[07:25] <alokar> ZykoticK9,  isn't this a beta?
[07:25] <_genuser_> richiefrich: it just said some stuff was probably unstable didn't say why it failed. the main thig that failed that I saw was samba. let's just hope it was the only package.

[07:27] <Romance> do you like 11.04?
[07:27] <richiefrich> no
[07:27] <ZykoticK9> Romance, a question for #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:27] <OsamaDeadYay> how long will 10.04 be supported, security-update-wise?
[07:28] <richiefrich> thats a year old now
[07:28] <richiefrich> over
[07:28] <ZykoticK9> OsamaDeadYay, for desktops until 2013 April or so
[07:28] <elky> OsamaDeadYay, Please change your nickname if you wish to continue using this channel
[07:28] <OsamaDeadYay> ZykoticK9: and after that I'm on my own?
[07:29] <ZykoticK9> OsamaDeadYay, after that?  I guess so?!?!
[07:29] <OsamaDeadYay> elky: oh, so you can talk, and not only ban without saying anything like in #ubuntu-offtopic.
[07:29] <elky> OsamaDeadYay, "no" and "just, no" count as commenting. It's not my fault you ignored that.
[07:29] <elky> OsamaDeadYay, now, change that nickname or you're out of here.
[07:30] <IdleOne> OsamaDeadYay: if you have a problem with the ban issued in -ot join #ubuntu-ops to discuss it. Please remember that we do have !guidelines and !codeofconduct.
[07:30] <OsamaDeadYay> elky: no, I'll return with a few hundred copies of mine and we'll see who wins. :)
[07:30] <KNUBBIG> you certainly won't
[07:31] <KNUBBIG> so silent :o
[07:32] <tbf> how again do i re-arrange launchers in the sidebar?
[07:32] <tbf> ...thought i've done it once, but cannot remember how
[07:32] <richiefrich> what panel are you using
[07:32] <tbf> richiefrich: the unity thing
[07:32] <richiefrich> oh then idk
[07:32] <richiefrich> i dont think you can move things around
[07:33] <richiefrich> at this time, could be wrong
[07:33] <bullgard4> How does MetaCity change if I assert in gconf-editor: apps->metacity->general->compositing_manager? (I did read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compositing)
[07:33] <richiefrich> you used to be able to right click
[07:33] <tbf> richiefrich: pretty sure i did
[07:33] <kezzawd> alokar - try this - http://bit.ly/knlNcZ
[07:33] <KNUBBIG> richiefrich: I think you're mostly right, you can change some but not all
[07:33] <richiefrich> KNUBBIG: yeah you cant even put the launcher on the bottom
[07:33] <linux_probe> teh richiefrich ish teh failz
[07:33] <richiefrich> or top
[07:33] <kezzawd> tbf - do you have Ubuntu Tweak installed
[07:33] <richiefrich> KNUBBIG: needs to be on the side
[07:34] <tbf> ...but right now right click pans that dock
[07:34] <tbf> kezzawd: wtf... ubuntu also comes with such mess now?
[07:34] <tbf> are we back at windows 95?
[07:34] <tbf> (with it's infamous tweak ui)
[07:34] <linux_probe> win 3.1!
[07:34] <KNUBBIG> I think there was something you could do but I can't find it anymore
[07:34] <kezzawd> tbf - if you have Ubuntu Tweak then make sure you have show desktop icons checked
[07:34] <bullgard4> !enter | tbf
[07:35] <kezzawd> that will stop right-click on desktop if not checked
[07:35] <xion56> how do I make share internet connection with playstation 3 with Linux Mint? (with is based in ubuntu)  I have put ethernet cable between them
[07:36] <kezzawd> tbf you can re-arrange all launchers by dragging them off and then replacing them where you want
[07:36] <tbf> ubottu: emotions. emotions. it __really__ upset's me that suddenly both unity and gnome-shall resort to ux mess like windows 95's tweak ui. it's a really bad sign.
[07:37] <tbf> kezzawd: "dragging off".... hmm.... let's see
[07:37] <KNUBBIG> kezzawd: woot? Since when can I drag the launcher icons?
[07:37] <bullgard4> xion56: Please put this question in a Linux Mint channel. This is #ubuntu.
[07:37] <KNUBBIG> kezzawd: lol thanks
[07:37] <kezzawd> KNUBBIG my pleasure
[07:37] <Josesordo> I can use compiz and some docky in XFCE?
[07:37] <tbf> kezzawd: that was the trick! thanks alot!
[07:38] <xion56> bullgard4: I have tried there, I figured if here people can help as its based in ubuntu
[07:38] <ZykoticK9> Josesordo, i was just looking at http://www.ghacks.net/2010/07/11/run-compiz-with-xfce4/
[07:38] <tbf> so now i only have to figure out how to edit launchers, unity imported from gnome shell. have one with horribly upscaled icon.
[07:39] <Josesordo> ZykoticK9, xfce4 is with xubuntu 11.04?
[07:39] <tbf> well, alternative: how do i add custom launchers (without pre-installed .desktop file)
[07:39] <ZykoticK9> Josesordo, ?
[07:39] <kezzawd> tbf - try right-click to remove launcher, then open the application and pin the launcher again ?
[07:40] <tbf> kezzawd: don't have a desktop file for this app... but let's try
[07:40] <Josesordo> ZykoticK9, its ok.. google answered me xD
[07:41] <bear_> hi   is theere  a " all in one codec  pack"?
[07:41] <tbf> kezzawd: no, that's the wrong instance
[07:41] <IdleOne> bear_: ubuntu-restricted-extras
[07:42] <cmdbbq> ok, i got pidgin into the messaging menu by enabling the libnotify plugin, now i just need to get empathy (listed as "chat") to go away. any ideas on how i would do that?
[07:42] <bullgard4> bear_: No.
[07:42] <tbf> kezzawd: (not surprisingly) took the app it found in path (or however) - not the shell script
[07:42] <richiefrich> tbf: lol switch to xface :P
[07:43] <richiefrich> XFCE
[07:43] <richiefrich> i mean
[07:43] <KNUBBIG> anybody knows why eclipse in the repos is still 3.5 not 3.6?
[07:43] <kezzawd> tbf - try this thread - half way down - http://bit.ly/msZLwR
[07:43] <ZykoticK9> bear_, if u-r-e doesn't have what you're looking for check out w32codec (or w64codec) from Medibuntu
[07:43] <tbf> richiefrich: why? unity is pretty cool. just needs a bit polish. guess we finally have to admit, mark is a visionary
[07:43] <M13up> Umm, just put on ubuntu 11.4, looks OK.  where do i get the admin menu from?
[07:44] <richiefrich> tbf: oh i wasnt a fan
[07:44] <bear_> will that cover most of it , and its there more of them , i dont feel like trying to mess up on this oreder for this customer...
[07:44] <jamzed> Is somebody have a problem with iPhone tethering on Ubuntu 11.04? Look's like problem with DHCP server.
[07:44] <kezzawd> M13up Hit super key then check out the dropdown menu you see to the right
[07:45] <kezzawd> M13up - take that back sorry - if you get the application 'lens' up then you should see a dropdown menu to the right
[07:45] <M13up> kezzawd: I have shortcuts from super, and a dock on the left.
[07:46] <M13up> kezzawd: is there still a menu for admin tools and another for applications i can access.
[07:46] <ZykoticK9> bear_, u-r-e should cover "most" of it
[07:47] <bear_> then what am i missing?
[07:47] <keefer> wow
[07:48] <keefer> unity looks nice
[07:48] <keefer> hm
[07:48] <Fukkem> oh
[07:48] <linuxuz3r> there are tons of website that has ios app reviews
[07:48] <linuxuz3r> is there an app review for linux apps
[07:48] <Rehan> what does the vga=795 mean in grub kernel options?
[07:48] <tbf> richiefrich: of unity or mark? :-D about unity? sure, not entirely polished yet - what do you expect for a first release. but then a big step forward over the old panel and much saner ux story than gnome-shell
[07:49] <cmdbbq> M13up: if you click the ubuntu logo or tap super you get an integrated menu geared towards search and then as you type stuff in it will find whatever program you want
[07:49] <ZykoticK9> Rehan, vga= is deprecated
[07:49] <richiefrich> tbf: yeah unity
[07:49] <richiefrich> tbf: i just switched to another window manager
[07:49] <kezzawd> M13up: the closest I've come to it is the method I described - although I prefer to just hit 'Super' and then type the name of the application / tool I want followed by return
[07:49] <cmdbbq> or there is an "applications" entry in the dock on the left and you can look for see all applications or something like that
[07:49] <Rehan> ZykoticK9: how comes its in there by default? should I just remove it? I don't want my resolution to be 795 if thats what it does
[07:49] <tbf> very big fan of how it turns each maximized app into some kind of full screen app, by moving titlebar and menubar into the top panel
[07:49] <mathews> linuxuz3r: http://linux.softpedia.com/
[07:50] <cmdbbq> installed: 91 more results is what it says M13up
[07:50] <tbf> → goodbye F11 fullscreen shortcut, you  are redundant now
[07:50] <Jordan_U> Rehan: It's a depricated way to pass information to grub about what video mode to set. GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX in /etc/default/grub is the replacement and takes a simple resolution specified like "800x600".
[07:50] <ZykoticK9> Rehan, what version of ubuntu did you find that by default?  it's not directly translated to a 795 pixel resolution BTW.
[07:50] <M13up> cmdbbq: yeh but sometimes i want something i can't remeber the name of.
[07:50] <dualcore> 11.04 doesn't see a partition on another hard drive that i need access too. i think it has my old users permissions
[07:50] <Rehan> ZykoticK9: 11.04
[07:50] <tbf> kezzawd: feared i'd have to manually create a .desktop file. well. ok.
[07:51] <ZykoticK9> Rehan, lol figures.
[07:51] <bullgard4> Rehan: You can change it to another value.
[07:51] <_genuser_> ok that's the last time I do upgrade on ubuntu.
[07:51] <_genuser_> after 11.04 upgrade when I log it, it
[07:51] <M13up> Also for someone new to the features of ubuntu they don't have the chance to play with items. they have to find them a very hard way. it's nice just to see the admin tools in a list sometimes.
[07:51] <nat__> hello
[07:52] <_genuser_> ust shows a black background and nothing. Anybody seen that before and how to fix it?
[07:52] <Rehan> bullgard4: i can comment out GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX and instead put in GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX ?
[07:52] <kezzawd> tbf - if you right click desktop and use 'Create Launcher' it's simpler - then you just need to move the launcher created into .local/share/ applications, and then drag it out of that location into the dock - it works
[07:52] <_genuser_> having ot login to netbuntu 2D session.
[07:52] <ZykoticK9>  _genuser_ i don't think many of the experienced users in this channel would recommend upgrading ubuntu.
[07:52] <kezzawd> tbf: for dock read launcher lol (OSX !!!)
[07:52] <bullgard4> Rehan: I did not implay that.
[07:52] <bullgard4> Rehan: I did not imply that.
[07:52] <bear_> whats the command to plaay dvds... the ones you get at the store
[07:52] <cmdbbq> M13up: I don't know how to get the old catagories view, if that is even still possible, but Applications on the menu bar and then clicking on where it says see more results next to installed should get you a full list to look at
[07:52] <_genuser_> ZykoticK9: lol, I wouldn't either now. I'm experienced too.
[07:52] <_genuser_> now.
[07:52] <bear_> libdvdcss2
[07:53] <Rehan> Jordan_U: : i can comment out GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX and instead put in GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX ?
[07:53] <bp0> yes, upgrading is a mistake
[07:53] <Jordan_U> Rehan: What are you trying to accomplish?
[07:53] <_genuser_> now, important topic.
[07:53] <_genuser_> does anyone know how to downgrade?
[07:53] <_genuser_> to 10.10?
[07:53] <tbf> kezzawd: thank you
[07:53] <nat__> how do i change name
[07:53] <_genuser_> short of install fresh install from 10.10 media/
[07:53] <Rehan> Jordan_U: just cleaning up my grub file that i was editing around
[07:53] <KNUBBIG> !downgrade | _genuser_
[07:53] <Jordan_U> !downgrade | _genuser_
[07:54] <tbf> hey, the x-chat icon shows when i got pinged on irc... sweet!
[07:54] <ZykoticK9> _genuser_, sure, downgrade = fresh install
[07:54] <_genuser_> ah, so basically ubuntu is too busy trying to be new windows they don't care about users....
[07:54] <_genuser_> check.
[07:54] <cmdbbq> M13up: on the left side dock, it looks like a magnifying glass with an addition sign in the lense
[07:54] <M13up> OK thanks everyone
[07:54] <_genuser_> thanks guys.
[07:54] <bullgard4> _genuser_: There is no "downgrade". You will need to re-install another Ubuntu release.
[07:54] <Jordan_U> Rehan: Then just remove "vga=795" and don't replace it with anything. It shouldn't be needed.
[07:55] <Rehan> Jordan_U: ok thanks, whats the 'splash' mean on the same line?
[07:55] <_genuser_> bullgard4: hehe, it's probably faster too. the upgrade took 4hrs from 10.04 to 10.10 and then 3 hr to 11.0.
[07:55] <Jordan_U> Rehan: Show a boot animation rather than scrolling text during boot.
[07:55] <d4gg3r> any aidea how to install this? libplds4.so.0d
[07:55] <d4gg3r> ?
[07:55] <Rehan> Jordan_U: very informative, thank you. Is quiet the opposite of splash?
[07:55] <KNUBBIG> Now that I read it, does the plymouth splash screen thingy still exist in natty? Doesn't seem to work for me
[07:55] <bullgard4> _genuser_: Yes. A quite common phenomenon.
[07:56] <phonex01> Oh god today they killed bin laden !!
[07:56] <Rehan> KNUBBIG: doesn't work for me either :) just see a black screen until the login screen
[07:56] <M13up> OH yeh it's possible from the super/icon browse section.
[07:56] <_genuser_> bullgard4: you konw I kept thinking on every update/upgrade waring ot just ignore it. and then I hit upgrade.
[07:56] <bp0> phonex01, yesterday.
[07:56] <phonex01> in my time it is today
[07:56] <Jordan_U> Rehan: No, quiet means to show less messages during boot. They generally go together.
[07:56] <M13up> you can change options search result on the right and select system.
[07:56] <bullgard4> _genuser_: I know this temptation too.
[07:56] <paspro> Question: Gwibber throws notification messages on the screen with twitter/facebook events. However, when I try to click on these notifications I they fade out. Is there any way for them to become clickable?
[07:56] <KNUBBIG> Rehan: I see my GRUB background and that's it :) but I think the opposite of splash is nosplash
[07:57] <cmdbbq> how do you go to the desktop/minimize all windows in unity?
[07:57] <M13up> then then a few come up you click system again and the full list will appear.
[07:57] <Rehan> KNUBBIG: yeah i see my grub page perfectly but then after that its black screen until login. Its because of stupid nvidia drivers or something from what I've read
[07:57] <MoL0ToV> hi to all! i just upgraded to 11.04, where i can find the normal/basic/advanced compiz graphics effects?
[07:57] <Jordan_U> !ccsm | MoL0ToV
[07:57] <phonex01> they just opened the hell gate in pakistan , they have no idea what they can do there ...... US gov did the most stupid thing that will really make them suffer ..
[07:57] <Jordan_U> !ot | phonex01
[07:57] <paspro> M13up: I know that, I was just wondering if I can click directly when the notification message pops up
[07:57] <_genuser_> bullgard4: anyway, thanks. :)
[07:58] <phonex01> ok ok im sorry
[07:58] <KNUBBIG> Rehan: mh dunno, had to fix sthing in 10.10 as well, but splash also doesn#t work on my 11.04 ATI notebook so it might just be all proprietary drivers ...
[07:58] <bp0> is someone making a natty faq? somthing better than those bot factoids, all in one place?
[07:58] <bp0> that would be handy
[07:58] <bp0> i remember someone did it with lucid
[07:58] <bp0> that was great
[07:58] <d4gg3r> ?
[07:58] <kezzawd> MoL0ToV: if you install ccsm and not simple-ccsm you also get some options for tweaking unity
[07:59] <d4gg3r> any aidea how to install this? libplds4.so.0d?
[07:59] <bullgard4> paspro: Be careful. Gwibber is fairly safe. If you mingle it with Twitter/Facebook you will abandon some security.
[07:59] <tbf> kezzawd: thanks for all your help. i am happy for the moment :-)
[07:59] <Rehan> KNUBBIG: this may work for you: http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/lucidubuntu-10-04-high-resolution-plymouth-virtual-terminal-for-atinvidia-cards-with-proprietaryrestricted-driver/
[07:59] <Rehan> KNUBBIG: it didn't work for me though
[07:59] <kezzawd> tbf: np
[07:59] <KNUBBIG> Rehan: yes, it worked vor me in 10.04 and 10.10 but not anymore :(
[07:59] <d4gg3r> I wanna run nm-applet in 11.04, but it didn't work... with this error: nm-applet: error while loading shared libraries: libplds4.so.0d: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[07:59] <d4gg3r>
[08:00] <M13up> paspro: I didn't know, thats why i was here asking. thanks to others i found it, so I just put up my findings.  If you knew you could have said!! :) - no point after iv'e solved it.
[08:00] <Rehan> KNUBBIG: do your virtual terminals work?
[08:00] <purvesh> can some one help me for upgrading from alternate iso, i had already mounted iso to cdrom0 but when i try to to run: gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade" it wont show any effect or any upgrade screen what to do ?
[08:00] <Rehan> purvesh: try it without the quotes
[08:00] <paspro> bullgard4: I am just wondering if I can click directly on gwibber's pop up notifications to open the gwibber interface directly.
[08:01] <ichbinder> Hey there. When I start Skype from a link as an application it crashes after a few seconds. When I start it from a terminal or as application in terminal, it works smoothly. Any idea what could be the problem?
[08:01] <purvesh> Rehan, no any changes without quotes ... same issue ...
[08:02] <usr13> purvesh: ls /cdrom/cdromupgrade
[08:02] <kezzawd> d4gg3r - try http://bit.ly/mRxybs
[08:03] <usr13> purvesh: If you mounted to cdrom0, wouldn't it be  sh /cdrom0/cdromupgrade  ?
[08:04] <greenit> hi, i have a problem with my network-manager.... the indicator in the upper right corner doesn't work correctly... i can't click it.... can any1 help me plz? :S  (natty)
[08:04] <usr13> purvesh: ls /cdrom0/cdromupgrade
[08:04] <purvesh> usr13, nope not working even i had also tried cdrom0/
[08:04] <Rehan> hi usr13
[08:04] <usr13> greenit: sudo apt-get install wicd ; sudo apt-get remove network-manager
[08:05] <greenit> usr13: what is wicd?
[08:05] <purvesh> usr13, m trying at run (alt + F2)

[08:05] <Rehan> could anyone help me with why my tty's dont work? If I do "telinit 3" it returns nothing.
[08:06] <usr13> greenit: Try it, you'll like it.
[08:06] <ichbinder> nope, I start it not as root. Normal priviliges.
[08:06] <greenit> usr13: is it better than the normal networkmanager?
[08:06] <usr13> !upstart | Rehan
[08:07] <disappearedng> whats the best tool to do mock ups on ubuntu (other than gimp)
[08:07] <d4gg3r> kezzawd, ok
[08:07] <purvesh> usr13, nothing happened now what to do bro ?
[08:07] <usr13> Rehan: Since we started using Upstart, runlevels are pretty much irrelevant
[08:07] <Rehan> usr13: do you know what could be causing my virtual terminals to just give a black screen?
[08:07] <usr13> purvesh: ls -l /cdrom0/cdromupgrade  returns nothing?
[08:07] <_genuser_> ok ubuntu about to get unstable.
[08:07] <d4gg3r> kezzawd, could you please provide me with the full link, bit.ly is filtered in iran :D
[08:07] <_genuser_> just changed a bunch of lines.
[08:07] <purvesh> usr13, yup ...
[08:08] <_genuser_> errrr they let you have linux in iran?
[08:08] <usr13> Rehan: Well, I suppose they could be turned off.
[08:08] <usr13> purvesh: ls -l /cdrom/cdromupgrade
[08:08] <greenit> usr13: does wicd also have an indicator?
[08:08] <usr13> greenit: yes
[08:08] <Rehan> usr13: i didn't turn them off...my plymouth doesn't show either, i'm thinking its some video driver issues...could you help?
[08:08] <usr13> purvesh: mount |grep cdrom
[08:08] <greenit> usr13: do i have to log out to see it?^^
[08:08] <dualcore> do you guys like 11.04
[08:08] <dualcore> or gnome 3
[08:09] <greenit> i like it
[08:09] <usr13> purvesh: What command did you use to mount the ISO?
[08:09] <usr13> greenit: Me too.
[08:09] <greenit> thx 4 help, cya :)
[08:09] <purvesh> usr13, sudo mount -o loop ~/Desktop/ubuntu-11.04-alternate-i386.iso /media/cdrom0
[08:10] <kezzawd> d4gg3r: here you go http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5987637&postcount=11 - the problem you are having is related to Flash
[08:10] <purvesh> usr13, and cd is mounted also
[08:10] <bullgard4> paspro: I do not know. I just opened my Gwibber to test this but at this moment there does not appear a notification.
[08:10] <usr13> purvesh: sudo sh /media/cdrom0/cdromupgrade
[08:10] <purvesh> usr13, i can also see that cdromupgrade file
[08:10] <usr13> purvesh: the tab key is your   friend
[08:10] <purvesh> usr13, Thanx a lot now it works
[08:10] <_genuser_> anybody on lucid?
[08:10] <usr13> purvesh: NP
[08:11] <_genuser_> 10.04?
[08:11] <bullgard4> dualcore: I do like 11.04 but I do not use GNOME 3 yet. I consider it too early to use it. I am using GNOME 2.
[08:11] <Baskak> hi, i have a failure following upgrade to 11.04. after the upgrade was on its way for some time, i have found the system in the following state: https://picasaweb.google.com/108748234852103512253/U1104upgradefailure#, and nearly frozen. no other option than "skinny elephants" seemed to work. now it doesn't start, halts on something called "plymouth", also in recovery mode. ps. fresh install...
[08:11] <Baskak> ...is really not a possibility to me.
[08:11] <usr13> _genuser_: Yes
[08:11] <_genuser_> usr13: can I ask you to please post your /etc/apt/sources.list file? please?
[08:11] <_genuser_> usr13: using pastebin.
[08:11] <richiefrich> _genuser_: all ok?
[08:12] <usr13> http://pastebin.com/g13seAsw
[08:12] <_genuser_> richiefrich: hehe, the install is gone to heck. So either gotta use 10.04 sources.list to install all packages from it, OR re-install.
[08:12] <richiefrich> _genuser_: do you like it :P
[08:12] <paspro> bullgard4: every time you put the mouse on top of a gwibber notification it fades out and cannot be clicked.
[08:12] <Bin_Laden> I changed my name
[08:12] <richiefrich> _genuser_: =o
[08:12] <_genuser_> usr13: thanks so much. I apprecaite your help.
[08:12] <ichbinder> so, nobody has an idea why skype works when it's started from terminal but not as an application?
[08:12] <_genuser_> richiefrich: no, it doens't even load ANYTHIGN>
[08:12] <usr13> _genuser_: NP
[08:12] <_genuser_> richiefrich: just a blackscreen.
[08:12] <bullgard4> paspro: You mentioned this before.
[08:13] <richiefrich> _genuser_: wow nice
[08:13] <richiefrich> _genuser_: lol
[08:13] <_genuser_> richiefrich: but that's why you don't upgrade. which is what you just did.
[08:13] <richiefrich> right
[08:13] <richiefrich> i didnt upgrade
[08:13] <greenit> hey usr13: how can i create a wireless network with wicd?
[08:13] <_genuser_> richiefrich: meaning you restricted the upgrade.
[08:13] <usr13> Rehan: You have only tty 7 ?
[08:14] <richiefrich> _genuser_: i win \o/
[08:14] <_genuser_> richiefrich: yeah, I won't be upgrading either once 10.04 is installed.
[08:14] <_genuser_> richiefrich: lol, i win. that's funny.
[08:14] <bear_> i have xubuntu 10.10 amd 64, 1.5ghz  2 ddr2,dual boot.. what do i do for a os ?
[08:14] <usr13> greenit: Create a wireless network?
[08:14] <Rehan> usr13: yeah i guess so, everything else is a black screen.
[08:14] <usr13> greenit: You mean connect to one?
[08:14] <greenit> usr13: i wanna open an ad-hoc wireless network... how can i do this with wicd?
[08:14] <richiefrich> _genuser_: what i dont get is when i cat /etc/debian_version  i see -> squeeze/sid
[08:14] <richiefrich> _genuser_: you would think it be different on ubuntu
[08:14] <Rehan> usr13: not sure if its because of driver display issues or what
[08:16] <ben21> hello
[08:16] <_genuser_> richiefrich: nah, it's the same thing. like firefox, netscape, and tons others used to get in to the office in the morning run source checkout of mozilla and rebrand it and release it. And they all had same security bugs. lol.
[08:16] <usr13> greenit: Click on Network ->
[08:16] <Rehan> usr13: crazy how you're multitasking, sorry about the PM, i mistook you for someone else
[08:16] <ben21> i an stuck at "Enabling additional executable binary formats binfmt-support" in tthe upgrad process from maverick what should i do now ?
[08:17] <usr13> greenit: Click on Network -> Create an Ad-Hoc Network
[08:17] <ben21> if i reboot i die?
[08:17] <bkerensa>  /join #ubuntu-us-or
[08:17] <usr13> Rehan: May not be a mistake.
[08:18] <bullgard4> ben21: What do you mean by "I am stuck" precisely?
[08:18] <greenit> usr13: where is network?
[08:18] <_genuser_> richiefrich: ok, so I just fixed up all the sources.list file to lucid ones and now update manager says run a partial upgrade. errr partial upgrade to what? lol.
[08:18] <wonginator1221> Is there a hotkey I can press/set to restart unity if it crashes without doing a hard shutdown?
[08:18] <usr13> upper left corner
[08:18] <_genuser_> richiefrich: running that. since I think I miht have to reinstall anyhoo.
[08:18] <usr13> greenit: Did you reboot after installing wicd?
[08:19] <greenit> usr13: nope, i just logged out and in again
[08:19] <richiefrich> _genuser_: wish you luck
[08:19] <ben21> bullgard4, it doesn't progress anymore, i don't now more
[08:19] <usr13> greenit: and did you add our user to netdev
[08:20] <usr13> ?
[08:20] <_genuser_> richiefrich: it's a fun experience. if it works or if it's a re-install.  Using truecrypt for windows, I was noticing on AES, it was noticeably slow. Very noticeable. On linux those I'd only do the swap and home partition on a slow computer.
[08:21] <bullgard4> How does MetaCity change if I assert in gconf-editor: apps->metacity->general->compositing_manager? (I did read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compositing)
[08:22] <richiefrich> _genuser_: ahh
[08:22] <richiefrich> _genuser_: let me know, if you try it
[08:23] <_genuser_> richiefrich:  will do. if not here in #gentoo. :) looking to get the raid1 server to LUKS eventually
[08:23] <usr13> greenit: What?
[08:23] <richiefrich> _genuser_: yeah or you can join my channel :P
[08:23] <_genuser_> richiefrich: you have a channel?
[08:23] <richiefrich> _genuser_: oh yeah
[08:23] <brandonc503> if i have a sftp users and im trying to give them one folder to upload to, is that what im reading is jailing?
[08:23] <_genuser_> richiefrich: lot of work to keep it going no?
[08:23] <richiefrich> _genuser_: ill pm you
[08:23] <ben21> bullgard4, what all my intervention? i don't know what to do
[08:23] <usr13> greenit: In the wicd install process, it should have asked what users you wanted to add to the group netdev.  RIght?
[08:24] <greenit> usr13: yeah, and i checked my user
[08:24] <greenit> usr13: like that: [*] greenit
[08:24] <bullgard4> ben21: What happens if you simply press the Enter key?
[08:24] <ben21> bullgard4, i get a new line
[08:25] <alib-da-> morning all
[08:25] <bullgard4> ben21: But that is all? Ubuntu does not continue upgrading?
[08:25] <usr13> greenit: Ok, you should be good to go then.  Should work for you.
[08:25] <ben21> bullgard4, yes exactly
[08:26] <greenit> usr13: and how can i create an ad-hoc wireless network?
[08:26] <ben21> bullgard4, also the upgrad windows seems frozen since i can"t hide/display the terminal part
[08:26] <greenit> usr13: in natty narwhal, so i don't have the 3 menu-buttons in the upper left corner^^
[08:27] <paspro> Question: is there a GNOME irc client that is better than xchat and similar to kvirc in features?
[08:28] <ben21> paspro, better than xchat ?
[08:28] <paspro> ben21: yes
[08:28] <ben21> paspro, ok
[08:28] <bullgard4> ben21: If the upgrade windows seems frozen, this seems normal because the upgrade process  should not be interrupted.
[08:28] <paspro> ben21: xchat is rather primitive
[08:29] <ben21> bullgard4, ok that's a releaf so what now ?
[08:29] <ben21> bullgard4, i sould avoid rebooting ever, maybe i'get a nice uptime then
[08:30] <_genuser_> ok, time to rsyn /home and re-install.
[08:30] <_genuser_> rsync
[08:31] <bullgard4> ben21: I  do not know how to help you. This never happed with me at my many upgrades. --  I am afraid that you will need abandoning the upgrade process. This is very deplorable.
[08:31] <alib-da-> how do i register my nickname? is it the same as xchat?
[08:32] <Guest3380> alib-da-, type /msg NickServ help
[08:32] <bullgard4> alib-da-: Join #freenode and ask there again.

[08:33] <Guest89799> Hello there
[08:33] <Romance> was there some issue with 11.04 and nvidia ati card?
[08:34] <bullgard4> Romance: Yes.
[08:34] <tyreza> hello
[08:34] <usr13> tyreza: fsck
[08:34] <tyreza> anyone there ?

[08:34] <Romance> bullgard4, this guy Rehan have problem with his 11.04 and nvidia ati card
[08:34] <tyreza> i m asking you for a command to check for filesystem
[08:35] <botcity> !fsck | tyreza
[08:35] <llutz_> couldn't someone fix that ubottu factoid please, shutdown -F won't work since upstart came into ubuntu
[08:35] <tyreza> no is there any other method to check ?
[08:35] <_genuser_> dang it.
[08:35] <tyreza> filesystem

[08:36] <usr13> tyreza: fdisk -l
[08:36] <Jordan_U> ben21: Or try killing the process that's hung, like "sudo pkill binfmt"
[08:36] <Mrokii> Hi. When I open a Gnome-Terminal, the scrollbar on the right works as usual (plus the scrollwheel. But if I open a GNU-screen-session, the scrollbar (the button within it) is always as high as the window and I can't scroll with the mouosewheel anymore. Can this be fixed?
[08:36] <Jordan_U> ben21: You should also know that if needed you can re-install while preserving your home directory, even if it's not on a separate partition.
[08:37] <brandonc503> from https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/packagingguide/C/appendix-chroot.html did sudo debootstrap --variant=buildd edgy /var/chroot/ http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ and got Failed getting relase file http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy/Release
[08:37] <usr13> tyreza: What exactly do you need to do?
[08:38] <SerialMDK> anyone got a minute to help a linux noob?

[08:38] <KNUBBIG> !ask SerialMDK
[08:38] <tyreza> i simply want to make sure that my filesystem is ext3 instead of ext4 usr13

[08:52] <ejv> is gnome3 supported here?
[08:52] <oetzi> hi guys
[08:52] <tyreza> as i got lots of native  i don't know which one is "mine" usr13
[08:52] <ejv> not sure it is...
[08:52] <usr13> Actually, I need to move Rehan back over  here, he does not have any console terminals and I'm trying to figure out why.  I think his monitor just does not support the outupt.
[08:52] <greenit> i have a problem with ubuntu 11.04... i can't create a wireless ad-hoc network.... and i can't even click the netwok-indicator... any1 knows what to do (and i won't install wicd)?
[08:53] <oetzi> since yesterday I have problems with gdm login screen, first I thought my keyboard crashed but then i noticed that I have to press each key for 1 or 2 seconds to make them work
[08:53] <vak> hi all
[08:54] <Rehan> but usr13 what resolution would the console terminals be displaying in? Could it be that its requiring some 2D driver or bios video driver and since I have nvidia 3D proprietary drivers its causing issues?
[08:54] <vak> How to get Eclipse and its icon pinned to Launcher in Ubuntu Unity?
[08:54] <oetzi> after login everythings ok again
[08:54] <oetzi> using 11.04
[08:54] <aks_wahi_> plz help i am getting INPUT NOT SUPPORTED error what to do ? I  am new to ubuntu and know nothing about the commands and terminal...
[08:54] <g4> hi, how can I remove that unity bar and get the old menu back? I tried to log in with classic, but didn't get the old menu?
[08:54] <wolfreak> @oetzi try restarting, going to the recovery mode at the beginning menu then hit "Failsafe graphics mode"
[08:55] <blackbit> why everything I read is double?
[08:55] <wolfreak> @blackbit you have doublevision?
[08:55] <blackbit> no, other rooms are fine. Its just this room: each message is displayed twice
[08:56] <oetzi> wolfreak thank you I will try this
[08:56] <greenit> i want to set up an ad-hoc network, how can i do this in natty?
[08:56] <ycat> blackbit: restart your client?
[08:56] <wolfreak> Or just use an online client. http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=ubuntu is what I'm on
[08:57] <norbert_> hi all
[08:57] <norbert_> I just dist-upgraded the Ubuntu on this machine
[08:57] <norbert_> I'm looking for a way to get back the overview of what windows are open
[08:58] <norbert_> in the south I had a bar that had like a window switcher
[08:58] <kezzawd> norbert: try 'Super' and 'W'
[08:58] <zniavre> somebody knows why handle grip is so visible ?
[08:58] <norbert_> kezzawd: I mean an overview that's always there, that I can directly click on the button/tab (application) I want
[08:59] <wolfreak> @norbert are you on 11.04?
[08:59] <kezzawd> greenit: you could try http://bit.ly/mnjCoK
[08:59] <norbert_> I don't know what version I'm on
[08:59] <norbert_> this is Ubuntu, but it has a /etc/debian_version with squeeze/sid in it
[09:00] <aks_wahi_> plz help i am getting INPUT NOT SUPPORTED error what to do ? I  am new to ubuntu and know nothing about the commands and terminal...
[09:00] <kezzawd> norbert_: not sure there is such a thing
[09:00] <wolfreak> @norbert do you have 2 bars at the top and bottom? or just one at the top?
[09:00] <norbert_> it just updated and there's now a list of icons on the left
[09:00] <norbert_> wolfreak: just one at the top
[09:00] <norbert_> and I'm looking for a way to get the bottom (south) bar back
[09:00] <brandonc503> so if i had version 10 and did sudo debootstrap --variant=buildd lucid/var/chroot/ http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/     and now im getting lots of retrieving and validating things.. did it just upgrade to 11?
[09:00] <norbert_> because it had a list of buttons with the applications
[09:00] <norbert_> I want to be able to see what I have open
[09:01] <wolfreak> @norbert log out, at the bottom hit "Ubuntu classic mode", that'll give you the old look back
[09:01] <norbert_> and it allows me to quickly select the application I want
[09:01] <norbert_> without pressing Alt+Tab or Super+W
[09:01] <norbert_> wolfreak: thanks :)
[09:01] <kezzawd> norbert_: as far as I'm aware the panel in unity doesn't have a window menu app -  which I think is what you're after
[09:02] <norbert_> ok
[09:02] <ar71k> Anyone know how to get a rss feed for reddit.com/r/ubuntu?
[09:02] <norbert_> there's another problem that hopefully will be gone when I go to Ubuntu classic mode
[09:02] <norbert_> which is that if I press the "Terminal" icon, it cannot launch twice
[09:02] <norbert_> I know I can pick a new Terminal from the top in the menu, but that takes a lot more time than just clicking the icon
[09:02] <botcity> norbert_, unity uses the bar to the left. "sort of like that"
[09:03] <kezzawd> norbert_: in Unity default keyboard  shortcut for a terminal window is Ctrl Alt and T
[09:03] <ar71k> GNOME 3 BABY
[09:03] <norbert_> botcity: yeah, but it doesn't allow me to launch the Terminal twice
[09:03] <feyisayo_> Hey everyone, I running natty and have get installed on it. But I cannot get the kget window to display. Any ideas?
[09:03] <ar71k> sure u can u just drag and drop
[09:03] <norbert_> botcity: it only allows me to pick from the menu File -> Open Terminal
[09:03] <norbert_> kezzawd: ok, but I prefer the icon :P
[09:04] <ar71k> applications drag terminal into session
[09:04] <norbert_> anyways, thanks, going back to the old version... logging out... :)
[09:04] <botcity> norbert_, i use ctl + alt + t .. pressing twice !
[09:04] <ar71k> howkey still works
[09:04] <ar71k> opens two terminals
[09:04] <ar71k> just testd
[09:04] <kezzawd> norbert_: you can still create desktop launchers from a right-click which will give you what you arte after
[09:05] <Axlin> personally, i still think they should have a "open new instance" option when you right click an icon on the launcher... at the very least :)
[09:05] <SerialMDK> i installed 11.04 along side win 7 and i dont get grub
[09:05] <kezzawd> Axlin: I agree
[09:05] <ar71k> dont need desktop cause the applications menu is a desktop, gnome do, google and wiki search and a dash
[09:05] <ar71k> Anyone know how to get a rss feed for reddit.com/r/ubuntu?
[09:05] <ar71k> came in here for that lol
[09:05] <usalabs> yeah, the launcher/sidebar only allows single instances, and there's no taskbar that's relied upon by progs such as cryptkeeper
[09:06] <ar71k> nah u can open multiple with a drag and drop
[09:06] <ar71k> you can open multiple programs on multiple workspace with one mouse click
[09:06] <SerialMDK> any one help me with that problem?
[09:06] <ar71k> per program
[09:06] <Axlin> yeah that's the other thing. i don't get what's up with the systray whitelist. at least they allow you to add "all" to the whitelist
[09:07] <ar71k> i dunno at first i hated it but after using it for a day and playing some games in it... i like it a lot now
[09:07] <unreal_> Hey.  I was curious, where could I find a list of the necessary dependencies for the latest version of wine?
[09:07] <usalabs> ok, I have Xchat open right now, but if I click on the Xchat in the launcher, another instance does NOT happen
[09:07] <wolfreak> @ar71k  on any reddit page, type ".rss" at the end of the url and you'll get the rss feed. for ubuntu, it'll be http://www.reddit.com/r/ubuntu.rss
[09:07] <ar71k> ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
[09:07] <kezzawd> ar71k: How do you open multiple instances of an application with one click ?
[09:07] <ar71k> thats the latest
[09:07] <ActionParsnip> usalabs: you can find that at http://packages.ubuntu.com
[09:08] <Axlin> unreal_: if you want to see dependencies, you can find the package in synaptic package manager, right click, choose properties, dependencies tab
[09:08] <ActionParsnip> ar71k: latest doesn't mean better when it comes to wine
[09:08] <bullgard4> How does MetaCity change if I assert in gconf-editor: apps->metacity->general->compositing_manager? (I did read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compositing)
[09:08] <ar71k> kezzawd: drag application into workspace
[09:08] <llutz_> unreal_: apt-cache depends wine
[09:08] <ar71k> kezzawd:twice without closing workspace
[09:08] <unreal_> thanks for the replies all.
[09:08] <ar71k> sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
[09:09] <ActionParsnip> ar71k: some apps prefer the older versions, you need to check the appdb for compatibility
[09:09] <Axlin> unreal_: oh, i forgt the command line, if you're interested: apt-cache depends <package>
[09:09] <kezzawd> ar71k: not happening for me - just getting default screen-edge behaviour for Unity
[09:09] <ar71k> ActionParsnip: o my bad lol
[09:09] <Axlin> uh.. yeah, what llutz said. sorry
[09:10] <usalabs> nope, dragging the icon from the launcher, to the workspace only puts it back in the launcher, tried it with different icons
[09:10] <ar71k> usalabs:talking about in gnome 3
[09:11] <usalabs> Natty?
[09:11] <kezzawd> ar71k: OK - talking Unity here
[09:11] <unreal_> axiin, cool.  what I am really looking to do, is uninstall all the wine dependencies, and then reinstall them.
[09:11] <ar71k> kezzawd: LOL this whole time?
[09:11] <unreal_> so I appreciate the info.  :)
[09:11] <unreal_> y
[09:12] <ar71k> gnome 3 is still pretty buggy tho
[09:12] <ar71k> i wana put it on my parent's computer for them but its too unstable i think
[09:12] <nothingspecial> middle click on the icon
[09:12] <stix> Hi guys. I just upgraded to 11.04 but I don't like unity. How can I start Gnome again?
[09:12] <kezzawd> ar71k: Yeah well norbert_ was certainly talking about Unity when he was referring to opening more than one instance of an app - jeez
[09:13] <Axlin> stix: log out and select ¨ubuntu classic" as the session
[09:13] <ar71k> kezzawd: I am elevated right now you'll have to forgive me
[09:13] <stix> Axlin, I cannot select anything at the bottom of the login-screen as I used to
[09:13] <nothingspecial> To open a new instance in unity
[09:13] <brandonc503> How would I make sure that my sftp users can only access there home directory?
[09:14] <red2kic> brandonc503: What else than to test it yourself? ;o
[09:14] <ActionParsnip> brandonc503: it uses the unix permissions in the filesystem
[09:14] <ActionParsnip> brandonc503: so you can set the access they get with chmod and chown as if they were local :)
[09:14] <botcity> !classic | stix
[09:14] <usalabs> stix: run the app 'Login Screen' in system settings -> system and select 'classic' in the session drop down, then restart pc
[09:15] <llutz_> brandonc503: man sshd_config (ChrootDirectory)
[09:15] <Baskak> anybody? sorry if i missed something
[09:15] <stix> usalabs, thanks, that must do it :)
[09:16] <wolfreak> I'm back,. Baskak, do you need help?
[09:16] <ar71k> I'm colorblind
[09:16] <Baskak> yes, pls
[09:16] <Baskak> hi, i have a failure following upgrade to 11.04. after the upgrade was on its way for some time, i have found the system in the following state: https://picasaweb.google.com/108748234852103512253/U1104upgradefailure#, and nearly frozen. no other option than "skinny elephants" seemed to work. now it doesn't start, halts on something called "plymouth", also in recovery mode. ps. fresh install...
[09:16] <Baskak> ...is really not a possibility to me.
[09:16] <FloodBot3> Baskak: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:16] <Baskak> sorry
[09:17] <wolfreak> sorry, hold on let me read this lol i had to get my water :P.
[09:18] <wolfreak> Are you using a different language intentionally?
[09:18] <bullgard4> How does MetaCity change if I assert in gconf-editor: apps->metacity->general->compositing_manager? (I did read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compositing)
[09:19] <wolfreak> @Baskak, try logging out, hitting "Ubuntu Classic" at the bottom.
[09:20] <Baskak> wolfreak, i can start the system at all, booting stops at "plymouth"
[09:20] <Baskak> *can't
[09:20] <wolfreak> and you've tried recovery mode too?
[09:20] <Baskak> yes, no diff
[09:20] <wolfreak> the failsafe graphics mode in recovery mode?
[09:20] <Baskak> it doesn't reach the recovery mode menu
[09:21] <blackbit> but he does reach the grub item 'rescue mode' I guess
[09:21] <Dbugger> Hello. How can I add more workspaces in natty?
[09:21] <wolfreak> That's, strange.. I would go ahead and give it a reinstall, unless you already have. surely if it's a fresh install you haven't downloaded much to lose
[09:22] <Baskak> blackbit: ubuntu (...) 2.6.38-8-generic rescue mode (at least that's how it probably sounds in english)
[09:23] <Baskak> blackbit: trying again now
[09:23] <Baskak> wolfreak: it was an upgrade, not a fresh install
[09:23] <blackbit> baskak: upgrades are being a curse
[09:24] <Baskak> wolfreak: during my linux history i did some 20 fresh installs, and i am totally fed up
[09:24] <Quarterstaff> I keep getting the same error message whether I attempt to update by Terminal, synaptic or update manager. the message reads. E: The method driver /usr/lib/apt/methods/htt could not be found. Should I re-install?
[09:24] <blackbit> baskak: just be prepared in case something fail. have a burned ISO of the 11.04, backup of data, home and so on...
[09:24] <wolfreak> I understand how you feel. I created a new partition for my home and usr since I reinstalled it so much.
[09:26] <wolfreak> so rather than losing my files and whatnot, it just reset the system files, excluding my home folder and application files.
[09:26] <ActionParsnip> wolfreak: your backups will prevent data loss
[09:26] <Baskak> blackbit: sorry, it doesn't seem an option for a workstation... maybe for testing alphas and betas. i need to repair. update: now the system loops on "failed to enumerate usb device..."
[09:27] <wolfreak> @ActionParsnip Yeah I know, but I mean like when you go reinstalling ubuntu you have to format the partition, so I have a dedicated partition to my home folder. :P
[09:28] <wolfreak> @Baskak, try posting a post on http://reddit.com/u/ubuntu
[09:29] <Baskak> wolfreak: thanks, you think no appropriate expert here?
[09:29] <Baskak> or try again here another time?
[09:30] <blackbit> baskak, try ubuntu forums and google, I bet the online community will be able to help you
[09:30] <wolfreak> No some are experts here, but it's night at the US and other places.
[09:30] <Baskak> wolfreak: ps. this address http://reddit.com/u/ubuntu is wrong...
[09:30] <wolfreak> http://reddit.com/r/ubuntu that's it, sorry haha.
[09:30] <Baskak> wolfreak: i see :)
[09:31] <Baskak> thx
[09:31] <wolfreak> don't try ubuntuforums, they don't ever help, they just leave you hanging then mark you solved even tho it wasn't. use linuxforums.
[09:31] <Baskak> thanks for advice and concern anyway :)
[09:32] <wolfreak> @baskak but yeah I'd go ahead and make a post on reddit, that's a very popular site and you'll be sure to have quite a few replies inthe morning =]
[09:32] <ActionParsnip> wolfreak: if you drop the @ symbol it will highlight the text
[09:33] <ActionParsnip> wolfreak: the drive can still fail, then no manner of seperate partitioning will save you
[09:33] <usalabs> To remind everyone, there is a bug in Natty seahorse that prevents uploading an SSH key to remote server, it has been reported
[09:34] <wolfreak> what do you mean highlight? lol.
[09:34] <wolfreak> and I know i can lose my stuff but I do back it up once every month or so.
[09:34] <wfstgfds> hi
[09:35] <blackbit> wolfreak: just use 2 hard disks in raid :)
[09:35] <blackbit> or simply 2 hard disks manually mirrorer
[09:35] <andeeeuk> hi everyone
[09:36] <wolfreak> I'm not that concerned about my data.all I really do is use firefox, listen to music on grooveshark, and download porn. I'm not like running a server or anything lol
[09:36] <andeeeuk> is it possible to edit the panel at the top and also the menu?
[09:36] <jatt> andeeeuk: no, it's not possible to edit the top panel in unity
[09:37] <andeeeuk> jatt ok thanks
[09:37] <fardad> I don't have an ICEauthority file and I can't log in into gnome-shell, what should I do?
[09:37] <wolfreak> andeeeuk: not in unity, but if you log out, hit "ubuntu classic" at the bottom, you'll get the classic gnome look.
[09:37] <ActionParsnip> wolfreak: I guess, just warning :). Groovshark FTW
[09:37] <andeeeuk> jatt does that go for the menu also?
[09:37] <jatt> andeeeuk: yes, you cannot move it for example
[09:38] <andeeeuk> wolfreak yeah, I do like unity so was going to stick with it for a while
[09:38] <wolfreak> Your choice haha.
[09:38] <andeeeuk> jatt i know you cannot move it i was just thinking of transparency and stuff like that
[09:38] <andeeeuk> its all good
[09:39] <andeeeuk> was suprised how good unity was
[09:41] <usalabs> andeeeuk don't know what he's let himself in for lol, unity?, yeah right!, I use gnome classic and always will :)
[09:41] <ActionParsnip> usalabs: gone
[09:41] <fardad> how can I regenerate the .ICEauthority file?
[09:41] <ActionParsnip> fardad: did you delete yours?
[09:41] <kezzawd> usalabs: you are assuming that there will always be a 'gnome classic'
[09:41] <ReBoot> Hi guys.
[09:42] <ActionParsnip> hi ReBoot
[09:42] <wolfreak> ActionParsnip: haha heck yeah, if you have a GS account feel free to add me man, http://grooveshark.com/#/user/wolfreak/3512811?src=5
[09:42] <ReBoot> Am I at the right place asking technical questions about Ubuntu?
[09:42] <wolfreak> yup
[09:42] <fardad> ActionParsnip: I didn't have it in the first place
[09:42] <ReBoot> Nice.
[09:42] <ActionParsnip> wolfreak: nar I just use it, no account
[09:42] <serhat2> Hi. I am using Ubuntu 10.04, and I accidentally wrote "sudo rm -rf /var/*" and pressed enter. I had used sudo recently so it didnt ask for a password either, and the command ran for about 10 seconds till I woke up: )  So, How do I prevent executing commands like "sudo rm -rf /*" or with /usr/*   /var/* etc..  even with sudo ? thx..
[09:42] <fardad> ActionParsnip: And now it say can't update /home/username/.ICEauthority
[09:42] <ReBoot> So, I can't install it. Or I can, but not really. Let me explain.
[09:42] <fardad> ActionParsnip: s/say/says/
[09:42] <usalabs> well, if Ubuntu completely removes gnome, then it's time to move to either Mint, OpenSuse, or one of the others
[09:42] <ActionParsnip> fardad: its a standard file
[09:43] <ActionParsnip> fardad: try touching the file
[09:43] <fardad> ActionParsnip: tried it, still says can't update
[09:43] <ReBoot> The latest Ubuntu seems not to install the boot manager. I have Windows 7 installed, told Ubuntu to install side by side with 7, the installer runs through, at the end where I'm supposed to press Enter to restart, I press enter
[09:43] <ActionParsnip> usalabs: just use a different DE...
[09:43] <red2kic> serhat2: "sudo rm -rfi" -- Or add that to your alias so bad things don't always happen to nice people.
[09:43] <ReBoot> And after the reboot, there's no sign of Ubuntu at all. No boot manager, nothing.
[09:43] <helpmenowplease> hi. I have the black screen problem when upgrading from 10.10 to 11.04
[09:43] <red2kic> I took a big risk assuming you're a nice person though.
[09:43] <helpmenowplease> I've googled and found some misc solutions
[09:44] <helpmenowplease> is there some official solution/fix?
[09:44] <serhat2> is there a way to prevent that kind of misdeletion with SELinux or something?
[09:44] <usalabs> Reboot, try installing Ubuntu with wubi
[09:44] <ReBoot> Did it
[09:44] <ReBoot> The performance is horrible
[09:44] <ReBoot> I'd like to go native
[09:45] <ReBoot> I was also going to wipe Windows if Ubuntu meets my needs
[09:45] <ReBoot> So I'd like not to use Wubi
[09:45] <ActionParsnip> fardad: as far as I know, that should be generated when you first login
[09:46] <red2kic> ReBoot: Try Ubuntu LTS 10.04 if you want to go native. >_>
[09:46] <brandonc503> ActionParsnip: they can only manipulate files in there home directory as is, but they can see the entire file structure on computer
[09:46] <ReBoot> Can I upgrade from that to the latest Ubuntu then?
[09:46] <usalabs> ReBoot: you could try installing Ubuntu inside a virtual machine to try it out, using free VMware player
[09:46] <fardad> ActionParsnip: so there should be a problem with permissions?
[09:46] <red2kic> ReBoot: Sure.  Will try that later.
[09:47] <ReBoot> What's the downside of upgrading?
[09:48] <jatt> unity
[09:48] <th^^> new problems all over again
[09:48] <th^^> =)
[09:48] <helpmenowplease> anyone with 10.10->11.04 black screen problem fix?
[09:48] <th^^> jatt: not like it's forced or anything...
[09:48] <ActionParsnip> helpmenowplease: may help www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html
[09:48] <ojii> how do I move a window to another workspace in unity? In 10.10 I'd just right-click->move to workspace X
[09:48] <helpmenowplease> thanks, will take a look
[09:50] <usalabs> ojii: right click the app title bar
[09:50] <ojii> usalabs, right click does nothing there
[09:51] <usalabs> mmm, I just tried it on Xchat title bar, and I have a selection of move to another workspace, and has a choice of 2,3,4
[09:51] <ActionParsnip> brandonc503: http://olivier.sessink.nl/jailkit/howtos_sftp_scp_only.html   maybe
[09:52] <bromium> dear colleagues, please help configure dansguardian with privoxy on lubuntu 10.10 - i've done accroding to howtos, but either privoxy isn't used or doesn't let me go through it. i suspect there arte problems with iptables rules
[09:52] <ma2> How do you run Terminal in English interface while i am using a locale other than English?
[09:53] <jatt> LANG=en_US.utf8 gnome-terminal
[09:53] <usalabs> ojii: if the app is full screen, then click the 3rd icon on the left of the title bar to come off full screen, then you should be able to right click the apps title bar
[09:54] <JenniferB2> After upgrading to 11.04, I have run into several issues.. first one was that the / would not mount and could not start the computer... now that Ive solved it, I am logged in but my gnome panel is gone.. and windows has no frame with X,...
[09:55] <popup> what's the besic differences of nautilus elementary?
[09:55] <blackbit> jeniffer82: what do you mean by no frame?
[09:55] <bromium> how to make lubuntu automatically connects to wi-fi network on my eee pc 701?
[09:55] <ojii> usalabs, wow that's *really* intuitive :(
[09:55] <ActionParsnip> bromium: you set it in network manager (or whatever app you use)
[09:56] <JenniferB2> blackbit: no window frame where the x (to close the window is ) ... also the gnome panel menus are gone
[09:56] <ActionParsnip> JenniferB2: press ALT+F2 and run:  metacity --replace
[09:56] <brandonc503> restrict SFTP to a user's home directory do i need a chroot enviroment, or can it be down with permissions?
[09:56] <JenniferB2> but those I have been able to start by running gnome-panel from console
[09:56] <usalabs> ojii: on the left of the title bar you have a red x, a minus and a squarre,,, click the square to come out of full screen
[09:56] <ActionParsnip> JenniferB2: that bit is called the window decorator
[09:56] <llutz_> brandonc503: you'll need a chroot
[09:56] <JenniferB2> ActionParsnip: thanks...
[09:57] <JenniferB2> will I have to do that everytime I start the computer ?
[09:57] <blackbit> jeniffer82: of course not. If something didn't went well after upgrade (common occurrence) then burn an iso of 11.04, backup your data and do a fresh install
[09:57] <ActionParsnip> JenniferB2: seems you ae having issue with compiz, do you use an nvidia video chip?
[09:57] <ojii> usalabs, I know how to get out of full screen mode (I prefer double-rightclick), I just find it really odd that I have to do that to move it to another workspace, ideally I'd be able to drag it but maybe that's asking too much
[09:57] <ActionParsnip> blackbit: probably not needed, lets see
[09:58] <JenniferB2> ActionParsnip: yes..
[09:58] <bromium> ActionParsnip: thanks, u'r right. it was simple & done
[09:58] <ultimatecoolstar> .
[09:58] <ActionParsnip> JenniferB2: uninstall the nvidia driver and reboot, then install it again and it may be better. Proprietary drivers aren't very good when people change release and they usually come round when you boot to the new kernel branch and install them
[09:59] <bromium> can sill anybody help me with privoxy? my comp is connected to a wi-fi network (i'm using a wifi router). i wnat to set up on my kids' comp privoxy and dansguardian. but no success so far
[09:59] <usalabs> ojii, I just tried the drag method it works, but only if the app is windowed
[09:59] <ojii> usalabs, didn't for me :(
[10:00] <ojii> guess I'll just stick to single-workspace mode
[10:00] <bullgard4> How does MetaCity change if I assert in gconf-editor: apps->metacity->general->compositing_manager? (I did read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compositing)
[10:00] <mutante> Whats the way to go to update php-gd ? I need a newer GD, but i dont necessarily need to touch the PHP version itself...
[10:00] <maxillusionist> what is this called privoxy should i google it
[10:00] <maxillusionist> coz i have not used such things
[10:00] <kellnola> it's a proxy.
[10:00] <maxillusionist> ok kellnola
[10:00] <ojii> also, is there any hack out yet to move the damn 'unitybar'? I have a 4 screen setup + synergy. now the bar is in the middle of my screens and hard to 'activate'
[10:00] <kellnola> bromium, what is the problem? been a while since I used it, but it's pretty basic ...
[10:01] <bromium> well, i've read articles and manuals accroding to them squid is slower than privoxy
[10:01] <dxdemetriou> can I have the old-per-window-menubar back in unity to be the default? (http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/27688/)
[10:01] <bromium> the problem i doesn't work
[10:01] <kellnola> bromium, hmm. privoxy is not the heavyweight program squid is ... it might be faster for a little lan
[10:01] <bromium> looks like i've got to set up iptables, too. done as in manuals - no connection, no internet or no proxibiting bad sites
[10:01] <tuhin> my usb to ps2 mouse+keyboard converter sometimes dont work , but works after restart. Is there any command to re-caliberate/reinstall certain usb keyboard/mouse without restarting computer?
[10:02] <maxillusionist> kellnola it is squid proxy then bromium wats the prob
[10:02] <usalabs> ojii, click on the workspace switcher, then drag the windowed app across to a workspace,, it works for me that way too
[10:02] <eevar> my dist-upgrade is currently "installing the upgrades", and lists "About 15 hours remaining". top/vmstat output here: http://pastebin.com/56Cp9hd1 -- any suggestions?
[10:02] <ActionParsnip> tuhin: could try removing then reloading the modules, it would need a keyboard though...
[10:02] <tuhin> i m on laptop
[10:02] <kellnola> bromium, but squid is simple enough to configure with dansguardian
[10:03] <tuhin> but use external keyboard, mouse and monitor  ActionParsnip
[10:03] <eevar> the disk does seem very slow most of the time. crappy laptop
[10:03] <bromium> i need privoxy only for a local machine to make it work with dansquardian
[10:03] <maxillusionist> bromium could you tell me why u need privoxy
[10:03] <ojii> ah thanks usalabs, still seems a bit too hard for such a trivial task, but that's nicer
[10:03] <usalabs> glad I could help
[10:03] <kellnola> bromium, my brief experience with privoxy about ten years ago was that it is flaky
[10:03] <bromium> kellnola: privoxy is also simple in settings, but nothing works. i even tried tinyproxy. looks like i'm doing something wrong. i suspect i can't setup iptables correctly
[10:04] <bromium> ok, any suggestions? i know that privoxy works as an adblock, too. what i need is a lightweight simple solution for parental control
[10:04] <Mrokii> Can somebody tell me how I can use indicators in 11.04 (adding them to the menubar)? I don't seem to find anything about it.
[10:04] <kellnola> bromium, yes, well when you're doing things like this it's best to disable the firewall temporarily until you get everything working
[10:04] <bromium> but this seems to be a pain in the ass on ubuntu
[10:04] <bromium> tried several things, though
[10:05] <jatt> Mrokii: which indicators?
[10:05] <bromium> firewall? what firewall i'm not using any unless there's a preinstalled one in lubuntu
[10:05] <kellnola> bromium, you mentioned iptables
[10:05] <mutante> bromium: iptables -vL should show you counters, like how many packets are actually filtered by the rules.. you can start that, try doing stuff, and watch the counters changing,, so you know if its that or not
[10:06] <maxillusionist> firewall is already installed with it
[10:06] <kezzawd> Mrokii: if you apt-cache search indicator you'll see a number of packages that yopu can install to give you indicators - there are also a number of ppa's for third party indicators at http://bit.ly/mTLbRa
[10:06] <maxillusionist> with all linux
[10:06] <JenniferB2> blackbit: yes.. but the problem with an approach like that I usually all the config files in various places will eb lost ... it is never that simple ..
[10:06] <ActionParsnip> bromium: there is but its unconfigured so lets everything in and out
[10:06] <Arney> Throttleling seems to be broken in my computer.
[10:06] <Mrokii> jatt, kezzawd: the problem is not "installing" but actually "using" them. I have installed a sysmonitor-indicator but I don't know how I can make it show up.
[10:06] <ActionParsnip> bromium: well, by default anyway
[10:07] <usalabs> ojii: you can also use the same method for full screen apps too
[10:07] <maxillusionist> wat is that called throttle in linux
[10:07] <ojii> oh nice
[10:07] <Arney> My computer runs fine when it is plugged, but lags its shit off when its running on battery.
[10:07] <jatt> Mrokii: you mean applets? like weather or system monitor applet?
[10:07] <Fahmida> Hi, where does Ubuntu temporarily store videos from Youtube and similar sites?
[10:07] <Mrokii> jatt: Aren't they called indicators in 11.04?
[10:07] <kellnola> Fahmida, /tmp I believe
[10:07] <ojii> usalabs, thanks a lot, that's how i want it ;-)
[10:07] <Mrokii> jatt: And yes, that is what I mean.
[10:08] <Arney> Mrokii: where do I adjust those
[10:08] <maxillusionist> fahmida it is in temp i guess
[10:08] <kezzawd> Mrokii: just search for it as an application and execute
[10:08] <maxillusionist> go to file manager then to temp
[10:08] <jakeriver> .
[10:08] <usalabs> ojii: yw
[10:08] <Fahmida> kellnola maxillusionist: Yeah, it was in /temp at first, but currently I see nothing in directory. :S
[10:08] <Mrokii> kezzawd: okay, I will try that, thanks.
[10:08] <Arney> How can I make my comp go hard core all the way?
[10:08] <Fahmida> Sorry, /tmp
[10:08] <Mrokii> Arney: That was my question :)
[10:09] <kellnola> Fahmida, make sure you do "ls -a" or enable viewing hidden files in nautilus
[10:09] <bromium> so in order to run a browser through proxy just changing browser settings doesn't work
[10:09] <NAAAAWW> yt
[10:09] <maxillusionist> fahmida u doewnloaded those with firefox ??
[10:09] <Mrokii> kezzawd: Thank you! That worked. Not too intuitive method though, but oh well.
[10:10] <NAAAAWW> My computers batery last longer in windows then in Ubuntu (Linux) Why is that?
[10:10] <Fahmida> kellnola: I did perform ls -a, nothing. maxillusionist: yeah.
[10:10] <maxillusionist> bromium have u tried foxyproxy
[10:10] <ActionParsnip> bromium: you can export the variables http_proxy and ftp_proxy and it should be ok, there's also the proxy app in preferences which may help too
[10:10] <NAAAAWW> Why does ubuntu drains my batery ? :(
[10:10] <kezzawd> Mrokii: np - like you say, not too intuitive
[10:11] <Flannel> NAAAAWW: Because using your computer drains your battery.
[10:11] <bullgard4> How does MetaCity change if I assert in gconf-editor: apps->metacity->general->compositing_manager? (I did read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compositing)
[10:11] <jibadeeha> Flannel, :)
[10:11] <NAAAAWW> I get about 5-8 hours on windows and 3-6 hours on ubuntu :(
[10:12] <maxillusionist> then could u see where firefox did the download just go to edit >preference>general easy fahmida
[10:12] <Hukka> Something happened, and my ipv6 setup broke at home. I'm using Hurricane Electric with freebsd end tunnel here. The tunnel can ping any ipv6 address, and my Ubuntu laptop is getting right ipv6 address, but is unable to ping anything else than link local addresses. Any hints?
[10:12] <bromium> i don't think i have to look at anoither server cause the problem in setting, imho. on lubuntu there is no an applet to change proxy setting for chromium, i change it form the command line, and it seems to be fine. still don't understand why i enter internet bypassing the privoxy
[10:13] <NAAAAWW> Does anyone know any way to get longer standby time in ubuntu... Like disable wlan, bluetooth etc
[10:13] <Fahmida> maxillusionist: It is not like that I think. I just watched that video, didn't download it. I watched with Firefox.
[10:13] <Arney> Mrokii: How did you fix the clock of your comp?
[10:14] <Fahmida> maxillusionist: In past, when I used to watch videos from those kind of site, Ubuntu stored it in /tmp
[10:14] <Fahmida> maxillusionist: but currently, I see nothing in that directory. So, I am wondering where it is getting stored.
[10:14] <usalabs> If anyone is interested and wants to auto hide the unity side bar, this site explains how:- http://maketecheasier.com/autohide-unity-launcher-in-ubuntu-natty/2011/04/20
[10:15] <ActionParsnip> Fahmida: use a browser addon/extension
[10:15] <NAAAAWW> I'm going to reinstall my Linux install and use Wubi to install Ubuntu, Witch version of Ubuntu is the best?
[10:15] <bullgard4> NAAAAWW:  There is a program available in Ubuntu made by Intel to analyze the power consumption of Linux computers. Get it installed. Analyze the power consumption of the components. Then read about ACPI and what you can do about it.
[10:15] <Mrokii> Arney: I didn't have any problems with the clock. What are you talking about?
[10:15] <Fahmida> ActionParsnip: I can, but I like that way.
[10:15] <Fahmida> ActionParsnip: Actually, I have one. ;)
[10:17] <NAAAAWW> What is the diffrence between Ubuntu and Ubuntu Netbook? Does a acer laptop with 500 gb harddrive, 4 gb ram, 1.3 gb Pentium Dualcore processor run best with ubuntu or ubuntu netbook?
[10:18] <jatt> ubuntu
[10:18] <jibadeeha> NAAAAWW, ubuntu
[10:18] <NAAAAWW> okey, and what is the diffrence?
[10:18] <Exposure> deadkeys got enabled after natty upgrade, how do I disable it?
[10:18] <ActionParsnip> NAAAAWW: its just the gui which is different, you can use either
[10:18] <sunit> I am trying to run the  cron job */10 *  *   *   *   ${installdir}/MagentoCreate/magentocreate.sh > /tmp/magentocreate.log 2>&1
[10:19] <NAAAAWW> Okey, I will download ubuntu 11.04 - desktop ... with Wubi :)
[10:19] <llutz_> NAAAAWW: netbook was "optimized" for low resolution displays
[10:19] <sunit> but I am getting error in log file as opt/backup/execute/02056/MagentoCreate/schedule.sh: 1: */10: not found
[10:19] <NAAAAWW> Thanks for your help :)

[10:21] <usalabs> Fahmida: firfox stores video and temp files in it's own cache folder located at /home/user/.mozilla/firefox/<a bunch of random letters.default>/Cache
[10:22] <Fahmida> usalabs: I see lots of folders named 1 2 3 4 5 A F D H ...
[10:23] <Fahmida> In which one? Or I have to check 'em all? :S
[10:23] <usalabs> Fahmida: check them all
[10:23] <ActionParsnip> Fahmida: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=547848
[10:24] <tasslehoff> Ubuntu is close to excellent on my MacBook Pro, but the Norwegian Layout is wrong. Which forum/channel should I post/talk to if I want to help this? Don't think I have the time/skills to do it on my own, but I can at least describe what's wrong :)
[10:25] <Fahmida> usalabs: I see 30/40 folders in each one. :(
[10:25] <usalabs> ActionParsnip: that link is not firefox specific, and assumes all browsers store their temp files in /tmp, but FF doesn't
[10:25] <maxillusionist> see in usr folder
[10:25] <maxillusionist> only
[10:25] <Fahmida> It becomes impossible to check for one single video. :S
[10:26] <kezzawd> tasslehoff: which mbp model do you have ?
[10:26] <tasslehoff> kezzawd: 6.2
[10:26] <usalabs> Fahmida: if you know the name of the video, you could try using a terminal and type sudo find / -name <video name>
[10:27] <kezzawd> tasslehoff: OK - thanks - I have a 7.1 but can't get Ubuntu to install on it
[10:27] <frogarmor> Hi. I'm trying to open some old text files from 1993 in Gedit. It's complaining about character encoding and not displaying anything.
[10:27] <frogarmor> i remember opening this file on windows just fine..
[10:28] <ActionParsnip> frogarmor: save the file as a different filename and it may help
[10:28] <aLeSD> someone know how could I deactivate the load of gnome-panel at startup ?
[10:28] <ActionParsnip> frogarmor: you may need to use dos2unix to make them ok
[10:28] <ActionParsnip> !info dos2unix
[10:28] <susundberg> thats not the case if it complains about character encoding
[10:29] <llutz_> !info iconv
[10:29] <vak> How to get Eclipse and its icon pinned to Launcher in Ubuntu Unity?
[10:29] <frogarmor> ActionParsnip: Thanks I'll look for that.
[10:29] <llutz_> susundberg: use "iconv" (from libc-bin package)
[10:29] <maxillusionist> fellas it is text files ok nothing technical
[10:29] <susundberg> i guess problem is that it has some weird encoding -- "What Windows terminology calls "ANSI encodings" are usually single-byte ISO-8859 encodings, except for in locales such as Chinese, Japanese and Korean that require double-byte character sets."
[10:29] <Fahmida> usalabs: Is there a graphical search panel?
[10:30] <usalabs> vak: open Eclipse and in the launcher, right click Eclipse and check the option 'Keep in Launcher"
[10:30] <vak> usalabs: it doesn't work any well
[10:31] <gedO> Hey guys
[10:31] <maxillusionist> hi

[10:31] <vak> usalabs: 2. I can't assign the correct icon (the question mark is shown instead)
[10:31] <gedO> Any Idea how to fix this??
[10:32] <Garry> maxillusionist. oh yeah let me try. Cheers
[10:32] <tuhin> i m on laptop, but use external keyboard, mouse and monitor  ,   my usb to ps2 mouse+keyboard converter sometimes dont work , but works after restart. Is there any command to re-caliberate/reinstall certain usb keyboard/mouse without restarting computer?
[10:32] <usalabs> vak: open your apps icon in the launcher, find Eclipse and drag the icon to the launcher
[10:32] <maxillusionist> try and tell garry
[10:33] <gedO> Hey guys. I'm having problem with my touchpad. After log in it dosn't works, but until I log in it works perfectly. any idea hoe to fix?
[10:33] <gedO> how/
[10:33] <gedO> how*
[10:33] <bullgard4> How does MetaCity change if I assert in gconf-editor: apps->metacity->general->compositing_manager? (I did read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compositing)
[10:33] <vak> usalabs: thanks for the tip about the icon, gonna try it! But what about disappearing of pinned application after logoff/login?
[10:34] <maxillusionist> ged0 install the latest driver
[10:34] <gedO> maxillusionsit: How?
[10:34] <gedO> maxillusionsit: How I can get them?
[10:34] <usalabs> vak: not sure of that one, but I tried the drag method, and the icon stays in the launcher after loggoff/logon
[10:34] <dijonyummy> is there a way to install a package, say with apt-get, or synaptic, or aptitude but also have it add an icon to the gnome app panel?
[10:34] <maxillusionist> first download them ged0
[10:34] <ElvisWang> I have the same problem with you. Touch pad powered by Synaptics
[10:35] <ejv> dijonyummy: most popular apps will populate the app list with an icon
[10:35] <gedO> maxillusionsit: From where?
[10:35] <usalabs> Fahmida: click on the circle above the launcher and click on 'Find Files' icon
[10:36] <ElvisWang> I don't think it is the problem of the driver
[10:36] <ElvisWang> The kernel I think
[10:36] <ejv> why don't you start by providing some vendor/model information
[10:36] <ejv> the help you get is only as good as the detail you provide.
[10:36] <dijonyummy> even apt-get, ok, i see, so its the apps fault, thanks
[10:37] <jetienne> q. is it possible to install ubuntu 11.04 on virtual box ?
[10:37] <ejv> jetienne: of course.
[10:37] <jetienne> ejv: any doc on it ? my install is stuck
[10:37] <ojii> for some reason the interface language in my login screen is in japanese, but after I login everything is in English (as it should be), how can I change/fix the language in my login screen?
[10:37] <jetienne> ejv: have you tried to install it ?
[10:38] <ejv> jetienne: i suggest joining #vbox for support
[10:38] <Guest54795> why is it the color of my movie is different
[10:38] <jetienne> ejv: hehe
[10:38] <jetienne> anybody tried to install 11.04 in virtual box ? how to get it thru ?
[10:39] <maxillusionist> jet i guess you have not tried vbox LOL
[10:39] <maxillusionist> ever LOL
[10:39] <ejv> jetienne: type /join #vbox
[10:39] <jetienne> ejv: i understood what you meant
[10:39] <jetienne> ejv: right now i need help on ubuntu. so i ask here
[10:39] <ejv> ubuntu doesn't support virtualbox. it's offtopic here.
[10:40] <jetienne> ejv: this is ok if you dont wanna help
[10:40] <jetienne> ejv: and installing ubuntu is ontopic
[10:40] <maxillusionist> i have used vbox in win but not in ubuntu
[10:40] <jetienne> maxillusionist: to install 11.04 ? any special option ?
[10:41] <maxillusionist> u mean what ??
[10:41] <jetienne> maxillusionist: you said you used virtual box on win, did you try to install ubuntu 11.04 with virtual box ?
[10:41] <KM0201> jetienne: if you're putting it in vbox, i would download the alternate cd ISo...... since vbox doesn't support 3D out of the box.. a lot of people had trouble using the Live ISO in vbox (during the beta, not sure if thats changed)
[10:42] <maxillusionist> no dude i have not downloaded it LOL
[10:42] <maxillusionist> it is still beta version i guess
[10:42] <KM0201> maxillusionist: no, 11.04 is fina;
[10:42] <KM0201> l
[10:42] <maxillusionist> what is the download size
[10:42] <jetienne> KM0201: ok... this is for the install... once it is installed with the alternate cd, is it possible to run it (even with the 3D issue) ?
[10:43] <jetienne> maxillusionist: 700mbyte
[10:43] <usalabs> maxillusionist: I prefer to use the free VMware player it has a lot more features than vbox
[10:43] <KM0201> jetienne: as far as i know.. yes... because once you get tot he sign on screen (don't set auto login) you can choose to default to gnome classic.
[10:43] <jetienne> KM0201: oh ok
[10:43] <maxillusionist> uselabs i personally use vmware workstn LOL
[10:43] <KM0201> usalabs: thats not gonna help his problem, vmware player doesnt support 3D any better than vbox.
[10:43] <jetienne> KM0201: so the rewritten X requires 3D cards....
[10:44] <jetienne> KM0201: anyway to try the new ubuntu without dedicating a computer to it ?
[10:44] <KM0201> jetienne: for now, because the live CD (at least in my experience.. and thus why so many folks are having trouble w/ live cds) doesn't default to a 2D desktop yet, if 3D desktop fails.
[10:44] <maxillusionist> vmware player needs and virtual machine to play
[10:44] <KM0201> jetienne: well, there's virtualbox, if your computer has the juice for it.
[10:44] <usalabs> when I use VMware player, I have played a windows 3D game (need for speed) with no problems
[10:45] <usalabs> VMware player can create a VM, one doesn't need the workstation
[10:45] <KM0201> jetienne: have you tried booting the live CD?
[10:45] <mah454> I need libpoppler7 for naty .
[10:45] <mah454> I need libpoppler7 for naty .
[10:45] <jetienne> KM0201: hmmm maybe miscommunication... you said 'unity' stuff requires 3D card and that vbox doesnt support 3D cards... so how could i use vbox
[10:45] <maxillusionist> yeah now one can do that userlabs
[10:45] <jetienne> KM0201: live cd == dedicating a computer to it in my words
[10:45] <kellnola> vbox supports 3D. Don't know how well
[10:45] <KM0201> jetienne: by doing what i said, using the alternate cd to install in vbox, then booting the 2d desktop
[10:46] <KM0201> jetienne: no, thats not what it means.. live cd, means booting the OS from the cd, and running it from the CD
[10:46] <kellnola> this whole "requiring 3D" was an enormous mistake
[10:46] <jetienne> KM0201: and '2D desktop' = gnome ?
[10:46] <KM0201> jetienne: yes.. 2d-  as of now, = Gnome
[10:46] <jetienne> ah ok
[10:46] <jetienne> so i need a dedicated computer to install it
[10:47] <jetienne> or i can use ubuntu server
[10:47] <KM0201> kellnola: i agree.. i'm thinking when 11.10 rolls around.. it'll have a default 2D fallback again
[10:47] <jetienne> KM0201: ok thanks for the help
[10:47] <KM0201> jetienne: why do you keep saying you need a dedicated computer?.. you don't
[10:47] <maxillusionist> yeah jet why not
[10:47] <skiwithpete> hi, I've removed ubuntu from a computer I want to sell, but grub continues to load
[10:47] <skiwithpete> how do I get rid of grub?
[10:47] <jetienne> KM0201: just wording i guess
[10:47] <maxillusionist> erase the hdd
[10:47] <KM0201> skiwithpete: you need to rebuild the mbr of your machine...
[10:47] <maxillusionist> easy
[10:48] <kellnola> skiwithpete, it's on the MBR
[10:48] <mah454> add-apt-repository ppa:gloobus-dev/covergloobus
[10:48] <kellnola> skiwithpete, any other OS will overwrite that
[10:48] <mah454> excuse me ... !
[10:48] <skiwithpete> how do I rebuild the mbr - its a netbook so I don't have the windows CD
[10:48] <jetienne> KM0201: impossible to run current stable ubuntu on virtual machine [10:48] <KM0201> !dualboot | jetienne you don't need to dedicate a machine to ubuntu
[10:48] <maxillusionist> boot from pendrive and erase the HDD sliwithpete
[10:48] <skiwithpete> PS I don't have the CD, so I want to start using XP which is on the HDD
[10:48] <KM0201> jetienne: no.. its not impossible, you just can't do 3D(out of the box anyway).. .big difference
[10:48] <zvacet> skiwithpete: http://members.iinet.net.au/~herman546/p18.html#MbrFix.exe

[10:48] <mah454> I need libpoppler7 for ubuntu-11.04 ...
[10:48] <usalabs> or, there is a DOS utility that can be run from a pen drive, called MBRtools
[10:49] <skiwithpete> I have a pen drive currently it has Mint on it
[10:49]  * KM0201 loves mbrfix
[10:49] <skiwithpete> is there anything in there that can help me?
[10:49] <ActionParsnip> !ppa | mah454
[10:49] <skiwithpete> mbrfix?  KM0201
[10:49] <KM0201> skiwithpete: no  windows mbr, is a windows mbr problem
[10:49] <skiwithpete> freedos have it?
[10:50] <KM0201> skiwithpete: its a utility to rebuild the MBR of windows, you were given the link above...  http://members.iinet.net.au/~herman546/p18.html#MbrFix.exe
[10:50] <zvacet> skiwithpete: if you still have windows read link I posted to you
[10:50] <KM0201> skiwithpete: i'm not familiar w/  freedos... but fixmbr and fixboot, are standard dos tools, so i would think so.
[10:50] <jetienne> WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages <- they mean "supported by third party"
[10:50] <maxillusionist> skiwithpete pull the HDD from the pc you need to sell then erase all
[10:50] <kellnola> skiwithpete, "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda bs=446 count=1" will delete the MBR (from linux, where "hda" is the drive you want to erase it on - make sure you get the right device)
[10:50] <jetienne> not nice to say other arent mataining their package
[10:50] <ojii> how do I change the language of my login screen?
[10:50] <KM0201> skiwithpete: if you want a pretty GUI app to rebuild your MBR.. google "Easus Partition Editor"... the freeware version has a easy to use MBR rebuilder
[10:51] <ThinkT510> mah454: why do you need libpoppler7? libpoppler13 is available in the repos
[10:52] <jetienne> where is the iso of the alternate install ?
[10:52] <mah454> ThinkT510 tnx :)
[10:52] <skiwithpete> whoa kellnola will that reinstate it as windows?
[10:52] <skiwithpete> KM0201, am going to try your solution first I think
[10:52] <kellnola> skiwithpete, no it will delete the MBR completely
[10:52] <jetienne> http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download <- alternate install got no .iso only .torrent ?
[10:52] <KM0201> jetienne: no, there's links to just the ISO
[10:53] <zvacet> jetienne: http://releases.ubuntu.com/natty/
[10:53] <jetienne> thanks
[10:53] <ThinkT510> !find libpoppler13 | mah454
[10:53] <zvacet> jetienne: np
[10:53] <KM0201> jetienne: just keep in mind, thats a completely text based installer, but since you're putting it in vbox, it won't matter, just take the defaults for everything.
[10:53] <ThinkT510> !info libpoppler13 | mah454
[10:53] <mah454> OK tnx :)
[10:54] <ThinkT510> np
[10:54] <zvacet> KM0201: it is not that hard to install from alternate cd
[10:54] <KM0201> zvacet: its not difficult, but some find it more intimidating.
[10:55] <jetienne> KM0201: my goal is double 1. to install 11.04 to be able to maintain my ppa 2. to experiment rewritten X stuff
[10:55] <zvacet> KM0201:  just not eye  candy that is all
[10:55] <KM0201> jetienne: understood
[10:55] <KM0201> zvacet: i'm very familiar with it... and if you've been here any amount f time, there's moer than one user who did not want to use the live cd... so my point was valid.
[10:55] <KM0201> *alt cd
[10:56] <jetienne> usually i test in vm, it is simple, fast, easily removable if needed
[10:56] <zvacet> KM0201:  I believe that you are familiar with using alternate cd no argue with you about that
[10:57] <KM0201> zvacet: my point is, its not hard(i agree w/ you there)... however, a new user who knwos nothing about linux partitions, setting up their drive, etc.. it's going to be intimidating
[10:57] <jetienne> feedback "unable to test new stable ubuntu without dedicating a box to it"... wasnt a good idea
[10:57] <drdozer> hi - I just finished upgrading to natty and rebooted, and now I have: symbol not found: `grub_env_export´. and am at the grub rescue prompt
[10:58] <KM0201> jetienne: you keep saying "dedicating a box to it"... maybe there's a translation thats not coming across wel.. you don't have to dedicate a box to it.. you can dual boot the machine easily.
[10:58] <jetienne> KM0201: ok suppose you boot on 11.04... can you use the box for somehting else ?
[10:58] <KM0201> jetienne: dedicate implies that ubuntu would be the only OS on the computer... dual booting (between linux and windows, or various linux distros) is very easy
[10:59] <drdozer> what can I type into the grub rescue prompt to resurrect this machine?
[10:59] <zvacet> KM0201: Ithink that new users ask for more eye candy stuff until now alternate was only able to do upgrade
[10:59] <KM0201> !dualboot | jetienne
[10:59] <jetienne> KM0201: when running 11.04, your box is doing only that, so it is dedicated to it
[10:59] <jetienne> KM0201: im well aware of dual boot :)
[10:59] <liunx> hello,
[10:59] <KM0201> jetienne: thats not really what that means... that would be a dedicated install, because the computer is stil capable of booting other OS's..
[10:59] <KM0201> jetienne: dedicated=only
[11:00] <liunx> how to show the tray on unity?
[11:00] <jetienne> KM0201: just a matter of working
[11:00] <KM0201> jetienne: well.. sorry, how you're saying it is not correct.
[11:00] <liunx> i want to use iptux etc, but when i close it, i can not see the tray on the up right frame.
[11:00] <jetienne> KM0201: 'when running 11.04, your box is doing only that, so it is dedicated to it' <- seems correct no ?
[11:01] <KM0201> jetienne: just as an example... if you were coming here asking for install help.. and you told thenm you were dedicating a machine to ubuntu.. you'd get instructions to completely wipe the drive and install only Ubuntu"... if you wanted to dual boot, you would lose windows.
[11:01] <drdozer> how can I get my machine working again?
[11:01] <ThinkT510> jetienne: not quite, you can install vms inside 11.04
[11:01] <jetienne> ThinkT510: hehe :)
[11:01] <KM0201> zvacet: the alt cd has been an installer for a long time.
[11:01] <KM0201> or did i misunderstand?
[11:01] <jetienne> KM0201: i understand your definition of dedicated.
[11:01] <jetienne> KM0201: relax this is just a matter of wording
[11:02] <KM0201> jetienne: its not my definition of dedicated.. its the english language definition of dedicated.. there's a huge difference in what you're saying, and the word dedicated... i just didn't want them confused.
[11:02] <jetienne> KM0201: 'when running 11.04, your box is doing only that, so it is dedicated to it' <- seems correct no ?
[11:02] <KM0201> jetienne: no, that is not correct
[11:02] <jetienne> KM0201: ok no arguement
[11:02] <ThinkT510> jetienne: stop trolling
[11:02] <jetienne> i gave my feedback
[11:02] <KM0201> that would be a dedicated install (that does not require windows to run)... as i said....
[11:02] <jetienne> ThinkT510: stop insulting
[11:03] <jetienne> ThinkT510: seriously, im being kind and all
[11:03] <jetienne> ThinkT510: so dont insulte me
[11:03] <KM0201> jetienne: a dedicated machine... is a machine(ie, entire computer) that is dedicated to ubuntu.
[11:03] <KM0201> i don't know how much more clear i can make it
[11:03] <jetienne> KM0201: relax i understood. you just considere the drive of the box
[11:03] <jetienne> KM0201: im considering the cpu this is nothing
[11:04] <ThinkT510> jetienne: i didn't mean to insult you, i apologise; but you are misusing the term dedicated
[11:04] <manu_44> Hello, could someone let me know where I can manage the FTP default handler on Natt Narwhal please ?
[11:04] <KM0201> jetienne: no i don't... i think there's a communicatino barrier here.. maybe you don't grasp what the word "dedicated" means
[11:04] <jetienne> KM0201: hehe ok
[11:04] <jetienne> ThinkT510: forgotten
[11:04] <jetienne> KM0201: no need to argue
[11:04] <dts> I keep getting my unity bar on the left frozen open, this sucks because a maximized window is covered by it on the left side. Any ideas how to reset unity and how to keep it from happening?
[11:05] <KM0201> jetienne: not arguing.. just telling you.. you're the one who has continued to push it.
[11:05] <KM0201> dn't need to argue when you're right..lol

[11:05] <manu_44> is there a special channel concerning Natty Narwhal issues ?
[11:05] <ActionParsnip> manu_44: here
[11:05] <jetienne> KM0201: cool, so we disgaree :)

[11:06] <jetienne> KM0201: we are both confortable
[11:06] <manu_44> Firefox has been set as default FTP handler
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> jetienne: alternate iso just instals the desktop OS in a text environment rather than gui
[11:06] <manu_44> I just would likee Nautilus instead
[11:06] <manu_44> anyone able to help me ?
[11:06] <KM0201> manu_44: you mean the old gnome? (like in 10.10?)

[11:07] <mikebeecham> hi guys...is it possible to change the GDM in 11.04?
[11:07] <rzx237> why network-manager indicator on natty can't display multiple configuration of my wireless connection? is it a bug?
[11:07] <jetienne> ActionParsnip: yep,  i need it to install on virtual box apparently. some issue with ubuntu requiring 3D cards and virtual box not providing it
[11:07] <mikebeecham> never really liked the purple/orange stock one
[11:07] <sachin> i need help in installing gnome 3 in ubuntu 11.04
[11:07] <dts> ActionParsnip I like that it dodges windows, that setting is actually good, but it stops working after a while
[11:08] <manu_44> KM0201 : I did that already
[11:08] <KM0201> ActionParsnip: i don't think he actually wants nautilus (as unity uses nautilus)... i think he wants gnome 2.2
[11:08] <misse-> mikebeecham: do you just want to change the wallpaper for gdm or the whole theme?
[11:08] <KM0201> manu_44: and..?
[11:08] <ActionParsnip> jetienne: it can be enabled, its not going to be amazing 3D performance
[11:08] <skiwithpete> KM0201, areyou there?
[11:08] <mikebeecham> misse-, didnt know I could do either :D  How?
[11:08] <KM0201> skiwithpete: yes..
[11:08] <jetienne> ActionParsnip: oh ? you tried ? or got successfull story on it ?
[11:08] <ThinkT510> !gnome3 | sachin
[11:08] <manu_44> ActionParsnip : browsed this page already, without success, the ftp key doesn't appear and when i manually add it, it doesn't even work
[11:08] <sachin> hi

[11:08] <g4> is there an issue with 3d support in compiz for 11.04? I upgraded to 11.04 but it broke my old desktop.
[11:09] <geektech713> Need up getting Ubuntu 11.10 to install on atom CPU
[11:09] <skiwithpete> I've looked at the instructions... one thing concerns me - on the netbook partition 1 is actually a recovery disk
[11:09] <ActionParsnip> g4: what video chip do you use?
[11:09] <manu_44> KM0201 : and Firefox is the default FTP handler
[11:09] <skiwithpete> I want it to boot to partition 2 - XP
[11:09] <manu_44> can't manage to get Nautilus back instead
[11:09] <liunx>  hello,
[11:09] <sachin> i know but f they have provided the ppa,then there must be solution to run it.properly ,i guess
[11:09] <g4> ActionParsn: ati with ati catalyst driver
[11:09] <KM0201> skiwithpete: ok...
[11:09] <skiwithpete> is there a command to do that?
[11:09] <sachin> @linux-hi
[11:09] <liunx> how can i show the tray in the titile bar when i use iptux etc.?
[11:09] <ActionParsnip> g4: uninstall the catalyst, then reboot, then reinstall it. Proprietary drivers don't usually work after release changes
[11:10] <g4> ActionParsn: ok, thanks for the top
[11:10] <KM0201> skiwithpete: answer your PM.. i don't really follow what you're saying
[11:10] <ActionParsnip> manu_44: so the solution by lamelos doesn't solve it?
[11:11] <sachin> @ubottu-i know it,but why they provided it if it will break it.
[11:11] <ezrafree> hello
[11:11] <ActionParsnip> sachin: if you drop the @ character, it will highlight users correctly. Adding it makes it not work
[11:12] <amalgama> hello... i want to download a program, they give a ppa, which i add, but it says that it cant find a package with that name (after an update of course)... any ideas of what i might be doing wrong?

[11:12] <manu_44> ActionParsnip : no it does not
[11:12] <sachin> ubottu-i know it,but why they provided it if it will break it.
 please describe the problem more
 maybe i can help you
[11:13] <misse-> mikebeecham: you can either do it with some gconfhacking, but I think this is the easist way: gksudo -u gdm gnome-appearance-properties
[11:13] <sachin> thinkt510-i know it,but why they provided it if it will break it.
[11:13] <sachin> ppa
[11:13] <g4> ActionParsn, you wouldn't know easiest way to uninstall catalyst? Is it thru apt or do I need to run a script?

[11:15] <ThinkT510> sachin: you can install it, but its not guaranteed to work and you won't be able to get support if you do install it, as for why they provided a ppa it must have been requested by a few people, but is experimental (use at your own risk)
[11:15] <mikebeecham> misse-, will do
[11:15] <rzx237> manu_44: try ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list

[11:18] <geektech713> any help with USB Ubuntu live CD /install?
[11:18] <misse-> drdozer: hmkay. either you burn a cd or you create an usb startup disk. Either way, you'll have to boot from some other medium to repare grub
[11:18] <amalgama> vibhav: i did.. also cache search ... nothing... and it seems wrong since i cannot find some1 having a similar problem with the ppa of foobnix
[11:18] <dasfefg> ThinkT510: i installed gnome 3

[11:19] <ThinkT510> dasfefg: congratulations
[11:19] <drdozer> misse-:  ok - it isn something I can fix by typing into the grub prompt?
[11:19] <misse-> mikebeecham: here's a solution for you: irssi
[11:19] <misse-> drdozer: depends on the grub error
[11:19] <amalgama> vibhav: after adding the ppa it returns http://pastebin.com/BjiTSYEQ
[11:19] <drdozer> error: symbol not found: `grub_env_export´.
[11:20] <drdozer> grub rescue>
[11:20] <KM0201> phoenixsampras: unfortunately, thats a danger of any upgrade, not just Linux.. there's plenty of documentation on bricked Windows installs from upgrade fails also.
[11:20] <drdozer> misse-: that´s all it says
[11:20] <misse-> drdozer: uhm. I wouldn't know what to type in the situation
[11:20] <mikebeecham> misse-, irssi?

[11:24] <juniorsa> anyone else have problems with an amd laptop when screensaver comes on sometimes it freezes, fan stays on?

[11:25] <misse-> XBMC :'||||
[11:25] <misse-> and android

[11:28] <agronholm> it doesn't always show when I move my mouse cursor to the left side of the screen
[11:28] <agronholm> so I would prefer it to be visible at all times
[11:28] <ThinkT510> drdozer: ok, type ls (hd1,msdos1)/
[11:28] <agronholm> I just can't find any setting to make that happen
[11:28] <ThinkT510> drdozer: what do you see?
[11:29] <drdozer> ThinkT510: error: unknown filesystem.
[11:29] <drdozer> ThinkT510: it seems to print that for all others
[11:30] <ThinkT510> drdozer: really? you tried them all?
[11:30] <boot> i install the latest version of ubuntu  but when i try to browse site i am getting Java Script Disabled on your browser. Please Enable it.
[11:30] <agronholm> ah, it was in compiz-settings.
[11:30] <boot> i check the firefox java is enabled in it
[11:30] <agronholm> boot: java has nothing to do with javascript
[11:31] <drdozer> ThinkT510: oh - it prints stuff out for: ls (hd0,msdos1)/
[11:31] <boot> how to solve this problem
[11:31] <boot> ?
[11:31] <rzx237> agronholm: I think I found it, gconf-editor to /apps/compiz-1/plugins/unityshell/screen0/option/autohide_animation, set launcher_hide_mode to "0"
[11:31] <boot> ?
[11:31] <ThinkT510> drdozer: what does it print out?
[11:31] <agronholm> rzx237: yeah it can be configured graphically too

[11:32] <agronholm> from what I've heard of it, gnome 3 is a train wreck
[11:32] <boot> i even install java
[11:32] <boot> but the problem is till the same
[11:32] <agronholm> boot: are you not hearing/reading me

[11:32] <slide> Im having problems with xchat + unity bar, it keeps launching new copies instead of bringing the existing one to the front
[11:32] <boot> i don't have the problem with he older version of ubuntu
[11:32] <agronholm> boot: I already said java has nothing to do with javascript, so how do you figure installing Java would help with Javascript issues?
[11:32] <ThinkT510> drdozer: excellent, bear with me we'll type some commands..
[11:32] <boot> so what to do
[11:32] <boot> ?
[11:33] <Error404NotFound> how do i restore burg to be bootloader after grub overwrites it due to an update?
[11:33] <agronholm> boot: enable javascript in settings
[11:33] <agronholm> boot: in the content tab
[11:33] <boot> it all ready enabled in firefox
[11:33] <jibadeeha> slide, strange mine doesn't do that
[11:33] <agronholm> boot: then the website is probably doing something wrong -- what site is this?
[11:33] <ThinkT510> drdozer: first type: set prefix=(hd0,1)/boot/grub

[11:34] <boot> use any id and passwordsto login
[11:34] <drdozer> ThinkT510: done - nothing displayed
[11:34] <ThinkT510> drdozer: then type: set root=(hd0,1)
[11:34] <boot> u will get the error Java Script Disabled on your browser. Please Enable it.
[11:34] <agronholm> boot: yeah the website seems broken
[11:34] <agronholm> not much you can do about it
[11:34] <drdozer> ThinkT510: done
[11:35] <madsailor> popo: gimp
[11:35] <boot> but the site is working good in windows
[11:35] <madsailor> it's great
[11:35] <agronholm> boot: in firefox?
[11:35] <ThinkT510> drdozer: yeah, it shouldn't display anything yet, next type: insmod linux
[11:35] <popo> is there a good site for ubuntu compatible software?
[11:35] <boot> one more think i check the addons in firefox ubuntu there is no java there
[11:35] <drdozer> ThinkT510: error: symbol not found: `grub_mm_base´.
[11:35] <boot> but in windows firefox java is there in addons
[11:35] <agronholm> boot: for the last time, this has nothing to do with Java

[11:36] <geektech713> I need help with USB disk install of Ubuntu
[11:36] <boot> as opera chrome both are giving the same problem
[11:36] <madsailor> popo, you can find apps that do most things you's need in the software center under applications==>Ubuntu software center.  Many windows specific apps can be run under wine
[11:36] <popo> do i need to mount ausb  drive in ubuntu?
[11:36] <ThinkT510> drdozer: ah.. i don't know how to fix that, looks like grub needs to be reinstalled
[11:37] <geektech713> I did run the USB drive after restart
[11:37] <drdozer> ThinkT510: ok, and it can´t be reinstalled from within grub?
[11:37] <geektech713> did load up some but missing some files
[11:37] <agronholm> boot: the website has an error -- it's looking for the "txtPassword" element when it should be looking for "txtpassword"
[11:37] <ThinkT510> drdozer: not from a rescue prompt, as far as i know
[11:37] <naike> I have trouble finishing installing my ubuntu 11.04 I get this error at the end: Unable to install GRUBB in dev-sda (i created main partition and swap, I also have windows and other partitions on the hdd, totaling 5 partitions)
[11:37] <agronholm> boot: a simple programming error
[11:37] <geektech713> saying Casper/filesystem didnt mount
[11:37] <agronholm> not the fault of your browser
[11:37] <boot> but in windows the site is working perfectly ok
[11:38] <agronholm> boot: in firefox?
[11:38] <boot> yes
[11:38] <boot> in windows firefox,chrome,opera site is working perfectly but in ubuntu it is not working
[11:38] <drdozer> ThinkT510: thanks for trying to help - I guess I now have a 4 hour wait for the iso to download
[11:39] <jheyes> hi, should i upgrade my ubuntu distribution to natty 11.04? any issues i should worry about before upgrading?
[11:39] <slide> Is anyone else having problems with xchat + unity bar? XChat doesnt even show up at all
[11:39] <naike> yes jheyes what motherboard do you have
[11:39] <agronholm> boot: I just tried in Firefox 4.0.1 on Windows, it does not work
[11:39] <agronholm> boot: I get the same error
[11:39] <jheyes> naike: how do i find out?
 I recommend a fresh install
[11:39] <jheyes> vibhav: why a fresh install? does the upgrade not work very well?
[11:39] <naike> jheyes if you dont know chances are you dont have the same motherboard i have :P
[11:39] <KM0201> jheyes: upgrading always poses risks.
[11:40] <boot> it is working 4.0.1 in windows
[11:40] <jheyes> KM0201: do you recommend i stick with what i am running right now?
[11:40] <agronholm> boot: not for me
[11:40] <agronholm> boot: I don't get the error on IE8 though
[11:40] <ThinkT510> drdozer: no worries, i got stuck at a rescue prompt too, so i found the ubuntu wiki helpful, thats where i was getting the info to help you from
 It did not work well with me
[11:40] <KM0201> jheyes: no, i just recommend you always be prepared BEFORE upgrading.. so if something happens... you won't cry for days over lost data when you have to reinstall
 A fresh install is better
[11:40] <drMike> how can I restore all databases into mysql from one that was backed up via: mysqldump -A --add-drop-table -u root | gzip > $OUTFILE
[11:40] <jheyes> KM0201: you mean do a backup first?
[11:40] <boot> u need java version Version 6 Update 25
 yes
[11:41] <boot> then it will work in windows
[11:41] <KM0201> jheyes: i mean if you have important data on the machine, yes, back it up befor eupgrading
[11:41]  * KM0201 thought that was computer 101
 A fresh install has less chances of failure
[11:41] <jheyes> vibhav: okay i will back it up first
[11:41] <jheyes> thanks for the warning everyone!
[11:41] <KM0201> jheyes: but i do agree vibhav i always clean install.. i've not "upgraded" linux in 10yrs
[11:41] <ActionParsnip> KM0201: you'd be suprised how many have "important" data but zero backup
[11:42] <jheyes> KM0201: it is tempting to click that upgrade button though :)
[11:42] <KM0201> ActionParsnip: lol. it's obviously very "important"..lol
[11:42] <ActionParsnip> KM0201: exactly..people love learning the hard way
[11:42] <Browser> Hi
 A fresh install always gives you that "new computer feeling"
[11:42] <KM0201> jheyes: well, gotta use common sense.. remember, all computer problems start w/ the bozo pounding on the keys... :0
[11:42] <jheyes> KM0201: what are you running?
[11:43] <dasfefg> hi
[11:43] <KM0201> jheyes: lubuntu right now... i might switch back to debian, but i'm kinda digging lubuntu righ tnow
[11:43] <jheyes> KM0201: cool
[11:43] <agronholm> boot: fails here on firefox 4.0.1 with java 6 update 25
[11:43] <jheyes> KM0201: i'm on kubuntu 64-bit...
[11:44] <jheyes> KM0201: everything is working nicely so i don't want to ruin my setup by upgrading to 11.04
[11:44] <boot> but on my side in windows site is working perfectly but in ubuntu not
[11:44] <KM0201> jheyes: well, it really doesn't amtter what you're upgrading, if its linux or windows, or DOS.. you shoudl always backup prior to doing it
[11:44] <agronholm> boot: I cannot fix the site for you -- try any other site and you will see that javascript is enabled and working fine
[11:45] <KM0201> boot: can you providce a link?
[11:45] <agronholm> KM0201: http://edudel.nic.in/mis/MisAdmin/frmMisLogin.aspx
[11:45] <boot> yes
[11:45] <KM0201> boot: well, i get a User ID/Password screen.. but that does little good to check the problem
[11:45] <ActionParsnip> agronholm: loads here in Windows + Chrome
[11:46] <agronholm> KM0201: try any combination
[11:46] <boot> in internet explorer 8 the site is alo working perfectly ok
[11:46] <ActionParsnip> agronholm: Java Script Disabled on your browser. Please Enable it.
[11:46] <agronholm> ActionParsnip: so it doesn't work on chrome after all?
[11:46] <KM0201> agronholm: yup, thats what i got
[11:46] <champ__> Hello everybody. I am running ubuntu 10.10 with restricted exras installed. my problem is i am unable play videos apple.com,etc
[11:46] <boot> can u also check the site in internet explorer
[11:46] <ActionParsnip> agronholm: is that what you get? I'm on Chrome here
[11:46] <boot> ?
[11:46] <mun> hi
[11:46] <agronholm> ActionParsnip: yup, javascript disabled please enable
[11:47] <agronholm> on any browser other than IE
[11:47] <Jasonn> champ__: Do you have flash player installed?
[11:47] <ActionParsnip> champ__: add the medibuntu ppa and install w32codecs (I assume 32bit OS)
[11:47] <mun> if i've changed my ubuntu one password, how do i change it on my desktop? i can't seem to find a way to logout in the preferences.
[11:47] <champ__> Jasonn:yes
[11:47] <KM0201> you really shouldn't need medibuntu anymore, but it works just as well..
[11:47] <Jasonn> champ__: Is it enabled??
[11:47] <boot> i check again only in internet explorer site is working
[11:48] <KM0201> boot: hold on
[11:48] <agronholm> boot: that's what I thought too
 yes
[11:48] <boot> i don't know what the problem
[11:48] <agronholm> boot: I already explained what the problem is
[11:48] <agronholm> did you miss that line?
[11:48] <Jasonn> champ__: And you are sure you dont have more than one flahs "player" installed?
[11:48] <boot> so whyt site is working in internet explorer
[11:48] <boot> internet explorer 8?
[11:48] <ActionParsnip> agronholm: check with: http://www.isjavascriptenabled.com/
[11:48] <champ__> Jasonn: how do i check it ?..
[11:48] <agronholm> ActionParsnip: not my problem...I'm helping boot out here
[11:48] <KM0201> boot: hold on a second.. jeez.. learn a little patience
[11:49] <Jasonn> champ__: go on the browser and type this in in the addr bar: about:plugins
[11:49] <agronholm> boot: because internet explorer works case insensitively with document.getElementById()
[11:49] <boot> ok
[11:49] <agronholm> the others do not
[11:49] <boot> so the main is with site
[11:50] <agronholm> main what?
[11:50] <champ__> Jasonn: it shows a list..
[11:50] <Jasonn> champ__: Yeah, look for flash player, and make sure it is enabled
[11:50] <boot> so the problem is with the site
[11:50] <agronholm> boot: yes, like I told you already.
[11:50] <agronholm> I don't understand why people use Internet Explorer so much in India
[11:51] <agronholm> and China too
[11:51] <Jasonn> agronholm: Because there is a lot of people xD
[11:51] <jatt> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Internet-explorer-usage-data.svg
[11:51] <agronholm> Jasonn: that has what to do with browser market share?
[11:51] <boot> i am using firefox for more than 3years
[11:52] <champ__> Jasonn: could u be more specific ?
[11:52] <boot> but if the creator don't create the website supporting it
[11:52] <KM0201> boot: has it worked previously with linux?
[11:52] <agronholm> boot: yes but clearly that site was only tested with IE
[11:52] <boot> what can a normal user do
[11:52] <agronholm> boot: nothing really
[11:52] <Jasonn> agronholm: Yes, because many people dont bother installing another one
[11:52] <literally_barry> Hey all, just got a quick question about the Ubuntu 11.04 installation process?
[11:52] <boot> i am using firefox for more than 3 years
[11:52] <agronholm> yeah we heard you the first time
[11:53] <literally_barry> I've booted into the Live CD, and run the "Install Ubuntu" icon on the desktop.
[11:53] <Jasonn> !enter literally_barry
[11:53] <Jasonn> !enter | literally_barry
[11:54] <literally_barry> It gets to the page where it says "Preparing Ubuntu installation" page, I click next, and nothing happens. grub-mount maxes the CPU (see here: http://i.imgur.com/CmLxd.png) and I've been sitting here about 15 minutes waiting for some progress. Any suggestions?
[11:54] <vibhav> !flood
[11:54] <sec_goat> I am currently using Lubuntu 10.10 if I click upgrade to Ubuntu 11.04 does that change what ever makes Lubuntu more light weight?
[11:55] <Jasonn> sec_goat: This is the Ubuntu channel, we dont support Lubuntu
[11:55] <KM0201> sec_goat: no, it upgrades you to lubuntu 11.04
[11:55] <ActionParsnip> literally_barry: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[11:55] <sec_goat> Jasonn: my bad, I did realize there was a difference
[11:55] <boot> and how to enable root
[11:55] <boot> ?
[11:56] <Lopyshok> people hi how i can open TCP and UDP port 6112 for play dota ;)
[11:56] <Jasonn> sec_goat: Nah, its alright mate, its just made by a different comany
[11:56] <literally_barry> Yeah, I've checked, the torrent also did re-checking, and it matched.
[11:56] <literally_barry> boot: you only need to set a password for root to enable it (iirc) like this: sudo passwd root
[11:56] <ActionParsnip> literally_barry: ok and are you using CD or USB to install?
[11:56] <KM0201> boot: ubuntu doesn't use root
[11:56] <KM0201> !sudo | boot
[11:56] <sec_goat> jasonn: i guess thats where I am confused, I really can't tell the difference, except it works better on this POS laptop
[11:56] <ActionParsnip> !noroot | literally_barry
[11:56] <literally_barry> ActionParsnip: I am using a CD.
[11:56] <boot> ok
[11:56] <Lopyshok> people hi how i can open TCP and UDP port 6112 for play dota ;)
[11:56] <KM0201> boot: is this your first venture into linux?
[11:57] <boot> and can i browse my windows partition from ubuntu
[11:57] <boot> yes KM0201
[11:57] <KM0201> boot: most of the time, yes.
[11:57] <EClaesson> In 10.10 which i ran until about now, dropbox showed an icon in the top right of my screen which showed its status and had a drop down menu. Now in Narval, i don't know how to get it there. In 10.10 the icon automatically appeared when i started dropbox.
[11:57] <ActionParsnip> literally_barry: DON'T tell people how to mess up their systems with root passwords and such in future
[11:57] <Jasonn> Lopyshok: On your Ubuntu machine
[11:57] <Jasonn> ?
[11:57] <literally_barry> ActionParsnip: Sorry, I wasn't fully aware of the rules here.
[11:57] <ActionParsnip> literally_barry: did you burn the CD as slowly as you were allowed?
[11:57] <ActionParsnip> literally_barry: did you make the CD chec itself for defects once the boot starts?
[11:57] <boot> and how to install ati 5770 drivers
[11:58] <literally_barry> ActionParsnip: I did not. I'm going to let this idle, return to another system and do that. Cheers for the help. I'll be back if I don't have any success. =P
[11:58] <ActionParsnip> literally_barry: did you test your RAM?
[11:58] <literally_barry> ActionParsnip: RAM is tested, it's ECC. This system is only about a month old.
[11:58] <KM0201> boot: ati can be tricky
[11:58] <boot> as i dowloaded the latest drivers of ati 5770
[11:58] <pagz> whois pagz
[11:58] <boot> but it is not installing
[11:58] <literally_barry> I'm going to re-burn slower. Thanks for the advice ActionParsnip.
[11:58] <ezrafree> how should i upgrade to the latest ubuntu?
[11:58] <dupondje> rsnapshot       ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
[11:58] <KM0201> !upgrade | ezrafree
[11:58] <ezrafree> thank you
[11:59] <ActionParsnip> ezrafree: you can only upgrade from Maverick, otherwise you will need to upgrade to the intermittent releases to get there
[11:59] <dupondje> rsnapshot       ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL => If I have this in sudoers, rsnapshot should be able to run sudo command without giving the password right ?
[11:59] <boot> but when i enable the restricted drivers ati 5770 it is working and enabled
[11:59] <g4> after doing an upgrade, emerald doesn't seem to work and I'm missing window decoration. Any advice on how to add window decoration again?
[11:59] <boot> is this driver is as good as the driver available on ati site?
[12:00] <tbf> is it somehow possible to directly view the patches ubuntu applies to some package? e.g. there: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/+source/qt4-x11/
[12:00] <KM0201> boot: the drive in additional drivers, should work fine i would think (at least it does w/ nvidia)
[12:00] <ThinkT510> boot: its recommended you stick to what ubuntu provides
[12:00] <boot> ok
[12:00] <AFD> Anyone mind helping me with a repo problem I have?
[12:01] <celthunder> boot: open source drivers for ati are better than catalsyt for 9/10 things
[12:01] <AFD> I get 404 errors for what appear to be legit repos when performing an apt-get update
[12:01] <boot> ok
[12:02] <slide> Is there a channel for Unity?
[12:02] <g4> it seems to be that compiz has lost all the setting. Is it possible to revert compiz to default settins?
[12:02] <ThinkT510> !unity | slide
[12:02] <celthunder> b 21

[12:05] <uwex> madradavid: its "/help"
[12:05] <Anax192> Hello, people. I'm really sorry for just barging in here and writing like this. I'm kinda short with time and need a little help. Is there anyone available? Again, sorry for no introduction or anything. Oh, and if I have broken any rule by writing like this, sorry about that, too.
[12:06] <celthunder> Anax192: whats the prolem
[12:06] <celthunder> problem
[12:06] <ActionParsnip> Anax192: instead of writing all that you could have just asked...
[12:06] <madradavid> thanks umex
[12:06] <red2kic> When you assign a new launcher on gnome-panel, where is the file stored? I know it's in ~/ -- but I can't remember/find it.
[12:07] <tasslehoff> is ~/.Xmodmap used by Ubuntu?
[12:07] <Anax192> Well, my dad started updating his Ubuntu 8.10, and he interrupted the update while it was upgrading components, I think. I'm not sure. Now he can't boot up. It just stops at the Ubuntu flash screen with four orange dots underneath it.
[12:07] <madradavid> JOIN #ubuntu
[12:07] <ActionParsnip> Anax192: boot to root recovery and run: apt-get -f install
[12:07] <red2kic> madradavid: Welcome to #ubuntu!
[12:08] <AFD> help apt-get
[12:08] <uwex> madradavid: every command starts with "/"
[12:08] <ezrafree> can Compiz be used in 11.04 with GNOME?
[12:08] <Anax192> I'm sorry, can you just explain what root recovery is? Do I choose that from that list that appears every time I start up my computer?
[12:08] <madradavid> USERLIST
[12:08] <knightstalker> Hello,I've tried to install gnome shell on 11.04(Yeah,I know that was experimental),and now when I try to login the monitor will go black for a second and then I am back to login page(Well,I tried removing gnome-shell),I could however,use recovery mode to startx into root's KDE
[12:08] <madradavid> userlist
[12:08] <knightstalker> however,the same method doesn't work for my regular user and KDE will not load
[12:08] <AFD> can anyone help with my repo 404 errors please
[12:08] <tatzenblogde> Anax192, the Recovery Mode is a special mode to boot ubuntu in a special mode where you have a root-shell
[12:08] <celthunder> Anax192: boot to init 1 (add a 1 to the end of the kernel line in grub)
[12:08] <rafi_> Hi friends
[12:09] <ActionParsnip> Anax192: reboot and press ESC when grub starts to load, then select recovery mode, then select root
[12:09] <Kingsy101> I am assuming my ubuntu pc is using dhcp.. however in /etc/network/interfaces there is only two lines --> auto lo      iface lo inet loopback        shouldnt there be another two lines regarding eth0 and dhcp ?
[12:09] <ojii> is there a way to change the shortcuts in the launcher? I won't ever need "view photos", so I'd like to replace it with something that is useful to me
[12:09] <Kingsy101> i.e am I looking in the wrong file ?
[12:09] <itguru> Can anyone recommend a good offline blog editor to use in? I'm trying to go Ubuntu exclusively for my social media needs :)
[12:09] <Anax192> Ok, thanks a lot people! I'll try! :)
[12:09] <rafi_> I have a problem with nvidia proprietary drivers with ubuntu 11.04
[12:09] <ActionParsnip> Kingsy101: not if you want network manager to manage the interface
[12:10] <rafi_> All of the functions keys work(fn)
[12:10] <champ__> cannot play apple .com videos
[12:10] <ActionParsnip> champ__: did you get the plugins installed ok?
[12:10] <Kingsy101> ActionParsnip - so what would you advise is the easiest way to get it on a static ip ?
[12:10] <celthunder> rafi_: that's a problem?
[12:10] <champ__> ActionParsnip:which ?
[12:10] <Giles> what package contains unity_support_test?
[12:10] <feAR`> the thing is that, after i created raid device on /boot, it now says raid device
[12:10] <ActionParsnip> Kingsy101: you can set it in network manager if you want, if it will forever be on static IP then you can use the interfaces file
[12:11] <rafi_> but brigthness fn key doesn't work
[12:11] <ActionParsnip> champ__: the ones from the medibuntu repo, like I told you earlier
[12:11] <Kingsy101> ActionParsnip - ok I will try..
[12:11] <champ__> ActionParsnip:wait checking .....
[12:11] <rafi_> Could you please help me?
[12:12] <ActionParsnip> Kingsy101: it will make the OS boot faster (not have to start network manager) and the OS run lighter (no network manager service running)
[12:12] <Giles> Does anyone know  what package contains unity_support_test?
[12:12] <elisa87> how can I run matlab2011 in ubuntu?
[12:12] <ActionParsnip> Giles: run:  dpkg -S unity_support_test
[12:12] <champ__> ActionParsnip:si it safe ?
[12:13] <champ__> ActionParsnip:is it safe ?
[12:13] <ezrafree> can anyone tell me if Compiz be used in 11.04 with GNOME?
[12:13] <rafi_> celthunder: Could you please help me?

[12:16] <Kingsy101> ActionParsnip - what is the difference between network and gateway ? when I am specifying them in the interfaces file ?
[12:16] <Kingsy101> I cant see reference to either in a ifconfig
[12:16] <bullgard4> How does MetaCity change if I assert in gconf-editor: apps->metacity->general->compositing_manager? (I did read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compositing)
