[06:28] <greezmunkey> Mohan_chml: Loading Lucid into a virtual PC in WIn7 ultimate - just playing with it...
[06:29] <PhrostyB> wait a minute... ubuntu doesn't come with synaptic anymore?
[06:29] <PhrostyB> can i still add it?
[06:29] <Mohan_chml> greezmunkey: Okies
[06:29] <glebihan> PhrostyB: sudo apt-get install synaptic
[06:29] <soldiermoth> clear
[06:29] <PhrostyB> thanks homeboy
[06:29] <histo> PhrostyB: I thought they put it backin
[06:29] <skippy_> if anybody can help me out, im having issues with wifi + torrents.  /var/log/messages: rtl819x_TxCheckStuck: QueueID=1 tcb_desc->nStuckCount=2
[06:29] <poena> Error #1 using FUSB install: http://paste.ubuntu.com/511401/, Error #2 using pendrivelinux: http://paste.ubuntu.com/511403/ (hangs)
[06:30] <zacstone> I STILL CANT GET MY COMPTUER TO ROOT to /
[06:30] <greezmunkey> glebihan: I'll try it!
[06:30] <skippy_> drops my connection for no reason whenever dl-ing torrents or transferring files via ftp/sftp
[06:30] <zacstone> someobdy would help me, i just need little time
[06:30] <greezmunkey> glebihan: nice! thanks.
[06:30] <glebihan> greezmunkey: you're welcome
[06:30] <PhrostyB> i dont see it
[06:30] <Mohan_chml> zacstone: Hello. you want to login as root?
[06:30] <poena> This is install on a ASUS 900A 1.6ghz atom netbook
[06:30] <PhrostyB> you know what i realy liked in mint that i miss? application search
[06:31] <zacstone> Mohan_chml:  i can't even install ubuntu
[06:31] <JoeMaverickSett> poena: did you try System > Administration > Startup Disk Creator?
[06:31] <zacstone> Mohan_chml:  it said "no root file system defined"
[06:31] <Mohan_chml> zacstone: any errors? and is it 10.10 ?
[06:31] <JoeMaverickSett> zacstone: how couldn't you install ubuntu?
[06:31] <poena> I'm on a separate laptop to build the USB
[06:31] <zacstone> JoeMaverickSett:  yes 10.10
[06:31] <zacstone> JoeMaverickSett:  on windows 7
[06:31] <geist> well, that settles it. there's some sort of incompatibility between this box and 10.10
[06:31] <glebihan> PhrostyB: what don't you see ? synaptic ?
[06:31] <histo> geist: with what exactly?
[06:31] <geist> wont boot from the 10.10 cdrom, still boots 10.04 fine
[06:31] <Mohan_chml> zacstone: in your installing had you set up any partition as "/" which is ext3 or 4 ??
[06:31] <PhrostyB> yea
[06:31] <PhrostyB> synaptic
[06:31] <histo> geist: have you checked the cd
[06:32] <PhrostyB> i don't think it came with ubuntu 10-10
[06:32] <greezmunkey> glebihan: vi like editing there I take it??
[06:32] <zacstone> is "/" a label name or what?
[06:32] <geist> histo: well, the full story is i did a network update from 10.04
[06:32] <zacstone> I have 3 gb as swap
[06:32] <dxdemetriou> after upgrade to 10.10 my touchpad does not work. what has been changed in X11 or udev/fdi things from 10.04 to 10.10?
[06:32] <geist> and it's been super flaky ever since
[06:32] <zacstone> and my ext3 is at "/"
[06:32] <Mohan_chml> zacstone: root filesystem = "/"
[06:32] <geist> just tried booting from the 10.10 cd and i get the same flakyness
[06:32] <zacstone> how do id get this?
[06:32] <histo> !md5sum | geist
[06:32] <jimisrvrox> hey guys got a good question...using PLoP I extracted VectorLinux from its ISO using Unetbootin so restart from USB and get nothing but a black screen/white cursor..why is it that the distro isnt starting? Ive got the usb partitioned as ext4 filesystem
[06:32] <glebihan> greezmunkey: what do you mean ?
[06:32] <geist> but 10.04 cd boots and runs fine, so it's not likely it's a hardware failure
[06:32] <glebihan> PhrostyB: did you try installing it ?
[06:33] <skippy_> if anyone's ever solved the issue of torrents causing wifi to drop connection DM me or something. Super frustrating.
[06:33] <skippy_> worked great in 10.04 :/
[06:33] <greezmunkey> glebihan: I was wrong, editing in grub seems to be more like nano...
[06:33] <rabidweezle> what's the package I can find pppd in? I need it for dialing in when I'm sitting in terminal only
[06:33] <Mohan_chml> zacstone: when you are in the installation step, you have to format the partition to ext3 and then there will be option to set / or /hom, /boot etc,
[06:33] <geist> the fkalyness is that sometime between 0 and infinity into the boot it wedges, where the average time is around a minute
[06:33] <Mohan_chml> zacstone: you have to select / in that
[06:33] <PhrostyB> yea i did alt f2 and pasted it
[06:33] <PhrostyB> but nothing
[06:33] <zacstone> there is no /
[06:34] <poena> Also, tried w/ unetbootin - same error.
[06:34] <zacstone> Mohan_chml: there is no '/'
[06:34] <geist> sometimes it make it all the wya and seems to run fine, after a 5 minue hang
[06:34] <histo> geist: select your older kernel and boot
[06:34] <histo> geist: I would run a memtest also
[06:34] <geist> histo: hrm, that's actually valid?
[06:34] <sresu> How to make OpenOffice to use JRE?
[06:34] <poena> some browsing on the ubuntu noob forums suggests it may be something with the asus netbook architecture but idk thats beyond my smarts
[06:34] <glebihan> PhrostyB: no run that in a terminal
[06:34] <geist> yeah, ran memtest for an hour earlier today
[06:34] <geist> trying the older kernel
[06:34] <zacstone> Mohan_chml:  i have 768 gib as ext 3
[06:34] <histo> geist: hold shift to get the grub menu
[06:34] <PhrostyB> Reading state information... Done
[06:34] <PhrostyB> synaptic is already the newest version.
[06:34] <PhrostyB> 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded.
[06:34] <geist> yah
[06:34] <zacstone> Mohan_chml:  then there is linux-swap around 3 gib
[06:35] <glebihan> PhrostyB: then Alt+F2 -> type "gksu synaptic"
[06:35] <histo> !paste | PhrostyB
[06:35] <geist> histo: also starting in recovery doesn't help. it seems to wedge there too
[06:35] <zacstone> Mohan_chml:  under partion /dev/sda3 on extended file system
[06:35] <greezmunkey> Ha! Ubuntu in a win7 VirtPC!
[06:35] <geist> as additional data
[06:35] <PhrostyB> it was only 3 lines :\
[06:35] <PhrostyB> ok thanks glebihan
[06:35] <histo> geist: huh... power supply issue maybe?
[06:35] <geist> runs 10.04 fine
[06:35] <rabidweezle> I did a aptitude search pppd and pulled up 2 packages, ipppd and something else, but ipppd seems to be for isdn, I just need it for a "dialup" style line
[06:35] <histo> geist: thats just odd then. Hard to say without looking at some logs
[06:36] <geist> ah heh. 10.10 just booted like a champ with the old kernel
[06:36] <JoeMaverickSett> poena: hhmm, seems like i don't know why that happens. :(
[06:36] <geist> rebooting, going to try a few times
[06:36] <rabidweezle> (mobile broadband via wvdial)
[06:36] <glebihan> PhrostyB: btw the menu item is probably just hidden, right-click on menu, select "Edit menus" and go to System->Administation, you should find synaptic there and be able to enable the menu item
[06:36] <poena> aw i was kind of hoping you or someone would :(
[06:36] <Mohan_chml> zacstone: the error is that / is not defined and I had not installed maverick yet. so I am looking for screenshots
[06:36] <PhrostyB> ahhh!!!
[06:36] <PhrostyB> i didn't know
[06:36] <Mohan_chml> zacstone: give me a minute
[06:36] <poena> very odd bc 10.04 installed like a breeze
[06:36] <glebihan> rabidweezle: I think it's in ipppd package
[06:37] <JoeMaverickSett> poena: just be patient and ask the question, somone more skilled than me would help you out :)
[06:37] <zacstone> Mohan_chml:  okay
[06:37] <PhrostyB> thanks glebihan ... apparently there's a lot of little quirks in ubuntu i'm not used to (i'm a long time linux mint user... few years now)
[06:37] <rabidweezle> glebihan: I'll give it a shot, thanks
[06:37] <Mohan_chml> zacstone: is the advanced partition tools display the partition setup ?
[06:37] <poena> i will stick around and chat :)
[06:37] <poena> oh i wanted to ask
[06:37] <poena> does 10.10 have window transparency?
[06:37] <JoeMaverickSett> poena: that's the spirit. :)
[06:37] <geist> histo: yeah, .32 kernel seems to be totally stable here... goign to try noapic on the new kernel
[06:38] <geist> it's a relatively 'big' box. server chipset, 16 cpus, multiple ioapics
[06:38] <geist> could be pushing something in the kernel
[06:38] <zacstone> Mohan_chml:  i got nothing, i go straight to that mount and i cannot mount anything but dev/sda
[06:38] <histo> geist: yah I'd play with the acpi settings
[06:38] <zacstone> Mohan_chml:  maybe i'm missing something?
[06:38] <denisubuntu> i've tried rythmbox and itunes..my results is that itunes is better ,fast transf
[06:38] <glebihan> PhrostyB: yeah it takes some time getting used to a new desktop environment
[06:39] <zacstone> Mohan_chml:  i'm staring at GParted program and wonder whats I'm missing :/
[06:39] <Mohan_chml> zacstone: are you in the Live CD now? and installing side by side?
[06:39] <cowsaysmoo> hey guys.  i addded a couple of sata trays to my system but didn't plug any new hd's in.  the uuids of the drives are the same but now when i boot up the system, i have my /home mounted in two places ... in /home and /mnt
[06:39] <zacstone> yes i'm on it now
[06:39] <glebihan> rabidweezle: you're welcome
[06:39] <zacstone> Mohan_chml:  yes live cd
[06:39] <cowsaysmoo> would anyone have a hint as to how this might have happened?  fstab is correct.
[06:39] <rabidweezle> hrm, it tried to configure isdn stuff...
[06:39] <ganeshran> hi is it possible to mount a windows drive inside an ubuntu VM?
[06:39] <PhrostyB> glebihan, but it's not even a new desktop! it's gnome :P
[06:39] <cowsaysmoo> ganera sure
[06:39] <allen_> cowsaysmoo, whats your question?
[06:40] <cowsaysmoo> allen_: i asked it already
[06:40] <Mohan_chml> zacstone: Okay the issue is that the / is not set (if you had installed the previous versions, you would have known how to set it) and the advanced partitioning tool will help
[06:40] <PhrostyB> except it has two panels instead of one.. but i'm planning on condensing it down to one i think
[06:40] <rabidweezle> but I see pppd in there so, I think it's cool
[06:40] <rabidweezle> thanks
[06:40] <allen_> sorry i see it now, i couldnt see it for a sec
[06:40] <noisewaterphd> ganeshran: ive never had it actually work
[06:40] <glebihan> PhrostyB: well yes, but it's still a different panel and menu structure
[06:40] <cowsaysmoo> no sweat
[06:40] <PhrostyB> yeah
[06:40]  * rabidweezle gets out of X to test
[06:40] <PhrostyB> the mint menu is a lot nicer i think.. have you seen the new one gleb?
[06:40] <ganeshran> noisewaterphd, hmm do you know any workaround?
[06:40] <zacstone> Mohan_chml:  last version i installed with windows xp had no problem
[06:40] <zacstone> Mohan_chml:  it was pretty much simple.
[06:41] <glebihan> PhrostyB: btw, I'll have to give mint a test some day
[06:41] <Mohan_chml> zacstone: you installed inside windows?
[06:41] <denisubuntu> windows 7 is better
[06:41] <xangua> !ot
[06:41] <glebihan> s/test/try
[06:41] <tech-mike> sup peeps - ive got a grub2 issue...between my 2 internal hard drives, i boot between XP Pro, 7 x64, and Ubuntu x64 ...one of my recent updates had killed my xp booting
[06:41] <Mohan_chml> denisubuntu: lol read what he said :P
[06:41] <zacstone> Mohan_chml: no i booted it up
[06:41] <zacstone> Mohan_chml: with live cd
[06:41] <noisewaterphd> ganeshran: there are also tools to convert your real windows drive/partition to a virtual machine, but I have also never gotten it to work
[06:41] <zacstone> Mohan_chml:  should i delete partition or what?
[06:41] <geist> histo: acpi=off seems to do it
[06:41] <PhrostyB> i'll show you real quick glebihan
[06:41] <geist> new kernel booted up just fine
[06:42] <zacstone> Mohan_chml:  i don't see anywhere to set it as root in this gparted program
[06:42] <ganeshran> If not mounting, is it possible to share drives between guest ubuntu and host windows?
[06:42] <PhrostyB> the new kernel is out?
[06:42] <Mohan_chml> zacstone: Okay. now try using the advanced partitioning tool to mention the "Mount as" as "/"
[06:42] <denisubuntu> mohan are you stipd?
[06:42] <denisubuntu> lol
[06:42] <Mohan_chml> Bah!
[06:42] <zacstone> Mohan_chml:  where's advanced partition tool?
[06:42] <axisys> what is a good qrcode generator? i want to convert an url to qrcode.. so I dont have to type the whole thing on my cell
[06:42] <awanti> i want to login in single user mode. How can i?
[06:42] <noisewaterphd> ganeshran: virtualbox, and vmware are both supposed to be able to do both of those things, si I ould try your luck first, and then worry about it if it doesnt work for you
[06:42] <glebihan> PhrostyB: latest in the repo is 2.6.35-22
[06:43] <denisubuntu> respect opinion
[06:43] <PhrostyB> oh ok
[06:43] <Mohan_chml> zacstone: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MYwQlV-zazA/TIB5NVFZL8I/AAAAAAAAAws/dKHfcWG0Nqk/s1600/maverik_intall2.png
[06:43] <denisubuntu> mohan  respect people
[06:43] <rww> denisubuntu: please adjust your attitude until it doesn't involve saying people are stupid and that things suck. Thanks.
[06:43] <zacstone> Mohan_chml:  problem is that i cannot get into this screen!
[06:43] <cowsaysmoo> time for a few reboots, lets see what taking out a partition or two does
[06:44] <tech-mike> ...any help with grub2 ??
[06:44] <Ryen> !grub2 | tech-mike
[06:44] <poena> "sudo apt-get atd-adj ++nice"
[06:44] <poena> lol?
[06:44] <Mohan_chml> zacstone: and your hard disk partitions are not mounting?
[06:44] <Noctis_Lux> Hi.
[06:44] <Jordan_U> tech-mike: What happenes when you try to boot XP?
[06:44] <PhrostyB> glebihan, check it out bro!!!
[06:44] <PhrostyB> http://www.linuxmint.com/blog/?p=1534
[06:44] <jimisrvrox> hey guys got a good question...using PLoP I extracted VectorLinux from its ISO using Unetbootin so restart from USB and get nothing but a black screen/white cursor..why is it that the distro isnt starting? Ive got the usb partitioned as ext4 filesystem
[06:44] <PhrostyB> how cool is that?
[06:44] <Mohan_chml> denisubuntu: you found fault with me somewhere?
[06:44] <FloodBot2> PhrostyB: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:45] <Ryen> !ot
[06:45] <awanti> hi,  in my Ubuntu machine i want to login as a single user mode.. so any one tell me plz.
[06:45] <histo> geist: yeap problem with power management or power supply usually explains random lockups
[06:45] <tech-mike> it boots win 7 - which isnt even on the same hard drive as xp
[06:45] <zacstone> Mohan_chml:  should i delete both ext3 and linux-swap ?
[06:45] <geist> histo: well, just as i say that it seems to have failed a second boot with acpi=off
[06:45] <histo> lol
[06:45] <geist> doesn't mean it's not a hardware problem, just may be stressed out by the new kernel
[06:45] <histo> geist: figures
[06:45] <glebihan> PhrostyB: yeah already read that, really looks good, just  never tried so far
[06:45] <zacstone> Mohan_chml: ?
[06:46] <histo> geist: file a bug maybe?
[06:46] <PhrostyB> ah
[06:46] <PhrostyB> you gotta try it
[06:46] <PhrostyB> it's like ubuntu on steroids
[06:46] <geist> well, if i had something to file with, i would
[06:46] <Mohan_chml> zacstone: try deleting ext 3 partition and mount it as /
[06:46] <denisubuntu> mohan you do not respect my opinion on itunes
[06:46] <PhrostyB> except it's not stupid and pointless like ultimate edition haha
[06:46] <poena> denis i don't respect it either
[06:46] <poena> fyi
[06:46] <geist> heck, id fix it if i had the inclination. done a bit of linux kernel hackery professionally (though mostly in arch/arm)
[06:46] <Ryen> !ot | PhrostyB
[06:46] <PhrostyB> it's not off topic... mint is an ubuntu derivative
[06:47] <denisubuntu> itunes is better .. i am sorry
[06:47] <geist> trouble is when it doesn't work it just doesn't work. basically wedges
[06:47] <PhrostyB> it uses ubuntu upstream components and repos
[06:47] <Jordan_U> !mint | PhrostyB
[06:47] <KB1JWQ> !mint | PhrostyB
[06:47] <rww> PhrostyB: Linux Mint is offtopic for #ubuntu.
[06:47] <Mohan_chml> denisubuntu: Ah..! sorry if you felt wrong
[06:47] <xQuasar> Hi all. I recently just installed ubuntu 10.10 - in the OS selection screen upon booting up the computer, how do you change the order of the OSs?
[06:47] <xangua> if you like itunes you can test yout luck and try to run it with wine
[06:47] <PhrostyB> i disagree lol
[06:47] <zacstone> Mohan_chml:  its deleted.. the unmount is greyed out
[06:47] <histo> PhrostyB: mint may have their own channel have you checked?
[06:47] <PhrostyB> yea i'm on the mint channel too
[06:47] <rww> PhrostyB: Unfortunately for you, you're wrong.
[06:47] <xangua> histo: it has
[06:47] <denisubuntu> xangua not work
[06:47] <PhrostyB> rww: i think you're wrong
[06:47] <histo> xangua: its garbage with wine
[06:48] <PhrostyB> it's clearly relevant.. when the components are interchangable.. you can use mint tools in ubuntu
[06:48] <rww> PhrostyB: Pray tell, why does the channel's factoid bot have factoids saying that Linux Mint isn't supported here, then?
[06:48] <Jordan_U> PhrostyB: Ubottu is never wrong :)
[06:48] <PhrostyB> rww: clearly the channel bot factoid isn't factual
[06:48] <awanti> how can i boot the Ubuntu machine in single user mode..
[06:48] <shutyaev> hi everyone. i have intel 5150 wimax/wifi adapter. in windows i had a program from my wimax provider (yota) that allowed to switch between wimax and wifi mode. how can i do this in ubuntu
[06:48] <PhrostyB> i guess i just "pray told" you huh ;)
[06:48] <rww> Mint would be a lot more attractive if their users were less trollish.
[06:48] <denisubuntu> wine  sucks
[06:48] <PhrostyB> the only troll present is using the nick rww
[06:48] <Mohan_chml> zacstone: now add the partition as ext 3 and set it as "/" and are you in the installation or Gparted?
[06:49] <zacstone> gparted
[06:49] <glebihan> denisubuntu: you've already been told to drop that attitude....
[06:49] <PhrostyB> and you should recognize that the OS being attractive is irrespective of how the users behave...
[06:49] <zacstone> oh fuck i deleted windows 7 by accident
[06:49] <Jordan_U> !pm | tech-mike
[06:49] <zacstone> :(
[06:49] <Ryen> !language | zacstone
[06:49] <PhrostyB> zacstone, look on the bright side!
[06:49] <zacstone> Mohan_chml: i accident deleted windows 7
[06:49] <tensorpudding> zacstone: using gparted?
[06:49] <denisubuntu> is true wine is realm bad
[06:49] <luftikuss> man update-dlocatedb: "update-dlocatedb generates a plain text package contents listing dlocate from the files /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list ." I do not understand this sentence: What does update-dlocatedb generate?
[06:49] <zacstone> tensorpudding:  yes
[06:50] <nobarking> hi everyone
[06:50] <tensorpudding> zacstone: did you actually run it?
[06:50] <Mohan_chml> zacstone: no worries, just quit before you save as you deleted in Gparted
[06:50] <rww> luftikuss: a file containing the contents of packages, which is in a plain-text (as opposed to binary) format
[06:50] <nobarking> does Ubuntu music store support OGG/FLAC?
[06:50] <tensorpudding> zacstone: i mean, did you hit the Apply All Operations button?
[06:50] <zacstone> tensorpudding:  i think so :(
[06:51] <luftikuss> rww: ty
[06:51] <geist> hexedit ftw!
[06:51] <allen_> Turrning Swap off wont be bad, right?
[06:51] <zacstone> Mohan_chml:  i guess i gotta install windows 7 again and then get back in here again
[06:51] <zacstone> :(
[06:51] <geist> allen_: not terribly so, but you should probably run with it if you can
[06:51] <tensorpudding> allen_: your machine might crash under heavy load
[06:51] <bcbc2> zacstone: testdisk will recover it
[06:51] <di3gopa> hi everyone, i am getting this error when i try to run my update-manager, any ideas?? -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/511414/ thanks :D
[06:51] <geist> you can create a swap file in a fs if you ran out of partitions
[06:51] <zacstone> bcbc2 how?
[06:51] <zacstone> bcbc2:  how?
[06:52] <bcbc2> zacstone: hold on i'll get you a link
[06:52] <zacstone> bcbc2:  great
[06:52] <allen_> ok, im only doing it to partition like ya'll said, then turning it back on. just wanted to make sure, thanks
[06:52] <PhrostyB> i finally found synaptic yay
[06:52] <geist> yeah, it's not fatal to turn it off for a while
[06:52] <glebihan> di3gopa: try reinstalling update-manager
[06:52] <xangua> nobarking: the store is not actually ubuntu's or canonical's; the store (wich i don't remember the name :S ) offers only mp3 files
[06:52] <Mohan_chml> zacstone: you quitted Gparted before you apply changes right?
[06:52] <di3gopa> glebihan, ok, sure ill try, thanks :)
[06:52] <bcbc2> zacstone: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Step_By_Step
[06:53] <zacstone> Mohan_chml:  no i pressed aplly aready
[06:53] <allen_> I don't remember partitioning taking so long :/
[06:53] <glebihan> di3gopa: let me know if it works
[06:53] <nobarking> xangua: thank you for the information
[06:53] <Mohan_chml> ah...!

[06:53] <zacstone> i'll be back :-/
[06:54] <zacstone> like in 15 min
[06:54] <zacstone> don't worry, my windows 7 is still fresh
[06:54] <shutyaev> hi everyone. i have intel 5150 wimax/wifi adapter. in windows i had a program from my wimax provider (yota) that allowed to switch between wimax and wifi mode. how can i do this in ubuntu
[06:54] <bcbc2> zacstone: testdisk takes like 10 seconds to recover it
[06:54] <Mohan_chml> Okay. I will go for now and get back soon too
[06:54] <zacstone> on dosms or linux?
[06:54] <PhrostyB> removing indictor-me now glebihan
[06:54] <denisubuntu> zacstone i too for software but i don't like windows
[06:54] <PhrostyB> k it's removed but everything is still up there
[06:54] <denisubuntu> they are true pirates
[06:55] <zacstone> oh i'll just be right back.
[06:55] <ganeshran> ok shared folders are available. but is it possible to actually mount a host os drive from a drive on the vm?
[06:56] <bytesaber> the docs regarding Ubuntu and Raid are all about installing.
[06:56] <PhrostyB> glebihan, you said indicator-me right?
[06:56] <bytesaber> I just want to make a raid.   Anyone know where to find a doc for ubuntu on making a raid?
[06:56] <glebihan> PhrostyB: it wasn't me, but yes I think that's what was mentioned
[06:57] <geist> bytesaber: any docs on mdadm should work
[06:57] <bytesaber> mdadm installed.   not mkraid command
[06:57] <bytesaber> no mkraid command available
[06:57] <denisubuntu> Windows has improved this is true w7..sincerely
[06:57] <glebihan> !ot | denisubuntu
[06:57] <bytesaber> figuring the linux software raid is too old or i'm lost
[06:57] <geist> mdadm --create /dev/md0 --raid-level=5 <devices>, etc
[06:57] <geist> actually wikipedia has a pretty good page on mdadm
[06:58] <geist> it gives a bunch of good examples
[06:58] <bytesaber> geist, ok
[06:58] <geist> be careful though, you can hose yourself pretty easily
[06:58] <Wraith_> this Ubuntu 10.10 is very good
[06:58] <bytesaber> geist example of hosingmyself?
[06:58] <tonyyarusso> bytesaber: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID
[06:59] <bytesaber> tonyyarusso, that's for installing
[06:59] <Wraith_> but GnomeDo don't have a Docky style ;c
[06:59] <geist> building it on a partition that you dont want to screw up
[06:59] <bytesaber> geist, ya it's extra disc installed on the side
[06:59] <PhrostyB> darn
[06:59] <PhrostyB> anyone know how to remove the email icon in the system tray but keep the volume icon?
[06:59] <denisubuntu> a question ..which is better browser?
[06:59] <xangua> Wraith_: yes, it does
[07:00] <xangua> !better | denisubuntu
[07:00] <geist> bytesaber: the Disk Utility can also create partiions and raid volumes graphically as well
[07:00] <bytesaber> geist, gparted (booted with live cd) apparently doesn't know how
[07:01] <geist> it doesn't
[07:01] <geist> it just does partitions
[07:01] <bytesaber> from live i did an apt-get to get mdadm
[07:01] <geist> what about disk utility?
[07:01] <bytesaber> figure i can still make the dang arrary with the desktop live cd
[07:01] <geist> it isn't too bad
[07:01] <bytesaber> haven't tried
[07:01] <oraci> hi... a little help please ... I have a problem when configuring autologin in ubuntu alternate 10.04.1 ... install in console mode ... and after reviewing a manual install mingetty ... and the next step is to edit the tty1 file that would have to be in /etc/event.d/ ... but not found folder /etc/event.d/ and obviously noy found file tty1
[07:01] <bytesaber> apt-get install diskutility?
[07:01] <geist> its usually in the Administration menu
[07:01] <bytesaber> oh that thing
[07:01] <geist> no idea if its default on a live cd though
[07:01] <bytesaber> i'll give it a gander.
[07:02] <bytesaber> i'm guessing now
[07:02] <bytesaber> no
[07:02] <rww> it's on the LiveCD
[07:02] <bytesaber> i'll go look
[07:02] <shutyaev> hi everyone. i have intel 5150 wimax/wifi adapter. in windows i had a program from my wimax provider (yota) that allowed to switch between wimax and wifi mode. how can i do this in ubuntu
[07:02] <FloodBot2> bytesaber: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:02] <bytesaber> wtf?
[07:02] <rww> I used it the other day to check SMART on a broken computer :)
[07:02] <bytesaber> enter as puncuation?
[07:02] <geist> you got dissed by a bot!
[07:02] <allen_> lol
[07:02] <bytesaber> indeed i did!
[07:03] <geist> you're first against the wall when skynet goes live
[07:03] <bytesaber> bbl, gonna go back to the raid boxen
[07:03] <allen_> haha
[07:03] <allen_> that was so nerdy geist
[07:03] <bytesaber> all my base are belong to skynet
[07:03] <allen_> or was it nerdy that I got it?
[07:04] <mrandrzejak> need help! please :) pressed ctrl + alt + f5 during a full screen game. then rebooted from terminal. upon reboot, my panels dont work
[07:04] <almoxarife> I was wondering why nautilus would give a filetype as 'unknow' while the terminal command 'file' is able to give the file type, in this case it's a video file
[07:04] <xangua> mrandrzejak: tried alt+f2 > gnome-panel > enter ¿
[07:04] <bytesaber> mdadm assume i made a partition of type "fd" on each device i'm including?
[07:04] <mrandrzejak> alt f2 doesnt work
[07:05] <mrandrzejak> im getting two error messages
[07:05] <geist> bytesaber: yeah
[07:05] <xangua> control+alt+T mrandrzejak
[07:05] <mrandrzejak> ctrl alt t works
[07:05] <mrandrzejak> im getting two error messages
[07:05] <glebihan> PhrostyB: I may have a solution, lemme test something, I'll get back to you
[07:05] <PhrostyB> ok
[07:05] <mrandrzejak> "the panel encountered a problem while loading"
[07:05] <PhrostyB> hey glebihan i think i found a solution to the two panel problem
[07:06] <geist> bytesaber: well, actually i dont think the kernel cares what the partition type is. it scans at boot for all members of a raid and assembles it for you
[07:06] <geist> but it makes sense to put them on a 0xfd partition
[07:06] <PhrostyB> until i figure out how to use mint tools in ubuntu... you can add custom gnome menu... which only has the icon and no text
[07:06] <bytesaber> ok
[07:06] <PhrostyB> it's a condensed version of the menu
[07:06] <mrandrzejak> "OAFIID:gnome-applet-ectrayApplet"
[07:06] <PhrostyB> then move everything else to the bottom
[07:06] <xangua> !panels
[07:06] <xangua> mrandrzejak: no idea, try then to restore it
[07:06] <geist> also /proc/mdstat is your friend. you can see what the current status is at any time
[07:06] <mrandrzejak> also... "OAFIID:gnome-applet-ecmenuApplet"
[07:07] <laeg> !webmin
[07:07] <bytesaber> geist,  four discs, all same size.  if desiring a raid5 is that 3 active 1 spare?   4 active 0 spare?
[07:07] <di3gopa> glebihan, i uninstalled the update-manager, and the package is not on my repositories, getting a 404 but if try to change the repository i get the same error as the update-manager haha
[07:07] <laeg> !ebox
[07:07] <geist> 4 active 0 spare
[07:07] <bytesaber> geist, am i corret to assume 4 active 0 space allows 1 fail, just no convient automatic spares avail and gives me maximum space?
[07:07] <geist> bytesaber: a spare is a standby, kicks in when one of the other one fails
[07:07] <geist> correct
[07:07] <bytesaber> k
[07:08] <bytesaber> piece o cake
[07:08] <shutyaev> hi everyone. i have intel 5150 wimax/wifi adapter. in windows i had a program from my wimax provider (yota) that allowed to switch between wimax and wifi mode. how can i do this in ubuntu?
[07:08] <geist> i have a 4 piece raid5 here too, works great
[07:08] <chilli0> Hello, On google chrome I use to be able to type in youtube in the url bar and then press TAB and I could search from within the url. Anyone know when this was removed from google chrome? If not where can I ask this question?
[07:08] <bytesaber> geist, do any booting with it?
[07:08] <geist> if you mess with the write-intent bitmap though, i'd recommend setting a relatively large chunk size. the default chunk size really clobbers write performance
[07:08] <meesebyte> Ubuntu is missing installation files from /lib apparently... I md5'd my ubuntu 10.10 netbook edition and used the suggested utility to install ubuntu on it (8gb drive) and I cant boot off of it or install through widows (or even install the cd boot helper)because installation files are missing.
[07:08] <geist> bytesaber: on this server i have 6 disks. 2 disks are raid1 with lvm and root/var/home/etc on it
[07:09] <geist> the other 4 are a raid5 with a lvm on it
[07:09] <PhrostyB> chilli0, probably the chrome forums.. but i think the feature is still there... check the faqs
[07:09] <bytesaber> geist, i don't think performance is a big must here.  it's just a movie file server
[07:09] <glebihan> di3gopa: you don't have update-manager in the repos ??? could you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list file ?
[07:09] <geist> i think grub can now boot from a raid5, but haven't tried that yet
[07:09] <bytesaber> geist, ah lvm.   why the lvm ontop of the raid?
[07:09] <geist> cause it's very handy
[07:09] <geist> i always lvm on top of whatever array
[07:09] <bytesaber> guess i dunno what a lvm's are really all about
[07:10] <geist> think of it as a really fancy partitioner
[07:10] <geist> where you can resize, delete, create new ones, etc without moving any of the others around
[07:10] <bytesaber> extra things to get your finger tips onto for moving stuff around?
[07:10] <rww> LVM <3
[07:10] <Sickler> i downloaded the xubuntu-wallpapers and my ubuntu appearance wallpaper tab isnt picking them up
[07:10] <geist> bytesaber: sure. also you can move volumes around between disks
[07:10] <bytesaber> nifty
[07:10] <geist> i did that a few days ago. pvmove ftw
[07:10] <di3gopa> glebihan, i do have the update-manager, but it is not found on the server i am using: http://paste.ubuntu.com/511442/
[07:11] <geist> it's handy. pvadd new disk to existing lvm vggroup. pvmove, remove the old drive from the vggroup
[07:11] <geist> and you can do it live, pretty dope
[07:12] <Sickler> anyone........
[07:12] <PhrostyB> hey glebihan can i show you a screenshot?
[07:12] <glebihan> PhrostyB: sure

[07:13] <Edward_Elric> is great!!

[07:14] <absolute> 10.10 is pretty amazing
[07:14] <PhrostyB> you like the screenshot?
[07:14] <glebihan> PhrostyB: yep nice :)
[07:15] <PhrostyB> i solved the two panel problem :D
[07:15] <meesebyte> Ubuntu is missing installation files from /lib apparently... I md5'd my ubuntu 10.10 netbook edition and used the suggested utility to install ubuntu on it (8gb drive) and I cant boot off of it or install through widows (or even install the cd boot helper)because installation files are missing.
[07:15] <absolute> oh yea, looks really clean
[07:15] <meesebyte> and md5sum is correct
[07:15] <absolute> how do you switch the maximize/minimize/close buttons to the right side?
[07:16] <zacstone> okay I'm back now
[07:16] <denisubuntu> meesebyte  i recommended ubuntu 10.10 ¡386 for netbooks
[07:16] <zacstone> just finished installed windows 7 again
[07:16] <allen_> 22 seconds!
[07:16] <PhrostyB> absolute, you have to go to gconf-editor
[07:16] <meesebyte> denisubuntu: it is i386
[07:17] <absolute> edit that in terminal?
[07:17] <Jordan_U> !controls | absolute
[07:17] <meesebyte> ubuntu 10.10 netbook i386
[07:17] <PhrostyB> edit that?
[07:17] <zacstone> anybody remember the guy who i was talking to?
[07:17] <PhrostyB> open gconf-editor
[07:17] <denisubuntu> yes amd64 sucks
[07:17] <Sickler> i downloaded the xubuntu-wallpapers and my ubuntu appearance wallpaper tab isnt picking them up
[07:17] <denisubuntu> i386 architecture
[07:18] <allen_> zacstone, mohan?
[07:18] <zacstone> oh yesh
[07:18] <zacstone> Mohan_chml:  i had to install windows 7 again
[07:18] <absolute> awesome, thanks guys
[07:18] <Pr3nt1c3> I've been trying to figure out why my front-audio ports might not be picked up by pulse.
[07:18] <meesebyte> denisubuntu: Okay, its i386 now how do I fix my problem
[07:19] <glebihan> denisubuntu: once again, stop that
[07:19] <Pr3nt1c3> unfortunately, there are some rather distinct differences btw U9, and u10.
[07:19] <di3gopa> glebihan, no luck, same error
[07:19] <Wraith_> how to set to show sound icon in tray?
[07:19] <zacstone> Monona: its working!
[07:19] <PhrostyB> np
[07:19] <sometux> Would anyone mention the games he/she has played on Ubuntu? I will start by myself (Penumbra trilogy, World of Goo, Half-Life2 (wine))
[07:19] <Pr3nt1c3> Should I stick with pulse, or switch to alsa?
[07:19] <blakkheim> alsa
[07:20] <glebihan> di3gopa: you mean you installed it and it didn't work, or you didn't get to install it ?
[07:20] <allen_> Evony
[07:20] <zacstone> Mohan_chml:  i think its workings, it just asked me to do it automatic
[07:20] <glebihan> !ot | sometux
[07:20] <di3gopa> glebihan, i did installed and it didn't work
[07:22] <mrandrzejak> ok i fixed my panels in safe mode, but after going back into the regular desktop, i continue to get those gnome-panel errors
[07:22] <Randy_C> How do I remove an old nVidia OEM video driver.  I got fed up with the compatibility issues with the Riva TNT card and replaced it a radeon unit.

[07:23] <mrandrzejak> ive lost functionality of ALT +  F2
[07:25] <Wraith_> how to set to show sound icon in tray?
[07:26] <glebihan> di3gopa: try running "gtk-update-icon-cache --force"
[07:26] <denisubuntu> i like ubuntu 10.10
[07:26] <shutyaev> hi everyone. i have intel 5150 wimax/wifi adapter. in windows i had a program from my wimax provider (yota) that allowed to switch between wimax and wifi mode. how can i do this in ubuntu?
[07:27] <glebihan> di3gopa: use sudo
[07:27] <toonacid> Quick question. Regarding root login. It's disabled by default. At one point I enabled it, but realizing it's insecure, I disabled it by using "passwd -l root", which seems to work, I SSH'd for root, and entering nothing doesn't work, and entering anything in the world doesn't work. My question is, does passwd -l ACTUALLY disable passworded logins for a user, and is it secure, seeing as I used it for the root user.
[07:27] <denisubuntu> gledihan u tried freebsd?
[07:27] <Wraith_> bb
[07:28] <asmartgoat> hi everyone, wireless stopped working in ubuntu, the icon went off the notification area how can i get it back?

[07:28] <glebihan> toonacid: yes this really disables it and is secure
[07:29] <toonacid> glebihan: Great. I just needed to make sure. :)
[07:29] <zacstone> that's weird it didn't work before and now it works?

[07:30] <Sandking> hi
[07:30] <asmartgoat> let me try that
[07:31] <Andorin> My wireless card, which has worked fine since 9.04, appears to be having trouble in 10.10... it's not seeing my home wireless network. I think my card is an Atheros AR5007EG card. What do I do?
[07:31] <pooltable> I want to get docky to wk how to ?
[07:31] <Andorin> (also, this is a sporadic issue, meaning sometimes it happens and sometimes not)
[07:31] <vivek_40> hi has anyone used the multi touch features of unity. If yes, Coulc someone please tell me how good or bad it is. I have ran out of bandwidth and can use some sort of feedback before going ahead and downloading it..
[07:31] <asmartgoat> nope doesnt work, just dupes my battery mail etc.
[07:31] <pooltable> work
[07:31] <glebihan> di3gopa: still there ?
[07:31] <Sandking> how to save configs/mails/notes of the user? i was said that copying home folder should be enough but i see that it isn't - i don't have my tomboy notes :/
[07:32] <tonyyarusso> Sandking: then you didn't copy the entire home folder.  They were there.
[07:32] <bytesaber> geist, hmm i told mdadm to created a level 5 with the 4 discs i listed after devices.
[07:32] <bytesaber> geist, mdadm --details /dev/md0 says 3 active with 1 spare
[07:32] <denisubuntu> ask me people
[07:32] <glebihan> Sandking: tomboy notes are stored in ~/.tomboy

[07:32] <pooltable> I want to get docky to work how to ?

[07:33] <jtrip_> hi there, I just got 10.10 netbook edition installed on my hp-210, does any one else have any experience with unity/mutter?
[07:33] <vivek_40> pooltable:what is the problem in getting docky to work .. sorry i had got dc
[07:33] <Andorin> Uh... hang on... I just ran 'sudo lshw -C network' and it does not say my wireless is disabled... yet I still can't see the network?
[07:34] <asmartgoat> is there anyway to reset gnome to default
[07:34] <glebihan> !anyone | jtrip_
[07:34] <denisubuntu> resources virtualbox sucks
[07:34] <pooltable> i install it sti not working what do i need to do vivek 40?
[07:34] <glebihan> denisubuntu: stop that now!
[07:34] <vivek_40> pooltable:how did you install it...
[07:34] <poena> 10.10 install error on asus 900a netbook Error #1 using FUSB install: http://paste.ubuntu.com/511401/, Error #2 using pendrivelinux: http://paste.ubuntu.com/511403/ (hangs)
[07:34] <denisubuntu> glebihan i am sorry
[07:35] <glebihan> denisubuntu: no you're not, you've been told about 10 times...
[07:35] <vivek_40> pooltable:through software centre and are you using maverick?
[07:35] <denisubuntu> ok
[07:35] <lucent> poena: sad face :(
[07:35] <asmartgoat> Does anyone know the name of the wireless applet so i can reinstall it using apt-get?
[07:35] <pooltable> Docky is in the Software Center, and you can install it by clicking this link.
[07:35] <poena> ja :(
[07:35] <jtrip_> is there anyway to configure the dock/side bar in the netbook remix? I can remove apps from there but I can't get the apps that I want to stay or rearrange them
[07:35] <vivek_40> pooltable: are you using maverick
[07:35] <pooltable> 10.10 yes
[07:35] <bluefrog> glebihan, Sandking tomboy notes are in .local/share/tomboy
[07:35] <lucent> poena: does your md5sum match with the ISO ?
[07:36] <poena> vivek: nope
[07:36] <poena> yes
[07:36] <vivek_40> pooltable:what is the error you are getting
[07:36] <glebihan> asmartgoat: nm-applet
[07:36] <poena> downloaded ISO twice just to be sure
[07:36] <thter> i edited my /etc/default/grub file and want to get it back to normal. does anyone know this?
[07:36] <asmartgoat> ty
[07:36] <thter> i edited my /etc/default/grub file and want to get it back to normal. does anyone know how to do this?
[07:36] <lucent> poena: downloading twice does not make any difference, you need to check md5sums to be sure.
[07:36] <i_is_broke> how long is the lts for?
[07:36] <glebihan> bluefrog: well must depend on "I don't know what", mine are in ~/.tomboy
[07:36] <i_is_broke> isnt it like 4 years
[07:36] <poena> yes i did check
[07:37] <glebihan> i_is_broke: 3 years for desktop edition, 5 for server
[07:37] <thter> hello?
[07:37] <pooltable> just not work to get it started?
[07:37] <Sandking> and what about sys config? where is it stored?
[07:37] <vivek_40> as far as I know poena: the error happens when you burn it on the cd
[07:37] <poena> i have it on flash
[07:37] <hDy> i tried to enable canoical partners in Ubutu Software Center and now its been updating for the past hour.. saying "Updating cache, Waiting for synaptic to exit."
[07:37] <Sandking> [good i figured that saving synaptic marks saved me a lot :) ]
[07:37] <lucent> poena: the other trick is, does your computer have BIOS settings?  There are some settings which may be important to make a difference
[07:37] <i_is_broke> glebihan: and the difference is?
[07:37] <bluefrog> glebihan, they have changed places since one or 2 ubuntu version
[07:37] <poena> Yup i can edit the BIOS
[07:37] <poena> what should I tinker with
[07:37] <denisubuntu> gledihan and gento:) 0 years
[07:37] <tensorpudding> Sandking: system configuration files are unfortunately stored in a lot of places, most of which under /etc
[07:37] <vivek_40> pooltable: try opening docky through the terminal
[07:37] <lucent> poena: also, does your flash storage have a partitioning or is it just the block device?
[07:38] <poena> its the block device, its a simple sd card
[07:38] <poena> i dont have partitions on it
[07:38] <lucent> poena: try again with partitioning :)
[07:38] <rhett_> Hi so I just bought my first ubuntu one music
[07:38] <rhett_> i bought an album
[07:38] <rhett_> and it says transferred to ubuntu 1
[07:38] <rhett_> i just want to download it
[07:38] <thter> i edited my /etc/default/grub file and want to get it back to normal. does anyone know how to do this?
[07:38] <glebihan> i_is_broke: desktop edition is the version for most users, which comes with a desktop environment (gnome, kde, xfce...), server edition is a text-only edition dedicated to servers
[07:38] <pooltable> vivek still new how do i do that ?
[07:38] <lucent> poena: I'm using microSD in a USB reader and it works with msdos disk label and a single primary partition
[07:38] <vivek_40> sd card poena: i am doubtful if it will work... but yes if lucent: says so, you should try
[07:38] <poena> perhaps you can clarify partion? I mean its formatted in fat32 then the ISO is built onto it
[07:39] <rhett_> how do I download from my ubuntu one storage?
[07:39] <poena> *partition
[07:39] <Sandking> tensorpudding: so is there a way to backup my system so it would be implemented into fresh install of new os version?
[07:39] <lucent> poena: I mean /dev/sda1   not /dev/sda
[07:39] <i_is_broke> glebihan: thanks
[07:39] <asmartgoat> oh, poo apparently nm-applet isnt in the repos and its not on my system any ideas?
[07:39] <i_is_broke> i cant handle typing that much..lol
[07:39] <glebihan> bluefrog: weird, I have exactly the same files in both folders...
[07:39] <lucent> if there is only /dev/sda, then you must write over the device with a msdos disklabel and partition
[07:39] <glebihan> i_is_broke: you're welcome
[07:39] <denisubuntu> glebihan  server is single for experts
[07:40] <KB1JWQ> Eh, not really. It's for people who want CLI only.
[07:40] <KB1JWQ> No expert level knowledge required. :-)
[07:40] <i_is_broke> denisubuntu: or not for the lazy.lmfao
[07:40] <lucent> Sandking: google search around for 'duplicity' is a great program to make backups with Ubuntu
[07:40] <thter> i edited my /etc/default/grub file and want to get it back to normal. does anyone know how to do this?
[07:40] <lucent> there's a tutorial how to make a backup and restore
[07:40] <poena> lucent im not sure I understand. Under win7 i format and use a USB boot builder (FUSB and pendrivelinux) to build it
[07:40] <poena> it should just be the single partition
[07:41] <Andorin> My wireless card, which has worked fine since 9.04, appears to be having trouble in 10.10... sometimes it doesn't see my home network It's an Atheros AR5001 card. What could have changed from Lucid to Maverick to actually break support for a wireless card?
[07:41] <lucent> poena: oh, well... I'm confused also.
[07:41] <poena> meh
[07:41] <poena> :(
[07:41] <lucent> "no partition" means you're using it as a single block device containing a filesystem
[07:41] <Gregory> hi. i have a major problem using Ubuntu on my laptop with legacy ATI Radeon x1200 graphics chipset. Within 10 minutes of using the desktop (even without desktop effects set to None) the screen becomes completely garbled and requires a restart. Does anyone here have a solution?
[07:41] <Gregory> without = with*
[07:41] <vivek_40> poena: lucent: wont it be much easier not to use a sd card but a USB
[07:41] <bluefrog> glebihan, not weird. a copy  of the files have been made for consistency
[07:41] <Sandking> lucent: thx
[07:42] <rhett_> does anyone know how to get music i bought from unbuntu one?
[07:42] <denisubuntu> drivers ati solution
[07:42] <glebihan> bluefrog: the weird thing is that both keep getting updated
[07:42] <rhett_> it won't download in rythmbox
[07:42] <poena> hmm ok let me try this
[07:42] <Gregory> denis? are you talking to me?
[07:42] <poena> i've been building using the SD card slot in my laptop
[07:42] <poena> i have a USB adapter for SD card
[07:42] <lucent> rhett_: I think it shows up in your "cloud" storage, so it would be accessed from Nautilus file manager (-the- file manager)
[07:42] <poena> will using that make a difference, or could it?
[07:42] <denisubuntu> yes gregory
[07:42] <qkumbers> For some reason I cannot find the libmodplug02c package in maverick. It is neither in 32bit or 64bit. I spoke with someone using the same platform but ch instead of us sources and he was able to see the package
[07:42] <vivek_40> pooltable: how is your docky now
[07:42] <qkumbers> also http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/packages/show/250726 says it should be there
[07:43] <qkumbers> all i see is libmodplug1 not libmodplug0c2
[07:43] <lucent> qkumbers: which Ubuntu?
[07:43] <bluefrog> glebihan, because you come from an old version. if you do a fresh install they will be only in one place .loca/share
[07:43] <Gregory> can u please elaborate on what is the ati driver solution? I am using a legacy card - Radeon x1200
[07:43] <vivek_40> anyway bye guys
[07:43] <rubydiamond> hi guys..
[07:43] <qkumbers> lucent: 10.10
[07:43] <rhett_> lucent, how do I add ubuntu one in nautilus?
[07:43] <rubydiamond> my USB is not working..
[07:43] <pooltable> vivek i am new not sure what to type ?
[07:43] <rubydiamond> how to I see if there is USB hardware support enabled or not?
[07:43] <glebihan> bluefrog: you must be right, haven't done a fresh install since intrepid
[07:43] <deryl> woohoo! 10.10 desktop amd64 dvd worked perfectly
[07:44] <qkumbers> the only difference i can see is that he was using the desktop and i'm using minimal install
[07:44] <lucent> rhett_: I think it's integrated as part of Ubuntu 10.10; don't you have Ubuntu 10.10?
[07:44] <qkumbers> but our sources were identical besides ch versus us
[07:44] <bluefrog> glebihan, I figured that out
[07:44] <rhett_> no :(
[07:44] <lucent> rubydiamond: usually in 'dmesg' command output there is a note about USB
[07:44] <rhett_> 10.04 i think
[07:44] <lucent> rhett_: if you are willing, upgrade to 10.10 and then I think this will work much better for you
[07:45] <denisubuntu> is basic gregory  u search drives ati in autor page
[07:45] <rhett_> bahhh
[07:45] <rhett_> i just want the album i just bought :(
[07:45] <rhett_> i will upgrade later
[07:45] <Gregory> does anyone have as solution to the Radeon x1200 screen corruption issue without desktop effects on and using stock ubuntu 10.10?
[07:45] <lucent> yeah, that's why improvements are added and 10.10 is released, to make Ubuntu One more accessible
[07:45] <rhett_> well
[07:45] <asmartgoat> ok, no i've figured it out
[07:45] <rhett_> can I get it now somehow?
[07:45] <lucent> it's one of the key points of improvements
[07:46] <asmartgoat> I have no notification area, it wont let me put it back. can someone help me
[07:46] <asmartgoat> ?
[07:46] <glebihan> thter: you can find a sample basic /etc/default/grub file there : http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/grub-2.html#mozTocId706228
[07:46] <rhett_> ok lucent, i just don't want to mess up my setup or take hours to upgarde right now
[07:46] <leling> hello,eveyone
[07:46] <rhett_> i can do that later
[07:46] <lucent> rhett_: yeah, I don't know how you'd do it with 10.04 LTS
[07:46] <rubydiamond> lucent: how to find if my USB port is faulty or not
[07:46] <rhett_> :(
[07:46] <rhett_> i bought an album
[07:46] <rubydiamond> dmesg prints lots of lines
[07:46] <rhett_> with real dollars
[07:46] <rhett_> and it won't let me get it
[07:46] <denisubuntu> gregory  you aren't very smart...
[07:46] <Gregory> ty denisubuntu. maybe you can help
[07:47] <rubydiamond> lucent: see this http://pastie.org/1214784
[07:47] <glebihan> !ops | denisubuntu repeatedly ignoring guidelines
[07:47] <leling> How everyone feel the Ubuntu 10.10?
[07:47] <lucent> rubydiamond: okay
[07:47] <i_is_broke> rubydiamond: try lsusb
[07:47] <rubydiamond> lucent: does that mean my USB device working fine
[07:47] <denisubuntu> gregory u need ati drivers for 3d  acceleration !
[07:48] <Gregory> i am not asking for 3d acceleration. i am asking for a stable desktop
[07:48] <lucent> rubydiamond: those lines say the driver is loaded, but nothing of the device being configured
[07:48] <poena> trying to install 10.10 makes me feel as though linux in general still has a long way to go
[07:48] <chus225> hi all
[07:48] <leling> What you are talking with?Can I help you?
[07:48] <pider55> Installed 10.10. yesterday and I cannot start up firefox, no messages when I start firefox in terminal either
[07:48] <poena> granted its light years ahead of how it was 10 years ago
[07:48] <Noctis_Lux> 08:46:45 <denisubuntu> gregory  you aren't very smart... << we don't need to  be smart, our phones are.
[07:48] <poena> why don't you just boot this guy for being a d*ck
[07:49] <denisubuntu> :)
[07:49] <deryl> denisubuntu ~ troll somewhere else
[07:49] <asmartgoat> !manners | denisubuntu
[07:49] <rubydiamond> i_is_broke: lsusb does not print anything..
[07:49] <maco> denisubuntu: please be respectful. insulting people is not respectful.
[07:49] <Gregory> I see no proprietary drivers listed/ needed.
[07:49] <denisubuntu> ok,i am sorry
[07:50] <Gregory> apology accepted denisubuntu
[07:50] <maco> poena: and you watch your language
[07:50] <poena> uh right
[07:50] <lucent> rubydiamond: maybe your USB is disabled in BIOS or it is broken hardware?  Does it work in some manufacturer supported OS ?
[07:50] <poena> understood
[07:50] <deryl> Behaviour of Bosonic Quantum Membranes
[07:50] <deryl> grrr. sorry
[07:51] <Gregory> my screen gets completely corrupted when using simple things like browsing within 10-20 minutes of use
[07:51] <qkumbers> so am i just loosing my mind? is there another way to find a package that seems missing?
[07:51] <lucent> deryl: that your '80s hair metal cover band name?  Niiiice. ;)
[07:51] <PhrostyB> 'hey glebihan thanks for your help broham. YOU DA MAN
[07:51] <deryl> hah!

[07:51] <denisubuntu> I need something more about your problem,gregory.
[07:51] <KB1JWQ> !upgrade | Moopz
[07:52] <Moopz> Thank you
[07:52] <Gregory> i have looked at google for a solution before coming here but the ubuntuforums have no answer
[07:52] <KB1JWQ> Yup.
[07:52] <i_is_broke> moopz just uncheck the lts only box
[07:52] <mathk> Yop
[07:52] <PhrostyB> once i learn ubuntu i'm going to help people too.. although i'm still unsure of whiich to use permanently (gnome mint, debian mint, or gnome ubuntu)
[07:52] <pooltable> CairoDock just install it is there a way to mre it ?
[07:52] <glebihan> Moopz: check if you've set "Show new distribution releases" to "normal releases" in software sources
[07:52] <pooltable> move
[07:53] <asmartgoat> hi, i cant enable indicator applet, im not a noob, but it just wont enable? can someone please help?
[07:53] <poena> OK tried again on USB adapter w/ SD card rather than via SD slot, same error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/511401/
[07:53] <qkumbers> can anyone please tell me if 'apt-cache search libmodplug02c' on maverick returns anything???
[07:53] <Gregory> they mention that my card is no longer supported by AMD/ATI because with the latest X.org X11 changes
[07:53] <leling> Gregory:What's the matter with you...
[07:53] <ganeshran> PhrostyB, Try gnome ubuntu its the simplest and has no learning curve at all
[07:53] <Gregory> leling: my desktop screen becomes unusable
[07:53] <asmartgoat> !botsnack
[07:53] <mathk> Does anyone know how to tell gnome do to rebuild his index ?
[07:53] <blastodon> yeah I hate KDE i'm a gnome fan
[07:54] <PhrostyB> that's what i'm on now ganeshran.. have you tried mint though?
[07:54] <Gregory> I am on a ATI x1200 graphics chipset
[07:54] <lucent> poena: see privmsg :)
[07:54] <pooltable> never mind got it
[07:54] <rhett_> it says "transferring to my ubuntu one storage"
[07:54] <ganeshran> PhrostyB, I havent tried it. I tried KDE but it reminded me too much of windows, so reverted back to gnome
[07:54] <qkumbers> is anyone running maverick from a fresh install?
[07:54] <PhrostyB> give either mint 9 gnome or debian mint a shot... you'll like it i think :]
[07:54] <krambiorix> hi guys
[07:54] <leling> Gregory:What?Detail?
[07:55] <rhett_> i can download the files one at a time from the web
[07:55] <bytesaber> how do you tell mdadm to make 4 active 0 spare?   it keeps making 3 active 1 spare
[07:55] <PhrostyB> qkumbers, yeah
[07:55] <deryl> Please ask SICCO questions :) Specific, Informative, Concise, Complete, and On-Topic. This means we need a description of the problem, it's symptoms, ect ect. Without this information, we can not assist you since we can not troubleshoot a problem if we have no info regarding what it should be doing and is not.
[07:55] <denisubuntu> yes qkmubers me
[07:55] <rhett_> can I not just download a folder?
[07:55] <krambiorix> i installed sbackup and made a backup to /var/backup but the backupfile is only 4K ??
[07:55] <Noctis_Lux> qkumbers, I am, but on netbook edition
[07:55] <denisubuntu> i too
[07:55] <qkumbers> can you guys please run 'apt-cache search libmodplug0c2' for me and let me know if it returns anything
[07:55] <PhrostyB> sure
[07:55] <deryl> i am but on the kubuntu release
[07:55] <glebihan> qkumbers: nope
[07:56] <glebihan> qkumbers: I mean, nothing shown
[07:56] <krambiorix> does anyone have an idea why the backup file is only 4K?
[07:56] <denisubuntu> deskop kde i don't like is better gnoime
[07:56] <PhrostyB> yea nothin
[07:56] <denisubuntu> or xfce
[07:56] <deryl> yeah nothing here
[07:56] <leling> I have install the Ubuntu 10.04 with a USB,And Have no question
[07:56] <bastidrazor> krambiorix: you sure that isn't just a directory?
[07:56] <Gregory> leling: well I have ubuntu 10.10, boot to desktop, open any app like firefox .. within 10-20 mins the screen starts becoming corrupt to a point where the desktop is unusable, necessitating a reboot. My laptop is 1 year old and runs fine on other MS OS
[07:56] <qkumbers> odd, someone else said it did and i'm getting nothing either. this is nuts cause it's supposed to be there http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/packages/show/250726
[07:56] <Sickler> is there a way to extract a .png or something of a panel to use in another theme
[07:57] <deryl> denisubuntu ~ tough. run what you want, I'll run what I want, they'll run what they want. end of story
[07:57] <glebihan> qkumbers: however, there is libmodplug1
[07:57] <PhrostyB> probably
[07:57] <Sickler> meaning use the "new wave" panel color for a different theme
[07:57] <krambiorix> bastidrazor, aaaah yes :D
[07:57] <krambiorix> sorry
[07:57] <Gregory> leling: i even tried disableing desktop effects.. no difference
[07:57] <goodboy> * goodboy
[07:57] <bastidrazor> krambiorix: heh, we all learn bit by bit.
[07:57] <qkumbers> glebihan: yeah that's what i see too, but xbmc requires libmodplug0c2
[07:58] <Gregory> leling: do you need more details than this?
[07:58] <leling> Gregory:That must be a strange questioon,The desktop was disappear?
[07:58] <glebihan> qkumbers: you can get it there : https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/maverick/+package/libmodplug0c2
[07:59] <krambiorix> bastidrazor, hmm my files.tgz is 56GB, my flash drive is only 8GB. Can i zip the files or wouldn't that be safe
[07:59] <Gregory> leling: no become corrupt. patches of white start to spread on the entire desktop... covering whatever is on screen
[07:59] <denisubuntu> deryl is a opinion..
[07:59] <Jordan_U> krambiorix: the ".gz" at the end of the file name means it's already compressed.
[07:59] <sanduz2> can someone tell me why everyone recommends gmplayer? how exactly is it better than the default Movie Player included with Ubuntu (and yes i accepted the third party codecs and stuff at install)?
[07:59] <Gregory> i can switch to console .. i.e without X and everything is fine. i get back .. garbled
[07:59] <krambiorix> yeah but maybe i can compress the whole directory again?
[08:00] <denisubuntu> really works well ubuntu 10.10
[08:00] <Jordan_U> sanduz2: Not everyone recommends gmplayer.
[08:00] <qkumbers> glebihan: that's funny, i literaly just found that page, thanks!
[08:00] <raevol> hello! how do i get grandr to remember my dual head setup across logins?
[08:00] <jtrip_> I have an hp-210 and I can't seem to produce a contextual menue (right click) I even enabled the hold primary button to emulate it and I can only get it to work sporadically, have there been any reported track pad driver issues?
[08:00] <glebihan> qkumbers: you're welcome :)
[08:00] <sanduz2> i always see it recommended as the video player to install. what do you recommend Jordan?
[08:00] <sanduz2> Jordan_U *
[08:00] <Jordan_U> !best | sanduz2
[08:01] <leling> Gregory:It means that Console was useable,And the X was unuseable?
[08:01] <shawncm217> I installed 10.10. Everything was fine under 10.04. I now have problems with my mouse not being able to click. Are others having this issue? Are there any solutions?
[08:01] <goltoof_> any particular reason why an archive will show a file as 56.6 mb when it's only 2mb?
[08:01] <sanduz2> yea but i asked what you recommend since you dont seem to agree with recommending mplayer, Jordan_U
[08:01] <Gregory> leling: yes
[08:01] <pooltable> looking for a PC-Engine / TurboGrafx-16 emulator

[08:02] <krzysztof_> hello i got a question - friend of mine was installing ubuntu 10.04, and he had choose wrong install option and overwirted all of his data - is there any tool to recover it?
[08:02] <grommit> rhett_: do you not have an Ubuntu One folder under your home folder?
[08:02] <leling> Gregory:The nautilus was crashed?
[08:03] <Gregory> leling: i do not use nautilus
[08:03] <chus225> anybdy can help me to apply a patch in ubuntu????
[08:03] <goltoof_> it gets all scrambled, as well as text errors
[08:03] <pooltable> looking for a PC-Engine / TurboGrafx-16 emulator
[08:03] <glebihan> !details | stiltzkin
[08:03] <Jordan_U> krambiorix: "photorec" may be able to recover some of it, but don't expect it all to be recoverable.
[08:03] <hoare> guys I upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10. I'm using "top" and it says TERM is not set. I manually export TERM=linux and it works? why it happens?
[08:03] <greenmang0> !country mirrors
[08:03] <Gregory> leling: I have tested with firefox window. not tried opening nautalis
[08:03] <greenmang0> where can i get a list of ubuntu country mirrors?
[08:03] <hoare> + my vim got broken. it is the old vim and creates A , B chars when I press arrow keys. any ideas?
[08:04] <Gregory> leling: even closing all apps does not make desktop clear
[08:04] <stiltzkin> specifically, when selecting "Sharing Options" in Nautilus and attempting to share a folder, Nautilus segfaults with nautilus[1309]: segfault at 3c00000 ip 04381e39 sp bf86a668 error 4 in libc-2.12.1.so[4311000+157000]. I'm running 10.10, 2.6.35-22
[08:04] <Jordan_U> greenmang0: System > Administration > Software Sources
[08:04] <Gregory> leling: a reboot is my only option
[08:04] <Gregory> leling: or using lynx in console .. which is not very nice
[08:04] <Blue1> here;s a good lesson -- do NOT install 64 bit flash for FF.  you end up with both the 32 bit flash and 64 bit flash installed, and ff gets wonky.
[08:04] <stiltzkin> I don't know what causes this but I assume it has something to do with samba, smbd, apache2, or all of the above
[08:04] <leling> Gregory:Have you installed the Nvidia or ATI driver?
[08:04] <denisubuntu> gregory is better thunar is fast
[08:04] <Sickler> is there a way to extract a .png or something of a panel to use in another theme meaning take the panel background or "new wave" and create my own custom theme
[08:05] <hoare> 10.10 is interesting. in a "man" command, after pressing "q" man still appears instead of previous lines of the shell.. how can I fix it?
[08:05] <Blue1> will 10.10 ever have support for nvidia legacy devices?
[08:05] <hoare> it all got broken with 10.10 upgrade!
[08:05] <stiltzkin> ubottu, get all that?
[08:05] <Gregory> leling: I have everything on stock. and since my graphics chipset is old .. it is serviced by the open source radeon driver
[08:05] <hoare> nice, nobody cares.
[08:05] <Jordan_U> hoare: What terminal emulator are you using?
[08:05] <hoare> Jordan_U: using guake with bash.
[08:05] <Jordan_U> !patience | hoare
[08:05] <Gregory> leling: ubuntu does not list anything in the proprietary driver applet
[08:06] <denisubuntu> terminal emulator xfce terminal is the best
[08:06] <tensorpudding> hoare: are you sure you're using less?
[08:06] <dizzie> Morning all, wheres the coffee?
[08:06] <Jordan_U> hoare: See if you can reproduce the problem with gnome-terminal / xterm.
[08:06] <stiltzkin> I can provide pastes of any commands you like, or any information you might need...I'm just curious as to what causes this. And it's quite frustrating as all I'm trying to do is share a folder
[08:06] <hoare> tensorpudding: I was using 10.04 and when pressing "q" in man screen, it was disappearing, now it just creates a new prompt line below and man screen still appears
[08:06] <lunks> I have a Cisco VPN which, as soon as I connect, routes all my network connection to it. Given I know its IP address range, submask, etc. how can I change the routes on Network Manager so it routes only what I want?
[08:07] <carlossalazarven> goodnight pure English spoken
[08:07]  * glebihan sends a cup of coffee to dizzie
[08:07] <hoare> Jordan_U: reproduces
[08:07] <thter> do you have to have the kernel on the hard disk at all times for ubuntu to run properly, or do you just need it attached to the system when it's starting up and shutting down?
[08:07] <tensorpudding> hoare: what does the bar at the bottom of the screeen read when you use man?
[08:07] <denisubuntu> xterm i don't like bur xterm ligth
[08:07] <hoare> tensorpudding: you mean the prompt line?
[08:07] <tensorpudding> hoare: no
[08:07] <kk9822> hi pl tell me how to make a purticular internet site tursted pl
[08:07] <Jordan_U> hoare: With gnome-terminal or with xterm?
[08:08] <hoare> Jordan_U: xterm
[08:08] <tensorpudding> hoare: when you have man open, there should be a highlighted line at the bottom
[08:08] <thter> let me reword that
[08:08] <poena> you can't make a site tursted
[08:08] <kk9822> so that it opens x terminal
[08:08] <znh> Hello
[08:08] <stiltzkin> Once again, it's a bug in Nautilus that causes it to segfault when dealing with Samba shares. Haven't found a bug filed for it yet
[08:08] <hoare> tensorpudding: manual page ls (1)
[08:08] <leling> Gregory:Sorry,I think I couldn't help you
[08:08] <poena> the site itself decides if its tursted or non-tursted
[08:08] <thter> do you have to have /boot on the hard disk at all times for ubuntu to run properly, or do you just need it attached to the system when it's starting up and shutting down?
[08:08] <znh> I'd like to try the new ubuntu version, Synaptic doesn't notify me about the new release though. Is there anything I need to do?
[08:08] <momentum> what laptop shoudl I get and put a ssd in to get as close as possible to an instant on ubuntu?
[08:09] <denisubuntu> for samba shared is better nautilus
[08:09] <hoare> strange things happened on upgrade. :(
[08:09] <tensorpudding> hoare: okay, that is odd then
[08:09] <leling> Gregory:It is very strange
[08:09] <Jordan_U> znh: Use System > Administration > Update Manger, not Synaptic.
[08:09] <poena> momentum i dont think you're going to get that close
[08:09] <Gregory> leling: i know and it makes ubuntu unusable
[08:09] <Sickler> is there a way to extract a .png or something of a panel to use in another theme meaning take the panel background or "new wave" and create my own custom theme
[08:09] <oraci> hi... a little help please ... I have a problem when configuring autologin in ubuntu alternate 10.04.1 ... install in console mode ... and after reviewing a manual install mingetty ... and the next step is to edit the tty1 file that would have to be in /etc/event.d/ ... but not found folder /etc/event.d/ and obviously noy found file tty1
[08:09] <stiltzkin> poena, good question. from what I understand it only needs to be present at boot. in fact some people like to place their boot partition on removable media like thumb drives, especially if they have encrypted hard drives
[08:09] <poena> "instant-on" is an OS essentially built into the CMOS
[08:09] <dizzie> So java uses 711mb mem, even after i closed the webpage 1 hour ago :S
[08:09] <Gregory> leling: or rather X unusable
[08:10] <kk9822> ok then how to allow active x terminal active or not to block
[08:10] <i_is_broke> znh: and make sure that you undo the setting for long term at the bottom
[08:10] <MattLinux> sup everyone
[08:10] <hoare> there was another vim package, other than default one... what was its name? it was better and was not inserting letters on arrow keys?
[08:10] <thter> do you have to have /boot on the hard disk at all times for ubuntu to run properly, or do you just need it attached to the system when it's starting up and shutting down?
[08:10] <stiltzkin> er, sorry about that, meant to answer thter
[08:10] <leling> Gregory:Maybe you can change another X
[08:10] <poena> heh ok i was confused and re-reading my own chat
[08:10] <MattLinux> i got a question? when will ubuntu 10.10 be available to upgrade if your on 10.4 like example: sudo apt-get upgrade
[08:11] <Jordan_U> thter: Only when you're starting up or upgrading packages, though it's probably best to keep it always mounted unless you have a compelling reason not to.
[08:11] <denisubuntu> dizzie java use much memory is a suicide :)
[08:11] <greppy> !upgrade
[08:11] <i_is_broke> MattLinux: try update-manager -d
[08:11] <dizzie> MattLinux, try sudo update-manager -d
[08:11] <Mohan_chml> MattLinux: Maverick is available now
[08:11] <Jordan_U> i_is_broke: -d is not needed now that it's released
[08:11] <Jordan_U> !gksudo | dizzie
[08:12] <stiltzkin> anyone with any insight into my nautilus segfault?
[08:12] <thter> Jordan_U, what kind of compelling reasons?
[08:12] <i_is_broke> Jordan_U: it might if he hasnt unchecked the lts thing
[08:12] <dizzie> Jordan_U, i prefer using bash, but thanks :)
[08:12] <Jordan_U> dizzie: And it's not required to run update-manager as root anyway (it will ask for your password when needed).
[08:12] <znh> Jordan_U, thanks, that did the trick
[08:12] <Gregory> leling: what do u mean change X?
[08:12] <hoare> missed my old terminal
[08:12] <hoare> :/
[08:12] <MattLinux> heh i tried this 2 hours ago and nothing lol must of put it up sometime today
[08:12] <Jordan_U> dizzie: Read the factoid from ubottu, and please don't recommend sudo with graphical apps again.
[08:12] <Jordan_U> znh: You're welcome.
[08:13] <dizzie> Jordan_U, point taken :)
[08:13] <hoare> btw when I do not manually write export TERM=linux, it says WARNING: terminal is not fully functional.
[08:13] <hoare> any ideas?
[08:13] <Jordan_U> thter: I have no idea, what compelled you to ask the question in the first place? :)
[08:13] <Gregory> Jordan_U: i have learn't that the hard way
[08:13] <spork_boy> ok. upgraded to 10.10... seems fine, then hangs on a coloured sxreen
[08:13] <Gregory> learnt*
[08:13] <leling> Gregory:I mean you can change another desktop environment
[08:14] <Gregory> leling: but that would mean loosing my current X with all the apps?
[08:14] <Gregory> leling: every 20 mins or so?
[08:14] <spork_boy> possibly on waiting for x server
[08:14] <Gregory> leling: i even tried KDE. same problem
[08:14] <stiltzkin> thter, as I was saying, one compelling reason might be if you have an encrypted filesystem (/, /home, swap, etc) and want to keep your disk completely encrypted (as /boot has to be unencrypted). So you might put your /boot on a removable ironkey to be extra safe
[08:14] <pooltable> mednafen how to get it to work?
[08:14] <momentum> how fast can one get ubuntu light to boot up with ssd drives?
[08:14] <leling> Gregory:Oh,sorry,can't help you
[08:15] <zacstone> why is my refresh stuck at 60hz?
[08:15] <zacstone> i have 120hz acer lcd monitor!
[08:15] <Gregory> leling: ty. you were better than the other guy atleast
[08:15] <overrider> i have a line in my passwd file nicola:x:0:0::/root:/bin/sh , but i dont remember adding the user nicola. any ideas?
[08:15] <pooltable> hugo how to get it to work?
[08:15] <leling> Gregory:You're welcome
[08:16] <Gregory> Anybody else have any ideas or do i just drop usung ubuntu?
[08:16] <stiltzkin> overrider, that sounds awfully suspicious...does the user exist? try "who is nicola"
[08:17] <Gregory> is there a support channel for maintainers of the open source radeon drivers? maybe they will acknowledge the problem?
[08:17] <momentum> does ubuntu netbook edition has access to the same apt-get packages  as ubuntu desktop?
[08:17] <gie>  plasa.com 6667
[08:17] <zacstone> somebody would help me, tell me why my desktop won't go move than 60hz??
[08:17] <Jordan_U> momentum: Yes.
[08:17] <momentum> Jordan_U: okay; so it has a much faster bootup time; why would I want ubuntu desktop if i'm using a laptop?
[08:17] <jetienne> iso download is like 20 or 40k/s .... quite slow ...
[08:18] <jtrip_> is there anyway to configure mutter?
[08:18] <stiltzkin> zacstone, I'm not really certain, but it sounds like your display didn't get detected correctly. What kind of video card do you have?
[08:18] <gie> ass
[08:18] <Jordan_U> momentum: Because the netbook interface is optimized for small screens and is somewhat awkward on a full resolution desktop.
[08:18] <zacstone> stiltzkin: i have nvidia 9800GT
[08:18] <zacstone> stiltzkin: and ACER 120hz LCD monitor
[08:18] <gie> asss
[08:19] <momentum> Jordan_U: what if you just drop the interface and use fvwm or xmonad ?
[08:19] <stiltzkin> zacstone, and do you have the appropriate hardware drivers installed for that card?
[08:19] <zacstone> stiltzkin: i mean ASUS 120hz monitor, not ACER one
[08:19] <Jordan_U> momentum: Then what'
[08:19] <zacstone> stiltzkin: i think so..
[08:19] <Jordan_U> momentum: Then what's the point of installing Ubuntu Desktop or Netbook?
[08:19] <momentum> Jordan_U: instant on if you're using SSSD
[08:19] <zacstone> stiltzkin: it said nvidia deriver version 260.19.06
[08:20] <zacstone> stiltzkin: is it too early one?
[08:20] <stiltzkin> zacstone, go to system -> administration -> hardware drivers and make sure that the NVIDIA driver is listed
[08:20] <denisubuntu> zacstone you want to burn the retinal...
[08:20] <Jordan_U> momentum: The only difference between Ubuntu versions is the set of default apps, there is no special sauce in netbook remix to make it boot faster.
[08:20] <Jordan_U> !minimal | momentum
[08:20] <bastidrazor> momentum: wouldn't suspend do the same? you actually shutdown your laptop?
[08:20] <zacstone> stiltzkin: there is no "hardware drivers" in there
[08:20] <momentum> bastidrazor: suspend failed on me once + fried a screen; me no trust suspend
[08:20] <zacstone> stiltzkin: just addition drivers
[08:21] <Gregory> Jordan_U; does the minimal cd include a partition editor like gparted?
[08:21] <stiltzkin> zacstone, yeah that's the one. different versions have different names for it
[08:21] <bastidrazor> momentum: suspend fried a monitor? that is impossible..
[08:21] <Jordan_U> Gregory: As part of the installer, yes.
[08:21] <zacstone> stiltzkin: it said driver is actived and currently in use
[08:22] <zacstone> stiltzkin: but why i'm stuck on 60hz? my old ubuntu install went 120hz just fine
[08:22] <momentum> bastidrazor: suspend, close laptop; put in backpack; suspend didn't relaly happen; machine overheats ...
[08:22] <pisi> cdrom-s and usb disks don't auto mount (and /dev looks strange) after upgrading to 10.10 with apt-get dist-upgrade (ad a do-release-upgrade failed once and failed to find a new release after it had changed sources.list to maverick)
[08:22] <bastidrazor> momentum: sounds more like a user error not suspend issue.
[08:22] <pisi> ideas? udev related? apt-get --reinstall udev did not help at least.
[08:22] <stiltzkin> zacstone, IIRC the issue is that Ubuntu's Display app doesn't know how to control the refresh rate on the binary blob NVIDIA driver, so you just have to change the setting in the NVIDIA config
[08:23] <momentum> bastidrazor: well, that never happened in osx; only in ubuntu
[08:23] <stiltzkin> zacstone, for example, a related bug is this one: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20/+bug/92599
[08:23] <zacstone> stiltzkin: why why...
[08:23] <zacstone> stiltzkin: it works perfect on me
[08:23] <spork_boy> guys? i basically have no computer after upfrading. help!
[08:24] <stiltzkin> zacstone, do you have the nvidia-xconfig package installed?
[08:24] <LinSteveH> Anyone know where 10.4 stores the data that was referenced by grub, so you know which kernel gets booted??
[08:24] <kennethsime> momentum: most computers still have problems with suspend/hibernate. While some have been able to tweak Ubuntu to get it to work perfectly, many have not. I just flat-out don't use it. I'll lock screen, and the screen will go black, but suspend/hibernate? Not worth it. Just shut down. Ubuntu boots fast enough it doesn't really matter.
[08:24] <stiltzkin> zacstone, you should
[08:24] <zacstone> stiltzkin: getting it
[08:25] <momentum> kennethsime: how do you get ubuntu to boot so fast? for me it's ~20-30 seconds
[08:25] <AbhiJit>  !details | spork_boy
[08:25] <stiltzkin> zacstone, it should have been installed when that driver got activated I think. But it's been over a year since I owned an NVIDIA card
[08:25] <denisubuntu> zacstone ubuntu you do for your health haha
[08:25] <kennethsime> momentum: are you running on a macbook? you mentioned OSX
[08:25] <AbhiJit> !grub2 | LinSteveH
[08:25] <pisi> momentum: buy a good motherboard and a decent SSD disk and boot is really enjoyable.
[08:26] <momentum> this is for a laptop
[08:26] <pisi> !udev
[08:26] <znh> any modern computer will boot up ubuntu blazing fast
[08:26] <overrider> ok it really seems someone logged into my unpatched 10.4 machine somehow, and added a user called nicola with uid 0
[08:26] <zacstone> stiltzkin: i don't see it in software center, google?
[08:26] <spork_boy> 10.10. when i turn it on, i get a black screen. i expected it to continue working.
[08:26] <kennethsime> momentum: what version of ubuntu are you using, on what kind of laptop?
[08:27] <stiltzkin> zacstone, open up a terminal window (applications -> accessories -> terminal)
[08:27] <momentum> kennethsime: ubuntnu 10.04; macbook pro
[08:27] <LinSteveH> AbhiJitand & ubottu, tnx!!
[08:27] <znh> overrider, check which connections are open to see where's the hole
[08:27] <zacstone> stiltzkin: go ahead
[08:27] <kennethsime> momentum: are you using refit?
[08:27] <carlossalazarven> alguien en español
[08:27] <Flannel> !es | carlossalazarven
[08:28] <momentum> kennethsime: yeah; what else would I use?
[08:28] <stiltzkin> zacstone, type "apt-cache search nvidia-xconfig" (without quotes) and tell me what you get
[08:28] <kennethsime> momentum: are you running a hybrid mbr/guid partition table?
[08:28] <momentum> kennethsime: most likely; not certain; i used bootcamp to create a windows parittion; then installed linux on it
[08:28] <zacstone> stiltzkin: i got nothing..  i copied and pasted
[08:28] <zacstone> stiltzkin: pressed enter = nothing.
[08:29] <kennethsime> momentum: you may find this thread helpful. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9754161
[08:29] <spork_boy> failsafe x works.
[08:29] <stiltzkin> zacstone, ok I was afraid of that. what happens if you just type nvidia-xconfig and press enter
[08:29] <momentum> kennethsime: thanks for diggint it up
[08:30] <stiltzkin> zacstone, ahhhhhh I see now, they changed the name of the package. Try typing nvidia-settings instead
[08:30] <zacstone> stiltzkin: "Using X configuration file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf".  VALIDATION ERROR: Data incomplete in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.                   Undefined Device "(null)" referenced by Screen "Default                   Screen".   ERROR: Unable to write to directory '/etc/X11'. "
[08:30] <kennethsime> momentum: does refit take 20-30 seconds to show up, or are you talking about after you've selected Ubuntu, and started grub?
[08:30] <momentum> kennethsime: refit is slow
[08:30] <stiltzkin> zacstone, oh that's not so good...means your xorg.conf is kinda shot
[08:31] <momentum> kennethsime: any last advice before I reboot into mac to bless refit ?
[08:31] <zacstone> stiltzkin: oh, now what?
[08:31] <zacstone> stiltzkin: what about install other older driver?
[08:31] <kennethsime> momentum: I'd bet it's not about it's not about what's blessed, I'd bet you have overlapping partition tables and need to remedy that
[08:32] <stiltzkin> zacstone, well you need to do what's called a xorg reconfiguration...how old is your install? Might be faster to reinstall and try again
[08:32] <momentum> kennethsime: overlapping partition tables? that sounds bad
[08:32] <zacstone> oh i just installed ubuntu 10.10 20 min ago
[08:32] <TomRIOT> Hello
[08:32] <kennethsime> momentum: it's not as bad as it sounds. Read that thread, and if it sounds similar to the problem you have, then what worked for me will probably work for you
[08:32] <zacstone> stiltzkin: now its on dual boot with windows 7
[08:33] <kennethsime> momentum: it is a common problem when people use bootcamp and follow that tutorial on how to dual-boot ubuntu on macbooks
[08:33] <stiltzkin> zacstone, ok. well in that case how did you get to this particular point? You installed, then I assume enabled the latest NVIDIA driver, and then what
[08:33] <zacstone> then went straight to setting to turn it up to 120hz and 1080p
[08:34] <stiltzkin> zacstone, what did you get when you tried nvidia-settings
[08:34] <kennethsime> does anyone do anything special to make grub prettier? Does anyone skip grub? Is there a way to change the resolution of Grub so it's not so distorted? Cleaner?
[08:34] <PhrostyB> i think i'm gonna go back to linux mint debian edition soon :D
[08:34] <momentum> kennethsime: I don't think I have that problem:
[08:34] <PhrostyB> yea there's a way to change grub resolution

[08:34] <zacstone> stiltzkin: it pops up nvidia x server settings
[08:35] <TomRIOT> I have a question, I just installed ubuntu 10.10 on my 4GB flash drive, enjoy having it on the flash drive and do not wish to install it to a computer. I would rather have the mobility of having it installed on a flash drive, is there any way to make that menu at the beginning that's asking me if I want to try or install go away? It takes so long after I click try every time
[08:35] <stiltzkin> zacstone, oh ok well at least that works. try changing your refresh rate there instead
[08:35] <kennethsime> momentum: nope, that looks pretty darn good. have you done the "refit partition tool"? It syncs the MBR & GUID partitions. without this, refit may still be slow.
[08:35] <zacstone> stiltzkin: well i changed refresh rates and it still stuck at 60
[08:36] <stiltzkin> zacstone, but it lets you change them in the NVIDIA app to whatever you want?
[08:36] <zacstone> yes.
[08:36] <Noctis_Lux> On Ubuntu Netbook Edition 10.10, where are the configuration for number of... workspace (? "espaces de travail", don't know translation) ?
[08:36] <SaRy> kennethsime: use burg ..
[08:36] <stiltzkin> zacstone, and you're sure it's actually at 60Hz?
[08:36] <zacstone> stiltzkin: i know when it is in 120hz mode..
[08:36] <zacstone> stiltzkin: i checked my monitor info setting it said its still at 60hz
[08:36] <kennethsime> SaRy: burg? googling...
[08:37] <SaRy> You'll find it on omg ubuntu
[08:37] <zacstone> stiltzkin: it even realized my monitor too
[08:37] <skumara> i'm using ubuntu. when i open kget , it does not appear in the panel and only run in memory. how to make it appear in the panel or make it gui appear in desktop?
[08:37] <stiltzkin> zacstone, alright. then at this point I'd reinstall and try selecting the older driver instead. Might be a bug with the latest version.  Before you reinstall you can try to reconfigure it with "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and following the steps
[08:38] <denissubuntu> hi  i am back
[08:38] <zacstone> stiltzkin: i'll brb

[08:39] <pksadiq> zacstone:  So let me guess?
[08:39] <pksadiq> debora:  What?
[08:39] <zacstone> pksadiq: what?
[08:40] <debora> Nie ma tu nikogo w polskojęzycznego?
[08:40] <sunny1> Quick question, what's the command to show sound in task bar?
[08:40] <pksadiq> zacstone:  let me try to fix your problem?
[08:40] <stiltzkin> sunny1, you mean to show the sound applet, or to control sound on the commandline
[08:40] <SaRy> kennethsime: Grub animated , or burg animated theme .. Something like that as I remember.
[08:40] <sunny1> stiltzkin: Sound applet
[08:40] <zacstone> pksadiq: i'm rolling drivers back, or you have better suggest?
[08:40] <rww> !pl | debora
[08:41] <sunny1> It doesn't seem to appear in "Add to Panel" list
[08:41] <pksadiq> are you trying to install nvidia drivers?
[08:41] <debora> Właśnie tam nie moge tego rozwiązać.

[08:41] <pksadiq> zacstone:  k
[08:41] <stiltzkin> sunny1, ummm....not sure. I thought it was indicator-applet but apparently not. It doesn't show up in the Add to Panel box?
[08:41] <denissubuntu> who has macbook?
[08:42] <denissubuntu> apple are artists
[08:42] <pksadiq> zacstone:  Do what you are doing and come back if errors
[08:42] <Giles> I accidentally uninstalled the default theme in maverick what is the package called so I can re-install it?
[08:42] <stiltzkin> sunny1, keep in mind it is called "Indicator Applet" in the selection box now, and not "Volume Control," which might be confusing
[08:42] <sunny1> stiltzkin: Yea oddly not, had trouble in 10.04, upgraded today still have trouble
[08:42] <rctgamer3> Any way to reset ubuntu without a ubuntu cd but with access to the partition (ext2fsd, nothing appears though)?
[08:42] <TomRIOT> Giles: ambience
[08:43] <sunny1> stiltzkin: That's it..Thanks!
[08:43] <ubuntunewb> hi to add an entry in mycomputer for a mounted drive
[08:43] <stiltzkin> sunny1, np. they should have been clearer about what that does
[08:43] <Jordan_U> rctgamer3: You're going to need to explain the exact situation you're in.
[08:43] <Giles> TomRIOT: E: Unable to locate package ambience

[08:44] <stiltzkin> alright I've been here an hour or so...anyone wanna take a shot at my problem with nautilus? I'll give any and all details necessary
[08:44] <zacstone> pksadiq: i don't see older drivers anymore
[08:45] <rctgamer3> I tried to upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10, but halfway through it stopped (hung) and i had to power off, tried to boot ubuntu again, then i got Console: Switching to colour frame buffer device 128x48 in recovery mode, normal mode stays black.
[08:45] <rww> Giles: though if you removed that, you also removed ubuntu-artwork and ubuntu-desktop, and I'd recommend installing one of those instead.
[08:45] <Giles> rww ta
[08:45] <dumont> where can I associate a hostname with IP address like the hosts in windows?
[08:45] <skumara> what is the command to use to reinstall a package or fix installation error of a package?
[08:45] <pksadiq> zacstone:  and so You need Nvidia drivers isn't it?
[08:45] <sunny1> dumont: I think /etc/hosts
[08:45] <rww> dumont: /etc/hosts, same format as the hosts file in Windows (they copied it from UNIX ;)
[08:45] <rctgamer3> dumont, the hosts file in C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
[08:45] <dumont> thx
[08:46] <dumont> got it
[08:46] <Giles> also anyone know what is wrong with this:
[08:46] <Giles> warning, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/available' near line 45636 package 'virtualbox-3.0':
[08:46] <Giles>  error in Version string '3.0.12-54655_Ubuntu_karmic': invalid character in revision number
[08:46] <pksadiq> zacstone:  Can't you install nvidia-current?
[08:46] <Jordan_U> stiltzkin: Filing a bug report may be the fastest way to figure out what's going wrong.
[08:46] <notsonew>  stiltzkin: what problem with nautilus
[08:46] <zacstone> pksadiq: that will change my resolution to 120hz refresh
[08:46] <DaveWM> I'm not able to sync my tomboy notes atm,  even when i login to ubuntu one web and look at notes tab says something has gone wrong,  this is a new maverick install,  anybody know what might be going on ?
[08:46] <rww> Giles: you have Virtualbox installed, I take it?
[08:46] <pksadiq> zacstone:  Do you know to use terminal well?
[08:46] <stiltzkin> Jordan_U, considering, but figured asking here first was a good idea. notsonew: it segfaults when opening the "Sharing Options" pane
[08:47] <zacstone> pksadiq: i'm not too familiar in this area
[08:47] <zacstone> pksadiq: i can follow you, i used to msdos too :/
[08:47] <stiltzkin> notsonew, the traceback is (if helpful): nautilus[1309]: segfault at 3c00000 ip 04381e39 sp bf86a668 error 4 in libc-2.12.1.so[4311000+157000]
[08:47] <Giles> rww: yes, although I had these errors while upgrading to maverick, and it disabled the virtualbox source
[08:47] <pksadiq> zacstone:  k, don't care , install nvidia-current and delete the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[08:47] <mikebeecham> hi there...can anyone tell me a good gmail notifier that will sit in the MeMenu?
[08:48] <rww> Giles: "3.0.12-54655_Ubuntu_karmic" isn't a correctly-formatted version string for a Debian package. Whoever maintains that source made a mistake, basically.
[08:48] <zacstone> pksadiq: which to do first install or delte?
[08:48] <zacstone> pksadiq: delete
[08:48] <pksadiq> first install
[08:48] <stiltzkin> notsonew, and I'm running 10.10, 2.6.35-22, all latest packages installed
[08:48] <TomRIOT_> Giles: Enter cp -R /usr/share/themes/Ambiance ~/.themes/
[08:48] <zacstone> pkay
[08:48] <Giles> rww: I have since put a maverick source in there
[08:48] <pksadiq> zacstone:  first install, then delete,
[08:48] <rww> mikebeecham: gm-notify, https://launchpad.net/gm-notify
[08:49] <zacstone> pksadiq: brb restart
[08:49] <pksadiq> k
[08:49] <pksadiq> zacstone:  k
[08:49] <stiltzkin> :/ alright I guess I'll file a bug report. Kinda frustrated I can't just share one folder without something crashing
[08:49] <Giles> rww: how can I get rid of that reference in available and status?
[08:50] <Giles> rww: can I just delete the offending section
[08:50] <mikebeecham> rww, just tried to download that....
[08:50] <mikebeecham> failed to download, cant find sources
[08:50] <zacstone> pksadiq: why i don't see etc/x11/xorg.conf?
[08:50] <pksadiq> zacstone:  not x11 but X11
[08:50] <rctgamer3> so, any solution?
[08:50] <Giles> zacstone: its not there by default
[08:51] <zacstone> pksadiq: i only see 2 folders in my hard drive
[08:51] <rww> mikebeecham: using Ubuntu 10.10?
[08:51] <mikebeecham> rww, yup
[08:51] <rww> Giles: change the underscores to something else in the file it mentions. Not the best solution, but it works.
[08:51] <pksadiq> zacstone: wait
[08:51] <rww> mikebeecham: install the gm-notify package, it's in Ubuntu's repositories now.
[08:51] <zacstone> pksadiq: yeah
[08:52] <Giles> rww: cheers
[08:52] <mikebeecham> and there was another one I tried to download, but got this message: Dependency is not satisfiable: python-feedparser
[08:52] <mikebeecham> ok
[08:52] <anodesni> Hi, what should I fill in in ccsm for window decoration to get the gtk window borders?
[08:52] <zacstone> pksadiq: i found it
[08:52] <pksadiq> zacstone: cd /etc/X11 what is the result?
[08:52] <mikebeecham> rww, there's nothing in synaptic by that name
[08:52] <pksadiq> zacstone:  k,
[08:53] <zacstone> pksadiq: deleted. should i restart now?
[08:53] <mikebeecham> hmmm....I reloaded synaptic and got this error: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/gm-notify-maintainers/ppa/ubuntu/dists/maverick/main/source/Sources.gz  404  Not Found

[08:53] <mikebeecham> Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
[08:53] <rww> mikebeecham: there is for me on a stock maverick install :\
[08:53] <pksadiq> zacstone:  deleted? after deleting, when you reboot you will gert error message that X is not well configured and you can configure at that time
[08:53] <zacstone> pksadiq: can't delete it
[08:54] <mikebeecham> strange
[08:54] <zacstone> pksadiq: its still there!
[08:54] <uLinux> I'm installing programs and many won't show in Applications Menu?
[08:54] <uLinux> how can I fix this
[08:54] <pksadiq> zacstone:  use sudo mv  /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.back
[08:54] <Giles> rwww: ta thats fixed it
[08:54] <Jordan_U> uLinux: What programs?
[08:54] <zacstone> pksadiq: it works
[08:54] <zacstone> ok reboot?
[08:55] <pksadiq> zacstone:  yes
[08:55] <uLinux> Jordan_U: VirtualBox, sabnzb etc
[08:55] <zacstone> pksadiq: brb
[08:55] <qwebirc16026> Hi ubuntu people , Wireless is not working for me, although iwconfig know there's Wireless card
[08:55] <uLinux> Jordan_U: those shortcuts disappeared
[08:55] <pksadiq> uLinux: System > Preferences > main menu and select
[08:55] <pksadiq> zacstone:  k
[08:55] <wktian> i have upgraded to ubuntu10.10 i fide it is faster .but what is the strong points of ubuntu10.10
[08:56] <uLinux> pksadiq: they are not there
[08:56] <RudyValencia> I love having a local apt cache through approx :)
[08:56] <uLinux> it is suppose after install an app to create a shortcut for it, not manually
[08:57] <mikebeecham> hi guys...I am trying to install something, but get this message: Depends: python-distutils-extra  but it is not installable
[08:57] <mikebeecham> can anyone help with that?
[08:57] <everett> The point of 10.10 is that it is version 10.10
[08:57] <everett> lol
[08:57] <everett> jk ;)
[08:57] <rww> mikebeecham: which package are you trying to install?
[08:57] <pksadiq> mikebeecham:  that means that python-disutils... is not more supported, go to launchpad.net and try to search and install
[08:57] <DaveWM> anybody else having an issue syncing tomboy notes on maverick with ubuntu one atm ?
[08:57] <mikebeecham> rww - the gmail notifier, which I did find in the repos
[08:57] <qwebirc16026> /var/log/messages says , [ 2073.326846] [08:57] <TheoryDesigns> hello
[08:57] <rww> mikebeecham: yes, what's its package name?
[08:58] <zacstone_> pksadiq: hey, i'm back.. screen is different so should i go ahead change driver settings?
[08:58] <pksadiq> uLinux: checked in all submenus?
[08:58] <mikebeecham> it's just named in there as Gmail notifier
[08:58] <pksadiq> zacstone_:  Now install nvidia-settings
[08:58] <mikebeecham> argghhh
[08:58] <TheoryDesigns> someone know how to overclock a nvidia galaxy 240gt 1gb ddr3 video card?
[08:58] <zacstone_> pksadiq: nvidia-settings, wheres that?
[08:58] <mikebeecham> now I've found the package on launchpad, but it  needs compiling
[08:59] <mikebeecham> why cant linux be a little easier on those not linux-based?
[08:59] <rubydiamond> guys.. Hi.. my USB harddrive is not getting detected ...
[08:59] <uLinux> pksadiq: found vbox :P but not the other app
[08:59] <pksadiq> zacstone_:  in terminal type sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings
[08:59] <rubydiamond> when I do lsusb .. it shows up there
[09:00] <zacstone_> pksadiq: done...
[09:00] <rubydiamond> looks like it's corrupted..
[09:00] <rubydiamond> and not showing up on sudo fdisk -l
[09:00] <pksadiq> zacstone_:  now open terminal and type sudo nvidia-settings
[09:00] <pksadiq> uLinux:  what's going on?
[09:01] <zacstone_> pksadiq: You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver.  Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.
[09:01] <uLinux> pksadiq: some shortcuts are not added to the menus
[09:01] <uLinux> or maybe i need to logout
[09:01] <pksadiq> uLinux: then I think , by default it has no shortcuts
[09:02] <pksadiq> zacstone_:  k, type sudo  nvidia-xconfig
[09:02] <rubydiamond> how to format a USB disk drive when it is not showing up in fdisk -l
[09:02] <zacstone_> pksadiq: New X configuration file written to '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'
[09:02] <uLinux> pksadiq: i think the shorcut for that app is added by another program tha works with it :)
[09:02] <uLinux> which i didnt installed
[09:02] <zacstone_> pksadiq: before that was "WARNING: Unable to locate/open X configuration file. "
[09:03] <pksadiq> zacstone_:  But still not completed yet
[09:03] <zacstone_> pksadiq: yeah then now what?
[09:03] <rubydiamond> lucent: you there?
[09:03] <pksadiq> zacstone_:  Now restart your computer, if you can't load GUI again delete /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:03] <rubydiamond> looks like my USB harddrive is corrupted..
[09:03] <pksadiq> zacstone_:  and restart
[09:04] <lucent> rubydiamond: yes ...  oh
[09:04] <zacstone_> pksadiq: okay
[09:04] <zacstone_> pksadiq: brb
[09:04] <pksadiq> zacstone_:  ok
[09:04] <lucent> rubydiamond: privmsg please, I'm divided in my attention :)
[09:04] <AshyIsMe> ok random thing
[09:04] <AshyIsMe> i cant find a download accelerator for linux
[09:04] <AshyIsMe> any ideas?
[09:04] <tonyyarusso> There's no such thing as a download accelerator.
[09:04] <uLinux> yep
[09:04] <pksadiq> AshyIsMe:  gwget
[09:05] <pksadiq> uLinux:  GOT RIGHT?
[09:05] <rww> mikebeecham: Open Software Sources; click the "Other Software" tab, uncheck the gm-notify-maintainers PPA line, click the "Ubuntu Software" tab, make sure "Community-maintained Open Source software (universe)" is checked. Click "Close", update the package cache if it asks you to. Open Synaptic Package Manager, search for "gm-notify", right-click, click Mark for Installation, click Mark, click Apply, click Apply.
[09:05] <uLinux> tonyyarusso: I mean some programs like multiget use 10 connections so it can "speed up" the download speed
[09:05] <rubydiamond> lucent: can you invite me in private chat .. don't know how to do that with weechat
[09:05] <Jordan_U> AshyIsMe: The only way a download can be "accellerated" is by hitting an already overloaded server with more load, and taking more than your fair share of that server's bandwidth from other users.
[09:05] <zacstone> pksadiq: okay i'm back..
[09:06] <AshyIsMe> Jordan_U, yeah, exactly like what windows users do
[09:06] <zacstone> pksadiq: it loads up fine, not funny like last time.. should i go ahead change refresh rates now?
[09:06] <pksadiq> zacstone:  k, now in terminal type sudo nvidia-settings
[09:06] <AshyIsMe> the site doesnt offer a torrent link so i want to max out my connection another way
[09:06] <zacstone> pksadiq: okay
[09:06] <X99> unbuntu10.10 so cool.....:)
[09:06] <rww> AshyIsMe: Firefox + DownThemAll addon
[09:07] <zacstone> pksadiq: it looks good. loaded up the nvidia x server
[09:07] <EagleYS> Hey
[09:07] <Jordan_U> AshyIsMe: Why do you consider your time more valuable than that of others trying to download from the same server?
[09:07] <zacstone> 173.14.28
[09:07] <AshyIsMe> Jordan_U, offer me a torrent link and i'll gladly share my bandwidth with other users
[09:07] <EagleYS> I have a question about upgrading from Ubuntu 9.10 to 10.10
[09:07] <AshyIsMe> offer me only a http download and i'll max my connection using an accelerator
[09:07] <AbhiJit> EagleYS, ask
[09:08] <pksadiq> zacstone:  now select X server Display Configuration, and change resolution
[09:08] <zacstone> okay
[09:08] <paulag> Jordan_U: possibly it is just a site that is deliberately reducing upstream or even worse: his ISP reducing downstream per ip connection.
[09:08] <EagleYS> If I upgrade using the update manager, will it only install to that partition?
[09:08] <zacstone> pksadiq: doing that
[09:08] <Jordan_U> AshyIsMe: That doesn't answer my question :)
[09:08] <EagleYS> Or take up the whole hard drive?
[09:08] <EagleYS> I have the Ubuntu system files on one partition, my docs on another, Windows and the recovery drive on another 2
[09:08] <rww> EagleYS: If you upgrade with update manager, it'll only touch your existing Ubuntu partition(s).
[09:08] <EagleYS> Alright
[09:08] <EagleYS> Thanks :D
[09:08] <rww> EagleYS: so the first partition you just mentioned.
[09:08] <AbhiJit> EagleYS, will install to where your current '/' i.e. root partition is
[09:08] <EagleYS> ok
[09:08] <pksadiq> zacstone:  click apply, if it works, then save, else wait a while,it will be restored
[09:09] <AshyIsMe> Jordan_U, my point is that i dont agree with your analogy
[09:09] <AshyIsMe> i download the same amount of data, just quicker
[09:09] <zacstone> pksadiq: still 60hz at 120hz refresh rate setting
[09:09] <zacstone> pksadiq: siiigh
[09:09] <AshyIsMe> using 10 peoples amount of connections but for 1/10th of the time
[09:09] <Jordan_U> AshyIsMe: I am not making an analogy, I am asking a question which is directly applicable to your situation.
[09:09] <AshyIsMe> plus most windows users would already be using accelerators anyway
[09:09] <rctgamer3> Any way to reset ubuntu without a ubuntu cd (no empty cd's) but with access to the partition (ext2fsd, nothing appears though)? I tried to upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10, but halfway through it stopped (hung) and i had to power off, tried to boot ubuntu again, then i got Console: Switching to colour frame buffer device 128x48 in recovery mode, normal mode stays black.
[09:10] <pksadiq> zacstone:  actually the 120 Mhz is vertical only, select auto that's better
[09:10] <AshyIsMe> so there's no benefit from me refraining from them
[09:10] <zacstone> pksadiq: still 60hz on auto too!
[09:11] <pksadiq> zacstone: so what's the problem with 120 mHz?
[09:11] <zacstone> pksadiq: more msooth mouse movement and better smooth 3d gamign
[09:11] <zacstone> pksadiq: smooth
[09:11] <AshyIsMe> also there are premium services such as rapidshare which support download accelerators being used with their servers
[09:12] <AshyIsMe> so what's a good linux accelator for those services?
[09:12] <AshyIsMe> nm though, i just got flashgot in firefox :)
[09:12] <zacstone> pksadiq: 60hz is too old for me.. i have LCD monitor that can do 120hz and 1920x1080p
[09:12] <pksadiq> zacstone:  SELECT OPENGL settings
[09:12] <EagleYS> alright I'm going to go upgrade, see ya guys
[09:12] <EagleYS> And thanks again
[09:12] <Dushi> is there a PDF to calc convertor/extractor for linux ? please reply me
[09:12] <zacstone> pksadiq: yeah...
[09:12] <Jordan_U> AshyIsMe: Rapidshare knows enough about how to manage a server to be able to throttle on a per ip basis, "support" of download accelerators is just marketing hype.
[09:13] <zacstone> pksadiq: allow flipping off?
[09:13] <rww> Jordan_U: Next time you want to have an ideological discussion, please ask to take it to #ubuntu-offtopic.
[09:13] <pksadiq> zacstone: select image to high
[09:13] <Dushi>  is there a PDF to calc convertor/extractor for linux ? please reply me
[09:14] <zacstone> pksadiq: okay
[09:14] <Jordan_U> rww: Sorry.
[09:14] <zacstone> pksadiq: its high now
[09:14] <zacstone> pksadiq: "high quality"
[09:14] <pksadiq> zacstone: also in X server Display Configuration select Xscreen and see whether you can increase Color Depth
[09:15] <Dushi>  is there a PDF to calc convertor/extractor for linux ? please reply me
[09:16] <pksadiq> zacstone:  anyway if you need to try, it's not recommenced, select Advanced in X server Display Configuration
[09:16] <Marvel> I've just switched my adsl router for a new gigabit one, I have 2 pcs one with windows 7 other with 10.10 maverick and a htpc running xbmc on top of a minimal 10.4 lucid. The 2 pcs are fine all internet speeds are correct, but for some reason my htpc is running at snail pace when using aptitude, or wget things like that. So hopefully some can give me some networking troubleshooting tips for 10.4 headless cos im a bit of noob in that a
[09:16] <pksadiq> zacstone: recommended8
[09:16] <pksadiq> zacstone: recommended*
[09:16] <uLinux> pksadiq: if you play a game at 100fps with 100hz or more is really good
[09:17] <zacstone> pksadiq: i use 120hz because its what monitor supports at 1080p for 120hz
[09:17] <pksadiq> uLinux:  I mean that may cause X problems
[09:17] <zacstone> pksadiq: it works fine on last ubuntu
[09:18] <pksadiq> zacstone:  select advanced and type your-resolution_refresh-rate
[09:21] <zacstone> pksadiq: i typed in 1920x1080_120 then what?
[09:21] <adyb> hi is there a way for gnome to remember window position and size in ubuntu 10.10? thanks
[09:21] <pksadiq> zacstone:  save to X configure
[09:22] <pksadiq> zacstone:  I think it is not working, well, anyway try
[09:22] <ronny> hi
[09:22] <AndChat> mmkay, no display after upgrade. nvidia video. any ideas?
[09:22] <zacstone> pksadiq: saved but now what?
[09:22] <Volodymyr> Hello guys. Does anybody knows how to fetch list of user-installed packages on system? :)
[09:23] <ronny> anything i should take into account when  wanting to put /tmp on a tmpfs?
[09:23] <zacstone> pksadiq:  my monitor is --> http://hothardware.com/Reviews/Asus-VG236-120Hz-LCD-Monitor-Review/
[09:23] <greppy> Volodymyr: 'dpkg --get-selections' will list all packages installed
[09:23] <pksadiq> zacstone:  now in terminal type gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and check weather it is done
[09:24] <Volodymyr> yeap, but I want to see only packages I installed without autoinstalled
[09:24] <zacstone> pksadiq: now it opens up xorg.conf in gedit
[09:24] <i_is_broke> how well does empathy work for voice and video?
[09:24] <pksadiq> zacstone:  in the Screen section see weather _120 is available
[09:25] <Volodymyr> There should be some way, because Ubuntu knows which packages to autoremove
[09:25] <Hendrik_> did anyone try adding repositories manually in ubuntu 10.10? if for example i try to add the virtualbox repos i get an error
[09:25] <keldar> hello there
[09:25] <Volodymyr> Does anybody knows how to fetch list of user-installed packages on system without autoinstalled?
[09:26] <zacstone> pksadiq: section "screen"?
[09:26] <pksadiq> zacstone:  yes
[09:26] <zacstone> pksadiq: Section "Screen"     Identifier     "Screen0"     Device         "Device0"     Monitor        "Monitor0"     DefaultDepth    24     Option         "TwinView" "0"     Option         "metamodes" "nvidia-auto-select +0+0; 1920x1080 +0+0"     SubSection     "Display"         Depth       24
[09:26] <lesshaste> is there a tool that shows thumbnails of files including pdfs?
[09:26] <lesshaste> so I can browse more easily?
[09:26] <Volodymyr> Hendrik_: show your sources.list in pastebin
[09:28] <nanite> Good morning.
[09:28] <nanite> Anybody have any questions? I can help with some general ubuntu topics, nothing too crazy though.
[09:28] <Volodymyr> Does anybody knows how to fetch list of user-installed packages on system without autoinstalled?
[09:28] <pksadiq> zacstone: if you can't find you will have to add it to the line   Option         "metamodes"  .....
[09:28] <Volodymyr> nanite :)
[09:29] <zacstone> pksadiq: so whats best line for "1920x1080_120" or what?
[09:29] <nanite> Volodymyr: You want to view the packages on your system?
[09:29] <pksadiq> zacstone:  you can see that?If so, done, now restart
[09:29] <zacstone> pksadiq: i just wanted one resolution at 1920x1080 and at 120hz and then I'm fine, don't care about all other resolutions..
[09:30] <CaMason> hi guys. We have a problem with 10.10. I added a ne user, but when he logs on, sometimes his theme works, sometimes it doesn't. the windows have the correct theme in their titlebar, but gnome panel and all other items are using the 'base' theme
[09:30] <zacstone> pksadiq: put in "1920x1080_120" is that corect command?
[09:30] <pksadiq> zacstone: , no, wait
[09:30] <Volodymyr> nanite , I want to list packages I installed by myself without packages installed by dependecies
[09:30] <zacstone> pksadiq: right now its Option         "metamodes" "nvidia-auto-select +0+0; 1920x1080 +0+0"
[09:31] <pksadiq> zacstone:  close that gedit and open sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:31] <Volodymyr> very simple task. But in Ubuntu I couldn't find a way to solve it
[09:31] <nanite> Volodymyr: Oh, I see. I believe there is some way to view that within the Synaptic Package manager. Hold on, let me see if there is a way.
[09:32] <nanite> Volodymyr: It is simple yes.
[09:32] <zacstone> still "  Option         "metamodes" "nvidia-auto-select +0+0; 1920x1080 +0+0""
[09:33] <nanite> Volodymyr: Okay, try viewing the history within the manager.
[09:33] <pksadiq> zacstone:  wait, there is an easier way
[09:33] <Volodymyr> I got it
[09:33] <zacstone> pksadiq: yeah?
[09:33] <Volodymyr> I already found a solution :)
[09:33] <nanite> Volodymyr: Please explain!! :) I like to learn.
[09:34] <pksadiq> zacstone:  do you get a result typing sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[09:34] <Volodymyr> Settings->Filters->Other->Manualy installed
[09:35] <nanite> Ah.
[09:35] <zacstone> pksadiq: i don't get anything
[09:35] <nanite> Volodymyr: Nice! Sorry I didn't catch that for you earlier. Awesome, now I know.
[09:35] <Volodymyr> Good bie :)
[09:36] <pksadiq> zacstone:  k, then come back to the previous,type sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:36] <zacstone> pksadiq: i think i found out why
[09:36] <zacstone> pksadiq: the driver for monitor stuck at 60hz
[09:37] <zacstone> ok i'm at gedit now
[09:38] <pksadiq> zacstone:  in the line " metamodes" replace by "metamodes" "1920x1080_120.00"
[09:38] <zacstone> pksadiq: ok now then save it?
[09:38] <shawncm217> my mouse keeps losing the ability to click. any suggestions? this is a new bug for me for 10.10
[09:38] <pksadiq> zacstone:  or better you add ;1920x1080_120.00" after what is now
[09:39] <zacstone> hm..
[09:39] <zacstone> pksadiq: i did added ;1920x1080_120.00"
[09:40] <pksadiq> zacstone:  k save
[09:40] <zacstone> pksadiq: saved
[09:40] <pksadiq> zacstone:  Now open it again and copy paste the one line "metamodes".. here
[09:41] <zacstone> pksadiq: i don't get what you said last line
[09:41] <asdf_> how do I enable vsync on ATI proprietary drivers?
[09:42] <zacstone> pksadiq: right now its at Option         "metamodes" "nvidia-auto-select +0+0; 1920x1080 +0+0;1920x1080_120.00"
[09:42] <histo> asdf_: ask ati?
[09:42] <zacstone> pksadiq:  i added space now its Option         "metamodes" "nvidia-auto-select +0+0; 1920x1080 +0+0;1920x1080_120.00"
[09:42] <histo> asdf_: they are their drivers
[09:42] <pksadiq> zacstone:  k, now reboot

[09:42] <asdf_> histo, awesome :P
[09:42] <zacstone> okay

[09:55] <Matthes_> rww: thanks
[09:55] <nigelb> antIP: Connect a usb stick and back the whole /home drive?
[09:56] <hermit_> you can use simple backup suite, does not need much of explanation, it's in software center
[09:56] <ntelford> anyone know if there's an open/known issue with "papyon" (telepathy-butterfly backend) identifying the computer as "PAPYON" in the MSN multiple computers thing?
[09:56] <ntelford> scared the shit out of me when I saw someone had signed in to my account from a computer called "PAPYON" until I google'd it...
[09:57] <elky> ntelford, plz to not poop in here :)
[09:58] <hermit_> or run 'sudo apt-get install sbackup' and start backing up
[09:58] <ntelford> eh?
[09:58] <elky> ntelford, potty mouth ;)
[09:58] <lucent> antIP: good tool is 'duplicity' my favourite backup command
[09:58] <ntelford> right...
[09:58] <antIP> nigelb: what about shared files in usr/shared and stuff like that?
[09:59] <maverick340> i have a laptop and a desktop , i upgraded by dekstop to maverick last night , now i want to use apt-cacher-ng to update my laptop, how would i do that ?
[10:00] <PhrostyB> what does cacher ng do?
[10:00] <nigelb> antIP: oh, well, you've been suggested better tools already :)
[10:00] <erUSUL> maverick340: i would just copy the debs from /var/cache/apt/archives/ to the laptop.
[10:01] <maverick340> erUSUL, and then run the do release-upgrade or apt-get update / upgrade
[10:01] <antIP> nigelb: wait, what? What do you mean, "I"ve been suggested better tools?" You mean, Duplicity?
[10:01] <CaMason_> how do I make new files created in a folder belong to a specific group, and not that of the user?
[10:01] <nigelb> antIP: yeah
[10:01] <greppy> CaMason_: chown is the command you are looking for
[10:01] <erUSUL> maverick340: yes. apt tools should see the debs there and not download them
[10:02] <ntelford> elky: I'd rather you didn't speak to me like that, I find those words incredibly offensive
[10:02] <maverick340> erUSUL, thanks - i ll try right now and let you know
[10:02] <CaMason_> greppy, that's for setting permission after it's created - can't I do something to make them automatically be a certain group?
[10:02] <maco> ntelford: you're the one who swore
[10:02] <erUSUL> maverick340: you have to put them in /var/cache/apt/archives/ in the laptop too
[10:03] <ntelford> depends on your perspective, language is relative
[10:03] <antIP> lucent: you mean this duplicity? duplicity.nongnu.org
[10:03] <maverick340> erUSUL, Okay :)
[10:03] <zacstone> can somebody repost the link pk gave me?

[10:14] <Darklust> Thonneve: have you tried to restart your computer?
[10:14] <Thonneve> Yes
[10:14] <Leman_Russ> yes
[10:14] <Darklust> Thonneve: make sure your computer is plugged in, this is very common mistake.
[10:14] <Thonneve> ...
[10:14] <Noctis_Lux_> Leman_Russ what says synaptic if you try to update whit it ?
[10:15] <Leman_Russ> Thonneve: have you installed the extra drivers for it?
[10:15] <Thonneve> Yeah
[10:15] <Thonneve> It reports 130something
[10:15] <Thonneve> But not 1600x1200
[10:15] <Darklust> Thonneve: perhaps your monitor is powered off?
[10:16] <Leman_Russ> Noctis_Lux_: that is happening when I use Synaptic.  I can see the updates needed, but when I click Apply, an error pops up saying in need to fix the broken packages
[10:16] <Leman_Russ> Darklust: give it a rest
[10:16] <zacstone_> pksadiq: i don't know how to get out of alt ctrl and f1

[10:19] <halfie> hi, why do netbeans fonts suck so much under 10.10? any tips to fix them?
[10:19] <Thonneve> Darklust: It printed the game
[10:19] <pksadiq> zacstone_:  k, but once you type all what I said, you couldn't get Alt + Ctrl+ F7 so note down all the commands now itself
[10:20] <zacstone_> pksadiq: ok give it to me
[10:20] <Darklust> halfie: they suck?
[10:20] <pksadiq> zacstone_:  are you using kde or gnome?
[10:20] <Darklust> halfie: downgrade to 10.04
[10:20] <zacstone_> pksadiq: how would i know?
[10:21] <lucent> downgrade using a hatchet.
[10:21] <zacstone_> pksadiq: i'm using ubuntu 10.10
[10:21] <pksadiq> zacstone_: I mean Ubuntu or Kubuntu?
[10:21] <halfie> Darklust, that is not a solution. there should be a way to fix netbeans fonts. loads of people do use netbeans
[10:21] <zacstone_> pksadiq: ubuntu
[10:21] <Darklust> halfie: i never liked them, i prefer baked beans

[10:29] <overrider> I installed a 10.4 Ubuntu machine, which had port 22 open to the world. I had a pretty good password, but my machine was compromised. Of course i wonder how someone gets into a sshd on a 10.4 box, but ok. I did not have the latest patches installed. Is there anything i can do to figure out how someone got in exactlt? the only line in the auth log i can see is "new user: name=nicola, UID=0, GID=0, home=/root, shell=/bin/sh" , and i think by that
[10:29] <overrider> 10.4 server by the way
[10:29] <shawncm217> Darklust: this is a regression bug. it should fixed, not ignored. telling me to spend money is not helpful.
[10:29] <Darklust> shawncm217: use some cellophane, a condom and a D cell battery
[10:29] <Darklust> it just works.
[10:30] <rww> Sickler: I think "sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth" in the Terminal lets you set that.
[10:30] <rww> Sickler: assuming you have both Xubuntu and Ubuntu plymouth themes installed.

[10:31] <rww> Sickler: unless by "purple ubuntu 10.10 screen" you mean the text-based one, in which case you're probably using Nvidia or some other proprietary driver that doesn't support Plymouth properly.
[10:31] <Sickler> rww: "Nothing to configure."
[10:31] <Sickler> ohhh
