| Unguided | Hello all. Quick question I hope. Ubuntu desktop and server are the same thing just with different packages at install right? | 01:20 |
|---|---|---|
| Zeb | hello | 01:28 |
| Zeb | how do you close a shell window without killing the process that is running? | 01:28 |
| Unit193 | Using something like screen. | 01:29 |
| Unit193 | !screen | 01:29 |
| ubot2 | screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH. The 'byobu' package provides very useful additional utilities. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen | 01:29 |
| Zeb | hmm but that doesnt help for something that is currently running if i dont have screen already running | 01:31 |
| Zeb | right? | 01:31 |
| Zeb | thats ok though | 01:34 |
| Zeb | thx | 01:34 |
| Unit193 | Correct, if it is already running, that won't help. | 01:35 |
| Zeb | so, do you have to do screen every time you might want to do something like this? | 01:35 |
| Zeb | is there a way to set it as the default? | 01:36 |
| Zeb | probably in the manual | 01:36 |
| Fyodorovna | "app" & exit will start it and exit the terminal | 01:36 |
| ziek | No idea when the ubuntu on android will be open for public? | 02:03 |
| Unit193 | I have no idea, nope. | 02:08 |

| Ziek | Need help learning irssi | 16:54 |
| Unit193 | http://quadpoint.org/articles/irssi not going to get much better than that. | 16:54 |
| Ziek | thanks | 16:54 |
| Unit193 | There's a few more resources, but that's one of the great ones. | 16:56 |
| Ziek | yeah, I've been looking for stuff like that. I know enough to get around but I want to know more. | 16:59 |
| Unit193 | http://jonathanbeluch.com/blog/2011/03/remote-notify-irssi-screen/ I use a modified version of that, and someone likes http://niklas.laxstrom.name/page/eng/irssi | 17:03 |
| Unit193 | I also find some of these handy http://myrtti.fi/irssi-aliases | 17:04 |
| Ziek | Thanks, will look into them | 17:05 |
| Unit193 | ubot2: info irssi-scripts | 17:06 |
| ubot2 | Unit193: irssi-scripts (source: irssi-scripts): collection of scripts for irssi. In component universe, is optional. Version 20100512 (maverick), package size 684 kB, installed size 3200 kB | 17:06 |
| Unit193 | That can also be handy, some of those are great. | 17:06 |
| Unit193 | Ziek: I'd guess you already know about tmux or screen? | 17:08 |
| Ziek | yes but not use screen | 17:13 |
| Ziek | should learn to use it thou | 17:13 |
| Ziek | One question off topic... Do you know how to configure usb wireless cards in ubuntu? | 17:14 |
| bioterror | you mean like wifi dongles? | 17:14 |
| Ziek | like a wireless adapter | 17:15 |
| bioterror | mostly plug it in and wish that it works :D | 17:16 |
| Ziek | lol | 17:17 |
| Ziek | well it shows up in terminal when I list usb | 17:18 |
| bioterror | lsusb? | 17:18 |
| Ziek | so thats good news | 17:18 |
| Ziek | yes | 17:18 |
| geirha | I bought a wifi-dongle a while back. I made sure it had Tux on the package. Just plugged it in and after a few seconds it asked me what wireless network to connect to. | 17:19 |
| Ziek | worked | 17:28 |

| bobweaver | Hello there I am writing a script right now and it need to inject a table into mysql here is a example of the code. How to insert mysql ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/919228/ | 18:09 |
| bobweaver | with out being root | 18:09 |
| bobweaver | that is | 18:09 |
| bobweaver | brb have to reboot | 18:11 |
| Bhavan | hi there good evening | 18:26 |
| Ziek | good morning | 18:27 |
| Bhavan | hi i need help in sorting out problems with my keyboard in ubuntu 12.04 beta 2 | 18:27 |
| Bhavan | i have recently loaded ubuntu in my laptop and my laptop keyboard does bnot work. i can manage without mouse pad but need the keyboard working to switch on my wifi | 18:29 |
| Fyodorovna | Bhavan, you might also try the 12.04 channel #ubuntu+1 | 18:30 |
| Bhavan | thanks for the suggestion but do you kbnow a workaround for this issue? | 18:31 |
| Fyodorovna | Bhavan, is it a laptop or desktop? | 18:31 |
| Bhavan | it is a lenovo y500 laptop | 18:31 |
| Bhavan | i have sorked with ubuntu 11.04 in the same laptop before had same problems but managed to get it work but have forgotten how. | 18:32 |
| Bhavan | i mean have worked | 18:32 |
| Fyodorovna | Bhavan, not really any suggestion, never seen a onboard keyboard not work. Do yoiu have one to plugin to check if it works? | 18:32 |
| Bhavan | yes i have an usb keyboard plugged in and that is the only one which works. | 18:32 |
| Fyodorovna | Bhavan, not a clue here. | 18:33 |
| Bhavan | i had the same problem with 11.04 and then when i loaded fedora 16 the same problem with that too | 18:33 |
| Fyodorovna | Bhavan, what happens with a live cd, just curious really. | 18:34 |
| Bhavan | i like ubuntu very much that is why i deleted fedora and loaded 12.04. did not work with the live cd also | 18:35 |
| Bhavan | imy dvd drive was not read by the system. tried an external drive still no luck | 18:35 |
| Bhavan | so had to use usbnetbootin to load the installation from usb drive and that worked | 18:36 |
| Bhavan | as soon as i loaded ubuntu it gave a suggestion to load my wifi drive which was missing. i did that but cannot get it on since the external keyboard does not have Fn keys in it!! | 18:37 |
| bodhizazen | If you are having a problem with 12.04 -> bug report | 18:51 |

| bobweaver | what kinda keyboard is this that does not have a fn key ? mac ? | 19:37 |
| Bhavan__ | yes it has fnkey not mac | 19:38 |
| bobweaver | what is brand of computer ? | 19:39 |
| bobweaver | dell ? | 19:39 |
| bobweaver | press fn+f4 if dell | 19:39 |
| Bhavan__ | it is a lenovo and for wifi it is fn +f4 but no key works and there is no fn key in external keyboard so i am stuck up | 19:40 |
| bobweaver | what is the brand & model of the external keyboad please | 19:41 |
| Bhavan__ | it is a cheap usb keyboard not a branded one i have a bluetooth keyboard also i can try that if it will help | 19:42 |
| bobweaver | is this a laptop or desktop ? | 19:42 |
| bobweaver | also does the bluetooth keyboard have a fn key | 19:43 |
| Bhavan__ | yes it has a fn key | 19:46 |
| bobweaver | here is what we have done so far 1 you had the wrong driver loaded for you wireless card (wl) 2) we put the right one in there (b43) 3) we tried to blacklist the wl mod (driver)::::: What needs to still happen 1) need to make sure that the b43 loads on start not the wl 2) get a keyboard that has fn key so we can turn on | 19:46 |
| Bhavan__ | yes now the wireless keyboard works but the fn key on it is setup for volume up an down by default in this keyboard | 19:46 |
| bobweaver | go to settings --> keyboard --> shortcuts | 19:48 |
| bobweaver | sound and media | 19:48 |
| bobweaver | you can now set the hot key to something else from here | 19:49 |
| bobweaver | make sure that you find what ever is setting fn+f4 and change it | 19:50 |
| Bhavan__ | ok wikk try that | 19:50 |
| bobweaver | cool | 19:50 |
| bobweaver | then once we get the wireless running we will get into making it run the right one on boot | 19:51 |
| Bhavan__ | thanx for the time u spent with me i now have to step out for some time will be back soon. | 19:51 |
| bobweaver | cya | 19:51 |
| wij | hi, the applications icon is gone from my launcher (ubuntu 11.10) | 21:13 |
| wij | anyway to get it back? | 21:13 |
| geirha | applications icon? you mean the menu bar, Applications, Places, System? | 21:17 |
| geirha | They replaced the gnome-panel with Unity in 11.04 | 21:17 |
| wij | yeah, but in the launcher previously there was an icon called 'applications'. in 11.10 it's gone. so now i can't seem to get to things like 'system tools' | 21:23 |
| holstein | wij: you can always fire up the live CD and look around in there.. see whats missing... OR make a new user account... i typically just add everything and see what is what | 21:29 |
| wij | holstein: ok, will try it. in the mean time, how can i get to 'system tools' | 21:38 |
| holstein | wij: what are you trying to do? | 21:38 |
| wij | long story, starting with not being able to turn off hardware accel in flash player, over trying to switch to unity 2D | 21:41 |
| holstein | wij: you choose unity2d at login | 21:41 |
| holstein | wij: AFAIK, there are no such configuration settings in flash for linux | 21:41 |
| holstein | i would suggest trying chrome, as that is likely to be our best source for flash in linux in the coming years | 21:42 |
| wij | well the reason for this long story is that in chrome since 2 wks the hue in youtube vids is off | 21:42 |
| wij | and one of the workarounds i saw is turning off hardware accel | 21:43 |
| wij | but that's not clickable for me | 21:43 |
| bioterror | wij, I cant play this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1veQocaigWQ&feature=share | 21:44 |
| wij | and i saw that in unity 2d i should be able turn it off | 21:44 |
| bioterror | Aw, snap! | 21:44 |
| bioterror | lovely chromium + flash <3 | 21:44 |
| holstein | wij: you just install unity 2d, and choose it at login | 21:45 |
| holstein | using unity2d will not have 3d acceleration | 21:46 |
| wij | holstein: ok, i'll try. but was i dreaming or is there no 'system tools' in ubuntu?? | 21:47 |
| holstein | wij: sure.. but none of those settings are there | 21:48 |
| wij | bioterror: in that vid the hue is OK. how come? | 21:48 |
| wij | holstein: so how can i access 'system tools'? | 21:48 |
| bioterror | wij, my 12.04 using chromium doesnt want to show. it just crashes | 21:49 |
| bioterror | instantly | 21:49 |
| holstein | wij: i dont know how to tell you to get that to open... but if you say "im trying to do X" i'll tell you where to go | 21:49 |
| wij | holstein: nothing in particular, as I said, i remembered there were more tools then i can access via system settings. and i also remembered an icon 'applications' in the launcher which is now gone. strange things, and i'm not even using drugs :-) | 21:54 |
| holstein | wij: you can always just make a new user, login, and see what is what.. find what you are looking for | 21:54 |
| wij | no, i can't find it using a new user either | 21:58 |
| wij | are you using unity? | 21:58 |
| holstein | wij: i dont use unity... but you should be able to just type what you are looking for in the search area | 22:01 |
| geirha | tap the windows key and type system tools | 22:01 |
| wij | tried that, but doesn't give any results | 22:02 |
| holstein | wij: i wouldnt worry about "system tools" just try and find what you "need" | 22:03 |
| geirha | Maybe you're looking for System Settings? | 22:03 |
| holstein | be vague.. type "system" and look through the list... type "settings" | 22:04 |
| wij | no system settings i can find. Anyways, i'll look some further tomorrow. thanks for the help all!! | 22:10 |
