[00:00] <worstadmin> Fixed it
[00:00] <worstadmin> Im awesome
[00:00] <Locus_Asaf> jay: init.d is a file isn't it?
[00:00] <DasEi> blip-: I'm too busy to really go after your issue right now, it's not too hard else to install the right driver, so maybe find your g-card and ask here again
[00:00] <blip-> DasEi, np. thanks
[00:01] <shantorn_> blip do you kmow what card you have?
[00:01] <jay_why_bee> locus_adaf: not it is a directory...  lots of scripts
[00:01] <V13Axel> I have a rather odd situation. I just installed Ubuntu 11.04, and now for some reason, my 4.0 surround sound refuses to work. I've gone to Sound Preferences and changed it to 4.0, and made sure that the speakers were plugged into the right jacks, and they are. The main problem is that the master volume only controls the front speakers, the rear speakers are controlled by the ALSA plugin[plugin-container] under Applications, and refu
[00:01] <V13Axel> se to be changed otherwise.
[00:01] <Locus_Asaf> jay: should it be a !#/bin/sh type file?
[00:02] <blip-> shantorn, no it's a nvidia card in the laptop, anyway the problem here is that it's a Nvidia Optimus laptop ie 2 graphic cards.  And the official nvidia driver doesn't support this under Linux
[00:02] <Newbeeans> I typed the low resolution command....I now have - in blue going down the screen.
[00:02] <jay_why_bee> locus_Asaf: sure...  just make the script.  Reboot and test by hand.  Then put it in your init scripts.
[00:02] <shantorn_> i have the same system, let me get you what i used
[00:02] <Newbeeans> Should I do anthing or reboot?
[00:02] <c03> Can anyone help with an aptitude problem?
[00:02] <c03> http://pastebin.com/scEu5nvg
[00:03] <en1gma> im really wanting to put ubuntu iso on my usb drive but it wants to erase my grub4dos multi-boot options that i already have there....is there any way i can do ubuntu 11.10 iso on my usb stick and still have all the multiboot options i already have?
[00:03] <c03> I have tried all the apt-get clean all
[00:03] <c03> apt-get update
[00:03] <blip-> shantorn, ah ok.  I have a Lenovo T420 btw
[00:03] <c03> and -f install
[00:03] <FloodBot1> c03: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:03] <Locus_Asaf> jay: I'm not familiar with update-rc.d, what is that?
[00:03] <en1gma> if i just do pendrive usb setup i believe it will only have boot option for ubuntu
[00:03] <c03> I just write fast FloodBot1
[00:03] <c03> sorry
[00:03] <en1gma> so i still want to have some kind of multiboot meny so i can select my ISO`s
[00:03] <shantorn_> machine doesnt really matter its the optimus thats the glitch, give me 2-3 minutes to get it for you, it worked like a champ for me
[00:04] <blip-> shantorn_, great. thanks :)
[00:04] <Newbeeans> Channel: should I exit vim?
[00:04] <jay_why_bee> locus_asaf : it simply creates the sym links in all the rc#.d runtime directories.
[00:04] <en1gma> there has to be an alternate way then pendrivelinux
[00:04] <en1gma> come on peeops
[00:04] <jay_why_bee> locus_asaf: If you know your runlevel,  (say 2) you can just create a link to your script in /etc/rc2.d
[00:05] <Locus_Asaf> jay: sorry, sym links and runlevels are over my head
[00:06] <Locus_Asaf> jay: Don't want to be a pest and make you explain too much here
[00:06] <jay_why_bee> locus_asaf: in the terminal go into /etc/rc2.d     Then do "ls -l" and you will see all the sym links pointing tho various scripts in /etc/init.d
[00:07] <shantorn_> blip- what does the trick is ironhide driver system https://launchpad.net/~mj-casalogic/+archive/ironhide/ go to the bottom of this site and read about natty it works for 11.10 as well http://linux-hybrid-graphics.blogspot.com/2011/08/ironhide-branch-first-release-including.html
[00:07] <Locus_Asaf> jay: yes I see that, I see this for example "S99rc.local -> ../init.d/rc.local"
[00:08] <jay_why_bee> locus_asaf: cool... so the S is for "start" and K is for "kill"
[00:08] <jay_why_bee> locus_asaf: the number is just the order it is executed
[00:08] <en1gma> just msg me...i cant tell if someone has replied to me because im in 4 channels asking same thing
[00:08] <en1gma> this is ubuntu related and no help
[00:08] <Locus_Asaf> jay: okay gotcha so far
[00:09] <Locus_Asaf> jay: so how do I set up these sym links?
[00:09] <jay_why_bee> locus_asaf: so if you want to link this script to start in runlevel 2.  And you copy your script called "my_portfowd" in /etc/init.d
[00:10] <DasEi1> en1gma: you could have an additional grub2 chainloaded by the one in your mbr  to achieve it, take it asa hint, no walkthrough now, installed to a partition, not the mbr for that
[00:10] <c03> Can anyone help resolve this: http://pastebin.com/scEu5nvg ???
[00:10] <en1gma> yea but the one i have now should already work
[00:10] <Locus_Asaf> jay: Okay, I have a script that just executes the three iptables commands inside /etc/init.d/
[00:10] <jay_why_bee> locus_asaf: you link with the following command: ln -s /etc/init.d/my_portfwd /etc/rc2.d/S99my_portfwd
[00:10] <en1gma> i get an error with i try to do it with ubuntu 11.10 about needs to be a continuous file
[00:11] <Seperand> Whats the difference in xterm and uxterm?
[00:11] <jay_why_bee> locus_asaf: also make sure your script: echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
[00:12] <blip-> shantorn_, I thought there was no solution for this, so this ironhide lets you use only your discrete card on an Optimus system ?  Or it can switch between the 2 cards ?
[00:13] <shantorn_> it allows you to switch betweeen them, it defaults to the intel and you start 3d apps with optirun name of app from command line or change shortcut
[00:13] <blip-> shantorn_ hmm is this the same thing as the bumblebee project ?
[00:13] <shantorn_> the second page is an on going revoltion for it
[00:13] <Locus_Asaf> jay: That echo should be in the script you're saying?
[00:13] <shantorn_> its what bumblebee changed into
[00:13] <Newbeeans> I need to set my driver nvidia. How do I increase resolution?
[00:14] <jay_why_bee> locus_asaf: yes...  You will need to enable ip_forward on each restart.
[00:15] <Locus_Asaf> jay: is that what the echo does? I'm a bit confused because I haven't entered that command before, just the two iptable commands and the port forwarding worked
[00:15] <blip-> thanks shantorn_ I will try this out
[00:15] <overdub> googled for "install skype ubuntu 11.10" and got many pages saying to "apt-get install skype" but I get: Unable to locate package skype
[00:15] <overdub> anyone know how to fix this?
[00:15] <shantorn_> if in doubt google ironhide and read more
[00:16] <shantorn_> its an option
[00:16] <Newbeeans> How do I skip Ubuntu screen?
[00:16] <Newbeeans> I can't boot past it?
[00:16] <jay_why_bee> do a quick: cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
[00:16] <jay_why_bee> locus_asaf: see if it is set to "1"
[00:16] <Locus_Asaf> no it's set to 0
[00:17] <blip-> shantorn_ ok great.   btw you ran this successfully on a Lenovo system or other brand ?
[00:17] <klslsl> having funny problems
[00:17] <shantorn_> asus with optimus
[00:17] <jay_why_bee> locus_asaf: but it is working?
[00:17] <csdb> hi. Is there a way to tell apt-get/aptitude to upgrade from only 1 source?
[00:17] <csdb> Couldn't find anything in the manpage
[00:17] <blip-> ok thanks for the help shantorn_
[00:18] <shantorn_> sure thing blip-
[00:18] <klslsl> when i open a virtual terminal to try and stop xserver it wont recognise my password says login failed
[00:18] <DasEi1> csdb: you can edit /etc/apt/sources.list
[00:18] <Locus_Asaf> jay: I have glassfish server installed whose default network listener is on 8080, when I load the server on 80 its is successfully redirecting to 8080 so seems to be okay
[00:18] <klslsl> means i cant install nvidia driver
[00:18] <shantorn_> did you setup su password?
[00:18] <shantorn_> klslsl,
[00:18] <digz> My left click doesn't work in Ubuntu 11.10.
[00:18] <shantorn_> are you trying to su or sudo klslsl
[00:18] <digz> I'm stuck in the LiveCD, where it does work.
[00:18] <klslsl> ?
[00:18] <klslsl> sudo
[00:19] <csdb> DasEi1, do you mean to comment all of the other ones out? I was hoping for a more command-line way :-)
[00:19] <shantorn_> thats odd the password doesnt work, hmm beets me sorry
[00:19] <jay_why_bee> locus_asaf: if you flush your iptables does it stop working?
[00:19] <klslsl> sudo sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-285.05.09.run
[00:20] <DasEi1> csdb: is what I would do, though apt and dpkg have some options like holding certain packages and such
[00:20] <Locus_Asaf> how do you flush the iptables?
[00:20] <three18ti> what do you do when ubuntu docs say  /etc/inetd.conf should have a line in it, but your version of ubuntu doesn't use init scripts?  I feel like I should know the answer but I'm at a loss to explain why tftp doesn't work for PXE boot...
[00:20] <jay_why_bee> locus_asaf what all chains are you using?  iptables -F
[00:20] <Locus_Asaf> jay: nvm I found it
[00:21] <digz> anyone?
[00:21] <klslsl> also  when login it doesnt work sometimes have to take power line and battery off to start up then nvidia flashes up on screen and it does work
[00:21] <Locus_Asaf> jay: the flush doesn't effect the forwarding
[00:21] <csdb> I have to tell some users how to upgrade just our local debs that are in our local repo and I'm afraid of telling them to go edit the sources.list
[00:21] <Locus_Asaf> jay: the only thing that messed with the forwarding was doing a restart of the machine
[00:21] <DasEi1> Locus_Asaf: sudo iptables --flush
[00:21] <csdb> maybe I'll write an sed script...
[00:21] <csdb> is there a way to enable/disable sources via commandline ?
[00:22] <DasEi1> csdb: can use nano as editor or move/recreate the list
[00:22] <csdb> so that I could "disable all sources but mine; upgrade; re-enable disabled sources" in a script?
[00:22] <DasEi1> sure
[00:23] <DasEi1> man mv, man echo, man cut, man touch ..
[00:23] <Locus_Asaf> jay: is there a way to overwrite or delete the ln thing I executed, I think I messed it up slightly
[00:23] <csdb> DasEi1, thanks. I'll try to play around with a script that replaces sources.list,upgrades, and then puts back the original
[00:24] <jay_why_bee> locus_asaf sure, just "rm"
[00:24] <DasEi1> csdb: there you are
[00:25] <Locus_Asaf> jay: okay it's looking good
[00:25] <Locus_Asaf> jay: should I just do a restart and see what happens now?
[00:26] <jay_why_bee> locus_asaf: it is the only way to be sure... :)
[00:26] <DasEi1> csdb: on the other hand, try such 'games in a vm, you can easily bork systems with such
[00:26] <klslsl> ne programmer logically work out why password wont work in virtual terminal
[00:26] <econdudeawesome> Howdy all. Having a problem getting my printer to print in grayscale since upgrading to 11.10. Tried reinstalling hplip, no change. There is a new "option" too--"color", but nothing is there. ANyone having similar issues?
[00:26] <bfrederi> Hi, I'm having trouble booting 11.10. I've installed it from scratch, but every time I boot up, it stops around the "Checking Battery state" message. I think it has something to do with the nvidia drivers, but I don't know how to get rid of them.
[00:27] <Locus_Asaf> jay: not sure why the flush doesn't do anything nor if I need to change the ip4 port forward
[00:27] <econdudeawesome> bfrederi: I would get that occasionally. One thing to try is getting into a tty-shell (alt f1 through alt f6) once you reach that portion, and run the command "startx" or "gdm". Then restart and see if the xserver config righted itself
[00:28] <jay_why_bee> locus_asaf: It is curious.  I was wondering if you needed it at all...
[00:28] <econdudeawesome> bfrederi: if not, at least you have a good idea to start a fix
[00:28] <Locus_Asaf> jay: that sym link seems to have done the trick
[00:28] <methods1> where would i configure things that i use to put into intitab now ?
[00:29] <bfrederi> econdudeawesome: whenever I ran that, it would fail on me.
[00:29] <econdudeawesome> bfrederi: what error do you get? Is x installed?
[00:29] <jay_why_bee> locus_asaf.  Great news!   For more understanding checkout the man page on update-rc.d
[00:29] <bfrederi> econdudeawesome: as far as I know?
[00:30] <bfrederi> econdudeawesome: I'm running from the live CD right now, so I'm not sure how to check.
[00:30] <JoseeAntonioR> Hello! I have a problem. My best friend has been hacked on Facebook and wants to recover her password. Do any of you know how to get it back?
[00:30] <econdudeawesome> bfrederi: do you have a GUI, or are you running command-line?
[00:31] <bfrederi> econdudeawesome: GUI on live cd.
[00:31] <DasEi1> JoseeAntonioR: offtopic here, send FB an email (lol, and delete account), ask in #ubuntu-offtopic
[00:31] <JoseeAntonioR> DasEi1 Thanks.
[00:31] <Locus_Asaf> jay: thank you very much for your help
[00:31] <bfrederi> econdudeawesome: I can install anything from command line. It can't access the repositories for whatever reason.
[00:31] <econdudeawesome> bfrederi: interesting. I've had this issue before, but usually running "startx" would do it, or running "gdm" (well, Ubuntu 11.10 doesn't use GDM anymore, so whichever it uses. Let me check).
[00:31] <Locus_Asaf> does updating to oneiric really take several hours?
[00:31] <bfrederi> *can't install
[00:32] <econdudeawesome> !ubottu
[00:32] <jay_why_bee> Locus_asaf: Not a problem.  Glad I could be of some help.
[00:32] <econdudeawesome> !gdm econdudeawesome
[00:32] <klslsl> ubuntu is out of control no one know what to do life of its own
[00:32] <swooper> sup people
[00:32] <klslsl> im going to call my brother in law he codes in his sleep
[00:32] <bfrederi> econdudeawesome: trying to start gdm or kdm didn't work for me, it said it didn't exist when I tried from command line.
[00:33] <FireSt0rM> Is there a core package that one can install onto Ubuntu Server?
[00:33] <econdudeawesome> bfrederi: the standard install of Ubuntu 11.10 no longer uses gdm, it uses lightdm. But I don't know if the command is "lightdm"
[00:33] <econdudeawesome> bfrederi: you could try that, as lightdm tab-completes in my terminal (its what I use)
[00:33] <Locus_Asaf> has anyone updgrade to oneiric or how ever it's spelled? How long does it take to update?
[00:33] <klslsl> 'try that'
[00:34] <klslsl> hear that alot
[00:34] <klslsl> ...
[00:34] <klslsl> dont update install from scratch
[00:34] <econdudeawesome> klslsl: Yes. I am not a paid professional, nor are many here, but the complaints are typically statistically common, allowing us to call upon collective knowledge
[00:34] <john32> hmm for some reason eog won't open at all and i can't seem to find any logs of it or anything in terminal
[00:34] <econdudeawesome> klslsl: questions* not complaints
[00:34] <Locus_Asaf> klslsl: was that a response to my question?
[00:35] <klslsl> yes
[00:35] <klslsl> dont update install from scratch
[00:35] <Locus_Asaf> I'm in the middle of updating, is my ubuntu going to be screwed now?
[00:35] <klslsl> i saw that on a header on ubuntu disccussion forum in mibbit
[00:35] <klslsl> so i guess its good advice
[00:35] <econdudeawesome> any luck bfre
[00:35] <econdudeawesome> bfrederi: any luck?
[00:36] <jay_why_bee> I updated last night to 11.10.  I am on it now just fine.
[00:36] <klslsl> other than that have no idea what im talking about can code simple visual basic nothing more. bash is an anathma
[00:36] <cbilljones> can i start gnome from ssh?
[00:36] <swooper> are people freakign out about updating
[00:37] <bfrederi> econdudeawesome: I'm running from live CD, I will have to reboot to do anything. Then it takes like 100 years to load all this shit up from CD, so I'm goning to take my time and get a few solid ideas put together.
[00:37] <bfrederi> Or just switch to Mint Linux...
[00:37] <swooper> mint runs quicker?
[00:37] <bfrederi> swooper: I hear good things.
[00:37] <newmar> there is some package that i can use for listening music when i put the cursor in a music in ubuntu 11.10
[00:38] <bfrederi> Ubuntu is getting bloated in my opinion.
[00:38] <john32> okay ths is annoying i can't seem to get any output to why eye of gnome wont load
[00:38] <john32>  nothing in syslog, nothing in console
[00:38] <john32> nothing in gdb even with eog-dbg
[00:38] <leo-unglaub> hi firends, is the file preview sushi compatible with unity or only with the gnome shell?
[00:39] <swooper> bfrederi: bloated? good consideration -> after i updated to 11.10 on my netbook i went to xubuntu
[00:39] <john32> and too many useless posts like this one http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1001660
[00:39] <newmar> i installed sushi but doesn t work
[00:39] <klslsl> can someone tell me what backend, daemon and mysqil are
[00:39] <swooper> MYSQL?
[00:40] <klslsl> or summin like that
[00:40] <leo-unglaub> newmar: hmmm, but have you any  negative effects?
[00:40] <klslsl> pysquil
[00:40] <swooper> klslsl: cant u look those up on wiki
[00:40] <newmar> leo-unglaub, nothing
[00:40] <klslsl> oh i suppose yes
[00:40] <leo-unglaub> okay, so i will try it :)
[00:40] <swooper> daemon is like a background service i think
[00:40] <klslsl> i wish i understood the linux file name system
[00:41] <newmar> leo-unglaub, just when i upgrade to 11.10 stop working songs when i pass the cursor
[00:41] <swooper> ie printer daemon listens and acts on a port
[00:41] <klslsl> was just getting head around windows
[00:41] <klslsl> .exe etc
[00:41] <klslsl> ta
[00:41] <swooper> klsl: i think its a matter of considering what the devs though of. exe = executable etc
[00:41] <tensorpudding> klslsl, mysql is a database software
[00:42] <klslsl> whats a dev file or etc file for instance
[00:42] <ultima> hello guys, I'm trying the last version of Xubuntu (11.10) and I have tried yet the 11.04 but I had a lot of problems!! and so now I want to come back for another old release of Xubuntu.... what is the best??
[00:42] <leo-unglaub> newmar: well, it works...but beautifull is deferent :)
[00:42] <Newbeeans> Uninstalling again...
[00:42] <tensorpudding> klslsl, a backend is a abstract notion of the part of some machine, algorithm, software, etc. that does "heavy" processing work, and exchanges I/O with some sort of "frontend" which deals with actual humans
[00:42] <klslsl> i c
[00:43] <Lehthanis> I got a quick dumb question.  how do I shell into another server from terminal?
[00:43] <newmar> leo-unglaub, which package do you used
[00:43] <klslsl> never heard that in windows ha
[00:43] <leo-unglaub> sudo apt-get install gnome-sushi without any other ppa's
[00:43] <klslsl> mind u theyre all brain dead
[00:43] <tensorpudding> klslsl, device files are special files that abstract devices, etc is just a place where text files containing configuration are stored
[00:43] <klslsl> is there a good place to learn this on the net
[00:43] <leo-unglaub> newmar: and after this a nautilus -q to restart it
[00:43] <klslsl> for simpletons like me
[00:45] <DasEi1> klslsl: learn what ?
[00:45] <fugi123> Hey, I', in some dire need of install help
[00:45] <klslsl> all the lingo of linux
[00:45] <newmar> leo-unglaub, are you using gnome or unity
[00:45] <leo-unglaub> unity
[00:45] <klslsl> and simple bash commands
[00:45] <newmar> leo-unglaub, to me doesn t work
[00:45] <leo-unglaub> hmmm
[00:45] <leo-unglaub> newmar: well, i think you didn't miss anythink
[00:45] <DasEi1> klslsl: google is your friend, aka linux-filesystem, ubuntu-wiki, bash-commands ..
[00:46] <fugi123> I could use some install help if anybody has some sparetime
[00:46] <klslsl> whoever puts somehting together will be rich . it seems alot of newbies would like to learn but linux is populated with nerds who dont realise how much they know
[00:46] <klslsl> so theres a chasm in between. fill it an d make money
[00:47] <tensorpudding> klslsl, there's lots of tutorials on the shell though they tend to be oriented to teaching you the finer points of scripting and less basic admin commands
[00:47] <DasEi1> klslsl: web is full of it, and rich ? now retards with too much time and too weak brains ;)
[00:47] <tensorpudding> !language
[00:47] <usr13> klslsl: Linux is pretty well documented and it is pretty easily accessable once you realize it.
[00:48] <fugi123> Does anybody know what would cause the error "The ext4 file system creation in partition #1 of SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda) failed. "?
[00:48] <usr13> fugi123:  WHat do you need?
[00:48] <usr13> fugi123: Could be a bad HD.
[00:48] <klslsl> me im not logical at all. i would rather be tortured than try and complete a sudoku board. i learn by doing and feeling me. so not much hope anyway ha
[00:48] <tensorpudding> klslsl, there's the big old gnu manual for bash, it's kinda dry reading though http://www.gnu.org/s/bash/manual/bash.html
[00:49] <klslsl> there youve proved my point
[00:49] <klslsl> now sit down and write something  simple and sell it
[00:49] <overdub> klslsl: to solve sudoku, you do and feel with your brain
[00:49] <tensorpudding> there's tons of books on bash
[00:49] <klslsl> look me up i will be first in que give you a tenner :)
[00:49] <tensorpudding> they sell decently well
[00:49] <usr13> fugi123: You could tty to another console session and do some checking, but I'm thinking you probably have a defective hard drive.
[00:49] <tensorpudding> o'reilly has several
[00:49] <overdub> O'Rielly Learning the Bash Shell is a good one
[00:50] <klslsl> nething to defeat the evil windows
[00:50] <swooper> FOR PONY
[00:51] <fugi123> usr13: is there any good software to check the hard drive or should i just buy another?
[00:51] <klslsl> you have to help people who arent techies and broaden the appeal of linux
[00:51] <klslsl> really. i should be paid for my advice
[00:51] <usr13> klslsl: The learning curve is very steep.  You'll see.
[00:52] <luis__> fugi123: What is the make of the HDD?
[00:52] <usr13> fugi123: http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/  (It's what I use.)
[00:52] <klslsl> unless i just use a mac os emulator if there is one.... heard its the best os
[00:53] <fugi123> @luis: it
[00:53] <fugi123> it
[00:53] <newkid> hello?
[00:53] <usr13> fugi123: But you can do some cheking now.  Ctrl-Alt-F6  and try to format again and do a filesystem check
[00:53] <fugi123> it's a wetern digital, thankyou
[00:53] <msprout> hey folks. i have a plug computer (TonidoPlug), and am running into a brick wall about making a USB hard disk spin down at all. I've tried hdparm, sdparm, hd-idle, etc - nothing seems to work. Does anyone have any experience with this?
[00:53] <fugi123> When would i ctrl alt-f6?  from the live cd?
[00:53] <klslsl> now after discovering how to get nvidia driver onto computer the virtual terminal wont recognise my password. dear me. nuts
[00:54] <usr13> fugi123: Ctrl-Alt-F6 and issue command sudo fdisk -l
[00:54] <kn100`> I Have no sound on my acer aspire 3680
[00:54] <klslsl> off on my monumental task...i have a feeling its doomed to failiure...
[00:54] <xnxs> msprout, is your os on the drive?
[00:54] <kn100`> What can I do
[00:54] <msprout> xnxs: no sir. should it be?
[00:54] <usr13> fugi123: That will tell you what partitions are on it.
[00:54] <msprout> i believe it's loaded on the flash at the moment.
[00:54] <fugi123> okay i'll try that soon just need to boot back into the live CD
[00:54] <xnxs> msprout, well, if it was that would be the reason it wouldnt spin down.
[00:55] <msprout> Yeah, it's just some dude plugged in. It's not read/writing for a while, and it *still* won't spin down. I can't even seem to force it to do so.
[00:56] <newkid> can someone help me install 'gksudo' without the internet?
[00:56] <newkid> (please and thank you)
[00:56] <luis__> fugi123: WD has some great tools you can download for their HDD
[00:57] <fugi123> Luis_: are they run-able from a boot enviroment?  or do they require an OS?
[00:57] <KingPin> newkid,  how would you get the package without the interwebs or am i understanding the question wrong??
[00:57] <junglist> I have just upgraded to 11.10 and now I cant get past the login screen. Any Ideas?
[00:57] <yangaT> #android
[00:57] <luis__> fugi123 they are all run from a boot enviroment
[00:58] <bfrederi> when I try to do a startx during booting up, I get an error saying module "nv" does not exist.
[00:58] <newkid> Kingpin unfortunetly you have it just right. I'm trying to install a server on an old box of mine and can't connect to the internet, even with ethernet. one troubleshoot suggested 'gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/aliases to shut off iPv6
[00:58] <fugi123> Luis_: I"ll look for the WD software
[00:58] <boldfilter> Where are the user groups in 11.10. Cant find them.
[00:59] <newkid> but when I tried to run the command, I was told that 'gksudo' isn't installed
[00:59] <Fever> newkid: cant you use vi or vim?
[00:59] <tjiggi_fo> newkid, it should be installed by default. If you type: man gksudo into a terminal and get the output from man then it is installed
[01:00] <newkid> but"no manual entry for gksudo'
[01:00] <newkid> maybe that's my issue?
[01:00] <luis__> fugi123: I took a WD HDD that you could not load anything on adn did a low level format on and it ended up working just fine
[01:00] <tjiggi_fo> oops
[01:00] <newkid> (@ kingpin)
[01:00] <junglist> I have just upgraded to 11.10 and now I cant get past the login screen. The screen goes dark but x fails to load. I have tried multiple desktop environments. Please help.
[01:00] <newkid> orrr tjiggi*
[01:00] <fugi123> Luis_: Could you sugest some software to do so Luis?
[01:00] <newkid> and fever, I don't know what those are (newwww)
[01:00] <cmn__> junglist: check your /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[01:01] <Piranah> Anyone else run into extreme network lag after upgrade to 11.10 ?
[01:01] <Fever> newkid: Vi and vim are terminal text-editors that should be installd by default in ubuntu server
[01:01] <Fever> newkid: try type vi or vim in the terminal
[01:01] <tjiggi_fo> newkid, can you use plain ol' sudo?
[01:02] <newkid> oooo ok that popped up a screen fever
[01:02] <newkid> and tjiggi_fo, tried it, got a 'no such command' type of error?
[01:02] <Zoogoo> does anyone know if there are decent enought drivefr for the sapphire ATI Radeon HD 6770 yet? with working 3D too.
[01:02] <Zoogoo> *driver
[01:03] <Fever> newkid: Nice, wait one sec. I will get a manual for vim or vi. Its alittle bit tricky to work with the first times
[01:03] <matt7879> Hey guys, is am I making this up or is there a beta .iso or something for Macs?
[01:03] <luis__> fugi123: try fdisk from a dod boot disk it should have a low level format program on it
[01:03] <attar> zoogoo : i am using the proprietary driver with that card now, no complaints so far
[01:04] <Daditos> hi, I think I screwed up the Unity's/Ubuntu's 11.10 tiling system... Wasn't it supposed to dock windows on the sides when dragged to a border?  How can I enable this?  I reset compiz configuration to default already
[01:04] <newkid> thank you fever. usually I'd say I can research it myself but I'm a little lost without a gui in a new ow :O
[01:04] <cmn__> matt7879, modern Macs are x86 so you should just be able to pop in the normal disc and press 'c'
[01:04] <cmn__> on boot
[01:04] <Fever> newkid: No probs, if you want you can try to use "nano" instead
[01:04] <Piranah> Anyone have a fix or ideas to help with the buggy networking in 11.10 ???
[01:05] <matt7879> well i tried that, and got an odd error
[01:05] <Newbeeans_> Channel: I went back to 10.4. How do I get my drivers for nvidia? Or do I ignore it since the display is working?
[01:05] <newkid> fever: "nano" instead of what? "gksudo"?
[01:05] <Fever> newkid: Its more easy yo use
[01:05] <matt7879> I just remember seeing a link somewhere a long time ago for a Mac-specific ubuntu distro
[01:05] <Fever> newkid: no, nano is another terminal text editor
[01:05] <lafon> has anyone used an hsfsoftmodem in oneiric?
[01:06] <newkid> fever: got it. so my goal is to run that same command in here?
[01:06] <cmn__> matt7879, there was once a PowerPC ubuntu but they killed it off a couple years ago
[01:06] <Fever> newkid: try: sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/aliases
[01:06] <craigbass1976> I was in earlier today while I was at work and now I'm home with the busted box in a relaxed environment...  I can't log in.  When I do, I see a black screen for a split second, then I'm bounced back at the login screen.  A new user I just setup can log in fine.
[01:06] <darius> Hello can someone help me? I'm getting erros when trying to open Skype.
[01:06] <matt7879> oh got it. Thanks.
[01:06] <matt7879> man trying to get ubuntu installed on my MBP is a pain in the ass
[01:07] <craigbass1976> darius, microsoft bought skype; I noticed it getting screwy soon after...
[01:07] <matt7879> It's giving me this error when I try to boot from disk: "Unable to find a medium containing a live file system"
[01:08] <newkid> fever: I'm already in this nano editor (just typed 'nano' and pressed enter). How do I exit nano so that I can enter that other command?
[01:08] <darius> craigbass1976, hmm that's weird, when I first downloaded it it worked great, but now everytime I try to open it I get binary file corrupt, please reinstall skype, and i did multiple times.
[01:08] <Piranah> newkid, ctrl x
[01:09] <Fever> newkid: If you look at the bottom of the terminal (program) there is a list of commands. ^ means hold down CTRL. So to save file, CTRL+w and to extit CTRL+x
[01:09] <craigbass1976> darius, are there ANY files left when you delete, like hidden directories in /home/yourname ?
[01:09] <newkid> thank you piranah and fever, working on that other command atm
[01:09] <Piranah> np :)
[01:10] <Fever> newkid: np :)
[01:10] <newkid> ok fever: so at the top I see 'File: /etc/modprobe.d/aliases' ... where should I be headed form here?
[01:10] <darius> craigbass1976 should I try and check that? If so what should I do? Go to home and press shift H and see if skype is there?
[01:10] <K4k> hi, after an unclean shutdown I can no longer load my desktop in 11.10. only indication of a problem is in /var/log/Xorg.0.log i see a line "power button: close" any ideas?
[01:11] <lafon> darius: how did you remove it?
[01:11] <Piranah> Think I may have to roll back to 11.04 im scouring the forums and not finding a light at the end of the tunnel in terms of the strange network lagg in 11.10. Im not on wifi so that rules out half the answers
[01:11] <Fever> Thats all for me tonight (german time), see you tomorrow
[01:11] <darius> lafon, apt-get remove skype
[01:11] <newkid> Thank you for your help fever!
[01:11] <craigbass1976> darius, I'm not sure.  ls -a in your home directory and that should show you something.  Maybe a .Skype ? That's what's in mine
[01:11] <Newbeeans_> Is there a way to kill frozen tasks?
[01:11] <Fever> newkid: No problem, good luck =)
[01:12] <craigbass1976> darius, I'm on lucid though, things may be different now
[01:12] <lafon> darius: try apt-get purge skype
[01:12] <craigbass1976> darius, yes, what lafon said.  I keep forgetting about that...
[01:13] <darius> lafon, craigbass1976, http://pastie.org/2753759
[01:13] <ultima> Somebody can help me? My problem is at startup (Xubuntu 11.04): I have 30-40 seconds black screen after grub and before the login screen.. because is this the strange thing, that after 40 seconds of black screen start the login screen and all works good!!!
[01:13] <craigbass1976> Anyone have any idea on my login issue?  I've googled for the errors I see in /var/log/auth.log, but nothing pops up that looks like an answer
[01:13] <liupei> hello
[01:13] <liupei> ?
[01:13] <liupei> ?
[01:14] <craigbass1976> type exit, then just sudo apt-get purge skype
[01:14] <DasEi1> hello, liupei
[01:14] <craigbass1976> darius, ^^
[01:14] <darius> okay
[01:14] <liupei> hello DasEil
[01:14] <newkid> So if gksudo isn't installed by default I have a corrupt installation, logical conclusion?  I have a dv2000 laptop running ubuntu 10.10 with a sound problem: when I plug my headphones, speakers doesn't mute. Still, if I put the volume only at the right speaker, it mutes the speakers and plays only at the right side of the headphone... it seems a module/support problem for my board... does anybody know how can I fix it?
[01:17] <lafon> DasEi1: ahh, ok I'll have to get a live disk and see if it works. dial-up is the only internet i have :/
[01:17] <craigbass1976> darius, I've never seen that error...  Perhaps the package isn't called skype, but Skype ?  Oh wait, did you even install it with apt?
[01:17] <DasEi1> lafon: give it a try
[01:17] <darius> craigbass1976 yes i installed it with apt-get install skype
[01:18] <lafon> craigbass1976: I installed skype via the .deb file from their site and purge worked fine
[01:18] <liupei> see you later
[01:19] <darius> im gonna restart my computer
[01:19] <Newbeeans_> Is there anyway to install Nvidia drivers for version 11.10?
[01:20] <Newbeeans_> ...before I upgrade & am unable to see a terminal
[01:23] <Piranah> last shout out to the chan for help, anyone have a fix for slow network performance in Ubunu 11.10
[01:23] <Piranah> All was fine in 11.04 and earlier
[01:23] <lafon> Piranah: via ethernet?
[01:23] <Piranah> lafon, yes ethernet
[01:23] <Newbeeans_> 11.10 is driving me crazy
[01:23] <Piranah> thats the odd part
[01:23] <akusharil> l
[01:24] <JetJagurXP> I have just setup a conky-launch.desktop file so I can autorun Conky when I login to Lubuntu 11.10.  It auto starts just fine, unfortunately it doesn't close when I log out.  Did I do it wrong?
[01:24] <lafon> Piranah: oh. sorry I know mostly dial-up and wireless :(
[01:25] <Piranah> lafon, its ok i suspect something to so with the nvidia drivers in 11.10 and network manager
[01:25] <Piranah> setup ran fast as heck on 11.04 and earlier
[01:25] <jmcantrell> is there anything that can position windows automatically based on rules?
[01:25] <lafon> actually speaking about fast setup wubi never works with 11.10 so is there an alternative?
[01:25] <Scunizi> Uninstall network manager an manually configure to see the difference
[01:25] <Newbeeans_> I am going to restart...probably wont work again bb
[01:26] <rickbee> Hello! This is the 3rd day of my inability to record videos using flash. :( I have installed flash in every single documented way that I have been able to find, I am a long time *nix user and pretty skilled, it just will not let me click the flash settings.. i can't click allow to give it access to my webcam. :| any ideas?
[01:26] <Piranah> bbiab thanks all for the help
[01:26] <Piranah> this chan rocks
[01:26] <Piranah> :)
[01:27] <dr_willis> jmcantrell:  devilspie, or theres some compiz plugins i recall.
[01:27] <dr_willis> rickbee:  theres been flash accessing webcam issues for ages...
[01:27] <gusnan> jmcantrell, as dr_willis said, try devilspie, or my project devilspie2
[01:27] <lucas-arg> gnome-shell i love so much...
[01:27] <rickbee> dr_willis: any ideas? where does flash store the excpetions or the 'always allow' 'list'?
[01:28] <jmcantrell> gusnan: diff between devilspie and devilspie2?
[01:28] <newkid> So if gksudo isn't installed by default I have a corrupt installation, logical conclusion? I installed this on an old computer, so perhaps ubuntu is referencing the worng disc partition?
[01:28] <dr_willis> rickbee:  if you cant click on the buttons in a flash window. thats an old issue thats also been around for ages. I seem to recall some work arounds.. like disablng compiz, or trying a shift-click, or  holding down the right/menu mouse button then trying to click
[01:29] <gusnan> jmcantrell, devilspie isn't very maintained, and devilspie2 is based on LUA instead of the regular expressions of devilspie.
[01:29] <darius> can anyone help me with this please? http://pastie.org/2753808 I get it everytime I do something in terminal
[01:29] <lafon> newkid: not sure. ive never been without some form of sudo
[01:29] <lafon> darius: try installing it again with "sudo apt-get install skype" and then "sudo apt-get purge skype"
[01:29] <JetJagurXP> I guess my question is:  What is the correct way to auto launch an app when I login to Lubuntu?
[01:29] <dr_willis> rickbee:  if flash is workng in other ways. its installed corectly. :)
[01:29] <newkid> lafon: normal sudo works, but gk does not :/
[01:30] <newkid> lafon: and allegedly it should be installed by default on the server distributuion of linux
[01:30] <dr_willis> JetJagurXP:  lubuntu/lxde uses openbox. and i think it can use the ~/.config/autostart/  directory
[01:30] <lafon> gksudo or gksu?
[01:30] <gusnan> jmcantrell, http://www.gusnan.se/devilspie2/
[01:30] <craigbass1976> dr_willis, you ever run into not being able to log into the gui, but terminal and ssh are fine?  I'm getting (and still searching the web for the terms) "Unregistered Authentication for session /org/freedesktop....." and another line that I thought was interesting containing "user ingroup nopasswdlogin".  I'm also looking through today's channel logs as I was in and pasted the exact errors then.  Box is not on a netowrk
[01:30] <craigbass1976> at the moment
[01:30] <darius> lafon http://pastie.org/2753813
[01:31] <dr_willis> craigbass1976:  not seen that issue.
[01:31] <JetJagurXP> dr_willis  I did that.  However, the application I started doesn't close when I log out.  I guess that is the expected behavior.  But I want it so shut down when I log out also...
[01:31] <jmcantrell> gusnan: needs a ppa
[01:31] <dr_willis> JetJagurXP:  cant say ive ever noticed the issue.. guess ig can depend on the app.
[01:32] <gusnan> jmcantrell, hmmm... yeah, I guess you are right... I am not using Ubuntu as my primary system however...
[01:32] <darius> dr_willis can you help me with this? http://pastie.org/2753813
[01:33] <K4k> i found another error in /var/log/auth.log, lightdm: pam_succeed_if(lightdm:auth): requirement "user ingroup nopasswdlogin" not met by user [myuser]" anyone care to lend a hand? i can't get past the login screen.
[01:33] <jmcantrell> gusnan: ah, i just assumed... given the channel
[01:33] <rickbee> omg i love gnome-shell
[01:33] <dr_willis> darius:  at least summarize the issue. most people wont go to every URL posted to read the actual problem...
[01:33] <rickbee> jesus, these devs are effing awesome.
[01:34] <Zoogoo> it's 02:33 here in england and i am gasping...
[01:34] <dr_willis> rickbee:  been having gnome-shell lock up on me when i try typing in anything to 'search' for an app today..
[01:34] <rickbee> dr_willis: Guess what, it fixed my issue with flash!
[01:34] <rickbee> Switching to Gnome as my session type fixed it.
[01:35] <darius> dr_willis, I have an issue everytime I try installing something, it says either error merging package or it says 6%...
[01:35] <gusnan> jmcantrell, I am however working on getting it into Debian - This means you will get it into Ubuntu too.
[01:35] <darius> dr_willis, using the apt-get install command
[01:35] <p4n> When pressing the power button to boot up my machine, sometimes it boots up, and sometimes it doesn't. It's that simple. The only details I can give is that sometimes it goes to the boot screen (and sometimes it doesn't). Any clues as to what I could do?
[01:35] <dr_willis> rickbee:  its likely it was compiz somehow interfearring withn your ability to click on buttons in flash window./.  that was an issue ages ago...
[01:36] <dr_willis> p4n:  the boot screen of Ubuntu? or the BIOS/Post boot screen? or the Login screeen?
[01:36] <p4n> Boot screen of Ubuntu, then goes to black. Signal/notification/power light still stays on my machine as if it's on and doing something, though. But the screen stays black.
[01:36] <dr_willis> If its not posting/showing the bios scrren - then you got some hardware issues.. I have a similer old pc thats a little flakey.
[01:36] <JetJagurXP> dr_willis  Should I add a line to my bash_logout file to close it if it's open?
[01:37] <dr_willis> JetJagurXP:  you could try.
[01:37] <jmcantrell> does anyone use the compiz grid plugin?
[01:37] <computer_> Thanks all for all the work, just received an very interesting update the other day for 11.10 labeled something like 'alsa-plugin-somthing' and now my internal mic on my laptop sounds just as good as any Mac or Windows internal mic I have ever heard.
[01:37] <p4n> It goes past the BIOS screen and then it either goes straight to black and nothing, OR it shows the Ubuntu boot screen for a few seconds then goes to black. If I'm lucky, like right now, it boots all the day.
[01:37] <p4n> way*
[01:37] <dr_willis> JetJagurXP:  ive never seen an app manage to stay around after i log out of X. :)  unless i spawn it to the background..
[01:37] <p4n> It fails about 25% of the time.
[01:38] <dr_willis> p4n:  remove the quiet/splash option in /etc/default/grub  (replace quiet splash, with noquiet nosplash nofb)    so you can see all the error messages.. it Might give a clue when it next fails to boot up.
[01:38] <dr_willis> p4n:  it sounds more like a hardware issue then anything else to me.
[01:39] <JetJagurXP> dr_willis  I am launching it with the command conky -c /home/<username>/.conky/conkyrc
[01:39] <computer_> Was just curious if anyone knew what the road map for GIMP might be? As I see that it's integration with Unity to be ugly to use.
[01:39] <dr_willis> JetJagurXP:  ive never had conky prevent me from logging out.. what is it doing exactly?
[01:39] <dr_willis> JetJagurXP:  'conky  -yadda yadda &'   perhaps..
[01:40] <JetJagurXP> dr_willis  Oh I can log out.  But conky continues to run.  Shows up on the Login screen.
[01:40] <hux_> How do I top up a vodafone mobile donge (K3770) as they don't support Linux yet
[01:40] <dr_willis> JetJagurXP:  now thats an interesting bug.... never seen that befor.
[01:40] <JetJagurXP> dr_willis  If I login again conky launches a second time.
[01:40] <p4n> dr_willis: it says I don't have permission to save the file.
[01:40] <dr_willis> JetJagurXP:  check the askubuntu.com site and the forums perhaps...  you could do a 'killall conky'  in your logout file i guess.
[01:41] <dr_willis> p4n:  its a system file.. so of course. you need to use root/sudo access to it.
[01:41] <computer_> Of course I will ask in #gimp
[01:41] <dr_willis> p4n:  then you rerun 'sudo update-grub' to apply the changes
[01:41] <JetJagurXP> dr_willis  Is is because I'm launching it using a .desktop file in HOME/.config/autostart  ?
[01:41] <dr_willis> p4n:  is this a laptop or a desktop machine?
[01:41] <dr_willis> JetJagurXP:  shouldent matter.
[01:42] <p4n> dr_willis: laptop. I might need more specific instructions than that.
[01:42] <beginner> is there something like apt-get update to update to the latest spidermonkey ?
[01:42] <dr_willis> JetJagurXP:  conky is very popular. id bet if this is a common issue. theres mention of it on the forums, askubuntu.com and the conky forums.
[01:43] <dr_willis> Im off to work.. chat at ya laters.
[01:43] <yagoo> beginner, apt-get update, apt-get install spidermonkey .. if there's a later version of spidermonkey, it'll be upgraded
[01:43] <beginner> thank you
[01:44] <yagoo> beginner, that is if there's a package name by the name of "spidermonkey" to begin with.
[01:44] <hexacode> wat does -r do in wget -r http://* ?
[01:44] <JetJagurXP> dr_willis  Thanks.  At least I know I didn't so something goofy.
[01:44] <beginner> thank you yagoo
[01:45] <usr13> beginner: apt-cache search spidermonkey
[01:45] <cmn`> yagoo: $ apt-cache search spidermonkey says: libmozjs185-1.0 - Spidermonkey javascript engine
[01:45] <cmn`> lol
[01:45] <yagoo> hexacode, never heard of a manpage before? (man wget)
[01:45] <yagoo> man!
[01:46] <usr13> yagoo: man thats' cool!
[01:46] <Newbeeans> What is the command to check my Ubuntu version? I don't want to update to 11.10 by mistake.
[01:46] <yagoo> man man << you do that.
[01:46] <usr13> Newbeeans: lsb_release -a
[01:46] <beginner> thanks
[01:46] <aef> hey, how would I achieve bass redirection on a SB X-Fi Titanium on Ubuntu 11.10? on Windows its a checkbox in the driver tools
[01:47] <yagoo> aef, well this isn't windows..
[01:47] <yagoo> aef, and you do things differently..
[01:47] <aef> yagoo: yeah i know, that's why i ask
[01:47] <Blue1> Newbeeans: cat /etc/issue
[01:47] <aef> yagoo: do you have an idea how to do it?
[01:47] <yagoo> aef, you really think it helps to tell us that you click a "checkbox" on windows? pfff.. smarten up here..
[01:47] <yagoo> lol
[01:47] <aef> yagoo: fuck you.
[01:48] <yagoo> aef, i was going to help you.
[01:48] <yagoo> now i wont.
[01:48] <usr13> aef: YOu think that is helpful?
[01:48] <Newbeeans> I thought root was su -i
[01:48] <Newbeeans> How do I get to root ?
[01:48] <yagoo> Newbeeans, -i ?--- i simply use su - or su -l
[01:48] <usr13> Newbeeans: YOu are correct.
[01:48] <yagoo> Newbeeans, what for?
[01:49] <usr13> Newbeeans: sudo -i
[01:49] <yagoo> Newbeeans, (for nvidia yeah.. u need root)
[01:49] <Blue1> Newbeeans: why do you need root?  use sudo
[01:49] <tony_> hello all
[01:49] <Newbeeans> I just want those drivers! :)) haha
[01:49] <aef> i told you about the checkbox because i think its a hardware feature controlled through the proprietary driver tools and not something in an abstracted api available for all sound devices
[01:49] <tony_> I have a question about the "history" feature in bash
[01:49] <usr13> Newbeeans: But as others are letting you know, it's best to just use sudo.
[01:49] <Newbeeans> usr13: ok
[01:50] <Blue1> tony_: ask your question.
[01:50] <tony_> I typed "history" into the terminal and I see alot of things that I didn't type
[01:50] <tony_> have I been hacked?
[01:50] <usr13> aef: Just ask questions.  The other stuff is not helpful.
[01:50] <Blue1> tony_: what happens if you hit an up arrow?
[01:50] <yagoo> tony_, maybe someone else is using ur computer in the house?
[01:51] <yagoo> tony_, very unlikely..
[01:51] <Newbeeans> After 10.4, What is my next upgrade? The manager is not listing them.
[01:51] <tony_> it scrolls through typed in commands....  there are things like "sudo chmod 700 adoopy"
[01:51] <tony_> wth is that?
[01:51] <craigbass1976> !log
[01:51] <yagoo> tony_, i mean very unlikely ur machine is hacked unless you install somebody's crazy unknown script from the net
[01:51] <aef> usr13: i did exactly this
[01:51] <Blue1> Newbeeans: i plan to stay on 10.04 for awhile longer -- I am migrating everything over to debian
[01:51] <usr13> aef: You did what?
[01:51] <tony_> ok...so I'm being paranoid
[01:51] <Newbeeans> Blue1: I wish I knew what a debian was :)
[01:51] <aef> usr13: asking a quesion
[01:52] <yagoo> tony_, maybe.. are all your repositories official?
[01:52] <Blue1> Newbeeans: debian is ubuntu's dad
[01:52] <tony_> I get everything from the software center or offical ppa's
[01:52] <tony_> from ubuntu's site
[01:52] <Newbeeans> Blue1: Maybe I should stay put until I understand more of this OS.
[01:52] <yagoo> Blue1, debian is ubuntu's dad.. but ubuntu is trying very hard to be an orphan..
[01:52] <Blue1> Newbeeans: yes.
[01:53] <Blue1> yagoo: well said
[01:53] <tony_> is it ok to paste some of the stuff I found in there?  or not cool?
[01:53] <yagoo> tony_, not cool
[01:53] <yagoo> !paste
[01:53] <tony_> ok... then I won't
[01:53] <yagoo> tony_, i mean not cool to do that..(use pastebin sites)
[01:53] <yagoo> tony_, 1 line or 2 is ok
[01:53] <usr13> aef: We are not here to argue semantics or for philosophical discussions, so just drop it.
[01:53] <tony_> ok
[01:54] <yagoo> usr13, he wants people to look at his windows "checkbox" driver.. Like we have to know about it.
[01:54] <usr13> yagoo: drop it
[01:54] <aef> usr13: my opinion from the beginning, so do you know about a solution?
[01:54] <tony_> 90  sudo chmod 700 /Desktop/adoopy
[01:54] <tony_>    91  cd /Desktop
[01:55] <tony_> I never go by the name adoopy and my gf is a totall linux noob
[01:55] <Newbeeans> How do I turn off permission requests for Ubuntu Software center?
[01:55] <craigbass1976> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1560241  I've got this same problem, but my .profile looks exactly like another one from a "good" profile on the same box
[01:55] <yagoo> tony_, ?
[01:55] <yagoo> tony_, someone is typing "cd /Desktop" << this path doesn't even exist.
[01:55] <craigbass1976> tony_, sure.  ;) ;)
[01:55] <yagoo> tony_, you sure you didn't type this, or is one of your own scripts?
[01:55] <yagoo> lol
[01:56] <tony_> I am just weirded out by the name adoopy in there and someone trying to sudo chmod.....
[01:56] <yagoo> tony_, that's you.
[01:56] <cmn`> aef, I don't think there is one. this might put you on the right track though: http://confignewton.com/?p=211

[01:56] <yagoo> lol
[01:56] <tony_> adoopy is me?  I never went by that name....oh...lol
[01:56] <yagoo> tony, that's bs... /Desktop doesn't even exist.
[01:56] <tony_> like I said....  strange
[01:56] <yagoo> yeah yeah yeah tony.. yeah yeah yeah

[01:57] <aef> cmn`: i know i had it working around 2009 with a SB Live.

[01:57] <aef> cmn`: thanks
[01:57] <tony_> ok... you all have a good night
[01:58] <meowsus> I use gedit for my web development, and rely on a lot of plugins that aren't supported by Oneirics installation of Gedit3. Is there a way to run Gedit3 AND Gedit2 on the same system, or to replace Gedit3 with Gedit2?
[01:58] <yagoo> nice try dumb tony_
[01:59] <gdea73> hi I'm having problems with Suspend
[01:59] <gdea73> it sleeps once, and wakes up once, but after that it wakes up immediately.
[02:00] <gdea73> according to my dmesg command it's my SATA controller. So ... ?
[02:00] <hux_> How do I top up a vodafone mobile dongle ? (K3770) as they don't support Linux yet and my cell is Orange
[02:00] <gdea73> how do I troubleshoot this?
[02:00] <usr13> meowsus: You use gedit to edit html code?  Are there plugins that aid it?
[02:00] <yagoo> gdea73, suspend/powersaving doesn't always work.. this is one area any linux is still miserably horrible at (and any linux distro)
[02:00] <rahul> hi
[02:01] <rahul> need some help
[02:01] <rahul> i am using Dell R15
[02:01] <yagoo> rahul, wha'ts the magic word? you have any manners?
[02:01] <gdea73> yagoo: that's frustrating... especially for people using laptops. My laptop couldn't run Ubuntu anyway, but still
[02:01] <gdea73> anyway so there's nothing I can do?
[02:02] <yagoo> gdea73, you sure sound like a dictator.
[02:02] <yagoo> gdea73, can you ask nicely to the channel?
[02:02] <attar> !ops
[02:02] <rahul> n sound card and touch pad doen't seems to work
[02:02] <meowsus> usr13, with gnome2 you can find "gmate" on git that has a ton of textmate esque plugins
[02:02] <yagoo> rahul, u say please help.
[02:02] <attar> yagoo, youre rude and extremely unhelpful, youre one to talk of manners
[02:02] <meowsus> and yes, i know i should be using VIM
[02:02] <BlackWeb> Just curious how do you specify the display driver to use, would you do it in grub.cfg in the bootloader, Driver I want to use is "xserver=xorg-video-intel"
[02:02] <gdea73> hehe, sorry, might you please have any other suggestions?
[02:02] <yagoo> attar, I'm saying what's the magic word. I'm telling to say please.
[02:02] <meowsus> usr13, I've gotten quite used to it actually ;)
[02:02] <yagoo> gdea73, just ask the question.
[02:03] <enix316> sometimes when i use a command like 'ls' or search in aptitude i get multiple pages of results. Is there an option to make it so that i have to press spacebar or another key to continue to the next page of results? Also, can anyone recomend a good shell web browser?
[02:03] <BlackWeb> Which its already installed but for some reason cant enable desktop effects
[02:03] <yagoo> gdea73, touchpad needs X config options.. u can post the x log
[02:03] <zykotick9_> enix316, "ls | less" or the old way "ls | more"
[02:03]  * yagoo ignores attar
[02:03] <gdea73> yagoo, touchpad? Sorry if I was unclear, I'm talking about my desktop.
[02:03] <usr13> aef: Sorry, all I use is alsamixer. Don't do a lot of fancy stuff to audio output
[02:03] <gdea73> didn't mean to get off on a tangent before.
[02:03] <yagoo> "<rahul> n sound card and touch pad doen't seems to work"
[02:03] <yagoo> ^ touchpad
[02:04] <yagoo> eh
[02:04] <gdea73> oh, soryr, you attached my name to that.
[02:04] <Gskellig> is it just me, or does the new "system settings" UI look a LOT like the OSX one
[02:04] <yagoo> oh sorry..
[02:04] <yagoo> rahul.. that was for u
[02:04] <rahul> yes
[02:04] <gdea73> it's fine
[02:04] <hux_> Does anyone know if #linuxmint is still on irc.spotchat.org as I get a dead link from Mint Servers via spotchat
[02:04] <rahul> 'm new to Ubunto n that too linux environment
[02:05] <enix316> zykotick9, thanks, just what i was looking for.
[02:05] <rahul> will you help me to get that x config option
[02:05] <d0gbert> So I realize that this is not a perl channel, but I'm sure that some of you brilliant people know perl...
[02:05] <usr13> meowsus: I've probably used vim more than antying else, but CMS does the most for me nowdays
[02:05] <zykotick9_> !tab > enix316
[02:05] <shantorn_> hux #linuxmint and then - something is needed, like -help -chat
[02:05] <Newbeeans> I used the upgrade command so I could get 10.10 then to 11.4 (I like the sidebar). The command stated no upgrades found. Any ideas?
[02:05] <meowsus> usr13, cms! I'm intrigued
[02:05] <yagoo> rahul, see what the xlog says-> apt-get install pastebinit; cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log |pastebinit -t myxlog
[02:05] <usr13> meowsus: I've also used bluefish
[02:06] <hux_> I know shanton but -help,-chatetc are all dead
[02:06] <meowsus> I've used bluefish, it drives me nuts
[02:06] <usr13> meowsus: Oh yea, cms is the wave of the future
[02:06] <d0gbert> I'm trying to debug a perl script and am getting the following... Code is:  "my @any_port = @{$attacks[0]};" and I am getting an arror that reads Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference.  Can someone tell me how to fix this?
[02:06] <meowsus> When i was a windows user i used e Text Editor
[02:06] <meowsus> which was modeled after TextMate for OSX
[02:06] <d0gbert> Anyone?
[02:06] <diamonds_> Yellow
[02:06] <enix316> zykotick9_: i just read that too from the irssi man pages, thx for the reminder
[02:06] <denis_> u doing?
[02:06] <meowsus> and Gedit can be fluffed with to be close to both of them
[02:06] <zykotick9_> enix316, :) glad to help
[02:06] <meowsus> What is CMS?
[02:06] <usr13> meowsus: This is OT, we should go to #ubuntu-offtopic   or pm

[02:07] <d0gbert> someone anyone help?
[02:07] <gdea73> Here is the log, with the failed suspend... any suggestions please? http://paste.ubuntu.com/718436/
[02:08] <BlackWeb> How do you specify a display driver to use
[02:08] <enix316> zykotick9_: you have been over several days now. glad u are here
[02:08] <yagoo> gdea73, it's actually pretty complex to fix suspend/powersaving.. it takes x number commands to find out what's wrong..
[02:08] <yagoo> gdea73, and u have to check the bios, the kernbootline... see if theres any irq conflicts.. it's a real pita
[02:08] <gdea73> oh
[02:08] <Gskellig> what is the best way to have a command auto run on boot (not as root)
[02:09] <gdea73> bummer. and this has been driving me crazy for a while too, but ah well
[02:09] <yagoo> gdea73, yeah.. best is to see if google "ubuntu wiki" + other keywords can help solve the problem..
[02:09] <yagoo> gdea73, as i said it's real pita..
[02:09] <gdea73> yeah :/
[02:09] <yagoo> gdea73, i have 2 systems and I cant do sleep properly with them..
[02:10] <zykotick9_> BlackWeb, typically you would use an xorg.conf file - but it's automatic (for intel, these days).  Do you know what driver is currently being used?  "less /var/log/Xorg.0.log" to check.
[02:10] <gdea73> ah
[02:10] <yagoo> gdea73, as i said (it doesnt matter what distro).. linux still sux in this arena
[02:10] <_jesse_> hmm
[02:10] <gdea73> that's too bad. anyway, so no idea what error "-5" means with an ide controller?
[02:10] <gdea73> actually I was repeatedly trying to suspend about a week ago
[02:11] <yagoo> gdea73, the older hardware.. sleep wasnt very much implemented..
[02:11] <craigbass1976> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1560241  I've got this same problem, but my .profile looks exactly like another one from a "good" profile on the same box
[02:11] <yagoo> gdea73, notably pre-usb stuff
[02:11] <gdea73> ah ok
[02:11] <gdea73> just interesting that Windows 95C on a Pentium II suspends juust fine ;P
[02:11] <Newbeeans> How do I upgrade to 10.10 ?
[02:11] <gdea73> (or on mine at least)
[02:11] <yagoo> gdea73, and ide is pretty much very old.. you have usb?
[02:11] <yagoo> gdea73, oh pentium 2..
[02:11] <gdea73> oh, no this is newer hardware
[02:12] <yagoo> gdea73, dont worry about getting sleep working properly on that..
[02:12] <BlackWeb> zykotick9, Heres the problem Installed 10.10 worked fine with desktop effects, then installed packages and now desktopeffects cant be enabled
[02:12] <gdea73> not old hardware, I'm just getting distracted... the P2 is completely separate.
[02:12] <BlackWeb> the hardware is intel
[02:12] <gdea73> my current PC actually has SATA, but it's in "IDE Mode" (not AHCI)
[02:12] <BlackWeb> which the intel driver is install "xserver-xorg-video-intel
[02:12] <gdea73> I just keep the Pentium II for fun, that's in the basement :P
[02:13] <BlackWeb> how would i make it use the intel driver again, or the default one it was using
[02:13] <gdea73> actually this is sort of odd, in the log, it says says "pci_legacy_suspend(): ahci_pci_device_suspend ..."
[02:13] <yagoo> gdea73, you using ahci?
[02:13] <gdea73> I was originally but now anymore. Did that affect things if I installed using AHCI and switched in BIOS later?
[02:14] <gdea73> anyway it's just odd, because this is not PCI, it's not legacy, and AHCI is off...
[02:14] <zykotick9_> BlackWeb, "...then installed packages..." sounds suspicious ;)  Do you currently have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file?
[02:14] <yagoo> gdea73, these are very hardcore stuff...
[02:14] <HansLanda> can anyone help me configure my wlan without ndiswrapper? ubuntu 11.04 - dell notebook
[02:14] <gdea73> also - is there an actual speed advantage to AHCI? I couldn't tell, but I'm not sure.
[02:14] <zykotick9_> !tab > BlackWeb
[02:15] <Newbeeans> How do I update to 10.10? Updater is not showing the upgrades.
[02:15] <yagoo> gdea73, u can interchange ahci to something else without data damage.. as for affecting sleep in linux i have noclue..
[02:15] <R3db3ard> Newbeeans, go to software sources and select the tickbox that gives you every update
[02:15] <zykotick9_> Newbeeans, by default LTS will only update to another LTS release (there is a way to change it, but I've never done it)
[02:15] <craigbass1976> HansLanda, what have you got for a card?  What you done so far?  I make no promises...  I haven't had to monkey with a card since before dapper
[02:15] <yagoo> gdea73, it's possible a config in linux has something set to ahci. But i have no clue to that.. (probably #kernel may know)
[02:15] <gdea73> yagoo, ok. I just was unsure if something was "configured" for AHCI when I installed. Like if ahci was on when I installed, it might mess things up by turning it off later...
[02:15] <BlackWeb> No dont have a xorg.conf file in /etc/X11
[02:16] <gdea73> yeah that may be..
[02:16] <gdea73> oh well I guess I give up then, for now :P
[02:16] <yagoo> gdea73, a reason why u have ahci switched back off?
[02:16] <zykotick9_> BlackWeb, sorry I have no suggestions then, good luck.
[02:16] <tigranes> Hi! Can anyone help me figure out why Unity 3D is not working on my Intel 4500 video card?
[02:16] <Blue1> BlackWeb: this may/may not help:  http://pkill-9.com/ubuntu-etcx11xorg-conf-livecd-fixes-debian-video-problems/
[02:16] <Newbeeans> R3db3ard: Where do I select other sources?
[02:16] <gdea73> well actually because I thought it would suspend without AHCI lol
[02:16] <gdea73> no other reason in particular
[02:16] <gdea73> I remember getting an AHCI error on resume, before.
[02:17] <yagoo> gdea73, you are?
[02:17] <gdea73> it was only on screen for like a fraction of a second though
[02:17] <gdea73> I *was*, when AHCI was on.
[02:17] <yagoo> gdea73, is ahci module loaded ?
[02:17] <gdea73> I don't think so, maybe..
[02:17] <yagoo> gdea73, turn bios back to ahci.. reboot then see if ahci module is loaded (or shown in dmesg)
[02:17] <gdea73> well I have dmesg right here for now
[02:17] <gdea73> and it already does show up :S
[02:18] <yagoo> gdea73, u need to set it to ahci in bios
[02:18] <gdea73> well I thought i saw it, one second..
[02:18] <R3db3ard> Newbeeans, system > administration > software sources > updates
[02:19] <gdea73> yeah "ahci 000:04:00.0: restoring config space at offset 0x6 (was 0x1, writing 0x0) several like this <0
[02:19] <gdea73> * <-
[02:19] <yagoo> gdea73, did u try fsck ?
[02:19] <R3db3ard> Newbeeans, on the updates tab there is a Release upgrade dropdown box
[02:19] <R3db3ard> Newbeeans, change it to normal releases
[02:19] <gdea73> I have not yet. I will.
[02:20] <yagoo> gdea73, reboot, turn ahci on, then use something like gpartedlivecd to do an fsck (can rt-click on partition and choose check filesystem)
[02:20] <diamonds> hi friends
[02:20] <diamonds> just updated ubuntu....
[02:20] <gdea73> okay
[02:20] <R3db3ard> then in console type 'sudo apt-get update' then sudo apt-get upgrade
[02:20] <diamonds> and me mouse pad stopped workin'
[02:20] <gdea73> actually I have a short story to tell, in relation to this
[02:20] <diamonds> shiver me timbers
[02:20] <gdea73> I was repeatedly trying to suspend.. the next morning, it suspended once, as usual
[02:20] <diamonds> can anyone recommend a path to fixing this?
[02:20] <craigbass1976> Is there something that would lock me out of gdm if I had too many failed logins?
[02:20] <gdea73> I went to eat breakfast and I came back, and tried to wake it up
[02:21] <gdea73> and there was a loud clunk, followed by loud, sporatic clicking
[02:21] <Newbeeans> R3db3ard xcelent!
[02:21] <yagoo> gdea73, maybe it was trying to use ahci
[02:21] <gdea73> and I reset the machine and then the AHCI BIOS (this was back when I had AHCI), said "no devices found"
[02:21] <R3db3ard> Newbeeans, glad to help :)
[02:21] <diamonds> is there some... switch I might need to flip?
[02:21] <diamonds> sudo /etc/mousepad start?
[02:21] <gdea73> I kind of flipped out then, I thought the HDD died. But that afternoon, it was fine o.O
[02:21] <yagoo> gdea73, then try loading the module
[02:21] <gdea73> (after toggling ahci)
[02:21] <zykotick9_> gdea73, sounds like you are describing a dead or dieing hard drive
[02:22] <gdea73> zykotick9_ I HONESTLY hope not.
[02:22] <diamonds> anyone else had mousepad trouble on Dell inspiron with 10.10?
[02:22] <yagoo> gdea73, doesnt have to be a dying hdrive
[02:22] <gdea73> there are no signs of failure as far as smart attributes.
[02:22] <yagoo> gdea73, it isnt
[02:22] <gdea73> oh ok :P
[02:22] <gdea73> it's a one year old 1TB drive, and I've only partitioned 128GB, the rest is unallocated.
[02:23] <gdea73> anyway I will get to all that later I guess... (fsck, livecd, etc)
[02:23] <gdea73> this is still sort of gnawing at me but if it's giong to cause me to procrastinate more, on other things, I should wait
[02:23] <gdea73> thanks for the help
[02:23] <gdea73> @yagoo
[02:23] <javier__> I have detected there are bad sectors on my hard drive. I backed up my files, but I want to try to repair them. is there a program that does it? thanks!
[02:23] <gdea73> alright bye for now.
[02:24] <yagoo> gdea73, i think i should reportbug what i had 2 weeks ago. I had end-request I/O error on one of my new AHCI drives.  Did a full test inside out with manufacturing tool. And a sector test that lasted 6 hours.  Completely clean.  It was a malinforming tty message.
[02:24] <xtjacob> does anyone here have experience with parsing json in c?
[02:24] <yagoo> xt3mp0r, wrong channel.. you'd have to ask #c
[02:25] <xtjacob> thanks
[02:25] <yagoo> xtjacob, i mean.. and i dont' think its impossible..
[02:25] <xtjacob> it's telling me #c in invite only
[02:26] <yagoo> xtjacob, your nick is registered with nickserv?
[02:26] <xtjacob> it was sometime ago, but it isn't anymore
[02:26] <yagoo> xtjacob, so register it.. /msg Nickserv help
[02:27] <yagoo> xtjacob, if u still need help on this-> #freenode
[02:27] <diamonds> ok I'm trying the system test program
[02:27] <diamonds> but without a mouse I can't move the scrollbar down, so I can't see what's below the fold :/

[02:28] <x3qt0r> How do I get those necessary packages
[02:28] <diamonds> yagoo: not sure how to tell...
[02:29] <yagoo> HansLanda, check online that "that" driver works for your hardware. Not everything can replace ndiswrapper if the linux driver isnt updated to support it
[02:29] <xtjacob> yagoo, thanks that worked
[02:29] <yagoo> xtjacob, np
[02:29] <yagoo> diamonds, this a laptop?

[02:31] <x3qt0r> I need to able to play mp3 files on a computer without internet connection
[02:31] <x3qt0r> How do I get those necessary packages
[02:31] <diamonds> x3qt0r: have you seen the mediubuntu stuff?
[02:31] <diamonds> x3qt0r: I think that'll do it
[02:31] <x3qt0r> Link/

[02:32] <diamonds> x3qt0r: I can't control my cursor, can you look it up yourself?
[02:32] <x3qt0r> I did
[02:32] <diamonds> http://www.medibuntu.org/
[02:32] <diamonds> yagoo: can you recommend somewhere to start looking?
[02:33] <diamonds> man -k touchpad returns a listing for synaptics
[02:33] <diamonds> i guess I'll start there :)
[02:33] <x3qt0r> So I should be downloading each one of these
[02:33] <diamonds> x3qt0r: have you tried... reading the site?
[02:34] <Guest33288> has anyone ever set a static ip on a wireless interface?

[02:35] <diamonds> http://paste.ubuntu.com/718450
[02:36] <diamonds> how do I pipe to my local clipboard?
[02:36] <Guest33288> I need help setting a static ip with a wireless interface connecting to a WPA network. It works fine using dhcp but not on static for some reason
[02:36] <ldz420> I want to check if I have a shared library on my system. when I try to use find / -type f -name filename of library the only place that is shows up is /usr/share/lintian can anyone give me a clue?
[02:36] <diamonds> so I can | pastebinit | cb #then paste in channel
[02:36] <x3qt0r> diamonds,  I dont find any instructions on how to install these packages on a computer with not internet
[02:37] <diamonds> x3qt0r: oh you don't have internet on the computer at all
[02:37] <diamonds> like, not just when you want to play mp3s, but ever
[02:37] <x3qt0r> Amen.
[02:37] <x3qt0r> I want to download these packages and take them to that handicap computer
[02:37] <x3qt0r> so that I can play those mp3s
[02:38] <yagoo> diamonds, what about dmesg ? (dmesg |pastebinit -t xxx)
[02:38] <diamonds> x3qt0r: huh... I don't know w/o internet
[02:38] <diamonds> what's the -t xxx?
[02:38] <jobalcaen> I need help setting a static ip with a wireless interface connecting to a WPA network. It works fine using dhcp but not on static for some reason
[02:38] <gdea73> hi all, I have a new question now... please help...
[02:38] <yagoo> diamonds, -t is just for title.. if u want to give it a title name
[02:38] <diamonds> ahh
[02:38] <gdea73> my HDMI is not working anymore. After rearranging this room...
[02:38] <jobalcaen> what is your questionj gdea73?
[02:39] <gdea73> I've double checked the cable, but the PC and the TV both show no sign of having it plugged in :(
[02:39] <ldz420> x3qt0r: you will have to transfer the files onto machine. but I believe that you can refer to your local machine as a repository
[02:39] <gdea73> do HDMI cables die, often?
[02:39] <diamonds> http://paste.ubuntu.com/718451 < yagoo
[02:39] <_jesse_> x3qt0r: you can download packages using apt-get on a internet-connected computer and use dpkg to install them on the other
[02:39] <dr_willis> gdea73: iv had some go bad
[02:39] <x3qt0r> _jesse_,  elaborate please.

[02:40] <yagoo> diamonds, that's good news..
[02:40] <_jesse_> x3qt0r: I can't really elaborate more than that
[02:40] <jobalcaen> gdea73.....try reducing the resolutionh or refresh rate on your pc
[02:40] <gdea73> darn, this is the only 6' one, the others are like 6"
[02:40] <andykriss> hello guys.. which driver would u recomend for the geForce 7025/nForce 630a?
[02:40] <diamonds> yagoo: hooray!
[02:40] <yagoo> diamonds, it should be workable.. with X then..
[02:40] <gdea73> jobalcaen, in catalyst the second display doesn't even show up, and it can run at 1080p just like primary
[02:40] <yagoo> diamonds, see what X says-- cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log|pastebinit -t xx
[02:40] <cmn`> x3qt0r, if you apt-get the packages on an internet connected computer, then copy /var/cache/apt/archive/* to the handicapped comp
[02:40] <diamonds> is there a way to move these windows keyboardwise?
[02:41] <_jesse_> `apt-get download` will also download to the current directory
[02:41] <dr_willis> gdea73:  ive had some monitors not like some ofmy cables also
[02:41] <diamonds> like windows 7?
[02:41] <x3qt0r> hmm
[02:41] <cmn`> x3qt0r, then dpkg -i {mp3playerprogram}.deb
[02:41] <javier__> hi. Is there a way to repair bad sectors in HDD in ubuntu?
[02:41] <CarlFK> natty, how do I enable compiz?
[02:41] <x3qt0r> Will the 10.04 packages work for 11.10
[02:41] <x3qt0r> ?
[02:41] <diamonds> windows 7 you can windows-left to move the window screen left
[02:41] <gdea73> dr_willis, ok, but this is the same configuration that was working before...
[02:41] <jobalcaen> gdea73...did ou physically move the pc or tv?
[02:41] <K4k> "Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead" I get this plus GPG signature errors doing apt-get update. I believe it's due to an incomplete update from earlier today. What's built in to apt to correct this?
[02:41] <diamonds> ok yagoo, lemme type that in before i lose my buffer
[02:41] <diamonds> shit
[02:41] <diamonds> yagoo: can you type that again :(
[02:41] <_jesse_> x3qt0r: not likely, you can download the .deb's from the website in that case
[02:42] <_jesse_> http://packages.ubuntu.com/
[02:42] <x3qt0r> Which website.
[02:42] <x3qt0r> oh
[02:42] <gdea73> jobalcaen, yeah. I wonder why that would make a difference though?
[02:42] <diamonds> xchat window is over my terminal so I can't see both at once
[02:42] <gdea73> that's really the only change too, since it last worked. This TV has already had problems recognizing HDMI (xbox 360, etc)
[02:42] <gdea73> but it eventually worked, I wasn't sure how, or why..
[02:42] <jobalcaen> maybe you pulleda socket loose?
[02:42] <diamonds> theres a way to make windows less opaque... can I do that keyboardwise?
[02:42] <cmn`> javier__, boot from livecd then e2fsck -c <drive>
[02:42] <dr_willis> gdea73:  seen them get interfearance from power supplies also
[02:42] <CarlFK> diamonds: you can cut/paset into a terminal - copy from chat, right click in the term, select paste
[02:43] <jobalcaen> I need help setting a static ip with a wireless interface connecting to a WPA network. It works fine using dhcp but not on static for some reason
[02:43] <diamonds> CarlFK: updated ubuntu, mouse doesn't work
[02:43] <gdea73> really... maybe my wireless keyboard is doing that, because it's missing a lot of keypresses now.
[02:43] <javier__> cmn`, saying -c it will scan all my hard drive? (I have several partitions, windows included)
[02:43] <diamonds> CarlFK: can you paste back in what yagoo wrote, or message me?
[02:43] <x3qt0r> Will installing VLC solve the problem
[02:43] <x3qt0r> without installing the packages?
[02:43] <jobalcaen> is anyone here using a static ip on a wireless interface?
[02:43] <gdea73> meaning, maybe that is interf. with the psu as well, I mean the receiver is 2" below it.
[02:43] <yagoo> diamonds, see what X says-- cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log|pastebinit -t xx
[02:43] <gdea73> jobalcaen, not on linux...
[02:43] <gdea73> sorry
[02:43] <CarlFK> diamonds: shift insert is the hotkey, looking up what you need...
[02:44] <jobalcaen> is anyone here using a static ip on a wireless interface?
[02:44] <cmn`> javier__, e2fsck only does ext{2,3,4} partitions, so no. -c updates the bad sectors list in the partition table
[02:44] <gdea73> ah well... guess I'll rewatch some of the shows on TiVo
[02:44] <gdea73> thanks all
[02:44] <cmn`> you'll need to do scandisk from windows for the rest 'mafraid
[02:44] <diamonds> http://paste.ubuntu.com/718456 < yagoo
[02:45] <javier__> cmn`, ok. So I will run that. And for ntfs partition, can I do it somehow?
[02:46] <yagoo> diamonds, you have this-> [    21.098] (II) config/udev: Adding input device SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad (/dev/input/event5)
[02:46] <cmn`> javier__, I haven't tried this but the ntfsprogs package has a 'ntfsck' command
[02:47] <diamonds> yagoo: in the new log or old?
[02:47] <x3qt0r> _jesse_, there are so many packages over there
[02:47] <yagoo> diamonds, in the last one u posted
[02:47] <x3qt0r> which one should I be downloading
[02:47] <diamonds>  yagoo I cat'd both
[02:47] <cmn`> well it did, anyway. the latest version apparently doesn't.
[02:47] <diamonds> it should say the name before each...
[02:48] <HansLanda> can anyone help me configure my wlan? ubuntu 11.04 - dell notebook (private msg please)
[02:48] <diamonds> yagoo: so...
[02:49] <yagoo> diamonds, it's good news.. you must be close to having this work.. something may need to be triggered or something..
[02:49] <zakf> Hello?
[02:50] <diamonds> yagoo: yeah that's what I was thinking
[02:50] <javier__> cmn`, can't I install ntfsprogs without unistalling ntfs-3g?
[02:50] <diamonds> cuz like I said, it worked 'til I updated
[02:50] <diamonds> is there a service mouse restart?
[02:50] <K4k> I'm getting an error that "The following signatures were invalid", failed to fetch all the repositories (updates, security, release, backports). Anyone know how I can correct this?
[02:50] <yagoo> diamonds, did u look into synclient?
[02:50] <diamonds> nope :)
[02:50] <zakf> I am trying/hoping to install RAID 1 (mirror) on a fresh install of 11.10, and I cannot for the life of me get it to work.  Thanks

[02:56] <yagoo> diamonds, did u see if u plug in a mouse, that the touchpad works?
[02:56] <yagoo> diamonds, i'll look into synclient

[02:57] <scribus12> [02:58] <cmn`> ah, ntfsprogs? I thought you were talking about e2fsck :) I haven't used them unfortunately. Windows' tools were designed by the guys that designed the fs, but ntfs-3g's tools aren't all that great.

[02:58] <SimonJai> hey guys

[02:58] <K4k> none_13: See if you can find what you're looking for here, seems pretty info packed: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity
[02:58] <Diamondcite> For ssh.. try ssh -CY user@host
[02:58] <xananax> Hello...I am getting apt-get errors: a GPG error for security, and a failed to fetch for updates...What can I do? I tried apt-get clean, moving the lists dir, and apt-get -f update, I get the same errors
[02:58]  * yagoo thinks ssh -XY is good too
[02:58] <diamonds> http://paste.ubuntu.com/718461/ < yagoo
[02:59] <Diamondcite> the -CY is for compressed ssh with Secure X11 forwarding
[02:59] <Polah> xananax, what repository?
[02:59] <SimonJai> for some reason our ubuntu lost its static IP
[02:59] <scribus12> none_13: I use ssh a lot, but her ip is dynamic anything I can do about it?
[02:59] <SimonJai> i found this in the logs:   Oct 25 02:40:20 server dhclient: DHCPREQUEST of <IP_ADDRESS> on eth0 to <IP_ADDRESS> port 67
[02:59] <xananax> Polah: security & updates
[02:59] <SimonJai> any ideas?
[02:59] <yagoo> diamonds, i'm guessing.. the bottom of that log looks normal? maybe u just need 3 values to set the edges
[02:59] <yagoo> diamonds, maybe a gui app just changes those 3 edges..
[03:00] <diamonds> yagoo: what gui?
[03:00] <Polah> xananax, you could try removing and readding the repository. I don't know the command to remove, but to readd would be sudo add-apt-repository <repositorygoeshere>
[03:00] <usr13> arooni-mobile: You may need to do a synlink,
[03:00] <arooni-mobile> usr13, how can id o that
[03:00] <javier__> cmn`, I just found that gparted can do something similar, but if I try to run the test, it can't even make the first step and finds an error
[03:01] <xananax> Polah: in other words, archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty-updates & security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty-security
[03:01] <yagoo> diamonds, not sure--- but chechk this out-> dpkg -L xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
[03:01] <Polah> scribus12, set a static IP on there system's or router's network settings. Of course, if you'll be accessing it externally (outside your home network) you'll also need to configure port forwarding on the router and ask your ISP for a static IP as well
[03:01] <luist> whats lighter to boot, unity or gnome?
[03:01] <diamonds> yagoo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/718465/
[03:01] <yagoo> diamonds, use firefox to navigate to /usr/share/doc/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics to read README.alps
[03:02] <xananax> Polah: Ok I will try this....Would the command be sudo apt-add-repository http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ for example?
[03:02] <usr13> arooni-mobile: If you only have libnotify.so.1.1.3   Do this:  ln -s /usr/lib/libnotify.so.1.1.3 /usr/lib/libnotify.so.1
[03:02] <jobalcaen> I need help setting a static ip with a wireless interface connecting to a WPA network. It works fine using dhcp but not on static for some reason
[03:02] <cmn`> javier__, I think gparted uses the ntfs-3g cli tools in the background ;)
[03:02] <Gunz4MiPPle> when I start Gnome session, compiz is running, and no gnome-shell!
[03:03] <diamonds> yagoo: I don't get it... what's an ALPS vs. Synaptics touchpad?
[03:03] <usr13> arooni-mobile: sudo  ln -s /usr/lib/libnotify.so.1.1.3 /usr/lib/libnotify.so.1
[03:03] <Polah> xananax, yes, or thereabouts. Copy the line for that repository from your /etc/apt/sources.list, then remove it and save (you'll need to use sudo to edit it), then sudo add-apt-repository <copy paste line here> should work
[03:03] <Polah> xananax, if you want, back up your entire /etc/apt/sources.list elsewhere just in cas
[03:03] <xananax> Polah: yes i'll do that
[03:03] <xananax> thanks

[03:05] <watie> usr13 : i have never install any
[03:05] <sdz> my gnome session just froze... mouse cursor moves on black screen... any ideas on a way to give it a little kick or just restart gdm?
[03:05] <usr13> watie: localhost:631   #In firefox's address bar
[03:05] <javier__> cmn`, yes... but, any idea why it can't make it work?
[03:05] <watie> usr13: type in to the web browser u mean?
[03:05] <Polah> scribus12, don't message me privately please, keep it in the channel. In that case you'll need to get your ISP to provide a static IP (as well as assigning your own internal network IPs statically)
[03:06] <usr13> yes
[03:06] <jobalcaen> I need help setting a static ip with a wireless interface connecting to a WPA network. It works fine using dhcp but not on static for some reason
[03:07] <yagoo> diamonds, i bet u dont even need to edit the xorg.conf
[03:07] <yagoo> diamonds, u there?
[03:07] <diamonds> yagoo: yep
[03:07] <diamonds> http://askubuntu.com/questions/17590/synaptics-touchpad-on-my-acer-4530-stop-working reading this
[03:07] <yagoo> diamonds, that readme.alps shows to set values for the edgess..
[03:07] <watie> usr13: im not using firefox, i use chromium web browser, how?
[03:07] <luist> whats lighter and faster to boot, unity or gnome?
[03:07] <usr13> jobalcaen: First, see if our router has provision for it.
[03:07] <cmn`> javier__, if i had an NTFS partition to play with I'd be able to help with your issue more, but all the hd's in this house are ext3/4 ;)
[03:07] <yagoo> diamonds, so try to use synclient to make settings for the edges you dont have ..( all edges are currently 0 )
[03:07] <usr13> watie: tame way
[03:07] <diamonds> ????
[03:07] <diamonds> ok
[03:08] <javier__> cmn`, good choice :) thanks a lot anyway!
[03:08] <yagoo> diamonds, if it still doesnt work.. try to use some misc values based on that readme.alps.. maybe 1 or 2 items need a value set
[03:08] <diamonds> which command showed the edges, yagoo ?
[03:08] <Polah> javier__, what are you trying to do?
[03:08] <watie> usr13: then?
[03:08] <yagoo> diamonds, duh.. synclient
[03:08] <yagoo> diamonds, the log u posted..
[03:08] <yagoo> diamonds, all EDGES ARE ZERO
[03:08] <usr13> watie: add printer
[03:08] <diamonds> yagoo: yeah I posted it but I don't know what any of the logs mean :p
[03:08] <scribus12> Polah: thanks. I'll see if they'll d that:)
[03:09] <xananax> Polah: No, this does not work; apt-add-repo is only for PPAs. To add repositories, you edit the file (or echo the line >>)
[03:09] <xananax> So in the end it's the same as disabling/enabling the repo
[03:09] <usr13> watie: Or Administration and then  Add Printer
[03:09] <xananax> it does not get a new GPG key or anything
[03:09] <watie> usr13: they need username and password, its my desktop login or what?
[03:10] <usr13> yea
[03:10] <yagoo> diamonds, in a sec
[03:10] <Polah> scribus12, might cost you extra. I believe there are services that provide hostnames for dynamic addresses if you want to look that up as well
[03:10] <Polah> xananax, no it works for all both.
[03:10] <diamonds> thanks, I'm reading the manpage
[03:10] <cmn`> javier__, I don't know if this will help but I just got pointed at testdisk, it's in the repos so you can apt-get it
[03:10] <Polah> xananax, also automatically gets the key for it.
[03:10] <xananax> Polah: ok I am a noob so you must be right, but it does not show any message that it's getting the key like it would when I add PPAs
[03:11] <m477> some pdf files have prohibition of copy text from them via ctrl+c, how can I go around it?
[03:11] <Polah> xananax, Check it's added it to your sources.list quickly, it might not like having spaces or suchlike
[03:12] <watie> usr13 : do i have to plug in my printer usb cable into my pc?
[03:12] <xananax> Polah: It does get added, but the line is not the same; the line I removed is "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty-updates main restricted universe multiverse" and the line I have now is "http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/"....
[03:12] <nelson_> holaa
[03:13] <diamonds> yagoo: what do you mean the edges are all zero?
[03:13] <diamonds> cuz it doesn't appear that way when I synclient -l
[03:13] <yagoo> diamonds, http://paste.ubuntu.com/718461/
[03:13] <yagoo> diamonds, um yes it does
[03:13] <watie> usr13 : i cant find the printer that i want, but i got printer that connect with my pc using usb cable
[03:13] <diamonds> yagoo: I believe you if you say so
[03:13] <diamonds> but it says LeftEdge = 1752
[03:14] <yagoo> diamonds, are u an ass? You pasted that url u gave me -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/718461/
[03:14] <diamonds> yagoo: I know but at the top line two is "LeftEdge                = 1752"
[03:14] <yagoo> diamonds, i said the bottom (if u see the irc log.. i talk about the "ending" of the log)
[03:14] <yagoo> argh
[03:14] <Polah> xananax, remove that, save again and then run this:  sudo add-apt-respository 'deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty-updates main restricted universe multiverse'   see how that goes
[03:14] <diamonds> yagoo: OK I see now!  There are multiple things called *Edge
[03:15] <diamonds> yagoo: please don't get upset, I appreciate your help
[03:15] <Polah> xananax, make sure it hasn't added lines with just "deb" and "natty-updates" and the like too, in case it's interpreted each string separated by spaces as individual arguments
[03:15] <yagoo> thats ok
[03:15] <diamonds> I'm sorry I don't know more about the kernal and whatnot, I'm using ubuntu cuz I was told it was "easy to use" :(
[03:16] <yagoo> diamonds, dunno much about synaptics.. i would compare that synclient -l output with that readme.alps sample and try to merge what u dont have..
[03:16] <yagoo> diamonds, if it still doesnt work.. go the xorg.conf and   Option	"Device"		"/dev/psaux"
[03:16] <diamonds> I read the synclient manpage and I didn't see how to SET settings
[03:16] <yagoo> diamonds, i pastebinit that readme.alps for easier copy/paste -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/718469/
[03:17] <diamonds> thanks
[03:17] <diamonds> where's the config file?
[03:17] <xananax> Polah: I get the same error as before: Failed to fetch bzip2:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_natty-updates_universe_binary-i386_Packages  Hash Sum mismatch
[03:17] <yagoo> diamonds, u can probably throw in synclient command line in ~/.xsession -- form is-> synclient var1=value var2=value .. ..
[03:17] <xananax> This is killing me
[03:17] <yagoo> diamonds, it's 1 line..
[03:18] <Polah> xananax, I don't know then. There is an option to ignore non-matching keys when using apt-get but obviously it's no ideal to have to do that every time.
[03:18] <xananax> Polah: do you know if I can delete my gpg file and refresh all keys?
[03:19] <nonotanother> irc.greatirc.net
[03:19] <diamonds> yagoo: I still don't understand, this http://paste.ubuntu.com/718469/ doesn't address AreaTopEdge etc.
[03:20] <Polah> xananax, that could work. I'll test it for you
[03:20] <xananax> Polah: thanks a lot, sorry to be a bother
[03:21] <diamonds> If  sup‐ ported by the server (version 1.9 and later), the edge may be specified in percent of the total height of the touchpad. Property: "Synaptics Area"
[03:21] <diamonds> how can I figure out my synaptics server version?
[03:21] <Polah> xananax, apt-get update doesn't like me for doing that
[03:21] <oooaaaooo> hey guys have a question about window sizes in ubuntu 11.04; Some of my system windows are oversized; e.g. when I open up evolution's preferences i cannot see the OK/APply buttons at the bottom. Sometimes I get away with resizing the windows manually but most of the times i cant resize them. WHat should I do? Change my resolution?
[03:22] <Bentley_> hi all, I've upgraded to 11.10, and everything was working great. Then I went into compiz settings and disabled "snapping windows". After I did that, I lost my unity sidebar/launcher and the top panel. Rebooting doesn't help, I'm left with no way to use my system. I managed to open a terminal and start xchat, and here I am. Any idea how to debug?
[03:22] <arooni-mobile> hi folks: i'm getting this error message: "junglediskdesktop: error while loading shared libraries: libnotify.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" when i try to run jungle disk on ubuntu 11.10 64 bit version
[03:23] <xananax> Bentley_: run
[03:23] <gelf> alt+F1
[03:23] <magn3ts> Does anyone have NGINX starting at boot in Oneiric or is this anohter thing to add to the list of BROKEN?
[03:23] <TheEvilPhoenix> oooaaaooo:  set the max resolution you can.
[03:23] <xananax> Bentley_: compiz config from the command line and change the setting back for now (I am looking for the command)
[03:23] <TheEvilPhoenix> magn3ts:  #ubuntu-server
[03:23] <ouyes> is there any painting tools , I am reading a computer text books, I want to make some notes, so I need a tool to draw lines, rectangular, and put texts besides them?
[03:23] <TheEvilPhoenix> magn3ts:  may I /query you?
[03:23] <magn3ts> TheEvilPhoenix, uh, sure?
[03:24] <magn3ts> (I don't know what that means)
[03:24] <oooaaaooo> TheEvilPhoenix: i just checked and it seems to be the max
[03:24] <TheEvilPhoenix> oooaaaooo:  netbook?
[03:24] <xananax> Bentley_: alt+f2 then ccsm, or just ccsm from the command line
[03:24] <oooaaaooo> TheEvilPhoenix: yeah
[03:24] <diamonds> how do I enable shmconfig?
[03:25] <darius> can anyone help me? I'm still having issues with Skype and Minecraft
[03:25] <diamonds> man -k shmconfig yields nothing
[03:25] <TheEvilPhoenix> oooaaaooo:  yeah... you might be out of luck... i have the same issue with *ANY* version
[03:25] <TheEvilPhoenix> darius:  what's your issue with minecraft?
[03:26] <oooaaaooo> TheEvilPhoenix: aww :( I guess I could hook it up to an lcd and up the res?
[03:26] <darius> theevilphoenix, whenever im at the login screen it says that it can't connect to minecraft.net when I try and sign in
[03:26] <TheEvilPhoenix> darius:  that's a networking issue
[03:26] <diamonds> "Today's X rarely requires manual configuration." heh... yes "only if you want to use your touchpad" :p
[03:26] <TheEvilPhoenix> darius: or the sites are being blocked
[03:26] <scribus12> does there have to be that menu on left side? is ther a way to disable it and have more usual start button?
[03:27] <darius> TheEvilPheoni, how can I fix that? I have a Minecraft server running on the same network and that connects fine
[03:28] <xananax> scribus12: you can remove unity and put back gnome2, but that won't hold for long, if you are using ubuntu you are going to have to get used to unity
[03:28] <Bentley_> xananax, thanks, that got me into the compiz settings. Still no love though - no unity launcher or top panel. Compiz seems to be working (ie: i can turn on wobbly windows and see it working)
[03:28] <xananax> did you try running gnome-panel?
[03:29] <xananax> Bentley_: my problem is I have no idea how unity works, I can deal with gnome errors, but I ain't using unity so...
[03:29] <Polah> xananax, you could try reimporting the key manually, but I don't know the keys for the repositories.
[03:30] <Bentley_> xananax, I noticed that there is a Ubuntu Unity Plugin" in compiz settings. It was turned off.  Turned it on a viola!
[03:30] <xananax> Polah: thanks a lot for all the effort anyway. Do you have any idea where I could find that?
[03:30] <scribus12> xananax: I guess i' might be better off trying lubunu or xubuntu.
[03:30] <darius> and can anyone help with my skype issue? all I get is binary file corrupt, I've reinstalled skype 10 times and it stil says it.
[03:30] <xananax> Bentley_: Good luck!
[03:31] <yagoo> diamonds, file /etc/X11/xorg.conf << exists?
[03:31] <xananax> scribus12: yeah, or Mint, it's still using gnome2, but eventually, it will have to switch to G3
[03:31] <yagoo> diamonds, if not.. then i can tell u how a command can make a sample just for ur machine
[03:31] <diamonds> yagoo: no it doesn't
[03:32] <Polah> xananax, No idea. the command is gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv <key>  then there's a second one to add it to the keyring if I can find it
[03:32] <diamonds> here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config it says /etc/xorg.conf and that's not there either
[03:32] <xananax> Polah: thanks a lot, if I can get the key I should find my way around to add it to trusted.gpg somehow
[03:33] <diamonds> I tried sudo Xorg -configure but it said "Server is already active for display 0
[03:33] <xananax> scribus12: I am personally testing Mint 11 as I speak, it's cool, I it feels like my good old ubuntu again, but when gnome2 will not be an option anymore I'll probably turn to xfce, unless unity or G3 has evolved enough so I can customize them
[03:33] <diamonds> so I think I understand the issue now yagoo, as you pointed out
[03:33] <diamonds> it's ignoring the whole trackpad (it seems)
[03:34] <watie> anyone can help me : i want to setup wireless printer into my ubuntu desktop. i do have printer direct connect using usb cable but i still need to connect to my other office freind printer.
[03:34] <scribus12> xananax: I'm using centos and fedoa myself wuth openbox usually. was just looking for something easy for my mom.
[03:34] <diamonds> but I don't know a) where to fix it and b) what values to add, because synclient -m doesn't work because SHMConfig is disabled and I can't figure out how to enable it
[03:34] <Polah> xananax, I don't suppose it's given you a string of letters and numbers with one of the errors, like D04AFJG145L or something like that?
[03:34] <scribus12> xananax: ubuntu though seems way how can I put it .. untraditionally looking:)
[03:35] <xananax> Polah: yes it did! GPG error: http://security.ubuntu.com natty-security Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[03:35] <xananax> scribus12: if it's for you mom by all means get her mint
[03:36] <xananax> scribus12: or jolicloud, looks cool, never tried it tho, but I was thinking of getting it for my own mom
[03:36] <xananax> it's untraditional but seems to work well
[03:37] <jo-erlend> if I choose a different session than Unity before I  log in, that is remembered to the next login. Where is that stored?
[03:37] <scribus12> xananax: totally does.  I hate to be a help desk though. You know like - move ur mouse there. click there.
[03:37] <MrKeuner> hi, which key to see kernel options upon boot?
[03:37] <MrKeuner> lucid
[03:37] <MrKeuner> !grub
[03:37] <en1gma> is 'make-kpkg' only used when making kernels? i mean if i dload the source for say firefox and i go to build it i would not use 'mak-kpkg' there?
[03:37] <MrKeuner> !grub1
[03:37] <watie> how to setup canon wireless printer?
[03:38] <Polah> xananax, I've just discovered the apt-key command which is nice and may help us here. Could you pastebin the output of apt-key list please?
[03:38] <diamonds> yagoo: so....
[03:38] <diamonds> synclient touchpadoff=0
[03:38] <diamonds> I'm going to go hang myself now :)
[03:39] <en1gma> what about if i got the sources for a pci nic driver and wanted to build a module. would that use the command 'make-kpkg'?
[03:39] <yagoo> diamonds, ?
[03:39] <diamonds> that was it
[03:39] <Polah> xananax, or rather run that as sudo please
[03:39] <en1gma> anyone here that has done some custom building?
[03:40] <xananax> Polah: woah, you're really going out of your way to help me, I appreciate it: http://pastebin.com/XjXCRxYa
[03:40] <diamonds> aaaaand... it's NOT in the synclient manpage, NOT in the synaptics manpage :)
[03:40] <MrKeuner> grub does not give me kernel selection menu in lucid, how can i choose another kernel when booting?
[03:40] <diamonds> so the next person who says to RTFM can GDIAF
[03:40] <diamonds> thank you for all your help yagoo!!!
[03:40] <en1gma> me me im next i called it :)
[03:40] <Polah> xananax, there's not much to do at twenty to five in the morning (;
[03:40] <UngaHunga> Hi.  Ubuntu 11.04.  Is there a way to make a network shortcut on my desktop.  The network is an SMB mount(via gvfs).  Thanks.
[03:41] <yagoo> diamonds, np..
[03:41] <yagoo> diamonds, i actually learn something along the process of helping :)
[03:41] <en1gma> 'make-kpkg' when is it to be used? only for kernels, modules or packages like firefox?
[03:41] <diamonds> how does the manpage not have that option!!!! I'll email the synaptics ppl... tomorrow :)
[03:42] <watie> anyone, how to setup canon wireless printer?
[03:42] <diamonds> oh it's camel case
[03:42] <Polah> xananax, and the same for    sudo apt-key export 437D05B5 please
[03:42] <en1gma> is there another channel i should be in...it feels like 75% of my questions i ask are way beyond what most people can answer in here
[03:42] <en1gma> its always one of the ops or regs that help me
[03:43] <en1gma> i want #ubuntu-tier3
[03:43] <diamonds> yagoo it was actually right there in the paste XD TouchpadOff = 1
[03:43] <xananax> Polah: http://pastebin.com/DDJJHmVe
[03:44] <cmn`> en1gma, it's for kernels
[03:44] <diamonds> wait, so the AreaTopEdge and whatnot are... I guess irrelevant if you set them all to zero
[03:44] <kiruax> bonjour
[03:44] <kiruax> comment je fais pour avoir a liste des chan ?
[03:44] <diamonds> kiruax: /msg alis help
[03:44] <xananax> en1gma: make-kpkg utility is used to create the kernel related Debian packages
[03:44] <liam> Hi. I have just installed 11.10 on a lenovo idea pad Y560P. Everything works and then all of a sudden if stops booting. Can't see any error messages. I have already tried one reinstall and then the same thing happens again. Any ideas on how I could find out whats happening?
[03:45] <kiruax> merci
[03:45] <en1gma> cmn` so even if im building a module it can not be used? #2 ok i dloaded another (what appears to be a modified kernel) and it is missing the debian/scripts die
[03:45] <en1gma> dir*
[03:45] <en1gma> xananax so if i got a nic driver i want to build from sources i would or i would not use it?
[03:46] <en1gma> kernel related is drivers/modules right?
[03:46] <xananax> en1gma, I truly have no idea sorry; never built packages
[03:46] <cmn`> en1gma, seperate modules are usually packaged seperately. make-kpkg is usually for just the kernel tree
[03:47] <en1gma> you know what i have spent about 2 hrs on the ubuntu wiki how to compile a kernel and that thing is crap
[03:47] <en1gma> someone really needs to take a look at it...its actually brokebn
[03:47] <xananax> en1gma: I would advise to go higher up in the doc (debian) for such low-level stuff
[03:47] <en1gma> ahh ok.
[03:48] <danes> hello, anyone knows if there is any media application to modify pictures and make them look like 3d?
[03:48] <xananax> I never tried, but I guess the ubuntu doc comes only as a completion of debian doc when it comes to these things
[03:48] <en1gma> strange stuff is happening in this area....its actually trying to use debian make files that are not in the right place for ubuntu
[03:48] <xananax> danes: what does that mean? make them look like flat planes rotated in 3d space?
[03:49] <en1gma> ok thanks gonna go back to googling
[03:49] <danes> xananax: I just want to make a picture look like 3d when you wear the blue and red glasses
[03:49] <amer> hi
[03:49] <amer> hi room
[03:49] <amer> how are you all
[03:50] <xananax> danes: you have two pictures taken from two different angles (10cm)?
[03:50] <diamonds> can anyone tell me why ubuntu disabled my touchpad on update?
[03:50] <CarlFK> danes: I think I just saw something about that using blender
[03:50] <UngaHunga> Hi.  Ubuntu 11.04.  Is there a way to make a network shortcut on my desktop.  The network is an SMB mount(via gvfs).  Thanks.

[03:50] <amer> got 1 doubt.
[03:50] <esteban__> holas
[03:50] <Polah> xananax, sorry about the wait. Your keys match for that repository, so I'm stumped as to why it's throwing errors about mismatches
[03:51] <boldfilter> where do I access user groups in 11.10?
[03:51] <danes> xananax: I am looking at using a single picture and make a phase shift of a copy aofthe picture in blue or something similar and make a 3d illusion. I am wondering if there is any app already there?
[03:51] <amer> where is documentation manuals installed on my machine. I just installed them from synaptec manager
[03:51] <esteban__> alguien me ayuda
[03:51] <amer> where is documentation manuals installed on my machine. I just installed them from synaptec manager
[03:51] <Polah> xananax, you say you've cleared your /var/lib/apt/lists?
[03:52] <watie> please help
[03:52] <danes> !ubun-es esteban
[03:52] <xananax> Polah: ?!! This is a two days fresh install, it's really killing me that it got broken so fast...Twas sopposed to be DA install of the year....Anyway, big big thanks for the effort
[03:52] <xananax> Polah: yeah, several times
[03:52] <xananax> but I'll try once more
[03:52] <MrKeuner> grub does not give me kernel selection menu in lucid, how can i choose another kernel when booting?
[03:52] <xananax> danes: but you know this won't be 3d, right?
[03:52] <esteban__> alguien habla español?
[03:52] <danes> xananax: yes, I just want the effect
[03:52] <liam> my 11.10 install has stopped booting. The last thing I see before it stalls is "Speech dispatcher disabled edit /etc/default/speech-dispatcher checking for running unattended upgrades". Anyone know what might be causing this?
[03:52] <Polah> xananax, well if you're lucky perhaps next time you reboot it'll fix it (: Else, a fresh install certainly should but that'd be a lot of effort for a small thing.
[03:53] <danes> esteban, yo, pero aqui no vas a recibir mucha ayuda, ve al canal de ayuda en espanol ubuntu-es
[03:53] <xananax> danes: then you should be able to do it in gimp, copy the image, remove channels, merge both images

[04:18] <savid> Has anyone installed oneiric on a macbook pro 8 (early 2011)?
[04:18] <newstandards> register
[04:19] <yagoo> savid, u need refit
[04:19] <yagoo> savid, refit.sf.net
[04:19] <meta-coder> gulzar, i think it is libimlib2 and not just imlib2. And its relative URL is pub/ubuntu/pool/main/i/imlib2/libimlib2_1.4.4-1_i386.deb on any ubuntu mirror..
[04:20] <savid> yagoo, yeah,  I've already installed oneiric, I'm just having some issues with a few things
[04:20] <gulzar> meta-coder, Ok . yes it is. But it is installed and I am still getting error with conky
[04:20] <meta-coder> gulzar, what kind of error?
[04:20] <yagoo> savid, u need refit
[04:20] <yagoo> savid, install grub2 to linux's "/"
[04:21] <savid> yagoo,  I know that, like I said I've already installed oneiric on my macbook
[04:21] <yagoo> savid, partition
[04:21] <yagoo> savid, but what about grub2?
[04:21] <yagoo> savid, do u have refit , y/n?
[04:21] <savid> yagoo, yes, I've installed refit and have installed oneric.  It works fine, just having issues with wireless, trackpad, and keyboard.
[04:22] <gulzar> meta-coder, see this http://pastebin.com/kDXVcqnt
[04:22] <yagoo> savid, i beleieve there's generic linux procedure for the macs.. (u may need a bootline option or not) (see google: ubuntu wiki mac)
[04:23] <savid> yagoo,   yes, I've read through the wikis, no specific instructions for my macbook version and oneiric.
[04:23] <savid> yagoo,  touchpad is "supposed" to work out of the box,  but doesn't seem to.  Do you have a macbook w/ oneiric?
[04:23] <darius> Does anyone know how to improve the performance of minecraft, my computer is supposed to have an extremely nice graphics card but minecraft runs horribly.
[04:24] <meta-coder> gulzar, see this thread (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1295621 ) has any solution.
[04:25] <arooni-mobile> is there a way to customize 11.10's unity alt tab behavior?  i kind of liked it when alt tab would only work on the current workspace; where now it works across workspaces
[04:25] <alex1017> gulzar? the autoremove cleared out a bunch of *****, like 40+ M....  i tried to update again, same lack of disk space msg (but i should have enough now i think) -- should i restart my computer for the autoremove changes to take effect and clear the diskspace it said it would clear???
[04:25] <guest10320> Hello I am a Ubuntu user and I have a peculiar problem since I have installed this os.
[04:26] <dgrant> is there any way to edit the entries that pop up in lens?
[04:26] <guest10320> Inside input boxes on websites such as gmail or what have you the auto-suggest feature that normally remembers my password and suggests it
[04:26] <dgrant> like see what binary they actually execute?
[04:26] <guest10320> suggests a random string of numbe  slike "AJOndaJKL33jkkj" as if I typed that into the input box
[04:26] <gulzar> alex1017, no , no need of restart. Try checking disk space. How much is it?
[04:27] <guest10320> Can someone explaint o me what may be going on with these strings of numbers appearing in my input boxes?
[04:27] <guest10320> numbers/letters*
[04:27] <gulzar> meta-coder, Thank You
[04:27] <alex1017> gulzar, it says i am using 5.9 G of 6.8 G
[04:28] <meta-coder> gulzar, welcome..
[04:28] <alex1017> gulzar, the install says it wants 262 and i need to free 12 M
[04:28] <rmk> hi -- has anyone seen an issue during installation where dns resolution fails regardless of what you do?  I drop to shell, can ping all the necessary resources but nothing will resolve.  /etc/resolv.conf is correct and I can ping the nameserver in question.
[04:28] <alex1017> 262 M
[04:29] <gulzar> alex1017, Ok then... clear your thumbnails. from /home it will save lots of space. More than autoremove. If confused then use Bleachbit from software centre and use it to clean unused space. It wil surely save you
[04:30] <gulzar> alex1017, check disk space with disk utility.
[04:30] <gulzar> alex1017, it looks like something is wrong.,,,with the partitions
[04:31] <gulzar> alex1017, how big is your / ?
[04:31] <gulzar> alex1017, you made a separate /home or is it within / ?
[04:31] <alex1017> gulzar, ty, i dont know about thumbnails or bleachbit -- can you give me more specifics on where/how to use those?
[04:31] <BlackWeb> Have a Intel Graphics embedded video card on labtop, which i have the "xserver-xorg-video-intel", and after manually telling it to use the intel driver then Desktop Effects still cant be enabled any ideas
[04:31] <alex1017> ohhhhhhh maybe there is a partition in there, but the upgrades have worked in the past
[04:32] <alex1017> i'm not sure how to answer your questions -- how to look at what you are askking me to look at
[04:32] <gulzar> alex1017, bleachbit is like ccleaner on windows machine. Install it from software center and its very easy to sue. You wil get it in first look
[04:32] <SinnerNyx> in what conditions would grub not do the usual countdown to autoselect the first option?
[04:32] <gulzar> alex1017, OK then step wise....
[04:32] <gulzar> alex1017, open disk utility
[04:32] <alex1017> taking notes....
[04:33] <alex1017> is that Disk Usage Analyzer?
[04:33] <gulzar> alex1017, you can use it also...
[04:33] <alex1017> ok i'm there
[04:33] <gulzar> alex1017, but disk-utility is preinstalled in ubuntu
[04:34] <gulzar> alex1017, if disk-utility is not there then install it with software center
[04:34] <gulzar> alex1017, very small and very handy
[04:34] <alex1017> how do i get to software center?
[04:35] <alex1017> btw i SUPER appreciate this!
[04:35] <Anom01y> hi, I am trying add a printer with Ubuntu 10.04, and the computer doesn't even recognize the thing is plugged in
[04:35] <Anom01y> usually when I plug in a new printer, Ubuntu detects it,
[04:35] <gulzar> alex1017, it is called software-manager
[04:35] <Anom01y> the printer is a Brother msg ChanServ ACCESS #roomname ADD username +votiA
[04:35] <Anom01y> er
[04:36]  * gulzar banging head
[04:36] <Anom01y> the printer is a brother dcp-7065DN
[04:36] <alex1017> is it a menu option on the computer, or a website?
[04:36] <Anom01y> ubuntu doesn't detect when it is plugged in ?
[04:36] <gulzar> alex1017, wait
[04:36] <Anom01y> should ubuntu detect every printer or is there some exceptions ??!?
[04:36] <RealKillaz> Hi there anyone here knows how to make NetFlix work on Ubuntu?
[04:36] <TheEvilPhoenix> !enter Anom01y
[04:36] <TheEvilPhoenix> er
[04:36] <solid_liq> anyone know if anyone has created a decent GUI based video transcoding app for Linux yet?
[04:37] <TheEvilPhoenix> !enter | Anom01y
[04:37] <xangua> !printer | Anom01y
[04:37] <TheEvilPhoenix> RealKillaz:  run Windows in a virtual environment?
[04:37] <TheEvilPhoenix> :P
[04:37] <TheEvilPhoenix> woah lag
[04:37] <RealKillaz> TheEvilPhoenix, waw....
[04:37] <gulzar> alex1017, type this in terminal - sudo apt-get install gnome-disk-utility
[04:37] <gulzar> alex1017, done?
[04:37] <alex1017> ok got it
[04:38] <gulzar> alex1017, installed?
[04:38] <TheEvilPhoenix> RealKillaz:  i havent found a way to make it work in linux.  Short of running IE8 or something in Wine, with Silverlight... which only works 15% of the time
[04:39] <RealKillaz> TheEvilPhoenix, I still can not imagine such a service will not work on a Linux OS. I mean is it so difficult for them?
[04:39] <TheEvilPhoenix> RealKillaz:  they use Silverlight
[04:39] <TheEvilPhoenix> its a MS-only product
[04:40] <RealKillaz> TheEvilPhoenix, the fact they use SilverLight. I already think the service sucks without even watching one single movie!!
[04:40] <gulzar> alex1017, done?
[04:40] <alex1017> gulzar, it said it couldnt find package, but i am looking at something on disk usage analyzer that might help?
[04:41] <gulzar> alex1017, you can use it
[04:41] <RealKillaz> TheEvilPhoenix, I heard it is working on ChromeOS
[04:41] <RealKillaz> TheEvilPhoenix, and Mac
[04:41] <gulzar> alex1017, so how big is your root partition and how big is your home partition?
[04:41] <alex1017> it say "/" is 100% full at 2.9, which looks wrong
[04:42] <RealKillaz> TheEvilPhoenix,  ChromeOS is a linux variant....
[04:42] <RealKillaz> linux distro
[04:42] <gulzar> alex1017, disk analyzer can do that work but for me it is confusing.. so finallly what is the result
[04:42] <alex1017> home is 7.2% full
[04:42] <gulzar> alex1017, no its not wrong
[04:42] <gulzar> alex1017, buddy .. you made wrong partitions.. but don't worry
[04:43] <alex1017> lol ty!!
[04:43] <alex1017> "God is my co-pilot" lol
[04:43] <SinnerNyx> if have to hard boot my machine, grub doesn't automatically go to the first option as usual.. how do i fix this?
[04:43] <gulzar> alex1017,  try this - sudo apt-get install bleachbit
[04:43] <alex1017> ok, on it
[04:44] <SinnerNyx> sorry that's not clear. let me try again.
[04:44] <alex1017> damn, it says it cant find that either
[04:44] <matrillox> any 11.10 Server users here?
[04:44] <gulzar> alex1017, you should have made / to be atleast 5GB for normal functioning and 8GB for such upgrades
[04:44] <SinnerNyx> if i have to hard boot my machine, the next time I boot grub doesn't automatically boot the default system after a 3-second timeout. how would I make it ignore the state of the last boot and just use the default boot line?
[04:44] <SinnerNyx> ya matrillox
[04:45] <gulzar> alex1017, Ok on which system are you?
[04:45] <matrillox> having an issue after applying the most recent patches via apt-get update, upgrade.
[04:45] <urlin2u> SinnerNyx, what is the default, and what is it actually booting to?
[04:45] <gulzar> alex1017, which version ?
[04:45] <gulzar> alex1017, how big is your hard disk?
[04:46] <SinnerNyx> urlin2u, I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 server. The rest are all recovery options
[04:46] <MrPocketz> Man. Ubuntus acting wicked lame. Hanging and freezing wayyyy laggy
[04:46] <jakes> guys anyone tell me how to install backtrack 5 menu in ubuntu plz
[04:46] <MrPocketz> heat issue me thnks
[04:46] <gulzar> alex1017, there?
[04:46] <SinnerNyx> essentially this is a headless VM, and I need to know that it will always attempt to boot regularly, so that it gets to the point that the ssh server becomes available.
[04:46] <alex1017> yes...
[04:47] <alex1017> i think it says i have 6.8 G space
[04:47] <SinnerNyx> matrillox, you'll have to be more specific
[04:47] <gulzar> MrPocketz, using Unity?
[04:47] <matrillox> eth0 is not coming online during boot. only an ifdown then ifup at the console brings eth0 up.
[04:47] <urlin2u> jakes, not in the repos I sure you will have to look for a download of it on the web, why would you want it?
[04:47] <SinnerNyx> matrillox: what issue, is this a clean install? did you install any non-default packages?
[04:47] <gulzar> alex1017, ummm which ubuntu version you are using?
[04:47] <urlin2u> SinnerNyx, I'm not familiar with servers sorry.
[04:47] <MrPocketz> yeah, i jsut noticed the PSU fan isn't spining..
[04:47] <alex1017> let me look
[04:47] <MrPocketz> bbl
[04:47] <SinnerNyx> urlin2u, i dont think its any different from regular ubuntu
[04:48] <SinnerNyx> if i have a regular ubuntu and i do a hard boot, i believe grub wont autoboot the default system
[04:48] <urlin2u> SinnerNyx, sudo update grub will reload it posssibly if you have changed ut.
[04:48] <urlin2u> sudo update-grub *
[04:48] <SinnerNyx> thats fair, just not sure what to change in the grub config. thanks for the pointer though urlin2u
[04:48] <barberdt> SinnerNyx: not sure how much help this will be, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
[04:49] <barberdt> worth a peak though
[04:49] <barberdt> peek*
[04:49] <SinnerNyx> barberdt: thx. i am looking through it as we speak
[04:49] <barberdt> SinnerNyx: sounds good
[04:49] <alex1017> gulzar, how do i find out which version?  (sorry)
[04:49] <alex1017> this ubuntu came preloaded on a Dell mini 9
[04:50] <gulzar> alex1017, I mean which ubuntu is it? 11.04 , 11.10 or  10.04
[04:50] <gulzar> alex1017, OK
[04:50] <being> hello
[04:50] <alex1017> i'm used to windows :S
[04:50] <xangua> alex1017: lsb_release -a
[04:50] <gulzar> alex1017, no probleam
[04:50] <gulzar> alex1017, open third menu
[04:51] <gulzar> alex1017, systems
[04:51] <alex1017> omg, it says 8.0.4....
[04:51] <barberdt> ouch ^^
[04:51] <gulzar> alex1017, what????????
[04:52] <alex1017> pretty f***** lame, huh?
[04:52] <gulzar> alex1017, when did you bought that lappy?
[04:52] <alex1017> about 2 years agi
[04:52] <alex1017> ago*
[04:52] <gulzar> alex1017, then also open the third menu from left on the top bar
[04:52] <gulzar> alex1017,  and search for synaptic
[04:52] <barberdt> two years should still be at least 9.x
[04:53] <gulzar> alex1017, you sould give these informations before
[04:53] <alex1017> sorry :(
[04:53] <gulzar> barberdt, ya it should but its not
[04:53] <alex1017> i'm sorry and embarrassed, guys
[04:53] <gulzar> alex1017, the only option is download the latest version 11.10 and install it .. You have no option left. 8.0 is over
[04:53] <barberdt> alex1017: never be embarassed
[04:54] <barberdt> that's what these places are for
[04:54] <gulzar> alex1017, or try 10.04 it is long term editions
[04:54] <gulzar> barberdt, I can't believe they ship that old verison
[04:55] <barberdt> I wasn't aware Dell was even shipping with ubuntu as an option back then
[04:55] <gulzar> barberdt, yes DELL WAS but not now... I think they are drooping support for Linux. Very less options are there from the
[04:55] <alex1017> ok, thats what i'll do, research how to get the new OS,.......  you guys are totally great -- especially you, gulzar
[04:55] <gulzar> alex1017, http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download
[04:56] <gulzar> alex1017, mention not ;)
[04:56] <SinnerNyx> is it possible to boot without grub?
[04:56] <alex1017> ;)
[04:56] <gulzar> alex1017, Linux is community where everybody have equal rights and equal freedom
[04:56] <barberdt> gulzar: I'm not too worried. I've stayed away from Dell hardware for some time now.
[04:57] <gulzar> SinnerNyx, yes with Lilo
[04:57] <barberdt> perfectly comfy with my thinkpad :P
[04:57] <gulzar> alex1017, follow the link
[04:57] <gulzar> SinnerNyx, what is your requirement?
[04:57] <SinnerNyx> gulzar Lilo is another bootloader?  I want it to just go directly to booting Ubuntu Server 11.10
[04:57] <alex1017> i will, gulzar....  10 pm here, gotta call it a night....  so i'll tackle tomorrow....  onward and upward....  again, thanks, and take care!!
[04:58] <barberdt> SinnerNyx: what I'm confused about is that, if it's 11.10 and there's only one system on disk, it should be bypassing grub alltogether, right?
[04:58] <alex1017> linux forever!
[04:58] <barberdt> or is that not the case on server edition...
[04:58] <gulzar> alex1017, urwelcome
[04:58] <barberdt> i'm running 11.10 desktop ed. alone on disk, and i never see grub on boot
[04:58] <SinnerNyx> barberdt: all the server editions i've installed have come with a grub bootloader with recovery options. I haven't installed the regular ubuntu package in a while
[04:59] <barberdt> SinnerNyx: I don't doubt that grub is there, it just says "hey, only one choice here, so no need for me to show myself"
[04:59] <barberdt> SinnerNyx: but I guess that makes sense that it would show with recovery options when you hard boot
[04:59] <Madpilot> barberdt, it might not be pausing on grub - my single-OS system doesn't really - but it's there somewhere
[04:59] <gulzar> barberdt, SinnerNyx yes you can hide the boot menu and boot directly
[04:59] <SinnerNyx> barberdt: exactly. those recovery options are listed a seperate boot options
[05:00] <SinnerNyx> gulzar: sweet, so where do i start?
[05:01] <gulzar> SinnerNyx, wait.....
