[16:49] <kibet> Im seriously about to smash the computer in half right now, so i need some help
[16:49] <drainbamage> as nvidia card is spporting optimus
[16:49] <Tenkawa> [4-tea-2]: oh really??'
[16:49] <Aetherix> tycel: you need to add the repo at the top of the page and then install libdvdcss2
[16:49] <archana> How do I enable the boot-time theme of the ubuntu 11.10 when I have the grub at a different partition with ubuntu 10.10 in it?
[16:49] <drainbamage> no i am having issues while playing video
[16:50] <Tenkawa> [4-tea-2]: let me try here... that could be very bad
[16:50] <Tenkawa> [4-tea-2]: got a package name I can try
[16:50] <tzoscott> Just upgraded 11.04-->11.11 and now the task bar is missing icons for Trash, Workspace Switcher, etc.  How do I repair this?
[16:50] <luis_> Why is 32bit recommended for 11.10 ?
[16:50] <[4-tea-2]> Tenkawa: apt-get install libsdl1.2debian:i386 -> The following packages will be REMOVED: ... libsdl-image1.2 libsdl-mixer1.2 libsdl1.2-dev libsdl1.2debian libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio ...
[16:50] <tycel> okay, livdvdcss2?
[16:50] <tycel> okay then
[16:50] <Marine1> jrib, i did nothing not even that radio browser
[16:50] <tycel> libdvdcss2*
[16:50] <Aetherix> tycel: It's mentioned on the website
[16:50] <Tenkawa> [4-tea-2]: testing
[16:50] <Aetherix> under playing dvd
[16:50] <kibet> is there ANY logical explanation WHY 11.04 would think of re-installing grub2?
[16:50] <jrib> Marine1: ?
[16:51] <tycel> well, all i found was old pages for ubuntu 8.04 for playing dvds
current both the cards are on
[16:51] <conntrack> Sons of the pharaoh!
[16:51] <tycel> =)
[16:51] <tycel> when I did a search:)
[16:51] <drainbamage> still its using INTEL HD
[16:51] <[4-tea-2]> Tenkawa: it worked for other libraries (e.g. libc6:i386)
[16:51] <Marine1> jrib, should i install the older plugin with the message ealier'
[16:51] <Tenkawa> [4-tea-2]: think I know what it is... just a sec
[16:51] <tycel> but thanks again
[16:51] <Marine1> jrib, or try soemthing else?
[16:51] <tzoscott> Anyone else with broken desktop/taskbar icons in 10.11??
[16:51] <kibet> 10.10 has grub 2, 11.04 has grub 2, so if you find grub LEGACY while updating to 11.04, WHY THE HELL would you replace it with grub 2?
[16:52] <kibet> !nounity > tzoscott
[16:52] <daan4711> Hi, I've got a problem with the new Ubuntu Software Center. It is terrebly slow... it takes 23 seconds to start up. Am I the only one with this problem?
[16:52] <drainbamage> wheneve i play any video file on ubuntu 10.04  system hang and i have to reboot
[16:52] <drainbamage> it
[16:52] <jrib> Marine1: I'd suggest using the one I mentioned earlier from the repositories
[16:52] <Tenkawa> [4-tea-2]: that might be a package problem.. it has a LOT of removals on my test
[16:52] <tzoscott> thanks kibbet, I'll look into that
[16:53] <[4-tea-2]> Tenkawa: yes, it wants to remove everything that depends on libsdl.
[16:53] <llutz> MaGiK: "allow-guest=false" in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
[16:53] <Tenkawa> [4-tea-2]: does it possibly have both libraries in it?
[16:53] <hope> I just installed the new ubuntu 11.10 how do I get my old desktop back?
[16:53] <Tenkawa> the non :386
[16:53] <Tenkawa> just libsdl1.2debian
[16:53] <Tenkawa> ahhh
[16:53] <Tenkawa> its a meta package
[16:53] <[4-tea-2]> Tenkawa: I haven't checked, but the application complains when I try to start it.
[16:53] <kibet> !nounity > hope
[16:53] <daan4711> hope: Impossible, unless you install gnome-shell.
[16:53] <Tenkawa> which library is missing
[16:54] <Tenkawa> lib*.so*?
[16:54] <drainbamage> Tenkawa:any idea how to turn on nvidia card
[16:54] <drainbamage> ??
[16:54] <Guest44675> hi guys, trying to install linux on my netbook win7, i have created a bootable usb with the latest version on linux, but at restart the installation does not start, any ideas?
[16:54] <tzoscott> kibet: No that is not it. I was using Unity in 11.04 also. I wasn't using Gnome2 and do not want Gnome3.
[16:54] <Tenkawa> drainbamage: I missed most of the earlier typing...
[16:54] <kibet> tzoscott: read it
[16:54] <[4-tea-2]> Tenkawa: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL-1.2.so.0: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
[16:54] <rhizmoe> is there a way to use my mousewheel, probably with ctrl or another modifier key, to switch workspaces?
[16:54] <kibet> tzoscott: says something about gnome-panel
[16:55] <drainbamage> Tenkawa:any idea why sytem hang while playing any video file on to it
[16:55] <Tenkawa> drainbamage: for my machine to use the integrated card I had to turn off ahci
[16:55] <daan4711> Guest44675: You have to choose your usb-drive as boot-device.
[16:55] <arghx> Guest44675: have you set your netbook to boot from usb in BIOS?
[16:55] <Tenkawa> oh
[16:55] <Tenkawa> that oine
[16:55] <[4-tea-2]> Tenkawa: does that mean anything to you? :)
[16:55] <Tenkawa> drainbamage: hmm,, no... I'm having a similar issue with sound
[16:55] <Tenkawa> [4-tea-2]: yep.. .just a sec
[16:55] <drainbamage> are u talking about the acpi_call
[16:55] <[4-tea-2]> Tenkawa: tyvm
[16:55] <ewp> hey, im having trouble getting Tilda to start automatically upon login
[16:55] <kibet> is there any LOGICAL answers on why ubuntu updater would RE-install grub2?
[16:55] <kibet> and brick my system?
[16:55] <Guest44675> no i havent, how do i do that? sorry i am a noob :(
[16:56] <Tenkawa> [4-tea-2]: install ia32-libs
[16:56] <tzoscott> kibet: I did read it. I understood it as being useful IF I wanted "to use the GNOME shell instead".
[16:56] <Marine1> jrib, you think i need to move the files into the actual rhythmbox plugin location
[16:56] <arghx> Guest44675: we cannot tell since every hardware is different. consult the documentation to your hardware. it's a setting in your computer's BIOS
[16:56] <tzoscott> kibet, this was a Unity desktop prior to the upgrade.
[16:56] <[4-tea-2]> Tenkawa: oh, I thought they were deprecated. Lemme try.
[16:56] <Tenkawa> kibet: grub has a tendency to regenerate all the time
[16:56] <neroZZ> figured it out .... want in the audio group -.-
[16:56] <Tenkawa> [4-tea-2]: needed em here
[16:56] <neroZZ> figured it out .... wasnt in the audio group -.-
[16:56] <drainbamage> Tenkawa:do u have any problem while playing video files on ur laptop?
[16:57] <[4-tea-2]> Tenkawa: perhaps I misunderstood something I read
[16:57] <Tenkawa> drainbamage: havent tried.. only music
[16:57] <drainbamage> k
[16:57] <soulf> I'm stuck in fallback mode after having removed the proprietary fglrx packets. I just want to use the foss ati/radeon driver again. What can I do?
[16:57] <kibet> Tenkawa: then is there any way to remove it just for a second, so i can boot back into my computer, so i can brick GRUB 2 instead?
[16:57] <drainbamage> for me sound is working fine
[16:57] <Marine1> jrib, under/usr/lib/rhythmbox/plugin
[16:57] <ppcblaster> Need hepl please, Ubuntu 11.10 installed skype and can't find it how do I launch or use installed apps
[16:57] <arghx> soulf: do you have a xorg.conf or a file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ ?
[16:57] <[4-tea-2]> Tenkawa: I thought multiarch was supposed to replace ia32-libs and it was harmful to have them. Misunderstanding.
[16:57] <Tenkawa> kibet: got a boot cd?
[16:57] <kibet> Tenkawa: booted with it
[16:58] <Mathuin_> Any suggestions on how to make vncserver work like it did before oneiric would be appreciated.
[16:58] <kibet> and thats where i am connect with
[16:58] <kibet> s/with/from/
[16:58] <arghx> soulf: and how did you install your fglrx before you uninstalled them again?
[16:58] <ewp> hey, im having trouble getting Tilda to start automatically with "startup applications" any ideas?
[16:58] <tzoscott> That was a useless misunderstanding...
[16:58] <Tenkawa> kibet: you should be able to run a grub removal somehow
[16:58] <Tenkawa> never done it myself
[16:58] <arghx> Tenkawa: there is no point in a "grub removal" hence such a thing does not exist
[16:58] <kibet> Tenkawa: i lost about 2 days of my life last year
[16:58] <kibet> Tenkawa: removing grub 2
[16:58] <kibet> Tenkawa: and BANG there it is again
[16:58] <[4-tea-2]> Tenkawa: [x] problem solved, tyvm!
[16:58] <kibet> arghx: trust me it exists
[16:58] <arghx> kibet: you cannot "remove" grub. all you can do is overwrite it with another bootloader
[16:58] <Tenkawa> arghx: since when is there no point in a MBR wipe?
[16:59] <Tenkawa> arghx: that is not correct
[16:59] <kibet> totally incorrect
[16:59] <Tenkawa> if I wanted to I could go in with dd right ow and wipe it out
[16:59] <ppcblaster> Need help  noob please, Ubuntu 11.10 installed skype and can't find it how do I launch or use installed apps
[16:59] <soulf> arghx, I had and I removed it. It didn't help. I installed it through the additional hardware money I thinkg it's called jockey or something... deactivating them through that menu didn't help so I removed the packets through synaptic.
[16:59] <Mathuin_> Is there a specific discussion for questions regarding the latest release?
[16:59] <Tenkawa> dangerous... but very doable
[16:59] <kibet> Tenkawa: that was what i was thinking -- to dangerous
[16:59] <arghx> Tenkawa: yes. and you wipe out your partition table too. good job!
[16:59] <Tenkawa> [4-tea-2]: cool :)
[16:59] <drainbamage> <dell XPS 15 with intel HD and nvidia GT540M (with optimus support) running ubuntu 10.04 >
[16:59] <Uniman> I am new to the Ubuntu world, but want to do a full install, running wubi atm. Unfortinaly I have some win7 programs I _have_to_ have. I have checked some on Virtual box or wine, do anyone have any tips on what to use?
[16:59] <ewp> ppcblaster: use Dash home, search for it
[16:59] <arghx> kibet: what bootloader do you want instead of grub then?
[16:59] <MonkeyDust> ppcblaster: launch alacarte and look in Internet
[16:59] <tzoscott> Hey what would cause Unity taskbar icons from 11.04 to disappear when I upgraded to 11.10? (Someone suggested I install GNOME 3... that's -not- what I want to do).
[16:59] <kibet> arghx: grub-LEGACY
[16:59] <Tenkawa> arghx: I've had to rebuild ptables by hand many timrd
 want to turn off the nvidia card
[17:00] <qin> ppcblaster: open terminal and skype
[17:00] <soulf> arghx, damn typo menu not money :P
[17:00] <kibet> arghx: not the freaking stupid version of it
[17:00] <MonkeyDust> ppcblaster: never mind my words
[17:00] <Tenkawa> working with arm boxes can be a pain
[17:00] <ppcblaster> how
[17:00] <arghx> drainbamage: do it in BIOS. or use vgaswitcheroo
[17:00] <drainbamage> issue>system hang while playing video
[17:00] <kibet> wtf is wrong with UBUNTU replacing everything it worked?
[17:00] <Mathuin_> ^5 kibet
[17:00] <ppcblaster> please explain
[17:00] <hylian> my acer aspire netbook hangs on reboot under ubuntu 11.10, it did not do this with 11.04 how do i fix this?
[17:00] <drainbamage> there is support in bios
[17:00] <arghx> kibet: and what is your actual problem with that?
[17:00] <ppcblaster> can I add to sidebar
[17:00] <[4-tea-2]> Uniman: until you are sure you can run everything in some emulation, I would preserve a windows partition for dual-boot, to be on the safe side.
[17:01] <arghx> drainbamage: I said: disable it in BIOS
[17:01] <Tenkawa> [4-tea-2]: ia32-libs is nice and a big pain at the same time
[17:01] <ewp> ppcblaster: on the left, dash home. when you click it your screen gets darker and you see sub-menus on the right. skype will be in the internet category
[17:01] <kibet> arghx: it never worked for me, and its about<PHONE_NUMBER>802938^10^100 times more difficult to debug than grub-legacy
[17:01] <MonkeyDust> kibet: that's called "getting used to a new interface"
[17:01] <rhizmoe> software center takes a year to start up
[17:01] <soulf> arghx, to clarify, my fisrt sentence refers to xorg.conf. My second to the fglrx driver.
[17:01] <arghx> kibet: I asked you what your problem with using grub-legacy is
[17:01] <drainbamage> there is no support in BIOS to disable
[17:01] <drainbamage> it
[17:01] <kibet> MonkeyDust: did you hear about the mac 1-button-mouse?
[17:01] <tzoscott> kibet: Install gnome 3. That will fix it. :-)
[17:01] <Tenkawa> drainbamage: same here
[17:01] <arghx> drainbamage: then use vgaswitcheroo
[17:01] <Uniman> [4-tea-2], afraid of that... don't want to reeboot all the time, but perhaps it can't be helped...
[17:01] <kibet> tzoscott: w t ... f?
[17:01] <drainbamage> k
[17:01] <kibet> arghx: grub-legacy is FINE
[17:02] <arghx> soulf: pastebin your Xorg.0.log
[17:02] <kibet> arghx: grub 2 bricks my system every time
[17:02] <Tenkawa> arghx: vgaswitcheroo has issues with some of these dual card boxes
[17:02] <Mathuin_> Moving the buttons from the top-right to top-left is "getting used to a new interface".  Losing functionality is not.
[17:02] <Tenkawa> including my asus
[17:02] <Mathuin_> I would *love* to find a place to ask for help with regaining my lost functionality.
[17:02] <arghx> kibet: if you have no actual ubuntu support problem, please be quiet in here and don't spam. thank you
[17:02] <drainbamage> arghx :and i'm having one more issue
[17:02] <kibet> arghx: are you freaking kidding me
[17:02] <kibet> arghx: ubuntu updater made that mistake
[17:02] <arghx> !ot | kibet
[17:02] <kibet> arghx: ubuntu channels are gonna fix it
[17:02] <Tenkawa> drainbamage: whats the other glitch?
[17:03] <drainbamage> while playing any video file on ubuntu system freeze
 "Tenkawa: yes. and you wipe out your partition table too. good job!"     wrong, just use "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=440 count=1" to get rid of any bootloader(whyever)
[17:03] <drainbamage> and i had to reboot
[17:03] <Tenkawa> llutz: thank you :)
[17:03] <drainbamage> it
[17:03] <drainbamage> to get back
[17:03] <Polah> llutz: Isn't it 446?
[17:03] <Tenkawa> I couldnt remember the details..
[17:03] <llutz> Polah: nop 0-439
[17:03] <kibet> arghx: the only one offtopic here is you, im totally dissapointed with ubuntu updater, and you are telling me its not an ubuntu issue
[17:04] <Tenkawa> does anyone know offhand why the whole /var/run /run switch occured?
[17:04] <puff> Something weird happened to empathy, it's not showing my contacts.
[17:04] <llutz> Polah: then 4byte disk-signature, 2 NULL bytes and then partitiontable follows
[17:04] <arghx> kibet: talking about bootloaders and such is OT yes, as you said you have no support problem with your bootloader
[17:04] <Tenkawa> that gave me some grief on day 1 upgrade
[17:04] <kalib> Hi people, is there a way to "clean" my user? I mean, remove all the configs, profiles, etc.. Like if the user was a new one crated right now?
[17:04] <oCean> !afk > mang0
[17:04] <arghx> llutz: please take this ti #ibm-pc-arch or such. not ubuntu. thank you
[17:04] <rhizmoe> grr. where is the compiz config settings manager i just installed? nowhere in dash, nowhere in locate.
[17:04] <kibet> arghx: Double facepalm for you sir, didnt i just say it BRICKED my system and i need to REMOVE it in order to boot BACK again?
[17:04] <kibet> arghx: where did you get lost?
[17:04] <llutz> m(
[17:05] <arghx> kibet: you can create a new user and use that user's config files or home directory
[17:05] <rhizmoe> this early adopter stuff is for the birds
[17:05] <wildc4rd> evening all
[17:05] <Tenkawa> rhizmoe: nah.. its fun heheheeheheheh
[17:05] <arghx> kibet: can you please stop talking to me?
[17:05] <Polah> kibet: GRUB2 is the default bootloader for Ubuntu, it makes sense that the installer/updater would install GRUB2. It is not an Ubuntu issue that your computer is incapable of using GRUB2. Send an email to Canonical complaining about Ubuntu installing GRUB2 when updating, this channel is not here to handle your complaints about things.
[17:05] <soulf> arghx, voila: http://pastebin.com/KVF7F0Qm thanks for your interest in my problem :)
[17:05] <kibet> arghx: you dont make sense -- so same goes to you
[17:05] <Polah> llutz: Ah I see, what's the disc signature for though?
[17:06] <kibet> Polah: actually, grub2 is incapable of recognizing my system, and it should ask me instead of messing up
[17:06] <arghx> soulf: you still have a xorg.conf
[17:06] <rhizmoe> Tenkawa: for people with a lot of free time i suppose :)
[17:06] <Mathuin_> Anyone out there notice that the behavior of vncserver has changed under oneiric, and know how to make it work the way it used to?
[17:06] <sharpshooter> Hai all !! I changed my mouse icon theme , after that my new  theme only works with my web browser !
[17:06] <cutiyar> waiting network configuration on booting how can be fix?? i used some tutorial doesnt work
[17:06] <Tenkawa> rhizmoe: heheehehh
[17:06] <soulf> arghx, damnit... where? I could swear I deleted a file called xorg.conf ...
[17:06] <Polah> kibet: Again, that's still a fault between your system and GRUB2, thus it is not relevant here.
[17:06] <llutz> Polah: seriously: idk
[17:06] <kibet> Polah: its still regarding ubuntu
[17:06] <arghx> llutz: ls /etc/X11;ls /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
[17:07] <rhizmoe> i mean yeah, if you're just sitting around in the dorms
[17:07] <kibet> Polah: i solved this problem once, but with pure luck
[17:07] <llutz> arghx: what?
[17:07] <sianhulo> people, may someone help me?
[17:07] <arghx> llutz: sorry, was for soulf
[17:07] <puff> I'm on ubuntu 10.4 LTS, running empathy 2.30.3.  My machine crashed yesterday (failed to resume from hibernate, booted from scratch) and when I ran empathy, the empathy window came up, but no contacts are showing up.  I tried the obvious (set availability offline and then set available, go into accounts and disable/reenable my gmail account) but still no contacts.  Help?
[17:07] <arghx> soulf: ls /etc/X11;ls /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
[17:07] <rhizmoe> so how can i run compizconfig?
[17:07] <hylian> my acer aspire netbook hangs on reboot under ubuntu 11.10, it did not do this with 11.04 how do i fix this?
[17:07] <puff> sianhulo: Quite probably somebody will, if you ask your question.
[17:08] <Polah> kibet: Only so far that Ubuntu installed GRUB2. The problem lies in the fact that GRUB2 and your system are incompatible. Thus, it is not relevant here and you should install another bootloader or go to GRUB.
[17:08] <sianhulo> I have a hp pavilion laptop with maverick, and it doesn't have neither wireless nor wired internet conection
[17:08] <puff> sianhulo: Try to ask your question in one complete line.  Be specific.
[17:08] <Tenkawa> hylian: can you bring it up in recoverymode?
[17:08] <sharpshooter> Hai all !! I changed my mouse icon theme , after that my new  theme only works with my web browser !
[17:08] <Tenkawa> hylian: and at what point does it hang?
[17:08] <Tenkawa> I've seen quite a few google hits on thia
[17:08] <rhizmoe> sharpshooter: what happens when you change it back?
[17:08] <Tenkawa> er is
[17:09] <puff> sianhulo: Also, it seems pretty busy here right now (probably because 11.10 was just released) so it may take a while.
[17:09] <Polah> llutz: Just did a bit of looking apparently the disk signature to find the boot volume
[17:09] <luis_> Why is 32bit recommended for 11.10 download?
[17:09] <sharpshooter> rhizmoe, I is showing the default white theme
[17:09] <watermark> I'm trying to use Vinagre for SSH sessions and I can't seem to copy or paste from the SSH window.  It's driving me nuts, any help?
[17:09] <soulf> arghx, It's not there... and I have no xorg.xonf.d directory.
[17:10] <arghx> luis_: because everyone who can run 64bit can run 32bit too. also less incompatible software (mainly proprietary software)
[17:10] <hylian> Tenkawa, it hangs just after it posts it's going down. if i hold the power button for 5 secs and then just press power it fires up just fine. all my indicator light stays on, but the monitor dies like i shut it down.
[17:10] <Polah> luis_: Because the 32-bit version will work on almost all systems, whereas the 64-bit system will only work on 64-bit capable processors. Thus, recommending the 32-bit version is a safety for people that don't know whether their system is 64-bit capable or not.
[17:10] <sharpshooter> rhizmoe, any solution
[17:10] <luis_> Thank you
[17:10] <Tenkawa> hylian: yeah definitely seen that on google..
[17:10] <zimb0> how can i customize the mail icon in the panel (unity)
[17:10] <zimb0> ?
[17:10] <llutz> Polah: so it's ams/win thing? unix/linux doesn't need this, afaik
[17:10] <sburwood1> Hey everyone, I'm back a couple minutes
[17:10] <arghx> soulf: but your X wants to load fglrx
[17:10] <bbya> is it just me, or there has been no updates available for ubuntu 11.10 for the last two days??
[17:10] <sburwood1> Polah: Any ideas during my absence?
[17:10] <kibet> Polah: what IS revelant here, is the actual solution procedure, of Uninstalling GRUB2
[17:10] <Polah> llutz: According to Wikipedia, it was a Windows NT feature but Linux uses it from 2.6 onwards
[17:11] <bbya> *has there
[17:11] <llutz> Polah: ah ok, thx
[17:11] <hylian> Tenkawa, if i just choose shutdown, no problems. if i boot to a live cd on my usb key, and then reboot no problems, so it's definetely the os...
[17:11] <mang0> oCean: Sorry about my nick and /away thing, it's because I'm in a couple of other channels where people take no notice of /away status. :/
[17:11] <Polah> kibet: You were already told how to do that. Although, just installing any other bootloader would write over it anyway.
[17:11] <Polah> sburdwood1: You'll have to remind me what your problem was
[17:11] <bbya> nevermind, i got list of updates available
[17:11] <bbya> now
[17:11] <rhizmoe> sharpshooter: what happens when you change it back?
[17:11] <arghx> soulf: and from what I see, GLX should work too. you can check with glxconfig
[17:11] <Tenkawa> hylian: sounds like the framebuffer wont shutfoff
[17:11] <arghx> soulf: sorry, with glxinfo of course
[17:11] <Tenkawa> er shutdoff
[17:11] <Tenkawa> uggh
[17:11] <kibet> Polah: how can i re-write it from the boot-CD then?
[17:12] <sburwood1> Polah: Thunderbird telling me that it is already running  when I try to start it
[17:12] <Polah> kibet: The LiveCD of Ubuntu will just give you GRUB2 again
[17:12] <Polah> sburwood1, oh I remember now. Is it all the time, i.e. does it happen the first time you open it after booting?
[17:12] <kibet> Polah: exactly
[17:12] <Tenkawa> grub-install /dev/device if you got the right one avail
[17:12] <kibet> Polah: THATS the issue
[17:12] <sharpshooter> rhizmoe,  when I change it back it shows the default white mouse theme
[17:12] <hylian> Tenkawa, ill look into that, thanks. it's only a minor inconvenience at this stage.
[17:12] <rhizmoe> sharpshooter: and? it works?
[17:12] <Tenkawa> kibet: did you update your initramfs's??
[17:13] <Tenkawa> kibet: thats broke grub a few times on me
[17:13] <ifrit> Hi! I just updated to 11.10 and everything is ok, but the sound doesn't work properly :( Any idea? Thanks.
[17:13] <Tenkawa> err not doing it
[17:13] <sburwood1> Polah: It started happening during the last days of 11.04 and continues to happen with 11.10
[17:13] <Polah> kibet: That isn't a problem, that's what it is supposed to do. You'll need to acquire means to install another bootloader.
[17:13] <sianhulo> btw, somebody knows if ubuntu have some kind of biometric support?
[17:13] <rhizmoe> ifrit: do we already know what you mean by "properly?"
[17:13] <soulf> arghx, if glxinfo's a command it doesn't work...
[17:13] <sharpshooter> rhizmoe, no the new theme only shows when I use firefox or any text area or any link etc
[17:13] <Polah> sburwood1: Hmm, in that case it could be due to a recent update to Thunderbird. If your reboot and try to open it, does it run fine?
[17:13] <sburwood1> Polah: I profited from the fact that, on the EEEPC, I didn't have the problem.  Today the EEEPC went for repairs
[17:13] <arghx> !doesn't work | soulf
[17:14] <rhizmoe> sharpshooter: and what do you mean by "new theme?"
[17:14] <sburwood1> Polah: No
[17:14] <gwb> When I run update manager, while installing updates, it pauses.  If I open Details, I can see that it looks like the output from the less command.  I have to enter q to get the updates to actually install.  (It does the same from the CLI).  How can I stop update Manager from stopping at that point and waiting for me?
[17:14] <Mathuin_> According to the forums, going fallback is the workaround.  Is this real?
[17:14] <sharpshooter> rhizmoe, I installed a new mouse theme via software center.
[17:14] <sburwood1> Polah: Someone suggested that I do something to a mozilla file or directory
[17:14] <doguito> hy why ubuntu is so bloated??
[17:14] <chrisgeorge> I've got a minor problem… I can't figure out how to disable super+t in unity 11.10
[17:14] <ifrit> rhizmoe: Now the sound is not continous, there is noise and silence between the sound :/
[17:14] <soulf> arghx, it says: glxinfo: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[17:14] <sburwood1> doguito: What do you mean by bloated?
[17:15] <rhizmoe> sharpshooter: then you didn't answer my question about whether switching back works or not.
[17:15] <soulf> arghx, oh wait...
[17:15] <kakoytou> hello
[17:15] <midhuno> hi
[17:15] <Polah> sburwood1: I really don't know how to help you, unless the problem is another user (root) having some issue with starting Thunderbird on boot or something, which it shouldn't. You could try uninstalling thunderbird and removing your settings for it then reinstalling and reconfiguring it.
[17:15] <sharpshooter> rhizmoe, no its not working
[17:15] <doguito> runs slowly, ever ever
[17:15] <kibet> Tenkawa: /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /boot/grub (is /dev mounted?). :O
[17:15] <rhizmoe> sharpshooter: what happens when you change it back?
[17:16] <rhizmoe> (for the third time)
[17:16] <soulf> arghx, sudo glxinfo -v gives the same error msg.
[17:16] <doguito> open slowly, close slowly
[17:16] <arghx> soulf: install libgl1-mesa-glx
[17:16] <midhuno> i am tryin to buy a new netbook... which is best for ubuntu?? pls help me
[17:16] <Polah> doguito: "Bloated" is fairly subjective.
[17:16] <kakoytou> could someone tell me how i can see cyrillic letter on xubuntu
[17:16] <sharpshooter> rhizmoe,  wait !!
[17:16] <sburwood1> Polah: Does that mean deleting ~/.mozilla or ~/.thunderbird?
[17:16] <Tenkawa> kibet: gotta mount em up and chroot first
[17:16] <episteme> I'm gonna ask even though im sure i know the answer....is it possible to reverse deleting a file after using rm...
[17:16] <kibet> Tenkawa: chroot at the device's /?
[17:16] <arghx> sburwood1: don't delete those directories if you want to keep your mails
[17:16] <watermark> Is anyone using the "Remote Desktop Viewer" in 11.04 for SSH sessions?  I can't copy or paste from this program.  Is this not supported?
[17:16] <Polah> episteme, not simply, no.
[17:16] <Tenkawa> kibet: yeah and bind /proc /sys /dev etc under it
[17:16] <arghx> episteme: can be possible, but no guarantees
[17:16] <Polah> doguito, perhaps your hardware isn't up to scratch with running Ubuntu. Do you have a lot of processes running? How much RAM do you have?
[17:17] <kibet> Tenkawa: wait how do i do those bind stuff?
[17:17] <doguito> Polah: have you tried any other linux '?
[17:17] <sburwood1> arghx: I use the option where the mails stay on the mail server
[17:17] <kibet> Tenkawa: i remember doing it but i forgot how ;p
[17:17] <soulf> arghx, it's already installed.
[17:17] <Tenkawa> there shouldve been a menu option on the disc for repairing grub though...
[17:17] <arghx> sburwood1: still you want to keep your account config
[17:17] <doguito> Polah:  I have 1024 mb RAM
[17:17] <Polah> sburwood1, depends where its settings are stored. Firefox settings are also stored in ~/.mozilla so you may want to be careful with what you delete.
[17:17] <arghx> soulf: reinstall then
[17:18] <sburwood1> Polah: But deleting ~/.thunderbird is safe?
[17:18] <episteme> Polah, arghx: ty, good thing i have it backed up...just lost some work that i was doing locally...a mistake ill never make again :p
[17:18] <Polah> doguito: So the issue probably isn't swapping then. Run top and see which processes are running and taking up a lot of CPU resources
[17:18] <Tenkawa> mind you I havent seen oneiric's boot yet (upgraded live)
[17:18] <Tenkawa> bootcd boot that is
[17:18] <Polah> sburwood1: Back it up first just in case you need to get some stored emails or something like that out of it later
[17:18] <rhizmoe> jeez, ubuntu blogsites are the worst. "an image, 12 words, and a link to someone else's explanation"
[17:19] <arghx> soulf: reinstall the package, not ubuntu, btw
[17:19] <sburwood1> Polah: But that won't hurt Firefox or something else?  All I risk to lose is mails that are on the system?
[17:19] <sharpshooter> rhizmoe, when I change it back it is not changing to default one my default theme is adwaita black theme but the mouse uses the white theme and when I use firefox it is changing to black theme
[17:19] <arghx> sburwood1: rename the directory then. so you can rename it back if it causes problems
[17:19] <sburwood1> Polah: Thanks.  Also arghx
[17:19] <daan4711> Hi, since the upgrade to onereic, my software center became terribly slow. It takes 23 seconds to start-up. Am I the only one with this problem?
[17:19] <Polah> sburwood1: No. Firefox settings are storied in ~/.mozilla. You will lose your mail if you delete it without backing up and you've deleted the mail from your mail server.
[17:19] <doguito> Polah: maybe lubuntu, o xubuntu runs more fast, I guess, because gnome runs like dinousarur
[17:19] <rhizmoe> sharpshooter: i still don't understand
[17:19] <arghx> sburwood1: or strace thunderbird to see where it keeps its lockfile and delete only the lockfile then
[17:19] <sburwood1> arghx: Thx
[17:19] <rhizmoe> daan4711: no, it's slow
[17:20] <Polah> doguito: Try with another environment then. Install LXDE and see if that's any better.
[17:20] <sburwood1> arghx: strace?
[17:20] <rhizmoe> speaking of, how do i add ppa's to software center?
[17:20] <arghx> sburwood1: a program to debug systemcalls. man strace
[17:20] <sharpshooter> rhizmoe, the main problem is my mouse theme is not changing completely
[17:20] <arghx> !ppa | rhizmoe
[17:20] <sburwood1> arghx: Thx, bye everyone
[17:20] <daan4711> rhizmoe: Is it possible to swich back to the old Ubuntu Software Center?
[17:20] <doguito> can I install lxde from ubuntu 11.04 with gnome?L?
[17:20] <arghx> doguito: yes.
[17:21] <rhizmoe> arghx: in *Software Center*
[17:21] <Polah> doguito, yes. sudo apt-get install lxde
[17:21] <rhizmoe> arghx: i know what a ppa is
[17:21] <doguito> oleeeeeeee, I like that , from console isn't it?
[17:21] <soulf> arghx, thanks a lot for your time. I think I'm simply going to do a fresh install.
[17:21]  * Tenkawa just wishes the old theme for openbox from natty was still here
[17:21] <sharpshooter> rhizmoe,  is there any other channel specified for themes ?
[17:21] <arghx> soulf: that's overkill. reinstall the mesa gl libs
[17:21]  * Tenkawa doesnt like the look of "gnome classic" now..
[17:21] <zamba> Tenkawa: check out gnome-shell
[17:22] <Polah> rhizmoe: There's a line in one of the Software Centre's menus to open Software Sources to add PPAs. Or you could do it through the command: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:<name>:<ppa>
[17:22] <zamba> Tenkawa: i actually like it.. it's got some fluxbox feel to it
[17:22] <Tenkawa> zamba: I installed it... didnt mess with it yet
[17:22] <Tenkawa> maybe its time
[17:22] <Tenkawa> hehe thanks
[17:22] <zamba> Tenkawa: definitely is :)
[17:22] <soulf> arghx, alright...
[17:22] <rhizmoe> Polah: thanks. for everyone else, remember that there are hidden menus now.
[17:23] <soulf> arghx, but it seems to remove an awful lot including the ubuntu-desktop...
[17:23] <Polah> rhizmoe, I don't remember it being hidden (:
[17:23] <arghx> soulf: pastebin the command and its output please
[17:23] <rhizmoe> Polah: for maximized apps under unity, the title bar supplants the menu bar until you hover over it.
[17:23] <bburhans> Okay, I'm a bit confused. I have a laptop with an nvidia card that has successfully used the proprietary drivers to employ TwinView across 2 monitors (builtin + 1 external via DVI) for some time. I am now trying to add a third monitor, using the HDMI port on my card. It is detected successfully but I can't seem to use TwinView metamodes with >2 monitors ("MetaMode 1 of Screen 0 has more than two active display devices."). What's the ...
[17:23] <rhizmoe> that is what i'm calling a hidden menu
[17:23] <bburhans> ... solution here? The card is an 8600M GT and I'm running Gnome with nvidia-settings on Ubuntu 11.04.
[17:24] <Polah> rhizmoe, oh yeah. I know what you mean
[17:24] <babai> when i configure my second network card to "shared to other computers" from networkmanager it always goes to network disconnected
[17:24] <enapupe_> Hi, I would like to try/test my video performance, anyone can recommend a way?
[17:24] <babai> anyone facing this issue?
[17:24] <arghx> bburhans: nvidia cards cannot do tri monitor output
[17:24] <bburhans> arghx: ah, okay. Any way to use the onboard chipset with one of them, then?
[17:24] <poissonrouge> i need soée help in french please
[17:25] <rhizmoe> #ubuntu-fr i think
[17:25] <xangua> !fr | poissonrouge
[17:25] <arghx> bburhans: I don't know. and if you do, you cannot use the proprietary drivers anymore
[17:25] <bburhans> right. :/
[17:25] <bburhans> I didn't know if the HDMI, builtin, and DVI ports could all be used simultaneously; I guess not. Thanks, arghx
[17:25] <arghx> bburhans: but yes, X can use several different cards and do a single xinerama desktop on all of them. in this case probably intel+nouveau
[17:26] <eltigre> hey, how can I change the power management settings in the new ubuntu release? My CPU fan is screaming since the update
[17:26] <CarlFK> http://maketecheasier.com/disable-login-sound-in-ubuntu-oneiric-quick-tips/2011/09/15  where is the  "Startup Applications: [x] Gnome Login Sound" setting stored ?
[17:26] <soulf> arghx, well the following command says it's already installed: sudo apt-get --reinstall install libgl1-mesa-glx
[17:26] <fdsa> how do i turn
[17:26] <fdsa> Jack on?
[17:26] <arghx> soulf: aptitude reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx
[17:27] <CSyncope> How do I make the letters in gnome-terminal closer together
[17:27] <fdsa> how do i turn jack on?
[17:27] <CSyncope> ?
[17:27] <CSyncope> fdsa: flirt with him?
[17:27] <scwizard> php segfaulted while I was doing stuff in drupal ;_;
[17:28] <ActionParsnip> Hi guys. I gots a question. In KDE when I boot I get a message about email dispatcher not being able to find a folder. I removed kmail and all the other junk as I use webmail. Has anyone seen this at all?
[17:28] <scwizard> [Mon Oct 17 13:01:52 2011] [error] [client <IP_ADDRESS>] PHP Fatal error:  Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /var/www/.../drupal/?q=admin/modules/install \ [Mon Oct 17 13:01:53 2011] [notice] child pid 984 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
[17:29] <scwizard> this is a horrible thing to have happen and it's making me sad :(
[17:29] <Mathuin_> I gave up and asked in the forums.  Hopefully I'll get a response soon!
[17:30] <eltigre> hey, anyway to throttle a CPU in Ubuntu?
[17:30] <soulf> arghx, ok done. Now sudo glxinfo -v says command not found and without the sudo it says no such file or directory...
[17:30] <scwizard> soulf: whereis glxinfo
[17:31] <eltigre> I really need a way to control the CPU behaviour like in the old gnome control panels, but with unity.... no idea...
[17:31] <soulf> arghx, in /usr/bin/
[17:31] <arghx> soulf: ldd glxinfo
[17:32] <scwizard> soulf: what does /usr/bin/glxinfo -v say
[17:32] <scwizard> erm I mean
[17:32] <scwizard> sudo /usr/bin/glxinfo -v
[17:32] <soulf> arghx, ldd: ./glxinfo: No such file or directory
[17:32] <dschlittler15864> I'm having an issue with getting the NotifyOSD to work with Spotify
[17:32] <arghx> soulf: ldd /usr/bin/glxinfo and if it's not there anymore, install it
[17:33] <arghx> soulf: did apt remove _any_ packages?
[17:33] <eltigre> I really need a way to control the CPU behaviour like in the old gnome control panels, but with unity.... no idea...
[17:33] <hje841> in oneiric I'm using Ubuntu Classic. When there's an 'alert' in Empathy the icon in the upper right corner flashes, from the green bubble to something else. That 'something else' is not found
[17:33] <hje841> and hence flashes a red circle with a line across. Any suggestions as to how to fix that or find the missing icon?
[17:33] <kristof> I have a file which claims to be a ppt, but apparently isn't/can't be opened. What can I try to get to its contents?
[17:33] <soulf> arghx, I don't know.
[17:33] <arghx> eltigre: what behaviour?
[17:33] <eltigre> cpu throttlin / fan control
[17:33] <arghx> soulf: you should read what the computer tells you when you use sudo!
[17:33] <eltigre> my fan is screaming
[17:34] <sharpshooter>  PaulFertser :  how do I change my mouse theme completely ? when I change the mouse theme via gnome-tweak-tool its only changing partialy!!
[17:34] <mrsunshine> with the 11.10, has stuff been fixed? .. like that new ui ...
[17:34] <xangua> kristof: try google docs¿
[17:34] <arghx> soulf: dpkg -l mesa-utils
[17:34] <ActionParsnip> eltigre: what is the make and model of the system?
[17:34] <sharpshooter>  how do I change my mouse theme completely ? when I change the mouse theme via gnome-tweak-tool its only changing partialy!!
[17:34] <babai> anyone getting a GPG error when apt-get update ing?
[17:34] <eltigre> ActionParsnip, does that really matter? It's an Amd64 quadcore system
[17:34] <eltigre> Desktop
[17:34] <xangua> !gprerr | babai
[17:35] <ActionParsnip> mrsunshine: many new things fixed. The release is young so there are issues but largely its good
[17:35] <rhizmoe> mrsunshine: is that supposed to be a question?
[17:35] <sharpshooter> babai,  yeah same here !
[17:35] <ActionParsnip> eltigre: yes, there may be a bug reported for the model. If its a homebrew then its a bit trickier
[17:35] <soulf> arghx, oh yes it did, when I used the wrong command before reinstalling libgl1-mesa-glx...
[17:35] <eltigre> and since the latest ubuntu distupgrade it is way to noisy... thought I might do something about it
[17:35] <eltigre> sorry, home brew
[17:35] <mrsunshine> updated on the main computer before and unity worked crap ... and i mean utter crap
[17:35] <babai> sharpshooter:  changed but mirror but still happening
[17:35] <dschlittler15864> Does NotifyOSD work in Xubuntu 11.10?
[17:35] <arghx> soulf: and what did it remove?
[17:36] <babai> snip but
[17:36] <mrsunshine> so im kinda fearing to update on this computer (gonna make a clean install on this one tho)
[17:36] <ActionParsnip> dschlittler15864: should do
[17:36] <mrono> I am having an issue with Gnome 3.2 and nvidia seperate X screens
[17:36] <mrono> When I load it up with Gnome regular 3.2 it won't load at all, just a wallpaper, but gnome classic works
[17:36] <sharpshooter> babai,  you  need to add the missing GPG ID to software sources
[17:36] <eltigre> I knew a way to control the CPU clocking back in the gnome days...
[17:36] <flummy> nochmal: das ist KEIN FERNSEHTURM
[17:36] <flummy> hehe
[17:36] <eltigre> but then again, unity has no panels....
[17:37] <flummy> ups
[17:37] <soulf> arghx, I know this is facepalm worthy, sry to waste your time: http://pastebin.com/QTrCruez
[17:37] <eltigre> and google didn't provide me with good answers either
[17:37] <jamil_1> where does chromium store bookmarks and other settings ?
[17:37] <sharpshooter> babai, ?
[17:37] <ActionParsnip> babai: what is the output of: sudo apt-get update
[17:37] <arghx> eltigre: I suggest you use the cpu governor directly then. but it should be at on demand always. check the clockspeed on a idle system
[17:37] <babai> sharpshooter: did something like this "sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com "
[17:38] <ActionParsnip> babai: use a pastebin
[17:38] <babai> ok
[17:38] <eltigre> arghx, great idea... except that was what I'd like to do from the beginning and came here to ask how I can do that ....
[17:38] <arghx> soulf: install all of them again...
[17:39] <eltigre> I can remember a gnome-panel-widget that could do that back in the days of gnome....
[17:39] <babai> ActionParsnip: here's the o/p http://pastebin.com/yABdMR25
[17:39] <arghx> eltigre: cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
[17:39] <eltigre> there must be some kind of replacement for  unity...
[17:39] <_kad> hey, skype will got freeze when i call on ubuntu 11.10!! anyone has the same issue ? thx
[17:39] <xangua> eltigre: the days of gnome¿ gnome is still here
[17:39] <eltigre> ondemand
[17:39] <hje841> eltigre: upon login choose Ubuntu Classic ;)
[17:40] <eltigre> xangua, yeah but I have unity and I am not going to switch over this issue
[17:40] <soulf> arghx, is there a way to avoid installing each package individually?
[17:40] <arghx> eltigre: which means your cpu is set up fine, speedstep/coolnquiet wise
[17:40] <eltigre> hm
[17:40] <arghx> soulf: put them all on a single commandline. apt can install more than one package at a time
[17:40] <kion>  _kad: yes I had some trouble with Skype this morning
[17:40] <fdsa> how do i turn jack on? i cant play audio
[17:41] <sharpshooter> babai, just try this link http://www.webupd8.org/2010/05/automatically-import-all-missing.html
[17:41] <eltigre> fdsa, try the volumecontrols first
[17:41] <mrono> I'm running ubuntu 11.10 with gnome 3.2
[17:41] <antlong> hello, how do i go back to classic desktop in 11.10
[17:41] <xangua> !nounity | antlong
[17:41] <AaronCampbell> I just updated my laptop to 11.10 and some of my power settings seem to be messed up.  For example, before when I was on battery the screensaver came on and things went to sleep after a while, but when I was plugged in it never went to sleep.  Where can I find these settings?
[17:41] <_kad> kion, i have forced the 32-bit installation, but same issue
[17:41] <kion>  _kad: Fixed it by going to Ubuntu software center and installing Skype (interestingly it didnt showed it installed although I already had it)
[17:42] <sharpshooter> babai,  did u got it ?
[17:42] <babai> sharpshooter: trying an automatic key importer
[17:42] <_kad> kion, in ubuntu center there's skype:i386 is that correct?
[17:42] <sharpshooter> babai,  ok
[17:43] <kion>  _kad: thats the one I installed
[17:43] <kion> and my system is 64 but works fine
[17:44] <babai> sharpshooter: i think the link u provided only imports launchpad keys
[17:44] <sharpshooter> babai, so which key did u missed ?
[17:44] <babai> sharpshooter: http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/oneiric/Release
[17:45] <_kad> kion, thx now i install that, i'm going to test it !! well my issue was that when i call and if i idle 1 min it'll freeze hope this will fix the issue =)
[17:45] <s1> AaronCampbell: check the power options from System setings.
[17:45] <anirath> Does anyone know how I can stop the startup sound in 11.10?  It used to be i could change it in the startup applications.
[17:46] <kion>  _kad: yes, let me know how if it works!
[17:46] <WsAgent> is there any VNC console like bozteck vnc console for linux?
[17:46] <fdsa> how do i access the volume controls for jack? i cant play mp3s, but i cant open ardour or any other synth software
[17:47] <MeanderingCode> Hello all.  Has anyone had trouble (and success) with compositing (especially compiz) on Intel i965 or similar video cards?
[17:47] <xcyclist> Do I still need to identify myself here?

[17:47] <fdsa> just cant open synth software
[17:47] <WsAgent> is there any VNC console like bozteck vnc console for linux?
[17:49] <babai> sharpshooter: i was getting this exact bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/862117 then I changed the mirror to the main, and two of those gpg errors vanished
[17:49] <WsAgent> is there any VNC console like bozteck vnc console for linux?
[17:49] <babai> but update manager was not complaining in my case, i was updating from the terminal
[17:50] <ttl-> Hoi
[17:50] <_kad> kion, thx seems it works =)
[17:50] <rousing> hi
[17:50] <dsister44> Hello all.
[17:50] <kasansweat> Have any users of alternate wm's (i'm using Awesome) dealt successfully with the massive weirdness occurring with font rendering and themes after upgrading to 11.10 (neither gnome-tweak nor lxappearance is helping much?)
[17:50] <kion>  _kad: no problem ;-)
[17:50] <xcyclist> I just upgraded to 11.0 on my T410 Thinkpad, and the new system leaves my mouse wigging out all the time.  Is this a known problem, and is there any way I can easily help get data for developers on it?
[17:50] <dsister44> I want to boot into Unity 2d on my netbook
[17:50] <sharpshooter> babai, just go to  the Software Sources and uncheck the box for 'extras' reload Synaptic and should be good to go
[17:50] <dsister44> but it changes to regular unity whenever I start it
[17:50] <dsister44> Anyway to stop this?
[17:51] <[sYn]> dsister44: uninstall it?
[17:51] <dsister44> [sYn]: Just re-install Ubuntu?
[17:51] <Barzogh> kasansweat: i'm running WMFS , everything worked fine for me since my upgrade
[17:51] <saloxin2> why does "classic gnome session" have a broken bar at the top?
[17:51] <_kad> kion, also i was using k3b for burning DVD's but crash with ubuntu 11.10, do u know any good application like k3b?
[17:51] <rousing> As many i'd like to stay with gnome-panel, the only good theme i've found arround is adwaita, is there a way to customize this theme ? like changing icon etc ? alsi i'd like to know to to enable Alt+F2 with gnome panel please
[17:52] <[sYn]> No, just remove the Unity package.. not sure if it would work though :P
[17:52] <kion> _kad I use Brasero
[17:53] <saloxin2> anyone posted a "howto get a clean gnome3" on this oneiric yet?
[17:53] <_kad> kion, always fail with me nevermind i'll check other thx alot mate =)
[17:53] <AaronCampbell> Is it just me or did the power control settings get simpler (less flexible) in 11.10?
[17:53] <sharpshooter> babai,  did u tried?
[17:53] <babai> sharpshooter: trying now
[17:54] <kasansweat> Barzogh :  How does WMFS handle theming? In awesome, I'm literally seeing three different theme settings for GTK apps. (Firefox, Nautilus, and Zim all have different theme settings)
[17:54] <babai> sharpshooter: i also did a apt-get clean so its downloading the archives
[17:54] <saloxin2> I think this is it for me. anyone recommend a good distro for gnome3?
[17:55] <sharpshooter> babai, ok
[17:55] <demonspork> saloxin2, any distro that has gnome2 baked in
[17:55] <FlusterCluck> Anyone know the proper way to have postgresql 9.1 launch at boot in 11.10? (or, you know, just after boot)
[17:56] <soulf> arghx, here's the output of glxinfo: http://pastebin.com/RE4Xf6gX
[17:56] <mfaroukg> where is the proxy manager ?
[17:56] <Barzogh> kasansweat: well if we want to customize a theme in WMFS, we juste have to modify the wmfsrc file .. i don't use nautilus and firefox is not themed.
[17:56] <mfaroukg> where is the proxy manager ? (ubuntu 11.10)
[17:57] <demonspork> !pm > him
[17:57] <arghx> soulf: it now should run normal unity. it supports 3D acceleration now
[17:57] <costre> I installed regular ubuntu on a netbook. I cant find the regular menus, such as settings -> administration .... ideas?
[17:58] <kasansweat> Barzogh: Hmm, okay. before I was able to just install lxappearance from LXDE and use that. Will have to dig around a bit i suppose
[17:58] <soulf> arghx, okay, I will reboot and come back.
[17:58] <MonkeyDust> costre: dash and then the second small icon below
[17:58] <xangua> !unity | costre
[17:59] <s1> mfaroukg: check Network in system settings > Network proxy.
[17:59] <mongy> Anyone know how to get decent window decoration with compiz in xubuntu, emerald is no longer in the repo
[17:59] <babai> sharpshooter: its fixed, I didn't change the software sources, removed old /var/lib/apt/lists did a apt-get clean and apt-get update
[18:00] <van> Olá você sabe se ja tem algum aplicativo que vai substituir o remastersys no Ubuntu 11.10??
[18:00] <mfaroukg> s1, where is the exceptions ?
[18:00] <xangua> !pt | van
[18:00] <kasansweat> Wow, it looks like a lot of people are having similar problems, I think Canonical/Gnome may have screwed up this one. It's one thing to make new defaults, it's quite another to break/hide old settings
[18:00] <sharpshooter> babai, sounds good !!
[18:00] <s1> mfaroukg: what exceptions!
[18:01] <mfaroukg> s1, if I want some links to connect without the proxy, it was there in 11.04
[18:01] <babai> sharpshooter: shamelessly asking again :P  :can u help me with this one man? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1863170
[18:02] <xcyclist> I'm having very serious problems with the mouse since upgrading to 11.10 on my Thinkpad T410.
[18:02] <crussell> Hi there, does someone have a quick couple minutes to assist in a NFS issue?
[18:03] <xcyclist> crussell:  NFS is more of a server issue.  Has server stuff been merged into this group?
[18:03] <soulf> arghx, unity works. Thank you very much for your help!
[18:04] <crussell> xcyclist, i don't have that answer.  Might you direct me to the correct channel?  I thought it could pertain to a workstation, since it's a nfs client issue
[18:04] <xcyclist> crussell:  Not a criticism, just a straight question.
[18:04] <s1> mfaroukg: Ah, i wasn't on 11.04 .. so i have no clue.
[18:04] <sharpshooter> babai, remove u r network manager and install wicd application and try ? it works for me.:)
[18:05] <mfaroukg> s1, what would replace that?
[18:05] <xcyclist> What is the question?  If it is complex, sometimes the best thing is to post all the evidence to pastie.org or something, and then post the URL.
[18:05] <crussell> I don't believe it is.. i think i fat fingered something.  Here goes
[18:06] <azi> afer update to 11.10 i ended up with this silly window manager. i have now installed xubuntu and loged into it and it looks the same? how can i get to a normal window manageR
[18:06] <crussell> I exported a directory, example /var/lib/nova/instances.  However when i go to mount it on another machine.  Rather than seeing the contents directly where i mount it, it shows up like this /var/lib/nova/instances/var/lib/nova/instances
[18:06] <azi> ?
[18:06] <costre> hmm, I just tried running samba from the admin menu, but nothing appeared to happen. It asked for root password, and then nothing. I was hoping for a config window
[18:06] <crussell> See how it repeats the directory structure.
[18:06] <sharpshooter> babai,  ?
[18:06] <s1> mfaroukg: perhaps you wanna use Tor + tor web browser add-on, for that matter.
[18:07] <benwork> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenVPN <- This page speaks of a ta.key, but no "ta.key" is ever generated, are these docs out of date?
[18:07] <Brazilian> you guys, how do I remove the new left bar and get back to what it use to be
[18:07] <Brazilian> ?
[18:07] <crussell> NM! if i just mount it at root it will work...

[18:07] <freakx> hi
[18:07] <crussell> duh, not sure why it's behaving differently after my permission changes
[18:07] <mfaroukg> I tried the proxy by the ubuntu 11.10 and it does not support he location, it so annoying
[18:07] <MonkeyDust> !nounity| Brazilian
[18:07] <crussell> Ty for the help =)
[18:07] <freakx> how to downgrade 11.10 to 11.04?
[18:07] <pangolin> !downgrade

[18:08] <DasEi> !classic | brazilian
[18:08] <freakx> guys ... with that update to 11.10 from 11.04 you even beat microsoft updates ...
[18:08] <bobweaver> !notunity
[18:08] <s1> freakx: the only way that i know of.. is to reinstall 11.04 as a fresh installation.
[18:08] <azi> freakx: +1
[18:09] <ActionParsnip> freakx: how do you "beat microsoft updates"?
[18:09] <mrono> any ideas why gnome 3.2 fails with seperate x screens and xinerama on nvidia
[18:09] <s1> perhaps he meant " the upgrade" ..
[18:09] <MonkeyDust> mrono: rather ask how to solve the issue
[18:10] <babai> sharpshooter: u have any idea how to share internet ?  I do it in my archbox thourh network manager, or via iptables but in ubuntu nm fails, and iptables seems not working also :(
[18:10] <mrono> MonkeyDust: ok, How do I solve gnome 3.2 not loading with seperate x screens and xinerama turned on with nvidia?
[18:10] <xcyclist> I'm not sure I'm really having any basic problems with Unity as much as the mouse doesn't work, and I appear to have lost a bunch of my configurations for things like the wireless connections.
[18:10] <ActionParsnip> freakx: do you mean faster/
[18:11] <Milena> is there a command i can add to my custom starup programs so they can start minimized,in 11.10 alltray is not doing it ?
[18:11] <freakx> ActionParsnip: when you update windows it's like a walking a tightrope ...
[18:11] <FlusterCluck> Is there a simple way to start the postgresql service (or any application) at boot in 11.10? (I can't seem to one-line it in 'Startup Applications')
[18:11] <freakx> 50/50 that it f... something
[18:11] <Milena> for example thunderbird and empathy,i want them to start minimized
[18:11] <ActionParsnip> freakx: not had an issue, mind you were have change testers. I update about 50 servers a night, all work well
[18:11] <xcyclist> crussell:  Another suggestion with this group is patience.  There are many things going on, and questions don't always get immediately answered.  I for instance have not seen you pastie yet.  Keep trying, but at the same time, don't flood with restatements of your question.
[18:12] <freakx> ActionParsnip: lot of my friends have problem with something ...
[18:12] <DasEi> FlusterCluck: add it to /etc/rc.local
[18:12] <ActionParsnip> freakx: strange
[18:12] <DasEi> !startup | FlusterCluck
[18:13] <ActionParsnip> FlusterCluck: if it needs root access then in /etc/rc.local   if it only needs user access then there is a startup app you can use to add commands to run at startup
[18:13] <sharpshooter> babai, in ubuntu which shell are u using ?
[18:13] <freakx> and gnome classic ... is now so shitty ...
[18:13] <freakx> :(
[18:13] <s1> !gnome2
[18:13] <DasEi> freakx: then use another wm/fork
[18:13] <babai> sharpshooter: bash
[18:13] <freakx> how i can back to the classic version from 11.04?
[18:14] <costre> my patience is dropping more for every new version of ubuntu. In 8.04 I could research stuff for ages, now I just go "fuck it" when something starts messing with me ... :)
[18:14] <oCean> costre: mind your language here
[18:14] <milk`> !nounity
[18:14] <pangolin> costre: no swearing please
[18:14] <costre> "fudge it"
[18:14] <ActionParsnip> Milena: I believe thunderbird has a switch you can add to make it minimize. I seem to remember there being a tray plugin
[18:14] <freakx> i have gnome shell
[18:15] <freakx> but i want the classic menu from 11.04 with system, preferences, rythym box on speaker icon
[18:15] <freakx> etc
[18:15] <freakx> ;)
[18:15] <MeanderingCode> xcyclist: What graphics does your T410 have?
[18:15] <FlusterCluck> ActionParsnip: tried that (Startup Applications) and it (pg_ctlcluster) prefers to be launched by its owner (postgres)
[18:15] <MeanderingCode> xcyclist: and have you had problems w/ accel/compositing
[18:15] <FlusterCluck> And I can't figure out how to su or sudo as postgres and still hand over its password...
[18:16] <sharpshooter> babai, Go to system settings > network setting click on wireless and u can see a button named use as hotspot try it
[18:16] <ActionParsnip> FlusterCluck: then use su to run the command as a differnet user
[18:16] <ActionParsnip> Milena: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/thunderbird/addon/minimizetotray/

[18:16] <xcyclist> I don't know accel/compositing.  Sorry.  I'll look up the graphics now.
[18:16] <babai> sharpshooter:  i'm trying to share it to my other pc thourh cat 5 crosscable
[18:17] <ActionParsnip> davf: tried rdesktop?
[18:17] <lindenle> Just upgraded to 11.10 and kernel hangs on boot
[18:17] <davf> No the server side is the problem ActinParsnip.
[18:17] <freakx> lindenle: :D
[18:17] <xcyclist> MeanderingCode:  Sorry; what's the proc for the graphics.
[18:17] <davf> I get a login error saying failed to load session "ubuntu"
[18:17] <xcyclist> cat /proc/??
 not so much
[18:17] <FlusterCluck> ActionParsnip: tried it but don't understand how to handle the password issue (is it '%p'?)
[18:17] <freakx> lindenle: there's one solution in this distro to all problems ...
[18:17] <davf> it did this after upgrade and then fresh install.
[18:18] <freakx> clean install :D
 go back to debian?
[18:18] <FlusterCluck> ActionParsnip: also still looking for where these errors kick up in log files
[18:18] <sharpshooter> babai, give a try  to wicd network application
[18:18] <MeanderingCode> xcyclist: don't know.  i use `lshw -c display` and/or `lspci`
[18:18] <babai> sharpshooter: ok
[18:18] <mongy> Anyone know how to get decent window decoration with compiz in xubuntu, emerald is no longer in the repo
[18:18] <freakx> :)
[18:19] <ActionParsnip> davf: did you run: sudo /usr/local/xrdp/xrdpstart.sh
[18:19] <ActionParsnip> FlusterCluck: as the things in /etc/rc.local   it can run as any user
[18:20] <davf> ActionParsnip I don't see that script.
[18:20] <ActionParsnip> davf: maybe its just an old guide I found. Can you connect to localhost?
[18:21] <Ong_y_ka> ola ikonia bruda
[18:21] <yshi|afl> hello, i just installed 11.10 on a new machine i built recently, am trying to remote connect from my laptop. i set sharing and security in Desktop Sharing and try to connect vcn to the ip with Remote Desktop Viewer and get a 'connection to host (ip) was closed' do i need to open a port? and where would i find that?
[18:22] <ActionParsnip> yshi|afl: are the systems on the same LAN?
[18:22] <FlusterCluck> ActionParsnip: So I have this one liner: [su -c '/usr/bin/pg_ctlcluster 9.1 main start' -- postgres] which works in shell, but still demands a password. In "Startup Applications" it doesn't seem to work (and I can't find where those errs/warnings should be logged -- not in /var/log/postgres)
[18:22] <yshi|afl> ActionParsnip, they are both wlan on the same router
[18:22] <ActionParsnip> FlusterCluck: add it in /etc/rc.local above the exit 0 line and it will run as the user without password
[18:22] <yshi|afl> wireless g if that makes a difference
[18:23] <xcyclist> MeanderingCode:  http://pastie.org/2712988
[18:23] <DasEi> FlusterCluck: try just the line /usr/bin/pg_ctlcluster 9.1 main start' -- postgres         in /etc/rc.local
[18:23] <davf> ActionParsnip will that work rdp into yourself?
[18:24] <xcyclist> MeanderingCode:  My laptop may lock up again, so please forgive me if I disappear for a bit.
[18:24] <lucidguy> NFS question:  Why does one have to remount a directory they want to export?  Why cant I simply export the source directory?
 : ridiculous, so ubuntu is creating a whole group of linux users who just wipe there machine rather than try to understand the real issue... so sad...
[18:24] <MeanderingCode> Hmmm...is that a graphic lockup?  I'm on same (or similar) and have had video issues since upgrade
[18:24] <ActionParsnip> yshi|afl: same lan is fine. the firewall should let the data through, or did you enable some rules?
[18:24] <GO1D> Could anyone help me plz? :) I want to have my two screens as "extended desktop" but everytime I activate my other screen I get http://paste.ubuntu.com/711162/
[18:24] <xcyclist> lucidguy:  You can set up automount.  I haven't done that for 10 years.  I think it may be automatic with some NFS configs now.
[18:24] <ActionParsnip> davf: possibly, its worth a try
[18:25] <ntr0py> Can someone tell me the correct cmd to format EXT4 on RAID5 across 4 discs (3data + 1 parity) with 64k chunk size? is it "mkfs.ext4 -E stride=16,stripe-width=48 /dev/path" or  "mkfs.ext4 -E stride=16,stripe-width=192 /dev/path"
[18:25] <MeanderingCode> xcyclist: (i skipped 11.04, but had things pretty dialed on 10.10)
[18:25] <MeanderingCode> xcyclist: *Hmmm...is that a graphic lockup? I'm on same (or similar) and have had video issues since upgrade
[18:25] <dr_willis> lucidguy:  i dont recall haveing to remount my nfs exports.. its been a while. all i did was follow the !nfs wiki page
[18:25] <xcyclist> MeanderingCode:  It appears to be associated with the same mouse problem.  The mouse gets more and more wigged out until the whole desktop locks up.
[18:26] <GO1D> Could anyone help me plz? :) I want to have my two screens as "extended desktop" but everytime I activate my other screen I get http://paste.ubuntu.com/711162/
[18:26] <MeanderingCode> xcyclist: Wow.  i don't have mouse issues, but compositing has been creating problems w/ X
[18:26] <yshi|afl> ActionParsnip, my laptop is an upgrade from 11.04, never set a firewall on that, made almost no changes to the tower yet, and as far as i know i have nothign special on the router. (dont have username/password for that right now, wasnt home when fios was installed)
[18:26] <xcyclist> MeanderingCode:  Sorry.  Should I look up compositing?
[18:27] <FlusterCluck> DasEi: Gotcha, without the 'su -c' then?
[18:27] <asteve> sudo question: why does the following: http://pastie.org/2713006 prompt for a password?
[18:27] <MeanderingCode> xcyclist: well, you could try selecting "Ubuntu Classic" from the login screen's session menu and see if the problem goes away
[18:28] <MeanderingCode> xcyclist: that's Gnome w/o Unity
[18:28] <DasEi> FlusterCluck: yes, ubu uses sudo, and things in rc.local run with root privilegs, your consideration if you want it, else need an additionale line either there or in visudo file
[18:28] <BlueEagle> MeanderingCode: I don't have the "Ubuntu classic" option. All I got was Ubuntu and Ubuntu 2d
[18:28] <dr_willis> asteve: those are lines from your /etc/sudoers file?
[18:28] <xcyclist> MeanderingCode:  I may try that next.  Just to get the problem out there, as I suspect others see it:  you move the mouse or mouse over and things just get clicked automagically.
[18:28] <GO1D> Could anyone help me plz? :) I want to have my two screens as "extended desktop" but everytime I activate my other screen I get http://paste.ubuntu.com/711162/
[18:28] <asteve> dr_willis: /etc/sudoers.d/file
[18:28] <yshi|afl> ActionParsnip, i also tried a reverse connection on both machines and got the same error
[18:28] <asteve> 0440
[18:28] <dr_willis> asteve:  cant say ive ever messed with sudoers.d/
[18:28] <xcyclist> MeanderingCode:  And the accidental mouseclicks get worse and worse some sessions until the session locks up.
[18:29] <MeanderingCode> BlueEagle: Interesting.  2d would be w/o compositing
[18:29] <ActionParsnip> yshi|afl: is the service running?
[18:29] <MeanderingCode> perhaps "Ubuntu classic" was from 11.04
[18:29] <BlueEagle> MeanderingCode: I guessed as much. Doesn't help me find the classic desktop though.
[18:29] <dr_willis> asteve:  wouldent it be better to be using the 'sudo service SERVICENAME whatever' command?
[18:29] <xcyclist> MeanderingCode:  It is a pretty damning bug, to be gentle about it, and it is on my work machine.  I am hoping I can help get it fixed before it eats too much into my work week.
[18:30] <MeanderingCode> BlueEagle: i think the "gnome-session" package provides the "classic" desktop
[18:30] <yshi|afl> ActionParsnip, im sorry, what service?
[18:30] <asteve> dr_willis: meh, that really doesn't fix nor help my current problem
[18:30] <asteve> :)

[18:40] <dr_willis> Travis-42:  You could do some fancy scripting  and make soft links to all the files in a single dir.
[18:40] <dr_willis> Travis-42:  i think the cp command has an option to make links instead of copying data
[18:40] <user__> i have the the file sharing set up and when I go to mnt-hgfs and the folder name is vm shared folder
[18:40] <dr_willis> bbl
[18:41] <Travis-42> dr_willis, hmm, not a simple solution, since I'd have to rerun that script, but that might actually work... thanks!

[18:46] <usr13> ayrus: What seems to be the problem?
[18:46] <sage79> thanks
[18:46] <JoshMnem> I've been using Ubuntu since Warty Warthog, but I'm completely lost in 11.10. I tried add gnome-panel back, but I can't right click on anything to put quickstart icons on the menu bar. Also, all the options are gone to change the theme, e.g., move the close buttons back to the top right corner of the windows. Anyone know if there is a way to fix those things?
[18:46] <iceroot> drey: press shift
[18:46] <ActionParsnip> drey: hold shift at boot
[18:46] <sharpshooter> Milena,
[18:46] <drey> thanks both
[18:47] <g0th> how do I upload a file on the web?
[18:47] <usr13> ayrus: Can you describe the problem in some detail for us?
[18:47] <g0th> is there any other browser besides firefox I can use?
[18:47] <usr13> g0th: yes
[18:47] <ActionParsnip> g0th: plenty
[18:47] <[sYn]> JoshMnem: Don't use Unity.
[18:47] <ayrus> usr13: Thank you. I want to install the graphics driver. I tried using http://linuxfloat.org/ubuntu-1104-how-install-sis-671672-mirage3-driver and get my OS corrupted. Now I installed second time
[18:47] <ActionParsnip> g0th: chromium, opera, midori, arora
[18:47] <usr13> g0th: If you want text only, there's lynx
[18:47] <JoshMnem> sYn: I want to get rid of Unity, but I don't know how
[18:47] <brontosaurusrex> JoshMnem, about buttons, try gconf-editor and gnome-tweak-tool
[18:47] <g0th> I just want to upload a file
[18:48] <[sYn]> !nounity | JoshMnem
[18:48] <usr13> ayrus: What display adapter do  you have?
[18:48] <user__> the shortcut wont work...when I send a file to it I can't access it in windows. it's kinda odd cause it used to work fine in 9.04
[18:48] <g0th> when firefox tries to upload a file the box to choose one is just white and nothing happens
[18:48] <brontosaurusrex> gnome-panel is not similar to gnome 2, so thats false imho, unless i cant use it..
[18:48] <[sYn]> JoshMnem: You probably want to go wiht GNOME Fallback mode as thats similar to gnome 2, which seems to be what you are looking for. Gnome 3 isnt that much different to Unity.
[18:48] <ayrus> usr13: Its SIS graphics, but I don't know the model name. How can I get it. Is there is any command I have to run?
[18:49] <usr13> ayrus: In a terminal type:  lspci |grep -i vga

[18:51] <GO1D> can any1 help me please? I get http://paste.ubuntu.com/711162/ every tim I try to activate my smaller screen
[18:51] <ayrus> usr13: I downloaded today from the ubuntu website.
[18:51] <usr13> ayrus: lsb_release -a
[18:51] <guntbert> user__: "it won't work" .. are you able to create the link?
[18:51] <usr13> will tell you.  11.04 or 11.10  ?
[18:51] <user__> yes
[18:51] <ayrus> user13: Output: Distributor ID:	Ubuntu Description:	Ubuntu 11.10 Release:	11.10 Codename:	oneiric
[18:52] <brontosaurusrex> is default shortkey for dash logo button?
[18:52] <ayrus> usr13: Distributor ID:	Ubuntu Description:	Ubuntu 11.10 Release:	11.10 Codename:	oneiric
[18:52] <usr13> ayrus: Ok good.  So what does the screen look like now?
[18:52] <ayrus> usr13: Its so bad.
[18:52] <user__> guntbert I send things to the shortcut but when I access the folder in windows its empty. If I send it to mnt,hgfs, vmshared folder its there and I can access it in windows.
[18:53] <usr13> ayrus: Is the screensize wrong for monitor?  Too big?  Too small?
[18:53] <guntbert> user__: when you access this shortcut - are the files you put there from windows (or via vmshared folder) visible?
[18:53] <ayrus> usr13: Its not dectecting the moniter. My moniter is 1440x900 32 bit with a refresh rate of 60hz. Currently its showing arount 1200x700 or something else
[18:53] <usr13> In a terminal type xrandr and hit enter.  Tell us what screen size it is using now and what is avaiable.
[18:54] <ward_> in ubuntu 11.10 there is this option in the wacom control panel to rotate the wacom area 180 degrees, for when you are using a tabletpc
[18:54] <JoshMnem> If anyone from Canonical is reading this, I have to give some constructive feedback: Ubuntu is going in a bad direction.  I'm watching my favorite software get destroyed, and it's very sad.
[18:54] <ward_> but can i also do this from CLI?
[18:54] <user__> guntbert I will test this k
[18:54] <usr13> ayrus: YOu can pastebin the whole output for us to see:   xrandr | pastebinit
[18:54] <ward_> JoshMnem, i fully agree, in case canonical is reading
[18:54] <usr13> and send resulting URL
[18:54] <phiscibe> ayrus: something changeed in xorg or bullet or sumpthin , u need to get both monitors on one X server set in a metamode so that the resolution of both monitors fits inside the big virutal metamode monoitor
[18:55] <phiscibe> i have to manualy add modelines with cvt and xrandr
[18:55] <phiscibe> with nvidia drivers
[18:55] <ayrus> usr13: pastebin is not installed, Going to install. or can provide you in other way?
[18:56] <ward_> JoshMnem, i installed the xubuntu desktop and then changed the panels to look more like gnome2, i'm pretty happy with the result now
[18:56] <phiscibe> i THINK that cause i have a hdtv on on head of the vidieo card and and digital lcd but plugged in to an analog vga it fouls bulletproof from getting correct eddid data about the monitor and it all takes avaction
[18:56] <wiredfool> what's the closest (currently supported) thing that looks/works  like 10.04's netbook launcher?
[18:57] <scarleo> JoshMnem: I don't agree, I think 11.10 is best so far, with Unity
[18:57] <phiscibe> ayrus got to a pastebing website
[18:57] <ayrus> usr13: http://pastebin.com/jjzYbf8V
[18:57] <user__> guntbert- yes till i close the shortcut. I tried closing it then sending something else and opened it but it wasnt there
[18:57] <ActionParsnip> JoshMnem: If you are ranting about Unity and don't like it, switch DE. The OS has been largely unchanged here for a long time, especially in my LXDE sessions
[18:57] <usr13> ayrus: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-sis/+bug/301958
[18:58] <ActionParsnip> JoshMnem: Gnome2 is also being dropped by the Gnome team and Gnome3 will replace it. This is nothing to do with canonical. They are just moving with what is supported.
[18:58] <ayrus> usr13: so what will happen, do I will never use the graphics on my pc with ubuntu?
[18:58] <user__> guntbert- so the shortcut only works once then it won't work again. I have to go back in and create another shortcut and use it once then its broke.
[18:59] <phiscibe> xdisplay
[18:59] <usr13> ayrus: And, let's see, your monitor wants 1440x900  Ok.
[18:59] <phiscibe> ack wrong box to type in
[18:59] <ActionParsnip> JoshMnem: there are plenty of alternatives to gnome and you can run your gnome apps just as well in those as you can in gnome. With all taht said, I fail to see where the issue is.....
[18:59] <Faustus2> how can one delete entires from the right-click nautiuls menu? where you can copy/move/cut files etc
[18:59] <usr13> ayrus: Read the bug report, there may be a work-around / solution.
[18:59] <[sYn]> JoshMnem: My only issue with Unity is the lack of customisation in its current form. It takes getting used to the new interface but in my opinion it works faster than a mouse based interface.. Still, its far to intrusive for me in its current form.
[18:59] <ayrus> usr13: I'm reading that. Thank you.
[19:00] <g0th> how do I check if the upgrade to the latest kubuntu worked properly?
[19:00] <g0th> I did aptitude dist-upgrade
[19:00] <usr13> !301958 | ayrus
[19:00] <phiscibe> goth
[19:00] <usr13> 301958 | ayrus
[19:00] <ActionParsnip> g0th: sudo apt-get -f install      you can check if you are using Oneiric with:  lsb_release -sc
[19:00] <usr13> ayrus: NP
[19:00] <ActionParsnip> g0th: you should then test your hardwares to make sure it all runs
[19:00] <g0th> kde is completely broken
[19:00] <g0th> but from the point of view of apt everything is fine
[19:01] <g0th> lsb_release -sc shows oneiric
[19:01] <phiscibe> g0th: i could not get apt-get dist-upgrade to do a thing...i dont know how, but they have MUZZLE apt and u can only use the gui package manger to launc the dist upgrade
[19:01] <user__> is there an option to create desktop shortcut in ubuntu like there is in windows?
[19:01] <phiscibe> apt just doesnt see it
[19:01] <g0th> gui was broken
[19:01] <g0th> didn't work
[19:01] <user__> is this what make a link is?
[19:01] <JoshMnem> ActionParsnip: This is my 3rd day trying to figure out how to use Ubuntu, after using it for many years. I shouldn't have to waste time looking up things I have to do in the command line just to get basic functionality. There should be a checkbox: I don't want experimental UI crap on my computer because I have work to get done

[19:05] <Somelauw> Any wmii users here?
[19:05] <brontosaurusrex> ActionParsnip, that nounity sentence from ubottu is false imho: 1st gnome shell is even less developed than unity at this point, so makes no sense to suggest that, 2nd gnome-panel is not like gnome 2, so thats useless as well, dont you agree?
[19:05] <recon69_lap> is it normal for ubuntu to cycle through local ip's with ARP 'who has' messages continually

[19:08] <GO1D> Hello can someone please help me? When I try to activate my smaller screen I get http://paste.ubuntu.com/711162/
[19:08] <ronkrt> Hello, just noticed my first problem, i have skype running but i cannot find the icon anyware to display it, i loaded a new skype instance and it said another one is running, i cant find the orginal, I'm in Ubuntu im ganna say i think its Gnome, but its 11.04
[19:08] <AndroidLoverInSF> i'm on 10.10, i formatted a 3TB partition as NTFS with GPT under Windows7. Nautilus can see it automatically and i can access stuff like that. But when I try to mount via fstab, i cant mount and it says "NTFS signature is missing" and wont mount. So if nautilus can mount it, how can I auto mount via fstab? Anything i need to do different than mounting a NTFS partition with MBR?
[19:08] <tobiasbrennvi> upgrading from 11.04 to 11.10 killed my friends useraccount now, she can only login as guest... help or maybe she will use windows oO
[19:08] <hhubby> now there is no xorg(---sorry) in natty
[19:08] <brontosaurusrex> so anyway, the real answer to !nounity is either: 1. get used to it, its not that bad and it will get better 2. switch de to "list of possible des"
[19:09] <ActionParsnip> JoshMnem: fedora is 3rd most popular, it also uses gnome3 but doesn't use unity
[19:09] <AndroidLoverInSF> Or should I repartition it as ntfs from within ubuntu 10.10?  if the main problem is what windows did to partition it?
[19:09] <ActionParsnip> JoshMnem: if that table is anything to go by
[19:09] <ActionParsnip> JoshMnem: fwiw, lucid is still very supported, as is natty
[19:09] <GO1D> Hello can someone please help me? When I try to activate my smaller screen I get http://paste.ubuntu.com/711162/
[19:09] <phiscibe> if u got logon problems, run the commadn  cat /home/user/.dmrc
[19:09] <hhubby> so how to edit xorg when there is no xorg file in natty-----------please help
[19:10] <geoMick> Hi
[19:10] <brontosaurusrex> and 3, use older ubuntu version, latest lts maybe
[19:10] <phiscibe> if it says failsafe, you are booting into a session called failsave that probably has craxy xorg settings, logout make a new session
[19:10] <ActionParsnip> hhubby: if you make one, it will be obeyed
[19:10] <trism> brontosaurusrex: the gnome 3 fallback mode is very similar to gnome 2, you just need to press alt before right-clicking to edit the panel (you can still move panels, resize, change colors, add applets just like gnome 2)
[19:10] <geoMick> My printer has disappeared, can anyone help troubleshoot?
[19:10] <hhubby> please guide
[19:10] <ActionParsnip> geoMick: is it shown in http://localhost:63
[19:10] <phiscibe> also ther is a bug, widely reported, about the new locations of /var /var/run and some other foldrs now beig in a new locatoi
[19:11] <RedWar> Hello all.  Question: I have an Acer Aspire 1410 laptop. It worked perfectly with screen resolution before, but now I canot seem  to get it to work.  It seems to stay stuck at aspect ration of 1024x 768, and will not go beyond. Can anyone help?
[19:11] <JoshMnem> ActionParsnip: I will go back to Lucid then and wait for Ubuntu to get fixed, or switch distros
[19:11] <brontosaurusrex> trism, ok, so there is a secret, the alt :)
[19:11] <brontosaurusrex> i stand corrected then , lmao
[19:11] <phiscibe> this kills prevents dbus loading, Kills X, makes network manger not load and on and on, its on the release nots page
[19:11] <GO1D> Hello can someone please help me? When I try to activate my smaller screen I get http://paste.ubuntu.com/711162/
[19:11] <user__> guntbert that seem to work but when I delete the files I sent using windows it doesn't show them deleted when i open the folder on ubuntu
[19:11] <ActionParsnip> hhubby: if you drop to root recovery mode you can run: X -configure      (the X is capitalised)
[19:11] <xcyclist> Okay, I am back on gnome classic, and my T410 Thinkpad is still having mouse problems, so it appears, just as I thought, that it is more likely a device driver change.
[19:11] <lauratika> anyone?...
[19:11] <ActionParsnip> JoshMnem: could just switch DE....
[19:12] <devish> backspace does not work in chrome/firefox browser in 11.10 any help?
[19:12] <[sYn]> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0LoQFagNIM - This will make me happy, but it doesn't seem to be avaliable yet :(
[19:12] <ActionParsnip> devish: I've seen this on launchpad. There is an extension to readd it, you can use ALT+Left cursor to go back
[19:12] <hhubby> i tried but it tells its getting failed
[19:12] <geoMick> (20:12:23) geoMick: Nope, and If I try to "Find New Printers" it comes up with nothing
[19:12] <geoMick> (20:12:29) geoMick: It used to be there
[19:12] <geoMick> (20:12:36) geoMick: and has worked ok before
[19:13] <RedWar> addendum to my question I am looking to bring screen resolution back to 1366 x 768, but Ubuntu 11.10 updgrade keeps me stuck at the lower resoltion, how can I get my 1366x768 back?
[19:13] <recon69_lap> it normal for ubuntu to cycle through local ip's with ARP 'who has' messages continually ?
[19:13] <AndroidLoverInSF> anyone has the thinkpad w520?
[19:13] <n-iCe> installed, firmware-iwlwif
[19:13] <ActionParsnip> geoMick: does the page load though?
[19:13] <n-iCe> weird I installed my wireless driver fimrware but is not listed in iwconfig, any idea? Intel Corporation WiFi Link 5100 installed, firmware-iwlwifi
[19:13] <geoMick> yes
[19:13] <geoMick> CUPS 1.5.0
[19:13] <JoshMnem> ActionParsnip: I want GNOME... I just want it to work. I want my icons on the bar at top, and all my theme customization settings back. The X (close button) is on the wrong side of the windows.
[19:13] <geoMick> etc
[19:13] <hhubby> btw ,i have trouble with tvtime it tells me :xvoutput: No XVIDEO port found which supports YUY2 images
[19:13] <guntbert> user__: I have the feeling that there is something in the way vmware creates the shared folders (about which I know nothing), but please !pastebin the output of ls -l Desktop/shared  (if you created it like I suggested)
[19:13] <ActionParsnip> JoshMnem: gnome has a new direction now.
[19:14] <devish> ActionParsnip: that works looks even more good;)
[19:14] <[sYn]> devish: its a bit big :P
[19:14] <user__> guntbert what do you mean pastebin?
[19:14] <Bliepo> The network manager does not save my password or the group password for VPN, anyone any idea?
[19:14] <hhubby> anyone can help
[19:14] <JoshMnem> ActionParsnip: to get rid of the ability to easily customize it?
[19:14] <guntbert> !pastebin | user__
[19:14] <user__> guntbert i did what you said and it worked. you are the man
[19:14] <devish> [sYn]: hmm, but there is forward too
[19:14] <ActionParsnip> hhubby: what happens when you run the command?
[19:15] <wavez> is there a simple way to revert to the old window management before 11.04?
[19:15] <guntbert> !yay | user__
[19:15] <ActionParsnip> JoshMnem: I don't know. I've not used gnome for about 3 years now.
[19:15] <hhubby> it tells me that no.of devices doesnt match
[19:15] <phiscibe> GO1D:  xorg is once again on the blink
[19:15] <AndroidLoverInSF> is unity less painful once you already have most of your windows you work with open, and dont need to use it GUI as much?
[19:15] <RedWar> !resolution
[19:15] <hhubby> and reports as failed
[19:15] <ActionParsnip> hhubby: and you ran it in root recovery mode
[19:15] <JoshMnem> ActionParsnip: there are no settings left. Right click doesn't work anymore
[19:16] <ActionParsnip> JoshMnem: the click thing I believe is an issue in Compiz
[19:16] <hhubby> ohh yes
[19:16] <JoshMnem> ActionParsnip: I'm in GNOME (No Effects)
[19:16] <trism> JoshMnem: if you're talking about the gnome panel in oneiric, you need to hold alt before right clicking in gnome 3
[19:16] <geoMick> anything else?
[19:16] <g0bl1n> 11.10 ALT-TAB not as responsive as should be :-(
[19:17] <phiscibe> GO1D: i cant tell what excatly to do, but i can say that resolution aint right, did you have dual monitors?  if might be trying to make one X screen with a large resolution so that both monitors fit in, using panning and meta mode, OR it tired to do this and now on one monitor works
[19:17] <phiscibe> if you are in x you can use xrandr to try to resize it
[19:17] <hhubby> also btw how do i configure line-in for my sound device which is internal
[19:17] <ActionParsnip> g0bl1n: with intel gpu, yes
[19:18] <hwilde> how to disable auto mounting of iphones but still have automounting of other devices, specifically a udev example would be nice
[19:18] <phiscibe> it might be the panning, dont know the x program to set panning, there was an old on, RRsetpaning or something
[19:18] <JoshMnem> trism: thanks...
[19:18] <ActionParsnip> hwilde: you'd need to write a udev rule to ignore the device (perhaps)
[19:18] <phiscibe> RRSetPanning
[19:18] <JoshMnem> trism: What are people thinking? How would anyone figure out that you have to push 'alt' to get right-click to work? This is crazy...
[19:18] <geoMick> any more ideas ActionParsnip ?
[19:18] <n-iCe> any idea?
[19:18] <phiscibe> but, if you can log out of X to a command line, Xorg --configure might fix it
[19:18] <n-iCe> modprobe iwlagn
[19:19] <n-iCe> FATAL: Error inserting iwlagn (/lib/modules/2.6.39-bpo.2-686-pae/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwlagn.ko): Invalid argument
[19:19] <g0bl1n> ActionParsnip, with (non existing drivers) Optimus (dual video) no :-(
[19:19] <hhubby> also btw how do i configure line-in for my sound device which is internal intel 845gvsr mobo
[19:19] <Bliepo> nevermind, fixed it myself
[19:19] <hhubby> no sound in xawtv also please help
[19:20] <Netham47> Anyone know if they fixed KDE for ARM in oneiric?
[19:20] <ActionParsnip> g0bl1n: yeah optimus is a bit of a mess
[19:20] <phiscibe> g0th: there is folder /lib/firmware or something that is supposed to contain firmware files for your card, look and see if they  are there, jsut one idea  to try in your journey
[19:20] <hwilde> ActionParsnip, yes that is why I asked for a udev example in my question.
[19:20] <g0bl1n> ActionParsnip, only if I know before buying this.... and the battery drains :-(
[19:20] <Travis-42> I'm running a script that creates a number of symbolic links and I get the error "cannot allocate memory" Any ideas why?
[19:21] <ejv> are you out of memory?
[19:21] <phiscibe> hhubby: you might have luck running alsamixer in terminal, you have to use the keyboard arrow keys to navigate, arrow over to the line in hit M  on keyboard ot toggle mute
[19:21] <julio33> Hello, did you know if the Nvidia gt 440 run nice on linux?
[19:21] <Travis-42> ejv, not even close
[19:21] <Gentoo64> julio33: should do
[19:21] <phiscibe> if that dont work mabye delte the folder .pulse
[19:21] <trism> JoshMnem: gnome 3 is very into the alt key for some reason, in gnome-shell you need to hold alt to show the power off option (without an extension), kind of strange, I agree
[19:21] <ejv> are your memory defective, memory slots, etc.
[19:21] <ActionParsnip> hwilde: gotcha
[19:21] <genii-around> Travis-42: Perhaps you accidentally created a forkbomb
[19:22] <shintaku> on natty and i get no packages for the following:  sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-jdk
[19:22] <julio33> Gentoo64: I'm a little bit afraid, because I find problems in forums with almost any graphic card, I wanna buy something to have no problems
[19:22] <Travis-42> ejv, I don't notice any problems with anything else
[19:22] <alexxio> hi, i think something is wrong with my google account or so
[19:22] <ActionParsnip> hwilde: http://siliconbased.wordpress.com/2009/03/03/ignoring-devices-with-udev-rules/
[19:22] <hwilde> ActionParsnip, ...
[19:22] <JoshMnem> trism: Unity and GNOME 3 are disasters for Linux. This is unusable...
[19:23] <Travis-42> genii-around, I'm using find -exec and calling a separate script in exec that creates the symbolic link. but I don't think find -exec  forks the process
[19:23] <alexxio> when watching some youtube videos, on the right of the page i have an annoying spot that autostarts and links to various crap
[19:23] <ActionParsnip> JoshMnem: some users are enjoying it
[19:23] <Gentoo64> julio33: i use the 460 and it works fine
[19:23] <Gentoo64> julio33: most nvidia cards work fine
[19:23] <julio33> Gentoo64 The bigger the number, the better the card? or it's like nokia cellphones and don't have any order?
[19:23] <JoshMnem> ActionParsnip: I'm sure some are. Overall, it's going to destroy Ubuntu. At least have a simple button to turn it off.
[19:23] <phiscibe> they work but with some gotcha's (nvida)
[19:23] <Gentoo64> julio33: thr 4 is the series and the higher the number the better.
[19:23] <ActionParsnip> JoshMnem: we'llsee
[19:24] <guntbert> Travis-42: try with find  -ls   first, to see which files are found
[19:24] <Gentoo64> julio33: a 480 is a lot better than a 460 etc
[19:24] <Netham47> ActionParsnip, does Unity still require accelleration?
[19:24] <kernelpanicker> where does one hunt for usb drives that, when attached, don't appear in /dev/ ?
[19:24] <phiscibe> if u got mixed cabling in analog and digital it fouls x's eddid retrevial, the you in add modeling cirus
[19:24] <julio33> Gentoo64: Is important the maker of the card? I mean, here I can but gigabyte, but the chipset is nvidia, does it matters?
[19:24] <julio33> buy*
[19:24] <ActionParsnip> Netham47: unity, yes. Unity2D no
[19:24] <Netham47> Any knowledge of ARM support for it?
[19:24] <Gentoo64> julio33: no it doesnt matter at all. theyre just the brands. they might have default overclocked it etc but theyre all the same basically
[19:25] <julio33> phiscibe is there any card that on linux don't have any issues?
[19:25] <JoshMnem> ActionParsnip: you can already see it by the sudden growth in other distros. I think the article was in PC World or cnet.
[19:25] <Gentoo64> julio33: and the different brands looks different, have better/worse coolers
[19:25] <phiscibe> the cards are find, a peiced of metal and sand
[19:25] <phiscibe> but not X
[19:25] <Gentoo64> julio33: but if you're not going to overclock it it dont matter
[19:25] <ActionParsnip> JoshMnem: as long as users are enjoying Linux I'm not too fussed
[19:25] <shen_> what?
[19:25] <Travis-42> guntbert, it's returning the correct files as far as I can see
[19:25] <phiscibe> i can chart my lifes happiness on a graph compared to how many times i have opened xorg.conf
[19:25] <Jordan_U> kernelpanicker: Do you see anything in dmesg when it's inserted?
[19:26] <ActionParsnip> PhilSliderS: gnumeric can help
[19:26] <julio33> Gentoo64: So I think I could go for the gt 400
[19:26] <Travis-42> genii-around, actually, -exec {} does fork a child process for every file, so maybe that is related
[19:26] <Gentoo64> julio33: its up to you. if you dont play games then go for any card
[19:26] <PhilSliderS> ?
[19:26] <guntbert> Travis-42: and what are you trying to do with them (the -exec part) ?
[19:26] <Jordan_U> !ot | phiscibe
[19:27] <Netham47> Also, ActionParsnip, the ARM images appear to be entire SD card images (partition table and all) designed for a limited number of devices. Having them just being partition images, or even better as tarballs, would widen the usable market for them.
[19:27] <PhilSliderS> WTF is ActionParsnip?
[19:27] <Travis-42> guntbert, I'm creating symlinks to each one with a random file name
[19:27] <shen_> is this a chat room.
[19:27] <Netham47> PhilSliderS, I'm assuming he's some guy who has some influence on ubuntu.
[19:27] <Netham47> shen_, yes, this is.
[19:27] <Pici> shen_: this is a support channel. General chat in #ubuntu-offtopic
[19:27] <ActionParsnip> PhilSliderS: just a user and ubuntu member
[19:27] <phiscibe> so give me support not rudeness to natural reaction to frustration practice what you get your bot to speak
 PhilSliderS: gnumeric can help < ?
[19:27] <julio33> Gentoo64: I'm programming on processing with OPENGL and I need the speed for that : )
[19:27] <PhilSliderS> wrong HL?
[19:27] <guntbert> Travis-42: my advice: try it in a separate folder with just one file to find...
[19:28] <Gentoo64> julio33: well the 440 is better than a gt400 (if thats even a card)
[19:28] <shen_> Pici, how to enter offtopic
[19:28] <Pici> shen_: type: /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[19:28] <julio33> Gentoo64: Haha, thanks, so in your experience your card works just fine right?
[19:28] <Travis-42> guntbert, it works for many of the files (and if there is only one file), the error occurs only intermittently throughout the script
[19:28] <hittt> E: Package 'gnome-shell' has no installation candidate <-- thank you, ubuntu
[19:28] <julio33> Gentoo64: Or have some little issues?
[19:28] <iceroot> hittt: 11.10?
[19:28] <Gentoo64> julio33: yea ive never had any issues with the 460 and prop nvidia driver
[19:29] <hittt> 11.04
[19:29] <iceroot> hittt: there is no gnome-shell in 11.04
[19:29] <ActionParsnip> PhilSliderS: you wanted to chart something, gnumeric is a spreadsheet app you can create the chart with
[19:29] <[sYn]> So does anyone know if the following is avaliable anywhere (Unity beta/Daily build or something?): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0LoQFagNIM ?
[19:29] <hittt> oh so im stuck using this desktop manager that insults my intelligence
[19:29] <hittt> great!
[19:29] <PhilSliderS> oO
[19:29] <hittt> actually im gonna try logging out
[19:29] <iceroot> hittt: in 11.04 there is kde4, gnome2, unity, lxde, xfce4
[19:29] <Travis-42> guntbert, I think the problem is that find -exec is simply running this script too much in parallel
[19:29] <lauratika> is it possible to change nautilus look of left pannel  in 11.10 back to it was?... this means showing devices and bookmarks on the same column
[19:29] <guntbert> Travis-42: those are the difficult ones :-)  I guess there might be some sort of create-loop involved
[19:30] <dD0T> Hi. I'm wondering whether the alt-tab behavior in unity can be modified in any way. It works very poorly for me if I have multiple console windows open because it neither shows you where the window is you are trying to open nor is the small previous very helpful in figuring out which exact conso[D[D[D[D[D[D[D[D[D[D[D[Dle window you are selecting. Thanks.
[19:30] <hittt> sweet jesus, it worked
[19:30] <[sYn]> dD0t: press down to view a preview, or wait a while hovered over the window..
[19:31] <dD0T> [sYn]: That one I already discovered. Still differentiation between the windows is very hard. Also it's pretty slow and cumbersome to be honest.
[19:31] <usr13> dD0T: If you have multiple console sessions, use Ctrl-ALt-F6 Ctrl-Alt-F5 etc....
[19:31] <hittt> iceroot: thank god i could disable the stupid layout with a drop down menu
[19:32] <PhilSliderS> it was phiscibe, not me ^^
[19:32] <PhilSliderS> so I was wondering why you HL me ^^
[19:32] <dD0T> usr13: Well. I still want to use the desktop ;-)
[19:33] <me2resh> Hi, I am trying to setup atp-cacher, but my apt-get failed to update after, anyone can help ?
[19:33] <alexxio> hi
[19:33] <alexxio> i think i've been hijacked
[19:33] <alexxio> can you please help me undestand?
[19:34] <Gentoo64> alexxio: why
[19:34] <kernelpanicker> Jordan_U: I'm actually not trying it now, but what should I grep for in dmesg in general?
[19:34] <alexxio> i'm on a simple youtube video page
[19:34] <Gentoo64> alexxio: check /var/log/auth.log
[19:34] <alexxio> on the right of the window, a spam video appears (inside the page, embedded)
[19:34] <me2resh> anyone can help with apt-cacher ?
[19:34] <lauratika> anyone please?
[19:34] <hittt> disabling the ridiculous new terminal... and YEP
[19:34] <hittt> back to a usable ubuntu installation
[19:35] <alexxio> and under that little squared embedded video, i can see the related
[19:35] <dD0T> I'd be fine with a windows 7 like task switcher. Is there such a thing for unity?
[19:35] <Gentoo64> alexxio: whats the url? normal youtube? its prob just an ad
[19:35] <Pici> !enter | alexxio
[19:35] <alexxio> yes it's like an ad but i donìt know if it is right to be there
[19:35] <Jordan_U> kernelpanicker: See if any new lines appear immediately after you plug in the device.
[19:35] <Gentoo64> alexxio: maybe its flash bugged up or something
[19:36] <carli2> alexxio: this is a XSS problem and you should contact your browser support or the page owner
[19:36] <compdoc> is it possible to run gnome2 on 11.10?
[19:36] <alexxio> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2MmDsXFyEk&feature=feedrec_grec_index
[19:36] <Gentoo64> compdoc: i dont think so
[19:36] <hhubby> hi -tell me how to redirect output to text file
[19:36] <alexxio> but every youtube video has this
[19:36] <alexxio> the fact is that this happens with linux and windows
[19:37] <Gentoo64> compdoc: i think mint uses gnome 2, or use older ubuntu maybe
[19:37] <carli2> alexxio: what do you see what shouldnt be there?
[19:37] <alexxio> an ad
[19:37] <ActionParsnip> compdoc: there is a fork of gnome2 called mate, or you can compile the Gnome2 source if you want.
[19:37] <alexxio> but it's strage
[19:37] <carli2> alexxio: did you try an other browser?
[19:37] <Jordan_U> !notunity | compdoc
[19:38] <carli2> alexxio: youtube uses ads to earn money. what is strange with that?
[19:38] <compdoc> thnx
[19:38] <alexxio> that this ads starts at loud volume, disturbing the other videos
[19:38] <alexxio> and starts suddenly...for a bunch of seconds
[19:39] <Gentoo64> compdoc: a lot more peple are using xfce now as its maintaned and a bit similar to gnome 2
[19:39] <carli2> alexxio: try elinks browser, it dosent show these ads
[19:39] <shaiang> why i cant join ##php
[19:39] <alexxio> i never noticed that...now i think there's something wrong
[19:39] <Pici> shaiang: Because you need to be registered and identified.
[19:39] <Pici> !register | shaiang
[19:39] <shaiang> ?
[19:39] <alexxio> :( dunnno
[19:40] <hittt> how do i disable this unpractical scroll bar?
[19:40] <nocilis> Banshee is crashing for me, this is what I get when running from terminal: http://pastebin.com/9dNtBCcS
[19:40] <Gentoo64> shaiang: idk i can join it..

[19:40] <Pici> shaiang: Read ubottus' message about registering.
[19:40] <airells> hi, i just want to say thank you for ubuntu's developers.  Now i see how gnome-shell stayed back (nothing really new in last few years). I wish that will be a good push for gnome-shell to faster development
[19:40] <nocilis> I've already tried apt-get purging, cleaning, and reinstalling
[19:40] <nocilis> anyone have any ideas about this?
[19:40] <Pici> hittt: uninstall the overlay-scrollbars package (or was it scrollbar-overlay>)
[19:41] <carli2> the problem that i have with unity is that it's too slow for daily use. but wayland can change this
[19:41] <compdoc> Gentoo64, I run Ubuntu 11.04 desktop on several headless servers. And I cant get vncserver to work right with Unity. If I could get something like gnome2 running, I'd be able to switch to 11.10. If I cant run vnc4server, the 11.10 is useless to me
[19:41] <Gentoo64> compdoc: try xubuntu 11.10
[19:42] <Gentoo64> has no unity ofc
[19:42] <nocilis> it was running fine until I tried changing the layout, then it went unresponsive and crashed, so I killed the process. now it won't start again
[19:42] <xrdodrx> carli2, I doubt wayland will do anything to change that as you'll be running X compatibility mode on top of it most of the time, but that's a story for another day ;-)
[19:42] <carli2> xrdodrx: when i hit the windows key, there is a huge delay after the dock window shows up
[19:42] <devish> when i am giving make install for nmap it says "make: *** No rule to make target `libnetutil/libnetutil.a', needed by `nmap'.  Stop."
[19:43] <xrdodrx> carli2, what are the specs of your computer?
[19:43] <devish> what is this
[19:43] <saetta> ciao
[19:43] <Pici> devish: nmap is in the repositories, you shouldn't need to compile it yourself.
[19:43] <saetta> italika
[19:43] <Gentoo64> devish: did you do ./configure make make install?
[19:43] <ActionParsnip> devish: nmap is in the repos, why not use that?

[19:43] <Andrew131> Is there a known problem with the zeitgeist-daemon after an upgrade to 11.10?
[19:43] <devish> Pici Gentoo64  for the latest
[19:44] <carli2> xrdodrx: but i'm happy with awesome window manager (if there werent those bugs from ubuntu)
[19:44] <Houssem> Hello, I'm searching an application that backup all my system before upgrading to 11.10 (if I want to get back the 11.04)
[19:44] <Andrew131> Ive got it taking up all my free ram
[19:44] <devish> Gentoo64: yes i did ./configure successfully
[19:44] <xrdodrx> carli2, now you're just being silly.
[19:44] <Gentoo64> devish: hmm idk i compiled 5.9 other day fine

[19:45] <enapupe_> Hi, I'm trying to configure ubuntu to access my other windows computer, following some tutorials found on google but this unity isn't helping on the step by step.. can anyone recommend an easy tutorial?
[19:45] <ActionParsnip> devish: what is in the new one you need?
[19:45] <xrdodrx> carli2, There is no way you're running Unity on a Phenom II, and I seriously hope you're not expecting it to perform at all on 15+ year old hardware...
[19:45] <Gentoo64> ActionParsnip: has loads of new stuff
[19:46] <iceroot> !samba | enapupe_
[19:46] <hittt> pici: overlay-scrollbar is already the newest version.
[19:46] <devish> ActionParsnip: but compiling should also not be aissue
[19:46] <hittt> Maybe you lost a step? ^^
[19:46] <devish> *issue
[19:46] <carli2> xrdodrx: do you know what a pgenom II is? did youn ever hear of AMD=
[19:46] <ActionParsnip> devish: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[19:46] <Andrew131> Any known problems with the Zeitgeist dameon taking up all your ram after 11.10 upgrade?
[19:46] <ActionParsnip> devish: not an issue, trying to save time and effort
[19:47] <RedWar> !xorg.conf
[19:47] <xrdodrx> carli2, LOL, oh god, I'm sorry :P I thought you said "Pentium II"
[19:47] <Pici> hittt: remove it. Not install it. That will get rid of the weird scrollbars, which is what you wanted, right?
[19:47] <ActionParsnip> devish: i may be able to find you a ppa
[19:47] <xrdodrx> ignore me, 3 hrs sleep last night ._.
[19:47] <carli2> xrdodrx: you're silly
[19:47] <xrdodrx> carli2, I'm the silly one, that's for sure :(
[19:47] <Houssem> 11.10 have problems with ATI cards ?
[19:47] <hittt> Pici: oh! i thought i should install it!
[19:47] <devish> ActionParsnip: that will be good but i want to give one more try
[19:48] <RedWar> Hey all, did we have an xorg.conf file for 11.04 originally?  or was that not put in?
[19:48] <Gentoo64> devish try again
[19:48] <newjoe> I installed gnome-shell from the app store, and restarted selecting gnome from the gear menu. Gnome 3.2 does not appear to be properly installed. How do I fix it?
[19:48] <nocilis> going to try a reboot
[19:48] <devish> ActionParsnip: oneiric
[19:48] <ActionParsnip> devish: I found a PPA for natty at 5.51
[19:48] <h00k> newjoe: Gnome 3.2 is installed by default on 11.10, what version of Ubuntu are you on?
[19:48] <ActionParsnip> devish: ah, i'll keep digging
[19:48] <newjoe> 11.10
[19:49] <RedWar> I am looking at a reinstall tonight, becauseI think the main problem has to do with a bad upgrade for 11.10. I had muliple xfce clients, and I may have failed to disable Compiz before performing the upgrade.
[19:49] <carli2> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/863878 <- annoying bug
[19:49] <Houssem> 11.10 have problems with ATI cards ?
[19:49] <RedWar> The listing in that Ubotu showed helps with the resolution, but I  currently have no control over sound or brightness now.

[19:54] <Apple5> i cant download with transmission
[19:55] <Apple5> even though am connected internet. I think is port or something maybe
[19:55] <brontosaurusrex> benoliver999, add shortcut?
[19:55] <luca__> My printer is Hp Laserjet P 1102 on ubuntu 11.04 there weren't problems
[19:55] <benoliver999> brontosaurusrex: Yeag
[19:55] <Gentoo64> Apple5: ufw enable the port, and also on the router (if your not using dhcp and pnp)
[19:55] <Apple5> how do i do that
[19:55] <syntac> is it possible to have a chrooted shell connection?
[19:55] <Gentoo64> Apple5: do you use a router?
[19:55] <m_bisson> Hi
[19:55] <Apple5> i dont know i think so :/
[19:55] <Apple5> it was working earlier
[19:55] <Gentoo64> Apple5: ugh youll have to google it
[19:56] <Gentoo64> Apple5: transmission has a port checker use it see if its open
[19:56] <Apple5> there are a million ports and most are closed
[19:56] <Gentoo64> Apple5: but transmisison will check the one its using, to see if its open
[19:56] <m_bisson> I have a dual boot with win7 and I can't select safe mode during start up. Seems like the dual boot is interfering. Any ideas on how to get the windows boot menu to show?
[19:56] <Gentoo64> it should still work somewhat even with a closed port
[19:56] <luca__> I don't know what is the host
[19:57] <Apple5> there is like 10000 ports
[19:57] <bozo> hello everyone! I just installed Ubuntu 11.10 and have serious trouble with the wireless connection. I have disabled ipv6 and changed power options
[19:57] <Andrew131> is the zeitgist dameon using all the free ram a known issue in 11.10?
[19:57] <Gentoo64> Apple5: edit, preferences, network, test port
[19:57] <Apple5> yes but there are 10000
[19:57] <Apple5> which are open default

[19:58] <Gentoo64> shold say open or closed
[19:58] <Apple5> yea i said is closed
[19:58] <racho> m_bisson, did you try selecting windows and pressing f8??
[19:58] <Travis-42> whenever I write to a file, it disappears from the file system for about a second before reappearing. is that normal?
[19:58] <Gentoo64> ie the port thats in use
[19:58] <Gentoo64> Apple5: do you have upnp checked, and random port?
[19:58] <m_bisson> racho: oh yeah I was hammering on f8
[19:58] <Duelisti> The only big problem I have with it is that I'm not able to change the visual effects from 'none' to 'normal' or 'extra'.

[20:03] <Max00355> hey all!
[20:03] <devish> how to add ppa when i add it gives me a 404
[20:03] <Gentoo64> devish: you cant
[20:03] <Gentoo64> devish: i thought you compild it?
[20:03] <Zeike> The permissions on /var/run/mpd reset everytime I reboot, anybody know how to prevent that?
[20:04] <fritsch> Zeike: add chown mpd:mpd /var/run/mpd to /etc/rc.local
[20:04] <fritsch> Zeike: but rather file a bug
[20:04] <VCoolio> Andrew131: you want to disable this session or future also?
[20:04] <usr13> devish: 404 means it is an error, not there, server is down, etc.  not much you can do about it, if the URL is correct, you just have to wait until the server is repaired.
[20:04] <wulf`> im trying to install ubuntu using wubi! Ive the ISO downloaded but it starts downloading it instead of using the ISO. (11.10)
[20:04] <Zeike> fritsch: but do you know what's resetting the permissions each boot?
[20:04] <bsmith093> ok uve probably gotten 1000 of these today, but is it worth upgrading to this from lucid

[20:05] <Gentoo64> devish: if its popular and 404 try it later maybe
[20:05] <usr13> bsmith093: That is entirely up to the individual.
[20:05] <fritsch> Zeike: how do you hange the permissions after you booted?
[20:05] <wulf`> im trying to install ubuntu using wubi! Ive the ISO downloaded but it starts downloading it instead of using the ISO. (11.10)
[20:05] <devish> Gentoo64: they are keeping there the compiled software i think
[20:05] <VCoolio> Andrew131: ok, if you want it gone, edit or remove /etc/xdg/autostart/zeistgeist-datahub.desktop
