[16:13] <oCean> assink: boot from livecd and fix the filesystems
[16:14] <assink> oCean: thats what i was thinking about now yes. but strange thing is that this is the 2nd time after updating. i was wondering if that question came here before. of its a dual-boot btw
[16:14] <oCean> assink: currently checking the bugspages, but not finding anything relevant
[16:15] <LekeFly> BluesKaj: http://pastebin.com/D6pHh5uZ
[16:15] <gulzar> whenever I run conky it opens as a black screen with white fonts..... nothing to do... how to configure it?
[16:15] <assink> oCean: just searched for hours too already yes, just doesnt make sense at all
[16:16] <craigbass1976> ok, so I got this new monitor last week.  Things worked fine, but I wanted a wider resolution.  I disabled (I think uninstalled) the proprietary driver and then was going to reinstall it.  When I rebooted, I still couldn't get the resolution that the monitor is capable of.  I updated.  Now I can't see anything.  X is working (I can log in and fire up things remotely) but I'm blind if actually sitting at the box
[16:16] <nomad_man> LekeFly: you should be running it from X-windows env
[16:16] <LekeFly> nomad_man: huh? this is from mac to ubuntu btw
[16:16] <laumonier> is it possible to simply disable a paquet without uninstall it if yes plz tell me the command to disable paquet and the commmand to enable it again thx
[16:17] <nomad_man> LekeFly: ah, i missed the question anyhow was just making a guess.  The error message suggests that nautilus is not finding the X session display variable.
[16:17] <ImDexter> is ff 5 the default for 11.04?
[16:17] <nomad_man> i dont' believe sudo passes any ENV variables
[16:18] <craigbass1976> keyboard and mouse are unresponsive as well
[16:18] <nomad_man> laumonier: packages are usually cached on local system you should be able to re-intsall it without downloading it
[16:18] <LekeFly> nomad_man: ideas how to fix it?
[16:18] <nomad_man> LekeFly: are you running gnome?
[16:18] <nomad_man> LekeFly: or kde?
[16:18] <laumonier> so with a apt-get remove i can reinstall paquet wihout download it?
[16:19] <LekeFly> nomad_man: Prolly? its default ubuntu 11.04 at least
[16:19] <nomad_man> laumonier: iirc.
[16:19] <andrenkov> gulzar: where can i find the md5sum on ubuntu.com ?
[16:19] <nomad_man> LekeFly: i haven't used windowed env in a long time :)  what are you actually trying to do?
[16:19] <andrenkov> gulzar: mine is 8b1085bed498b82ef1485ef19074c281
[16:19] <gulzar> andrenkov: which OS is it?
[16:19] <nomad_man> LekeFly: try gksudo
[16:19] <rileyp> http://www.pcmediacenter.com.au/foru...ouch-via-wifi/ Am I doing it the hard way?
[16:20] <andrenkov> gulzar: 11.4
[16:20] <LekeFly> nomad_man: I cant connect via remote desktop
[16:20] <datacrusher> hello, im having some issues with networking with an specific user. Iv accidentaly choosed to hibernate, or suspend (cant remenber, clicked by accidend) trying to choose shutdown. Now the nm-applet dont appear for this user. Im on this same machine, with my user and networking is fine
[16:20] <nomad_man> LekeFly: sorry, could you describe the full problem again?
[16:20] <gulzar> andrenkov: which 32, 64 and which one?
[16:20] <andrenkov> 32
[16:20] <datacrusher> is there a way to clear some trigger for this hibernate / suspend bug? or to simply get back networking for this user?
[16:20] <andrenkov> gulzar: ubuntu 11.04 32 bit desktop
[16:21] <gulzar> andrenkov: wait I wll match it........
[16:21] <LekeFly> nomad_man: Sure, i have setup remote desktop on ubuntu but when im trying to connect i just get "connection refused"
[16:21] <RA_drc> hi, which version(s) of ubuntu are compatible with the 2.6.34 kernel?
[16:22] <ImDexter> i want to install ff 4 alongside my ff 5, tips please?
[16:22] <LekeFly> nomad_man: Tryed ARD, Jolly, Chicken of vnc..
[16:22] <nomad_man> LekeFly: does it just refuse connection?
[16:22] <Keeaanu> how to set failsafe graphic mode as my default mode
[16:22] <Keeaanu> how to set failsafe graphic mode as my default mode
[16:22] <Keeaanu> how to set failsafe graphic mode as my default mode
[16:22] <LekeFly> nomad_man: yes .. ssh works tho
[16:22] <nomad_man> Keeaanu: they saw it the first time
[16:23] <Keeaanu> ok
[16:23] <Keeaanu> just not to miss
[16:23] <nomad_man> LekeFly: are you sshing from non linux/unix machine?
[16:23] <LekeFly> nomad_man: a mac yeah
[16:23] <gulzar> andrenkov: congrats its same https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes
[16:23] <nomad_man> LekeFly: hrm... i am not sure if the windows display are compatible, but what you can try is setup  X-Fowrding on sshd
[16:24] <gulzar> andrenkov: now what is the main problem while installing?
[16:24] <Keeaanu> anybody? how to set failsafe graphic mode as my default mode
[16:24] <LekeFly> nomad_man: i have used remote desktop on ubuntu before so :S
[16:25] <nomad_man> LekeFly: i know i'm not solving your problem, but just going to the path of least resistance.  Mac is BSD based so in theory hsould work.  without any remode desktop management software
[16:25] <andrenkov> gulzar: it says something like the CD might be faulty or the hard disk ...
[16:25] <andrenkov> gulzar: Error 5 ....
[16:25] <nomad_man> LekeFly: but it just refuses the connection. so ther eis probably a few things happening here.  either firewall configuraiton or daemon is not running
[16:25] <gulzar> andrenkov: then burn the CD again with LOWEST possible speed......
[16:25] <andrenkov> gulzar: I think the CD is faulty
[16:26] <andrenkov> gulzar: ok thanks
[16:26] <gulzar> andrenkov: and check again
[16:26] <datacrusher> anyone?
[16:26] <nomad_man> datacrusher: what was the question? i just joined
[16:26] <gulzar> andrenkov: its late .... already 9pm here.......I have to go..... meet tommorrow.......

[16:29] <RA_drc> hi, which version(s) of ubuntu are compatible with the 2.6.34 kernel?
[16:29] <edbian> datacrusher: Add the notification icon to his panel?
[16:29] <braiam> ImDexter: include -profilemanager in the command line
[16:29] <edbian> datacrusher: I"m not sure
[16:29] <zer010> ...I'm in the process of installing an hp printer via terminal and it's asking me for a location description...
[16:29] <Keeaanu> i would better google mysel.
[16:29] <nomad_man> LekeFly: hrm.  it's been too long for me.  did you restart the sshd?
[16:30] <braiam> zer010: didn't offer you to download the drivers?
[16:30] <ImDexter> braiam, could you paste the whole command?
[16:30] <van7hu> og, what is that
[16:31] <edbian> ImDexter: firefox -profilemanager  (but no other instances of firefox can be running!)
[16:31] <craigbass1976> All I get is a blinking cursor after boot.  Everything else seems to be working (network, LAMP, etc) but I can't see anything
[16:31] <zer010> Yes, it's past that one. I gave it a name and now it wants a description...Something like "HOME" or something else?
[16:31] <braiam> ImDexter: ┬½firefox -profilemanager┬╗
[16:32] <bhavesh> I added a repository by >> sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner"  how can I remove it?

[16:34] <craigbass1976> Is there something in var log that will tell me what's going on?  I dont' see anythign fishy in boot.log or syslog
[16:35] <bhavesh> is lucid partner repository needed on my ubuntu 10.10?
[16:35] <Mion> sabgenton: btw, use gpt if you can

[16:37] <RA_drc> hi, which version(s) of ubuntu are compatible with the 2.6.34 kernel?
[16:39] <jrib> jhala: content-type
[16:39] <phox_> Hi! I'm making a front-end for my music system. I want my pc with ubuntu to automaticcly start a certain music player at start up, and nothing else. Not enter the desktop, just the program. Possible?
[16:40] <jhala> jrib: content-type . there is no php.
[16:40] <assink> phox_: ofcourse its possible
[16:40] <assink> phox_: you should start X with a music player
[16:40] <jhala> jrib: but curl returned 200 OK
[16:40] <bullgard4> How can I determine what display resolution {in DPI} my GNOME 2.32.1 assumes?
[16:40] <jrib> jhala: what is it
[16:40] <nomad_man> LekeFly: any luck?
[16:41] <phox_> assink: Ok, how would I go about doing that? Install server version, and then install spotify from there and make it auto start?
[16:41] <maco> bullgard4: for fonts gnome always assumes 96 dpi
[16:41] <nomad_man> phox_: you would probably play around with init.rd and your run level configurations. you can configure what starts at what runlevel
[16:41] <jrib> bullgard4: xdpyinfo mayb.e
[16:42] <assink> phox_: what nomad_man sais :)
[16:42] <phox_> nomad and assink: ok, ill look into that. thx
[16:42] <nomad_man> phox_: it's one big constructor. which makes it fun :)
[16:43] <escott> phox_, create a special x session in /etc/X11/ and set that up to auto-login
[16:43] <mrwizeguy1983> does anyone here use gnome 3 with ubuntu?
[16:44] <jhala> jrib:

[16:44] <assink> Ertyle:
[16:44] <jrib> jhala: ?
[16:44] <escott> weirba, what do you mean by that?
[16:44] <phox_> nomad assink and escott: Ok, could you link me some material on the matter?
[16:44] <jhala> jrib: can you repeat the command. i seem to have missed it
[16:44] <mrwizeguy1983> weirba, trying to make the folder /home/user/Desktop read only?
[16:44] <nomad_man> weirba: you can probalby change the owner/ship permissions on the ~/.Desktop
[16:44] <weirba> escott:  I want to create a desktop profile and not allow any user without a password to modify it
[16:44] <jrib> jhala: this is not what I am concerned about.  Try "curl -I http://pastebin.com/login.php"
[16:45] <savid> Does anyone know why when I create a chrome application shortcut,  it doesn't show up as its own window in the unity panel?
[16:45] <weirba> mrwizeguy1983:  I think so yes
[16:45] <braiam> I'm getting I/O errors in loffice.bin trying to open a docx file. this is a know bug or there is something wrong with mi file?
[16:45] <jhala> jrib: Content-Type: text/html
[16:45] <mrwizeguy1983> weirba, you should be able to set permissions for group to wrx and permissions for others to rx
[16:45] <ikonia> Vanadis: loffice.bin, where did you get that ?
[16:45] <jrib> jhala: good.  Try clearing firefox's history and cache
[16:45] <ImDexter> i want to install ff 4 alongside my ff 5, tips please?
[16:45] <Abhijit> braiam, for any known reported bug you can try searching in launchpad
[16:46] <ikonia> ImDexter: firefox 5 isn't out
[16:46] <escott> weirba, like a temp session they log in and then it gets reset on the next load. usually one would do this with some kind of read only /home and a read-write unionfs on top of it. a simpler way may be to have two directories in /home one for guest and one for guest-template and modify the logout/gdm scripts to rm -rf guest and cp -r guest-template guest
[16:46] <jhala> jrib: done
[16:46] <ImDexter> ikonia, my machine uses ff 5 as the default, Id prefer ff 4
[16:46] <jrib> jhala: does the issue persist?
[16:46] <ikonia> ImDexter: no it doesn't, firefox 5 isn't out
[16:46] <jhala> jrib: yes.
[16:46] <ImDexter> ikonia, my machine uses ff 5 as the default, Id prefer ff 4
[16:46] <jrib> jhala: experiment with a different browser
[16:47] <ikonia> ImDexter: it doesn't, firefox 5 isn't out
[16:47] <jhala> jrib: on opera also same problem
[16:47] <ikonia> ImDexter: what version of ubuntu are you using
[16:47] <weirba> escott:  I like the idea.  How do I go about it.  I am wanting students to see a desktop but if they delete the icons on next load they reappear.
[16:47] <mrwizeguy1983> ImDexter, i'd install ff 4 from the ppa and synaptic, and use the binary to install ff5.  they'll be separate that way
[16:47] <jrib> jhala: create fresh new user.  Does the issue persist?
[16:47] <nomad_man> phox_: something like this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5490861/how-do-i-automatically-start-an-application-that-needs-x-in-linux
[16:47] <mrwizeguy1983> ikonia, ever heard of an alpha??
[16:47] <ImDexter> ill try that 1983
[16:47] <ikonia> mrwizeguy1983: yes, it's not out yet
[16:47] <weirba> mrwizeguy1983:  How do I go about setting permissions to a desktop.  I think what you say is what I would like to try.
[16:48] <mrwizeguy1983> funny ikonia i've got a version of firefox 6, it's called nightly
[16:48] <nomad_man> phox_: but without the login,  imo, you will need to read the docs for that
[16:48] <jhala> jrib: i pasted as anonymous
[16:48] <Abhijit> !permissions | weirba
[16:48] <jrib> jhala: I mean ubuntu user
[16:48] <ikonia> mrwizeguy1983: I'll repeat again - it's not out yet, there your ubuntu OS will not be using that as "default" as ImDexter suggested.
[16:48] <ImDexter> i see ikonia, now you know my machine better than me, Im seeing allucinations
[16:48] <mrwizeguy1983> weirba, the other guy might have had a better idea, but for doing literally what you asked for, you should be able to use the chmod command.  if you want the user themself to not be able to change anything then you need to use chown to change the owner of the directory
[16:49] <phox_> nomad_man: thx
[16:49] <nomad_man> so, i can pin an older package but, but i can't do the reverse and upgrade to a newer without full upgrade to a sys?
[16:49] <ikonia> ImDexter: what version of ubuntu are you using ?
[16:49] <mrwizeguy1983> ImDexter, ignore ikonia seriously, i've had an alpha version of firefox 6 on my windows 7 as well as ubuntu for at least a month
[16:49] <weirba> ubottu:  Thanks
[16:50] <jhala> jrib: i get IOError: ('http protocol error', 0, 'got a bad status line', None) when i try pastebinit -i <file>
[16:50] <rileyp> http://www.pcmediacenter.com.au/forum/topic/44458-mythtv-recordings-downloaded-onto-your-iphoneipod-touch-via-wifi/page__pid__318661#entry318661
[16:50] <weirba> mrwizeguy1983:  Thanks I will do some research on chmod and chown
[16:50] <rileyp> Am i doing it the hard way?
[16:50] <escott> weirba, I would look at the livecd and see how it works (I assume it uses some kind of unionfs) or take a look at edubuntu they may have what you need out of the box. google for ubuntu kiosk and you should get lots of results
[16:50] <ikonia> ImDexter: what version of ubuntu are you using ?
[16:50] <escott> weirba, i dont think chmod'ing the ~/Desktop folder will do what you need.
, the thing is, I dont know how it got there, must be a ppa, but I cannot figure out which one: Id like to revert, or to install alongside this curret ff5 the stable ff4 to have all my add ons working
[16:51] <ikonia> ImDexter: what version of ubuntu are you using ?
[16:51] <weirba> escott:  I actually have edubuntu and what they have out of the box doesn't work anymore.  It was sabayon.
[16:51] <IdleOne> ImDexter: ubuntu 11.04 comes with ff4 as default
[16:52] <mrwizeguy1983> IdleOne, did you recieve my pm?
[16:52] <escott> phox_, not familiar with any material on this but its just a custom xinitrc or xsession
[16:52] <Jrekko> Can anyone help me install Ubuntu? Having a strange problem no one else seems to have..
[16:52] <hypatia> Jrekko: what's up?
[16:52] <Jrekko> During installation, it gets stuck while loading
[16:53] <Jrekko> at the part where there are those dots
[16:53] <escott> phox_, meaning sabayon doesn't work with unity/11.04?
[16:53] <escott> weirba, ^^ not phox_
[16:54] <hypatia> Jrekko: at the very first menu, maybe try one of the options that come up when you press f6?
[16:54] <hypatia> Jrekko: what kinda hardware is it?
[16:54] <escott> Jrekko, press the up arrow what does it say
[16:55] <nicolas__> hi guys
[16:55] <jhala> jrib: i installed firebug and in console got this : services.addons.mozilla.org : server does not support RFC 5746, see CVE-2009-3555
[16:55] <jhala> services.addons.mozilla.org : server does not support RFC 5746, see CVE-2009-3555
[16:55] <hypatia> Jrekko: please keep it in the channel so others can benefit from it; if you need to paste a bunch of text, use pastebin.com
[16:56] <jhala> jrib: what is this?
[16:56] <Jrekko> Alright, one minute ill get my hardware
[16:56] <Jrekko> what exactly do you need to know ?
[16:57] <hypatia> Jrekko: laptop or desktop, for starters :)
[16:57] <Jrekko> Desktop
[16:57] <craigbass1976> Oh wait... this is even better.  I get the ubuntu splash screen when I shut hte box off remotely
[16:57] <jrib> Jrekko: do not know
[16:57] <bullgard4> jrib: '~xdpyinfo; screen#0: dimensions: 1680x1050 (444x227 millimeters).' But my display screen has the dimensions 332x208 mm. How can I tell that my X server?
[16:57] <jrib> jhala: do not know
[16:57] <jrib> bullgard4: don't know
[16:57] <hypatia> Jrekko: amount of ram, type of processor, type of bios
[16:57] <hypatia> Jrekko: oh and video card is important
[16:58] <escott> bullgard4, xrandr should be able to do that (nvidia doesnt support all xrandr features)
[16:58] <Jrekko> Video card is NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250
[16:58] <Jrekko> processor is AMD Anthlon II X2 240
[16:59] <Jrekko> 2 GB of ram..
[16:59] <escott> Jrekko, when you are still at the plymouth splash screen (with the dots that change colors) you can press the up arrow and see text messages. one of those may indicate the problem
[16:59] <Jrekko> i took off the 'quiet splash' thing
[16:59] <hypatia> Jrekko: ok, can you try rebooting and hitting f6 at the "try ubuntu, install ubuntu" etc screen; and pick acpi=off, noapic, and nolapic?
[16:59] <Jrekko> and it seemed to freeze when it began 'swap' ?
[17:00] <Jrekko> i already tried all of those
[17:00] <Jrekko> nothing worked
[17:00] <hypatia> Jrekko: wait a sec, did it install, or is it the live environment that's failing?
[17:00] <mrwizeguy1983> there doesn't seem to be anyone home in #gnome
[17:00] <Jrekko> just freezes after like 2 minutes, doesnt install
[17:00] <mrwizeguy1983> anyone know a place to get some info on gnome 3 other than #gnome ?
[17:01] <escott> mrwizeguy1983, try #fedora
[17:01] <hypatia> Jrekko: and that's with acpi=off, noapic, and nolapic selected?
[17:01] <ikonia> mrwizeguy1983: #gnome isn't on this network, try gimpnet.org
[17:01] <Jrekko> Yes
[17:01] <ikonia> mrwizeguy1983: that's the official channel and it's quite active
[17:01] <mrwizeguy1983> escott, thanks for the idea
[17:01] <hypatia> Jrekko: bummer, i'm not sure what to try next :/
[17:02] <mrwizeguy1983> and ikonia that would explain why it's so quiet in there
[17:02] <Jrekko> Dont blame you, no one seems to know what the problem is
[17:02] <Jrekko> Guess its bad luck ?
[17:02] <hypatia> Jrekko: or bad hardware :/
[17:02] <hypatia> Jrekko: try a ram test?
[17:02] <Jrekko> It might be my video card
[17:02] <Jrekko> people were saying that sometimes ubuntu has problems with different types of video cards
[17:02] <hypatia> Jrekko: do you have another to test with? also, please highlight my nick so i can see your messages more easily
[17:04] <Jrekko> how do i highlight your nick ?
[17:04] <craigbass1976> how do I install gnome on lubuntu?  gonome-desktop?
[17:04] <hypatia> Jrekko: start typing it and hit tab, your client should autocomplete it
[17:05] <BlouBlou> craigbass1976: ubuntu-desktop = ubuntu applications. You should install gnome
[17:05] <Jrekko> hypatia: thanks, I may have another I can test with
[17:05] <hypatia> Jrekko: it's useful in a busy channel so it's easier to spot messages :)
[17:05] <hypatia> Jrekko: any chance the mobo has an onboard video card?
[17:05] <Jrekko> hypatia: Dont think so
[17:05] <Jrekko> hypatia: I may have some radeon, but i dont think its very powerful
[17:06] <hypatia> Jrekko: power doesn't matter, it'll let us eliminate the video card as a problem :)
[17:06] <hypatia> Jrekko: i'd test the ram first though
[17:07] <Jrekko> hypatia: alright, ill test the ram. Brb
[17:07] <hypatia> Jrekko: good luck!

[17:12] <mrwizeguy1983> ck do you mean you want to use ubuntu classic instead of unity?
[17:13] <escott> dp, /etc/profile
[17:13] <phong_> hi
[17:13] <escott> dp, nothing will force applications to use that proxy, its entirely optional
[17:14] <dp> escott: and if it's for a specific user?
[17:14] <phong_> why my wifi speed slower then when i use on windows 7 ?
[17:14] <vooze> I recently used a command to whitelist all to use systray, how can i reverse that?

[17:14] <escott> dp, /home/user/profile
[17:14] <phong_> is something wrong with wifi ?
[17:14] <Jrekko> hypatia: Me again
[17:14] <vooze> phong_: works fine here ;)
[17:14] <ikonia> phong_: your wifi kernel module may not be as well supported as the windows version, therefore giving weaker signal
[17:15] <phong_> it works for me too, but for some reason, it doesn't get full speed or something
[17:15] <MagicJ> I have a standard ubuntu - when I put a DVD in the player it appears to read it and asks me if I want ti sart movie player, then movie player rells me that it can nt read the disk - do I need to add something to allow it to decode commercial DVDs, if so, what?

[17:16] <mrwizeguy1983> well, that's a funny one, that was so easy it should have been macintosh style
[17:16] <mrwizeguy1983> i think the crash was what made it lose the info
[17:16] <mrwizeguy1983> the log out and back in worked
[17:16] <escott> !info initramfs-tools | RA_drc
[17:17] <bullgard4> escott: '~$ man xrandr; Xrandr can also be used to set the screen size.' Will be '~$ xrandr --fbmm 332x208' the correct syntax?

[17:18] <escott> bullgard4, sure
[17:18] <hypatia> Jrekko: trying the other card is just to see if the nvidia one is the source of the problem - we're just trying to narrow it down
[17:18] <RA_drc> escott: i already have those installed
[17:19] <escott> RA_drc, then man initramfs-tools
[17:19] <ck> Not sure what you mean...I just want the new scene to have a camera, light and a cube with no extra ghosts that screw with my work later.
[17:20] <Jrekko> hypatia: Alright, I will. But should I have windows xp installed, if I remove my video card, won't that screw things up ?
[17:21] <rhin0> anyone know how I get a password issued in a sudo command within a shell script?  -- sudo will manually ask for the password
[17:21] <escott> rhin0, that would be really insecure use setuid bit
[17:22] <rhin0> I know its insecure but its necessary for some commands for instance within rc.local
[17:22] <escott> rhin0, rc.local should already be running as root
[17:22] <rhin0> ah
[17:22] <MagicJ> ikonia: ty - that lik was what I needed - ty so much

[17:24] <hypatia> Jrekko: but even xp will have a fallback video mode, and you can just swap the card back in

[17:24] <Jrekko> hypatia: Works great
[17:25] <Jrekko> hypatia: Mem test finished, it passed
[17:25] <hypatia> Jrekko: hmm. ok, i wouldn't bother trying the other vid card

[17:27] <rhin0> viva ubuntu!

[17:29] <phong_> oh
[17:29] <phong_> violetspie u have to do blacklist.conf
[17:29] <phong_> i got it to work but slow
[17:29] <Jrekko> hypatia: Does the same on an Ubuntu CD I bought
[17:29] <hypatia> Jrekko: hmm, probably a kernel/bios incompatibility then, i have that too with my current laptop

[17:29] <violetspie> refurb
[17:29] <ohi> how to force remove it?
[17:30] <Jrekko> hypatia: Not sure, how do I check that ?
[17:30] <Onryo> phong_ could also be your mDNS or other Avahi stuff. I always turn that junk off.
[17:31] <hypatia> Jrekko: when the computer boots, what do you see first thing?
[17:31] <ohi> i have even removed compiz
[17:31] <phong_> Onryo, i dont do anything
[17:31] <phong_> Onryo, it works fast on windows man
[17:31] <ohi> but the shadows are still there
[17:31] <phong_> Onryo, but not on ubuntu
[17:31] <bhavesh> anyone installed Java JDK and Netbeans IDE on linux here?
[17:31] <craigbass1976> ok, so installing gnome and gdm fixed my "can't see it" issue; too bad since I really liked the speed of lxde...  But now I'm back int he same boat I was on Saturday, which is screen resolution.  I can't get the 1440x900 this monitor is capable of.
[17:31] <bhavesh> I am having problems..
[17:31] <phong_> Onryo, max i get is 50k or something
[17:31] <Jrekko> hypatia: I'll tell you after this installation crashes, as I'm almost positive it will
[17:32] <hypatia> Jrekko: ok, let me know
[17:32] <hypatia> Jrekko: you're having similar issues to me, and i haven't figured them out yet :(
[17:32] <Onryo> phong_ yeah but Ubuntu has Avahi that looks for other computers on your home network. Using a micro DNS. Some routers have problems with it. Mine did.
[17:33] <phong_> Onryo, then i dont know what u meant and what to do
[17:33] <Jrekko> hypatia: It is very annoying, I might be buying a laptop soon though. So I might as well keep XP for now
[17:34] <violetspie> Onryo: any idea why ubuntu can easily find my router with a passphrase during installation or live cd boot up but not post-installation? I have atheros 5009 card
[17:34] <hypatia> Jrekko: oh, if it's relatively temporary, you might want to try a wubi install from within windows

[17:39] <maco> craigbass1976: you havent tried it in like 4 years have you?
[17:39] <Onryo> Wow looks like MicroSoft is finally going to drop its UI in Windows 8. Looks kind of like Gnome3 or Natty. No start button or panel on the bottom.
[17:39] <craigbass1976> laumonier, use google's.  <IP_ADDRESS>
[17:39] <craigbass1976> maco, no, probably not.  :)
[17:39] <maco> craigbass1976: since xorg.conf hasnt been in use by default for 3 years or so, there's nothing for it to do

[18:00] <stercor> I just got a new version of Skype.  It's a .deb package.  How do I install it?
[18:00] <Onryo> AlexandrosGR I use conky and I have every thing from GPU temp to the size of my entropy pool etc
[18:00] <Olson> stercor, click it/open it with debconf
[18:00] <AlexandrosGR> ok
[18:00] <stercor> Olson: Thanks.
[18:03] <lucidguy> newb script variable question. file.sh contains..  BLAHH="test"   (next line) export BLAHH   ...  if I were to execute the file.sh and then echo $BLAHH should it now respond with test?  I get blank..
[18:05] <Olson> i've checked apache2.conf and httpd.conf and also /sites-enabled/000-default or so for where it stores that text at bottom of empty page webserver shows, though not find how to change where it says  "Apache/2.2.17 (Ubuntu) Server at olson.myserver.org Port 80"  to change it?

[18:11] <krnl> hi
[18:12] <krnl> hi. i'm triing to run an http process as normal user. but it fails to bind to port 80 and says i have to run it as root. how can i give a flag to the excutable so that i dont have to run it as root?
[18:12] <andycc> lucidguy: I'm late, but try asking in #bash. IIRC, though, you need to 'source' the file for variables to get imported in your current shell.
[18:13] <jihedamine> Hi, When I try to make a voice call in empathy with the gtalk protocol, I get this error "empathy can't establish audio stream invalid remote candidates passed"
[18:13] <Cube``> hey guys, when i open a window and maximus maximizes it, my xfce4-panel turns black in some areas, and i need to click on them to reset it again - any ideas?
[18:13] <andycc> krnl: I believe you have to run 'chmod u+s' on the file to set the 'suid' bit. http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_setting_suid_sgid_bits
[18:14] <beli> krnl: dont use setuid/setgid bit
[18:14] <beli> krnl: what are you trying to do...explain from the start
[18:15] <krnl> beli: i'm triing to run nginx on my local machine. every time i start it, i have to do it with sudo and enter root password.
[18:15] <krnl> and that's what i'm triing to avoid.
[18:15] <clausen> is there a good way to verify PPA signing keys?
[18:15] <lucidguy> andycc: I am asking in bash .. still no luck.  Something so simple is driving me nuts..  how do I source the variable?
[18:16] <njr> anyone know anything anout harddisks not being seen by the installer?
[18:16] <clausen> lucidguy, what does "source the variable" mean?
[18:16] <andycc> lucidguy: 'source ./your-script.sh' (might not be what you're looking for though, but give it a try)
[18:16] <beli> krnl: you have to configue nginx correctly....it starts as root, then drops privilegs to a user...it needs to be confiigured....thats the common way all services use/should use
[18:16] <andycc> lucidguy: you also don't need to export it, iirc
[18:16] <clausen> lucidguy, you want to run some code that is in a variable?
[18:17] <ImAnno> hi
[18:17] <clausen> lucidguy, how about $($VAR))
[18:17] <krnl> beli: yes but it has to run as root to bind to a privileged port under 1024. i have to bind it to port 80. so it binds to 80 then changes to the user i set in  the config file.
[18:18] <beli> krnl: correctly....whats wrong about that? all jobs to the outside are run as a non-priv user then
[18:18] <beli> krnl: if you need better security put it into a chroot jail
[18:18] <piksi> is there any way to enable nfs4 automounting in /etc/fstab with wifi? the netdev option won't work properly. i'm looking for a solution that is not dependent on custom scripts
[18:21] <chair_> im having issue mounting a dvd on a laptop, Im 100% sure ive set the correct line in /etc/fstab but it still keeps repeating "mount: no medium found on /dev/sr0" Ive browsed UbuntuForums and have not gotten very far with my issue (ver 10.10)
[18:22] <beli> chair_:  maybe copy protection
[18:22] <RA_drc> how do i make an initrd image with ubuntu?
[18:22] <Onryo> chair_ sounds like the dev/sr0 for VBox
[18:22] <lucidguy> confused .. why do I have to "source" a script in order for the variables inside it to be global... how does bashrc do it?
[18:23] <tro_> I would like to install avast anti virus to be safe but when I try to install is I get the message "the package is of bad quality" "the package doesn't provide a valid Installed-Size control field. See Debian Policy 5.6.20."
[18:23] <chair_> Woudnt the packages like libreaddvd4 work for that copy protection?
[18:23] <andycc> lucidguy: bashrc gets sourced by bash. If you, for example, make a change and want it in the current session, you run 'source ~/.bashrc'.
[18:23] <krnl> ok thnx, bye
[18:24] <andycc> lucidguy: so just
[18:24] <andycc> lucidguy: 'source ./yourscript.sh'
[18:25] <lucidguy> andycc: I get it .. just a little blown away that you cant easily set a global script without sourcing it etc...
[18:25] <escott> lucidguy, .bashrc is sourced by profile. if you don't source a separate bash instance is started to run the script. it is that instance that gets the variable exported in its environment
[18:25] <lucidguy> andycc: How does that explain scripts within /etc/profile.d/
[18:26] <lucidguy> escott: understood .. same with /etc/profile.d?
[18:26] <leandro220-x> hi
[18:26] <lucidguy> escott: as in the scripts within /etc/profile.d/  I noticed those scripts retain their variables globally also.
[18:26] <escott> lucidguy, http://ss64.com/bash/period.html
[18:27] <A_J> hai all, i'm Having Issues playing full HD Video's (1080p). I have a nvdia gfx card and i think latest drivers, using vlc player. It;s a GT 430
[18:28] <A_J> lucidguy, ?
[18:29] <Plugh> In 11.04, when I mount the windows partition on my RAID1 configure hard drive it comes up as /dev/dm-2 instead of /dev/mapper/isw_blah like all the other partitions on the drive. It used to be /dev/mapper/... before 11.04. Is this a bug others are seeing?
[18:30] <escott> lucidguy, if you want to see how it all fits together just read /etc/profile and follow the trail. you will see everything is source or "dot-spaced" which is the same
[18:30] <SSChicken> Hey guys, I'm wondering if anyone can help me disable the power button. I've edited /etc/acpi/powerbtn-acpi-support.sh and that script will run on button press correctly, but a window still pops up warning "This system will automatically shut down in 50 seconds" which I can not seem to disable
[18:30] <KNUBBIG> Hey guys, I got a problem with my arrow keys: from time to time, I can't use them for the functions they are desgined for, e.g. navigating the workspaces or reinvoking the last issued command (if I then use the up key in a terminal, it takes a screenshot). Any ideas?
[18:30] <lucidguy> escott: thanks .. will check it out.
[18:30] <escott> SSChicken, check gnome-power-preferences thats probably the source of the gui
[18:31] <nifelan> hi. I'm having a problem getting vsftpd to work, but I can't login with the user I created for this purpose (530 permission denied). I do get asked the password if I use the user specified in the userlist-file (userlist_deny=no), but not if I use any other user - however I can't login
[18:32] <SSChicken> escott, I have but unfortunately the only options are: Aske Me, Shut Down, Hibernate, Sleep. No option for 'nothing'
[18:32] <A_J> escott, can u look at my question
[18:32] <escott> SSChicken, there may be a way you can disable the gnome-power daemon
[18:32] <min|dvir|us> Hi. Whenever I start my computer up, it seems like my settings are unsaved... Launcher icons are there when I said not to keep them, and I need to enter my password for a keyring even though I told it to remember.
[18:33] <min|dvir|us> But most importantly, the launcher icons shouldn't be there.
[18:33] <YankDownUnder> nifelan, I'll assume you've read through: http://www.silurian.com/sitevigil/help/SVH316.htm ??
[18:33] <min|dvir|us> When I restart unity using unity --replace, the icons that I don't want come back.
[18:33] <moogie_> yo
[18:33] <andycc> A_J: you *think* latest drivers? Search for "additional drivers" using the Unity launcher and see if the proprietary Nvidia driver is installed?
[18:33] <min|dvir|us> So it's as if I never unchecked 'keep in tray' even though it shows as unchecked.
[18:33] <min|dvir|us> Any thoughts?
[18:33] <SSChicken> escott, Killing gnome-power-manager seems to have done the trick. Thanks!
[18:34] <A_J> andycc,  where is it located ?
[18:34] <andycc> A_J: just hit the "windows key" and type "additional drivers"
[18:34] <escott> A_J, saw your question. don't have nvidia, and don't know how to help you. please don't ask people to look at your question, if someone sees it and knows the answer they will respond
[18:34] <A_J> ok escott  ty
[18:35] <A_J> andycc,  windows key does nothing :(
[18:35] <andycc> A_J: might be worth mentioning that I don't have an Nvidia card either, so I don't know the exact steps.
[18:35] <min|dvir|us> Anyone know anything about Unity?
[18:35] <min|dvir|us> Where does it store configs?
[18:35] <min|dvir|us> Launcher icons?
[18:36] <escott> min|dvir|us, the keyring password probably does need to be entered every boot. there is no safe way to secure that across boots
[18:36] <nifelan> YankDownUnder: err, no. but I fail to see how that page could help
[18:36]  * YankDownUnder hates Unity with more than a passion
[18:36] <min|dvir|us> escott: It says 'automatically unlock on login'.
[18:36] <min|dvir|us> But that's OK.
[18:36] <min|dvir|us> It doesn't bother me that much.
[18:36] <min|dvir|us> I just want these panel icons gone.
[18:36] <andycc> A_J: then you're probably not using Unity. Do you have two panels on the screen (top and bottom)? If so, the top panel should have 3 menus. Select System -> Administration -> Additional Hardware and see if any drivers are listed and/or installed.
[18:36] <A_J> andycc,  makin a SS one sec
[18:37] <YankDownUnder> nifelan, I can't help you if you're not willing to read up on your program and issue mate.
[18:37] <A_J> andycc,  :  http://lulzimg.com/i22/433c5a.png
[18:38] <chair_> beli: you mentioned copy protection, is there no way to mount a DVD in ubuntu 10.10? I know it'll take a data disc, just refuses to see any storebought DVDs
[18:38] <nifelan> YankDownUnder: but I don't use site vigil. My problem is with configuring vsftpd and things related to this?
[18:39] <Onryo> lucidguy andycc You should never define bash veriables in caps because you may just override the enviromental vars. There are tons of them ie HOME HOST LOGNAME etc. Take a look in term with $ printenv
[18:39] <escott> min|dvir|us, i would check that gconf permissions are ok, that would probably be where all these options are stored

[18:39] <A_J> these bots are good
[18:40] <Plugh> SASL?
[18:40] <min|dvir|us> escott: How?
[18:40] <andycc> A_J: okay, so it's enabled. How old is your card again? It might not be powerful enough to render 1080p video. Or VLC may have an issue. Have you tried playing the video with Ubuntu's default movie player? (right click the file, open with, Movie Player)
[18:40] <A_J> it's a scam  Plugh not real
[18:40] <A_J> andycc,  a week old
[18:40] <bindi> What a horrible scam
[18:40] <escott> min|dvir|us, thats the part i dont really know...
[18:40] <Plugh> yeah, wondered why it would be displayed 3 times.
[18:40] <dirtyd> These bots flood channel modes worst than the flood bots flood
[18:40] <dirtyd> it's like 5 extra lines
[18:40] <A_J> andycc,  the default player doesnt play, mkc for some reason
[18:41] <A_J> mkv*
[18:41] <Onryo> A_J are you sure its a scam. Darn I had my credit card already !
[18:41] <Plugh> Does anyone have a list of packages installed as part of Unity? I'd like to remove all parts of Unity from my machine as I don't plan to use it.
[18:41] <Calinou> Onryo: a non-scam would not spam like this
[18:41] <no_face> anyone here technically minded enough to help me spend a few thousand on a new ubuntu PC
[18:42] <Calinou> would just say one line, and in -notice- on server connection
[18:42] <A_J> actually andycc to think of it sometimes, when i play video it does not show just a black screen and audio, it normally gets solved by a restart what can it be ?
[18:42] <dirtyd> why +z and +q the bot if it's instantly removed or klined? oh well
[18:42] <A_J> Onryo, oryl
[18:42] <andycc> A_J: try opening the Software Center and installing "ubuntu-restricted-extras" (just copypaste that into the search box, without the "s), then try again.
[18:42] <Onryo> Calinou I was just joking.
[18:42] <Calinou> :( ok
[18:42] <TheRedOctober> Plugh: that is a dependency nightmare you are looking at.
[18:42] <KNUBBIG> Hey guys, I got a problem with my arrow keys: from time to time, I can't use them for the functions they are desgined for, e.g. navigating the workspaces or reinvoking the last issued command (if I then use the up key in a terminal, it takes a screenshot). Any ideas?

[18:42] <tyler_d> I cannot get an alsa sound icon to show up in ubuntu?
[18:42] <Plugh> no_face: Doesn't take technical skills to spend money but if you mean deciding what kind of machine to get, that's different.
[18:42] <celthunder>  no_face intel/amd?  chipset you want?  What're you using it for (graphics capabilities) etc
[18:42] <AaeRohn> ok, nevermind, it started up
[18:42] <no_face> yeah, i've built my last two pc's for windows
[18:43] <Plugh> TheRedOctober: Wouldn't be the first one. :-) I can remove all packages with unity in the name and all mentioning zeitgeist.
[18:43] <no_face> running a q6600 4gb atm
[18:43] <A_J> andycc, on it
[18:43] <celthunder> no_face: that could easily run ubuntu
[18:43] <Plugh> Wasn't sure what other ones are unique to Unity
[18:43] <no_face> i want rock solid stability
[18:43] <A_J> hey no_face.. q6600 is waa overpowered for ubuntu
[18:43] <A_J> way*
[18:43] <no_face> i know, i've been using linux for about 8 years
[18:44] <kleanchap> I finished installing Ubuntu for the first time.  Where is the xterm or gnome terminal application located?
[18:44] <bindi> kleanchap: Accessories
[18:44] <mr_chris> Hi there. Can anyone shed light on what kworker is, why it spawns so many processes, and why it causes so many kernel wakeups? I know it was introduced recently in the newer kernel build but I am unable to find any real information on what it is, what it's for, and if I should be concerned about the previously stated issues with it.
[18:44] <A_J> no_face, it should run well
[18:44] <andycc> kleanchap: just hit the windows key and search for Terminal, if you're using Unity.
[18:44] <no_face> it does
[18:44] <no_face> i want a new pc
[18:44] <nifelan> YankDownUnder: I was hoping that anyone could help me with my issue since I didn't find any information on why the login fails. The userlist seems to be valid - after all, other users get rejected before asking for a password. I've created the user, a group and set the home directory for the user....
[18:44] <celthunder> A_J: I've maxed out i7's  but then i purposely do things just to max the cpu
[18:44] <andycc> kleanchap: or Alt-F2, gnome-terminal (universal solution)
[18:45] <A_J> celthunder, yes.. i'm talking about basic specs :p
[18:45] <escott> mr_chris, iirc kworker is not for a specific task, but rather a thread that can do any properly structured bit of work. there should be one per logical core
[18:45] <no_face> if anyone wants to private convo me and help me choose please do, id appreciate the input before i turn to the forums
[18:45] <A_J> andycc, do i need to reboot /
[18:45] <andycc> A_J: nope
[18:45] <kleanchap> bindi, Where is Accessories?   For Applications, I am seeing "Media Apps" "Internet Apps" ......etc
[18:45] <YankDownUnder> nifelan, I've tried to point you in the right direction, however, your request is not really OS specific...therefore, I can only tell you what I can tell you mate...
[18:45] <bindi> hmm..  :S I love Ubuntu (somehow.. classic anyways, unity is a no-go) but I always end up booting to windows because Ubuntu feels so... horrible to use
[18:45] <KNUBBIG> kleanchap: just type terminal in the search box
[18:45] <andycc> A_J: this isn't Windows, you don't have to reboot after doing something as basic as installing a bunch of codecs
[18:45] <celthunder> no_face: find a motherboard with the latest chipset, and build up from there you'll be able to upgrade for a year at least doing that
[18:45] <bindi> kleanchap: ah you're using unity :-)
[18:45] <OerHeks> no_face join #Ubuntu-offtopic for that
[18:45] <Plugh> no_face: First step is coming up with a list of what you do with your machine and what you want to do. That will determine the type of machine you need (high end, or low end). After that, check for what's in the box and see if the items are supported by Linux.
[18:46] <A_J> andycc,  i thought so.. tbh i'm finding linux a tad pain in the ass
[18:46] <escott> mr_chris, http://lwn.net/Articles/403891/
[18:46] <no_face> server / gaming
[18:46] <nifelan> YankDownUnder: I do think that it is os specific. After all, vsftpd is a unix ftp server and I'm trying to get it to run on ubuntu (which in turn also works a bit different than other OS)...
[18:46] <YankDownUnder> *BING* that was the catch-phrase I was waiting for => "Ubuntu feels so horrible to use"...yes...now for article...thanks for that...
[18:46] <celthunder> no_face: those 2 don't exactly mix super well...
[18:46] <A_J> andycc, nop yet framing
[18:46] <bindi> no_face: gaming.. linux... *chuckles*
[18:47] <andycc> A_J: it's just different. You might want to go through the Ubuntu Help to get accustomed a bit.
[18:47] <mr_chris> escott: Thanks
[18:47] <KNUBBIG> I got a problem with my arrow keys: from time to time, I can't use them for the functions they are desgined for, e.g. navigating the workspaces or reinvoking the last issued command (if I then use the up key in a terminal, it takes a screenshot). Any ideas?
[18:47] <A_J> andycc, i did go through..
[18:47] <bindi> YankDownUnder: lol, glad I was able to help
[18:47] <Onryo> no_face Roll with Debian Squeeze 6.0. Grab a 2.6.38 kernel from Debian (no blobs). If you want VT-d VT-x and AES then a Sandy Bridge 2600. Use the internal GPU since there are no blobs needed.
[18:48] <YankDownUnder> nifelan, vsftp is secular in it's configuration and usage...they're quite specific about using THEIR way to do things...and you've not poured over the docs and the site?
[18:48] <chair_> with DVDs having copy protection, is there no way to mount a DVD in ubuntu 10.10? I know it'll take a data disc, just refuses to see any storebought DVDs
[18:48] <lolmatic> time for my daily pipe -.-
[18:48] <escott> !dvd | chair_
[18:49] <escott> chair_, and nothing prevents you from mounting the dvd. the css encryption is inside the vob stream
[18:49] <A_J> andycc, i had asked advice at the nvdia channel for the card, before buying they said it should do it well
[18:49] <celthunder> chair_: libdvdcss
[18:49] <no_face> it would be a hobby server, and i like playing cod 4 and eve on my ubuntu pc
[18:50] <andycc> A_J: so it still doesn't work? If so, I'm out of ideas. Might be your graphics card after all. What is your "issue" after all? I assumed it's choppy video, am I right?
[18:50] <KNUBBIG> no_face: CoD4 on Ubuntu?
[18:50] <chair_> escott: im having serious issues mounting it tbh, it sees a data CD, just not any DVDs
[18:50] <phox_> test
[18:50] <no_face> yep
[18:50] <KNUBBIG> phox_: test succeeded
[18:50] <A_J> yes andycc framing video's. it Manages 720p well but not 1080p
[18:50] <phox_> can anybody see what i write?
[18:50] <celthunder> chair_: is it a dvd drive
[18:50] <no_face> works great
[18:50] <dwayne> I have ubuntu 10.04 w/ GNOME desktop.  Last night I installed k3b and now whenever I use svn I get KDE Wallet prompts.  How can I remove KDE Wallet ?
[18:50] <chair_> yes celthunder
[18:50] <A_J> no_face, cod on linux O_o
[18:50] <celthunder> phox_: no
[18:50] <no_face> yes
[18:50] <Arroyo1010> phox_  yes
[18:51] <KNUBBIG> no_face: can't see how that would be possible o_O
[18:51] <no_face> playonlinux
[18:51] <andycc> A_J: mkv isn't exactly the fastest format to decode, if I remember correctly.
[18:51] <escott> chair_, it should auto mount in /media/DVD_TITLE if it isn't it might be a dvd region encoding problem?
[18:51] <celthunder> dwayne: apt-get remove kde-wallet or whatever the package is
[18:51] <KNUBBIG> no_face: interesting, taking a look
[18:51] <A_J> andycc, your saying it can be a processer bottleneck ?
[18:51] <A_J> i have a 3.0ghz p4
[18:52] <chair_> escott: that'd be wierd as it's an NTSC dvd bought in america, something in settings somewhere on ubuntu im missing?
[18:52] <andycc> A_J: probably. Although all the video rendering should be done by your graphics card's own processor. Then again, Nvidia cards don't exactly have the best Linux drivers.
[18:52] <A_J> argh
[18:53] <A_J> i bought a nice screen for hd :(
[18:53] <andycc> A_J: try searching for "vlc nvidia vdpau linux" or something like that on google.
[18:54] <chair_> escott: as far as the RestrictedFormats go, ive done that, im just at a loss on understanding why I cant even see the DVD (no media)
[18:54] <A_J> andycc, involves some complicated stuff
[18:54] <escott> chair_, that i dont know. mounting shouldn't pose a problem. have you tried to mount on the command line
[18:55] <chair_> escott: /etc/fstab lists '/dev/sr0 /mnt/dvd udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0'
[18:55] <escott> chair_, take that line out and let the automounter handle it
[18:55] <A_J> andycc, can u have a looksi here : http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?t=53928&f=13
[18:56] <chair_> I had to add that in actually
[18:56] <chair_> Before, automount did nothing
[18:56] <Onryo> A_J all Nvidia card after the 8800 should have CUDA. This will render your video etc on your GPU. If your into video stuff I wrote a script that will pull the daily gits of ffmpeg, x264 etc and fix all that up. http://pastebin.com/NHXrsBxm
[18:56] <saju_m> left speaker not working in ubuntu 11.04
[18:56] <andycc> A_J: take a look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1037625 (mentions something about installing the "vdpau-va-driver" package, try searching for that in Software Center)
[18:56] <KNUBBIG> I got a problem with my arrow keys: from time to time, I can't use them for the functions they are desgined for, e.g. navigating the workspaces or reinvoking the last issued command (if I then use the up key in a terminal, it takes a screenshot). Any ideas?
[18:56] <chair_> chair@Icarus:/media$ sudo mount /dev/sr0 /mnt/dvd
[18:56] <chair_> mount: /dev/sr0: unknown device
[18:56] <Onryo> chair_ do you have VBox installed?
[18:57] <chair_> No Onryo, Do I need virtualbox?
[18:57] <Onryo> chair_ no
[18:57] <chair_> it would seem odd :P
[18:57] <escott> chair_, well there is your problem
[18:57] <chair_> escott: /dev/sr0?
[18:57] <escott> chair_, yes. figure out what the true dvd drive is
[18:57] <Onryo> chair just that when I use VBox I have a virtual "device" called sr0. Thats why I asked.
[18:58] <no_face> Anyone willing to talk about hardware in private convo?
[18:58] <chair_> escott: it's confusing, Disk Utility lists the DVD drive as /dev/sr0
[18:58] <A_J> andycc,  installing
[18:58] <andycc> A_J: there you go, that should fix it. Try with VLC again after installing it.
[18:59] <A_J> nop :\ andycc
[18:59] <andycc> A_J: what? That didn't fix it?
[18:59] <kleanchap> I can see that xterm and gnome-terminal are insrtalled.  How do I invoke them?  How do I add them to the sidebar?
[18:59] <A_J> nop
[18:59] <escott> chair_, start with taking that line out of fstab you could be missing format types you need
[18:59] <A_J> i installed : VDPAU-based backend driver
[18:59] <saju_m> left speaker not working in ubuntu 11.04 how solve it ???
[19:00] <A_J> Onryo, nice Script : umm i just copy paste it into the terminal ?
[19:01] <andycc> A_J: well then, I'm sorry, but I'm pretty much out of ideas. Try asking at the Ubuntu Forums, maybe someone there knows. (just give the topic a meaningful name like "1080p playback choppy in VLC with Nvidia graphics card")
[19:02] <A_J> andycc, thanks for your Help
[19:02] <chair_> escott: Line has been commented out in fstab, same issues while mounting in cmdline '/dev/sr0 unknown device'
[19:02] <Onryo> A_J Yeap. Thats all you got to do. I got a video on youtube what that script does. That script you are looking at will also work with Natty. http://www.youtube.com/user/0nryo

[19:04] <HA1DFO> Hi all. I need an opinion of a grub expert. I atttached a disk to my company laptop on USB3, installed ubuntu on it, the installer has put grub on the laptop's internal disk. The whole disk (not just a partition) is encrypted, so grub didn't recognized it as win partition, so it deleted my encrypting bootloader from it. How can I prevent grub to touch that disk? I really don't like to bag for re-imageing the laptop....

[19:05] <A_J> Onryo, wow mate great work.. Really nice.. btw, i tried copy pasting it did not work
[19:05] <murlidhar> hi all. how can i stop the desktop from getting autolocked when i am watching a movie ?
[19:05] <celthunder> HA1DFO: ? grub shouldn't touch the disk unless you tell it to...
[19:05] <murlidhar> ok nvm
[19:05] <Onryo> A_J did you call it .sh at the end and make it chmod +x ?
[19:06] <jeff_> I need a good DVD Burning program.  Trying to make a disk to play in a dvd player, nothing is working
[19:06] <giovanni> algm por ae ?
[19:06] <spel3o> Has anyone here succesfully synced music to the iPod touch 4 on ubuntu?
[19:06] <A_J> umm, no.. i just pasted it into the terminal mate Onryo
[19:06] <HA1DFO> celthunder, It was ubuntu install, there were no questions about where should it put grub and where not, and suddenly it was there in the inner disk
[19:06] <A_J> sorry to be a newb mate Onryo
[19:06] <rinkukokiri> heh.. figured it was flash (mainly youtube) that was causing my system lockups
[19:07] <rinkukokiri> youtube can go suck a pigstick
[19:07] <HA1DFO> celthunder, I'm afraid to put that disk back to the machine, i don't want risks for example if a kernel update comes around
[19:07] <escott> HA1DFO, it doesnt ask. you may want to unplug the internal disk when doing the install
[19:07] <rinkukokiri> nau i use flashvideoreplacer fwd to wmp codec
[19:07] <trism> HA1DFO: in recent versions you need to run: ubiquity -b; to start the installer without installing grub (there is a bug for this: lp 690926 )
[19:07] <jeff_> I need a good DVD Burning program.  Trying to make a disk to play in a dvd player, nothing is working
[19:07] <HA1DFO> escott, now it is installed, i just want to be 100% sure it will never happen again
[19:07] <rinkukokiri> trism, doesn't 11.04 do the same thing?
[19:07] <celthunder> HA1DFO: fail installer? uhm grub (to get to grub prompt) root (hd?,?) (set where your /boot files are on the external) then grub setup (hd?,?)
[19:08] <trism> rinkukokiri: 11.04 would be a recent version, yes
[19:08] <kleanchap> I am in "Ubuntu Software Center" and I can see gnome-terminal installed.  How can I start it?  How can I add to the sidebar?  This is supposed to be easy...
[19:08] <Plugh> rinkukokiri: If you have flash running in 11.04, I'm curious as to what browser are you using? I can't make flash work with Firefox 4.01.
[19:08] <A_J> Onryo, i changed the homepath and added a .sh
[19:08] <trism> rinkukokiri: the fix was moved to oneiric (although doesn't really seem like anyone is working on it even there)
[19:08] <rinkukokiri> Plugh, firefox 4.01
[19:08] <rinkukokiri> lol
[19:08] <spel3o> Kleanchap, go to the applications tab, then accessories tab, then terminal
[19:09] <HA1DFO> celthunder, I dn't really understand this last one. The ubuntu is on my disk. Had to trick around (pack usb3 to initrd), but it is working. I just want to disable the internal disk as it is for ubuntu, it couldn't do anything useful with it anyway (encryption)
[19:09] <andycc> kleanchap: hit the windows key or click the Ubuntu icon in the top left screen corner, type "terminal", it should show up. Drag the terminal icon to the sidebar.
[19:09] <andycc> (and then click on it, ofc)
[19:09] <Plugh> rinkukokiri: Hm... Just won't work for me. Only way to see flash (if I need to) is using Opera.
[19:09] <rinkukokiri> Plugh,  Shockwave Flash 10.3 r181
[19:09] <andycc> kleanchap: you are using Unity, right?
[19:09] <rinkukokiri> not sure if it was from the repos or the adobe site.
[19:09] <Onryo> A_J OK so now you need to allow it to run on your computer. sudo chmod +x yourfile.sh
[19:09] <stercor> How do I import contact information from gmail to Evolution?
[19:09] <Plugh> rinkukokiri: Did you install from the adobe website or using one of the pacakges in Synaptic?
[19:10] <rinkukokiri> Plugh, lemmie check
[19:10] <Onryo> A_J then start it like this ./yourfile.sh
[19:10] <Plugh> rinkukokiri: ok.
[19:10] <kleanchap> andycc, yes
[19:10] <chair_> escott: I have to go, thanks for trying to help me understand and get the DVD drive to work properly, I'll see what I can do in a few hours from now when I get back home
[19:10] <rinkukokiri> Plugh, <IP_ADDRESS>ubuntu<IP_ADDRESS> (flashplugin-installer)  (through software center)
[19:10] <chair_> thanks again escott :)
[19:10] <kleanchap> When I hit the Windows key, I do not see the Ubuntu icon.
[19:10] <Onryo> A_J or just watch the end of my video. Shows you how to do it. The beginning is just what the script is doing manually. www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0IDV6r-bCI
[19:11] <brown_fern> kleanchap: I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 with Unity, when I want to run a program I click on the Applications icon on the Unity bar, then type "terminal" at the search text field, when Gnome Terminal opens I right-click its icon and choose "Keep in Launcher." Perhaps this doesn't answer your question, let us know.
[19:11] <rinkukokiri> Plugh, although with firefox, you /can/ do what i ended up doing and install flashvideoreplacer (add-on) and then run through the settings till you find one that works.. (flash causes massive system lock ups on youtube)
[19:11] <andycc> A_J: just open up 'gedit', copy-paste, save it somewhere, right-click it in the file browser, navigate to the 'permissions' tab, check the "allow this file to be executed" box, hit the Close button, double-click the file and it should ask you what you want to do. Click "run in terminal" and you're on your way.
[19:11] <andycc> (^ no terminal needed)
[19:12] <Plugh> rinkukokiri: I don't use youtube very much.
[19:12] <CH3T4N> I am using ubuntu 11.04's unity interface. Is there any way I can add apps like DICTIONARY to the upper panel. Its comes in handy.
[19:12] <celthunder> andycc: that is the most workaround way of running a shell script i've ever seen in my life
[19:12] <kleanchap> brown_fern, Thank you!!
[19:12] <phong_> hi, is there a way to make vlc player as a default player?
[19:12] <phong_> help me
[19:12] <phong_> when i click mkv file, it use the build in player
[19:12] <A_J> thanks andycc
[19:12] <A_J> worked :D
[19:12] <spel3o> Does the iPod touch 4 work with ubuntu?
[19:12] <bob31984> hi guys - I'm having some issues installing 11.04.  I have Linux Mint on /dev/sda3, from which I tried to use unetbootin to install Ubuntu.  Obviously I couldn't then repartition /dev/sda so I tried to use the livecd.  However, now when I boot from the livecd, I get the livecd boot menu but somewhere in the boot process it seems to find the unetbootin kernel and boots that.  When I get into the desktop, /dev/sda3 is mounted on /cdrom.  How do
[19:13] <unknown> hi, I have a problem: I put an entry at /etc/sysctl.conf, but after rebooting, in /proc/sys/ it isnt set
[19:13] <bob31984>  I get the livecd to ignore unetbootin?  I can't remove unetbootin because my Linux Mint install is broken.
[19:13] <phong_> i need to know how to make vlc as default player
[19:13] <A_J> Onryo, mate, upgrade or Install ?
[19:13] <Plugh> rinkukokiri: ok. I'll try again with flashplugin-installer. I'll shutdown FF, remove package, the re-install and see if that helps.
[19:13] <brown_fern> kleanchap: You're welcome.
[19:13] <andycc> celthunder: and the most newbie-friendly one. We should all use this kind of instructions when talking to newbies. (or make it a ubottu factoid)
[19:13] <Plugh> If I can get it working, I'll only have 13 remaining issues with 11.04
[19:13] <CH3T4N> @phong: yes u will have to right click then open it with other application and then check the box remember his app
[19:14] <Onryo> A_J install then later you can upgraded it with with upgrade. It will grab the newest gits and compile them.
[19:14] <kleanchap> Why is it that I can only have one Terminal open?  Why can't I open multiple Terminal windows?
[19:14] <celthunder> kleanchap: ? you can open as many as you want
[19:14] <andycc> kleanchap: use the menu for that. File -> New window
[19:15] <celthunder> kleanchap: and which terminal are you using?
[19:15] <andycc> kleanchap: Unity opens your existing window when you click the icon.
[19:15] <Onryo> A_J I also used check install so you can just install it as normal or do a total install of everything that script has done.
[19:15] <trism> kleanchap: if this is unity, you can middle click as well you launch another instance
[19:15] <CH3T4N> Can't we add apps icons to the upper bar in UNITY???
[19:16] <A_J> okie ty Onryo  amazing work, you must be really pro.. Thanks will Update you how it goes.. ty once again
[19:16] <andycc> CH3T4N: short version: no.
[19:16] <kleanchap> trism, Thanks!  That worked.
[19:16] <Onryo> A_J ahhh no big deal. But thx.
[19:16] <CH3T4N> ok. but i still think there must be  workaway around
[19:16] <andycc> CH3T4N: with Indicators, but you pretty much need to be a programmer.
[19:17] <brown_fern> phong_: With Unity try the Universal Power button(in the upper right of the screen)>>System Settings>>Preferred Applications>>Multimedia (tab).
[19:17] <rinkukokiri> so seems I spoke too soon
[19:18] <rinkukokiri> what's that chain of commands that utilizes alt+sys req for when I have a total system lockup?
[19:18] <Onryo> A_J you dont need to upgrade it right after you install. That script just pulled the head gits. Maybe tomorrow or something the coders have upgraded some code.
[19:18] <CH3T4N> its will be a nice experience. can u just give me a quick outline so as how will i acheive it
[19:18] <andycc> rinkukokiri: Alt-SysRQ-REISUB
[19:18] <rinkukokiri> thx
[19:18] <rinkukokiri> writing it down ;D
[19:19] <andycc> rinkukokiri: memorize it as "Raising Elephants IS Utterly Boring"
[19:19] <andycc> rinkukokiri: also note that on some distros (openSUSE comes to mind) it's disabled for security reasons
[19:19] <andycc> But on Ubuntu it should work, IIRC.
[19:19] <CH3T4N> andycc: just outline, if possible.
[19:19] <rinkukokiri> andycc, if i try to remember it like that, i'll prolly omit the 's'
[19:19] <rinkukokiri> accidentally
[19:20] <tranzit> i m new to linux
[19:20] <tranzit> cn any body help me
[19:20] <rinkukokiri> so.. i spoke too soon, it wasn't flash

[19:20] <A_J> !ask | tranzit
[19:20] <padhu> tranzit: what you want?

[19:21] <padhu> tranzit: are you want to start/stop or install it?
[19:21] <celthunder> tranzit: /etc/init.d/ssh start then ssh <user>@<host> is the simple version...configs are in /etc/ssh/
[19:22] <andycc> tranzit: you can usually just google "ubuntu wiki <some topic>"
[19:22] <tranzit> i want to install it
[19:22] <Onryo> tranzit you want to ssh to somebody want ppl to be able to ssh into a server you have?

[19:22] <brown_fern> tranzit: Good places to chat about Linux are #ubuntu-offtopic (267 users) and #ubuntu-beginners (63 users).
[19:23] <padhu> tranzit: system => sysnaptic package manager then search and install open-ssh server

[19:25] <andycc> sw0rdfish: sudo update-manager -d is the correct command to upgrade, IIRC
[19:25] <Rafael-Linux> hi
[19:25] <sw0rdfish> hmmmmmm
[19:26] <Plugh> rinkukokiri: Nope. I go to youtube as a quick test and it always tells me I need to upgrade to flash player 10.
[19:26] <meco> I'm using openbox, but I need the volume control. How do I start it?
[19:26] <celthunder> Plugh: so install flashplayer 10
[19:26] <celthunder> meco: pavucontrol
[19:27] <rinkukokiri> what would you guys say.. my system locks up about once a day (sometimes more often)  and I mean complete lockup, mouse will be stuck between monitors.. memtest comes back clean....
[19:27] <meco> great!
[19:27] <kleanchap> I have a Wifi card from Ralink.  The vendor has post the driver code on their website.  I do not know if it has been integrated into Ubuntu.  The driver documentation says "tested on RedHat 7.3 and later...".
[19:27] <Plugh> celthunder: I installed flashplugin-installer already.
[19:27] <celthunder> meco: or alsamixer if you're using alsa pavucontrol for pulse and ossxmix for oss
[19:27] <saidz> kleanchap, rt3090 ?
[19:27] <Plugh> <IP_ADDRESS> IIRC
[19:27] <meco> ok
[19:27] <kleanchap> saidz, rt3562sta
[19:28] <Plugh> I'll de-install adobe flash plugin and try gnash and see if that works.
[19:28] <celthunder> kleanchap: ralinks oftne work out of box
[19:28] <saidz> ─▒ have rt3090 and i searched with google and i found suitable deb package kleanchap
[19:29] <saidz> maybe you should try searching deb
[19:29] <rinkukokiri> what can I do about system lockups??  memtest comes back clean
[19:29] <A_J> Onryo, it removed VLC :\, reinstall ?
[19:29] <kleanchap> saidz, Where do I start?  apt-get?
[19:29] <celthunder> kleanchap: apt-cache search
[19:29] <Plugh> rinkukokiri: When it locks up can you still Ctrl-Alt-F1 to get to a console window?
[19:30] <rinkukokiri> nope
[19:30] <Plugh> Oh.
[19:30] <rinkukokiri> can't do much besides the reisub thing
[19:30] <Plugh> That's a serious lockup.
[19:30] <saidz> first search @ google kleanchap
[19:30] <Core_UK> How can I open a port on linux?
[19:30] <Core_UK> or check if it is closed
[19:30] <saidz> install the pack with your browser
[19:30] <celthunder> rinkukokiri: anything in logs/what're you doing when it locks up
[19:30] <rinkukokiri> nope...
[19:30] <saidz> and set it with Gdebi package manager
[19:31] <celthunder> Core_UK: it's open by default unless you have iptables/other blocking it as long as something is listening on the port
[19:31] <rinkukokiri> usually listening to something on VLC whilst running two instances of Firefox
[19:31] <Core_UK> celthunder: thank you :)
[19:31] <rinkukokiri> sometimes if i have youtube open i don't need vlc open for it to happen
[19:32] <rinkukokiri> but that's only when using flash ( ithink that lockup is specific to flash)
[19:32] <rinkukokiri> and that lockup usually comes back
[19:32] <andycc> rinkukokiri: sounds like an X lockup to me. Go to the keyboard layouts settings page and there should be a "set combination to change layout" sort of button (I'm not on Ubuntu, can't check what it's called). It should open up a window with a tree-like layout, in which you should find "key combination to restart X server". Enable that, and presto, you can theoretically hit ctrl-alt-backspace to restart just the graphical environment.
[19:32] <rinkukokiri> when the major lockups happen all windows turn dark and my mouse gets stuck in a space between the monitors
[19:32] <cjuner> Does anybody have any hints on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lvm2/+bug/796755
[19:32] <rinkukokiri> andycc, that didn't work lasttime.. i have that enabled.
[19:33] <rinkukokiri> and i pressed the eff outta ctrl alt backspace
[19:33] <Core_UK> celthunder: I am testing a port on Transmission, I know I have it fowarded to my internal IP on the router... what could be clocking it?
[19:33] <Core_UK> blocking*
[19:33] <Plugh> rinkukokiri: Are your video card drivers up to date?
[19:33] <rinkukokiri> Plugh, yep.. using latest from nvidia
[19:33] <andai> can i launch linux executables from a wine app?
[19:33] <celthunder> Core_UK: do you have a firewall running (iptables -L)
[19:34] <Core_UK> celthunder: nevermind, it was MoBlock
[19:34] <Plugh> rinkukokiri: What desktop thing are you using Unity or gnome?
[19:34] <rinkukokiri> ubuntu-classic
[19:34] <andycc> rinkukokiri: huh. Okay then, try to turn Compiz off (if it's on) and see if it happens again.
[19:34] <celthunder> andai: uh?
[19:34] <rinkukokiri> andycc, Plugh i *think* it happens in windows too... not sure if that's just the firefox mem hole or not though
[19:35] <A_J> Onryo, well ?
[19:35] <Plugh> rinkukokiri: I was going to suggest whether its something to do with Compiz. You can also start up with ubuntu-classic (no effects) and see if that makes a change.
[19:35] <andai> celthunder: Like I have Minecraft, but i can't launch it, except in wine, using a windows version of JAVA in wine which is pretty slow
[19:35] <mikebeecham> Guys...for some reason I cant print anything from my windows machine to my Epson printer attached onto Ubuntu. I can print a test page fine but nothing else prints...can anyone help?
[19:35] <mikebeecham> will it be a windows, epson or Ubuntu problem?
[19:35] <mikebeecham> everything prints fine from Ubuntu!
[19:35] <andai> celthunder: So i went to Minecraft download page and it has a linux version, which is basically "Just Launch the JAR"
[19:35] <Plugh> rinkukokiri: If its happening in Windows too that sounds like something other than an OS problem. Possibly a hardware related issue.
[19:35] <cypha> how do I add a custom autocomplete dictionary
[19:35] <andai> celthunder: which doesn't work :P
[19:36] <cypha> ?
[19:36] <rinkukokiri> thats exactly what i don't wanna hear though on a 1500$$ laptop
[19:36] <Core_UK> andai: there is a swtup0 script
[19:36] <Core_UK> andai: on the ubuntu forum
[19:36] <Core_UK> andai: "setup"
[19:36] <andycc> andai: odd. I tried running Minecraft and it pretty much worked. Maybe try a different Minecraft launcher?
[19:36] <rinkukokiri> well.. soo much for asus being king stuff of laptops
[19:37] <Core_UK> rinkukokiri: never buy from a "system biulder" - waste of money
[19:37] <celthunder> anda jar files are java why would you run them in wine?
[19:37] <andai> Core_UK where do i put it? :P
[19:37] <Plugh> rinkukokiri: Could it be a heat related thing? Does the problem only happen when the machine has been running a while or can you make it lock up just after turning on the machine?
[19:37] <andai> celthunder: there's an EXE that launches the JAR and that works fine, launching the JAR manually does not
[19:37] <celthunder> andai:  what's the error when you run the jar manually
[19:37] <rinkukokiri> Plugh, it's not heat related, as i can run minecraft and get my temps up to 105 gpu and 85 cpu   without any errors
[19:37] <A_J> Onryo, :**( Yet Framinf but les now
[19:38] <Plugh> rinkukokiri: Not so much the mother board but the whole package.
[19:38] <rinkukokiri> and this happened with temps in the 60's
[19:38] <andai> celthunder: the same error the exe gives, except the exe only gives it every now and then, and the rest of the time it works. lemme find it
[19:38] <Core_UK> andai: http://ubuntuguide.net/minecraft-installer-script-install-minecraft-in-ubuntu-completely-with-one-click
[19:38] <celthunder> andai: java -jar <thejarfile> what version of the jre do you have?
[19:39] <andycc> andai: did you install the Sun JVM? Try searching for "sun java" in the Software Center.
[19:39] <andai> Core_UK: Aha! Notch says to use SUN Java for best results :P
[19:39] <rinkukokiri> Core_UK, i bought from newegg... not system builder
[19:39] <andai> andycc yeah it wasn't even in there, i had to add a PPA
[19:39] <linkdead> Im having a problem, I installed screenlets and when I go to run it from the GUI it opens and closes real quick.  When trying to run it from command prompt I get an access error, so I try it as root and it opens, but almost all functionality is disabled.
[19:39] <Core_UK> rinkukokiri: asus = system builder
[19:39] <andycc> andai: huh? Isn't it in the default (partner?) repositories?
[19:40] <Core_UK> andai: openfava works perfect for me on 11.04
[19:40] <Core_UK> andai: openjdk*
[19:40] <rinkukokiri> Core_UK, you find a 17 inch laptop with 9600gsm or better for less than 2 grand then
[19:40] <rinkukokiri> with a dualcore running 2.53
[19:41] <celthunder> rinkukokiri: easy...just build one
[19:41] <Core_UK> rinkukokiri: 9600gsm is nvidia card?
[19:42] <A_J> andycc, Processor: 2.4Ghz (dual core) or 3.5Ghz (single Core) processor <- Minumum Specs to plays full HD :*(
[19:42] <rinkukokiri> Core_UK, considering an alienware with a lesser processor, resolution and graphics card is twice the price
[19:42] <papna_> I'm on ubuntu 10.04 and need a Kerberos-aware ssh client. It seems that the version of OpenSSH installed isn't? Is this correct? Is there a good way to get one?
[19:43] <Core_UK> rinkukokiri: dont by from alienware, you are paying for a logo :P
[19:43] <rinkukokiri> Core_UK, product: G96 [GeForce 9600M GS]  vendor: nVidia Corporation
[19:43] <andycc> rinkukokiri, Core_UK: I may be wrong, but I believe #ubuntu_offtopic is the right place for this conversation.
[19:44] <A_J> Onryo, here ?
[19:44] <celthunder> rinkukokiri: google for barebones laptop (with motherboard/case rest you can add pretty cheaply
[19:44] <Core_UK> andycc: yes indeed, sorry
[19:44] <andycc> papna_: http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/ssh-krb5
[19:45] <andycc> papna_: is this what you're looking for?
[19:45] <andycc> (although probably not after looking at the description, sorry)
[19:46] <A_J> andycc, what do you think, a processer bottle neck ?
[19:47] <andycc> A_J: as I said, the CPU should have absolutely nothing to do with video playback if VDPAU is enabled. I recall you mentioned that VLC got uninstalled; if so, it should be safe to reinstall it and try again.
[19:47] <bullgard4> Why does state Nautilus > Properties of /etc/rc.local > Volume:=unknown?
[19:47] <A_J> i did andycc, it's framing but less comparatively
[19:48] <ward> ward
[19:48] <phreck> what do you guys recommend for an exchange client?
[19:48] <papna_> andycc: It looks like it would be but I cannot ascertain how to make use of the Kerberos-aware clinet.
[19:48] <papna_> andycc: As far as I can tell, that package doesn't contain any executables or libraries.
[19:49] <andycc> phreck: I *think* Evolution is pretty much the only one available for Linux.
[19:49] <phreck> ok
[19:49] <phreck> ty
[19:49] <A_J> andycc,  what was the vlc package you asked me to install ?
[19:49] <Core_UK> Any ubuntu gaming fans in?
[19:50] <ward1234> <----gameing fan
[19:50] <andycc> papna_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Advanced (there's a section on logging in with Kerberos)
[19:51] <broc> i'm using ubuntu 11.04, and i don't know the first thing about connecting a second display. how do i get ubuntu to recognize and use a second monitor?
[19:51] <broc> it's plugged in, but ubuntu doesn't detect it when i go to the Monitors settings
[19:51] <andycc> broc: via what connection is it plugged in?
[19:51] <andycc> (VGA/DVI/HDMI)
[19:52] <broc>  VGA cable
[19:52] <andycc> broc: what graphics card do you have? (Nvidia/ATi/Intel)
[19:52] <broc> Nvidia
[19:53] <jiga> any idea on how to replace all fonts in a pdf document?
[19:53] <papna_> andycc: The section on logging in with Kerberos is short and doesn't actually tell you how to log in with Kerberos. It links you to the wiki page on Kerberos and a guide to setting up Kerberos. The former doesn't contain any ssh-oriented information and the latter focuses on setting up a server to except kerberos logins (and doesn't contain any examples I can find of logging in using kerberized ssh.
[19:53] <dr_willis> broc,  install the nvidia drivers. run the nvidia-settings tool - enable 2nd monitor.  - restart X server to make suire things work right
[19:54] <papna_> andycc: At a higher level, my problem is that I want to connect to Kerberos-demanding server with X forwarding. It looks like kerberized ssh is the way to do that.
[19:54] <dr_willis> broc,  theres some issues witjh Unity and multi monitor support.
[19:54] <broc> whats separate X screen vs TwinView?
[19:54] <dr_willis> broc,  twinview lets you have a single WIDE desktop
[19:54] <papna_> dr_willis: Or TALL desktop. ;)
[19:54] <rinkukokiri> seperate x screen does not allow the dragging of windows between monitors
[19:55] <someprimetime> Does anyone know how I can run as root when booting from an ubuntu live cd?
[19:55] <dr_willis> seperate X screens are Seperate :)
[19:55] <dr_willis> someprimetime,  use sudo as needed.
[19:55] <andycc> broc: indeed, you're going to throw your computer out of the window in anger if you try to put two monitors on top of each other. Also, the unity dock is always going to stay on the leftmost monitor.
[19:55] <rinkukokiri> obvious answer is obvious :D
[19:55] <someprimetime> dr_willis: it'll work even with a live cd?
[19:55] <andycc> papna_: sorry, I'm not an SSH wizard by any means. I was pretty much just googling. You may want to try asking in the Ubuntu forums.
[19:55] <dr_willis> someprimetime,  yes..
[19:56] <someprimetime> dr_willis: thanks, trying it now
[19:56] <linkdead> Im having a problem, I installed screenlets and when I go to run it from the GUI it opens and closes real quick.  When trying to run it from command prompt I get an access error, so I try it as root and it opens, but almost all functionality is disabled.
[19:56] <celthunder> someprimetime: sudo su -
[19:57] <dr_willis> celthunder,  just sudo -i  wil do..

[19:57]  * rinkukokiri has a pic of Chris Hanson for Omegle.com
[19:58] <papna_> lolmatic: Your remark seems not to have anything to do with Ubuntu.
[19:58] <rinkukokiri> and with that, i bid you a goodbye
[19:58] <lolmatic> well firefox is running on ubuntu
[19:58] <maco> lolmatic: so what's your tech support question again?
[19:59] <lolmatic> why does flash suck and why isnt all that done in html5
[19:59] <andycc> maco: is there a virtual-webcam type of app for Ubuntu
[19:59] <dr_willis> lolmatic,  ask adobe.
[20:00] <maco> andycc: i dont know what you mean by virtual webcam
[20:00] <okenobi___> hello everybody, any personal suggestion regarding which diff tools is better: kompare or kdiff3, do you have other opinions (for KDE)
[20:01] <amin`> I want to know how could i work with the DSL part of network-manager in cammand line how to creat connect and run the pppoe connection via network-manager . plz head me on a wiki or something helpful
[20:01] <A_J> andycc, done \o/
[20:01] <andycc> A_J: huh? Did it finally work?
[20:01] <okenobi___> amin`: here http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=3
[20:02] <A_J> yes that link you game me
[20:02] <kleanchap> I am using wicd as my network manager.  After I rebooted the system wth the unplugged wired network, the system is not finding any wireless network.  Where do I setup the wlan SSID information and the password?
[20:02] <A_J> Now to Smplayer. This, for those that don't know, is a QT frontend to mplayer with lots of neat options. The best frontend for mplayer in my view. Gnome-Mplayer is also very good, and is a new gtk gui. The Nvidia VDPAU Team PPA has Smplayer and so does Karmic.
[20:03] <andycc> A_J: you're giving credit to the wrong person, I didn't give you any link to smplayer. :D
[20:03] <amin`> okenobi___, It is exactly for gentoo buddy; but it is the the manual for rp-pppoe
[20:03] <celthunder> kleanchap: wicd-gtk
[20:04] <A_J> na ur the person who deserves the credit u gave me :  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1037625
[20:04] <jiltdil> channel for backtrack5?
[20:04] <amin`> I look for pon network or poff sth like that
[20:04] <celthunder> kleanchap: or you can add it to the config in /etc
[20:04] <Plugh> gmplayer isn't the same as gnome-player and gnome-mplayer is all I have gotten installed since moving to 11.04. smplayer is a very different beast. Useful but not as simple as gmplayer was.
[20:04] <dr_willis> I like a lot of the featrues in smplayer.
[20:04] <celthunder> Plugh: i just use mplayer directly but smplayer /gnome-mplayer are just front ends to the same thing
[20:05] <celthunder> Plugh: so any feature one has all 3 should have
[20:05] <Plugh> celthunder: yes, but they have more than I need. gmplayer was perfect for me.
[20:05] <A_J> andycc, one more question if you dont mind.. Wanted to install a new hdd.. how should i do, i want it to automount at startup
[20:05] <broc> when i set my displays to twinview everything freezes, what is wrong??
[20:05] <dr_willis> celthunder,  i like how smplayer can auto-rember last position when watching a movie/restarting it.
[20:07] <andycc> A_J: maybe take a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions
[20:07] <andycc> I'm not exactly sure what instructions to recommend to a newbie.
[20:07] <dr_willis> !fstab
[20:07] <broc> everything freezes when i try to apply the twinview configuration settings in the nvidia settings, what should i do?
[20:09] <andycc> A_J: maybe you could use pysdm for a GUI configuration tool, a Ubuntu package seems to be available.
[20:09] <Jettis> i'm trying to install ubuntu server but it does not show my disk in install even that i have /dev/sda when switching to terminal
[20:09] <andycc> (just search for pysdm in the Software Center, as usual)
[20:09] <dr_willis> learning how fstab works. is a handy skill to pickup,.
[20:09] <broc> i see that my monitor extends to one long view, but it says revvert back to original settings? and i try to hit ok but everything is frozen nd i hve to restart.
[20:10] <dr_willis> broc,  dont hit apply, perhaps just enable it, then save the xorg.conf file?  but that may lock things up  even worse.. ive had no issues with nvidia  on my cards. 8800gtsxxx
[20:13] <broc> dr_willis is there something i should see in the xorg.conf file when i save it?
[20:13] <dr_willis> broc,  it will add about 4 lines to that file
[20:15] <phoenixsampras> HELP!! what is a good Mysql Client query builder for ubuntu???
[20:16] <broc> dr_willis i can't seem to enable it if i don't hit apply. if i enable it i can only Quit or exit and then it stays disabled
[20:17] <broc> when i try to 'save to X configuration file' it says Failed to parse existing X config file
[20:17] <dr_willis> broc,  you did run the nvidia-settings tool as root?
[20:17] <dobie_gillis> lee:
[20:17] <dobie_gillis> lee:
[20:17] <dr_willis> you could try 'sudo touch /etc/X11/xorg.conf' also. the tool has had issues in the past when no xorg.conf existed
[20:18] <padhu> amin`: Network-manager itself have an DSL configuration tab
[20:18] <amin`> padhu, i know how could i invoke it in command line create and connect
[20:19] <andycc> broc: open a terminal and run 'sudo nvidia-settings' if you haven't run it like that
[20:19] <Dynamit> hello i need to setup virtual host i use webmin but forgot how to setup so it work 100% i have setup 2 virtual host now, but one answer for all call's
[20:19] <padhu> amin`: Try with wvdial
[20:20] <blink_> I'm having difficulty with pulseaudio on my ubuntu desktop acting as a network sink. the server (debian squeeze) is showing access denied errors but I've configured the ubuntu machine's sink
[20:20] <amin`> poff pon howto?
[20:20] <padhu> amin`: pppoe setup also there
[20:21] <broc> ok, i ran nvidia-settings through terminal, and then i enabled the second display, and then  hit "save to X Configuration File". when i open nvidia settings again, the second display is disabled again
[20:22] <dr_willis> broc,  save the file. then restart the X server
[20:22] <broc> how do i restart the x server?
[20:23] <celthunder> broc: you have to run nvidia-settings as root, for it to save to xorg.conf
[20:23] <padhu> amin`: Just pon/poff command works fine for single internet connection. If you use more than one then give ISP name when using the commands
[20:23] <celthunder> broc: nvm i'm reading backwards
[20:23] <broc> also my computer just froze again, nd i can only type..
[20:23] <DigitalSkin> xinput set-prop 11 "Device Enabled" 0 is a way i disable the touchpad on my laptop but i have to do it every time after a restart is there a way to make it stick
[20:24] <broc> how do i restart the x server? is that restarting my computer?
[20:24] <Dynamit> never mind my ? i have fix it
[20:24] <dr_willis> sudo service gdm restart     or logout or reboot
[20:24] <andycc> DigitalSkin: sure thing, put that into Startup Applications
[20:25] <andycc> (search for that using the Unity launcher, or if you're on a classic GNOME session, Settings -> Preferences -> Startup Applications)

[20:26] <Nickkkkk> Hey guys.
[20:26] <Nickkkkk> I have a quick question.
[20:26] <Nickkkkk> I'd like to force my resolution higher than it is now.
[20:26] <Nickkkkk> I'm at 1024 x 768
[20:26] <Nickkkkk> and I'd like the next size up.
[20:27] <andycc> Nickkkkk: what is your monitor's max resolution?
[20:27] <blink_> ok, I'll try like that.  quick question, I want to play music on one machine using mpd, and have it output on another using pulse audio. doesn't work
[20:28] <andycc> Nickkkkk: if 1024x768, try using the script at http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=14588 (it requires you to install Xvnc or something similar though, so look at the source first to see what it needs).

[20:29] <daniel__> how to install tar.gz
[20:29] <papna_> morecheese: pdftotext if you have no taste.
[20:29] <andycc> Nickkkkk: there is no easy GUI way to do this at the moment, sorry. I might write something like that that if I have some free time though.
[20:30] <dr_willis> daniel__,  depends on whats in it.. read the programs docs perhaps?
[20:30] <dr_willis> !source
[20:30] <papna_> daniel__: That is like asking "how do you install a zip"? The answer is "It depends what's inside."
[20:30] <andycc> daniel__: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingEasyHowTo
[20:30] <broc> andycc and dr_willis thank you very much for your help!!! i restarted and my second display works now.
[20:30] <morecheese> papna_: googling...
[20:31] <daniel__> papna, tar -xzvf was what i was looking for couldnt remeber it
[20:32] <dr_willis> !info unp
[20:32] <dr_willis> i just rember 'unp'  :)
[20:32] <physis> nick/
[20:32] <andycc> daniel__: you can use just 'tar -xf' and it'll uncompress
[20:32] <padhu> daniel__:  first untar the archive with archive manager then read README file and follow instructions. Caution: If you are new to Linux, then stick with official repos until you know what is what
[20:33] <andycc> daniel__: what are you trying to install anyway? Maybe it's already in the repositories.
[20:34] <daniel__> andycc, android sdk and eclpise found a couple tutortials that i might take a shot at
[20:34] <andycc> daniel__: doesn't google have an official tutorial on how to do that?
[20:34] <daniel__> andycc, lol havnt found one
[20:34] <coz_> daniel__,  eclipse should be in the repo unless you want a newer version
[20:35] <lg> hello everybody. can someone help me with a routing problem? cable modem with single ip, public subnet routed "over" that ip.

[20:35] <morecheese> anyone know the difference between the poppler-utils and xpdf-utils packages? papna_
[20:36] <morecheese> looks like poppler-utils is based on xpdf-3.0 code base, so wondering what the differences are...
[20:38] <papna_> morecheese: poppler is a library-oriented fork of xpdf. If there is a difference, poppler-utils' pdftotext is probably superior.
[20:38] <escott> morecheese, gnome integration and license i believe. maybe some decryption stuff which xpdf was a little squemish about
[20:40] <morecheese> k thx

[20:44] <koshie> Hi
[20:45] <Beret> but I don't recall a setting that would let me keep the icons and dump the previews, looking now
[20:45] <andycc> Beret: there should be another one called "static application switcher", which I think doesn't use previews.
[20:46] <dr_willis> theres alternative alt-tab switchers also
[20:46] <intmed> I have ubuntu 11.04 installed and now i installed fedor 15 and grub2 curropted. i asked the #fedora folks and now they said me to re-install ubuntu's grub2. i do not have a cd/dvd drive. but have a bootable usb drive with ubuntu 11.04. can i use that live ubuntu to reinstall grub ? How to do that ?
[20:46] <Beret> hah
[20:47] <Beret> that sent unity into a fit
[20:47] <phong_> dr_willis, hi brother

[20:49] <kunji> Does anyone know why fdisk would still report a disk as HPFS/NTFS after it was just partitioned to EXT4?  Does fdisk cache the disk data?  parted now reports it as EXT4.
[20:49] <Plugh> kunji: Have you restarted the machine?
[20:50] <edbian> kunji: It looks at the partition table (fdisk does)  Perhaps it is wrong?
[20:50] <Deitrius> kunji - could be looking at a flag in the partition table as opposed to the actual file system
[20:50] <kunji> Plugh: no, it's a server, and though it's only a testing/dev one, I would still rather not restart it.
[20:50] <intmed> ubottu: Thanks
[20:50] <intmed> Deitrius: Thanks
[20:51] <intmed> ubottu: Hai
[20:51] <dr_willis> kunji,  the kernl can cache the data.  and may not see the change untill a reboot
[20:51] <dr_willis> kunji,  i do recall some command that can force the kernel to rescan.. but i cant recall where i even saw taht at.. and i dont rember it.
[20:51] <kunji> Ok, so it's nothing to worry about though?
[20:51] <dr_willis> kunji,  i find it best to just reboot after doing such changes
[20:52] <Plugh> kunji: I just found the following that might help --> http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/re-read-the-partition-table-without-rebooting-linux-system.html
[20:53] <Bisu[Shield]> i am using ubuntu 11.04 I want to add zend studio to the launcher.  after starting the program and right clicking on the icon I do not see keep in launcher, how can I add this program to the launcher?
[20:53] <Nickkkkk> 0.0
[20:54] <edbian> Bisu[Shield]: The unity launcher on the left?
[20:54] <Bisu[Shield]> yes
[20:54] <edbian> Bisu[Shield]: find the icon in the launcher, drag the icon onto the launcher
[20:54] <linkdead> Hey all, I'm trying to run screenlets, when I try to run as normal user I get: IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/linkdead/.config/autostart/Screenlets Daemon.desktop' I can run as root (sudo screenlets) from terminal and it loads the manager but it tells me almost all functionality is disabled.  When I try to run it from the menu, the manager opens and closes its-self real quick
[20:54] <linkdead> Any ideas?
[20:54] <myloveisnick> Hi guys Im having some problems with ubuntu 10.04 apt-get commands are not working for some reason?
[20:55] <kunji> Plugh: Thanks, but fdisk still returns the same info after that.
[20:55] <myloveisnick> I get bash apt-get command not fouund
[20:55] <Bisu[Shield]> edbian: the icon is in the launcher i see it, when I right click I dont see "keep in launcher" like I do with other programs
[20:55] <linkdead> myloveisnick What output are you getting after trying to use apt-get?
[20:55] <edbian> linkdead: chmod -R linkdead:linkdead /home/linkdead    (You don't everything in your home folder but you should.  That command makes it so you do)
[20:55] <myloveisnick> linkdead I get -bash: apt-get: command not found
[20:55] <edbian> Bisu[Shield]: But it doesn't work?  It must be a bug.
[20:56] <edbian> myloveisnick: sudo apt-get install <something>
[20:56] <edbian> use sudo
[20:56] <myloveisnick> edbian that doesnt work either
[20:56] <linkdead> myloveisnick Sounds like you need to re-download the program, apt-get is part of Synaptec I think, but could be wrong there
[20:56] <Beret> anyone know of a good way of "restarting" unity without logging out/in again?
[20:56] <edbian> linkdead: apt-get and synaptic are separate entities but they achieve the same purpose
[20:57] <Beret> unity did not like me messing with those plugins
[20:57] <edbian> myloveisnick: That is scary.  Can you use aptitude?  synaptic?
[20:57] <phong_> wow, why my wireless just got dis?
[20:57] <phong_> any help?
[20:57] <edbian> phong_: got dis?
[20:57] <phong_> weird..once a while it just not work
[20:57] <phong_> yeah
[20:57] <edbian> What is dis?
[20:57] <phong_> i have to disable and enable it
[20:57] <linkdead> edbian I get: chmod: invalid mode: `linkdead:linkdead after that command
[20:57] <phong_> it stay connected but no internet
[20:57] <edbian> linkdead: sorry, typo!  chown -R linkdead:linkdead /home/linkdead
[20:57] <phong_> i have to do disable wirless then enable it back
[20:57] <myloveisnick> edbian dunno really Im new to this so no clue, Im just trying to follow a guide but apt-get wouldnt work
[20:57] <edbian> chown, not chmod
[20:58] <myloveisnick> I tried debugging myself using google but not luck
[20:58] <phong_> any idea?
[20:58] <edbian> myloveisnick: Can you run aptitude at a terminal?  (something is very wrong here)
[20:58] <myloveisnick> Yum works
[20:58] <edbian> myloveisnick: ...
[20:58] <edbian> myloveisnick: What distro are you using?
[20:58] <myloveisnick> ubuntu 10.04..
[20:58] <edbian> myloveisnick: yum is not part of Ubuntu
[20:59] <phong_> any clue?
[20:59] <myloveisnick> edbian I think my host may have effed LOL, any clue on what command i should use to identify the distn
[20:59] <Deitrius> I appear to have fixed my grub/booting issue. Needed to set the boot flag to sda1
[20:59] <gloria123456789> After updates and package installations (I think) my wireless card stopped working in 11.04, any ideas?  Thansk
[20:59] <linkdead> edbian Thanks man, that worked perfectly!
[21:00] <celthunder> myloveisnick: cat /etc/issue
[21:00] <edbian> what he says
[21:00] <edbian> linkdead: sure
[21:00] <myloveisnick> celthunder Thanks! I guess it is indeed centOS5 damn host messed up
[21:00] <edbian> ha
[21:00] <edbian> that's why apt-get is missing!
[21:01] <myloveisnick> Wasted 30 mins :/
[21:01] <celthunder> myloveisnick: lol centos huh
[21:01] <myloveisnick> Anyone here good with installing OpenVPN?

[21:01] <celthunder> myloveisnick: i use openvpn al the time it's easy to setup...

[21:02] <myloveisnick> celthunder I'm 100% noob
[21:02] <narfanator> Hi guys, I am trying to SSH into one of my Ubuntu machines from the other. Both are on the same network; ssh username@namchinename fails to resolve the host, and using the IP address gets a "Port 22: Connection Refused". I haven't done any special setup; do I need to do something?
[21:02] <myloveisnick> When it says to edit the files I dont even know how to! Im new to using SSH
[21:03] <celthunder> myloveisnick: honestly the easiest way to do it is to just read the openvpn guide on the openvpn site but it comes down to make a dhkey make a server key make client keys move them to appropriate places make the server config make a client config start server connect with client
[21:03] <edbian> myloveisnick: sudo nano /path/to/some/file
[21:03] <myloveisnick> ah ok
[21:03] <myloveisnick> Thanks guys!
[21:03] <dr_willis> narfanator,  on each box. try 'ssh localhost' see if it works
[21:03] <phong_> hi guys, why my wifi always lag out, it still connect but seem like no internet
[21:03] <phong_> i have to disabled and enabled wiless
[21:03] <celthunder> edbian: i wouldn't do that (sudo nano)
[21:03] <edbian> narfanator: Does the server have the package installed?
[21:03] <myloveisnick> I presume I can just edit the file using this putty program
[21:03] <phong_> any idea?
[21:03] <edbian> celthunder: well depends on the file
[21:03] <saamm> hello, what does mouse polling rate = 0 mean in Ubuntu?
[21:04] <narfanator> edbian: Had to auth it, but no error messages
[21:04] <rypervenche> Did you know?: You can type "ssh 0" instead of "ssh localhost"? Tip of the day!
[21:04] <narfanator> woop
[21:04] <celthunder> edbian: i mean nano in sudo ...it overwrites the .history file nano uses and then you have to remove it or chown it again
[21:04] <edbian> saamm: Well mouse polling means 'see where the mouse is periodically'  The 0 means as often as possible
[21:04] <narfanator> other computer gets Port 22: Connection Refused
[21:04] <edbian> celthunder: Really?  Never knew that!
[21:05] <quiescens> rypervenche: how often do you ssh localhost though?
[21:05] <gloria123456789> Is there a way to revert back to packages and setting installed a day ago?
[21:05] <rly> I do apt-get remove evolution, but afterwards the Evolution menu entry is still there. Why?
[21:05] <celthunder> gloria123456789: uhm not really unless yo uhave a backup
[21:05] <rypervenche> quiescens: I know one person who does.
[21:05] <saamm> edbian, all my mouse  has become extremely over sensitive in natty....reducing or increasing polling can solve this problem?
[21:06] <edbian> saamm: Where is that setting?  (perhaps)
[21:06] <celthunder> saamm: change the dpi leave the polling rate at 1000 hertz or whatever max your mouse will take
[21:06] <saamm> edbian, cat /sys/module/usbhid/parameters/mousepoll
[21:06] <celthunder> saamm: and honestly changing the sensitivity is even better than changing the dpi...
[21:06] <edbian> saamm: I like celthunder's suggestion
[21:06] <gloria123456789> celthunder: ok, any idea why my wireless would randomly stop working
[21:06] <rly> gloria123456789: not in Ubuntu.
[21:06] <saamm> celthunder, how can i change dpi in ubuntu
[21:07] <rly> gloria123456789: use NixOS or Nix packages if you want that next time.
[21:07] <narfanator> edbian: I can ssh from one to the other (works when the target succeeds at ssh localhost), but not the other way around, presumably for the same reason I can't 'ssh localhost' on that machine
[21:07] <saamm> celthunder, also how to know max possible polling rate of a mouse.
[21:07] <celthunder> gloria123456789: ? does it see the wireless card
[21:08] <edbian> narfanator: You have to install an ssh server (it's software) on each machine that you want to ssh INTO.  sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[21:08] <narfanator> Ok
[21:08] <gloria123456789> celthunder: not anymore, the wireless light isnt on and it doesnt find it in the ubuntu interface.  It worked, but I ran updates and such now it doesnt work
[21:08] <edbian> narfanator: :)
[21:08] <saamm> wow there is no ubuntu wiki on mouse polling
[21:08] <celthunder> gloria123456789: ok what's the chipset?
[21:09] <narfanator> edbian: thanks! working now
[21:09] <celthunder> saamm: it should be on your mouse (dpi/poll rate) and like i said change senstivity first leave those maxed out
[21:09] <kunji> rly: you probably need to purge it.
[21:09] <edbian> narfanator: Glad I helped you! :)
[21:09] <narfanator> although... I have to be using the IP addresses, what do I do to make it recognize the $HOSTNAMEs?
[21:09] <gloria123456789> celthunder i think intel broadcom but not sure --- easy way to check?
[21:09] <luka__> is anyone here?
[21:10] <Jamesuperfun> hello
[21:10] <saamm> celthunder, changing mouse sensitivity and accelration is not helping
[21:10] <luka__> hi everyone
[21:10] <celthunder> gloria123456789: lspci
[21:10] <edbian> narfanator: You can do hostname.local
[21:10] <luka__> lspci grep | wire
[21:10] <Jamesuperfun> can someone help me fix my no wireless prblem?
[21:10] <edbian> narfanator: You could optionally set up a DNS server (perhaps not worth the effort)
[21:10] <luka__> lspci | grep wire
[21:10] <celthunder> saamm: ok then what mouse do you have ? i have a dpi button i can set my dpi/poll rate with on the mouse itself
[21:10] <edbian> luka__: ?
[21:10] <narfanator> edbian: as in, ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[21:10] <celthunder> saamm: o ne sec looking how to do it via os though
[21:10] <edbian> narfanator: Yes.  That should work on base installs
[21:10] <saamm> okay
[21:11] <luka__> he can filter lspci results with keyword wire
[21:11] <narfanator> edbian: Nope, not working
[21:11] <luka__> otherwise lspci displays many results
[21:11] <narfanator> It's ok, the IP address works well enough for my rare usage
[21:11] <gloria123456789> celthunder: 00:16.0 Communication controller: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset HECI Controller (rev 06)
[21:11] <gloria123456789> ???
[21:11] <Jamesuperfun> umm... could somebody help me?
[21:11] <edbian> narfanator: Sure, you can edit the hostname (not a really good solution)
[21:11] <celthunder> gloria123456789: that's not a wireless card?
[21:11] <luka__> anyone uses xchat? how do i connect to custom irc channel?
[21:11] <edbian> narfanator: but many people just use IP address on little local networks
[21:11] <gloria123456789> celthunder: wirelss card not showing up
[21:12] <celthunder> luka__: /newserver or /server <server> <port> <pass>
[21:12] <narfanator> edbian: Nono; I mean, ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>gets "Name or service not known", but ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>works just fine
[21:12] <luka__> thanks a lot
[21:12] <celthunder> gloria123456789: is it a usb wireless card?
[21:12] <kunji> Jamesuperfun: just put any questions you have out here and if someone knows they'll probably help.
[21:12] <gloria123456789> celthunder: nope
[21:12] <celthunder> gloria123456789: pastebin lspci then and i'll find it
[21:12] <Jamesuperfun> ok
[21:12] <edbian> narfanator: I know that isn't working (I thought it might). I'm saying that you can edit the /etc/hosts file as well.
[21:13] <edbian> narfanator: But many people just use IP addresses.  That's totally normal on a small network.
[21:13] <narfanator> Yeah
[21:13] <edbian> narfanator: sure
[21:13] <Waqas> hoi
[21:13] <narfanator> so, in /etc/hosts I'd add in "192.168.... hostname", yes?
[21:13] <gloria123456789> celthunder: http://pastebin.com/qqaH4JEn   thanks
[21:13] <celthunder> saamm: what mouse do you have
[21:14] <edbian> narfanator: yep
[21:14] <alcane> it's been a while for me at the command line and ubuntu's telling me I should use upstart instead of the init.d script... can't seem to find the command for using upstart
[21:14] <Jamesuperfun> IDK why, but my wireless won't work. It works in my multiplae copies of windows 7 but not in ubuntu. Wired is fine, my networking is enabled but I cannot enable wireless. Propitary drivers(or whatever they are called) are enabled.
[21:14] <edbian> narfanator: Although, if you're running DHCP it will eventually change (which is what makes this lousy)
[21:14] <narfanator> oh, but I don't know if that IP will change on me - I only ever have a couple of computers on the network, so will they remain the same for each computer, or change every reboot/reconnect?
[21:14] <celthunder> alcane: something like service <name> start i think
[21:14] <edbian> Jamesuperfun: What card do you have?
[21:14] <Jamesuperfun> Intel... something.
[21:14] <guntbert> alcane: try sudo service <name> start
[21:14] <narfanator> How do I tell if I'm running DHCP?
[21:15] <saamm> celthunder, Genius Xscroll Optical Wheel Mouse
[21:15] <edbian> narfanator: If you assigned static addresses, you are NOT using dhcp.  If you plug in your computer and it works, you are using DHCP.
[21:15] <narfanator> Ok, I'm using DHCP
[21:15] <edbian> narfanator: Often, on a small network, the DHCP lease ends, the client requests a new IP, and the router gives it the same IP.  This happens over and over so sometimes the DHCP assigned address appears to never change.
[21:16] <edbian> narfanator: But usually the lease is something like a day or a week.
[21:16] <narfanator> Ok
[21:16] <cavr> hello
[21:16] <narfanator> Thanks!
[21:16] <ubuntuCEO> hi i was watching youtube and it crashes my computer then when i try to hard reboot it, i cant get back to ubuntu, it said Disk boot failure, insert system disk and press enter?
[21:16] <saamm> celthunder, its not specific to one mouse...it happens with any mouse that i connect
[21:16] <cavr> one question for the ubuntu users
[21:16] <edbian> narfanator: sure
[21:16] <celthunder> edbian: you can set static addresses with dhcp...
[21:16] <Jamesuperfun> edbian - intel, but i am not sire of the model.
[21:16] <ubuntuCEO> could it be something wrong with my harddisk or flash kill something important?
[21:16] <edbian> celthunder: Yes, I know.
[21:17] <cavr> how can you install the netcdf package + development (includes) in ubuntu, by command line
[21:17] <alcane> celthunder: thx
[21:17] <cavr> netcdf version 3
[21:17] <alcane> guntbert: thanks!
[21:17] <cavr> i don't have ubuntu so i cannot see it now
[21:17] <guntbert> alcane: you're welcome :-)
[21:17] <cavr> but i know it will be something like apt-get install netcdf netcdf-devel ?
[21:17] <celthunder> ubuntuCEO: does your hdd work?
[21:17] <cavr> or
[21:17] <narfanator> ok, file transfer in progress (scp), thanks for the help, ~out
[21:17] <cavr> apt-get install netcdf-3 netcdf-devel-3
[21:18] <celthunder> gloria123456789: is that a custom pc if not what's the name/model
[21:18] <ubuntuCEO> celthunder, dont know yet, i just insert ubuntu liveCD in and it is loading
[21:18] <edbian> Jamesuperfun: lspci -k  will help
[21:18] <kunji> Jamesuperfun: you might find it with the command   "lspci | grep Intel" without the quotes, in terminal of course.
[21:18] <Waqas> hi everybody
[21:18] <ubuntuCEO> celthunder, it takes forever to load?
[21:18] <gloria123456789> celthunder: toshiba a505-s6005
[21:18] <rly> kunji: The following packages will be REMOVED:<newline> evolution*
[21:18] <kunji> edbian: sorry, didn't see yours first there.
[21:18] <rly> kunji: it says that, but nothing happens.
[21:19] <edbian> kunji: copy cat
[21:19] <rly> kunji: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded
[21:19] <rly> kunji: command was: apt-get remove --purge evolution\
[21:19] <rly> kunji: command was: apt-get remove --purge evolution
[21:19] <edbian> rly: Sometimes the menu items remain.  I believe it is a bug.  I see it happen too but I can't figure out the cause.  You can edit the menu and remove them manually.
[21:20] <kunji> rly: What edbian said, just delete it manually.
