[05:27] <cipher__> i have grub2, "accidentally" installed the package "grub", it works fine, however it is still booting with grub2, however when i attempt to run grub-update it is reverting to legacy grub Essentially I am asking if i can safely remove the "grub" package now?
[05:27] <rhin0> probably
[05:28] <Kingrat> rhin0: so post detailed information about your video driver setup and someone here can help ya get it working (:
[05:28] <rhin0> its not installed anymore I haven't had the patience I was trying to get xubuntu working xfce should run it ...
[05:29] <rhin0> xubuntu 10.04 I don't like the new xfce .... i'm going to try to go back to 10.10 now
[05:29] <Kingrat> rhin0: You may set yourself up to encounter the same issues.
[05:29] <Habstinat> YankDownUnder: Yup. http://i.imgur.com/ipH6J.png
[05:29] <rhin0> maybe I try fedora
[05:29] <cipher__> ^^ :)
[05:29] <rhin0> because having to debug a graphics driver on a new machine new graphics card is not my cup of tea right now
[05:29] <rhin0> - nVidia Corporation GT218 [GeForce 310]
[05:30] <Kingrat> rhin0: it's not distro specific. it's hardware / driver specific.
[05:30] <YankDownUnder> Habstinat, Roger that.
[05:30] <rhin0> ok I get you
[05:30] <rhin0> so ubuntu doesn't run - nVidia Corporation GT218 [GeForce 310]
[05:30] <rhin0> or linux doesn't
[05:30] <Kingrat> We can get it to.
[05:30] <fweezel> ok, ubuntu doesn't detect the monitor and won't let me choose the native resolution for it
[05:30] <Kingrat> It'll take some help from users here -- but you're in the right place.
[05:31] <YankDownUnder> rhin0, You should be able to force your graphics from the terminal/console: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[05:31] <rhin0> what do you mean "force my graphics" YankDownUnder
[05:32] <YankDownUnder> rhin0, To get yer nvidia happy; and possibly resolve some issues that have cropped up between the chair and the keyboard...
[05:32] <Kingrat> rhin0: he added the command in his first message
[05:33] <rhin0> how will I be able to debug a window manager problem if it just freezes
[05:33] <rhin0> maybe I just get a compatible graphics card
[05:33] <YankDownUnder> rhin0, What I'm getting at is that it's most likely NOT the Gnome window mangler mate...
[05:33] <rhin0> I am downloading the latest nvidia driver for the card
[05:33] <rhin0> what else can I do
[05:33] <YankDownUnder> rhin0, ...and there shouldn't BE any issues with an nVidia card...
[05:33] <Kingrat> rhin0: it's probably xorg. which you can fix before (or even when) X is loaded.
[05:34] <rhin0> but how would I knwo what the problem is when it just hangs randomly
[05:34] <rhin0> right -- I tell you what im going to install xubuntu 11.04 even though I don't like the new xfce -- I am sure xfce will not give any problems -- in fact I have been told this
[05:35] <rhin0> is it possible xfce will give me the same problems?
[05:35] <YankDownUnder> rhin0, Here's something for ya to try. Tell me when you're game to listen.
[05:35] <rhin0> i am game to listen
[05:35] <Kingrat> rhin0: The beauty of linux is it's logging and terminal configuration abiliteis.
[05:35] <rhin0> I am just trying to get somethign workign fast
[05:35] <Kingrat> rhin0: It can, and probably will happen
[05:36] <IdleOne> rhin0: take a look at Lubuntu, it's lighter then xubuntu
[05:36]  * Kingrat facepalms a little bit.
[05:36] <rhin0> ah..
[05:36] <Habstinat> Can anyone here confirm if this guide is still relevant/works? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=166624
[05:36]  * rhin0 facepalms too
[05:36] <rhin0> will lubuntu maybe work?
[05:36] <rhin0> hmm
[05:37] <Kingrat> rhin0: talk to YankDownUnder first.
[05:37] <Kingrat> rhin0: talk to YankDownUnder first.
[05:37] <Kingrat> It's probably an X server / driver issue.
[05:37] <rhin0> YankDownUnder I AM GAME TO LISTEN.
[05:37] <YankDownUnder> rhin0, Right oh, firstly, hit CTRL+ATL+F1, that should take you to a console login. Login as the root user (or yourself, whatever). Secondly, stop GDM. Do so with /etc/init.d/gdm stop. Wait. Then, as  you're at the console, type: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg => and find the nvidia driver you want. Let the system do what it's going to do. THEN, restart GDM with /etc/init.d/gdm restart. That should take you BACK to your
[05:37] <YankDownUnder> Gnome desktop; see what goes from there...
[05:37] <Kingrat> which means it can follow you
[05:37] <Kingrat> to any DE
[05:38] <rhin0> right -- are you going to be around for a while YankDownUnder because I have to re-install 11.04 to try this -- 20 minutes probably
[05:38] <YankDownUnder> rhin0, Don't reckon I'm going anywhere until I have to pick up the missus.
[05:38] <rhin0> ok thanks -- where are you in oz -- I used to live in harbord
[05:39] <YankDownUnder> rhin0, South of Sydney...in The Shire.
[05:39] <rhin0> YankDownUnder: i miss it :(
[05:39] <JoshDreamland> My sound preferences show zero devices, where it used to show five of them.  The command set my user group to audio. The problem showed up after rebooting.
[05:40] <rhin0> i know ydu -- used to surf every day
[05:41] <YankDownUnder> rhin0, Cronulla = 5 minutes east. Bondi = 30 min north. ;)
[05:41] <brewster> I found out how to set the number of desktops but i still get that flat workspace switcher
[05:41] <gulzar> which is the best GUI for qemu?
[05:42] <rhin0> i'll do a clean install of 11.04 on this YankDownUnder and then do the commands through the console you told me about then get back to you
[05:43] <YankDownUnder> rhin0, Roger that.
[05:43] <JoshDreamland> Under output, the device "Dummy Output" appears.
[05:43] <YankDownUnder> brewster, http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/change-settings-ubuntu-unity-compizconfig-settings-manager/
[05:43] <YankDownUnder> JoshDreamland, Are you outputting to a dummy?
[05:44] <JoshDreamland> seem to be, YankDownUnder
[05:44] <YankDownUnder> JoshDreamland, Well! Issue resolved! NEXT!!! ;)
[05:44] <JoshDreamland> Okay, for my next issue, no other device is available
[05:44] <JoshDreamland> And the hardware list is empty.
[05:45] <YankDownUnder> JoshDreamland, You said you reconfigured something with your sound system - what exactly? And have you tried to revert to the way it was before you changed anything?
[05:45] <JoshDreamland> I have removed myself from the audio group once more and have uninstalled alsaplay-oss
[05:46] <YankDownUnder> JoshDreamland, So you changed from Pulse to ALSA?
[05:46] <ubun> i am trying to install EASYCAP..(video capturing device) i installed the driver with errors about the sound modules being in use. I tried it at home and the install was a success. would it be that  i have a webcam installed at work and that doesnt allow it to install correctly? PLEASE HELP!!!!
[05:46] <JoshDreamland> YankDownUnder: Not that I know of
[05:46] <YankDownUnder> JoshDreamland, Roger that.
[05:47] <JoshDreamland> I'm just going to reboot and see what that fixes
[05:49] <ubun> nobody?
[05:50] <JoshDreamland> It fixed nothing. The system can't make a peep.
[05:50] <YankDownUnder> ubun, Patience?
[05:50] <ubun> i didnt see activity is why..
[05:50] <YankDownUnder> ubun, Cuz most of the folks in the northern hemisphere, mostly in either Europe or the US, are asleep now.
[05:51] <ubun> YankDownUnder: yeah...
[05:51] <osos> aye, it's seven o'clock in athens, for example
[05:51] <YankDownUnder> Athens? Athens, Georgia? ;)
[05:51] <ubun> 11:51
[05:51] <ubun> here
[05:51] <osos> :D
[05:52] <osos> athens, greece.
[05:52]  * YankDownUnder feigns stupidity
[05:52] <ubun> do any of yall know how to disable  a webcam from using sound?
[05:52] <YankDownUnder> ubun, Mate, nah, I don't...I don't do webcams...hate'em with a passion.
[05:53] <fweezel> I can't figure out how to get the right resolution on here, it doesn't detect the monitor. I tried editing xorg.conf but I think I did it wrong
[05:53] <rhin0> reading this "HowTo: Reconfigure X with “dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg” (ubuntu forums) --- YankDownUnder -- it's all about tuning x for your video card -- with this I stand a chance of getting my set up reliable?  which specific things within it whould I look for?  if you're not around
[05:54] <brewster> ok ive searched high and low through the compiz config program and found nothing to turn this: http://ubuntuone.com/p/114B/ into a cube
[05:54] <rhin0> its close to a full install -- will have to download the latest nvidia driver first?  -- install the updates first?  YankDownUnder
[05:55] <YankDownUnder> rhin0, Let the system do all the "installing updates" and all that jazz - and after it's completely complete, and you've rebooted, lessee how that goes, eh?
[05:55] <bullgard4> ubun: The fact that a webcam is installed may or may not prevent a correct installation of easycap. You should test that by temporarily disinstalling the webcam. Please analyze carefully any error messages that you obtain. Report them if you cannot make meaningfull conclusions from them yourself.
[05:55] <gfhjfc> whats up people
[05:55] <rhin0> ok ty sir
[05:56] <YankDownUnder> brewster, Have you read all the way through: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/change-settings-ubuntu-unity-compizconfig-settings-manager/
[05:56] <cyperbg> anyone connected to Ubuntu 11.04 machine using Remote Desktop?
[05:57] <cyperbg> successfully
[05:57] <JoshDreamland> purging and reinstalling pulse and alsa didn't fix it. Any other suggestions?
[05:57] <rhin0> yep -- use vinagre hostname:0 from bash
[05:57] <rhin0> after allowing remote desktop on the client machine
[05:57] <cyperbg> I'm connectng from a Windows 7 machine
[05:57] <cyperbg> 3 hours attempts
[05:57] <rhin0> JoshDreamland:
[05:57] <nikhgupta> hey
[05:57] <YankDownUnder> JoshDreamland, Now THAT is strange...and you've checked through both the input and output hardware, double-checked everything, eh?
[05:58] <cyperbg> rhin0, the client machine shows <IP_ADDRESS> or localhost
[05:58] <rhin0> Imean cyperg ---
[05:58] <JoshDreamland> YankDownUnder: Actually, at this point, I can't even tell I have a sound system installed.
[05:58] <cyperbg> it does not even show the local ip address
[05:58] <rhin0> localhost is not the machine name localhost is localhost the local address
[05:58] <cyperbg> I know that
[05:58] <brewster> YankDownUnder: indeed
[05:58] <rhin0> go to a bash shell and type ifconfig to find the machine ip
[05:58] <cyperbg> I try <IP_ADDRESS> which is the client ip adress
[05:58] <rhin0> otherwise the hostname
[05:58] <cyperbg> I know what its IP is
[05:59] <YankDownUnder> JoshDreamland, ...check the hardware, AND the profile - do the "test speakers" for each/any of the profiles...check the "Hardware" tab again...
[05:59] <JoshDreamland> YankDownUnder: I have no access to the hardware tab. Nothing's running.
[05:59] <cyperbg> the closest to connecting I got was: getting Protocol version negotiated in TightVNC
[05:59] <cyperbg> this Ubuntu is a nightmare
[05:59] <rhin0> type vinagre serverhostname or ip:0 on the client and you should be in
[06:00] <rhin0> maybe better to use openbox than vnc cyperbg
[06:00] <YankDownUnder> JoshDreamland, Have you tried checking the drivers => run "jockey-gtk" and see if the drivers can be found or can be activated...????
[06:00] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: do you have a VNC server running on the computer you want to connect to?
[06:00] <cyperbg> the client ip adress is <IP_ADDRESS> so you suggest I type vinagre <IP_ADDRESS> on the client pc?
[06:01] <rhin0> i think the client will work with
[06:01] <JoshDreamland> YankDownUnder: The sound system was working perfectly 15 minutes ago. Also, there aren't any additional drivers.
[06:01] <cyperbg> oh disregard my previous comment
[06:01] <rhin0> no you put in the server ip or hostname vinagre serverhost:0
[06:01] <cyperbg> the server is Ubuntu 11.04
[06:01] <cyperbg> the client is Windows 7
[06:01] <rhin0> ah
[06:01] <YankDownUnder> JoshDreamland, Did you put yourself back into the audio group?
[06:01] <cyperbg> and Ive tried 3 different VNC programs
[06:02] <cyperbg> any other suggestions?
[06:02] <rhin0> well what I was telling you was form an ubuntu client I have no idea of windows don't use it
[06:02] <cyperbg> before I kill myself
[06:02] <YankDownUnder> cyperbg, have you tried just the plain-jane GnomeRDP?
[06:02] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: are you sure that a VNC server is running, and that you can see port 5900 on that server from the client?
[06:02] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: are the machines on the same LAN
[06:02] <cyperbg> yes they are on the same lan
[06:02] <cyperbg> do I need to forward ports when we are talking Lan connections?
[06:03] <qin> cyperbg: sudo netstat -tulp
[06:03] <tensorpudding> no
[06:03] <rhin0> cyperbg maybe erase windows off your pc and you will feel better -- and things will be straightforward then -- you can still use windows within openbox
[06:03] <cyperbg> I somehow feel Ubuntu is the problem here, not Windows
[06:03] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: are you sure you have the IP right?
[06:03] <cyperbg> absolutely sure
[06:03] <JoshDreamland> YankDownUnder: No, only pulse is a member of the audio group
[06:03] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: did you choose the right display? it should be :0
[06:03] <qin> cyperbg: See ip and port for of vnc
[06:03] <JoshDreamland> which is how it was before it got screwed up
[06:03] <gfhjfc> openbox? thats a window manager
[06:04] <cyperbg> there is no option to select display in any of the VNC programas or is there?
[06:04] <rhin0> i mean the virtual thing
[06:04] <tensorpudding> sorry
[06:04] <rhin0> whats it called enables you to run an os from within ubuntu
[06:04] <rhin0> virtual box
[06:04] <tensorpudding> nevermind, was thinking of the server
[06:04] <rhin0> sorrry
[06:04] <rhin0> "virtualbox"
[06:04] <FloodBot1> rhin0: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:04] <cyperbg> both computers are in the same network
[06:05] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: can you VNC locally?
[06:05] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: as in, you can connect to the VNC running on the server from the server?
[06:05] <cyperbg> tensorpudding that is what I'm trying to do
[06:05] <cyperbg> oh ok
[06:05] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: what?
[06:05] <cyperbg> I didn;t know you can do that
[06:05] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: well, it might cause some issues
[06:05] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: it'll create an infinite regress of windows
[06:06] <cyperbg> tensorpudding how do I connect from the same pc to the same pc?
[06:06] <cyperbg> it is still worth a try
[06:06] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: run a VNC client to the same IP address
[06:06] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: same port
[06:06] <YankDownUnder> JoshDreamland, Keep giving it a go - I must do the manly thing and go retrieve my missus from work - so she can come home and work some more... ;)
[06:06] <JoshDreamland> YankDownUnder: Have fun. I'm out of ideas.
[06:06] <cyperbg> I'm new to Linux, can you recommend a client for Ubuntu?
[06:06] <rhin0> you're off YankDownUnder -- when may you be back?
[06:07] <cyperbg> does it have one or do I need to install?
[06:07] <YankDownUnder> rhin0, In a short tick...
[06:07] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: ubuntu has Remote Desktop Viewer
[06:07] <YankDownUnder> JoshDreamland, Look through the Ubuntu forums...you might surprise yerself...
[06:07] <cyperbg> let me try to find it
[06:07] <JoshDreamland> Does anyone know the name of the sound preference manager?
[06:07] <rhin0> i'll follow the forum instructions to try to configure nvidia -- any hints yankdownunder?  - the forum instructions which direct further to the command you told me about (after disabling gdm etc)
[06:08] <rhin0> any hints YankDownUnder?
[06:08] <rhin0> ah you'll be back soon ... ok now im gonna be up all morning -- its ok
[06:08] <gulzar> want to add pendrive as a storage device in qemu. How to do?
[06:09] <rhin0> JoshDreamland: gnome-volume-control
[06:09] <JoshDreamland> thanks, rhin0
[06:10] <rhin0> JoshDreamland: to seee whats running (most recently last) -- from a bash shell type ps -ef (that's what I just did to find the name of sound preferences manager after running it)
[06:10] <arooni-mobile> what happens if my laptop is asleep when cron is supposed to run
[06:10] <cyperbg> tensorpudding I've tried to connect to localhost , <IP_ADDRESS> and <IP_ADDRESS> unsuccessfully
[06:11] <JoshDreamland> I'm just going to purge all alsa* and pulse* then reinstall them
[06:11] <bullgard4> What is the difference between /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old and /var/log/Xorg.0.log?
[06:11] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: it sounds like VNC isn't running then
[06:11] <qin> cyperbg: netstat -tulp ???
[06:11] <cp721> how can i tell if im using a 32bit or 64bit os
[06:11] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: you enabled it in Remote Desktop, right?
[06:11] <JoshDreamland> last time I just did alsa-base and pulseaudio
[06:11] <rhin0> uname -a cp721
[06:11] <cyperbg> qin I'll try that
[06:11] <rhin0> command "uname -a" from the bash shell
[06:11] <cyperbg> tensorpudding yes the first 2 ticks are enable
[06:11] <cyperbg> it does not ask for password and it connectt without permission
[06:12] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: do you have to confirm it?
[06:12] <cp721> rhin0: Linux nash 2.6.38-8-generic-pae #42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 11 05:17:09 UTC 2011 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
[06:12] <cyperbg> tensorpudding no, you just tick the boxes and then select Close
[06:12] <rhin0> thats 32 bit cp721 if it was 64 it would have 64 in that blurb
[06:12] <fweezel> and the solution I tried made things worse
[06:12] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: i meant, is the check for "you must confirm each access" checked
[06:13] <fweezel> guess that's what I get for not really knowing what I'm doing
[06:13] <Guest82784> JoshDreamland:to test your speaker you also may run 'speaker-test' from command line
[06:13] <JoshDreamland> thanks, Guest82784
[06:13] <qin> Sweet!
[06:14] <cyperbg> tensorpudding it's unchecked
[06:14] <omg3> \/
[06:15] <cyperbg> hello?
[06:16] <wols_> yes?
[06:16] <cyperbg> oh I thought I got disconnected or something
[06:16] <sailerboy> hey, i'm running ubuntu on a computer without a keyboard or mouse
[06:16] <sailerboy> and it works fine noramlly
[06:16] <sailerboy> but it for some reason wants to go to grub
[06:16] <sailerboy> without a timeout
[06:17] <sailerboy> when i turn it on
[06:17] <sailerboy> thus, i can't get past it
[06:17] <cyperbg> qin netstat -tulp shows this
[06:17] <arooni-mobile> what happens if my laptop is asleep when cron is supposed to run?  is there a way to make it ruNn?
[06:17] <wols_> sailerboy: so remove the grub timeout?
[06:17] <cyperbg> tcp  0  *:5900  *:*  LISTEN
[06:17] <wols_> or rather, put a timeout in?
[06:17] <sailerboy> wols_, i can't start the computer now
[06:17] <sailerboy> it's the only desktop
[06:17] <sailerboy> the rest of mine are laptops
[06:17] <sailerboy> i usually use synergy
[06:18] <wols_> sailerboy: how did you install ubuntu on said desktop?
[06:18] <sailerboy> yes
[06:18] <sailerboy> oh
[06:18] <sailerboy> mythbuntu
[06:18] <wols_> !enter
[06:18] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: that implies that vlc is listening on the port
[06:18] <sailerboy> i had a keyboard plugged in for install
[06:18] <sailerboy> but it is now no longer accessable
[06:18] <cyperbg> tensorpudding but why can't I connect then?
[06:18] <wols_> sailerboy: then do that now, boot it properly and fix your grub settings
[06:18] <sailerboy> do what?
[06:18] <sailerboy> i have no keyboard
[06:19] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: don't know
[06:19] <rhin0> sailerboy there is an alternative to synergy if you have problems -- called 'x2x'  -- actually a bit simpler than synergy
[06:19] <wols_> cyperbg: telnet <ip of vnc> <port of vnc>   what does that do cyperbg?
[06:19] <sailerboy> it usually has no timeout
[06:19] <sailerboy> it usually just goes straight to the desktop
[06:19] <sailerboy> but
[06:19] <sailerboy> after i upgraded it
[06:19] <sailerboy> it doesn't boot
[06:19] <cyperbg> wols_ telnet is not installed on my Windows machine
[06:19] <wols_> sailerboy: then get one. somehow you will need to edit those bytes in the grub files. no way around it. and don't misuse your enter key!
[06:19] <wols_> cyperbg: then install it
[06:20] <qin> cyperbg: Do you use firestarter? or something?
[06:20] <arooni-mobile> is there a way to get a keyboard shortcut to the workspace switcher on ubuntu 11.04?
[06:20] <cyperbg> no, the other firewall, forgot its name, but it is disabled
[06:20] <cyperbg> ufw
[06:21] <cyperbg> i think
[06:21] <wols_> cyperbg: iptables will tell if you if it actually is
[06:21] <qin> cyperbg: sudo service ufw status
[06:21] <pksadiq> Abhijit: check pvt
[06:21] <bullgard4> What is the difference between /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old and /var/log/Xorg.0.log?
[06:22] <cyperbg> it said ufw start/running
[06:22] <qin> All, Have a nice day, I am off.
[06:22] <qin> cyperbg: ups
[06:22] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: then it's running
[06:22] <wols_> bullgard4: time
[06:22] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: you'll need to create a firewall rule for port 5900
[06:23] <cyperbg> can I just disable it for the test
[06:23] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: though, that shouldn't prevent you from connecting locally
[06:23] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: yes, by sudo service ufw stop
[06:23] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: as an aside, i think you might actually have to install vino for it to work
[06:24] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: i'm trying on my end to do this, and i just realized that vino isn't installed
[06:24] <cyperbg> I stopped it
[06:24] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: vino is the ubuntu vnc server
[06:24] <cyperbg> I know
[06:24] <cyperbg> how can I check if it is intalled?
[06:24] <wols_> dpkg -l <package>
[06:25] <tensorpudding> that's the thing, vino is installed
[06:25] <tensorpudding> the package
[06:25] <tensorpudding> but i don't know, the daemon doesn't seem to be
[06:25] <bullgard4> wols_: Can you elaborate. I rather think that time is the difference between /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old and /var/log/Xorg.1.log.old.
[06:25] <pksadiq> Abhijit: check pvt
[06:25] <tensorpudding> oh wait, it's in /usr/lib
[06:25] <cyperbg> wols_ it seems it is installed
[06:25] <tensorpudding> that's really strange
[06:25] <cyperbg> yes I have a vino folder in usr/lib
[06:25] <wols_> bullgard4: then I suggest you check your logrotate settings more carefully
[06:26] <cyperbg> I've checked that before
[06:26] <dhruvasagar> Hi guys, somehow the 'reset' command has stopped working on the terminal, why should that be /
[06:26] <tensorpudding> yeah, starting it manually works
[06:26] <tensorpudding> that's a pretty strange bug
[06:27] <cyperbg> tensorpudding so I was thinking to reinstall the OS if that would help?
[06:27] <wols_> iirc there is a setting in gnome you have to enable to make it run vino automatically. long time since I did that tho
[06:27] <dhruvasagar> it does not give any error, just doesn't do anything...
[06:27] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: you don't need to reinstall the OS
[06:27] <dhruvasagar> anybody ?
[06:27] <cyperbg> well I've tried million things
[06:27] <JoshDreamland> Does anyone care to hear a story about how, in a simple attempt to reinstall ALSA and Pulse, I managed to kill GTK and lose permissions to my own home folder as well as most binaries?
[06:27] <cyperbg> been trying to locate the problem for the past 3 hours
[06:28] <JoshDreamland> Some error message about ICE that was quickly covered up by more error messages appeared.
[06:28] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vino/+bug/685572 is the bug report
[06:28] <JoshDreamland> It's really interesting, and now Ubuntu is exclusively CLI because the graphical bits don't work anymore.
[06:28] <z3ro> anyone can help me http://paste.ubuntu.com/631915/
[06:28] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: if you run '/usr/lib/vino/vino-server' in the terminal, it will work
[06:29] <JoshDreamland> Anyway, I don't think any of you give a rat's behind, and my only option at this point is to reinstall the whole OS, so goodbye.
[06:29] <arooni-mobile> is there a way to get a keyboard shortcut to the workspace switcher on ubuntu 11.04?
[06:29] <dhruvasagar> ok fixed it
[06:30] <cyperbg> tensorpudding - vino-server:3874: Warning   remote desktop server already running; exiting...
[06:30] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: the preferences program can't launch vino-server automatically, for some reason
[06:30] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: oh?
[06:30] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: ...that's really weird
[06:30] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: so it's running but you can't connect?
[06:30] <cyperbg> yes it seems so :)
[06:30] <arooni-mobile> is there a way to get a preview of what emails i have in my gmail inbox on 11.04's mail notifier thing
[06:31] <rhin0> YankDownUnder: hi -- typing sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -- just goes back to the bash prompt without doing anything
[06:31] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: huh
[06:31] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: so what does 'ps aux | grep vino' return
[06:31] <wols_> rhin0: that's normal. what are you actually trying to accomplish?
[06:32] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: it should return a running vino-server process, then
[06:32] <cyperbg> tensorpudding when I use TightVNC in Windows it goes like this: Connection Established and then it gets stuck on Protocol Version Negotiated.
[06:32] <rhin0> I am trying to fix my graphics card hanging up (nvidia)
[06:32] <wols_> rhin0: which drivers? nvidia.com or the ubuntu ones?
[06:32] <rhin0> the gdm hanging up -- system does not lock display manager locks up -- all updates installed propriatary nvidia driver installed wols_
[06:32] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: if you can't connect to it locally, it won't connect from windows
[06:33] <wols_> have fun asking nvidia. good luck
[06:33] <rhin0> maybe it was because I did not install the (experimental) 3d drivers --
[06:33] <rhin0> why wols_ is nvidia problematic?
[06:33] <zetheroo> sometimes when I boot up into Ubuntu 11.04 all I get to is my wallpaper .. the mouse cursor moves but there is nothing else there
[06:34] <wols_> zetheroo: when that happens, press ctrl+alt+f2, log in and check your .xsession-errors and check what processes are running, e.g. what window manager and such
[06:34] <zetheroo> wols_: what does ctrl+alt+f2 do? Is there something I could look for in the logs right now?

[06:35] <MichaelKohler> hi, I've configured a OpenVPN on my server, installed the needed certificates, but now I can't connect to it using the network manager ("connection failed").. what's the best way to debug that?
[06:35] <wols_> zetheroo: it switches to a tty
[06:35] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: oh, for some reason you have a vino process running as root...that's pretty bad
[06:35] <cyperbg> but does it explain why I can't connect?
[06:36] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: try 'sudo killall vino-server'
[06:36] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: then try rechecking the box enabling remote desktop in the preferences
[06:36] <zetheroo> wols_: can I check the log now? or only when the issue is happening?
[06:37] <wols_> you can check whenever you want
[06:37] <cyperbg> tensorpudding the chedckbox was still checked after I killed it
[06:38] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: yeah, but rechecking it launches vino-server
[06:38] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: or should
[06:38] <cyperbg> I recheked it
[06:38] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: try running that 'ps aux | grep vino-server' again, and tell me if it has anything
[06:38] <cyperbg> it says my desktop is only reachable over the local netowkr
[06:39] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: yes, that's normal
[06:39] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: that's all you need or want; you don't want random people to be able to try to connect to you
[06:39] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: if it does, try connecting with tightvnc again
[06:39] <cyperbg> tensorpudding it has the same result as before but without the root line
[06:39] <zetheroo> wols_: I cannot find that log in System Log Viewer?
[06:40] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: the problem before might have been that you had so many processes running
[06:40] <wols_> zetheroo: cause it's in ~
[06:40] <zetheroo> wols_: that's "Home" right!?
[06:40] <cyperbg> tensorpudding now it said Failed to connect
[06:41] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: try locally
[06:41] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: use the remote desktop viewer
[06:42] <cyperbg> it works
[06:42] <cyperbg> :)
[06:42] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: okay, so your problem is now the network, then
[06:42] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: ufw is still down right?
[06:42] <zetheroo> wols_: there is so much info in here ... can I pastebin it and give you the link?
[06:42] <iAmerikan> does ubuntu come with any curses interfaces to edit network information?
[06:42] <wols_> zetheroo: no
[06:43] <cyperbg> ufw is down
[06:43] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: and tightvnc doesn't work..
[06:43] <zetheroo> wols_: oh and there are two files ... one ends with ".old"
[06:43] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: have you tried a different client?
[06:43] <wols_> iAmerikan: not to edit. but there is wicd. and you can always edit /etc/network/interfaces manually (see man interfaces)
[06:43] <cyperbg> no, it says Failed to connect
[06:43] <iAmerikan> wols_: what files does ubuntu use for network connection? / dhcp allocation?
[06:43] <wols_> cyperbg: use telnet from your ubuntu on localhost then
[06:43] <iAmerikan> I have to fix a friends offline computer through a hamachi>vnc>ssh setup.
[06:43] <wols_> iAmerikan: depends. usually network manager from gnome
[06:44]  * iAmerikan sighs.
[06:44] <cyperbg> I've tried TightVNC, UltraVnc and VNC Viewer
[06:44] <wols_> how can it be offline when it is reachable via hamachi? contradiction there
[06:44] <iAmerikan> cyperbg: wut ya trying?
[06:44] <iAmerikan> wols_: you missed the vnc step.
[06:44] <cyperbg> to connect from my Windows 7 machine to my Ubuntu machive using VNC
[06:44] <iAmerikan> His windows box is in hamachi, so I vnc into that, then ssh w/ putty to the offline computer.
[06:45] <wols_> iAmerikan: no I did not. if there is vnc, there is a network, if tehre is ssh, there is a network, if there is hamache there is a network
[06:45] <iAmerikan> wols_: you imply that there is but one machine involved on his side.
[06:45] <wols_> you cannot ssh to offline computers. not possible

[06:45] <iAmerikan> wols_: chill out, think about it for a minute >_>
[06:45] <wols_> iAmerikan: you have no clue about networking and I am wasting my time. good day
[06:45] <cyperbg> tensorpudding what else can I try?
[06:45] <iAmerikan> His windows box is on the same LAN
[06:45] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: i really don't know what the issue is now
[06:46] <wols_> iAmerikan: and really read what "routing" means
[06:46] <iAmerikan> cyperbg: it's easy.
[06:46] <iAmerikan> LOL
[06:46] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: you really need to run telnet from the windows machine
[06:46] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: or zenmap, maybe
[06:46] <iAmerikan> wols_: if it's imposible, how am I connected?
[06:46] <cyperbg> tensorpudding I ran telnet
[06:46] <iAmerikan> You know, a computer can connect to a router before it gets assigned an external IP address?
[06:46] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: did you run it in ubuntu?
[06:46] <iAmerikan> or maybe you don't. In which case, stfu <33

[06:47] <cyperbg> telnet <IP_ADDRESS>:5900 again tries to connect on port 23

[06:48] <tensorpudding> 5900
[06:48] <din> can anyone tell me how to start wpa_supplicant at boot time? 11.04
[06:48] <tensorpudding> oh
[06:48] <cyperbg> it is 5900
[06:48] <cyperbg> the zero is on the sesond line
[06:49] <wols_> cyperbg: check netstat again if something listens on 5900. if it does, check iptables -L if something blocks it
[06:49] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: try 'netstat -tulp' again, and see what address port 5900 is bound on
[06:49] <cyperbg> vino-server listens on 5900
[06:50] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: it ought to say *:5900, in which case, i guess it could be bad rules in /etc/host.deny or something
[06:50] <wols_> din: you don't start it, it's no daemon. you connect to your AP and config it for WPA encrpytion. usually your network manager connection
[06:50] <qin> cyperbg: ifconfig (on ubuntu)
[06:50] <din> i want it to actually start before i login
[06:50] <cyperbg> it says localhsot:5900
[06:50] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: okay, *thats* the issue
[06:50] <MichaelKohler> I can't use ifconfig anymore: "The command could not be located because '/sbin' is not included in the PATH environment variable." .. but /etc/environment says: PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games"
[06:50] <MichaelKohler> what's wrong?
[06:50] <qin> cyperbg: So vnc listen on <IP_ADDRESS>
[06:50] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: if it binds to localhost, you can't connect to it from outside
[06:51] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: you need to allow other people to connect
[06:51] <wols_> tensorpudding: hence the message when he started it
[06:51] <cyperbg> so how do I bind it on local ip?
[06:51] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: are you sure you hit the check for allowing other people to connect?
[06:52] <cyperbg> yes first 2 checks are ticked
[06:52] <cyperbg> only the first 2
[06:52] <qin> tensorpudding: Are you certain his ubuntu is on line?
[06:52] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: damn
[06:52] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: these machines are on the same network, right?
[06:53] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: and check 'sudo iptables -L' for any rules
[06:53] <cyperbg> yes, I'm currently using TeamViewer to do all the things you tell mne
[06:53] <cyperbg> via th local network
[06:54] <owen1> how to mount sansa clip+ ?
[06:54] <iAmerikan> watch out cyperbg some people here don't believe in LANS
[06:54] <cyperbg> sudo iptables -L shows no rules, just the usual text I guess
[06:54] <cyperbg> iAmerikan I don't even know what LANS is
[06:55] <iAmerikan> cyperbg: local area networks
[06:55] <cyperbg> ooo I knew that
[06:55] <cyperbg> hehe
[06:56] <cyperbg> tensorpudding do you give up :)
[06:56] <qin> cyperbg: What IP have Ubuntu and what M$
[06:56] <qin> ?
[06:57] <cyperbg> Ubuntu: <IP_ADDRESS>
[06:57] <cyperbg> Windows: 	<IP_ADDRESS>
[06:57] <cyperbg> Router: 	<IP_ADDRESS>
[06:57] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: try running gconf-editor, browse to /desktop/gnome/remote_access, and tell me what the network_interface is set to
[06:57] <qin> cyperbg: Are they connected anyhow? ssh, etc?
[06:58] <wols_> qin: the error is found. vino binds on localhost only
[06:58] <cyperbg> qin they are just in the same network and I'm connected with Teamviewer to the Ubuntu machine to type all the commands
[06:58] <qin> wols_: OK, but he changed setting about hundret time till now.
[06:59] <arooni-mobile> is there a way to get a keyboard shortcut to the workspace switcher on ubuntu 11.04?
[06:59] <wols_> qin: no matter what he changed, until vino binds on the 192.168/16, all is for naught :)
[06:59] <gry> arooni-mobile, Wow, ask at mailing list, apparently you aren't getting a repsonse here
[06:59] <cyperbg> network_interface is lo
[06:59] <cyperbg> that is not good
[06:59] <hamnegga> use compiz rotate cube
[06:59] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: that's the problem
[06:59] <kezzawd> arooni-mobile: use Super with S
[06:59] <cyperbg> the Wifi is wlan1
[06:59] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: delete it, leave it blank
[06:59] <arooni-mobile> kezzawd, awesome
[07:00] <arooni-mobile> kezzawd, can i have more than 4 desktops?
[07:00] <NBFlyacker> my buddy has an  older AMD 64 machine, but only has an AGP port on his mother board.  What is the best AGP card he can get to support unity?
[07:00] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: then close, and that may fix it right there, or you might have to 'killall vino-server' again, then recheck the box in preferences to enable it again
[07:00] <hamnegga> Why would you ever need more than 4 desktops
[07:01] <ohzie> hamnegga: more than your neighbor.
[07:01] <cyperbg> tensorpudding do I delete the key?
[07:01] <hamnegga> I guess so...
[07:01] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: no, you double click the value, and backspace until it's empty, then hit enter
[07:01] <wols_> NBFlyacker: ##hardware is more appropriate, but the best agp card one can get is a radeon 4670, however many many other agp cards are good enough too
[07:01] <kezzawd> arooni-mobile: if you install compizconfig-settings-manager you should be able to increase from there
[07:02] <arooni-mobile> hmm not sure under which optoin its at
[07:02] <MichaelKohler> I can't use ifconfig anymore: "The command could not be located because '/sbin' is not included in the PATH environment variable." .. but /etc/environment says: PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games"
[07:02] <cyperbg> tensorpudding you are my hero :D
[07:02] <cyperbg> it works
[07:03] <bullgard4> wols_: Checking /etc/logrotate.d reveals that Xorg files are not included. So where are the logrotate settings of Xorg stored? By the way, "my" logrotate settings are the Ubuntu Natty default settings.
[07:03] <cyperbg> tensorpudding do you have any idea how that got so messed up?
[07:03] <wols_> bullgard4: then I dunno. I was under impression all /var/log is managed by logrotate. seems foolish to reinvent the wheel
[07:04] <NBFlyacker> Wols_, he has an older Nvidia 4200 card installed, but it won't work.  He has 3 gigs of ram and a 3G processor doesn't want to have to buy all of that just to get a PCIe port.  He wan'ts something that is around $100.
[07:04] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: no idea
[07:04] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: maybe something you installed
[07:04] <wols_> NBFlyacker: why wouldn't it work? not even with the nvidia restricted drivers?
[07:05] <owen1> how to mount sansa clip+ ?
[07:05] <wols_> NBFlyacker: any DX9 capable card then should work fine
[07:05] <wols_> owen1: check your dmesg output when you plug it in
[07:07] <gulzar> want to use pendrive in Qemu. How to do it. Using Qemulatoe 0.5.
[07:07] <kezzawd> arooni-mobile: it's under General Settings, Desktop Size
[07:07] <NBFlyacker> wols_: It wouldn't.   We tried restricted drivers and without.  When we first loaded his machine it said that because of his hardware it couldn't use unity and reverted back to the Gnome desktop.  3d is still enabled though, because it is showing the default flashes when he clicks on fire fox, and such.
[07:07] <wols_> NBFlyacker: check glxinfo if it's enabled, not firefox
[07:07] <cyperbg> tensorpudding again thank you so much
[07:07] <bstr8up> heyo, i would like to configure polipo to work with tor and irefox, i have there config file and i just need to figure out how to implement it.
[07:07] <Rodensky> Using Xubuntu 10.04, suddenly I got a dialog window with the following text: http://paste.ubuntu.com/632198/
[07:07] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: no problem, good luck
[07:08] <cyperbg> thank you :)
[07:08] <arooni-mobile> thanks kezzawd
[07:08] <arooni-mobile> what happens if my laptop is asleep when cron is supposed to run?  is there a way to make it run even if my laptop is asleep?
[07:09] <wols_> arooni-mobile: anacron. it runs those cronjobs as soon as the laptop wakes again
[07:09] <NBFlyacker> wols_:  I'm fairly new myself.  I converted when Natty came out.  How would I do that?  I didn't have any issues when I switched.
[07:09] <wols_> NBFlyacker: glxinfo |grep direct
[07:09] <penlat> what a good application to add effects to video
[07:09] <eli_> how do i fix the crackling in my speaker
[07:10] <NBFlyacker> wols_:  let me check.
[07:10] <MichaelKohler> what can I do when |echo $PATH| differs from the content of /etc/environment?
[07:10] <arooni-mobile> wols_, so do i have to rewrite my cron tasks in anacron?
[07:10] <bullgard4> wols_: logrotate is a rather contorted program. It seems to hide some of its settings somewhere else yet. 'man logrotate': "lograotate reads everything about log files it should be handling from the series of configuration files specified on the command line." I wonder how I can determine what series of configuration files Natty has specified for logrotate  on the command line?
[07:10] <Flannel> MichaelKohler: How does it differ?
[07:10] <NBFlyacker> wols_:  we just tried it.  It said yes.
[07:11] <eli_> how do i fix the crackling in my speaker
[07:12] <wols_> bullgard4: dunno. check /etc/init.d/ maybe? dunno much about upstart,sorry
[07:12] <bullgard4> eli_: May prove difficult. You can try to reduce the gain of your microphone input using alsamixer.
[07:12] <wols_> arooni-mobile: no, anacron is a drop in replacement
[07:12] <NBFlyacker> wols_:  Since it booted him into Gnome when we first installed, do we need to go back to the login screen and change it to Unity?  Maybe it didn't think unity would work after the initial login?
[07:13] <nhr> Hi, I want to setup mac like gestures on my laptop - using 11.04. I have two finger scroll working. Does ubuntu support any other gestures?
[07:13] <bstr8up> how can i configure polipo for tor and firefox?
[07:13] <bullgard4> wols_: Thank you.
[07:13] <rhin0> should the (experimental) 3d nvidia drivers which you get from install hardware drivers on 11.04 possibly resolve a problem where the desktop is freezing (gdm fault) -- not the machine with classic view and compiz disabled
[07:13] <rhin0> anyone
[07:14] <wols_> NBFlyacker: gf4200 is a dx8 card and has no proper shaders IIRC (dunno the opengl equivalent right now), so that's why it might not work with unity. any DX9 card which means any radeon 9xxx or later or any gf5xxx or later. maybe look at the ubuntu HCL
[07:15] <Abhijit> bstr8up, bodhizazen.net/Tutorials/TOR
[07:15] <Abhijit> bstr8up, http://bodhizazen.net/Tutorials/TOR
[07:15] <Abhijit> bstr8up, http://bodhizazen.net/Tutorials/TOR#Polipo
[07:15] <bstr8up> yaay, thank you!
[07:16] <wols_> MichaelKohler: something along the line changed your PATH then. most likely your .bash files or other dotfiles in your ~. I am not sure that /etc/environment is the right place to set paths. did you do that on your own or did ubuntu do that?
[07:16] <Abhijit> bstr8up, welcome.
[07:16] <NBFlyacker> wols_:  thank you.  We'll check it out.  One other question.  Since the rendering is working and we installed compiz config manger, would he still be able to get the "burn effect"?  It's not showing up either, but we can change other things.  Its just not showing up as an option at all.
[07:16] <spacetiger> Hi. I am trying to get wireless working. On a Dell Inspiron. The relevant hardware is Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 01)
[07:16] <wols_> NBFlyacker: considering how cheap DX10 cards are, better get one of those tho. no use to buy the oldes stuff available
[07:17] <ChaosSaber> all my stuff is opening in gedit, is there a way to fix that, like urls and stuff
[07:17] <MichaelKohler> Flannel: http://pastebin.com/T9uScXEG
[07:17] <hamnegga> go to linux wireless and follow the guide for that broadcom chip
[07:17] <wols_> NBFlyacker: dunno what this special effect needs.
[07:17] <MichaelKohler> wols_: AFAIK this is standard on Ubuntu
[07:17] <gulzar>  I want to install OS in pendrive using QEMU. How to add pendrive? Using Qemulator GUI . no problem with command line.
[07:17] <MichaelKohler> wols_: but I'll check my .bash files
[07:17] <wols_> !broadcom | spacetiger
[07:17] <hamnegga> you could also use ndiswrapper, but I don't recommend it if you want injection
[07:17] <NBFlyacker> wols_:  DX = "Direct X"?
[07:18] <hamnegga> gulzar, do you know how to mount a ndsi?
[07:18] <wols_> NBFlyacker: yes. no card maker really cares about opengl, so if you go shopping you need to check DirectX versions supported. cause that'S what they tell you
[07:18] <NBFlyacker> wols_:  Awesome.  Thank you for you help.
[07:18] <gulzar> hamnegga:umm nops
[07:19] <gulzar> hamnegga: give me the link or guide.. :)
[07:19] <gulzar> hamnegga: its done
[07:19] <gulzar> hamnegga: phewwwww experimenting is good
[07:20] <MichaelKohler> wols_: I can't find any line in the dotfiles that changes the PATH variable
[07:21] <nhr> Hi, I want to setup mac like gestures on my laptop - using 11.04. I have two finger scroll working. Does ubuntu support any other gestures?
[07:22] <ChaosSaber> what opens urls
[07:23] <spacetiger> @ubottu Thanks! on it.
[07:24] <dragonkeeper> how do i stop ctrl + alt f2-6  terminals from loading on boot ?
[07:25] <wols_> dragonkeeper: why would you want that?
[07:26] <dilruk> Hi im trying to get into bug fixing
[07:26] <qin> tensorpudding: Congratz on vnc. that was nice.
[07:26] <dilruk> i want to run $ pbuilder-dist <release> create
[07:26] <dragonkeeper> well they arent needed wols_
[07:27] <Sajuukthanatoskh> hey guys I can't seem to remove vsftpd off of my server, i need a bit of help, the server version is 10.04
[07:27] <bluefrog> dragonkeeper, /etc/default/console-setup
[07:27] <wols_> Sajuukthanatoskh: dpkg -l |grep vsftp
[07:28] <Pit> chaning the touch pad sensitivity from gui mode not working. can i do something from the conf file
[07:28] <dragonkeeper> bluefrog  ok thanks
[07:29] <Sajuukthanatoskh> wols_ : output : rH  vsftpd                               2.2.2-3ubuntu7.1
[07:29] <bluefrog> dragonkeeper, well maybe not. should be in upstart now
[07:29] <wols_> Sajuukthanatoskh: so what happens if you try to remove it?
[07:30] <iAmerikan> wols_: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Local_area_network that'll teach you about what I've been doing. So before you end up discouraging some new user by saying such redic. things as 'Learn routing' remember, that some people know what they're talking about, and don't need that sort of feedback (:
[07:31] <spacetiger> @ubottu Under b43 - Internet access sec. of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx Step 2 asks me to activate b43, but I only see broadcom STA driver option.
[07:31] <Sajuukthanatoskh> wols_ : E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) , says error were encountered while processing : vsftpd
[07:31] <wols_> Sajuukthanatoskh: you get more than that. full output of your command
[07:32] <ChaosSaber> anyway to fix this, seems everythng opens in gedit, so I cant open any urls
[07:32] <Sajuukthanatoskh> alright i will paste bin it
[07:32] <bluefrog> dragonkeeper, commenting things in /etc/init/tty*  should be better
[07:32] <wols_> spacetiger: ubottu is a bot. it won't answer
[07:32] <iAmerikan> ChaosSaber: what's the issue?
[07:32] <ChaosSaber> everything I click on opens in gedit
[07:32] <spacetiger> Ah, uh.. sorry bot.
[07:33] <Sajuukthanatoskh> wols_ : output : http://pastebin.com/yta5HTaW
[07:33] <dragonkeeper> bluefrog ok ty for info   be afk for lil bit need pop out
[07:34] <wols_> Sajuukthanatoskh: can you pastebin /var/lib/dpkg/info/vsftpd.postrm ?
[07:35] <Sajuukthanatoskh> wols_: sure will mate, gimme 2 min
[07:35] <hammoommah> i have server edition setup on 80gig drive 3 part boot/ext4/swap and i want to replace this drive with a RAID 0 setup using 2 drives.............. how do i go about this in the most hassle free way?
[07:35] <Sajuukthanatoskh> wols_: postrm called with unknown argument `'
[07:36] <Sajuukthanatoskh> wols_: that was the only line i got
[07:36] <The-Kernel> hi, running 10.10, I had sound for months, booted up machine and now I have nothing, it thinks there's no sound card, but it pops up in lspci
[07:36] <wols_> Sajuukthanatoskh: mean the contents of that file. not to run it
[07:36] <ChaosSaber> iAmerikan, Under ubuntu are they called .url or is that an unknown file type?
[07:37] <iAmerikan> ChaosSaber: I'm not sure what your problem is, I wasn't here before when you must have brought it up, so what's going on?
[07:37] <Sajuukthanatoskh> wols_ : hmm, so what then?  if it isn't meant to run but yet it runs.... sounds like my server wants to be independant of me lawl
[07:37] <BullShark> computers via lan are not accessible without internet?
[07:37] <wols_> Sajuukthanatoskh: paste the contents of that file in a pastebin
[07:37] <BullShark> ChaosSaber -> are you really that dumb?
[07:37] <ChaosSaber> I have a folder with favorite sites .url, when I open one it opens in gedit
[07:38] <hammoommah> any suggestions?
[07:38] <bazhang> BullShark, no need for the name-calling
[07:38] <ChaosSaber> BullShark, nope but this is the first time I ever ran linux, so I wanted to know
[07:38] <BullShark> hammoommah -> didn't see your question
[07:38] <hammoommah> i have server edition setup on 80gig drive 3 part boot/ext4/swap and i want to replace this drive with a RAID 0 setup using 2 drives.............. how do i go about this in the most hassle free way?
[07:38] <BullShark> ChaosSaber -> right click the files, properties, you can then change the default open with app
[07:39] <ChaosSaber> the default app is Text Editor
[07:39] <Sajuukthanatoskh> wols_: http://pastebin.com/PGW92MiA the innards of vsftpd.postrm file
[07:39] <ChaosSaber> but shouldnt it open in firefox?
[07:39] <iAmerikan> ChaosSaber: change the default app.
[07:39] <BullShark> ChaosSaber -> that's the name ubuntu gives for gedit
[07:39] <hammoommah> lol
[07:40] <ChaosSaber> I tryed that and put it on firefox and when I go to open the file it asks me to download it
[07:40] <iAmerikan> ChaosSaber: is there a reason for keeping them as . files in a folder, instead of bookmarking?
[07:40] <iAmerikan> Ah, well you can cat file.url | firefox probably.
[07:40] <ChaosSaber> their off a backup drive
[07:40] <iAmerikan> Oh wait.
[07:40] <iAmerikan> Try this.
[07:40] <iAmerikan> firefox `cat file.url`
[07:40] <ChaosSaber> so I was wanting to open them and then add em to bookmarks
[07:40] <iAmerikan> that should open them in firefox
[07:40] <BullShark> hammoommah -> that doesn't make sense boot/ext4/swap. ext4 is a filesystem, not a partition or mount point
[07:41] <wols_> Sajuukthanatoskh: you can add " -x" on the first line and see what it does when you apt-get remove might give you pointers to what goes wrong. or you go quick+dirty and put "exit 0" on the 2nd line
[07:41] <ChaosSaber> I'll try that, thanks
[07:41] <qin> iAmerikan: Problem if he have 1000 addresses there ;)
[07:41] <ChaosSaber> just under links I have 63, just didn't want to copy and paste each link
[07:41] <iAmerikan> qin: I asume - since they're .url files - that he wouldn't save more than one to the file.
[07:42] <Sajuukthanatoskh> wols_ : I need it removed asap pretty much, it is mucking up my updating of my server
[07:42] <hammoommah> yeah i know 3 partitions on drive boot partition ext4 formatted partition for data/os and swap partition
[07:43] <BullShark> ChaosSaber -> you trying to get your bookmarks from linux to windows?
[07:43] <wols_> Sajuukthanatoskh: and I gave you suggestions what to do
[07:43] <BullShark> ChaosSaber -> i meant from windows to linux
[07:43] <BullShark> ChaosSaber -> that's a tedious way to do it. there's a much easier way
[07:43] <iAmerikan> BullShark: they're in a backup folder in files named f.url
[07:44] <Sajuukthanatoskh> wols_ : I have some good news and some bad news
[07:44] <ChaosSaber> No from windows to linux
[07:44] <ChaosSaber> these are saved from IE
[07:44] <Sajuukthanatoskh> wols_ : The good news: You helped me get rid of a problem that has plagued me for ages, bad news is i can't take you out for a drink for helping me :(
[07:44] <ChaosSaber> couldn't I just switch to windows, export and then import to firefox?
[07:45] <iAmerikan> ChaosSaber: that's one way
[07:45] <wols_> ChaosSaber: run windows, install firefox and let it import the IE bookmarks as it asks to. then take the firefox bookmarks file from windows to linux
[07:45] <shorttech> hi guys, I have a quick question. Do I have to configure the "su" command? I'm trying to use "su -" but its not accepting my password.
[07:45] <rhin0> YankDownUnder: researched this a bit -- from what I can tell the nvidia proprietary drivers have been superceded --- installing 'nv' or 'nouveau' 3d drivers -- from forum stuff I stand a chance -- will go with  that tomorrow ... btw "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" didn't do anything to reconfigure -- just returned to the bash prompt
[07:45] <ChaosSaber> I worked with it for 20 mins then figured I better ask before it gave me a headache, I started out to just copy and pasting links but that was a pain
[07:46] <wols_> shorttech: no you don't. there is no root account on ubuntu. use sudo
[07:46] <pksadiq> shorttech: you might have to do sudo -i   to login as root
[07:46] <todd__> Why are new fonts in svg files not displaying in firefox, even though it works fine in Image Viewer???
[07:46] <iAmerikan> ChaosSaber: worked with exporting?
[07:46] <rhin0> because I really don't want to use xubuntu its less luxurious
[07:46] <rhin0> ubuntu = luxury
[07:46] <iAmerikan> rhin0: aren't you on an ATI card?
[07:46] <BullShark> shorttech -> use sudo
[07:46] <islevegan> greetings. my drupal 7 site on ubuntu 11.04 is not sending email for account creation, password retrieval, etc. i think this has been a problem since it was freshly installed. not sure where / how to start a resolution. i already asked in the #drupal room but have not received a response yet.
[07:46] <ChaosSaber> Im gonna switch to windows ina few and run firefox and let it pull my favorites from IE
[07:46] <shorttech> got it! I just switched from mandriva
[07:46] <shorttech> thank you
[07:46] <rhin0> i'm on an nvidia card on the machine thats giving me problems iAmerikan
[07:46] <BullShark> shorttech -> noobs do not need root prompts, even experienced users rarely use them
[07:46] <iAmerikan> rhin0: the differences of ubuntu and xubuntu are far scarcer than you'd think.
[07:47] <todd__> How do I install fonts so they show up in firefox???
[07:47] <iAmerikan> rhin0: switching spins won't change your driver issue.
[07:47] <rhin0> major difference = xfce on xubuntu gnome on ubuntu iAmerikan
[07:47] <qin> ChaosSaber: Can you paste one of this files to paste.ubuntu.com
[07:47] <rhin0> what do you mean by "switching spins" iAmerikan?
[07:47] <msponge> question for vim veterans- how commonly would you say c/c++ *nix developers use omnicomplete/intellisense or other forms of code completion in vi/vim?
[07:47] <ChaosSaber> what it says in gedit?
[07:47] <qin> ChaosSaber: yes
[07:47] <ChaosSaber> !paste
[07:47] <BullShark> ChaosSaber -> you don't have to do that. there's a way to export your bookmarks in IE to .html and import them in linux firefox. i just did it the other day for a friend
[07:48] <shorttech> BullShark, but I need to install a program
[07:48] <shorttech> BullShark, is there any other way to do it?
[07:48] <qin> BullShark: There is cat in linux.
[07:48] <BullShark> shorttech -> so use sudo where root is needed
[07:48] <rhin0> iAmerikan: what do you mean by "switching spins"
[07:48] <rhin0> i suppose its just switching OS
[07:48] <BullShark> shorttech -> sudo ./file.sh
[07:48] <BullShark> shorttech -> what u installing
[07:48] <shorttech> crossover latest version
[07:48] <Zelda> can someone explain to me why my mute button is stuck on when its not muted?
[07:49] <BullShark> come to ##blackhats and iAmerikan and I will help anybody here
[07:49] <iAmerikan> rhin0: it's not switching an OS because they all use the linux kernel. even moreso you're still using ubuntu. you can install lxde or xfce from normal ubuntu.
[07:49] <ChaosSaber> http://paste.ubuntu.com/632223/
[07:49] <rhin0> I thought the problem may have been with the gdm interaction with the driver -- so I thought that using a lighter weight gdm could solve the problem
[07:49] <wols_> BullShark: don't do that
[07:49] <iAmerikan> Zelda: sounds like your sound card isn't set up
[07:49] <Zelda> I have audio, but its stuck on
[07:49] <iAmerikan> Zelda: try opening up a terminal, and typing alsamixer
[07:49] <Zelda> ok
[07:49] <iAmerikan> and playing with those levels to do what you wish (:
[07:49] <rhin0> but now I know that the nvidia drivers have been superceded it wasn't that obvious -- use the latest driver - always -- I saw "3d" and actually clicked I don't want that (don't see in 3d) but it's not just that its the whole driver
[07:50] <Rodensky> Using Xubuntu 10.04, suddenly I got a dialog window with the following text: http://paste.ubuntu.com/632198/
[07:50] <shorttech> BullShark, sudo ./file is not working. I'm getting a Syntax error: newline unexpected
[07:50] <rhin0> ok thanks iAmerikan
[07:50] <Zelda> they are on. I have audio, but the mute button is lit up
[07:51] <qin> ChaosSaber: One moment
[07:51] <iAmerikan> rhin0: ask here about how to switch grafics drivers (:
[07:51] <rhin0> iAmerikan: it is easy with 11.04 I just didn't select it -- now I know hopefully (after wasting almost a day)
[07:51] <iAmerikan> rhin0: did you do what YankDownUnder suggested?
[07:52] <iAmerikan> if not _DO IT_ it sounds like a good fix.
[07:52] <root____1> where i can find help to configuration mrtg on ubuntu 10.10
[07:52] <Zelda> ok looks like that fixed it. Thanks.
[07:52] <rhin0> iAmerikan I just typed this to YankDownUnder: "YankDownUnder: researched this a bit -- from what I can tell the nvidia proprietary drivers have been superceded --- installing 'nv' or 'nouveau' 3d drivers -- from forum stuff I stand a chance -- will go with  that tomorrow ... btw "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" didn't do anything to reconfigure -- just returned to the bash prompt"
[07:52] <rhin0> thats what i'm doing tomorrow
[07:52] <Zelda> Now heres another issue. Is the wireless button supposed to be flashing all the time when I have a wireless connection?
[07:52] <Zelda> Its annoyin
[07:53] <ser_> hola
[07:53] <rhin0> zelda -- on a wireless usb dongle they do flash
[07:53] <rhin0> maybe you could put some tape over it zelda
[07:53] <Zelda> its not usb, its the mobo lite
[07:53] <iAmerikan> rhin0: ask here how to change the xorg grafic driver on ubuntu./gnome
[07:53] <rhin0> well put a little bit of tape over it
[07:53] <Zelda> lol, that would be ghetto
[07:53] <rmena_> Hello everyone
[07:53] <Zelda> in windows it stays solid, linux it flashes.
[07:53] <rhin0> ok iAmerikan -- but why didn't sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg work? -- it returned to the bash prompt without doing anything
[07:53] <todd__> How do I install fonts so they show up in firefox???
[07:54] <rhin0> zelda it means its doing good things
[07:54] <iAmerikan> rhin0: did you do it after stopping Gnome?
[07:54] <rhin0> yes iAmerikan
[07:54] <rhin0> i shut down the gdm
[07:54] <Zelda> yeah means im getting data passing back and forth.
[07:54] <iAmerikan> rhin0: he thought you'd get the option to select the driver.
[07:54] <Zelda> just wondered if there was a way to make it solid.
[07:54] <Abhijit> pksadiq, pm
[07:54] <rhin0> yep iAmerikan thats what he said
[07:55] <rhin0> but *nothing* -- returned to bash prompt -- may as well not have typed it
[07:55] <iAmerikan> rhin0: it did do something, but you couldn't see it.
[07:55] <Zelda> anyone want to help me get my HDMI port working?
[07:55] <rhin0> so maybe I do it again to be sure tomorrow on the new install when I do it
[07:55] <iAmerikan> rhin0: I'm telling you, don't try a new install :O
[07:55] <wols_> rhin0: it will never do anything and hasn't been doing anything for 2-3 years
[07:55] <iAmerikan> rhin0: does gnome not load?
[07:56] <iAmerikan> wols_: are you talking about reconfiguring xorg?
[07:56] <Zelda> Cpu doesnt even recognize that I have one. I have tried bios and I get nothing. No option for the HDMI.
[07:56] <rhin0> iAmerikan: where im at is getting the system back -- had installed xubuntu -- I was re-installing now I will re-install back
[07:56] <iAmerikan> rhin0: You can install xfce from any ubuntu -___-
[07:56] <iAmerikan> rhin0: I'm about to tell you how to switch to nv
[07:56] <rhin0> is it that easy in ubuntu 11.04?  iAmerikan -- how many steps?
[07:57] <rhin0> ok please do iAmerikan
[07:57] <iAmerikan> rhin0: you can use synaptic honestly.
[07:57] <iAmerikan> but gimme a second, and I'll throw you some instructions
[07:57] <rhin0> ah.  somebody said it wasn't that simple
[07:57] <shorttech> to install a .deb file all I need to do is - sudo dpkg -i /file name ???
[07:57] <iAmerikan> It's REALLY simple rhin0
[07:57] <rhin0> yes shortee
[07:57] <wols_> shorttech: yes
[07:57] <iAmerikan> shorttech: yeee
[07:57] <iAmerikan> rhin0: so, are you on the ubuntu box?
[07:57] <shorttech> just double checking - tank you
[07:57] <iAmerikan> or does gnome load?
[07:58] <rhin0> no i have retired fo rthe night
[07:58] <iAmerikan> shorttech: we all forget some times.
[07:58] <iAmerikan> rhin0: Okay then.
[07:58] <iAmerikan> GN
[07:58] <rhin0> are you here tomorrow iAmerikan?
[07:58] <rhin0> I am able to install nv -- nouveau -- it will probably be ok
[07:58] <rhin0> just covering all bases
[07:59] <iAmerikan> rhin0: I'll be on freenode. Not sure if I'm going to be in this channel though.
[07:59] <Zelda> thanks for the quick and easy help guys.
[07:59] <iAmerikan> rhin0: reinstalling isn't enough.
[07:59] <rhin0> ok thanks
[07:59] <shorttech> and how can I check where the files were installed?
[07:59] <iAmerikan> rhin0: all it takes is changing one line of a file, and restarting, after the driver is installed.
[07:59] <rhin0> to do what exactly iAmerikan
[07:59] <iAmerikan> rhin0: open this up, in case people here don't help http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=435484
[08:00] <iAmerikan> you just sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change that line.
[08:00] <rhin0> I thought xorg.conf wasn't in existance anymore iAmerikan
[08:01] <wols_> rhin0: you are right
[08:01] <shorttech> guys, after I install a .deb file using sudo - i dpkg how do I check where the program went and if it was installed correct give that no errors were given during the install
[08:01] <shorttech> I just installed crossover, but I cant find where it went
[08:01] <cradam> nano ftw
[08:01] <cradam> lol
[08:02] <rhin0> man dpkg -- will give you all the options for dpkg -- one may say where the files go upon install
[08:02] <wols_> shorttech: dpkg -l <packagename>   if the line starts with "ii" it's installed fine. to check what files are in a package: "dpkg -L <packagename>"
[08:02] <cradam> does anyone know of something similar to wine but for mac applications?
[08:02] <wols_> shorttech: I suggest "dpkg -L <packagename> |grep bin" to see the binaries you can run
[08:02] <rhin0> l8r iAmerikan
[08:03] <shorttech> wols_, the "packagename" is the name of the install file?
[08:03] <wols_> cradam: does not exist. once upon a time there was something like this for MacOS 7 or so but that is 10 years ago
[08:03] <wols_> shorttech: no. the install file also has the version numbers and the .deb extensions, the package name doesn't. try "dpkg -l |grep -i crossover" and you will see
[08:04] <iAmerikan> rhin0: xorg.conf isn't needed for general setups
[08:04] <rhin0> ok
[08:04] <iAmerikan> but isn't depreciated when you need to change things up
[08:04] <iAmerikan> so if it doesn't work, I'll try to stick around in here, and I'll help you make one, and edit it.
[08:04] <rhin0> you have to generate it iAmerikan
[08:04] <iAmerikan> just /q me.
[08:04] <iAmerikan> I know.
[08:04] <rhin0> ok thanks
[08:04] <rhin0> going to sleep
[08:04] <iAmerikan> gn
[08:04] <rhin0> ty
[08:05] <shorttech> wols_, it has the "ii" in front so in theory it should be installed correct, but how do I access the program?
[08:05] <wols_> shorttech: I told you
[08:05] <cradam> thanks wols_ shame that a max OS7 one wouldnt help anymore
[08:07] <preecher> will the "ubuntu customization kit" enable me to make a copy of ubuntu with all the progs/packages i want ? and will i be able to put it on a usb flash drive like i do the ubuntu iso's?

[08:09] <wols_> !repeat > root_____
[08:10] <root_____> iam new for irc who i can reach your privet massege
[08:10] <wols_> !repeat | root_____
[08:11] <wols_> root_____: and you should never ever irc as root. never
[08:11] <casa> now iam casa :D
[08:12] <casa> i look in all search with no hope
[08:12] <wols_> casa: you are still root<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[08:12] <Karen_m> i have about 20 videos I want to convert so I can watch them on my ipad, is there a way to automate a folder so that I can move the videos in and it produces the ipad compatible videos?
[08:12] <casa> i had install mrtg on many machine but now i try to install in vps ubuntu 10.10
[08:13] <Apple_Cat> NielsMkn: FlashGet, JDownloader, Gwget Download Manager, Aria 2, Axel Download Accelerator, cURL and Wget
[08:13] <wols_> Karen_m: you'd write a script
[08:13] <NielsMkn> Are they good like IDM and DAP?
[08:14] <NielsMkn> I've use jdownloader and I liked it but it couldn't get high speeds like IDM
[08:14] <Apple_Cat> NielsMkn: Check for yourself, they are all quite different from each other so I think it will just be the one that you like the most, not necessarily the 'best' one
[08:15] <Apple_Cat> NielsMkn: Strange that the speeds would differ between programs, I wouldn't have thought that would be an issue
[08:15] <Karen_m> wols, which app converts it tho?
[08:16] <wols_> Karen_m: ffmpeg is one which does. command line tho. dunno what gui apps there are
[08:17] <iAmerikan> Karen_m: I can write something in python if you'd like :x
[08:17] <bsmith093> it seems that everything i try to download that inst just a normal browser window type download, is EXTREMELY slow. i have roadrunne, and normally get around 1.2mbps down 360kbps up, but with these special case downloads im getting 10k max. any solutions?
[08:18] <iAmerikan> bsmith093: what's the source of these 'special case downloads'?
[08:18] <bsmith093> pretty much anything except manually downloading something from a browser
[08:19] <Apple_Cat> bsmith093: What kind of downloads? Like what protocol are you having problems with?
[08:19] <Karen_m> iAmerikan, i wouldn't want you to go through the trouble.  I should have purchased a different tablet.... :)   thanks thought
[08:19] <Karen_m> though
[08:19] <iAmerikan> Karen_m: It's python, I can try something in 5 minutes (:
[08:19] <iAmerikan> What's the current format, and the desired format?
[08:19] <rhin0> hey I program python too iAmerikan -- won't use anything else now
[08:20] <bsmith093> well, whtaever python uses to download, and also gpoedder with podcasts, recently. if i run the downloads on the podcast's website, they go as fast as i would expect them to, but through gpodder they are extremely slow less than 10k\
[08:20] <qin> ChaosSaber: Sorry, distracted, http://paste.ubuntu.com/632237/ save it to file, chmod it, and run in directory where .url files are.
[08:20] <Apple_Cat> bsmith093: Could it be a problem with gpodder?
[08:21] <casa> iam connect to irc from ssh can scrole the converstion history?
[08:21] <bsmith093> possible but how do i check, the latest bug  for this was months ago and supposedly fixed
[08:22] <ChaosSaber> qin, Thanks
[08:23] <Apple_Cat> casa: try 'screen' or set your terminal scrollback
[08:23] <rhin0> casa you can use irc through ssh with bitchX
[08:23] <iAmerikan> casa: or weechat, or irssi
[08:24] <Apple_Cat> bsmith093: So there is a bug reporting the same problem you are having? If that's what it is, and it was fixed maybe you don't have the newest version
[08:24] <bsmith093> i checked. i do
[08:24] <bsmith093> updated 5 3 11
[08:24] <rhin0> although I must admit last time I looked at bitchX irc client it confused the hell out of me
[08:24] <casa> iam using scree with irssi
[08:25] <casa> iam using screen with irssi
[08:25] <wols_> then yes. you can use pgup or you can use the command /lastlog <searchterm>
[08:25] <Apple_Cat> bsmith093: Have you ever had downloading in gpodder going as fast as it should? Are there any other problems with different programs?
[08:25] <bsmith093> if i go to the feed gpodder is using for escape pod, for example the file currently downloading at 10k downloads in my borwser at 700 to 100, whick is fine by me
[08:25] <Apple_Cat> casa: Pageup and Pagedown
[08:25] <bsmith093> in order... no and yes
[08:26] <bsmith093> wait i meant no gpodder has been going fine until recently
[08:26] <iAmerikan> rhin0: weechat is great.
[08:26] <Apple_Cat> bsmith093: Are you on wireless... Any significant packet loss?
[08:26] <iAmerikan> casa: that's a nice combo.
[08:26] <rhin0> ok
[08:26] <casa> Apple_Cat thx pageup work fine
[08:26] <bsmith093> yes i am but how do i check packet loss
[08:27] <bsmith093> and besides why would that not affect browser download
[08:27] <Apple_Cat> bsmith093: Open a terminal and type 'mtr www.google.com'
[08:27] <iAmerikan> three: don't /q me, then have some lame script handle it :\
[08:27] <rhin0> I wanted an irc client that I could leave on the server -- ssh to and it would always go into the same session ie. leave the ssh session running iAmerikan
[08:27] <iAmerikan> rhin0: you can do it w/o leaving the session running.
[08:27] <iAmerikan> just ssh in, get on screen or tmux, then leave it backgrounded.
[08:28] <shorttech> #crossover
[08:28] <rhin0> thats what I don't want w/o (without) I want to be able to boot my client machine then log into a continually running irc cli thingy -- just leave my chat running in it
[08:28] <rhin0> iAmerikan:
[08:28] <Apple_Cat> bsmith093: Yeah you're right, it shouldn't make a difference but I'd check anyway. It sounds like there is just a bug in gpodder, which you could always report
[08:28] <iAmerikan> rhin0:  I see that.
[08:28] <bsmith093> should this end at some point
[08:29] <iAmerikan> rhin0: That's why you'd use screen or tmux
[08:29] <casa> who casa i had try all google link about error in line 353 but i think no one yat try to install mrtg on vps server on ubuntu10.10 server
[08:29] <Apple_Cat> bsmith093: Well... If gpodder is the *only* app that isn't downloading at full speed
[08:29] <iAmerikan> because you can leave a session running, then re ssh, and reconnect to the already running session.
[08:29] <rhin0> but it would be a way of using ssh and not the irc client that would enable that iAmerikan -- haven't looked into it
[08:29] <rhin0> re:  re command?
[08:29] <iAmerikan> rhin0: you'd use both tmux(or screen) and an irc client
[08:29] <Apple_Cat> bsmith093: It ends when you want it to, the important thing is to check the Loss% column
[08:30] <rhin0> ok ty
[08:30] <iAmerikan> Cybergeek2021: Stop it, right there.
[08:30] <Apple_Cat> bsmith093: press q to quit
[08:30] <uuuuugf> yo i need help upgrading my gfs laptop
[08:31] <uuuuugf> its running ubuntu 9.04
[08:31] <owen1> wols_: nothing in dmesg
[08:31] <iAmerikan> uuuuugf: it's do-able from some menu in synaptic. just upgrade one step, every time.
[08:31] <Karen_m> for some reason, a directory thinks I have a billion files in it.  So when I do a : ls -la In the folder, it takes a while.    why is that?
[08:32] <Karen_m> shouldn't it recache it somehow?
[08:32] <bsmith093> Apple_Cat: cable-mac1.irndnyaf-ar4002.nyroc was 27.5% loss, but now its down to 4.7
[08:32] <iAmerikan> Karen_m: I don't think ls caches.
[08:32] <wols_> owen1: if there is utterly nothing when you connect the sansa, then linux cannot deal with it, but _something_ new must be there
[08:32] <wols_> owen1: otherwise either your usb or the sansa is dead
[08:33] <Apple_Cat> uuuuugf: Easiest (and my preference) is just to back up what you want to keep, reinstall and then transfer the stuff back. Alternatively see here http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/upgrade
[08:33] <wols_> !upgrade > uuuuugf
[08:33] <uuuuugf> okay, how do i do it thru the synaptic package manager?
[08:33] <bsmith093> higest loss ratio appeaars to be <IP_ADDRESS> what/where ever that is
[08:33] <wols_> uuuuugf: tho, with that many versions behind, it might be faster to simply reinstall. depending on what version you want to run in the future.
[08:34] <casa> ubottu who can i see private message?
[08:34] <laoyi> ubottu is a bot?
[08:34] <iAmerikan> casa: what's the private message question
[08:34] <uuuuugf> i would like to upgrade enough to run a sandbox program for gaming and emulation
[08:35] <Apple_Cat> laoyi: Shh, it's a secret
[08:35] <wols_> uuuuugf: you can only upgrade to 9.10, frm there to 10.04 and so on. you cannot leave out any step
[08:35] <uuuuugf> so how do i do it?
[08:35] <casa> < ubottu> root_____, please see my private messag
[08:35] <bsmith093> Apple_Cat: any other advice?
[08:35] <casa> who can i read it
[08:36] <wols_> casa: alt+<number> switches between windows in irssi
[08:36] <wols_> casa: windows with activity are hihglighted in the status bar. white or purple
[08:36] <iAmerikan> why are so many people querying me blank spaces from this channel, then if I reply, they have some "Don't PM me w/o my permission" spam goin, when they query'd me
[08:36] <choel> uuuuugf, update-manager -d
[08:36] <iAmerikan> casa: or ctrl+n/p to go one left or right
[08:37] <bsmith093> iAmerikan: mee to therr and two others twice now
[08:37] <uuuuugf> tried that, repositories dont work and i dont kno enough abt ubuntu to fix it
[08:37] <bsmith093> uuuuugf: what version are you running
[08:37] <uuuuugf> 9.04
[08:37] <uuuuugf> jaunty
[08:37] <Apple_Cat> bsmith093: Can I just check everything again? So all other programs (and protocols) seem to work fine (as far as you know) but gpodder has a slow download speed. I am assuming that gpodder doesn't require any special ports to be forwarded, so it seems gpodder is the problem (so report a bug :). You are on wireless and are having no packet loss
[08:38] <bsmith093> Apple_Cat: yes
[08:38] <Apple_Cat> bsmith093: Ok well there's your question answered, I'm sorry the problem isn't fixed though.
[08:38] <bsmith093> recently, but gpodder has had no updates to cause this
[08:39] <bsmith093> anyone else having this probelm here
[08:39] <Apple_Cat> bsmith093: None that you are aware of, or none at all?
[08:39] <qin> bsmith093: What is gpodder?
[08:39] <bsmith093> none i checked the ppa, which i use for gppodder, and it hasnt been updated since 5 3 11
[08:40] <Apple_Cat> qin: it's a rss aggregator/downloader
[08:40] <Apple_Cat> qin: rss feed*
[08:40] <bsmith093> Cybergeek2021:  stop pm ing me please
[08:40] <pc> Hello,, i HAVE A PROBLEM IN GETTING BACK TO THE PREVIOUS PAGE IN FIREFOX ? any solution would be appreciated
[08:40] <qin> bsmith093: How you estimate rss download speed?
[08:41] <qin> !caps | pc
[08:41] <Apple_Cat> bsmith093: Tried reinstalling gpodder?
[08:41] <bsmith093> i dont i can see it through gpodder, and its pathetic all of a sudden
[08:41] <bsmith093> how do i redownload the package too
[08:41] <bsmith093> install -f
[08:41] <Apple_Cat> pc: What do you mean? Like the back button won't work? Alt+left will work as previous page
[08:41] <pc> how can i get back to the previous page in firefox ?
[08:42] <auero> My extra drive is showing 0 bytes even after I delete something. It's also saying one of the folders is 1.7tb but the entire drive is 1.7tb after being formated and I still have other things on it. What could be wrong?
[08:42] <bsmith093> Cybergeek2021: you are really starting to bug me.
[08:42] <pc> it is not working
[08:43] <pc> yes the back botton does not work ?
[08:43] <rhin0> pc maybe you have to upgrade firefox?
[08:43] <rhin0> or use chrome? Oo
[08:43] <Apple_Cat> pc: Try asking in #firefox ('/join #firefox')
[08:44] <rhin0> backpaging can be a problem -- I would first of make sure that firefox has all its updates -- then I would maybe see if there is a new version -- then I would maybe try chrome --
[08:44] <pc> I did filtering for about:config
[08:44] <pc> and it does not work either
[08:45] <wildbat> auero: did you tried repartition it ?
[08:45] <qin> pc: Do you have history in firefox?
[08:45] <auero> wildbat: I just wiped the drive and moved data on it a day ago
[08:45] <pc> what do you mean'' history''?
[08:45] <cna> dzien dobry
[08:45] <qin> !pl
[08:45] <rhin0> erase cookies in firefox?
[08:46] <rhin0> maybe try that
[08:46] <qin> pc: Browsing history
[08:46] <Apple_Cat> pc: I suggest asking your question in the #firefox channel, or alternatively the #ubuntu-offtopic channel. This is a support channel for Ubuntu
[08:46] <cna> #ubuntu-pl
[08:46] <qin> cna: /j #ubuntu-pl
[08:47] <pc> okay I'll do thx
[08:47] <rhin0> getting spurious messages here from users such as McInUser82673 -- ops - spurious blank messages
[08:47] <pc> history yes I do have some
[08:47] <qin> pc: Do it work, sort by date
[08:47] <wildbat> auero: backup those data ~ can do a disk scan that drive might be no, what fs you use ?
[08:48] <widewake> - Hello,  is there a way to placing pannel accessories onto your desktop? instead of the pannel
[08:49] <Apple_Cat> widewake: Do you mean placing shortcuts or launchers on the desktop?
[08:49] <auero> wildbat: I'm using ex4. I'm just trying anything at this point because it's almost 2TB of data
[08:49] <lotuspsychje> anyone knows if ubuntu changes cpu freq by default?
[08:49] <soramamegenkisu> maybe
[08:50] <pc> yes it works sort by date
 yes it works by sort by date
[08:51] <qin> pc: Do last sites register in history?
what is the problem of that
[08:51] <Apple_Cat> lotuspsychje: For powersaving in laptops?
no it is not
[08:52] <widewake> Apple_Cat,  items like workspace switcher
[08:52] <widewake> and drawers
[08:53] <lotuspsychje> Apple_Cat: its on my desktop box, my abit mobo warns me with beeps, but all values seem right, so i was wondering if ubuntu changes anything on cpu by default...
[08:53] <rhin0> wouldn't think cpu settings ie clock speed could be changed without going through the bios
[08:53] <Apple_Cat> widewake: I'm not very familiar with gnome, but can't you right click on the desktop and add things that way? Alternatively unlock the items in the panel and drag them onto the desktop
[08:53] <qin> pc: Either firefox setting or permission of firefox directories
[08:54] <widewake> Apple_Cat, alright, ill fiddle some more =p
[08:54] <wildbat> auero: run du -h --max-depth 1 /that/drive/
do you mean firefox setting is not okay !!
[08:54] <Apple_Cat> lotuspsychje: as far as I know, there is no cpu frequency scaling enabled by default on Ubuntu
[08:55] <wildbat> auero: you may wanna clear the trash can too
[08:55] <qin> pc: Well, check them, also ls -l <folder used by firefox>, or check bash history what you did.
[08:55] <lotuspsychje> rhin0: what would this mean in syslogs: R00TB0X kernel: [    9.999215] cfg80211: Disabling freq 5845 MHz
[08:56] <rhin0> no idea lotuspsychje
[08:57] <auero> wildbat: trash is empty. 81G	/media/sdb1/misc     1.7T	/media/sdb1/movies  16K	/media/sdb1/lost+found  1.8T	/media/sdb1
[08:57] <rhin0> i would find out what R00TB0X is lotuspsychje
[08:57] <lotuspsychje> rhin0: lol thats my boxname
[08:58] <wildbat> auero: so it is full then ~ delete some moives ! XD
[08:58] <rhin0> cfg80211 i just googled is linux wireless
[08:58] <auero> wildbat: I did! I used to have 53gb free! I deleted some stuff and it still says 0 bytes.
[08:59] <lotuspsychje> rhin0: ok tnx, nothing with cpu related then
[08:59] <rhin0> something doing something to your wireless driver?
[08:59] <rhin0> are you firewalled etc
[08:59] <wildbat> auero: fsck it
[09:01] <shorttech> guys when I ran "sudo fdisk -l" I should be able to see my second hard drive with windows correct?
[09:01] <shorttech> even if its not mounted
[09:01] <gry> Only if you mount it I think.
[09:01] <wildbat> shorttech: yes  if your mbr is correct
[09:02] <shorttech> wildbat, mbr???
[09:02] <auero> wildbat: clean. I think I'll just back to back it up and reformat :\
[09:03] <Xgates> hey guys
[09:03] <Xgates> are there any apps for disabling services in Ubuntu?
[09:03] <wildbat> auero: did you do  -f t check ~
[09:04] <wildbat> Xgates:  man service
[09:05] <wildbat> shorttech: Master Boot Record ~ that where your partition table sit
[09:05] <Xgates> wildbat: I'm asking for something like an ncurses front end to work with, not the cli
[09:06] <qin> Xgates: htop
[09:06] <shorttech> wildbat, and where do I check that?
[09:06] <wildbat> Xgates: no idea then ~ sorry
[09:07] <shorttech> wildbat, I see the hard drive in the Disk Utility
[09:07] <wildbat> shorttech: what exactly you are trying to do ?
[09:07] <shorttech> Im trying to access my second hard drive
[09:08] <shorttech> wildbat,  Im trying to access my second physical hard drive
[09:08] <Xgates> ok
[09:08] <wildbat> you can mount it in Disk Util. then
[09:08] <[Spooky]> Hello. Is there any fix for mobile internet (E620) in 11.04? I have tried to get it running with the livecd and no luck...
[09:08] <ChaosSaber> qin, I am a little lost on the whole chmod thing
[09:08] <shorttech> wildbat, the problem is that disk utility is telling me its mount already
[09:09] <shorttech> wildbat, it says monted but the mount point is not there
[09:10] <wildbat> shorttech: pastebin  : mount , fdisk -l , ls -al /media
[09:12] <shorttech> wildbat, http://pastebin.com/5ReZRLZY
[09:12] <qin> ChaosSaber: chmod 755 file.sh
[09:13] <wildbat> shorttech:  ar... my bad ~  paste this >>   sudo mount ; sudo fdisk-l; sudo ls -al /media
[09:16] <shorttech> wildbat, http://pastebin.com/8myjp0CU
[09:16] <qin> ChaosSaber: man chmod ala *qin* -> there owner, group, other; each may execute (x), write (w), read (r). So, first --- is for owner, second --- for group (check with "ls -l"), so --r------ means owner can read.
[09:17] <wildbat> shorttech: grr typo missing == ~ fdisk -l
[09:19] <shorttech> wildbat, ?? Did you do a typo on the last
[09:20] <wildbat> shorttech: ya missing a space between    fdisk -l

[09:27] <TESTMARKT> hi
[09:27] <TESTMARKT> i need help
[09:27] <wildbat> shorttech: unless you have a thrid that ubuntu didn't detected it
[09:27] <TESTMARKT> please help me
[09:27] <rhin0> hi TESTMARKT
[09:27] <TESTMARKT> hi
[09:27] <Rodensky> rhin0, it's like chinese, what am I suppose to do in the device managing thing?
[09:27] <TESTMARKT> if i maximize sdome windows
[09:27] <TESTMARKT> they move to another desktop
[09:27] <TESTMARKT> some
[09:28] <TESTMARKT> some
[09:28] <wildbat> shorttech: i guess you have your windows formatted by accident during install
[09:28] <rhin0> what window manager are you using TESTMARKT
[09:29] <TESTMARKT> unity
[09:29] <hayseus> smells
[09:29] <TESTMARKT> if i try to maximie windows if they are in the edge
[09:30] <rhin0> some reason in those articles I googled it talks about speakers are unplugged rodensky --
[09:30] <TESTMARKT> they change to another virtual desktopp
[09:30] <Rodensky> rhin0, it's a laptop, i use only the built in speakers, and anyway it happened out of the blue
[09:30] <wildbat> TESTMARKT: that's y i quit Unity ;p
[09:30] <shorttech> wildbat, so sda is where I htought my windows was
[09:31] <rhin0> TESTMARKT -- there is a way to disable unity -- by switching to "classic view" when you click on the user on loggin in -- to see if it is a unity problem -- it could be a unity gdm (graphical display manager) problem
[09:31] <TESTMARKT> rhin0 i dont think so
[09:31] <TESTMARKT> rhin0 its because there are many virtual dekstops
[09:31] <wildbat> shorttech: i don't know ~ both is linux format now
[09:31] <rhin0> rodensky -- what I googled talks about "happened after an upgrade" ... have you loaded all the updates after the upgrade?  -- what didyou upgrade to?
[09:31] <TESTMARKT> and i have under classic the same
[09:31] <TESTMARKT> if i move a window to the corner
[09:32] <shorttech> wildbat, crap...
[09:32] <TESTMARKT> and then if i will maximize it
[09:32] <rhin0> and it flips to the other desktop
[09:32] <TESTMARKT> they change the virtual desktop
[09:32] <TESTMARKT> yesss
[09:32] <Rodensky> rhin0, it's a fresh install, no upgrades
[09:32] <root__> hi
[09:32] <Rodensky> When I choose device manager and in it I choose to test the devices I get a nitifications that says: Phonon: KDE's Multimedia Library: The audio playback device HDA Intel (STAC92xx Analog) does not work. Falling back to HDA Intel (STAC92xx Digital)
[09:32] <wildbat> shorttech:  do /media/2bd06574-f512-4524-8e96-b2b64479aacf have data in it ?
[09:32] <shorttech> wildbat, so how is there a way to access disk utility with sudo?
[09:32] <Rodensky> and it does that for all devices
[09:33] <wildbat> shorttech: you can run it with gksu
[09:33] <TESTMARKT> rhin0: if i change the number of virtual desktops to 1 it works, but it must work with 4 too
[09:33] <root__> mrt heltp to instal in vps ubuntu10.10 index error 353

[09:33] <wildbat> shorttech: if not you may try testdisk see if you can recover that drive
[09:33] <shorttech> wildbat, you are right.. I formated my windows by accident when I installed ubuntu
[09:34] <rhin0> ah yes - because you are using unity
[09:34] <shorttech> wildbat, I meant to format the HD with mandriva....
[09:34] <casa> who to close window not quit irc
[09:34] <cypha> thanks qin
[09:34] <rhin0> here you go TESTMARKT -- here is a bug -- now you must find out how it has been resolved -- I just googled to find this out for you https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/776435
[09:35] <wildbat> shorttech: hehe accident happen ~ hope you have data back up ;p
[09:35] <rhin0> it looks like an open bug (unsolved) -- TESTMARKT
[09:36] <TESTMARKT> rhin0 yes but
[09:36] <TESTMARKT> it must be set in the ccsm
[09:36] <TESTMARKT> i think
[09:36] <rhin0> i've seen 1 forum post and one other linux post for this (recently) -- both with no response - lookslike an open bug
[09:37] <TESTMARKT> oh
[09:37] <casa> .
[09:37] <casa> .
[09:37] <TESTMARKT> that really frustes me
[09:37] <cypha> how do I change the font at the terminal?
[09:37] <cypha> i'm on ubuntu server
[09:37] <gry> casa: Need help with something?
[09:37] <TESTMARKT> rhin0 dont you have the problem too?
[09:37] <rhin0> no.
[09:37] <TESTMARKT>
[09:37] <TESTMARKT> ok why how do you maximizes windows
[09:38] <gry> TESTMARKT: The middle button of the top 3.
[09:38] <TESTMARKT> gry: i know
[09:38] <TESTMARKT> gry: but if the window is moved to thew edge
[09:38] <TESTMARKT> and then i will press it, it changes the virtual desktop
[09:39] <gry> Right click it, move to the workspace you like.
[09:39] <TESTMARKT> gry: it should
[09:39] <shorttech> wildbat, how do I check my ubuntu is installed. I want to make sure I format the right HD this time :)
[09:39] <TESTMARKT> stay on the main desktop
[09:39] <TESTMARKT> but it dont
[09:40] <wildbat> shorttech: you mean where your ubuntu is installed?
[09:40] <rhin0> its a bug = bug ref: 776435  https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/776435  TESTMARKT
[09:40] <shorttech> wildbat, yes thats correct
[09:41] <wildbat> shorttech: sudo blkid
[09:41] <wildbat> shorttech: note the UUID ~
[09:41] <TESTMARKT> PERFEKT rhin0
[09:41] <TESTMARKT> that is it
[09:41] <shorttech> wildbat, I see UUID on both sda and sdb
[09:42] <rhin0> must go
[09:42] <wildbat> shorttech: after you boot live CD ~ run it again ~ check which match your current ubuntu partition ~ you ubuntu now is on  sda1
[09:43] <poptisse> How do I apply - The specific part being disable workarounds -> Don't wait for video sync and Enable Workarounds -> Force full screen redrews (buffer swap) on repaint
[09:44] <poptisse> I understand that its under compizconfig - I don't get how i can both enable and disable workarounds at the same time????
[09:45] <miasma> hi, is there a known problem that ubuntu 11.4 can't be installed alongside windows 7 ? the installer gave two options "replace windows 7" and "something else". in the something else screen a partitioning tool opens but i can't choose the mount point for any partition. the box is grayed
[09:45] <root__> mrtg error in line 353 (vps ubuntu 10.10 server)
[09:45] <shorttech> wildbat, so disk utility is stating I have a few bad sectors... Does that mean one of my HD has problems and need to be replaced?
[09:46] <miasma> and forgot to tell that there's both free space and an ext4 partition for ubuntu ready, but it won't use them
[09:46] <wildbat> shorttech: nope ~ unless you have really alot like >5% of your drive ~ bad sector is now standard "feature" of HDD now XD
[09:47] <shorttech> wildbat, good that makes me feel better
[09:48] <poptisse> wildbat - can you have a go at helping me out - my issue is simple just that i am new to ubuntu
[09:48] <wildbat> !helpme| poptisse
[09:48] <miasma> so apparently your 11.04 installer is broken http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubuntu-11-04natty-installercannot-manually-specify-a-mount-point-in-the-manual-partitoner.html
[09:50] <wildbat> poptisse: i don't know the answer to your question if someone know he will answer
[09:50] <miasma> i wonder how it got past the official QA that you can't even install ubuntu
[09:51] <qin> ChaosSaber: You good there?
[09:51] <ChaosSaber> Im workin on it lol
[09:51] <ChaosSaber> I'll figure it out sometime lol
[09:51] <Rodensky> please help me with this problem: http://paste.ubuntu.com/632266/
[09:52] <ChaosSaber> I can normaly figure this stuff out, just sometimes it takes longer then other times lol
[09:52] <ChaosSaber> I don't really know any of the cmds just yet
[09:53] <qin> ChaosSaber: Ok, do you know "cd" command?
[09:53] <gry> Rodensky: -> #xubuntu
[09:53] <ChaosSaber> like cd dir
[09:53] <Rodensky> gry I already tried there today, no one seemed to be able to help
[09:53] <qin> ChaosSaber: Sure, cd to that directory where .url are.
[09:54] <ChaosSaber> Im there now
[09:54] <poptisse> I have an issue with compizconfig settings I am not too sure how to apply some settings for a fix i am rather confused about it.
[09:54] <qin> ok, Do you know nano?
[09:54] <ChaosSaber> not yet
[09:55] <casa2> mrtg error in line 353 (vps ubuntu 10.10 server)
[09:55] <qin> ChaosSaber: ok, open gedit and save my script under name test.sh in that directory.
[09:55] <gry> casa2: What error?
[09:56] <ChaosSaber> done
[09:56] <qin> ChaosSaber: Now: chmod 755 test.sh
[09:56] <casa2> Use of uninitialized value $first in hash element at /usr/bin/indexmaker line 353.
[09:56] <ChaosSaber> ok it took me to a new line
[09:57] <qin> ChaosSaber: ls -l | pastebinit
[09:57] <qin> ChaosSaber: good
[09:57] <aymbot> hi, could anyone help mr out with the network issue I'm having? I'm a total noob but from what I gather it's dns related :s
[09:57] <gry> aymbot: ask
[09:57] <qin> ChaosSaber: Post link, so we see if all is nice.
[09:57] <casa2> snmpwalk walk great for local host and my addres
[09:58] <ChaosSaber> ok says I need to install pastebinit, 1 sec
[09:58] <qin> ChaosSaber: sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[09:59] <aymbot> gry: last night my internet connection just stopped working, I get a msg from chromium talking about dns. I've contacted my ISP and they find no faults and according to them my modem is connected to the fiber. I'm wondering what the cause could be
[09:59] <ChaosSaber> so far it gave me this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/632269/
[10:00] <poptisse> Does anyone have an understanding of compizconfig?
[10:00] <ChaosSaber> ok I ran that cmd so its setting up now
[10:01] <qin> ChaosSaber: Apparently you close synaptic or apt while installing.
[10:01] <qin> ChaosSaber: Yes
[10:01] <ChaosSaber> http://paste.ubuntu.com/632270/
[10:01] <gry> aymbot: Happens in each browser or Chromium only?
[10:01] <aymbot> gry: every browser
[10:02] <gry> aymbot: type " host google.com " in shell, please.
[10:02] <gry> aymbot: (Applications>Accessories>Terminal)
[10:03] <qin> ChaosSaber: Neat!
[10:04] <aymbot> gry: it says "Host google.com not found: 5(REFUSED)"
[10:04] <qin> ChaosSaber: Now, dry run for fun: bash test.sh
[10:04] <gry> aymbot: Do you have a firewall active?
[10:04] <ChaosSaber> ok I got ls: invalid option -- ' '
[10:05] <qin> ChaosSaber: From script?
[10:05] <ChaosSaber> yes
[10:05] <qin> ChaosSaber: one sec
[10:05] <ChaosSaber> thats the error I was gettin with chmod
[10:05] <aymbot> gry: I'm not sure :s my bf is usually the one who sets stuff up so I don't really know, how can I check?
[10:06] <gry> !dns
[10:06] <gry> Hm
[10:07] <gry> aymbot: I'm not sure, someone in here should be able to help, but I'm not sure how to check if firewall is running myself (other than if I did or didnt do that myself).
[10:07] <qin> ChaosSaber: Wait, what error with chmod?
[10:07] <ChaosSaber> same one
[10:07] <ChaosSaber> ls: invalid option -- ' '
[10:08] <qin> ChaosSaber: Show me command you used, please.
[10:08] <ChaosSaber> bash test.sh and chmod 775 file.sh
[10:09] <qin> ChaosSaber: Did you copy paste script, or rewrote it? '' is not ``
[10:09] <aymbot> gry: ok thanks, also if I try connecting to the network on my phone, for example, and it still doesn't work, is it safe to assume its a modem issue? and if so is it fixable via my computer or no?
[10:09] <ChaosSaber> copy paste

[10:12] <o_oll> Hey everyone. I have a silly question: How would I go about installing Nightly(Firefox Nightlies) on ubuntu? Is there a way to do it via apt-get or should I just see if I can find a .deb online?
[10:13] <country0129> Hello, Folks.  I just installed Ubuntu 11.04.  Had a little problem setting up wireless, but that's done.  Now I have problems setting up a Brother MFC990CW Printer/Scanner/Copier/Fax.  Looked through the forums.  No joy.  Downloaded the driver from Brother support, followed their instructions.  No joy.  The driver was installed from a Terminal.  Didn't work.  Installed it with Synaptic.  No joy.  Installed it with gdebi.  No joy.
[10:13] <qin> ChaosSaber: uhm, right, one moment
[10:13] <country0129> Any help?
[10:15] <miasma> country0129: have you taken a look at openprinting.org. is it even supported?
[10:15] <pksadiq> !printer | country0129
[10:15] <country0129> Cups?  Not in CUPS.
[10:16] <gry> country0129: Why not?
[10:17] <country0129> Thanks, guys.  There's one new url there.  I'll try it.
[10:17] <shorttech> wildbat, have a question. Under additional drivers it states my video card is activated but NOT in use.... Any thoughts on how I can put the drive to use???
[10:17] <country0129> I went to the CUPS site.  The printer isn't supported there.
[10:18] <miasma> country0129: if CUPS doesn't support it, you're kind of screwed with the proprietary crap
[10:18] <country0129> >miasma:  Kinda figured that...else I wouldn't have disturbed you guys here.
[10:19] <pksadiq> o_oll: try this https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-stable
[10:19] <miasma> country0129: cups also accepts those "description" files if the manufacturer provides those
[10:19] <miasma> can't remember the file extension now
[10:19] <miasma> .ppd ?
[10:19] <country0129> >misma:  lbr
[10:19] <country0129> or lpr
[10:20] <country0129> Now I can't remember.
[10:20] <miasma> country0129: http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/spec-ppd.html
[10:20] <o_oll> pksadiq thanks
[10:20] <shorttech> I have a question. Under additional drivers it states my video card is activated but NOT in use.... Any thoughts on how I can put the drive to use???
[10:20] <country0129> Let me go try those.  Thanks.
[10:21] <miasma> country0129: it only works if you have that kind of file for your printer model :)
[10:21] <country0129> I have the driver.
[10:21] <country0129> And it's for Linux.
[10:23] <Jaugenya> Hello Guys, I'm using Ubuntu Natty and need to translate a webpage displaying in Chineese to display in English. How can I do this
[10:24] <ikonia> Jaugenya: tools such as google translate
[10:24] <tensorpudding> Jaugenya: you can use google translate on the page, but that doesn't change the page, it just redisplays the text
[10:24] <tensorpudding> Jaugenya: it also is a really bad translation for chinese
[10:25] <tensorpudding> Jaugenya: automatic translation tools like google translate are the reason why china has notably bad english signage
[10:30] <miasma> tensorpudding: ubuntu could also use google translate to support those languages that don't have enough competent translators :)
[10:31] <wooter> can someone tell me the terminal command to list all *.mkv files on /media/External
[10:31] <wooter> please
[10:31] <sins-> lol
[10:31] <wooter> looking in all sub directories
[10:31] <sins-> grep is your friend
[10:31] <tensorpudding> wooter: 'ls -R *.mkv'
[10:32] <wooter> thanks tensorpudding
[10:32] <shafire> hi
[10:32] <shafire> where can i find the sha1 library?
[10:32] <ikonia> shafire: openssl
[10:32] <ikonia> it's also part of the kernel
[10:32] <ikonia> depending on what you're trying to do
[10:33] <wooter> doesnt work tensorpudding
[10:33] <ikonia> wooter: define doesn't work
[10:33] <tensorpudding> wooter: sorry, misread
[10:33] <tensorpudding> wooter: find would be more useful
[10:33] <wooter> k ill try ls -R | grep mkv ?
[10:33] <ikonia> wooter: find / -name '*.mkv' -print
[10:34] <wooter> sweet that worked, thans
[10:34] <tensorpudding> wooter: 'find /media/External -iname *.mkv'
[10:35] <tensorpudding> ugh, you need "'s around the *.mkv
[10:36] <trijntje_oneiric> !paste | ubottu
[10:37] <tensorpudding> find only supports posix regex, which are different
[10:39] <CooKieMonster> is it safe to use live cd to go online
[10:40] <wols_> yes
[10:40] <ikonia> CooKieMonster: yes
[10:40] <CooKieMonster> can i play most of the flash or video and audio file  ?
[10:40] <ikonia> CooKieMonster: you'll need to install the flash plugin

[10:43] <ikonia> The-Kernel: how did you delete it ?
[10:43] <rupesh> hello
[10:44] <rupesh> hi

[10:44] <TESTMARKT> hi
[10:44] <TESTMARKT> i need help
[10:44] <ikonia> rupesh: you said that
[10:44] <TESTMARKT> can sb help me
[10:45] <rupesh> who are you
[10:45] <ikonia> The-Kernel: can you give me the exact command you used please.
[10:45] <wildbat> !help
[10:45] <ikonia> TESTMARKT: ask a question, and we can try
[10:45] <TESTMARKT> well
[10:45] <qin> ChaosSaber: http://paste.ubuntu.com/632284/
[10:45] <TESTMARKT> if i maximize windows
[10:45] <TESTMARKT> they move to another desktop
[10:45] <qin> ChaosSaber: Improved version.
[10:45] <rupesh> by
[10:46] <ChaosSaber> that one worked
[10:46] <TESTMARKT> if i maximize windows
[10:46] <TESTMARKT> they move to another desktop
[10:47] <ikonia> TESTMARKT: you said that, if someone knows the answer, they will tell you
[10:47] <TESTMARKT> ok
[10:47] <moegirl> :>
[10:47] <TESTMARKT> i have to go to toilett to do examinations but i will be back soon
[10:47] <The-Kernel> ikonia, not really, I've rebooted since then :-/. I can look it up
[10:47] <TESTMARKT> no i meant excretion
[10:47] <TESTMARKT> s
[10:47] <eebrah> TESTMARKT: Which version of Ubuntu?
[10:47] <TESTMARKT> 11.04 unity
[10:47] <ikonia> The-Kernel: bottom line is, that command will not remove the meta device,
[10:48] <ikonia> The-Kernel: you need to stop the array first.
[10:49] <eebrah> TESTMARKT: Sorry, I don't use 11.04 or unity
[10:49] <qin> ChaosSaber: If you give me exported bookmarks from firefor, can prepare script to make import ready file.
[10:49] <The-Kernel> ikonia, I did
[10:49] <ChaosSaber> dang sdcard in my daughters phone just dead
[10:49] <ChaosSaber> died
[10:49] <qin> ChaosSaber: just load bookmarks.html into browser
[10:50] <ikonia> The-Kernel: once the array is stopped, if you remove the data from the mdadm.conf and zero the meta device superblock, it should never start again
[10:50] <The-Kernel> ikonia, that's exactly what I did
[10:50] <ikonia> The-Kernel: the command you gave me is nothing like that
[10:50] <ikonia> The-Kernel: I asked you what you did and you gave me a command that does something totally different, and didn't mention removing the data from the mdadm.conf
[10:50] <ChaosSaber> qin, Thanks
[10:51] <The-Kernel> ikonia, I don't know why but its working now, third times the charm I guess
[10:52] <TESTMARKT> i have to go to toilett to do examinations but i will be back soon
[10:52] <ikonia> TESTMARKT: you said that - enough
[10:52] <TESTMARKT> oh sorry i wanted to say i am back
[10:53] <TESTMARKT> back to my problem @eebrah: it is 11.04 unity
[10:56] <fweezel> I can't figure out how to get the resolution of this to go past 1024x768
[10:57] <TESTMARKT> i have got another question
[10:57] <TESTMARKT> ubuntu 10.04 cant trim ?
[10:57] <gry> TESTMARKT: What do you mean by "trim"?
[10:58] <TESTMARKT> TRIM is for SSDS
[10:58] <nk_> im trying to figure out why this X11 window is massive compared to the rest of the desktop: http://twitpic.com/5gkh03 any ideas?
[10:59] <shorttech> is anyone here using gnome3???
[10:59] <gry> shorttech: Nope.
[10:59] <soulwalking> #via-rs
[10:59] <TESTMARKT> yes
[10:59] <TESTMARKT> me
[11:00] <gry> It's not supported in stable release.
[11:00] <ikonia> TESTMARKT: you're not using gnome 3
[11:00] <TESTMARKT> yes i use it ikonia
[11:00] <ikonia> TESTMARKT: you just said you where using unity
[11:00] <shorttech> TESTMARKT, did you try to tweak the stupid taskbar on the left
[11:00] <ikonia> TESTMARKT: you're using unity
[11:00] <TESTMARKT> ikonia: at the moment i use gnome 3 but i want to change to unity if my problem is solved
[11:00] <ikonia> shorttech: we don't support gnome 3 in this channel, contact the person / resource you got it from for support
[11:01] <ikonia> TESTMARKT: how did you install gnome 3 ?
[11:01] <wooter> 10.10 has TRIM support TESTMARKT
[11:01] <TESTMARKT> ppa
[11:01] <shorttech> TESTMARKT, it was installed automatically when Ubuntu was installed
[11:01] <TESTMARKT> wooter : yes but i do not want to have unity
[11:01] <TESTMARKT> shorttech: that is not gnome 3
[11:01] <randomcake> Hi, I'm having trouble with sendmail reporting "unable to qualify my own domain name (Test01) -- using short name" but hosts contains "<IP_ADDRESS> mydomain.com. web1.mydomain.com." so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, am I mis-defining? or am in the wrong place?
[11:02] <TESTMARKT> shorttech: that is unity
[11:02] <shorttech> TESTMARKT, I see...
[11:02] <shorttech> TESTMARKT, it kind sucks...
[11:02] <TESTMARKT> yes
[11:02] <ikonia> randomcake: post the output of uname -a please.
[11:03] <shorttech> TESTMARKT, so I can run KDE and Gnome on Ubuntu correct?
[11:03] <TESTMARKT> shorttech: ubuntu do not have gnome
[11:03] <TESTMARKT> anymorew
[11:03] <TESTMARKT> anymore
[11:03] <ikonia> yes it does
[11:03] <ikonia> there is still gnome fall back in 11.04
[11:03] <randomcake> ah, 'Linux Test01 <IP_ADDRESS>-rscloud #8 SMP Mon Sep 20 15:54:33 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux' doesn't sound right does it ikonia?
[11:04] <TESTMARKT> ikonia: but in 11.10 nt
[11:04] <ikonia> randomcake: doesn't look like an ubuntu build
[11:04] <TESTMARKT> not
[11:04] <ikonia> TESTMARKT: we are not using 11.10 - so that is not important
[11:04] <TESTMARKT> ok
[11:05] <shorttech> TESTMARKT, so gnome is not supported by ubuntu?
[11:05] <gry> shorttech: Gnome 2 is.
[11:05] <szal> shorttech: Gnome 2 is, Gnome 3 is not (yet)
[11:06] <shorttech> gry what about KDE?
[11:06] <randomcake> it's a Rackspace cloud, but pretty sure it is Ubuntu, /etc/issue says 'Ubuntu 10.10' ikonia
[11:06] <gry> shorttech: #kubuntu
[11:06] <ikonia> randomcake: it's customised
[11:06] <ikonia> randomcake: it's not a stock ubuntu build
[11:06] <randomcake> yeah, it's rather minimal
[11:07] <shorttech> whats better on ubuntu? KDE or Gnome? or its just a matter of preference?
[11:07] <ikonia> randomcake: use the rackspace resources as they do the customisations, they know what they change etc
[11:07] <ikonia> shorttech: personal taste
[11:07] <TESTMARKT> shorttech: do not troll it is not a survey
[11:08] <shorttech> going back to KDE or gnome because this unity sucks
[11:08] <shorttech> TESTMARKT, just a question
[11:08] <TESTMARKT> use what you like
[11:10] <cloud__> how to uninstall OpenJDK and use SunJDK?
[11:11] <Abhijit> !java | cloud__
[11:12] <cloud__> thanks, i'll try.

[11:17]  * wildbat thinks it is create By Banshee
[11:19] <shorttech> quick question. Does any one if programs installed on Unity with Wine and Crossover will be available if I install and run KDE (Kubuntu)??
[11:19] <Abhijit> shorttech, yes
[11:19] <bullgard4> szal: You did not anser my question. Please re-read what I asked.
[11:20] <dr_Willis> yes
[11:20] <shorttech> Abhijit, what about all the driver work I did with Nvidia? Will that stick on Kubuntu as well?
[11:20] <cloud__> ubottu: thanks very much. now i can use SunJava.
[11:20] <oCean> bullgard4: apt-file search does not reveal a package containing that directoryname either. Most likely it's created by a 3rd party install (download? other ppa?)
[11:20] <szal> bullgard4: you asked, "What package did it install?", iow, what pkg was installed by ~/Audiobooks
[11:20] <dr_Willis> shorttech:  kde is just an alternative desktop
[11:21] <Abhijit> shorttech, whatever you do with wine or crossover remaind with them. it is nothing to do with desktopp environment. all drivers, other softwares remains as it is and runs normally
[11:21] <shorttech> Abhijit, thank you guys
[11:21] <bullgard4> szal: Your other words are wrong.
[11:22] <szal> bullgard4: no, your grammar is wrong ;) -> there's a slight difference in meaning between "What package did it install" and "What package did install it" ;)
[11:23] <dr_Willis>  a deb would nornally not add things to a users home. but running the app. the deb installed could.
[11:24] <oCean> szal: that is why we tend to say: when answering, be helpful. Any other answers might be confusing
[11:24] <szal> oCean: that's why we also say: when asking, be precise ^^
[11:26] <dr_Willis> hmm my client crashed. :(
[11:27] <confoocious> Hello. /me is on a 64b Kubuntu install, running ratpoison and a few ff tabs. I have rather expensive memory consumption of about 1GB. Is this normal with a lightweight window manager? I also see multiple processes of the same app in ps aux and htop. How do I optimize?
[11:28] <bullgard4> dr_Willis: I think that your explanation is applicable here. Most likely the culprit is Banshee.  --  Thank you.
[11:28] <dr_Willis> !limuxatemyram
[11:28] <Abhijit> !ram
[11:29] <Abhijit> :-p
[11:29] <dr_Willis> confoocious:  disk cache  is why. its not worth worrying about
[11:30] <confoocious> dr_Willis: Doesn't really affect performance?
[11:30] <dr_Willis> no it dosent
[11:30] <dr_Willis> not worth worrying about........
[11:31] <dr_Willis> if you are using swap. you nay to buy some moar ram
[11:31] <confoocious> dr_Willis: But 1 gig of RAM is normal? /me had a 32b laptop running awesome which never really did more than 150M (and ratpoison is supposed to be much lighter).
[11:31] <livcd> How do i replace pulseaudio with alsa ?
[11:32] <dr_Willis> confoocious:  its used for cache.. its perfevtly normal
[11:32] <dr_Willis> livcd:  pulse uses alsa.
[11:32] <confoocious> dr_Willis: Thanks!
[11:33] <livcd> dr_Willis: but pulse is broken
[11:33] <bullgard4> wildbat oCean Thank you for your help.
[11:33] <dr_Willis> you can remove pulse OR set spps to use alsa directly
[11:33] <TESTMARKT> i ahve a questutino
[11:33] <TESTMARKT> question

[11:44] <Abhijit> my radioo tray icon is not appearing on panel. is there any other way to look in the saved radio addresses? so that i can take them in rhythmbox and play it?
[11:44] <Abhijit> help?
[11:44] <pRoV7x>  < spc_in_plc > alright, thank u
[11:44] <dr_Willis> Abhijit:  you need to whitelist the indicator icons that are alowed to show.
[11:45] <Abhijit> dr_Willis, how to do that?
[11:45] <dr_Willis> webupd8 site had info on it
[11:45] <Gama11> hey. anyone knows a flash ide for linux?
[11:45] <pRoV7x>  i'm a littile afraid because i have two OSs boot managed by Ubunto, does resizing gonna ruin anything
[11:46] <dr_Willis> they totallr redid the whole nitification stay stuff in unity

[11:46] <livcd> lspci isnt showing my sound card
[11:46] <livcd> how i can load it ?
[11:46] <Abhijit> ??
[11:46] <Abhijit> dr_Willis, not in unity. i am in lucid.
[11:47] <dr_Willis> no idea rhen abj
[11:47] <TESTMARKT> ocean:
[11:47] <Abhijit> ok
[11:47] <TESTMARKT> i didnt work !
[11:47] <TESTMARKT> it
[11:47] <TESTMARKT> if i maximizes windows they move to another virtual desktop
[11:47] <Datte> does any body have any idea how can i have my own distro base on ubuntu?
[11:48] <sloth_> hi
[11:49] <sloth_> Can someone tell me how to view the computers on my network like i would in windows by using "net user"
[11:50] <TESTMARKT> if i maximizes windows they move to another virtual desktop
[11:51] <spc_in_plc> sloth_, Browse Network.
[11:51] <Sidewinder1> sloth_, I know there's a command to do exactly that but I forget what it is; in the meantime you could open a browser and type <IP_ADDRESS> to get into your router, and go from there. HTH.
[11:52] <sloth_> Thanks alot
[11:52] <Sidewinder1> spc_in_plc, I think he's looking for a command in terminal...
[11:54] <dr_Willis> Datte: the askubuntu.com site has a guide on remastering your own distro
[11:57] <lonejack> Hi, running 11.04. Generally to save my pw I use cryptkeeper. Now, when I run it doesn't appear it as icon on top bar(before was). Can you help me?
[11:57] <spc_in_plc> sloth_, use fping .
[11:58] <mogria> lonejack: open it in the terminal and you will get errors
[11:59] <sloth_> i type in fping and nothing happens.
[11:59] <spc_in_plc> sloth_, fping -s -g <IP ADDRESS START> <IP ADDRESS END> -r 1
[11:59] <spc_in_plc> for example: fping -s -g <IP_ADDRESS> <IP_ADDRESS> -r 1
[12:00] <sloth_> 10 targets, 1 alice, 9 unreachable
[12:00] <spc_in_plc> yes
[12:00] <Ampelbein> lonejack: the problem is that the new unity notification area only allows some few applications to access it without porting. you can use the command 'gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist "['all']" to allow all applications back in, that should help you for now.
[12:00] <sloth_> still no machine names, etc
[12:01] <lonejack> Ampelbein, I read this http://ubuntuguide.net/cryptkeeper-system-tray-applet-to-manage-encrypted-folders-in-ubuntu
[12:01] <lonejack> Amaranth, I did
[12:01] <idrinkkkkkbeer> say i have an ubuntu live CD, how do i use dd to delete exactly one sector of the HDD, in my case sector 62 which is 512 bytes long
[12:01] <idrinkkkkkbeer> i want it totally obliterated
[12:02] <spc_in_plc> sloth_, do you want to browse the network in GUI or terminal?
[12:02] <Ampelbein> lonejack: and did you logout and login back again?
[12:02] <lonejack> Amaranth, no. I do now and thank you
[12:02] <Uhriventis> Yeha
[12:02] <Uhriventis> I have a weird problem
[12:03] <Abhijit> Uhriventis, ask
[12:03] <sloth_> spc_in_plc, the terminal
[12:03] <Uhriventis> I have Java under firefox but it's been giving me a lot of trouble. I.e hangs, blacks out etc.
[12:03] <NielsMkn> hey guys
[12:03] <Uhriventis> Now I have Chromium browser
[12:03] <NielsMkn> how do I fix broken packages
[12:03] <Uhriventis> I was just wondering is it more stable to switch
[12:03] <sloth_> spc_in_plc, i'm trying to find my brothers computer. its on and connected
[12:03] <Uhriventis> Or is my packets incomplete
[12:04] <chrisdank> whats an ftp program i cna download for ubuntu?
[12:04] <spc_in_plc> sloth_, do you have your brothers IP address?
[12:04] <Uhriventis> Now,  also I'm on a netbook with lower stats
[12:04] <jrib> chrisdank: the default file browser, nautilus, can do ftp.  There's also (see ubottu)
[12:04] <Uhriventis> But enough to run what I want
[12:04] <jrib> !ftp | chrisdank
[12:04] <sloth_> no, thats what im looking to find
[12:05] <spc_in_plc> sloth_, then expand the search to accomodate a larger range
[12:05] <Uhriventis> Is their even a external java program I could use? rather than the Browser?
[12:05] <spc_in_plc> sloth_, how many computers do you have connected in your house?
[12:06] <sloth_> 3
[12:06] <spc_in_plc> for example: fping -s -g <IP_ADDRESS> <IP_ADDRESS> -r 1
[12:06] <Uhriventis> Usually I'm able to fix these problems on my own. But I'm stumped.
[12:06] <tobago> hab 'ne machine mit ubuntu 8.04 aufgesetzt. leider finde ich die gruppe www-data nicht. ist das normal?
[12:06] <sloth_> ahh
[12:07] <sloth_> 254 targets, 2 alive
[12:07] <chrisdank> what do i need to do to have multiple domains point to seperate folders on my server?
[12:07] <tobago> sorry. i installed ubuntu 8.04 on a machine. unfortunately i can't find the group www-data. is that usual?
[12:08] <Sidewinder1> !eol > toba
[12:08] <Sidewinder1> !eol tobago
[12:08] <buff27> chrisdank, that's kind of a broad question, but if your are using apache look into virtualnames
[12:09] <chrisdank> i am and thanks
[12:09] <Sidewinder1> !eol | tobago
[12:09] <Sidewinder1> Sorry, it's early...
[12:09] <spc_in_plc> sloth_, so jump on your brothers computer and check what his IP address is.
[12:10] <sloth_> hmm ok, but shouldnt i be able to recognize that from here?
[12:10] <tobago> Sidewinder1: ubuntu 8.04 is LTS til 2013?
[12:10] <Sidewinder1> tobago, Why noy install the current LTS version, 10.04 Lucid Lynx?
[12:10] <Abhijit> !8.04
[12:10] <Sidewinder1> tobago, That's Server, only.
[12:11] <tobago> Sidewinder1: coz the graphic card of the machine is not fully supported in 10.04.
[12:12] <spc_in_plc> sloth_, nslookup <ipaddress>
[12:12] <joru> Hi, having some gui probs. both in inify and gnome3 the vertical/horisontal scrollerbar is so narrow/thin i am unable to pick it with the pointer and scroll it. where can i configure this? (11.04)
[12:13] <tobago> Sidewinder1: do you know if the group www-data has to be created by myself?
[12:13] <Israfel_> I've tried everything the google search has told me to disable automounting. Anyone know how to stop automounting?
[12:13] <spc_in_plc> sloth_, or use host <ip address>
[12:13] <Sidewinder1> tobago, Did you, in 10.04, try enabling "restriced extras" in the repos to get the proprietary drivers?
[12:13] <jrib> Israfel_: why do you want to?
[12:14] <Israfel_> jrib, I don't want it automounting.
[12:14] <jrib> Israfel_: everything?
[12:14] <bjoern_> Hello! I have a problem. Somebody involved in the ccsm ?
[12:14] <Israfel_> jrib, Everything.
[12:14] <Sidewinder1> tobago, Din't know anything about www-data, sorry. :-(
[12:14] <jrib> bjoern_: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line)
[12:14] <jrib> Israfel_: what ubuntu version
[12:14] <Israfel_> jrib, 11.04
[12:14] <Sidewinder1> Don't, even.
[12:14] <bjoern_> I have got Ubuntu 11.04 Unity.
[12:15] <Israfel_> jrib, I already did the gconf-editor nautilus pref. (I reverted to gnome)
[12:15] <root__> yes
[12:15] <root__>  je suis hatem
[12:15] <sloth_> spc_in_plc, says not found on both of them :\
[12:16] <root__> yes
[12:16] <bjoern_> nobody wants to help me :(
[12:16] <jrib> Israfel_: are you certain you don't have some non-default program handling the mounting?
[12:17] <Israfel_> jrib, Never installed anything else to handle the mounting. I even did a reboot to see if that fixed it.
[12:17] <jrib> Israfel_: what gconf keys did you set?
[12:17] <bjoern_> if i maxzimizes window
[12:18] <bjoern_> it maximizes on another desktop
[12:18] <jrib> bjoern_: please don't press enter to break up your thoughts
[12:18] <Israfel_> jrib, media_automount is 0 and media_automount_open is 0
[12:18] <oCean> bjoern_: we have been over this already, right?
[12:18] <bjoern_> no we dont heave
[12:19] <bjoern_> your tips do not work
[12:19] <oCean> bjoern_: what tips?
[12:19] <bjoern_> from coz
[12:19] <tboxmy> hi all!
[12:19] <bjoern_> it dont work, instead of this, my pc get broken and i had to reinstall
[12:19] <oCean> bjoern_: no, about describing your issue in one single line. Detailing everything you have tried
[12:19] <bjoern_> ah okay
[12:20] <spankbot> May Audio goes bad after streaming music for a few hours.. I still have sound but it's all crumbly and crackly.   You wrote down coz_ tips to you
[12:20] <bjoern_> Well if i move a window to the edge, and then maximize it on the bar per double click, it moves to another virtual desktop
[12:20] <bjoern_> ocean: i tried them
[12:20] <tboxmy> need advice what is recommended remote monitoring and remote desktop for helpdesk
[12:20] <jrib> Israfel_: pastebin « ps -ef » and I'll compare with mine ;)
[12:20] <oCean> bjoern_: so, in describing your issue, you should let the other know what you have already tried. Then ask the question every 15 minutes or so. Repeating more often is useless
[12:21] <bjoern_> okay well
[12:21] <bjoern_> i think it must be a setting in ccsm
[12:21] <Sidewinder1> bjoern_, I don't use Unity, but perhaps your answer might be found here: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/things-to-tweak-fix-after-installing.html
[12:22] <bjoern_> no
[12:22] <NielsMkn> guys I get these errors when I try to run update via terminal http://pastebin.com/p2CTaZG7
[12:22] <ibrahim> I'm having difficulties installing wine in natty
[12:22] <NielsMkn> Please help me out
[12:22] <Sidewinder1> bjoern_, Sorry, just a suggestion. :D
[12:23] <Israfel_> jrib, http://pastebin.com/Hr0BCXyb
[12:23] <bjoern_> okay
[12:23] <bjoern_> well everbody who has got unity can try it
[12:23] <bjoern_> move the window at the edge, then maximize it
[12:23] <phonex01> Im using facebook chat using Pidgin XMPP and everything is ok BUT how can i join group chat ??
[12:24] <ibrahim> I'm having difficulties installing wine in natty
[12:24] <phonex01> what kind if difficulties Ibrahim ??
[12:25] <ibrahim> yes
[12:25] <Sidewinder1> bjoern_, It does sound a little like what happens in gnome/compiz on my 10.04 system; if i move a window so more than half of it goes off the screen, it's automatically moved to the adjacent desktop. I think this is done on purpose, at least on my system.
[12:25] <ibrahim>  why
[12:25] <jrib> Israfel_: we should look into what gvfs-afc-volume-monitor and gvfs-gdu-volume-monitor are and how to configure them
[12:25] <ibrahim> and french as well
[12:26] <ibrahim> Ok I want to install OFFICE 2010  through wine but it won't work
[12:26] <bibliotheque> hi there
[12:26] <bibliotheque> is there anyone here by chance having installed succesfully xbmc on kubuntu?
[12:26] <BlouBlou> ibrahim: Use libreoffice then
[12:26] <phonex01> ابراهيم office 2010  صعب ينزل على Wine انت بحاجة انك تنزل مكتبات بشكل يدوي قبل ما تنزله
[12:27] <jrib> Israfel_: and udisk
[12:27] <pksadiq> ibrahim: Why not libreoffice?
[12:27] <oCean> phonex01: english only
[12:28] <bibliotheque> i tried the many different ways (adding ppa) but it didn t work. xbmc is not in tree
[12:28] <Israfel_> jrib, What are those?
[12:28] <oCean> ibrahim: application support for wine is in #winehq
[12:28] <bibliotheque> i don t get why
[12:28] <jrib> Israfel_: we are going to find out...
[12:28] <ibrahim> Libre office doesn't screen clipping at least not that I know off
[12:28] <sloth_> spc_in_plc, yeah, i can scan my brothers ip with nmap and it comes up with his OS, uptime etc
[12:29] <Sidewinder1> ibrahim, Office is not even listed (unless I missed it) on the wine web-site; you may wish to have a look here: http://appdb.winehq.org/
[12:29] <ibrahim> Phonex1 What should I do if is not easy to install on wine
[12:30] <dr_willis> use a virtual machine perhaps
[12:30] <Sidewinder1> dr_willis, That's a great idea; went right by me...
[12:31] <dr_willis> !vbox
[12:31] <Sidewinder1> dr_willis, I tend to forget about VM as I have an old, old "achine", with only a gig of ram.
[12:32] <Israfel_> jrib, checking to see if it's also on my netbook
[12:32] <ChaosSaber> dr_willis hi
[12:32]  * dr_willis missed the actual core queztion..
[12:32] <dr_willis> Moo to you ChaosSaber !~
[12:32] <Sidewinder1> dr_willis, And, god forbid, only a single processor.
[12:33] <dr_willis> My Cellphone only has a Single Processor.. :)
[12:33] <ChaosSaber> mine also
[12:33] <dr_willis> proberly has more ram. :)
[12:33] <elky> Is there a way to configure unity to have the sidebar/icons smaller?
[12:33] <ibrahim> Desktop recoder sound is not working
[12:33] <Israfel_> jrib, Same happens on my netbook. Whatever it is, it's a default install.
[12:33] <random00> hello, I need a client of vpn with this function http://bit.ly/kRkBZb, could anybody help me??? please
[12:34] <ibrahim> is there any one knows hot to
[12:34] <pRoV7x>  now i used Gparted for shrink th Win7 partition, how can i add the uncollected size to Ubuntu partition?
[12:34] <dr_willis> elky,  the ccsm tool  ---> unity plugin   can set it smaller
[12:34] <dr_willis> !ccsm
[12:34] <jrib> Israfel_: yes, this is true.  I'm just suggesting that researching the three programs I mentioned above will likely lead to a solution for you
[12:35] <Israfel_> jrib, I can't be the first person in the world to attempt this, but there's nothing on the internet about it yet.
[12:35] <elky> dr_willis, what's the difference between the two?
[12:35] <dr_willis> elky,  what two?
[12:35] <jrib> Israfel_: we're just not in the right corner of the internet :D
[12:35] <elky> dr_willis, read the factoid you triggered
[12:35] <Israfel_> jrib, I'll try 4chan. lol
[12:35] <dr_willis> one is simple.. like its name....
[12:35] <jrib> Israfel_: there's certainly info about the programs mentioned above
[12:36] <pRoV7x>  gry: now i used Gparted for shrink th Win7 partition, how can i add the uncollected size to Ubuntu partition?
[12:36] <elky> dr_willis, yeah, that doesn't really answer :P
[12:36] <dr_willis> pRoV7x,  if its nexct tot he ubuntu partition. enlarge the ubuntu partition.
[12:36] <dr_willis> pRoV7x,  You may need to use a live cd.
[12:37] <pRoV7x>  hmm
[12:37] <pRoV7x>  < dr_willis > isn't there away without using the CD
[12:37] <ibrahim> Desktop recoder sound is not working any help?
[12:38] <dr_willis> pRoV7x,  you dont resize partitons that are mounted.. and if you are resizeing your installed system.. well that makes it impopssible without some other method.
[12:38] <Sidewinder1> pRoV7x, No, you can not enlarge a mounted partition.
[12:38] <Sidewinder1> Beat me :-(
[12:39] <pRoV7x>  i see would that work if i use the CD then
[12:39] <anujwalia> um a newbie in IRC
