[06:10] <maum> almoxarife, you are genious
[06:10] <ejv> haha yes, cp
[06:10] <almoxarife> maum: no, I installed hdmi the hard way also
[06:10] <ejv> haha, ask questions here, don't PM me
[06:10] <somsip> xio23: there maybe some options for cp that will help, but I'll leave it with you
[06:11] <ejv> haha, man cp, cp --help, google, etc.
[06:11] <ejv> i forgot to add prayer to that list, oh well
[06:11] <almoxarife> ejv: 11.10 has backup already, just need to be started
[06:11] <dark|angel> ejv the default VPS template for Ubuntu comes with linux-ec2 kernel installed
[06:11] <haha> oh ,i see
[06:11] <dark|angel> ejc isn't ec2 amazon's elastic computing platform?
[06:12] <nhocht> hi
[06:12] <ejv> likely an image prepped by your datacenter, go ahead and use it, it's probably fine
[06:12] <ejv> almoxarife: so a wizard? :)
[06:12] <dark|angel> ejc well, they allow me to change it or upgrade it. I'm just wondering to what...
[06:12] <haha> almoxarife , i will have a try
[06:12] <almoxarife> ejv: ??
[06:13] <ejv> what is your native language almoxarife
[06:13] <almoxarife> !info wizard
[06:13] <almoxarife> ejv: tmi
[06:13] <ejv> almoxarife: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wizard_(software)
[06:14] <handygandy> Can someone recommend a calendaring application compatible with KDE and scriptable, preferably in ruby?
[06:14] <tenX> cal ;)
[06:14] <ejv> are the cool kids not calling guided software wizards anymore... lol
[06:14] <almoxarife> ejv: here is what I know, backup has a 'settings' and 'execute' gui
[06:15] <ejv> ahhh
[06:15] <SlayersZ> hello xD
[06:15] <ejv> deja dup?
[06:15] <almoxarife> ejv: you get the star
[06:16] <ejv> well as far as i can tell from my googling, it looks like a pretty weak tool
[06:16] <ejv> wouldn't be surprised if rsync is underneath it
[06:16] <almoxarife> ejv: as far as I can tell from my constant use, works pretty darn well, but that's only because I depend on it
[06:17] <ejv> cool, glad ubuntu has people adding software like that
[06:17] <ejv> so it appeals to the more mainstream people
[06:17] <almoxarife> !info snob-ware

[06:20] <ecotrump> How do I get window and panel transparency working in Xubuntu?
[06:20] <ecotrump> Anyone know?
[06:20] <polardude1983> ecotrump, no idea. Maybe something to do with compiz?
[06:20] <totesmuhgoats> hey guys
[06:20] <tenX> totesmuhgoats: yo
[06:21] <ecotrump> polardude1983, should I reinstall compiz or is there a way to troubleshoot it?
[06:21] <Jordan_U> kimp: How did you try to re-install grub?
[06:22] <totesmuhgoats> so i created a raid array. in fstab i specified the options auto,noexec,rw,users. then once i mounted it i changed the group of the mount point to a group with 2 users in it
[06:22] <polardude1983> ecotrump, did you uninstall compiz in xubuntu?
[06:22] <almoxarife> ecotrump: was there a particular reason you installed 'xubuntu?
[06:22] <totesmuhgoats> but i can't seem to cd in or ls
[06:22] <totesmuhgoats> oh the permissions are set to 777 now
[06:23] <totesmuhgoats> so even ifi wasn't in the group it should be accessible
[06:23] <totesmuhgoats> any ideas?
[06:23] <mmfei-m> Test
[06:23] <Zimsky> I need to redirect port 9016 to port 80. How might I go about doing this?
[06:24] <djdduty> hello, where is the download for ubuntu server for a 64 bit intel processor?
[06:24] <ecotrump> I was running Xubuntu fine; I tried a Xfce session to try it out but after relogging into Xubuntu, I lost all transparency
[06:24] <ecotrump> I haven't uninstalled anything yet
[06:25] <totesmuhgoats> djdduty: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download
[06:25] <djdduty> totesmuhgoats: which one on the list?
[06:25] <djdduty> they all look the same to me =/
[06:25] <totesmuhgoats> djdduty: what kind of processor?
[06:25] <djdduty> intel
[06:25] <djdduty> and I beleive it has 64 bit support
[06:25] <djdduty> allthough I am running 32 bit windows
[06:26] <totesmuhgoats> djdduty: core i something or core 2 something?
[06:26] <totesmuhgoats> the one that says amd64
[06:26] <marcusmvl> teste
[06:26] <djdduty> but, isn't that only amd cpu support?
[06:27] <totesmuhgoats> djdduty: nope
[06:27] <djdduty> I thought thats why it said amd64...
[06:27] <kimp> Jordan_U I created a Boot Repair disk
[06:27] <djdduty> weird
[06:27] <djdduty> ok, well thanks!
[06:27] <totesmuhgoats> djdduty: the intel 64 bit architecture is for servers
[06:27] <totesmuhgoats> the desktop computers with intel 64 bit chips use amd64
[06:27] <ecotrump> polardude1983, i don't have compiz installed, i don't think
[06:27] <djdduty> so ubuntu-server-11.10-amd64.iso.torrent?
[06:27] <totesmuhgoats> or sometimes its called x86~64
[06:28] <totesmuhgoats> djdduty: if you want the server edition, yes
[06:28] <ecotrump> Polardude1983, I don't remember uninstalling anythying
[06:28] <djdduty> totesmuhgoats: I do
[06:28] <djdduty> totesmuhgoats: thank you very much
[06:28] <nhocht> how to check account for USB3g on ubuntu?
[06:28] <totesmuhgoats> then that's the one
[06:28] <Zimsky> I need to redirect port 9016 to port 80. How might I go about doing this?
[06:28] <Jordan_U> kimp: Can you be more specific and detailed?
[06:29] <polardude1983> ecotrump, well when you said should i reinstall compiz. it means that it was uninstalled somewhere. Which is why i asked did you uninstall it
[06:29] <totesmuhgoats> so any idea about my mount question?
[06:30] <Jordan_U> kimp: If you're still having problems that is.
[06:30] <ecotrump> polardude1983, sorry about that. I had the option for transparency after I first installed xubuntu, but now it's gone. sorry for the confusion
[06:30] <kimp> Jordan_U I followed the ubuntu instructions to download Boot Repair iso from sourceforge.  Booted from CD and let it interrogate my system.  Selected the 'Recommended Repairs' option.  It runs for a while then gets stuck...
[06:30] <polardude1983> ecotrump, just trying to figure out why you lost it. THat is all :)
[06:33] <Jordan_U> kimp: Follow these instructions instead: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#ChRoot
[06:34] <polardude1983> ecotrump, maybe this can provide a solution to the transparency? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=467296
[06:35] <ecotrump> polardude1983, I will check it out
[06:35] <haha> oh my  god ! i have already restarted my notebook ,  my ubuntu 11.10 desktop don't have the backup
[06:35] <kimp> Jordan_U - I just tried reinstall Ubuntu but it to hangs!  Do you still think I should try the chroot option?
[06:36] <Jordan_U> kimp: Where did it hang?
[06:36] <kimp> It asked me if I wanted to connect to a wireless network.  I said no, but it's stuck on that screen...
[06:36] <kimp> Message above was for Jordan_U
[06:37] <Jordan_U> kimp: Are you using the Live or alternate CD?
[06:37] <Topikjape> Gogle
[06:38] <kimp> I'm just using the Ubuntu Installation download cd
[06:38] <abhi_> hello
[06:38] <abhi_> i need an info.
[06:39] <Topikjape> Foto bugil
[06:39] <abhi_> i'm running a simple SMTP server in my ubuntu machine via postfix
[06:39] <haha> i update ubuntu 11.04 to ubuntu 11.10
[06:39] <abhi_> how can i send mail from this SMTP server to other services like gmail?
[06:39] <abhi_> i want to send mail from my own SMTP server
[06:39] <abhi_> plz anyone help
[06:40] <tenX> abhi_: directly?
[06:40] <ecotrump> Polardude1983, Got it, that thread got me in the right direction. In Xubuntu 11.10 I had to go to Settings Manager>Window Manager Tweaks>Compositor then recheck the bow 'Enable display compositing'. I think it may have gotten unchecked when I logged into an Xfce session for some reason. Thanks for the help.
[06:40] <kimp> Jordan_U, I had 3 partitions before I installed Ubuntu.  From what I saw in the GRUB Rescue, I think I now have 5.  Should the install create 2 partitions?  And does it know that only one can be primary?
[06:40] <polardude1983> ecotrump, glad i helped
[06:40] <abhi_> tenX: yes, from command line or mail client like thunderbird
[06:40] <polardude1983> ecotrump, althought it was a very short thread lol
[06:41] <abhi_> tenX:like- mail from: abhi@localhost
[06:41] <sn00p> Do I update the kernel through ubuntu package update by using the image ?
[06:41] <abhi_> tenX: rcpt to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[06:41] <tenX> abhi_: command line based?
[06:42] <Jordan_U> kimp: Yes (root filesystem and swap) and yes (it will have created an extended partition and made logical partitions within that for root and swap).
[06:42] <Quaydon> I set up my raid1 system on install with the console GUI. I then laterd installed xubuntu-desktop it now change my mdadm.conf should I just use the old one? heres the old one http://pastebin.com/kMHiZEyQ and the new one http://pastebin.com/dLyi29hz
[06:42] <Jordan_U> kimp: Can you post a screenshot of where it's hung?
[06:42] <Jordan_U> !screenshot | kimp
[06:43] <kimp> Jordan_U, ubottu - I just rebooted it.  I can try again, however not sure how I will be able to get screen shot of the machine?
[06:44] <djdduty> what is a really good virtualization software for ubuntu that's free?
[06:44] <Jordan_U> djdduty: virtualbox, kvm.
[06:44] <dodo3773> virtualbox
[06:44] <haha> hi ,ubottu . i restart my computer ,but i can't find the backup option
[06:44] <polardude1983> djdduty, can't beat virtualbox
[06:45] <djdduty> alright well, thank you very much yet again
[06:45] <Jordan_U> kimp: If you choose "Try Ubuntu before installing" (or something similar) then you can run other applications in addition to the installer (which will be an icon on the Desktop).
[06:45] <kimp> I found virtualbox caused problems with 64bit guests on a HP laptop host (with HW virtualisation).  Apart from that, it's great.  Better than VM Ware...
[06:45] <Quaydon> djdduty, I really like virtaualbox too. Im actually running a windows xp guest and a windows 7 guest now :)
[06:46] <dodo3773> @kimp was it a 32bit host
[06:46] <djdduty> I just need to run my windows 7 as a vm
[06:46] <kimp> dodo3773 was a 32 bit host
[06:46] <dodo3773> kimp - that makes sense
[06:46] <Hanuman> So
[06:46] <dodo3773> @kimp same problems in linux
[06:47] <Quaydon> I have not had any problems at all with a 64-bit guest on a 64-bit host
[06:47] <Hanuman> How do I connect to a different irc server? not a channel.
[06:47] <dodo3773> @quaydon what about a 64 guest in a 32 host
[06:47] <haha> maybe you try to use the 32 bit ubuntu
[06:47] <Quaydon> . /server or /connect i think
[06:48] <Quaydon> dodo3773, I don't think I have tried that.
[06:48] <djdduty> ok, for my ubuntu server, virtual box or kvm?
[06:48] <djdduty> for servers which is better?
[06:48] <haha> maybe kvm
[06:48] <dodo3773> quaydon I think that is what the op was saying
[06:49] <rainfyre> I did a full install of an Ubuntu 10.04 distro to a 16g flash drive, but the boot menu showed my hard drive on the first boot-up. Now I just get the grub> menu.  Is there a way to fix my flash drive and make it bootable again?
[06:49] <rainfyre> It only booted properly once, and now doesn't boot
[06:49] <dodo3773> @kimp just run 32bit guest
[06:50] <sgo11> hi, with ubuntu 11.10 and gnome3, how to enable sound effects when I double click folders or press menu and moving the cursor along the dropdown list of a menu etc...? is that possible? thanks.
[06:50] <dodo3773> @sgo11 did you look in dconf
[06:51] <kimp> currently collecting screen shot for Jordan_U and ubottu
[06:52] <Jordan_U> kimp: ubottu is a bot :)
[06:52] <kimp> Jordan_U - That's hilarious :)
[06:58] <Vustom> Could someone help me with UNetBootin? When I go to find the .ISO there's only root and filesystem :/
[06:58] <mysteriousdarren> what is your problem? location?
[06:59] <Vustom> I can't get to the location, and it's /home/vustom/Vustom/Mac/OS/iATKOS_L2/iATKOS_L2.iso
[07:00] <sgo11> how to enable/play sound when I double click and open a folder in nautilus?
[07:00] <Vustom> How do I mount an .ISO on Ubuntu? I need to do this then copy the contents onto a USB
[07:01] <kimp> Jordan_U, I can't save the image to a thumb drive.  The system can see the thumb, but can't open it...  Sames goes for all drives, actually, except for one called File System (which I suspect is the CD ROM?)
[07:02] <sgo11> Vustom, simply use the file manager. nautilus.
[07:02] <sgo11> Vustom, open the file manager. double click the iso file.
[07:03] <Vustom> I did.. and I clicked Next but UNetBootin skipped extracting and copying the ISO
[07:03] <Vustom> and went straight to installing the bootloader
[07:03] <Vustom> so now I have to extract the ISO and paste it myself
[07:03] <Vustom> I think
[07:03] <Vustom> I'm knew to this :D
[07:05] <sgo11> Vustom, sudo mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop file.iso a_folder/
[07:06] <Vustom> sgo11: I did this; /home/vustom/Vustom/Mac/OS/iATKOS_L2 (Look at step 5)
[07:06] <Vustom> Would that work as well?
[07:08] <sgo11> Vustom, sorry, I am not sure what you are trying to do. just replied your question how to mount a iso file. :)
[07:08] <Vustom> Awh okay, I think I've figured it out anyways :)
[07:09] <Vustom> One more question, when I try and copy something it says Filesystem does not support symbolic links?
[07:10] <qmanjr5> Why does Banshee keep putting .mp4 files into the Music category? >_>
[07:10] <Sid_injector> hey can any one tell me how to move a .list file i made to a folder in the file system using the terminal in ubuntu?
[07:10] <almoxarife> Vustom: you are copying across a network?
[07:11] <Sid_injector> no just on my system
[07:11] <xio23> how can i use diff and only output the the difference for the lines which are different for one of the files... right now if two lines match you see the contents of that line for both files.
[07:11] <Ztag100> Hey, im running a small minece
[07:11] <Vustom> Nope, I have an .ISO that I mounted near my /home file so that I can copy all the contents onto a USB, which is all on the same PC, but when I do so I get the message above :p
[07:11] <Ztag100> Minecraft server for me and my friends
[07:12] <Ztag100> And I was wondering, whats the lightest DE to use, to prevent lag?
[07:12] <qmanjr5> Actually, nevermind that. How do I add pictures to an iPod in Banshee?
[07:12] <webrole> xio23: diff filepath/filename ??
[07:12] <sgo11> Sid_injector, you can simply use 'mv' command.
[07:12] <Ztag100> Im using xfce
[07:12] <Ztag100> I also try lxde
[07:13] <Ztag100> Is there anything else?
[07:13] <xio23> webrole: what
[07:13] <webrole> specify file along with diff command
[07:14] <RaghuB> I am getting buffer over flow when creating the  mingwm10.dll
[07:14] <somsip> Ztag100: http://www.techradar.com/news/software/applications/5-of-the-best-lightweight-window-managers-for-linux-972570 and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems

[07:14] <Sid_injector> ah ok sgoll do i need to use a symbol to target the file system for the move or can i just move the file to the folder i need to with out using any thing to define the file system?
[07:14] <Ztag100> Thabks
[07:14] <Ztag100> Sorry, on my tab right now
[07:14] <Vustom> Is it possible I can copy all the contents of an .ISO to a USB without getting Filesystem does not support symbolic links?
[07:15] <almoxarife> Vustom: do you know what a 'symbolic' link is?
[07:15] <Vustom> nope :)
[07:16] <almoxarife> Vustom: you familiar with 'windows'?
[07:16] <Vustom> yes, i have it :)
[07:17] <Ztag100> Whats windows? Never heard of it before.. :P
[07:17] <sgo11> Sid_injector, you can use 'tab' button to complete a nickname. my nick is sgo11, but not sgoll. :) anyway. command: mv <source_path/file> <dest_path/file>
[07:17] <Vustom> What if I did this; sudo modprobe hfsplus && sudo mount -t hfsplus -o loop /home/vustom/Vustom/Mac/OS/iATKOS_L2/iATKOS_L2.iso /media/Mac
[07:18] <Vustom> Would this work?
[07:18] <almoxarife> Vustom: think of it this way, you are trying to copy a 'shortcut' and not the actual 'file/folder'
[07:18] <sgo11> Sid_injector, mv <source_path/file(s)> <dest_path>
[07:18] <Vustom> ...
[07:18] <Vustom> Mhmm
[07:18] <Vustom> Where do I find this folder/file?
[07:18] <Vustom> I'll explain what I'm trying to do
[07:18] <sgo11> Sid_injector, eg: mv /home/user/*.mp3 /home/user/Musics/
[07:19] <Vustom> I have a USB storage device, and a .ISO file near my home directory, I'm wanting to extract the contents of this .ISO and copy all of it into my USB storage device.
[07:20] <tenX> Vustom: mount and copy?
[07:20] <sgo11> Sid_injector,  '.' is current directory. '..' is parent directory. eg: mv ../*.jpg .
[07:20] <Ztag100> Which is lighter LXDE or xFCE?
[07:20] <Ztag100> I have them both installed already
[07:20] <Vustom> Yes, that's what I'm trying to do, I've mounted it near a folder in my home, but when copying it to the USB it says about the Symbolic link problem
[07:21] <sgo11> anyone know where can I enable all the sound effects? currently, there is no sound play when I open directory in nautilus etc.... thanks.
[07:21] <almoxarife> Vustom: lets assume you have an iso file, and lets assume you want it on a usb, then it's a matter of copying it, to the usb, when you bring up 'symbolic' link I infer you don't have the two things you initially need to accomplish what you are trying to do
[07:21] <Vustom> o
[07:21] <Vustom> But I do have both of them, so what's wrong? ._.
[07:21] <Sid_injector> @sgoll ok so then there is no command definition for the file system?
[07:21] <almoxarife> Vustom: wth does 'mount' iso near home mean?
[07:21] <Sid_injector> i can just add the path then right?
[07:22] <sgo11> Sid_injector, sorry, I don't understand your question.
[07:22] <Vustom> oo..
[07:22] <sgo11> Sid_injector, and please, my nickname is sgo11 . not ll..
[07:23] <yourstrly> Vustom: show your cp command
[07:23] <Sid_injector> ah ok sorry sgo11
[07:23] <Vustom> ISO location: /home/vustom/Vustom/Mac/OS/iATKOS_L2/iATKOS_L2.iso USB path: /media/mac Mounted path: /home/vustom/Vustom/Mac/OS/image (BUT, when I double click on image, it changes to /OS/iATKOS_L2? :/)
[07:24] <eskoONE> hello

[07:25] <kimp> Jordan_U, I tried the ChRoot method.  It hung again, this time when I went sudo chroot /mnt
[07:26] <eskoONE> k
[07:26] <sgo11> Sid_injector, yeah. ~ is stands for /home/user/ . if you want to see all the global variable definition. you can simply type 'export' in terminal.

[07:31] <syddraf> I'm having an issue where gnome-open attempts to open everything in nautilus. Is there a way to correct this?
[07:31] <Vustom> yourstrly: I got no error in the terminal if that's what you mean :)
[07:31] <Sid_injector> im good i'll look up more documentation so i understand better thanks for helping me sgo11
[07:31] <FnorZ> eskoONE, have you read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 ?
[07:31] <master> any solution of my problem
[07:31] <mrpink57>  eskoONE my suggestion would be to flip the input within menu.lst, but keep a backup just in case.
[07:31] <Vustom> yourstrly: Is this correct? cp /home/vustom/Vustom/Mac/OS/image /media/Mac
[07:32] <mrpink57> on my Chakra install it boots the last OS selected
[07:32] <sgo11> Sid_injector, no worries. I thought you asked to see all the variable definition. 'export' command will show the list. to use them eg:  $HOME is the same as ~. HOME will be shown in export command output.
[07:32] <yourstrly> cp -a ...
[07:33] <Vustom> cp -a /home/vustom/Vustom/Mac/OS/image /media/Mac then? :)
[07:33] <sgo11> oh. he left before I do.
[07:34] <Vustom> yourstrly: When I do that it copys the image folder instead of all the content inside, I need the content inside the /OS/image/ to be at the root
[07:34] <Vustom> of the usb
[07:37] <yourstrly> cp -a /home/vustom/Vustom/Mac/OS/image/* /media/Mac
[07:38] <amarftp> hello world
[07:38] <kimp> So, I have been at this for 24 hours now and am about to write off my laptop.  I installed Ubuntu alongside Win7 last night and can now not boot in to either.  Have tried all sorts of fixes.  Any last ideas, anyone?
[07:39] <amarftp> i am a new user in debian
[07:39] <mrpink57> kimp: what is your error?
[07:39] <bazhang> amarftp, you mean ubuntu I hope
[07:39] <tenX> kimp: external boot media installing grub? plenty of howtos
[07:40] <kimp> mrpink57 GRUB boots into rescue mode.  Tried reinstalling grub from CD, from chroot.  Also, tried to do windows system repair, tenx
[07:41] <mrpink57> kimp: can you boot into one without the other?  Say windows did not exist does grub show up?
[07:41] <almoxarife> kimp: when you installed ubuntu you wiped out MBR which was needed by windows, you need to fix windows first, with a rescue disk, google, repair MBR
[07:42] <kimp> mrpink57 Windows was working fine before I did ubuntu install.  Now only see GRUB
[07:42] <morgan> hi all
[07:42] <tenX> kimp: but grub comes up?
[07:42] <amarftp> now i have a usb wifi ralink rt2800usb
[07:43] <kimp> almoxarife, I run the windows system recovery and it finds no problems with the boot
[07:43] <bazhang> amarftp, with debian?
[07:43] <kimp> tenx, drops straigt to GRUB rescue
[07:44] <almoxarife> kimp: then all is well, windows is a boot option
[07:44] <ak5> what is the best way to get a socks proxy via ssh running at boot?/w
[07:44] <kimp> Something definitely screwed with recognising files: Ubuntu reinstallation hangs; Boot Repair (GRUB) installation hangs; LiveCD can see devices, but not write to them, etc...
[07:44] <morgan> this ubuntu is "geeky"
[07:44] <mrpink57> kimp: did you have to resize your drive?
[07:44] <kimp> almoxarife, how can I get to windows then?
[07:44] <mrpink57> kimp: to fit ubuntu?
[07:44] <almoxarife> kimp: when you installed ubuntu you wiped out MBR which was needed by windows, you need to fix windows first, with a rescue disk, google, repair MBR
[07:45] <apple314> hy guys, I apologize if I'm in the wrong place, but maybe someone might help... Love ubuntu, but now I installed 10.04, and connect to wifi using usb dongle => shipset rtl8187. It can connect to both wep/wpa, but althow signal is great dowload speed is really poor. Googled it and see that some people have the same problem, but no answer that would work for me was provided. Has anyone insight?
[07:45] <kimp> mrpink57 I resized an NTFS drive and removed a recovery partition in windows before installing ubuntu.  checked that windows was still working fine before installing ubuntu, of course
[07:45] <tenX> yeah to fix windows you can use recovery /fixmbr
[07:46] <tenX> but you should rather get grub to work
[07:46] <lmaowaffle1> hi folks. Is it okay to ask about zfs use in ubuntu in this channel, or elsewhere?
[07:46] <mrpink57> kimp: that recovery partition may have held the recovery disk info, a lot of manufactures do not ship a cd anymore.
[07:46] <kimp> mrpink57, yep, I know
[07:47] <tenX> mrpink57: those installations are screwed anyway
[07:47] <mrpink57> well he must have a windows rescue cd then?
[07:47] <kimp> I have a Windows Rescue CD but it thinks the boot is fine!
[07:48] <Haematoma> Where do I save scripts so that I can call them from any directory?
[07:48] <Haematoma>  ...so that they can be called like any other command
[07:48] <Haematoma>  I.E. ls , cd, mkdir, etc
[07:48] <almoxarife> kimp: does your cd include 'repair MBR'???
[07:48] <tenX> kimp: well i'd give running grub some more tries
[07:48] <mrpink57> fixmbr should do it anyways
[07:48] <Haematoma> I want to write a BASH script to convert my FLAC files to MP3s
[07:49] <BernSamson> I have a question....does it really make much difference to use the 32 bit ubuntu on 64 or should you really use the distro made for your computer?
[07:49] <kimp> tenX, I tried GRUB many times.  Even re-downloaded and cut a new disk.  If Ubuntu LiveCD can't navigate the file system, I don't think Grub will be able to either...
[07:49] <mrpink57> after fixmbr you will need to reinstall grub.
[07:49] <tenX> mrpink57: yeah but that will prevent dual boot
[07:49] <Haematoma> and have that script be a part of my linux commands list
[07:49] <almoxarife> BernSamson: if you have a 64bit machine then use 64bit os, unless you don't want to use 1/2 the processing power
[07:49] <Haematoma> so that I only have to type "converttomp3 [Source:Path] [Dest:Path]
[07:50] <mrpink57> tenX: at first it will, but once you reinstall grub it wont.
[07:50] <Haematoma> and the script that I wrote will be called
[07:50] <tenX> kimp: hmm all those tries ended up the same?
[07:50] <BernSamson> thank you Alomax
[07:50] <somsip> Haematoma: it's usual to create local/bin in your home directory and put them in there. then you'd add ~/local/bin to your path in .bashrc
[07:50] <beachbum_Bob> my media players don't work
[07:50] <kimp> tenX, yep
[07:50] <Haematoma> somsip,  thank you so much!
[07:50] <kimp> almoxarife, no repair MBR
[07:50] <tenX> mrpink57: of course. but why reconstruct windows only if dual boot is your intention
[07:51] <BernSamson> almoxarife: would that explain why I'm not able to run Unity 3d?
[07:51] <tenX> kimp: does the grub menu show up at boot?
[07:51] <eshlox> hm, kubuntu 11.10, dvd drive not detect cd/dvd discs, eject works, system detect dvd.. http://pastebin.com/4p45EghH any ideas?
[07:52] <mrpink57> tenX: the definition of insanity is doing the same thing again and again and expecting the same results.  its worth a try to fix the windows mbr then reinstall grub.
[07:52] <kimp> tenX, no.  Just drops straight to the rescue.  I looked around and found lots of Grub files, but not a grub config.  Same problem - nothing can write to the filesystem
[07:52] <almoxarife> BernSamson: not sure, unity3d depends on the video drivers being there, still, if we are talking a fresh install, do the 64bit and 'alternate' iso , not the 'desktop'
[07:52] <tenX> kimp: have you tried TAB? (think thats the hotkey)
[07:52] <kimp> Getting windows running is my main priority.  I have given up on the ubuntu install for now
[07:52] <ak5> what is the best way to get a socks proxy via ssh running at boot?
[07:53] <tenX> mrpink57: insanity is an acceptable consequence
[07:53] <BernSamson> almoxarife: I'm having difficulty updating my vid drivers...keep getting an Authorization Denied error
[07:53] <kimp> tenX, just tried tab and shift.  Same result, i.e. rescue prompt
[07:53] <almoxarife> BernSamson: and be connected to the internet via ethernet
[07:53] <mrpink57> kimp: so focing a fixmbr should kick windows to boot
[07:54] <tenX> kimp: hmm okay. so you only want windows back for now?
[07:54] <Haematoma> somsip,  do you know of a more formal name for the thing which I am attempting to do? I am looking for documentation on how to do so
[07:54] <kimp> yep, windows for now.  Am readin up on fixing mbr
[07:54] <almoxarife> BernSamson: denied? what version? where do you get that output?
[07:54] <Haematoma> somsip,  that would be adding a script as a command
[07:54] <tenX> kimp: yeah that should work
[07:55] <BernSamson> I got that from the update manager
[07:55] <tenX> kimp: is it win7?
[07:56] <kimp> tenX, yes, Win 7
[07:56] <mrpink57> kimp: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/bootcons_fixmbr.mspx?mfr=true
[07:56] <almoxarife> BernSamson: switching from 32 to 64 is not an option on update manager, and your error I am not familiar with
[07:56] <somsip> Haematoma: http://www.linuxheadquarters.com/howto/basic/path.shtml and https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/3199 may help
[07:56] <tenX> maybe you can repair it via f8
[07:57] <tenX> kimp: if thats so, it'd be nice to let me know
[07:57] <tenX> kimp: d'oh ;) cant work if windows isnt even booting
[07:57] <BernSamson> almoxarife: I went to Additional Drivers...it offers a post release and a regular release...I click activate...and it tells me Permission is denied
[07:58] <BernSamson> almoxarife: I understand that I cannot 'update' to 64 bit OS...
[07:58] <almoxarife> BernSamson: additional drivers needs admin permission, and its not getting it, your system sounds crippled
[07:59] <BernSamson> I give it admin permissions
[07:59] <BernSamson> does it matter if its on a dual boot?
[07:59] <almoxarife> BernSamson: should not
[08:00] <almoxarife> BernSamson: if you got dual boot, here is a option, use the win partion as a backup, save your home folder, then re-install a 64bit on the ubuntu partion???
[08:01] <BernSamson> redoing the vid card driver activation just to see if I get the same error
[08:01] <mrpink57> almoxarife: if /home is a separate partition and not all in one you should not need to do anything.
[08:01] <Vermind> Hi, I use IBUS to type Chinese in gnome-shell. The ibus keyboardlike icon changes into a picture with a crossed out red circle when in pinyin mode. It should be a blue character like in GNOME2. I have tried several icon themes, including Gnome, elementary, Mint-X. Any ideas?
[08:02] <BernSamson> what the...it finally allowed the update!
[08:04] <kimp> Ok, so there is no fixmbr on my CD, or the windows directory or subdirectories!
[08:04] <almoxarife> mrpink57: true, I must be the only person not do have done that, now I see how its useful, I guess next time
[08:05] <raptor67682> hellow world
[08:05] <raptor67682> woudl you know how to make the Ubuntu mount the NFS share at boot ? <IP_ADDRESS>:/share  /share defaults,auto 0 0 ?
[08:08] <raptor67682> woudl you know how to make the Ubuntu mount the NFS share at boot ? <IP_ADDRESS>:/share  /share defaults,auto 0 0 ?
[08:08] <e01> hm i had a problem with mc and sftp with it, when i connect to server it say me that cannot change dir and then drop the session, is there some way to fix it?
[08:12] <BernSamson> almoxarife: thanks for whatever magic ya did...
[08:12] <BernSamson> now if only I could smooth out my usb mouse
[08:13] <almoxarife> BernSamson: look at the mouse settings, increased sensitivity did the trick for me
[08:14] <BernSamson> I have sensitivity and accel maxed and it still operates like its frame rate is like...15 or something
[08:15] <almoxarife> BernSamson: kill it, get a new one
[08:16] <lolol> Good Morning!
[08:16] <BernSamson> Morgen lolol
[08:16] <kimp> Hi all, got my windows installation back!  Used bootrec, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927392.  Thanks for the assistance!
[08:16] <almoxarife> BernSamson: is it a plain or optical ?
[08:16] <BernSamson> optical
[08:17] <almoxarife> kimp: now you got what you need to continue with grub repair till the cows come in
[08:17] <evil_hog> greeting. i humbly requesting community help once again -.-
[08:18] <kimp> almoxarife, I was just going to buy a second laptop!  Where would you go from here?
[08:18] <lolol> I ve made a bad mistake: I lost all my signatures for apt... It says sth like "Could not authorize packets..." Like when you add a deb source without added gpg keys...
[08:18] <lolol> How do I add the right keys in Ubuntu 11.10? I deleted the keyring folder... Dump I am ...
[08:18] <ArchangelSe7en> hullo fellow ubuntu users
[08:19] <BernSamson> gosh dang it...
[08:19] <almoxarife> kimp: if it'd 64bit, use 64bit, use the 'alternate' iso/disk and be connected to the internet via ethernet
[08:19] <BernSamson> clicked on the wrong button
[08:20] <lolol> Anyone an Idea to fix my key problem?
[08:20] <evil_hog> i have lenovo z570 laptop with uefi. i'm trying to install kubuntu 11.10 x86_64. after bios upgrade i'm able to install and launch kubuntu without problems, but i don't like standard partitioning because it doesn't respect 4k alignment. but when i install kubuntu with manual partitioning, it appears as 'ubuntu' in uefi menu, but wont boot
[08:20] <PPPPPPP> does anyone know here i can find good Boo tutorials? and example scripts?
[08:21] <evil_hog> i have bootable efi partition at the end of the drive. the difference that it started from 2048 sector instead of 34 as before
[08:21] <almoxarife> boo?
[08:21] <evil_hog> and i'm not sure what device for grub installation i should choose... /dev/sda ir /dev/sda1 where efi partition is
[08:21] <evil_hog> ir=or
[08:21] <lolol> W: GPG-Fehler: http://archive.canonical.com oneiric Release: Die folgenden Signaturen waren ungültig: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[08:22] <lolol> THat is what I get for all my repos?
[08:22] <PPPPPPP> its like a mix between JS and Ruby

[08:24] <polardude1983> Does anyone know how to copy all files in a dir except for the last file? Like I want to copy files doc_01.pdf to doc_03.pdf but not doc_04.pdf
[08:24] <prince_jammys> PPPPPPP: boo's homepage
[08:26] <somsip> polardude1983: define "last one" Do you mean by alphabetical order?
[08:27] <kimp> almoxarife, is this the right place to download from, http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download
[08:27] <polardude1983> somsip, like if i have files doc_01 to doc_04. I only want to copy the first three. or if i have files doc_01 to doc_07 i only want to copy the first 6
[08:28] <somsip> polardude1983: when 'first three' are the first three when listed by alphabetical order? Or date order?
[08:28] <almoxarife> kimp: assuming it's a 64bit machine and you want the 11.10 http://releases.ubuntu.com/11.10/ubuntu-11.10-alternate-amd64.iso.torrent
[08:28] <polardude1983> somsip, alphabetical
[08:28] <Vermind> polardude1983: you could do that with a gui very easily, or in a terminal using a one liner: cp $( ls | awk 'NR > 1 {print last} { last=$1 }'  ) wher-ever/you/want/to/copy/them
[08:29] <somsip> polardude1983: try something along these lines: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4817313/bash-script-to-delete-all-but-n-files-when-sorted-alphabetically
[08:29] <kimp> almoxarife, it's an intel i7, an x86 chip.  It can run Win 64, so should be able to run Ubuntu 64?
[08:29] <Vermind> there you should tell ls what kind of order you want, if you want it to be different than normal ls order, and tell cp about -r and -i if you need them
[08:30] <almoxarife> kimp: if it can run win64 then it's a 64bit machine, so 64bit ubuntu is the logical choice
[08:30] <Maxy1982> morning all
[08:30] <crescendo> I'd like to restart metacity so I don't lose all my open applications, but really don't trust running it inside of a terminal window.  What is the _correct_ way to do this?
[08:31] <almoxarife> kimp: amd64=64bit
[08:31] <polardude1983> somsip, thank you so much
[08:31] <Vermind> crescendo: how about alt-f2 and metacity --replace
[08:31] <crescendo> Vermind, does that properly "disown" the process?
[08:32] <somsip> polardude1983: np
[08:32] <BernSamson> can I access my windows partition from ubuntu thru WINE?
[08:32] <crescendo> I don't trust that finnicky little window
[08:32] <almoxarife> BernSamson: sort of
[08:32] <crescendo> hrm, that didn't correctly resolve my issue either.
[08:32] <almoxarife> BernSamson: first ubuntu needs 'sharing' turned on
[08:32] <Vermind> crescendo: What's the issue?
[08:33] <BernSamson> I ask...because I have some MMOs that I like playing...but they are Windows based games...
[08:33] <somsip> BernSamson: you can access it my mounting it directly https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions
[08:33] <almoxarife> BernSamson: and access to the windows shares do not need wine
[08:33] <crescendo> Vermind, artifacts hanging around when I drag a window, and unmaximizable windows
[08:33] <Maxy1982> am getting this error: file not found : grub rescue>
[08:34] <BernSamson> so to run the games I don't need wine if I've set up sharing?
[08:34] <Peristyle> is not insecure mounting automatically windows partition?
[08:34] <somsip> BernSamson: if you are wanting to run windows executables on Linux you need wine or something very similar
[08:34] <almoxarife> BernSamson: you do need wine if the games are win
[08:34] <kimp> thanks almoxarife, VERY much appreciated!  Downloading now...
[08:34] <BernSamson> ok...thats what I wanted to know
[08:34] <Vermind> crescendo: Do you have the reduced resources mode on in metacity?
[08:35] <MeirD> I networking question:  In my routing table I have an entry 9.151... with a Gemnmask that its gateway is <IP_ADDRESS>. Then I have an entry "<IP_ADDRESS>" with gateway <IP_ADDRESS>.  What happens when I try to connect to an IP on my local network? It seems like it forwards the IP package to the default gateway anyway??
[08:35] <crescendo> Vermind, I have not modified any metacity configs, no
[08:35] <almoxarife> kimp: insure you are connected to the internet on install via ethernet for best results
[08:36] <kimp> will do
[08:36] <Vermind> crescendo: which ubuntu version is this? try using gconf-editor and navigating to apps/metacity/general and try toggling the reduced resources mode
[08:36] <nhocht> hi
[08:36] <nhocht> how to check account for USB3g on Ubuntu11.10?
[08:38] <kimp> almoxarife, one question - the file name AMD64 suggests that it's for an AMD chip, not an intel?
[08:38] <almoxarife> kimp: its not, intel or amd
[08:38] <kimp> great!
[08:39] <almoxarife> kimp: I have never understood the reason myself, someone does not want to give intel credit????? anyway, my lappy is intel and it matters not to it
[08:41] <andyn> the instruction set extension was developed by AMD, hence the name
[08:41] <almoxarife> kimp: there is one hitch, lets assume your lappy does not have 64bit virtualization, like mine, when you want to run 'virtual' software it will need to be 32bit,
[08:41] <BernSamson> wait...where did my gear go in the upper right?
[08:41] <jay12> anyone run into this error installing HH on ubuntu 10.04 ? {"/tmp/selfgz14418/hacketyhack-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.0.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
[08:41] <andyn> intel only implemented it in their non-itanium designs afterwards
[08:41] <jay12> *hackety hack
[08:42] <nhocht> how to check account for USB3g on Ubuntu11.10?
[08:42] <jay12> been googling, seems like it's a problem with different programs but haven't found a solution
[08:42] <makara> how to restart the xserver?
[08:42] <kimp> almoxarife, it does have hw virtualisation support.  Not sure that's an issue if I'm running dual boot?
[08:42] <Hyperbyte> kimp, no.  Dual boot is not virtualization.
[08:43] <almoxarife> kimp: then if you choose to run virtual (virtualbox) either will work, 32 or 64 bit
[08:43] <Vermind> nhocht: are you talking about a USB 3G modem?
[08:44] <Maxy1982> can any one help me with this problem error: file not found. Grub rescue> i have booted live cd and tried some thing but no luck i have uploaded a pic http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=jhg460&s=5 if some on can help]
[08:45] <Hyperbyte> Maxy1982, better share link directly to the image:  http://i44.tinypic.com/jhg460.jpg
[08:46] <Maxy1982> ok
[08:46] <almoxarife> Maxy1982: are you on the machine you are trying to do grub stuff to?
[08:46] <Maxy1982> yes
[08:46] <Maxy1982> the machine was working perfect yesterday and this morning all of sudden this error apeard
[08:46] <Maxy1982> i got 3 os in it
[08:47] <BernSamson> almoxarife: The little gear thing in the upper right isn't there...how do you get it back without a hard reboot?
[08:47] <almoxarife> Maxy1982: when the machine boots into ubuntu, no problems?
[08:47] <Peristyle> wich os?
[08:47] <prince_jammys> jay12: try /join #hacketyhack  (small channel)
[08:47] <almoxarife> BernSamson: gear? where?
[08:47] <BernSamson> where you shut down and similar stuffs
[08:47] <jay12> prince_jammys, yeah I'm there. no one seems to be around. lol
[08:47] <Maxy1982> it does not boot the grub give me error: file not found. Grub rescue>
[08:48] <Maxy1982> and cannot select non of the os
[08:48] <makara> xserver, you know the window system that sits in tty7. what happens when it freezes and I want to restart it without doing in all the other processes?
[08:48] <kimp> almoxarife, I'm off for dinner while the download happens.  Thanks again - you're a life saver!
[08:48] <almoxarife> BernSamson: does alt-f2 bring up a window?
[08:48] <almoxarife> kimp: glad to help
[08:48] <BernSamson> yes...brings up a dash
[08:49] <Peristyle> Maxy1982, do you have a live cd? you can run it and manage your grub, delete it if necesary
 yap am in it at the moment
[08:49] <almoxarife> BernSamson: type 'r' and return
[08:50] <Peristyle> I don understand what is the relation to the pic
[08:50] <almoxarife> Maxy1982: then what about 'grub' are you trying to fix?
 i tried grub and giving me command not found
[08:51] <almoxarife> Maxy1982: why did you want to do that?
[08:51] <BernSamson> ok, showed me some gearworks and a file named 'r'
[08:51] <BernSamson> what am I looking for?
[08:51] <almoxarife> BernSamson: you should have gotten a 'mini terminal' sort of thing
[08:52] <Maxy1982> almoxarife: how can i fix it
[08:52] <almoxarife> Maxy1982: there is nothing to fix
[08:52] <BernSamson> I got a window that looked really close to Dash
[08:52] <BernSamson> Should I type 'r' in Terminal?
[08:52] <almoxarife> Maxy1982: stop trying to fix something that is not broke
[08:53] <almoxarife> BernSamson: sure, try that
[08:53] <prince_jammys> makara: afaik, when that happens, you're screwed.
[08:53] <Peristyle> or broke it and then fix it
[08:53] <ak5> hey guys, how do i tell squid it is already behind a proxy and should use localhost:port
[08:53] <jay12> lol Peristyle
[08:53] <almoxarife> Maxy1982: what is the fixation with 'grub'?
[08:54] <BernSamson> The program 'r' is currently not installed. you can get it by typing sudo apt-get install littler
[08:54] <Peristyle> :p
[08:54] <almoxarife> BernSamson: nope, that's not it
[08:54] <makara> prince_jammys: its out there, somewhere
[08:54] <prince_jammys> makara: i have no idea how you'd kill X without killing X clients (gui progs).
[08:56] <prince_jammys> ak5: try /join #skid
[08:56] <prince_jammys> err, #squid
[08:57] <Maxy1982> almoxarife: here is when i turn the laptop on it only gives me this  http://tinypic.com/r/qxw4mg/5
[08:57] <almoxarife> BernSamson: the 'r' thing may just be a gnome-shell option, not sure
[08:57] <godofmischief> when i setup my displays in the NVIDIA x Server Setting I attempt to save to X configuration file, it responds with You do not have adequate permission to open this file, any suggestion on how to fix this ?
[08:57] <Maxy1982> almoxarife: sorry http://i44.tinypic.com/qxw4mg.jpg
[08:57] <BernSamson> more than likely it is...I'm running Unity shell
[08:58] <prince_jammys> godofmischief: if it is trying to write to /etc/X11/xorg.conf, you'd need to run the prog as superuser, with sudo or gksudo.
[08:58] <BernSamson> I went to dashboard and typed 'r' and came up with restart...entered 'shu' and got shutdown manager
[08:58] <elrusohos> how do I set llvmpipe to be the default software rasterizer? (using oneiric and LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1)
[08:58] <prince_jammys> godofmischief: gksudo if it is a gui prog.
[08:59] <godofmischief> prince_jammys, gksudo appname ?
[08:59] <prince_jammys> godofmischief: yes, gksudo nvidia-blahblah
[08:59] <prince_jammys> is it a gui program?
[08:59] <almoxarife> Maxy1982: the first pic showed a terminal within a desktop with a lot to do with installing grub, the last pic is a grub rescue screen, two different things, why?
[08:59] <godofmischief> prince_jammys, yes its the nvidia x server setting gui
[09:00] <prince_jammys> godofmischief: nvidia-xconfig ?
[09:00] <prince_jammys> anyway, gksudo should do.
[09:01] <BernSamson> everyday I'm learning more and more about linux and ubuntu
[09:01] <godofmischief> prince_jammys, thanks that atleast puts me in the correct direction now just have to figure out the command to launch the app
[09:01] <BernSamson> and fully coming to grasp with the power it really puts in your hand
[09:01] <Maxy1982> almoxarife: first pic is in a live cd trying to fix the grub second one is what i get when i turn the laptop on
[09:01] <prince_jammys> godofmischief: how were you launching a moment ago?
[09:01] <BernSamson> there are things so awesome
[09:02] <godofmischief> prince_jammys, clicking on the nvidia x server settings icon through unity
[09:02] <prince_jammys> godofmischief: i've lost track, but i think this app used to be called nvidia-xconfig.
[09:02] <prince_jammys> i don't know how to check what progs the icons point to.
[09:03] <almoxarife> Maxy1982: on the live cd, isn't grub repair an option?, actual grub repair is not my forte
[09:03] <godofmischief> prince_jammys, posted a few errors when i did that, nvidia-xconfig that is, then it says it saved my config to xorg.conf though
[09:03] <makara> prince_jammys: thanks you're right. it kills everything. ctrl-alt-backspace
[09:03] <godofmischief> prince_jammys, that may have done the trick
[09:03] <raptor67682> hello. what to use to fstab to mount the nfs share ? e.g. at boot ? <IP_ADDRESS>:/share  /share defaults,auto 0 0 ?
[09:03] <prince_jammys> godofmischief: hopefully :)
[09:04] <Maxy1982> almoxarife: ok forget the first pic how can i repair the problem in the second pic
[09:04] <prince_jammys> !nfs | raptor67682
[09:04] <almoxarife> Maxy1982: on the live cd, isn't grub repair an option?, actual grub repair is not my forte
[09:06] <Maxy1982> almoxarife: on live cd i think it can be repaird but dont know how. anyway thanks
[09:07] <almoxarife> Maxy1982: someone here must be a grub repair guru, who?
[09:09] <JoeDeso> sts vs lts if support isn't much of an issue and the server will likely be kept upgraded? do sts server edition provide much per release? will i be using up more space on the server in choosing sts?
[09:09] <raptor67682> indeed. I forgot nfs: so it would be  <IP_ADDRESS>:/share  /share nfs  defaults,auto 0 0     does that line work and boot at boot of PC?
[09:11] <RaTTuS|BIG> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair ,- may help iunstead of grub repair
[09:12] <Crash-O-D> Maxy1982, u only have ubuntu as a os option installed?

[09:13] <Crash-O-D> U have ubuntu booting before?
[09:16] <almoxarife> RaTTuS|BIG: that's an awesome looking piece of software, mbr too, it needs to get more attention in my opinion
[09:17] <RaTTuS|BIG> I'ved used it several times to save my bacon
[09:17] <almoxarife> RaTTuS|BIG: I saved the link for my bacon too, thnks
[09:17] <RaTTuS|BIG> +1
[09:18] <Crash-O-D> With all this bacon i want some home fries and eggs lol
[09:18] <Maxy1982> Crash-O-D: yes yesterday
[09:19] <Crash-O-D> Maxy was windows your main boot loader or grub?
[09:20] <evil_hog> does anybody here has experience of successful ubuntu/kubuntu x64 installation on GPT with efi partition?
[09:20] <Maxy1982> Crash-O-D: Grub
[09:20] <chute> Hello. I would like to access a community access point via my Wifi NIC and redistribute the connection via the Ethernet NIC to my Wifi router. Any suggestions or links on how to bridge the NICs would be highly appreciated :) Thanks.
[09:21] <Crash-O-D> Maxy, when you use windows does it show ubuntu as option?
[09:22] <Crash-O-D> Sorry on phone chatting so little harder then if on computer
[09:23] <Maxy1982> Crash-O-D: no it wont show
[09:23] <conntrack> hmm
[09:23] <Maxy1982> :)
[09:24] <Crash-O-D> What helped me fix my issue was if you can get in windows. Find option how to make windows loader show ubuntu. If i dont use windows i get grub recovery also
[09:25] <Crash-O-D> Can you get into windows?
[09:25] <Maxy1982> i cannot get in non of the os
[09:25] <fedy> video cards help
[09:25] <Maxy1982> only thing i can see is ERROR: File not Found

[09:26] <Maxy1982> the thing is windows i can fix it but i will lose the msc and ubuntu os's which am trying not to
[09:27] <Maxy1982> if there is a way to fix the grub it will be better
[09:30] <almoxarife> Maxy1982: you did a wubi install?
[09:31] <Maxy1982> mm not sure
[09:31] <fedy> my motherboard is made by ASUS and I was thinking maybe I should go with an asus 3650 video that i been eyeing
[09:31] <Maxy1982> can i find out from Live cd if its installed
[09:32] <almoxarife> Maxy1982: nevermind, you would know if it had been a 'wubi' install, you installed to a partion, yes?
[09:32] <fedy> but I researched the suppported hardware for ubuntu link and nothing saids about the Ati Radeon 3650
[09:32] <Maxy1982> almoxarife: yes
[09:33] <almoxarife> Maxy1982: not wubi then
[09:33] <Maxy1982> every os its own partition
[09:34] <almoxarife> Maxy1982: have you looked at the link http://sourceforge.net/p/boot-repair/home/Home/ ???? looks promising
[09:34] <Maxy1982> i'll give it a try
[09:34] <Folklore> anyone know how to edit the right click context menu listings
[09:34] <Folklore> for a file
[09:34] <Maxy1982> i followed some tut on google but non help i will try this
[09:35] <Folklore> like when you right click a text file shows apps to open that with
[09:36] <almoxarife> Folklore: in properties don't you see 'open with' ?? or something close to it??
[09:37] <Crash-O-D> I was beat to it lol
[09:37] <Crash-O-D> Good night
[09:37] <Folklore> I want to add something to the right click menu
[09:37] <Folklore> when you right click a file
[09:38] <Folklore> anyone know where those settings are stored
[09:38] <almoxarife> Folklore: you want to add a app that is not shown?
[09:39] <Folklore> yes
[09:39] <almoxarife> Folklore: and the app is already installed?
[09:40] <Folklore> it's just a elf binary
[09:40] <fedy> A search on the ubuntu launchpad forum I found this as the best result http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1103908
[09:40] <Folklore> not intsalled anywhere, just in a folder
[09:40] <fedy> they changed the launchpad forum the last time i visited
[09:41] <fedy> no more discussion topics listed
[09:42] <slacker-> Hi
[09:43] <almoxarife> Folklore: I had sort of the same issue come up, and I never got very far, the mime type for the txt file needs to be added to the app, but unlike the older versions there isn't a place to do it easily that I found, I tried thru konqueror thinking that it would work, it does not in a gnome session though, know what I mean?
[09:43] <slacker-> Is anyone running ubuntu on a i3 2120 with the on-chip video?
[09:43] <geirha> Folklore: Right click -> properties -> open with... -> add your command to the list
[09:43] <slacker-> I was wondering how well that works but couldn't find much info on the forum
[09:44] <Folklore> geirha do you know what file that's stored in though?
[09:44] <almoxarife> geirha: your version?
[09:44] <geirha> Folklore: It'll add a desktop file under ~/.local/share/applications iirc
[09:45] <Folklore> thanks ill take a look
[09:46] <geirha> Folklore: And it also changes an entry in ~/.local/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache
[09:47] <geirha> almoxarife: Every version of gnome that I can remember
[09:47] <almoxarife> geirha: I don't have the option of a 'manual entry' in gnome-shell 11.10
[09:48] <geirha> almoxarife: Hm. Never tried gnome-shell, but this is a nautilus setting really.
[09:49] <Folklore> thanks
[09:49] <almoxarife> geirha: if you know what the trick is please share, I thought it was an option before, but I don't have it now
[09:49] <sgo11> hi, how to change the gdm login theme in ubuntu 11.10?
[09:49] <geirha> almoxarife: If you right-click a file, do you see properties as a choice?
[09:50] <sgo11> if that is not possible, at least change the background image. thanks.
[09:51] <geirha> sgo11: 11.10 uses lightdm by default, not gdm
[09:51] <almoxarife> geirha: yes, I get to choose from various apps, I don't get to add one manually and not all apps are shown
[09:51] <sgo11> geirha, oh. sorry, I don't know that. let me google lightdm. so is that possible to change lightdm login theme?
[09:51] <geirha> almoxarife: right click -> PROPERTIES -> Open with, not right click -> open with
[09:52] <eradicus> is there a way to reset the sources.list?
[09:52] <almoxarife> geirha: yes, open with, a manual entry is not an option, what version of nautilus you running?
[09:52] <ppppurple> query, when i go to install Ubuntu 11.10 (first time linux user of any sort) it asks me if i want to run Ubuntu next to linux or erase windows and run ubuntu(not what i want) OR to create a partition for Ubuntu to run...which of these options are best?
[09:54] <hansiii> one question i added a route: "route add default gw <IP_ADDRESS>" how to delete it now?
[09:54] <Mr_Queue> eradicus: Yes, vim.
[09:54] <deej1976> hansiii: route del
[09:54] <somsip> ppppurple: do you want to be able to use windows too?
[09:54] <chute> ppppurple: create a partition for ubuntu
[09:54] <Mr_Queue> eradicus: Or look at something like apt-spy, read the very short man page.
[09:54] <RaTTuS|BIG> hansiii see man rout ebut replace add with del
[09:55] <hansiii> deej1976: yes but i dont know the parameters
[09:55] <deej1976> hansiii: man route
[09:55] <sgo11> geirha, thanks for letting me know lightdm. I found the config files under /etc/lightdm. thanks.
[09:55] <Fleck> hansiii route del default gw
[09:55] <conntrack> hmm, that wasn't supposed to happen
[09:55] <ppppurple> whats the difference between creating a partition for running ubuntu or running it alongside windows?
[09:55] <mazda01> can't ever figure out why conky will show up at first upon bootup BUT then disappear?? Here's my launch file http://pastebin.com/TkUQhK0X located in the startup apps and then here;s the 2 .conkyrc files. http://pastebin.com/J2CJ12pA  http://pastebin.com/GhWxaYHE  Any help please?
[09:56] <deej1976> !wubi | mazda01
[09:56] <conntrack> I will to watch those sticky connections
[09:56] <mazda01> !wubi | deej1976
[09:56] <geirha> almoxarife: Aha, just booted 11.10, and it is indeed gone. I guess you'll have to create a .desktop file for the app under ~/.local/share/applications first then.
[09:57] <mazda01> deej1976, not sure what that was about. i don't need Wubi
[09:57] <larryone> Hi guys
[09:57] <larryone> I have booting problems
[09:57] <almoxarife> geirha: that does it? a desktop file? cool, thanks
[09:57] <larryone> just rebooted after kernel upgrade, and wont boot
[09:57] <deej1976> !wubi | ppppurple
[09:57] <chute> ppppurple: you can either delete the windows setup and run Ubuntu on your pc or install ubuntu alongside your existing Windows setup and have the choice of booting either Ubuntu or windows at startup
[09:57] <deej1976> mazda01: Sorry it was for ppppurple:
[09:58] <larryone> it tells me that /dev/disk/by-uuid/11e5.......  does not exist
[09:58] <larryone> any ideas?
[09:58] <mazda01> deej1976, oh ok
[09:58] <filippo> Hi all, is there someone with the alc670 codec and successfully made its soundcard work?
[09:58] <mazda01> any conky masters in the house?
[09:59] <mazda01> can't ever figure out why conky will show up at first upon bootup BUT then disappear?? Here's my launch file http://pastebin.com/TkUQhK0X located in the startup apps and then here;s the 2 .conkyrc files. http://pastebin.com/J2CJ12pA  http://pastebin.com/GhWxaYHE  Any help please?
[09:59] <ppppurple> chute: yes i actually installed it alongside but i am wondering what the difference is if i had created a partition instead....?
[09:59] <rigved> larryone: how far in the boot process do you reach?
[10:00] <larryone> rigved, just found the problem =0)
[10:00] <ppppurple> deej1976: i use Virtual Box to run the program in Windows. just trying to understand it more
[10:00] <larryone> am booted now =0)
[10:00] <deej1976> ppppurple: If ubuntu is installed like a windows Apps it will run a little slower than if it was on it's own partition
[10:00] <RGUYASD> hail !!!
[10:00] <rigved> larryone: what was the problem?
[10:00] <mazda01> conky is even running according to ps  http://pastebin.com/jg0F1iGy
[10:00] <RGUYASD> what do i need for " make xconfig " to work ?
[10:00] <sgo11> how to disable the 'Guest' login in ubuntu 11.10?
[10:01] <mazda01> i've been dealing with this problem for a couple years and just never cared to try to fix it.
[10:01] <SqRt7744> hi, a couple of months ago I read about a python script someone wrote which automatically creates a html file containing a list of all the movies in a given directory (with images, text from imdb). It was featured on a ubuntu website, perhaps omg or ubuntugeek. Strange thing is I can't find any reference to it anywhere on the 'net. Can anyone here help me out?
[10:01] <larryone> rigved, some hardware was a little slow in coming up, and the booloader probably gave up waiting
[10:01] <ppppurple> ok, how do you unistall ubuntu OS once you have it installed?
[10:02] <SqRt7744> ppppurple, you could delete the partitions
[10:02] <muhammed> my empathy is not working properly.when it automatically close itself when try to use open it
[10:02] <larryone> just typed exit at the busybox prompt, and it came up alright now
[10:02] <ppppurple> SqRt7744: the only partition it make was for the swap
[10:02] <mazda01> SqRt7744, is it this? http://www.facebook.com/notes/programming-and-scripting-vault/tcsh-script-to-create-an-html-page-listing-files-and-directories-in-a-table-stru/175399059162376
[10:02] <chute> ppppurple: can you boot both OSs now? FYI, unless you use WUBI, you will be creating a new partition anyway.
[10:02] <SqRt7744> ppppurple, unless you installed it though windows, in which case add/remove apps in windows should do the trick
[10:03] <rigved> larryone: most probably the slow hardware came up later. the bootloader would would not give up automatically, it would ask you before giving up. but good that your problem was solved! :)
[10:03] <almoxarife> SqRt7744: xbmc should do it, but I am thinking the output file is a xml
[10:03] <SqRt7744> mazda01, cool, I'll have a look, but I could have sworn it was a python script.
[10:03] <ppppurple> chute: yes when i turn the comp on i can run either ubuntu or windows. ubutun runs a little slow so i was wondering it if would have been faster to partition off more then 4gigs that it made to run alongside windows
[10:03] <ppppurple> and i installed it off a bootable USB...
[10:03] <SqRt7744> almoxarife, thanks I'll have a look
[10:03] <larryone> rigved, that's what i'm assuming
[10:03] <JoeDeso> Short-term-support versions versus Long-term-support? Any benefit for the latter besides the support? Do 11.04 & 11.10 provide much for the server edition?
[10:03] <larryone> it didnt ask me tho
[10:03] <larryone> just dropped to the busybox prompt
[10:04] <mazda01> SqRt7744, i have no idea, just googled. LOL
[10:04] <mazda01> so does anyone use conky?
[10:04] <mazda01> can't ever figure out why conky will show up at first upon bootup BUT then disappear?? Here's my launch file http://pastebin.com/TkUQhK0X located in the startup apps and then here;s the 2 .conkyrc files. http://pastebin.com/J2CJ12pA  http://pastebin.com/GhWxaYHE  Any help please?
[10:05] <somsip> mazda01: where are you running the bash file from?
[10:05] <SqRt7744> mazda01, no that's not it, that doesn't do anything other than show the directory listing as an html
[10:05] <chute> ppppurple: yes, 4GB is a bit on the low side. Is grub your boot manager?
[10:07] <mazda01> somsip, my home dir
[10:07] <mazda01> somsip,  conky is even running according to ps  http://pastebin.com/jg0F1iGy
[10:07] <mazda01> SqRt7744, didn't think it was that easy. :(
[10:07] <rigved> JoeDeso: 11.10 does have some new software, specifically juju. but LTS is always better as it gets more attention in regards to stability. wait for 12.04. by that time, most of the bugs in the new packages will have been sorted out. plus there will be more charms available by default.
[10:07] <somsip> mazda01: are you running it from terminal, or double clicking on it in Nautilus or what?
[10:08] <JoeDeso> rigved: good point, thanks!
[10:08] <paulo_gomes> hi all
[10:08] <fedy> anyone know about a agp video card capable w/ ubuntu. I am maining using for Photoshop type of stuff but no gaming yet
[10:08] <paulo_gomes> i'm having problems with gvim in 11.10, doesn't draw all the letters
[10:09] <mazda01> somsip, it's set to run from the start up applications gui.
[10:09] <paulo_gomes> i'm starting it with -f because of the menu problem
[10:09] <RGUYASD> anyone in here compiled a kernel before ?
[10:09] <chute> ppppurple: could you elaborate on "ubuntu runs a bit slow"?
[10:10] <mazda01> somsip, if i just sudo killall conky after my machine boots up, then issue from the cli  ./.conkylauch  all is well.
[10:10] <geirha> paulo_gomes: Does it have problems only with non-english letters?
[10:10] <somsip> mazda01: I could be wrong, but you're starting a process, backgrounding it (and the second line in the bash file has a && at the end which does I don't know what) and then killing the parent process. I run conky from .xinitrc. But I'm no expert
[10:10] <ppppurple> chute: sorry, was googling ubuntu stuff. just when i click anything while on the ubuntu OS it takes like 2 seconds to respond and open a program. im not sure what the "grub" is
[10:11] <nooobie> hi guys, is it right, when i want to enumerate my network. to see ip adresses of other servers in my network and i want to scane from <IP_ADDRESS> to <IP_ADDRESS> i use: "nman -sL <IP_ADDRESS>/24"?
[10:12] <mazda01> somsip, i'll change whatever to be honest. like I said been just "dealing" with it for years now. can you point me to a place to run it upon startup from .xinited?  also, note I am running 10.04. Its a stable production box, so I am not upgrading at this time
[10:13] <mazda01> somsip, also, i found that launch file commands online. the exit doesn't "kill" the process as you said, which is shown when I issue a ps . you can seee them running, it's a window manager thing i believe
[10:13] <somsip> mazda01: so maybe start by just running "conky -p 30 -c /home/daniel/.conkyrc " in a temrinal and see if your conky scripts work properly first. Then put it together in a bash script, and run it from somewhere that won't kill the backgroup process. What window manager are you running?
[10:13] <mazda01> somsip, i use gnome
[10:13] <somsip> mazda01: fair enough. But still start by testing each one separate in an environment you can control. Run from terminal, check they work. kill them. Edit the conky files and repeat
[10:14] <somsip> mazda01: k - not sure where thebest place for a startup would be. Maybe you have it in the right place
[10:14] <ppppurple> any one able to direct me to info on how to get rid of ubuntu once its installed on dual boot? would like to reinstall it
[10:15] <chute> ppppurple: I would suggest you run as is and get a bit used to ubuntu. Once convinced, do a more informed new install.
[10:15] <mazda01> somsip, i've done all that. lol. here's it running successfully from the bash launch script. https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-buTwVKoJcyM/TuCORwQY5wI/AAAAAAAABZE/A4ja3NMUS2I/s720/Screenshot-1.png
[10:16] <chute> ppppurple: just reinstall Ubuntu from your liveCD, changing your partition sizes.
[10:16] <ppppurple> chute: i have been playing with it in Virtual Box quite a bit
[10:16] <ppppurple> hmmm ok ill try that
[10:16] <mazda01> somsip, i appreciatee your help! i am not trying to being "snippy" or anytyhing. I am just pointing out I have tried and tried all you're suggesting. May I see your .conkyrc?
[10:16] <somsip> mazda01: so the problem is it doesn't run automatically on startup? Maybe I missed the root problem you are having
[10:17] <mazda01> somsip, it runs upon start up. the problem is that it seems to disappear from view, BUT per a ps aux command conky is still running
[10:17] <themachinegun> I NEED HELP?.. I M USING YLMS WUBI LINUX.. AND NMAP AND OTHER HACKING RELATED SOFTWARES ARE NOT RUNNING PROPERLY
[10:17] <Maxy1982> almoxarife: thanks you soo much for your help i have fixed the Grub with the link you gave me
[10:18] <mazda01> somsip, actually, about that pic i just uploaded. all my desktop icons on the left are hidden somehow but if i hover over them with te mouse cursor they temporarily reappear. LOL
[10:18] <Madis85> Hi, is this the right place to ask questions about RDP behavior in 10.04?
[10:18] <almoxarife> Maxy1982: you welcome, actually someone else came up with the link, I forget who now, share the link :)
[10:18] <mazda01> themachinegun, no capitals please!
[10:18] <mazda01> themachinegun, we don't like being yelled at. LOL
[10:18] <somsip> mazda01: so what does the && do on line 4? Just out of interest, like
[10:19] <mazda01> Madis85, sure, ask away
[10:19] <Madis85> none of the umlauts work correctly when connecting to a windows server by rdp, no matter what i set the keyboard layout
[10:20] <Madis85> i just get some sort of combination of characters "'u" "[o" and so on
[10:20] <mazda01> somsip, it's my understanding thats what allows other command to run after that command BUT only if that command is successful. I think, LOL  I am no a bash guy at all, just found that online somewhere
[10:20] <themachinegun> ok.. and i also want to ask about live hacking o/s?..
[10:20] <somsip> mazda01: you have two of them. I'm not sure if this is a good thing
[10:21] <baresedoc> ciao a tutti
[10:21] <baresedoc> list!
[10:21] <mazda01> somsip, examples are probably everywhere online of using the double &&
[10:21] <ranjan_> hi all

[10:22] <mazda01> somsip, ok, so you're suggesting remove the second & from the second conky?
[10:22] <mazda01> somsip, as I said, i'll try anything. LOL
[10:22] <ranjan_> i used clonezilla for cloning ubuntu machine, when i restore the machine the grub prompt shows an error "no arguments specified" is there any workaround to solve that
[10:23] <VP> ubuntu 10.10, Huawei E1550 modem (3g) connects with Docomo and other 2g sim cards but not with BSNL 3g :)
[10:23] <mazda01> somsip, just found this, care to read it? http://binbashblog.blogspot.com/2010/02/my-conky-scripts-and-how-to-run.html
[10:23] <somsip> mazda01: I think it looks wrong. I don't imagine it's killing the script, but you should start from something that looks right I guess. Does it all work if you run this script from terminal?
[10:23] <somsip> mazda01: And?
[10:23] <mazda01> somsip, so I do see my bash script may be outdated.
[10:24] <mazda01> somsip, yes, as I said. I can run from terminal and all is well. I keep trying to say I think it's some window overlay issue or something
[10:24] <baresedoc> ciao a tutti

[10:25] <bazhang> !it | baresedoc
[10:25] <somsip> mazda01: and I'm only guessing based on what we've got here. I'm no expert and maybe a conky expert could help much more
[10:26] <Madis85> none of the umlauts work correctly when connecting to a windows server by rdp, no matter what i set the keyboard layout, i just get some sort of combination of characters "'u" "[o" and so on, any way to get those characters to work?
[10:27] <mazda01> somsip, ok, new bash script runs fine also but as I said, my dekstop icons are getting covered up again after running it
[10:27] <mazda01> somsip, here's new script
[10:28] <mazda01> somsip, http://pastebin.com/Gaegfmiu
[10:28] <mazda01> somsip, do you use conky? if so, can I see your .conkyrc file please?

[10:31] <Caterpillar> omg 1548 users
[10:31] <Caterpillar> never seen so many people in one chan
[10:31] <bbbbbbbb> i can't get my wlan enabled, it says "wireless is disabled by hardware switch" - i only have a fn+f12 hotkey, and that doesn't do anything.
[10:32] <soreau> bbbbbbbb: Does it work if you run rfkill unblock wifi ?
[10:32] <somsip> mazda01: sorry have to finish for a while. You do need someone with more experience with conky thanme
[10:32] <bbbbbbbb> soreau: nope
[10:35] <almoxarife> bbbbbbbb: is it off at the bios?
[10:35] <Folklore> what's the mime for elf binaries?
[10:36] <Folklore> can't see it listed only a lot of different entries like application/pdf
[10:36] <Folklore> application/cvs etc...
[10:36] <bbbbbbbb> almoxarife: is there a way to check without rebooting? i believe it is not off, but i can't reboot right now
[10:37] <almoxarife> bbbbbbbb: that is beyond me, perhaps looking at kernel log? better yet, it would be on at bios if it ever worked
[10:38] <mazda01> somsip, so you can't paste your .conkyrc?
[10:38] <almoxarife> mazda01: sharing is not everyones forte :)
[10:38] <bbbbbbbb> almoxarife: it has worked, but i only used it once in windows, quite some time ago
[10:39] <almoxarife> bbbbbbbb: assume its on at bios
[10:39] <panv> please, I need help over here. I always face bad internet connection, and whenever i am downloading my mail from gmail to my thunderbird , if a certain message fails, i cannot download it again because the header will be marked as processed... but in fact i dont have it on my thunderbird...
[10:39] <panv> how can i tell thunderbird to download that specific message again ?
[10:40] <mazda01> somsip, thanks for your help though anyway. I know helping is most times a thanksless job. LOL
[10:42] <mazda01> conky launches and appears to cover up my desktop items, any thoughts anyone?
[10:43] <almoxarife> mazda01: what about adding your script to 'startup apps' ???? tried that already?
[10:44] <Sidewinder1> panv, You may be able to configure T-Bird to "Leave Mail on Server", rather than having it deleted after being processed.
[10:44] <dr_willis> mazda01:  when lanching conky at login. ive gad to make it run via a script after a 20 sec delay
[10:44] <mazda01> almoxarife, yes, it's not an issue of whether it runs or not or upon startup, it's some config setting i the conky file
[10:44] <panv> thank you Sidewinder1... but now it's too late right ?
[10:44] <panv> coz the error is just happening... and i am fowarding the message to myself :)
[10:44] <mazda01> dr_willis, yes, I know. it's something either with the own_window or double_buffer settings.
[10:45] <dr_willis> ive seen conky work right ir mess up. with no changes to its cinfigs. unuty and conky like to fight
[10:45] <preksha> nybody thr?
[10:45] <mazda01> dr_willis, dont run unity
[10:45] <almoxarife> mazda01: what about opening a terminal and executing your script line by line? find the line that causes the problem first?
[10:45] <dr_willis> id check askubuntu.com about the conky issue
[10:46] <Sidewinder1> panv, Not sure; I always just used gmail through browser and T-Bird for personal/private email acct. Perhaps you could request the sender to "resend?"
[10:46] <mazda01> does anyone have a basic conkyrc file I could check out? who uses gnome and NO composite manager. please
[10:46] <mazda01> almoxarife, there is no problem that I see, here's the log from running from a terminal  http://pastebin.com/0HAXdEn9
[10:46] <dr_willis> mazda01:  conky can generate one. check its --help
[10:47] <Sidewinder1> mazda01, I believe there hundreds, if not thousands on ubuntu-forums.
[10:47] <almoxarife> mazda01: still, there is a line that wipes out the icons, I am no script guru, but I would want to know which line caused it
[10:47] <dr_willis> over 9000? :-)
[10:47] <Sidewinder1> there are, even.
[10:48] <mazda01> Sidewinder1, thanks, ive been dealing with the issue for over 2 years and I've tried "thousands" of configs only to come to same issue
[10:48] <jelly> Hi, is there a ready-made DBD::Oracle package (libdbd-oracle-perl) for Ubuntu LTS?
[10:49] <Sidewinder1> mazda01, Doesn't sound like fun. :-(
[10:50] <almoxarife> mazda01: why are the icons on the desktop an issue? do they need to be there? I don't have a single icon on the desktop, top bar and cairo-dock at bottom, empty space inbetween
[10:50] <mazda01> I GOT IT, had to change the own_window from NO to YES.
[10:50] <almoxarife> :) two years, we got to see it
[10:51] <dr_willis> took 2 years to try that?

[10:51] <mazda01> almoxarife, lol, just never took the time to care enough to fix it.
[10:52] <mazda01> almoxarife, except this morning logged into workstation and thought, gosh darn it. i am going to make conky work!
[10:52] <isnomnicon>  should understand that you can leave Irssi running all the time under screen, detach from screen and disconnect from your shell, come back later, login and reattach and there Irssi will be. You should also see that with screen, you will have the ability to log in from anywhere and continue your IRCing (or whatever work you're doing in another screen window) just as you left it. Yes, it's good, I know.ould have reappeared. This is the point where you sta
[10:52] <almoxarife> mazda01: you need a new stressor
[10:52] <isnomnicon> exit
[10:53] <mazda01> almoxarife, yeap, on to the next thing in my 10.04 setup. LOL
[10:53] <mazda01> almoxarife, been using ubuntu since dapper and LOVIN IN!!!
[10:54] <nsivyer> does anyone know who is in charge of the ubuntu ntp server?
[10:54] <almoxarife> mazda01: you want stress? 11.10 gnome-shell, that should keep you busy
[10:54] <Sidewinder1> mazda01, I'm sure, after 2 yr.s you've seen this; if not, try posting your problem on the last page: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=281865&highlight=conky
[10:54] <mazda01> it's the only reason I am so vex'd on so many aspects of linux (debian based) in general. Create an issue, research, google, irc, SOLVE. Love it
[10:54] <mazda01> Sidewinder1, im well aware of the forums. not bragging but i have almost 5,000 posts
[10:54] <joske> #ics_desire_nexus_dev
[10:55] <mazda01> Sidewinder1, im a busy body helper most times.
[10:55] <mazda01> Sidewinder1, but this silly conky issue had me on my knees. LOL
[10:55] <mazda01> Sidewinder1, i am dannyboy79 on the forums
[10:56] <mazda01> anyone know an easy way to make desktop icons smaller?
[10:56] <Sidewinder1> mazda01, I haven't been on too much, lately; only a couple of hundred beans..
[10:56] <mazda01> i have a custom genoid theme but isn't there like a DPI setting somewhere to control size of icons on desktop
[10:57] <mazda01> Sidewinder1, it's all good. as i said I wasn't trying to brag about my bean count I was merely showing proof that I was aware of the forums
[10:57] <mazda01> Sidewinder1, like I said, been using ubuntu since dapper
[10:58] <mazda01> anyone know where to find a genral setting for desktop icon size?
[10:58] <almoxarife> mazda01: and icon size is still an issue? how would you do it in dapper?
[10:58] <mazda01> almoxarife, pffft, not sure how to read that. u joking?
[10:59] <mazda01> almoxarife, i never claimed be some know all expert.
[10:59] <Sidewinder1> mazda01, But, did you post your problem in the thread that I gave you? It started in Oct. '06 and is over 1,800 pages long..
[10:59] <nsivyer> it looks like ntp.ubuntu.com is experiencing issues,  random connection drops
[10:59] <mazda01> Sidewinder1, no because as I stated. I never really cared enough to figure it out, much more pressing things to work on. It's all fixed now and thats good
[11:00] <Sidewinder1> mazda01, If the guys/gals who frequent that thread can't answer, there may be 'no answer." :-(
[11:00] <Sidewinder1> Ok, but I do understand frustration.. :D
[11:01] <mazda01> almoxarife, sorry if I came off as some expert. I didn't mean to. been on ubuntu since dapper BUT still learn NEW things in ubuntu daily whether it be to use x11vnc thru a secure ssh tunnel from work OR maybe using the latest svn kdenlive to do video editing of my video game play and upload to youtube.
[11:01] <mazda01> Sidewinder1, it's working, maybe you missed that I said I solved it
[11:02] <Sidewinder1> Congrats!
[11:02] <mazda01> doubt anyone cares BUT this is my Youtube channel and it's ALL done with ubuntu, kino, and kdenlive (and of course ffmpeg for screencasts and xbox 360 for gameplay)
[11:02] <mazda01> http://www.youtube.com/user/dansnewaddress?feature=mhee
[11:03] <mazda01> back to the new question, anyone know how to change default icon size of the desktop icons?
[11:03] <almoxarife> I want to associate a uri to an app, sop to xbmc, I can't get started, sopcast associates to sop , anyone know what I am talking about?
[11:04] <|TTTTT|> Hi room
[11:04] <|TTTTT|> i have not been to irc for yrs
[11:04] <|TTTTT|> just like to know if this is a singapore chatroom?
[11:05] <mazda01> almoxarife, don't use sopcast but do use xbmc. sorry can't help
[11:05] <Sidewinder1> |TTTTT|, Welcome! And it's multi-national.
[11:05] <xcv> Hi, I would like to use Lotus symphony , so I downloaded the deb archive, but when I type in terminal symphony it say "-bash: symphony: command not found". WTF? how to launch the program?
[11:06] <mazda01> xcv, you have to first install the .deb file
[11:06] <|TTTTT|> Hi sidewinder... tks... like to ask u something
[11:06] <|TTTTT|> u mind if i pte msg u?
[11:06] <almoxarife> mazda01: and since you do use it, wouldn't it be nice to click on a sop url and off it went to open it?
[11:06] <xcv> mazda01:  I did it.
[11:06] <Sidewinder1> !pm | |TTTTT|
[11:06] <mazda01> almoxarife, what is a sop url? some sort of website where soapoperas are held?
[11:07] <mazda01> xcv, congrats
[11:07] <mazda01> where is the settings for default icons on the desktop size, need to make icons smaller.
[11:07] <xcv> But it don't appear in menu, and the file /usr/bin/symphony seem to point to inexistant file
[11:07] <mazda01> guess ill check out gconf-editor
[11:08] <almoxarife> mazda01: soaps? could I guess, never saw one with sop, but I assume someone outthere has done it
[11:08] <xcv> I have nothing on the desktop
[11:08] <mazda01> almoxarife, ok, i guessed. as I said I don;t know what a "sop" is
[11:08] <mazda01> xcv, so did the deb installer says it ran correctyl?
[11:08] <Sidewinder1> !pm | |TTTTT|
[11:09] <mazda01> xcv, which version of ubuntu you using? 10.04, 10.10, 11.04, 11.10?
[11:09] <meerkats> How do I install NVIDIA-Linux-x86-290.10.run in my 11.10?
[11:09] <xcv> mazda01: it said that it was installed succesfull, and it is on 10.04
[11:10] <almoxarife> meerkats: you don't, you install nivida current unless you want to fight a install
[11:11] <meerkats> almoxarife, is it that difficult?
[11:11] <almoxarife> meerkats: not at all
[11:11] <preksha> folks how do i use xmlrpc in my _nodeapi ?
[11:11] <meerkats> almoxarife, any link to "fight" the installation?
[11:11] <mazda01> xcv, ah,, you're speaking my langauge. lol  so it didn't install anywhere in the menu? go to system, pref, main menu and view each category to see if it's maybe NOT check marked.
[11:12] <mazda01> meerkats, you comforatble working from command line?
[11:12] <almoxarife> meerkats: how do you install stuff on your machine?
[11:12] <demosfar> how to check what interface uses my wireless card?
[11:12] <meerkats> almoxarife, sometimes i need to compile
[11:12] <mazda01> demosfar, interface? you mean like wlan0 etc etc?
[11:12] <demosfar> mazda01, yes
[11:12] <mazda01> demosfar, lshw normally is pretty helpful
[11:13] <mazda01> demosfar, sudo lshw
[11:13] <almoxarife> meerkats: seems you should be able to do the apt get thing then, the package you want is nvidia-current
[11:13] <almoxarife> !info nvidia-current
[11:13] <dwarder> wc
[11:14] <demosfar> maybe to add | grep ?
[11:14] <mazda01> hmmmm, not finding anything about desktop icon size in gconf-editor. darn it
[11:14] <demosfar> to list only wifi..
[11:14] <meerkats> I already have 280.13 I was aiming to 290.10
[11:14] <meerkats> anyways im reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingRunPackage
[11:14] <mazda01> demosfar, well, i am not sure what info you're looking for. i may have a better command if I better understood what you're doing
[11:15] <demosfar> I found it. It's on eth2 interface..
[11:15] <xcv> mazda01: no I cannot find it. But with this tree: http://www.mediafire.com/?vsvl77za5ydd5a5 Where is the launcher of symphony?
[11:16] <mazda01> demosfar, doesn't make any sense. normally "eth" interfaces are for NIC's not wifi cards
[11:16] <demosfar> one more question...in ubuntu 11.10 there is no package manager? (I wan to install grub2 customizer, but in software center i cannot find that program)
[11:16] <demosfar> i know... my crazy comp :)
[11:17] <mazda01> xcv, you'll find people willing to help more if you used pastebin next time. let me look, one second
[11:17] <mazda01> xcv, just a "protip"  lol
[11:17] <deej1976> demosfar: apt-cache search grub2
[11:17] <theadmin> mazda01: New Broadcom drivers create eth* interfaces.
[11:17] <theadmin> mazda01: No idea why
[11:17] <xcv> mazda01: it is tooo huge to past in pastbin
[11:18] <almoxarife> meerkats: ppa? still easier than fighting it? ppa:ferramroberto/nvidia
[11:18] <almoxarife> meerkats: yes, the 210
[11:18] <demosfar> deej1976, there is no grub2 customizer listed after casche searc
[11:18] <almoxarife> meerkats: yes, the 290
[11:19] <SmokeyD> hey everyone. I switched my desktop from unity to xfce. I also wanted to try xdm instead of lightdm. The switch to xdm went fine, but now that I switched back to lightdm with dpkg-reconfigure lightdm, after rebooting, the x.org doesn't start. If I switch back to xdm, everything is fine, but switchting to lightdm makes light not want to start
[11:19] <mazda01> xcv, ok. did you read the full install tutorial of http://wiki.oseems.com/programming/symfony/setup-symfony-in-linux
[11:19] <meerkats> almoxarife, thanks, I was just about to run my .run as root
[11:19] <deej1976> demosfar: not in the repository then
[11:19] <mazda01> xcv, i am not familar with symphony is
[11:20] <mazda01> theadmin, ah, see thats a new thing i learned. LOL
[11:20] <mazda01> theadmin, not a wifi guy BUT good to know for future ref
[11:20] <deej1976> demosfar: startupmanager?
[11:20] <pzn> how can I know the reasons about a package exists in 11.04 and does not exist in 11.10? (trying to discover about package rpncalc)
[11:20] <SmokeyD> the screen keeps blinking from black to the console, tryinng to start x.org, and finally gives up
[11:20] <demosfar> deej1976, so, do u know any grub2 gui customizer other that startupmanager, cause i cannot remove entry from startupmanager..
[11:21] <mazda01> theadmin, was just telling someone how you learn something new in linux daily despite being a user since dapper
[11:21] <xcv> mazda01: there is a litle problem: they propose only .deb or .rpm package for linux
[11:21] <deej1976> demosfar: nope
[11:21] <SmokeyD> I can then switch to the console using ctrl-alt-f1, then reconfigure xdm to be the default, and stop lightdm and start xdm, and I can login again
[11:21] <mazda01> xcv, i thought you had a deb?
[11:21] <SmokeyD> but if I then switch back to lightdm, x.org fails to start again
[11:21] <mazda01> SmokeyD, you know what the X error is?
[11:21] <xcv> mazda01:  I cannot extract the txz or zip archive
[11:22] <mazda01> theadmin, you happen to know how to change desktop default icon size?
[11:22] <mazda01> xcv, cannot?
[11:22] <mazda01> xcv, not sure what you mean, you don't know how or you got an error?
[11:22] <newer> hello world
[11:22] <newer> ?
[11:22] <xcv> No because on the wiki they say to download tgz archive witch is unavailable
[11:22] <theadmin> mazda01: No ideas lol
[11:22] <mazda01> newer, hello world back at ya
[11:22] <RGUYASD> anyone in here can help me with make xconfig problem ?
[11:22] <SmokeyD> mazda01, will check (I guess in .xsession-errors?)

[11:23] <newer> 这是什么东西的
[11:23] <ror> Is there a ubuntu one support channel?
[11:23] <mazda01> theadmin, ok, i am using a custom genoid theme and i have only a 1280x1024 monitor and the desktop icons take up too much room. lol
[11:23] <newer> 表示不会用啊
[11:23] <mazda01> SmokeyD, 1 place to look sure

[11:24] <MonkeyDust> mazda01  please don't use the word n00bs here
[11:25] <xcv> mazda01: it is not Symfony but it is lotus symphony from IBM to be abble to read .doc without buying microsoft office 2010
[11:25] <theadmin> MonkeyDust: Why? Everyone was one someday, it's nothing to be ashamed of or anything offensive, imo
[11:25] <meerkats> After trying to install ferramosca's ppa I get this The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources. how do I bypass that?
[11:25] <mazda01> theadmin, for now, me. LOL   i've tried gnome-do and glx_dock  in the past
[11:25] <azriel> my computer keeps locking up, total freeze and the only thing i can do is restart does this sound familiar to anyone? ubuntu 11.04 with lxde on compaq presario CQ57, google has failed me
[11:25] <almoxarife> mazda01: ubuntu-tweak should solve your problems, not for 11.10
[11:25] <mazda01> MonkeyDust, ok
[11:25]  * theadmin uses Launchy on her machine, mazda01
[11:25] <theadmin> mazda01: Works great for me :)
[11:25] <mazda01> theadmin, will check it out. THANKS!
[11:26] <almoxarife> azriel: check your ram
[11:26] <mazda01> almoxarife, just installed ubuntu-tweak recently also. will rerun it. thanks
[11:26] <theadmin> mazda01: it's like gnome-do but looks better and isn't mono-dependent
[11:26] <azriel> almoxarife: what about my ram?
[11:26] <SmokeyD> mazda01, I fixed it by completely purging lightdm and related packages, and reinstalling it without the unity-greeter. Now it does start fine
[11:26] <mazda01> SmokeyD, awesome!!!
[11:26] <e01>  /j xfce
[11:26] <mazda01> so you guys like unity?
[11:27] <MonkeyDust> i don't
[11:27] <Exopaladin> I don't
[11:27] <SmokeyD> mazda01, now I don't have window borders in xfce though :(
[11:27] <azriel> mazda01 >:|
[11:27] <almoxarife> azriel: insure your ram is not the problem, then look at the health of your disks, then ????
[11:27] <SmokeyD> Login is fine, but the window borders are missing
[11:27] <SmokeyD> using the xfce session
[11:27] <mazda01> xcv, um, pretty sure you can open a .doc with openoffice or libreoffice
[11:27] <mazda01> SmokeyD, sounds like your missing your window decorator
[11:28] <azriel> almoxarife: Im sorry I'm not understanding you right now, check my ram for what? how? Health of what disks?
[11:28] <xcv> mazda01: Of course but With openoffice or libreoffice It display .doc like a draft. For sending CV it is impossible to be hirred
[11:29] <deej1976> xcv: I would export the CV to pdf and send that.
[11:29] <xcv> mazda01: It is because compagny want CV only in .doc, and reject PDF or ODT
[11:29] <meerkats> that nvidia drivers ppa doesnt have an available PUBKEY, how bad is that?
[11:29] <theadmin> xcv: Maybe you should consider another company.
[11:29] <theadmin> meerkats: Nothing to worry about to be honest
[11:29] <mazda01> SmokeyD, can you fire up gconf-editor?
[11:29] <meerkats> theadmin, ok
[11:30] <mazda01> xcv, so whats the end goal again?
[11:30] <MonkeyDust> meerkats  ppa's are maintained by one person only, it's not offical
[11:30] <almoxarife> azriel: you said your machine freezes, yes? and you have to restart. you want to insure your 'ram' is not the issue, bad ram is somewhat easy fix, $$$ aside
[11:30] <ror> come on guys don't be arseholes, every single recruitment company I've come across has insisted on .doc, it's nothing to do with the companies hiring
[11:30] <xcv> mazda01: , theadmin Because Every compagny who Hire beginer want only .doc CV
[11:30] <sebster> I'm using xubunte and I don't know how to make the screen settings permanent. Iv'e got the script to make the changes via arandr but I don't know where to put it. All tutorials I've seen were for different versions. Any ideas?
[11:30] <xcv> The goal is to be hired without buying microsoft office
[11:30] <mazda01> xcv, i use openoffice and just "save-as" to .doc
[11:31] <SmokeyD> mazda01, I can't type anything. I can open up a "run command" box with alt-f2, and I can click in it with the mous and click the buttons, but I can't type anything
[11:31] <mazda01> xcv, some formatting crap gets weird with bullets sometimes though but it serves my purpose
[11:31] <Sidewinder1> mazda01, Same, here.
[11:31] <azriel> almoxarife oh ok
[11:31] <azriel> kim ross is the ideal
[11:31] <xcv> mazda01: If I do that, ms office user will say that my CV is a draft -> CV go to the bin
[11:31] <ror> xcv: What do you mean, "Draft"?
[11:31] <SmokeyD> can I launch a command on the console and start it for a different display? So I can start xfwm or xfce-panel in the console on cltr-alt-f1 for the graphical desktop?
[11:31]  * Sidewinder1 Doesn't understans, has never heard of "CV."
[11:32] <mazda01> xcv, ok, sorry. this sounds beyound my knowledge. i would say look for a recently dated tutorial on install and using lotus symphony in ubuntu
[11:32] <Sidewinder1> understand, even.
[11:32] <xcv> Draft: a durty document
[11:32] <mazda01> xcv, or tell the MS user he's at the mercy of the all powerful GATES and you will not bow down. LOL
[11:32] <theadmin> SmokeyD: Sure... DISPLAY=:0 xfwm
[11:32] <theadmin> SmokeyD: etc
[11:33] <xcv> lol mazda01, I said this after the reject of position application
[11:33] <mazda01> xcv, ouch, sorry to hear that.sounds like a letter needs to be sent informing them to get with the times and not everyone can afford MS Word
[11:33] <xcv> mazda01: then he said "I hope You are not looking for a job because I will do all my possible to forbide my contacts to hire you"
[11:34] <mazda01> xcv, OVER A SILLY .DOC FILE?  wow, sorry for caps
[11:34] <xcv> I only said that I send CV with normes ISO format
[11:34] <almoxarife> CV???
[11:34] <mazda01> xcv, ok, why is this tut not working for you?  http://wiki.oseems.com/programming/symfony/setup-symfony-in-linux
[11:35] <mazda01> need coffeee........  Well, if you really need to, run MS Office in Wine or whatever
[11:35] <babilen> !ot
[11:35] <xcv> mazda01: I said I use only ISO 19005-1:2005 and ISO26300:2006, and that .doc don't match with any iso
[11:36] <mazda01> xcv, may even be easier running vbox with xp in it and MS office
[11:37] <theadmin> xcv: Actually, even if it doesn't, docx has an ISO standard...
[11:37] <xcv> mazda01: I wont crack a  software, neither buy microsoft. I don't want to make market part lying lol
[11:37] <almoxarife> CV??? resume?
[11:37] <theadmin> almoxarife: Yes
[11:37] <xcv> theadmin: docx has an iso standart not supported by 2007, and 2010 don't run on wine
[11:38] <theadmin> The poor girl (guy?) has trouble with LibreOffice's DOC conversion, which I agree, is no good.
[11:38] <theadmin> xcv: hey um, what about Google Docs?
[11:38] <almoxarife> xcv: for the love of god, do it in google docs, and go on with life!
[11:38] <xcv> Google doc sucks at .doc, and .docx
[11:38] <SmokeyD> mazda01, theadmin, I managed to get the xfwm4 and xfce4-panel started from the console using theadmin's tip.  Microsoft provides a web version of their Office products, search for "Office Web Apps"
[11:40] <SmokeyD> mazda01, what should I setup in dconf-editor to make sure the xfwm4 window manager and all corresponding stuff are started properly?
[11:40] <mazda01> SmokeyD, hmmmmm, setting your default window manager should have done that for you, it doesn't?
[11:41] <mazda01> almoxarife, coulnd't find desktop icon size in ubuntu-tweak. oh well
[11:42] <mazda01> theadmin, what was the similar type app you use to cairo-dock, glx-dock or gnome-do?
[11:42] <theadmin> mazda01, launchy
[11:42] <mazda01> theadmin, ok
[11:42] <arcsky> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
[11:42] <arcsky> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[11:42] <arcsky> how can i fix that ?
[11:43] <mazda01> arcsky, you have synaptic or similar package manager open?
[11:43] <deej1976> arcsky: Is the software center run or similar
[11:43] <arcsky> in ubuntu server not any gui
[11:43] <mazda01> arcsky,  you can't install stuff from terminal AND have synaptic or ubuntu software center open
[11:43] <kki313> Hey folks, I use "arista-transcode -d web -p "H.264" -o file.avi dvd:///dev/dvd" and it always stops encoding after 40 to 60 percent. Any idea whats going wrong?
[11:44] <Sidewinder1> arcsky, Then another apt-get, terminal runnung?
[11:44] <mazda01> arcsky, hmmmmm. issue ps aux | less and go thru and see what's running that would be installing software
[11:44] <SmokeyD> mazda01, no. I can choose between xfce session and xubuntu session in lightdm. But whichever I choose, xfwm doesn't seem to be running (there are no window borders, panels, etc)
[11:44] <theadmin> arcsky: You are running APT as root, right?
[11:44] <geirha> arcsky: Make sure there's no apt-processes currently running. E.g. ps -ef | grep '[a]pt'
[11:44] <mazda01> SmokeyD, what version of ubuntu again?
[11:45] <geirha> arcsky: If there isn't, dpkg has probably crashed at some point. So you may need to run dpkg --configure -a
[11:45] <mazda01> arcsky, listen to geirha. i sense wisdom in this one.
[11:46] <LEGRAND> ciao
[11:46] <sebster> is there a keyboard shortcut manager in xubuntu like there is in ubuntu? I can't find anything. I want shortcuts for minimizing windows etc. Any ideas? Ty
[11:46] <LEGRAND> !list
[11:46] <mazda01> theadmin, sudo aptitude search launchy  returned NADA. must not be in repos?
[11:46] <theadmin> sebster: Settings -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts
[11:46] <theadmin> mazda01: Ain't. There's a deb package on their site.
[11:46] <SmokeyD> mazda01, I'll install the gnome-desktop-environment, switch to the gnome session in lightdm, see if it works, and if so, switch back to xfce-session, maybe that resets the settings properly
[11:47] <arcsky> #  dpkg --configure -a
[11:47] <arcsky> dpkg: status database area is locked by another process
[11:47] <mazda01> SmokeyD, worth a shot. wish i could help more. basically the startup apps appear to be missing xfce panel etc etc
[11:47] <sebster> theadmin, yes, but there are no predefined commands for minimizing etc and I don't know them. Is that all there is? How can I find out the various command?
[11:47] <theadmin> mazda01: http://launchy.net/downloads/linux/launchy_2.5-1_i386.deb
[11:47] <deej1976> arcsky: sudo apt-get install packagename ?
[11:47] <arcsky> http://pastebin.com/RzHfhmz9
[11:48] <theadmin> sebster: Oh that... See in "XFCE4 Settings Editor" or something like that, it's under, um... "xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts" or something
[11:48] <deej1976> arcsky: looks like and update process is running
[11:48] <arcsky> pt-get install nmap
[11:48] <arcsky> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
[11:48] <arcsky> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[11:48] <SmokeyD> mazda01, where is it normally configured that xfwm4 and xfce4-panel, etc should be started?
[11:48] <theadmin> arcsky: Are you running the command as root?
[11:48] <theadmin> arcsky: Because that's a must
[11:49] <sebster> theadmin, I found some shortcuts inside the window manager, that'll do for now, ty
[11:49] <mazda01> SmokeyD, not sure. doesn't xfce have a system type thingy where "Start Up applications" can be configured.
[11:49] <geirha> arcsky: Does this output anything?  sudo fuser -v /var/lib/dpkg/lock
[11:50] <SmokeyD> mazda01, it does I think. I will check that as well. But I will first have to figure out the command for it, since I don't have any panels and menu's :)
[11:50] <SmokeyD> mazda01, thanks for thinking with me
[11:52] <mazda01> SmokeyD, in mine it's gnome-session-properties but obviously you're not using gnome. hmmmmm
[11:52] <arcsky> theadmin: yeah root of course
[11:52] <alex88> hi guys, actually libtiff-dev requires libjpeg6 but i wanted to installad libjpeg8 instead, how can i force the dipendence, maybe just set libjpeg6 as installed and install libjpeg8c from source
[11:52] <theadmin> SmokeyD: xfce4-session-settings
[11:53] <evilC> Hi all, I have ubuntu running in a virtualbox VM and it is saying 'The volume "Filesystem root" has only 0 bytes disk space remaining'. can anyone help?
[11:54] <theadmin> evilC: Um, you should have given it a bigger hard drive image
[11:54] <evilC> its 7GB...
[11:54] <evilC> its only a LAMP server...
[11:54] <theadmin> evilC: ...Hardly enough, a regular Ubuntu install takes up around 6GB and...
[11:54] <mazda01> theadmin, having a brain fart. how to remove an install .deb?
[11:54] <kki313> Any idea about the arista-transcode issue?
[11:54] <mazda01> remove an installed .deb package
[11:55] <evilC> OK, so how do I expand it?
[11:55] <theadmin> evilC: Oh, you mean... you're on the server edition?
[11:55] <evilC> no I have a GUI
[11:55] <theadmin> mazda01: sudo dpkg -P launchy # Something like this
[11:55] <theadmin> evilC: Then no big surprise. And you can't really expand a vdi, you must create a new one
[11:55] <kki313> Or any alternative command...
[11:55] <mazda01> theadmin, thanks!

[11:56] <arcsky> grr
[11:56] <mazda01> theadmin, trying what?
[11:56] <theadmin> Oh sorry
[11:56] <theadmin> Wrong person
[11:56] <mazda01> ok
[11:56] <kaiserfarrell> hi
[11:56] <theadmin> evilC: I don't recommend trying to copy the files over. Bad idea.
[11:56] <mazda01> theadmin, i was like, UH OH. i already ran that dpkg command.
[11:57] <Man_of_Wax> are there many differencies between approx, apt-proxy and apt-cacher-ng?

[12:04] <xcv> ""Office Web Apps"" is worst than openoffice for .doc
[12:04] <bha> har IBM thinkpad R50e, problemer med lyd
[12:05] <raidgh0st> Ubuntu seems to be the best option to have a stable workstation. When Microwhore only respond with screen of blue. Ubuntu is a true winner.
[12:05] <xcv> Why ubuntu and not mint?
[12:05] <theadmin> xcv: Well you don't have much more choice then
[12:05] <raidgh0st> Should we go for the 11.04 or the 11.10
[12:06] <theadmin> raidgh0st: Wait for a few months and see how wrong you were ;) Honestly, Ubuntu ain't the stablest distro around
[12:06] <xcv> theadmin: I think Lotus symphony is the best to read, make .doc

[12:07] <MonkeyDust> bha  english only here
[12:07] <jussi> !no | bha
[12:07] <Sidewinder1> raidgh0st, I would actually suggest, 10.04; it's actually supported longer than 11.04.
[12:07] <MonkeyDust> mentalt ute av balanse!
[12:07] <bha> ok
[12:07] <theadmin> raidgh0st: I dare to disagree, my Windows 7 setup does not fail me whereas Ubuntu keeps crashing, and other Linux distros work better.
[12:08] <alex88> hi guys, how can i force a dipendence in apt?
[12:08] <theadmin> alex88: You can't... APT isn't gonna let you break your system ;)
[12:08] <theadmin> raidgh0st: Guess it's just the user :D
[12:08] <alex88> theadmin: oh..so i think i'll replace manually the files :D
[12:08] <raidgh0st> theadmin: When you install windows 7, You add all the updates. You spend 2 hours. And the computer goes into "freeze" mode.  And all you get is a flashing - (Tried it 4 times) the same issue.
[12:09] <BetaBrain_> hi all
[12:09] <raidgh0st> Then i am open for another os
[12:09] <theadmin> raidgh0st: pm?
[12:10] <phenom> raidgh0st: And what breaks when you sudo apt-get dist-upgrade?
[12:10] <phenom> I've never had a problem with Win 7, I did however have something break every dist-upgrade
[12:11] <phenom> Ubuntu devs need to take the time to work on stability vs OMG MOAR FEATUREZZ!!!!
[12:11] <dr_willis> a reinstall of windows 7 here.. took about 7 hrs the other day..
[12:11] <phenom> 7 hours to install anything?
[12:11] <dr_willis> phenom:  next release is to be mainly a 'polishing' release i hear.
[12:11] <phenom> dr_willis: Call Geek Squad.
[12:12] <dr_willis> phenom:  yes. systemn restore from 4 dvd's and then the system had to reboot like 40+ times. for all the crudware im gessing.
[12:12] <dr_willis> geeksquad is a rip off.
[12:12] <phenom> dr_willis: They've lost me. I'd prefer Mint LMDE over Ubuntu.
[12:12]  * Sidewinder1 Tries to picture dr_willis calling Geek Squad..
[12:12] <evilC> bah shoulda used acronis
[12:12] <dr_willis> phenom:  whatgever then..
[12:12] <phenom> dr_willis: I agree, but I wouldn't spend 7 hours configuring anything anymore.
[12:12] <xuser1> hi linuxers
[12:13] <dr_willis> phenom:  this was not 7 hrs of me confioguring.. this was 7 hrs of putting in the dvd's and then watching it reboot and set itself up for the 'first time' booting of the os..
[12:13] <BetaBrain_> Hello. I have a problem, when compiling a kernel driver with more than 3.0 who explains to me why?  http://paste.ubuntu.com/763700/

[12:15] <dr_willis> xuser1:  look for unsupported/unofficial variants then.
[12:15] <phenom> But ubuntu has a big following so this honkey's opinion doesn't really matter.
[12:15] <phenom> :)
[12:16] <xuser1> i want say ubuntu with gnome 3 (gnome shell)
[12:16] <xuser1> no xubuntu or unity

[12:18] <xuser1> ok
[12:18] <meerkats> are nvidia graphics cards VESA compatible?
[12:18] <giles> How do I set my desktop to the default gnome 3 shell look and feel in oneiric oncelot?

[12:18] <theadmin> xuser1: And we won't support derivatives that do.
[12:18] <xuser1> ok
[12:18] <dr_willis> xuser1:  you need to find a UNOFICIAL UNSUPPORTED by this channel variant then.
[12:18] <phenom> MonkeyDust: I'd bet on a legit gnome 2 fork soon enough.
[12:18] <dr_willis> id bet any gnome fork will die off within a year.
[12:18] <MonkeyDust> phenom  MATE already exists

[12:20] <giles> Fusrodah: files and directories beginning with . are hidden
[12:20] <dr_willis> tell your file manager to show hidden files
[12:21] <dr_willis> or just hot ctrl-l in nautlils and type in the path
[12:21] <hever> Hello how can I deactivate unity via the shell and use gnome instead ?
[12:21] <deej1976> Fusrodah: nautilus: crtl+h show hidden

[12:21] <dr_willis> hever:  install some other desktop and select it at the login screen.
[12:21] <theadmin> hever: apt-get install gnome-shell
[12:21] <dr_willis> hever:  gnome-shell is the unity  alternative
[12:22] <Fusrodah> thanks
[12:22] <dr_willis> Fusrodah:  and CASE is imporntant in linux
[12:22] <giles> dr_willis: so I could also apt-get remove unity if I have installed gnome-shell?
[12:22] <Fusrodah> I'm trying to install shockwave flash from Adobe but it's so annoying
[12:22] <hever> theadmin, dr_willis if I search for it I found no package...
[12:23] <raidgh0st> The adobe flash is memory stuckable
[12:23] <MonkeyDust> hever  you have to activate the source
[12:23] <hever> hmm
[12:24] <meco> I just upgraded to 11.10, but now the sound has diappeared. Can I get some help on this?
[12:24] <MonkeyDust> meco  begin by typing alsamixer in a Terminal
[12:24] <arcsky> apt-get upgrade gets also a new kernel ?
[12:24] <giles> MonkeyDust: Where is the apt source for gnome-shell then?
[12:25] <MonkeyDust> giles  if you use Software Center, it asks to activate the source
[12:25] <xuser1> in found a ubuntu gnome 3 version
[12:25] <meco> ok
[12:25] <xuser1> ubuntu gnome shell remix
[12:25] <theadmin> xuser1: It's unofficial, though, so don't expect support from here.
[12:25] <xuser1> ok
[12:25] <giles> MonkeyDust: I don't use Software Center, I just edit /etc/apt/sources
[12:25] <Fusrodah> lwhy is something as simple as installing flash so difficult in Linux
[12:26] <theadmin> Fusrodah: It's not difficult, it's "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer".
[12:26] <MonkeyDust> giles  i don't remember the source name
[12:27]  * MonkeyDust launches ubuntu in vbox
[12:28] <giles> MonkeyDust: its oky, I will read about "ubuntu gnome shell remix"
[12:32] <PhoenixSTF> good morning Ubuntu
[12:32] <hever> MonkeyDust, I activated the source but it's still not available
[12:34] <meco> Alsamixer says "Headphone Jack Sense [Off]". How can I switch it back on?
[12:36] <Fusrodah> thanks theadmin, after watching code scroll up the terminal window for 5 minutes flash is now finally working :D
[12:37] <theadmin> Fusrodah: lols, that's all there is to it :D You have to learn to use apt-get or at least the Ubuntu Software Center.
[12:38] <meco> I cannot see anything in 'Sound' under System Settings that look out of order either.
[12:39] <Fusrodah> yes, I only got Xubuntu yesterday and its confusing. Wireless didn't work out of the box and I had to find code to disable touchpad clicks but now all seems to be working
[12:39] <Flamekebab> I'm setting up a VPS running Ubuntu. What would you recommend to run a mail server?
[12:39] <raven> ffmpeg maxrate obviously does not work - any suggestions?
[12:39] <meco> Sound fixed!
[12:40] <theadmin> Flamekebab: postfix I suppose, that's what everyone uses
[12:41] <sertaconay> raven: what's the problem ?
[12:41] <adon> hello
[12:41] <Alex609> hello
[12:41] <Flamekebab> theadmin, I figured there'd be a "what everyone always used to use" and perhaps a "these days you might want to try"
[12:41] <Flamekebab> I'll note down postfix for the moment
[12:41] <raven> sertaconay, i set maxrate to 2500k but it still goes to 6500 and above with mpeg4 coder
[12:42] <theadmin> Flamekebab: I never did set up a mail server, but I just monitor lines scrolling through this channel, note what people suggest/ask about, etc
[12:42] <Flamekebab> fair enough, I shall keep my glaziers peeled
[12:42] <raidgh0st> Ubuntu and Cedega, (to play windows games) how stable and gamefriendly (not problems) ?
[12:43] <theadmin> raidgh0st: Isn't Cedega discontinued?
[12:43] <hever> I installed gnome-panel but without any effect, I can't choose it in the login window. Shuld I change the login manager?
[12:43] <theadmin> raidgh0st: "Cedega Gaming Service itself is being retired"
[12:43] <jonathonf> hever: did you install gnome-session ?
[12:43] <valentin_> nicolas????
[12:43] <valentin_> fgq
[12:44] <adon> hello
[12:44] <theadmin> raidgh0st: Suggestion: PlayOnLinux.
[12:44] <hever> jonathonf, no ;)
[12:44] <hever> jonathonf, I'm not sure...
[12:44] <jonathonf> hever: OK, so install it and that should get you GNOME
[12:44] <valentin_> !,!,!,
[12:46] <jonathonf> hever: if you're after the fallback version you'll also need gnome-session-fallback
[12:46] <jonathonf> hever: if you want gnome-shell you'll need to install gnome-shell :)
[12:47] <sertaconay> raven: no idea but can i ask what you use it for ?
[12:47] <BluesKaj> hiyas all
[12:49] <ziggyfish_> Something is happening at the moment that is very hard to explain, When I press F1 the dialog that opens can't be closed (when you click the close button it opens the same window again). Also it steels focus so that you can't type things without clicking on the title bar while your typeing. It is happening now on my desktop (which has ziggyfish logged in). Does anyone know what the command that runs the help system?
[12:51] <theadmin> ziggyfish_: yelp
[12:53] <ziggyfish> theadmin: can I disable it some how?
[12:53] <theadmin> ziggyfish: I beleive you may be able to apt-get remove it
[12:54]  * ziggyfish arms is killing from clicking so much

[12:56] <roland> Hi. Can anyone recommend a laptop for *buntu, intended use is software development(embedded and other) so it should be reasonably fast to be able to compile software on site. I've had driver problems with most of the laptops I've tried, and i'm fed up with it. MAC and Win7 is not a solution.
[12:56] <RaTTuS|BIG> roland anything that is a year old or so ....
[12:57] <quigg> help needed. i amdual booting windows 7 and ubuntu. i reinstalled ubuntu and made new partiotions on free space and now when i start my laptop i get a message and black screen saying "error:unkown filesystem" "grub rescue>" and i can enter commands...what do i do!?!?
[12:58] <roland> RaTTuS|BIG: I have many laptops at work, which are a year old or so, and they all have their issues. I've tried a lenovo for a couple of days, and that seemed to work most painlessly.
[12:59] <jonathonf> quigg: sounds like you need to reinstall grub (or update-grub) so it knows about the new partitions
[12:59] <lengyue> hello everyone
[13:00] <lengyue> is someone here?
[13:00] <quigg> jonathonf: how would i do that? i dont think i can load any OS at this point
[13:01] <RaTTuS|BIG> quigg - boot from the install cd
[13:01] <lengyue> exit
[13:01] <quigg> RaTTuS|BIG: how would i be able to boot into windows?

[13:07] <Bhavesh_> ? ?
[13:07] <xuser1> what depends?
[13:08] <xuser1> is lightdm faster than gdm?
[13:08] <B3rz3rk3r> xuser1 depends what your needs are i think RaTTuS|BIG is trying to say
[13:08] <Sidewinder1> Ah, a piano player from Connecticut; Welcome!!
[13:08] <xuser1> is light dm faster?
[13:08] <RaTTuS|BIG> probably depends on hardware, config etc - why dont you try both
[13:09] <xkws49er_> Sidewinder1 -- me?
[13:09] <xuser1> on the same system ?
[13:09] <Sidewinder1> xkws49er_, Yes. ;-)
[13:09] <RaTTuS|BIG> xuser1 yes -
[13:09] <xkws49er_> Sidewinder1 - how do you know?
[13:10] <Sidewinder1> ;-)
[13:10] <xkws49er_> ...
[13:10] <cjfkdj> Creepy to say the least
[13:10] <xkws49er_> yes sir

[13:52] <ehsan> how can i  used aria2 download manager ??
[13:52] <ehsan> how can i  used aria2 download manager ??
[13:52] <jason00> question - if I delete 70-persistent-net-rules it should automatically regenerate the NICs upon bootup, right?
[13:52] <evilC> can anyone help me extend an lvm partition that is inside an extended partition? I have fdisk all ready, just not quite sure which options to pick
[13:53] <ehsan> how can i  used aria2 download manager ??
[13:53] <ehsan> how can i  use aria2 download manager ??
[13:53] <deej1976> jason00: Yes
[13:54] <jason00> deej1976: thought so. my onboard re-populates, but my PCI does not. I'm trying to set up a demo computer for a class with 2 NICs to do separate things. Hmm...
[13:54] <deej1976> !repeat | ehsan
[13:54] <deej1976> jason00: Is the nic visiable from lspci ?
[13:55] <jason00> deej1976: yes. I see both ethernet NICs there.
[13:55] <deej1976> ehsan: try sudo apt-get install aria2
[13:55] <ehsan> i install this, how use this
[13:55] <alaing> deej1976: just ssh back into my machine
[13:56] <deej1976> jason00: Does network manager display anything?
[13:56] <jason00> deej1976: no, I'm using the interfaces file... which makes me wonder... let me check it...
[13:56] <jason00> deej1976: wait, does the PCI card have to be plugged in to ethernet for it to repopulate? Because I havent had it plugged in yet
[13:56] <deej1976> ehsan: alt-f2 and enter aria2
[13:57] <ehsan> where shud alt-f2 ??
[13:57] <deej1976> jason00: Both possibitlies are possible, plug in might work
[13:57] <alaing> deej1976: I ran cat /etc/mysql/my.cnf | grep bind and it returned bind-address = <IP_ADDRESS>
[13:57] <deej1976> alaing: sudo gedit /etc/mysql/my.cnf and put a # before that line are restart mysql
[13:58] <deej1976> ehsan: You your desktop?
[13:58] <Sidewinder1> ehsan, Perhaps this will help: http://aria2.sourceforge.net/
[13:58] <ehsan> yes
[13:59] <negev> hi, if im running 10.04 LTS what is involved in switching to ubuntu-hardened?
[14:00] <alaing> in vim how do you save and exit?
[14:00] <jason00> deej1976: doesnt look like its working. :(
[14:00] <ehsan> i installed aria2, now  how i can download a movie  link whit aria2 ?
[14:00] <jason00> deej1976: ubuntu hangs for 60 seconds at startup, saying looking for network configuration
[14:00] <jonathonf> alaing: esc, :o, :q
[14:02] <ehsan> i installed aria2, now  how i can download a movie  link whit aria2 ?
[14:02] <alaing> jonathonf: i tried :o and it says "no write since last change ( add ! to override)"
[14:02] <alaing> lol : o
[14:02] <Sidewinder1> ehsan, Here is a link to the aria2 Manual, I hope that it answers your questions: http://aria2.sourceforge.net/aria2c.1.html
[14:03] <deej1976> jason00: Did you check the /etc/network/interfaces file
[14:04] <jason00> deej1976: I think we might be back. I just ran sudo ifconfig eth0 up and I see it now.
[14:04] <jason00> deej1976: Im not seeing it in the 70 persistent file but maybe if I reboot now itll see it
[14:05] <xangua> ehsan: if you mean with firefox, flashgot has aria support http://flashgot.net/
[14:05] <xangua> well at least aria, it doesn't mention aria2
[14:05] <jonathonf> alaing: might be :w not :o :S

[14:06] <alaing> deej1976: vim
[14:06] <deej1976> alaing: vim esc esc :wq
[14:08] <danileigh79> If I boot from LIVECD/USB, can I have GPARTED delete the entire WinXP partition from this HDD and increase the existing Ubuntu partition to take up the entire HDD?
[14:09] <Stanley00> danileigh79: yes, gparted is default in liveCD
[14:09] <popey> danileigh79: yes
[14:09] <Sidewinder1> danileigh79, I don't see why not..
[14:10] <popey> danileigh79: if the windows partition is to the left of the ubuntu partition then you can delete windows, then move ubuntu 'down' (to the left) the disk and then expand it 'up' (to the right) of the disk
[14:10] <alex88> hi guys, how can i reinstall a package with apt-get?
[14:10] <danileigh79> To all who answered, does it matter if my LIVECD is 9.10, but I'm running 11.04 on the HDD?
[14:10] <popey> alex88: sudo apt-get install --reinstall <packagename>
[14:10] <popey> danileigh79: shouldn't, no
[14:11] <popey> danileigh79: gparted doesn't really care about what's in the partition when you resize them
[14:11] <alex88> popey: oh, great! thank you!
[14:11] <danileigh79> popey: Thanks, I'm planning on moving all my WinXP files to a diff lappy, then turning this lappy into an Ubuntu only computer
[14:11] <popey> danileigh79: sweet!
[14:11] <ehsan> tnx xangua, i now can use aria2, but in not better than DTA
[14:12] <danileigh79> popey: Even though this lappy came originally with WinXP in 2005, it's getting SLOW... Ubuntu seems to run better than WinXP on this one
[14:12] <MeirD> Hello
[14:13] <MeirD> I want to create a SSH tunnel one my server so when a request comes from a host to download a file using SCP, it will be forwarded to a different server.
[14:14] <kki313> I'm starting to think that there is not a single working solution to rip DVDs in 11.10 :/
[14:14] <airtonix> kki313: how many "solutions" have you tried?
[14:14] <warfaren> if everything else fails you can probably just run imgburn in wine and clone disk
[14:14] <Pici> kki313: handbrake works pretty well for me.
[14:15] <alaing> deej1976: phpmyadmin still not letting me in
[14:16] <The_BROS> how to use Gimp in one window?
[14:16] <deej1976> alaing: Did you restart mysql ?
[14:16] <warlock_handler> hi
[14:16] <Barbarian> danileigh79, Thats fairly normal, windows has a lot of bloatware, needing frequent hardware upgrades. GNU/linux doesn't
[14:17] <alaing> yes and I rebooted the machine just in case
[14:17] <somsip> The_BROS: don't you need GimpShop?
 What is that?)
[14:18] <xangua> a gimp fork in one windows The_BROS
[14:18] <somsip> The_BROS: http://gimpshop.com/ I'm sure it had a one window layout but maybe not. Possibly worth looking at?
[14:18] <alaing> deej1976: yes and I rebooted the machine just in case
[14:18] <deej1976> alaing: Can you connect with mysql client from a remote system
[14:19] <Barbarian> xangua, ooh, thatll be useful for me converting people who are used to photoshop. Thanks!
[14:19] <airtonix> The_BROS: use gimp 2.7.x it has one window layout
 Thanks. I heard that gimp 2,7,3 is in one window, but it is unstable((
[14:19] <deej1976> alaing: mysql -h mysqlserver -p -u userid database
[14:19] <somsip> The_BROS: Ah ok. That's a new one on me
[14:19] <evil_hog> anyway, why do you prefer single window for gimp?
[14:20] <airtonix> The_BROS: gimpshop doesn't have one window layout. (it's also a fairly insignificant issue)
[14:20] <alaing> deej1976: At the moment I have a headless server and I'm using putty on my win7 machine to connect to it.
[14:20] <warlock_handler> is there any decent speech to text lib.. ?
[14:20] <warlock_handler> that can be used to build with ubuntu
[14:20] <alaing> deej1976: from putty I can access mysql and login with the same username/password that I'm trying with from phpmyadmin
[14:20] <airtonix> warlock_handler: nothing like at&t natural voices. no.
[14:21] <kki313> Pici: Handbrake just showed all chapters, but didn't start ripping...
[14:21] <deej1976> alaing: Can you connect with MySQL Workbench: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/workbench/#downloads
[14:21] <The_BROS> If I want to upgrade my Ubuntu to 11.10, what desktop will be better for using with Cairo docks? Gnome classic or Unity?
[14:22] <alaing> deej1976: actually should I maybe try #mysql?
