanilla settings then your settings are the issue, if its the same then it is the application itself at fault
[04:12] <ActionParsnip> superdave321: yes, you would need to log out
[04:13] <ActionParsnip> superdave321: but its something very useful to test
[04:14] <superdave321> ActionParsnip: ok. I'll wrap up and test it. get back with you for log results.

[04:22] <IsmAvatar> urlin2u: what about it? It's not one of the startup programs in there
[04:22] <EvilResistance> zulfan, for future reference ;P
[04:22] <ActionParsnip> IsmAvatar: if you hold ALT, can you drag it?
[04:22] <urlin2u> IsmAvatar, I wonder if its orca
[04:23] <zulfan> EvilResistance : ok thx sorry about that
[04:23] <rubst3r> hi all, i need and advice from an ubuntu user plz
[04:23] <EvilResistance> zulfan, no problem :)
[04:23] <zulfan> iḿ really need help for those error
[04:23] <EvilResistance> rubst3r, 98% of this channel uses Ubuntu, whats your question
[04:23] <ActionParsnip> IsmAvatar: apparently its part of the assistive technologies you may have enabled
[04:23] <IsmAvatar> ActionParsnip: no, it's stuck where it is.
[04:23] <EvilResistance> zulfan, if you can copy-paste the information you were sending into pastebin and then give us the link, perhaps we can assist you
[04:24] <ActionParsnip> IsmAvatar: http://askubuntu.com/questions/4314/on-screen-keyboard-malfunctioning-on-login-screen   try find the dconf equivelants of those commands

[04:25] <ActionParsnip> mounty is the nuts for people who can't loop mount an ISO file..
[04:26] <zulfan> ok i try to see those link
[04:26] <IsmAvatar> urlin2u: not sure how I'd find out. It doesn't give its name. It was just the Ubuntu 10.04 default. It's white and smooth looking, which seems to be different from the screenshots I'm seeing of Orca's on-screen keyboard.
[04:27] <rubst3r> i want to try ubuntu but i don't know which version 32bits or 64bits and kubuntu or xubuntu??? and what is the best thing to do to install it alonside windows? do i have to create a new partition first?
[04:27] <ActionParsnip> rubst3r: if you just want to try the OS, you can boot a liveCD or USB and use the OS there, in RAM
[04:28] <ActionParsnip> rubst3r: The installer can resize your NTFS, If you use Win7 it can resize it's own NTFS partition and leave free space too
[04:28] <ActionParsnip> rubst3r: either way ensure your backups are up to date in case of catastrophe
[04:28] <anonionchan> Hi can anyone help me on how to use xchat through proxy(tor) or point me to an article.
[04:29] <ActionParsnip> anonionchan: have you not found one online?
[04:29] <urlin2u> IsmAvatar, I'm just guessing here.
[04:30] <anonionchan> i've actually been looking but I may just be blind as hell -_-
[04:30] <urlin2u> never used orca IsmAvatar
[04:30] <ActionParsnip> IsmAvatar: then the commands on that page I gave will work
[04:30] <zulfan> so i dont need use gmount use another software wright? awesoome why i dont think about this iḿ really dunno
[04:30] <zulfan> this my first time use ubuntu
[04:30] <ActionParsnip> zulfan: you can do it in command line if you want, it's not hard
[04:30] <urlin2u> ActionParsnip, thats what I thought since it is lucid just waited for your answer. :)
[04:30] <zulfan> ok
[04:31] <IsmAvatar> urlin2u: not saying you're wrong, either. I'm seeing some pages saying that the default *is* orca. I was just comparing it against screenshots - but they might have changed the look.
[04:31] <zulfan> but what is python function?
[04:31] <ActionParsnip> zulfan: sudo mkdir /media/iso; sudo mount -o loop /path/to/filename.iso /media/iso
[04:31] <urlin2u> IsmAvatar, check ActionParsnip's post.
[04:31] <ActionParsnip> zulfan: python is a great programming language
[04:31] <IsmAvatar> ActionParsnip: not sure if that's gonna work, because I thought gdm was replaced by lightdm
[04:31] <ActionParsnip> IsmAvatar: not in Lucid afaik
[04:32] <IsmAvatar> shoot, what version am I running, lol
[04:32] <zulfan> ok actionparsnip
[04:32] <zulfan> how to fix python-central?
[04:33] <anonionchan> Im going to try something Im out
[04:33] <ActionParsnip> is this dragons den?
[04:34] <zykotick9> IsmAvatar: "lsb_release -a" in a terminal will show your ubuntu version info
[04:34] <IsmAvatar> ActionParsnip, urlin2u: I'm sorry, I didn't mean 10.04. That was stupid of me. I'm using 11.10. (thanks zykotick9)
[04:35] <ActionParsnip> IsmAvatar: big difference dude :)
[04:35] <bootris> quakersmakes me laugh
[04:35] <IsmAvatar> yeah, I know
[04:35] <IsmAvatar> sometimes I think the year is still 1998, too.
[04:35] <IsmAvatar> :-p
[04:35] <urlin2u> IsmAvatar, dconf is accesed with advanced settings
[04:36] <urlin2u> in the dash
[04:36] <ActionParsnip> IsmAvatar: look for similar config in dconf-editor is all I can suggest
[04:36] <IsmAvatar> urlin2u: nothing named "adva..." in the dash
[04:36] <ActionParsnip> IsmAvatar: install dconf-editor
[04:36] <urlin2u> IsmAvatar, I'm wrong there ia better just shut up. :)

[04:39] <ActionParsnip> nobody got the dragons den joke, or did it just suck...
[04:40] <urlin2u> So I have loss the search in unity dash 11.10 and the alt-f2 function yipee any fixes.
[04:40] <urlin2u> alt-f2 search that is
[04:40] <IsmAvatar> not familiar with that, sorry. Anyways, not seeing any kind of /desktop/gnome/applications/at/screen_keyboard_enabled or anything for lightdm.
[04:41] <EvilResistance> zulfan, i'd file a bug against the package, that seems to suggest there's an error in its config scripts
[04:41] <EvilResistance> unless actionparsnip has already helped you deal with it
[04:41] <IsmAvatar> I see a /desktop/gnome, but all it's got inside is crypto and remote-access. There's also an org/gnome/desktop/applications, but it's only got office and terminal
[04:41] <zulfan> use another software
[04:42] <bootris> Can anyone please help me with this, because I'm stuck and can't seem to find any info on this on google.. or not using right keywords
[04:42] <zulfan> but when iḿ try to reinstalling python-central always show error msg
[04:42] <emillime> i missed the joke
[04:43] <Mavrick95> i was having trouble with the "black screen at boot" issue, but i managed to get to desktop and remove fglrx and xorg entirely. but now when i reboot the screen freezes! can anybody please help? may it be because the xorg.conf file is still there?
[04:43] <ActionParsnip> IsmAvatar: its not in lightdm, its in dconf-editor
[04:43] <ActionParsnip> IsmAvatar: sniff around in the settings, you may find something
[04:43] <IsmAvatar> ActionParsnip: yeah, I'm in dconf-editor
[04:44] <IsmAvatar> I found an /apps/onboard
[04:44] <bootris> its not in lightdm, its in dconf-editor.. sniff around in the settings, you may find something

[04:45] <bootris> i have 5 broken virus infested comps at my exgfs house
[04:45] <EvilResistance> zulfan, as i said, file a bug against the package, as it seems the package has some configuration issues.  i'm not entirely sure how to fix your issue, unfortunately
[04:45] <kopilo> zerothis - depends on your audio stack, with pulseaudio you could define all your other devices as null or something
[04:46] <vindav> how does one activate the sound in Ubuntu 11.10 (Unity) when it's not muted, the volume is up, and Rhythmbox is effectively playing mp3 tracks ?
[04:46] <Mavrick95> ayone here had experienced "frozen screen at startup" issue?
[04:46] <bootris> .. buhman there is theory behind psilocybin too, also, there were updates to vlc lately which included changes I proposed, but I've studied French, German and Spanish yet?..
[04:46] <zulfan> oh i see i didnt see what the issue about python should i remove that
[04:46] <bobenhaus> does anyone know if firefox 11 is full production or beta for ubuntu/linux?
[04:46] <emillime> 11?
[04:46] <bobenhaus> yeah 11
[04:46] <ActionParsnip> zerothis: set the bluetooth device as the default sound device in sound prefs
[04:47] <vindav> bobenhaus:  FF11 is beta for Ubuntu Linux.
[04:47] <bobenhaus> ahh ok.
[04:47] <emillime> i have the nightly
[04:47] <kopilo> they changed their release protocol because they felt inept having firefox 4
[04:47] <bobenhaus> emillime: do you know the repo for ff11 nightly?
[04:47] <emillime> wait one
[04:47] <vindav> bobenhaus:  if you are running 64 bit, do not use FF11 as it will crash alot.
[04:47] <bobenhaus> vindav: I'm using 32x
[04:48] <ActionParsnip> vindav: i thought that was a 'feature' in firefox all versions. hahahahha
[04:48] <zerothis> kopilo: i am using puselaudio, not sure how  to null as you suggest
[04:48] <bobenhaus> !firefox 11
[04:48] <bobenhaus> 1firefox11
[04:48] <emillime> http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa/ubuntu
[04:48] <bobenhaus> thanks
[04:48] <vindav> bobenhaus:  What O/S are you using on your 32 bit system where you want to or are running FF11 ?
[04:48] <EvilResistance> !firefox | bobenhaus
[04:48] <kopilo> zerothis are you using pavucontrols?
[04:49] <bobenhaus> vindav:   ubuntu32 11.10
[04:49] <Mavrick95> can someone here support me on the frozen screen issue?
[04:49] <vindav> ikonia:   How does one activate the sound in Ubuntu 11.10 (Unity) when it's not muted, the volume is up, and Rhythmbox is effectively playing mp3 tracks ?
[04:49] <emillime> ive only used it twice
[04:49] <ActionParsnip> Mavrick95: if you press CTRL+ALT+F1 can you use CLI there?
[04:49] <zerothis> ActionParsnip: is there a command line to launch that?
[04:49] <bobenhaus> emillime: thanks
[04:49] <emillime> np
[04:49] <ActionParsnip> zerothis: launch what?
[04:49] <bootris> irc protocol only handles so much stuff..
[04:49] <vindav> bobenhaus:  I know this that FF10 works great in Ubuntu 11.10
[04:49] <emillime> yea 10
[04:50] <emillime> is all you need
[04:50] <emillime> 11 i havent used much
[04:50] <ActionParsnip> chromium daily build ftw :)
[04:50] <emillime> fast enough and has what i need
[04:50] <vindav> bobenhaus:  also, FF11 works great in a 32bit platform as well
[04:50] <bootris> moment
[04:50] <emillime> would you suggest chrome over ff
[04:51] <emillime> Ive never tried chrome
[04:51] <ActionParsnip> chromium, not chrome
[04:51] <zerothis> pavucontrol shows only single device, not my headset
[04:52] <bootris> it would be easy for me to die from a seizure or heart attack on a small amount of cocaine or methamphetamine
[04:52] <vindav> bobenhaus:  Do you have sound working for your audio applications in Ubuntu 11.10 ?
[04:52] <urlin2u> hmm a restart of ldm fixed the missing dash search
[04:52] <zerothis> ActionParsnip: launch prefs
[04:52] <zulfan> thx for help me
[04:52] <zulfan> gtg
[04:52] <zulfan> bye all
[04:52] <ActionParsnip> zerothis: for sound you mean?
[04:52] <kopilo> zerothis then you are having the same issues I am having with bluetooth sound :(
[04:53] <kopilo> sorry don't know how to fix yet
[04:53] <bootris> in a sick way made me perogies they are good..
[04:53] <emillime> no chrome
[04:53] <vindav> ActionParsnip:  hi there...we were speaking last night.  Would you know how one does activate the sound in Ubuntu 11.10 (Unity) when it's not muted, the volume is up, and Rhythmbox is effectively playing mp3 tracks ?
[04:53] <chrisy__> hi, if i dl a tar.gz unpack it and then run a utility from the command line which can then delete itself but still leaves some dirs etc behind how can i remove them or is this normal?
[04:53] <ActionParsnip> vindav: are speaker on?
[04:54] <bootris> and kinda strange to "malloc"? 1024M to genarate an ssl certificate?. why oversell? O_o
[04:54] <vindav> ActionParsnip:  yes
[04:54] <Mavrick95> ActionParsnip: yes, i get to tty1
[04:54] <bobenhaus> vindav: yuppers
[04:54] <bobenhaus> anyone know the ppa for ff11 ?
[04:54] <emillime> http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa/ubuntu
[04:54] <ActionParsnip> Mavrick95: ok then run:   dmesg      and read the last few lines
[04:54] <vindav> bobenhaus:  was that a eureka moment ?
[04:54] <Mavrick95> but i doesnt let me delete the xorg.conf (it says "directory or file not found")
[04:54] <ActionParsnip> bobenhaus: I know of it, yes
[04:55] <bootris> .. once opend, they have threatened me but shesaysi have to sleep i think my viruses are gone but my thing is smoking cannabis.. i guess i shouldnt do uppers..
[04:55] <bobenhaus> vindav:  what do you mean?
[04:55] <ActionParsnip> bobenhaus: do you want it?
[04:55] <bobenhaus> actionparsnip:  Sure
[04:55] <vindav> bobenhaus:  what does yuppers mean ?
[04:55] <bootris> gnomes could crawl inside her..
[04:55] <bootris> blacks probobly drink the lemonadeand eat the rich and famous?..
[04:55] <bobenhaus> vindav: Yes I have sound with my ubuntu 32x :)
[04:55] <EvilResistance> bootris, do you have a support question?
[04:55] <IsmAvatar> ActionParsnip: here's what I'm seeing in deconf-editor: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9975312/dconf-editor.png
[04:56] <bootris> it.. and smoked through a shit about ui tho..
[04:56] <ActionParsnip> bobenhaus: http://news.softpedia.com/news/Download-Firefox-10-Alpha-for-Ubuntu-11-10-235054.shtml
[04:56] <vindav> bobenhaus:  how did you get sound to work for you in Ubuntu 11.10 ?
[04:56] <bobenhaus> thanks
[04:56] <IsmAvatar> closest thing seems to be /apps/onboard, which has a lot of settings, but not really seeing any for enable-at-login
[04:56] <ActionParsnip> IsmAvatar: ok, look elsewhere
[04:56] <bobenhaus> vindav:  installation detected and found my hardware without any problems
[04:56] <bootris> for kids or mixing with vodka it gnomie to sessi it up.. and fall..
[04:56] <staniki> hi guys, literally just finished a fresh install of ubuntu 11.10 but my resolution is unbelievably low, I only have two options: 1024x768 and 800x600 please help
[04:56] <bootris> don't care which way they could use to try my sex drive has always been nice to me.. ty..
[04:56] <EvilResistance> !ops | bootris
[04:56] <bootris> im ignoring bootris lol.. bootris loves me.. its ok tho
[04:56] <bootris> lord i really like astronomy either and i dont knowflamoot..
[04:57] <bobenhaus> acionparnsip:  thanks
[04:57] <vindav> bobenhaus:  we'll, I only got sound when I log in.
[04:57] <bobenhaus> Vindav: I get sound when logging in and also playing music, etc...
[04:58] <vindav> bobenhaus:  what is your audio output set at in terms of hard ware ?
[04:58] <staniki> think i have a graphics problem only two resolutions available on a fresh install, can anyone help?
[04:58] <bobenhaus> let me check
[04:58] <EvilResistance> pangolin, thanks
[04:58] <zerothis> idea: is it my bt set even working, how can i test?
[04:58] <Mavrick95> ActionParsnip: the last line reads "[    18.70183] init: plymouth stop pre-start process (357) terminated with status 1"
[04:59] <ActionParsnip> Mavrick95: ok have a see what that means
[04:59] <Mavrick95> ActionParsnip: another line reads "kvm disabled in BIOS". is this relevant?
[04:59] <dicannamas> couuld someone tell me why i cant click on adobe flash player setting in my browser?
[04:59] <ActionParsnip> Mavrick95: you may also want to run:  cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[05:00] <bobenhaus> vindav: hardware is set to audio stereo duplex
[05:00] <bobenhaus> output is set to analog output
[05:00] <bobenhaus> thats about it
[05:01] <mister2> if i had a folder, or folder tree of videos and wanted to watch a random one, what would be a nice simple way to do that with vlc?
[05:01] <brianwang> Anyone who know the friefox crash log path? my firefox always crash........damn it.
[05:01] <SEWilliam> zune
[05:01] <ActionParsnip> dicannamas: can you give a pastebin of:  lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'   thanks
[05:02] <ActionParsnip> brianwang: same with a fresh user (or profile if you rename ~/.mozilla/firefox) same deal
[05:02] <Mavrick95> ActionParsnip: fyi, this issue is happening after i removed completely trhough synaptic the fglrx and xorg-amd-ati, but i failed to delete the /etc/x11/xorg.conf file. I am suspicious that this is the main problem, ubuntu trying to load the xorg configuration, but it actually does not have the fglrx drivers because i removed them! what do you think?
[05:02] <ActionParsnip> Mavrick95: I see, the Xorg.0.log file will show you what happened when the X server was created
[05:03] <brianwang> ActionParsnip,  thank you. I will try.
[05:05] <mister2> if i had a folder, or folder tree of videos and wanted to watch a random one, what would be a nice simple way to do that with vlc?
[05:06] <agentgasmask> Hi all. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS x64bit and am trying to get dtmfdial working. I point it at /dev/dsp1 and get "device busy" error. How can I make this play nice with pulseaudio?
[05:07] <vindav> bobenhaus:  Thank you for telling me what you have set for your self in terms of the output sound settings.  I set mine for that and I get sound now.  Ubuntu 11.10 must have the the external sound jack unplugged compared with say Ubuntu 10.04 LTS where you don't need to.
[05:09] <Mavrick95> ActionParsnip: thank you very much. now i can see in the log file lines that read "failed to load module "fglrx" (module does not exist, 0)" and "fatal server error: no screen found".
[05:10] <bobenhaus> vindav: no problema.
[05:10] <Mikee73> Hello everyone, have problem with virtualbox and spent already 2 days solving it withourt resolution...
[05:10] <EvilResistance> Mikee73, elaboration helps :P
[05:10] <bobenhaus> anyone know how to refresh all the default ppa's for the software center?
[05:11] <EvilResistance> bobenhaus, apt-get update
[05:11] <EvilResistance> in terminal
[05:11] <EvilResistance> or just the 'update' button in software center... but since i dont use software center... :P
[05:11] <bobenhaus> evil: will that put back any deleted ones as well?
[05:11] <arkaniad> Hey, server nuts, postfix issue: SASLAUTHD isn't working properly, log: http://pastie.org/private/wxmkz9yekiaryw5lpzzqqw
[05:11] <Mikee73> After enabling 3D suppoort in virtualbox and installing gues addons, my 3D performance actually drops down in Ubuntu 10...
[05:13] <EvilResistance> bobenhaus, if you deleted ppas, they're likely not in your apt sources anymore,  so you might have to readd them
[05:13] <Mikee73> but if I go to software rasterizer, it goes up.... Not sure how to explain that... I m using power hungry video app and really need HARDWARE 3d rendering...
[05:13] <bobenhaus> evil: ok thanks
[05:15] <Mavrick95> ActionParsnip: do you agree that if i can get to remove the xorg.conf file i will be all right?
[05:15] <Mavrick95> the thing is that the teremninal doesnt let me...
[05:16] <zykotick9> Mavrick95: "cd /etc/X11" then "sudo mv xorg.conf xorg.conf.disabled"
[05:17] <zykotick9> bobenhaus: just want to point out that "default ppa's" doesn't make sense, PPAs are 3rd party repositories that you add to ubuntu
[05:18] <zykotick9> Mikee73: vbox doesn't have any hardware acceleration, the 3d is software (you don't get direct hardware access from a VM)
[05:18] <zykotick9> Mikee73: prior to enabling 3d in the VM, you where using 2d, which can be faster for some things
[05:18] <blaine_> hello
[05:19] <zerothis> hi
[05:19] <Mikee73> are you sure? I though that I could still get access to real hardaware 3d, even in virtual box...
[05:20] <zykotick9> Mikee73: not in VBox, you're using a vbox video driver, not the actual cards video driver
[05:20] <Mikee73> if you're right that maybe this explains my problem. Hwever: if I run glxinfo, I see "chropmium" as the video card rasterizer rather than software
[05:20] <zykotick9> Mikee73: you can't use ATI/Nvidia/anyother driver inside Vbox
[05:21] <ActionParsnip> Mavrick95: as long as udev doen't try to load the module
[05:21] <ActionParsnip> Mavrick95: you could blacklist the module too
[05:21] <MartyMacFly> anyone know the official release date of ubuntu 12.04
[05:21] <zykotick9> MartyMacFly: i could tell you the year and month :p
[05:22] <Mikee73> I see. But I still have two options" use Chromium rendering or software rasterizer. Wouldnt it make more sense that Chromium (i.e. hardware ?) would be fatsre than software rasterizer?? But I get only 60 (!) FPS with Chromium and 350 FPS with software rasterizer.. Strange//
[05:22] <MartyMacFly> LOL... I think it's some time in april..?
[05:22] <ActionParsnip> Mikee73: I suggest you use something like LXDE or XFCE in virtualbox, it will make the virtual system impact less on the host
[05:22] <zykotick9> Mikee73: 3d has a lot more overhead when your software emulating it
[05:22] <Mikee73> ActionParsnip: I actually dont see much load on my host...
[05:24] <Mikee73> zykotick9: so you suggest I should stay with software rasterizer rather than trying to tamper with Chromium?
[05:24] <zykotick9> Mikee73: not if you need 3d
[05:25] <ActionParsnip> Mikee73: what is the purpose of the VM?
[05:25] <Mikee73> zykotick9: yes, I need 3d but with "hardware" 3d (i.e. chroimium, even though I have Nviida) i get lower FPS rate than with software rasterizer
[05:25] <zykotick9> Mikee73: 3d is NOT hardware!
[05:27] <ActionParsnip>  Mikee73: what is the purpose of the VM?
[05:27] <ImTheDude> hello
[05:27] <Mikee73> zykotick9: I see, didnt know that... So the bottom line is: what is the optimum setting for my Ubuntu... Now I have software rasterization and get 350 FPS
[05:27] <ActionParsnip> ImTheDude: hi
[05:27] <Anthony> can anyone help me with grub rescue error
[05:27] <ActionParsnip> Anthony: I'd suggest booting to liveCD, chroot and fix there
[05:28] <ImTheDude> anthony you tryed a duel install of ubuntu
[05:28] <zykotick9> Mikee73: software will probably going to be faster then the "software emulated 3d"
[05:28] <zykotick9> is*
[05:28] <Mikee73> ActionParsnip: I have Win7 with a lot of stuff and need to run sophisticated imaging software that runs under linux. Cannot afford partition or new comp...
[05:28] <Anthony> i dont have windows installed
[05:28] <Anthony> chroot is name of live cd
[05:29] <ActionParsnip> Anthony: chroot is a command on the ubuntu livecd
[05:29] <ActionParsnip> Mikee73: i'm guessing its 3D software
[05:30] <Anthony> i jsut type it in the cmd box or in the erro propmt
[05:30] <ActionParsnip> Anthony: its not a case of just typing the command
[05:30] <zykotick9> !grub2 | Anthony
[05:30] <Anthony> then can you tell me how to do it pleasdwe
[05:30] <Mikee73> ActionParsnip: it runs faster when using 3d, if I have it disabled it gives me "OpenGL error: no pincher..." and runs slower
[05:30] <ActionParsnip> Anthony: I suggest you research, rather than try and guess. You will be less likely to do more damage
[05:31] <Mikee73> ActionParsnip: Im not sure Im using right terms, maybe I'm confusing 3D with OpenGL
[05:32] <ActionParsnip> Mikee73: I'd say maybe, try it is all I can say (if you haven't already)
[05:32] <Anthony> whaty do i look up
[05:32] <ActionParsnip> Mikee73: you do realise that ubuntu uses very little drive space
[05:33] <amit> hii
[05:33] <ActionParsnip> Anthony: I'll find it for you. It will be less frustrating for everyone. Websearching: ubuntu chroot   is clearly a challenge
[05:33] <Mikee73> ActionParsnip: yes, so you sugggest installing a partition ? But then I will not be able to simultaneously run Ubuntu and Windows
[05:33] <ActionParsnip> Anthony: www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/09/live-usb-sticking-grub-2-video/
[05:34] <ActionParsnip> Mikee73: a dual boot will give the resources you are running windows with, to ubuntu as well as native hardware access
[05:34] <Guest69288> I cant open some apps from dash after I install unity 5 in Ubuntu 11.10.. using ppa:unity-team/staging
[05:34] <ActionParsnip> Guest69288: contact the ppa maintainer
[05:36] <Guest69288> ActionParsnip, I removed the ppa using ppa-purge... still not working
[05:37] <ActionParsnip> Guest69288: then I suggest you run:  unity --reset   to get default settings
[05:37] <ActionParsnip> Guest69288: you may want to reinstall unity to make sure you are using the official package and its configs
[05:38] <joallard_> What is a good IRC client for ubuntu?
[05:38] <ActionParsnip> joallard_: irssi, pidgin, empathy, xchat, weechat, kopete
[05:38] <ActionParsnip> joallard_: all are great
[05:38] <joallard_> ActionParsnip, what's "the best"
[05:38] <zykotick9> !best | joallard_
[05:39] <joallard_> I'm using xchat right now, but it's pretty buggy
[05:39] <joallard_> Hence the quotes
[05:39] <Mikee73> allright guys, going to sleep, thx
[05:39] <zykotick9> joallard_: ask 50 people, get 50 different answers, it's a useless question
[05:39] <ActionParsnip> joallard_: there is no single best app for anything
[05:39] <joallard_> Let me reask that
[05:39] <ActionParsnip> joallard_: its like asking "What is the best colour?"
[05:40] <joallard_> I don't think so
[05:40] <joallard_> I am experiencing frustration right now
[05:40] <ActionParsnip> joallard_: it is, because none are best. ALl you will get are people's opinions
[05:41] <graft> ubottu, that kind of moral relativism will not stand!
[05:41] <joallard_> Some are better for some people, right?
[05:41] <graft> ubottu: with opinions like that, you're not
[05:41] <ActionParsnip> joallard_: if one app was best above all others then nobody would use anything else would they
[05:41] <ActionParsnip> joallard_: the other apps would die out
[05:41] <joallard_> People could be "wrong"
[05:41] <graft> ActionParsnip: what is this, natural selection?
[05:42] <ActionParsnip> joallard_: all the irc clients are simulataneously the best and worst at the same time
[05:42] <joallard_> Okay, pass.
[05:42] <joallard_> How do I debug xchat?
[05:42] <graft> what's the bug?
[05:42] <ActionParsnip> joallard_: try it, if you like it, use it. If not, try another until you find something you like
[05:42] <joallard_> Segmentation fault
[05:42] <joallard_> Crash
[05:42] <graft> that's a pretty bad one... from the repository?
[05:43] <joallard_> Yes.
[05:43] <graft> well, (1) use something else, or (2) see if you can find a different version of xchat
[05:43] <ActionParsnip> joallard_: you are using an OS which triumphs on freedom and choice, yet you seem to want a room of complete strangers to TELL you what to think and use? smells like microsoft to me..
[05:43] <joallard_> I'm used to seeing *a lot* of bugs in my ubuntu experience. *frustration*
[05:43] <superdave321> ActionParsnip: you remember how I was having that problem with transmission crashing everything? i tried that on another computer, and it worked fine.
[05:43] <joallard_> "<joallard_> Okay, pass."
[05:44] <ActionParsnip> superdave321: that will have different config to the one you are on now, and maybe a different version of the app. Hence why I recommended makeing a new user
[05:44] <Mavrick95> ActionParsnip: do you think that blacklisting the xorg file might work?
[05:44] <ActionParsnip> joallard_: I use irssi and pidgin
[05:44] <graft> joallard_: try pidgin or irssi, they're both great
[05:44] <joallard_> Thank you, but how do I debug xchat?
[05:44] <ActionParsnip> Mavrick95: you'd blacklist the frglrx module so it won't be loaded
[05:44] <graft> joallard_: maybe you can run it through gdb, but if it's just seg faulting i would try compiling it yourself or downloading a different version of it
[05:45] <superdave321> ActionParsnip: so how can I get this one working? I'd rather keep it to one user...
[05:45] <joallard_> I don't have the debugging symbols for it. How do I get them?
[05:45] <graft> joallard_: you build it yourself
[05:45] <joallard_> The symbols will automatically be there?
[05:45] <graft> joallard_: if you include them when you build it, yes
[05:46] <joallard_> Then how do I do that?
[05:46] <graft> joallard_: why do you want to go to this much trouble to fix xchat?
[05:46] <graft> joallard_: wouldn't it be easier to use irssi or pidgin?
[05:46] <ActionParsnip> superdave321: its just to test, thats all
[05:46] <joallard_> That's until I find another bug in another program
[05:46] <joallard_> Bugs ought to be fixed
[05:47] <ActionParsnip> joallard_: war ought not to happen
[05:47] <jag> hi
[05:47] <joallard_> There is an outrageous number of bugs in ubuntu
[05:47] <superdave321> ActionParsnip: Ahh. ok. so where should I start for troubleshooting the problem setting(s)?
[05:47] <zykotick9> joallard_: ubuntu is not about stability
[05:47] <joallard_> ActionParsnip: so we shall encourage it and not try to stop it, right?
[05:47] <ActionParsnip> joallard_: same as in windows, as the song goes "every OS sucks"
[05:47] <ActionParsnip> joallard_: indeed and there are bug fixes and so forth solving them
[05:47] <jag> cant seem to get xrandr to work with .xsessionrc.. it looks like it calls, but reverts once desktop fully loaded -- (the xrandr command works manually in xterm). Any geniuses?
[05:48] <graft> joallard_: which distribution are you using?
[05:48] <joallard_> Oneiric
[05:48] <graft> joallard_: and what version of xchat?
[05:48] <joallard_> 0.30
[05:48] <Mavrick95> ActionParsnip: but the fglrx is already removed from the system, does it matter if i black list it?
[05:48] <graft> joallard_: where did you get xchat version 0.30?
[05:48] <zykotick9> !info xchat
[05:48] <joallard_> ActionParsnip: well, I have not seen important bugs in Windows as the ones I have seen in Ubuntu
[05:48] <joallard_> graft: already packaged from the repos
[05:49] <graft> joallard_: no, the version in the repository is 2.8.8
[05:49] <jag> so what do i use instead of .xsessionrc << is this supported in oneiric ?
[05:49] <ActionParsnip> joallard_: exactly, the ubuntu ones are just more visible. That's all
[05:49] <Vexiant> Yo, if I do a Disk Encryption, I will still be able to access folders and what-not, yes?
[05:49] <ActionParsnip> joallard_: could try xchat-gnome
[05:49] <joallard_> I meant xchat-gnome
[05:49] <ActionParsnip> joallard_: then try xchat
[05:49] <graft> xchat seems to work just fine
[05:50] <joallard_> ActionParsnip: Nope. For example, in ubuntu, sometimes unity/X will crash on suspend/resume. Never seen that kind of important bug in Windows.
[05:50] <ActionParsnip> joallard_: or maybe if you rename the xchat config folder, so a new one can be made, it will behave. Kill xchat off, first :)
[05:50] <jag> any gurus ?
[05:50] <joallard_> ActionParsnip: Even with the bug filed, nothing gets done
[05:50] <Vexiant> Yo, if I do a Disk Encryption, I will still be able to access folders and what-not, yes?
[05:50] <szal> !repeat | Vexiant
[05:50] <ActionParsnip> joallard_: try uninstalling an application in safe mode in Windows vista
[05:50] <urlin2u> Vexiant, how do you plan to encrypt? yes from the running OS only.
[05:50] <joallard_> ActionParsnip: Vista is not the latest version. 7 is.
[05:50] <ActionParsnip> joallard_: it can't be dnoe without some clever registry hacking
[05:50] <syddraf> I have an ubuntu install on partition /dev/sdb2 that is finally configured just the way I want it. Is it possible to wholesale copy it over to /dev/sdc2?
[05:50] <Vexiant> What exactly is the point of it and what does it do?
[05:51] <jag> Vexiant, and of course from rescue too.. but u may have to type commands and stuff
[05:51] <ActionParsnip> joallard_: its still supported an updates are made for it
[05:51] <Vexiant> ok, thanks
[05:51] <ActionParsnip> joallard_: if you call microsoft with an issue in Vista, they will support you
[05:51] <joallard_> ActionParsnip: It's not that I don't like Ubuntu; I love the Linux mentality and everything. But damn the bugs are hard to stomach
[05:51] <urlin2u> Vexiant, or from a encrypted hd if you open it, your question is really lacking details.
[05:51] <jag> Vexiant, if someone steals your computer, they won't be able to see what's on it
[05:51] <joallard_> ActionParsnip: If you call Canonical with an issue in Oneiric, they won't
[05:51] <ActionParsnip> joallard_: try the config folder rename as I suggested
[05:51] <dddd> Hi, how do i install windows wireless adapter on 11.10?
[05:52] <ActionParsnip> joallard_: I'm simply stating that Windows has its share of stupid bugs
[05:52] <ActionParsnip> dddd: never heard of one of those, You sure its not just a regualt adapter..?
[05:52] <joallard_> ActionParsnip: And I'm simply stating that they're not as annoying and as crippling as Ubuntu's
[05:52] <ActionParsnip> joallard_: remember blaster?
[05:52] <urlin2u> dddd, there is a wiki on usb wireless and ones known to work.
[05:52] <ActionParsnip> joallard_: and ALL the systems it nuked
[05:52] <joallard_> And that I feel an awful lot of frustration because of them, in comparison to Windows
[05:53] <ActionParsnip> joallard_: have you done as I suggested yet? Renaming the xchat config folder after closing the app?
[05:53] <joallard_> you mean ~/.config ?
[05:53] <graft> the only thing i ever have a problem with on ubuntu is suspend/resume
[05:53] <graft> networking stuff is way better
[05:53] <dddd> i have a dlink adapter
[05:53] <joallard_> uhhh
[05:54] <urlin2u> !wireless > dddd
[05:54] <ActionParsnip> dddd: thats not a 'windows wireless adapter' then, is it
[05:54] <rigved> syddraf: there are many tools available. check out GParted Live, which already has these tools.
[05:54] <flamoot> yes
[05:54] <jag> !wifi
[05:54] <flamoot> sandaili im sessier than bootris and your nasa fiance let me sleep in your parking lot
[05:54] <dddd> its for windows
[05:54] <joallard_> ActionParsnip: is it ~/.xchat2 ?
[05:55] <syddraf> rigved: You, sir, are awesome. Thank you. It takes me forever to configure Linux systems to my liking. I hate having to redo it.
[05:55] <flamoot> whoops
[05:55] <ActionParsnip> joallard_: sounds sensible, yes. Kill the app, rename that (check in ~/.config too) then rerun
[05:55] <joallard_> brb
[05:55] <urlin2u> dddd, it said for windows on the package right?
[05:55] <superdave321> dddd: well, with a third party piece of hardware, most of the time other systems can use it one way or another...
[05:56] <Mavrick95> how do i blacklist fglrx while in tty?
[05:57] <ActionParsnip> Mavrick95: echo "blacklist fglrx" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf > /dev/null
[05:57] <Mavrick95> ActionParsnip: thanks, i'll try
[05:57] <Mavrick95> ActionParsnip: if anything happens i come back
[05:58] <superdave321> dddd: what is the model number of your hardware?
[05:59] <dddd> i have a dlink wua 2340
[06:00] <ActionParsnip> dddd: how does it connect to the system?
[06:00] <dddd> usb
[06:00] <ActionParsnip> dddd: run:  lsusb   it will give an 8 character hex ID. You can use that to find guides
[06:00] <Mavrick95> ActionParsnip: iev/null: file or directory not found. what do i do?
[06:01] <ActionParsnip> Mavrick95: /dev/null   dude, read my command
[06:01] <dddd> do i have to install ndiswrapper?
[06:01] <ActionParsnip> Mavrick95: if you run:  cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf    do you see the line: blacklistfglrx
[06:01] <Mavrick95> ActionParsnip: i am starting to be extremely disappointed at ubuntu OS, i am at the console but i can't do much
[06:01] <ActionParsnip> dddd: you may not need it
[06:02] <Mavrick95> c/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
[06:02] <flamoot>  i'll try.. if anything happens i come back
[06:02] <superdave321> ActionParsnip, dddd needs it. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/D-Link_WUA-2340
[06:03] <ActionParsnip> Mavrick95: what is in the blacklist file?
[06:03] <ActionParsnip> superdave321: yeah, a lot of dlink and netgear stuff does
[06:03] <joallard> ActionParsnip: no difference.
[06:03] <ActionParsnip> joallard: report a bug is all I can suggest
[06:03] <joallard> And now they are going to ask me for some more information
[06:04] <zykotick9> joallard: are you still trying to use xchat-gnome?  if so, try the real xchat
[06:04] <phy1729> Is there an easy way to test if rp_filter is working?
[06:04] <joallard> It's that or they're going to ignore me -- experience from ubuntu speaking
[06:04] <joallard> So now
[06:04] <joallard> How do I debug xchat-gnome
[06:05] <superdave321> dddd: you will need ndiswrapper. Here's some instructions for easy installation: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper
[06:05] <joallard> I mean, how do I compile it with debug symbols
[06:05] <flamoot> its for windows
[06:05] <Mavrick95> ActionParsnip: i can see that it blacklisted a lot of drivers, but not the "fglrx".
[06:06] <Mavrick95> ActionParsnip: i think that if, from tty1, i could add a line "blacklist fglrx" to the end of that file i would be allright, but the program doesn't let me
[06:07] <dddd> dave, i followed the instructions a few days ago, but it gave errors when installing
[06:08] <Mavrick95> ActionParsnip: do you know any applicable commands, or i will have to try to get to the desktop anyway to edit the file?
[06:08] <superdave321> dddd: ahh. ok. Try these instructions then: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/D-Link_WUA-2340
[06:08] <flamoot> rofl.. polish rap
[06:08] <superdave321> dddd: also, use the whole username, or else I might not think it's for me...
[06:09] <ActionParsnip> Mavrick95: if its been a while, I'd start considering a clean install
[06:09] <zykotick9> Mavrick95: "sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf" should allow you to edit it from TTY
[06:10] <itsadante> is this the ubuntu help channel?
[06:10] <superdave321> itsadante: sure is!
[06:10] <dddd> superdave321: i will try to install again tomorrow. thanks
[06:10] <Guest2510> hi ubuntu folks :) could anyone help me on how to upgrade apache to 2.2.22 on ubuntu 10.4 server?
[06:10] <superdave321> dddd: You're welcome
[06:11] <jiltdil> I want to send a movie of 450mb via gmail  please tell me how to send such a big video?
[06:11] <ActionParsnip> !ppa | Guest2510
[06:11] <Mavrick95> zykotick9: i tried, but i can not use sudo because my username is not in the sudoers file :/
[06:11] <Guest2510> it seems that apt-get is getting 2.2.14 as the latest apache version
[06:11] <itsadante> sweet!  i need a bit of help changing the screen resolution via command line
[06:11] <ActionParsnip> jiltdil: could use dropbox or similar, they allow public links
[06:12] <damo22> jiltdil: why not send the other guy a cd
[06:12] <saikat> how to install Intel HD graphics driver in UBUNTU 10.04.3???
[06:12] <jiltdil> damo22, coz it is not possible  i have to send it now :(
[06:12] <jiltdil> ActionParsnip,  ok, i am trying..is there no way to compress it below 25 mb
[06:13] <zykotick9> Mavrick95: if you've broken sudo, you can't make any system changes...  consider reinstall
[06:13] <damo22> jiltdil: i doubt you can compress a 450Mb video into something playable under 25mb
[06:13] <EvilResistance> indeed.
[06:13] <saikat> can anybody tell me how to install Intel Hd graphics in ubuntu 10.04
[06:13] <flamoot>  coz it is not possible i have to send it now :(.. ActionParsnip, ok, i am trying..is there no way to compress it below 25 mb
[06:13] <ActionParsnip> jiltdil: not without killing quality
[06:14] <ActionParsnip> jiltdil: you could upload it to youtube if it isn't too long, then give the link
[06:14] <Mavrick95> zykotick9: considering reinstall. but if i reinstall the OS, will i lose all of my files and preferences?
[06:14] <jiltdil> ActionParsnip,  compressing may some loose quality i know, is bzip2 worthy
[06:14] <itsadante> im trying to get a xubuntu live cd to load up on my new system but i cant read the entire screen.  part of it is off the edge
[06:14] <damo22> jiltdil: you cant work miracles with a compression tool
[06:14] <ActionParsnip> jiltdil: no, as in reduce resolution of the video itself
[06:14] <itsadante> how do i resize the screen in command?
[06:15] <mobhero> hi
[06:15] <flamoot> some people thought they'd attend to a deeper need that night than simple camaraderie
[06:15] <dooglus> I wrote a script open-gpg-file which unencrypts .gpg file and opens them.  how can I associate it with .gpg files in nautilus?
[06:15] <zykotick9> Mavrick95: yes, unless you've backed everything up (you do make backups right?)
[06:15] <jiltdil> ActionParsnip, ok thanks :)
[06:15] <flamoot> bottom of this page fixed it for me.. http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Rxvt-Unicode
[06:15] <jiltdil> damo22,  thanks
[06:15] <root_> test
[06:16] <ActionParsnip> dooglus: you could maybe use it as a nautilus script. It will add an entry to your right click menu
[06:16] <Mavrick95> zykotick9: yes, i do. :-D but my backup was 2 weeks old when my computer crashed, so... i will lose a lot...
[06:16] <ActionParsnip> !test | root_
[06:16] <flamoot> the ZaLGOS codebase has start and end keywords :-)
[06:16] <zykotick9> Mavrick95: there is a lesson to be learned here ;)
[06:16] <mobhero> hi..
[06:16] <Mavrick95> zykotick9: yeah, backup every 24 hours from now on. lol
[06:17] <ActionParsnip> Mavrick95: could boot to liveCD and copy the extra bits over
[06:17] <saikat> pls help me
[06:17] <ActionParsnip> !ask | saikat
[06:17] <dooglus> ActionParsnip: I used to click "Use a custom command" in the associations dialog, but it recently disappeared
[06:17] <ActionParsnip> saikat: does it work ok in Oneiric?
[06:17] <flamoot> its not hard to do sky tek
[06:18] <superdave321> dooglus: you could do a rightclick, open with application... it has an option to always use for file type...
[06:18] <ActionParsnip> flamoot: whom are you talking to?
[06:18] <saikat> no... it does not
[06:18] <Mavrick95> ActionParsnip: i don't have the liveCD (nor any other burned media), i only have a usb stick with Ubuntu 11.10, is that ok?
[06:18] <flamoot> if i put somem full myceliated substrate in a cup how long will it take to fruit.. probably an inch or two layer or fully myceliated substrate with half inch vermiculite

[06:20] <ActionParsnip> Tm_T: I believe it's a bot
[06:20] <superdave321> dooglus: did you try the "open with custom command" expand option?
[06:20] <flamoot> was prob the netsplit.. if we were both here then the other channel on a different network would've died
[06:21] <superdave321> dooglus: just under the application selection...

[06:27] <Endafy> Dropping paid support for Kubuntu is so retarded, I am outraged and am quitting Ubuntu for good. Really dropping KDE is really stupid. Fuck your stupid ass ugly useless UI. I hope all of you drown in your own watery dihereah. From the start it has been about the same color. I have always hated Gnome and if you put half the effort into making KDE do what you expext Gnome to do then you might have had desktop dominence. This is good
[06:27] <Endafy> bye for good, dont care if my IP gets banned, your OS is complete and utter shit. Fuck you developers! Forcing shit is what Microsoft and Apple does, and I hope all of you rot!

[06:33] <mib_tyv> hi, thunderbird is showing under packages that would be removed with apt-get's autoremove. how do i make the system see it as a normal package?
[06:34] <ActionParsnip> mib_tyv: try:  sudo apt-get --reinstall install thunderbird
[06:34] <ActionParsnip> mib_tyv: you removed one of its deps more than likely, so it gets marked for removal
[06:34] <mib_tyv> ActionParsnip: aha, a *reinstall*. let me try that.
[06:36] <mib_tyv> ActionParsnip: I don't know, but a reinstall fixed it. Thanks!
[06:37] <ActionParsnip> mib_tyv: you removed one of the deps. apps must have all mandatory deps for them to not be marked for removeal. You probably just installed 2 packages which squared off the packages
[06:42] <lotuspsychje> whats that package name for extended indicators?
[06:44] <szal> what's "extended indicators"?
[06:46] <lotuspsychje> szal: like battery icon, network, more choices

[07:06] <ActionParsnip> ramsta: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc
[07:06] <brerrabbit> sedeki: positive experience?
[07:06] <ActionParsnip> ramsta: remove the ricotz ppa, its causing the issue
[07:07] <sedeki> brerrabbit, yes it is. running gnome3 on a MSI Wind. some plugins to remove certain panels etc to utilize space better
[07:07] <ramsta> action i will do that now also the output is oineric
[07:07] <saganbyte> ActionParsnip: i m not sure which other clients i can try, i tried xchat, telnet and tried to ping chat.freenode.net but no luck
[07:08] <zykotick9> !bot | superdave321
[07:08] <ramsta> actionparsnip how to i remove that
[07:08] <sedeki> brerrabbit, one of those "ultrabooks" would be really cool.
[07:08] <brerrabbit> sedeki: what speed and ram?
[07:08] <ramsta> im fairly new to ubuntu
[07:08] <sedeki> 1,6 ghz Intel Atom
[07:09] <ActionParsnip> ramsta: you can use ppa-purge with the ppa address you added (command line), or you can use software centre
[07:09] <brerrabbit> cool...those are the exact specs I am thinking about.
[07:09] <sedeki> brerrabbit, um, 1 gb of ram
[07:09] <ramsta> alright
[07:09] <brerrabbit> how long is boot time?
[07:09] <ramsta> i cannot find it in software centre
[07:10] <lotuspsychje> !info kazam
[07:10] <sedeki> brerrabbit, about 10-15 sec. some additional for me since i chose encrypted fs during installation -- don't do that
[07:10] <sedeki> maybe less in fact. at most 6-10 sec before i reach gdm
[07:10] <superdave321> saganbyte: here's some info for irc over telnet: http://oreilly.com/pub/h/1963
[07:11] <ActionParsnip> ramsta: how did you add the ppa?
[07:11] <ramsta> to be honest im not sure
[07:11] <ramsta> i dont remeber adding any ricotz ppa
[07:11] <ActionParsnip> ramsta: if you run:  history | grep ppa     what is output?
[07:11] <ramsta> i know i have installed some other ppas
[07:11] <sedeki> brerrabbit, are you thinking about MSI Wind?
[07:11] <hiexpo> ramsta, it's in software sorces
[07:11] <brerrabbit> sedeki: oh wow....that much faster than my recent homebuild with an i7 and 16 gigs of ram
[07:12] <ramsta> alright ill check software sources
[07:12] <sedeki> brerrabbit, windows machine?
[07:12] <ActionParsnip> brerrabbit: how many i7s?
[07:13] <brerrabbit> sedeki: no with ubuntu....I think there are some driver issues with my motherboard that keeps it slow
[07:13] <ramsta> I  cant find it in software sources, action this is the output     1  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ricotz/testing     3  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/gnome3    31  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/gnome3    59  history | grep ppa
[07:13] <sedeki> ah :/
[07:13] <brerrabbit> sedeki: I'm thinking about the Acer Aspire
[07:13] <ActionParsnip> ramsta: those PPAs will make your system VERY unstable
[07:13] <brerrabbit> same specs as yours
[07:14] <ramsta> so how will i remove them
[07:14] <ramsta> the only thing i really want is gnomeshell lol
[07:14] <ActionParsnip> ramsta: I'd reinstall, the changes they make are hugs and removing them will probably leave your OS in a less than decent state
[07:14] <ActionParsnip> ramsta: if you want gnome3, install oneiric
[07:14] <ramsta> so should i reinstalled and then isntall oneiric
[07:15] <sedeki> brerrabbit, ah ok. welcome to the club, then
[07:15] <brerrabbit> sedeki: I take it you are completely happy with your netbook
[07:15] <sedeki> do you mean linuxwise or in general?
[07:16] <sedeki> physically, it's kinda small to have in the lap. works better on the table
[07:17] <brerrabbit> linux wise...just wondering because of my experience with ubuntu on my super fast machine
[07:17] <sedeki> video works fine (but NOT 1080p), standard xvids 700x400 or whatever are fine
[07:17] <Guest94204> hii.. I cant update my Ubuntu. Getting an error http://pastebin.com/qKr9MnAy   Please check
[07:18] <sedeki> brerrabbit, i'm doing mainly text, like programming and so on. when i do bigger things (big files) i notice that the hdd is relatively small... i wouldn't do gaming
[07:19] <sedeki> although i have gnome3, compiz and that kind of fancy stuff
[07:19] <sedeki> works. not the best but it works.
[07:20] <panax3> howdy
[07:20] <sedeki> brerrabbit, i recommend you to check for linux compatability for your particular model
[07:20] <sedeki> a google search for example
[07:20] <sedeki> it should be ok
[07:21] <brerrabbit> sedeki: you mean the netbook or my homebuild tower
[07:22] <sedeki> netbook... and the homebuild -- obviously something's wrong
[07:22] <jayar> is there someway to monitor bandwidth/file transfers via ssh
[07:22] <brerrabbit> ha
[07:22] <sedeki> big annoyance factor with a slow boot :-P
[07:22] <panax3> i find ubuntu makes it easy to hook up with the big butted hotties
[07:22] <jayar> heh
[07:23] <sedeki> no but working at google does
[07:23] <sedeki> or a million in the bank
[07:23] <superdave321> !offtopic | sedeki panax3
[07:24] <zykotick9> superdave321: !ot is a lot shorter to type then !offtopic
[07:25] <superdave321> zykotick9: Good point. Noted :)
[07:25] <jayar> so monitoring file transfer via ssh? anyone?
[07:26] <lotuspsychje> !info bmon | jayar
[07:26] <panax3> sorry fellers im always a bit offtopic i just spent 35 hrs straight learning backtrack 5 wow what a rush
[07:26] <zykotick9> jayar: slurm is a terminal realtime bandwidth monitor i use

[07:26] <jayar> i'll check slurm too
[07:26] <lotuspsychje> !info etherape | jayar
[07:30] <zykotick9> jayar: slrum was a terminal bandwidth monitor i used, before i just tried bmon ;)  (slurm is colour though)
[07:30] <panax3> man i love me some Wget
[07:31] <zykotick9> lotuspsychje: thanks for bmon
[07:31] <lotuspsychje> zykotick9: nice hint tnx
[07:32] <lotuspsychje> zykotick9: you might like colortail too
[07:33] <zykotick9> lotuspsychje: i haven't found a reason for colortail/multitail yet...
[07:33] <panax3> what colortail do?
[07:33] <lotuspsychje> zykotick9: i was looking for some handy realtime logs monitor, so someone suggested me colortail
[07:34] <lotuspsychje> panax3: it tails txt for you in realtime, but in colours
[07:35] <zykotick9> lotuspsychje: multitail is similar to screen (in some ways) and supports monitoring multiple files obviously
[07:35] <jayar> slurm = perfect :)
[07:35] <panax3> might be pretty handy
[07:36] <lotuspsychje> may i suggest best desktop recorder ever too= kazam
[07:36] <jayar> yea kazam rocks
[07:36] <lotuspsychje> jayar: got latest version too?
[07:37] <panax3> seen  kazam on youtube
[07:37] <jayar> the fix for 11.10?
[07:37] <lotuspsychje> jayar: 1.0.2 is latest
[07:38] <jayar> k

[07:41] <datalay> or can i install ubunutu to NAS volume
[07:41] <lotuspsychje> NAS server on a pc?
[07:41] <c31r2g> UbuN2:hi u changed ur name
[07:41] <lotuspsychje> !nas
[07:41] <UbuN2> :)
[07:41] <solofight> what the hell - this flash sh*t in ubuntu is becoming serious - why am i not able to see the video in this link http://www.videofy.me/pkcrunch/391121
[07:41] <c31r2g> UbuN2:that was cool
[07:42] <datalay> yes i have a freenas server on the network,, i want to mount it to a pc.. and i want to install ubuntu on it
[07:42] <UbuN2> solofight, whts the problem
[07:42] <UbuN2> works fine for me
[07:42] <norbert79> solofight: The problem lies in your environment, I am able to see it without issues. Lucid, FF10, Flash 11
[07:42] <datalay> i want to use  NAS volume as root partition for me
[07:43] <c31r2g> UbuN2:i alredy have a wine on mint 8 and now want to try wine on ubuntu 9.04
[07:43] <solofight> UbuN2, the place where video is suppose to play is a black area - thats the problem. Not able to play the video !
[07:43] <UbuN2> solofight, which ubuntu u using
[07:43] <norbert79> solofight: Are you sure you have the Adobe Flash installed? You can check that by opening a new tab, and entering: about:plugins
[07:43] <solofight> UbuN2, same happens when i try to watch the videos postedby my friends in facebook as well
[07:43] <c31r2g> UbuN2:i tried the sudo apt-get command but it goes on internet
[07:44] <solofight> i checked with windows and all is well
[07:44] <UbuN2> check i package manager c31r2g
[07:44] <UbuN2> in*
[07:44] <zykotick9> !9.04 | c31r2g
[07:44] <UbuN2> for wine
[07:44] <c31r2g> UbuN2:how can i specify a path
[07:44] <panax3> i find it easy to install flash from terminal
[07:44] <UbuN2> path ?
[07:45] <norbert79> zykotick9: Let's notr forget, this is a community help support channel. If you don't wish to help, you can ignore the question any time...
[07:45] <c31r2g> ubottu:my processor is celeron  m and higher versions lag a bit
[07:45] <norbert79> zykotick9: We are not affiliated by Canonical at any level
[07:45] <UbuN2> solofight, download the latest flash player
[07:45] <zykotick9> norbert79: i'm sorry, what?
[07:45] <lotuspsychje> lol
[07:45] <zykotick9> norbert79: using 9.04 is EOL, it's a bad idea.
[07:46] <solofight> UbuN2, ubuntu 11.10
[07:46] <UbuN2> 64 bit or 32 bit
[07:46] <norbert79> zykotick9: We were not asked about our opinion, but for our help :)
[07:46] <solofight> norbert79, e    File: libgnashplugin.so
[07:46] <solofight>     Version:
[07:46] <solofight>     Shockwave Flash 10.1 r999.
[07:46] <norbert79> solofight: It might be a good idea to install the latest, version 11.
[07:46] <UbuN2> 64 bit or 32 bit <== solofight
[07:47] <norbert79> UbuN2: 32 bit, I am sure... Since version 10 had no 64 bit support yet, and I doubt he would have struggled
[07:47] <c31r2g> UbuN2:where can i get the list of commands to work on terminal while installing or updating a softtware
[07:47] <UbuN2> solofight, grab the latest flashplayer and extract it to /home/<user>/.mozzila/plugins
[07:48] <UbuN2> and restart browser
[07:48] <c31r2g> UbuN2:what is the default path after which downloaded items go
[07:48] <norbert79> solofight: Ehm, void UbuN2's advise because of following reasons: The install path might conflict with current flash. Second: Canonical offers 'partners' repository, it's easier upgrading through there
[07:49] <UbuN2> huh norbert79 ?
[07:49] <UbuN2> ive been doing since ubuntu 5.10
[07:49] <norbert79> UbuN2: Why to do something manually for someone unexperienced, and might cause issues, if there is a 'clean' way
[07:49] <UbuN2> never had a problem ever
[07:49] <zykotick9> !wfm | UbuN2
[07:49] <UbuN2> ok he can if he wants
[07:49] <solofight> norbert79, earlier i gave apt-get install flash*
[07:49] <norbert79> UbuN2: Since his skills he might not understand right now everything
[07:49] <solofight> that wont do ?
[07:50] <norbert79> solofight: Lets go into PM if you don't mind
[07:50] <c31r2g> no fights please and listen to my query
[07:50] <UbuN2> no wonder ubuntu losing against mint
[07:50] <norbert79> c31r2g: We are not fighting :) UbuN2 I will tkae over soloflioght's issue
[07:50] <UbuN2> ignorance
[07:50] <lotuspsychje> oO
[07:50] <norbert79> Jesus

[07:52] <norbert79> solofight: Yes, but not my window :)
[07:53] <norbert79> solofight: Looks like you are on Xchat, please check the tabs on the left
[07:53] <c31r2g> norbert79,UbuN2:where can i learn the commands and does ubuntu and mint support help like in windows
[07:53] <norbert79> solofight: You should see my tab there too
[07:53] <solofight> people how do i install adobe flash in my ubuntu 11.10 ?
[07:53] <solofight> 64 bit
[07:54] <norbert79> c31r2g: Hmm... Well, as start, if you don't want to rtead a lot, try using TAB in your command line: this will display all commands. And there is 'man' too
[07:54] <lotuspsychje> software centre is pretty handy
[07:54] <norbert79> solofight: Please check your messages... I have sent you a PM
[07:54] <c31r2g> norbert79:i'm checking it
[07:54] <panax3> you kow what makes ubuntu cool xtreegold clones you install utree and use with root access awsome
[07:55] <lotuspsychje> !info utree
[07:55] <norbert79> !info xtreegold
[07:55] <norbert79> Thought so...
[07:55] <c31r2g> norbert79:how can i know what does what,my 2nd day on linux itself

[07:56] <panax3> its the shell of all shells
[07:57] <ActionParsnip> panax3: i dunno, bash is pretty badass.
[07:57] <norbert79> ActionParsnip: Korn Shell for geeks ;-)
[07:58] <panax3> true but I was into xtreegold in my dos days guess its just if you like it
[07:58] <ActionParsnip> norbert79: that IS old school. Dang
[07:59] <ActionParsnip> I use guake terminal + bash. Works well
[07:59] <panax3> I am into old school I guess lol startes with unix shell acount and lynx brouser for the web lol
[08:00] <lotuspsychje> links2 rox
[08:00] <zykotick9> lotuspsychje: i can't make up my mind between links2 and elinks, i use both
[08:01] <lotuspsychje> !info elinks
[08:01] <lotuspsychje> zykotick9: didnt know this one yet tnx :p
[08:04] <TimTim3456> can anybody help me with my Raid problem? Im afraid to loose data :(
[08:04] <damo22> TimTim3456: whats the problem
[08:05] <ActionParsnip> TimTim3456: what about your backups..?
[08:07] <agu10^> how long do you think it will take to see the first win8 3D oled 10" wacom-enabled 4G quad-core full HD tablet?
[08:07] <shadowh511> agu10^: buzzwords much? :/
[08:07] <agu10^> not really... they're features
[08:07] <ActionParsnip> Why win8?
[08:08] <agu10^> because win8 will have all desktop apps too
[08:08] <shadowh511> so is my cloud-based dynamic redundancy storage buffer with automatic notifications
[08:08] <agu10^> and I haven't seen many productive apps made specifically for tablets or mobiles
[08:08] <agu10^> production is on desktop.
[08:08] <alecbenzer> my window manager crashes almost every time i alt-tab. any idea what would be causing that?
[08:08] <ActionParsnip> agu10^: so will many Linux distros. Doesn't answer my question.
[08:08] <agu10^> yet i want to produce in my tablet: blender, unity3d, visual studio, etc
[08:09] <agu10^> ActionParsnip, i don't think so. Have you seen any linux distro actually planning for this?
[08:09] <urlin2u> alecbenzer, seems to restart compiz here.
[08:10] <ActionParsnip> alecbenzer: try disabling the current alt+tab plugin and use something else, like ring switcher
[08:10] <agu10^> There's Android, ChromeOS... then there are some ubuntu hacks and stuff that will never see the light in the masses
[08:10] <sandyramy> man man
[08:10] <sandyramy> man info
[08:10] <ActionParsnip> agu10^: android
[08:10] <agu10^> ActionParsnip, ?
[08:10] <agu10^> android doesn't run any productive software from desktop
[08:10] <ActionParsnip> Android runs great on tablets
[08:11] <agu10^> that's not the point.
[08:11] <ActionParsnip> agu10^: google docs for one...
[08:11] <agu10^> besides I need windows for almost any production work I make. Linux is simply incompatible with most software
[08:11] <shadowh511> agu10^: then why are you in a channel for Ubuntu?
[08:12] <shadowh511> valid point is valid
[08:12] <agu10^> because i use ubuntu ?
[08:12] <agu10^> I'm not some stupid winfan
[08:12] <agu10^> i don't think there are many windows fans...
[08:12] <ActionParsnip> agu10^: there is an email client built in for none gmail and a web brower can be used. Sounds like an office pc to me..
[08:12] <shadowh511> ಠ_ಠ
[08:13] <agu10^> i don't do office stuff
[08:13] <urlin2u> agu10^, yeah software designed for windows there are lots of linux equivalents though, free of virus, rootkits, malware, keyloggers..etc
[08:13] <agu10^> LOL
[08:13] <agu10^> urlin2u, linux equivalents are usually sub-par, with smaller community, or not mostly used among proffessionals
[08:13] <agu10^> like Gimp vs Photoshop
[08:13] <alecbenzer> ActionParsnip: um, where do you do that in 11.10's interface?
[08:13] <ActionParsnip> urlin2u: not free, just significantly less to the point of near zero :-)
[08:14] <agu10^> I use GIMP, but I should be using photoshop :/
[08:14] <shadowh511> agu10^: then contribute to them instead of complaining ^_^
[08:14] <Ben64> photoshop works fine in wine
[08:14] <ActionParsnip> alecbenzer: do what?
[08:14] <urlin2u> agu10^, hmm the large hadron colliider runs opensuse they seem to be professionals
[08:14] <agu10^> shadowh511, it's not a one-man job, neither a community only job
[08:14] <agu10^> urlin2u, note we're talking about production, kkthx
[08:14] <shadowh511> agu10^: work cannot be done without work being done
[08:15] <SirLinux> Morning.
[08:15] <alecbenzer> ActionParsnip: disabling the alt-tab plugin/switching to a different one
[08:15] <agu10^> production as in content creation: videogames, videos, graphics, etc
[08:15] <ActionParsnip> agu10^: go ask google or the US army what OS their PRODUCTION servers run
[08:15] <shadowh511> agu10^: linux is caught in a catch-22 in that regard
[08:15] <ActionParsnip> alecbenzer: ccsm
[08:15] <shadowh511> it cannot be populat for that stuff unless it is popular for that stuff
[08:15] <shadowh511> popular*
[08:16] <agu10^> ActionParsnip, google doesn't produce videos with linux... probably with macs or windows
[08:16] <ActionParsnip> agu10^: you think pixar use windows?
[08:16] <agu10^> ActionParsnip, their servers may run linux
[08:16] <urlin2u> agu10^, note your making broad generalizations. :)
[08:16] <Ben64> google doesn't produce videos ...
[08:16] <shadowh511> methinks troll...
[08:16] <agu10^> pixar uses different OSs... maya runs on 3
[08:17] <ActionParsnip> Methinks misinformed ...
[08:17] <Ben64> linux is very commonly used in render farms
[08:17] <meerkats> is there any place I can find all this packages http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Download precompiled for ubuntu?
[08:17] <Ben64> much cheaper and easier to scale than windows
[08:17] <shadowh511> meerkats: it's on your system already
[08:17] <agu10^> urlin2u, generalizing is majority
[08:17] <marnold> agu10^, pixar uses linux Debian for rendering
[08:17] <shadowh511> meerkats: methinks the alsa packages would do it
[08:17] <agu10^> hey guys I'm talking about a tablet here
[08:17] <shadowh511> meerkats: never had to install it by hand though
[08:17] <agu10^> who said renderfarms? lol
[08:17] <Ben64> <--
[08:18] <shadowh511> agu10^: no, you are talking about linux in general
[08:18] <marnold> but i don't know what they use for desktops
[08:18] <agu10^> no
[08:18] <shadowh511> agu10^: you are overgeneralizing
[08:18] <agu10^> look at my topic agian
[08:18] <ActionParsnip> a lot
[08:18] <urlin2u> agu10^, you make no sense, and would be laughed out of any critical thinking situation.
[08:18] <meerkats> shadowh511, I dont have alsadrivers per http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=f318695569d3d27d3b594f11b66e1440225f6f64
[08:18] <agu10^> urlin2u, not really, you don't make sense of easy stuff
[08:19] <somsip> !ot
[08:19] <ActionParsnip> Shall we switch back to support now?
[08:19] <urlin2u> agu10^, easy stuff is not critical informed thinking.
[08:19] <marnold> hey would anyone know how to dissable a touchpad in a thinkpad without dissabling the little red dot thing
[08:19] <OpenSesame> I need help
[08:19] <shadowh511> urlin2u: let's take this to #ubuntu-offtopic
[08:19] <shadowh511> OpenSesame: what's the problem?
[08:19] <agu10^> urlin2u, I'm talking about a tablet bro
[08:19] <marnold> OpenSesame, whats your issue
[08:19] <ActionParsnip> marnold: you mean the nipple mouse?
[08:20] <agu10^> and you come up with: 'renderfarms and servers use linux' no shit
[08:20] <marnold> yes i use that
[08:20] <Ben64> agu10^: you barely mentioned tablet
[08:20] <somsip> !ot | agu10^
[08:20] <syddraf> Guys. Take it to offtopic. This is the support channel. You aren't discussing support issues.
[08:20] <OpenSesame> I'm trying to install Ubuntu right now along Windows 7 with a disk. But it doesn't detect any operating systems
[08:20] <agu10^> benit's the origin of the conversation
[08:20] <ActionParsnip> agu10^: this is support, take it to #ubuntu-offtopic
[08:20] <shadowh511> OpenSesame: did you back up your data?
[08:20] <urlin2u> shadowh511, lol even less think going on there I have said all that needs to said. :)
[08:20] <marnold> ActionParsnip, it was designed for people who can't use touchpads
[08:20] <urlin2u> thinking
[08:20] <OpenSesame> Well I don't need because I also just fresh installed W7
[08:21] <shadowh511> OpenSesame: okay, good.
[08:21] <shadowh511> OpenSesame: are you on the livecd now?
[08:21] <urlin2u> OpenSesame, you leave a unallocated space for ubuntu?
[08:21] <OpenSesame> I'm using another computer right now
[08:21] <OpenSesame> Trying to dualboot on my laptop
[08:21] <ActionParsnip> marnold: if its connected to the same controller then you may be stuck
[08:21] <shadowh511> okay, can you get to a terminal on the laptop?
[08:21] <OpenSesame> Well I partitioned my hard drive into two. 250 GB each.
[08:22] <OpenSesame> So there is one that is not allocated at the moment
[08:22] <OpenSesame> But still somehow Ubuntu doesn't detect any OS
[08:22] <shadowh511> okay, want me to walk you through manual paritioning?
[08:22] <OpenSesame> Sure, anything that works
[08:22] <Ben64> OpenSesame: did you install it already?
[08:22] <marnold> what i thought
[08:22] <urlin2u> OpenSesame,is it a raid or uefi set up?
[08:22] <ActionParsnip> OpenSesame: 250gb for ubuntu is a lot :-)
[08:22] <shadowh511> okay, please open the install app
[08:23] <marnold> how would i figure that out
[08:23] <OpenSesame> in Windows? or restart with the live cd?
[08:23] <shadowh511> OpenSesame: on the live cd
[08:23] <OpenSesame> Ok its loading and then
[08:23] <shadowh511> let me know when it's loaded
[08:24] <Ben64> OpenSesame: and then you'll install ubuntu onto the empty 250GB partition
[08:24] <meerkats> I can extract alsa-driver_1.0.24+dfsg.orig.tar.bz2 wherever I can, cant i?
[08:24] <kapz> Hi all! I have ubuntu 11.10 installed on desktop, can I use my cellphone as a webcam? Thanks a lot :)
[08:25] <ActionParsnip> marnold: if you run: lsmod   you will see the loaded drivers. Anything that it isn't obvious what is, research it. You may have 2 mouse ones but i think its going to be the same module running both
[08:25] <shadowh511> kapz: what phone?
[08:25] <Ben64> meerkats: yes, but that is not the solution to your problem, will likely make more problems for you if you continue that path
[08:25] <ActionParsnip> meerkats: sure. There is a handy ppa if you are not on oneiric
[08:26] <meerkats> im in 11.10 oneiric
[08:26] <OpenSesame> hey shadowh511, loaded now
[08:26] <ActionParsnip> marnold: there may be an option on the module to disable the pad. Or it may be in config of the OS
[08:26] <meerkats> I have already seen latest stable alsa, by their site, is 1.0.25 released this year
[08:26] <itsadante> would anyone here have any exp with jetway motherboards?
[08:27] <kapz> shadowh511: Its an samsun S android phone
[08:27] <kapz> *samsung S
[08:27] <ActionParsnip> meerkats: install unp then ru
[08:27] <meerkats> however, my installation shows: Driver version:
[08:27] <meerkats> Library version:    1.0.24.1
[08:27] <meerkats> Utilities version:  1.0.24.2
[08:27] <ActionParsnip> Then run:  unp alsa-driver....  etc
[08:27] <shadowh511> OpenSesame: okay, head to the partitoning screen where it says where you want to install ubuntu to
[08:27] <marnold> ActionParsnip, i was hoping there was an easy way
[08:27] <OpenSesame> k give me a sec
[08:27] <shadowh511> kapz: I don't know of any way to do that D:
[08:27] <meerkats> sudo apt-get unp?
[08:28] <marnold> there were HAL rules for hardy
[08:28] <ActionParsnip> meerkats: you missed the word install
[08:28] <marnold> but according to Dad they dontworknomoar
[08:28] <meerkats> ActionParsnip, I have downloaded manually both 1.0.24 and 1.0.25, should I get rid of both?
[08:28] <meerkats> extracted em to a dir named "Compiled"
[08:29] <ActionParsnip> meerkats: get 24, it matches the tools and utils
[08:29] <mk0> helloall! is it possible to change a theme in 12.04 alpha? i cannot stand buttons on the left side of a window.
[08:29] <OpenSesame> Okay, I'm there, again it says "This computer currently has no detected operating systems. What would you like to do?" Then it gives me two options;  1) Erase disk and install Ubuntu 2) Something else - You can create or resize partitions yourself, or choose multiple partitions for Ubuntu.
[08:30] <Ben64> !precise | mk0
[08:30] <shadowh511> something else
[08:30] <OpenSesame> Okay, but somehow I see free space  and its size is 500107MB
[08:30] <mk0> i know. i installed second alpha
[08:31] <meerkats> ActionParsnip, Got rid of both extracted 1.0.25 and 1.0.24 Do I need to ONLY extract 1.0.24 or do the nmp thing you just told me to do?
[08:31] <shadowh511> OpenSesame: your disk is clean
[08:31] <OpenSesame> which I dont think its correct because my HD is 500GB and I already partitioned into two 250GB
[08:31] <marnold> it will also be the second release without gnome2
[08:31] <shadowh511> OpenSesame: there is nothing on the disk
[08:31] <OpenSesame> well shouldn't there be? I have w7 on it..
[08:31] <OpenSesame> so i don't quite get it :(
[08:32] <shadowh511> well, it seems there is nothing on your disk somehow
[08:32] <marnold> luckly we has a good lxde variant
[08:32] <OpenSesame> well what would you suggest?
[08:32] <shadowh511> OpenSesame: reinstalling windows
[08:32] <OpenSesame> I actually tried that too lol
[08:32] <OpenSesame> And I even partitioned during the installation
[08:32] <meerkats> !seen ActionParsnip
[08:32] <urlin2u> OpenSesame, you can boot windows right?
[08:32] <shadowh511> i think this is a sign from the powers that be
[08:33] <marnold> !package aufs
[08:33] <OpenSesame> yes I can
[08:33] <OpenSesame> I can boot it finely
[08:33] <shadowh511> O_O
[08:33] <shadowh511> voodoo disk
[08:33] <urlin2u> OpenSesame, okay then you likely have a raid set up that linux needs to have the right set up to read.
[08:33] <OpenSesame> pretty annoyed by this..
[08:33] <OpenSesame> i dont get what the problem is
[08:34] <OpenSesame> really? but I have never set my hard drive as Raid before..
[08:34] <Ben64> OpenSesame: you must have some strange hard drive set up
[08:34] <OpenSesame> then if so what should i do
[08:34] <shadowh511> OpenSesame: nuke everything and install ubuntu first
[08:34] <shadowh511> then go off the livecd and shrink ubuntu
[08:35] <shadowh511> then install windows
[08:35] <alkisg> Are there plans to switch thunderbird to the quick release cycle too, so that we have thunderbird 10, 11 etc  on Lucid? Or that was only for firefox?
[08:35] <meerkats> do duplicated source lists make synaptic run slower?
[08:35] <urlin2u> OpenSesame, go to the ubuntu forums and post there you will most likely get setup unless somebody here sees the situation that knows this stuff.
[08:35] <shadowh511> then reinstall ubuntu to ger grub back
[08:35] <meerkats> or update manager?
[08:35] <OpenSesame> I see
[08:35] <Ben64> shadowh511: don't have to reinstall ubuntu to fix grub
[08:35] <OpenSesame> shadowh511, can i just install ubuntu right now then?
[08:35] <shadowh511> OpenSesame: yup
[08:35] <shadowh511> Ben64: I find it the most reliable way
[08:36] <Ben64> its silly
[08:36] <OpenSesame> and then shrink it after installation? and then install W7 after and then reinstall ubuntu again?
[08:36] <urlin2u> shadowh511, you are out of your area of knowledge here.
[08:36] <Ben64> OpenSesame: in the ubuntu installer, just use the manual partitioning and set ubuntu to use half the drive, would save the step of shrinking
[08:36] <shadowh511> Ben64 probably has a better way to do it
[08:37] <shadowh511> i was just suggesting the way I do ti
[08:37] <OpenSesame> lol
[08:37] <OpenSesame> i cant even install ubuntu
[08:37] <shadowh511> and it Works For Me (tm)
[08:37] <Ben64> OpenSesame: why not?
[08:37] <shadowh511> OpenSesame: probably a hardware raid card
[08:37] <OpenSesame> it pops a warning box saying No root file system. No root file system is defined. Please correct this from the partitioning menu.
[08:37] <Ben64> yeah you need to make it
[08:37] <OpenSesame> when I click Install Now to the free space
[08:37] <urlin2u> OpenSesame, ignore this help it is not informed.
[08:38] <OpenSesame> ah i se eok
[08:38] <Ben64> OpenSesame: what screen are you at right now
[08:38] <OpenSesame> still pops that warning box..
[08:38] <calamity_> Heya guys, quick question: (13)Permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80 - what does this mean and how do I fix it? :p
[08:38] <OpenSesame> it just says No root file system is defined.
[08:38] <shadowh511> calamity_: you have to run it as root
[08:39] <shadowh511> calamity_: type in sudo !!
[08:39] <Ben64> calamity_: what are you trying to do?
[08:39] <shadowh511> Ben64: looks like a http server to me
[08:39] <Ben64> OpenSesame: you need to create the partitions on the drive, at minimum a root partition (/) and a swap partition
[08:39] <OpenSesame> so click Add?
[08:39] <calamity_> Ben64, basically localhost, etc no longer connect, which is weird because it was working fine a few days ago and nothing much has changed.
[08:39] <meerkats> how do I open alsa-driver_1.0.24+dfsg-0ubuntu2.debian.tar.bz2? tar -xjf doesnt seem to work
[08:40] <Ben64> calamity_: any port under 1024 can't be opened by a normal user
[08:40] <urlin2u> Ben64, if the disc does not read the windows partition then building a partition is not solid advice.
[08:40] <OpenSesame> got it, and it now tells me that I have not selected any partitions for use as swap space.
[08:40] <Ben64> OpenSesame: i'm not sure, I can't see what you're on
[08:40] <calamity_> Ben64, okay, so I just used root, and it's already running, apparently.
[08:40] <OpenSesame> should i just continue? or
[08:40] <Ben64> urlin2u: he said he's fine with installing windows again afterwards
[08:41] <calamity_> Ben64, but I am still getting no result when I try to connect to the page
[08:41] <urlin2u> OpenSesame, go to the ubuntu forums and post your problem.
[08:41] <Ben64> calamity_: what program are you running for this
[08:41] <urlin2u> Ben64, that is a stupid idea.
[08:41] <Ben64> urlin2u: why
[08:41] <urlin2u> slpshod at best
[08:42] <iToast> Tm_T,
[08:42] <iToast> Can you help me in here?
[08:42] <meerkats> how do I open a .debian.tar.bz2? tar -xjf doesnt seem to work
[08:42] <urlin2u> Ben64, tink man it is obvious this can be done correctly, not in a slipshod way that serves what you think might work but probably wont.
[08:42] <urlin2u> think
[08:42] <Ben64> urlin2u: it will work
[08:43] <calamity_> Ben64, Apache2
[08:43] <susundberg> meerkats: then the package is wrong edian -- what does the tar -jxf <package-here> say ?
[08:43] <susundberg> meerkats: not wrong edian but wrong format
[08:43] <Ben64> calamity_: you really shouldn't be running apache with sudo
[08:43] <scarleo> meerkats, try bunzip2 instead
[08:43] <urlin2u> Ben64, glad you think so but it is advice that is not acceptable in this channel.
[08:43] <tensorpudding> debian.tar.bz2?
[08:44] <tensorpudding> i've not seen debuild create that, it always creates debian.tar.gz in my experience
[08:44] <tensorpudding> maybe it's actually a gzip archive
[08:44] <tensorpudding> check out what file says
[08:45] <meerkats> susundberg, tar -xjf alsa-driver_1.0.24+dfsg-0ubuntu2.debian.tar.bz2 says nothing at all
[08:45] <Ben64> OpenSesame: anyway, what screen are you on right now?
[08:45] <Ben64> meerkats: do "file alsa-driver_1.0.24+dfsg-0ubuntu2.debian.tar.bz2"
[08:45] <nixmaniack> does debedelta work in Ubuntu/
[08:45] <nixmaniack> !info debdelta
[08:46] <calamity_> Ben64, right, and I usually don't, but when I run it normally it gives me the error message as above
[08:46] <meerkats> Ben64,  file alsa-driver_1.0.24+dfsg-0ubuntu2.debian.tar.bz2
[08:46] <meerkats> alsa-driver_1.0.24+dfsg-0ubuntu2.debian.tar.bz2: bzip2 compressed data, block size = 900k
[08:46] <meerkats> dexter@dexter-M7X0SUN:~/Compiled$
[08:46] <meerkats> a bzip2
[08:47] <Ben64> calamity_: but you shouldn't be running it as your user either, it should be running as a special user for apache
[08:47] <meerkats> can I use unp to extract that?
[08:47] <Ben64> meerkats: then bunzip2 should extract it
[08:47] <susundberg> meerkats: add -v so it shows the files it extracts
[08:47] <susundberg> meerkats: my guess is that it unpacks them ok if it says nothing
[08:48] <susundberg> meerkats: that is 'tar -v -xjf alsa-driv ... '
[08:50] <meerkats> susundberg, http://pastebin.com/s2aMZfMe
[08:50] <calamity_> Ben64, fair enough
[08:53] <meerkats> scarleo, will bzip2 alsa-driver_1.0.24+dfsg-0ubuntu2.debian.tar.bz2 work?
[08:53] <Ben64> meerkats: bzip2 is the compresser
[08:53] <ActionParsnip> meerkats: tar jxvf alsa-driver....
[08:54] <Ben64> meerkats: dunno what you're trying to do.. its already extracted
[08:54] <ActionParsnip> Or use unp :-)
[08:56] <frig> [newb questions] Using Ubuntu Netbook Remix -- 1. How do I view the contents of my Thumb Drive // 2. Can I run Minecraft.exe on Ubuntu?
[08:56] <scarleo> meerkats, it's already extracted
[08:56] <scarleo> Has anyone successfully imported browser data from to Chromium from Firefox? It just says "No supported browser found" for me
[08:56] <meerkats> Ben64, scarleo I dont see it anywhere
[08:56] <ActionParsnip> Frig: minecraft uses java. There are tonnes of guides how to use
[08:57] <Ben64> frig: 1. insert thumb drive into usb port; 2. no, but you can run the linux version of minecraft
[08:57] <Ben64> meerkats: you pastebin'd the result of you extracting
[08:57] <DJones> frig: I run minecraft on Ubuntu 11.10, you download the java file from the website
[08:57] <frig> Ben64 thanks
[08:57] <ActionParsnip> Minecraft client as well as setup a server if you want
[08:57] <scarleo> meerkats, cd debian, your pastebin implies that it has already extracted it to folder debian
[08:57] <frig> well, I also can't get my wireless interent working...
[08:57] <frig> or wired...
[08:58] <frig> nothing shows up in the drop-down menu
[08:58] <ActionParsnip> Frig: which wireless chip does it use?
[08:59] <meerkats> fine, I  wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh; chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh; ./alsa-info.sh again, and the driver line still lists nothing... what else do I need to do?
[08:59] <ActionParsnip> Frig: What is the product line for the wifi in the output of: sudo lshw -C network
[08:59] <larles> hello
[09:00] <frig> sorry, looking for that info
[09:00] <frig> its an Acer Apsireone D255E
[09:00] <frig> this is the only link I had off hand, no details on the card http://www.specsbox.com/448/acer-aspire-one-d255e.html
[09:01] <frig> intel chipset popped up, but not sure if it is referring to the wireless as well
[09:01] <DJones> frig: The link for Minecraft is at http://www.minecraft.net/download (It may only show the windows version until you click "Show all platforms")
[09:01] <ActionParsnip> Frig: press CTRL+Alt+T and run the command. Type you password (you will get no feedback) then wait
[09:01] <frig> thanks Djones
[09:03] <meerkats> im sudo apt-get update
[09:03] <meerkats> sudo apt-get install --reinstall ALSA
[09:03] <meerkats> sudo apt-get install --reinstall pulseaudio
[09:03] <frig> ActionParsnip im new at this, I think I am doing something wrong
[09:03] <ActionParsnip> Djones: seems to happen a lot. Maybe Windows users need what they want to slap them in the face but Linux is confined to "other OS". Sad times
[09:04] <DJones> ActionParsnip: I'm on windows at the minute, so I was just assuming the website had detected that and gave the obvious option
[09:04] <ActionParsnip> Frig: press the keys I said and a terminal runs. Type the command then your password.
[09:05] <frig> ActionParsnip ok whihch info am I looking for in here
[09:05] <ActionParsnip> DJones: skype does it too.
[09:05] <Ben64> meerkats: what are you trying to accomplish?
[09:05] <frig> Broadcom Corp?
[09:05] <ActionParsnip> Frig:  the product line of the wifi
[09:05] <meerkats> ben64, to hear sounds in my latpot
[09:05] <meerkats> lol
[09:05] <meerkats> laptop
[09:05] <ActionParsnip> !broadcom | frig
[09:06] <meerkats> any sound at all
[09:06] <frig> product: AR8152 v.1. Fast Ethernet
[09:06] <Ben64> meerkats: why don't you install it the normal way, via synaptic or apt
[09:06] <ActionParsnip> Frig: Ethernet == wired
[09:06] <frig> err
[09:06] <ikonia> last th_
[09:07] <ikonia> oops
[09:07] <meerkats> ben64, ok, what packages do I have to install: I assume i would fined some ALSA 1.0.24 somewhere...
[09:07] <susundberg> meerkats: so it did extract them to directory 'debian' relative to your workind directory ..
[09:07] <frig> the other bit says product: BCM4313 802.11b/g LP-PHY /// vendor: Broadcom Corporation
[09:07] <susundberg> meerkats: that would be ~/Compiled/debian
[09:07] <ActionParsnip> Frig: you can use the atheros chip name to find guides online to make it work
[09:07] <Ben64> meerkats: have you tried "sudo apt-get install alsa-base"
[09:07] <frig> both read * Network Unclaimed
[09:07] <roland> Hi guys, someone broke the kernel! USB3.0 not working anymore!
[09:08] <susundberg> and yes, i also think installing via package manager is better way if you cannot point out a bug in the alsa that has not been fixed in the package available via package manager ..
[09:08] <frig> will Google, thanks
[09:08] <meerkats> Ben64, no
[09:08] <ActionParsnip> Frig: there are packages on the install cd to make the wifi go. All on that page ubottu gave
[09:08] <Ben64> meerkats: you should, would be easier than compiling
[09:09] <frig> excellent, thanks
[09:09] <frig> oh but also, the USB drive -- it doesnt autorun or pop up or anything when I connect it
[09:09] <frig> is there a place to view all the removable drives?
[09:09] <Ben64> frig: "Computer" on the menu
[09:10] <meerkats> Ben64, my synaptic: http://imagebin.org/198032
[09:12] <Ben64> meerkats: then looks like you have alsa installed
[09:12] <frig> Ben64 the Netbook Remix interface is very strange... I cant seem to find any "Computer"
[09:12] <meerkats> alsa base is already there, so is alsa 1.0.24 (they are the same) and other 1.0.24 plugins (none for 64 bits, thats not my arquitecture), so I dont understand why I dont see the 1.0.24 drivers activated
[09:12] <Ben64> frig: what version of ubuntu do you have? I thought they stopped doing remix
[09:13] <frig> 10.10
[09:13] <frig> maybe thats why its so shit :\
[09:13] <frig> redditors made me do it
[09:13] <Ben64> frig: that version is only supported until April
[09:14] <frig> well, im not opposed to starting over with a different version
[09:14] <Ben64> frig: that might help
[09:14] <frig> any suggestions for a netbook?
[09:14] <roland> frig: how powerful is that netbook?
[09:14] <arcsky> hello why does it take so long time with login on SSH to ubunu ? it takes like ages to get the password to come up
[09:14] <meerkats> ben64, then I dont understand why I dont see any driver version in http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=b2c0889ef98a8b77d27727285a0c11f52c9e04b3, if alsa is already installed...
[09:14] <urlin2u> frig, I have the d250 with th ram maxed at 2 gigs runs ubuntu fine.
[09:14] <frig> http://www.specsbox.com/448/acer-aspire-one-d255e.html
[09:14] <frig> with 2 gb of ram
[09:15] <Ben64> meerkats: don't worry about that
[09:16] <roland> frig: at this point I suggest you to create 2 USB sticks, one with ubuntu and one with kubuntu and try them both, and see which you like more
[09:16] <frig> urlin2u ubuntu desktop?
[09:16] <meerkats> ben64 and why is that? I cant hear anything
[09:16] <urlin2u> frig, yeah unity IO have a xubntu instalas well, fedora, and W7 on the HD and precise.
[09:16] <Ben64> meerkats: what version of ubuntu
[09:17] <frig> roland whats the major differences between ubuntu vs. kubuntu
[09:17] <urlin2u> frig, 5 OS on the 160 gig hd.
[09:17] <panax3> ahhh just run puppy
[09:17] <meerkats> Ben64, 11.10
[09:17] <roland> frig: one uses gnome3 or that Unity thingy, Kubuntu uses KDE
[09:17] <frig> i just need one that runs faster than windows 7 :\
[09:17] <Ben64> meerkats: pastebin "lspci"
[09:17] <roland> frig: try them both!
[09:18] <frig> understood
[09:18] <Ben64> frig: you could install ubuntu, then install lubuntu on top and use lxde
[09:18] <frig> thats probably what ill end up doing
[09:18] <scarleo> Has anyone successfully imported browser data from to Chromium from Firefox? It just says "No supported browser found" for me
[09:18] <Ben64> frig: lxde is very lightweight, so should be speedy
[09:18] <roland> frig: or you could even put KDE along with Gnome and lxde
[09:19] <JadedJacob>  When I set my resolution to 1024x768, after rebooting it always reverts back to the highest resolution my monitor supports, something crazy like 1600x1200
[09:19] <roland> and try them all alongside
[09:19] <roland> frig: you can change the GUI by just logging out, selecting another window manager from a menu and then log back in
[09:20] <guest829385> greetings. how can i get a USB wireless adapter to connect to a network on startup on 11.10?
[09:21] <urlin2u> guest829385, does it work as of now, and your having to type the password to bet it connected?
[09:21] <urlin2u> get
[09:21] <meerkats> Ben64, did you read the pm?
[09:22] <frig> ok, so im totally confused now... is this a good place to start: http://www.ubunut.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download
[09:22] <guest829385> as of right now, i'm not sure whats going on urlin2u. it's a headless box. i can ssh in with the wired connection, but not the wireless
[09:23] <frig> nevermind that is old :X
[09:23] <urlin2u> guest829385, I'm not familiar witha headless setup and wireless.

[09:25] <melvincv> I guess Ubuntu One could use a better web interface... something similar to Skydrive where we can select individual files for download, moving or sharing...

[09:32] <sinzx> Afternoon chaps, does anyone know the configuration menu within unity to get workspaces set up as rows, as opposed to four 'in a row'. The location of a conf file would be fine also.

[09:44] <steven123> Hi. I am looking for the tool used in Ubuntu 10.04 and up which generates a list of installation choice during install. This used to be debconf-get-selections, but this tool does not exist anymore.
[09:44] <madrid_> hay alguien que hable español ¿?
[09:44] <steven123> I need to generate a preseed file for automated installs
[09:44] <theadmin> !es | madrid_
[09:45] <theadmin> !clone | steven123
[09:45] <ictxiangxin> hi
[09:47] <steven123> theadmin, thanks. But that generates the list of installed packages only. As does dpkg --get-selections. I need the d-i script which keeps track of all the choices made during install
[09:47] <theadmin> steven123: "See also !automate" :P
[09:47] <theadmin> !automate | steven123
[09:48]  * Schrodinger`Cat 
[09:49] <steven123> theadmin, thanks. I followed that guide to the tee. However, there's no mention of how to generate the preseed file based on a prior installation. There's an example, but I've been tweaking it and I've run multiple installs. I just can't get the options right :)
[09:50] <theadmin> steven123: Hm, I'm not sure about that, sorry
[09:50] <steven123> this is what it says in the guide: $ debconf-get-selections --installer > file. Which would be great, if only that binary existed :D
[09:51] <theadmin> !find debconf-get-selections
[09:51] <theadmin> steven123: ^
[09:51] <steven123> yep, but that doesn't have an installation candidate and has been replaced by debconf-i18n :D
[09:51] <theadmin> Wut? Weird.
[09:52] <steven123> Yep :)
[09:53] <theadmin> steven123: You sure your repos are sane? I see debconf-utils in the repos
[09:53] <scarleo> Has anyone successfully imported browser data from to Chromium from Firefox? It just says "No supported browser found" for me

[09:54] <theadmin> Hm.
[09:54] <theadmin> steven123: Shouldn't be any different
[09:55] <steven123> theadmin, weird. I'll try to update my sources list
[09:56] <cemc> hi. after the last package update on 12.04, gnome freezes a lot. I can move the mouse, but I can't click on anything, and I have to switch to ctrl+alt+f1 and restart lightdm
[09:57] <EricInBNE> what program to use if I want to do a screen capture
[09:57] <cemc> EricInBNE: I found shutter pretty good
[09:57] <EricInBNE> i mean a video
[09:58] <cemc> oh, can't help you there
[09:58] <scarleo> cemc, try #ubuntu+1
[09:58] <cemc> scarleo: thx
[09:59] <loonix> When I move on my trackpad and hold it down, the cursor crawls a bit. I just upgraded from Ubantu 10.04 to Ubonto 11.10 what is goin on
[10:00] <Ranga179> hi there.
[10:00] <BezNalogov> Hello. I have installed xubuntu. The strange thing is that after I log in I get a black screen with a terminal screen. No desktop. Can anyone please explain me how to solve this?
[10:01] <e-yns> run a command startx
[10:02] <BezNalogov> X is running, but only showing a black background with a white terminal screen. Somehow no desktop is running
[10:02] <jatt> startxfce4
[10:03] <Ranga179> I installed Ubuntu through wubi and when i restarted my computer to boot it the computer showed the purple screen loading page and then after about 30 seconds the screen changed to a half purple color, half random colored lines then goes to a black glowing screen. I am running Window 7 premium. can anyone help?
[10:03] <BezNalogov> startxfce4 gives this error: Unable to determine failsafe session name.  Possible causes: xfconfd isn't running (D-Bus setup problem); environment variable $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS is set incorrectly (must include "/etc"), or xfce4-session is installed incorrectly.
[10:03] <jatt> there you go
[10:05] <BezNalogov> Ok, but how to solve that?
[10:06] <experiMENTAL> hi. ubuntu 11.10... is there any easy way to get ubuntu 11.04 bottom panel back?
[10:06] <fidel> experiMENTAL: talking about unity?
[10:07] <Ranga179> does anyone have a solution to my problem?
[10:07] <e-yns> experiMENTAL http://askubuntu.com/questions/58172/how-to-revert-to-gnome-classic
[10:08] <jatt> I don't now, maybe run xconfd?
[10:08] <jatt> like
[10:08] <jatt> /usr/lib/xfce4/xfconf/xfconfd
[10:08] <experiMENTAL> e-yns: thx, i'll try
[10:08] <jatt> or reinstall xfce
[10:09] <visof> hi
[10:09] <JadedJacob> Hi.
[10:10] <visof> why ubuntu one isn't for other linux distro , is ubuntu trying to be like windows and mac ?
[10:10] <JadedJacob> How can I setup ubuntu 10.04 with a dock like mac osx?
[10:12] <Ranga179> nope no solutions? ok i might try to uninstall it and reinstall
[10:13] <moes> JadedJacob, Have you tried avant-window-navigator
[10:14] <steven123> theadmin, I found it. The alternate cd sets main restricted in the apt sources file. Removing restricted allows me to install debconf-utils. Thanks for the help
[10:15] <theadmin> steven123: Weird... but okay
[10:18] <usuario1> hola

[10:22] <JadedJacob> moes: no i haven't tried avant-window-navigator
[10:22] <moes> JadedJacob, It in synaptic
[10:23] <JadedJacob> ok sweet
[10:23] <JadedJacob> If I have 10.04, can I keep just applying updates, and not upgrade to Unity?
[10:24] <Schiff> somewhat random question, but is there anyway in ubuntu to apply a bass filter [increase bass] to my audio recordings that is not done post production?
[10:24] <theadmin> JadedJacob: That would be correct. But 10.04 will expire sooner or later. I suggest you try Xubuntu
[10:24] <lord-ivan> hello all
[10:24] <lord-ivan> is any one a c proprammer in here
[10:25] <ubuntu> test
[10:25] <sandy> Hello everyone :-)
[10:25] <lord-ivan> is any one a C programmer in here
[10:25] <scarleo> !ask | lord-ivan
[10:26] <JadedJacob> Hi sandy
[10:26] <lord-ivan> i have a c programme i need help with
[10:26] <sandy> Hello JadedJacob
[10:26] <theadmin> lord-ivan: Try ##c
[10:27] <JadedJacob> theadmin: What do you mean expire? Can't you just keep applying security updates to it?
[10:27] <lord-ivan> the for loop will not work
[10:27] <theadmin> JadedJacob: Not forever. Every Ubuntu release has an expiration date, after which it's repositories will go offline
[10:27] <JadedJacob> What about LTS?
[10:27] <kalimojo> having problems with my wifi connection, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt, flaky
[10:27] <theadmin> JadedJacob: LTS are supported longer, but still not forever
[10:28] <JadedJacob> So in other words ubuntu is forcing us to use Unity, unless you use an alternative release like xubuntu,kubuntu,lubuntu ?
[10:28] <theadmin> JadedJacob: Untrue. You can use classic gnome if you "apt-get install gnome-fallback"
[10:28] <theadmin> JadedJacob: Or you can use gnome-shell
[10:28] <lord-ivan> http://pastebin.com/txpQHqiL this is ma code
[10:28] <kalimojo> i hate unity
[10:28] <theadmin> JadedJacob: You're free to choose
[10:28] <ouyes> kalimojo, so do I
[10:28] <kalimojo> lol
[10:29] <scarleo> lord-ivan, type /join ##c and ask the question there
[10:29] <akpk> What is the default file permission for /tmp
[10:29] <lord-ivan> my code is here http://pastebin.com/txpQHqiL can any one help me
[10:30] <theadmin> lord-ivan: Try ##c or #ubuntu-devel , we're not a programming channel
[10:30] <flintwingel> akpk: rwxrwxrwt
[10:30] <theadmin> lord-ivan: And learn to indent your code, this ain't readable >.<
 : thank U.
[10:32] <JadedJacob> If I use gnome-fallback, which version of gnome will it install?
[10:32] <Ranga179> Hello,I installed Ubuntu through wubi and when i restarted my computer to boot it the computer showed the purple screen loading page and then after about 30 seconds the screen changed to a half purple color, half random colored lines then goes to a black glowing screen. I am running Window 7 premium. can anyone help me with this?
 : how can i change it in terminal ??
[10:34] <melvincv> JadedJacob, Gnome3 with a Gnome 2 look. Without the extra effects.
[10:34] <JadedJacob> OK.
[10:35] <flintwingel> akpk: chmod is the command line tool for changing permissions. As /tmp is owned by root you'll need to use sudo
[10:35] <JadedJacob> Will unity still be installed but just not launched at boot time if I install from a ubuntu 11.10 live CD?
[10:35] <melvincv> Ranga179, which version of Ubuntu are you using?
 : usually i change like sudo chmod 777 /folder/
[10:36] <Ranga179> 11.10
[10:36] <Ranga179> well im back onto the windows boot atm due to the error
 : but i don know to change it to numbers...

[10:36] <frig> runnig ubuntu on the netbook now, firefox keeps crashing -- is there a better browser?

[10:37] <eagles0513875|> hey guys im running ubuntu 11.10 and i set a system wide socks proxy to use my ssh tunnel
[10:37] <melvincv> Ranga179, when you see the purple screen, press the spacebar and see if it makes a difference: you should now see a menu :)
[10:37] <e-yns> google.com/chrome
[10:37] <eagles0513875|> for some reason though firefox when you tell it to use the system proxy settings it doesnt seem to use them, and i had to set them in firefox as well any ideas would be greatly appreciated
[10:37] <flintwingel> akpk: have you heard of octal - base 8 numbers - that's what the 777 represents where each digit corresponds to one set of "rwx" permsissions
[10:38] <Ranga179> melvincv thankyou for you're help, i'll try this now, if it doesn't work i shall be back :)
[10:38] <xsl> Morning all, i have a problem using remmina to connect to another VNC session of ubuntu ( my keyboard mapping is wrong )
 : sudo u=rwx,g=rwx,o=rwt ??
[10:38] <flintwingel> akpk: the number you give to chmod is stricly a 4 digit number - the first digit is assumed to be zero unless specified. The number you want is 1777
[10:39] <JadedJacob> I'm confused.
 : rwx = 7 and rwt = ?
[10:41] <melvincv> JadedJacob, I'm confused too, with Gnome3.
[10:41] <lord-ivan> Stanley00 how can i do it
[10:41] <Stanley00> lord-ivan: do what?
[10:41] <Neo3132> ciao
[10:41] <Neo3132> !list
[10:42] <flintwingel> akpk: the t comes from the 1 in 1777 - the t is called the sticky bit. It means that only the owner of a file can delete it even though the perms of the directory are 777. ls gives you a quirky view of permissions becase the sticky bit didn't exist in early unix file systems
[10:42] <lord-ivan> stanley00 The while loop do i do while(;;) i do not know the condition to ues
[10:43] <Stanley00> lord-ivan: while(1) is equal to for(;;), but you should ask this question in #c, not here
 : sudo chmod 1777 /tmp/       is that Okay ??
[10:44] <lord-ivan> okay
[10:44] <flintwingel> akpk: yes
[10:45] <JadedJacob> If I want pure ubuntu 11.* and no unity, would it be better to install ubuntu from a minimal CD?
[10:45] <rokyronnie> How can I share my internet connection in Ubuntu 11.10 cause I can't find "Share to other computers" option in my Network Connections
[10:46] <geirha> akpk: That's the mode /tmp should have, yes.
 : Thank you............But finally What is the default permission for /opt/   ??
[10:47] <flintwingel> akpk: owner root:root, perm 755
[10:48] <rokyronnie> can somebody help me ?
[10:48] <bodoh> how to totally remove that libreoffice garbage?
[10:48] <bodoh> apt-get remove "what"?

[10:48] <bodoh> libreoffice?
[10:48] <bodoh> doesn't work
[10:48] <bodoh> so?

[10:49] <ampharos> My wired networking recently failed to work. Ubuntu sees it, and attempts to connect, but fails. My cat can't nudge out ethernet wires. The chipset is a SiS 191.

[10:49] <ampharos> bodoh: go to synaptic, search libreoffice, and remove the packages

[10:50] <flintwingel> bodoh: most people on talk when they've got somethinh useful to say...
[10:51] <bodoh> 'useful' is always, on the eyes of the beholder
[10:53] <ampharos> As my wired networking somehow failed, I'm using wireless networking
[10:54] <ampharos> I know the router functions, it's serving other wired clients fine
[10:54] <ampharos> My cord I'm sure is snug; ethernet is hard for a cat to nudge out, unlike power cords :/
[10:54] <rokyronnie> How can I share my internet connection in Ubuntu 11.10 cause I can't find "Share to other computers" option in my Network Connections
[10:56] <flintwingel> ampharos: maybe an obvious question but does either your network card or router have activity lights? are they on?
[10:56] <ericus> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11674650
[10:57] <ampharos> my wired networking's NIC has an orange light on, it's normally green

[10:59] <ampharos> ifconfig http://pastebin.com/ax6nSSdA
[10:59] <rokyronnie> why wireless ? the other computer is connected through a cable

[11:00] <ampharos> router: one is a PC smilar to this, but older, one is an xbox, and the other is a switch with IPTV boxes from my ISP
[11:00] <ampharos> I'm plugged in, but no light on the router for me
[11:01] <flintwingel> ampharos: have you tried disabling & re-enabling networking through the network manager
[11:02] <ampharos> I've rebooted with and without NM
[11:02] <angela-android> ericus, can you join #ubuntuforums for a minute please?
[11:02] <ampharos> ethernet is disconnected, reconnecting...
[11:03] <flintwingel> ampharos: standard network debugging... change cable, change port... are you using dhcp? have you got enough spare leases?
[11:03] <ampharos> DHCP, I'll try unplugging the ethernet and power, to reboot the NIC

[11:28] <Ranga179> ok so heres my story+problem: I downloaded wubi to install ubuntu 11.10, throughout the windows installation bit there were no error messages then it gave me the option to reboot so i rebooted. the laptop automatically went to the terminal-looking screen where it is installing it. eventually it loaded up the purple screen saying "ubuntu" and underneath the word it had the 4 little loading dots. Afetr the loading finished the s
[11:29] <marnold> Ranga179, you hit the charector limit
[11:29] <Ranga179> I restarted the laptop and selected to boot Ubuntu, then the screen went to the loading screen mentioned earlier without the text and dots, eventually the bottom half of the screen went black and colors started appearing. then the screen went black.
[11:30] <marnold> try pressing ctrl+alt+f2
[11:30] <marnold> might be a gfx issue
[11:30] <Ranga179> at what point in time?
[11:30] <marnold> after it goes blank
[11:30] <Ranga179> ok, thankyou, brb i will try it now
[11:31] <archx> joesnt seem to be much going on

[11:36] <tensorpudding> but i don't know italian
[11:37] <theadmin> tensorpudding: Neither do I lol, just guessing. Besides there is google translate
[11:37] <Ranga179> so i tried pressing Ctrl+alt+f2 and it went to a black screen with text saying: line 1: "the was an unclean file system (0, 0)"  line 2 was something about unsafe windows closing then it said fixing

[11:47] <Lachezar> Hello. I am having a strange memory leak using du...
[11:48] <macelfresh> my question is, I have a 500go space that i want to be accessible by both ubuntu and windows 7 (data disc), is it ok to use it as a whole for this purpose and what type should i specify?
[11:49] <ikonia> macelfresh: it's not really the best option to do that
[11:50] <macelfresh> ok
[11:50] <N3M35I5> macelfresh: if your on about using it as a junk partition to be read in both windows and ubuntu, go with ntfs woks fine for me
[11:50] <ikonia> macelfresh: the only really cross-compatible file system is fat32 or ntfs
[11:50] <ikonia> macelfresh: ntfs has a closed file system and "works" with linux, but is not %100 stable, although it is "fine", fat32 is stable with both, but has limitations such as file size
[11:50] <N3M35I5> if you use fat32, you wont beable to copy anything bigger than 4gb to it
[11:51] <Ben64> ntfs gets really weird in linux if you start running out of space
[11:51] <aizensama> ello
[11:52] <aizensama> someone can help me with my ubuntu ?
[11:52] <macelfresh> ikonia, n3m35I5, ok so maybe i should set up a space for windows only, one for linux only and one common?
[11:52] <nava> hi all
[11:52] <N3M35I5> tbh i'd go with ntfs. works fine for me
[11:52] <N3M35I5> but if your only going to copy small files (less than 4gb) go with fat32
[11:52] <nava>  I make a mock-up for let users to choose want to have full screen with luncher or without it. where should i send it ?
[11:52] <bananenkampf-de> aizensama, tell the problem :D
[11:53] <aizensama> bana, ty :)
[11:53] <aizensama> well, i used virtual box to install ubuntu
[11:53] <aizensama> i use a laptop, and i can't connect the ubuntu to internet
[11:54] <bananenkampf-de> i believe thats not a problem :P
[11:54] <aizensama> all tutorials on web have failed
[11:54] <macelfresh> n3m35I5, it's the file itself that shouldnt be bigger than 4go right? not a groupe of file?
[11:54] <N3M35I5> aizensama your network settings on the virtualbox need configuring by the sounds of it
[11:54] <bananenkampf-de> ah
[11:54] <bananenkampf-de> sorry didn't read the line with your internet...
[11:54] <N3M35I5> hmm im not sure about that macelfresh, but i think its the file itself
[11:54] <aizensama> i think that's the point where i am dumb :)
[11:54] <macelfresh> ok
[11:54] <macelfresh> n3m35i5, thanks for your input
[11:54] <bananenkampf-de> aizensama, have you configured a network device for your guest virtual machine? which type is the network adapter? (NAT, bridge, internal network...)
[11:55] <macelfresh> I'll see to that
[11:55] <macelfresh> thanks again
[11:55] <aizensama> internat network, on my laptop i connect to wireless on my router
[11:56] <aizensama> i want to install ubuntu as my main operating system, and i'm afraid i will just look at him :)

[11:56] <aizensama> windows 7
[11:57] <bananenkampf-de> 64bit?
[11:57] <aizensama> yep
[11:57] <bananenkampf-de> hrhr
[11:57] <eutheria> other than thunderbird and evolution, is there another imap email client that supports imaps ?
[11:57] <flintwingel> eutheria: claws
[11:57] <chat1> hi
[11:58] <chat2> hi
[11:58] <chat2> whats up?
[11:58] <bananenkampf-de> you have to install some driver from virtualbox on windows 7. afaik the drivers aren't signed with a key, and windows 7 64bit doesn't allow you to install such drivers. check the device-manager from windows (i hope you know - i only know the words in german :D) if theres a network-device from virtualbo
[11:58] <eutheria> thanks flintwingel
[11:58] <aizensama> yep .. i have the driver from virtual box
[11:58] <chat1> see ya..
[11:58] <theadmin> bananenkampf-de: That's not exactly true, you need to install guest additions (if the Windows is guest)
[11:59] <azriel> I need help
[11:59] <bananenkampf-de> theadmin, not for an internet connection
[11:59] <aizensama> i installed also guest addition
[11:59] <theadmin> aizensama: Have you rebooted since the Virtualbox installation? Are you in the "vboxusers" group?
[11:59] <azriel> I am running ubuntu 11.04, on a compaq presario CQ57, every single time i turn it on at some random point in time it freezes
[11:59] <bananenkampf-de> what sys ifconfig in ubuntu?
[11:59] <aizensama> i have in windows at networks adapters - virtual box host-only ethernet adapter
[12:00] <_monk_> I only wlan0
[12:00] <aizensama> theadmin:  yes
[12:00] <azriel> it does not matter what i am doing, it just freezes, the last image on my screen is now in place, and the last second of audio repeats over and over
[12:00] <aizensama> installed ubuntu on my vb 10 times in 2 days :)
[12:00] <azriel> it will only respond to being turned off and then on
[12:00] <azriel> google is no help to me
[12:01] <azriel> does this sound familiar to anyone at all?
[12:01] <bananenkampf-de> aizensama, what does 'ifconfig' in your guest put out?
[12:01] <bananenkampf-de> i installed windows xp in virtualbox in 2 days lol
[12:01] <bananenkampf-de> one time
[12:01] <_monk_> lol
[12:01] <sKeiths> how do i 'scp' files from one machines /usr/local/bin folder to another. i tried scp filename root@2ndcomputer:/usr/local/bin but it is denying me permissions but if i try to do it as user@ then i'm also denied permission. permitrootlogin is already 'yes'
[12:02] <aizensama> eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 08:00:27:1b:9d:5c             inet6 addr: fe80::a00:27ff:fe1b:9d5c/64 Scope:Link
[12:02] <_monk_> encap:Ethernet  HWadd
[12:02] <azriel> come on, my computer locks up all the time, surely someone has had thsi problem before?
[12:02] <bananenkampf-de> hmm
[12:03] <bananenkampf-de> how is you network device configured in virtual box?
[12:03] <aizensama> so as i understand i need to configure my eth0
[12:03] <azriel> someone?
[12:03] <azriel> anyone?
[12:03] <flintwingel> aizensama: in the snetwork ettings for the guest what have you got adapter 1 set to?
[12:03] <eutheria> flintwingel, thanks again! i think i tried claws out some years ago, worked perfectly!
[12:03] <bananenkampf-de> normally it's done by vb automatically, but we have to check
[12:04] <flintwingel> eutheria: :)
[12:04] <azriel> somebody????????????????????????????
[12:04] <meerkats> do alsa and libasound make the same thing? should I get rid of one?
[12:04] <aizensama> uhmmm
[12:04] <aizensama> in network i have only 2 items
[12:04] <aizensama> Wired and Network proxy
[12:04] <azriel> ?
[12:04] <azriel> ?
[12:04] <azriel> ?
[12:04] <FloodBot1> azriel: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:05] <ikonia> azriel: please stop that, it's not helpful
[12:05] <aizensama> so i think my network adapter on VB is not configured ?
[12:05] <azriel> WELL FUCK YOU NEITHER IS THIS PLACE!
[12:05] <aizensama> well, that kid has a patience problem :)
[12:06] <Lachezar> When I use du I get increase in buffers, but double increase in used memory!
[12:07] <aizensama> bananenkampf-de: i can give you team viewer ... to look for yourself :)
[12:07] <flintwingel> aizensama: in vbox manager you need to set apater 1 to either bridged or NAT and make sure it uses the same network interface your host machine is using
[12:07] <Skrcciolo1981> Good morning everyone, I have a problem with xchat from ubuntu 10.10 I do not emit sounds while having enabled
[12:07] <Skrcciolo1981> my version is 2.8.8
[12:07] <aizensama> flintwingel: yep, the adapter on VB is set to internal network
[12:08] <macelfresh> ikonia, I have a last question, i have set up my partitions all right, but before i hit install now, there is this question. The question is in french so I'll translate it without being sure if it's the exact same in the english version of the ubuntu install. Anyway i need to specify where the boot programm should, aka on which partition. Which one should i choose? Thanks
[12:08] <aizensama> doesn't that means it uses the network from my windows ?
[12:08] <aizensama> should i set it to NAT ?
[12:08] <flintwingel> aizensama: "internal network" to vbox means "don't talk to anything other than other guests"
[12:09] <flintwingel> aizensama: either bridged (if you have a DHCP server on your network) or NAT
[12:09] <kapz> Hi I am about to buy a new scanner : Canon LiDE 110. It is 'completely' supported by SANE backened called genesys, howeverUbuntu 11.10's sane is only on version 1.0.22, how do I update it?
[12:09] <aizensama> sec, ima change the settings in VP
[12:09] <melvincv> Hi all, I have an issue with Banshee crashing on Natty. Here's the error: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/835114/
[12:09] <aizensama> VB
[12:10] <aizensama> for bridge i have to make any other special setup in ubuntu ?
[12:10] <chat1> done
[12:10] <flintwingel> aizensama: no, you shouldn't have to change ubuntu at all
[12:10] <aizensama> i saw he auto detected my wi-fi driver
[12:11] <melvincv> looks like I need to install a later version of a database. Could you tell me which package to install for my banshee error?
[12:11] <bananenkampf-de> NAT or bridge... i wonder when NAT doesnt work
[12:11] <macelfresh> which peripheral should i specify to install the boot programm? default is the whole disc
[12:12] <aizensama> well, i'm an idiot :)
[12:12] <aizensama> worked as a charm
[12:12] <aizensama> ty all for the assistance
[12:12] <zx81> hi
[12:13] <macelfresh> which peripheral should i specify to install the boot programm? default is the whole disc, anyone? :)
[12:13] <zx81> i cant install a flashplayer plug
[12:13] <evstatii> default
[12:13] <macelfresh> ok
[12:13] <Guest78541> anybody can help to find a flashplayer compatible
[12:14] <bentkus> compatible to what?
[12:14] <flintwingel> bananenkampf-de: NAT make running a server as a guest a bit of a pain...
[12:14] <Guest78541> mozilla or google chrome
[12:15] <bananenkampf-de> flintwingel what server is running on NAT?
[12:15] <Milos_SD> Hi ... Why did Ubuntu switched from ffmpeg to libav?
[12:15] <bananenkampf-de> i don't understand
[12:16] <fidel> Guest78541: an easy solution for flash inside FF is using the ff-extension Flash-Aid
[12:16] <fidel> just one of several ways to mess with that topic
[12:16] <bananenkampf-de> Mils_SD none can understand XD doesn't matter, install the package and be happy :) done the same
[12:16] <flintwingel> bananenkampf-de: in answer to your question " i wonder when NAT doesnt work".... if you have a guest that's acting as a server (maybe a webserver) you wouldn't want to use NAT as it would make it difficult to access the server
[12:17] <bananenkampf-de> flintwingel, okay - thank you. yes i read about this, it's possible to do port-forwarding with NAT but its difficult and stupid, for a server i use bridge :)
[12:17] <ikonia> flintwingel: most web servers are natted
[12:17] <kapz> Hi I am about to buy a new scanner : Canon LiDE 110. It is 'completely' supported by SANE backened called genesys, howeverUbuntu 11.10's sane is only on version 1.0.22, how do I update it?
[12:18] <ikonia> bananenkampf-de: it is not difficult or stupid to use nat
[12:18] <ikonia> kapz: you can't update it using official packages
[12:18] <flintwingel> ikonia: not sure that's true
[12:18] <ikonia> flintwingel: it is true
[12:18] <bananenkampf-de> ikonia: explain - i haven't so much experience with virtualized servers. i think its "cleaner" to use bridged
[12:18] <ikonia> bananenkampf-de: then use what you want
[12:19] <flintwingel> ikonia: I don't want to quibble but could you provide any supporting evidence...
[12:19] <bananenkampf-de> ikonia: i do, but i want to understand why you say this :)
[12:19] <ikonia> flintwingel: I work with major hosting providers and most servers are natted
[12:19] <debo> hi everyone i want to learn something about python, is there a nice python channel here?
[12:19] <ikonia> debo: #python
[12:20] <kapz> ikonia: Any other way? Thanks
[12:20] <ikonia> kapz: only ways I would not advise you do
[12:20] <p1l0t> I keep getting this Error 6 in libwebkit when my browser (ephihany but all my browsers have been crashing since last upgrade) crashes.. It is a known bug on launchpad one guy thinks it comes from libgcrypt11 and claims reverting to natty libgcrypt11 fixes the problem. How do I downgrade a package? Is there an easy command like sudo apt-downgrade or something or do I have to do manual install?
[12:20] <kapz> hmm
[12:21] <meerkats> what do I need for alsamixer to work?
[12:21] <meerkats> I have reinstalled all alsa packages found in synaptic, and it still not there
[12:21] <meerkats> it is*
[12:21] <flintwingel> ikonia: i find that a stange way to approach public web servers given some of the problems of NAT... why is it done?
[12:21] <ikonia> flintwingel: because there is no problem with nat
[12:22] <Guest78541> anybody know the terminal commande to install update of flash player
[12:22] <ikonia> Guest78541: when an update is available, the ubuntu package manager will offer you the update
[12:23] <bananenkampf-de> Guest78541, i think you installed it with ubuntu (install restricted extras)? so it'updated automatically
[12:23] <Guest78541> i have found a rpm but i can install it
[12:23] <gingerling> Hi, not been able to install stuff from repos for a while
[12:23] <gingerling> keep getting Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/liba/libav/libavdevice52_0.6.2-1ubuntu1.1_i386.deb 404  Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.166 80] stuff
[12:23] <ikonia> Guest78541: you can't use rpms, they are designed for redhat systems
[12:23] <gingerling> any ideas whats up with that?
[12:23] <Guest78541> so
[12:23] <ikonia> gingerling: yes, that file is not on that server
[12:24] <gingerling> ikonia: is that a problem with the repos then?
[12:24] <melvincv> Hi all, I have an issue with Banshee crashing on Natty. Here's the error: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/835114/ looks like I need to install a later version of some 'database'. Could you tell me which package to install for my banshee to work?
[12:24] <Guest78541> i have try to install with logitecch
[12:24] <Guest78541> no result
[12:24] <petsounds> meerkats: you run it in terminal.
[12:24] <ikonia> gingerling: it's a problem with that server if it's in other repos
[12:25] <gingerling> ikonia: Is there any way for me to solve this? All I am doing is opening software centre and trying to install stuff as normal
[12:25] <bananenkampf-de> Guest78541, which version of ubuntu did you use?
[12:25] <gingerling> but havent been able to do anything for aaages
[12:25] <Guest78541> 11.10
[12:25] <p1l0t> sudo apt-get install pkg=[version?]
[12:25] <Guest78541> 64
[12:26] <ikonia> gingerling: check other servers to see if the file is there
[12:26] <gingerling> ikonia: sorry, I am a non-tech, not sure how to do this
[12:26] <ikonia> gingerling: open the link in a web browser
[12:26] <melvincv> Just before this banshee error, I updated ubuntu one.
[12:26] <ro_70s> how can I install updates from the commandline? I mean the updates I see under "Updates Available" in gnome
[12:26] <Guest78541> beback in 20mn
[12:26] <melvincv> If that has anything to do with banshee crashing...
[12:27] <gingerling> ikonia: which link
[12:27] <ikonia> gingerling: the link you just posted
[12:28] <gingerling> ikonia: just searches for it like its a word
[12:28] <gingerling> and nothing comes up
[12:28] <gingerling> ikonia
[12:28] <gingerling> sorry
[12:28] <gingerling> i get you npw
[12:29] <gingerling> it says not found
[12:29] <FloodBot1> gingerling: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:29] <ikonia> gingerling: http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/liba/libav/libavdevice52_0.6.2-1ubun
[12:29] <ikonia> gingerling: that is the link
[12:29] <ikonia> gingerling: testing that link (not security.ubuntu.com) on other repo servers will confirm if the file should be there or not
[12:29] <ro_70s> oo I see
[12:30] <gingerling> oh man this is well over my head today : ( Just want to install openshot
[12:34] <gingerling> tried using menu to move to main server from ukay server and it says this now : Package [dbus.String(u'openshot')] isn't available
[12:35] <p1l0t> sudo apt-get install libgcrypt11=1.4.6-4ubuntu2
[12:36] <p1l0t> is wrong version
[12:36] <p1l0t> How do I downgrade to 1.4.6?
[12:36] <ikonia> what do you mean "is wrong"
[12:36] <p1l0t> E: Version '1.4.6-4ubuntu2' for 'libgcrypt11' was not found
[12:37] <JadedJacob> Just tried booting off a live CD
[12:38] <JadedJacob> but my system just displayed some pattern after i chose 'try ubuntu with out installing'
[12:39] <ikonia> p1l0t: why don't you use the version ubuntu provides you ?
[12:40] <p1l0t> ikonia: Ephiphany keeps crashing with Error 6 in libwebkit which is known bug. One person claims it is related to another known bug in libgcrypt11 and that downgrading to the natty version solves the problem. I want to try it.
[12:41] <JadedJacob> What happened to the safe graphics mode?
[12:41] <ikonia> p1l0t: are you using natty ?
[12:41] <JadedJacob> never mind, I set | acpi=off
[12:42] <p1l0t> ikonia: negative
[12:42] <p1l0t> ikonia: Oneric
[12:44] <Lutra> hayy
[12:49]  * p1l0t is freaking out because the silence is deafening.
[12:50] <melvincv> how do i resize pics in shotwell?
[12:52]  * melvincv sees 1525 people here, wow
[12:52] <p1l0t> melvincv: They are all busy busy bees working, coding...
[12:53] <melvincv> p1l0t, me too, but I'm a system admin :)
[12:54] <sKeiths> how do i scp as root?
[12:54] <p1l0t> sudo scp
[12:54] <sKeiths> on remote machine
[12:54] <p1l0t> IDK
[12:55] <damo22> scp blah root@host
[12:55] <sKeiths> its ubuntu, so it goes permission denied. i don;t know how to enable this
[12:55] <damo22> the remote machine is ubuntu?
[12:55] <jrib> sKeiths: are you sure you need to?
[12:56] <sKeiths> both machines
[12:56] <sKeiths> i want to migrate my users from old to new
[12:56] <sKeiths> so i need scp as root on both machines
[12:57] <jrib> sKeiths: so go to the old computer, use sudo to scp a tar of /home (I assume by "migrate users" you just mean copy /home), and then deal with it at new using sudo
[12:58] <sKeiths> okay, so make a file and move it, instead of all the files
[12:58] <jrib> sKeiths: sure, that's one way
[12:59] <sKeiths> thanks
[12:59] <damo22> sKeiths: to make it painless, make the GIDs and UIDs the same for respective users on both machines then when you untar it will preserve permissions
[13:01] <melvincv> I need a tutorial on scp
[13:01] <meerkats> can anyone PLEASE confirm if linux-alsa-driver-modules-$(uname -r) is the same as linux-alsa-driver-modules 3.0.0.14 generic
[13:02] <meerkats> thefirst reference is found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/InstallingLinuxAlsaDriverModules, the second one comes from the reloaded synatptic packages after adding the new ppa
[13:02] <ychaouche> hello #ubuntu, If i install apache will it install mod_php as a dependency ?
[13:02] <melvincv> Hi all, I have an issue with Banshee crashing on Natty. Here's the error: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/835114/ looks like I need to install a later version of some 'database'. Could you tell me which package to install for my banshee to work?
[13:03] <ychaouche> Or let me ask the question differntly, what's the right package name to install apache and mod_php (and maybe some more things) alltogether ?
[13:04] <melvincv> ychaouche, install LAMP server by $ sudo tasksel  and select LAMP server
[13:04] <JadedJacob> So seems acpi=off helps with boot problems with legacy hardware :D
[13:04] <ychaouche> melvincv: ok thanks.
[13:05] <JadedJacob> Just about to partition my 149.05 Gii
[13:05] <JadedJacob> GiB drive for Windows XP and ubuntu dual boot, got any good recommendations?
[13:06] <JadedJacob> Shall I put the swap drive at the start of the drive?
[13:10] <JadedJacob> when paritioning, shall I use 'align to:' MiB or cylinder
[13:10] <ikonia> p1l0t: don't mix versions/packages
[13:12] <akpk> Good theme for Ubuntu 11.10 ??
[13:12] <scarra3> Sup everyone
[13:12] <bazhang> !themes | akpk look here
[13:12] <computer_> Hi there all
[13:13] <computer_> Say, I am having a heck of a time trying to setup a hotspot in 11.10
[13:13] <computer_> and also trying to convert an .img to an .sio
[13:13] <computer_> .iso
[13:14] <eagles0513875|> hey guys where is fontconfig located so i can add it to the environmental path
[13:14] <ikonia> eagles0513875|: search for it
[13:16] <scarra3> Well tonight I am fully moving both my computer over to ubuntu 11.10
[13:17] <p1l0t> ikonia: OK :( I guess I'll deal with random browser crashes till April.
[13:17] <p1l0t> Hopefully libgcrypt11 will be fixed in new version
[13:19] <JadedJacob> On a pentium 4 2.4ghz, shall I use Ext4 or Ext3 as my '/' partition ?
[13:19] <melvincv> JadedJacob, both will work...
[13:20] <JadedJacob> I want as much performance as possible :)
[13:20] <JadedJacob> For watching flash videos :D
[13:20] <JadedJacob> it's a 160GB drive
[13:21] <llutz> JadedJacob: you won#t see any difference between ext3/4
[13:21] <JadedJacob> k
[13:23] <theadmin> JadedJacob: ext4 has some new filesystem options (large fs support, extents, multiblock allocation etc), but most of the time ext3 and ext4 perform the same. ext3 has more compatibility though (older, better tested)... I use ext3 myself, can't complain heh
[13:23] <Kamshak> I'm trying to use an ubuntu server as router, i configured bind and added a zone, when i use nslookup router.lan.slz.local it returns the right ip, when i hower try to ping router.lan.slz.local it says unknown host. What could be the problem?
[13:24] <[666]> tv card that works well with ubuntu, anyone?
[13:25] <[666]> (QAM, FM, HDTV, et al support)
[13:25] <bazhang> http://www.linuxtv.org/   [666] take a look here
[13:26] <Guest85691> why flashshplayer dont work with myspace ( sys oneric 11.10 86 x 64)
[13:26] <[666]> thanks for that. already been. I was hoping for a good user experience.
[13:26] <JadedJacob> theadmin: thanks.
[13:26] <JadedJacob> I think I might use ext3.
[13:27] <DerFlash> does anyone know a way to directly stream glc-capture'ed videos to vlc>justintv ?!
[13:27] <DerFlash> instead of just recording and glc-play'ing it later
[13:27] <theadmin> JadedJacob: I would also like to point out that not all bootloaders have ext4 support (old grub doesn't support ext4, and I think syslinux doesn't either)
[13:27] <JadedJacob> i'm about to install lubuntu 11.10
[13:27] <JadedJacob> L
[13:28] <Guest85691> i have trying to use a player in myspace ( not compatible with flash )))
[13:29] <Guest85691> is there a solution ???
[13:29] <computer_> That's great JadedJacob, just don't expect the HotSpot feature to work
[13:29] <JadedJacob> hotspot feature?
[13:30] <computer_> You know when you turn your wireless card into a accesspoint for others
[13:30] <Guest85691> anybody have trying to read a player myspace ???
[13:30] <JadedJacob> oh right, hotspot doesn't work on Lubuntu?
[13:31] <theadmin> Guest85691: Nobody uses myspace anymore so you'll have to wait for some hipster to answer... Have patience :)
[13:31] <actarus> hi, sorry, I have a little problem with samba, I want to share my Music folder with other computers, and I did, but I can't see the subfolders and files, can please somebody help me?
[13:31] <theadmin> JadedJacob: If you install the traditional networkmanager it will work just like in the standard edition
[13:31] <JadedJacob> the hotspot feature seems to be working fine on the live cd
[13:32] <pros977> I'll need to find my delorean in order to answer the myspace question
[13:32] <JadedJacob> ...of lubuntu
[13:32] <theadmin> JadedJacob: Very well then, just ignore what that person said, might be their hardware.
[13:32] <Guest85691> sorry my realy question : (if anybody user of oneric 86_64 11.10 have try to open a player of myspace music)
[13:33] <theadmin> Guest85691: Please stop repeating, I suggest you try the VLC plugin (if it's not Flash then it's likely just the traditional media plugin). No idea how though.
[13:34] <theadmin> Guest85691: Or it could be Java. Dunno.
[13:34] <wolfric> gui for nagios? There seem to be a million and one, is there any preferred/standard one for settingup + viewing monitoring from nagios3?

[13:37] <Guest85691> jadedJacob, when i want read a music on any myspace
[13:37] <lupo> !ciao
[13:37] <lupo> !list
[13:38] <Guest85691> jadedJacob, it crash on flashplayer...
[13:38] <JadedJacob> You mean listen to music?
[13:39] <morgajel_> hey guys, can you think of any reason why 11.10 would show a single processor for an intel core 2 duo in /proc/cpuinfo?
[13:39] <Guest85691> jadedJacob, yes
[13:39] <lmontrieux> morgajel_, are you sure it only shows one CPU? Remember the count starts at 0
[13:40] <morgajel_> heh, yes, I'm sure.
[13:40] <llutz> morgajel_: grep cores /proc/cpuinfo
[13:41] <morgajel_> disclaimer: I'm a sysadmin over 800 servers assisting one of our devs with their ubuntu image for their workstations
[13:41] <morgajel_> llutz: 1
[13:41] <morgajel_> you can ratchet me up to tier two :)
[13:41] <llutz> morgajel_: uname -a
[13:42] <morgajel_> it says it's an SMP kernel
[13:42] <lmontrieux> morgajel_, sorry, didn't want to question your technical knowledge :)
[13:42] <morgajel_> lmontrieux: no problem, been there before
[13:42] <theadmin> morgajel_: You sure nobody stole the real CPU and replaced it with a pentium 2 or something? xD
[13:42] <theadmin> (just kidding, don't mind me)
[13:42] <morgajel_> heh
[13:43] <morgajel_> we're seeing it on all of the newly imaged machines, optiplex 760's.
[13:43] <morgajel_> opensuse is what they were using, and it detects the kernel properly
[13:43] <morgajel_> I'll be DAMNED if I let them go back to that mess.
[13:43] <ikonia> morgajel_: I've seen this issue once before, I'm just seeing if I have info on it
[13:44] <morgajel_> ikonia: danke, the googles have been of no use so far
[13:44] <melvincv> hi all, figured out that I had to rename a file called banshee.db to get banshee running. I have a user profile from Oneiric. Then I removed Oneiric and installed Natty. Hence the error. Now how do I restore my library?
[13:44] <ikonia> it was quite an obscure issue as I recall
[13:44] <debo> ubuntu  make my laptop very hot
[13:45] <debo> it  going to break it haha
[13:45] <lmontrieux> debo, you might want to use 'top' to find out whether a process is using a lot of resources
[13:46] <morgajel_> debo: I find flash turns mine into a reactor
[13:46] <Adriannom> what's the best way to have an up to date ubuntu without unity?
[13:46] <debo> install 11.04
[13:46] <ephelion> Are you having problems with your video card? You could install Unity 2D.
[13:46] <lmontrieux> Adriannom, just install the latest Ubuntu and use something else, like Gnome 3, Xfce, KDE, you-name-it?
[13:46] <theadmin> Adriannom: Install Xubuntu, Lubuntu or Kubuntu.
[13:47] <DJones> !nounity | Adriannom
[13:47] <debo> 11.04 is much better than 11.10 from my point of view
[13:47] <Adriannom> ok i already tried with gnome fallback, but gnome-shell is gnome 3 is it?
[13:47] <lmontrieux> Adriannom, yes it is
[13:47] <actarus> need help with samba, please...
[13:48] <Adriannom> cool, google has too much crap out there to find that simple suggestion, thanks
[13:48] <morgajel_> ikonia: if you recall any search terms I'll start googling for it
[13:48] <debo> gnome 3 is even buggy than unity
[13:48] <scarleo> morgajel_, can this be of any help? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1084622
[13:48] <Adriannom> debo: really?
[13:48] <Adriannom> debo: i just want 10.04 but with up to date packages tbh
[13:48] <debo> yes
[13:49] <sattu94> yea.. 10.04 was col.
[13:49] <sattu94> cool*.
[13:49] <debo> i like 11.04 which still has gnome 2
[13:49] <Adriannom> gnome fallback isn't the same though
[13:49] <morgajel_> worth a try scarleo
[13:50] <melvincv> debo, me too. I've downgraded to Natty keeping the same home folders.
[13:50] <slipttees> hi all
[13:50] <ikonia> morgajel_: I didn't google, I worked it out with the guy
[13:50] <nvictor> hey all
[13:50] <pros977> I agree on the fallback comment. I use xfce now. Not a big Unity fan
[13:51] <nvictor> i am trying to create a symbolic link to a directory on mnt
[13:51] <nvictor> and it's failing
[13:51] <slipttees> I burn data file with brasero... now dvd doesnt open
[13:51] <slipttees> my CD/DVD disappear
[13:51] <slipttees> :(
[13:52] <Adriannom> however, fallback is as good as i'll get to 10.04 up to date is it?
[13:52] <theadmin> Adriannom: Correct.
[13:52] <slipttees> I burn data file with brasero... now dvd doesnt open  Put dvd in Driver my CD/DVD disappear.
[13:52] <melvincv> I suggest an autoconfigured Xchat in Ubuntu by default, just like the one in Mint, so that all can get support easily...
[13:53] <melvincv> slipttees, what is the version of brasero?
[13:55] <Silex> I heard there are experimental repositories... I'm trying to find/install the latest Qt 4.8 by using a .deb/whatever
[13:55] <Silex> I know I can compile the source myself but I'd like it to be managed by aptitude
[13:55] <bazhang> Silex, for kubuntu?
[13:56] <Silex> ubuntu 10.10
[13:56] <Silex> it's an old box, but maybe I'll upgrade to the latest ubuntu if it's really a showstopper
[13:57] <bazhang> Silex, you are referring to a PPA perhaps
[13:57] <slipttees> melvincv: last ubuntu 11.10
[13:58] <debo> when the next ubuntu come out? sirs
[13:58] <bazhang> debo, April this year
[13:59] <melvincv> slipttees, maybe try XFburn
[13:59] <bazhang> #ubuntu+1 for discussion debo
[13:59] <theadmin> debo: Ubuntu has releases in April and October every year. Usually at the end of the respective months.
[13:59] <Silex> bazhang: you mean https://launchpad.net/ubuntu ?
[13:59] <melvincv> !xfburn
[13:59] <Silex> coulnd't find Qt 4.8 on it
[13:59] <debo> thx

[14:02] <morgajel_> scarleo: ikonia: no dice on the kernel param change.
[14:02] <melvincv> slipttees, you want one of the best? k3b is perhaps the most useful
[14:02] <akpk> Good theme for Ubuntu 11.10 ??
[14:02] <slipttees> melvincv: i'm use gnome/unity
[14:02] <ikonia> personal choice, find one you like

  : I din see the link,Sorry.
[14:04] <melvincv> slipttees, I'm on Gnome too. I see xfburn just a 1.5MB download from the repos (whereas k3b is very large due to the KDE libs)
[14:04] <meerkats> I have done https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/InstallingLinuxAlsaDriverModules
[14:04] <meerkats> but no difference a t all
[14:05] <debo> is there has a channel talk about python i want learn something about it. thx
[14:05] <slipttees> melvincv: why my cd/dvd dissaper?
[14:05] <virhilo> hello
[14:05] <Kujis> Hello. Does anyone know how can I change the starting folder of emacs?
[14:05] <slipttees> melvincv: why my cd/dvd disapper?
[14:06] <Kujis> Does anyone know how can I change the starting folder of emacs?
[14:06] <bazhang> debo, try #python
[14:07] <bazhang> Kujis, there is a channel #emacs if you don't get an answer here
[14:07] <melvincv> slipttees, look at the light of your drive, if it is still blinking (for a long time) perhaps your disc is damaged
[14:08] <kapz> hi! I really am in need of a desktop clock-widget on Ubuntu 11.10? Any help is appreciated
[14:08] <slipttees> melvincv: no, no blinking for long time.
[14:09] <theadmin> kapz: Try screenlets
[14:09] <theadmin> kapz: Or conky maybe
[14:09] <melvincv> slipttees, try again
[14:09] <slipttees> melvincv: i try on others computer (linux)
[14:09] <slipttees> same problem
[14:09] <slipttees> :=/
[14:10] <melvincv> slipttees, I see 3 reasons, brasero, or your disc, or your drive.
[14:11] <melvincv> slipttees, brasero is quite buggy
[14:11] <slipttees> melvincv: all (60)computers with ubuntu Linux 11.10
[14:11] <slipttees> melvincv: i hate brasero...
[14:11] <aLeSD> hi all
[14:11] <aLeSD> someone could suggest me an app to mount remote servers ?
[14:11] <roasted> hello! does anybody know offhand a way to launch network manager's gui via terminal?
[14:11] <melvincv> slipttees, most people have bad experience with it.
[14:12] <slipttees> melvincv: damn... ubuntu need good cd/dvd burn.
[14:12] <kapz> WoW! it works exactly as I wanted! kudos and thanks to you theadmin :)
[14:12]  * melvincv wonders why brasero is not replaced?
[14:12] <roasted> slipttees: uh. does it not?
[14:12] <slipttees> melvincv: gnomebaker maybe
[14:12] <kapz> screenlets should be a part of standard IMHO.
[14:12] <roasted> gnomebaker, k3b, brasero, all pro apps
[14:12] <kapz> *standard install
[14:12] <slipttees> brasero sucks!!
[14:12] <slipttees> kd3 need kde libs
[14:13]  * melvincv burned a coaster with gnomebaker.
[14:13] <slipttees> gnomebaker... not trust
[14:13] <theadmin> slipttees: Try gnomebaker or xfburn...
[14:13] <theadmin> slipttees: I just use genisoimage and cdrecord from command-line actually
[14:13] <roasted> brasero is quite a fine burning app actually
[14:13] <roasted> I use it quite frequently and have no issues
[14:13] <roasted> and what's the problem with ubuntu using kde libs? more and more qt is being baked into ubuntu to begin with.
[14:14] <roasted> it hardly makes a difference anymore except to overbearing gnome zealots
[14:14] <slipttees> roasted: do not like kde
[14:14] <roasted> wah
[14:14]  * melvincv wonders why he should download 150MB to use a DVD burning app (k3b)
[14:15] <roasted> melvincv: due to the kde libs involved with k3b.
[14:15] <slipttees> wodim problem?
[14:15] <roasted> is there a way to launch network manager from terminal?
[14:16] <virhilo> how to force udev to mount disk as some user? ENV{ID_FS_UUID_ENC}=="6b04d72e-a2fd-474c-be71-e29c1dedef49", ENV{mount_options}="$env{mount_options},user=virhilo" seems to not work:/
[14:16] <SeasluG> nwapplet i think
[14:16] <SeasluG> nw-applet
[14:16] <melvincv> roasted, then why there isn't something comparable to k3b in Gnome??? If I could spend, I would do so on Nero Linux... I'm frustrated.
[14:17] <roasted> melvincv: why is it a big deal that you don't want to install k3b in gnome? it makes little/no sense to me why it would make a difference.
[14:17] <theadmin> melvincv: xfburn works, brasero works... What's the problem with them?
[14:17] <roasted> melvincv: not to mention, there are countless other burning programs out there.
[14:17] <slipttees> melvincv: someone owes me a blank dvd. :p
[14:17] <roasted> melvincv: in fact, if you want to know some honest truth, k3b was one of the apps that attracted me to ubuntu and showed me what kind of quality free an dopen source software can provide.
[14:18] <roasted> melvincv: since then, though, I just use brasero, because it's included, easy to use, and haven't had a single problem with it.
[14:18] <JadedJacob> I'm having all sorts of problems getting ubuntu installed
[14:18] <slipttees> roasted: get source kd3 export to gnome libs and G3b :p
[14:18] <roasted> what
[14:19] <slipttees> roasted: make g3b burn. based on k3b with gnome libs
[14:19] <slipttees> :p
[14:19]  * melvincv has burnt coasters with brasero and gnomebaker, no issue on Windows, yet to try k3b and XFburn. Maybe XFburn.
[14:19] <melvincv> My last option is non-free software!
[14:19] <roasted> slipttees: why would I make another burning application when there are COUNTLESS awesome ones available RIGHT now?
[14:19] <roasted> melvincv: sorry I couldn't help you any further. Your frustration is confusing to me.
[14:20] <roasted> melvincv: as I said, countless great burning apps available. No reason whatsoever to be frustrated.
[14:20] <slipttees> roasted: :-/
[14:20] <slipttees> roasted: help!
[14:20] <melvincv> ok roasted, I feel better now. Free software has countless options :)
[14:21] <sKeiths> any idea on how to debug my ls takes 10 seconds on a directory
[14:21] <JadedJacob> at the very end of my install, the screen went corrupt.
[14:21] <JadedJacob> I restarted and got a grub error.
[14:21] <JadedJacob> It didn't even make to the grub boot loader.
[14:21] <JadedJacob> I'm trying an older version now.
[14:21] <JadedJacob> 10.10
[14:21] <JadedJacob> tried installing 11.10
[14:26] <compdoc> JadedJacob, why are you installing an OS in the first place? did the old OS stop working?
[14:28] <JadedJacob> I'm switching from windowsXP to a fresh install of ubuntu
[14:30] <roasted> why is clementine so awesome
[14:30] <crim_> netsplit
[14:30] <JadedJacob> Great now my pc is in a loop of trying to power up :(
[14:30] <doherty> How can I configure my ssh client to not attempt certain authentication methods, even if the server supports them (gssapi-with-mic, kerberos)
[14:31] <compdoc> JadedJacob, sounds like a hardware issue
[14:31] <JadedJacob> my BIOS is complaing about the CPU, yet the CPU never gets over 40c
[14:32] <charnel> well I am coding a php application with mod rewrite . I can view pages but when I try to visit a defined route -- admin -- I get cannot connect error.
[14:32] <charnel> Anybody knows how to solve it.
[14:35] <traco> hi
[14:35] <traco> i have problem
[14:35] <traco> Segmentation faultsts... 0% with apt-get
[14:35] <lmontrieux> charnel, you might want to look at your apache logs and see what's going on
[14:35] <superdave321> !ask | traco
[14:36] <LincKraker> anyone have a quad monitor setup with nvidia cards? i can't get desktop effects working
[14:37] <slipttees> roasted: k3b use cdrdao and brasero use wodim.
[14:37] <slipttees> :/
[14:37] <morgajel_> scarleo: ikonia: Success! /etc/default/grub, I changed acpi=noirq, then reran update-grub.
[14:37] <scarleo> morgajel_, great news!
[14:37] <roasted> slipttees: and again I ask
[14:37] <roasted> why. does. it. matter.
[14:37] <roasted> does it burn your cd? or does the cdrdao vs wodim somehow prevent you from burning cds?
[14:38] <kulhas> I am trying to setup apache and kerberos. while I have a sucessufull auth with kinit, the auth in apache server fails with:  "krb5_get_init_creds_password() failed: KDC reply did not match expectations" , I would like to see kerberos log's and what kind of user is using, but its not creating log files. can anyone help me?
[14:38] <United7> I am running Ubuntu in Vmplayer with my windows 7 machine. Everytime I lock my windows machine...Ubuntu timeout after 60 seconds...is anywhere how to fix this ?>
[14:39] <ikonia> United7: I'd contact vmware on that one, sounds like a vmware bug
[14:39] <charnel> lmontrieux, The problem I get is unable to connect so it does not log anything.
[14:39] <superdave321> United7: Try #vmware
[14:39] <compdoc> traco, try apt-get clean, then apt-get update
[14:39] <compdoc> then apt-get upgrade
[14:40] <United7> Sorry.. it is vmware player
[14:40] <lmontrieux> charnel, is apache running?
[14:40] <United7> but the timeout box appears inside Ubuntu
[14:40] <ikonia> United7: still a vmware product
[14:40] <traco> Segmentation faultsts... 0% :(
[14:40] <Netham46> Is there a way to set the unity bar to not autohide?
[14:40] <lmontrieux> charnel, look at your error log, it should tell you what's wrong. Increase log verbosity if necessary
[14:40] <compdoc> United7, doesnt sound like an ubuntu issue
[14:40] <United7> I see
[14:40] <traco> is possibol remove apt-get and reinstall it?
[14:40] <United7> but, let me show you all the screenshot
[14:41] <ikonia> traco: not really now
[14:41] <ikonia> no
[14:41] <ikonia> traco: why do you want to re-install it ?
[14:41] <ikonia> traco: you can do it through a chroot enviornment but I wouldn't advise it
[14:41] <compdoc> traco, can you ping www.google.com from that machine?
[14:41] <mbeierl> United7, it's probably something like Windows7 is suspending the vm when you lock it
[14:42] <traco> ping is work
[14:42] <asd> is there a way to browse the ubuntu software center in the terminal?
[14:43] <theadmin> asd: apt-get, apt-cache...
[14:43] <asd> thx
[14:43] <theadmin> asd: aptitude is best for a pseudo-GUI
[14:43] <minthy_fresh> asd: You could install aptitude, it has a command line gui
[14:43] <United7> this is the screenshot http://i41.tinypic.com/21n0fet.jpg
[14:43] <slipttees> roasted: quite a coincidence "cdrdao" work and "wodim" not ... remember brasero with cdrdao, never had problems.
[14:44] <minthy_fresh> theadmin: you beat me to it :)
[14:44] <slipttees> now wodim, only problems.
[14:44] <Gateway`> hello everybody, I have a problem with a database called horde. Error messages appear when I boot the system and I can't access phpmyadmin
[14:45] <alessandro_>  !list
[14:45] <someone235> there's a cli version for ubuntu one? (i'm using ubuntu server)
[14:45] <ikonia> Gateway`: define can't access
[14:45] <minthy_fresh> Gateway`: For access to phpmyadmin you could try another browser first
[14:46] <morgajel_> scarleo: ikonia: and now it's documented for prosperity: http://morgajel.net/2012/02/09/1184
[14:46] <Gateway`> ikonia, I mean that I type the login and the password and it keeps ask me the same thing, it's like that it's wrong
[14:46] <mbeierl> United7, yep.  I'd say that Windows 7 is telling the VM to shutdown.  That is either a Windows 7 or VMWare player setting somewhere.  As suggested earlier, either #vmware or #windows...  Ubuntu is doing what it is told to do and behaving correctly
[14:46] <ikonia> morgajel_: well done
[14:46] <ikonia> Gateway`: ok, so it's most likley that the database isn't running
[14:46] <United7> i see
[14:46] <Gateway`> however, when I access on command line using mysql -u root -p
[14:46] <United7> will do
[14:46] <United7> thank you
[14:46] <ikonia> Gateway`: try starting the database or accessing it via the command line
[14:46] <morgajel_> thanks for your assistance guys.
[14:46] <mbeierl> United7, for what help it, was... you're welcome :)
[14:46] <Gateway`> ikonia, done via command line
[14:46] <ikonia> Gateway`: and does it work ?
[14:46] <Gateway`> yes
[14:47] <Gateway`> ikonia, yes it does
[14:47] <ikonia> Gateway`: ok, so the database is running and the account credentials are fine, so the problem is around phpmyadmin
[14:47] <ikonia> Gateway`: make sure the session is not cached
[14:47] <ikonia> Gateway`: look in the apache logs and the mysql logs to see what's going on
[14:48] <traco> ?
[14:49] <doherty> Is it possible to configure my ssh client to not attempt certain authentication methods? (trying gssapi-with-mic & kerberos is slow & I want to skip those)
[14:49] <Gateway`> ikonia, all I can say is that many error messages apprear when I start the server, and these messages show something related to horde database
[14:50] <ikonia> Gateway`: thats not all you can say, actually look at the error messages, understand them, note them down, ask for help with them
[14:50] <ikonia> Gateway`: how are we meant to help you if the best information you can give is "there are errors"
[14:51] <Mwa> Is www.ubunut.com some kind of scam site?
[14:51] <United7> anyone can recommend a good movie editor for Ubuntu ?
[14:51] <Gateway`> ikonia, mysql log tells that a mysql process already exists
[14:51] <ikonia> Gateway`: that just means it's already running
[14:51] <ikonia> Mwa: no idea, don't care
[14:51] <ikonia> Mwa: not an ubuntu isssue
[14:51] <alessandro_> irc://irc.OpenJoke.org/B&M
[14:51] <Gateway`> ikonia, because I've already tried to restart it
[14:51] <kapz> Best way to share files/dirs between two linux machines? I have heard abt nfs a lot, but all articles related to it are old, also ubuntu does not provide it by default...so which is the best way?
[14:52] <ikonia> Gateway`: ok - so how is that relevant
[14:52] <ikonia> Gateway`: find the errors and work them through
[14:52] <alessandro_> scusate, buon serata a tutti
[14:52] <john_doe_jr> how would you use grep to remove files of a certain type?
[14:52] <ikonia> !list > alessandro_
[14:52] <lucia> http://xdcc_286
[14:52] <erik32533> i guess with ubuntu 11.10
[14:52] <ikonia> lucia: please don't paste that sort of thing here
[14:52] <erik32533> u can not remove firefox 10
[14:53] <ikonia> lucia: it's a support channel
[14:53] <petsounds> United7: i really like kdenlive
[14:53] <christofer> When trying to setup my LPB5050 printer in Ubuntu 11.04 via  network, its found by the "printing" gui and I have the  drivers, it says "idle- ready to print". But when I try to  print nothing will print, still it says it was printed? The  setup works fine from windows. What can be the problem?
[14:53] <erik32533> piece of shit version of firefox
[14:53] <ikonia> erik32533: tone down the language
[14:53] <alessandro_> grazie mille
[14:53] <erik32533> 10 aint stable

[14:53] <Gateway`> ikonia, there is no error message. I told " all what I can say... " because it happens when I start the server and it goes so quickly to note them down. Sorry for that
[14:53] <ikonia> Gateway`: forget what happens when it starts
[14:53] <ikonia> Gateway`: stop the database, - clear the log, restart it,
[14:53] <meerkats> I have alsa base installed 1.0.24, but http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=3847b3ada3e07bd8fa56e6b15aa98917b6467b31 says that there are no alsa drivers, how so?
[14:54] <Lemming> Alesque
[14:54] <ikonia> Gateway`: see what happens, look in the apache access and error log
[14:54] <erik32533> i guess go back an reinstall ubuntu 11.10
[14:54] <Gateway`> ikonia, ok
[14:54] <erik32533> this time i wont install updates
[14:54] <ikonia> erik32533: do you want help - or just to rant ?

[14:55] <Scarra3> Hey everyone
[14:55] <erik32533> it wont let me go back to firefox 8
[14:55] <ikonia> erik32533: no it won't
[14:55] <erik32533> or firefox 9
[14:56] <erik32533> ill just have to ignore the updates
[14:56] <kapz> alright let me rephrase: is nfs 'still' the best way to share files between two linux boxes, even today?
[14:56] <ikonia> erik32533: do you want help - or do you want to rant ?
[14:56] <holstein> erik32533: i typically turn off auto-updating, and the update notifications
[14:57] <TehAndrewRyan> Okay, I need some serious help with rdiff-backup here. I'm using this program to backup files on my server, and now I need to restore an old directory, but I don't have the directory anymore, just the diffs inside the 'increments' folder. Is there some way I can restore the directory using only the <file> directory inside of 'increments' ?
[14:57] <erik32533> so after fresh install of ubuntu 11.10
[14:57] <erik32533> do u run any updates
[14:57] <ikonia> erik32533: please pastebin your current /etc/apt/sources.list file
[14:57] <lucia> #ubuntu-it
[14:58] <erik32533> how do i do that
[14:58] <TehAndrewRyan> Sorry if that didn't make any sense, basically what I mean is that the directory I want to backup is located inside of the folder 'increments', but every file inside of that directory is saved as a diff. I want to be able to restore the original files using the diffs, if that's possible.
[14:58] <minthy_fresh> erik32533: If you added a ppa for Firefox 10, the you might be able to purge it with ppa-purge: http://www.google.nl/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=ppa+purge&source=web&cd=3&ved=0CEEQFjAC&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.webupd8.org%2F2010%2F08%2Fppa-purge-added-to-official-ubuntu-1010.html&ei=qt4zT8ClG9GYOpSajPoB&usg=AFQjCNFXdiwoaHltWMBo1s4WyGLxt6DdSA&sig2=66ethMiElQGGXoEC1ukTow
[14:58] <holstein> erik32533: well, i do... i run them right after installing... but you dont *need* to... if you are new to ubuntu, and want to take some time to get used to the packaging system, and how software is maintained in ubuntu
[14:58] <bigmahatma> hello. How can I block incoming or outgoing torrent traffic?
[14:58] <ikonia> you do not need a PPA
[14:58] <ikonia> there is no need for a PPA
[14:58] <holstein> bigmahatma: i would do that at the gateway.. r jut stop the torrent server/client
[14:58] <holstein> or just*
[14:59] <Scarra3> when I install ubuntu should I unplug all my usb like my wireless, external, and webcamera
[14:59] <bigmahatma> I'd need to do it locally
[14:59] <minthy_fresh> Sorry for the long URL
[14:59] <bigmahatma> and I'd wish to selectively stop incoming or outgoing traffic
[14:59] <traco> can we hel me ?
[14:59] <traco> hrlp*
[14:59] <traco> help*
[14:59] <erik32533> no ppa added
[15:00] <minthy_fresh> erik32533: Did you build it?
[15:00] <CharminTheMoose> Anyone know why when I copy a file into a tmpfs mounted directory, the RAM usage doubles or so from the size of the file? The file is a squashfs filesystem.
[15:00] <erik32533> yahoo spades crashes under firefox 10
[15:00] <ikonia> erik32533: please pastebin the sources.list file
[15:00] <ikonia> erik32533: that is a java plugin
[15:00] <smagic39> hi all

[15:00] <erik32533> it was working
[15:01] <christofer> I really need help about my printer :S
[15:01] <erik32533> then as soon i as i installed firefox 10 it stopped
[15:01] <ikonia> erik32533: tell you what, you seem to not want to give the info I'm asking for, you seem to just want to rant about how bad it is and you don't want to work through resolving it, so I suggest you do what you want, but stop going on
[15:02] <erik32533> i donmt knoew how to run that command yur asking
[15:02] <ikonia> erik32533: ok, so that's what you say instead of ignoring it
[15:02] <TehAndrewRyan> So many users, yet no answer...
[15:02] <ikonia> erik32533: open http://pastebin.ubuntu.com and then copy the contents of the /etc/apt/sources.list file into it
[15:02] <christofer> Anyone good with printers? :S
[15:02] <erik32533> im not as advanced in linux as u r
[15:02] <United7> petsounds, thanks
[15:03] <ikonia> TehAndrewRyan: so little patience, 3 minutes before moaning of no help, well done
[15:04] <erik32533> where do i find this on firefox
[15:04] <ikonia> erik32533: find what on firefox
[15:04] <alessandro_> !it
[15:04] <erik32533> the ect source files
[15:04] <ikonia> erik32533: you don't do that in firefox
[15:05] <ikonia> erik32533: you open it in the file manager
[15:07] <vooze> erik32533: I guess even OSX would be too hard for you.. maybe just go play outside?
[15:07] <ikonia> vooze: there is no need for that
[15:07] <minthy_fresh> erik32533: open the terminal and type "gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" without the quotes. Now, browse to http://pastebin.ubuntu.com and paste the contents of the file you have open in gedit here.
[15:08] <vooze> ikonia: really.. he cant understand opening a DIR? why even use your time on him, he clearly dont want help.. Just want to whine
[15:08] <christofer> Im stuck with my printer :/ problably an easy solution a pro like you guys would finde...
[15:08] <XB23> hey guys, in a cron setup 59 * * * *  that will run every hour on the 59th minute correct?
[15:08] <minthy_fresh> vooze: We all had to start once, cut him a brake
[15:08] <minthy_fresh> oops, break
[15:08] <ikonia> vooze: not mocking his capabilities is how to do it, if you dont' want to help, don't, I'm about to back away from it, but don't call him
[15:09] <XB23> for some reason seems to be run every minute
[15:09] <bazhang> christofer, what does linuxprinting.org say about your printer, check the database there
[15:09] <lacrymology> where's the time server set up? I need to change it, and I cannot find where
[15:09] <ikonia> erik32533: infact, lets do this simple please type the following
[15:10] <ikonia> erik32533: "sudo apt-get install pastebinit && sudo apt-get update | pastebinit"
[15:10] <ikonia> erik32533: please type that exactly
[15:10] <erik32533> it wont let me copy an paste the command
[15:11] <vooze> erik32533: CTRL + C
[15:11] <ikonia> erik32533: type it then
[15:11] <john_doe_jr> in a search like using find or grep is there a command to remove certain file types from your search?
[15:11] <roasted> Is there a way to make Unity ALWAYS visible? I'm running 11.10 in a VM so doing the hot corner isn't easy since the screen is larger than the VM window (so it doesn't hold my cursor, I just continue right past the hot corner area)
[15:11] <minthy_fresh> erik32533: CTRL-SHIFT v in the terminal, or right click and then paste
[15:12] <christofer> bazhang: i cant find it in the /printers/ query :S however i have drivers for it, LBP5050
[15:12] <vooze> roasted: you mean the launcher?
[15:12] <roasted> vooze: yes, my apologies
[15:12] <erik32533> one sec i got error message
[15:12] <someone235> what is the best alternative for dropbox for ubuntu server?
[15:13] <vooze> roasted: install CCSM, (if its not now) now F2 + CCSM.. then open unity config
[15:13] <erik32533> thank all of u for your help
[15:13] <holstein> someone235: owncloud? ...i thought you could run dropbox 'headless' or whatever though
[15:13] <roasted> someone235: ubuntu one is a lot like drop box
[15:13] <roasted> vooze: ah thats right.
[15:13] <roasted> vooze: I forgot that. I don't use this new fangled unity thing. but I'm not sure how well gnome shell would run in a VM so I figured I'd let unity stick around. :)
[15:13] <someone235> roasted, i can't use ubuntu one in server. it requires gnome :(
[15:14] <erik32533> ill be back in hour
[15:14] <roasted> someone235: oh on SERVER. I apologize, I'm not sure :(
[15:14] <vooze> roasted: yeah, shell is a bit tricky in VM.. but MUCH better than unity (my openion ofcouse)
[15:14] <erik32533> yall can type way faster than me
[15:14] <roasted> vooze: maybe I'll have to give it a shot then!
[15:15] <TehAndrewRyan> Alright, now I've waited far more than 3 minutes, so I suppose I'll have to ask again... I want to restore a directory using files left in the 'increments' folder, but I have no idea on how to do this.
[15:15] <roasted> vooze: I've heard gnome shell was going to drop the need for 3d support to run, but I wasn't sure if that was here *now* and what that meant for VM usage
[15:15] <vooze> roasted: after 2-3 days getting used to it, you cant live without it ;)
[15:15] <someone235> holstein, yes, but i want to choose any folder i want, and not just one folder
[15:15] <minthy_fresh> erik32533: Don't give up on Ubuntu because of this ;) it's worth the trouble
[15:15] <TehAndrewRyan> ^using rdiff-backup
[15:15] <erik32533> ill get ubuntu reinsyalled
[15:15] <minthy_fresh> Hope you get a solution later
[15:15] <roasted> vooze: whats that, gnome shell?
[15:15] <vooze> roasted: I think that was fedora only :(
[15:15] <erik32533> an never run a update
[15:16] <roasted> vooze: I'd be surprised if it would remain fedora only. To start as fedora only sounds like it'd jus be normal, since fedora always shoots sooner than others
[15:16] <zykotick9> erik32533: not running updates is a BAD idea
[15:16] <ikonia> erik32533: bye then
[15:16] <meerkats> I have alsa base installed 1.0.24, but http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=3847b3ada3e07bd8fa56e6b15aa98917b6467b31 says that there are no alsa drivers, how so?
[15:16] <ikonia> zykotick9: he doesn't want to hear and just keeps ranting this, so it's over to him
[15:16] <meerkats> I need to boot with a valid kernel installation
[15:16] <holstein> someone235: not sure i follow.. i would look into owncloud if you want a lot of customization
[15:16] <erik32533> if u aint broke u dont risk screwing it
[15:16] <vooze> roasted: yeah, but ubuntu will only run gnome shell 3.2 in 12.04 ;/
[15:16] <ikonia> erik32533: ok, good luck, if you don't want help resolving this, re-install and never update, bye
[15:17] <vooze> roasted: thats the reason i switched to archlinux
[15:17] <roasted> vooze: I'm sure 3.4 is only a PPA away.
[15:17] <JadedJacob> *my brain hurts*
[15:17] <roasted> vooze: as much as that stings, with an LTS and aiming for 100% stability, I get it. I don't LIKE it, but I "get" it.
[15:17] <erik32533> u said earlier firefox 10 cant be replace with 8 or 9
[15:17] <holstein> elldekaa: thats not a bad way to start... i think its the PPA you seem to have half added though.. *all* issues are resovable, and it gets easier as you go along :)
[15:17] <vooze> roasted: well sure, but its the idea, I guess :d
[15:17] <krasnozer> how do i prevent the screen from going to sleep, given that i don't use kde/gnome?
[15:17] <holstein> elldekaa: sorry... that was meant for erik32533
[15:18] <ikonia> erik32533: I asked you for information - you've not given it, you cannot be helped until you do
[15:18] <someone235> holstein, owncloud is like dropbox? you can use it without having your own server?
[15:18] <erik32533> yahoo spades crashes
[15:18] <vooze> roasted: well sure, but its just not for me then
[15:18] <Elune> Can anyone help me with NDISwrapper installation for BCM4313 on a Dell vostro 1550?
[15:18] <erik32533> firefox crahes under 10
[15:18] <vooze> roasted: and with linux mint going cinnamon i only had a few choices left
[15:18] <holstein> someone235: http://owncloud.org/
[15:19] <ikonia> erik32533: you've said that - still not giving the information
[15:19] <ikonia> erik32533: please don't bother saying anything else unless it is to give the information you have been requested
[15:19] <dddd> installing ndiswrapper-utils gives me a dependency error. help
[15:19] <erik32533> wish one cud take re,ote access
[15:19] <Elune> I have ndiswrapper and the driver.
[15:19] <roasted> vooze: no reason to fault that. some of us like dark beer, others like light beer. but we're all enjoying it. eh?
[15:19] <john_doe_jr> in a search like using find or grep is there a command to remove certain file types from your search?
[15:19] <Elune> Dunno how to blacklist and which ones.
[15:20] <theadmin> someone235: No, Owncloud requires you to have your own server
[15:20] <erik32533> surely ubuntu has remote access
[15:20] <christofer> When trying to setup my LPB5050 printer in Ubuntu 11.04 via  network, its found by the "printing" gui and I have the  drivers, it says "idle- ready to print". But when I try to  print nothing will print, still it says it was printed? The  setup works fine from windows. What can be the problem? ;Sorry for reposting, but I really cant find a solution;
[15:20] <ikonia> erik32533: no - that is not an option
[15:20] <someone235> i have my own server, but it is very slow.
[15:20] <erik32533> why is that
[15:20] <ikonia> erik32533: provide the information, or re-install, but either way, this needs to end
[15:21] <vooze> roasted: yeah ofcouse ;) another thing is bugs in shell (ubuntu only) with like filezilla.. reported 3 months ago, and nothing done yet.. i cant really wait 3 months for bug fixes
[15:21] <minthy_fresh> erik32533: There are people here that really want to help, but we can't actually do this for you. If you have trouble with the instructions, just go througt them with us step by step.
[15:21] <krasnozer> how do i prevent the screen from going to sleep, given that i don't use kde/gnome?
[15:21] <erik32533> i found sources list
[15:21] <holstein> elldekaa: ubuntu is open.. there are lots of VNC/remote apps... also teamviewer is easy and works great
[15:21] <roasted> vooze: haven't ran into that, but I also haven't used FTP in years...
[15:21] <minthy_fresh> erik32533: The last thing you want is to have some stranger access your machine remotely
[15:21] <erik32533> but it opens in update manager
[15:21] <ikonia> erik32533: last time I'll tell you
[15:22] <roasted> vooze: FTP to me is a lot like faxing these days. :P
[15:22] <vooze> roasted: yeah okay, its just when it "drag n' drop"
[15:22] <meerkats> what are the last stabe alsa drivers modules?
[15:22] <meerkats> which one are...?
[15:22] <ikonia> erik32533: "sudo apt-get install pastebinit && sudo apt-get update | pastebinit"
[15:22] <meerkats> number
[15:22] <vooze> roasted: haha :D fair enough.. its just for my website anyways
[15:22] <phong_> hi guys, how to unzip .7z
[15:22] <roasted> vooze: out of curiosity, is it ftp in general or just isolated to filezilla?
[15:23] <minthy_fresh> erik32533: Do you have the terminal open?
[15:23] <roasted> phong_: install 7z from software center.
[15:23] <phong_> how?
[15:23] <roasted> phong_: open software center, search for 7z, click install.
[15:23] <phong_> roasted, can i install from command?
[15:23] <holstein> elldekaa: appologies again... im on a slow connection
[15:23] <roasted> phong_: I believe so, one sec
[15:23] <phong_> ok thanks
[15:23] <Barcel0> in casper, isolinux.cfg can be add this entry: append LANG=es_ES.UTF-8 boot=casper ......... ?
[15:23] <vooze> roasted: just filezilla, as far as i know
[15:23] <phong_> roasted, how come .7z can't open with winrar for windows?
[15:23] <phong_> lol
[15:23] <Barcel0> LANG=es_ES.UTF-8 for start locale in text mode directly
[15:24] <Barcel0> ????
[15:24] <vooze> roasted: but its works perfectly in unity, thats the weird thing
[15:24] <erik32533> Unable to locate package pasteinit
[15:24] <roasted> phong_: looks like its sudo apt-get install p7zip-full
[15:24] <ikonia> erik32533: pastebinit
[15:25] <roasted> vooze: I wouldn't expect a DE to interfere with FTP
[15:25] <phong_> thanks

[15:26] <under> Hi. I would like to installa the new ubuntu 12.04 BETA . Is there a normal cd or only alternate version? Thanks !
[15:26] <phong_> how to use command to unzip .7z then
[15:27] <zykotick9> under: #ubuntu+1 (typically before release, it's alternate only i believe, but ask in +1)
[15:27] <roasted> phong_: I'm not sure. I use the gui. Google around though, it's easy, I just don't know it offhand
[15:27] <Oer> under, no normal 700 mb cd, join #Ubuntu+1 for support
[15:27] <erik32533> the oneb  character i dont recognize the line
[15:27] <phong_> well, how to use gui then
[15:27] <erik32533> which key makes the line
[15:27] <roasted> phong_: right click the zip file in question and go from there.
[15:27] <phong_> ok
[15:28] <reCAPTCHA> Hey all.... I want to disable my internal wireless card on my laptop because it keeps interfering with my wireless adapter (the internal card is pretty much busted)>
[15:28] <vooze> zykotick9: just skimmed though it.. good points but dont really see a good and easy alternative, right now
[15:28] <minthy_fresh> phong_: In the command line, use the -t7z switch
[15:29] <erik32533> another error
[15:29] <loganrun> it is weird when I drag windows around they don't seem to move until I stop moving the mouse and let up on the button.
[15:29] <zykotick9> vooze: SSH/SFTP but you're right, not "easy"
[15:30] <ton2819> reCAPTCHA: Do you have a screwdriver to hand?
[15:30] <lmontrieux> reCAPTCHA, can't you deactivate it in the bios?
[15:30] <vooze> zykotick9: well, i use SFTP alot too and thats fine.. but mostly just to access files on home NAS-server
[15:30] <reCAPTCHA> lmontrieux: I don't know, I haven't tried.
[15:31] <minthy_fresh> phong_: http://www.dotnetperls.com/7-zip-examples has the options
[15:31] <zykotick9> reCAPTCHA: if you know what driver the card is using (and assuming it's not the same for both) you could blacklist the driver
[15:31] <ton2819> lmontrieux: I was joking. Yes, you can either deactive in the BIOS or simply at the OS level
[15:31] <lmontrieux> reCAPTCHA, it's probably possible - and it will solve your problem instantly :)
[15:31] <loganrun> does anyone else have this issue with moving windows
[15:32] <ton2819> loganrun: What interface are you using? (Unity/Gnome Shell/KDE etc/)
[15:32] <vooze> loganrun: would be alot of things, what did it start?
[15:32] <loganrun> ton2819, just the default for ubuntu, think it is unity
[15:32] <reCAPTCHA> lmontrieux: Well, it's an atheros (?) (on a macbook).
[15:32] <vooze> could be alot of things *
[15:34] <loganrun> how do I change the interface to another window manager? what is the best window manager, gnome?
[15:34] <zykotick9> vooze: s/alot/a lot/  (my spelling is terrible, but the alot bugs even me)
[15:34] <holstein> loganrun: you can easily confirm if its unity or not.. you could install LXDE and test, or awesome... one of the light desktop managers... i would tend to think its 3d though with theh graphics card drivers... you could try unity2d
[15:35] <holstein> loganrun: best is a matter of opinion, i would just try a different one...
[15:35] <minthy_fresh> Guess erik32533 left... ikonia, hope it was ok for me to but in like that.
[15:35] <zeozan> Hello :D
[15:35] <loganrun> holstein, yeah o.k. what is the easiest way to swich my window mananger
[15:35] <zykotick9> holstein: i use awesome, but i'd never recommend it to anyone (it's the most difficult interface to configure I've ever used)
[15:35] <zeozan> is there any good fps games ?
[15:36] <holstein> loganrun: i would logout, and from the login window, choose unity 2d, and test
[15:36] <morphiend> anyone seen issues under unity where the "skin" for the filemanager is not loading properly?
[15:36] <loganrun> holstein, is "test" the name of a window manager?
[15:36] <ton2819> zeozan: Quake Live is very good and has lots of players
[15:36] <Barcel0> ?????????
[15:36] <loganrun> holstein, there is an option on the login screen to choose the window manager?
[15:36] <reCAPTCHA> lmontrieux: How would I go about blacklisting the airport drivers?
[15:37] <loganrun> holstein, or do you just mean test it out
[15:37] <Cojes> hey. how can I log in as "root" on my terminal?
[15:37] <holstein> zykotick9: i was actually thinking it would be simple, since it works out of the box, and requires little setup, and will likely not break anything.. as installing something like kubuntu-desktop would pull in a lot and change things drastically
[15:37] <loganrun> Cojes, sudo su
[15:37] <zykotick9> loganrun: wrong!
[15:38] <lmontrieux> reCAPTCHA, use lsmod to find which driver is loaded
[15:38] <holstein> loganrun: i was saying you should load unity-2d.. if its not installed, install that.. and test.. this will confirm if the issue is unity related or not
[15:38] <Cojes> loganrum: is say: bill is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.
[15:38] <lmontrieux> I guess the driver name should somehow give a clue (never had a macbook)
[15:38] <loganrun> holstein, got it thanks
[15:38] <lmontrieux> reCAPTCHA, then you can add said driver to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[15:38] <reCAPTCHA> lmontrieux: what am I looking for here>
[15:39] <reCAPTCHA> ?
[15:39] <vooze> zykotick9: noted. Thanks :)
[15:39] <janisozaur> hi! I remember using some GUI tool that displayed info about hard drives - their physical layout and could also show some stats, perhaps s.m.a.r.t. anyone knows the name of this tool?
[15:39] <lmontrieux> reCAPTCHA, something like 'atheros', 'ath', maybe?
[15:39] <MrKeuner> hello, how can I set apache not to run on startup on lucid?
[15:40] <Cojes> How to log in as a root on terminal on Fedora? please
[15:40] <loganrun> zykotick9, it works
[15:40] <reCAPTCHA> lmontrieux: I think its ath? Just want to make sure I don't disable something stupid.
[15:40] <zykotick9> !wfm | loganrun
[15:40] <janisozaur> Cojes, for fedora questions try rather #fedora
[15:40] <lmontrieux> reCAPTCHA, try to rmmod ath (as root). If it breaks everything just reboot
[15:41] <loganrun> zykotick9, logging in as root is hardly top secret
[15:41] <zykotick9> loganrun: the proper method would be "sudo -i"
[15:41] <holstein> Cojes: i would check in #fedora , but it should work similarly... sudo or su
[15:42] <ton2819> zykotick9: I don't think Fedora disables root access like Ubuntu
[15:42] <zykotick9> ton2819: why would Fedora be supported here?  that would be OT.
[15:42] <loganrun> zykotick9, I think that is equivelent to sudo su -
[15:43] <zykotick9> loganrun: wrong
[15:43] <MrKeuner> what is the proper way of disabling apache on boot?
[15:43] <loganrun> zykotick9, how are they different?
[15:43] <zykotick9> MrKeuner: check for an apache.conf in /etc/init/ then rename it apache.conf.disabled
[15:43] <zykotick9> loganrun: environment setup
[15:43] <MrKeuner> zykotick9, there is no apache.conf thre
[15:44] <zykotick9> MrKeuner: httpd perhaps?
[15:44] <MrKeuner> nope
[15:44] <zykotick9> MrKeuner: did you install using apt-get are did you use xampp (or similar)?
[15:44] <loganrun> zykotick9, the - specifies the root env
[15:44] <MrKeuner> zykotick9, did it for mysql.conf but apache is different for sme reason
[15:44] <MrKeuner> zykotick9, synaptic
[15:45] <MrKeuner> zykotick9, no aptitude lamp-server
[15:45] <archx> hey guys, need some help - iv installed Xubuntu but the alsamixer is set to 00 - arrow keys wont allow me to change the volumn. Any help???
[15:45] <zykotick9> loganrun: - actually simulates a login, so you're mainly right on that
[15:45] <martinjh99> anyone know of there are packages for Handbrake for Oneiric?
[15:45] <zykotick9> loganrun: just don't recommend "sudo su" or "sudo su -", as this is incorrect information
[15:45] <MrKeuner> zykotick9, sorry I have done this: sudo tasksel install lamp-server
[15:46] <zykotick9> MrKeuner: could you pastebin the contents of /etc/init/ ?
[15:46] <martinjh99> zykotick - i just do sudo -s if i want a root prompt...
[15:46] <zykotick9> !tab | martinjh99
[15:46] <zykotick9> martinjh99: "sudo -s" is fine as well!

[15:49] <loganrun> zykotick9, your probably right, but I do not see much difference from the man pages

[15:57] <tejaswidp> Why are lex and yacc installed by default on my machine?  Are there applications which use these?
[15:57] <meerkats> i need help with this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure
[15:57] <meerkats> I copied and pasted the first command, but some packages cannot be found
[15:58] <meerkats> what do I do?
[15:58] <tejaswidp> Not only lex and yacc but also flex and bison have been installed by default!
[15:58] <meerkats> linux-alsa-driver-modules-3.0.0-15-generic that one
[15:58] <user___> !ping
[15:58] <TehAndrewRyan> Still no response... Feels quite meaningless to idle here, and spamming the same question over and over again doesn't seem appropriate.
[15:59] <holstein> meerkats: whats the issue?
[15:59] <meerkats> holstein, no sound whatsoever with alsa
[15:59] <cloudgeek> zykotick9: thanks for tip that is helpful for me
[15:59] <meerkats> sound card recognized, but I lack the driver
[15:59] <Pici> tejaswidp: gcc depends on bison and flex.
[16:00] <holstein> meerkats: so, you see the device in lspci? but not in aplay -l ?
[16:00] <Wargasm> TehAndrewRyan: whats the issue? Doubt I can help but you never know
[16:00] <Chipzzz> cloudgeek: have you tried running aptitude to see if there are dependency problems?
[16:00] <cloudgeek> Chipzzz: okay :)
[16:00] <CharminTheMoose> Anyone know why when I copy a file into a tmpfs mounted directory, the RAM usage doubles or so from the size of the file? The file is a squashfs filesystem.
[16:00] <meerkats> holstein, correct
[16:00] <meerkats> holstein,
[16:00] <meerkats> http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=4194ada729a045e9a60fda810568b2f811002bd0
[16:00] <Chipzzz> cloudgeek: first "sudo aptitude", then press "e"
[16:01] <SeasluG> eerrr how do i search for software in the Ubuntu software center
[16:01] <TehAndrewRyan> Wargasm: It's about restoring a deleted directory with rdiff-backup, using only the 'increments' of the directory (I have a folder with the same name in there, but every file inside the directory I want are just diffs)
[16:01] <tejaswidp> Pici: But why lex ,flex ,yacc and bison?
[16:01] <holstein> meerkats: updating alsa is not a bad way to go.. i usually try live CD's though... i usually try the last LTS live, and in this case, 12.04 dailies as well... this helps me troubleshoot withouth breaking the current setup
[16:01] <Wargasm> TehAndrewRyan: yeah sorry, can't help... I tried though
[16:01] <TehAndrewRyan> Wargasm: At least something.
[16:02] <user___> also i read two methods of creating a mirror, using 2 step rsync and apt-mirror which to follow better?
[16:02] <meerkats> holstein, have you taken a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure? I copied the whole command of step 1 for 11.10, but there are some nonfound packages
[16:02] <holstein> meerkats: you have JACK installed? is it still running somewhere?
[16:02] <meerkats> what do I do, go through? stop?
[16:02] <Guest62017> im right here!
[16:03] <Pici> tejaswidp: apt-cache rdepends packagename   can tell you what packaged depend on a certain package
[16:03] <meerkats> holstein, that was from a long time ago, should I disable it? I dont even remember what for
[16:03] <Wargasm> TehAndrewRyan: usually ActionParsnip is quite knowledgeable so when he shows up you can ask him and maybe he can help
[16:03] <tejaswidp> Pici: thank you for the info!
[16:03] <holstein> meerkats: you can look at your running processes to make sure its not running ... JACK
[16:03] <meerkats> jack
[16:03] <meerkats> The program 'jack' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
[16:03] <meerkats> sudo apt-get install jack
[16:04] <meerkats> opening system monitor
[16:04] <holstein> meerkats:  http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=4194ada729a045e9a60fda810568b2f811002bd0 says JACK *is* installed
[16:04] <user___> can anyone hear me?
[16:04] <holstein> anyways... thats likely not the issue then... i would *not* install a list of applications to troubleshoot sound
[16:05] <holstein> user___: just aks.. we see you typing yes...
[16:05] <meerkats> holstein, I dont see jack running in system monitor...
[16:05] <holstein> ask*
[16:06] <holstein> meerkats: OK... like i said, i would use LIVE CD's.. i find that by the time i figure out what is actually the issue, i have alsa all messed up, or something mis-configured
[16:06] <meerkats> all my problems started when I was trying to play bart vs space mutants with kegafusion, kegafusion uses oss,
[16:06] <user___> holstein: ok
[16:06] <meerkats> live usb...
[16:07] <Chipzzz> meerkats: are you looking at all processes or just your own?
[16:07] <holstein> meerkats: that makes me think this is a configuration issue then... if you "broke" it, you dont need to troubleshoot the sound then.. just undo whatever config you did to run/setup kegafusion
[16:07] <theadmin> meerkats: To use OSS apps with Pulseaudio you can run them with "padsp", like this: padsp /path/to/app
[16:08] <zykotick9> meerkats: did you install OSS on your system?
[16:08] <Dr_willis> kegafusion may have some 'use alsa' setting also.,
[16:08] <user___> !mirror
[16:09] <meerkats> afraid noob cannot provide good answers: a year ago or so I installed kegafusion and some roms, then ignored the whole thing until yesterday, when I wanted to play a rom, and right after that sound problems started. I dont even remember how I installed kegafusion, or if I installed oss
[16:10] <cloudgeek> zykotick9: have you use cpanel , i want to setup a hosting service on laptop , i have static ip from university and a connection
[16:10] <meerkats> playing with kegafusion, sound problem started
[16:10] <cloudgeek> zykotick9: also have a ubuntu server
[16:10] <zykotick9> cloudgeek: i've never used cpanel
[16:10] <Dr_willis> sound was working BEFOR you started kegafusion?    it was working normally befor you launched it?
[16:11] <meerkats> Dr_willis, yes
[16:11] <cloudgeek> zykotick9: what is alternative of that ,that provide in ease of use same like cpanel
[16:11] <zykotick9> cloudgeek: i have no idea
[16:11] <Wargasm> meerkats I had the problem when I installed alsamixer... fixed some problems and created others
[16:11] <Dr_willis> if a reboot dosewnt 'fix' it. id try making a new user. if sound works for the new user. then its a user setting.
[16:11] <meerkats> I dont have oss installed (the oss4-base package)
[16:11] <Chipzzz> cloudgeek: webmin
[16:12] <Dr_willis> !ebox

[16:14] <Steevca> zykotick9 ubuntu-10.04.3-desktop-i386
[16:14] <Dr_willis> meerkats:  so i would make a new user. reboot. slogin as the new user. see if sound works for them

[16:39] <JadedJacob> Finally got ubuntu running on the live CD with out having to use acpi=off or any screen corruption!
[16:40] <Chipzzz> MonkeyDust: nmap says that port 6667 at freenode.org is closed
[16:40] <JadedJacob> i tried re-seating the video card and installing the live CD onto a flashdrive using a USB 2.0 pci card, now it works
[16:41] <userdatauser> zeozan: OpenArena
[16:41] <madmax_x> hello world...i have a second hard drive in my ubuntu tower...what would be the easiest way to install ubuntu to this second drive for use in a differant tower?
[16:41] <zeozan> ok
[16:41] <JadedJacob> ubuntu tower?
[16:42] <userdatauser> probally means a desktop tower
[16:42] <compdoc> madmax_x, remove the drive from the tower, install it in the new system, and install
[16:43] <compdoc> ubuntu
[16:43] <madmax_x> compdoc thats the obvious solution but i dont have that tower here
[16:44] <madmax_x> im mailing the drive to someone
[16:44] <nottheoilrig> i can configure policy routing with "ip route ..." and "ip rule ..."
[16:44] <madmax_x> i dont have the new tower
[16:44] <nottheoilrig> where is the correct place to put these commands  so they "stick" when i reboot?
[16:45] <compdoc> madmax_x, you dont want to install ubuntu on the wrong drive, or have the installer mess with your grub, so I would unplug the existing OS drive
[16:45] <goathouse774> Test
[16:45] <pangolin> madmax_x: install to the drive, when install is completed reboot and don't install any proprietary drivers.
[16:46] <pangolin> madmax_x: to be really sure you get grub on the proper drive, remove the existing drive that already has ubuntu on t.
[16:46] <madmax_x> ya thats what i was afraid of compdoc...i guess ill use a VM
[16:46] <pangolin> it*
[16:46] <compdoc> madmax_x, and what would a vm do for you?
[16:46] <madmax_x> i thought there was a way to manually install
[16:47] <compdoc> no
[16:47] <madmax_x> you can boot a physical disc with a vm and attach an iso
[16:47] <madmax_x> think of it as a walled garden
[16:47] <compdoc> doesnt help when youre installing an OS to a drive
[16:47] <pangolin> madmax_x: unplug the drive that is in the machine, boot from live cd or USB and install to the new drive. This is the simplest way.
[16:48] <meerkats> testing sound, no sound at all, Im playing a video, even I try to tune the volume up, the bar will always be shown as muted

[16:48] <meerkats> incidentally, alsamixer comes together with the alsa-base package, right?
[16:48] <JadedJacob> I've installed lubuntu, but it doesn't show the grub boot loader.
[16:48] <JadedJacob> It just goes straight to the OS
[16:49] <Steevca> I have just installed ubuntu 10.4.3 and i can't get the network to work.I have a ehernet connection and the icon on ubuntu is like i have wirelles.What can be the problem?
[16:49] <JadedJacob> (I only have 1 OS installed)
[16:49] <Chipzzz> MonkeyDust: I scanned all the popular ports there and they don't have an irc server running on any of them... maybe it's down for a while
[16:49] <abdi> JadedJacob, you have press shit right before boot
[16:49] <abdi> JadedJacob, sorry shift
[16:49] <Steevca> Aahhahaha.
[16:49] <alessandro> good evening
[16:51] <utab> where are the fonts -adobe-courier-bold-r-normal--14-**
[16:51] <minthy_fresh> adnap_:
[16:51] <minthy_fresh> oops...
[16:51] <utab> I am going mad I could not locate them anyh
[16:51] <utab> anywhere
[16:51] <MonkeyDust> Chipzzz: fair enough, but on what port is connected now, then?
[16:51] <minthy_fresh> abdi : Nice Freudian slip :)
[16:52] <CharminTheMoose> Anyone know why when I copy a file into a tmpfs mounted directory, the RAM usage doubles or so from the size of the file?
[16:52] <LazyAngel> What is included in the "Basic Ubuntu Server" package?
[16:52] <JadedJacob> thanks
[16:53] <Steevca> Can anyone help me with my problem?
[16:53] <madmax_x> whats up Steevca
[16:53] <Chipzzz> MonkeyDust: you must not be connected to freenode.org... probably irc.ubuntu.com
[16:53] <Steevca> I have just installed ubuntu 10.4.3 and i can't get the network to work.I have a ehernet connection and the icon on ubuntu is like i have wirelles.What can be the problem?
[16:54] <mustafaerhann> hellooo there.
[16:54] <MonkeyDust> Chipzzz: ok, i did not know that is different
[16:54] <madmax_x> Steevca, what happens when you click on it
[16:54] <madmax_x> does it show wired/wirells connections
[16:54] <Chipzzz> MonkeyDust: as I suggested earlier, change your ~/.irssi/config so that the port for ubuntu is 8001 and you'll be ok
[16:55] <Steevca> It shows wired connection eth1 i thnik but when i click i loads,and loads and stop working.
[16:55] <Steevca> There are also some names and under dissconected.
[16:56] <madmax_x> Steevca, is one auto eth1
[16:56] <Steevca> madmax_x Yes
[16:56] <madmax_x> Steevca, have you tried that (or any others in the disconnected
[16:57] <alessandro> !list
[16:57] <Steevca> I have just that one.
[16:57] <Steevca> And when i click the icon starts to "move" and after a minute or two stops working.
[16:57] <utab> any ideas on where to find -adobe-courier-bold-r-normal--* fonts
[16:58] <Steevca> And the small scren on the next popu out dissconected.
[16:58] <madmax_x> Steevca, right-click edit connections, edit the eth1 setting, make sure it is setup with automatic IP
[16:58] <JadedJacob> ubuntu keeps changing my resolution when i restart, i'll try switching to proprietary drivers and see if it makes any difference.
[16:58] <madmax_x> Steevca, edit>ipv4 tab>automatic (DHCP)
[16:59] <fetzbeast> http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/galactic-federation-of-light-permission-to-arrest-members-of-the-cabal-illuminati/
[16:59] <Steevca> madmax_x ok,one sec i have to rebote.
[17:01] <wondering> good day.. Is anyone here that can help me recognize a music player.. I have a creative mp3 that when usb plugged in, isn't recognized by the My Computer???  But it is "seen" because it is charging...
[17:02] <Dr_willis> wondering:  it may have some 'disk drive mode' in its menus. check dmesg output when you plug it in.
[17:02] <JadedJacob> Is it a "drag and drop" player, or does it use specialized software like Windows Media Player or Itunes?
[17:03] <wondering> didn't need it with windows.  wondering if I am missing something.  sys is fully updated?
[17:03] <Dr_willis> It could support both ways
[17:03] <Dr_willis> could need some drivers that you somehow installed in windows also. but that would be a little odd.
[17:04] <meerkats> Oer, installed oss4, now what?
[17:04] <CharminTheMoose> Anyone know why when I copy a file into a tmpfs mounted directory, the RAM usage doubles or so from the size of the file? Say I have a 300mb file, I copy it and free reports 600MB used as cache afterwards. :/
[17:04] <Oer> meerkats, now you should be able to select oss4
[17:04] <theadmin> wondering: It's not necessarily "seen" if it's charging. A charging means it just found a power source. Which it always will.
[17:05] <wondering> got it.. thx all.. The mp3 was dead.. dont think it had enough juice to be recognized... NOW it is.. THx all for what you do.\
[17:05] <JadedJacob> wondering: Silly question, but is the mp3 player, plugged directly into the usb port, or is it plugged into a hub?
[17:06] <utab> any ideas on where to find -adobe-courier-bold-r-normal--* fonts
[17:06] <erase> does anyone know of a app like knemo for ubuntu ?
[17:07] <erase> bandwidth statistics
[17:07] <theadmin> erase: KNemo works fine in Ubuntu (it's a Linux app)
[17:08] <erase> theadmin, it's a KDE app. i can't get it to autostart on Unity

[17:11] <JadedJacob> how do i show x server who's boss ? :}
[17:13] <BillCod> When I installed Linux, I used the option "Encrypted Files". Can that be changed now?
[17:14] <goathouse774> Is Ubuntu working well on Android yet?
[17:14] <Chipzzz> does anyone know how I can modify the menu entries in unity (I want to add a gksudo in front of one of the apps)
[17:14] <theadmin> goathouse774: That doesn't make sense... Android is an OS, just like Ubuntu is
[17:15] <vallis> hey guys. have a question i bet you can answer quick. I am trying to local nfs share a sshfs path. i am getting permission denied. when the sshfs is not mounted it works so i know its not a exports issue. any ideas?
[17:15] <vallis> ex i have a main server everything sshfs to. i want to nfs it to my other satellite boxs
[17:15] <goathouse774> There's a ubuntu installer for rooted devices on the market.  why couldn't you switch between the two OS?
[17:16] <pangolin> Chipzzz: in ~/Desktop you will see .desktop files, edit the proper one.
[17:16] <blitz> where can I tell what packages come standard with ubuntu 11.10?
[17:16] <Nach0z> blitz: if your ubuntu installation is brand-new you should do dpkg -l
[17:17] <blitz> it isnt
[17:17] <Chipzzz> pangolin: I thought of that but there aren't any .desktop files on my desktop
[17:18] <Chipzzz> pangolin: none in ~/ either :(
[17:19] <JadedJacob> after applying updates in ubuntu
[17:19] <pangolin> Chipzzz: .desktops files are hidden, I am assuming you are opening ~/Desktop with nautilus, hit ctr;-h to view the hidden files
[17:19] <JadedJacob> Do I need to boot into rescue mode and run grub-update
[17:19] <pangolin> ctrl+h
[17:19] <JadedJacob> I mean, 'update-grub'
[17:19] <Chipzzz> pangolin: I know, and I see other hidden files but no .desktop anywhere :(
[17:20] <zgr> how to find out what program created directory inside my ~/
[17:20] <pangolin> Chipzzz: :/
[17:20] <vallis> i g uess i should start with: is it possible to local nfs mount a sshfs directory?
[17:21] <Dr_willis> nfs mount a sshfs? You share via nfs a mounted sshfs?
[17:22] <Scarra3> I have a Netgear WNDA3100v2 for a wireless card that I want to use on my desktop for wireless but ubuntu 11.10 doesn't seem to have a driver for it
[17:22] <ActionParsnip> Scarra3: how does it connect to the system?
[17:22] <Scarra3> USb
[17:22] <Scarra3> *USB
[17:22] <Dr_willis> Scarra3:  you need to determine the chipset its using. thats more imporntant then the brand.
[17:22] <LmAt> usb
[17:23] <Scarra3> Dr_willis: How do I determine that
[17:23] <ActionParsnip> Scarra3: run:    lsusb    and use the 8 character hex ID to find guides.
[17:23] <Dr_willis> You may want to check the askubuntu.com site for that exact device. see if anyone else has messed with it. or check the forums.
[17:23] <ActionParsnip> Scarra3: most times, Netgear uses ndiswrapper (ndisgtk) plus the windows driver
[17:23] <JadedJacob> How can I improve flash playback?
[17:24] <JadedJacob> I'm getting dropped frames
[17:24] <cloudgeek> where i can found mysqld
[17:24] <cloudgeek> so i can edit that
[17:24] <Scarra3> Dr_willis: lsusb says netgear WNDA3100 v2 Droadcom BC M4323
[17:24] <alexsimon877> whats the ubuntu dev channel?
[17:25] <ActionParsnip> JadedJacob: what is the output of:  uname -a; lsb_release -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'      use http://pastie.com
[17:25] <zgr> is it possible to find out what program created directory inside my ~/? Audiobooks for example
[17:25] <ActionParsnip> !broadcom | JadedJacob
[17:26] <ActionParsnip> JadedJacob: Netgear have bough a wifi chip from Broadcom and made that adapter, try not to get hung up on what is printed on the plastic case, its not very useful for finding drivers in Linux
[17:26] <JadedJacob> ubottu: how do you know i'm running a broadcom chipset?
[17:26] <Chipzzz> cloudgeek: "locate mysqld"
[17:26] <ActionParsnip> JadedJacob: read your output, then read what ubottu said.
[17:26] <rymate1234> hello!
[17:26] <rymate1234> I have a small issue
[17:26] <rick_> ok can any one help me use ubuntu 11.10 to change a ora file to image file
[17:27] <rymate1234> I would like to install http://www.levien.com/type/myfonts/inconsolata.html
[17:27] <herodude> error: unknown filesystem
[17:27] <herodude> grub rescue >
[17:27] <rymate1234> how would I go about doing that?
[17:27] <tiox> I've been askng this question for days looking for a straight answer. I compiled a package with a modified control file, Debian Wheezy's ZSNES 1.51 to function on Ubuntu without having to seek out an obscure update to ia32-libs. When I do install it, it does install, but debconf pops up at the last second (Not sure why there) and unlike other packages, this one doesn't want to provide the option to reinstall in case of install failure.
[17:27] <cloudgeek> Chipzzz: write in bash
[17:27] <tiox> Can I fix this, and how?
[17:27] <Chipzzz> cloudgeek: yes
[17:27] <ActionParsnip> rick_: what is an ora file?
[17:27] <tiox> It's kinda irrelevant, more for user-friendliness and experience consistency.
[17:27] <JadedJacob> haha, I didn't realise I was talking to a bot.
[17:28] <Chipzzz> cloudgeek: you'll probably find it in /etc or /usr/share
[17:28] <JadedJacob> ubottu cheers for the url ;)
[17:28] <Steevca> madmax_x
[17:28] <rymate1234> so yea
[17:28] <cloudgeek> Chipzzz: under share yeah
[17:28] <rymate1234> How to install this font http://www.levien.com/type/myfonts/inconsolata.html
[17:28] <madmax_x> Steevca, ya
[17:28] <rick_> its a file generated by the my paint program in software center
[17:28] <ActionParsnip> !font | rymate1234

[17:28] <rick_> i want to publish my paint work on face book
[17:29] <ActionParsnip> rick_: try installing imagemagick and run:   convert whateverfileyouhave outputname.png
[17:29] <Steevca> madmax_x i have tried what you gave me and it's already setup like that.I have tried folowing a tut from the web and this is what i got http://paste.ubuntu.com/835463/
[17:29] <JadedJacob> ActionParsnip: thanks, i'm just running some updates at the moment, will post that command you sent me soon.
[17:29] <mongy> tiox, try the smaxein ppa version, I use it on my 64bit ubuntu
[17:29] <rick_> i beleave it will only accept image file
[17:29] <ActionParsnip> JadedJacob: no worries, having a wired link makes it a lOT easier
[17:29] <rymate1234> LOL
[17:29] <rymate1234> never thought it would be that easy
[17:29] <rymate1234> ActionParsnip: thx
[17:29] <rick_> how do i install imagemagick
[17:30] <ActionParsnip> rymate1234: a simple search for:  ubuntu font  would have given the same links...
[17:30] <ActionParsnip> rick_: same way as any other package..
[17:30] <rick_> soft ware center???
[17:30] <ActionParsnip> rick_: yes1
[17:30] <madmax_x> Steevca, there is no dhcp werver on your lan
[17:31] <madmax_x> are you at work/school?
[17:31] <Steevca> madmax_x i am at home.
[17:31] <madmax_x> is your house setup with mac filtering
[17:32] <Steevca> madmax_X nope
[17:33] <JadedJacob> how many different versions of flash player are there for linux?
[17:33] <meerkats> how do I establich oss as the default sound architecture with the command line? alsamixer doesnt exist in my machine, but alsa-base is installed, gnomealsamixer is installed, but if open, it only shows a blank screen and if I try to use any function, it segfaults
[17:33] <madmax_x> are you doing anything weird like trying to connect your xbox via cat5 to share your wifi?
[17:33] <cloudgeek> Chipzzz: can you help reset password for my root plz
[17:33] <madmax_x> cloudgeek, did you set your root passwod to begin with?
[17:34] <Steevca> madmax_x I don't have an xbox or a wifi.
[17:34] <cloudgeek> madmax_x: first i close and start mysql again then i put  sudo mysql -u root
[17:34] <cloudgeek> ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
[17:34] <madmax_x> Steevca, do you have a router or are you trying to connect to a dsl modem
[17:34] <rick_> i cannot find imagemagick
[17:34] <Oer> cloudgeek, there is no rootaccount in ubuntu, it is disabled.
[17:34] <Steevca> madmax_x a dsl modem.
[17:34] <llutz> cloudgeek: mysql -u root -p
[17:34] <madmax_x> Steevca, whats at the other end of your ethernet cable
[17:34] <Oer> !root
[17:35] <madmax_x> \me facepalm
[17:35] <cloudgeek> madmax_x: soory then i skip grant table 1
[17:35] <mongy> rick_,  apt-cache policy imagemagick says it's in the repo for my 11.10
[17:35] <cloudgeek> yep i have a dsl modem
[17:35] <meerkats> alsa force reload in the terminal will unmute, temporarily, the sound icon
[17:36] <Chipzzz> cloudgeek: restart the machine, hold down the shift key while it's booting and get the grub menu... start ubuntu in rescue mode and you'll be able to reset it
[17:36] <JokesOnYou77> Hi all
[17:36] <madmax_x> Steevca, http://bit.ly/z94tLb
[17:36] <cloudgeek> i am using ubuntu 11.10 server but not able reset my password , i forget my password
[17:36] <llutz> cloudgeek: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/resetting-permissions.html
[17:36] <cloudgeek> Chipzzz: okay try to do same
[17:36] <madmax_x> cloudgeek, boot into single user mode
[17:37] <john_doe_jr> test
[17:37] <Steevca> madmax_x Thanks
[17:37] <tiox> cloudgeek: There are two things, both of which this channel will frown upon you for doing, so I will PM instead.
[17:37] <llutz> cloudgeek: resetting systems password won't affect mysql
[17:37] <JokesOnYou77> I'm using Ubuntu server 11.10 and I
[17:37] <cloudgeek> madmax_x: i don't want rest my root password i want reset for my sql one
[17:38] <llutz> cloudgeek: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/resetting-permissions.html
[17:38] <madmax_x> cloudgeek, oh idk
[17:38] <bigpresh> I run an official Ubuntu mirror which is likely to be changing IP in the near future; anyone know if I need to inform anyone of this in advance, or who I should talk to?
[17:38] <ActionParsnip> cloudgeek: use:  sudo -i    and you can run what you wish :)
[17:38] <JokesOnYou77> I'm using Ubuntu server 11.10 with no gui and I'd like to see my total network usage since power on, is that possible?
[17:38] <llutz> ActionParsnip: how should that help to reset mysql-passwords?
[17:39] <ActionParsnip> llutz: you will need the access to run the sql command
[17:39] <JokesOnYou77> bigpresh: sounds like you might want to give Canonical a call
[17:39] <ActionParsnip> JokesOnYou77: ntop may help
[17:39] <bigpresh> JokesOnYou77: ifconfig should show you the bytes transferred and received; the counters can roll over though, I believe
[17:40] <Nach0z> hey what was the first version of Ubuntu that used grub2?
[17:40] <llutz> ActionParsnip: no
[17:40] <ActionParsnip> llutz: so users can run the sql password reset command/
[17:40] <rick_> ok its installed now i cant find it to open it
[17:40] <_monk_> it may
[17:40] <JokesOnYou77> @ActionParsnip and bigpresh thank you both
[17:41] <pangolin> Nach0z: 10.10 iirc
[17:41] <ActionParsnip> JokesOnYou77: np
[17:41] <lordjj> 40GB for / (including home and everything) should be enough (knowing that I store all my media on other partitions) right?
[17:41] <Nach0z> pangolin: hm. 'cuz EasyBCD claims fedora16 is the first linux distro to use grub2. I'm FAIRLY sure ubuntu 10.10 came out before fedora 16.
[17:42] <ActionParsnip> rick_: run:  convert inputfilename outputfilename      chnage the file names as you need
[17:42] <mongy> I thought 9.10 was first to use grub2 (grub v1.99)
[17:42] <mufflon> hello all, does "screenlets" work with openbox/lxde?
[17:42] <andygraybeal> does anyone know if the power regression issues in upstream debian will be fixed before ubuntu 12.04 release?
[17:42] <andygraybeal> should i go to +1 ?  i didn't think of this till after i asked.
[17:43] <CharminTheMoose> Anyone know why when I copy a file into a tmpfs mounted directory, the RAM usage doubles or so from the size of the file? Say I have a 300mb file, I copy it and free reports 600MB used as cache afterwards. :/
[17:43] <JokesOnYou77> ActionParsnip: Hang on, if I try to install ntop it looks like it wants to install X, which I'm really not interested in doing, does ntop require a gui?
[17:43] <_monk_> blackbox
[17:43] <_monk_> whats your opinion?
[17:43] <ActionParsnip> JokesOnYou77: shouldn't do, its a CLI app.... let me search :)
[17:44] <ActionParsnip> _monk_: works well
[17:44] <llutz> JokesOnYou77: "apt-cache depends ntop"
[17:44] <_monk_> indeed
[17:44] <tiox> cloudgeek's problem is solved and I gave him the means to also lock down root when He is done faffing off. Though, He can't blame us if someone hijacks his system. :P
[17:44] <bigpresh> JokesOnYou77: vnstat may also be worth a look; it doesn't meet your requirement of just showing usage since boot, though
[17:45] <tiox> Oh hi cloudgeek. Hopemy answer was satisfactory.
[17:45] <JadedJacob> ActionParsnip: my chipset is ralink rt73
[17:45] <JokesOnYou77> ActionParsnip: this is what it wants to install: http://paste.ubuntu.com/835490/
[17:45] <cloudgeek> tiox: yep
[17:46] <JokesOnYou77> ActionParsnip: or rather, those are the new packages that will be installed
[17:46] <cloudgeek> BTW what does sudo -i means
[17:46] <sun_devil> installing NTP package
[17:46] <tiox> the -i switch basically gives you root in terminal.
[17:46] <rick_>  ActionParsnip did you mean type that in terminal
[17:46] <tiox> So insyead of user@node$, it becomes user@node# (# meaning root)
[17:47] <cloudgeek> tiox: okay how it differ from sudo -s sudo -su
[17:47] <JokesOnYou77> ActionParsnip: so not all of xorg, but I can't imagine why it wants the fonts and a total of 22.7 MB of disk space
[17:47] <ActionParsnip> JokesOnYou77: what is the size of the packages to install..
[17:47] <ActionParsnip> JokesOnYou77: yikes
[17:47] <tiox> Not sure. But the Ubuntu documentation encourages using sudo for single commands.
[17:47] <sun_devil> hee hee
[17:47] <ActionParsnip> rick_: yes but change it obviously
[17:47] <mongy> cloudgeek, http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6188826&postcount=4
[17:47] <sun_devil> trying to use cups to print
[17:47] <Chipzzz> cloudgeek: it's specific to ubuntu because of the way ubuntu creates its root user
[17:47] <ActionParsnip> JokesOnYou77: may help: http://www.hecticgeek.com/2011/12/command-line-based-network-bandwidth-usage-monitor-ubuntu-linux/
[17:48] <JokesOnYou77> ActionParsnip: yeah, my thoughts exactly.  It's not like I don't have the disk space, I do, it's just that this seems fishy, and I'd rather run a clean system if possible

[17:49] <cloudgeek> :) thanks all again
[17:49] <tiox> cloudgeek: They mean well.
[17:49] <llutz> JokesOnYou77: ifconfig eth0|grep "RX bytes"                 no need to install anything
[17:50] <tiox> After answering the same questions for ten years, you'd say "STFU & RTFM" too.
[17:50] <ActionParsnip> JokesOnYou77: oh absolutely :)
[17:50] <tiox> Both, of course, discouraged (and kick-worthy) terms here.

[17:50] <pangolin> tiox: if you are so aware of the rules, why break them?
[17:50] <ActionParsnip> rick_: looks good, if imagemagick can read the file it will be converted
[17:50] <dies_irae>  what was the part to delete in order to have pulseaudio working again?
[17:51] <dies_irae> it went off
[17:51] <tiox> I was using it as an example, not directed toward anyone, you scary anteater.
[17:51] <cloudgeek> STFU & RTFM what is meaning of this
[17:51] <JokesOnYou77> ActionParsnip and bigpresh vnstat looks like exactly what I wanted.  I'm going to need to take a look at the configuration file, but it really looks great
[17:51] <rick_> ActionParsnip: it said run:command not found
[17:51] <dies_irae> cloudgeek: that no nice
[17:51] <tiox> cloudgeek: Never mind.
[17:51] <tiox> \If you really wanna know, put them after define: in a google search.
[17:51] <ActionParsnip> rick_: remove the words 'input' and 'output'
[17:51] <JokesOnYou77> llutz: I'll give that a try as well.  grep really is amazing
[17:52] <dies_irae> there was a file to delete about pulseaudio in order to have it working again.
[17:52] <tiox> But now noise > signal and it's best to get back on topic.
[17:52] <ActionParsnip> dies_irae: try:   killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse*    wait a few seconds then retry sound
[17:53] <dies_irae> ActionParsnip: thanks, lol I think it was u who told me last time.
[17:53] <rick_> ActionParsnip: still says run :: command not found

[17:54] <cloudgeek> dies_irae: thanks for me that is enough that is not nice,But i never use google tough
[17:54] <rick_> no i type exacly what i said above

[17:57] <xyst> Hi.  Does anyone have a good working reference for how to network-install Ubuntu?  I've found a few, and I can already PXEboot/etc, but the installer is failing now and I can't find a reason why on google.
[17:57] <xyst> (10.04.3 in this case)
[17:57] <Pici> rick_: Whats an .ora file?
[17:58] <sun_devil> Is it easy to send a print job to a home network printer...Kodak
[17:58] <rick_> its a file for the my paint program in the software center
[17:59] <Pici> rick_: Its not likely that imagemagick will be able to process that.  Can you not save it as a more generic filetype from Open Raster?
[18:00] <rick_> how do i do that
[18:00] <Pici> rick_: Or whichever program you're using?

[18:01] <dewar> hello, i wonder if some can help me, i ran a program on kubuntu and now the boxes flash on and off when i move the mouse over it
[18:01] <zykotick9> sun_devil: what does Network Time Protocol (NTP) have to do with CUPS?
[18:02] <Pici> rick_: Oh. I misread. You're using "My Paint".  I'd be very surprised if the Save As... menu item doesn't support saving as PNG. See http://mypaint.intilinux.com/?page_id=3
[18:02] <SyL> I'm trying get vhosts and modrewrite to work on ubuntu 11.10, any pages I should be looking at?

[18:05] <esuave> question.. how come when i enter a command in terminal it sits... than i have to hit another key for it to show the results..
[18:05] <JTS000ID> I have a Lenovo W520 and I need to install Ubuntu. The Ubuntu Partners page my laptop is compatible with the Pre-Installed image. I called Lenovo and they say they don't support Ubuntu. The Ubuntu website says W520 is compatible with 10.10 (pre-installed only, with notes).
[18:06] <esuave> for example.. when i type: w... it sits.. than i have to hit like the spacebar key to see the results
[18:06] <sun_devil> Kerberos wants authorization and time stamp of tickets has to be correct, that is NTP
[18:06] <axisys> how come thunderbird launcher icon does not show selected like the other apps and also does not show in alt+tab
[18:06] <JTS000ID> if I install the most recent version of Ubuntu - my battery life is shrunk to couple of hours
[18:06] <JTS000ID> shall I install 10.10

[18:08] <esuave> Pici: yep
[18:08] <zykotick9> !gnash | JadedJacob
[18:08] <memand> zykotick9, it's in 10.somthing
[18:09] <zykotick9> memand: then catting won't work.  Good luck.
[18:09] <CharminTheMoose> Anyone know why when I copy a file into a tmpfs mounted directory, the RAM usage doubles or so from the size of the file? Say I have a 300mb file, I copy it and free reports 600MB used as cache afterwards. :/
[18:09] <memand> zykotick9, thanks -_-
[18:09] <sun_devil> Anyone ever use CUPS for printing?
[18:10] <Pici> esuave: I've never seen anything like that before.  Have you by chance been playing with your environment variables? Has this ever worked?
[18:10] <JTS000ID> anyone?
[18:10] <Oer> sun_devil, obviously we all do, cups is standard in linux.
[18:10] <sun_devil> Your right
[18:11] <esuave> Pici: yeah i know it is weird.. i havnt been playing with any variables.. ill dig deeper to see if i can find anything
[18:11] <Pici> esuave: Let me know if you figure it out.  I'm curious now.
[18:11] <esuave> Pici: will do!
[18:12] <bullgard4> [Ubuntu 11.10] '<user>@<hostanme>: ~$ sudo shutdown now; ... The system will be shut down now for maintenance purposes!  ... * Asking all remaining processes to terminate [fail] ... 'The system is going down for maintenance NOW!' Actually the system does not shut down. Why can this  'sudo shutdown' not terminate all processes?
[18:12] <zykotick9> bullgard4: "sudo shutdown -h now"
[18:14] <mivulf> i want to open every .txt file in vim (runned on terminal), when I double-clicking on them. How can i make it? (ubuntu 11.10)
[18:14] <axisys> thunderbird does not get the focus with alt+tab (switching applications)
[18:14] <zykotick9> mivulf: use something like "gnome-terminal -e vim"
[18:14] <axisys> is this a bug?
[18:15] <mbeierl> CharminTheMoose, is the tmpfs ram-backed?  Cache from reading the file from the original and then the ramfs backed tmpfs, perhaps?
[18:15] <bullgard4> zykotick9: 'man  shutdown': "-h     Requests that the system be either halted or powered off after it has been brought down, with the choice as to which left up to the system." <- What does here mean "to bring down"?
[18:15] <etheretic2> why is pulseaudio hardwired to the ubuntu system? it's lo-fi!!!
[18:15] <zykotick9> bullgard4: -h actually turns the computer off
[18:16] <badwolf65> ola
[18:16] <zykotick9> etheretic2: it's actually a requirement of gnome these days
[18:16] <zykotick9> !es | badwolf65
[18:16] <bullgard4> zykotick9: I accept although I don't understand.
[18:17] <mbeierl> esuave, is it that the display lags, or there really is no output?  Is this in a gnome-terminal, x-term, or...?  What happens if you attempt to copy-n-paste the output using the mouse to select over the text that ought to be there?
[18:17] <kulhas> is this the official channel of ubuntu ?
[18:17] <aeon-ltd> kulhas: yes
[18:18] <mbeierl> bullgard4, is your question "why does it not power off", or "why are some processes still running and the shutdown never completes?"
[18:18] <etheretic> zykotick9: so there are an unholy alliance between the pulse/gnome/ubuntu developers? haven't mentioned unity yet...
[18:18] <esuave> mbeierl: when i input a command for example: w, i hit enter.. and it moves to the next line.. than just sits there.. if i hit spacebar it processes the command and shows me the results of w
[18:19] <zykotick9> etheretic: it's NOT ubuntu specific, it's Gnome
[18:19] <mivulf> zykotick: exactly "gnome-terminal -e vim"?
[18:19] <kulhas> !1+2
[18:19] <zykotick9> !tab | mivulf
[18:19] <aeon-ltd> mivulf: yes
[18:19] <etheretic> zykotick9: erk.
[18:19] <bullgard4> mbeierl: My question focuses more on: ""why are some processes still running and the shutdown never completes?"
[18:19] <aeon-ltd> mivulf: that's if you use gnome terminal of course
[18:19] <mbeierl> esuave, and input the command into...?  What type of interface?  gnome-terminal, xterm, tty (ctrl-alt-f1)?
[18:19] <captainjamie> Hello everyone. Is it off topic if I ask for recommendations on which tablet I should buy? Because I want to know which type is best at installing Ubuntu on (or at least the Kubuntu mobile one)
[18:20] <SimeonK> hi, how can i run a command in chroot mode without having to type the full path. (e.g. "chroot /chrt /bin/bash -c ls")
[18:20] <mbeierl> bullgard4, do you happen to have remote filesystems, such as NFS, mounted?
[18:20] <bullgard4> captainjamie: Google for 'HCL' and 'Ubuntu'.
[18:20] <zykotick9> mbeierl: "sudo mount IP:/Sharename /MOUNTPOINT" should autodetect for NFS
[18:20] <esuave> mbeierl: im using ubuntu server.. ssh'ed in how can i tell?
[18:20] <mbeierl> bullgard4, I've seen systems refuse to halt due to I/O locks in NFS, but that's been a while
[18:21] <captainjamie> bullgard4: Ok thanks
[18:21] <mbeierl> esuave, oh.  you just told me.  You are using ssh.  What is the local computer running?
[18:21] <esuave> mbeierl: mac
[18:21] <bullgard4> mbeierl: There is no NFS installed on this computer. --
[18:22] <mbeierl> esuave, could it be a problem with the mac ssh client setting somehow?
[18:22] <esuave> mbeierl: ok thanks lemme try restarting the client
[18:22] <bullgard4> mbeierl: '~$ mount' does not show any remote filesysrewm
[18:23] <bullgard4> mbeierl: '~$ mount' does not show any remote filesystem.
[18:23] <mbeierl> bullgard4, k.  there should be a sysreq key combo that tells what programs are still running during the shutdown.  Gimme a moment to look them up
[18:25] <mbeierl> bullgard4, there it is: "T".  ctrl+alt+sysrq+t should list what program is still running, preventing the shutdown.  q.v. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key
[18:25] <mbeierl> can anyone correct me, or is the stock kernel compiled with sysrq support?  I'm not on an ubuntu system at the moment.
[18:26] <pangolin> mbeierl: it is
[18:26] <occupant> so why are ubuntu kernels so large? why isn't everything just a module?
[18:27] <mique> hello
[18:27] <pangolin> occupant: not really a question for this channel, my want to ask the kernel team.
[18:27] <pangolin> s/my/might/
[18:27] <munx> lol
[18:28] <munx> sorry, been a couple years since i've been here
[18:28] <mbeierl> pangolin, thanks!
[18:29] <bullgard4> mbeierl: I am using a Thinkpad T61. Ctrl+Alt+SysRq+T responds: "[timestamp] SysRq : Show State" with a _ prompt on the new line. Nothing more. How to proceed?
[18:29] <pangolin> occupant: #ubuntu-kernel should be the proper place to ask
[18:29] <occupant> ah, thanks
[18:29] <pangolin> occupant: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam#Communications could be helpful to you also
[18:30] <bullgard4> occupant: Because Linus Torvalds wants it so.
[18:30] <pangolin> bullgard4: that is not helpful.
[18:30] <occupant> compared to other distros, I mean
[18:30] <mbeierl> bullgard4, you did that combo during the shutdown, or at a tty?
[18:31] <aestetix> Hey, if there's a package on ubuntu LTS that is outdated, is it safe to manually update the package?
[18:31] <pangolin> occupant: yeah, #ubuntu-kernel can probably help you a lot more.
[18:32] <crizzy_> aestetix: define manually.. i'd rather find some PPA for that package
[18:32] <bullgard4> mbeierl: at a tty. The same virtual console where I issued  the shutdown command before.
[18:32] <aestetix> crizzy_: ok. What's the benefit of using LTS, then?
[18:32] <aestetix> It seems like a lot of stuff is outdated, even on the latest version
[18:32] <pangolin> aestetix: LTS aims for stability and packages do get security updates and major bug fixes.
[18:32] <esuave> Pici: it was the terminal application i was using locally to ssh into my machine.. lol there was nothing wrong with the server its self.. thanks mbeierl
[18:32] <crizzy_> aestetix: exactly what it says, 'long term support'
[18:33] <mbeierl> bullgard4, there's also sysrq+w that should show only blocked processes.  but it sounds like something is not quire right with this.  Once in that state, could you try a forced reboot with "sysrq+reisub"  (that's sysrq+r, then sysrq+e, etc)
[18:33] <crizzy_> aestetix: for regular desktops, the answer is "not much", for corporate employments.. "a lot"
[18:33] <crizzy_> aestetix: new LTS release will come in 2 months, anyway
[18:33] <mbeierl> esuave, great!  pici (fyi^)
[18:33] <aestetix> Ah, ok.
[18:33] <pangolin> aestetix: basically it means that the latest and greatest packages won't be always be ported back to 10.04 but LTS will remain stable.
[18:33] <mbeierl> esuave, sorry - I see you let pici know too, thanks!
[18:34] <Pici> esuave: aha
[18:34] <aestetix> What about security updates and such that come out, and aren't applied to LTS?
[18:34] <esuave> yep thanks guys. lol.. sometimes its the overlooked things that are the problem
[18:34] <katia4567> ciao
[18:34] <pangolin> aestetix: they are.
[18:34] <bullgard4> mbeierl: "sysrq+reisub" restarted my T61 computer.
[18:35] <mbeierl> esuave, I have a similar problem, but it's actually display.  My video driver does not always update my xterms...
[18:35] <aestetix> How often are they applied?
[18:35] <mbeierl> bullgard4, ok, so the sysrq key combo is active.  But for some reason, not telling anything about the running tasks.
[18:36] <bullgard4> mbeierl: I agree.
[18:36] <herodude> why we can't connect ubuntu system with ssh
[18:36] <mbeierl> bullgard4, you can try going through that wiki reference and see if there are any other "tell me something" tasks that might let it go, or the thaw combo?  Maybe something will trigger and make sense of it
[18:37] <aestetix> I just see the different version numbers of the packages, that's all
[18:37] <bullgard4> herodude: Have a look into the logs.
[18:37] <aestetix> (the version of apache in ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS for example, is several years out of date)
[18:38] <bullgard4> mbeierl: I woll do but later. I am hurring now for my local computer club.
[18:40] <mbeierl> bullgard4, k, good luck
[18:41] <loganrun> what is the difference between unity and unity2d
[18:41] <CharminTheMoose> mbeierl, yeah, that'd seem the most likely cause, now that I think about it. Will the cache of reading the file eventually get pushed out of cache?
[18:41] <boba88> i run the command grep --color=always -iw lm /proc/cpuinfo and got that there is lm highlighted in red
[18:42] <theadmin> loganrun: Unity2d is, well, 2d. No 3D acceleration (no nifty visual effects)
[18:42] <trism> aestetix: read the changelog, zless /usr/share/doc/apache2/changelog.Debian.gz;
[18:42] <boba88> that means that my processor is capable of running 64 bit OS?
[18:42] <loganrun> theadmin, o.k. so unity is 3D
[18:43] <loganrun> anybody know how I stop the terminal bell sound when in unity2d
[18:43] <herodude> how to restart firefox using ssh...?
[18:44] <loganrun> theadmin, unity2d seems much faster
[18:44] <theadmin> loganrun: It is
[18:44] <mbeierl> CharminTheMoose, yes.  Linux is good about using whatever memory is available - to the point where there are many "Linux ate my RAM" posts.  It speeds everything up by using it for file cache, and only when a program really needs memory will it let the filesystem cache go
[18:44] <spacebug-> loganrun: check that "set bell-style none" is set in /etc/inputrc   Should be by default though
[18:44] <mbeierl> !ram | CharminTheMoose (for more info)
[18:45] <boba88> and another question os ubuntu 11.10 the most stable version currently?
[18:45] <pangolin> occupant: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates
[18:45] <boba88> and another question is ubuntu 11.10 the most stable version currently?
[18:45] <aeon-ltd> boba88: yes
[18:45] <aeon-ltd> boba88: most stable version of ubuntu anyway
[18:46] <boba88> aeon-ltd: thanks and any idea about my other question : i run the command grep --color=always -iw lm /proc/cpuinfo and got that there is lm highlighted in red, that means that my processor is capable of running 64 bit OS?
[18:46] <theadmin> boba88: That's the most *recent* Ubuntu version. The most stable are considered to be LTS, which is currently 10.04
[18:46] <CharminTheMoose> Oh cheers for that mbeierl
[18:47] <mbeierl> CharminTheMoose, might be more than you wanted to know, but ... you're welcome!
[18:47] <herodude> command to restart firefox
[18:47] <boba88> theadmin: what would you suggest shall i go for 11.10 or keep the 10.04 that i already have?
[18:47] <theadmin> boba88: Up to you
[18:48] <boba88> theadmin: i mean if you have any idea about the feedback from other users who already have 11.10
[18:49] <CharminTheMoose> Slightly related question, can all memory eventually get pushed to swap if there's a need? used memory/cache/buffer?
[18:49] <theadmin> boba88: Meh... The underlying structure is okay, the desktop itself is annoying. But use some other desktop environment and you'll be fine

[19:00] <herodude> bean:just curiosity...
[19:01] <bean> herodude, if it's a gui application theres no real reason to kill it from the command line unless its unresponsive
[19:01] <bean> herodude, in which case, you can type xkill in the terminal and click on it
[19:01] <ActionParsnip> Steevca: can you ping your router's internal IP?
[19:02] <Steevca> ActionParsnip This is what i got following a tut. http://paste.ubuntu.com/835463/
[19:02] <ActionParsnip> Steevca: can you ping 8.8.8.8?
[19:02] <herodude> bean syntax of xkill
[19:02] <JadedJacob> ActionParsnip, can you repeat the code
[19:03] <bean> herodude, you could also just do killall firefox
[19:03] <bean> herodude, and then do firefox
[19:03] <bean> or,
[19:03] <bean> it might be
[19:03] <bean> firefox-bin

[19:07] <JadedJ-ubu> Hi, it's jaded jacob on the ubuntu machine
[19:07] <Steevca> ActionParsnip Any sugestions what can i do?
[19:08] <JadedJ-ubu> ActionParsnip: that's the output you told me to copy/paste
[19:08] <ActionParsnip> Steevca: are there any bugs reported?
[19:08] <Steevca> ActionParsnip None.
[19:08] <ActionParsnip> JadedJacob: you have no flash installed..
[19:09] <ActionParsnip> JadedJacob: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer      will install flash for you
[19:09] <JadedJ-ubu> I manually copied the flash player plugin for 10.3 into the firefox plugins directory, after reading this thread
[19:09] <amandabee> I'm trying to troubleshoot an space issue. An hour ago I got a warning "you only have 1G remaining" when I logged in. Not a big deal.

[19:10] <fefosoft> gracias.
[19:10] <amandabee> theadmin: it is
[19:12] <ActionParsnip> JadedJacob: you don't need any of that, flash is in the repos
[19:13] <ActionParsnip> JadedJacob: you will get flash 11 then
[19:13] <JadedJacob> flash 11 in full screen is jerky!
[19:15] <ActionParsnip> JadedJacob: is it ok in Unity2d?
[19:17] <JadedJacob> i'm using lxde

[19:18] <holstein> JadedJacob: you could try some different graphics drivers assuming they are available for your hardware.. too bad there isnt a #flash... or if we as a community were allowed to maintain flash i think that could help us with the issues

[19:20] <e-yns> hi , im using asus k53sj notebook , this notebook has 2 graphics cart nvidia gt520m and intel
[19:20] <e-yns> intel works great but nvidia doesnt work
[19:20] <e-yns> how can i disable intel ?
[19:21] <danger89> http://killacta.org/
[19:21] <holstein> e-yns: i would try the bios

[19:23] <JadedJacob> there are some other drivers for my card

[19:23] <JadedJacob> hmmm
[19:23] <holstein> e-yns: how have you tried to configure the 2 GPU's ? ... you see nothing on the nvidia? can you try using arandr ?

[19:25] <Oer> e-yns, you have Optimus, look @ Bumblebee https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee or join #Bumblebee for help
[19:25] <holstein> herodude: i would probably run ps aux and find it and kill it from there, and just restart it
[19:26] <e-yns> thx for help im trying
[19:26] <rymate1234> herodude: close it and reopen ;)
[19:27] <herodude> what is ps aux

[19:30] <rymate1234> powerdev?
[19:30] <cowpig> hello
[19:30] <cowpig> I am a brand new user of ubuntu (and linux altogether)
[19:30] <Companion> pacman is broken :<
[19:30] <n00b750> rymate1234: yes, powerdev. I am guessing it's for acpi shutdowns by regular users.
[19:31] <cowpig> since installing ubuntu my laptop is having problems connecting to my school's wifi
[19:31] <cloudgeek> how to forword a port or any good link so can undersnatd it from basic ,plz don't say google it
[19:31] <Companion> wrong chan >.>
[19:31] <rymate1234> acpi shutdowns?
[19:31] <cowpig> it continually tries to reconnect
[19:31] <cowpig> I'm not really sure what to do abotu it
[19:31] <herodude> holstein:firefox doesnot have to be restore...
[19:31] <n00b750> cowpig: did u talk to ur school's tech support?
[19:31] <rymate1234> Companion: pacman is on ubuntu now? :P
[19:31] <rymate1234> cowpig: what's the error?
[19:31] <holstein> cowpig: does it work well with other wifi hotspots?
[19:31] <cowpig> yeah they don't know
[19:31] <cowpig> works alright at home
[19:31] <rymate1234> cowpig: did you setup the school proxies and shiz?
[19:32] <Companion> rymate1234, my bouncer threw me in #Ubuntu wile I was typing :D
[19:32] <rymate1234> lol
[19:32] <cowpig> it has PEAP security
[19:32] <cowpig> i have to log in with my school netname/password
[19:32] <cowpig> works ok where the signal is very strong
[19:32] <holstein> herodude: ?... you can restart firefox how ever you like.. i typically kill misbehaving apps in the method outlined in that link i gave you
[19:32] <cowpig> but if it's even remotely weak it cuts out after 1-5 mins (if it connects at all in the first place)
[19:32] <rymate1234> might be a school issue then
[19:32] <cowpig> and then keeps asking me for authentication
[19:33] <cowpig> no it was always fine when I ran windows
[19:33] <gisli> how do I search available packages with apt-get?
[19:33] <EvilResistance> gisli:  apt-cache search <criterion>
[19:33] <benvei> gisli, "apt-cache search PACKAGE"
[19:33] <gisli> scratch that
[19:33] <EvilResistance> gisli:  for example: apt-cache search php
[19:33] <gisli> hehe yeah...I was using apt-get like a fool
[19:33] <benvei> hehe :p
[19:33] <cowpig> it'll try to connect for a bit, then ask me for my authentication
[19:34] <cowpig> and then try to connect for a bit
[19:34] <cowpig> and then ask again
[19:34] <cowpig> etc
[19:34] <cowpig> does it for about 10 mins then gives up
[19:34] <cowpig> anyone have any idea
[19:34] <cowpig> what the issue could be?
[19:34] <rymate1234> hmm
[19:34] <n00b750> solved... powerdev group comes from the 'hal' package.. installing hal gave me the 'powerdev' group. :)
[19:35] <cowpig> eventually it just connects to "ConcordiaWirelessInfo" instead of "ConcordiaUniversity"
[19:35] <Companion> rymate1234, maybe you know it even I am not running ubuntu, how do I see what version I am running?
[19:35] <holstein> cowpig: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1912797 is something you can add to.. i would try some mailing lists, and try going to some other hotspots to test... seems that PEAP is an issue
[19:35] <Companion> rymate1234, the cat version
[19:36] <rymate1234> version of pacman?
[19:36] <Companion> rymate1234, no linux/kernel

[19:36] <benvei> lol
[19:36] <rymate1234> does it not say in GRUB? :P
[19:36] <Seryth> Damn.
[19:36] <Companion> rymate1234, no there was a cat command to see what distro and kernel you're running

[19:47] <OllieN> Hello
[19:47] <mavrick95> i am having trouble with sudo commands. in console mode i am limited to use non-sudo commands, because it says that my name is not in thge sudoers file (i remember manually changing the name in /etc/hosts). the question is: do i have to format and install ubuntu again?
[19:48] <zykotick9> !hostname | mavrick95
[19:48] <sammac> urock : any idea which log file ?
[19:48] <uRock> dmesg
[19:49] <zykotick9> mavrick95: seeing as sudo is broken, you'll need to use either Recovery Mode or a LiveCD+chroot to change the other file
[19:50] <zykotick9> mavrick95: ummm, perhaps chroot wouldn't be required
[19:50] <recon_lap> got a question, whats the difference between openjdk and oracle jdk , any reason not to use the oracle one ?
[19:50] <zykotick9> recon_lap: you mean other then Oracle being evil? ;)
[19:51] <recon_lap> well, there seems to be more docs with the oracle one
[19:52] <svensk_a1> powermanagement in 11.04? my eeepc is overheating under normal use
[19:52] <ActionParsnip> recon_lap: some apps need the features in the oracle one, most times the open one will be ok
[19:53] <recon_lap> can i install both? to check
[19:53] <realm174> Ubuntu 11.04: Can someone point me to info on how to set up multiple displays?  I have a regular monitor (1024x768) and a projector (640x480), I'm trying to set it up so I can view desktop on regular display, and movies on projector.
[19:53] <ActionParsnip> recon_lap: sure, there are commands to switch between
[19:53] <ActionParsnip> realm174: what GPU?
[19:53] <realm174> ATI X1600
[19:57] <mbeierl> mavrick95, careful with the two "names" here.  The sudo is saying your *user*name is not in the sudoers list.  That is different than the *host*name that is in /etc/hosts.  What user did you use when Ubuntu was first installed?
[19:59]  * Companion is one hell of a lucky bastard!
[19:59] <Gentoo64> Companion, why
[19:59] <Companion> Gentoo64, long time no see
[20:00] <Gentoo64> i dont remember your nick :s
[20:00] <Gentoo64> sorry
[20:00] <JadedJacob> after installing nvidia drivers, do i need to manually reconfigure x server?
[20:00] <Companion> Gentoo64, I can randomly change stuff without breaking my stuff what does happen regulary at other users :p
[20:00] <Gentoo64> JadedJacob, no shouldnt do
[20:00] <Companion> Gentoo64, you do from Archlinux :O
[20:00] <Gentoo64> really?
[20:00] <Companion> Gentoo64, yea
[20:00] <Companion> you were also banned here :P
[20:01] <Gentoo64> i go in there like once a month :)
[20:01] <Gentoo64> ah ok
[20:01] <Companion> it was a period when you were banned here ;p
[20:01] <Companion> then you were there daily
[20:01] <oCean> Let's move back on topic?
[20:01] <Companion> sudo make sandwich now!
[20:01] <Companion> oCean, alright
[20:01] <Companion> Gentoo64, how do I find my distro sig?
[20:01] <Gentoo64> Companion, sig?
[20:02] <Companion> Gentoo64, yes version of your distro
[20:02] <recon_lap> ok, question, why are there no docs for javax in open-jdk, do they not exist or have i failed to install them?
[20:02] <Companion> recon_lap, tried man openjdk?
[20:02] <Gentoo64> Companion, the version of ubuntu?
[20:02] <Companion> Gentoo64, yes
[20:02] <Gentoo64> i dont actually know
[20:02] <Companion> cat /some/dir/some/file
[20:02] <Companion> : /
[20:03] <Gentoo64> you should just know lol
[20:03] <oCean> lsb_release -a Companion
[20:03] <Companion> oCean, there was also a cat version of that oCean looking for that one : /
[20:03] <recon_lap> Companion: well, the java docs are intergrated in most java ide's , man is not realy an option
[20:04] <Companion> recon_lap, tried a wiki?
[20:04] <oCean> Companion: cat /etc/lsb-release
[20:04] <Companion> oCean, thanks <3
[20:04] <Companion> [companion@cube ~]$ lsb_release -a
[20:04] <Companion> bash: lsb_release: command not found
[20:04] <Companion> [companion@cube ~]$ cat /etc/lsb-release
[20:04] <Companion> cat: /etc/lsb-release: No such file or directory
[20:04] <Companion> sweet! thats on a ubuntu dedi
[20:05] <zykotick9> Companion: if you don't have lsb_release, i'm guessing you aren't using ubuntu
[20:06] <recon_lap> Companion: the same applies, and i did find wiki docs they where the oracle ones, it the integration i'm wondering about,
[20:06] <zykotick9> Companion: BUT, i don't have /etc/lsb-release file (but I'm not using ubuntu)
[20:06] <Companion> zykotick9, its on a ubuntu <7.04 server
[20:06] <zykotick9> Companion: 7.04!  OMG
[20:06] <Companion> I have to find out with version it is so I can upgrade it :P
[20:06] <Companion> zykotick9, my suspicion is even 4.10
[20:06] <zykotick9> Companion: reinstall
[20:07] <Companion> zykotick9, naw
[20:07] <holstein> Companion: i would backup and reinstall.. that could take a long time to get up to speed
[20:07] <indio> Hi. How do I add ratpoison to my WM options in the login screen?
[20:07] <Companion> zykotick9, thats the windows method
[20:07] <Companion> holstein, That server uptime is over 5 years :P
[20:07] <oCean> Companion: you would have to do many, many upgrades, since there is not a one-upgrade possibility there
[20:07] <zykotick9> Companion: you can't skip releases, so 7.04->7.10->8.04->8.10->9.04->9.10->10.04 at minimum
[20:07] <Companion> oCean, I get paid for it any how :P
[20:07] <JadedJacob> how can i make sure my video drivers are working properly?
[20:08] <Companion> but any one got that working cat? for any distro of ubuntu?
[20:08] <holstein> Companion: at some point during this upgrade, you will want to restart that machine.. you can arguably waste a lot more time upgrading than just reinstalling
[20:08] <zykotick9> Companion: what does "cat /etc/debian_version" report?
[20:08] <Companion> holstein, ofc it gets rebooted at each upgrade :P
[20:08] <JadedJacob> nvidia x, is reporting 'unable to load x server display configuration page'
[20:09] <oCean> Companion: also check /etc/issue
[20:09] <Companion> zykotick9, 1.0 :s
[20:09] <holstein> Companion: and the last time was 5 years ago?.. the last upgrade?..
[20:09] <Companion> last update...
[20:09] <Companion> was done 6 years ago according to the log
[20:10] <Companion> ZOMG
[20:10] <Companion> Its a unstable release of 0.8 Debian
[20:10] <holstein> i find best case, it takes about 5 hours to upgrade, and you *cant* upgrade to 7.10... its EOL
[20:10] <Companion> Thanks oCean for the tip
[20:10] <Companion> holstein, its debian 0.8 Unstable
[20:11] <Companion> did a root kit scanner
[20:11] <Companion> every thing is on it
[20:11] <indio> Hi. How do I add ratpoison to my WM options in the login screen?
[20:11] <Companion> this is irrisponsible
[20:11] <Companion> :s
[20:11]  * Companion formats the server
[20:11] <vacho> how do I in terminal search for files larger than 100mb?
[20:12] <holstein> Companion: everything meaning root kits?... kernel upgrades are something you might want to do more oftent than that for security reasons
[20:12] <Companion> holstein, it wasnt my server
[20:12] <llutz> vacho: find ...bla -size +100M
[20:12] <Companion> holstein, its of an uni :')
[20:12] <Companion> My PC Runs Archlinux tho
[20:12] <peter-adfadfaj> I had my (dell) laptop repaired, but now my speakers no longer produce bass sounds. Is this simply a loose connection?
[20:13] <Companion> peter-adfadfaj, thats a common issue
[20:13] <Companion> peter-adfadfaj, there is a subwoofer in it? :)
[20:13] <Gentoo64> peter-adfadfaj, maybe alsamixer has a bass option check that
[20:13] <Companion> Gentoo64, no if the laptop has a subwoofer he has to compile alsa manual with certain drivers
[20:14] <Gentoo64> Companion, not necessarily
[20:14] <Gentoo64> in fact very unlikely lol
[20:14] <Companion> Gentoo64, when I had a laptop it was the only fix :P
[20:14] <Gentoo64> dont forget everyones is different though
[20:14] <Companion> was an ACER tho
[20:14] <Companion> and also hapened with a Dell after that
[20:15] <peter-adfadfaj> It worked perfectly beforehand. I was just curious if anyone had dismantled their laptops before and encountered the same problem.
[20:15] <Companion> for the dell it was simply redirecting alsa to the channel
[20:15] <Gentoo64> peter-adfadfaj, it could be anything
[20:15] <Companion> peter-adfadfaj, go to terminal and hit: alsamixer
[20:15] <Companion> peter-adfadfaj, thats the first thing to look at
[20:15] <peter-adfadfaj> Okay, I'll just look alsamixer over :)
[20:15] <Companion> alsa has a habbit of silencing channels
[20:16] <Companion> brb smoke
[20:18] <th3nightkill> ei
[20:18] <f8ight> ello
[20:18] <munx> I always remember having to go into also conf and unmute the default devices and or turn them up
[20:18] <sudipta> is there any arch linux channel

[20:20] <superk3n> whats python package name for opengl
[20:20] <lonejack> can someone help me to start my usb-wifi connector? I followed the instruction (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper) but when I do iwconfig it answer 'Power Management:off' on the device

[20:20] <cfhowlett> sudipta: #archlinux
[20:21] <cfhowlett> dannel: ???
[20:21] <dannel> python-opengl is in repos
[20:22] <lonejack> hi
[20:23] <superk3n> dannel: thanks i got it..
[20:23] <ken_> test 123
[20:24] <peter-adfadfaj> Thanks for your help with Alsamixer. All the channels were at 100, and I have no separate subwoofer. I'm still convinced it's a loose connection. I'll check it tomorrow :)
[20:24] <Gentoo64> peter-adfadfaj, if theyre laptop speakers surely theyre all in 1 wire?
[20:25] <Gentoo64> i dont know a lot about laptops though
[20:25] <_skpl> oin #crunchbang
[20:25] <Gentoo64> id be surprised if it used seperate sub - tweeter wires
[20:25] <peter-adfadfaj> Internal. I don't see what else it could be, unless my speakers were surreptitiously replaced. :)
[20:26] <peter-adfadfaj> It's no big deal for now.
[20:26] <Gentoo64> peter-adfadfaj, well try it on a livecd
[20:26] <Gentoo64> that should rule out any ubuntu problems possibly
[20:27] <peter-adfadfaj> Okay, I'll try that. Thanks! :)
[20:27] <Gentoo64> well i dont mean "ubuntu" problems, i just mean any configs / whatever that may have changed
[20:36] <Steevca> I am having a problem with network adapter.I can't connect to the internet.I managed to connect after couple of restarts but after the updating and restart i can't connect again.How can i fix it?

[20:37] <arno__> hi
[20:37] <cfhowlett> Steevca: also ask over there
[20:37] <cfhowlett> arno__: greetings
[20:37] <arno__> how update 10.04 to 11.04
[20:37] <Steevca> cfhowlett I have ubuntu 10.4 not the server edition.
[20:38] <cfhowlett> Steevca: yeah, but I suspect there might just be a wider base of knowledge re: network connection issues over there
[20:38] <Steevca> http://paste.ubuntu.com/835463/  This is what i got following a tut,and i have tried to ping 8.8.8.8 no luck.
[20:39] <zykotick9> arno__: by default LTS releases will only upgrade to other LTS releases, there is some way to turn that off (i don't know how).  FYI you can't skip releases so you'd have to upgrade 10.04->10.10->11.04
[20:39] <mixalis> \query FDFlock
[20:39] <cfhowlett> arno__: you're on an LTS release.  Suggest you stay with it until the next one comes out in a few months.
[20:40] <arno__> thx
[20:40] <jen_> does anyone know mypaint?
[20:40] <arno__> jen
[20:40] <arno__> yes jen_

[20:41] <arno__> ?
[20:41] <cfhowlett> arno__: lsb_release -a
[20:41] <zykotick9> arno__: ubuntu version?  "lsb_release -a"
[20:42] <arno__> i have forget if i have a 32 or 86-64 install
[20:42] <zykotick9> arno__: uname -m
[20:42] <cfhowlett> arno__: by the way, 10.04 is supported for 36 months.  Don't feel like you must upgrade the instant 12.04 is published
[20:43] <jen_> okay thanks!
[20:43] <Steevca> I am going to lose my mind with this network. >.<
[20:43] <arno__> thx
[20:43] <arno__> that i forget
[20:43] <arno__> uname -m -a
[20:44] <arno__> the 12.04 is publisheD?
[20:45] <oCean> arno__: no, 12.04 = 2012.april (so it is planned to be released in april)
[20:45] <recon_lap> scared to ask whats the problem Steevca
[20:45] <mido_> hi
[20:46] <arno__> ok
[20:46] <arno__> ok i must try
[20:46] <Steevca> recon_lap I can't connect to the internet with my ubuntu,but on windows it works all right.
[20:47] <recon_lap> Steevca: disabling one of the network cards might help simply things
[20:47] <Steevca> I managed after sudo pppoeconf and a restart to get it to work,update it and now i don't eaven have eth0 or eth1.
[20:48] <Steevca> recon_lap I have two network adpaters,TP-LINK and Via Rhine II.
[20:48] <Steevca> The Rhine isn't working at all.
[20:49] <recon_lap> Steevca: and do you use both at the same time?
[20:49] <Steevca> recon_lap Nope,just TP-LINK.
[20:49] <Steevca> I have a DSL Modem that is connected to a pc with ethernet cable.
[20:52] <reiuiji> can i install grub instead of grub 2?
[20:53] <Estragon> hi :)
[20:53] <Estragon> I would like to allow a specified user to restart tomcat (which obviously requires root) without giving him root rights or adding him to  sudoers
[20:53] <holstein> reiuiji: its all open, you can do what you like... though i would suggest troubleshooting grub2
[20:53] <urlin2u> reiuiji, yes can I ask whay?
[20:53] <recon_lap> Steevca: dinner calls i'm afraid , i'd disable the one your not using , sudo ifdown ethX , then sudo ifup ethY on the one you use
[20:53] <urlin2u> why*
[20:54] <reiuiji> i cant run another distro
[20:54] <urlin2u> reiuiji, whats the other distro?
[20:54] <Steevca> recon_lap Whell now it doesn't recognise any card.
[20:54] <reiuiji> gentoo
[20:54] <Steevca> I dont have eth0 or eth1.
[20:55] <urlin2u> reiuiji, can't you use the bootloader in gentoo to load the others?
[20:55] <urlin2u> reiuiji, I don't know what gentoo uses grub legacy right?
[20:55] <reiuiji> i can but i set up gentoo in ubuntu instead of gentoo live cd XD
[20:55] <urlin2u> reiuiji, gentoo in ubuntu?
[20:56] <Star_Light> hello is there any site about Wordpress or something related with CMS?
[20:56] <reiuiji> next to ubuntu
[20:56] <Star_Light> *channel
[20:56] <VCoolio> house
[20:56] <croon> hey folks, is this the proper channel to ask for some support?
[20:57] <Star_Light> croon if you want for ubuntu
[20:57] <Star_Light> yes it is.
[20:57] <urlin2u> reiuiji, not sure I can help other than to say running grub legacy or grub 2 is possible, bnut from a informed point of view is best.
[20:57] <croon> ok
[20:57] <croon> I replaced my old debian fileserver with a new one running ubuntu desktop (because I wanted to run XBMC on it)
[20:57] <urlin2u> but*
[20:57] <croon> I have it connected to an onkyo reciever, and try to keep xbmc running
[20:57] <croon> my problem is that whenever I turn off my TV or the reciever, xbmc stops responding, and when I turn reciever/TV back on, xbmc is no where to be found through X, and I have to kill the process to start a new one
[20:57] <croon> is it just x server freaking out because it's losing EDID, and is there anyway to fix it?
[20:58] <croon> preferably without having to buy a 100+ dollar HDMI EDID signal adapter
[20:59] <almoxarife> croon: #xbmc people might be a better source of help
[20:59] <croon> this isn't an xbmc issue
[20:59] <croon> at least 90% sure
[21:00] <croon> but thanks, might try that too
[21:01] <almoxarife> croon: sure, i got you, i cant see how xbmc would be helpful in making xbmc work
[21:03] <urlin2u> reiuiji, when you say in ubuntu it is hard to process that it is incorrect, no biggie but subtle language differentials can make or break communications.
[21:05] <urlin2u> reiuiji, you want to say I have ubuntu in this partition and gentoo in this other one, or in a virtual...etc.

[21:10] <h0m3r_> hey everyone, does network manager stores the VPN password on a file? if so, what file?
[21:10] <h0m3r_> i'm not finding it anywhere, and i need to recovery it accessing the machine via SSH
[21:11] <zykotick9> h0m3r_: i don't think N-M actually stores passwords, i believe it offloads that to things like the gnome keyring
[21:12] <h0m3r_> zykotick9, hm, i see.. well, i'm sure that the password is stored somewhere, it automatically connects
[21:12] <EvilResistance> zykotick9:  NetworkManager saves passcodes to the keyring
[21:13] <zykotick9> EvilResistance: isn't that what i just said?  but thanks for the confirmation
[21:13] <EvilResistance> zykotick9:  you said "I believe".  i'm just confirming :)

[21:21] <renemoraes> Bodsda:ok, sorry
[21:21] <Bodsda> no worries
[21:21] <yusufaliboz> Oer, what can i do
[21:22] <urlin2u> yusufaliboz, so far zykotick9 has given you the only solid advice justa heads up here.
[21:22] <renemoraes> Bodsda: http://paste.ubuntu.com/835772/
[21:23] <dragonfly> e-yns: what do you want to use that option for? perhaps there is an easier/better way to accomplish that goal
[21:23] <yusufaliboz> Oer and urlin2u my adaptor is Ralink RT5390 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter
[21:23] <renemoraes> Bodsda: everytime i receive the modeline and the kxb line.. my screen flashs

[21:24] <yusufaliboz> Hi everyone.. I'm using Ubuntu 11.0
[21:24] <renemoraes> Bodsda: when the notebook isnt plugged... it doesnt occur
[21:24]  * dragonfly gives yusufaliboz a cookie
[21:25] <urlin2u> yusufaliboz, there are a number of links on google of this card and how to install the drivers.
[21:25] <Bodsda> renemoraes: looking at the log, the flashing occurs just after wmi drivers are loaded for a dell keyboard?
[21:26] <urlin2u> yusufaliboz, actually now youn have changed the OS release from 11.04 to 11.10, I see now so here is one form the ubuntu forums. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1859912
[21:26] <renemoraes> Bodsda: I dont know... It starts when I plugg the notebook... and then my log starts to give these modelines and kbm msgs
[21:27] <renemoraes> Bodsda: but i'm on a Dell notebook
[21:27] <e-yns> dragonfly: i reverted my ubuntu oneric to classical interface i dont use this command like gnome-desktop-menu --add-new blabla
[21:27] <Bodsda> hmmm
[21:27] <renemoraes> Bodsda: do u think that my keyboard drivers are wrong?
[21:27] <urlin2u> yusufaliboz, not solved but gves yhou a hint at the problems, wait for informed help.
[21:28] <Bodsda> renemoraes: probably not - Just looking through bug reports, theres a fair few for xorg issues on notebooks
[21:29] <yusufaliboz> urlin2u: i wonder if i will install the last version, can ubuntu identify my wi-fi adaptor?
[21:29] <recon_lap> guess Steevca is gone, had a nice dinner though
[21:29] <Bodsda> renemoraes: what model notebook do you have?
[21:29] <renemoraes> Bodsda: thank you.. i will try to look some more... i'm with this issue for 3 months, no one ever answered me
[21:30] <renemoraes> Bodsda: its a Dell Inspiron 15R N5110
[21:30] <e-yns> good night #ubuntu , im going to sleep
[21:30] <Steevca> I have started ubuntu 10.4 with an older kernel .33 and internet works. -.-
[21:30] <urlin2u> yusufaliboz, I have no idea, but my guess is no. You just said your using 11.10 that is the latest as far as official releases. A railink device is not a simple plug and play setup.
[21:31] <Steevca> Now i need to force a 1152x864 resolution,how can i do that?
[21:31] <urlin2u> yusufaliboz, personally I would just get a usb device that does work or use the inboard, but that is just me.
[21:32] <sidney_> I attempted to install truecrypt using a online tutoral and failed. Is there an easy way
[21:32] <recon_lap> Steevca: system -> preferences -> display
[21:32] <zykotick9> Steevca: just an FYI (not really helpful), using nonstandard resolutions is going to depend on your Xorg driver if it's possible or not
[21:32] <reiuiji> does this look ok ? http://pastebin.com/i8YTfrj6
[21:32] <reiuiji> it's not boothing though
[21:32] <yusufaliboz> urlin2u: i will try ideas as in: http://forums.techguy.org/networking/1000462-solved-ralink-rt5390-802-11b.html
[21:32] <Steevca> recon_lap: The problem is that i have Ati Radeon 9550 and they droped the drivers for it.
[21:33] <urlin2u> yusufaliboz, you keep saying adapter this is a intenal card right?
[21:33] <Steevca> So i can't change other than 800x600 and 1024x768
[21:33] <yusufaliboz> urlin2u: if i can't solve i will turn here..
[21:33] <Bodsda> renemoraes: got all the latest updates?
[21:33] <Steevca> And i need 1152x864 i did it earlyer but i can't remember what i did.
[21:33] <renemoraes> Bodsda: Yes!
[21:34] <yusufaliboz> urlin2u: internal
[21:34] <yusufaliboz> yes
[21:34] <Bodsda> renemoraes: what release are you using?
[21:34] <renemoraes> Bodsda: Ubuntu 11.10 with Gnome3
[21:34] <Bodsda> renemoraes: when did the problem start?
[21:34] <kapz> gr8 combo! :)
[21:34] <Steevca> zykotick9: Can you explane me how to do it?
[21:35] <kapz> *explain
[21:35] <renemoraes> Bodsda: since the first time I turn the notebook on :)
[21:35] <zykotick9> Steevca: sorry no.  ATI = I can't/won't help.  Good luck though.
[21:35] <recon_lap> reiuiji: well the 'gentoo' bit looks wrong
[21:35] <urlin2u> yusufaliboz, that link seems to be for windows, no linux mentioned
[21:35] <Bodsda> renemoraes: before you installed ubuntu?
[21:35] <renemoraes> Bodsda: and it doesnt happen with Windows...
[21:35] <Bodsda> typical
[21:35] <Steevca> Ok,i am going to try on #ati.
[21:35] <renemoraes> Bodsda: hell yeah

[21:36] <Bodsda> renemoraes: do you get the issue while running the live cd?

[21:37] <kapz> fAz4: u answered ur own Q! thru synaptic!
[21:37] <reiuiji> recon_lap: can you please fix it ?
[21:37] <Bodsda> renemoraes: actually, that one is fairly obvious. It sounds like a problem with the power dimming controls. Almost as if they are constantly being adjusted.
[21:37] <kapz> *oops sorry thru synaptic
[21:38] <zykotick9> kapz: not everyone wants to use GUI Package Managers
[21:38] <fAz4>  zykotick9: no, suppose i have chrom 12 and i want to install new version

[21:39] <kapz> *hahah a big finga 2 u
[21:39] <zykotick9> fAz4: "apt-cache policy chromium" will show what version is installed, and what would be installed

[21:51] <RedWar> zykotick9 Bodsda Can i do this with out entering the directories?
[21:51] <sun_devil> Does anyone understand how to print from a network printer (wifi) using Ubuntu 10.4?
[21:51] <Bodsda> RedWar: yep    ls /var/log   for example
[21:51] <RedWar> simply ls /path/directory ?
[21:51] <recon_lap> sun_devil: did you install cups
[21:51] <rymate1234> Lets duel!
[21:51] <RedWar> Ok cool. Thanks Bodsda and zycotick9
[21:51] <Bodsda> RedWar: your welcome
[21:52] <scarra3> zykotick9: I am on ubuntu right now I just want to find out if all my hardware is fully working
[21:52] <zykotick9> scarra3: lol, you can't tell?  like what specifically?
[21:52] <sun_devil> not sure, just went to it in browser and configured
[21:52] <Bodsda> scarra3: Well, you can type, see your screen and connect to the network - so that graphics, NIC and I/O devices all fine :)
[21:53] <brobeans> hey all. please could someone tell me which channel i could get help mapping a windows share
[21:53] <Bodsda> brobeans: #samba is probably your best bet
[21:53] <rymate1234> chromium
[21:53] <recon_lap>  scarra3: you could run system testing in the admin menu if you running 10.04
[21:53] <rymate1234> whats so bad with using my chrome settings?
[21:53] <rymate1234> :(
[21:53] <Bodsda> brobeans: but someone here may be able to help
[21:53] <brobeans> thank you
[21:54] <zykotick9> Bodsda: FYI samba is for sharing, not connect to
[21:54] <brobeans> basically i want to map my NAS drive
[21:54] <scarra3> Well I am not fully sure if my graphics are working I installed the fglrx drivers
[21:54] <Bodsda> zykotick9: yeah, I read the question round the wrong way
[21:54] <mgolisch> brobeans: use mount ?
[21:54] <sun_devil> common unix printing system is in software center
[21:55] <Bodsda> brobeans: see if this helps - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1706748
[21:55] <scarra3> and I did /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p and it all said yes I just know how linux is when it comes to ATI cards btw my laptop runs an ati card so I should also install the fglrx drivers as well?
[21:56] <rymate1234> NO
[21:56] <rymate1234> FGLRX is bad
[21:56] <sun_devil> Does anyone understand how to print from a network printer (wifi) using Ubuntu 10.4?
[21:56] <recon_lap> scarra3: have a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[21:56] <Yabden> delicious fglrx
[21:56] <superstraw> 42
[21:57] <sidney_> gedit has not been able to detect the character encoding.
[21:57] <sidney_> Please check that you are not trying to open a binary file.
[21:57] <sidney_> Select a character encoding from the menu and try again.why do I get this error
[21:57] <stephans__> hello everybody. q: how to change default login desktop from the cli in ubuntu with kdm as the login manager ?
[21:58] <zykotick9> sidney_: possibly it isn't a text file?  "file foo" might shed some light
[21:58] <scarra3> recon_lap: well it seems like everything is working perfectly find lol
[21:59] <sun_devil> Does anyone understand how to print to a network printer (wifi) using Ubuntu 10.4?
[21:59] <recon_lap> scarra3: happydays :-D
[21:59] <zykotick9> sun_devil: asking every 3 minutes just clutters the channel, try waiting a while in between asking (allows other people to join the channel)
[21:59] <stephans__> sun_devil, that depends on whet the printer is.
[22:00] <sidney_> zykotick9, it looks like a text file
[22:00] <scarra3> recon_lap: Now I have to see if everything works fully on my laptop I am installing ubuntu now
[22:00] <recon_lap> sun_devil: look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkPrintingWithUbuntu
[22:00] <sun_devil> Unfortantly its a Kodak
[22:01] <stephans__> sun_devil, if oyu have a printer plugged in to an ubuntu box.. well you dont need to do a thing.. it just shows up
[22:01] <cfhowlett> sun_devil: SHOULD show up :)
[22:01] <sun_devil> wireless?
[22:01] <stephans__> sun_devil, if it is a UPnP device it should also show up in the browsing the network.
[22:01] <sidney_> what causes a setup file to be rendered as a text file
[22:02] <zykotick9> sidney_: it's contents
[22:02] <recon_lap> sun_devil: is your network encrypted and if so have you setup the encryption on your wireless printer
[22:02] <mgolisch> sidney_: what setup file?
[22:02] <zykotick9> sidney_: from a terminal try "file foo" replace foo with the actual filename
[22:02] <sidney_> the site stated it should have a deb inside
[22:03] <sun_devil> Yes, encrypted, I have the code and the IP for the printer
[22:03] <sidney_>  zykotick9 truecrypt
[22:03] <zykotick9> sidney_: gedit can't possibly open a DEB file embeded in something
[22:03] <sun_devil> The printer has the network code in it
[22:03] <recon_lap> sun_devil: well, you going to need to get a network cable to set the printer up
[22:03] <zykotick9> sidney_: i can't help then - good luck.  (i don't think software encryption is a good idea)
[22:03] <sun_devil> makes sense
[22:04] <sun_devil> Then work from their to get it to go wireless
[22:04] <arcsky> hello why does it take so long time with login on SSH to ubunu ? it takes like ages to get the password to come up
[22:04] <sidney_> zykotick9,  i downloaded the tar.gz and extracted
[22:04] <reiuiji> im back
[22:04] <recon_lap> sun_devil: also look for ubuntu wireless drivers for your wireless printer
[22:05] <zykotick9> sidney_: please see my last message, i can't help.
[22:05] <killerfx> hello!
[22:05] <killerfx> pleaseeee help please please please
[22:05] <rymate1234> killerfx: well, we need to know the problem
[22:05] <killerfx> ikik
[22:05] <sun_devil> ok....thanks
[22:05] <rymate1234> we don't read minds
[22:05] <imnichol> Is anyone familiar with the reason that Ubuntu uses ecryptfs instead of dmcrypt?
[22:05] <killerfx> ok well i installed ubuntu from a usb...
[22:05] <killerfx> now i cant load windows
[22:06] <killerfx> and i had all my project on there
[22:06] <killerfx> well i probably could boot windows but how ???
[22:06] <zykotick9> !enter | killerfx
[22:06] <killerfx> ok im sorr :(
[22:06] <recon_lap> sun_devil: has the printer been setup on the network already, if so you don't need to connect with a cable to set it up again
[22:06] <mgolisch> imnichol: it allows to encrypt some users homes only?
[22:06] <dragonfly> killerfx: sounds like you overwrote your bootloader
[22:06] <mgolisch> imnichol: whereas dmcrypt would encrypt the whole blockdevice
[22:07] <imnichol> Ah I see
[22:07] <imnichol> Is dmcrypt still supported in some manner?
[22:07] <rymate1234> killerfx: can you access your windows drive within ubuntu?
[22:07] <killerfx> @dragonfly and when i turn on my computer, it just loads straight to ubuntu
[22:07] <killerfx> @dragonfly idk? how can i do that?
[22:07] <killerfx> yeah im on my windows files thing
[22:08] <rymate1234> killerfx: can you access your windows drive within ubuntu?
[22:08] <killerfx> yes
[22:08] <zykotick9> killerfx: you might want to try "sudo update-grug" then reboot to see if it's automatically added (it isn't typically when you install)
[22:08] <dragonfly> wait, did you load ubuntu off of the usb or install it on to the usb?
[22:08] <Oer> killerfx, hold left shift @ boot to enter the grub menu, there you can choose windows.
[22:08] <zykotick9> killerfx: sorry typo update-grub!
[22:08] <killerfx> i left shift and it dont work
[22:08] <killerfx> i loaded it off usb and installed it
[22:08] <dragonfly> killerfx: you didn't tell it to use the entire drive did you?
[22:09] <rymate1234> killerfx: so you can access windows stuff
[22:09] <rymate1234> why boot to windows then!
[22:09] <rymate1234> :P
[22:09] <killerfx> no i told it to use 250 gb
[22:09] <killerfx> i have 1tb
[22:09] <sun_devil> I have a dual boot, its setup on XP but not linux
[22:09] <killerfx> because i need the windows for recording
[22:09] <rymate1234> ah
[22:09] <recon_lap> sun_devil: now for the obvious question, whats the printer?
[22:09] <killerfx> yeah i do youtube xD (im not going to advertise dont worry)
[22:10] <occupant> twice, years apart, I've had ubuntu write grub on the MBR of the disk other than the one I was installing on. and I know I did everything right. so now I just unplug all but the necessary drive.
[22:10] <rymate1234> killerfx: open up a terminal window, and type sudo update-grub
[22:10] <killerfx> ok thats done?
[22:10] <killerfx> so now left shift?
[22:10] <scope> is any one free to help iv up graded and still after 8 hour i cant get my mouse either o them touchpad or exturnal to work properly
[22:10] <killerfx> when i boot?
[22:10] <sun_devil> Kodak
[22:10] <killerfx> sorry for using new lines :(
[22:10]  * zykotick9 guesses recon_lap will get Kodak as an answer
[22:10] <rymate1234> you reboot
[22:10] <rymate1234> silly
[22:10] <rymate1234> can't switch os whilst pc is running
[22:10] <recon_lap> lol
[22:10] <killerfx> i know that xD
[22:10] <brobeans> where can i get help with screen/monitor hardware?
[22:10] <killerfx> ok well thanks guys ill br right back to see what happend xD
[22:11] <rymate1234> ye
[22:11] <rymate1234> you choose on a menu
[22:11] <sun_devil> Kodak ESP 7 All in one
[22:11] <scope> iv tryed gksudo etc/default/gedit and still nothing
[22:11] <zykotick9> scope: /etc/default/gedit?  gedit? do you mean grub?  and notice the first /
[22:11] <zykotick9> scope: PLUS you need "gksudo gedit /PATH"
[22:12] <scope> ok one second  thats where im going wrong
[22:12] <scope> let me try that
[22:12] <sun_devil> I wish Kodak could help but they never heard of Linux
[22:12] <rymate1234> lol
[22:13] <mgolisch> shouldnt it work just as any other networked printer?
[22:13]  * rymate1234 will brb!
[22:14] <sun_devil> added printer, says it a Kodak, but without cups or god knows what else it does not work
[22:14] <scope> nope i still get an error saying mallisious software is listening or an application is drawing attention
[22:14] <mgolisch> sun_devil: so what did you do? and what doenst work?
[22:15] <sun_devil> added printer
[22:15] <blumonkey> how do i copy and paste something from my terminal into pastebin to show you guys?
[22:16] <zykotick9> blumonkey: button3 (usually scroll wheel), or use pastebinit
[22:16] <cfhowlett> !paste|blumonkey
[22:16] <zykotick9> cfhowlett: !pastebinit would have been better ;)
[22:16] <sun_devil> Thanks I will give it another try with a cable
[22:17] <recon_lap> sun_devil: install this http://sourceforge.net/projects/cupsdriverkodak/files/c2esp_15-1_i386.deb/download
[22:17] <tigrang> When I put my computer to standby and resume, all I get is a black screen, no backlight. My dmesg log says "hash matches /build/buildd/linux-3.0.0/drivers/base/power/main.c:587" but theres no hash device for me to go on. Is there anything else I can do to debug this?
[22:17] <elspru> hey, is there any word editor, where I can select a font size lower than 6?
[22:18] <zykotick9> elspru: FYI font size depends on the font used (just something to consider, there are some tiny fonts available)
[22:18] <kakarotoso> hello
[22:18] <kakarotoso> everyone
[22:18] <kakarotoso> anyone's here ?
[22:19] <zykotick9> kakarotoso: do you have a question?  if so, ask it.
[22:19] <cfhowlett> zykotick9: http://imagebin.org/198119
[22:19] <ntr0py> How can i control font rendering in Gnome 3?
[22:19] <remsSs> hi everybody
[22:19] <sun_devil> ok downloaded and installed sourceforge
[22:19] <recon_lap> kakarotoso: yes, but 1603 of them are ignoring you :P
[22:19] <kakarotoso> im having a problem with firefox on ubuntu 10.04
[22:19] <cfhowlett> !ask|kakarotoso
[22:19] <elspru> zykotick9: so what's an example of a small font? I haven't seen any.
[22:20] <kakarotoso> alright
[22:20] <tigrang> ntr0py: you need to install gnome-tweak-tool
[22:20] <zykotick9> elspru: have a look at "xfontsel"
[22:20] <kakarotoso> when i start firefox it says "owned by pikolo" and closes it
[22:20] <dephria> salut
[22:20] <tigrang> kakarotoso: well tell gohon to kick his arse
[22:20] <ntr0py> tigrang: yes but with that i cant set subpixel order
[22:20] <zeozan> i want to upgrade to gnome 3.3.5 how ?
[22:20] <recon_lap> lol
[22:20] <tigrang> ntr0py: you can
[22:21] <cfhowlett> kakarotoso: http://www.findownersearch.com/pikolo-systems-group-inc-4861043-company-brands.html
[22:21] <tigrang> ntr0py: preetty sure you can at least
[22:21] <kakarotoso> tigrang: who
[22:21] <ntr0py> tigrang: where is that setting hidden?
[22:21] <zykotick9> elspru: wow, less then 6 is VERY limited.  misc-nil has a 2 option (can't even see it barely)
[22:21] <tigrang> ntr0py: yea actually looks like its not there
[22:22] <sun_devil> I  get a processing but nothing spits it out
[22:22] <kakarotoso> tigrang: its a virus
[22:22] <ntr0py> tigrang: there is only none, gray and rgba but i need bgra
[22:23] <saius> just a question: does anyone on this channel actually contribute to ubuntu?
[22:23] <saius> does this op?
[22:23] <cfhowlett> !developer|saius
[22:23] <saius> no i dont want to become a developer
[22:24] <Mahmoud_> can any one help me with this
[22:24] <Mahmoud_> Can't login: 'Could not update ICEauthority file'
[22:24] <xxiao> i found on ubuntu 10.04 64bit RAID0 is slower than single drive?!
[22:24] <saius> just wondering if anyone here actually actively helps in the ubuntu development
[22:24] <xxiao> it's supposed to be 2x faster
[22:24] <ianl`> is it possible to set the user with upstartd, I want to start a process as a specific user and not root?
[22:24] <kakarotoso> ubuntu 10.04 , when i start firefox it says "owned by pikolo" and closes it
[22:25] <tigrang> When I put my computer to standby and resume, all I get is a black screen, no backlight. My dmesg log says "hash matches /build/buildd/linux-3.0.0/drivers/base/power/main.c:587" but theres no hash device for me to go on. Is there anything else I can do to debug this?
[22:25] <recon_lap> kakarotoso: maybe a reinstall of firefox might fix your problem
[22:25] <cfhowlett> kakarotoso: suggest you purge reboot and reinstall
[22:25] <YanGM> hello
[22:25] <cfhowlett> YanGM: greetings
[22:25] <zykotick9> kakarotoso: moving your ~/.mozilla folder might be a better first test
[22:25] <kakarotoso> recon_lap: Qazjap11 have it too
[22:26] <K`zan> Hi folks, I am trying to build an app and get the message "gdk version... Package gtk+-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path." out of ./configure and I looked in Synaptic for that and it doesn't appear to be there,  help please?
[22:26] <recon_lap> kakarotoso: but i'd backup and scan my important files and nuke that hdd , and be more careful in furture about what i installed and who i gave my passwords to
[22:27] <Qazjap11> kakarotoso, don't...
[22:27] <recon_lap> kakarotoso: also i'd change all passwords immediately
[22:27] <recon_lap> kakarotoso: that is if your firefox has been hacked
[22:27] <kakarotoso> recon_lap: i heard u cant get infected with viruses on linux
[22:27] <_skpl> can someone tell me how to set the permissions for a device (scanner) so that any user can use it?
[22:27] <sun_devil> Job completed but nothing from the printer
[22:27] <recon_lap> kakarotoso: you can install them though
[22:27] <fourtyfourty5> Vould just be a
[22:27] <fourtyfourty5> lj
[22:28] <cfhowlett> recon_lap: serarched ffox "owned by pikolo" - no results
[22:28] <fourtyfourty5> Could just be a quick edit on the file. Checked your running processes?
[22:28] <kakarotoso> recon_lap: Qazjap11 said i should install fedora instead
[22:28] <zykotick9> _skpl: see

[22:28] <_skpl> zykes-, ty
[22:29] <sun_devil> I have to get my hands on a cable, thanks
[22:29] <YanGM> If I use a 4GB swap file + 2GB swap partition, can I hibernate?
[22:29] <zeozan> i want to upgrade to gnome 3.3.5 how ?
[22:29] <recon_lap> kakarotoso: sure sounds like you've had you system compromised
[22:29] <CharminTheMoose> Can I delete /dev/sdX and/or /dev/hdX device files whilst udev is running and not worry about them automagically being recreated?
[22:29] <guilhermecm> execuse me
[22:29] <guilhermecm> hello all
[22:29] <zykotick9> YanGM: i don't think swap files can be used for hibernating (by default)
[22:30] <guilhermecm> can someone help me
[22:30] <guilhermecm> with my partitions?
[22:30] <recon_lap> sun_devil: if the printer has already worked over the network , you dont need a cable, it's already setup
[22:30] <zykotick9> zeozan: probably not a good idea.  Check for a PPA though.
[22:30] <guilhermecm> it's really a begginer problem...
[22:30] <dragonfly> sure guilhermecm
[22:30] <cfhowlett> !ask|guilhermecm:
[22:30] <kakarotoso> !ask| guilhermecm
[22:30] <kakarotoso> !ask| guilhermecm
[22:30] <kakarotoso> :P
[22:30] <guilhermecm> so
[22:30] <recon_lap> kakarotoso: who is qazjap11?
[22:30] <zeozan> zykotick9: is there ppa for dev version ?
[22:31] <guilhermecm> I installed GParted here, to try to solve my problem
[22:31] <kakarotoso> recon_lap: he sent me the virus
[22:31] <zykotick9> zeozan: ?  you'd have to check
[22:31] <zeozan> ok
[22:31] <guilhermecm> I think my partitions are occuping
[22:31] <guilhermecm> to many space
[22:31] <zeozan> thnx anyway
[22:31] <YanGM> I have 6GB ram, but I want share swap file with windows, so IDK if hibernate works with 2 pieces, one on file and other on partition
[22:31] <guilhermecm> I tried to install my ubuntu many times and so
[22:31] <guilhermecm> I think I have many useless partitions here
[22:31] <Mipsalawishus> When is 12.04 going to be released ?
[22:31] <zykotick9> zeozan: repeat one more time, "probably not a good idea"
[22:31] <guilhermecm> I don't know anything about partitions
[22:31] <dragonfly> guilhermecm: are you on Ubuntu or windows righ now?
[22:31] <recon_lap> kakarotoso: and what is 4 plus 2 ?
[22:31] <guilhermecm> I can send a photo
[22:31] <fourtyfourty5> April maybe?
[22:31] <guilhermecm> I'm in ubuntu, right now
[22:32] <elspru> zykotick9: misc isn't a font on my ubuntu,  and nil is just some straight-lines,  there aren't actually any letters in it.
[22:32] <guilhermecm> btw, how can I send a private msg?

[22:32] <kirkland> imnichol: I am the maintainer of ecryptfs, I am an Ubuntu Core Developer, and I worked for Canonical at the time that I implemented the feature
[22:32] <ntr0py> Is is possible to use proper subpixel antialiasing in gnome 3 for BGR monitor?
[22:32] <guilhermecm> dragonfly
[22:32] <guilhermecm> !dragonfly test
[22:32] <Mipsalawishus> Fourtyfourty5: thank you
[22:32] <recon_lap> kakarotoso: wondering if you are a bot :)
[22:33] <imnichol> kirkland, hold on, gotta remember what I was asking
[22:33] <kirkland> imnichol: note, though, that dmcrypt is used for encrypting swap, and can be used to encrypt the full disk, if you install from the Ubuntu Alternate or Ubuntu Server installer
[22:33] <kakarotoso> recon_lap: how fast your ubuntu boot ?
[22:33] <recon_lap> ok, can someone kick the bot
[22:33] <zykotick9> elspru: does ubuntu have a package "ttf-atarismall - Very small 4 x 8 font"?
[22:33] <fourtyfourty5> kakarotoso: try running "ps aux | grep firefox" to see if you have anything unusual on there.
[22:34] <kakarotoso> recon_lap: im not a bot
[22:34] <imnichol> kirkland, so ecryptfs is just for home directories and can't be used to encrypt the root directory?
[22:34] <rubst3r> lulz
[22:34] <kirkland> imnichol: not easily, no
[22:34] <elspru> zykotick9: installing
[22:35] <imnichol> kirkland, thank you very much!
[22:35] <ntr0py> tigrang: i tried "gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings rgba-order 'bgr'" which no effect
[22:35] <imnichol> kirkland, by the way, I really appreciate the work you've done.  ecryptfs is awesome
[22:35] <zykotick9> elspru: i just got that from a "apt-cache search font | grep small" no idea on it's quality, or actual size
[22:35] <kirkland> imnichol: cheers ;-)
[22:36] <zykotick9> elspru: but the description sounds promising ;)
[22:36] <chucknorris> anybody else getting a prompt to download "ai.php" when they use facebook on firefox on ubuntu?
[22:37] <elspru> zykotick9: yep I installed it, problem is, that abiword still sees the smallest size as 8, so it bloats the font to that size.
[22:38] <reCAPTCHA> Can someone suggest to me a tiny wifi dongle that works perfectly with 10.04?
[22:38] <zykotick9> elspru: ummm, sorry i don't have any other suggestions.  good luck!
[22:39] <zykotick9> elspru: i certainly didn't think <6 fonts would be so difficult.  sorry for wasting your time.

[22:39] <elspru> zykotick9: it's okay thanks, :-) I learned about Atari small fonts
[22:40] <jbrks> there such a thing as a mailinglist client, that can sort incoming messages to separate threads?
[22:40] <tigrang> When I put my computer to standby and resume, all I get is a black screen, no backlight. My dmesg log says "hash matches /build/buildd/linux-3.0.0/drivers/base/power/main.c:587" but theres no hash device for me to go on. Is there anything else I can do to debug this?
[22:40] <zykotick9> elspru: the text based email client mutt, does that by default.  very handy feature.
[22:40] <lytithwyn> jbrks: thunderbird does a pretty good job of this for me.  It even has a "reply to list" option for messages sent to a list.
[22:41] <zykotick9> jbrks: see my TAB fail message to elspru above
[22:41] <reCAPTCHA> recon_lap: Ive seen that... they dont list them by "is tiny?"
[22:41] <jbrks> zykotick9, interesting.. i'll look into that
[22:41] <reCAPTCHA> recon_lap: I was just hoping someone had some experience.
[22:42] <dritchie> anyone doing dual monitors with dwm?

[22:43] <zykotick9> jbrks: FYI mutt can also delete or mark read entire threads, even more handy then just presenting them together

[22:48] <lanoxx> what does dereferencing pointer to incomplete type mean?
[22:49] <CharminTheMoose> Can I delete /dev/sdX and/or /dev/hdX device files whilst udev is running and not worry about them automagically being recreated?
[22:50] <RokcStar> hi
[22:50] <cfhowlett> RokcStar: greetings
[22:51] <lytithwyn> lannoxx: This isn't really a programming chat.  Try here, though.  http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2576554/c-programming-dereferencing-pointer-to-incomplete-type-error
[22:52] <The_Phantom_Rat_> im having an issue here with my ubuntu 11.**
[22:52] <The_Phantom_Rat_> anyone here that can help
[22:53] <recon_lap> The_Phantom_Rat_: wont know till you ask your question
[22:53] <lytithwyn> The_Phantom_Ra_: usually you just type the problem itself and anyone who can answer will pipe up.  If noone responds, then noone online at them moment knows.
[22:53] <lytithwyn> Can't type nicks right today.  Sorry.
[22:54] <bgs2> hey everyone.  I've got a very noob-ish question about installing a particular package and wondered if anyone wouldn't mind helping.  version 11.10, the pkg is an old favorite x game called xjewel.
[22:54] <bgs2> i've found a copy of a .deb file and I use synaptic to install it, but when it runs, I get an error message about a missing font.
[22:56] <The_Phantom_Rat_> ok so i had the same problem with my laptop and fixed it. Dont remember how but now i have it on my desctop after the splash screen it comes to the log on and says something like the configuration Defaults for Gnome power management have not been installed correctly
[22:56] <The_Phantom_Rat_> and wont login
[22:56] <RokcStar> exit
[22:57] <The_Phantom_Rat_> have you seen this before recon_lap
[22:57] <lytithwyn> The_Phantom_Rat_: have you tried `dpkg-reconfigure gnome-power-manager` ?
[22:58] <The_Phantom_Rat_> yep
[22:58] <The_Phantom_Rat_> no wait reconfigure
[22:58] <The_Phantom_Rat_> no
[22:58] <The_Phantom_Rat_> i tried to reinstall but no lan internet connection only a ppp protocole dongle
[22:58] <impact> quit
[22:58] <lytithwyn> The_Phantom_Rat_: that will cause some packages to recopy their configuration files.
[22:58] <impact> exit
[22:59] <The_Phantom_Rat_> ok so it wont login so i should login with terminal right
[22:59] <The_Phantom_Rat_> safemode
[22:59] <undecim> I've got a server that is responding to pings, but I can't SSH into it since I rebooted. I took out the / drive and there is nothing in /var/log to indicate the system even booted.
[22:59] <lytithwyn> The_Phantom_Rat_: You might be able to get to a tty by typing <ctrl><alt><F2>
[23:00] <lytithwyn> Then you can switch back to the graphical console by using <ctrl><alt><F7>
[23:00] <The_Phantom_Rat_> ok give me a second let me hope over there
[23:00] <kanliot> is there a way to make commands i run not stop if i log off
[23:01] <pnorman> kanliot: in the terminal? I use screen for that
[23:01] <The_Phantom_Rat_> login incorrect
[23:01] <kanliot> no like xchat
[23:01] <lytithwyn> Using your normal username and password?
[23:02] <The_Phantom_Rat_> yes
[23:02] <The_Phantom_Rat_> 10.10 is always doing this to me
[23:02] <mgolisch> kanliot: what for?
[23:02] <The_Phantom_Rat_> -__-
[23:02] <kanliot> so i can log off and not quit all my apps
[23:03] <recon_lap> The_Phantom_Rat_ why are you on 10.10 it's not current and not LTS
[23:04] <lytithwyn> The_Phantom_Rat: I've never seen anything cause linux not to recognize a username and password.  You might be able to reset your password by booting a livecd and using chroot.
[23:04] <The_Phantom_Rat_> its not LTS but its the only CD i had
[23:04] <The_Phantom_Rat_> and has a good amount of stuff on the DVD
[23:04] <recon_lap> The_Phantom_Rat_: Haa, ok
[23:04] <The_Phantom_Rat_> im on my laptop now which is 10.08
[23:04] <The_Phantom_Rat_> LTS
[23:04] <The_Phantom_Rat_> and i refuse to use MavricMeercat
[23:05] <cfhowlett> !lts|The_Phantom_Rat_:
[23:05] <zykotick9> !lostpassword | The_Phantom_Rat_ lytithwyn
[23:05] <The_Phantom_Rat_> yea i got that
[23:06] <The_Phantom_Rat_> no its not my pasword 10.10 is pulling that Gnome power configuration settings stunt on me
[23:06] <The_Phantom_Rat_> and giving me grey hairs
[23:06] <bgs2> anyone got any experience with old (~1992) X Windows games and trying to sort out their dependencies and get them to run on 11.10?  I guess that's a good succinct way to phrase my problem.
[23:07] <mgolisch> kanliot: there is xpra but not sure if that helps
[23:07] <zykotick9> The_Phantom_Rat_: but Gnome wouldn't have anything to do with why you can't log in on a VT (ctrl+alt+f1)
[23:07] <lytithwyn> The_Phantom_Rat_: Ah.  You still may be able to fix it via chroot, or perhaps recovery mode will let you log in.  Time to go home to the wife.  Hope you figure it out!
[23:07] <recon_lap> bgs2: you might get more help in ubuntu+1 , you tend to get more dev types in there
[23:07] <bgs2> okay, thanks
[23:07] <The_Phantom_Rat_> nope that doesnt seem to be doing the trick either
[23:07] <zykotick9> bgs2: wait
[23:08] <trism> bgs2: I just rebuilt xjewel from natty on oneiric, and it seems fine
[23:08] <zykotick9> bgs2: 11.10 is supported here, not in #ubuntu+1 (that's for 12.04)
[23:08] <bgs2> cool
[23:08] <helo1> How do I set a script to run once every 5 minutes with cron?
[23:08] <The_Phantom_Rat_> zykotick9 ya it does when this thing happens i had the same problem last yr with my laptop
[23:09] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[23:10] <bgs2> trism: I found the .deb file on a google search, downloaded it, and opened it Synaptic.  Can you tell me the steps you took?
[23:10] <The_Phantom_Rat_> !netsplit over ?
[23:10] <bgs2> trism: bearing in mind I have almost no frame of reference (on a linux knowledge scale from 1-10, I'd rank myself a 1.5)
[23:10] <helo1> Can someone help me use cron
[23:11] <The_Phantom_Rat_> hahaha ubuntu humor
[23:11] <The_Phantom_Rat_> something wicked has happened !netsplit
[23:11] <K`zan> Hi folks, been rooting around the ubuntu web site trying to figure out what the difference is between desktop and enterprise.  Even google was no help with it.  Anyone know?
[23:11] <e4xit> someone help with installing uplink (game) from the ubuntu software store (12.04)? Am i even in the right place?
[23:12] <e4xit> sorry k'zan not too sure.... if you are home user I would go with desktop?
[23:12] <zykotick9> K`zan: enterprise?  where do you see that?
[23:13] <helo1> There is desktop and server
[23:13] <Spec> helo1: echo "*/5 * * * *   username     /full/path/to/script" >> /etc/cron.d/myscriptname
[23:13] <trism> bgs2: I grabbed the *.gz and .dsc from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xjewel/1.6-25, and rebuilt it in pbuilder https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PbuilderHowto
[23:13] <helo1> the difference being a gui and lots of preinstalled stuff
[23:13] <helo1> and support length
[23:13] <zykotick9> helo1: actually the support length is the same (different between LTS and normal releases)
[23:14] <helo1> Spec: thanks
[23:14] <K`zan> e4xit: That is what I am thinking, just not at all clear what the difference is between desktop, enterprise and enterprise cloud.  Most confusing.
[23:14] <dagerik> Is a visual bell possible in ubuntu?
[23:14] <bgs2> trism: okay, thanks.  I'll give that a try.
[23:14] <helo1> zykotick9 Somebody told me in this irc that the server LTS gets 5 years
[23:14] <zykotick9> helo1: that's true, but so will desktop in the new version of LTS
[23:15] <cfhowlett> helo1: 12.04 LTS = 5 years
[23:15] <helo1> Nice :)
[23:15] <helo1> I like that
[23:15] <helo1> 3 years is weak
[23:15] <zykotick9> helo1: regular releases are the same support between desktop and server
[23:15] <e4xit> to be honest k'zan i think that if you dont know what the difference is you go for the desktop.  Its not like windoze where enterprise has more features/etc.  Its more a case of enterprise is stripped down I think
[23:15] <K`zan> zykes-: Trinity has desktop and enterprise releases on ubuntu and the only difference I can see is that desktop comes on a CD image and enterprise on a DVD.  Also there is some talk of enterprise cloud on the ubuntu site, not clear if it is the same thing or something different.
[23:15] <zykotick9> K`zan: that's not Ubuntu
[23:16] <e4xit> like helo1 says above, the enterprise has no gui by default
[23:16] <K`zan> e4xit: I think I'll go with desktop.
[23:16] <e4xit> yes
[23:16] <K`zan> zykotick9: Yup, 'tis :-).
[23:16] <e4xit> a wise choice
[23:16] <bgs2> gotta go.  Thanks for the tips, and have a good night all.
[23:16] <zykotick9> e4xit: there is no Ubuntu Enterprise edition
[23:17] <K`zan> zykes-: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9867510&postcount=5
[23:17] <zykotick9> K`zan: notice your TAB fails?
[23:17] <K`zan> zykotick9: Yeah, didn't hit it the second time :).
[23:17] <grendal-prime> FIGHT THE POWER..
[23:17] <zykotick9> K`zan: UEC - i gotcha, ya that's NOTHING like desktop
[23:17] <grendal-prime> OOPS
[23:18] <grendal-prime> sorry wrong window
[23:18] <FloodBot1> grendal-prime: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[23:19] <K`zan> zykotick9: OK, looks like desktop it is.  They could make it less confusing :-).
[23:20] <The_Phantom_Rat_> will 12.04 also have unity ?
[23:20] <msg> am having a weird problem. Almost every time I press Alt-tab all my menu icons disappear and the application bar dissapears.
[23:20] <zykotick9> The_Phantom_Rat_: of course
[23:20] <mgaunard_> The_Phantom_Rat_: no they're going back to GNOME 2
[23:21] <The_Phantom_Rat_> looks im staying with 10.04
[23:21] <The_Phantom_Rat_> wait their going back
[23:21] <cfhowlett> The_Phantom_Rat_: smart move...
[23:21] <The_Phantom_Rat_> so it will be like 10.04 but refined
[23:21] <recon_lap> mgaunard_: is that true or are you joking
[23:21] <jschall> where can I reliably find a deb package of the latest nvidia beta (currently 295.17)? I tried just downloading the deb from xorg-edgers, but it has dependencies within xorg-edgers and I do not want to run an unstable version of X. any help?
[23:22] <The_Phantom_Rat_> ya i hate unity too arty farty for me
[23:22] <mgaunard_> recon_lap: I wish it were true
[23:22] <zykotick9> The_Phantom_Rat_: "going back" where did you hear that?  Shuttleworth has said they're sticking to Unity
[23:22] <The_Phantom_Rat_> from mgaunard
[23:23] <The_Phantom_Rat_> its up there after ur comment
[23:23] <zykotick9> The_Phantom_Rat_: they're wrong
[23:23] <recon_lap> mgaunard_: i tough so, hopefully by 13.04 i wont find it so annoying
[23:23] <jschall> they're most definitely not going back to gnome 2
[23:23] <cfhowlett> recon_lap: x/l/buntu are also available...
[23:23] <e4xit> I am trying to install the game uplink from here: http://developer.ubuntu.com/2012/02/top-10-ubuntu-app-downloads-for-january-2012/ but when it takes me to the software centre it says there is no such file?
[23:23] <The_Phantom_Rat_> mgaunard_: you said their going back to gnome 2 right
[23:23] <mgaunard_> recon_lap: I don't think that it's possible to not find it annoying. It's just ill-suited to power users.
[23:24] <gogeta> jschall: nope xfce is going to be the replacment
[23:24] <mgaunard_> jschall: download it and install it yourself
[23:24] <catcher> What's the name of the screenshot app installed by default in ubuntu 11?
[23:25] <ActionParsnip> !info gnome-screenshot | catcher
[23:25] <The_Phantom_Rat_> wait what 12.04 is out
[23:25] <gogeta> The_Phantom_Rat_: mate is the forke to make a gtk3 gnome 2 its still very new but you can use it today if you whant thers a ppa
[23:25] <ActionParsnip> The_Phantom_Rat_: its in Alpha2 now
[23:25] <catcher> ty ActionParsnip
[23:25] <cfhowlett> The_Phantom_Rat_: 12.04 will be out in APRIL!
[23:25] <dragonfly> gogeta: sorry, i'm not really paying attention, but xfce is going to be ubuntu default replacement or you are going to be replacing unity with xfce on your system?
[23:25] <The_Phantom_Rat_> its not april
[23:25] <jschall> mgaunard_: would rather use the package because installing nvidia drivers myself breaks things badly if i want to go back. i've ended up with many a hosed box that way.
[23:25] <zykotick9> The_Phantom_Rat_: and 12.04 isn't released, imagine that
[23:25] <recon_lap> mgaunard_: i can see what they tring, but not for me atm, I am hoping that a year will make a big difference.
[23:25] <gogeta> dragonfly: useing sfce insteed of unity yes
[23:26] <gogeta> xfce
[23:26] <cfhowlett> dragonfly: xfce will be the default DE on Ubuntu Studio
[23:26] <The_Phantom_Rat_> aha but its not packed with gnome 2 in it
[23:26] <mgaunard_> recon_lap: it won't.
[23:26] <The_Phantom_Rat_> well then i go back to my previous statment i hate UNITY
[23:26] <The_Phantom_Rat_> im sticking with 10.04
[23:27] <jschall> i'm going to try installing the one from xorg-edgers with --ignore-depends
[23:27] <mgaunard_> The_Phantom_Rat_: or you could just upgrade to 11.10 and disable unity
[23:27] <gogeta> The_Phantom_Rat_: thats fine for now but i think the next version is lts replacing 10.04
[23:27] <gogeta> The_Phantom_Rat_: get xubuntu its ubuntu with xfce by defult
[23:27] <The_Phantom_Rat_> ya every .04 is lts
[23:27] <recon_lap> lts is 3 years is it not?
[23:27] <jschall> nope, doesn't work
[23:27] <ActionParsnip> The_Phantom_Rat_: I'd just install xubuntu if Unity isn't your bag
[23:27] <The_Phantom_Rat_> yes 3 years
[23:28] <recon_lap> 10.04 + 3 = 13.04
[23:28] <zykotick9> The_Phantom_Rat_: no, .04 is realased every year, LTS is every 2
[23:28] <recon_lap> aww crap
[23:28] <The_Phantom_Rat_> o ya
[23:28] <mgaunard_> 11.10 works fine once you've spent a couple of hours setting it up to disable unity and properly emulate a GNOME2-like environment
[23:28] <The_Phantom_Rat_> im slow havent slept in ....3 days
[23:28] <The_Phantom_Rat_> and its 2:30am here in Ethiopia
[23:28] <gogeta> The_Phantom_Rat_: GO TO BED
[23:29] <ActionParsnip> mgaunard_: I'd just install a different DE, simpler time
[23:29] <The_Phantom_Rat_> so on that note thank you guys for the help and the chat ill catch you tomorrow
[23:29] <webmaster> i need install git server in ubuntu 10.10
[23:29] <recon_lap> The_Phantom_Rat_:  go to bed, 3 days without sleep is dangerous
[23:29] <The_Phantom_Rat_> yea it is
[23:29] <The_Phantom_Rat_> thanks guys
[23:29] <The_Phantom_Rat_> cheers
[23:30] <recon_lap> The_Phantom_Rat_: goodnight
[23:30] <catcher> I tried adding a custom keyboard shortcut for gnome-screenshot -a, and no luck..
[23:30] <catcher> Also tried /usr/bin/gnome-screenshot -a  (which is where my g-s bin is)
[23:31] <catcher> Do I need to run exec or something?
[23:31] <catcher> I should point out running it from the terminal works well, and the normal prtscrn shortcut works well.
[23:31] <webmaster> como instalar servidor git en ubuntu 10.10
[23:31] <cfhowlett> !es|webmaster:
[23:32] <mikej2> Anyone here used live-boot with Ubuntu? I'm having some problems with creating a network boot image with a plain chroot filesystem (squashfs just works).
[23:32] <ActionParsnip> catcher: could use:   import -window root ~/screenshot.png         install imagemagick and you can use that :)
[23:32] <jschall> how do i get the nvidia beta drivers (295.17)? last time I tried installing using nvidia's installer i ended up with a hosed ubuntu installation
[23:33] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: scrot is a really hand cli screenshot app
[23:33] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: same kinda bag
[23:36] <gexol> hi guys
[23:36] <cfhowlett> gexol: greetings
[23:36] <recon_lap> goodnight
[23:36] <CJKay> jschall: Download the driver from their website and don't hose your system this time
[23:37] <CJKay> gexol: Hello
[23:37] <jschall> CJKay: except that installing the thing at all hoses the system, because it replaces files that were placed there by the package manager
[23:38] <gexol> I've installed ubuntu minimal from pendrive, but the boot loader GRUB was installed on pendrive. How do I get to install GRUB on hard disk?
[23:38] <jschall> real useful advice, CJKay/ubuntu channel. i'll leave you to arguing about unity now, i guess...
[23:38] <CJKay> jschall: sudo apt-get remove nvidia-current then
[23:38] <cfhowlett> !grub|gexol
[23:39] <jschall> CJKay: replaces files that are in X, too, i think
[23:39] <CharminTheMoose> Can I delete /dev/sdX and/or /dev/hdX device files whilst udev is running and not worry about them automagically being recreated?
[23:39] <gexol> thanks cfhowlett
[23:39] <CJKay> I never had that problem
[23:39] <jschall> CJKay: anyway, last time i tried installing it, i wanted to revert for some reason, and trying to install nvidia-current again hosed the system
[23:39] <CJKay> I've done it manually more times than I've done it via apt
[23:39] <CJKay> Strange
[23:39] <CJKay> That definitely shouldn't have happened
[23:40] <gexol> can someone advice me a minimal graphic browser?
[23:40] <jschall> CJKay: also iirc there's something set to prevent the nvidia installer from even running that you have to change if you want to manually install
[23:40] <jschall> CJKay: which shouldn't be there if manually installing was "safe"
[23:40] <helo1> Spec: This line returns Permission denied. echo "*/5 * * * *   username     /full/path/to/script" >> /etc/cron.d/myscriptname
[23:40] <CJKay> Not that I remember
[23:40] <helo1> I tried it with sudo
[23:40] <birbante80> ciao
[23:40] <birbante80> !list
[23:40] <CJKay> Just need to be in the right runlevel because you don't want it running at the same time as X
[23:40] <cfhowlett> !it|birbante80:
[23:41] <jschall> CJKay: anyway, bottom line is that a deb package can be safely reverted and nvidia's installer can't. so i want a deb package if at all possible.
[23:42] <CJKay> In that case I don't know of anywhere distributing beta packages
[23:42] <jschall> CJKay: and it's available from xorg-edgers but that involves using xorg-edgers which gives you unstable X, as well
[23:43] <jschall> CJKay: and since ppa-purge doesn't ever work at all, reverting a ppa is basically impossible.
[23:43] <jschall> CJKay: except in the simplest of circumstances, of course
[23:43] <CJKay> May I ask what exactly do you need specifically of the beta drivers over the stable ones?
[23:44] <jschall> CJKay: fixes a vdpau bug i have, i hope
[23:44] <subh> hi i am getting this error wht is possible reason http://pastebin.com/4zkc9JuU
[23:45] <cfhowlett> !python|subh
[23:45] <jschall> actually, i think i'll just install xorg-edgers
[23:45] <CJKay> jschall: Ubuntu version?
[23:45] <theunsureguy> random Q - what's a good channel for unix beginners? one's primarily playing with OS X terminal?
[23:45] <jschall> CJKay: oneiric
[23:46] <birbante80> ciao
[23:47] <birbante80> !list
[23:47] <Spec> helo1: sorry. sudo su -, and then run it.
[23:47] <brontosaurusrex> theunsureguy: maybe #bash
[23:47] <kraz3d> What's a simple photo editor similiar to Microsoft Paint for linux?
[23:47] <xytras> could i pay some one here to install a raidcontroller on ubuntu 10.11 x64
[23:47] <Tammis> Look at this:
[23:48] <theunsureguy> brontosaurusrex - is there a channel on this network called #bash? - thanks!
[23:48] <Tammis> "lord knows i would love nothing better then to rape castrate skewer through on a spit and tear the throut out of the bitch doctor that circumcised my person asa newborn at the time it was done to me"
[23:48] <dragonfly> kraz3d: it's not exactly simple and way more featured than you are probably looking for, but GIMP is really good
[23:48] <urlin2u> xytras, 10.11?
[23:48] <Tammis> Anyone else feel the same?
[23:48] <xytras> yes urlin2u
[23:48] <brontosaurusrex> theunsureguy: yes
[23:48] <ablyss> kraz3d, kolourpaint is good
[23:48] <kraz3d> dragonfly: Yeah, I've messed with gimp a little bit. I was just hoping for something a tiny bit simpler.
[23:48] <urlin2u> !op | Tammis
[23:48] <kraz3d> ablyss: Thanks, i'll check it out.
[23:48] <theunsureguy> brontosaurusrex
[23:48] <theunsureguy> brontosaurusrex - thanks*
[23:49] <CJKay> jschall: Looks like that's your only way m'afraid
[23:49] <urlin2u> xytras, that not a real OS it is 10.04 or 10.10
[23:49] <brontosaurusrex> theunsureguy: also maybe #mac
[23:49] <gexol> good night guys
[23:49] <urlin2u> xytras, or 11.04 0r 11.10
[23:49] <jellow> kraz3d: Perhaps TuxPaint would suit your needs
[23:50] <xytras> 11.10 sorry about that
[23:50] <ActionParsnip> kraz3d: mtpaint is simple
[23:50] <urlin2u> xytras, cool no problem. :)
[23:50] <xytras> would you be interested urlin2u?
[23:51] <urlin2u> I would help If I could xytras
[23:51] <LjL> xytras: this is not paid support... Canonical does offer paid support, see /msg ubottu !support for that - or perhaps just wait and see if someone can help you for free here
[23:52] <helo1> Spec: thanks. It appears to have worked. I'll come back in 5 and let you know the outcome
[23:52] <xytras> everok
[23:52] <xytras> OK**
[23:52]  * LjL LARTs Spec for sudo su :P
[23:52] <ToxiK> hello :)
[23:52] <Gskellig> what can I use to burn/extract a .dmg file in ubuntu?
[23:52] <mattalexx> In Banshee, I have an album that contains multiple artists. I have edited the tracks' meta data and set the "Album Artist" field with a consistent value, but the browser interface still lists every artist individually. What can I do about this?
[23:53] <LjL> Gskellig: you can extract it with p7zip-full, as to burning it, no idea
[23:53] <xytras> Well when i try to install the controller i run the make command it says something like it can only install on kernal 2.6 or 2.4 and version 2.0 is not supported... 11.10 is version 3 right?
[23:53] <LjL> !info linux-image
[23:54] <LjL> xytras: apparently, yes
[23:54] <mavrick95> hello ActionParsnip
[23:54] <mavrick95> hi zykotick9
[23:54] <LjL> xytras: maybe the Makefile is silly and only checks for the number after the dot :\
[23:54] <dicannamas> cant wait to have the new ubuntu version and get ready of so many system crashing
[23:54] <xytras> LjL what u mean?
[23:54] <_Marcus> How do I change the resolution of the command line(no GUI)
[23:54] <_Marcus> Right now it's big and annoying
[23:55] <xytras> brb getting the exact error
[23:55] <LjL> xytras: i mean if the kernel version is x.y, ity only checks for y>=4, and doesn't check for x, so it thinks kernel 3.0 is kernel 2.0
[23:55] <LjL> xytras: just a theory
[23:56] <_Marcus> It's currently like this: http://i.imgur.com/oIRgR.png and I want it less big. How would I do so? Is it Virtual Box settings?
[23:57] <Gskellig> p7zip-full "unknown suffix" with dmg file LjL
[23:57] <ActionParsnip> Gskellig: http://askubuntu.com/questions/38112/how-can-i-open-a-dmg
[23:57] <helo1> Spec: the script doesn't appear to be running
[23:57] <LjL> Gskellig: oh, weird, the APT description said it supports it :\
[23:58] <helo1> Spec: is there a way I can check if it is for sure?
[23:58] <cfhowlett> _Marcus: install guest additions should fix that
[23:59] <Gskellig> convert from .dmg to .img then convert from .img to .iso then burn
[23:59] <Gskellig> wow
[23:59] <Gskellig> thanks ActionParsnip lol
[23:59] <_Marcus> cfhowlett: How?
[23:59] <ActionParsnip> helo1: add echos and such in the script, so you can see what is going on
[23:59] <tigrang> When I put my computer to standby and resume, all I get is a black screen, no backlight. My dmesg log says "hash matches /build/buildd/linux-3.0.0/drivers/base/power/main.c:587" but theres no hash device for me to go on. Is there anything else I can do to debug this?
[23:59] <cfhowlett> _Marcus: check the virtual box help manual for "guest additions"
