PraxiFuZi0N, in a nutshell, the guy in that thread redownloaded00:02
FuZi0N10.0400:02
Quantum_Iongdea73, +1 thats google stuff lol00:02
Praxido you know if your x64 or x86 FuZi0N?00:02
FuZi0Nso you think it was a corrupted download?00:02
FuZi0Nx8600:03
Quantum_IonFuZi0N, How much memory ?00:03
gdea73Quantum_Ion: lol00:03
dr3mrodo you guys know  how to disable cd rom of usb modem from automount00:03
Praxiand you downloaded the x86 version of of vmware player?  that thread, the guy had downloaded a version that was too old for his version of ubuntu00:04
schnuffleFuZi0N: Apprently you need to patch some modules http://superuser.com/questions/139656/how-do-i-install-the-vmware-player-on-ubuntu-10-04-when-it-hangs00:04
schnuffleSo maybe you can use VirtualBox?00:04
PraxiI'm new to linux also, but I do work with vmware alot FuZi0N :)00:04
gdea73is it possible to use over 3GB of RAM on a 32-bit Ubuntu install if you use PAE?00:04
gdea73(and is that optimal compared to using a 64-bit install, for compatibility, drivers, etc.?)00:04
FloodBot1!netsplit00:05
ubottunetsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit00:05
dr3mrogdea73, not all CPUs support PAE00:05
gdea73and please excuse me if what I just said made absolutely no sense.00:05
=== `mOOse` is now known as m00se
pragmaticenigmaYou can use up to 4 GB of Ram on a 32 bit system00:05
pragmaticenigmaPAE has no effect gdea7300:05
gdea73ah okay. I thought there was some sort of kernel switch (At least for 32-bit XP) that would allow over 4GB.00:05
gdea73but I figured it was truly the limitations of the architecture - okay that's fine.00:05
FuZi0N2GB00:05
pragmaticenigmanope.. gdea73, its a limitation of the archetecture00:06
gdea73oh, so it's not plural, sorry :P00:06
gdea73lol just messing00:06
=== pdtpatr1ck is now known as 18VAAAKBB
Quantum_Ionpragmaticenigma, That's true I usually ask how much ram because if it's over 4GB most likely it's 64bit00:06
FuZi0Nim not a big fan of virtualbox and i already got my virtual machine made in vmware00:06
gdea73though out of curiosity, did 16-bit systems have an even smaller memory access limit?00:06
gdea73(would it be 64MB?)00:06
pragmaticenigmagdea73: Yes00:06
songerhello00:06
schnuffleFuZi0N: Then you'll need to patch vmware player00:07
pragmaticenigmagdea73: you can calculate it00:07
Quantum_Iongdea73, I think a Sega Genesis was 16 bit I wonder how much memory it had ?00:07
gdea73pragmaticenigma: I think I attempted to a while ago, in my head, when I came up with 64M. that's why I was wondering if I was right.00:07
Praxischnuffle, looking at that thread you posted, that was a hang during install?  I think FuZi0N got it installed succesfully, just can't launch it?00:07
gdea73Quantum_Ion: lol; random...00:07
pragmaticenigmagdea73: sounds a little low00:07
FuZi0Nyes00:08
Quantum_Iongdea73, Just out of curiousity had to google it00:08
FuZi0Nwhen i try to launch it00:08
schnufflePraxi: Yes, but the problem is that for getting it up and running you need to fix some vmware kernel modules00:08
FuZi0Nit takes me to a screen saying im missing the right kernel00:08
gdea73Quantum_Ion: I tried to before, and I never found anything.00:08
gdea73pragmaticenigma: you may be right... I don't know. It was a guess basically.00:08
itaylor578 bit systems had a 64M memory limit00:08
FuZi0Ni dont think there is a patch for the newest version is htere?00:09
Quantum_IonThe closet I cam was this The Sega Saturn has a small internal memory about 2MB00:09
schnuffleFuZi0N:  which one have you running? uname -a to get that info00:09
pragmaticenigmaoh... I'm sorry gdea73 ... PAE does affect the maximum amount of memory00:09
gdea73itaylor57: ah, alright... so then in that case, it would be...00:09
gdea73pragmaticenigma: yes that's fine I came to that conclusion. I wasn't going to use it. Just wondering.00:09
gdea73I wonder about random things. All the time. :D00:09
Quantum_IonThe Sega Saturn was the first video game console to break the 32 bit barrier00:10
pragmaticenigmaThough PAE would not be as efficient as having a 64 bit processor00:10
gdea73wait... but you know, itaylor57, 64 is the square root of 4096M (32-bit limit). I thought that there would be one exponent between each successive (power of two)-bit architecture... ?00:10
gdea73I can't use a half-exponent and I doubt it's a coincidence that the 32-bit limit is the square of that of the 8-bit architecture.00:11
Quantum_IonThose old videogame consoles were so classic00:11
pragmaticenigmagdea73: it's based in octal notation...00:11
pragmaticenigmaerr... sorry ... hexal00:11
gdea73pragmaticenigma: oh wait, sorry, I totally misread your post. It *does* affect the maximum memory? Interesting. Still don't plan on using anything like that.00:11
gdea73ah, that would make sense, regarding the hex notation00:11
gdea73I'm a little brain-dead for doing some math calculations right now though.00:12
Quantum_IonThe first Nintendo was 8 bit WOW00:12
gdea73I have one! NES FTW!00:12
gdea73I used to play Super Mario Brothers 3 on that alll the time :D00:12
gdea73back in the day.00:12
Quantum_IonCome a long way since the days of the 8 bit console00:12
FuZi0Nim running the latest version00:12
FuZi0N4.0.500:12
gdea73so true, console gaming has come an incredible way. Gaming in general. The sheer amount of polygons one could render in a mere second of GTA IV, for example, is just incredible.00:13

pragmaticenigmaokay guys... I think we should stick to helping others with issues... and not clog up the room with !ot stuff00:13
gdea73during Ubuntu setup, does it download packages before or after "Copying files..."? Because copying files is taking long enough and from experience I've noticed that the first update takes like an hour on my connection.00:13
=== Nine_9_ is now known as Nine_9
gdea73pragmaticenigma: alright, fair enough... I'll leave in the meantime while my HD formats.00:14
newtolinCan I setup luks in a way so that I have to enter my passphrase only once before booting for mounting volumes on 2 different hard drives? (truecrypt on win can do that, if the volumes have the same passphrase.) If not: what do you think of storing a keyfile for the second disk on the first disk an setup auto mount with that instead of a passphrase?00:14
PraxiFuZi0N, here is a interesting link farther down in schnuffle 's thread http://jbmoore61.blogspot.com/2010/02/fixing-vmware-workstation-652-and-linux.html  talks about kernel version and a few other things00:14
pragmaticenigmagdea73: Did you get any further on your project?00:14
gdea73pragmaticenigma: I'm working on it, to some extent, now - I'm reinstalling Ubuntu 10.10 for now, hoping I can get a more stable fglrx system. I was going to try 10.04 but my only CD-Rs are terrible at the moment, and I can't find my USB stick, so I'll just use my existing CD of 10.10 x64.00:15
pragmaticenigmadoes fglrx have support for 64bit?00:15
gdea73the only CD-Rs I have access to are these Memorex "Music" CD-Rs, which make any CD-ROM drive vibrate in terror when inserted. They sound like they're going to explode if I try to write to them, kind of like in that Mythbusters episode... :P00:15
gdea73fglrx, I thought, did.00:16
pragmaticenigmagdea73: You can select a lower burn speed when burning discs00:16
gdea73I'm pretty sure it does, it has separate packages for x64.00:16
pragmaticenigmagdea73: K, just checking00:16
FuZi0Nhow do i uninstall the current version of vmware i have installed?00:16
gdea73pragmaticenigma: I know I can use slower burn speeds, its just that I tend to get erratic CDs with this particular CD-R. Just spinning one up causes that horrible noise, and a lot of vibration, preventing a successful burn. cheap media...00:17
gdea73* batch of CD-Rs.00:17
FuZi0Nnvm00:18
pragmaticenigmagdea73: I lost a nice Sony DVD-RW drive to a bad disk... good idea to use those disks sparingly00:18
CFHowlettFuZi0N   sudo apt-get purge vmware00:18
schnuffleFuZi0N: sudo vmware-installer -u vmware-player should do the trick00:19
gdea73pragmaticenigma: ouch, yeah I figured I'd wait until I can buy a new batch of 50, this time normal data CD-Rs.00:19
Praxigotta run for beer and mexican food, good luck FuZi0N sounds like schnuffle's got ya covered :)00:19

droid-0854Tunix, look up ubuntu forks00:25
schnuffleFuZi0N: Still waiting for your kernel version. Vmware Player 4.x needs a 64Bit kernel. So first thing to check, is your kernel 64Bit00:26
itaylor57Tunix2, did you just upgrade to 11.10?00:26
Praxiwaiting for my ride for mexican food, tunix ubuntu 2d is for lower performance systems http://lifehacker.com/5735942/unity-2d-speeds-up-ubuntus-unity-interface-on-low+powered-computers00:27
schnuffleFuZi0N: So if you have only 32Bit you'll have to install the old version 3.x00:27
Tunix2itaylor57: I install from a 11.10 CD00:27

ubottuTunix2 if you want more like gnome classic: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default.  To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool".  For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic00:28

cassiereroniOk, now about this secondary master drive that I have, how would I get it to start up if I can't get windows to load when I hook the power back to it?01:27
`Korvincassiereroni: is it an ide drive?01:28
schnufflecassiereroni: is it a IDE drive. If so you need to change it to slave mode. Normally there's a sticker on the HDD which states which conf is used for slave mode01:28
cassiereroniI'm so afraid that I'm going to mess this up and have a very expensive bookend in the end! :(01:28
`KorvinWhat schnuffle said01:28
cassiereroniKorvin, ummm I'll have to check to be sure.01:29

`Korvindo you know how to tell the difference?01:29
nicekiwiI have an Ubnutu LiveCD and a SSD drive that just died.. can I access the SDD somehow?01:30
schnufflecassiereroni: You have always the option to boot you ubuntu system from the CD to test it. So the first step - booting from a ubuntu install CD won't change anything01:30
schnufflenicekiwi: You can try to mount it of course01:30
`Korvinnicekiwi, boot up into the live cd and attempt to mount it01:30
cassiereroniAh ha!  schnuffle, when I looked at the drive real quick the other day I did notice that that drive was set to slave01:30
`Korvinif it doesn't mount you're most likely sol01:30
nicekiwischnuffle: the BIOS odsnt detect the drive..01:31

`Korvintry usb as esata relys on the computers motherboard01:32
schnufflecassiereroni: On a IDE bus you can connect 2 drives but one has to be in master mode, the other in slave mode. There's a third option cable select, but I wouldn't use it01:33

itaylor57!java | spacebarbarian02:03
ubottuspacebarbarian: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software  Development Kit" (SDK).  Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations.02:03
zykotic10JoseeAntonioR: "replaced" ??? really.02:03
itaylor57spacebarbarian, you can still run which ever java you wish to02:04

dr_willisits normally easier to make a custome x session then removeing the panels04:13
gdea73Ian_Moone: okay, I am pretty sure that's doable. Well first try ending the gnome-panel(s?) process in Gnome System Montior04:13

gdea73if anyone ever wants to know, ever... I enabled the discrete graphics in BIOS, installed Catalyst, KEPT catalyst on the powerful GPU setting04:33
gdea73and then rebooted, disabled the discrete graphics in BIOS, and Catalyst just uses the most "powerful" available, which is then just the integrated GPU :D04:34

tanathscientes, like what you get from 'lethe'?06:02
scientestanath, its not packaged, and the sf page is in french06:03
kanliothow do you reboot in unity06:03
kanliot?06:04
scientestanath, ubuntu livecd does it with overlayfs06:04
tanathscientes, nevertheless, it works. you install and set up, and when you reboot it's back as it was06:04
scientesusing squashfs06:04
dr_williskanliot:  logout/exit somthhing in top right menu item06:04
tanathscientes, like deep freeze for windows06:04
scientestanath, no, i want to allow modifications, but ALLOW a factory reset06:04
scientesnot REQUIRE06:04
scientesthere is a difference06:04
kanliotnope, just shutdown and suspend.  no reboot06:04
tanathscientes, you boot thawed for that06:05
scientesand with squashfs it would be more compressed06:05
Fyodorovnakanliot, the shutdown leads to a reboot or shutdown gui.06:05
scientescause its specifically designed for ro06:05
dr_willisshutdown asks.. i thought. but im on 12.x06:05
afsalhow to install jahshaka???06:05
tanathscientes, then reboot back into frozen mode after making changes06:06
kanlioti'm on 12.04 too.  still can't find reboot.  thanks anyhow.  :)06:06
scientestanath, oh, its based on aufs06:06
tanathscientes, then any changes don't stick06:06
scientesaufs is no longer in lubuntu kernel, they have moved to overlayfs, which might get merged06:06
dr_williskanliot:  shutdown - reboot in the dialog . i recall06:06
scientestanath, ahhh i gotcha, that is a differn't use case than i have thought of, useful software, but i dont think its what i want06:07
scientestanath, if you use btrfs with snapshots you can do the same thing, but in real time, without rebooting06:07
tanathscientes, if you want to be able to go back to original setup before any changes, then make a separate backup06:07
scientes(well you have to reboot to go backwards on your main disk most likely, might cause stability problems otherwise)06:07
afsalanybody know how to install jahshaka??? any repository??06:08
* zykotic10 thinks "sudo shutdown -r now" would probably work06:08
scientestanath, that just wastes alot of space06:08
tanathscientes, sounds functionally like a virtual machine06:08

harsh343please help me I am newbie in ubuntu06:08
dr_willissounds like stuff tinycore. or puppylinux is doing.. but im just skimming thr channel06:08
tanathscientes, a single backup of original setup so you can do a real 'factory reset' ?06:08
tanathscientes, not of everything, just of the _original_ setup06:09
harsh343dr_willis, hi06:09
scientestanath, yeah, its cooler, if you can actually  use the original setup, while also not changing it, and keeping your changes06:09
tanathscientes, in case you make changes you regret06:09
scientesanyways, it seems you arn't thinking as much about what is possible06:09
Splooshie123harsh343, are you trying to mount an ntfs partition?06:11

tanathcan anyone explain why this always fails? won't accept any password: http://pastebin.com/99WZ1TDt06:11
zykotic10Splooshie123: all the NTFS stuff would seem to indicate yes ;)06:11
harsh343Splooshie123, rightnow i am not trying anything I have install XP and ubuntu some month before anyways it working fine before but from some days problem occurs with my D Drive when i click on D drive in ubuntu i got this message, while in XP it works fine06:12

harsh343Splooshie123, hows ?06:13
Splooshie123harsh343, what about your C drive? can you mount that?06:13
scientestanath, SuSe and fedora are probably going to use it by default in the semi-near future06:13
Splooshie123sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs06:13
harsh343Splooshie123, C drive open fine06:14
harsh343only problem with D Drive not open06:14

scientesmy root is btrfs06:16
dr_willisscientes:  it will do a normal install. your persistant file changes will not get moved over06:16
tanathscientes, that must be from a custom/3rd-party repo06:16

harsh343dr_willis, any help06:18
tanathscientes, using apt-cache06:18
dr_willisharsh343:  with what?06:18

zykotic10ApocGoD: in a perfect world i'd suggest intel (but wait, they don't make "cards"), so nvidia with it's propritary driver gets my vote.  ATI was SO late in the game, when nvidia could run 3d under linux/bsd/solaris.06:19
tanathor gdebi06:20
lifestreamI'm trying to style a gtkrc file but I can't figure out the styleproprety for this "gripper". If you open thunar, then open the sidebar, see how there's a gripper to adjust the width? What's that styleproprety called? Thanks!06:20

dr_willisharsh343:  io error = disk may be dieing06:21
harsh343dr_willis, in windows D drive works fine but not in ubuntu so what i can do ?06:21

tanathscientes, aptitude06:22
scientesahh gotcha06:22
tanathscientes, er, apt-get, since i pasted06:22
ApocGoDHow do I whisper you back, Zykotic10?06:22
tanathscientes, weird, gparted still won't let me make btrfs06:22
scientesyeah aptitude has all sorts of wierd groupings so you have to hit "/" "<enter>" alot to search around06:22
zykotic10ApocGoD: don't ;)  just kidding "/msg zykotic10 foo"06:22
tanathscientes, oh, i just pass paramaters and use it like apt-get. don't really use the interface06:23
dr_willisharsh343:  and last week my goldfish was fine.. now hes dead...06:23

tanathscientes, oh, i think i figured it. unallocated space was too small :P will let me do it to a usb06:27
dr_willisi never can rember the mode setting for that zykotic1006:27
harsh343dr_willis, so what i can do now my goldfish is died06:27
harsh343?06:27

dr_williszenith:  perhaps some of the fuse tools.06:27
zykotic10dr_willis: +R06:27
dr_willisharsh343:  you did do as it said and let windows check the fs?06:28
zenithdr_willis, really?06:28
tanathscientes, so how would i actually make use of the fancy btrfs stuff?06:28

cipher__can i develop with opengl 4.x on linux? or is mesa my only option (at spec 1.3)06:34
tanathscientes, can't. as i said, it's a loop06:35
scientestanath, it requires a few clicks in firefox, but it works06:35
tanathscientes, i don't really use firefox06:35
tanathscientes, this looks like a possible downside of btrfs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Btrfs#Transactions06:35

dr_willisbbl.  battry is dead.06:36
scientestanath, that is actually a feature that no other filesystem has06:36
rurufufussdr_willis: what's the name of the program by any chance?06:36
zykotic10rurufufuss: i really want to say "yes" but can't remember the proof.  good luck... gnu/linux "clipboard" has been a nightmare forever (how many are there?  3 i think?)06:36
scientestanath, you are just getting mislead by the word "very limited"06:36
scienteswhich is really in comparison with databases, not filesystems06:36
scientesand only a very specific type of databses at that06:37
tanathscientes, hrm, just a chrome thing it seems. prolly 'cause i block cookies by default or something06:37
rurufufusszykotic10: well, there's the x selection (middle click) and the other one..06:37
scientestanath, no, its much easier in chromium to override ssl errors06:37
zykotic10rurufufuss: i know at one point i could name a 3rd ;)06:37
scientestanath, you just have to click the "go to site" button06:37
tanathscientes, i clicked proceed anyway, and it didn't work. back at same place06:38
tanathwent to http, and it forwards back to https06:38

scientesafter clicking that purple bar, and then clicking "more information"06:40

tanathscientes, yes06:43
scienteswell fuck me i have no idea06:43
hydrox24_tanath: fair enough. but how is www. depreciated? I thought it was simply auto-completed when you typed without it in modern browsers?06:43
scientesthat certificate is good06:43

wifioregonMy friend wants me to burn him 300 copies of his music cd.  Using Ubuntu 10.04, what is the best way to rip the cd in its best quality possible and burn it?  I've been using k3b, but it makes me copy the from the master disc first and then stick in the blank disc. (I only have one drive). THANKS06:54
scienteswifioregon, just copy the CD to an .iso06:55
scienteswhich is an EXACT copy of the original06:55
frankpadguest0012983, check out http://tcts.fpms.ac.be/synthesis06:55
wifioregondo you know the best way to make it into an iso?06:55
scienteswel i could do it with dd, but you should probably avoid that06:55
scientesand use brasero06:56
linux_probe300 copies, wow, that will take some time :-p06:56
wifioregonI know!!! but he's paying $40006:56

wifioregonscientes:  thanks by the way06:56
scienteswifioregon, basically pay 20c, not 10c per CD06:56
scientesand you will be fine, audio CD's don't need as good of CDs, cause they have alot of error check codes and its very low density06:57
wifioregonso I should just set k3b to "auto" for speed?06:57
scientesif you have a 52x burner (you should), burn it at 48x06:57
wifioregonoh okay06:57
wifioregonthanks!06:57
tanathscientes, well, i found a downside, and a reason distros shouldn't adopt btrfs yet: "The Btrfs disk format is not yet finalized, and it currently does not handle disk full conditions at all. Things are under heavy development, and Btrfs is not suitable for any uses other than benchmarking and review."06:58
scientesand if you have buffer underrun protection (you should), then there is no problem in burning fast06:58
scienteswifioregon, all that "burn it slow" stuff came from a time when there was no buffer underflow protection06:58
wifioregonscientes:  sorry but I'm not seeing how to create an iso using brasero06:58
tanathscientes, i always have issues with brasero. nothing beats k3b06:58
lazikI have a motherboard with a i7 but the lan chipset is a seperate powerpc subsystem. It's a freescale powerquicc processor with an ethernet controller. In ubuntu 11.10, no driver kick in to support it. However in the extended kernel drivers, I found freescale source code for drivers. I should be able to recompile the new linux kernel, install and use the device?06:58

scientesand you might have to also uninstall ubuntu-restricted-extras07:06
scientesRounin, ^07:06
RouninAh... So either you get one extra or all of them, eh :P07:06
scientesfrankpad this is the linux/mac driver, so try here: http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/index.html07:07
scientesfrankpad, (and you already have that driver, so dont try installing it)07:08
tanathscientes, also rather important: "Btrfs does not yet have a fsck tool that can fix errors"07:08
scientestanath, please dont tell me things i know07:08
scientesRounin, any luck?07:08
frankpadThat's right. I have that driver installed. So how can I continue printing?07:08
tanathscientes, give me telepathy and we'll see07:08
tanathscientes, was making a point07:09
scientesRounin, also try apt-get purge ttf-mscorefonts-installer07:09
tanathscientes, btrfs sounds good, and i was ready to jump in, but it's not ready yet07:09
scientesfrankpad, i don't know, but you might try to figure it out at that site07:09
RouninI've already done that several times, scientes, and I can't do it again without running dpkg --configure -a and apt-get -f install and so on07:10
frankpadObviously HP wants me to buy a new cartridge but this one is full of toner.07:10
RouninSince aborting the corefonts thing causes the upgrade process to be interrupted07:10
scientesRounin, its apt-get -f install that is bringing the package back07:10
RouninCanonical must really want me to have those fonts07:10
scientesRounin, you have to get rid of the package that depends on that package07:10
tanathfrankpad, hate those shenanigans. refilled one myself and reset the ink level, and it still acts like there's no ink after a couple sheets07:10
RouninAh! So perhaps I can find out what packages depend on it, and that'll solve it07:11
tanathfrankpad, i heard you need an older printer without the chip to be able to refill successfully07:11
frankpadtanath, I don't mind the indicator... but the printer won't print at all07:11
scientesRounin, and if you are in an infinite loop, try it with dpkg -r  ttf-mscorefonts-installer07:11
scientesRounin, which bypasses all dependancy resolution07:11
frankpadI get a message saying that there is no toner when test pages come out so bold07:12
tanathfrankpad, no, apparently it doesn't just complain about ink, but actually acts as if it wasn't refilled07:12
tanathdue to the chip07:12
tanathto force you to buy more07:12
scientes^^^^^07:12

tanathszal, vid shows a likely expensive solution that may be good in a commercial setting, but what about home or small business users?07:29
szaltanath: pretty futile to do so, you're breathing toxic dust if you do.. better have that done by a company that specializes in that, or buy refill cartridges07:29
tanathszal, what are you talking about? no toxic dust when i refilled mine...07:30

=== david is now known as Guest58564
tanathszal, the point is they're pulling shenanigans to force people to unnecessarily buy replacements when we could refill them ourselves. did you know printer ink is more expensive than oil or human blood?07:31
tanathszal, that should be user choice though. chip prevents that07:31
frankpadI agree07:31
tanathi have a refill kit and a couple printers. can't really use it though due to the damned chips07:32
szalover here in Germany there are shops that refill your cartridges for you, claiming to have cracked almost all manufacturer locking chips07:33

Belial`the core i3 seems to use the i915 module. i have an optimus laptop which i know isn't "officially" supported. i blacklisted the nouveau driver, which was also throwing an error at boot time. that fixed one problem. however, the intel gpu is what is used by default. and actually, it's the only thing that can be used officially without intervention from 3rd party projects such as "bumblebee" (which makes use of my nvidia 420m.) i was just wondering what i n08:20
Belial`eed to do to get rid of my "kernel: intel ips [...]: failed to get i915 symbols, graphics turbo disabled" boot time message. on arch it was a bit different.08:20
ikoniaBelial`: is it just the boot message you want to get rid of, or is something actually failing at boot time that you are not happy about ?08:21
adrianocctt08:21
=== adriano is now known as Guest30896
Belial`ultimately i'd like to just not have the message. everything seems to work fine. but it's affecting boot time. and it seems like it's an actual error.08:22
ikoniahow is it effecting boot time08:22
Belial`although, to be honest, i have no clue what it's doing to impact me in a negative way aside from boot time.08:23
Belial`it's hanging for a few seconds.08:23
Belial`and then displaying it08:23
Belial`i'm just being picky about not wanting errors showing up on boot.08:23
Belial`and it's not ubuntu's fault. it's pretty much every distribution i've used.08:24
ikoniathe error suggests, there is 915 module functionality that is not supported with your card08:24
ikoniaso I'd guess depending on what the module that's failing is and what it does disabling that module would be the short and simple answer08:24
ikoniabut I doubt that will be an option as it's probably something that's critical to your functionality08:24
Belial`well for instance, when i had the message on arch, i went to /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and added it to the modules line08:25
Belial`then ran mkinitcpio -p linux08:25
Belial`which fixed the problem. i guess i'm just looking the ubuntu way.08:25
stefgikonia, Belial` : That probably has something to do with the "intel HD graphics" embedded graphics engine on the i3. that is not properly supported yet i guess08:26
Belial`ah08:26
Belial`so it's basically just putting a band aid on it?08:26
ikoniayeah, there is information on a later kernel having an update but it's still not properly supported08:26
Belial`ok08:27
Belial`either way, everything *seems* to be working fine.08:27
Belial`so i guess that's all that matters.08:27
stefgBelial`: your machine has the intel graphics embedded on the cpu. that is used for low power. If it comes to graphics intensive applications the machine is supposed to switch to the more powerful, but more power hungry nvidia chip. I don't think, X supports that at the moment08:28
Belial`it doesn't08:28
Belial`that's why i use bumblebee08:28
ikoniaBelial`: there is an interessting suggestion on the arch wiki about using the boot option i915.modeset=108:28
Belial`i saw that08:28
Belial`i might give that a try08:28
ikonialooking at the docs that can disable some of the more advanced features, possibly some that are being requested when your system boots08:29
frankpadHow can I reset the CE285A (85A) cartridge chip (or set Ubuntu to bypass it) so I can print?08:29
auronandacefrankpad: check your printer manual08:29
Belial`i'll give it a shot. i know it's just me ocd'ing out on it. because i know i never noticed a difference other than shaving maybe 2 seconds of boot time on arch when i fixed it.08:30
frankpadI don't think HP wants me to bypass the chip... but I will check it anyway08:30
Belial`sorry for the rocky start, ikonia08:32
Belial`i'm just a bit edgy right now i guess.08:32

ikoniaEdisto: ok, then you are not in the group "root" so you've not changed the permissions08:34

ubottufsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot08:35

Jordan_UBelial`: The fact that whoever wrote that command doesn't understand how the shell works enough to understand it won't work, *and* the fact that they must not have tested their instructions, does not bode well for the value of the rest of their advice.08:39
Belial`Jordan_U, i hear you. seems to be hit or miss judging from replies.08:40
Belial`Jordan_U, i take it your suggestion is to avoid that "fix"?08:42
Jordan_UBelial`: Unless you can get a confirmation from a more reliable source, yes.08:42

Burnmohhmm09:31
romario333ok, I should probably ask rather at #ubuntu-unity :-)09:31

ubottuBurnmoh: Tor is a program to route connections through several servers for anonymity. It is in Ubuntu's repositories, but the Tor Project recommends using their Tor packages due to past issues with Ubuntu's.

frankpadHow can I reset the CE285A (85A) cartridge chip (or set Ubuntu to bypass it) so I can print? The manual states: "When a print cartridge reaches the end of its estimated useful life, the product turns on the toner09:38
frankpadlight on the control panel. You do not need to replace the supply at this time unless print quality is no longer acceptable. When the supply has reached this condition, the HP Premium Protection warranty for that supply has ended.09:38
Hoxolotlgood morning09:40
* Hoxolotl wonders if running a persistent ubuntu from one USB stick on many different hardware configurations is feasable or wether heĺl blow up a computer along the way somewhere.09:41
Hoxolotl1 usb stick, many hardware configurations.09:42
ikoniaHoxolotl: depends on the other hardware09:42
hiexpoexactly09:42
icerootHoxolotl: it will not blow up something, normally it is working out of the box09:43
Hoxolotlwell, itś a mix of AMD/intel processors and Nvidia cards (maybe occasionally an intel HD3000, but thatś it) , of course Iĺl do a 32 bit install as some older configs won work otherwise09:43
icerootHoxolotl: GNU/Linux is not storing any hardware-configs, everything is read at start up (only some vga drivers which takes place in /etc/X11/xorg.conf may a problem)09:44
Hoxolotlno atoms/risc processors (so far)09:44
seliteHow do I find the external IP address of my router?09:44
Hoxolotliceroot, exactly what I wanted to know :D09:44
Hoxolotlthanks09:44
seliteAnyone?09:44
icerootselite: http://www.whatismyip.com/09:45
Burnmohselite use google "ip locate"09:45
elsucoselite: http://checkip.org/09:45
seliteBurnmoh: , elsuco : It's not that. I don't get the web page for my router when I type it in the browser.09:46
icerootselite: you want your WAN IP or you want the LAN ip of your router?09:47
seliteBurnmoh: When I run Angry Scanner I get IP addresses of some routers from my ISP but I don't get mine, so I am curious to get mine.09:47
sacarlsonselite: maybe try sudo route; the default gateway address will probly be you router ip09:47
selitesacarlson: Yeah, I tried it. But that way I can only access it from my computer. In other words that way it can be accessed only from machines connected to that router.09:48
seliteiceroot: WAN IP.09:48
Burnmohselite most ISP's provide dynamic ip , wht u gonna do with that ?09:48
icerootselite: and you are at the moment in the lan connected to your router?09:49
Borahello everyone09:49
seliteiceroot: Yeah. I have few addresses and I can get people's routers from my browser, but I don't know the IP address of mine lol.09:49
selite:(09:49
sacarlsonselite: well my router I have access to that section disabled from the wan side as might be by default for security,  it might be able to be set active as an option09:49
icerootselite: and why is www.whatismyip.com not what you want?09:50
icerootselite: that will show your WAN-IP09:50
BoraI would like to ask some question something about vmware v sphere and vmware workstation09:50
seliteiceroot: Because I don't get the router page from that address.09:50
icerootselite: why you need the router page?09:50
icerootselite: that site shows your WAN IP09:51
llutzselite: you don't want the router config-page being accessible from WAN09:51
icerootselite: use that ip to connect to your router09:51
icerootselite: also read the manual of your router how to enable the router to be reachable from the wan09:51
icerootselite: its disabled by default for a good reason09:51
seliteiceroot: Hmm. Meaning if it is reachable from WAN then I'd get the router config - page?09:51
icerootselite: from the wan, yes09:52
icerootselite: from the lan you will always get it09:52
seliteiceroot: Thank you.09:52
sacarlsonselite: other option is you can forward ssh trafic to your ubuntu server inside your home net,  login to that and then ssh remote from that into your router09:52
Burnmohi disabled my router remote connection cuz my IS provider always changes my router pass lol09:52
Borafirst of all I installed vmware workstation but I can not  configure anyone can help me for about that09:52
icerootBora: time to change the provider09:53

Burnmohiceroot lol09:53
frankpad How can I reset the CE285A (85A) cartridge chip (or set Ubuntu to bypass it) so I can print?09:53
icerootfrankpad: not possible from the OS, you have to do a hardware-hack for that and reset the chips directly09:54
frankpadCan you give me more info on how to achieve that hardware hack?09:54
icerootfrankpad: maybe with a driver hack it is possible but i dont think something like that is controlled by the driver09:54

bouzbouis there a path on ubuntu (like windows) ? When I install a package (git for example), I can then directly run 'git' from the command line, where is it defined?11:11

ahhughesdr_willis, I just copy a complete ISO of the smaller partition to the larger. Done.11:12
bouzbouare you sur it's added automatically in the $PATH? It looks more like there put in a folder and that folder is in the PATH?11:13
Onkeltembenpicco: I've just tried 32nd kernel, same black screen issue.11:14
benpiccoOnkeltem: so there is a signal, just no output - have you tried removing the quiet option from the kernel command line and see whetere it hangs?11:14
dr_willisbouzbou:  its autimatic11:14
Onkeltembenpicco: wow, and 28th doesn't load anymore again!11:14
sacarlsonbouzbou: most runable apps will be installed in /bin or /usr/bin;  if they are admin then maybe /sbin ; /user/sbin11:14
dr_willispath is dirs. not files11:14
Onkeltembenpicco: ... and now 28th is loaded.11:15
bouzbousacarlson: os so basically most of the packages I'll install with aptitude (php, mysql, git, ...) will be put in folders of the $PATH so everything is automatic it's not like windows?11:16

I have multiple computer who need to do that, and all of the should have their ip on the network. I would like to build a router who can help me to be connected to all 3 net at the same time.13:45

k_szecompdoc: w. t. f. Synaptic shows that I have "samba" installed, but I don't actually have "/etc/init.d/samba"14:27
compdock_sze, its possible it doesnt install that script. what about /etc/init.d/smbd?14:28
vltTitomen: Always :-)14:29
k_szeI have that one.14:29
gdea73I think in 10.04 or greater, samba's services are smbd and nmbd, not "samba."14:29
Titomenwhy and will i loos the date on the raid when i install lvm on top of raid14:29
llutz_k_sze: upstart uses /etc/init/*.conf not /etc/init.d/* anymore14:30
gdea73i.e., if you need to restart samba, you would run restart smbd and restart nmbd. If that's what you were trying to do. I believe in Ubuntu 9.x, you would have to say /etc/init.d/samba restart.14:30
vltTitomen: Yes. /dev/mdX are block devices now …14:30
vltTitomen: You use them for whatever you chose: File systems, swap space …14:30
k_szellutz_: and that means... ?14:31
vltTitomen: To be able to use a block device as a physical device “PV” (an LVM source) you have to add an LVM header14:31
llutz_k_sze: that it makes no sense to look for /etc/init.d/whatever-file14:31
gdea73k_sze: what were you trying to do? Stop, start, or restart the Samba service? (or something else?)14:31
ironhalikanyone tried sending USSD codes from a miniPCIe-to-USB 3g modem?14:32
k_szegdea73: get Samba working, anyhow.14:32
gdea73k_sze: that's why you'd use the start, stop, or restart commands followed by the module name to perform actions on them.14:32
Titomenat present i have raid1 boot raid 1 swap raid 5 systewm raid 5 home...what will be the advantage of lvm14:32
JermB0bhey hey14:32
vlterinaceus: If the disk could be damaged I’d highly reccommend making an identical copy NOW. You can use something like ddrescue.14:32
gdea73oh, well in my case the first step to get Samba working is to set the workgroup name, which I found easiest to do by installing the "Samba" program in USC.14:32
gdea73k_sze: because from there you can also set up share-based security, password encryption, guest account, etc.14:33
k_szegdea73: `sudo start samba`?14:33
gdea73k_sze: that sounds right.14:33
gdea73but it should be running already.14:33
k_szeweird14:33
erinaceusvlt: The disk is not physically damage if you mean that. I accidently started grub-install with the wrong parameters and soon after this it wouldnt recognize the enitre hdd14:33
k_szeI get "start: Unknown job: samba"14:33
llutz_k_sze: sudo service smbd start14:34
gdea73oh sorry, I meant smbd.14:34
gdea73right, you'd run "sudo start smbd"14:34
gdea73(and nmbd, the hostname/naming daemon)14:34
k_szellutz_: "start: Job is already running: smbd"14:34
k_szesame with nmbd (already running)14:35
llutz_k_sze: so and whats your problem now?14:35
gdea73k_sze: if you've already used the graphical Samba program to set your workgroup and other server settings, try this thread's Problem 3 parts I and II: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=116914914:35
k_szellutz_: the machine still doesn't appear in my workgroup.14:36

=== shaf is now known as erkk
llutz_k_sze: check your smb.conf and listen to gdea7314:36
gdea73okay, well first see if you can access it directly via its IP address: smb://192.168.1.X, or 10.0.1.X, depending on your router14:36
k_szegdea73: I can't see the Ubuntu machine from my Windows 7 machine.14:36
gdea73k_sze: alright, we can fix that.14:37
gdea73but first see if outgoing connections work from Ubuntu14:37
gdea73via the IP address (in the file browser, Ctrl + L, and then smb://192.168.1.X)14:37
gdea73if you don't know the W7 box's IP, just run ipconfig in a command prompt.14:37

MongooseTrying to understand the internet and ubuntu but in Network Tools what does the IP address of 127.0.0.1 mean? Where is that address?14:42
gdea73okay well, k_sze, I better go charge my laptop soon, so here's what I suggest you do assuming you can browse by IP:14:43
gdea73Mongoose: 127.0.0.1 is the loopback address, it leads back to your local PC. If you were hosting a website on it with Apache or something, it would display in your web browser if you put it to 127.0.0.1.14:43
gdea73It's the same thing as "localhost"14:43
Mongoosethanks14:44
gdea73k_sze: Try to install the "Samba" application in Ubuntu Software Center, and open it and go to Server Settings. Enter your workgroup name, server description, and security settings (I usually do "share", "yes," "nobody").14:44

gdea73if you want to run LXDE, check out Lubuntu. They have an irc channel here, #lubuntu, and you can install LXDE over a current installation.14:45
k_szegdea73: ok, I can browse my win7 folders from the ubuntu machine.14:45
gdea73bazhang: okay thanks.14:45
gdea73k_sze: really? cool! what'd you do? :D14:45
gdea73did you try the Samba-gtk utility? or did you edit the conf file manually? either way works, I just found the GUI version easier for setting up new shares, etc.14:46
erinaceusvlt: Do you have experience with ddrescue? Cause i have a small question, when i execute something like ddrescue /dev/sdc /dev/sda does it overwrite the data on /dev/sda or generate a file on it?14:46
k_szeI didn't do anything...14:46
=== asdfdastfw is now known as raidhtc
gdea73k_sze: lol, well that's always a nice solution XD14:47
gdea73well that's good that it works. though wait, can you browse the Win7 shares from Ubuntu yet?14:47
gdea73(did you configure the workgroup to match your Windows workgroup?)14:47
k_szenono14:47
k_szeI can browse the win7 shares from ubuntu14:48
k_szenot the other way around.14:48
gdea73ohh okay14:48

weoxand another quastion i have in desktop environment  which is the fastest and lightest ?? i am java developer and i want switch to GTK+ , i just want work with GTK+ develop tools , i dont want 3d support and something like that only ide and chrome !!14:48
gdea73do you need to use the IP from Ubuntu, or does it work with the hostname?14:48
bazhangweox, lubuntu would be that14:48
gdea73weox: LXDE is extremely lightweight and fast. I've tried it. Very minimal. I think you'd like it. Check out "lubuntu" :)14:48
erinaceusweox: awesome is pretty good14:48
gdea73well anyway k_sze assuming it works with the hostname from Ubuntu, you should install the program samba-gtk14:49
gdea73oh sorry, k_sze, it's system-config-samba14:50
gdea73you can install it via apt-get or via USC if you search for "Samba."14:50
neyder_hi there, i'm trying network installation of edubuntu workstations, so in tasksel do i have to choose ubuntu-desktop? 'cause i have selected edubuntu-desktop14:50
k_szegdea73: strangely enough, doesn't work with hostname14:50
weoxgdea73,bazhang, i am on ubuntu 11.10 with Gnome , can i just install LXDE , or should i reinstall ubuntu  complatly ??(sorry for my bad language !!)14:50
gdea73Configure your server in there and set up the workgroup, share/security settings, and you should be good14:50
gdea73weox: you can definitely install LXDE from where you are now, I think...14:50
James-LEEg14:50
bazhangweox, lubuntu-desktop package14:50
gdea73look up the Lubuntu documentation, I know there's a way, I think you just install lubuntu-desktop14:50
weoxerinaceus, i can understand your porpuse , what is awesome ?? LXDE ?? i want try it :D14:51
gdea73but there's also another argument I thought they said you were to run, and there are more details if you want to remove Gnome or whatever DE you were using previously.14:51
k_szegdea73: I can browse the win7 machine by IP, but not by hostname, weird.14:51
dysocoweox, Window Managers and DE14:51
gdea73k_sze: actually that's a common problem. You probably just need to be added to the workgroup, and you might need to try a few other solutions. Just hang in there. Have you installed the Samba configuration program yet?14:51
weoxthank's guy's ,,, very very much :D14:51
dysocobazhang, you can also just install LXDE instead of Lubuntu-Desktop14:51
erinaceusweox: There is a tiling window manager called awesome, it's pretty lightweight and easy on the eye, altough it is probably not suitable for newcomers to linux or people that dont want to configure everything themselves.14:51
bazhanghttp://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purelxde   weox followed by this14:52
gdea73dysoco is right too, if you don't want the whole lubuntu setup14:52
dysocoI prefer DWM to Awesome, there are a lot of Tilings WM to choose14:52
k_szegdea73: it's already installed14:52
gdea73bazhang: right thanks, that's what I was referring to.14:52
gdea73k_sze: alright, what have you configured it as? Open it and go to Server Settings.14:52
gdea73k_sze: sorry, Preferences -> Server Settings (within the Samba GUI control panel)14:53
k_szegdea73: the workgroup? same as my win7 machine's14:53
gdea73make sure you set the workgroup, also I recommend you change the Authentication Mode to "share," that way you set user right based on each share.14:53
gdea73k_sze: yes, it's essential that they're the same.14:54
gdea73(minus capitalization, I don't think it matters in that case.)14:54
k_szegdea73: uppercase and lowercase doesn't matter, right?14:54
k_szelol14:54
gdea73^^ probably not. You can do all caps if you want to feel safe ;)14:54
gdea73Windows always puts it in uppercase.14:54
k_szeerm...14:54
k_szeI clicked ok14:54
gdea73Also I put my guest account as nobody, but that means they'll only have as many rights as the "everyone else" section of the file permissions14:54
gdea73k_sze: okay... ?14:55
vlterinaceus: (In case it hasn’t been answered yet:) `ddrescue /dev/sdc /dev/sda` will of course overwrite sda. If you want to create an image file you need a file system to out in in.14:55
vlterinaceus: That file system has to mounted somewhere.14:55
k_szeand I see in the console: "invoke-rc.d: unknown initscript, /etc/init.d/samba not found."14:55
gdea73well make sure you do the authentication part, and also I guess you can leave guest account on none, for now. Otherwise you'd have to adjust file permissions and stuff...14:55

gdea73hey all, do you know how to get the grid-view of file permissions in Nautilus? It works on one of my desktops running 10.10 but I haven't seen it anywhere else.14:56
erinaceusvlt: So could i specify a simple outputfile like ~/backup ?14:56
gdea73k_sze: sometimes you'll need to run sudo restart smbd and sudo restart nmbd before samba browsing will work, after configuration, just FYI14:56
vlterinaceus: Yes.14:56
erinaceusvlt: Great thanks, im gonna try that14:56
gdea73k_sze: also if you have deliberately enabled a client-side firewall like ufw, that will screw with Samba a lot.14:57
gdea73alright I have to go charge my laptop, and do stuff :P, so I may be back on later. Good luck with Samba :)14:57
vlterinaceus: You can use (copies of) that image file for tests with restoring partitions then.14:57

mosdef100200their*17:54
BodsdaIndex: start with the obvious. Do a straight http download, check file size is correct, then check md5. Do the same with a torrent. Do these fresh, remove all traces of your previous attempts so that nothing could be getting in the way. If that still fails, try the dvd or alternate versions.17:55

kw01fAgain my question: Can somebody explain me the difference between apt-get, aptitude and dpkg to install deb packages or point me to a site explaining the differences, please?18:21
northernenActionParsnip, check/change what myself?18:21
ActionParsnipkw01f: dpkg does the installing, apt-get will install and uninstall packages. aptitude is a bit more feature rich and has searching and so forth18:22
ActionParsnipnorthernen: the .desktop file, you can check the icon referenced18:22
kw01fActionParsnip: but apt-get can search as well? I mean: sudo apt-cache search foobar18:22
MonkeyDustkw01f  http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/aptitude18:23
northernenkw01f, apt-get deals with repositories. dpkg with local packages.18:23
wyldeyou don't need sudo to use apt-cache btw18:23
ActionParsnipkw01f: no, you use apt-cache for that18:23
kw01fMonkeyDust: thanks18:23
kw01fActionParsnip: ok, so apt-get differs from apt-cache..18:23
trismkw01f: you don't need sudo on the apt-cache search18:23
user1Parsnip, it is not working18:23
northernenActionParsnip, I've done that. Icon=virtualbox, and I find that in /usr/share/icons.18:23
ActionParsnipkw01f: as wylde says, you don't need sudo for apt-cache as you are only reading the database, not changing it18:24

waperboyiwface, oh, so you deleted the home folder that you want19:24
waperboyiwface, can't help you if that's the case19:24
haz3lnutiwface: create a new user19:24
iwfacehaz31nut: i know the password, and the file system is intact, just doesn't log in because it lacks a home folder. have to login as guest19:24
haz3lnutiwface: at the grub menu boot the recovery console19:25
haz3lnutiwface: useradd iwface19:25
vltehm: This is my alsa setup: /tmp/alsa-info.txt.FFSqO0SSiS (Out put of http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh)19:25

sda1986hola, i have a computer inside a network, and a modem with an IP, i cannot assign direcly the external IP to the computer but i would like to have as my IP source the external IP, how can I do?19:27
iwfaceso i guess reinstalling is the best shot??19:27
haz3lnutiwface: I just told you how to do it.19:28
vltsda1986: As source visible by whom? Anyone outside your local network? The “modem” (I assume it’s a router if it’s got an IP) should do masquerading/natting.19:29

sda1986vlt, the truth is this is only a step of my project :D yes I know about NAT inside the routers, but right now i only want to change the source of the package, marsquerade them, one to one, if i have 10 pc inside my lan i can have 10ip ouside but i must use thouse 10outside ip19:33
iwfacehaznut: the system boots to the login screen, my username is there, hit the passwd and then comes back to the login screen19:34

iwfacehaz31nut: yes but the issue is not at the grub menu19:35
haz3lnutiwface: I know. I'm telling yo how to create a new user, which will crate a new home folder.19:36
iwfacehaz31nut: by booting the recovery console? will it ask me to create a new user?19:37
waperboyno, but it will enable you to do so19:37
iwfacehaz31nut: never used the recovery console, so dont know what it does19:38
haz3lnutiwface: no, it will ask for root password. then drop you to shell prompt where you will type "useradd iwface"  without quotes or whatever username you want.19:38
iwfacehaz31nut: that seems a proper workaround!19:38

iwfaceIt works, i refreshed the software sources from the live-cd!! awesome, isnt it19:42

waperboyMrHanjrah :)19:43
haz3lnutActionParsnip: thanks for the correction.19:43
MrHanjrahthat would create the new home directory if it doesnt already exist,19:43

parapanzykotic10: Unpack the zipped tar file and store in a folder somewhere, preferably a folder in your path.  You can run the wrapper script (avchd2srt) from anywhere, as long as the core (avchd2srt-core) and the awk scrript (avchd2srt.awk) are in the same directory as the wrapper script.19:57

Precognisti see the other pamusb-* stuff. but no the two packages i need20:57
Fyodorovnameerkats, for windows to see it the fat has to be the first partition I believe.20:57

Fyodorovnameerkats, pretty sure with a usb, pull off what is on there and reformat it correctly and the partition numbers will be correct.20:59
dlentzdid yo see crazyandi86's earlier suggestion20:59
vltDoes anyone know how to adjust the volume slider in the (upper right) panel from script/commandline?20:59
velkomeerkats, i guess you have better chance if you put the vfat partition first and the ext partition after that21:00
Fyodorovnameerkats, windows wont read the fat throght the ext4 on a external.21:00
vltdlentz: Yes, but that doesn’t move the volume slider in the panel.21:00
crazyandi86vlt: it DOES move the slider with "amixer -q set Master 3% unmute" for me21:00
Fyodorovna*through It wont be mounted as read write or at all. meerkats21:00

Kitty_haha and how should i do that21:21
Burnmohkitty get a 12.04 LTS  , cause 10.04 gonna end this year21:21
CFHowlettPrecognist   might want to try downloading the .deb files and dpkg -i filename.deb21:21

Burnmohonce i used 6gb it was fine but after updating and installing softwares , just 100mb remained for me21:50

dupedlisakelly, you don't need a SWAP partition, but it's recommended21:50
KM0201lisakelly: a minimum, yes21:50
Kitty_hahah 6 gb :D yeah right i dont even own a one21:50
Fyodorovnalisakelly, generally yes put them in a extended as a logical for OS and the other a swap21:50

Burnmohkitty lol21:50
lisakellywhy is is recommended to get a swap partition and how big does the swap partition need to be?21:50
Kitty_i know :(21:50
KM0201lisakelly: rule of thumb,... 1.5-2x your physical ram21:50
EnkariI think it depends on how much RAM you have?21:50
KM0201for swap21:51
lisakellyI have 4GB ram21:51
Burnmohlisakelly no need for swap if you have enough memory :P21:51
atomicfusion1on a 11.10 liveusb, cryptsetup fails with any cipher with "device-mapper: readio ioctl failed: Invalid argument". i have loaded every driver in kernel/crypto. anyone know whats up?21:51
lisakellyhow big should my swap partition be?21:51
KM0201lisakelly: then you'd likely want a 6gig swap.21:51
Fyodorovnalisakelly, swap is for memory overflow and if you want to hibernate, should be equal to the ram.21:51
KM0201Burnmoh: thats not accurate. there's a logical reason to have a swap, even w/ a lot of ram21:51
dupedlisakelly, Normally a SWAP partition is twice the size of your RAM21:51
KM0201again, 1.5-2x your physical ram.. is a good rule of thumb for your swap size21:51
lisakellyso what happens if I install ubuntu without a swap partition?  Can ubuntu freeze up and not work?21:51
velko_lisakelly, if this is a laptop you need swap for suspending. else you don't need it21:52
Fyodorovnaduped, not true equal to is fine.21:52
dupedFyodorovna, I said normally. Not always. Of course there are exceptions.21:52
BurnmohKM0201 may be for suspends mode21:52
Fyodorovnalisakelly, without a swap you have no hibernate, no other affect really with that much ram.21:52
KM0201lisakelly: it really depends21:52
KM0201Burnmoh: lol, no.21:52
dupedBye, all21:53
lisakellyso as long as I never hibernate ubuntu I dont need a swap partition?21:53

Enkariah, does it matter that I'm on gnome right now?21:56
velko_`Korvin, if a list of all packages will suffice you can "sudo dpkg --get-selections". you can then mark exactly these packages for install with "sudo dpkg --set-selections"21:56

lisakellyso I dont need the alternative ISO and encrypt the whole file system?  I can just encrypt the home folder?21:59
KM0201the best way to protect yourself? disconnect yourself from the internet and live off the grid.21:59

Burnmohatomicfusion1 ok22:06

atomicfusion1lisakelly depends on whether you have a 64bit or 32bit system22:06
EnkariSearch if your Processor Model can handle 64bit OS's22:06
lisakellyatomicfusion1: its 6422:06
Enkariif you're not sure, you're safe to go with the 32bit version22:06
Jordan_Ulisakelly: Then use the 64 bit version.22:06
lisakellyEnkari: im sure, its 64 bit and if its not then 64bit Ubuntu wont install?22:07

L3topmechanist: and how big is the drive22:08
mechanist64 bit ocelot22:08

EnkariYeah that should take 64bit22:08
cylexlscpu |grep Arch22:08
lisakellywylde: i cant type that command seeing I havent installed Ubuntu yet :)22:08
mechanistL3top: 64 bit ocelot, hard disk 500 GB22:08

ubottuWubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please  file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. For Ubuntu Oneiric/11.10 http://releases.ubuntu.com/oneiric/wubi.exe22:11
dupedlisakelly, All it does is set it up for you. Wubi just sets up linux for install so you don't have to use a cdrom or usb.22:12
EnkariAre you on Unity or gnome orionsonofneptun?22:12
dupedlisakelly, Check it out http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/windows-installer22:12
lisakellySo Wubi wont need me to create 2 nw partitions?22:12
Enkarilisakelly: nope22:12
Burnmohlisakelly wubi same as normal ubuntu version but it just writes its kernel on windows master boot loader22:12
Burnmohthats the diff22:12
orionsonofneptunenkari i dont know what unity or gnome is please explain22:12
Burnmohbasically ubuntu creates its own boot loader22:12
lisakellyis wubi hard to remove if things go wrong?  And will pressing ESC key during POST still work?22:13
atomicfusion1Burnmoh: it really doesnt change the mbr or the pbr, it just adds an entry in c:\boot.ini22:13
jonas_hey, does anyone know what to to with this problem: as soon as i connect an external display to my notebook, cpu goes 100% and it's nearly impossible to use the machine. as soon as y disconnect the display, everything goes normal again... ??22:13
EnkariUnity and gnome are basically different environments, they change a style on your desktop22:13
srandlisakelly: from the control panel, u uninstall it22:13
EnkariUnity will have a sidebar on the left and an orb top left22:13
Burnmohatomicfusion hmm22:13
dupedlisakelly, It's easy to remove, don't worry.22:13
lisakellyduped: :)22:13
orionsonofneptunenkari how to tell difference???22:13
velko_lisakelly, i have never used wubi. but it seems that is more trouble then it's worth, judging by the complaints in this channel22:13
atomicfusion1lisakelly: wubi merely adds an entry in the existing windows bootloader that boots linux22:13
lisakellyOk thanks, I will use Wupi instead.22:13
atomicfusion1lisakelly: there is almost no change of anything going wrong with wubi22:13
srandvelko_: it used to be buggy22:14
EnkariUnity will have an orb in top left22:14
Enkariand sidebar on left22:14
Burnmohi had used wubi its same as ubuntu no diff22:14
Enkarithat's easiest way to tell22:14
dupedlisakelly, Wubi is at http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/windows-installer22:14
lisakellyso where do I get the latest version of Wupi?22:14
lisakellyok thanks22:14
Burnmohbut its easy to install and uninstall :)22:14
atomicfusion1lisakelly: it's on the ubuntu cd22:14
orionsonofneptunwhat does orb look like ubuntu emblem??22:14
lisakellyis duped a bot? :P22:14
EnkariYes it does orion22:14
dupedlisakelly, NOPE, I'm 100% human.22:14
lisakellyatomicfusion1: so how I tell Ubntu live cd to use Wubi?22:15
orionsonofneptunok then its unity22:15
wyldeWubi is meant more for trying Ubuntu rather than as a permanent install. To each their own I suppose.22:15
lisakellyduped: just checking because you seem to answer my questions within 1 second lol :)22:15
EnkariWhen you press the windows button, it should by default open the dash22:15
Enkariwhich is the same as clicking the orb22:15
Burnmohwubi is just nothing most windows user scared of being installing ubuntu so they made it easy to install and remove22:15
dupedlisakelly, I actually was answering a previous question... and answered your question before your asked... more like a mind reader.22:15
atomicfusion1lisakelly: put the cd in after windows is running, go to "my computer" and autorun the disk22:15
lisakellywylde: but if I use Wubi can I install Unbuntu permantely and use it properly and installed updates etc?22:15
MonkeyDustlisakelly  no22:16
lisakellyduped: hheeh ;)22:16
Enkarilisakelly: yes you can update and all that22:16
MonkeyDustwubi is about the worst invention since television22:16
dupedlisakelly, You can use Wubi and still update linux, install stuff, etc.22:16
orionsonofneptunit dont open dash it shows launchpad and puts numbers on every choice22:16
Enkariit's basically the same as having ubuntu installed normally22:16
lisakellyMonkeyDust: so what good is Wubi if I cannot use Ubuntu normally and install updates etc?22:16
Burnmohlisakelly if your windows system fails ur wubi ubuntu also fails :P22:16
KM0201MonkeyDust: preach it22:16
jonas_no one can help?22:16
EnkariWell I can't help you there orion, sorry :(22:16
wyldelisakelly: if you decide after using a wubi install for a bit you can do a proper install later. but you will have to move any documents or files you have in the wubi install manually22:16
pooltable_help installed wine 1.5.0 ?22:16
lisakellyis MonkeyDust trolling me or is he serious?22:16
KM0201Burnmoh: or, if ubuntu fails, your windows also fails22:16

Shojono, he is serious22:17
dupedMonkeyDus just hates window$22:17
atomicfusion1lisakelly: i think that the only difference in performance between ubuntu and wubi is that wibu will have somewhat slower disk read/write22:17
Shojowubi is windows based so... not too good22:17
BurnmohKM0201 not in the case of wubi installing  , only at direct install :P22:17

velko_mechanist, are you trying to install to this drive? or you are intending to mount it later and use it as a data store?22:20
meerkatsso far everything looks normal, just mp4 files22:20
KM0201orionsonofneptun: you don't, but it will format your thumb drive22:20

atomicfusion1MonkeyDust so surely i count as at least 400 people22:20
KM0201orionsonofneptun: pay attention..22:20
Jordan_Ulisakelly: A wubi installation can do anything that a normal dual boot installation can do, and in theory it's a great idea with few downsides. In reality though there are too few developers interested in it which leads to difficult to solve problems. Most recommend against Wubi and in favor of a normal dual boot install.22:21

itaylor57jen, you are fine just wait until the repos get caught up23:45
jenso...um23:45
jennow the heck will i know when it is fixed? I have a buttload of updates23:45
chalcedonywylde, the initial problem my husband has in 10.10 is that it won't boot, after the login he gets an error: Install Warning The configuration defaults for Gnome Power Manager have not been installed correctly.23:46
chalcedonywylde, further i am able to ssh to the box, and login ok ,but he can't with the gui.23:46
chalcedonywylde, also, we tried the live cd, which is in now.23:47
pfifochalcedony, sounds like you have some stale configs in /home23:47
chalcedonypfifo, humm? http://askubuntu.com/questions/57159/the-configuration-defaults-for-gnome-power-manager-have-not-been-installed-corre23:48
jen???23:48
chalcedonywe tried their instruction to remove and replace gnome-power-manager23:48
chalcedonydidn't change much23:49
wyldechalcedony: did you try removing and reinstalling the power-manager yet?23:49
chalcedonywylde, yes23:49
velko_chalcedony, have yo tried to create a new user and login as that user?23:49
pfifochalcedony, is /home on a separate partition?23:49
jenso what do I do?23:50
Titomenanybody know how to manually start inactive raid 523:50
dooglusturns out it does use 'ping' to find the fastest mirror, but some mirrors aren't ping-able23:51
velko_jen, have you followed haz3lnut's advice? if yes, you don't have to do anything more for a while23:51
nishttal2i am looking for some themes for Ubuntu 11.10 unity but all i can seem to find are ones for gnome-shell.. can someone point me to a link23:51
Titomeni already stop  it but does not know how to srtated degrade mode23:51
jenotay23:51
jenc:23:51
chalcedonypfifo, yes23:51
chalcedonyit should be23:51
chalcedonyvelko_, no23:51
pfifochalcedony, did you have files there from a previous install?23:51
zykotick9jen: FYI if you install aptitude you can run "sudo aptitude safe-upgrade" to install what is possible.23:52
chalcedonypfifo, i just have trouble rmembering what i should know so i dont know which is what :)23:52
pfifohuh?23:53
chalcedonypfifo, i don't know what my husband did.. is there a way to show you the file list or where home is to fix it?23:54
nishttal2pfifo, do you know where i can find some themes for unity?23:54
velko_chalcedony, just try to login with a new user. if it works, this means that you have stale config files. you can either purge them or copy over the data files you care abouit23:54
pfifochalcedony, try this 'sudo mv /home/chalcedony /home/old && sudo cp -a /etc/skel /home/chalcedony && sudo chown -R chalcedony:chalcedony /home/chalcedony'23:54
pfifonishttal2, no23:55
FyodorovnaTheFizzMeister, I think with a quick check on google that is a tough card, you might also make a thread at the ubuntu forums.23:55
nishttal2pfifo, hmm.. ok :(23:55
chalcedonypfifo, ty - um can i ask what that does?23:56
TheFizzMeisterYeah, I had a feeling it wasn't gonna be too fun.23:56
TheFizzMeisterAt least I don't watch too much video on my laptop. Youtube's working, and that's what most of it is.23:56
TheFizzMeisterMy video watching, I mean.23:57
pfifochalcedony, it gives you a clean home directory, and backsup the old one in /home/old23:57
TheFizzMeisterI'll try on the Ubuntu forums then. Thanks.23:57
chalcedonypfifo, i super appreciate you :)23:57
velko_pfifo, it's her husbands computer. the user is named differently. and you don't really know if there is not already a directory named /home/old. so don't advice her to do this. she can just try to log in with a new user23:58
pfifovelko_, it can be named anything, /home/old is not required23:59
sunzhi! anyone ever had the problem with unity wrecking the thunderbird prefs.js file?23:59
