[17:39] <nemo> MethedMan: I expect most tools out there have the exact opposite goal
[17:39] <gedO> How I can mount encripted partiton?
[17:39] <Souperman> iggyology, you are using ubuntu 11.04? if yes it comes whit the new unity interface, you can use the standard old interface loging out and choosing "classic desktop" at the log in menu
[17:39] <MethedMan> nemo: exactly.  why?  b/c i want to jump on the latex bandwagon so i can feel self-important (joking).  what do you mean exact opposite goal?
[17:39] <nemo> MethedMan: latex is presentational, not semantic
[17:40] <bluegoon_> Would updating to 11.04 update my wifi drivers?  My netbook keeps freaking disconnecting
[17:40] <nemo> MethedMan: mathml can be rendered presentationally
[17:40] <nemo> MethedMan: there are plenty of tools to render latex to mathml, but the other way around is rarely desired
[17:40] <demon> can someone help me enabling nvidia driver on Ubuntu UE2.7?
[17:40] <iggyology> Souperman, oh heck... I'm reading an article right now about it!!!   Man, I had no idea I was using something that hadn't been debugged yet!
[17:40] <nemo> since mathml can be rendered just as well as latex, only has actual semantic content
[17:40] <MethedMan> nemo: i see. so why would anyone care to use latex
[17:40] <nemo> MethedMan: used to be what people used
[17:40] <jgould> How do you get rid of the splash screen so you can see what your system is doing at boot
[17:40] <nemo> MethedMan: and if you are generating equations, there were editors to support it
[17:40] <iggyology> Souperman, here's the article: http://mybroadband.co.za/news/columns/20018-Ubuntu-Unity-not-all-that-unifying.html
[17:41] <bluegoon_> Is there an 11.4 netbook edition?
[17:41] <nemo> MethedMan: if you have no problem generating the equations though, seems silly to output to latex, since mathml can be rendered just as well
[17:41] <bluegoon_> I am having trouble with my netbook wifi

[17:41] <Souperman> iggyology, thanks

[17:41] <MnCC> is there a way to hide wireless networks ?
[17:41] <MethedMan> nemo: there were editors to support it?  what do you mean?  sorry for needing a history lesson.
[17:41] <nemo> MethedMan: or if you are more used to latex, you would find it easier to generate, that way. but if you are, you would not have asked for an editor
[17:41] <nemo> MethedMan: http://www.mathweb.org/wiki/LaTeX

[17:42] <FloodBot1> nemo: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:42] <nemo> oh. come on. floodbot. that was so not flooding OR using enter as punctuation
[17:42] <gedO> it gives me error : Could not update ICEauthority file
[17:42] <nemo> stupid floodbot... can't handle fast typing apparently, or pasting of URLs. one of the two
[17:42] <MethedMan> nemo: is there something like mathml that is built-in for openoffice, emacs, vim, or any other program that does not require a web browser?
[17:43] <nemo> MethedMan: mathml is just XML. it can be rendered in anything that can parse it
[17:43] <bluegoon_> i can go on IRC, i can update etc, but DNS not opening web pages.
[17:43] <nemo> it does not require a web browser
[17:43] <iggyology> Souperman, I'm in IRC through unity's website the room is #ayatana

[17:44] <iggyology> join /#ayatana
[17:44] <Souperman> interesting iggyology, but i dont really use unity, and being a xubuntu fan i think i never will :D
[17:44] <iggyology> Souperman, what's xubuntu like? will it run good on a netbook?
[17:45] <genii-around> gedO: sudo chown $(whoami):$(whoami) .ICEauthority
[17:45] <Cassini> dunno if that might be it on the pci addy... if 0000:01:0.0 is pci 0:1:0 or what... any ideas?
[17:45] <gedO> @genii-around: problem is that I can't do this
[17:46] <MethedMan> nemo: i understand that mathml is xml, just not sure how to use that in another program.  also, i am reading http://www.mathweb.org/wiki/LaTeX and am not really sure where to begin.  some of the english links hit documents in german.
[17:46] <nemo> MethedMan: the 2nd link. read THAT one. before asking more questions
[17:46] <nemo> MethedMan: the one that explains MathML

[17:54] <hall> hi all. i've failed in my attempts to google this: is there a "known problems" page somewhere for unity? it does not work at all on my setup (thinkpad/external monitor)
[17:54] <LAcan> only in ubuntu does it take 3 days to set a static IP address. yeesh.
[17:54] <eternicode> 3 days?  really?
[17:54] <iggyology> Does anyone use Gnome desktop?
[17:54] <test> @bluegoon what?
[17:55] <fredrik_> anyone knows how i can make this suggestion stick at reboot? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager/+bug/772785
[17:55] <iggyology> or is everyone a XFCE fan?
[17:55] <gedO> Guys, I can't mount my encrypted partiton
[17:55] <gedO> how I can do this??
[17:55] <Janusman> LAcan: what? I did it in under a minute =)
[17:55] <eternicode> iggyology, does it have to be either/or? :/
[17:55] <iggyology> eternicode, you tell me what you like
[17:55] <iggyology> talk to me man!
[17:56] <eternicode> iggyology, I use kdm (leftover from my KDE days) with a custom .xinitrc that launches Compiz as my window manager.  No fancy "desktop environment" for me.
[17:56] <eternicode> gnome-do for app launching, awn dock for app management, conky for system stats.
[17:57] <iggyology> So, eternicode, please help me to understand if your approach is superior to a fancy desktop
[17:57] <iggyology> or if you're just settled in a comfort zone
[17:58] <eternicode> it's very much a comfort zone :)
[17:58] <eternicode> but I would say it's lighter than having all the DE libraries etc loaded on every startup
[17:58] <iggyology> eternicode, So do you know if there is a desktop environment, say that your friends use and are happy with? Something tried and true?
[17:59] <iggyology> I see
[17:59] <webben> Is anyone else having problems with PECL/PEAR failing to find packages on Ubuntu Lucid?
[17:59] <iggyology> lighter is good for a netbook
[17:59] <webben> Got this problem on 2 VMs now.
[17:59] <usr13> Where are packages downloaded by apt-get  (when using download-only)?
[17:59] <usr13> or... how do I find a particular deb file?
[17:59] <llutz> usr13: /var/cache/apt/archives
[17:59] <eternicode> LXDE, Gnome, and KDE are all tried and true.  In order of "heaviness", I would rank them KDE, Gnome, and LXDE, but that's very subjective
[18:00] <eternicode> great thing about linux is there's all the highly interchangeable pieces and parts.
[18:01] <iggyology> eternicode, So Gnome has been around for a while, but maybe the problem is the new "unity" thing?
[18:01] <aneeshep> @eternicode: I still love gnome.  I tried instaling 11.04 like 6 times already, and I can't boot into linix or win7 at all, so I have to re-install 10.10 to fix my mbr so I can at least use my system.
[18:03] <eternicode> XFCE I think is slightly more heavy than LXDE, but it's good as well.
[18:04] <ActionParsnip> jimmybrite: boot to liveCD and reinstall grub2
[18:04] <iggyology> I see why people fall into the poisoning embrace of Windows
[18:04] <iggyology> This is nuts
[18:04] <jimmybrite> I tried that, but Im sort of a noob with grub, grub-install said something like aufs needed?
[18:04] <iggyology> It's so much work to fart around with Linux
[18:04] <iggyology> I've spent 2 days fudging with this stuff
[18:05] <eternicode> only 2 days? :P
[18:05] <iggyology> exactly eternicode!!!
[18:05] <eternicode> wait till you've spent 4 years :P
[18:05] <iggyology> I have a life I want to get back to!
[18:05] <iggyology> lol
[18:05] <jimmybrite> I tried a clean install from cd, an upgrade from cd, an upgrade from 10.10 installed on my hd, and al of them meses up grub, this is insane, I've never had that happen before
[18:05] <eternicode> granted, only year 1 was spent getting everything perfect... the other three have been small tweaks along the way
[18:05] <iggyology> oh my freakin god!
[18:06] <duende> hi
[18:06] <duende> I have a problem with video in 11.04 can anybody helpme??
[18:07] <eternicode> anyway, my question: my internal wireless card seems to be stuck in promiscuous mode, as all traffic on my network is hitting my machine, whether or not it's the destination/source.  I've tried "ifconfig wlan0 -promisc" to no avail.  Any ideas?
[18:07] <PType1> There is any problem with Ristretto in Xubuntu 11.04?
[18:07] <iggyology> I mean it's fun talking with people.. I understand why there are Linux groups :)
[18:07] <crystal-cola> yeh
[18:08] <jimmybrite> i'll be back later, when i'm trying to install 11.04 AGAIN, it'll be more helpful if I give you guys the exact error messages, it's something like device/partition not found
[18:08] <ActionParsnip> iggyology: what re you having issues with exactly?
[18:09] <ActionParsnip> jimmybrite: remeber to MD5 tes the ISO
[18:09] <PType1> sideshow in Ristretto (Xubuntu 11.04) is not working, right?
 to me dont like these programa ristretto
[18:09] <fredrik_> Ive got the "backlight is off" bug on my laptop. I tried to put the solution (setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=20) into rc.local but it wont work. I guess I need to do sudo.. .how can I solve this so the command is runned as sudo everytime a reboot?
[18:09] <ActionParsnip> jimmybrite: and check the CD for defects
[18:09] <ActionParsnip> iggyology: have you tried other distributions too?
 yeah but that also happens when I do a dist-upgrade dude
[18:09] <Dr_Willis> fredrik_:  rc.local is ran as root. You Did put it befor the exit command in rc.local?
[18:09] <iggyology> my launcher icon is broken. I can only open Firefox directly with the command window (Alt+F2)
[18:09] <ActionParsnip> jimmybrite: sounds about right, I always clean install
[18:09] <iggyology> ActionParsnip,
[18:10] <jimmybrite> bur yeah, md5ing the cd is a MUST, which I don't do all the time,
[18:10] <fredrik_> Dr_Willis, Yepp I did. Though the screen light up for a second it turns of when I have loged in
[18:10] <ActionParsnip> iggyology: tried making a shortcut on the desktop?
[18:10] <ActionParsnip> jimmybrite: may be the cause of the issues
[18:10] <Dr_Willis> fredrik_:  try the command from your users login. does it work?
[18:10] <fredrik_> yepp if I do a sudo setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=20 the screen lights up as it should
[18:11] <nosea> http://paste.ubuntu.com/603345/
[18:11] <jimmybrite> yeah, it's grub2 and dual booting on my machine that seems to mess up, I tried to keep the old bootloader or installer the maintainers package, and both installed the same grub with deep white fonts? if that makes sense
[18:11] <nosea> http://paste.ubuntu.com/603345/
[18:11] <iggyology> ActionParsnip, I tried, but I can't place icons on the desktop
[18:11] <Dr_Willis> fredrik_:  you could add it to your X startup stuff then. Sounds like X may be some how resetting the  thing when it loads.
[18:11] <iggyology> it's not a valid location
[18:11] <jimmybrite> anyhow, i'll be back later, because i'm giving out symptoms blindly..
[18:11] <ActionParsnip> iggyology: tried gnome classic desktop, or a different DE altogether?
[18:11] <DannyButterman> Hi there. Who knows how to make the drag n drop of attached files working in ubuntu thunderbird ?
[18:11] <Dr_Willis> fredrik_:  if you dont want to run it with sudo. you could (not reccomended) set the suid bit on the binary. then it alwyas runs as root even if a user runs it.
[18:11] <fredrik_> Dr_Willis, sounds right.. witch file and where? I'm feeling like a n00b
[18:12] <Dr_Willis> !startup
[18:12] <fredrik_> Dr_Willis, come again?
[18:13] <Dr_Willis> !startup  | fredrik_
[18:13] <Dr_Willis> read the bots url it gave. :)
[18:13] <iggyology> ActionParsnip, nope, not yet, thinking about it though
[18:13] <iggyology> it may be lighter too
[18:13] <fredrik_> Dr_Willis,  sorry... ok.. I'll try that one
[18:13] <ActionParsnip> iggyology: so your issue is with gnome, not linux
[18:13] <Pici> ActionParsnip: I think he is using Unity.
[18:14] <Dr_Willis> iggyology:  make a new user. see if they have the same issue.
[18:14] <ActionParsnip> Pici: possibly
[18:14] <NewPosix> question about ubuntu: how do you know which ubuntu you have (what is the parallel of cat /etc/redhat-release of linux)
[18:14] <NewPosix> I mean of fedora
[18:14] <ActionParsnip> Pici: seems to be fashionable to dislike it right now
[18:15]  * zizban is a raving Unity fanboy
[18:15] <ActionParsnip> NewPosix: lsb_release -a
[18:15] <genii-around> NewPosix: cat /etc/issue
[18:15] <ActionParsnip> zizban: I don't mind it, it's not as bad as everyone makes out if you ask me
[18:15] <iggyology> Dr_Willis, I'll have to try that after I'm done with Unity's support person
[18:15] <zizban> absolutely
[18:15] <multipass_> Hi, is there any way to get the new Iphone drivers that are in 11.04 over to 10.10??
[18:15] <iggyology> thanks though

[18:16] <iggyology> ActionParsnip, yeah, seems like unity is too "wet behind the ears" still...
[18:16] <iceroot> !backports | multipass_
[18:16] <NewPosix> anybody?
[18:16] <iceroot> multipass_: but why does an iphone need drivers?
[18:16] <Pici> NewPosix: Two people already answered you.
[18:16] <Dr_Willis> NewPosix:  you got 2  answers.. did you not see them?
[18:16] <iceroot> NewPosix: cat /etc/issue.net
[18:17] <iceroot> NewPosix: cat /etc/issue
[18:17] <multipass_> iceroot, maybe i didnt word that correctly, but something in 11.04 gives me root directory access to my iphone, as well as access to its music-- in 10.10 i get nothing
[18:17] <iceroot> !iphone | multipass_
[18:17] <fredrik_> Dr_Willis, So I put a new startup app in system->preferences->sessions and at command I wrote setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=20. Nothing happened at reboot.. Does "startup apps" work the same when running unity?
[18:17] <ActionParsnip> iggyology: possibly, give other DEs and they may suit you better. Gnome is default but it doesn't make it any better than the others etc
[18:17] <drhydralisk> my front panel audio connection is not working after I restarted, any help please?

[18:18] <mang0> I'm just wondering if I can use a virtual cd drive to run the ISO file for the ubuntu install....for instance, daemon tools lite.
[18:20] <iceroot> mang0: you can boot isos with grub2, also you can put the iso on an usb-drive
[18:20] <mang0> grub2>
[18:20] <mang0> USB isnt an option
[18:20] <Dr_Willis> fredrik_:  no idea.  if that command needs to be ran as root. that may be the issue.
[18:20] <mang0> iceroot what is grub2?
[18:20] <mang0> I'm trying to install ubuntu, long story XD
[18:20] <fredrik_> Dr_Willis, ok solved it with a uggly hack.. just put sleep 5 before the command in rc.local... Not pretty but it workes.
[18:20] <Dr_Willis> fredrik_:  you could try 'gksudo that-fancy-command'   and see if it asks for the root password. and works.
[18:20] <iceroot> mang0: is there already something running on the pcß
[18:21] <Dr_Willis> fredrik_:  oh yea. rc.local running BEFOR X gets started could be an issue
[18:21] <Dr_Willis> fredrik_:  you may want to have it sleep longer.
[18:21] <iggyology> does pasting my .xsession-errors expose my confidential information?
[18:21] <mang0> iceroot what do you mean?
[18:21] <iggyology> just wondering
[18:21] <cong06> does anyone know of a network monitor that would run from the system tray? I need some kind of replacement for conky that would work with unity...
[18:21] <iceroot> mang0: you want to install ubuntu to your pc, correct?
[18:21] <joelixny> how can I use sed to delete a line that is <?somethingsomething /> in a html document?
[18:21] <Dr_Willis> iggyology:  i wouldent think soo.
[18:21] <mang0> yes
[18:21] <fredrik_> Dr_Willis, Hope they solve this soon... this workes for now.. thanks for all the help.. I buy you a beer sometime.. ;-)
[18:22] <iggyology> mang), were you talking to me?
[18:22] <Dr_Willis> joelixny:  ive seen collections of 'sed one liners' web sites that have exasmplex of stuff like that.
[18:22] <mang0> iceroot I have two 120GB hard drives
[18:22] <iceroot> mang0: and why not using a cd or a usb-drive?
[18:22] <mang0> iggyology no heh
[18:22] <fredrik_> Dr_Willis, Yepp.. I'll make it like 20 instead...
[18:22] <Dr_Willis> fredrik_:  ive had to do similer delays for other apps in X also. like conky,
[18:22] <mang0> iceroot I have the liveCD for 10.10 but it doesn't work....it's not mounting my drives.
[18:22] <mang0> So I wanna try the alternate installer
[18:23] <drhydralisk> can anyone please help me with my audio problem?
[18:23] <iceroot> mang0: you are using fakeraid?

[18:23] <mang0> Nope
[18:23] <mang0> hm?
[18:24] <spankbot> anyone know about using JBOD for Ubunut?  Does each disk display as an individual disk or is it like an iSCSI target?
[18:24] <mang0> orly?
[18:24] <mang0> iceroot the installer won't detect them.
[18:24] <spankbot> JBOD  or SLED
[18:24] <mang0> coz_ what do you mean....*confused*
[18:25] <Bovola> ciao
[18:25] <coz_> mang0,      the mini  is just 19 megs... installs from the net,, aka   netinstal

[18:26] <spankbot> oh no, I'm trying to make a file execute by typing the command "sh filename" and I get a Syntax error: "(" unexpected
[18:27] <coz_> mang0,   however,, it will ask what you want to install at one point,, it is a list,, arrows  scroll the list  SPACE bar ticks the box
[18:27] <coz_> mang0,  would you like to try that??
[18:27] <ActionParsnip> spankbot: check the syntax of the file
[18:27] <mang0> coz_yes
[18:27] <mang0> coz_ yes*
[18:27] <coz_> mang0,     http://dl.dropbox.com/u/132551/mini.iso
[18:27] <spankbot> ActionParsnip, oh no, how do I do that?
[18:27] <chrome_> what is unity exactly?
[18:28] <mang0> so coz_ how do I use it?
[18:28] <iceroot> !unity | chrome_
[18:28] <ActionParsnip> spankbot: open the file in a text file? Did you create the file or did you download it?
[18:28] <coz_> mang0,  burn that to disk...it will not work on usb ,, even though i have tried over and again
[18:28] <ActionParsnip> chrome_: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unity_(desktop_environment)
[18:28] <mang0> is there no way I can install without burning a disk/usb coz_
[18:28] <mang0> ?
[18:28] <groo> i just learned the hard way that gnome 3 does >not< play well with unity
[18:29] <spankbot> ActionParsnip, oh no, when I go to open the file I get an error, "There is no application installed for executable files"
[18:29] <coz_> mang0,   I have tired  over and again to burn this to usb without success
[18:29] <chrome_> nice one ActionParsnip :)
[18:29] <ActionParsnip> spankbot: then you don't need sh. Just run the file as you would a normal executable
[18:29] <coz_> mang0,  it burns fine but refuses to boot
[18:29] <ActionParsnip> chrome_: I simply websearched
[18:29] <mang0> coz_ is there not a way to install it without ANY burning of ANYTHING?
[18:29] <ActionParsnip> coz_: did you MD5 test the image?
[18:30] <spankbot> oh no, gedit has not been able to detect the character encoding.
[18:30] <spankbot> Please check that you are not trying to open a binary file.
[18:30] <spankbot> Select a character encoding from the menu and try again.
[18:30] <iceroot> mang0: yes you can install ubuntu without burning a cd or use a usb-drive but why go the hard way?
[18:30] <coz_> ActionParsnip,  yes and  still i do recall reading somewhere that the mini.iso will not work on usb  and I always use netbootin
[18:30] <iceroot> mang0: just burn a cd or use usb
[18:30] <llutz> mang0: you can use debootstrap if you already have a running linux-sys
[18:30] <coz_> mang0,  no not that I am aware of,, you are not able to burn cd?
[18:30] <adeadas> вы все ПИДОРАСЫ
[18:30] <mang0> iceroot because I only have like, 5 cd's that are NOT rewritable
[18:30] <mang0> and I don't wanna have 2 liveCDs/installers
[18:30] <mang0> ...
[18:30] <iceroot> mang0: then you one of them
[18:31] <mang0> aw screw it
[18:31] <mang0> alternate installer
[18:31] <mang0> for 11.04
[18:31] <llutz> mang0: do you have grub2 installed? it can boot from ISO
[18:31] <mang0> COME TO ME
[18:31] <iceroot> mang0: its not the fault of a failed burn that the live-cd isnt detecting your drives
[18:31] <FloodBot1> mang0: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:31] <Pici> mang0: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation particlarly "Installation without a CD" and "Server and Network installtions"
[18:31] <lxs-makoto> so i was dd'ing an old hdd, and it epicfails. http://pastebin.com/S8Hh4JfT - can anybody tell me how im gonna be able to dump the contents of the hdd in linux?
[18:31] <mang0> ARGH
[18:31] <k_sze> oh great
[18:31] <ActionParsnip> coz_: i believe it does, I've used it myself :)
[18:31] <Younder> lxs-makoto, dump or dd
[18:32] <mang0> iceroot why is it not detecting my drives then?
[18:32] <coz_> ActionParsnip,  wow then I will have to troubleshoot the issue at some point
[18:32] <gedO> Guys, how to swich froem gnome to oanother enviroment?? I have gnome and isntalled LXDE
[18:32] <lxs-makoto> i just want to get a raw backup of the drive.
[18:32] <k_sze> I was trying to install Google Chrome from deb package on my newly-installed Xubuntu 11.04.
[18:32] <zizban> logout, select your session, log back in
[18:32] <Younder> lxs-makoto, then dd
[18:32] <Pici> gedO: Log out and select it from the sessions menu at the login screen.
[18:32] <iceroot> mang0: because you are using fakeraid or your controller is not supported or your harddrives are not detected from the bios
[18:32] <coz_> mang0,  if you burn that mini.iso ,, even though it is on ly 19 megs  it will always install the most current updates
[18:32] <k_sze> totally messed up Package Manager
[18:32] <ActionParsnip> coz_: yeah unetbootin will take the ISO as far as I remember
[18:32] <nikop> hello, can somebody help me? I updated Xubuntu to the newest version yesterday. Now I cannot find my Multiboot -menu by pressing SHIFT on startup, what i can do?? Do i have my Windows partiotion anymore??
[18:33] <mang0> iceroot would I know if I was using fakeraid? cos I don't think I am....I think it is my controller
[18:33] <gedO> @Pici: Great :0 THX
[18:33] <ActionParsnip> k_sze: you can add the daily PPA and install it that way, gives a nice new version with snazzy features :)
[18:33] <coz_> ActionParsnip,  tried over and again.. but if you have done it then that just gives me incentive to troubleshoot it :)
[18:34] <lxs-makoto> so how would I go about doing a dd of this hard drive if it doesnt seem to want to?
[18:34] <Younder> nikop,  It's still there. You jsut have to access the grub menu
[18:34] <ActionParsnip> coz_: could grab the daily, pretty much the same deal
[18:34] <k_sze> ActionParsnip: ya, but I still need to fix package manager
[18:34] <llutz> lxs-makoto: try gddrescue
[18:34] <k_sze> I get some weird message about "E: Encountered a section with no Package: header"
[18:34] <coz_> ActionParsnip,  yeah I realize that,, but the mini.is cool :)
[18:35] <BlaDe^> Can anyone help me with making a user locked down a little more?
[18:35] <ActionParsnip> coz_: very :)
[18:35] <mang0> so how do I install grub2?
[18:35] <mang0> !grub
[18:35] <nikop> Younder, How can i access that grub menu?? Before yesterday I got the grub menu by pressing and holding SHIFT on startup, now it doesnt work!! :(
[18:35] <mang0> !grub install
[18:35] <mang0> dammit
[18:36] <ThinkT510> !brain | mang0
[18:36] <mang0> :3
[18:36] <iceroot> mang0:  thought about using ubuntu 11.04 with better hardware support?
[18:36] <iceroot> mang0: is your bios detecting the harddrives?
[18:36] <Cassini_> any idea why my nvidia drivers are loading but won't be put to use? in the log file it just says failed to initialize NVIDIA GPU at PCI:1:0:0. check system kernel log. I checked... I see nothting there.
[18:36] <mang0> iceroot permission to PM you? I can't concentrate here...
[18:36] <mang0> yes I know, !ask...
[18:37] <nikop> Younder, and i have Grub version 1.99~rc1-13ubuntu3 installed
[18:37] <eternicode> my wireless card seems to be stuck in promiscuous mode, as all traffic on my network is hitting my machine, whether or not it's the destination/source.  I've tried "ifconfig wlan0 -promisc" to no avail.  Any ideas?
[18:37] <Younder> Cassini_, Yes, there is a interrupt conflict. Both IDE scci0 and display want to use irq 16. Check with lshw
[18:38] <mang0> So 11.04 has better support for drivers then 10.10?
[18:38] <mang0> iceroot may I PM you?
[18:38] <novitololo> Hello.  I'm having problems with VirtualBox trying to run Windows under Ubuntu 10.10.  It doesn't recognize my CD/DVD, it is not shown...
[18:38] <Cassini_> Younder, is where will I change the irq # to use?
[18:38] <Younder> nikop, This is a new grub version which behaves differently. Check the grub documentation
[18:39] <nikop> How?
[18:39] <nikop> Younder, how? :)
[18:39] <OneKorea> Hello, I wanna install ubuntu but retain all data on current D: partrition of windows vista, how hard is that / does ubuntu installer supports it? thanks!
[18:39] <ThinkT510> mang0: 11.04 uses a newer kernel than 10.10 so there are driver updates and whatnot
[18:39] <mang0> okay cool
[18:39] <enzotib> hi all, i would install "timidity" with suggested packages, but --install-suggests option of apt-get do not seem to work, also -o APT::Install-Suggests=1 do not work
[18:39] <P_Kable> Hello, I have to reset every 5 mn under natty, anyone got that too ?
[18:40] <masterburner> when I boot into ubuntu classic, all my window borders are gone... how do I fix this?
[18:40] <k_sze> "The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened."
[18:41] <CryptKper> Can someone tell me how to restore the ubuntu software center to its classic look. after my upgrade everything shows up in a single file line.
[18:41] <Younder> Cassini_, I Have sent a bug report. Technically this should not happen as a separate demon  assigns the interrupts. I have just decided to wait to they have a fix..
[18:41] <ThinkT510> OneKorea: you can install ubuntu and access any partitions just fine yes
[18:41] <OneKorea> thanks
[18:41] <ThinkT510> np
[18:41] <xavier_> nick xaiev
[18:41] <xavier_> ooops
[18:41] <xaiev> hi there
[18:42] <Younder> CryptKper, When you log in and click the user (but haven't entered the passwd yet) on the bottom line you can select classic
[18:42] <xaiev> i'm trying to install latest 11.04 from a usb key and apt-get fails not finding the cdrom - tried 'cdrom-detect/usb=true'
[18:42] <masterburner> when I boot into ubuntu classic, all my window borders are gone... how do I fix this?
[18:42] <xaiev> was the same with 10.10 :/
[18:43] <CryptKper> Younder, Ubuntu Software Center, unity isnt the issue.
[18:43] <Dr_Willis> Hmm. I just noticed that Chromium and google chrome both start the first time with their 'pick a search engine' dialog window 1/2 way off the screen at the bottom.
[18:43] <Dr_Willis> masterburner:  try alt-f2 and run 'metacity --replace' or 'compiz --replace'
[18:43] <ThinkT510> P_Kable: you'll need to give more details so that we can figure out your problem
[18:44] <KM0201> xaiev: why would you even need to use that command?  usually i just boot an ISO i've put on the thumb drive, and install.. what issue are you having again?
[18:44] <masterburner> Dr_willis: already tried both, doesn't help... not even after a reboot
[18:44] <KM0201> Dr_Willis: yeah... kinda ironic they don't "force" one on you like some browsers.. :0
[18:44] <Dr_Willis> masterburner:  try it in a terminal, look for error emssages.. metacity should work on any setup
[18:44] <Dr_Willis> KM0201:  i just found it odd that the window was in a bad spot.
[18:45] <KM0201> ya
[18:45] <Dr_Willis> KM0201:  and it affected both chromouim browser and google chrome.
[18:45] <masterburner> Dr_willis: I think I found a fix... brb
[18:45] <Dr_Willis> There are some neat 'unity' tricks these browsers are doing  from what ive seen on the blog sites. :) progress bars in the icon.
[18:45] <xaiev> KM0201, If you get "Incorrect CD-ROM detected" error on detection stage, reboot, press F6 and then ESC to go to manual boot line editing, and add the option 'cdrom-detect/try-usb=true'
[18:46] <xaiev> found on ubuntu.com
[18:46] <ActionParsnip> xaiev: I've seen a few users say they had liveusb expect a cd
[18:46] <centHOGG> xbmc library mode anyone?
[18:46] <KM0201> xaiev: strange, never had that issue.. are you rying to use the alt. cd?
[18:46] <xaiev> no the regular one
[18:46] <ActionParsnip> !details | centHOGG
[18:46] <Cassini_> Younder, I don't see anything else using irq 16 on my box
[18:46] <Younder> CryptKper, Oh I see. Rightclick background. select change desktop background, on the first tab select classic
[18:47] <xaiev> KM0201, was the same w/h 10.10 my personal laptop & another usb stick
[18:47] <xaiev> anyway i can bypass apt to check for the cdrom and install package from online repositories?
[18:49] <OneKorea> ThinkT510, hm this means i need to use wubi installer or the 'real' full one can do as well? (to install ubuntu but save current Window's D: NTFS partrtition, ubuntu can read NTFS?)
[18:49] <CryptKper> Younder, please read my entire sentence. IN ubuntu software center, all of the software categories are being displayed in a single line, how do i restore the setting for 'ubuntu software center'
[18:50] <ThinkT510> OneKorea: yes, ubuntu reads and writes ntfs partitions on a full real install, it won't overwrite anything there
[18:51] <OneKorea> oh thats lovely
[18:52] <ThinkT510> OneKorea: its an easy install process, the hardest part is partitioning, but that is simple when you know how
[18:52] <KM0201> OneKorea: actualy, a "wubi install" is not a real, full install.. and i personally wouldn't do it.. but thats just my opinion
[18:52] <KM0201> OneKorea: to clarify, i wouldn't do an install w/ wubi.
[18:52] <OneKorea> of course not, i want full install, bye bye to windows, but want my DATA xD
[18:52] <salomonv> hi guys, my unity launcher won't hide anymore, for some reason, is there any way to force it to hide?
[18:52] <KM0201> OneKorea: have you ever used ubuntu?
[18:53] <zizban> salomonv, is it in Unity2d? Nvidia drivers?
[18:53] <salomonv> don't know about 2d, i'm running standard natty, but yes, nvidia drivers
[18:53] <KM0201> OneKorea: nuking windows right off the bat, only means you're going to be reinstalling windows within a week... set up a dual boot, and learn the OS... dual boot for at least 6mo.
[18:53] <OneKorea> yea, i have some experience with linux distros, no problem, just wondered about ubuntu installer, im not completely newb
[18:53] <salomonv> zizban: don't know about 2d, i'm running standard natty, but yes, nvidia drivers
[18:53] <CryptKper> salomonv, clean install or upgrade?
[18:53] <andreaborman> I have installed Linux Mint 9 alongside my Windows 7 starter on one of my computers.
[18:53] <salomonv> CryptKper, upgrade
[18:54] <zizban> salomonv, you have to install unity2d manually. Yeah, Nvidia is a problem right now.
[18:54] <ThinkT510> !mint | andreaborman
[18:54] <salomonv> zizban, so I need to install unity2d then? for the record, this is the second time today this has happened (rebooted last time) - i had no problems till today
[18:55] <CryptKper> salomonv, turn off your nvidia driver, reboot, turn it back on, reboot, should be fine.
[18:55] <chrome_> Why gnome3 is not the ubuntu main desktop?
[18:55] <andreaborman> I did this by mounting it the ISO file on virtual clone drive and used the mint 4 windows installer. So mint can be uninstalled again if I want like any of my other Windows programs
[18:55] <ActionParsnip> chrome_: you can add it
[18:55] <ActionParsnip> !gnome3
[18:55] <salomonv> CryptKper, should be fine forever, or for just this time?
[18:55] <zizban> chrome: because Gnome3 sucks :-)
[18:55] <CryptKper> salomonv, good question.
[18:55] <chrome_> ok
[18:55] <coz_> chrome_,   gnome  3 uses mutter   11.04  decided to not use mutter and replace it with compiz as the compositor
[18:56] <andreaborman> I have Linux Mint 9 gnome by the way it's the easiest one to use.
[18:56] <salomonv> CryptKper, last time a reboot did the trick but now it happened again. Only thing I can think of is I started to use different workspaces today
[18:56] <iggyology> anyone experienced with natty?
[18:56] <KM0201> andreaborman: maybe, but offtopic here..
[18:56] <ActionParsnip> iggyology: as experience as you can be
[18:57] <deostroll> I need some help with formatting the USB. I am referring this article: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-format-usb-pen-drive/ . it says assume /dev/sda1 is the partition name for usb pen...I don't get this part...
[18:57] <iggyology> can you tell me why the Firefox icon isn't showing in the launchbar when there's an open window?
[18:57] <ActionParsnip> iggyology: are you using unity?
[18:57] <Wolf_22> I'm trying to install Tomcat to a Natty VM and I *think* everything is fine so far, but I want to ensure that the JAVA_HOME var "sticks" after reboot. Is this done through the startup.sh?
[18:57] <KM0201> deostroll: you have to find what drive lable your thumb drive has... the instructions are assuming it is sda1 (coudl be sdb1, sdc1, sdd..e tc..)
[18:58] <ActionParsnip> Wolf_22: add it in ~/.bashrc
[18:58] <iggyology> ActionParsnip, yes I am
[18:58] <deostroll> KM0201, how do I find out?
[18:58] <Wolf_22> Thanks Action. Will do.
[18:58] <jrib> Wolf_22: what is "the startup.sh"?
[18:58] <ActionParsnip> iggyology: that's why. Unity uses globalmenu
[18:58] <gp5st> is there anyway to create a tmp file that resides in memory only?
[18:58] <coz_> deostroll,   you can install netbootin  or  I believe its called  image writer or go to system/administraton/startup disk creator
[18:58] <KM0201> deostroll: are ou just trying to format it as ext3?.. you do realize gparted can do that w/ a fairly simple GUI don't you?
[18:58] <iggyology> ActionParsnip, can you tell me how to get the icons back in the launch bar?
[18:59] <salomonv> anyhow, there is no way to invoke the launcher to hide?
[18:59] <ActionParsnip> iggyology: you may get luck if you boot to gnome classic then start compiz, may help
[18:59] <deostroll> KM0201, coz_ i kinda want to dos format it...
[18:59] <iggyology> ActionParsnip, I wish there was a way for me to get the Unity to work
[18:59] <coz_> deostroll,  ah ok
[19:00] <KM0201> deostroll: terminal isn't dos
[19:00] <iggyology> but if you think that it's too new than I'll switch
[19:00] <andreaborman> KM0201 Linux mint is based on ubuntu they say. But I have tried ubuntu installed in the same way as I did with Mint. but it does not have a Windows type start menu like Linux mint does. which make it more familiar for Windows users like me.
[19:00] <Wolf_22> jrib: It was my understanding that it was the Natty version of a startup.
[19:00] <Wolf_22> (startup file, that is.)
[19:00] <deostroll> KM0201, no but the article does say I can do a mkfs.vat
[19:00] <gnude> hello, i like to show you my blog about my experiences with debian: http://erfahrungenmitdebian.blogspot.com/
[19:00] <LuckyNeo> What steps should I take to update to Ubuntu 11.10 beta 2?
[19:00] <deostroll> *mkfs.vfat
[19:01] <KM0201> andreaborman: it really doesn't matter, its still off topic in this channel (no its not easier, it's just got a different GUI, theya re the essentially the same OS)
[19:01] <ccallahan|School> (10.04.2) If I were to setup a Jailkit on a desktop environment, what programs to I need to whitelist for GNOME, Firefox, OOo, and the Network Share Mounter (On the places menu)?
[19:01] <ThinkT510> LuckyNeo: 11.04 is no longer beta
[19:01] <deostroll> my main concern is what comes after the mkfs.vfat part...i.e the argument...
[19:01] <ThinkT510> LuckyNeo: oops, sorry, misread
[19:02] <KM0201> LuckyNeo: i don't think 11.10 is public yet.. but i could be wrong.
[19:02] <crazyrohila> can i upgrade my 10.04 to 11.04
[19:02] <KM0201> crazydiamond: no
[19:02] <KM0201> crazy 10.04>>10.10>>>11.04 is what you'd neeed to do
[19:02] <andreaborman> Well i must admit when I tried the new version of ubuntu 11 it is beter than the old because at least with the new version. It recognised my wifi so I could connect wirelessly to the internet.
[19:02] <ccallahan|School> Oh, and WiFI
[19:02] <crazydiamond> KM0201: ?
[19:03] <ablaze> hi everyone
[19:03] <Pici> LuckyNeo: 11.10 has not yet reached alpha status.
[19:03] <LuckyNeo> Oh I'm sorry
[19:03] <ablaze> I hope this is the right place to come to search for a solution
[19:03] <KM0201> crazydiamond: ?
[19:03] <andreaborman> And it was not so difficult to use as the old version either.
[19:03] <crazyrohila> ThinkT510: can i upgrade my 10.04 to 11.04
[19:03] <jrib> Wolf_22: I'm not familiar with this file.  Where is it located?
[19:03] <Dr_Willis> ablaze:  theres here, theres the forums and theres that askubuntu web site. :)
[19:03] <usr13> andreaborman: YOu can make Ubuntu look exactly like MS Windows, it's just a matter of changing the theme.  If that will make things easier for you, go for it.
[19:03] <crazydiamond> KM0201: you wrote <KM0201> crazydiamond: no
[19:03] <KM0201> crazyrohila: no, you can't.. 10.04>>10.10>>11.04 would be what you'd have to do, you can't do it directly
[19:03] <ThinkT510> crazyrohila: you'll have to update to 10.10 then to 11.04
[19:04] <Dr_Willis> I want to make ubuntu look like my C64 GeOs :)
[19:04] <andreaborman> I can only do simple things on Linux. I cannot tweak it like I can Windows.
[19:04] <KM0201> crazydiamond: sorry.. to many "crazy's" here.. :)
[19:04] <crazydiamond> wasn't it to me?
[19:04] <crazydiamond> oek :)
[19:04] <crazydiamond> *ok
[19:04] <deostroll> KM0201, coz_ where can I learn more about /dev/sda, sda1, sdc, etc...

[19:07] <andreaborman> I would like to remove my pasword on Linux so that I don't have to enter it every time I install software or make changes to my computer on Linux. On windows I do not have any passwords. I just turn on my computer and go and do what I want(adjust settings) without any password. It would be nice if I could do this on linux.And not have a password.
[19:07] <ThinkT510> deostroll: maybe look up some documentation of the file structure of linux, it sounds like you are unfamiliar
[19:07] <usr13> ablaze: Sure, what is your question?
[19:07] <iggyology> tsimpson, can you tell me how to get the Firefox icon to show up in the launch bar?

[19:07] <ozanorhan> Hi, is it any harm to remove keyring or should i stop its disturbing password questions at start up ?
[19:07] <KM0201> andreaborman: you're not gonna get anyone here to tell you how to do that
[19:07] <tsimpson> iggyology: no, but someone else here probably can
[19:07] <deostroll> ThinkT510, i did that I got stuff like inode and stuff like that...
[19:08] <ablaze> i have already asked ::: i re-ask: in fact, i have upgraded to 10.10 and i was not able to start ubuntu (i have wubi installed) ::: then I used live USB to recover wubldr file and then it starts but it blocks on Ubuntu screen with dots moving underneath and nothing happens ::: what to do please?
[19:08] <Dr_Willis> thres some 'Linux Filesystem Hiarchy' guide/site/docs that detail the filesystem layout. I cant rember the factoid for it.
[19:08] <iggyology> tsimpson, what do you use for Linux OS?
[19:08] <Pici> !hier | Dr_Willis
[19:08] <andreaborman> Why is not having a password on Linux dangerous?
[19:08] <Pici> !heir | Dr_Willis
[19:08] <coz_> !filesystem
[19:08] <usr13> andreaborman: It's not a good idea to have a blank password.
[19:08] <Pici> hrm
[19:08] <tsimpson> iggyology: I use Kubuntu
[19:08] <Pici> Dr_Willis: sorry about that, I thought that was an alias for !filesystem.
[19:08] <jrib> andreaborman: you shouldn't do it.  You shouldn't be doing sudo things that often that it would annoy you.  If you think you know best, read « man sudoers » about NOPASSWD.  Again, it's not a good idea
[19:08] <usr13> andreaborman: Well, it would be ok if you do not get on the internet with it.
[19:09] <Dr_Willis> ablaze:  try booting using the 'text' option. that will disable plymouth (qwhich is the dott/animation.  when  you see the grub menu , hit 'e' edit the kernel line that has 'quiet splash' to read 'text' and see if you can boot to the console and login.
[19:09] <Dr_Willis> Pici:  :) getting to many factoids for me to rember
[19:09] <iggyology> tsimpson, have you used anything else?
[19:09] <multipass|2> is there gui svn client??
[19:09] <andreaborman> But on Windows I do not have a password. On windows it is optional. You don't have to have a password if you do not want one.

[19:27] <alphamale> but i messed something up

[19:58] <bretzel> for du ** for duplicated
[19:58] <Snakkah> And yes, I know there's a panel app for Tomboy. I just like the systray icon more.

[20:04] <ActionParsnip> Ablaze: research, use the web
[20:04] <botcity> AceKing, same here I am trying on this pc but it freezes also, I think its because its not got ubuntu tweak installed
[20:04] <igi69> @mamad have you tried the add/remove software application?

[20:04] <mamad> i have tried the main server as well as some european ones
[20:05] <mang0> This might be a bios problem
[20:05] <mamad> you mean synaptic?
[20:05] <cannonball> Froq_: when you login (after you enter the username), select "Ubuntu Classic" for the desktop, it will load Gnome instead.
[20:05] <ablaze> i have already tried but not very helpful ::: just kindly tell me that what can i do with this screen :::
[20:05] <janisozaur> is it possible to find out what version of gcc compiled give nbinary?
[20:05] <igi69> @mamad synaptic, yes, but the easiest is the add/remove software

[20:06] <haseeb> HI
[20:06] <jacktheripper> I just installed gnome 3 on ubuntu natty by adding the official ppa and dist-upgrade + gnome-shell. gdm now doesn't list any users (just auto-login and other) and doesn't allow me to login. When I keep pressing return I can see 'Permission Denied' flickering.
[20:06] <ablaze> ok tell me ::: is there a channel where we help the beginners plz???
[20:06] <ActionParsnip> Ablaze: i don't know and i have low battery so i can't research. I'd be using the same internet you'd be using
[20:07] <Froq_> cannonball, I desire to remove Unity completely though.  is there a command I can complete?
[20:07] <rumpe1> jacktheripper, gnome3 is experimental, there are warnings all over the project page... i hope you have a backup.
[20:07] <jcapinc> I just installed 11.04, I have ATI Mobility Radeon X1300, which is in ubuntu wiki's list of supported cards, and jocky is not showing me proprietary drivers
[20:07] <mamad> where is add/remove? i have synaptic and software center
[20:07] <phoenixsampras> how to have 2 columns of icons on UNITY menu ?????!!@!@@!#
[20:07] <jcapinc> and I cannot compozite when I could in 10.10
[20:07] <jacktheripper> rumpe1, it's a new install so I didn't lose anything. But experimental ? doesn't 'released' mean it's tested and stable ?
[20:08] <haseeb> any body knows how to download youtube videos
[20:08] <ablaze> but what should i search ??? this is the problem ::: i have already searched google with "computer block on ubuntu screen" but i was not able to find the solution ::: so just help me plz and tell how to search :::
[20:08] <ablaze> and i will do that
[20:08] <BlouBlou> haseeb: Yes, install video downloadhelper
[20:08] <jorek> haseeb: do you use firefox?
[20:08] <BlouBlou> haseeb: it's a firefox script
[20:08] <haseeb> yes
[20:08] <cannonball> Froq_: Haven't tried, am sure there is a way, but I don't know it.  I'd guess to remove the unity package.
[20:08] <ActionParsnip> !gnome3
[20:08] <rumpe1> jacktheripper, it's not officially released as a desktop for ubuntu.
[20:08] <jorek> haseeb: if so, do what BlouBlou said
[20:09] <igi69> @mamad I means software center of ubuntu
[20:09] <jacktheripper> I can see that..
[20:09] <Froq_> cannonball, thaz
[20:09] <haseeb> where can i find it?
[20:09] <rumpe1> jacktheripper, thats the reason, why you had to add a ppa to the sources
[20:09] <haseeb> jorek: ok
[20:09] <ActionParsnip> jacktheripper: try in #gnome
[20:09] <jorek> haseeb: google it
[20:09] <haseeb> jorek: ok
[20:10] <jiltdil> in synpatic package manager i marked residual configuration for complete removal but the apply button is showing freezed how to remove that and also fix this problem?any idea?

[20:10] <ActionParsnip> haseeb: insall youtube-dl   and you can do it in terminal
[20:11] <botcity> AceKing, just type rm ~/.local/share/zeitgeist/activity.sqlite that removed it for me
[20:11] <AceKing> botcity, OK

[20:11] <ablaze> is there someone else who can help plz????
[20:11] <ActionParsnip> l403: could uninstall the ubuntu-sounds package
[20:11] <zus> what is the CLI for updating  grub?
[20:12] <botcity> AceKing, did that work ?
[20:12] <FoolsRun> Can anyone tell me how to run an application (actually a Java .jar file) on my machine's :0 display from SSH?
[20:12] <_pg_> zus, sudo update-grub
[20:12] <_pg_> i think
[20:12] <ActionParsnip> Zus: sudo update-grub
[20:12] <AceKing> It ran the command and came back to the prompt
[20:12] <smw> FoolsRun, export DISPLAY=':0'
[20:12] <zus> _pg_,  ActionParsnip  thank you
[20:12] <AceKing> botcity, It ran the command and came back to the prompt
[20:13] <iceroot> FoolsRun: ssh -X host java -jar file.jar
[20:13] <botcity> AceKing, yaeh but is your history there?
[20:13] <FoolsRun> smw: export DISPLAY=':0' COMMAND HERE ?
[20:13] <AceKing> botcity, yes
[20:13] <smw> FoolsRun, yes, it is a command
[20:13] <ablaze> anyways thanx :::
[20:13] <FoolsRun> smw: I mean do I use the export command on a separate line, or as part of the java -jar line?\
[20:13] <botcity> AceKing,  try zeitgeist-daemon --quit ?
[20:13] <amiuhle> I executed a make clean as sudo, which ran "rm -r /usr/*". As soon as I realized this, I cancelled, but at least /usr/bin is already gone. After some research on Google, my best solution is to boot the Ubuntu CD, copy the /usr/bin folder from there to my hdd and then executing "sudo apt-get install --fix-broken". Does anyone have a better idea?
[20:14] <smw> FoolsRun, different line

[20:14] <smw> FoolsRun, or export xyz; java -jar x.jar
[20:14] <ActionParsnip> iceroot: add -C too (enables compression)
[20:15] <FoolsRun> smw: I get "Can't connect to X11 window server using ':0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable."
[20:15] <ActionParsnip> iggyology: prefs -> keyboard settings -> options
[20:15] <smw> FoolsRun, are you the same user?
[20:15] <ActionParsnip> iggyology: not sure if that's 100%
[20:15] <FoolsRun> smw: the same user as who?
[20:15] <_pg_> anyone know of a good alac decoder
[20:15] <AceKing> botcity, I ran that last command. Do I need to re run the first command you gave me?
[20:15] <smw> FoolsRun, the same user as the person who is logged in
[20:16] <ActionParsnip> iggyology: could you not find a guide for it online?
[20:16] <FoolsRun> smw: I'm not, but I disabled "nolisten tcp" for X
[20:16] <iggyology> ActionParsnips, I found it in "Keyboard Shortcuts"
[20:16] <igi69> @mamad I think the solution of ust13 can help
[20:16] <coz_> iggyology,  the command would be    gnome-session-save --kill
[20:16] <iggyology> it allows you press the keys you wish to use to modify the shortcut also, very cool
[20:16] <botcity> AceKing,   no  ..   but did it remove the history ?   for some reason that worked for me ?
[20:16] <smw> FoolsRun, if you are not the same user, I don't think it works. I know very little about x
[20:17] <AceKing> botcity, No, still there
[20:17] <FoolsRun> smw: I'll try as the same user
[20:17] <kaiser> just install ubuntu 11.04. all seems fine, but no sound. soundcard detected and installed fine. just no sound
[20:17] <smw> FoolsRun, in the past without doing anything I have run stuff by setting DISPLAY as the same user who was logged in
[20:17] <ActionParsnip> !sound
[20:17] <l403> ActionParsnip, I guess I have to log out and log back in to actually get rid of the sounds huh?
[20:17] <l403> or restart fluxbox? 1 sec
[20:17] <mamad> usr13: the thread just suggests changing the mirror, but i have done that before and doesn't work
[20:18] <iggyology> ActionParsnip, yes, that was the option I was looking for
[20:18] <ActionParsnip> L403: not sure dude. Makes sense
[20:18] <ablaze> hi i need some help about ubuntu ::: i m really a newbie ::: and don't know a lot about ubuntu ::: just trying to learn it ::: can someone help me please???

[20:18] <botcity> AceKing,   hmm have you updated recently ?
[20:18] <coz_> rather ctrl+alt+backspace
[20:18] <zakwilson> Skype isn't appearing in my notification area in 11.04 using classic Gnome. I tried the whitelist fix, even though that appears to be Unity-specific. It did not help.
[20:18] <jorek> ablaze: what's your problem?
[20:18] <AceKing> botcity, This morning I had some updates
[20:18] <coz_> iggyology,  so if you dot ctrl+alt+F1  log in then     sudo restart gdm

[20:22] <rumpe1> ezl, you know that ubuntu itself doesn't use extensions?
[20:22] <jorek> ablaze: but the "blackscreen" is just the loader for ubuntu. as long as you didn't halted the computer while updating everything should work
[20:22] <ablaze> but now i m blocked on ubuntu screen ::: is there something to resolve this problem plz?
[20:22] <Jordan_U> botcity: AceKing: sudo is not the solution to every problem and should not be used unless you're sure the command you want to run should be run as root.
[20:23] <ablaze> jorek: what should now I do to sort out the problem plz?
[20:23] <botcity> AceKing, sorry  cant remove it because its not there  lol !
[20:23] <AceKing> Jordan_U, I was sure of the command, we just wanted to try to see if it made a difference
[20:23] <ezl> rumpe1: thats where i was heading, but can't quite get it
[20:23] <AceKing> Jordan_U, Thank you for the info
[20:23] <ezl> $ rename 's/(.*)/$1/'
[20:23] <ezl> oh bugger
[20:23] <Jordan_U> AceKing: Using sudo when you're not sure it's needed is a bad habbit to get into.

[20:24] <ablaze> jorek: i m on another computer with vista :::
[20:25] <l3> Hi All: Well my ubuntu update has not been going so smooth, long story short ive accidentally sudo apt-get autoremoved ALL of my kernal images, which autoremoved a bunch of useful packaged before I could kill the operation.  Ive cleanup up dpkg and reinstalled the latest kernel image, but I dont know which packages are still missing.  is there any way to reinstall "important" packages before I reboot?
[20:25] <hwilde> how to restore middle mouse paste function in 11.04 ?
[20:25] <AceKing> Jordan_U, I understand. There is a problem that is driving me nuts. I'm trying to disable the Recent Documents
[20:25] <jorek> ablaze: okay. the purple screen is nothing but the loader for ubuntu
[20:25] <tjiggi_fo> ablaze, there's actually a warning on the wubi page about a problem upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide
[20:25] <kaiser> Fresh Ubuntu 11.04 install. No sound. run alsamixer and made sure nothing is muted.device is enabled, volume is on but NO AUDIO at all. card 0: ICH6 [Intel ICH6], device 4: Intel ICH - IEC958 [Intel ICH6 - IEC958]
[20:25] <mr_orange> 1403, and what would I be looking for in there and how can i get to it if ubuntu 11.04 doesnt load?
[20:25] <kaiser>   Subdevices: 1/1
[20:25] <Jordan_U> AceKing: It seems that the file has been successfully unlinked. If you still see history from zeitgeist then try restarting zeitgeist.
[20:26] <smw> l3, try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[20:26] <l403> l3 install some metapackage like ubuntu-desktop or something similar
[20:26] <rumpe1> l3, autoremove doesn't deinstall anything
[20:26] <cannonball> l3: Look in /var/log/apt/history.log to see what packages got removed.
[20:26] <l3> rumpe1: oh?
[20:26] <AceKing> Jordan_U, What is the command to restart zeitgeist?
[20:26] <rumpe1> l3, erm... wait...
[20:26] <ablaze> tjiggi_fo: i have fixed the grub problem ::: now it's not the grub problem but after that it stucks on this screen
[20:26] <Jordan_U> AceKing: In *NIX files aren't actually deleted from the filesystem until there are no applications with an open file handle.
[20:26] <smw> l3, you removed all your kernels and it started removing everything else, right?
[20:26] <tjiggi_fo> ablaze, best is to uninstall wubi from windows (instructions in the link above) and reinstall 10.10
[20:26] <smw> l3, the ubuntu-desktop package should have everything you need.
[20:27] <Bum-Gum> I used 10.4 and everything was good but now i have natty narwhale and my computer isn't able to connect with my archos 2.4 vision
[20:27] <tjiggi_fo> ablaze, understood, but it breaks more than just grub
[20:27] <l3> smw: yeah
[20:27] <jorek> tjiggi: wouldn't it be better to install 11.04 right away?
[20:27] <l3> smw: seems everything ubuntu-desktop depends on is still available
[20:27] <rumpe1> l3, man apt-get : "autoremove is used to remove packages that were automatically  installed to satisfy dependencies for some package and that are no more needed."
[20:27] <hwilde> middle mouse paste doesn't work in 11.04 anymore??
[20:27] <hwilde> how to restore middle mouse paste function in 11.04 ?
[20:27] <tjiggi_fo> jorek, that's his choice not mine
[20:27] <l3> smw: I may still have missing packages but at least I think I can safely boot
[20:27] <FoolsRun> Okay, new question: when shell scripting, what is the syntax for inline-su?  Is it just su username command?
[20:27] <jorek> tjiggi, okay
[20:28] <smw> l3, are you sure?
[20:28] <tjiggi_fo> !tab | jorek
[20:28] <l3> rumpe1: right, but when I removed ALL my kernel images, a bunch of important packages got uninstalled (libraries etc).
[20:28] <haseeb> any body knows how to download youtube videos.
[20:28] <ablaze> tjiggi_fo: i just read the megathread link given in your site ::: and i used their method to restore grub menu ::: but now it's not working ::: after that ::: when i use a generic, after that it stucks on purple screen ::: but recovery mode is working
[20:28] <maco> FoolsRun: -c i think
[20:28] <LjL> !info youtube-dl | haseeb
[20:28] <phibxr> haseeb, try apt-get install minitube
[20:28] <l3> smw: I guess reinstalling the latest kernel image also reinstalled all the necessary packages
[20:28] <Bum-Gum> I used 10.4 and everything was good but now i have natty narwhale and my computer isn't able to connect with my archos 2.4 vision
[20:28] <smw> l3, do sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop. Then, do sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop
[20:28] <rumpe1> l3, uh... why would you do that? :)
[20:28] <[snake]> I have ubuntu 11.04 64 bit, and firstly, when I boot up my monitor (not the computer) says optimum resolution exceeded (1400 x 900 @ 60). Secondly when I have more than a few windows open, they start to go completely blank white, and I sometimes have to restart the application to get it to show its content again.
[20:28] <Jordan_U> AceKing: "zeitgeist-daemon --replace &" I believe.
[20:29] <mr_orange> l403, and what would I be looking for in there and how can i get to it if ubuntu 11.04 doesnt load?

[20:30] <abogatyrev> hi guys
[20:30] <l403> mr_orange, warning lines should start with WW: and error lines with EE: I think
[20:30] <l3> rumpe1: sudo apt-get autoremove linux-image-2.6.28* somehow also matched 2.6.35 and 38 etc.. apt regex matching is .. different than i expect it to be.  It warned me, but i hit yes without thinking
[20:30] <Bum-Gum> my archos isn't recognized by natty narwhale please help
[20:30] <abogatyrev> please help with sleep mode
[20:30] <[snake]> can you just downgrade back to 10.10?
[20:30] <coz_> [snake],   make sure the monitor is plugged in firmly and also make sure the power plug to the video card, if any,  is plugged in,, these two things will cause that monitor to report that
[20:31] <smw> [snake], downgrading is not supported
[20:31] <ablaze> jorek: can u help in this regard pls?
[20:31] <AceKing> Jordan_U, I am going to log out and log back in. I will sign back in to let you know
[20:31] <tjiggi_fo> ablaze, I understand where it gets stuck, but I have no idea how to solve that. You might look in your log file viewer at messages and boot to see if there are any clues
[20:31] <coz_> [snake],  no guranatee those are the issues  though
[20:31] <mr_orange> l403, how can I see them if Ubuntu does not load?
[20:31] <[snake]> coz_, it is... it fixes right after my boot splash
[20:31] <Bum-Gum> too much trouble
[20:31] <coz_> [snake],  ooo that's odd

[20:32] <Tropic> hi, somebody can help me? i have one problem whit hardware wireless usb (sorry my bad english)
[20:32] <tjiggi_fo> ablaze, the problem with using wubi is that not many people here use it, so not many know how to fix it :)
[20:32] <smw> [snake], it is actually very easy... if you are doing a reinstall. Otherwise, I would call it impossible.
[20:32] <arkani> where should I ask Xubuntu related question?
[20:33] <jorek> Tropic, which language?
[20:33] <ablaze> tjiggi_fo: it's true ::: well ::: where i can see log viewer???
[20:33] <IdleOne> arkani: #xubuntu
[20:33] <Tropic> italian :D
[20:33] <smw> [snake], only attempt if you think it would be fun to learn everything about the internals of ubuntu and want to try the impossible ;-)
[20:33] <IdleOne> !it | Tropic

[20:33] <arkani> thanks... but that #xubuntu is quite dead....
[20:34] <Tropic> i know thanks
[20:34] <[snake]> smw, oo! I have an idea... I get an Ubuntu 10.10 installer and use the user account linker thing... and then remove the 11.04?
[20:34] <IdleOne> Tropic: ok :)
[20:34] <ablaze> tjiggi_fo: but i m not able to start ubuntu :( :::
[20:34] <[snake]> smw, good idea?

[20:34] <Tropic> "for help"
[20:34] <amiuhle> I executed "make clean" as sudo, which then did "rm -r /usr/*". I cancelled as soon as I realized this, but /usr/bin was already gone. I did some research and right now my best solution is to copy /usr/bin from the Ubuntu CD, and then repair my packages. Does anyone have a better idea?
[20:34] <smw> [snake], I don't know of any user account linker thing...
[20:34] <tjiggi_fo> ablaze, do you have a live CD?
[20:34] <l403> mr_orange, try if you can boot into single user mode - terminal with root privilege http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/grub-boot-into-single-user-mode/
[20:34] <Archie18_> Hi all. I'm stuck here with a "ImportError: cannot import name Pool" when trying to "import multiprocessing" with Python2.6 on Ubuntu 10.10. Any hints?
[20:34] <hwilde> how to restore middle mouse paste function in 11.04 ?
[20:35] <ablaze> tjiggi_fo: yes i have a live USB
[20:35] <[snake]> smw, one time I was dualbooting Ubuntu and Windows Vista... and it asked me if I wanted to copy all of the files from vista to ubuntu.
[20:35] <mr_orange> l403, ok thank you
[20:35] <coz_> hwilde,   that should be enabled by default... when did this stop working?
[20:35] <MnCC> anyone know where the shortcuts on the menubar are stored ?
[20:35] <smw> [snake], yeah. I have a better idea.
[20:35] <hwilde> coz_, in 11.04.

[20:36] <meraqlix> Need Help with Ubuntu 11.04!

[20:36] <meraqlix> desktop
[20:36] <tjiggi_fo> ablaze, boot up into a live session and look for the wubi install in Program Files (or wherever) and the logs will be in /var/log/messages and /var/log/boot. use the date and time to try find when your first problem boot happened
[20:37] <coz_> hwilde,  in all honesty  I only use classic gnome and it works there,, I will have to log onto Unity to test it  hold on
[20:37] <meraqlix> i can se my desktop picture but Unify is missing!
[20:37] <meraqlix> After an update
[20:37] <meraqlix> ???
[20:37] <AceKing> Jordan_U, I restarted my PC and it's still showing Recent Documents
[20:37] <smw> [snake], I still have not updated to 11.04 ;-)
[20:37] <meraqlix> ANybody?
[20:37] <[snake]> smw, that's good. don't.
[20:37] <jrib> Archie18_: this is likely a #python question as « from multiprocessing import Pool » works fine here on 10.10.  Does that work for you?
[20:38] <ablaze> tjiggi_fo: ok ::: thanx ::: i m giving this a try ::: and i will tell u the results, if i found ::: thanx again
[20:38] <superr1> ciao
[20:38] <tjiggi_fo> ablaze, :)
[20:38] <Brandano> meraqlix: first thing to check is for (EE) lines in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[20:38] <smw> [snake], That is good to know. My opinion is that ubuntu needs to choose between "just working" and being on the "bleeding-edge". That used to be the same thing ;-)
[20:38] <hwilde> coz_, pain, huh?
[20:38] <coz_> hwilde,   well on my Unity set up ,, middle click paste works fine
[20:39] <hwilde> coz_, interesting
[20:39] <coz_> hwilde,  is this a clean install or an upgade from 10.10 ??
[20:40] <coun> anybody using Full Disc Encryption on 11.04?
[20:40] <coz_> coun,  I am not ...sorry
[20:40] <Jordan_U> AceKing: Is it showing recent documents from before rming .local/share/zeitgeist/activity.sqlite ?
[20:41] <AceKing> Jordan_U, Yes
[20:41] <meraqlix> Brandano: How to access terminal? All my menues are missing
[20:41] <coun> @meraqlix, wat u mean menus missing?
[20:41] <l403> meraqlix, alt+F2 and run xterm
[20:42] <Brandano> meraqlix:  Ah, so you are only missing the UI? then xorg will be fine
[20:42] <MnCC> prob no unity support, gives a blank screen
[20:42] <arscariosus> anyone here who has installed ubuntu 11.04 on hp mini 210?
[20:42] <kwtm> [snake]: Do you want to consider downgrading to 10.04?  (Long-Term Support edition).
[20:42] <coun> uhh. I'm so sick of gnome 2x
[20:42] <[snake]> kwtm, prefferably 10.10, but that would also work.
[20:42] <meraqlix> Yep, the UI is missing after update to Ubuntu 11.01
[20:42] <PeterJCLaw> anyone (else) tried using libphp--simplepie under 11.04
[20:43] <MnCC> anyone know where the shortcuts on the menubar are stored ?
[20:43] <meraqlix> 11.04
[20:43] <Brandano> meraqlix: anyway, CTRL+ALT+F1 will give you a terminal window, CTRL+ALT+F7 will return you to the graphical environment
[20:43] <kwtm> [snake]: Maybe, but 10.10 is not supported for as long.  It's up to you.  I have only been using LTS editions (upgraded from 8.04 to 10.04).
[20:43] <jcapinc> how do I get X11 to use FGLRX and not ATI's free drivers?
[20:43] <coun> ctrl+alt=F1 is for debugging isn't it? use ctrl+alt+F2
[20:43] <botcity> hi guys is ubuntu tweak available from the repositories or an external site ?
[20:44] <MnCC> CLTR+ALT+T , gives a terminal window .. thats how i overcame my unity problems
[20:44] <coun> repos
[20:44] <[snake]> kwtm, eh, I just don't like the fact that my box is barely usable... yet it worked fine with 10.10
[20:44] <Brandano> meraqlix: you ought to be able to install gnome that way, and then select it from the login screen
[20:44] <kwtm> [snake]: If there is something that you need in 10.10 that's not in 10.04, then by all means.  In general I (and many others) do not feel the need to upgrade just because a new version has come out.
[20:44] <coun> ctrl+alt+T didn't work by default for me in 11.04. you have to add that shortcut.
[20:44] <hwilde> so nobody else has trouble with middle mouse paste?
[20:45] <kwtm> [snake]: I actually promote dual-booting into "newest" and "second-newest" versions, but if someone's computer is already set up not to dual-boot this, it's a bit of hassle to set it up.
[20:45] <MnCC> coun, is correct, you can also add a shortcut to gnome-terminal
[20:45] <coz_> Brandano,   one application/utility you may want to look into is easystroke,,, gesture recognition
[20:45] <coun> middle mouse paste working on my box
[20:45] <[snake]> kwtm, true... but I'm already passed 10.10... and into 11.04, I need to downgrade.
[20:45] <phed> hi guys, firefox 4.0.1, flashplugin-nonfree and using flashaid leaves with a black screen when full screen viewing youtube videos, could you point me in the direction of a fix please? using ubuntu 11.04 in classic mode with effects
[20:45] <kwtm> [snake]: But it is *really* robust, and you simply use Newest and then easily switch to Second-Newest if need be.
[20:45] <Brandano> coz_: for what exactly?
[20:45] <DarsVaeda> how do i uninstall gnome3 and reinstall unity or at least gnome2 on ubuntu 11.04?
[20:45] <koperino> hi there, after three days of getting "no new release found" no matter what I try can anybody help me?????
[20:45] <l403> !help
[20:45] <coz_> Brandano,  it is by far ,, in my opinion ,, the top companion application for linux / compiz
[20:45] <kwtm> [snake]: Anyway, just something to think about.  Watch out for 11.10. :)
[20:45] <jcapinc> I should not have updated
[20:45] <jcapinc> another terrible release
[20:45] <[snake]> :) lol
[20:45] <kwtm> koperino: I bet you're using 10.04 and it's looking for the next LTS edition, 12.04, right?
[20:45] <coun> @phed, try the Beta version of Flash available through flash-aid. Although I have blank screen prob too sometimes and don't know a fix
[20:45] <IdleOne> koperino: what version are you running?
[20:46] <Brandano> coz_: ah, I don't use compiz. Or Unity, for that matter. Still running 10.10 on my client and 10.04 on a server
[20:46] <coz_> Brandano,   opening applications  closing etc,,,  Unity is a pain in my opinion for ease of use  ,, easystroke makes it far less  of a  learning curve
[20:46] <coz_> Braiam,  aj pl
[20:46] <coz_> ah ok
[20:46] <koperino> Maverick and want to go to Natty
[20:46] <Jordan_U> AceKing: All the guides I see suggest that "rm ~/.local/share/zeitgeist/activity.sqlite && zeitgeist-daemon --replace" should do it.
[20:46] <[snake]> Dang it! my sombrero! I got coffee on it! :(
[20:46] <jcapinc> you dont want to go to natty
[20:46] <Braiam> coz_: ?
[20:46] <jcapinc> wait for the next lts
[20:46] <IdleOne> koperino: sudo do-release-upgrade
[20:46] <IdleOne> koperino: what does that give you?
[20:47] <rhin0> ubuntu 10.04 (LTS) comes with 2.6.32 kernel -- I need to INSTALL 2.6.33 or higher of that OS to get 'trim' on an SSD -- is there any 10.04 ISO snapshot with later kernel?
[20:47] <MnCC> who wanted something for firefox ?
[20:47] <coun> lol snake
[20:47] <Brandano> coz_: I am waiting for a bit while all the users tell Canonical why they don't like Unity and someone forks to Gubuntu :)
[20:47] <l403> what is in charge of playing ubuntu sound themes? where can I disable the themes or kill whatever is playing them?
[20:47] <koperino> no new release found
[20:47] <AceKing> Jordan_U, I'm going to try it again.
[20:47] <rhin0> because I really don't want to move off 10.04 -- but I want it on an SSD (so I need a later kernel)
[20:47] <Snakkah> I'm using Ubuntu Lucid 10.04, and I want to install "pianobar" It's an application that runs Pandora radio from the command line. It appears that it's only available in the Maverick and Natty repositories though. Would it be safe to get it (and its dependencies) from a Maverick repository even though I'm running Lucid?
[20:47] <jcapinc> yea I dont get why ubuntu is ditching gnome3
[20:47] <xro> hi, i have a THE question,... why did ubuntu change gnome to ubiquity?
[20:47] <AMAG> I've been trying to get some help with my graphics driver on Ubuntu 11.04 for several days, but no luck so far.  In the "Additional Drivers" tool, my NVIDIA driver has the green dot, yet the tool says "This driver is activated but not currently in use."  Help please.
[20:47] <coun> @rhin0, if you want SSD, i think it best to use 10.10 or 11.04
[20:47] <IdleOne> koperino: lsb_release -a     what Version number does it report?
[20:47] <MnCC> phed, you there ?
[20:48] <phed> just trying beta version mate in flash aid
[20:48] <Brandano> Snakkah: you should look into either adding a PPA or enabling the backports repository
[20:48] <fcuk112> how to check currently installed mesa version?
[20:48] <coun> @Brandano, Unity is awesome. I was actually thinking of going back to Windows cause of sick of gnome2x. Unity is a huge improvement
[20:48] <coz_> Braiam,  well there is another distrobution in the works UGR  ubuntu gnome remix   using gnome3
[20:48] <MnCC> try this: env LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libGL.so.1 firefox-4.0 %u
[20:48] <l403> AMAG, did you look at your xorg.conf?
[20:48] <jcapinc> ubuntu 11.04 broke my compiz support baddly
[20:48] <rhin0> ok coun ty.
[20:48] <Snakkah> Brandano, I have the backports repo enabled.
[20:48] <koperino> Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
[20:48] <koperino> Description:	Ubuntu 10.10
[20:48] <koperino> Release:	10.10
[20:48] <koperino> Codename:	maverick
[20:48] <phed> no go on the beta
[20:48] <FloodBot1> koperino: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:48] <jcapinc> should not have upgraded
[20:48] <phed> MnCC, anything else to try?
[20:48] <Snakkah> And a PPA seems to be hard to come by for this little program.
[20:48] <Braiam> coz_: what're you talking about?
[20:48] <rhin0> coun do you know where my kit of screwdrivers is?
[20:49] <koperino> ok
[20:49] <coz_> Braiam,   sorryy wrong nick
[20:49] <coun> @AMAG  I have had nothing but trouble with NVIDIA graphics when trying 11.04. I'm done with NVIDIA.
[20:49] <MnCC> phed, open the properties of the firefox icon
[20:49] <coz_> Brandano,   UGR   ubuntu -gnome-remix  is in the works
[20:49] <bars0> rhin0: you can install later kernel from standard Ubuntu repository: as far as I remember 2.6.35
[20:49] <Gremlyn1> multi-monitor question: I have my laptop (on 10.04) with an HDMI->DVI cable plugged in to a second monitor. I have the laptop as display0, I think, as it has the menu/task bars, but programs are opening by default in display1 (the larger, desktop monitor). Anyone know how to alter that behaviour?
[20:49] <AMAG> l403: No, but I just have looked.  I have a Section "Device" which says Driver "nvidia" and no other Device sections
[20:49] <kwtm> rhin0: I see  linux-headers-2.6.35-23  as a possible package on my 10.04 (which I haven't installed, but still, it's there)
[20:49] <MnCC> paste: env LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libGL.so.1  in front of it
[20:49] <Brandano> coun: I don't use compiz because it's too fancy... I doubt I'd like Unity. On my netbook I switched back to UNR because it was making my life too difficult
[20:49] <AceKing> Jordan_U, This is what happens when I run that command. You'll see where it freezes up on me. http://paste.ubuntu.com/603443/
[20:49] <celthunder> coun: nvidia cards are still by far better supported than ati, just use the open source ones
[20:49] <rhin0> yes bars0 but I need to install it direct onto an ssd -- won't work with earlier kernel
[20:50] <rhin0> i'll just install 10.10
[20:50] <MnCC> open youtube and press fullscreen icon
[20:50] <AMAG> coun: nvidia cards have treated me better than others on Linux for more than 10 years.  I don't think you will be any happier with ATI.
[20:50] <x1o> hey, can anyone help me with my flash-buffering problem?
[20:50] <Snakkah> Brandano, it's not in the Lucid backports repo. :/
[20:50] <IdleOne> koperino: open Synaptic Package manager and go to Settings > Repositories, then click on the update tab, at the bottom make sure it is set to Normal Releases.
[20:50] <ablaze> tjiggi_fo: i will find the log and boot files in system folder of my live session's system file or it should be elsewhere ::: because i m not able to find this in my system except in live session's sytem files :::
[20:50] <l403> AMAG also check sudo lsmod that lists the loaded modules aka drivers
[20:50] <kwtm> rhin0: Disagree with coun: stay with 10.04 unless you need to.  (Whether you need to is up to you, but if linux 2.6.35 is there for 10.04, just stay with it)
[20:50] <Brandano> Snakkah: try grabbing the deb from Maverik, but expect possible problems. Try it in a chroot first, perhaps?
[20:51] <x1o> i wonder where it comes from, flash only buffers about 1 minute of streaming-videos
[20:51] <coun> @Brandano, I never used Compiz before because it was too fancy. You don't have to use cmopiz for Unity. Just install 11.04. and it works
[20:51] <rhin0> yes kwtm but how would I INSTALL 10.04 with a 2.6.35 -- can't INSTALL it with lower kernel & then upgrade
[20:51] <AMAG> lsmod |grep nvidia  does indeed show a module called "nvidia" that is loaded, and dmesg |grep -i taint shows me that loading this module taints the kernel
[20:51] <kwtm> rhin0: Okay.
[20:51] <Snakkah> Mmm...maybe. I'll let you know what happens. I expect dependency problems though,.
[20:51] <phed> paste env LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libGL.so.1 into where, do you mean the firefox launcher properties?
[20:51] <ikonia> rhin0: you want to install ubuntu with a lower kernel than is provided ?
[20:51] <rhin0> kwtm 10.04 comes with the earlier kernel -- can't install it so then I can't upgrade
[20:52]  * Brandano is the odd sort of Ubuntu user that spends a lot of time on the command prompt
[20:52] <Jordan_U> AceKing: And you still see old history?
[20:52] <MnCC> phed, and ?
[20:52] <ikonia> rhin0: 10.04.2 has a later updates
[20:52] <l403> !sound > l403
[20:52] <coun> @celthunder: that's what I've herad, nvidia better supported. But they give me nothing but trouble with Unity. AMD/ATI radeon and Intel integrated give zero problems so far with Unity.
[20:52] <kwtm> Brandano: Does that count as odd?
[20:52] <Brandano> terminal window, if you like
[20:52] <koperino> did that, must say I was updating when internet fell away, since then problems
[20:52] <rhin0> no ikonia I'm saying its impossible to install 10.04 on an ssd because it ships with < 2.6.33 kernel -- you cannot get it onto the drive - coun is right
[20:52] <phed> lol sorry, ill re-phrase, do i just paste in front of the firefox command?
[20:52] <AceKing> Jordan_U, Yes, it's still shows
[20:52] <rhin0> what kernel is 10.04.2? pls?
[20:52]  * ikonia wishes brandon would be the odder person who doesn't use the /me command trying to be l33t with command line comments
[20:52] <MnCC> phed, yeah
[20:52] <tjiggi_fo> ablaze, if you go to Places, Computer you should find a "FileSystem" entry (NTFS) that includes your windows files
[20:52] <Brandano> kwtm: depends. You are not supposed to spend time tweaking the OS, should just work
[20:52] <Jordan_U> AceKing: Try "rm ~/.local/share/zeitgeist/activity.sqlite && mkdir ~/.local/share/zeitgeist/activity.sqlite".
[20:52] <ikonia> rhin0: I've got 8.04 working on an SSD drive here
[20:53] <Jordan_U> AceKing: Then log out and back in again.
[20:53] <rhin0> you'll have a > 2.6.33 kernel ikonia yes?
[20:53] <phed> WINNING
[20:53] <ikonia> no
[20:53] <maxb> Jordan_U: mkdir?
[20:53] <rhin0> its all for "trim"
[20:53] <phed> +10 internets to MnCC
[20:53] <phed> thanks very much dude
[20:53] <kwtm> Brandano: ?? I spend a lot of time on the command line, but I don't tweak the OS.  You mean, then, that you'd expect the command line to be for tweaking the OS?  I see.  I just use vim and ssh a lot.
[20:53] <AceKing> Jordan_U, Ok, I'll come back and let you know. Thank you
[20:53] <ikonia> rhin0: ahhh you want the trim options, ok
[20:53] <MnCC> phed, nice
[20:53] <ikonia> kwtm: ignore it, he's trying to make it sound like he's hard core
[20:53] <IdleOne> koperino: sudo apt-get -f install
[20:53] <Jordan_U> maxb: If there's a directory there then zeitgeist can't write it's database there. It's a bit ugly but...
[20:53] <Brandano> kwtm: nah, in my case is to install and compile stuff, mainly
[20:54] <AMAG> l403: so it is certainly loaded into the kernel, but it appears X is not using it?
[20:54] <coun> @celthunder: how exactly do I install the open source NVIDIA drivers? be great to get unity working on my nvidia machines
[20:54] <IdleOne> koperino: please prefix any response to me with my name, as you can see this channel is very busy and hard to keep up at times :)
[20:54] <xro> will ubuntu stop using gnome? should i use KDE instead???
[20:54] <phibxr> coun, why don't you use the binary drivers?
[20:54] <Brandano> kwtm: I got used to PuTTY for SSH on Window. I really ought to use the SSH client from the command line, but it's hard to shake ingrained habits
[20:54] <kwtm> Brandano: Installing stuff is tweaking the OS?  Compiling stuff is tweaking the OS?  Wait ... um.... actually, never mind.  My, what lovely weather we're having!
[20:55] <coun> rhin0, i think you best to use 1010 or 1104 to avoid trouble
[20:55] <Brandano> kwtm: no, neither is, but Ubuntu is not the frieldliest environment to work with non-standard libs
[20:55] <rhin0> willdo coun
[20:55] <koperino> Idle0ne : sorry first time here never had problems with ubuntu . Nothing happens tried that before
[20:55] <Brandano> *friendliest
[20:55] <celthunder> coun: uninstall and modprobe -r the proprietary ones and install the open source ones and modprobe them up
[20:55] <l403> AMAG, can you run sudo nvidia-xconfig ?
[20:56] <IdleOne> koperino: hmm, not getting any errors?
[20:56] <coun> @rhin0: 10.04 kernel does NOT have TRIM
[20:56] <oddchild> My ubuntu server keeps shutting down at 1AM every night. I cannot find out what started this or how to stop it. When I do a abort on the shutdown it doesnt see any
[20:56] <kwtm> Brandano: ? I use PuTTY, too, when I have to use Windows.  Not sure what's different between the two except I can't script the Windows version.  I haven't felt that Ubuntu does not have a friendly environment, but then I don't work a lot with their libraries.
[20:56] <coun> @phibxr: you mean NVIDIA? what binary drivers?
[20:57] <AceKing> Jordan_U, I'm still seeing recent documents. When I ran the command you gave me in Terminal, it came right back to the prompt. Was I supposed to see it running like the other one that was hanging up?
[20:57] <meraqlix> back
[20:57] <Jordan_U> AceKing: No.
[20:57] <meraqlix> sorry did a restart
[20:57] <phibxr> coun, the nvidia closed-source binary drivers. actually, they installed on first boot for me.
[20:57] <phed> putty is nice but try mremote on windows
[20:57] <phed> its awesome
[20:57] <Jordan_U> AceKing: Did you log out and back in again?
[20:57] <koperino> Idle0ne : no just  0 packets,  install, 0 packets removed,......
[20:57] <meraqlix> what did I miss about the missing GUI
[20:57] <AceKing> Jordan_U, Yes
[20:57] <edbian> koperino: packages, not packets
[20:57] <Snakkah> Brandano, just installed pianobar along with its dependencies (it had two dependencies that installed without a hitch). :D
[20:57] <Ap0c4lyptic0> hi all
[20:57] <Brandano> kwtm: not much difference. Putty allows you to store session parameters, and shows a black terminal background
[20:58] <AceKing> Jordan_U, I didn't have to completely restart right?
[20:58] <koperino> edbian . sorry dutch version
[20:58] <Brandano> Snakkah: in a chroot?
[20:58] <IdleOne> koperino: ok sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo do-release-upgrade
[20:58] <Ap0c4lyptic0> i have a little problem with virtual box can i type here?
[20:58] <vuxor> ello
[20:58] <edbian> koperino: no worries
[20:58] <kwtm> phed: In what way is it better than putty?  I just started at a new work environment and all they run is Windows.  I just went with PuTTy which was easy to find through the corporate firewall and install onto some directory.
[20:58] <Jordan_U> AceKing: Shouldn't have to.
[20:58] <Gremlyn1> sorry to repeat, but I didn't see an answer: I have my laptop (on 10.04) with an HDMI->DVI cable plugged in to a second monitor. I have the laptop as display0, I think, as it has the menu/task bars, but programs are opening only in display1 (the larger, desktop monitor).  When I do this, graphics just work. So whatever default driver Ubuntu is using is working. BUT it won't do Unity 3D even though my graphics card supports 3D with the proprietary NVIDIA driver
[20:58] <Snakkah> Brandano, no. Do I need to chroot?
[20:58] <Jordan_U> AceKing: What is the output of "ls -ld ~/.local/share/zeitgeist/activity.sqlite"?
[20:58] <phed> more complete it allows for rdp, ssh, vnc, rdp
[20:58] <phed> oops
[20:58] <phed> rlogin
[20:58] <ardchoille> !bugs > ardchoille
[20:59] <Brandano> So, any idea why the landscape data in MOTD is written twice, witht he second set being a stale copy?
[20:59] <phibxr> Gremlyn1, under screen settings you should be able to drag your primary monitor to the left, or select it.
[20:59] <Jasonn> !bugs > Jasonn
[20:59] <l403> what is in charge of playing ubuntu sound themes? where can I disable the themes or kill whatever is playing them?
[20:59] <phibxr> Gremlyn1, <super>, monitor
[20:59] <phed> and other things, the interface is much nicer plus you can have multiple sessions in one window
[20:59] <MnCC> where does unity store my favorite apps ?
[20:59] <Brandano> Snakkah: no, you don't. It was just a safety in case it tried to replace stuff it ought not to
[20:59] <kwtm> Brandano: ?  Not sure what you mean.  You mean you can just invoke it with "ssh" instead of "ssh myserver.mydomain.com -p <portnum> -l <login> -v"?  Black terminal background just depends on your terminal, I guess --I always had a black terminal background, wasn't aware that it didn't come that way in Ubuntu.  Must've set it way back when I was using 6.06.
[20:59] <AMAG> l403: that has added numerous blocks to my xorg.conf file, but restarting the PC still didn't get it to actually use the driver.  The "Additional Drivers" tool still says the same thing
[20:59] <Snakkah> Brandano: Regardless, I have a new problem. pianobar isn't doing its normal action. It normally asks for your username (your Pandora email) and password. I put those in and it says "Error: Protocol incompatible. Please upgrade libpiano."
[20:59] <coun> @phibxr: so the default ones are the open source ones? These won't do Unity 3D. Although the proprietary one do do 3D when I'm using Windows XP
