[16:51] <escott> mint, you'll need itunes
[16:51] <spot_> i want to format partition /dev/sda3
[16:52] <rallias> spot_ Right click /dev/sda3 and click format
[16:52] <rallias> make sure data is backed up, because it looks like you're running off of ext3
[16:52] <mint> escott , do you know any way to format it from terminal i dot care if it works again
[16:52] <spot_> i dont have that option
[16:52] <spot_> i have only format to
[16:52] <llutz> spot_: i'd delete it and create a new logical drive (sda6) then
[16:52] <escott> mint, its not a normal usb mass storage device. you must use itunes
[16:53] <urlin2u> spot_, what is your final goal here?
[16:54] <spot_> it doesent matter , i just want to format a partition
[16:54] <urlin2u> spot_, it does as this is ubuntu support you have no ubuntu at all.
[16:54] <mint> escott , i cant get banshee put all the staff needed to play if i just can format it
[16:54] <spot_> if i say what is my final goal here you will send me to #windows
[16:54] <spot_> i have ubuntu
[16:54] <llutz> spot_: quit gparted, "sudo umount /dev/sda3 && sudo mkfs.ext4 -m0 /dev/sda3"
[16:54] <spot_> installed and now i'm with livecd
[16:55] <escott> mint, please dont waste our time. you've been given the answer. if you dont like it complain to apple
[16:55] <urlin2u> spot_, not on that HD you have no ubuntu.
[16:55] <spot_> what??
[16:56] <iceroot> how to find the maintainer of a kernel-modul? (in this case rt2800pci)
[16:56] <mint> escott , sorry if i make u mad it is just i am so desperate
[16:56] <llutz> modinfo rt2800pci|grep author iceroot
[16:56] <urlin2u> spot_, the sda3 has not enough data on it, go to a appropriatte channel.
[16:56] <spot_> llutz umount: /dev/sda3: not mounted
[16:57] <spot_> what are you talking about?
[16:57] <spot_> i just installed ubuntu on it
[16:57] <urlin2u> spot_, is it a wubi?
[16:57] <spot_> nope
[16:57] <iceroot> llutz: great, thank you
[16:58] <mint> escott , at least tell me how i can mount it so as to save my file from my i pod
[16:58] <llutz> spot_:  "sudo mkfs.ext4 -m0 /dev/sda3"
[16:58] <escott> mint, if banshee doesnt work you will have to use itunes. it is not a usb mass storage device
[16:58] <urlin2u> spot_, than you have no ubuntu on that had the sda3 has to little data and the other 2 partitions are ntfs ubuntu wont instal in a ntfs unless it is a wubi.
[16:59] <urlin2u> hd*
[16:59] <mint> escott , tnx for your time
[16:59] <spot_> the ntfs partitions are from windows
[16:59] <spot_> i tried a dual boot
[16:59] <llutz> spot_: maybe just a wrong partition-id
[16:59] <ParadigmUltra> Is there a music player that supports sharing a library across multiple computers, so that the library info stays in snyc between all computers?
[16:59] <spot_> but grub doesent load any system
[17:00] <urlin2u> spot_, you want the windows boot back is tha the problem?
[17:00] <spot_> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mkfs.ext4 -m0 /dev/sda3 mke2fs 1.41.11 (14-Mar-2010) Filesystem label= OS type: Linux Block size=4096 (log=2) Fragment size=4096 (log=2) Stride=0 blocks, Stripe width=0 blocks 1201872 inodes, 4799418 blocks 0 blocks (0.00%) reserved for the super user First data block=0 Maximum filesystem blocks=0 147 block groups 32768 blocks per group, 32768 fragments per group 8176 inodes per group Superblock backups stored on
[17:00] <auronandace> spot_: do you understand what is meant when you say format? do you want to make it blank space or a different partition type (ext4, ntfs, fat32)
[17:00] <spot_> i want something to boot
[17:00] <escott> ParadigmUltra, its probably just easier to rsync the files. i dont know of any music player that has that as a built in feature
[17:00] <twitchnln> why do i get the feeling that noone else has played cepstral with natty successfully?
[17:00] <spot_> anything , but boooot
[17:00] <llutz> spot_: boot windows cd, restore MBR, fix your partition-layout
[17:01] <llutz> spot_: formatting sda3 won't help you in any way
[17:01] <urlin2u> spot_, do you know the out of the bios bot menu key prompt try booting the windows, when you power on hit f12, we can get you the boot back from a terminal on that disc
[17:01] <auronandace> spot_: then based on that screenshot you've likely formatted the ext4 partition, if you want to boot ubuntu, you'll need to install it there
[17:01] <spot_> llutz , i cant boot windows cd because i got black screen after the booting
[17:02] <escott> spot_, we understand your frustration, but your not expressing anything well. you complain that it gives you a warning about data existing and don't send a screenshot. you complain that it doesnt say format but dont give a screenshot. you say it doesnt boot but dont give the contents of any error messages, and you are unclear on your goal
[17:02] <spot_> i dont get any error , is just a black screen with a cursor
[17:02] <prueba_> hola
[17:02] <spot_> nothing happends after
[17:02] <spot_> what this command do ? dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1
[17:03] <prueba_> alguien que hable espa├▒ol
[17:03] <escott> spot_, it overwrites the mbr
[17:03] <escott> !es | prueba_
[17:03] <Phane> Bonsoir
[17:03] <llutz> spot_: it overwrites MBR + partition-table of your 1st HDD
[17:03] <spot_> llutz , can i use dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1 instead of windows cd? because the windows cd doesent boot write , it just stop at a moment
[17:04] <Spartakus> good evening everybody :D
[17:04] <llutz> spot_: it overwrites your partition-table, you shouldn't do it if you neeed any data from that drive
[17:04] <spot_> uff , then how can i do it?
[17:04] <llutz> spot_: fix your computer, its nothing OS-related
[17:04] <urlin2u> spot_, if you had a copy of what was there before you overwrote is you could, you can also just install lilo in the mbr from a ubuntu disc and boot windows.
[17:05] <urlin2u> spot_, can you bopt a ubuntu disc to a desktop?
[17:05] <urlin2u> boot*
[17:05] <spot_> what is lilo?
[17:05] <spot_> i can boot an ubuntu cd
[17:05] <auronandace> !info lilo | spot_
[17:05] <spot_> i am now on ubuntu try
[17:06] <llutz> spot_: download and start http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/, fix MBR
[17:06] <theMAVERICK> so...I was in the middle of recording some music tracks, and my whole /home switched to read-only, and I cannot switch it back
[17:06] <urlin2u> spot_, it is a bootloader that will boot windows just the same you will never see it, and windows will boot straight in.
[17:06] <theMAVERICK> has anyone heard of this problem?
[17:06] <spot_> why didn't you told me that from the start :)
[17:06] <escott> theMAVERICK, is /home on its own partition?
[17:07] <pleiotropy> hello. it seems I have a problem with pulseaudio on an asus N43SL. This seems in part due to the acpi (using experimental asus_nb_wmi now). On the sound settings no hardware is recognized. Audio is not working. Anyone willing to help? Thanks
[17:08] <theMAVERICK> escott: oh boy, my partition table just flipped over to GPT...again
[17:08] <twitchnln> theMAVERICK: sounds like system found error on /home partition and remounted read only, reboot from cd and fsck your drive
[17:08] <spot_> now , how can i install this lilo?
[17:08] <urlin2u> spot_, what is the release of the ubuntu cd you have?
[17:08] <theMAVERICK> twitchnln: crap, this is the second time this has happened after wiping the disks
[17:08] <iceroot> spot_: there is no need for lil
[17:08] <spot_> i've downloaded lilo-22.8.src.tar.gz
[17:08] <theMAVERICK> twitchnln: so, they are pretty much fried, huh?
[17:08] <theMAVERICK> greeeaaat
[17:08] <escott> theMAVERICK, you probably have a hybird partition table. use gdisk to fix it
[17:08] <iceroot> spot_: use grub instead
[17:09] <spot_> grub doesent work , i tried to fix it and doesent work
[17:09] <spot_> i want lilo instead
[17:09] <spot_> how can i install and use it?
[17:09] <greennumbers> what is the command to move/copy a directory with the contents intact?
[17:09] <theMAVERICK> escott: I did standard partitioning via install ext4 I believe, if I try to reboot, I will lose the entire shell and everything
[17:09] <urlin2u> iceroot, he has no linux none of the grub files in  ubuntu.
[17:09] <arkaniad_elsewhe> greennumbers: just mv them.
[17:09] <greennumbers> thanks
[17:09] <theMAVERICK> escott: is there a way to atleast save/export my current project before I mess with the hard drive partitions?
[17:09] <urlin2u> iceroot, a failed install with less the 500mb
[17:09] <escott> theMAVERICK, if you have a screwed up gpt/dos hybrid you need to boot the liveusb install gdisk and fix it
[17:10] <twitchnln> theMAVERICK: I have a usb drive here that does the same thing from time to time, but it happens when drive is reading and usb polls another device, causing drive to pause. could be hardware, could be something to do with running processes
[17:10] <iceroot> urlin2u: and why installing lilo but not grub?
[17:10] <iceroot> urlin2u: i dont get why lilo should be better
[17:10] <theMAVERICK> twitchnln: so, can I atleast recover my data that I currently have before the reboot
[17:11] <urlin2u> iceroot, there is no ubuntu or linux grub works when you have a OS that uses it.
[17:11] <theMAVERICK> twitchnln: because a reboot will not even give me a shell, and a livecd will not allow me to tweak the partitions, I have tried numerous times
[17:11] <meoblast001> hi
[17:11] <twitchnln> theMAVERICK: you should be able to, like i said boot from live cd, ie: knoppix and fsck the /home partition
[17:11] <meoblast001> what should i do when i was doing a dist upgrade, it locked up, and i killed it
[17:11] <meoblast001> now i get E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
[17:11] <urlin2u> spot_, what is the ubuntu cd you have
[17:11] <iceroot> urlin2u: and how is this question releated to ubuntu?
[17:11] <theMAVERICK> twitchnln: I promise it won't work, I tried for the last two weeks
[17:11] <twitchnln> theMAVERICK: whatever you do, don't fsck mounted partition
[17:11] <lh> list
[17:11] <iceroot> spot_: you want a booloader for window/mac without installing linux?
[17:12] <twitchnln> theMAVERICK: bad things happen if you do
[17:12] <spot_> i have installed linux
[17:12] <spot_> ubuntu
[17:12] <theMAVERICK> twitchnln: agreed, so...then it is impossible to get this data off, or what?
[17:12] <urlin2u> iceroot it isn't but the user wont go away so personally I was trying to get them booted so they would. :D
[17:12] <spot_> but the grub doesent load my operating systems
[17:12] <theMAVERICK> twitchnln: this is a re-recording of a track I lost last week because of the same problem
[17:12] <iceroot> spot_: can you write in one line what is the issue and what you want?
[17:12] <theMAVERICK> twitchnln: I REALLY don't want to redo it a third time
[17:12] <iceroot> spot_: and why not fixing grub?
[17:13] <urlin2u> iceroot, we have been trying that for awhile god luck.
[17:13] <spot_> i tried to fix grub in every way
[17:13] <urlin2u> good*
[17:13] <twitchnln> theMAVERICK: after fsck the partition from knoppix, reboot and see if it mounts correctly, if so i don't see why you couldn't recover it
[17:13] <iceroot> spot_: what is the error from grub?
[17:13] <escott> spot_, you are not doing yourself a service constantly changing your objective whenever you run into the slightest difficulty. if you keep doing this you will at some point find yourself reading some advanced documentation which will suggest a command that will wipe out your entire system
[17:13] <meoblast001> how do i break all locks in APT?
[17:13] <iceroot> spot_: you are using an ubuntu-installation which installed grub on your system?
[17:13] <theMAVERICK> twitchnln: here is the problem, knoppix and livecds crash when I try to use fdisk or gdisk after this GPT error
[17:13] <spot_> there is no error , i just got a black screen with a cliping cursor and after this nothing happens
[17:14] <theMAVERICK> twitchnln: I tried a couple different versions, basically as soon as I shutdown, this is done, I lose it all
[17:14] <twitchnln> theMAVERICK: don't use fdisk, use fsck
[17:14] <iceroot> spot_: and you are booting the drive where grub is installed?
[17:14] <urlin2u> iceroot, here is what they have 2 ntfs and a failed ubuntu install nothing booting. http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/8859/screenshotnxd.png
[17:14] <theMAVERICK> twitchnln: that is what I meant
[17:14] <spot_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/729800/
[17:14] <spot_> yes
[17:14] <theMAVERICK> gparted, and fsck won't work
[17:14] <spot_> my harddisk
[17:15] <mint> can i install ubuntu on usb but not as live
[17:15] <iceroot> spot_: when you are booting your system, can you press "SHIFT" to open the grub-menu?
[17:15] <theMAVERICK> twitchnln: before I tinker, it is impossible to get the data off of the computer?
[17:15] <spot_> nope
[17:15] <BluesKaj> !who | spot_
[17:16] <iceroot> mint: yes
[17:16] <theMAVERICK> twitchnln: because last time I rebooted with a livecd, fsck, fdisk, gparted everything i tried would not deal with this mystery GPT partition that appears out of nowhere
[17:16] <mint> how can i do it
[17:16] <escott> theMAVERICK, if you have any reason to believe that you have a gpt and msdos partition you MUST use gdisk FIRST
[17:16] <spot_> iceroot:i tried hold shift, f6 ,ins ,e , nothing works
[17:16] <twitchnln> theMAVERICK: doubtful, but then i'm not at console so i can't say for sure, more than likely the data will be recoverable
[17:16] <iceroot> mint: there is no difference as in the normal installation
[17:17] <theMAVERICK> twitchnln: definitely not
[17:17] <iceroot> mint: just choose your usb-drive instead of the hardsic as target
[17:17] <theMAVERICK> escott: why gdisk first?
[17:17] <iceroot> mint: also install grub on the usb-drive instead of your harddisc
[17:17] <spot_> iceroot i reinstaled grub2 , fixed it , still nothing
[17:17] <escott> theMAVERICK, its the only tool that can understand/allow you to modify a hybrid partition table. and without a correct partition table there is no valid partition to fsck
[17:17] <iceroot> spot_: press shift (imo only left-shift) is working while your pc is booting (press it very often to hit the right time)
[17:18] <spot_> iceroot , yes i tried i tell you , nothing works
[17:18] <mint> iceroot it does not allow me to partition  my usb
[17:19] <theMAVERICK> escott: how can I run it if it is not installed? is it standard in a livecd?
[17:19] <Penth> What is the little text box that pops up in the bottom right when you type in the Unity desktop? It doesn't seem to do anything.
[17:19] <spot_> iceroot please just tell me how to install lilo
[17:19] <theMAVERICK> escott: because I just lost write privileges, I cannot install gdisk
[17:19] <iceroot> spot_: you cant use lilo to boot windows
[17:19] <iceroot> spot_: imo, because lilo cant do the chainloader-part
[17:20] <iceroot> spot_: and there is no reason to install lilo
[17:20] <escott> theMAVERICK, you have to do this from the livecd/liveusb you cant do anything with the partitions mounted
[17:20] <iceroot> spot_: have you used a live-cd to reinstall grub on /dev/sda?
[17:20] <spot_> iceroot : so what should i do so i can boot linux or windows or windows cd ??
[17:20] <BluesKaj> spot_,, holding the shift key down immediately after the bios scrn til grub appears
[17:20] <escott> theMAVERICK, and its not standard, but you can install it to ram (its only a few kb)
[17:20] <iceroot> spot_: you cant boot windows-cd?
[17:21] <spot_> iceroot: yes , i tried reinstaling grub
[17:21] <urlin2u> spot_, I notice that the boot script is different then the gparted screen shot which one is correct? Which one is what you have right now?
[17:21] <iceroot> spot_: you cant boot windows-cd?
[17:21] <spot_> iceroot: i will try with shift if you say...
[17:21] <iceroot> spot_: please anser my question
[17:21] <spot_> iceroot i can boot windows cd but it got block at short time after
[17:21] <iceroot> spot_: maybe a hardware-issue?
[17:22] <iceroot> spot_: so high tempratur or something like that?
[17:22] <Penth> Answer to my question: it just helps you select items on the desktop--if you have any.
[17:22] <iceroot> spot_: if you cant boot the windows-cd its not a ubuntu/grub issue but a hardware-issue
[17:22] <HalfMadDad> Hi everyone, I have a character bash can't print. I get a rectangle with numbers inside it. Is there a way to look up what this character is?
[17:22] <spot_> iceroot: it work since i tried to install ubuntu , it's working now
[17:22] <iceroot> spot_: windows-cd has nothing to do with ubuntu
[17:22] <ohzie_> test
[17:23] <spot_> iceroot i CAN BOOT windows cd
[17:23] <iceroot> spot_: ok
[17:23] <MJN96> h3ll0 h4ck0rz
[17:23] <MJN96> _:D
[17:23] <Penth> HalfMadDad, the numbers are hard to read, but they are the unicode value of the character it's trying to print
[17:23] <iceroot> spot_: can you boot a ubuntu-live-system please?
[17:23] <iceroot> MJN96: no need that here
[17:23] <JayJSE21> can someone help me? I can't find how to install a theme/cursors?
[17:23] <spot_> iceroot but is getting blocked at a moment  ,an i readed from googles searches that this has something to do with grub
[17:23] <HalfMadDad> Penth: thanks, I should be able to enlarge and read, thanks again!
[17:24] <MonkeyDust> JayJSE21: you need to download them and add to ~/.themes
[17:24] <psilo23> Hi everyone, has anyone experienced problems with the moonlight plugin on Ubuntu 11.10 ?
[17:24] <Misiex> anyone use pentagram tablet with ubuntu?
[17:24] <iceroot> spot_: never heard of something like that but ok
[17:24] <iceroot> !anyone | Misiex
[17:24] <iceroot> spot_: but you can boot an ubuntu-live-system?
[17:24] <JayJSE21> where is ~/.themes?
[17:25] <urlin2u> iceroot, if you look at the gparted screen shot it shows no ubuntu install the bootscript shows a different setup seems a bit stange don't you think?
[17:25] <spot_> iceroot yes , i'm here with live ubuntu
[17:25] <iceroot> JayJSE21: ~  means /home/username
[17:25] <pleiotropy> so my card is a card 6 HDA intel. There are two problems: 1) with the asus_nb_wmi module the volume control keys are still not working. 2) the audio itself is not working. I just have snd_hda_codec loaded, not snd_hda_intel. in the audio preferences no hardware is recognized.
[17:25] <Penth> ~ is your home directory
[17:25] <MonkeyDust> JayJSE21: /home/your_name/.themes
[17:25] <MJN96> of course
[17:25] <MJN96> l33t is needed evrywhere
[17:26] <spot_> iceroot search on google setup windows black screen and you will see what i mean
[17:26] <Misiex> what kind of 2d graphics programs offers ubuntu?
[17:26] <hax> Hello Swedes.
[17:26] <ph8> hey all, in oneiric I have two screens - is there a way to get my launcher bar onto the centre screen instead of the left (default)?
[17:27] <hax> Yes there is.
[17:27] <MonkeyDust> ph8: yes, there's a patch, i'll look it up
[17:27] <ph8> cheers MonkeyDust!
[17:27] <JayJSE21> there is no folder with my username there, only documents, music, pictures....
[17:28] <iceroot> JayJSE21: the folder which contains documents, music, pictures is the one wih your username
[17:28] <MonkeyDust> ph8: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/10/how-to-move-unity-launcher-to-bottom-of.html
[17:28] <iceroot> JayJSE21: also remeber .themes is a hidden directory. everything starting with . is hidden
[17:28] <ph4nt0m_> hi can someone pls tell me how to resize my hard drive ?
[17:28] <JayJSE21> so how do I show it?
[17:28] <ph4nt0m_> im on version 11.10
[17:28] <iceroot> !gparted | ph4nt0m_
[17:28] <ph4nt0m_> ty
[17:28] <hax> I think 10.10 LTS is better though.,
[17:29] <iceroot> hax: 10.10 is no lts
[17:29] <ph8> cheers MonkeyDust!
[17:29] <ph8> unity's grown on me
[17:29] <ph8> i saw it and basically put oneiric to one side for a few weeks
[17:29] <ph4nt0m_> ive gotten used to 11.10 altho i admit at first i was like wtf have you done to it lol
[17:29] <ph8> but i can't stop myself upgrading
[17:29] <ph8> i can't help but feel there's a later version out there :p
[17:29] <JayJSE21> wait, got it,  but still no themes folder
[17:29] <hax> 10.04 ofc*
[17:29] <iceroot> JayJSE21: enable to see hidden directries, type in nautilus directly the path (or use nautilus ~/.themes) or use the shell "cd ~/.themes"
[17:29] <ph8> currently my only beef is task switching
[17:29] <ph8> as i have to unhide the launcher
[17:29] <robinsch> hi, I am trying to make my ubuntu boot faster and I want to know what I need to do to make this possible?
[17:29] <ph8> and then click on my app

[17:31] <ViaNocturna85> right, Installed ndiswrapper and installed a Marvell wireless driver and its recognised and working, but it wont scan or connect
[17:32] <ph8> two further questions, a) can you get the task bar back? not the menus but the 'running apps' list and b) how do i open two copies of something! I read ctrl+click in launcher but that's not working
[17:33] <MonkeyDust> ph8: you mean gnome-panel?
[17:33] <ph8> i guess so
[17:33] <ph8> the gnome panel that shows currently running apps
[17:34] <MonkeyDust> sudo apt-get install gnome-panel, then, i guess
[17:34] <spot_> iceroot ok ,i tried with shif before it boots the drive , and nothing
[17:34] <pleiotropy> anyone about the problem with my audio card? should snd_hda_intel be loaded or just snd_hda_codec is fine?
[17:34] <BluesKaj> spot_, after the bios screen

[17:36] <Olson_> can you install gnome 3 in ubuntu 10.04?
[17:36] <escott> Olson_, its not advisable
[17:36] <MonkeyDust> JayJSE21: never mind that link, i think i'm mistaking
[17:36] <Olson_> thank you
[17:37] <MonkeyDust> JayJSE21: try this link: http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Install-GNOME-Themes-in-Ubuntu-11-10-231213.shtml
[17:38] <amit_> I have problem related to cheese. Any one to help
[17:38] <escott> !help | amit_
[17:39] <ViaNocturna85> Marvell driver not working properly
[17:39] <rallias> Erm... for whatever reason, some packages aren't showing up in my package manager... including two I "need"
[17:39] <Gentoo64> rallias: what ones?
[17:39] <Gentoo64> maybe theyre not in the repos
[17:39] <doki_pen> does ubuntu use mongodb for something?
[17:39] <amit_> My chese is showing odd colors when using at 12808720  while on low resol at almost 800 it is working fine. In 11.04 it was working fine on 1280*720
[17:39] <rallias> Gentoo64: virtualbox for one
[17:40] <harsh343> mai i know the channel for windows XP
[17:40] <rallias> Gentoo64 Gnome-shell for another
[17:40] <Gentoo64> rallias: have you tried apt-cache search
[17:40] <rallias> Gentoo64 I'm in synaptic, I've tried apt-cache, I can't use the software center
[17:42] <ViaNocturna85> mrv8335 windows driver on ndiswrapper is working, but wont scan or connect to network, can anyone help?
[17:42] <escott> rallias, make sure that you are subscribed to the source that the packages are in (either ppa or partner) etc
[17:43] <rallias> escott packages.ubuntu.com says they're in main
[17:43] <robert___> Can Ubuntu 11.04 show a printer share over the network but not really allow connections to it?
[17:43] <harsh343> any irc channel for windows
[17:43] <harsh343> ?
[17:43] <Gentoo64> rallias: maybe try apt-get update
[17:43] <rallias> er universe
[17:43] <Gentoo64> idk
[17:43] <lunitik> harsh343: ##windows
[17:43] <rallias> Gentoo64 tried multiple times
[17:44] <lunitik> rallias: what are you looking for?
[17:44]  * lunitik just got here
[17:44] <rallias> lumitik virtualbox and gnome-shell
[17:44] <rallias> oh...
[17:44] <JayJSE21> ok, so what about installing icons and cursors?
[17:44] <rallias> I guess its not on anl.gov or pnl.gov...
[17:45] <lunitik> rallias: I see both in oneiric
[17:45] <harsh343> lunitik, thanks
[17:45] <rallias> lumitik I just found out its not on anl or pnl mirrors
[17:46] <harsh343> lunitik, is it possible to run mysql on command prompt on winwos XP ?
[17:46] <lunitik> rallias: strange a mirror would limit what they host... seems more work than its worth rather than just rsync'ing -heh
[17:46] <Jolein> hi all
[17:46] <escott> rallias, but are you subscribed to universe?
[17:46] <lunitik> harsh343: No idea, I haven't ran Windows in 12 years, I just know the channel is there
[17:46] <rallias> escott I'm subscribed to all the repo's.
[17:46] <Jolein> anyone here would know what the problem is when exaile just refuses to play again ever after being pauzed ?
[17:46] <bekks> harsh343: There's #mysql, and the answer to your question is yes.
[17:46] <rallias> I just switched to umn.edu and it appeared.
[17:47] <lunitik> Jolein: did you play a sound elsewhere?
[17:47] <pleiotropy> hello. my audio is not working, I see no hardware recognized in the audio preferences. my card is a intel hda 6 one.
[17:47] <Jolein> yes youtube
[17:47] <lunitik> Jolein: lsof /dev/snd/* and kill what is displayed
[17:47] <nicofs> Can someone help me to get DVB-T working? Either with a no-name device that identifies as "1d2c:1003" or with a Cinergy hybridXE ("0ccd:0086")...
[17:47] <lunitik> Jolein: your exhaile apparently isn't using pulse
[17:48] <harsh343> bekks, do u know the command i am installing wamp server by wamp server i am able run mysql but i want run through comman prompt
[17:48] <bekks> harsh343: This isnt windows support unfortunately.
[17:48] <Gentoo64> rallias: check https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors
[17:48] <lunitik> harsh343: this is #ubuntu ...
[17:48] <Gentoo64> might give you an idea of how reliabel they culd ne
[17:48] <harsh343> bekks, ok
[17:48] <lunitik> harsh343: this isn't even the channel for Ubuntu based server questions, this is a desktop channel
[17:48] <harsh343> lunitik, ok
[17:49] <Jolein> i hear music now but nowhere exaile to be found
[17:50] <spot_> ok , i'm back , now i almost get to grub , what do i do after presing shift before bios if the grub just says 'Grub loading .' and a white cursor beyond ?
[17:50] <Jolein> thx guys
[17:50] <Jolein> fixed
[17:51] <robert___> is there a printer help channel?
[17:51] <lunitik> pleiotropy: lsmod | grep snd show anything?
[17:51] <lunitik> robert___: this would work...
[17:51] <lunitik> robert___: unless you need help with the hardware of the printer, there is ##hardware but idk if that is relevant either to the actual printer
[17:52] <pleiotropy> lunitik, yeah there is a bunch of different snd_ lines
[17:52] <puff> I just installed 11.10 last night and have encountered a bug.  The screensaver does not un-screen save.    Typing my password blindly doesn't unlock things.  If I close the lid so the laptop suspends and then open it to unsuspend, I get the normal unlock screen.
[17:52] <lunitik> pleiotropy: then it is loaded fine... alsamixer and ensure everything is turned up perhaps?
[17:52] <ymer> Hello, what is e-addressbook-factory ?
[17:52] <rallias> yeah, I just checked anl.gov and they don't host virtualbox according to packages.gz under universe.
[17:53] <robert___> i'm trying to share my printer on this machine running Ubuntu 11.04 with my laptop running win xp and it shows under printers on laptop but wont print in desktop
[17:53] <ymer> it is running in processes taking a fair lump of my mem
[17:53] <pleiotropy> lunitik, actually I can't open alsamixer somehow, I get "cannot open mixer: No such file or directory"
[17:54] <lunitik> ymer: which e-addressbook-factory ... then dpkg -S /path/to/file ... see where it came from?
[17:54] <tash> Hi, I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 Server. I have a second hard drive that I want to mount and use as a storage partition. I did mkdir /data ... and fdisk -l shows that the 1TB drive is at /dev/sdb.  Would I do mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb ?
[17:54] <lunitik> pleiotropy: /etc/init.d/alsa restart ?
[17:54] <tash> b/c I tried and got an error about that already being in use  or something.
[17:54] <puff> How do I determine if my install is running unity2D
[17:54] <puff> ?
[17:54] <escott> tash, you need to put a partition table on it first with parted or gparted
[17:54] <tash> my OS is on /dev/sda
[17:55] <lunitik> pleiotropy: also prolly /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart
[17:55] <tash> escott: oh? which do you recomment?
[17:55] <tash> recommend*
[17:55] <lunitik> puff: If you are using 11.x and you didn't select something else, you are...
[17:55] <escott> tash, then you mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb#; mount /dev/sdb# /data where # is the partition number you want (and make sure there is no data on sdb# first
[17:55] <robert___>  the laptop shows it printed but no document on decktop.
[17:55] <spot_> iceroot are you still here?
[17:56] <puff> lunitik: So it defaults to unity2d?
[17:56] <escott> ymer, evolution address book
[17:56] <pleiotropy> lunitik, pulseaudio restarted fine, alsa gives back "bash: /etc/init.d/alsa: No such file or directory"
[17:56] <escott> tash, parted is a cli, gparted is a gui
[17:56] <lunitik> puff: it falls back to unity2D if 3D doesn't work with your drivers in 11.10
[17:56] <tash> I'll do parted then
[17:56] <tash> i'll check man page
[17:56] <ymer> lunitik: dpkg -S /usr/lib/evolution/e-addressbook-factory
[17:56] <ymer> evolution-data-server: /usr/lib/evolution/e-addressbook-factory
[17:57] <tash> escott: if I just want that drive to be one large data drive...would you recommend I just do /dev/sdb1 ?
[17:57] <pleiotropy> lunitik, in /etc/init.d I just have alsa-store and alsa-restore
[17:57] <lunitik> ymer: then it is related to evolutions address book...
[17:57] <escott> tash, thats perfectly acceptable
[17:57] <puff> lunitik: Right, so how do I figure out if it has fallen back or not?
[17:57] <lunitik> pleiotropy: I just saw that, sorry... does sound work now though if you log out and back in?
[17:57] <AndyUbuntu> does anyone know howto install lirc on 11.10?
[17:57] <tash> escott: thank you for your help ... here often?
[17:58] <tash> I might need further assistance :P
[17:58] <AndyUbuntu> i am having huge problems at the mo
[17:58] <lunitik> puff: they are actually very similar, so I'm not sure to be honest...
[17:58] <pleiotropy> lunitik, I will just try it, please wait
[17:58] <ymer>  lunitik: I don't used evolution so how to stop that, I would rather free up that memory
[17:58] <tash> escott: oh, and that drive shouldn't have any data on it, but when I do 'parted' won't it erase everything anyway?
[17:58] <lunitik> AndyUbuntu: umm, trick question? apt-get install lirc
[17:59] <lunitik> ymer: pkill e-addressbook-factory would work...
[17:59] <AndyUbuntu> lunitik, I have installed it but it is not working at all
[17:59] <lunitik> AndyUbuntu: what are you trying to use it through?
[17:59] <AndyUbuntu> was not sure if there had been a problem with it
[17:59] <nicofs> please, can someone help me install my usb tv-stick?
[18:00] <AndyUbuntu> I am using a haupuage 1110 remote control
[18:00] <ymer> Lunitik: thanks
[18:00] <lunitik> AndyUbuntu: no, what application?
[18:00] <pleiotropy> lunitik, sound does not work, I cannot access sound preferences. rhythmbox does not play mp3 files
[18:00] <AndyUbuntu> I just wanted to test the keys out first
[18:01] <AndyUbuntu> I was thinking of using it with clementine or vlc or programs lik that
[18:01] <iceroot> someone on an eeepc (or other systems with rt2800 wifi chipset) on ubuntu 10.10: can you please paste me the output of "lsmod | grep rt28"
[18:01] <lunitik> AndyUbuntu: I do not think remote controls work system wide... you can try installing lirc-x to see though since it is for x in general
[18:01] <escott> tash, changing a partition table results in the loss of any data on that device
[18:01] <AndyUbuntu> oh ok
[18:02] <lunitik> AndyUbuntu: (X is the desktop system)
[18:02] <tash> yeah, so that's fine
[18:02] <AndyUbuntu> when i install lirc on its own though i thought you could still configure it
[18:02] <AndyUbuntu> yeah thats ok
[18:02] <tash> so, when I boot and I do fdisk -l and it lists it as /dev/sdb ... couldn't I just do fdisk /dev/sdb ?
[18:02] <AndyUbuntu> I would like to test if my keys are working
[18:02] <lunitik> AndyUbuntu: dpkg -L lirc to see what it installed... there should be something in /etc/ which can be used to configure
[18:02] <lunitik> AndyUbuntu: X might just set it up automagically though
[18:03] <AndyUbuntu> thats ok
[18:03] <psilo23> Hmmm, i have got moonlight to work at Lubuntu 11.10 but somehow during streaming it will keep a "Loading video..." text in the center of the screen, anyone has this same problem ?
[18:03] <min|dvir|us> Anyone familiar with Audacity?
[18:03] <iceroot> in which package i can found the modules loaded for wifi-devices? directly in the kernel-package?
[18:03] <lunitik> psilo23: mono has a channel on irc.gnome.org
[18:03] <pleiotropy> lunitik, the complete audio system looks broken. why shouldn't I be able to access the sound preferences?
[18:04] <lunitik> pleiotropy: because sound has not been initiated, which everything else is saying... but the modules are loaded so idk where to proceed to
[18:04] <psilo23> lunitik: ubuntu has a channel on irc.freenode.net
[18:04] <BluesKaj> min|dvir|us, I am somewhat familiar , have used it to digitize vinyl
[18:04] <min|dvir|us> BluesKaj: I want to fade out.
[18:04] <lunitik> psilo23: yes, but few bother with mono or moonlight
[18:04] <min|dvir|us> I am using the Envelope Tool, but it gives me a big no cursor when I try to use it.
[18:05] <psilo23> yeah i wish i wouldnt have to deal with moonlight also
[18:05] <pleiotropy> lunitik, giving pulseaudio --start, I get the preferences and rhythmbox to work. still I get no audio and in the preferences I see no hardware recognized
[18:05] <THE_GFR|WORK> hey everyone I have a problem I can't ssh into my ubuntu 11.10 box, and the screen is black but I can move the mouse pointer around, and the screen comes out of power saving mode ideas?
[18:06] <lunitik> psilo23: anyway, I have suggested a channel where the developers of moonlight will be hanging out... or you can waste time here where it is unlikely many have even attempted to use it
[18:06] <THE_GFR|WORK> normally I would just reboot the computer but I was attempting to use ddrescue to backup a hard drive...
[18:06] <lunitik> pleiotropy: I do not know where to advance, sorry
[18:06] <THE_GFR|WORK> any commands I can do from the keyboard to get the screen back?
[18:06] <AndyUbuntu> i i thought you could use you remote for volume or play and pause
[18:07] <AndyUbuntu> did not think it was restricted to applications
[18:07] <THE_GFR|WORK> AndyUbuntu: what's a "you remote"?
[18:07] <AndyUbuntu> a remote control for lirc
[18:07] <THE_GFR|WORK> oh, I didn't know there was such a thing as a "you remote"
[18:08] <Adrenalin> haha, skynet !
[18:08] <AndyUbuntu> lol, i dont think so either
[18:08] <AndyUbuntu> i am just trying to get lirc working
[18:08] <Guest60132> vn
[18:09] <Guest60132> co ai khong
[18:09] <nicofs> According to this http://blog.xanthias.de/2011/07/equinux-tubestick/ , my tv stick is supported - and ubuntu should ask for additional drivers upon plugging it in - but it doesn't ... please - is it too much to ask for television on linux?!?
[18:09] <BluesKaj> min|dvir|us, make sure you a file into audacity then look at the effects tab , in the drop down there are fadein and fadeout options
[18:11] <bekks> nicofs: that article is for 10.04, which version of ubuntu do you have?
[18:11] <nicofs> bekks, current, 11.10
[18:11] <lolalololabot> Hi I'm thinking of upgrading 10.10 straight to 12.04 and leaving it for years, what do you guys think ?
[18:12] <EvilResistance> lolalololabot:  you'd need to upgrade to 11,04 and then 11.10 first
[18:12] <bekks> nicofs: And according to your article, you have to download some additional firmware. No word about some "do you want to download something" upon plugin it in.
[18:12] <EvilResistance> lolalololabot:  you can only direct-upgrade from LTS to LTS (10.04 to 12.04)
[18:12] <lolalololabot> EvilResistance: You're kidding me ?!
[18:12] <bekks> nicofs: If that doesnt work in 11.10, you have to take a look at linuxtv.org and you may find a solution there.
[18:12] <EvilResistance> lolalololabot:  nope
[18:13] <lolalololabot> I'm sure I did an upgrade via a cd ?
[18:13] <EvilResistance> lolalololabot:  from 10.04 to 10.10\
[18:13] <EvilResistance> lolalololabot:  that works for single-release jumps
[18:13] <EvilResistance> lolalololabot:  but not from a non-LTS to an LTS
[18:13] <THE_GFR|WORK> hey everyone I have a problem I can't ssh into my ubuntu 11.10 box, and the screen is black but I can move the mouse pointer around, and the screen comes out of power saving mode ideas?
[18:14] <nicofs> bekks, it all leads me to this: http://linuxtv.org/hg/~anttip/af9015/ - but i don't know what to download there... or better to say, the archive i can download there can't be opened...
[18:14] <EvilResistance> lolalololabot:  except if you have the version just before LTS (like 11.10 before 12.04)
[18:14] <lolalololabot> no - I'm sure I've skipped releases ... like edgy to miss a few
[18:14] <lolalololabot> Hmmmmm
[18:14] <Xeneth> I got a interesting questing.  Writing a paper and trying to think of a way to describe the /dev folder.  Would it be accurate to compare it to Windows device manager?
[18:14] <lolalololabot> That REALLY sux
[18:14] <EvilResistance> Xeneth:  no it wouldnt.
[18:14] <raven> how to poweroff the system by command?
[18:14] <EvilResistance> raven:  sudo shutdown -h now
[18:14] <escott> raven, shutdown -h now
[18:15] <lolalololabot> So what do I upgrade to from 10.10 if I want to remain on gtk2 ?
[18:15] <Chiel92> raven: or just sudo halt
[18:15] <raven> escott, EvilResistance that only "halts" the system like halt, like poweroff, like anything
[18:15] <escott> Xeneth, no. its better to say that in unix everything is a file and dev is where the files for devices reside
[18:15] <EvilResistance> raven:  that's what you asked for.  :/
[18:15] <Xeneth> EvilResistance, then how should it be described?  I only have a mild understanding and the paper is a comparison of Windows and Linux
[18:15] <EvilResistance> Xeneth:  read escott's command.
[18:16] <EvilResistance> er
[18:16] <bekks> nicofs: You have to download the archive, unpack it, and compile the driver. On details about that, you might contact the author or consult the readme of the driver.
[18:16] <EvilResistance> message even
[18:16] <lolalololabot> EvilResistance: So what do I upgrade to from 10.10 if I want to remain on gtk2 ?
[18:16] <raven> EvilResistance, "poweroff" is not "halt" - i asked for the first one
[18:16] <tash> does this sound right to do if I want to make a new hard drive 1 partition....fdisk /dev/sdb, choose "n" for new partition, choose "p" for primary partition, enter "1" so it will be /dev/sdb1, then do mkfs -t ext4 /dev/sdb1
[18:16] <EvilResistance> raven:  that's how you power down the system - using the halt command.
[18:16] <nicofs> bekks, the archive can't be opened...
[18:16] <EvilResistance> raven:  shutdown turns off the system, but sometimes it wont actually power down.  -h (halt) forces that.
[18:17] <tash> escott: ^ that is different than what you suggested but I found those steps here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingANewHardDrive
[18:17] <lolalololabot> tash: Use disk manager it's easier
[18:17] <EvilResistance> raven:  its the same as if you hit "Shutdown" with the GUI
[18:17] <puff> Is "screen saver" the right phrase to us when searching for bugs  related to the screen going blank and failing to unblank?
[18:17] <Xeneth> escott, I keep wanting to think of /dev as where the device drivers are housed.  I know it's an over simplification of it so I am trying to get some detail.
[18:17] <tash> I'm talking about server edition, not desktop edition
[18:17] <tash> sorry
[18:17] <Xeneth> escott, You have a good referance?
[18:17] <THE_GFR|WORK> hey everyone I have a problem I can't ssh into my ubuntu 11.10 box, and the screen is black but I can move the mouse pointer around, and the screen comes out of power saving mode ideas?
[18:17] <escott> tash, i would advise against using fdisk as it doesnt support larger disks, but otherwise im sure its fine. (and for a 1tb disk fdisk is ok, but for larger use parted)
[18:18] <lolalololabot> tash: running a server you really should know these things but you're right
[18:18] <THE_GFR|WORK> hey everyone I have a problem I can't ssh into my ubuntu 11.10 box, and the screen is black but I can move the mouse pointer around, and the screen comes out of power saving mode ideas?
[18:18] <Bhgn> porn
[18:18] <tash> escott: thanks for your helpful advice
[18:18] <escott> Xeneth, the drivers are in the kernel. the best way to understand /dev is to "read" the first few bits of /dev/sda
[18:18] <lolalololabot> THE_GFR|WORK: ctrl-alt-f1
[18:19] <THE_GFR|WORK> lolalololabot: really?
[18:19] <lolalololabot> THE_GFR|WORK: Should give you a console, yes
[18:19] <puff> THE_GFR|WORK: I'm having a bug where I don't get an unlock screen dialog, I just get a white screen;  if I close the lid so it suspends and then open it again, I get an unlock screen.
[18:20] <raven> the system does not poweroff by ANY command
[18:20] <EvilResistance> raven:  press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
[18:20] <EvilResistance> it'll force-off the system
[18:20] <lolalololabot> lol @ EvilResistance
[18:20] <THE_GFR|WORK> lolalololabot: what does this tell me?
[18:20] <EvilResistance> !lol
[18:20] <EvilResistance> ugh
[18:20] <EvilResistance> ubottu died
[18:20] <raven> EvilResistance, thats not usable for a server in another room
[18:21] <lolalololabot> kill -HUP ubottu
[18:21] <EvilResistance> raven:  then you're SOL.  If the system does not wish to respond, and you can't force it to shut down with sudo shutdown -h now, then something else must be hanging up the system.
[18:21] <lolalololabot> hey EvilResistance - So what should I upgrade to ? Or am I best sticking to 10.10
[18:21] <EvilResistance> lolalololabot:  11.04 is a start.
[18:22] <EvilResistance> lolalololabot:  10.10 is kind of oldish
[18:22] <THE_GFR|WORK> lolalololabot: what can I do from that screen?
[18:22] <LargePrime> no unity
[18:22] <lolalololabot> EvilResistance: :/
[18:22] <BluesKaj> raven , sudo halt
[18:22] <THE_GFR|WORK> just say no to unity!
[18:22] <lolalololabot> THE_GFR|WORK: login
[18:22] <THE_GFR|WORK> lolalololabot: it's already logged in and scrolling tons of data by
[18:22] <LargePrime> unity has unified the unity haters
[18:23] <lolalololabot> THE_GFR|WORK: NICE - Can I haz your PC ?
[18:23] <THE_GFR|WORK> lolalololabot: what?
[18:23] <lolalololabot> THE_GFR|WORK: Are they kernel messages ?
[18:23] <THE_GFR|WORK> lolalololabot: I would suspect so but I'm not sure
[18:23] <THE_GFR|WORK> it's about the SATA controller
[18:23] <lolalololabot> THE_GFR|WORK: Ahhhh ic
[18:24] <Abhijit> hi
[18:24] <jost> hi
[18:25] <Abhijit> does 11.10 bye defualt forces encryption of /home?
[18:25] <bekks> Abhijit: No.
[18:25] <Abhijit> bekks, is there any way to know if my /home is encrypted or not?
[18:26] <bekks> Abhijit: Just take a look at the output of "df -h"
[18:26] <THE_GFR|WORK> lolalololabot: what do I do next?
[18:26] <escott> Abhijit, check mount and see if there is a .Private mounted on /home/username
[18:26] <lolalololabot> THE_GFR|WORK: Start worrying maybe even panic if you've not made any backups LOL
[18:27] <THE_GFR|WORK> lolalololabot: nah I'm trying to BACKUP a hard drive, when this happened it's not a huge deal I'd just like to get back to the screen I had where I could see something actually happening I.E. a status I was using ddrescue to backup the drive
[18:28] <lolalololabot> THE_GFR|WORK: ctrl-alt-f7 no good ?
[18:28] <THE_GFR|WORK> lolalololabot: I'll try that I didn't remember that command
[18:28] <Olson__> why does empathy suck so bad?
[18:29] <THE_GFR|WORK> lolalololabot: no, the ctrl+alt+F7 takes me back to the black screen white mouse pointer and nothing else

[18:30] <asdf-> hi, i tried uninstalling evolution and i screwed up my desktop in the process. googling this problem i found someone who recommended doing "sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop"... this didn't work. Does anyone have any suggestions?
[18:30] <Abhijit_> because it asked me to run the command for passphrase first time login
[18:30] <bekks> Abhijit_: Then it is... otherwise it wouldnt prompt you, right?
[18:30] <Abhijit_> right
[18:30] <chujus> Hello everybody! JAK SIE BAWICIE?!

[18:31] <Abhijit_> bekks, while installing the 11.10 the option for ask password on login and the checkbox for encrypt my home was selected by default and it was grayed out so that i can not change it
[18:31] <THE_GFR|WORK> lolalololabot: can't login with all the crap scrolling by
[18:31] <THE_GFR|WORK> it keeps saying login is incorrect
[18:31] <escott> Abhijit_, you cannot have both as the password is needed to decrypt
[18:31] <THE_GFR|WORK> when I try to login with root
[18:32] <dirk_> Mere mortals cannot edit the documentation at help.ubuntu.com/community  , right? Just wanted to make sure.
[18:32] <bekks> Abhijit_: Was your home already encrypted before?

[18:34] <bekks> lolalololabot: thanks for this non constructive post. bye.
[18:34] <THE_GFR|WORK> lolalololabot: no I can't login, because the stuff SCROLLING BY is acting as a username and or password
[18:34] <THE_GFR|WORK> I know the username and password for this
[18:34] <lolalololabot> bekks: It's that time of the month.... BYE
[18:34] <alienseer23> looks like someone else had the same problem http://pastebin.com/siwN8mJn help?
[18:34] <lolalololabot> THE_GFR|WORK: and reboot is not an option ?
[18:34] <escott> THE_GFR|WORK, the text scrolling by is not acting as the username or password
[18:35] <THE_GFR|WORK> lolalololabot: not at the moment
[18:35] <THE_GFR|WORK> escott: really?
[18:35] <Abhijit> escott, did not undertood you. bekks nope
[18:35] <THE_GFR|WORK> escott: oh then I'm doing it wrong
[18:35] <THE_GFR|WORK> escott: ok I'll try again
[18:35] <pleiotropy> hey guys why my laptop microphone is not listed under the input devices tab on the sound preferences window?

[18:35] <rocket16> Hey guys, how may I change Ubuntu's graphical menu during startup to that old (my beloved @_@) CUI that runs behind, listing various processes?
[18:35] <escott> THE_GFR|WORK, data can come out of stdout and be displayed but its a different stream from stdin. are you trying to login as "root" or as "username"
[18:36] <Poundo> trying to configure two virtual hosts on apache2 server <VirtualHost xxx.xxx.175.219:9856> and <VirtualHost xxx.xxx.175.219:9857> the ports.conf has NameVirtualHost set for both and Listen set for 9856,9857
[18:36] <ironhalik> pretty generic question - anyone knows something about compactflash to pc card adaptors? And deploying linux from it?
[18:36] <||arifaX> what is the OEM install option good for?
[18:36] <Poundo> only the 9856 site is accessible
[18:36] <escott> Abhijit, you cannot have autologin and encrypted home. its impossible. to see if you have encrypted home type "mount | grep Private" in your terminal and see if it outputs anything
[18:37] <Teethbrush> Hello.  I recently burned Ubuntu to a CD so I could try and scan my Windows hard drive with the boot CD because I have had some recurring problems that have not been resolved with a virus scan in Windows.  The only problem is that I am completely new to Ubuntu and don't know where to start or what to do.  Could anyone help me do a virus scan of my Windows hard drive with an Ubuntu boot CD?  Thank you.
[18:37] <Habstinat> I have an external hard drive, but when I mount it I can only view it as read only. How can I fix this?
[18:37] <Guest43815> irc.openjoke.org
[18:37] <escott> Teethbrush, you might want to use a different distro. the ubuntu livecd doesnt have the virus scanning software installed by default
[18:37] <||arifaX> Teethbrush: I would recommend you download a special AV CD from Avira, ESET, Kaspersky or whatever vendor for this.
[18:38] <lolalololabot> Poundo: you have a character in the second virualhost ... type it in again ... dont copy ..... and .......... paster
[18:38] <lolalololabot> .............paste..............
[18:38] <escott> !paste | Habstinat please pase the output of `mount`
[18:38] <LjL> lolalololabot: can you ease down on the ........... please? it's kind of annoying
[18:38] <Teethbrush> Okay, thank you.  I will try.
[18:39] <lolalololabot> LjL: Defec...t...i..ve keyboard I'm afraid.................
[18:39] <lolalololabot> donations welcome !!!!!!!...............
[18:39] <Poundo> lolalololabot: ok I'll check
[18:39] <lolalololabot> Poundo: Prolly a utf char
[18:39] <LjL> lolalololabot: hmm i'm afraid mine is defective too, sometimes people get randomly kicked.
[18:40] <Abhijit> escott, i think you misunderstood something. i know that we can not have autologin and encrtpt both. i was just telling what happend with me when i was installing 11.10. let me try that command
[18:40] <lolalololabot> Oh wait I fixed it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Praise the lord !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[18:40] <escott> Abhijit, im explaining why the checkbox would be disabled
[18:40] <THE_GFR|WORK> lolalololabot: the system didn't restart GDM at all, it's now not even letting me ctrl + alt + F2
[18:40]  * LjL rolls eyes
[18:40] <Abhijit> escott, that commmand gives a result about ecryptfs
[18:40] <Nick001> I have a hard drive acting like it is ready to go and I would like to transfer the system to a compact drive that I have installed as a slave to the master.  I have ubunto 8.04 with emc2 if that makes a difference.
[18:40] <steph7> how is possible: ifconfig wlan0 down but it's always up (and connected)?
[18:40] <THE_GFR|WORK> Nick001: what's "ubunto" ?
[18:41] <lolalololabot> LjL: my !!!! key is now stuck :(
[18:41] <escott> Abhijit, then you have an encrypted partition in the place listed after it says "on"
[18:41] <Abhijit> yes it says on
[18:41] <Nick001> ubuntu
[18:41] <THE_GFR|WORK> lolalololabot: what else can I do?
[18:41] <THE_GFR|WORK> Nick001: ah
[18:41] <urlin2u> Teethbrush, here is a list of live free av removers, get on a a forum that is for this as well on the web.  http://www.techmixer.com/free-bootable-antivirus-rescue-cds-download-list/
[18:41] <escott> Abhijit, thats "on" as in "location" not "on/off"
[18:41] <Abhijit> ok ok got it! :-)
[18:41] <Habstinat> escott: paste.ubuntu.com/730240
[18:41] <lolalololabot> THE_GFR|WORK: I would have yanked the power cable twenty minutes ago and would have been sitting in the pub by now
[18:41] <escott> Abhijit, its saying that the encrypted source /home/user/.Private is unencrypted and placed on top of /home/user
[18:42] <Teethbrush> Thank you again.
[18:42] <THE_GFR|WORK> lolalololabot: yea I don't want to start backing up a 500GB very very very bad hard drive all over again
[18:42] <escott> Habstinat, hfsplus is not supported in r/w mode.
[18:42] <Abhijit> escott, it says /home/abhijit/.Private on /home/abhijit/Private what that mean? is my whole /home is encrypted?
[18:42] <THE_GFR|WORK> also, ubuntu 11.10 sucks, no screen saver and no way that I could find to turn off putting the screen to sleep
[18:43] <escott> Abhijit, no it means the folder /home/abhijit/Private is encrypted. not the entire /home/abhijit
[18:43] <Abhijit> okies
[18:43] <Abhijit> Thank you for the clarification escott :-)
[18:43] <escott> Abhijit, the ciphertext is /home/abhijit/.Private
[18:43] <Abhijit> yeah
[18:43] <lolalololabot> THE_GFR|WORK: Next time back up with rsync
[18:43] <escott> Habstinat, you can't use a mac disk in read-write mode
[18:44] <Abhijit> ok need to go. bye. gn escott and all. and btw GNOME 3 Rocks!
[18:44] <THE_GFR|WORK> lolalololabot: I was backing it up with ddrescue
[18:44] <lolalololabot> escott: you can
[18:44] <varikonniemi> hello, is it possible to change the date format in the top right corner?
[18:44] <THE_GFR|WORK> lolalololabot: are you saying that ddrescue isn't as good as rsync?
[18:44] <urlin2u> Teethbrush, you could also use thatlive ubuntu cd to load a thumbdrive with this usb loader and put a number of the Live Iso's on it, the app itself has links to some. http://www.pendrivelinux.com/multiboot-create-a-multiboot-usb-from-linux/
[18:44] <escott> lolalololabot, really. in that case i guess explain to Habstinat how to do so. i always thought it wasnt
[18:45] <Habstinat> lolalololabot: Please explain.
[18:45] <lolalololabot> escott: I was rsyncing data for the lame mac users .. So I remember HFS+ being supported
[18:46] <escott> THE_GFR|WORK, ddrescue is a low level copy. rsync is a fast high level copy. usually rsync is used for backups
[18:46] <lolalololabot> escott: Copied from stupiduser.com 'Ubuntu only has support for writing to non-journaled HFS+ volumes.'
[18:46] <THE_GFR|WORK> escott: yes I need all the data off the drive it has many bad sectors
[18:48] <||arifaX> THE_GFR|WORK: ddrescue is wonderful piece of software, helped me serveral times! - Make sure you do set a logfile when using it and log to an external drive!
[18:48] <Teethbrush> Thank you, urlin2u, I will try all your suggestions.
[18:49] <THE_GFR|WORK> alright I'll just reboot
[18:50] <spot_> why if i type grub in ubuntu live terminal says that doesent exist and i should install it?
[18:50] <spot_> and why after install i have this grub> find /boot/grub/stage1  Error 15: File not found
[18:50] <asdf-> I screwed up my ubuntu desktop/unity... i've tried reinstalling compiz/unity/etc by following guides via google... anyone have any suggestions?
[18:50] <urlin2u> Teethbrush, the thing to remember is that most people just reinstall it takes a pro to get some of those cleaned out so if you do end up with a reinstall clone it for future needs before infected, and always have backups of stuff you can't loose.
[18:50] <escott> Habstinat, it sounds like you need to boot a mac and turn off the journaling on your hfs drive. but journaling is a good feature to have. i would probably try to find another way to do things over disabling journaling
[18:50] <||arifaX> they should open quassel by default during setup. had to export DISPLAY and start it manually :). waiting for downloads is soooo lame
[18:53] <brianherman> hello
[18:53] <brianherman> anyone need help
[18:54] <Poundo> lolalololabot: retyped the NameVirtualHost line in ports.conf and the VirtualHost line in the file for 9857 and still nothing and other diag suggestions

[19:21] <lolalololabot> hey zelrik - Thanks for the compliment
[19:21] <escott> zelrik, easiest way is create one in gimp that is the size you want
[19:21] <brianherman> under ubuntu can you run different video cards on the same motherboard
[19:21] <zelrik> I remember being able to load 2 wallpapers
[19:22] <zelrik> but I cant remember how
[19:22] <brianherman> like a 5500 and a 4670
[19:22] <Boontoo> escott: couldn't find package gdisk
[19:22] <Perni> hi
[19:22] <Shirakawasuna> asdf-: yeah, that can be a bit tricky
[19:23] <escott> Boontoo, run apt-get update first
[19:24] <escott> Boontoo, or just download the deb directly http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/gdisk
[19:24] <zelrik> maybe I should use a separate x screen?
[19:24] <Darkasakerionz> Hi! I recently install a openvpn server and client, and works very well, but only point to point, I can't access to de internet, how can I fix that?. Thank you so so much.
[19:24] <dmsdms> hi guys, does 10.10 liveCD automount drives at startup?
[19:24] <lolalololabot> zelrik: lol your choice... You'll soon see why that's a bad idea
[19:24] <Darkasakerionz> the*
[19:24] <escott> zelrik, thats going to make your life miserable as you wont be able to drag windows from one screen to the other. one challenge is that nautilus draws the root window, and I dont know that nautilus supports multiple backgrounds
[19:24] <brianherman> dmsdms: it should
[19:25] <brianherman> dmsdms: whats the problem
[19:25] <Christoffer> Is there any channel for unity developmenT?
[19:25] <zelrik> escott: oh I had that problem before, so that s why
[19:25] <escott> zelrik, you could disable nautilus on the root window and use a different tool to set the background, or just make a script with imagemagick to create a properly sized image with your two backgrounds
[19:25] <lolalololabot> Darkasakerionz: your route has changed to your vpn .... Check your routing table
[19:26] <Darkasakerionz> lolalololabot, can you tell me some info for making the routes?. Thank you.
[19:26] <dmsdms> ergh. its long and retarded from me. i managed to rm a whole home directory. (i meant the latest offering, 11 isnt it?) and so now want to attempt to recover it. but obviously dont want the drive automounting till i can dd it.
[19:27] <zelrik> escott: hmm I think I ll leave it as it is for now...
[19:27] <dmsdms> @brianherman btw
[19:27] <lolalololabot> lolalololabot: what happens is that when your client connects it tries to use the default route on the remote VPN network.. When you disconnect you have internet again, right ?
[19:27] <diamonds> yo
[19:27] <dluzius> can someone pls help me get a battery indicator in Ubuntu  running on a toshibe L-655
[19:28] <diamonds> I'm having trouble copying videos from my iphone
[19:28] <diamonds> using a Nokia it encodes/copies fine
[19:28] <diamonds> but the iphone videos come thru messed up (choppy, not moving at all, etc)
[19:29] <diamonds> is there some little "linux trick" I need to know about to get this working, or is this a "spend half a day fixing it" thing?
[19:29] <escott> dmsdms, so what is the question
[19:29] <diamonds> for example, with DVDs it was "Install mediubuntu repos" so that was a quick fix
[19:30] <diamonds> I hope it's just a small thing....
[19:30] <dmsdms> escott: whether liveCD automounts drives?
[19:30] <iceroot> diamonds: sounds like a codec is missing for your iphone-videos
[19:30] <lolalololabot> !iphone
[19:30] <dluzius> can someone pls help me get a battery indicator in Ubuntu  running on a toshibe L-655
[19:30] <escott> dmsdms, for hotplug yes. for builtin i dont think its automatic
[19:30] <urlin2u> diamonds, here is a wiki for up to maverick https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone
[19:31] <diamonds> urlin2u: is that for syncing or just videos?
[19:31] <diamonds> I'm not ready to jailbreak yet, I just want to pull the vids off it
[19:31] <lolalololabot> dluzius: what happens when you unplug the power cable ?
[19:31] <escott> dmsdms, and its not the end of the world if it gets mounted for a second, just as long as nothing is written to it
[19:31] <urlin2u> diamonds, no idea I don't have a Iphone you will have to research a bit I suspect. :D
[19:32] <dluzius> I'm running it on the built-in rechargeable battery
[19:33] <lolalololabot> dluzius: right click on the top panel and 'add to panel'
[19:33] <dmsdms> escott: thanks, how to i unmount it as soon as possible?
[19:33] <escott> dmsdms, open a terminal and umount
[19:33] <diamonds> .mov... fuggin apple
[19:34] <dmsdms> ta
[19:34] <diamonds> quicktime is the devil
[19:34] <dluzius> when I right click on top panel, I don't get anything saying add to panel
[19:34] <lolalololabot> dluzius: what version of ubuntu are you running
[19:35] <Boontoo> escott: this thing has been going for a while...how long should it take to install gdisk?
[19:35] <dluzius> 11.10
[19:36] <miadbahrami> dluzius, in ubuntu 11.10 GUI  is unity
[19:36] <lolalololabot> dluzius: read this ... http://customizemania.com/articles/article-how-to-tame-ubuntu-11-10/
[19:36] <seanh> Hey, I'm getting no sound when I plug in my earphones (there is sound without earphones). ubuntu lucid. Any ideas?
[19:36] <dluzius> ok,tks
[19:36] <escott> Boontoo, just a couple seconds. what is it doing?
[19:37] <Boontoo> it has been unpacking gdisk for like 10min
[19:37] <escott> Boontoo, if your system has very little free ram that could be a problem
[19:38] <Boontoo> I was setup for RT audio, but I have 8g
[19:38] <Boontoo> I should be fine
[19:39] <Boontoo> escott: it is totally locked up
[19:39] <escott> Boontoo, im not sure what to do then. I've never had trouble installing gdisk to RAM inside a livecd. is the livecd locked up?
[19:39] <iceroot> how to change the fontsize in tty?
[19:40] <urlin2u> dluzius, this a upgrade or fresh install?
[19:40] <Boontoo> escott: I got the shell back, I will try again
[19:41] <Boontoo> escott: no go, the other process is still using dpkg trying to install gdisk. It is going super slow. maybe I should eat lunch in the meantime
[19:41] <seanh> Ah, found the answer here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook2-1/Lucid/
[19:41] <diamonds> I already installed the medibuntu non-free codecs package....
[19:41] <seanh> thanks
[19:41] <diamonds> not sure why it's not handling a .mov
[19:42] <escott> Boontoo, that doesn't make sense it should be faster. everything is in ram. honestly i think you could just take the executable out of the deb and drop it into /usr/bin
[19:42] <spot_> grub> find /boot/grub/stage1  Error 15: File not found
[19:42] <spot_> can someone help me to install grub ? i have lots of problems with it and i can't find a solution
[19:42] <escott> spot_, i think grub stage 1 means you are running grub 1 and not grub 1.99 AKA grub 2. that could be a problem
[19:43] <spot_> how can i set what grub should run?
[19:44] <raptor67682> hello world
[19:44] <escott> spot_, I would go through the instructions on reinstalling grub
[19:44] <escott> !grub | spot_
[19:44] <escott> spot_, and ask questions if you have any during that process
[19:44] <diamonds> Medibuntu's repository is deactivated by upgrading to a newer Ubuntu release, so you should run this command again after the release upgrade.
[19:44] <diamonds> a-fucking-ha
[19:44] <urlin2u> spot_, younshould join the Ubuntu forums there is great helpt here on dual booting, join up and ruun that bootscript agian post it and you will be helped.
[19:44] <diamonds> >:(
[19:44] <Boontoo> escott: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable
[19:44] <Tm_T> diamonds: language...
[19:44] <diamonds> sorry
[19:45] <Boontoo> escott: then it continues with the unpacking
[19:45] <diamonds> why in the name of pete doesn't Ubuntu give you a flopping heads-up when it deactivates a bunch of codecs??
[19:45] <diamonds> it already broke my touchpad on update...
[19:46] <diamonds> I feel sometimes like the Ubuntu core team dgaf about the average user's experience
[19:46] <Boontoo> diamonds: yeah, me too...but it's not like they get paid. I mean they are building to fit the average user
[19:46] <urlin2u> diamonds, it does,you have to know where, unless ypur using the dreaded software center synaptic or the terminal does.
[19:46] <diamonds> Boontoo: fair enough on the first point, don't see eye to eye on the second
[19:47] <Boontoo> diamonds: I can't use the newer versions because I have a specific setup for recording studio equipment
[19:47] <diamonds> urlin2u: what?  I updated using the "ubuntu wants to update" dialog
[19:47] <diamonds> "so you should run this command again after the release upgrade. " < I mean, is this a ###ing joke?
[19:47] <diamonds> why not just poke a stick in my eye when I install ubuntu
[19:47] <Boontoo> diamonds: but if I were using a generic laptop without all sorts of specific configs, it usually works fine for me
[19:48] <urlin2u> diamonds, generally it tells you or you can watch the terminal for stuff being removed the terminal does for sure.
[19:48] <diamonds> is there some legal reason ubuntu can't preserve my old settings?
[19:48] <globee> Ubuntu has made it ultra easy for me to use Linux, so major kudo to the team
[19:48] <Boontoo> diamonds: you can always freeze your version, so as not to update except for security
[19:48] <diamonds> Boontoo: that's a not-very-good workaround imo :/
[19:48] <Boontoo> diamonds: that should save most of your old codecs, provided you dodge the dist-upgrade
[19:49] <diamonds> urlin2u: I'd like a button at the end that says "Click to reenable your non-free stuff we disabled"
[19:49] <Boontoo> diamonds: *shrug* I dunno then
[19:49] <diamonds> yeah... well thanks for talking to me about it anyway!
[19:49] <diamonds> just my $.02
[19:50] <Boontoo> diamonds: oh yeah, I understand...right now I am staring at an inoperable shell
[19:50] <Boontoo> wheeee
[19:50] <escott> diamonds, thats a support nightmare. all the workarounds for bugs in the old version get reenabled and do god knows what in the new version
[19:50] <rocket16> How may I restore Ubuntu 11.10's unity 3d to default settings?
[19:50] <urlin2u> diamonds, hehe sure but it is a matter of using the OS long enough to understand how it works, wishes are for love .
[19:51] <diamonds> I REALLY want to see a *good*, easy to use, win/mac alternative OS, that's why I complain :) If I didn't care about it I'd just reinstall XP
[19:51] <Boontoo> urlin2u: so, do you just resolve yourself to accept system crashes?
[19:51] <urlin2u> Boontoo, I'm a exsperienced user that never happens.
[19:51] <Boontoo> urlin2u: but how long does that take?
[19:52] <diamonds> urlin2u: yeah... I think "there are a TON of quirks, you just have to learn to remember the series of steps to bring your computer back to how it was after an update, or just don't update at all" is *not* a good solution
[19:52] <escott> Boontoo, im sorry i dont know what is going on with this package, but you can probably skip using apt/dpkg and just extract the binary directly to /sbin, and look at the manual online
[19:52] <Boontoo> urlin2u: I have run variations of ubuntu and debian for 6 yrs
[19:52] <diamonds> it qualifies as "it'll do for now..." but you can't call it "good"
[19:52] <urlin2u> Boontoo, I have using Ubuntu and open source about 4 years never used windows before that took me about a year to figure it out.
[19:52] <diamonds> I mean, UI differences, I agree you just have to give it time
[19:52] <spot_> i think i will buy new pc because ubuntu have broken this one , i'm tring from 3  days to fix a stupid ****
[19:53] <Boontoo> urlin2u: yeah, I mean when it works...I love it. But I CONSTANTLY have system crashes. Even with different distros
[19:53] <diamonds> but for "break a bunch of stuff on OS update," that's not something I plan on ever "getting used to"
[19:53] <diamonds> I assume it's a problem that will improve in time
[19:53] <ProxXy> Is it possible to install windows from ubuntu. By that i mean using the windows installation disc and running it FROM ubuntu, rather than installing it from fresh?
[19:53] <diamonds> thanks for the pointer! I think reinstalling medibuntu will fix it, I'll let you know
[19:53] <Boontoo> urlin2u: this is the 2nd time I have lost read/write privileges on my machine during operation and then on restart it fails to boot
[19:54] <Boontoo> urlin2u: on a FRESH install
[19:54] <Boontoo> ugh
[19:54] <escott> ProxXy, no. you could install to a vm, but you would have to run it out of a vm as well
[19:54] <Boontoo> escott: I cannt cancel the original process
[19:54] <diamonds> I DO like how it recognized my media keys (vol+/- pause etc.) out of the box, that was pretty impressive.
[19:54] <urlin2u> Boontoo, hard to say why could be hardware or technique, really what you learn is what not to do as well as correct technique.
[19:54] <spot_> why ubuntu 2 instaletion stopped at Processing triggers for man-db ... Setting up grub-pc (1.98-1ubuntu12) ...  ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ ?
[19:54] <mkanyicy> ProxXy, use virtualbox
[19:54] <Jordan_U> spot_: You're trying to use steps that would restore grub legacy. Ubuntu uses grub2. If you want to re-install grub2 see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#ChRoot
[19:54] <Boontoo> escott: plus, how do I extract the binary...if I can't dl it?
[19:54] <escott> Boontoo, you could just reboot and try again. not sure what is going on with the livecd
[19:55] <Boontoo> urlin2u: I have definitely made progress over time
[19:55] <Boontoo> urlin2u: but jeeez, I have lost maybe 10hrs of recorded music in the last 2 yrs
[19:55] <ProxXy> escott: vm?
[19:55] <Boontoo> escott: will do
[19:55] <escott> Boontoo, dpkg-deb -x gdisk-whatever.deb / ?
[19:56] <escott> Boontoo, it would just bypass the whole package archive which on a livecd you dont care about
[19:56] <Boontoo> escott: I am waiting for restart...also extremely slow. Time to manually kill it
[19:56] <urlin2u> Boontoo, always make copies of your stuff you can't loose, and clone the OS when it is working.
[19:56] <escott> ProxXy, virtual machine, runs inside another operating system
[19:56] <user> ubuntu server with gnome or ubuntu desktop with server
[19:56] <Boontoo> urlin2u: I ran a RAID 5, everything was automated backup
[19:57] <Boontoo> urlin2u: worked great
[19:57] <urlin2u> Boontoo, until it breaks.
[19:57] <Boontoo> urlin2u: yep
[19:57] <diamonds> aaargh! it didn't work :(
[19:57] <urlin2u> Boontoo, gotta go good luck .:D
[19:57] <diamonds> maybe it's not importing properly
[19:57] <Boontoo> urlin2u: thanks
[19:59] <ubutnu> someone knows of an encrypting messenger?i know of otr but isnt there a messenger like psst?im using 10.04 and the messenger should also be avail on windrows
[19:59] <ubutnu> psst uses python2.2 and its not avail on 10.04
[20:00] <dluzius> what does he mean by   the Gnome Classic option from the LightDM options.
[20:01] <ProxXy> hrm i see
[20:01] <ProxXy> Why is it so problematic to install windows in a eeepc =.
[20:01] <ProxXy> =/
[20:01] <pangolin> ask ##windows
[20:02] <dluzius> hey there.....lolalolaabot
[20:03] <ubutnu> noone an idea?
[20:04] <dluzius> can anyone nelp me get and display a battery indicator in ocelot
[20:05] <hughissuper> can a program running under WINE communicate with an eReader? (as in calibre, I know it's for linux but I'm trying to get it to communicate with something)
[20:05] <diamonds> `tree` isn't installed  by default?
[20:05] <tkruise> dluzius,  install docky
[20:05] <Boontoo> escott: alright, so everytime I boot the livecd it crashes and I have to drop to a shell
[20:05] <tkruise> :\
[20:05] <tzvi-_> rfkill list is giving me phy0 Wireless LAN HARD BLOCKED YES<< any ideas?
[20:06] <meoblast001> hi
[20:06] <meoblast001> i've been on Kubuntu for a while and i'm back on Ubuntu 11.10
[20:06] <escott> Boontoo, i would check dmesg and see if something is going on with your hardware. but you should be able to install gdisk from the shell
[20:06] <Boontoo> escott: so now that I am in the shell, I have already attempted apt-get install gdisk and my comp locks up
[20:06] <escott> Boontoo, what version of a livecd is this
[20:06] <meoblast001> how do i disable effects?
[20:06] <Boontoo> escott: 10.04.3
[20:06] <Besogon> tzvi-_, use windows to unblock it... may be
[20:06] <meoblast001> i looked it up, but everything just says "same place as they were in 11.04", which i did not use
[20:06] <Boontoo> escott: it's old, but I am running 10.10
[20:06] <tzvi-_> Besogon how so ?
[20:07] <escott> Boontoo, amd64 or i386
[20:07] <Boontoo> escott: i386
[20:07] <diamonds> ok going to try importing again with the medibuntu packages reenabled
[20:07] <_TheHermit> This might be an awkward question but... how come people smart (and\or old) enough to use IRC have seemingly petty issues with the most user-friendly linux distro^
[20:08] <Besogon> tzvi-_, boot windows, Install proprietary drivers, open Wireless tool and turn it on. Then you can use the device with linux
[20:08] <Jordan_U> !ot | _TheHermit
[20:08] <tzvi-_> Besogon thanks
[20:09] <meoblast001> my friend told me i have to log out and log in to "unity 2d"
[20:09] <meoblast001> is this true?
[20:09] <Boontoo> escott: dmesg has a ton of logical block errors
[20:10] <escott> Boontoo, sounds like the disk is in trouble
[20:10] <diamonds> f. it I guess I don't need to look at the videos on my phone anyway
[20:10] <Boontoo> yeah, but it isn't even a year old. I have gone through 5 hds!!!
[20:11] <escott> Boontoo, what may be happening is: (a) you have a bad disk (b) the dos partition table is being corrupted (c) its looking for a partition table and finding a valid backup gpt partition at the end of the desk
[20:11] <diamonds> I'll just wait 'til I get to a windows box, I suppose, as I don't have another hour to spend trying to twist ubuntu's arm hard enough to make it show me my videos
[20:11] <piero> Hi! I'm installing just the command line system from 11.10 alternate install and, after a dist-upgrade, I want to install a gnome3 system. But since I have not a 3d compatible video adapter I'll use the "2d rescue mode" as default. Can you tell my which packages I should install? Do I have to isntall gnome-shell, since I will not use it? (or the 2d safe mode are in gnome-shell package too?)
[20:11] <escott> Boontoo, that could explain the sudden switch to gpt as well as the switch to ro mode
[20:12] <Boontoo> escott: does ext4 write that GPT backup if it detects failure?
[20:12] <escott> Boontoo, make sure the disks are not being exposed to vibration and or high temperature
[20:12] <Boontoo> escott: I mean, this happened last week too
[20:12] <NickValentine> Hey all...can anyone please tell me how to import a "public key"
[20:12] <Boontoo> escott: I will open it up and look, but there are a ton of fans
[20:12] <escott> Boontoo, no GPT is a different partition scheme from dos. at this point mostly used by macs, but required for disks >3TB
[20:13] <escott> Boontoo, its possible to have dos and GPT on the same drive but some older tools when partitioning with dos scheme will not notice (because they dont understand) a GPT partition and won't erase the backup GPT partition
[20:13] <escott> Boontoo, thats why people should not be using fdisk these days
[20:14] <DarkG> Love the new ubuntu guys, good work <3
[20:14] <DarkG> lo

[20:14] <rocket16> Hey guys, when I maximize a minimized window, I get this error: http://imagebin.org/182827 the upper portion of the window remains hidden under taskbar. Please help. :/
[20:14] <Tetsuo55> hello, is ubuntu working on any kind of parental controls ? with 11.10 the existing apps no longer work and some or all of them are no longer being developed

[20:15] <DarkG> o,o
[20:15] <escott> rocket, press the alt key and click on the window to drag it back down
[20:15] <NickValentine> sorry
[20:15] <escott> rocket16, ^^^
[20:16] <rocket16> escott: Many thanks, that works. But isn't it possible to prevent the happening altogether? :)
[20:16] <rocket16> escott: I mean, fixing some setting or something like that
[20:16] <darkf34r> hi people!
[20:16] <escott> Boontoo, in any case if the hardware is going south fixing the partition table won't help much. you probably just want to dd the disk out and try to rescue the image file.
[20:16] <jmknsd> my menu bars have disappeared, I can no longer minimize/maximize windows?
[20:17] <Boontoo> escott: *sigh*
[20:17] <rocket16> Also, if I click on the titlebar of the window, thinks get normal again. But doing so everytime is troublesome
[20:18] <escott> NickValentine, you can check keyserver.ubuntu.com for those keys and download them and then import them with apt-key
[20:18] <rocket16> Is it possible to reset Unity 3D's settings to default?
[20:18] <diamonds> any guess why shotwell can see/import from my iphone but the file browser cannot?
[20:18] <diamonds> nautilus
[20:18] <escott> diamonds, because it isnt a usb mass storage device
[20:18] <rocket16> (Assuming that resetting might help fix the problem)
[20:18] <jmknsd> is there a  way to get my titlabars back without rebooting?
[20:18] <diamonds> escott: what method is shotwell using to access files on it?
[20:18] <diamonds> camera something?
[20:18] <Jordan_U> rocket16: unity --reset
[20:19] <escott> diamonds, some apple non-standard junk presumably. same protocol as itunes probably
[20:19] <Jordan_U> diamonds: Because iPhones don't expose themselves as USB Mass Storage devices but instead use their own proprietary protocal.
[20:19] <diamonds> Jordan_U: do you know of a package that allows nautilus to explore the iphone?
[20:20] <rocket16> Jordan_U: Wow! Much appreciated, really many, many thanks. That solves my problem. :)
[20:20] <Jordan_U> diamonds: No, I don't.
[20:20] <diamonds> Shotwell can do it so obviously my computer already has the capability on it
[20:20] <diamonds> ok
[20:20] <Jordan_U> rocket16: You're welcome :)
[20:20] <NickValentine> escott: I tried pasting my key string...or wht I think is my key stirng in..an it says "Erroe handling request:Request hash not found"
[20:21] <rocket16> Thanks guys, and thanks again Jordan_U, my problem is solved. See you all soon, as it's quite late here.
[20:21] <escott> NickValentine, did you start with 0x?
[20:21] <NickValentine> escott: Error handling request. Exception raised: Failure("char out of range for hex conversion")
[20:22] <piero> Existe o Kubuntu, o Xubuntu.. mas existe uma release com o gnome3 por padr├Żo?
[20:22] <user> what is the command to restart ubuntu server
[20:22] <piero> user, shutdown -r now
[20:22] <xangua> piero: ubuntu oneiric comes with gnome 3.2
[20:22] <jmknsd> the border and top bar for all of my non-maximized windows is gone, and I can't move or resize them.
[20:23] <rvalles> hi. Was reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/Netboot and got to "If you have an installation CD" "Insert the installation CD in the drive" "Copy the netboot files into a suitable directory, e.g. /var/lib/tftpboot". This is 11.10 x86 32bit. Just where are these netboot files in the CD?
[20:23] <escott> diamonds, the pictures are inside the phone. use a hammer ;) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Guwvwp0uSU8 either that or complain to apple
[20:23] <glioros> i need to find the body tags of my template. what is the grep command to do so ?
[20:24] <escott> NickValentine, not sure what you are typing in to keyserver it should be 0x40976EAF437D05B5
[20:24] <systemclient> I have a Razer Diamondback which has 7 buttons. Kubuntu recognizes them all, but uses them to scroll or so. How can I use them for KWin commands or such?
[20:24] <NickValentine> escott: I typed in 0x40976EAF437D05B5
[20:24] <escott> glioros, grep -i "<body" you might need to escape the "<" with a "\<"
[20:25] <escott> NickValentine, http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371/pks/lookup?search=0x40976EAF437D05B5&op=vindex
[20:25] <NickValentine> escot: ok..wow just through out a lot of keys....do I download al of them?
[20:25] <Boontoo> escott: so, I am pulling all my hds right now, should I just check them with fsck?
[20:25] <glioros> escott not working
[20:26] <escott> NickValentine, thats what I would do. supposedly apt-key is able to query the keyserver, but i've never gotten it to work
[20:26] <escott> Boontoo, yes. and check the smart status
[20:26] <escott> glioros, provide a sample of what you are expecting to match
[20:27] <glioros> escott using this command the putty crashes
[20:27] <escott> NickValentine, and no you dont want all the keys on that page, you just want the ubuntu key
[20:27] <glioros> last time i used a different command in which i am not remember and it worked
[20:27] <diamonds> huh... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1416507
[20:27] <escott> NickValentine, sorry didnt realize that was the question
[20:27] <NickValentine> escott: ok...mind walking me through the downloading an installing it plz
[20:27] <diamonds> it looks like nautilus and iphone USED TO play nice
[20:28] <diamonds> well, just another reason to jailbreak this stupid phone
[20:29] <glioros> so?
[20:29] <escott> NickValentine, so the link at the top and the one that says selfsig will take you to: http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x40976EAF437D05B5 thats the real ascii armored key
[20:29] <iceroot> diamonds: why buy a phone when you have to jailbreak it.... buy a phone which doesnt need a jailbreak....
[20:30] <brandel> anyone managed to get unity2d and xmonad playing nicely together? half the time the unity launcher does not appear when I mouse over to the left :/
[20:30] <arunkumar4131> hi, i've installed gnome shell in 11.10 but the screen recording feature is not working
[20:30] <escott> NickValentine, so save the part that starts with ----BEGIN and ---END including the ---BEGIN/END lines to a file and then apt-key add filename
[20:30] <NickValentine> escott: you are my saviour...!!....ummmm.....hw do I actually install this key?
[20:30] <glioros> so how to use grep ?
[20:30] <tomodachi> glioros: well how do you want to use it?
[20:30] <NickValentine> escott: oh ok..:) thank you!
[20:30] <usr13_> glioros: man grep
[20:30] <escott> NickValentine, I'm sure there is an easier way (and with anything key related you should be careful that you are getting a valid key and I'm not trying to get you to accept invalid keys)
[20:31] <rhizmoe> is there a way to get mahjongg to save its window size?
[20:31] <diamonds> iceroot: like what?
[20:31] <jmknsd> aww, unity --reset fixed it, but now I have to resetup everything
[20:31] <diamonds> iceroot: not android, those have to be rooted as well ;)
[20:31] <diamonds> iceroot: so if you know some free-open phone system, I'd love to learn abou tit
[20:31] <escott> glioros, grep -flags pattern file which isn't very helpful as all the hard work is figuring out the right pattern and flags
[20:32] <jakubo> hi, is there a way to get my webcam working with skyoe again?
[20:32] <diamonds> shotwell... I deleted the .mov files and tried to reimport, but it thinks they are still there
[20:32] <NickValentine> escott: I just copy pasted into terminal
[20:32] <diamonds> how do  I update/rescan shotwells "library"/db so it realizes those files don't exist anymore?
[20:32] <iceroot> diamonds: ubuntu is trying to put it on tablet/smartphones with 14.04. so i think a real GNU/Linux would be nice but at the moment....
[20:33] <piero> xangua, yes.. but gnome isn't configured and user friendly in oneiric default installation
[20:33] <escott> NickValentine, copied and pasted the key?
[20:33] <NickValentine> escot: yea
[20:33] <piero> xangua, and I mean gnome vanilla like desktop environment.
[20:33] <diamonds> iceroot: "at the moment..." hmm?
[20:34]  * PR0PER slaps 13WAAQ1YM around a bit with a large trout
[20:34] <escott> NickValentine, well the terminal doesn't know what to do with that ascii armored key. you need to open a text editor and save that key to a file ubuntu_key.pub, and then run apt-key add /path/to/ubuntu_key.pub
[20:37] <jakubo> skype with v4l1 hardware anyone?
[20:37] <xangua> !skype | jakubo
[20:38] <xangua> mmm what was the factoid to the camera in skype┬┐
[20:38] <n000b> try UVC hw
[20:39] <jakubo> there needs to be some compatibility code, which seems to have been removed from oneiric, thats why im here
[20:39] <jakubo> mode*
[20:40] <asr> anyone know of a good diary app that can be used across ubuntu and android ?
[20:41] <NickValentine> escott: ok..I did that...and the file is on my desktop...and its showing "manage apt's list of trusted keys" then a whole load of commands to do with keys
[20:43] <escott> Nick001, so apt-key add /home/username/Desktop/ubuntu_key.pub
[20:43] <escott> NickValentine, ^^
[20:43] <Soul_Sample> can I somehow automount a ntfs partition only for my account? if I add it to fstab it is accessible even to the guest session
[20:44] <costre> you could encrypt it
[20:44] <escott> Soul_Sample, add it to fstab but set the permissions such that only you can access the folder
[20:44] <andrew_> hi, i want to sync my iphone 3gs with my computer. how do i proceed?
[20:45] <jakubo> LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so /usr/bin/skype "$@"
[20:45] <jakubo> ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.
[20:45] <NickValentine> escott: after all that all terminal has to say..is ok....lol..thank you so so so much!
[20:45] <Soul_Sample> escott, you mean simply change permissions like for any other folder or in fstab?
[20:45] <Guest99743> hi, i want to sync my iphone 3gs with my computer. how do i proceed?
[20:45] <xangua> Guest99743: if you have lates ubuntu oneiric enable proposed and backport updates to see it there is a libimoviledevice update
[20:46] <jen_> how do I get a mupen joystick for the n64 emulator?
[20:47] <jen_> i have the games and everything but idk how to play it?
[20:48] <Boontoo> escott: so, if I don't know what fs type there is...how do I fsck?
[20:48] <jen_> anyone know? anyone at all? :3
[20:49] <Boontoo> jen_: you don't know how to what?
[20:49] <diamonds> I think I'll create a new partition and dual boot to xp for iphone
[20:49] <Boontoo> jen_: use your joystick?
[20:49] <jen_> idk how to control my game emulator, how do i get a joystick or something for the mupen n64 emulator?
[20:49] <jen_> yes
[20:50] <xangua> diamonds: iOS 5┬┐  tried  to enable proposed and backport updates to see it there is a libimoviledevice update
[20:50] <jen_> Boontoo, yes
[20:50] <jen_> Boontoo, i dont know how to get one or use my keyboard for the game
[20:51] <Boontoo> jen_: is it listed under your devices in /dev?
[20:51] <jen_> open a term and type /dev?
[20:51] <fellayaboy> how can i access a windows network workgroup folder from the terminal... i can access it from gui]
[20:51] <escott> Boontoo, you can usually fsck without knowing the type. usually fsck wrapper can figure out the correct fsck.??? to call
[20:52] <escott> Soul_Sample, change the permissions on the mount point yes
[20:52] <Boontoo> escott: so sudo fsck /dev/sda?
[20:52] <Lehthanis> Anyone know anything about nvidia drivers and old monitors?
[20:52] <Boontoo> escott: because I wiped the disk...so nothing should be on it
[20:52] <steeve> #italia
[20:52] <gape> Hello, sorry to bother,  but is there a way to see what command does clicking in dash do?
[20:52] <escott> Boontoo, well it would need a partition number. and the problem with fsck is "do you have a valid partition table"
[20:52] <Boontoo> jen_: there are no partitions...this is a new disk
[20:52] <fellayaboy> is it possible to access windows network from gui
[20:53] <Boontoo> jen_: sorry
[20:53] <escott> Boontoo, and your suggestion that it spontaneously switched to gpt tells me you dont have a valid partition table
[20:53] <jen_> Boontoo,  what?
[20:53] <gape> I can't right click icons, as for some reason that opens the application the same way as left clicking does (I do believe that should be disabled, but oh well)
[20:53] <Boontoo> escott: I pulled all my disks, and I am checking them one by one, I want to check the new disk before I install anything on it
[20:53] <escott> fellayaboy, you can add a CIFS line to your fstab and mount samba shares that way
[20:53] <jen_> does ANYONE just know how to control a game through a game emulator? I have yoshi's story right now and it works fine, I just dont know how to control it thats all
[20:54] <Boontoo> escott: I have the GPT one on my desk, but can I fsck this new one if it has no fs or partitions? I assume not
[20:54] <escott> Boontoo, if it is an empty disk the only thing to check it with is smartmon-tools
[20:54] <Boontoo> escott: okay, cool
[20:54] <escott> Boontoo, unless you are worried that it might have at some point had a gpt partition and you intend to partition it as dos (or vice versa) in which case you need to use gdisk
[20:54] <fellayaboy> thank u
[20:54] <Somelauw> I am very lazy. Does evince have an option that will automatically scroll. I know in firefox, I can use the middle mouse button for that.
[20:55] <Somelauw> I need to learn for a prelim
[20:55] <Somelauw> And it is an ebook
[20:55] <Boontoo> I have never put a GPT partition on anything...they just appear on this one disk
[20:55] <xangua> Somelauw: Pg Up/Down
[20:56] <escott> Boontoo, if its a fresh from the factory disk it should be clean. i it was in a mac or >2TB it may be gpt
[20:56] <xangua> ooh ebook...
[20:56] <fellayaboy> any programs that can let you continue the transfer of files via network if the connection gets lost?
[20:56] <MeQuerSat> Why isnt it possible to install ubuntu with uefi?
[20:56] <Boontoo> it was a 2TB
[20:56] <escott> fellayaboy, individual files not so much, but for many files use rsync
[20:56] <vaxisxcs> unity went back into 2d mode im guessing because this computer is a netbook, but it did run 3d for a long time, anyway to put it back? obviously it CAN run it because it has for like the past 4 months
[20:56] <fellayaboy> ok thanks
[20:57] <Somelauw> xangua: I am more looking for something that very slowly scrolls the page one line a second or something.
[20:57] <Lehthanis> What would cause an old monitor (1024x768 max) to be offset a bit both vertically and horizontally?  my mouse cursor isn't quite lined up, and I have to click about 10 pixels higher to hit the spot I'm looking for?
[20:57] <escott> Boontoo, so 2TB is in the middle area between dos and gpt. could go either way. dos can support 2TB, but its so big and new that many tools might elect to use GPT on a disk that large
[20:57] <escott> Lehthanis, modelines
[20:57] <Lehthanis> Its an old NEC multisync, and an old nvidia card
[20:58] <MeQuerSat> Why isnt it possible to install ubuntu with uefi?
[20:58] <hughissuper_> i installed the banshee repository, but it won't show any updates. I know there's an update, why is synaptic being dumb?
[20:58] <escott> MeQuerSat, it is possible. what problem are you having
[20:58] <MeQuerSat> blinking underscore
[20:58] <Lehthanis> escott...nice quick answer, I'll google that, thanks!
[20:58] <MeQuerSat> thats all I get escott
[20:59] <edbian> I have an annoying bug in which the unity bar does not pop out when I have any other window open
[20:59] <xangua> hughissuper_: how did you add the repsootirory┬┐ already run apt-get update && upgrade┬┐ what ubuntu version┬┐
[20:59] <Boontoo> escott: ah...weird, but why would I suddenly lose read/write privileges in / partition? It reverts to GPT? I used shred command on this disk before re-partitioning, it should be totally clean
[20:59] <MeQuerSat> escott, and if I clear CMOS (failed OC for instance) I cant boot at all
[20:59] <escott> MeQuerSat, sounds like you didnt install the bootloader correctly. what bootloader is installed and where
[20:59] <KrazyKrivda> My internal HD is partitioned, and I"m transfer 4 GB from 1 partition to the other.. why is it so slow (Time remaining > 3hrs)
[21:00] <MeQuerSat> escott, grub2 and I did install it
[21:00] <hughissuper_> xangua i added it through sudo add-apt-repository ppa:banshee-team/ppa
[21:00] <hughissuper_> xangua, Ocelot.
[21:00] <MeQuerSat> this uefi is a p.i.t.a.
[21:01] <MeQuerSat> escott, see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1753717 for example
[21:01] <escott> Boontoo, (a) the disk was gpt at some time (b) it was then repartitioned to dos by fdisk (c) fdisk did no remove the backup gpt partition (d) the disk is failing (e) the kernel notices the disk is failing, and remounts the partition as ro (f) the gparted/parted tools look at the disk and see a corrupt mbr and NOT finding a dos partition table look for a backup gpt partition at the end of the disk and find the old one
[21:01] <KrazyKrivda> Can anyone tell me how to speed up my file transfer speed from partition to partition on my computer?  Current speed is only 355 KB/sec
[21:01] <MeQuerSat> Im not the only one :/
[21:02] <xangua> hughissuper_: well looks like the stable reposotiry has the same version that comes in ubuntu repository
[21:02] <xangua> !info banshee | hughissuper
[21:02] <MeQuerSat> KrazyKrivda, cancel, reboot and try again
[21:02] <hughissuper_> xangua, I typed sudo apt-get update && upgrade and it said upgrade:  command not found
[21:02] <KrazyKrivda> MeQuerSat: this seems to be a regular occurence.. even after reboots
[21:02] <hughissuper_> xangua should i install unstable ppa
[21:03] <MeQuerSat> KrazyKrivda, 355 kb/s is very low
[21:03] <MeQuerSat> how high is your cpu/memory usage during copy ?
[21:03] <KrazyKrivda> MeQuerSat:  I am aware.. hence asking for some information on how to fix it.
[21:03] <KrazyKrivda> :-)
[21:03] <escott> MeQuerSat, so grub2 is probably the wrong choice, you need one of the efi bootloaders and you need to put it into the efi partition in some special way
[21:03] <jypssu> how  come i don't see but a grey screen when i connect to my vncserver through ssvnc? whats th trick to actually have something visible to wokr with?
[21:04] <MeQuerSat> escott, which one do I need and how do I put it there?
 encrypted drive??
[21:04] <Lehthanis> Ok, another question.  I've got an external hard drive that has a bunch of duplicate files spread all over...is there a command or series of commands (or even a script) that can find all the duplicates and list them by location?
[21:04] <xangua> hughissuper_: don't know, that is uo to you if you want to try 'unstable' versions
[21:05] <KrazyKrivda> chaos_: no.. but I believe it is NTFS to FAT32
[21:05] <escott> MeQuerSat, there is a grub efi project as well as refit and a few others. some uefi systems can support bios fallback boots and you can use normal grub. i'm not familiar with all the different kinds as I don't have an efi machine
[21:05] <MeQuerSat> Lehthanis, I know a tool for windows that does that
[21:05] <hughissuper_> xangua i mean if i want to install 2.3.1
[21:05] <escott> KrazyKrivda, NTFS driver is a userspace driver so that will make things slower
[21:06] <Lehthanis> whats it called? MeQuerSat
[21:06] <MeQuerSat> auslogics duplicate file finder
[21:06] <jypssu> does some vnc clients not allow me to see worthwhile things
[21:06] <escott> MeQuerSat, have you looked at this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFIBooting
[21:06] <jypssu> whats the piont of transmitting 1024.768 if all i see is grey
[21:06] <jypssu> i dont' even see a console
[21:07] <Lehthanis> is there a way to do it in linux?
[21:07] <Math^> hey guys, how can I convert a mkv file to xvid with let's say converting from 1080p to 480p using mencoder?
[21:07] <Lehthanis> look for duplicates I mean
[21:07]  * BluesKaj is back.
[21:08] <KrazyKrivda> escott: i miss-spoke.. it looks liek it is actually ext4 > FAT32
[21:08] <MeQuerSat> KrazyKrivda,  :how high is your cpu/memory usage during copy ?
[21:09] <osrec> Hi, I have a question regarding firefox7. I had been using 3.6 but it seemed to be leaking (a lot of) memory so I tried to upgrade to 7. I downloaded the tar.bz2 available from the firefox website and extracted it to ~/Applications/firefox (it is a folder I use to keep my apps in). For some reason as soon as I ran the firefox-bin executable from that location, the upgrade seems to have...
[21:09] <osrec> ...happened automatically... I mean, all my icons, when clicked now load up the new version of firefox. I am not sure how this happened since I had been working with the original installation of firefox on lucid... Also, my $PATH is "/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games". Can anyone offer me an explanation? Thanks
[21:09] <KrazyKrivda> i'm usuing less then 25% of total CPU atm
[21:09] <Jonii> Hey, how do I change default programs for different files?
[21:09] <osrec> sorry for the big post
[21:10] <KrazyKrivda> MeQuerSat: sry, less than 25% CPU usage atm
[21:10] <Jonii> There was this System settings -> System info -> Default programs -path where settings don't seem to have any effect whatsoever
[21:11] <Jonii> So I'm guessing I'm supposed to look elsewhere, but I can't think of where. Google gives unusually many unrelated hits, too :|
[21:12] <guntbert> osrec: a possible explanation: FF7 might have altered your nautilus config files to insert itself (with complete path of course)

[21:16] <osrec> guntbert: if you read the last paragraph at http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Installing%20Firefox%20on%20Linux - I would expect that only the old version would open up each time!
[21:18] <diamonds> what's gvfs-afc-volume ?
[21:18] <diamonds> it's taking up tons of resources
[21:19] <Lehthanis> What's a good way to get packages (codecs specifically) from a machine that's on the net to a machine that's offline only?  I am familiar with the software center, but that's about it.
[21:19] <xangua> !aptoncd | Lehthanis

[21:24] <conntrack> need to fix the port scans
[21:25] <guntbert> osrec: I don't know the config file, sorry, but try to right click on such a file and select "open with..."  - look what is offered there
[21:25] <osrec> guntbert: right click on which file?
[21:26] <guntbert> osrec: on the file that opens with FF7
[21:28] <guntbert> osrec: another thing to try: open system settings/system info/default applications
[21:29] <osrec> guntbert: im on 10.04 - is there another location to see default apps
[21:30] <Jonii> Hey, how do you change default programs which open the files when you click them in nautilus?
[21:30] <guntbert> osrec: let me look
[21:30] <guntbert> Jonii: open system settings/system info/default applications
[21:30] <osrec> I see it as "Preferred Applications"
[21:31] <osrec> the command for web apps is simply firefox %s
[21:31] <Jonii> guntbert: it seems to only offer 5 or 6 file categories, and when I tried to change what I wanted(video files to vlc), it didn't work
[21:31] <Jonii> Also, there's nothing I can do there to make it open .org-files in emacs
[21:31] <osrec> guntbert: thanks - I'll try and investigate this further. I am happy with the result, but I am just surprised by it! If I do find out why this happened, I'll submit it to the forums in case anyone is perplexed by the issue.
[21:31] <jclbrt> damn it... i came here with a question but forgot what it was
[21:31] <jclbrt> lmao
[21:32] <guntbert> osrec: good idea :)
[21:32] <guntbert> Jonii: in nautilus right click on the file, select "open with"...
[21:32] <praveen_> hi
[21:33] <Jonii> guntbert, I tried that do, it didn't have any checkbox that read "set as default", and merely opening it didn't change the default behavior later on
[21:33] <Jordan_U> MeQuerSat: How did you try to install Ubuntu? Were you able to boot the LiveCD / USB at all?

[21:34] <MeQuerSat> and its working
[21:34] <jclbrt> oh now i remember... DNS question lol...  i am currently using ubuntu server as my router (headless mode, but i can ssh into it) and i have two NICs... one that connects out to my comcast modem and the other connects to my internal LAN (which is on a wireless AP with no firewall enabled, all firewall, DHCP, DNS (in theory) are coming from the ubuntu server box)

[21:34] <jclbrt> my problem is that I have my clients working fine in the sense they can get an IP and can access the internet no problem
[21:34] <strange> hello is there a way to revert back to old ubuntu behavior regarding moving a window up, now when you move it up a bit too much it maximizes
[21:35] <hzilla> hi having a small problem. i have some environment variables eg. PATH set in /etc/environment but when i run some commands in rc.local on boot (presumably as root) the commands are logged as not found because i think the PATH is different for that user. How can i get the environment variables available on boot?
[21:35] <strange> i really dislike how ubuntu is moving towards catering to the mentally challenged
[21:35] <jclbrt> but when trying to access other machines on my LAN it cant resolve them by name only by IP
[21:35] <MeQuerSat> Jordan_U, I installed it via usb (ubuntu-server 11.10 amd64)
[21:35] <guntbert> Jonii: it is "open with other application"
[21:35] <Jonii> guntbert: oh, right
[21:35] <histo> hzilla: set them in rc.local then
[21:35] <jclbrt> i'd like to not set my clients with a static IP but i'd like to use DNS
[21:35] <Jonii> Found that
[21:35] <Jordan_U> MeQuerSat: You don't need to do a complete re-install, you can just re-install grub-efi.
[21:35] <histo> jclbrt: you mean use dhcp
[21:35] <jclbrt> huh?
[21:35] <histo> jclbrt: are the other machines windows boxes?
[21:35] <hzilla> histo: would they then be available system wide?
[21:36] <MeQuerSat> Jordan_U, I did not try that just via live-cd
[21:36] <jclbrt> histo: yes
[21:36] <histo> hzilla: i don't know
[21:36] <texaswriter> strange: Ubuntu (main-stay) is catering to a broader base of devices (notably phone and tablet). Also, this is to beat Microsoft to a tablet-style interface (Metro and all).
[21:36] <MeQuerSat> Jordan_U, I booted the server cd and selected rescue and then reinstall grub
[21:36] <histo> jclbrt: you need winbind to resolve by hostname on the linux machine or you have to add the windows boxess by name and ip to /etc/hosts
[21:36] <alexxio> hi, i am wondering if it's better to use open source ati drivers or proprietary ones. what have the best performances?
[21:36] <MeQuerSat> Jordan_U, that didnt help
[21:36] <jclbrt> ohhh  i see
[21:37] <jclbrt> do'h
[21:37] <Jordan_U> MeQuerSat: With EFI, the firmware stores the default bootloader, and grub-install sets itself as the default bootloader. I think that adding the --removable option to grub-install might allow it to be detected after a CMOS reset but I'm not sure. #grub would know better.
[21:37] <texaswriter> strange: If you don't like these changes, Xubuntu is going to result in a similar experience to Gnome 2. Otherwise, Kubuntu, Lubuntu, etc
[21:37] <jclbrt> i cant believe i forgot winbind
[21:37] <jclbrt> i did know about the /etc/hosts file, but i was trying to avoid setting static ips
[21:37] <histo> jclbrt: if you want to use the winbind method you also have to edit /etc/resolv.conf and add wins to the resolve line i believe
[21:37] <strange> texaswriter, i cant disable it not maximizing when i move up?
[21:37] <strange> ? lubuntu
[21:37] <Jordan_U> MeQuerSat: Did you explicitly install grub-efi? If not, then you've likely been using grub-pc via BIOS (which is perfectly fine).
[21:37] <histo> jclbrt: Keep in mind the last time I used winbind I had issues with browsing on that box.
[21:38] <histo> jclbrt: if you just want to network browse them by hostname you just need samba stuff installed
[21:38] <templet> anyone know how to boot up and install oneiric using a Nvidia Quadro fx1400 video card ?
[21:38] <jclbrt> yea i dont want to be able to browse but i'd like to be able to access it directly via name
[21:38] <templet> no video output
[21:38] <MeQuerSat> Jordan_U, I didnt install grub-efi explicitly (the live server cd did it for me)
[21:38] <jclbrt> i dont have that many network devices
[21:39] <jclbrt> tho it does seem from my PS3 it can see my windows server via name
[21:39] <tapir> Hi, how to convert text to uppercase from a srt file
[21:39] <Jordan_U> MeQuerSat: You're sure it installed grub-efi rather than grub-pc?
[21:39] <texaswriter> strange: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lubuntu
[21:39] <jclbrt> oh maybe thats cuz of the media server actually
[21:39] <texaswriter> Also, I don't know of how to disable that window behavior.
[21:39] <jclbrt> thanks for the info histo
[21:39] <MeQuerSat> Jordan_U, Im sure, because I saw the server live cd install grub-efi
[21:39] <jclbrt> i cant believe i didnt think of winbind before
[21:39] <jclbrt> ha
[21:40] <jmknsd> I have a realtek wireless adapter, and it works fine for a few minutes, but degrades quickly and then becomes unusable.  looked on ubuntuforums, and they suggest ugdating to the rtl8192ce driver, which I have installed. Is there a solution to this?
[21:40] <MeQuerSat> Jordan_U, that --removable option could be great for me
[21:40] <MeQuerSat> Jordan_U, I dont like reinstalling every time I clear CMOS :/
[21:41] <Jordan_U> MeQuerSat: Again, confirm that in #grub. Why are you clearing the CMOS so often?
[21:41] <Jonii> Okay, can you change the order in which time and date are displayed on top right?
[21:41] <MeQuerSat> Jordan_U, overclocking
[21:41] <MeQuerSat> I will check in #grub now
[21:41] <Jonii> From "Sun Nov 6 11:41 PM" to 11:41 PM Sun Nov 6"
[21:43] <gape> hello, is there a way to see which command is executed when i click on an icon in launchbar?
[21:43] <strange> right click properties
[21:43] <gape> I can't right click
[21:44] <gape> It opens the application :/
[21:44] <strange> why not
[21:44] <hughissuper_> I need help with a ./configure error
[21:44] <strange> left click opens
[21:44] <hughissuper_> http://pastebin.com/FGR7TNCy
[21:44] <strange> right click doesnt
[21:44] <gape> I thought that is how it's set now, it does annoy me tbh
[21:45] <jclbrt> histo: this might not be the correct place to ask this (but perhaps u know anyways)... are you familiar with IPTables at all?
[21:46] <shubbar> how can i stop keyboard input corrections?
[21:46] <gape> Well on the launcher itself, right click gives me options open/quit and to keep it in launcher
[21:46] <jclbrt> I'd like to be able to set up my ubuntu box to allow me to ssh in to it from a remote location (I.E. outside my WAN) but i'm not exactly sure of the correct way to set up the policy
[21:46] <jclbrt> i imagine it's part of the pre-routing
[21:46] <gape> if i right click on dash or what is it that opens with my windows key, it oppens the application
[21:47] <gape> if there is a way to fix that i'll be very happy to do it
[21:47] <jclbrt> and i only want to accept incoming connections on my ssh port (which is not the standard port 22)
[21:47] <strange> hosts.allow usually does the trick
[21:47] <jclbrt> srry brb.. wife is calling cant leave her waiting

[21:48] <gape> strange: this channel is for ubuntu 11.10 right?
[21:48] <kandinski> I have an application that needs the f-keys normally used by unity. I need to write a script that frees up the f-keys when I call the program, and reconfigures them for the ubuntu desktop when my program ends, any idea how to do that?
[21:48] <strange> i run 11.10 but this channel is for all oh wait i use alt desktop i select classic gnome on login screen
[21:49] <gape> yeah right clicking works on gnome :/
[21:49] <Jonii> Anyone know any good source for resources and information about how to change and tweak Ubuntu 11.10?
[21:50] <strange> you can select that during login screen
[21:50] <Jonii> Like, are there any places where one should head first when you encounter a question of type "I wonder if in Ubuntu you can..."
[21:51] <Qualia> Why can't i close Eclipse with CTRL + Q  ???
[21:52] <jclbrt> is it sad that i havent used ubuntu with a GUI in like ten years
[21:52] <jclbrt> lol
[21:52] <Qualia> how is it possible to debug complex things like this
[21:53] <MeQuerSat> jclbrt, thats pretty impressive actually
[21:53] <Qualia> how does one even check the effect of a system wide hotkey and see why its not working for a specific program
[21:53] <Qualia> i mean what knowledge do i need for that...
[21:53] <jclbrt> i guess it's cuz i only use the server edition with vmware installed and windows on top of that
[21:53] <jclbrt> as a guest
[21:53] <Thelmaria> hughissuper_: You don't have GTK installed. Try 'sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev
[21:54] <Italy> good night to all
[21:54] <SomeoneWeirdTAFE> all i need for a http proxy is export http_proxy=http://url:port/ right?
[21:54] <EvilResistance> <EvilResistance> anyone know if a package built for precise can be run effectively on a Natty environment?
[21:54] <EvilResistance> <EvilResistance> or would things explode
[21:54] <LordDicranius> is there a way to determine which version of Firefox was installed prior to upgrading via apt-get?
[21:54] <hughissuper_> Thelmaria, thanks, trying.
[21:55] <jclbrt> someoneweirdTAFE: are you trying to set up a proxy server?
[21:55] <SomeoneWeirdTAFE> i need to connect to one jclbrt
[21:55] <SomeoneWeirdTAFE> im behind a proxy atm,
[21:56] <jclbrt> ah ok
[21:56] <jclbrt> sorry
[21:56] <jclbrt> i thought u were trying to set up a proxy server
[21:56] <jclbrt> haha
[21:56] <SomeoneWeirdTAFE> nah
[21:56] <SomeoneWeirdTAFE> :)
[21:56] <tolmun> aohi
[21:57] <jclbrt> i cnt remember how to set up a ubuntu machine to connect via proxy
[21:57] <jclbrt> but if my memory serves right there's a way to do it via a GUI interface (i thought it was in the network settings last i checked)
[21:57] <jclbrt> but i could be wrong
[21:58] <jclbrt> i use Squid at home, but i have all my linux machines manually excluded from the proxy via MAC address
[21:58] <Italy> jclbrt I'm sorry for the question, do you are italian?
[21:58] <templet> anyone know how to boot up and install oneiric using a Nvidia Quadro fx1400 video card ?
[21:58] <Italy> *are you italian
[21:58] <jclbrt> lol Italy: no i'm sorry
[21:58] <Thelmaria> If you're using gnome-classic, under system->preferences ->network proxy.
[21:58] <jclbrt> tho i did just order italian food
[21:58] <tolmun> spageti
[21:58] <jclbrt> Thelmaria: ah yes that's right
[21:58] <jclbrt> lol no pizza
[21:58] <jclbrt> oh wait thats american
[21:58] <jclbrt> my bad
[21:59] <escott> SomeoneWeirdTAFE, most applications should respect that variable, but its not guaranteed
[21:59] <Italy> tomun is said: spaghetti
[21:59] <Italy> xD
[21:59] <tolmun> try next time vitelo tonato
[21:59] <Italy> *tolmun
[21:59] <SomeoneWeirdTAFE> escott: trying to use it with apt, not working :S
[21:59] <Thelmaria> SomeoneWeirdTAFE: Export ftp_proxy as well as http_proxy.
[22:00] <jclbrt> SomeoneWeirdTAFE, escott is right that most apps should respect that... however i think there MAY be a small exception with Firefox
[22:00] <SomeoneWeirdTAFE> i have Thelmaria
[22:00] <SomeoneWeirdTAFE> jclbrt: ^^
[22:00] <hughissuper_> Thelmaria, http://pastebin.com/eE7Qq95M
[22:00] <escott> SomeoneWeird, there is also a https_proxy variable
[22:00] <SomeoneWeirdTAFE> mm
[22:00] <jclbrt> i think u have to manually go in and set the proxy settings in the firefox application
[22:00] <hughissuper_> Thelmaria, same error, looks like.  I installed like you said :(
[22:00] <Italy> I've got a problem with ubuntu but i don't speak very good the engliesh, is there some italian in this chat?
[22:01] <escott> !it | Italy
[22:01] <Italy> escott thank you
[22:01] <jclbrt> dunno if u can use Auto detect or if you have to use the manual entry
[22:01] <Q-collective> Hey all. I've installed a fresh Ubuntu 11.10 install and when I try to install anything I get apt input/output errors. I anyone familiar with those?
[22:01] <tolmun> ok i only write spageti =)
[22:01] <jclbrt> Q-collective: i assume you are using sudo correct?
[22:02] <Thelmaria> hughissuper_: Nope, that's a different error :) This time you don't have GST installed - line 102 in your pastie. It wants the packages listed in lines 109 through 114. To get them, I'd: aptitude search <PACKAGENAME> then apt-get install <PACKAGE> until you meet all dependancies.
[22:02] <Q-collective> jclbrt: yes
[22:03] <jclbrt> Q-collective is this after dpkg?
[22:03] <Thelmaria> You only need http_ and ft_proxys for apt over command line. See: http://blog.mypapit.net/2006/02/how-to-use-apt-get-behind-proxy-server-ubuntudebian.html - that works for me behind my corperate proxies.
[22:03] <faiob> i would drop ip for my serveur but i dont see the drop in iptable :
[22:03] <Thelmaria> SomeoneWeirdTAFE: ^
[22:03] <faiob> http://paste.ubuntu.com/730448/
[22:04] <Q-collective> jclbrt: I get the error when apt is updating the database. It gets stuck at 55% and then whines that banshee has caused an input/output error.
[22:04] <SomeoneWeirdTAFE> i am using command line Thelmaria
[22:04] <diamonds> I'm having an issue with wordpress where my photos get rotated strangely
[22:04] <jclbrt> Q-collective, can u paste the exact thing to pastibin so we can see
[22:04] <diamonds> from an iphone, via ubuntu
[22:05] <diamonds> I'm trying to rotate and resave in image viewer
[22:05] <Q-collective> jclbrt: I could, give me a moment
[22:05] <SomeoneWeirdTAFE> also thats the webpage i followed Thelmaria
[22:05] <jclbrt> ok off topic... but holy crap DC Universe is a LARGE download
[22:05] <diamonds> but when I "save as," AS SOON AS I save, it says The image "IMG_0007-rotated.JPG" has been modified by an external program.  Would you like to reload it?"
[22:05] <escott> diamonds, check the exif data it may be indicating a rotation factor that wordpress is ignoring but all your guis are respecting
[22:06] <jclbrt> i think it was like 15GB or something
[22:06] <jclbrt> taking forever
[22:06] <diamonds> escott: ahhh thanks
[22:06] <jclbrt> even on my 105mbps down
[22:06] <diamonds> so my question: what is IMMEDIATELY modifying my image on save?
[22:06] <hughissuper> Thelmaria, is there an easier way to do all that? it seems odd that to compile a tar file I need all these dependencies.  Also I'm doing it on multiple computers.
[22:06] <jclbrt> hope comcast doesnt complain about me using my bandwidth cap again...
[22:06] <jakemp-laptop> Since my wifi is not working on the realtec 8188CE with the rtl8192ce driver, is there anything to gain from downloading and using the driver from realtecs website?
[22:07] <jclbrt> jakemp-laptop, is the realtek driver linux?
[22:07] <jclbrt> or windows?
[22:07] <jakemp-laptop> jclbrt, linux
[22:07] <jclbrt> then i'd download it
[22:07] <jclbrt> cant hurt to try
[22:07] <jclbrt> is it source or is it a precompiled package?
[22:08] <hughissuper_> Thelmaria, can I do step 3 on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingEasyHowTo to batch-add all dependencies?
[22:08] <groundnuty> anyone using any tag based filesystem or any other semantic music managment soft worth of recomendation?
[22:08] <jclbrt> see if they have a ubuntu pacakge on their site jakemp-laptop
[22:08] <jclbrt> or at the very least a .deb
[22:09] <SomeoneWeirdTAFE> can anyone help?
[22:09] <Thelmaria> hughissuper_: I've not used that method. It would probably work.
[22:09] <hughissuper_> Thelmaria, I'll read into it.
