[16:09] <burg> how can i make ubuntu create Maildir also for every new user?
[16:09] <maihsun> /wc/
[16:10] <bhavesh> what is the bash command for saving the current file in gedit? n=$GEDIT_CURRENT_DOCUMENT_NAME; now how do I save n?
[16:11] <rumpe1> bhavesh, saving the document from commandline, while gedit is running with the document?
[16:11] <bhavesh> yea
[16:12] <bhavesh> I'm editing a external tool to compile java to make it save the current document first
[16:13] <SIFTU> burg: you could try adding the dir to /etc/skel
[16:15] <bhavesh> rumpe1: nvm I found a option Save: below the external tools script.
[16:15] <SIFTU> bhavesh: you might need to use something like xautomate
[16:18] <zenlinux> Can anyone tell me when Oneiric Beta2 is expected today?
[16:18] <auronandace> !11.10 | zenlinux
[16:18] <ActionParsnip> zenlinux: ask in #ubuntu+1 please
[16:18] <rumpe1> bhavesh, i can't find anything in the man. Maybe you can compile a custom-version of gedit, that reacts to signals from command line.
[16:18] <zenlinux> will do, thanks
[16:20] <kkulhavy> burg, I would recommend to try it with the /etc/skel, because we tried to do something like this too and it didnt work
[16:21] <kkulhavy> We assume because the program (KDE) stored some data which are user-specific
[16:21] <kkulhavy> and then the username stored in the file and the actual username mismatched when used in /etc/skel
[16:21] <osse> I installed a package with checkinstall but I assigned it a lower version number the package provided in the repos and so the update manager nags me all the time. How can I change the version number of a package "after the fact" ?
[16:24] <genii-around> osse: You might want to look into pinning instead

[16:27] <InfoLoco> Hello, I'm looking for help. WICD ask me for a password at start.  Compiz doesn't start with XFce (the only way is reload windows manager), and I can't add shortcuts to AWn, 'cause I can't edit  start menu. I appreciate your help. Best Regards!
[16:28] <ActionParsnip> InfoLoco: if you set a blank password for the keyring it won't bother you for password
[16:30] <osse> genii-around, thanks. I used the Synaptic-approach and it works. Though next time I'll probably just give the package I create a bogus name or 999 as the version number :P
[16:31] <jazonn> is it possible to install to a virtual harddrive and boot entirely from that (natively not a vm)? kind of like windows and its native .vhd booting?

[16:34] <rabbi1> ikonia: i am now in the boot menu of USB. What option can i go with ?
[16:34] <rabbi1> run from USB and install to Hard Disk takes lots of lots of time to load
[16:35] <InfoLoco> ActionParsnip: where in users settings?
[16:35] <jodlajodla> hello, which is the best editor program for php, html, css? thanks!
[16:36] <rumpe1> jodlajodla, vim
[16:36] <ybrjkfc> English only?
[16:36] <jodlajodla> rumpel, for html5, css3, ...?
[16:36] <dfcnvt> Hi, I'm having a problem with "System program problem detected" that kept on popping up. I did press "Report problem..." button and after I fill out the password and then it pop back right again three or four second later as if there is another problem. It keep doing that all the time.

[16:37] <Xeneth> More of a general Linux Question.  What would the best book to read for an overall understanding of the internal workings of linux?
[16:37] <rabbi1> Xeneth: bible
[16:37] <dfcnvt> How do I prevent this?
[16:37] <Pici> Xeneth: try ##linux or #ubuntu-offtopic
[16:37] <InfoLoco> users privileges has the all privileges
[16:38] <osse> rumpe1, I see what you did there
[16:38] <Jazon-> is it possible to install to a virtual harddrive and boot entirely from that (natively not a vm)? kind of like windows and its native .vhd booting?
[16:38] <jodlajodla> ubottu actually i just wanted to ask people which program they're using for the newest versions of HTML (5) and CSS (3)
[16:38] <faz> Xeneth: advanced programming in the unix environment   http://www.amazon.com/Advanced-Programming-UNIX-Environment-2nd/dp/0201433079
[16:38] <Xeneth> No big, I was already here and thought I would ask.  Didn't think it would hurt since Ubuntu Is linux.  :)
[16:38] <jodlajodla> ubottu lol :D
[16:39] <me-1> hi..how to fsck as root from a live CD
[16:40] <dfcnvt> me-1: type fsck once you're on liveCD.
[16:40] <dfcnvt> And... there you go!
[16:40] <me-1> dfcnvt,  from terminal..?
[16:40] <dfcnvt> ..Yes.
[16:40] <16WAAFA0T> Just installed 11.04, and now that I added compiz and ubuntu-tweak, my side bar... well actually everything disappeared.  Any suggestions?
[16:41] <ActionParsnip> 16WAAFA0T: run:  unity --replace
[16:41] <KMNsadface> mbeierl:  okay back was partitioning the space; should i be backing up all 3 OS or just the win7?
[16:41] <ActionParsnip> 16WAAFA0T: compiz is in a default install
[16:42] <me-1> Does VLC use properiatry  codecs..?
[16:42] <ActionParsnip> me-1: afaik, not by default
[16:43] <ActionParsnip> me-1: you can install them with ubuntu-restricted-extras
[16:44] <ActionParsnip> me-1: also install w32codecs (or w64codecs) from the medibuntu repos and you'll be able to play most stuff
[16:44] <Jazon-> is it possible to install to a virtual harddrive and boot entirely from that (natively not a vm)? kind of like windows and its native .vhd booting?  I was told its possible to install to boot from a .iso file, would it be possible to install to that or something similar and have it dynamically expand?
[16:44] <me-1> ActionParsnip,  but its not legal in my part of the world
[16:45] <ActionParsnip> Jazon-: seems you can, scroll to 4.2.2 http://www.vmlite.com/appliances/linux-mint-9-readme.html
[16:46] <ActionParsnip> Jazon-: I've never done it so you will have to play
[16:47] <KMNsadface> mbeierl: you here?

[16:54] <soreau> vak: Do you have a Blu Ray burner and disks?
[16:54] <soreau> Id assume the hardware would be the most important item(s)..
[16:55] <alkafoo> I can't imagine why you'd want to
[16:55] <alkafoo> incredibly tedious, costly way to backup/transfer data
[16:55] <alkafoo> and oh yeah governments want to make you a criminal for doing it =)
[16:56] <eypal> in case here is somebody from Canonical Ltd please could you give a private message for me. I do have something business stuff in my mind, a kind of checking up one thing one your website. Have been trying to email you but haven't gotten reply. Thank you so much.
[16:57] <carli2> hi. in which package is /usr/include/bits/predefs.h?
[16:57] <apporc> I found that the same file has two names from ntfsundelete .So what's the reason.
[16:57] <CatKiller> Hi there! I have two Network Interfaces. One is configured as dhcp and the other one as static in /etc/network/interfaces. It all works pretty well except that every half an hour the DHCP client kicks in for *both* interfaces and updates the route and the IP address of the static iface. I have to ifdown eth0 && ifup eth0 to reload its static address and route settings. Does anybody know why?
[16:58] <glebihan> !find /usr/include/bits/predefs.h | carli2
[16:58] <apporc> It just has filename(1) and filename(2). how to recover this ...
[16:58] <apporc> Can anyone help?
[16:58] <soreau> glebihan: nice
[16:58] <soreau> I didnt know ubottu had that feature
[16:58] <CatKiller> I also have the "configure this interface automatically" tickbox unticked for both interfaces in preferences/network connections
[16:58] <glebihan> soreau, ubottu is so good ;)
[16:59] <vak> soreau: YES
[16:59] <angel56> CatKiller: check if the static interface is also defined in /etc/network/interfaces. If so, comment it out
[16:59] <soreau> vak: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CdDvd/Burning#Blu-Ray_Burning
[17:00] <CatKiller> angel56: It is defined, I defined it there.
[17:00] <alkafoo> carli2: check with apt-file
[17:00] <angel56> CatKiller: are you also using network mangler?
[17:00] <CatKiller> angel56: I hate the thing, I'm not using it
[17:00] <vak> soreau: thx
[17:00] <soreau> vak: Seems like its the same as burning a regular image to disk.. look into k3b and wodim too
[17:00] <CatKiller> angel56: Just used it to untick these two boxes
[17:00] <angel56> CatKiller: ok....takes care of that problem
[17:01] <CatKiller> trying to find dhclient.conf
[17:01] <CatKiller> but the manpage doesn't reference its location
[17:01] <soreau> !find dhclient.conf
[17:01] <angel56> CatKiller: /etc/dhcp
[17:01] <chmrr> I'm one of the upstream maintainers of https://launchpad.net/rt/ -- https://launchpad.net/rt/+packages shows that request-tracker3.8 packages list rt/4.0 as upstream, instead of rt/3.8  What's the right way to fix this on launchpad, as I don't seem to have rights to change them myself?
[17:01] <burg> if i use skel to create new folder, can i somehow also set permissions to that folder?
[17:01] <CatKiller> angel56: Thanksa  lot!
[17:02] <soreau> chmrr: Perhaps try #ubuntu-devel
[17:02] <CatKiller> angel56: No luck, everything is commented out there.
[17:02] <KMDsadface> clonezilla is good for cloning hardrives?
[17:03] <CatKiller> angel56: I don't mind using the network manager, but it won't tell me which interface is eth0 and which is eth1!
[17:03] <angel56> CatKiller: can't help you with nm...I hate it and long ago went to wicd
[17:03] <alkafoo> KMDsadface: it'll do, but I'd just use dd
[17:03] <glebihan> chmrr, there's also a #launchpad channel
[17:03] <KMDsadface> alkafoo: whats DD?
[17:03] <ActionParsnip> CatKiller: sudo lshw -C network     will
[17:03] <CatKiller> angel56: wicd? I'd have to try
[17:03] <alkafoo> KMDsadface: of course, there's not much point cloning an entire drive unless it's a proprietary OS
[17:03] <alkafoo> KMDsadface: man dd
[17:04] <soreau> CatKiller: Its probably NetworkManager being weird. I usually dont use it and do everything manually
[17:04] <CatKiller> soreau: I do everything manually but it interferes!
[17:04] <angel56> CatKiller: if you are comfortable with the config files, just take out nm and do the network manually
[17:04] <CatKiller> ActionParsnip: did it, won't map the ethX interface to "Wired connection X" found in Network Manager
[17:04] <CatKiller> angel56: I didn't know I could get rid of this package
[17:04] <soreau> CatKiller: If you already have it setup manually, chmod -x $(which NetworkManager) and reboot to stop it from running altogether
[17:05] <alkafoo> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dd_%28Unix%29#Examples
[17:05] <chmrr> soreau, glebihan: Thanks, I'll try #launchpad
[17:05] <soreau> CatKiller: Its in /usr/sbin/ IIRC
[17:05] <alkafoo> KMDsadface: is it for a Windows install?
[17:05] <CatKiller> soreau: Arg, can't reboot this system however
[17:05] <genii-around> KMDsadface: Basically "DiscDupe" , you can use it to make an image file of an entire harddrive like: sudo dd if=/dev/<harddrive-designation-here> of=/outputfile/filename.img
[17:05] <soreau> CatKiller: Then just remove the executable bit and kill the process
[17:05] <angel56> CatKiller: you can do the chmod and then just kill the nm process
[17:05] <KMDsadface> alkafoo: Win7,Ubuntu, Backtrack5 R1
[17:05] <CatKiller> soreau: Although it must be a daemon running in the background
[17:05] <CatKiller> soreau: ok
[17:05] <KMDsadface> alkafoo: im trying to repair my windows, yes.
[17:06] <soreau> CatKiller: sudo service network-manager stop
[17:06] <soreau> CatKiller: Should stop it for that session
[17:06] <CatKiller> soreau: did kill, it's gione now
[17:06] <alkafoo> KMDsadface: repair?  What's broken?
[17:06] <CatKiller> cool, I only need that for that sessions
[17:06] <CatKiller> soreau and angel and everybody else: Thanks for your help!
[17:06] <CatKiller> We'll see if that takes
[17:06] <soreau> CatKiller: no problem
[17:06] <KMDsadface> alkafoo: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/843/91753173.png/
[17:07] <CatKiller> it's already faster!

[17:07] <CatKiller> oops
[17:08] <CT1> Hi.  Where does fuse mount things? I've used the GUI to mount a windows share, I can see it on the desktop and use it fine, I need to know where the mount point is to use in command line interface.
[17:08] <KMDsadface> alkafoo: i cant even boot into win7, the mbr is screwed up aswell.
[17:08] <alkafoo> KMDsadface: hrmmm
[17:08] <angel56> CT1: usually in /media
[17:08] <alkafoo> CT1: not just fuse, but auto-mounts in general
[17:09] <alkafoo> CT1: 'mount' will tell you
[17:09] <KMDsadface> alkafoo: i was told i should back up my hardrive before i continue, which is very important because i need my data and cant afford to lose it.
[17:09] <CatKiller> even killing the NM didn't do. It had to be killed with the command above!
[17:09] <CatKiller> nasty thing this Network Manager
[17:09] <alkafoo> KMDsadface: well backups are good, but unless you suspect the hardware is failing, you could probably just proceed to the fixing part
[17:09] <CatKiller> It's to be avoided!
[17:09] <KMDsadface> genii-around: would dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb be correct?
[17:09] <angel56> CatKiller: which is probably why so many of us have left it behind
[17:09] <alkafoo> KMDsadface: for which I'd suggest consulting ##windows
[17:10] <CatKiller> angel56: I understand now. I kept thinking update after update that it would get better
[17:10] <ikonia> CatKiller: network manager is one of the best things about the gnome desktop, what's the issue with it ?
[17:10] <soreau> CatKiller: Thats why I said to remove the executable bit first.. if its killed, it will just restart itself
[17:10] <KMDsadface> alkafoo: yeah, i rather make 100% sure i have my stuff; id feel more safe.
[17:10] <alkafoo> KMDsadface: better of=some/path/to/a/file.ddimg
[17:10] <CT1> gvfs-fuse-daemon on /home/me/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=me)
[17:10] <KMDsadface> genii-around: would dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb be correct?
[17:10] <angel56> CatKiller: it's called sns
[17:10] <alkafoo> KMDsadface: fair enough =)
[17:10] <soreau> CatKiller: But that means it wont run ever again until you set the bit back
[17:10] <KMDsadface> alkafoo: uhm, no idea what that means lol
[17:10] <alkafoo> KMDsadface: might check out http://mark.koli.ch/2009/05/howto-whole-disk-backups-with-dd-gzip-and-p7zip.html
[17:10] <alkafoo> KMDsadface: you don't have to copy it over another entire disk, you can output to a file
[17:11] <alkafoo> of=/home/kmdsadface/olddiskbroken.img
[17:11] <alkafoo> just make sure you have teh space
[17:11] <alkafoo> and the space
[17:11] <genii-around> KMDsadface: If you want to make an exact copy of sda onto sdb then yes. Be careful that sdb is same-size or larger. Also they will end up with same UUID after which is not so good if you plan to use them both in same system at same time.
[17:11] <gnaddel> Question: What is the reason to use UUIDs instead to /dev/???? in the fstab?
[17:11] <alkafoo> gnaddel: it's slightly more specific, matching filesystems, not hardware
[17:11] <aeon-ltd> genii-around: uuids don't change
[17:12] <alkafoo> gnaddel: I don't personally see the reason
[17:12] <angel56> gnaddel: it allows the system to use the same name for the same hard drive. If you have six usb drives, you can identify each by name
[17:12] <CatKiller> angel56: But it seems to be getting worse!
[17:12] <CatKiller> angel56: There was more configuration options with it before than there is now!
[17:12] <aeon-ltd> gnaddel: uuids don't change
[17:12] <aeon-ltd> genii-around: sorry about the message, my bad :(
[17:12] <genii-around> aeon-ltd: I think thats what I just stated. If you dd sda to sdb then it will be identical, including the UUID
[17:12] <alkafoo> it's the boring computer version of FS labels, which you can set to anything like 'weeepurpledrive'
[17:12] <angel56> CatKiller: that is supposed to be an 'ubuntu improvement'
[17:12] <genii-around> aeon-ltd: Ah, no worries
[17:12] <alkafoo> well it will be identical, that's all you have to say
[17:13] <angel56> CatKiller: probably why some of us are moving to debian, or something else
[17:13] <KMDsadface> genii-around: yes, i want to make an exact copy, the other hardrive is exactly the same size; so what can i do to prevent UUID.
[17:13] <alkafoo> KMDsadface: you don't have to worry about UUIDs
[17:13] <gnaddel> Related question: Why does my system still boot even though I have listed a wrong UUID in the fstab? (I moved my install to a larger hdd and didn't edit the fstab)
[17:13] <alkafoo> KMDsadface: and again, I suggest not copying to the other drive unless you mean to use _that_ drive regardless of whether you can fix the other
[17:13] <CT1> alkafoo: Thanks. I was looking in /media "mount" told me it was in ~/.gvfs/xxx.  Are you paid for your work? You always seem to be online and in possession of all the answers.... an advanced A.I. bot perhaps?  Keep it up and thanks again!
[17:13] <CatKiller> angel56: Yes, there has been disapointments with Ubuntu lately. I mean it didn't improve much, and now the move to Unity and stuff. This is a bit much.
[17:14] <alkafoo> KMDsadface: just of=/home/foo/somefile.img
[17:14] <alkafoo> CT1: does eye strain count?
[17:14] <KMDsadface> alkafoo: i have no idea what that means
[17:14] <alkafoo> KMDsadface: okay of= is for the output path
[17:14] <genii-around> KMDsadface: Is the filesystem ext2/3/4 or something else?
[17:14] <KMDsadface> alkafoo: i just want to make backup on a hardrive then attempt to repair one so it doesnt screw up and lose everything
[17:14] <alkafoo> KMDsadface: you're copying from /dev/sda (if=/dev/sda, input file)
[17:15] <alkafoo> KMDsadface: right
[17:15] <KMDsadface> right
[17:15] <alkafoo> KMDsadface: so dd if=/dev/foo of=/home/example/directory/path/anyfilenameyouwant.img
[17:15] <alkafoo> it's not worth cloning _over_ another disk, it's much saner to store as a simple file
[17:16] <alkafoo> and heads up it'll probably take several hours unless the disk is quite minute
[17:17] <KMDsadface> well now im just confused as SH**
[17:17] <ikonia> KMDsadface: if you have to star out a word, don't use it please.
[17:17] <KMDsadface> alkafoo: i just want to repair my windows without worrying about losing the data that's all.
[17:18] <soreau> KMDsadface: FWIW, of means output file and if means input file
[17:18] <alkafoo> KMDsadface: I know, I know
[17:18] <alkafoo> KMDsadface: what part are you confused about?
[17:18] <soreau> In the context of dd
[17:19] <KMDsadface> alkafoo: i understand the if/of, but you're saying its not worth cloning the entire disk?; is it possible if i try to repair my win7 that it can ruin my other partitions aswell?
[17:19] <soreau> and FWIW means For What Its Worth ;)
[17:20] <alkafoo> KMDsadface: no I'm saying it's not worth copying one disk's data _over_ another disk's
[17:20] <alkafoo> KMDsadface: instead you should copy one disk's data _to a file_
[17:20] <alkafoo> it's the difference between [A] -> [B] and [A] -> [B]/somefile.img
[17:21] <alkafoo> in this situation, anyways, there are times when it's a decent enough enterprise
[17:23] <KMDsadface> alkafoo: yeah im not really comfortable in following that 10step thing from that website, i already tried following a guide earlier and i believe thats what damaged it even more.
[17:24]  * alkafoo shrugs
[17:24] <alkafoo> what is it you think you did that damaged it more?
[17:24] <yacc> Wondering, anyone got an idea why a SATA3 SSD is switched into SATA1 mode by the kernel, while it keeps 3 normal hdds on the same SATA controller in SATA2 mode?
[17:24] <KMDsadface> mbeierl: you still here?
[17:25] <t60guy> Hello, I had a question. I bought a refurbished T60 laptop a few weeks ago, got it and put ubuntu 10.04 on it. I used Gnome for quite a while, and then switched to awesome wm and started using wicd for network management (wireless). Everything worked perfectly for a few weeks, until a few days ago. I woke up and found that I couldn't connect to my home network, I could see it and a few other networks nearby, and I could begin
[17:25] <grendal-prime> i need to take an image and add highlighter marks on it..
[17:25] <KMDsadface> alkafoo: honestly no idea, its been like 2 weeks since i attempted it.
[17:25] <grendal-prime> am i going full gimp for that?
[17:25] <ActionParsnip> yacc: I'd reboot then read through:  dmesg | less    to see what's going on
[17:27] <KMDsadface> alkafoo: it first started i think when i removed WinXP when i had Win7 and Ubuntu on a tri-boot, the mbr wasn't allowing me to load up into win7 so i got ticked off and tried to find it out then between that and something else the file ended up being uknown and i ended up installing backtrack5 R1 aswell.
[17:28] <KMDsadface> alkafoo: so somewhere between that jungle of mess something happend.
[17:28] <asp> how to connect to wireless connection with channel 13 , because UBUNTU default can connect to 1-11 channels
[17:29] <nicofs> How can I burn a VCD? It's quite urgent and brasero crashes converting the files (apart from that i can't choose between VCD and DVD - it's all just "video disc")...
[17:29] <alkafoo> KMDsadface: I guess what you'd hope for is that you merely confused the partition table
[17:29] <alkafoo> nicofs: urgent?
[17:30] <nicofs> alkafoo, i need the vcd more or less yesterday
[17:30] <KMDsadface> alkafoo: okay so... what should i do? lol
[17:30] <alkafoo> nicofs: http://www.gentoo-wiki.info/HOWTO_Create_a_VCD_or_SVCD#Create_an_SVCD should still work
[17:30] <alkafoo> nicofs: but I'd use a USB stick =P
[17:31] <alkafoo> KMDsadface: talk to ##windows or ##linux about fixing your partition table/determining if it can be fixed
[17:31] <Pici> nicofs: I believe  devede has that capability.
[17:31] <alkafoo> would've been easier had you remembered what you did in the first place
[17:31] <KMDsadface> kk
[17:32] <nicofs> Pici, supposedly so has brasero - but it crashes.... :-(
[17:32] <tbruff13> hello can someone help me
[17:33] <TheMatrix3000> Any issues that I should prepare for if I did an LVM on top a Software RAID configuration in Ubuntu
[17:34] <alkafoo> tbruff13: ...with?
[17:34] <tbruff13> get me a few minutes
[17:34] <nicofs> alkafoo, to be honest, i'm not too thrilled about creating a vcd via cli...
[17:34] <asp> how to connect to wireless connection with channel 13 , because UBUNTU default can connect to 1-11 channels
[17:34] <ActionParsnip> nicofs: try xfburn :)
[17:34] <alkafoo> nicofs: at least you know what is going on and get an error if it fails
[17:35] <mbeierl> KMDsadface: sorry - back now... just reading the scroll back to see what has gone on...
[17:35] <alkafoo> not that it should fail, no complicated GUI to trip over
[17:35] <InfoLoco> Greetings!! Somebody help me with this -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11275724#post11275724 I appreciate
[17:35] <nicofs> ActionParsnip, xfburn does not have a vcd option
[17:36] <mbeierl> KMDsadface: so what I was thinking was to back up sda2 only as it's the one that is having the problem.  it's done via dd as follows: "dd if=/dev/sda2 of=partition_2.dat" or whatever you want to call the partition_2.dat file...
[17:37] <alkafoo> nicofs: it's three commands man =P
[17:37] <alkafoo> I guess you could try VCD, but do you really want to learn a new GUI when you needed something yesterday and you're only three commands away from having it?
[17:37] <alkafoo> could try tovid*
[17:37] <jstew> trying to change the default browser that thunderbird uses to open a web page. my default browser in System->Preferences->Preferred Applications is set to Chrome, but tbird keeps opening up pages in Firefox...
[17:38] <jstew> i'm on ubuntu 11.04
[17:38] <alkafoo> jstew: why do you even have two browsers installed
[17:39] <nicofs> alkafoo, basically it's that i expect ubuntu to be able to do that without issues... burning a vcd should work out of the box...

[17:39] <Ocean66> Hi. Could someone give me directions on how to implement a bug fix that has been released (here : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/779798), please? I am a noob and have no idea at where to even find the fix itself. I am running Natty.
[17:39] <alkafoo> nicofs: transcoding, imaging, and burning for video media is an incredibly complex process on any OS
[17:39] <alkafoo> nicofs: that's why I suggest copying to a USB stick, it's simple
[17:40] <nicofs> alkafoo, yes, i know - but if a program offers the option "burn vcd" that option should work. and i can't put a usb stick into the old-fashioned vcd player
[17:41] <alkafoo> I agree it should work, but you aren't going to get anywhere saying that =P
[17:41] <nicofs> alkafoo, no, but i think i might file a bug or something as soon as my schedule is not as tight as now
[17:41] <alkafoo> Ocean66: 'This bug was fixed in the package libreoffice - 1:3.4.3-1ubuntu3' you want to get that version
[17:42] <alkafoo> mmhmmm
[17:42] <Marsha> hello
[17:42] <alkafoo> Marsha: hi
[17:42] <Marsha> hru
[17:43] <Ocean66> alkafoo : so it will not automatically be included in the update packages the update manager gets? Sorry if my question is obvious and thanks for answering!
[17:43] <alkafoo> yes, hru
[17:43] <alkafoo> Ocean66: it should be, I don't know if it has been _already_, but given that quoted statement, it exists _somewhere_
[17:43] <alkafoo> might check packages.ubuntu.com for it
[17:43] <alkafoo> if you can't find it elsewhere
[17:44] <Ocean66> alkafoo : I tried updatding with the manager to no avail... how else can i get it?
[17:44] <Ocean66> OK just saw your added comment, will check, thanks !!!
[17:44] <alkafoo> I just said

[17:53] <agraj> ok, thanks
[17:53] <ActionParsnip> adi11: use the additional drivers app
[17:53] <ActionParsnip> adi11: I suggest you get fully updated first then reboot
[17:53] <alkafoo> chotaz: it says 'rescue console'?
[17:54] <adi11> i did.

[17:55] <h00k> bekor: go ahead and ask it to the channel
[17:55] <alkafoo> chotaz: error messages are usually useful to know...
[17:55] <adi11> ActionParsnip : the only way i managed to log in is to choose system recovery on grub screen
[17:55] <share> how can I invert an image on Ubuntu
[17:55] <chotaz> alkafoo, is something amongst the lines 'coulnt find boot file' or 'boot file corrupted'
[17:56] <share> or reverse I want to rotate  it
[17:56] <alkafoo> share: install imagemagick, mogrify -flip image

[17:56] <alkafoo> bekor: what says?
[17:57] <adi11> ActionParsnip : i cant figured out if this is a nvidia issue or a hdd isue
[17:57] <bekor> it says your computer does not seem to have a operating system on it ,but it does
[17:57] <share> alkafoo: i dont want to do that
[17:57] <alkafoo> bekor: ..._what_ says?
[17:57] <share> alkafoo: I want to reverse image
[17:57] <share> change left side to the right

[17:58] <alkafoo> share: mogrify -flop image
[17:58] <bekor> you mean when i try to install?
[17:58] <bonbon_> Bonjour !
[17:58] <alkafoo> bekor: if you can't boot Windows XP, it wasn't installed right, try again
[17:58] <ActionParsnip> adi11: add the boot option:  nouveau.blacklist=1    may help
[17:58] <alkafoo> bonbon_: hi

[17:59] <alkafoo> bekor: okay, so what doesn't boot up fine?
[17:59] <adi11> ActionParsnip : can you tell me how to do this?
[17:59] <share> alkafoo: thank you!
[17:59] <chotaz> alkafoo, should I restart and take a look at the message again?
[17:59] <kilrae> Any news on when Beta 2 is out?

[18:00] <hroberts> so no one can help with a cups issue?
[18:00] <jimbozone> Hi, can someone please help me get my lcd monitor running at its native resolution?  I used to have it at 1600x1200 (native).  Then went to dual-screen (had to reduce to 2nd monitor's resolution) now I've removed the 2nd monitor and am back to 1.  But in Monitor Preferences the native resolution of 1600x1200 is not in the list.
[18:00] <bonbon_> someone speaks French please
[18:00] <bonbon_> ,
[18:00] <bonbon_> ?
[18:00] <h00k> !fr | bonbon_
[18:00] <alkafoo> bekor: it sees XP but not Ubuntu?
[18:00] <alkafoo> bonbon_: and more generally: /msg alis list *fr
[18:00] <bonbon_> thanks
[18:00] <fireprint> Have been away from *nix for.. well lets just say a long time. And wow, i am LOVING ubuntu. ended up installing it on three computers including my main laptop. This is weird how awesome it is...
[18:00] <fireprint> Just felt like sharing. hehe
[18:00] <alkafoo> fireprint: =P
[18:01] <Marsha> fireprint, nobody cares
[18:01] <fireprint> I know!.. but atleast i got to share. THAT was my goal.
[18:01] <bekor> no it does not see xp when i go to install it says your computer does not seem do have a operating system on it.do you want to install ubuntu?
[18:01] <ActionParsnip> !nomodeset | adi11 just change the option to nouveau.blacklist=1
[18:01] <pimp> how to connect to wireless with channel 13 ?
[18:02] <hroberts> so no one can help with a cups issue?, or point me to a channel that can help, I have tried ##cups but no one answers there
[18:02] <alkafoo> bekor: like I said, if you install Windows XP and Windows XP won't boot up, it wasn't installed right
[18:02] <Marsha> are cups for drinking
[18:02] <hroberts> Marsha: very funny
[18:02] <chotaz> alkafoo, should I restart and check the error, or is there a way to know it from live cd?
[18:02] <hroberts> CUPS
[18:02] <bekor> well it does boot up and works fine
[18:02] <Marsha> LOL GET IT
[18:02] <alkafoo> chotaz: dunno, errors are useful
[18:03] <alkafoo> bekor: you just said it doesn't, make up your mind
[18:03] <adi11> ActionParsnip : thanks for your advise. can you giude me a little ho to do this? thank you again.
[18:03] <chotaz> alkafoo, brb then.
[18:03] <jimbozone> anyone able to help with my monitor resolution problem?
[18:03] <alkafoo> jimbozone: which problem?
[18:03] <jimbozone> I can't get 1600x1200 in the Resolution list
[18:04] <jimbozone> that's the native res of my monitor
[18:04] <mbeierl> Hey!  speaking of monitor preferences ... does anyone know how to add a custom monitor size to the list?  I'd like to be able to set a resolution of 1366x768
[18:04] <alkafoo> jimbozone: what graphics driver are you using?
[18:04] <jimbozone> I have a radeon hd card
[18:04] <alkafoo> mbeierl: xrandr doesn't list it?
[18:04] <alkafoo> jimbozone: and what driver are you using? lspci -k | less
[18:05] <jimbozone> fglrx_pci
[18:05] <mbeierl> alkafoo: nope.  it just gives me the native 1920x1080, then 1280x1024, 1152x864, 1024x768 and lower.
[18:05] <leeping> Hi there, does it make sense for me to use classes whenever I need a struct?  For some reason it feels like I'm using a very general tool to accomplish a very small task
[18:06] <angel56> leeping: sounds more like a #C question
[18:06] <leeping> angel56, ah i thought i was in #python.  so sorry. :)
[18:06] <mbeierl> alkafoo: I'd like to insert the custom 1366x768 into the list so that when I connect remotely (via nxclient on a shadow session) I can set the monitor resolution to match the remote machine without scaling
[18:06]  * alkafoo forgets if xrandr -s RANDOMxFOO works
[18:06] <pimp>  how to connect to wireless with channel 13  ? because UBUNTU allow just from 1-11 channel by default
[18:07] <alkafoo> mbeierl: check if you have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[18:07] <jimbozone> alkafoo:  xrandr -s 1600x1200
[18:07] <jimbozone> Size 1600x1200 not found in available modes
[18:07] <Psycho_Squid> #pimp is that really true?
[18:07] <pimp> yes
[18:07] <Psycho_Squid> weird :(
[18:08] <sammy> I'm running ubuntu on a chromebook, so I'm using the chromeos' linux kernel. I'm noticing the kernel version I'm using doesn't match the installed linux-libc-dev version, but there isn't a package available to install for a version that far back (<IP_ADDRESS>+). so I probably shouldn't be building anything that uses the kernel header files, right? I mean its only slightly minor versins but...
[18:08] <angel56> pimp:channels above 11 are international, not US
[18:08] <mbeierl> alkafoo: no xorg.conf and xrandr won't allow me to force that resolution
[18:08] <alkafoo> jimbozone: sorry don't know: http://www.google.com/search?q=radeon%20fglrx%20resolution%20site%3Aubuntuforums.org
[18:08] <pimp> angel56:  but what to do to connect to my wireless with channel 13 ?
[18:08] <h00k> sammy: can you lsb_release -a for me?
[18:09] <alkafoo> sammy: why not use Ubuntu's kernel?
[18:09] <fireprint> pimp: i believe hak5 has an entire epi on channels. If you want a quick and easy look into it.
[18:09] <pimp> I'm  from EU , and here is legal that channel
[18:09] <jimbozone> alkafoo: thanks
[18:09] <h00k> pimp: perhaps the hardware doesn't support it
[18:09] <nuclearworm> hello, inputting two directions on dns servers is better than just one?
[18:09] <me-1> hi what is this error ...http://picpaste.com/Image0022-UGtCS6gB.jpg
[18:09] <alkafoo> mbeierl: check that link I sent to jimbo ^
[18:09] <adi11> ActionParsnip : this output from tty1. (-Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)after some more output like this i give "exit" command and than it send me to some menu where i choose "startx". after that it beautifully uploads the GUI gnome, no unity.
[18:09] <pimp> in windows XP works perfect the same hardware
[18:10] <h00k> nuclearworm: what does that mean?
[18:10] <h00k> pimp: what hardware is it?
[18:11] <sammy> alkafoo: to use the chromebook in a dualboot, the chromeos loader by default only loads google signed kernel images. to use ubuntu's kernel would mean disabling the ability to dual-boot. its possible, iirc
[18:11] <angel56> pimp: I suspect it is more a driver/module issue. The modules for that wifi card have probably not yet implemented EU support
[18:11] <adi11> ActionParsnip: how to find out what driver is nvidia using now that i am on GUI?
[18:11] <alkafoo> sammy: ...why are you dual booting
[18:11] <kilrae> so i got myself a new hard drive and i want to use the whole thing, i seem to have two choices: (1) partition table (MBR) with one partition, (2) unpartitioned, is there any reason to choose one over the other?
[18:11] <pimp> h00k:  x-micro wlan card
[18:12] <alkafoo> adi11: jump through a million menu items, or run sudo lspci -k | less
[18:12] <burg> how can i give write permissions only to one user?
[18:12] <pimp> angel56:  Not it isn't issue of hardware , but the channels above 11 are ilegal in US so are disabled by default on Ubuntu
[18:13] <angel56> burg: make him owner of the file and only allow write by the owner
[18:13] <angel56> pimp: that's what I said
[18:13] <sammy> alkafoo: its not my chromebook :) but thats a good question. because other than a lack of hard drive space, I didnt think there were any glaring issues. OH also because I believe some of the hardware, don't you have to boot into chromeos first, then restart (not power off) the machine, and then reboot into ubuntu so the hardware is initialized? I think the 3g modem might require such tomfoolery
[18:13] <ActionParsnip> adi11: sudo lshw -C display | grep driver
[18:13] <pimp> angel56:  but why in windows XP works
[18:13] <sammy> alkafoo: but I could be wrong.
[18:13] <angel56> pimp:I suspect you have european drivers for winxp
[18:14] <ActionParsnip> adi11: nouveau|nv = open driver     nvidia=proprietary
[18:14] <adi11> alkafoo : thanks. OMG ridiculous. how to type that vertical line on keyboard.
[18:14] <sammy> kilrae: Id use a parition table. makes it easier to make changes later, if you ever wanted to.
[18:14] <pimp> angel56:  but i think there is an option to change that  , they thought even for EU
[18:14] <sammy> kilrae: though I will admit I didnt know unpartitioned was an option
[18:15] <sulumar> Hi
[18:15] <SIFTU> ActionParsnip: adi11 its probably optimus
[18:15] <sulumar> Can anyone Help me with a bilbee setup
[18:15] <angel56> pimp: well, you have access to the source code for the module; change it to support european channels
[18:15] <usr13> adi11: On most keboards it's upper-case \
[18:15] <sulumar> i cant find any accurate info
[18:15] <ActionParsnip> SIFTU: very likely. I hate that thing, so annoying
[18:15] <alkafoo> sammy: it's just a Linux distro, pick the one you want and use just it
[18:15] <SIFTU> ActionParsnip: tell me about it
[18:15] <pimp> but where to find that module , in which folder
[18:15] <in0cula> hi!, in my laptop with ubuntu 11.04 i put the brightness at the minimum, but still too shine for me, it there a way to decrease the brightness even more? thx
[18:16] <sammy> kilrae: I also would suggest looking into separating certain directories into their own partition, like /usr or /var or /home. its good practice in case something goes horribly wrong
[18:16] <SIFTU> adi11: also run the following "lspci|grep -i VGA"
[18:16] <alkafoo> in0cula: xgamma
[18:16] <angel56> pimp: in the kernel source packages
[18:16] <kilrae> sammy, neither did i, just saw it today, i can't seem to find any information on it
[18:16] <alkafoo> in0cula: but you might like xcalib -i -a even more
[18:16] <SIFTU> adi11: and tell me how many lines there are
[18:16] <pimp> what the exact name of wifi modul ?
[18:16] <Psycho_Squid> #pimp only for info. don't do it if you are not sure what you are doing. :) http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=43351
[18:16] <adi11> thanks guys. my nvidia driver now running is "nouveau"
[18:17] <sammy> alkafoo: as I said, I think I need chromeos to be able to initialize the 3g modem, or Id lose that functionality completely in ubuntu. but I need to do more research.
[18:17] <alkafoo> adi11: that's the open source one
[18:17] <Aric> Does Ubuntu 11.04 run natively on ARM processors? (I want to put Ubuntu on an Asus Eee Pad, Transformer ... also curious about any information on driver compatibility with the Tegra 2 chipset, the proprietary keyboard dock on it etc and where I can get more details since some of my searches have been in vain
[18:17] <Psycho_Squid> the guide is not even also not for your hardware
[18:17] <alkafoo> sammy: that's incredibly unlikely
[18:17] <Psycho_Squid> not even for your hardware*
[18:18] <pimp> what do you think is the solution ?
[18:18] <adi11> SIFTU : 00:12.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation C67 [GeForce 7150M / nForce 630M] (rev a2)
[18:18] <alkafoo> sammy: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Devices if you want to know for sure
[18:19] <D_Russ> hello
[18:19] <Psycho_Squid> #in0cula is your GPU from nVidia?
[18:19] <D_Russ> how is everyone
[18:19] <SIFTU> adi11: ok, and thats the only line
[18:19] <sammy> alkafoo: I know it was definitely that way six months ago, but it may have changed since. the cr-48 is quite weird with its hardware. sometimes if it falls asleep, you have to reboot the machine to get all your hardware functionality back, ie xbacklight starts to report that nothing installed supports backlight control. its odd.
[18:19] <alkafoo> sammy: but in all likelihood, as with everything else Google does, they took an open source driver and hardware known to work with it
[18:19] <sammy> alkafoo: and then tweaked it, like they do :P
[18:19] <alkafoo> sammy: that doesn't necessarily mean the drivers are not open source =P
[18:19] <h00k> sammy: you can probably see if there's a chromebook or chromeium os channel and talk with them about it
[18:19] <alkafoo> sammy: Google may have even _added_ the bugs
[18:20] <alkafoo> like they do
[18:20] <dr_willis> 'extra undocumented features' :)
[18:20] <sammy> h00k: good call. im sure there is. my original question was about finding older versions of libc headers. but there's no such repository of old packages lying about, right?
[18:20] <alkafoo> there usually is
[18:20] <angel56> pimp: if you really need that channel, you might blacklist the wifi module you are using, install ndiswrapper, and try using the winxp driver you say works
[18:21] <alkafoo> seems like a waste of time, though, for dual booting two Linux distros
[18:21] <fireprint> doh.. totally forgot my nickreg pwd..
[18:21] <adi11> SIFTU : yes. only one
[18:21] <alkafoo> fireprint: did you forget your nickreg email?
[18:21] <fireprint> nope
[18:21] <SIFTU> adi11: ok, well then thats good
[18:21] <alkafoo> then you're good =P
[18:21] <Psycho_Squid> #pimp either hack the ROM for your Wi-Fi card to force EU-region or try to find another driver. as you say it works with Windows XP. so the channels is not disabled by hardware. well, maybe the driver can unlock but not sure in your case
[18:21] <sammy> alkafoo: all I remember is that using the 3g modem in anything other than chromeos required booting into chromeos, initializing the modem, and then rebooting the machine. as i said, I'm hoping this has changed since, but I stopped looking into it. if I can find an older version of linux-libc-dev I can push it back to my current kernel version, along with the headers for module building, which are also a few versions too new.
[18:21] <fireprint> oh. sweet.
[18:21] <in0cula> no it is ATI
[18:21] <in0cula> ati 5470
[18:22] <adi11> SIFTU : you think i should install the nvidia proprietary driver?
[18:22] <alkafoo> adi11: if you aren't happy with nouveau
[18:22] <Jargonn> Hi!
[18:23] <alkafoo> Jargonn: hi
[18:23] <Psycho_Squid> #in0cula I use smartdimmer for nVidia. maybe there is a similiar tool
[18:23] <Jargonn> How can I burn .dmg files?
[18:23] <adi11> the problem is that i tried on that driver too. it didnt do much. still hang s on after grub page
[18:24] <fireprint> alkafoo i tried "help" but cant really get anything off of it. Any tip on where i should be looking?
[18:24] <Psycho_Squid> #Jargoon DMG contains a filesystem. Do you want to burn the filesystem and its content or just the plain DMG-file?
[18:25] <fireprint> nevermind alkafoo, i see you are busy helping people out. Ill google it. thanks tho
[18:25] <D_Russ> i am having an issue with restarting of natty, my mouse and keyboard. i have a belkin kvm switch installed (windows machine and ubuntu machine) 2 keyboards, 1 ps2 keyboard connected to the ubuntu (always works) and a usb mouse and keyboard connected to the belkin kvm switch. the problem is that the kvm KB & mouse does not work for atleast 3-5 minutes when i restart ubuntu. Anyone know of any...
[18:25] <D_Russ> ...solutions or experiencing the same thing?
[18:26] <adi11> guys i have 3 drivers available: Nvidia accelerated grapichs driver (version 173), Nvidia accelerated grapichs driver (version current) {reccomanded}, and Experimental 3d support for nvidia cards. which one?
[18:27] <Psycho_Squid> #adi11 the recommended one is working fine... at least on my box :)
[18:27] <adi11> Psycho_Squid : did u do somthing with boot option like "nomodeset" or anything else?
[18:28] <Jargonn> How can I burn .dmg files?
[18:28] <alkafoo> Jargonn: read up
[18:28] <adi11> Psycho_Squid : i cant bot normally on ubuntu. it hangs on the purple screen after grub page.
[18:28] <Psycho_Squid> #Jargoon maybe you can convert the DMG-file to ISO and then burn it
[18:29] <Psycho_Squid> #adi11 you sure it has to do with the nVidia driver?
[18:29] <Jargonn> Psycho_Squid: I would like to burn a mac os x loin dmg to a disk so I can install it
[18:30] <alkafoo> Jargonn: just copying it over should suffice
[18:30] <adi11> Psycho_Squid thats what some other people here think..
[18:30] <ActionParsnip> Jargonn: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManageDiscImages   mentions them
[18:30] <alkafoo> fireprint: ask #freenode if you can't figure it out
[18:31] <Psycho_Squid> #adi11 ok. is the system in a deadlock or can you press CTRL+ALT+F1?
[18:31] <D_Russ> i have tried unplugging and nothing works
[18:31] <in0cula> xgamma don't change brightness :((
[18:31] <in0cula> any idea on ati , i need less brightness
[18:31] <fireprint> ah ok, thanks alkafoo. Appreciated
[18:31] <Psycho_Squid> #Jargoon you can extract a DMG-file to a separate disk using the command dd. Is that what you want to do?
[18:32] <ActionParsnip> Psycho_Squid: you do realize adding # to the start of nicks makes highlighting not work. This isn't twitter
[18:32] <adi11> Psycho_Squidafter grub page i choose ubuntu recovery and goes to tty. i live it like that for 5 min after all output i give command "exit". than it gives me the menu where i choose "startx"
[18:32] <alex_> exit
[18:33] <jasonlfunk> Is there a way I can tell which files a program is trying to open? It's simply telling me "No such file or directory" but doesn't say WHICH file doesn't exist.
[18:33] <adi11> Psycho_Squid : and this is how i log in to ubuntu. but once i log in GUI it runs smoothly and i love it.
[18:33] <ActionParsnip> #Psycho_Squid: see how this isn't highlighted
[18:33] <Psycho_Squid> Sorry ActoinParsnip. ages since I used IRC ;)
[18:33] <ActionParsnip> jasonlfunk: run it from terminal, may give clues
[18:34] <jasonlfunk> ActionParsnip: I am, it doesn't.
[18:34] <ActionParsnip> Psycho_Squid: np
[18:34] <jwiggins> I am trying to install ubuntu 10.04 on a new PC. When I go to install to drive it does not see my primary hard drive. However the disk manager utility and dmesg both see the drive. The drive is a 1TB WD, any advice?
[18:34] <ActionParsnip> Psycho_Squid: you can use tab to complete nicks too, faster
[18:35] <Psycho_Squid> but... in chatzilla (that I use) the nick is highlighted/bold :p
[18:35] <ActionParsnip> jasonlfunk: what is the command?
[18:35] <D_Russ> jwiggins whats on there now?
[18:35] <TheMatrix3000> ActionParsnip: that's kinda cool
[18:35] <zooka> TheMatrix3000: saves you a lot of typing
[18:36] <jwiggins> D_Russ, I cleared it, empty drive no partitions. I even tried added a 50GB partition via disk manager with ext4 and it still doesn't see it
[18:36] <ActionParsnip> jwiggins: does the drive detect in bios? Have you tried
[18:36] <TheMatrix3000> zooka: yes it does, i can't believe I have been using this stuff for over a year and still haven't known about that
[18:36] <ActionParsnip> jwiggins: tried natty live cd
[18:36] <jwiggins> ActionParsnip, yes, and I can mount it when I cancel the installation
[18:36] <offermann> where is germa ubuntu?
[18:36] <D_Russ> youmight have a bad burn on the disc
[18:36] <goto> Hello, does anyone know which metacity-theme this is: http://i.imgur.com/EArz1.png ?
[18:36] <offermann> gemrna
[18:36] <offermann> german
[18:36] <jasonlfunk> ActionParsnip: It's some non-public proprietary software…. I thought there might be a linux command that will print out system calls for file accesses.
[18:36] <jwiggins> ActionParsnip, I am installing from a USB drive
[18:37] <D_Russ> i spent 5 hours trying to install natty to find out the disc i burned it on was junk
[18:37] <ActionParsnip> TheMatrix3000: tab completion is cool, do you mean?
[18:37] <offermann> ubuntu-de
[18:37] <alkafoo> jwiggins: if you can setup partitions with gparted, try that
[18:37] <angel56> D_Russ: that is what md5sum is for
[18:37] <jwiggins> It sees the 500MB drive I have in there, so I removed it
[18:37] <offermann> help ! german ubuntu
[18:37] <jwiggins> alkafoo, when I did that it still didn't see the drive via installation
[18:38] <Pici> !de | offermann
[18:38] <D_Russ> i went through 6 blank discs. never buy tdk discs
[18:38] <Aric> Will Ubuntu 11.04 run natively on an Eee Pad Transformer?
[18:38] <alkafoo> jwiggins: time for a debootstrap, maybe
[18:38] <angel56> if I found six bad TDK disks I would start to suspect the drive
[18:38] <ActionParsnip> jwiggins: interesting. If you then partition the drive manually then rerun the installer is it ok? Did you update ubiqity before running the installer?
[18:39] <vikram> how to play .mp3 file via cmd line
[18:39] <D_Russ> #angel56 but the thing is that i purchased some maxells and it worked the first time
[18:39] <ActionParsnip> vikram: mplayer or vlc-nox
[18:39] <D_Russ> even an older 9.04 disc i had worked
[18:40] <ActionParsnip> D_Russ: md5 test the iso and burn as slowly as possible
[18:40] <D_Russ> its all working now
[18:41] <synackfin> how do I install 32-bit gilbc so I can run 32-bit apps? (on 64-bit ubuntu)
[18:41] <D_Russ> but like you said i know what to do now if any future problems
[18:41] <vikram> can i play it by redirecting it to any device ?
[18:42] <D_Russ> i just wish i could get this keyboard and mouse problem resolved
[18:42] <ActionParsnip> jwiggins: you can still update ubiquity in liveusb. Have you tried Natty
[18:42] <angel56> vikram: I use the 'play' command. It is part of a package, but I don't recall which package
[18:42] <angel56> vikram: it is part of 'sox'
[18:43] <ActionParsnip> vikram: it will use the configured sound device
[18:43] <synackfin> nevermind, found it:  apt-get install ia32-libs
[18:43] <synackfin> synackin
[18:43] <MTPrower> Hiya awesome fun peeps
[18:43] <MTPrower> I'm new to Linux, and I was hoping for some support in installing Kubuntu
[18:43] <ActionParsnip> aplay is in a default install too angel56 vikram
[18:44] <angel56> ActionParsnip: yeah, but sox installs so many neat toys <smile>
[18:44] <ActionParsnip> MTPrower: give some details and the channel will help if it can
[18:44] <Chotaz> I installed Ubuntu 11.04 over Win7(as in formatting the machines hdd and installing ubuntu after) and when I try to boot up the computer I get an error saying 'error : no such device :' and a long alphanumeric string after and below that an input line saying 'grub rescue>'
[18:45] <ActionParsnip> Chotaz: you can boot livecd and reinstate grub from there.
[18:46] <MTPrower> ActionParsnip: I attempted installations last night and failed miserably. I have a CD and a flash drive. I prefer the flash drive. I have three partitions right now: System reserved, NTFS, 100 Mb, System, Primary; Storage, NTFS, 400 GB, Boot, Primary; and Linux, EXT3, 65 GB, None, Logical
[18:46] <MTPrower> ActionParsnip: I need to keep that 400 GB untouched
[18:48] <MTPrower> ...wow... enter and leave spam...
[18:48] <MTPrower> *enter-and-leave spam
[18:48] <Urchin> it seems that MTPrower didn't get the installer to run, from my talking to him
[18:48] <Urchin> I haven't installed ubuntu in a while
[18:48] <MTPrower> Urchin: lol hiya Urchin. I got the installer to run, but it failed without an error message
[18:49] <ActionParsnip> MTPrower: that's fine. Fixing grub doesn't touch NTFS.
[18:49] <MTPrower> Urchin: it got to a slideshow where it was supposed to be installing and played the slideshow, but did nothing else for 6+ hours
[18:49] <Hano> what is best irc-application for ubuntu?
[18:49] <MTPrower> ActionParsnip: what is Grub? I've heard of it
[18:49] <Urchin> Hano: try xchat
[18:50] <ActionParsnip> !grub
[18:50] <Ludipe> Hi!  I am using Xubuntu 11.4 and somehow my desktop manager wont work, where there should be icons there's just a big grey screen ( the tool bar works fine ) ; anyideas to solve it?
[18:50] <Xeneth> Hano: Preference
[18:50] <Urchin> Hano: or just use chatzilla as a firefox plugin, works everywhere
[18:50] <MTPrower> ubottu: does Grub install Kubuntu?
[18:50] <MTPrower> ...lol
[18:50] <alkafoo> Ludipe: make sure xfdesktop is running
[18:50] <Urchin> MTPrower: grub is the boot loader that boots the os
[18:51] <alkafoo> Ludipe: and make sure nautilus isn't
[18:51] <MTPrower> ActionParsnip: does Grub install Kubuntu or only Ubuntu?
[18:51] <Ludipe> alkafoo: ok, i am gonna check it
[18:51] <io> MTPrower: no. the user installs Kubuntu - grub boots it
[18:51] <MTPrower> io: yeah, I've been having trouble installing Kubuntu. Booting it isn't the problem. Yet.
[18:51] <Chotaz> ActionParsnip:  im currently on liveCD can you help me from here, I never dealt with grub.
[18:52] <ActionParsnip> MTPrower: it loads the kernel then the drives and such. The fact you use KDE instead of Gnome is moot
[18:52] <io> MTPrower: then why are you worrying about grub?
[18:52] <MTPrower> That reminds me. I want Linux on my hard drive, not on a live CD or USB
[18:52] <MTPrower> io: I was just asking what it was
[18:52] <io> MTPrower: you can use the live CD to install it to your hard drive
[18:53] <tarek_> hi there. I completely messed up my audio settings (worked quite fine, only had some a/v sync problems) and now I'd love to find a way to just remove all alsa, pulseaudio, gstreamer and whatnot stuff and add a clean setup of all of this from scratch. Is there a way to do this?
[18:53] <Xeneth> Is there a way to make Windows my default OS for my gaming machine?  I tried modifying the default line, but as sune as the kernal updates, it's undone.
[18:53] <Xeneth> This is in grub
[18:53] <sulumar>  /msg NickServ identify Karano00
[18:53] <alkafoo> Xeneth: you need to modify the custom config
[18:53] <MTPrower> io: If I have an EXT3 partition of 65 GB set apart for all Linux-related stuff, do I need to do anything else before I run the liveCD again?
[18:53] <io> tarek_: '$ apt-get purge ...'
[18:54] <alkafoo> Xeneth: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2?action=show&redirect=GRUB2#Custom_Menu_Entries
[18:54] <alkafoo> MTPrower: shouldn't have even had to do that =)
[18:54] <vikram> can i put a game in grub ?
[18:54] <MTPrower> alkafoo: except for the fact that I can't afford to lose what's on my larger partition
[18:54] <io> MTPrower: requirements are outlined here, with a lot of other useful information regarding the install process: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation
[18:55] <alkafoo> MTPrower: right, but the installer doesn't just randomly delete stuff =)
[18:55] <BluesKaj> tarek_, alsa is the default driver for most audio cards , pulseaudio is redundant unless you use several audio sources simultaneously ...most likely if you have audio lag it's the [layer/source file's fault
[18:55] <MTPrower> io: I've seen those. I was asking more about actions to be taken
[18:55] <BluesKaj> player /source file
[18:56] <io> MTPrower: if you've read it then why are you asking what is required? it's clearly outlined here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements#Ubuntu_Desktop_Edition
[18:56] <io> MTPrower: or do you want me to type what's on that page for you?
[18:56] <MTPrower> ...so if I'm booting a USB installation of Windows, I can just boot the compy with the USB in. I tried doing that with my liveUSB, but I'm not sure it worked...
[18:56] <sunice> vikram: grub would not boot a game alone.
[18:57] <MTPrower> io: ...look, I've read tons of pages. It's all a bunch of mess to me. Some people don't learn how things work through the same kind of teaching media as others
[18:57] <sunice> vikram: wouldn't have the enviroment variables to run it. It's for choosing and booting the OS.
[18:57] <vikram> or at least wallpaper ... ?
[18:57] <io> MTPrower: you're asking about requirements; those are the requirements. it couldn't be any simpler
[18:57] <tarek_> okay ... it's just that I messed around with everything, executed a whole lot of stuff I found in forums and tutorials etc. and now some things are worse than before (for example my speakers won't mute if I plug in my headphones)
[18:58] <tarek_> so. I now have purge. What do I do to "reset" all my audio stuff? (sry, I really not that experienced with this ^^)
[18:58] <D_Russ> anyone know anything about resolving some keyboard andmouse issues in natty?
[18:58] <Chotaz> ActionParsnip:  im currently on liveCD can you help me from here, I never dealt with grub.
[18:58] <MTPrower> io: I never once asked for hardware requirements here. I said I was having problems with installation. I definitely meet hardware requirements
[18:58] <mbeierl> why oh why... I cannot launch libre office anymore because it hangs compiz with 100% cpu usage as the startup banner reaches about 50% loaded...  restarting compiz gets me out of it, but I cannot find the libre office window anywhere... even though the soffice.bin process is still there
[18:59] <ActionParsnip> Chotaz: there are guides all over the web for it
[18:59] <sunice> MTPrower: during the install process ubuntu ask you where you wish to install. It then uses gparted to resize each partition according to what you choose. As long as you do not oversize the one you are installing ubuntu on you are golden.
[18:59] <alkafoo> D_Russ: issues?
[18:59] <io> MTPrower: you asked about requirements before booting the live CD
[18:59] <ActionParsnip> mbeierl: does it affect all users?
[18:59] <MTPrower> io: I asked about what I should do, not about what I need
[18:59] <sunice> mbeierl: have you killed the process?
[18:59] <mbeierl> ActionParsnip: ?  I'm the only user on this system.
[18:59] <MTPrower> io: sorry if I miscommunicated
[18:59] <sec> hi
[18:59] <ActionParsnip> mbeierl: make a new user to test then...
[19:00] <mbeierl> sunice: yes, I killed it.  The soffice.bin that is
[19:00] <MTPrower> BRB awesome fun peeps. Gonna try installing Ubuntu again
[19:00] <mbeierl> ActionParsnip: ah, ok
[19:00] <sec> somebody knows how add more desktop in ubuntu 11.04 with unity? only I've 4 desktops
[19:00] <Chotaz> ActionParsnip:  im not an expert with ubuntu or linux at all, I thought live help would get things done faster, but i-ll search around :) you said I need to reinstate grub?
[19:00] <sunice> mbeierl: then on re-launching it hung again.
[19:00] <ActionParsnip> Chotaz: nobody is born one either
[19:01] <MTPrower> ohwait, one more question that I asked but was not responded to yet: I have a USB stick with Kubuntu on it. How do I activate the installer? Can I just reboot my compy with the flash drive in it, or do I have to do something else?
[19:01] <bil21al> i m login from empathy in the freenode account but iit is asking a password my nick is reg but i dont remember the password so how can i et that password/.??
[19:01] <Chotaz> ActionParsnip:  got me there, I might have found something useful, I gonna try this and will be back later with a report
[19:01] <sunice> mbeierl: if case then have you tried looking at the process tree to see if it's a sup-process?
[19:01] <io> !usb | MTPrower
[19:02] <MTPrower> io: dude, I read all this stuff. It's confusing. People can explain things in person way better than any paper can. Trust me, I am an excellent teacher
[19:02] <Urchin> what sort of bot is ubottu?
[19:02] <D_Russ> #alkafoo	i am having an issue with restarting of natty, my mouse and keyboard. i have a belkin kvm switch installed (windows machine and ubuntu machine) 2 keyboards, 1 ps2 keyboard connected to the ubuntu (always works) and a usb mouse and keyboard connected to the belkin kvm switch. the problem is that the kvm KB & mouse does not work for atleast 3-5 minutes when i restart ubuntu
[19:03] <mbeierl> sunice: it's not soffice that hangs, it's that when it displays the start up banner, it causes compiz to hang with 100% cpu usage
[19:03] <in0cula> THX Psycho_Squid  THX
[19:03] <io> MTPrower: asking us to explain something that's already explained is lazy. read it, and ask specific questions on what you're unsure on
[19:03] <alkafoo> D_Russ: <- how you address someone on IRC if you want them to notice your message
[19:03] <sunice> mbeierl: sorry misread
[19:03] <MTPrower> io: also, this only explains creating a liveUSB with Linux, and says explicitly that you need Linux to create a liveUSB. That's bullcrap
[19:04] <D_Russ> ok sorry
[19:04] <alkafoo> D_Russ: and sorry but I never use kvms
[19:04] <io> MTPrower: please watch your language
[19:04] <Urchin> MTPrower: why can't you just boot off a cd?
[19:04] <ActionParsnip> ChotazAFK: http://ubuntuguide.net/how-to-restore-grub-2-after-reinstalling-windows-xpvistawin7
[19:04] <D_Russ> thanks anyhow
[19:04] <MTPrower> io: if you get offended at "bullcrap", then that's your fault. How it could possibly harm anyone is just beyond me
[19:05] <Max229> How do I watch TV on my Ubuntu box?  What do I need?
[19:05] <mbeierl> sunice: np.  I don't really understand what's going on with soffice/compiz interaction at this point, but thanks anyway
[19:05] <io> !tv | Max229
[19:05] <MTPrower> Urchin: I'm poor I have one CD left and no burning software. I'm afraid to waste it, especially since I seem to have messed up with my first liveCD
[19:06] <Urchin> MTPrower: what did you burn for the first live cd?
[19:06] <sunice> MTPrower: it's understandable that you have questions, but if you have not put in an effort to read the documentation, Linux users generally are not as happy to help. We(atleast me) are only in here to help others. Please do not get upset with people when they are only trying to help you along
[19:06] <paulus68> MtPrower use virtualbox to experiment
[19:06] <mzuverink> will 11.10 feature a unity based gnome 3 or a classsic gnome 3?

[19:07] <Guest14189> cant be solved
[19:07] <milko> Hi people!
[19:07] <MTPrower> sunice: I did read the documentation. There's a lot of conflicting information and a bunch of things I don't understand. I ain't getting upset, not even at io, even though he is a bit redundant...
[19:07] <milko> I'm trying to lunch ubuntu-one
[19:07] <LaWU> Hi Milko.

[19:10] <Guest14189> i hope i contribute to ubuntu
[19:10] <Guest14189> i will write some programmes
[19:10] <paulus68> is there a way to activate unity
[19:10] <Urchin> xdm+ratpoison=win
[19:10] <pikapika-> is it possible to install to and boot from a virtual disk(natively not a VM)?  I know windows 7 added support for their bootloader to boot .VHDs natively is there some way to do that with linux?  i don't care what format of virtual disk it is
[19:10] <Urchin> :P
[19:11] <Guest14189> paulus68: open terminal and write unity
[19:11] <Guest14189> or you can do it gconf-editor
[19:11] <alkafoo> pikapika-: what do you mean natively not a vm
[19:11] <Guest14189> but i dont remember the full path
[19:11] <alkafoo> pikapika-: you want to boot a guest from GRUB?
[19:11] <urlin2u> pikapika-, you kust asked the excat same question in #fedora please do not use multiple channels.
[19:11] <urlin2u> just/exact*
[19:12] <alkafoo> pikapika-: the simplest way would be to install to a partition with kvm/qemu, then you can just add another entry to GRUB for that partition
[19:12] <Psycho_Squid> pikapika: everything is possible but it takes some effort :)
[19:12] <Xeneth> alkafoo: sorry, I'm working.  I did that and it works, but it get's undone when it upgrades.  Looking for something that will not change.
[19:12] <pikapika-> urlin2u guess what, I'm an independant woman and I can ask whoever I want whatever I want and if you don't like that you can get in line buddy
[19:12] <alkafoo> coming at it from behind
[19:12] <ActionParsnip> pikapika-: i saw a guide so i'd say yes. Grub2 is a magical beast
[19:12] <alkafoo> Xeneth: the custom file? Should not be touched during upgrade
[19:13] <pikapika-> ActionParsnip yea that was for a product that costs 80+ dollars though i checked out that vboot
[19:13] <ActionParsnip> pikapika-: I've not done it myself
[19:13] <urlin2u> pikapika-, yes you can but the ops will ban you for an attitude and continuing to do this. :D
[19:13] <Xeneth> alkafoo: Where there was a kernal upgreade it did.
[19:13] <ActionParsnip> pikapika-: why. Grub2 is free...
[19:13] <Psycho_Squid> ActionParsnip: what about try to use features from Virtualbox in some fancy way?
[19:14] <c0mrade_> WriteLn.Console("Hello");
[19:14] <pikapika-> ActionParsnip from what i read vboot uses a modified grub2 and has not published the source for other people to implement the changes
[19:14] <alkafoo> Xeneth: then your system is malfunctioning
[19:15] <J11> is there anyway to unblock a hard rf-kill switch?
[19:15] <Guest14189> take care guyss
[19:15] <c0mrade_> How can a 6-stage pipeline be implemented? Through hardwired logical circuitry/gates or assembly/microcode?
[19:17] <TrevorBradley_> Hey folks.. .does anyone know if GoogleBot is Drupal aware, and starts hunting for /node/* urls even if they're not linked to?
[19:17] <J11> the laptop has a wifi sliderswitch(one that has a spring to go back in the same position)
[19:17] <Ludipe> Hi! I had a few issues with the desktop manager in xubuntu before, I solved it but xfdesktop doesnt start by itself so i have to run it from a terminal and if i close the terminal my user session ends
[19:17] <TrevorBradley_> I'm trying to track down how Google managed to get to certain URLs on my site...
[19:17] <J11> but it seems ubuntu doesn't respond to it
[19:17] <pikapika-> alkafoo what I'm trying to accomplish is booting from a file, windows uses .vhd because well thats microsoft's format for virtual disks but either way their bootloader boots the .vhd file as if it were a fully partitioned HD install, I'm trying to accomplish something like that with linux be it .iso or squashfs or whatever i just need some kind of guide to follow ;d
[19:17] <J11> so i hope there is another way other than opening the laptop
[19:17] <fu> rg
[19:18] <c0mrade_> Anyone heard what did Obama say about Palestine? Do you beleive this? He wants innocent people to die.
[19:18] <alkafoo> TrevorBradley_: from links
[19:18] <ikonia> c0mrade_: that's not for discussion in this channel please.
[19:18] <J11> rfkill list gives Hard blocked: yes
[19:18] <TrevorBradley_> alkafoo, is it possible that there aren't any links, but it still might be indexed??
[19:18] <alkafoo> pikapika-: what exactly does it get you?
[19:18] <c0mrade_> Oh my oh my.
[19:19] <alkafoo> TrevorBradley_: not unless someone personally submitted it
[19:19] <TrevorBradley_> e.g. Google finds /node/1234, and tries node/1235
[19:19] <ikonia> c0mrade_: thank you.
[19:19] <apanda> ahoi. does anyone know how to disable "autoplay" for removable media for pcmanfm?
[19:19] <c0mrade_> Oh dear.
[19:19] <Ludipe> Hi! I had a few issues with the desktop manager in xubuntu before, I solved it but xfdesktop doesnt start by itself so i have to run it from a terminal and if i close the terminal my user session ends, how do i make xfdesktop autoexecute?
[19:19] <alkafoo> TrevorBradley_: I'm not aware of any behavior such as that
[19:19] <TrevorBradley_> I'm trying to find referring sites for these links and coming up blank, alkafoo... I'll keep looking then.
[19:19] <alkafoo> TrevorBradley_: it wouldn't surprise me if they check 1235, but I doubt they'd list it
[19:19] <c0mrade_> You must say: "STOP THAT YOU BA*****, DON'T SAY ANYTHING OFFTOPIC!!!"
[19:19] <alkafoo> TrevorBradley_: might ask #web
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> pikapika-: http://reboot.pro/11060/
[19:20]  * TrevorBradley_ goes off to puzzle and check logs.
[19:20] <TrevorBradley_> thanks.
[19:20] <grzegorz> hello
[19:20] <ActionParsnip> ikonia: not as quick as you used to be ;-)
[19:20] <alkafoo> pikapika-: if you use kvm, there's no need for a VHD, you can use an ordinary hard disk partition, virtualized
[19:20] <TrevorBradley_> Crap I though I was in #drupal, sorry folks!
[19:20] <alkafoo> grzegorz: hi
[19:21] <ikonia> ActionParsnip: chanserv was slow, sorry. I'll do better
[19:21] <Ludipe> Hi! I had a few issues with the desktop manager in xubuntu before, I solved it but xfdesktop doesnt start by itself so i have to run it from a terminal and if i close the terminal my user session ends, how do i make xfdesktop autoexecute?
[19:22] <ActionParsnip> Iko
[19:22] <ActionParsnip> ikonia: you do a sweet job dude, don't sweat it
[19:23] <paulus68> ActionParsnip: you both do great here
[19:24] <ActionParsnip> Cheers man
[19:25] <paulus68> ActionParsnip: I know I haven't been arround that much lately but when I am here and you guys (meaning you Ikonia Pici LJL) are there I know I get some good advice on how to solve my problems
[19:26] <paulus68> and that's really appreciated from my side
[19:27] <Saalko> !german
[19:28] <ActionParsnip> Ludipe: there are guides on how to get autologin without needing a login screen etc. You could even install slim or lxdm and login with that and have it set the desktop.
[19:31] <mateusz> halllo
[19:32] <mysticalone> I'm trying to install Zukitwo theme on Gnome3 but I'm getting confused by the GTK3 instructions
[19:32] <ActionParsnip> Paulus68: works both ways. I get so few issues with ubuntu i like to solve the issues so i can learn the OS. Otherwise i'd know very little
[19:32] <Webonaute> hi. how I run a process from root as an other user?
[19:32] <ActionParsnip> Webonaute: prefix the command with:  sudo
[19:33] <ActionParsnip> mysticalone: gnome3 isn't supported here
[19:33] <paulus68> ActionParsnip: but that's because you work with it 24/7 I use it occasionally unfortunatly since I depend on windows because of my work
[19:33] <Webonaute> ActionParsnip: I dont want to run the process as root.
[19:33] <Webonaute> but like it was www-data
[19:34] <llutz> Webonaute: sudo -u user   or su
[19:34] <ActionParsnip> paulus68: i mainly use win server 2k3 and ESX for work. Ubuntu just makes my home systems easier
[19:35] <ActionParsnip> Webonaute: as llutz says. You'll find examples online
[19:36] <ActionParsnip> paulus68: thanks for the grattitude. It makes a difference :-)
[19:37] <Webonaute> ty. su user - c will do the job I think
[19:37] <jazonn> is it possible to install to a loopfile on an ntfs partition?
[19:38] <sec> somebody knows how add more desktop in ubuntu 11.04 with unity? only I've 4 desktops
[19:38] <paulus68> ActionParsnip: unfortunatly there are still some windows applications that I need to give a good support to my customers and from time to time the lack of finding a descent driver for specific hardware( but it became better over the years,  I must admit)
[19:39] <jlstew> sec -- right click on the grid that shows your desktops (on your task bar), select preferences
[19:39] <jlstew> increase the numbers of columns and rows
[19:39] <gh0st> Is there an assembler like masm I can use on Ubuntu? I found "nasm" in the Ubuntu Software Center. Is that essentially the same thing?
[19:40] <Webonaute> any daemon exist for ubuntu to check the permission change on a direcotry?
[19:40] <TomSlominski> Hi. I've got a Samsung Galaxy S II and weirdly, it seems to be colliding with my wireless card. Only a full restart helps :(
[19:40] <dryad> !ops
[19:40] <LjL> dryad: yes?
[19:40] <jpds> dryad: Hello.

[19:43] <jazonn> is there a performance loss with using wubi?
[19:44] <D_Russ> ok so i just figured out and maybe i and wrong that my usb keyboard and mouse issues may not be belkin kvm related. Reason is becaus i unplugged them both from the kvm and plugged them direct to the buntu box and i still have the 3-5 minute delay before they start to work after a reboot
[19:44] <jpvoip> Helllo, im havin some issues with my notebook running ubutnu 11.04: it doesnt recognize my webcam and bluetooth.... what is the best approach to find and install the correct drivers?

[19:48] <macer1> jazonn, if you can install it without wubi, please do it...
[19:48] <genii-around> jazonn: Yes. there is a very comprehensive article on the subject at http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ubuntu_wubi_1010&num=1
[19:49] <sec> jlstew: any idea?
[19:49] <jlstew> sec: the app that is used for that is "Workspace Switcher"
[19:50] <jlstew> you might be able to do a search for it in the unity interface
[19:50] <yizzlegizzie> when i put my mouse over an audio file it use to play the file but now it does not I wonder why?

[19:56] <hellslinger> hello! does anyone know why grub isn't accepting my default option?
[19:56] <hellslinger> I've set /etc/default/grub to have my windows partition as my default, have run update-grub, but the default still appears to be the first thing in the grub list at boot
[19:57] <tonywade> hi
[19:59] <llutz> hellslinger: "default" doesn't change the order, it just places the cursor on the default-entry
[19:59] <tonywade> does anyone know how to install the latest assault cube from the website
[19:59] <hellslinger> llutz, unfortunately, it isn't even doing that for me
[19:59] <eduardoo> I've installed natty with homedir encrypted. It used to work for a week. No I cannot log in using gdm. I can log in into console. It's really sad...
[20:00] <jlstew> jpvoip: you from portugal? looks like that model comes prepackaged with Windows 7...you might verify that the bluetooth and wifi are functioning properly there first.
[20:00] <hellslinger> on launchpad, someone suggest a hack to change the os-prober in /etc/grub.d/ to a higher precedence
[20:00] <hellslinger> by changing it's name
[20:00] <robinbowes> Is there any particular reason visudo defaults to using nano as its editor?
[20:00] <eduardoo> I addem myself to nopasswdlogin group to overcome it.
[20:00] <llutz> hellslinger: yes, rename it to 08 or somewhat < linux-entries
[20:01] <hellslinger> llutz: I guess that'll work, I wish I didn't have to use a hack to make it work... oh well
[20:01] <eduardoo> Anybody can help me to debug this mess? I've seen some interesting things in /var/log/gdm
[20:01] <hellslinger> llutz, thanks
[20:02] <llutz> hellslinger: it'ss work since it finds your windows before it even checks for other (linux) OS
[20:03] <hellslinger> llutz, it's too bad GRUB_DEFAULT doesn't work
[20:03] <tarek_> hi there. I messend around with alsa and pulse audio, now my speakers won't mute when I plug in headphones and I lost my volume control applet. : ( — and advice?
[20:04] <llutz> hellslinger: file a bugreport, it should work
[20:04] <jpvoip> jlstew: Brasil... yes... it was working on win7...
[20:08] <magn3ts> Are the ubuntu apt servers down?
[20:08] <beefman> i'm trying to install pecl/json but keep getting "Cannot find config.m4" then a phpize error...  any ideas?
[20:09] <eypal> Sorrya again for asking but in case here is somebody from Canonical Ltd please could you send a private message for me. I do have something business stuff in my mind, a kind of checking up one thing on your website. Have been trying to email you but haven't gotten reply. Thank you so much.
[20:09] <llutz> eypal: canonical.com -> contact    is the better place for you
[20:09] <BarkingFish> magn3ts, they're working at this end -  what problems are you having?
[20:10] <magn3ts> BarkingFish, not sure, they 404'd four times in a row and then finally went through :S
[20:10] <magn3ts> might have been a hickup on the local network or somethign
[20:10] <BarkingFish> possibly your network connection might've been a bit slow and they timed out, magn3ts
[20:10] <BarkingFish> happened to me a few times on Wifi
[20:11] <jiltdil> I am recording video by desktop recorder but after recording it also gives some small noise how to fix this?
[20:12] <yeats> jiltdil: what kind of noise?  a low hum?
[20:12] <jiltdil> yeats:yes
[20:13] <yeats> jiltdil: it probably means your computer is not properly grounded
[20:13] <jiltdil> yeats: means you are talking about  electricity earhing
[20:13] <kumi> a
[20:14] <jiltdil> yeats:Any suggestion for me to do it better
[20:14] <yeats> jiltdil: you'll need to investigate your power setup (which is outside of #ubuntu support, unfortunately :-/ )
[20:14] <jiltdil> yeats: ok thanks
[20:14] <BarkingFish> jiltdil, you can check this, if you unplug your speakers from your speaker socket and touch the tip of the plug on any metal part of your case, do you hear a hum or buzz from your speakers?
[20:15] <BarkingFish> if so, you need to switch off your PC and speak to a technician about getting your case, board and equipment correctly grounded.
[20:15] <jiltdil> Barkingfish:yes
[20:16] <BarkingFish> I've had an earth leak in a PC previously, and it failed to fire my circuit breakers downstairs.  I wound up with a PC fire.
[20:16] <abbec> i have totally wrong date from php
[20:16] <jiltdil> barkingFish: hm this is right my house don't have earthing yet
[20:16] <BarkingFish> Get your machine tested at your earliest possible convenience
[20:16] <abbec> plus it have stopped
[20:17] <jazonn> can dd be used to backup a partition that is in use?
[20:17] <vikram> how make entry for wall paper in grub ??
[20:17] <jpvoip> jlstew any idea?
[20:18] <llutz> jazonn: no, it might have corupted data in resulting image
[20:18] <cdnjay> I know this isn't the right forum but Meg Whitman, CEO of HP, crazy...

[20:20] <CrazyLemon> hey guys. I tried to install 11.10 on APU A6-3650 (with integrated graphics) and the damn thing doesnt want to boot ..i installed it via alternative cd/usb . Tried to go into recovery mode but no go - it stops at 'Loading ...'
[20:20] <CrazyLemon> So any idea/hint ?
[20:25] <Jargonn> How can I create a DVD disk that will boot and allow me to install Mac, from ubuntu? I've got the DMG file, I bought it off the apple store.
[20:27] <cdnjay> Jargonn: What do you mean "from ubuntu"?
[20:28] <Jargonn> Like, what burning program should I use?
[20:29] <iceroot> Jargonn: brasero (installed by default), k3b
[20:29] <iceroot> Jargonn: but the best is not to use apple-products :)
[20:29] <cdnjay> Can brasero read dmg images?
[20:30] <iceroot> cdnjay: i guess he means img-files
[20:30] <zykotick9> cdnjay, i doubt it
[20:30] <Lobie1> Is this where I ask general Ubuntu questions?

[20:31] <cdnjay> Jargonn: Apple has a free utility to use for making a USB boot stick for Lion, is it possible for you to use that?

[20:35] <Odaym> is it possible to to upgrade from Ubuntu 10.04 to Kubuntu 10.10 if I have the latter's CD?
[20:36] <Gentoo64> i dont think so
[20:36] <Odaym> I don't either
[20:36] <Praet0rian> Odaym, yes
[20:36] <Odaym> it is? how?
[20:36] <Odaym> wait a minute
[20:36] <Praet0rian> Odaym, its not that difficut
[20:36] <Odaym> but needs 2 hours of hacking around
[20:36] <Odaym> ?
[20:36] <iceroot> Odaym: upgrade to 10.10 ubuntu and then install kubuntu-desktop
[20:37] <Odaym> I dont want 10.10 with Unity
[20:37] <Odaym> 10.10 doesn't have unity
[20:37] <iceroot> Odaym: 10.10 has gnome2
[20:37] <Odaym> yea
[20:37] <Praet0rian> Odaym, not, you simply keep your root systems and mount new ones
[20:37] <iceroot> Odaym: 11.10 is the first release without gnome
[20:37] <Praet0rian> 10.10 has unity
[20:37] <Gentoo64> id reinstall tbh
[20:37] <iceroot> Odaym: without gnome2
[20:37] <Odaym> when  I go to the update manager, I only get the option to upgrade to 11.04
[20:37] <iceroot> Praet0rian: and gnome2
[20:37] <eduardoo> I cannot log in into gdm despite my passwd is OK. I use encrypted home. To log in into gdm I had to add myself nopasswdlogin and log in into console to force decryption of my home. Any body can help me to debug it further ?
[20:38] <Omni_Lynk> Anyone know a good program that can setup an ISO to a USB Thumb/Pen Drive? Every version i've found so far wants me to go w/ a CD instead of the Thumbdrive i have.

[20:38] <KM0201> Omni_Lynk: for windows?
[20:38] <Praet0rian> iceroot, irrelevnat, gnome can be installed ad an alternate WM

[20:38] <xhazk> hi
[20:38] <KM0201> have no idea about vmware
[20:38] <Praet0rian> iceroot> Praet0rian: and gnome2
[20:39] <Praet0rian> you asked
[20:39] <iceroot> Praet0rian: gnome2 is installed by default on every ubuntu-system until 11.04
[20:39]  * Praet0rian is VMware expert
[20:39] <Praet0rian> ask away about VMware
[20:39] <Omni_Lynk> KM0201, I have the ISO, just need a program that will burn it to my Thumbdrive.
[20:39] <KM0201> Omni_Lynk: why do you need a usb (or CD for that mater) for vmware.. just boot directly from the ISO.
[20:39] <Praet0rian> iceroot, not if specified otehrwise
[20:39] <Praet0rian> installer will not if asked
[20:39] <llutz> Omni_Lynk: hybrid-iso? use dd. if no hybrid, use unetbootin
[20:39] <iceroot> Praet0rian: you know what "by default" means?
[20:39] <Praet0rian> do you iceroot
[20:40] <Praet0rian> default means its compiled
[20:40] <iceroot> Praet0rian: what?
[20:40] <Praet0rian> you have the option NOT to

[20:40] <iceroot> Praet0rian: i dont think you get the topic of the discussion
[20:40] <Omni_Lynk> KM0201, how do you boot directly from the ISO?
[20:41] <KM0201> Omni_Lynk: it's an option under the settings.
[20:41] <KM0201> i know its there, but i don't use vmware so not 100% sure
[20:41] <KM0201> but its there.
[20:41] <Praet0rian> iceroot, I been using just about every flavour of Linux ever distributed, I think I know my nix but thanks for your concern
[20:41] <Omni_Lynk> KM0201, i have not installed it yet. it is going on a clean hard drive..
[20:41] <KM0201> Omni_Lynk: i thought you said you were using vmware
[20:42] <iceroot> Odaym: back to topic, you canm use gnome2 with 10.10
[20:42] <Gentoo64> Omni_Lynk, is it just for booting an os?
[20:42] <iceroot> !classic | Odaym
[20:42] <Odaym> I know I can
[20:42] <Omni_Lynk> KM0201, i will be, i've downloaded the ISO, but cannot get it to start up on my thumb drive.
[20:42] <Odaym> but it breaks, just like Unity
[20:42] <iceroot> Odaym: why?
[20:42] <Polah> Praet0rian, it is completely unnecessary for you to take that attitude here.
[20:42] <Gentoo64> Omni_Lynk, for virtualbox / vmware just choose the iso..
[20:42] <Odaym> I don't know why it keeps breaking
[20:42] <KM0201> Omni_Lynk: why are you tryig to start it on a USB< if you want to install it in vmware?.. all you have to do is boot the ISO in vmware.. thats my point.
[20:43] <Praet0rian> Polah, no attitude
[20:43] <Praet0rian> just hleping
[20:43] <D_Russ> anyone good with mouse issues?
[20:43] <Odaym> not my first run at Ubuntu, I ran away and came back
[20:43] <Odaym> :P
[20:43] <D_Russ> keyboard and mouse
[20:43] <Praet0rian> if I seem brass forgive me
[20:43] <Odaym> ran away when Unity came around
[20:43] <Polah> Praet0rian, your last comment seems pretty close to "I'm better than you".
[20:43] <Omni_Lynk> KM0201,  So i should just run the ISO in Ubuntu and install it into the clean Hard drive?
[20:43] <Praet0rian> not at all Polah
[20:43] <iceroot> Odaym:  i would suggest to do the upgrade and if there are any issues fell free to get help here
[20:43] <Praet0rian> I am no better than anyone
[20:43] <KM0201> Omni_Lynk: you're making no sense... i can't make heads or tails of what you're wanting to do.
[20:43] <Praet0rian> I just love linux ;-)
[20:44] <KM0201> Omni_Lynk: vmware, installs to a virtual drive, not a hard drive.
[20:44] <Gentoo64> i thin most people here like linux... lol
[20:44] <D_Russ> i love playing with all the free software
[20:44] <D_Russ> but i just wish things would work without issue
[20:44] <Gentoo64> D_Russ, what mouse issues?
[20:44] <Odaym> that's not how life is
[20:44] <Odaym> so don't expect it to be that way with software :P
[20:45] <IdleOne> chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic please.
[20:45] <Odaym> there are ALWAYS issues, and if you don't see the small ones, fear the bigger ones
[20:45] <D_Russ> whenGentoo64: mouse and keyboard dont work for 3-5 minutes on restart of natty
[20:45] <Omni_Lynk> KM0201, So VMware does not run first, you boot from the OS, then into VMWare?
[20:45] <Praet0rian> Was someone asking about VMWare earlier?
[20:45] <D_Russ> Gentoo64: mouse and keyboard dont work for 3-5 minutes on restart of natty
[20:45] <Gentoo64> D_Russ, thats a hard one...
[20:45] <Gentoo64> try dmesg when they start working
[20:45] <Gentoo64> see if anything obvious comes up
[20:46] <KM0201> Omni_Lynk: sorry.... i have no idea what you're asking, you're gonna have to ask questions that make sense, in order to get help
[20:46] <D_Russ> what is that
[20:46] <D_Russ> dmesg in the terminal?
[20:46] <Gentoo64> D_Russ, just type dmesg in terminal
[20:46] <Gentoo64> yes
[20:46] <Praet0rian> Easier way to view dmesg is in system settings, just a tip
[20:46] <D_Russ> ok let me try that now
[20:46] <Praet0rian> more readable
[20:46] <Omni_Lynk> KM0201, k then..
[20:47] <Omni_Lynk> Anyone know of a program that will burn an ISO to a Thumbdrive instead of a CD/DVD
[20:47] <Gentoo64> Omni_Lynk, unetbootin
[20:47] <llutz> Omni_Lynk: hybrid-iso? use dd. if no hybrid, use unetbootin
[20:47] <Gentoo64> theres quite a few
[20:47] <D_Russ> where is it in system settings?
[20:47] <KM0201> Omni_Lynk: unetbootin
[20:47] <Gentoo64> D_Russ, idk about the system settings thing. just type dmesg in terminal
[20:49] <D_Russ> what am i looking for?
[20:50] <Gentoo64> D_Russ, most of the errors are obvious
[20:50] <Gentoo64> look for mouse / keyboard / usb stuff
[20:50] <Gentoo64> or pastebin dmesg
[20:51] <D_Russ> type pastebin dmesg?
[20:52] <draco_> hi
[20:52] <adwait_sharma> draco_:hi
[20:52] <D_Russ> hello
[20:52] <Mike33> anyone know a page to help generate a gig key for my companies apt repo so I don't get the "WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!"
[20:53] <warfaren> can i somehow make a key combination always be sent to my desktop manager?
[20:53] <adwait_sharma> how can i get a Developer account of Ubuntu?
[20:53] <rww> adwait_sharma: what do you mean by "developer account"?
[20:53] <D_Russ> i would paste it here but its just way too much
[20:54] <D_Russ> and i dont really understand it. however i do see mention of both keyboard and mouse
[20:54] <adwait_sharma> rww:i want to contribute Ubuntu community
[20:54] <iceroot> !paste | D_Russ

[20:54] <iceroot> adwait_sharma: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SponsorshipProcess
[20:54] <warfaren> i mean if i'm running a fullscreen application and press CTRL+ALT+left/right to switch desktop it does not do that because the fullscreen app is stealing the input
[20:54] <adwait_sharma> rww:Thanks :)
[20:55] <adwait_sharma> ubottu:thanks

[20:57] <Omni_Lynk> Gentoo64, KM0201, llutz, Thank you all for your help, Unetbootin worked wonders.
[20:58] <tonywade> can any 1 help me?
[20:58] <iceroot> tonywade: depending on your question
[20:58] <Polah> Mike33: You can use gpg --gen-key to generate a key pair, then I believe you need to output the public key to a file, but I don't know exactly how to configure the repository to use that key file for signing
[20:58] <Polah> tonywade: It's quite likely.
[20:58] <Tophan> hi
[20:58] <iceroot> Mike33: the packages are signed with a key, that key needs to get imported on client-side
[20:59] <iceroot> Mike33: the repo itself doesnt have a key, just the packages
[20:59] <D_Russ> what do i do after i have used the pastebin
[20:59] <warfaren> send that link to someone?
[20:59] <D_Russ> ok
[20:59] <Polah> iceroot: Isn't the key information supplied by the repository? I recall when using add-apt-repository it pulls some signing information
[20:59] <warfaren> that's why you upload something to pastebin, right?
[20:59] <tonywade> i would like to download the new version of assultcube but it is not on the software centre what do i do?
[21:00] <Polah> iceroot: i.e. the packages are signed individually but the repository is configured to tell the client that all packages are signed with x key?
[21:00] <iceroot> Polah: the packages are signed with a key, the key can be stored in the repo or is part of a package (ubuntu-keyring e.g.)
[21:00] <iceroot> Polah: imo
[21:00] <tonywade> hello?
[21:01] <Tophan> I installed Ubuntu 11.10 and then gnome-shell
[21:01] <Tophan> can I change LightDM to start Gnome3 instead of Unity?
[21:01] <adwait_sharma> I'm planning to conduct a Ubuntu Party in my University
[21:01] <rww> Tophan: #ubuntu+1 for oneiric questions until it's released, please
[21:01] <adwait_sharma> can someone tell me how can i get swags for it?
[21:01] <iceroot> D_Russ: [   31.600037] usb 1-3: device descriptor read/64, error -110   this seems to be the issue for your mouse/keyboard-problems
[21:01] <rww> !notunity-#ubuntu+1 | Tophan: but anyway
[21:02] <Praet0rian> anyone use BitchX?
[21:02] <D_Russ> iceroot:; so do i google that line
[21:02] <tonywade> i would like to download assualt cube what do i do?
[21:02] <Polah> tonywade: I see "AssaultCube" in the repos but no "AssultCube", is that perhaps what you're looking for?
[21:02] <iceroot> Praet0rian: its no longer supported
[21:02] <tonywade> yes thats it
[21:02] <D_Russ> or is there a newbie dictionary for that error
[21:02] <Praet0rian> yea iceroot that stinks but I still use it
[21:02] <rww> !bitchx | Praet0rian
[21:03] <rww> i.e., we don't support it here :P
[21:03] <iceroot> D_Russ: does other usb hardware is also not available during that time of 3-5 minutes?
[21:03] <Praet0rian> ubottu, yea, I noticed that a long time ago, just wanted to know if anyone uses it
[21:03] <D_Russ> i have not tested anything else
[21:03] <ih20i> Where would I ask for help with LAMP?
[21:03] <Praet0rian> BAH!
[21:03] <D_Russ> only other item is the printer
[21:03] <Praet0rian> lol
[21:03] <rww> ih20i: here or #ubuntu-server
[21:03] <iceroot> ih20i: depending on the question
[21:03] <Polah> ih20i: Here for Ubuntu, or #httpd, #php, #mysql for each part.
[21:04] <IdleOne> Praet0rian: keep to support in this channel if you are in the mood for chatting you are welcome to join #ubuntu-offtopic
[21:04] <tonywade> how do u download the new edition of assaultcube?
[21:04] <D_Russ> iceroot: only thing else is the printer. it works but i have not tested during the period that my KB and mouse dont work
[21:04] <Polah> tonywade: sudo apt-get install assaultcube
[21:04] <iceroot> D_Russ: how often does it happen?
[21:04] <ih20i> I installed Apache2 before someone pointed me at lamp.  Then I grabbed that.  localhost works but myphpadmin doesn't.
[21:05] <Praet0rian> thanks for the tip IdleOne
[21:05] <toddnine> Hi guys.  My ~/.xsession-errors.old was 1.2 T this morning.  Is there any way to turn off the logging to this file?
[21:05] <D_Russ> iceroot: every restart without fail
[21:05] <ih20i> Guides online say to go to a directory that my computer doesn't have.   Should be accessible through http://localhost/phpmyadmin if it's running
[21:05] <tonywade> ? sorry im a newbe to this so if you could say that in simpler english that would be great
[21:05] <D_Russ> iceroot: it works perfectly after that 3-5 minutes have passes
[21:05] <D_Russ> well almost perfectly
[21:05] <iceroot> D_Russ: so its only at the start?
[21:05] <Polah> ih20i: /var/www/phpmyadmin doesn't exist, but it should be there if you go through a browser
[21:05] <Praet0rian> iceroot, whay would you need that mod
[21:05] <ih20i> Ahhh
[21:06] <D_Russ> iceroot: yes
[21:06] <Polah> tonywade: Run the command: sudo apt-get install assaultcube    in a terminal, type in your password and hit y when it prompts you for y/n
[21:06] <D_Russ> only on reboot
[21:06] <Praet0rian> I do not believe thats neccessary when you use tasksel install lamp-server
[21:06] <ih20i> That should get me there thanks.
[21:06] <Praet0rian> ih20i, just use tasksel
[21:06] <Praet0rian> wills et everything up fo ryou
[21:06] <iceroot> Praet0rian: ih20i its not /var/www/phpmyadmin  its handled with an apache alias which is controled with a2enmode (also see /etc/apache2/sites-available/)
[21:06] <iceroot> Praet0rian: wrong nick
[21:06] <adwait_sharma> I'm planning to conduct a Ubuntu Party in my University
[21:06] <iceroot> Polah: see above
[21:06] <adwait_sharma> can someone tell me how can i get swags for it?
[21:06] <Polah> iceroot: I've done apt-get install phpmyadmin and had it run without needing to then enable it with apache
[21:07] <Praet0rian> iceroot, I know, all you ahve to do is edit hosts file and create a virtual host
[21:07] <iceroot> Polah: hm on debian it needs to be enabled, maybe ubuntu is generating that symlink automaticly
[21:07] <Praet0rian> no need for any mod
[21:07] <sogeking99> hey guys, i have the visual boy advanced emulator of the software centre, my rom runs with a frame rate thats to high and sound is speeded up
[21:07] <Polah> iceroot: It was Ubuntu 10.04 the last time I set it up and phpmyadmin ran after just installing through apt
[21:07] <Praet0rian> I have this config running as we speak
[21:07] <iceroot> Polah: but its not in /var/www  its a apache-alias
[21:08] <adwait_sharma> ?
[21:08] <Praet0rian> /var/www is default virtual host btw
[21:08] <Polah> iceroot: I know there isn't any /var/www/phpmyadmin directory, I said it doesn't exist. But phpmyadmin is accessible through address/phpmyadmin
[21:08] <iceroot> Praet0rian: again, you are missing the topic
[21:08] <Praet0rian> yea sorry
[21:08] <Praet0rian> used to chatting
[21:08] <Praet0rian> lol
[21:08] <D_Russ> iceroot: i have a kvm hooked up aswell but i get the same problem on restart even if i plugg the KB & mouse up directly, i even tried a restart with them plugged in directly and no luck
[21:08] <iceroot> Polah: correct
[21:09] <Polah> Praet0rian, edit hosts file? Apache sites are handled through the sites directory in /etc/apache2
[21:09] <iceroot> D_Russ: does the mouse get power? or the keyboard? are the leds on?
[21:09] <Praet0rian> Polah, I was referring to creating you OWN host instead of using localhost
[21:09] <Praet0rian> much easier
[21:09] <iceroot> Praet0rian: virtualhost has nothing to do with localhost
[21:10] <Polah> Pret0rian: Using another domaine name instead of "localhost"?
[21:10] <Praet0rian> I know iceroot
[21:10] <Praet0rian> localhost is defined in hosts file definig your machine
[21:10] <Praet0rian> along with your host
[21:10] <Praet0rian> eg mine is singularity
[21:10] <melroy> I got a laptop with Nvidia optimus
[21:10] <D_Russ> iceroot: the mouse is wireless so yes the light is on but the keyboard is usb powered and no the numlock light does not come on nor does the caps lock light furing that period
[21:11] <iceroot> D_Russ: sounds like a hardware-issue for me
[21:11] <Praet0rian> Polah yes
[21:11] <Praet0rian> anohter domain name
[21:11] <Praet0rian> ANY one you want
[21:11] <Webonaute> anyone know the official chanel for OpenOffice?
[21:11] <Praet0rian> set it in hosts file in /etc than specify whatever domain you want
[21:11] <iceroot> D_Russ: sounds like the usb ports are disabled and get no power
[21:11] <melroy> is there any news about nvidia optimus? So are nvidia and Ubuntu implementing nvidia optimus gfx cards?
[21:11] <iceroot> Webonaute: #openoffice.org
[21:11] <iceroot> !alis | Webonaute
[21:11] <Praet0rian> then create a Virtual  host for that namebased VH
[21:12] <Webonaute> ty
[21:12] <Praet0rian> that was to you polah
[21:12] <Praet0rian> I will be more than happy to walk you through in prvt
[21:12] <D_Russ> iceroot: as in KB & mouse? or as in motherboard? only thing is that ubuntu is on a partition, and when i run windows on the other partition i have no issues. so there must be a setting in ubuntu thats not sending the dignal fast enough
[21:12] <alphanobdy> hello
[21:13] <iceroot> D_Russ: ah ok interesting point with windows
[21:13] <Polah> Praet0rian: Sure, but that would only apply on the local computer would it not, thus just using http://localhost is fairly simple, without needing to set up another name. Other systems would still need to use the IP or a domain name provided by an actual DNS server.
[21:13] <alphanobdy> can anyone help me format a usb pen drive to fat 32            i only seem to have the optoin for fat and ext.....
[21:13] <alphanobdy> want to creat a bootable usb and says i need fat32
[21:13] <mcmuffin> I have two monitors that work fine, but they are on the same workspace. I want to be able to switch to any workspace on any screen. Using Gnome 2.32.1, have an nvidia card with the nouveau driver
[21:13] <Praet0rian> yes Polah, but what happens sometimes is that services screw up with locahost, and yes for local development only
[21:13] <alphanobdy> and i use anyother?
[21:13] <Praet0rian> Polah and also yes you will need DNS for a public domain
[21:14] <Praet0rian> but still use Namebased virtual hsoting
[21:14] <iceroot> D_Russ: i cant find any usefull results in google for error -100, only for error -71
[21:14] <Polah> Praet0rian: Never heard of services not being able to handle localhost, but for a private development server I don't see why you'd go through the effort of setting up a domain name rather than just typing localhost which is already there, or <IP_ADDRESS> which is fairly easy to remember
[21:14] <Polah> alphanobdy: What are you trying to boot from USB that requires FAT32?
[21:15] <Praet0rian> because polah, with localhost you are restricted to ONE directory of development
[21:15] <Praet0rian> polah say I want multiple versions of app testing
[21:15] <Praet0rian> polah, nice to have multitple points of testing
[21:15] <D_Russ> iceroot: thanks for looking i appreciate the help
[21:15] <Praet0rian> imho
[21:15] <iceroot> Polah: there is an application which handles <IP_ADDRESS> different then localhost (doesnt matter if there is <IP_ADDRESS> localhost in /etc/hosts) the application is mysql but for apache there is no difference
[21:15] <alphanobdy> Polah: BT5 but i read most any os will need to be on a fat32drive
[21:15] <Polah> Praet0rian: Oh, I see what you're saying now. Yes, I guess it would make sense to have multiple names pointing to multiple local sites.
[21:15] <Praet0rian> and alo if you are running an internal devel server, other users will need their own web directory
[21:16] <tonywade> polah i cant get it to work
[21:16] <Praet0rian> hence multiple personalized domains for internal devel Poloah
[21:16] <Praet0rian> Polah **
[21:16] <iceroot> D_Russ: sorry that i cant help more
[21:17] <Praet0rian> Polah, that is the real power of Vhosting ;-)
[21:17] <Praet0rian> Proof of concept Polah is when running localhost, try to run Nessus, never work because you ahve to generate SSL cert
[21:17] <atari2600a> hey
[21:18] <atari2600a> what's up with the ocelot wallpapers?
[21:18] <tonywade> polah: i acnt get it to work
[21:18] <D_Russ> iceroot: no problem thanks for attempting. if i lick this problem i will be sure to post it in the forums. Funnything is that it worked good when i first installed natty with wubi, then it started acting up in wubi, so i did a partition install and same problem.
[21:18] <Polah> alphanobdy: I assume you mean BackTrack 5? That's unsupported here, you could use any filesystem really. I believe FAT is recommended because it's non-journaling (I could be wrong) and widely supported by multiple OSes (Windows only supports NTFS and FAT natively, so anything like extX wouldn't be readable by default for example)
[21:18] <Polah> tonywade: What do you mean you can't get it to work?
[21:19] <alphanobdy> ty Polah
[21:19] <iceroot> D_Russ: sounds good with the forum
[21:19] <iceroot> D_Russ: and the current system is a real installation on hardware?
[21:19] <sogeking99> hey guys, i have the visual boy advanced emulator of the software centre, my rom runs with a frame rate thats to high and sound is speeded up
[21:19] <D_Russ> yes
[21:19] <D_Russ> partition install
[21:19] <tonywade> i ran the command but it anly shows up a load of gibberish
[21:20] <NeedSomeHelp> hello
[21:20] <D_Russ> iceroot: yes its currently a full install on a 100gb partition
[21:20] <Praet0rian> Hi NeedSomeHelp
[21:20] <tensorpudding> sogeking99: this isn't really a place for help with that
[21:20] <tensorpudding> sogeking99: maybe check the forums or discussion page for that app
[21:20] <Polah> tonywade: That's apt reading packages and such like. The last line should be a prompt asking for confirmation to install as "y/n", enter y and it'll install
[21:20] <triunenature> test
[21:21] <NeedSomeHelp> I have installed Wine and a windows-program in ubuntu, and it works fine. But how can I run two instances of that windows-program? If I try to open a new instance of the win-app with wine, it just takes me to instance 1.
[21:21] <Praet0rian> NeedSomeHelp, multiple installes of Wine
[21:21] <Polah> triunenature, 95/100, A*
[21:21] <iceroot> D_Russ: ok
[21:21] <NeedSomeHelp> Praet0rian: how do i install another copy of Wine with synaptic ?
[21:22] <iceroot> NeedSomeHelp: depending on the windows-program if it allows two instances
[21:22] <Praet0rian> NeedSomeHelp, you dont use synaptic, you use source
[21:22] <triunenature> Hey, when i plug in a ethernet cord into my laptop ( RJ-45 Cat53) My Nic doesn't light up at all.  I know the cord works, because it works with my other computers, and I know my network is up, because... well im talking in IRC...
[21:22] <triunenature> cat5e*
[21:22] <Praet0rian> triunenature, no drivers
[21:22] <Praet0rian> maybe lighs just burn out
[21:22] <Gentoo64> no drivers would mean it wouldnt work
[21:22] <NeedSomeHelp> iceroot: I think the win-program doesnt allow more than one instance (like many windows programs), but I want to bypass that somehow.
[21:23] <Praet0rian> Gentoo64, yea I caught that
[21:23] <Praet0rian> did think he was using it
[21:23] <NeedSomeHelp> Praet0rian: please explain in more details :)
[21:23] <Praet0rian> didnt*
[21:23] <iceroot> NeedSomeHelp: wine is not the problem, it can start more then one copy
[21:23] <Gentoo64> NeedSomeHelp, you cant install wine twice
[21:23] <triunenature> Might i ask the obvious, how does one install drivers on ubuntu?  Second, i doubt its just the lights because nothing works when i plug it in.  wifi works great though
[21:23] <rodriesp> hi, excuse me, when will the Beta 2 of 11.10 be released?
[21:23] <Gentoo64> and that would be a stupid workaround
[21:23] <rodriesp> today?
[21:23] <Praet0rian> NeedSomeHelp, iceroot is correct, but I thought you wanted to run simultanious wine
[21:24] <Praet0rian> Gentoo64, of course you can
[21:24] <Praet0rian> want to see me do it in a video
[21:24] <Gentoo64> in different dirs
[21:24] <NeedSomeHelp> I want to run simultanious two instances of the same windows-program that i'm running through wine
[21:24] <Praet0rian> NeedSomeHelp, then click on the app twice
[21:24] <Gentoo64> Praet0rian, your not even reading peoples questions, but answering lol
[21:24] <Praet0rian> Of course I am Gentoo64
[21:25] <Gentoo64> ...
[21:25] <triunenature> rodriesp, #ubuntu+1 is for future releases
[21:25] <Praet0rian> Gentoo64, lets just be friends
[21:25] <Praet0rian> ;-)
[21:25] <ssma> hey i want to use netflix in ubuntu and tells me that doe snot work
[21:25] <NeedSomeHelp> Praet0rian: I did, but the second time I try to open it (to open a second instance), it just takes me to the first instance
[21:25] <Gentoo64> trying to troll or something?
[21:25] <rodriesp> oh, thanks triunenature, going there
[21:26] <Praet0rian> NeedSomeHelp, and easy way to run apps wine twice would be to type wine (app) from the command line
[21:26] <Praet0rian> this shoudl create a seperate process
[21:26] <NeedSomeHelp> Praet0rian: tried, no luck
[21:27] <Gentoo64> NeedSomeHelp, what app is it anyway?
[21:27] <Praet0rian> NeedSomeHelp, just open terminal and goto your windows wine folder, find the notepad exe and type wine notepad
[21:27] <IdleOne> NeedSomeHelp: maybe ask in #winehq
[21:27] <Praet0rian> if you want to run notepad that it
[21:27] <Praet0rian> is*
[21:27] <Praet0rian> NeedSomeHelp, I do not think that you are correctly doing this lol
[21:28] <dashavoo> anyone know what ports need to be open for video / sound to work with jabber in empathy?
[21:29] <Praet0rian> dashavoo, http://linuxcrunch.com/content/how-use-empathy-messenger
[21:29] <Praet0rian> contains ports
[21:29] <LmAt> My system menu is gone, how do I get it back?
[21:29] <LmAt> The launcher is there, but it's not as helpful I think.
[21:30] <otak> ssma: Never tried but I heard that too on klaatu's podcast.
[21:30] <Praet0rian> LmAt, what WM you using
[21:30] <Praet0rian> Unity, Gnome straight?
[21:30] <Chlorek> hi there
[21:30] <LmAt> Praet0rian, How do I find out?
[21:30] <Chlorek> I need some opinions about 11.4
[21:31] <Praet0rian> LmAt, well what verions of ubuntu
[21:31] <Gentoo64> LmAt, did it have the bar on the side?
[21:31] <dashavoo> Praet0rian: I can't see the bit about ports on there, any hints about where in the page?
[21:31] <LmAt> Gentoo64, Yes, I have the bar on the side.
[21:31] <Gentoo64> unity then
[21:31] <LmAt> Gentoo64, I did something to make the bar show up, and I want it to go away.
[21:31] <Gentoo64> LmAt, at login choose classic
[21:31] <Gentoo64> from a dropdown box
[21:31] <LmAt> Gentoo64, Thanks.
[21:32] <LmAt> Gentoo64, There is no such list.
[21:32] <LmAt> Gentoo64, oh
[21:32] <LmAt> Gentoo64, I think I see it at the bottom.
[21:32] <Praet0rian> dashavoo, are you trying to configure router or firewall
[21:32] <LmAt> Gentoo64, Jackpot!  You can not know how excited I am!
[21:33] <Gentoo64> cool
[21:33] <Praet0rian> Gentoo64, was he using unity
[21:33] <Gentoo64> yes
[21:33] <Praet0rian> ahh
[21:33] <Praet0rian> just curious
[21:34] <Gentoo64> why the hell are they even continuing development of unity if everyone hates it
[21:34] <dashavoo> Praet0rian: router
[21:34] <Praet0rian> Gentoo64, I like unity
[21:34] <dashavoo> well, router's firewall
[21:34] <Praet0rian> lol
[21:34] <macer1> Gentoo64: use something else
[21:34] <Gentoo64> i dont use unity
[21:34] <Gentoo64> just saying
[21:34] <Praet0rian> dashavoo, have you tried DMZ on your router to see if you got things setup corretly to run?
[21:34] <r3pek> hey guys, what's the correct way to request a version bump to a package?
[21:34] <Gentoo64> the majority of people just want it gone
[21:34] <Praet0rian> Gentoo64, I like the quick search
[21:34] <Polah> Gentoo64: Because not everyone hates it. Use whatever DE you want, you're not forced to use it.
[21:35] <dashavoo> Praet0rian: I was just thinking about doing that, I'll come back if I still need help ;), thanks
[21:35] <Praet0rian> np
[21:36] <Praet0rian> crap I should have told him about TCP view to see outgoing ports
[21:36] <dashavoo> Praet0rian: tell me now
[21:36] <Praet0rian> I forgot is wireshark shows ports or not
[21:36] <Praet0rian> hang on lemme check something
[21:37] <anth0ny> I'm having trouble scp'ing some files, I keep getting "scp: ambiguous target" even though I know the path is right.  here's the command: scp -r /home/anthony/Music/Al\ Green tony@server.com:/My\ Music/ . I know the directory /My\ Music/ is there (although it's a symlink) and the command works as scp -r /home/anthony/Music/Al\ Green<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[21:37] <Praet0rian> YES dashavoo
[21:37] <Praet0rian> get wireshark and run your stuff, it will tell you waht ports are attempting ot be used
[21:37] <dashavoo> Praet0rian: good idea, thanks
[21:37] <Praet0rian> np
[21:38] <yeats> anth0ny: try rsync
[21:38] <Praet0rian> remember to run as sudo
[21:38] <dashavoo> Praet0rian: I know ;)
[21:38] <Praet0rian> ;-)
[21:38] <Gentoo64> should be run as its own user tbh
[21:38] <Praet0rian> Gentoo64, is right but for quick stuff...well up to you
[21:39] <dashavoo> yeah, I can never be bothered
[21:39] <Praet0rian> dashavoo, give me root, lets test that theory
[21:39] <Praet0rian> heheh
[21:39] <anth0ny> yeats: yeah?  i mean, this is well within the purpose of scp, why use rsync?
[21:39] <dashavoo> Praet0rian: haha, nah. Don't think I will ;)
[21:39]  * Praet0rian used rsync quite a bit
[21:40] <Praet0rian> little not about rsync, IT DOES NOT maintain permissions
[21:40] <propman> anth0ny:   have you tried putting quotes around the directory path.  the spaces in the path you quoted above may be the cause of the problem
[21:41] <yeats> anth0ny: propman is right - the spaces in the dir names are probably the issue - rsync is my preferred way of doing what you're doing, but that's up to you
[21:41] <anth0ny> propman: Bingo!  that did it, thanks!
[21:41] <anth0ny> yeats: I'll take a look at rsync, not familiar with it
[21:42] <Gentoo64> lol the backslashes always get people
[21:42] <cdavis> Does the deja dup schedule require that I keep deja-dup running?
[21:42] <propman> anth0ny:  good to hear :)
[21:42] <yeats> anth0ny: basic usage: 'rsync -av /sourcepath /destinationpath'
[21:43] <maujhsn> Can somebody please answer this question: Can a package from ubuntu 11.10 be downloaded and run in ubuntu 10.04?
[21:43] <jrib> maujhsn: sometimes, but you should never do so.  Why do you want to know?
[21:43] <Praet0rian> maujhsn, I dont see why not
[21:43] <dashavoo> maujhsn: it might work, it might not
[21:43] <Polah> Praet0rian, there's a flag to keep permissions.
[21:43] <Praet0rian> Polah, SH** lol
[21:43] <Praet0rian> didnt know that
[21:44] <Polah> Praet0rian: --perms or -p I believe (:
[21:44] <Praet0rian> was syncing a solaris box
[21:44] <maujhsn>  jrib i was given bad advice!
[21:44] <Praet0rian> omg thats awesome
[21:44] <jrib> maujhsn: ?
[21:44] <Polah> Praet0rian, also flags to keep owner and group
[21:44] <Praet0rian> cool Polah
[21:44] <Praet0rian> Polah, yea that would be correct cept sync with Solaris, not same users or perms
[21:46] <kylefox> I need to enable multiverse -- I know how to do it manually (editing /etc/apt/sources.list) but I'm wondering if there's a way I can automate it through a script
[21:47] <Praet0rian> kylefox, sure
[21:47] <Praet0rian> kylefox, easy shell script to echo your text to the sources list
[21:47] <maujhsn> Can somebody please answer this question: Can a package from ubuntu 11.10 be downloaded and run in ubuntu 10.04? If the repository is added to the sources list?
[21:48] <Praet0rian> maujhsn, they already answered that
[21:48] <kylefox> Praet0rian: oh ... I never thought of that
[21:48] <Praet0rian> ;-)
[21:48] <maujhsn> OK
[21:48] <kylefox> just `echo <source> >> file`
[21:48] <Praet0rian> kylefox, it depends what shell you're using
[21:49] <Praet0rian> bash?
[21:49] <Praet0rian> cash. zsh?
[21:49] <Praet0rian> csh*
[21:49] <Element9> how can I minimize the Empathy to the indicator applet or anywhere in the panels?
[21:50] <Praet0rian> click X Element9
[21:50] <Praet0rian> will not close it
[21:52] <Element9> Praet0rian: oh, it closed it :)
[21:52] <Praet0rian> kylefox, to send text to a file simply do this: echo '<string>' >> <filename>
[21:52] <Praet0rian> Element9, sorry thought you were using Unity
[21:52] <Praet0rian> Unity will minimize
[21:53] <wm4eo> hi
[21:53] <Element9> click on X on Contact List window of the Empathy will minimize it to indicator applet but not on window with chat rooms
[21:53] <Element9> Any way to do it on 10.10?
[21:53] <wm4eo> can any body help me with voice problem in ubuntu?
[21:54] <Praet0rian> Element9, sry not sure on that one
[21:54] <Praet0rian> wm4eo, just ask your question
[21:54] <Element9> Praet0rian: ok, no problem. thanks
[21:54] <wm4eo> the microphone is not working
[21:54] <Praet0rian> np
[21:54] <RnaGwaha> helllo anyone knows whats the brazilian ubuntu chan?
[21:55] <wm4eo> not in skype not in yahoo not in any ware
[21:55] <Praet0rian> wm4eo, open your sound settings and see what your input device is
[21:55] <triunenature> So i asked eariler, but if my NIC driver isn't working, how can i install/reinstall my NIC driver?
[21:56] <wm4eo> infact i am from windows now but i did and its not changing
[21:56] <Praet0rian> triunenature, how do you know your driver isnt working
[21:56] <triunenature> I don't for sure.  What I do know it, that the lights on my NIC don't light up when i plug in my cable, and i know my cable is good
[21:57] <triunenature> RJ-45 Cat5e
[21:57] <wm4eo> i've put external microphone and no one worked
[21:57] <ikonia> triunenature: the lights would come on even without a driver, or OS
[21:57] <ikonia> triunenature: if the lights are not coming on it's either a.) hardware issue b.) hardware issue at the other end c.) cable
[21:57] <Polah> !br | RnaGwaha
[21:58] <Praet0rian> wm4eo, try other things
[21:58] <wm4eo> like what?
[21:58] <triunenature> well, since when i plug the same cable into other computers, it lights up, I can assume both b and c are void
[21:58] <triunenature> That leaves me with hardware issue...
[21:58] <Praet0rian> wm4eo, there are no other options in the dropdown?
[21:59] <Praet0rian> to tell you the truth I still dont have a working MIC on my old Toshiba, but My alienware M17x works fine
[22:00] <wm4eo> i tryed every one nothing changed i even format my labtop and reinstel it and its not working
[22:00] <Praet0rian> wm4eo, have you tried the MIC port
[22:00] <wm4eo> yep
[22:00] <Hobart> What channel would be appropriate for issues seen when testing out Oneric on MacTel hw ?  (liveCD hangs)
[22:00] <triunenature> ikonia, any idea on how to confirm hardware issues?
[22:00] <Praet0rian> wm4eo, you have no internal MIC?
[22:00] <rww> Hobart: #ubuntu+1
[22:00] <Hobart> rww -> thx
[22:00] <Terabyte> what's wrong with this upstart script pair? http://pastebin.com/eJDHK1a1
[22:00] <wm4eo> i have one and i use it every day in my windows 7
[22:00] <Terabyte> memcached script won't autostart
[22:01] <ikonia> triunenature: well, is ubuntu the only OS on this machine ?
[22:01] <soulfulstrut> hello
[22:01] <triunenature> Yeppers
[22:01] <ikonia> triunenature: does lights light up on the other end (switch ?)
[22:01] <Praet0rian> wm4eo, heres the thing, if you only have the INTErNAL selection in your sound settings, it would assume you are using that and not external
[22:01] <ikonia> triunenature: do you have any other machines around ?
[22:02] <triunenature> I have about 30 machines around, im in an office ;)
[22:02] <Praet0rian> can you listen to audio via headphones wm4eo
[22:02] <sysRPL> hello
[22:02] <ikonia> triunenature: grab one and patch into that same port with that same cable, do the lights come on ?
[22:02] <datastream_> ohi
[22:02] <ikonia> triunenature: is that a big deal to test ?
[22:02] <wm4eo> no i cant listen from the headphones
[22:02] <triunenature> However I don't know where the telecom closet is, and i wouldn't have access to the switch.
[22:02] <Praet0rian> wm4eo, then the sound card is not working properly
[22:02] <triunenature> Yes, when i plug the same cable into any of the other computers, the lights come up
[22:03] <ikonia> triunenature: hardware problem
[22:03] <otak>  /goto home
[22:03] <ikonia> triunenature: lights = dumb, just a cable terminated at both ends, no OS, no anything,
[22:03] <wm4eo> but the sound out from the laptob speakers and i can hear it its just from the headphone i cant
[22:03] <ikonia> triunenature: if other computers are working, and this one computer isn't even getting any lights, I'd put a lot of money on a hardware issue
[22:03] <wm4eo> but any way how can i instel it?
[22:04] <Praet0rian> wm4eo, the sound card handles your external ports also
[22:04] <Terabyte> what's wrong with this upstart script pair? http://pastebin.com/eJDHK1a1 the memcached one doesn't start after the ufw one
[22:04] <wm4eo> how can i find a driver for it?
[22:04] <Praet0rian> wm4eo, get your sound card model and check manufactuer or search google for same issue
[22:04] <triunenature> ikonia: really... see i suspected the same, i just don't want my poor computer to be dying..... Is there any software test to confirm what we both know/suspect?
[22:04] <Praet0rian> wm4eo, have to know your hardware if you're using linux just a tip
[22:04] <ikonia> triunenature: you've pretty much just confirmed it
[22:05] <triunenature> :(
[22:05] <wm4eo> do u have any spicific website for that?
[22:05] <sysRPL> can someone please offer me some advice? i bought a new wireless router to upgrade from G to N but my ubuntu computer wireless only went from 54 MB/s to 65 MB/s ... not the performance increase i was expecting .... i've googled this problem and am exhausted ... what settings/software updates can i try to improve my MB/s rating?
[22:05] <Praet0rian> wm4eo, I do not know your manufacturer I cannot in any way know a web site for you
[22:06] <triunenature> ikonia: I'd perfer a program that outputs, "Yep your Network Interface Card is broken"
[22:06] <Praet0rian> search your laptop model
[22:06] <Praet0rian> this iwll give you harware spec
[22:06] <ikonia> triunenature: that's not going to happen
[22:06] <wm4eo> its realtak one second and i'll give u the model
[22:06] <Praet0rian> sysRPL, is your card an N card?
[22:06] <Praet0rian> or still G
[22:06] <triunenature> ikonia: Yea life never has been that simple.  Ironically enough, wifi still works without a hitch on the machine
[22:07] <Praet0rian> wm4eo, I am not going to do your research for you LoL, I am simply pointing you in the right direction
[22:07] <yacc> Any one here has experience with SATA? http://pastebin.com/LGASzQbv My Ubuntu (10.04LTS) seems to force the SSD down into SATA1 1.5Gbps mode.
[22:07] <sysRPL> Praet0rian: Atheros AR9285 802.11b/g/n
[22:07] <Praet0rian> yacc, sry have solid state here
[22:08] <Praet0rian> sysRPL, does your router have the 100MBs burts setting?
[22:08] <Praet0rian> I mean 108MB
[22:08] <wm4eo> sorry bro i thought u know a good web to get a drivers for linux will thank u and i have another problem if u r ok with it
[22:08] <sysRPL> Praet0rian: it's a linksys E2000
[22:08] <sysRPL> Praet0rian: i'm not sure, let me see
[22:08] <Praet0rian> sysRPL, look at doc
[22:08] <wm4eo> i get the kget and its working with firefox
[22:08] <Praet0rian> or simply login and look
[22:09] <cntb> Look at windows 8 blocking dual boot concern http://www.zdnet.com/blog/microsoft/will-windows-8-block-users-from-dual-booting-linux-microsoft-wont-say/10772?tag=nl.e550
[22:09] <sysRPL> Praet0rian: it has a frame burst radio button with enabled/disabled ... the value is set to enabled
[22:09] <Praet0rian> sysRPL, I have a testing solution for you
