I created an image using Clonezilla.  And then when I went to reboot Ubuntu it loops at the login page.. I enter my password, i see black screen with text for 2 seconds and it loops back to login page!  What can I do?  All options in Safe Mode didnt help
[00:03] <ActionParsnip> gasti: reboot to test
[00:03] <lisa_> any fix for a looping login page?
[00:03] <gasti> ActionParsnip: Ok , be right back.
[00:03] <mkultra_> you might want to run sudo apt-get install gdm if you have lightdm and default to gdm
[00:04] <lisa_> mkultra_: you are confusing me
[00:04] <lisa_> mkultra_: i installed Ubuntu 11.10 yesterday.  How I fix it?
[00:04] <abhatnag> hey guys, almost every other time I start my oneiric, I get a "wireless device not ready". I then have to restart to try my luck again. Is there a fix for this issue?
[00:04] <mkultra_> your login page is either gdm ldm xdm or kdm...  if ldm fails, try gdm
[00:04] <Scunizi> How do I run a .pyw file/program ?? I've changed the permissions and set the execute bit. Double clicking in the directory doesn't do it
[00:04] <wylde> mkultra_: ldm != lightdm
[00:04] <lisa_> mkultra_: its a fresh 11.10 install. do you know what command I should be typing?
[00:04] <mkultra_> yeah sudo apt-get install gdm
[00:05] <lisa_> wylde: any ideas?
[00:05] <mkultra_> that will turn LDM off and GDM on
[00:05] <mkultra_> im on 12.04 but its very similar to 11.10 and i run GDM
[00:05] <exutux> lisa_: where did you save clonezilla image? on your home?
[00:05] <lisa_> mkultra_: so whats the command?
[00:05] <mkultra_> "sudo apt-get install gdm"
[00:05] <wylde> lisa_: are you able to login to your account if you use ctrl+alt+f1 and enter login credentials?
[00:05] <lisa_> exutux: onto my external hard drive.
[00:06] <abhatnag> Scunizi: try going 'python filename.pyw'
[00:06] <ActionParsnip> Scunizi: what does the file command say it is?
[00:06] <lisa_> wylde: no, it loops back to login page
[00:06] <Lirth> In ubuntu, using the preinstalled LibreOffice, how do I change the default language? It's on English (UK) and I need it for English (USA).
[00:06] <exutux> lisa_: uhm are you sure? try ctrl+alt+f1 login and type df -h look for device space
[00:06] <wylde> lisa_: from terminal?
[00:06] <Scunizi> ActionParsnip: it's a program my son made
[00:06] <gasti> ActionParsnip: Same. Delay in videos when stopping/resuming, and heavy noise at mic recording.
[00:06] <ActionParsnip> Scunizi: fine, but what does file say the file type is
[00:06] <lisa_> exutux: 100%, its saved the image to external hard drive
[00:06] <snail_> Hi. I have a nub queston, sorry for this, but google can't help me. What is first number in "Version" string in "aptitude show package_name" output? For example "Version: 2:3.5.4~dfsg-1ubuntu8.5" what is 2?
[00:06] <ActionParsnip> gasti: ok, remove the option and rerun the update-grub
[00:06] <Scunizi> ActionParsnip: python 3.2 file
[00:07] <exutux> lisa_: well try
[00:07] <wylde> lisa_: ctrl+alt+f1 will take you to a bare terminal, are you able to login from there
[00:07] <gasti> ActionParsnip: what option?
[00:07] <lisa_> but why would doing an image using Clonzilla cause my ubuntu login screen to loop?
[00:07] <lisa_> wylde: let me try that, brb
[00:07] <wylde> lisa_: no idea, but are you able to login from tty1
[00:07] <wylde> ok
[00:07] <lisa_> whats tt1?
[00:07] <exutux> lisa_:  try ctrl+alt+f1 login and type df -h look for device space
[00:08] <mkultra_> clearly it altered something important
[00:08] <mkultra_> and it needs repaired
[00:08] <lisa_> mkultra_: how do I repeair it?
[00:08] <mkultra_> hows that alt + ctl + f2 gdm coming along
[00:08] <mkultra_> alt + ctrl + f2
[00:08] <mkultra_> sudo apt-get install gdm
[00:08] <mkultra_> = repair
[00:08] <lisa_> i followed this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7ywkc4LU10
[00:09] <mkultra_> or ldm re-install
[00:09] <wylde> lisa_: it's just like a big terminal with no gui. Let us know if you can login that way.
[00:09] <mkultra_> but id purge it first and then reinstall it
[00:09] <exutux> well good luck lisa_
[00:09] <lisa_> Clonezilla worked well, created an image onto my external hdd.  but now Ubuntu loops at login page
[00:09] <wylde> mkultra_: lightdm is not the same thing as ldm
[00:09] <mkultra_> ok so then theres lightdm and ldm then
[00:09] <lisa_> but how can creating an image mess with the source?
[00:09] <mkultra_> but still GDM would log her in and link up properly upon install
[00:09] <lisa_> the only thing it may be is using 0 at spliting image?
[00:10] <lisa_> so what commands do i try again? please repost
[00:10] <wylde> lisa_: worrying about how right now isn't helping fix anything. PLease try using ctrl+alt+f1 and let us know if you can login there.
[00:10] <Scunizi> ActionParsnip: I needed python 3.2 and -tk amoung other stuff to get it to run.. thanks
[00:10] <sheenzz> my browser isn't opening, why?
[00:10] <lisa_> wylde: ok beb
[00:10] <lisa_> brb
[00:10] <keith_linux123> hi all
[00:11] <keith_linux123> can I run a server on top of desktop linux ?
[00:11] <mkultra_> hi
[00:11] <mkultra_> yes
[00:11] <mkultra_> i run apache and talk to you from my apache server
[00:11] <CFHowlett> keith_linux123   yep
[00:11] <mkultra_> i run a ntp server too
[00:11] <keith_linux123> ok, the federoa channel called me stupid for saying that
[00:11] <keith_linux123> since I really really need a GUI
[00:11] <wylde> keith_linux123: it runs more "under" the desktop then on top :P
[00:12] <ActionParsnip> keith_linux123: you can run server services in the desktop OS if you want
[00:12] <mkultra_> they use RPM dont trust them
[00:12] <keith_linux123> I plan on runing this in a VM too
[00:12] <gasti> ActionParsnip: I tried to change the line but when i run sudo update-grub it comes with /etc/default/grub: 35: Syntax error: EOF in backquote substitution.   Pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/899840/
[00:12] <CFHowlett> keith_linux123   doable ...
[00:12] <keith_linux123> like last night I had it set up just fine
[00:13] <keith_linux123> all it runs is a very small database appp
[00:13] <Mony> keith_linux123, you can, but the question do u want to? because i assume you are talking about your desktop pc. you know the one that u may crash or restart or anything
[00:13] <ActionParsnip> keith_linux123: why bother? just run the services on the desktop OS, it will use your hardware less as you are not running 2 OSes
[00:13] <keith_linux123> well, I want to be able to save states
[00:13] <ActionParsnip> gasti: change GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=.quiet splash"   to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
[00:13] <keith_linux123> backup , ect
[00:13] <keith_linux123> i'm testing it at home
[00:14] <ActionParsnip> keith_linux123: ah then yes states are handy :)
[00:14] <keith_linux123> but this is for small bussinesses
[00:14] <wylde> gasti: line 11 .quiet should be "quiet
[00:14] <keith_linux123> like many of them need some low impact databases
[00:14] <Mony> for testing its ok, but for anything "production" its far from ok
[00:14] <snail_> Hi. I have a nub queston, sorry for this, but google can't help me. What is first number in "Version" line in "aptitude show package_name" output exactly mean? For example "Version: 2:3.5.4~dfsg-1ubuntu8.5" what is 2?
[00:14] <ActionParsnip> gasti: exactly the same as last time you had to edit it, wasn't that a little obvious...?
[00:14] <Basstard`> What text editors have crash recovery?
[00:15] <gasti> ActionParsnip: Sorry, lol. Now worked. Still have the same problems with delay and heavy noise.
[00:15] <samantha-a--> how easy is it to get desktop running with three heads? i'm using a pair of EVGA GTX 460SEs, 1st gen.
[00:15] <ActionParsnip> Basstard`: gedit makes backups with tildes on the end of file names I believe, libreoffice does too
[00:15] <mkultra_> easy as pie for 2, dont imagine 3 being much different
[00:16] <Basstard`> ActionParsnip: gedit only does that to already saved/named files, not to totally new files which have never been saved
[00:16] <Mony> mkultra_,  if i remmeber correct nvidia cards can support up to 2 displays each, so the 3rd should be connected to the second card.
[00:16] <keith_linux123> much thanks everyone
[00:17] <_Marcus> How do I drag a window from one desktop to another?
[00:17] <_Marcus> Workspace I mean
[00:17] <research4oscar> i am getting the following error when trying to connect to my ubuntu machine from my laptop using winscp: Cannot initialize SFTP protocol. Is the host running a SFTP server?
[00:17] <keith_linux123> each time I ask a question in the fedora chanel I hear "blah blah, terminal , terminal "
[00:17] <_Marcus> I cant see the top part, so it's harder to drag
[00:17] <keith_linux123> _Marcus
[00:17] <keith_linux123> just drag it !
[00:17] <keith_linux123> over
[00:17] <_Marcus> keith_linux123: Get used to using the terminal, it's very, very important
[00:18] <wylde> _Marcus: you can right click on the title bar and select "Send to workspace ...."
[00:18] <_Marcus> I cant see the title bar
[00:18] <_Marcus> Never mind, I got it
[00:18] <ActionParsnip> keith_linux123: its handy to know some terminal stuff, plus irc is a text interface so giving commands makes sense
[00:18] <Artemis3> research4oscar, do you have installed the package "ssh" ? or "openssh-server"?
[00:19] <keith_linux123> yea, but they were rude about it
[00:19] <ActionParsnip> keith_linux123: plus it alleviates user error for clicking the wrong thing, or not finding what needs to be clicked
[00:19] <ActionParsnip> keith_linux123: yeah rude isn't cool
[00:19] <keith_linux123> like I know alot of Linux vets hate the new GUI based distros, but still
[00:19] <keith_linux123> tell me that I have no idea what i'm doing sense I found an easier way...
[00:20] <garthk> Grabbing linux-headers-2.6.32-40_2.6.32-40.87_all.deb is slow from utah.edu, too? Weeeeird.
[00:20] <ActionParsnip> keith_linux123: easier is good, as long as it achieves the same goal who cares :D
[00:20] <keith_linux123> anyway, VM vs hardware for sever ?
[00:20] <gasti> ActionParsnip: Any idea?
[00:20] <keith_linux123> advantage of VM , a client doesn't need a new computer to run
[00:20] <research4oscar> artemis3: yes. i can connect with my regular user just fine.
[00:20] <keith_linux123> advantage of hardware, more stable
[00:21] <lisa_> it didfnt work
[00:21] <lisa_> it keeps looping
[00:21] <lisa_> and installing gdm messed it right now.. now says cannot update ICRauthority
[00:21] <research4oscar> artemis3: i created another webuser with limited access to a folder under var/www and assigned him as owner.
[00:22] <ActionParsnip> gasti: all I can suggest is report a bug, you could try precise in liveCD, see if its any better there with the newer kernel
[00:22] <lisa_> Im sure Ubuntu is good but i cant use it guys.. its crashed on me and I spend 12 hours for nothing :(
[00:22] <lisa_> bye guys thanks for all your help
[00:22] <wetcircle_> hi guys
[00:22] <wetcircle_> just setup my vpn.
[00:22] <ActionParsnip> keith_linux123: shouldn't be wildly different as its a text based UI, so its fine
[00:22] <Scunizi> ActionParsnip: I got a python semnatics question.. you up for it ??
[00:22] <gasti> ActionParsnip: Thank you, i'll keep looking here. I saw some guys who had the same problem and dint find the solution yet.. :S
[00:22] <keith_linux123> thanks guys
[00:22] <ActionParsnip> Scunizi: I'm no good in python dude, sorry. Try #python
[00:23] <Scunizi> ActionParsnip: k..
[00:23] <keith_linux123> like i'm a IT jack of all trades
[00:25] <sheenzz> my browsers not working, why?
[00:26] <ActionParsnip> sheenzz: details please, 'not working' tells us nothing
[00:26] <almoxarife> sheenzz: cause its broke?
[00:26] <research4oscar> i am getting the following error when trying to connect to my ubuntu machine from my laptop using winscp: Cannot initialize SFTP protocol. Is the host running a SFTP server?
[00:26] <sheenzz> as in not opening
[00:26] <ActionParsnip> sheenzz: run it from terminal
[00:27] <keith_linux123> so i can't be an expert at everything
[00:27] <sheenzz> how do i
[00:27] <ActionParsnip> research4oscar: did you install openssh-server on the server side? Is the service runnning?
[00:27] <almoxarife> research4oscar: is it? sftp=secure ftp
[00:27] <ActionParsnip> sheenzz: which browser are you using?
[00:27] <sheenzz> chrome
[00:28] <research4oscar> yes opnssh-server is running.
[00:28] <sheenzz> actionparsnip: chrome
[00:29] <almoxarife> research4oscar: is this a win error > Cannot initialize SFTP protocol
[00:29] <ActionParsnip> sheenzz: i believe you will run:  google-chrome
[00:29] <bastidrazor> research4oscar: in winscp do not use SFTP under File Protocol:  .. Select SSH
[00:29] <ActionParsnip> research4oscar: can you ping the server?
[00:29] <research4oscar> i think it is. i can try installing filezilla and will get back to you
[00:29] <research4oscar> i'll try that.
[00:29] <ActionParsnip> research4oscar: was going to suggest filezilla
[00:30] <sheenzz> oh
[00:30] <almoxarife> research4oscar: filezilla=cause it works
[00:32] <ActionParsnip> almoxarife: if a bit bloated
[00:32] <sheenzz> actionparsnip: no, it didnt work
[00:32] <keith_linux123> so anyway, how stable is a sunbox Virtual box running inside of a windows host
[00:33] <keith_linux123> since thats what i'm going to be doing
[00:33] <ActionParsnip> keith_linux123: should be ok
[00:33] <keith_linux123> SEE, thats all i needed to hear
[00:33] <almoxarife> ActionParsnip: think so? never thought so, bloated is 'kontact' from kde , leave it to its own devices and 120meg is gonna come real fast
[00:33] <keith_linux123> the fedora chanel ganged up on me and  said it was all a bad idea
[00:34] <ActionParsnip> !info filezilla | almoxarife
[00:34] <ActionParsnip> almoxarife: 3Mb! its silly
[00:35] <ActionParsnip> sheenzz: try:  grep Exec /usr/share/applications/goo*
[00:36] <almoxarife> keith_linux123: fedora-ites are snobbish and elitist as a badge of honor(I assume), on the other hand ubuntu is suppose to be a GUI wonderland of linux, I like it that way, hence why I use it, think like that
[00:36] <snail_> Hi. I have a nub queston, sorry for this, but google can't help me. What is first number in "Version" line in "aptitude show package_name" output exactly mean? For example "Version: 2:3.5.4~dfsg-1ubuntu8.5" what is 2?
[00:36] <almoxarife> ActionParsnip: but, but, it's a gui
[00:36] <Lover> http://punya-rizal.blogspot.com/
[00:36] <ActionParsnip> almoxarife: true but it should use the default gtk stuff already installed...
[00:37] <Jordan_U> Lover: Please don't spam links in this channel.
[00:37] <bastidrazor> Jordan_U: he is ban evading :( iirc
[00:37] <almoxarife> keith_linux123: what you also need is 'cli-companion' because a terminal gui is an excellent thought
[00:37] <ActionParsnip> snail_: http://www.ducea.com/2006/06/17/ubuntu-package-version-naming-explanation/
[00:38] <Jordan_U> bastidrazor: Indeed, thanks.
[00:38] <keith_linux123> i don't think snobbery benifits anyone
[00:38] <keith_linux123> like the advantage of Ubuntu is that its pretty easy to use
[00:38] <Jordan_U> !ot | keith_linux123
[00:38] <keith_linux123> on it almoxarife
[00:39] <mangdood> which channel can I ask for shell programming help?
[00:39] <research4oscar> okay tried it with filezilla and i get connection closed by server with exitcode1
[00:39] <ActionParsnip> mangdood: #bash
[00:39] <mangdood> ActionParsnip, thanks
[00:39] <paradizelost> hey guys, i'm trying to find documentation on how to do ssl for multiple virtual hosts in apache on ubuntu, any suggestions?
[00:39] <ActionParsnip> research4oscar: do you use ssh keys?
[00:39] <paradizelost> all i'm finding is some gentoo documentation
[00:39] <research4oscar> not sure if i do. i use sftp
[00:40] <ActionParsnip> research4oscar: its a concious thing, so you probably dont :)
[00:40] <research4oscar> also i can connect using another user on my ubuntu machine
[00:40] <research4oscar> i am trying to connect user a webuser with limited rights.
[00:40] <research4oscar> i did notice i am using pureftp instead of proftp.
[00:41] <ActionParsnip> research4oscar: that is ftp, not sftp
[00:41] <research4oscar> ah!
[00:41] <research4oscar> is it safe to install proftp now. or do i need to uninstall pureftp first?
[00:42] <wylde> research4oscar: if you want to connect with sftp all you need is ssh....
[00:43] <research4oscar> i have sshserver installed as i see it in my terminal under programs.
[00:43] <research4oscar> it has an asteric next to it. so does lamp.
 thanx, but this article about end numbers of version line. I mean it is about numbers behind ubuntu word. But I asked about start number (2) between Version word and version number (e.g. 2.5.4).
[00:47] <gasti> ActionParsnip: Still there bro? I found the solution for the youtube and videos delay.
[00:47] <wylde> snail_: I believe that is the upstream maintainers/authors version
[00:48] <gasti> wylde: do you remember my flash delay problem?
[00:48] <wylde> gasti: I read some about it yes.
[00:49] <gasti> wylde: i found the solution, but it is only for firefox, maybe you could help me applying it to chrome. I'll show you: I did exactly this and the delay competely dissapeared: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1760248&page=3
[00:50] <fernandocueva> what is the difference between installing a .run file using sh ./ or just ./
[00:51] <wylde> gasti: meaning you followed that in Firefox?
 thanx for your opinion, but it's so strange that i can't find exact information about it...
[00:52] <gasti> wylde: what? sorry. I followed these steps and solved it in forefox. -> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/294666/comments/34     but I want to make it work properly in chromium
[00:53] <wylde> fix commited since 8.10 hmmm
[00:53] <Jordan_U> fernandocueva: "sh /path/to/file" means use the interpreter sh to interpret the file passed as an sh script. "/path/to/file" alone means execute file, if it's a binary run it, if it has a #! line then use the interpreter and options specified there.
[00:54] <wylde> gasti: I'm not sure I'm the one to ask about using this fix for chromium..
[00:55] <Jordan_U> fernandocueva: './' is simply the beginning of a path to a file, starting with the current directory ('.'). IMHO you should never use "sh /path/to/file" because file may be a bash script, or a perl script, or a binary instead of a POSIX sh script.
[00:55] <Jordan_U> fernandocueva: That said, you usually should also avoid installing things via any type of script rather than the package manager if at all possible.
[00:56] <wylde> gasti: lol ok I see what they're doing.
[00:56] <Nicolas_Leonida2> hey if I install wordpress with aptitute on ubuntu, will I be able to upgrade it with apt-get?
[00:56] <Jordan_U> Nicolas_Leonida2: Yes.
[00:56] <wylde> make a copy of the file thay had you make for firefox, rename it chromium or somesuch
[00:56] <wylde> gasti: make a copy of the file thay had you make for firefox, rename it chromium or somesuch
[00:57] <Nicolas_Leonida2> Jordan_U: will the security releases be auto installed as well?
[00:58] <wylde> gasti: on the last line change it to exec /usr/bin/chromium-browser "$@"
[00:58] <CFHowlett> y
[00:58] <Jordan_U> Nicolas_Leonida2: There is basically no difference between "sudo aptidue install foo" and "sudo apt-get install foo" anymore (and in the past the main difference was knowing what was automatically installed vs manually installed so that when you *removed* a package you had an easier time clearing out the cruft it depended on as well).
[00:59] <almoxarife> is there a 'watch-dog' sort of process/app/util that will look for a running occurrence of some process and kills it if found?
[00:59] <gasti> wylde: it's not working
[01:00] <wylde> gasti: not working as in? still have sound issues? browser won't start? details please
[01:00] <fernandocueva> so Jordan_U I don't need to type both then sh and ./
[01:01] <gasti> wylde: I tried  to create another file named chromium-browser with the same contain that the firefox one. Of course i changed the firefox line to chromium-browser but when i try to execute it it says: "bash: /user/local/bin/chromium-browser: No existe el archivo o el directorio
[01:01] <gasti> "
[01:02] <Jordan_U> spittingCobra: Not only do you not need to type the sh, you *shouldn't*. Yould instead make sure that the permissions are set correctly and simply enter the path. But before you do that, what are you actually trying to install?
[01:02] <wylde> gasti: /usr not /user
[01:02] <gasti> wylde: nvm , typping error. I could execute it but the delay isnt fixed
[01:02] <gasti> wylde: yea just noted that, but look up :p
[01:03] <wylde> gasti: hmmm, sorry beyond that I don't know what to tell you. Thought modifying the script might have worked.
[01:04] <amarcolino> hi, im having an issue with ubuntu 11.10 and lvm, on every restart it outputs that it can't find my partitions and I have to manually mount them with vgchange -a y. It seems lvm isn't being made active on each boot, anyone knows how to solve this?
[01:05] <hi675445> why dose ubuntu take so much resoses
[01:06] <hi675445> i tryed liunx mint with unaty and it runs better than ubuntu there load of unessary blote in ubuntu
[01:07] <tensorpudding> hi675445, do you have a support question
[01:07] <wylde> hi675445: do you have an ubuntu support question?
[01:07] <James78> Is this a support channel?
[01:07] <hi675445> my fan all ways on
[01:07] <James78> I have a pretty technical question./
[01:08] <hi675445> take to much cpu
[01:08] <James78> hi675445: Is it a process eating your CPU?
[01:08] <tensorpudding> James78, you can ask ubuntu support questions here and if someone can help you they'll answer
[01:09] <hi675445> i no but ubuntu was meant to run on old pc intill unaty come a long
[01:09] <hi675445> now it imposable
[01:09] <Basstard`> How old?
[01:10] <hi675445> my cpu at 18 at the mo but when playing youtube video it gose up
[01:10] <hi675445> 50
[01:11] <amarcolino> anyone had issues with lvm on 11.10?
[01:11] <gdisk> good evening
[01:11] <ActionParsnip> hi675445: ubuntu uses fewer resources than windows in most cases
[01:11] <gdisk> anyone is having problems with GPT and Ubuntu 11.10?
[01:11] <galamar> hello. does anyone know how I can message one of the ops from #backtrack-linux? I have tried '/msg chanserv access #backtrack-linux acces' it provides some names and other info but I'm not sure who is online, and when I try to msg some of the nicks it says they are invalid.
[01:12] <kaushal> Hi
[01:12] <ActionParsnip> hi675445: if you have a low end system I recommend Lubuntu
[01:12] <kaushal> can someone please ping me
[01:12] <ActionParsnip> galamar: i'd ask in #freenode
[01:12] <galamar> ok
[01:12] <gdisk> ping kaushal
[01:12] <hi675445> it not it a new pc its a celeron
[01:12] <kaushal> gdisk: Thanks
[01:12] <kaushal> gdisk: testing irssi irc client
[01:12] <James78> Ok, so, I am having a problem with an Xorg video driver (lead me somewhere else if relevant), specifically i915; using the latest version out of the repos, and Kubuntu 11.10. My computer just crashes all of a sudden. I didn't bother to find out what did it until now. Something about a page table error. Any idea of the problem? Here are my error messages. http://paste.ubuntu.com/899864/
[01:12] <gdisk> ok
[01:12] <kaushal> gdisk: great its working
[01:13] <gdisk> nice for u
[01:13] <ActionParsnip> hi675445: should be ok, as long as you have more than 512Mb RAM you'll be ok :)
[01:13] <kaushal> gdisk: whats the version available for irssi client in 11.10 ?
[01:13] <gdisk> anyone thinks xfce is better than unity+gnome3 ?
[01:13] <alfredo> I have a problem with math in libreoffice help!!!
[01:13] <ActionParsnip> gdisk: in some cases, yes
[01:13] <hi675445> ok put the fan all way on is that on for ubuntu
[01:13] <bastidrazor> !info irssi | kaushal
[01:14] <craigbass1976> What's the best way to stream video (live from a webcam) and over a lan?  Looks like maybe vlc, but I haven't found a good tut yet.
[01:14] <ActionParsnip> alfredo: ask away
[01:14] <alfredo> ok
[01:14] <tensorpudding> my computer is reasonably recent and it isn't perfect handling ubuntu 11.10 either, but i accept the slowness as a trade-off
[01:14] <alfredo> math doesnt work with libreoffice 3.5.1
[01:14] <ActionParsnip> craigbass1976: there is no single besy way to do anything
[01:14] <wylde> gdisk, as of right now I do. I'm hoping as Unity matures some of the features I miss from gnome2 will find their way back.
[01:14] <alfredo> dont appear the window to enter the formula
[01:14] <ActionParsnip> !info libreoffice
[01:15] <Basstard`> craigbass1976: There's also Flumotion.
[01:15] <gdisk> wylde, have u tried MATE?
[01:15] <craigbass1976> Ok, you got me.  What have folks found to be the least headache way to stream audio and video over a lan?
[01:15] <ActionParsnip> alfredo: then its from a source outside the repos
[01:15] <wylde> gdisk: no I haven't
[01:15] <alfredo> what to do?
[01:15] <ActionParsnip> wylde: there is a guide on omgubuntu how to tweak the desktop to look like Gnome2
[01:15] <alfredo> I purged libreoffice
[01:15] <ActionParsnip> alfredo: ask in the libreoffice channel
[01:15] <alfredo> ok
[01:15] <hi675445> Intel® Celeron(R) CPU 900 @ 2.20GHz
[01:15] <alfredo> how I enter this channel?
[01:16] <wylde> ActionParsnip: yeah I know, but it's still doesn't "feel" like gnome2 :)
[01:16] <alfredo> inspanish?
[01:16] <ActionParsnip> wylde: or install xfce4 and use that, runs a lot like gnome2
[01:16] <hi675445> Mobile Intel® GM45 Express Chipset
[01:16] <ActionParsnip> alfredo:     /joing #libreoffice
[01:16] <tensorpudding> wow, is that cpu 11 years old?
[01:16] <ActionParsnip> oops
[01:16] <hi675445> 2.9 GiB ram
[01:16] <wylde> ActionParsnip: yep that's what I primarily use.
[01:16] <ActionParsnip>  alfredo     /join #libreoffice
[01:16] <tensorpudding> oh, wait, different celeron 900
[01:17] <ActionParsnip> hi675445: I have a sempron 3000 AM2 @ 1.6Ghz, runs Ubuntu really well
[01:17] <gdisk> ActionParsnip, tweaking gnome 3 to look like gnome 2 it's quite tricky
[01:17] <wylde> ActionParsnip: I still login using unity here and there to test for bugs though.
[01:17] <ActionParsnip> gdisk: omgubuntu have a handy how to, so not that hard
[01:17] <tensorpudding> ah, single-core penryn from 2009
[01:17] <fernandocueva> does anybody knows if I can install the ati propietary driver on ubuntu
[01:17] <ActionParsnip> wylde: I use lxde mainly but float around in Unity2D too
[01:18] <tensorpudding> but it was cheap and underpowered at that time
[01:18] <ActionParsnip> fernandocueva: sure, use the additional driver app
[01:18] <hi675445> i worry abou fan on most of the time i use to windows the fan dose not come on much on it
[01:18] <wylde> ActionParsnip: my biggest complaint with Unity is the global menu, altho I heard a rumor that global menu may become optional! yay!
[01:18] <gdisk> I don't mean tricky, i mean... if you are going to stay on ubuntu and dont' like gnome 3 or unity, go to xfce, lxde or mate
[01:19] <gdisk> gnome 3 + tweaks... quite a mess of libraries
[01:19] <gdisk> moreover, ppl seem to dislike gnome-fallback appearance
[01:20] <hi675445> mu pc smell when fan spins all that dust in it bring a way lolol
[01:20] <hi675445> laptop
[01:20] <ActionParsnip> wylde: you can remove that, its not mandatory...
[01:20] <hi675445> my latop horaply dusty
[01:20] <ActionParsnip> gdisk: ubuntu with xfce is still ubuntu
[01:21] <wylde> ActionParsnip: yep and I did, Just heard they're going to add an option in Appearnce to disable it, rather than removing packages
[01:21] <hi675445> what better installing desk top or diro dedacated to it
[01:22] <wylde> hi675445: pardon?
[01:22] <zhxk> my screen resolution is 1024*600, how to do to make it work? my newly installed ubuntu 11.10 cant make use of it
[01:22] <hi675445> desktop inviament vs installing  disto
[01:23] <ActionParsnip> zhxk: what video chip?
[01:23] <hi675445> Mobile Intel® GM45 Express Chipset
[01:24] <zhxk> the cpu is atom n450
[01:24] <ActionParsnip> zhxk: why was that not in your initial question??
[01:24] <wylde> hi675445: If I understand correctly, choosing distro and/or desktop enviroment is entirely based on the users preference.
[01:24] <hi675445> ok
[01:24] <zhxk> 3150?
[01:25] <zhxk> intel graphics accelerator 3150

[01:26] <ghostconn> just wondering if there is a way to make plymouth load faster in the grub file?... my problem is Im using plymouth manager and a themed splash screen. It works when i shutdown, however when I boot i see a black screen for about 10seconds and then a slight glimpse of my splash screen. (maybe half a second)

[01:27] <dev00p> is there any Latvians in here ?
[01:28] <zhxk> actionParsnip, im on ms-windows now
[01:28] <ActionParsnip> zhxk: if you can make a pastebin of the output of:  sudo lshw -C display; lsb_release -a; uname -a; xrandr     It'd help
[01:29] <ghostconn> ActionParsnip, I am not using any of the restricted fglrx drivers for my ati card.
[01:30] <hi675445> i now locked by side bar it was anoying

[01:33] <JermBob> is there a samba like application in ubuntu default /
[01:33] <ghostconn> if I were to change the grub timeout from the default 10seconds to say... 15 would that in theory solve my problem or jsut mess my system up from starting?
[01:33] <JermBob> like for creating a network share windows and *nix can read / write from ?
[01:34] <rawfodog> Ubuntu is installed, and I have a clean partition ready. I want to install windows 7 on the clean partition, but I'm worried it may screw up my ubuntu install. Can someone give me a link to how to do this ?
[01:34] <JermBob> rawfodog install windows first heh
[01:34] <JermBob> ubuntu does clever twin boot setups
[01:34] <rawfodog> JermBob, ubuntu is already installed
[01:34] <JermBob> yeah
[01:35] <kaushal> Hi
[01:35] <Sly__> Why is it that 12.04 won't show the desktop in the "Ubuntu" profile without using the guest session, but will in the "Ubuntu 2D" profile?
[01:35] <JermBob> going from that way about it i dont know how to do it all sorry
[01:35] <JermBob> it would need some kinda boot loading thing made up
[01:35] <ActionParsnip> Sly__: ask in #ubuntu+1 for 12.04 support please
[01:35] <Sly__> Ah. K.
[01:35] <ActionParsnip> Sly__: it does say when you joined the channel...
[01:35] <wylde> rawfodog: after installing windows you will have to re-install grub.
[01:35] <hi675445> becouse and buge as hell it is beta
[01:35] <wylde> !grub | rawfodog
[01:35] <rawfodog> wylde, what program does that ?
[01:36] <Sly__> ActionParsnip, didn't pay any attention to it. Was seeing what the conversation was about, and if it was relevant.
[01:37] <hi675445> where can i get the bule striped background
[01:38] <ActionParsnip> Sly__: well now you know :). All prereleases are supported in #ubuntu+1 til they are officially released
[01:38] <ghostconn> if I were to change the grub timeout from the default 10seconds to say... 15 would that make my splash screen appear or just mess my system up from starting?
[01:38] <zhxk> actionparsnip, pci(sysfs)
[01:38] <ActionParsnip> hi675445: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=gnome+blue+striped+wallpaper&hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=ugK&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&prmd=imvns&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=lchvT861BoHT8gP57rG_DQ&ved=0CGIQsAQ&biw=1680&bih=881
[01:38] <zhxk> actionparsnip, no lsb modules are available
[01:38] <ActionParsnip> zhxk: wait, your pci bus is slow
[01:39] <ActionParsnip> zhxk: Pastebin the whole text, then we can see it as one, the lshw command may be slow
[01:39] <ActionParsnip> hi675445: easy stuff huh...
[01:39] <zhxk> actionparsnip, what can i do?
[01:39] <ActionParsnip> zhxk: run the command as one, pastebin the result and paste the link here, like I asked
[01:39] <zhxk> actionparsnip, i typed those command on cli on recovery model
[01:40] <escott> ghostconn, the splash screen would not appear any faster
[01:40] <ghostconn> can someone take a look? http://pastie.org/3669236      , Upon starting my system I get a black screen for about 10seconds and then my splash screen will appear for half a second

[01:42] <zhxk> actionparsnip, code name oniric, linux 3.0.0-12-gene8ic #20-ubuntu smp, i686 i386 gnu/linux
[01:43] <ActionParsnip> zhxk: I'd get your networking working first, more than display
[01:43] <hi675445> that bule background sick love it dont no why
[01:43] <zhxk> actionparsnip, lshw -c shows nothing

[01:46] <ActionParsnip> zhxk: again, is it a laptop?
[01:46] <zhxk> actionparsnip, its a tiny laption
[01:46] <zhxk> actionparsnip, its a tiny laptop
[01:47] <hi675445> my pc run ubuntu with out recomended drives so i dont no much about ati i got intel
[01:47] <ActionParsnip> zhxk: get a wired connect and get updated, it will make life a lot easier

[01:48] <andresmh> I am VNC-ing into my Ubuntu server. I am able to authenticate just fine, but all I see once I am in is a gray screen and the mouse pointer that looks like the default mouse pointer of Xorg. So I am wondering how do I start GNOME and such?
[01:48] <scottj> anyone know a torrent client that allows you to choose which files in torrent to download via a UI that supports filtering?
[01:48] <Xabster> what's filtering?
[01:48] <ActionParsnip> scottj: transmission lets you choose the files when you add a torrent
[01:48] <scottj> Xabster: typing part of the name of the file
[01:48] <zhxk> actionparsnip, how to update ubuntu over recovery model?
[01:49] <scottj> ActionParsnip: yeah that's what I'm using but it doesn't let you filter files by name so you have to scroll and manually search
[01:49] <Xabster> scottj, i don't understand and thus I can't tell you if transmission can do that
[01:49] <hi675445> utorent but i think it uses wine
[01:49] <Xabster> oh, a search feature thingy
[01:49] <ActionParsnip> zhxk: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
[01:49] <ActionParsnip> zhxk: you can do that in normal mode too
[01:51] <hi675445> no sorry utorent change :( it not as it was
[01:53] <fernandocueva> I'm trying to install ati-driver-installer-9.3-x86 for my 9800xt but the instalation instructions say only novel/suse and redhat are supported I tried running using ./ but I get an error saying "Error: ./default_policy.sh does not support version"
[01:55] <ghostconn> is it easy to dual boot arch with ubuntu
[01:56] <zhxk> how to config network over cli?
[01:56] <zhxk> how to config network over cli recovery-model?
[01:56] <zhxk> actionparsnip,how to config network over cli recovery-model?
[01:57] <escott> zhxk, if you have configured it through the gui you can enable with nmcli
[01:57] <_Marcus> What's a replacement for iTunes? I really like iTunes, and I want something similar to it.
[01:58] <zhxk> escott, gui not available
[01:58] <zhxk> escott, gu dontwork
[01:58] <ghostconn> _Marcus , install gmusicbrowser
[01:58] <zhxk> escott, gui dont work, i have to enter recovery-model
[01:58] <almoxarife> zhxk: was this a new install?
[01:58] <gasti> Hi guys, any good software to know which are my computer specs?
[01:58] <gasti> like video card, sound card..
[01:58] <ActionParsnip> zhxk: you can use dhcp automatically
[01:58] <hi675445> how to install utorrent http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qa0fClcsEmk
[01:58] <escott> zhxk, *if* you *have* configured...

[01:59] <almoxarife> zhxk: did you install onnected to the internet via ethernet?
[01:59] <almoxarife> zhxk: did you install connected to the internet via ethernet?
[01:59] <zhxk> actionparsnip, dhcp supported , how to config laption to adopt to a dhcp network?
[02:00] <ghostconn> utorrent is garbage use transmission
[02:00] <zhxk> almoxarife, never
[02:00] <ActionParsnip> zhxk: run:  sudo dhclient3 eth0

[02:00] <_Marcus> Will Banshee Media Player keep a copy of the songs I import on my hard drive?
[02:00] <_Marcus> If I impor them over the network that is
[02:00] <zhxk> actionparsnip, then?
[02:01] <ActionParsnip> hi675445: what's the point, there are plenty of torrent clients in the repos which are easier to install and remove, plus utorrent is only usable via web ui currently
[02:01] <ActionParsnip> zhxk: then you will get an IP via DHCP...
[02:01] <zhxk> actionparsnip, and then?
[02:01] <zhxk> actionparsnip, and then use apt-get series?
[02:02] <ActionParsnip> zhxk: yes

[02:05] <abhatnag> ActionParsnip: broadcom something, on Fedora to make it work, I have to enable kmod-staging. RTL8192E i believe
[02:06] <ActionParsnip> _Marcus: the files are left in place, they are just referenced, there is no copying
[02:06] <hi675445> my pc at 100% cpu usege
[02:06] <_Marcus> ghostconn: I heard (I cannot confirm) that kubuntu was easy for customizing.
[02:06] <_Marcus> ActionParsnip: Thanks
[02:06] <ActionParsnip> abhatnag: can you get the exact chip and we can search
[02:06] <ActionParsnip> hi675445: run:  top    see what is maxing it out

[02:11] <hi675445> killed it soud grop nothing happened
[02:11] <ActionParsnip> abhatnag: hopefully the PPA will help
[02:12] <hi675445> back
[02:13] <abhatnag> ActionParsnip: cool, going to try that out, should I blacklist my current driver first or will it just be overridden?
[02:13] <ActionParsnip> abhatnag: the blacklist files aren't overwritten, follow the guide, see how it goes
[02:13] <ActionParsnip> abhatnag: the chip looks like a pain
[02:13] <abhatnag> ah ok
[02:14] <abhatnag> yeah, this chip's been with me for 7 years, and it has brought me precisely 7 years of pain
[02:14] <abhatnag> ActionParsnip: brb, trying now, will report back
[02:17] <bbOOmm> I'm having some difficulties getting a program to automatically start upon boot of Ubuntu 10.03.3LTS desktop (Gnome) Upon booting to the desktop, I need a pause of 10 seconds, then a terminal window to open, another pause of 10 seconds, then I need to run in super user "myprogram" --- I have figured out how to open the terminal window with a 10 second pause, but I havn't been able to figure out how to pause another 10 seconds, go i
[02:17] <bbOOmm> nto super user and execute the program. Can someone help me with this?
[02:17] <bastidrazor> phong_: if you install unrar then you should have an option in nautilus to unrar a .rar when right clicking on it or double clicking
[02:18] <hi675445> i be back
[02:18] <ActionParsnip> bbOOmm: does the app need running as root, or as user?
[02:18] <inzi86> hey guys
[02:19] <inzi86> did anyone try installing unity 5.0 on ubuntu 11.10?
[02:19] <inzi86> i saw it on sum blogs and i tried but doesnt seem to work
[02:19] <bbOOmm> ActionParsnip :  after I type in sudo su, my password , I then can execute the program
[02:19] <inzi86> there is no error as such but after the dist-upgrade command.. nuthing really gets upgraded
[02:19] <escott> bbOOmm, why do you need to do this
[02:20] <bbOOmm> running darkice
[02:20] <bbOOmm> audio streaming
[02:20] <_Marcus> inzi86: "sum" is the end value of adding two or more numbers togethor. "some" is what you meant to say.
[02:20] <anwaya> Hey,sorry to interrupt ,I wanted to use the command sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fkrull/deadsnakes on ubuntu 11.10. I have installed python software packages software.However, while trying to install the repository,it says pycurl error..Could someone please help me with the problem..
[02:21] <ghostconn> dose anyone know if it's easy to dual boot with the new kubuntu 12.04 I want to give it a try
[02:21] <bbOOmm> escott : I'm running darkice audio streaming from the command line ...
[02:21] <ActionParsnip> ghostconn: ask in #ubuntu+1 please
[02:21] <ActionParsnip> bbOOmm: use:  sudo -i   instead of sudo su
[02:21] <inzi86> any help with installing unity 5.0
[02:21] <escott> bbOOmm, generally speaking having a gui run as root on every boot would be discouraged. im not familiar with darkice but does it really need the gui?
[02:22] <zykotic10> escott: after running darkice as root, i'm guessing it's probably made some config files root owned...
[02:22] <abhatnag> ActionParsnip: hey, just an update, no luck with that; that ppa, hwe-wireless does not have an Oneiric component
[02:22] <ActionParsnip> bbOOmm: if you make a script to run your command with a large sleep befroe the command, then add that in /etc/rc.local with an ampersand to background it, it will run as root when the desktop loads
[02:22] <abhatnag> ActionParsnip: on the plus side, the guy who ran that works at Canonical, so I could get in touch and ask for an update
[02:22] <ActionParsnip> abhatnag: ah, I see. I'd get a new wifi tbh, if its 7 years of pain
[02:23] <escott> bbOOmm, and the random 10 second delays are also a bit weird. if that were really necessary I would strongly suggest not running that program ever because it must be horribly written and you dont want to trust something like that with root
[02:23] <abhatnag> ActionParsnip: true; just as an FYI, I think this nic has something to do with 3+ linux kernel, cause another repo I used for drivers on Fedora stopped supporting it right then as well
[02:24] <bbOOmm> escott : I do not think I'm running in root with the GUI ( gnome) ... I just couldn't figure out how -just yet- to get the sound card and darkice all setup with out the gui... learning the command line stuff and new to darkice, so I went with something I knew to start with.
[02:24] <ActionParsnip> abhatnag: wifi is cheap. I'd just replace with something super compatible
[02:25] <abhatnag> ActionParsnip: true enough; thanks for your help, off to other things in life now
[02:26] <atxq> so how can I reset my touchpad when it freezes up?
[02:26] <escott> bbOOmm, well i would encourage you to figure out how to do it properly, but if you *must* do it this way then the thing to do is create a script that has the necessary sleeps and then mark that script with the setuid bit and add it to your gnome-session, but there are all kinds of security klaxon's going off with doing something like that
[02:26] <bbOOmm> escott...  if I run darkice with out the sudo , I get the error " cannot run POSIX real time scheduling - try to run darkice as super-user
[02:26] <inzi86> isit possible to install unity 5.2 on ubuntu 11.10?
[02:27] <zykotic10> bbOOmm: (basically just escott +1) but, using "sudo su" like you did leads to problems.  you should learn to use sudo properly.
[02:27] <bbOOmm> zykotic10 : I'm learning the command line stuff .... that is why I'm here asking questions, learning
[02:28] <atxq> anyone know how I can figure out what module controls my touchpad?
[02:28] <escott> bbOOmm, they should have some kind of wrapper util to start it as a non-priv user and grant it RT privs, or maybe you can do something to grant your user access to RT privs
[02:29] <escott> bbOOmm, but granting root to enable RT is giving away nuclear launch codes so they can empty the trash cans in the oval office
[02:29] <ghostconn> for some reason i get this message on every song i want to play
[02:29] <ghostconn> Playing error : Your GStreamer installation is missing a plug-in. at /usr/bin/../share/gmusicbrowser/gmusicbrowser_gstreamer-0.10.pm line 135.
[02:29] <_ninja> sendmail发送HTML格式的邮件及发件怎么发呢？
[02:29] <zykotic10> atxq: the beginning of this might help?  http://wiki.debian.org/SynapticsTouchpad
[02:30] <escott> bbOOmm, this might help http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/sound/realtime.xml
[02:30] <atxq> thanks zykotic10
[02:31] <jonathon> Is there a text editor I can use to remove a certain phrase from multiple text files? Prferably I need it to be able to open multiple text files from multiple folders.
[02:31] <diamonds> I'm using Pinta
[02:32] <diamonds> can I free rotate?
[02:32] <escott> bbOOmm, you might also look at this: http://code.google.com/p/darkice/issues/detail?id=21 I would just disable RT and tell darkice to deal with it
[02:32] <ActionParsnip> jonathon: use bash script
[02:32] <bbOOmm> escott : Ok, let me ask this then. Since darkice is requiring the need for sudo in order to run right... what would you ( and others can chime in here)  , what would be recomended as a audio streamer...  Shoutcast compatible
[02:32] <jonathon> ActionParsnip, Alright cool, How exactly might I do that?
[02:34] <bbOOmm> escott : note, I can always switch this thing to ubuntu server instead of desktop
[02:34] <phong_> hi guys, is there i explorer for ubuntu?
[02:34] <escott> bbOOmm, darkice isn't requiring root, its currently configured to use RT scheduling which your system has configured to only allow for root. I think RT scheduling is a bit overkill for anything but professional use, but your options are: (a) grant root (discouraged) (b) configure darkice to not use RT (I would do this) (c) configure our system to allow RT for non-root
[02:34] <escott> phong_, nautilus
[02:34] <nino> hi
[02:34] <darkhalo> hello
[02:34] <darkhalo> what's up people?
[02:35] <jeroth> phong_, you want internet explorer for ubuntu?
[02:35] <escott> bbOOmm, running on server probably wouldn't help, servers are less likely to have RT in many cases
[02:35] <phong_> no
[02:35] <escott> jonathon, sed?
[02:35] <phong_> i want to access to iphone SD
[02:35] <phong_> i know in windows they got IExplorer
[02:35] <jeroth> phong_, ah, not familiar with that app
[02:36] <phong_> in windows they got: www.iphone-explorer.com
[02:36] <darkhalo> you talking to me escott?
[02:36] <bbOOmm> escott : since I'm learning this command line stuff, how would you do option B ( what you listed above :-)   I greatly appreciate the time and help you are giving me.
[02:36] <phong_> i'm not sure about ubuntu
[02:36] <escott> jonathon, "sed -i.bak -e "s/something/else/g" filename.txt" will replace something with else everywhere it is seen and make a backup copy of the file as filename.txt.bak
[02:37] <jeroth> phong_, Have you tried searching the software center? I think I saw an app that can explore the Iphone in there before.
[02:37] <escott> bbOOmm, so check if your version supports this config option: applied in r481 http://code.google.com/p/darkice/issues/detail?id=21
[02:37] <jonathon> escott, alright, thanks much
[02:38] <darkhalo> anybody in here know much about vpn's?

[02:44] <ghostconn> is it true you can use both the kde and gnome shell with kubuntu
[02:45] <ActionParsnip> hi675445: kde started in 1996, not young at all
[02:45] <hi675445> loads of thing missing from kde like jant rite click and run thing in java like mincraft
[02:45] <jeroth> phong_,try replugging in the iphone...
[02:45] <phong_> ok
[02:45] <ActionParsnip> hi675445: its 1 year older than Gnome
[02:45] <ghostconn> lol
[02:46] <ghostconn> kde is very well developed
[02:46] <hi675445> ok then it no new but baddy but together

[02:47] <jeroth> phong_, okay try installing the program gtkpod
[02:47] <monkeyjuice> so fix it
[02:47] <jeroth> phong_, sudo apt-get install gtkpod

[02:47] <OU818> sudo aptitude install gentoo does not work
[02:47] <hi675445> cant rite click in kde and run with open java 6
[02:47] <ActionParsnip> OU818: that doesn't make sense, neither does your question. If you rephrase it we may be able to help
[02:48] <ActionParsnip> OU818: gentoo isn't a package in the ubuntu repos
[02:48] <ActionParsnip> OU818: also aptitude isn't installed by default, do you have aptitude installed?
[02:48] <zykotick9> !info gentoo | ActionParsnip
[02:49] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: ooooh, I am educated. Thanks
[02:49] <ActionParsnip> OU818: do you have universe repo enabled?
[02:49] <ActionParsnip> OU818: looks like it exists (weird name), sorry

[02:53] <Lover> http://punya-rizal.blogspot.com/
[02:54] <bbOOmm> escott : Thank you for your help, I'm trying some stuff with the info you gave me. Thank you
[02:56] <BlueProtoman> Why don't I have a /var/log/messages?
[02:56] <BlueProtoman> (Ubuntu 11.04)
[02:57] <monkeyjuice> r
[02:57] <zykotick9> BlueProtoman: ubuntu != debian, they call is kernel or something???
[02:58] <BlueProtoman> Huh?
[02:58] <trism> BlueProtoman: /var/log/messages is disabled in rsyslog in natty+, you can find most of the stuff that was there in /var/log/kern.log and syslog
[02:58] <ziroday> Hi there, I'm trying to install Ubuntu on a MBP from usb though I keep getting missing operating system from a usb disk created using startup disk creator. What am I doing wrong?
[02:58] <BlueProtoman> Where is syslog?
[02:58] <quiescens> /var/log/syslog
[02:59] <BlueProtoman> Erm, right...thanks...
[02:59] <trism> BlueProtoman: it is actually just commented out in /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf if you wanted to enable it again
[02:59] <Jordan_U> ziroday: Most intel Macs have a bug in that Apple's BIOS implementation doesn't support booting from USB. You either need to use a CD (highly recommended) or create an EFI based bootable USB.
[03:00] <ziroday> Jordan_U, I don't have a CD - how do I go about the latter?
[03:00] <Jordan_U> ziroday: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download
[03:00] <Arizona_Bay> so what do i do to sync my ipod?
[03:00] <ziroday> Jordan_U, I've got the ISO....
[03:01] <machiolate> anyone know how to enable the middle click paste option in Gnome-fallback/ubuntu GUI?
[03:01] <machiolate> where you can just hover over and hit middle click to paste
[03:01] <BlueProtoman> Hell, I wanna DISABLE it.
[03:01] <Jordan_U> ziroday: That page has instructions for creating a USB drive which is bootable on a mac (though they require the use of OSX, if you don't have OSX I can give you instructions on doing it with grub-efi from GNU/Linux).
[03:02] <quiescens> why do you need to disable it?
[03:02] <quiescens> well anyway, as trism mentioned, config is in /etc/rsyslog.d/
[03:02] <ziroday> Jordan_U, that would be great if you could give me instruction for Ubuntu 11.10
[03:03] <zykotick9> machiolate: does highlighting something and middle click not work by default in ubuntu?
[03:03] <hi675445> yes
[03:04] <BlueProtoman> quiescens: I hate middle-click paste.
[03:04] <joubin> hey guys, can someone help me with ubuntu pptp server. I have it running, however, it doesnt change my ip address?
[03:04] <quiescens> oh different subject thingy, there is a way to disable it
[03:05] <Jordan_U> ziroday: Can you wait about an hour
[03:05] <Jordan_U> ?
[03:06] <DD123> How do I list all of a packages direct dependencies?  apt-rdepends, which google pointed me too, only seems to list the package I type in.  I write in "firefox" and it outputs only "firefox"
[03:06] <ziroday> Jordan_U, urf preferably not. If you could just point me in the right direction that would be great. If you have to run no worries.
[03:06] <zykotick9> Can someone confirm/deny for me - does highlighting something then middle click paste work in 11.10 Unity and/or Gnome3 by default?
[03:07] <joubin> @DD123 after the install fails, do a apt-get -f install with no package names
[03:07] <joubin> it will get your dependecies for you
[03:07] <zykotick9> DD123: "apt-cache depends foo" and "apt-cache rdepends foo" might be of help
[03:07] <Praxi_> anyone have any good guides for apache reverse proxy?  Trying to set up a ubuntu server running openerp, but I want to run it over SSL and need to reverse proxy it to domainname:8069
[03:07] <ziroday> zykotick9, it works here
[03:07] <escott> zykotick9, depends on the app, i'm noticing a lot of apps ignore the buffer, but copy and middle click usually works
[03:08] <zykotick9> escott: thanks.  if it's app failure i can live with that, if it's ubuntu in general - i'd stop visiting this channel.
[03:08] <Jordan_U> ziroday: Install grub-efi (not grub-pc) to a USB drive then copy the iso file (do *not* extract it) to said USB drive and write a grub.cfg following http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/Loopback.cfg#How_do_you_create_a_loopback.cfg.3F
[03:08] <DD123> zykotick9: Thanks!  That was exactly what I was looking for!
[03:09] <jeroth> zykotick9, works fine in ubuntu 11.10 for me. Probably apps ignoring the middle click.
[03:09] <Jordan_U> ziroday: Sorry I can't give more detailed instructions than that at the moment.
[03:09] <zykotick9> jeroth: thanks for the confirmation
[03:09] <escott> zykotick9, you might want to install one of the clipboard managers which will automatically sync the selection and cut clipboards and make the behavior more consistent
[03:09] <jeroth> zykotick9, np :)

[03:18] <darkhalo> notice how no questions get answered cause of stupid people
[03:18] <ghostconn> for some reason i can't play any of my .flac files in gmusicbrowser
[03:18] <ActionParsnip> JelloPop: it doesn't, virtualbox uses the ISO you give it
[03:18] <ActionParsnip> ghostconn: do other apps work ok?

[03:20] <hi675445> wubi with windows 7 lol
[03:20] <ActionParsnip> N008573R: it is impossible to run 64bit OS on 32bit CPU, the reverse is possible
[03:20] <calebe> i just have one question, when will ubuntu 12.04 be released ?
[03:20] <N008573R> ActionParsnip, I don't know it says I have 64 bit os when I lookup

[03:22] <calebe> (-.-)... i wanna know the day...
[03:22] <hi675445> then mint 13 comes out weeek later
[03:22] <N008573R> ActionParsnip, yeah It was funny too :-) Do you know anything similar?
[03:22] <JelloPop> ActionParsnip: want to know how the repository sees to pull a amd64 virtualbox-4.0
[03:22] <ActionParsnip> calebe: ask in #ubuntu+1
[03:22] <ActionParsnip> JelloPop: if you install from the repo, the app will match the arch of your OS
[03:22] <calebe> ok... thnks ActionParsnip
[03:22] <ActionParsnip> JelloPop: just like any other app you install
[03:23] <ActionParsnip> N008573R: there is the http://www.eeggs.com/items/47043.html one
[03:23] <argrubbs> Does anyone know what partitions require the most read speed on a hard disk? I have two hard disks, one is faster than the other, and I wanted to know which disk should hold which partition for the best read/write performance. Any ideas?
[03:24] <JelloPop> ActionParsnip: Srry been yrs since the last time I used virtualbox maybe it was vmware I had to match arch of the system.. Been while cant remember!
[03:24] <ActionParsnip> JelloPop: np man :D
[03:24] <jeroth> argrubbs, depends on what you plan to do. Are you planning on gaming?
[03:25] <argrubbs> jeroth, Nah, some video/audio editing and everyday use.
[03:25] <research4oscar> following the article instructions: http://www.techsupportalert.com/how-to-set-up-your-own-web-server.htm, i created a webuser on my ubuntu installation and assigned him as owner to a folder under var/www.
[03:25] <ActionParsnip> argrubbs: put your system partition on the fast one, put swap /home and /var on the slow one
[03:25] <research4oscar> however now i can't seem to connect using any ftp client.
[03:25] <grumpy_> hello can any one help with a ffmpeg issue
[03:26] <jeroth> argrubbs, if I were planning on doing video/audio editing I would want my storage partition to be on the faster drive.
[03:26] <research4oscar> a possible problem might be that the user only has rights to that folder.
[03:27] <Jordan_U> ziroday: Are you still there and needing more detailed instructions?
[03:27] <hi675445> remove systom 32 with luinex the see what happens then u can put it back lol
[03:28] <atnms> What is Ubuntu's killer app? what does Ubuntu have that would make the average user pick it over anything else?
[03:28] <argrubbs> Hmm, you both have interesting points on the disk layout. Should I make an additional partition on the faster drive for storing my video/audio projects then?
[03:28] <killown> any chance to install unity 5.8 on 11.10?
[03:28] <ActionParsnip> atnms: compiz seems to wow people
[03:28] <ActionParsnip> killown: there may be a ppa
[03:28] <Jordan_U> atnms: That's more of a question for #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:28] <ziroday> Jordan_U, hey I'm still here - I'm attempting the OSX instructions currently. I've created the drive but I am still getting Missing operating system errors
[03:28] <ghostconn> is there anything better then compiz
[03:28] <bbOOmm> Ok --- one more issue and I'm off to laa laa land with my pain meds ( my back is just killin me ) ... ... ...  I have a Seagate 1TB USB external drive. It works just fine with winDOHs boxes, but I just cannot get any of my Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS boxes to see the drive. Any ideas how to get the Ubuntu machines to see my USP external drive?
[03:28] <JelloPop> atnms: any linux version can install package compiz
[03:28] <atnms> actionParsnip: So wobbly windows is it?
[03:29] <killown> ActionParsnip do you know this ppa?
[03:29] <JelloPop> atnms: lol,, lmao
[03:29] <ActionParsnip> atnms: the free software to do most things that windows users pay for is probably a bit more impressive, as well as the ease with which they are installed
[03:29] <atnms> I'll switch to #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks.
[03:29] <ziroday> Jordan_U, installing from linux would be preferred
[03:29] <ghostconn> bb00mm, its more then likely a bios setting wrong
[03:29] <ActionParsnip> atnms: depends whom you are impressing, most eye candy freaks like all that compiz wobbly rubbish
[03:29] <ghostconn> check your hdd setting in you bios
[03:31] <Jordan_U> ziroday: Do you have 32 bit or 64 bit virmware? Did you use the 32 bit or 64 bit Ubuntu image?
[03:31] <Jordan_U> s/virmware/firmware/
[03:31] <mousek> hello
[03:31] <ziroday> Jordan_U, I'm using the 32bit ISO.
[03:32] <Jordan_U> ziroday: The 32 bit iso doesn't have any EFI image (and 32 bit EFI images would only work with 32 bit EFI firmware).
[03:32] <maujhsn> Has anybody seen this error message before? Makefile:33: *** missing separator.  Stop.
[03:33] <Jordan_U> ziroday: If you have a macbook that's not one of the very early models then it probably has 64 bit firmware, and so following the instructions with the 64 bit Ubuntu iso should work.
[03:33] <ziroday> Jordan_U, okay - so I need to download the 64bit image?
[03:33] <ziroday> Jordan_U, its a recent MPB
[03:33] <Jordan_U> ziroday: Yes.
[03:33] <ActionParsnip> maujhsn: what are you compiling?
[03:33] <ziroday> Jordan_U, how can I determine if it's 32 or 64bit?
[03:34] <ActionParsnip> ziroday: uname -m
[03:34] <ziroday> ActionParsnip, on OSX
[03:34] <ActionParsnip> ziroday: same
[03:34] <ziroday> gotcha
[03:34] <maujhsn> ActionParsnip /gimp-gap-2.6.0
[03:34] <Jordan_U> ziroday: That won't actually tell us if the *firmware* is 64 bit.
[03:34] <joubin> x86_64 means 64
[03:34] <Jordan_U> ActionParsnip: ^^
[03:34] <joubin> X86 means 32
[03:35] <ActionParsnip> Jordan_U: should say i686 ;) for 32bit
[03:35] <ziroday> Okay, running uname -a in OSX returns 64 bit
[03:35] <ActionParsnip> maujhsn: is there not a PPA for it?
[03:35] <ActionParsnip> maujhsn: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[03:35] <maujhsn> ActionParsnip  No
[03:36] <ActionParsnip> !info gimp-gap
[03:36] <joubin> !uname -s
[03:36] <ActionParsnip> maujhsn: its at 2.6 in the universe repo....
[03:36] <Jordan_U> ActionParsnip: We need to know if the EFI firmware is 32 bit or 64 bit. That usually correlates well with the capabilities of the CPU and the arch of the kernel used for OSX, but not always.

[03:37] <ActionParsnip> Jordan_U: I see, I don't buy mac stuff, my intelligence exceeds my wallet, not the other way around
[03:37] <ActionParsnip> maujhsn: its packaged and ready in the repo, why are you compiling?
[03:38] <Jordan_U> ziroday: It's a very safe bet that it's 64 bit firmware on a new mac.
[03:38] <xds594> this system does not support openGL      @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@      how  to do ???
[03:39] <bbOOmm> Hunh ... go figure....  2 of my USB ports on the front panel are dead, thats why I couldnt get my external drive to work... lol ... OK, off to pain killer induced laaa la land ..... Thanks all for the help tonight.
[03:40] <ActionParsnip> xds594: what video card do you use?
[03:40] <xds594> gt540m
[03:40] <ActionParsnip> xds594: run:  sudo apt-get install nvidia-current     and it will install the driver
[03:41] <ActionParsnip> maujhsn: its packaged and ready in the repo, why are you compiling?
[03:42] <xds594> ActionParsnip: OK  thanks  trying........
[03:42] <asmcoder83> exit
[03:42] <helpanoob> need to make a rp, in to a deb or can i install a rpm?
[03:43] <ActionParsnip> helpanoob: is there no deb available?
[03:43] <maujhsn> ActionParsnip I will have to send you a  http://pastebin.com/XHQn0NXZ
[03:43] <ziroday> Jordan_U, okay, have 64 bit image
[03:44] <ActionParsnip> maujhsn: doesnt answer my question
[03:44] <ActionParsnip> helpanoob: what are you wanting to install?
[03:45] <maujhsn> ActionParsnip 10.04 Ubuntu
[03:46] <helpanoob> trying to update my java as to maybe the issue I am having while trying to run a game (megamek)
[03:46] <xds594> ActionParsnip:You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver.  Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.
[03:49] <ActionParsnip> !info gimp-gap lucid
[03:49] <ActionParsnip> maujhsn: still at 2.6.0 in Lucid....
[03:49] <ActionParsnip> xds594: ok, run:  sudo nvidia-xconfig     and reboot
[03:50] <maujhsn> ActionParsnip I am looking
[03:50] <ActionParsnip> helpanoob: if you can give the output of: uname -m    I can advise
[03:50] <ssfdre38> how can i get the latest security updates on the ubuntu server edition and i want to force the update
[03:50] <ActionParsnip> maujhsn: always ALWAYS search software centre etc to see if the app is packaged, saves you time and effort
[03:50] <ActionParsnip> ssfdre38: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[03:51] <ssfdre38> ActionParsnip, im on the lastest ubuntu update i just did a fresh install on a virtual box i just want to force a kernel update from 3.0
[03:52] <helpanoob> MekWarsClient.jar but every time says cant create config file and then something about permissions
[03:52] <ssfdre38> nvm
[03:52] <ActionParsnip> ssfdre38: then you will need a ppa or to compile, using a kernel not intended for your release will alter your support in the official channels
[03:52] <ssfdre38> im talking of the offical updates
[03:53] <maujhsn> ActionParsnip  gimp-gap-2.6.0 Does not show up in universe
[03:53] <ActionParsnip> helpanoob: cd $HOME; wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/install32bitJava; chmod +x ./install32bitJava; sudo ./install32bitJava             if the command outputs: i686
[03:53] <ActionParsnip> ssfdre38: then you will need to change to a later release
[03:53] <ssfdre38> im at 11.10
[03:54] <ActionParsnip> maujhsn: sudo apt-get install gimp-gap      you don't add the version number. Just like yu don't run:  sudo apt-get install firefox-11.0   you just run:   sudo apt-get install firefox
[03:54] <ActionParsnip> !info linux-image-generic oneiric
[03:55] <ActionParsnip> ssfdre38: then you will have version <IP_ADDRESS> if you run the command I gave
[03:55] <maujhsn> ActionParsnip  Ok I will give it a shot!
[03:58] <noonday> hi
[03:59] <maujhsn> ActionParsnip Do I dpkg -rm the package that I installed first?
[03:59] <noonday> anyone know how to install sun java with plugin for Chromium in apt-get?
[03:59] <ActionParsnip> noonday: its not packaged due to license
[04:00] <ActionParsnip> noonday: its owned by oracle now, not sun
[04:00] <noonday> oh
[04:00] <noonday> thank you
[04:00] <ActionParsnip> noonday: if you can give the output of: uname -m   I can advise
[04:01] <aill> How to change just the  SECONDS of my current system time?
[04:03] <ActionParsnip> noonday: its a terminal command...
[04:05] <Jordan_U> ziroday: I'm still figuring out how best to accomplish this and it's unfortunately difficult for me since I don't have an EFI system on hand at the moment. If you need it done now, go with the instructions for OSX.
[04:08] <maujhsn> ActionParsnip  How do I remove the installed package? @ubuntu:~/gimp-gap/gimp-gap-2.6.0$
[04:09] <ActionParsnip> maujhsn: thats not a package, its a folder
[04:10] <maujhsn> ActionParsnip Do I remove it first before installing the repo version?
[04:11] <ActionParsnip> maujhsn: you never installed it, the compile failed so right now its just a folder of iles
[04:12] <ActionParsnip> *files
[04:15] <maujhsn> <ActionParsnip I have just installed gimp-gap Thanks for the help!
[04:16] <maujhsn> ActionParsnip I have just installed gimp-gap Thanks for the help!
[04:17] <ActionParsnip> maujhsn: np man, always check software centre etc first
[04:17] <maujhsn> ActionParsnip Now I just have to get rid of that folder!
[04:17] <ActionParsnip> maujhsn: just delete it like you would any other :)
[04:17] <maujhsn> OK
[04:18] <istinspring> wow.
[04:18] <istinspring> can't install Ubuntu 11.10 on HP Pavilion g6 =(
[04:18] <maujhsn> ActionParsnip I Just added you to my friends list! Take Care Bye!
[04:19] <istinspring> all solutions on internetst is around, set nomodeset, and install ATI drivers, but how can i do it without internet connection?
[04:20] <istinspring> kernel 3 suck
[04:21] <ActionParsnip> istinspring: try:  radeon.nomodeset=1
[04:22] <ActionParsnip> istinspring: or boot to root recovery mode and update there, may help
[04:22] <istinspring> well is stoped on "Checking battery state"
[04:23] <ActionParsnip> istinspring: is that when you boot to root recovery?
[04:23] <istinspring> i can't update, to update i should load OS and setup my internet connction.
[04:24] <istinspring> no, boot recovery loads fine
[04:25] <istinspring> also i tried 10.10 and it works while 11.10 does not. damn it. i hope this will be fixed on 12.04
[04:26] <ActionParsnip> istinspring: you can setup a connection in root recovery
[04:27] <afkal> #ubuntu-es
[04:27] <sykan> I installed ubuntu 11.10 and want to remove unity and install gnome. i've installed gnome-panel how do i get it as my default shell?
[04:27] <afkal> hola
[04:27] <afkal> ?
[04:28] <ActionParsnip> sykan: you have gnome installed, unity is a shell for gnome

[04:28] <ActionParsnip> sergiu: what is dota?
[04:29] <Geodesical> I am looking to buy a laptop and graphics tablet, what would be a laptop (with ubuntu) and a graphics tablet (preferrably Wacom) tht are compatible with one another?
[04:29] <sykan> ActionParsnip: thanks
[04:29] <ActionParsnip> Geodesical: system76
[04:29] <Geodesical> ?
[04:29] <ActionParsnip> sykan: if you are using unity, you are using gnome DE
[04:30] <whh> anybody know how to install dpkg on fedora 8?
[04:30] <afkal> alguien habla español?
[04:30] <Geodesical> ActionParsnip: What do you mean by system76?
[04:30] <ActionParsnip> whh: fedora isnt supported here
[04:30] <ActionParsnip> Geodesical: its a system manufacturer
[04:31] <ActionParsnip> Geodesical: a simple websearch would have shown you that, and faster than asking me
[04:32] <istinspring> ActionParsnip even mobile? well, don't know why it's not possible to load even in simple vga mode or something.
[04:32] <skraps> anyone used dbmail?
[04:33] <Nosophorus> hi
[04:33] <Nosophorus> i'm having a problem
[04:33] <Nosophorus> with opera on lucid
[04:33] <ActionParsnip> istinspring: sure, its just not as simple. I'd suggest setting up a wired connection and updating etc, then try booting to the desktop
[04:33] <Nosophorus> the fonts render differently from previous versions
[04:33] <ActionParsnip> Nosophorus: whats the issue?
[04:33] <Nosophorus> how could i fix that?
[04:34] <ActionParsnip> Nosophorus: did you set the font rendering to medium / full in the desktop setting?
[04:34] <Nosophorus> ActionParsnip: i set it on the default mode
[04:34] <Nosophorus> but let me see how they are
[04:35] <Nosophorus> well, it reads subpixel smoothing
[04:35] <Nosophorus> well, it reads subpixel smoothing LCDs
[04:35] <J-Escobar> I just cloned a 300gb Ubuntu HD to a 2tb HD using clonezilla. When I boot up using the cloned 2tb drive it works fine. But it only sees it as a 300gb drive. I am trying to use gparted to resize it to the full 2tb, but it isn't letting me. Anyone have any ideas?
[04:36] <Nosophorus> the opera version i'm using right now is 11.01
[04:36] <ActionParsnip> Nosophorus: i'd ask in the opera channel, they may know stuff too. I'll have a websearch
[04:36] <Nosophorus> ActionParsnip: i'll see there too
[04:37] <Fyodorovna> J-Escobar, use a live cd and turn off the swap.
[04:37] <ActionParsnip> Nosophorus: To do so, hit Alt-P in Opera, click the "Advanced" tab and then select the "Fonts" item on the left-hand side. For each GUI element, you can select a new type face
[04:37] <ActionParsnip> Nosophorus: anything there (source: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser)
[04:38] <ActionParsnip> Nosophorus: Additionally, fonts in Opera look different from in regular Gnome applications. If you use Gnome, fonts in Opera may be fuzzy. This is because Qt, Opera's backend technology
[04:38] <ActionParsnip> Nosophorus: run:   gedit ~/.fonts.conf        and add the snippet in the link I gave
[04:38] <ActionParsnip> Nosophorus: have you not seen any of this?
[04:39] <Nosophorus> ActionParsnip: thanks! the problem with fonts is that they render OK, but they look different from the ubuntu default fonts
[04:39] <Nosophorus> ActionParsnip: no, i haven't
[04:39] <J-Escobar> Fyodorovna: What live CD should I use?
[04:39] <Nosophorus> but i'll try it now
[04:39] <ActionParsnip> Nosophorus: I'm literally copying and pasting from the opera ubuntu documentation (the link I gave). Its the FIRST thing you should have headed for
[04:39] <ActionParsnip> Nosophorus: so what have you tried, in order to fix it?
[04:40] <Nosophorus> ActionParsnip: i tried to modify opera fonts via Preferences menu, but to no avail
[04:41] <Fyodorovna> J-Escobar, use a ubuntu or one with gparted, the latter you can download it self small iso.
[04:41] <Nosophorus> ActionParsnip:  see this
[04:42] <Nosophorus> ActionParsnip: Fonts on Opera 11.01: http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/566/opera1101.png
[04:42] <Nosophorus> ActionParsnip: Fonts on Opera 11.50: http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/2286/opera1150.png
[04:42] <ActionParsnip> Nosophorus: looks ok to me
[04:42] <Nosophorus> ActionParsnip: the same issue of 11.50 persists on opera later versions
[04:42] <J-Escobar> Fyodorovna: I have been having a problem booting up from live CDs. I am currently booted up on a separate HD running 10.04 and have the 2tb drive as a slave. But gparted will not let me modify the partition.
[04:43] <Nosophorus> ActionParsnip: But the fonts look different from each other
[04:43] <ActionParsnip> !away > herbmonk
[04:43] <ActionParsnip> !away > hermy|away
[04:43] <Fyodorovna> J-Escobar, is the swap on in that HD?
[04:44] <Nosophorus> ActionParsnip: in opera 11.01, fonts are the same as the ubuntu default fonts
[04:44] <ActionParsnip> Nosophorus: I'm coming to the end of a 12 hour nightshift, my eyes are tired so I can't really say much. Looks fine here
[04:44] <Nosophorus> ActionParsnip: but that's not the case when it comes to later versions of opera
[04:44] <J-Escobar> Fyodorovna: I think so. I have an option to turn it off i think
[04:44] <ActionParsnip> Nosophorus: try the stuff in the link I gave
[04:44] <Nosophorus> ActionParsnip: Oh, I see. Sorry
[04:45] <Fyodorovna> J-Escobar, needs to be off just right click it=swap off
[04:45] <Nosophorus> ActionParsnip: Thank you very much for your attention and patience. I'll check your links out!
[04:47] <J-Escobar> Fyodorovna: Ok swap is off now. What next? when i click the main part ion in gparted it still does not give me a resize option
[04:47] <J-Escobar> Fyodorovna: Partition*
[04:48] <Fyodorovna> J-Escobar, itake a screenshot of the drive and imagebin it.
[04:48] <Arduno> Hi
[04:48] <magiknapkin> Hi.
[04:48] <Arduno> How are you?
[04:48] <magiknapkin> I'm alright, how are you?
[04:49] <Arduno> perfectly fine
[04:49] <magiknapkin> Good to hear.
[04:49] <magiknapkin> I'm new to Ubuntu. I just found out I could get on IRC with the empathy messaging client.
[04:50] <Arduno> same here ;)
[04:50] <Fyodorovna> J-Escobar, So the HD you want to resize must not be mounted as well.
[04:51] <rocuronium> Welcome to Ubuntu! :)
[04:52] <magiknapkin> Why thank you!
[04:52] <J-Escobar> Fyodorovna: http://i.imgur.com/5hLnI.png
[04:52] <sta7ic> Hey guys, I am messing around with recompiling my kernel, and I use luks, but getting "VFS cannot open root device device mapper crypt or unknown block" any ideas?
[04:53] <rocuronium> What made you make the switch?
[04:53] <Fyodorovna> J-Escobar, So you trying to shrink it?
[04:54] <Fyodorovna> sdc1 that is
[04:54] <J-Escobar> Fyodorovna: No I am trying to enlarge the 300GB to the full 2tb drive. it says it is mounted but when i choose unmount it gives me an error saying i need to unmount it manually .
[04:55] <sacarlson> sta7ic: I've used luks before but didn't require a kernel recompile
[04:56] <J-Escobar> Fyodorovna: http://i.imgur.com/fzdL5.png
[04:56] <Jordan_U> J-Escobar: Can you pastebin the output of "mount"?
[04:57] <micogeek> xxx
[04:57] <Fyodorovna> J-Escobar, you have the partition mounted, and no space to move it to. Unmount with the disk utility with gparted closed. Resize the the sdc3 partition, then just delete the swap, expand the sdc1 into the free space leaving room for a new swap.
[04:58] <dj_segfault> Hi.  I'm having trouble mounting a hard drive at boot time that mounts fine after boot.  Please see my notes at http://wiki.thekramers.net/Main/JanusHardDriveProblem
[04:59] <J-Escobar> Fyodorovna: disk utility shows it unmounted. Should I proceed with deleting the swap?
[04:59] <Jordan_U> J-Escobar: Please pastebin the output of "mount".
[05:00] <J-Escobar> Jordan_U: Kind of new to this. How would I do that?
[05:01] <Jordan_U> J-Escobar: Open a terminal, type "mount", hit enter,  then use http://pastebin.ubuntu.com to give us a link to the ouptput.
[05:02] <Fyodorovna> J-Escobar, Sure the swap is also contained in a extended which you would remove for now as well just put both in to have a extended option if needed.
[05:02] <J-Escobar> Jordan_U: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/900018/
[05:04] <Jordan_U> J-Escobar: You're currently booted from the drive you're trying to resize. You need to boot into another system (like a LiveCD) first.
[05:05] <ghostconn> OMG! kubuntu 12:04 is by far the best OS !!!
[05:05] <ghostconn> i will never return to ubuntu
[05:06] <helegel> ghostconn, why?
[05:06] <ActionParsnip> ghostconn: its not supported here til release, you can get support and iscuss it in #ubuntu+1 ;)
[05:06] <ActionParsnip> ghostconn: its not bad though :)
[05:06] <J-Escobar> Jordan_U: from what disk utility shows me I am not booted into the drive i am trying to resize. drive sec shows unmounted and drive sdb shows mounted, which is running 10.04
[05:06] <JoeR1> Hello ActionParsnip long time no see
[05:06] <JoeR1> but I should stay on topic
[05:06] <J-Escobar> Jordan_U: sdc not sec*
[05:07] <JoeR1> I am having trouble with my newly acquired printer/scanner/copier - the printing works but I cannot get the scanning to work right
[05:07] <k1ng> i am trying to install a adobe tool on ubuntu
[05:08] <Jordan_U> J-Escobar: According to the ouptput from mount, /dev/sdc1 (the first partition on the drive sdc) is mounted to '/', which basically means that it's the partition you booted from. If you're trying to resize partitions on sdc, then you really need to boot from another drive.
[05:08] <k1ng> when i call the program its says  No such file or directory
[05:08] <k1ng> i have chmod +x it
[05:09] <ghostconn> customization,UI,themes,managing you're desktop,system benchmarks,boot time,software centre loads in like a second lol, the feel,the flow ... if you manover you're mouse to the top left you are brought to a beautiful application switcher
[05:09] <k1ng> anyone?
[05:10] <J-Escobar> Jordan_U: That makes sense. but for some reason my mobo will not boot any live cd with the drive configuration i have. i have read it has something to do with SATA dvd drives, but i am using IDE dvd drives. I had to clone this from a friends PC. So I guess I will have to wait until tomorrow and boot up using gparted live from his computer to resize it.
[05:10] <k1ng> i am trying to install a adobe tool on ubuntu. when i call the program its says  No such file or directory. i have chmod +x it
[05:10] <k1ng> root@ip-10-130-163-107:/home/ubuntu# chmod +x /usr/local/bin/flvcheck
[05:10] <k1ng> root@ip-10-130-163-107:/home/ubuntu# /usr/local/bin/flvcheck
[05:10] <Jordan_U> J-Escobar: What happens when you try to boot an Ubuntu LiveCD?
[05:12] <ActionParsnip> k1ng: you will need to pass it a parameter of a file, surely...
[05:12] <J-Escobar> Jordan_U: I get "Unable to find a medium containing a live file system" error
[05:12] <ActionParsnip> J-Escobar: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[05:12] <k1ng> never mind
[05:12] <k1ng> http://ircanswers.com/ubuntu/431363/usrlocalbin-usrlocalbin-usrbinflvcheck-usrbinflvcheck-directory
[05:12] <k1ng> solved my problem
[05:13] <J-Escobar> ActionParsnip: Yes. that error is given on every live disk. gparted live, clonezilla live, and every ubuntu live disk i have tried.
[05:13] <Jordan_U> J-Escobar: Did you only do this clone so that you could install Ubuntu?
[05:13] <wylde> J-Escobar: have you tried making a usb thumbdrive?
[05:13] <CFHowlett> J-Escobar   try a usb...
[05:14] <J-Escobar> Jordan_U: No, i had Ubuntu installed already. I am just trying to clone it to a bigger HD.
[05:14] <J-Escobar> I haven't tried a USB yet.
[05:15] <Jordan_U> J-Escobar: You should definitely try booting from USB, it sounds like your CDROM drive simply isn't supported by Linux for some reason.
[05:15] <Mish-> Has anyone had any "gotchas" trying to get VLANs working over a bonded interface on Ubuntu 11.10?
[05:15] <J-Escobar> Jordan_U: possibly. but i used the same carom drive to do the initial install.
[05:16] <wylde> J-Escobar: sounds like something is misconfigured then.
[05:17] <J-Escobar> wylde: yeah i figured that too. but i have tried every possible configuration i could think of. nothing has worked.
[05:17] <wylde> J-Escobar: well a usb should work at any rate
[05:18] <J-Escobar> wylde: ok so I have it cloned already and bootable. should i just get gparted on a USB and boot from that?
[05:18] <wylde> J-Escobar: probably some bios setting hidden under 3 layers of menus with an obscure name lol
[05:19] <wylde> J-Escobar: you have access to another computer that can boot the live cd? .... actually, that *might* work
[05:20] <J-Escobar> wylde: I do not have another computer here that will work. This is my only PC and using OS X on everything else.
[05:22] <wylde> J-Escobar: hmm..does unetbootin work on OSX? ... I wonder
[05:22] <JoeR1> So is there anyone that can help me with my scanner or is there a support channel dedicated to that?
[05:22] <CFHowlett> wylde   unetbootin works in osx
[05:23] <wylde> CFHowlett: good to know, thank you. J-Escobar get yourself a copy of unetbootin and you can use that to make a bootable usb
[05:24] <J-Escobar> wylde: i downloaded it. what program should i make bootable? i do not see gparted
[05:25] <wylde> J-Escobar: gparted is a tool not an os
[05:25] <wylde> J-Escobar: there should be ubuntu in the list of options.
[05:25] <J-Escobar> wylde: ok, i can boot my hd. i just need to resize it to the full 2tb. what would you use?
[05:26] <wylde> J-Escobar: make a bootable usb with unetbootin.... choose ubuntu then you will have to boot from the usb to be able to resize the partition on your hard drive
[05:27] <wylde> J-Escobar: you can NOT resize a filesystem you are using. If you boot from your hard drive then you are using it's filesystem....do you understand that?
[05:28] <J-Escobar> wylde: i do yes. but i have 2 hard drives with 10.04. and from what i am seeing i do not have the hd mounted that i am wanting to resize. i will try a usb to make sure.
[05:29] <wylde> J-Escobar: so...that said. You need to make a bootable usb to use to access your hard drive to resize the partiton
[05:30] <wylde> J-Escobar: that would be best, then we know for sure you are not on the partition you want to resize
[05:33] <J-Escobar> wylde: ok, i am trying that now.

[05:47] <`Korvin> hey, my touchpad stopped working
[05:47] <ActionParsnip> ansi: nothing too obvious, let me search

[05:48] <`Korvin> does anyone know what those were?

[05:50] <abhatnag> Banshee is up to 2.4 in the wild now, and there is a possibility a new API restricts 2.2.1; just looking to confirm that

[05:52] <`Korvin> thanks ansi and ActionParsnip respectively

[06:17] <yakeb> hi all, i'm on 11.10 and did a recent kernel upgrade to 3.0.0-16 and it seems to have broken pulseaudio and pulseaudio-equalizer. it doesn't work now when booting into any kernel, is there an easy way to reinstall without having to make a bunch of new configuration files?
[06:18] <dooma09> can anyone help with network issue connecting to internet...
[06:18] <yakeb> that is, reinstall pulseaudio and pulseaudio-equalizer, not the entire operating system.
[06:18] <Jordan_U> yakeb: Configuration files are often what make the difference between working and not.
[06:19] <Jordan_U> yakeb: You might try giving a detailed explanation of the specific problem you're having in #pulseaudio.
[06:20] <yakeb> oh, i didn't realize there was a pulseaudio forum. thanks for the info.
[06:21] <curiousx> ansi: verifi if you can install programs from the repositories
[06:21] <Jordan_U> yakeb: You're welcome. No problem asking here, but you're probably more likely to get an answer there :)
[06:21] <curiousx> i will be ignored ones again =(
[06:21] <curiousx> xD
[06:21] <yakeb> i'll give that a try.

[07:10] <Palatinus> I wondering in terms video cards like a 550 GTI how driver support is and the same for newer game support or what kind of hurdles i am going to have to jump through to move to a Linux based system
[07:11] <Palatinus> sorry I mean a 550 Ti
[07:12] <JKid> Research on the internet what is compatible with what your motherboard requirements are and the physical build is identical to a win based system
[07:12] <CFHowlett> Palatinus   hardware depends first on the OEM support.  Failing that, the open source community may or may not have a fully realized driver for your specific card.  So far as games, the wine project enables many windows based games to run on linux
[07:12] <Palatinus> Geforce gtx 550 Ti
[07:12] <waxstone> John
[07:12] <llutz_> !appdb  |Palatinus if you want to run win-apps under linux you should check this first.

[07:13] <wylde> seven1: comments like that are not welcome here.
[07:14] <seven1> is this a church?
[07:14] <CFHowlett> seven1   no it's a community - please respect that.
[07:14] <llutz_> seven1: its not a kindergarte

[07:15] <CFHowlett> !ops|jkid
[07:15] <wylde> JKid: no, it's not.
[07:15] <JermBob> anyway
[07:15] <Jordan_U> JKid: No, it is not. And this is not up for discussion.
[07:15] <JermBob> is there a way i can remote desktop a freshly installed ubuntu ?
[07:16] <JermBob> i just dont want to have to install a screen
[07:16] <JermBob> its ok if not
[07:16] <JermBob> ill stop being lazy and move the screen
[07:16] <JKid> He was just expressing his opinion
[07:16] <CFHowlett> JermBob   vinagre might do it
[07:17] <wylde> JKid: there are amny ways to do so without derogatory comments included, I suggest you let the matter drop. Just sayin....
[07:17] <Jordan_U> JKid: Homphobic slurs are not acceptible here, please stop this discussion now and stick to the channel topic. Last warning.
[07:17] <chalcedony> CFHowlett, that error says the pdf is missing parts.
[07:17] <JermBob> CFHowlett is that default in ubuntu ?
[07:18] <chalcedony> CFHowlett, how does a pdf lose pieces and is there a way to restore it?
[07:18] <JKid> I agree but youre jumping to conclusions labeling someone homophobic
[07:18] <CFHowlett> chalcedony   wait 1
[07:18] <chalcedony> sure
[07:18] <rogst> JermBob: there is a built-in vnc server in ubuntu called vino, but you need to be logged in on the console for it to start, but you can install other vnc servers start start on boot
[07:18] <CFHowlett> jermbob  a bit of work to pull off but yes
[07:18] <istiaque> Can any body PLz give me  List of Windows software and the Linux equivalents and alternatives?
[07:19] <waxstone> istiaque, http://www.linuxalt.com/
[07:19] <istiaque> wastone thank u
[07:19] <CFHowlett> rogst   I've got vinagre not vino in 10.04.  Same thing renamed?
[07:20] <waxstone> istiaque, you're welcome
[07:20] <rogst> CFHowlett: the client is called vinagre, the server vino
[07:20] <skramer_> istiaque: You could check http://www.linuxalt.com/
[07:20] <CFHowlett> rogst   thank you.
[07:21] <JermBob> thanks
[07:21] <rogst> JermBob: you can che k out this guide if you want http://wiki.steneteg.org/index.php/VNC_Server_at_boot
[07:21] <JermBob> thanks
[07:26] <goddard> my toolbar icons don't show up
[07:29] <rogst> goddard: what toolbars?
[07:31] <Palatinus> CFHowlett: according to that moving to a linux based OS would not eb the greatest of moves on my part if I am reading it right. My only other question is do you consider Linux based OS to be user friendly as I would only be starting to move into one now.
[07:32] <CFHowlett> Palatinus   suggestion first: Install virtualbox in windows.  Install ubuntu in virtualbox.  Then you can test ubuntu in complete safety.
[07:33] <CFHowlett> My opinion?  My laptop has ubuntu, Snow Leopard and Win7.  About 90% of the time, I'm running ubuntu.  Free, fast, flexible, does what I want, yada yada yada.  (My $0.02)
[07:34] <JKid> I second that... Once youre comfortable with it just do a dual install
[07:34] <Palatinus> Well thank you very much for the information
[07:34] <JKid> Ubuntu here too.. My friends like redhat
[07:34] <CFHowlett> Palatinus   best of luck.
[07:35] <curiousx> Yeah!!! CFHowlett rules =)  Hellll yeah
[07:36]  * CFHowlett *blushes*
[07:40] <curiousx> well... cya all, cya CFHowlett
[07:41] <CFHowlett> curiousx peace out
[07:46] <kaushal> Hi
[07:47] <CFHowlett> kaushal   greetings
[07:47] <kaushal> is there a way to run time ssh servera /bin/false && time ssh serverb /bin/false on the same gnome-terminal of my desktop similar to sdiff command ?
[07:47] <kaushal> CFHowlett: hi
[07:49] <kaushal> CFHowlett: Any clue ?
[07:50] <JermBob> when i connect to my machine through vnc
[07:50] <JermBob> can i change the default resolution it sends in ?
[07:50] <CFHowlett> kaushal   considering that I understood only every 4th word, I'm not the one to ask.  Sorry.
[07:51] <kaushal> CFHowlett: Do you want me to explain it again ?
[07:51] <JelloPop> celthunder: hey thanks for showing me xmonad.. works great :P
[07:52] <bluefrog> kaushal, use byobu, separate the terminal in 2 and fire up ssh in both sections.
[07:52] <dalek_> I am trying to make a USB flash drive startup disk. The start up disk maker seems to have hung. I see a window titled "installing" and the body of the window is completely blank. Has it failed?
[07:52] <kaushal> bluefrog: ok
[07:53] <CFHowlett> dalek_   look for hidden windows - you need to sudo authorize a couple of things
[07:53] <JelloPop> celthunder: Xmonad Rocks !
[07:54] <dalek_> CFHowlett, There are no hiding windows anywhere. The start up disk creator app GUI prompted for authorization several times before it apparently hung.
[07:55] <CFHowlett> dalek_   quick thought, install unetbootin and create it there.
[07:56] <almoxarife> dalek_: and you authorized correctly?
[07:56] <kaushal> bluefrog: i have installed byobu
[07:57] <kaushal> not sure i understand the remaining bit
[07:57] <kaushal> separate the terminal in 2 and fire up ssh in both sections.
[07:57] <amarcolino> hi, im having an issue with ubuntu 11.10 and lvm, on every restart it outputs that it can't find my partitions and I have to manually mount them with vgchange -a y. It seems lvm isn't being made active on each boot, anyone knows how to solve this?
[07:57] <dalek_> CFHowlett, almoxarife yes. I have now gone to system monitor and killed the startup disk creator process. Pulled the USB stick out and it seems to be working fine in the new computer... so I guess it worked before it hung.
[07:58] <CFHowlett> dalek_   ubuntu magic app ...
[07:59] <bubusan> v
[07:59] <tr0n> http://paste.ubuntu.com/900108/
[07:59] <L3top_> Where does Ubuntu store available package data/
[08:00] <L3top_> when you apt-get update... those candidates are stored someplace
[08:00] <tr0n> i had to reboot during update now i cant install anything
[08:00] <DannyButterman> Hi There, how do I reinstall ATI drivers ? for a radeon 6760 on ubuntu 10.04 ?
[08:00] <Myrtti> tr0n: use sudo
[08:00] <tr0n> i did
[08:00] <tr0n> n/m
[08:01] <L3top_> DannyButterman: are you trying to install the radeon driver or the fglrx?
[08:01] <almoxarife> tr0n: you didn't in the pastebin
[08:01] <tr0n> i did and it works, thanks
[08:02] <DannyButterman> L3_Top: I did 'apt-get install fglrx' which led to installing two fglrx component (fglrx-amdccle and another fglrx something)
[08:03] <DannyButterman> L3top: I did 'apt-get install fglrx' which led to installing two fglrx component (fglrx-amdccle and another fglrx something)
[08:03] <DannyButterman> L3top_:I did 'apt-get install fglrx' which led to installing two fglrx component (fglrx-amdccle and another fglrx something)
[08:03] <L3top_> and I assume on reboot you did not get the expected result?
[08:03] <DannyButterman> yes indeed :s
[08:03] <L3top_> You dont have to repeat your replies... I am reading.
[08:03] <dalek_> when you click "try Ubuntu" while booted up from a USB flash drive, how long should you wait before considering the computer as being hung? The little circle with the rotating dots has been going for 6 minutes so far, and the screen has not changed at all.
[08:04] <almoxarife> dalek_: six minutes is along time, too long, something is not right
[08:05] <L3top_> What specifically happened? And can you give me the output of lspci |grep VGA
[08:05] <dalek_> almoxarife, ok thanks. Maybe the startup disk creator failed after all. Trying again now.]
[08:07] <DannyButterman> L3top_: sorry for repeating, as I've mistyped your nickname. It just happened that there were ubuntu updates to apply, and my user did just that
[08:08] <DannyButterman>  L3top_: among those updates was a one for the graphic display (the embedded ATI GPU)
[08:09] <amarcolino> hi anyone care to help m solve a bug or point me into the right direction?
[08:09] <L3top_> So is it working now DannyButterman?
[08:09] <DannyButterman> L3top_: Not better...
[08:09] <L3top_> What specifically happened? And can you give me the output of lspci |grep VGA
[08:11] <almoxarife> amarcolino: what's broke?
[08:11] <DannyButterman> L3top_: I can't specifically, as my luser told me he just applied the updates, and upon reboot, he wasn't in accelerated graphic mode anymore
[08:12] <L3top_> I don't require graphics anything. I need someone to hit a terminal
[08:12] <coderhs> hey is it possible to get the documentation of the software we install offline
[08:12] <coderhs> in ubuntu
[08:12] <L3top_> ctrl alt f2
[08:12] <L3top_> lspci | grep VGA
[08:13] <coderhs> how to get and view the offline version on various software and library documentation in ubuntu
[08:14] <amarcolino> almoxarife, clean installs of 11.10 , two hard drives, partition split - /boot, /swap, the rest on lvm, however after login in and updating the system I get busybox 'the disk drive for /home (which is lvm) is not ready yet or not present. Now I can press M and do either vgchange -a y or lvchange -ay and continue with boot but I would prefer not to do that on every reboot, you think you can help?
[08:15] <amarcolino> sorry for the long post
[08:15] <DannyButterman> L3top_: I know, sorry for the delay, I have to deal with two pcs in order to give this information : 00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Device 9647
[08:15] <DannyButterman> L3top_: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Device 6760
[08:16] <L3top_> So you have an onboard and a card.
[08:16] <Mashr000m> hello do smb know how to tern autocomplete on after the first character typed on bash?
[08:16] <L3top_> You likely need to disable the onboard in the bios and apt-get install --reinstall fglrx
[08:17] <[[thufir]]> screenshot:  http://picpaste.com/pics/Screenshot_at_2012-03-26_00_50_35.1332749229.png   why do I suddenly have two menus?  generally when maximized, there's just the one menu, it gets integrated.  now there's less screen space.  oneric
[08:18] <DannyButterman> L3top_: which is very strange because this is a laptop, with no addon card like an extra graphic card.
[08:18] <kapz> Hi I want to develop a program on GTK through a professional freelance coder...any idea where I might find them? Thanks
[08:18] <L3top_> Well... that is very strange...
[08:18] <[Si]> DannyButterman it's quite common now in Laptops, 1 high power GPU and the integrated chipset one for long battery life.
[08:19] <rogst> Mashr000m: check if the package bash-completion is installed
[08:20] <Mashr000m> rogst, ok i'll try
[08:20] <L3top_> Did not know that [Si] thanks
[08:20] <karamba> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgXJbJeRxHo give me a definition about this!
[08:22] <karamba> !ops |  help me i got a problem
[08:22] <Mashr000m>  rogst it's installed
[08:22] <tMH> hello *
[08:23] <tMH> please tell me, how to view .man file via troff?
[08:23] <rogst> Mashr000m: then you need to make sure its loaded in you shell, check out http://wiki.steneteg.org/index.php/Bash_completion
[08:23] <amarcolino> almoxarife, you there?
[08:24] <tMH> I have man pages installed on wide system but they're outdated a bit, and I have coreutils latest version installed in my ~, and I want to read man pages for 'my' version of those utils, not systems' one.
[08:25] <llutz_> tMH: man -l file
[08:25] <tMH> llutz_ - ok, lemme try:)
[08:27] <tMH> llutz_ - no luck, it seems man binary is outdated also - it doesn't have such "-l" switch..
[08:27] <doda1> hi folks
[08:28] <spectrall> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgXJbJeRxHo give da def
[08:28] <chatter2> Hi, using 10.04 on virtualbox. Starting with notext option, but the graphic console is slow , how do I turn off graphic console?
[08:28] <amarcolino> can someone explain to me where would I put a script that evokes lvm command to run into the boot process as described in this link, http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-server-73/logical-volumes-not-available-on-reboot-724093/, post #4 & #6. Would this be advisable?
[08:28] <doda1> i have an ubuntu 12.04 install running with proprietary nvidia drivers and during bootup and in virtual console i get frequency out of range from my monitor
[08:29] <llutz_> tMH: time to update then, works here(tm)
[08:29] <doda1> had this issue on older ubuntu's too
[08:29] <jlebrech> how can I tell that start-stop-daemon works?
[08:29] <llutz_> doda1: #ubuntu+1 for 12.04
[08:29] <[Si]> L3top_ I don't know what the ATI/AMD version is called but the Nivdia one is called Optimus. (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee)
[08:30] <doda1> yeah, but i had that problem on older ubuntu's too
[08:31] <L3top_> doda1: it sounds like your monitor wants a weird hz or has a low limit on resolution.
[08:32] <doda1> well nope, the thing is X works just fine, other distros do too
[08:32] <cliff_> Are crontab entries immediate?  As in, when i add one, does it automatically start working, or do i have to restart or something?
[08:33] <llutz_> cliff_: no need t restart
[08:33] <llutz_> to*
[08:33] <cliff_> that's what i thought
[08:33] <doda1> i chainload ubuntu's grub from another distro, and then i get a out of range error
[08:34] <doda1> when X starts everything is fine but tty's don't work
[08:36] <Mashr000m> rogst, i should obviosly edit file /etc/bash_completion ?
[08:37] <rogst> Mashr000m: no, that file needs to be loaded in you shell session, you should not need to edit that file
[08:39] <tMH> llutz_ - =(
[08:39] <tMH> =) even
[08:39] <tMH> ok, I'll try to update man-db to the latest.
[08:42] <ehsan> Hi if I want to clone an already installed ubuntu can I not just copy the filesystem using a filemanager and then point fstab and grub to the new position of the filesystem
[08:42] <ehsan> ?
[08:43] <yczbfx> ?
[08:43] <Mashr000m> rogst, sorry for bodering you but i want BASH works like it does on backtrack by default
[08:44] <yczbfx> list
[08:44] <rogst> Mashr000m: how does it work on backtrack?
[08:45] <yczbfx> exit
[08:46] <Mashr000m> rogst, it does autocomplete after you first time press TAB not too times
[08:46] <Mashr000m> rogst, i mean 2 times
[08:46] <DannyButterman> L3top_: I've looked into the BIOS, and saw nothing about a second GPU. There's just one line "Switchable graphics" which I've disabled, but things got only worse then (stragne artefacts on screen etc)
[08:47] <DannyButterman> L3top_: there's a question mark next to this line, which states upon clicking that this option is for Enable disable discrete graphics
[08:48] <[Si]> DannyButterman, maybe this will help? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics
[08:53] <ehsan> Hello
[08:54] <ServerSage> Hi
[08:58] <chatter2> I'm booting with 'text' option, I want to turn off graphic like console mode it's slow on virtualbox. How do I do that?
[09:03] <ServerSage> chatter2: I believe the nomodeset kernel option *may* be what you are after.
[09:13] <chatter2> ServerSage: it's the fb console, I can't get rid of it, none of these work on kernel cmdline: nomodeset, vga=normal, nofb,
[09:15] <ckasmadi> hai avery one
[09:17] <ServerSage> chatter2: Odd, nomodeset is supposed to disable the frambuffer.  You could try blacklisting your video driver to see if that works.
[09:18] <Jordan_U> charline: GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD=text in /etc/default/grub
[09:21] <chatter2> btw, I cannot get grub menu at start. I changed all _TIMEOUTs in /etc/default/grub to 10, run update-grub, what am I missing?
[09:23] <benbro> when I'm trying ./configure it says there is no file or directory (https://github.com/kanaka/libvncserver) do I need to install something?
[09:24] <Jordan_U> benbro: What are you actually trying to install?
[09:25] <benbro> Jordan_U: libvncserver with the novnc client support. the deb package doesn't have the client
[09:25] <MojZ> hi
[09:26] <benbro> Jordan_U: this is the repo. https://github.com/kanaka/libvncserver. I also tried ./autogen.sh but it says autoconf is missing. I do have build-essentials installed
[09:27] <MojZ> how can i enable my server's remote desktop via command line? (I connect to the server via SSH). i need to connect to the server by VNC.
[09:28] <shinazzo> hello
[09:29] <Jordan_U> benbro: Are you trying to write your own VNC viewer using that library?
[09:30] <benbro> Jordan_U: I'm trying to use the server with the novnc javascript client
[09:30] <box> hello. i was using empathy and i right clicked a contact and clicked information. it said i needed gnome-contacts and selected to install. it failed. everytime i switch my computer on i get this warning icon
[09:30] <benbro> Jordan_U: I've installed the autoconf package and now ./autogen.sh works
[09:30] <Jordan_U> benbro: Why not use one of the many packaged VNC servers?
[09:30] <box> it says an error occured, please run package manager. this is what i get http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/900172/ - how do i do this?
[09:32] <benbro> Jordan_U: why not drink coffee instead of using vnc?
[09:32] <benbro> Jordan_U: why not go to the beach?
[09:32] <benbro> Jordan_U: because I'm trying to do something else. thanks anyway :)
[09:33] <Jordan_U> benbro: Because #ubuntu doesn't provide support for drinking coffee, going to the beach, or using programs not in the supported repositories :)
[09:33] <Jordan_U> box: Have you tried "sudo apt-get -f install"?
[09:34] <theTroy> Hi, how do I stop ubuntu 11.10 from spinning down the hard drives when on battery? The option is gone from the settings menus.
[09:39] <box> Jordan_U yes - it told me to do that. I had to remove gnome-contacts and then re-do it
[09:39] <box> I'm not sure why it became broken in the first place
[09:39] <box> It's working now
[09:54] <Jemt> Hi. I often copy and replace a folder using Nautilus. Unfortunately I have to confirm "Merge" for all folders and "Replace" for all files - it's ridicules, and one of the reasons why I don't like Windows. I just want to confirm it once - is that possible ?
[09:54] <sacarlson> how do you install the real adobe acrobat reader?
[09:58] <sdschmid> ls
[09:58] <bubusan> ciao
[10:00] <shomon> hi, I have a usb drive which won't mount. How do I diagnose it? I've done an lsusb and it comes up, but I'd like to just reformat it if possible? I'm on ubuntu 11.04
[10:00] <sacarlson> never mind I think I found something that might work the bin file failed http://get.adobe.com/reader/completion/?installer=Reader_9.4.7_English_for_Linux_%28.deb%29
[10:02] <erinaceus> Hi, im having trouble mounting my cd, i've tried the default mount -t iso9660 -o loop /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom. but it tells me the fs is wrong
[10:02] <mahdy> i want to change my timezone to UTC-10:30 , but there isnt any real location in the world that have this time zone and i cant find this time zone in etc category when reconfiguring tzdata , how can i add my custom timezone ?
[10:03] <Jemt> Never mind, changed to mc instead of Nautilus.
[10:03] <[Si]> erinaceus you don't need -o loop if it's a real cd device that's for mounting images.
