[00:02] <geirha> rpg32: Don't look for topic experts. Just ask.
[00:02] <nicekiwi> hey I had Ubuntu installed inside windows, but somehow the Grub menu thing on the windows drive got messed up and errors when I try to boot into windows. How can I fix that?
[00:05] <Fyodorovna> nicekiwi, so what do you get when you power on now MS bootloader or grub
[00:05] <rpg32> well i was just wondering if anyone could help me gain better understanding about database normalization... specifically i was wondering if it makes sense to have a database of dates with date ids for a social networking site
[00:05] <berevgia> i was trying to "fix" my wired network and i broke everything in my ubuntu machine (now im using my mac), not even the wireless is working, i lost the network icon and been playing a lot, i think that the problem is the file /etc/network/interfaces, is there any standard way it should look like? the only two lines i have are: auto lo \n iface lo inet loopback. I'm trying to connect using wpa_supplicant, but the interfaces file looks very different from min
[00:06] <rpg32> since dates will be stored for various things... i.e. when were you born, when did you graduate, so on
[00:06] <nicekiwi> Fyodorovna: something like "cannot find device: 43h2iu4h234h324h23oh4jj2i3 <- some random string of numbers and letter, then the grub commandline comes up
[00:06] <Fyodorovna> nicekiwi, so no bootloader but maybe this grub>
[00:07] <LBo> Does anyone know where the remmina (remote desktop) config is stored?
[00:07] <nicekiwi> Fyodorovna: oh yeah
[00:07] <penta> hi guys, I find that the search feature (Alt-F2) of Unity is very unresponsive...
[00:07] <tr33m4n> rpg32, try asking at #sql
[00:07] <penta> it seems like it's completely ignoring the keyboard
[00:07] <pythonsnake> penta: does it come up after you wait?
[00:08] <Fyodorovna> nicekiwi, you had a b\grub update that overwrote the mbr if your only getting grub>  you have a restore or install disc for windows?
[00:08] <Fyodorovna> s/grub
[00:08] <penta> pythonsnake, no...
[00:08] <nicekiwi> Fyodorovna: i do.. but that didnt seem to work :/
[00:08] <Fyodorovna> nicekiwi, the autorepair does not work generally. did you try that?
[00:08] <nicekiwi> Fyodorovna: yes
[00:09] <Fyodorovna> nicekiwi, what is the windows version
[00:09] <soccermitchy> I need a 32 bit library to launch XAMPP. Any ones you know?
[00:09] <nicekiwi> Fyodorovna: windows 7 x64
[00:09] <chelz> what's a good way to get a list of all the packages in main? i have the "allpackages" file from packages.ubuntu.com but packages aren't marked with "main"
[00:09] <penta> pythonsnake, I looked at ~/.xsession-error, there is some warning, corresponding to certain keypress
[00:09] <soccermitchy> *32 bit compatibility library
[00:09] <pythonsnake> paste?
[00:10] <Fyodorovna> nicekiwi, boot the disc after language hit r for repair go to the terminal and run bootrec.exe /fixmbr
[00:10] <Fyodorovna> nicekiwi, there are other commands if this doesn't work.
[00:10] <nicekiwi> Fyodorovna: hmmm ok, brb
[00:11] <chelz> soccermitchy: you use multiarch
[00:11] <chelz> soccermitchy: http://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/Implementation
[00:11] <chelz> soccermitchy: http://www.google.com/search?q=multiarch+oneiric
[00:11] <pfifo> soccermitchy, you dont want xampp, you want a real lamp
[00:11] <soccermitchy> Ok.
[00:11] <quietone> where do I go to report a bug concerning Ubuntu wiki?
[00:11] <chelz> soccermitchy: oh wait, yeah if you want xamp then install from the repos
[00:11] <Flannel> soccermitchy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP
[00:12] <Nicekiwi_> Fyodorovna: Chnaged devices
[00:12] <soccermitchy> ?
[00:12] <quietone> I've tried launchpad and am stuck in an loop, I am logged in and it send me to a page asking me to login
[00:13] <Fyodorovna> Nicekiwi, ?
[00:13] <pfifo> soccermitchy, if you install the oficall lamp stack from the repos, you wont need any extra libs, and it will be native 64bit
[00:13] <itaylor57> !lamp | soccermitchy
[00:13] <DSee> Hello, what's a good substitute for "curlpaste" for Ubuntu? something you can paste the results of a command/program to (pastebin) automatically?
[00:14] <chelz> DSee: pastebinit
[00:14] <soccermitchy> I like XAMPP better...
[00:14] <pfifo> DSee, 'pastebinit'
[00:14] <chelz> !pastebinit | DSee
[00:14] <kaiyin> GDM won't start when the machine starts, please help.
[00:14] <chelz> soccermitchy: too bad
[00:14] <chelz> soccermitchy: repos are superior
[00:14] <pfifo> soccermitchy, if you use xampp you will have headaches, not to mention, its unsupported 3rd party software
[00:15] <delerium> getting 'no space left on device' error, but it's not true
[00:15] <kaiyin> I have already done this: sudo update-rc.d gdm defaults
[00:15] <berevgia> i was trying to "fix" my wired network and i broke everything in my ubuntu machine (now im using my mac), not even the wireless is working, i lost the network icon, i think that the problem is the file /etc/network/interfaces, the only two lines i have are: auto lo \n iface lo inet loopback. I'm trying to connect using wpa_supplicant.
[00:15] <Flannel> quietone: You want to file a bug against ubuntu-website (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-website and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-website/+filebug)
[00:16] <kaiyin> But when I restart, the PC just hangs at the ubuntu logo screen.
[00:16] <pfifo> delerium, are you out of inodes?
[00:16] <quietone> Flannel, thank you. That takes me to the sign in page I can't get past
[00:16] <daftykins> berevgia: no, that file is practically empty when using network manager to manage the interfaces
[00:17] <pfifo> quietone, no wonder there has never been a bug report about it then
[00:17] <Nicekiwi> Fyodorovna: It worked!!! :D th anks you so much!!
[00:18] <Flannel> quietone: Ok, try going to regular-old launchpad.net, are you logged in? (top right)?
[00:18] <Flannel> quietone: Do you have cookies disabled or anything?
[00:18] <Fyodorovna> Nicekiwi, my pleasure. :)
[00:18] <levu> is there a channel for precise?
[00:18] <Nicekiwi> Mmmmm cookies
[00:18] <Flannel> levu: #ubuntu+1
[00:18] <berevgia> @daftykins: thanks, any suggestion on how to make the icon back? i was installing: ppa:network-manager/trunk and then i broke everything.
[00:18] <pfifo> !12.04 | levu
[00:18] <levu> Flannel: thanks
[00:19] <Flannel> quietone: The wiki says you can also go to #ubuntu-website to talk about it, so you can perhaps go there and have them help file the bug for you/etc?  They may be able to help with the launchpad issue (although that should probably be #launchpad)
[00:20] <User_007> hello, i made some changes in a package source and i want to upload it to my ppa, how can i generate a .changes so i can upload it?
[00:21] <soccermitchy> A regular lamp stack is sounding better by the minute.
[00:21] <soccermitchy> But how do I start/stop/restart all the services in that type? I'm used to typing "sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start" to start everything.
[00:22] <quietone> Flannel, sorry it was a cookie, which I has all ready checked twice. I just deleted all my blocked cookies.
[00:22] <soccermitchy> And where do my files go?
[00:23] <tr33m4n> soccermitchy, sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop/start/restart, or sudo service apache2 stop/start/restart etc
[00:23] <soccermitchy> Ok
[00:23] <tr33m4n> soccermitchy, that's for Apache, similar thing for mysql
[00:23] <soccermitchy> And the website files?
[00:23] <daftykins> berevgia: beyond me i'm afraid, can you purge reinstall network-manager ? if that's even a package
[00:24] <tr33m4n> soccermitchy, are usually located in /var/www... and setting files for apache2 are /etc/apache2, php settings /etc/php5
[00:24] <trism> User_007: debuild -S; assuming you have your keys setup
[00:24] <soccermitchy> Ok, thanks.
[00:25] <DSee> Thanks guys! pastebinit works fine :)
[00:25] <berevgia> @daftykins: that's whaty i'm googligng right now….. they talk about wicd network manager too, i'll see what i can fidn, thanks a lot!!!
[00:27] <pythonsnake> How can I install on a pc without usb port nor cd?
[00:27] <pfifo> pythonsnake, network install
[00:28] <pfifo> pythonsnake, or put the harddrive in a box with usb/cdrom
[00:28] <faissal_> hi guys, i got an issue with the osd overlay icon for volume. you know when you use the media keys on your keyboard for volume up or down, this fancy onscreen display overlay comes up and its supposed to be nice looking and all. well mine is ugly. nothing wrong with the icon in itself, its just that you see a pack of pixels instead of the actual speaker icon. it seems to be a low resolution picture. has anyone ever encountered that or has an
[00:28] <faissal_> idea ? thanks !
[00:28] <fuhreal> Hi everyone, can someone point me to the log that would show what failed to mount on boot?
[00:28] <quietone> Flannel, thanks! Second time lucky, last time I did it the bug report didn't get saved
[00:29] <pfifo> fuhreal, dmesg should have that info
[00:29] <soccermitchy> What are the package names for PHP, MySQL and Apache?
[00:30] <Flannel> quietone: Glad you got it figured out :)
[00:30] <pythonsnake> can i do it from windows?
[00:30] <wylde> soccermitchy: you could do tasksel and select lamp
[00:30] <faissal_> anyone ? please ?
[00:30] <pfifo> soccermitchy, you should be installing with tasksel
[00:31] <pfifo> pythonsnake, no
[00:31] <tr33m4n> soccermitchy, yeah as wylde said either 'sudo tasksel' or have a look at this http://www.linuxcandy.com/2011/11/how-to-install-lamp-in-ubuntu-1110.html
[00:31] <soccermitchy> Ok.
[00:31] <soccermitchy> But why tasksel?
[00:31] <fuhreal> pfifo, unfortunately its not there....
[00:31] <tr33m4n> soccermitchy, it's the safest and easiest way
[00:31] <wylde> soccermitchy: I shoud say LAMP server, is how it's listed
[00:31] <fuhreal> pfifo, it is an error displayed during the ubuntu splash
[00:32] <soccermitchy> Ok.
[00:32] <faissal_> i can provide screenshots if you want : http://i40.tinypic.com/fw3b4x.jpg
[00:33] <skorket> I have a particular USB device that crashes my computer when plugged in.  I haven't had this trouble with any other USB device.  I'm not sure if it's a software or a hardware issue (my computer has been flakey in the past with regards to hardware).  Does anyone have any suggestions on how to debug?  I'm running Ubuntu 11.10
[00:34] <wylde> skorket: I'd start by looking at dmesg and the syslog etc.
[00:34] <skorket> wylde, what am I looking for?
[00:35] <pfifo> fuhreal, if you boot witout 'quiet splash' you might get an informative message
[00:35] <wylde> skorket:  System > Administration > System Log Viewer , basically anything that looks wrong or explicitly declares an error
[00:35] <chromaticwt> is it possible to upgrade a lts release to a more modern ubuntu?
[00:36] <chromaticwt> without a clean install?
[00:36] <pfifo> chromaticwt, yes
[00:36] <wylde> skorket: I'm sure some of the more experienced in here could pop a grep thislog.log line at you to help :)
[00:37] <CharminTheMoose> Is it possible for me to edit the 11.04 initrd such that I can remove udev and just have a static set of devices in there?
[00:37] <chromaticwt> neat. is it usually a clean upgrade or can problems arise?
[00:37] <pfifo> chromaticwt, `sudo apt-get dist-upgrade`
[00:37] <pfifo> chromaticwt, I have never successfully upgraded
[00:37] <chromaticwt> pfifo: you have tried though?
[00:37] <fuhreal> pfifo, ok thanks, i'll try
[00:38] <pfifo> chromaticwt, I always try, theres always problems
[00:38] <cypher> I have upgraded from 10.04 all the way up to 11.10 without any problems
[00:38] <chromaticwt> hm...
[00:38] <chromaticwt> I will probably just do a clean install, and backup my files.
[00:39] <cypher> If you use ccsm make sure to disable it or remove it first
[00:39] <wylde> I've noticed the more you've customized the higher the chance of upgrade fail heh
[00:39] <chromaticwt> just to be sure.
[00:41] <chromaticwt> I'm more concerned about "hidden" problems with upgrades. problems that don't show up until later.
[00:42] <wylde> heh, that's why I'll putter along with my 10.04 until 12.04 becomes stable :)
[00:42] <pfifo> one time i tried to sidegrade from 9.10 to debian 6.0
[00:42] <cypher> I never had any but if you want to be 100% satisfied just do a clean install, and you won't be kicking yourself in the ass l8r on down the road
[00:42] <Fyodorovna> pfifo, didn't work so well did it, lol. :)
[00:43] <pfifo> Fyodorovna, failed upgrading upstart
[00:43] <chelz> where does one get a package list for an ubuntu iso?
[00:45] <pfifo> chelz, on the iso, look at the file casper/filesystem.manifest
[00:46] <lechevalier> goodnight for all people ... bye
[00:46] <lechevalier> à+++
[00:46] <skorket> wylde, I see where I plugged in the device in the syslog, I don't think there are any errors, then it just crashes
[00:47] <crossfader> hi
[00:47] <pfifo> skorket, what happens when you plug in the device?
[00:48] <wylde> skorket: did you happen to look in dmesg or udev?
[00:48] <crossfader> i try to boot my ubuntu kernel (on the local system) into a NFS-root-partition
[00:48] <Russ_W_> I have tested 12.04 Beta 1 64 bit Live CD and can only get to web sites by typing the IP address.  Has anyone else seen this issue?
[00:49] <PoolShark_> Russ: not me
[00:49] <pfifo> Russ_W_, join #ubuntu+1
[00:49] <skorket> pfifo, after a few seconds I am no longer able to input anything (i.e. no mouse, no keyboard).  After a few more, mplayer which was still playing in the background stops.  I have to reboot after that
[00:49] <pfifo> skorket, does unplugging it fix the issue?
[00:49] <Russ_W_> Thank you PoolShark_ pfifo
[00:49] <skorket> pfifo, no
[00:50] <pfifo> skorket, is the device known to work on other computers/operating systems
[00:50] <skorket> pfifo, I plugged it into a windows machine (running XP I think) with no issues.  It did not crash the computer and I was able to communicate with the device normally.
[00:51] <pfifo> skorket, if the device is powered, are you using a usb port that is able to provide enough power?
[00:52] <skorket> pfifo, hmm, I assume so but I don't know how to test that
[00:52] <chelz> pfifo: can't say i'm finding that file
[00:52] <pfifo> skorket, remove all other devices and then plug the device into the back of the computer if you have ports on both front and back
[00:53] <chelz> pfifo:  i have an iso mounted now, where should it be?
[00:53] <skorket> wylde, the last entry I see in dmesg is "low speed USB device number 2 using ohci_hcd".  I don't know what I'm looking for in the udev log...
[00:53] <pfifo> chelz, if it is a debian cd then it is there. /media/cdrom/casper/filesystem.manifest
[00:54] <smatic> HELLO ALL
[00:54] <dannel> HELLO
[00:54] <skorket> pfifo, All other devices aside from the mouse were unplugged when I last tried.  I also plugged it into one of the ports from the back.  I believe I even used one port that was being used for the mouse in one of my iterations.  Would you like me to unplug the mouse and try again?
[00:55] <pfifo> skorket, so you have tried in different ports as well? (was my next question)
[00:56] <clox-clox> всем привет)
[00:56] <wylde> skorket: udev log will simply give you information on the detected devices on your system.
[00:56] <skorket> pfifo, yes
[00:57] <pfifo> skorket, have you tried using it with a different usb cable?
[00:57] <skorket> pfifo, no
[00:57] <clox-clox> есть кто из России?
[00:58] <pfifo> !ru | clox-clox
[00:58] <pfifo> skorket, try a different cable, or verify that the cable you have is working
[00:58] <Nicolas_Leonida2> does server open samba ports by default when you install samba with tasksell
[00:58] <Nicolas_Leonida2> ?
[00:58] <clox-clox> #UBUNTU-RU
[00:58] <F4C3> exit
[01:01] <skorket> pfifo, I used the same cable when connecting to the windows machine
[01:01] <lilvaratep> How would I open up archive manager with command-line sudo?
[01:01] <soccermitchy> Um...The title of my CompizConfig window changed to this (exactly):58185618618asve
[01:01] <pfifo> skorket, ok, then does the device have an external power supply? If so is the power supply plugged in and turned on.
[01:02] <soccermitchy> Wth does that mean?!?!?!
[01:02] <skorket> pfifo, the device does not have an external power supply
[01:02] <dannel> soccermitchy, what did you do to it?
[01:02] <pfifo> skorket, what kind of device is this?
[01:02] <soccermitchy> I just scrolled in the window, and  it did that.
[01:03] <lilvaratep> How would I open up archive manager with command-line sudo?
[01:03] <skorket> pfifo, a duemilanuve arduino compatible board (link here: http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/seeeduino-v30-atmega-328p-p-669.html?cPath=80)
[01:03] <pfifo> lilvaratep, you might be better off just using cli agchive tools
[01:04] <LostPW> lilvaratep maybe you want to start fileroller?
[01:04] <soccermitchy> I just closed the window, currently reopening the program.
[01:04] <LostPW> lilvaratep sry file-roller
[01:04] <aaGp> how can i check my laptop's temperature ??
[01:04] <pfifo> skorket, did this device come with linux drivers?
[01:04] <lilvaratep> LostPW: it doesn't see some directories such as Downloads when i 'sudo' it =o
[01:05] <wylde> lilvaratep: gksu file-roller <filename>
[01:05] <Oer> !lmsensors | aaGp
[01:05] <aaGp> Oer: thanks
[01:05] <soccermitchy> Is there a way to control fan speeds?
[01:06] <wylde> soccermitchy: yes fancontrol package
[01:06] <skorket> pfifo, I'm not sure.  It uses an ftdi chip which is a usb to serial chip.  All the documentation I've seen indicates that it is linux compatible and that a /dev/ device should be created that allows for serial communication to the USB device.
[01:06] <lilvaratep> Anyone know any good color schemes for C++/Java in VIM?
[01:07] <kruckss> e
[01:07] <wylde> soccermitchy: it requires lm-sensors as well, I'd get that setup first
[01:07] <soccermitchy> Ok.
[01:07] <itaylor57> lilvaratep, it should automagically show colors in vim
[01:07] <soccermitchy> Also, it there a way to run 2
[01:07] <soccermitchy> 'sudo' commands at once
[01:07] <lilvaratep> itaylor57: yes, but i wanna change to a different color scheme
[01:08] <Oer> sudo <command> && sudo <command> && sudo <command>
[01:08] <soccermitchy> ...
[01:09] <soccermitchy> I mean without it saying "E: Could not get lock for /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open(11: Resource temporarily unavailable)"
[01:09] <mjbermea> soccermitchy: Try logging out and back in. That usually frees up that error.
[01:10] <itaylor57> lilvaratep, http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Switch_color_schemes
[01:10] <soccermitchy> ...I want to keep that program running as rooot.
[01:10] <soccermitchy> It's installing my web server.
[01:10] <pfifo> skorket, press alt+ctrl+F1 to get to a console (alt+ctrl+F7 to get back) and then plug in the device, do you still lose keyboard support, and experience the freeze up? Does it print out any information
[01:10] <wylde> soccermitchy: you don't have to do anything with it, just let it finish
[01:11] <soccermitchy> Ok...
[01:11] <pfifo> Oer, try `sudo {<command>; <command>; <command>; }`
[01:11] <wylde> soccermitchy: if you started it with sudo it keeps root until the process finishes
[01:12] <soccermitchy> I already started it.
[01:12] <wylde> soccermitchy: I gathered that
[01:13] <soccermitchy> Owait, reading pfifo's post, directed to someone else...
[01:14] <skorket> pfifo, I have done this test.  When I plug in the device I am able to still type into the console, but am not able to 'hit return', i.e. not able to log in from a login shell and not able to execute any shell commands.  I am able to switch between consoles.  Eventually I get error messages printed out to the console that say a process has not responded in X amount of time (I think that's what the message said)
[01:15] <CharminTheMoose> Is it possible for me to edit the 11.04 initrd such that I can remove udev and just have a static set of devices in there?
[01:16] <pfifo> CharminTheMoose, yes, just replace udev with a link to true or something of that nature
[01:18] <anne_> I am getting troubles in installing sun java in Ubuntu 10.04. any help?
[01:18] <pfifo> skorket, Im stumped on this one, you best bet would be to ask around in the forums at the manufacturers website.
[01:18] <skorket> pfifo, any reason to suspect it might be faulty hardware on my side?
[01:18] <skorket> pfifo, as in a faulty connection on my usb connection, bad memory, etc?
[01:19] <pfifo> skorket, well, if it works in windows, chances are its operating correctly
[01:19] <skorket> pfifo, the device, but perhaps not my computer
[01:19] <codyc1515> Hey Gus :)
[01:19] <pfifo> skorket, my best guess is that linux is trying to use it as a serial console
[01:19] <codyc1515> *guys
[01:20] <skorket> pfifo, yes, but that shouldn't inherently cause problems, no?
[01:20] <soccermitchy> Another question: Is there a way in bash to make a screen that looks like the one in tasksel or the ubuntu server installer? If so, how?
[01:20] <pfifo> skorket, if its sending keystrokes to the device, that would explain a bit.
[01:21] <codyc1515> N00b question: I see that PHP5.4 has just been released but how come it is not yet available as an update?
[01:21] <codyc1515> http://php.net/releases/5_4_0.php
[01:21] <pfifo> soccermitchy, your looking for the ncurses library
[01:22] <skorket> pfifo, hmm...But you don't think there's any reason to suspect it might be hardware on my desktop that could be causing the problem?
[01:22] <soccermitchy> pfifo:  Any docs?
[01:22] <tr33m4n> codyc1515, probably will be available in 12.04
[01:22] <wylde> soccermitchy: man ncurses
[01:22] <codyc1515> tr33m4n: shouldn't it be available sooner?
[01:22] <ch33z> anyone seen Chippzz in the chat?
[01:22] <soccermitchy> Completely forgot about 'man'
[01:22] <pfifo> skorket, if your desktop had faulty hardware, then you would have problems with other devices too
[01:23] <rexor> codyc1515, becouse it need to be tested, most of administators and developers don't wan't to change evoirnament indementli
[01:23] <rexor> codyc1515, becouse something could not work
[01:23] <codyc1515> ah true
[01:23] <pfifo> soccermitchy, you might prefer the 'screen' program for interactive shells
[01:23] <skorket> pfifo, which I sometimes do...my computer seems pretty flakey at times.  It has crashed before when plugging in my USBtinyISP, though that hasn't happened in a while
[01:23] <soccermitchy> Ok.
[01:24] <skorket> pfifo, in fact I remember it doing that quite a bit before I upgraded to a newer version of Ubuntu, so I assumed it was a software issue
[01:24] <rexor> codyc1515, but ofc if u wan't u can download package and compile and install it by yourself
[01:24] <codyc1515> rexor: that can take a really long time though
[01:24] <soccermitchy> What is the ncurses package name?
[01:25] <ch33z> ?
[01:25] <pfifo> codyc1515, yes compiling PHP takes a long time
[01:25] <ch33z> hmm
[01:25] <ch33z> what do you mean?
[01:26] <pfifo> soccermitchy, ncurses if a library for C programmers to use in their software http://www.gnu.org/software/ncurses/
[01:26] <pfifo> is a*
[01:26] <tr33m4n> codyc1515, here's a similar question to yours with a solution http://askubuntu.com/questions/109404/php-5-4-0-update-apt-get-update-brings-me-to-5-3-6
[01:27] <lwizardl> okay I need some help. on my usb keyboard the right side which has the numlock etc on it is not working for the numbers even when i turn the numlock on or off but keys 7 9 1 3 are now controlling the mouse. Any ideas on how to fix that ???
[01:28] <codyc1515> tr33m4n: cool, so its basically an alternate repo that offers newer versions of things
[01:28] <tr33m4n> codyc1515, yes, in this case php5.4
[01:28] <soccermitchy> pfifo: I need a bash one.
[01:29] <jrib> lwizardl: ctrl-shift-numlock
[01:29] <pfifo> soccermitchy, what exactly are you trying todo?
[01:29] <lwizardl> shift+numlock fixed that thanks
[01:30] <eboy> Does Ubuntu 11.10 use GTK+3?
[01:30] <dannel> yes
[01:30] <eboy> thanks
[01:30] <geirha> soccermitchy: You probably want whiptail or dialog
[01:32] <geirha> soccermitchy: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ/040 explains how to use dialog in a shell script. whiptail will be similar.
[01:33] <Ubuntunub> */10 * * * * rsync <rest of command here>                        Does that look right for running every 10 minutes?  Trying to read the man page and a guide, but I'm not certain that actually works the way I think it will.
[01:33] <jrib> Ubuntunub: yes
[01:34] <Ubuntunub> jrib:  Thanks.  :)
[01:34] <lilvaratep> How do I resize the VIM window in terminal? I can't click-drag, only maximize
[01:34] <geirha> Ubuntunub: Note that there are two crontab manuals. crontab(1) and crontab(5). The latter explains the file format; man 5 crontab
[01:35] <geirha> lilvaratep: :resize and :vertical resize
[01:36] <soccermitchy> Sorry, was AFK.
[01:36] <soccermitchy> I am trying to make a menu to send setting via variables in a bash script to launch a program.
[01:37] <Mrhill> wine problem with fivebyfive it will not run
[01:37] <dannel> what is the error
[01:37] <lilvaratep> Oh boy, I'm in love... drag and drop to side of screen to maximize to that side just like w7!
[01:37] <Mrhill> no error
[01:37] <dannel> run it from console and you should see an erorr
[01:37] <dannel> from terminal, i meant
[01:38] <Mrhill> ok iwill try that
[01:38] <lilvaratep> Does anyone program with VIM in terminator?
[01:40] <soccermitchy>  Brb
[01:42] <soccermitchy> Back
[01:43] <BlouBlou> what works better? Nvidia official driver or nouveau?
[01:43] <BlouBlou> I mean what has better perfomance
[01:43] <BlouBlou> which one
[01:43] <wylde> BlouBlou: depends if you want 3d acceleration
[01:43] <BlouBlou> wylde: I want it, yeah
[01:43] <wylde> BlouBlou: then you need the proprietary driver
[01:44] <BlouBlou> all right, thank you :)
[01:45] <Mrhill> I found fivebyfive is for windows only.
[01:46] <Mrhill> i don't know ho to run it in wine

[01:55] <lilvaratep> Hi, I'm new to VIM and for some reason it just froze...
[01:56] <lilvaratep> The cursor still blinks and it's stuck on INSERT mode
[02:01] <soccermitchy> Is there a package for ncurses?
[02:02] <wylde> soccermitchy: aptitude search ncurses
[02:03] <soccermitchy> Ok
[02:03] <spacebug-> soccermitchy: or apt-cache search ncurses
[02:03] <pfifo> !info libncurses5 | soccermitchy
[02:04] <wylde> spacebug-:  yeah, just the aptitude console output is easier to read heh
[02:04] <spacebug-> wylde: yes but aptitude is not installed by default in never versions of ubuntu
[02:04] <spacebug-> newer*
[02:05] <spacebug-> I liked aptitude but have begun to change to apt-get / apt-cache
[02:05] <wylde> spacebarbarian: my bad then, I'll keep that in mind thanks :)
[02:05] <spacebug-> its ok hehe
[02:06] <wylde> spacebug-: I use apt-cache and apt-get plenty, was just looking to make it easier for soccermitchy to find
[02:06] <wylde> :)
[02:08] <aaGp> wish game for ubuntu u guys recommend me?
[02:08] <spacebug-> oki doki. and yes easy is always good
[02:08] <haylo> what should i put on my netinstall for wireless? will nm-applet be potentially sufficient?
[02:09] <EpiCam> what kind of games do you like?

[02:09] <wylde> haylo: if you're not doing any fancy pants neatworking then yes
[02:09] <wylde> networking*
[02:09] <aaGp> like world of war
[02:09] <aaGp> some like that
[02:10] <Fyodorovna> EpiCam, that is a #ubuntu-offtopic question this is ubuntu support
[02:10] <EpiCam> sorry
[02:10] <Fyodorovna> EpiCam, no biggie not everyone knows. :)
[02:11] <chroot> gcc for windows?
[02:11] <chroot> is there a gcc for win?
[02:11] <lilvaratep> yes
[02:11] <lilvaratep> There's a terminal emulator for windows as well
[02:12] <itaylor57> cygwin
[02:12] <lilvaratep> But, in cmd you can gcc
[02:12] <Fyodorovna> aaGp, there is a wiki on what actually run in linux, and ones that run in wine.
[02:12] <chroot> lilvaratep, I want to use gcc in win,
[02:13] <chroot> first I need to install cygwin?
[02:13] <itaylor57> chroot, ask in #wine
[02:13] <chroot> ok
[02:13] <itaylor57> or #windows
[02:15] <aaGp> Fyodorovna: ¬¬
[02:17] <waxstone> is there an easy way to get sun jde onto ubuntu?
[02:17] <Fyodorovna> aaGp, yes
[02:18] <lilvaratep> Name cool things to run in your terminator terminal!
[02:19] <lilvaratep> !java
[02:19] <lilvaratep> !topic java
[02:19] <lilvaratep> !list java
[02:19] <lilvaratep> !channels
[02:20] <waxstone> i need ot install netbeans a programming ide which requires this sun JDE
[02:20] <Fyodorovna> aaGp, I don't speak Arabic so what ever that is only suits you.
[02:22] <itaylor57> waxstone, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Netbeans
[02:22] <waxstone> found this Oracle (Sun) Java 6 is no longer available to be distributed by Ubuntu, because of license issues. :(
[02:22] <dannel> old news
[02:22] <waxstone> thanks iraylor57 and lilvaratep
[02:22] <dr_willis> very old news :)
[02:23] <lilvaratep> What did I say? lol
[02:24] <waxstone> old news is new to someone new to ubuntu and linux
[02:24] <Ebron> How would I go about temporarily suspending services (across boots) from the terminal?
[02:25] <Ebron> I don't want to remove them, only stop them across boots for some time
[02:25] <itaylor57> waxstone, you might find this helpful http://www.webupd8.org/2011/09/how-to-install-oracle-java-7-jdk-in.html
[02:25] <dr_willis> Ebron,  rename  the services /etc/init/whatever.conf to be whatever.DONTRUN   (is one way)
[02:26] <Canadian1296> In irssi, how do I change between the rooms that I'm in?
[02:26] <Muser> control+n, control+p
[02:26] <Muser> (emacs keybindings)
[02:26] <dr_willis> alt-# Canadian1296  i belive. is one way. or alt-left/right arrows also
[02:26] <Ebron> dr_willis: is that the hacky way?
[02:26] <dr_willis> irssi homepage has some good docs.
[02:26] <dr_willis> Ebron,  not that im aware of.
[02:26] <haylo> sorry to be a pain, but is there a gui for network-manager i can use in my ubuntu 11.04 netinstall. i installed it and ran it
[02:27] <aaGp> Fyodorovna: whatever man.
[02:27] <waxstone> itaylor57: thanks again, reading up on these links
[02:27] <Canadian1296> Muser: That worked like a charm thanks
[02:27] <Ebron> dr_willis: as in that the service would try to be started but oops no config file as expected?
[02:27] <prappl93> I'm not sure if this should be directed towards this channel or elsewhere, but my Adobe Flash Player won't let me enable my webcam for video chat on Ubuntu 11.10. Is there an easy way to fix this?
[02:27] <dr_willis> Ebron,  last i looked the upstart standards/docs basically said to rename the file. or edit the file and add some option to tell it to not start
[02:27] <dr_willis> Ebron,  that is the file that starts the service.
[02:27] <Canadian1296> dr_willis: I tired your way too, but it took me out and back into irris (I'm on a mac, irssi though macports)
[02:28] <Ebron> dr_willis: thank you
[02:28] <dr_willis> Canadian1296,  out to where?
[02:28] <qazokm> hm
[02:28] <cypher> i cant get my internal mic to work with skype ..i tried all the forums and google...anyone have ideas?
[02:28] <cypher> i got an acer aspire one
[02:28] <qazokm> hm
[02:30] <Fyodorovna> aaGp, mu thoughts exactly. :)
[02:30] <Fyodorovna> my*
[02:31] <lilVaratep> !non ubuntu
[02:31] <lilVaratep> anyone know chan for ubuntu(non ubuntu-related)
[02:31] <Canadian1296> dr_willis: I have no idea. Like i open terminal, and type irssi, and it starts. for me alt + left arrow brings me back to the prompt where I started irssi from, (no new prompt, as irssi is stil running)
[02:32] <aeon-ltd> lilVaratep: #ubuntu-offtopic ?
[02:32] <lilVaratep> aeon-ltd ty
[02:32] <dr_willis> alt-left would eventually take you to the initial server 'window' of irssi  where server messages are - i belive
[02:33] <prappl93> I'm not sure if this should be directed towards this channel or elsewhere, but my Adobe Flash Player won't let me enable my webcam for video chat on Ubuntu 11.10. Is there any way for me to fix this?
[02:33] <Cyndar> is anyone around that might be able to give me some advice? it's in regards to forcing a wine window to use 16 bit color depth. after checking the man pages i can't find a setting for it. i've also tried switching X to use 16bpp by default but i can't find xorg.conf in the usual places i'd go to edit it. i'm using xubuntu with wine 1.3
[02:38] <arand> Cyndar: By default there is no xorg.conf, If you need to set specific settings, just create one.
[02:40] <Cyndar> arand: tried that. i stopped X, ran sudo Xorg -configure but it said configuration failed. it still created the config file so i tried putting it in /etc/X11 and rebooting but it was still in 24bpp. did i miss a step?
[02:42] <arand> Cyndar: I'm afraid I don't know much more than what and where in this case.
[02:42] <prappl93> My Flash player freezes whenever I go into the settings to change them. Is there a way to fix this?
[02:42] <prappl93> I'm running on Ubuntu 11.10
[02:42] <Cyndar> arand: thanks for trying. been at this for hours now.
[02:43] <brad[]> Hi folks, super basic question here. Are there alternative themes for Unity? I hate Orange. :-)
[02:43] <brad[]> Also purple. Purple is cute but dangit.
[02:45] <waxstone> thanks ubottu
[02:45] <Fyodorovna> brad[], you mean the spash?
[02:46] <L3top> ello
[02:46] <L3top> Ok... I am not familiar with oneiric desktop
[02:47] <L3top> Can someone navigate Drathe to find his defunct windows drive?
[02:47] <L3top> from live dvd
[02:47] <brad[]> Fyodorovna: I know I can change the wallpaper and the dash color changes which is pretty slick
[02:47] <L3top> What he descrives is not what I expect to see
[02:47] <L3top> describes*
[02:47] <brad[]> Fyodorovna: main thing I want to do is use a theme other than ambiance or radiance
[02:48] <brad[]> Fyodorovna: I've enabled Adwaita using gnome tweak tool but it doesn't quite work right and I've found a lot of other themes arent quite proper
[02:48] <brad[]> It seems like a theme has to have very specific properties to be compatible with the Unity desktop
[02:52] <Fyodorovna> brad[], I'm not sure about extra themes I was looking at the web yesterday about this and found links like this with ppa's not sure really. http://www.redmondpie.com/4-beautiful-ubuntu-unity-themes-complete-with-how-to-download-and-install/
[02:55] <KI7MT> I like that Elementary theme, pretty nice.
[02:55] <wchan_> is there a linux command to extract lines of a file between N and M ... for example the 5th to 10th line?
[02:55] <brad[]> Fyodorovna: interesting
[02:55] <wchan_> i know there's head / tail  .. but those extract from the beg on end...
[02:56] <brad[]> Fyodorovna: wonder if those will work in 12.04
[02:57] <L3top> wchan... yes...
[02:57] <KI7MT> wchan_, yeah, use awk but Im not sure the exact string, would ahve to play aournd with it for a while. ask in #awk they'll know straight away.
[02:57] <wchan_> KI7MT: tx
[02:57] <wchan_> thx
[03:04] <angelleye> So I had some virtual hosts configured in apache, but it was all default mod_php.  I was having permissions issues, so I installed SuPHP, but now my PHP pages won't load correctly on the server.  I've searched and searched and everything says I just need to make sure my directories are 755 and my files are 644.  They are.  I still can't get past this.  Would love some advice, please.
[03:06] <Dnerd> POOP :D
[03:07] <KI7MT> wchan_, if your still here it would be somethign like this: cat <file-name> | awk 'NR>=5&&NR<=9' "file"
[03:07] <wchan_> KI1MT: i just ended up doing a head then a tail lol
[03:07] <KI7MT> wchan_, or just using: awk 'NR>=5&&NR<=9' "file"
[03:08] <wchan_> KI7MT: not the most efficient . but it works.
[03:08] <KI7MT> Yeah, you didn't say best method :-), just one that works :-)
[03:08] <lilVaratep> How can I get terminator terminal to make a noise whenever someone says my name in irssi?
[03:09] <Fyodorovna> brad[], you would have to check the ppa's
[03:09] <kantlivelong> hey all.. is there a way i can record my mic to a buffered pipe?
[03:09] <kantlivelong> erm file
[03:11] <Drathe> okay
[03:11] <Drathe> Question
[03:11] <Canadian1296> Is it possible to get irssi to beep every time someone says my name?
[03:11] <Drathe> if i Unmount my 80 Gig file system, will i have na option to Remount it or another drive?
[03:12] <KI7MT> wchan_, here's one for range: same concept though: awk 'BEGIN{min=2;max=5}
[03:12] <KI7MT> {
[03:12] <KI7MT>  if (NR>=min)
[03:12] <KI7MT> {
[03:12] <KI7MT> if(NR<=max)
[03:12] <KI7MT> print
[03:12] <FloodBot1> KI7MT: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:12] <Drathe> or how do i make this derm thing show me drive 1... it shows drive 2
[03:12] <dr_willis> Drathe:  drive 2 meaning?
[03:12] <Drathe> okay i have 2 Hd's on my pc
[03:13] <Drathe> one is 80gig other is 150 or so.. it only shows me the 80gig
[03:13] <Drathe> i need to see the 150 gig drive to move a few files so i can reinstall windows
[03:13] <dr_willis> 2 drives or one hd with 2 partitions
[03:13] <Drathe> two hard drives
[03:13] <Drathe> one has windows OS and this Ubuntu
[03:13] <Drathe> the other hard drive has only games and such
[03:14] <dr_willis> mount them by hand if you want total cobtrol
[03:14] <dr_willis> !mount
[03:14] <Drathe> xD why cant it just show me lol -grumble-
[03:14] <dr_willis> if a ntfs is shown as needing checked the system wont moynt it. for safty
[03:15] <dr_willis> is a commin reason
[03:16] <KI7MT> Unless you ahve an fsck in init.d
[03:16] <Drathe> oh dear god
[03:16] <Drathe> there is no simpler way?
[03:16] <Drathe> like an application? XD
[03:16] <Drathe> LOL
[03:16] <KI7MT> just create a ount point, mount the drive, do your buiz, and umount it.
[03:16] <dr_willis> learn how to mount by hand... its not that complex
[03:16] <Drathe> -.-
[03:17] <Drathe> i dont need to learn i have no intentions of using ubuntu ever again XD
[03:17] <dr_willis> goodby then.
[03:17] <Chipzzz> lol
[03:17] <Drathe> well now thats just rude...
[03:17] <KI7MT> it's real easy: mkdir /mnt/some-name .. mount /dev/-your-drive /mnt/some-name job done.
[03:17] <Trippwyre> Anyone know if there is a specific channel dealing with networking ip addressing and subnets? or able to answer a question for me?
[03:18] <Chipzzz> seemed a measured response to me
[03:18] <Drathe> Ki tyvm.. im assuming name is my login yes?
[03:18] <angelleye>  in WHM on my live server there's a section called "Configure PHP and SuExec" and in there is a drop down that allows me to change the PHP 5 Handler from suphp, dso, fcgi, and cgi.  so that must issue some sort of command when I submit a change here, right?  Any idea what the equivelant is in Ubuntu?
[03:19] <L3top> Drathe: type mount | grep sd
[03:19] <L3top> figure out what your drive is first...
[03:19] <Drathe> L3top id say i love you <3 hehe
[03:19] <L3top> and if i remember correct... you have a dual boot on the one drive...
[03:19] <L3top> is that right?
[03:19] <KI7MT> angelleye, thoseare python scripts that do all config work in WHM/cPanel
[03:20] <prappl93> I got my Adobe Flash issue fixed, but now the audio quality is very bad and choppy. Could this be a sound-card issue or something else?
[03:20] <dr_willis> !uuid
[03:20] <dr_willis> mount would not show a unmounted filesystem
[03:20] <L3top> duh
[03:21] <L3top> However it would show the drives that it has mounted, to disregard as the drive that wont ;)
[03:22] <Drathe> L3top will you PM me please?
[03:22]  * L3top guessing his non mounting drive is sda1... just wanted to make sure it wasnt already mounted
[03:22] <okum> anyone know why my normal ubuntu login desktop wouldn't be working? (i have to use ubuntu 2d)
[03:23] <dr_willis> 3d drivers not working would be a common reeaso okum
[03:24] <okum> dr_willis: all i did was installed gnome-session-fallback and then uninstalled it.
[03:24] <okum> dr_willis: shall i check for drivers?
[03:25] <dr_willis> okum:  always a good idea
[03:26] <dr_willis> test with a newly made user is a good test also
[03:27] <sylasL> Hello?
[03:28] <Canadian1296> sysdoc: Hi
[03:28] <sylasL> hi there
[03:28] <sylasL> i'm looking for a little help, anyone have the time?
[03:28] <CFHowlett> sylasL   ask away
[03:28] <sylasL> oh, thank you!
[03:29] <sylasL> just intalled ubuntu on my old computer.. now having problems getting wireless working
[03:29] <dr_willis> bbl
[03:29] <sylasL> have tried looking at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#Installing_b43_drivers
[03:29] <CFHowlett> sylasl what version of ubuntu and what type of computer
[03:30] <sylasL> and searching ubuntu forums, but hoped one-on-one would be more successful
[03:30] <Canadian1296> sylasL: And what type of wireless (wep, wpa, wpa2...)
[03:30] <sylasL> let's see..
[03:31] <metaspike> im missing a driver, so i try to compile from https://github.com/ambrosa/DVB-Realtek-RTL2832U-2.2.2-10tuner-mod_kernel-3.0.0, and I get "fatal error: dvb-usb.h: no such file or directory" . this displeases me much, why is this? i have linux headers. why no compile! :(
[03:31] <Your_Dog> test
[03:31] <sylasL> ubuntu 11.10; compaq presario, wireless wpa
[03:32] <CFHowlett> sylasL   run the following command and paste it please lspci -vvnn | grep 14e4
[03:32] <Canadian1296> Can someone say my name? (I want to test something about my client)
[03:32] <CFHowlett> !paste|sylasl
[03:32] <sylasL> i've been messing around with the b43 driver
[03:32] <rypervenche> Canadian1296:
[03:33] <Canadian1296> rypervenche: Thanks :)
[03:33] <calebu2> Hi there
[03:34] <tr33m4n> sylasL, I use Broadcom drivers on my system... The easiest way I found to install them was being navigating to pool/restricted/b/bmwl on my installation media and installing them from there, or if you're connected via ethernet install from repos
[03:35] <sylasL> CFHowlett, is BCM4318 helpful?
[03:35] <tr33m4n> sylasL, jockey should mention about installing them as well, if not run gksudo jocket-gtk
[03:35] <CFHowlett> sylasL   exactomundo!
[03:35] <calebu2> I'm having trouble finding a repository with sun Java for an armel device.
[03:35] <CFHowlett> sylasL   does your computer have hardwired internet access or is it off-line
[03:35] <tr33m4n> sylasL, *jockey-gtk
[03:36] <escott> calebu2, sun java 6 was removed from the repos a few months ago
[03:36] <calebu2> Is there a solution because iced tea is not stable
[03:36] <sylasL> off line...
[03:37] <calebu2> Is there a legit way to get it that doesn't go through the standard repositories?
[03:37] <CFHowlett> sylasL   OK from the broadcom wireless tutorial, you should use b43 - No internet access to set it up, right?
[03:37] <escott> calebu2, download it from oracle.com
[03:37] <Quan-Time> is anyone aware of a way to get pidgin IM installed on 11.10 ? Ive tried a variety of ways, still cant get it installed.. help ?
[03:37] <lilVaratep> Anyone know how to get TERMINATOR to BEEP?
[03:37] <sylasL> tr33m4n, if i navigate there, i cannot see any bmwl folder, the "b" file is empty as far as i can tell.
[03:38] <CFHowlett> lilVaratep   terminator is an irrsi app?  You should as the irrse channel -
[03:38] <calebu2> I couldn't figure out their site to save myself. Will take a look again but they're not exactly making it easy to find
[03:38] <xangua> Quan-Time: sudo apt-get install pidgin
[03:38] <prappl93> Quan-Time, if you hit Ctrl + Alt + T and then type "sudo apt-get install pidgin" it should work.
[03:38] <tr33m4n> sylasL, that's strange, on every recent install I've had a folder containing drivers for Broadcom
[03:38] <lilVaratep> CFHowlett TERMINATOR is a terminal emulator pretty much...
[03:39] <CFHowlett> sylasL   you don't need the bcmwl file, you need teh b43-fwcutter file
[03:39] <ztag100> Is there a way to update xubuntu to the new beta? or do I need to do a clean install?
[03:39] <sylasL> i may totally be missing something...
[03:39] <escott> calebu2, that would be consistent with oracle's stated intentions regarding java6
[03:39] <CFHowlett> sylasL   when you're ready then ...
[03:39] <sylasL> CFHowlett, i have transferred that file to my desktop
[03:39] <prappl93> I'm using a video chat website and the audio/video playback is laggy and choppy. The site uses Adobe Flash Plugin in order to work for the webcams. Does anyone know how to fix the choppiness of the playback?
[03:40] <CFHowlett> sylasL    and the *patch* file as well
[03:40] <xangua> prappl93: fact: flash sucks in linux, go complain with adobe perhaps¿
[03:40] <prappl93> xangua, do you know of anything I could use as a replacement? If so, how do I replace Flash with it?
[03:41] <KI7MT> prappl93, HTML5
[03:41] <xangua> prappl93: if you mean any of the opensource flash plugins, they don't support all the features adobe's
[03:41] <sylasL> i have that in my ...pool/main/p/patch folder, but when i click on it, nothing really seems to happen
[03:41] <Quan-Time> prappl93: no, it doesnt work that awy.
[03:42] <ztag100> is that possible?
[03:42] <prappl93> Quan-Time, is it giving you any specific errors?
[03:42] <CFHowlett> sylasL   http://paste.ubuntu.com/867706/
[03:42] <Quan-Time> prappl93: http://pastebin.com/up9UtL8p
[03:42] <sylasL> software center comes up, but the "install" button is greyed out. same problem in pool/main/b folder
[03:43] <tr33m4n> sylasL, give it a second, it may take a while on slow hardware
[03:43] <CFHowlett> sylasL   mount the patch then double click on the b43-fwcutter.deb to install it
[03:43] <Quan-Time> tried multiple ways around it, still cant seem to work it out.. tried the PPA, without it, libpurple0 HAD issues, but i *think* i resolved it
[03:43] <sylasL> will try it
[03:44] <prappl93> Quan-Time, what version of Ubuntu are you running?
[03:45] <deltaray> Hi. I have a server running Ubuntu 11.04 and the last time it booted, it got into this weird mode.
[03:45] <Quan-Time> prappl93:
[03:45] <Quan-Time>  uname -a
[03:45] <Quan-Time> Linux Shim 3.0.0-16-generic #28-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 27 17:44:39 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[03:45] <Quan-Time> GAH sorry ppls.
[03:45] <FloodBot1> Quan-Time: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:45] <deltaray> It just shows the Ubuntu loading progress screen, but no console prompt or gdm login
[03:45] <deltaray> I can't get to the console with Ctrl-Alt-F1 or Alt-F1 or F2, etc.
[03:45] <deltaray> Any ideas?
[03:45] <escott> deltaray, what does it say when you hit the up arrow?
[03:46] <deltaray> escott: nothing. It doesn't have a cursor or anything.
[03:46] <deltaray> I can connect to the server remotely and its fine other than that.
[03:46] <deltaray> I'd rather not reboot it right now.
[03:47] <deltaray> Because its running stuff.
[03:47] <escott> deltaray, what runlevel are you at?
[03:47] <deltaray> escott: when I run runlevel it says N 2, but I'm not sure what that means in upstart
[03:47] <deltaray> I'm used to init
[03:48] <escott> deltaray, 2 is the standard runlevel so thats good. if there is nothing in your logs you could see if service gdm start brings gdm up. ive seen that randomly not start before
[03:48] <deltaray> escott: I've already restart stop gdm and start gdm and that didn't bring it up.
[03:49] <sylasL> CFHowlett, didn't seem to work. not sure what i did wrong
[03:49] <escott> deltaray, and no messages in the logs as to why X is not starting?
[03:49] <sylasL> tr33m4n, the install button never ungreys.
[03:49] <xangua> Quan-Time: remove the pidgin ppa you added
[03:50] <Quan-Time> xangua: alreday done..
[03:50] <CFHowlett> sylasL   you downloaded the files in step 2,  installed in step 3 and the activated in step 4??
[03:50] <deltaray> escott: Actually, X does start, but I can't see. it
[03:50] <deltaray> escott: Full disclosure, this machine has 3 video cards. I've tried all the other DVI ports and they are all black.
[03:50] <escott> deltaray, ps aux | grep X should tell you what vt it is running on
[03:50] <tr33m4n> sylasL, possibly because you have to install dependencies first... from what I can remember you need to install patch from pool/main/p/patch and dkms from pool/main/d/dkms
[03:50] <sylasL> nooo
[03:51] <deltaray> escott: /usr/bin/X :0 -br -verbose -auth /var/run/gdm/auth-for-gdm-EIxTra/database -nolisten tcp
[03:51] <CFHowlett> sylasL   going back to the tutorial, you should use the b43 - no internet access method detailed in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#Installing_b43_drivers
[03:52] <sylasL> yes, that is what i have been trying to do. i appreciate that it is laid out there so nicely. however i am apparently unable to make this business function :/
[03:53] <escott> deltaray, hotplugging dvi could easily confuse X11. you might need to rerun xrandr to get it to rescan the available output devices. but your aux output suggests that it is not attached to a vt. mine looks like /usr/bin/X :0 -auth /var/run/lightdm/root/:0 -nolisten tcp vt7 -novtswitch
[03:53] <sylasL> without trying to be redundant, i am a real novice at this.
[03:53] <CFHowlett> sylasL   start over, do ALL the steps and we'll troubleshoot
[03:53] <sylasL> ok
[03:53] <sylasL> *thanks* for your patience!
[03:54] <CFHowlett> sylasL   no worries ...
[03:54] <deltaray> escott: ok. those are good clues. Thanks for your help.
[03:56] <Micko113> hi all, I'm in gparted live cd. what is the best tool to use to do low level format?
[03:56] <fattygofaster> is irc still used for downloading
[03:57] <sylasL> ok...step 1. when i try to go to the pool/main/b or /p files and double click on the contents... nothing happens. so if i try to right click on it and open with software center, i get a window with a greyed out install button.
[03:57] <escott> Micko113, gparted is perfectly adequate
[03:57] <deltaray> escott: It still doesn't quite explain why i can't get back to the console since there are getty's running on 1 through 6
[03:57] <Xabster> I installed the AMD64 version on a Intel Core 2 Duo - can this be the reason for my 2 crashes the past 30 minutes (fresh install)?
[03:58] <tr33m4n> sylasL, CFHowlett think the best way would appear to do things via command line using dpkg
[03:58] <escott> deltaray, it could be modesetting. usually one hears of more obvious framebuffer crashes but try !nomodeset
[03:58] <sylasL> ok.
[03:58] <Micko113> escott: what tool do I use there? There's too many
[03:58] <escott> deltaray, but if you cant get to a getty then it sounds like your framebuffer is crashed
[03:58] <sylasL> terminal open, now what, please?
[03:58] <KI7MT> Xabster, AM64 is the same as x86_64 it's just not all distro's call it out as such.
[03:59] <Xabster> i see
[03:59] <deltaray> escott: but wouldn't it be the framebuffer that is displaying this Ubuntu boot progress screen?
[03:59] <Xabster> then i'm a little confused :)
[03:59] <tr33m4n> sylasL, are you familiar with basic commands such as cd, ls etc?
[03:59] <lilVaratep> How do you make TERMINATOR terminal beep when in irssi? I already '/set' all the stuff for irssi and I even edited the config.py in /usr/share/terminator/terminatorlib/config.py to audible_something True
[03:59] <sylasL> not really.
[03:59] <CFHowlett> sylasL   sudo dpkg -i [drag and drop the b43-fwcutter here]
[03:59] <KI7MT> Xabster, with regaurds to your crashes, what is happening, and on what version of Ubuntu?
[04:00] <escott> deltaray, the kernel does modesetting in newer versions, but if X crashed the graphics hardware trying to bring it up then you could be left with the last framebuffer before the video card stopped responding
[04:00] <Xabster> it crashed during "language selection" and then again right after rebooting after the updates and trying to install firefox 10 - mouse responds and can left click/scroll but not right click, 2 terminal windows are open but i can't type in them and they dont have a menu-bar - it's 11.10 KI7MT
[04:00] <escott> deltaray, you never really know what you will get with a framebuffer crash
[04:00] <deltaray> oh that's wild.
[04:01] <calebu2> Is there a good guide to getting synaptic package installer to launch? Image I installed doesn't seem to be fully working
[04:01] <Xabster> it also appears that my keyboard isn't responding at all, KI7MT
[04:01] <calebu2> I tried some instructions I found on line no luck
[04:01] <Xabster> firefox 7 is running and i can move it around, click back and forward, but obviously can't type in any url
[04:02] <escott> deltaray, the hardware is just a clock that keeps reading and spitting out the contents of some segment of ram, but the kernel/X thinks it has already told the graphics card to scan a different region of ram. so it just keeps dumping the same old contents to the screen
[04:02] <KI7MT> Xabster, wow, that's allot of troubles .. if it crashed during install, either you have a Hardware issue, or maybe the CD was bad, did you MD5 the ISO before burning it to CD?
[04:02] <Xabster> no I did not, but I tried again and got through the install
[04:02] <escott> Micko113, are you in gparted and need to know how to use gparted. or are you in a livecd trying to figure out how to open gparted?
[04:03] <sylasL> ...ok
[04:03] <Fyodorovna> calebu2, you get any errors?
[04:03] <CFHowlett> Xabster   integrity checking an iso takes 60 seconds - just sayin ...
[04:03] <lilVaratep> How do you make TERMINATOR terminal beep when in irssi? I already '/set' all the stuff for irssi and I even edited the config.py in /usr/share/terminator/terminatorlib/config.py to audible_something True
[04:03] <tr33m4n> sylasL, has that worked?
[04:03] <Xabster> CFHowlett, yeah, i should had done that
[04:03] <deltaray> escott: Do you think I could try rmmod vesafb to fix that?
[04:03] <CFHowlett> Xabster   feel free to redeem yourself by doing so now
[04:03] <Tripp> What is the best way to find out a forgotten username?
[04:04] <Micko113> escott: I've used Hiren's Bootcd and launched it from there. So I think I'm in gparted.
[04:04] <sylasL> my computer made a noise like it was doing something and then.. nada
[04:04] <Xabster> i dont have the .iso but I do have the CD - can i do it still?
[04:04] <CFHowlett> sylasL   step #?
[04:04] <ztag100> just wondering, does ubuntu one let me backup my system settings? or just files?
[04:04] <calebu2> Nothing happens
[04:04] <escott> deltaray, see if !nomodeset is appropriate for you. also check if removing some graphics cards/setting a fixed Xorg.conf helps (so that X doesn't have to scan the pci bus but knows exactly what to use)
[04:04] <escott> Micko113, don't know what Hiren's bootcd is
[04:04] <tr33m4n> sylasL, so you did 'sudo dpkg -i name_of_deb.deb' then entered your password, and nothing?
[04:05] <Fyodorovna> calebu2, you could try gksudo synaptic from a terminal and if any errors show google them or post them.
[04:05] <CFHowlett> Xabster   we could check the cdrom to make sure you got a good burn ... of course a good burn of a bad iso is still a bad cdrom....
[04:05] <Xabster> i did verify the dvd after it was burnt, but i did not check the iso
[04:05] <KI7MT> Tripp, in a terminal: cat /etc/passwd will list all the users on the box, not the passwords fo course.
[04:05] <Fyodorovna> calebu2, be sure to use nics when responding or we don't see the response. :)
[04:06] <Micko113> escott, its a live cd that has bunch of programms that load into memory
[04:06] <calebu2> Hah. It worked from terminal. I feel silly :-)
[04:06] <Xabster> however, I rebooted and everything is back to normal - i'll look into it when it happens again =)
[04:06] <Fyodorovna> calebu2, cool.
[04:06] <deltaray> escott: I'm confused. nomodeset is a kernel boot option right? Are you suggesting I reboot?  I'm trying to avoid that if possible, but maybe its not.
[04:06] <escott> Micko113, and you are in the ubuntu channel. if you were using the ubuntu livecd i could tell you what to do. but ive never heard of this
[04:06] <KI7MT> Xabster, another possibility is a bad burn of the ISO meaning the burner is having trouble, maybe burned at too high of speed maybe.
[04:06] <Tripp> KI7MT: I am at the login prompt.  Password is not an issue, just username.  What do you mean by at a terminal?
[04:07] <escott> deltaray, if your framebuffer has crashed the only thing you can do to get the graphics back is reboot. but yes nomodeset is a kernel option. it started being necessary with 11.04?
[04:07] <Micko113> escott, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiren%27s_BootCD
[04:07] <Xabster> KI7MT, the app i used to burn the DVD spent more than a minute verifying it - i hope thats enough
[04:07] <KI7MT> Tripp, Ahh, well I wasn't much help then was I. sorry.
[04:07] <Micko113> escott, no problem
[04:07] <calebu2> Fyodorovna. I'm on a tablet. It keeps trying to auto correct your nick
[04:07] <calebu2> So I gave up :-)
[04:08] <Fyodorovna> calebu2, cool
[04:08] <Xabster> it acts REALLY strange when I try to alt-tab between programs
[04:08] <KI7MT> Xabster, I don't know just seems to be allot of errors from install, thats very rare.
[04:08] <sylasL> tr33m4n, no, it doesnt say 'name_of_deb.deb' it says 'media/Ubuntu 11.10 i386/pool/main/b/b43-fw-cutter'
[04:08] <Xabster> like, flashing and stuff
[04:08] <sylasL> tr33m4n, i pressed enter, and it never asked for my pwd
[04:09] <Fyodorovna> calebu2, did show in red the last time though I think you have got it. :)
[04:09] <tr33m4n> sylasL, yes good, I was just using an example... have you included the .deb extension on the end of the 'media/Ubuntu 11.10 i386/pool/main/b/b43-fw-cutter'?
[04:10] <Xabster> there, it just happened again - i used alt-tab and it fucked up
[04:10] <sylasL> tr33m4n ok :) no, i didn't put the .deb ext.
[04:10] <Xabster> no longer listening to my keyboard
[04:10] <Xabster> menubar on terminal gone, can't mouse-right-click
[04:10] <tr33m4n> sylasL, try that and see what happens
[04:10] <sylasL> ok
[04:10] <Xabster> is alt-tab doing something other than cycling through running programs that I don't know of? i'm a linux newbie
[04:11] <Tripp> K17MT: No Worries, I got it.  -- recovery mode, drop to root, ls /home
[04:11] <tr33m4n> sylasL, so the full command would be 'sudo dpkg -i "media/Ubuntu 11.10 i386/pool/main/b/b43-fw-cutter.deb"'
[04:11] <lilVaratep> How do you make TERMINATOR terminal beep when in irssi? I already '/set' all the stuff for irssi and I even edited the config.py in /usr/share/terminator/terminatorlib/config.py to audible_something True
[04:11] <tr33m4n> sylasL, so the full command would be 'sudo dpkg -i "/media/Ubuntu 11.10 i386/pool/main/b/b43-fw-cutter.deb"'
[04:12] <sylasL> thanks :) ok, so i got something new now
[04:12] <tr33m4n> sylasL, ignore first command i just posted
[04:12] <tr33m4n> sylasL, good
[04:12] <chillpill> hello
[04:12] <Tripp> Which actually concerns me somewhat.. I can just hit esc during boot and use recovery mode to access root... How exactly is that not a huge security hole?
[04:12] <sylasL> tr33m4n, is there any particular part you need to know?
[04:12] <calebu2> I think I need to go for a fourth OS for my tablet. 3 just isn't confusing enough
[04:13] <escott> Tripp, physical access is and always has been and always should be root access
[04:13] <tr33m4n> sylasL, not really, if it installs with no errors all is good :)
[04:13] <tr33m4n> sylasL, in theory :p
[04:13] <sylasL> oh, let's not get ahead of ourselves here
[04:13] <sylasL> we do have an error
[04:14] <tr33m4n> sylasL, what is it? is it something to do with dependencies?
[04:14] <Tripp> escott: Yet ubuntu feels the need to force sudo on people...
[04:14] <sylasL> dpkg:error: unknown option - /
[04:14] <KI7MT> Tripp, more often than not, it's much safer than root.
[04:15] <escott> Tripp, if you dont want to use sudo there are many other distributions that will gladly help you shoot yourself in the foot
[04:15] <sylasL> tr33m4n, did i enter the first initial code incorrectly?
[04:15] <KI7MT> Especially with folks that are new to Linux in general.
[04:16] <tr33m4n> sylasL, copy and paste this http://paste.ubuntu.com/867727/
[04:16] <sylasL> tr33m4n, ok
[04:16] <Tripp> escott: *chuckles* Why another distro when you can just reenable root within ubuntu in what.. 3 commands?  (yes yes *stern voice* That is not supported by #ubuntu)
[04:17] <KI7MT> Will also cause you problems as the infrastructure is setup for root-sudo
[04:18] <damo22> i have not had any issues running as root
[04:18] <ztag100> ubuntu doesn't force sudo on you
[04:18] <ztag100> you can easily switch to root user
[04:18] <ztag100> there is a setting
[04:18] <KI7MT> You would be the exception moer than the rule on a Ubuntu disto.
[04:18] <tr33m4n> sylasL, oh hang on a minute... is b43-fw-cutter a folder?
[04:19] <Tripp> you won't damo22, pretty much it is scare tactics of the younger generation afraid of responsibility
[04:19] <tr33m4n> sylasL, and is there another file inside?
[04:19] <sylasL> tr33m4n,ah, yes!
[04:19] <damo22> lol
[04:19] <sylasL> tr33m4n, i will replace the one for the other?
[04:20] <escott> Tripp, b/c if they are using another distro thats one fewer person to come into channel and say some variant of "I just chown -R /'ed, chmod -R /'ed, rm -rf /'ed and broke my system"
[04:20] <tr33m4n> sylasL, aahh! what's the name of the file inside?
[04:20] <KI7MT> That's why Im on a gentoo box, doing support for Ubuntu :-) .. root's not scary, you just need to know what your doing and allot of new linuc users don't, which is understandable.
[04:20] <damo22> obviously i dont log into X as root, thats not really too clever, but running as root in a terminal is ok
[04:21] <KI7MT> Not wise to IRC as root either, but people still do it.
[04:21] <tr33m4n> sylasL, sorry, it's quite difficult sometimes figuring things out without the actual situation in front of you :p
[04:22] <sylasL> tr33m4n, no problem at all, i am just thankful to have someone who has a better idea of what do do than me! :)
[04:22] <Tripp> I have a voip server running on a box, the only reason I log into it is for maintenance / administrative reasons.  I cannot even begin to count how many lectures I have gotten because I login as root.
[04:23] <ztag100> I always loggin to my web server as root
[04:23] <ztag100> The webserver doesn't run as root though
[04:23] <damo22> :)
[04:23] <ztag100> doing maintenance from root is fine
[04:23] <tr33m4n> sylasL, so what is the name of the file inside the folder b43-fw-cutter?
[04:24] <Tripp> someone using a box for their desktop machine obviously surfing porn as root would be bad practice, but I downloaded the ISO for Ubuntu Server and by default it forces you to use sudo
[04:24] <lilVaratep> I currently have ubuntu installed through WUBI or something through WIN7. Is there a way to make it so Ubuntu is installed into the hard drive itself without formatting the hard drive just to make partitions?
[04:24] <ztag100> Tripp: if you are using ubuntu for a server, you should be using sudo
[04:24] <ztag100> I run my server on debian
[04:25] <KI7MT> Yup, wasn't goign there, but true true :-)
[04:26] <Tripp> actually I've come to the conclusion that for my purposes distro does not really matter.
[04:26] <sylasL> tr33m4n, the name is b43-fwcutter_014-9_i386.deb
[04:26] <KI7MT> lilVaratep, You can dual boot the system having WinDoze installed first, which the preferred method.
[04:26] <tr33m4n> sylasL, ok, try copy and pasting this command instead http://paste.ubuntu.com/867732/
[04:26] <Tripp> From first login till having the server live is like 1/2 dozen commands including network and ipsec setup. lol
[04:27] <lilVaratep> KI7MT wtheck is windoze
[04:27] <KI7MT> lilVaratep, :-) Windows XP,Vista,7 etc etc: here have a read through this first.: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot
[04:28] <ztag100> The way I see it, ubuntu is for a laptop/desktop and you don't have to worry about whether or not it works
[04:28] <sylasL> tr33m4n, it looks like the "outer" file's name on my comp is b43-fwcutter, not b43-fw-cutter, should that be different?
[04:28] <ztag100> nigger`'
[04:28] <ztag100> stupid friend sent that
[04:28] <ztag100> sorry
[04:29] <KI7MT> lilVaratep, If your running WUBI now, that's not a true Linux env, it's still runnign in a Win env.
[04:29] <ztag100> I'll tell him to go beep him self
[04:29] <chipmonk> how different are osx and ubuntu? I want to use unity 3d game engine
[04:29] <Tripp> I guess I should of clarified my current sitting at home defination of server ;)
[04:29] <damo22> sylasL, why dont you use tab completion
[04:29] <tr33m4n> sylasL, ah right, yeah try changing it to that then
[04:29] <sylasL> damo22, because i have no idea what that means
[04:30] <damo22> sylasL, all you have to do is type the first bit of the name and hit tab to finish it
[04:30] <ztag100> chipmonk: in terms of end use? or interms of internals?
[04:30] <lilVaratep> KI7MT is that why I can't find .config files?
[04:30] <sylasL> tr33m4n, will try it
[04:30] <chipmonk> either
[04:30] <KI7MT> lilVaratep, not sure about that, but, if you want a true Linux / Ubuntu environment, Dual boot is a good option.
[04:31] <lilVaratep> KI7MT I thought WUBI was a dual boot that's why... because it lets me choose at system startup which OS I want =\
[04:31] <ztag100> it's not the same as a real dualboot
[04:31] <Tripp> KI7 - What's your thoughts on BSD? (can I ask that publicly..?) *shrugs*
[04:31] <ztag100> it is an application that simulates a dual boot
[04:32] <KI7MT> lilVaratep, negative, it's a set of files install within the windows environment, similar to a large applicaiton.
[04:32] <chipmonk> is there an osx emulator for linux?
[04:32] <sylasL> tr33m4n, yay! something new!
[04:32] <lilVaratep> KI7MT How do I save all my settings from this ubuntu then? I've done a LOT of work on it and customizing it.
[04:32] <ztag100> chipmonk: you might be able to run a VM, but you need to have a license
[04:32] <tr33m4n> sylasL, excellent :) only a couple more to go :p
[04:33] <sylasL> tr33m4n, reading.. unpacking.. looking more promising
[04:33] <damo22> chipmonk, afaik you can install osx inside vmware legally
[04:33] <damo22> chipmonk, as long as you own osx
[04:33] <sylasL> tr33m4n, ok, looks like we're ready for something else now
[04:33] <alvinsun> hi, everyone
[04:34] <KI7MT> lilVaratep, I've not done allot of work inside WUBI, just tested the installs for UB-QA, so maybe somebody else could chime in one that one.
[04:34] <tr33m4n> sylasL, are you sure there is nothing in pool/restricted/b?
[04:34] <chipmonk> am looking for way to play bsg online free with unity engine...which comes in osx and win7 versions only
[04:34] <sylasL> tr33m4n, i don't see anything when i open the file
[04:35]  * ztag100 is a stupid alcholic
[04:35] <Tripp> hmm is there a vmware channel?
[04:35] <ztag100> it's going to take 3 hours for my update
[04:35] <ztag100> Tripp: why vmware?
[04:35] <KI7MT> chipmonk, from my understanding, no, there's no native OSX emulator, but there are a few apps that can and do port over.
[04:35] <damo22> Tripp: what do you need to know
[04:36] <Tripp> ztag100: installation of vmware tools on a command line linux installation
[04:36] <damo22> Tripp, i just did that
[04:36] <tr33m4n> sylasL, then you'll need to download this file and some how get it to your un-connected computer http://76.73.4.58/ubuntu/pool/restricted/b/bcmwl/bcmwl-kernel-source_5.100.82.38+bdcom-0ubuntu3.2_i386.deb
[04:36] <ztag100> why do you want to use vmware?
[04:36] <Tripp> Pretty much I am getting tired of pressing crtl-alt
[04:36] <sylasL> tr33m4n, ok.
[04:36] <Tripp> ztag100: why would you not run vmware is the question
[04:37] <ztag100> use kvm instead
[04:37] <Tripp> kvm?
[04:37] <ztag100> yah, kvm and qemu
[04:38] <Tripp> what is the advantage of that?
[04:38] <minerale> Hi, is there a pre-made Ubuntu Xen Template (domU) with a paravirtualized (PV) kernel from a trusted source ?
[04:38] <Hiroolo> Hello, I'm having some trouble getting Pyrit-CUDA to work in 11.10 (/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lcuda).  I was wondering if anyone in the room uses the program?
[04:39] <sylasL> tr33m4n, ok plugged in flash drive with kernel on it
[04:40] <ztag100> Do alot of people really use ubuntu on a server?
[04:40] <tr33m4n> sylasL, ok, first we need to install a couple more files before we can install that kernel file. essentially we need to do the same command we did before, but modify it slight to install patch and dkms
[04:40] <sylasL> lead the way
[04:41] <alvinsun> hi, i am a iter
[04:42] <ganni> hi,
[04:42] <tr33m4n> sylasL, so the path in the 'sudo dpkg -i' command needs to change from b/b43-fw-cutter/b43-fwcutter_014-9_i386.deb to p/patch/name_of_your_patch.deb
[04:42] <sylasL> tr33m4n, ok
[04:46] <Tripp> ztag100: No Clue, what do you prefer?
[04:46] <ganni> I want to setup a secure mail server. Do i need to enable TLS in postfix, dovecot OR simple ssl setup in httpd is enough?
[04:46] <Blue1> wow - whatever happened to my video doesn't work?
[04:47] <sylasL> tr33m4n, all right, looks good for the patch, too
[04:47] <tr33m4n> sylasL, brilliant, now we do the same for dkms, so d/dkms/name_of_your_dkms.deb
[04:48] <malkauns_> how do u use beep  (command) with pulseaudio?
[04:49] <minerale> Is there an virtual image "ubuntu appliance" (similar to VMWare) but for xen?
[04:49] <Random832> why doesn't thunderbird show in my alt-tab list?
[04:50] <sylasL> tr33m4n, ok, looking fine
[04:51] <tr33m4n> sylasL, so now that they are both installed we need to install that kernel .deb. the best thing to do would be to copy the file from your usb drive onto your desktop
[04:51] <nt51> Hi, I'm on a MacMini4,1 (Unibody 2010 model w/ DVD drive) and I keep having trouble booting the OS. I run a dual monitor setup, and even with the boot option "nomodeset", both monitors display nothing. If I only have one monitor connected, it works just fine. What should I do?
[04:51] <nt51> This includes the LiveCD.
[04:52] <sylasL> tr33m4n, ok pasted onto desktop
[04:52] <chipmonk> trying to run setup of unity 3.5of5 in wine and get unable to elevate installer it requires administrator access....any comments
[04:52] <tr33m4n> sylasL, and then use the command 'sudo dpkg -i /home/your_username/Desktop/bcmwl-kernel-source_5.100.82.38+bdcom-0ubuntu3.2_i386.deb
[04:52] <tr33m4n> sylasL, obviously replacing your_username
[04:53] <sylasL> tr33m4n, yes, i understood it this time but thanks for being so clear :)
[04:53] <nt51> Anyone have any suggestions as to what I should do?
[04:54] <chipmonk> nt51 who made your video
[04:54] <tr33m4n> sylasL, no worries, better to be safe than sorry
[04:54] <dr_willis> nt51: install with one monitir then install the video card drivers perhaps
[04:54] <KI7MT> chipmonk, Im a bit confused here, Unity and wine don't normally go together, unless there's a Windows app called Unity.
[04:54] <RiXtEr--Home> Hey all, when doing anything with files (du -hc --total, or moving/deleteing a large amount, transferring them to another pc, etc)  my load average jumps (sometimes up above 5), any ideas on how to fix this?
[04:55] <chipmonk> unity 3.5of5 is an online gaming engine
[04:55] <dr_willis> nt51:  then hookup the other monitor
[04:55] <nt51> dr_willis, even with the video card drivers installed (which happens to be the built in neavou driver), it still displays nothing, and only half of the time I boot the system will the driver initialize.
[04:55] <Notimik> is it possible to get thunderbird to auto open the thread where the new email is?
[04:55] <KI7MT> chipmonk, Ok, no idea what that is, so I'll shut up now :-)
[04:55] <nt51> for even one display
[04:55] <Nicolas_Leonida2> is it possible to give a user read/write permission to a directory  without changing the ownership of the directory
[04:55] <sylasL> tr33m4n, should i put quotation marks around /home...deb this time?
[04:56] <chipmonk> a valid question k17mt
[04:56] <dr_willis> nt51:  you tried the actyal nvidia drivers nit the nouveau ones?
[04:56] <Notimik> Nicolas_Leonida2, put him in a group that could write to that dir
[04:56] <tr33m4n> sylasL, it's not necessary but you can do. The quotation marks are used when there are spaces in folder names
[04:56] <sylasL> ok
[04:56] <nt51> dr_willis: I have had no luck getting the actual nvidia drivers to work, only the nouveau ones will initialize and start the WM successfully...which is every other time I start the system.
[04:57] <Nicolas_Leonida2> Notimik: any other way?
[04:57] <RiXtEr--Home> Nicolas_Leonida2, xattributes?
[04:57] <dr_willis> nt51: ive had worse luck with neovu
[04:57] <chipmonk> are they nvidia drivers for mac version of video card to run in linux?
[04:57] <Notimik> Nicolas_Leonida2, make it so that other could read and write to it, guess it could be solved thru acl too
[04:58] <sylasL> tr33m4n, ok!
[04:58] <RiXtEr--Home> Nicolas_Leonida2, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_file_attributes
[04:58] <tr33m4n> sylasL, cool... I'd suggest a reboot, then see where we are from there
[04:59] <nt51> chipmonk: I haven't seen any Mac version of the 320M drivers anywhere. dr_willis: yeah, it's buggy. one time I boot the system, it'll start just fine, while if I reboot, it'll hang.
[04:59] <sylasL> tr33m4n, ok, let's see what happens
[04:59] <RiXtEr--Home> Nicolas_Leonida2, or maybe a better read ... http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/opensource/learn-to-use-extended-file-attributes-in-linux-to-boost-security/1116
[04:59] <KI7MT> Nicolas_Leonida2, you could create a group, give it R/W and add only him to the group preserving the dir ownership.
[05:02] <sylasL> tr33m4n, ok i've rebooted
[05:02] <tr33m4n> sylasL, any sign of wifi life?
[05:03] <sylasL> tr33m4n, not really.
[05:03] <KI7MT> man I hope so you all been at this broadcom issue for a while.
[05:03] <nt51> it seems like I always have some type of GPU problem on this machine...every other machine works just fine.
[05:03] <tr33m4n> sylasL, hmm. Is there a wifi toggle switch on your laptop, maybe a function key or something?
[05:03] <chipmonk> nt51 look at pastebin 867768
[05:04] <sylasL> tr33m4n, do i need to somehow further "activate" it? the wireless button isn't turning on
[05:04] <Nicolas_Leonida2> I think I got the answer, it's not possible without additional stuff such as xattributes, or acl
[05:04] <Nicolas_Leonida2> I created a folder within that folder, and made the user the owner that was a good work around
[05:04] <CFHowlett> sylasL   hardware switch would be my guess as well
[05:05] <sylasL> tr33m4n, CFHowlett just a moment
[05:05] <nt51> chipmonk: how do I get to that paste?
[05:06] <KI7MT> Nicolas_Leonida2, it's done all the time for things like web-folders, make a group, add them to group, give group r/w permissions.
[05:06] <chipmonk> msg nt51 http://paste.ubuntu.com/867768/
[05:06] <CFHowlett> !plymouith
[05:06] <kaen> where might I find the default contents of /etc/modprobe.d ?
[05:06] <kaen> if I don't have an ubuntu install
[05:06] <CFHowlett> !plymouth>cfhowlett
[05:06] <Nicolas_Leonida2> KI7MT: the reason I hesitate to do that is that root is the owner, changing that may screw things up, wouldn't it?
[05:07] <nt51> chipmonk: ah, thought you mean pastebin.com...will take a look. Thanks
[05:07] <indystorm> why does ubuntu lag? Firefox will freeze for up to 30 seconds and the screen dims out on it. Any ideas!?
[05:07] <L3top> indystorm: has to do with flash
[05:07] <KI7MT> Nicolas_Leonida2, No, the owner would remain, but the person could add, edit, delete files within the folder.
[05:08] <Nicolas_Leonida2> KI7MT: right, thanks
[05:08] <indystorm> OK- is there a fix?
[05:08] <nt51> chipmonk: okay, how would this help me in any way? does nVidia provide Linux drivers for this card on their website that I haven't seen?
[05:08] <RiXtEr--Home> indystorm, don't run flash?
[05:08] <RiXtEr--Home> indystorm, ;)
[05:08] <L3top> indystorm: you can try gnash... but many specific things wont work... like huludesktop etc
[05:09] <indystorm> not cool- I might as well not run linux if I can't fun flash---!
[05:09] <RiXtEr--Home> indystorm, do you have unity 3d (default ubuntu) and what video card are you using
[05:09] <KI7MT> Nicolas_Leonida2, here's an example: http://superuser.com/questions/19318/how-can-i-give-write-access-of-a-folder-to-all-users-in-linux
[05:09] <indystorm> I don't use hulu
[05:09] <L3top> indystorm: was just an example
[05:09] <KI7MT> see answer 29
[05:09] <tr33m4n> sylasL, brb, migrating to another room
[05:10] <dr_willis> i imagine in a year or two flash will have gone the way of realplayer
[05:10] <L3top> some things will not work... but for the most part gnash works pretty well.
[05:10] <RiXtEr--Home> dr_willis, thats the idea behind HTML5 AFAIK
[05:10] <indystorm> I am actually running Zorin-OS... it's based on ubuntu 11.10 just with a fancy desktop gui- it's pretty cool, I like it a lot.... running on a stock dell optiplex 755... core 2 duo- 80gig drive, 2gb ram... on board video- standard 15 pin vga... no DVI.....
[05:10] <L3top> I dunno if that is correct... HTML5 has some things flash just does well
[05:10] <L3top> not to mention deep market saturation
[05:11] <L3top> but that is the idea
[05:11] <KI7MT> Yep HTML5 will solve allot of this Flash nonsense we put up with now.
[05:11] <dr_willis> realplayer had deep market saturation... once.
[05:11] <dr_willis> ;)
[05:11] <L3top> fair enough
[05:11] <RiXtEr--Home> it still does on certain sites.
[05:11] <RiXtEr--Home> heh
[05:11] <indystorm> I hope to hell it does--! flash is crap- so slow-
[05:11] <chipmonk> so did lotus 123 at one time
[05:11] <L3top> I am certainly on board...
[05:11] <Nicolas_Leonida2> Flash will never go away, it will continue to bother you because of video streaming
[05:12] <RiXtEr--Home> nah
[05:12] <kaen> er, system froze. anyone know were I would find the default contents /etc/modprobe.d without having ubuntu installed?
[05:12] <kaen> where, even
[05:12] <L3top> Nicolas_Leonida2: if you go to youtube, you can subscribe right now to the html5 beta
[05:12] <Xabster> I'm in the process of following a guide to remove Unity and use Gnome Classic instead. Part of the guide says: "Remove Truzzi of ubuntu." I googled, but I don't know what that means... any help?
[05:12] <desk51> which is the best compression software for  files in ubuntu?
[05:12] <RiXtEr--Home> adobe is killing themselves slowly... first acrobat reader was good... then got progressivly worse, now its a huge download, runs slow, and is pretty much crap
[05:12] <L3top> its a comin
[05:13] <xangua> !nounity | Xabster
[05:13] <CFHowlett> !best|desk51
[05:13] <Nicolas_Leonida2> L3top: I know, but developers have no control over html5's <video> websites will need that to show adds, and all that crap
[05:13] <L3top> oh... you mean pron ;)
[05:13] <Captain_Proton> indystorm, go to flash sit start youtube vid right click on got to setting and turn off hardware  acceleration. happen on windows to :)
[05:13] <L3top> yeah... its gonna be a while till flash dies
[05:13] <dr_willis> desk51:  7zip or bgzip are the 2 i see the most
[05:14] <Xabster> xangua, I don't see any explanation of what "Remove Truzzi of Ubuntu" means in that help message
[05:14] <RiXtEr--Home> I dunno... google has been big on the html5 thing for a few years, its just a matter of time before they take the market in that area as well
[05:14] <xangua> Xabster: neither do I
[05:14] <dr_willis> Xabster:  never heard or truzzi either
[05:14] <indystorm> ok cool thanks dude! I'll try it! :)
[05:14] <KI7MT> xangua, I didn't know that bot existed, that's good info. Hope it holds true for 12.04
[05:14] <sylasL> tr33m4n, sorry for the delay
[05:16]  * RiXtEr--Home can't wait for  the release of  'Ubuntu for Android' ... MMMMHHHMMMM
[05:18] <dr_willis> i got android for my netbook now. :)
[05:18] <indystorm> that seemed to work- thanks a ton! that's awesome.....
[05:18] <Sixmsj> how's the speed for 12.04 versus 11.10
[05:18] <CFHowlett> !precise|sixmsj
[05:19] <RiXtEr--Home> dr_willis, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyeFcldavTk Flipping awesome
[05:19] <dr_willis> speed testing betas is not a good benchmark
[05:20] <Sixmsj> 12.04 beta came right after i went back to 10.04 from 11.10 ._.
[05:21] <KI7MT> That Andriod rocks !
[05:22] <RiXtEr--Home> KI7MT, did you watch that video... :)
[05:22] <RiXtEr--Home> *entire
[05:23] <KI7MT> Im watching it now, I have 2x Android phones.
[05:23] <dr_willis> you can set up ubuntu on rooted android now if you really wanted to. its a vm and vnc setup
[05:23] <RiXtEr--Home> dr_willis, no no this is entirely different
[05:23] <KI7MT> I wanna know how he did it now.
[05:24] <RiXtEr--Home> dr_willis, they either have an app or completely replace the android os, but when it hits a dock it turns into a full blown ubuntu desktop
[05:24] <dr_willis> RiXtEr--Home:  i know
[05:24] <RiXtEr--Home> I wish the vid would show more on the phone side of things.
[05:24] <RiXtEr--Home> KI7MT, my guess is when 12.04 releases this will release
[05:24] <Captain_Proton> anyany pre order a sparkle tablet?
[05:25] <KI7MT> Time to start googling :-)
[05:25] <RiXtEr--Home> KI7MT, if you find a leaked copy, let me know :)
[05:25] <KI7MT> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xN4c61ETCWg
[05:26] <RiXtEr--Home> KI7MT, this isn't it though.
[05:26] <KI7MT> We should go to Off-Topic really.
[05:27] <RiXtEr--Home> KI7MT, why, this is fully ubuntu related.
[05:27] <RiXtEr--Home> KI7MT, either way, i am going to bed now ;)
[05:27] <tr33m4n> sylasL, back
[05:27] <sylasL> hi tr33m4n :) sorry i disappeared there
[05:27] <pankaj_sharma> whats the channel name for off topic?
[05:27] <tr33m4n> sylasL, as did i
[05:27] <CFHowlett> pankaj_sharma   #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:28] <pankaj_sharma> CFHowlett, thanks
[05:29] <sylasL> tr33m4n, i noticed when i click on the "internet" icon (top right by the clock), it doesnt show an option of 'wireless network, disconnected' anymore. it only shows wired network, disconnected
[05:30] <sylasL> the computer's wireless button isn't doing a thing
[05:30] <tr33m4n> sylasL, oh, ok
[05:30] <CFHowlett> syslq   tr33m4n make sure you haven't blacklisted the wireless drivers.
[05:32] <tr33m4n> sylasL, if you run 'gksudo jockey-gtk' do the wireless drivers appear in there?
[05:35] <lilVaratep> Guys.. I get no sound from flash players.. such as youtube
[05:35] <lilVaratep> HELP!
[05:35] <lilVaratep> im on google chrome
[05:35] <sylasL> tr33m4n, got some error msgs... unalbe to locate theme engine in module path. also a popup window saying downloading package index failed, check network status.
[05:37] <tr33m4n> sylasL, ah ok, don't worry about them
[05:37] <sylasL> tr33m4n, ok
[05:37] <sylasL> tr33m4n, no proprietary drivers are in use on this system
[05:38] <tr33m4n> sylasL, could you paste the output of 'lspci -vvnn | grep 14e4' into http://paste.ubuntu.com/ for me?
[05:42] <tr33m4n> sylasL, oh I just thought, i bet that's kinda hard without internet access :S
[05:42] <sylasL> tr33m4n, :) http://paste.ubuntu.com/867798/
[05:44] <Drathe> hmm
[05:44] <tr33m4n> sylasL, my bad need to try a different method
[05:45] <sylasL> tr33m4n, no problem. i feel bad that i've been monopolizing your time for 2+ hrs now, thought
[05:45] <sylasL> though
[05:46] <KI7MT> tr33m4n, not to muddy the waters, but what about ndiswrapper and modprobe the driver
[05:47] <Drathe> who was helping me earlier?
[05:47] <tr33m4n> sylasL, is fine, no worries :) you gonna need to download 2 more files, http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o and http://mirror2.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5.tar.bz2 and put them on your desktop
[05:48] <tr33m4n> KI7MT, sussed it now, really should of paid more attention earlier :p
[05:48] <KI7MT> Ahh ok.
[05:49] <sylasL> tr33m4n, got them on the desktop
[05:54] <tr33m4n> sylasL, ok can you do 'sudo dpkg --remove bcmwl-kernel-source*'
[05:55] <risoyr> Hello! I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 and I'm getting this error - http://pastebin.com/tZV48gbt - when trying to install konversation. CAn anyone help me fix it?
[05:55] <tr33m4n> sylasL, I completely misread what broadcom version you had, my bad
[05:55] <phy1729> When installing Ubuntu 11.10 The monitor goes into power save mode after about a minute. There does not seem to be a setting in the BIOS to prevent this. noacpi nomodeset and noapm do not fix the problem. What should I do to fix this?
[05:57] <hydrox24> phy1729: I am assuming that you've looked throught the ubuntu power settings under the system setting program
[05:58] <sylasL> tr33m4n, no problem! looks like the command worked fine
[05:58] <phy1729> hydrox24: I can't as I don't have ubuntu installed yet
[05:59] <CFHowlett> risoyr   what version of ubuntu are you running
[05:59] <tr33m4n> sylasL, ok now 'cd ~/Desktop'
[05:59] <hydrox24> phy1729: right, ofcourse, sorry about that
[05:59] <tr33m4n> sylasL, and then 'tar xfvj broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5.tar.bz2'
[05:59] <sylasL> tr33m4n, ok
[06:00] <hydrox24> phy1729: what sort of computer are you using?
[06:00] <reith2004> phy1729, i have that problem also, are you going to  install ubuntu on laptop?
[06:00] <phy1729> Dell vostro 400
[06:00] <phy1729> reith2004: It's a desktop
[06:00] <sylasL> tr33m4n, ok
[06:01] <risoyr> CFHowlett: Ubuntu 10.04
[06:01] <reith2004> phy1729, oh, what ubuntu version are you trying to install?
[06:01] <tr33m4n> sylasL, then 'sudo b43-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o'
[06:02] <phy1729> 11.10 Server
[06:03] <reith2004> phy1729, try nolapic noapic nomodeset
[06:03] <sylasL> tr33m4n, ok
[06:03] <tr33m4n> sylasL, then 'sudo b43-fwcutter --unsupported -w /lib/firmware broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5/driver/wl_apsta_mimo.o'
[06:04] <phy1729> reith2004: trying
[06:04] <sylasL> tr33m4n, ok
[06:06] <tr33m4n> sylasL, now in theory if you do 'sudo jockey-gtk' something might come up
[06:06] <tr33m4n> sylasL, hopefully it won't complain about no internet
[06:07] <hydrox24> phy1729: hows it going so far?
[06:07] <sylasL> tr33m4n, it did complain about no internet and then it told me there were no proprietary drivers in use on my system
[06:07] <phy1729> hydrox24: seems to be working
[06:07] <CFHowlett> risoyr    you could install kdebase-runtime and then install konversation
[06:08] <phy1729> Nope just went off
[06:08] <tr33m4n> sylasL, hmm, try running this command 'sudo modprobe -r b43 ssb' followed by this command 'sudo modprobe b43'
[06:09] <sylasL> tr33m4n, ok
[06:09] <sylasL> nothing happened
[06:10] <tr33m4n> sylasL, now try a reboot
[06:10] <Nicolas_Leonida2> does anyone have mediatomb installed for ps3?
[06:10] <sylasL> tr33m4n, will do
[06:11] <KI7MT> Gotta love Broadcom .. what a pain they are.
[06:11] <tr33m4n> KI7MT, ha, yep
[06:11] <hydrox24> phy1729: I can't really find any info about this issue online with some preliminary searches, do you have a spare external monitor? if so I might suggest using that to see if it works any better
[06:12] <phy1729> hydrox24: they all do it
[06:12] <pat123> indeed
[06:12] <hydrox24> KI7MT: agreed, I can't get mon0 to switch channels from -1 and I am too scared that i'll break my amazingly well working brcmsmac driver to recompile the newest one.
[06:13] <sylasL> tr33m4n, ok, when i turned it on, it said "wireless network disabled by hardware switch", then, when i pressed the switch, it now says "device not ready"
[06:14] <KI7MT> LOL I dont blame you, I had a similar situation with a Netgear WG311, took me forever to get that thing working.
[06:15] <hydrox24> phy1729: Maybe try the 12.04 beta? Normally I wouldn't recommend this as it's not really a satisfactory solution and could be a pain for you but it is worth a go if you can be bothered.
[06:15] <sylasL> tr33m4n, is my crappy old computer a lost cause?
[06:16] <tr33m4n> sylasL, shouldn't be, just doing some quick research :p
[06:16] <sylasL> tr33m4n, ok. i've been wondering where on earth you've been coming up with all of these commands! :)
[06:16] <hydrox24> sylasL: try "sudo rfkill list all" for a little more info, soft block is ubuntu/software hardblock is the hardware.
[06:17] <CFHowlett> sylasL   ? this help?  https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/wireless-became-disabled-how-do-i-enable-858357/

[06:17] <CFHowlett> hydrox24   broadcom wireless ...
[06:17] <phy1729> hydrox24: will do
[06:17] <sylasL> hydrox24, wireless not working after installation
[06:18] <sylasL> CFHowlett, thanks :)
[06:18] <hydrox24> sysdoc: I am assuming your on 11.10?
[06:18] <hydrox24> sylasL: I am assuming your on 11.10?
[06:19] <sylasL> yes
[06:19] <KI7MT> I've seen more prob's with BC cards here in UB support than I can count, then need to fix this at the kernel level.
[06:20] <pat123> works fine for me on most regular ubuntu but not on  others
[06:20] <KI7MT> t.. they need ..
[06:21] <KI7MT> Intel Pro cards here all the way.  e1000 and e1000e drivers :-)

[06:25] <sylasL> hydrox24, http://paste.ubuntu.com/867827/
[06:25] <Canadian1296> How do I automatically set the time in Ubuntu from the command line? I didn't have internet when I installed and the timestamps on all my logfiles are off.
[06:26] <CFHowlett> Canadian1296   see http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-set-date-time-from-linux-command-prompt/
[06:26] <Canadian1296> CFHowlett: Thanks
[06:27] <KI7MT> Canadian1296, open a terminal, dpkg-reconfigure tzdata  .. follow directions.
[06:27] <WakkaFlockaFlame> what up mah babies
[06:28] <doc-saintly> Does meld perform a binary comparison on files?
[06:28] <hydrox24> CFHowlett: sorry, yes please
[06:29] <CFHowlett> hydrox24   per the ubuntu broadcom wiki, sylasl used the b43 no internet method to configure his wifi.  No joy.  He's got a broadcom 4318 and it should have worked.  I'd *almost* suggest compiling the broadcom sta linux driver as nothing else seems to work.
[06:29] <KI7MT> Canadian1296, then a simple sudo date nnddhhmmyyyy.ss  should put you back where you want to be.
[06:30] <tr33m4n> CFHowlett, hydrox24 I made the mistake of thinking STA driver was needed when in fact b43 (legacy) was required
[06:30] <Canadian1296> KI7MT CFHowlett: Got it, thanks :)
[06:30] <tr33m4n> CFHowlett, hydrox24 sorry, meant to say NOT legacy
[06:32] <TurtleSoup> I have an internet switchbox running ethernet to about 40 different boxes. My specific server is on a router, local IP 192.168.2.4. Is there a way I can connect to this computer from outside of the local network if I also know the switch's IP? (for the purpose of Ampache.)
[06:32] <KI7MT> Canadian1296, just fyi:  nn=month, dd=day, hh=hour, mm=minute, .ss = seconds,
[06:32] <KI7MT> Oh and YYYY=Year :-)
[06:33] <TurtleSoup> The router has ethernet from the switchbox, and it connects the server via ethernet from the router.
[06:34] <phy1729> hydrox24: It seems to be working with the beta
[06:35] <hydrox24> phy1729: really? fantastic!
[06:35] <phy1729> I am just as suprised as you
[06:36] <hydrox24> phy1729: so are you happy to use 12.04 then?
[06:36] <phy1729> Never mind -__-
[06:36] <hydrox24> phy1729: rats.
[06:36] <phy1729> Just turned off
[06:36] <hydrox24> CFHowlett: can I suggest the brcmsmac driver? it always works for me.
[06:37] <hydrox24> phy1729: is it turning off the laptops main screen? and is it the onlt thing that turns off or does the HDD spin down after a while too>
[06:38] <__machine> i want to install forked-daapd on 10.04 lts, but no package is available… do i just install from src? or look for backport? or build a backport?
[06:38] <phy1729> hydrox24: It's a desktop; I think the HDD is still active
[06:39] <CFHowlett> hydrox24   well nothing else has worked ...
[06:39] <tr33m4n> sylasL, im going to call it quits, there are some peeps here looking into the issues it would seem, need to get some sleep. Hope it gets fixed soon!
[06:40] <sylasL> tr33m4n, thank you all of your time and help!!! have a good night
[06:40] <sylasL> i have to hit the sack too.
[06:41] <tr33m4n> sylasL, no problem :) adios
[06:41] <hydrox24> sylasL: you sure you don
[06:41] <hydrox24> sylasL: want to try the brcm80211 driver first?
[06:41] <sylasL> oh, i have a toddler that just woke up and it's almost 1 am here. wish i could!
[06:42] <myrmidette> can anyone explain to me how I can remove the first few seconds of a .ogm video?
[06:42] <hydrox24> sylasL: that's cool, just look into install brcm80211 when you can, I think you might have a hope.
[06:43] <hydrox24> sylasL: If that doesn't work, upgrading the kernel to the newest version sometimes improves things
[06:43] <OldOneEye> how many eggdrops can 5/1mbit connection support?
[06:43] <sylasL> thanks for all of your help hydrox24 and CFHowlett. i'll check it out
[06:43] <sylasL> good night :)
[06:44] <hydrox24> OldOneEye: not sure that that's an Ubuntu Q, try #linux or #networking
[06:44] <CFHowlett> sylasL   good night.  better luck tomorrow when we're all refreshed :)
[06:44] <sylasL> thanks!
[06:44] <myrmidette> I tried using ffmpeg and here is the output: http://pastebin.com/XEARYVaR
[06:45] <n00bprogrammer> I know this is for ubuntu but since most people that run ubuntu know a small bit about coding and vb/vb.net are dead, does any know visual basic? or possibly any language like it since I think it has more to do with the formula than the code...
[06:45] <phy1729> hydrox24: I don't suppose you know how to install blindly?
[06:45] <theadmin> n00bprogrammer: Visual Basic? Seriously? Use C#... It's more powerful and compiles to CLR as well

[06:48] <myrmidette> CFHowlett, the link doesn't really explain how to edit :( it only re-encodes video
[06:48] <hydrox24> phy1729: hmmm, not really... maybe you could vnc in...
[06:49] <hydrox24> phy1729: how complex is the install your doing.. is it just a clean insatall or are you doing dual-boot etc.

[06:49] <ziyadb> Hello, how do I enable audio jack sensing in unity?
[06:50] <hydrox24> sweet, looks like ssh may be an issue
[06:50] <kapz> asking in general....does anyone here own blackberry bold, and if you do how do you manage(sync,update etc.) it via ubuntu?
[06:50] <hydrox24> ziyadb: define 'sensing'
[06:51] <CFHowlett> myrmidette   gotta admit I've never even heard of an .ogm file.  But I did find this:  http://mygeekopinions.blogspot.com/2011/06/install-lives-in-ubuntu-1104-natty.html
[06:51] <CFHowlett> supports OGM editing as I read it.

[06:51] <ziyadb> hydrox24: the built-in speakers are not enabled once external speakers are plugged into the audio jack.
[06:51] <phy1729> hydrox24: I nmap'd it and everything was closed
[06:52] <ziyadb> hydrox24: I would like for it to detect if something is plugged and then disable the built-in speakers.

[06:55] <weeb1e> hydrox24: not pipes
[06:55] <weeb1e> hydrox24: From what I can tell, it needs to be a file
[06:56] <llutz_> weeb1e: a named pipe (fifo) is kinda file
[06:56] <ziyadb> hydrox24: any thoughts?
[06:56] <weeb1e> It'll be used by "log_file"
[06:56] <weeb1e> llutz_: Ok, thanks, I'll try that

[07:04] <Guest62335> is there a way of configuring x to disable the touchpad while typing?
[07:04] <ziyadb> hydrox24: it's past the point of modifying things from gnome-volume-control, alsamixer, or pulseaudio.
[07:05] <ziyadb> hydrox24: the only lead I have thus far is the greying out of the "headphones" setting on alsamixer, so it is likely to be a compatibility issue.

[07:07] <ziyadb> [arabic-man]: tamam.
[07:07]  * CFHowlett immediately goes into ghost mode
[07:07] <Wooden_Android> johnnycr, im having the same exact problem
[07:07] <ziyadb> hydrox24: So who knows a thing or two about audio troubleshooting?
[07:07] <johnnycr> nice, I'm not the only one in this boat!
[07:07] <ziyadb> at first I had tolerated it as a minor nuisance, it is however becoming an inconvenience.
[07:08] <hydrox24> johnnycr: when you plug it in, got to the network settings (right click wifi icon in top left) click wireless and see if you can turn it on
[07:08] <drounse> CFHowlett thats what i thought, i was at the local electronic store, and a guy was talking to a salesmen about how his mac wouldnt boot or something along those lines and he was trying to buy something for windows hdds for mounting and i said boot a live linux cd and they both looked at me like i was an idiot
[07:08] <CFHowlett> drounse   most computer store employers know jack all about computers except how to sell them.
[07:08] <[arabic-man]> "¤<ziyadb> [arabic-man]: tamam." you are from any country
[07:08] <johnnycr> hydrox24, I can turn it on and it says I'm connected to the network but firefox can't communicate with it
[07:08] <Gautam123> HI all, have a problem with my 11.10. Fresh install. Every time the computer boots, the volume is muted. I have to manually raise the volume level each time. Is there a fix for this? Thanks.
[07:08] <ziyadb> CFHowlett: which, arguably, is a very important skill :)
[07:09] <johnnycr> it says I'm connected but my browser gives me nothing
[07:09] <hydrox24> johnnycr: what error does the browser give?
[07:09] <ziyadb> johnnycr: in that case it's likely to be a network issue.
[07:09] <[arabic-man]> I'm looking for a job and a girl for marriage lol lol
[07:09] <drounse> CFHowlett yea i figured, cuz the salesmen was telling him to go to the microcenter and im like "NOOOO, just boot a live cd, youll save a ton of money"
[07:09] <Wooden_Android> hydrox24, johnnycr : when i test ubuntu it has my wireless turned off, and any attempt to turn it on does nothing
[07:09] <CFHowlett> johnnycr   or it could be a locked down network awaiting yoru entry code...

[07:11] <CFHowlett> jameslord   right.  to protect you
[07:11] <johnnycr> hydrox24, i can but you'll have to walk me through command line... its been a while
[07:12] <hydrox24> that's finw
[07:12] <weeb1e> In which case, the only thing I can think of is try use a normal file and keep clearing it as it is tailed
[07:12] <hydrox24> johnnycr: just type the "ping www.google.com" command in (without quotes) and hit enter
[07:12] <weeb1e> But I get the feeling that could result in lost data

[07:13] <Fyodorovna> needhelp1, in the mbr generally what is the other distro?
[07:13] <Canadian1296> I set up a complete mail server, and postfix will accept mail to the server, but when I try to send outgoing mail I get "Relay access denied"
[07:13] <hydrox24> needhelp1: use gparted to look at your systems partitions and find which partition has a boot flag. use that one.
[07:13] <CFHowlett> needhelp1   what bootloader do you have installed now?
[07:13] <drounse> Canadian1296 open ports?
[07:14] <Canadian1296> drounse: Everything is open (just for testing)
[07:14] <needhelp1> CFHowlett, how do i tell what bootloader i currently have?
[07:14] <phy1729> johnnycr: try "ping 8.8.8.8" No quotes
[07:14] <CFHowlett> needhelp1   how does the linux you currently have load?
[07:14] <jameslord> CFHowlett dude, don't you know what nopasswd means, i am using my pc for develop perpose, i hate type password:(
[07:14] <[arabic-man]> ok
[07:14] <churchill> Is there a way to get the fingerprint of a GPG public key string?
[07:14] <[arabic-man]> ok
[07:14] <johnnycr> phy1729, i got "Network is unreachable"
[07:14] <needhelp1> CFHowlett, loads directly from hdd, no grub menu as this is the only OS on the pc currently
[07:15] <churchill> I mean, FROM a string (not using the useless GUI).
[07:15] <Fyodorovna> needhelp1, what is that distro?
[07:15] <needhelp1> another ubuntu version
[07:15] <drounse> Canadian1296 hmm, check port 25
[07:15] <johnnycr> I have the linux driver for the adapter on a usb drive right now, but not sure how to install it
[07:15] <drounse> Canadian1296 thats the outgoing mail port
[07:15] <CFHowlett> needhelp1   thnn there's no other boot loader to mess up.  Install grub to the dev i.e. /dev/hda or /dev/sda
[07:15] <Fyodorovna> needhelp1, both grub 2 if past 9.10, put the grub in the mbr and this install will have grub controll.
[07:16] <needhelp1> do i need to check where my grub is currently installed to?
[07:16] <hydrox24> johnnycr: I think that your driver is OK, because the wifi symbol is lit up
[07:16] <Fyodorovna> needhelp1, no
[07:16] <drounse> Canadian1296 http://kb.mediatemple.net/questions/888/Checking+your+outgoing+mail+server+%28Is+Port+25+blocked%3F%29
[07:16] <needhelp1> so choose mbr correct?
[07:16] <CFHowlett> needhelp1   didn't you JUST tell me you don't have a bootloader installed already?
[07:17] <Fyodorovna> needhelp1, yes as CFHowlett described.
[07:17] <Canadian1296> drounse: I can connect to port 25, and i say helo, set mail from, but when I type "rcpt to: myemail@gmail.com" I get "554 5.7.1 <myemail@gmail.com>: Relay access denied"
[07:17] <needhelp1> CFHowlett, no bootloader would mean  i still have grub just not splash correct.
[07:17] <[arabic-man]> Well who wants to talk to me in the topics for the other to regulate the channel #may
[07:17] <[arabic-man]> "<[arabic-man]> Well who wants to talk to me in the topics for the other to regulate the channel #may"
[07:17] <drounse> Canadian1296 did you enable "server requires authentication"?
[07:18] <Fyodorovna> needhelp1, if you tapped shift at powering on with just the original ubuntu you would se ethe grub menu.
[07:18] <Canadian1296> drounse: I think so. Which config file is it in?
[07:18] <Fyodorovna> or esc depending on the actual ubuntu release.
[07:18] <Canadian1296> drounse: postfix's main.cf?
[07:18] <drounse> Canadian1296 possibly im not too sure :/
[07:18] <needhelp1> asuming there is one, i would still install to mbr correct?
[07:19] <Fyodorovna> needhelp1, yes, just note that when you want top update grub it will be from this install.
[07:19] <hydrox24> johnnycr: OK, so what does the driver come as (what sort of file>
[07:19] <Fyodorovna> to*
[07:20] <[arabic-man]> Wew
[07:20] <johnnycr> its a .zip file
[07:20] <drounse> Canadian1296 i just looked it up it is in the main.cf
[07:20] <needhelp1> thanks.
[07:20] <hydrox24> johnnycr: where did you get it (trying to figure out what steps to take to install it)
[07:20] <Canadian1296> drounse: Then I don't belivee I do... What is the actual option?
[07:20] <churchill> Is there a way to get the fingerprint of a GPG public key without using the stupid gui?
[07:20] <johnnycr> http://www.rosewill.com/products/1595/ProductDetail_Download.htm
[07:21] <Canadian1296> drounse: It should be noted I have SASL and TLS authentication. Probably a rougue option in one of their files.
[07:21] <hydrox24> churchill: try using the gpg command line program
[07:21] <Flannel> churchill: gpg --list-keys will list all your keys, --list-key email, or name, or whatever, will filter out just those keys.
[07:22] <Canadian1296> drounse: Ill be right nack.
[07:22] <drounse> Canadian1296 http://serverfault.com/questions/42519/how-to-correct-postfix-relay-access-denied use this website to check against the config file
[07:22] <Fyodorovna> needhelp1, you will see a grub menu now if you want either OS to be at the top as default, you would just give that Ubuntu grub control, by running a grub install to the mbr from the terminal in that version.
[07:22] <hydrox24> churchill: try using the --fingerprint option as well
[07:22] <churchill> hydrox24, Flannel: the problem I'm trying to solve is how to identify the key I added to the gui
[07:22] <phy1729> hydrox24: might have windows (which was previously on the computer) set someting on the graphics card?
[07:23] <hydrox24> churchill: does this command work for you? gpg --list-keys --fingerprint
[07:23] <drounse> i know this is random, but i hate unity i feel like it hasnt gotten any better
[07:23] <churchill> hydrox24, Flannel: there's absolutely no way for me to match which key I added without seeing the fingerprint of the PUBLIC KEY which I add!
[07:23] <Flannel> churchill: email? or just --list-keys and then peruse them.  If you just added it, it'll have todays date, it also may be the only one :)
[07:24] <churchill> Flannel, date is a good indication! ty
[07:25] <hydrox24> phy1729: that might be a good idea, it ceratinly occured to me earlier
[07:25] <phy1729> hydrox24: now how to reset that
[07:25]  * phy1729 searches
[07:25] <hydrox24> phy1729: hold on, so your telling me that the screen is sent to sleep and DOESNT wake up if you wiggle the mouse
[07:26] <Canadian1296> Im back.
[07:26] <phy1729> yep
[07:26] <phy1729> same with hitting the keyboard
[07:26] <Fyodorovna> hydrox24, you have to hit a key on the keyboard
[07:27] <phy1729> That's why it was such a problem istalling
[07:27] <hydrox24> Fyodorovna: no, phy1729 is having issues with the screen not waking up, not me.
[07:27] <[arabic-man]> I need a download site for chat programs work to break the ban or not one can I'm banned from Syria
[07:27] <Fyodorovna> hydrox24, ah my bad. :)
[07:27] <[arabic-man]> "<[arabic-man]> I need a download site for chat programs work to break the ban or not one can I'm banned from Syria"
[07:28] <phy1729> Fyodorovna: I'm trying to install; however, the screen sleeps and won't wake up after a few minutes.
[07:28] <phy1729> hydrox24: devolpment, it happens in the BIOS too.
[07:28] <Fyodorovna> phy1729, I saw that earlier let me google for info.
[07:28] <drounse> does anyone use vuze?
[07:29] <hydrox24> phy1729: well that REALLY sucks
[07:29] <hydrox24> phy1729: atleast it isnt
[07:29] <eSoul> I am trying to patch/compile a custom kernel module but I cant seem to find the file I need to edit after installing both the kernel-source package or the kernel-headers
[07:29] <hydrox24> phy1729: atleast it isnt ubuntu :)
[07:29] <phy1729> hydrox24: indeed, but somehow windows got it to work
[07:29] <phy1729> probably messed something up at the same time ;)
[07:29] <[arabic-man]> Wew
[07:30] <Fyodorovna> phy1729, you installing from the desktop or from the boot gui
[07:30] <ziyadb> hydrox24: oh that reminds me, I have a simple issue too. It doesn't suspend nor hibernate, if I issue those commands, it just dims the screen (presumably in an attempt to performed the specified action) and returns the login screen.

[07:33] <Fyodorovna> phy1729, have you tried the nomodeset option with a f6 prompt at the power on?
[07:34] <hydrox24> ziyadb: are you using unity or gnome-shell?
[07:34] <hydrox24> ziyadb: I had this issue for a while but it went away...
[07:34] <Fyodorovna> phy1729, https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+question/179901
[07:34] <phy1729> yes
[07:35] <ziyadb> hydrox24: Unity.
[07:35] <eSoul> phy1729, gt 6800 is an older card is it not?  just curious, im not trying to say it wont/will work, but I know thats the current nvidia cards are 3 digit now and not 4
[07:35] <phy1729> It is
[07:35] <ziyadb> hydrox24: I did however install compiz which disabled unity at first, but then I re-enabled it. This started happening before I installed it.
[07:35] <phy1729> power.apic_notimer=1
[07:36] <phy1729> tried noapic nomodeset and power.apic_notimer=1
[07:36] <jameslord> drounse dude, i often build software using common user, after the build is finished, the pc should be poweroff automatically ,
[07:36] <hydrox24> ziyadb: try setting your computer to hibernate when the lid is closed (if it's a laptop) and see if that works
[07:36] <Fyodorovna> phy1729, you have looked at this thread. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132
[07:36] <phy1729> Fyodorovna: no; looking now
[07:37] <eSoul> Does anyone know what package would give me the .c and .h files for kernel modules so that i can patch and build a custom driver
[07:37] <Canadian1296> Is there a way to keep a laptop running as if the lip was open even when it's closed?
[07:37] <eSoul> Canadian1296 -- tell the laptop to not suspend when the lid is closed, power option in System Settings
[07:37] <Fyodorovna> Canadian1296, yes you can set the power to do nothing when closed.
[07:38] <hydrox24> Canadian1296: just change the system power setting under "Systemsettings" to only turn of the screen when the lid is closed
[07:38] <Canadian1296> eSoul hydrox24: no GUI. How do I do it from the command line!
[07:38] <Canadian1296> **?
[07:38] <eSoul> ahh, good question
[07:39] <ziyadb> hydrox24: negative, perhaps I should configure it to auto-suspend once the lid is closed.
[07:40] <hydrox24> ziyadb: sorry, I meant suspend, not hibernate, suspend is what works for me.
[07:41] <jameslord> why NOPASSWD not works:)
[07:41] <jameslord> :(
[07:42] <theadmin> jameslord: Give your sudoers line, it must be malformed.
[07:42] <jameslord> theadmin dude, edit using visudo, malformed?
[07:42] <ziyadb> hydrox24: yeah, I tried both. Neither worked.
[07:43] <jameslord> theadmin jack ALL = (ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL
[07:43] <jameslord> help :)
[07:43] <jameslord> why NOPASSWD not words?
[07:43] <hydrox24> ziyadb: what happens when you close the lid?
[07:43] <theadmin> jameslord: Still give the line. Also be aware that lines that come later in the file are more important -- that is, if you have this line BEFORE the standard "%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL", that second line, with admin, will be more important. Also, you skipped a space.
[07:44] <dw-> My network connections are opening in Firefox how do I change that to Nautilus ?
[07:44] <eSoul> Does anyone know what ubuntu package actually has the .c and .h files for kernel modules so i can actually edit the file and build a custom module?

[07:46] <Vexiant> Hello, I'm running fluxbox on Ubuntu and I want to setup a VPN. How do I go about accessing the network manager? Picture of what I mean: http://www.kabatology.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/netwk-connect.png
[07:47] <theadmin> Vexiant: Well, that's a networkmanager window, so you're already in it, no?
[07:47] <jameslord> theadmin dude, you are right:)
[07:47] <Vexiant> No, I found a picture on the net
[07:48] <dw-> Vexiant: click the network thing then VPN Connections? :)
[07:48] <theadmin> Vexiant: Ah okay. Well, install the network manager, run nm-applet, and it will sit in your tray (you should have some sort of a panel, though)
[07:48] <jameslord> theadmin that line should not appeared in front of admin :(
[07:48] <Vexiant> dw-, I use fluxbox. It's not there
[07:48] <jameslord> theadmin how did you know this? how you read code of sudo?
[07:48] <Vexiant> theadmin, thanks. I'll try that
[07:48] <theadmin> jameslord: Correct. And please refrain from calling me "dude" in the future, I find that offensive. I know this just from, uh, playing around with all that stuff lol
[07:48] <phy1729> Fyodorovna: I think I found the problem, the GPU's fan isn't working
[07:49] <Fyodorovna> phy1729, cool. :)
[07:49] <dw-> clicking Places -> ftp site opens in Firefox, how do I change this (back) to nautilus?
[07:49] <phy1729> On to the next box
[07:49] <Vexiant> yo, theadmin, it works!
[07:49] <theadmin> Vexiant: grats.
[07:49] <Vexiant> but, their has gotta be some way where I don't need to leave terminal open XD
[07:49] <theadmin> Vexiant: Sure, just run nm-applet like this: nm-applet &disown
[07:50] <theadmin> Vexiant: And add it to your ~/.config/openbox/autostart
[07:50] <theadmin> Owait
[07:50] <theadmin> Fluxbox != openbox, never mind me
[07:50] <Vexiant> lol
[07:50] <Vexiant> ok
[07:50] <Vexiant> so don't do that?
[07:51] <jameslord> theadmin ok, dude:)
[07:51] <theadmin> Vexiant: Yeah I'm not sure where fb's autostart scripts are.
[07:51] <theadmin> jameslord: Told you not to call me that -_-
[07:51] <theadmin> Vexiant: But as for "nm-applet &disown", that will work
[07:51] <jameslord> theadmin sorry, dude:(
[07:52] <theadmin> *sigh*
[07:52] <Vexiant> I'm asking now, theadmin
[07:52] <Vexiant> on fluxbox's IRC
[07:52] <theadmin> Vexiant: Cool, good luck

[07:55] <ajin> dear lord, so many guys on #ubuntu
[07:55] <theadmin> dw-: For one, don't edit them manually, use gconf-editor. Secondly, I know no way other than logging out and back in
[07:55] <jameslord> theadmin what is the time now?

[07:57] <GhostWolf> does anyone know if theres a fix for the adobe flash player settings for webcams? theres a site i go to that allows broadcasting with webcam but whenever the popup for the flash player settings come up i can't select anything, i've googled this problem and found out several people have the same issues, some went back to 11.04 some didn't and said to use unuty 2d. does anyone know if this bug only happens from upgrading from
[07:57] <GhostWolf>  11.04?
[07:57] <jameslord> theadmin date seems not return a long integer:(
[07:57] <Vexiant> found it, theadmin
[07:57] <Vexiant> and set it up
[07:57] <Vexiant> thank you soo much, bro
[07:58] <theadmin> ...What is it with you all calling me "bro" and "dude" >.>
[07:58] <theadmin> jameslord: If you want Unix time, do: date +%s
[07:58] <pfifo> GhostWolf, goto global flash settings and allow it from that menu
[07:58] <Vexiant> I never called you dude :v
[07:58] <Vexiant> james did
[07:58] <GhostWolf> pfifo i was told on the some sites that doesn't work
[07:59] <Vexiant> anyhow
[07:59] <Vexiant> thanks
[07:59] <theadmin> Vexiant: jameslord did, yeah, I'm saying "you all" :D
[07:59] <eSoul> What ubuntu package should I install if I want to edit a .c and .h file of a kernel module so I can patch it and build my own version
[07:59] <GhostWolf> and plus pfifo i don't know how to get to the global flash settings
[08:00] <jameslord> Vexiant hi

[08:01] <insanefreedom> ./configure does not work i get the error ./configure: No such file or directory anybody know how to fix it?
[08:01] <phy1729> are you in the right directory?
[08:01] <insanefreedom> yes
[08:02] <eSoul> yeah, insanefreedom, that is way too broad, what are you even trying to run ./configure on, (what are you trying to install)
[08:02] <theadmin> insanefreedom: No configure script, likely, maybe there already is a Makefile?
[08:02] <phy1729> is the file there?
[08:02] <insanefreedom> i used the ls comand and a file called configure.ac is in there
[08:02] <eSoul> insanefreedom, not the same
[08:02] <phy1729> then run ./configure.ac ?
[08:02] <theadmin> insanefreedom: Run autoconf then

[08:03] <monser> hello all
[08:04] <monser> Could you please tell me how to set up the ip gateway dns servers and network mask manually without using network manager
[08:04] <monser> i guess I have to write that information in a file
[08:04] <monser> but I do not know where
[08:04] <phy1729> /etc/network
[08:04] <phy1729> that directory
[08:05] <GhostWolf> we got a spammer in here. his nick is abcsdgad and posting sex sites in pm just letting people know
[08:05] <llutz_> monser: /etc/network/interfaces
[08:05] <monser> its a bot
[08:05] <phy1729> GhostWolf: tell #freenode
[08:05] <phy1729> monser: /etc/network/interfaces
[08:05] <johnnycr> hey all... I still need some help getting my wireless usb adapter to work.  It says I'm connected to the network but I'm not getting any internet access
[08:05] <GhostWolf> why? he's in this room im not in freenode channel
[08:05] <GhostWolf> if there are mods in this chan they should take care of him if he's in herew
[08:05] <GhostWolf> -w
[08:06] <eSoul> monser, there is a specific way the info has to go in, let me get you the link  use when I need to do it myself
[08:06] <theadmin> GhostWolf: Ask in #ubuntu-ops
[08:06] <monser> ok thank you
[08:06] <GhostWolf> ok theadmin
[08:06] <eSoul> monser -- http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubuntu-networking-configuration-using-command-line.html
[08:06] <llutz_> monser: "man 5 interfaces" for syntax. also it's handy to install "resolvconf" and set dns in /etc/network/interfaces too
[08:07] <eSoul> monser -- and yes, if you scroll down you will see that DNS info goes in another file completely but it tells you how to set up both files on that page
[08:08] <monser> ok thank you
[08:09] <GhostWolf> can anyone help me with the adobe flash player problem? as i posted before, i go to a site that allows me to chat with friends and use a webcam, but with 11.10 the adobe flash player settings freeze, i found out alot of people have this problem some people ungraded back to 11.04. does anyone know if this is a bug only on the upgraded 11.10 or does it also happen on a fresh install?
[08:10] <theadmin> GhostWolf: This happens on multiple platforms including Windows actually, Adobe thing -_-
[08:10] <theadmin> GhostWolf: Try in Chrome (Chrome, not Chromium), it includes an up-to-date Flash build which seems to work
[08:10] <monser> and another silly question.I have a files in the Desktop folder/directory.HOwever I do not see them on the actual Desktop.How can I see them.I guess the workspaces are messed up in some way
[08:10] <dw-> sweet i added x-scheme-handler/ftp=nautilus-folder-handler.desktop to /etc/gnome/defaults.list now ftp opens in nautilus again.. woot
[08:10] <whqing> is anyone konw? why is hud not installing on my 12.04?
[08:10] <whqing> unity version is 5.4
[08:11] <GhostWolf> theadmin, no it doesn't happen on windows. it happens on only ubuntu 11.10 i've tried it on windows. it doesn't have issue with it. and people who revert back to 11.04 don't have the freezing issue
[08:11] <theadmin> !precise | whqing
[08:11] <GhostWolf> theadmin, as well it happens in all browsers in 11.10 not just firefox, tried it in chrome and same thing
[08:11] <dw-> "It seems to be due to gvfs-open handling files/extensions associations intead of gnome-open"
[08:11] <theadmin> GhostWolf: Used to happen to me... Hm... Not sure honestly, still, this channel can't really help with Flash, cause it's closed-source and hamster-based
[08:12] <whqing> thanks
[08:12] <theadmin> GhostWolf: Ask Adobe, if you can somehow
[08:12] <theadmin> GhostWolf: Or I dunno, try Gnash
[08:13] <GhostWolf> theadmin, well even tho its a flash issue, i think its an issue with 11.10 itself. thats why im asking here. alot of people that use ubuntu 11.10 have mention this issue when i googled the problem and several sites that have people posting in forums but no help
[08:14] <theadmin> GhostWolf: Hm, I dunno how can it be specific to Ubuntu if it happens in all browses
[08:14] <theadmin> GhostWolf: You can configure flash from system settings though, that should, more or less, work
[08:14] <GhostWolf> theadmin, if it happens in only 11.10 then its a ubuntu 11.10
[08:15] <GhostWolf> theadmin, as i told someone before but don't know how to access those settings or the global flash settings, someone did that and still had the same problem
[08:15] <theadmin> GhostWolf: Eh, but using those settings you can manually authorize the websites you need to access your cam and problem solved pretty much
[08:16] <theadmin> GhostWolf: Click the weird icon in the top right near your username, choose System Settings, find Adobe Flash Player there
[08:16] <insanefreedom> what do you do with the zip files you download at https://github.com/
[08:16] <GhostWolf> theadmin, yes but if the flash player settings freeze when it popsup you can't do nothing. as i came to the problem is the flash player settings freeze where you can't select allow and remember or anything
[08:17] <GhostWolf> theadmin, the adobe flash player doesn't show in the system settings for 11.10 it only shows 4 sections and not alot on each section
[08:17] <kernix> get 10.04.2 lts ive had no probs
[08:17] <theadmin> GhostWolf: hm okay, well, no idea honestly.
[08:19] <GhostWolf> theadmin, if you have 11.10 even if you don't have a webcam you can go to a site that uses webcam and see for yourself.
[08:19] <GhostWolf> see what the problem im talking about
[08:19] <Fyodorovna> GhostWolf, link us up.
[08:20] <theadmin> GhostWolf: I don't use Ubuntu, sorry. But, I had this problem on Windows and a few other distros too so I don't think it is Ubuntu-specific
[08:20] <GhostWolf> well the site i try using is called tinychat.com, its not a sex place its just a chat room that allows broadcasting of webcams, people don't need to use it
[08:21] <theadmin> GhostWolf: Ah, happened to me there too, hm.
[08:22] <GhostWolf> theadmin, well i never had this issue with windows. and i use windows xp, even tho i am pleased to say i can see if flash player reconizes my webcam cause i can tab to the webcam button and it shows a webcam instead of saying no webcam detected, but i just bought a new webcam today
[08:22] <Fyodorovna> Ghostwolf runs fine here 11.10 adobe updated
[08:23] <GhostWolf> Fyodorovna, hmm. i have issues, but did you upgrade 11.10 or did you run a fresh install of it?
[08:23] <monser> what is the broadcast address for in linux?
[08:23] <GhostWolf> and i have the latest version of adobe flash player too cause it says that i do at their site
[08:23] <Fyodorovna> GhostWolf, fresh install
[08:24] <insanefreedom> i just downloaded a .zip file from github how do i install it?
[08:24] <GhostWolf> Fyodorovna, ah well that is what i was wondering, i upgraded from 11.04. wonder if it was a bug when upgrading
[08:24] <lilVaratep> GOod night guys
[08:24] <minixvbox> !software | insanefreedom
[08:24] <theadmin> insanefreedom: If you don't know how, don't touch it, because you'll ruin your system in the meantime :/
[08:24] <Kaltiz> Hey, I booted a Native install of Ubuntu through a VM, however I can't boot the native Ubuntu anymore. It still works through the VM any ideas?
[08:25] <Fyodorovna> GhostWolf, I have noscript running thoughwith twitter and facebook blocked as a gueat it works, facebook is like big script land.
[08:26] <GhostWolf> Fyodorovna, thanks for saying it works for you and installed a fresh install of 11.10. i might have to do exactly that to test it, just hope my toolbar i use for firefox will work as same as now
[08:26] <GhostWolf> Fyodorovna, well i don't log in with my facebook login on that tinychat.com i been logging in under guest to test my webcam
[08:27] <Fyodorovna> GhostWolf, I think your getting to much script probably, install no scipt and block stuff not needd.
[08:27] <Fyodorovna> noscript*
[08:27] <monser> how can I determine what is the broadcast ip?
[08:27] <monser> is this the dhcp server ip
[08:27] <insanefreedom> ubottu: i have been to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingSoftware i have been up all day and night trying to build this source but it wont run i have tried to use monodevelop and codeblocks on some of the files in it but nothing works
[08:27] <monser> what is the broadcast ip for?
[08:27] <monser> why do one need it?
[08:28] <monser> isn't it the gateway and mask and ip enough for setting up static?
[08:28] <GhostWolf> Fyodorovna, well i use facebook. so i can't do that i play games on facebook, but never had a problem before with the flash player freezing. but im going to try to install a fresh 11.10. if there is a lts already i'll download that and install the lts til the lts of 12.04 comes out
[08:28] <insanefreedom> theadmin: i have been to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingSoftware i have been up all day and night trying to build this source but it wont run i have tried to use monodevelop and codeblocks on some of the files in it but nothing works
[08:29] <Fyodorovna> GhostWolf, when I looked at all the script running there is a lot besides the one I mentioned.
[08:29] <Fyodorovna> ones
[08:29] <GhostWolf> Fyodorovna, i have no idea about the script stuff sorry i just know i use facebook and can't stop using that as well
[08:30] <Fyodorovna> GhostWolf, you don't have to it is just code being run at you through flash.
[08:30] <zcily> hello  I have a question about mmu
[08:31] <zcily> what is the mmu
[08:31] <GhostWolf> Fyodorovna, so you saying i don't have to stop using facebook? to test this theory how do i do this scripting thing? and what stuff does it block exactly?
[08:31] <Fyodorovna> GhostWolf, and a whole bunch of it, install the FF plugin noscript then click on the icon you will see what I mean
[08:32] <GhostWolf> ok Fyodorovna where exactly do i download to install the ff plugin?
[08:33] <theadmin> insanefreedom: You're supposed to just read the instructions that always come with the package.
[08:33] <Fyodorovna> GhostWolf, FF tools-addons type noscript and install you will see a icon, and in the customize, of the toolbar witha right click are two other noscript icons as well.
[08:34] <GhostWolf> ok just sec Fyodorovna
[08:34] <insanefreedom> theadmin: i have read all the readme files and it is just saying that the source is licensed under gnu nothing about how to build it
[08:34] <Fyodorovna> GhostWolf, takes bit to understand how it works but is a great tool for blocking extra junk.
[08:35] <cheako> The libsdl-perl pkg is outdated on ubuntu+1, I got it from cpan and sid has it.
[08:35] <GhostWolf> Fyodorovna, when you say extra junk exactly what extra junk you talking about? just want to make sure
[08:36] <insanefreedom> theadmin: haha the source was bad on the developers side bad spacing and such:)
[08:38] <Fyodorovna> GhostWolf, I have all the google blocked always 4 different sets
[08:38] <Edico> hi
[08:39] <GhostWolf> Fyodorovna, ah well i just isntalled the noscript 2.3 or whatever and it still freezes on tinychat.com the flash player setting popup that is
[08:39] <Edico> where does it keep firefox the bookmarks file?
[08:39] <Fyodorovna> GhostWolf, you can okay it when you want. you can block the facebook and twitter and okay when you want as well, and the fbcdn
[08:39] <GhostWolf> Edico, normally it goes directly to your home of nautlius
[08:40] <GhostWolf> Fyodorovna, i just tested it, i still gotten the frozen setting as before
[08:40] <theadmin> Edico: ~/.mozilla/firefox/fqojr123.default/bookmarks.xml (where "fqojr123" is a random character sequene)
[08:40] <theadmin> +c
[08:40] <GhostWolf> im just going to try the fresh install see if that works. i really don't need that noscript
[08:40] <DeltaSaucer> Um...
[08:41] <DeltaSaucer> Why is the "restart" feature not in the menu, but hidden inside the dialogue box for when you choose "shut down"?
[08:41] <DeltaSaucer> That's a worse design decision than... than... Windows 8 Metro.
[08:41] <celthunder> DeltaSaucer: ?
[08:41] <DeltaSaucer> celthunder: Try to restart your Ubuntu machine.
[08:41] <DeltaSaucer> You have to know that it's hidden inside the "shut down" menu item.
[08:42] <celthunder> DeltaSaucer: shutdown -r now
[08:42] <DeltaSaucer> ...
[08:42] <DeltaSaucer> The MENU.
[08:42] <celthunder> using xmonad
[08:42] <DeltaSaucer> No idea what that is.
[08:42] <DeltaSaucer> I'm talking about Ubuntu.
[08:42] <Fyodorovna> GhostWolf, cool noscript is kinda hard to just figure out instantly, hope the fresh install works.
[08:42] <DeltaSaucer> As it comes when you install it.
[08:42] <celthunder> tile windo manager
[08:43] <celthunder> and im in arch at the moment
[08:43] <GhostWolf> Fyodorovna, well i'll let ya know, if it doesn't then well im going to reinstall 11.04 cause i never had a issue with that before
[08:43] <DeltaSaucer> Anyone wish to comment on this?
[08:43] <theadmin> DeltaSaucer: It's a sane decision in my opinion, but again, this channel is not for complaining, it's for support issues
[08:43] <celthunder> DeltaSaucer: join the dev/design team and change it then if it bothers you
[08:45] <DeltaSaucer> How is it a sane decision?
[08:46] <bkerensa> !guidelines | DeltaSaucer
[08:46] <theadmin> DeltaSaucer: Hey, it's better than what GNOME did (they have no shut down option in the menu AT ALL, you have to log out first, and then choose "Shut down" at the login screen)
[08:48] <DeltaSaucer> theadmin: :|
[08:48] <DeltaSaucer> Being slightly better than GNOME is not a grand accomplishment.
[08:48] <theadmin> DeltaSaucer: What's wrong with it anyway? If you want to reboot fast, just create a desktop shortcut or whatever.
[08:50] <DeltaSaucer> Everything is wrong with it. There is no reason the reboot option should not be in the drop-down menu.
[08:50] <DeltaSaucer> That's all I mean.
[08:50] <celthunder> theadmin: i think he is just too lazy to change to another ui but doesnt like whatever one hes in and wants to complain about it
[08:50] <theadmin> celthunder: yeah.
[08:50] <DeltaSaucer> "If you wanna fix it, you can change it on your own computer" is the typical "solution" which completely misses the entire point.
[08:51] <DeltaSaucer> OF COURSE I could fix it on my own computer.
[08:51] <DeltaSaucer> That doesn't change the fact that an ACTIVE CHOICE was made to make it this way, and I wanna know why it is like that.
[08:51] <theadmin> DeltaSaucer: Hey, nobody except you complains. And you know what? It's better this way. Screen space is damn important -_-
[08:51] <celthunder> DeltaSaucer: join the team that makes the decision on where to put it
[08:51] <DeltaSaucer> I don't wanna join any team. I just wanna know the answer to this particular question because it bothers me a lot.
[08:52] <celthunder> #<your ui> and ask
[08:53] <theadmin> DeltaSaucer: Nobody really knows what makes the Ubuntu team take this or that decision -- there aren't many developers around here and the main big guy, Shuttleworth... I don't know if he visits, but it's highly unlikely. It was him who took the "hey let's hide most of the tray icons" decision too
[08:53] <DeltaSaucer> =S
[08:53] <theadmin> celthunder: (s)he's using Unity, which is official for Ubuntu and doesn't have an own channel
[08:53] <DeltaSaucer> Yes. Default install of latest stable version.
[08:54] <celthunder> theadmin: hmm someone should make one then
[08:54] <head_victim> theadmin: #ubuntu-unity does exist though
[08:54] <theadmin> head_victim: Ah, pardon me then
[08:54] <celthunder> lol there we go
[08:54] <DeltaSaucer> By the way, it wanted to install 380 or so updates yesterday, which took forever (even after it was done downloading). What did it actually do during that time? Did it compile stuff, or did it just copy in pre-compiled binaries?
[08:54] <theadmin> DeltaSaucer: If you want, you can switch to Kubuntu, Xubuntu or Lubuntu which to most people make more sense than the standard Ubuntu setup
[08:55] <celthunder> DeltaSaucer: precompiled
[08:55] <vikjain> hi guys im using ubuntu 10 n wanted to upgrade to 11. but after goin for auto upgrade , most of the files were donwloaded but due to internet connectivity it got innterupted. How do i contine further download
[08:55] <DeltaSaucer> Hmm...
[08:55] <theadmin> DeltaSaucer: To install a package, you: 1) verify the package checksum, 2) check for file conflicts, 3) check if deps are installed, 4) run pre-install script, 5) unpack archives, 6) run post-install scripts, 7) delete temporary files
[08:56] <celthunder> vikjain: just rerun apt
[08:57] <celthunder> vikjain: it will resume with the last file assuming you have a cache
[08:57] <vikjain> sure @cellthunder
[08:57] <vikjain> thanks'
[08:58] <Kaltiz> Hey, I booted a Native install of Ubuntu through a VM, however I can't boot the native Ubuntu anymore. It still works through the VM any ideas?
[08:59] <celthunder> uh where does it stop booting
[08:59] <Kaltiz> It goes into some weird recovery boot mode
[08:59] <Kaltiz> Umm
[09:00] <Kaltiz> Possibly because the change of hardware
[09:00] <Kaltiz> I get to the grub menu
[09:00] <celthunder> initramfs?
[09:00] <Kaltiz> and click to boot the ubuntu 11.10 and some text shows up.
[09:00] <vikjain> @cellthunder it started downloading all files again
[09:00] <vikjain> :(
[09:01] <Kaltiz> (Really new to ubuntu I could go jump on another comp and boot into and tell you brb
[09:01] <zgr> hey guys is it possible to get firefox with overlay scrollbars in 11.10? I know in chromium it's not useful because of search hilighting, but why not in Fx?
[09:01] <celthunder> vikjain: sec
[09:02] <Kaltiz> If My memory s correct
[09:02] <Kaltiz> It gets to determining the battery percentage?
[09:04] <celthunder> Kaltiz: ?
[09:04] <Kaltiz> ?
[09:04] <Kaltiz> Brb Ill boot into it again
[09:04] <celthunder> vikjain: did you close the update and let it clear the cache earlier
[09:05] <celthunder> wb
[09:05] <vikjain> I din clear cache. when it was aborted earlier it said all files are presvered safely, @cellthunder
[09:05] <Kaltiz> (On my other comp :L)
[09:06] <vikjain> how i ran update i clicked System > adminstration > update manager > then get ubuntu 11 @cellthunder
[09:06] <Kaltiz> It get to the ubuntu logo then changes to
[09:07] <Kaltiz> fsck from util-linux 2.19.1
[09:07] <swiffy> i want write a shellscript to disable my touchpad, does anyone know how to disable a file in /dev/input?
[09:09] <celthunder> swiffy: theres a text file you can edit to stop your touchpad
[09:10] <celthunder> Kaltiz: ok did the fsck fail
[09:10] <Kaltiz> Well it appears to just sit here, not sure if it is done or not
[09:10] <Kaltiz> last time nothing failed, this time there is some fails
[09:10] <swiffy> celthunder: did you mean the xorg.conf? i didn't found the command to disable a device and if possible i want do it dynamicly
[09:11] <Kaltiz> Stopping automatic crash report generation failed
[09:11] <Kaltiz> starting LightDM display manager
[09:11] <celthunder> swiffy: not the file i meant sec
[09:12] <celthunder> Kaltiz: and does going to vt 6 or 7 show your dm
[09:12] <Kaltiz> Sorry I don't understand.
[09:13] <celthunder> swiffy: /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf
[09:13] <celthunder> or something like that
[09:14] <celthunder> Kaltiz: ctrl alt f7
[09:14] <celthunder> do you see your display manager
[09:14] <Kaltiz> No
[09:14] <swiffy> celthunder: well yeah thats another xorg.configuration file, wich command i must add there to disable it? cant find it anywhere
[09:15] <celthunder> set all the options to no
[09:15] <monser> it looks like the broadcast address and network address are not necessary in /etc/network/interfaces Am I right?
[09:15] <celthunder> see how well it works
[09:15] <swiffy> haha ok
[09:16] <celthunder> monser: network is broadcast is implied unless otherwise stated
[09:16] <monser> if I put # in that file the line started with # will be ignored, right?
[09:16] <LinSkyrate> in iP6, how many 10.x.x.x.x.x? and subnet 255.x.x.x.x?
[09:17] <monser> what is the broadcast address for?
[09:17] <celthunder> LinSkyrate: what the hell you arent in ipv6 if your address looks like that
[09:17] <monser> can you please explain a bit?
[09:17] <celthunder> monser: sending to all ips in a subnet
[09:17] <monser> i see
[09:17] <LinSkyrate> celthunder, enlight me please
[09:17] <celthunder> like a subnet wide broadcast
[09:17] <monser> well I do not need that
[09:17] <monser> how to disable
[09:18] <celthunder> monser: you dont? disable it in your switch or router
[09:18] <celthunder> where you should
[09:19] <monser> I get a public ip and I do not use router
[09:19] <celthunder> LinSkyrate: uhm there are no .s in ip6 there is no 255.255 etc that ipv4
[09:19] <monser> public static ip
[09:19] <celthunder> monser: do you have a 255.255.255.255 netmask
[09:19] <monser> no
[09:19] <celthunder> hmm
[09:19] <LinSkyrate> celthunder, hmm,, i have to google that.. seems like i missed out something here
[09:20] <monser> my mask is 255.255.255.232
[09:20] <celthunder> LinSkyrate: it uses : and / forms of network mask which can be translated but really why would you
[09:21] <Name141> Does anyone know why I have to go in to tty1 (Ctrl + alt + F1) to use my KVM switches hotlink (scroll lock + scroll lock) to trigger the KVM switch to cycle computers instead of just being able to do it in the GUI ?
[09:21] <celthunder> monser: disable anything incoming on the broadcast ip in your firewall then
[09:22] <monser> I have no knowledge and experience with ip tables at all
[09:22] <monser> i do nto want to broadcast to all ips
[09:22] <monser> in the subnet
[09:22] <celthunder> you dont
[09:22] <celthunder> or shouldnt
[09:22] <monser> I still do not understand that broadcast address
[09:23] <monser> I need to read for it
[09:23] <Kaltiz> Celthunder could it be something to do with  /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:23] <monser> I tried to search for some article explaining but the results were not very acurate
[09:23] <celthunder> Kaltiz: do you even have one and start in init 3 or whatever ubuntu calls it
[09:23] <monser> in windows there is no broadcast value
[09:23] <celthunder> start with that
[09:24] <celthunder> monser: yes there is
[09:24] <celthunder> it sets it for you
[09:24] <monser> what is it?
[09:24] <monser> wins ?
[09:24] <celthunder> ipconfig /all
[09:24] <monser> and ?
[09:24] <monser> there is only gateway , mask mac ip
[09:24] <shin1> What
[09:24] <monser> no broadcast
[09:26] <shin1>  /list
[09:26] <shin1> #list
[09:26] <celthunder> monser: dont worry about it
[09:26] <celthunder> its basically useless unless you are in a corporate environment with way too much time and boredem
[09:27] <celthunder> but yes windows should still have a broadcast....
[09:27] <monser> I wanna know to accumulate more wisdom :D
[09:27] <monser> i'll search for it
[09:28] <monser> can you tell me how the desktop and virtual destops work?
[09:28] <celthunder> monser: todd lankin ccna books are a good starting point
[09:28] <celthunder> what about them
[09:28] <monser> the real desktop is not shown on any of the virtual desktop (workspaces)
[09:29] <monser> those books are for very advanced users
[09:29] <celthunder> depends
[09:29] <monser> how to make my real desktop to be shown anywhere?
[09:29] <celthunder> no they arent im not advanced.  anyway uhm which window manager
[09:30] <monser> i do not know
[09:30] <monser> how to find out?
[09:30] <celthunder> uh which did you install?
[09:30] <nachos> can i run ELF programs on ubuntu
[09:32] <monser> I use xfce gui
[09:32] <celthunder> monser: im in xmonad and i get my desktop just fine
[09:32] <celthunder> no idea
[09:32] <monser> how to find out which windows manager i use?
[09:33] <psycho_oreos> nachos, as long as the kernel supports it (which I'm sure it should) yes in general
[09:33] <nachos> im trying to run a ELF program
[09:33] <nachos> it just does nothing, litterly, i just get back to the terminal
[09:33] <nachos> eg,
[09:33] <celthunder> probably whichever xfce uses xfwm
[09:33] <nachos> nachos$ ./wxhexedit
[09:33] <nachos> nachos$
[09:34] <nachos> and nothing comes up
[09:34] <celthunder> i think is default
[09:34] <celthunder> nachos: does it work in anything else
[09:34] <Kaltiz> When I push Ctrl+alt f7 it takes me to the fsck
[09:34] <nachos> no, but im trying another tarball
[09:35] <celthunder> Kaltiz: uhm boot to init 1 if you can or whatever ubuntu calls it
[09:37] <Kaltiz> Failed on will not switch to single user mode
[09:37] <Kaltiz> now*
[09:38] <celthunder> uh lol ok
[09:39] <celthunder> can you get to any of the terminals
[09:39] <celthunder> or are they all just doing fsck
[09:39] <nachos> hm, wxhexedit wants glibc 2.14, i have 2.13
[09:40] <Kaltiz> By terminals you mean Ctrl + alt f(1-6) ?
[09:40] <sulit> oh,yeah
[09:41] <Kaltiz> Also
[09:41] <celthunder> Kaltiz: yes
[09:41] <Kaltiz> DisplayDM is no longer failing
[09:41] <sulit> if you do this ,you will leave from gui
[09:41] <Kaltiz> it is just automatic crash report generation
[09:41] <z0TK> is anyone online familiar with IOMMU mode? my network says its working when my bios is set to it but everything is unreachable and when i am not i get "Out of IOMMU space" and no network after 20 or so minutes
[09:42] <sulit> but  that is effective
[09:42] <celthunder> sulit: huh?
[09:42] <_johnny> hi, i have a (broken version of) ubuntu box with display output. after a apt-get revert gone awry, i'm left with no gnome and no nvidia driver for my gfx. short of installing the OS again, can anyone give me some pointers on how to get the nvidia kernel driver loaded and startx ( right?) or gnome started? [from cmdline] :)
[09:43] <L3top> sudo apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-(whichever)
[09:43] <celthunder> johnny apt get itstall nvidia then startx
[09:44] <celthunder> or  /etc/init.d/gdm
[09:44] <xzuhto> I can't figure out what is wrong with my install. I just did a fresh one with 11.10 and did gnome-session-fallback and started running classic, but everything displays as if I have no graphics drivers.
[09:44] <mi3> Hi guys can someone suggest me which server is good for downloading updates? I tried the select best server but it is not showing any results
[09:44] <xzuhto> However if I run gnome shell everything looks great
[09:44] <celthunder> mi3: depends where you live your network etc
[09:45] <sulit> celthunder: if you down the ctrl+alt+(1-6),you will enter the real  terminals  ,it's very effective.
[09:45] <celthunder> sulit: yeah i know
[09:45] <mi3> celthunder can you tell me which download server do you use?
[09:46] <celthunder> mi3: no i dont use ubuntu
[09:46] <mi3> then how do you download updates?
[09:47] <celthunder> mi3: i dont use ubuntu i still update but the server wont help you much
[09:47] <Kaltiz> @celthunder, I think it is a problem with my gpu
[09:47] <_johnny> celthunder: thanks, i'm trying. i've installed the libvdpau1  + nvidia-libvdpau (and now nvidia). here's my output when i try to startx: http://paste.blurk.org/raw/cejokohewe
[09:47] <Kaltiz> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1930546
[09:47] <_johnny> do i have to compile the driver myself?
[09:47] <mi3> Can someone suggest me which server is good for downloading updates? I tried the select best server but it is not showing any results
[09:48] <celthunder> johnny modprobe nvidia
[09:48] <celthunder> mi3: use kernel.org
[09:48] <celthunder> its fairly universally ok
[09:48] <_johnny> celthunder: if you look a bit further down the link, there's the output from modprobing. it claims i don't have it, and i can't phantom why
[09:49] <mi3> I use ubuntu celthunder will i get ubuntu updates on that server?
[09:49] <L3top> _johnny: lspci | grep VGA
[09:49] <xzuhto> Any ideas as to my graphical issue?
[09:49] <celthunder> johnny oh sorry  what module do you have loaded
[09:49] <ssta> mi3: try https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors (look for the indian mirrors, there are 4 or 5)
[09:49] <Orsb> Hi, I have an app. 200 GB file system with 40 GB on it. However, I have received a warning that too little space is available on my system. I guess it is something to do with my partitions but I need expert assistance.

[09:50] <xzuhto> 0rsb, how is your system partitioned?
[09:50] <mi3> ssta these indian servers are a little slow give me some other server
[09:50] <ssta> mi3: there are hundreds of servers on that page, try a few
[09:50] <L3top> apt-cache policy nvidia-glx-260
[09:50] <L3top> do you have an available candidate?
[09:51] <ssta> mi3: what server YOU will get the best performance from isn't something I can predict.  It's related to all sorts of stuff I just don't know like your exact location, the exact topology of the part of the internet where you are, etc

[09:57] <celthunder> osrb well you can....
[09:57] <almoxarife> cancer: do you see a backend?
[09:57] <L3top> _johnny: can I see your sources.list?
[09:57] <xzuhto> 0rsb You're going to have to either edit your partitions using something like gparted, or reinstall and give yourself more space than 5.5gb on root
[09:57] <KM0201> !karmic
[09:57] <KM0201> little old to try and be fixing..
[09:58] <cancer> almoxarife: yes
[09:58] <Orsb> xzuhto: I have 143 GB free in home, aren't I
[09:58] <_johnny> L3top: http://paste.blurk.org/raw/japanarupo
[09:58] <almoxarife> cancer: which?
[09:58] <cancer> almoxarife: phonon - KDE Control Module
[09:58] <celthunder> osrb clear your caches and logs from /var should free up your /
[09:59] <L3top> Well those are right...
[09:59] <cancer> almoxarife: will you please tell me command for some chat client too, coz i am using rekonq.
[09:59] <Orsb> celthunder: how do I do that? Is there a command to use?
[10:00] <L3top> Ok _johnny... good luck. What you gonna upgrade to?
[10:00] <almoxarife> cancer: change tab to 'devicepreference'
[10:01] <_johnny> L3top: 10.1 i think, but might go latest. i'll keep at it, try a few more things when i get back in a few hours, but yeah, reinstall it probably is :) thanks again for your help
[10:01] <xzuhto> So, if I have gnome shell displaying properly, why would gnome classic act like I have no GPU drivers?
[10:01] <almoxarife> cancer: on the rght side does it show anything?
[10:01] <L3top> I would recommend sticking with LTS releases
[10:02] <L3top> either the new or 1004...
[10:02] <KM0201> L3top: depends... LTS really is only good when you have to maintain multiple machines.. most home users, get no real benefit from LTS
[10:02] <_johnny> youre probably right :)
[10:02] <L3top> Except that he would have a repo :P
[10:02] <L3top> lol
[10:02] <_johnny> indeed
[10:02] <_johnny> hehe
[10:02] <KM0201> L3top: well, thats another issue...
[10:02] <KM0201> that has nothing to do w/ LTS
[10:03] <bosongg> what is the new name for gconf-editor ?
[10:03] <cancer_> almoxarife:
[10:03] <KM0201> LTS repos close eventually to.
[10:03] <L3top> yes
[10:03] <cancer_> almoxarife: sorry os hanged. please continure
[10:03] <KM0201> L3top: this is more a PEBKAC issue, than an LTS vs Non-LTS issue....
[10:03] <KM0201> _johnny: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades/Karmic
[10:04] <_johnny> KM0201: thanks

[10:06] <isaac_> Wow
[10:06] <isaac_> anyone have an easy way to download Java on Linux?
[10:06] <KM0201> isaac_: the repositories?
[10:06] <isaac_> whats that
[10:06] <icehunter> Hello there
[10:07] <isaac_> I have had linux for a week
[10:07] <KM0201> synaptic
[10:07] <oCean> !software | isaac_
[10:07] <Pikkachu> is there a simple way to package a source code?
[10:07] <simonsky> isaac_: http://www.java.com/en/download/help/linux_install.xml
[10:07] <oCean> Pikkachu: package?
[10:09] <icehunter> I've googled now for around an hour... Can u please tell me, how do i copy MULTIPLE directories (with files) from one place to another directory, not touching plain files in the first place
[10:09] <L3top> Pikkachu: create a debian package?
[10:09] <bosongg> what is the new name for gconf-editor ?
[10:09] <L3top> icehunter, are they all under a main directory?
[10:10] <icehunter> mm
[10:10] <L3top> you can cp -r /path/to/dir /path/to/destination
[10:10] <_johnny> L3top: i solved it! i'm such a fool. i had forgotten to add the key for the old karmic repo (d'oh..) :$
[10:10] <L3top> but you might look at rsync
[10:10] <_johnny> will probably still upgrade though ;)
[10:10] <KM0201> icehunter: assuming these aren't directories protected by root... cp -r /path to/ /path/to/... nevermind, i see L3top beat me
[10:11] <Orsb> xzuhto: Do I need to get some additional space from sda8 to sda6?
[10:11] <KM0201> _johnny: you should.. :)
[10:11] <bosongg> i want to put icons on my desktop i ran a tool b4 but cant remember its name. it let me edit the gnome database.
[10:11] <_johnny> ;)
[10:11]  * icehunter gone to read cp man
[10:11] <L3top> especially if it is something you want to do often icehunter... rsync can do lots of tricks, including incremental transfers etc...
[10:12] <icehunter> didn't help. like myfolder/somefolder/manyfiles and folders. i need to copy ONLY folders from there, assuming i don't know their names
[10:12] <icehunter> rsinc
[10:13] <icehunter> *y
[10:13] <KM0201> icehunter: so you want to copy the folders, but not the data in them?
[10:13] <L3top> cp -r /myfolder/somefolder/* /path/someplace
[10:13] <lolcat^> Hello
[10:13] <simonsky> is anyone using an alternative to the gnome network manager?
[10:13] <isaac_> Hey anyone here savy with the terminal
[10:13] <lolcat^> What wiki does ubuntu use?
[10:13] <lolcat^> simonsky: ceni
[10:14] <isaac_> anyone?
[10:14] <L3top> OH... only folders, not their contents... unless they are also folders icehunter?
[10:14] <L3top> tree?
[10:14] <isaac_> I need help
[10:14] <nothingspecial> isaac_, probably what's your question
[10:14] <icehunter> no
[10:14] <icehunter> Look
[10:15] <icehunter> i've got a folder
[10:15] <L3top> yes...
[10:15] <icehunter> it has got folder AND files in it
[10:15] <L3top> yes
[10:15] <icehunter> folders in there also got some files
[10:15] <llutz_> !enter | icehunter
[10:15] <bosongg> ok i installed gconf-editor,  now how do i place icons on the desktop such as waste
[10:16] <icehunter> sorry
[10:16] <KM0201> does unity allow desktop icons?
[10:16] <isaac_> nothingspecial, I queried you
[10:16] <xzuhto> Gnome classic is acting like I have no gpu drivers. While gnome shell is running just fine. Any one have any ideas?
[10:16] <L3top> !pm | isaac_
[10:17] <bosongg> apps->nautilus->desktop is missing
[10:17] <icehunter> I've got a folder, that contains Folders(with files within) AND Files. i need to copy only folders(with files within) from there, not touching plain files,
[10:17] <isaac_> sorry
[10:17] <nothingspecial> no problem
[10:17] <L3top> I see...
[10:18] <isaac_> nothingspecial, it says authentication failure
[10:18] <oCean> icehunter: you have to use 'find' in combination with the 'cp' command, let me show you
[10:18] <isaac_> is it my PC password?
[10:18] <isaac_> thats what im doing and it says that
[10:18] <nothingspecial> are you sure your password is correct
[10:18] <isaac_> yes
[10:18] <isaac_> its how I log in
[10:18] <isaac_> with the caps and all
[10:18] <tanath> can anyone help me troubleshoot mencoder? http://pastebin.com/2Y0kd60j
[10:18] <icehunter> oCean: ok, thanks
[10:19] <nothingspecial> isaac_, your password is incorrect
[10:19] <isaac_> it says su: authentication failure
[10:19] <KM0201> why are you using su?
[10:19] <codemaniac> hi
[10:19] <tanath> oops, nvm
[10:19] <nothingspecial> isaac_, why do you need to su
[10:19] <bosongg> when i run gconf-editor apps->nautilus->desktop is missing
[10:20] <isaac_> http://www.java.com/en/download/help/linux_x64_install.xml#install
[10:20] <isaac_> thats the instructions for Java nothingspecial its telling me to do so
[10:20] <Kaltiz> Any ideas on how to install the ati gpu drivers in ubuntu?
[10:20] <Kaltiz> :O it booted
[10:21] <oCean> icehunter: this should help you out I think: http://paste.ubuntu.com/868023/
[10:21] <wylde> isaac_:  su will only work if you've set a pasword for root, the default for Ubuntu is root having no password, so root can't be used to login. You should be using sudo.
[10:21] <nothingspecial> can't you just use the java in  the repositories isaac_ ?
[10:21] <isaac_> heh?
[10:22] <isaac_> repositories?
[10:22] <dr_willis> !java
[10:22] <oCean> icehunter: see, the find command results in only finding directories, that result is used by the cp command.

[10:25] <jack> anyone experienced with "iodine"?
[10:25] <KM0201> it burns when you put it in an infected cut... :)
[10:26] <bosongg> when i run gconf-editor apps->nautilus->desktop is missing
[10:26] <L3top> icehunter: try this from the directory with all the subdirs: cp -r `ls -d -- */` /path/to/dest
[10:26] <KM0201> bosongg: are you using 11.10?
[10:26] <L3top> those are backticks if you are typing them... not single quote
[10:27] <dr_willis> bosongg:  that 'myunity' tweaking tool has desktop icon options
[10:27] <L3top> under esc key. with tilde(~) is the backtick `
[10:27] <oCean> L3top: he needs to use the find+cp command
[10:27] <L3top> that will work.
[10:27] <L3top> ls -d -- */
[10:27] <jack> anyone experienced with "iodine"?
[10:28] <L3top> will display all dirs only in given location
[10:28] <oCean> jack: just go ahead and ask your real question

[10:32] <freezer> the module seems to be present, i guess i need to load it into the ramdisk/during bootup?

[11:01] <airtonix> inaayat: normally just go to google chrome website and download it?
[11:01] <cclove> oh. sorry , it is the firs time i using IRC, so ,, i will be careful next time
[11:02] <inaayat> Yeah i know but if i download it en then i go to ubuntu software store and install it but i dont know where the file is,
[11:02] <almoxarife> airtonix: its not avail from repos?
[11:02] <klmmlk> inaayat, sudo aptitude install chrome ?
[11:02] <airtonix> inaayat: why would you look for a file?
[11:02] <cipher__> oCean, why did you ban him?
[11:02] <inaayat> Uhmm klmmlk
[11:02] <inaayat> i dont know... :(
[11:02] <airtonix> almoxarife: klmmlk, obviously inaayat wants the latest version of google chrome (and not chromium)
[11:02] <inaayat> Cause Lunix is really hard,
[11:02] <airtonix> inaayat: not really.
[11:02] <almoxarife> airtonix: its not avail from repos?
[11:02] <llutz_> inaayat: that thing is called "linux"
[11:02] <airtonix> almoxarife: google chrome is not available from standard repos
[11:03] <inaayat> oh sorry
[11:03] <oCean> cipher__: I think that would be obvious, if you wish to discuss channel rules, /join #ubuntu-ops for that
[11:03] <inaayat> linux :)
[11:03] <cipher__> will do
[11:03] <inaayat> But i really want google chrome on ¨Linux¨
[11:03] <airtonix> inaayat: onec you have it installed, just press the Meta key (aka the Super key (aka the Windows Key))) and type : chrome
[11:04] <airtonix> inaayat: however if you are on xubuntu, then it should be in your application menu
[11:04] <inaayat> airtonix....  i sad 2 you : Linux is really hard i dont know where are you talking about,
[11:04] <llutz_> inaayat: google has an own repo holding google-chrome, add it
[11:04] <klmmlk> inaayat, go here: http://www.google.co.jp/chrome?platform=linux&hl=fr
[11:04] <inaayat> i will go
[11:04] <klmmlk> or in english: http://www.google.co.jp/chrome?platform=linux&hl=en
[11:04] <airtonix> inaayat: oh ok, if you don't understand what i;ve been talking about then i'm afraid you're not going to find using windows very easy then.
[11:04] <inaayat> wait 1 min

[11:05] <inaayat> i will click  : Download now,

[11:05] <klmmlk> and when asking format, select .deb and for the good arch youre isung (64 or 32)
[11:05] <inaayat> noo
[11:05] <inaayat> i had 32
 Yeah i know but if i download it en then i go to ubuntu software store and install it but i dont know where the file is,
[11:06] <nachos> are they removing unity or what in the next release
[11:06] <airtonix> inaayat: were you lying to me when you said that ?
[11:06] <inaayat> Do i have to open it or save ?
[11:06] <pythonsnake> why ubuntu.com not ubuntu.org?
[11:06] <Bill_MI> Hi folks.  Anyone successful with BTLive on 10.04?
[11:06] <inaayat> HEY ! DO I HAVE TO OPEN OR SAVE ?!?!?
[11:07] <airtonix> Bill_MI: Backtrack is not supported here.
[11:07] <Bill_MI> airtonix, Bittorrent Live
[11:07] <airtonix> inaayat: it's not obvious? you can't run something you don't have open.
[11:07] <klmmlk> inaayat, how install something without downloading it ??? are you sure you know some basics about computers ?
[11:07] <airtonix> i mean saved

[11:21] <SDX> Does anyone here know of a way to get fglrx to work with kernel 3.2.9?
[11:21] <jack> it's understandable at least
[11:22] <zgr> can anyone name gtk2 app that is still used in 11.10?
[11:23]  * SuperEngineer wonders why people "shout" so much on here atm....  rule 1/ turn off caps-lock
[11:23] <jack> zgr: transmission
[11:23] <jack> that torrent thing
[11:23] <uralmov> so, my SMART data (?) just popped up telling me "Disk Failure Imminent"
[11:23] <uralmov> what does this mean
[11:24] <zgr> jack: thank you
[11:24] <SDX> I would guess it means there's something wrong with your harddrive.
[11:24] <jack> zgr: i'm sure there are lots more
[11:25] <jack> but transmission is well-known enough
[11:25] <uralmov> but, shouldnt there be some sort of... symptoms?
[11:25] <SDX> Is it seated properly, getting enough air, and all that?
[11:25] <oCean> uralmov: what SDX said, and it's time to start making backups, if you don't have those
[11:25] <uralmov> I have nothing to backup
[11:25] <uralmov> its just a netbook
[11:25] <uralmov> nothing saved on it
[11:25] <SDX> The whole point of a warning is to alert the user before the symptoms.
[11:25] <uralmov> oh
[11:25] <joebodo> uralmov: it means a certain percentage of your harddrive has become unusable
[11:26] <uralmov> that makes sense
[11:26] <uralmov> but, how long does it likely have?
[11:26] <oCean> uralmov: http://askubuntu.com/questions/20180/hard-disk-failure-error-on-smart-status-how-can-i-fix-it
[11:26] <joebodo> uralmov: i'd say it's imminent
[11:26] <jack> some people would call that warning a symptom :p
[11:26] <Inaayat99> Can you install : Hypercam on linux ?
[11:27] <uralmov> thats shitty :(
[11:27] <joebodo> uralmov: i'd rather get a warning than a disk failure
[11:27] <jack> uralmov: be glad you have SMART at all :P
[11:27] <uralmov> true enough
[11:28] <uralmov> I have a feeling it might just have been that I was running out of space
[11:28] <Inaayat99> bye everone !
[11:28] <Inaayat99> everyone*

[11:29] <icehunter> oCean: Hello again. I read mans to all commands u used in that script, didn't help( Now i've got two questions: 1) How do i make new directory named by current date? 2) fully copied your script, why does it tell me, that "find: missing argument to `-exec'"?
[11:30] <joebodo> uralmov: it gives you that warning because it has found areas of the drive that are unwriteable - after a certain % of your disk is unwritable, you will start getting warnings
[11:30] <SDX> I wish AMD would update their driver now and then.
[11:30] <FCBarca> hi all
[11:30] <SDX> Hello.
[11:30] <FCBarca> amd driver sux
[11:30] <FCBarca> on linux =(
[11:30] <nachos> what's the name of the gnome window manager
[11:30] <nachos> compiz
[11:31] <zgr> FCBarca: not for R600 on Gallium
[11:32] <SDX> FCBarca: It's almost incompatible with kernel 3.2.9.  (>_>)
[11:33] <oCean> icehunter: to create a directory with today's date, use something like   mkdir backup-$(date +%d-%m-%Y)   See the date manual for more options
[11:33] <FCBarca> i have a 4650 hd mobility
[11:33] <FCBarca> and with the free driver, i have always ma gpu fan at 80%
[11:33] <atubuntu> why is firefox eating so much cpu with its plugin container?
[11:34] <FCBarca> always using proprio driver that sux on gnome 3
[11:34] <oCean> icehunter: the "missing argument to exec" is probably due to incomplete command. You'll need the entire line:     find test1/ -mindepth 1 -type d -exec ls -ald {} \;    Including the {} \;
[11:35] <icehunter> uups, missed "\"
[11:35] <icehunter> thank u

[11:47] <oCean> tata: there is #lubuntu channel for specific Lubuntu support
[11:49] <Jordan_U> win7bittin: Wubi works as well in Windows 7 as it does in other versions of Windows. I would still generally recommend a normal dual boot install though.
[11:49] <win7bittin> okay

[12:05] <Aster> Nvm, ctrl+alt+D
[12:12] <kwtm> I tried installing via bootable USB drive, created with Unetbootin.  It gave an error that, on closer exam, was due to no space left on device.  Looks like the root directory was mounted on the devicve "aufs" with 32Meg (not Gig) of space, and now it was 100% full.  My question: what is this aufs device, and why is it so small?  (It doesn't correspond to the free space on the USB drive, which has 1.1Gig free)
[12:15] <bittin> yay Purplebuntu =)
[12:20] <user82> hi. is there a possibility to compare a /dev/... to "00"? i wiped the whole drive from /dev/zero and want to check if it worked allright

[12:32] <calico> is it possible (for a noob) to export all xfce settings?
[12:33] <Companion> calico, every thing is possible, be one with *unix and the universe :)
[12:33] <Companion> calico, there are allot of tutorials for it

[12:34] <Companion> calico, I asume you want to export all xfce configurations right?
[12:34] <Companion> calico, multiple users or single user? ;o
[12:34] <calico> single
[12:34] <Dioxin> Companion try www.raspberry.org instead
[12:36] <Companion> Dioxin, I know ;p
[12:36] <Companion> calico, dunno if this still works but its worth trying: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=290461
[12:37] <Companion> calico, this works also for: gnome/kde/LXDE
[12:38] <Companion> calico, for some reason I beleave your question is still bit confusing so what do you 'exactly' want to do?
[12:39] <calico> Companion, i'm concerned with all i've done from settings manager, just that
[12:39] <Companion> calico, so you want to /b/ack it up? :)
[12:39] <jimmy____> !wireless
[12:40] <calico> Companion, well, i want to be able to use the same settings on other installations / different distro

[12:40] <Siegel-> oCean: thanks
[12:40] <calico> thank you Companion
[12:41] <Companion> calico, when doing that I usually RSYNC my /home directory to my other computer
[12:41] <calico> how's that done :)
[12:41] <Companion> calico, even funyer shit is my /home is on a 15TB NAS
[12:41] <oCean> Companion: mind your language here

[12:43] <Companion> ?
[12:44] <Siegel-> my card model is BCM4318. its supporter by the b43 package. i followed the installation directions and terminal said it was already the newest version, thus nothing was installed. still the wifi icon on my keyboard is turned off. i go to additional drivers and it wont allow me to enable propieraty drivers
[12:47] <Siegel-> does anyone know what the problem could be?
[12:49] <Dioxin> have you used dmesg to search for wlan devices?
[12:50] <Dioxin> to see if the hardware inititated?
[12:50] <Siegel-> i dont know how to do that
[12:50] <oCean> Siegel-: if you're using 12.04, then you should not be asking here. Crossposting is not very polite either
[12:50] <Siegel-> i thought knowledge of other versions couldhelp
[12:51] <Dioxin> Siefel: dmesg | grep wlan
[12:51] <davix> hey I have managed to ruin my desktop and login screen, what packages should i install in order to recover it? (getting some weird login script which takes me nowhere right now)

[13:03] <quietone> what is an RT and how do I file one?
[13:03] <lechevalier> i use xfce4
[13:03] <WildWalker> okay, so I can get the screen to go off after a couple of minutes, but then after say 10 mins the screen saver comes on
[13:04] <WildWalker> if I disable the screen saver, the screen wont go off
[13:04] <nachos> anyone getting artifacting in vmware?
[13:04] <nachos> ( unbuntu guest )
[13:04] <lechevalier> I use lubuntu with xfce4
[13:05] <WildWalker> okay, so I can get the screen to go off after a couple of minutes, but then after say 10 mins the screen saver comes on, if I disable the screen saver, the screen wont go off
[13:06] <northernen> How can I change the icon of an application on my Unity sidebar? I've created a launcher for the application, and thought it would use some sort of icon native to the application, but it shows just a question mark.

[13:09] <cyoz> have you looked in the config.ini.php?
[13:09] <quietone> I've been asked to file an RT instead of a bug report. What is it? How do I do that?
[13:10] <Siegel-> oCean: sorry to bother you. i decided to reinstall 11.10 and wait for the next official release. that should solve most of my problems i suppose.
[13:10] <minixvbox> quietone: rt? what was your problem?
[13:11] <WildWalker> Can anyone please help me with a power management issue on Ubuntu 11 and Xfce 4.8?
[13:11] <quietone> I was advised to submit a bug report and did so. The response is "Please file an RT instead of a bug as this is an issue that will need to be taken care of by IS."
[13:12] <onats> hi guys, on ubuntu 10.04, can i just plug in a sata hard drive? will it be detected or will it cause issues?
[13:12] <minixvbox> quietone: what is IS?
[13:12] <quietone>  I have no idea
[13:13] <minixvbox> quietone: do you have a link to the bug report?
[13:13] <alex_233> hi
[13:13] <wylde> onats: Ubuntu should see it, but you'll have to configure it in /etc/fstab to mount at boot
[13:14] <quietone> https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/945983
[13:16] <minixvbox> quietone: odd, i have no idea what it means. you obviously have an account to port the bug so why not respond by asking him to explain rt and is
[13:18] <quietone> minixvbox, agreed. I just thought I'd ask here first.
[13:18] <bosong> im on 11.10 . when i run configuration editor there is no apps->nautilus->desktop

[13:45] <SwedeMike> schmakk: boot from usb live image, dd the contents of the old drive to the new drive, replace old drive, boot off of it, then you can create new partitions of something.

[13:54] <dr_willis> shavington,  normally i just logout - select the desktop i want.. or you could run 2+ x sessions
[13:54] <MOP> try out lubuntu
[13:54] <hobbelt> would you guys recommend dovecot or courier? I'm considering to give dovecot a try
[13:54] <MOP> What would this mean, my wifi can see and attempt to connect but can't. Password is right.
[13:54] <bosong> dr_willis there used to be
[13:55] <minixvbox> MOP: do you have wireless mac address filters set up on the router?
[13:55] <MOP> Nope.
[13:55] <MOP> Nothing special
[13:56] <ibirac> Hello! If I've a user abc on system, will it do any wrong if I change ownership of all the files in /home/abc/ using - chown -Rv abc:abc /home/abc/ - ?
[13:56] <shavington> Thanks people I'll keep working at it
[13:56] <MOP> WHat it does it it tries and loops and than the password window spops up with the password still in and I hit enter to try again...never stops
[13:57] <MOP> I have a Ralink 5390 pci a/b/g/n
[13:57] <minixvbox> MOP: tried restarting the router?
[13:57] <MOP> yes
[13:57] <MOP> Everything else is connected to it
[13:58] <bosong> MOP i have a similar problem with an ralink card. it connects fine one moment and then does the password thing
[13:58] <jrib> ibirac: should be fine
[13:58] <MOP> did you fix it bosong?
[13:59] <ibirac> jrib: The reson I'm trying that is 'coz I've few codes saved in USB drive while working on another system. Now, when I'm executing any object file created after compiling its giving permission denied.
[13:59] <bosong> MOP i didnt fix it, it is currently working but it just stops working for no good reason that i can see
[14:00] <ibirac> jrib: For example, -rw-r--r-- 1 abc abc 11919 2012-03-04 19:27 emp where emp is the output executable from a C code
[14:00] <jrib> ibirac: don't you want executable permissions on it then?
[14:00] <ibirac> jrib: I did chmod a+x on it, but still permission denied
[14:01] <northernen> ibirac, it's o+x.
[14:01] <jrib> ibirac: where is the file located?  And pastebin the output of « mount »
[14:01] <jrib> northernen: a+x would give user, group, and others executable permission.  o+x only gives others
[14:02] <ibirac> The file is currently in the USB drive and later I copied it to my home.
[14:02] <northernen> jrib, didn't know that. I'll write that in my notepad.
[14:02] <ibirac> jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/868249/
[14:03] <northernen> I've created a launcher for an application, and created a .desktop file for it which I placed in /usr/share/applications. However, when I run the launcher, it won't show in the Unity sidebar. What is the problem?
[14:03] <stpere> at this time, is it relatively safe to upgrade to 12.04?
[14:04] <minixvbox> stpere: wait for it to be released
[14:04] <jrib> ibirac: when you copy it to your home and do chmod a+x, does it still not have executable permissions?
[14:05] <MonkeyDust> northernen  http://danielj.se/2011/04/28/how-to-add-a-launcher-to-the-unity-launcher-bar/
[14:06] <ibirac> jrib: Ah, now it worked. I did that before :S But thanks, now its working :) Could you link any resource which details a+x, a+o ?
[14:06] <jrib> ibirac: « man chmod » is your best bet
[14:06] <jrib> !permissions | ibirac
[14:06] <jrib> ibirac: it won't work on your usb because it's vfat
[14:08] <ibirac> jrib: Then what does rw in the last line on my paste says?
[14:08] <MOP> guess doomed to not have wifi with ubuntu lol
[14:08] <jrib> ibirac: you can read and write
[14:09] <ibirac> jrib: Yes, so it should work. Isn't it?
[14:10] <jrib> ibirac: vfat doesn't support unix style permissions
[14:10] <Burrito_> Hello, I've been trying to install Vapor, a Mono-written implementation of a chat client which is compatible with the Steam Friends system (the following problem I've also had when installing other Mono software). More info about my error here: http://pastebin.com/Wa4Cby9f
[14:10] <jrib> ibirac: you could make *every* file executable if you set an fmask in the mount options
[14:10] <Burrito_> Does this mean that I need to install Mono myself? Or am I just missing a package?
[14:11] <ibirac> jrib: Ok, so its first file system check then permissions etc.. . Sure I'll read about fmask
[14:11] <jrib> !mount | ibirac
[14:11] <LjL> Burrito_: maybe you need to install the package libmono-corlib4.0-cil or libmono-corlib2.0-cil
[14:11] <Burrito_> Thanks, I'll try that now
[14:11] <clone1018> anyone know how to zip all folders in a directory linux (each foldering having their own .zip with the contents of the directory)
[14:12] <ibirac> jrib: I know about mount in terms of mounting fs. I was wondering how you were making use of output of 'mount' only
[14:12] <tomodo> hi, how do I upgrade my java version?
[14:12] <jrib> ibirac: just checking filesystem and mount options
[14:13] <ibirac> jrib: All right. Thank you! :)
[14:14] <Burrito_> LjL, thanks, worked :)
[14:16] <spitzi> Hiya. I wonder: is env "PATH" used anywhere but the shell when it needs to autocomplete a file name ?
[14:17] <Burrito_> Not sure, but I would think it is used in all the places PATH points to
[14:18] <yacc> Any hints how to make scripts run when filesystems (or specific filesystems) get mounted?
[14:18] <northernen> yacc, udev rules.
[14:18] <geirha> spitzi: It's used by most programs that run other programs
[14:19] <yacc> northernen, udev also sees when I do a mount command?
[14:19] <Burrito_> spitzi, it works for me in multiple places. I tested it with some files that are in /usr/games too, and that directory is in my PATH.
[14:20] <ubuntu_> ajay
[14:20] <geirha> spitzi: If you hit Alt+F2 in gnome and type in  uxterm, gnome will look through all directories in PATH for a file named uxterm, and run the first one it finds.
[14:20] <northernen> yacc, will auto-mount file systems for you, and you'll be able to specify a script to be run when it's mounted.
[14:20] <bosong> im on 11.10 my ibm laptop has a fingerprint reader. can i use it ?
[14:20] <yacc> northernen, the issue is not devices showing up, it's about fs becoming available when the relevant cryptographic keys show up.
[14:21] <yacc> northernen, it's not about devices becoming available, it's about mount points becoming available
[14:22] <yacc> northernen, e.g. it's stupid at best (and painful at worst) to run stuff that relies on my crypted $HOME before I log in.
[14:24] <yacc> northernen, samething applies to the multimedia part of the system that consists of a couple of hdds with LUKS containers that contain LVM => udev could handle this somehow, BUT it's still the wrong place, IMHO, I want to start the services when the mount points become meaningful and not when the underlying device shows up.
[14:24] <geirha> yacc: So run it via startup applications or .profile?
[14:24] <spitzi> geirha: I see, thanks.
[14:25] <spitzi> Why on earth did they keep that horrid Unity in Ubuntu 12 ? No one can stand it.
[14:25] <aboudreault> Hi, I'm looking for a great News reader (with Binary support) ... currently using sabnzbd. Is there something better?
[14:26] <yacc> geirha, that works for the $HOME case, but not the LUKS case => I'm looking for something generic, the current situation (a couple of scripts kept together with chewing gum)
[14:26] <yacc> is not nice to look at.
[14:26] <cyoz> how can I start a file manager window as root?
[14:26] <qmr> "the location is not a folder "      anyone know how to fix this?  it's because I have xfce4-terminal installed
[14:27] <bosong> im on 11.10 how do i place a wastebasket icon on the desktop?
[14:28] <Kristof_D> Hi, after a few hours of work my wireless drivers finally work. One problem though: in System->admin->drivers the driver is initially 'active but not in use' and only when I manually deactivate and reactivate them they start working. Isn't it possible to do this automatically?
[14:28] <spitzi> aboudreault: you mean a binary news reader or a text news reader ?
[14:28] <spitzi> aboudreault: oh, I see you wrote binary
[14:29] <Kristof_D> cyoz, alt+f2: type 'gksudo nautilus'

[14:33] <patrunjel> Hi, i've seen once some sort of stuff that you install to make tty look like a gui (that is, give you more information, like the time in the upper-right side, the full path to the current directory somewhere else), do you know anything about it? (I don't mean PS1 customization)
[14:33] <Tetracomm> How do I switch power to a parallel port off (even if it is just pin 2 and 18 like some use) ?
[14:34] <ssta> patrunjel: byobu?
[14:34] <Kristof_D> vikjain,  maybe your isp prevents the downloading of torrents? (mine does)
[14:34] <ssta> patrunjel: or maybe you mean mc?
[14:34] <vikjain> on windows it works fine!! @kristof_D
[14:35] <bosong> im on 11.10 how do i place a wastebasket icon on the desktop?
[14:36] <patrunjel> ssta, yes, thanks, that sort of thing :D
[14:36] <dr_willis> bosong:  the myunity tweak tool can do that
[14:37] <scarleo> bosong, you know you have it in launcher, right?
[14:37] <Kristof_D> anyone know anything about 'driver activated but currently not in use'? It only starts when I deactivate and reactivate it, but I'd like it to do that automatically.
[14:38] <faissal> hey guys, can someone please let me know how I can change the OSD overlay icon when i press the media key volumeup or volume down on my keyboard ?
[14:38] <dr_willis> Kristof_D:  video driver? ive seen it say its nit in use when it really is
[14:38] <bosong> scarleo im using gnome-classic . dont like unity

[14:47] <pythonsnake> Hi.
[14:47] <biopyte> hi. i upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10 and have to realize that flash is still crashing notoriously whole firefox sessions. what is this? this is a major bug? is it due to ubuntu? whats the solution?
[14:47] <pythonsnake> How can I increase my resolution beyond the limit?
[14:50] <wylde> pythonsnake: why would you want to do that? You can damage your display(s) permanently that way.
[14:51] <pythonsnake> wylde: I need more space on my desktop.
[14:52] <ssta> get more monitors?  use virtual desktops?
[14:52] <wylde> pythonsnake: and that's assuming your video card will support higher resoloutions than you display(s).
[14:54] <wylde> pythonsnake:  like ssta said, you're better off adding a display or using virtual desktops, than possibly damaging your hardware.
[14:54] <pythonsnake> virtual desktops == virtualbox?
[14:55] <dr_willis> err no.
[14:55] <auronandace> pythonsnake: no
[14:55] <wylde> pythonsnake:  no
[14:55] <Companion> !version
[14:56] <pythonsnake> Or, workspaces?
[14:56] <auronandace> pythonsnake: yes
[14:58] <pythonsnake> Interesting.
[14:59] <dr_willis> old featuer
[14:59] <minixvbox> pythonsnake: linux has had virtual desktops/ workspaces for years (more than a decade)
[15:00] <pythonsnake> Now I've got another problem: how can we remove those status "Availaible, Away..." from the mail icon?
[15:00] <santoshfamily> i  have problem with update manager ?
[15:00] <pythonsnake> !ask | santoshfamily
[15:00] <wylde> minixvbox: They had them about 18 years ago when I first started playing with linux!
[15:00] <santoshfamily> The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated
[15:05] <spitzi> See ya.
[15:05] <pythonsnake> reboot
[15:07]  * satyanash just configured xinerama with a 1024x768 CRT and 1600x900 LCD! Xinerama FTW!
[15:09] <wylde> satyanash: I like nvidia's twinview better :) you can still use 3d effects with it! :)
[15:13] <sander> hello
[15:14] <sander> I have a problem with the "install" tool
[15:14] <win7bittin> hi
how to  set nvidia's twinview  ?
[15:14] <sander> "install -m 644 -o www-data -g www-data >    local/var/www/*.html ~/anotherdir" fails
[15:15] <sander> install: cannot create regular file `thatfile': Permission denied
[15:15] <sander> why does install hold me back???
[15:15] <geirha> sander: You must run it as root.
[15:15] <wylde> santoshfamily: it's part of the non-free NVidia driver.
[15:16] <sander> I cannot do so, because a package manager tool (GODI) tries to do that
[15:16] <geirha> sander: And the '>' is completely wrong
[15:16] <sander> that would result on many other files having owner root
[15:16] <Xabster> so, my Ubuntu 11.10 install is making my touchpad act sooo weird! It's like there's a loose connection to the touchpad, but not the buttons. I can kinda move the cursor, but it takes me a minute to get from one side to the other because it rarely registers my touches... any help? (Toshiba Satellite L300)
[15:16] <sander> geirha the ">" is a paste error, I copied it from the GODI console
[15:16] <ziv> hello, I have a problem playing MKV files, when trying to open them (in the dafault program or VLC) the computer shows lots of colors and then crashes. I'm using ubuntu 12.4, ATI GFX card and a dual monitor setup.
[15:16] <mrFrog> i've got a dedicated server with two disk drives. i'm going to move mysql (the databases) to the second drive. i've read a little about just changing mysql's path to a path on the other drive, but how do i make part of the file system be on the second drive? say that i want /var/databases to be on my second drive, how do i do that? (ubuntu server edition)
[15:17] <CharminTheMoose> Why, despite me setting the config directory for mkinitramfs to /etc/initramfs which contains nothing more than initramfs.conf and modules, does the initrd come out as 11 megs?
[15:17] <santoshfamily> so what !
[15:17] <geirha> sander: That install command is trying to change ownership. Only the root user can do that.
[15:17] <sander> so how can I set privileges for my user (who is in the admin group BTW) so that install does not whine?
[15:18] <aranea> I have a small problem with XFCE's terminal: The setting Advanced/Compatibility/Backspace key generates is set to 'Auto-detect'. Now, when I use screen inside such a terminal, non-readline programs (e.g mail) don't recognise the use of the backspace key, but print Ctrl+H instead. Surely, that's no problem, I'm just interested if it leads to other problems if I modify this setting.
[15:18] <bastidrazor> !precise | ziv
[15:19] <jlb181> ziv: I had a similar problem yesterday.  for me the problem was the ATI drivers.  I removed them and everything worked again
[15:19] <geirha> sander: I don't know. I have never heard of GODI
[15:19] <ziv> remove them? but if I remove them I can't use dual monitors
[15:19] <sander> GODI is an OCaml package manager, this problematic package is a webserver
[15:20] <sander> so If you would build a webserver from source, that tries to set ownership to users (www-data etc.), how would you do it?
[15:20] <sander> running it as root results in files with owner root at many places
[15:20] <sander> (the Makefiles try to, not the webserver itself)
[15:21] <geirha> sander: Then make sure the other places doesn't do the wrong thing when running as root.
[15:21] <sander> what do you mean
[15:21] <geirha> sander: Typically, you run configure and make as your own user, and make install as root
[15:21] <Mrokii> Hello. I have a weird problem. For some weeks (or maybe months meanwhile) my LCD-screen darkens and brightens "automagically" depending on what windows are in front or how big they are. For example, when I resize a terminal-window, the overall brightness gets darker and if I resize it to fill the whole screen it gets almost too dark to read anything.
[15:21] <sander> are you saying I should leave them as owner root?
[15:21] <sander> that is true
[15:21] <Mrokii> Does anybody know what could case this?
[15:21] <sander> this is a problem with GODI
[15:21] <jlb181> ziv: I don't use dual monitors, at least at the same time.  I disable the one I am not using, but with the default drivers that come with the install I can use dual monitors.
[15:21] <geirha> sander: No, I'm saying you specifically set which ownership they should have, as you did with that install command.
[15:22] <sander> it is designed to run as unprivileged user
[15:22] <geirha> sander: Perhaps there's a channel that supports this GODI? If so, I'd try asking there.
[15:24] <user_> Hi, I cannot boot my computer. I tried boot repair, the result is http://paste.ubuntu.com/868359 Please advise
[15:26] <oobscure> hello. I'm using a custom installation of Firefox as my main web browser, and I want to tell Ubuntu to use it as the default web browser. Any hints about what to do or which path should I follow?
[15:27] <sander> okay thanks geirha
[15:28] <sander> oobscure: remove 'firefox' from PATH (so uninstall it, basically), and add the directory where you have your custom build to the PATH by changing PATH="${PATH}:/home/blabla/whereyourfirefoxis" in ~/.profile
[15:29] <sander> restart and click the icon of firefox on the desktop
[15:29] <oobscure> hm. actually I don't have firefox installed, or icons on my desktop, but I think I get what you mean, thanks

[15:34] <amaury> Hi everyone. I've got a problem with an applet on Gnome 3. Explanations : I wanted to try DOCKY, and I wasn't sure that all the windows could be reduced in it, so I decided to add a " windows list applet" on my Gnome-panel. But now, I just want to delete it, and I don't know how to do ( ALT+Right doest'n work )... Someone can help me ?
[15:34] <oobscure> user_: I had a look at your output but I'm clueless :\
[15:34] <hotfloppy> Hey guys.. When I create a PGP key & submit it to Launchpad, what happens if I formatting my laptop? Do I need to re-create the PGP key & submit again? What about the package that I've added to PPA when the PGP key changed? Thanks.
[15:35] <elijah> Is there a way to get system monitor to show disk I/O and bandwidth?
[15:35] <elijah> Underneath the "resources" tab?
[15:35] <faissal> hey guys, can someone please let me know how I can change the OSD overlay icon when i press the media key volumeup or volume down on my keyboard ?
[15:35] <oobscure> elijah: I use iptraf to monitor bandwith usage
[15:36] <oobscure>  sorry elijah I think I misunderstood
[15:36] <user_> oobscure: Do you have any suggestions how I could make my computer to boot?
[15:36] <elijah> oobscure: Yes, I mean bandwidth of the disks
[15:37] <oobscure> I have no experience with the boot repair via usb stick - I'd use a ubuntu cd to get to a working session and then try from there
[15:37] <elijah> At any rate, is there a tool in Ubuntu that can give me disk info in realtime?
[15:37] <amaury> Is there someone to tell me how to delete a "windows list opened" applet ? Please, Alt + Right click doesn't work !
[15:38] <elijah> Does Ubuntu delete packages after it installs them? I am installing on an old laptop with only 18GB storage and want to make sure it cleans up after itself.
[15:39] <bastidrazor> elijah: it does not. 'sudo apt-get clean' will remove the .debs afterwards
[15:39] <oobscure> bastidrazor: +1
[15:39] <elijah> bastidrazor: Thanks, is there a way to have this run on boot?
[15:39] <user_> oobscure: But what do you do when you are in the working session?
[15:40] <oobscure> user_: fix /etc/default/grub or appropriate grub file, then update-grub, then reboot - sort of
[15:41] <oobscure> user_: i'm not sure about the precise cause of your issue so i can't be more precise :\
[15:41] <CharminTheMoose> Why, despite me setting the config directory for mkinitramfs to /etc/initramfs which contains nothing more than initramfs.conf and modules, does the initrd come out as 11 megs?
[15:41] <amaury> Is there someone to tell me how to delete a "windows list opened" applet ? Please, Alt + Right click doesn't work !
[15:41] <elijah> amaury: I am not sure what that is, is it a dialog window?
[15:42] <oobscure> amaury: which ubuntu version are you on?
[15:42] <oobscure> sounds like pre-unity or gnome 3 interface
[15:42] <MonkeyDust> amaury  what's the outcome of lsb_release -sd ?
[15:42] <user_> oobscure: what do you mean by <fix>? do you mean to delete the file?
[15:42] <amaury> @oobscure: I just upgrade to 11.10 with Gnome-shell
[15:43] <amaury> @MonkeyDust : I try.. Wait ! Thanks everyone
[15:44] <amaury> @MonkeyDust: Ubuntu 11.10 !
[15:44] <oobscure> user_: no, you totally need that file. don't delete it. that's the file which tells the computer which partition it should use to run the kernel. i suspect there's something wrong in it, and you should correct it
[15:44] <pythonsnake> Anyone know how do we tile in Unity?
[15:45] <minixvbox> pythonsnake: unity uses compiz, which isn't a tiling window manager
[15:45] <oobscure> python did you try Super + right arrow ?
[15:45] <oobscure> also Super + left arrow ... and Super + Up arrow to maximize active window
[15:46] <amaury> @elijah : This is the dock applet where the windows are shown, but I want this task to be executed in docky. When I ALT+Right click on it, I just got the windows options like " maximize", "reduce" etc...
[15:46] <oobscure> keep Super pressed for more shortcuts
[15:46] <pythonsnake> doesnt work
[15:46] <elijah> amaury: Try pressing alt+f4, that usually closes windows
[15:46] <Dan_A> uhh i need help installing ubuntu. i want to dual boot but installation failed twice and damaged my mbr
[15:46] <oobscure> aww sorry pythonsnake I'm on Ubuntu 12.04 beta, that's why it works here
[15:47] <elijah> amaury: also ctrl+q may work
[15:47] <amaury> Yes I know ! I don't want to close the window, I want to close the option on the dockbar :s

[15:48] <faissal> hey guys, can someone please let me know how I can change the OSD overlay icon when i press the media key volumeup or volume down on my keyboard ?
[15:48] <user_> oobscure: in boot repair I have the option to edit grub configuration file, could you have a look at that?
[15:48] <mlpokn> Hey.
[15:48] <minixvbox> pythonsnake: in unity, you don't
[15:48] <fsales> hello people.
[15:48] <pythonsnake> What?!
[15:48] <mlpokn> my brightness always gets maxed out at startup?! How can I fix it?
[15:48] <hotfloppy> Hey guys.. When I create a PGP key & submit it to Launchpad, what happens if I formatting my laptop? Do I need to re-create the PGP key & submit again? What about the package that I've added to PPA if the PGP key changed? Thanks.
[15:48] <pythonsnake> I want to say "wtf?"
[15:48] <Myrtti> hotfloppy: back up the pgp key
[15:48] <oobscure> user_: let's try - is that on a new pastebin or the one you posted earlier ?
[15:48] <Myrtti> pythonsnake: you did. Please don't.
[15:49] <minixvbox> pythonsnake: ask the unity devs why (i happily stick with xfce)
[15:49] <elijah> amaury: & minixvbox - gotcha
[15:49] <pythonsnake> Sorry Myrtti
[15:49] <eva> Hello.
[15:49] <fsales> can someone help me?
[15:49] <CharminTheMoose> Why, despite me setting the config directory for mkinitramfs to /etc/initramfs which contains nothing more than initramfs.conf and modules, does the initrd come out as 11 megs?
[15:49] <hotfloppy> Myrtti, thanks god someone answered.. then, how to use it again? import it back? i've experiments it just now on global jam but its seems that the imported keys goes to Others Key and not on My Personal Keys.. is it okay?
[15:49] <oobscure> pythonsnake: http://askubuntu.com/questions/33605/can-i-move-the-unity-launcher ?
[15:50] <fsales> when i turn on my computer, instead of appearing the window where i can choos my OS, the monitor stays black with a white message saying OUT OF RANGE 58/92. i run ubuntu 11.10
[15:50] <user_> oobscure: here it is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/868407/
[15:50] <fsales> what do i do?
[15:50] <amaury> elijah: Unknown command in a terminal :/
[15:50] <pangolin> Guest20428: Please stop sending me dcc chat requests
[15:51] <eva> I have an Asus EEEPC 1011PX, which came with maverick preinstalled. It seems that beside the normal maverick repos, it also uses "maverick-guandu" from asus.archive.canonical.com.
[15:51] <pythonsnake> What is the Ubuntu button?
[15:51] <wylde> fsales: can you run your computer with a Live CD?
[15:51] <eva> Is there a way to update to a newer version of ubuntu, without losing the drivers and all the other stuff?
[15:51] <fsales> when i do that, it keeps normal.
[15:51] <elijah> wylde: Yes, but only temporarily, it cannot write files back to the CD
[15:51] <fsales> wylde: in this black screen, if i press enter, it normally enters ubuntu
[15:52] <wylde> fsales: sounds like your hard drive has failed to be honest
[15:52] <Myrtti> hotfloppy: you should be able to import it back, I'm not familiar on the mechanics of it but it shouldn't be too hard.
[15:52] <elijah> wylde: You can run it off a live usb drive though
[15:52] <oobscure> user_: that's identical to my one - it looks correct. let's see another file then, wai.
[15:52] <oobscure> wait*
[15:52] <wylde> fsales: ahh alright
[15:52] <hotfloppy> thanks Myrtti..
[15:54] <oobscure> user_: by the way are you able to reboot and choose Recovery Session from the boot menu ?
[15:54] <VIPER-II> hello there. Trying to manualy mount a drive here. How do i check which drives has been 'detected'? i'm on command line.
[15:54] <MonkeyDust> VIPER-II  sudo fdisk -l
[15:54] <needhelp1> installed linux next to my existing linux install. my grub menu does not show the new install menu though? What can i check to see if itts installed and should i edit my grub menu?
[15:55] <user_> oobscure: I can do that
[15:55] <needhelp1> I think the new install was done on sda7
[15:55] <VIPER-II> ah
[15:55] <oobscure> try that, it may work. if not, i'd check /boot/grub/grub.cfg but I have to log out now :\
[15:56] <oobscure> good luck user_ and bye everybody
[15:56] <user_> oobscure: thanks
[15:56] <needhelp1> can anyone assist me with some grub issues
[15:56] <alucard47> hey
[15:56] <alucard47> qualche italiano?
[15:57] <xangua> !it | alucard47
[15:57] <VIPER-II> ah. Then now i'm sure of it.  I killed my raid.    hahaha....
[15:57] <alucard47> thanx
[15:57] <wylde> fsales: does the description at this link sound right? http://www.computing.net/answers/hardware/monitor-says-out-of-range/62756.html
[15:57] <VIPER-II> it says:   /dev/sdc has no partition table.
[15:58] <needhelp1> VIPER-II, how did you check that?
[15:58] <VIPER-II> with "fdisk -l"
[15:59] <VIPER-II> Through the disk manager it told me already that this Disk is unpartitioned. But couldn't believe I lost the content like that.
[15:59] <Boreeas> PING availo.esper.net (80.65.51.138) 56(84) bytes of data.
[15:59] <Boreeas> From vlan1486-te-1-1.b02.digi.osl.no.fasthost.no (88.87.63.102) icmp_seq=1 Packet filtered
[15:59] <VIPER-II> But now with fdisk it says the same. So i guess I lost the content.
[15:59] <Boreeas> What does "PAcket filtered" mean?
[16:00] <VIPER-II> Boreas: doesn't that mean that ping is being blocked?
[16:00] <Boreeas> I don't know.
[16:00] <VIPER-II> oh.
[16:00] <VIPER-II> U want me to try ping it?
[16:01] <needhelp1> i see that my linux install was succesful, i chose to installed next to my other current os (which is also another ubuntu derivative though its not listed in grub
[16:01] <amaury> Please, I want to delete something on the gnome-shell dockbar !
[16:01] <VIPER-II> in Windows it says "88.87.63.102: Network is unreachable"
[16:02] <Boreeas> VIPER-II: Thanks
[16:02] <VIPER-II> :)
[16:02] <Boreeas> Weird
[16:02] <phunyguy> Hello, just curious about an issue in Banshee, I saw that it has uPnP capability as a client, and my uPnP server shows up, but it is all grayed out and I can't do anything.  Is this a known issue?
[16:02] <VIPER-II> Boreas: sup?
[16:03] <Boreeas> Well, the server itself is up, so it's probably blocking pings for some reason?
[16:04] <VIPER-II> Boreeas: probably. Allot of ppl do that. Kinda avoid getting attention from hackers. If you dont react to pings, hackers might think you're not there and let you in peace.
[16:04] <needhelp1> how can i check my current grub menu and see if i can edit it to add my missing linux install?
[16:04] <Deihmos> when ubuntu boots it takes a few minutes before I hear the boot sound. My sound card takes a while to be activated or detected. Is there any solution?

[16:06] <cclove> root@LK:/home/cclove# vim /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[16:06] <cclove> i try ...
[16:06] <hotfloppy> Myrtti, i found the solutions here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/32438/how-to-share-one-pgp-key-on-multiple-machines .. thanks :)
[16:08] <needhelp1> wow grub is complicated
[16:08] <minixvbox> needhelp1: simple when you know how
[16:09] <needhelp1> i dont. have no idea where to start
[16:09] <minixvbox> needhelp1: what are you trying to do?
[16:10] <needhelp1> i just installed a linux distro (ubuntu based, with gnome installer) and i see the install on sda7 but the install is not listed in my grub boot menu to boot into.
[16:10] <meerkats> i need help to trim, possibly with GIMP (or command line) 40 pnm files: all have in common the bottom third of the file, which is totally blank, and I need to get rid of it
[16:10] <minixvbox> needhelp1: did you sudo update-grub (or grub-update, never remember which way around it is)
[16:11] <needhelp1> no i didnt
[16:11] <needhelp1> i'll try that now
[16:12] <minixvbox> needhelp1: it updates the grub menu
[16:12] <minixvbox> needhelp1: searches for new os's and adds them
[16:12] <needhelp1> dang that was easy
[16:12] <needhelp1> brb reboot
[16:13] <minixvbox> needhelp1: see, easy when you know how
[16:13] <needhelp1> yeah
[16:13] <needhelp1> thanks minixvbox
[16:13] <minixvbox> needhelp1: no worries :)

[16:26] <valdur55> I have samsung ML-1670 and it isn't on list, and i don't want install vendor ugly soft witch add LPT port handler
[16:26] <mr_boo> pylaurent: start from the live cd and reinstall grub that way
[16:27] <amaury> mr_boo: Thanks for the answer ! This is my soundcard : Audio device: Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01)
[16:27] <pylaurent> mr_boo: How to install grub?
[16:27] <elijah> Is their a good utility in Ubuntu that shows what processes/applications are using the disk?
[16:28] <pylaurent> I never do that, could please you tell me?
[16:28] <szal> 'lsof /dev/sdXY'?
[16:28] <valdur55> szal, yea, i know. But how can i add my printer to list? And where is printer database?
[16:28] <mr_boo> pylaurent: i'm not entirely sure but i know it is done from the live cd
[16:29] <pylaurent> mr_boo: thankyou
[16:29] <mr_boo> pylaurent: if grub already is installed all you need to do is a "sudo update-grub" command from the command prompt after you've mounted the system from the live cd
[16:29] <mr_boo> pylaurent: actually i use to have problem with it myself
[16:30] <jlb181> elijah: iotop works in the terminal
[16:30] <mr_boo> pylaurent: but i've come so far that i know that i must do two steps 1) mount system disk from live cd 2) install grub on system disk
[16:30] <Sotin> hi
[16:30] <Sotin> some one can help me with a sound problem?
[16:30] <droid-0854> Or find universial grub loader and build it.
[16:30] <mr_boo> pylaurent: i've forgot how to do the two steps in detail
[16:31] <minixvbox> Sotin: what type of sound problem?
[16:31] <geirha> elijah: sudo fuser -vm /dev/sda1
[16:31] <mr_boo> amaury: i've had serious problem with pulseaudio and my Delta 1010lt soundcard in ubuntustudio

[16:31] <Sotin> thanks i have head phones and speaker
[16:32] <Sotin> but i only have sound in the headphone
[16:32] <Sotin> i'new in ubuntu
[16:32] <mr_boo> how do i perform a total rebuild of my ubuntu system?
[16:33] <mr_boo> some guy on this channel thought it could be a way of solve a crashy behaviour
[16:33] <amaury> mr_boo: I've Ubuntu Studio too... Yesterday I decided to upgrade from 11.04, and since I'm on the 11.10, internet doesn't work very well, cairo-dock neither, and the sound neither... I really want to downgrade to 11.04 ..
[16:33] <szal> mr_boo: define 'rebuild'
[16:33] <minixvbox> mr_boo: sounds fishy
[16:33] <amaury> mr_boo: Do you have a solution for my problem ?
[16:33] <mr_boo> szal: total repair
[16:33] <minixvbox> mr_boo: why no just reinstall?
[16:33] <mr_boo> amaury: to be honest i don't
[16:33] <szal> mr_boo: try a newly created user first; if that makes no problems, it's a user setting
[16:34] <mr_boo> minixvbox: reinstall would be best of course but i haven't any writable dvd :((
[16:34] <amaury> mr_boo:  Ahhh, I'm unlucky !
[16:34] <minixvbox> mr_boo: you could use a cd or usb
[16:34] <szal> amaury: *buntu and dist-upgrade..  an endless story..  best to back up your dotfiles and important settings from /etc and reinstall
[16:34] <mr_boo> amaury: i don't even remember how i got pulseaudio to work in 10.04
[16:34] <th1ta> hello everyone!
[16:35] <mr_boo> amaury: it was beyond rocket science
[16:35] <mr_boo> amaury: i had to read tons of blogs and posts and chat around and mess with system files and ........
[16:35] <amaury> mr_boo: Everything worked perfectly on 11.04, but then here, so boring..
[16:35] <mr_boo> and eventually i got it to work but i cannot remember how
[16:36] <mr_boo> unfortunately that seems to be common in ubuntu
[16:36] <mr_boo> after updating or upgrading suddenly something stops to work
[16:36] <th1ta> backtrack or blackbuntu?
[16:36] <th1ta> plz help!!
[16:36] <szal> !backtrack | th1ta
[16:36] <szal> th1ta: unsupported derivatives, no help here, sorry
[16:36] <davarow> Hi. I have upgraded mesa3d to version 7.10.3 from this ppa https://launchpad.net/~jon-severinsson/+archive/mesa and now i have black screen when i run "mplayer -vo gl". sound is working but have no video. Even glxgears show ONLY frames per second (in terminal) but circles are not visible (only all-black window).
[16:37] <davarow> how to keep 7.10.3 and fix this?
[16:37] <davarow> I have this packages installed http://ideone.com/W4dca
[16:38] <davarow> am I missing any package?
[16:38] <davarow> (in that list?)
[16:38] <fsales> hello people again
[16:39] <LeeLee> hello, im new to ubuntu, but i think its brilliant so far
[16:40] <fsales> i have a dual boot windows 7/ubuntu 11.10. in the loading screen and when i shut down myPC on ubuntu, the monitor says OUT OF RANGE 92.5Khz/58Hz.  My monitor is a LG E2240. I tried entering GRUB2 /sudo nano etc/default/grub and changing to various resolutions.but none worked.what should i do?
[16:40] <amaury> mr_boo: I ve got a dual boot, if I reinstall the 11.04, will I loose my documents? I never downgraded a PC
[16:41] <LeeLee> does anyone know where to find a wide selection of good movies online?
[16:41] <LeeLee> but free ?
[16:41] <oCean> LeeLee: that's quite offtopic for this channel
[16:41] <piotr_kuna> Hi all out there :)
[16:41] <mr_boo> amaury: usually the walkthrough will offer to salvage the files from the home folder but i'd strongly recommend to backup your stuff
[16:41] <LoC|Onyx> Hello, can anyone help me with Adobe Flash Player please? I installed "adobe-flashplugin" in the 11.01.102.62 but I still have the 10.3 version
[16:41] <davarow> LeeLee: http://127.0.0.1
[16:42] <oCean> davarow: please don't
[16:42] <LeeLee> ok ocean, no probs :)
[16:42] <donsd> I would like to set up a separate  alias file, not in .profile or .bashrc.  How do I do that?  I had such a setup for years, but now have to start over.
[16:42] <davarow> oCean: don't what?
[16:42] <mr_boo> is there a way of reading any logs after a system crash?
[16:43] <tazjin> mr_boo: They're in /var/log
[16:43] <escott> donsd, create the file. put it wherever you want. and source it from a startup script
[16:43] <minixvbox> mr_boo: mount the partition and look at them from a livecd or other os
[16:44] <amaury> mr_boo: I'm gonna save my ubuntu files so...
[16:44] <escott> mr_boo, if its not flushed to disk it can be hard. some kernels (but probably not ubuntu stock) support debugging over usb or serial
[16:44] <velko> donsd, maybe you can create your alias file and source it (include it's contents) in .bashrc or .profile, with a line like ". my_alias_file"
[16:44] <escott> !sysrq | mr_boo
[16:44] <th1ta> h
[16:45] <oCean> davarow: your joking answer about 127.0.0.1; If you're going to offer help, be helpful. Jokes are not helpful
[16:45] <mr_boo> thanks escott
 Thanks.  That makes sense.  I will read up on startup scripts.
[16:45] <th1ta> slap
[16:45] <escott> donsd, the quick and dirty for bash users on ubuntu is .profile sources .bashrc
[16:46] <nishttal2> hello ppl, i just assemble a computer from scratch.. i used the ASUS P8Z68-V LX mother board
[16:46] <nishttal2> it has a graphics card on board with DVI/HDMI/VGA out
[16:46] <fsales> can someone help me?i have a dual boot windows 7/ubuntu 11.10. in the loading screen and when i shut down myPC on ubuntu, the monitor says OUT OF RANGE 92.5Khz/58Hz.  My monitor is a LG E2240. I tried entering GRUB2 /sudo nano etc/default/grub and changing to various resolutions.but none worked.what should i do?
[16:46] <nishttal2> however the graphics is crappy on Ubuntu 10.10
[16:46] <nishttal2> i think its missing a driver
[16:47] <pylaurent> I still can't fix it
[16:47] <nishttal2> does anyone know where I could find the driver
[16:47] <zykotick9> nishttal2: to find out what chipset is being used, run "lspci | grep -i vga"
[16:47] <escott> fsales, sounds like it isnt a grub issue but the kernel which is picking a bad mode. you can pass a vesa mode number to the kernel during boot
[16:48] <nishttal2> zykotick9, 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Sandy Bridge Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)
[16:48] <escott> !framebuffer | fsales
[16:48] <minixvbox> nishttal2: sndy bridge wasn't supported at 10.10 i think
[16:49] <nishttal2> oops so what do i do now?
[16:49] <mauwii> ?
[16:49] <minixvbox> nishttal2: use a more recent ubuntu
[16:49] <fsales> escott: my monitor is a E2240 LG. does it help?
[16:49] <LoC|Onyx> Please, can anyone help me? I installed "adobe-flashplugin" in the 11.1.102.62 version but I still have the 10.3 Flash Player version
[16:49] <nishttal2> i hate unity :(
[16:49] <minixvbox> nishttal2: don't use unity then
[16:49] <theadmin> nishttal2: Try Xubuntu
[16:49] <minixvbox> nishttal2: xfce is fantastic for me
[16:50] <nishttal2> i thought unity was the only option after 11.04
[16:50] <oCean> nishttal2: 10.10 isn't going to be supported much longer. As theadmin said the Xubuntu desktop (xfce) resembles the classic gnome look
[16:50] <minixvbox> nishttal2: no, you can use whatever is in the repos
[16:50] <gulzar> any app or script to convert pdf into odt?
[16:50] <escott> fsales, not really. its a graphics card kernel issue. its possible that your monitor is misreporting its capabilities in the edid data but thats not something that can be identified from a model number
[16:50] <codemaniac> clear screen
[16:50] <nishttal2> does Xubuntu support Compiz... i love to be able to rotate cube my desktops :)
[16:51] <escott> gulzar, probably not but poppler-utils will have a pdftotext utility
[16:51] <minixvbox> nishttal2: yes
[16:51] <nishttal2> and wobbly windows
[16:51] <gulzar> nishttal2: yes it supprots
[16:51] <nishttal2> awesome
[16:51] <gulzar> escott: Ok will check it
[16:51] <nishttal2> where do I download xubuntu from?
[16:51] <gulzar> nishttal2: anything DE except gonme shell supprts compiz
[16:51] <minixvbox> !xubuntu | nishttal2
[16:52] <bastidrazor> nishttal2: if you don't have ubuntu already you can download the iso at http://http://releases.ubuntu.com/
[16:52] <nishttal2> i am running 10.10 rt now
[16:52] <helmet> ??
[16:53] <theadmin> nishttal2: Just get the latest Xubuntu from http://xubuntu.org
[16:53] <nishttal2> can I just upgrade from here or fresh install
[16:53] <mauwii> Mauwii??
[16:53] <theadmin> Woah, new website
[16:53] <theadmin> Nice ^_^
[16:53] <gulzar> nishttal2: http://xubuntu.org/getxubuntu/
[16:53] <minixvbox> nishttal2: better to fresh install
[16:53] <gulzar> nishttal2: try fresh install
[16:54] <nishttal2> ok the latest xubuntu would have the latest linux kernel as well
[16:54] <sythe> Ahoy
[16:54] <nishttal2> i heard the 3 series had some TCP enhancements
[16:54] <bastidrazor> nishttal2: 11.10 has 3.0 kernel
[16:54] <minixvbox> nishttal2: 11.10 has 3.0
[16:55] <nishttal2> ok downloading
[16:55] <sythe> Could someone please make me a 32-bit deb package of this: https://github.com/clynamen/Ogitor-Facade ?
[16:55] <nishttal2> so this wont be gnome?
[16:55] <minixvbox> nishttal2: no, xfce
[16:56] <nishttal2> hmm.. anything i should be worried about.. never used xfce
[16:56] <theadmin> nishttal2: XFCE is a lot like Gnome2
[16:57] <theadmin> nishttal2: You'll feel right at home with it
[16:57] <minixvbox> nishttal2: its very customisable and gtk based, so not much to worry about
[16:57] <sythe> Cinnamon is nicer
[16:57] <sythe> IMO
[16:57] <nishttal2> ok great.. i have gnome2 at the moment so cool
[16:57] <sythe> KDE is the best.
[16:57] <sythe> Lol
[16:57] <nishttal2> i just care i keep my wobbly windows and cube desktops
[16:57] <Wargasm> lxde is nice
[16:58] <lechevalier_> I use lubuntu with xfce
[16:58] <minixvbox> lechevalier_: why?
[16:58] <Wargasm> lxde is my favorite
[16:58] <pup-0854> Gnome3 ftw
[16:58] <sythe> Wargasm, why?
[16:58] <gulzar> escott: no dear.. no help with poppler. It converts but not to odt :(
[16:58] <lechevalier_> I can open terminal anywhere
[16:58] <loucal> i <3 fluxbox, just tthought i would throw that in there
[16:58] <oCean> ok, let's not get into the "what is nice and what is even nicer" discussion here in the support channel
[16:58] <oCean> move back on topic pls
[16:58] <Wargasm> sythe: simple, fast, easily customizable
[16:58] <escott> gulzar, like i said i dont think you can get to odt in one shot
[16:58] <minixvbox> lechevalier_: why not just use xubuntu?
[16:58] <jackotheshadow> Hey. I'm new to IRC and Linux, but I'm using Ubuntu because I'm trying to remove a virus I got while using XP. Can anybody point me in the direction of a good channel to join, or something? Or can I get help here?
[16:59] <theadmin> nishttal2: XFCE is almost a Gnome2 clone. LXDE is also similar, but provides a little less widgets and such stuff, panels are not as customizable.
[16:59] <sythe> wargasm: I'll give you the first two ;)
[16:59] <escott> !alis | jackotheshadow
[16:59] <Wargasm> sythe: I'll take the first two lol
[16:59] <gulzar> escott: any other way.. indirect way will also work. websites are there whcih convert online but having something offline is of great help
[16:59] <Wargasm> sythe: only problem I have with lxde is the battery monitor... the built in one does not work correctly
[17:00] <sythe> jackotheshadow: system rescue CD
[17:00] <escott> gulzar, i dont know of a way sorry
[17:00] <Zaitzev> can anyone recommend a good irc bouncer?
[17:00] <gulzar> pup-0854: gnome3.2 is awesome
[17:00] <sythe> Lol
[17:00] <pangolin> Zaitzev: znc works well
[17:00] <sythe> Irc for emacs
[17:00] <Zaitzev> pangolin: it's easy to install and stuff?
[17:00] <pangolin> Zaitzev: apt-get install znc
[17:00] <Zaitzev> yeah that
[17:00] <patrunjel> Hi. How do I run date and append the output to the name of a file? (I want it to look like : Filename(date).bak )
[17:00] <gulzar> escott: no prob.. atleast I get to know abotu poppler. :) Thank You
[17:00] <qwe123> can i have gnaome 3 instaled in 10.04?
[17:00] <Zaitzev> i mean configure, etc etc
[17:01] <pangolin> Zaitzev: easy to install and simple to configure, just answer the questions and you should be up and running in about 10-15 minutes
[17:01] <minixvbox> qwe123: not without breaking stuff
[17:01] <qwe123> ok
[17:01] <xangua> qwe123: ubuntu oneiric already uses gnome3.2
[17:02] <qwe123> sorry i am new to ubuntu
[17:02] <gulzar> qwe123: yes you can.. install from USC
[17:02] <qwe123> so dont know much but saw a friend using it.. looks pretty cool
[17:02] <Zaitzev> pangolin: how about setting it up with a domain that I own? how would I go about that?
[17:02] <qwe123> gulzar: how?
[17:02] <gulzar> qwe123: it is cool.. I am using 3.2.1
[17:03] <minixvbox> qwe123: seriously, don't install gnome3 in 10.04
[17:03] <gulzar> qwe123: open software center and search for gnome-shell .. click on install and choose it from login screen
[17:03] <qwe123> gulzar: what is usc and how do we get gnome 3 working in 10.04?
[17:03] <nishttal2> btw.. i did have a RAID question, this motherboard supports RAID 1... and I was able to configure it as well.. problem is my 2 disks are not the same size (1TB and 1.5TB).. the raid disk is understandably 1TB.. is there a way to claim the 500GB on the other disk?
[17:03] <nishttal2> as a unraided volume?
[17:03] <gulzar> qwe123: USC -Ubuntu Software Centre
[17:03] <pangolin> Zaitzev: not sure what you mean by domain you own.
[17:03] <gulzar> qwe123: not in 10.04 . it is possible with 11.10
[17:03] <qwe123> gulzar: thanks
[17:04] <minixvbox> gulzar: he is using 10.04, so no gnome3
[17:04] <qwe123> minixvbox: why?
[17:04] <Zaitzev> pangolin: I own a domain
[17:04] <gulzar> minixvbox: yup warened him
[17:04] <Zaitzev> and I mean a vhost
[17:04] <s1cre> Lamah Detector Activated!!
[17:04] <s1cre> Searching.......
[17:04] <escott> nishttal2, generally not recommended in the linux community to use bios raid. you would be advised to use mdadm which has the flexibility you want
[17:04] <s1cre> Searching......
[17:04] <qwe123> so no gnome 3 for 10.04?
[17:04] <minixvbox> qwe123: 10.04 doesn't support gnome3
[17:04] <gulzar> qwe123: 10.04 is using gnome 2 as base not gnome3 so libs, dependencies and apps are different and your system will break
[17:04] <pangolin> Zaitzev: if you mean will it use @zaitzev.com, yes provided the server you install znc is configured to use that domain.
[17:05] <qwe123> minivboxok.. minimum i need to have is 11.10?
[17:05] <nishttal2> escott, i thought the hardware RAID would be better performance wise
[17:05] <minixvbox> qwe123: yes
[17:05] <nishttal2> escott, I paid extra for onboard raid!!!
[17:05] <escott> nishttal2, true hardware raid is different from bios raid, and historically has been more expensive. its usually not built into the motherboard
[17:06] <Zaitzev> pangolin: the domain I own is administered on a remote location, but I have added a dns record to my ip
[17:06] <gulzar> qwe123: install 11.10 or wait for 12.04 .. 12.04 is long term support (LTS) so you can enjoy updates for 5 yrs and also gnome shell + unity
[17:06] <SimpleLady> can someone help me please?I try to adjust microphone at netbook and it doesn't work :(
[17:06] <nishttal2> escott, ok so i should not select the raid option then?
[17:06] <qwe123> gulzar: can i directly go to 12.04 from 10.04?
[17:06] <pangolin> Zaitzev: ok, so you install znc to that server and it will work. check out http://wiki.znc.in/ZNC for more info.
[17:06] <gulzar> qwe123:  I will suggest ..wait for 12..04
[17:06] <SimpleLady> here the info from alsa : http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=da843ed0e4b3b4fb79a5dea028e45eff7144a847
[17:06] <minixvbox> qwe123: yes, when it is released
[17:07] <nishttal2> theadmin, minixvbox, gulzar, escott ok going to format and install xubuntu.. see you shortly
[17:07] <minixvbox> nishttal2: have fun
[17:07] <escott> nishttal2, https://raid.wiki.kernel.org/
[17:07] <gulzar> qwe123: yes you can ... when 12.04 will be released you can download and intall. and also your update manager will tell you about new realese but don't isntall with update manger. go for freash intall. 12.04 wil be realesed in April
[17:07] <SimpleLady> anyone help please guys ? :)
[17:08] <gulzar> nishttal2: OK
[17:08] <link_> om
[17:08] <qwe123> gulzar: but that will be like reinstalling the os right? i will be losing all my data?
[17:08] <gulzar> qwe123: no you will not..
[17:08] <minixvbox> qwe123: backup your data then
[17:08] <SimpleLady> sorry about the spam but can someone help me please?I try to adjust microphone at netbook and it doesn't work :( here the link for info from alsa : http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=da843ed0e4b3b4fb79a5dea028e45eff7144a847
[17:09] <SimpleLady> anyone please? :(
[17:09] <gulzar> qwe123: if you have separate /home then no need to format it.. just tell you installer about the mount point. and do not touch other partitons and only format the / mout point.
[17:09] <sythe> Wait
[17:09] <sythe> Be patient, simplelady
[17:09] <gulzar> qwe123: if /home is not separte then you need backup
[17:10] <SimpleLady> sythe: ok but I didn't think that someone saw my question
[17:10] <qwe123> gulzar: what do u mean by differnt /home? i have a folder named /home
[17:10] <gulzar> qwe123: good thing is 12.04 is LTS so it will be supported for 5 yr. YOu only have to format once and enjoy for 5yr :)
[17:10] <minixvbox> qwe123: he is talking about seperate partitions
[17:10] <qwe123> gulzar: ok then i will wait till april:)
[17:11] <gulzar> qwe123: open gnome-disk-utility and see if /home is a spearate partitoin or incuded in / ..
[17:11] <gulzar> qwe123: yup.. try to learn command line and also try other distros on separte machine or pendrive. Learn and enjoy :)
[17:11] <qwe123> let me check
[17:13] <qwe123> gulzar: i cudnt find gnome-disk-utility but there is gparted
[17:13] <gulzar> qwe123: use it
[17:13] <madsj> I have a problem with openbox since I upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10 a couple of days ago; the debian menu is not present
[17:14] <qwe123> gulzar: how do i find whether i have a separate partition? should i tell u all the partitions?
[17:14] <aaGp> madsj: that disappear
[17:14] <gulzar> qwe123: wait
[17:14] <gulzar> qwe123: let me check
[17:15] <escott> qwe123, it may be quicker to open a terminal and type "mount" and see if anything is listed as being mounted on /home
[17:15] <qwe123> escott: ok
[17:15] <gulzar> qwe123: is there any app like "disk utility" . PLease see again.. If not then we will use simple command
[17:16] <escott> qwe123, if you see something like: /dev/sda3 on /home type .... then you have a /home partition
[17:16] <gulzar> escott: nice.. I thought of not puting him on CLI
[17:17] <gulzar> qwe123: anything?
[17:17] <escott> gulzar, you never know what will be easier for someone, CLI or GUI. usually i just see if one starts to go bad and then try the other
[17:17] <dlentz> SimpleLady, you need at least ALSA 1.0.24
[17:17] <dlentz> https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-audio-dev/+archive/alsa-daily
[17:17] <qwe123> gulzar:gvfs-fuse-daemon on home
[17:17] <qwe123> gulzar: nothing else
[17:18] <gulzar> escott: agree
[17:18] <th1ta> good firewall for ubuntu 10.10?
[17:18] <SimpleLady> dlentz: so I need to update?
[17:18] <dlentz> yes, use that ppa i linked
[17:18] <th1ta> i use gufw
[17:18] <qwe123> gulzar: dev/sd3 on media/
[17:18] <pangolin> !ufw | th1ta
[17:18] <gulzar> qwe123: mine show /home like this: /dev/sda4 on /home type ext4 (rw,relatime,user_xattr,acl,barrier=1,data=ordered)
[17:18] <escott> qwe123, so you have gvfs-fuse-daemon on /home/yourusername/.gvfs but thats it
[17:18] <th1ta> i think i stay in ufw
[17:18] <th1ta> thks
[17:19] <madsj> and for some annoying reason, every time I run aptitude, emacs needs to be reconfigured
[17:19] <madsj> I did the upgrade without the X server running (bad idea, in hindsight)
[17:19] <qwe123> gulzar:thats it
[17:19] <SimpleLady> dlentz: and do you think that all?
[17:19] <qwe123> escott: yeah thats it
[17:19] <iku-iku> hi
[17:19] <dlentz> SimpleLady, it should be all you need (newer alsa kernel module0
[17:20] <madsj> aaGp: yes, it disappeared, but the file is installed
[17:20] <escott> qwe123, then you do NOT have a separate /home, and you need to backup before reinstalling
[17:20] <gulzar> qwe123: see all the /dev/* either there should be / and /home along with other partitons or there should be no /home. If no /home then /home is not separte
[17:20] <gulzar> qwe123: backup /home folder before reinstall
[17:21] <gulzar> qwe123: for backup simply copy or can also use "rsync"
[17:21] <madsj> under /var/lib/openbox/debian-menu.xml
[17:21] <mlpokn> Guys, How can I add this at startup? echo 3 > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
[17:21] <qwe123> gulzar, escott: but what about the softwares i installed in 10.04? will they get auto updated or will they get removed from the system?
[17:22] <iku-iku> i've been trying to change the login screen, with both gksu gedit /etc/lightdm/unity-greeter.conf and simple light dm manager but it just changed to black... thanks foir your help
[17:22] <dr_willis> mlpokn,  you could put it in /etc/rc.local
[17:22] <escott> mlpokn, add it to /etc/rc.local and make that file executable
[17:22] <escott> !clone | qwe123
[17:22] <mlpokn> I did that guys. It does not work. the brightness maxes out at startup
[17:23] <santoshfamily> hello everyone !
[17:23] <SimpleLady> dlentz: I am using PulseAudio =/
[17:23] <dr_willis> mlpokn,  have a sleep command in rc.local befor the command perhaps. Or it could be X is somehow changeing it when X starts up.
[17:23] <dlentz> SImpleLady, it does not matter
[17:23] <mlpokn> echo 3 > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
[17:23] <mlpokn> xbackligth = 30
[17:23] <mlpokn> exit 0
[17:23] <mlpokn> What is a sleep command? I am new to linux
[17:23] <SimpleLady> dlentz: ok thanks I will try it latter
[17:24] <dr_willis> mlpokn,  you may want to tell us exactly what you are trying to do/fix.
[17:24] <dlentz> yw
[17:24] <santoshfamily> is there any appliction to install  tar.gz package ?
[17:24] <qwe123> escott: what was that? I didnt get you
[17:24] <gulzar> qwe123: removed.. when reinstall. BUT if you are reinstalling same linux lets say 10.04 for some reason first backup the cache of apt-get . in it there are all the downloaded apps if you have not used {sudo apt-get autoremove} and simply copy that cache in new install then you don't have to redownload all apps. But if installing new or used {sudo apt-get autoremove} then everything is lost
[17:24] <escott> mlpokn, sleep does nothing for the specified number of seconds and then returns
[17:24] <dr_willis> santoshfamily,  since a tar.gx is just an archive and could BE anything.. Not really.
[17:24] <escott> mlpokn, does the acpi_backlight change when you run that from a sudo -i shell?
[17:24] <mlpokn> dr_willis. Every time I start the laptop my brightness sets to max
[17:25] <escott> qwe123, if you plan to reinstall follow the instructions in !clone to extract the current list of installed programs so you can easily reinstall them later
[17:25] <dr_willis> mlpokn,   it could be your desktop settings are set that way. and thus setting them to max.
[17:25] <mlpokn> escott, if I run echo 3 > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness, it changes to 30%.
[17:25] <Gage_> apt-get doesn't work, ubuntu software center says check your internet connection, but it obviously works fine, cuz I'm on here.
[17:25] <qwe123> escott: ok
[17:25] <dr_willis> you could make a script or run that after you login to X.
[17:26] <mlpokn> =)
[17:26] <gulzar> qwe123: if you are low on disk space use {sudo apt-get autoremove} this will clear cache and claim disk space but your downlaoded packages will be lost
[17:26] <escott> mlpokn, perhaps X is changing the brightness. make a script and put it in /usr/local/bin. chown it to root:root, and chmod 755 the script, and chmod u+s the script
[17:27] <iku-iku> i've been trying to change the login screen, with both gksu gedit /etc/lightdm/unity-greeter.conf and simple light dm manager but it just changed to black... thanks for your help
[17:27] <escott> mlpokn, then you can add that script to your gnome-session-startup
[17:27] <qwe123> gulzar: no i have enough diskspace but is being lazy to install all the softwares again
[17:27] <mlpokn> Yeah. Sure. But I am a n00bster :))) thanks anyway
[17:27] <iku-iku> if sb could help me that would be great :(
[17:29] <mlpokn> escott. How can I make a script?
[17:29] <escott> mlpokn, put the commands you put in rc.local into a file and make the first line of the file #!/bin/bash
[17:29] <dr_willis> mlpokn,  there are indicator-applets that let you controll screen brightness also.
[17:30] <mlpokn> hmm
[17:30] <iku-iku> T_____T
[17:30] <gulzar> qwe123: if want to have complete backup .. lets say you want to give you sys to your firend or to copy it on other PC or a backup for emregency then use "rsync" and also use "remastersys ". remastersys  wil create an iso of installed sys so you can use it anytime as live or to install :)
[17:30] <dr_willis> or i just use my laptops special fn keys. :)
[17:30] <Gage_> So, could someone help with my problem, please?
[17:30] <iku-iku> ha you to Gage =D
[17:30] <dr_willis> The Powersettings/savings may have some brightness controlls also
[17:30] <Gage_> Mm.
[17:30] <iku-iku> nobody wants to help you either?
[17:31] <Gage_> dr_willis: same thing I do
[17:31] <mlpokn> escott. Like this?
[17:31] <escott> Gage_, what does it say when you try apt-get update
[17:31] <mlpokn> #!/bin/bash
[17:31] <mlpokn> echo 3 > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
[17:31] <mlpokn> xbackligth = 30
[17:31] <FloodBot1> mlpokn: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:31] <dr_willis> mlpokn,  that command is totally wrong I belive....
[17:31] <escott> mlpokn, yes but im not sure what that xbackligth = 30 line is for
[17:31] <Gage_> sec, I'll pastebin
[17:31] <luke_c> Hi. I've installed ubuntu 11.10 on my satellite pro laptop. However, the touchpad randomly stops working. Do you have any suggestions as to how I can fix this?
[17:31] <dr_willis> mlpokn,  whats this xbacklight=30 thing?
[17:31] <mlpokn> Is to set the backlight to 30% using the xbacklight app.
[17:32] <mlpokn> it's*
[17:32] <dr_willis> the command uses a = ? thats rather.. odd
[17:32] <mlpokn> it does
[17:32] <dr_willis> you did spell it right?
[17:32] <dr_willis> ;)
[17:32] <mlpokn> yes
[17:32] <escott> mlpokn, (a) environment variables dont work that way (b) thats not what is happening. the first command is changing the backlight level (c) if you have an app why not use it
 xbackligth = 30
[17:33] <Gage_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/868551/
[17:33] <Gage_> ^
 D-Link_Connection_Manager.tar.gz   how to install it ?
[17:33] <dr_willis> santoshfamily_,  its an archive.. open it up and look at whats inside. and any readme files.
[17:33]  * gulzar good night
[17:33] <dr_willis> santoshfamily_,  what is it for exactly?
[17:34] <santoshfamily_> yes it contai readme file !
[17:34] <luke_c> I've been looking through the erros logs, but I can't find anything.
[17:34] <santoshfamily_> it is a modem ?
[17:34] <dr_willis> santoshfamily_,  I dont know.. Is it?
[17:34] <Gage_> So...?
[17:35] <escott> Gage_, do you have some kind of http_proxy set? check "env | grep proxy"
[17:35] <dr_willis> most hardware drivers are included in ubuntu/linux - with a few exceptions for wireless, or video drivers that may need installed from  the repos. You rarely need to get tar.gz stuff from sites
[17:35] <velko> Gage_, or have you tinkered with /etc/hosts?
[17:35] <escott> Gage_, do "env | grep -i proxy"
[17:35] <luke_c> I'm not sure, but I think that it might be a fault with the kernel, since sudo cat /dev/input/mice and sudo cat /dev/input/mouse0 don't display anything.
[17:35] <Gage_> Well, I just uninstalled the tor daemon
[17:36] <Gage_> so
[17:36] <santoshfamily_> needed dependencies installed (qt3, wvdial1.5.6 or newer). How i can install them ?
[17:36] <Gage_> gage@derptop:~$ env | grep proxy http_proxy=http://localhost:8123/ ftp_proxy=ftp://localhost:8123/ https_proxy=https://localhost:8123/ gage@derptop:~$
[17:36] <escott> Gage_, well thats the problem. its trying to route the apt traffic over tor
[17:36] <dr_willis> tor requires you to use a proxy to get to the tor service i belive.
[17:36] <dr_willis> !info wvdial
[17:36] <Gage_> So how do I set it to not use a proxy?
[17:36] <escott> Gage_, you could: (a) unset http_proxy and unset https_proxy before running apt (b) figure out how to get apt to use the tor proxy (but why?)
[17:36] <Wooden_Android> when i start to intall ubuntu, i have no wireless connection, and it says wireless is turned off, and clicking it to turn it on does absolutely nothing, what can i do?
[17:37] <lnxslck> my ubuntu doesn' show all ram memory, what could cause this?
[17:37] <dr_willis> !ram | lnxslck
[17:37] <ikonia> lnxslck: how much ram do you have ?
[17:37] <lnxslck> in windows it shows all 4gb
[17:37] <lnxslck> ikonia, 4g
[17:37] <venon> hi
[17:37] <lnxslck> ikonia, meminfo shows MemTotal:        2751208 kB
[17:37] <lnxslck> MemFree:          161932 kB
[17:37] <ikonia> lnxslck: are you using the 64bit OS ?
[17:37] <lnxslck> ikonia, nope
[17:37] <ikonia> lnxslck: there you go then
[17:38] <lnxslck> ikonia, only ubuntu 64 will show all 4gb of ram?
[17:38] <ikonia> lnxslck: correct
[17:38] <dr_willis> even with exctly 4gb. I think there can be some thats reserved for specific hardware, From what i recall reading
[17:38] <escott> lnxslck, the graphics card memory needs to be addressable so it grabs some of the 32bit memory space and hides your ram
[17:38] <Gage_> still doesn't work, did unset http_proxy, unset https_proxy and unset ftp_proxy
[17:38] <dr_willis> depends on the eact hardware
[17:38] <venon> Does anyone know how install unity3d on ubuntu 10.10 ?
[17:38] <lnxslck> ikonia, ubuntu 32bits shows only 2 gb and uses only that?
[17:38] <ikonia> venon: I don't believe it's available
[17:38] <escott> lnxslck, you can lose upwards of 2gb of 32bit addressable space just for that
[17:38] <ikonia> lnxslck: no it should show just over 3GB
[17:39] <mlpokn> escott: added #!/bin/bash to rc.local, above all commands. It still does not work
[17:39] <venon> ikonia : hmm
[17:39] <escott> mlpokn, did you chown the script to root and make is setuid?
[17:39] <Gage_> halp.
[17:39] <mlpokn> I don't know how to do that
[17:39] <santoshfamily_> how to change the current working directory  in setup script i.e install.sh ?
[17:39] <dr_willis> mlpokn,  you may want to pastebin your rc.local and script.
[17:39] <mlpokn> ok
[17:39] <luke_c> I'm quite happy to compile the kernel manually, but I've never done it on ubuntu before, and I'd like to exhaust all of the other options first. Does anyone have any suggestions?
[17:39] <lnxslck> ikonia, escott , if meminfo shows MemTotal:        2751208 kB, that says that ubuntu is using only 2.7 gb of ram, right?
[17:39] <escott> Gage_, im not familiar with tor. double check with echo $HTTP_PROXY that the variables are unset
[17:39] <dr_willis> mlpokn,  why are we doing this via a script and not using the powermanager tools.applets?
[17:40] <ikonia> lnxslck: please show me the output of the command "free -m" in a pastebin
[17:40] <Gage_> k
[17:40] <mlpokn> Here http://pastie.org/3519972
[17:40] <Gage_> Blank
[17:40] <jackotheshadow> Can anybody help me figure out how to install stuff on xubuntu? The software center apparently doesn't work, and idk how else I can install anything
[17:40] <ikonia> jackotheshadow: it does work
[17:40] <zykotick9> jackotheshadow: "sudo apt-get install FOO"
[17:40] <theadmin> jackotheshadow: Try Synaptic
[17:40] <escott> lnxslck, that is the physical ram addressable from userspace. since you have more ram and hardware addressable dma ram than you can address it is 4GB less the hardware DMA (mostly graphics card but others as well) less a little bit for the kernel itself
[17:40] <lnxslck> ikonia, http://pastebin.com/MT5krfZf
[17:40] <velko> Gage_, and what does apt-get says now?
[17:40] <luke_c> jacktheshadow: open a terminal, type in sudo apt-get install '
[17:41] <dr_willis> jackotheshadow,  sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade,   and then try software center again, or do 'sudo apt-get install whateveritisyouwant'
[17:41] <mlpokn> dr_willis , rc.local http://pastie.org/3519972
[17:41] <Gage_> apt-get says the same thing as it did in the paste
[17:41] <lnxslck> escott, you would recomend moving up to ubuntu 64 bits?
[17:41] <venon> is unity 3d available on wine ?
[17:41] <escott> lnxslck, yes
[17:41] <jlb181> Curious...Windows doesn't show all 4 G either unless it is using 64 bit, does it?
[17:41] <escott> lnxslck, the alternative would be 32bit + pae but 64bit is better
[17:41] <jackotheshadow> I'm very new to linux, and I don't know anythign about using sudo commands
[17:42] <Gage_> Windows 7 x86 shows all 4 gb of ram on my desktop.
[17:42] <dr_willis> mlpokn,  what does the command 'which xbacklight' say?  and in your script ---> xbackligth = 30       You still have a typo i mentioned earlier
[17:42] <Daekdroom> Windows 7 has PAE enabled.
[17:42] <Daekdroom> I think XP doesn't
[17:42] <theadmin> jackotheshadow: sudo apt-get install synaptic (and then look for synaptic in the menus)
[17:42] <zykotick9> venon: is a gnu/linux DE available on wine?  that doesn't make sense?
[17:42] <escott> lnxslck, you will have to reinstall (fyi when you go to 64bit it will show just a little bit less than 4gb because of the kernels usage)
[17:42] <Gage_> I was like lol wat, but it still says so
[17:42] <Martin_> Hi, I have mounted an ntfs partition with rwx for all users but I can't run any file, I get this error "No such file or directory" even if I am in the folder and just write ./filename
[17:42] <lnxslck> escott, i see
[17:42] <shaneo> hey guys how could i add a python script to cron for auto start at login
[17:42] <ikonia> lnxslck: I'd suggest booting from an install cd and running the "memcheck" option
[17:43] <mlpokn> dr_willis /usr/bin/xbacklight ... what is the typo? I can't figure out, lol
[17:43] <dr_willis> Martin_,  in linux Case is imporntant. whats the file anyway?
[17:43] <lnxslck> escott, is ubuntu 64 working fine? no more issues with flash plugin and such?
[17:43] <mlpokn> lol
[17:43] <escott> lnxslck, on my 64bit system i loose 24*8 MB of ram to the kernel
[17:43] <mlpokn> yeah
[17:43] <mlpokn> I see now
[17:43] <mlpokn> :))|
[17:43] <FloodBot1> mlpokn: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:43] <Gage_> So
[17:43] <erespond> am need install back phpmyadmin, couse am forget all password to login phpmyadmin any body can support ???
[17:43] <Gage_> Halp?
[17:43] <ikonia> shaneo: cron isn't a login process, it has nothing to do with starting at login
[17:43] <lnxslck> escott, that's a few
[17:43] <jen_> question
[17:43] <Martin_> dr_willis is a linux executable, I just copied the folder from an ext4 partition to a ntfs partition
[17:43] <ikonia> lnxslck: I'd be more concerned with validating your ram - boot from a livecd and run the memcheck option, see how much ram is seen
[17:43] <shaneo> ikonia, so what would be the best method
[17:44] <dr_willis> Martin_,  do a ls -l FILENAME and see what its permissions are.
[17:44] <venon> hey , please how i run xp when i first install ubuntu and after paralel xp ? from botmenu it doesnt work.......
[17:44] <shaneo> ikonia, i put 0 0 */2 * * /home/shaneo/my-sickbeard-install/Sickbeard.py
[17:44] <shaneo>  in cron will it work?
[17:44] <ikonia> !sessions | shaneo
[17:44] <escott> lnxslck, ive been happily using 64bit for years, never had serious issues, but things are a bit nicer with multiarch
[17:44] <ikonia> shaneo: that's useless, that will run at a set time, not when you log in
[17:44] <shaneo> !sessions
[17:44] <zykotick9> Martin_: dr_willis NTFS (and FAT) don't support POSIX permissions
[17:44] <jen_> everytime I boot ubuntu when it starts up it has a little not quit a glitch but a fuzzy space that is there for maybe a split second, it makes the popping noise and it goes to the ubuntu startup
[17:44] <Martin_> dr_willis -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root
[17:44] <lnxslck> escott, multiarch? running 32 bits also on ubuntu 64?
[17:44] <jen_> does that mean my graphics card is going bad?
[17:44] <dr_willis> zykotick9,  but you can force ALL files to be executable.
[17:44] <escott> lnxslck, http://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch in 11.10 and up
[17:45] <dr_willis> Martin_,  so whats the files name?
[17:45] <lnxslck> ikonia, i think my memory is fine, it's a new laptop, and on windows it shows the memory just fine
[17:45] <erpo> jen_: Not necessarily. Are you getting crashes?
[17:45] <thelodger> jackotheshadow: go to Applications > Accessories > Terminal and enter in the commands mentioned above by the others, the sudo command is telling your machine that the commands are to be given free rein on your machine
[17:45] <ikonia> lnxslck: that's not why I'm telling you to validate it
[17:45] <jen_> I do not get crashes
[17:45] <jen_> it always has done that
[17:45] <Martin_> dr_willis -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16815665 2012-01-11 21:34 X-Plane-i686
[17:45] <erpo> jen_: You're probably good.
[17:45] <shaneo> ikonia, so maybe $HOME/folder/ python Script.py in startup applications
[17:45] <zykotick9> dr_willis: that wasn't "really" directed at you, just wanted you to be aware it was NTFS
[17:45] <ikonia> lnxslck: run the memcheck too
[17:45] <ikonia> tool
[17:45] <dr_willis> Martin_,  so whats the exact ./whatever you are using?
[17:45] <jen_> okay thats what I thought but wasnt sure if anyone else had that problem
[17:45] <Orsb> Hi, I had problem with my boot and I tried to fix my grub from a live cd. However, it seems that the problem is even worse now. Could anyone assist me with this?
[17:45] <ikonia> lnxslck: showing memory as a number and having available physical memory are two differnt things, validate your ram with memcheck
[17:45] <lnxslck> ikonia, i will
[17:45] <ikonia> shaneo: sounds better
[17:46] <santoshfamily_> how to install qt3 ?
[17:46] <erpo> jen_: If you're really worried, run a stress test with a big game or post a video on youtube.
[17:46] <ikonia> santoshfamily_: it's dead
[17:46] <thelodger> jackotheshadow: What was Software Center saying when it didn't work?
[17:46] <lnxslck> escott, what programs do you use that require 32 bits ?
[17:46] <jen_> okay
[17:46] <shaneo> ikonia, ok thanks
[17:46] <dr_willis> santoshfamily_,  any app that needs qt3 these days. is rather out of date
[17:46] <jackotheshadow> Ok. So, I've tried entering the sudo commands in the terminal, and I get a lot of output that I don't understand. But it does say the flash plugin was not installed, and something about i386 not being configured
[17:46] <Martin_> dr_willis I can't even do ./X-Plane-i686
[17:46] <dougl> I finnally got to connect to my vnc server but now it just looks like a raw x session... how can I just see my normal desktop thru a vnc connection?
[17:46] <mlpokn> dr_willis. Fixed the typo, but still not working
[17:46] <escott> lnxslck, skype? im not even sure. i don't pay much attention to the split these days, which is how it should be
[17:47] <dr_willis> Martin_,  whats the exact error?
[17:47] <lnxslck> escott, true
[17:47] <jackotheshadow> Software center either simply shows a frowny face or says i386 is the wrong architecture
[17:47] <dr_willis> mlpokn,  it coule be X is overrideing your rc.local settings. that would be my guess.
[17:47] <santoshfamily_> then qt4 ?
[17:47] <lnxslck> escott, the same applications you have on ubuntu 32 bits you have on ubuntu 64 bits?
[17:47] <Martin_> dr_willis bash: ./X-Plane-i686: No such file or directory
[17:47] <mlpokn> dr_willis. I am using Lubuntu, if that makes a difference
[17:47] <dr_willis> santoshfamily_,  why do you even think you need to install that tar.gz?
[17:48] <dr_willis> mlpokn,  it has settings for brightness somewhere i imagine.
[17:48] <escott> lnxslck, no i run 64bit. but if there is something that is 32bit its trivial to install it these days
[17:48] <FoolsRun> Hey, I have a question about JBOD concatenation: What happens when you break the "array"? Are the disks readable separately?
[17:48] <escott> FoolsRun, probably not
[17:48] <dr_willis> Martin_,  as a test. try copying that file to your home, also check 'file X-Plane-i686' to see what it thinks that file is.
[17:48] <santoshfamily_> then tell me how i can , unless i fulfill all requirement i cant think of it ?
[17:48] <zykotick9> escott: when you get zsnes working on 64bit let me know ;)
[17:49] <mlpokn> dr_willis. The brightness buttons off my keyboard are working, but it's annoying that every time I start the pc the brightness is maxed out
[17:49] <dr_willis> santoshfamily_,  im not even clear on why you need it.
[17:49] <dr_willis> mlpokn,  so put those commands in a shell script like was suggested earlier.
[17:49] <erespond> am need install back phpmyadmin, couse am forget all password to login phpmyadmin any body can support ???
[17:49] <mlpokn> dr_willis. how do I do that?
[17:50] <Martin_> dr_willis in ext4 works fine, using file command I get:   X-Plane-i686: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.8, not stripped
[17:50] <dr_willis> mlpokn,  im not even sure why you are needing both commands. dosent the 2nd one work by itself?
[17:50] <santoshfamily_> because in readme it is written that it needed that dependencies
[17:50] <erespond> dr_willis, am forget phpmyadmin login and i reinstall that, so am still can't used new password how i do?
[17:50] <erespond> dr_willis, am forget phpmyadmin login and i reinstall that, so am still can't used new password how i do?
[17:50] <dr_willis> mlpokn,  make a file. add the commands. save it..  rember the #!/bin/bash stuff mentioned earlier.
[17:50] <dr_willis> erespond,  no idea.
[17:50] <shaneo> ikonia: no luck with adding the line to startup applications any other suggestions
[17:50] <Wooden_Android> when i start to intall ubuntu, i have no wireless connection, and it says wireless is turned off, and clicking it to turn it on does absolutely nothing, what can i do?
[17:50] <erespond> am forget phpmyadmin login and i reinstall that, so am still can't used new password how i do?
[17:51] <escott> mlpokn, part of the confusion is that there are two ways to modify the backlight. one would be to use a command like xbacklight 30 which uses the xbacklight helper program. the other interfaces directly with files in /sys and uses echo and requires root privs. its unclear to us what one you are trying to use, but you should only need one
[17:52] <cowboydren> Has anyone had trouble with the 386 alternate installer lately? I'm installing on a netbook with an unsupported video chipset, and it keeps failing during tasksel.
[17:52] <mlpokn> escott. I tried the both, one by one, NONE work
[17:52] <santoshfamily_> now plz anybody tell me how to install qt4 ?
[17:52] <dr_willis> mlpokn,  http://pastie.org/3520064
[17:52] <escott> mlpokn, tried them when and how? they work in different ways and in different scenarios
[17:52] <erespond> please
[17:52] <lnxslck> ubuntu and kubuntu are the same thing regarding the packages? the source of the debs?
[17:52] <jackotheshadow> how do I respond to people?
[17:52] <dr_willis> santoshfamily_,  install any kde app and it will install qt4 with it.
[17:52] <shaneo> ikonia, n/m figured it out way simpler than i was assuming
[17:52] <minixvbox> santoshfamily_: what are you trying to install that need it?
[17:53] <dr_willis> santoshfamily_,  sudo apt-get install k3b (if you like to burn cds)
[17:53] <xangua> lnxslck: yes
[17:53] <zykotick9> lnxslck: *buntu get there packages from the same place/repo
[17:53] <mlpokn> dr_willis. That's what I did, it does not work, unless I manually run the commands from terminal
[17:53] <escott> mlpokn, if you are logged into the gui then start a terminal and type xbacklight 50 and see if it changes the brightness
[17:53] <lnxslck> ok
[17:53] <Gage_> So I never got any help.
[17:53] <lnxslck> because i install kubuntu and then ubuntu desktop
[17:53] <dr_willis> mlpokn,  try running the script with gksudo perhaps
[17:53] <Gage_> Apt-get still doesn't work, says there is no proxy
[17:53] <santoshfamily_> a tar.gz  of modem !
[17:53] <lnxslck> that way i get gnome and kde still lokks good
[17:54] <lnxslck> no bad gtk themes
[17:54] <mlpokn> escott. The commands work manually, but not from rc.local
[17:54] <Martin_> dr_willis in ext4 works fine, using file command I get:   X-Plane-i686: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.8, not stripped
[17:54] <neur0t0xin> Hello, anyone know what to do about screwed-up locales after trying to downgrade libc6 & libc-bin? Whenever I try to reinstall locales or libc they just refer to eachother and refuse to be fixed
[17:54] <zykotick9> Gage_: do you need a proxy for regular net access?
[17:54] <minixvbox> santoshfamily_: that makes no sense
[17:54] <Gage_> No
[17:54] <escott> mlpokn, xbacklight will NOT work in rc.local because it is an X11 program (the starting x is a giveaway) and X11 is not running at the time rc.local is started
[17:54] <dr_willis> minixvbox,  thats what ive been telling him.
[17:54] <santoshfamily_> why  bro ?
[17:55] <dr_willis> santoshfamily_,  why do you think you need it?
[17:55] <minixvbox> santoshfamily_: why would a modem driver ever require qt4?
[17:55] <mlpokn> escott. ok, but the other one, why doesn't it work?
[17:55] <venon> shit
[17:55] <ArcherNX01> Is Linux Mint any good?
[17:55] <escott> mlpokn, the echo should work in rc.local if the path to the /sys file is correct but its harder to run that manually because you have to sudo to get permissions to modify /sys files
[17:55] <xangua> !mint | ArcherNX01
[17:55] <dr_willis> ArcherNX01,  ot for here.. and id avoide it.
[17:56] <venon> how i run xp when i first install ubuntu ....
[17:56] <jackotheshadow> thelodger: Software center either simply shows a frowny face or says i386 is the wrong architecture
[17:56] <dr_willis> venon,  'run xp' meaning?
[17:56] <venon> y
[17:56] <santoshfamily_> i donot know bro but it is written or i should publish it so that all my frnds can read it and them it might be help ful !
[17:56] <Gage_> ..
[17:56] <mlpokn> escott. like I said. If I open the terminal and paste that echo stuff in, it changes my brightness, I don't have to write SUDO before it
[17:56] <venon> dr_willis : y
[17:57] <escott> mlpokn, type "whoami"
[17:57] <dr_willis> santoshfamily_,  you are wanting to install this .tar.gz and you have no idea why you are needing it?
[17:57] <dr_willis> venon,  'y' is not an answer to my question.
[17:57] <mlpokn> escott. yeah, it;s my username
[17:57] <mlpokn> not root or anything
[17:57] <minixvbox> santoshfamily_: maybe people could help you better if you told them what modem you are trying to get working
[17:57] <Orsb> Hi, I need some help with grub, I am totally clueless
[17:57] <escott> mlpokn, that should not be working without root privs AFAIK
[17:57] <joebodo> possibly has sudo all permissions
[17:57] <santoshfamily_> than plz tell how i can install it ?
[17:58] <venon> dr_willis : from botmenu it doesnt work
[17:58] <dr_willis> santoshfamily_,  odds are its not needed/allready installed or in the  repos.
[17:58] <joebodo> (nah - that won't do it)
[17:58] <dr_willis> venon,  you should be a bit more verbose in your statements.. You mean "XP is in my grub menu, but selecting it fails to boot XP properly' >? or 'XP is NOT in my grub menu, how do i add it?"
[17:58] <venon> dr_willis : I installed xp parallel to ubuntu
[17:59] <venon> XP is NOT in my grub menu, how do i add it?"
[17:59] <dr_willis> venon,  rerun 'sudo update-grub'
[17:59] <mlpokn> escott. I remember now. I was getting a "Permission denied " error when I was trying to set the brightness, so I've found a command on Arch Wiki like: "something myusername /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness"
[17:59] <Gage_> zykotick9: No.
[18:00] <dr_willis> it pays to ask a clear question. :)
[18:00] <escott> mlpokn, christ-almighty thats a terrible terrible idea
[18:00] <thelodger> jackotheshadow: You probably installed the 64 bit version of Xubuntu so. I'm guessing that the program you're trying to install is only for 32bit, might suggest taking a look for the other version?
[18:00] <venon> dr_willis : and than ?
[18:00] <escott> mlpokn, and the something was "chown"
[18:00] <venon> *then
[18:00] <santoshfamily_> 3.75G HSUPA USB ADAPTER DWM-156 D-Link modem !
[18:00] <mlpokn> escott; this is it
[18:00] <mlpokn>  sudo chown <usrname> /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
[18:00] <ganz> hi
[18:01] <ganz> where can i find a complete documentation for the command notify-send?
[18:01] <ganz> for example the list of notification categories or some use of the option --hint
[18:01] <escott> mlpokn, i would sudo chown root:root /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness and do this properly by making a setuid script
[18:01] <Gage_> Make me a sammich
[18:01] <venon> dr_willis : when i rerun this command what then
[18:02] <mlpokn> escott; back to normal. permission denied. I will reboot now to see if that was the problem
[18:02] <dr_willis> venon,  did you notice it saying  it was adding a windows/xp line.. you could just reboot and see if it worked.
[18:02] <jackotheshadow> thelodger: ok, thanks. I'll look into it
[18:02] <Orsb> dr_willis: you seem to be an expert in grub matters, and I am totally lost because I cannot boot
[18:02] <dr_willis> Orsb,  all i know is from what ive read from dozens of sources. :)
[18:03] <dr_willis> Orsb,  You get no grub menu? or  what do you mean exactly.
[18:03] <Orsb> dr_willis: no, only my windows option displays. I have booted by the live cd now
[18:04] <dr_willis> Orsb,  check out the fixgrub wiki page and how to install that fix-boot gui tool. (i think thats the name)
[18:04] <dr_willis> !fixgrub
[18:04] <luke_c> Hi. I've installed ubuntu 11.10 on my satellite pro laptop. However, the touchpad randomly stops working. There are no error messages in my logs. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can fix this?
[18:05] <donal> when I installed tomcat7, a tomcat7 user was created. When tomcat runs, this is the user account it runs under. However, the home dir for tomcat was created with these permissions drwxr-xr-x   4 root root  4096 Mar  4 15:10 tomcat7
[18:05] <dr_willis> boot-repair tool is what its called Orsb  --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
[18:05] <donal> which means tomcat can't write to it's own home dir, why would the home dir be created with such odd permissions?
[18:05] <Orsb> dr_willis: I have tried that but did not help!
[18:05] <mrFrog> anyone here willing to walk me through mounting my ssd? i did it incorrectly and upon booting the server an error like "Serious errors were found while checking the disk drive" showed up.
[18:06] <jpds> donal: Why would you want to write there?
[18:06] <donal> jpds: my application creates persistent files
[18:06] <dr_willis> Orsb,  the urls give other ways to reinstall grub. but boot-repair works for most people.
[18:06] <donal> so I'm trying to put them in the tomcat home dir
[18:06] <auxpete> ??
[18:06] <donal> is that a bad idea?
[18:07] <mlpokn> escott: still not working :\
[18:07] <dr_willis> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2?action=show&redirect=GRUB2#Reinstalling_GRUB2
[18:07] <mauwii> ??
[18:07] <dr_willis> other ways to reinstall grub
[18:07] <nishttal2> ok ppl installed XUbuntu at your advice.. how do i install compiz
[18:07] <helmet> ??
[18:07] <zykotick9> Orsb: following the !grub2 directions for chrooting into your install then run "sudo update-grub"
[18:07] <santoshfamily_> Before installation, make sure you have the needed dependencies installed (qt3, wvdial1.5.6 or newer).
[18:07] <santoshfamily_>  The steps of installation are as following:
[18:07] <santoshfamily_>  - Copy the installation packet "DWM_156_V3.02WW_Lnx.tar.gz" to Desktop or other path;
[18:07] <santoshfamily_>  - extract and get a folder, the folder include following files or folders:
[18:07] <santoshfamily_>     D-Link_Connection_Manager.tar.gz		This is a installition packet;
[18:07] <santoshfamily_>     install.sh		                        This is a setup script;
[18:07] <FloodBot1> santoshfamily_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:07] <minixvbox> !compiz | nishttal2
[18:08] <zykotick9> !paste | santoshfamily_
[18:08] <nishttal2> minixvbox, how do i ensure that proper drivers for my onboard graphics card are installed
[18:08] <dr_willis> santoshfamily_,  so run the install.sh if you really really really want to try to get that installed.. what is your modem not doing? how have you tried to configure it?
[18:08] <_Marcus> Hello
[18:09] <minixvbox> nishttal2: what is your onboard card?
[18:09] <escott> mlpokn, make a script /usr/local/bin/backlight30.sh and put in it #!/bin/bash and the echo command. then run the following: sudo chown root:root /usr/local/bin/backlight30.sh; sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/backlight30.sh; sudo chmod u+s /usr/local/bin/backlight30.sh
[18:09] <nishttal2> Sandy bridge somethign
[18:09] <minixvbox> nishttal2: so intel, that means you don't need to install aanything
[18:09] <Gage_> How can I make it so I can turn my volume all the way up without going to System > Preferences > Sound, and instead using hotkeys? When I use hotkeys the volume goes about halfway up but says it
[18:10] <zykotick9> mlpokn: do you happen to be using an EEEPC?
[18:10] <Gage_> it's all the way up on the icon, but when I go to Sound, I can make it louder..
[18:10] <luke_c> It doesn't look like anyone here has had this sort of problem before. Do you know whereas I could go for help? I've tried ##linux and ##kernel, but I'm not sure where else to ask.
[18:10] <mlpokn> escott. Thanks I will try. zykotick9, no
[18:11] <hypershock> Gage_: that extra bit is actually overdrive, something windows doesn't allow.
[18:11] <Gage_> Wait, what?
[18:11] <santoshfamily_> i donot got any response  after double -click on install.sh !
[18:11] <velko> luke_c,  does it seize to work for a very brief period of time (like 1 sec) or longer?
[18:11] <Gage_> I'm not using windows, I'm using ubuntu 11.04.
[18:12] <zykotick9> mlpokn: doubt it will help then, but booting with kernel option acpi_osi=Linux fixes brightness issues with my EEE
[18:12] <luke_c> It varies. If I don't use it for anything then it doesn't break.
[18:12] <hypershock> Gage_: I threw that in there just in case. but you are meant to go that high with your volume without going that extra effort, because you can blow your speakers at what is happening there.
[18:12] <hypershock> Gage_: are meant == are not meant
[18:13] <Gage_> Okay.
[18:13] <luke_c> It normally last until I've opened a program, but sometimes breaks slightly before or after.
[18:13] <Shojo> hey could anyone tell me why my nick was unregistered? O.o
[18:13] <Gage_> But I can't change it>
[18:13] <Gage_> *?
[18:13] <hypershock> luke_c: i came in late but what was your original question?
[18:13] <luke_c> I've installed ubuntu 11.10 on my satellite pro laptop. However, the touchpad randomly stops working. Do you have any suggestions as to how I can fix this?
[18:13] <velko> luke_c, is it possible that you have enabled "disable touchpad while typing" option in the keyboard preferences. and that is just the lag for the touchpad to be enabled after you have used your keyboard?
[18:13] <hypershock> Gage_: not with the keyboard.
[18:13] <MonkeyDust> luke_c  it's something in the grub menu
[18:13] <Orsb> zykotick9: I have tried ChRooting but got stuck at assemblin the arrays!
[18:13] <Gage_> Okay.
[18:14] <zykotick9> Orsb: RAID?  i can't help, good luck.
[18:14] <mlpokn> ty zykotick9, I'll try that too.
[18:14] <mrFrog> i try to mount a disk with -t ext4, but in the error logs it says "can't find ext4 filesystem". i honestly don't care what filesystem i use, what's best for an ssd storing mysql databases?
[18:14] <hypershock> Gage_: what i do is leave it set at a certain point and use the actual volume control knob on my hardware to control the output.
[18:14] <luke_c> I could have a look. What's the terminal command to open it? (I'm not sure how to navigate unity without a mouse, but I've been opening a terminal straight away)
[18:15] <Gage_> I'm using a netbook, so I don't have a volume control knob. But that's what I do with my desktop.
[18:15] <zykotick9> luke_c: do you have an external USB mouse you could try?  does it work?
[18:15] <luke_c> MonkeyDust: I'm not sure that I follow? What's in the grub menu.
[18:15] <luke_c> Same problem.
[18:15] <lampe2> hey is there a way to NOT group the windows in the window switcher ?
[18:15] <luke_c> Works briefly, then stops.
[18:15] <hypershock> luke_c: *unity* --- hit the super key to bring up the unity dash, then type settings or use tab key to get around.
[18:16] <saquib> n
[18:16] <MonkeyDust> luke_c  something similar to this http://www.multimediaboom.com/touchpad-not-working-in-ubuntu-10-10-maverick-resolve-it/
[18:16] <hypershock> luke_c: by works briefly you mean, after you get to the desktop for about a few seconds it works then stops and doesn't comeback until you restart the desktop session?
[18:17] <Guest88388> hello how i can run wine on eMac PPC Computers i have an Ubuntu 11.04
[18:17] <luke_c> Yes.
[18:18] <Guest88388> how luke_c
[18:18] <Guest88388> ?
[18:18] <hypershock> Guest88388: how can you not? did you try to do it yet?
[18:18] <zykotick9> Guest88388: i believe wine is x86/x86_84 only... could be wrong.
[18:18] <luke_c> But for how long it works varies. Once it stops though, it won't work again until after a restart.
[18:18] <Guest88388> yes i triedit
[18:18] <hypershock> Guest88388: what did it say when you tried?
[18:19] <Guest88388> it doesent can be installed
[18:19] <Guest88388> can i compile it for ppc computers?
[18:20] <zykotick9> Guest88388: looks like no - http://macosx.com/forums/mac-os-x-system-mac-software/312875-wine-ppc-mac.html
[18:20] <hypershock> luke_c: try this as a test, when the desktop starts pay attention to what happens when the mouse stops working. if it is when you hit any key on your keyboard, then it is because you have disable while typing enabled. there is a tool called synaptic and not the one that does the package manager, you want the one for the touchpad control and it'll allow you to manage the touchpad better.
[18:21] <hypershock> luke_c: if i remember right, when it happened to me and before i had my own solution, viciously smacking the spacebar when it happens usually awakens the touchpad.
[18:21] <luke_c> MokeyDust: Googling it, that seems to only apply to sony vaios. I don't get that error.
[18:21] <mrFrog> anyone know how to find out what filesystem types are valid on ubuntu? a command to list what types i can use to mount a disk?
[18:22] <MonkeyDust> luke_c  ok
[18:22] <dr_willis> mrFrog,  there used tobe a /proc/filesystems file i recall that showed whats in the kernel.
[18:22] <hypershock> Guest88388: however, you can consider crossover-mac from codeweavers.com, give their trial a whirl, it may solve your problem.
[18:22] <dr_willis> mrFrog,  cat /proc/filesystems  but its a big list. :)
 hey bro i had pasted  readme  with full detail plz check it out !
[18:22] <zykotick9> mrFrog: "man mount" then find the --types section, it lists supported types
[18:23] <luke_c> Huh. I pressed lots of stuff ctrl+super+space+left+right lots of times, and it starting working for a second or two.
[18:23] <dr_willis> mrFrog,  you using some weird filesystems?
[18:23] <dr_willis> santoshfamily_,  most likely you want to run the sh from a terminal, not double click it.
[18:23] <luke_c> Alright. I'll try that. Might take me a few restart to figure out if there's a patter though, I'll come back then.
[18:23] <Guest88388> can be running crosOver linux on Ubuntu 11.04 on a PPC Processor
[18:23] <Guest88388> ?
[18:23] <santoshfamily_> ok
[18:23] <hypershock> luke_c: you are in luck, looks the package has been renamed to "tpconfig" so install that, that should help you out alot.
[18:24] <zykotick9> Guest88388: qemu is probably your best bet - not much "emulation" stuff will run on PPC
[18:25] <zykotick9> Guest88388: and qemu would be deadly slow
[18:25] <mrFrog> zykotick9: it's weird, in that section it says ext4 is supported, but when i try to "sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sdb /var/databases" i get an error like so: "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb…"
[18:25] <hypershock> will virtual box work for Guest88388 ?
[18:25] <zykotick9> mrFrog: /dev/sdb is wrong - that's a drive not a parition, try /dev/sdb1 if it's the 1st parition you want
[18:25] <santoshfamily_> when i run it from terminal it shows error !
[18:25] <Guest88388> what is when i compile it ?
[18:26] <Guest88388> the sourcecode from wine?
[18:26] <theadmin> Guest88388: You can't compile CrossOver, it's propertiary software. Wine doesn't work on PPC.
[18:26] <theadmin> Guest88388: You pretty much have no real options there...
[18:26] <zykotick9> theadmin: +1
[18:27] <venon> is packettracer available in ubuntu ?
[18:27] <mrFrog> zykotick9: ok now i'm on the right track, thank you :) it says that "special device /dev/sbd1 does not exist", guessing i have to learn to partition it?…
[18:27] <zykotick9> venon: cisco?  you can install it (not in repo, as it's proprietary software), or use wine.
[18:27] <theadmin> Guest88388: This is an ancient architecture propertiary to Apple and can't run Windows nor Windows software. Why do you think you need Wine, anyway?
[18:28] <theadmin> mrFrog: You want /dev/sdb1, not /dev/sbd1
[18:28] <mrFrog> right, i mistyped that
[18:28] <dr_willis> and old imac ppc - makes an  ok ssh terminal. :)
[18:28] <zykotick9> theadmin: re: mrFrog good catch, i missed that
[18:29] <Guest88388> there are other options to run Windows software on a PPC?
[18:29] <dr_willis> if you got OS-X on it.
[18:29] <theadmin> Guest88388: There are none at all.
[18:29] <theadmin> Guest88388: What software do you need? Most stuff has Linux alternatives.
[18:29] <escott> Guest88388, you have to emulate the x86 processor its not something you want to do
[18:29] <hypershock> what perplexes me is the acronym for wine: wine is not an emulator. that being said, if he is running linux natively on his mac ppc machine, then why would wine complain. does it actually access the hardware directly?
[18:30] <venon> zykotick9  , wine ?  it doesnt work
[18:30] <venon> ...
[18:30] <_cb> Will a Mac be able to access Ubuntu 11.10 remote desktop ?
[18:30] <g3orge> hey guys. I have an ubuntu laptop that I used with an external monitor (closed lid) and everything worked great, until I decided to choose the second option into the visual effects tab into appearence preference. It downloaded a new driver, updated, restarted and now it doesn't recognise my external monitor nor the laptop monitor itself (it says uknown instead of "laptop"). But the effects work great. ha. anyway, how can I downgrade to the
[18:30] <g3orge>  previous driver and go back?
[18:30] <LucidGuy> Anyone have experience stress testing an Ubuntu system?  Think its a bad idea to put a system to full load for 8 hours straight?
[18:30] <zykotick9> venon: then try the gnu/linux native version
[18:30] <escott> hypershock, because wine is not an emulator. it doesn't emulate the x86 it translates win32 to native posix
[18:30] <theadmin> hypershock: wine doesn't emulate CPU, Windows doesn't work on PowerPC = windows apps will go "wtf am I running on"
[18:30] <Canadian1296> _cb: Via ssh or vnc yes.
[18:30] <dr_willis> _cb,  with a vnc client. yes.  or you could even use xdmcp, or ssh X forarding with some work.
[18:31] <venon> and that is what
[18:31] <venon> zykotick9
[18:31] <hypershock> escott: so if he is running ubuntu 11.04, is he not in posix?
[18:31] <zykotick9> venon: you can download it from cisco's site... where you downloaded the windows version
[18:31] <_cb> dr_willis, Canadian1296 I thik Ubuntu's remote desktop is VNC. Correct? So I should be able to turn it on, open port 5900 and done
[18:31] <mrFrog> zykotick9: ok so i partitioned sdb, and when i try to mount /dev/sdb1 i still get this error: "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1"
[18:31] <dr_willis> _cb,  on a local lan - yes. i belive so
[18:31] <Canadian1296> dr_willis _cb: OS X has a built in VNC client. You just need to set up the ubuntu machine, then type vnc://ipaddress in safari
[18:32] <Guest88388> I need windows game without directX and learn Software like Revoca: http://translate.google.de/translate?sl=de&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=de&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.revoca.ch%2F. and revoca is only for windows and mac
[18:32] <dr_willis> I havent used os-x in years. :)
[18:32] <zykotick9> mrFrog: pastebin output of "sudo fdisk -l"
[18:32] <escott> hypershock, you are missing the point. posix establishes system calls, but that doesn't you can run armel compiled programs on x86.
[18:32] <venon> zykotick9 hm ok
[18:32] <theadmin> dr_willis: OS X never was on PPC's, right? It's intended for Intel... PPC = classic MacOS
[18:32] <zykotick9> mrFrog: did you format after partitioning?
[18:32] <_cb> Thanks !
[18:32] <dr_willis> theadmin,  i had a imacDV ppc that ran os-x
[18:32] <theadmin> dr_willis: Ah, ok
[18:32] <escott> theadmin, at the beginning it was
[18:32] <mrFrog> zykotick9: no i never formatted
[18:32] <dr_willis> theadmin,  it had os9 when i bought it. :)
[18:33] <Guest88388> how i can emulate an x86 Processor for to run wine, or CrossOver Linux or Play on linux or Cedega?
[18:33] <zykotick9> mrFrog: that's step 2 ;)
[18:33] <dr_willis> OS-9 was such a pain in so many ways.. its amazing it was as popular as it was..
[18:33] <dr_willis> Guest88388,  qemu perhps.. and whats the specs of your system?
[18:33] <Canadian1296> theadmin: OS X was for PPC and intel, and they've been slowly phasing out PPC. As of 10.7.0 they cut out all PPC support.
[18:33] <escott> Guest88388, qemu and you will get maybe 1 frame per decade
[18:33] <zykotick9> escott: +1
[18:34] <hypershock> guest search your repository for "emulator"
[18:34] <mrFrog> zykotick9: there we have it, thank you :) been working on mounting an ssd all morning...
[18:34] <hypershock> try them all out until you find one that will install windows
[18:34] <jeph01> hey guys
[18:34] <venon> zykotick9 ... i just find gns3 .... but packet tracer is better : (
[18:34] <dr_willis> windows 95 in qemu :)
[18:34] <zykotick9> hypershock: too bad none of them will
[18:34] <theadmin> hypershock: Nothing that emulates x86 will run on an inferior architecture such as ppc
[18:34] <jeph01> is there packet tracer for ubuntu?
[18:35] <Guest88388> can i make it faster when i installed quemu
[18:35] <zykotick9> jeph01: available from cisco yes
[18:35] <theadmin> jeph01: Try Wireshark. Not sure what you mean by "packet tracer", but...
[18:35] <jeph01> how to get it
[18:35] <dr_willis> Guest88388,  whats your system specs?
[18:35] <zykotick9> Guest88388: qemu will be a waste of your time on that hardware, it will be SO slow
[18:36] <escott> venon, iptables can do stateful filtering if that is what you want?
[18:36] <Guest88388> i have an 1,25 Ghz processor, 512 MB RAM,
[18:36] <escott> Guest88388, just find yourself x86 hardware if you need to run x86 apps
[18:37] <theadmin> Guest88388: Eh, and you want to emulate Windows? impossible, I'm afraid. Not to mention the architecture you're using.
[18:37] <hypershock> zykotick9: theadmin: I take it you guys tried this before hand. As it seems odd, that you can have a perfect Amiga Emulator (motorola processor), Commodore Emulator (forgot the chip here), Amstrad (definately x86), etc ... if those emulators run fine in Linux and their software doesn't go "wtf man, what is this", then why does wine have that problem. I'll accept that issue however. if that is case no matter what.
[18:37] <theadmin> hypershock: Wine does not emulate the processor
[18:37] <venon> escott ? i just want packet tracer on ubuntu ....
[18:37] <hypershock> Guest88388: eww, that is too slow of hardware.
[18:37] <escott> hypershock, because wine is not an emulator
[18:37] <dr_willis> Hyperbyte,  because those are emulators. :)  wine is not an emulator.
[18:37] <theadmin> hypershock: Those do, and they run on Linux, sure, but only on architectures equal to or superior of x86. You can't run them on PPC, I'm afraid.
[18:37] <jeph01> i just mean a cisco network simulator software
[18:37] <minixvbox> hypershock: wine is a compatibility layer, not an emulator
[18:37] <zykotick9> hypershock: emulators are typically built for x86 hardware and require those system calls, changing the underlying achitecture is a HUGE deal.
[18:38] <Guest88388> why make the wine delvolpers not wine for PPC Hardware? Can i chage it?
[18:38] <Guest88388> why make the wine delvolpers not wine for PPC Hardware? Can i chage it?
[18:38] <dr_willis> Guest88388,  because the ppc hardware is basically a dead end street perhaps?
[18:38] <hypershock> ok
[18:38] <theadmin> Guest88388: You can't. ppc is inferior to i686, what's not clear here? It's impossible.
[18:38] <escott> hypershock, and you are also comparing emulating a low power phone hardware on high power modern x86 but Guest is describing the reverse emulating modern x86 on old ppc
[18:38] <hypershock> i get it
[18:38] <escott> hypershock, if your phone could emulate your desktop... wouldn't you use that instead of your clunky laptop
[18:38] <dr_willis> I run the C64 emulator on my Cellphone to play MULE. :)
[18:39] <zykotick9> dr_willis: BlueMax was always my fav C64 game </ot>
[18:39] <venon> best utill for creating php script ?
[18:39] <theadmin> venon: vim
[18:39] <theadmin> venon: or emacs
[18:39] <dr_willis> a text editor. :)
[18:39] <MonkeyDust> or nano
[18:39] <theadmin> ...except nano doesn't do much of highlighting
[18:40] <theadmin> Nor autoindent, nor...
[18:40] <theadmin> yeah
[18:40] <dr_willis> geany is nice..
[18:40] <MonkeyDust> venon  forget nano ;)
[18:40] <venon> the admin thx
[18:40] <escott> Guest88388, your hardware is not capable. you could probably install dosbox in qemu and use that to run wordperfect but trying to do anything more recent is a lost cause. go find an x86 machine
[18:40] <theadmin> Indeed geany's nice too, venon, worth a shot as well
[18:40] <dr_willis> bbl
[18:41] <g3orge> how can I downgrade nvidia drivers?
[18:41] <MonkeyDust> not
[18:41] <Guest88388> and what is when i use an other linux system like yellowdog or debian whatever
[18:41] <venon> theadmin and something like bluefish ?
[18:42] <theadmin> Guest88388: Still. YOU CAN NOT EMULATE WINDOWS ON PPC. AT ALL.
[18:42] <theadmin> venon: Eh... Isn't that an HTML editor?
[18:42] <jakko> I swear every time I try ubuntu it is buggier than the last one. I swear audio worked in a provious version now audio is missed up
[18:43] <venon> yes :D i say something like this
[18:44] <Guest88388> and on a intel mac?
[18:45] <Orsb> Hi, I hava a silly question, but how do I actaully fiure out which partition to mount for restoring grub?
[18:45] <escott> Orsb, are you trying a chroot restore?
[18:45] <MonkeyDust> !grub
[18:45] <elijah> Ubuntu keeps locking me out with a password after X minutes, how can I disable that?
[18:45] <ArcherNX01> Is there a program like Xsplit or Flash Media Encoder 3 for Ubuntu?
[18:45] <zykotick9> elijah: screensaver settings
[18:46] <Orsb> escott: yes
[18:46] <luke_c> hypershock: I didn't want to say anything until I'd tried using it for a but, but installing tpconfig seems to have fixed it. Thanks! :)
[18:46] <theadmin> Guest88388: On Intel, sure. But then again, if you want Windows, it's easier to install Windows on that intel machine
[18:47] <escott> Orsb, you just have to test them until you find the right one. when you find your system root it should contain files like /bin /usr /etc and so on
[18:47] <escott> Orsb, and if you have a separate /boot you then have to mount that onto /wherever/you/mounted/your/ubuntu/root/boot
[18:47] <Orsb> escott: can i do that from the terminal?
[18:47] <ArcherNX01> I would love to switch Ubuntu completely, but if i could find a program that allows me to stream my desktop to twitch.tv or there would be drivers for my Avermedia HD capture card
[18:48] <escott> Orsb, sure "cat /proc/partitions" to see what partitions exist. "sudo mount /dev/sdX# /media/ubuntu" "ls /media/ubuntu" if its wrong "sudo umount /media/ubuntu" and try a different sdX#
[18:48] <jakko> i could never switch to ubuntu
[18:49] <jakko> I have yet to use a stable version
[18:49] <TuneChi> B
[18:49] <ArcherNX01> I tried the newest Ubuntu and i didn't like it
[18:49] <escott> ArcherNX01, the video4linux project handles all TV capture cards. they should have good resources for htat
[18:49] <zykotick9> jakko: ubuntu is not about stability, it's about new features the windows users like... and phone users ;)
[18:49] <ArcherNX01> The new GUI is just shit
[18:49] <escapeplan> Excuse me, I have a costumization issue with icons, Can anyone help me out ?
[18:49] <jakko> what features
[18:50] <escapeplan> I would like to change the VLC-icon ?
[18:50] <minixvbox> can we quit the complaining and just keep it to support please...

[18:51] <Guest88388> is it possible if I do the following sore to run for wine on PPC I use OpenSUSE:
[18:51] <Guest88388> the joy of every LINUX PPC USERS i'll present the wine installation on PPC linux!
[18:51] <Guest88388> Here we are:
[18:51] <Guest88388> 1) WHY?
[18:51] <Guest88388> Well because maybe flash doesn't work, or you wanna play some windows game, or use
[18:51] <Guest88388> some windows programs...
[18:51] <FloodBot1> Guest88388: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:51] <Guest88388> 2)SPEED
[18:52] <escott> Guest88388, I'll say yes. as long as you go to another channel :)
[18:52] <zykotick9> Guest88388: no gnu/linux distro will run wine on PPC - it's an issue with wine
[18:52] <Amirh> hi all.
[18:52] <elijah> zykotick9: Thanks buddy!
[18:52] <minixvbox> Guest88388: seriously, you've been told several times quite clearly you cannot use windows software on ppc
[18:52] <Amirh> I need a free software for ubuntu. I know there's not adobe photoshop for that. but something useful?
[18:52] <escott> !info gimp | Amirh
[18:53] <jakko> i have a problem with audio. Is tthere any thing that can be done?
[18:53] <Amirh> escott: anything else?
[18:53] <bastidrazor> Guest88388: also, why are you asking OpenSUSE questions in #ubuntu? Opensuse channel is less informed?
[18:53] <jakko> when pc boots it takes a few minutes to get audio
[18:53] <luke_c> !info inkscape | Armirh
[18:53] <escott> Amirh, imagemagick for bulk operations (resizing, thumbnailing and the like) inkscape for vectors
[18:53] <pythonsnake> Why 3 FloodBot?
[18:54] <Amirh> escott: I want to crop and combine some pic to create a new one.
[18:54] <Amirh> I just don't like gimp's style/
[18:54] <MonkeyDust> Amirh  can be done with gimp
[18:54] <Amirh> ok, thanks
[18:55] <Orsb> escott: I have tried this command: sudo mount /dev/sdX# /media/ubuntu and I could not find my ubuntu partition! Now I am really lost
[18:55] <escott> Amirh, this is the classic complaint of photoshop people. your choices are suck it up, write to adobe, start coding for ubuntu
[18:55] <venon> the best tutorial for php script ?
[18:55] <venon> please
[18:55] <escott> Orsb, you have to change the X# to match something listed in cat /proc/partitions like sda1
[18:55] <zykotick9> Amirh: gimp's interface has been a controversy for years... they are moving to a unified window i believe
[18:56] <Orsb> escott: I did that but no result
[18:56] <escott> Amirh, rather start coding for the gimp
[18:56] <fellayaboy> i have a small hard drive with ubuntu installed and a bigger blank hard drive..theyre both ide...whats the best solution to utlize both of them to act as one hard drive
[18:56] <rososaputro> yyyy
[18:56] <Amirh> zykotick9: I hope so.
[18:56] <\bMike\b> What can I use to monitor power consumption? My laptop's battery life is... abysmal :(
[18:56] <Amirh> I just installed it.
[18:57] <escott> Orsb, you could try the disk-utility, maybe a gui would help you figure this out? but i'm not sure how i can help you without knowing what you are seeing/trying to type
[18:57] <hypershock> luke_c: glad you are using your pad again. :)
[18:57] <zykotick9> \bMike\b: powertop might be helpful
[18:57] <\bMike\b> zykotick9: I'll start there, thanks
[18:57] <aS2> Hi! I have Ubuntu 11.10 on my Netbook and small but irritating issue. What I need to keep passwords for sudo/ssh-keys during session?
[18:57] <luke_c> hypershock: Thanks for your help! :)
[18:57] <Orsb> escott: i used the command you provided and put sda1, sda2... sda8
[18:57] <escott> fellayaboy, mdadm supports JBOD mode
[18:58] <aS2> On my desktop this works correctly but I have no idea why it doesnt work on my netbook.
[18:58] <fellayaboy> whats mdadm
[18:58] <venon> how long will it take me to learn php languag...
[18:58] <venon> ?
[18:58] <escott> Orsb, ok is there an sdb# listed in /proc/partitions? what did you see when you tried to mount the sda1
[18:58] <fellayaboy> escott, whats mdadm and jbod
[18:59] <escott> fellayaboy, mdadm is the linux raid system jbod=just a bunch of disks AKA raid linear
[18:59] <zykotick9> fellayaboy: an easier method then going the RAID route, would be to mount your big drive as /home or something else?
[18:59] <escott> !raid | fellayaboy
[18:59] <bastidrazor> venon: 2 days
[18:59] <csprite> what is y'all favorite linux rescue disk?
[18:59] <Orsb> escott: I also have windows runnin, but with the linux partition it showed "mount: mount poin /media/ubuntu does not exist"
[18:59] <bastidrazor> csprite: ubuntu liveCD
[19:00] <escott> Orsb, so sudo mkdir /media/ubuntu
[19:00] <escott> Orsb, then try again
[19:00] <csprite> if you dont have internet access
[19:00] <zykotick9> Orsb: mount points are empty directories, they need to exists before you try to mount to them
[19:00] <fellayaboy> zykotick9, can u give me more info about that method
[19:00] <hypershock> venon: heh, that's upto you but you might want to start at php.net and search google for php tutorial
[19:01] <escott> !home | fellayaboy
[19:01] <zykotick9> fellayaboy: is your big driver partitioned/formatted for MS (NTFS/FAT)?
[19:01] <fellayaboy> escott thanks ima look into that raid option...do i have to configure my bios for raid?  what settings do my ide hdd have to be in?? master slave?
[19:01] <fellayaboy> well im not sure what format it is but iw oudl partition it for linux ext4
[19:01] <savid> Hi, I'm having issues with bluetooth.  I'm not able to find my devices using the gui, it just keeps spinning.  I can, however, pair devices from the other direction (ie, I can initiate a pair from my phone).   I need to set up a bluetooth mouse and keyboard, though.  Any ideas on how to make it work?
[19:02] <fellayaboy> escott, thanks for that home directoy moving information
[19:02] <Orsb> escott: on which partition?
[19:02] <escott> fellayaboy, master slave... that takes me back. no its not bios its software, but it does require more work. a separate home would be substantially easier. depends on what your goals are
[19:02] <zykotick9> fellayaboy: then see teh !home factoid escott posted above, for my method.
[19:02] <escott> Orsb, any of them. the mount error was because it needed an empty directory which didn't exist (hence the sudo mkdir)
[19:02] <fellayaboy> thanks guys
[19:03] <fellayaboy> much appreciated
[19:03] <fellayaboy> escott my goal is to just have mroe space and they act as one hard drive...no windows parition..just one partition for ubuntu ext4
[19:04] <Orsb> escott: ok, but how do i know which is my ubuntu partition? Is that the one
[19:05] <escott> Orsb, after successfully mounting a partition onto /media/ubuntu run "ls /media/ubuntu" and look at the contents. are they the contents of an ubuntu /?
[19:05] <parapan> ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS new installation yesterday; today I've upgraded the kernel, and tried to install a samsung printer; reboot required, after reboot init: failed to spawn plymouth main process / init: failed to spawn hwclock process ...and 2 other errors involving mount drives ....is there a way to fix this ???
[19:06] <escott> fellayaboy, if you have a set of stable data that is taking up a lot of space (like a music collection) then you can create a partition on a disk, move the data to that disk, and mount that partition into your FS which is easier. if your data sizes are constantly changing and you need flexibility then JBOD makes multiple disks look like one big disk
[19:07] <savid> Also, hcitool scan doesn't seem to find my mouse or keyboard either :-(   Anyone know why this is?
[19:07] <savid> I have both devices turned on.
[19:09] <lahwran> how can I upgrade one package (specifically, google-chrome-stable) without downloading and installing 300mb of upgrades?
[19:09] <trism> lahwran: sudo apt-get install google-chrome-stable;
[19:09] <lahwran> oh nice. thanks
[19:10] <minixvbox> trism: he said upgrade
[19:10] <trism> minixvbox: it does upgrade
[19:10] <minixvbox> trism: that installs it, i thought he wants a newer package
[19:11] <trism> minixvbox: it will install the newer package when one is available
[19:12] <lahwran> minixvbox: it was already installed; `upgrade` tried to install all available upgrades, but `install` installed just the one upgrade
[19:12] <minixvbox> lahwran: i see
[19:12] <parapan> ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS new installation yesterday; today I've upgraded the kernel, and tried to install a samsung printer; reboot required, after reboot init: failed to spawn plymouth main process / init: failed to spawn hwclock process ...and 2 other errors involving mount drives ....is there a way to fix this ???
[19:13] <fellayaboy> thanks escott seems like jbod is right for me thanks
[19:13] <minixvbox> parapan: how did you upgrade the kernel?
[19:13] <Orsb> escott: thanks for that, i have looked throuh all the partitions. it seems that sda6 is my ubuntu partition but in sda5 i can see grub
[19:14] <parapan> minixvbox: ubuntu interface upgrades available .....most of them having kernel in the package name
[19:15] <hobbelt> whats a good tool to make an image from an Ubuntu VPS / webserver?
[19:15] <minixvbox> parapan: ah, good, i thought you were going to say you installed a custom kernel
[19:17] <parapan> minixvbox:  nope ...the PC is a Dell laptop ...just running the self tests now and I have an error on the HDD test section ...DTS short test did not passed ? may that be that HDD is broken ?
[19:17] <pythonsnake> is it worth upgrading to 12.04?
[19:17] <g3orge> I have an ubuntu laptop that I used with an external monitor (closed lid) and everything worked great, until I decided to choose the second option into the visual effects tab into appearence preference. It downloaded a new driver, updated, restarted and now it doesn't recognise my external monitor nor the laptop monitor itself (it says uknown instead of "laptop"). how can I downgrade to the previous driver and go back?
[19:18] <minixvbox> pythonsnake: when it is released
[19:18] <pythonsnake> but not now?
[19:18] <hobbelt> pythonsnake on production not atm, on a test / fun pc, well, go ahead :).
[19:18] <hobbelt> its not finished
[19:18] <ikonia> pythonsnake: you go through this each release.
[19:19] <ikonia> pythonsnake: if you are happy dealing with issues and it having bugs, try it, if you are not wait for it to be officially released.
[19:19] <luca> ciao
[19:19] <minixvbox> pythonsnake: think for a minute why there is a release process
[19:19] <Kircle> I'm on kernel-ubuntu.com and I've found the latest kernel release for 11.10 is 'v3.2-rc4'. But I'm currently on 3.2.0-10. Which kernel is newer?
[19:20] <ikonia> Kircle: why are you changing your kernel ?
[19:20] <minixvbox> Kircle: 11.10 uses 3.0 not 3.2
[19:20] <pythonsnake> ikonia: :)
[19:20] <ikonia> pythonsnake: I don't find it funny, covering the same questions over and over again
[19:20] <parapan> ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS new installation yesterday; today I've upgraded the kernel, and tried to install a samsung printer; reboot required, after reboot init: failed to spawn plymouth main process / init: failed to spawn hwclock process ...and 2 other errors involving mount drives ....is there a way to fix this ???
[19:20] <pythonsnake> :) != funny
[19:21] <Wooden_Android> can someone help me to get my wireless working in ubuntu?
[19:21] <Kircle> ikonia to see if it fixes my intel mesa graphic problems and minixvbox according to kernelubuntu.com there's an entry for 'v3.2-rc4-oneiric'
[19:21] <Fyodorovna> Wooden_Android, can you identify the card
[19:21] <minixvbox> Kircle: that isn't officially supported
[19:22] <ikonia> Kircle: that is xorg isn't it, not the kernel
[19:22] <minixvbox> Kircle: what is officially supported is whats in the repos
[19:22] <Wooden_Android> Fyodorovna, according to my device manager i think its a Intel(R) WiFi Link 1000 BGN
[19:22] <Kircle> minixvbox ah okay thanks
[19:24] <chengwei_> hello
[19:24] <sae> Hi, I just did a new install of 11.10 and copied over my tomboy notes from 10.04. But they do not appear in tomboy now. What can I do?
[19:25] <Wooden_Android> Fyodorovna, i tried sudo lshw -C network, and expected to get back CLAIMED, UNCLAIMED, ENABLED, or DISABLED, but i didn't get back any of those things
[19:25] <gareth_> Hello good people of #ubuntu. Does anyone have a moment to answer a question about where the studio controls have disappeared to in the new precise pangolin edition of studio? I want to sort out my Firewire card for realtime shizzles.
[19:26] <Fyodorovna> Wooden_Android, not really for me but the channel. :)
[19:26] <zykotick9> gareth_: reask in #ubuntu+1 for precise questions
[19:26] <pangolin> gareth_: try either #ubuntustudio or #ubuntu+1 for help with 12.04
[19:26] <lilVaratep> Goog Chrome keeps crashing=\.
[19:26] <Wooden_Android> Fyodorovna, well your the first person who has responded to my request for help all day
[19:26] <gareth_> wonderful, thanks for pointing me in the right direction :D
[19:26] <minixvbox> lilVaratep: any reason you're not using chromium instead?
[19:26] <Fyodorovna> lilVaratep, you might try chromium, it is in the repos
[19:27] <L3top> sae, I would find / -name 'name-of-note-file-you-have' and see if it exists in other locations.
[19:28] <Fyodorovna> Wooden_Android, yeah, it happaens the devil is in the details. :)
[19:28] <escott> Orsb, you might have a separate /boot partition. if you do then sudo mount /dev/sda5 /media/ubuntu/boot before you chroot
[19:29] <sae> L3top, thank you for the reply. When starting Tomboy it has some default notes which get created in the same directory. The directory is named 0 under home.
[19:29] <pythonsnake> Is it normal that ubuntu uses more than 1GB of RAM idle?
[19:29] <ikonia> pythonsnake: it uses it for caching
[19:29] <ikonia> pythonsnake: it's not actually in use
[19:29] <ikonia> pythonsnake: all linux does this, not just ubuntu
[19:30] <L3top> sae: alternatively notes=$(dpkg -L tomboy); for note in $notes; do find $note -name 'name-of-notes-file'; done     would be a bit faster.
[19:30] <escott> pythonsnake, does it make sense to be powering your RAM dimms and for them to be empty of potentially useful data that can be discarded at a moments notice?
[19:31] <pythonsnake> escott: no
[19:31] <L3top> hmmm... let me check that sae
[19:31] <Wargasm> my system doesn't use 1 gb idle
[19:31] <zykotick9> !atemyram | pythonsnake
[19:31] <escott> pythonsnake, and thats why it caches stuff
[19:31] <pythonsnake> what about the swap, never used
[19:31] <ikonia> pythonsnake: swap is hard disk
[19:31] <zykotick9> pythonsnake: but comparing the various DEs some use a lot more RAM then others
[19:32] <tyatpi> Ubuntu is great!
[19:32] <sae> L3top: Thanks again, but I think that is not the issue here. On my old system I had a 0 directory under home. In that directory I had another 0 and 1 directory. Seems tomboy got away with .tomboy directory.
[19:32] <L3top> yeah... that is a chunky way to do it... skip that... will throw a few errors
[19:32] <tyatpi> But what is the next linux distribution that you guys would recommend after Ubuntu?  Straight Debian
[19:32] <tyatpi> ?
[19:32] <sae> L3top: both 0 and 1 subdirectories have notes files in them.
[19:32] <ikonia> tyatpi: up to you - recommendations are personl
[19:33] <theadmin> tyatpi: This is not a channel to take polls or ask for recommendations, this is Ubuntu support only.
[19:33] <waxstone> tyatpi: mint
[19:33] <tyatpi> really?  Support?  wow.  Okay then.  I was misguided.
[19:33] <theadmin> waxstone: Same goes to you.
[19:33] <L3top> sae:  that is what I am trying to say, is that you might have to copy them from one to another. I do not use tomboy, so I cannot be more specific.
[19:33] <pythonsnake> but why doesn't it cache more? i have 1982mb free
[19:33] <stopbits> hey new to this channel. Just saying high.
[19:34] <theadmin> tyatpi: You can chit-chat in #ubuntu-offtopic , #defocus and a few other channels
[19:34] <ikonia> pythonsnake: it caches what it needs/thinks best, just trust it
[19:34] <bastidrazor> i trust it
[19:34] <pythonsnake> ah ok
[19:34] <pythonsnake> Thanks
[19:35] <sae> L3top: thanks again! :) I've searched the net for answers, but so far nothing in that direction, or info about older Tomboy versions. Thanks again anyway. :)
[19:35] <tyatpi> theadmin: thank you for the information on this channel and recommendations for others
[19:35] <tyatpi> is this channel associated with ubuntu-forums.org?
[19:36] <theadmin> tyatpi: Well, in some sense. Nothing in this channel gets to the forums or vice versa, but they're both official Ubuntu support methods
[19:36] <vijay__> how do i reduce the brightness of my screen ?

[19:37] <Wooden_Android> would someone like to help me figure out why my Intel(R) WiFi Link 1000 BGN will not work in ubuntu?
[19:37] <theadmin> hobbelt: dd
[19:37] <vijay__> no ...i have used the brightness option in ubuntu which is not working !:(
[19:37] <lilVaratep> I have stuff synced to google chrome, will i be able to sync to chromium also?
[19:37] <hobbelt> theadmin thanks, ill look into it :)
[19:37] <zykotick9> lilVaratep: there is sync in chromium as well
[19:38] <Orsb> escott: sda2 is indiacated with an asterik as my boot partition, but that has windows 7 on. So, after mounting sda6 (my ubuntu partition) shall i also mount sda5 (which has the grub) or sda2 which is indicated as boot?
[19:38] <vijay__> yeah...i use laptop (Sony VPCCW15FN)
[19:38] <satyanash> Hi! I am trying to set up a dual-head display.
[19:38] <sae> Thanks again everyone - heading over to gnome :)
[19:38] <hobbelt> theadmin does it offer the possibility to make the backup to a local (at home that is) drive?
[19:38] <satyanash> I want to be able to use the same viewports/workspaces/pages on the same machine.
[19:38] <satyanash> on both the displays.
[19:39] <theadmin> hobbelt: Hm, no not really
[19:39] <mrintegr1ty> hi all, i have setup two network interface which both get their ip via DHCP. How can I specify which nic should come up first? Alternatively, which one should set the default route?
[19:39] <hobbelt> theadmin I kind of want to save my current VPS setup allowing me to reinstall it quickly
[19:39] <ikonia> mrintegr1ty: they come up in interface order
[19:39] <vijay__> L3top :  yeah !
[19:39] <pythonsnake> Why is my graphic card Unknown under system info?
[19:39] <ikonia> mrintegr1ty: you set which ever one you want to tbe the default route
[19:39] <ikonia> pythonsnake: because it can't be identified
[19:39] <vijay__> L3top :  its a Latop Screen
[19:39] <jlebrech> i'm trying to install nginx on the latest version of ubuntu, I can't get the init.d script to work
[19:40] <mrintegr1ty> ikonia: oh, like the order they are listed in networking/interfaces?
[19:40] <pythonsnake> How do I fix that
[19:40] <vijay__> minixvbox: what is squint ?
[19:40] <ikonia> mrintegr1ty: eth0 first, eth1 next etc
[19:40] <ikonia> pythonsnake: you won't - it doesn't matter, its just wording

[19:40] <grkblood> how do you switch your audio output by the command line?
[19:40] <cordyceps> how do I colorize the cursor in lxterminal?
[19:40] <escott> Orsb, the bootable flag isn't meaningful to ubuntu. you want to mount your ubuntu / partition the one that contains /bin /etc /boot and so forth onto /media/ubuntu. i dont know how to tell you what sda# that will be except to try each one in turn. if you think you have found it send us the output of ls /media/ubuntu and i can confirm

[19:41] <ikonia> mrintegr1ty: are they both connected to a broadband connection ?

[19:44] <pythonsnake> ...
[19:45] <satyanash> lol, ban hat trick
[19:45] <minixvbox> lilVaratep: you can resize the windows partition to make room
[19:45] <mputtr> so... how's everyone doing today?
[19:45] <ikonia> mrintegr1ty: do you control the dhcp servers for these networks ?
[19:45] <Oredigger> windows did something to my bluetooth device :(
[19:45] <Oredigger> I can't connect to it anymore... stupid windows
[19:45] <mputtr> Oredigger: windows should not be interfering w/ ubuntu
[19:45] <mrintegr1ty> ikonia: just one of them (the one that shouldn't be dhte defult gw
[19:46] <lilVaratep> minixvbox: how do i resize the windows partition without losing information?
[19:46] <mputtr> i'm assuming you've already tried to connect to the device?
[19:46] <Oredigger> mputtr I used my bluetooth audio adapter in windows, and now it won't work in ubuntu
[19:46] <minixvbox> lilVaratep: use gparted, make sure you backup what you need just incase
[19:46] <KM0201> lilVaratep: the easiest way is to pay attention.
[19:46] <ikonia> mrintegr1ty: is it offering "gateway" or "defaultgateway" in it's config ?
[19:46] <Fyodorovna> lilVaratep, which windows release?
[19:46] <satyanash> Hi! is there anyway I can move a windows from one X window to another, without Xinerama ?
[19:46] <mputtr> Oredigger: does your audio adapter support multiple devices?
[19:46] <lilVaratep> Fyodorovna: I have w7 ultimate 64-bit.
[19:47] <lilVaratep> minixvbox: gparted from the Ubuntu live-cd correct
[19:47] <Oredigger> mputtr ??? dunno It was working fine in Ubuntu until I used it once in windows
[19:47] <minixvbox> lilVaratep: yes, that will work
[19:47] <Fyodorovna> lilVaratep, W7 has a partitioner that will do this while running
[19:47] <mputtr> Oredigger: some bluetooth devices only accepts connections with 1 device at a time and only stores that info
[19:47] <Oredigger> mputtr I'm using a dual boot, so I only use on OS at a time
[19:47] <satyanash> anyone >
[19:48] <Oredigger> mputtr well, it's the same hardware
[19:48] <mputtr> Oredigger: yeah, but some devices only store a single profile at a time so when you paired it with the windows version, it might have overwritten the profile
[19:48] <Fyodorovna> lilVaratep, best to use the Disk Manager then make sure W7 is running before a install of ub untu.
[19:48] <savid> Wtf?  I'm trying to set up my bluetooth mouse and it wants me to enter a PIN for the mouse?
[19:48] <mputtr> have you tried to pair it up in ubuntu?
[19:48] <ikonia> !wtf > savid
[19:48] <mputtr> savid: it's usually 0000
[19:48] <mputtr> or 1234
[19:49] <Oredigger> mputtr cool... how to I remove the device?  I can't pair it again... it doesn't find it
[19:49] <mrintegr1ty> ikonia: good question.. it's libvirt with built in dnsmasq
[19:49] <ikonia> mrintegr1ty: oooh, that makes it intersting....
[19:49] <savid> sorry, didn't realize wt* was not "family friendly" :-P
[19:49] <mputtr> Oredigger: you should be able to just set the device to go into pairing mode and use ubuntu to scan and pair it again
[19:49] <KM0201> lilVaratep: did you figure it out?
[19:50] <Oredigger> mputtr in an ideal world, yes :)  BUt that's not working...
[19:50] <mputtr> Oredigger: well damn..... you might have to pull the manual on this, but see if you can do a factory reset on that bluetooth device
[19:50] <mputtr> so it clears all the profiles
[19:51] <savid> mputtr, it also wanted me to type a pin on my bluetooth keyboard (type number and press enter on keyboard),  but that didn't seem to work either.  I don't understand why these devices require PIN number setup.
[19:51] <Zaeluos> is this run by people to do with ubuntu?
[19:51] <mputtr> savid:  it should still be 0000 or 1234
[19:51] <escott> savid, security requirement
[19:51] <mputtr> savid: it's a security thing
[19:52] <minixvbox> Zaeluos: we are all volunteers here
[19:52] <mputtr> Zaeluos: afaik, this channel is for general ubuntu support
[19:52] <Zaeluos> I'm away to switch to another distro & snap ubuntu livecd :P
[19:52] <Zaeluos> ass holes
[19:52] <mputtr> 0.o
[19:52] <mrintegr1ty> ikonia: indeed, i might actually disable the built in dnsmasq as I will want to manage dns with puppet/theforman anyway
[19:52] <Oredigger> mputtr there is an ubuntu manual?
[19:52] <mputtr> Oredigger: i meant for your audio device
[19:53] <mputtr> sorry, i guess i wasn't clear
[19:53] <ikonia> mrintegr1ty: you've got an interesting issue there, I'll have a little think as I'm interested too
[19:53] <_Marcus> What's a good command-line bittorrent client?
[19:53] <mrintegr1ty> ikonia: thanks mate
[19:53] <savid> mputtr, well with the keyboard Ubuntu is giving me a 6-digit number to type in on the bt keyboard.  It's not working.
[19:53] <mrintegr1ty> ikonia: I have to go setup a film for my gf, will be back later though
[19:53] <ikonia> mrintegr1ty: pleasure, nice to have something interest
[19:53] <mputtr> savid: did you hit enter afterwards?
[19:53] <Oredigger> mputtr yeah, there is only 1 button on the device, and that is to pair it.  It's this thing http://www.logitech.com/en-my/speakers-audio/home-pc-speakers/devices/8087
[19:53] <savid> mputtr, yes, I did
[19:53] <minixvbox> _Marcus: transmission has a cli frontend i think
[19:53] <Orsb> escott: on sda5 I have System.map and vmlinuz (no typo) but no /boot shall I create it?
[19:53] <yun> join/ #ubuntu-fr
[19:53] <mputtr> savid: dang...
[19:53] <savid> mputtr, is there a way to do this on the cmdline?
[19:54] <mputtr> savid: sorry... that i do not know
[19:54] <mputtr> Oredigger: one moment.. let me read it real quick
[19:54] <escott> Orsb, that is the /boot now you need to find the / partition
[19:54] <Fyodorovna> !bootinfo > Fyodorovna
[19:55] <_Marcus> minixvbox: Thanks
[19:55] <minixvbox> _Marcus: no worries :)
[19:55] <mputtr> Oredigger: is your device showing the red light?
[19:55] <Xabster_> how do I make youtube videos automatically start when the page loads? (ubuntu 11.10 and firefox 10)
[19:55] <Oredigger> mputtr yup
[19:55] <mputtr> ahh.
[19:56] <mputtr> well, it says to press and hold the connect button till the green light blinks
[19:56] <meerkats> what commodore64 emulator should I use?
[19:56] <mputtr> then it's supposed to find and reconnect
[19:56] <ikonia> which ever one you want
[19:56] <meerkats> I find a c64 in synaptic, downloaded it, but I cannot use it
[19:56] <meerkats> I click on it, nothing happens
[19:56] <ikonia> mrintegr1ty: why not ?
[19:56] <dubzed> 11.10 broke my ability to print on a dell v313 usb, cups recognizes the printer and driver, but nothing prints
[19:56] <ikonia> mrintegr1ty: did you read the doucumentation on how to use it ?
[19:56] <mputtr> if that doesn't work, then go into ubuntu, remove the pairing and re-pair it
[19:57] <Oredigger> mputtr how do I remove the pairing?
[19:57] <mputtr> you go into the settings, find the pairing in unbuntu and you should be able to remove it
[19:57] <escott> Orsb, when you find the partition that contains /bin and /etc you will do the following: sudo mount /dev/sda# /media/ubuntu; sudo mount /dev/sda5 /media/ubuntu/boot
[19:58] <Oredigger> mputtr ahhh.... that's what the +/- button was in the lower left of setting!  I was trying to press delete or right click
[19:58] <mputtr> :)
[19:58] <tyatpi> Is there a part in Admin or preferences of Gnome to install fonts?
[19:58] <mputtr> now try and pair it again
[19:59] <satyanash> Hi! is there anyway I can move a window from one X window to another, without Xinerama ?
[20:00] <minixvbox> !fonts | tyatpi
[20:00] <tyatpi> ubottu: help
[20:00] <dubzed> 11.10 broke my ability to print on a dell v313 usb, cups recognizes the printer and driver, but nothing prints, any suggestions?
[20:00] <Oredigger> mputtr :D SOUND!!!!
[20:01] <tyatpi> !patience
[20:01] <mputtr> Oredigger: congratulations :)
[20:02] <mputtr> Oredigger: afaik, even though the hardware is the same one, but if it is run by different OSs like ubuntu and windows, it will register differently
[20:03] <mputtr> Oredigger: so i guess you might have to start hte process all over again if you want to pair in windows again
[20:03] <dubzed> 11.10 breaks a printer that has been working since 10.04 and no one has any answers, FUCK CANONICAL, I'm heading for a different distro
[20:03] <Oredigger> mputtr ... or just don't use windows :)
[20:03] <crizzy> dubzed: yes, because it totally has nothing to do with cups. it was canonical that broke it -.-
[20:03] <mputtr> Oredigger: that works just as well XD
[20:03] <Orsb> escott: when I verified the installation with sudo grub-install --recheck /dev/sda i got the message "sudo: unable to resolve host ubuntu". Is it a problem?
[20:04] <pangolin> !language | dubzed
[20:04] <escott> Orsb, you shouldn't need to sudo. you should sudo chroot and then sudo should be unnecessary
[20:05] <Oredigger> mputtr Thanks for the help... All is right again in my world
[20:06] <mputtr> Oredigger: np
[20:07] <pythonsnake> is there a sensor applet like cpu temperature monitors in Unity?
[20:08] <Canadian1296> How do I change the root password for mysql?
[20:08] <rfiaca> Canadian1296, install mysql administrator and it is easy
[20:09] <Canadian1296> rfiaca: I already have mysql installed, I just need to change the password. I still know the old one.
[20:10] <rfiaca> Canadian1296, so login with router account
[20:10] <minixvbox> !noroot
[20:10] <rfiaca> Canadian1296, go to User Administration and type the new password
[20:10] <zykotick9> minixvbox: doesn't apply to mysql ;)
[20:10] <Canadian1296> rfiaca: Command line only
[20:10] <minixvbox> zykotick9: ah sorry
[20:10] <LjL> uh
[20:10] <LjL> are we talking about the MySQL password or a user password?
[20:11] <Canadian1296> LjL: MySQL root password
[20:11] <Orsb> escott: thanks for your help, the menu finally came back but i still cannot log in. I can enter the recovery mode. Could you advise me how to proceed?
[20:11] <rfiaca> Canadian1296, oh... then try this http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/mysql-change-root-password/
[20:12] <Canadian1296> rfiaca: I got it, thanks
[20:12] <escott> Orsb, so you can boot recovery but not the normal boot?
[20:12] <escott> Orsb, what happens when you try to do the normal boot?
[20:12] <pythonsnake> is there a sensor applet like cpu temperature monitors in Unity?
[20:13] <minixvbox> pythonsnake: maybe you could use conky?
[20:13] <pythonsnake> found one - psensor
[20:14] <pythonsnake> minixvbox: i don't want it to be in the desktop
[20:14] <pythonsnake> on*
[20:14] <rocket16> Hey guys, can I synchronize google tasks with Evolution or Thunderbird (maybe with some addons?)? I really need that, but didn't find much info online. :( Please help
[20:14] <minixvbox> pythonsnake: ok
[20:15] <escott> rocket16, thunderbird has a plugin system just like firefox and there a google plugins there. you can also intall lightning
[20:16] <Orsb> escott: i can boot only recovery mode, normal boot hangs at "Checking battery state"
[20:16] <zykotick9> Orsb: have you tried nomodeset?
[20:17] <zykotick9> Orsb: actually, if you see that much, nomodeset probably doesn't apply
[20:17] <escott> Orsb, seems suggested solutions are for reinstalling graphics drivers http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1859820
[20:17] <rocket16> escott: I already installed lightning, and it synchronizes google calendar pretty well. But nothing works for google tasks. :( But I had some luck using google calendar tab plugin, although it's just an ugly form of google calendar, just the online version displayed insode thunderbird.
[20:17] <escott> rocket16, i think part of the problem is that the task list is not a full fledged thing in google. its built into the calendar in a weird way
[20:17] <pythonsnake> how do i remove a repo?
[20:18] <zykotick9> pythonsnake: PPA?
[20:18] <pythonsnake> yes
[20:18] <zykotick9> !ppa-purge | pythonsnake
[20:19] <Orsb> escott: I'll check that. shall I do it from the recovery mode or live cd?
[20:19] <escott> Orsb, you should be able to manipulate apt from the recovery
[20:19] <pythonsnake> thanks
[20:21] <rocket16> escott: Yeah. I just wanted to keep my android and ubuntu synchronized, but I guess that ugly google calendar tab for thunderbird works, at the very least. So, I think it's best to stick to it for the time being. Thanks for the help anyway. :)
[20:22] <escott> rocket16, i think ive gotten it working before but never really tried that hard
[20:22] <grkblood> for some reason my compiz unity settings are no longer working. is there a way to tell why this is? my window looks like Unity 2D but i didnt log in using that
[20:22] <escott> grkblood, your graphics drivers probably aren't working. what kind of graphics card do you have?
[20:23] <grkblood> intel
[20:23] <grkblood> i have a sandybridge so it defaults to the onboard intel gpu
[20:23] <Infinite8> Any suggestions on the best backup tool for Ubuntu
[20:23] <escott> !backup | Infinite8
[20:24] <escott> grkblood, then it should be working. what does glxinfo say?
[20:24] <minixvbox> Infinite8: nothing beats commen sense copy and paste backups
[20:24] <Infinite8> Minixvbox:  That could take a long time to do over and over again.
[20:25] <andrewaclt> If I'm usuing 12.04 LTS beta, is switching to the 12.04 release just a matter of apt-get upgrade? Do oyu have to run do-release-upgrade?
[20:25] <aeon-ltd> andrewaclt: #ubuntu+1
[20:25] <minixvbox> Infinite8: not if you're organised
[20:25] <grkblood> escott, http://paste.ubuntu.com/868869/
[20:26] <grkblood> brb
[20:26] <Infinite8> Minixvbox:  I'm pretty organized with my files, but do you have any tips on making copying and paste easier?
[20:27] <minixvbox> Infinite8: keeping my files in a central location organsied into categories help for me
[20:27] <itaylor57> andrewaclt, If you install a development version of Ubuntu Precise and keep up with package updates, then you will be upgraded to the official release of 12.04 when it comes out. To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a terminal. Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1.
[20:27] <escott> grkblood, your glx is not working. odd. is mesa installed dpkg -l "*mesa*" is the intel module loaded (i think it is i815 but im not sure)
[20:27] <andrewaclt> itaylor57, thanks
[20:27] <Psih0MAN> hello! if i use dd to put an ubuntu iso cd image onto a usb flash drive, will it boot?

[20:28] <JoeR1> Is there a way to disable extra workspaces?
[20:28] <Psih0MAN> minixvbox: thank you
[20:28] <minixvbox> JoeR1: just set it to one workspace

[20:29] <maury> hi
[20:30] <JoeR1> never mind, I feel foolish
[20:30] <escott> JoeR1, unity-tweak-tool might have this, you could also try ccsm, but you might break things
[20:30] <Fyodorovna> JoeR1, if unity you could set it in compiz
[20:31] <maury> does anyone knows how to deactivate keycode 240?
[20:31] <minixvbox> maury: what is keycode 240?

[20:31] <maury> I have a laptop lenovo y460p and randomly writes wierd characters
[20:31] <JoeR1> escott, Fyodorovna I found it, I felt stupid for how easy it was

[20:44] <MonkeyDust> sythe_  how is it that you want something that is no longer maintained and that you are not running?
[20:44] <sythe_> MonkeyDust: It's a dependency for an app that I need
[20:44] <pythonsnake> sythe_: is it released ?
[20:45] <sythe_> pythonsnake: No, Facade is not released yet.
[20:45] <Elise001> Still hoping to get Ubuntu running properly on my Compaq notebook.
[20:45] <sythe_> If it was, http://facade.so would be covered in balloons
[20:45] <pythonsnake> :(
[20:45] <sythe_> pythonsnake: Get Illusion back, if you can
[20:45] <pythonsnake> ok
[20:45] <pythonsnake> will try
[20:46] <sythe_> ;)
[20:46] <Elise001> I had started to update ubuntu and it stopped in middle of updates.
[20:46] <sythe_> Thanks
[20:46] <pythonsnake> :)
[20:47] <Xabster_> how do i get last.fm radio channels to work in firefox 10? ubuntu 11.10
[20:47] <sythe_> Elise001: That's not good.
[20:47] <baconbacon123> I fergot the name of the channel loke ubintu-oxfftopic
[20:47] <zykotic10> baconbacon123: #defocus ?
[20:47] <itaylor57> baconbacon123, #ubuntu-offtopic
[20:47] <Fyodorovna> Elise001, you lose the connection?
[20:47] <Xabster_> or how do i get to work in chrome?
[20:48] <Xabster_> it doesn't matter which browser - just help me get it to work
[20:48] <esmirlin> hey guys i cant start ubuntu 12.04 beta1 in unity 3d always log in in 2d, anyone is having same issue?
[20:48] <Xabster_> youtube videos also act weird
[20:48] <Fyodorovna> !precise | esmirlin
[20:48] <baconbacon123> No i think itz like club ununto or sumthin
[20:49] <Elise001> I am still here. Yes, I think I did lose wifi connection while updating. Now mouse does not work.
[20:49] <Fyodorovna> Elise001, can you logout or reboot?
[20:50] <Spyros> you can always reboot with "Ctrl+Alt+F1" ,then "Ctrl+alt+del"
[20:50] <philipballew> Should a router be able to open the same port for two different computers or does my router just suck?
[20:51] <Elise001> Yes. But restart and then same problem
[20:52] <Spyros> if you login to terminal and run apt-get upgrade?
[20:52] <waxstone_> Elise001:Does your hard drive have enough space
[20:53] <znejk> hello, does ubuntu 11.10 run on an AMD NB550?
[20:53] <ikonia> znejk: yes
[20:53] <Elise001> Not sure.
[20:53] <znejk> ikonia, gfx drivers too?
[20:53] <johanesbourkg> df -h for disk space
[20:53] <ikonia> znejk: well, that depends on if your card is supported
[20:53] <ch33z> I TELL YOU!!
[20:53] <znejk> ATI 6250M
[20:53] <znejk> i think
[20:53] <ch33z> Thank you come AGAIN!
[20:53] <ikonia> znejk: then check out if that's supported
[20:54] <savid> Hi, I'm having issues with overscan on my HDMI output.  I have a radeon HD 6600M.   Anyone know how to fix it?
[20:54] <znejk> found a bug report which says it was fixed so I guess it will be fine :)
[20:55] <waxstone_> Elise001: as johanesbourkg suggests, type df -h in the terminal and check your available space
[20:55] <johanesbourkg> philipballew, neither could i, don't think so
[20:56] <loucal> is there any other config file on 11.04 that would be read over /etc/ssh/ssh_config ?
[20:57] <johanesbourkg> man ssh_config
[20:57] <johanesbourkg> yes
[20:58] <grkblood> my laptop and tv only share one resolution in common (640x480) so if i try to mirror my laptop to my tv it looks horrible. is there a way to add more resolution settings to my laptop?
[20:58] <Elise001> very annoying.
[20:58] <loucal> johanesbourkg: my mistake, I should have been clearer, besides .ssh/config in the home directory, it does not exist
[20:59] <Deihmos> window snap does not work.
[20:59] <johanesbourkg> you can create it, (but i don't think it would act on the more global settings)
[20:59] <Elise001> I can't get to the terminal because the mouse is stuck and I can't tab to the terminal.
[21:00] <Elise001> I have done ctrl alt delete several times.
[21:00] <johanesbourkg> Elise001, Ctrl+alt+F1 to F6?
[21:00] <Elise001> I will try that.
[21:00] <loucal> I need to use ssh but changes to the config are not taking effect, even after restarting the service or even the machine, i have no configuration in the user directory so i am puzzled
[21:00] <Fyodorovna> grkblood, it seems you need to get the graphics set up fully working really.
[21:01] <johanesbourkg> loucal, sshd_config ?
[21:01] <zykotic10> loucal: ssh server is configured with sshd_config
[21:01] <loucal> wait, so it doesn't use the file in /etc/ssh/ssh_config ?
[21:01] <johanesbourkg> nope
[21:02] <Miqi> No live media can access my hard drive. Is there a way to make linux recognize the disklabel so it can mount the drive?
[21:02] <johanesbourkg> grkblood, have you fiddled with xrandr?
[21:02] <loucal> silly me, thank you
[21:03] <zykotic10> Miqi: what format is the drive?  raid?
[21:03] <bigshum> : powerpc installation on a g3 iMac. got to a point where it's stating 'no disk drive was detected. if you know the name of there driver….' etc etc. Any idea what driver I should be using?
[21:03] <virunga> Hi, i'd like to share files in my lan network but Personal File Sharing Preferences says "This feature cannot be enabled because the required packages are not installed on your system". I already installed samba, what dependencies does it need? Help please :)
[21:03] <Elise001> That got me to the terminal and I logged in. Thanks.
[21:04] <Miqi> zykotic: Not sure I don't think I've changed it from whatever it came as
[21:04] <zykotic10> !tab > Miqi
[21:05] <johanesbourkg> virunga, nfs-kernel-server maybe
[21:05] <zykotic10> johanesbourkg: nfs has nothing to do with PFS.  virunga
[21:05] <johanesbourkg> got it
[21:05] <johanesbourkg> thnx
[21:06] <virunga> zykotic10, ok, so not that package :)
[21:06] <zykotic10> Miqi: what happens when you try to mount?  what command are you using?
[21:06] <Elise001> 6%, 1%, 1%, 0%, 1%
[21:06] <zykotic10> virunga: not that one, no.
[21:06] <virunga> zykotic10, do you know which one is the need one?
[21:06] <zykotic10> virunga: nope.
[21:08] <Miqi> zykotic10: Whenever I, a program, or startup tries to mount the drive, Linux doesn't recognize the disk.
[21:08] <Fyodorovna> Elise001, what happens if you run a update comand from there?
[21:08] <ubuntu> hey
[21:09] <zykotic10> Miqi: need some details.  is this another drive vs your /?  are you using fstab?
[21:09] <nyquist> Hi there, I've got a little problem in which I can only boot my laptop using ubuntu if I put in the grub the configuration nomodeset
[21:09] <okum> anybody know, just what the hell is going on? (gives me an error, won't let me do anything on desktop, then like resets and works..) http://oi40.tinypic.com/15eusyr.jpg
[21:09] <nyquist> otherwise I get a blank screen
[21:09] <zykotic10> nyquist: that's common - what is the issue?
[21:10] <nyquist> I've tried numerous things but still can't get this to work
[21:10] <Miqi> zykotic10: This is my internal hard drive versus various distros running from yumi on my flash drive
[21:10] <zykotic10> nyquist: do you want to make nomodeset permanent?
[21:10] <freezer> hi
[21:10] <zykotic10> Miqi: yumi?  what is that?
[21:11] <nyquist> still haven't but the problem is that nomodeset does not allow me to set the correct resolution
[21:11] <Fyodorovna> freezer, dee hidee hoh
[21:11] <nyquist> I've tried working with xrandr, etc... but nothing worked yet :)
[21:11] <zykotic10> nyquist: after nomodeset (so you can see) install your graphics drivers
[21:11] <freezer> Fyodorovna, what?
[21:11] <Miqi> zykotic10: Yumi is Your Universal Multiboot Installer. It let's me run linux from my flash drive as you would from a live cd
[21:11] <nyquist> been there done that :P
[21:11] <nyquist> :)
[21:12] <Fyodorovna> freezer, see Cab Calloway. :)
[21:12] <zykotic10> Miqi: and what distro are you using with your flash drive?
[21:12] <zykotic10> Miqi: actually doesn't matter - for me.  I can't help.  Good luck.
[21:12] <Fyodorovna> freezer, mini the moocher song lyric.
[21:13] <Miqi> zykotic10:  But the problem has nothing to do with where I'm working from. The problem is that nothing linux, usb or cd,can mount my hard drive
[21:14] <freezer> Fyodorovna, i c
[21:14] <zykotic10> Miqi: i can't help you.
[21:14] <Miqi> zykotic10:  Oh well. thanks anyway.
[21:15] <c0ldfyre> Can someone give me some advice? First time Unbuntu user with mild scripting knowledge. Having trouble compiling src because of constant lib errors or other issues
[21:15] <bigterd> how can i update jaunty if i can't update jaunty?
[21:15] <zykotic10> c0ldfyre: what are you compiling?  are you sure there isn't a package available?
[21:16] <Fyodorovna> !eol | bigterd
[21:16] <bigterd> yay, you told me it's not supposed. duh. i'm trying to update it
[21:16] <bigterd> how can i update jaunty if i can't update jaunty?
[21:16] <bigterd> supported*
[21:16] <zykotic10> bigterd: see the link provided by !eol
[21:16] <itaylor57> bigterd, read the post
[21:16] <c0ldfyre> I was trying to install "sourceinstall-GTK", but I keep getting lib errors
[21:17] <Fyodorovna> bigterd, read the bots message, and note that a upgarde will chnge from grub legacy to grub 2
[21:17] <Fyodorovna> S/upgrade/change
[21:17] <zykotic10> Fyodorovna: actually upgrade do NOT update grub by default
[21:17] <Fyodorovna> zykotic10, starts it you have to accept it.:)
[21:18] <Fyodorovna> zykotic10, and you don't have to YEL. :)
[21:18] <Fyodorovna> YELL*
[21:18] <bigterd> once again i remember why i use the *BSD's.
[21:19] <virunga> Hi, i'd like to share files in my lan network but Personal File Sharing Preferences says "This feature cannot be enabled because the required packages are not installed on your system". I already installed samba, what dependencies does it need? Help please :)
[21:19] <bigterd> last i remember updating doesn't involve a fresh install...
[21:19] <Elise001> when did apt-get upgrade system responded Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied) Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/). are you root?
[21:20] <bigterd> unless i'm mis-understanding word definitions.
[21:20] <Fyodorovna> Elise001, try these two commands. sudo dpkg --configure -a && sudo apt-get -f install
[21:20] <johanesbourkg> Elise001, sudo apt...
[21:20] <Elise001> When did dir, got: Desktop, Downloads, Music, Pictures, Templates....
[21:21] <marc> salut
[21:21] <Fyodorovna> bigterd, the eol upgrade is not a fresh install.
[21:21] <bigterd> wonder why the recommend it
[21:21] <Fyodorovna> bigterd, but that iis way down below even the lts a fresh install is really your fastest choice.
[21:22] <bigterd> good thing i don't run this stuff for routers, firewalls, and fileservers.
[21:22] <bigterd> an upgrade requires a 1/2 day of downtime
[21:22] <aaGp> excuse me, im wondering how to know where can i look for gtk icons?, like for example in xchat in the dropdown menus the put gtk-info n it shows a little icon of information? where can i find more?..
[21:23] <Fyodorovna> bigterd, just understanding the upgrade structure and eol's would have been a better choice, eh.
[21:23] <bigterd> not choosing ubutnu would of been a better choice. debian and arch don't have this problem. and *BSD's as i stated before.
[21:24] <c0ldfyre> can any tell me why I'm getting this error when installing "sourceinstaller"
[21:24] <c0ldfyre> checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
[21:24] <c0ldfyre> checking for GTK... no
[21:24] <c0ldfyre> configure: error: could not detect required GTK >= 2.4
[21:24] <Elise001> It asked for my password. I gave it my password. It is doing something. Shotwell.
[21:24] <Fyodorovna> bigterd, your choice though huh. :)
[21:24] <Elise001> Thank you.
[21:25] <bigterd> i think it's funny this box i pulled out of the closet since 2009 is to old to experiment with. wtf is right.
[21:25] <Elise001> Setting up Shotwell. Setting up software center. Lots of output.
[21:26] <bigshum> Powerpc installation on a g3 iMac. got to a point where it's stating 'no disk drive was detected. if you know the name of there driver….' etc etc. Does anybody have a workaround to this? My google-fu is failing me…
[21:26] <savid> What do I do if my bluetooth mouse is too sensitive,  but the acceleration/sensitivity settings are already at their lowest?
[21:26] <glebihan> c0ldfyre, you're not really "installing" but "compiling" which means you need some development libraries, in this case probably the libgtk2.0-dev package
[21:27] <glebihan> c0ldfyre, make sure to read the README or INSTALL files that probably come with the source of the software in order to make sure you have all the required dependencies to build it
[21:28] <Fyodorovna> bigterd, just install a OS that you like really, this is ubuntu support.
[21:29] <Fyodorovna> if you need to complain #ubuntu-offtopic may be the place. :)
[21:33] <okum> can someone help me out here? need to solve this error.. http://oi40.tinypic.com/15eusyr.jpg
[21:34]  * bigterd takes a shower while the EOLA update takes place...all 3Gb, then the latest update can take place
[21:34] <Elise001> It worked! Am able to run firefox. Thank you!
[21:34] <johanesbourkg> ^_^
[21:36] <zykotic10> bigterd: be aware, you can't skip releases (what are you trying to upgrade to?  10.04 is pretty close to your version, and is still supported and once 12.04 is release you can go LTS->LTS) but for the time being you'll need 9.04->9.10->10.04 (at least)

[21:38] <bigterd> zykotic10, must be a ubuntu thing

[21:39] <virunga> i have to talk to the president it's urgent
[21:39] <Athanasius> Heh. I use Ubuntu 10.04LTS. so no unity for me =)
[21:39] <virunga> the country is in danger
[21:39] <bigshum> i honestly never thought an ubuntu installation attempt would make me cry so much
[21:40] <minixvbox> virunga: fat chance, unless you're jack bauer

[21:40] <virunga> minixvbox, XD
[21:40] <Canadian1296> I'm having some problems with postfix acessing my mysql database.

[21:40] <Fyodorovna> bigshum, what are your problems my son. :)
[21:41] <bigterd> time. i'm going to wash my ass while ubuntu does a double upgrade.
[21:41] <jakko1> I have to always enable numlock when the system reboots
[21:41] <jakko1> is there no way around that
[21:41] <pangolin> !language | bigterd
[21:41] <bigterd> haha.
[21:41] <ikonia> bigterd: that is unacceptable language
[21:41] <bigshum> my iMac is making me cry. and my google fu is apparently rubbish. g3 iMac, using the minimal ppc 11.10 disc, and it can't detect my hard drive
[21:41] <bigshum> i went through every driver in the list
[21:41] <bigshum> and failed
[21:41] <bigterd> ikonia, pangolin ubottu hahaha.
[21:41] <lilVaratep> does DIVX work with chromium on ubuntu?
[21:42] <bigterd> hm.
[21:42] <bigshum> I am back to the boot: prompt now, hoping there;s something I can type in after 'install' to see if it makes a difference
[21:42] <pangolin> !guidelines | bigterd
[21:42] <bigterd> time. i'm going to wash my arse while ubuntu does a double upgrade.
[21:42] <bigterd> hows that?
[21:43] <ikonia> bigterd: you're muted in the channel, send me a pm when you feel you can contribute again
[21:43] <Fyodorovna> bigshum, kind of a old computer to run a full ubuntu install anyway, you may be lucky it does not work.
[21:43] <Gnea> lilVaratep: got a url that still uses divx?
[21:43] <Gnea> lilVaratep: if you do, I can tell you if it does
[21:43] <lilVaratep> Gnea: Trying to watch videos on veehd.com
[21:43] <bigshum> yeah i've been trying to get hold of xubuntu
[21:43] <bigshum> to no avail
[21:43] <bigshum> I've literally spent all afternoon looking for the right distro to put on this thing
[21:43] <bigshum> I know it can be done
[21:44] <virunga> How can i share files in my lan?
[21:44] <Gnea> lilVaratep: works fine here. I'm on 11.04 with a daily chromium build
[21:44] <bigshum> i found http://www.yellowjug.com/how-to/xubuntu-linux-on-imac-g3/ but he's using 7.04 xubuntu (community driven support?) and I just can't find it
[21:44] <Gnea> lilVaratep: pretty sure it's not divx but flash playing back
[21:44] <virunga> dont say right button, share  :D
[21:45] <bigshum> nobody in xubuntu channel has a clue
[21:45] <bigshum> i went through a debian install earlier and it seemed to like it, but couldn't get the display going
[21:45] <minixvbox> !ppc | bigshum
[21:45] <Gnea> lilVaratep: what version of chromium are you using?
[21:46] <zykotic10> minixvbox: i was surprised to find 11.10 PPC 32&64bit mini ISOs
[21:46] <lilVaratep> Gnea: the newest one. I'm trying to apt-get install the codecs see if that works
[21:47] <Miqi> My whole problem started when I tried to upgrade my 64-bit Vista installation on a hard drive shared with ubuntu 11.04 The upgrade failed, and my hard drive began experiencing problems. To make matters worse, my friend installed a windows boot manager over grub. It's a long story, but I got my computer running 7 in my windows partition but couldn't access the ubuntu one. After many failed attempts even to reinstall ubuntu (which were frustrated by
[21:47] <Miqi> my hard drive being unrecognizeable to live media) I simply wiped the drive to use it as a logical storage drive in my windows partition. Now I can boot into windows through the windows mbr and fully access my hard drive but whenever I boot off of a live cd or usb linux fails to mount the hard drive, saying it has an unrecognized disklabel.
[21:47] <bigshum> yeah I've found the 10.04 xubuntu but the image is 745mb and won't it on cd and won't burn to a dvd
[21:47] <Stormx2> Yo. I get weird zlib errors. PNG images in firefox mess up and don't render properly. Sometimes I get content encoding errors from websites. Sometimes the HTML itself just seems corrupt slightly. Minecraft gives me compression errors (uses gzip), etc. Any ideas?
[21:47] <bigshum> hence going with the ubuntu minimal
[21:47] <bigshum> to try to get it working
[21:47] <Fyodorovna> bigshum, I would put puppy on it and call it a day if it was me.
[21:47] <tjiggi_fo> bigshum, the MAC(powerPC) link on this page: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/ports/releases/10.04/release/
[21:47] <Gnea> lilVaratep: what results from this command: dpkg -l | grep ^ii | grep chromium-browser | awk '{print $3}'
[21:47] <denysonique__> $ apt-get install synaptic
[21:47] <denysonique__> Package synaptic is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[21:47] <denysonique__> How can I install synaptic
[21:48] <zykotic10> !info synaptic
[21:48] <bigshum> anything that will fit on a normal CD? I don't have 800mb ones lying around
[21:48] <denysonique__> this is a debootstrap Ubuntu Oneiric instll
[21:48] <bigshum> in fact i can't remember the last time i saw an 800mb cd
[21:48] <denysonique__> univierse
[21:48] <denysonique__> hmm
[21:48] <denysonique__> ok I will try to add that
[21:48] <Gnea> bigshum: it'll go on a standard cd
[21:49] <lilVaratep> Gnea: 17.0.963.56~r121963-0ubuntu0.11.10.1
[21:49] <lilVaratep> 17.0.963.56~r121963-0ubuntu0.11.10.1
[21:49] <Gnea> lilVaratep: this is mine: 18.0.997.0~svn20120105r116462-0ubuntu1~ucd1~natty
[21:49] <lilVaratep> Gnea: so is mine not up to date or what
[21:49] <Gnea> lilVaratep: I'm using the PPA, it works much better than the so-called release
[21:49] <Gnea> !ppa | lilVaratep
[21:49] <Gnea> lilVaratep: go to that site and search for chromium, then use the daily-build
[21:49] <Gnea> lilVaratep: yup
[21:50] <lilVaratep> How would I get divx from this though?
[21:50] <Gnea> lilVaratep: no idea
[21:50] <Gnea> lilVaratep: my guess is you'd download the mp4 and then convert it to .avi using a video conversion program
[21:50] <zykotic10> lilVaratep: divx is not something chromium will play natively, you'd need some plugin to make it work.  can you play divx files on your system?
[21:50] <johanesbourkg> Miqi, i would try gparted, and try fix the disc
[21:51] <craigbass1976> I couldn't live without a taskbar...  I had to install tint.  Anyone know how to make it so that windows on desktop #2 aren't showing up in the bar when I'm on desktop#1?
[21:51] <Gnea> lilVaratep: like ffmpeg or avidemux

[21:51] <johanesbourkg> hello peter
[21:51] <Miqi> johanesbourkg: I've tried that, gparted can't read anything from the disk. It reads it as 32gigs of unformatted empty space.

[21:52] <marvrll> Hi. I have just ran do-release-upgrade (from 10.04 LTS to 12.04-beta1 LTS) and I'm wondering what will happen with my ppa's forr lucid? they will got automagically "converted" to precise?
[21:52] <tomasm-> anyone know if mysql_config is in a particular package? I have both client and server installed and don't see it
[21:52] <zykotic10> marvrll: reask in #ubuntu+1
[21:53] <LazyTown> How can I launch a file explorer as with super permission?
[21:53] <johanesbourkg> gksu
[21:53] <minixvbox> !find mysql_config | tomasm-
[21:53] <Fyodorovna> Miqi, you habe a partition table?
[21:53] <Fyodorovna> have&
[21:53] <johanesbourkg> LazyTown, gksu nautilus --no-desktop
[21:54] <zykotic10> johanesbourkg: impressive gksu & --no-desktop well done
[21:54] <johanesbourkg> sryy
[21:55] <zykotic10> johanesbourkg: good job
[21:55] <johanesbourkg> oh thnx
[21:55] <Fyodorovna> Miqi, gparted-device-create a partition table.
[21:55] <tomasm-> minixvbox, k, thanks... seems I was missing the dev files
[21:55] <Miqi> Fyodorovna:  I do, but linux can't see it because it can't mount the drive. The closest I got to that was an fdisk command that gave the sizes, locations, and formats of the Windows, Ubuntu, and swap partitions
[21:55] <maxflax> Hi, how do I set my system only to use RAM as storage and never use my HD?
[21:55] <Fyodorovna> Miqi, you would not be monuted to do this.
[21:56] <Fyodorovna> Miqi, you said gparted sees it.
[21:56] <Fyodorovna> you can't mont a empty no partition table disc
[21:57] <Fyodorovna> mount
[21:57] <Oredigger> Hello, Is there anyway to embed Pandora into Ubuntu?
[21:57] <zykotic10> maxflax: your question is a bit unclear.  Do want to run Ubuntu from RAM only, or not use SWAP?
[21:57] <Oredigger> Adobe Air isn't supported anymore :/
[21:57] <grkblood> is there a way to check if the hdmi port is in use?
[21:57] <grkblood> cd /pr
[21:57] <grkblood> oops
[21:57] <Miqi> Fyodorovna: gparted sees the drive, but since it can't be mounted, it can't see any data inside.
[21:58] <Fyodorovna> Miqi, I thought you wiped it.
[21:58] <Fyodorovna> !testdisk
[21:58] <Fyodorovna> Miqi, you want to check out testdisk
[21:58] <Fyodorovna> maybe
[21:59] <Orsb> Ctrl + Alt + F1 does not work to get to tty1. Is there any other way?
[21:59] <johanesbourkg> Fyodorovna, should we check the filesystem type?
[21:59] <johanesbourkg> Fyodorovna, like gpt
[21:59] <minixvbox> !tty
[21:59] <elijah> My windows are doing something weird all the title panes are missing, is there a keyboard binding I pressed to disable them?
[21:59] <Fyodorovna> johanesbourkg, gparted would see a gpt.
[22:00] <elijah> I am on 11.10
[22:00] <Fyodorovna> Miqi, do you have the vista reovery or install disc?
[22:00] <elijah> I don't have the restore, minimize close guttons
[22:00] <Fyodorovna> recovery
[22:00] <elijah> *buttons
[22:00] <johanesbourkg> Fyodorovna, but if it sees the label but not the partition ?
[22:00] <minixvbox> elijah: try doing this in a terminal: compiz --replace
[22:00] <Oredigger> elijah THe same thing happened to me... I had to hard restart!
[22:01] <alphasynaptic> hello, I was wondering if someone can help me run 11.10 in a sort of terminal mode. from the recovery me nu I saw the drop to root option but it opens the fs in read-only mode. i'd like to be able to execute an nvidia .run file and it won't let me execute it with a shell open
[22:01] <johanesbourkg> Fyodorovna, i''l check the available labels to see where windows can reside
[22:01] <Fyodorovna> johanesbourkg, I want o see what gprted says a screen shot would help I think.
[22:01] <Fyodorovna> to*
[22:01] <johanesbourkg> indeed
[22:01] <c0ldfyre> Having trouble with a src compiler. "I have the latest build essentials."
[22:01] <c0ldfyre> http://paste.ubuntu.com/869003/ the link
[22:02] <Oredigger> 11.10 ... the window "snap" feature doesn't always work... it's weird
[22:02] <Doctorly> I recently found a program that lets you choose to boot into an os after you have gotten to your default desktop, its not a vm. Im wondering if anyone knows what it is, my bookmarks were deleted!
[22:02] <zykotic10> elijah: are you using gnome2?  with compiz?
[22:02] <bigshum> :Gnea 745mb will go on a standard cd?
[22:03] <zykotic10> elijah: sorry 11.10 - so no to gnome2 ;)
[22:03] <Doctorly> Its pretty much grub, but after you boot. I cant find it for the life of me
[22:04] <Miqi> Fyodorovna: This was before I reformatted the ubuntu partition
[22:04] <c0ldfyre> Can someone help me with a src compilation error please?
[22:04] <alphasynaptic> Would anyone mind letting me know how I would go about booting into 11.10 in a terminal-only mode that's not read-only?
[22:04] <zykotic10> Doctorly: kvm can boot partitions from inside the OS
[22:04] <c0ldfyre> Here is a link to the print.       http://www.paste.ubuntu.com/869003/
[22:04] <minixvbox> !text | alphasynaptic
[22:04] <Doctorly> Thank you so much!
[22:05] <bigshum> Gnea: 745mb will go on a standard cd?
[22:05] <kkk> kkk
[22:05] <june> hi
[22:06] <minixvbox> !pm | alphasynaptic
[22:06] <Doctorly> Ah, thats a virtual machine though. Im looking for something that lets you access grub, basically, after you have already booted, so that you dont have to access grub every time. I have only honestly seen it once.
[22:06] <zykotic10> Doctorly: kvm can boot partitions from inside the OS
[22:06] <Fyodorovna> Miqi, sounds like a broken partition table, but just a guess, could of been made dynamic as well at some point.
[22:08] <Doctorly> zykotic10 but they are virtual machines, are they not?
[22:08] <c0ldfyre> Can someone help me with a src compilation error please?
[22:08] <c0ldfyre> Here is a link to the print.       http://www.paste.ubuntu.com/869003/
[22:08] <zykotic10> Doctorly: you can point kvm to boot your MBR, just NEVER boot the OS that's running KVM
[22:09] <ikonia> c0ldfyre: what are you trying to build ?
[22:09] <zykotic10> Doctorly: i highly doubt you could boot windows (due to hardware changes)
[22:09] <Miqi> Fyodorovna The odd thing is that when I boot into windows on the disk the drive works perfectly. I can even run disk management, which is where I changed the partition to a logical drive
[22:09] <Gnea> bigshum: a 74 minute cdr should do it: http://www.osta.org/technology/cdqa7.htm
[22:10] <Fyodorovna> Miqi, what partition did you make logical in windows?
[22:10] <alphasynaptic> Ok, so after adding 'text' without the quotes to the kernel line in my default grub entry between ro and quiet it does an audio load thing, then a battery state check, then puts the cursor onto its own line blinking but it won't accept commands.
[22:10] <TillSiebert> Might someone help me with a xrandr problem?
[22:10] <Doctorly> zykotic10: yeah, I am looking for something that reboots into a different os, but still leaves your default os default. I guess I have a lot of searching to do to find it.
[22:11] <Miqi> The one that used to be ubuntu, since I couldn't boot into it.
[22:12] <zykotic10> Doctorly: sorry, perhaps i don't understand.  Should the host distro be running or not?  Do you just want to select a different option in grub and use a command for it?
[22:12] <alphasynaptic> Ok, so after adding 'text' without the quotes to the kernel line in my default grub entry between ro and quiet it does an audio load thing, then a battery state check, then puts the cursor onto its own line blinking but it won't accept commands. Additionally, input is not even going to the screen.
[22:13] <zykotic10> Doctorly: you might want to checkout grub-reboot command
[22:14] <Fyodorovna> Miqi,  you need to learn a lot about what your doing, you have put yourself in this situation by making a series of mistakes which I have yet sen to be itemized for you to get any actual help.
[22:14] <Fyodorovna> seen*
[22:14] <zykotic10> Fyodorovna: using ubuntu might be a first step ;)
[22:14] <Fyodorovna> Miqi, honestly your beyond any help here.
[22:15] <johanesbourkg> ok, it wouldn't happen to be lvm
[22:15] <Fyodorovna> zykotic10, qworked for me. :)
[22:15] <Fyodorovna> worked*
[22:15] <Oer> Miqi, change it back then
[22:15] <elijah> Thanks to whoever told me to run compiz --something, it worked but then my box crashed due to insufficient disk space, I think space was the root cause
[22:16] <Miqi> Would you say then that my best option is to format my hard drive and start over?
[22:16] <Fyodorovna> gotta paper to write see you all on the other side.
[22:16] <capslock286> how can I make my ESP-partition work with Ubuntu? I don
[22:16] <alphasynaptic> Boot into terminal mode? Appending text to kernel line doesn't work.
[22:16] <johanesbourkg> cu
[22:16] <MonkeyDust> elijah  i have sompiz issues, too, what was your question and how was it solved?
[22:16] <zykotic10> alphasynaptic: did you run "sudo update-grub" after making the change?
[22:16] <alphasynaptic> i did the change within grub itself
[22:17] <elijah> spoke to soon, window title bars are gone again and I have 5 GB free now, what was the command again, "compiz --???"
[22:17] <elijah> MonkeyDust: Dunno yet
[22:17] <Doctorly> zykotic10: no, the host distro doesnt run. Its basically the same thing as telling grub to boot 'windows' from the 'linux' desktop. The 'windows' os is booted and thats it
[22:17] <zykotic10> Doctorly: you might want to checkout grub-reboot command
[22:17] <capslock286> How can I make my ESP-partition work with Ubuntu? I have tried to follow the guide in Ubuntu community documentation about creating a UEFI, but it doesn't seem to be compliant with the settings of oneiric or precise, or the new linux kernel as it refers to the "old" one (2.6). How can I most easily make a new partition?
[22:17] <minixvbox> elijah: compiz --replace
[22:17] <elijah> nvm compiz --replace works
[22:18] <capslock286> sorry for the long post!
[22:18] <c0ldfyre> can someone try and compile this and tell me if they get an error?        ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/sourceinstall/sourceinstall-gtk-2.5rc2.tar.gz
[22:19] <TillSiebert> Is there a way to force the computer to use just one of the connected displays and to use it with the right resolution?
[22:19] <elijah> minixvbox: Thanks, it seems to be working but the command is stuck, everything is fine now and I didn't crash but the command is stuck.
[22:19] <johanesbourkg> TillSiebert, through xrandr
[22:20] <minixvbox> elijah: just close the terminal with the command in
[22:20] <capslock286> what's the easiest way to create an ESP-partition?
[22:21] <MonkeyDust> capslock286  you mean ntfs for windows?
[22:21] <TillSiebert> joahnnesbourkg right I have a startup script that shuts down the other display and forces the right resolution to the wanted display, but on each logon the other display is still active and so the wanted display cannot use the whole screen because the other display has a lower resolution :(
[22:22] <alphasynaptic> Need assistance tailoring a grub entry to boot my kernel in text mode. Current entry doesn't load the shell but doesn't take input either.
[22:22] <MonkeyDust> pm
[22:22] <MonkeyDust> !pm
[22:23] <ikonia> c0ldfyre: why are you trying to compile gtk
[22:23] <johanesbourkg> TillSiebert, cvt 1600 1200 60 ;xrandr --newmode "the previous result";xrandr --addmode "1600x1200_60.00" VGA1 sth like that
[22:23] <ikonia> c0ldfyre: gtk is already on your system and an important part of your desktop, it will cause problems if you try to change it
[22:23] <TillSiebert> johanesbourkg  right I have a startup script that shuts down the other display and forces the right resolution to the wanted display, but on each logon the other display is still active and so the wanted display cannot use the whole screen because the other display has a lower resolution :(
[22:23] <ikonia> c0ldfyre: why are you doing this ?
[22:24] <johanesbourkg> TillSiebert, hehe
[22:24] <nsadmin> alphasynaptic, unless you make special arrangements (or boot in single-user mode), the two are unrelated (grub and daemon boot order)
[22:24] <tomvolek> HI , i am trying to make a server use static IP, i have edited the interface file and added the auto eth0
[22:24] <tomvolek> iface eth0 inet static  lines,   now when i try to  restart the networking, it says RTNETLINK answers: File exists
[22:24] <tomvolek> Failed to bring up eth0.
[22:24] <zykotic10> !info libgtksourceview2.0-0 | c0ldfyre
[22:24] <nsadmin> tomvolek, is there another iface eth0?
[22:24] <ActionParsnip> tomvolek: can you pastebin the lines you have added (or retype in a pastebin).
[22:25] <TillSiebert> johanesbourkg that's what I do, but it doesn't shutdown the other display but thinks it has to mirror the output on both so that on the display I want to use I can use only a part in the left up corner.
[22:25] <elijah> compiz jacked again after I ran compiz --replace, had to restart again
[22:25] <nsadmin> or use pastebinit into which you can pip
[22:25] <nsadmin> e
[22:25] <johanesbourkg> TillSiebert, that looks like xinerama
[22:25] <elijah> now shortly after boot the window title bars are gone again
[22:26] <ActionParsnip> nsadmin: may not have network access due to the bad file though ;)
[22:26] <minixvbox> elijah: yeah, compiz is buggy like that
[22:26] <nsadmin> ActionParsnip, ifconfig | pastebinit
[22:26] <ripper_> does anyone know how i can add a unity dock dash type search to cairo dock?
[22:26] <elijah> maybe it has something to do with nvidia settings, because after I boot I go into nvidia settings to enable my second monitor and then move windows to different workspaces
[22:26] <johanesbourkg> TillSiebert, i don't know but if you tryed to disable xinerama or twinview..
[22:26] <TillSiebert> johanesbourkq My defunct notebook screen has 1366x768, and the secondary display I use on my dekstop has 1280x1024.
[22:26] <ripper_> pretty much replacing the apps menu
[22:26] <nsadmin> also cat /etc/network/interfaces | pastebinit
[22:27] <ActionParsnip> nsadmin: if there is no network connectivity, how will the text be put on the pastebin...
[22:27] <elijah> compiz --replace doesn't seem to fix it permanently though, it works and then whole computer crashes
[22:27] <minixvbox> elijah: if you don't get the window borders on boot just add compiz --replace to the startup programs
[22:27] <nsadmin> I'm not convinced you have no net. after all, you're here...
[22:27] <TillSiebert> johanesbourkg how can I do that on a startup script? When I use the GUI it works, but I do not want to reconfigure the display settings every time I logon
[22:27] <alphasynaptic> msadmin: how do i get into a shell with write access to the fs without having the x window server open? quitting the x window server after boot doesn't allow input and neither does modifying the grub entry to  boot text mode
[22:27] <ActionParsnip> nsadmin: you also don't need cat for pastebining files, you can just run:    pastebinit /etc/network/interfaces
[22:27] <tomvolek> ActionParsnip    nsadmin  http://paste.org/46286
[22:28] <tomvolek> jsut saw this thread http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/rtnetlink-answers-file-exists-542525/
[22:28] <elijah> I ran compiz --replace and then killed it with the X in the tile bar before it could crash the system and now it is working
[22:28] <elijah> minixvbox: Where do I do that?
[22:28] <nsadmin> I understand that :) that form of the command being an exceptional case added for additional convenience
[22:28] <johanesbourkg> TillSiebert, xrandr --off ?
[22:28] <minixvbox> elijah: from unity i wouldn't know sorry
[22:29] <ActionParsnip> tomvolek: the network will be .0   not .1
[22:29] <tomvolek> sysadmin ActionParsnip   I am on ubunut 11.10
[22:29] <TillSiebert> johanesbourkg No, this does not work when I use it as a startup script. It only works when I do it manually after logging on.
[22:29] <alphasynaptic> rm -rf *
[22:29] <elijah> minixvbox: k, thanks, I will leave it for now
[22:29] <ActionParsnip> tomvolek: the network address is incorrect
[22:29] <ActionParsnip> !danger | alpha
[22:29] <tomvolek> ActionParsnip  why 1 and not 0 ?
[22:30] <minixvbox> alphasynaptic: don't do that please
[22:30] <tomvolek> you mean in interfaces file ?   let me try
[22:30] <johanesbourkg> TillSiebert, ah ,yes, there is ~.xprofile do it there
[22:30] <ActionParsnip> tomvolek: look at your netmask
[22:30] <nsadmin> alphasynaptic, probably would be a good thing to read man rm
[22:30] <TillSiebert> johanesbourkq well I will try that, thank you very much!!
[22:30] <alphasynaptic> trying to do a simple thing and get no meaningful help, at least i got a response putting that here
[22:30] <johanesbourkg> np
[22:30] <tomvolek> currenlty my  eth0 is using dhcp ...  so i wan to make eth0 as static .. so i need to change the netmask also ?
[22:31] <alphasynaptic> i know what the command does...
[22:31] <mrintegr1ty> ikonia: 19:56 < ikonia> mrintegr1ty: did you read the doucumentation on how to use it ?
[22:31] <ActionParsnip> tomvolek: you also set the network address as the same as the default gateway
[22:31] <minixvbox> alphasynaptic: that sort of attention grabbing will get you kicked quickly
[22:31] <alphasynaptic> might as well run it on my 11.10 box
[22:31] <mrintegr1ty> ikonia: was that meant for me?
[22:31] <elijah> alphasynaptic: No response means nobody knew the answer to your question
[22:31] <PhantomPhreak53> Ok I have been fighting with this all day and can't seem to get it back up and running. Basically when I do apt-get upgrade I get this error: http://pastebin.com/ZBbnx4zE I have tried reinstall php, apt-get -f install, tried removing the packages and nothing seems to work
[22:31] <alphasynaptic> so nobody has figured out a way to boot into a terminal without a shell? really?
[22:32] <alphasynaptic> kind of hard to believe
[22:32] <mrintegr1ty> ikonia: I will disable the built in dnsmasq and use a different dhcp server, turns out you have to restart all your vm's every time you add a new network :E
[22:32] <bigshum> gnea: I'm confused, that article states 74min cd-r can only take 650mb
[22:32] <nsadmin> PhantomPhreak53, this is the whole apache/php thing?
[22:32] <elijah> alphasynaptic: Or they were busy helping someone else
[22:32] <PhantomPhreak53> nsadmin: I am on nginx and php5
[22:32] <ActionParsnip> alphasynaptic: if you want to boot to text mode, add the boot option:   text     is that what you mean?
[22:32] <nsadmin> PhantomPhreak53, and that's what you want?
[22:33] <mrintegr1ty> ikonia: still the issue with default gw though, i think it should be possible to set the gw manually even when using dhcp. in the same way you can set dns resolver manually and still use dhcp
[22:33] <PhantomPhreak53> yeah that is what I want
[22:33] <alphasynaptic> i tried that action, either its failing or im putting it in the wrong spot(between ro and quiet on the kernel line)
[22:33] <nsadmin> ok, and what is going on that you don't want?
[22:33] <nsadmin> PhantomPhreak53 that is
[22:34] <PhantomPhreak53> I can't upgrade any packages and can't get that screen to clear.
[22:34] <ActionParsnip> alphasynaptic: run:  gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub     and add it in the quotes with:   quiet splash   save the new file, close gedit and run:    sudo  update-grub
[22:34] <c0ldfyre> other than build essentials what packages should I download?
[22:34] <PhantomPhreak53> and php isn't currently working
[22:34] <nsadmin> ok, which problem should be handled first?
[22:34] <ActionParsnip> alphasynaptic: if you use TAB, you can autocomplete nicks and the text will highlght
[22:34] <c0ldfyre> If I'm having trouble with compiling?
[22:34] <PhantomPhreak53> nsadmin: php seems to be the problem so php should be fixed first
[22:34] <johanesbourkg> c0ldfyre, you can try gentoo distro
[22:35] <infinity0> can someone edit this page
[22:35] <infinity0> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DashAsBinSh
[22:35] <zykotic10> c0ldfyre: did you notice the !info i sent you?  It appears this is in the default repos.
[22:35] <nsadmin> c0ldfyre, start with build-essential
[22:35] <infinity0> part of it is wrong
[22:35] <infinity0> string=$(echo $string_after | awk  '{ string=substr($1, 1, 3); print string; }' )
[22:35] <infinity0> this should be
[22:35] <infinity0> string=$(echo $string_after | awk  '{ string=substr($0, 1, 3); print string; }' )
[22:35] <infinity0> instead
[22:35] <FloodBot1> infinity0: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:35] <nsadmin> c0ldfyre, then it's possible the thing you compile needs more libs
[22:35] <infinity0> $1 -> $0 to get the whole line, not just the first space-delimited word
[22:35] <infinity0> same goes for the example just underneath it
[22:36] <tomvolek> ActionParsnip  can u tell me the difference between network and gateway ips int eh interface file, sorry I am newbie
[22:37] <capslock286> I get an error that my EFIpartition isn't mounting during boot. Its' mount name is /windows and ‎it is stated as /dev/sda3, what can I do?
[22:37] <PhantomPhreak53> nsadmin: any recomendations
[22:37] <nsadmin> tomvolek, do you have more than one machine all connected to one outgoing device?
[22:37] <zykotic10> !info libgtksourceview2.0-0 | c0ldfyre
[22:37] <freezer> tomvolek, network is the subnet e.g. 255.255.255.0, gateway is the default gateway or router IP
[22:37] <nmittal> when i enable compiz (Xubuntu) i loose all window decoration
[22:37] <nmittal> no title bar etc
[22:37] <tomvolek>  yes, i do . there are two devices nsadmin
[22:37] <nsadmin> PhantomPhreak53, what is not working about your php?
[22:38] <nsadmin> tomvolek, what are they?
[22:38] <ActionParsnip> tomvolek: the gateway is the node your system will send data to if the address is not in your system's subnet. The network IP is the address of the entire network.
[22:38] <nmittal> the only option is to choose xfwm as window manager
[22:38] <zykotic10> nmittal: what graphics card?  have you installed the drivers?
[22:38] <PhantomPhreak53> nsadmin: the php package didn't install correclty and I can't remove it with apt-get remove
[22:38] <nmittal> zykotic10, this is the onboard card on my asus mother board
[22:38] <nmittal> zykotic10, how can i tell which card?
[22:38] <zykotic10> nmittal: "lspci | grep -i vga"
[22:38] <nsadmin> PhantomPhreak53, hmm. so we should fix that first
[22:39] <capslock286> "Make the firmware launch GRUB2 (U)EFI as default" is where I get stuck following this links' instructions: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFIBooting
[22:39] <PhantomPhreak53> nsadmin: been trying all day
[22:39] <nmittal> zykotic10, 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)
[22:39] <nsadmin> could I see your sources.list?
[22:39] <jyo_> hi
[22:39] <zykotic10> nmittal: i'd figure that should work OOTB.  Good luck.
[22:39] <mrintegr1ty> tomvolek: networking initscript doesn't always clear up existing interfaces correctly. run ifconfig eth0 down and then init.d/networking restart
[22:40] <nsadmin> nmittal, could you show them the same line with lspci -nn
[22:40] <nmittal> zykotic10, thats wierd i was hoping it would be sandy bridge
[22:40] <mrintegr1ty> tomvolek: the error u got means the config is stilla ctive
[22:40] <ActionParsnip> tomvolek: so your netmask gives 253 networks, the network address will be .0 and the broadcast IP is .255   the network section of the address is 192.168.1   and anything not in that subnet will be sent to the default gateway to be sent out to the WAN
[22:40] <capslock286> has anyone tried to use these instructions? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFIBooting
[22:40] <ikonia> c0ldfyre: why are you doing this ?
[22:40] <ikonia> c0ldfyre: gtk is already on your system and an important part of your desktop, it will cause problems if you try to change it

[22:40] <nsadmin> thanks; sec...
[22:40] <waxstone_> ActionParsnip: text does not appear in list of commands for me when i try t<TAB> and ubuntu fails to load
[22:41] <jollyfish> Is it possible to use gnome classic on ubunto 11.10?
[22:41] <tomvolek> mrintegrlty i trued that..  i think there is come other palce ubunt is saving eth0  config outside of interfaces file which i am modifying and it tells me already eth0 exist
[22:41] <nsadmin> nmittal, thanks... maybe they can use the pci id that line has
[22:41] <zykotic10> waxstone_: do you get a black screen when booting regularly?
[22:41] <ActionParsnip> waxstone_: you add it in the config file I named. You can add it in root recovery mode if you want
[22:41] <nmittal> nsadmin, :-/ not sure what you mean
[22:42] <KI7MT> !nounity | KItMT
[22:42] <KI7MT> whoops, sri, was supposed to go to myself :-)
[22:42] <jollyfish> thanks
[22:42] <c0ldfyre> How would I be able to download libgtksourceview2.0-0 i'm still pretty new to this and I've tried apt-get and yum, what am I missing here?
[22:42] <mrintegr1ty> tomvolek: not really, it just means the interface already has some configuration applied. you need to clear the active config first. if your "interfaces" file is correctly configured then it should work after restarting the interface
[22:42] <waxstone_> zykotic10,ActionParsnip: my install works perfectly normally just trying to boot to terminal by following your advice. adding text in grub menu option after press shift
[22:42] <zykotic10> KI7MT: in future try "/msg ubottu nounity"
[22:42] <manne1984> I get an error that the canonical path couldn't be found when trying to do this command: http://paste.ubuntu.com/869061/
[22:43] <KI7MT> Ahh thanks.
[22:43] <jollyfish> Also, in unity, is there a way to manually make the panel retract? Sometimes I maximize eclipse, but can't get the panel to retract, so it stays covering my class trees
[22:43] <jollyfish> which is a bit annoying
[22:43] <nsadmin> PhantomPhreak53, so that shows you're not mixing (good) and you have lucid and updates to lucid
[22:43] <zykotic10> waxstone_: alternativly you could boot ubuntu and edit /etc/default/grub add text, then run "sudo update-grub"
[22:43] <glebihan> PhantomPhreak53, which ppa did you add to your system ?
[22:44] <ActionParsnip> tomvolek: you can use a more restrictive netwmask like 255.255.255.248 this will mean the network addresses will be 192.168.0.0, 192.168.0.0, 8, 192.168.0.0, 16, 192.168.0.0, 24   and so on
[22:44] <ActionParsnip> jollyfish: there are hide options in ccsm
[22:44] <PhantomPhreak53> nsadmin: what do you recomend
[22:44] <waxstone_> zykotic10,ActionParsnip: Shift then e then edit line adding text then crtl-x. Im trying to have a backup option in case ubuntu doesnt load at all hense then method instead of direct file edit
[22:44] <zykotic10> waxstone_: alternative #2 - boot ubuntu, "sudo mv /etc/init/lightdm /etc/init/lightdm.disabled"
[22:44] <nsadmin> nmittal, oh, lspci -nn also supplies something called the pci id which helpers might be able to use to help you
[22:45] <nmittal> nsadmin, i see
[22:45] <ActionParsnip> waxstone_: in the edit line, just add the word: text    next to: quiet splash    and resume the boot
[22:45] <tomvolek> http://paste.org/46288       is this correct now ?
[22:45] <ActionParsnip> !info myunity
[22:45] <alphasynaptic> ActionParsnip: Tried editing it your way and I got the same behavior, after it gives [ OK ] for the battery state check, the cursor is on the next line and doesn't accept input. And yes I did the grub-update afterwards
[22:45] <ActionParsnip> jollyfish: there is also myunity app via PPA
[22:45] <AcidRain> ActionParsnip: i know you know this one.  i want to setup a cronjob that will write my drives statistics on files (file count, certain types, simple stuff like that) to the home directory of my ftp server.  Is this going to be easy? it appears that cronjobs will only support a single line command
[22:45] <PhantomPhreak53> glebihan: ppa:nginx/php5.3
[22:45] <ActionParsnip> AcidRain: make a script, then cron the script...
[22:46] <nsadmin> PhantomPhreak53, the name of the package making all the problems is php? apt-cache policy php | pastebinit
[22:46] <nsadmin> hope I can read that output
[22:46] <tomvolek> mrintegerlty   what do you mean by cleaning active config
[22:46] <ActionParsnip> alphasynaptic: thats how boot options are added, in /etc/default/grub
[22:47] <waxstone_> ActionParsnip:  when i add between "ro text quiet splash blah blah" the system hangs and locks after * Checking battery state
[22:47] <nmittal> which package do i need to setup raid on ubuntu
[22:47] <jollyfish> I just want unity to not get between me and eclipse...
[22:47] <PhantomPhreak53> nsadmin: http://pastebin.com/cBTUKzPy
[22:47] <ActionParsnip> waxstone_: not sure then....undo the change and you will be back where you started
[22:47] <AcidRain> ActionParsnip: good idea. :/ forgot all about that. so what is the windows batch equivalent scripting in ubuntu? sry if this sounds stupid, but im kinda mind blank
[22:48] <AcidRain> perl?
[22:48] <tomvolek> mrintegrlty  ,ActionParsnip   still getting RTNETLINK answers: File exists
[22:48] <tomvolek> Failed to bring up eth0.
[22:48] <waxstone_> ActionParsnip:  thanks ill keep following the thread
[22:48] <ActionParsnip> AcidRain: bash scripts
[22:49] <ActionParsnip> AcidRain: its just a text file with the top line:   #!/bin/bash    which is executable
[22:49] <alphasynaptic> waxstone_: mind letting me know if you find a solution? i'm in the same boat
[22:49] <glebihan> PhantomPhreak53, you added another ppa than the one you just met
[22:50] <glebihan> *mentioned*

[22:50] <manne1984> how can I install GRUB2 to a EFI-partition and make Ubuntu boot through it?

[22:51] <glebihan> PhantomPhreak53, ie : https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/php5/+packages
[22:51] <elijah> For whomever was following the compiz --replace discussion before, it appears that it may be the program called smartgit that is causing my window title bars to go missing, it happens shortly after I open smartgit
[22:51] <ActionParsnip> tomvolek: all I did was copy the error which YOU pasted and slung it in duckduckgo, seems to happen a bit.
[22:52] <PhantomPhreak53> so what should I do remove that and try to update
[22:52] <glebihan> PhantomPhreak53, you should remove that one from your sources, make sure the other one is actually there and then run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade"
[22:52] <waxstone_> alphasynaptic:definitely will
[22:52] <alphasynaptic> waxstone_: thanks sir. I will do the same if I figure it out.
[22:53] <tomvolek> ActionParnsnip  interestign thing is i dont see a directiry /etc/sysconfig  at all on ubunut 11.10
[22:53] <AcidRain> what is the bash pause command?
[22:53] <nmittal> how can i setup raid on Ubuntu?

[22:54] <ActionParsnip> !raid | nmittal
[22:54] <PhantomPhreak53> glebihan: do I do a ppa-purge
[22:55] <elijah> scratch smartgit being the issue. My window title bars keep going missing, compiz --replace works for a bit, but then they go away again, any ideas?

[22:56] <Aucun> Hello, I just installed Ubuntu 11.10 on my laptop. When I first started everything was running fine. Now when I click the Software Center it just flashes the icon and doesn't start.
[22:57] <PhantomPhreak53> glebihan: what's the best way to remove that ppa
[22:57] <glebihan> PhantomPhreak53, use the software sources tool
[22:58] <droid-0854> Good afternoon
[22:58] <alphasynaptic> waxstone_: thank you so much. no more headaches. i have to wonder if it was a bug that this doesn't seem to work on the default entry
[22:58] <ActionParsnip> tomvolek: can you give the output of:   sudo apt-get install pastebinit; clear; pastebinit /etc/lsb-release     Thanks
[22:58] <Canadian1296> How do I 'reset' MySQL (remove all databases, users, etc?)
[22:58] <waxstone_> alphasynaptic:I dont question magic... once it works ;D
[22:58] <glebihan> PhantomPhreak53, if you don't find it in the menu, you can launch it with the "software-properties-gtk" command
[22:59] <PhantomPhreak53> glaucon: it's server edition
[22:59] <PhantomPhreak53> glebihan: its server edition
[22:59] <droid-0854>  When is ubuntu going  to be released for android phones and what specs will we need?
[23:00] <rfiaca> Hi. I need a organizer software, can someno advice me one? i need to manage contacts, create some tasks and get some alerts like birthsdays and stuff
[23:00] <glebihan> PhantomPhreak53, ok then delete the files corresponding to that ppa in /etc/apt/sources.list.d
[23:00] <CFHowlett> !evolution|rfiaca
[23:00] <droid-0854> Rfiaca, have you tried evolution?
[23:00] <CFHowlett> rfiaca   evolution
[23:01] <rfiaca> evolution isn't the mail client?
[23:01] <droid-0854> It does that also
[23:01] <ActionParsnip> Canadian1296: you will need to delete the tables you made first, you can then uninstall the packages like any other app
[23:01] <Canadian1296> ActionParsnip: Thanks
[23:01] <ActionParsnip> rfiaca: you mean a calendar app?
[23:02] <ActionParsnip> rfiaca: http://www.ekoob.com/best-calendar-applications-for-ubuntu-10427/
[23:02] <PhantomPhreak53> glebihan: done and after an update and upgrade I get this: E: The package php5-sqlite needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
[23:02] <rfiaca> ActionParsnip, yes
[23:03] <rfiaca> ok, thanks, i will try evolution (i need the contact manager too)
[23:03] <glebihan> PhantomPhreak53, add the "ppa:nginx/php5.3" ppa again, I don't think it was correctly added
[23:03] <whatsphere> did u guys see that: http://www.whatsphere.com ?

[23:05] <Sach> I have a file in ubuntu 11.04 which I previously encrypted and password protected. I've since forgotten my password. Is there a package which I can use to decrypt the file by bypassing the password?
[23:05] <Doctorly> zykotic10: no, the host distro doesnt run. Its basically the same thing as telling grub to boot 'windows' from the 'linux' desktop. The 'windows' os is booted and thats it
[23:05] <Doctorly> sorry
[23:08] <sleepybug1> hey guys, I have a problem here. I am in an unix shell, and I am trying to start up either my cd for ubuntu installation, or the usb. either one. can anyone help?
[23:09] <luigi69> Witam, mam taki problem z plikiem .php. Ilekroć próbuję go wrzucić na serwer Antywirus Clam się burzy w taki sposób:
[23:09] <luigi69> Virus Detected and Removed: winnow.compromised.ts.phpexploit.5.UNOFFICIAL
[23:09] <zykotic10> sleepybug1: reboot the machine and select either cd or usb to boot then?
[23:09] <KI7MT> Sach, from a Ubuntu standpoint, no there isn't.
[23:09] <luigi69> Jak mogę temu zaradzić?
[23:09] <ActionParsnip> sleepybug1: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[23:09] <Sach> KI7MT  sigh...thanks
[23:09] <luigi69> ups sorry wrong channel xD
[23:09] <sleepybug1> ActionParsnip: the iso works.
[23:09] <CFHowlett> Sach   wouldn't really be much of protection if it could be easily bypassed.  Sorry.
[23:09] <pythonsnake> ActionParsnip!
[23:10] <ActionParsnip> sleepybug1: works in what way?
[23:10] <CFHowlett> !pl|luigi69
[23:10] <sleepybug1> ActionParsnip: In the way that it will install the OS, I tested it out already.
[23:10] <glebihan> PhantomPhreak53, any progress ?
[23:10] <ActionParsnip> sleepybug1: ok, so where is the issue?
[23:10] <Sach> CFHowlett:  yes, of course.  However, I didn't say "easily"  lol
[23:11] <schmakk> i might hit the offtopic bar here, but any recommendations for choosing a streaming server? or possibly something that could play music with remote control and the option to stream via web
[23:11] <Aucun> sleepybug1: Most computers allow you to hit "F12" at the start to select a drive/cd/usb to boot from.
[23:11] <sleepybug1> ActionParsnip: long story short, using a thing called BEeN GRUBed (a spin-off of wubi) to install ubuntu. My real problem is that when I boot into BEeN GRUBed it fails to detect the cd, or it cant boot up the cd, I don't know. So I opened up a unix shell and I am trying to direct myself to the attached device (usb) to start the iso installation.
[23:12] <sleepybug1> Aucun: not that simple, but I do appreciate the advice
[23:12] <zykotic10> Aucun: that key varies a lot - it's ESC on my EEE, and F8 on my desktop
[23:12] <Aucun> Why I put "" around F12, as I'm not sure what it is on his computer.
[23:12] <PhantomPhreak53> glebihan: I get this now http://pastebin.com/gLWMYLJG
[23:13] <ActionParsnip> sleepybug1: try mounting the ISO in windows, then you can run Wubi off that
[23:13] <chelogui> hello
[23:13] <sleepybug1> ActionParsnip: not an option, wubi is not compatible under a truecrypt encryption for win
[23:13] <sleepybug1> ActionParsnip: otherwise I would use wubi
[23:14] <jakko> is there no way to put the dock at the bottom?
[23:14] <ActionParsnip> sleepybug1: ah, not sure of any of that, could go for a true install. Windows can resize it's own partition and you can install to the free space
[23:14] <KI7MT> jakko, http://www.webupd8.org/2011/10/how-to-move-unity-launcher-to-bottom-of.html
[23:15] <sleepybug1> ActionParsnip: not an option either as truecrypt limimts the size of the writable space...I am going to give you the question in a different form here in a second.
[23:15] <glebihan> PhantomPhreak53, hmm, looks like there are some broken packages in that ppa
[23:15] <ActionParsnip> sleepybug1: sounds like truecrypt is a pain and shouldn't be used ;)
[23:15] <jakko> thought it would just be a setting i was missing. SHould have known better
[23:15] <zykotic10> ActionParsnip: +1
[23:16] <PhantomPhreak53> glebihan: anything I can do?
[23:16] <sleepybug1> ActionParsnip: it is a pain, but its the only software that has a feature I need.
[23:16] <philipballew> How do i mount a drive as read write
[23:17] <glebihan> PhantomPhreak53, well you can remove that ppa and purge it. But if you need some software that was present in it, you'll have to get it from somewhere else
[23:17] <ActionParsnip> philipballew: youo dont mount drives, you mount partitions
[23:17] <ActionParsnip> philipballew: what file system does the partition use?
[23:17] <sleepybug1> Actionparsnip: "No CD-ROMs found. Perhaps the hardware does not fully support ATAPI. If your CD-ROM uses unusual I/O ports, please specify them with "--add-io-ports=P". map --hook Error 61: Refuse to hook int13 because of empty drive map table"
[23:17] <jen_> someone should really pm me to help me fix my virtualbox
[23:17] <KI7MT> jakko, here's a how too using a ppa that fixed bugs from the original post.: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/11/install-ubuntu-unity-bottom-launcher.html
[23:18] <philipballew> ActionParsnip, i want t mount my flash drive on /dev/scd. Do I not run sudo mount /dev /sdc /mountpoint? I just need to tack on another option?
[23:18] <ActionParsnip> jen_: how can they when you haven't stated your issue?
[23:18] <zykotic10> jen_: someone (you) might want to try the #vbox channel?  unless it's an issue of getting it installed in ubuntu.
[23:18] <jen_> I dont know the issue at the moment
[23:19] <ActionParsnip> philipballew: that won't work, you will mount /dev/sdc1
[23:19] <jen_> it says it could not boot the medium
[23:19] <jen_> and the virtualbox channel never helps me I get more prgress from this channel
[23:19] <ActionParsnip> jen_: did you select the ISO or CD to boot in the virtualbox's config?
[23:19] <jen_> yes its there
[23:19] <ActionParsnip> jen_: did you set the CD as a boot option?
[23:20] <CFHowlett> jen_   way too many variable effect bootability.  md5sum the iso, set/unset the pae kernel option as required, etc ...
[23:20] <jen_> err lemme see
[23:21] <jen_> yeah not sure whats wrong
[23:21] <ActionParsnip> jen_: did you MD5 test your ISO?
[23:21] <PhantomPhreak53> glebihan: how do I purge the ppa
[23:21] <zykotic10> !ppa-purge | PhantomPhreak53
[23:21] <jen_> under storage tree it has windows XP
[23:21] <KI7MT> jen_, under settings >> storage also 've also had to had to set Live CD/DVD option on occasion to get the image to boot.
[23:22] <KI7MT> .. Iv'e also had to se ..
[23:22] <jen_> it says could not read from the boot medium
[23:23] <CFHowlett> jen_   md5sum check the iso.
[23:23] <ActionParsnip> !md5 | jen_
[23:23] <KI7MT> Yeah sounds like something funky going on with the ISO
[23:24] <Trauma> quit
[23:24] <jen_> erm?
[23:24] <jen_> what is that CFHowlett
[23:24] <ActionParsnip> jen_: read the link
[23:24] <CFHowlett> md5>jen_
[23:24] <CFHowlett> !md5sum>jen_
[23:24] <glebihan> PhantomPhreak53, you can either use the ppa-purge command (package available in the repos) or manually uninstall the packages that where installed from it
[23:24] <CFHowlett> jen_   read the link, follow the procedure, eliminate one potential problem.
[23:25] <jen_> but but its something simple and it happens all the time X_X i just dont know what the heck it is
[23:25] <glebihan> PhantomPhreak53, the simplest way IMO would be to remove it, then run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" and remove the packages mentioned as causing issues
[23:26] <KI7MT> I've been using zsync for images, and I've not had an image problem with them since I started using it, also, I don't need to burn the ISO's, just select the image from the HD.
[23:26] <KI7MT> That eliminated 2 potential issues from the get go.
[23:26] <glebihan> PhantomPhreak53, according to the last error message you posted, the only packages you should have to remove would be php5-sqlite and php5-fpm
[23:27] <sleepybug1> Actionparsnip: Think I found the issue, I just need to drop the iso image in the directory of BEeN GRUBed
[23:27] <PhantomPhreak53> glebihan: when I try to remove it I get E: The package php5-sqlite needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
[23:27] <PhantomPhreak53>  
[23:28] <ActionParsnip> sleepybug1: the wonders of 3rd party stuff eh.
[23:28] <shade34321> is there any reason why after installing ubuntu I can't see anything on the monitor, after start up it just blinks at the top really fast, going to a virtual terminal does nothing
[23:29] <glebihan> PhantomPhreak53, try "dpkg --force-all -r php5-sqlite && dpkg --configure -a"
[23:29] <glebihan> PhantomPhreak53, err "sudo dpkg --force-all -r php5-sqlite && sudo dpkg --configure -a"
[23:29] <ActionParsnip> shade34321: what GPU do you use?
[23:29] <shade34321> ActionParsnip, Radeon HD6450, just got it actually since the integrated graphics didn't seem to be able to run ubuntu
[23:29] <ActionParsnip> shade34321: add the boot option:  nomodeset
[23:30] <PhantomPhreak53> glebihan: here is the response to that http://pastebin.com/00VfkJ4d
[23:30] <shade34321> ActionParsnip, what do you mean?
[23:30] <zykotic10> !nomodeset | shade34321
[23:31] <aaron_ed> hi, i just installed ubuntu 10.04 onto my new laptop and it isn't recognizing my network cards, wireless or ethernet (Atheros AR8152 and Realtek RTL8188CE).  can anyone provide me instruction on where to find the correct drivers?
[23:31] <glebihan> PhantomPhreak53, ok try "export DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_NAME=none" and the run the previous command again
[23:31] <xonix> is there an console network manager which let me choose through a list which network I like to use?
[23:32] <sleepybug1> Actionparsnip: The most retarded solution I have ever realized.
[23:32] <zykotic10> xonix: i use wicd-curses
[23:32] <PhantomPhreak53> glebihan: same thing
[23:32] <sleepybug1> Actionparsnip: basically I realized that had to be the solution because you know how wubi installs ubuntu as a program and has its directory under windows? been grubbed does the same so I just navigate to it from the shell under been grubed and then start the installation
[23:32] <ActionParsnip> sleepybug1: why is it? Do you even know what it means?
[23:33] <sleepybug1> ActionParsnip: I kinda explained it before you asked.
[23:33] <sleepybug1> ActionParsnip: it really does kick wubi's ass though, for how flexible it is.
[23:33] <sleepybug1> ActionParsnip: Only downside is that it won't work on anything other than win 32
[23:34] <ActionParsnip> sleepybug1: i don't use wubi at all. I think its a orribe solution to anything
[23:34] <ActionParsnip> *horrible
[23:34] <sleepybug1> ActionParsnip: why is it that the devices arent all recognized under wubi? When I install ubuntu under wubi the wireless drivers did not function because they could not dtect the wireless card
[23:34] <elijah> My system title bars keep disappearing, please help, this install is only a few weeks old. I am running 11.10. I have tried running compiz --replace, it works but then crashes the system.
[23:35] <ActionParsnip> sleepybug1: not sure there dude, its the same OS, just the storage of the OS is different
[23:35] <glebihan> PhantomPhreak53, hmm, looks like that ppa really messed up your package system...
[23:35] <zykotic10> elijah: you could check /var/log/Xorg.0.log or dmesg - to see if compiz is giving any hints why it's crashing
[23:35] <sleepybug1> ActionParsnip: It really is an odd issue I ran into. Hopefully this will be different, I think the method of installation is what made it so screwy.
[23:36] <Magicovento> !list
[23:36] <elijah> zykotic10: I will try that, do you think I could somehow wipe out compiz and it's config files to get it back to normal?
[23:36] <Jordan_U> sleepybug1: I seriously doubt that Wubi vs non-wubi will have any effect on wireless compatability. That said, I still generally recommend against using wubi.
[23:37] <PhantomPhreak53> glebihan: here is the policy for that package http://pastebin.com/GHKFiKmm
[23:37] <elijah> zykotic10: Or maybe install newer Nvidia drivers? I am running the "recommended" ones.
[23:37] <CFHowlett> sleepybug1   the wubi developer has stated wubi is NOT a long term solution.
[23:37] <zykotic10> elijah: i'm not sure on reseting compiz on ubuntu these days - it might be possible
[23:37] <PhantomPhreak53> I don't see what ppa it is coming from thouh
[23:37] <sleepybug1> Jordan_U: I don't know much about unix in general so you may be right.
[23:37] <zykotic10> elijah: "recommended" is probably what you should be using
[23:37] <sleepybug1> CFHowlett: I am needing it to be, so I am using an alternative that I will hopefully be able to modify.
[23:38] <glebihan> PhantomPhreak53, it probably comes from one of the ppas you removed
[23:38] <Jordan_U> CFHowlett: Do you have a reference for that?
[23:38] <CFHowlett> sleepybug1   expect heartbreaks ...
[23:38] <CFHowlett> Jordan I'll look
[23:38] <sleepybug1> CFHowlett: I already am haha.
[23:38] <PhantomPhreak53> glebihan: so why can't I remove it
[23:38] <glebihan> PhantomPhreak53, try "sudo apt-get install php5-sqlite=5.3.2-1ubuntu4.14"
[23:38] <elijah> zykotic10: thanks
[23:38] <Jordan_U> sleepybug1: Why can't you do a normal dual boot installation?
[23:38] <zykotic10> Jordan_U: i've seen that same wubi is temporary from the developer as well
[23:38] <PhantomPhreak53> glebihan: same reinstall error
[23:39] <elijah> zykotic10: I also notice that when I want to resize a window the sensitivity area is extremely small, like the buffer area doesn't even exist, I have to got exactly on the right spot in order for the cursor to change in order for me to resize a window. Do you think this is related?
[23:39] <sleepybug1> Jordan_U: I need a virtual installation (not a virtual machine or partition) under truecrypt. truecrypt doesnt offer this feature for unix and the virtual machine limits what I can do in ubuntu (and it just doesnt feel the same) a partition would just be formatted by truecrypt during encryption
[23:40] <sleepybug1> Jordan_U: So I need it to be installed as a directory of win so that I can still boot into it after I have completed the decoy os steps for truecrypt.
[23:40] <zykotic10> elijah: not related, that resizing thing is a common complaint
[23:40] <fgera> greetings
[23:40] <glebihan> PhantomPhreak53, seems to be coming from a debconf bug, you should probably try this : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debconf/+bug/706354/comments/14
[23:40] <fgera> does anyone know where I can find asus drivers for ubuntu?
[23:40] <ActionParsnip> sleepybug1: sounds like truecrypt really isnt worth it
[23:41] <zonyl> Hi All.  What is a good solution for remote X?   Is vnc still the only really good way of getting a remote session?  I started looking at FreeNX and noticed that the PPA is kinda lagging behind the current releases.
[23:41] <ActionParsnip> fgera: for what hardware, asus make a lot of things
[23:41] <fgera> for a grafic card v9560 geforce fc 5600
[23:41] <fgera> :)
[23:41] <fgera> fx 5600*
[23:41] <sleepybug1> ActionParsnip: I need the level of security it offers.
[23:41] <ActionParsnip> fgera: forget its an asus then, you are driving the nvidia chip
[23:41] <Jordan_U> sleepybug1: Why does the truecrypt encryption need to encrypt the entire disk (minus the bootloader, which is impossible to encrypt entirely). Why can't you have a Windows partition enrypted with truecrypt and an Ubuntu partition encrypted with LUKS?
[23:41] <ActionParsnip> sleepybug1: are you that paranoid.....
[23:42] <elijah> zykotic10: Good to know. K, I cat'ed the log and then coincidentally shortly after my system title bars went missing again and I cat'ed the log file again and nothing new was added
[23:42] <sleepybug1> ActionParsnip: no, my job requires it,
[23:42] <ActionParsnip> fgera: can you use http://pastie.org   and give the output of:    sudo lshw -C display;lsb_release -a; uname -a       thanks
[23:42] <sleepybug1> Jordan_U: look up truecrypt hidden OS.
[23:42] <fgera> the nvidia ubuntu driver do not recognize my grafic card
[23:42] <zykotic10> elijah: sorry i'm not sure where compiz would log to?  good luck!
[23:42] <ActionParsnip> sleepybug1: you could install ubuntu to a USB stick or SD card and have an easier time
[23:43] <elijah> zykotic10: I did see this new message in dmesg - though, "[  496.192870] gtk-window-deco[1540]: segfault at 100 ip 08056008 sp bf8b9c30 error 4 in gtk-window-decorator[8048000+1b000]
[23:43] <elijah> __________________________________________________"
[23:43] <sleepybug1> ActionParsnip: not allowed to have attachible devices connected to the computer at all times
[23:43] <zykotic10> elijah: that would probably be the error segfault, it's not very helpful however, you could try searching for some of those details to see if others have the same issue.
[23:43] <Viman> anyone knows how to configure Claws-mail to require password to access the inbox?
[23:43] <Jordan_U> sleepybug1: I'm familiar with the concept, I just think it's a little silly. If anyone is looking for truecrypt they will find it. You can't encrypt the truecrypt loader itself.
[23:43] <ActionParsnip> sleepybug1: so what about usb sticks for file storage, is that out? They do realise you can just email yourself the file and achieve the same thing. Or use dropbox
[23:44] <elijah> zykotic10: Doing it now
[23:44] <CFHowlett> sleepybug ActionParsnip   ubuntu one?
[23:44] <ActionParsnip> CFHowlett: what of it?
[23:45] <CFHowlett> ActionParsnip   as a sharing resource suggestion vs. dropbox
[23:45] <zonyl> sleepybug1: not even a mouse?  I have embedded a flash drive / hub in a mouse before ;)
[23:45] <ActionParsnip> CFHowlett: sure, same difference :)
[23:45] <sleepybug1> ActionParsnip: not allowed to send sensitive files off site, or store them off location. Jordan_U: The truecrypt is not to hide that I am using truecrypt, but to hide my real operating system
[23:45] <sleepybug1> zony1: its a laptop
[23:45] <sleepybug1> zony1: nice
[23:45] <virunga> Hi, can you explain to me why should i create a partition for /boot folder? Thank you
[23:45] <nsadmin> is there a setup for ubuntu where all audio goes thru jack?
[23:45] <Jordan_U> virunga: In most cases you shouldn't.
[23:45] <tendouser> hi someone to help me with aircrack-ng
[23:45] <ActionParsnip> sleepybug1: sounds like a pita, i work as a NOC engineer and we aren't screwed down that much
[23:45] <sleepybug1> zony1: I can use a mouse of course, but nothing like an HD, or a flashdrive, cellphone etc.
[23:45] <zykotic10> virunga: i agree with Jordan_U
[23:45] <CFHowlett> !aircrack|tendouser
[23:46] <sleepybug1> ActionParsnip: lol
[23:46] <CFHowlett> !backtrack|tendouser
[23:46] <ActionParsnip> sleepybug1: how about bluetooth transfer. BOOM
[23:46] <sleepybug1> ActionParsnip: never considered that...seeing as how it emits a signal I doubt it would be allowed but I should ask them
[23:46] <zonyl> Anyone use FreeNX? Is it worth installing?
[23:47] <nsadmin> what's freenx?
[23:47] <ActionParsnip> sleepybug1: loopholes are the key
[23:47] <fgera> ActionParsnip: so my nvidia is useless for ubuntu?
[23:47] <KI7MT> virunga, that's a topic that is very subjective to personal preference, some admins do it, others dont, they all have their reasons for both.
[23:47] <zykotic10> nsadmin: similar to vnc, but faster
[23:47] <sleepybug1> ActionParsnip: until it costs me my job lol
[23:47] <ActionParsnip> fgera: I asked for a pastebin, which you haven't given
[23:47] <tazthespaz> Hey, I just installed ubuntu 11.10 on my friends computer but it wont allow him to drag windows between workspaces
[23:47] <CFHowlett> zonyl   freenix hasn't been updated since 2008 ...
[23:47] <fgera> sec
[23:47] <tendouser> but I have Oneiric
[23:47] <ActionParsnip> fgera: i asked for it very clearly......
[23:48] <shade34321> ActionParsnip, that did not seem to fix my problem, well sort of, it shows a black screen now but I can get to a virtual terminal
[23:48] <shade34321> I'm installing updates now and will probably play with it later since i have hw and work to do
[23:48] <ActionParsnip> fgera: then you come back with " so my nvidia is useless for ubuntu?" instead of giving the pastebin........ go figure
[23:48] <zonyl> CFHowlett: yah, I noticed.  Im desperate for a better remote solution though than vnc or X-tcp.  Just cant believe how there isnt a supported vector based remote solution.
[23:48] <ActionParsnip> shade34321: you can run updates from there, may help
[23:48] <virunga> Jordan_U, zykotic10 KI7MT but if i have that partition and i have a dual boot pc, i erase the / partition (not the /boot one), then will the other os run ?
[23:49] <Jordan_U> virunga: If you're careful not to change partition numbering in the process, yes.
[23:49] <AcidRain> in bash, when i use 'sed' to replace text within a file, why do i lose all of my linebreaks?
[23:49] <CFHowlett> zonyl   check the "see also" suggestions  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NX_technology
[23:50] <Jordan_U> AcidRain: What is the exact command you're running?
[23:50] <virunga> ok thank you all, bye!
[23:50] <AcidRain> Jordan_U: newtext=`sed '14s/.*/Number of Files: '$files'/' ReadMe.txt`
[23:50] <zykotic10> AcidRain: also, is it an MS or Unix text file?  They're different.
[23:50] <fgera> ActionParsnip: is this that you need? <script src='http://pastie.org/3522298.js'></script>
[23:51] <AcidRain> plain text document (text/plain)
[23:51] <ActionParsnip> (23:42:23) ActionParsnip: fgera: can you use http://pastie.org   and give the output of:    sudo lshw -C display;lsb_release -a; uname -a       thanks
[23:51] <zykotic10> AcidRain: yes, but MS uses a different linebrake strategy then unix
[23:52] <zonyl> CFHowlett: thanks hadnt thought about looking there
[23:52] <AcidRain> zykotic10: microsoft?
[23:52] <CFHowlett> zonyl   good luck.
[23:52] <AcidRain> why does linux even have that option to make a ms text file?
[23:52] <zykotic10> AcidRain: yes Microsoft doesn't know how to create a proper text file - except "edit"
[23:52] <AcidRain> how do i create a normal unix text file
[23:53] <ActionParsnip> AcidRain: it has different line endings for CR
[23:53] <XVampireX> AcidRain, just make a file and open it in an editor :P
[23:53] <AcidRain> XVampireX: thats what i did... i dont even own a MS comp
[23:53] <Jordan_U> AcidRain: The backticks are what are stripping the newlines.
[23:53] <XVampireX> AcidRain, so you did right :)
[23:53] <AcidRain> Jordan_U: but i tried ealier, i cant set a command to a variable without the backticks
[23:54] <XVampireX> for programming purposes eh
[23:54] <tendouser> How to know if my driver is the compat-wireless patche one?
[23:54] <aciduk> hi any one had expierence with LACP and Ubuntu ?
[23:54] <aciduk> Bonded networks
[23:55] <Jordan_U> AcidRain: I recommend you ask in #bash.
