[00:00] <ActionParsnip> jorge: if you also run:   alsamixer    are all levels cranked and unmuted
[00:00] <DarkStar11> ActionParsnip: thx
[00:00] <jorge> ActionParsnip: Yep I already checked that, and it's all fine
[00:01] <niksoft> urlin2u, any ideas as to avenues to pursue?
[00:02] <urlin2u> niksoft, I wouldn't even know to be honest.
[00:02] <resus> that didn't help me
[00:02] <resus> i don't know where to install grub
[00:02] <niksoft> sigh, i'll kick around some channels in a bit then, see if i can catch some server or kernel guys
[00:03] <Jordan_U> resus: Follow this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#ChRoot
[00:03] <urlin2u> resus, in the mbr generally, can you run this script and pastebin the results.txt.  http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/
[00:04] <urlin2u> resus,  check the link Jordan_U gave first though that may do it
[00:05] <resus> http://pastebin.com/B4kvu8NC
[00:06] <resus> so this is what the system is supposed to look like
[00:06] <resus> this boots
[00:06] <resus> can you tell me where exactly is grub supposed to be installed from this output?
[00:07] <resus> there is /boot on /dev/sda2
[00:07] <resus> and /boot/efi on /dev/sda1
[00:09] <urlin2u> resus, pesonally I'm not familiar with efi, or lvm sorry
[00:09] <resus> it clearly says no bootloader is installed in the MBR of /dev/sda
[00:23] <Kezryk> Can someone tell me why i can't login on Kubuntu disto 11.10
[00:25] <Kezryk> omg this sucks
[00:26] <urlin2u> Kezryk, you need to give some details.
[00:26] <reflian> fuck
[00:27] <daemon> hey I run a throw off from ubuntu (backtrack linux 5 rc1, which is really Ubuntu Lucid LTS.
[00:27] <pangolin> !language | reflian
[00:27] <daemon> is there anyway to install anything like FreeBSD's ALTQ/PF
[00:27] <aBound> Hey does anybody know how I can check which printers are supported for Ubuntu?
[00:27] <Kezryk> I am installing Kubuntu for the first time i set all passwords on installation but it wont let me log in
[00:27] <daemon> for limiting throughput through links and sharing bandwidth fairly
[00:28] <urlin2u> daemon, this is ubuntu support.
[00:28] <daemon> urlin2u, indeed
[00:29] <urlin2u> !backtrack > daemon
[00:29] <daemon> ah ty
[00:31] <acerimmer> !backtrack|daemon
[00:31] <OerHeks> aBound, check openprinting.org
[00:32] <Kezryk> ??
[00:32] <aBound> OerHeks, I don't know if you know this but I have a wifi printer do you know if I would have to connect remotely or just by connecting the laptop to the printer and it'll work.
[00:33] <almoxarife> Kezryk: ask the question in #kubuntu
[00:34] <OerHeks> aBound, i don't know either with no info of what printer
[00:35] <aBound> OerHeks, It's a lexmark but a wireless lexmark I was just curious as in. If it needed to be connected remotely for the wireless printer to work.  I'll figure it out I found https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers
[00:36] <OerHeks> aBound, lexmark produces more than one model.. be more specific plz.
[00:36] <aBound> OerHeks, I'll have to go check the name of it real quick.
[00:37] <aBound> Been to lazy to try to see if the driver is in the kernel.
[00:38] <aBound> OerHeks, Lexmark Pinnacle Pro 901.
[00:38] <TheHumanScience> im a newbie to xchat. how can i find out how to install the latest version of firefox?
[00:38] <aBound> TheHumanScience, Which version of Ubuntu are you using?
[00:39] <angela-> hij all an enyone tell me why i dont have access to ngircd.conf its sets that i dont have anove prioritie
[00:39] <scarleo> TheHumanScience, http://www.mozilla.org/
[00:40] <angela-> meens olso that i bin removete of the sudo list
[00:40] <TheHumanScience> 10.04
[00:41] <TheHumanScience> Lucid
[00:41] <aBound> scarleo, That gives him the source he'll have to compile it that way.
[00:41] <aBound> TheHumanScience, I notice 9.0.1. is known to crash but you'll have to add a PPA to update firefox.
[00:42] <aBound> TheHumanScience, sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable; sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[00:42] <aBound> TheHumanScience, Make sure the semicolon isn't in the command.
[00:42] <jaysen> Does anyone know why the new gnome 3 Documents Application (mentioned in http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/3.2/) is not in ubuntu 11.10 running gnome 3.2.1?
[00:43] <TheHumanScience> I added the ppa
[00:45] <aBound> TheHumanScience, You have to execute the other two commands in the terminal. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[00:46] <aBound> TheHumanScience, Make sure firefox is closed and if it doesn't upgrade firefox use the command: sudo apt-get install firefox

[00:55] <PhireB0mb3r> What is the web app for the help.ubuntu.com site?
[00:55] <CT1> Hi all.  Is there a package (or a feature in audacity) that plays a certain tone... changeable (subtly) via a GUI slider?  I'm interested in finding out the frequency of the (yes, I may be "mental") constant buzz/hum I hear.  It's essential in deciding if I should be "committed" or if the tone is related to UK AC frequency and its harmonics.
[00:56] <genesisbot> Hello everyone
[00:56] <genesisbot> lol CTI
[00:56] <genesisbot> CT1*
[00:57] <blackbox> Anybody know of software that allows you to use your GPS on your computer instead of just in your car.... I.e best software to locate stuff ...etc
[00:58] <blackbox> I am on a linux distro like ubuntu , kubuntu , or wattos
[01:00] <Rayston> you can pirate the official garmin software and run it through VirtualBox
[01:00] <Rayston> kinda a pain
[01:00] <alien2050> CT1: have a look at ladspa, there's a lot of plugins available and one is a tone generator
[01:01] <CT1> genesisbot: Thankfully the humorous side of my question was duly noted.  The subtle hint of it being a real question was perhaps lost in it's "insanity"
[01:02] <genesisbot> CT1: not at all i just thought how you asked was funny
[01:02] <orlok> heh tone generators
[01:03] <TheHumanScience> thanks abound
[01:03] <urlin2u> 440=A
[01:03] <orlok> CT1: got a spectrum analyser?
[01:03] <orlok> CT1: on my phone, i have Audelicious
[01:04] <orlok> CT1: its for Maemo only though
[01:04] <orlok> CT1: i know Winamp used to be able to play tones as well
[01:05] <CT1> alien2050: audacity has a tone generator, but (I assume is the same case with ladspa) generates constant tones you choose.  I want a "slider" to pick. yes I have perfect pitch, but it's "relatively perfect" :p
[01:05] <hellfire> Hello, I am trying to do a fresh install of ubuntu. When I click to install I just get a black screen with a blinking line...I am new to this all, what do I do?
[01:06] <alien2050> CT1: you want to pick the frequency ? with a slider ? Check out puredata, it should be what you're looking for
[01:06] <urlin2u> !nomodeset > hellfire
[01:07] <genesisbot> CT1: the sound your hear is the tiny hairs in your ear vibrating or repairing them selfs
[01:08] <orlok> CT1: freshmeat has a few hits but none of them mention a slider
[01:08] <CT1> genesisbot: They must be doing very well at that.  Nose hairs too.  Still no closer to my goal.
[01:09] <genesisbot> CT1: do you have an iphone cause i have an app that allows you to slide a ringer it starts quite and end a very annoying loud ring
[01:10] <TheHumanScience>  i got firefox 9.0.1 installed on 10.04 Lucid, but those ugly arrows (the back and forward) on the browser still look generic. anybody know how to make them look they are supposed to?
[01:11] <hellfire> urlin2u I just tried nomodeset and the same thing happened.
[01:11] <tawm_afk> TheHumanScience: have you played around with the firefox plugins and skins?
[01:12] <CT1> genesisbot: Amplitude isn't what I'm after.  I want to slowly and audibly adjust frequency to find what that buzzing might be
[01:12] <urlin2u> hellfire, you might try the alternate cd install it is a text install
[01:12] <orlok> CT1: you could learn python :)
[01:12] <TheHumanScience> yes, but nothing
[01:12] <orlok> CT1: use a pygame slider or buttons to adjust.. something..
[01:12] <Zahrada> Say
[01:13] <Zahrada> is there any aiming date for wayland?
[01:13] <ohHaiImTawm> TheHumanScience: is there a reason you need to stay on 10.04?
[01:14] <funnyfingers> anyone know how to get sed to overwrite a file with the output redirect?  I get a blank file if the file exists but it works fine to a new file.
[01:14] <funnyfingers> ah I think I understand why:)
[01:14] <funnyfingers> lol
[01:14] <alien2050> Q: is there a way to "pin" a program to a specific spot on the desktop and ensure it never moves even if child programs try to create new windows, or if the program exits and starts again? something like wmctrl but that would ensure the window of a certain app is "frozen"... wondering
[01:14] <Tophage> I'm new to irc, where would one find help with ubuntu?
[01:14] <TheHumanScience> yea, it seems the most stable. don't like the interface of Natty, and Meekrat was buggy
[01:15] <hellfire> urlin2u: 7th time is a charm, I got it.
[01:16] <Zahrada> Don't mind me, I only asked a question :P
[01:16] <Zahrada> Actually, don't mind me. I had a few..
[01:16] <jason2007> quick question, how do i change asclock themes?
[01:16] <PhireB0mb3r> What is the help.ubuntu.com site CMS?
[01:17] <fancybone> Has anyone ever managed to install bip on Ubuntu 10.04?
[01:17] <Wargasm> Tophage this is the place, whats your question
[01:17] <ohHaiImTawm> TheHumanScience: http://askubuntu.com/questions/87279/why-doesnt-firefox-obey-my-icon-theme
[01:18] <ohHaiImTawm> may be the firefox application icon
[01:18] <ohHaiImTawm> but may give you some leads on where to go
[01:18] <fancybone> alternatively, I see that it's avialable as part of aptitude on 10.10, but I have no idea how to add it to my 10.04 distro
[01:19] <CT1> orlok:  GENIUS! I know substantial python and limited pygame. Off to uncover the bane of my existence, the endless, harrowing...[insert some other words I'd use if I still had M$ word's "synonyms" here]  No ready made remedy?  Python it shall be.  Farewell to you all.
[01:19] <orlok> CT1 : Wow.. i was actually joking!
[01:20] <orlok> CT1: I use it to control hardware..
[01:20] <orlok> CT1: You could start playing with arduino gear too
[01:20] <genesisbot> orlok CT1 is just being a big baby
[01:21] <Wargasm> !ask | Tophage
[01:21] <Wargasm> close enough
[01:21] <star-one> hi
[01:22] <CT1> orlok:  I'll do the arduino thing when I need to sync returning home with turning on the heating :p
[01:22] <orlok> CT1: just that it would let you have a physical, battery powered tone generator, with physical knobs/sliders to control it
[01:24] <fancybone> or, okay, let's settle for disabling the "warnings as errors" when running ./configure
[01:24] <fancybone> because --disable-Werror just says "configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --disable-Werror
[01:25] <Tophage> I've had a program in the Get Software Center stuck at "applying changes" for about half an hour without it moving a bit and it has no 'x' button to cancel anymore. Any suggestions?
[01:28] <CT1> orlok: Not that I'm a stranger to soldering, but I'd prefer a software (preferably written by someone else) approach.  The humming/buzzing ceases not.
[01:28] <orlok> CT1: got a spectrum/frequency analyser?
[01:28] <orlok> CT1: i know my phone has one.. doesnt help you though :)
[01:29] <genesisbot> i said that already
[01:29] <Wargasm> Tophage I'm going to try to help you but I don't know how well it will work
[01:29] <tucemiux> anyone know of a lotus notes client for windows that is free?
[01:30] <Wargasm> Tophage I've never done it myself
[01:30] <tucemiux> war - youre the nuub that i've camped in UrT?
[01:30] <Wargasm> tucemiux ???
[01:30] <tucemiux> war if you dont know what im talking about they nevermind
[01:31] <bazhang> !ot | tucemiux
[01:31] <CT1> orlok: I have CoolEdit in my XP virtual machine. I assume audacity has similar (if not more features).  Hardware-wise? nothing!  I donated all my hardware when I left the country
[01:31] <tucemiux> THEN nevermind
[01:31] <tucemiux> bazhang, you know of a lotus notes client for windows that is free?
[01:31] <bazhang> tucemiux, ##windows for windows issues. chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:31] <tucemiux> bazhang, you know of a lotus notes client for ubuntu that is free o.O
[01:32] <tucemiux> i meant to say ubuntu
[01:32] <Wargasm> lol
[01:33] <Wargasm> Tophage you still there?
[01:34] <tucemiux> ok well im headed to the zombie server, lata
[01:38] <Wargasm> well at least I learned how to use the command
[01:38] <ohHaiImTawm> I'm having issues with setting up slapd 2.4.25-1.1 the current openldap server package for 11.10. when I apt-get the package it doesn't drop a default .conf file in /etc/ldap/ and it doesn't write anything to /usr/local/ (sub)dirs. it does give me a man page
[01:43] <ChristianK201> Dear all, I'm new to ubuntu. I'm trying to install Anki from http://ankisrs.net/#linux . What do I do with the .tgz file once I downloaded the file?
[01:44] <Rukoroz> hi, im running a 64-bits live cd, and im getting alot of disk errors, i have already installed ubuntu, but i cannot even run it,
[01:44] <trism> ChristianK201: anki is in the repo, sudo apt-get install anki;
[01:44] <Rukoroz> aand, im trying to check and fix the HDD, but i can't, im stuck at gparted and i keep getting these disk messages on console....
[01:44] <ohHaiImTawm> Rukoroz: can you post the errors?
[01:44] <MadHaTTrr> How would I go about upgrading GRUB 1.98 to 1.99?
[01:45] <Rukoroz> umm
[01:45] <Rukoroz> how?
[01:45] <Rukoroz> lol
[01:45] <Rukoroz> is infinite...
[01:45] <MadHaTTrr> testdisk
[01:45] <Rukoroz> and always the same
[01:45] <Rukoroz> ohHaiImTawm: how?
[01:45] <MadHaTTrr> "sudo apt-get install testdisk"
[01:45] <Rukoroz> MadHaTTrr: wat?? -.-
[01:46] <ohHaiImTawm> at the command line type MadHaTTrr's command
[01:46] <MadHaTTrr> testdisk scans disc(s) for errors and fixes them (if possible)
[01:46] <Rukoroz> ok :)
[01:46] <Rukoroz> wait, but, how ican scan if gparted is stuck and i keep getting these messages in console??
[01:46] <ohHaiImTawm> it it spits back errors you don't understand you can copy/paste them in the channel or if there are tons drop em in pastebin http://pastebin.com/
[01:46] <Rukoroz> and umm,  smart says that i have 66 bad clusters
[01:47] <Rukoroz> yes
[01:47] <ohHaiImTawm> ctrl+c will stop the gparted command
[01:47] <MadHaTTrr> I'm running Backtrack 5 (Ubuntu 10.04) and it gets lost each time I boot from my 11.10 ext HDD
[01:47] <Rukoroz> ok, umm, im running gparted gui here
[01:47] <ohHaiImTawm> ah
[01:47] <tessarakt> hmpf
[01:47] <MadHaTTrr> I believe it's a GRUB discrepancy and I want to upgrade BT5's GRUB to 1.99
[01:47] <tessarakt> anyone knowledgable in mysql here?
[01:47] <zows> ah
[01:47] <Rukoroz> and i keeep getting these errors, how i can paste these here?
[01:47] <GRMrGecko> Let me ask the most asked question. Can you install Office 2010 on Ubuntu using wine? I read problems with the installer and read about workarounds such as copying the disk on windows than mounting it on linux.
[01:48] <MadHaTTrr> libreoffice
[01:48] <Rukoroz> no way to copy messages from console :((
[01:48] <Rukoroz> ideas?
[01:48] <tessarakt> sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.1 allows one to set a new root password
[01:48] <tessarakt> but MySQL does not accept the set password afterwards :-(
[01:48] <ohHaiImTawm> Rukoroz: you might be able to dig through /var/log/syslog
[01:48] <MadHaTTrr> no need for M$ Office when "sudo apt-get install libreoffice" does everything you need
[01:48] <Rukoroz> ohHaiImTawm: wait, is too much??
[01:48] <Rukoroz> hmm
[01:48] <lowkie> tessarakt, flush-priviledges
[01:48] <GRMrGecko> MadHaTTrr: The problem we have with LibreOffice is sending documents back to Microsoft Office.
[01:48] <ohHaiImTawm> sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog
[01:48] <Rukoroz> think i will run dmesg, is that great?
[01:49] <Rukoroz> ok
[01:49] <GRMrGecko> Also... It doesn't fit Accounting needs.
[01:49] <MadHaTTrr> make sure you save with compatibility settings
[01:49] <ohHaiImTawm> dmesg should work too
[01:49] <GRMrGecko> MadHaTTrr: What?
[01:49] <tessarakt> lowkie: so restarting the mysql server is not enough?
[01:49] <Rukoroz> ohHaiImTawm: how i paste all of it directly to pastebin??
[01:49] <MadHaTTrr> When you save, make sure you don't save it in libreoffice's .osd format
[01:49] <tessarakt> I wonder why dpkg-reconfigure does not do that?!
[01:49] <ohHaiImTawm> copy and paste
[01:49] <lowkie> tessarakt, that will work too
[01:49] <MadHaTTrr> there are several legacy options to save the files
[01:49] <Rukoroz> oh lol
[01:50] <GRMrGecko> MadHaTTrr: We save as Doc or Xls
[01:50] <GRMrGecko> and it still makes problems
[01:50] <Rukoroz> ok, im running dmesg
[01:50] <ohHaiImTawm> pastebin is pretty strait forward ;)
[01:50] <GRMrGecko> like formatting
[01:50] <MadHaTTrr> like what?
[01:50] <almoxarife> Rukoroz: install 'pastebinit', aftwards run that which causes the errors followed by '| pastebinit' should get a link, share it
[01:50] <tessarakt> well, it doesn't
[01:50] <GRMrGecko> MadHaTTrr: The person I work for does not want me to have them use Libreoffice.
[01:50] <Rukoroz> ok thanks :D almoxarife
[01:50] <MadHaTTrr> I'd play around with the various save formats, found in libreoffice's preferences
[01:51] <MadHaTTrr> :(
[01:51] <lowkie> tessarakt, I have never reconfigured with the package manager.  Try http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/resetting-permissions.html#resetting-permissions-unix
[01:51] <Rukoroz> but wait, ican install it fine on a live cd?
[01:51] <Rukoroz> im chatting right from livecd!
[01:51] <almoxarife> Rukoroz: should
[01:51] <tessarakt> mysql stop/waiting     mysql start/running, process 5467
[01:51] <Rukoroz> ok
[01:51] <GRMrGecko> MadHaTTrr: My question isn't what should I use other than Microsoft Office
[01:51] <ohHaiImTawm> Rukoroz: if you have network connectivity it will
[01:51] <tessarakt> that's what dpkg-reconfigure does afterwards
[01:51] <Rukoroz> yeah :)
[01:51] <GRMrGecko> It's can I run Microsoft Office 2010.
[01:51] <GRMrGecko> Should I download Trial and test?
[01:52] <almoxarife> GRMrGecko: why not try the install with wine, worse case it crashes
[01:52] <MadHaTTrr> ^^
[01:52] <tessarakt> It's quite annoying that you only get advice to use a workaround and yet another workaround
[01:52] <tessarakt> but no-one knows whether it works how it is supposed to work ...
[01:52] <MadHaTTrr> better than having no options
[01:52] <ohHaiImTawm> GRMrGecko: I've never heard anyone run MSOffice well from wine. My knowledge is a bit dated thought.
[01:52] <lowkie> tessarakt, I know that one I showed you work
[01:52] <MadHaTTrr> any GRUB experts in here?
[01:53] <MadHaTTrr> or Backtrack users?
[01:53] <tessarakt> yes - but the Ubuntu way would be dpkg-reconfigure
[01:53] <xangua> !backtrack | MadHaTTrr
[01:53] <tessarakt> UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('MyNewPass') WHERE User='root'; - I can try again, but that DID NOT work for me
[01:53] <yabai> lol
[01:53] <genesisbot> i use backtrack
[01:53] <tessarakt> because there was no root user in that table
[01:54] <MadHaTTrr> don't wanna register
[01:54] <lowkie> tessarakt, what user do you use then?
[01:54] <Rukoroz> almoxarife: wait, what's the package name of that?
[01:54] <bazhang> MadHaTTrr, bt is not supported here. please dont ask again
[01:54] <MadHaTTrr> genesisbot, what GRUB version do you run?
[01:54] <tessarakt> hu?
[01:54] <almoxarife> Rukoroz: pastebinit
[01:54] <tessarakt> none, yet
[01:54] <Rukoroz> ohHaiImTawm: hmm, dmesg is fine?
[01:54] <tessarakt> I'm just trying to set up MySQL
[01:55] <Rukoroz> because errors are there :P
[01:55] <MadHaTTrr> my question is not so much a question about BT5, but upgrading GRUB
[01:55] <bazhang> MadHaTTrr, #backtrack-linux
[01:55] <lowkie> tessarakt, a root user is created by default.  It's in the mysql database, in the user table.
[01:55] <rypervenche> MadHaTTrr: Why do you want to upgrade?
[01:55] <MadHaTTrr> it conflicts with my Ubuntu 11.10 ext HDD
[01:55] <almoxarife> rypervenche: !ot
[01:55] <Rukoroz> almoxarife: wait, how come i get invalid package??
[01:55] <MadHaTTrr> my BT5 install disappears when I boot Oneiric
[01:55] <Rukoroz> unable to locate**
[01:56] <almoxarife> Rukoroz: pastebinit
[01:56] <Rukoroz> yeah
[01:56] <almoxarife> !info pastebinit
[01:56] <Rukoroz> i typed sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[01:56] <Rukoroz> and it says
[01:56] <Rukoroz> E:Unable to locate package
[01:56] <rypervenche> almoxarife: It was a question meant for help, if it was something I could help with. No need for that.
[01:56] <tessarakt> well, this is a vserver
[01:57] <Rukoroz> aff, unvierse component not available in live cd????
[01:57] <tessarakt> created from an image by the hosting provider
[01:57] <Rukoroz> almoxarife .....
[01:57] <tessarakt> maybe they did something strange
[01:57] <tessarakt> you know, I know what I saw
[01:57] <MadHaTTrr> for all intents and purposes, I'm running 10.04
[01:57] <almoxarife> rypervenche: yeah there is, do your backtrack help in #backtrack
[01:57] <MadHaTTrr> how would you upgrade 10.04's GRUB to 1.99?
[01:57] <pangolin> MadHaTTrr: but you're not really
[01:57] <pangolin> #backtrack-linux
[01:57] <MadHaTTrr> irrelevant, I want to upgrade the bootloader
[01:57] <almoxarife> Rukoroz: i dont think you have all repos avail
[01:58] <pangolin> MadHaTTrr: ask #backtrack-linux
[01:58] <rypervenche> almoxarife: I will help whomever I wish. However, I agree, he would do best to ask his question in #backtrack-linux.
[01:58] <lowkie> tessarakt, ?
[01:58] <Rukoroz> almoxarife: ok, what to do?
[01:58] <Rukoroz> almoxarife: to enable this in livecd
[01:58] <almoxarife> rypervenche: no, you wont, not if is not related to ubuntu
[01:58] <tessarakt> I guess it is that strange Parallel Plex Panel
[01:59] <tessarakt> it misconfigures all kinds of stuff ...
[01:59] <almoxarife> Rukoroz: how do you go about installing in live?
[01:59] <Rukoroz> idk lol, i can run no OS in this HDD so......
[01:59] <lowkie> tessarakt, can't help you there…I only do mysql through shell and phpmyadmin
[02:00] <mystogan> hi guys, so i've got an internet conection on my debian box, and i'm trying to share it with my ubuntu box via eth0, but no luck, what settings should ubuntu have?
[02:00] <Rukoroz> almoxarife: ok, any idea then??
[02:00] <almoxarife> Rukoroz: no
[02:01] <Rukoroz> almoxarife:  think im posting dmesg command to pastebin
[02:01] <almoxarife> live-cd installs to ram? yes or no?
[02:01] <lowkie> mystogan, set the ubuntu box's default route to the debian box
[02:01] <mystogan> ?? where?
[02:02] <mystogan> network manager?
[02:02] <lowkie> mystogan, /etc/network/interfaces…or route cmd
[02:03] <Rukoroz> here
[02:04] <Rukoroz> http://pastebin.com/uR3tFedn <-- dmesg of live cd session, hdd badly, gparted stuck, it started running at about, 1000 of the dmesg time, SMART says i have 66 bad clusters

[02:05] <mystogan> ok, lowkie, so in interfaces file so i have to set the ip or will the other box do it for me?
[02:05] <mystogan> as in static or dhcp?
[02:05] <Rukoroz> anyone matters my hdd serious problem???
[02:06] <lowkie> mystogan, set it to static to get it working…then worry about dhcp config

[02:08] <Rukoroz> hello?
[02:08] <blackshirt> hello
[02:09] <googler32> Hi, I downloaded the 64 bit iso for ubuntu - on a computer that support LM cpuflags aka 64 bit. However upon installing it still shows at i686
[02:09] <jaar> hola !!!
[02:10] <h00k> googler32: yeah, it may be i686, but that doesn't mean it's a 64bit
[02:10] <googler32> h00k: Well actually it means it's not.
[02:10] <googler32> My question is why is this happening despite my processor support 64bit and me having used the 64 bit iso
[02:11] <ohHaiImTawm> Rukoroz: I need to get going but investigate the other hard drive utility that was mentioned to you and run that on the hard drive while its unmounted to see if it can repair the bad sectors
[02:11] <blackshirt> what is the mean "no caching" on description of tinyproxy http proxy server ?
[02:11] <psusi> googler32, what shows i686?
[02:11] <xangua> googler32: uname -m ; what does it show¿
[02:12] <Rukoroz> ohHaiImTawm: ok, but im not able to run that if repo for that is universal, because livecd have that disabled :(
[02:12] <Rukoroz> ohHaiImTawm: im trying to fix this using livecd, is all i got here :)
[02:12] <googler32> xangua: i686
[02:12] <psusi> googler32, then you didn't download and install the 64bit version...
[02:12] <googler32> Im going to recheck but I know I did!
[02:13] <xangua> googler32: then you downloaded and installed the 32bit ubuntu version
[02:13] <lowkie> x86_64
[02:13] <googler32> I suppose so
[02:13] <googler32> bbiab
[02:13] <xangua> googler32: it can't change magically ;)
[02:13] <ohHaiImTawm> Rukoroz: hrm can you try installing it from a tarball from the utilitie's website? It'll take more time than an apt-get but it may work
[02:13] <h00k> HOOKAY.
[02:13] <h00k> *caps.
[02:13] <Rukoroz> cmon, i don't wanna lose all files, if im not able, then i gotta format this :(
[02:14] <psusi> Rukoroz, so enable universe
[02:14] <Rukoroz> ohHaiImTawm: ok, and sorry the pastebin is cut, sure, imma inst in other ways :)
[02:14] <Rukoroz> psusi: lol, how to enable it on livecd 11.10?
[02:14] <Rukoroz> ohHaiImTawm: link?
[02:15] <psusi> Rukoroz, either by ticking the box to enable it in synaptic or editing /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:15] <xangua> Rukoroz: Software Center, Edirt, Sources
[02:15] <Rukoroz> ohHaiImTawm: and please let it be not too complicated :)
[02:15] <xangua> Edit*
[02:15] <Rukoroz> psusi: dude, synaptic is not anymore in 11.10 so, soft center :P
[02:15] <andre4s> hi
[02:16] <almoxarife> Rukoroz: synaptic is avail, if you install it
[02:16] <psusi> still used to using synaptic myself...
[02:16] <mystogan> lowkie
[02:17] <andre4s> i installed today the 11.10 on my ppc (ibook g4) and the installer runs fine, on the first reboot it hangs after running the kernel on the initramfs and gave me 100 errors like "fatal: could not load /lib/modules/<IP_ADDRESS>-powerpc/modules.de: no such file or directory"
[02:17] <andre4s> anybody knows how to fix this bug?
[02:18] <andre4s> the file modules.dep exists in the known directory
[02:18] <lowkie> mystogan, yes?
[02:18] <vite> Hi everyone has ubuntu server 12.04 been released
[02:19] <lowkie> it's a bit early
[02:19] <xangua> vite: is it already april¿
[02:19] <psusi> vite, is it already 4/12/2012?
[02:19] <mystogan> lowkie: still no luck. what was the other command using route?
[02:19] <Rukoroz_> sorry, X reset
[02:19] <Rukoroz_> ok, what were saying?
[02:20] <Rukoroz_> sorry lost all trace :(
[02:20] <lowkie> mystogan, route delete <IP_ADDRESS>….route add <IP_ADDRESS> mask <IP_ADDRESS> gw debianbox
[02:21] <vite> so i get prepared how would I go around upgrading from 11.10 to 12.04
[02:21] <lowkie> apt-get diet-upgrade
[02:21] <lowkie> dist-upgrade*
[02:22] <Ruokazek> hello, ohHaiImTawm it's the old user
[02:22] <Ruokazek> rukoroz, why i got banned???
[02:22] <Ruokazek> ..
[02:22] <vite> lowkie just like that and everything automatically runs?
[02:22] <andre4s> nobody any idea how to fix my modules.dep bug?
[02:23] <Ruokazek> ohHaiImTawm: hi, now, i got to install, testdisk??
[02:23] <lowkie> vite, I prefer clean installs…but I have used it twice in production with no errors
[02:24] <johtso> Hmm, I'm running a simple development server on localhost.. and for some reason it's seeing all incoming GETs as POSTS.. is there some way to see what's going on? I have wireshark running, but I'm not sure how to interpret it..
[02:24] <andre4s> why is the file missing?
[02:24] <andre4s> is it a kernel bug?
[02:25] <andre4s> i do not understand the need of the initramfs
[02:25] <andre4s> can anybody explain it to mee
[02:25] <andre4s> ?
[02:25] <psusi> johtso, how to interpret it?  well does it show a GET command or a POST command?
[02:26] <Ruokazek> help, why apt-get is making a malformed source.list file????
[02:26] <Ruokazek> when i run sudo apt-get update?
[02:26] <psusi> Ruokazek, apt-get does not make sources.list, it reads it
[02:26] <johtso> psusi: it shows TCP packets
[02:26] <Ruokazek> psusi: ok, what i can do in live cd?
[02:26] <psusi> johtso, right click and there's an option to assemble the tcp stream or something and show you the text
[02:27] <Ruokazek> because im trying to install some package
[02:27] <Ruokazek> !info testdisk
[02:27] <psusi> Ruokazek, so... install them?
[02:27] <Ruokazek> yeah, im not able --.-
[02:27] <Ruokazek> even if universal enabled :(
[02:27] <psusi> why not?
[02:28] <Ruokazek> i have this
[02:28] <blackshirt> !info tinyproxy
[02:28] <Ruokazek> W: Failed to fetch cdrom://Ubuntu 11.10 _Oneiric Ocelot_ - Release amd64 (20111012)/dists/oneiric/Release  Unable to find expected entry 'restricted/binary-i386/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)
[02:28] <blackshirt> hello
[02:28] <Ruokazek> and it finishes with
[02:28] <psusi> Ruokazek, so?  that's just a warning saying it can't find the cd...ignore it
[02:28] <Ruokazek> E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
[02:28] <Ruokazek> so
[02:29] <xangua> Ruokazek: disable cd  in Software Center, Edit, Sources
[02:29] <Ruokazek> aff ok
[02:29] <Ruokazek> i enabled all sources :P
[02:29] <dubellz> if any active ops here can take a look at #ubuntu-es-offtopic , there's a flooder there, not sure if you share access lists though
[02:29] <psusi> well you can disable the cd source to get rid of the warning, or you can just ignore it... it isn't hurting anything
[02:30] <Ruokazek> idk, looks like sources are locked???
[02:30] <Ruokazek> because
[02:30] <Ruokazek> universal, etc got disabled again
[02:30] <Ruokazek> it still not finding testdisk, help!
[02:31] <aperson> I noticed lately that ubuntu no longer has /dev/shm/ listed as a tmpfs.  Is there a reason for this?
[02:31] <psusi> Ruokazek, you'll have to be less vague... enable the universe, apt-get update, apt-get install testdisk
[02:31] <Ruokazek> psusi: found an iusse, the sources are kind of blocked?
[02:31] <Ruokazek> yes i did
[02:31] <Ruokazek> looks like it gets disabled
[02:31] <psusi> Ruokazek, why do you say that?
[02:32] <Ruokazek> ok here it goes
[02:32] <johtso> psusi: hmm, I am seeing a GET request.. and the server responding with a 405 method not allowed
[02:32] <Ruokazek> psusi: nevermind
[02:32] <Ruokazek> now it's enabled :P
[02:32] <psusi> johtso, ok...
[02:32] <skypup03> -h
[02:32] <skypup03> lol my bad
[02:33] <Ruokazek> finally, got rid of source blocking..
[02:33] <skypup03> hey there RickGIII, how you liking verizon fios?
[02:33] <skypup03> hmph
[02:34] <Ruokazek> why windows and testdisk detect disk as it haves 298gb and why ubuntu says it haves 320gb???
[02:34] <Ruokazek> oh
[02:35] <ariane5> where i can talk about all and nothing ?
[02:35] <acerimmer> !offtopic
[02:35] <Ruokazek> hey, testdisk is kind of locked/froze idea??
[02:36] <Ruokazek> oh nevermind
[02:37] <ariane5> why can i use ubuntu not windows ? ;-)
[02:38] <Ruokazek> ariane5: lol, why? im able to use anything :D
[02:38] <Ruokazek> ariane5: mac, windows,and linux and variants xD
[02:39] <ariane5> too many options
[02:39] <ariane5> specyfication is good
[02:40] <redlegoreng> Hi ! I just installed Ubuntu 11.10 32 bits on my new W520. I'm not sure however if the graphic card (Nvidia Quadro 2000m). The propritery driver seems to be activated by default, but i still get Unity2D only. What should I do ?
[02:41] <pdg1> redlegoreng: are you loging in automatically? ie. does it prompt you for a password when you turn the comp on?
[02:41] <pdg1> logging*
[02:41] <redlegoreng> yes
[02:43] <ariane5> my mind can work with windows does can change it ?
[02:43] <pdg1> have you tried logging out and logging in selecting (under session) Ubuntu?
[02:43] <pdg1> assuming Ubuntu is an option instead of Ubuntu 2D
[02:44] <redlegoreng> i'll try that !
[02:44] <redlegoreng> maybe i overlooked the option
[02:44] <pdg1> redlegoreng: otherwise I'm pretty sure there's a file somewhere that defines the default session
[02:44] <RichardWinters> I have a question about IRC server freenode
[02:45] <RichardWinters> does the server has permitted the use of Bouncer ?
[02:45] <ariane5> good work with webchat
[02:46] <Zaukox> hello, how i can fix/scan the HDD with testdisk?
[02:46] <Zaukox> i got 66 bad clusters....
[02:47] <pdg1> RichardWinters: unsure. i found this tho http://ericholscher.com/blog/2010/nov/5/using-znc-irc-bouncer/
[02:47] <RichardWinters> cuak !
[02:49] <Zaukox> anyone???
[02:49] <somsip> Zaukox: Have you done a backup yet?
[02:49] <Rango> does ubuntu use LVM yet?
[02:49] <RichardWinters> thats what i was talking about, thanks pdg1
[02:49] <pdg1> redlegoreng: you still there?
[02:49] <redlegoreng> yes
[02:49] <RichardWinters> its time to reboot and learn ubuntu
[02:49]  * RichardWinters is scared
[02:49] <Zaukox> somsip: nope, and it's badly corrupted, im on livecd, cannot run any system in hdd
[02:49] <redlegoreng> there's the ubuntu or unbutu 2d option
[02:50] <redlegoreng> however, even if i select ubuntu, it is ubuntu 2d that loads
[02:50] <somsip> Zaukox: I strongly recommend a backup as your first priority. You might do more damage in trying to repair bad blocks, and that number of bad blocks might indicate an impending HD failure
[02:50] <pdg1> hmmm
[02:51] <Zaukox> redlegoreng: that's because the graphics do not support ubuntu but it supports u2d
[02:51] <pdg1> redlegoreng: just wondering, have you used ubuntu before? is this your first time? should I be gentle?
[02:51] <redlegoreng> yes it's my first time :)
[02:52] <pdg1> okay...
[02:52] <Zaukox> somsip: ok, i got 66 bad clusters from smart info, im not able to use gparted,  and im kind of stuck in testdisk....
[02:52] <pdg1> redlegoreng: you said you just installed it on a W-something
[02:52] <pdg1> what was it?
[02:52] <redlegoreng> w520
[02:53] <pdg1> laptop of some kind?
[02:53] <Zaukox> somsip: and zero backups, what the point of backuping a corrupted disk?
[02:53] <redlegoreng> yes
[02:53] <Zaukox> somsip: idea?
[02:53] <somsip> Zaukox: because you have files on there that you want to keep, I assume. If you attempt to fix the bad blocks and lose all data on the disk, you might wish you'd done a backup first. And don't spam me. Give me chance to type
[02:54] <Zaukox> somsip: ok, sorry :P, yeah, i got two OS there. and nonee of them im able to boot, is a pain starting over, Really....
[02:54] <pdg1> redlegoreng: could be that there's some restricted graphics drivers that you need to install. or even some updates that need to take plac
[02:55] <somsip> Zaukox: I understand, but it happens. You could just go ahead and do a disk repair and be fine, but there is always a risk
[02:55] <redlegoreng> yes i have been googling for a while, but i didnt find clear information
[02:56] <pdg1> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedDrivers there's some info on restricted drivers
[02:56] <pdg1> who's the manufacter?
[02:56] <slicknick5181> Has anyone had experience with LTSP?
[02:56] <pdg1> n/m lenovo
[02:56] <pdg1> I'm assuming
[02:56] <redlegoreng> yes
[02:57] <redlegoreng> in system settings / additional drivers, it seems that some addition driver are already installed and running
[02:57] <pdg1> hmmm
[02:58] <nanoguy> i am using ubuntu for 3 months but last week system tray is crashed and not starts now. help me
[02:58] <Zaukox> somsip: ik about it, nevermind if i run that risk, either if it gets worse, bye disk.....  yep, im not able to repair this, disk utility crashed when  i tired to get smart status and i tried to do check fs but it says, fs is not clean... and when it's mounted it comes with some kind of online slots not available?? umm, ideas pleaseee
[03:01] <nanoguy> so i last network applet and hp printer support help me. i am using ubuntu 10.10
[03:01] <Zaukox> somsip: are u there??
[03:02] <somsip> Zaukox: I'm no expert on HD problems. I guess you've tried running fsck without moutning the disk? And yes I'm here, but my attention is not solely on you
[03:03] <Zaukox> ok, yes, oh aw, frogot fsck :P and oh well :P
[03:03] <Zaukox> im running that
[03:03] <somsip> Zaukox: After trying fsck, I'm out of ideas
[03:03] <shepherd> hi. how do I use vesa instead of nouveau? nouveau is being used   │ ikonia
[03:03] <shepherd>                   | by default, and X wont start up "AddScreen/ScreenInit failed for  │ JorisL_42
[03:03] <Zaukox> hmm, im new on fsck, ideas?
[03:04] <DarkStar1> Is there anyone here that knows a great deal about web services infrastructure. I want to run something by someone to get an opinion
[03:05] <shepherd> Hi. I need to use Vesa instead of Nouveau. My computer is a Dell Inspiron 8100, and X fails to start "AddScreen/ScreenInit failed for driver 0"
[03:05] <pdg1> redlegoreng: i also found this. I'm not sure if it'll help http://debianhelp.wordpress.com/2011/10/14/how-to-change-default-session-in-ubuntu-11-10/
[03:05] <DarkStar1> becquse I either have an OS bug or I have a bug triggered by service provider's caching issues
[03:06] <pdg1> redlegoreng: i dont' think that one will help, sorry... I just realized that it does the same thing you did by logging out and trying to change the session
[03:07] <Zaukox> anyone in fsck usage??
[03:07] <Zaukox> im new using fsck....
[03:09] <Zaukox> what's the fsck command i need to run to scan the whole disk?????
[03:11] <Zaukox> hello?
[03:11] <acerimmer> Zaukox: greetings
[03:11] <Zaukox> somsip: hey, how i can make fsck scan and fix the whole disk?
[03:12] <Zaukox> acerimmer: hey, how i can make fsck scan and fix the whole disk?
[03:12] <somsip> Zaukox: 5

[03:12] <somsip> Get your very own LMGTFY sticker! You know you
[03:12] <somsip> want one!
[03:12] <somsip> Zaukox: ooops.
[03:12] <Zaukox> lol
[03:13] <pdg1> redlegoreng: I'm sorry I'm not much help... that's about all I know :P . I did find this other article about all the things you may want to do after installing Ubuntu . http://debianhelp.wordpress.com/2011/09/12/to-do-list-after-installing-ubuntu-11-10-aka-oneiric-ocelot/
[03:13] <somsip> Zaukox: http://bit.ly/yE6IKp
[03:13] <acerimmer> somsip: :)
[03:13] <Zaukox> awww lol
[03:14] <redlegoreng> ok, thanks for your help
[03:14] <Zaukox> aff,  somsip that google search is not verry useful for me....
[03:15] <somsip> Zaukox: maybe it will inspire you to try different combinations of words. I was sat here googling for you and all you were doing was repeating the same question in IRC. Go figure.
[03:15] <Zaukox> lol ok
[03:15] <acerimmer> Zaukox: see here: http://linuxpoison.blogspot.com/2009/04/how-to-checkrepair-fsck-filesystem.html
[03:15] <somsip> Zaukox: Like I said, I'm no expert. I understand fsck is the tool for the job. Beyond that, you need someone else to help, or to find out a little more yourself. I'm out
[03:16] <Zaukox> yeah, i don't know to use fsck :(
[03:17] <TiMiDo> Zaukox, man fsck
[03:17] <TiMiDo> ;)
[03:17] <Jeremy3D> Trying to run dual monitors, one an actual comptuer monitor and one a tv with a vga output.  getting error "required virtual size does not fit available size: requested=(2880, 900), minimum=(320, 200), maximum=(1600, 1600)"
[03:17] <Jeremy3D> but i really dont understand what it's asking for
[03:18] <Jeremy3D> they're both currently set to 1440X900
[03:18] <Jeremy3D> oh
[03:18] <Jeremy3D> so the total can't be above 1600 ?
[03:19] <acerimmer> Jeremy3D: does vga tv output @1440x900?
[03:19] <Jeremy3D> honestly not sure. i'll have to look the model up
[03:19] <Zaukox> TiMiDo: yeah, that does not make any trick here :( that does not have info about how to run a FULL hard disk check+repair....
[03:20] <dasnbob> have a problem with unity upgrade
[03:20] <TiMiDo> Zaukox, read about it on the man page
[03:20] <Zaukox> Jeremy3D: maybe u are no able to do extended dual screen because 1440+1440 excceds the limit, can it be?
[03:21] <Jeremy3D> it just says Resolution 1366 x 768 but i'm not sure if that's for the tv or the vga
[03:21] <acerimmer> Jeremy3D: that's the exact resolution of my dell laptop...
[03:22] <harris> what do i type to shutdown the linux systme
[03:22] <dasnbob> would like some help fixing some items broken during 11.10 upgrade from 11.04 in classic mode

[03:22] <hiexpo> ^res
[03:22] <Zaukox> harris: or, sudo halt
[03:23] <TiMiDo> Zaukox, then type, in google fsck tutorial
[03:23] <acerimmer> harris: sudo init 0
[03:23] <TiMiDo> you'll find 1000 of manuals
[03:23] <Zaukox> TiMiDo: oh well
[03:24] <Hiz> Question:i still dont know why ubuntu change repository everytime they release. example, what is essentially difference between lucid repo and Oneiric repo?
[03:25] <Ben64> Hiz: they're different versions..
[03:26] <Hiz> Ben64: thx reply. but lucid repo also update everyday..
[03:26] <dasnbob> I believe there were major changes in code language between   9  and 11    (lucid and oneric)
[03:26] <Zaukox> im not even able to use fsck! :(
[03:26] <Zaukox> really, im not able to get any soft check and fix /dev/sda!!
[03:26] <franzks> Everytime I start up Ubuntu, the brightness is always at full and the wifi and bluetooth are always on even if I turned them off before. Why is that? I'm on an Acer 4740 notebook running Oneiric
[03:26] <Ben64> Zaukox: why can't you fsck
[03:27] <VectorX> hi, i am trying to put the 'ubuntu-11.10-alternate-amd64.iso' iso on a pendrive but cant find the option on 'Universal-USB-Installer-<IP_ADDRESS>' can someone point me to what i should do ?, with unetbootin when installing it downloads most of the files again from the net so thats not working well
[03:27] <Zaukox> fsck.ext2: Device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/sda
[03:27] <ubluntu> Zaukox: is it mounted ..?
[03:27] <Ben64> Zaukox: you need to have the partition not mounted in order to check it
[03:27] <Zaukox> i ran this sudo fsck -MV /dev/sda -- -a -y
[03:28] <Zaukox> yes, is NOT mounted
[03:28] <theorem> curious, I want to upgrade my video card, but the X config flickers when it tries to load the old drivers, is there a way to back down to non-accelerated drivers ( using beryl) so I could al least get to the GUI ?
[03:28] <Zaukox> and im trying to scan the whole disk
[03:28] <ubluntu> uh. idk try doing one at a tim
[03:28] <nanoguy> vectorx: u may boot with same cd on virtual box and startup disk creater tool
[03:28] <Zaukox> that's why sda, not sdaN
[03:28] <dasnbob> guess   most of the tech help   went home.............
[03:29]  * theorem sighs
[03:29] <theorem> Zaukox: what are you trying to do ?
[03:29] <Ben64> Zaukox: pastebin the following: "sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda" and "mount"
[03:29] <Zaukox> scan and fix the whole disk, im on live cd
[03:29] <theorem> 'fix' ?
[03:29] <theorem> fsck ?
[03:29] <VectorX> nanoguy ok ty
[03:29] <theorem> fsck -y /
[03:29] <theorem> or ...
[03:30] <theorem> you have to do it a partition at a time
[03:30] <theorem> or write a script to drive it
[03:30] <zykotick9> VectorX: have you tried using cat to the device?  not sure if alternate is a hybrid-cd or not, it should be.
[03:30] <Zaukox> theorem: im trying to scan the whole disk, smart says that i got 66 bad clusters, and im not able to  use gparted
[03:30] <theorem> for i in 1..3 then \ fsck -i /dev/sda$i \ end
[03:31] <VectorX> zykotick9 trying on windows, ill give a shot to nanoguy's suggestion
[03:31] <Ben64> Zaukox: pastebin the following: "sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda" and "mount"
[03:31] <VectorX> also how do you change the dash to the normal gnome file menu sort of thing
[03:31] <theorem> VectorX: that's on google
[03:31] <Zaukox> ok ben
[03:32] <VectorX> theorem couldnt really find it, but ill try again once i get this disk going
[03:32] <theorem> 'it' ?
[03:32] <Zaukox> why fdisk ben?
[03:32] <VectorX> how do change the dash to the menu sstem
[03:32] <VectorX> system
[03:32] <theorem> fdisk shows him the partitions
[03:32] <Ben64> Zaukox: to see the partitions
[03:33] <Zaukox> oh
[03:33] <theorem> Zaukox: it's just as easy to mount / and cat /etc/fstab
[03:33] <Zaukox> oh
[03:33] <Ben64> theorem: not really
[03:33] <theorem> just fsck /dev/sda1  first (likely / )
[03:33] <theorem> Ben64: meh .. depends how bad the drive is :)
[03:34]  * theorem lets Ben64 drive.
[03:34] <samijam> Does anybody know where, in Ubuntu 11.10, I can set the Guest session to use gnome-shell by default, and set other guest session defaults?
[03:34] <Zaukox> tada: ran all of it and pasted -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/810332/
[03:35] <Zaukox> frogot mount :(
[03:35] <Ben64> Zaukox: i think you mean you forgot fdisk
[03:35] <Zaukox> http://paste.ubuntu.com/810333/
[03:35] <Ben64> nothing changed
[03:35] <Zaukox> shows nothing
[03:36] <Ben64> Zaukox: "fdisk -l /dev/sda" shows nothing?
[03:36] <Zaukox> oh wait
[03:36] <Zaukox> here goes the pastebin
[03:36] <Zaukox> im appending |pastebinit

[03:37] <harris> my laptop used to boot linux from CD, now it will not boot any of my linux cds, it goes straight to windows. I have bios setup correctly. nothing is wrong with the cds. i also have a windows xp cd i want to reinstall. but it wont let me because it goes straight to windows. so my computer will not boot from any cds now. the cd reader is working fine.
[03:37] <Zaukox> there... see and tell me :P
[03:37] <Ben64> Zaukox: fsck won't check/fix NTFS partitions
[03:37] <Zaukox> uh so?
[03:37] <Ben64> Zaukox: you can use fsck on /dev/sda2 though
[03:37] <Zaukox> and swap?
[03:37] <Ben64> swap doesn't need to be checked
[03:37] <Zaukox> oh
[03:37] <theorem> harris: edit your BIOS options
[03:37] <samijam> harris, it sounds like the cd reader is not working fine
[03:38] <theorem> harris: change your BIOS boot order.
[03:38] <harris> but i know its working fine
[03:38] <Zaukox> ok, so how i can run ntfs check here?
[03:38] <samijam> harris, or the bios boot order :)
[03:38] <harris> i did reorder teh BIOS already
[03:38] <Ben64> Zaukox: you don't, you have to use windows
[03:38] <Zaukox> Ben64: i cannot boot any OS :(
[03:38] <harris> everything was working fine just yesterday
[03:38] <harris> now today it misbehaves
[03:39] <theorem> harris: smells fishy. your CD drive may not be getting detected, does it work at all ?
[03:39] <Zaukox> im on live cd, it's a little pain to reconfig it.....
[03:39] <Zaukox> so
[03:39] <harris> yes i can read all files from CD drive
[03:39] <Ben64> Zaukox: try fsck on /dev/sda2 then
[03:39] <Zaukox> ok
[03:39] <theorem> harris: you tested it ?
[03:39] <harris> i viewed them manually
[03:39] <lowkie> harris, unplug your HD and see if you can boot of your cd
[03:39] <theorem> follow lowkie
[03:39] <harris> i am able to see all filed whn i insert cd
[03:40] <theorem> see is not "use"
[03:40] <theorem> see only reads the TOC.
[03:40] <harris> its a laptop
[03:40] <theorem> harris: the HDD comes out.
[03:40] <harris> how can i test it
[03:40] <harris> ok good idea
[03:40] <harris> i can take out the HD
[03:40] <harris> but whats a way to test the CD reader
[03:40] <harris> just open soem files from CD manually?
[03:40] <lowkie> harris, please pull battery before you remove HD
[03:40] <dasnbob> guess the only interest to help is with the HD prob,,,,
[03:40] <harris> ok
[03:41] <harris> it can short circuit if i dont remove batt?
[03:41] <theorem> no
[03:41] <theorem> the batt keeps the bios settings alive
[03:41] <lowkie> doubt it…but be safe
[03:41] <Zaukox> Ben64: wat the cmd for the sda2 check+fix?
[03:41] <theorem> brb
[03:42] <Ben64> Zaukox: "sudo fsck -y /dev/sda2"
[03:42] <Zaukox> ok, imma paste that :P
[03:43] <Zaukox> it's running
[03:43] <Zaukox> lol, im blind
[03:44] <dasnbob> any help out there     for   reverting back to 'classic' mode   in 11.10        the unity desktop no to my liking
[03:44] <Zaukox> dasnbob: hmm, try idk, some other stuff?
[03:44] <dasnbob> uses to many resources
[03:44] <Zaukox> also synaptic disappeard
[03:45] <dasnbob> idk ????
[03:45] <Zaukox> dasnbob: hmm idk, try another display manager?
[03:45] <dasnbob> ok      how
[03:45] <Zaukox> i din't know*
[03:45] <trism> !notunity | dasnbob
[03:45] <Zaukox> oh "P\
[03:45] <Zaukox> aww
[03:46] <VectorX> i am installing LTSP off the 'ubuntu-11.10-alternate-amd64.iso' CD, come of questions on the iso, when it comes to installing software in the initial install, the installer starts to download from the net, how do i stop that and also i need to install the 386 architechture, can i put the 386 iso on the same usb in the directory and tell it to use those file ?
[03:46] <Zaukox> idk bout that new thingy, ubottu , trism
[03:46] <dasnbob> can't copy to save   that     but thank you
[03:47] <Zaukox> Ben64: hmm, i wonder how long it will take -.-
[03:47] <Zaukox> im canceling it and running without paste
[03:47] <lowkie> it can run for hours
[03:47] <dasnbob> using    Oneiric      liked   Maverick
[03:48] <dasnbob> 10.10
[03:48] <Zaukox> ok there it goes Ben64  :)
[03:48] <harris> hey it works! after i took out the hard drive, it boots to CD, but, how can i reinstall my windows XP without the harddrive!?
[03:48] <harris> can i put the hard drive into the laptop while its still on? i dont think so
[03:48] <Zaukox> harris: u got to put back the hdd, u need to power it off and pull batt,
[03:49] <lowkie> harris, if it works with no hard drive then you have a bios/boot priority issue
[03:49] <Zaukox> and u really need to go BIOS/CMOS setup
[03:49] <Zaukox> hey Ben64 , wondering why this comes Error reading block 1267 (Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read) while getting next inode from scan.  Ignore error? yes
[03:50] <Zaukox>  how i do repair the ntfs partition on ubuntu??
[03:51] <lowkie> Zaukox, you can't…boot windows and chkdsk
[03:52] <Zaukox> lowkie: no :(
[03:52] <Zaukox> corrupt boot :(
[03:52] <lowkie> Zaukox, windows has a repair mode too
[03:52] <Zaukox> lowkie: i can at least do chkdsk within win7 inst cd
[03:52] <Zaukox> yeah
[03:52] <Zaukox> :P
[03:53] <Zaukox> oh well
[03:53] <Zaukox> lowkie: i cannot even run local repair mode
[03:53] <Zaukox> think im going to run win7 cd
[03:53] <Zaukox> cd/dvd :P
[03:53] <Zaukox> lowkie: really is not possible to scan ntfs in ubuntu??
[03:54] <lowkie> Zaukox, ntfs support is iffy at best with linux.  It's all reversing engineering….you want to trust that to repair?
[03:54] <Zaukox> lowkie: damn, how bad is the support here?
[03:55] <lowkie> Zaukox, what do you mean?
[03:55] <Zaukox> how good is the ntfs disk support for check+fix in ubuntu??
[03:56] <lowkie> Zaukox, there is no support for it
[03:56] <Zaukox> :(
[03:56] <Zaukox> so
[03:56] <Zaukox> also
[03:56] <Zaukox> does  the swap disk never need to be checked?
[03:56] <lowkie> Zaukox, swap can be reformatted…it's only temp data
[03:57] <Zaukox> oh, is fine then to delete it and tada, brandnew swap?
[03:57] <lowkie> delete the partition?
[03:58] <Zaukox> http://paste.ubuntu.com/810347/ <--:O
[03:58] <lowkie> I would say you need a new drive
[03:59] <Zaukox> lowkie: why? and, i kept using this pc at fully power for 7 months, and this is a netbook
[03:59] <Zaukox> so
[04:00] <Zaukox> yay, it's fixing :P
[04:00] <lowkie> Zaukox, once bad blocks start…it's rare for it to stop
[04:00] <Zaukox> hmm, with the force rewite, do i get the cluster data back?
[04:00] <Zaukox> lowkie: the bad blocking hit the booting parts badly
[04:00] <Ben64> yeah once smart messages start coming up, it means time for a new drive
[04:00] <Zaukox> but
[04:00] <Zaukox> mbr is safe
[04:01] <Zaukox> also
[04:01] <Zaukox> i been using this for 7 months only
[04:01] <lowkie> Zaukox, warranty it then
[04:01] <Zaukox> umm, zero warranty because i/we requested none, because foregin
[04:02] <Ben64> then get a new hard drive
[04:02] <Zaukox> do i keep the data fine in the clusters?
[04:02] <Zaukox> yeah, i cannot, is expensive
[04:02] <multipass> is there any way to reset my network devices? I have a ubuntu server virtual box that says its using eth5 and eth6?
[04:02] <urlin2u> Zaukox, clone it at the least.
[04:03] <Zaukox> and, my dad says that fully format solves it all, is he right?
[04:03] <pnorman> Zaukox: If you go for no warranty, you're betting that it'll be cheaper on average to replace the drive then to return it.
[04:03] <Ben64> Zaukox: the easiest thing to do would be to format and reinstall, but the hard drive errors will still exist
[04:03] <pnorman> Zaukox: there's no way to make the drive reliable again
[04:03] <lowkie> Zaukox, smart errors are hardware issues…format doesn't fix hardware problems
[04:03] <Zaukox> ok, and if i do low level format?
[04:03] <lowkie> eek!
[04:03] <Zaukox> !!
[04:04] <Zaukox> wat if i do lowlevel format to it?
[04:04] <mobile> i
[04:04] <pnorman> Zaukox: Is it even possible to buy a drive without a warantty?
[04:04] <lowkie> Zaukox, got a small boat that could use an anchor?
[04:05] <Zaukox> not for me, cause i brought this in usa, im in argentina, so no warranty
[04:05] <Zaukox> lol lowkie
[04:05] <pnorman> Zaukox: What brand?
[04:05] <Zaukox> it's an Acer Aspire One 722
[04:05] <pnorman> Not the computer, the drive
[04:05] <Zaukox> lol
[04:05] <Zaukox> wait
[04:06] <|Anthony|> Using ubuntu 10.04 64bit. How can i change the default audio input device?
[04:07] <TravisD> I'm trying to use my laptop as a network bridge to share my wireless connection over ethernet. I have created a new wireless network and changed the ipv4 method to "Shared to other computers". When I try to use it, however, it keeps reconnecting and disconnecting. Does anyone know what could be going wrong?
[04:07] <TravisD> a new wired network*
[04:07] <Zaukox> ok, /dev/sda is: 320GB/298GB  hard disk (ATA Hitachi HTS43232A7A384), that's wat disk utility says
[04:08] <TiMiDo> TravisD, check dmesg
[04:08] <Zaukox> pnorman:there
[04:09] <Zaukox> now i got corrupted dirs!!
[04:09] <pnorman> Zaukox: According to the hitachi site you can return the *drive* to the place of purchase under hitachi's warranty if not in one of the countries listed. http://www.hitachigst.com/portal/site/en/support/warranty/
[04:09] <TravisD> TiMiDo: There are some messages saying no IPv6 routers present, some other saying eth0: link becomes ready followed by eth0:link is not ready, followed by irq 45 for MSI/MSI-X followed by eth0 NIC Link is Up<100 Mbps Full Duplex>
[04:10] <Zaukox> nono, i got ZERO WARRANTY
[04:10] <TiMiDo> TravisD, what laptop is this,?
[04:10] <TravisD> TiMiDo: Asus EEE 1000HA
[04:10] <TravisD> er, 1005HA
[04:10] <pnorman> Zaukox: Contact hitachi and tell them that the place you bought the drive from is refusing to accept it for a return.
[04:11] <joeko> I just used dd to clone a disk, how do I load the disks partition table?
[04:11] <Zaukox> pnorman: IM NOT WARRANTY PROTECTED!
[04:11] <pnorman> Zaukox: For the laptop? I'm not talking about the laptop warranty
[04:11] <Zaukox> both
[04:11] <Zaukox> all of it
[04:11] <cheako> Hello, how can I remove a program from the manually installed list?
[04:12] <lowkie> pnorman, he doesn't wash to use warranty
[04:12] <pnorman> I don't believe hitachi allows its drives to be sold with no warranty
[04:12] <cheako> s/program/package/
[04:12] <lowkie> want to use*
[04:12] <TiMiDo> TravisD, how are you connecting,?
[04:12] <TiMiDo> wlan0 or eth0?
[04:12] <TravisD> TiMiDo: it is connected to my wireless network on wlan0 ( I think ) and to another machine over eth0
[04:12] <Zaukox> how long can the repair take?
[04:12] <urlin2u> joeko, do you mean boot the new drive?
[04:12] <TiMiDo> TravisD, are you using a router?
[04:13] <pnorman> They don't actually repair drives. they send you a new one
[04:13] <TiMiDo> Hub?
[04:13] <TravisD> TiMiDo: Yes, but that connection is working fine
[04:13] <Zaukox> no lol, im running fsck on the ubuntu partition
[04:13] <TravisD> TiMiDo: I'm actually trying to set up my netbook + a router as a repeater
[04:13] <lowkie> Zaukox, I have a server that takes 42 hours to run a chkdsk on
[04:13] <TiMiDo> paste me your dmesg  paste.ubuntu.com
[04:13] <TravisD> TiMiDo: So the device trying to connect over eth0 is a router
[04:13] <TiMiDo> and give me the url
[04:13] <TravisD> TiMiDo: Sure
[04:13] <Zaukox> lowkie: really? how big?
[04:14] <lowkie> Zaukox, 2 TB full of small files
[04:14] <Zaukox> aw awaw
[04:14] <Zaukox> crazy lowkie
[04:14] <cheako> Drives have a large tendency to have a large first wave on the bathtub curve.  The company would have to deal with customers regularly in regards to this, so I'd vote for mandatory warranty on drives.
[04:14] <Zaukox> lol wat, im here without ANY WARRANTY CMON
[04:15] <joeko> urlin2u, no I mean reload the disk partition table, like when you write a new partition table using fdisk and after the write sda1 and sda2 become available
[04:15] <Zaukox> ok,
[04:15] <TravisD> TiMiDo: paste.ubuntu.com/810352/
[04:16] <Zaukox> oh god think im losing stuff
[04:16] <cheako> lowkie: Dosn't your OS do background scanning?
[04:16] <lowkie> joeko, have you tried "sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb" …insert correct device
[04:16] <TiMiDo> TravisD, read this article, http://www.jfwhome.com/2009/08/06/perfect-ubuntu-jaunty-on-the-asus-eeepc-1005ha-and-1008ha/
[04:16] <Zaukox> ok it finished..
[04:17] <lowkie> cheako, yeah, but I do forced during maintenance windows
[04:17] <TravisD> TiMiDo: Oh. Thanks for finding that :) I just need to build those drivers and then we're good to go?
[04:17] <Zaukox> uhhh, bad sector climbed!
[04:18] <TiMiDo> first of all which release are you using?
[04:18] <Zaukox> 133 now :(
[04:18] <TiMiDo> TravisD, are you using the atheros drivers?
[04:18] <urlin2u> joeko, never used fdisk so  miss the point here.
[04:18] <urlin2u> I*
[04:19] <TravisD> TiMiDo: Ubuntu 11.10 and I'm not sure about atheros drivers. How do I check?
[04:19] <TiMiDo> TravisD, paste lsmod to paste.ubuntu.com
[04:19] <Zaukox> ok pnorman , Ben64, lowkie... now it got worse, fsck finished but it end up with smart telling i have 133 bad sectors now
[04:19] <|Anthony|> Using ubuntu 10.04 64bit. How can i change the default audio input device?
[04:19] <lowkie> Zaukox, that's what we were saying
[04:20] <Zaukox> 133 on the whole disk, i scanned /dev/sda2 which is ubuntu system part
[04:20] <Zaukox> so
[04:20] <lowkie> Zaukox, 133 only scanning sda2…when you do your windows partition there could be more
[04:20] <TravisD> TiMiDo: paste.ubuntu.com/810355
[04:21] <Zaukox> damn, how the hell i make that go down ?
[04:21] <lowkie> Zaukox, buy a new drive
[04:21] <TiMiDo> yeah you are using the ather0s drivers, ath9k
[04:21] <Zaukox> No!, what then? lowkie
[04:21] <TiMiDo> now TravisD man iptables and have Fun,
[04:21] <lowkie> Zaukox, how well do you like live cd's?
[04:21] <TravisD> TiMiDo: Heh, no way to avoid that?
[04:22] <Zaukox> lol, not much, unless it's presistent
[04:22] <lowkie> Zaukox, I hear pen drives are cool
[04:22] <Zaukox> and got no usb here
[04:22] <Zaukox> yeah
[04:22] <TiMiDo> why would you avoid, that since is your Wireless driver?
[04:22] <TiMiDo> TravisD,
[04:22] <Zaukox> so lowkie ?
[04:22] <lowkie> Zaukox, you have a hardware failure…or soon to be….software can't fix hardware
[04:22] <TravisD> TiMiDo: IP tables seem intimidating
[04:23] <nosleep77> :D
[04:23] <Zaukox> so?
[04:23] <TiMiDo> TravisD, join #Netfilter
[04:23] <lowkie> Zaukox, just do a backup…and enjoy live cds
[04:23] <Zaukox> cmon it's really a pain starting over :(
[04:23] <TravisD> TiMiDo: So, the problem is that I don't have it set up properly? I will join Netfilter soon
[04:23] <flowerpot> What is the equivalent of mkbootdisk on Ubuntu?
[04:23] <TiMiDo> yeah you need to configure it properly TravisD
[04:24] <TravisD> TiMiDo: Good chance to learn I guess :)
[04:24] <Zaukox> will low level format fix all this lowkie ?
[04:24] <lowkie> Zaukox, low level formatting an IDE or SATA drive will destroy it
[04:24] <TiMiDo> also check the router configuration on the local ip and configure it from there also TravisD
[04:24] <Zaukox> lowkie: yes, and then?
[04:24] <nosleep77> flowerpot, mkboot i think
[04:24] <lowkie> Zaukox, and then it will NEVER work again
[04:24] <flowerpot> I searched apt-cache for mkboot but couldn't find it
[04:25] <flowerpot> it's not in debianutils either...where is it?
[04:25] <Zaukox> really?
[04:25] <TiMiDo> to see if the router, Firewall might be blocking it, TravisD
[04:25] <TravisD> TiMiDo: Should I use static IPs?
[04:25] <Zaukox> lowkie: why?
[04:25] <lowkie> Zaukox, it won't just destroy the data…it will destroy the drive itself
[04:25] <Ben64> Zaukox: it is impossible to fix the hard drive
[04:25] <TiMiDo> for a server, i suggest you do so, TravisD
[04:25] <flowerpot> sudo apt-cache search mkboot returns "abootimg - Tool to read/write/update android boot images"
[04:25] <lowkie> Zaukox, IDE/SATA are not SCSI, MFM, or RLL drives
[04:25] <TravisD> okay, thanks TiMiDo
[04:25] <nosleep77> hmm .. :(
[04:26] <GitNick> guys im chrooted from a live cd into my broken installation, in which I managed to wipe the boot partition. How to I regen/reinstall the vmlinuz image?
[04:26] <Zaukox> in logical terms, i bet if i do low format it will be like a brand new hdd, im right?
[04:26] <lowkie> Zaukox, yes…I went back to MFM days
[04:26] <cheako> Hello, how can I remove a package from the manually installed list?
[04:26] <TiMiDo> no problem TravisD
[04:26] <Zaukox> lowkie: oh lol
[04:26] <happymonkey> ya ubuntu problem solving while drunk
[04:26] <happymonkey> so good
[04:26] <happymonkey> let's do it
[04:26] <nosleep77> flowerpot, do u just wanna do the dd thing
[04:26] <cipher__> has anyone here installed ubuntu on a xps15z?
[04:27] <lowkie> Zaukox, do as you wish…I hope that drive has a safety on it to keep you from destroying it
[04:27] <flowerpot> nosleep77, not sure what "the dd thing" is
[04:27] <Zaukox> sure about that lowkie ? because hmmm,
[04:27] <happymonkey> cipher__: looks like a nice machine
[04:28] <flowerpot> nosleep77, I'm learning about the Linux bootstrap process, and the book I'm reading uses mkbootimage so I was hoping to follow along. That's all.  If there's an alternative for Ubuntu, I'm all ears.
[04:28] <nosleep77> flowerpot, there's a manual way of doing it
[04:28] <nosleep77> flowerpot, i just googled and there's a buncha stuff
[04:28] <lowkie> Zaukox, I have given you my advice…it's your choice if you wish to ignore it
[04:28] <flowerpot> could you give me your google string?
[04:29] <cipher__> happymonkey: thanks, unfortunately I cannot even get it to boot from the "installation splash." I have also read the trackpad, wireless, and graphics card(s) have issues. I was just curious if there is anyone that has resolved these issues; I refuse to use windows :p
[04:29] <nosleep77> "create book disk ubuntu"
[04:29] <Zaukox> YES, DAMN U lowkie  THE LOW FORMAT REGENS THE MAGNETIC SECTORS OF THE DISK, SO, WHY NOT DO LOW FORMAT!?
[04:29] <flowerpot> cool.  thanks nosleep77
[04:29] <happymonkey> cipher__: what graphics card do you have installed on it?
[04:30] <lowkie> Zaukox, good luck
[04:30] <Zaukox> why lol
[04:30] <Ben64> because you're going to break your drive even worse
[04:30] <nosleep77> flowerpot, yw
[04:30] <Zaukox> HOW I CAN REDUCE THE CURRENT PENDING SECTOR COUNT!?
[04:30] <Zaukox> REALLY
[04:30] <Ben64> you don't
[04:30] <Zaukox> DO NOT TELL ME TO BUY A NEW HDD
[04:31] <urlin2u> Zaukox, could you lay low on the cap key.
[04:31] <happymonkey> cipher__: look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1776254&page=6 im.brien's post
[04:31] <happymonkey> seems to be promising
[04:31] <lowkie> Zaukox, you are screwed…accept it
[04:31] <Zaukox> ok, Ben64 ,why we are not able to reduce that!?
[04:31] <happymonkey> Zaukox: buy a new hdd
[04:31] <Ben64> Zaukox: because it is physically bad

[04:32] <Zaukox> ok, how come that powered on time is 53,5 days??
[04:32] <cipher__> happymonkey: will do
[04:32] <Zaukox> Ben64: and low format will fix that or not?
[04:33] <Ben64> Zaukox: thats already been answered many many times, no.

[04:34] <footofthehare> I just installed an nvidia card in my uncles computer and I ran nvidia-xconfig, and rebooted, now all i get is a blinking screen that alternated between blank and what looks like a terminal log in

[04:34] <urlin2u> !nomodeset > footofthehare
[04:34] <yq_> hi all
[04:34] <happymonkey> footofthehare: you need to boot into non X mode
[04:35] <happymonkey> footofthehare: it should be the second option available in grub
[04:35] <Zaukox> !badsectors
[04:35] <happymonkey> Zaukox: :)
[04:35] <Zaukox> lol
[04:35] <Zaukox> nothing?
[04:35] <Zaukox> oh
[04:35] <footofthehare> how do i see the grub
[04:35] <urlin2u> Zaukox, try #hardrive-miracles  :D
[04:35] <Zaukox> ubottu: idk about that :(
[04:36] <happymonkey> footofthehare: good question, what version of Ubuntu do you have installed?
[04:36] <cipher__> happymonkey: i am not too dogmatic about my distro -- i am a fluxbox and terminal guy -- would you honestly say there are other distros with much more compatability on major machines other than ubuntu? I wouldn't mind trying an alt. even as much as i do enjoy ubuntu..
[04:36] <footofthehare> I think his is 10.4 the lts
[04:36] <Zaukox> urlin2u:  lol, a nothing channel
[04:36] <happymonkey> cipher__: I use Arch but I'm not too dogmatic either
[04:37] <GhostWolf> hi does anyone know what the site for themes for ubuntu? i can't remember it but there were only like maybe around 7 or so themes for ubuntu but don't remember the site
[04:37] <happymonkey> cipher__: I don't think that my distro. would help you much because the hardware in your lappi appears to be rather difficult for kernel/X to deal with at this time
[04:37] <Zaukox> ok, readerror rate is: 9505632
[04:37] <cipher__> happymonkey, okY
[04:37] <Zaukox> is that bad?
[04:37] <cipher__> okay*
[04:38] <cipher__> give me 10 hours, it'll boot by then :p
[04:38] <happymonkey> cipher__: right on
[04:38] <cipher__> (or i will have bricked it through grub)
[04:38] <cipher__> :p
[04:38] <happymonkey> cipher__: just dig into the hardware you have and see what can be done
[04:38] <happymonkey> :P
[04:38] <Zaukox> hey!
[04:39] <cipher__> well, i will see you on the other side.
[04:39] <happymonkey> cipher__: :D
[04:39] <happymonkey> cipher__: yes!
[04:39] <happymonkey> owell the most important part is to enjoy
[04:40] <Zaukox> ok so?
[04:40] <Zaukox> im out of ideas :((
[04:41] <GhostWolf> does anyone here know the site to download original ubuntu themes?
[04:43] <Zaukox> hellooooo!!

[04:46] <Zaukox> lowkie: ok, ubuntu is clean
[04:47] <cabpa> hello. this is just a suggestion if gnome could include or integrate the package x-tile in gnome so that we can arrange/tile our opened windows
[04:47] <lowkie> Zaukox, nice
[04:47] <GhostWolf> so can any of you help me? i'll ask my question once again, i know theres a site that has ubuntu themes that you can download it only has a like 7 or so themes. do any of you know the site?
[04:48] <Zaukox> and, why the sector stuff is climbing?
[04:48] <happymonkey> GhostWolf: I don't want to help you, why do you want to be like Windows 7
[04:48] <happymonkey> ?
[04:48] <Zaukox> now it went from 66 to 133 bad sectors
[04:48] <happymonkey> That's so retarded
[04:48] <happymonkey> I can't even engage
[04:48] <GhostWolf> what happyface?
[04:48] <lowkie> Zaukox, cuz your hard drive is upset with you for voiding the warranty
[04:48] <GhostWolf> i mean happymonkey
[04:48] <xangua> GhostWolf: gnome-look.org
[04:48] <Zaukox> lol, sure? i don't think so...
[04:48] <GhostWolf> xangua, i believe thats the site let me check
[04:49] <happymonkey> GhostWolf: yes that's the site
[04:49] <Zaukox> can i really trust SMART info???
[04:49] <GhostWolf> no thats not it, its a different site than that.
[04:49] <happymonkey> GhostWolf: it's been the site for more than 8 years
[04:49] <Zaukox> ubuntu-themes.org?
[04:49] <GhostWolf> happymonkey, thats not the one im talking about
[04:49] <Zaukox> ubuntu-look.org ??
[04:49] <Zaukox> maybe>
[04:49] <pnorman> If you're having errors reading/writing to disk and smart is reporting problems, you can be pretty sure you've got problems.
[04:49] <happymonkey> GhostWolf: why not use a theme that's more original?
[04:49] <|Anthony|> Using ubuntu 10.04 64bit. How can i change the default audio input device?

[04:50] <happymonkey> GhostWolf: ok
[04:50] <GhostWolf> Zaukox, that site doesn't exist
[04:51] <pfifo> Does ubuntu have an appliction for issuing commands by voice?
[04:51] <Zaukox> lowkie:  pnorman: can i safely update system now the ubuntu fs is clean??
[04:51] <GhostWolf> xangua, thats not the site i remember what it looks like it has only a select amount not alot of themes
[04:51] <Zaukox> lol GhostWolf yea, idk :P
[04:52] <GhostWolf> the site has themes like overglossed theme
[04:52] <lowkie> Zaukox, backup first…then do whatever you like
[04:52] <Zaukox> why lol , i don't bakup lowkie
[04:53] <lowkie> Zaukox, I see lots of live cds in your future
[04:53] <Zaukox> why read error rate is good even if non-zero vaule? lowkie
[04:53] <pfifo> the best backup solution is a setup that doesnt require backup
[04:54] <Zaukox> pfifo: how's that?
[04:54] <Zaukox> mirroring for example?
[04:54] <GhostWolf> ah well i found it. btw does anyone here deal with facebook games or zynga games?

[05:05] <MrFixIt> howdy
[05:07] <quuxman> I have a pretty straightforward apt question that's been very difficult to google: how do I query all the packages installed that are in a given release (like oneiric vs natty)
[05:08] <quuxman> I tried to do a dist-upgrade to oneiric, but it broke my sound and video completely, so I downgraded back to natty, but there are still a bunch of packages from oneiric that are causing all sorts of dependency hell
[05:09] <xangua> quuxman: if you want natty back you would have to do a clean install
[05:09] <xangua> downgrade is Not supported
[05:09] <quuxman> xangua: I've already manually removed almost all the problem packages.  How do you search by "category"?
[05:12] <quuxman> Syph3r: and that searches all packages, not just ones installed
[05:12] <Syph3r> you said it broke your video and sound try a number of sound apps or video apps

[05:55] <pfifo> what is the difference between utc and gmt?

[06:06] <elpiratedechron> hey I know this is a stupid question but I haven't been using linux lately and am giving an old computer to a friend.. But I need to remove some stuff off of it first like passwords/steam games etc(I have a dual boot set up) but I no longer have the vga cable I used to use on this computer to hook it up to my 42" LCD.. it supports 1360x768 thru vga max and now all I have is a dvi-hdmi adapter... which DOESN'T support that
[06:06] <elpiratedechron> resolution.. so when I tried to boot into windows to clean stuff up it wouldn't work.. this is the only "Monitor" I have now and no vga cable... I was wondering if someone could remind me what I can do to change the resolution in windows using ubuntu.. I tried booting to safe mode but found that the damn drivers for my wireless mouse/keyboard fail to load and as you might guess.. they are my only mouse/keyboard atm... sooo
[06:06] <elpiratedechron>  any ideas?
[06:06] <FloodBot1> elpiratedechron: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:08] <elpiratedechron> I don't mean to be a dick...and maybe I'm just in a bad mood....but screw you floodBOT :p
[06:08] <elpiratedechron> I know he's a bot.. I like talking to myself though
[06:08] <urlin2u> elpiratedechron, I don't think you can change the resolution in windows from ubuntu.
[06:08] <elpiratedechron> damn...
[06:09] <TiMiDo> elpiratedechron, please behave
[06:09] <elpiratedechron> it's a nvidia card... there's no file I can delete to force it to go to default 800x600 or something?
[06:10] <urlin2u> elpiratedechron, what is the ubuntu release, there is a dis0ply app for resolutions.
[06:10] <urlin2u> display*
[06:10] <urlin2u> or monitores
[06:10] <elpiratedechron> urlin2u: you did read I'm not trying to change unbuntu resolution
[06:10] <elpiratedechron> trying to change windows resolution on a dual boot
[06:10] <urlin2u> elpiratedechron, youneed ##windows then
[06:10] <elpiratedechron> .........
[06:11] <LoRdRapTuReZ> hi all
[06:11] <elpiratedechron> I think you fail to see the issue... I can't boot into windows normally because the resolution I was using isn't compatiable with HDMI mode for my ONLY monitor which is a 42" lcd
[06:11] <LoRdRapTuReZ> anyone supports?
[06:11] <LoRdRapTuReZ> i need help on my ubuntu server
[06:11] <elpiratedechron> and my mouse/keyboard drivers won't load in safe mode
[06:11] <urlin2u> elpiratedechron, this is ubuntu support not my rules.
[06:12] <elpiratedechron> I'm using unbuntu 10.04 right now
[06:12] <elpiratedechron> dual boot
[06:12] <elpiratedechron> guess I didn't make that clear enough :)
[06:12] <LoRdRapTuReZ> elpiratedechron.... need help from you
[06:12] <elpiratedechron> I might be able to help... but I'm rusty on my linux right now
[06:12] <urlin2u> elpiratedechron, but your problem is windows go to their channel lots of great help there.
[06:13] <LoRdRapTuReZ> i just install ubuntu 10.04 server
[06:13] <LoRdRapTuReZ> the purpose are to make a file server but its seems to be doesnt help
[06:13] <elpiratedechron> I guess... but since I can't interface at all using safe mode... and since I cna't see anything with normal boot....
[06:13] <Flannel> elpiratedechron: You should ask in ##windows, there may be some boot file tweaking that you can force a particular resolution
[06:13] <arathald> well, it turns out that the problem was that ubuntu was mishandling my hdmi out. pulling out the cable and resetting lightdm fixed the problem
[06:14] <urlin2u> elpiratedechron, if it has a recovery partition I would recover it anyway even if going to a friend.
[06:14] <LoRdRapTuReZ> how to configure static ip in ubuntu 10.04 server and save it.
[06:14] <elpiratedechron> I was hoping I could do some trickery using linux.. clearly you dont' have any ideas but thanks anyway.. :) I'm sure there IS a way but you just dont' seem to know it.. and I'm pretty sure if I ask here and the other linux channels I'm in somebody will have a solution... I really doubt that the windows people will be able to help :)
[06:14] <elpiratedechron> It doesn't
[06:14] <elpiratedechron> it's a custom build
[06:15] <arathald> elpiratedechron: the only trickery using linux is accessing windows files. anything beyond that is a windows issue
[06:15] <msterbrewer> im having a strange bug with my sansa clip when i put music on it from my linux computer
[06:15] <msterbrewer> it will play the files
[06:15] <Flannel> elpiratedechron: The "way" would be to tweak whatever windows boot files, but knowing what to tweak in them is 100% a ##windows question.
[06:15] <msterbrewer> but when i connect it to a windows pc it shows the files arent there
[06:15] <elpiratedechron> arahald: I know that's why I was hoping there was a text file I could edit to change it but now that I think about it it's probably stored in a reg key
[06:15] <LoRdRapTuReZ> how to configure static ip in ubuntu 10.04 server and save it. can anyone help me on this?
[06:15] <elpiratedechron> so I could use wine to load them and edit them :)
[06:15] <elpiratedechron> I'll look into that thanks arathald :D
[06:16] <arathald> ...
[06:16] <LoRdRapTuReZ> how to configure static ip in ubuntu 10.04 server and save it. can anyone help me on this?
[06:16] <elpiratedechron> LoRdRapTuReZ: do you have a gui installed?
[06:16] <LoRdRapTuReZ> nope
[06:17] <elpiratedechron> hmmmm.. I don't remember off the top of my head.. hang on...
[06:17] <LoRdRapTuReZ> ok

[06:18] <elpiratedechron> a few posts down it has the terminal commands for setting up static ip :)
[06:18] <almoxarife> elpiratedechron: access a ntfs partion from ubuntu is simple, and plinking within it is as simple, making changes to a ntfs partions files is also as simple, so it does come down to your win prowess and the ubuntu tools to do it with.
[06:18] <LoRdRapTuReZ> let me try and get back to you
[06:18] <LoRdRapTuReZ> thanks
[06:18] <LoRdRapTuReZ> elpiratedechron
[06:19] <elpiratedechron> almoxarife: i already can access the drive.. I know how to do that.. I just didn't know if there was a file but now that I thoght about it.. I'm 99% sure the resolution is stored in a registry key.. and I know how to edit them using wine
[06:19] <elpiratedechron> so I think I"m good :)
[06:19] <almoxarife> elpiratedechron: that would be a win issue

[06:27] <elpiratedechron> almoxarife: I don't think you read my original post carefully enough. :) I can't boot the windows partition becuase the resolution I was using last time I used this computer isnt' supported by my only monitor.. and safe mode wont' load the drivers for the only wireless mouse/keyboard I have.. but since I have a dual boot I was hoping I could do somethign in linux since I was able to edit xorg.conf using the terminal and bo
[06:27] <elpiratedechron> ot to linux.. I don't want to come off as unappricative but it seems you're just trying to prove you're smarter then me or something... If you don't have a solution that's fine.. as I said as soon as I go out and smoke a cig and take a dump I'm doing this: http://forums.techarena.in/monitor-video-cards/1186512.htm .. which will involve using wine to load my reg keys and change the resolution USING LINUX!!! What I posted is
[06:27] <elpiratedechron>  a valid solution to my problem... it is exactly the kind of response I was hoping for here.. Not some condescending response that it's a "windows issue" :) so thanks again but, again not to come off as unappreciative but get over yourself :)
[06:27] <FloodBot1> elpiratedechron: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:27] <urlin2u> TRAVISg_, you can actualy move that wubi to a actual partition as of now it s a file in windows.
[06:28] <urlin2u> elpiratedechron, waitv let me check the world does not revolve around your selfish needs.
[06:29] <ActionParsnip> elpiratedechron: ubuntu doesn't use 'reg keys'...
[06:29] <urlin2u> TRAVISg_, here is the link for moving the wubi. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1519354
[06:29] <TRAVISg_> urlin2u, is that so? I mean do you suggest just running a fresh install I could on that machine it has only been in use for a few days.
[06:29]  * elpiratedechron facepalm
[06:30] <elpiratedechron> ActionParsnip: Please read what I posted above...
[06:30] <ActionParsnip> elpiratedechron: I don'tsee that, sorry. Are you working in Wine per chance?
[06:30] <elpiratedechron> ActionParsnip: exactly what I was going to do :)
[06:30] <elpiratedechron> I thought of that myself after coming here and posting... I haven't used linux in a good while so I forgot if there was a simple way to change windows resolution using linux :)
[06:31] <urlin2u> TRAVISg_, your choice wubi is not a long term use designated per the developer.  http://howsoftwareisbuilt.com/2009/03/12/interview-with-agostino-russo-wubi-ubuntu/
[06:31] <ActionParsnip> elpiratedechron: you can set resolutions in winecfg
[06:31] <TRAVISg_> urlin2u, thanx I'll check it out. that's strange to me that it is just a file because I am getting the boot options at startup then at grub before I ever get to xp splash
[06:31] <elpiratedechron> there must be a way if it's not in a text file it's in a reg key... I HIGHLY doubt windows encrypts or otherwise hides whatever stores your resolution :)
[06:32] <elpiratedechron> ActionParsnip: exactly what I thought.. Thank you.. If +rep existed here I'd totally give you one :D
[06:32] <ActionParsnip> elpiratedechron: np man, just be cool :)
[06:32] <elpiratedechron> ... and -1 from almoxarife :p
[06:32] <TRAVISg_> urlin2u, yeah it is a testdrive I have got my girlfriend testing the waters I'll get her switched over:)
[06:32] <urlin2u> TRAVISg_, grub when booting before a XP ubuntu choice?
[06:32] <ActionParsnip> elpiratedechron: you can setup a virtual desktop in winecfg which your apps will run in and you can set the res there. I had to do that to get Postal2 to run
[06:34] <TRAVISg_> urlin2u, no boot choice between xp and ubuntu. which now that you say it is windows huh? I am fairly new myself.
[06:34] <TRAVISg_> urlin2u you know what they say you want to learn something teach it
[06:35] <thechad90000> Does anyone know how I can customize my Gnome 3 Ubuntu desktop. I just got it and I don't know where to go to find cool themes and what not.
[06:35] <hexacode> hey you guys. i need some help with ubuntu. I use a netbook and it has a small screen. and some programs need me to stretch the window but i cant stretch it past a certain point. Eclipse for example requires that when i create a new class, i have to click on some other buttons on the gui, but i cant even see the buttons because they dont fit on screen
[06:35] <LoRdRapTuReZ> elpiratedechron. i manage to setup my fixed ip on the ubuntu but when i restart my server or when i enter " sudo ifdown eth0 and sudo ifup eth0" its still goes to the dhcp... how to make it permenanatly
[06:36] <metaspike> hexacode: you mean increase the window size?
[06:36] <metaspike> cant you just maximize it or something?
[06:37] <LoRdRapTuReZ> metaspike....
[06:37] <LoRdRapTuReZ> can u help me on this?
[06:37] <hexacode> metaspike: i maximize it but some portions need me to stretch the window more vertically
[06:37] <LoRdRapTuReZ> i manage to setup my fixed ip on the ubuntu but when i restart my server or when i enter " sudo ifdown eth0 and sudo ifup eth0" its still goes to the dhcp... how to make it permenanatly
[06:37] <hexacode> and i cant stretch it past a certain point because the mouse gets to the end of the screen
[06:38] <metaspike> LoRdRapTuReZ: well, first step would be to disable any dhcp clientstuff from interfering, dhcpd for instance.
[06:38] <metaspike> you could use bum or rcconf for that.
[06:38] <ActionParsnip> hexacode: you can use ALT to drag a window from ANY point
[06:38] <LoRdRapTuReZ> commands??
[06:38] <hexacode> thanks ActionParsnip  i think thats what i need
[06:39] <intok> anyone got experience with HFS+? I accidentally reformatted my usb flash to HFS+ on a Mac I was selling, now on Ubuntu I can read the flash, every file checks fine, but I cannot write to it anymore and it wont reformat with GParted to Fat32
[06:39] <skilz> Why when I do 'sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade' if I login to a tty console it shows security updates and such availible?
[06:39] <ActionParsnip> LoRdRapTuReZ: you can use /etc/network/interfaces  to manually define it with a config file, or install wicd-curses    and you will get a nice curses based GUI to configure interfaces
[06:39] <skilz> Why is aptitude not updating?
[06:39] <ActionParsnip> skilz: can you ping <IP_ADDRESS>?
[06:39] <metaspike> LoRdRapTuReZ: what ActionParsnip said.
[06:39] <ActionParsnip> skilz: is apt-get any different (just to test)?
[06:39] <urlin2u> intok, the usb mounted in gparted when you try to format it?
[06:39] <LoRdRapTuReZ> ok
[06:40] <LoRdRapTuReZ> will it works on ubuntu 10.04 server ?
[06:40] <ActionParsnip> LoRdRapTuReZ: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/
[06:40] <thechad90000> Sorry to ask again but I'm really looking for a good place to find themes for Gnome3 desktop and Ubuntu 11.10. Any help would be great.
[06:40] <skilz> ActionParsnip: What do you mean is apt-get and different?
[06:40] <ActionParsnip> LoRdRapTuReZ: the interfaces file works on all linuxes, even worked on Mandrake 7 back in 2000/2001
[06:40] <skilz> and of course I can ping googles dns server
[06:40] <LoRdRapTuReZ> ok
[06:40] <metaspike> intok: it's probably being automounted or such, there's always sudo cfdisk <be careful though>
[06:41] <LoRdRapTuReZ> installing it now ....
[06:41] <ActionParsnip> skilz: try:  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade      is it different?
[06:41] <LoRdRapTuReZ> and how to activate it? or is it run by default
[06:41] <skilz> Oh yeah I done that also but still says updates availible
[06:41] <ActionParsnip> LoRdRapTuReZ: activate what?
[06:42] <ActionParsnip> skilz: can you pastebin the output please
[06:42] <LoRdRapTuReZ> how to on GUI mode after install it
[06:42] <intok>  urlin2u metaspike GParted sees it, will let me go through the usual setup of whipeing and formatting a drive
[06:43] <urlin2u> intok, you see a little key icon on the usb?
[06:43] <urlin2u> in gparted intok
[06:44] <hot_wheelz> I have a question with regard to http://www.ubuntu.com/tv
[06:44] <ActionParsnip> LoRdRapTuReZ: wicd-curses gives a text based UI, so no need for GUI...
[06:44] <hot_wheelz> i'm guessing it could become like an officailly suppported mythtv distro right?
[06:44] <ActionParsnip> LoRdRapTuReZ: I thought you were on server?
[06:44] <hot_wheelz> but built into tv's
[06:45] <hot_wheelz> Correct
[06:45] <urlin2u> hot_wheelz, lol if you say so.
[06:45] <metaspike> hot_wheelz: just plug your computer into TV :)
[06:45] <ActionParsnip> hot_wheelz: it possibly could, why not
[06:46] <ActionParsnip> hot_wheelz: there is a PPA for the TV interface if you want it, there is a how to on omgubuntu...
[06:46] <ActionParsnip> metaspike: +1
[06:47] <hot_wheelz> ActionParsnip url to article please
[06:47] <ActionParsnip> hot_wheelz: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/01/how-to-install-ubuntu-tv-right-now-via-ppa/
[06:47] <hot_wheelz> ActionParsnip thanks man
[06:47] <ActionParsnip> hot_wheelz: all you had to search for was: ubuntu tv ppa
[06:47] <seshagiri> Hey... I just want to know whether there is any MYSQL-C++ connector for Linux which supports Ubuntu 11.10 32 bit? I have come across few like mysqlcppapi, SQLC++ API etc.. But none of them are working for the latest version of Ubuntu. Any idea?
[06:48] <skilz> How do I stop checking /dev/sda1 for errors at next boot, it does it every boot
[06:48] <ActionParsnip> skilz: usually means the file system isn't healthy. I'd check it fully in liveCD
[06:49] <intok> urlin2u tosses this error http://pastebin.com/3p9AZjAc
[06:49] <skilz> how?
[06:49] <skilz> ActionParsnip: It's an old IBM Thinkpad G4 Pentium 4, so not much I can do about it really..
[06:50] <skilz> G40
[06:50] <ActionParsnip> skilz: boot to liveCD then read:  man fsck    you can then tell the checker to check the partition and repair the errors
[06:50] <ActionParsnip> skilz: the model of system is irrelevant
[06:50] <urlin2u> intok, honestly you are yet to answer my questions, so I quit.
[06:54] <intok> urlin2u Oh, I don't see a lock, just an orange square with what looks like a comic strip voice bubble, but the image it otherwise too small
[06:55] <virtuaposta> this might not be right place to post this but if anyone faced this issue : I have configured openvpn+openldap using openvpn-auth-ldap, but while connecting from client, server complains that user not found. Any guidance please. Here are the logs : http://pastebin.com/dJtzbMJx
[06:57] <urlin2u> intok, can you take a screen shot of gparted and put it in imagebin.  http://imagebin.org/index.php?page=add
[06:58] <LoRdRapTuReZ> ActionParsnip.... i can edit but once its ask to press f10 (ok) and i reboot its stills goes to DHCP ip
[06:59] <ActionParsnip> LoRdRapTuReZ: did you add:   iface eth0 inet static    as the 2nd line detailing the interface?
[06:59] <ActionParsnip> LoRdRapTuReZ: I assume wired connection
[07:00] <LoRdRapTuReZ> but when i run wicd-curses ( its says that its connected to my fixed ip)
[07:02] <ActionParsnip> LoRdRapTuReZ: what does ifconfig   show?
[07:02] <LoRdRapTuReZ> its shows my fixed ip
[07:02] <LoRdRapTuReZ> but once i restart my server
[07:03] <osmosis> is there a way for me to make alt-tab immediate, instead of showing me icons?
[07:03] <LoRdRapTuReZ> its shows my dhcp ip
[07:04] <LoRdRapTuReZ> commands to disable the dhcp ??
[07:04] <LoRdRapTuReZ> ActionParsnip
[07:07] <ActionParsnip> LoRdRapTuReZ: dude, I'd use the interfaces file, its far easier
[07:07] <ActionParsnip> LoRdRapTuReZ: plus you won't have to start the wicd service, making the OS leaner
[07:09] <ActionParsnip> LoRdRapTuReZ: you will need to specify the DNS servers manually if you use static IP
[07:13] <skilz> How can I auto mount and unmount '/dev/sda1 /mnt/media' on boot and reboot/shutdown?
[07:14] <skilz> I've been using 'gksu mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/media' in the .fluxbox/startup file but I think it isn't unmounting propperly on shutdown
[07:16] <anand> hello i performed an update and after that i am unable to login into my ubuntu system is there any way i can rollback to previous state???plz reply soon
[07:16] <skilz> anand: Frankly, no.

[07:20] <skilz> Whats the line I should add in fstab
[07:20] <styelz> anand: to start the server use stop lightdm or start lightdm    if you are running 11.10

[07:29] <Swarnava> can anyone tell me how to install ubuntu on top of Windows 7
[07:29] <Swarnava> with dual booting and without partition
[07:30] <overclucker> !wubi
[07:30] <Swarnava> i have ubuntu cd already
[07:31] <Swarnava> overclucker: but i need the step
[07:32] <urlin2u> Swarnava, if you want a real dual boot it has to be partitioned, wubi is a file in windows.
[07:33] <Swarnava> i have 3 drive
[07:33] <Swarnava> C D and E
[07:33] <Swarnava> in C, i have installed Windows 7
[07:33] <Swarnava> and D is completely blank where i want to install ubuntu
[07:34] <urlin2u> Swarnava, are you sure thise are drives and not partitions?
[07:34] <urlin2u> those*
[07:34] <skilz> If I want /dev/sda1 to mount to /mnt/media on boot and unmount on shutdown/reboot, what line do I need to add to /etc/fstab ?
[07:35] <Swarnava> urlin2u: yes
[07:35] <sm0gg> C: will always be the name of the drive/partition the os boots from
[07:35] <Swarnava> i dont understand what are you trying to saying drive/partition, but those are ok
[07:35] <Swarnava> i had file on c
[07:35] <Swarnava> sorry D*
[07:36] <overclucker> skilz: what filesystem is on that partition?
[07:36] <Swarnava> i move them to my external HDD
[07:36] <llutz_> skilz: "/dev/sda1 /mnt/media  ext4 defaults 0 0"         if it's ext4-fs, you could use "UUID=xxx" instead of /dev/sda1, get UUID from "blkid"
[07:36] <nc__> Goodmorning
[07:36] <Swarnava> now what?
[07:36] <urlin2u> Swarnava, drive=hard drive a partition is a area in a drive they are not the same.
[07:37] <Swarnava> urlin2u: i have partitioned
[07:37] <Swarnava> 59GB free out of 64 gb
[07:37] <Swarnava> in D
[07:37] <urlin2u> Swarnava, you have the windows backed up?
[07:38] <Swarnava> urlin2u: nope
[07:38] <sm0gg> umm, might wanna do that before hand
[07:39] <ublinux> looking for audio driver for ubuntu need realtek alc8888 driver

[07:45] <ublinux> what do you mean urlin2u
[07:45] <urlin2u> ublinux, not really, the key to this channel are details and you have given a start, it is a bit slow right now, but about the time when great helpers come on.
[07:45] <Swarnava> urlin2u: how to backup? you mean copy all important document to removal Media?
[07:45] <pfifo> you know what ubuntu needs? every 24 hours of uptime it automatically adds another workspace!
[07:46] <urlin2u> Swarnava, W7 has a built in imager you can make a copy of the whole thing to a set of dvd's.
[07:46] <edo> test!
[07:46] <Swarnava> urlin2u: how?
[07:46] <urlin2u> Swarnava, go to backups
[07:46] <ublinux> i just need a download and install fix, can anyone help, or do i have to manually do it
[07:47] <Swarnava> urlin2u: backup and restore?
[07:47] <edo> sorry, adakah orang indonesia disini??
[07:47] <Ayu> edo: ada
[07:47] <ublinux> is that what you are talking about urlin2u
[07:48] <edo> dimana?
[07:48] <urlin2u> Swarnava, if you have a W7 pro or the next relese ultimate or whatever you can image the OS to  HD as many times as you want.
[07:48] <Ayu> edo: Bandung
[07:48] <edo> salam kenal..
[07:48] <Ayu> u?
[07:48] <Swarnava> urlin2u: i have ultimate, and i have W7 too
[07:48] <edo> ane pekanbaru.
[07:48] <ublinux> what is your suggestion ?
[07:48] <Swarnava> urlin2u: DVD
[07:48] <urlin2u> Swarnava, yea backup and restore left side of gui has a full imgae choice
[07:48] <Ayu> edo: salam kenal juga :)
[07:49] <edo> yups.., sering kesini ya?
[07:49] <mordof> trying to find an IME to switch my qwerty to use dvorak for a bit - anyone know how? checked synaptic and couldn't find anything. my IME list doesn't have much either :\
[07:49] <Swarnava> urlin2u: does it also backup other drive or only windows data
[07:49] <Swarnava> ?
[07:49] <Ayu> edo: okay
[07:50] <ublinux> what is the best way to fix this problem
[07:51] <Ayu> edo: mksdnya "baru masuk hari ini nih" hehe
[07:51] <llutz_> !en | ayu edo
[07:52] <Ayu> llutz_: okay, so sorry
[07:52] <ActionParsnip> ublinux: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh; chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh; ./alsa-info.sh
[07:52] <edo> ayu, ya ane juga pertama kali...
[07:53] <edo> llutz, sorry bro...
[07:53] <urlin2u> Swarnava, when I said ultimate I meant the next higher W7 release after pro. If you have W7 pro or ultimate you can save multiple partitions and drives
[07:53] <ublinux> dont know
[07:54] <Swarnava> urlin2u: save to where?
[07:54] <Swarnava> removal media?
[07:54] <urlin2u> Swarnava, a HD
[07:54] <ActionParsnip> ublinux: its a big terminal command, run it and select to upload to the server, it will generate a URL. What is the URL? Of course you won't know the output, its massive and complex
[07:55] <ublinux> dont understand. Sorry.
[07:55] <Swarnava> !seen arrbee
[07:55] <ActionParsnip> urlin2u: like make an image, or copy data 1-to-1
[07:55] <ActionParsnip> ublinux: have you ever used terminal, to type commands??
[07:55] <urlin2u> ActionParsnip, it is a full image clone
[07:56] <Swarnava> urlin2u: is there any chance to remove all my hDD Data?
[07:56] <Swarnava> :O
[07:56] <ActionParsnip> urlin2u: I see, linux has had that for years...Windows only just caught up ;)
[07:56] <urlin2u> ActionParsnip, the user wants to install ubuntu I was hoping to get them backed up.
[07:57] <ublinux> ok, are you asking for a copy of my cd that came with my motherboard to send you?
[07:57] <ActionParsnip> urlin2u: makes sense, Win7 can also resize its own partitions but backing up before is wise
[07:57] <ActionParsnip> ublinux: when did I ever mention a CD?
[07:58] <ublinux> sorry. did not know what you are asking
[07:58] <ActionParsnip> ublinux: copy the long command I gave, open a terminal and paste the command in, hit ENTER and the script will download and run, press Y to upload to the server and a URL will be generated. You can then paste that URL in here
[07:59] <urlin2u> Swarnava, when you say remove all your media you mean by mistake?
[08:00] <ublinux> very sorry still dont understand.
[08:00] <Swarnava> urlin2u: no they give me the list to choose which drive i want to install? :O
[08:00] <urlin2u> Swarnava, you have lost me and it is late here, so I will let others help. :D
[08:00] <auronandace> ActionParsnip: you sure he isn't doing that on purpose? your instructions are very clear
[08:01] <llutz_> ublinux: what is your native language?
[08:02] <ublinux> auronandace, i am not swavay with linux or its command line
[08:02] <ublinux> llutz, english
[08:02] <llutz_> oh
[08:02] <ActionParsnip> ublinux: its a copy and paste, that's all
[08:02] <ActionParsnip> ublinux: you can copy and paste text,right....
[08:03] <ublinux> i know copy and paste, but what info are you requestin and what will it do?
[08:03] <ActionParsnip> ublinux: its nothing to do with being savvy with ubuntu. I'm sure you can copy and paste text
[08:03] <ActionParsnip> ublinux: it will give us the sound information of your system
[08:03] <mordof> nevermind... i found it..
[08:04] <mordof> painful
[08:04] <ActionParsnip> mordof: sometimes stuff is hidden or hard in many OSes
[08:05] <mordof> ActionParsnip: no, i'm using the dvorak layout at the moment
[08:06] <mordof> ActionParsnip: it's just painfully slow for me until i get used to it, lol
[08:07] <ActionParsnip> mordof: the new keyboard layout, you mean?
[08:07] <mordof> ActionParsnip: yes
[08:08] <ActionParsnip> mordof: sounds painful indeed
[08:08] <urlin2u> ActionParsnip, generally I use clonezilla though it saves the mbr, I hardly use my W7 except for doing uplaods to my colleges online class stuff, it wont read linux.
[08:08] <mordof> ActionParsnip: i've swithced over to dvorak
[08:08] <DarkCold> I used ubuntu... untell I TOOK AN ARROW TO DAH KNEE!!!!
[08:08] <ActionParsnip> urlin2u: whatever works dude :)
[08:09] <mordof> ActionParsnip: i heard it was better
[08:09] <ActionParsnip> mordof: better how?
[08:09] <Peppe__> Hi, I have managed to F***Up my grafics drivers in ubuntu. I had a problem with ubuntu not detecting higer resolutions than 640x480 for my new Marantz AV receiver, so I got a bit carried away and removed the the current nvidia drivers in synaptic, (and rebboted). Now i obviosly don't have any driver for my grafics card, is there an easy way to completely reinstall the default ubuntu grafics drivers, so i can start from a clean slate?
[08:10] <mordof> ActionParsnip: less limitations once you're used to it.  it won't slow you down as much.
[08:10] <ActionParsnip> Peppe__: what is the output of:   sudo lshw -C display; lsb_release -a     please use http://pastie.org   to host the output (or similar)
[08:11] <ActionParsnip> mordof: I use a tonne of shortcuts, scripts and aliases, makes typing faster
[08:11] <mordof> ActionParsnip: yeah same
[08:11] <mordof> ActionParsnip: but that still has it's limits
[08:12] <ActionParsnip> seems fine here :)
[08:12] <mordof> ActionParsnip: what's your WPM?
[08:12] <ublinux> give me the text to copy and paste again please and we will try it.
[08:13] <ublinux> got terminal open
[08:13] <ActionParsnip> mordof: lastI checked (about 10 years ago, was about 24 or some)
[08:13] <ActionParsnip> ublinux: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh; chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh; ./alsa-info.sh
[08:13] <mordof> o.o
[08:13] <mordof> ActionParsnip: .. really?
[08:13] <mordof> and you think it's still near that?
[08:14] <ActionParsnip> mordof: not sure, I don't type long pieces of text much nowadays
[08:14] <mordof> ActionParsnip: ah, alright then
[08:14] <mordof> ActionParsnip: well in that case, it's not that pertinent for you to switch xD
[08:14] <mordof> ActionParsnip: (switched back to qwerty for the conversation, lol)
[08:14] <ublinux> i did it and it said no such file
[08:14] <mordof> ActionParsnip: that was just.. painful.. but i want to learn it anyhow
[08:14] <ActionParsnip> mordof: I launch my browser by typing:  chr   and it runs, that sort of thing
[08:15] <mordof> ActionParsnip: ah
[08:15] <Peppe__> ActionParsnip I'm currently at work, I was hopping that you could run something like, remover xorg/drivers etc and then use apt-get to reinstall default ones, i.e to get back to default ubuntu drivers. (Could you enable additional drivers from commandline?)
[08:15] <mordof> ActionParsnip: most things are faster for me to type them in full because i don't have my brain programmed for the shortcuts
[08:15] <osmosis> any git experts around?i just did a   git add myfile;   git commit -m 'a msg';     and now myfile has disappeared. nowhere to be found
[08:15] <ActionParsnip> ublinux: ok try: wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/alsa-info.sh; chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh; ./alsa-info.sh
[08:15] <osmosis> git filter-branch --tree-filter 'rm get_flo.py' HEAD; git add get_flo.py; git add get_flo_privateinfo.py; git commit -m 'adding files'
[08:15] <ublinux> tell me what to type in terminal
[08:15] <mordof> ActionParsnip: i'm capped out at about 110WPM average, dvorak is supposed to make key transitions easier
[08:16] <mordof> ActionParsnip: hence why i want to learn it
[08:16] <ActionParsnip> Peppe__: if you can give the output of the command, we can advise
[08:16] <ActionParsnip> mordof: makes sense
[08:17] <Peppe__> ActionParsnip, okay, I will have to get back to you later, I don't curently have access to the computer..
[08:17] <karash_l> ftp://ajax:ajaxajax@shellmix.com:60/
[08:17] <ron> hi. I know this is not strictly an ubuntu question, but maybe someone could assist. lately my computer gets stuck fairly often, not entirely sure why (running ubuntu 11.10). there's no way to switch to a different terminal, and I can't connect to the computer remotely. I suspect this could be due to faulty hardware but I'm not sure. are there any tools that can assist me to find out what goes wrong?
[08:17] <ActionParsnip> Peppe__: I'd suggest you try:  sudo apt-get install nvidia-current    as a first call
[08:17] <karash_l> ups
[08:18] <ActionParsnip> ron: I'd test RAM first. You may be able to press CTRL+ALT+F1 and log in there if it is only the X server which has hung
[08:19] <ron> ActionParsnip: no, like I said, I can't switch to a different terminal, the computer is completely unresponsive.
[08:19] <ActionParsnip> ron: test RAM is a good first move then
[08:19] <ActionParsnip> ublinux: output something like this: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=cd396c8cb9d1a70d76a5c9f43ad1449aa1c31540
[08:21] <Peppe__> ActionParsnip, thanks i will try it. One more thing, i guess that apt-get install nvidia-current will give my x-swat version of nvidia, has this repo is enabled in synaptic. I would really like to try the additional/restricted drivers that comes with ubuntu 11.10, can i install these from commandline as well?
[08:22] <skypent> I'm having trouble with ggnfs giving me errors (when i'm pretty sure I have all the prereqs) with a make command.  Wondering if anyone experience with msieve/ggnfs could help me out with this one.
[08:22] <ActionParsnip> Peppe__: not by default, if you added the ppa then yes
[08:22] <ublinux> i did it and nothing
[08:22] <ublinux> what now?
[08:24] <ron> ActionParsnip: sorry, my computer hang right when I was here.. and my bouncer is on that computer. now connected directly instead.
[08:24] <ublinux> need audio driver for ubuntu, realtek alc8888
[08:24] <urlin2u> ublinux, in the terminal after that command is run is a http address post it for ActionParsnip
[08:25] <ron> ActionParsnip: not sure if and which of my previous messages went through.
[08:26] <ActionParsnip> ron: hold shift at boot and select memtest from there. If you see RED then the RAM is faulty
[08:26] <ublinux> urlin2u, sorry i closed terminal and restarted it
[08:26] <ron> ActionParsnip: will try that, thanks.
[08:26] <ActionParsnip> ublinux: when you run the command, read the output...
[08:26] <ublinux> dont know how to post url
[08:26] <urlin2u> ublinux, run it again open the http then post its http address
[08:28] <Peppe__> ActionParsnip, maybe you could advise me on how to solve my first problem, i.e. the one that made me become stupid and remove the driver in the first place. I just received my new marantz-reciver yesterday, and connected the hdmi, and i could only select 640x480 resolutions. I tried adding resolutions with modline xrander, but only got could not read gamma -something something. Is there a way to enable the the option to choose from a
[08:28] <LoRdRapTuReZ> i have done to change ip address.
[08:28] <ron> Peppe__: congratulations on the receiver ;)
[08:28] <Swarnava> urlin2u: backed up, now what?
[08:29] <Peppe__> ron, thanks =) I would just like to be able to use a resolution higher than 640x480 ;p
[08:29] <ActionParsnip> Peppe__: nvidia-settings will let you set resolutions. You should be ableto use the nouveau driver or even the nv driver, both are in a default install.
[08:29] <ron> Peppe__: don't be petty ;)
[08:29] <ActionParsnip> Peppe__: you could even blacklist the nouveau driver and use the nv driver
[08:30] <ublinux> urlin2u, i did it and it said to inform the person helping me.
[08:31] <ActionParsnip> ublinux: yes, copy the red URL in the terminal
[08:31] <ActionParsnip> ublinux: what is the URL?
[08:31] <Peppe__> ActionParsnip, the problem was that i really could not set any resolution higher than 640x480 in nvidia-settings, no such options in the dropdown, and xrander stated the same..
[08:31] <ublinux> http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=45cb4b2aae80c9bc964d8a682c5fc231c9a37b4e
[08:32] <urlin2u> Swarnava, it is really late here I would hate to make a mistake helping you so I will let others do that, good job on getting backed up.
[08:32] <ActionParsnip> Peppe__: install nvidia-current and you can set higher resolutions. If your monitor is cheap and not reportin EDID, you may need an xorg.cof file
[08:32] <ActionParsnip> ublinux: not hard huh, copy and paste :)
[08:32] <Peppe__> iActionParsnip, i guess ubuntu does not understand the info sent by the av, could this be disabled so i can choose without restriction?
[08:32] <ublinux> is that correct, i just copy and paste?
[08:32] <ublinux> so now what?
[08:33] <ActionParsnip> ublinux: ok, run:   sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/ppa; sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ricotz/unstable;  sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get dist-upgrade; killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse*         Then reboot
[08:33] <ublinux> I apreciate your patience.
[08:33] <ActionParsnip> ublinux: that will get you to alsa 1.0.24 which may help
[08:34] <ActionParsnip> ublinux: also, just so you know, Maverick is no longer supported in any way after April this year
[08:35] <Peppe__> ActionParsnip, the strange thing is that my TV/monitor is crapy, but if i had it connected to the computer directly i could choose among many more resolutions. But when i connected it through the new av (marantz 1602) i could only set 640x480...
[08:36] <ActionParsnip> Peppe__: once you get the nvidia driver in, you can run:   sudo nvidia-xconfig    and it will make an xorg.conf file for you, you can then run:  gksudo nvidia-settings  and set a resolutions. if one you desire is not present just set it to something then click 'Save to X config file', you can then run:  gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf    and change the resolution as you wish
[08:37] <gregory_> what interface are you using?
[08:37] <ublinux> great now you tell me. does that mean that i need to upgrade and maybe help my situation.
[08:37] <ActionParsnip> Peppe__: if you get no desktop, simply boot to root recovery mode and rename the file
[08:37] <ActionParsnip> ublinux: maverick has some old sound libs, as your output shows.  But by gksudo nvidia-settings  and set a resolutions, do you mean that i should have all possible resolutions in a dropdown list, or should i manually add them?
[08:40] <Guest3663> Whats the best IMAP setup to go for on a ubuntu system?
[08:40] <ublinux> closing out this irc , see you later. Thanks again. Peace!
[08:40] <ActionParsnip> Peppe__: you will have some, but if not, you can manually set it in xorg.conf
[08:40] <ActionParsnip> padlefot1: there is no single best anything in any OS
[08:41] <ActionParsnip> padlefot1: do you mean for an email server?
[08:41] <padlefot1> ActionParsnip: fair enough.. never setup imap on ubuntu before and was looking for a good solution
[08:41] <padlefot1> ActionParsnip: yes
[08:41] <Peppe__> ActionParsnip, do you maybe have an example xorg that i could look at, i guess its more to it than just add 1024x768?
[08:41] <llutz_> padlefot1: look at dovecot
[08:42] <padlefot1> llutz_: thanx :)
[08:42] <padlefot1> llutz_: found some howtos on dovecot at google
[08:42] <llutz_> padlefot1: shouldn't be hard to find one for ubuntu too
[08:42] <ActionParsnip> Peppe__: I can show you mine if you want. My stupid TV sets 300 x 300 dpi and some super fine res, makes the desktop unusale. let me pastebin
[08:42] <llutz_> or debian
[08:42] <ron> ActionParsnip: so I guess the list of red lines that just appeared on my monitor is a bad sign, right?
[08:43] <padlefot1> llutz_: spot on ;)
[08:43] <ActionParsnip> Peppe__: http://paste.ubuntu.com/810478/
[08:43] <Peppe__> ActionParsnip, thanks alot!
[08:43] <ActionParsnip> ron: yes that's your ram being bad, if you see this: http://www.memtest.org/pics/amd64-big.gif   the ram is good, this is bad: http://www.mynetnuke.com/Portals/28/images/Articles/MemtestMNN.jpg
[08:44] <ActionParsnip> padlefot1: found this: http://lifehacker.com/5040390/turn-an-ubuntudebian-system-into-an-imap-mail-server
[08:44] <ron> ActionParsnip: joy. can I tell from the test which of my dimms is bad?
[08:44] <ActionParsnip> ron: if you have bad ram, try shutting down and removing a stick, then retest
[08:45]  * ron nods
[08:45] <ActionParsnip> ron: if its still bad, shove it back in then remove a different one
[08:45] <ron> I guess no point letting it carry on with the test. waste of time.
[08:45] <ActionParsnip> ron: you get the idea ;)
[08:45] <ron> ActionParsnip: absolutely.
[08:46] <melvincv> I wonder why the memtest is really long by default???
[08:47] <llutz_> melvincv: testing takes time, memtest <12h aren't very effective
[08:47] <ActionParsnip> melvincv: its infinite. You have to press ESC to stop it. It does many different tests
[08:50] <ron> ActionParsnip: wanna place a bet which is the faulty dimm? ;)
[08:51] <ActionParsnip> ron: how many you got :D
[08:51] <ron> 2 ;) good odds. 50-50 :)
[08:51] <saladino_> il gatto con gli stivali
[08:52] <ActionParsnip> could be both :(
[08:52] <ActionParsnip> mind you ram is cheap so who cars
[08:52] <ActionParsnip> cares
[08:53] <ron> maybe I'll just replace the ram for now with the ram from my other computer since I don't use it. I don't want to be stuck over the weekend without a computer.. it's my media center.. I need my media :p
[08:55] <Bogy> is anyone here?
[08:55] <phalaaxx> Bogy why not just ask? :)
[08:56] <triferema> hi
[08:56] <Bogy> hi
[08:56] <Bogy> I have a question about a boot problem
[08:56] <triferema> i have a folder that needs to owned by www-data but still allow a normal user to write to it
[08:56] <triferema> how do I go about it
[08:57] <llutz_> triferema: are you sure it needs to be owned by www-data? group-own it  www-data and make your user owner
[08:57] <Bogy> we had a power outage last night and now my ubuntu machine won't boot. I can still see the disk and directory structures when I boot from the install cd and partition magic shows a #108 error
[08:58] <gvaiou> triferema, chown www-data.users  MYFOLDER ; chmod 775 MYFOLDER
[08:58] <ActionParsnip> Bogy: boot to livecD and test the partition using fsck
[08:58] <Yozap> Hey guys and girls, I have tried installing counter-strike:Source, without success under Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. Anyone tried this before?
[08:58] <gvaiou> if your user is in the group users, he will be able to write in it, everyone else cannot
[08:58] <ron> ActionParsnip: is there any point running the memtest with the new memory? it's of a much higher quality, never had problems with it.
[08:59] <Bogy> not sure what livecD is
[08:59] <triferema> llutz_: will this work chown -Rfv triferema:www-data yii
[08:59] <gvaiou> Bogy, it's just the ordinary ubuntu installation cd
[09:00] <ActionParsnip> ron: I'd just boot to test tbh, if its bad then memtest, could be deeper than just ram. Should be ok though
[09:00] <Bogy> ok brb
[09:00] <Bogy> thanks
[09:00] <theadmin> Yozap: Wine support in #winehq not here
[09:00] <ActionParsnip> Bogy: the thing you installed the OS with,....
[09:00] <ron> ActionParsnip: *nod*
[09:00] <Bogy> brb
[09:00] <ron> ActionParsnip: I wonder if that would explain the other odd problems I've had the the computer.
[09:00] <ActionParsnip> Yozap: check the appdb, there are usually how tos
[09:00] <gulzar> I want to download virtualbox Qt GUI source. The link I got is https://www.virtualbox.org/browser/trunk/src/VBox/Frontends . But how to download it? It is just a browser. Or any other way to download?
[09:01] <llutz_> triferema: it should. webserver (www-data) just needs to read those dirs and write to only a few files/dirs. so its always better not to have those dirs owned by www-data
[09:01] <ActionParsnip> gulzar: why not use the usual interface?
[09:01] <Bogy> can you give me an fsck command line suggestion. fsck ?????
[09:02] <ActionParsnip> Bogy: have a look at:  man fsck
[09:02] <Bogy> ok
[09:02] <gulzar> ActionParsnip: I am re creating it in other language so want to study it a bit
[09:02] <ActionParsnip> gulzar: there is also virtualbox-ose-qt and virtualbox-qt  in the repos...
[09:03] <triferema> llutz_, gvaiou:  thank it worked
[09:03] <gulzar> ActionParsnip: I want the source code
[09:03] <ActionParsnip> gulzar: I see
[09:03] <phalaaxx> anyone familiar with SELinux under ubuntu?
[09:04] <gulzar> ActionParsnip: any way?
[09:04] <ActionParsnip> gulzar: the source wil be in the repos too, you can make apt-get download it for you
[09:05] <gulzar> ActionParsnip: Ok...
[09:05] <ActionParsnip> gulzar: http://askubuntu.com/questions/28372/how-do-i-get-the-source-code-of-packages-installed-through-apt-get
[09:06] <gulzar> ActionParsnip: Thank you..
[09:07] <skilz> I installed plymouth-text-theme but I still can see the solar theme and I have to press esc to see text
[09:07] <ron> ActionParsnip: well, for now the computer runs properly, so I'll retest the memory if something goes wrong and if it's not the memory, I may come back to bother you ;)
[09:07] <ActionParsnip> ron: sounds good though :)
[09:07] <ron> ActionParsnip: thanks for the help :) laters!
[09:09] <profesor> somebody knows the exactly date to be released the new version of ubuntu?
[09:09] <skilz> ??
[09:10] <gulzar> ActionParsnip: Thank You ..
[09:10] <ikonia> profesor: not until closer to the time as problems can make it change, it will be 04 2012 though
[09:10] <ikonia> profesor: does the exact day matter at this point ?
[09:10] <ActionParsnip> gulzar: np :)
[09:10] <Nomadz> http://beforeitsnews.com/ Later
[09:10] <DJones> profesor: If tehre's no problems, 26th April according to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseSchedule
[09:11] <P22250> CIAO
[09:11] <profesor> thank you so much
[09:13] <ron> okay fine, another question. how would I go about installing the beta release of the nvidia drivers (295.09)?
[09:14] <alumn_> ei
[09:14] <Bogy> I ran fsck /dev/hda0 1 2 and got a superblock read error
[09:14] <alumn_> me podeis da las ip
[09:14] <skilz> I installed plymouth-text-theme but I still can see the solar theme and I have to press esc to see text
[09:14] <alumn_> ?
[09:14] <skilz> ????????????????????/
[09:16] <Bogy> superblock could not be read or does not describe or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem
[09:18] <dyd> guys the xorg process is taking 40% of my cpu
[09:18] <dyd> i don't want to reboot
[09:18] <dyd> sudo killall xorg won't fix the problem
[09:18] <theadmin> dyd: You probably need to restart your display manager
[09:19] <theadmin> dyd: /etc/rc.d/?dm restart
[09:19] <theadmin> err...
[09:19] <dyd> forgot the case sensitive :)
[09:19] <theadmin> dyd: lol oh
[09:19] <theadmin> Fixed?
[09:20] <Bogy> ActionParsnip:  I ran fsck /dev/hda0 (and hda1 and hda2) and got a superblock read error
[09:20] <ActionParsnip> Bogy: doesn't sound good dude, copy the exact error and use the web to see what it means
[09:21] <Bogy> I can still see the files and such from the live cd boot and would like to copy my data to my backup disk /dev/hdb/0 but can't get permission to enter the dirs
[09:22] <dyd> theadmin: yes
[09:23] <Bogy> is there a way to get the permissions I need
[09:24] <ParkerR> Bogy, try running it as root or sudo
[09:24] <Bogy> leme try that
[09:24] <ActionParsnip> bogy: why don't you have a regular backup anyway?
[09:25] <llutz_> Bogy: "sudo mkfs.ext4 -n /dev/hda1"  gives you a list where superblocks would be stored. use one of those, to feed fsck -b <block-no> with
[09:25] <ActionParsnip> Bogy: if you run:  gksudo nautilus     you will have full access
[09:25] <ActionParsnip> Bogy: the power outage could have damaged the drive IDE, then where is your data/?
[09:26] <Bogy> I did a complete backup 5 days ago
[09:26] <Bogy> but I have a lot of new stuff I would like to save before I reload
[09:26] <ActionParsnip> sweet, should be good to go then
[09:26] <ActionParsnip> in 5 days, yikes. I'd change your backup regime if your data changes that much
[09:26] <Bogy> su asks for a password which I don't have
[09:27] <Bogy> and I can see the directories etc. I just can't copyi them to my backup disk
[09:28] <Bogy> do I run the gksudo nautilus from a termianl?
[09:29] <ActionParsnip> Bogy: yes, or ALT+F2
[09:29] <ghw> hi
[09:29] <Bogy> hey taht seems to work

[09:35] <Bogy> LLutz: I will try your idea next thanks
[09:35] <urlin2u> ghw, what is your irc hist?
[09:35] <ron> hmm.. I had to stop x server to install the nvidia drivers, and after a reboot it doesn't start it... what did I break this time? :p
[09:36] <urlin2u> host*
[09:36] <MonkeyDust> ghw  depends on the irc client you are using
[09:36] <pnorman> ghw: look for ignoring parts and joins, but it'll depend on your client

[09:39] <undecim> harleystraz: then /dev/sdb1 is your root partition
[09:39] <ghw> i use xchat for windows
[09:39] <ron> ActionParsnip: wonder what I broke this time :)
[09:39] <ActionParsnip> ron:  how did you install the driver?
[09:39] <urlin2u> Pseudoephedrine, you want another bootloader or remove kernels or a older ubuntu?
[09:39] <harleystraz> okay. so how do i mount the drive so i can access the files on it.  Try mounting /dev/sda1
[09:40] <ron> ActionParsnip: downloading and running ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/295.09/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-295.09.run
[09:40] <undecim> harleystraz: Or better yet, if you're on stock ubuntu, just go click on the drive in your file browser
[09:40] <ActionParsnip> harleystraz: there is a PPA with that driver, it will gel better with your OS
