[00:00] <ActionParsnip> tigrang: does the system have a make and model?
[00:00] <sovereign> I have a .tar.gz file that doesn't open as a setup file but rather as a text file what could be the cause
[00:00] <tigrang> ActionParsnip: Samsung RV515
[00:00] <ActionParsnip> tigrang: why was that not in your initial question....
[00:00] <tigrang> sorry
[00:01] <ActionParsnip> sovereign: you can extract it with:   tar zxvf filename
[00:01] <ActionParsnip> sovereign: or you can use unp
[00:01] <Jordan_U> Gskellig: Keep in mind that most .dmg files are not intended to be burned to a disk. What are you actually trying to burn?
[00:01] <Gskellig> Jordan_U, extracting it would be fine too
[00:02] <sovereign> ActionParsnip, do you mean in a terminal?
[00:02] <Gskellig> dmg2img is also failing, ERROR: Inflation failed
[00:02] <ActionParsnip> sovereign: its one way
[00:03] <helo1> ActionParsnip: there are echos in the script
[00:03] <helo1> ActionParsnip: I don't see the output on my screen (do echos show in the ssh session when the script is initiated by cron??)
[00:04] <sovereign> ActionParsnip,  I just dont understand what you mean by zxvf filename
[00:05] <Jordan_U> Gskellig: Can you pastebin the output of "file /path/to/filename.dmg"?
[00:05] <ActionParsnip> sovereign: its the cli way to extract tar.gz file
[00:05] <pinkfloyd> nixi
[00:05] <Gskellig> xar archive - version 1
[00:06] <sovereign> Action thanks reading now\
[00:06] <ActionParsnip> sovereign: or use right click menu if you have a desktop gui
[00:06] <ActionParsnip> helo1: use notify-osd
[00:07] <helo1> ActionParsnip: what is that and how
[00:07] <ActionParsnip> helo1: its what makes the desktop notifications
[00:07] <helo1> this is a server installation so there is no gui
[00:07] <sovereign> ActionParsnip, nothingin the right click menu worked to open the file
[00:08] <helo1> And the machine has no monitor
[00:08] <helo1> ActionParsnip: I just ssh into it (the physical machine is 200 miles away)
[00:09] <ActionParsnip> helo1: I see, no point with notify osd then ;)
[00:09] <sovereign> tar -zxvf truecrypt.tar.gz resulted in an error
[00:10] <ActionParsnip> sovereign: if you run:  ls    which is a lower case LS, do you see the filename listed?
[00:10] <mattalexx> In Banshee, I have an album that contains multiple artists. I have edited the tracks' meta data and set the "Album Artist" field with a consistent value, but the browser interface still lists every artist individually. What can I do about this?
[00:11] <sovereign> ActionParsnip, the file is not listed
[00:11] <whoever> hi all is there a repo for quanta plus yet
[00:12] <rick__> hello all im looking for a ubuntu 11.10 software that is like windows device manager is thier somthing on my system already or in the software center
[00:12] <ActionParsnip> sovereign: then its in a different directory
[00:14] <rick__>  hello all im looking for a ubuntu 11.10 software that is like windows device manager is thier somthing on my system already or in the software center
[00:16] <zykotick9> !info gnome-device-manager
[00:16] <crc32> Where is the network manager? in Ubuntu.  There is not signal ICON or anyting on my panel. I can create connections but I can't enable them from network-connections. How do I enable a network connection such as an already configured VPN connection.
[00:16] <urlin2u> crc32, which desktop are you running?
[00:17] <crc32> gnome withut gdm.
[00:17] <rick__>  hello all im looking for a ubuntu 11.10 software that is like windows device manager is thier somthing on my system already or in the software center
[00:17] <whoever> rick__: look at settings, its on the menu bar
[00:17] <urlin2u> crc32, not sure I understand nor can I probably help either.
[00:18] <zykotick9> crc32: you can try running "nm-applet" (NOTE: if you want to connect to wireless you might NEED GDM)
[00:18] <crc32> I installed netork-manager-blah-gnome to get the vpn stuff but Once I configure a conection from network-connections I see no way enable the connection.
[00:18] <hernsb> so, ive got minecraft and i can play it without any issues -- but, i cant put it in the dock (or whatever this is called :\ )
[00:19] <crc32> nm-applet is already running in the background with no visible windows to configure anything. All the docs keep saying there's supposed to be on icon to click on
[00:19] <hernsb> the icon i mean
[00:19] <PaulEycks> What is the name of the GUI fax program in Ubuntu 10.11?
[00:19] <rick__> im not seeing it
[00:19] <urlin2u> rick__, so whats the end goal here?
[00:20] <crc32> I just want to turn on this Cisco VPN connection. All I can do is edit a connection there is not ENABLE CONNECTION button or anything
[00:20] <rick__> to shut off cooling fan if possible and monitor temp
[00:20] <Guest43715> say I have a process running (e.g. firefox) and it is PID 1501, how would I send that PID commands from the terminal?
[00:20] <rick__> wile i surf in steath mode lol
[00:20] <Guest43715> trying to manipulate firefox over ssh
[00:20] <hernsb> ... how do i add minecraft.jar to the launcher?
[00:20] <rick__> stealth mode
[00:21] <urlin2u> rick__, there would be a app for that, not sure what though.
[00:21] <ubuntu> siema
[00:21] <zykotick9> !info lm-sensors | rick__
[00:21] <h00k> rick__: it depends on what browser you're using, check for 'private browsing mode'
[00:22] <rick__> yes i got lm sensors alreary
[00:22] <dbugger> Hey guys. I just installed oneric, and it only detects one monitor. What is wrong??
[00:22] <crc32> Ok so whats the deal theres a process called "nm-connection-editor" that lets me add network connections but how do I turn off and on the connections onces theyr configured.
[00:22] <ubuntu> witam zwolenników ubuntu
[00:22] <rick__> how to shut off coolling fan????
[00:22] <pinkfloyd> htop is a great tool for manage pid's : )
[00:22] <kurtul> my microphone works when i try with audacity. but with google-talk plugin in browsser it doesn't. how can i fix it?
[00:23] <Oer> rick__, shutting off cooling fan will damage hardware.
[00:23] <rick__> i wiil monitor temps
[00:23] <crc32> OMG where is the network manager?
[00:23] <rick__> i just want to run for a while to prove point
[00:24] <zykotick9> rick__: REALLY not a good idea
[00:24] <r0z4> Hi everybody, somebody can tell me if is possible make a backup from user and groups and some link or a how to do???
[00:25] <crc32> There is a Last used colunm in the connection editor but no way to use the actual connection. Am I the only one seeing this?
[00:25] <rick__> please dont question my methods and just try to help anser question
[00:26] <joe_____> hey
[00:26] <joe_____> exit
[00:26] <urlin2u> rick__, please recognize that if you have customized your set up you may be out of the channels help model. :)
[00:26] <Oer> rick__, then pull out the powerline, i think ACPI won't let you do that, it will shutoff immediatly
[00:26] <crc32> hey I have a question how do I turn on a network connection in Gnome?
[00:26] <urlin2u> crc32, with the nrtwork manager
[00:27] <urlin2u> network*
[00:27] <Xyt> Ok i get a weird error when trying to install this raid controller. ../../../inc/linux/Makefile.def:85: *** Only kernel 2.4/2.6 is supported but you use 2.0.  Stop.
[00:27] <rick__> so noone knows if thier is system tool to shut fan off and turn on
[00:27] <_cb> if I press alt tab my desktop becomes unusable. Anyone heard of anything like that ?
[00:27] <Xyt> any ideas?
[00:27] <crc32> urlin2u: Where is the network manager? Its like a mystery on my machine. Where do I click to pull out this magical program?
[00:28] <ActionParsnip> _cb: tried a different app switcher plugin?
[00:28] <urlin2u> crc32, top panel on a desktop setup, you asked about gnome you also left out gnome 2 or gnome 3
[00:28] <zykotick9> rick__: why would there be a system tool to physically break hardware?
[00:28] <rick__> good question
[00:28] <sovereign> i tried to install a program in terminal that failed is there anyway to undo what was done
[00:29] <Xyt> but im using Ubuntu 11.10
[00:29] <_cb> ActionParsnip have not done anything to my desktop. A few days it started happening. Maybe after an update?
[00:29] <cfhowlett> rick__: http://trouble-maker.sourceforge.net/
[00:29] <rick__> its not going to break unless it reaches critical temp
[00:29] <kion> is there a way to pass commnands from a shell script to a telnet session? I am trying to write a script that will use a telnet connection.
[00:29] <rick__> fan is on pulse anyways
[00:29] <zykotick9> rick__: which will take, what, 10 seconds?
[00:29] <crc32> urlin2u: I'm on 10.04 with the default setup. I can't see any gnome version message at the time. So what is this gnome 1 2 3 How do I know?
[00:30] <rick__> maybee
[00:30] <rick__> im hopeing to get 2 minutes
[00:30] <urlin2u> crc32, take a screenshot of the desktop and imagebin it.
[00:30] <zykotick9> crc32: verify that you have gnome-indicator-applet in your toolbar
[00:30] <urlin2u> !imagebin > crc32
[00:30] <_cb> are there any desktop settings related to desktop switching I can look at in unity?
[00:30] <rick__> it should go into automatic shutdown anyway
[00:31] <Jordan_U> Gskellig: I'm not sure why it's failing to decompress. Have you checked the file's md5sum?
[00:31] <rick__> out like a lite
[00:32] <cfhowlett> rick__: http://www.havetheknowhow.com/Configure-the-server/Monitor-server-temperatures.html
[00:32] <Xyt> if i have Ubuntu 11.04 and upgraded to 11.10 would it carry over the drivers for the raid controller?
[00:32] <Jordan_U> Gskellig: Why do you need to open a dmg file in the first place?
[00:32] <urlin2u> Xyt, you don't have that installed right?
[00:33] <Xyt> i have 11.10 installed amt
[00:33] <Xyt> atm
[00:33] <Xyt> but the drivers dont like the new 3.0 kernal it looks like
[00:34] <karsten> Where can I find a specific current package in LTS (10.04)?  Specifically, offlineimap.
[00:34] <karsten> Also trying to sort a problem in 11.10, with, you guessed it, offlineimap.
[00:34] <Xyt> so would an upgrade by pass the install?
[00:35] <Xyt> ../../../inc/linux/Makefile.def:85: *** Only kernel 2.4/2.6 is supported but you use 2.0.  Stop. Is what i get when i run the Make command
[00:36] <urlin2u> karsten,  here is the man page.  http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/dapper/man1/offlineimap.1.html
[00:36] <karsten> urlin2u: LTS == dapper?
[00:36] <hernsb> how do you run programs that are only offered for mac or windows? (i.e. Evernote)
[00:36] <Nullifi3d> The man pages. For men.
[00:36] <iceroot> !wine | hernsb
[00:36] <karsten> hernsb: ...that's way old IIRC.
[00:36] <urlin2u> all releases mentioned you will have to look I suspect karsten look at the link not the url
[00:36] <karsten> hernsb: In a VM.
[00:37] <hernsb> virtual machine?
[00:37] <iceroot> hernsb: also there is "nevernote" native for ubuntu which is supporting evernote
[00:37] <cfhowlett> hernsb: virtualbox, vmware
[00:37] <urlin2u> karsten, http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/oneiric/man1/offlineimap.1.html  this make you feel beter. :)
[00:37] <hernsb> will look into these things now
[00:37] <mattalexx> hernsb, I usually check if an app has good Wine support first. If not, I run it using Virtualbox.
[00:38] <iceroot> hernsb: no need to look into vbox/vmware
[00:38] <iceroot> hernsb: its running with wine
[00:38] <hernsb> *ive been running ubuntu for like 6 hours -- thats all my experience with non-windows machines*
[00:38] <mattalexx> hernsb, Welcome!
[00:38] <hernsb> will look into wine
[00:38] <iceroot> !appdb | hernsb
[00:38] <hernsb> thanks for all the assistance
[00:38] <karsten> urlin2u: Apparently what I want is lucid.
[00:38] <hernsb> excellent
[00:39] <crc32> http://imagebin.org/198142  <-- Can't find a way to enable this link. It always says last used never.  I don't see any process called gnome-indicator-applet.
[00:39] <urlin2u> karsten, then click that link in the man I guess. Out of my pay area really, just giving you info to look at.
[00:39] <zykotick9> hernsb: finding native gnu/linux replacements for windows programs will serve you better in the long run.  I'd consider wine a crutch for those new to the system.
[00:39] <karsten> urlin2u: yeah, gotchya.
[00:39] <urlin2u> ;)
[00:40] <hernsb> understood
[00:40] <hernsb> so far Evernote is the only thing I dont want to give up/replace
[00:40] <hernsb> i can use the web app though
[00:40] <tigrang> When I put my Samsung RV515 laptop to standby and resume, all I get is a black screen, no backlight. My dmesg log says "hash matches /build/buildd/linux-3.0.0/drivers/base/power/main.c:587" but theres no hash device for me to go on. Is there anything else I can do to debug this?
[00:40] <hernsb> i just have too many notes to bother switching to a different program now
[00:40] <crc32> anyways. How do you enable a network connection.
[00:41] <zykotick9> crc32: do you have indicator-applet in your menu?  Use "Add to Menu" to verify.
[00:41] <zykotick9> s/menu/toolbar/
[00:42] <crc32> I'm on gnome desktop 2.30.2
[00:42] <crc32> If I right click something from the menu it gives the option to add to panel
[00:42] <zykotick9> crc32: add indicator-applet
[00:43] <crc32> bear with me I usually launch everything from the command line.
[00:43] <rick__> ok pal it tells me how to set shut down temp but still nothing about shutting off fan
[00:44] <urlin2u> !tab > rick__
[00:44] <crc32> zykotick9 it looks like a speaker with a red X appeared along with an ICON of email
[00:44] <urlin2u> rick__, please use nics if you can :)
[00:44] <Oer> rick__, you can't, fan 0 won't be accepted in acpi
[00:44] <zykotick9> crc32: try running nm-applet again
[00:44] <rick__> urlin2u: ok
[00:45] <urlin2u> rick__, cool. :)
[00:45] <karsten> crc32: ifup <interface> generally. Details may vary.
[00:45] <hernsb> what about Steam?
[00:45] <zykotick9> hernsb: i hear it works with wine, but check the appdb to verify
[00:45] <hernsb> ok
[00:45] <cfhowlett> hernsb: http://www.linoob.com/2010/04/steam-platform-for-ubuntu/
[00:45] <eeriks> Hi, i have two Os on my computer linux and windows xp. i can reash windows now for some reason. when i started linux it said something about /tmp  can i do something via linux ?
[00:46] <crc32> zykotick9: nm-applet warns that its already running and also warns it coulden't initialize the D-Bus manager.
[00:46] <eeriks> i understand if it is difficult to answer because it is abit foggy question
[00:46] <urlin2u> eeriks, can you clarify that ore specifically. :)
[00:46] <urlin2u> more*
[00:46] <zykotick9> crc32: try "killall nm-applet" then "nm-applet" from a terminal
[00:46] <crc32> ok so I just uploaded a picture does this image look out of the ordinary?
[00:47] <urlin2u> crc32, we need the url
[00:47] <crc32> http://imagebin.org/198142
[00:48] <eeriks> i just "built" this computer from this old computer and my old computer. everything is working but when i try to start windows the screen turns black and it does not boot.
[00:48] <eeriks> but i can log in to linux (im logged in via ubuntu now
[00:48] <eeriks> )
[00:48] <crc32> yea nm-applet does nothing. I can't even find a man page for it so I don't know what the "--sm-disable" flag  even does.
[00:48] <zykotick9> crc32: what's is the icon to the left of teh speaker?
[00:49] <crc32> the is the network connection editor. It launches the 2 windows you see in the picture. Like I said it lets me add and edit connections but I'm at a loss as to how to enable them.
[00:49] <mavrick95>  am having trouble on mounting my hdd via terminal
[00:49] <eeriks> i took parts from two not working computers and got one working one :P
[00:50] <urlin2u> zykotick9, its the network tweaking icon, not the regular network manager
[00:50] <cfhowlett> eeriks: how exactly did you install ubuntu
[00:50] <crc32> the docs online say click on them in the network manager. But I don't see a network manager, Just this connection editor. (Unless thats what the docs where reffering too).
[00:50] <eeriks> it was allready installed on the disc
[00:50] <zykotick9> crc32: no, you "should" have another icon
[00:50] <cfhowlett> eeriks: I thnk we might see the issue...
[00:50] <eeriks> i did install it via windows i think
[00:51] <crc32> so its missing from the picture then.
[00:51] <zykotick9> crc32: yup
[00:52] <cfhowlett> eeriks: you can boot windows, yes?
[00:52] <zykotick9> crc32: do you have network-manager-gnome installed?  verify with "apt-cache policy network-manager-gnome" in a terminal
[00:52] <eeriks> one of the old computer was ready to be crashed or recycled, also i am not that good with computers. i think it is great that it actually worked ^
[00:52] <eeriks> no, i cant boot windown
[00:52] <eeriks> windows*
[00:52] <cfhowlett> eeriks: so no windows no ubuntu, right?
[00:52] <crc32> yes  I do I installed these
[00:52] <crc32> sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome network-manager-openvpn-gnome network-manager-openconnect-gnome network-manager-pptp-gnome network-manager-vpnc-gnome
[00:53] <eeriks> i have windows and ubuntu on the disc
[00:53] <zykotick9> crc32: well, I'm out of ideas, good luck.
[00:53] <cfhowlett> eeriks: can you boot anything at all?
[00:53] <crc32> After installing those the new VPN modules appear in the network connection editor but again no way to activate them.
[00:53] <crc32>  gdm
[00:54] <crc32> So I'm not crazy this is brain damage right?
[00:54] <eeriks> when i log in on the computer i can log in to linux or windows
[00:54] <zenon> what?
[00:54] <eeriks> my english is bad
[00:54] <eeriks> wait
[00:55] <zenon> brain damage!
[00:55] <zenon> what was I saying again?
[00:56] <crc32> so is there no way to start the network manager form  the command line?
[00:56] <zenon> error your brain is damaged.
[00:56] <zykotick9> crc32: nm-applet (i think we went over this?)
[00:56] <eeriks> at boot so I can choose if I want to log on linux or windows.
[00:57] <crc32> zykotick9: Nothing you've gone over was ever conclusive.
[00:57] <eeriks> windows doesnt work for some reason
[00:57] <zykotick9> crc32: right well good luck.
[00:57] <cfhowlett> eeriks: does ubuntu work?
[00:58] <eeriks> i am logged in on the computer i am talking about now, but on linux
[00:58] <eeriks> yes, i am logged in there now
[00:58] <mattswe> heyo, I'm working on log forwarding using rsyslogd. is there any way to have rsyslog deal with an intermittent internet connection, when sending logs to a remote server?
[00:58] <zenon> can anyone help me with soundcard?
[00:58] <cfhowlett> eeriks: what's your first language?

[01:09] <erik32533> is there a way to get firefox 8 or 9
[01:10] <chid> how do I disable windows from one workspace flowing into the next?
[01:10] <vacho_> I am running ubuntu 11.04 and I want to update my apache to latest version, what is the best approach??
[01:10] <chid> erik32533: download it from the website
[01:10] <crc32> whoever: I don't think bind likes those funky unicoded open and close quotes. Use plain old ascii code 34
[01:10] <chid> vacho_: how latest? svn latest?
[01:10] <erik32533> it redirects me to version 10
[01:10] <chid> oh
[01:10] <chid> you go to the ftp website
[01:10] <chid> and it'll have old one
[01:10] <vacho_> chid: upgrading to 2.2.22
[01:11] <vacho_> currently have 2.2.17
[01:11] <whoever> crc32: i made the change with IN ad got the same error http://pastebin.com/MEU65y4y
[01:11] <chid> http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/ for erik32533
[01:12] <chid> 2.2.20 is in repo
[01:12] <vacho_> chid: does that mean I can use apt?
[01:12] <erik32533> is that for windows
[01:13] <mavrick95> i am trying to mount my hdd while booting fron liveUSB. i already got the address with command "fdisk -l", but when i type: "sudo mount /dev/sda" it says that it was not found on /etc/fstab or mtab. Can someone please help me?
[01:13] <crc32> yea don't use that funky open and close quote use "  instead
[01:13] <zacarias> can't read commercial cd's. They are mounted and I have a notification asking if I want to open with Bnashee. But nothing happens. It doesn't play any wav file. I tried with other players: the same
[01:14] <chid> vacho_: yes
[01:14] <whoever> crc32: the quote also resemble the quotes in your file so don't know what you mean
[01:14] <chid> apt-get update, apt-get install apache2+tab
[01:15] <erik32533> that firefox is for windows
[01:15] <crc32> your quote is unicode character u'\u201c'
[01:15] <vacho_> chid: so using apt will not give me latest version of 2.2.22 :( how do I upgrade to latest?
[01:16] <erik32533> chid there is nothing to download foir linux on the link u gave me
[01:16] <holstein> erik32533: you can add the stable PPA... from https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-stable ... sudo apt-add-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable
[01:16] <holstein> erik32533: then you can just sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade and you should have the latest stable version
[01:17] <vacho_> chid: btw, thanks for taking time and helping me :) I appreciate it.
[01:17] <whoever> crc32: are you saying to chang to u'u201"
[01:17] <whoever> crc32: or to use u/22 which is double quote
[01:17] <erik32533> look i dont want 10
[01:17] <holstein> erik32533: look?
[01:18] <erik32533> 10 crashes
[01:18] <holstein> you can choose in synaptic what version you want
[01:18] <erik32533> on me
[01:18] <crc32> forget it just replace your qquotes with single ticks '
[01:18] <crc32> that will make it easier
[01:18] <holstein> erik32533: or you can troubleshoot the crashing in 10... if you havent tried *that* pacakged 10, you might want to try it
[01:18] <vacho_> how do I check what version of php is in the repo?
[01:19] <Oer> !info php
[01:19] <vacho_> im on 11.04
[01:19] <holstein> vacho_: i would just fire up synaptic or whatever package manager and search and look :)
[01:19] <Oer> !info php5
[01:19] <erik32533> there is no version 9 in syaptec package manager
[01:19] <holstein> erik32533: did you add that PPA ?

[01:20] <erik32533> ok now how do i add it
[01:21] <holstein> erik32533: otherwise, i wouldnt have suggested it.. OR, you could use the link chid gave you and build your own

[01:24] <holstein> zingaro: see that you see windows in the output
[01:24] <dies_irae> what kind of pulse sorcery is this??
[01:25] <holstein> zingaro: then reboot and you'll see it in GRUB... assuming you didnt install over top of it
[01:25] <whoever> crc32: now it starts thx for help , now only hope that it does what i extpect
[01:27] <zingaro> @holstein i tryed that and all it did was not boot ubuntu
[01:27] <zingaro> thus making it unusable and then i had to reinstall ubuntu
[01:28] <holstein> zingaro: well, you chose to do that.. there are other ways to repair... not sure whats going on .. what does grub show you at boot?... do you see and/or can you mount the windows partition?

[01:31] <Masterman467> i dont speek spanish

[01:34] <zacarias> How can I listen to commercial cd's? When I insert one I have it mounted and with the list of wav files, but no player plays them, even Banshee, the suggested one

[01:37] <rick__>  ok now when i try to open a image file in the my paint program it opens ubuntu 11.10 directories but none of my images are thier i know they are acsessable from browser download tab so why cant i find them from the directorys that pop up when i click file then open in the my paint program
[01:37] <holstein> zacarias: you likely need codec support.. http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/products/download.html?product=firefox-9.0&os=linux&lang=en-US
[01:37] <erik32533> i download
[01:37] <erik32533> from firefox
[01:38] <erik32533> tar.bz2 file
[01:38] <holstein> erik32533: correct.. you can literally right-click on that and extract it
[01:40] <erik32533> there is no readme file in the one i download
[01:40] <holstein> rick__: seems like its just a navigation issue.. if these are things you downloaded, they should be in ~/Downloads
[01:40] <zingaro> @holstein can i edit the grub files? in ubuntu????
[01:40] <zingaro> to load windows auto?
[01:41] <holstein> erik32533: OK.. whats there?.. why do you want to upgrade? is it features or security?.. the packaged one is going to recieve security updates automatically
[01:41] <urlin2u> zingaro, have you run sudo update-grub
[01:41] <erik32533> ok
[01:41] <zingaro> i already did
[01:41] <lastch> is there some way to boost the audio -- sort of the way VLC player lets you go to 200 % -- but just on everything?
[01:41] <erik32533> will the one on lauchpad
[01:42] <holstein> zingaro: sure... but when i have seen that issue, i have ran sudo update-grub as urlin2u suggests, and that i mentioned earlier, and it just picks up windows... which is why i asked if you could see/mount the windows partition.. and i didnt hear back from you on that
[01:42] <erik32533> im running version 7
[01:42] <zingaro> @holstein i can see the windows file yes :D
[01:42] <erik32533> i did all the updates
[01:43] <erik32533> i goto play yahoo spades
[01:43] <erik32533> firefox crashes
[01:43] <zingaro> @holstein and i ran that termianl command and it updated so i shutdown and turned it on again and nothing happend
[01:43] <holstein> erik32533: right, so unless you are missing a feature from FF9, just relaxy
[01:43] <holstein> relax*
[01:43] <urlin2u> zingaro, canyou post the output ion a pastebin of sudo fdisk -lu
[01:43] <holstein> erik32533: that is likey a flash issue.. i suggest you try that game in chrome and see if it crashes
[01:43] <urlin2u> !pastebin > zingaro
[01:44] <erik32533> ok
[01:44] <erik32533> ill be turning off updates
[01:44] <holstein> erik32533: yeah?... thats not what i implied
[01:44] <erik32533> it working now
[01:44] <erik32533> so ill not let a update
[01:45] <holstein> turn off updates if you are aware of the consequenses, and are comfortable with that
[01:45] <erik32533> break the system
[01:45] <holstein> erik32533: well.. it broke that games functionality.. not the system
[01:45] <erik32533> ok
[01:45] <holstein> and it was likely a flash issue that you will see again... but enjoy :)
[01:45] <_cb> how does one set the Ubuntu DNS servers?
[01:45] <zingaro> did it work?
[01:46] <DLabz> hey, guys. Having a problem with MBR
[01:46] <erik32533> ill ignore flash  an firefox updates
[01:46] <zingaro> !pastebin http://pastebin.com/d21ze0sf
[01:46] <karsten> _cb: /etc/resolv.conf
[01:46] <erik32533> maybe the other issuses be fixed in next release of ubunru
[01:46] <DLabz> What I did: used dd to create an image of my /dev/sda
[01:47] <karsten> _cb: they're also usually set via dhcp configs unless you override them.
[01:47] <holstein> erik32533: its not an ubuntu issue, so likely not.. we are not able to maintain flash, nor do we do anything with that game online
[01:47] <lastch> anyone know how to boost the audio on this machine?
[01:47] <_cb> karsten how do I override them?
[01:47] <DLabz> than, on a second macine, used dd to copy that image on the hdd
[01:47] <holstein> lastch: i would look in the terminal in alsamixer
[01:47] <DLabz> all worked, exept no MBR
[01:47] <lastch> will look, thanks
[01:47] <DLabz> tried boot-repar, no luck
[01:47] <zingaro> !holstein http://pastebin.com/d21ze0sf
[01:48] <_cb> karsten I have static ip on the server, cleare the nameservers from resolv.conf but it is still resolving names
[01:48] <DLabz> what now?
[01:48] <urlin2u> zingaro, cool that does show windows being there run this script and pastebin the results.txt  http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/
[01:48] <karsten> _cb: /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf or /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf
[01:48] <holstein> zingaro: yeah.. assuming those are windows partitions, is should just work.. will you run sudo update-grub in the terminal and post that output to pastebin?
[01:49] <urlin2u> DLabz, run this script and pastebin the results text you may already have a copy. http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/
[01:49] <karsten> _cb: also check to see if they're specified in /etc/network/interfaces.
[01:49] <holstein> zingaro: acutally, go with urlin2u .. i didnt realize we had both been pinged.. though i can understand this can be frustrating
[01:49] <zingaro> @holstein what do you mean?
[01:50] <karsten> _cb: Though AFAIK they're not set from there.
[01:50] <urlin2u> holstein, just wanted to see if the windows boot files were there with the bootscript
[01:50] <holstein> zingaro: 20:48 < urlin2u> zingaro, cool that does show windows being there run this script and pastebin the results.txt   http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/
[01:50] <urlin2u> ;)
[01:50] <holstein> ^^ do that.. then if you want, you can run sudo update-grub and post that output
[01:50] <DLabz> urlin2u: http://paste.ubuntu.com/836006/
[01:50] <DLabz> from he last boot-repair
[01:50] <Ben64> !info linux-image-server
[01:50] <dies_irae> how to restart alsa?
[01:52] <holstein> does sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart still do it dies_irae ?
[01:52] <lion42> dies_irae: sudo alsa force-reload
[01:52] <lion42> (I think. But I'm typically wrong.)
[01:52] <holstein> yeah, thats the better one ^^
[01:53] <urlin2u> DLabz, what exactly is the ubuntu on and how was it installed the script is missing some key stuff.
[01:53] <zingaro> http://pastebin.com/RumZCUfJ
[01:54] <DLabz> ubuntu is on the zotac zbox
[01:54] <zingaro> @holstein http://pastebin.com/RumZCUfJ
[01:54] <DLabz> runing from usb live version
[01:54] <DLabz> 10.04
[01:54] <DLabz> urlin2u: ^^
[01:54] <holstein> zingaro: looks good.. i would run sudo update-grub .. you can run that and paste the output here if you'd like
[01:56] <urlin2u> DLabz, So you can't repair this with a bootrepair it is a ISO with a persistent file I assume, Did it just stop booting all of sudden?
[01:57] <urlin2u> zingaro, Did you resize windows before the install or as part of it with ubuntu?
[01:57] <DLabz> no, I'm trying to clone the OS
[01:57] <_cb> /etc/network/interfaces only has the static ip, netmask and gateway but the server is still resolving names. how?
[01:57] <zingaro> ive always had windows so i didnt mess with it
[01:57] <zingaro> http://pastebin.com/0QBXMmPi
[01:57] <DLabz> urlin2u: Specs are same, exept that the hdd is a bit bigger on this one
[01:57] <zingaro> thats the grub update
[01:57] <urlin2u> DLabz, beyond my pat rate sorry.
[01:57] <urlin2u> pay

[02:01] <urlin2u> sansnumbers, right click the swap partition and the resize.

[02:01] <holstein> !grub2 | zingaro
[02:02] <holstein> you can refernce that as to what should be there, or paste it to a pastebin
[02:02] <zingaro> @holstein how to i see what is in gksudo gedit /ect/default/grub?
[02:02] <sansnumbers> urlin2: there's some unallocated space between two partitions preventing me from making it as small as possible
[02:03] <sansnumbers> how do i move it?

[02:03] <its_me> Hi, is it true that Ubuntu 12.04 LTS will allow users to choose Unity or GNOME 3.x?
[02:03] <holstein> zingaro: you can open a terminal, and run the command: gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub
[02:03] <urlin2u> sansnumbers, we talked about this yesterday right? imagebin a screenshot of gparted.
[02:04] <sansnumbers> urlin2: i wasn't in here yesterday but okay

[02:04] <_Tristan> Hi. I just got a new laptop and installed ubuntu alongside windows 7, but when I boot I just go straight to windows 7. What do?
[02:05] <rick_> when i open downloads it opens then the window turns light orange and i dont see any downloads thier
[02:05] <urlin2u> _Tristan, you boot the ubuntu cd or thumb, identify which please.
[02:05] <its_me> _Tristan : which did you install first?
[02:05] <holstein> zingaro: i would change that from "#GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0" to "GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=8" ... removing the "#" and changing 0 to 8 or so
[02:05] <its_me> _Tristan : First Windows 7 and then Ubuntu I guess?
[02:05] <sansnumbers> urlin2u: http://imagebin.org/198151
[02:06] <holstein> zingaro: then, you *must* run sudo update-grub again
[02:06] <zingaro> why 8?
[02:06] <zingaro> and ok
[02:06] <_Tristan> it was fresh out of the box when I installed ubuntu, but windows as already on the drive
[02:06] <_Tristan> I just hadn't gone through the install process
[02:06] <_Tristan> I used a usb drive
[02:06] <webirc1419> hi im trying to adjust brightness of my laptop screen i tried the system settings  power settings there is no display brightness option there
[02:06] <holstein> rick_: you dont see any downloads that that particular application can see/use.. sometimes at the bottom you can change it to search "all files and folders"
[02:07] <rick_> holstein: ok
[02:07] <holstein> zingaro: 8 seconds.. again, you can refernce that wiki
[02:07] <its_me> _Tristan: I dont understand. Did you install Ubuntu or are you saying that the LiveCD is not booting and you are being taken straight to Windows 7/
[02:07] <its_me> ?
[02:07] <zingaro> @holstein what line is that on?
[02:07] <holstein> i just know the options i mess with regularly zingaro
[02:07] <_Tristan> its_me: I installed ubuntu, but now when I boot to the hard drive it doesn't show grub, just windowws
[02:07] <urlin2u> sansnumbers, right click the sda4 not in the top window but in the lines identifying the partitions then resize.
[02:08] <holstein> zingaro: #GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 to GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=8
[02:08] <its_me> _Tristan: oh, weird.
[02:08] <rick_> holstein: that doesent help
[02:08] <holstein> zingaro: and i would read the that wiki.. make sure you are "unhiding" grub
[02:08] <zingaro> wait i think i know how to fic
[02:08] <holstein> you might want to change GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
[02:09] <urlin2u> sansnumbers, the sda4 is the container of sda5 it is on the edge of sda5 easier to just use the lines naming the partitikons.
[02:09] <its_me> _Tristan: Looks like you need to run boot repair. Follow this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[02:09] <holstein> rick_: OK.. then ~/Downloads is empty or you are in the wrong place or there is an error, or a bug... try opening from the terminal... application /path/to/fil
[02:11] <its_me> _Tristan: And before you do what I just said, install Ubuntu startupmanager ($ sudo apt-get install startupmanager / or / via Ubuntu software center) and see if you can solve it from there.
[02:12] <_Tristan> "The boot of your PC is in EFI mode, but no EFI partition was detected. 	You may want to retry after creating a EFI partition (FAT32, >200Mo, start of the disk, EFI flag). 	Do you want to continue?" < WAT
[02:13] <urlin2u> its_me, startup manager will not change boot stanzs with kernel ujpdates as of about maverick.
[02:14] <egarega> Does anybody know how I can tweak my unity side bar behavior? I'm trying to disable mouse calls
[02:14] <its_me> _Tristan: hmm, no idea. Like I said, do this first as it's safer: install Ubuntu startupmanager ($ sudo apt-get install startupmanager / or / via Ubuntu software center) and see if you can solve it from there.
[02:14] <urlin2u> _Tristan, what Ubuntu release did you install?
[02:14] <synapse> egarega: right click -> preferences -> disable
[02:14] <_Tristan> urlin2u: latest
[02:15] <rick_> holstein: got it thanks i just went in threw main folder and right clicked it and used open with but then i had to rename it with .png on the end
[02:15] <urlin2u> its_me, if this is a oneriric or natty or maverick install a kernel upgrade will leave then unbootable.
[02:15] <urlin2u> _Tristan, don't install the starup manger.

[02:16] <doug_> hello all
[02:17] <doug_> I need some help with an 11.10 partition that refuses to boot
[02:17] <egarega> What's the problem you're having/
[02:17] <urlin2u> _Tristan, even better since you getting a uefi response this is not a noob area go to the ubuntu forums and start a thread.
[02:18] <doug_> I've had 11.10 on sda3 for a couple of months, and over time, the OS began to run slower and slower, to the point it will not boot...
[02:18] <doug_> I've run a SMART check, and all is ok
[02:18] <urlin2u> doug_, can you be more descriptive like if you have other OS's and what led to this.
[02:18] <doug_> I'm using my mythbuntu partition right now, which has no problems
[02:18] <urlin2u> doug_, is it ubuntu or mythbuntu?
[02:18] <holstein> doug_: i would fsck it from a live CD
[02:19] <_Tristan> ubuntu just needs this ext4 partition and linux swap, right? If I delete everything else and resize it to fit, then install grub, this will work right?
[02:19] <_Tristan> (I don't need windows)
[02:19] <doug_> I did that, and when I fsck the partition, it locks up with no results
[02:19] <Ben64> _Tristan: depends how you install grub
[02:19] <holstein> doug_: i would troubleshoot that then...
[02:20] <_Tristan> Ben64: so how do I install grub
[02:20] <Ben64> !grub
[02:20] <its_me> _Tristan: If you don't need Windows, you can re-install Ubuntu again on the whole hard disk, removing Windows entirely
[02:20] <urlin2u> _Tristan, the UEFI is aproblem that can be removed I believe
[02:20] <Ben64> _Tristan: or what its_me said
[02:20] <doug_> I've had this problem in the past... Would it matter if im running the HD on a GUID setup?
[02:20] <urlin2u> If you want windows gone _Tristan
[02:21] <devsys> Hey guys, quick question I am running ubuntu 11.10 server and want to make sure I have my web root secured. When I do a ps -aux | grep apache, I see that apache2 is running as user www-data. The confusing thing is if I do a ls -lah on /var/www, www-data is not listed as a user or group -- root is listed as the group. I checked /etc/groups and it isnt a member of the root group. The webserver works and serves files, just a little confused
[02:22] <devsys> It's prettu much a outof the box install
[02:22] <doug_> if fsck is not working, how would I troubleshoot that?
[02:22] <Ben64> devsys: www-data doesn't need to own files to read them
[02:22] <Ben64> doug_: what is the error
[02:23] <holstein> doug_: if fsck half-way worked, and stopped, or i thought it stopped, and i stopped it, i would expect some problems
[02:23] <tigrang> When I put my Samsung RV515 laptop to standby and resume, all I get is a black screen, no backlight. My dmesg log says "hash matches /build/buildd/linux-3.0.0/drivers/base/power/main.c:587" but theres no hash device for me to go on. Is there anything else I can do to debug this?
[02:24] <flowerpot> does ubuntu cache dns results locally by default in 11.10?
[02:24] <egarega> tigrang: what version are you using?
[02:24] <holstein> tigrang: i would try a different kernel.. you can usually test that from live CD's too
[02:24] <tigrang> egarega: 11.10
[02:24] <tigrang> current kernel is 3.0.0-15-generic
[02:24] <doug_> Ben64_: when I try to boot the partition, I get nothing, just a blinking cursor. When I run fsck, the test locks up and I have to hard restart
[02:24] <egarega> Did you get this with earlier kernels?
[02:25] <Ben64> doug_: run fsck with -v
[02:25] <eguen> jo
[02:25] <tigrang> egarega: I had 3.0.0-12 before, didn't work. Havent tried any other
[02:25] <bagels_> Hi evrywun!
[02:26] <doug_> Ben64_:  Ill try that. Also, when I tried to do a rcovery, it came up with a kernel panic, a VFS error i believe
[02:26] <holstein> tigrang: i would want to try 10.04.. the last LTS (long term support)
[02:26] <bagels_> Does anyone know a way to burn an mp3 playlist into an mp3 data cd?  Looking on google doesn't give me much useful info.
[02:27] <holstein> bagels_: an mp3 data CD is just that.. just the data files.. if you have the mp3's, just drag them over on a data layout in the order of the playlist
[02:27] <tigrang> holstein: can I just use the kernel version 10.04 uses? And do you know which one that is?
[02:28] <bagels_> holstein the point would be I make a playlist, then burn it without having to recreate the playlist by hunting through different folders to find the ding dang songs manually
[02:28] <holstein> tigrang: i wouldnt even bother with that.. i would literally load up the live CD and check.. but i usually take the hard drive out of machines like that and test from CD so i can force powerdown or whatever
[02:29] <tigrang> holstein: try puting the computer to sleep from the live cd?
[02:29] <holstein> bagels_: right.. but the burner wont care about that playlist...
[02:29] <bagels_> holstein, you know how Brasero makes CD's from playlist?
[02:30] <holstein> tigrang: like i said, you can usually sleep from live CD's and test that just fine.. thats on my normal routine that i do with new machines
[02:30] <holstein> bagels_: sure.. but not data discs from audio playlists AFAIK..
[02:30] <tigrang> holstein: ok, ill try
[02:30] <bagels_> holstein I'm looking to burn 3 hours on one disc.  I know brasero doesn't, but it's you know, a pain to sift through all your music folders
[02:31] <bagels_> I mean if anyone's got a better idea
[02:31] <nelson_> where is panish ubuntu??
[02:31] <holstein> bagels_: if i did i would suggest it.. you can ask in #opensourcemusicians
[02:31] <urlin2u> !es
[02:31] <urlin2u> nelson_, ^^^
[02:32] <bagels_> holstein, there is no such channel, I just tried to /join #opensourcemusicians
[02:33] <holstein> bagels_: ill just paste it right from irssi 2:freenode/#opensourcemusicians
[02:34] <bagels_> 2:freenode/#opensourcemusicians
[02:34] <bagels_> all right now I'm confused.
[02:34] <telnetter> hi all. got a book from the library to learn from. it's a guide to ubuntu. but it's 8.04/8.10 version. Is this book too old, or will it still give me a good beginners guide to how this linux stuff works any how?
[02:34] <negative> bagels_:  type '/join #opensourcemusicians' in your status tab to join
[02:34] <Ben64> telnetter: its quite old
[02:35] <holstein> bagels_: i just copied it right from my irssi window so i was sure not to typo.. you can cut and paste too.. im not an op so i cant invite you :/
[02:35] <bagels_> negative I did type it and I got this: * opensourcemusicians :No such channel
[02:35] <telnetter> Ben64, is it not worth reading at all?
[02:36] <Ben64> telnetter: the linux stuff would still apply, but the ubuntu specific stuff won't be relevant most likely
[02:36] <negative> telnetter: you would probably benefit more from a newer guide
[02:36] <telnetter> any recommendations for a book? I am recently unemployed, so funds are tight. thanx
[02:37] <Ben64> telnetter: what are you trying to learn
[02:37] <negative> telnetter: what is your goal?
[02:37] <webirc1419> hi im trying to adjust brightness of my laptop screen i tried the system settings  power settings there is no display brightness option there. i've installed redshift for temporary relief
[02:37] <doug_> Ben64_: ok, fsck -v came back with "dev/sda3 contains a file system with errors. check forced." and then locked up.
[02:38] <telnetter> Ben64, I want to learn how linux works. I am new at this but hope to learn it well enough to do scripting, and perhaps system admin type stuff. maybe it will help me get a better job.
[02:38] <Ben64> doug_: you sure it locked up? it won't always say things all the time
[02:38] <doug_> yes, i'm sure. the mouse stopped working as well
[02:38] <holstein> bagels_: not sure what to tell you.. i pinged an op to have you invited.. i assure you im there..
[02:39] <negative> telnetter: does your library have a subscription to SafariBooksOnline?
[02:39] <holstein> bagels_: you need the #... /join #opensourcemusicians
[02:39] <Ben64> telnetter: google is a good place to find information, and pretty much any linux book would have good information
[02:39] <telnetter> negative, I can order books from the libary but it takes a week. If you guys can recommend a book, it may help better than just a google search.
[02:40] <webirc1419> is there a different ubuntu chan that might be able to help me?
[02:40] <Ben64> telnetter: order books? why not go to the library and grab some?
[02:41] <telnetter> Ben64, my library had the ubuntu 8.x book, thats it!
[02:41] <omit72> hey all. im building a server for my home network on an eeepc1005hab using ubuntu server. im going to be installing to a 4GB sdhc card to allow easier swapping of the internal hard drive.  what is the appropriate amount of swap space to use for this build?
[02:41] <doug_> Ben64_: It seems every time I try to mount that partition from my other linux partition, it locks up as well. any ideas?
[02:41] <Ben64> telnetter: it doesn't have to be ubuntu
[02:42] <negative> telnetter: Do you have any previous experience with programming? I'm looking at possible recommendations
[02:43] <telnetter> negative, I don't have any programming experience, no. I worked in tech support
[02:45] <itgeo> hi, i created a file custom.menu how can i get the menu structure into my kmenu

[02:46] <joosengee> anyone had the problem with ubuntu 11.10
[02:46] <joosengee> I can't delete or save files on the external harddisk

[02:46] <HeathHome> Hey, how do I change PHP's ./configure when I installed using apt-get?
[02:46] <subb1> 'Update Manager' shows nvidia driver updates which is not relevant for me. But every time manager is started, they come along in the list. How to remove such unwanted driver updates. (there is no nvidia ppa that i have added though)
[02:47] <negative> subb1: what's the name of the package?
[02:47] <joosengee> someone help me please?
[02:47] <itgeo> joosengee: did you deleted your in graphic mode or from the terminale
[02:47] <joosengee> as same about the terminate and graphic mode
[02:48] <joosengee> But if I used the ubuntu 12.04
[02:48] <subb1> negative, nvidia-173-modaliases, nvidia-93-modaliases, nvidia-current-modaliases.
[02:48] <joosengee> it can?
[02:48] <telnetter> negative, thanks.
[02:49] <joosengee> Someone help me?
[02:49] <subb1> negative, gimp also comes along everytime. don't want that also.
[02:49] <itgeo> joosengee:  try with sudo rm from the terminale
[02:49] <joosengee> someone have this problem.
[02:49] <joosengee> it 's also can delete.
[02:49] <joosengee> it shone read only.
[02:50] <negative> have you tried apt-get clean autoclean?
[02:50] <joosengee> But now ubuntu 12.04 has so many bugs.
[02:51] <joosengee> I can't use teamviewer run in that.
[02:51] <bazhang> joosengee, #ubuntu+1 for that, NOT here
[02:51] <joosengee> And can't install dropbox also.
[02:52] <negative> subb1: did you 'apt-get clean autoclean'?
[02:53] <subb1> negative, no. I'll try
[02:54] <subb1> negative, they still appear
[02:54] <aaron_> hi
[02:56] <negative> subb1: hm. what repository are they coming from?
[02:57] <subb1> negative, LP-PPA-ubuntu-x-swat-x-updates
[02:57] <subb1> negative, the nvidia comes from there
[03:00] <negative> subb1: is there a reason you subscribed to that ppa?
[03:01] <jed852> Hello.  Am looking for some assistance with unpacking and installing a tar.bz2 for my new wireless adapter
[03:01] <illidari> I recently installed ubuntu and trying to pair a wii controller to the bluetooth and having little success. I got it to randomly work in wmgui in unbuntu but cant get it to work outside of wmgui. I can connect it fine on my windows 7 os , anyone have any suggestions?
[03:02] <subb1> negative: I think i added it during my radeon driver installation. its mentioned here > http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Lucid_Installation_Guide#Ubuntu_X_Team.27s_PPA
[03:03] <jed852> To be more specific I am installing a Alfa AWUS036NH wireless adapter.  I have blacklisted my integrated drivers which has me to where I am no longer being able to connect wifi.  I have attempted to unpack 2 seperate tar.bz2 files and execute make.  But when I execute make I get an error =/
[03:03] <negative> jed852: what error
[03:03] <javierf_> Hi! I installed rhythmbox in ubuntu 11.10 but it comes with no plugins (a month ago, when I installed it, it had many of them, like showing cover art). What can be happening? Someone knows how to install them=
[03:04] <xangua> javierf_: F9 to show sidebar
[03:05] <negative> subb1: well the easy way would be to just remove the ppa and then 'apt-get update' but it's not ideal
[03:05] <javierf_> xangua, ops, but sidebar is there all the time. But no cover art. If I go to plugins/extensions, there is nothing there, and I remember there used to be many of them
[03:05] <jed852> With this tarball I get a Linux 1 error.  cp: cannot create regular file '/tftpboot' : Permission denied
[03:06] <subb1> negative, I assume there is no way to specifically remove a package provided by PPAs?
[03:06] <negative> jed852: are you sudo?
[03:06] <xangua> javierf_: then go to software center and install the plugins you want that are listed in rhythmbox
[03:06] <javierf_> xangua, I think something goes wrong in the instalation after I unistalled it once, because not I have no plugins, there is no indicator... I tried normal install and from repositories
[03:06] <jed852> ah I did not try sudo make
[03:07] <jed852> hrmm ok sudo make ran with no errors
[03:07] <xangua> !info rhythmbox-plugins | javierf_
[03:08] <jed852> lsmod not showing the module do i need to reboot?
[03:09] <negative> subb1: in the way that you want, not as far as I know. you could always install and then apt-get remove them, but that's a pain
[03:10] <javierf_> xangua, thanks, they were there :) One more question. I would like to install third-party plugin coverflow, which normally is installed in .gnome2 folder. But my rythmbox version is 2.95, which is GTK3. Is there a problem then?
[03:10] <xangua> javierf_: no idea about that plugin
[03:11] <xangua> gnome2 is dead... well at least no longer maintained
[03:11] <javierf_> xangua, ok. Just thought it might be for GTK2 not 3 if it's installed in .gnome2, but don't know if I'm wrong
[03:11] <lotrpy> what about python 2, is it dead too.
[03:16] <aaron_> hi
[03:16] <negative> hi aaron_
[03:17] <subb1> negative, okay. thanks for help :)
[03:18] <negative> subb1: no problem. good luck

[03:26] <siobhan> hi
[03:26] <skilz> Hey I have a question to ask, I installed 'tropic-gdm-theme' But the theme is still the same after rebooting?
[03:26] <skilz> its the default ubuntu background
[03:26] <cfhowlett> skilz: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAEm7AjkCFE
[03:27] <xangua> skilz: ubuntu oneiric no longer uses gdm, you'd have to install gdm i guess

[03:34] <amazingrando> is there a way to rsync or scp to multiple systems at once if they have the same user/login?
[03:35] <amazingrando> i want to send one new directory to several systems
[03:35] <negative> amazingrando: if you're using keys, you could throw a bash script together pretty easily
[03:36] <satyanash> amazingrando, you re probably not the only one wanting to do that, running one command on several servers at the same time.. try googling, I'm sure you'll find it..
[03:36] <amazingrando> i was looking for a shortcut so i wouldn't have to write a scripts, but i can do that
[03:36] <satyanash> hmm..
[03:37] <amazingrando> googling it has been a pain.  i always get answers for mulitple files, not multiple systems
[03:37] <Yabden> I recall that there is a specific way to do it, but I don't remember how
[03:37] <amazingrando> yabden - do you remember which tool it was.  i can look through documentation if you know which
[03:38] <Yabden> sorry, I don't remember
[03:38] <amazingrando> np, thx
[03:38] <negative> amazingrando: there might very well be, but the script could simply be scp -r $1 <server1>; scp -r $1 <server2>; etc.
[03:39] <negative> amazingrando: where $1 is the name of the folder you list as the first argument
[03:39] <amazingrando> thanks, i've been doing scp -r but I was hoping for something more elegant
[03:40] <negative> I've been called many things, but elegant was never one of them :(
[03:40] <amazingrando> me either
[03:40] <amazingrando> i'm doing it russian style - brute force

[03:41] <meoblast001> i'm using the gnome-classic session, and accidentally put a link in my top bar
[03:41] <meoblast001> the problem is, when i right click it, there's no remove option
[03:41] <xangua> meoblast001: alt+drag, or something like that
[03:42] <meoblast001> oh, alt+right click
[03:42] <meoblast001> xangua: thanks :)
[03:43] <xsinicklaptop> is that alt+right on the main menu

[03:43] <xsinicklaptop> ?
[03:43] <meoblast001> i just did that on the item i wanted to remove

[04:08] <urlin2u> holstein, yeah, when I hear fakebook I think of another actual compositions book.
[04:08] <linocisco> who has experience using ubuntu server on virutal box?
[04:08] <holstein> linocisco: i do..
[04:08] <urlin2u> ;)
[04:09] <linocisco> holstein, host is linux or windows?
[04:09] <holstein> linocisco: i have done both
[04:09] <holstein> i have not done the headless vbox yet though
[04:09] <linocisco> holstein,  I am going to install vbox on windows XP , will host ubuntu-server on it
[04:09] <holstein> urlin2u: ond of the kids came up with the name, and didnt know about the jazz fakebooks at all
[04:10] <holstein> linocisco: sure.. congratulations!
[04:10] <urlin2u> holstein, ;)
[04:10] <linocisco> holstein, i hope you could kindly guide me or suggest me in case i need help.
[04:11] <holstein> linocisco: sure.. theres not much to it... you just install Vbox, and its got a rather clear GUI... download the server iso and go for it.. you'll likely want to read about the netorking so the guest OS gets a normal IP from the router or gateway... thats bridged i believe
[04:12] <monstercookie> alias foobar='ls'; echo 'type foobar' > ~/__Z.sh; sh ~/__Z.sh <--produces an error, why?
[04:12] <verdav> I am such a new newbie that I've gotta to ask how in heck in Ubuntu 11.1 do I adjust the theme, color of my folers, headers, font size etc ?
[04:12] <linocisco> holstein, default is NAT. I thought.
[04:13] <holstein> linocisco: thats why i mentioned it.. that setting *wont* get you an IP from the gateway.. you wont be able to easily forward ports to the guest as if it were on the actually network
[04:14] <linocisco> holstein, that is why vboxonly host adapter
[04:14] <Katronix> Hi all, I'm looking for a version of NAnt that is for linux and is version .86 or higher. So far I have only found one that requires Windows or Mono, can someone suggest where I should look?
[04:15] <holstein> linocisco: its just a loose suggestion to review the documentation on netorking.. seems like you know what you are doing
[04:16] <linocisco> holstein, yes. as our office is only allowing windows machine, i m thinking to use/try/test ubuntu server on vbox
[04:16] <kindkid> Finally found a ridiculous solution to my problem. I was trying to find a way to boot any of the cloud images (http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/releases/11.10/release/) in VirtualBox. Kept getting errors related to ahci module. Solution: In addition to using the -floppy file as a CD iso, I also mounted the .vdi image (converted from .img using VBoxManage) on… the IDE controller instead of the SATA controller. I removed the SATA
[04:16] <trism> verdav: install gnome-tweak-tool, although it only has control for the themes and fonts, not colors like the old appearance settings
[04:17] <batbrat> Hi. I've run into some trouble using my external HDD with ubuntu. I was wondering if someone here could help me troubleshoot.
[04:19] <batbrat> Also, if this is the wrong thing to ask on this channel, please do let me know where I can get some help. I'll provide specifics as soon as I'm sure this isn't considered off topic on this channel.
[04:19] <negative> batbrat: what's the probalem
[04:19] <rf5> hi guys im trying to activate the http of my server but im in trouble. i already instaled the apache2 what else should i do
[04:19] <Katronix> anyone?
[04:19] <batbrat> My external HDD, Seagate, 500MB USB drive doesn't show up in Nautilus. The drive LED is blinking. lsusb shows the disk alright
[04:20] <batbrat> I tried sudo mount -l and that doesn't show it either
[04:20] <holstein> Katronix: you can look for PPA's
[04:20] <holstein> rf5: is this a desktop as well? can you navigate to localhost and see it? can you see it locally with the IP address?
[04:20] <negative> batbrat: when you plug in, does it show in your /media ?
[04:21] <batbrat> Ah! Didn't check. Give me a second to see if it is in /media
[04:21] <darksmurf> Any way to configure, via command line, wlan0 without iwconfig?
[04:21] <rf5> its a online server. im able to wget stuff tho, but i wanna use it to host some stuff
[04:21] <rf5> holstein: i just have ssh access to it
[04:21] <batbrat> The only thing on my /media is apt. On an aside, the drive LED is now glowing steady, like it usually does whuen it is working
[04:22] <holstein> rf5: see that apache is running... you'll need port 80 open... other than that, try #ubuntu-server
[04:23] <batbrat> negative: I'm sure my other drives will show up on /media once mounted.
[04:23] <batbrat> This one doesn't
[04:23] <batbrat> Definitely doesn't show up.
[04:23] <rf5> in the ps its showing apache
[04:24] <negative> batbrat: hm. and the drive definitely works on other systems?
[04:24]  * batbrat keeps his fingers crossed
[04:24] <wildbat> anyone know is there is way to set persistent cache for SSHFS say i preconfg the cache on disk 100M?
[04:24] <batbrat> Well, I just checked on another machine
[04:24] <batbrat> Doesn't work there
[04:24] <batbrat> I literally just tested it there. Ouch CRC failed
[04:25] <batbrat> negative: I don't know if this is a hardware issue or not, but I know that the CRC cheksum being wrong is bad
[04:26] <batbrat> negative: Also, that machine kept trying to get me to format it. Any ideas on how to work around this and recover my data? I suspect that the partition table may be dead. Windows box - says that hte file system is "RAW"
[04:26] <negative> batbrat: the fact that it's not working on the other system and the checksum is wrong seems to point to hardware
[04:26] <batbrat> negative: In that case, I had better recover my data. I have no idea how to go about that though. Any advise?
[04:27] <negative> what filesystem, btw?
[04:27] <batbrat> negative: I think it was NTFS originally.
[04:27] <rf5> hi guys im trying to activate the http of my server but im in trouble. i already instaled the apache2 what else should i do, im running it in a virtual server.
[04:28] <holstein> rf5: you'll need to check with you host about the port 80 access
[04:28] <rf5> how do i check in iptables if the port 80 is blocked?
[04:28] <negative> batbrat: since it's NTFS, do you have access to a windows machine?
[04:28] <holstein> rf5: if you know what firewall, you can add a rule.. sudo ufw allow 80 or whatever
[04:28] <batbrat> There is also the minute possibility that it was FAT32. That is rather unlikely though. It's been a while since I used this drive. But it has absolutely vital data. It's my backup drive. My original copy of the data is beyond recovery at the moment and through no fault of my own.
[04:29] <batbrat> Yes, I do have access to a windows machine.
[04:29] <skilz> How can I install old GDM?
[04:29] <skilz> The one that supports themes and ubuntu tweak?
[04:30] <holstein> skilz: maybe you want ubuntu 10.04
[04:30] <skilz> yeah
[04:30] <holstein> though, ive been told tweak can really break things
[04:31] <batbrat> holstein, skilz: Out of curiousity, what is tweak. I don't think I've used it before.
[04:31] <negative> batbrat:  data recovery in this context is not something I'm really comfortable with. My best advice is to try mounting it on a windows machine. sorry, wish I could be of more help
[04:31] <mavrick95> holstein: hi, i have checked and ther is no xorg.con file in /etc/X11
[04:31] <holstein> batbrat: think of it like a GUI for all kinds of tweaking... PPA's, package purges... things that can break other things for sure
[04:31] <mavrick95> holstein: hi, i have checked and there is no xorg.conf file in /etc/X11
[04:31] <batbrat> negative: Ah! I've tried that and run into a host of issues.
[04:31] <batbrat> holstein: Thanks
[04:32] <batbrat> negative: I mean I tried it now. I ran into issues mounting, then into issues running chkdsk
[04:32] <batbrat> negative: Thanks for the help anyway.
[04:32] <holstein> mavrick95: OK... so, you can put one there forcing the vesa driver... you can try the recovery console
[04:32] <mavrick95> holstein: i had already deleted it while booting from liveUSB
[04:33] <goddard> whats the best video converter and what is the smalest
[04:33] <skilz> Virtual packages like 'gdm3' can't be removed
[04:33] <skilz> ????
[04:33] <mavrick95> holstein: i can access  my hard drive via liveUSB, and then create an xorg.conf in the folder /etc/X11 , but i dont know what instructions to write in it so the standard drivers are loaded
[04:34] <holstein> mavrick95: i usually get a knoppix live CD, load that up, and copy the xorg.conf from it... editing as needed... but you should also be able to create one from the recovery console
[04:37] <mavrick95> holstein: i did not understand.  in the filesystem of the liveUSB (when i select to run the OS from the USB drive) there is no /etc/X11/Xorg.conf file, so I can not just copy from there to my hard drive
[04:37] <goddard> anyone home?
[04:38] <mavrick95> holstein: do you know any other way? i mean, can i download a "healthy" xorg.conf file and place it there?
[04:38] <holstein> mavrick95: correct.. thats why i say, you can use the recovery console to create one, or like i do, get a knoppix live CD and copy it from there
[04:38] <holstein> mavrick95: i have found them occasionally by google searching the card name
[04:38] <negative> goddard: what are you converting to and from?
[04:39] <zivester> whats the command to to show package versions... i know `sudo apt-cache search packagename` but how do i also display the version?
[04:44] <Pupuser> Hello, Linux noob here. Does anyone know if I can use wubi to install any other ubuntu distro or remix, like server, or one I configure myself?
[04:46] <negative> Pupuser: It's doable to use wubi with ubuntu server, but not recommended.
[04:47] <holstein> Pupuser: yeah, you'd be better off with virtualbox
[04:47] <holstein> assuming you have the resources... i should say
[04:47] <ubuntu-0854> keep the puppy!
[04:47] <Pupuser> lol
[04:48] <negative> you could also use VMware
[04:49] <Pupuser> ok, but I can use it for a customized remix that I create from my own install?
[04:50] <negative> Pupuser: I'm not sure what you mean by customized remix
[04:51] <EvilResistance> negative, i think he wants to have a customized version of the installer for wubi...
[04:52] <holstein> if you have the resources, you can virtualize whatever you like in Vbox or VMware
[04:52] <ubuntu-0854> Pupuser,  Just burn a customized iso and boot
[04:52] <Pupuser> So, if I install ubuntu, remove and add packages, change settings, etc., can I then save that to an ISO or live cd to use elsewhere?
[04:52] <negative> you can save it in your vmware virtualbox install
[04:53] <negative> *vmware OR vbox (two different things)
[04:53] <ubuntu-0854> Pupuser, ya but ya goota use software to get it all saved right
[04:53] <ubuntu-0854> Pupuser, If it where slackware like puppy you could just mod it up.  ubuntu works off dkpg
[04:54] <ubuntu-0854> custom hardware settings etc
[04:54] <negative> Pupuser: maybe I'm misunderstanding you. Are you using this on only one machine, or do you want to take it to others as well?
[04:55] <mpabst> i notice that when i go to sound settings (11.10), i can increase the main volume past 100%. is there a way i can permanently set "100%" to be higher?
[04:56] <Pupuser> I would like to make changes, then save them to a disk I can then use to boot up or install from, with everything the same, on different machines, or to give to other people.
[04:56] <ramsta> hi, what are some alternatives to skype?
[04:56] <holstein> Pupuser: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization
[04:56] <ubuntu-0854> pup you can used isomaster to add packages to the download file and run a quick script to dkpg
[04:57] <mavrick95> holstein: i followed the following commands while in root terminal during recovery mode: "X -configure" and "cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf". Rebooted, but the black screen continues...
[04:57] <negative> ramsta: you could try QuteCom http://trac.qutecom.org/
[04:58] <mavrick95> holstein: to have or not an xorg.conf file makes little difference, imho.
[04:58] <holstein> mavrick95: you can try forcing the vesa driver there though... in the driver section... change it to vesa
[04:58] <Pupuser> I'm completely new to Linux, don't know too much about scripting and stuff.
[04:59] <mavrick95> holstein: i am not an advanced user, i dont know where and how to do that
[04:59] <roasted> hello! Can someone explain to me what happens with Ubuntu populating host names of samba machines on the network? Reason I ask is my HTPC has a samba share. If I go on my mac immediately after booting up and do smb://htpc, it works fine. On my ubuntu laptop, nope. I HAVE to use IP address. Why is that?
[04:59] <linocisco> hi i want to install vbox on ubuntu without internet
[04:59] <mavrick95> holstein: that is why i need help from the ubuntu official channel
[04:59] <skilz> How can I remove gdm3?
[04:59] <linocisco> i have downloaded .deb file. but installation not ok
[04:59] <skilz> Virtual packages like 'gdm3' can't be removed
[04:59] <skilz> 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 7 not upgraded.
[05:00] <skilz> I done sudo apt-get remove gdm3
[05:00] <holstein> mavrick95: it'll be pretty obvious though... the driver section... just change it to vesa.. and this *is* the official channel
[05:00] <mister2> anybody know a utility to print a file tree to a text file?
[05:00] <urlin2u> linocisco, you can download the deb a virtualbox I believe
[05:00] <urlin2u> at
[05:00] <linocisco> urlin2u, i tried to install with that
[05:00] <Pupuser> I saw that Puppy has a way to save everything like that, but it's too limited. was wanting to do the same thing with ubuntu...
[05:00] <linocisco> urlin2u, not ok
[05:00] <urlin2u> linocisco, what happened?
[05:00] <flyback> 3 years+ and they still can't fix the volume profile for dell precision m90
[05:01] <flyback> at this rate I will get laid first and I am 38
[05:01] <linocisco> urlin2u,  i could not find in software center or apps. mine is 11.10
[05:01] <negative> Pupuser: have you taken a look at http://uck.sourceforge.net/?
[05:01] <negative> Pupuser: * http://uck.sourceforge.net/
[05:01] <bazhang> flyback, thats not appropriate for here
[05:01] <mavrick95> holstein: i can not get to the desktop, unless in text mode, and i am sincerely not understanding where i can find the drivers section
[05:01] <urlin2u> linocisco, install gdebi and uuse it to install with
[05:01] <mister2> hrm, internet issues or dead channel?
[05:01] <flyback> neither is bug fixing apprentely
[05:01] <bazhang> !bugs | flyback file one then
[05:02] <urlin2u> linocisco, you have no internet at all with the computer
[05:02] <linocisco> urlin2u, gdebi and install with it using internet?
[05:02] <flyback> it's been long files by many people
[05:02] <linocisco> urlin2u, right no internet with ubuntu computer
[05:02] <flyback> no one seems to care
[05:02] <urlin2u> linocisco, not sure then.
[05:02] <flyback> so I am just writing it off at this point
[05:02] <linocisco> urlin2u,  i m thinking to download complete installer from windows machine at work now i m using and take it home and install in on my ubuntu computer
[05:02] <holstein> mavrick95: in that xorg.conf file we were discussing.. you can open it ... gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf then look for the drivers section and change it to vesa
[05:03] <Pupuser> that UCK looks like it might do the trick. Thank you! :)
[05:03] <bazhang> flyback, thats your choice. this is not the complaints channel, but the troubleshooting channel
[05:03] <flyback> yeah doesn't really matter anymore
[05:03] <mavrick95> holstein: ok, i will try that now. i just hope that the xorg.conf file i created is not empty :/
[05:03] <flyback> adding this to the things in life I have given up on, including life itself
[05:04] <holstein> mavrick95: you can also grab them from the live CD's like knoppix or puppy.. i like that becuase i can see that it is working when i grab it
[05:06] <urlin2u> linocisco, I tried looking for a tar.gz that would make it straight forward, I don't see one but there may be one on the web if you look.
[05:06] <mavrick95> holstein: yeah, me too. i think it is kinda because i came from windowsXP OS, so i tend to trust more when i drag and drop.
[05:07] <linocisco> urlin2u, installing with tarball is offline. but I dont know where to extract
[05:07] <urlin2u> linocisco, it would just be a cd make install I assume
[05:08] <OLIVESrGOOD> hello?
[05:08] <Civil> Does anybody knows if ubuntu lucid's initrd can understand root on nested lvm?
[05:08] <linocisco> urlin2u, for exammple , if i got vbox.tgz., i put it on desktop generally, but when I run to extract, where should I put or extract to?
[05:08] <roasted> hello! Can someone explain to me what happens with Ubuntu populating host names of samba machines on the network? Reason I ask is my HTPC has a samba share. If I go on my mac immediately after booting up and do smb://htpc, it works fine. On my ubuntu laptop, nope. I HAVE to use IP address. Why is that?
[05:09] <urlin2u> linocisco, I just download the deb to downloads it is in Downloads and with a right click open with the ubuntu softwrae center it is there ready for reinstall I have it already.
[05:10] <urlin2u> linocisco, I think the deb will work to be honest with the softwrae center, not sure of the problems you had.

[05:10] <skilz> How can I remove gdm3?
[05:10] <skilz> How can I remove gdm3?
[05:10] <skilz> I done sudo apt-get remove gdm3
[05:10] <FloodBot1> skilz: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:11] <skilz> Virtual packages like 'gdm3' can't be removed
[05:12] <holstein> skilz: maybe try synaptic
[05:12] <negative> skilz: is it a .deb?
[05:13] <mavrick95> holstein: i opened it and there are two "section 'device'": in the firt one the driver is "fbdev" and the other is actually the "vesa" one, but i tried reboot and the black screen issue continues
[05:13] <negative> skilz: actually, disregard. have you tried 'dpkg -r gdm3' ?
[05:13] <Afdal> Hello, I'm trying to install Xubuntu and I'm having trouble getting GRUB Loader to install.
[05:14] <negative> Afdal: what's the problem?
[05:14] <holstein> mavrick95: not sure what to tell you.. if you specify the vesa driver properly it has to work
[05:14] <Afdal> I'm running on a hardware RAID0 partition
[05:14] <Afdal> and I keep running into this fatal error
[05:14] <Afdal> Executing 'grub-install /dev/sda' failed.
[05:14] <Afdal> Executing 'grub-install /dev/mapper/etcetc/' failed.
[05:15] <Afdal> /dev/sda isn't a real partition and I can choose other ones
[05:15] <Afdal> but it gives the same error
[05:16] <goddard> negative: im trying to convert some wmv and mov files
[05:16] <goddard> i found ffmegg
[05:17] <goddard> ffmepg
[05:17] <goddard> that seems to convert the suckers
[05:17] <goddard> but the quality it spits out is horrible
[05:17] <goddard> im trying to get the quality to stay about the same but smaller file size
[05:18] <negative> goddard: are you specifying a bitrate?
[05:18] <goddard> negative: im new to this whole thing so any advice is welcome
[05:19] <negative> when you call ffmpeg, you can use the '-b' switch to specify the bitrate
[05:19] <negative> higher bitrate -> higher quality
[05:20] <goddard> it says if i set a bit rate i have to specify buffer
[05:20] <goddard> how do i know what these should be?
[05:20] <Civil> goddard: try to read about x264 and it's parameters. In theory you can acheive high quality and small video size, but your enconding performance will be slow...
[05:20] <bazhang> skilz, are you trying to remove gnome3-session?
[05:20] <Bsims> any beefs with sandybridge on a current Natty?
[05:20] <urlin2u> linocisco, so I got virtualbox to reinstall from the downloaded deb in the software center.
[05:21] <negative> can you show us how you call ffmpeg?
[05:21] <bazhang> Bsims, check launchpad for bugs
[05:21] <goddard> negative: i was just reading the man page
[05:21] <Bsims> bazhang: did, all are from a year ago
[05:21] <goddard> negative: whats a good bit rate to try?
[05:21] <Afdal> Is there a channel for GRUB loader...
[05:22] <goddard> Civil: ok
[05:22] <skilz> bazhang, I want to remove the login manage so I can use the original gdm
[05:22] <negative> Afdal: have you checked out this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID ?
[05:22] <skilz> and set themes
[05:22] <urlin2u> linocisco, hars to say if there was a download at the same time I didn't look at the downloads in conky, but the deb installs with gdebi generally when  use it, I suspect you have dependencies missing.
[05:22] <Bsims> me is thinking a boring intel branded mb as its the vanilla option and one can assume drives will be there if anywhere
[05:22] <Bsims> er drivers
[05:22] <Afdal> No I haven't
[05:22] <bazhang> skilz, what version of ubuntu are you on
[05:23] <Afdal> My RAID0 is a hardware RAID
[05:23] <skilz> 11.10 I think
[05:23] <negative> Afdal: ah right, you said that. Sorry!
[05:24] <Afdal> :3
[05:24] <skilz> bazhang,

[05:25] <jamesmk2003> does anybody know how to shrink (make tinner) this funnny bar on a left? I want to shave it a bit look childish so big.
[05:26] <zgr> is it possible to find out what program created certain directory inside my ~/? Audiobooks for example
[05:27] <urlin2u> jamesmk2003, install the compiz cofig setttings manager if you mean in unity and use its plugin.
[05:27] <no1home> roasted: you could add the IP address to /etc/hosts on your laptop.
[05:27] <urlin2u> compizconfig*
[05:27] <mavrick95> holstein: i did. i am serious man, this ubuntu problem is draining my life force... really, i've been coming here for the past three days straight and i feel that every time i get close to solve, it doesn't... very frustrating.
[05:28] <silare> Is there a good Rational UML equivalent on Linux?
[05:28] <roasted> no1home: that's not the point. The point is mac can resolve hostnames, ubuntu can't. I want to figure out why.
[05:28] <Chat8859> Hello?
[05:28] <mavrick95> holstein: maybe it is time to blame something else for the black screen issue, maybe the amd64 alternate i downloaded right before the crash?
[05:29] <urlin2u> mavrick95, how long you been running ubuntu now?
[05:29] <no1home> roasted: ok understood, thought you were looking for a quick fix.
[05:29] <urlin2u> or any open source mavrick95
[05:30] <roasted> no1home: no, I can use the ip and get t to work, I just dont understand why its not.

[05:30] <mavrick95> urlin2u: when it crashed, i was running ubuntu with little issues for about 2 months (first time using linux on homePC)
[05:31] <goddard> Civil: hah i use it to convert a video and now it is super fast haha
[05:31] <Civil> goddard: if you need both quality and size you should play a lot with it's parameters
[05:32] <urlin2u> mavrick95, I would say that some things take a while and if it is just a matter of understanding rather tehn a software or hardware problem, you willl unlikely forget how to do it in the end.
[05:32] <Ineedhelpwiththi> 'E:type'ain is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/Ubuntu-wine-ppa-natty.list'
[05:32] <Civil> you can make good quality but very slow encoding (~0.1x real time or even slower, if you want)
[05:32] <urlin2u> mavrick95, I have been lucky all my computers run on drivers installed in the install.
[05:33] <bazhang> Ineedhelpwiththi, please pastebin that section of sources.list.d
[05:33] <negative> Ineedhelpwiththi: what's the first line in your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/Ubuntu-wine-ppa-natty.list say?
[05:33] <Ineedhelpwiththi> It says "ain"
[05:33] <Ineedhelpwiththi> It won't let me edit it out
[05:34] <bazhang> Ineedhelpwiththi, pastebin it please
[05:34] <Ineedhelpwiththi> What's that mean?
[05:34] <negative> to edit files in /etc you need sudo. can you stick it on pastebin so we can see the whole file?
[05:34] <urlin2u> mavrick95, not sure any of that helps, but it took me 6 months to understand what to not delete, I removed the whole home file at one point lol.
[05:34] <mavrick95> urlin2u: the thing is that i messed a little bit with synaptic, trying to get better drivers for my video card, and then "black screen"! it doesn't even tell me what is wrong.
[05:34] <negative> post it here http://pastebin.com/
[05:35] <Ineedhelpwiththi> Well, let me explain
[05:35] <urlin2u> mavrick95, were the stock drivers working or what you had?
[05:35] <Ineedhelpwiththi> My computer will not connect to the Internet, even with 5 bars wifi, using that error as an excuse
[05:35] <goddard> Civil: crazy stuff this encoding im gonna have to learn more about it
[05:36] <Ineedhelpwiththi> I'm using IrC on my phone
[05:36] <Civil> goddard: you can use some of x264 params from ffmpeg
[05:36] <jeeves_moss> how can I delete a secure parition on a 32Gb MicroSD card?  I keep getting this http://pastebin.com/L8RLjrCF and I can't delete or access it
[05:37] <Civil> it maybe a bit easier
[05:37] <negative> Ineedhelpwiththi: did you try commenting out the first line?
[05:37] <mavrick95> urlin2u: it was working ok, even with fglrx still in, it messed up bad, i GUESS, after i downloaded amd64 alternate
[05:37] <Ineedhelpwiththi> How do I do that negative?
[05:38] <mavrick95> i download a lot of things from synaptic, and one of them was that
[05:38] <negative> Ineedhelpwiththi: make the first character of the line a #
[05:39] <Ineedhelpwiththi> It won't let me type on it
[05:39] <mavrick95> can i copy the standard drivers to my hd from a liveUSB, or i have to use your knoppix?
[05:39] <urlin2u> mavrick95, so you have alive cd right, back it up what you need to save and reinstall it. Now that is what I do I have everything cloned so I weigh the reinstall time with fixing and go with the shortest time.
[05:39] <negative> you need to be sudo
[05:40] <Ineedhelpwiththi> How do I get to sudo
[05:40] <urlin2u> mavrick95, just a how I react, I'm not always interested in where I messed up but having a working OS, but thats me. I rarely mess up the OS now though.
[05:40] <mavrick95> urlin2u: i still feel that the damage is too little to reinstall the OS again...
[05:41] <rubst3r> hello all!
[05:41] <mavrick95> urlin2u: i still feel that i can "heal" it, i just dont know how! lol
[05:41] <bentkus> how do you mess up your OS?
[05:41] <urlin2u> mavrick95, cool that is your prerogative but the frustration is what I avoid your stronger then I would be.
[05:41] <Fudge> anyone know a mailing list or channel where i can discuss fglrx problems i am having?
[05:41] <mavrick95> bentkus: downloading proprietary drivers... :/
[05:41] <urlin2u> you're
[05:42] <Ineedhelpwiththi> Guys how do I get to sudo?
[05:42] <bentkus> why do you need them?
[05:42] <urlin2u> !sudo | Ineedhelpwiththi
[05:42] <negative> Ineedhelpwiththi: oh I thought you were in command line
[05:42] <mavrick95> bentkus: ati video cards run better with proprietary
[05:43] <bentkus> o ati
[05:43] <bentkus> xD
[05:43] <bentkus> poor guy
[05:43] <Ineedhelpwiththi> Command line is the same as terminal right?
[05:43] <skilz> yes
[05:43] <negative> Ineedhelpwiththi: yeah, are you in the terminal?
[05:43] <mavrick95> bentkus: hey, ati's are good gpus! lol
[05:43] <urlin2u> mavrick95, I will say in watching your situation you have had some of the best help on this channel.
[05:43] <Ineedhelpwiththi> Now I am
[05:43] <bentkus> with shitty linux support
[05:43] <bentkus> nvidia are no heroes, but ati sucks evenmore
[05:43] <jeeves_moss> how can I delete a secure parition on a 32Gb MicroSD card?  I keep getting this http://pastebin.com/L8RLjrCF and I can't delete or access it
[05:43] <negative> ok what text editor are you using?
[05:44] <Ineedhelpwiththi> What?
[05:44] <presonic>  tryin to get a screen shot of a teriminal window , 11.10
[05:44] <conductors> so, i just opened the terminal and typed 'wine'
[05:44] <skilz> jeeves_moss, gparted
[05:44] <conductors> and now im downloading and installing wine?
[05:44] <Ineedhelpwiththi> I went to applications>accessories>terminal
[05:44] <negative> Ineedhelpwiththi: actually, disregard. type 'sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/Ubuntu-wine-ppa-natty.list' that will open up an editor so you can edit the file
[05:45] <urlin2u> jeeves_moss, you have gparted installed do it with that.
[05:45] <jamesmk2003> I want to change icons to smaller in 11.10 i am in compizconf set manager nothing is changing
[05:45] <bentkus> presonic just make a screenshot of the entire window
[05:45] <jeeves_moss> skilz, doesn’t see it!!  hence why I'm here.  I can't see it in Windows or in Linux
[05:45] <presonic> bentkus: how?
[05:45] <presonic> screen print?
[05:45] <jeeves_moss> urlin2u, all I want is to delete or overwrite the parition, etc
[05:45] <urlin2u> jeeves_moss, not sure of your definition of a secure partition though.
[05:45] <bentkus> just google it
[05:45] <jamesmk2003> i am in unity plugin
[05:46] <mavrick95> urlin2u: aand i thank YOU very much, because much of that help came from you!
[05:46] <Ineedhelpwiththi> Now it's empty
[05:46] <jeeves_moss> urlin2u, the card was in a Windows Mobile 7 phone.  They use the "secure" feature on the SD card, and now I can't kill the partition on it
[05:46] <negative> wait what
[05:46] <mavrick95> and also ActionParsnip and Dr_willis helped me a lot
[05:47] <urlin2u> mavrick95, I would not consider the better helper in this channel though I'm just a poser really. :)
[05:47] <Ineedhelpwiththi> Now it's empty
[05:47] <urlin2u> myself*
[05:47] <negative> Was there only that one line in the file?
[05:47] <urlin2u> jeeves_moss, there a switch on the card?
[05:47] <Ineedhelpwiththi> Yes, but I don't see anything now
[05:47] <jeeves_moss> urlin2u, nope, it's a microSD
[05:48] <negative> are you sure you typed in the right filename?
[05:48] <conductors> is there a nice guide for getting familiar with the terminal?
[05:48] <urlin2u> jeeves_moss, hmm you might try the ##windows or ##linux channel or call MS .
[05:48] <conductors> (zero programming exp)
[05:49] <Ineedhelpwiththi> It says in the terminal that I failed
[05:49] <jeeves_moss> urlin2u, I'm tempted to take it back to the store and "claim" it's dead.  I can get out of Linux is from DMESG "[sdd] Attached SCSI removable disk"
[05:49] <negative> Ineedhelpwiththi:  what did it say?
[05:49] <mavrick95> t one noob questiobfor i leave for the day: do i have to format my whole hdd in order to install the ubuntu 11.10 OS again, or is it possible to overwrite the OS while leaving the personal files intact?
[05:50] <mavrick95> *just one noob question before i leave for the day: do i have to format my whole hdd in order to install the ubuntu 11.10 OS again, or is it possible to overwrite the OS while leaving the personal files intact?
[05:51] <urlin2u> jeeves_moss, have you tried a windows computer  http://www.ehow.com/how_7460866_partition-micro-sd.html
[05:51] <negative> Ineedhelpwiththi: If there was just that one line "ain" in there, you'd might as well just delete it "sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/Ubuntu-wine-ppa-natty.list"
[05:51] <Ineedhelpwiththi> 2 things ,(gedit:3869):Gtk-WARNING **: attempting to store changes into '/root/local/share/recently-used.xbel', but failed, no such directory
[05:52] <jeeves_moss> urlin2u, yep,  but shhhhhhh, don't tell anyone I work in a M$ shop.  I'll loose my Linux cred
[05:52] <negative> Ineedhelpwiththi: Did you try removing it yet?
[05:52] <urlin2u> jeeves_moss, lol. :)
[05:53] <Ineedhelpwiththi> I didn't let me
[05:53] <jeeves_moss> urlin2u, I'm one of the "elders"
[05:53] <Ineedhelpwiththi> It won't let me edit

[05:53] <jeeves_moss> urlin2u, <hangs head in shame>
[05:53] <Ineedhelpwiththi> One thing I can edit has nothing, and the other one with ain I can't edit
[05:53] <negative> Ineedhelpwiththi: Try just removing it: "sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/Ubuntu-wine-ppa-natty.list"
[05:53] <crizzy_> anyone remember what was the trick for restoring grub splash back to default? (gnome metapackages install debian grub splash)
[05:54] <urlin2u> jeeves_moss, most on here that have any skills know windows as well, they work in the industry or started on windows originaly I suspect, personally I started on open source then learned some windows.
[05:55] <jeeves_moss> urlin2u, I started with hardware hacking "degree in electronics", then Windows
[05:55] <Ineedhelpwiththi> Ok
[05:56] <negative> Ineedhelpwiththi: did you do it? Now run "sudo apt-get update"
[05:57] <Ineedhelpwiththi> I'll do the same for the other
[05:57] <negative> Ineedhelpwiththi: the same for the other what?
[05:57] <Ineedhelpwiththi> yay it worked!!!!
[05:57] <negative> ok good
[05:57] <negative> all set?
[05:58] <Ineedhelpwiththi> IT WORKED
[05:58] <bentkus> it always works
[05:59] <Ineedhelpwiththi> Ok. One last thing
[05:59] <mavrick95> i disconnectede, so i dont know if anyone responded:*just one noob question before i leave for the day: do i have to format my whole hdd in order to install the ubuntu 11.10 OS again, or is it possible to overwrite the OS while leaving the personal files intact?

[06:43] <das7> hi. I  am using ubuntu 10.10. Can I mount all the drives
[06:43] <das7> automatically on swithching on the pc ???
[06:43] <Civil> das7: man fstab
[06:44] <das7> Civil: I don't understand .
[06:44] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab   das7 this may help
[06:44] <c31r2g> Civil do u mean in terminal
[06:44] <das7> let me check
[06:45] <das7> thnx in advance guyz
[06:45] <Civil> das7: fstab is file that is parsed at startup. Linux reads it and mounts everything from it
[06:45] <das7> hmm. Now I get it Thnx
[06:46] <c31r2g> Civil did u mean fstab in terminal right
[06:46] <Civil> manual for fstab - (man fstab in console or link that bazhang provided) describes format of fstab
[06:47] <bazhang> c31r2g, to 'man' something is a suggestion to read the manual (via terminal, yes)
[06:47] <c31r2g> bazhang ok  :)
[06:48] <das7> fstab looks difficult. Any other ways ?
[06:49] <Civil> das7: it's easy
[06:49] <bazhang> das7, its not difficult at all
[06:50] <das7> I will try
[06:50] <Civil> das7: it's format is simple: what_to_mount where_mount fs_type options dump pass. dump specifies  how often fs check should run, and pass means in what order check should run
[06:51] <das7> I am trying

[07:18] <doug_> hello all
[07:18] <cfhowlett> doug_: greetings
[07:18] <doug_> I have a problem, I wanna see if you can help
[07:18] <cfhowlett> !ask|doug_
[07:18] <Guido1> I'm just a bit iritated. I have a moved the videocard from one computer with ubuntu 10.04 to a computer with ubuntu 11.10. With 10.04 it worked, but not with the other computer - i want to use the yellow conection
[07:18] <cfhowlett> Guido1: your card isn't necessarily instantly recognized and configured just because you plugged it in.  You're going to have to work a bit to get it set up.
[07:18] <Guido1> how do i do it?
[07:18] <cfhowlett> Guido1: identify your computer and your card...
[07:18] <cfhowlett> Guido1: http://www.ehow.com/how_6773077_install-new-video-card-ubuntu.html
[07:18] <doug__> Sorry, lockup... as I was saying, I'm having a problem with my 11.10 partition....
[07:18] <doug__> I installed 11.10 on my 3rd partition a couple months ago, and was working fine until about a moth ago, when the OS began to run slowly...
[07:19] <doug__> had no indication of cpu, memory or load issues, but ran slower and slower, until finally, the partition will not boot at all now.
[07:19] <doug__> when i ran fsck, it locks up the live CD session and I have to hard reboot. I've tried fsck from my mythbuntu partition as well, with same results.
[07:19] <linocisco> hi
[07:19] <llutz_> doug__: checked S.M.A.R.T status using smartmontools?
[07:19] <cfhowlett> linocisco: greetings
[07:20] <doug__> SMART is clean.
[07:20] <linocisco> i m using windows XP with internet. now i have installed vbox and I am gonna install ubuntu-server as guest.
[07:21] <Guido1> it's a comapq 7el700T and the possible cards are a ms-8826 ver:2.0 and a ms-8818 ver:10B
[07:21] <linocisco> i would like to know which networking adapter I should choose with vbox

[07:41] <MonkeyDust> alexmakoeyez  you mean your public ip address?
[07:41] <cfhowlett> !language|alexmakoeyez:
[07:41] <tajys> Wow, if you're going to be rude, I doubt anyone is going to be interested in helping you...
[07:41] <alexmakoeyez> for my network
[07:41] <alexmakoeyez> my pc cant connect..forsome reason
[07:41] <Evilnami1> We will catch the folks who did this, sotomise them, give em a guantanamo and make em watch episodes of glee
[07:41] <alexmakoeyez> only this umbuntu laptop
[07:42] <alexmakoeyez> i gottaq fay 'f' words just to be noticed
[07:42] <tajys> Are you using wireless?
[07:42] <alexmakoeyez> yes
[07:42] <MonkeyDust> alexmakoeyez  try ifconfig for the local address, curl ifconfig.me for the public ip address
[07:43] <Guido1> okee, 10.04 works with both videocards - just plugin, but both cards does not work with anothe computer wit ubunto 11.10. could it a computer specific problem or are some settings wrong?
[07:43] <cfhowlett> Guido1: if it works at all, it's probably a setting issue
[07:44] <alexmakoeyez> ipconfig?
[07:44] <tajys> Okay, I don't know a whole lot about networking, but if your router is set to "n", if you change it to "g", that might help... I had that problem with my ubuntu lappy, too
[07:44] <alexmakoeyez> the issue isnt my umbuntu but my windows xp pc
[07:44] <alexmakoeyez> which i use for gaming
[07:44] <cfhowlett> alexmakoeyez: ##windows for support
[07:44] <MonkeyDust> alexmakoeyez  no, ifconfig
[07:44] <alexmakoeyez> for some reason it wont connect to the preffered wireless connection automaticially yet this umbuntu laptop has no problem
[07:45] <bonch> ugh
[07:45] <Guido1> cfhowlett: the monitor conection works, but not the yellow AV conection
[07:45] <MonkeyDust> alexmakoeyez  we cannot give advice for win xp, better ask in ##windows
[07:45] <cfhowlett> Guido1: what's the card??
[07:45] <alexmakoeyez> #windows
[07:46] <fae> m
[07:46] <MonkeyDust> alexmakoeyez  type /join ##windows (double #)
[07:46] <kapz> Need help setting up a scanner
[07:46] <Guido1> cfhowlett: it's a comapq 7el700T computer and the possible cards are a ms-8826 ver:2.0 and a ms-8818 ver:10B
[07:47] <kapz> Scanner is canon LiDE 110 flatbed, simplescan detects the scanner but when scanned there is nothing but a white image
[07:47] <cfhowlett> Guido1: make/mode of graphics card??
[07:47] <cfhowlett> !xsane|kapz
[07:48] <Guido1> cfhowlett: nvidia
[07:48] <cfhowlett> Guido1: see, it's little bits of information like that...http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/nvidia
[07:50] <tajys> Also, I noticed you. I was trying to figure out why the heck I was kicked from this channel and joined to another one that said I needed to register, when I was already registered. Maybe you could try being a little more understanding that other people have things going on.
[07:50] <no1home> ifconfig or iwconfig should show your ip, if I understood what you're asking.

[08:15] <big-ol-D> anyone know how to make one of those damn ol perl scripts run?
[08:17] <nicofs_> Is there a tool to monitor which application is using how much of my internet/network traffic?
[08:18] <big-ol-D> does what you chmod it to matter .....like if i put it 777 will it still work
[08:19] <Tm_T> nicofs_: iftop does per connection
[08:20] <nicofs_> Tm_T, what exactly does "per connection" mean?
[08:20] <llutz_> nicofs_: look at ntop, it monitors protocols but i'm not sure if it counts per app
[08:21] <meow_> hello everyone, i just installed KDE4 on my xubuntu oniric, the anti-aliasing on the fonts has disappeared which has made the text almost unreadble :( i tried doing a sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, but that exited without doing anything :(
[08:21] <meow_> please help
[08:22] <big-ol-D> PUPPY LINUX RULES!!!!
[08:22] <Tm_T> big-ol-D: please stay on topic
[08:22] <meow_> anyone :(
[08:23] <big-ol-D> oh sorry I got ADHD
[08:23] <meow_> i dont want to reinstall the whole thing again
[08:23] <Tm_T> meow_: antialiasing on KDE or on XFCE?
[08:23] <meow_> KDE
[08:24] <nicofs_> llutz_, my problem is, that i use a very slow dial-up connection (not-quite-EDGE, so to say) and i can't afford to lose bandwidth on anything redundant... just recently i had only chromium running with one internet page (not even loading) but all my bandwidth was used - so i was wondering: what might be doing that?
[08:24] <meow_> tried setting it from the kde's settings manager, nothing happened
[08:24] <Tm_T> meow_: you can control its antialiasing settings on systemsettings -> application appearance -> fonts
[08:24] <Tm_T> hmm
[08:24] <meow_> the text looks pathetically ugly right now
[08:24] <meow_> Tm_T, i tried doing that
[08:25] <Tm_T> meow_: did you relogin after that?
[08:25] <meow_> yeah, i just rebooted
[08:25] <big-ol-D> did you install a driver for nvedia?
[08:25] <meow_> big-ol-D, i dont have a nvedia card, and no
[08:26] <meow_> :S
[08:26] <big-ol-D> I did that once and jacked my system all up on one distro
[08:26] <meow_> i think the terminal asked me something about using a default windows manager
[08:26] <meow_> i didnt pay much attention to the option i chose there
[08:26] <Tm_T> meow_: that doesn't matter
[08:26] <big-ol-D> I ENDED UP HAVING TO REINSTALL
[08:26] <Tm_T> big-ol-D: please...
[08:26] <meow_> Tm_T, oh
[08:27] <kapz> OS: ubuntu 11.10, Scanner is USB Canon LiDE 110 flatbed, simplescan/xscanimage detects the scanner but when a document is scanned there is nothing but a white image..help!
[08:27] <meow_> Tm_T, well, seems like i cant even do a sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg anymore
[08:27] <Tm_T> meow_: how you cannot do it?
[08:28] <meow_> Tm_T, i type in the command, and it exists without doing anything
[08:28] <Tm_T> meow_: ah, it does, silently (:
[08:28] <Tm_T> meow_: see your ~/.fonts.conf
[08:28] <meow_> oh

[09:13] <Myrtti> kode0: mind your language
[09:14] <Arney> theadmin: About to try that now... if it works, I'll disconnect.
[09:14] <theadmin> Arney: That needs sudo though
[09:16] <lordb> howto use Huawei E1550 on Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx
[09:16] <lordb> ??
[09:16] <theadmin> lordb: Is that the USB 3G modem thing?
[09:16] <theadmin> lordb: I think I had one of those
[09:18] <jatt> there is nothing to configure it should work out of the box
[09:19] <lordb> well its doesnt work out of the box
[09:19] <lordb> on 11.10, yes
[09:19] <jatt> yes it does
[09:20] <theadmin> lordb: You need to use usb_modeswitch
[09:20] <gabri88> i have a problem with evolution
[09:20] <T_H_X> ah, the freedom
[09:20] <jatt> !thunderbird
[09:21] <gabri88> but i use evolution and i not change
[09:21] <yeah> Help me please?
[09:21] <kalimojo> im on 11.10. how do i restart the networking service without a reboot
[09:21] <kode0> yeah: Please state the nature of the technical issue.
[09:21] <T_H_X> beep
[09:22] <Arney> theadmin: It killed my connection, but my wifi led is still on... and the battery stimate.
[09:22] <Arney> It lists as "soft block", any way to hard block?
[09:22] <Arney> or power down the pci card?
[09:22] <poolski> anyone use software RAID with mdadm here?
[09:23] <Arney> It used to work in linux 2.6
[09:23] <ikonia> poolski: yes
[09:23] <gabri88> when i read the mail the text overlap
[09:24] <lordb> when i plug in the gsm modem, it mounts it an cdrom
[09:24] <yas> i am using ubutu ultimate 2.8 in our system i have install oracle10g and mysql,netbeans this time my laptop giong heat how to solve it how to check exost fan is working or not?
[09:24] <yeah> kode0, http://pastebin.com/7Jpcc81G
[09:24] <theadmin> Arney: Ah... Hm I dunno. Try disabling it in the bios maybe, not sure you can really hardblock without the switch
[09:25] <theadmin> yas: We don't support Ultimate
[09:25] <jatt> !ontopic
[09:25] <theadmin> lordb: Yep, you need usb_modeswitch
[09:26] <Schrodinger`Cat> hey
[09:26] <poolski> ikonia, I have my /home mounted on a RAID1 I made with mdadm - if I reinstall Ubuntu, will the RAID be preserved?
[09:27] <yas> but it is also a ultimata.
[09:27] <poolski> I know it might be an obvious point, but I've not used it before
[09:27] <theadmin> poolski: Only the Alternate CD allows setting up raid during install so you want that probably.
[09:27] <jatt> what?
[09:27] <poolski> I'm installing ubuntu on a separate disk
[09:27] <poolski> only my /home is mounted on the RAID
[09:29] <ikonia> poolski: the raid data will be preserved (unless you tell it to blank the disks/partitions) however, you may have to manually re-assemble the array the first time you try to use it (and update the mdadm.conf file)
[09:30] <zietgeist> salve
[09:35] <kode0> I need to poop.
[09:38] <tanath> is it just me, or is freenode slow?
[09:38] <poolski> ikonia, so if I copied mdadm.conf to, say, a network share and re-instate it, that'll do the trick, presumably?
[09:38] <ikonia> poolski: it would be better to re-create it
[09:38] <poolski> fair enough
[09:38] <tanath> anyone else lagging or taking a while to connect to freenode?
[09:39] <Myrtti> tanath: freenode is having connection problems today due to a DOS attack.
[09:39] <Guest4086> hello
[09:39] <lordb> DOS attack?
[09:39] <tanath> Myrtti, ok, thanks
[09:40] <C4RL05> whata a dos attack?
[09:41] <tanath> denial of service
[09:41] <Grievre> I've been having this problem intermittently
[09:42] <Grievre> where my USB mouse will suddenly stop working. If I unplug it and move it to another USB port, it never lights up and the kernel never detects it
[09:42] <Grievre> I can still do everything just fine with the keyboard
[09:42] <Grievre> BUT if I try ctrl-alt-f1 to move to a console, it locks up hard
[09:42] <Grievre> and I have to reboot
[09:43] <Grievre> I've tried a different mouse, it's not the mouse
[09:43] <Grievre> does this issue sound familiar to anyone?
[09:43] <tanath> Grievre, does it do that when you do it before the mouse issues?
[09:43] <Grievre> no
[09:43] <Grievre> ctrl-alt-f1 works fine until the mouse freezes
[09:44] <Grievre> I'm not sure if the lockup affects all USB devices or just the mouse
[09:44] <Grievre> my keyboard is PS2
[09:45] <tanath> Grievre, sounds like the problem is affecting more than usb, or is more fundamental
[09:46] <tanath> Grievre, next time it happens, check logs for errors
[09:46] <tanath> Grievre, hell, check them now
[09:46] <zsolt_> hi there.i heard about ubuntu certified professional exam.if i pass this exam,where am i able to work with that?
[09:46] <tanath> Grievre, try gnome log viewer
[09:46] <llutz_> zsolt_: sure, you might decorate your walls with it
[09:47] <Grievre> tanath: Er... would that work? I'm using unity...
[09:47] <tanath> zsolt_, try http://www.indeed.com/jobs?q=ubuntu+certified
[09:47] <Grievre> tanath: Where is it anyhow
[09:47] <zsolt_> thank you
[09:47] <tanath> Grievre, sure it would. you can even use kde apps if you install dependencies for them, regardless of what desktop environment you're using
[09:48] <tanath> Grievre, erm, i use gnome-do to launch it... one sec
[09:48] <Grievre> ok... but why would there be entires in the gnome log viewer if gnome isn't running
[09:48] <Grievre> or am I parsing "gnome log viewer" wrong
[09:48] <tanath> Grievre, gnome-system-log
[09:49] <tanath> Grievre, it's a front-end/GUI for viewing your logs
[09:49] <Grievre> tanath: what does this tell me beyond dmesg or catting the various stuff in /var/log...?
[09:49] <tanath> Grievre, it doesn't need to be running at the time. the logs are made by the system, and it shows them in one place
[09:49] <Grievre> ok
[09:49] <Grievre> tanath: I have a feeling you just gave me a different way of looking at the logs I was already looking at
[09:49] <Grievre> I don't understand
[09:49] <tanath> Grievre, it's just easier/more convenient
[09:49] <Grievre> okay...
[09:49] <Grievre> so, I just opened it and it's empty
[09:50] <tanath> Grievre, list of different logs on the left?
[09:50] <Grievre> I see no list
