[06:54] <maum> ActionParsnip, what about this? http://www.addictivetips.com/ubuntu-linux-tips/change-ubuntu-11-10-logon-screen-background-with-lightdm-manager/
[06:54] <ActionParsnip> maum: ubuntu doesn't even use gdm by default now, it uses lightdm
[06:54] <ActionParsnip> maum: sure, looks fine, it's on eiric based too :)
[06:55] <ActionParsnip> maum: its just a pretty GUI to edit the file than my link told you yto edit...
[06:56] <truepurple> MahaVishnu, "uncomment the two lines under partner repo", you mean # deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu maverick partner # deb-src http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu maverick partner ?
[06:57] <MahaVishnu> ActionParsnip, can you help me with a video problem.... I can't stop Xorg completely cause lightdm always restarts it. how to avoid this and drop back to a text terminal with the ability to restart x later ?
[06:58] <truepurple> ActionParsnip, a half an hour? You really think there are boards out there able to hold a charge that long?
[06:58] <Transx3> So you don't think that will work?
[06:59] <truepurple> Transx3, well it sounds strange to me that it would take that long to remove all residue charge, most of the time they say like 30 seconds... I wouldn't get your hopes up, but it couldn't hurt to try.
[06:59] <ActionParsnip> MahaVishnu: why do you want to stop lightdm?
[06:59] <ruslan_osmanov> there no some small 8x8 gnome icons in xfce. What should I install?
[07:00] <ActionParsnip> truepurple: i cna only call it as I see it, could also ask in ##hardware
[07:00] <MahaVishnu> ActionParsnip, if I look in pstree lightdm spawns Xorg. I want to be able to kill Xorg completely and just use text terminal. but lightdm always restarts Xorg and I end up at the lightdm login screen.
[07:00] <Transx3> Damn, well, i don't know what else would fix it, i had lubuntu going and then i reinstalled Ubuntu and after it was finished i restarted to this...
[07:01] <ActionParsnip> MahaVishnu: add the boot option:  text    and you can boot to text only. You can then remove the option and boot to GUI
[07:01] <truepurple> Transx3, I probably can't help, but what is the issue?
[07:02] <ActionParsnip> MahaVishnu: if you are installing nvidia drivers, I recommend you use the nvidia-current package (guessing what you are doing)
[07:02] <Transx3> Have you been r for awhile? I typed it up there,  kinda long and hard to explain.lol
[07:02] <MahaVishnu> ActionParsnip, I have nvidia drivers alrdy! I just want to be able to kill Xorg when I please and not have Lightdm restart it.
[07:03] <truepurple> Transx3, but finding text in ubuntu is a super pain in the ass, can you summarize it in a sentence or two? (I feel your pain though, ever so often someone comes in asking for the details anew)
[07:04] <r45c4l> hello room, i just need a little guidence to fix some error while installing a programe
[07:04] <r45c4l> http://pastebin.com/tDbYT8pg this is the OP can any one tell me what i am doing wrong
[07:04] <r45c4l> btw i am not a linux geek, i m just a beginner
[07:05] <r45c4l> so forgive me for errors and mistakes and my ignorance
[07:05] <somsip> r45c4l: might be worth checking in a #runy channel too if there is one
[07:05] <somsip> * #ruby
[07:06] <Transx3> It's okay, i appreciate the help. Well, i did what i said just a sec ago and when i booted back up it gets stick at a black screen with white letters. It says different ide channels and shows all my drives and at the bottom it says, "verifying dmi pool data" and below that it says,  "boot from cd:".
[07:06] <r45c4l> okk somsip so it's a problem related to the ruby configuration ??
[07:06] <r45c4l> but anyways thanks somsip let me check at #ruby room too
[07:07] <truepurple> Transx3, In hardware, they said (and is my understanding) if you turn off the PSU for safety, and remove the cables from the PSU, as well as the cmos battery, the drain of the board should take like 5 seconds, nowhere near 30 minutes
[07:07] <somsip> r45c4l: I have very little experience with ruby so maybe someone else can say more, but either a config issue r a bug in that gem
[07:08] <Transx3> Alright, well, where do i go from here? Lol or am i just f'ed
[07:08] <Transx3> Lol
[07:08] <r45c4l> :P somsip atleast u have some idea, i m just a n00b its just that programme needs ruby thats why i have to go through all this
[07:08] <r45c4l> :P
[07:08] <ruslan_osmanov> i've got it myself: sudo apt-get install python-support python-gtksourceview2 ;  sudo dpkg --force-downgrade -i  gedit-common_2.30.4-2ubuntu1_all.deb ; sudo dpkg --force-downgrade -i  gedit_2.30.4-2ubuntu1_i386.deb
[07:09] <ruslan_osmanov> MahaVishnu, install prefix is --instdir option of dpkg (man dpkg)
[07:09] <truepurple> Transx3, I asked you to summarize your issue in a sentence or two if you can, if you already did, please copy paste it with my name.
[07:10] <Transx3> Truepurple, It's okay, i appreciate the help. Well, i did what i said just a sec ago and when i booted back up it gets stick at a black screen with white letters. It says different ide channels and shows all my drives and at the bottom it says, "verifying dmi pool data" and below that it says,  "boot from cd:".
[07:11] <truepurple> Transx3, did you try del or f2 or what ever your motherboard uses to get into cmos/bios?
[07:12] <Transx3> Truepurple, Yeah, I've been there.
[07:12] <Transx3> And it's del
[07:12] <truepurple> Transx3, and tried it at different stages of turning on your PC? sometimes those windows of cmos activation can be really really small
[07:13] <truepurple>  MahaVishnu, "uncomment the two lines under partner repo", you mean # deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu maverick partner # deb-src http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu maverick partner ?
[07:14] <Transx3> Yeah, I've been in the menu, what about it?
[07:14] <Transx3> The black screen comes after the chance to go into bios
[07:14] <truepurple> Transx3, you've been into cmos? Then perhaps you can change settings to fix the issue
[07:14] <MahaVishnu> truepurple, are you on maverick or oneiric ?
[07:15] <Transx3> All the settings are factory though.
[07:15] <ruslan_osmanov> is there a dpkg config to check for a package version until it becomes X.Y?
[07:15] <truepurple> MahaVishnu, 11.04
[07:15] <MahaVishnu> truepurple, lsb_release -a is it codename natty, then change maverick to natty
[07:15] <ruslan_osmanov> i mean to set a package version there from which to upgrade further
[07:16] <pnorman> I just installed a SATA card and two 1TB 7200 RPM drives into my ubuntu server. I'm looking to do a stress test of the card to make sure it performs properly and doesn't hang the machine like my last one did. Does anyone have suggestions on commands to run? Both drives are unformatted
[07:16] <MahaVishnu> truepurple, and uncomment means remove the #
[07:16] <ruslan_osmanov> am I invisible?
[07:16] <ruslan_osmanov> ignored
[07:16] <truepurple> Transx3, What kind of hard drive do you have? A blank one to install windows/linux on? One already set up with something?
[07:16] <Transx3> Truepurple, All the settings are factory though.
[07:16] <truepurple> MahaVishnu, I figured out how to uncomment, but I need to know which lines to uncomment
[07:16] <truepurple> Transx3, never mind that, and please answer the quesiton
[07:17] <MahaVishnu> pnorman, sudo hdparm -tT /dev/device
[07:17] <truepurple> Transx3, is it a blank hard drive your trying to install a OS onto? Or a established one?
[07:17] <MahaVishnu> pnorman, that will do the reads atleast.
[07:17] <Transx3> Well, it was set up with lubuntu and i decided i wanted Ubuntu so i clicked reinstall Ubuntu in the setup and installed Ubuntu. Then i booted to this.
[07:18] <Transx3> Truepurple ^
[07:18] <MahaVishnu> Transx3, you got any disks you can try to boot? or usb
[07:18] <pnorman> MahaVishnu: Doesn't the -T option just add testing of the cache system and not involve the disk?
[07:19] <truepurple> Transx3, most motherboards would default to booting with CD I think because they assume a blank drive, set boot to hard drive...
[07:19] <Transx3> Truepurple: Well, it boots Ubuntu on a CD..
[07:19] <MahaVishnu> pnorman, hrm yep apparently.
[07:19] <truepurple> Transx3, so what is the problem?
[07:20] <truepurple> Transx3, you want it to boot the hard drive, right? So set the hard drive as your first boot
[07:20] <MahaVishnu> pnorman, you can do a write benchmark and a read too using palimpsest
[07:20] <Transx3> I want it to boot from my hard drive. I did...
[07:20] <pnorman> MahaVishnu: I can do sequential reads (and writes) with dd if=... of=... bs=1G count=lots
[07:20] <r45c4l> somsip, no help from #ruby looks like every one is inactive there
[07:20] <MahaVishnu> pnorman, then why'd you ask the question in the first placei f you knew the answer ?
[07:20] <r45c4l> :(
[07:21] <r45c4l> trying to fix this since last 2 hours
[07:21] <sgo11> hi, I am trying to install gnome-shell online. the installation process asks me to remove libpanel-applet-3-0, is this safe to do? thanks.
[07:21] <StarryNight> so anyone in here loves windows?
[07:21] <r45c4l> MahaVishnu u indian bro ??
[07:21] <MahaVishnu> r45c4l, no.
[07:21] <truepurple> Transx3, and did it work?
[07:21] <pnorman> MahaVishnu: that wants me to install 38 packages, including what appear to be x11 related packages.
[07:22] <MahaVishnu> pnorman, ahh you said server. then do your command ;-)
[07:22] <somsip> r45c4l: what are you installing?
[07:22] <Transx3> When i switch it it just does the same thing but doesn't say boot from CD, just the verifying dmi pool data again. Isn't Ubuntu faster when you run it from your hard drive?
[07:22] <MahaVishnu> still not sure why you asked a question you apparently had an answer to........ some kind of quest for knowledge ?
[07:23] <r45c4l> somsip, its basically a web lnerability scanner v
[07:23] <truepurple> Transx3, anything is faster running from a HDD rather then a CD :p
[07:23] <somsip> r45c4l: what is it called
[07:23] <Transx3> That's what i thought...
[07:23] <truepurple> ALOT faster
[07:23] <r45c4l> its called arachni
[07:23] <truepurple> especially once you consider CD/DVD spin up time
[07:23] <somsip> r45c4l: and what version of ubuntu are you on?
[07:23] <KFP> truepurple: http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/04/alot-is-better-than-you-at-everything.html   ;)
[07:24] <r45c4l> 11.10 somnium
[07:24] <somsip> r45c4l: http://npenkov.com/2011/11/08/get-ruby-on-rails-working-on-ubuntu-11-10/
[07:24] <r45c4l> sorry somsip *
[07:24] <pnorman> MahaVishnu: Ya - no GUI. Currently 8 drives in the server
[07:24] <ticayou> slt à tous
[07:24] <r45c4l> well i have installed 1.9.1 just now on my machine somsip
[07:24] <Transx3> I wonder why lubuntu would work but not Ubuntu. 11.11 or 11.10
[07:24] <Transx3> Truepurple^
[07:24] <somsip> r45c4l: check the link - it has a possible fix for that error on 11.10
[07:24] <Transx3> Bad install?
[07:25] <pnorman> Is it safe to write directly to /dev/sdg, if there is no data on the drive I care about?
[07:25] <MahaVishnu> yea
[07:26] <MahaVishnu> just about anything is safe if you got no data to lose.
[07:26] <truepurple> Transx3, so you can get a CD to boot?
[07:26] <ticayou> j'ai mis à jour mon portable ss 11.10 et j'aimerai mettre gnome 3.2 plutot qu'unity
[07:26] <r45c4l> ohh thanks somsip let me try that :) appreciate your help brother
[07:27] <Transx3> Truepurple,  Yeah.
[07:27] <somsip> r45c4l: I have no idea myself, but it looks like a good fit
[07:27] <truepurple> MahaVishnu, I did not understand that first part of the last thing you said, and which lines do you want me to uncomment?
[07:27] <MahaVishnu> truepurple, the 2 under partner repo man...
[07:28] <MahaVishnu> truepurple, lol your still at that ? took me 2 total minutes.
[07:28] <truepurple> Transx3, And your hard drive shows up in cmos looking like it should?
[07:28] <Transx3> Yeah.
[07:28] <truepurple> MahaVishnu, I mentioned two lines, are those the two lines you mean?
[07:28] <sgo11> !gnome3
[07:28] <MahaVishnu> truepurple, yea I told you like 10 minutes ago what to do after you asked
[07:28] <r45c4l> :) yeah somsip but it actually helps you a lot when someone give his/her time to listen to you and try to help you
[07:28] <MahaVishnu> Transx3, its possible you have a fault hardware component.
[07:29] <r45c4l> that helps to release a lot of frustration :P
[07:29] <truepurple> Transx3, are you sure that HDD is the one with your OS set up? Is the OS the same type as your board/memory 64bit/32bit?
[07:31] <truepurple> MahaVishnu, after i asked, the only thing you told me with my name in it, is " lsb_release -a is it codename natty, then change maverick to natty" which I didn't understand, and to remove the pound to uncomment, which I already figured out
[07:31] <MahaVishnu> truepurple, yea and that was in response to you asking are these the correct lines, and I told you what to do after.
[07:33] <MahaVishnu> deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu natty partner
[07:33] <MahaVishnu> deb-src http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu natty partner
[07:33] <Transx3> Truepurple, i only have one hdd. this is the screen i get stuck at. http://www.sendspace.com/file/3cmkz8
[07:33] <MahaVishnu> Transx3, that link doesn't work ?
[07:34] <MahaVishnu> Transx3, upload it to imageshack.us
[07:34] <Transx3> What!? Do you know a file sharing site i can post it on, it's a picture
[07:34] <Transx3> Do you have to sign up?
[07:34] <MahaVishnu> no
[07:34] <MahaVishnu> its trying to make me download a .exe on the link you gave
[07:34] <MahaVishnu> lol.
[07:35] <MahaVishnu> truepurple, do you understand now?
[07:35] <Transx3> Do you want the link or direct link?
[07:35] <MahaVishnu> direct link i'd guess.
[07:36] <Transx3>  http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/818/20111207012645529.jpg/
[07:36] <truepurple> MahaVishnu, I know what lines to comment in now, but I still don't get what you told me after you asked which version of ubuntu I am using
[07:37] <Transx3> What? An exe? Lol
[07:37] <truepurple> Transx3, looks like you are hanging at POST, I don't see a HDD listed in your devices.
[07:38] <MahaVishnu> I see one. it says ide channel 2 master disk 160gb
[07:38] <Transx3> It says 160 after master disk. Isn't that it?
[07:38] <Transx3> Yeah.
[07:38] <MahaVishnu> Transx3, can you change in the bios. that the HD is master of channel 1 ? and disable the dvd drive. your trying to boot from hd correct ?
[07:39] <Transx3> Yeah.
[07:39] <truepurple> the screen shot you gave me speaks of a DVD-RW, and master-slave, you got a IDE drive? so old
[07:39] <MahaVishnu> Transx3, its possible it's a failing drive......
[07:39] <Transx3> It's an older computer. Maybe.
[07:39] <MahaVishnu> like he said ide? that disk has got to be ancient
[07:40] <truepurple> Transx3, IDE has a frustrating master/slave system that sometimes requires messing with jumpers in the back of the drive
[07:40] <MahaVishnu> get a new comp honestly.
[07:40] <Transx3> The computer is an evetex gs3005, amd sempron.
[07:40] <Transx3> I am, but i can't for about a month. Lol
[07:40] <truepurple> if you don't have the master/slave jumpers set right for your hardware setup, it won't work MahaVishnu
[07:40] <MahaVishnu> by the time you pay.... $60 ? if you can find a replacement drive. you can get a new emachines pc or something for like $300.
[07:40] <StarryNight> lol that is very old computer
[07:40] <StarryNight> if u still run ide
[07:41] <Transx3> I know it is. Lol
[07:41] <truepurple> StarryNight, well lets not get carried away, IDE was on motherboards of just last year
[07:41] <MahaVishnu> truepurple, yea but his HD is alrdy a master right? can't he just move it to channel 1 and disable the dvd drive. just to simplify things ?
[07:41] <Transx3> In bios there is not and ide channel 1, just 0 and 2
[07:42] <Transx3>  And 3
[07:42] <truepurple> MahaVishnu, the jumpers on the HDD still need to be set right, if its set to slave for example, it won't work, no matter the number of drives
[07:42] <sgo11> wow! just installed gnome3. gnome3 is cool. :)
[07:42] <MahaVishnu> truepurple, its gotta be set to master ( i think ) cause he was using it before!
[07:42] <truepurple> MahaVishnu, master and slave has more to do with whether it is using part a of the IDE cable, or part b
[07:42] <MahaVishnu> I know what master/slave on ide is ;-)
[07:42] <truepurple> Transx3, Looking at the screen shot you sent, I see a DVD drive in master, not a HDD, maybe you sent me the wrong screen shot?
[07:43] <maum> I see whenever I reboot PC. how can I fix this? http://ompldr.org/vYm1oMQ
[07:43] <MahaVishnu> truepurple, look under the top box.
[07:43] <MahaVishnu> where it says IDE channel 2 on the left
[07:43] <Transx3> In bios the hdd I'd ide channel 2 master
[07:43] <StarryNight> truepurple i havnt had ide drives for what now 5 years or so
[07:44] <Transx3> *says
[07:44] <MahaVishnu> Transx3, whats it say for dvd drive ?
[07:44] <Northwoods> i installed wine on my 11.10  , i want to run windows exe file , how do i do it ?
[07:44] <Transx3> Ide channel 0 master
[07:44] <maum> I see whenever I reboot PC. how can I fix this? http://ompldr.org/vYm1oMQ
[07:44] <truepurple> MahaVishnu, Transx3 ""Pri. Master Disk : DVD-RW, ATA 66" and for slave it is blank
[07:44] <MahaVishnu> Northwoods, in terminal wine file.exe
[07:44] <MahaVishnu> or just click it?
[07:45] <truepurple> Transx3, at least in the link you sent me
[07:45] <truepurple> http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/818/20111207012645529.jpg/
[07:45] <Transx3> Yeah, your correct, the ide channel 0 slave is blank
[07:45] <truepurple> and no HDD
[07:46] <Transx3> The hdd is ide channel 2 master
[07:46] <truepurple> Transx3, how are you planing to boot from a HDD cmos doesn't see?
[07:46] <MahaVishnu> it should still boot that hd!
[07:46] <Transx3> It does on ide channel 2 master, doesn't it?
[07:46] <MahaVishnu> omg. how do you not see it.
[07:46] <Northwoods> i did double click the exe ,  http://pastebin.com/s5yjfG5b , i get this error message
[07:46] <truepurple> oops, I see, still, looks kind of funny
[07:46] <Northwoods> MahaVishnu, ^
[07:47] <truepurple> Sorry, I expected it to be in the same box
[07:47] <MahaVishnu> Northwoods, in terminal. sudo chmod +x /home/northwoods/Downloads/Dreamweaver.exe
[07:48] <MahaVishnu> Transx3, get rid of the dvd drive. put the HD on the cable where the dvd drive was. and edit the bios if needed.
[07:48] <maum> I see whenever I reboot PC. how can I fix this? http://ompldr.org/vYm1oMQ
[07:48] <truepurple> Transx3, that board has to be 32bit only, but are you trying to use a 64 bit OS? Or otherwise, could the the OS you are trying to use be too new for the board? Or too old? What was this HDD on before that it worked?
[07:50] <Transx3> http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/440/20111207014817129.jpg/ this is my hdd, it has a different cable than the cd, which is a ribbon.
[07:50] <Transx3> It worked with lubuntu before.
[07:50] <kishan> join #drupal-support
[07:50] <truepurple> Transx3, is this a move from one PC to another? Or did your PC suddenly stop working?
[07:51] <MahaVishnu> Transx3, it has SATA!!!
[07:51] <Transx3> Is that bad? Lol i know sata is newer
[07:51] <MahaVishnu> isnt that sata on that HD ?
[07:51] <MahaVishnu> the pic is a little hard to tell
[07:51] <MahaVishnu> err drive.
[07:52] <Transx3> I thick red cable that's kinda small
[07:52] <truepurple> MahaVishnu, no
[07:52] <Transx3> *a
[07:52] <MahaVishnu> yea. is that not sata?
[07:52] <pnorman> Ya, that's SATA
[07:52] <truepurple> thats a sata cable
[07:52] <MahaVishnu> -_- then why are you using an ide hd
[07:52] <truepurple> but based on that post screen, I see no evidence of sata, I do see IDE in several different ways
[07:53] <Transx3> So why does it say it's ide? Lol
[07:53] <MahaVishnu> cause
[07:53] <MahaVishnu> do you have an AHCI mode in your bios setting?
[07:53] <pnorman> I speak as someone who just dug through a box of 30 sata cables
[07:53] <MahaVishnu> is it set to IDE instead of AHCI
[07:53] <truepurple> ah
[07:53] <MahaVishnu> I thought you had a damn ide only system the whole time. you sneaky bugger.
[07:54] <Transx3> In advanced chipset features is says sata speed spectrum
[07:54] <pnorman> Transx3: My guess is that the drive is set to appear as IDE in the BIOS. Many motherboards have that for compatability
[07:54] <Transx3> What would ahci be under?
[07:54] <MahaVishnu> Transx3, idk on your bios exactly. hunt around
[07:54] <truepurple> Transx3,  Really though, sata is not really dramatically superior or anything. It allows for slightly faster speeds, bigger HDD I think, but for computer builders, the cables are alot easier to deal with, and losing master/slave is so wonderful.
[07:54] <Transx3> How would it work before then? Loo
[07:55] <MahaVishnu> mine is a setting from SATA to AHCI mode since I dont have ide at all.
[07:55] <MahaVishnu> you might have a setting from IDE to SATA or IDE AHCI who knows
[07:55] <MahaVishnu> ide+sata mobos are strange beasts.
[07:55] <truepurple> I got one
[07:56] <MahaVishnu> they work fine mostly. but can run in to weird issues ( like the one ur having trans )
[07:56] <pnorman> SATA is superior to IDE in so many ways.
[07:56] <MahaVishnu> obviously ;-P
[07:56] <truepurple> Well I don't know that
[07:57] <MahaVishnu> its much faster than ide. and can support alot more devices without jumpers.
[07:57] <Transx3> In the ide function setup it has onchip ide channel0, ide dma transfer access, serialata controller and ide pre fetch mode. All of which are enabled
[07:57] <MahaVishnu> especially now with sata @ 6gbs or whatever/
[07:57] <truepurple> Yeah, which only matters if you have a SSD
[07:57] <pnorman> MahaVishnu: SATA III only matters for port multipliers
[07:57] <MahaVishnu> idk what a port multiplier is lol ;-P
[07:58] <truepurple> Not sure what a port multiplier is myself, but I stick by what i said about SSD
[07:58] <MahaVishnu> I got an SSD but it's SATA 2.0 still lightning fast though an intel x25-mainstream.
[07:58] <pnorman> MahaVishnu: You can connect multiple drives to one port with a port multiplier
[07:58] <truepurple> pnorman, a waste of sata 6gb:p
[07:58] <Transx3> Truepurple, In the ide function setup it has onchip ide channel0, ide dma transfer access, serialata controller and ide pre fetch mode. All of which are enabled that ahci nowhere to be found
[07:59] <MahaVishnu> pnorman, ic
[07:59] <pnorman> truepurple: I get more than 3 Gbps off of my array and they're not 15k ones
[07:59] <truepurple> My motherboard came with way more sata ports then I could ever use, the idea of trying to crowd a bunch onto one seems hilarious
[07:59] <MahaVishnu> Transx3, idk what ide pre fetch mode means.
[07:59] <pnorman> truepurple: I have 8 drives.
[07:59] <Transx3> Neither do i. Lol
[07:59] <truepurple> pnorman, you are abnormalman.
[07:59] <MahaVishnu> truepurple, I agree
[08:00] <MahaVishnu> about the ports comment that is.
[08:00] <employee> hi
[08:00] <MahaVishnu> my SSD reads 190.88 MB/sec while im using it as my boot drive. im happy with that.
[08:00] <employee> Wanna know If smb canhelp me to setup local IRC server
[08:01] <MahaVishnu> employee, samba ?
[08:01] <employee> on ubuntu
[08:01] <Transx3> ?
[08:01] <employee> IRC-hybrid possible
[08:01] <pnorman> And I don't see SATA III making a real difference for SSDs yet. In some theoretical situations it can, but I don't see SATA II bottlenecking a single SSD
[08:02] <employee> just an IRC server with chat rooms
[08:02] <MahaVishnu> I have no idea what your question is.
[08:02] <pnorman> employee: samba and IRC are unrelated.
[08:02] <employee> no
[08:02] <employee> no samba
[08:02] <pnorman> What do you mean by smb then?
[08:02] <truepurple> Transx3, MahaVishnu I forget, but doesn't IDE master slave settings not only care about master/slave part a, part b, of the cable, but whether it is the first IDE port, or the second?
[08:02] <employee> somebody
[08:02] <MahaVishnu> employee, im sure if you google linux irc server you can find how to set one up.
[08:03] <employee> I've tried that
[08:03] <MahaVishnu> this channel is for ubuntu support. not irc server support.
[08:03] <pnorman> employee: which ircd did you want to use?
[08:03] <employee> but it doesn't work prorerly
[08:03] <employee> ok
[08:03] <Transx3> Well, my hdd doesn't have a hookup for that wide ribbon cable..
[08:03] <employee> I've a question then
[08:03] <MahaVishnu> Transx3, cause it's sata.
[08:03] <MahaVishnu> ribbon = ide
[08:04] <employee> Why I can't find irc on empathy on ubuntu 10.04
[08:04] <truepurple> Transx3, if it uses a fatter smaller cable for its connection, it is sata but that does not fit with your post screen.
[08:04] <employee> isn't it installed by default?
[08:04] <korben> [employee]: because it's on pidgin not empathy
[08:04] <Transx3> So why are there no sata settings in my bios then?
[08:04] <truepurple> Transx3, if your cmos is set to IDE, but your trying to use a sata HDD, that could possibly cause trouble
[08:04] <employee> but on some comps we have irc by default
[08:05] <Transx3> I don't see sata in my bios anywhere
[08:05] <truepurple> Transx3, there has to be, did you check the manual/have one?
[08:05] <korben> [employee]: on empathy i believe it's an add-on
[08:05] <Transx3> Nope, no manual. Lol
[08:05] <employee> can u help me to install that?
[08:05] <truepurple> Transx3, do you see a setting that is set to "IDE"?
[08:06] <employee> korben, can u help me to install that?
[08:08] <korben> [employee]: one moment
[08:08] <ct529> hi everybody
[08:08] <ct529> I have a dirctory full of text files. I would like to substitute a string in all the text files with another string, using the command line. Anyone who knows how to do it?
[08:09] <pnorman> ct529: know regular expressions?
[08:09] <truepurple> MahaVishnu, "lsb_release -a is it codename natty, then change maverick to natty" what are you referring to with this?
[08:10] <cowslapper> how do I upgrade just one program and not my whole system
[08:10] <ct529> pnorman: yes, a bit
[08:10] <starn> can anyone assist me with broadcom 802.11??
[08:10] <MahaVishnu>  ct529 sed -i 's/old-word/new-word/g' *.txt
[08:10] <cowslapper> I have both apt and synaptic
[08:10] <cowslapper> sudo apt-get upgrade will try to upgrade everything
[08:10] <pnorman> 89.7 MB/s and 82.7 MB/s on sequential read of both drives on the card at the same time.
[08:11] <MahaVishnu> cowslapper, sudo apt-get install programname it will check
[08:11] <MahaVishnu> for updates.
[08:11] <ct529> MahaVishnu: that's it????
[08:11] <MahaVishnu> ct529, yea.
[08:11] <cowslapper> MahaVishnu OK Ill give that a spin
[08:11] <ct529> MahaVishnu: do I have to escape special charchters like /?
[08:12] <pnorman> ct529: You may want to make a copy of the text files - regular expressions can be tricky. You'll have to escape stuff too
[08:12] <PPPPPPP> Ask #ubuntu, what is your favorie Linux game of all time??
[08:12] <MahaVishnu> ct529, yea
[08:12] <ct529> MahaVishnu: pnorman; thanks a lot!
[08:13] <Transx3> Truepurple, mahavishnu, i went to standard cmos features and the hdd was listed next to ide channel 2 master, i went to that and changed the extended ide drive setting from auto to none, now when i boot after the usual stuff it says nvidia boot agent then media test failure, check cable, then it does or again and says disk boot failure
[08:13] <Transx3> The cable is done, i checked it
[08:13] <MahaVishnu> Transx3, is the hd set as first boot device in bios ?
[08:13] <onre> i like the "bash shell" a lot, i thinkg it's rather fascinating game
[08:13] <Transx3> *fine
[08:14] <pnorman> ct529: I know regular expressions fairly well and I've seen ones that I can't decode without a man page and look like line noise.
[08:14] <korben> install irc server locally?!
[08:14] <truepurple> MahaVishnu, "lsb_release -a is it codename natty, then change maverick to natty" what are you referring to with this? Please help, I am looking through IRC history and do not see where you cleared up what your saying with this
[08:15] <truepurple> Transx3, there should be a option to set something from IDE, to several different types, of which were mentioned earlier in the chat
[08:15] <truepurple> Transx3, do you know the model of your Mother Board?
[08:16] <MahaVishnu> truepurple, in your /etc/apt/sources.list THOSE 2 LINES that said partner and maverick. the lsb_release -a is for you to do in a terminal and find your codename and replace maverick in that file with the codename of your system if it is not maverick.
[08:16] <MahaVishnu> truepurple, once those 2 lines are uncomment, your correct codename is inserted. you can save the file and we can proceed.
[08:17] <bhrandon> howdy
[08:18] <MahaVishnu> truepurple, did that make sense for you ?
[08:18] <mohammadtiti> Dude
[08:18] <Transx3> The sata drive is plugged into sata0 pretty on mother board. I'm not sure, it's an amd sempron 3000 cpu
[08:18] <truepurple> MahaVishnu, not sure yet, got to scroll back to your original instructions and see how I can fit them in
[08:19] <Transx3> *port
[08:19] <mohammadtiti> is there anybody that can help me with my problem
[08:19] <mohammadtiti> ?
[08:19] <pnorman> !ask | mohammadtiti
[08:19] <truepurple> Transx3, doesn't it say anything on the board or in bios as to your motherbaord type?
[08:19] <truepurple> Transx3, you might also ask in hardware, this does not seem to be a ubuntu issue
[08:20] <mohammadtiti> thanks
[08:20] <mohammadtiti> there is this error
[08:20] <mohammadtiti> :
[08:20] <mohammadtiti> the error:(initramfs) Unable to find a medium containing a live file system
[08:20] <Transx3> I know it's not but you guy know my problem so well. LOL
[08:20] <Transx3> It's there a hardware channel?
[08:21] <mohammadtiti> what do u mean by "hardware channel"?
[08:21] <truepurple> MahaVishnu, lsb_release -a after saving those uncommented line changes?
[08:21] <jussi> Transx3: ##hardware
[08:22] <mohammadtiti> no. I didn't save that...
[08:22] <Transx3> Damn. Fine
[08:22] <mohammadtiti> I just read it on my netbook screen and I wrote it here (on my pc)
[08:22] <mohammadtiti> how can i solve that problem
[08:22] <mohammadtiti> ?
[08:24] <Guest5648> Hi. Virtual box just surprised by claiming that my X is working in sixteen bit mode. How to check it and eventually if confirmed change?
[08:25] <keithzg> I'm stumped as to why, since the upgrade to Oneiric, no GUI package managers other than Muon work for me, but the CLI ones continue fine. I mean, it's not a HUGE deal since I mainly use aptitude anyways, but WTF?
[08:26] <mohammadtiti> how can install ubuntu on my netbook with this error showing over and over again:(initramfs) Unable to find a medium containing a live file system
[08:27] <truepurple> How does one save under nano?
[08:27] <tootac> Hi guys, my unity crashed. It looks like its a classical theme for desktop.
[08:27] <keithzg> truepurple: Ctrl-X, it'll prompt you, or Ctrl-O I believe saves without exiting.
[08:28] <truepurple> keithzg, I choose to exit, it asks if I want to save, I type y, it goes back to the file and does not save
[08:28] <theadmin> truepurple: The shortcuts are all at the bottom. ^ means Ctrl, M- means Alt
[08:28] <excelsior> is it worth it to uninstall OOo 3.2 and install LO 3.4.4 on Ubuntu 10.10?
[08:29] <theadmin> excelsior: Yes
[08:29] <gstreamer213> i got an error loading a .ko driver file (invalid module format)
[08:29] <gstreamer213> anything i can try
[08:29] <gstreamer213> ?
[08:29] <keithzg> truepurple: are you sure you have permission to edit the file? If you're trying to edit something in /etc/, for example, you'll likely have to be running it with "sudo nano /etc/path/to/file"
[08:29] <excelsior> theadmin: should I use the ppa or download the tar.gz .deb file?
[08:29] <mr_lou> So, trying to install Ubuntu 11.04, but getting an error BusyBox (initramfs) saying something about not being able to....something....   the same PC installed v11.10 fine. What gives?
[08:30] <theadmin> excelsior: Both would be fine... After extracting the .tar.gz with deb files, you navigate to the directory which they are in and run "sudo dpkg -i *.deb"
[08:30]  * mr_lou don't remember Ubuntu giving this much trouble a few years back. :-/
[08:31] <excelsior> theadmin: seems like I usually just double click them in the gui and use my password and they install no problemo
[08:31] <theadmin> excelsior: But there is like 25 of them and you have to install them all at the same time :P So this is the only way
[08:31] <excelsior> fair enough
[08:32] <excelsior> I think I installed the ppa on another comp, and it only upgraded to 3.4.3, whereas the .deb is supposed to be 3.4.4
[08:32] <raven> googleearth + 11.10 - freezing system at any time also in safe graphics mode - why?
[08:33] <mohammadtiti> Yes  <mr_lou>. I've got the same error when trying to install Ubuntu 11.04. What should I Do?
[08:33] <PPPPPPP> Dont hate, but does anybody know a script to brute force a WEP key? My dad locked me out lol.
[08:34] <mr_lou> mohammadtiti, I'm leaning towards Mint linux myself....
[08:34] <excelsior> Why is it that Will Ferrell can say "Fair enough" and make me bust a gut, but anyone else is completely blah?
[08:34] <mr_lou> mohammadtiti, Either that, or put up with 11.10
[08:34] <truepurple> keithzg, my computer shut down, so got a idea how I can save?
[08:34] <mr_lou> mohammadtiti, Can't quite make up my mind about that.
[08:35] <gstreamer213> how possible is it to port drivers between minor kernel versions?
[08:35] <truepurple> MahaVishnu, Are you still there?
[08:35] <mohammadtiti> Does upgrading to Ubuntu 11.10 solve my problem?
[08:35] <gstreamer213> without the source
[08:35] <excelsior> theadmin: back to brass tacks, should I uninstall the old programs first, or can I just leave them in?
[08:36] <mohammadtiti>  <mr_lou>Does upgrading to Ubuntu 11.10 solve my problem?
[08:36] <mr_lou> (initramfs) Unable to find a medium containing a live file system  <-- why does this message appear from the Install CD? (v11.04)
[08:36] <keithzg_900> truepurple: are you certain you have permission to edit the file? If it's in /etc/, for example, you'd need higher authority than your normal user account.
[08:36] <mohammadtiti> I don't know.
[08:36] <theadmin> excelsior: I don't think you should keep both OpenOffice and LibreOffice, they mess up (same binary names)
[08:37] <excelsior> so uninstall first?
[08:37] <theadmin> excelsior: The official LibreOffice packages install to /opt though so you're not gonna have much trouble
[08:37] <theadmin> excelsior: Up to you
[08:37] <MahaVishnu> truepurple, yea dude my internet is jacked up bad. today
[08:37] <mr_lou> mohammadtiti, I have no idea, sorry. I'm trying to get this running myself. I'm just trying to install Ubuntu on a new PC. First went with v11.10, but too many things have changed so I don't want it. Therefor trying v11.04 instead, but it won't install.
[08:37] <excelsior> I think I'll uninstall first.
[08:37] <mohammadtiti> I have a netbook (Asus 1215N) and i want to install ubuntu 11.04 on it (alongside windows 7 HP preinstalled)
[08:37] <excelsior> thanks for the moral support theadmin
[08:37] <sgo11> hi, just installed gnome-contacts. it looks cool. but where is the toolbar? how to import/export vcards? thanks.
[08:37] <mohammadtiti> God damn it
[08:37] <mohammadtiti> ok thanks anyway
[08:38] <WanderingEnder> How much integration is there between Pidgin and Unity's indicator-applet?
[08:38] <truepurple> MahaVishnu, use  "lsb_release -a" in a terminal after saving those changes of uncommented lines?
[08:38] <excelsior> anyone here work in sales?  Trying to decide if I want to keep Empathy or not, I only use it for IM on a few networks.
[08:39] <mohammadtiti> the error is:(initramfs) Unable to find a medium containing a live file system
[08:40] <theadmin> WanderingEnder: /me uses imo.im + Chrome/Chromium. Notifications work so hey :D
[08:40] <keithzg_900> truepurple: you'd better be running "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list", otherwise yeah it'll do exactly what it's doing and not let you save.
[08:40] <pnorman> mohammadtiti: are you installing off of a USB drive or a CD/DVD? Also, did you md5sum the image you downloaded?
[08:40] <Jordan_U> mohammadtiti: Please watch your language and attitude. We are all volunteers.
[08:40] <mohammadtiti> when I want to install it, this message appears
[08:40] <WanderingEnder> mohammadtiti, instead of bothering with a bunch of !commands at you, I'll give you the run down: If nobody's responded, nobody awake knows.
[08:40] <mohammadtiti> WanderingEnder, you mean nobody knows the answer here?
[08:41] <truepurple> keithzg, oopsy, that was my mistake
[08:41] <truepurple> MahaVishnu, use  "lsb_release -a" in a terminal after saving those changes of uncommented lines?
[08:41] <keithzg_900> heh yeah it's an easy one to make before you get in the habit.
[08:41] <MahaVishnu> truepurple, does the rest of your sources file say maverick ? or natty
[08:41] <WanderingEnder> mohammadtiti, the person who knows may not be awake / active in the channel. Or, they may not be looking at the window.
[08:42] <WanderingEnder> mohammadtiti, Didn't you state that 11.10 worked?
[08:42] <mohammadtiti> oops...
[08:42] <mohammadtiti> How can i awake him/her? LOL
[08:42] <excelsior> mohammadtiti: Just be patient and persistent, and eventually someone who knows will tell you. By persistent, I mean wait until at least a few screen passes to repost your question, if necessary. Else try to answer to the responses you are lucky to get.
[08:42]  * keithzg_900 remains sad he's able to solve other folks' problems, but is no closer to isnstalling 64bit flash with multiarch disabled. Ah well, a few months without flash won't be too bad.
[08:43] <truepurple> MahaVishnu, you mean "/etc/apt/sources.list"? I don't see natty written anywhere in here
[08:43] <mohammadtiti> no WanderingEnder i didn't check that
[08:43] <theadmin> keithzg_900: wtf? Flash is native 64-bit... Did Ubuntu not change to that yet?
[08:43] <mohammadtiti> thanks excelsior
[08:43] <mohammadtiti> But I'm downloading it, the X64 DVD version
[08:43] <WanderingEnder> mohammadtiti, Why use an older version?
[08:44] <WanderingEnder> Also, once you DL your ISO, run a MD5 check on it to verify that its actually the same ISO without corruption.
[08:44] <gstreamer213> mohammadtiti, try plugging your cd driver or Harddisk in a different port...? <random idea
[08:44] <dr_willis> i think the flash instaler instals 32 bit.
[08:44] <mohammadtiti> because the newest version I have is that version.
[08:44] <keithzg_900> theadmin: Oneiric has multiarch enabled by default, and has the amd64 package for flashplugin-installer depend on flashplugin-downloader:i386
[08:44] <mohammadtiti> no gstreamer213. good idea. I'm on it
[08:44] <WanderingEnder> Grab 11.10, it may fix your issue, mohammadtiti.
[08:44] <theadmin> keithzg_900: Awkward decision...
[08:44] <dr_willis> not reallyneeded to bother with 64 bit flash.
[08:45] <WanderingEnder> I know that a 10 year old 1U server I have doesn't like 11.10, I fed it 10.04 and it liked it.
[08:45] <keithzg_900> so, Flash is 64bit, but you can't install it without 32bit libs.
[08:45] <keithzg_900> And with multiarch disabled, that becomes a problem...
[08:46] <Jordan_U> mohammadtiti: That error generally means that for whatever reason Ubuntu's kernel isn't able to access your CD Drive to read the files it needs. This can be worked around by using the netinstall CD (because then everything that needs to be loaded is loaded from the bootloader into memory using your firmware's drivers rather than linux's).
[08:46] <dr_willis> and you disable that multiarch why?
[08:46] <mohammadtiti> Ahhha thanks WanderingEnder
[08:46] <Jordan_U> !minimal | mohammadtiti
[08:48] <excelsior> Hey, if we're talking about minimalist stuff, I should brag that Lubuntu has really impressed me with its small footprint and ability to multitask on machines with as little as 256 MB RAM.
[08:48] <lotheac> is there a preseed option for the "download language support" question in the alt-installer?
[08:48] <WanderingEnder> mohammadtiti, I use the minimal on my older servers, it deals with all sorts of screwups of hardware.
[08:48] <keithzg_900> dr_willis: I disabled multiarch because it breaks aptitude, and with all the GUI package managers broken for me in Oneiric, I need aptitude!
[08:48] <mohammadtiti>  I'm new in working with linux. Please give me complete instructions
[08:48] <mohammadtiti> WanderingEnder
[08:49] <mohammadtiti> How can i download that?
[08:49]  * pnorman has a 9 year old server running an old version of OS X that he's afraid to touch for the fear that something will break
[08:49] <keithzg_900> (apt-get just doesn't always cut it)
[08:49] <WanderingEnder> mohammadtiti, visit the link provided by the bot in your browser.
[08:49] <dr_willis> first ive heard of it breaking breaking aptitude
[08:49] <WanderingEnder> Download that ISO. Either 1) Burn it to a CD or 2) use Universal Linux USB Tool to burn it to a USB flash memory stick.
[08:49] <WanderingEnder> !usb
[08:50] <mohammadtiti> gstreamer213, thank you very much.... Changing the drive ports. worked.
[08:50] <dr_willis> keithzg_900:  sounds like youhave deeper problems.
[08:50] <truepurple>  MahaVishnu, you mean "/etc/apt/sources.list"? I don't see natty written anywhere in here
[08:50] <trukosh> Hi, i have 2 lvm-Volumes with data on it. They re not mounted via fstab, but by corosync software when needed. Before i can mount them i have to send "vgchange -ay" to activate the volumegroup by hand. Anyone knows why? Thought udev would activate vg while booting. Or does this just work, when they re mounted automatically via fstab / when needed in boot-Process?
[08:50] <gstreamer213> mohammadtiti, Lol kudos
[08:50] <mohammadtiti> it loaded the kernel.
[08:51] <keithzg_900> dr_willis: probably, but nothing other than Synaptic and Apper are broken, so itm's actually been the smoothest Ubuntu upgrade n this particular machine yet, haha
[08:51] <raven> googleearth + 11.10 - freezing system at any time also in safe graphics mode - why?
[08:51] <mohammadtiti> simple solution for a freaking problem....thank you anyway, gstreamer213
[08:52] <lotheac> trukosh: shot in the dark, but are your pv's set to the correct partition type
[08:52] <WanderingEnder> mohammadtiti, Now superglue the bad port shut! :)
[08:52] <dr_willis> black tape is safer
[08:53] <gstreamer213> like charge your mp3
[08:53] <gstreamer213> x_o might still work for other devices
[08:53] <trukosh>  lotheac Great tip!! Thank you very much!
[08:53] <mohammadtiti> WanderingEnder hell yeah. 100000000% agree
[08:53] <lotheac> trukosh: no problem :)
[08:53] <keithzg> dr_willis: it's worth reiterating, nothing's broken except for the GUI package managers, and it remains ridiculous for an amd64 package to depend on an i386 package.
[08:54] <WanderingEnder> gstreamer213, I wouldn't trust it to charge anything, either. It may short.
[08:54] <mohammadtiti> another question: is there anyone that is working with Ubuntu 11.10?
[08:54] <gstreamer213> Good point
[08:55] <pnorman> mohammadtiti: Lots of people here use 11.10. I use 11.10 server on my server
[08:55] <truepurple>  MahaVishnu, you mean "/etc/apt/sources.list"? I don't see natty written anywhere in here
[08:55] <maum> I see whenever I reboot PC. how can I fix this? http://ompldr.org/vYm1oMQ
[08:56] <gstreamer213> maum change your stored configuration?
[08:56] <maum> gstreamer213, how can I change it?
[08:57] <mohammadtiti> no i don't mean the server edition. the pc version of it. I want to see how is it? and its differences with ubuntu 11.04.
[08:57] <gstreamer213> probably you have a video driver that have a gui
[08:58] <pnorman> mohammadtiti: The biggest change I hear about is the default UI has changed. Some people love it. Some people hate it.
[08:58] <maum> gstreamer213, how can I fix this problem?
[08:58] <truepurple> I was told to use sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin, but it says that it can't find it, "E: Package 'adobe-flashplugin' has no installation candidate" among other things
[08:59] <PJaros> Ubuntu 10.04 here with Gnome-Desktop, when I start my XServer with gdm my autostart applications won't start. If I start it with "startx" everything is fine. Ideas?
[08:59] <gstreamer213> maum did you install a video driver recently?
[08:59] <jrib> truepurple: what ubuntu version?
[09:00] <maum> gstreamer213, yes nvidia gtx580 driver
[09:00] <WanderingEnder> Hmm, is there a 11.10 indicator-applet compatible system-monitor applet?
[09:00] <PJaros> Wanderin1Ender: Yes there is.
[09:00] <gstreamer213> maum, is there a gui for the driver?
[09:00] <truepurple> jrib, 11.04
[09:00] <PJaros> Wanderin1Ender: Just don't remember ... uhm
[09:01] <mohammadtiti> aha. thanks pnorman
[09:01] <maum> gstreamer213, there is nvidia utility for setting display
[09:01] <jrib> truepurple: it's probably a different name in 11.04.  Open software center, search for adobe flash
[09:02] <PJaros> Wanderin1Ender: Try this once http://www.webupd8.org/2011/05/network-memory-and-cpu-usage-indicator.html
[09:02] <gstreamer213> try changing the resolution from there.
[09:03] <gstreamer213> maum, change the resolution to 1920x1080
[09:03] <maum> gstreamer213, now it was set Auto
[09:04] <truepurple> jrib, I found it, but I have been having trouble with flash, and I am following instructions I received that I was hoping would fix it, I don't want to install from the software center because I don't know what that does to the instructions
[09:04] <jrib> truepurple: what instructions?  And what trouble?
[09:04] <keithzg> So strange. Why would Synaptic cause Xorg to use up an entire core's worth of CPU cycles?
[09:05] <gstreamer213> maum, change it and reboot
[09:06] <maum> gstreamer213, ok but when I changed it, the system is working slow
[09:06] <maum> gstreamer213, i don't know why and it automatically changed as Auto
[09:06] <gstreamer213> maum, oh.. do you know what resolution it is now?
[09:07] <maum> gstreamer213, now it is Auto.
[09:07] <maum> gstreamer213, there is no slow performance.
[09:07] <gstreamer213> maum, take a screenshot and check its resolution
[09:07] <master> i have face problem to install t/v in my ubuntu 11.10
[09:07] <maum> gstreamer213, but if I try to change it , the system will be slow.
[09:08] <truepurple> jrib, the graphics don't update properly under flash, and I can't get into settings to change things to try to fix it that way
[09:08] <gstreamer213> maum, take a screenshot(printscreen) save the picture, right click it -> properties -> image
[09:09] <jrib> truepurple: and what instructions?
[09:09] <master> how to install   team viewer in ubuntu
[09:09] <truepurple> jrib, " sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-installer && sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-downloader. then edit /etc/apt/sources.list remove the # from before the 2 lines under partner repo. save the file. do a sudo apt-get update then do a sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin then in a terminal type flash-player-properties"
[09:09] <master> 11.100
[09:09] <Besogon> Does anyone remember how to switch off "print$" folder in samba?
[09:09] <WanderingEnder> master, have you visited Teamviewer's website? If there's a .deb file, run that.
[09:09] <master> ya do
[09:09] <master> three time
[09:10] <master> its show error
[09:10] <WanderingEnder> master, what is the exact error?
[09:10] <keithzg> truepurple: all those instructions are telling you to do is remove flash, enable the partner repo, and then install the "adobe-flashplugin" package, which is the Adobe Flash entry in the Software Center.
[09:11] <keithzg> As long as you remove the packages, add the partner repos, and then (after updating your package lists) install flash again, shouldn't matter what order you do it.
[09:11] <dudeami> I have a questions related to lm-sensors. Right now I have the mobo reporting 69C (it8721-isa-0290) as the CPU temp, but the processor itself (k10temp-pci-00c3) reporting 52C... Which should I listen too?
[09:11] <keithzg> Err, by order I mean by which method (sorry, tired)
[09:11] <master> big problem is that my software center hang
[09:11] <truepurple> keithzg, how is that different from just removing flash then installing adobe flash directly?
[09:12] <master> and after
[09:12] <pnorman__> and there goes my server under heavy IO again :(
[09:12] <WanderingEnder> Also, silly question. Did anyone here watch (and like ) Eureka's Christmas Special?
[09:12] <keithzg> truepurple: err, probably not any different, but what do you mean by "directly"?
[09:12] <master> minute its support
[09:12] <ct529> pnorman__: yes, same here
[09:13] <WanderingEnder> Right, wrong channel, ignore that. ;) Thought this was #Reddit
[09:13] <master> Open with Ubuntu Software Center (default)
[09:13] <pnorman__> ct529: it's a problem specific to my sata card it seems. SiI 3124 chipset, second one (first was RMA'ed for a dead port)
[09:13] <master> When Software Center opens, click ‘Install’
[09:13] <master> but software not support
[09:16] <truepurple> keithzg, I mean going to the adobe flash site and using their download to install
[09:18] <WanderingEnder> truepurple, why go out of Ubuntu's package manager to install?
[09:18] <keithzg> truepurple: do they provide a .deb file? Otherwise, it's no different at the moment, but differs in that the system will keep track of the package and install newer versions if/when they become available in the repositories.
[09:18] <keithzg> truepurple: plus, then it's far easier to install and uninstall. Always less messy to have the package manager keep track of things.
[09:18] <truepurple> WanderingEnder, because flash isn't updating its graphics right, and I want a install that does
[09:19] <truepurple> keithzg, the download adds a link to software center to install, I don't know if it adds a .deb file or not
[09:20] <excelsior> woot
[09:20] <kamilnadeem> I am having some issues with running multiple apps as the ram consumption is been very high in Kubuntu 11.10 , is there a way to tackle it . I have 2 gb ram +2b swap but the system feels sluggish at some time . like right now I am running Firefox 8, chromium 15, Chokoq, Quasssel an 0.9 gb of ram is being used ?
[09:21] <keithzg> truepurple: I just checked, yeah, all it does in theory is add the partner repo to the repository lists, so it's no different than adding the lines to /etc/apt/sources.list yourself.
[09:22] <truepurple> keithzg, does that mean it updates?
[09:22] <keithzg> truepurple: Yeah, as long as Adobe deigns to push the newer versions into the repository.
[09:22] <fff> hello
[09:23] <truepurple> keithzg, so what I did in the instructions I was given was no different then using the file from adobe to install in the software center?
[09:24] <sgo11> hi, in gnome shell theme preview png file, it always shows a virtual keyboard. what is it? how to launch it?
[09:24] <keithzg> truepurple: as far as I can tell, yeah, no difference at all.
[09:25] <muhammed> hello
[09:25] <muhammed> how to change login background image
[09:25] <muhammed> ???
[09:26] <truepurple> keithzg, do I need to shut down all flash before installing flash?
[09:26] <muhammed> can any1 help??
[09:27] <Twinkletoes> muhammed: Doe sthis help?  http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1853558.html
[09:28] <Twinkletoes> Morning folks.  I can't get ip forwarding to work properly.  I'm setting up a gateway machine (some network details here: http://pastebin.com/dzsyk29Z) but using a client machine on the <IP_ADDRESS> network, I can only ping the "furthest" nic on the gateway.  For anything beyond that (going onto the <IP_ADDRESS> network) I get no response.  Any ideas?
[09:29] <WanderingEnder> How do I set the UI theme's highlight color? Its black text on very dark background, even in the white Ambience theme. Driving me mad.
[09:30] <keithzg> truepurple: naw, whatever flash is running may keep running, but the fact that it's open won't matter one way or another for replacing the actual install.
[09:30] <muhammed> Twinkletoes: thanx...i'll try
[09:30] <muhammed> ...

[09:32] <MeirD> hello
[09:32] <MeirD> how can i list all IPS in my network from the command shell?
[09:32] <muhammed> how to check current permission of a folder using command???
[09:33] <Twinkletoes> muhammed: ls -al ?
[09:33]  * keithzg sometimes feels like #ubuntu is just full of troll questions, yeesh
[09:33] <Twinkletoes> keithzg: :(
[09:34] <Twinkletoes> MeirD: You can't, but you can test each one but that's no guarantee it's not there
[09:34] <Twinkletoes> MeirD: Have a look at 'nmap' too
[09:35] <MeirD> but when you say "each one". where do i get a list of the possible IPS?
[09:35] <MeirD> ok thnx
[09:35] <Twinkletoes> MeirD: That's basic networking
[09:35] <MeirD> I thought so :(
[09:36] <Twinkletoes> MeirD: In it's simplest form, if your own network is 192.168.1.x with a subnet mask of <IP_ADDRESS> (or /24) then you should test every IP from <IP_ADDRESS> to <IP_ADDRESS> (0 is the actual network address, and 255 is the broadcast address)
[09:36] <deej1976> MeirD: What are you trying to find/archieve?
[09:37] <MeirD> which ips are on my network, and if they are pingable
[09:37] <ottermaton> make me a sandwich!
[09:38] <Twinkletoes> MeirD: ping is only a crude test to see if something's there, and depending on client machine settings, it may not respond to a ping (eg. firewall)
[09:38] <MeirD> I know
[09:38] <ottermaton> arlo, make me a sandwich
[09:38] <gstreamer213> ottermaton wrong channel. try the android

[09:38] <CrazyThinker> find . -name .svn -exec rm -rf {}\; find: missing argument to `-exec'
[09:38] <Twinkletoes> MeirD: Your best bet (if you don't want to walk to every machine) is to use nmap
[09:38] <CrazyThinker> What is that error?
[09:39] <deej1976> MeirD: Have a read "man nmap" it gives examples of network scanning
[09:39] <ottermaton> arlo, sudo make me a sandwich

[09:40] <sgo11> hi, new to gnome3. in this screenshot: http://www.pasteall.org/pic/show.php?id=22122  what is theexclamatory mark for? why does the shell theme grayed out?
[09:42] <pangolin> sgo11: hovering your mouse over it or perhaps clicking on it might give some info
[09:43] <sgo11> pangolin, thanks. yeah. shell user theme extension not enabled. no idea what does that mean....
[09:43] <sgo11> oh. I just find out how to launch that virtual keyboard in gnome3. very cool. :)
[09:46] <sgo11> does anyone know what shell user-theme extension is? do I need to have it in order to use gnome shell theme downloaded online later?
[09:47] <ServerTechLaptop> Okay so I need a file which is on my Ubuntu 11.10 which does not boot with gnome and boots in command line. I have files on my second hard drive which i have to copy to a windows laptop. I probablt want to do it through the network. Instructions?
[09:48] <gstreamer213> sgoll, proabably seeing as that is what it is..
[09:48] <gstreamer213> sgoll, your problem is probably you dont  have a theme downloaded yet
[09:49] <sgo11> gstreamer213, :) yeah. I am trying to download one. just study how to use gnome 3. it seems not many people use gnome3 here.
[09:49] <deej1976> sgo11: Have you got gnome-themes, gnome-themes-extras, gnome-themes-more installed?
[09:50] <truepurple> keithzg, well it didn't fix the flash updating graphics issue after all that
[09:50] <sgo11> deej1976, when I search gnome-themes in software center, I can only see gnome-themes. where can I get gnome-themes-extras, gnome-themes-more? which repo?
[09:51] <deej1976> sgo11: They are in there as well, otherwise open a terminal and do apt-cache search gnome-themes
[09:51] <sgo11> deej1976, oh. I saw them. I just need to click "show 5 technical items" link. they are hidden by default in software center. thanks.
[09:54] <WanderingEnder> OK, is Ubuntu dumping banshee?
[09:54] <iceroot> WanderingEnder: in 12.04, yes
[09:54] <iceroot> WanderingEnder: but only as default-app
[09:54] <WanderingEnder> What are we going to?
[09:55] <iceroot> WanderingEnder: #ubuntu+1 for 12.04 discussions
[09:57] <Cradam> whats wrong with banshee]
[09:58] <arlo> Anyone can help me to set local mail up in ubuntu?
[09:58] <Cradam> just like i said whats wrong with evolution
[09:58] <iceroot> Cradam: banshee is using mono
[09:58] <iceroot> Cradam: and because of mono is bad it will be removed by default in the future
[09:58] <Cradam> iceroot: oh
[09:59] <WanderingEnder> ... is that why the damn thing stops sometimes and is "thinking?"
[09:59] <iceroot> WanderingEnder: no
[09:59] <WanderingEnder> Do you know why it stops sometimes and is thinking?
[09:59] <iceroot> WanderingEnder: bad == non-free
[10:00] <WanderingEnder> Well, yes. I wasn't suggesting its being removed for "thinking," anything non-free is kinda lol as a default in a FOSS OS.
[10:00] <iceroot> WanderingEnder: correct
[10:00] <Cradam> mono is free
[10:01] <WanderingEnder> Did MS release .NET in a OSS license?
[10:01] <stinkfist> is there a proxy add on on firfox?
[10:01] <Cradam> nope, but what has that got to do with an OSS version of it
[10:02] <Cradam> *alternative to
[10:02] <Cradam> "Mono is an open source implementation of Microsoft's .NET Framework"
[10:03] <ChaiTiger> Ok I upgraded to the new Ubuntu and I no longer have a mouse cursor and my screen resolution won't go any higher than 1024*768
[10:03] <prouca> oi
[10:03] <ChaiTiger> First thing's first - How do I get my mouse pointer back? I had it when I booted and now it's gone
[10:04] <Cradam> i use skype, because i dont have any qualms about using non open source software
[10:04] <Cradam> ChaiTiger: have you tried a reboot?
[10:04] <ChaiTiger> Well that may get my mouse cursor back for a bit but I would rather fix the root cause of the problem
[10:04] <Cradam> well just reboot X should do
[10:05] <ChaiTiger> Can I do it without killing my open apps?
[10:06] <Cradam> nope, btw my cursor dissapears if i leave my mouse idle, im sure you ave tried that though
[10:06] <stinkfist> what does squid do exactly
[10:07] <stinkfist> can someone explain this to me in a easy quick way?
[10:07] <deej1976> !squid
[10:07] <ChaiTiger> Cradam: It's worse than that
[10:08] <ChaiTiger> I never had any of these problems with 11.04. The screen resolution was right, I had no issues with my mouse
[10:08] <ChaiTiger> Very disappointed so far :(
[10:09] <Cradam> ChaiTiger: laptop or desktop?
[10:09] <ChaiTiger> Cradam: Laptop, Toshiba
[10:10] <Cradam> ChaiTiger: do you have a button on your keyboard or anywhere else that looks like a hand touching a trackpad?
[10:10] <ChaiTiger> Cradam: Yep, tried that
[10:10] <deployment> how can I tell if my ubuntu 10.4.2 OS is 64-bit or 32-bit?
[10:11] <deej1976> deployment: uname -m
[10:11] <deej1976> deployment: or uname -p
[10:11] <deployment> -m says x86_64
[10:12] <deployment> -p syas unknown
[10:12] <ChaiTiger> 64 bit
[10:12] <Cradam> deployment: notice the 64 on the end?
[10:13] <gllera_> how I can know all the users groups from terminal?
[10:13] <deployment> indeed, but I also notice the x86, does that just mean it can do both as 64-bit. due to if it was a 32-bit it wouldn't run the 64-bit stuff.
[10:13] <grandon> one on ?
[10:14] <ChaiTiger> Ok I'm going to try a reboot
[10:14] <ChaiTiger> I'll be back!
[10:15] <geirha> gllera_: groups
[10:15] <gllera_> geirha thanks!
[10:15] <Cradam> gllera_: either that or ls /home
[10:15] <shomon> hi, how do I find out what apt-package a library is in?
[10:15] <shomon> in this case, where is fltk-config?
[10:15] <shomon> in ubuntu 10.10
[10:16] <llutz> shomon: apt-file search
[10:16] <llutz> !find fltk-config
[10:16] <shomon> thanks :)
[10:16] <shomon> ah wow, ubottu knows all
[10:16] <llutz> !find fltk-config maverick
[10:16] <llutz> shomon: there you go
[10:16] <shomon> ah this is actually 11.04 sorry
[10:17] <shomon> !find fltk-config lucid
[10:17] <shomon> !find fltk-config natty
[10:17] <ChaiTiger> Ok mouse is back, perhaps a bit of a red herring there
[10:17] <sagaci> has the ubuntu mono font been backported to 10.04?
[10:17] <ChaiTiger> How about my screen resolution? How can I get my screens native resolution?
[10:18] <om26er> sagaci, that was an exception, a sabdfl exception ;-)

[10:24] <ChaiTiger> Ok this is really obscure
[10:24] <stinkfist> kind of yes
[10:24] <stinkfist> i want a proxy
[10:24] <ChaiTiger> To get my screen setup right I had to run an app called "Jockey" which allows installation of "restricted" drivers

[10:24] <deej1976> stinkfist: Do you have a proxy server already to use?
[10:25] <stinkfist> no...
[10:25] <stinkfist> i use the free ones on the internet
[10:25] <stinkfist> i thought maybe ... there is something like that

[10:25] <bodzio> witam wszystkichh

[10:25] <sgo11> deej1976, after installing gnome-temes, gnome-themes-extras, gnome-themes-more. the shell user-theme extension is still disabled.
[10:25] <keithzg> Using an app to install restricted drivers is obscure? ahahahaha

[10:27] <stinkfist> thanks
[10:27] <deej1976> sgo11: A quick look on a few forums showed the gnome3.2 was rushed out, and shell themes will be enabled in 3.4. I'm up for being corrected.
[10:28] <sgo11> deej1976, got it. thanks. but what is different between gtk+ theme and shell theme?
[10:29] <deej1976> sgo11: Sorry, I'm not sure.
[10:31] <raven_> googleearth + 11.10 - freezing system at any time also in safe graphics mode - why?
[10:31] <raven_> 11.10 .gvfs - where are mounted ssh drives?
[10:31] <sgo11> deej1976, no worries. thanks a lot for your reply. I am just confused. in gnome-look.org, most gnome-shell themes say they support gnome-shell 3.2. Currently, I think I am using ubuntu's ambiance theme. it works fine. not sure what are the difference. :)
[10:32] <sgo11> I will simply pick one in gnome-look.org to see if I can install them and use them properly. haven't downloaded any yet.

[10:36] <geirha> raven_: It starts with a . so it'll be hidden by default
[10:36] <conntrack> Hey
[10:36] <raven_> geirha, yes it is not there
[10:38] <geirha> raven_: Odd. Does   ps -ef | grep '[g]vfs-fuse'    show any processes?
[10:38] <arfah> cara ngedit ubuntu gmana?
[10:39] <raven_> geirha, nothing what looks like a mounted folder
[10:40] <geirha> raven_: So it doesn't output anything?
[10:40] <raven_> geirha, right
[10:42] <geirha> raven_: It should've been running. I don't know what could be wrong.
[10:42] <raven_> geirha, hm did you upgrade or is it a new install?
[10:43] <sagaci> also, is LibreOffice backported to 10.04.3, or do you have to get it via a ppa
[10:43] <geirha> raven_: That one has a new install.
[10:44] <iceroot> sagaci: have a look at the backports

[10:47] <geirha> raven_: is gvfsd currently running?
[10:49] <raven_> geirha, i think so i have connection to sshfs
[10:50] <geirha> raven_: oh wait, sshfs? that's not used with gvfs
[10:51] <geirha> raven_: I thought you had connected via nautilus's file -> connect to server...
[10:51] <raven_> geirha, sftp then - i connected via ssh://user@host/

[10:55] <deej1976> trapni: apt-get install linux-source ?
[10:55] <deej1976> trapni: sudo apt-get install linux-source ?
[10:56] <trapni> deej1976: ai, thanks :)

[10:58] <metallico> got it here http://webdev.sco.biz/yjh/ but not on the joomla one (my guess is there is a rule somewhere that breaks it)
[11:00] <metallico> sorry wrong chan :)
[11:00] <arlo> hello anyone can help me to set a php local?
[11:00] <arlo> with teameiwer?
[11:00] <geirha> raven_: I don't know I'm afraid. I don't know how it's put together. For me it has always just worked ...
[11:00] <arlo> php mail local

[11:03] <raven_> googleearth + 11.10 - freezing system at any time also in safe graphics mode - why?
[11:06] <raven_> googleearth + 11.10 - freezing system at any time also in safe graphics mode - why?
[11:07] <trapni> raven_: maybe because it's using any hw accelerated 3d that your graphics drivers sucks at ;)
[11:07] <ledzgio> hi all
[11:08] <ledzgio> does anyone could help me with a driver problem? it is an ethernet card, atheros AR8151 driver atl1c
[11:08] <ledzgio> it gets disconnected very often
[11:08] <raven_> trapni, how to solve that
[11:08] <ledzgio> and it happen with 3.0.14, 3.1 and 3.2-rc4 kernels
[11:10] <trapni> raven_: too many different ways for too many different types of errors. basically, you're always fine with a nvidia card and its binary driver. I dunno about your setup, but that's what I'd recommend; OTOH, just don't use the OpenGL-mode, or make it software-rasterizing, or ... you know :)
[11:10] <raven_> trapni, i have all that
[11:12] <trapni> raven_: look at your kernel logs (/var/log/*)
[11:13] <ledzgio> nothing?
[11:14] <ledzgio> atl1c driver??
[11:16] <Joners> Can anyone suggest a way to send email via an smtp server?
[11:17] <deej1976> Joners: !info ssmtp
[11:18] <deej1976> !info ssmtp | Joners:
[11:18] <Joners> cool thank you for that!
[11:22] <theadmin> muhammed: Not currently possible. I don't think lightdm supports theming just yet.
[11:23] <muhammed> theadmin: lightdm can be used to change theme images
[11:24] <theadmin> muhammed: Um, just like I said, no. Lightdm doesn't support themes YET.
[11:24] <theadmin> muhammed: Might at some point
[11:24] <theadmin> Or at least so I heard
[11:24] <muhammed> hmm
[11:24] <muhammed> k
[11:24] <muhammed> theadmin:thanx
[11:24] <muhammed> :)
[11:27] <joep_> Hi, I have a question regarding Xubuntu (version Oneiric) that I put on an USB-stick for starting a system.
[11:28] <shomon> !ask
[11:28] <joep_> It start a system but doesn't go any farterh than checking the battery state which for a desktop system is pretty useless. Has anybody an idea how to resolve this?
[11:29] <theadmin> joep_: How did you create the USB stick? Likely the wrong way...
[11:29] <is_null> hi all, anybody managed to get thunderbird to be stable ? what email client do you use ?
[11:29] <shomon> I'm not a laptop technician, but maybe if you try with another USB stick, and then try without the batter, just plugged into the mains
[11:29] <theadmin> is_null: Try mutt :D
[11:29] <shomon> is_null, yes I use thunderbird
[11:29] <joep_> theadmin, thanks for your quick reply.
[11:30] <theadmin> is_null: I myself use the GMail's web-ui
[11:30] <shomon> sylpheed is more to my liking
[11:30] <is_null> shomon: what optimisations do you recommend ?
[11:30] <joep_> I did it using the ubuntu utility for that from UBUNTU 10.04
[11:30] <truepurple> Can anyone help me recover a session?
[11:30] <shomon> is_null, I use only a translation plug-in, and turn off scripts. is that what you mean?
[11:30] <theadmin> joep_: Oh, that won't work if it's an older version, um... Newer images (starting with Oneric) no longer work with that I beleive.
[11:30] <theadmin> joep_: But, you can dd them.
[11:31] <ciunix> hi all I'd like to install some gems in my ubuntu desktop.  How is that bad?
[11:32] <shomon> ah there is also #thunderbird
[11:33] <is_null> seems like there is a lot to do: http://www.smallbusinesstech.net/more-complicated-instructions/web-and-email/Optimizing-Thunderbird-to-work-with-a-Gmail-IMAP
[11:33] <theadmin> joep_: sudo dd if=something.iso of=/dev/sdb # From basically any Linux install, where "sdb" is your USB stick
[11:33] <is_null> thanks for your feedback
[11:33] <massimo123> hi
[11:33] <is_null> theadmin: bs=512 makes it much faster :)
[11:33] <muhammed> my system has affected with virus...i double clicked on a exe file.wine started it..how cai remove those viruses from linux
[11:34] <joep_> theadmin, No, that's OK but how to do it right? Using dd to write to an USB-stick? Or is there a small tool to perform it (like in CD-write).
[11:34] <is_null> well there is unetbootin
[11:34] <theadmin> joep_: dd works
[11:35] <theadmin> joep_: From Windows, I think LiLi works best
[11:35] <is_null> i thought dd worked only with isos which support both isolinux and syslinux, i'm unsure
[11:35] <ledzgio> anyone with ethernet driver issues?
[11:36] <almoxarife> !clamav | muhammed
[11:37] <almoxarife> !info clamav | muhammed
[11:37] <theadmin> is_null: I heard it works with 11.10 and later ISOs, not sure why
[11:37] <joep_> theadmin, I only use windows for a special program (FINALE) that won't run on Linux. Otherwise I haven't used it for over nearly 20 years (I started with Ultrix).
[11:37] <deej1976> !anyone | ledzgio
[11:38] <theadmin> joep_: lol, then um, why use Ubuntu if it's all that bad? Can't you run something like Gentoo or Arch or, hell, FreeBSD?
[11:38] <muhammed> ubottu: how it can be istalled??
[11:38] <ledzgio> ok my Atheros AR8151 ethernet card get disconnected very often
[11:38] <ledzgio> driver used is atl1c
[11:38] <ledzgio> ubuntu 11.10
[11:38] <ledzgio> I have tried kernel 3.0.14, 3.1 and 3.2-rc4
[11:38] <is_null> theadmin: dd is good with isos that support isolinux, and unetbootin with isos that support syslinux i think, there's something like that behind the scene
[11:39] <ledzgio> does anyone know how to fix it?
[11:39] <deej1976> ledzgio: Have you looked at the wifi trouble shooting documentation?
[11:40] <muhammed> ubottu: :)
[11:40] <joep_> theadmin, You understood me wrong. I have used different Unixes (Suse, RedHat, etc) but Ubuntu up to 10.04 suits me perfect. Only Unity is not my cup-of-tea and Xubuntu us iagin very much OK.
[11:40] <_SHO_> How do I install a .deb package into a specific directory??
[11:40] <theadmin> _SHO_: You do NOT do that.
[11:40] <is_null> i think anybody who learns unity keyboard shortcut can only *love* unity
[11:41] <ledzgio> its not wifi but ethernet
[11:41] <_SHO_> why not?
[11:41] <theadmin> joep_: Yeah I hate Unity too but, okay, I understand. I myself am an Arch user :D
[11:41] <is_null> i myself am *very* difficult when it comes to window managers, i've used dwm for years ... but hey finnaly unity works
[11:41] <ledzgio> but yes, I haven't found any solution to to this
[11:41] <is_null> i use arch on servers and poor hardware, great distro!
[11:41] <joep_> theadmin, Well, it has its charms!!
[11:42] <muhammed> how to create user account in IRC
[11:42] <is_null> unity *is* a *big* step forward in window management for the masses
[11:42] <catphish> is there a way i can list what PPAs are active in ubuntu, and list packages in them?
[11:42] <is_null> muhammed: /query nickserv help
[11:42] <Myrtti> !register | muhammed
[11:43] <catphish> i've installed a PPA but it doesn't appear to be having any effect, i just want to check it's active and see what's in it
[11:43] <joep_> theadmin, with dd you mean to dd the .iso file to the USb-stck?
[11:43] <theadmin> joep_: Yeah, basically
[11:43] <almoxarife> catphish: yes, look at synaptic
[11:43] <is_null> i admit i miss automatic window tiling from dwm, i hope it will make its way into Unity!
[11:43] <catphish> almoxarife: i only have CLI
[11:43] <theadmin> is_null: Doubtful... Unity is a stacking wm
[11:43] <joep_> theadmin, What you mean basically?
[11:44] <theadmin> joep_: Well, I mean yeah, that'd work, unless there's some weirdness to watch out for that I'm unaware of
[11:44] <is_null> theadmin: well there are shortcuts to move a window to the edges and corners so all it lacks is some automatism
[11:44] <deej1976> catphish: sudo apt-get update , you should see the ppa update
[11:44] <theadmin> is_null: Well yeah, I understand that
[11:44] <is_null> say i ctrl+click several items in the launcher it would tile them
[11:45] <catphish> deej1976: Ign http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-virt/ppa/ubuntu/ lucid/main Translation-en_GB
[11:45] <is_null> or ctrl+shortcut(Mod4+[0-9]) of course ^^
[11:45] <joep_> OK, I see. Well I have sufficient sticks lying around. I need it to rescue aHD that I now have in the freezer, because it made that ominous clicking sound!.
[11:45] <catphish> what does Ign mean?
[11:45] <deej1976> catphish: Ignored
[11:45] <dj_smilee> hello, I've just update my server to 11.10 and i'm reconfiguring my dhcp server, it would appear dhcp3-server is deprecated and its using dhcpd again, but I have duplicate configurations.. any ideas how to safely confirm which one is running and wether I can remove the old config?
[11:45] <catphish> hmm :(
[11:46] <theadmin> dj_smilee: pgrep dhcpd && pgrep dhcp3-server?
[11:46] <catphish> maybe it's just already up to date? or is that actually a potential problem?
[11:47] <theadmin> joep_: Do you mind to /query me?
[11:47] <theadmin> catphish: Nah happens all the time, it's normal
[11:47] <milligan> If I'm running 32bit ubuntu , and I have 4 gigs of RAM, will it be useless to add more RAM to it ?
[11:47] <theadmin> milligan: Correct.
[11:47] <catphish> so is there a way to find out what has been downloaded from that PPA?
[11:47] <milligan> damnit :P
[11:47] <dj_smilee> theadmin: dhcpd    10133  0.0  0.1   4704  2520 ?        Ss   Nov28   0:00 /usr/sbin/dhcpd -q -pf /var/run/dhcp-server/
[11:47] <joep_> theadmin, I don't understand what you mean by /query?
[11:47] <catphish> as far as i can tell, its not actually working, ie packages in it arent being upgraded
[11:47] <theadmin> dj_smilee: Well, dhcpcd is running
[11:48] <theadmin> joep_: Um, open a private message window with me... Or something like that, that's normally done by the /query command in IRC...
[11:48] <theadmin> dj_smilee: Err, dhcpd
[11:48] <theadmin> dj_smilee: Keep messing them up
[11:48] <dj_smilee> theadmin: I have dhcp3 in /etc/ still
[11:48] <dj_smilee> theadmin: with seemingly duplicate configs
[11:48] <theadmin> dj_smilee: Might be safe enough to remove, probably leftovers xD
[11:48] <joep_> theadmin, Oh, I see. I'm not the known with IRC as I use it seldom. I'll try that.
[11:49] <theadmin> dj_smilee: Try to move it somewhere first and see if stuff still works?
[11:49] <dj_smilee> if I try and remove dhcp3 with apt it marks the ISC dhcp server for removal too
[11:49] <dj_smilee> which is the current one I believe
[11:49] <ewgeny_> hi
[11:49] <dj_smilee> yeah I'll give that a go theadmin, just wish it was tidier, you know? ;)
[11:50] <theadmin> dj_smilee: lol yeah that'd make sense
[11:51] <muhammed> how to change irc password??
[11:51] <theadmin> muhammed: /msg nickserv set password newpassword
[11:52] <ewgeny_> what i can do with ext3. now it undefined
[11:54] <dj_smilee> this is very confusing
[11:54] <dj_smilee> lots of conflicting documentation
[11:55] <AdvoWork> hi there, anyone got any suggestions to this, every spreadsheet i copy from open office spreadsheet, and paste into open office word processor, it comes through as an ole object rather than the actual data. Any suggestions please, its only started doing this recently..

[12:02] <pangolin> !ot | html
[12:02] <html> sorry wrong channel
[12:02] <html> later
[12:04] <almoxarife> what is the equiv of gnome-system-monitor in kubuntu?
[12:05] <theadmin> almoxarife: None by default really, you can install htop which is pretty universal
[12:06] <html> oh i remember what i was here for ,  i cant seem to get a sd mini to mount , i put an adapter on to make it an  sd card,,, but alas  still nothing
[12:06] <ceegee> hi there
[12:06] <html> hi
[12:06] <ceegee> I would like to start guake terminal automaticly with my gnome session, how can I do that?
[12:07] <ceegee> I am using unity desktop, not gnome, sorry
[12:08] <theadmin> ceegee: WinKey -> Startup Applications (search for it) -> Add it
[12:08] <html> huh? like an auto runn program ,liken to windows? ceegee
[12:09] <ceegee> yes
[12:09] <RossDoughty> Hey all
[12:09] <html> hui
[12:10] <html> RossDoughty,  hi
[12:10] <pangolin> ceegee: sudo cp /usr/share/applications/guake.desktop /etc/xdg/autostart/
[12:10] <ceegee> theadmin: I can not find autostart applications
[12:10] <html> oh i remember what i was here for ,  i cant seem to get a sd mini to mount , i put an adapter on to make it an  sd card,,, but alas  still nothing,, i would like to mount this micro sd  so i can put linux on it,,
[12:11] <theadmin> ceegee: It's called "Startup Applications". You're searching it wrong.
[12:11] <RaTTuS|BIG> html  - sudo fdisk -l - is it mentioned
[12:11] <theadmin> html: Linux on a sd card? How that's supposed to boot?
[12:11] <ceegee> theadmin: thank you, now I found it
[12:12] <RaTTuS|BIG> theadmin - works for me .... as the sd card is bootable in the bios
[12:13] <html> ive done it before  but its the micro sd card that you mUSTT fight with , and that can be alot..
[12:13] <MeirD> Is there anyway i can get the full parh of a process in the "ps" output?
[12:13] <MeirD> i.e.,, I have a string with full path to the process /a/home/somedir/script.sh
[12:13] <ichbinder> hello. For the first time, I started "Additional Drivers" in my Ubuntu 11.04, using gnome 2 as WM. There, it shows "NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version current) [Recommended]" and it says: "This driver is activated but not currently in use." What exactly does that mean? Will it use the driver, whenever an application needs 3D rendering? I tried glxgears, but that runs  not smoothly at all... :(
[12:14] <Anomie21> Anyone using Pidgin in Ubuntu? (11.10) How the hell do I see the buddy list? Driving me mad
[12:14] <MeirD> I want to know if it is running, but the ps output only uses relative path... ./script.sh
[12:14] <iceroot> MeirD: ps aux is using absolut paths
[12:14] <geirha> MeirD: Are you trying to make sure only one instance of your script is running at a time?
[12:15] <MeirD> yes
[12:15] <almoxarife> Anomie21: see the icon on the top bar?
[12:15] <iceroot> MeirD: if you want what geirha said use pid/lock-files
[12:15] <MeirD> I am trying to see if the process is running
[12:15] <MeirD> I have its full path
[12:15] <geirha> MeirD: Then see http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ/045 for a better approach
[12:15] <Anomie21> almoxarife: yep
[12:15] <ceegee> is it possible to sort the order of my icons in the quickstart bar on the left side of my desktop?
[12:15] <MeirD> I only have /a/home/somedir/script.sh and I need to see if it runs
[12:15] <almoxarife> Anomie21: click on it
[12:15] <html> RaTTuS|BIG,  thanks , so how do i know it worked? and is there an app  for this  stuff?
[12:15] <Anomie21> almoxarife: yeh, then what?
[12:16] <MeirD> I dont care if it is running more than one instance, sorry
[12:16] <MeirD> I just need to know if it runs
[12:16] <MeirD> using its absolute path
[12:16] <almoxarife> Anomie21: should see the buddy list
[12:16] <Sidewinder1> ichbinder, Not sure but perhaps you need to reboot to get it "in use?"
[12:16] <Anomie21> almoxarife: Nope, that just brings up 'Pidgin Internet Messenger' in the top panel and lets me select options (like new instant message, etc)
[12:17] <geirha> MeirD: The abosulte path is not stored in the process table
[12:17] <MeirD> oh ok
[12:17] <MeirD> thanks
[12:17] <almoxarife> Anomie21: left click
[12:17] <ichbinder> MeirD: couldn't you try to send kill 0 to your process, as in http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ/042
[12:18] <ichbinder> Sidewinder1: hm, don't think so as this system is not newly installed but running since months. I just realized, that somethings wrong... and I think it worked a while ago...
[12:18] <arlo> anyone can help me with php mail ?
[12:18] <Anomie21> almoxarife: yep, thats what I'm doing.
[12:19] <deej1976> arlo: what is the problem?
[12:19] <Anomie21> almoxarife: The only way I can do it currently is to close all chats I'm in currently and then do it
[12:19] <almoxarife> Anomie21: works for me, no idea why it would be different for you
[12:20] <ichbinder> also: glxgears - info gives me this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/762636/ and that looks like my graphics card and the driver is used...?!
[12:20] <arlo> deej1976
[12:20] <arlo> i have a ubuntu server, my phpmail not working
[12:20] <arlo> can help me with this problem with teamwiewer is to 2 seconds
[12:20] <Sidewinder1> ichbinder, Once you've activated it, if it says "not in use', I don't think a reboot would hurt; just a suggestion and what I would try in your situation, but, I'm running 10.04.
[12:22] <KFP> Is there a way to temporarily disable PulseAudio without removing it?
[12:23] <ichbinder> Sidewinder1: hm, yeah that sounds logical. But I didn't activate it myself! I just started "additional drivers" and there these messages were.... so I never hit the "activate" button or so
[12:23] <ichbinder> Sidewinder1: i now removed it and will activate it myself again...
[12:23] <ichbinder> Sidewinder1: maybe that helps... :)
[12:24] <Sidewinder1> ichbinder, Good luck!
[12:24] <deej1976> arlo: What is errors are you
[12:24] <ichbinder> Sidewinder1: thanks. ^^
[12:24] <pigiman> hey, is it possible to split my desktop toolbar when using to monitors, so I would see that open files\apps each one on his own desktop toolbar? sorry for bad english\explanation ;o
[12:24] <deej1976> arlo: What errors are you see/getting in the apache logs
[12:24] <arlo> is log file?
[12:24] <arlo> what is log file name
[12:25] <html> any known sd card apps?
[12:26] <RaTTuS|BIG> html - what does sudo fdisk -l say
[12:26] <deej1976> arlo: Which web server are you running?
[12:26] <arlo> Ubuntu
[12:26] <arlo> ubuntu 10.lts
[12:27] <deej1976> arlo: No that's the linux distro, Apache is a web server
[12:27] <KFP> Is there a way to temporarily disable PulseAudio without removing it?
[12:27] <slugzzz> Hey all, I am having a silly issue. When I maximize a window in ubuntu 11.10 (particularilly a 'window'), I can't seem to minimize out of it again... I can't get the max-min-resize bar to pop up again... any ideas?
[12:27] <html> RaTTuS|BIG,  nothing
[12:27] <arlo> yes i have apache2
[12:27] <RaTTuS|BIG> ok - tail -f /var/log/syslog and replug it in - anything gets mentioned
[12:28] <deej1976> arlo: Log files are in: /var/log/apache2
[12:32] <KFP> slugzzz: It's a bit different than in older Ubuntus and other OSes. The min/max buttons are only shown when you move the mouse cursor to the top bar.
[12:33] <ichbinder> Sidewinder1: nope, didn't work. Same comment in "Additional Drivers"
[12:33] <Sidewinder1> Rats!
[12:34] <ichbinder> is it possible that my driver is set to "currently not in use" because it's not used by X? Do I have to do "$ sudo nvidia-xconfig" or so?
[12:35] <html> RaTTuS|BIG,  http://pastebin.com/qYf4qPgw
[12:35] <as2122> Can I get gdm to launch the .xsessions file in my home directory without a custom .desktop file in /usr/share/xsessions? I don't have sudo powers on this system.
[12:36] <Phreak_> Hi niggers.
[12:36] <Phreak_> ikonia: Hi nigger.
[12:37] <Girffe> I was installing 11.10 on my computer, and it said there was an error in the installation. Now, when I try to open the boot menu from my BIOS (before booting into win7/ubuntu), it either restarts immediately or brings me to the menu but doesn't accept key input
[12:38] <Girffe> Can the installation somehow screw with your BIOS?
[12:38] <pangolin> no
[12:38] <Girffe> Any ideas, then?
[12:38] <Girffe> because I was able to use the menu before to use the installation usb
[12:38] <Girffe> then, after trying to install it and it not working, the menu doesn't work anymore
[12:39] <RaTTuS|BIG> html and then sudo fdisk -l ?
[12:39] <ichbinder> nope, also nvidia-xconfig did not help, glxgears is still running slow as hell.
[12:39] <pangolin> Girffe: sorry I don't have any ideas but the ubuntu install process wouldn't change anything in bios
[12:41] <RaTTuS|BIG> eek - back in 1hr or so
[12:41] <html> huh? y?
[12:42] <html> i see it working , but i cant get to the files
[12:42] <ThSenior> anyone knows why when im transfering data to a usb stick CPU is too loaded
[12:42] <ThSenior> mount.ntfs uses about 25%
[12:43] <Stratisphere> hi all, got some questions about compiling a patch into oneiric kernel, is this the right channel to ask?
[12:43] <ThSenior> kiofile
[12:43] <ThSenior> dolphin also
[12:43] <Stratisphere> nm, just found it ;)
[12:43] <auronandace> ThSenior: thats normal for ntfs on external ddrives or usb sticks
[12:43] <pangolin> ThSenior: might try #ubuntu-kernel
[12:44] <pangolin> be patient :)
[12:44] <Guest4022> hello
[12:44] <pangolin> err sorry ThSenior wrong person
[12:44] <private_meta> Heya. My aptitude update tells me that updating my kernel fails, post-installation script returned error exit status 2, any idea what I can do? I tried apt-get clean, autoclean, autoremove, and make a new update/pgrade, but that didn't work, any idea?
[12:44] <Guest4022> i am looking for addon to firefox for burning cd'd
[12:45] <ThSenior> auronandace why its normal? seems like I cant transfer more than 12MBps because of the CPU usage.
[12:45] <Stratisphere> pangolin, cheers, I read the irc info above and got it :) thank you anyway!
[12:45] <pangolin> welcome
[12:45] <auronandace> Guest4022: why not use xfburn or brasero (why a firefox addon?)
[12:46] <html> ThSenior,   moving files ?  well i guess its just the way it is,
[12:46] <auronandace> ThSenior: its always been that way with me, you may need to ask the devs of ntfs-3g
[12:47] <ThSenior> ah ok
[12:47] <JayAge> anyone encountered this one: when I plug in any drive into USB, gnome disk mounter applet is shown twice (or even more times) for each device. only one icon is created on the desktop though. i'm on natty
[12:47] <ThSenior> btw why only root can modify a samba mounted dir...
[12:48] <ThSenior> the dirs are created with the user and mounted with fstab...
[12:48] <Girffe> ok, I screwed up
[12:48] <Girffe> I decided to just delete the partitions of my C: drive that had Ubuntu on it and put them back with the win7 partition
[12:49] <Phreak_> Mac OS X Lion - the world's most advanced operating system. Available for $29.99 from the Mac App store.
[12:49] <Guest4022> auronandace: thats for my grandmather, she can not use to many programs. its hardly to learn anything in her age. i need portable firefox with these addon 1. burn cd's. 2. automatic read text in browser  3 tranlator
[12:49] <Girffe> it fixed the error I was having with the boot menu but since Ubuntu was the boot default, my computer can't boot anymore
[12:49] <pangolin> !ot | Phreak_
[12:49] <RGUYASD> HAIL !!!!
[12:49] <RGUYASD> gentlement
[12:49] <Girffe> right now I'm just running Ubuntu off the usb, how can I set it to boot windows again?
[12:49] <pangolin> Girffe: reboot and hold shift key that will give you the option to boot to windows
[12:49] <RGUYASD> i'm trying to make the smallest Ubuntu that i can but it's not working
[12:49] <RGUYASD> any ideas ?
[12:50] <Girffe> can I do it within ubuntu or will I need a win7 disc?
[12:50] <pangolin> Girffe: if you deleted the ubuntu partition you will need to reinstall
[12:50] <ichbinder> pangolin: just ignore Phreak_, he's trolling and greeted with: "Hi niggers."
[12:50] <pangolin> ichbinder: yes I know. please don't repeat that though.
[12:50] <auronandace> Guest4022: sorry no idea, i prefer to use chromium, can you search the addons site for firefox?
[12:50] <Phreak_> ichbinder: please don't spread false assertions.
[12:50] <RGUYASD> HAIL ichbinder
[12:50] <deej1976> RGUYASD: Alternate install?
[12:50] <Girffe> Ok, is there a way to make it automatically boot from windows from now on, though?
[12:51] <RGUYASD> deej1976 i did a server install but the size is still too large
[12:51] <RGUYASD> 1.2GB
[12:51] <RGUYASD> i want it to be smaller
[12:51] <Girffe> I'm kind of done with Ubuntu for now, given what's happened recently, so I'd rather not reinstall it just to have it act as a boot manu
[12:51] <Phreak_> pangolin: You're just a dumb nigger
[12:51] <ichbinder> ^^
[12:51] <auronandace> !mini | RGUYASD
[12:52] <RGUYASD> i already used the minimal CD and i want it to be smaller than 1.2GB
[12:52] <RGUYASD> nobody bothered to do it?
[12:52] <auronandace> RGUYASD: that would be rather difficult to acheive with ubuntu
[12:53] <Guest4022> auronandace: i try not not found, i also try ask in Firefox channel but there no respond. i need thats addos for work in offline, my grandmother have torubles with online internet, and i can not all time ware of every her step
[12:53] <private_meta> Can someone help me with that aptitude problem?
[12:53] <deej1976> RGUYASD: http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/
[12:53] <RGUYASD> auronandace someone made a 180MB ubuntu without a GUI but i don't know how to make it install on a hardddisk
[12:53] <RGUYASD> if i can i will build a GUI on it
[12:55] <JayAge> no one got multiple disk mounter applets popping up on USB drive inserts on natty?
[12:55] <html> natty? means?10.04?
[12:55] <deej1976> RGUYASD: Others, tinycorelinux, puppylinux
[12:55] <JayAge> 11.04
[12:55] <auronandace> html: 11.04
[12:55] <deej1976> !natty | html
[12:55] <RGUYASD> deej1976 ok man
[12:55] <html> ah..
[12:55] <RGUYASD> i rather deal with ubuntu but i will try other distro
[12:55] <deej1976> RGUYASD: Might be a better option for you
[12:56] <pqatsi> Ive noticed apt-pinning dont work verywell for new ubuntu versions, and the best approach is use apt-get install package/precise - as example. But i see it dont updates these packages automatically. So, what is the best way to install ONLY one package and their dependences from another version and keep it upgraded?
[12:56] <JayAge> lucid wasn't doing it, btw.
[12:56] <pangolin> pqatsi: mixing versions is not recommended or supported
[12:57] <pqatsi> pangolin: i know both and i know what im doing
[12:57] <pangolin> pqatsi: in that case you don't need our help
[12:57] <pqatsi> pangolin: i just cant find a way to do this rightly since apt-pinning dont work anymmore
[12:58] <private_meta> http://pastebin.com/8rxbMd2n <-- any idea how to fix that?
[12:58] <bastidrazor> pqatsi: pinning isn't broken. i have it working in 10.04 and 11.10
[12:58] <private_meta> oh
[12:58] <private_meta> no space left on drive
[12:58] <private_meta> now i see
[12:58] <bastidrazor> pqatsi: if you use update-manager then its possible apt-pinning will not work since you're not using apt.
[12:59] <pqatsi> bastidrazor: so i cant understand, because i increase the priority in preferences.d and even this way apt-cache policy give me a 100 to precise and 999 to oineric
[12:59] <pqatsi> bastidrazor: apt/aptitude
[12:59] <pqatsi> no graphic management
[13:00] <pqatsi> a example: linux-image
[13:00] <roansh> Guys, I get an error when trying to install new packages "Broken packages"
[13:01] <Girffe> I  tried holding shift while rebooting, it didn't let me boot windows, though
[13:01] <pangolin> !fixmbr | Girffe
[13:02] <Girffe> Is there a way I can make windows 7 boot automatically again, as it did before I tried instsalling ubuntu?
[13:02] <Girffe> I'm the guy who deleted the ubuntu partitions and added them to the windows partition
[13:02] <Sidewinder1> roansh, I know Synaptic has a "fix broken packages"; not sure how to do it from command line.. :-(
[13:02] <pqatsi> pangolin and bastidrazor: the best approach i found is use "apt-get install xpto/precise" and update it. but i still cant understand why priority on apt-cache still lower than oineric
[13:03]  * pqatsi explains its a experimental machine
[13:04] <roansh> Okay Sidewinder1
[13:04] <pangolin> pqatsi: precise is not supported here, you may be able to get more help in #ubuntu+1
[13:04] <Girffe> is there any way I can make windows 7 boot automatically again, without ubuntu?
[13:04] <pqatsi> pangolin: isnt a precise issue, apt/apt-get/aptitude version is from oineric
[13:04] <pqatsi> and im using a version different from oineric only for one package (and their dependencies)
[13:04] <pangolin> pqatsi: right but you are using a precise package.
[13:05] <Sidewinder1> !windows > Girffe
[13:05] <pqatsi> pangolin: and btw, this precise package works like a glove :p my question is about apt priority and pinning
[13:05] <pqatsi> im worried about this: http://pastebin.com/ks0jz4L2
[13:05] <Girffe> This isn't about windows, though, as I need to do it through ubuntu
[13:05] <pangolin> pqatsi: I don't want to argue with you. I am telling you what you are doing is not supported.
[13:06] <Girffe> Is there some way to change the boot default through the partition manager?
[13:06] <jelly> Hi, is there a known problem with paste.ubuntu.com database?
[13:06] <jelly> I'm seeing different pastes, and dates in future.
[13:06] <MonkeyDust> Girffe  change it in grub
[13:06] <auronandace> MonkeyDust: he deleted ubuntu, grub won't work
[13:07] <Girffe> I'm running ubuntu off a usb now, can I still do it?
[13:07] <pqatsi> pangolin: i dont want "support", im asking if someone works with pinning and can explain me
[13:07] <pangolin> pqatsi: that is the definition of support
[13:07] <jelly> http://paste.ubuntu.com/762549/ eg. this timestamp won't have happened for 13 hours from now
[13:07] <pqatsi> aff
[13:07] <pangolin> Girffe: see http://askubuntu.com/questions/82928/how-to-make-windows-boot-first
[13:10] <e66> anyone know what is the room for gnome devs?
[13:10] <ichbinder> so, "Additional Drivers" now says that the nvidia driver is active and in use, after I followed what is suggested on http://askubuntu.com/questions/37590/nvidia-drivers-not-working-after-upgrade-why-can-i-only-see-terminal
[13:11] <ichbinder> however, running glxgears still is like watching a robot dance.
[13:11] <ichbinder> sloow
[13:11] <Girffe> I tried using the link you gave me, and the grub method, but when I type the line into the terminal it says "No such file or directory"
[13:12] <vixus> Hey all, can I get gdm to use the .xsession in my home directory?
[13:12] <Sidewinder1> Girffe, The only thing I can think of is to boot to the win emergency repair disk and type/click " Fix MBR".
[13:12] <jrib> vixus: yes, choose that option at the login screen (are you sure you are using gdm? lightdm is default now)
[13:12] <ichbinder> and the output of glxgears is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/762678/
[13:12] <ichbinder> :(
[13:13] <auronandace> Girffe: of course it would, you deleted the ubuntu partition
[13:13] <vixus> jrib: Using ubuntu 10.04, I think it's still GDM...
[13:13] <Girffe> Yeah, I was wondering about the win7 disk, guess I'll try that
[13:14] <Girffe> auronandace: Yeah, but I'm booting off the ubuntu USB right now, so it could be in the usb itself
[13:14] <Girffe> guess not, though
[13:14] <vixus> jrib: The option doesn't seem to be available, and I can't add files to /usr/share/xsessions.
[13:14] <jrib> vixus: yes.  At one point the option was missing, so you should search bugs.ubuntu.com for the bug (it exists but is now marked as "fix released" since it has been fixed in later versions).  In the comments you will see workarounds
[13:14] <jrib> vixus: why can't you add files to /usr/share/xsessions/?
[13:15] <vixus> jrib: this is a work computer and I only have sudo access to certain things (aptitude, synaptic, etc.)
[13:15] <jrib> vixus: so tell the administrator
[13:15] <jrib> vixus: (pointing him to the bug is probably the easiest thing to do)
[13:15] <vixus> jrib: ok, let me locate a thread that shows workarounds
[13:15] <auronandace> Girffe: if you are trying to get grub work you will need a partition for grub to be on (that would have been your ubuntu partition)
[13:16] <vixus> jrib: it's hard to get anything done that isn't urgent maintenance. all i want is to run a different WM. I thought it was possible with my own .xsession file
[13:16] <Girffe> auronandace: So there shouldn't be any way for me to make my computer boot from windows via the ubuntu disk?
[13:16] <jrib> vixus: sure, but to use it through gdm the option needs to exist :)
[13:16] <private_meta> Hey. I'm trying to set my LC_TIME locale to a different one so my calendar in a web app starts from monday. I've tried setting a german locale, but I'm not sure this works out correctly
[13:16] <private_meta> any idea how to fix it so I have monday as start of the week?
[13:16] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[13:17] <jrib> vixus: if you can login at a tty, you could just use a ~/.xinitrc and execute startx
[13:17] <^Mike> How can I get only security updates with apt-get on the command line?
[13:17] <Sidewinder1> Mornin' BluesKaj
[13:17] <auronandace> Girffe: i didn't say that, i said if you want to fix grub you will need a partition for grub to be on. an alternate is using fixmbr
[13:17] <vixus> jrib: hmm
[13:17] <vixus> jrib: i would have to kill the running x server though, right?
[13:17] <BluesKaj> hi Sidewinder1
[13:17] <sam_bris> anyone know of FOSS tools that will allow me to push M$ updates to a XP network?
[13:17] <auronandace> Girffe: i've seen someone suggest it but i can't remember how they did it sorry
[13:18] <ichbinder> nobody has an idea about my nvidia/glxgears issue?
[13:18] <jrib> vixus: nah you could start another X server (like: startx -- :1)
[13:18] <auronandace> Girffe: its either that or install a different bootloader
[13:18] <vixus> jrib: ok, let me try that
[13:18] <Girffe> auronandace: yeah, but if grub is on a partition wouldn't that mean you aren't using a boot disk?
[13:19] <Girffe> auronandace: also, what do you mean by a different bootloader? I thought the BIOS handled it by default, at least, I never manually installed a bootloader
[13:19] <jrib> vixus: here's the bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/gdm/+bug/398300  I *vaguely* remember the bug getting fixed in an update to gdm *in* 10.04 (like in the -updates repository) so check that your gdm package is at its latest version (and that the -updates repository is enabled)
[13:19] <Sidewinder1> auronandace, I suggested that he boot to win emergency repair disk and "fix mbr".
[13:19] <Crankygeek> Hello everyone
[13:19] <auronandace> Girffe: follow Sidewinder1's advice
[13:19] <RGUYASD> hail crankygeek
[13:19] <Sidewinder1> :d
[13:19] <Girffe> yeah, I can get a win7 disk pretty easily anyway, thanks for the help guys!
[13:20] <Sidewinder1> np
[13:20] <MonkeyDust> Girffe  do you have windows install disk?
[13:20] <RGUYASD> you don't have to thank me
[13:20] <RGUYASD> i did nothing
[13:20] <MonkeyDust> ok
[13:20] <Girffe> at my university I can just get a free one anyway so yeah
[13:20] <RGUYASD> windows is not free girffe
[13:20] <MonkeyDust> linux is free, too ;)
[13:20] <Girffe> it is at u of waterloo
[13:20] <Daniel0108> can I ask a gnome3 related question here? (I'm asking, as Ubuntu doesn't really support it)
[13:20] <RGUYASD> also if you get it from the internet you can't guarantee that's it's free of spyware or viruses
[13:20] <Girffe> every student gets a free copy of win7
[13:21] <RGUYASD> you know that somebody can recontruct the windows into an ISO again
[13:21] <Cradam> !ask Daniel0108
[13:21] <RGUYASD> so they acn install whatever they want in it and turn it into a dvd iso
[13:21] <Daniel0108> Cradam: see the ()
[13:21] <vixus> jrib: I bet updates isn't enabled :)
[13:21] <Girffe> yeah but I'm getting it right from my university
[13:21] <Cradam> Daniel0108: !ask
[13:21] <MonkeyDust> !ask| Cradam
[13:21] <Girffe> I'd trust them, at least
[13:22] <Cradam> thanks MonkeyDust
[13:22] <Cradam> Daniel0108: window managers dont have much to do with the OS
[13:22] <Girffe> anyway thanks again for the help, I'm gonna go and get breakfast and the win7 disk
[13:22] <Girffe> later everyone
[13:22] <Daniel0108> Cradam: gnome3 doesn't have much to do with window managers.
[13:23] <ichbinder> Daniel0108: smartassing won't make more people help you. So ask your question and we'll see if somebody knows the answer.
[13:23] <harry_> hello guys, i want to to know how to enable window snapping in xubuntu beside using compiz?
[13:23] <vixus> jrib: oh, actually they are
[13:24] <shudacr> you advise me what? ubuntu or gentoo ?
[13:24] <vixus> jrib: How would I go about updating GDM?
[13:24] <Daniel0108> ichbinder: I already asked in the gnome channel, which is the right place for my question. Also, I just corrected him, as gnome3 is not a window manager.
[13:24] <jrib> vixus: sudo apt-get update && apt-cache policy gdm   would show you installed version and candidate version.  To update a package, you just run: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install PACKAGE
[13:25] <vixus> jrib: ok, weird that this is the only candidate I see: 2.30.2.is.2.30.0-0ubuntu5.2
[13:26] <zygf_eenode> .
[13:27] <jrib> vixus: it's up to date then
[13:27] <vixus> hmm
[13:27] <jrib> vixus: you'll either have to ask the admin to add a session script like the comments to that bug describe or just use startx with your ~/.xinitrc
[13:28] <vixus> jrib: in the latter case, i run .xinitrc first and then startx?
[13:28] <jrib> vixus: startx will automatically run your ~/.xinitrc
[13:28] <vixus> ok
[13:28] <jrib> vixus: if you already have an xserver up, you may have to do something like: startx -- :1
[13:28] <vixus> ok
[13:29] <yao_ziyuan> what is the best free dictionary program today?
[13:29] <MonkeyDust> !best| yao_ziyuan
[13:30] <soreau> yao_ziyuan: google.com comes up with definitions pretty quickly ;)
[13:30] <vixus> jrib: ok, it worked
[13:30] <dubey> hello
[13:30] <vixus> jrib: thanks :)
[13:30] <jrib> vixus: no problem :)
[13:30] <vixus> i'll be off then
[13:30] <dubey> Is there any tool in ubuntu to connect to VMWare ESXI5 ?
[13:31] <jelly> ssh ?
[13:31] <WanderingEnder> dubey, you mean VMWare Infrastructure Client?
[13:31] <dubey> yes
[13:31] <bubu> hi guys, how could I gunzip the latest file in a directory and keep the archive??
[13:32] <WanderingEnder> Not that I know of. Have you went to your ESXi server's url to see what it offers you?
[13:33] <WanderingEnder> dubey, there is no Linux version. Use a Windows PC.
[13:34] <dubey> wine will work ?
[13:34] <WanderingEnder> google suggests maybe.
[13:35] <pangolin> How do I run googleearth-package? it is installed but I can't seem to figure out how to run it.
[13:35] <pangolin> nor can I find it in the menus
[13:36] <wwb> who ever used backtrack OS?  i have some problem
[13:36] <pangolin> !backtrack
[13:36] <jrib> pangolin is too quick :)
[13:36] <janolap1> Hi, I have a ubuntu serveur 8.04 LTS (which I has duplicated to make tests) with ubuntu-desktop. I did a "apt-get update" followed by "apt-get upgrade". When I reboot, the desktop stays with the background color only (no icons, no menu, no effects on left click, no effetcs on right click).
[13:36] <soreau> bubu: According to the gzip man page, -N should do it: When decompressing, restore the original file name and time stamp if  present.
[13:36] <jrib> janolap1: 8.04 desktop is no longer supported
[13:37] <soreau> bubu: or maybe I misunderstand it
[13:37] <jrib> !upgrade | janolap1
[13:37] <llutz_> bubu: gunzip -c file.gz  >file
[13:37] <wwb> who can give me a hand
[13:37] <jrib> wwb: you are not in the correct channel for the backtrack distribution
[13:37] <janolap1> jrib : thanx !
[13:38] <WanderingEnder> wwb, /join #backtrack-linux, ask there.
[13:38] <dacs129> hi all. may i ask question?
[13:38] <WanderingEnder> !ask | dacs129

[13:38] <BarkingFish> !ask | dacs129
[13:38] <warlock_handler> hi
[13:38] <wwb> the backrack chart don't have any people....who can:)
[13:39] <WanderingEnder> wwb, and we won't, so wait till someone there knows?
[13:39] <pangolin> wwb: they can, we can't.
[13:39] <BarkingFish> great minds think alike, WanderingEnder :)
[13:39] <dacs129> aha thx. i got this link from some1 is it dangerous to execute it? http://pastebin.com/pbb9KZd0
[13:39] <WanderingEnder> BarkingFish, heh.
[13:39] <warlock_handler> is there an tool I could use to convert voice to action.... something like espeak.. but voice to command... like say terminal.. and the terminal pops up
[13:40] <WanderingEnder> dacs129, do you know what ssh is?
[13:41] <dacs129> @WanderingEnder thx, i googled it. it's something with remote administrattion right?
[13:42] <milanoa> hi wanderingender
[13:42] <WanderingEnder> dacs129, I have no idea, I use the proper OS for administration of ESXi as dictated by VMware.
[13:42] <BluesKaj> !ssh
[13:44] <WanderingEnder> xchat is trying to kill my computer. :|
[13:44] <dacs129> ok, so why do i have to this then??
[13:45] <NoPinky> dacs129, if I understand your pastie, it should give you access to a remote PC via ssh
[13:46] <WanderingEnder> dacs129, you don't. And yes, it'll give you remote access to whatever that IP is.
[13:46] <airtonix> warlock_handler: yes there is
[13:46] <NoPinky> dacs129, I think it is savem but if you have never use the shell, then you won't be able to do much with it, what ever it offer
[13:46] <WanderingEnder> Its not even a script, its just a little calling card with instructions on where to ssh to for a "CHristmas present"
[13:47] <airtonix> warlock_handler: it's commonly known as "voice control" or "speech recognition"
[13:47] <Cradam> ssh is your friend
[13:47] <NoPinky> I think I'll try it out :D
[13:47] <warlock_handler> airtonix, ya like?? i just found "vedics" http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1499230
[13:47] <pangolin> How do I run googleearth-package? it is installed but I can't seem to figure out how to run it.
[13:47] <warlock_handler> airtonix, of course dude..

[13:48] <llutz_> dacs129: depending on your local law, logging into a system not yours without permission of the owner might be a crime
[13:48] <warlock_handler> airtonix, ohh awesome.. and I searched buntuforums.com :P and gave u an application instead of 2 generic words :P
[13:48] <almoxarife> WanderingEnder: dacs129 is trolling, the link he posted is to his own ip and he forgot its in his ident I assume
[13:49] <dacs129> but this si the trouble... im on the machine but no one else is..
[13:49] <NoPinky> yes, I noticed too, it's his computer
[13:49] <WanderingEnder> almoxarife, I see.

[13:51] <almoxarife> pangolin: tried the command from terminal 'googleearth'?
[13:51] <pangolin> almoxarife: I did and command not found

[13:53] <private_meta> I've set my locale to german to get start of weekday = monday. Now, I did that to have monday as start day in a JSP/Richfaces Website, but apparently, it still has Sunday as a starting day of the week. Anyone got an idea how to fix that?
[13:54] <almoxarife> pangolin: look for the .desktop file in /user/share/applications , if not there its not installed
[13:55] <riderplus> hi. anyone ascii drawing?
[13:55] <llutz_> private_meta: don't you have to set servers locale correctly, not the clients?
[13:57] <WanderingEnder> !topic | riderplus
[13:58] <private_meta> llutz_: I'm talking about the servers locale
[14:00] <llutz_> private_meta: sry "set my locale" sounded different to me
[14:01] <Sidewinder1> airtonix, I know he's gone but, I believe there used to be and maybe still is, a voice to text program called "sphinx-something-or other". Just FYI.. :-)
[14:02] <private_meta> llutz_: development server, so it's local, this "my"
[14:02] <airtonix> Sidewinder1: pocketsphinx
[14:02] <private_meta> *thus
[14:03] <Sidewinder1> airtonix, Yea! That's it. I tried it once and couldn't get it configured properly..
[14:09] <Hotkeys> I have a smbmount to a share drive at my work place. I use google earth with a network link. The network link ONLY works when running google earth with sudo. I also have the same problem with libre office, I cannot save to our share drive without running the program as root. I don't want to run my programs as root. But I still need to be able to save to our share drive with libre office and google earth.

[14:12] <dj_segfault> Wow.  I just looked into buying the domain name linu.xxx domain name, but they're charging $99/yr for .xxx domain names.  Not worth that much for a joke.
[14:13] <soreau> dj_segfault: its not worth it to share that here either, since it has nothing to do with ubuntu

[14:14] <dj_segfault> Fair enough.  sorry

[14:21] <koichirose> Hi, I'm using Gnome3 Classic on Ubuntu 11.10. The 'gnome-open' command now opens the containing folder instead of directly opening the file. What do I need to do to fix it?
[14:22] <jrib> koichirose: does xdg-open behave similarly?
[14:23] <deej1976>  koichirose: If you right click on the folder and select properties then "Open With" what application is selected?
[14:23] <koichirose> jrib, yes, it opens the containing folder
[14:23] <koichirose> deej1976, for example I use Geany for txt files.
[14:23] <koichirose> deej1976, if I double click txt files from Nautilus it opens Geany correctly
[14:24] <ScroogeMcDuckets> Hey, I'm using ubuntu 10.04 thru wubi on windows xp...I can no longer boot into Ubuntu. How can I fix this?
[14:25] <MonkeyDust> !details| ScroogeMcDuckets
[14:26] <ScroogeMcDuckets> I have a problem with booting into Ubuntu, Iam running Ubuntu 10.04. When I try to boot into Ubuntu its saying I'm I have a corrupted hal.dll.
[14:26] <ThSenior> which is the best way to make free space on ubuntu? deleting temporaty or any old data?
[14:27] <troll> why have you guys started with unity? i realy liked ubuntu before unity -.-
[14:27] <iceroot> Guest26486: #ubuntu-offtopic
[14:27] <iceroot> ThSenior: sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get clean
[14:27] <ThSenior> troll install kubuntu desktop
[14:27] <ThSenior> iceroot what it exactlly does?
[14:28] <iceroot> ThSenior: removing packages which are no longer needed (autoremove) and also cleaning the cache of downloaded packages (clean) see also "man apt-get"
[14:29] <janolap1> My ubuntu server 8.04 LTS has ubuntu-desktop installed on it. How can I exit the desktop, just to have command line ?

I have a problem with booting into Ubuntu, Iam running Ubuntu 10.04. When I try to boot into Ubuntu its saying I'm I have a corrupted hal.dll.
[14:30] <iceroot> janolap1: if you want to stop the x-server use "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop"
[14:30] <janolap1> iceroot : thanx ! I'll ty it !
[14:30] <iceroot> ScroogeMcDuckets: dll?
[14:31] <iceroot> ScroogeMcDuckets: are you using wubi?
Yes and yes
[14:31] <iceroot> ScroogeMcDuckets: hm sorry i never used wubi but its an important info that the error is coming from wubi
 I'm running a dual-boot with windows xp, at the main boot screen where I choose which os to use (xp or Ubunu) when I choose Ubuntu, it saying it cannot start because of a corrupt hal.dll.
[14:33] <xxiao> will ubuntu boot with a vanilla kernel inside virtual box?
[14:33] <xxiao> i mean, i don't need many drivers, just harddrive, ethernet, mouse,keyboard
[14:34] <xxiao> need test some software
[14:34] <xxiao> with certain version of kernel,but i need patch the kernel
[14:34] <xangua> ScroogeMcDuckets: you can try a reall install, have you¿
[14:34] <xxiao> can i got a kernel without all those ubuntu stuff?
[14:34] <iceroot> xxiao: i dont see a reason why the vanilla-kernel should not work with vbox
[14:34] <xangua> xxiao: ubuntu stuff¿
[14:34] <xxiao> i.e. the way ubuntu builts kernel to deb
[14:34] <iceroot> xangua: ubuntu patches inside the vanilla-kernel
[14:34] <xxiao> s/builts/build/
 I would like to thats for sure. I just have alot of documents and such i would like to get off the current wubi install.
[14:35] <iceroot> xxiao: building a deb from vanilla kernel is no difference to a vanilla-kernel, only when the ubunt patches are applied there are differences
[14:36] <xxiao> ok i'll google for it...not sure how i update grub etc
[14:36] <xxiao> with the new vanilla kernel, i don't really need a initramfs
[14:36] <xxiao> for ubuntu, you have kernel, modules, initrd, 3 things i think
[14:36] <xxiao> still waiting for the vanilla kernel compile
[14:37] <Ibis> Is it possible for ubuntu in virtualbox to use advanced 3D features or is that a no?
[14:37] <Guest88600> hello! anyone else?
[14:38] <iceroot> Ibis: its possible
[14:38] <Ibis> Or any other popular virtual software?
[14:38] <Girffe> I'm trying to fix the mbr of my win7 partition using a ubuntu live CD, but mk-sys isn't a command in 11.04
[14:38] <iceroot> Ibis: you need the guest addons from vbox
[14:38] <Ibis> !anyone Guest88600
[14:38] <Girffe> I downloaded and compiled mk-sys from sourceforge, but I need a password in order to actually install it
[14:38] <xxiao> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/GitKernelBuild
[14:38] <xxiao> maybe that's what i need
[14:38] <Ibis> Guest88600: Ask your real question please. Of course we can't help if we do not know what you need help with excactly.
[14:39] <Girffe> and when I try to set a password in the terminal it doesn't let me type anything for the password itself
[14:39] <Girffe> anyone know how I can install mk-sys?
[14:39] <Ibis> iceroot: Im trying to understand all this guess stuff as possible, because when I buy my new computer, I don't want to be disappointed without knowing "What's true and what's not".
[14:40] <xangua> just type your password Girffe
[14:40] <Girffe> it's a live CD, though, I never set one
[14:40] <Ibis> iceroot: Guest stuff that is.        I'm trying to share GPU one way or another between virtual machines.       Or at least have all these fancy effects in 3 virtualmachines.
[14:40] <iceroot> Ibis: if you want more infos on the guest addons i would suggest to have a look at the manual from vbox
[14:41] <iceroot> Ibis: that is possible with vbox
[14:42] <caoxiaomin> hello everybody!
[14:43] <Girffe> The steps sourceforge gives in the readme file are:
[14:43] <Girffe> Step 3, become root and install  su (and give password) make install
[14:43] <Girffe> su (and give password)
[14:43] <Girffe> make install
[14:43] <deej1976> Girffe: try sudo make install
[14:43] <Girffe> it says make install
[14:43] <Girffe> I mean
[14:43] <Girffe> make: *** No rule to make target `install'.  Stop.
[14:43] <RaTTuS|BIG> sudo make install is what you need to do
[14:43] <iceroot> Girffe: is there a reason why you want to compile something?
[14:44] <Girffe> I need to use mk-sys to fix the mbr for windows 7\
[14:44] <Girffe> but mk-sys isn't in 11.10
[14:44] <Girffe> so I need to compile it so I can use it
[14:44] <iceroot> Girffe: use your windows-cd to fix the mbr
[14:44] <Girffe> sadly I don't have a dvd drive
[14:44] <iceroot> Girffe: fix /mbr  should be the windows-command
[14:45] <Girffe> and I can't put it onto a usb because I only have the one that I'm running ubuntu off right now
[14:45] <MonkeyDust> iceroot  he ruined his pc and cannot boot windows anymore
[14:45] <iceroot> MonkeyDust: and i am talking about the windows-CD
[14:45] <Girffe> there shouldn't be anything permanently wrong, I just deleted ubuntu, the windows files are all intact
[14:46] <deej1976> iceroot: Believe Girffe is trying to follow this or something similar http://www.arsgeek.com/2008/01/15/how-to-fix-your-windows-mbr-with-an-ubuntu-livecd/
[14:46] <Girffe> yeah, that's the guide I used
[14:46] <Girffe> it's just that it's from 2008, when mk-sys was still in ubuntu
[14:46] <koichirose> Hi, I'm using Gnome3 Classic on Ubuntu 11.10. The 'gnome-open' command now opens the containing folder instead of directly opening the file. What do I need to do to fix it?
[14:46] <iceroot> Girffe: why not use the ubuntu-version from 2008? instead of fighting with make?
[14:47] <iceroot> Girffe: .... sudo apt-get install ms-sys
[14:47] <iceroot> Girffe: its called ms-sys not mksys
[14:47] <Girffe> tried that, but I can't install it onto the usb I'm already using because it's already being used for 11.10
[14:47] <Girffe> ....

[14:50] <samba23> how to update ubuntu 10.04 to latest 10.04  (i mean 10.04 then i guess it come with 10.04 ,mine is installed 10.04.2  now i read 10.04.3 is avilable )
[14:50] <iceroot> samba23: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[14:51] <samba23> ok
[14:51] <samba23> thanks
[14:51] <iceroot> samba23: when you install the normal security-updates you have automaticly 10.04.3
[14:51] <samba23> ok
[14:52] <samba23> which is best  hypervisor is avilable with 10.04
[14:52] <deej1976> koichirose: Have you seen: http://tinyurl.com/bsj44om
[14:52] <deej1976> koichirose: Have you seen: http://tinyurl.com/bsj44om
[14:53] <iceroot> samba23: i guess kvm is the most common but i am not sure if the kernel from 10.04 has all the kvm features, so have a look at xen and kvm
[14:53] <samba23> ok
[14:53] <iceroot> !info linux-image lucid
[14:54] <iceroot> samba23: hm 2.6.32 should be fine for kvm
[14:54] <samba23> ok
[14:54] <samba23> for home use which is good xen or kvm ?
[14:54] <iceroot> samba23: vbox
[14:55] <iceroot> samba23: kvm and xen are needing some skill and they are cli only
[14:55] <samba23> is it come with ubuntu 10.04
[14:55] <iceroot> samba23: if you just want to play with some vms use vbox
[14:55] <iceroot> !vbox | samba23
[14:55] <samba23> ok
[14:55] <iceroot> samba23: sudo apt-get install vbox  should do the job
[14:55] <ThSenior> iceroot thanks but nothing removed...
[14:55] <samba23> ok
[14:55] <theadmin> iceroot: "virtualbox", rather
[14:56] <samba23> thank you very much
[14:56] <iceroot> theadmin: isnt virtualbox the nonfree version and vbox the free one?
[14:56] <iceroot> !info vbox lucid
[14:56] <iceroot> !info virtualbox lucid
[14:56] <iceroot> !info virtualbox-ose lucid
[14:56] <theadmin> iceroot: Um, since version 4 there's no Nonfree anymore...
[14:56] <theadmin> Oh.
[14:56] <theadmin> Lucid, I see
[14:56] <iceroot> theadmin: we are talking about lucid :)
[14:57] <iceroot> samba23: sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose
[14:57] <llutz_> iceroot: there former was virtualbox and -ose , its all virtualbox now
[14:57] <samba23> ok
[14:57] <iceroot> llutz_: hm ok, i thought one of them was called vbox
